- kit <3
You werenât much for flying but when your company asked you to join a work sponsored trip to Japan you couldnât help but jump on it. Though youâd been working in Seoul for almost a year, youâd never been able to find the time to travel out to Tokyo. And having the whole trip paid for by the company made it even better.
Though they hadnât splurged for first class tickets, youâd never sat in business class before, not even on your flight to Seoul when youâd first moved there.
You found your seat quickly, a middle seat, wonderful. But as the plane filled up you realized you lucked out and got the whole row to yourself, though it being a red eye flight might have something to do with it.
Now, you werenât afraid of flying, but you werenât exactly a fan either. Particularly when it came to take off and landing.
As the plane taxied away from the gate you got comfortable in your seat, putting on your headphones and playing some music hoping to distract yourself from takeoff. You squeeze the armrests as the plane rises and falls before eventually reaching cruising altitude.
Having settled down a little from takeoff, you take the time to look around the plane cabin. A particular passenger catches your attention, black beanie, black sweatshirt, black sweats and sneakers. Though it wasnât his outfit that caught your attention, it was his face. Youâd know it anywhere, you were certain that Bang Chan was sitting in the row across from you, working on his laptop.
At first, you didnât know what to do. You didnât want to bother him but you wanted to say something.
âHey Chris.â You were thankful he didnât have his headphones on right at that moment because he looked up, turning towards you.
You smiled awkwardly and waved, âSorry to bother. I just wanted to say Iâm a big fan.â
He returned your smile, about as brightly as youâd expect from someone on a red eye flight, âHi. What is your name?â
âY/N.â
âNice to meet you.â
âWhat is bringing you to Tokyo? Itâs not a SKZ thing is it? Though I suppose youâre probably not supposed to tell me if it is.â You laugh quietly at yourself.
âNo, itâs just me. We have a week break and I wanted to get out of Seoul. I was going to go to this spa resort Hyunjin told me about for a few days.â
You gasp softly, âYou? Taking a break? Who are you and what have you done with Bang Chan?â
He chuckles, âHaha, very funny-â as he was about to continue the person next to him slumped over onto his shoulder. He jumps, turning towards the man and slowly pushing him back to his own seat.
You bite your lip, hesitating before speaking up, âDo you⌠do you want to join me?â
He looks back over at you and his millisecond of hesitation makes you overthink.
âYou donât have to! I just, I wasnât trying to- I have more room and you⌠you donât have toâŚâ You trail off.
âI appreciate the offerâŚâ he smiles genuinely. âI donât want to impose.â
âYouâre not, I promise.â You wave him over, âIâve got the whole row.â
He glances between your empty row and his full one, both people beside him sound asleep. You wave him over once again.
He glances down the aisle, making sure the stewardesses are busy, and quickly grabs his backpack and laptop before sliding into the aisle seat next to you.
âI can move over if you want more space.â You offer, already starting to shift to the window seat.
âNo, no, you donât have to move.â He shakes his head, pushing his backpack under the seat and setting his laptop on the tray table.
You canât help but steal a glance at the screen, seeing that heâs working on song a demo.
âTrying to get a sneak peak?â Chris teases.
You sit back, blushing, âSorry, couldnât help it. Itâs not like I understand what any of it means...â
âDo you want to listen?â He asks.
âYouâd let me?â You raise your eyebrows in surprise.
âItâs a pretty rough demo at the moment and thereâs no vocals so I donât see the harm in letting you hear it,â he holds out his headphones.
You smile, taking them and placing the headphones over your ears. Chris rewinds the track and presses play. It wasnât what you had expected, much slower, almost sensual. It reminded you of Red Lights a little bit. You could hear where the melody would go and couldnât wait to find out what the lyrics would be, though knowing Chris it could be years before this song was finished and released fully.
The song ends and you take off the headphones, handing them back to him, âI like it, itâs very you.â
âI think it fits with our style.â He nods.
âI meant you specifically.â
âMe?â
You nod, âMhm.â
âWhy me?â
âYou have a very particular⌠sound, especially for your solo songs.â
âDo I?â He laughs.
âItâs very distinct.â You grin.
âGood to know," he nods, "So, tell me about you.â
âWhat do you want to know?â
âWhy are you heading to Japan?â
âWork trip.â You answer simply.
âWhat do you do?â
âIâm a photographer.â
âThatâs cool, what will you be photographing in Tokyo?â
âI work for a large marketing company and they need pictures of an event they are holding in the city.â
âVery cool.â
Before you knew it, two hours had passed and the captain came over the intercom saying that they were going to begin their descent. Chris started to put away his laptop as you buckle your seatbelt.
You felt your stomach drop as the plane slowly lost altitude and instinctively grabbed for the arm rest, unfortunately for you, Chris already had his arm on it, meaning you grabbed his hand. You pull away quickly, feeling a blush heat your cheeks as you apologize.
âShit, Iâm sorry. I didnât mean to- I just donât like-â
He cuts off your ramble by taking your hand and squeezing it tightly in his, âSqueeze as hard as you need to.â He smiled gently.
You looked at him, you were surprised but also not at all because this was completely in character for Chris. You were about to say something stupid when the plane dropped again and you sat back in your seat, squeezing his hand hard as you gripped the other arm rest.
The plane landed on the airstrip, Chris didnât say a word as you continued to hold his hand until the seatbelt sign was turned off. You gathered your things and walked silently off the plane with Chris trailing behind you.
Once you were at the gate you stepped to the side, Chris following suit.
âUh, thank you⌠for that. I really appreciate it.â
âHappy to help, a few of the guys donât really like flying either so Iâm used to it.â
âThis, uh, this is kind of awkward but can I ask you to sign something? Itâs been really cool hanging out with you and I⌠I donât know, I want something to remember it by.â
He laughs softly, âAs long as you swear I wonât see it on eBay in a few days.â
You giggle, âCross my heart.â
You pull out the notebook you carry with you and hand it to him with a pen.
âNo photocard?â He teases.
âI⌠I didnât bring any with meâŚâ You look away as the blush returns to your cheeks.
âIâm just teasing.â He says as he starts to write in the notebook.
