i asked a guy i've been interacting with on tumblr for like the last 8 months, if he wanted my number and boy do i regret it [but not for the reasons you may think]
so, as i mentioned we've been getting to know each other and messaging for like 8 months. i remember the first time he messaged me... it was completely random. he'd liked a couple of posts/reblogs and followed me before reaching out and sending a simple greeting. i was naturally very suspicious as it had been years since anyone had messaged me on tumblr and since it was so out of the blue, i was very cagey and cold. he persevered another 2 days before caging up himself when i asked for his name. then he dropped off for about a month. when he returned again, it was to apologise for clamming up. i told him not to worry as he was entitled to his privacy. and then he did something that really surprised me. he gave me his name and a little snippet of his story. he told me that he was feeling lonely and wanting to make friends and that he was going to try chatting to people on here again and sort of freaked out. i let him know that i understood, as i was also being cagey. once we both were on the same page, things were okay. we would checking in every now and then, ask basic getting to know you questions and chat about our day. i got more and more comfortable with the idea of him as a friend and opened myself up to him little by little. sometimes i would reach out to him and not receive a message back for months, bc he would take breaks from tumblr [i'm assuming for his mental health, which is understandable]. he would reply when he next came online and we would chat more. he ended up seeing what i looked like through my side blog and began complimenting me on my looks. occasionally, he would ask a sexual question and i would answer it as honestly as i could. [normally, i wouldn't tolerate that shit, but i was starting to like him.] his line of questioning got more personal as time went on and it felt like maybe we were connecting. so as the months progressed, naturally, i thought maybe i wasn't delusional and that he liked me for me [i sent him a full body pic and it was received relatively well, i think] so i thought that maybe he would be interested in continuing this outside of the confines of this website and decided to work up the courage to ask him if he wanted my number. this is where it goes wrong. he meets my question with a question and i start to think that this is already a bad start and maybe i misread the situation. am i wrong for thinking that a man who's called me pretty and cute and hot would want my number? am i? well apparently, because he never ended up saying yes. this felt as good as rejection and immediately the walls came up and i started being short with him. I even wrote "i'll take that as a no then" to which he replied some bullshit like "i twasn't a no at all" and all i could think was "yeah but it wasn't a yes either", which is as good as imo. he wanted an explanation for why i wanted this bc he always assumed he was bugging me [which btw is another thing i want to touch on. in the past, he has mentioned feeling like he bugs me quite often and i thought i'd been doing enough to let him know that that was simply not the case but ofc that was his reasoning this time too] and i explained that i liked talking to him and wanted to respect the time he takes off from tumblr bc ik it can be disruptive and it was met with an "im sorry if..." and that shit makes my blood boil so i havent responded back to him. it's been over 24 hours since he replied to me. i spent that afternoon absolutely bawling my eyes out. then i spent the evening upset too. i was having big feelings, for sure and couldn't deal with them. i feel maybe i was too harsh but he was too.
anyway, i've been listening to sad music and crying abt anything and everything lmao...

When they neglect you for another girl Part 4 (Sakusa)

Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five
Word Count: 2.6K
Genre: Angst to Fluff
masterlist
AN: YES I DID PUT MYSELF IN THIS STORY! SUE ME. This is basically inspired by a random conversation i had w the great @teesumu, so this is basically for you doll <3

Sakusa:
You and Sakusa have been together for a around 10 years and love eachother immensly. Â Â
However recently Sakusa has been busy and you havent really had much time together lately as he claims been busy doing loads of visits with his new agent.
But of course, being the loving partner you are you wanted to revive the spark in your relationship.
You have been seeing a lot of people on social media posting their aesthetic âpicnic dates,â and you knew that this was something that appealed to you before it was âon trend.â Kiyoomi immediately came to your mind once you had the idea of going on a date. You knew that you havenât be around each other lately, as Kiyoomi always had either a âmeetingâ or some sort of âinterviewâ that his new agent âEmpressâ has set up for him.
You didnât really know Empress that well, just that she was âgood at her job,â a âhard and dilligent worker,â and a âraging hottieâ with Atsumuâs opinion being the last one. You werenât suspecting her to have any malicious intent towards you or Kiyoomi, since you knew that he had a great judge of character. But it was just odd, that every time Kiyoomi was running late or having âsuper-secretâ conversations on the phone it was always because âmy agent set up this,â âmy agent set up that,â and thatâs what left you a bit wary.
As you were scrolling through your phone you see a calendar updating saying : Next Weekâ A DECADE AGO WE FELL IN LOVE.â Â
10 years. How could you forget? You and Omi have literally been together for a decade. You think back to the decade of madness and love youâve been through together, smiling fondly to yourself but then you think about where you are now... barely even talking to each other, only mainly seeing him when he comes home from work.
You need to fix this. Or at least make an attempt to get you and Kiyoomi talking again. So, the only thing you can do, is plan that picnic.
