Until I found you

(steddie | 1.5k | mature | AO3 | Collection with wedding fics)

My dearest @thefreakandthehair, you were the first person I really interacted with in this fandom and your Winter Challenge was the reason I wrote my very first ST fanfic. You have a special place in my heart Lex and I am so glad, that I and all the others, were able to show you how much you mean to us with our wedding gifts.

I wish you and Billiam a life filled with love and happiness and the knowledge that you found something special within each other 💜

Most of the time, Eddie doesn’t mind being poor. Hell, he grew up with no money to his name, and as with so many things, you can't really miss what you've never had.

But sometimes he wishes that he wasn't.

Not even for himself, but for Steve. Because Steve? Steve knows what he's missing.

Before he came out to his parents, involuntarily, when they caught them making out on the floor of their living room, and they kicked him out of their house and their family, Steve had money. He could buy anything he wanted and never had to worry about affording rent and groceries.

Now, Eddie and Steve were living together in a small but cozy apartment in Indianapolis with their cats, Merry and Pippin. Steve was studying to be an EMT, and Eddie was working as a bartender where his band played regularly. They got by just fine, even though most of their furniture was second-hand, and they went grocery shopping on a weekly budget.

Their life was good. Perfect, in fact, if you asked Eddie. They had everything they needed, especially each other, which was the most important thing, a fact Steve never tired of reminding him of.

But that never stopped Eddie from wanting to give Steve more. Steve deserved the world and Eddie hated that he couldn't give it to him. He couldn't even give him the honeymoon he deserved.

If he's honest, he still can't believe Steve said yes. Especially after Eddie proposed at the worst possible time. Not during sex, which would have been bad, but not the worst. No, he proposed during a fight.

Steve was yelling at him, probably about something inane because he was tired and frustrated at the time, Eddie doesn’t even remember. And all he could think was that he would do anything to have Steve yell at him and smile at him and kiss him and tease him for the rest of his life.

"If you don't care, fine, but some of us —"

"Marry me."

"What - are you kidding me?"

"No, I have never been more serious in my life. Marry me, Steve."

"Are you asking me to marry you so I’ll stop yelling at you? Because I won't."

"Oh, I know. You don't have to. Just say yes before you go on?"

Steve had stopped yelling at him after that, too busy kissing him. They fucked right there on their kitchen floor, and Steve bitched about it the whole next day when his knees hurt. It was perfect.

Eddie wants their honeymoon to be just as perfect. But even though his uncle pitched in as much as he could, their wedding ate up what little savings they had. So instead of going to a beach somewhere and enjoying the sight of his husband in nothing but his swim trunks and lathering his gorgeous skin in sunscreen, they stayed home.

"Come on, it's not that bad. You know us. We wouldn't have left the hotel room anyway." Steve tries to cheer him up as Eddie sulks on their bed, wiggling his eyebrows in the way he knows makes Eddie laugh every time. It has the desired effect when Eddie snorts, but the thought of letting Steve down still lingers on his mind.

"Seriously, Eds. I know we don't have much right now, but we can always go on vacation together later. Right now, I really want to enjoy some quality time with my husband. So could you please tell him to stop moping?"

It's said with a teasing smile, so Eddie knows that Steve isn't really annoyed with him. But he's right, this is their honeymoon, even if they have to spend it at home. He shouldn't sit around and mope. He's failing at being a husband. He should probably prepare himself for the inevitable moment when Steve realizes that too and asks him for a divorce. Maybe they can at least stay friends. The thought hurts, a pang in his chest that he knows has nothing on how much the real thing would hurt. Like a supernova imploding in his chest, a black hole that would suck the life out of him. But he would try anyway. Not right away, but maybe someday, because Eddie can't imagine a life without Steve in it, even if it won't be the way he hoped it would be —

"I see you spiraling from here, Eddie."

Steve's voice is soft, as is his touch, as he cups Eddie's cheek with the palm of his hand. When Eddie looks up into his eyes, they are soft as well, filled with nothing but love. They look exactly the same as they did when Steve said "I do.” Just before he kissed Eddie with so much tenderness that Eddie could feel it in his toes.

"I just want to make you happy, Stevie. I don't want to disappoint you."

It's painfully honest, but they both worked hard at being honest with each other. Even when they screw up or when they think it might hurt the other. Honesty is the foundation on which they built their relationship, along with trust, respect, and, of course, love. And fantastic sex.

Steve smiles at him, and something about the look on his face actually brings tears to Eddie's eyes and his heart clenches in his chest. Fuck. He never thought you could love someone so much that it physically hurts until he met Steve. "I know, baby. I know. Wanna know a secret?"

Eddie hums and presses a small kiss to Steve's palm. Steve's thumb reaches up to gently stroke his cheekbones, wiping away the wetness that has begun to gather. "You make me happy every day in so many ways."

Steve kisses the tender skin under Eddie's eye, first left, then right. "When I wake up in the morning, way before you, sleepyhead, and you always kiss me, even when you're not awake yet."

He kisses Eddie's nose next, adding a little nip to the tip that makes Eddie smile. "When you text me throughout the day, just to share your thoughts and hear mine. Just to show me you were thinking about me."

Next, Steve's lips find Eddie's forehead, lingering, pressing his love into Eddie's skin, wanting it to get through Eddie's thick skull. "When you come home after a long shift, tiptoeing through the apartment, and making a ruckus anyway because you couldn't be quiet to save your life. And you slide into bed next to me, wrap me up in your arms, kiss the side of my face, and tell me you love me.”

Finally, Steve kisses him on the lips, first taking his upper lip between his own, then his lower, before slowly dragging his tongue along the seam. Eddie opens his mouth and Steve's tongue slips in, just like that, just a tease, not as a prelude to anything, but because he can. Because what's Eddie's is his and what's Steve's is Eddie's. Everything he has and everything he is belongs to Steve. His husband.

"You made me the happiest man in the world when you asked me to marry you. When you said yes in front of our friends, our family." Steve whispers in the minimal space between their lips, and Eddie sniffles, too happy to be embarrassed.

"I love you, Stevie. So goddamn much." Another kiss, as gentle as the last.

Steve pulls away, both hands cupping Eddie's face, his thumbs wiping away the last of the tears. "I love you too. So how about we start with the whole honeymoon business, huh?"

"What do you have in mind?"

Steve's smile is sweet, innocent, but Eddie knows his husband well enough to see the gleam in his eyes. He's in for a treat, his stomach fluttering in anticipation.

"Well," Steve begins, letting go of Eddie's face to tap his chin, "I thought we'd take our mattress into the living room, put it in front of the TV and put on Lord of the Rings. Extended Edition." The words sound like music to his ears, the perfect way to spend the day in his book, but it's hardly a gift for the two of them.

Steve is not finished, however. "That's 686 minutes. Wanna show me how many times you can make me come in 11 hours?"

Standing up so fast he almost knocks Steve over, Eddie pulls Steve into a deep, heated kiss. "Marry me, Steve."

Steve laughs. "I already did, stupid. I take it you like the idea?"

"I love it. Almost as much as you." They kiss again, unable to keep their hands off each other.

Eddie wonders if the impromptu blowjob that follows on their bed can be added to the final count at the end of the day. If so, it's nine times. Not bad at all, if he says so himself.

Steve seems to agree as they cuddle on the couch, both naked, satiated and sleepy, their legs intertwined and Steve's head resting on Eddie's chest, their mattress beyond saving ("Good thing the new one gets delivered tomorrow.").

"Are you happy, Stevie?"

"Never been happier in my life, Mr. Munson-Harrington."

The Foleys' Incredible Crisis

Chapter 1: Call It Stormy Monday

Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad) was written and performed in 1947 by T-Bone Walker. It is one of the most popular Blues songs ever, and has been performed and reiterated by countless other musicians. It has been credited with inspiring B.B. King to take up electric guitar, and it is included in the Library of Congress.

Happy Invisobang!!! This should have been posted earlier in the week but I couldn't make myself get to the computer to finalize/format it. Hehe. This year I had the INCREDIBLE experience of working with Shadow and Sharks, who were such wonderful artists— they have a whole smörgåsbord of art to please your eyes in this story! They have kept me on my toes— as I write this, the final, collaborated illustration is still a secret to me 👀 Lola is an OC I named once I realized Tucker absolutely feels like he has a little sister. Since then she's been in my heart and I can't let her go. My wonderful girl Lola. It's a treat whenever I get to see her in the wild— I almost had a heart attack when she appeared in Lex Luthor's Ascent from Supervillainy to Fatherhood by halfagone!

For a directory of all currently posted chapters and related content, check out the Table of Contents!

fic summary: After a whole week of vacation stuck together, the Foleys were more than happy to have some time apart. So when they each found themselves caught up in ghost business, that meant handling it alone. Angela wasn't planning on improvising a ghost conspiracy, Maurice was hoping to avoid working IT, Lola didn't think playing a hero would take her out of school, and Tucker would really have liked to focus on his own problems. But, really, what else did they expect from Amity Park? Home, sweet home.

next chapter [pending]

Tucker dropped his bag with a thunk. He was far beyond caring to be delicate, despite the electronics inside— he just wanted to shed his shoes and jacket and maybe the memories of the trip along with them.

"Ohhhh-kay," said his mom, grimacing at the trash can. Nobody had thought to empty it before they left. "What a vacation!" She laughed emptily. "I'm going to bed. You can fend for yourselves for dinner."

Tucker's dad popped back out from behind the bathroom door. "Before you go," he called over the rush of the faucet, "can we all just agree? Real quick, get in the den and then we can all ignore each other."

Lola sighed loudly and gave up untying her shoe, just kicking it off. Tucker agreed. He couldn't wait to wash his hands after the long trip.

His dad dried off his hands and joined them in the den, looking each of his family members in the eyes one by one. "I propose we never talk about this trip unless we have to."

Everyone agreed with as much fervor as they could muster after the fraught day.

"Also," said Lola, "I think we should try not to talk to each other for a whole day."

"Works for me," said Tucker.

His mom yawned. "Much as I love you all, I'm good with a day pretending you don't exist. Tucker, can you walk with Lola to and from school tomorrow?"

He looked at his little sister. She shrugged.

"As long as she plays nice, yeah."

His dad clapped. "Cool. Alright. So, unless one of us needs something, we all mind our own business tomorrow? Okay. I'm gonna order a pizza, and... I'll sleep in the guest room tonight. Pleasure doin' business with you all."

Tucker closed his eyes and sighed, pleased at imagining taking a shower and sleeping in his own bed in a few hours.

