You were too young - a little over three - to understand the day your mom brought home your little sister. You'd been secretly asking the universe for a sibling, someone to share everything with. Ask and you shall receive! But, you never knew just how much she would shape your life into what it is today.

The Kingdom - Elementary School

Fourth grade is when you and Katsuki started to play after school together on a daily basis. Him and Izuku would come by and grab snacks from your mom while you went back to the park around the corner, playing pirates and super heroes with the other neighborhood kids. Every so often, your mom would ask for you to bring your sister along. You never minded, even though she was your baby sister in first grade. The boys would pick on her - lovingly, of course - to make her feel included with the rest of the pack. She loved being around you, cooing and giggling away as she'd hold your hand and squeal with delight.

One day at the park, she'd declared herself to be queen of the castle as she stood on the slide, proudly puffing out her chest with her hands on her hips.

"I am the queen, and what I say goes!" she pointed to you and Katsuki. "Sissy will be the princess and you will be our royal guard, Katsu!"

You chuckle. "Isn't the older sister supposed to be queen?"

She does her best impression of a royal laugh, projecting her voice theatrically. "Not in my land! It's my kingdom and if you don't like it, I'll send you to the brig!"

"You're confusin' pirates 'n princesses again,” Katsuki taunts playfully.

She stomps her foot on the slide. “Silence in my kingdom! Izu will be my knight!”

Katsuki pouts. “Hey! Why don’t I get to be the knight?!’

“Cause I say so! You’re the royal guard cause you’re tough. Izu is the knight because he’s brave!”

You can’t help but let out a loud ‘hah!’ at her comment. Your sister never failed to push Katsuki in the cutest ways - he probably was thankful to be an only child whenever you guys would go home for the day.

Katsuki huffs at her declaration, taking the challenge with stride. “Fine! I’ll show you who’s tough and be the best dang guard in the whole world.”

“Do I get a cool set of armor, queen?” Izuku asks, bouncing up and down at the bottom of the slide.

“Of course! Only the best armor and ponies for my royal kingdom.”

She sits and pushes herself down the metal slide, rocketing off the edge past Izuku and barreling toward Katsuki. She trucks into him at full force - but, being small, that force isn’t much for him to withstand.

“What the heck was that for?!” he yells while catching her before she hits the wood chips.

“A test of your toughness, Katsu! And you passed! You’re deserving of a spot in my kingdom,” she giggles, mashing his cheeks together with her tiny palms. He protests her closeness and tries to fight her off, setting her feet back on the ground while she’s wiggling in his hold. Watching the two of them act like siblings themselves always made you feel so warm and fuzzy inside, knowing your two closest friends also adored your sister as much as you did.

You meander over to grab her from him. “Alright, I think you made your point, queen. Your guard and knight have other duties to get to.”

She waves goodbye to the boys over her shoulder as the two of you stroll home for dinner. She gleefully remarks how cool they are and that she can’t wait to marry them someday.

You can’t help but giggle at the thought. “Both of them? Wow, all to yourself, huh?”

She pouts and whips her head upward. “No, sissy! We both get one!”

”Oh yeah? Because you’re the queen of the kingdom, you get to pick?”

“That’s right! They’ll have to fight to see who gets to pick you!”

You roll your eyes, shaking your head at the thought. You’re only ten years old, the thought of boys fighting over you was hilarious.

”Promise not to tell Izu, but I think Katsu would win that fight,” she whispers, tugging on your hand to get you to lean over closer to her face. “He’s taller and faster!”

The thought of marrying Katsuki flashes in your mind - you have zero clue what that even looks like, but you imagine him bringing you flowers on the playground or giving you a bite of his ice cream. A blush creeps over your cheeks and nose at the thought. Your sister catches your reaction and gasps dramatically.

“You like Katsu?!” she exclaims.

You shush her. “No! Don’t go yelling that!”

That’s a big fat lie. You liked him a lot, he was your favorite person, but you’re kids.

It’s just a harmless crush.

───

An Enchanted Afternoon - Elementary School

A week later, the four of you returned to the playground after school. Snacks from your pantry in hand, the bunch of you sit on the swing set to eat. Your sister seemed extremely eager today, more so than usual. Once you all finished eating, she demanded your attention.

"Gather 'round! Your queen summons you," she declares, arms raised above her head. You and the boys huddle around her.

"Katsu, go fetch flowers!" she orders as she points to a nearby patch of grass. "Zuzu, clear out the sandbox of any villagers."

There wasn't anyone else here today, so that job was easily done. Izuku doesn't say anything and smiles as he heads over to the sandbox as ordered. Katsuki is confused, nose scrunched and arms crossed.

"Why do I need to get flowers?" he asks, tapping his foot in the wood chips.

"Do you dare defy your queen?!" she shouts, grinning wickedly. He obliges, sauntering over to the grass to find a few spare daisies.

"What's all this for?" you ask, genuinely curious to her plans. She doesn’t answer you as she grabs you by the wrist, dragging you over to the sandbox.

A few minutes later, Katsuki comes back with a handful of daisies, picked and pruned clean of any dirt and weeds. Izuku stands on the edge of the sandbox patiently.

”Perfect! Katsu, Sissy, please approach your queen.”

You play along and stand in front of her with Katsuki. It’s amusing how small she is in comparison to the two of you, easily shadowing over her figure.

“With my knight as witness, I give the blessing to the princess and royal guard to be married forever!” she exclaims, waving her hands around to mimic casting a magic spell.

You're pretty sure she got that line from a princess movie, but that doesn't make the sentiment any less adorable. You begin to chuckle to yourself, smiling ear to ear before turning toward Katsuki. You're expecting him to be disgusted, repulsed by something so sickly sweet, but are shocked to see him standing with the flowers outstretched in your direction. He's biting his bottom lip and avoiding eye contact by staring directly at your feet.

"H-here," he whispers meekly, pushing the flowers into your hands. You've never seen him so shy before - that's usually Izuku's demeanor. His unexpected affection makes your little heart flutter in your chest.

"Thank you 'Suki," is all you can muster up the courage to say, your mind running blank on the right thing to say. It's just an imaginary scenario...It's not real, not like you're actually marrying him. Katsuki exhales, turning his back to you to hide his strawberry colored cheeks.

"Now you're together forever!" you sister raves, dancing on her tip toes with satisfaction.

Maybe that was the moment she bound you two together with some unknown magical force, or it was a mere coincidence. The sappy part of your young brain believed in fairytales and chose to believe she was weaving your golden string to him, binding you two for life.

Leftovers - Middle School

”Yo, brats! Come eat already so I can get the hell outta here,” Katsuki called from your doorway. He’d come by with leftovers from his mom for you and your sister, since your own mom was working later that day. The two of you were still…friends? You weren’t sure. Being in seventh grade and all, he started acting like you weren’t cool enough for him. He did the same to Izuku, starting to ditch the two of you for other kids in class to hang out with at lunch or walk home with. Did it hurt your feelings? Absolutely. But you didn’t own him, he was allowed to have other friends, even if it did suck to see him less outside of class.

“Coming!” you called back, skipping down the hallway with your sister in tow. She happily ran into the entryway, hugging Katsuki by the waist. She was taller now, but still much smaller than him as a fourth grader.

“Hiya Katsu!” she gleamed up at him, rubbing her face against his uniform jacket.

He grunted, uncomfortable with her sudden affection and poking her in the forehead to release her grip. “Let go, squirt!”

He turned his attention to you as your sister finally let go of him. “Here, take these. I gotta get to practice.”

”Thank you! Tell your mom we said hi.”

“Yeah, whatever.”

You hand the containers to your sister as she wanders off to the table. Before Katsuki opens the door, you tap him on the shoulder.

“Hey, are you alright?”

He scoffs at your question. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

“You just seem distant lately. Wanna come by sometime for a movie marathon?” you ask, tilting your head and giving him a warm smile.

“We’re not kids anymore. Got better stuff to do.”

Ouch, that stung. Your smile fades away as you reply. “Well…I know. I just miss hanging out with you.”

“You have Deku an’ that other group of bitches you hang out with, ya don’t need me.” His harsh comment has notes of jealousy intertwined in his words. He goes to put his hand on the door again before you take a step forward to stop him.

“Kat, they’re not a replacement for you. You’ve got your own friends now, too since you’re on the soccer team. You’re saying we can’t hang out 'cause we have different friends?”

He glares at you before pushing past you and pulling on the front door.

“Hey!” your sister shouts from the dining area. “Katsu, that’s not nice. My royal guard doesn't act like that!” She’s always thought of Katsuki as a guard since your elementary school playground days.

“Cut the shit! We’re not kids anymore!” Katsuki rebuttals with a growl of frustration.

He makes eye contact with you. “We’ve grown apart, end of fuckin’ story. Get over it.”

He slams your front door closed and leaves you standing in the entryway, your eyes stinging from the urge to cry. You feel a small gust of wind rush by as your sister is sprinting to the door, throwing it open and running outside without shoes on.

“Hey!” She calls after Katsuki. “Get your butt back here, Katsu!”

He turns on his heel. “Hah?!”

