The Soldier and The Spy

Summary: You're a Separatist spy. It's only ironic that your soulmate fights for the other side.

Pairings: Fives x reader

Warnings: NSFW, smut, p in v sex, unprotected sex, fingering, oral, 69, face sitting, Fives is subby, Republic bashing hardcore, enemies to lovers but it happens fast, Soulmate AU, ANGST

A/N: So this was very different when I first imagined it and then this idea took over. It might be the first angsty fic that doesn't have a clear happy ending. Let's just say it's only happy if you see it that way. I actually don't hate this one, but you might hate me for writing it.

MASTERLIST

Your feet pound against the stone path as you run. Just a bit further. You’re almost to your ship. If you can reach it, you have a greater chance of escape. Of course, you had to navigate around the warship hovering in the atmosphere, but at least you wouldn’t be vulnerable and on foot.

You can hear them behind you, the clacking of their plastoid armor, the occasional calling out of orders and directions. Your only advantage is your lack of armor. You’re lighter, and faster, and you knew where you were going.

You scramble up the steps onto the landing platform, not slowing as you race towards your ship.

You’re almost there, just within reach when a hand shoots out, grabbing your elbow. You feel a pop in your shoulder as you’re violently redirected, your back slamming against the side of your ship. You’re quickly pinned, staring up at a clone’s helmet. He’s breathing heavily, chest heaving as he stares down at you. He must have been on foot, so how had he managed to pass you?

“You give a good chase, sweetheart,” He says, pinning you tight against the side of your ship. His vambrace digs into your chest, making it hard to breathe. “But not good enough.”

Your eyes widen in shock. Those words have been printed on your chest, just over your heart, for the last ten years. You spent countless hours trying to imagine just what situation you’ll find yourself in where those words make sense. You spent hours picturing just who was going to say them to you.

You certainly hadn’t thought it would be this. Nor had you thought it would be a clone saying them to you.

“You’re one cocky bastard, aren’t you?” You smirk, knowing he’s had that line printed on his skin too.

You can see when it registers, his hold on you lessening just slightly as he processes the situation. You’re one step ahead, using his surprise to your advantage. You drive a knee upwards, hitting him right where his codpiece ends. He doubles over, releasing you enough that you can slip out of his hold, running for the ramp of your ship.

You’re almost there, but he recovers faster than you expected him to, your body going rigid as he stuns you before you drop, falling unconscious.

***

You wake in a cell. You could guess where you were before you even opened your eyes. You’re stretched out on a cot, hardly more than a metal bed. It’s certainly not the most uncomfortable place you’ve woken in before. You push yourself to sit, wincing at the pain in your shoulder. That clone must have dislocated it when he grabbed you.

Your soulmate.

The clone that’s your soulmate.

Ironic, really, that you would end up on opposite sides of the war. It wasn’t like you had much of a choice. As a clone, he had no choice on which side he fought for. Clones. The Republic’s loyal flesh machines that would happily lay down their lives for a system that doesn’t care about them. The Republic would resort to using living beings to fight. At least battle droids aren’t alive. They don’t feel, they don’t breathe, they barely think.

You sigh, trying to move your injured shoulder. A deep ache burns through you, your shoulder hardly moving at all. It feels tight and swollen, and you can just imagine a huge bruise on your skin.

“Excuse me.” You say, turning to face the energy shield keeping you in the cell. The two troopers stationed outside turn to look at you. “Can I see a medic? I think your buddy dislocated my shoulder when he grabbed me.”

They share a look before one walks away. You hope they are actually getting a medic. A dislocated shoulder is hardly the worst injury you’ve had to live with, but you’re not exactly thrilled about being injured on an enemy ship. Not that you had any hopes of escaping. There were probably thousands of clones crawling every inch of this ship and the chances of you getting into the landing bay to steal a ship successfully were small.

Going up against hundreds, if not thousands, of trained soldiers by yourself? Well, you’ve already lost to one.

You’re left waiting an immeasurable amount of time before more troopers arrive, flanking whom you can only assume is the Jedi general. You’ve never met a Jedi before. You’ve never really seen one either. Part of your job was to avoid them at all costs, and you’ve been successful, up to this point.

You assume they’re not here to fix your shoulder.

You meet the gaze of the Jedi as he and the two troopers enter your cell, not backing down despite how much you’d like to. His gaze is sharp, piercing right into you like he’s reading your very soul. From what little you know about Jedi, he might actually be doing that. He looks young, though. Not much younger than yourself.

“You’re more well behaved than I figured a Separatist spy might be in this situation.” He says, breaking the tense silence.

“Then you must not have much experience with Separatists.” You counter, testing the boundaries.

A smirk tugs at one corner of his mouth. “You gonna make this easy on me?”

You scoff, leaning back against the wall. “You really don’t have much experience with Separatists, then.”

The Jedi shrugs. “You don’t have to talk to me. I know the Republic will do their own questioning when we arrive. If you’re willing to talk now, it might make that a little easier.”

You stare at him for a moment. “Aren’t you supposed to be able to force me to talk with your little magic tricks?”

He smirks. “That’s only reserved for dire situations. The Jedi look down on using the Force to interrogate even Separatists.”

You sit up a little straighter. “Why do I get the feeling you’re not like most Jedi?”

He smirks at you before turning to one of the troopers behind him. They both leave your cell, leaving you behind with one of the troopers. It’s the one that caught you.

Your soulmate.

He and the other clone leave the cell, leaving you and your soulmate alone. He stands there, staring at you for a while. You stare back, right into his visor. You wonder what he’s thinking, what his plan is. He could reject you. You had heard something about clones rejecting their soulmates. Maybe he hopes rejecting you will force you into speaking.

“You just gonna stand there or are you going to interrogate me?” You ask, breaking the silence.

He finally moves, lifting his hands to remove his helmet. You stare at his face, pretty much what you would expect. You know what the clones look like, generally. He has the standard face, the standard haircut. He has a goatee, though, and an Aurebesh “5” tattooed on the side of his head. His eyes are brown, deep and expressive as they stare at you.

“I’m not here to interrogate you.” He finally says. “Like the General said, the GAR will take care of that once we get back to Coruscant.” He stares at your face for a moment. “I’m sorry for hurting you.”

You huff out a laugh. “You wouldn’t be saying that if I wasn’t your soulmate. If I remember correctly I was just some ‘Separatist scum.’”

His jaw clenches, brow furrowing as he stares at you. “Why would you join the Separatists?”

“Why do you fight for the Republic?” You counter.

You’ve backed him into a corner. You know it, and he knows it.

“If you actually knew the truth about the Republic you fight for, I don’t think you’d be so willing to lay down your life for it.” You say.

“The truth?” His fists clench at his sides, and you know you’ve struck a nerve. The clones really are just mindlessly loyal. “What, the propaganda the Separatists feed their citizens?”

“You don’t think the Republic feeds propaganda to its citizens too? You think so highly of a Republic that is just a bunch of cushy Senators that sit in a building and debate endlessly while their people die by the thousands across the entire galaxy every day.”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” He says, starting to get angry.

“No?” You raise an eyebrow at him. “Maybe you should start paying more attention. What are you really to the Republic? Just another number, right?”

He turns his back to you, shoulders squared. “I’d never join the Separatists.”

“I’m not asking you to.” You say. You’ve pressed some buttons. You know that. “Aren’t you supposed to reject me?”

He deflates a bit, his head drooping. “We’re supposed to. It’s what the GAR wants.”

You close your good hand into a fist. Just another way to dehumanize their human army. You’d expect nothing less.

“Most of us don’t agree. We don’t follow that rule.” He turns back around, staring at you. “It’s not fair. To us, or to our soulmates. The General doesn’t care either. A lot of them don’t. I’m not going to reject you. I made a promise to someone, and even if he’s gone, I’m keeping my half of that promise. I need you to promise me something.”

You stay quiet, staring at him, waiting for him to continue. You’d never agree to a promise unless you knew what it was.

“There will be GAR officials waiting when we land to take you into custody. I don’t know exactly what will happen after that, but I can imagine they’ll question you. They might offer you a deal. Whatever happens, just don’t mention our connection. Don’t say anything about soulmates. We were put together for a reason. We’re not just going to meet this once and that be it.”

You stay quiet, your gaze on the floor. He’s asking a lot of someone he just met, someone on the opposite side of the war. As much as you want to believe him, you know you’re likely headed to a prison cell where you’ll spend the rest of your life. Stealing Republic data for the Separatists was not a good look, and the likelihood of them offering any sort of deal is slim. You don’t know enough about the Separatist leadership or plans to offer much in exchange. You just break into Republic information systems and steal its data.

It’s not looking good for you.

“I can’t promise anything.” You finally say.

You can’t look at him. You don’t know why, but you can’t bring yourself to look at his face. Shame burns through you, and you hate it. He’s just another clone, someone who could die tomorrow for all you know.

He’s your soulmate.

He sighs, putting his helmet back on, moving toward the energy shield. “Fives.” He says, pausing before he steps through. “My name’s Fives, because my designation number is all fives.”

He leaves you then, not turning back to look at you.

You keep your gaze down, your face burning as tears start to form. You hate it. You hate that you feel this way. You’re not supposed to care about them, about anyone. You get data, you deliver it to a designated spot, then you get paid. That’s all you care about.

You don’t care about a stupid clone.

You sit, fighting tears for another immeasurable amount of time. It’s hard to tell how much time has passed with no chronometer. A window would have been nice, at least to have something other than grey walls and the troopers guarding your cell. Staring at them only makes you feel worse.

More troopers arrive and for a moment you’re scared you’ve landed and you’re about to meet your fate. They approach the cell, speaking quietly to the two troopers outside before the energy shield is lowered, three of them stepping in. You stare at the one approaching you, the medic’s symbol on his shoulder.

He kneels down in front of you silently, scanning your shoulder. “Dislocated.” He says, putting the scanner away. He stands, taking your arm in his hands. “I’ll reset it on three. One, two.” He pushes on your shoulder, an audible pop sounding as it moves back into place.

You let out a yelp, glaring up at him. “What happened to three?”

“You would have tensed on three.” He says, pressing against the joint with his fingers. “Makes it easier for both of us if you’re relaxed.”

He pulls an injector from his belt, stabbing you in the shoulder with it. You make another noise as he injects the bacta, rubbing your shoulder when he’s done. A bit rough for a medic, but you are the enemy here.

“Thanks.” You say, already feeling the pain lessen as the bacta works.

He stares at you for a second, obviously taken aback by your politeness. Just because you’re a Separatist doesn’t mean you have to be an asshole all the time.

They leave you alone again, left to nothing but your thoughts. You almost would have preferred another interrogation.

***

You’re carted away by more troopers as soon as the ship lands. It’s a bit ridiculous just how many of them are there. They must not successfully capture Separatists often.

You’re immediately taken into an interrogation. It’s a good tactic, really. You’re exhausted and hungry and just ready for them to throw you in a cell for the rest of your life already.

You don’t make it easy for them, though. It’s not your nature.

After days of grueling interrogation and a lack of sleep, they finally offer you an ultimatum. You’re surprised they’ve offered you a deal, but perhaps the war was not waging as well as they liked to make it seem.

Life in prison, or work for them.

Neither of the options are ideal, and both are the same in a way. Your life would be under intense watch and scrutiny regardless, but the chances of you getting eaten or worse under the GAR’s watch was significantly less.

You only regret choosing to work for the GAR a little. Your data scraping skills were less important to them as your code breaking skills. Turns out they aren’t as skilled as they like to pretend, and the absolute nonsense the droids used to encrypt the Separatist files is hard for them.

If it keeps you out of a prison cell, then whatever. You’ll do it.

Maybe Fives had been right.

You force that thought out of your mind as fast as it arrives. You’ll deal with that later.

You have enough to worry about with the GAR’s incessant chokehold on you. You swear you can’t even use the fresher without them constantly surveying your every move. You get it, they’re just trying to make sure you’re not going to betray them or try and run. It’s not like you really have anywhere else to go. Or anyone to share secrets with anymore.

More than likely the Separatists would execute you as a traitor if you tried to return, and even if they didn’t, what do you really have to return to?

Besides, your soulmate is here.