They had just wanted to see family in Chicago. What a disaster.

The library was quiet when Angela Foley came in. That made sense, she worked weekday mornings, so they usually only saw adults and the rare preschooler. As much as she liked helping the spread of knowledge, it was nice not to have too much to do at the front desk. Maybe she could get a crossword puzzle or two done.

She had made it about halfway through the puzzle (Angela knew a lot of things, but wordplay was never her specialty. What on Earth was she supposed to get from "gift for a blue lady"?) before someone walked in, paused, and went straight for the front desk.

She put on her smile. "Hi! Can I help ya with anything?"

The man was tall, wearing a clean white button-up shirt and jeans. His brassy skin and black hair caught strangely in the fluorescent lights, turning almost orange at their edges. She was pretty sure he was a ghost in disguise, but she had helped ghosts before. Usually, if one was asking for help using a library, they weren't intent on doing anything violent.

Usually. She still reserved a little caution.

"Yes, I'm looking for information on a very distant place. Where might I find something like that?"

"Well, what place is it?"

"It's called An Aghaidh Mhòr."

Angela blinked at the unfamiliar sounds. "I'm not familiar. Is that... Gaelic?"

The man fiddled with his sleeves. "Scottish, I believe, yes."

"Alright." Angela stood up and moved toward the computer monitor at the desk by the door. "I'm going to check in our catalog for books on Scotland."

The man watched silently as she searched. Angela hummed. "It looks like, in house, the only books we have on Scotland are travel guides covering the whole of the UK or Europe. I don't expect they'd have many details on smaller places— well, I'm assuming An Aghaidh Mhòr is small, since I haven't heard of it. If you'd like, you can check anyway, or I can contact another library in the system, and they can send over some more specialized books, but that might take a few days."

The man said nothing, but his eyebrows furrowed in thought. Angela recognized the face of a person with a wide, potent array of bad options.

"Or, if you're more pressed for time, we do have a few computers and Internet access here. I can help you find some web sites that might have what you're looking for."

"And this wouldn't take any longer than looking through a book?"

Angela smiled and headed toward the public computers. "Faster, even, if you know what you're doing. I can help you if you've never done it before."

They began their search, and the man caught on quickly to what Angela was doing and how. She helped him for a while, long enough to find out that An Aghaidh Mhòr was a place in the woody North of Scotland, usually called Aviemore, and was something of a tourist destination. Beyond that, she left him to do his own research and went back to her crossword.

She just had a pesky few clues left when the man started muttering curses in another language and walked back over to her desk.

With panicked eyes, he said "I have to be honest. What I'm looking for is, ah… evidence that An Aghaidh Mhòr has an open community of ghosts alongside its humans. I'm certain that it once did, and I know that it still must. But I have chased every tail of information I could find that led to pages on the computer, and none of them, regardless of detail or experience with the town, has mentioned it."

He looked down and seemed to weigh something in his head. "It must be some sort of secret. Whether to protect the ghosts or to protect themselves from ridicule, the living people of An Aghaidh Mhòr have hidden their ghost society. You have to help me find it."

The little hairs on Angela's body all stood up. Warning bells were going off in her head. There was nothing to do but remain calm. "If that's the case, I don't know about anything like that. I can send out a question to my colleagues to see if they know anything, but I'm afraid I can't–"

"No!" The man swung out a hand, and the inner doors swung shut, silvery light weaving across them like fishing nets to keep them in place. The lights dimmed and his skin faded to a deep, fiery orange, layered and complex like agate. His eyes glowed like the moon. The few library guests gasped and looked at him in shock.

"You are a keeper of information, from a city with a striking connection to ghosts. I need to know the truth about ghostly An Aghaidh Mhòr, and you must help me find it." His silver eyes were full of fear, but Angela couldn't bring herself to care how the ghost who just trapped and threatened her was feeling.

She had to think fast to get out of this safely. Something to keep his hopes up…

"Fine. Fine." Angela held up her hands. "I'm not confident in my own grasp of the situation, but I do know of some secrets like the one you're talking about. It'll take some time– say, a couple hours– to put together anything meaningful, and I'll need to call in an expert, but I can do it. I will do it."

She could only hope her friends were any good at improv.

Maurice was never one for early mornings, but he always made the best of his hour alone after the kids went off to school and Angela's shift started. That was his time to make coffee and goof around. He could prance around the kitchen in ways that would make Tucker gag if he were there, and as long as he couldn't see his neighbors, he could put them out of mind enough to sing as loud as he wanted.

Before work was the blues hour. Today he put on Lucille. Whole album, on tape, from the top.

If anybody asked why he started his days with the blues, he'd probably say something about the sad lyrics reminding him how lucky he was. How no matter how embarrassing the family vacations or boring the work or sleazy the boss, he still had a clean house around him and a faithful wife beside him.

In reality, though, he mostly just liked the beat.

Once he got into work, it was just the same as ever. Double-entries and journalizing. He didn't even get to mix up which accounts he dealt with. VLADCO was too big for that. It was Accounts Receivable, 140-180, day after day.

But at least it wasn't IT.

Then, after almost an hour of swimming through "Axiom Labs, Ltd. $1,300 Debit" and "Hey, Maurice, how was the weekend?" and "Nugreen Ectosuppliers, LLC $400 Credit" and "You get that last letter? Crazy what Masters is trying these days, yeah?", everything went dark.

(Or, at least darker than usual. The grainy white of every surface in the office never lent itself to anything deeper than a cloudy grey.)

After a few seconds of quiet shock, the lights came back. Now, however, there was a ghost floating in front of the door connecting the Finances and Supplies department to the rest of the facility.

He seemed to be well-muscled and of average height, though it was hard to tell exactly what a ghost looked like when they were putting off that much of an aura. His skin was dark green and rough-looking, like bark, and there was a reddish halo around his head like some sort of spectral hair. His blood-moon eyes looked over everyone in the room individually before anyone dared speak. Finally, he opened his mouth.

"This is the center of a company that arms humans againsts ghosts and similar threats. Yes?"

Shocked, a few people nodded.

"And you are all from the department keeping stock of supplies. I do not know where your weapons are kept, but I know that you do. Someone in here will retrieve them for me. I need them, if I am to bring my people, ghosts and humans, together again."

The tension finally broke the membrane freezing time, and several office workers started to move for phones.

"Don't bother trying to get help. I have severed all the lines of communication between you and the world outside this office. I will leave you alone, as soon as someone leads me to the armory."

Maurice glanced at the little LCD display on the phone on his desk. No signal. His computer, too, had nothing when he clicked over to the Internet settings.

No one said anything. Some kept trying with their phones, but not a single person offered to explain how scant and useless the actual in-house ecto-equipment supply was or show the path to it. Maurice imagined they were all thinking the same thing he was; yes, complying was generally the way to stay safe in a hostage situation, and panic was strong, but a ghost coming into town and getting their hands on even just half-assembled ecto-equipment never went well. And, maybe even more importantly, VLADCO had terrifyingly strict regulations on safe ecto-tech policy. Unless the immediate threat of being personally hurt for information increased, the consequences in the long run were the biggest monster here.

The ghost crossed his arms. "Fine. You have one hour to bring me to the weapons. I can wait. I have waited this long. If you take any longer, or if you attempt any trickery, then I will start going through with threats. Until then, you may have your time to panic and fantasize about ways out that don't involve giving up company supply. I will be standing here."

He leaned against the door, and his gaze stayed rock-hard on the workers and their cubicles.

Maurice caught the eye of his most tolerable coworker Jacob. Jacob widened his eyes in some silent look of panicked questioning. Maurice shrugged. He was scared out of his mind, but what was there to do? Freaking out wouldn't do anybody any good. He could wait here and see if any ghost hunter showed up, and once they got closer to the end of the hour, everybody could meet up and decide if it was worth giving up the ecto-tech.

For now... well, he certainly wasn't going to do more accounting. This was as good an excuse for a break as any.

He toyed around on his computer for a bit, fidgeting with whatever programs he had. Maybe if the ghost noticed him, he could say he was looking for office schematics explaining where the ecto-tech was held. Really, he couldn't think to do anything but let off stress.

He played around in the rudimentary E-mail client for a bit. Mimed sending goofy messages to his coworkers while he knew he couldn't accidentally send them. But there, at the top of his inbox, was the automated morning office update. It had just come in four minutes ago... after the communications were shut off.

Was there some kind of hole in the ghost's anti-communication measure? The intercoms weren't working, and normal E-mails weren't going through, even within just Finances & Supplies. But the daily updates worked on a different system than the normal E-mails, so nobody had to send them at a consistent time each day, just queue them up.

...Was there something about the different setup that made it immune to the ghost's blackout?

Maurice got to investigating.

MAWS Thoughts on S2E5

Spoilers Including Pictures Ahead!

TLDR - I wasn't a fan of the way things went. I think there are better ways to execute what happened in the ep.

Relationship Conflicts: Lois and Jimmy

1. I think it's corny to have Clois' "break up" be because of a bachelor's show. Yes, Lois is always questioning her worth and has terrible abandonment issues, but I feel like it could have been approached in a more realistic way.

2. In combination to that, Jimmy shouldn't have to hide from Clark because of the convention when Clark was there seeing how much Jimmy was trying to defend him. Jimmy didn't know they were going to bring out Lex and discus Superman being an problem. He was put on the spot and Clark knows that. Why can't he use the brains he has to hunt down cryptids and make the simple conclusion that Clark wouldn't be upset with him and would even find comfort that his friend was put on the spot and still did his best to defend Superman.

Side note. There are 24 hours in the day, Lois and Clark have phones and know where each other lives yet we are to believe they have found ABSOLUTEYLY NO time to talk to each other???

I make these two main points to propose a different sequence of events that still impacts significant relationships after the attack in S2E4:

After the attack, Jimmy suggests that Superman lays low for a while since so many influential people seem to have been convinced of Superman being an issue. Of course Clark would disagree because he can literally hear and see how bad things can get without him helping out and he needs to be identifiable to his cousin when she shows up. After hearing the assignment being given to Cat, Clark finds out that he is wanted at the Bachelor event and would be happy to attend because it's for charity. The issue is he doesn't tell anyone about it because Jimmy and Lois agreed he should lay low. Lois confides in Jimmy about her job offer in Gotham and he offers to go with her to check out the city because he also is following a story about some mysterious things going on there (this could be a way to hint at some batman related stuff). Jimmy and Lois run into Kara and because they have more than one braincell, they figure out she's Clark's cousin and try to bring her to him. Lois find out from Kara's rambling that Clark set off the beaker without telling her and she's upset with him while trying to understand more about Kara. In looking for Clark they find Superman on the dating show but missed the part where Superman explained he was seeing someone. Lois is even more upset since Clark didn't tell her about it (this would be a genuine asshat move on his part, a real flaw instead of some childish thing) and by how well Superman and Silver are getting along and even how she defends him. All of these things compound into her spiraling and Kara has a bad impression of Clark after seeing how hurt Lois is by him and his actions (the concept of being a bad s/o has to exist on Krypton if they are similar to earth enough to have marriages). Kara flips out on Clark and Lois and Jimmy can't convince her to stop. Clark finds out that Kara is mad and him for hurting Lois' feelings and they fight. Kara takes Superman. END OF EP.