She stomps on the ground, fists balled at her sides. “Apologize to her!”

Katsuki cackles, a little too manically. “For what, brat?”

“You’re being a mean jerk to her! She doesn’t deserve to be yelled at like that. Friends are friends forever, idiot!” she yells, her cheeks puffed and eyebrows scrunched together.

You can’t help but stifle a laugh at her calling Katsuki an idiot and turn your head to hide your amusement.

”That’s not who you are, Katsu. That’s not how you treat your princess!”

He pinches the bridge of his nose and screws his eyes shut in annoyance, exhaling dramatically. He locks his gaze on you, storming back up to the doorway. He roughly ruffles your sister’s hair as he passes by her as a pseudo apology. Katsuki sucks the air through his teeth and shoves his fists in his pockets as he stops in front of you.

“Look, ‘m sorry for yellin’, okay?” he sighs, kicking a foot against the pavement. “I'll come over Saturday, we’ll have that movie day ya wanted.”

"You don't need to if you feel forced to hang out with me." Your eyes shift to your feet to avoid looking at his reaction.

" 's fine. I'll be here at noon, don't pick anything lame."

With that, he turns to leave for a second time in silence. You watch him disappear around the corner and can't help but feel like a burden for asking him to make time for you. As if reading your mind, your sister shakes you out of the negative train of thought while walking back to the house.

“Don’t worry about him, he’s just being a dumb boy. That’s what my teacher says when boys are mean for no reason.” She grins a toothy smile up at you and grabs your hand. “Come on! Foods getting cold!”

Katsuki rounded the corner and waited to be out of sight before palming his face in anger. He had no idea why he said those things to you. None of it was true, especially that you’d grown apart. If anything, he was jealous of your friends and missed seeing you all the time. But he couldn’t bring himself to say so, like always. Ever since middle school started, he’d harbored some unknown rage inside of him that lashed out every chance it could. He hated it and didn’t know what to do to stop it - hence trying out for the soccer team, looking for an outlet for the pent up emotions in his body.

Katsuki secretly hoped you wouldn’t end up despising him for it. Even after all this time, he still thinks of you whenever he sees a patch of daisies.

Maybe one day he’d be brave enough to tell you about it.

───

Running Late - High School

The front door to your home opens as Katsuki slips inside, kicking his loafers off by the door. Your younger sister peaks over the kitchen counter while spreading jam over her toast and nods in his direction.

"Hey Katsu, pretty sure she's still asleep upstairs," she calls, rolling her eyes. "I tried to get her up three times, maybe you'll have better luck."

It was hard to believe that she was already in her freshmen year of high school - shit, it’s crazy that you and Katsuki were seniors. The age of playground days and summer adventures went by in the blink of an eye.

He makes his way to the kitchen island, leaning over to ruffle your sister’s hair - some things never change.

"Thanks, bean. I'll get her ass movin’."

“Stooop! You’ll mess up my hair!” She whines as she pulls away, fixing a few stray pieces of her fluffy mane.

“Ya look fine, don’t sweat it,” he compliments while heading for the staircase. He makes his way to your bedroom on the second floor. The door is surprisingly cracked open - he taps on the doorframe to grab your attention.

“Come in,” you call, lying on your bed facing the wall above the covers while scrolling on your phone. You presume it’s your sister until a soft kiss is planted on your cheek.

“Mornin’ sweets,” Katsuki whispers, rubbing your shoulder to turn you to face him. He sits on the edge of your bed beside you. “You wanna be late for our last first day of high school?”

You shift to sit up and drop your phone to your bed, reaching to cradle his face in your hands.

“No, I just wanted to steal a few kisses first,” you mumble as your lips quietly meet his. Katsuki places one hand on your cheek while the other lightly grazes your back. After a few moments, the two of you part with a soft smack. You stand and straighten up your uniform skirt, flattening a few of the panels to work out any stray creases.

“Do I look okay?” You ask, spinning around for Katsuki and showing off your uniform. Your hair was pulled into a pretty ponytail with a few pieces framing your face. The only make up you had on was some lip gloss - you valued sleeping in over doing a minimalist makeup look today.

“Y’always look good,” he sighs, standing to his feet. “Let’s get movin’ before bean suspects somethin’.”

You hadn’t told your sister about your relationship with Katsuki. Sure, you guys had been friends since you were children and he’s always around…how would she know the difference?

The two of you patter down the hallway and skip down the stairs to the kitchen. Your sister is waiting for the two of you, arms crossed and tapping one foot impatiently.

“Finally! Get your damn shoes on,” she orders while pushing you toward the door. She does a double take at Katsuki while you’re putting on your shoes, raising an eyebrow at him.

“Katsu…are you wearing lipgloss?”

Oops.

Katsuki’s searching for something to say as his face glows scarlet. He puts a hand on the back of his neck and turns away, grumbling while attempting to hide his embarrassment.

“Oh come on, you two. I knew you guys started dating months ago. You think I didn’t notice?”

You spin around to face her, cheeks puffed and eyebrows scrunched. “You never said anything?!”

She laughs, walking up to Katsuki and placing a hand on his shoulder.

“If you ever hurt her, Katsuki, I’ll knock your lights out. I know where you sleep,” she threatens, grinning mischievously. Katsuki pulls her into a headlock, ruffling her hair a second time.

“Deal, but I plan on stayin’ alive.” He lets her go, chuckling as he smooths out the pieces of hair he messed with.

Seeing the two of them get along never fails to make your heart swell with joy. Katsuki has always treated her like his own sister - one that he could easily give back at the end of every day, anyways.

She turns with a huff with her hands in the air.

“You both have my blessing, you should know that. I didn’t marry you two in a sandbox for nothing!”

───

Today Was A Fairytale - Current Day

“It’s an honor to be doing this for a second time. You’re in luck, my vocabulary has grown exponentially since our sandbox days.”

There’s a wave of laughter through the crowd at your sister’s lighthearted joke. You can’t help but smile as Katsuki’s fingers dance across the back of your hand to regather your attention.

God, he looks so damn handsome in that tux. His usual wild hair is slicked back and tamed - an extremely rare sight. Carmine eyes stare back at you, full of devotion and excitement for this next chapter in your fairytale.

“By the power vested in me, and these people as my witness, I pronounce you two as king and queen of the kingdom!”

Friends and family alike cheer and whistle as you and Katsuki intertwine, kissing each other for the first time as husband and wife. He spins you around and dips you low, kissing the tip of your nose playfully.

“I love you,” he mouths, a silent profession of adoration - reserved just for you.

The two of you strut down the aisle to the dance floor in the reception hall, the DJ already queuing the first dance song. Katsuki gently tugs you by the waist, pulling you closer to him as he begins to sway side to side when the music begins to fill the room. You rest your head against his chest and get lost in the moment.

Right now, the world belongs to the two of you. Every worry, struggle, and hardship is stripped away from your lives to give you the peace you deserve.

There’s one thought that lingers in your mind as you catch a glimpse of your teary-eyed sister watching you from the corner of the dance floor, latched onto Izuku’s arm for support.

She tied that golden string with an unbreakable knot.

hcs for

percy jackson hcs for hogwarts color houses? (if you wanted to - maybe for reader too?)

(this has been marinating in my drafts for MONTHS)

PERCY JACKSON !

- im a firm believer in percy being harry in another universe

- if harry wasnt a BBBBBITCH

- gryffindor prefect whether you like it or not. (turned head boy, lily and james situation over here.)

- 1/3 star trio (somehow percy’s in it)

- would and could beat the shit out of harry potter

- IS DEFINITELY A QUIDDITCH PLAYER

- probably a seeker or a chaser but im getting off topic

- hes a prefect that all the first years look up to yk

- like those cool older students that you want to be when your fresh in high school.

- “percy is so cool!“ “i wanna be a prefect like percy!”

- loves the attention ngl

- sneaks around to ravenclaw table to sit with annabeth (or you) and then when he gets caught he goes “i was just asking her something!” when he knows damn well he was flirting with her.

- you can tell by the shit-eating grin on his face. ^

- definitely is in a organised wand fighting club

- most likely is a pain in the ass for the teachers but he gets good grades (thanks to his girlfriend) and he probably has saved the school from some sort of magical monster once or twice

- secretly avada kadavra’d a fly once (felt bad afterwards and held a funeral for the fly)

ANNABETH CHASE !

- ravenclaw head girl.

- 2/3 of the star trio

- everyone loves annabeth, shes like the star student.

- “ask annabeth she knows.” “annabeth can you help me with this question?”

- gods shes smart but shes more than that.

- she likes to hide away in one of the towers and she makes castles ans structures out of toothpicks she steals from the tables at breakfast, lunch and dinners.

- also a student alot of the first years look up to.

- but mainly the girls like annabeth.

- the ones who felt they weren’t ever going to be smart enough or were never going to amount to enough.

- annabeth would smile sweetly at them and remind them to believe in themselves.

- is the only person percy really listens to.

- percy could be messing around and not listening in a class and the moment annabeth even mutters a word starting with p hes sat on a chair, hands in his lap, posture straight and mouth SHUT.

GROVER UNDERWOOD !