You hate yourself for it, but you kept his promise. You didn’t breathe a word of Fives and your connection to him. They didn’t ask about your soulmate, other than taking note of the words on your chest at intake. Easy identification, you know that. Not that you were really planning to escape. Not that you have the skills to even try.

As much as you try to fight it, you can’t help but think about Fives. Where he is, if he’s alright. You know it’s just the connection talking, the beginning of your bond that had been formed when you spoke the words to each other. It’s only going to get worse the longer you’re apart from him. He must know you kept your promise, and you can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking. You can imagine the cocky smirk on his face when he realized you hadn’t spilled anything. You had kept his promise despite not agreeing to.

Maker, you hate yourself sometimes.

As the weeks pass, and you continue to prove your obedience to the GAR, they begin to lessen their chokehold on your every movement. You know part of it is the shifting of the war, the Republic barely managing to keep a leg up on the Separatists. You manage to get some freedom, able to go places within a short distance from the base. It’s in this new found freedom, you get back into contact with Fives.

One of the 501st troopers approaches you while you’re away from the base, and for a moment you think he’s there to take you back, but instead he passes by, slipping a comm device into your hand. You slip it into your pocket, grabbing what you need before heading back to the base.

You shut yourself in the fresher, the only place you have any privacy, pulling out the comm device. You stare at it for a moment. This could be a trap, an attempt by the GAR to either out your soulmate, or out you as not being as loyal as you tried to make them believe you were.

“Hello?” You give in, speaking into it. You don’t care, you need to hear Fives’ voice again. The need, the itching under your skin to be close to him has almost become unbearable. If you can just hear his voice, maybe it will ease the ache just a bit.

“Hello, mesh’la.” His voice comes through, your breath leaving in a relieved huff of air. “It’s good to hear your voice.”

“I didn’t think it would really be you.” You say, leaning your head against the wall. You’re relieved to hear his voice, if only as proof it’s not a trap.

“Why wouldn’t it be me?” You can practically hear the smirk in his voice. “Did you think this was a trap?”

“Yes.” You admit. “I wouldn’t put it past the GAR.”

“Then why did you use it?”

You want to reach through the comm and slap the smirk off his face. “Maybe because I was hoping it was the Separatists coming to rescue me.”

It’s quiet for a moment. “I probably wouldn’t joke about that.”

You glance around the ceiling of the fresher, half expecting to find a hidden camera or a recording device. “Probably not. They’ve had quite the chokehold on me for a while.”

“I know. It took some planning just for this to happen.” He sounds tired. Weary. You wonder just how badly he’s been feeling, since he has to still fight a war on top of everything else. “You didn’t say anything.”

You swallow the lump in your throat, pulling your knees to your chest. “I didn’t say anything.”

“I’d like to see you again.” He says, his voice so soft, so disarming.

“If you can pull that off, I’ll be impressed.” You say.

“I have something in the works. We’ll be returning to Coruscant soon. Just be prepared.”

“That’s helpful.” You say.

“I can’t give too much away. It has to seem genuine. If the GAR suspects anything...”

“I know.” You say. “It’ll spell trouble for us both. I’d rather not have to go to prison if I can help it. I very much like having my little bit of freedom.”

“I’d like to not be decommissioned either.” He goes quiet for a moment. “I have to go. Just keep an eye out in a few days.”

“Okay.” You say, trying not to smile.

You hate the way he makes you feel.

*** A Few Months Later ***

You anxiously pace the small living area in your tiny apartment. You haven’t been able to sit still since the comm message came in last night. You barely slept, mind too busy racing to rest much. You look a mess, despite your best efforts to make yourself appear put together.

Maker, you have it bad.

Over the last few months the GAR had continued to loosen its watchful hold over your life, and they had allowed you to move into your own apartment just off the base. You know they’re still watching, still making sure nothing suspicious is going on, but you’re glad for a little bit of freedom. You know they’ve also done it because the war has been shifting even more. Things are not going as well as they’d hoped, and allocating resources to watching ex-Separatist spies who willingly defected to join the GAR was not high on their list anymore.

You’re glad for the privacy, because it makes seeing Fives easier. The first time he’d seen you after your defection had been a process that involved his general and his captain. A quick fib about needing your help with some data they had on board had led to you and Fives fucking in the empty barracks. It had gotten easier to sneak away as the GAR loosened its hold on you.

You’ve only seen Fives three times since then, as his trips to Coruscant were becoming few and far between. You hate it, the time you have to spend apart. It’s getting harder and harder as the bond continues to strengthen between you. You’re going insane, and talking isn’t enough anymore. You want to be with him all the time, but you know that’s not possible.

A knock sounds at your door and your heart jumps. You swallow the nerves, the excitement. You don’t want to look like you’ve been waiting for a visitor if it’s not Fives. That would raise questions and that’s the last thing you need.

You take a peek out the viewport before opening the door. “Fives!”

“Hello, mesh’la.” He smirks, opening his arms.

You tug him into your apartment, letting the door close behind him. You wrap your arms around him, tugging him down into a kiss. He meets your lips eagerly, his hands roaming all over your body as if to make sure you’re still whole, still real.

“Someone missed me.” He smirks, trying to pull away from your lips, but you tangle a hand in his hair, pulling him back. He laughs, his hands settling on your hips.

Your hands tug at his armor, starting to take it off piece by piece.

“Easy, little loth cat.” He says, stilling your hands. “We have a few hours.”

You give him a look. “If you don’t hurry up and get inside me, I will kick you out on the street.”

“Yes, ma’am.” He laughs, letting you tug him back towards the bedroom.

You tug your own shirt over your head, helping him remove pieces of his armor. He’s already half hard, your hand ghosting over the bulge under his blacks. He lets out a quiet sound, hips attempting to push against your hand, but you move it.

“Evil.” He grunts, looping his fingers under your waistband. He tugs your pants down, eyes widening as he sees the lack of underwear underneath. “You were waiting for this.”

“Yes.” You say, tugging his shirt over his head. “I need you so kriffing bad.”

“We’ve got a few hours.” He says, tugging his blacks down his legs. “But I have to leave early. We’re shipping out to Ringo Vinda in the morning.”

You wrap your arms around his neck, standing on your toes to press your forehead against his. “I hate when you have to leave.”

“I know.” He kisses you softly. “I’m here now. That’s what matters.”

You kiss him back, letting him lead you backwards towards the bed. He turns, lifting you into his arms before he lays back on the bed. He pulls away for a moment to groan in satisfaction, going lax under you.

“I miss how comfortable this bed is.” He says, stretching his arms out.

You shrug. “I’ve slept in better.”

He grabs your thighs, tugging you closer. “Cheeky.” He tugs you further up his body. “Sit on my face.”

You breathe out a curse, moving yourself so you’re hovering over him. You grab onto the headboard, his hands closing around your thighs to tug you down so you’re sitting on him. His mouth immediately meets your pussy, already wet. You’ve been wet since this morning, thinking about having him all to yourself once again. Your fingers were never enough, and it only made you miss him more.

He closes his lips around your clit, sucking harshly. You let out a cry, tangling a hand in his hair. It’s been a while, too busy to even bother getting yourself off. Your hips grind against his face as he shifts slightly lower, nose bumping your clit as he licks at your opening. He groans something inaudible, his tongue pressing into you as his hands guide you to continue grinding against his face.

He sucks on your clit once more and you’re cumming, legs shaking as you soak his face. He holds you there, licking you clean as you come down from your high. You shift off his face, his skin shining with your slick.

“Kriff.” You whisper as you stare down at him, his eyes dark with lust. “That’s a good look on you.”

He smirks wickedly. “Well, hopefully soon it’ll be a permanent look.”

You make a quiet noise, biting your lip at the thought. Having him whenever, wherever you want. That’s the dream. “My turn.” You say, turning around so your back is to him, laying yourself flat on his stomach so you’re face to face with his cock.

He groans, hands spreading your folds. “That’s a beautiful sight right there.”

You take him into your mouth as he presses a finger into you. His groan vibrates through your body, the stretch of his fingers making you moan around him. He breathes out a curse, slipping a second finger into you. He pumps them lazily as you suck his cock, keeping your hand tight around the base. You debate sucking the soul right out of him, but you want him to cum inside you. You want him inside you. Badly.

You pull yourself away before he can cum, making him whine. You sit up, moving so you’re straddling his hips. You give him a smirk, his lips parting as he stares at you.

“Oh, kriff.” He breathes, staring at you wide eyed as you grab his cock, sinking down onto it.

You moan at the stretch, your very soul seeming to relax as you take every inch of him. He’s so big, no matter how many times you take him, it’s always a stretch. He’s breathing heavily under you, eyes wide as he stares up at you.

“Feel so good.” You moan, rocking your hips just slightly. “Missed you.”

“Kriff,” He curses, hands gripping your hips. “Missed you too.”

You curse, lifting yourself up just slightly before sinking back down. “So good for me.” You say, tracing his chest.

Something changes in his gaze at your words, his hands tightening around your hips. You’re already sensitive from your first orgasm, sweat beginning to slick your skin as you bounce on top of him. His eyes lock onto your breasts as you move, hands cupping your ass. You’ve been trying to figure out which is his favorite, but you haven’t been successful.

Maybe he just likes all of you.

The feeling is mutual.

You continue to move on top of him, bouncing and grinding as you chase your second of what will be many orgasms tonight. Fives is moaning and whining under you, close to his own orgasm. You watch his face, the way it morphs into nothing but pure pleasure as you squeeze around him, drawing his first orgasm of the night from him.

His hands are bruising around your hips, your hand slipping around to your front to circle your clit. You cum a second time, shaking above him as you brace your hands on his stomach. He watches you through lidded eyes as you cum, drawing your pleasure from him.

He pulls you down onto his chest, smoothing his hands across your back. You’re both sweaty and panting, but you’re far from finished with each other.

“A minute.” You breathe, letting yourself go limp on top of him. “Gimme a minute.”

“That good, huh?” He smirks.

You make a face, shaking your head. “You cocky bastard.”

***

“Fives?” You ask, tracing patterns on his chest. It’s late, both of you well fucked and satiated for the time being. You know he has to go in a couple hours, slip out of your small apartment and head back to the base.

He hums in response, eyes closed and half asleep.

You take a deep breath, scared to bring up the topic you had been avoiding speaking about. You hadn’t trusted to talk about it over the comms, needing to say it directly to his face. “Would you ever consider deserting?”

He’s awake now, eyes snapping open. “What?”

“Would you ever consider deserting the GAR?” You ask again.

He sits up, practically pushing you off him. “Why would you even ask that?”

You sit up, pulling the sheets up to cover your chest. “I’m scared, Fives.” You admit, voice wavering. “I overheard something, and it’s scaring me.”

“What did you hear?” He asks, brows furrowing.

“I caught part of an encrypted conversation. It was something about some plan to wipe out the Republic using the clones.”

Fives stands from the bed, shaking his head. “That’s...that’s ridiculous. You don’t even know if it’s true.”

“But what if it is?” You plead with him, staring at his back. “I’m scared, Fives. If anyone finds out I overheard that...we’re all in danger.”

Fives stares out the small window in your bedroom, hands closed in fists at his side. He’s wound tight, like a coil about to spring. You stare at his back, begging for anything, any sign that he might believe you.

“What do you expect us to do?” He finally says, turning around.

“Leave.” You say. “Go somewhere they can’t find us.”

“I can’t just abandon my brothers. Especially if what you heard is true.”

“Who could we even tell that would believe us?” You ask. “For all we know every high-ranking GAR official is in on it. If this is as big as it’s sounding, everyone could be in on it.” You reach out for him, your hand shaking. “I’m scared, Fives. I don’t want to lose you.”

He sighs, taking your hand, letting you pull him back onto the bed. He wraps his arms around you, holding onto you tightly. “You won’t lose me.” He kisses your forehead. He pulls the sheets around you, surrounding you with his warm embrace. “Right now, let’s just forget about the war. Forget about everything. We’ll worry about this tomorrow.”

Oh also and one more thing, I hope you don’t mind me asking, there was something that I was curious about (well two things actually) that struck me while I was listening to this hockey fandom episode.