Criticisms of Kara + her being set up with Jimmy.

She looks out of place. I get her design is directly inspired by Android 18 from Dragon Ball but her hairstyle specifically is too anime for the more Western based show and MAKES HER LOOK 14 YRS OLD which leads me to my other point.

2. It's weird that she looks 14 and is being set up with Jimmy who's 23 (wiki says he was born in 01'). It's giving the older caretaker of a uneducated child orphan vibes when he was taking her around the city showing her things instead of a first date vibe the show was going for.

3. How is Jimmy in love with her??? Because she's pretty???? He knows nothing about her and why isn't he freaked out by the fact that it obviously seems like she's never experienced extremely common things like hot dogs and ice-cream. His entire deal is sniffing out weird alien and supernatural stuff so how was the way she behaved not a red flag to him??? Also I feel like her being so naive of Earth's culture plays into her being inappropriately young.

Can you write awtr and break our hearts over and over again with Clarke knowing full well what she signed up for when she chooses to be Lexa’s wife? Did Lexa ever wish that she could spare Clarke the heartache of becoming an eventual widow? 💔

Of course she did 🥺

From the beginning it was always Lexa who assumes this thing between them is finite.

That's basically how the proposal comes about.

Because earlier in the day when she'd been talking to Gus and he had brought up the subject of Clarke, their conversation had come to a rather acrimonious end because she already knew everything he was trying to say. And so when she meets Clarke at the diner and they share a salad (her choice) and a shake (Clarke's 😏🙄), it's with every intention to get everything out on the table. They've had a great summer together but things are winding down now and she knows what part of their story has to come to next.

Except... When she asks when Clarke is planning on heading back to school, says she hopes she hasn't been dragging her feet with it because she's heard that grad classes fill up fast, Clarke just smiles and looks at her like she's gone crazy because, "Lex, I'm not going back."

Which is insane. Because of course she is. Because she's worked too hard to just give up now. Because she'd thought Clarke was over this self sabotaging act and gotten serious about what she wants in life. And, ok yes they've been slacking on her early studies the last couple of weeks what with all of The Sex, but it's not like Clarke will actually be behind when she gets there—

It takes Clarke roughly 4 sighs and sitting through the tirade with a level of patience she generally doesn't possess to get Lexa to shush up long enough to explain, "I'm not quitting, baby, I'll go back eventually. But I've already talked to my advisor and gotten everything in order... I'm taking a year long break from school. I'm staying here with you."

Dismay is Lexa's first reaction. Because how can Clarke say that and still be looking at her so lovingly?

Feeling sick to her stomach is her second reaction, though to be fair that might in part have to do with the half quart of milkshake she'd just ingested.

Crying, wanting to cry. That is her third reaction. Because Clarke can't do this. She can't throw away everything she's worked for just for h— Just for this.

But Clarke, stubborn and exasperatingly bullheaded Clarke apparently has very much thought out how she wants her life to go. So she sits Lexa down at 'their' table at Gus's and tells her in no uncertain terms what she plans.

"I want to marry you. I'd do it tonight if I could, but I'm fairly sure that's unrealistic. But whatever you decide, whenever you decide, I need you to know that I want this with you. The sooner, the better," she says with zero hesitation. And it's such a surreal moment for Lexa.

This girl who Lexa had spent the better part of her life pining over on so many of her loneliest days, the girl who'd eternally felt so far out of reach and who'd never give Lexa the time of day, is telling her she wants her. That she wants to be with her for as long as she can have her, in sickness and in health, however long of each that may be. Telling her that it wouldn't matter if they had a day together or a year, or ten years, or twenty more after that waiting for them down the line. That she'd still want to marry her. Right here, right now. Telling her that marriage and commitment isn't about getting a 'good' or 'bad' deal out of things because she knows by those standards, she'd always be fighting a losing battle. But for her, being with Lexa, it's about wanting to be bonded to her forever. To put in the work of loving and caring for her right up until the... Till the end...

Nothing else in the world matters. Everything else feels so small compared to them. And even when faced with the reality that if they do this, if Lexa says yes and that she will be a widow within a year, Clarke doesn't seem to have to think at all about her answer.

"I know what it means. And it doesn't change anything for me. I know what I want, Lexa... I want you."

And for Clarke, it really is that simple.

Lexa never had a chance of arguing with that.

#anon #a walk to remember au #AWTR synopsis #when Lexa says she doesn't want to become Clarke's excuse to quit on the rest of her life #Clarke just gives her that stupid smug grin she loves to hate and hates to love #and says with far too much swagger 'who knows baby. maybe we'll find your miracle after all'#out of everything... that's the moment that haunts Clarke forever

Fun parallel universe. Lionel never meets Lilian. Martha never marries Jonathan.

Now how would Lionel and Martha meet?

I don't know. Martha goes to work for Lionel one day. Martha impresses Lionel with her bad bitch boss energy. Lionel not that evil because Martha has a leash around him. No Lex, Tess or any other kids because Lionel ain't cheating on Martha. They get married and ironically Martha's father approves. Lionel having enough self awareness to not be sure how he feels about that.

Does he Kill the queens? Let's say no.

Anyway Martha and Lionel find Clark together. Lionel low key laughing his ass off and when Clark is the right age. He shows off his son to his little travel group.

Lionel: EAT MY SHIT YOU RICH BITCHES!

Moira: Wait the travel just....dropped out of the sky where you happened to be at?

Lionel: YES!

Anyway Clark Luthor being best friends with Oliver Queen? I want to say yes. Let's even throw in some Bruce Wayne in there. Do they have a rivalry over Lois. Meh it's fine don't worry about it. Lois picked Clark.

*snorts* Lionel would so gloat that he found the Traveler first.

My take on how they would have met would require some age finagling. I know the fandom considers Lionel born in ‘44 based on Glover’s actual age. It never sat well with me considering how much younger Lionel looked on screen. So this is something I actually stick as my headcanons for him, Lionel is born in ‘54 which makes him 8 years older than Martha.

Lionel would have still met Lillian and married her so Lex is born, but due to her heart condition, the stress of the birth was too much and she died in childbirth. Lex never knew his mother and Lionel is finding it difficult to connect with a child he blames for his wife’s death.

He meets Martha in Metropolis University in 1984 as a guest speaker for a business course she’s attending. She’s 22 and he’s 30. He’s already a multi millionaire on his way to becoming a multi billionaire before the decade is over. She’s an aspiring lawyer with a business sense akin to his own.

Her questions intrigue him and he seeks her out after class, offering to take her to dinner. She accepts, only because a girl friend wants to hook her up with a football jock she had met (Jonathan Kent) and really isn’t looking forward to a blind date.

They find their interests align and Lionel can’t help but be amazed by the purity of goodness in this woman. It fascinates him and he wants to know more about her until he realizes he wants her in his life. Martha compliments him in the same way Lillian had and knows he needs that unbridled honesty both women had in common. Without it, he is certain to fall deeper into darkness.

Martha meets Lex and knows how to get the boy to open up to her. Lex immediately latches onto her and Lionel is relieved that Martha knows what to do with his son. He certainly did not have a clue.

After a year of dating, Lionel proposes and Martha accepts. They marry in 1986 and Lionel joins Veritas in 1987. He still tries to buy the factory and brings Lex to Smallville where they encounter the meteor shower and Kal-el.

Jonathan still finds Kal-el first since his family was meant to by Jor-el. But he’s unmarried and has no desire to adopt a random, lost child. So when Lionel Luthor offers to take the boy off his hands, Jonathan doesn’t hesitate.

Kal-el is brought home to Metropolis where Martha falls in love with him and insists on adopting the boy. Lionel suspects who he is and has no issue in indulging his wife, especially considering they have been trying for years now to have a child of their own.

He does run tests to confirm that “Clark” is indeed the Traveler and once he does, he’s quite pleased. He still wants to control the boy and had Robert and Laura Queen killed for Robert’s key. But as Clark gets older and Martha dotes on Clark and Lex, Lionel finds it harder and harder to want to control the child.

Martha is to blame, of course. Lionel loves her far too much to want to hurt her and he will if he hurts Clark. He gives in a settles for being Clark’s father until Jor-el interferes in their lives.

Pretty much the same coming of age experiences happen to Clark and those around him. Lionel is still exposed by Chloe Sullivan and is arrested and put on trial for murder. It puts to test his relationship with Martha and their children. In the end Martha stands beside him and works to get his conviction overturned.

Like before he suffers from terminal liver cancer. Like before he intended to swap places with Lex but Clark gets in the way. He and Lex did not get along despite Martha helping to raise him. Lionel still blames him for Lillian’s death.

Genevieve helps get his conviction overturned and blackmails him into helping her acquire the stone he had found while in prison.

A lot of what happens in the series still happens. She eventually becomes Senator of Kansas. He becomes Jor-el’s emissary. Clark becomes Superman and Lex helps him. Despite his father not loving him, he had at least Martha and Clark, so he doesn’t entire distrust everyone.

Lex and Clark are close knit brothers anyway. It would have to take a serious incident to break their bond.

Because Lex is in a better place mentally, he doesn’t try to murder Lionel. But he doesn’t help him when Patricia tries to blackmail his father into handing over Clark. Lionel is betrayed by Lex on this and Martha struggles to keep Lionel out of prison a second time.

He makes her keep her distance from him while she is a Senator but Martha refuses to give up on her husband. She knows that Patricia’s evidence is fabricated. She knows Genevieve had murdered Swann and in turn was killed by Lana. Jason died in the meteor shower and Lionel suspects Edward went to ground somewhere. The only one she’s not certain about are the Queens.

Morgan Edge was named once more as having arranged for the plane to have an accident. Having his name pop up again in a murder trial against her husband would make things far too difficult to win against. It doesn’t help that Patricia is found murdered either.

