And, leaned against the wall, a portrait, the cloth covering it beginning to slip away. Curiosity bubbles up inside Essek and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s crossed the room to the frame and is pulling the cloth free. A puff of dust fills the air, making him cough and distracting him from his quarry for a moment. When it settles, he blinks and wipes the grime from his eyes, slowly taking in the subject painted in rich color. Or, while searching one of Tidepeak's storage chambers for a trove of books, Essek discovers something from Yussa's past.
Another one? Another one! One of my favorites so far, definitely :3 what's more intimate than a dust filled storage room, hm? I hope you enjoy! 💜💛

HIII SAKURAAA FOR DAY 6 OF TKTOBER, MAYBE LER HAJIME AND LEE NICO OR JUST ANY OF THE INMATES FROM CELL 13 I LOVE THEM MY BABIES
Tickletober day #6: Chase
WOOO FIRST NANBAKA FIC BABYYY (wrote this prior to the other one)
I rlly struggle so hard to write ler Hajime im so sorry 😭 So I went with ler Upa instead cause I just LOVE his dynamic with Nico 💖💖💖💖💖
Hope you like it! I had a lot of fun writing this :3
Tumblr media
___________________________________________
Nico x Upa (interpret as you wish)
Lee: Nico
Ler: Upa
Warnings: Tickles!
___________________________________________
“You’ll have to catch me first!” were Nico’s last words before dashing on out of the room. Was Upa really about to indulge in this childish display, yes, yes he was.
Prior to that, Nico had been up to his usual shenanigans, trying to get his “master” to teach him his sick moves. Of course, Upa couldn’t do that with the potential harm it could cause, but nothing he said could deteer away the stubborn greenette. When all hope felt lost, he remembered something that Nico’s cellmates shared with him. Something that would surely tire out this bundle of joy. It was a silly plan, but Upa had no other choice.
“Nico” spoke up the blue haired male sternly. But that didn’t last long as his voice started to waver. “This is so stupid…” he muttered under his breath before speaking up once more. “If you don’t stop, I’ll uhh… t-tickle you…”. His cheeks slowly went up in flames, although the talisman smacked dead center in his forehead did a good job of hiding his evergrowing blush.
Nico felt taken aback at the sudden threat, but it didn’t last long as his face lit up with excitement “Haha! You’ll have to catch me first~”.
And thus we go back to their current predicament. I mean, Upa kinda brought this upon himself. With no other choice, he chased after Nico down the halls of Nanba prison (surely they’ll get scolded later but whatever).
Nico’s cheerful laugh echoed all over the place, while Upa had the most determined look on his face. Nico might’ve been fast, but Upa had a plan. Taking a detour, he managed to catch up to Nico. Ungraciously tackling him, causing botj of them to roll across the ground, until Upa managed to straddle Nico’s hips.
“Hyahaha! You’re too good at this game, master. You’ll have to teach me your strategy later~”.
“We’ll see about that” Upa’s hands quickly latched onto Nico’s sides. Albeit, he wasn’t sure what he was doing, something as silly as tickling wasn’t something he was used to. Seeing his uncertainty, Nico decided to help him out. He softly grabbed Upa’s hands and guided them towards his tummy.
“Try here instead!” spoke out the greenette with a bright smile.
“Erm… like this?” Upa started to slowly wiggle his fingers along the spot, a bit clumsily at that.
“Ehehehe! Yeheah just like thahat!” Nico playfully kicked his legs out from bejinf like a puppy.
Seeing the cute reactions from his friend underneath him, Upa started to gain s bit more confidence and sped up his fingers. Enjoying watching Nico wriggling all over the place.
“What about here? This tickle too?~” he’s not sure where this teasing came from, but I guess we’re rolling with it. Upa moved his hands up to Nico’s ribs, gently massaging between each bone.
“aCK! AHAHAHA! YEHEHES! IT REHEHEALLY TICKLES!!!” Nico squealed and threw his head back in boisterous laughter. Upa couldn’t help but giggle along, his laugh was so happy and carefree, so contagious.
“Let’s see… maybe here??~” the blue haired male gave a soft squeeze to Nico’s hips, almost getting bucked off in the process. “Oh? Bad spot?~” Upa started rubbing his thumbs along the sensitive hipbones, causing Nico to shriek in ticklish glee.
“WAHH! HYAHAHAHA! I-I CAHAHAN’T! I GIHIHIVE!!!” Nico shrieked out as he wheezed in laughter. His long, green hair having become a complete mess with all his squirming.
Seeing how Nico’s body stopped reacting so vividly, Upa decided to cut him some slack and got off of him. He looked down at the panting inmate, feeling a sense of pride in being able to wear him out. He’d never admit it out loud, but Upa had the time of his life playing this silly game with Nico. Perhaps it wasn’t so bad having him around.

if only
[malleus draconia x reader]
@geodraconia asked: Hey there ! Love your writing ~❤ Can you write a piece for Malleus and a s/o who dies protecting him? They both loved each other but never confessed it and were always struggling.
good angsty fics for a good rainy day. also i wrote the whole fic on paper cuz i didn’t feel like typing it out on my laptop. it just gives me different vibes lolol~
THE grueling memories ate at him. it clawed at him. it hurt him, demanding to be felt. he would spend the cold, lonely nights leaned against the fence of the ramshackle dorm. the place where he and the love of his life first met. he reminisced on the bitter yet sweet memories of him and his love. why did he even go back to that broken down dorm even when he knew it was no longer abandoned? why did he even go back every night to meet the human who would soon steal his heart? why did he even help them when they were in need? why did he even fall in love..? his love’s soothing voice still rung in his ears. “malleus...” how his name would gracefully escape their lips and be heard as a blissful melody to his hears.
you were his world. and he was yours. he would give anything and everything he had to be able to have you be beside him once more. after all, he never got to say the three words to come out of his mouth. those three word beings a declaration of admiration and affection, “i love you”. tonight however, was different. tonight had been a night of dread. a night where he got reminded who’s fault it truly was that you were now gone. 
“malleus please listen to me! it’s all too suspicious! do you not see?” you pleaded him to stay. malleus had received a letter from an anonymous sender. the letter consisted of an invitation for him to meet this anonymous sender at 5 pm in an unknown location to malleus.  “(y/n), please. there’s a possibility it might be something important.” he replied. you didn’t agree with decision. you knew he practically had a target painted on his back. you knew the many enemies he had as it came with his infamous title. “it’s worrying! the letter told you not to take lilia, silver, or sebek with you! please! how does this not sound suspicious at all to you?!” you grabbed his hand, trying to pull him back and hopefully just make him listen to more of your words. he thrashed his hand and pulled it away from you.
“(y/n) why do you even bother?” although he didn’t raise his voice, you were able to tell from his tone that it was cold and menacing even. because i care about you, those words almost slipped out. “well...it’s because...” you really couldn’t answer. you really didn’t know what to answer. “if you don’t even have an answer then why should you bother?” malleus hissed as he left the room. tears pricked the corner of your eyes. your suspicions still stood and you took it upon yourself to run as fast as your feet could take you and chase after malleus. malleus stood there in an unfamiliar are which was a clearing surrounded by trees and a dark forest. he examined his surroundings while waiting for the anonymous sender to show up.
“draconia.” a hooded figure stepped out from the shadows and presented himself in front of malleus. he recognized him. of course he did. he would recognize that face anywhere. it was his fated enemy, a student from royal sword academy. “i want nothing to do with you.” he started to turn away before the figure cleared their throat. “this rivalry has to end.” malleus stopped in his tracks. “excuse me?” his rival stepped forward towards malleus. “this has gone on for far too long!” you popped your head out from the trees to be able to witness the scene unravel in front of your very eyes. “i propose peace. i want this rivalry to end. what good has this rivalry brought onto us? it has brought both our sides nothing but disaster. i want that to stop today. please. i don’t want to see anyone suffer.” 
the first thing that came up in malleus’s mind was you. he could imagine the smile on your face when he’d tell you how the rivalry had stopped. how happy you would be. now he felt guilty for treating you the way he did earlier. “so, what do you say? allies?” malleus hesitated. no matter how much he hated him, he wanted to do this for you. his precious (y/n). oh how you’ve made his heart gone soft. he turned around to gaze into his rival’s eyes. you couldn’t stop yourself from smiling. finally, the day arrived the stupid rivalry between the two of them was about to stop. while lost in your own thoughts, you could hear a click coming from a nearby distance to where you were standing. you were aghast to see the sight of many students from royal sword academy wielding crossbows with a red liquid coating the sharp edge of the arrow. you learnt well enough from professor crewel’s alchemy class, that the red liquid was one of the deadliest poisons which was able to kill anything, no matter how strong they were. an agonizing, painful death. 
your breath hitched as your body was filled with the rush of adrenaline. you realized that the signal was going to be when malleus and his rival would shake hands..! malleus had already extended his hand to shake hands. you took off running in their direction as fast as you can. however it was too late. the arrows were released and you didn’t have enough time to warn him. “malleus..!” you stepped behind him, shielding him from the incoming arrows. your back faced the tree-line as you slowly started to feel a sharp, hot, piercing sensation on your back. he failed to comprehend what was going on as when he turned around, your back was covered with arrows, piercing through your skin and coated you in a layer of dark red. “(y/n)!” he caught you in his arms. blood trickled from your mouth but alas you kept a smile. “b-before...i do ha..have an answer....for you.” it was hard for you to breathe, let alone talk. 
“i bo...bother...because...i...i care...about you, m..malleus!” it pained him to hear your words as you struggled to engulf large amounts of air as you could. it pained him to hear your usual sweet, alluring voice become so hoarse and lifeless. it pained him to hear you like this. a lump formed on the back of his throat, suffocating him. “no..no..! (y/n)! stay with me! please...” you felt yourself getting weaker and weaker, slipping away from life’s grasp by the second. “malleus...” with your weak, blood stained hands, you reached out to touch his face, for the last time. “i...i...i lo--” your eyes were struck with lifelessness as your hand grew limp, falling out of malleus’s reach and onto the ground. your final breath left your pale lips. you were gone. physically there but in all other aspects, missing. malleus had just witnessed his whole world crumble. tears streamed down his face. this couldn’t be real! this must be a nightmare! malleus held you close to his chest, sobs erupting from him. 
all those who wielded the crossbows retreated, afraid what would happen to them. malleus growled as his eyes glowed a dangerous green laced with malicious intent. “some alliance..!” green flames erupted and burnt everything around him, getting rid of his rival and al his goons in the process. there was no end to this flame, there was no end to this pain. there was no end to this grief. there was no pain to this guilt. lilia, sebek, and silver arrived moments too late as the three saw his suffering figure which cradled your dead body in his arms. if only he had just listened. if only he didn’t let himself but so full of himself. if only he was able to admit to you and himself that he truly cared about you. it’s all my fault. if i just listened to you, none of this would have happened. (y/n)...i’m so sorry my love. 
you were always ravishing in his eyes. both in life and in death. your body was encased in a glass coffin adorned with an array of flowers. malleus had cast a spell to prevent your body from ever decaying. even in your state, you still had a smile visible on your face. that was the same smile which you had when you parted with your love. malleus stood in front of your coffin placed in the middle of a secret garden he built just for you. in the past, he hoped that one day the two of you would spend time with each other in this secret garden of his, but now the circumstances were different. now one was lost in the depths of death while the other was roaming the living world however not feeling alive. “(y/n) my love...i’m so so so sorry.” he placed a blood red rose on top of your glass coffin. he bent down and kissed the coffin. “i’m so sorry. if only i wasn’t so dense. so stupid. so full of myself.”
“if only i realized sooner....things would’ve been different. if only i was able to tell you how much i love you. if only...”
ok that was a tad bit angsty ehehehe. all that aside, i miss the comfort of writing in a proper notebook lol. i’ll make the drafts for all these fics in my book first i guess eheh
love, a♕

It had been a good long while since Bunbun worked on an exploration ship. She’d been stuck updating supply line SKELDs for awhile, and got bogged down repairing virus bound code in defensive SKELDs for longer. Exploration ships were like little breathers in the middle. It meant she just had to worry about one ship, once all the updates were done. She could sit and watch the stars. Make a friend, if she was lucky. And, on days like these, it meant she’d be helping out with something bigger. Planet 236-OCE-849 was a gorgeous world. A new one, too! Sector G was largely new to HQ. They had high hopes for the planets and inhabitants. This one in particular was the first they’d set up a base on. Crashing waves and strange colorful formations were the source of many rumors across the airwaves. Bun had been unable to see the planet’s surface as they descended, but the views before they made landing preparations were breathtaking. Most of it was enveloped by an ocean. The water bound world was like a painted marble, little bits of vibrant colors poking through. She’d never seen land so vivid. It made her all the more eager to get down to the surface.