You guys seemed like you thought it was very sweet and made sense that most people who wrote about Parse just wanted to give him a happy life (I think you likened it to people who wanted to give Bucky a therapist and a chance to talk about his trauma and heal). But I have heard on many episodes your loathing of the Billy Hargrove character. However most of the fic I have read with him in it, is allowing him the chance to work through his trauma from his life living in an abusive household and healing from that and yes, getting a redemption arc. I guess I don’t understand why it is different to want that for his character but other characters it’s okay to want that for them.

Also, you mentioned that you totally understood the desire to take two random side characters and write fic about them even though they’ve never said two words together. But then I often hear you criticize (that might not be the best word, but maybe just chat in a slightly negative way?) people for putting two characters together that “have no chemistry” or the characters’ interactions in whatever media they are in do not support a romantic relationship vibe. How is that a different “what if” than putting two random characters together that have never even talked to each other? They are both “what if”s in a sense.

I want to make it clear that overall you guys are wonderfully open minded and I absolutely love your support of “ship and let ship” (I don’t think I could listen if it was any other way!) but there are occasions where it does feel contrary that you guys think some things are okay for some characters but then for characters you dislike they don’t deserve the same treatment. But maybe I’m not understanding correctly (and I apologize if I have misunderstood your comments). I genuinely think your podcast is incredible, idk if it’s that I’m consuming so many of your podcasts all at once, but these questions have been stewing a bit as I hear your reactions and thoughts on ships/characters, and for the most part you guys are consistent but sometimes I’m like “wait what? How is that different than what you think of character A in xyz fandom?” Just some thoughts!

Good question! This answer will probably be both long and not-quite-coherent, because I'm writing it at 4:15AM and I have A Lot Of Thoughts. I'm going to try to address your message in order just to get everything!

First: re Parse, we don't know him. Haven't met the man. Couldn't recognize him in a lineup. So from our research, the extent to which Parse is a dick was like, "And Parse was a dick because he's closeted and kind of a dick about it." Whereas with Billy, we know Billy well. We've seen Billy be Billy, which is to say, we've seen Billy -- willingly and of his own accord and agency -- attempt to murder a Black child for being Black. If Parse's crimes approach that level, then by all means disregard our saying that he's redeemable! We didn't see anything like that in the research for the episode!

So with that said, the first part of my answer to "what's the difference?" is -- what is being excused by their fangirls, and in service of whom?

The second part of the answer is, and this is gonna be unsatisfying, but: we are but mere fangirls and a lot of our opinions are based on Vibes and how things strike us. We're not going to be 100% consistent from piece of media to piece of media, or character to character, because being a fangirl is 90% about following your passions and whims, and some characters just strike us differently than others for literally no reason. You can call that hypocrisy if you want; it would not be the first time that I (V) have been called a hypocrite for, say, loving Wanda Maximoff despite Westview but hating Kylo Ren for committing more or less the same scifi-crimes. Sometimes it's just about Vibes and Self-Insertion/Projection and They're Pretty and whatever else being a fangirl is about. So when it comes to us being like "but they didn't have chemistry [in our opinions]" then it's just, like, that's what being a fangirl is. Even I don't ship EVERYTHING and I ship basically everything, haha.

But. That said.

Billy is a violent, murderous racist who exists in the story -- at least in s2, when he is introduced -- to be the human monster in a story where the coming-of-age characters must face both human, and literal, monsters. And Billy IS a human monster! Even after he becomes less-than-human in s3, he is still a violent, murderous racist, and we never see him turn a corner on that or even give any indication that he realizes it's something that he SHOULD turn a corner on. If he had survived, might he have? Sure! And if people want to write that, fine! We just don't personally want to read it!

And part of why is this: why is it always characters like Billy who get fandom's sympathy instead of their victims, like Lucas? Why Kylo Ren being called Ben Solo and given every excuse and justification and fantasy-AU-backstory-where-he's-a-good-guy and not Finn or Poe or Rey? What is it about the Billys of media that makes fandom say, "Yeah, he tried to literally murder a Black child for being Black, but what if it was because he's sad?"

We really try not to bring too much real-world into the show except when it's directly applicable, because we understand that fandom is people's place of escapism. It's OUR place of escapism, too. But Billy is a prime example of the "fandom is for white people" truism, in that giving Billy an extended backstory, inner life, and happy ending is only escapist for white people.

Because in a Billy Lives AU, what happens to Lucas?

Because in a Billy/Steve endgame story, does Lucas get to continue to feel safe with Steve if he knows that Steve is defending Billy now?

Because in a Billy Redemption Arc story, to have a happy ending, Lucas has to forgive Billy. And should he have to?

And look. It's not just a Billy problem. If it WERE just a Billy problem, it would be a different problem.

The problem is that it ISN'T just Billy. It's also Kylo Ren. It's also Snape. It's also Hux. It's also Tony Stark. It's also Draco Malfoy. It's also Anakin Skywalker. It's also a hundred other characters. I'm 1000% sure that I'm forgetting someone super obvious right now, but like I said, it's 4:30AM.

The PROBLEM is, it's every fandom and every violent, murderous racist character.

And yes, you can say, "But it's not just racist characters! It's also murderers who eat people! And homophobes! And misogynists!"

Sure. Yes. That's all true. Fandom does love to give baddies of all stripes happy endings. And if you want to hide within that defense, you're not, like, Technically Wrong, and that's fine. Everyone has their own favorite bad guy.

And I DO think fandom, and fans, should ask themselves what it is about their favorite bad guys that makes them feel worthy of our love and attention. Everyone has their own answer, and everyone has their own threshold for Badness and Villainousness.

But let's be real: most people's answer is, "because I see myself in them."

...And it says something that so many people in fandom are willing to see themselves in Billy, but not in Lucas.

It says something that so many people would rather read and write and humanize Cardboard Nazi Hux and Space Rapist Kylo Ren than develop a deeper backstory and happy future for Finn and Poe and Rey.

And not to like, acknowledge What Happened Last Tuesday, but like... we live in a world where people ARE more willing to forgive and see humanity in Billys than Lucases. And that fucking sucks.

That is not escapist to me.

That is a hellscape.

To me, escapism is, "And then Billy died a horrible death and Lucas got to sing 'Never-Ending Story' at Dustin forever and ever, amen."

To me, escapism is, "And then Kylo Ren died a horrible death and was immediately forgotten by everyone because Rey got to go home to Finn and Poe and Chewie, who were her true family. Also Luke and Leia and Han's ghosts were there. Probably Yoda came too."

And yeah, escapism is also, "And then Bucky Barnes, a Jewish man held prisoner by Nazis for 70 years, gets to heal from his trauma and have a happy ending."

I totally understand the impulse to say, "But it's not that deep, people just write Steve/Billy because they're both hot." And that's fine. Every individual person making that choice is an individual making that choice.

But every individual making that choice feeds into the gestalt making the choice to say that Billy, a murderous racist, matters more and is more interesting and more worthy of storytelling and more worthy of a happy ending, than Lucas.

And that is shitty. It just is. It. Just. Is.

Do I have a solution for it? No. I'm not going to go to every single Billy writer and say, "Have you internally examined why you're more drawn to imagining a redemption arc for a murderous racist than you are imagining a happy Freshman year for Lucas?" because a) I tried that with reylos and IT DID NOT WORK, and b) to a single individual writer, their answer isn't the root of the problem. Every individual writer should get to write whatever they fucking want forever and ever and ever.

But it's always worth looking at the gestalt of all those individual choices and going, "What does this say about this fandom? What does this say about Fandom? And what does this say about us?"

Because it doesn't say good things, that fandom-at-large will always imagine a happy ending for a murderous racist homophobic misogynist cannibal before imagining a happy ending for a (good guy!) character of color.

And I know -- I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW -- as soon as I post this, people are going to pick it apart and be angry at me, and at Emily for letting me post this, and at the show. And I know that people are going to say, "But Billy's racism was LEARNED! That's the same as being electrocuted in the face by Nazis for 70 years!" and if you think that, genuinely, then whatever, man, you do you. And people are going to say, "Oh, god, V's being super fucking annoying and Pseudo-Woke again like she was during her Star Wars era, fuck her forever she suuuucks and is a total craic-killer." And maybe I am and maybe that's true. So whatever. Be mad.

But I do think that while we all have the right to write whatever we want forever and ever, it's worth looking at your own tendencies like once a year and going, "Why DO I write this? What does it say about my values and my fandom's values that this is what I'm most interested in? Who is my fandom welcoming, and whom is it excluding? Am *I* excluding people with my choices and actions?"

And I don't even think the answer is to prescriptively say, "And then write something else."

It's literally just to ask yourself.

What you do with the answer is as personal a choice as any an artist can make.

Maybe there IS no answer.

Maybe the answer is buried so deep that you can't get near it.

Maybe the answer is just, "I'm writing this character because their actor is hot, period."

Maybe the answer is, "I want to believe this guy is redeemable because he's way worse than me, and I feel irredeemable."

There are as many answers to "Why do you write what you write?" as there are writers. And every answer is equally true.

But man, guys. It's worth it to just... ask.

And I do think that in fandoms/with characters like the Billys and Kylo Rens and Snapes of the world, it's really important to ask, what makes this character worthy of putting energy into dreaming them a happy ending?

And why not Lucas?

(And again, it's 5AM. This is very long. I did not outline it. It's just a stream of consciousness. I'm sure I'm ignoring something that I brought up in the middle, or missing part of the initial question, or have made a fool of myself in some way. But all of this is to say, Billy's Vibes Are Bad To Us And We Are Human And As Such Reserve The Right To Judge Stuff On Vibes Sometimes.

And also, that right now in the world, it's really important to find and create and hold onto community, and if the community you/your fandom/your ship are building is overtly sending the message that a violent racist is more important than a child of color, it's worth it to ask what kind of community it really is.)

tl;dr we don't know Parse but Billy literally tried to kill a Black child for being Black. If Parse also did this, we did not know.

I blocked 11 accounts today because I logged into tumblr after days and wanted to see what Jimin has been upto and his hashtags were polluted with random Jikook ship stuff. It was so annoying. Some lewser claiming the youngest doesn’t think of JM as the best dancer or handsome but thinks of him as his beloved. I threw up internally and physically had a visceral reaction, ngl. Good lord, does it not make you ashamed to write the other half of your ship isn’t as talented as the group but that’s okay because the maknae loves him? What god level image do you have of JK that you can only appreciate JM because he likes him? “It doesn’t matter if JM isn’t the best dancer coz JK looks at him like he hung the stars”???? Who the fk died made JK the lord of judgements? IDC what his opinion is. I need my guy to get his flowers. Have they ever thought of Park Motherfkn Jimin as an artist? I need them to go extinct. I don’t care for shipping, you do you. But to never acknowledge their artistry is a sickness.

Someone sent me a link to the post, so yeah I saw it.

My opinion's still the same as when he went on and on during a live about Taehyung being the most handsome/beautiful (I don't remember the korean word he used for it) person he's ever seen. And at the time jikookers were trying to find excuses but I said; I know it's normal to think other people are more beautiful than your partner; it can happen, we're not always going to date the most incredible looking person on earth, and that's okay. What is not ok to me is go live to millions of people and say "his best friend is the most good looking person I've ever seen". If you're in a relationship, you can't just say that your partner's best friend takes your breath away like...

Jungkook has never thought Jimin was the best in the group at anything. At least he's never said it and he never will. Once too, they went to that show where they had to write something they wanted to hear from another member and Jungkook wanted to hear "you're a good dancer" from Hoseok. And he wanted to hear from him because he respects Hoseok as a dancer and wanted his approval. So I do think he means it when he says Hoseok is the best dancer to him.

I guess what's annoying about shippers is

1) that Jimin actually talks about Jungkook like he's the best in a lot of stuff. He's talked a lot about looking to him for help in singing, and has even said Jungkook is a better dancer than him even when everyone knows that's not true. Jimin goes as far as including Jungkook in the "visual" line, even though the official narrative is Jin and V are, so he'd be okay if he just said vjin. But Jimin is actually a person with a defined personality that doesn't compromise his morals or opinions for others. So if he thinks Jungkook is good looking as V and Jin, he will just say so. And yet all those things fly over jikookers heads. They'll ignore all that and will tirelessly go back to the one time Jungkook compliments Jimin to make up for all the other times he could've, but didn't.