You spent the rest of the day planning your anniversary picnic. âItâs going to be great,â you think to yourself, you have a list of all Omiâs favorite foods you're going to make him and bring and you are probably going to pick up a few board games and maybe even get some paint supplies. You and Kiyoomi used to paint a lot together, with the two of you not being the best of painters, but you enjoyed eachothers company non the less. Â
Everything was sorted...for the most part. All you needed to do was get Omi there, and itâll all be okay. Right? As you were bubbling and looking for more picnic inspo, you hear your front door open which made you even more excited to tell your boyfriend your plans. Â
As you rush to go greet him, you see heâs on the phone making you roll your eyes. âNo Empress it wonât work, we need this sorted by next week. Okay? Next week.â he says in an agitated way. He hangs up the phone and sighs, shoving off his duffel bag.
âHey Omi, how was your day?â you say a bit hesitant, noticing his annoyed mood. Â
âFineâ He said dismissively, aiming to walk past you aiming for your bedroom.
âOh well I have something amazing planned for ne-â you try to say following after him.
âCan we not do this right now Y/N,â he says again turning too look at you making you frown a bit, all you wanted to do is surprise him with your plans and have a day out with him. After noticing your sad look he finishes with âitâs just that Empress sheâs bee-â
âI donât want to hear about her.â you say bitterly folding your arms, Empress is the last person you want to hear about right now âGod Omi canât you just care about me? For once.â
âI do I-â
âYou donât anymore,â you say, with all the emotions and feelings youâve been just supressing from a while coming up. You donât even know how you got from point A to B with this conversation, but there's no stopping now. âI feel that, for a while now we havenât been how we were before when we were just Y/N and Kiyoomi. Instead of how we are now. Just Y/N. Then Kiyoomi and Empress.â
After hearing his agents name, Kiyoomiâs name contorts to confusion âEmpress? What does she have to do with anything?â
âHow can you not see? For the past month all itâs been is âEmpress thisâ âEmpress that,ââ you complain âHaving your super secret conversations with her, like god Kiyoomi canât you see a problem with this?â Â
âItâs not like that Y/N, weâre just work partnersâ he says looking a bit annoyed âJust business.â
 âJust business? So Kiyoomi, what were you talking about on the phone earlierâ you say with your voice slight accusingly.
âUmm I, I canât really say?â he says more of a question then a fully assured statement. You squint your eyes at him and scoff.
âWhat is going on with you Omi?â you say âare you cheating on me with her is that it?â
âNo, no of course not Y/N! How could you even ask that?â he frowned at your question making your chest hurt, since deep down you knew he could never do that to you. Could he?
âWell tell me then, what were you talking about?â you ask again.
âI canât say..â he finishes Â
âWell I canât stay.â you say and his face goes back to confusion âHere. With you.â
âWhat do you mean Y/-â
âI need a break or something. I just canât be here right now.â You start to rush and pack a big of things whilst Kiyoomi just stands there.
After you pack up your stuff, you look back and see Kiyoomi just there. Standing. You were upset, you kind of wanted him to rush after you and beg you not to leave, but he was just there. Standing. So you put the hand on the door and just before you leave you turn back and say âbye Sakusa, see you later?â to which you see him slightly nod at.
When the door shut, Kiyoomi starts to cry. After hearing you call him by his last name really twisted the knife that was already in his heart. You havenât called him that since you were like 15. He knew what you wanted; he knew you wanted him to rush towards you and beg you not to leave, but he didnât. He couldnât. But what he could do is call the one person he only could call.
After a few rings, he hears âWhat do you need Saku?â Â
âSheâs gone, she left.â
âWhat do you mean sheâs gone, did you tell her?â Â
âNo I didnât tell her. And thatâs the problem, Empress she think-â
âSaku, donât worry about it. Iâll handle it.â
âYouâll handle it?â
âDonât I always?â
He couldnât argue with that, he just had to trust that Empress could sort it. âAnd also, donât spend the week with your head up your ass crying, youâve got a lot of grovelling to do kiddo.â
He nodded even though she couldnât see him, as he knew that what just went down needed to be resolved, fast.
Meanwhile, on your end. Youâre a mess. Sobbing all the time, tissues are your best friend, youâve been waiting just waiting for a message or a call, or some form of communication. You just wanted to feel wanted by your boyfriend (can you even call him that now.) Â
You spent the rest of the week at your parents, immersing yourself in your work and doing âself careâ things, trying to forget all about the argument you and Kiyoomi had. Â
One day, you receive a letter, it wasnât delivered by a mail man though. It was slid under your door, in a golden envelope sealed with a red hot wax seal. It read:
âDear Y/N,
My sweetheart, im sorry for how the week has been and I know a letter with only a fraction of how I feel wonât make up for how I acted that day. But im inviting you to join me at the Gardenia Botanical Gardens at 2 pm tommorow, to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Â
I know there is a big chance, you may not want to see me and I understand but please. I love you, so so much, that words canât even describe. But I need you to see me apologise and I need to make it up to you. Â
I hope to see you there, Iâd wait the whole day for you. If you donât show, I understand.
Sincerely, Sakusa Kiyoomi
P.S The theme is âsummer hot day, tea with the queenâ - Atsumuâ
You smile at the letter, but wonder if you should actually go or not. You did want to see him of course and get this all resolved, but you had your own plans for your anniversary which wouldnât of been spoiled if he didnât withhold his super-secret phone calls.