The door of the ship opened with a loud hiss of pressurized air. Metal clanked against itself as the two halves pulled themselves apart, the groaning making everything in the vicinity go still. Of course, what happened afterwards was anything but. The gangplank was already lowered, so the cooped up crewmates came scrambling out. Captain Groud was first, their voice echoing back towards the ship as they called for the Mission Lead. Silk trailed after, one of xyr robots hot on xyr heels. Rose and Laser went off as a pair, aiming to tend to any wounded and check how defenses were going. Nanner emerged with supplies already loaded, a couple crewmates from the planet coming to help her transport them where needed. Lemon and Junior were off to check the base’s energy status, the son sticking anxiously close to his father. River, to no one’s surprise, sauntered off the ship to go find somewhere to lounge. Groud said he’d help when they needed him, but from the looks the rest of the crew gave, there was probably a fat chance. That left Bunbun walking down the gangplank last. She was glad now that she’d pulled down her solar visor. The light outside was nearly blinding compared to the ship’s lobby. Around her she could see miles and miles of open sea, the bluish purple waves almost hauntingly familiar. Like an echo of the blue green waters she had back at home… I wonder why the water here is more purple… I bet Rose might know. She only took her eyes off the ocean when something crunched under her boot. She drew back hastily, afraid she’d stepped on some planetary inhabitant- only to draw in a sharp breath from surprise. The ground she stood on was a bright pastel orange. Upon closer inspection, it looked to be made out of some sort of… finely webbed rock? Coral, she realized, eyes widening. Her gaze snapped up to the island they’d landed on. The whole thing looked like a fractured rainbow, colors radiating across the ground. It was all made of the same webbed rock- coral, as she’d remembered. The realization had her bouncing on her heels. I’m standing on an island made of coral!!! She took another hesitant step. It crunched again under her foot. She couldn’t keep herself from giggling as she kept moving, feet dancing over coral that shifted from orange to yellow to green to purple. A myriad of colors, and all so bright!!! She’d never laid eyes on anything quite like it. “Enjoying the scenery?” a voice called, snapping Bun out of her happy dance. She froze in place, instantly standing to attention and trying not to drop her tablet. Another voice laughed, the sound carrying closer as her face flushed. When Groud’s star patched green and Silk’s beat up purple came into view, she let herself breathe. Ok. So. She hadn’t entirely made a fool out of herself. These two, at least, knew who she was. “M-maybe a little, Captain, eheheh,” she called sheepishly. “I’ve never been on a planet with coral islands before.” “Well, it’s a treat for you then!” Groud laughed. “Hey, if you’re not busy, why don’t you go head down to the power room?” “Oh, are the base crewmates busy?” Bun blinked. “Yeah, a little,” Groud nodded. “There’s a lot going on. Lots to update and lots to move.” “That, and Lemon ‘n Junior said they might need some help,” Silk added. Between you and me, I think they just want someone they can rely on to help figure the energy out.” Bunbun’s face flushed again, the warmth from Groud’s voice and Silk’s visor-shadowed smile buoying her mood higher. She’d only been with this crew a few days, but they trusted her this much? … Honestly, she couldn’t tell if that was foolish or not. But things needed fixing, and her crewmates needed help. So, off she went.
The base layout was pretty standard. It was a bit compressed to fit the strange coral island, but they’d managed to fit everything in about the right place. Lucky for Bun, she didn’t have too far to go. The building to the gangplank’s right would give her access to Electrical’s courtyard. The crunching of multicolored polyps beneath her feet made her smile with giddiness, picking up the pace to get inside the base. The door was already left open- standard procedure for operating periods- so she strolled right through. Nobody seemed to be waiting for her in the building’s lobby. She’d guess they were all outside, if it weren’t for a few voices. She could hear a couple people down in the security area. River and some other security crewmates, if her auditory memory served. They were talking pretty boisterously. She hooked a hasty left out towards the courtyard, eager to move on before one of them noticed her. The courtyard was once again standard. Four generators, one control panel along the outside wall, and cagey wire fencing around the edges. Bunbun found herself wondering once again what that was meant to keep out. On a new planet like this, nobody really knew what to expect. It could be anything. Images of creeping beasts and flashing eyes started to bubble up, so she shoved the thought out of her mind. It was fine! The fence would do its job, surely. Just as she would do hers. It’s fine. Lemon and Junior were standing before the control panel, their confused chatter making Bun glad they enlisted her help. From the frustrated looks on their faces, they needed it. They should teach more cross system repair in the academy… oh dear… “You two need some help?” Bun called, striding over to the panel. The pair looked up, relief instantly appearing on their faces. “Bunbun, thank fuck,” Lemon sighed. He leaned against the wall, pulling his goggles back up over unruly red hair. “we’re really goin through the ringer here…” “Y-yeah, uh, any help would be really appreciated,” Junior added sheepishly. He fiddled with his tablet, nervous fingers closing out a couple HQ manual tabs. “Of course, guys,” Bunbun smiled shyly. She tilted her head at the open panel, a mess of wires greeting her. Well. That was. Not encouraging. Her brows furrowed the more she looked, eyes trying to trace input to output and back. “... ok. I uh. I see several problems here.” “That’s an understatement,” Lemon snorted, shaking his head. “I don’t even know where to start.” “Did you make sure to take the relevant systems offline?” Bun asked. “Already done,” Junior nodded. He held up his tablet, a couple tabs pulled up to show electrical systems operating on reserve. “We can’t keep it offline for too long, or else the lights are gonna go out. Which, um, wouldn’t be super fun.” “Right, we’ll have to move fast,” Bunbun replied. “I think I can manage that.” Rubbing her hands together, she eyed the mess of wires before them. She’d handled worse, right? This wouldn’t take too terribly long. It was only when she remembered the other two were watching that her confidence faltered. Was she supposed to help? Was it even ok to take over here??? “... Is, um, is it ok if I… uh… manage it…?” She chuckled timidly, scuffing a boot on the ground. “By all means, dear,” Lemon chuckled, giving her a little dramatic bow as he moved back. “I’ll give you all the space you need.” “Just remember we’re here to help if you need!” Junior offered, scooting back to his dad’s side. He smiled nervously, the sun flashing off his visor as he shifted a bit in place. Gathering courage, if his next little quip was anything to go by. “We might, uh, know the reactor better, but we still know our way around a pair of wire cutters! Eheheheh...” Bunbun smiled gratefully at them both. “Of course, thank you. I’m, um, gonna get on this as fast as I can.” With that, she fixed her attention on the wires once more. Whoever set this base up hadn’t been picky about organization. She could fix that easy enough. She’d just… start by sorting the colors. Taking a breath, the electrician hefted up her tablet, free hand reaching carefully for the nearest red wire. Yeah. This would be over in a sinch. And maybe later, she could go explore a bit more. The thought made her grin wide, fingers flying between wires even faster. Oh, yes. Seeing some more of this beautiful planet would be worth any circuitry headaches. She’d just have to remember to add this to the ship’s log later…

miracle on cornelia street [dean/castiel]
so BASICALLY sarah @adanceinasnowglobe and i were talking about what everyone would be up to post-series -- yknow, like, now that theyre all safe and healthy n everythings cool and destiel is officially together. yknow. as happened in canon -- and we were like so obviously destiel get a house, and thats kind of the basis of this verse so !! this is the foundational fic for what i HOPE will be a series of fun lil day-in-the-life drabbles, from both me and sarah!! 
ehehehe :-) enjoy!
read on AO3
The house is a quaint thing, sitting low and snug under a pair of shady oak trees in a quiet suburb just outside of downtown Lawrence. Its brickwork face is weathered—definitely in need of a good power wash—and the roof is just as worn. The bottom step to the porch slants unevenly, and the porch itself has cracks in the concrete. There are chips in the paint on the window frames, the iron porch railing is rusting, and who knows when the gutters were last given a proper cleaning.
There’s a lot of work to be done, but standing there in the small front lawn, Dean Winchester can’t say if he’s ever seen anyplace else so perfect as the house at 3767 Cornelia Street. Dean’s house—his home. His home with Cas.
“Can you believe it?” he quietly says to Miracle, who has been sitting patiently by Dean’s leg. Miracle tilts her head and wags her tail. Dean looks back up at the house. “Yeah, me neither.”
The sound of a familiar car rumbling up the road snaps Dean out of his reverie. He rubs a knuckle at his eye and clears his throat and tries to look like he hadn’t been standing in his front yard about to cry while talking to his dog, christ.
The car rolls to a stop on the curb just in front of the house. The driver’s side door opens, and Sam slowly unfolds his ridiculous limbs as he gets out. It’s always a wonder how he can fit himself into a car at all. Sam gives a dorky little wave as he ambles over to where Dean is standing.
Dean peers behind Sam, trying to see into the car. “What, no Eileen?”
“Hello to you, too. Dick,” he replies snarkily. “She’s wrapping up a work thing. She’ll come over when she’s done.”
Dean sucks his teeth in disappointment. “Ah, well. Guess you can go home then.” Sam shoves at his shoulder. Dean just laughs and pulls Sam in for a proper hello hug.
“Why are you standing out here, anyway?” Sam asks when they part.
“Can’t a man just hang out in his own front yard? Accompanied by a dashing canine companion?” He leans down to pat Miracle on the head.
“I guess…” Sam looks down at Miracle. When she tips her head up and gazes back at him, Sam snorts.
“What?”
“Miracle on Cornelia Street,” Sam says with mirth.
Dean squints at him. “What?” he repeats, now more incredulous.
“You know—like Miracle on 34th Street. But we’re on Cornelia, so.” He nods down at the dog. “Miracle on Cornelia Street.”
“Dude.” Dean rolls his eyes at Sam’s goofy grin and starts walking up the path to the house, Miracle trotting behind him. “Shut up and come inside already.”
Sam follows after him, pausing just inside the threshold as he spots something on the doorframe. “Oh, classy,” he says, throwing a sardonic look to where D.W. and C.W. are scratched into the wood.
“Just wait,” Dean jokes with a toothy smile, “when I got the time I’m gonna draw a little heart around it.” He was joking, but now that he said it, he kind of wanted to.
Cas looks up from the stove when they walk into the dining room. He’s wearing one of Dean’s old AC/DC tees, the logo all but worn away from being washed so many times. He’s usually in some ratty tee or other when lounging around these days. But in honor of Sam’s visit today (Cas’ words) and to seem a little more dressy short of donning his usual button-downs (Dean’s private opinion), he’s also wearing the cable-knit cardigan Sam got him as a gift last Christmas. “Hi, Sam.”
Sam leans against the counter that separates the dining and kitchen areas, craning his giraffe neck to catch a glimpse at the stove. “Hey, Cas! What’cha cooking?”
“Nothing. Dean made it. I was just watching the pot so it didn’t boil over.” He locks eyes with Dean, his intent stare very clearly communicating I did not touch the chili I added nothing I did not touch the dial I was just watching it like you asked so don’t even start.
Dean just smiles as he walks past the counter and steps into Cas’ space. “Thank you, sweetheart,” he says, and busses Cas on the cheek.
“You’re welcome,” Cas replies warmly. He’s gazing up at Dean with those summer afternoon blue eyes, standing in one of Dean’s shirts and that dorky cardigan, and Dean starts to get full of that feeling from out in the front yard again. If they were alone, Dean would probably say something recklessly sappy like I am so stupid in love with you.
As it is, Dean clears his throat and turns back to Sam, slinging an arm around Cas’ shoulders, and says, “He did the salad.”
Cas sneaks him a knowing look before, thankfully, putting his attention on Sam without commenting on Dean’s hasty redirection. “I did the salad,” Cas agrees blithely, and places the salad bowl on the counter for Sam to see, seeming pleased with himself.
Sam looks between the two of them, an amused tilt to his eyebrow that Dean implicitly distrusts. He’s definitely thinking mocking thoughts about the two of them. But he just quirks a smile and says, “It looks great.” Shrewd little diplomat.
Cas shifts to the side to see past Sam’s shoulder. Sam glances behind himself before shooting Cas a confused look.
“She’s still at work,” Dean tells Cas, guessing who he’s looking for. “Sadly.”