- now i don’t want to stereotype… im not that type of girl.

- hufflepuff prefect

- AND BEFORE ALL OF YOU COME ALONG AND START WHINIGN AND CRYING “I HATE HUFFLEPUFF” BLAHS BALAHA BALAHA SHUT UP.

- he loves his house and takes so much pride in it

- i don’t think he’d like playing quidditch but he would be in the front row seats cheering on hufflepuff

- and if his house wasn’t playing he’s there cheering for percy

- 3/3 of the star trio.

- grover “my bf” underwood is a hufflepuff.

- alot of the younger kids look out for grover in a crowd

- especially the misbehaving gryffindor kids that are running away from clarrise

- if they can’t find percy they cower behind grover

- and grover being the big hearted boy he is he stands guard of the kids despite shitting his pants himself

- he loves his house.

- he loves care of magical beasts class

- all the new hufflepuff kids IN GENERAL always go to him for directions which makes him 1 too many times late to class. but im like so sure the teachers know and love him so they let him off with just a soft warning.

- “i’m so sorry professor! i was helping a first-“ “just sit down underwood.”

- to all those fans that watched fantastic beasts, grover is 100% using a tower like newt did with new beasts he finds.

- has probably accidentally wandered into the forbidden forest with annabeth and percy by chance. (he wanted to find a unicorn)

- some random slytherin kid picked on a hufflepuff first year and grover ripped the kid a new one. hes loyal to his house 💔

- he had to get a new wand once or twice because he used to chew on it in exams (when he got especially anxious)

CLARRISE LA RUE !

- despite her being sometimes rude

- i do think she’d also be in gryffindor 😭

- kinda like an arrogant, “im better than you” gryffindor

- like how she is in the show and most of the books towards percy

- but underneath her hard exterior shes soft towards the ones she loves and is close to

- also a quidditch GOD

- the most exhilirating beater to watch in quidditch.

- alot of first year girls also admire clarrise

- more so the ones that want to be strong and join quidditch.

- EXTREMELY PROUD TO BE A GRYFFINDOR

- she REPS THAT SHIT HARD

- “i think slytherin is co-“ “GRYFFINDOR IS THE BEST HOUSE SHUT UP”

- extremely prideful of her colours and her house

- a little bit too much sometimes

- when someone loses house points you better pack it up and run because miss girl is hunting for you (looking at you percy)

LUKE CASTELLAN !

- erm

- slytherin head boy

- “luke is so cool!” “and hes hot..” “but percy’s better!”

- theres luke people and then theres percy people

- luke is alot more cunning in the sense that he openly does things to capture more hearts and beat percy in this ongoing war (he will be the hottest prefect.)

- probably descended from a line of gryffindors but then he popped out

- seeker in qudditch but also is a good chaser due to his build

- THE slytherin boy.

- he is so unbelievably good at quidditch and leads slytherin to most of their wins.

- another star student here

- “why can’t you be more like luke?”

- maybe has possibly been an inside spy for he who can not be named. (voldymort)

- definetly in that chamber of secrets fucking shit up

- such a helpful head boy.

- like he loves his house and will die in green

- this guy probably has every single passage in hogwarts mapped out perfectly like dimensions and all.

- may or may not be plotting something in the forbidden forest.

Hi Sera! I’ve been wanting to ask for recs for a while but every time I think of something you’ve already posted it, but I am a bit obsessed with this right now so I thought I’d ask anyways(you are a gem and do so much for the bucky girls on this hellsite and I love you for it!)

The Number One Rule by @justkending

Y/N has always been seen as “Steve’s rambunctious sister.” However, she grew up, graduated, and moved to London to study abroad for 4 years and get her bachelor's degree. The girl that returns looks nothing like the teenager that left. But don’t worry, the attitude is still there and stronger than ever. What’s to come of the two grown adults that used to push each other's buttons, but now have a lot more in common than they’ve ever realized?

Miss America and the Heartbreak Prince by @fangirlovestuff

Your brother’s best friend, Bucky Barnes was a serious pain in your ass. Shame, since he used to be so nice when you were younger. Too bad he’s changed now in high school. Or has he? All it takes is some detective work, milkshakes and pranks for you to finally figure it out.

The Bookkeeper and The Cowboy || Pt 1

WC: 1.6k

Summary: A new bookstore is making its way into Wabang and has everyone gossiping. Some are excited, the kids are happy, some are grumpy and Rhett, well he’s just a little bit curious.

A/N: This was originally going to be one part. I have no self control, though, so it’ll probably 2 or 3

Wabang, Wyoming is a small town with people who knew each other, and parents and grandparents who likely knew each other. If you lived there you likely never thought of leaving. If you grew up in the dusty old town it likely never occurred to you to leave.

Everyone knew each other, every building was known and every person who ran it was known by name. Everyone knew that Maren at ‘Maren’s Marvelous Hair Salon’ was a gossip and that Joe who worked at the butcher's was vulgar but still kind and would likely give you an extra slice of your favorite place of meat. Everyone knew the teachers. Ms. Kay, who was secretly seeing Luke Tillerson, and was teaching second grade. Everyone adored her. She was kind, sweet, and gentle with her students. She waved and smiled at the parents of her students. Unlike the high school teacher Mr. Daughtery. The older man never smiled and was always found with a cup of coffee in his hand. When someone addressed him he only grunted and turned away. Some wondered why he hadn’t retired yet or found another job but most of the time, people just ignored him.

It was no wonder that Rhett Abbott didn’t notice that new building being put up right away. No one had bothered to mention it to him. His dad was working him to the bone and when Maren caught him running errands for his dad for the ranch she never mentioned it.

Rhett only became aware of the new building when he went into the tractor supply store to pick up feed for the animals on the ranch. Old man Waters (no one knew his first name anymore, he could have been the first one in the town for all anyone knows) mentioned a new bookstore that was in the works down the street. He didn’t say it in a grumble or in a way he detested a new business. No, he seemed rather…happy about it? Supposedly his granddaughter loved spending time over there after school even though it wasn’t completely finished. Every time he saw her she chatted nonstop about the new owner and the books and even how the building was coming along.

Rhett nodded and tipped his hat, making sure to say thank you because if there was one thing Cecilia Abbott did right it was to raise her sons with manners. After he stocked the bed of his truck full of feed for the animals and some other things for the ranch, Rhett sat in the truck for a minute longer than usual. He could see the budding store from here and he couldn’t deny that the curiosity got the better of him.

If he took a bit longer to get home than usual it definitely wasn’t to see the new bookstore. It was cream and green and on a hanging green wooden poster it read ‘Cover to Cover’. It was clever and left a small smile on his face for no one to see but himself.

When Rhett finally arrived home it was dark and his mom was just about to finish cooking dinner. Mashed potatoes and pork chops it looked like again. He knew better than to complain, it was Perry and his dad’s favorite meal.

As the plates were being served Rhett reached over to playfully mess with Amy’s hair which made the young girl giggle and her father grumble which only added to the satisfaction Rhett felt. He and Perry could argue from sun up to sun down, never agreeing on anything. Mostly on Rhett’s life choices but he couldn’t deny that Perry did one thing right at that was to make Amy. He adored his niece, her laugh, her adventurous spirit, and her no-nonsense attitude that developed before she could talk.

“Did you pick up the feed for the horse?” His dad grumbled in a question.

Rhett knew not to take it personally. It was just how his dad spoke. He was all hard edges and no soft-spoken words. Those were saved for his wife his his granddaughter. Sometimes, when he was younger, Rhett, wondered if Royal even saw him and Perry as sons and just as extra hands to help around the ranch.

“Yeah,” he said, just as gruffly after swallowing a dry pork chop. “It’s all in the bed of my truck.”

“It took you so long. Thought you might be visiting one of your little bunnies.” Perry smirked and Rhett bit his tongue.

“I was catching with Old Man Waters, while I was there,” Rhett said, despite not owing his brother a reply. His mom was still at the table and didn’t want the conversation to turn into something inappropriate.

“I wanna see a bunny,” Amy said innocently.

Rhett looked at Perry and raised an eyebrow. Once he saw his brother's cheeks turn pink he knew he won.

“It’s not those kind of bunnies, darling.” His mom said and pointedly looked at Rhett for the next bit, “I wouldn’t want you catching anything from those bunnies. Who knows where they’ve been.”

Clear to change the subject Royal jumped in, “What did you and Old Man Waters talk about?”

“Not much,” Rhett tried for nonchalance. He didn’t want his dad to see how much this particular subject interested him. “He said that someone is building a bookstore, it’s not fully done, but he said that his granddaughter loves it already.”

Royal hurmphed at the idea. He stabbed his food before saying in a grumpier tone than usual. “What happened to kids reading at school or their parents reading to them? If you ask me it sounds like some yuppie bullshit.”

“I think it’s nice that there’s a place for people to get books and hang out when they're not working.” His mom said placatingly.

“That’s until more people move to Wabang and new houses and apartments are built and we’ll even have a Starbucks.”

“I only said Old Man Waters said it, doesn’t mean it’s true. It could go under in a month.”