It took you hours to contemplate on what to do, but you decided to just sleep on it and see how you feel tomorrow. In the morning, you knew what you wanted to do. Of course, you had to go, at least to hear him out and see if he really did cheat on you or not. For all you know heâs inviting you to tell you that heâs going to run away with his agent and his secret kids they had together. You shook the negative thoughts from your head and just repeated your mantra âhope for the best and prepare for the worst.â
When you got there, you didnât exactly know where he would be but he said âbotanical gardensâ so of course you decided to just wander around there. It was nice walking around and just smelling the roses, and seeing the pretty scenery. Â
âExcuse me maâam,â you hear someone say tugging on your leg âum that mister over there told me to give you these.â Looking down, you see a small boy who looked about the age of four with a crumpled up bunch of roses handing them to you.
âOh thank you,â you say giving the kid a head pat âwhere is this âmisterâ might I ask?â
âHeâs over there!â The kid pointed behind him and you look to see Kiyoomi sitting under a white gazebo which is surrounded in your favorite flowers and the table is filled with food.
You walk over to your âboyfriend,â with him not noticing your present yet. When you reach him you say âI think she stood you up buddy,â you joke making him jump abit startled.
âY/N!â he exclaimed, instantly beaming âYou came you made it!â he stood up and pulled you into a hug, which you return before you remember why you came here in the first place.
âOh I-â he says awkwardly
You decide to sit down pulling him down with you. You kind of sit there in uncomfortable silence, for a while until you both say.
âSo I-â
âWhat are yo-â
You both laughed at your simultaneous comments, before Kiyoomi looks at you letting you speak. âWhat did you want to bring me here for?â
âI didnât want, what happened last week to happen Y/N I-â he says looking a bit panicked âIt wasnât supposed to go this way.â
âThen how was it meant to go Sakusa.â
âY/N, please donât call me that, I know I made you upset but pleas-â he starts before getting distracted again âY/N, I called you here to say a few things..â
âThem being.?â you ask a bit impatiently.
âI love you. I love you so much, you donât even understand. Ever since I saw you at my volleyball game in our first year, in the stands just cheering us on. I knew that from that day, after I scored the winning point and our eyes met, that we were destined to be together. I just love you so much Y/Nâ
âOmi I donât understand I-â
âJust let me finish please, Itâs taken a while for me to say this. And trust me, thereâs been so many times when I wanted to just say âhey Y/N letâs get married,â but I couldnât I was scared, and I wanted it to be perfect, so perfect. Because you deserve the world Y/N. Thatâs why I got Empress to help, I know that our conversations may seem odd, but I love you and she knows that she just wanted to help trust me. And she did, all this wouldnât of been done if it wasnât for her. But anyways Y/N what I waned to say was I love you and I love you and I-â he rambles on loosing track of his words. Â
But in the midst of his speech, you hear all that you needed and responded with the only way you can.
âYes.â you say simply, with a growing smile on your face.
âYes?â he repeats confused âWhat do you meann ye- ohhh" Kiyoomi blushes embarrased that after all that he ended up ruining the thought out proposal he wanted to give you with his ramble.
âIm sorry Y/N, I didnât mean to say it like that I wanted it to be perfect and I-â
You shut him up with a kiss making his eyes widen as he reciprocates it anyways. Â
âWhat did she say?â you hear someone shout from a far, and you look over to see the MSBY Jackals all standing there with shit eating grins on their faces.
âI said yes!â you yell back, to which they all cheer and rush towards you guys giving you both hugs and slapping Kiyoomi on the back. Â
As the boys celebrate Omi finnally do what heâs been planning for ages, you get approached by Empress who awkwardly walks up to you. â I didnât want to leave the impression that me and Saku were any sort of thing?â she says
âYeah I think it was definitely a big misunderstanding, itâs just that Omi was never around and whenever he was he was just talking to you and you know how it is.â
âI definitely know, Iâd feel the same way if my boyfriend did that to me.â
âOooh boyfriend?â you ask her feeling nosey on her romantic life. Â
âYeah boyfriend. You know iwaizumi hajime... the trainer?â she says smiling a bit when she said his name.
âThe trainer! Nice.â
The rest of the night was fun and was basically an engagement party for you and Omi all you and friends just partying and celebrating yours and Omiâs love for each other. âOmiâ you say getting his attention âHappy ten year anniversary babeâ
âHappy anniversary, I canât wait to spend the rest of my life with you.â
After the party you spend your months now planning for a big fat wedding, with the help of your new found bestie, Empress (who you obviously misjudged from the start.) You and Omi could never be happier, every thing was back to how it was before, maybe even better. And you definitely spent at least two Saturdays a month going out for picnics and it was now a tradition in your relationship, so in the end you did get your âaesthetic picnic date.â
AN: WHAT DID U GUYS THINK??

pegoryu (pre-established) post-interrogation hurt/comfort fic. has mentions of nightmares, trauma, and implied physical assault. unedited and for that i big apologise in advance
___________
okay!!! so this fic has been sitting in my drafts for months (lol what else is knew i know, shush iâm getting to the point) and i was supposed to post it on ao3 at the same time as i did a couple of others, however never got around to it bc it needed editing and im too lazy for that
likelihood is, i will edit and post to ao3 at some point, but it needs some BIG rennovations and i just canât be arsed atm
so yeah, apologies for the shoddy writing in advance xoxo
but for now, i wanted to post it on here. today. as a sign of goodwill for the year to come. (ie. i own p5r, still havent played it, need to play it, and hope posting this will kick me into gear)
so, hope you enjoy!! and lmao if not itâll just get buried as i start to revive this blog so,...win win?