“What, am I not good enough?”
“Of course you are,” Cas promises earnestly, just as Dean says, “Well…”
Sam’s opening his mouth to retort, probably something absolutely scathing, when his phone chimes. He pulls it out of his pocket, a smile spreading over his face. “Speak of the devil,” he says, then tips his head with a grimace, “as it were. That was Eileen. She’ll be here soon, so I’m gonna go wash up.”
“Bathroom’s down the hall—“
“Dude, I know where it is. I did help you guys move in.”
Dean spreads his hands in assent. “Fine, christ, I swear never to be a good host to you in my home ever again. Go ahead and go take your dump now.”
“I’m not gonna—ohmygodnevermind.” He turns on his heel and huffs down the hall, Miracle trotting after him, the tags on her collar clinking together jauntily.
Dean reaches past Cas to turn the burner off, then lands his hand on Cas’ hip. “Have I told you today how cute you are in that sweater?”
“Yes.” Cas brings his hands up to cradle Dean’s face. “Four times.”
“Make it five.” Dean kisses him. He pulls Cas into a hug, pressing his face against Castiel’s shoulder. They sway into each other. After a warm moment, Dean says in a low voice, “The first family dinner in our house.”
Cas hums a soft, contented sound in agreement. “The first of many,” he responds, just as quiet. Dean squeezes him tighter. He knows they’re both thinking about Jack and Claire, their bedrooms sitting empty and waiting for whenever they can find the time to visit—and Kaia and Alex and Jody with Claire, if they can, and Charlie and her girlfriend, and Bobby, and all the other wayward extensions of their sprawling family caught out in the wind. Their house isn’t big enough to host everyone, but with Sam and Eileen up the block and the bunker just a few miles out, there’s plenty of room to put up people who come out their way. Dean has the hope that 3767 Cornelia Street becomes a common pitstop for folks—a suburban Roadhouse, a tidier (much tidier) Singer Salvage.
Dean presses a kiss against Cas’ neck, and Cas breathes a sweet little sigh that pushes all thoughts about future dinners right out the window. Fuck, this dinner could go out the window, for all he cares. He kisses a little higher up, right under Cas’ jawline, before pulling back to catch Castiel’s darkened gaze. “How ‘bout we ditch the nag and go have a private party of our own?”
“Dean, no. I worked really hard on that salad.” He sounds perfectly serious, but the playful glint in his eye gives him away. Dean snorts, mumbling oh, forgive me, Chef Cas as he leans in again.
Just as they kiss, Sam walks back in. “Hey, I think something’s wrong with your sink–- oh, sorry.”
“Huh?” Dean reluctantly pulls away as Sam clears his throat, looking sheepish. “What’s wrong with what, Sammy?”
“Uh, with your bathroom.”
“The bathroom? Oh, what, you clogged the toilet?”
“Wha— N—  I DID NOT SHIT IN YOUR BATHROOM.”
“Then how did the toilet get messed up?”
“It’s the SINK, the SINK—”
“You took a shit in the sink?”
Cas pinches the bridge of his nose. “Dean…”
“What? He started it.”
“Started WHAT?”
Dean snaps his fingers. “The end of the world.”
“Oh! My god!”
“I guess technically, yeah, since god is our kid...” He turns to Cas. “Weird, weird lives we lead.”
Cas just shakes his head, clearly exasperated. Sam has given up on speaking completely and has fallen back on making a gesture like he’s one second away from grabbing Dean by the throat.
“I was there for all twelve years of it,” Sam says to Cas, “and I still can’t believe you stayed with this guy.”
“Well,” Cas muses serenely, “you’ve been here a lot longer than me.”
Sam grimaces when Dean throws him his best shit-eating grin. Nothing like his two favorite people bonding over how much of a pain he is.
The sound of the front door opening distracts them, and then a voice calls, “Knock knock! The life of the party has arrived!”
“Eileen!” Sam exclaims happily. Miracle takes off down the hall, Sam hot on her heels.
Dean chuckles at Sam’s unabashed excitement, then gives Castiel another peck on the cheek before moving away from him. “Can you put everything out on the table? I’ll go check out the bathroom sitch real quick.”
Cas catches his hand as he starts to leave, softly saying his name. When Dean looks back at him, Cas smiles and says, “I love you.”
Dean wonders if maybe three time’s the charm and he should just give in to what his body wants him to do. If a man has a right to stand around and cry messily anywhere in his own home, surely the kitchen would be the place to do it. The kitchen, after all, is the heart of any house.
But Dean doesn’t. He indulges in a little sniffle, Cas’ eyes glimmering with knowing in the soft light. Dean brings Cas’ hand to his mouth and kisses the neat gold band around his finger, and he kisses each peaked knuckle, and he turns Cas’ hand over and kisses his palm and his wrist. Then he lets go and puts his own hand against Cas’ cheek, and says his recklessly sappy thing: “I love you, too, sweetheart.”
And the glowing feeling inside him doesn’t settle, only grows brighter.
Whatever’s wrong with the sink will be just one more thing to a long list of shit to deal with. Their house needs work, no denying. But Dean knows they’ve got plenty of time.

Do You Hear Something? (Sanders Sides Wings AU)
O-ho! Here we go!
             Summary: Virgil and Logan discover Roman loves being tickled and use this knowledge to destroy him after an awkward, low-self-esteem day for the prince. (Warning: Tickle fic) (some Logicality and hints of Prinxiety)
           Why? Why did he have such a weakness? Such an embarrassing, humiliating, shameful weakness?! Roman sighed as he fell back onto his bed. Fantasies were running through his mind faster than his heartbeat.
             The whole ordeal with discovering Virgil’s wings had left the prince yearning for something he knew he would never be brave enough to ask for. Watching the resident emo laugh hysterically, Roman had felt jealous of how happy and free he looked. Now that he thought of it, Roman hadn’t openly laughed for a long time. Whenever he laughed, it felt forced to him, but it was some part of him he couldn’t stop. He had to put on a show for the other three! Joining in and laughing even when he didn’t feel happy, just to keep everything afloat. Not that he could sink anything if he sunk alone…
             He knew he wasn’t worth the others’ time in that sense. They had already been so patient with him, he felt it would be dishonorable to ask anything more of them. He never let this show… however, the face he always put on was hurting him more and more.
             “It’s such a silly game…” He whined under his breath, more fantasies teasing his mind for what he knew he couldn’t have. “Why can’t I just get up and ask them to tickle me?” Just saying it out loud made Roman flinch as his face heated up.
             He could just imagine someone ghosting their fingers over his sides or his ears… scratching their nails into his belly or his feet- He flinched again at that thought. His feet were always such a weak point. Thank god only his brother knew, but at the same time… only his brother knew…
             “Hrrr… why am I so confused?” He growled.
             As he plucked a sleek amber feather from his wings, Roman decided to go into full daydream mode, making his imaginations into images in front of him. He used the feather to swirl them around, and change them up. Little did he know that he had forgotten to lock his door, and that a little someone was peeking in at all those images being created to Roman’s liking, the prince even giggling anxiously at a few relating to his feet.
             The spy smirked, and slinked away.
             “Hey kiddos! Guess what time it is!” Patton shouted happily as soon as everyone had finished their dinner.
             “It is 6:30, what are you impl-”
             “It’s cookie time!” Patton cheered, interrupting Logan.
             “Oh. Of course. Another use of nonsense-o-clock terminology.” Logan rolled his eyes, annoyed.
             “Oh, Logan don’t be like that!” Roman crossed his arms with a smirk.
             It dug into him… even more this time. That smartass smirk that he knew didn’t belong on his face, but there it was. Him smirking at Logan for… really no reason.
 “Yeah! I made a special cookie for you!” Patton brought out the plate with an array of different cookies on it, a very different-looking cookie on top of the pile.
             “Please don’t tell me it’s an unhealthy snack…” Logan massaged his temples.
             “It’s a cookie, Logan. What do you expect?” Virgil stretched out his wings as he nibbled on one of the snickerdoodles.
             “Fine. If it’ll make Patton happy, then I guess I’ll to listen to the heart…” Logan mumbled, slightly flushing at his own sentence.
             “Here you go Logan!” Patton handed a thick, pale dough cookie to the logical trait.
             After shrugging and taking a bite, Logan’s eyes widened. His black wings, which had been tucked firmly to his back suddenly fell limp.
             “Is- is there C-C-C-Crofters in this cookie??” He exclaimed, taking another bite.
             “Of course! Got the last can of it from the pantry!” Patton smiled.
             “Wait. Aren’t there spiders down there this time of year?” Logan raised an eyebrow at the light blue trait.
             “Y-yep!” Patton’s voice cracked. “I’ve decided I’m going to do something special for each of you this week! I already know Logan likes Crofters, so I started with him! I think it was fun to bake his present since Logan’s such a smart cookie!”
             Logan’s used his wings to cover his face, which was no doubt turning red from both embarrassment and fury at the pun.
             “Let me know what I can do for you kiddos sometime soon so I can give each of you something!” Patton’s wings started folding in and out with pride and his smile grew as his whole body started glowing with happiness.
             Virgil gave a genuine smile, knowing this was Patton’s way of coping with receiving things. He’d give his gifts first, making it easier for him to receive his gifts afterwards.
             “Well-” Roman stopped himself. What was he thinking? Of COURSE, he couldn’t ask for that! The experience he just saw had softened him up. Making him even consider telling the others how badly he wanted to laugh and admit everything he’d been through behind his door. But, realizing how vulnerable that would make him, he backed out. His head dropped slightly, and Roman started hoping his blush wasn’t that easy to see.
             “Oooooo, what is it Princey?” Virgil growled with a concerning amount of sarcasm. “What do you want to happen?”
             The whole table was staring at him now.
             “N-nothing! I just realized Patton has already given me puppies!” The prince’s voice squeaked as he could feel the color draining from his cheeks. His smile became nervous but still ever frozen on his face. If it wasn’t obvious that Roman was hiding something before, welp it sure was now.
             “Wait, if I recall correctly… YOU gave PATTON puppies.” Logan pointed a finger suspiciously.
             Roman giggled nervously as each of the sides looked confusedly at him… except Virgil for some reason.
             “Ehehehe- I’m going to my room now!”
             And just like that, Roman was gone.
             “Well, that was concerning.” Logan placed his hands together.
             “He didn’t even have a cookie.” Patton mumbled sadly.
             “I got this.” Virgil suddenly got up and left, leaving the other two even more confused.
             “Virgil. Mind if I follow? I’ve had a theory for a while, and don’t want to see this opportunity to prove it go to waste.” Logan got up as well, finishing his cookie and quickly licking his fingers to Patton’s delight.
             Virgil nodded silently as both the anxious and logical trait left Patton to clean the dishes.
             “So humiliating! I don’t know if it would even work! But I want it so badly, it’s going to drive me nuts! They’ll think it’s something my brother gave me…” The muffled voice of the prince was heard from the other side of his door.
             “I don’t understand… what could be a desire so vile that he would hide it from us?” Logan thought out loud. “I thought we were over all of that.”
             “Ehehehe…” Virgil chuckled darkly before whispering into Logan’s ear, formulating a plan to both help and wreck their prince.
             …
             “Hrrr…” Roman growled into his hands, still overtaken by his lee mood. It hadn’t gone away all day. He had been able to hide it for the most part, like everything else, but it was also eating at him, like everything else.
             He heard his door creak open and looked up to see Logan and Virgil walking toward his bed, Logan taking to the left side, and Virgil taking to the right side of his bed.
             On the fake smile went.
             “Hello, sub-astute teacher, and raider of the lost snark. ~” He mused, but the other two didn’t react.
             “Before we start… just say ‘stop’ and we will.” Virgil grew a grinch-like smile and grabbed one of Roman’s ankles.
             “Yes. A sufficient safe word. However, if you enjoy this session of bonding, you will not use it.” Logan, despite his efforts, also smiled as he grabbed Roman’s other foot.
             No… Roman’s thoughts began to wander. No, it couldn’t be. They didn’t know… did they? How?
             His fears/hopes were proven true when Logan and Virgil began wiggling the fingers of their free hands, and ascending them down to his soles. A wobbly -yet REAL- smile made its way to Roman’s face and his legs started shaking with anticipation as the fingers were paused now centimeters away from his feet.
             “So, how’s your day been, Logan?” Virgil started nonchalantly.