He took longer than you expected but after a minute he closes the notebook and hands it back to you, âI would ask for something from you to remember this by but I think the nail imprints on the back of my hand will suffice.â
âI did not grip your hand that hard,â you reach out without thinking and take his hand, inspecting it for marks.
As you let go and look back up at him you see him smiling fondly at you.
âOh, sorry, I wasnât thinking-â
He shakes his head, silencing you, âYou think too much, sweetheart. You didn't do anything wrong. Maybe Iâll see you around.â
You both wave and he walks off, leaving the airport as you head to baggage claim.
As they find somewhere to sit and wait for your luggage, you open the notebook and find where Chris had signed.
Y/N Thanks for hanging out with me, hopefully Iâll see you around â¤ď¸ Bang Chan XXX - XXXX use it wisely ;)
He didnâtâŚ

I donât know if youâve answered this question already somewhere but will ever add another chapter to your fic on Ao3 âHomuncular Natureâ? I really enjoy reading it and I just want to know if it is discontinued or not. It has been more than a couple of years

My friends have been bugging me about this as well lmao! To be completely honest I never call anything truly discontinued because my passions and interests are always in flux and sometimes Iâll rebound really strongly after a few years of hiatus (case in point, cookie run kingdom most recently)
But for homuncular nature in particular, I do have chapter 10âs story beats mostly planned out, as well as rough strokes for a lot of things up to the ending! I just havenât gotten around to writing it because Iâll start and then feel really dissatisfied with it and scrap it. So give it some time and itâll eventually be out! My current goal is to get chapter 10 out before the end of this year! Hopefully the new albedo content will get me motivated to write again :)

don't you forget about me (steddie fic)
saw this post and was inspired to write something angsty <3
The first thing Eddie is aware of when he wakes up, before he even opens his eyes, is the dull, aching pain throbbing through pretty much his entire body. The second thing heâs aware of is that someone is holding his hand.Â
âEddie?â The hand in his tightens its grip as Eddie begins to stir; the voice it presumably belongs to sounds immeasurably relieved, yet only vaguely familiar.Â
Eddie groans. His eyelids flutter, blinking awake, and he groggily rolls his head to the side to get a look at whoever had spoken.Â
The voice sighs again, âOh thank god-âÂ
âHarrington?â Eddieâs eyes fly open wide now as they land on the mystery man sitting beside him on the edge of the bed - a man he most definitely is not close enough with to be holding his hand, and a bed that is most definitely not his own. He snatches his hand away. âWhat the hell are you doing? Where am I?â
âEd-â Another manâs voice, this one just as relieved and infinitely more familiar. It fills Eddie with relief too as he looks to his other side to find his uncle Wayne rising from a nearby chair to come up next to him.Â
âWayne, what-?â His surroundings are becoming more clear. âWhat happened? Why am I in a hospital? And why the fuck is King Steve at my bedside?â Eddie tries to sit up only to gasp and wince in pain as the dull ache in his sides sharpens to near agony at the movement.Â
âTake it easy, son.â Wayneâs hand lands on his shoulder, gently but firmly pushing him back down onto the pillows. âYou were hurt real bad.âÂ
âYeah, I got that,â Eddie grumbles out. He sucks in a deep, intentional breath and exhales slowly, the pain beginning to dull again now that heâs settled. His questions are still largely unanswered, though. Blank mind reaching desperately for any logical piece to this bizarre puzzle, he turns an accusing glare to Harrington. âDid you land me in here? Is that why youâre here, some sort of weird guilt thing?âÂ
Harringtonâs looking at him like a kicked puppy. âWhat? No, I-â he falters, takes a shaky breath and swallows painfully like heâs trying not to cry. âYou donât remember?âÂ
âI donât remember what? Will someone just tell me what happened?â Eddieâs confusion is rising more and more into agitation with every second he remains without an explanation.Â
âWhatâs the last thing you remember?â Harrington asks quietly.
âI was driving home from school, just found out I wasnât gonna graduate again.â Eddie frowns as he thinks back, still trying to put pieces together. âDid I crash my car? Is that it? I was emotional and not paying attention and got into an accident?âÂ
Yet again, he receives no answers.Â
âEddie, what month is it?â Wayne asks instead, his tone dangerously measured and serious. âWhat year?âÂ
âMayâŚâ Eddie says warily, â1985.â
His words hold a weight he doesnât understand, landing heavy on the others in the room and thickening the air. It sends a chill of dread down his spine, the way his answer etches concern deep into the lines of Wayneâs face, the way Steve Harrington seems to take it like a blow to the chest.Â
Harrington exhales sharply as if heâs been punched, standing abruptly and taking a few stumbling steps back. Wayne says, âItâs April of â86, Ed.â
Eddieâs blood runs cold. âNo. No, it canât be.âÂ
âIâm gonna go tell the nurse youâre awake,â Harrington mumbles, his voice strained and his eyes glassy with barely held-back tears.Â
âIâll go,â Wayne offers, pushing himself away from Eddieâs bed. He gives Harrington a meaningful look, though what that meaning is, Eddie canât decipher.Â
Harrington turns his devastated gaze to the older man. âBut, Wayne, he doesnât-âÂ
âI know, kid.â Wayne gives a sad smile and places a sympathetic hand on Harringtonâs shoulder as he passes by. âJust talk to him.âÂ
Eddie is thrown off by this familiarity between them. Since when were those two close? He feels like heâs entered some sort of parallel universe where everything is just ever so slightly wrong. It leaves an itch beneath his skin, uncomfortable and out of place, like he no longer quite fits in his own body, in his own life. Heâs lost 11 months, apparently, and this world is no longer his; he doesnât know where he fits into it anymore.Â
Wayne leaves the room, and Eddie wants to protest: Donât leave me here with this guy I donât know in this time I donât know, please, youâre the only thing that feels safe and familiar! Anxiety is crawling through him like a thousand tiny bugs in his veins. He wants to scream, he wants to cry, he wants to run. Anything to shake this feeling loose. But heâs confined to this bed, trapped both by his pain and by all these machines heâs hooked up to, and he sure as shit isnât going to have a breakdown in front of Steve goddamn Harrington.Â