In the first few nights since the interrogation, Ryuji stayed awake, listening to the fragile shudders of Akiraâs breath in the night. So sensitive to every breath of air restricted by broken ribs, Ryuji hadnât needed to look across the room, to gaze at the beaten figure on the bed, to know how his face was contorted in pain- unmasked in sleep.
He refused to so much as close his eyes until Akiraâs breathing levelled out, still shuddering and restricted by pain, but deep enough to assure him that Akira was asleep. Only then, Ryuji allowed himself to rest.
Nobody else stayed the night. They lingered until the last train, crowded around the attic bedroom, gaze worriedly resting on Akira until the final second, where theyâd leave with the accompanying chime of Leblancâs door closing. But not Ryuji.
Ryuji, who had refused to leave Akiraâs side since the moment heâd returned to their arms, beaten and drugged up, hardly coherent, but so relievingly and perfectly alive.
Akira hadnât been alone since, Ryuji ensured that much. Torn over so much as going across the road for a bath, he couldnât leave the other boy alone- something pulled at him to never let that happen, a pit of fear in the bottom of his stomach that pulled at his every nerve.
Maybe it had something to do with the nightmares, the visions of Akira lying broken on cold tile, at the mercilessly unrelenting hands of the police, the images of Akira lying dead, blood pooling from his head, the way the images seemed to haunt him even when awake- but there was no point reading into it. It wasnât important, especially not now.
What mattered was that when he woke up, breath haggard and skin shining with sweat under the light of outdoor streetlamps, Akira never woke. Wasnât even perturbed.Â
Ryuji tried to be thankful for it, tried not to think about why Akira was suddenly such a deep sleeper. Ignored the puncture wounds on his neck, the bottle of painkillers by his bedside. Akira was resting, and that was enough.
Even if it didnât make sense that, when morning rose, the dark circles under Akiraâs eyes had grown. That he tried to muffle pained yawns behind bandaged hands, and begged for more coffee- even though Takemi had put him on a temporary ban.
Because Ryuji had seen him sleeping, watched the rise and fall of his chest as Ryuji reminded himself that Akira was alive and safe, it was the sight that lulled him back to sleep from a nightmare. So why did Akira always look so tired?
He tried not to let his growing concern show, there was already so much to be worried about, he didnât want to add another. Especially not when it could be nothing but his own annoying thoughts.
It wasnât until the next night, after a particularly painful and thorough visit from Takemi earlier that day, that Ryuji started to reconsider.
Blearily opening his eyes to the dark lighting of the attic, Ryuji didnât need a clock to know it was well into the middle of the night, and that heâd been woken up from his sleep, again.
But it was weird. There was none of the usual constricting fear, the blind panic- heâd hardly even started seeing the figure of a beaten Akira surrounded by shadow, let alone begun imagining the worst.Â
About to blame it on the lumpy and painful springs of the couch and try to fall back asleep, Ryuji caught it. Quiet, as if muffled by something, but just loud enough to penetrate through the silence in the attic and reach Ryuji: crying.
No. Not crying.
Sobbing.
Ice burning in his stomach, he carefully lifted the blanket and rose, wary of creaking springs and the sound of rustling fabric, towards the shaking figure on the bed.
His voice was barely above a whisper, carrying clearly and softly through the silence as he carefully extended an arm, not touching, only hovering, âAkira?â
The responding flinch broke Ryujiâs heart all the more, as a head rose from under the covers, bloodshot eyes wide and darting around the room in panic, hair wildly askew.Â
Moving as slowly as he dared, Ryuji sat at the side of the bed, âHey, itâs okay, itâs only me.â
As the mattress shifted under him, Akira froze. Muscles tight and unyielding, back as ramrod straight as his broken ribs would allow, the entire body braced for something Ryuji didnât even want to think about. His gaze was distant, somewhere far away from Leblanc, from the blond sat right beside him.
It reminded Ryuji of his Ma, in the months after the divorce. Curled up together on the dingy bed, theyâd cling to each other so tight even in sleep, waking up in the morning sweaty and sometimes a little uncomfortable, never minding because they woke feeling completely safe. But there were the nights when his Maâs screams would wake him in the early hours, recoiling and shaking even in her sleep. Ryuji would sit upright and watch over her until sunrise, would try to pull her from the memories he knew haunted her. Haunted them both.
Looking at Akira, the striking familiarity of the situation made him want to hurl.
He didnât move, no matter how strong the urge was to reach out and console his hurting best friend. Instead, he kept his voice quiet, just audible above the laboured sobs, and waited.
âYouâre okay, Akira. Youâre safe, Iâm not goinâ anywhere, alright? Youâve got me, itâs okay-â
Slowly, the frantic scanning of the room stopped. Staring at the artificial yellow light that bathed Leblancâs street, following it into the shadows of the attic, where dark figures seemed to fade away. The flash of blond in his vision, perfectly still, aside from the hushed mutterings leaving chapped lips.