2) that they can't just acknowledge and accept it. They have to write ten thousand excuses and turn everything into a romance novel to make it seem like yes, Jungkook is saying this or that but secretly he thinks different. Secretly, he thinks the world of Jimin and Jimin only. Secretly, he would never think anyone is better than Jimin.

Just the amount of coping.

As I've said once before too, it's gotten to the point where not only they scramble to find reasons (beyond skinship) to think that they're dating, but also to make Jungkook the kind of boyfriend they think he is. They can't just be like "okay jikook might be dating and Jungkook is kind of a piece of shit for saying this or doing that". No. They have to turn everything around and write stuff like "he hung the stars on the sky" only so Jungkook won't stop being the ideal boyfriend they've made up in their minds.

And that relates to what you say about us not really caring about Jungkook's opinion, but how we have to acknowledge these things anyways because all this discourse does is feed into the idea that Jimin is not as good as someone else. I've written about it before, too; that it really doesn't matter that it's him saying it, but just about giving credit where credit is due. Pjms actually have these conversations about Yoongi and other members as well.

🍄 🔪 & 🌸 (i'll use any excuse to see pics of moo fkjdgh hes v cute)? have a good weekend <33

hi rin!! I've had a pretty terrible week but it's starting to look up now!

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

I feel like I never talk about inuokko/yutoge even though they're in my top 3 fave jjk ships (I wonder what the other 2 are hmm)

well, I really like the dynamic that yuta is this anxious guy and is so scared of saying the wrong things or making others uncomfortable with his demeanor, and toge being (selectively) mute but secretly being more eloquent of a communicator (forced in part bc he had to be for other ppl to understand him)

yuta wants toge to feel comfortable around him and for their friendship to evolve (and for when they eventually start dating hehe). so after many failed attempts at guessing his onigiri language at the surface level, he starts to really pay attention to toge's mannerisms and body language and any other non-verbal cues that help him decipher the true meaning of toge's words. and toge is so shocked by someone who doesn't dismiss his onigiri language as childish or a disability, etc., he's so appreciative and emotional over someone, who just so happens to be yuta, actually understanding him and not just pretending to know what's he saying. and then that could be the gateway towards their friendship growing 100x stronger and their mutual feelings spilling out.

I would imagine it would be a similar situation in a non-powers au where toge doesn't use his onigiri language and instead uses JSL to communicate, and yuta would learn JSL for him.

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

It's not necessarily the weirdest but it was the most extensive research I ever did, which was look for flight logs from Cairo, Egypt to Tokyo, Japan between January and March 1989. This was for one of my JotaKak (jjba) fics. I wanted to be accurate as possible despite this being an everyone lives au lol.

🌸 ⇢ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them

rin I totally get it and I will provide pics of Moo whenever I'm asked! I took these last week when he was trying out his new cat play thingy idk what it's called but he looked so damn cute in there. the last one cracks me up bc he looks angy

#uriekukistan #ask game #answered #I just noticed how much the red tones in his fur come out through my phone camera it really doesn't look like that in person

Prompt: You are a ghost or demon who is about to be exorcized. How will you avoid this horrid fate?

My greatest downfall with writing prompts is my inability to write a short story instead of the beginning of a novel. I clearly need to work on getting to the point faster. I barely covered the prompt whoops. Here's a 20 minute writing prompt from writing club yay!

The editing on this is v minimal

~~~~~~~

Jenny’s head was a terrible place. She was so bogged down by anxiety and self ridicule it was like a never ending barrage of bad thoughts. Ghost hadn’t meant to fall into it. He had just been minding his business, opening a few cupboards while he waited for his unfinished business too well… finish.

It was really rather hard being a ghost. You could only watch TV when someone else was and you could never choose what you wanted to watch. Jenny was a Soc major which meant she had an affinity for documentaries and crime dramas. That was okay. For Jenny. Not for Ghost. If Ghost wanted to watch stories about real people it would involve some drink throwing and designer bags. But alas here he was sitting on the couch next to Jenny.

She was crying again. Large crocodile tears rolled down her face and Ghost cringed as they went into her bucket of ice cream. He thinks her boyfriend had dumped her again? Honestly the first year of college was always so tumultuous for these freshmen.

He could barely remember what his had been like. It had been so long ago. And now he was just stuck here. Haunting this year's freshman. The reality of college was definitely less exciting than most people thought.

But the thing about Jenny was that she had the loudest dreams. They were vibrant and colorful and sometimes at night he could hear them leaking out of her and becoming real, tangible. A sound, a smell, even a flickering image would broadcast into the room and ghost would be swept away for a moment. It was a miracle she had a single dorm.

He really really didn’t mean to go inside her head. It really was an accident. But one night, he couldn’t resist the lure of whatever was going on in this sad girl's dream.

After she’d finished crying and passed out on the couch in a sad lump. It was almost like a voice was beckoning him to float closer, to peer into her head. And he leaned closer, trying to hear, and closer still. And with a whoosh he was sucked in.

A ship was built around him. Tall billowing sails, swearing pirates, the salt in the air. He breathed deep with real lungs. Oh God it was like being alive again. Ghost looked around the deck and there he saw her. Crouched in the corner of the ship was Jenny. Still crying even in her sleep. Her eyes were closed and it seemed as if she wasn’t aware of where she was. Critical mean dark words floated around her. Telling her that she wasn’t good enough. That she would never be good enough. That no one would love her. Ghost sighed. He supposed if he was going to be an interloper in this girl's inner world the least he could do was try to bring her out of this misery. He said excuse me to a pirate who was swabbing the deck as he walked towards Jenny.

He crouched down in front of her laying a hand on her shoulder.

“Hey.”

Jenny’s eyes snapped open.

“You know that this hurt isn’t forever right? It will pass. And things will get better.”

Jenny’s brow scrunched and a big gust of sea air tossed her hair around her face. “That’s just what everybody says to make losers feel better.”

Ghost sighed and sat down next to her. “Take it from someone who thought that too and then made some very brash decisions. I’ve watched many young people go through the same stuff as you and guess what? They all turn out okay.”

“Oh,” Jenny looked off into the sea, staring at a gull gliding in the wind, “Are you like in one of my classes?”

Ghost sighed again. College freshmen were all the same. He swears there was a script for small talk. “No, I'm quite literally a ghost who fell into your dream. Which by the way is great but you’re just pouting in the corner.” He gestures widely at the ship. “You should be thankful you can dream at all. Dead people don’t dream.”

Her eyes widened as she looked back at him, “You’re dead?”

“Uh yeah. Sorry for being in your head by the way.”

And then she woke up. With him still in her head. He could hear her thoughts rattling around. He watched through her eyes as she stared at herself in a mirror, thinking bad thoughts. Stop that. He chided.

“Oh my God who said that?”

Uh. Oops? Sorry. I’m still in here.

“Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Get out of my fucking head dude!”

Sorry I don’t know how to do that. While I’m in here I have a couple TV recs for you.

~~~~~~~~

Once her self image gets better he is able to leave her head and his unfinished business of helping somebody like him is finished. The end. :)

Rule #21: don’t underestimate other teams, no matter how weak they seem.

Rule #22: Karasuno and Shiratorizawa are going down first - and then we’re going for the Champions Cup. First place will be ours.

Scribbled several times all over the remaining space below rule #22 in different handwritings: Yes, Captain.

Ai for the unofficial president of the Ai Simp Club™!

Jfkldsajklfdjslkf omg ai my beloved yall ain’t READY

How I feel about about this character: ah my sweet ai how I love you so I just wanna squeeze the artificial life out of him whether through a hug or one of the plush death grips idc hes the apple of my eye love of my life call me yusaku because he was made for me to love him he literally has all the characteristics I love in fictional characters how can I not fall madly in love jfkdlsjl I loved him since episode 2 (if you know you know) and sheesh my love for ai only deepened as I continued to watch vrains I love him so much fjdsklafjkl sigh whatever you want baby boy name it and its yours goddamn the way that I’m just so whipped for him it’s hilarious I’ve never felt like this for any other fictional character lol I would throw myself at his feet idc I don’t think I can last a day without seeing ai’s adorable face idc what form he’s in (I love them all) I need to see him at least 5000000 times per day I need time to just love and appreciate ai every day I’m so whipped fdksljafkljsdak

All the people I ship romantically with this character: YUSAKU! Yusaku! I love them so so so much I'm never getting out of this hellhole anytime soon :'v then to a much lesser extent ryoken also I think writing lightai as a past/unrequited relationship is fun too even though I technically don’t ship it lol

My non-romantic OTP for this character: ai and roboppi! Gosh I love them so much fdjksa also ai with the rest of the ignises I love them so much. . . ! also I think ai and pandor would be pretty great too I gotta find an excuse to write those two more often . . .

My unpopular opinion about this character: gosh do I even have one? I think just about every headcon I have I’ve seen support for it . . . I guess there needs to be more trans ai headcons? Why won’t yall make ai trans hm? What’s stopping yall from appreciating trans ai

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: more flashbacks of ai with the rest of the ignises blease I love what we got but I wish we got more like it’s obvious ai loves and adores his family but I wish we got a reason as to why? Most of the flashbacks we got was lowkey just him getting bullies by the others lol most of the good interactions is during canon which is fine I love it but I wish we got to see that more in the past to help show why ai was willing to go to the extreme lengths he did to protect and save them but hey that’s just a small part of a bigger overall issue with vrains and I’m here to love and appreciate vrains not simmer in my discontent with it lol

#obviously i dont mind bullying ai cause i do it all the time too lol #ai is a very bulliable character and sometimes he deserves it #my perfect little meow meow my most beloved of blorbos oh how i love to make you suffer #one day ill make the most magnificent ai shrine just watch!!! tho it wont have much charms cause most of them are in my ita bags lol #jfklsdjfdsajfksjfj ai dskljfaldsjfjsdfj #okay okay ill shut up about ai now #ygo vrains #ask and ye shall receive #im just gonna wait for someone to ask about yusaku yall aint ready for my unpopular opinion about him lmao

Ship Log: 0004.5

Current Captain: Alexander V. Brochure

Time of Writing: 11/3/1977 AT

Status: Privic communication between [ Captain Alexander V. Brochue] and [Buford V. Brochure]

Buford: Hey, Kiddo. How's that shinny new ship handling, son?

Alexander: Hey Dad, I'm currently feeling quite happy with how things are progressing, but I can't help but wish for a more skilled crew. I can barely understand the navigation crew. Additionally, I find my current deckhand's approach quite unpleasant; she tends to patronize me and treat me like a child. I believe that just because this is my first job. That doesn't mean I require a babysitter to hold me back from executing my job. Can we get rid of her?

Buford: Certainly. We'll handle that once you reach Tequila and no sooner. However, before that, I would appreciate it if you and your ship could make a detour to Amon to acquire specific items for me. Please make sure to keep this information on the down-low, Kiddo.

Alexander: Isn't that planet primarily used for harvesting gases? It's a little out of the way.

Buford: Come on son, just keep it discreet and under control. It's just so simple and you'll be done before ya know it.

Alexander: Okay, if you say so, Dad. But can I get something for it?

Buford: Absolutely, I'll make sure you have a spot by my side on the council! Do me this favor, and keep it low-key.

Alexander: Okay, I guess. Is there anyone I need to meet or?

Buford: Juniper is the name to remember. Don't bother asking for his real name - he won't give it. He'll be in port 12 of the Sky City of New Macabre. Keep this pickup and this conversation secret at all costs. Invent an excuse to hide it if people start asking. Hell, fire people if you have to.

Alexander: Understood. But, what about the specifics of the items I will be picking up?

Buford: You don't get paid to ask questions, Alexander.

Alexander: Right, right! I just want to know how much space it needs and what kind of containment would be necessary.

Buford: Don't worry, Alex. Just try not to open them, and everything will be fine. understand?

Alexander: Welp, as long as that council spot is mine, I'll keep it discreet. I'll make you proud Dad.