Instead, Eddie resigns himself to this situation and casts a sideways glance at Harrington who very much looks like heâs also trying not to have a breakdown. âIâm freaking out, man,â Eddie says finally, hating how shaky and pathetic his voice sounds. âI swear to god, Harrington, if you donât tell me what the hell is going onâŚâÂ
Harrington worries his lip between his teeth as he hesitates. âItâs a lot to explain.âÂ
âYeah, I bet,â Eddie scoffs out a humorless laugh. âIâm missing nearly an entire year, of course itâs a lot to fill in. Unless Iâve been here this whole time?âÂ
âNo.â Harrington shakes his head. âNo, youâve only been here about a week. I- I donât know why youâre missing so much time, the whole Vecna thing only started like a week before that-âÂ
âVecna?â Eddie interrupts to question. âWhat does any of this have to do with the D&D campaign I was planning? And, also, how the fuck do you know about that?âÂ
Harrington closes his eyes for a second and takes a breath, like having this conversation is the most painful thing heâs ever had to do. âIâm not talking about D&D, Ed. Vecna was a real-life monster from a real-life alternate dimension we called the Upside-Down. The kids only called him Vecna because we didnât know who he was at the time and he, like, cursed people before he killed them, but he was actually Henry Creel, which is a whole other fucked up story.â
âOkayâŚâ Eddie doesnât know who âthe kidsâ are and heâs skeptical of the way Harrington talks so factually about monsters and dimensions and curses existing in the real world, but he does remember his uncle telling him stories about the demonic tragedy of the Creel family, which is the only thing that makes any of this even halfway believable. It still doesnât explain how Eddie wound up in the hospital with his entire body feeling like itâd been run through a blender, though, or why the former king of Hawkinâs High was hovering over his sickbed. He gestures for Harrington to continue.Â
âI never wanted you to get involved in all this Upside-Down shit,â Harringtonâs voice breaks. He steps closer to Eddieâs bed again, and he looks so so sad as he stares down at him that it makes Eddieâs own heart ache, just a little bit. Harringtonâs hand twitches at his side as if he means to reach out for Eddie but then thinks better of it, running the hand through his hair instead as he continues, âI tried to keep you from it for so long, I really did, but then Vecna killed Chrissy in your trailer and the whole town blamed you and you were just a part of things then, there was no getting around it. You helped us fight him - Vecna. You kept his army of bats off our ass while we weakened his body and El weakened his mind. If it werenât for you we never wouldâve defeated him and we certainly wouldnât have all made it out alive.â Harringtonâs gaze softens, as does his voice, his next words almost a whisper, âYou were a hero, Eddie.âÂ
âThat doesnât sound like me,â Eddie says, like thatâs the least plausible part of Harringtonâs story. And, really, it is. He can wrap his mind around a lot of things: a murder in his trailer - sure, Forest Hills always was a shady place; the whole town accusing him of being a killer - yeah, of course, that tracks; even an evil wizard from another dimension with an army of bats - fine, okay, why the hell not. But Eddie Munson is no hero, and heâs definitely not any sort of fighter either.
âNo, you never did think so, did you?â Harrington mutters with a sad sort of fondness and the barest trace of a wistful smile. âBut itâs true. Dustin was in danger and you didnât even think twice. You ran right into the fray without a second thought, sacrificed yourself so that the rest of us might survive. Those bats nearly killed you, b-â he breaks, choking on whatever word he was going to say. His eyes swim with yet more unshed tears. âI almost thought they had killed you, you know. I thought you were dead when I carried you out of the Upside-Down,â he admits shakily, choked up and barely managed, âand even when I brought you here and you were stable, I was still so scared you wouldnât wake upâŚâÂ
Eddie doesnât know how to react to any of that information or to such a display of emotion. His own hands twitch now with the urge to reach out and comfort him, but he too denies that instinct. He tries for humor instead, something lighter, cracking a grin and teasing, âAw, Stevie, I didnât know you cared.âÂ
Harrington makes a sound halfway between a sob and a laugh. âOh, Ed, you have no idea.âÂ
âWe were friends then, werenât we?â Eddie guesses now, carefully. Itâs rapidly becoming the only possible explanation for the guyâs behavior around him. âBefore all the Vecna stuff?â
âYeah,â Harrington manages, forcing a small, sad smile as his eyes finally overflow and streak his cheeks with tears. âYeah, we were good friends.âÂ
~
Wayne reenters the room then with a nurse in tow, and Steve quickly turns away and rubs his hands over his face. He needs to pull himself together; he canât break down right now, not yet, not here.Â
He listens, distantly, as the nurse asks Eddie a bunch of questions and then tells the rest of them that she needs to take him in for some tests to determine the cause and prognosis of Eddieâs amnesia. He watches, numbly, as she wheels Eddieâs entire bed out of the room.Â
Steve can barely hear, barely see, his emotion clouding his eyes and roaring in his ears. He stares blankly through the open doorway and struggles to swallow down the ever-rising lump in his throat.Â
Wayneâs voice rumbles from somewhere beside him, but he canât quite make out the words. âWhat?âÂ
âIâll take that as a no, then,â Wayne says, the sound reaching Steveâs ears a little clearer now. âI asked if you were alright.âÂ
Steve shakes his head. His voice comes out coarse and raw, ââCourse Iâm not alright.âÂ
âRight, âcourse youâre not,â Wayne echoes. He follows Steveâs mournful gaze to the door Eddie had disappeared through. âWhat did you tell him?âÂ
âTold him he was a hero,â Steve croaks, â...and that we were good friends.â
âAhâŚâ Steveâs vision is so blurred behind a thick layer of tears he canât see the sympathetic frown on the old manâs face, but he knows itâs there. âAt least heâs alive, kid,â Wayne tries to be comforting. âYou can always start over.âÂ
âYeah, I know, but I donât- I donât want to start over, I just want-â Steve chokes back a sob. He just wants Eddie.
Itâs a horrible thought, but Steve almost thinks that this just might be worse than if Eddie really had died⌠Because how is Steve supposed to handle the fact that his boyfriend of 9 months no longer knows him? How is he supposed to cope now that the love of his life looks right at him and no longer sees him?
He closes his eyes, presses the heels of his palms into his eyelids, inhaling a shaky breath and exhaling an even shakier sigh. Steve whispers, âIt feels like Iâm losing him all over again.âÂ

Swapped (part 2)
Incredibles au power swap pt. 2! Checking in on some of the other boys, who are... struggling lol.