Nothing else was said for the rest of the meal. Everyone could tell that the tonal shift had changed and even young Amy didn’t look up from her plate.

When all the plates were in the sink Rhett offered to help his mom clean them. As if his dad and brother ever would, Cecelia shooed Jim off knowing that he would have to be awake before the sun came up to help his dad with the ranch.

He kissed his mom good night, skipped his after-dinner beer, and took the stairs two at a time. It was quiet except for the quiet noises coming from the bedrooms. His dad was talking nonsense, nothing unusual there, Perry was already snoring. From what? Rhett had no idea he wasn’t the one running around town and as far as he knew their dad had been taking it easy on Perry when it came to the Ranch.

When he passed by Amy’s room it was dead silent. Amy was never silent. Before he could think about it he gently tapped on her bedroom door and moments later Amy stood looking up at him.

“Hi. Uncle Rhett,” she smiled.

The end of his lip quirked and he asked. “How did you know it wasn't your dad or grandpa?”

She rolled her eyes and he realized fast then he liked that Mentions that Amy might like that his sweet little niece Amy was growing up.

“Grandpa pounds on the door like I can’t hear him. Dad just barges in. You and Grandma are the only ones who knock like normal people.”

Rhett nodded at that. It seemed about right the two of them had been doing it his whole life. Maybe for her birthday he’ll get her a lock and install it for her.

“You were quiet at dinner. I wanted to know what was up.”

The girl was quiet for a moment. Long enough for Rhett to start to worry. Amy was never quiet for too long around her uncle.

“I wanna see the bookstore.” She mumbles, nearly whispers. As though she’s afraid Royal will hear her from down the hall.

Rhett made an inquisitive noise, leaned on the doorframe, and crossed his arms. He waited for Amy to continue and after a moment she did.

“A few of my friends have been over to see it and all of grandma and grandpa’s books are boring. The school library’s books are falling apart.” She said this all in one gust of air. “I want to see what it’s all about but Grandpa knows everyone in town and they’ll tell him.”

“Your grandpa doesn’t know everything,” Rhett said with a smirk, thinking back to his childhood and teenage days when he managed to get with a lot more than his parents realized.

At her still-present frown that tugged on his heartstrings, Rhett said without thinking, “I’ll take you there. I drove past it on the way back home and maybe I could pick you up after school and bring you to the s bookstore.”

“Really?” Amy exclaimed and shy he’d herself so as not to wake anyone. She looked around to check that no one else moved around and then looked up at her uncle. “You would do that?

“If you get some sleep tonight and are good in school tomorrow, I’ll be right outside waiting for you.” He swore.

Of course, he wanted Amy to be happy and his father's disdain for any new business from outsiders was irksome. However, when he drove by the cream and green cozy-looking shop he couldn’t help but feel his curiosity peek. His niece wasn’t the only one who wanted to go, he wanted to go into the bookstore too.

Henry on Valentine's day!

She was his classmate from kindergarten. At first Henry is all shy and secretive that he has a crush on a girl from his class. He secretly collects and makes stuff for her for Valentine's day.

Henry becomes invisible when he is all nervous. When Bucky caught him doing something, Henry immediately goes shy and invisible.

Then he tells his daddy about her. Bucky advises him what to do and Sugar is so happy and proud of her little baby making progress.

Henry let Lottie add her final touch of glitter to the card! Because of course Lottie is the best artist duh🤷‍♀️

Listen…. Listen!!! Omg how fucking cute is that!!!

Henry’s first crush

I think this moment would be so much more impactful to Henry because he’s already 8 years old and he’s done things that no child should ever do and most adult wouldn’t either. So he’d be in 3rd grade (technically) when he has his first crush. And all of this is so new to him so it can be a little bit overwhelming.

Our sweet boy doesn’t know how to go about it. Would he get in trouble for liking a girl? Henry’s not sure so he keeps quiet. Until Bucky notices that something’s going on and sits Henry down.

Initially he thinks that maybe someone is bullying Henry at school but when he finally gets the truth out Bucky can’t help but be proud.

I mean, Barnes men were ladies men, you know. 😉

It did take Bucky a while to get Henry to open up because the minute he walked if something was wrong Henry went completely invisible. But Henry told him everything and even showed him the Valentine’s Day card he was working on.

“Why a card?”

“You give mama stuff all the time and she loves it. I thought maybe Lily would like a gift too.” Henry says shyly.

“Lily huh? I think she’ll love it. Maybe we can go buy her some flowers too. What do you say?”