Akira focused on that sound. It felt safe.
As Ryuji uttered soft words of reassurance, he watched the tension slowly leave Akiraâs body. Shoulders slightly slouched, jaw unclenched, his lip was bleeding- but he could worry about that later. All that mattered was the softening of Akiraâs lines, as he slowly came back to Ryuji.
Delicately as he dared, he reached out. Hand brushing against bruised skin, careful not to as much as press on the marred areas. For a moment, there was no response. He waited, watching the panic continue to leave until, slightly trembling, Akiraâs hand interlaced with his own.
âRyuji?â The hazed look in his eyes was clearing, staring at Ryuji with a newly discovered relief, which was quickly overtaken by shame, âShit- Iâm so sorry, I didnât mean to wake you up, just go back to sleep Iâm fine-â
âHey no, no man itâs okay, really-â Feeling Akira begin to pull away, Ryuji let his thumb run over the back of his hand, determinedly meeting Akiraâs gaze, âI donât mind.â
Akira opened his mouth, ready to retort and insist, but found himself silenced by the look in the other boyâs eyes. Ryujiâs hand was warm, and for a moment Akira forgot there were even any injuries there at all, thumb tracing over them with such a delicate touch he hadnât known the blond to have possessed.
Staring into Ryujiâs eyes, he wondered at how they were always so open and unguarded, never with anything to hide- a true reflection of his best friend, passionate and honest to a fault. It was something Akira had often envied, that ability to always be his true self, to freely display his emotions.Â
He almost took that back now, staring back into deep brown eyes. Eyes which so clearly reflected hurt and worry.
The raw concern so honestly displayed to him that, just in this moment, Akira decided he would allow himself to be vulnerable. Just this one time. Knowing that, as they had done for each other so many times before, Ryuji would never judge.
Hesitantly, Akira pulled his hand out of Ryujiâs and, ignoring the concerned look he got in return, allowed his hand to trace higher, around his forearm, pulling him closer with a silent plea.
As always, Ryuji understood.
Carefully reaching out, Ryuji wrapped his arms around Akira, pulling him to his chest. His touch is firm, but cautious of the bruising and bandages decorating Akiraâs abdomen. Even then, careful as he was, the occasional shift sent twinges of pain up Akiraâs spine. And yet, he found he didnât mind- not when he was so surrounded by warmth and comfort and the steady beat of Ryujiâs heart just audible through his chest, that for a minute Akira feels like he can just forget-
Somehow, Ryuji shifts so theyâre leaning against the back wall, Akiraâs head resting high on Ryujiâs chest, ear pressed to his left side. Logically, Ryuji supposed now would be a good time to ask about what just happened, about the dark circles under Akiraâs eyes and the fear still lingering when he caught sight of shadows in the room- but there would be other opportunities. When Akira wasnât so damn exhausted and clinging to Ryuji like heâs the final lifeline holding Akira together. When neither of them would be waking up in the middle of the night, a frenzied mess, and worrying about suspicious strangers in public and carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders.
Yeah, there would be other times to talk. But for now, Ryuji would stay with Akira and listen as his breathing mellowed out into deep breaths, as his grip on the blond weakened and he cuddled closer still, lost to the throes of sleep.
Ryuji will stay with him until the sun rises.
Neither of them were plagued by nightmares for the rest of the night.

I need to know about doctor mama lo taking care of a sick baby Virgil if you would like pretty please. I dont wanna ask on the in character blog cuz I feel like it would be weird to ask for details and lo seems kinda busy anyway lol.
hey tumblebee!! yeah yeah lets do this, Im gonna write it so that ppl who dont follow the other blog can understand too
WARNING IF U HAVENT ALREADY BLOCKED THE TAGS ILLNESS TW AND VOMIT TW THEY ARE VERY PREVALENT IN THIS
also this is a VERY long headcanon!!
so last night vee got ill, he had been regressed in the afternoon with patton and he was acting much more fussy than usual - not being entertained by his cartoons, not having the energy to play with his rattle, pretty much constantly whining and pouting and he gets very wriggly when he's fussy
patton assumed it was because vee had been upset earlier that day. at one point vee started gripping his stomach, and patton assumed its because he was hungry and could smell the food roman was cooking
but when dinner came around no matter how hard patton tried he couldnt get vee to eat a morsel - he kept turning his head away from the food and whining. at one point patton and logan both managed to convince him to eat a spoonful but his face crumpled with a wince and it looked almost painful for him to swallow it. it was at this point logan noticed he had a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead
things fell into place quickly after that - logan checked his temperature and it was indeed slightly higher than was healthy, they noticed vee's hands were trembling and he was constantly on the verge of tears :(
while patton cleared away dinner and excused roman who wanted to go and craft in his room, logan took vee to his bedroom and tried to check for more symptoms, since vee was non verbal and unresponsive totheir questions. he tested his tummy by pushing it a little to see if the pain got worse when he released it (this is a test for appendicitis) but there was no reaction thankfully except vee being upset by logan not cuddling him. he checked his throat for any redness or infection, nothing.