Part 1 | Next
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyrule woke up feeling cold.
A shiver went through him as he slowly came back to awareness, the cold feeling sinking into his very bones, and he wondered why whatever he was lying on was so hard and uncomfortable.
Why did his chest hurt? Why was he so cold? He hadnât woken up like this since...
Since...
Panic smacked into him, and Hyruleâs eyes flew open, his heart thudding as he looked around. He took in the unfamiliar walls around him, piles of rubble and dirt, and right as his heart began to pound with fear, he saw Time waking up, a hand held to his chest.
Hyrule sighed in relief, and carefully sat up himself, immediately feeling better. If dad was here, he wasnât back on the streets, or... worse.
But... that didnât really answer the question of where he actually was.
Before Hyrule could try and figure it out though, someone let out a panicked gasp. Hyrule jumped and turned around, and saw Wild sitting on the ground a few feet away, looking on the verge of hysterical.
âIâmâ Iâm slow,â Wild choked out, and Hyrule blinked in confusion as he watched Twilight stumble to his feet beside him, a hand held to his head.
âWild, itâs all right,â Twilight said, taking a step, then yelped as he somehow went running across the room and straight into a wall. âOw!â
âYou took my speed!â Wild wailed, and Hyrule stared, watching as Twilight tried to get to his feet, but fell over again when his legs went too fast for him. He did a quick glance around the hallway, not seeing anyone else apart from his two brothers and dad. If he had to guess, the rest of his family was probably blocked off by the wall that had collapsed.
...Which had collapsed because of a weird explosion that had also knocked them all out. Right. Now he remembered.
Time properly sat up and looked at Wild and Twilight, his face creased with concern... and a little pain, Hyrule thought. Wild stopped yelling when he saw their dad move, but he still looked panicked, and it seemed like Twilight was afraid to move, his expression confused and fearful.
âBoys what is going on?â Time asked, and Twilight wrapped his arms around himself.
âI donât know, I woke up and couldnât hear barely anything and then Wild started yelling and somehow I have his speed and I canât turn into a wolf,â he said rapidly, clutching at his hair.
âAnd now I donât have anything!â Wild added, looking on the verge of tears.
Hyrule blinked, and an even colder feeling ran through him as he digested that. It looked like the explosion had done more than just collapse the wall and knock them out... it had also messed up Wild and Twilightâs powers.
...were they the only ones?
Hyrule quickly drew on his own powers, just to reassure himself nothing was wrong with them. He tried healing first, summoning a blue glow to his hands, but then the icy feeling that had been with him even since heâd woken up suddenly intensified, and Hyruleâs stomach lurched.
The blue glow was the wrong color.
He tried again, more frantically, but the blue continued to be the wrong color, cold instead of the usual warm, and ice began to spread out from where Hyrule sat, only increasing his panic. Trying to shield brought up no results either, and Hyrule drew desperately on the strange cold power he could feel inside of him, trying to make it heal, to make it shield, do anything it was supposed to be doing.
All he could produce was ice.
Hyrule gasped, trying to stay calm, but not succeeding in the slightest at keeping back the wave of panic that was crashing over him.
What was happening? Anything he tried just kept turning into ice, shielding didnât work, healing didnât work, his...
His powers were gone.
The one thing heâd been able to rely on his entire life.
Hyrule felt his breath pick up, his heart pounding as more ice spread out from him. He wouldnât be able to shield people anymore, protect himself and others from danger, he couldnât heal, he wouldnât be able to do anything if he or anyone else got hurt, all he could make was ice and ice and iceâ
âHyrule,â a voice said, and Hyrule looked up and saw his father had joined his side, a worried look on his face.
âDadâ I canâtâ I canât get my shield up,â Hyrule managed to choke out, clutching at his hair. âAnd my healing, itâs not working, itâs just iceââ
âHyrule calm down,â Time reassured, holding out a hand.
âWhyâ why is it doing this, Iâ wait, donât touch me! Iâll freeze you!â Hyrule choked as his father kneeled beside him, and Time ignored his words, taking his hands in his own.
They felt... warm.
âHyrule, Iâve dealt with Warriorsâ powers more times than I can count, you wonât freeze me. Calm down,â Time continued, and Hyruleâs brain stuck for a second on the phrasing. Warriorsâ powers? âFocus on reining them in. It should be like your own powers, just a little different. Relax.â
Hyrule sucked in a deep breath, thinking slowly through Timeâs words and trying to do what he said. He carefully pulled on the strange powers he had, trying to make the cold ease back and stop escaping from him like a leaky faucet, and the ice began to slow in its spread.
Encouraged by the results, he focused a littler harder, and the ice stalled as he took in more deep breaths, finally tamping his panic down to something more manageable. The ice had stopped, and he felt a little less cold as his hands stopped glowing.
The lack of warmth in his middle from both his powers was still terrifying, but Hyrule thought he could... work with it now.
...Maybe.
Hyrule let out one last shaky exhale, and Time squeezed his shoulder, Hyrule leaning into it and feeling much calmer.
â...thanks Dad,â he sighed, and Time nodded.
He stayed next to him for another few moments, letting him continue to calm down, but then Twilight yelped again, and Time drew back with a sigh. He pulled his hand off of Hyruleâs shoulder, but as he drew back, Hyrule let out a startled squeak.
Everything below his fatherâs elbow was missing.
Time jumped, a truly shocked look on his face, but before he could do anything, his fingers flickered back into view like theyâd never been gone at all.
Hyrule and Time both stared at them, and Hyrule watched as Timeâs arm abruptly faded out of view again, appearing and disappearing at random.
âYou... have Legendâs invisibility?â he said hesitantly, beginning to get an idea of what might be going on, and his father slowly nodded, staring intensely at his hand. Whatever he was trying to do didnât seem to work though, and he sighed, standing up and helping Hyrule stand as well.
âIt looks like it. And you have Warriorsâ ice, and Twilight has Wildâs speed,â Time said, and winced as Twilight tripped and landed on his face. âTwilight?â
âFine,â his son called back weakly, and Time led Hyrule over to where Wild was still sitting in a mild panic.