Henry smiles timidly but nods. Bucky ruffles his hair and tells him to keep working on his card. Then he immediately goes to tell sugar who in turn starts crying happy tears. Her baby has a crush? Who would have known it would be so soon.

~~~~~~~~~

Before Valentine’s Day the Barnes family heads to the store where Henry guides Lottie to the toy aisle and lets her pick the stuffie she thinks his friend Lily would like the most.

“This one bubba.” She picks up a multicolored unicorn.

“Really?”

“Yeah, I see it. She lobes it.” Lottie nods.

“Thanks baby.”

“You welcome.” They hold hands all the way out of the store. Then they go to the flower shop and pick up a small but cute bouquet and a ballon that says happy Valentine’s Day.

****

Sugar had coordinated with Lily’s mom so that the kids could exchange gifts because apparently Lily couldn’t stop talking about Henry either. The day of thought Henry stood in his suit, going from visible to translucent and completely invisible.

“Take a deep breath baby. You’ll be fine.” Sugar says.

Now imagine Lily’s dad opening the door only knowing that one of Lily’s classmates is coming by not not expecting two avengers to be standing at his door.

Anyways the kids exchange gifts. The moms are recording and trying not to cry. The dada are standing there awkwardly. Henry and Lily have a great time. Henry tells Lily all about how his baby sister helped him with everything.

It’s very sweet and Henry starts to open up more and more as the school year goes by.

This is definitely one of the things that help him open up the most though!

Ah, the Toritsuka chapter. I actually kind of love his introduction. If only he hadn’t been such a slimeball. But then again, that would undermine the entire purpose of his character.

XD Master Saiki.

This once again reminds me of Mob Psycho. I can’t help but wonder if the two series influenced each other, both being highly successful comedies about vastly overpowered psychic teenagers and their journey to self discovery. I do wonder sometimes why Mob Psycho was so much more successful than Saiki k, at least here in the States. Maybe they *are* equally popular in Japan, but that’s not the case if the internet fandom is anything to judge by (Mob Psycho is much, much more popular. There’s so much more fanart, if you search for it using the Japanese words and fan slang.)

I do enjoy both Aiura and Toritsuka using their powers, each of them ostensibly unimpressive compared to his but both about the only major supernatural abilities he lacks, to find out about him. Lovely situational irony.

Ghosts gather to see Psy users… has anyone ever discussed that this might be the cause of Saiki’s bad luck? But ghosts are by nature well-intentioned according to Toritsuka, so you would think he would have much better than average luck… hmm

Or maybe evil spirits are a thing, and not discussed in the manga for one reason or another. Maybe because they are not human ghosts but Yokai, another kind of spirit.

I do love that Toritsuka comes into the whole thing knowing exactly how many powers saiki has and just how powerful he is, but Toritsuka isn’t put off by it in the least (rather the opposite.) It obviously throws Saiki off. He even seems intrigued… at first. Until Toritsuka reveals his motivations unhesitatingly. He may know everything about Saiki’s powers, but obviously knows nothing of his personality.

From the events of PSIowdown later on in the comic regarding demonic possession and literally stealing people’s bodies, I like the implication that Toritsuka could probably learn other powers… if he was even remotely motivated to do so. So he probably could banish ghosts, if only he’d stop thinking about tits for half a second. I mean, he did learn possession channeling in the first place, for the sole purpose of picking up girls.

this brings up the question, does Toritsuka have relatives? where are they? We never see them. I mean, everyone has relatives, but where are Toritsuka’s real parents? What about his grandparents?

still a really funny panel. Yes half of Toritsuka perv jokes aren’t funny, but this one is perfect.

one thing that I do like about Saiki k is it makes an effort to demonstrate that looks can be deceiving. You have a character like Toritsuka who has pure, clear eyes and good looks (headband aside) who by all social indicators should be a paragon of society, who turns out to be a total creep within 5 minutes of meeting him, and then you have people like what’s the teachers name Iguchi sensei who turns out to be a really good person, even though he looks like a pervert. I think you see this a little with all of the characters, Saiki included. His words never quite match his actions; he looks like a surly average kid but he’s secretly extraordinary and of course very kind.

And Aiura, someone with seemingly low regard for social rules, who by all rights should have a reputation as the school slut, and a failure for her grades, is one of the strongest characters and has a lot of integrity. People respect her for her powers and her self confidence. She’s not who she appears to be either. Even someone like Kurumi turns “monstrous” when her ire is provoked. It gives these characters a layer of complexity that so many gag characters just don’t have, and that’s what sets it apart.

I do wonder if what Saiki says is true. Can’t they be taught? I imagine not. Maybe Toritsuka could approximate something similar to x-ray vision with his own abilities if he was dedicated and studied how he might expand his powers.

despite all of that he still invites Toritsuka over again? Japanese politeness, even from Saiki who has no respect for the kind of person that Toritsuka is? Or maybe it’s a quirk of translation. Let me see.

Okay, to me it looks more like, “yeah, yeah, go home already.” (hai, hai, kae-ta kae—) So, more of a dismissal than an acknowledgement.

Another underutilized power… come on now this is so useable in ship fics. And gen fics too. Saiki would make an entertaining detective character.

Also, if Saiki experiences all five senses live, does that mean…?

XD old man ass. hahaha

[yanderes-galore]

Platonic older sibling of Cartman that is his opposite that tries to teach him to be a better person concept? Thanks!

Honestly, I was excited for this as it would be such a shitshow. Pardon my language but if you're reading my stuff you're atleast 16 anyways. This concept bounces between younger you and Cartman and older you and Cartman, for sibling stuff.

Note: Wow, I actually loved writing this- I wish I put more cute moments but I had to still acknowledge the fact Cartman is an ass. Probably one of my new favorite platonic concepts I did. I do not mind feedback!

Yandere! Platonic! Eric Cartman with Older Sibling! Darling

Pairing: Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Jealousy, Mature language, Platonic behavior, I actually made some cute moments, Family issues, Manipulation, Murder, Violence, Clingy behavior.

Your existence confuses many who meet your family immensely.

How did the first child come out fine, but the second child came out... Cartman?

It's speculated that it's because Cartman was never given proper discipline.

He's also very hard to control.

You're so nice to everyone, you help your mother, you don't try to exploit anyone.

Meanwhile Cartman does the opposite of all that and makes people eat their parents.

The only person he's really compassionate to is you.

You're were the only older kid he liked when he was younger.

He did hate that all of his friends liked you too.

"Why aren't you like your sibling, Cartman?"

"Shut the hell up!"

You look so different compared to him.

In your grade, in fact the entirety of you growing up, people were astonished you were related.

"Cartman? The little fat punk? You're related to him?"

You look like you don't get along.

Of course, your sibling relationship isn't perfect...

But you are probably one of the only ones he genuinely cares for.

There's times Cartman tries to not show he cares for you...

Yet he can't help but like your comfort.

If you're wondering... is he affectionate?

Yes... with lots of grumbling.

Cartman secretly does like your hugs and sibling bonding.

He just doesn't want anyone around to see it.

If he isn't trying to pester his friends into hanging out, he comes to you.

He's nervous asking due to his pride.

You do try to put him on the right path, feeling that's the right thing to do as a sibling.

He's a horrible person... yet he's still your brother.

You try to teach him good morals and respect...

He doesn't pick up on it.

He's only ever good to you.

He's always been a moody kid.

Yet there has been times when you were younger he was... softer for lack of a better word.

For example you were watching TV together after school, he feel asleep almost on you.

R.I.P your breathing.

It was... cute.

You didn't even bother bringing him up the stairs and instead just tucked him in there.

You do love him.

Even with you both being older, him being around 18 and you somwhere in your 20's, you still care for him deeply.

Cartman acts like he doesn't want a sibling.

Although he probably can't imagine his life without you.

Now... the yandere part?

Cartman is selfish and easily jealous.

He's still manipulative even to you.

You just know to shut him down.

Cartman doesn't want his friends talking about you.

God he'd be so fucking pissed if one of his friends complimented you.

Even more so if you started talking with someone like Scott Tenorman.

You mention that man's name?

Cartman is actually screeching about it.

Cartman is very protective/possessive about his older sibling.

Ever since he was young he clung to your leg in public if you were doing something.

Which felt like you were being weighed down.

Your mother thought how Cartman feels about you is sweet.

You may have no father but she's happy you have each other.

Obviously no kidnapping in this concept.

You live with each other and he finds that really weird to do to his sibling anyways?

Murder?

Oh, well, that's an exception.

If the whole feeding people their parents wasn't a warning... then that's on you.

He'd definitely threaten, manipulate, and possibly even injure/murder those he hates around you.

He does not fuck around. Ever.

You do not get to talk to Scott, you do not get to talk to Kyle.

He hates them... that would be the ultimate betrayal!

He gets pissy at you at times and you've learned just to tolerate it.

He's screaming at you and you're just petting Mr. Kitty.

He then runs off to his room.

Thirty minutes later?

He's whining for you to come and comfort him....

That was just when he was younger, too.

When you're both older he isn't much better.

He's still giving you hugs and hating who you hang around.

Due to your childhood he's probably still clingy.

Even when you have a job and move out, kissing your mom goodbye, Cartman throws the biggest fit ever.

You took forever leaving the house that day-

"Eric... I'll show you where I live, you can visit anytime."

"NO. YOU'RE ABANDONING ME. DON'T TRY TO ACT LIKE YOU AREN'T."

Will always be a child with his behavior.

Hell, to you he's always a child since you grew up together.

Yes... he does visit.

It just takes forever to get him to leave.

Have a spouse?

He's criticizing you and them just to be an ass.

If you yell at him to stop or you'll kick him out he goes silent for awhile.

Overall, Cartman is a very jealous sibling who hates to share.

He clings to you and does like how nice you were to him, trying to correct his ways despite failing.

He loves you and wishes you two didn't have to go seperate ways...

Unfortunately he'll always be a controlling brat even if you tried to change it, you just need to know when to shut him down.

Idk if u d0 r0mantic headcanons but… Dating Matthew Patel headcanons

I haven’t done romantic headcanons before (at least in terms of “x reader” stuff) but I’ll give it my best shot!

Quick disclaimer: I am a lesbian who is very much not attracted to men, so I’m approaching this from a purely objective standpoint just to get a better idea of how I interpret his personality & overall approach to relationships (& it’ll also help me flesh out my MattLee headcanons so I can get a clearer idea of their dynamic in my head)

So anyway:

Dating Matthew Patel