Lionel knows he’s going to prison a second time for something he didn’t do. He doesn’t get out of prison until a year after when Martha convinces the President to pardon him. She still tries to work in clearing his name but she’s happy he’s free and home.

Lionel decides to retire and let Lex run things, too tired from fighting with his son. He and Martha move to Washington so she can work on her career as a Senator.

Oh and they do end up with a child of their own thanks to the ship healing Martha.

Never The Same.

Part 11.

Pairings: Jake x Mc.

Warnings: Swearing, violence, angst, smut, other pairings;), traumatic experiences.

Words: 5.7k

Author's note: Honestly, this story is going to be a big piece of work and a lot of angst. It's not connected to the game at all. Because I always want to try something new and newer. Read it only if you're into angst stories, please. Thank you and let's go!

A small smile made its way onto my face as soon as I walked into Jake's office. Today would be my first official meeting where I would be considered a part of the group. Today was the very first day my new job inside this gang would start. I would no longer be serving coffee and cleaning. I would be here for tactical purposes only.

Today the meeting with Thomas was planned. Jake and Thomas were supposed to meet somewhere next week and the group wanted everything to go as smoothly as possible. They couldn't afford something to go wrong. Once Thomas would get suspicious of their true intentions for meeting him, he would surely never tell them anything about Tegan's whereabouts. On top of that, he would surely start a war against the red crew.

"Helena!" I exclaimed once I saw the small girl standing next to the coffee machine. The blonde girl was the one who would take over my role while I joined the group at the table. A part of me felt bad for her now that she was forced to be the one serving them during the meeting but a part of me was also hopeful for her.

Of course, I knew that she was scared to death of Jake and the other teammates at the table but then again, so had I been.

Everything turned out alright for me and I was sure everything would turn out alright for her too. Quickly I walked towards where the smaller girl was standing with a smile on my face.

"Hey!" I happily said while sending a bright smile her way. Shocked Helena looked at me before slowly looking down.

"H-hi Ms. Estrada." She spoke nervously while trying to do everything in her power to avoid eye contact with me. A confused look began to form on my face and I looked at her with raised eyebrows. Why was she being so formal with me?

"It's me, Helena. It's Mc, you don't have to be formal with me." I spoke to her in a friendly tone.

The two of us had been friends before and while I hadn't seen Helena in the past couple of weeks I wanted her to know that nothing between the two of us had changed. Yeah, I was part of Jake's group of people now but I was still the same girl.

"She should be formal to you Mc." Jake suddenly spoke from behind me. He softly laid a hand on my back while standing beside me.

"You're ranked way higher than she is. If she won't show respect to you then who will?" He then spoke before sending a wink my way.

"Don't be so sweet towards everyone baby, people might take advantage of that fact." Jake then finished before removing his hand from my back again and walking over towards his seat.

A tense silence began to form between Helena and me. Of course, Jake's words had been right, but Helena was my friend.

My friends weren't supposed to formally address me right? Jake himself was the damn boss of this gang and yet I had never heard Jessy or Lex formally address him. The both of them would laugh in his face if Jake ever proposed that idea.

"So, where are you sleeping nowadays?" I decided to ask. Helena and I had been sleeping on the same floor before. Our rooms had even been right next to each other.

Since the whole floor was currently unavailable she must've gotten another place to sleep too huh? However, the blonde girl looked at me as if I had grown two heads.

"What do you mean?" She asked, confusion lacing her voice. Helena looked like she had no idea what it was that I was talking about and a confused look began to form on my face as well.

"You know since our whole floor is unavailable right now due to a sprung water pipe," I explained to her. However, to my surprise, an even more confused look began to form on Helena's face and she softly began to shake her head.

"There isn't a-" She began to say but suddenly got cut off by Jessy who looked like she had come running our way.

"She sleeps on the guard's floor." She quickly said before looking at Helena with a serious look on her face. Soft puffs of air left her mouth and her face was a light red color due to the running she had done not even a minute ago.

"Right, Helena?"

Quickly the girl began to nod and her eyes grew big. I slowly began to raise both my eyebrows and I looked at the duo in front of me with a weird look on my face.

Jessy and Helena were both suddenly acting super strange and I had no idea why.

"Okay." I decided to say before turning around and walking towards my seat. I didn't want to busy myself with whatever it was that those two had going on.

Maybe the two of them had some kind of secret. Some secret I couldn't know of. Whatever it was I wasn't interested in figuring it out.

Once all the gang sat down and Helena had served everyone their coffee Jake cleared his throat.

"Right, so my meeting with Thomas is scheduled for next week and we need to talk about a strategy." He began to speak while looking around the table. This meeting was very important for Jake since he might finally find out where his stepbrother had been hiding all this time...

"I've got someone on the inside who keeps me up to date with everything he does but so far he doesn't have any information about Tegan," Kaden spoke up while softly blowing on his cup of coffee.

Kaden was known to have connections everywhere and this time he didn't disappoint again. If you needed information then Kaden was the person you needed to go to.

"My men have been watching his building too constantly and so far neither Valerie nor Tegan has decided to show up again," Dan added once Kaden was finished. Immediately all eyes were on him and he softly sighed.

"I guess it comes down to you to get that information next week Jake." He then added while looking at Jake. He softly nodded while a deep sigh left his mouth.

"Great, so we got nothing." Jessy then suddenly spoke with a smirk on her face. She leaned back in her chair while locking eyes with Jake.

"Then we can finally talk about interesting stuff now!" She continued the smirk on her face widening. All eyes were immediately on her and she softly began to laugh.

"So, are you two already more than friends or do I have to try even harder?" She asked while looking from Jake to me and back.

Immediately a dark red blush began to form on my face and I looked shocked at Jessy. Jake and I weren't anything close to being more than friends. I wasn't even sure if Jake considered me to be a friend.

Why the hell would Jessy embarrass the two of us like that. Lex immediately began to laugh loudly once those words had left Jessy's mouth.

"Yo I hadn't thought about it that way but I ship it," Lex said in an amused tone, clearly teasing the two of us. A deep sigh left Jake's mouth and an annoyed look became visible on his face.

"This is straight-up bullshit." He spoke before he softly closed his eyes and began to massage his temples.

"Why the fuck is that relevant for this meeting."

Sam, who had been quiet the whole time suddenly raised his hands while looking at the rest of the gang.

"I don't want to be rude or anything." He began to say before a wide smile became visible on his face too. "But I'm quite interested in this new subject. Where do I sign up for it?"

Immediately Sam received a high-five from Lex and Jessy and my eyes grew big. Why was everyone so interested in my and Jake's relationship? The two of us had nothing special going on. Why did everyone have to think that we did?

An even more annoyed look became visible on Jake's face as he looked at the three of them with a scowl on his face.

"Right, I'm not sticking around to listen to this bullshit any longer." He spoke before getting up from his seat and looking at me.

"You coming Mc?"

Immediately I stood up too and followed Jake outside. I would do anything to get away from the others right now. My whole face had been heating up and I was sure I was as red as a tomato by now. I didn't like this kind of attention at all.

"Make sure she can walk tomorrow Jake! I need her then!" Jessy shouted after the two of us. Immediately my blush increased tenfold and a shocked look made its way onto my face. Jessy had not just shouted that.

"Fuck you!" Jake shouted back before leaving his office completely and walking into the elevator. I quickly followed him and a sigh left both of our mouths once the doors of the big elevator closed. Never had I been so happy to be able to leave a room.

Now all that was left was the weird tingling feeling inside my stomach.

A delicious smell filled my nostrils as I watched how Jake skillfully was making a delicious-looking meal. After the awkward meeting of today, both of us decided to just go home and do absolutely nothing.

An impressed look began to form on my face as I saw how fast Jake chopped all the vegetables and my eyes grew big. He was skilled when it came to cooking and slowly I began to feel hungry. Everything Jake was making looked delicious.

It didn't take long before Jake finished cooking and within no time both of us were seated at the dinner table with big plates of delicious-looking food in front of us.

"I'm sorry about Jessy, Lex, and Sam today," Jake said right before he stuffed some food inside his mouth. A small smile made its way onto my face and I softly shook my head.

"Don't be. I know how they are and besides, you can't control what they say." I answered in a friendly tone while a small smile was still present on my face.

Slowly I took a big bite of my food and immediately the delicious taste filled my whole mouth. This stuff tasted as if it came straight out of heaven and softly I closed my eyes. I wanted to enjoy this food as much as I could.

Unfortunately for me, I was a disaster at cooking. Somehow I always managed to cut myself when I tried to cut vegetables and whenever I had to cook something it always ended up black and burned.

Luckily Jake wasn't anything like that and knew how to make a decent meal. Otherwise, the two of us would have starved by now.

It didn't take long before both of us had finished our meal and quickly I stood up to do the dishes. It was only fair that I would clean up after cooking since Jake had been the one who had done all the cooking.

However, Jake seemed to think differently and once I got up to get the plates and bring them to the dishwasher he did the same.

A deep red blush appeared on my face when I and Jake both reached for the same plate and accidentally brushed against each other. With a shy look on my face, I slowly looked up while my face slowly turned the color of a tomato.

However, to my surprise, a small blush was also seen on Jake's face as soon as the two of us locked eyes. Quickly Jake broke our eye contact again while clearing his throat.

"I'll start in the kitchen." He then spoke before letting go of the plate and walking over towards the kitchen as fast as he could.

A deep breath of air immediately left my mouth as soon as he walked away and I touched my cheeks with both my hands. I felt so shy and yet a tingling feeling was present in my stomach.

Lately, I had been feeling more and more at ease around Jake and somehow that weird feeling in my stomach began to appear more and more around him.

Jake made me shy when he looked at me and yet I wanted nothing more than that. I craved some attention from him and I felt like I was on top of the world anytime I got it. Was this just friendship or something more?

It didn't take long for me to place everything in the dishwasher and look up at Jake who was still cleaning the kitchen. Quickly I walked towards a cabinet to also get some cleaning supplies to help him even though he looked like he was almost done.

I would have appreciated it if someone would help me and thus I would do the same for someone else. However suddenly two strong arms wrapped around me and my eyes grew big immediately once I felt small puffs of air hit my cheek.

"Why don't you go to the living room and pick out a movie while I finish cleaning?" Jake softly whispered into my ear while pressing his chest against my back.

Immediately my blush from earlier returned, and I felt goosebumps all over my body. It was as if he knew exactly what to do to make me feel shy and excited at the same time.

"O-okay," I answered softly while a shy tone was lacing my voice. Being around Jake was already enough to make me feel very shy but now that he was hugging me, it was even worse.