He patted the both of them on the shoulder, looking into their eyes for a moment, then walked over to Twilight. Wild looked nearly as shaken as Hyrule felt, if not more, but he merely leaned against Hyruleâs arm, Hyrule leaning on him in return.
Looking at how unsettled Wild appeared, Hyrule wasnât sure if heâd prefer having the ice he currently had, or the nothing Wild seemed to posses.
âCome on Twilight, you can stand,â Time said as he walked away, and Hyrule and Wild both watched him. Twilight was sitting up, but he still looked afraid to move, his face anxious. âYou can do it.â
âIâll just trip again! Why am I so fast all of a sudden? I donât want Wildâs speed, I can barely hear anything like this or smell anything and I canât turn into a wolf!â he said rapidly, and Time slowly helped him up.
âI believe our enemy decided to test something on us,â Time said, and Hyrule thought back to what the voice on the intercom had said. That would explain the test subject thing. âAnd if I'm right... somehow he switched around our powers.â
âBut thatâs not possible,â Wild spoke up as Time carefully guided Twilight over to them, âyou canât just... switch powers! Thatâd be like me and Hyrule randomly switching heads!â
âWell somehow heâs done it,â Twilight grimaced.
âAnd weâll probably have to stop him to get our proper powers back,â Time sighed, watching as his fingers disappeared from view again.
Hyrule looked around at his family, more then half of them missing from the room, Twilight pale with anxiety, Wild still unhappy about being slow, random bits of their father occasionally disappearing from view.
This... just got a lot more complicated.
Wild looked at Timeâs arms, watching as they randomly faded in and out of view, and a grin suddenly stretched across his face, wide and mischievous.
âDad, did you get both of Legendâs powers?â he asked, and Hyrule and Twilight both turned to look at him as well, Hyrule unable to stop his smile as he realized what he meant.
âI have no idea. And even if I did, Iâm not testing it right now,â he said dryly, and Wild and Hyrule both made disappointed noises. âSorry boys. We need to focus on fixing this mess.â
âHave you tried to contact anyone yet?â Twilight asked, and Time shook his head, pulling out his communication device.
âThatâs what I was on to next. I think itâs safe to say everyoneâs powers got messed up, so itâs unlikely Artemis is going to come find us.â
âUnless whoever got her powers does,â Wild pointed out, and Twilight shook his head.
âI doubt it. We can barely control the ones we got. I mean, if Iâd gotten intangibility, I donât think I would want to test it by trying to walk through a collapsed wall.â
Hyrule winced. That was a good point. It probably wouldnât end well if whoever got Artemisâs powers couldnât use them very well, and accidentally came back in the middle of the wall.
Time busied himself with trying to get his radio working, and Twilight did his best to help him, his leg jittering so rapidly it blurred a bit. Hyrule looked back at Wild, his brother looking miserable, then ignored the urge to shiver as he drew his knees up to his chest.
Why did Warriorsâ powers have to be so cold? He thought his uncle had said that the cold didnât even bother him, why was Hyrule so freezing?
Why couldn't they just be straight-forward like mine?
Hyrule sighed and glanced back at Wild again, frowning when he saw his expression had dimmed even further while he watched Twilightâs leg jitter rapidly in place.
âAre you alright Wild?â Hyrule asked, and Wild shrugged, making the face he made when he was trying to appear unbothered.
âYeah. Iâm fine. Youâre... kinda pale though,â he said, looking over Hyrule. "You okay?"
Hyrule shrugged, trying not to look as shaken as he still felt. He knew Wild probably just wanted to help, but he was pretty sure if he thought about his switched-up-also-missing powers too long heâd cry.
Wild somehow read his expression though, and after a moments hesitation, put his arm around Hyruleâs shoulder, giving him a little squeeze.
âItâll be okay,â Wild said. âWeâll figure it out, Roolie.â
And for some reason Hyrule believed him, the words like a warm blanket on his still-shaky nerves. He near-immediately relaxed, and Wild looked at him in surprise as he leaned on him more, before realization flirted across his face.
âOh. I got Momâs,â he said, and Hyrule looked at him weirdly.
âHuh?â
âI got Momâs powers. You know, she has her whole horse-soothing voice she uses, itâs really good at calming down horses and other animals. I... guess it also works on people?â Wild said hesitantly. âAt least I think thatâs what that was.â
Hyrule blinked, not sure how he felt about that. But for some reason the thought didnât seem too worrying, so he shrugged, and set his head on Wildâs shoulder. He was nice and warm, and helped chase away some of the chill.
âGuess so. Weâll have to find a horse so you can test it,â Hyrule murmured, and Wild let out a quiet laugh.
A sigh caught their attentions, and the two looked over at Time and Twilight, both of their face grim.
âNo luck,â Time said as he put his radio away with a frown. âIt's being blocked. Looks like weâre on our own for now.â
âWe should try and find the others then, right?â Twilight asked. âBecause not to underestimate us right now, but uh... I donât know if we can take on this scientist guy in the state weâre in.â
âI could,â Wild said with a bite to his voice. âIâm going to punch that jerk right in the mouth for taking my speed.â
âWe were all headed for the top floor when we were ambushed, weâll continue heading that way,â Time decided, rolling his shoulder. âThe others will doubtlessly be working their way that direction as well, so weâll try to meet up with them on the way. Are you all good to go?â he asked, looking at Twilight and Hyrule especially.
Hyrule nodded, and Twilight glared at his feet, then sighed.
âYeah. I can walk.â
âGood. Letâs get going then,â Time said with a nod.
And as he took a step forward, he was suddenly doused in shadows.
Everyone jumped, and Hyrule stared as the shadows grew smaller, condensing most intensely by the floor. He had a brief moment of panic before he recognized what the shadows meant, and he froze, exchanging quick glances with his siblings.
The shadows faded away mere moments later, and a small, one-eyed rabbit was left sitting dazedly on the ground.
Hyrule, Wild, and Twilight stared.
Then Wild fell to the floor laughing, and Hyrule bit his lip to stop his own from escaping, the rabbit that was now their father twitching his nose in alarm. He shouldnât laugh, he really shouldnât, but Time was so small, and fluffy, and seeing his father as a rabbit of all things was just...
Hyrule couldnât help his giggle, and Twilight knelt beside Time, their father swiveling his ears in his direction and giving him a wide-eyed look.