As I mentioned in my previous post about Matt (which you can find in the tags), after what happened with Ramona he became hesitant to pursue another romantic relationship because he figured it would only end badly, so he started to play up the whole “mysterious brooding loner” schtick so people would leave him alone. Unfortunately, this only attracted him more attention because 1. he was trying way too hard so it just made him come off as overdramatic and 2. there was a select group of girls in his grade who thought he was secretly a vampire and took him rebuffing their advances as “playing hard to get” (yeah this all technically takes place before Twilight [and by extension the vampire craze] comes out but it’s my headcanon & I’m allowed to have a little fun).

If he did catch feelings for someone, he’d probably start out repressing them pretty heavily like the angsty little bitch he is. He talks a pretty big game for someone who claims they’re so slick, but when the time comes to actually tell someone how he feels he shuts down & it would probably take him a while to work up the nerve to confess.

Either that, or he’d come in overconfident with some kind of ridiculous pick-up line, then cringe at himself on the inside whenever he inevitably crashes and burns.

However, once he does finally feel comfortable enough with a partner, he would be completely and utterly OBSESSED. This man is first and foremost a theatre kid, so he is dramatic as fuck and not afraid to show it. Expect a lot of big, flashy, over-the-top romantic gestures; gifts, food (I do HC him to be a good cook), nice dates, fully-choreographed musical numbers—you name it.

It’s been said that the difference between being in love with a hero vs. a villain is that a hero would sacrifice you to save the world, but a villain would sacrifice the world to save you. Matt might be more of an edgelord than a true villain (no matter how much he claims he’s totally evil, yeah sure you are), but regardless he would burn the entire world down if it meant the person he loved would be warm.

It’s also been demonstrated that for all his big talk he has a pretty fragile ego, so he’d fall apart at the slightest indication that you were mad at him. Just totally pathetic (/affectionate) malewife guyfailure energy

Overall he acts all doom & gloom on the outside but when he does love someone, he’d both die and kill for them

honestly that’s about all i got for right now. i might come up with more later but it’s a lot easier for me to do these types of things for female characters bc women

ECU High School AU Part 1

Yes I'll explain this mess in order of film release lol.

Clint - Clint's like the Cady from Mean Girls where this is his first time in a traditional school. He was homeschooled on his family farm his whole life. His three brothers were so much older than him so he never had any friends. Total freshman material as he looks to everyone around him for guidance. Vince would pick on him for being the new kid in school but Clint doesn't let it bother him. He wants to be friends with all the freshmen and looks up to the upperclassmen.

Deke - Deke was abandoned at a firehouse's baby hatch with no identification or birth certificate so no one knows how old he is. He was in an orphanage until he got adopted by his foster parents. His foster parents are so religious that they named him Deke, short for Deacon. They could only afford used cars so Deke's car would be the equivalent of a 1996 Chevy Impala. He secretly loves old cars from the 80s and wants to buy a 1987 Chevy Corvette convertible one day. His foster parents decided that it would be best to have him remain a sophomore instead of having him skip grades. Vince would pick on him for not having real parents which makes him very insecure about himself.

Vince - He's the Regina of the ECU characters. Ever since he became a popular influencer, he got a big head but a ton of money which he thinks makes him popular with the girls. He picks on all of the underclassmen and even some of the other juniors. Danny's the only senior he can boss around since he knows he can get away with it. He doesn't have any real friends because unlike Chad and Scott, Vince only ever uses his money to get the poor kids to do whatever he wants and doesn't respect anyone. Deep down he wants to have friends and a loving girlfriend, but he's got such a new money mentality that you have to act snobby to show you're rich.

Danny - He got held back a year because he's so poor he had to work instead of focusing on school. Danny's the closest person at ECU High that Vince has to having a friend as they were born in the same neighborhood. They both worked on Vince's videos which got him that influencer status to begin with. He only lets himself get ordered around by Vince because he always hopes that Vince will give him money. When he's not around Vince he really tries to help out the underclassmen and hopes that Vince would go back to being his friend instead of a boss figure. He used to be good friends with Chad, but when he dropped out Danny found himself relying on Vince's money to support the family.

Tulsa - He's that boy in Junior ROTC who takes it so seriously you get annoyed by him. Also doesn't help that he's an Eagle Scout and is so by the book that he'd be seen as the teacher's pet and hall monitor. Tulsa's only a sophomore so he's always looked down upon by the school's "Mean Girls" and hated by his own peers. He wants to act as the freshmen's big brother (especially Clint's) by giving them advice, but he just comes off as preachy and annoying. Josh is the only one who always listens to him.

Pacer - While he wasn't homeschooled, he'd struggle with his identity. He's been picked on before for being mixed race, so he thinks that everyone's automatically gonna pick on him. He'd go into high school as a freshman not knowing how he should label himself, since high school is usually all about labels and cliques. The "Mean Girls" would look down at him because of this on top of him being poor. Clint was the first kid that Pacer trusted as soon as he met him. He realized that Clint isn't prejudiced or judgmental about him so Pacer actually considers him to be a friend.

Glenn - His parents were so problematic that he was taken out of his home and went through multiple foster homes. He is peak "troubled youth" and has been to juvie at least once before finally going to a loving foster home. He wants to be a good kid now that he found better parents so he takes his education very seriously. Despite being in different years, he really respects Deke and can relate to not having a good relationship with his biological parents. Vince would pick on him for being "trailer trash" and a bookworm on purpose since he knows Glenn's on probation.

Chad - Chad was one of the school's best swimmers and even had a chance at becoming a junior olympic. His parents are rich and works with Scott's parents often making them close friends. They both want to prove that they can do things without their parents money and look down on Vince for being so vain. However, since Chad was never as smart as Scott to go to college, he drops out in his junior year to open his tourist business. As much as Chad wants to strike out on his own, Scott still sends him money whenever he can to support his business. He still keeps in touch with Danny and realizes that Danny's situation was worse than he thought.

Toby - Toby would 100% be that kid who'd get held back a year or two before he officially gets diagnosed with a learning disability making him an 18 year old sophomore. Toby would also be on the autism spectrum making him Vince's biggest target of bullying, but he still wants to be friends with everyone. He'd join the wrestling team, but would need regular physicals since he was diagnosed with Scoliosis as a child. He's very good friends with Walter G. and Jodie as they're both athletes, but he's not very popular with girls (no one realizes that it's because Toby's asexual and therefore doesn't care about dating).

Walter G. - He's the star quarterback of the football team. He started off as the project freshman backup, but after a couple years became one of the top high school prospects in the state as a junior. Just about everyone likes him and he always treats the underclass with respect. He'd totally stick up for Toby when students pick on his disabilities. He would always go to his and Jodie's wrestling matches if he didn't have a game that night (there's something about watching the blonds wrestle that excites him, but Walter still can't tell for sure if he's gay or not).

Ross - He's that senior who you're not sure if he'll graduate or drop out to work full time. His parents recently died, so being 18 he needs to work whenever he could just so he could afford food as he wouldn't be able to go to a foster home. Him and Danny would be great friends as Ross would try to get Danny to stop doing whatever Vince asks him.

Mike E. - He's got big dreams to be a pilot like his dad. He makes money babysitting and his favorite kid is a young girl named Sue-Lin. He'd be that type of kid who crushes on the teachers and the nurses, but he still cares for his friends. He's got a protective instinct where he's one of the only freshmen who isn't afraid of Vince.

Mike W. - He dropped out of high school in his senior year after a tragic accident killed a good friend of his. The grief of losing his friend was so great that Mike ended up moving to Acapulco and took up odd jobs. He still keeps in touch with his parents and wants to go back to graduate, but he knows that for the time being he needs to travel alone and think about his life path.

Josh - Similar to Tulsa, he's that type of kid where being in the Boy Scouts is his only personality. He's the only one that actually respects Tulsa's authority as the hall monitor. He's the younger cousin of Jodie and thinks he's too rude and crude to be friends with.

Jodie - He's the star champion wrestler of ECU High and has been since freshmen year. Him and Toby have a friendly rivalry and wrestle each other all the time for fun. Jodie doesn't like Josh as he thinks Josh is that lame freshman who wants to be the teacher's pet and can't think for himself. However, he's so friendly to people who are different and doesn't care that Toby has special needs or if a guy comes out as gay (he's actually bisexual himself). If you pick on his "kin" he's gonna attack you which has gotten him suspended before. He's the big brother figure that the underclassmen actually listen to and completely scares the life out of Vince.

Part 2's coming out soon.

Mundane AU

Fandom: KHR Word Count: 1,005 Prompt: Mundane AU Characters: Tsuna, Haru, Yamamoto Event Host: @flufftober

School always sucks when you're fourteen. Your teachers are monsters, half the school always hates you, gym class is horrible even when you're athletic, no one takes you seriously but no one shows you any pity anymore and you can't do anything about it either because you're not a kid but not an adult yet. It's even harder when you're the outcast of the school, the loser who can't get the girl, the guy who's picked last in gym class because your athletics suck and you can't even pass one of the easiest classes. A loser is a loser and will always be a loser and that was exactly what Tsuna was.

Every day he'd come home and every day his mother would ask the same thing. "How was school, Tsu-kun?" And every day, Tsuna would lie and say it was fine. And after spending his whole life being a loser, Tsuna finally made friends in a baseball player and the bad boy of the school. But even then, he was still the loser who couldn't get the girl, the guy who was picked last in gym class, and the kid who got the lowest scores in everything. No good Tsuna really lived up to the no good name.

Of course he'd end up with a crush on the most popular girl in school, but as always Tsuna was too afraid to talk to her because he knew deep down he was a loser. And then one day it happened. A girl actually talked to him for the first time. It was a girl from another school and sadly the only reason she was speaking to him was because she felt pity on him because once again no good Tsuna was the one left out when everyone else made weekend plans.