Buford: I'm sure you will son. I'm sure you won't disappoint me on this.

hoo, boy. buckle up; this one got away from me. also i hope you don't hate everlasting trio because that snuck in while i was writing it

ohhhh man vlad would think that the ring is messing with him—i didn't even think about that. there's some delightful potential for either angst or crack if he tries to get the doctors fenton on the same trail and they end up convinced that some ghostly artefact is messing with their baby boy! although... vlad might have a hard time convincing them anything is wrong, since—like johnny—they wouldn't have a specific reason to think something was wrong, and it's not really like danny's been acting any different lately... maddie, at least, i could see being very skeptical to vlad making any claims like that. jack—well, jack might just believe his ol' pal V-Man.

re: charging the black lantern ring with ectoplasm—what if danny knows he could charge it easily by wearing it as phantom, but honestly? he just doesn't want to give Nekron the satisfaction of a bona-fide ghost wearing the black lantern ring, so... how can danny fenton, black lantern, charge his ring without fighting someone to the death? well, as long as he's not using it excessively, the ecto in his human form is probably enough, or; there's always his parents' lab if it gets to that point, or—ugh, ghost sense just went off? i guess i'll get back to finding... ecto... later. hang on—this could work.

que danny fenton, in his black lantern uniform, corralling the box ghost with all manner of constructs both boxy and square. he might not have remembered to bring his thermos with him in this form, but it turns out that ghosts can be shipped back—hah!—to the ghost zone if he's willing to enclose them in a construct and walk—or fly—them back to the portal. and honestly, this ring's pretty handy; plus listening to Nekron's complaints about fights ending without killing my opponents is exactly the kind of satisfaction i wouldn't have gotten if i'd just taken the easy way out and charged the ring from my own ecto.

(also i read a bit on the wiki about the black lantern rings and. if danny ever did wear the ring in his phantom form—or otherwise fully charged it—it seems to be implied that the charge can be shared between the rings and once they're all fully charged, Nekron can use them to summon himself to the living plane? could be an interesting consequence of danny "commit to the bit" fenton finding out that, oh, uh, so there was a reason you were all so nervous about the ring, huh? well, guess i'll take care of this—get ready to be souped, Nekron! and just like that, the horrific end goal of the black lanterns is curb-stomped by a teenager, in front of the exasperated eyes of the other lanterns on the team. or is danny's ring disconnected from the others?)

amorpho has somewhat complicated feelings toward billy. when they first met, he thought he was just a boring goody-goody, glory-hound, but. after the whole mess with temporarily losing his powers he realized that billy just isn't trying to stand out the same way that amorpho always has, and maybe amorpho thinks that learning to be more comfortable in his own forms, whatever they are, and as the center of attention, can only be good for young billy, seeing as he's committed to the bit saving these humans even when he could leave well enough alone, and it clearly takes a toll on him. all work and no play makes billy a dull boy, and if billy needs an excuse to cut loose now and then, well, amorpho supposes it wouldn't be the worst thing in the realms to be the one to provide it.

billy "DRAMA" fathom absolutely is danny's way of blowing off steam in ways that neither fenton nor phantom can without suspicion; fenton has to live down to expectations and phantom needs to be an untouchable icon to the public (he's seen what happens when they get too close in either admiration or distain and neither is pretty,) but. fathom?

no one in elmerton cares about interrogating the punk teenager who shows up to kick back and relax outside of the crushing weight of everything people believe him to be. sure, maybe he wears weird contacts (they must be contacts, surely, no one has red eyes—although; albinism could explain the hair if it was dyed from white, and he is pretty pale...) but his money spends the same at the arcade, and the minimum wage workers have more immediate concerns than scrutinizing everyone who buys a pizza.

danny-as-billy doesn't always take sam-and-tucker with him when he goes, but they know about what's going on, and they understand how the pressure wears on him. they'd like to be able to be there for him enough that he doesn't feel the need to escape for a while, but at sam's place her parents are always around the corner with a snide comment and judging looks about acceptable partners for a young woman of her social status, samantha, even if you'd rather drag it through the mud after everything we've done for you, and while tucker's parents are kind, they've internalized the same view of Troubled Danny Fenton that the rest of amity seems to have after his disastrous first year with powers.

they get it. it makes it more special when he does bring them with, to know that of all the things in his life that danny feels the need to get away from, that won't ever be how he thinks of them.

you were absolutely supposed to think of "fathom" as being a mix of "fenton" and "phantom;" that's why i chose that word in particular—to fit the theme of "phantom" in sounding similar, but also being a pun and revealing something about the persona it describes. "fathom" is a mix of the most intrinsic parts of "fenton," and "phantom," when he doesn't need to worry about what people don't "understand or comprehend."

i love the idea that billy is danny's excuse to turn the drama up to 11 and fully not care in the slightest about what other people think about him although it would make hanging out at the arcade with his partners a bit more difficult if the local police were on lookout

billy fathom being danny's equivalent of matches malone is incredible. i adore the idea of amorpho and billy accidentally stumbling into the criminal underworld because people kept assuming they knew other people, and they kept, "yes, and"—ing. what were they gonna do? say no?

i'm obsessed with the idea of someone trying to hire billy "theater kid" fathom to kill a guy. that's hilarious. and, i mean. look. if you thought billy was any less likely to commit to the bit just because he has a different middle name, you are sorely mistaken so—who was it you were wanting menaced, again? why, exactly? uh-huh. oh, this is like an eco-terrorist–thing. yeah, okay; i gotta. sam's birthday is coming up, isn't it?

(look, it's canon that sam wanted danny to use his powers to sabotage environmentally-unfriendly vehicles at a dealership, this was never as far away as it seemed)

i think that when johnny finally got around to asking the kid; 'cause kitten was real squirrelly for a few days and then acted fine again—like i wouldn't notice something when we've been steady (well, mostly) so long—and ember was outta her groove, too, until she wasn't, ya' dig? anyway, when i asked the kid, he played it close to the chest, but he said it was just 'cause he was pulling one over on plasmius, and they got caught up in that. little dude didn't seem any different—still a buzzkill, and shadow's not fussed, so's probably nothin' to worry about.

i really like johnny as a character

(edit: okay; i double-checked because it was bugging me and i'm pretty sure i accidentally stole "fathom" as an alter-ego for danny from a fanfic i read ages ago. still clever, but not mine. in the fic it's just used as a name; the author doesn't explore the symbolism of the word choice, and the alter-ego is very different, but i'm still going to credit that as belonging to WildFireBurnsTheForest on ffn. if they're on tumblr anywhere, i can't find them.)

DP x DC prompt #78

There's a reason why the black lantern ring turns all who encounter it into mindless, crazed zombies. It's because the black lantern ring wasn't designed for living people, it was designed for ghosts. Enter Danny Fenton, the newest member of the Black Lantern Corps.

Next! Soundwave...... the goodest boy..........

First impression: Ooh, that’s hard to remember. I think my first impression was... crotch buttons? I didn’t read exRiD until after mtmte, but I was aware of soundwave before then. I’m 99% sure I was like ‘oh yeah, the guy who holds the little guys. and has crotch buttons’

Impression now: THE GOODEST BOY. This guy. I love him so much, but MAN is his character hard to describe while doing him justice. The strength of his ideals is the biggest thing, I think. Out of Decepticon high command, Shockwave was doing Shenanigans, Megatron had drifted into cult leader land, Starscream was super disillusioned, but even when Megatron became an Autobot, Soundwave looked at the Decepticons, recalibrated, and was like ‘here’s what we’re supposed to stand for, get back on target’. Megatron struggles hard with sunk cost and questioning the basis of his whole sense of self, and Soundwave just fuckin GOES for it. Whether or not I agree with his ideals, there’s something amazing about that clarity of thought, where he’s so targeted and focused. And the ideals he settles on!!! Establishing that commune, oh my god. Where ‘everyone is welcome’, even a little autobot flying into what he thinks might be enemy territory. Being willing to acknowledge that oh whoops, humans are significant beings, my bad, and step back from them being acceptable collateral damage. He allies himself with Optimus without sacrificing what he believes in, which is... honestly not easy. He works with idw Optimus period, which is also not easy :P And his speech to the sharkticons, urging them towards self-determination, MAN

Favorite moment: I’m conflicted. Because... the art is ramen man. The writing is fast-paced. We don’t get to see this scene drawn with emotion communicated well or with time to linger over the events. But when Soundwave is young and on the streets and is barely coping with unrestricted telepathic hearing, just... everything about this scene wrecks me. He’s on the streets, probably surviving very narrowly given the ideals of the time. He finds Ravage, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw, also living on the streets, and treated as second-class citizens since they’ve got animal-shaped root modes. And they’re in a rough spot on their own, but they adopt the HELL out of him, and Ravage starts teaching him how to filter out excess sensory input and they stick together for millions of years, and Soundwave has incredibly flat affect, but he just loves them SO MUCH ;-; It’s either that scene, or the scene where he welcomes Cosmos to the commune, which is well-drawn and moves more sedately, but just... that flashback scene. Amazing backstory. I love.

Idea for a story: I’M. WORKING ON THIS RIGHT NOW, ACTUALLY. The wip had been stalled out for months, but it ties in really nicely to the favorite moment up above. So.... music. Who's arguably music themed? Jazz is! Soundwave is! Who are two characters I ship passionately who have very different personalities? Just guess, hahahaha. So, Jazz loves music from an artistic/emotional perspective. How would Soundwave love music? And the answer without explaining the whole story is that he loves music as a sensory stim to drown out the rest of the world, especially everything he can hear via telepathy. He likes music that’s thick enough that he can focus on just that and ignore everything else coming into his head. Music... that’s so layered and thick and dense that it’s pretty much a wall of noise, with manymany songs piled together. So they’re both very passionate about music, but just guess how well either of them understands the other :P

Unpopular opinion: Ooh. This is tough. I adore Soundwave and I see people mostly adoring Soundwave. I don’t know! It seems like there’s more consensus on this character than a lot of the others :P Yeah, I’m trying to think of things I’ve seen that I disagree with and drawing a blank. Is acknowledging that he’s a war criminal an unpopular thing? Because he did stuff with anti-neutral purges and pogroms, but like... lots of the cast is war criminals, including the vast majority of my faves, so I don’t know how many people even argue about that, haha

Favorite relationship: ......................Jazz. I mean... These Games We Play is very much to blame, and Spec Ops 98: Jazz’s Interrogation At Soundwave’s Pedes didn’t help, but I’ve also got two wips of my own and could scream about them for days. The downside is that it’s hard to do screaming about a ship this small without the other parties having read a fic to convince them that it works. So I highly, highly recommend both of those stories. The first one is a super rich g1 post-war slavery au where Jazz is at a massive disadvantage, but also massively intelligent and dangerous, the second is an (in-progress) super interesting g1 take on fandom and fanfiction and social dynamics. I can convince myself into jazzwave just about anywhere, but I was trained to love it first. I’m too invested now, there’s no going back XD

Favorite headcanon: This is hard. Hmmm. OH, ACTUALLY, I KNOW. I pretty much always write Soundwave as autistic, but that’s not the headcanon part. I was thinking about Blaster and Soundwave and their alt modes, and that if they turn into speaker systems, they must turn into really EXCELLENT speaker systems. And I thought, what if Soundwave is a flavor of nonverbal? What if he doesn’t speak using his vocalizer? What if instead, he’s just generating speech through his speakers? I’m just going to quote my own self here, this is a scene right after Soundwave has taken some damage sparring (including to his throat) and is getting patched up:

The only wound to give her pause is the slight damage to your vocalizer. You’d almost forgotten it, except that it spits another burst of static as she repairs your shoulder, and she’s close enough to hear it.

“Funny,” she says while she opens your throat to carry out the repairs. “Wouldn’t’ve guessed you had any damage in here, your voice sounded just fine.”

“Speech is executed solely using deep-wired speaker system,” you explain.