Sure I enjoyed it a lot but I had no idea what I was supposed to do. Of course, I'd want to turn around and hug him back but Jake would probably think that I was nuts and laugh at me. That is something I didn't want to experience.

Soon Jake unwrapped his arms from my waist before turning around and walking back to the kitchen to get back to his cleaning duty.

A big sigh left my mouth and I walked towards the living room while feeling all kinds of things inside my chest. Jake fucked up my feelings and even though he wasn't aware of that fact he was doing everything he could to make me feel as confused as possible.

Slowly I sat down on Jake's big couch before turning on the tv and going straight to Netflix. That app must have some good movies right? As I was scrolling through the movies all I could think about was the warm embrace I had gotten from him and thus I wasn't paying attention to what movie we were gonna watch.

As long as it wasn't some romantic shit I was fine with it. I didn't need to create the most embarrassing atmosphere ever by putting on some of that lovey-dovey stuff.

"Have you found something interesting?" Jake spoke as he walked into the living room and took a seat right next to me. Immediately I became nervous again and thus I picked out the first movie I saw. The Conjuring didn't sound too bad right?

"You sure about that one?" Jake spoke while he raised his eyebrows.

"Yup." I quickly answered, nervousness lacing my voice.

Truth was that I had no idea which movie I had picked out. Jake's presence had made me once again very nervous and thus I had clicked on the first thing that I had seen. Let's just hope this movie isn't too bad.

Thirty minutes later I regretted my choice. I was scared to death and I was hugging a pillow like my life depended on it. I hated horror movies all of my life and yet that had to be the genre I had picked out. This damn movie would surely haunt me in my dreams and I didn't like it one bit.

Jake next to me was only laughing every time I jumped in fear again and he softly took my pillow out of my hands before taking me in a warm embrace.

"We can watch something else if that's what you want." He softly spoke in a loving tone while caressing one of my upper arms. Immediately the blush from before returned to my face and my eyes grew big.

Nevertheless, I did lean back into his embrace while slowly taking his unoccupied hand and taking it in my own.

"No, it's fine," I spoke as a small smile began to make its way onto my face. If watching a horror movie got me this close to Jake then I would be willing to watch it some more. Jake began to laugh softly while shaking his head.

"Whatever you wish baby."

Can anybody be happy if they aren't free? That is a famous quote said by none other than Belle from beauty and the beast. She wasn't only pretty, she had a strong personality and was super smart too.

I had never been able to understand how you can grow to love the one who took everything away from you. Lately, I changed my thought about that very fact.

I got captured by someone who is feared by everyone. I was also held captive by that same person and even though I didn't get taken to some huge castle, this big skyscraper was a pretty good alternative. Sure there wasn't talking furniture around me here but I was pretty sure Jake's friends would pass as the crazy factor in my story as well. And of course last but not least, just like Belle had done, I too had grown to have feelings for my captor.

Some people might say that I've gotten a certain diagnosis called Stockholm Syndrome. I, however, thought differently about that fact.

At first, I had been scared as hell of Jake, I couldn't deny that. Jake had been a straight-up monster in my eyes and there wasn't any form of humanity visible in his eyes. However, as the weeks slowly passed by Jake slowly began to open up more and more to me.

I had found out about the reason for his anger and I had also figured out things I thought were important to me. Slowly Jake's real personality had begun to show and I couldn't help but think that it was beautiful. He wasn't a monster, most people just didn't know the real him well enough.

A few weeks had passed by since the two of us had our fun movie night. Ever since then butterflies had been flying all around my stomach whenever I was close to him.

Jake knew exactly what he had to do to make me blush, and feel nervous, and how to make me shy. Even though Jake himself probably had no idea he did all these things to me, that didn't matter to me. I liked being around him a lot and I didn't want to ruin that.

Last week I finally accepted the fact that I liked Jake. For a long time, I hadn't been able to understand why he made me feel so super nervous yet so freaking happy all the time but now I finally understood.

I had a massive crush on Jake and it was only getting bigger. There was no way for me to deny it anymore, I knew damn well what my feelings meant.

Of course, I wasn't trying to sugarcoat my and Jake's current relationship, however. I was pretty sure that Jake didn't feel the same way about me at all and that he was only allowing me to live with him because he felt sorry for what he had done.

There was no way someone like Jake could ever fall in love with someone like me. The beast might have fallen in love with Belle but that was because she was very special and beautiful. I wasn't anything like that. I was pretty ordinary and boring according to myself, something Jake would never grow to like.

Besides this wasn't a fairytale where every story ends with a happy ending. This was my life. Oh, how I wished to become some stupid character in a book only so that the author could write me the happy ending I desperately craved for.

Currently, I was trying to read a piece about how red crew corporations had violated the law by doing some illegal shit while Jake himself was taking a shower. Of course, everything the company was being accused of was true and thus Jake had asked me to look into it and try to find a way in which they could be proven to be innocent, even if they weren't.

According to Jake, I was an amazing lawyer while the ones who were hired for this case were doing a very shitty job. As Jake had said so himself, I would have pled him free if he hadn't decided to escape himself, even though Jake had been guilty of everything he had done it once and he could do it again.

A small smile made its way on my face as I thought about what Kaden had said this morning. He had come over to Jake's apartment and the two of them were talking about how shitty the lawyers they had hired were until suddenly both of them had looked at me with weird looks on their faces.

Jake had come over to me and explained to me what it was that they wanted of me, to encourage me Kaden had said.

"Mc use your lawyer brain, you're good at this shit."

Of course, I couldn't say no after that. After all, this was what I had studied to master. I was a freaking lawyer and I knew damn well how that shit worked. It was time to get back into the business.

Slowly I took a bite from my banana while carefully scanning every single letter printed on the paper in front of me. Bananas were like power food to me. The yellow fruit always helped me to fully focus on whatever I was doing and it didn't take long before I was completely caught up in the piece of paper in front of me.

Soon however suddenly small drops of water fell on my paper and the light inside the room became a lot darker. A confused look began to form on my face and I slowly began to take another bite of my banana. Maybe another water pipe had sprung or something?

That didn't explain the decreased lighting on my paper, however. This was all very weird.

"Did you already find something?" Jake suddenly whispered into my ear and immediately a shocked feeling began to form in my chest. Immediately I began to cough loudly while quickly taking the banana out of my mouth again.

Immediately a red blush began to form on my face and my eyes grew big. I did not just choke on a freaking banana in front of my crush. That looked so damn wrong. A soft laugh left Jake's mouth as he watched the scene in front of him and he shook his head.

"I guess you're not that experienced then." He teased me and I became even redder than before.

"Shut up, I didn't see you come in." I defended myself before turning around to look at him.

Immediately upon turning around my eyes grew big and my mouth fell open. Jake was standing in front of me with nothing more but a white towel hanging loosely around his hips. Small droplets of water were decorating his chest and his jet black hair was a hot mess. There was no way Jake wasn't teasing me on purpose.

"G-go and get dressed." I quickly spoke before turning around again while my face began to heat up even more. I felt my heart rate increase and my breathing became a bit irregular.

Jake was driving me crazy with his teasing and it wouldn't take long before I couldn't handle it anymore. He was surely becoming my death.

"Why? Am I making you nervous?" Jake suddenly softly spoke inside my ear again, a husky tone lacing his voice.

Immediately my breath hitched in my throat and my eyes grew even bigger. What the fuck had gotten into Jake?

However, a soft laugh soon left Jake's mouth again and he softly squeezed my shoulder.

"I like teasing you so much," He admitted before turning around and walking towards his bedroom. "I'll put some clothes on." He said while winking at me.

Once he had left the living room I raised both my hands and put them on my cheeks. My whole face was burning up and a shocked yet excited feeling was still present in my chest. What the hell he was doing to me?

An insecure look became visible on my face as soon as I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a silk black tight dress and I wasn't completely sure if I looked good in them.

Softly I began to straighten my dress while looking at myself in the mirror with doubt visible in my eyes. Would this be good enough?

Currently, I was dressing myself up for a fancy party at the red eye dice, one of the casinos of red crew corporations.

Jessy and Lex had invited me and they would be picking me up in half an hour from now. Of course, that meant that I had more than enough time to change if I wanted to but with that, another problem also came lurking around the corner. If I wasn't going to wear this outfit then what the hell would I wear?

Jake wouldn't be joining the three of us at the party. He had some business meetings scheduled together with Kaden. The both of them would be meeting Thomas for their little plan to work.

That man had the answers they wanted and the two of them would do anything to get their hands on them. Tegan wouldn't be safe for much longer once Jake would find his hiding place.

A deep sigh left my mouth before I decided to just walk toward the living room. Immediately Jake's familiar face could be spotted on the couch while he was working on his laptop. With a sad face, I walked over to where he was sitting before taking place next to him.

"Why the sad face, baby?" Jake spoke as soon as he noticed the look on my face. Slowly I looked down while another deep sigh left my mouth.

"I look hideous," I spoke softly while an insecure tone was lacing my voice. Immediately Jake closed his laptop and placed a finger underneath my chin.

"You look stunning in anything. Now lift your head princess or your crown might slip off your head." He spoke in a sweet tone before sending a wink my way.

Immediately a soft red blush began to form on my face and my eyes grew big. Jake always knew exactly what to say to create a blush on my face. It was like Jake was doing it on purpose.

"I'm not sure if I should even go." I then spoke while locking eyes with him. I wasn't very curvy and while multiple people had told me that I had a pretty face, I thought so differently. I wasn't anything special, I was just an ordinary girl who had chased her dreams.

"And why in hell would you not go Mc?" Jake then asked, a confused tone lacing his voice.

According to Jake, Mc was the definition of perfect. The girl had a slim figure and a pretty face. However, that didn't matter much to Jake. Mc's personality was amazing and without a doubt, the girl was the kindest and most caring person Jake had ever met. The fact that Mc always failed to see how amazing she truly was saddened Jake a lot. She was very insecure and there wasn't any reason for it. Mc was perfect just the way she is.

"Because I look horrible," I said again while that insecure look became visible on my face. A deep sigh left Jake's mouth and he softly shook his head. A small smirk began to form on his face and he slowly crawled a bit closer to me.

"You know what, you're right. I don't think you should go tonight." Jake suddenly spoke. A big smirk was visible on his face and he looked at me as if I was some sort of prey.

An even sadder look quickly began to form on my face as soon as those words left Jake's mouth. I knew that I looked horrible. Jake had just tried to make me feel better. However, I knew damn well that I looked like shit. There was no point for Jake to keep lying if the truth was this obvious.