Haru had been walking home when she ran into Tsuna, Yamamoto and Gokudera. Of course Yamamoto couldn't hang out because he had baseball practice as always. Being the nerd he was, Gokudera's weekend was occupied with his studies. And that left poor Tsuna with nothing to do and no one to hang out with. Haru felt bad. "Why don't we hang out then, Tsuna-san?" She asked.

Sweat ran down Tsuna's face. Did this girl actually like him? It wasn't like he'd have a chance with her anyway, so why not. Tsuna was desperate to find a friend of any kind no matter what it took. He spent most of his life alone and it was the most painful part of life for him. He could handle the name calling, he could handle getting beaten up, he could even handle failing all his classes, but not having a single friend in his life was the most painful part of being the loser, when Haru asked him to hang out, it was a blessing on his life that Tsuna had never thought the gods would ever bestow on him. He accepted the offer immediately, though deep down he was scared, he was worried it was too good to be true and tomorrow he'd find out she'd stood him up and it was all a stupid prank anyway.

But the next evening came, a Friday to kick off the weekend and sure enough as the bell rang for school to let out there was Haru outside the fence of Namimori Junior High, waiting patiently for Tsuna to arrive. "Ah, Haru-chan. I didn't think you'd be here when I got out of class?" Tsuna questioned, he thought she might have had longer hours being that she was very smart and attended one of the hardest all girl schools to get into.

"Ah, today was just testing, since Haru finished all her tests before lunch, I got out early." She beamed with pride. Tsuna never saw her so happy in all the time he'd known her. He wondered if she was just a nerd like Gokudera who got excited about their grades, or if maybe her parents were hard on her? He secretly hoped she was just another intelligent geek who enjoyed reading everything she could get her hands on like the certain delinquent he hung out with on a daily basis.

"Gokudera-kun!" Haru waved as she caught him smoking outside the school again.

Of course, Tsuna was and always would be a loser. Haru hadn't been there for him, she had her eyes on his best friend the whole time. Maybe he could go hide in a hole somewhere and no one would notice him until he could get over the embarrassment he felt in thinking for even a second that he would have a chance with a girl as cool as Haru.

"Sawada!" And to make matters worse, there was the boxing club captain once again trying to recruit him when Tsuna couldn't throw a punch to save his life. At least someone had noticed him this time?

"Oi, Herbivore." Make that two people. The day couldn't get worse. Now the Namimori prefect was after him, for God only knows what this time. Tsuna was and always would be a loser, he didn't need anyone to tell him that. But he still had at least one friend who was there for him.

"Yo! Tsuna! You busy after school?" Yamamoto walked over.

"Don't you have baseball practice?" Tsuna asked. Yamamoto was an athlete and the heartthrob of the school. He still didn't understand what the guy saw in him, but he was thankful he had seen something at all.

Yamamoto shook his head and flashed his characteristic grin that Tsuna swore was what made half the girls in the school swoon after him, the other half were often busy crowding Gokudera. "No. Our practice was cancelled. We have conditioning next week though."

"Sure, we can hang out." Tsuna smiled and nodded. Maybe it wouldn't suck so bad to be the loser of the school if it meant he still had a friend in Yamamoto because having at least one friend in your life was still better than nothing.

Okay time to dump info because I need a place to keep things 'straight' so I remember stuff about my multiple AUs upon AUs.

So I'm just gonna write shit and hope y'all pick it up.

The Salia Kids (Second Gen au)-

Jasper and 'Vee' are half-siblings with the same donor. Vee is 13, Jasper is 16. Both were concerned with sperm donors.

They are both on 9th grade (Jasper got held back, Vee got pushed forward) and have a rivalry on par to Sabrinas and Sylvies (they have mellowed out tho) Vees mom is Sabrina, while Jasper is Dalias. Jasper was named after Dalias younger brother, who's name is also Jasper. Vees name is Victoria Lila Kalmeren-Ashling the lll, because every first female born into Sabrinas family has the same name.

Vee is a child genius, taking a keen interest in computer science and technology. She likes making things, and with her Epithet: Imagine, it makes things very easy.

Jasper has yet to get one (I haven't gotten around to it) Jasper is Academically challenged in some way, however he can be very smart under pressure. Vee is the exact opposite of this. Jasper is secretly a Banzai Blaster, and while he thinks it's a secret, everyone knows except Sabrina.

Their relationships with their mothers varies. Vee has a great relationship with both of them, while Jasper is going through a rebellious streak and completely disregarding anything Sabrina says. This pisses her off to no end.

Dalia on the other hand, loves her children very much, and will die for them. (Sabrina will too, she's just too damn stubborn to admit it.)

King siblings(Second Gen Au)-

Amber and Liam are siblings, Amber being older at 14 years of age, and Liam being 9. They have that classic sibling relationship, y'know the one.

Liam is in 4th grade, and is 70% deaf in both of his ears. He wears hearing aids that help a ton, but can shut you up by just turning them off. He does that a lot. He's a very smarmy little shit, and not afraid to speak his mind. He's great at sports, and is tall for his age (9yrs old and 5'0 tall) he does take after Parker more than Micah, he has a strong sense of justice along with that classic King bluntness.

Amber is in 9th grade, and is a total band geek. Micah taught her how to play three different instruments when she was younger, and they have stuck with her. Unfortunately she takes after her Dad a bit too much, because she is the most awkward and dorkiest girl ever. She, just like her father, is considered a loser by the popular kids.

Ambers Epithet is Tune. This is also partly why she is very talented in music. Liam is a Mundie, as of right now, he does not know if he will get an Epithet, both of his parents are mundies, so the chances are low.

Both are half-Jewish due to Micah. They celebrate both holidays because Parker said: "Every child should celebrate with their parents, no matter what." Even though she doesn't talk to her parents.

The family is very well rounded and healthy. Of course there is an argument here and there, but overall nothing too bad.

Both kids have a different reaction to Percy though... Amber admires her great aunt (I think that's what she would be here) and looks at her work as an inspiration to keep going. Liam thinks she's boring, unfun, and too monotone. He has told her this to her face.

Bonnie's kids (Second Gen Au)-

Bonnie is Aroace, however that did not stop her from having kids. Even if they're not biologically related to her. She adopted twins, both of Deepwood race, and looks at them like theyre her own flesh and blood.

I haven't yet designed them, but both are great at roller skating and frequently work at Bonnie's pawn shop with her. Their names are, Amera and Armen, both are 9 years old, and... Just extensions of Bonnie.

Bonnie is a cigarette mom, most def. But she hides it when she can. It's a bad habit. Her go-to apology is asking if they want to get a fountain from the gas station. They immediately forgive her.

(they are still being developed)

Now onto the Age up AU, and spitballing :3

Micah and Parker (Age up AU)-

The healthiest relationship you will ever see. Both are working adults, and they make time for each other. They've been together since their late sophomore year, and are still growing strong.

When they found out they were expecting. They were completely happy. Until Micah started overthinking (like he always does) and started to freak out.

Until he turned to FRED of all people who just told him "Dude, I'm not good at this either! I'm just winging it!" And they freaked out together.

Blaire (@arospecbandgeek OC's go check em out) starts giving unsolicited advice to both of them, until Parker breaks down in tears because she thinks shes doing terrible. Blair has yet to apologize for this.

Sabrina and Dalia-

Another healthy relationship! Except Dalias ever growing anxiety at the fact her wife creaks like a 60yr old woman and is somehow WORSE than when she was younger.

Sabrinas ready to die at this point, she never expected to live this long.

Both have issues. Both love each other. Both girls :3

How about a modern reincarnation AU where Jean's at a pretty horrible point in his life and that's the time he meets Marco? Because, canonically, Marco understands points about Jean that even Jean himself doesn't understand/fails to see... I just feel like it'd be a good time to Jean to meet someone who ends up understanding him and seeing his good points, allowing him to see himself and his possibilities through the eyes of someone who managed to see the real him.

Ughh I love this dynamic so much and agree 100/10. Thank you for sending it in, these kind of discussions are great and have such super character-study vibes for me!

And you’ve got a great point, because Marco’s role served Jean’s character, so of course in a reincarnation au he’d be doing the same.

The question is, what would Jean’s horrible point in life be?

Could be anything that fits the given context really, but if we’re sticking to what Marco would help best with, we can narrow it down.

1. Jean’s leadership.

2. Jean’s self confidence.

4. Jean’s home life (technically a headcanon that Marco would help with this, though we know Jean has a complex relationship with his mother).

Or if you wanna be funky we can lump them all together (which is definitely what I’ll be doing for the sake of this post 👌)

(Though I’ll list some extra lil ideas for fancy au’s at the bottom of the post, just for fun)

All beneath the cut ☺️

Let’s say they’re young - younger than 15. I’m talking OVA A Sudden Visitor flashback young.

Jean has had a sheltered childhood so far, he lives in Trost and everyone knows Trost is well-off. His mother is doting, caring, and incredibly loving of her only child. (We know nothing about his father, just that he has one).

Jean gets picked on as a kid, potentially because he’s so sheltered and insecure. He loves his mum, he turns to her for support, but he’s still sheltered enough that being bullied takes its toll pretty seriously.

He has no self confidence, he’s a home-body, he hates change. So jumping between grades is probably a horrific period of life for him.

That’s where Marco comes in.

Marco is gentle, kind to everyone, and empathetic. He’s probably fairly popular, too (because everyone loves the easy-on-the-eyes, kindhearted, sunshine character that floats around school like a goddamn angel).

Jean feels like Marco is one of his first friends - potentially even the only kid who doesn’t ridicule him (or avidly avoid him because he’s perpetually scowling).

Jean latches onto Marco pretty hard and pretty fast. Marco doesn’t mind in the slightest.

Marco does mind that Jean consistently picks being alone over being around others. He minds that Jean has no self-confidence. He hates that someone so fragile can slip beneath the waves and get lost when they deserve to be seen.

Marco can tell a few things about Jean that Jean himself obviously hasn’t recognised yet.

Marco knows Jean has a proclivity for doing the right thing. The moral thing. He’s noticed the effort Jean puts into the things he secretly enjoys (art, cooking, etc.). He’s noticed that Jean also has little-to-no confidence in himself or his skills.

Nobody gets to see Jean’s sketchbook, and when they do, he doesn’t believe compliments, and he carries insults like a burden for years to come.

Jean is shy, he’s unsure of himself, and he runs away from problems rather than facing them (because he doesn’t think he can face them).

Marco dedicates himself to changing that.

Marco makes effort to show Jean what he loves about him. Marco smiles at him when they cross paths, he offers physical affection like he’s noticed Jean seeks from his mother, he tells Jean he’s worth something. He matters.

And Jean… he doesn’t know how to handle it.