#he's supposed to sound kind of stilted there #because he's stressed as hell #he's about to go destress #guess what ship this is an excuse to write :V #spock replies #transformers #soundwave #ask memes/

Some random headcannons

(I ship erasermic so some of these relate to that)

I guess this also needs a warning: some more mature things if you squint hard enough

Also the ships in this are: erasermic, kiribaku, tododeku, and a tiny tiny bit of momojiro (sorry if I forgot one)

~ Mic is actually kinda sad and breaks down alot when hes alone because of the stress he goes through, aizawa is the only one he will break down infront of ~ ~ Aizawa secretly loves giving mic piggyback rides. Change. My. Mind. ~ ~ Bakugo is nicest and softest when he is sleepy, and more open with his feelings when he is tired (especially to kiri, I ship them too😭✋) ~ ~ When sero cooks or cleans he will put on spanish music and dance to it. ~ ~ Dabi is kinky™️ ~ ~ Dabi will tease e v e r y o n e ~ ~ Dabi makes up stories of how he got burnt, like: Twice: so- uh how did all this go down * gesturing to scars * Dabi: oh, while sneezing Twice: but how does tha- Dabi: *sneezes and uses his fire* Twice: oH- ~ ~ When 1-a all become pro heroes, deku will wear everyone's merch ~

~ When bakugo is working out, when he does push ups he will get kirishima to lay on him for "additional weight" (we see you bakugo👀👀) ~ ~ Shoto can make snowflakes with his quirk. I. Rest. My. Case. ~ ~ shoto likes dancing in the rain or snow, well not dance just like being with deku ~ ~ Shoto will make little things out of ice and give them to deku (all might figures👀👀) ~ ~ Occasionally in the dorms everyone in 1-a has a movie night ~ ~ Ojiros tail wags when hes happy ~ ~ This is cannon because I've seen the official art, but I hc that bakugo likes animals and animals love him cause he smells like caramel and his hands are warm ~ ~ One word for aoyama. S e l f i e s ~

~ Shoto didnt know how to ride a bike so when they all moved into the dorms 1-a taught him ~ ~ When bakugo walks into the dorms common area he says stuff like "it smells like bitch in here" and "ughhh if I stay in here to long the bitchyness might affect me" ~ ~ All the girls in 1-a: sleepovers™️ but every time mineta will try to get in lmao. It. Never. Works. ~ ~ Shotos birthday present to everyone is endeavors credit card number😂he will also go clothes shopping with all the girls just because he can use endeavors credit card ~ ~ Tokoyami is actually really good at drawing and loves writing poetry ~ ~ Bakugo is the oldest in 1-a which is cannon. I feel like he would be the type to brag that he's the oldest and would use it as an excuse to do what he wants ~ ~ The dekusquad and bakusquad have groupchats ~ ~ Bakusquad play video games together and eat pizza together all the time ~ ~ The dekusquad gc consists of iida talking about homework, positive memes, and todoroki not understanding anything happening on there ~ ~ Jirou has a music playlist for every situation. Every. Situation. ~ ~ The best jeanist said bakugo couldn't learn how to style hair so katsuki "I am the best at everything" bakugo learnt how to do hair and now all the girls and kirishima go to him and make him do their hair ~ ~ Kirishima needs his hair dyed red when his roots start showing, so bakugo dyes it for him ~ ~ 1-a loves playing games like truth and dare and never have I ever when they cant sleep or are just bored ~ ~ Bakugo sleeps at 8. pm which is cannon, but still wants to be the best at whatever they are doing, so he still goes if they are playing or watching something but always. Always. Falls asleep, and he falls asleep on kiri. ~ ~ Aizawa is actually really flexible and can jump around and move literally like a cat. ~ ~ Mic: finger guns™️ and I can imagine this Mic: *does finger guns at aizawa* Aizawa: pull the trigger. ~ ~ Everyone goes into bakugos room for advice. Like jirou would go in there at 3am and just be like : yo so I'm lesbian and momo is lesbian and she said she likes me but I'm not sure if she likes me.

And even though bakugo will literally shout at them for being in his room at 3am they will still get advice😂~ ~ Kirishima is named after a mountain. Bakugos favourite activity is mountain climbing. Its cannon and ik it is I just thought I'd say that ~ ~ Shinso definitely uses his voice changer for memes. He would say things like "I'm katsuki bakugo and I'm a little bitch" with bakugos voice and "im aizawa and Im in love with a cockatoo" with aizawas voice. ~ ~ When denki is nervous random sparks of electricity come from his hands. ~ ~ If denki doesnt know how to do something he will search it up on wiki how. Change. My. Fucking. Mind. ~ ~ Shiggy genuinly doesnt know what moisturizer is ~ ~ Mic is amazing at playing any instrument ~ ~ Mic knows sign language and is fluent in alot of languages ~ ~ After toga stabs someone she mumbles things like "ughhh what a mood" "damn that one snatched my weave" and "we stan a queen" and once held up the knife like a beauty guru ~ ~ The girls constantly try to get uraraka to float m*neta into the sun ~ (yes I censored his name💀💀) ~ Tokoyami has good music taste ~ ~ The bakusquad (kaminari) tries to teach all might vine references ~ ~ Shoto l o v e s conspiracy videos ~ ~ Ojiro can purr ~ ~ Mina shares her clothes with everyone ~ ~ Shoto likes to watch the sun rise ~ ~ Omgggg I love this one. Aizawa listens to Mics radioshow when he grades papers and when he cant he will hum the music to himself ~ ~ Kaminari is memes™️ ~ ~ When mic says todorokis name he says it like the target vine (next competitor is- T T T T T T T T T TODOROKI SHOTOOOOOO *makes air horn noises*) ~ ~ The UA staff have prank wars (especially mic and literally anyone. Once poured pink cat shaped glitter on aizawa and it was 100% worth it) ~ Mic can harmonize with himself. Periodt. ~ ~ Tetsutetsu and shinso spend so much time at the 1-a dorms that one time bakugo cooked food for them too. ~

~ On that note, bakugo is obviously an amazing cook and when hes cooking for himself he will "accidentally make too much so you extras can have it" ~ ~ Shoto is literally turtlenecks™️ ~ ~ Mic literally has the worst sleep schedule like how is this man alive???? ~ ~ At night iida will run around the dorms saying goodnight to everyone and checking that they are all still in the dorms because he feels it’s his responsibility to look after everyone ~ ~ Shigirakis favourite thing to do is to just stand in the rain. He finds the rain soothing and calming to him because it’s one of the only things that he can’t destroy so it gives him peace of mind that he still human and isn’t the completely destructive monster everyone claims him to be. ~

Hope you liked them✌✌

How about how the 12 warriors celebrate V-Day? (Bonus challenge being Doudecuple and Navi)

Thank you for the request @gale-dragon-writer

This was a long one! I hope you guys like!

Inounoshishi

Without S/O

This wouldn’t happen, let’s be real. If it did she planned this by choice, so she’s probably busy kicking ass and taking names...and numbers

Probably prowls bars for lonely men/women/they’s ect to buy her drinks.

Never pays for any food or drink of Valentines. She’s hot af and knows it

It’s 50/50 if she’s going to go home with someone

With S/O

Expects to be spoiled. Please spoil her

Despite her immense wealth, she doesn’t expect you to buy her expensive things. She can do that herself. What she’d really like is for a gift that’s full of thought.

If you make her a gift, she’ll play it off but she secretly loves it. It doesn’t matter how shitty it is. If you make her a cute boar figure out of clay and it’s lopsided, but you tried hard and painted it her favorite color, it’s going on her mantel in the living room.

Spoils you too. You will drown in gifts and kisses. Don’t worry, she uses amazing lipstick and it doesn’t stick to your face.

Dotsuku

Without S/O

Spends the day giving candy to the children.

Secretly gives his daughter a secret admirer letter, her confidence SKY ROCKETS

Decorates his classroom

This man is great at help kids learn about consent. No pulling pigtails, and if a boy likes a girl and she tells him no, he makes sure he knows not to keep bugging her. Same thing with the girls. If a boy doesn’t like them they’re not allowed to keep bugging them either.

Watches cute love movies with his daughter. He’s her prince charming.

With S/O

You better believe he has you help decorate his classroom

You make cute paper hearts and pick out candy

The kids leave you valentines

He takes you to dinner. His daughter comes too. You guys have a lot of fun. He buys you and his daughter a dessert. Somehow she eats here and half of yours

Snuggles on the couch and a cute movie.

Niwatori

Without an S/O

Doesn’t celebrate

She doesn’t understand why it’s a big deal

Indulges the day after on discount candy

With an S/O

Help her

She wants to celebrate but she’s in Ushii level awkward when it comes to doing anything

Picks the most popular movie out, watches it, and THAT is the basis for her whole idea

Gets you candy. Wears a cute dress. Picks a place to eat. Buys you roses, or do you get her roses? She’ll get them for you...just in case

Candy? Candy. Lots of candy.

Any small thing you get her she’s going to love. She never has really gotten gifts, and one out of love is a gift she’ll treasure forever

If you do get her flowers, she’s going to press them or dry them and keep them forever

Sharyu

Without an S/O

She had a fiancé for what seemed like forever, so a day without one is kind of difficult for her

She’s happy she’s alone, because she’s happy with who she is and now doesn’t have anyone to try and fit her into a mold that she didn’t belong

Kind of mopes though. She wants romance and someone who loves her for who she is and everything she does

Drinks hot coco and eats an ungodly amount of chocolate

With an S/O

So. Excited.

She cooks all day and makes cake, dinner, and everything else from scratch

You get her gifts and feel like it’s still not enough

Honestly? It doesn’t matter what you get her. She just love shaving you around and knowing how much you care for her for who she is

PLEASE slow dance with her in the kitchen while you’re doing the dishes. She’ll remember it forever

Hitsujii

Without an S/O

Hangs out at home

Waiting for the candy to go on sale

Babysits for his child so they can have a romantic evening

Watches random shows on TV, but avoids romance stuff

With an S/O

Still wants to hang out at home, but will go out if you want

Uses this as an excuse to DESTROY the candy aisle

Gets you flowers, they’re not red roses because that’s pretty expensive, but he gets cute ones...and a bear

Snuggles and falling asleep to bad rom coms on TV

Uuma

Without an S/O

Spends it alone

He wishes he had someone, but he’s alright for the most part

Okay he’s not

He’s a big softie inside and somewhat romanticizes the holiday more than he should

Eats cake...and chocolate

With an S/O

The man goes WILD

Roses everywhere

Candlelight

A romantic dinner he made meticulously after practicing for weeks

Remakes the titanic ship in a bottle, with you two as the figures on the front of the ship

He loves any gift you get him. He cries. He tries not to, but he does.

He writes you a poem he gets to embarrassed to read. You get it in a card.

Takeyasu

Without an S/O

Steals everything with his brother

Necklaces, candy, and even flowers just so he can light them on fire

Doesn’t think much of the holiday, never has. It’s stupid.

With an S/O

He’s awkward. He doesn’t know how to celebrate the holiday

He gets you the basics, candy, a bear, and flowers. That’s it right?

Oh wait, you wanna do something? Uh, can a theme park be romantic?

You have a lot of fun actually, and when inevitably he lights part of it on fire, he has stuff for smores.

You save the picture from the tunnel of love. You managed to snap it before he lit it on fire. The tunnel was the point of origin.

Later on down the road he plans more stuff. He may also use fireworks to do your name in the air or something

Steals you a car.

Nagayuki

Without an S/O

Steals stuff with his brother

Gets entirely to many snacks

Does anything but Holiday stuff

With an S/O

Doesn’t want to do anything, but will because you ask him

Takes you for dinner, and he enjoys spending time with you, but because social convention is making him he’s grumpy about it

If you’re the kind of person who is easily embarrassed, he may send you cheesy emails with stupid valentines cards

Chocolate and all KINDS of snacks

Later on down the line he’ll plan more romantic stuff, and buy you nice things with real money so you know he cares

Usagi

Without an S/O

He likes the Holiday and wants someone to do it with SOOOO BAD

Watches all those cute movies and cheesy rom coms

Has a “Friend” he takes out on a date

It doesn’t go well

With an S/O

Oh boy. He’s SO HAPPY

He gets you everything. Flower, roses (ignore the blood it’s fine), and he lets you know he’s arrived to pick you up by having his friends hold him high while he has a boom box playing your favorite song. Even if it’s metal. Even if he thinks the holiday begins at midnight. Your neighbors wont care, right?