âAre you, um, okay Dad?â Twilight asked, his mouth twitching, and Time blinked once or twice, before letting out a rather squeaky sigh.
âIâm fine. Come on, the sooner we fix this the better,â he grumbled, voice slightly squeaky, and began hopping in the direction theyâd planned to go in.
Wild finally stopped laughing, though it was a close thing when he saw Time hopping determinedly across the floor. Twilight followed after their father, and Hyrule and Wild trailed behind, Wild still letting out an occasional giggle.
"I guess that answers the question of whether he has both of Legend's powers," he snickered, and Hyrule shook his head in disbelief. This day couldn't get any weirder.
Twilight lifted Time up to sit on his shoulder after only a minute or two of walking, their father's face surprisingly grim for a rabbit, and Hyrule glanced at them, anxiety still churning in his stomach.
He still felt a little shaky and unsure from the shock of his powers being gone, worried for the rest of their group, and Time being a mostly-defenseless rabbit only added another layer to that. But Wild seemed confident, and Twilight and Time were both putting on brave faces, so Hyrule decided he would be too.
They could do this. Theyâd stop the scientist guy, and make him fix this.
Screwed up powers or not.
And Hyrule kept telling himself that, even when Twilight lost control of his legs again and smacked into a wall mere moments later.

Fics I got percolating (as a preview for those maybe interested but mostly for my own sorting of thoughts)
Actively in progress:
the feel of coolness only water brings - MASH; traphawk; angsty magical realism fic involving selkie lore, finding closure, and lots of weather symbolism
soldier, poet, king (working title) - MASH; houlipiercintyre; canon-divergent high fantasy fic heavily inspired by the chronicles of narnia/dungeons & dragons/etc
how to trap a hawk (working title) - MASH; traphawk; angsty post-canon reconciliation fic with wintertime in crabapple cove, lots of rumination, and what it means to be mentally ill in mid-century America
Ideas that need to be put to paper:
A What Dreams May Come/orpheus tale inspired fic where Hawkeye is Eurydice and both BJ and Trapper are Orpheus
Sci-fi MASH AU where itâs kinda the same but in SPACE
Horror MASH fic of some kind - leaning toward a Malevolent-esque fic where Hawkeye becomes possessed by an entity that steals his sight and good hand, but he keeps the rest of his faculties and no one is (hopefully) the wiser
Time-travel!MASH mostly so I can explore their reaction to the fact the entire exercise in Korea really was pointless and nothing they did resulted in any lasting peace. But also need to see them interact with the Internet. So.
And in the same vein of self-indulgence: a Star Wars/MASH crossover of some kind
#thatâs it thatâs the post#hopefully some of this sounds interesting to some of you?#if not itâll be at least interesting to me#Iâll get around to writing all of it#eventually#mash#hawkeye pierce#trapper john mcintyre#margaret houlihan#mashposting#mash fic#piercintyre#bj hunnicutt#traphawk

Your post about falin manifested some Thoughts in me. Seeing how such a big part of her arc was becoming more independent and discovering what She wants to do, mixed with a lot of parts in the manga where she is much more comfortable looking masculine - embarrassed about how blushy she is but not really liking makeup, enjoying more masculine clothes, that one haircut swap where she seemed really happy in laios' cut, it made me realize there's totally some room for even some transmasc falin headcanons! Or at the very least, she's definitely GNC and it would be fun to see that explored in fanfic and fanart... anyway, your in depth analysis posts have really inspired me, got me itching to create some obscure dunmeshi fancontent or analysis now!
OmgâŚâŚ Iâve never fully thought about it but youâre so right transmasc Falin would go so hard⌠Thereâs also how she idolizes Laios a lot⌠Male older brother role model she puts on a pedestral, could play into her relationship with it. Because of the dragon I like to see her as intersex, including post-canon but beyond that I always saw her as being the more or less agender type that just goes with whatever she feels fits her better, the sort of cis by default for lack of caring about it all that much, not unlike how I consider Laios cis by default but if you dig deep enough thereâs otherkin stuff going on in there⌠Def agree with GNC Falin.
She and Toshiro have some interesting parallels, of being passive and suppressing themselves for the convenience of others, itâs a reason why seeing her being unabashedly entranced by a bug struck him so muchâ himself being a bug fan and polishing his demeanor to be perfectly respectable. Because of that and including specific details like getting told "boys donât cry" by Hien- Actually just let me link this excellent post about trans Toshiro. Transfem Toshiro is so compelling and I think pairing it with transmasc Falin would be very interesting⌠The gender envy of it all, the talks⌠Need them to go on a trip together post-canon so so bad, life changing self-discovery camping trip

Iâll be munching on this... I love it. Your reblog tags have been a delight, Iâm so happy I could inspire you in any way! So looking forward to what you might make in the future
#Dungeon meshi#falin touden#ask#Spoilers#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#I might write fic for transmasc falin eventuallyâŚ. Add it on top of the falin shuro brotp fic plans#T4t them would go so hard???#Oh i guess i should tag him now#toshiro nakamoto#falishuro. Faliro??#Shulin#Trans hc#Meta#Character analysis#I saw u liked some toshiro stuff so hopefully u enjoy the trans toshiro wisdom. Them having an intertwined arc would be delicious#I made a masterpost on him and his family btw if youâre interested i donât think uâve seen it yet. Lyril is working on like.#A toshiro manifesto thesis though so thatâll be even cooler#Googled cis by default and found the label cis-genderless. OhâŚâŚâŚ. HiâŚâŚ Suddenly feeling very seen#Btw. The invite you got from fuu-miku through dm is real lol if you were worried or smth

Whoâs ready for another six of crows fic idea even though I havenât written the first one yet?