However soon I felt a hand softly press against my cheek and I was suddenly met with Jake's face. There was only a small gap between the two of us. Immediately my eyes grew big. What the hell was Jake doing?

A nervous feeling quickly began to overtake me completely and my heart rate picked up its pace quickly. Never before had the two of us been this close. An excited spark rushed up my spine as soon as Jake slowly began to lean in and my breath hitched in my throat.

A tense atmosphere was hanging between the both of us and an excited feeling began to form in my chest. I wanted nothing more than to be close to him. It had all I had been thinking about lately. Softly Jake brushed his lips over mine before giving me a small kiss on my lips.

"I'd rather have you all for myself tonight." He spoke before leaning in again and pressing his lips against mine.

As soon as Jake closed the gap between us completely I felt like I was in heaven. It was as if fireworks exploded in the distance and my life goal was fulfilled.

This moment was so magical to me that I wished to cherish it forever. I needed Jake to stay close forever. Slowly I began to wrap my arms around his neck before following his lead.

Both of us were slowly moving our lips against each other's and a deep red blush began to form on both of our faces. This moment was perfect and no one would be able to steal it away from us.

Slowly Jake licked my bottom lip and immediately I opened my mouth to let him in. Sparks of excitement rushed through my veins and I tightened my grip around his neck.

Immediately Jake pushed his tongue forcefully into my mouth and took the upper hand of our kiss. I gladly followed his lead and let him do whatever he wanted to do. Whatever Jake wanted, I was all in for it. I was all his.

Slowly Jake began to move his hands and placed them on the back of my head while he used the other to steady me. I was like putty in his hands. He could do anything he wanted with me and it gave me a very good feeling.

A loud yelp left my mouth as soon as Jake suddenly bit down on my bottom lip. However, it was soon followed by a spark of excitement and I felt Jake's smirk in our kiss.

"You like that baby?" He huskily whispered once he briefly disconnected his lips from mine, only to move on to my neck.

Immediately he began to suck on my neck and heavy puffs of air began to leave my mouth. Everything Jake did felt so fucking good and I didn't want the feeling to ever go away.

"Y-Yes very much." I managed to stammer out before I felt Jake slowly disconnect his lips from my neck, only to slowly kiss his way upwards.

"Mm-!" A loud moan left my mouth as soon as Jake began to suck on a certain spot behind my ear. Immediately a big smirk began to form on Jake's face and he began to suck on that certain spot more and more.

However unfortunately the sound of the elevator reaching our floor suddenly sounded through the room. Immediately both of us jumped apart. Deep red blushes were visible on both of our faces. Both of us had red, swollen lips and while a shy look was visible on my face, a big smirk was visible on Jake's.

"Yo Mc are you ready?" Jessy spoke once she walked into the room together with Lex. Immediately she halted her steps as soon as she noticed the intense stare the two of us in front of her were giving each other. Soon after she noticed our blushes and swollen lips. An amused smirk became visible on her face.

"Or maybe we should just leave you two alone."

However, as soon as those words left Jessy's mouth Jake softly shook his head before standing up from the couch.

"I have to get ready for the meeting anyway." He spoke before looking at flustered me on the couch. He sent a wink my way before turning around and walking toward his bedroom.

Meanwhile, there was still a big blush visible on my face and it felt like my whole face was on fire. A lot of time to think about what had happened wasn't something I had however because before I knew it Lex and Jessy dragged me from the couch while taking me to the elevator.

Both girls had huge grins on their faces and looked creepy as hell according to me.

As soon as the three of us were standing in the elevator both girls turned toward me. An uneasy feeling began to form in my chest as I looked at my friends with a weird look on my face.

"What?" I decided to say. The two other girls briefly exchanged a look before focusing on me once more.

"We want details, now!"

I might be in the minority but I was shipping Maria and Michael in the reboot I liked him and Kyle too but idk I was more into Michael and Maria at least Max and Liz didn't break up or anything too bad the show was cancelled D: (I know the showed ended a while ago but I was marathoning it recently)

sjghdaasdkjfdsjh idk what prompted this since I don't talk much about roswell anymore but hi 👋. michael/maria wasn't my vibe personally (I don't love that they had sex before she knew anything about aliens + the cover up), but I very much preferred it to m@lex. I was really into maria/dallas in the final season but if the writers hadn't gone that route I honestly think maria/kyle would've made more sense than kyle/isobel ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ also I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuge maria/max shipper like if we're specifically talking canon plot that's my #1 ship actually

and idk if you're looking for a rant or not akfjdhdsjkhf but honestly I have a ton of issues w how max and liz's rship was written post mid season 2. I loathed the mad scientist plot in s2 and it was worse when the writers revisited it in s4. the show from day 1 was promoted as max and liz's story and after s1 their rship takes a backseat - s2 they have like 2 episodes together before the mad scientist bullshit, s3 they only interact in like 5 episodes (3.03, 3.09, 3.10, 3.12, 3.13 if my memory serves me correctly), s4 finally seemed to be on the right track before liz basically threw a tantrum at max exercising some bodily autonomy and then she goes mad scientist again and max just reluctantly accepts it all when he should just walk away. and then the finale basically just rejects everything the show set up in s1 - I'm convinced if someone watched the pilot and immediately followed it up with the series finale they would not believe it was the same show. max has spent 4 seasons being self-sacrificing to a fault and now he's going to oasis to save everyone on that planet (literally the thing that clyde wanted to do and that the group killed him for???? make it make sense!) and as far as he knows this could kill him - he technically died when he revived rosa, what will healing a planet do to him?? and honestly the tail end of s4 plays out as the writers punishing liz - she starts losing her memories and literally cannot be a scientist anymore (which is teased that it is going to be fixed off-screen but.... still incredibly ugly given how important science is to her) and then rosa leaves, max leaves, she can't confide in her dad bc he was never let in on the alien secret (do not get me started on my rant about this)... 4.01 sets up her arc to be overcoming her abandonment fears and max's proposal is relentlessly teased all season just for the fake out with alex proposing and michael immediately accepting (cause that makes sense when just a couple months ago he could barely handle the thought of moving in w alex) and then the writers completely bulldoze a proposal it's just 'hey yeah I'm leaving but let's call ourselves engaged' and as I've already said, max leaves. so...... how is that helping liz overcome her abandonment fears lol. I just viscerally hate 95% of the final season. and pretty much every second of the final two episodes.

anyway..... long winded way to say that I am not sorry about the cancellation, I wish it had happened before s4 had been made.

I'm here to propose more concepts (some a bit OOC but it is an AU):

both boys are sent to Kansas, Earth, both to Smallville or neighboring towns from entirely different planets. Kansas is just an alien magnet.

Clark, age 12: man I just found out I'm an alien :( I knew I was adopted but this is crazy

Brandon, oblivious: ha lmao I guess I'm the normal one now

Ma and Pa Kent, sweating nervously: about that ,

Brightburn does actually still go through his emo phase once he starts hearing the messages from his ship but he's offered a Snickers/one of Ma's homemade meals and that combined with the knowledge that Clark could take him down makes him hesitate long enough to regain his empathy

I like the idea that Brandon is originally found by the Breyers or a different family before finding the Kents by complete coincidence, being like "oh my god you also have a spaceship baby??? you seem much more well equipped for this" and either have him live with the Kents during a certain season or have the Kents properly adopt him (I think this works better if Clark is a bit older than Brandon so it's clear he's a fairly well-adjusted kid by the time Brandon is adopted)

Brandon wants to become an artist but he ends up as a photographer working for the Daily Planet.

Clark knows if things get bad and Brandon's planet try to reach out to him there's a good chance he won't be able to help himself, I can see them being inseparable in the sense that Clark keeps Brandon from lashing out unnecessarily and Brandon keeps Clark from being a complete doormat.

In Metropolis Lex tries to use Kryptonite on Brightburn and ends up with a broken rib, fuming.

Brightburn: you assumed that just because we're both alien superheroes we're from the same planet?? That's racist :/ Be better

You know that movie; Brightburn; aka that Superman fanfic movie we’re Clark is evil and kills everyone?

Yea……what if….the two characters were brothers???

Clark; this is my twin brother Brandon!

Brandon:……..

Clark; he….don’t like people

——

Brandon; we should murder people! These humans are weak and stupid

Clark; listen I know your upset that your crush didn’t like you….but have you considered that people don’t like getting dead animals?

—-

Clark; I meets this girl; Lois Lane! She nice and pretty and—rambles about his crush

Brandon: hmmm yeah whatever.. don’t care

Later that day; taking to Lois

Brandon; break my brother heart I’ll break your hand; got it?

Lois; o-oh ok!

—

I'm not quite sure how to articulate this, so I'm just going to do the best I can.

Two of the main things that drive Lex, Luthor are his fear of the unknown, Superman is alien, he's from a different planet and Lex Luthor to scared of that, but he's also afraid that Superman will go out of control that without anything to balance them without anything that can take him down. He thinks that there needs to be something that can take him down if needed. Thus, I think that it would be funny. If Lex Luthor knows that Clark. Kent is Superman doesn't care because If Superman's on the job, then he cares.

If Lex Luthor approved of what Superman does of the good he does. But he is concerned that one day, Superman will go out of control and given how DC writes, he's not wrong.

That's I propose my idea: Superman catch and release.

Lex Luthor creates his Luther bots, Superman fights the Luther bots.

He doesn't necessarily want Superman to be hurt. He just wants to be able to defeat him and once Superman surrenders, then he's more than willing to let him go more than willing to let him continue on heroing. I think that this is really comedic when combined with the idea that they went to high school together. I believe that comes from the Smallville TV show. I think it's also good if Lex Luthor knows Clark Kent and Superman are the same person. Because he likes Clark Kent. He doesn't mind Superman. He's just concerned.

Clark: Why are you doing this?

Lex: I just want to make sure there is someone out there who can stop you if you ever become a supervillain.

Clark:

Clark: Okay. Repeat that back to me, but slower this time.

Lex: If you turn evil I will take you down.

Clark: Uh-huh, so-

Billy, having just gotten back from fighting an evil superman in an alternate reality: *eating popcorn very loudly*

Billy: I mean, he kinda has a point.

Clark:

Billy: But also you should probably stop doing crime, Mr. Luthor.

Lex: Hey! That is not the focus of this conversation here.

Clark: No, no, let’s stick to this for a moment. How come when you do bad things it’s all like ‘stop interfering,’ and ‘stop printing my dastardly deeds in the newspaper,’ but when I save the city, AGAIN, it’s all ‘let’s go try to capture superman again.’