You will go to ALL the cheesy stuff. Cute rides at a theme park, which somehow gets burned down later on thanks to someone (Takeyasu)

A dinner and flowers, chocolate. SO MUCH CANDY. He even likes the terrible heart ones. He made you a box filled with ones that have saying that remind him of you

Cuddles, kisses, and smooches that just...don’t stop. Even in public. You gotta tell him to tone it down.

Tora

Without an S/O

Drinks, and mopes

She doesn’t really want to date, but seeing other people happy kinda rubs it in when you’re single

Partakes in day after candy sales

She actually avoids the bars, to many couples being happy and cute

Angrily eats snacks

With an S/O

She doesn’t expect much, other than maybe being one of those annoying couples who steals Every. Booth. In. The. Restaurant.

Please get her presents. Please. She’ll get really happy and flustered

This girl will actually try and make you chocolate from scratch. Sharyu helps. She even wraps them in a cute wrapping paper she draws herself

It’s pretty casual and after bar hopping you spend it at home. You’re with her so she cuts back so she’s not sloshed. She wants to remember being with you.

So many cute kisses.

Hand holding. It still gets her flustered.

Please get your picture taken at some point. She’ll put it by her bed and fall asleep smiling

Ushii

Without an S/O

There’s a Holiday?

He guess he noticed it was harder than normal to get a table for his favorite restaurant

Doesn’t really like sweets so the holiday just annoys him

So many people confess to him and he’s just like “Okay. Cool. Thanks”

With an S/O

He’s not great with the holiday. He’s smart though, so he tries to research what to do

Googles top ten most romantic gesture, luckily has the sense not to propose

Gets you candy, roses, and all the stereotypical stuff

You have to tell him to relax, because all the stuff he’s saying is regurgitated rom com lines

When he does relax, he’s actually really sweet. Stupidly sweet actually.

“I don’t need a holiday to tell me you’re important, you’re already always on my mind, but the candy is nice I guess”

Will watch whatever you want. Is always confused by romance movies, but oh BOY does he love going out to eat with you. Hell. Yes. The desserts are amazing and now he gets to share them with you

Care you a card. It’s ugly, but he tries

Gets you a really cute necklace. It has a small ox on it, so he can always be with you.

Nezumi

Without an S/O

Eats candy and sleeps. It’s no different than any other day, other than people piss him off more.

He doesn’t like how weird people get

They also made out on his locker...and he needed his textbook. Please....Let him get his books

With an S/O

Uses his paths so much that he passes out and HARD CORE NAPS before you go out

Has the perfect gift.

Plays co op video games with you

He doesn’t like people, so you get take out and stay home

You watch movies, but they’re movies like Princess Bride, Warm Bodies, and love stories that aren’t so normal and are more fun

If you’re LGBT he goes out of his way to find a good movie ahead of time, because he loves and supports you and this day is about you two damn it! (The other’s would try to do this for their S/O, but would have a harder time. since most of them are not great with technology like Nezumi is)

So much candy and snacks

Selfies and filters

You fall asleep together and nap

get him a gift. He’ll know it’s coming but it still makes him happy

BONUS CHALLENGE

Doudecuple

Without an S/O

Doesn’t do a whole lot. Has wine and watches the mortals below

Maybe messes with people just a bit to amuse himself

Does his own thing. He really doesn’t care for the holiday

With an S/O

Wine and a dessert charcuterie board

Gets you an expensive gift, but practical. A coat, a scarf. Something to keep you warm and cozy you can use everyday and think of him.

Makes the impossible possible. A romantic setting with only a few people

Getting the tickets for some play or show the last minute

Please do something cheesy, it’ll amuse him, and he’ll secretly keep it

ON THE FLIP SIDE

He may get a gift from you, then anyone who goes in his office will see it.

“Look what my Love got me. Have you beheld it?”

It doesn’t matter if it’s stupid. He’s keeping it forever

Navi

Without and S/O

Stays home and has snacks and chocolates

Maybe organizes his hat collection

Watches fun game shows or anything without romance

With S/O

Has a special hat he wears for the occasion

Gets you one too

Gets you candy and a single rose, as well as a teddy bear

Uses his tablet to find the best places to go with the best rating. Uses his ability to multiply to hold your place in line so you can actually do other stuff

Ferris wheel. He has to hold his hat on but you guys get an AMAZING picture together. It’s his screensaver. He texts it to Nezumi. Nezumi and him start having a couple picture off. Next year, double date.

Haikyuu SakuAtsu fanfic recs: series edition ;)

ALRIGHT LOVES, BUCKLE UP! IM FORCING MYSELF TO FIND MOTIVATION LOL

As I was making that cursed SakuAtsu fanfic rec post (it really is cursed, but it’ll get done eventually cause I do love the SakuAtsu too much, when tho? only god know LOL), I decided that if I’m gonna finish it, imma have to break it up. SO that’s why this is our lovely series edition post LOL. Originally, it WAS writers, tags, series, then single fics BUT I decided to scrap tags and even then I was like it’s too long..... And so, this post materialized LOL (mayhaps writers next? who knows anymore cause I certainly don’t LOL). These are ONLY some of the series that I absolutely adore, and I say some because 1) the tag is literally like 4k fics long and I was on like page 20 something and I have SO many tabs open rn for SakuAtsu, so chances are I missed one or five LOL :’((((( and 2) my ao3 account hasn’t been made yet (should’ve done this a looooooong time ago) and so I don’t have them all saved anywhere :( (these just sound like excuses LMFAO) So these are just the ones I saw and was like OOP I LOVE and then added LOL (and so they’re in no particular order hehe). I also didn’t *** any of them cause they’re all so freakin good and even if you randomly chose one, you will not be disappointed.

As per usual, pls check WARNINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES for series and each individual fic before reading and make sure you’re taking care of yourselves (since mental health is key!) Stay healthy loves <3

I would also be more careful cause there are a lot more TW in these fics than other ships!

Terminal Curiosity by favspacetwink, moonlumie (E) // CHECK WARINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES!!! this is one of the BEST series I’ve read for this ship and even though I tend not to read WIP, IT’S WORTH IT! Please read ALL the tags before going into any of the fics in this series because there’s some real spicy stuff that may not be your cup of tea!

your highs and lows by astroeulogy (T,M,E) // this fic made me go on a roller coaster of feels from start to (tentative) finish :))) It’s great and I love it AHHHHH The progression in their relationship is just so ajfkjsf, and I just adore how Atsumu just broke(?) during that first fic and the number of double takes he did, v relatable LOL.

Different Kinds of Dysfunctional by DeathBelle (T,E) // I LOVE the entrance to this fic and how it flowed so well. I think Atsumu is characterized really well throughout this series (I could totally see Atsumu bringing the same thing up over and over again LOL), and his development was done beautifully (You just want to make me say it.,,, Kinda, yeah.). I really freakin love this series so please go ahead and read it don’t be shy hehehe.

we call everything on the ice, "love" by awkwardedgeworth (T) // I LOVE this fic omg,,, it’s in series, but it’s only two fics LOL... Anyway, Notte Stellata is one of my favorite SakuAtsu fics and I have reread it way TOO many times and the fanpage fic IS SO AMAZING (AND FUNNY ASF PLS). I really love ice skating AU’s too so this really made this ‘series’ all the more better <333333

know you better & related stories by theglitterati (T,M,E) // this is definitely one of the best relationship development series I’ve read, I love it so much! It really touches all the bases, and the progression is just SO good. It really is the fic version of the get along shirt, extended edition LOL.

flutterbird (a collection of sakuatsu one-shots) by wordstruck (T,M,E) // this series is such an easy pick up because it’s a bunch of one-shots (esp. if you’re not into smut cause there is some), BUT all of them are def worth a read. Personally, the third one, the sakusa kiyoomi listography, is my favorite (cause imma sucker for Sakusa), but that’s just personal preference hehe :)

Atsumu + Sakusa + The National = ? by isaksara (syailendra) (T,M) // this is another stand alone fic series but with AUs :D I don’t even know like most (ie. all) of the references (LMFAO), but I still read all of them LOL. Again, a personal favorite (without any references LOL) is the second one, famous angels (never come through england), it’s really funny and good and I just love it okay?

Better For Us Both by abrandnewheart (M) // (this was CP from my angst fic rec post LOL tho it is slightly edited cause istg my writing style changes every post LOL) THE MUG FIC. There is a sequel and when I saw it, it took me another week to read it cause I was like,,, am I ready to have my heart break again? No LOL. But the sequel is actually not as angst (but there’s still angst), so if you want to be like semi-broken or whatever, just read the sequel LOL (also it’s Sakusa POV HEHE). It’s so sad and it made me physically hurt every time someone even mentioned mugs afterwards (LOL why am I so dramatic but it’s the truth :///). Go ahead and hurt with me. You should read it even if you don’t like angst because you know what they say, no pain no gain :’)

parallax error: angle of inclination by min_mintobe (T) // okay so technically this ‘isn’t a series’, but it is two fic that are related, and what is that if not A SERIES :DDDDD Anyway, I really love this fic enough that I would find loopholes in my own dang post to recommend it LOL. I really love the service ace bet between Sakusa and Atsumu (I do think it is a superior headcannon (it’s hc right?)) but I also love what’s left unsaid by both in each other’s POVs hehe. If you want to go straight to Sakusa’s POV (cause their different POVs of the same fic), here it is parallax error: line of sight. You can read either first, but I recommend you read both eventually :)

to make any other mistake by honeymilktea (rosevtea) (T) // I, myself, am a very big fan of college Haikyuu (tho idk if it seems like that LOL), and this fic is very much up my alley hehe. I really like the idea that they are both TA’s and that Atsumu would totally bribe Sakusa into fake dating him as well as Sakusa wearing his brightest outfits to spite Atsumu.

How Do You Know? by awkwardedgeworth (T) // these fics are both so funny omg. The google search histories, the trial and error, and just everything in these two fics gives me so much dopamine LOL. There’s one POV for both end of the ship, though their tragedies are slightly different.

the human disaster chronicles by firtree (G,T) // is this another Atsumu gay panic fic? Yes, yes it is and I have absolutely no shame in recommending it hehe. I realllllllly like this fic and Atsumu having a break down cause Sakusa didn’t follow his routine? It is the move. Anyway, pls read this series cause like the title suggests, it really is a disaster (but at least there’s love right? LOL).

I Love You (Though it's Inadvisable) by Anubis_2701 (T) // okay the series itself is a wip (as in only one fic for now LOL), but the fic is so good, I couldn’t leave it off :))))) First, I do love a good soulmate AU and although I’m not a big fan on the body switching AUs, THIS one was SO good!!! It gets really cheesy and fluff at the end, but the beginning of this fic was just so immaculate, that we’re gonna ignore how much the ending made me want to stick my head into a hole (cause it was so FLUFF OMG).

The Germaphobe and the Asshole by metaandpotatoes (T,E) // so this series is also actually a WIP, but it’s okay I only read the first and the last one anyway cause they’re basically stand alone’s LOL. This series focuses a lot on Sakusa’s mysophobia, so if you’re not a fan of the hc, you should prolly pass hehe. TBH, my favorite is the third one, Avoidance Behavior, but that’s mainly cause I really like SunaOsa and I love the brother bond in it!

you are the cause of my euphoria by SugarHighs (T) // ajsfljksadhjkdfk is my first thoughts while reading this series cause ATSUMU WOULD. He would start posting thirst trap pics (which really reminded me of Wonho) in order to prove he was the most good looking member of MSBY. Tho, we do love the clowning of one Sakusa Kiyoomi, as done in the third fic (PLEASE NUMBER 17 AND Cheezel). Even if you can’t get yourself to read the other fics, read the third one, 5 Ways To Tell If The Person You're Dating Is The One, for the free serotonin boost plsplspls.