vee's crying became more pronounced and eventually he was in constant tears, occassionally pleading 'mama mama' through sniffles and hiccups and whines of pain :(( Patton brought him a baby bottle of cooled tea made with fresh mint leaves since that is supposed to help stomach pains. though he left the room again since logan thought it was best not to crowd virgil. Vee's crying had dissipated but he was strangely silent and seemed almost loopy now. he only drank a little of the tea before he pushed it away with a gag.
logan immediately took him to the bathroom knowing what was coming, and sure enough vee threw up into the toilet, crying between gags. logan dutifully managed to keep vee in his lap the whole time and held his hair and rubbed his back, telling him he was such a good boy the whole time
Thankfully it didnt last long as there wasnt much in vees stomach to be emptied. he was shivering and sweating and flushed and had lost all energy. he wasnt even crying anymore, just whimpering under his breath. with a bit of a struggle logan managed to show him how to rinse his mouth out with mouthwash - though he had to hold vee over the sink and pat his back to make sure he didnt swallow it
during all of this patton wasnt able to help because of his heightened empathy, if he sees someone throwing up the likeihood is he will too and that wiuldnt be very helpful! so instead he drives to the store to pick up some medicine and ice pops - and comes back with half the store including some actual baby medicine smh - ((im actually begging u to read that linked post i think its so funny))
it was originallly meant to be logans night to put roman to bed but understandably patton took on that task instead. after roman was drifting off patton pokes his head into vee's room. he had hoped to find lo and vee asleep but they werent. they were lying in the dark with an in the night garden audio story playing on a portable speaker and with vees salt lamp and star night light lighting up the room in a soft glow.
logan offered a strained little smile and nod to patton as he stroked vee's hair and cuddled him close. vee was completely out of it honestly. his body was wholly lax against his mama, his lips were in a permanent pout and his eyes were puffy and wet. he barely even acknowledged his papa coming in, his teary eyes just settled on him for a moment then dropped back to the bedsheets without a reaction. he kept lifting his thumb up to suck on it but logan kept capturing it and apologising as he brought it away. Vee shouldnt suck on his thumb and logan doesnt want to give him a paci while he's ill. understandably, baby vee was completely miserable.
patton asks if logan thinks vee could handle a popsicle or plain crackers at the moment but logan disagrees. he doesnt expect either of them to get much sleep so he will make sure vee eats something in a few hours. with a gentle kiss on vee's forehead patton goes off to bed, confident that logan will be able to look after vee and will come get him if theres any issues
logan and vee really dont sleep much at all. Vee drifts off for a few minutes at a time then gasps awake from vivid fever dreams. logan keeps ice cubes in a bowl by the bed for vee to suck on if he needs to cool down and wraps a couple in a flannel to press to vee's head when his fever rises in the middle of the night.
around 3am logan jolts awake and realises he had drifted off. and vee isnt anywhere in the room. he panics momentarily, bolting up from the bed and dashing to the closet to see if virgil is in there - which he tends to do when he is overwhelmed - but then he hears sniffling from the bathroom.
he finds vee, no longer regressed, curled up against the side of the bathtub with his bangs clinging to his sweaty head. vee is the palest person logan knows but he looks positively grey at the moment
'can i help in any way?' he asks, aware that he doesnt need to baby talk at the moment but still eager to look after this bundle of miserableness
virgil just groans under his breath and clutches his knees to his chest. 'i.. i didnt know what to do with the..' he gestures vaguely to something on the floor
logan notices virgil, being not regressed anymore, had obviously wrestled off the diaper he had been changed into the night before and not known how to dispose of it
'its ok, ive got it' logan wraps it up in a bag and puts it in the trash can they have in the room for just this purpose
'sorry.. m stupid' virgil croaks
'You're not stupid.' logan says firmly as he washes his hands 'You're ill and probably delirious from the fever. it's alright virgil'
theres quiet for a bit longer, virge's head pressed against the porcelain edge of the bathtub likely in an attempt to cool his fever. logan stays there with him for a while just waiting. then suddenly virgil starts sobbing and buries his face in his hands.
'sweetheart, tell me whats wrong please' logan hurries to kneel beside him, lifting his hands away from his face. that wouldnt help the fever
'i dont feel well' virgil cries pathetically, tears rolling down his face.
logans heart breaks 'no, you dont. i'm sorry little one, i know its not nice'
at the nickname virgils thumb raises to his lips again, which logan hurriedly intercepts. 'i'll make you a deal, okay? you're allowed to use a pacifier, but you have to use the same one everyday until you are better. we will need to sterilise it every night too.'
vee sniffles and nods, then chokes 'm not a baby right now though'
'that doesnt matter. you dont need to be regressed to want one of your pacis, vee'
vee is unresponsive and starts scratching at his pyjama pants. logan gets a feeling he isnt saying something. then he notices virgil's pout is much more infantile than his adult ones. 'are you feeling little, baby?'
with a harsh shake of his head vee starts crying again. he whispers 'dont wanna be a b...' then cuts himself off and whimpers
logan cards his fingers through virgils damp bangs. he knows what virgils mind has jumped to. 'were you going to say you dont want to be a baby?' he lifts virgils chin up to look at him 'or that you dont want to be a burden?'