             “Quite alright and fulfilling, though slightly stressful as usual. After Thomas slept in and made a lazy day for himself, I’d assume your day has been good?” Logan added, their smiles fading as if they were having an actual serious conversation with a shaking, ticking time bomb of laughter underneath them.
             “Ohohohoho gohohohod…” Roman let a few giggles lose, to see Virgil break character and smile slightly, but played it off like it wasn’t a big deal.
             They weren’t even touching him yet and he was already breaking!
             “I suppose so… I never actually feel like a day is a good one. I just think of it as ‘not bad,’ ya know?” Virgil raised an eyebrow at the squeaking prince.
             After talking for some more time, silent pleas escaping the more-red-than-usual trait’s lips, the fingers finally made contact.
             Both Virgil and Logan had to use their legs to stop Roman from yanking them back as wild cackles exploded from him.
             “OHOHOHOH NOHOHOHOHO! WAHAHAHAHAIT! EEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEE!” The prince thrashed either which way, but the two tormentors were stronger than he anticipated. He was also WAY more ticklish than he anticipated! It was unbearable! It was unexplainable! An it was… AMAZING. His chest felt light with laughter as he was overcome by an odd sense of safety, despite him having no control over his torment.
             “I suppose that would be an accurate way to look at it.” Logan offered to add to the conversation that Roman would’ve actually found interesting if he could hear it over his own shrieks and screeches. The two switched from spidering in one place to raking up and down his whole foot, which was even worse/better!
             His brain started to overload with happiness as all he could do was just sit there and laugh, still trying to avoid the word ‘stop.’
             “AAHAHAHAHAHA!! G-GUGUGUGUYS!!” He desperately called as his right arm started to pound his bed sheets.
           “Hey Lo, you hear something?” Virgil teased maliciously as Logan gave him a look of confusion.
             “Huh? I don’t hear anything.” He responded calmly, moving his fingers up to Roman’s toes.
            “NAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! AEEEEE!! PL-PLEHEHEHEHEASE!” Roman’s voice grew hoarse and tears filled his eyes as Virgil also moved to that spot.
             His whole body felt like it was burning up and since he was pretty sure he would go insane if the tickling continued, he called out the safe word.
             “MAHAHAHAHKE IHIHIT STOHOHOHOHOHOHP!!!!” The fingers at his toes immediately halted and the other two got off his legs.
             “Hope you feel better now Princey.” Virgil smirked and held back laughter as Roman stared at both of them, dazed, still giggling like mad as he attempted to rub away the tingling on his feet.
             “H-hohohow… hohow did yohohohou knohow?” He asked bashfully.
             “You know, you really ought to lock your door sometimes.” Virgil almost snorted as Roman turned fire-engine red with realization.
             “But don’t worry. I’ll tell Patton for you, but then you REALLY ought to lock your door unless you’ll suffer from cardiac arrest.” Virgil winked and left leaving Logan to wish Roman well before he, too left.
             For a while, Roman thought that he had just dreamed up the scenario, until Patton barged into his room the next day, wiggling his wingers with an evil smile.
             Roman learned to lock his door, unless he was feeling lonely…

reaction post typed while watching SPN 13x16 Scoobynatural
my mood after watching this: SCOOBY DOOBY DOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
03:33pm
HI FRIENDS
so full disclosure, i’m not feeling good at all and my hair is falling out!!! more than usual!!! so I’M REALLY HOPING THIS EPISODE MAKES ME FEEL BETTER
best case scenario, dean’s in the middle of a fred/daphne/cas lovefest, but frankly i’m more expecting a one-sided daphne-dean thing?? i think cas is probably just in this for the sake of having him there too but PLEASE GIVE HIM SOMETHING USEFUL TO DO pleeeease. i also figure dean ends up with the ascot because daphne gives it to him, not fred, but I AM WILLING TO BE SURPRISED
i’m not expecting actual proper bi dean and/or destiel, for the record. as fun and delightful as that would be. i’m just here to have a woofing good time
last night i watched “Scooby Doo! Shaggy’s Showdown” and it was GREAT and i thoroughly enjoyed it and I REALLY HOPE THIS EPISODE IS AS GOOD AS THAT WAS
as in, give me diverse background characters (i mean, if they can’t be be main characters), daphne actually having depth to her character beyond vanity, velma being 10/10 relatable and being genuine besties with daphne, fred being a useless lovable dork, shaggy being THE ABSOLUTE BEST & TOTALLY A ROLE MODEL, scooby being literally the coolest sweetest dog ever
BRING FORTH THE CARTOON ANTICS
-
03:45

-
03:50
dean: “TAKE IT EASY, SHE’S DELICATE”
love how dean makes every inanimate thing he cares about into a ‘she’
is this him sexualising random pieces of equipment; finding the thing impressive and therefore giving it the pronoun of the people who most inspire him; or is it a parenting instinct buried deep down that just happens to have a gender bias??
WILL WE EVER KNOW
from dean’s soft “shh” though i imagine it’s a parenting thing
precious tv needs to be loved and cared for like a baby
(i mean......... Baby is his car. definitely a parenting thing. BUT THEN ALSO HIS CAR IS SEXY???? CONCLUSION: DEAN HAS MOTHER/PARTNER/INTIMACY ISSUES)
-
03:56
dean: “be like elsa, let it go”
this boy has so many repressed childhood issues i don’t know where to start
HIS INNER CHILD NEEDS HELP
oh man i think i just realised what his growth this episode is gonna be. CONNECT TO THE DESPERATE INNER CHILD

-
06:11
dean: “cas is kinda like a talking dog”
unsure whether to be offended on cas’ behalf or not
because on the one hand, RUDE
but on the other hand, the talking dog is the title character, the coolest one, the most beloved, and the most impressive of all
so
i suppose that was a compliment???
-
04:13
me: *SQUISHES MY CHEEKS* THIS IS SO CUTE AND SO WHOLESOME I LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!!!!!

sinners like us (saeran x reader, part III)
summary:  For days there's been a boy in the hospital room next door who won't stop screaming. And, against your better judgement, you decide to find out who exactly this guy is.
rating:  13+ (707 route + secret end 02 + tiny itty bitty bit of v route spoilers)
notes: argh. finally updating this one after a while too.
 so, uh, v route guys, LOL. i finished it a few days ago and what a trip that was. and what a blessing ray is. and a curse. how to write saeran now? well, in the case of this fic, it follows the secret ends so it'll have to follow that line of his character (or i try to at least ahaha). but traces of ray will appear! like in this chapter! the garden thing was already planned so i was pleased to find ray likes flowers! works out for me here! /shot
anyway, this chapter was hard to write for other reasons. i'm still not completely satisfied with it, but alas. i still hope that you guys enjoy. 
chapter one | chapter two | chapter three
“Sooo… you know the screamer next door…?”
Your best friend, Eunju, gives you an inquisitive, yet suspicious look. “...what about him?”
“I… met him.”
Her jaw slackens and you can tell that she’s got about a hundred questions to ask you. After a minute, she finally settles on one. “You… what?!”
You nod, “Yeah, he’s… not so bad once he’s calmed down.”
“That’s still dangerous! You could have-” She begins to reprimand you, but then midway through she realizes something else. “Wait, did you sneak around at night to see him? You know you’re not supposed to do that!”
“Ehehehe….”
Eunju merely gives you a deadpan stare. You know that you’re not supposed to wander the hospital at night, but some nights you get bored and just can’t help it.
“Initially… I just wanted to see what he looked like,” you admit. “But… something about him seemed so sad… And I couldn’t just leave him alone.”
“Hm… is that so?”
You nod.
“Then… was it like love at first sight?” she asks in a teasing tone.
“Wh-what? No!” you answer, sputtering. You didn’t think she would actually ask something like that.
However, Eunju ignores you and places a hand to her chest in exaggerated relief. “I’m so glad… I didn’t think you would ever find anyone!”
“Hey now…” you give her a playful frown. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Her only response is a soft, sad smile. 
“...do you ever leave this room?”
Saeran shoots you a glare as if to tell you that you’re asking a stupid question.
However, you just shake it off with a nervous laugh. “Ah, well… I guess what I really should be asking is… ‘do you want to leave this room?’”
He cocks an eyebrow. This question has definitely piqued his interest. “Are you saying you can help me leave this place?”
“This room,” you emphasize. “I can’t really get you out of the hospital.”
Saeran goes back to looking annoyed. “Then what good is leaving this room?”
“I think that going out and getting fresh air every now and then is good for your health,” you answer plainly, messing around with some of the folding paper you’ve brought with you.
“It’s too troublesome and a waste of time.” It’s obvious that Saeran doesn’t believe you. Though, you’re not surprised in the slightest. He’s so pale that you doubt he goes out at all.
“Well then,” you toss the finished crane in a small jar you’d brought to store the ones you’ve made and stand up. “I was going to ask if you wanted to go with me on a walk, but since you think it’s troublesome, I guess I’ll go on my own.”
Ignoring the bewildered look on Saeran’s face, you make your way to the door. Slowly, you open it and peek outside, making sure the coast is clear before slipping out. You quietly walk down the darkened hallway until you reach the corner leading to the main hallway. Since it’s so late, the main hallway is devoid of anyone, but you wait just in case.
A moment later, something brushes up against your hand, causing you to jump. You whirl around to find Saeran standing there, a disgruntled look on his face. Surprised to see that he actually followed you, you whisper, “What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you want to go on a walk?” he answers in a petulant voice.
“I did!” you smile at him, but he just looks away with a complicated look on his face.
“Well, hurry it up then.”
You turn back and check the main hall once more. When you confirm that it’s clear you signal to Saeran before slipping through the halls. Of course, you’re used to sneaking around the hospital, but you’re surprised that Saeran manages match you in stealthiness. Eventually, you lead him to a set of glass doors that lead outside. You test it to make sure it’s unlocked before pushing it open. For a moment, moonlight fills the hallway as you and Saeran steal outside.
You take a deep breath, enjoying the feel of the cool night air. “We’re here.”
Saeran looks around, clearly confused. “A… garden?”
You nod, “That’s right. This hospital has a therapeutic garden. Your room is on the other side of the building so you can’t see it from outside your window.”
Saeran doesn’t respond, but you watch as he looks around the garden with an unreadable expression. He doesn’t really seem like the type to like this kind of place, so you’re relieved to find that he doesn’t appear to hate it. Tentatively, you approach him and reach out your hand to grab his. He flinches at your touch but doesn’t pull away.
“Come on, let’s walk,” you say, urging him on. “This place has a security guard too. They’ll find us if we linger in one spot too long.”
Somewhat begrudgingly, Saeran follows as you lead him down the closest path. All sorts of different plants and decorative structures line the walkway which juts off in different directions every so often. You know that there’s vegetable garden as well as a few sections where patients are allowed to water and tend to plants so you figure that’s where those sections lead. In the distance you can hear the sound of running water, probably from the fountain that serves as the center of the entire garden.
A bunch of flowers a little ways off of the path catch your eye and you move toward them to get a better look. You murmur quietly to yourself, “These are pretty…”
“They’re primroses.”
Your eyes widen and you turn to Saeran. He’s not looking at you, but at the flowers with a strange look on his face. The last thing you expected was for him to know the name of a plant, much less a flower.
“Do you...” you ask slowly, “...know what they mean?”
He finally turns his attention to you. “Why would I know something dumb like that?”
Something about the way his face is twisted in irritation makes you think that he might be lying. “Saeran… do you happen to like flowers?”
“Flowers are useless.”
“...maybe, but they are pretty.”
You sense Saeran shift a little closer and you think that he’s trying to get a better look at the flowers, but then you feel his breath tickling your ears. In a low tone, he whispers, “So what was your real reason for bringing me here?”
“I-I told you!” you whirl around so you’re face to face. “It’s good to get fresh air every now and then…”
His eyes search yours, trying to see if you’re hiding some kind of ulterior motive.
“And.. to be honest, I come here sometimes…” you admit quietly. “I think it’s calming… and I thought you might… "
Saeran doesn’t say anything and you become acutely aware of how close your faces happen to be to one another. You gulp a little, feeling your heart rate increase a tiny bit. His eyes flit away from you, for a second, and he yanks you into the shadow of a nearby tree. Before you can ask what he’s doing he covers your mouth with his hand.
“Shut up,” he hisses quietly, moving his hand away from your mouth.
You nod and look in the direction he had looked earlier. The sound of footsteps reaches your ears and you see the guard walk by where you just were. Luckily, he doesn’t seem to suspect that you or Saeran are here and continues on his way. Once he’s gone you let out a sigh of relief.