Jean’s image of himself is worlds away from how Marco sees him.

But Jean likes Marco. Jean trusts Marco. So, compliments begin to make him flush pink rather than assume someone is lying to him for a laugh. He begins hesitantly showing off what he’s worked hard on. He starts taking little steps forward under Marco’s guiding hand.

Marco is the reason Jean strives to make more of his art. Marco is the reason he comes out of his shell - the reason he’s able to meet Conny and Sasha and not run for the hills when he’s affronted with social interaction.

Marco is the first person that makes Jean think more of himself. Marco is the reason Jean stops hiding himself away like he’s something to be seen and not heard.

Marco changes Jean fundamentally, and Jean suddenly isn’t too scared to admit that Marco has lodged his way inside Jean’s little fractured heart.

Marco rebuilds Jean’s confidence piece by piece, sculpting and encouraging like he’s Ymir and Jean is a titan made from sand.

Marco is why we get this progression:

Insecure child…

Cocky (but loveable) teen…

Refined adult, capable of serious leadership

Alternatively, some lil ideas for similar au’s could be:

- Marco helping Jean come out.

- Marco helping Jean pursue dreams he had previously found ‘unrealistic’ (like art school!)

- Marco helping Jean through an illness or injury that leaves Jean thinking he’s damaged irreparably in some way.

- Marco helping Jean out of a dangerous situation he doesn’t have the faith to abandon (religion, family, bad relationship, dead-end job, etc.).

So many things!

Let's Talk Whump

Welcome to Let’s Talk Whump, a series of interviews that spotlight the amazing people in our whump community! I’m Malice and I’ll be your host today. 

Today’s I’m talking whump with the amazing @lonesome–hunter!

(this blog and the recommended pieces contain NSFW and are 18+)

Welcome to Let’s Talk Whump! Would you mind sharing a little about yourself?

Howdy! My name is Sarah but everyone usually calls me Lonesome. I'm an elder here in the community lol. I love thrifting, smoking pot, birdwatching and Disney World (I live so close to it). My favorite colors alternate between black, various greens and burnt orange. I truly love all animals. There's no way I could pick just one. I am particularly fond of moths, owls, elephants and exotic birds. 

I'm a big stoner goth aunt and I love connecting with people. So feel free to come talk to me anytime!

What does whump mean to you? 

It's absolutely an outlet for me. When I was a kid I couldn't figure out why I liked seeing people tied up in people's basements in movies and on TV so much but it never left my mind. Those feelings are there, the excitement. When I started writing in fifth grade I realized I could produce those feelings by writing the stories myself.

And trauma dumping through fictional people is almost therapy lol.

And how did you find the whump community? What made you want to join? 

During the first season of Supernatural I got on live journal and found other SPN communities. Then I fell down a rabbit hole that led me to whump. I finally had a word and a whole bunch of people who felt the same way which felt validating after being told I'm weird from teachers and family members.

During the pandemic I reconnected with it when I was in a dark place and really got into what everyone was doing. I thought "maybe I can do this". The rest is history.

Do you think your view on whump changed since you joined in terms of trope enjoyment or consumption style?

My view on whump has always been the same really. No one is hurting anyone and with proper warnings we can write the darker stuff some of us really enjoy.

I can't really say there are any I changed my mind over. Any trope can be good if it sucks you in with the writing. 

And your favourite whump tropes because it’s guaranteed there’ll be more than one!

 Ooh wee here we goooo lol. I dig dehumanization, whipping, sadistic whumpers, noncon, water torture, stress positions, begging. So many.

Time to share your awesome writing. Do you have a favourite piece you've written? 

So my first main series “The Devil’s Highway” has been my baby for three plus years and I’m excited to rework it now that I have more tools at my disposal. That being said, I really am proud of what I did with “Bury Me Beneath The Weeping Willow Tree”. It features some heavy TWs so be mindful of that but that almost stopped me from wanting to do it. Would showing Big Boy and Darlin’s graphic murder be too far? Probably lol. But I really dug deep in and got emotional writing it honestly. And it shows Ezra that this weird love Josiah has for me won’t protect him like he thinks it will. It didn’t work for Big Boy. Those two guys are secretly my favorite and I’m most excited about reworking that particular story.

Your imagery is deliciously brutal and creepy. I’m obsessed with it, it’s that good! Do you have a writing routine or is it more when inspiration strikes?

Definitely a night owl. I can’t focus until it’s dark out. Gotta have water and a little sweet drink to keep me focused. I tend to write when something strikes, lately it’s been extremely dry for me creatively but I’m trying to stretch my legs again and get back into it.

And do you find that it’s easier to write some things over others?

I can write the hell out of dreams, surrealism and atmosphere. That’s always been my favorite thing to do writing wise. Also death fics are fun lol.

Dialogue is my least favorite and it probably shows but can’t get better without practice.

Is there anything you're working on at the moment?

Been working on the rework of The Devil’s Highway, started a fun little prompt series about a bunch of masked men and I have another forced to fight series with slow burn romance than I’ve ever done before.

Do you have a joke or pun you would like to share to spread some smiles today?

I wish I could remember the dad joke my customer told me last night that sent me into a coughing fit but I have another one for you.

"What do you call a factory that makes okay products?" "A satisfactory."

That got a laugh out of me! Is there any writing advice you’d like to share?

Just have fun. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself and just write for yourself.

And tag your stuff!

Shout out to your favourite writing/whump blogs, bffs or people who've inspired you. We're hyping everyone one up here!!!

Oh man there's so many I could be here all day but these folks have truly helped me so much over the years and I would die for them lol

@knivestothroats, @galaxywhump, @girlsjustwannadrawwhump, @evermetnotforgotten, @redstainedsocks, @coldresolve, @whumpshaped, @whumpfigure, @ephemeral-phosphorescence, @whump-me-all-night-long, 

Anything you'd like to add?

Save Florida from Facists!

So good to have you here today, @lonesome--hunter! 

And to all you folks at home, have a whump-derful day!

“The Beginning of Janna’s Journey”

Hi, My name is Janna Ryca Dicdican. 17 years old, a senior high school student from ABM strand and this is the story of my life. When i was a kid, i can say that that was one of the best moments of my life. My life back then was just filled with joy and laughter, i used to think that my family was perfect. I used to be very close with my dad and he always take me to his work, he used to be a family/company driver. My mother had to do all kind of jobs to raise me and my 6 siblings. Being a kid, I have seen my parents hardships and suffering just to be able to give us a good life not a perfect life because we went through a lot of problems. Growing up i have realized that life wasn’t perfect, it is sometimes cruel and unfair. I have seen my parents argue and fought just because of money, i have realized that my parents have been struggling to provide us our needs and to send us to school. It always happens again and again and I think i just got used to it. Our house is always so loud even if it’s just early in the morning, you can hear my siblings arguing and fighting, It’s a normal day for my family. When i was in kindergarten my mom used to take me to school everyday, she brings me snacks and pick me up until she got pregnant and from then, it was my older brother that i was with to school and i have learned how to wash my uniform without my mother since she’s busy with her work and with our youngest sibling. When i was in 5th grade,me and my older brother was in charge of taking my two younger siblings to school and taking care of them making sure they’re safe because my mother wasn’t around. Me and my older brother took the place of my mother and father but before, my father used to send me to school with his bike since the school was just near our house. I never cried at school when i was in kindergarten and I always just stare at these kids while they’re crying because their parents had to go. I have realized that i was never a type of kid that cries easily and It was hard for me to show my emotions. Even though i seemed strong and brave on the outside, i was just a kid. My brother was the only one I could rely on. when i feel like everything is too much for me, i cry in front of my brother because it’s the only time where i feel like it’s okay to be vulnerable because whatever happens he’s going to protect me because im his sister even though sometimes he gets mad because he hates seeing my cry. I knew he was strong but deep inside he was just a kid just like me who needs someone to rely on.

Time flies so fast and now i am finally in high school, i still remember the feeling of excitement to go to school. Everything was new to me, i have met a lot of new people and reunited with old friends. The first day was hard since I wasn’t familiar with the place and i had to make a lot of adjustments because elementary days is very different to High school life. Me and my best friend kat was always together ever since we were little, she was always so bright that helped me through my dark moments in life. We were always together doing crazy stuffs and doing everything together. When we went to high school together I immediately saw this guy who caught my eye. I think he was my first love in high school that up until this day i still admire him. I saw him when me and kay were going to the canteen to buy food, he was in a class and he caught my eye, there’s something about him that just caught my attention. I asked kat if he knew this guy and it turned out that he’s name is jc and he was a close friend of kat’s older brother. From that moment, my boring high school life just became really exciting for me. Everyday I would always look for him secretly and it is so annoying because this guy rarely gets out of their classroom. He’s always either at the library or in the fourth floor doing chess. He was my type, tall, handsome, smart and rarely talks at all. I even joined the Girl Scout when I found out he was a commander of Boy Scouts in our school. Im always excited when we do formation after school because it’s the only time where i get to see him finally. I have done a lot of stupid things because of him but I don’t know if he ever noticed me and we never even talked or had a conversation, i added him on Facebook and he accepted my friend request so i took my shot and messaged him but he never replied. Then I found out that he’s already in a relationship and i saw them and they looked great together, they’re the perfect match and I realized he was out of my league. I was still young back then but I knew i had to stop liking him since he’s already had a girlfriend but I still admired him and supported him silently. Finally i have graduated from high school and I never saw him again after that. High school was really fun for me.

I am now a senior high school student, a lot have changed in my life. I have also learned a lot from my mistakes in the past. Senior high school life is about to end, I am so proud of myself for making it this far. For surviving and moving forward even if it feels heavy sometimes. It was never easy but i know this is just the start of my journey to becoming the best version of myself and achieving my goals and dreams. I always think that life isn’t perfect because nothing is perfect even me because life isn’t about finding yourself but rather creating yourself. You sculpt the person you want to be everyday. Once again this is me Janna and this is just the beginning of my journey.