Nearly 10 years after the events of Crooked Kingdom, 25-year-old Captain Inej Ghafa liberates Maya, a 16-year-old Fjerdan girl, from a pleasure house in Ketterdam. Maya is grateful to Inej, but sheâs also vengeful and wants to track down the man who led her to her position. She explains to Inej that she and her father fled to Kerch when they discovered she was Grisha, adding that they didnât go to Ravka for fear of prejudice against Fjerdans. But in Ketterdam, already struggling, they found themselves scammed out of their money and informed of massive debts they owed to a gang. With no other options, her father sold her in indenture to a council member and used the money to pay the debt, promising her that he would find a way to save enough money to pay out her contract as soon as he could. 2 months into her indenture, Maya received news of her fatherâs death after he was killed by the same gang leader who heâd originally been in debt to - apparently trying to steal the money he needed to free her. Mere weeks after this, the councilman who owned Mayaâs contract died. Her contract changed hands several times, until she eventually found herself trapped in a pleasure house. Maya wants to track down the gang leader and avenge her father. Although she intends to negotiate Maya away from killing him and encourage her to find a route to healing, Inej agrees to help her find her fatherâs murderer. She asks Maya is she knows anything about him that could help her to begin her search, and Maya replies that all she knows is his name: Kaz Brekker.
#actually quite excited by this idea#grishaverse#leigh bardugo#six of crows#crooked kingdom#inej ghafa#kaz brekker#kanej#soc fic#six of crows fic#the Helnik fic will still come eventually#hopefully#Iâm working on it but Iâm also busy#nina zenik#jesper fahey#wylan van eck#matthias helvar#kaz x inej#inej x kaz#fanfic

drawn in
the f1 mafia au that no one asked for and won't leave my brain at all. mainly charlos, but featuring most of the grid and ex drivers. i've been worldbuilding with @5ainz (bless for bearing with me) and in between drawings and character sheets, i ventured to write this tiny snippet to hype myself (and be less scared of writing). if you read this, thank you and enjoy! â¨
-
âYou shouldn't be here.â
Carlosâ eyes donât move from the painting. The Death of the Virgin, by Caravaggio. He smiles to himself, shaking his head. He wouldnât expect less from the Rosso Corsa, always proud and ready to show off their legacy. Come to think about it, everything in his life was linked to red somehow. And at the same time, inevitably, to the wounds it left.
âAre you going to kick me out, altezza reale? Like a bad behaved dog?â He does turn his head then. His tone is supposed to be mocking, but the moment brown eyes meet green, his resolution falters.
Charles Leclerc, composed as ever, stands on the door, as if he had just closed it. Carlos swears he hears the lock turn as well, but his mind is rather busy tracking every single hair out of place, from the top of his head to the strands scattering on his forehead. His gun feels heavy where it rests in its holster under his jacket.
âAnd arenât you the most loyal one? Fernando must be proud.â Charles leaves the door to stand next to Carlos, shoulders almost brushing but not close enough. Itâs their thing, throw knives and dodge, push and pull. The Inspectorâs little prince and the right hand of the Spanish Samurai.
The silence between them is not awkward, but it feels tense in the same way the air is charged right before a storm. They look at the painting, but the details they recollect are not the brushstrokes or perspective of the piece. Itâs the subtle hints of cologne coming off Charlesâ skin when he tilts his head, following the lines of the old wood on the frame instead of the ones of Carlosâ perfectly tailored suit. Itâs the flex on Carlosâ clenched fists as his mind repeats over and over how very not good it would be to reach and find out how Charlesâ hands feel with their fingers laced.
âDid you know,â Carlos says, his voice almost a whisper. âThis painting was rejected by the patron who commissioned it. No one had ever painted the actual death of the Virgin, it was a dogma, and Caravaggio depicted her as mortal: pale, bloated and devoid of spirit.â He sighs and looks sideways at Charles, from under his lashes. âIt is also said that Caravggio painted her after a prostitute, so maybe that was the real reason.â
Charles tries to school his features, to stop the smile from being evident, but those sweet dimples betray him. Time to stop pretending, it seems. âI didnât know you were interested in art.â He turns to face Carlos fully, carefully studying the strong features he usually only catches in glimpses. He is setting the ground for truce, building the bridge.
Carlos chuckles, and it sounds tired. âReally? Donât tell me Sebastian didnât include it in my file. He used to be more thorough with his research, he is starting to slip.â But he still faces Charles, willing to meet him halfway. âThere is a lot more that you couldnât possibly know.â
âWhat if I wanted to find out? What would it take?â Charles takes a step forward. Carlos lets him.
âStupidity. Recklessness. Naivety.â He counts with his fingers, brows furrowed but playful smirk. Charles canât really tell which one he actually means. âTrust.â
âThat sounds like a challenge, Sainz.â And Charles has never backed up from one. Today is not the day heâll start.
He extends his hand and, in seconds, a warm bigger one takes it in a firm but soft grip.
âItâs Carlos.â A smirk draws up the corners of his full lips. âYou are in for a ride, cariĂąo.â
#mm: writing adventures#mm: mafia au#charlos#1655#charlos au#f1 rpf#ficlet#i'm scared af to post this but oh well#i'm going to keep worldbuilding and drawing my babies in this#hopefully i will get the courage to write a full fic about it eventually#please be kind i'm actually terrified

Drunken Tears - Pt 4. (Copia x Reader, VIOLENCE but not towards reader!)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3! And on AO3 right here!
Secondo sat in the library, silently working on some restoration project he'd been assigned after a Sibling managed to spill ink all over a century-old bookâstupid child. His hands, especially his left, were stiff as they worked, wrapped loosely in a thin bandage. His knuckles were slightly raw, the middle one bloodied from the one-sided fight he'd had with his girl earlier.
She was good, thoughâloved him to a fault like a callow puppy. She wouldn't tell anyone. Still, the memory of the look on her face was indelible. She was pretty when she cried those opalescent tears. He knew he was a sick bastard for thinking so.
"Fratello."
He raised his head, glancing to his side before grunting and spinning in his office chair. "Copia," he greeted. Not a time for little brother, he could tell by the younger man's tone.
"What happened to your hand?" he asked, raising a brow in an almost rhetorical question. Not quite. He wanted to see the older man squirm at his words. Still, his equanimity was unshaken.
"Something sharp. Stupid accident," Secondo replied pointedly, a subtle jab that would've come across as nothing had he been speaking to anyone else. Copia had not received the blessing of unawareness that the Siblings possessed.
"You disgusting piece of- Come dorme la notte?" Secondo felt the floor tremble from the sheer force of Copia's footsteps as he surged toward the older man, hands balled in tight fists, only loosening to grab onto the shoulders of Secondo's shirt as he dragged him out of his chair, throwing him onto the floor. His movements didn't cease for a second as he approached again, falling to his knees inelegantly as he grabbed his collar, shaking him slightly. He was trembling, enraged at the thought that somebody could still be on their side when they were utterly wrong.