“I guess we should take that as our cue to leave, right?” you say.
Saeran doesn’t answer, but you figure it probably is. You pull at his hands, and quietly lead him back to the garden’s entrance.

All I Ask of You
Chapter 1/12
Hannibal x Will Graham, other characters
Summary:  It was a day like any other at the Opera Populair, but little did they know, that this would be the day when everything changes.
Warnings: none that I can think of right now. (btw, Margot and Mason are till siblings in this fic nothing more)
Notes: This is my first fanfic ever. It is a Phantom of the Opera au. It’ll be pretty close to the 2004 movie up until the 4th chapter, and then it’ll change. Hope you enjoy!
On AO3   Masterlist
Shit, shit, shit, shit! Will thought as he and Beverly got ready for rehearsals that morning. They had stayed up late last night and ended up sleeping in. As soon as they got their ballet shoes on, they dashed out of the dormitory and made their way down the spiral staircase. Thankfully they got there in time to finish the warm up. Madame Du Maurier did not look pleased as she saw the two of them, but didn’t say anything because rehearsal was starting.
Everyone got into their places and waited for Mason to come on stage carrying a head to start the scene.
♪This trophy, from our saviours, from our saviours, from the enslaving force of Rome!♪ And so begins the day.
♪With feasting and dancing and song, tonight in celebration. We greet the victorious throng, returned to bring salvation.♪ Women walk down the stage, hitting their chests in time.
♪The trumpet of Carthage resound. Hear Romans now, and tremble! Hark to the step on the ground, hear the drums, Hannibal comes!!!♪ (ehehehe)
Margot comes in on cue. ♪Sad to return to find the land we love, threatened once more by Roma’s far reaching grasp.♪
Will sighs as Chilton taps his baton on his stand. Ugh why can’t Margot just say Rome instead of Roma? It’s not that bloody hard to do!
“No! No, no, no!” Chilton says to Margot.
♪Sad to find the land we love, threatened once more by ROME’s far reaching grasp.♪ Margot continues singing and putting an emphasis on Rome to sate Chilton’s perfectionism.
“Rehearsals, as you can see are underway for a new production for Chalumeau’s Hannibal.” Will turns to see Monsieur Crawford come onstage with two men trailing behind him.
“Monsieur Crawford, I am rehearsing!” Cries Chilton.
“Monsieur Chilton, Madame Du Maurier, ladies and gentlemen, uh, please, if I can have your attention. Thank you. As you know, for some weeks,  there have been rumors of my imminent retirement. I can now tell you that these are all true.”
Merde. Will thinks. Now i owe Beverly 15 Francs.
“Uh, it’s my pleasure to introduce you to the two gentlemen who now own the Opera Populair. Monsieur Price and Monsieur Zeller.”
“And we are deeply honored to introduce our new patron, the Vicomtesse, Alana Bloom.” Monsieur Price states, obviously very proud of himself.
Fuck. It can’t be. Oh but it is. Wow she’s even more beautiful. Will realizes. “It’s Alana.” He says, turning to Beverly. “Before my father died, we would play together on the beach at the house by the sea. I guess you could say we were best friends.”
“Well, she is absolutely gorgeous!” Beverly gushes.
“My parents are honored to support all the arts. Especially the world renowned, Opera Populair.” She declared.
Crawford then introduces her to Mason and Margot. Mason, of course puts on the charm though the entire cast can see right through it. Afterwards, Alana politely excused herself and exited stage right. Will looks sadly at the floor as Alana passes him.
“She wouldn’t recognize me,” Will says dully.
“She didn’t see you.” Beverly tells him soothingly.
Instead of answering, Will moves to get into position as the ballet portion of the scene starts.
“We take particular pride in the excellence of our ballet, monsieurs.” Madame De Maurier informs her new employers.
“I see why,” Zeller says, “especially that black haired beauty.”
“My niece, Beverly Katz.” Du Maurier says, heavenly hinting to Zeller to stay away from Beverly.
“And that exceptionally handsome young fellow, no relation, I trust.” Price states.
“William Graham. Promising talent, Monsieur Crawford. Very promising.”
“Graham, you say, no relation to the famous inventor?” Price inquires.
“His only child. Orphaned at seven, when he came to live and train in the ballet dormitories.”
“An orphan, you say?”
“I think of him as family as well.” Du Maurier informs Zeller and Price, hinting at the act that he was off limits as well.
♪The trumpeting elephant sounds, hear Romans now, and tremble! Hark to the step on the ground, hear the drums, Hannibal comes!♪ The chorus finishes.
“All day! And all they want is the dancing.” Mason moans to everyone, though no one pays him any mind.
“The vicomtesse is very excited about tonight’s gala.” Mason turns, overhearing Crawford talking to Zeller and Price.
“Oh ho ho ho ho. I hope, she is as excited about dancing girls as your new managers. Because I WILL NOT BE SINGING!” Mason screams, startling everyone. He then stalks off yelling about how the opera house will close down without him there, as well as a bunch of stuff but since this happens every few weeks, no one is really worried.
“Wh-what do we do?” Zeller asks Crawford. He never thought this would happen on the first day.
Crawford looks at them exasperatedly. “Grovel. Grovel. Grovel.” They then rush over to where Mason is still having a tantrum, to try and appeal to his already huge ego by trying to convince him to give a private performance of the aria for his character in the musical.
Will rolls his eyes as Mason once more comes back and yells at everyone to be quiet as he sings the aria.
♪Think of me, think of me fondly when we’ve said goodbye. Remember me, once in awhile please promise me you’ll try. When you find, that once again you long to take you heart back and be free-♪ Then all of a sudden, one of the background set curtains fall onto Mason causing everyone to cry out in alarm.
“He’s here, the Phantom of the Opera,” Beverly says to Will.
“Senior, are you alright? For God’s sake Gideon, what the hell is going on up there?!” Crawford yells up to the stagehand.
“Please Monsieur, don’t look at me. As God’s my judge, I wasn’t at my post. Please monsieur, there’s no one there. Or if there is, well then, it must be a ghost!” Gideon laughs creepily.
Zeller turns to Mason, secretly trying not to laugh at the situation. “Senior, these things do happen.”
“For the past three years these things do happen? And did you stop them from happening? No!” Mason yells, infuriated. “And you two,” pointing to Zeller and Price, “You’re as bad as him. ‘These things do happen’? Until you stop these things from happening, THIS THING DOES NOT HAPPEN!” He turns on his heel and stalks off the stage, with Margot following him reluctantly.
“Gentlemen, good luck. If you need me, I shall be in Australia.” Crawford informs the two new owners as he leaves.
Madame Du Maurier walks up to her employers holding a letter that has the wax seal of a stag’s head keeping it closed. “I have a message sir, from the opera ghost.”
“Oh God in heaven, you’re all obsessed.” Price exclaims.
“He welcomes you to his opera house-”
“HIS opera house?”
“And commands that you continue to leave box five empty for his use. And reminds you that his salary is due.”
“His salary?!”
“What? Monsieur Crawford used to give him 20,000 francs a month.” Du Maurier says smugly.
“20,000 FRANCS?!” Price shouts.
“Perhaps you can afford more. With the vicomtesse as your patron.”
“Madame, I had hoped to announce that public tonight, when the vicomtesse was to join us for the gala. But obviously, we shall now have to cancel! As it appears, we have lost our star! A full house, Zeller, we shall have to refund a full house!” Price proclaims, he starts doing the math of all the money they will lose in this.
Zeller and Price turn to Maestro Chilton asking if there’s an understudy, but they are at a loss until, “William Graham can sing it, sir.”
“A chorus boy? Very silly.” Zeller scoffs.
“He’s been taking lessons from a great teacher,” Du Maurier boasts, “Let him sing for you, monsieurs. He has been well taught.”
Will is freaking out. He never actually believed he’d get this opportunity. He’s not ready, but then, he doesn’t think he’d ever be ready for something like this. So he does the only thing he can do. He starts to sing.
Hope you guys enjoyed it! Please let me know what you think!

Love Sick by Flowez - Summary and Chapter One
RR: Hey, hey! Good morning, evening, and afternoon! Welcome to Love Sick, kiddos, written by the lovely Flowez! They’ve got a few works up, and a… prologue… to this, but the prologue is unnecessary and one chapter long. It’s - look, I’m gonna be honest, this fic is a guilty pleasure. It’s not quite… My Immortal or It’s My Life! bad, but… Don’t get your hopes too high. I only enjoy reading this because it makes me laugh off my hope in humanity.
RR: Anyhow~!  Joining me for this, and hopefully regularly, is the ever- lovely AK.
AK: Hey there! I’m gonna be honest, this fanfic got me thinking deeply… on lots and lots of things… mainly asking myself how Flowez could keep writing it, some things just aren’t meant to be! Not saying my writing is anything spectacular, but… sometimes you read this and you wonder. Anyway, have fun! If you can.
Summary
Despair, that's the only thing they could feel. Timeline after timeline, they had to watch as Sans and Toriel got together. They always forgot about her. They didn't care that Frisk was madly in love with Sans. Though, the human was tired of it. They wanted everyone to know how they felt. They wanted everyone to see the pain they were in. Frisk wanted to claim Sans as their own.
Frisk hated being ignored.
She was going to make sure she got attention.
RR: And in the worst way possible. GAH. Be prepared for 1NS4N17Y and badfic. So much badfic. Then again, this wouldn’t be here if it weren’t bad. Still.
AK: This is already so messed up. I mean, I thought ‘they’ are Frisk? But then the author introduces that Frisk was madly in love with Sans?! My head hurts already. And now Frisk is a she. *sighs*
RR: Also, friendly warning: there’s gonna be pedophilliac undertones later. Lots of swearing, probably from us.
AK: So hide your kids and pop your popcorn, keep it sealed, this is gonna be a bumpy ride!
   The beginning
Timeline after timeline, you were forced to watch as Sans left you. He never even gave you a chance. Every timeline he had chased after Toriel. Your mother! you watch with hate in your heart as the two kissed, like they did everytime they saw each other.
RR: Every time is two words. Why would an adult give a small child a chance at dating. Why. And yes, your mother.
AK: He’s your father in this, child, cool it!
RR: Nah, that’s Asgore. Sans is just trying to be daddio.
AK: Well he fails miserably already
Their kissing had been getting more intense. Their relationship was getting stronger! You began hating your own mother.
AK: I had no idea that’s what relationships do.
RR: It’s almost like they’re going steady.
A small inhale of air was greatly needed. You began to calm down. There were a few people that actually attempted to make you feel better. Even if Toriel and Sans weren't considered friends, you still had many others. Even the king supported you! He missed having a family. He wanted Toriel back and he wanted you as his daughter. When he told you that, your heart pounded. It was a perfect image. A happy family.
RR: … why would your heart pound at the thought of being in a perfect family? With excitement? That doesn’t seem quite right… And honestly, child, have you tried being happy for those two??? Christ. You little brat.
If that were the case, you wouldn't want to murder your mother.
RR: … Our protagonist!
No matter what happened, though, the skeleton and the goat only seemed to get closer. There was only one time when Sans had broken it up with her. It was a month ago. Papyrus had told you that you deserved a happy ending with Sans.
AK: Papyrus?! What the hell is PAPYRUS doing telling you that?! NO. Not at all
RR: Papyrus is simply too innocent to understand pedophilia. He is, according to the tags, “a bean”.
A smile had graced you features.
AK: you, features, you have been graced with this slutty smile. Help.
RR: *snorts* Slutty. Too early for that, and it’s directed at Papyrus. She saves that for Sans, remember?
AK: Surprised she can keep it to herself for so long.
Papyrus was so nice and you were glad to have a friend like him.
He had went to talk to Sans and insisted that the two would never speak again if Sans continued to date Toriel. If was obvious, Sans was pissed at Papyrus. It was also obvious that Sans would do anything for Papyrus. So he broke up with her.
RR: Sans had a right to be pissed! Goddamn, the out of character is killing me… If anything, Papyrus would try and find the middle ground - he wants to be friends with everyone, and if push came to shove, he’d pick his brother. And the grammar here. ‘Had went’ would be better as ‘had gone’ or just ‘went’, ‘If was obvious, …’ should be ‘It was obvious that Sans…’,  and the last sentence could’ve just as easily been added to the previous with a comma. ‘... anything for Papyrus, so…’
They got back together the next week.