Billy: He does have a point.

Lex: Why are you even here?

Billy: Batman gave me $500 bucks to remind you that he can take both of you out if needed.

Clark: Okay, first of all, rude. True, but rude. Second of all-

Billy: And also that he will sic his kids on you if you don’t stop calling him to complain about each other.

Sorry if uve answered this before but like. What do u think kon and clarks relationship? I kinda like them being on good terms but in the nebulous ur ny uncle/brother/cousin/close family memeber deal instead of clark being a parent because... waves hands at luthor and the uh. Kinda constant issues of how kon was created and also because I think kon deserves to choose what people to mean to him after everything he's been thru but what do u think

ive had a couple asks about this and i dont remember if ive answered it before or not but i guess ill separate my thoughts into Fanon/my preferred timeline and then canon. but i think im in the same general camp where i think that theyre relationship is very nebulous, but don't mind if Parent is one of those relationships thrown into the mix. saying theyre brothers doesnt feel 100% right, but saying theyre father-son also doesnt feel totally right? i literally don't know how to explain how i feel about it but if you read this maybe it will be more clear

uh this will be long

1)Canon (pre retcon and post retcon)

Sooooo firstly with canon, i chalk a lot of the choices up to the narrative constraints and dc editorial things? because one, they wanted superboy to be a solo hero and not a sidekick, and two, his original story is that he is not a superman clone, but just a clone from a shitbag scientist named Paul Westfield that was altered to look and mimic clark, which is also pretty weird and understandably off-putting for clark still.

then when clark finally "returns from the dead" he's still pretty concerned about the kid? like he helps kon figure out what to do with cadmus and all, and then kon gives clark's old apartment back to him and says he's gonna find a new place and fly "second star to the right and straight on till morning" T-T

and you know from then on he's just a guy that occasionally pops up and gives kon advice.

and then we get to the whole "brother thing" because when kon went into hypertime and met teen clark, teen clark assumed his adult self had shared his secret identity and life with kon, which makes kon feel insecure about not being trustworthy. teen clark explains that he probably has a reason and says they could be like brothers. and when kon comes back and confronts kal-el, kal tells him he's family.

they do act familial, but the brother thing was proposed by clark first so it's not as clear on kon's side. personally, despite his rebellious attitude and insistence on being his own man, he's still a kid, and with how much kon latches onto father figures, laments about not having a real father or mother and even wishes he had one, gets distraught at the thought of losing his father figures like guardian or dubbilex, i don't really blame some readers for hoping clark would step in more as either a mentor or something more?

but again, that would require some big narrative commitments and mightve made it hard for them to be solo heroes with separate lives, and supergirls a solo hero too with a similar age range but she's already been established as a cousin.

now after the retcon, its been changed so that kon is half lex luthor half clark, and though there's still a mixed bag of opinions on it, at least kon's attitude towards paul and not wanting to end up like a shitbag and have to be told by clark he's his own person still applies i guess T-T and the circumstances are more iffy and kon does keep it a secret for a while. it also complicates things by painting clark to be some absentee dad, which frankly is out of character for him i think. so idk kon keeping both his donors a secret could be interesting ? i have to think about it and how to resolve that narrative issue T-T. but also, i dont think the retcon is necessarily bad, just had a bunch of missed unique opportunities they could've used to make it stand out in a medium where this type of plotline already saturates its stories T-T (you could buy a sandwich if you had a nickel for every hero with half villain half hero genes)

so yeah basically im pretty sure readers at the time were hoping for a more father-son relationship while some were fine with just being brothers, and dc cant decide so i have decided that i will apply homestuck rules in which they are genetic father and son and may call each other brothers but in a way where kon looks up to clark so much he's basically a father to him. or like in ninjago where kai and lloyd clearly have a brotherly relationship but lloyd claims "kai was a father to me when i needed one."

because relationships aren't so cookie cutter you know? especially when it comes to family.

ANYWAYSSSSSSS

2) Fanon/My canon timeline

In my mind's eye, their relationship takes a longgg time to develop, and it has to overcome misunderstandings, but they are always amicable to each other. (Basically, not whatever the yj show did?) Clark doesn't automatically set himself to adopt or whatever, but he promises to look after him and has a more active role in helping kon find a place to stay, on kon's own insistence on being his own independent person. He heavily distrusts Cadmus though but dubbilex and guardian seem trustworthy enough. There is a part where he asks kon to keep an eye on cadmus' shady operations, and in my fanon I'd rather him just say that kon should go to him if anything bad every happens more out of concern for kon's safety than anything else? If that made sense.

Also, Clark is young and still rattling with the fact there's a mini-him running around the place that was meant to replace him so he's allowed to feel weird about it and not have all the answers. He does know that the right thing to do is make sure the kid's safe, but the kon's got a chip on his shoulder and doesn't make it easy. Kon is no one's sidekick--he is going to be superman one day, because it's what he's meant to do. He doesn't always know what's best for him, and always gets himself into trouble, and maybe he knows that, but I'd write it so that he slowly has to learn that it's okay to be a kid and to fuck up sometimes and listen to someone who knows better. Also, he talks big shit about being superman but also places expectations on himself because Clark's shadow is just so big that it makes it hard to connect with clark maybe? Like that's the guy you were made to be one day. And you know for a fact he didnt mess up as much as you did.

And when kal gives him the name kon-el and proclaims that he is family, kon is so happy he cries so you're left wondering why it took so long for them to get to that point. so i think in my timeline it'd happen a bit sooner? or like i would not make it take so long lol.

then you meet teen clark, and i think that's when things start to change. Of course this is the homestuck in me talking, but I think i'd have liked to see kon spend more time with teen clark, where some of that walls between them could have been broken down at now that kon's able to see what clark was like as a kid and bring him down to earth more rather than view him as this big lofty figure in his life. that's also partly what the yj sins of youth arc does too i guess. mmm gotta love the coming-of-age-ness of it all.

teen clark says that having kon around is kind of like having a brother, and kon nods but wonders if adult clark will think the same. after returning to his reality, kon goes to kal-el who reassures him he's family and trusts him and is sorry he doesn't make that more clear. he'd ask what kon wants but kon himself is still unsure. and after that convo, clark makes it a point to check up on him more and grows more concerned. he's gotten to know the kid a lot more!

and okay i could go on and on but basically, he voices his concerns about kon's living situations and surrounding peers a lot more and is careful not to command kon like a scolding parent, but nudge him with advice and let it be kon's decision on what to do. basically this is the stage where clark is acting more like a guardian figure i guess and after kon is finally convinced to go live in smallville with the kents, clark gets a lot more unbearable and acts like an annoying family member to kon and smothers him with sagely advice lol. and kon appreciates the gesture but he's having a hard time adjusting to it all, at having to live a normal life, and no matter what clark does there's still this shadow and expectation that falls on him. and not knowing what to do kon gives in, and tries to mimic clark cuz his previous efforts to be his own person all always landed him in hot shit.

(and if we are keeping the retcon, then finding out you arent who you thought you were would just add more to ur identity crisis T-T and if ur like me who likes to think of kon as queer then aaaah this new life would do a number on you and you might try to act soooo normal and scramble for a sense of control and understanding of your own life. and insisting on keeping it a secret bc ur afraid it'll change what people think of you? ough ik it wasnt meant to be read like that but my brain just went aaaaah. the queer experience. and with the whole luthor mind control thing? I hate 70% of it but i like thinking about it from an angle where kon realllly has to fight for an ounce of control over any aspect of his life idk idk T-T even without the retcon, i think you could still find a way to do something with this notion of identity and control)

anyways, i think time in smallville would slowly allow clark and kon to bond even more and really see each other for who they are as people and for kon to really find out who he is and who he wants to be, not as a sidekick to clark or as superman but as himself (and he'd slowly come back to a more punk and/or flamboyant fashion sense T-T). he's friends with the coolest teen heroes ever who are his family, and he's ma kent's boy. and he's clark's family. he tells his school friends that clark's his cousin and maybe thats what the documents say, and they may agree to call each other brothers, but bottomline is clark will be a father to kon whenever he needs one and will always be there to help kon and be a home to him.

then when clark is older and has jon, i guess maybe kon would still stick around and help out and definitely sees himself as jon's brother. like regardless of what clark and kon decide to call themselves kon is jon's brother like i really want them to be silly brothers. also cuz jon deserves one. there's so many interesting things dc could do with jon and kon aaaag so sad. it's also important to me that clark is a good parent and even if he wasnt perfect, he cared about kon and explicitly shows theyre family? like even in canon sometimes it didnt feel like it T-T

maybe it's just me, but i guess i project a lot of my own experiences and my oc rolin's experience onto him a lot. because rolin lives with his aunt who is basically a mother to him, and he has an older cousin who is basically a brother to him, and then this little girl that barges into his life basically becomes his sister and he can act like an overbearing parent to her even though they're not related by blood. he's got a weird relationship with his own dad, so he sees a father in a lot of older ppl. you can never have too many parental figures!!! so i guess my mind's used to thinking of family members doing double duty T-T ? i just personally really think dynamics shouldn't easily be pinned down as just one thing and think ppl are too stuck on traditional (or perhaps a nuclear or western) family standards. ugh when i write my oc story you will all see.

sorry that was really long and rambly and didn't make sense in some parts--i probably should have done this in google docs and made this fancy. also! who knows i might totally change my mind on a thing anyways. canon is my playdough i mold to whatever i think suits a more interesting narrative or to my personal bias.

#i think maybe this is also my filipino experience talking #also even if ur related by blood you choose to be family by choosing to treat them like one #and also you can have more than one parental figure bc why restrict yourself to two?#this probably makes NO sense to anyone sorrrry ill shut up now Bye.#but would i still read a fic or premise where kon acts like a rebellious teenage son ? maybe i would.#clam answers #this is just my personal canon definitely dont have to agree #i just would like the official comics to explore it more cuz theres a lot u could do! especially now that kon is actually back #and if anything i want kon and jon dynamic!!!!!!!!!#dc #kon el #kontent #i did this instead of my homework!!!!!!!!!!

Nightmare Time 2 Episode 4 Thoughts

So the rumors were true? Mac cameo!! It gives me hope that we'll see him again. Which I'm so glad because Nick made it seem like we would never see him again in the season 1 talkback

Yellow Jacket slaps new favorite Angela song

I'm coming up to Hatchetfield High just to fight Brad (and maybe say hi to the shop teacher and guidance counselor)

LAUREN AS HANNAH!!!! SHE DID SO GOOD!!!!