'basis' - noun. the underlying foundation for an idea or process. by auvelli (T) // like I said, college AU is a great AU, love it. This one, I do love indeed. We do stan having microwaves and mini fridges hehe. I support the ramen endeavors but oatmeal is gross, I said what I said. Anyway, I love the tags in the second fic, so even if you don’t end up reading it, read the tags,,,, they’re funny okay?

and i press you to the pages of my heart by volchitsae (T) // I LOVE THIS ONE, teehee again the college AU makes another appearance LOL. I REALLY love this writer, and this one is so funny but cute at the same time. It’s another two POV fic, but you’ll want to read this one in order hehe. Again, the ending is so FLUFF, that my head wanted to take a visit to the underground BUT ITS OKAY.

affection and acid reflux by volchitsae (T) // so the first fic is ~angst~ but IT GETS BETTER OKAY, happy endings. HAPPY ENDINGS. Anyway, there’s some really cute Sakusa in this one (esp. when he talks to the boy at the village LOVE HIM) and a healthy amount of angst as well. I really like this fic and guess what it is? Say it with me, COLLEGE AU LOL.

how big the hourglass, how deep the sand by volchitsae (E) // did I just recommend the same writer three times in a row? Yup and I think that says something LOL (tbh I like some of their stand alone fics more tho LMFAO but that doesn’t mean these series are bad nononono not at ALL (this sounded sarcastic but that was not the intention LOL)). This one is ~magical~ (v literally) and has some kinky stuff (holy water ftw) in it, so tread carefully :) I would make sure to read the tags before each one because it gets kinda steamy LOL.

^^ if I had to choose between these three, I liked and i press you to the pages of my heart the most just cause the plot was my type LOL. But they’re all good hehe.

a study on you(th) and reverie by sieges (G,T) // this series is such a sad series :( The first two are the only SakuAtsu but the third one is an angst Osamu one so there’s that LOL (and ofc the fourth one is KuniYama (is that their ship name idk)) But the first one is a moving on fic (which I liked) and the second is like basically a fake break up (which I liked more LOL) and both have some nice shares of angst and fluff so choose your battles wisely (or just read both LOL).

Burden of Blame by DeathBelle (E) // CHECK WARINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES!!! ah yes, the mafia fic LOL. I REALLY LOVE THIS FIC. I felt so bad for Atsumu the entire fic and yes it is, ATSUMU BEST BOY time. Did I really just recommend this series AGAIN for the THIRD TIME in THREE SEPARATE POSTS? Apparently LMFAO I didn’t even know TBH LOL. I just really like this one,,,,,, okay? But pls Atsumu just here for the ride man cause he BEST BOY. Anyway, if you want to see my other comments of this fic that I forgot I did links here :D (links and here are two separate links to two separate posts LOL).

OKAY so that’s most of the series that I saw and was like gotta put this here LOL. And do you see how long this is (I know I’m missing so many series I like istg when I find them later imma cry or just make another post LOL).... Can you imagine how long my actual fic fic one is LOL (i’m not kidding tho it’s so long I might just do fics with their actual summaries instead of adding my invalid, piss poor reviews :/). Ugh the more I think about it, the more I lose motivation to finish LMFAO, so imma go be no thoughts head empty, but I hope you enjoyed reading these series! I love SakuAtsu SO much, so there’s lots more to come (is that good or bad idek). I know I was kinda lazy on the warnings (my bad), so I hope you all were attentive and made sure to check before reading! Also if there are any errors, send me a message/ask! PLS, they’re v embarrassing LOL. (Also tell me if I forget to cap my I’s bc I do that sometimes and I can’t tell cause of the font LMFAO.) The way my posts get slightly more chaotic every time I post LOL.

Note

Don’t know if you have noticed but lately (last week or two) there had been less and less new silverV fics on AO3. It breaks my heart. So thank you for all your answers here! You are keeping the fandom alive.

And as you answered recently a « daddy » Johnny ask, do you think V and Johnny could end up marrying each other?

I don’t necessarily think they fit the description but if it had to happen how would it be in your opinion ?

I havent really noticed but tbf, I havent been reading as much fanfic and have been preoccupied writing my own (hehehehe) as well as other life stuff. But its natural for these things in fandom to kind of slow down, speed back up and have an explosion again. Things happen, life gets busy and less folks are writing, then life frees up and they can again. Im always happy to help keep up the flow, but I wouldn't worry about the fandom or ship dying, if I can enter the FC5 fandom like 2ish years after the game came out and still find an active fandom. Cyberpunk 2077 and SilverV will keep going for a long long time.

But anybuttts, SilverV and marriage. My personal opinion and feelings, and as always to each their own. But kinda like my personal opinion that SilverV would be childfree, I dont see them really caring much about marriage (at least not Johnny for sure). I see them as mostly a "we dont need the government involved in our relationship or a piece of paper to prove our feelings," type of people.

However, I still can see them feeling that way and doing marriage/marrying stuff. Cause so far into their relationship, Johnny kind of start acting like they are married. Like, maybe he starts to kinda wanna call them wife/husband, because we're all kind taught those words have a deeper meaning/connection. And no normal word encompasses what they are, but he wants those "deeper" words. But hey, fuck the paper, he'll call V that cause he wants to, the fuck he needs the governments approval to do it.

And, he'd love the idea of a ring, not necessarily blowing cash on consumerist capitalist giant ass engagement ring and fuck the diamond industry, but him and V wearing aNOTHER PIECE OF JEWLRY THAT REPRESENTS THEIR CONNECTION, ONE THAT ALSO SIGNALS TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE A PARTNER SO BUZZ OFF, HE CAN GET BEHIND THAT.

So they end up with wedding rings and people give them shit teasing them , you're not even really married, you got wedding rings but no wedding.

And Johnny and V get thinking; a wedding is basically just a party to show off to people that you love each other. And that aint bad. Excuse to blow some eddies on top shelf booze, food, drag all their friends into one place. Excuse to see each other dressed up, though not too dressed up, Johnny would try to add in there. He doesnt wanna look like some corpo, c'mon, V. So look at that they're having a wedding. The ceremony of it would be the shortest part, maybe let Padre do the whole spiel so to him and Mama Welles they're at least married in the eyes of god. Johnny doesnt really care about that, I know my V doesnt, but someone elses might. But hey it makes Mama Welles happy and thats reason enough to do it. Vows are fun, baring their souls about each other in front of people??? Hmmm, ahhhh, at best short but emotional. Neither can really stand to be that...gushy and vulnerable for too long. Honestly, they may just save their vows until they're alone, keeping it between them. They love their friends and essentially family sure, but no one outside of them could ever understand the connection and...they kinda like it that way, kind of like that those deeper feelings, the vulnerability of expressing it. Is just for them. Then Johnny shoves his tongue down V's throat in front of everyone cause no shame in that.

The reception, party is the longest part of it all; just everyone having a fun, giant party essentially with everyone dragged in, going until entirely too late in the day.

Oh, and they never sign a certificate, when everyone finds out theyre screaming, YOU TWO ARENT LEGALLY MARRIED?? And nah, only good reason to let the government in on their relationship is tax breaks and guess what; these bitches dont pay their taxes anyway!

EDIT: WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY TYPOS IN EVERYTHING, WHY DO Y'ALL ACCEPT THIS FROM ME

#cyberpunk 2077 #cp2077 #johnny silverhand #silverv #can you tell ive thought about this too much

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

17! My favorite number.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

178,176. Dang!

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

@theDuckPond Solavellan slow burn? smlungst, 62,553 words

New Life papae!Solas with lots of smut, 6606 words

Marigolds in the Hanged Man Varrigold! :D Varric/Marigold, 43,527 words

(3.5 is Dreaming With You (Solas x Reader), but I’m only a partial writer on that one so I’m not counting it.)

Labor and Loss papae!Solas with lots of sad, 4097 words

Kirkwall Karaoke f!Fenhawke drunken shenanigans, 7023 words

Wow I wasn’t expecting my karaoke fic to be on this list! And you guys really like your papae!Solas :D

4. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I do, yes, because when I leave comments it gives me anxiety that only seeing them reply fixes and I want to do that for other people. Unfortunately back when I updated every week (lol) I got in the habit of replying to comments when I posted something new... So now when I go a long time without posting a new chapter I leave the comments on read for a long time. Sorry guys!!

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Honestly? This Nonsense. (Link is to a long series of messages to @keturagh at 3am, no joke.)

But, since then, I’ve figured out an alternative ending that’s much happier. I can’t help it. I want happy endings.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

As per #5, all of them lol. The first one that came to mind was Marigolds, but honestly my soulmate au Vhenaslin feels the fluffiest to me.

And, of course, there’s this one ;)

7. Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I haven’t, not yet :( Like, I like the concept but no combination I’ve thought of has given me even the slightest bit of inspiration.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yep! I received one that was something like “Congrats! You’ve written the most insufferable OC I’ve ever read!!” and it was fucking hilarious because it was on, like, chapter 6? You read 6 chapters about a character you didn’t like and somehow it’s my fault?? lmao

There was another one I can’t remember, too, and twice people have called Elle a bitch. All of these happened to Elle from Duck Pond, so if that’s not a glowing recommendation~

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

ROFL yeah that’s why I’m here. Like literally why I joined the fandom.

Everyone I’ve written is m/f and not particularly kinky but pretty damn explicit. Sometimes I do fade-to-black or gloss over for pacing, but mostly... Yeah. There’s smut. let Solas nut

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. Sure af hope not.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope. At least, not that I know of!

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! There was a Solas x Reader post on tumblr that people were reblogging and adding a little more too, and I guess that the foreplay went on too long because @keturagh sent it to me like ‘you’re the expert of getting the P in the V!’ and I’ve never written Reader fic before (or since) but who am I to disappoint!!

Then someone compiled it all and put it on AO3 here. I don’t have a damn clue where my writing begins -- other than I got the P in the V lol. Every once in a while I get a notification of a comment or kudos on it and every SINGLE time I’m like

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Very clearly Solavellan. Though I’m also very into Opal/Nik from the Minimum Wage Magic books by Rachel Aaron. I listened to the audiobook because Patrick Weekes shared their reading list on twitter once and it was on there and I’m a HUGE sucker for juxtaposition. Gets me every time.

I’ve since read uuuhhhh almost everything Rachel Aaron/Bachs has read, and there’s lots of great stuff in there, but MWM is still my favorite series of hers by far. My own personal Couch AU.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Uuhhhh.... So many? Or more like I’m scared I never will, in any case. I started drafting a list of my WIPs and it got... long. I can’t think of any I made a deliberate choice to never finish. There’s only 1 fic that I wrote that I didn’t post.

15. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue, pacing, and sex~

I consider my dialogue my biggest asset as a writer tbh

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

WRITING THE WORDS DOWN and also how do plot?

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

In the fandom there’s a tendency to write lines in elvhen and then put the translation at the end and yeah no it drives me bonkers. It completely destroys the immersion and pacing for no pay off. I’m not going to scroll down to understand your story. I just read it straight and try to figure out what’s going on based on context.

I stick with the well-known canon lines that most of us obsessed fans know by heart. I think sometimes I put a translation in there for newcomers, maybe? One time I used a feature on AO3 where you can hover your mouse over the work and it has like a footnote? that you can use to translate. But I immediately stopped bc #1 I don’t know how that works on mobile and #2 it really doesn’t seem like that’s going to work with screen readers. But otherwise I just say ‘they said in elven’ or have the narrator translate it themself for the reader.

Also, a lot of people use the elvhen translations from that BNF’s project and like... If you WANT him to say ‘I want to paint you with my cum’ then just have the courage to say it straight!

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

lmao Harvest Moon. Yeah. After that was Tamora Pierce (modern girl in Tortall yep). Then was like a 15 year gap until I got frustrated at the slow pace of the romance with this egg in this game so I wanted to see if there was smut... (Cue Googling: Is FanFiction.Net still a thing?)

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Oh gosh. Hmm. I love all my girls, but Duck Pond was/is a major work of love. Unlike my short works I really had the chance to explore more in a full length fic, you know?

(Marigolds is also full length but it was my first fic and there’s some spots that I’m not too proud of.)

That’s all the questions but I’m adding:

20. What’s a fic you’re proud of that hasn’t gotten much attention?

because I want an excuse to mention how hard I worked on Kirkwall Noir and how I’m surprised how little readership it’s gotten. It’s Varric! It’s Marigold! It’s super short, unlike most my stuff. Maybe that’s why people don’t like it?

Hmm, I also used a AO3 pen name, but it would still show on my page, right?

Thank you for the tags, @roguelioness and @thevikingwoman !! Consider yourself re-tagged so you can answer #20. Also tagging: @blarfkey @broomclosetkink @elveny @bardinhightown @keturagh @luzial