virgils pale lip wobbles 'same fing'
'no sweetheart, no no no,' logan sits on the tiles beside vee and pulls him into his lap. virgil goes willingly. logan rocks his baby as he says 'youre always always allowed to be a baby and its never ever going to upset your family. even if you're an adorable wonderful brave baby boy alllll of the time' he scribbles his finger on virgils rosy cheek and delights at the tiny smile it earns him. 'but especially when you're feeling yucky. you feel a bit yucky today dont you, little one?'
vee nods with a pout
'but yknow whats not yucky? softies and pacis and diapers and lots and lots of cuddles with mama' he holds virgil tighter to prove his point. vee sighs and drops his head to nuzzle against his mama's neck. logan feels he still has a slight fever. 'i know what might help you feel less yucky. does my sweet baby want a sweet ice pop?'
thankfully vee nods against his shoulder and grips tight onto his pyjama shirt, preparing for when logan lifts him up
he first makes sure to change vee into another diaper and even decides that he should wear one of mama's t-shirts as a light dress so he doesnt get as overheated by his pyjamas. at this point vee actually giggles for the first time pretty much all day as he feels the tshirt swish lazily around his legs. logan makes a mental note to observe whether little vee might want to try wearing dresses if the feeling sparks this much joy (at this point logan is unaware that vee has secretly been trying skirts and dresses in his room for months, and roman found out a few weeks ago, but vee isnt ready to tell the cgs yet)
by the time vee is in his diaper and mamas tshirt dress and has a paci and jiji clutched to his chest he is a lot calmer and happier. he's still very ill and exhausted and teary, but theres a tiny smile on his face instead of a pout. in the kitchen he picks a strawberry ice pop and it goes down well, logan convinces him to have a cracker too though vee is in such a young headspace by then that he is just sucking on it, which logan supposes is fine too
by the (real) morning vee is still regressed and has managed to have a couple hours undisturbed sleep. its not much but its better than nothing. logan didnt fare much better. by then vee misses his papa and asks for him and logan hands the responsibility over to papa patton, trustinf the other caregiver enough to catch up on a quick power nap himself
but yes, the main thing is vee thought being ill was a burden enough that he shouldnt be regressed too, but logan makes him see that its okay. vee is regressed pretty much the whole time he is ill over the next few days because its stressful and painful and its a lot easier to feel comforted when ur a baby
yeah! gosh that was long, theres probably a billion spelling mistakes! feel free to ask follow up Qs if i missed anything u wanted to know abt this event

Soulmate Chasers | Jeno
genre: soulmate!au
warnings: lots of swearing
word count: 1.5k
song: Young In Love by Chungha
It wasnt fair, it wasnt fair at all.How are you supposed to go out and live like a normal person when you had â fuck youâ permanently marked on your skin as a soulmark.
What a bastard your soulmate has to be to leave you in a state like this? Your whole life has been filled with people making fun of you and your anxiety was getting bigger with the years which didnt help you either. You tried thousands make up products that could at least make the black mark on your arm less visible but nothing ever worked. You just wanted to find the jerk and blame him for all of your suffering through the years. Your parents werent really pleased when they saw their newborn baby with such a words on your small arm and the thought that your soulmate is gonna curse at you wasnt really fascinating either.
But finding your soulmate wasnt an easy task.You lived in a big city and there were so much people, who knows who of them is the one you were looking for. You often thought what he looked like.Is he tall or short? What colour his hair is? And the most important - what is his personality like? Is he mean? Or is he way too kind?
Questions like this often leave you sleepless and lately you it was getting worse. You were drawing faces of different boys you either have met or you have imagined. Your favourite one was a boy with black hair and deep brown eyes and slim,handsome face. Has he ever thought about you? Was he wondering what his soulmate is like? Was he somehow trying to find you? Your head started to ache of all this overthinking and you finally decide to go to sleep.
âEarth to y/n!!â your friend claped with her hands in front of your face to get you out of the deep thoughts you were dived in.âAre you thinking about him...againâ she said with a sarcastic tone and a little pause.
âNo, I am notâ you answered taking a sip from the hot chocolate which had started to cool down.
âYes,you are. I can see it in your eyes,y/n. I know you too wellâ she was and you didnt know if it was bad or good.
âAnd what if i am thinking about him?â
â I think you worry too much, Fateâs gonna do her job,right? She put these words on us and all we have to do is waitâ this didnt help you much but at least it stopped your thoughts going wild.
âWhat about you? Have you met somebody?â
Your friend had âyou smell niceâ on the inside part of her palm and you thought it was cute but she absolutely hated it.
âNo, I havent met somebody who appreciates my perfume the way it deservesto beâ she winked at you and you laughed.
After you parted with your bestfriend you took your phone and started searching information concerning your essay about âWuthering Heightsâ. You were pretty good at writting essays actually, once you were so into writing one essay that you didnt realize that you have written in all caps-lock but in the end your teacher said he was very proud of you and he posted the essay on the offcial school site. Not to lie you were proud of yourself too.
But right now you had to be careful because walking and having your gaze into the phone wasnât the best idea ever but you did not see something stopping you from doing it.Yeah until you bumped really hard into someone.