RR: Shame it didn’t end the fic.
"What a pitiful failure."
AK: This badfic is starting to make sense finally! Good job, Chara - I think.
RR: Who even knows if this is Chara.  For all we know, Frisk is hearing voices.
She had squirmed her way back into his heart. She told puns whenever she could. She made extra pie and even snuck ketchup into the recipe. She didn't even care that it had made you sick.
AK: Maybe you should try chloroform next. Also who the hell is who?! Tell me that!
RR: … Did - did Toriel even know you got sick? What out-of-character witch is this?! Goat-Mom would never!
After that night, you moved in with Asgore. He was really nice and always listened to your opinion. You started calling him dad and stopped calling Toriel mother.
AK: Such angst, at least give the goat mom a chance.
RR: What blasphemy do you speak of?! She stole Sans from Frisk!
She was still nice but it hurt your soul thinking about her and Sans.
You Loved him.
RR: Did you mean LOVEd?
The two were blind about it.
RR: Yeah, the thing about most parental figures - or those that would like to be parental figures - is that they tend to view affections as platonic because it’s otherwise inappropriate and should not be encouraged.
Everyone seen it but them!
AK: Everyone done did seen it but him! Isn’t that the way it always goes?
RR: *sniff, sniff* I smell cli~che.
Today, Sans called. Your breathing hitched as your heart began to beat at a fast pace. Sans was calling you!
AK: He’s calling to ask how he mysteriously got your number on his phone.
RR: “paps got me a phone, who’s this?”
It took you a few seconds to respond due to a lump forming in your throat.
"H-Hi, Sans! Watcha doing?" Fuck, you didn't want to sound so desperate! The sudden need to impress him formed. Stop being such a loser.
AK: Never have I thought saying the words “Hi, [name]! Whatcha Doing?” would sound desperate… then again this Frisk has some major social issues.
RR: Was… was it the stutter? AK, help me out here, why is that desperate? Did she yell it? I’m so confused.
AK: No, see, it was her actively trying to keep her clothing on while she said it.
RR: Oh my god. You’re terrible.
"Oh, this will be quite interesting." You ignored that small voice in the back of your head.
RR: Just a generic voice, probably hearing things. Seriously, are we supposed to know this is Chara at this point in time, or just think Frisk is bonkers?
Though, you couldn't. Every thought about Sans had always made your heart flutter within your small chest.
AK: Maybe that’s why he doesn’t like you, hmm? Eheheh
RR: … stop.
AK: Just getting into the same mindset of this character~
The skeleton chuckled over the phone. A smile formed on your face at the beautiful sound. He was happy.
RR: I never woulda guessed!
Why was he? You scream from within your mind as you thought of the possibility of Sans being happy to talk to you.
RR: He’s not. He’s happy you’re so far away that he has to call.
"Tibia honest, kiddo. I was calling to see if you want to go to Toriel's. She said she was starting to miss you and she doesn't understand why ya suddenly left to live with Asgore."
AK: HAH! Hah.. ha.. Ha, get it? He made a - haha pun.. Wow.. that was good...
RR: Would’ve worked better with Tibia-nest, because tibia already has the start of honest. And, patella the truth, you’re gonna get really sick of his puns. They aren’t that humerus. In fact, a few are downright inskullting. They’ll wear on your bones, fast. Especially since the lovely Flowez only uses tibia, patella, and a couple others. I don’t see why she couldn’t just include femur puns if she can’t think of so many - and it’s not like Sans has to pun. Just occasionally is good.
AK: The pun is an art form, when one comes to you, you pun, you do not think of them constantly.
You couldn't tell him the truth. What would he think? Surely, he would be furious if you talked about why you moved out.
RR: … why? Why would he be furious? There’s… what?
AK: *hands up, walks away from that* Nope.
Plus, you could feel the large amount of disappointment show on your face. Your lips had scrunched up together, eyes became droopy, and even your shoulders began to Sag.
AK: That is a real 2 year old pout right there, no wonder Sans thinks of you as a child of his!
RR: ohgodkillitwithfire.
He did not call for you, Toriel told him to call me.
RR: Oh. Is this first person now?
He would never call me like this, Frisk began to bite her fingernails.
RR: Th-third?!
AK: Sure has a lot of points of view, now why can’t it just have a point?
"I-I don't know if I can. I promised papa Asgore that we could do something today. We were probably going to go hiking." The lie sounded pretty good and it didn't even sound fake. You are a great liar.
AK: Okay, but how did she say it? Because that’s where all the magic comes from. Also what hiking trails?
RR: Good question! Also a question: why not just politely refuse? O-or… why is there an emphasis on Papa Asgore? (papa should be capitalized…) Is Frisk trying to rub in that Sans’ll never be her father-figure?
Sans took a deep breath, despite not having any lungs. Frisk took one also so that they could sound equally frustrated.
AK: If you don’t want people to ask questions about the skeleton, just play it off like it’s normal!
RR: Why do you want to sound frustrated. Third person again, so is the reader someone else? Help.
You could practically see him shaking his head through the phone.
"Well, Tori really wants to see you. Do you think you can reschedule?"
Anything for you Sans.
AK: Don’t trust that anything, Sans!
RR: Oh, no. Do. Just not what you ask them to do.
"Sure. Asgore will understand but I feel really bad. I promised the big guy one day and then I cancel."
You wanted Sans to think you were doing him a huge favor. You never had any real plans for the day but making him feel guilty would be the only way to make him show some compassion. You wanted Sans to show you at least something!
AK: … This section confuses me and makes my head hurt.
RR: Best I can translate, dear, is that Frisk is trying to guilt-trip Sans by lying. In doing so, they hope to attain some pity, which I guess is better than the genuine desire to hang out with you that he was expressing…?
RR: … Shit, I just confused myself.
You knew he was smiling based on his voice.
"Thanks, it means a skele-ton!"
RR: You’re not allowed to use that pun.
Click
He hung up already. There was no hesitation. He probably went to go tell Toriel that he convinced you to come over. Then, he would be awarded with a kiss.
RR: … Is - is Goat-Mom training Sans? Is that what’s happening?
AK: I think that’s called ‘normal affection’, dear. I take that back, nothing about this related to affection is normal, he’s totally training her.
It made you sick. Though, you were able to ignore the agony and moved on. You didn't want to worry Asgore. He was already going through enough with trying to make peace with the other humans. So, it would be the right thing to do.
AK: Must have been agonizing if it was so easily ignored. Aw, see she’s a good person - with morals and things!
RR: *shakes head* She’s an angsty brat, she’s had practice.
You scurried through the house. Asgore wasn't in his room, the bathroom, nor the living room. The only spot left to check was the kitchen and he was there.
AK: Surprised he didn’t just leave the fic, it’s what I would have done. Also try ‘there he was’ sounds much better.
RR: Also try a comma between kitchen and ‘and’. Just a thought.
He appeared to be cooking something. Whatever it was, it smelled absolutely delicious.
You walked in a little more so that he could spot you.
RR: … isn’t he looking at his food? Where is Frisk walking in from? Hell, what shape is the house? Where’s the description??? It’s not hard!
RR: You walked a little further into the cheery-looking kitchen, careful not to bump yourself on one of the outstretched counters. The slap of your feet on tile alerted Asgore to your presence. He turned slightly to see you, and the corners of his lips upturned in a smile.
AK: Wow, I want to just keep reading that over and over again just to get away from the next line.
"There you are! Howdy, Frisk!" His voice was cheerful as he stuck something into the oven.
At least someone was happy to see you.
AK: Oh yes, because you’re just such poor hated little thing with no old skeleton to - I am not even finishing that.
RR: I would have been forced to make you read something worse if you had.
"Hi, papa. Watcha making?"
RR: Apostrophe and ‘h’ missing from what’cha…
AK: Nah, English doesn’t matter when trying to communicate
"Just some dinner. It's going to take all day to make."
AK: What if you need the oven for breakfast or lunch? Use your large head would you?!
Good, that meant you could go see Sans. As long as you were back for dinner, Asgore would let you go see your favorite skeleton!
A bright shade of pink began to spread across your perfectly tanned face. You didn't quite mind. Your dad knew you liked Sans more than you should and he was a little flustered. He was confused by why everyone liked him so much. Though, in the end, he agreed the two of you made a good couple and he didn't say that only because he hated him and Toriel together. He meant it.
AK: A little flustered hmm? Just a little flustered that his daughter wants to get naughty with his wife’s boyfriend?! …and he agrees with it! Wow so much is wrong with this.
RR: … I can’t… It’s too early in the fic for me to be running out of wat. Seriously, does no one have any concept of age?! Sans is Toriel’s age, and Frisk is a child!  There’s not even the excuse of bullshit monster biology, children are canonically easily identifiable.
That's why you moved in. He understood you more than anyone. He knew exactly what you were going through.
AK: Why not just fall in love with him if he understands you so well, you angst ridden bitch!?
RR: Whoa, easy there. And I’m more pissed on Asgore’s behalf here. He lost his wife, but he can shove aside his upset at Sans. Et tu, Frisk?
"I'm going to go out for a bit. What time will dinner be ready?" You wished you didn't sound so innocent. Even if people thought you were,
RR: That is a perfectly normal question - what, should you ask about when you shall indulge in the feast of deadened flesh and rotting flora? I don’t get the connection.
You weren't a good person.
AK: Really?! I had no IDEA!!
RR: Shh, hon, shh. That aside… why the fuck is the comma in the previous paragraph, if this was clearly intended???
The thoughts that always swept your mind weren't normal. You were becoming obsessed with Sans and not in a good way.
RR: There’s… There’s a good way? idon’twanttoknow idon’twanttoknow
AK: Somebody find me that good way and write a decent fanfic on it.
"Alright, Frisk. Just make sure to be home before six!"
AK: “but daaad!! That’s no time to get to know anybody!!”
RR: “No, Frisk, the last time I let you do that, you were cat-fishing.”
You gave him a hug before running to leave the house. Your hand rested on the door handle before slamming it open and rushing out but you didn't make it very far.
AK: I need to learn how to slam a door open, that’s some neat stuff. Nothing like showing angst than slamming a door twice.
Smack
RR: Please tell me someone hit her.
You fell to the ground. You banged into something. What the fuck was it!? You peeked one eye open and looked up at the wall that stopped you.
AK: You banged into something? And it wasn’t Sans?! Wow.
RR: *snorts* I’m not sure we’re much better than the fic on the maturity front.
Your breathing stopped.
AK: Not for long enough, though. Sadly.
RR: Quick, Sans, you can still save yourself!
Sans.
AK: Oh wait my amazement short circuited, it was Sans, of course.
He chuckled at your clumsiness for a few seconds before extending his hand out towards you. Deja Vu. It was awkward that you counted how many times you had accepted his hand. A total of fourteen times. Each time felt better than the last.
AK: Sans, don’t be an asshole, she was coming out of the door and couldn’t see you. Yeah but that hand acceptance was a handshake… there’s a difference.
RR: We both know Frisk gets off to any kind of touch involving Sans. I doubt there’s a difference… Also, keep this in mind. I’m gonna yell a little bit later on.
So, when his boney hands touched the skin of your hand, you couldn't help but to smile and look up at him.
AK: I guess differences don’t matter when related to being turned on.
RR: Fetishes.
He tugged on you and pulled you up to your feet. You could see him clearly he was beautiful, like always.
AK: I think you mean handsome, unless he’s in his ballroom gown.
RR: Eh, no, beautiful was an older term to describe an attractive male. Not sure why Frisk is using it, but sure… Not the weirdest thing in this fic.
AK: you mean to say that Frisk is older than she acts?!
RR: The story would be thusly improved by Frisk being possibly legal, then worsened by how Frisk acts. It doesn’t get better.
His smile was real and he looked genuinely happy.
"Too bad your selfishness is going to ruin that, right? You're so obsessed you don't care what happens, as long as you end up with Sans, you don't really care if he's unhappy."
AK: Okay, Chara? Who ruined you? The Author?
RR: That’s the voice in Frisk’s head! I don’t think it’s Chara.
AK: Right, not Chara in the least.
That's not true, was the only thing you could tell yourself to stop the guilt from forming.
Sans gave you a strange glance before asking you what was wrong. You shook your head in response. You didn't want to worry him.
RR: Real descriptive.
if you told him about Chara, he would hate you! It made you wonder if he remembered your genocide route. If he did remember the whole thing, you would have to take drastic measures.
AK: Drastic measures, hey?