"Il Sonno?" Secondo questioned through gritted, almost smiling teeth. "Very well, actually, in my bed without the constant talking. If it didn't make me look like a cuck, I would have you take her to bed with you more often."
"For Satan's sake, Secondo, you know I didn't do that!" Copia said, his grip wavering momentarily at the accusation. He would've been okay with the idea of being with her, but it was her sake he worried over. He was a Papa. He wouldn't pay the price for rumors of infidelity. Only she would have to bear the burden, in her mind and on her body.
Secondo somehow had the nerve to grin at him. "It doesn't matter what you did," he replied. "She still feels guilty. She still feels violated."
Copia didn't know what came over him at that moment. Never had he been irascible, but the irrefragable disgustingness of his older brother's words made his anger deflagrate, turning from the crackling kindling of frustration to the all-consuming, all-damaging force of rage. Missing his better judgment, he pulled his fist back for momentum before it collided with Secondo's face.
The man's head reeled back, hitting the floor with a sickening cssh! More to stop himself from going further than to give any mercy, Copia stood, wiping his hand on his black slacks.
"Do you like how it feels?" he hissed. "To be held down and beaten? Doesn't feel pleasant, now does it?"
Secondo groaned, slowly pushing himself up into a sitting position. He wiped his nose haphazardly, feeling the building ache around his eyes. "I didn't beat her," he said, his words weak despite the equanimous quality his tone took. "I hit her. You're acting as if I murdered the girl."
Copia sighed shakily. "Somehow, I think she would've been less hurt if you did," he replied, concerned. He swallowed thickly, placing his hand on the table and squeezing in an attempt to calm himself and keep his hands busy, or at least away from an assault charge. His gaze hardened then, and he turned away. "I want you to stay away from her, Secondo."
Secondo scoffed. "She's my partner, and you're asking me to stay away from her?" It was a ridiculous, unreasonable request. "If you're looking to try and make her feel better, then I don't think that would be the way to go."
"I think being around you has hurt her enough," he replied, placing his hand against the heavy door. "I want her things out of your room. Tell her what you will. Preferably, write a letter." He heard the older man snort.
"Do you believe you intimidate me?" Secondo sneered. "You don't. I could pull the envelope opener out of the desk right now and kill you in cold blood. Right now? I wouldn't feel an ounce of guilt."
"And I could get you thrown out of this Ministry!" Copia shouted, turning around abruptly to face his older brother. "You forget your place. You weren't the first, you weren't the handsomest, you weren't the favorite! You're not even here by blood, and you don't have enough heart to love your way into Imperator's favor. You're lucky I don't tell Imperator what you did. She would look at you with the same amount of disgust she did Nihil. At least Nihil never hit her or anybody," he says, nails digging through his gloves and palms. Secondo had flaws, but it hurt to know that the man he once idolized was evil enough to do such a thing.
It took all of his willpower not to approach Secondo, not to kick him in the side and stomp in his chest until he felt half the pain Copia did when he saw tears in that angel's eyes. "It's not your childhood, Secondo. It's not the ricochet of our grandfather's neglect, and it's not our father that causes you to be this way," he says, clutching the brass handle of the door with a trembling hand. "It's the fact that if I were to cut your chest open right now, in place of your soul, there would only be rot."
And with that, he left.

Seven(ish) Sentence Sunday âď¸
Tagged by @tizniz (who posted 21K of fluffy dad!buddie goodness that you can read here). Thank you lovely đâ¤ď¸
Now that turns out freedom ainât nothing but missing you (aka the Eddie pulls away from Buck after the graveyard scene fic) is finished, I can dive back into Rival Firefighters and hopefully the Eddie breakdown fic (feel like I may be. bit stuck atm with that one).
Snuck in some tipity tap typing time this morning and was able to get a little bit more of Rival Firefighters đ written (not as much as I wouldâve liked but hey, itâs something đ¤ˇđťââď¸).
Prev snippet here, though todayâs snippet actually follows on a little bit after this one (yes Iâm aware Iâm posting snippets out of order but I write a little out of order soooooo)
Buckâs seen pictures of Shannon around the Diaz house but they really donât do her justice. Shannonâs hair is up in a high ponytail, her bangs accentuating the feminine softness of her face and when she turns to look at Buck and offers him a friendly smile like sheâs genuinely pleased to see him, Buck understands how Eddie was so easily drawn to her.
Sheâs beautiful.
The way her blue eyes light up when she smiles reminds Buck of sunlight dancing on water. Sparkling light reflection he thinks itâs called.
She extends a hand out to him. âIâm Eddieâs very platonic, ex wife, Shannon.â She says with a mischievous grin.
Eddie closes his eyes and brings a hand up to his face to pinch the bridge of his nose as he mutters in Spanish under his breath. âDios Mioâ.
A little confused at the way sheâd introduced herself, Buck accepts her offered hand. âUh, Iâm Buckâ
âOh I knowâ she says with a glint in her eyes. Buck tilts his head and raises an eyebrow in question. Shannon glances at Eddie who is pointedly not looking at her or Buck. âYouâve been a hot topic in the Diaz family ever since Eddie joined the 136.â
âOh have I?â Buck says with smug satisfaction as he turns his attention to Eddie who actually squirms at the attention.
âI had to biâ,â Eddieâs eyes quickly flick over to Chris, âcomplain to someone about the annoying probie I kept running into.â
âUh huh.â Buck couldn't keep the stupid smile off of his face even if he wanted to.

âStanley, not a man whoâs ever set foot in this cabin is innocent. Iâm a coward; Fordâs damn near a megalomaniac. You might be angry, but I got a feeling you deserve to be angry.â He gasped in a breath, resting his head in his hands again. âBut that damn portal... thatâs all me and Ford.â
 Wowzers--this is NOT an update to Moving Right Along! (Thatâs coming soon, I promise!!!)
If you like this one, let me know!!! I actually have about 12,000 words written for this that would just need cleaned up, but if thereâs not much interest, Iâll just leave this one as an angsty one-shot instead of cluttering up the GF tag. <3Â