Also I think her playing Hannah was the best for this specific story. All of the other teens were played by people way older than Kendall and it might have been distracting. But I do still hope Kendall returns for future stories

STEPH!!! She stood up for Hannah and tried to help her. People shouldn't treat her like she's some delinquent child. She's a decent person who just takes part in irresponsible activities

Hi Tom HI I miss you love you bye

Woah we're getting a real look at what Hannah's visions are like. This poor girl imagine getting a random vision of someone dying in the middle of class and then just having to function normally the rest of the day

Hi Becky Hi I miss you love you bye

I feel sooo bad for Lex. She really is in such a tough spot. Girl take my money I don't have to pay rent yet

JOEY AS ETHAN!!!! HE DID SO GOOD!!!!

Also I find it kinda cool that they had an actual Italian play Ethan

Webster's back! The slumber party with multiple hers was so cute. More fun Webby please

Hannah's birthday is October 5th quick write that down WRITE THAT DOWN

Big Brother Ethan™️ is what I live for!!! This is the Ethan I like. Actually through this whole episode I really really liked him. I had only really cared for fanon Ethan before but now I want to hug this guy

Eddie is exactly what I thought he would be and I love him

Stopwatch/Daniel is a cutie and his power is so cool

During the fight did anyone else think that Hannah could hear Nick narrating for a second? I was about to scream

I am so so thankful for the direction they took Spitfire/Sofia. I really did not want one of the 2 black female characters we have so be this aggressive violent jerk. The wave of relief that came over me when she started being nice to Hannah

Hannah has more friends I am so happy for her

Ok yay Lex does get a moment of happiness in this episode. She really needed a break

AND SHE KNEW WEBBY WHAT

Soo Charles is scary. Dude for has a lord in black winning him money in fights. Pokey Otho isn't at his full power here but he's still very powerful. And Charlie is threatening HIS life

Nick did such a good job with Pokey especially his eyes. I do wish he spoke in uwu though

Guys Ethan is so soft this episode I can't handle it. Him trying to propose 🥺🥺

Unimportant but Corey is playing a lot of very enthusiastic audience members this season

I love the CaliforMIA trio so much. They will all do anything in their power to keep their family safe and happy. They just care about each other so much

I was absolutely loosing it whenever tgwdlm music started playing

When the Pokey dolls showed up my first thought was "Is this loser really stealing his brother's plan? Please that was so 2 years ago."

Lex is taking in all of this information very well

When it said she felt something with a trigger I thought Mac was giving her a gun 😭😭

That end was so melancholy. Glad no one I wanted to live died. Everyone is sad though so :(

Next Time is so pretty. Yesss my friends I will find in the next reset I promise

So I saw somewhere a post that talked about how some fictional characters just have a divorce vibe going on, like, at no point in time were they ever married but they just give off that feeling that they got divorced

And now I can only think of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor having that vibe

And I spent close to an hour talking about this to my sibling and how it would be a good idea for a new DC show like, you can make so much money off of just the main Batfam alone and there are literally so many people in there that it’s just an amazing idea to have them all in a show together but kind of like a Good Luck Charlie kinda thing because there’s more than enough angst in the world

But in the case of not having enough of a budget for so many characters in one show I turned to the Superfam (Batfam is Huge like, I don’t even know half of the extended family version and that’s like at least ten characters so I could see why it wouldn’t be entirely feasible to have a show that included everyone while still being good with nice character development without having a billion dollars for the budget)

The Superfam, in my personal experience, is composed of Ma & Pa Kent (farm vibes plus I refuse to have either of them die in my AU), Clark Kent (main Superman), Lois Lane (Lana? was Smallville Lois i guess??? But idk enough about her so she’s not here), Jon Kent (Superboi II), Kara Danvers (Supergirl) & Conner Kent (Superboi I)

Now I’ve stopped watching CW shows like, forever ago??? But my brother kinda keeps up with them and basically the gist is that the ratings of every other show suck Except for the Superman & Lois show (because it’s 💫new💫) and I saw the cover of the poster like “Ah, the werewolf dude. . . mmmhhmmm that’s Lois yes, yes that’s Johnny boi, and um is that???? Nooooo, they wouldn’t do that to Conner right???? Please tell me they didn’t make Conner blonde” and I was informed that the blonde teen is Chris???? Like

Whoms’t do ye speak of

I’m not even joking but the only way I even know of Chris is from a random fanfic I read where Dick Grayson gets his own super from an alternate reality named Chris, that’s my only point of reference for this character

But let’s talk about how Conner Kent (OG Superboi) was excluded

Now I haven’t seen any episodes of this and I probably never will (no hate I’m just really unmotivated to start new shows at all) so idk if they might mention Conner or even allude to him in one scene or something

But this was my main motivator as to my new Superfam TV Show Idea

Have Lex Luthor not be a Superman villain, he’s mainly a successful businessman, a little shady but who isn’t, and he doesn’t want to Kill Superman, he just wants to be able to have some sort of viable protection against a Kryptonian in case of an invasion (see Man of Steel + CW’s Supergirl) or suddenly having a mind controlled Superman on their hands (see Justice League series or just look up what Red Krytonite does) so he makes it like his side thing to figure out ways to neutralize or hold back a Kryptonian, Clark totally thinks that Lex is obsessed with finding a way to kill Superman because they had a bad end to their friendship in high school so he’s always suspicious of Lex, Lex hasn’t really ever tried to kill him though because 1. It’s not that deep Clark ok? And 2. He’s a busy busy man with a very important job position and a company to run so does he look like he has time to harbor an obsession over someone who rejected him back in high school??? You’re more of a constant side quest Clark, so stop trying to put him on the JL watchlist ( btw ik about Lena Luthor, haven’t forgotten her but she doesn’t really play a part in this AU so let’s just have her and Kara off to the side doing their own thing ok? Ok)

Lex, Bruce & Oliver all knew each other when they were kids and went to the same school, this is just an extra detail I wanted to happen because Lex and Ollie definitely know Bruce is Batman and absolutely HATE having to deal with Brucie Wayne because “I know you’re just doing this to irritate me Bruce, you just want to see if you can make a vein throb in my forehead but I will valiantly ignore your dumbassery because I know you hate being Brucie just as much as we hate having to put up with Brucie so suck on that you petty bitch” because they bonded in ye olden days, childhood friends so to speak

Anyway so Cadmus tries to get Lex to make an investment in their company, seeing as Cadmus is shadier than Gotham when it rains Lex is basically like ‘no ❤️’ and doesn’t make a deal with them, Cadmus gets mad at not having Lexcorp financially backing them so Lex has an ‘accident’ and they steal his DNA, then they steal Superman’s DNA somehow and *boom* a Superboi is formed

Because I don’t know much about how the Core Four became friends in the first place (Robin Tim Drake, Impulse Bart Allen, Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark & Superboy Conner Kent) I’m just gonna go with what happens in the show Young Justice except it’s the Core Four becoming the Core Four when they liberated Conner (who at this point believes himself to be a clone of Superman and has only been given Superboy as a name) from Cadmus, same shit goes down meaning that Clark is just straight up NOT vibing with Conner, Conner just wants a mentor please, and the Bats kinda give Clark a passive aggressive treatment for not taking Superboy under his wing or at least agreeing to teach him how to control his powers, especially Tim because that’s his Bestie so yes

Anyway, YJ saves ppl and is on the news or whatever and Lex finds out about Superboy’s existence that way, so he researches this new super on his free time, finds out that he came from Cadmus and claims to be a clone of Superman, yet doesn’t have the whole power set Superman has??? Wait, didn’t Lex reject Cadmus’ proposal and the got into a mysterious accident??? Long story short Lex goes connecting the dots, hacks into Cadmus’ files, finds out he technically has a son with Superman and decides to take Superboy under his wing (I’ll go more in depth as to why Lex would want to do this in this AU later but the abridged version would be that he wants a kid but doesn’t have the time nor interest in finding a wife??? Also the radiation that made him bald as a kid also affected his reproductive system so while it’s not impossible for him to conceive kids he would have a very hard time actually getting to father a kid)

Him and Conner, who still goes by Superboy at this point in time, meet up and Conner finds out that here is a parent figure that is both available and actively wants to be a part of his life, so he agrees to get to know Lex and the series would focus on them becoming a family, with a special episode when Conner asks Lex for help in choosing a name for himself and it ends up with him agreeing to become Conner Luthor, it would be heartwarming and Mercy would make sure it happens within a day (Mercy is Lex’s bodyguard/PA but they’re also besties and she becomes the Responsible yet Chaotic Aunt as Lex and Conner’s father-son relationship progresses)

Obviously Clark becomes super suspicious of Lex getting close to his ‘clone’ and when Conner decides to go public as Lex’s son he’s like *GASP* and calls up Bruce because we need to get on this Bruce, Lex is a villain and blah blah blah but Bruce would be over Clark’s shit and hit him with that “actually, Lex was also an unwilling genetic donor to Superboy, who actually is not your clone either, and has agreed to take him in, I’ve been on this shit since they first met and the kid is doing just fine so if you keep poking your nose in their business then that’s your problem but you better be ready to pay child support bitch . . . have a good day ❤️”

The series would just focus on Conner getting to have a good parent figure in Lex and go more into their civilian lives rather than focusing on the superhero thing, Conner, Bart, Tim & Cassie have a sleepover at Lex’s house at one point, Lex totally Knows what’s up but it’s all good because these are his baby’s friends and they’re good people who are more than willing to prank Superman for rejecting his kid and giving his baby self worth issues (Mercy supports them)

Anyway, that’s basically the idea for a new Superhero Show

#humor #superfamily #that’s new #focusing on Conner (the OG Superboy)#because they are always excluding him #so now Lex Luthor is a caring father to him #because yes #give this boy some love #conner kent #lex luthor #clark kent #bruce wayne #tim drake #superman #superboy #cassie sandsmark #bart allen #the Core Four is here too #Lex isn’t really a villain #he’s not evil either #finding ways to neutralize Superman is just like a side quest #because yes Superman is a paragon of good and Justice #but mind control exists #so pardon Lex for wanting to be able to protect himself from an out of control Superman #Clark totally thinks that Lex is obsessed with stopping him #because they had a bad friendship ending back in high school #but Lex isn’t aware of this ‘rivalry’ he’s supposed to be a part of #so it’s just Clark being suspicious of Lex and Lex not having a clue about this #or just not giving a shit because he’s a busy businessman trying to run a huge company #just a new idea for a new DC show focusing on the Supers