RR: Pfeh. “Drastic measures” my ass.
"Wanna take a shortcut, kiddo?" You nodded again. No words were able to come to mind at the moment because you were to busy staring at him to think.
AK: too* … I know, staring at somebody takes up a lot of your brain capacity.
RR: You have to get your eyes to focus right, and then processing the image, and - well, it’s a lot of work for her singular brain cell.
You wanted him all to yourself. Though, he didn't even want you, at all. The only reason he talks to you is because of Toriel and Papyrus. If it wasn't for them he probably would have killed you because you're such a fuckin sadist and a dirty brother killer!
RR: Okay. Nice of you to say. Now show me. Show. Don’t. Tell. I know it’s a staple of bad writing, but come on! And where’s the proof that he only talks to you because of Goat-Mom and the Bean?! He didn’t seem to mind talking to you earlier! And! And! If he doesn’t remember timelines, why would he kill you?! Continuity, do you have it?!
That's right, that malicious voice in your head didn't force you to kill anyone. You had gotten so pissed and so bored that you reset and took everything out on your friends. Eventually, you learned to love pain and inflicting it on there. Your dirty, rotten, cold adventure turned you into a real monster.
AK: I think they would like you better if you were an actual monster. You might have a chance with Sans!
RR: If Frisk were an actual monster, they’d be so much more pleasant to deal with. Oh, by the way~ Mini-rant incoming~
RR: Remember how many times Frisk has shaken Sans’s hand? Fourteen. Fourteen times they’ve done it, and somewhere in the middle of that, they got bored. That’s - that’s just sad. Were all the runs perfect? Did Frisk not once die, not once reset and get shoved back to the last save point? Because that’s never explained. So I’m assuming… yes. I’m not going to try and defend this Frisk. They don’t deserve it - we have zero reason to sympathize with them. And the genocide? It’s all but canon that Chara helped with that, but in this? Oh, no, that was all Frisk. They wanted the LOVE and EXP. Because they were bored of their friends and life, and pissed that Sans had the audacity to pursue someone else. Just… God, I hate this Frisk.
AK: My Bitch’dar is going crazy right now. Anybody else throw away their popcorn and run to find a toilet already?
Though, it was wrong. You were trying to change. You hadn't hurt anyone this whole timeline. Thank goodness. If Sans found out you hurt someone, he wouldn't forgive you.
RR: … I feel sick. It must be so hard to not kill anyone. Nice to know that Sans is your only reason for not doing so. Not Papyrus or Asgore, both of whom you claim to love, oh no. Just Sans.
AK: True - pffheh - True love - hahaa *snrk* Conquers a- I can’t! *cracks up*
You would break down.
Scream.
Cry
Kill.
AK: So you’d identify the problem and make it worse instead of fixing it. I knew you were a smarty!
RR: *downhill whistle and mimics an explosion*
You couldn't let him hate you, he meant way too much. It made you feel like garbage. You were so obsessed with Sans that you were becoming out of control. Almost like an animal that still needed to be tamed.
AK: … I can’t. It hurts too much.
RR: Needed to be tamed implies that you fine once. Which I call bullshit. Going feral would be better. Also presented: completely healthy relationships!
Sans started to walk forward, holding your hand. A darker shade of red formed, he didn't notice it. It would be kinda embarrassing if he did take notice of it.
AK: How do you know what he notices and doesn’t notice?! Frisk is in Sans’s head! We’re all doomed!
RR: Shhh, Frisk is omnipotent.
He squeezed tighter as he rounded the corner of the humongous house.
RR: what house? We’re in a void
Bam.
AK: WHERE’S THE GUNSHOT?! AND THE CORPSE?!
RR: IS IT OVER?!
We were at Toriel's.
RR: Damn.
Sans's magic was amazing He was amazing. You smiled at his strength.
AK: Especially that whole one HP.
That was another reason why you loved him. Not only was he funny, kind, an amazing brother, and a good friend but he was also strong enough to kill if he had too. He was strong enough to punish you.
RR: NONONONO! GODNO! NOPE, UH-UH, NOTOKAY, NOPENOPENOPE! NOPUNISHMENTSABORTABORT
AK: Honey honey, shhhh! Don’t worry! It gets worse!
RR: *whimpers* I know.
"Wow, nice shortcut, chuckles." You mentally laughed at that perfect nickname.
AK: Chuckles. Like a child naming their first dog.
RR: Real creative there, kiddo.
You could see him trying to hold back a laugh but he failed. He chuckled a bit. Not a full blown laugh but it was something.
RR: … you called him Chuckles. That’s barely worth a snort in anyone with actual humor.
"That's what you're callin me these days, kid? That pretty humerus." A classic Sans moment. It was perfect.
AK: And we’re back with puns that aren’t even worthy of a ‘you tried’.
RR: *You failed.
His joke was so bad but knowing it came from him made it so much better. If it was made by someone else you would have found it pathetic. Though, him, nothing about him could ever be pathetic.
RR: Pointing out your own flaws doesn’t make them better.
"I guess. Unless, you want me to call you Mr. Boner!"
AK: OKAY. Where’s the trash bin?! I need to visit it because I have a big delivery!
RR: *laugh-sobs* It comes up again.
"Frisk,watch your language! " Despite it being a inappropriate joke, he still thought it was funny and once again laughed but it was louder this time. You weren't sure if it was the joke or the disbelief of what you just said. You found both funny and laughed with him.
AK: “Watch your language!” As he encourages that behavior. 10/10 father figure.
RR: Do as he says, not as he does? Who am I kidding, Frisk would rather have him do her. Also, should be ‘an inappropriate joke’. That lack of an ‘n’ is inappropriate.
AK: Once again, fuck English for being so damn rulediculous - I’m sorry I saw the opportunity.
"Thanks for dealing with me, Sans."
RR: He gets paid in Toriel.
He released your hand and looked at you right into the eyes.
"No problem, kid. Nothing can get under my skin."
AK: And I almost thought it would get serious for a moment there. *sigh*
Another pun. So, that meant he was in a good mood.
"You'll probably ruin it, though. Don't deny that either."
AK: Chara, your bullshit comments have no purpose, just admit that you’re a sad throwaway character and shut up.
RR: Shh, let them pretend. This is the best we’re getting out of this chapter, and all it is, is an unnamed voice.
AK: Fine.
Stupid voice, was the only thing you responded with. It didn't reply back.
Good.
AK: WHO THE DICKENS IS WHO?!
RR: I thought we stopped asking that?
AK: Well I’m still confused!
You didn't need it ruining your day. A day with Sans. Maybe, just maybe, Today would be the day you could get between Sans and Toriel. You hoped so. Watching them further their relationship made you want to gag.
RR: Haha. Ha. You’re so sweet.
Ugh.
You would sabotage them eventually.
RR: What the fuck is wrong with this child.
AK: Bet if she got a therapist, the therapist would suicide.
For now, you just wanted to enjoy Sansy's presence.
RR: Sansy. *war flashbacks*
Nothing would ruin Today. You would make sure of that. No matter what it took.
RR: Well, must be a special holiday if the ‘t’ is capitalized that.
RR: … Wait, was that supposed to be threatening?
In order for everything to go normally, you needed to act as if you happy for them. Don't let them find out the reason behind your sudden move in with Asgore that occurred two weeks ago.
Act sweet.
Be fake.
AK: Because that works
Make them think that you're still that good girl from the first few timelines. You could never act like that naturally but you were a good actor.
If you weren't becoming a goddamn yandere, everything would have been fine. Though, you kinda were.
AK: Well at least we know she can identify the problem, however, that is a huge understatement.
RR: I… I don’t understand that second sentence. Kinda were… what? And Frisk, sweetie… *points to my favorite yanderes* You’re not even a fuckin’ drop in the barrel .
AK: I don’t think the author understood it when they wrote it.
RR: I think they have their own special subset of English.
Hiding your deep breath, you opened the front door of Toriel's house. This was your chance to prove yourself to Sans.
AK: You know I have to wonder if she ever thought about what Toriel would think of her stealing her boyfriend.
RR: You imply she thinks.
"Be good, little Frisky."
AK: I did not call for a FriskxVoiceinherhead so don’t.
RR: noooo, nonono, it’s better than SansxFrisk in this WE CAN STILL SAVE SANS
You had to be. If you wanted Sans to return the feeling you had for him, then you were going to have to prove you were worth the time and effort.
AK: OH MY GOD WE’RE DONE !! FINISHED!! I CAN GO TAKE A BATH AND FORGET!!!
RR: Haha, no we’re not. Still got some chapters to go.
AK: *sobs*
RR: *pats your head* Don’ worry, it’ll get beeeeett… um. Something. It’ll get something. Something might actually happen.
AK: Reassuring!!
RR: Do you want me to lie?

The soft thump of boots on metal accompanied two crewmates as they meandered down the hall. Bunbun trailed after River, taking a look at her task list. The tasks from Reactor and Security glowed green. Five other tasks still remained white. More updates in one day than she’d prefer, sure. But she’d had a nice send off by the reactor monitor. Lemon’s kind words were only a minute behind her. And, if Lemon was right, she and River were off to meet his son. Hopefully he was just as friendly. 
River reached upper engine first. If his disgruntled huff was anything to go by, it meant there was company. He got himself settled near the doorway as Bunbun caught up to him. She stepped into the room nervously. Amid the hissing and noise of clunky machinery, she could just hear someone shouting. It took her a minute to locate the source- half hidden by the steam, a crewmate in a lime suit was waving near the system monitoring panel. Bunbun waved back hastily, moving closer to make out their words. “-ey! Hey! Over here!” the crewmate called, waving steam out of their face. “Got it! I’m here!” Bunbun shouted back. Squinting, she did her best to swipe away some of the steam, stopping next to the stranger. From the shock of red hair she saw through bits of fog, she had a feeling he was Lemon’s son. Though she did wish she could see him better. And hear him better. It was so loud and so misty in here. “One sec! Let me just- set this thing on low for a minute-!” He coughed, tapping at the monitoring panel. “All good! You do what you need!” Bunbun replied.  Soon enough, the clanking and roaring of metal died down to a low rumble. The mist cleared out as the noise quieted. Once it faded, Bunbun got her first good look at the crewmate. He had a bright green suit- lime, as HQ called it- and a brown paperboy’s cap. His large square glasses were still unfogging with the room. He had a smattering of freckles across his peachy skin, especially over his nose. The square of gauze taped to his cheek had a couple dark fingerprints against it. Oil, if Bun had a guess. As she’d noted before, his hair was just the same shade as his father’s- though it was longer and more tousled. He took off his glasses to polish them, giving a glimpse of dark blue eyes, and a brief glance at heavily pierced ears. He was definitely on the younger side for a crewmate. If she had a guess, he was out doing field work for space academy. He flashed a nervous smile at Bunbun, fidgeting as he pushed his glasses back on. 
Ah, she knew that look. Seems she’d found her fellow timid crewmate.
“Er- hi, sorry about that,” he chuckled sheepishly. “Things get pretty hectic in here, a-and i’m not used to other people doing engine maintenance…” “It’s ok,” Bunbun said, “I know how that gets, believe me.” “Eheheh, right… I’m, uh Lemon Junior by the way. But you can just call me Junior.” Holding out a hand, Junior tried for a smile. “It’s nice to meet you, uh…?” “Bunbun,” Bun replied, taking his hand for a gentle shake. “I take it you heard about the updates I need to do?” “Yeah, uh, I did,” Junior nodded. “Lemon sent me up here to help out after we finished refueling.” Gesturing to the panel, he looked to her uncertainly. “If, um, I’m allowed to ask… what kinda updates are you… y’know… gonna do…?” Bunbun was sensing a theme with the engine monitors on the ship. “Just a couple things to make alignment reports more accurate,” she explained. “The engines are a little old, so giving them an update just lets the records be more accurate. Helps HQ make sure they won’t need any big fixes.” Junior nodded along as she spoke. Relief shone on his face. That made Bunbun relieved too. Any soothing she could offer in the ways of tech was nice. “Yeah, ok. That’s ok. You can, um, do what you need to,” he sighed, stepping back. “Just let me know when you’re done updating here.” “Of course!”
With that, Bunbun settled in, once again, to take care of the software. She could feel Junior watching her as she worked. It wasn’t… horrible. It didn’t feel like how river watched her. More like those curious interns she encountered sometimes. A glance over her shoulders said Junior was keeping more of an eye on the screen. He looked away quickly when he saw her watching, looking like a kid caught with the cookie jar. He must have an eye for software, she thought fondly. Kid after her own heart. She moved to the side nonchalantly to give him a better view as she worked. She could see him smile out of the corner of her eye. One of her own tugged at the corners of her mouth. Maybe they could talk code later. That would be nice. Across the room, River was grumbling to himself. When he wasn’t staring holes in the wall or his fellow crewmates, Bunbun could hear him shuffling around impatiently. Engine aligning just took a little longer. The patch would have to be replicated exactly, after all. Can’t be too careful. River’s grumbly restlessness was more of a nod to his lack of patience. From Junior’s nervous fidgeting, he’d taken notice. “... um… you can wait outside… if you want…” Junior called hesitantly, looking to River. “Can’t,” River said bluntly. “Oh- why?” Junior perked up. “Did you need something?” River shook his head with a grunt. “Gotta watch the newbie.” “Er… oh.” The lime-suited crewmate seemed to deflate a little. “Ok. Just. Thought I’d offer,” Junior mumbled. “Whatever,” River snorted. Bunbun just bent her head lower over her tablet. The green upload bar ticked forward at a snail’s pace. Though the process only took a minute or two, it was still the worst part of working with tech. Not to mention the sooner she left, the sooner she could get River out of Junior’s hair. He was fidgeting with his hands enough that she knew he was self soothing. C’mon, c’mon… almost there… she begged internally. 
When the green finally filled the bar, she let out a long sigh. “Ooookay, upper engine’s all done,” she reported. “Thank the lord,” River drawled, exasperated. “All of it?” Junior blinked. His face lit up with awe. “Sheesh, that was fast!!!” “Well, yeah,” Bunbun chuckled, hiding a smile, “I wouldn’t be so highly recommended if I was slow.” “Fair ‘nuff, fair ‘nuff.” Humming contentedly, Bunbun turned back to the system monitoring panel. Oh yeah, she’d definitely talk code with him later. For now, she leaned forward to study what she’d just done. Now came the tricky part. Reuploading the exact same fixes on the other engine. How to go about this…? “Hey, Junior?” She asked, waving her crewmate over. “I have a quick question before I head out.” Junior tilted his head to the side, hat nearly slipping off his head. “Head out?” he echoed. “Well, yeah, I’ve gotta do the same thing down at lower engine. I just wanted to know if-” “Oh! Oh, nonono, lemme save you the trip-” Junior broke in. Rushing to her side, he reached for the manual alignment slider. “Y’see, I figured out this little loophole awhile ago- just a sec-” Bunbun watched with increasing confusion and concern as he expertly centered the slider, eyed the screen, and gave the slider a rather rough slam with his fist. The monitor sputtered a minute, and so did she. What was he doing? Where had her work gone??? “Wh- what did you-?” she managed to squeak, falling silent as her tablet made the distinctive thrum of a task finish notification. The screen stabilized a moment later. Junior pulled back, looking quite pleased with himself. “Aaaaaand- there!” he chirped, smiling. “I just sent your code down to Lower Engine. No need to walk down yourself.” “... how in the world did you… find that?” Bunbun wondered, baffled. “I-it’s an old system,” Junior replied meekly. “It was a bug my dad found out on accident awhile ago. We just found a way to make it useful.” “... huh.” Bunbun nodded thoughtfully. Useful bugs. An old idea, sure, but it worked just fine here. “Fair enough. Thank you!” “‘S no problem, glad I could help,” Junior beamed. “You ready to go now?” River called. “My legs are gonna give out if I stand here much longer.” Bunbun and Junior shared a look. They may have properly met a few minutes ago, but… well. They’d both seen enough of River. “Coming, coming,” Bunbun sighed. Waving at Junior, she plodded after her dark blue crewmate. “Hope the engines behave for you and lemon!” “Thanks, miss! Hope the systems behave for you too!!!” 
Behind her, the engine slowly started roaring back to life. Its noisy growling echoed off the walls as she followed River once again. It might’ve just been her optimism, but she thought the sound was smoother now. Meanwhile, River seemed to have chosen a path for her this time. They were headed straight to Medbay. The noise didn’t necessarily decrease as they approached. It just changed from machinery to voices. Bunbun could only make out the conversation once she got close. River had parked himself outside of the door, looking inside a bit warily. Bunbun hung back uncertainly. What was he waiting on? “Will you please sit still?” a voice begged, clearly exasperated.  “I’ve been sitting still for five minutes now!” another whined, equally as annoyed.  Curious, Bunbun edged around River to peek in the room. The medbay looked as it usually did- four beds and equipment in the back. The scanner and computer monitor looked a little old, sure, but they’d been polished so well they looked new. Movement from the back right bed caught her eye- it was the source of the voices. 
Sitting on the end of the bed was a crewmate in a red suit. Her pack was leaned against the footboard, a pair of red and black headphones sitting atop it. Both objects nearly got kicked over as the crewmate squirmed. Her straight dark hair was cut a little above shoulder length, a long swoosh of it nearly covering her right eye. Her brows were furrowed over her earth-toned gaze, expression quite put out. Her skin was a tannish beige, with plenty of bandages littering her face. Evidently, she was not a stranger to Medbay. A black choker was visible as she shifted again, grumpily trying to free her hand from another’s grasp. It’d been stripped of its glove, revealing some painful, blue tinted blisters. The one hanging onto the crewmate’s hand was wearing a white suit. Her long coppery hair was partly tied up in two buns, the rest of it spilling fluffily past her shoulders. Her bangs hung so low they almost covered her olive green eyes. Of course, the heart shaped glasses she wore did a better job of that. Bunbun admired how they matched her earrings, though- pink hearts adorned the crewmate’s ears. A flower pin was rooted near the right side of her head. She looked somewhat annoyed by her patient, but not angry. She was doing her best to maneuver her gently, giving her all the care of an electrician fixing sparky wiring. 
“Five minutes isn’t enough for me to examine your hand,” the one in white pointed out. “Rose, babe, come on,” the one in red groaned, “it’s nothing serious, just a little plasma burn!” “You may think so, but you’re not the medic, are you?” White retorted. “But- I- you-” Red sputtered. White raised a brow. After a minute or two of stumbling over excuses, Red’s shoulders slumped. “Ghhh. Fine,” she grumbled, “have it your way.” “That’s what I thought,” White said smugly. “Now, about that hand of yours…” 
A knock from the doorway drew everyone’s gaze instantly. River hadn’t moved from his spot, though his hand was now raised. He rapped his knuckle on the doorway a few more times. “Hey. Rose. Laser,” he nodded to white and red respectively. “Mind if we come in?” “Oh! River! And- you’re Bunbun, right?” Rose asked hesitantly. Bunbun nodded, giving a tiny wave. “Er, yeah. That’s me.” “Well, I wasn’t expecting either of you today!” Rose said, head tilted. “Come right in. I’ll be finished here in a little bit.” “Just don’t take the bed next to me,” Laser huffed at River. Rose gave her a look, and her patient stuck out her tongue. 
River walked almost cautiously into the room, going over to stand by the left side beds. He stood straight and proper there, hands by his sides. Bunbun trailed after him. She got herself comfortable leaning on an empty bed close to the group. Rose busied herself wrapping Laser’s hand in some gauze. The two whispered to each other- something about dinner plans- as she worked. Once all was said and done, the medic straightened back up. “Now! What can I do for you two?” Rose asked them warmly. “Nothing for me today,” River replied, nodding in Bunbun’s direction. “I’m supervising Bunbun. She can give you more details.” Bunbun blinked a bit at the sudden and calm introduction. That was the most polite response she’d heard River give all day. It honestly caught her a bit off guard. Scrambling to compose herself, she held her tablet close to her chest. “Um- yeah, I’m just g-going around the ship to update some systems,” she explained timidly. “Your ship is a little out of date, but i’ve got plenty of patches and software updates to help out.” “Ah! I was wondering when HQ was going to send someone here,” Rose sighed softly. “About time, if you ask me,” Laser snorted. “We’ve been needing someone to help this bucket of bolts for lightyears.” Rose gave laser a little pat in agreement. Even River seemed to nod, albeit he rolled his eyes a little. “Yeah, so, I’ve just got a couple updates to do in medbay. I’ll try to be quick, but… y’know. No guarantees,” Bunbun continued. “That’s ok! And entirely understandable.” One finger tapped her chin thoughtfully, her gaze bouncing around the room. “What needs to be updated in my little corner?” “Ooone sec-” Bunbun mumbled, opening her task list. There were two tasks listed in medbay. “It looks like just your scanner and computer monitors? If that’s alright?” “I don’t see why not,” Rose hummed. “Go right ahead, miss. Let me know if you need anything.” “Will do, thank you,” Bunbun replied. She’d hardly taken a step towards the monitors, though, when Laser broke in. “Whoa whoa whoa- hooold on a sec there-” Laser burst, holding up her hands. The action made her wince, but she made no other signs of pain. “You’re here for updates, right?” “U-uh-” Bunbun stammered, confused and alarmed, “y-yes-?” “Are there any updates assigned to Weapons or Shields?” Laser pressed. “Let me… check…?” Bunbun said warily. Looking down at her task list, she gave it a quick scan. Surprisingly, they were both absent from her tasks. Huh. Well, that’s odd, she thought. Out loud, she answered Laser’s query. “No, there’s n-nothing for Weapons or Shields.” “Yes!” Laser whooped, pumping her bandaged fist. An action she immediately regretted. Hissing in pain, she still managed a wide grin. “I told you guys updating your stations often was a good idea!!!” “You did say that, didn’t you, firecracker?” Rose chuckled softly, a gentle smile on her face. “Mmmmhm…” River hummed, lips pressed tightly together. “W-well, it does keeps the systems running up to HQ code, not to mention upping their efficiency,” Bunbun explained timidly. Laser gestured to her enthusiastically. “You! I like you!” Laser grinned, “cuz you get it!!!” “Don’t mean to interrupt, ladies,” River spoke up- almost gently, giving Bunbun another momentary bluescreen- “but Bunbun does have a job to do.” Luckily, Laser and Rose’s voices snapped her out of it. “Oh. Right. She does, doesn’t she?” Laser echoed. “Sorry bout that, Bunbun.” “Indeed she does,” Rose agreed. Smiling apologetically, she nodded towards the scanner and monitor. “They’re all yours for as long as you need, Bun.” Giving the two a grateful nod, Bunbun strode towards the scanner. “It’s no problem,” she replied, pulling up her code. “I’ll be done in just a tick…”
                                                 ===+===+===
The updates in medbay took much longer than expected. Around thirty minutes in total. There was a lot to get to. Not only did Bunbun find herself tripping over incorrectly stored files from previous medics, but the outdated medical system kept trying to override her new input. The whole thing was confusing, frustrating, and very difficult to work with. 
Fortunately, she found herself in good company. 
Rose’s level head and gentle tone helped keep her distress down, and she knew all the work arounds for the computer. Laser offered plenty of encouragement. River, to his credit, actually stayed quiet. He added input only once- when a security bypass code popped up. Other than that… nothing. He just sort of. Stood there. It was odd. But Rose and Laser were enough to distract Bunbun from it, and enough to keep her on task.
When she finally pulled back from the equipment, the other ladies gave a little cheer. “Good job, hon! It’s running like a model made yesterday,” Rose beamed. “You wrangled the hell out of that code!” Laser grinned. “That’s a perfect job in my book.” “Thank you, thank you,” Bunbun laughed, waving a hand. “You’re too kind- both of you!” “We do our best,” Laser winked. “Anytime!” Rose hummed. “... yeah. Glad you got that figured out,” River finally spoke up. Bunbun gave him a quiet nod of thanks. Was he just… warming up…? She really hoped so. Shifting in place, River jerked his head towards the door. “You ready to head out, Bunbun? Just a couple more stops.” Bunbun paused. Holding up a finger, she flipped up her tablet. Both the tasks she’d had for Medbay now glowed green. Perfect. She nodded quickly. “Yeah, I’m good,” she replied. “M’kay. Let’s get a move on,” River sighed. “See the rest of y’all around.” He turned to go, pace a little slower as he left the room. Bunbun waved over her shoulder to Laser and Rose. The two smiled and waved back, free hands gently entwined as they gave their well wishes. The sight left Bunbun smiling all the way down the hall. 
The more of her crewmates she met, the more at home she was starting to feel. It was… nice. Really nice. A good assignment so far. She hoped it’d stay that way.