ââFuck youâ
âOh my God, im so sorry I didnât see you i..-wait what?ââ you looked up shooked , meeting the cold gaze of the young man in front of you. âexcuse me,what did you just say?â
ââI said fuck youââ he said anger mixing with impatience in his eyes.
Well he wasnât the only one who was angry in that moment.You made your hands into fists,trying to calm down.
âOh! So you are the motherfucker who gave me the worst fucking soulmark ever! Well  guess what, I WILL NEVER LET THIS GO, THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN HAVING ââFUCK YOUââ PERMANENTLY  MARKED ON YOU SKINââ you roared in his face although he was towering over you. The sudden change in his face told you that youâve caught him not ready for a situation like that. He breathed deeply and then he looked at you with stern eyes.
ââWell, imagine having that fucking essay written on ALL CAPS-LOCKâŚââ he rolled up his right sleeve and you saw your very own essay written in all caps-lock and it was your turn to make you speechless.
The next minute was spent on heavy sighs and guilty looks. You really didnât expected meeting with your soulmate to be âŚlike this. Suddenly all of the anger left you as you werenât even  there like thirty seconds ago. Instead a wave of warm emotions hit you and you realize that the person in front of is your soulmate, the one who you are supposed to spend your whole life with.Eventually you look up and see that he was already looking at you.As you examine his face you see that there were no signs of the previous anger on his face either. He was handsome but like really handsome. And he reminded you of one of your drawings- your favourite one. You slightly smiled on yourself and now that you have checked him out really well  you wanted to thank the Fate choosing you such a handsome soulmate. Your desire to get to know him better was growing with every single second.
ââSo I guess we are soulmatesâ you whispered enough only for him to hear. The small smile on his face made you blush a little, just a little.
ââYeah, soulmates.ââ He dived in your eyes,pausing for a second.ââSorry for snapping  at you like this I have been kinda stressed out recently.ââ
ââNo need to apologise I literally shouted at you as if we are the only people hereââ your smile refused  to leave you and even got wider when he chuckled to himself.
ââSorry  but I didnât catch your nameâ you knew he had the habit of looking deeply into your eyes when he did for a second time as he was asking you.
ââ Y/n, my name is Y/nââ you said giving out your right hand for a shake ââAnd you?â
ââJeno,my name is Jenoââ he smiled wildly shaking your hand.
You felt a strong electricity coming from your hand and reaching every single organ in your body especially your heart that started beating like crazy that was the last time you needed â you already knew Jeno was the only one. You have liked other boys before and even you had a boyfriend although it was for a short amount of time. But nobody felt like Jeno, you always felt guilty when you liked someone because you felt that you are kinda cheating on your soulmate who was somewhere but only one single touch of Jeno was enough for you to know that you didnât need anybody else.
You talked with Jeno for a bit and eventually both of you decided to go for a walk to get to know each other and your essay was long-forgotten and instead the bright person in front of you was what attention was focused on. You both found your similarities and differences and when he invited you to sit down to a random bench with him he aked you something you didnât expect to be asked so soon.
ââY/n do you think you will be able to love me?ââ his mint breath sank into your neck and as you got goosebumps the shivers that you felt down your spine werenât late either.
Can you love Jeno? You werenât sure you could answer in that right moment but then you thought about all these little things you felt from the slightest touch of Jeno. How when he smiled his eyes got smaller and how handsome he look when he was listening to you carefully and although you knew him no more than hour you really felt it excluding the fact that he is already your soulmate.
ââYes,Jeno, I will. Will you love me?âyou asked him back waiting for his answer.
ââYes, I will love and take care of you, Y/nâ
That was all you wanted to hear. You knew you would need time to fall in love with Jeno but you knew that you love him and he would love you back. Maybe having âfuck youââ on your name wasnât that bad considering that you felt really lucky having Jeno as your soulmate. You secretly hoped he also wouldnât mind your caps-locked essay now that he found you. Now all you were looking forward to was what the Fate held for you and Jeno.

leafeana replied to your post:Â
WAIT i was just scrolling through your blog cause im hungry for content and saw this again and realized you asked what version i was playing? which i dont remember answering whoops
im playing it on pc! which is great bc then i get to mess around with mods (like the one that gives cindy some real clothing lol) but its also got its downsides since my computer is definitely not a gaming computer, which means graphics take a serious hit and lagging isnt uncommon
im...not sure if its royal edition?? I think windows edition has all the features of royal edition, although im not completely sure. I think luna has a cutscene in Insomnia thats only in royal edition, so once im there ill be able to tell. technically im in Insomnia now but ive time traveled back and it might be a while before i push on to the finale. after dealing with Altissia --> the start of Insomnia linearly i wanted some time to chill with the bros and pretend
everything is fine for a while. it has been a WILD ride for sure and yeah I haven't even started up any of the dlc yet! theres so much content!! ive been practicing playing as the other bros during medium-hard combat which has kept it feeling really fresh too. also its hilarious just blasting bad guys with a bazooka while the other people are in there swinging around swords and knives. and i haven't done any of the crossover quests yet, which seem big and exciting!
ill be forever sad that i missed the assassins festival but theres definitely plenty to do that I'm excited for. and im getting really into the fishing!! charmed is definitely the right word like..its not perfect at all but this game is so genuinely endearing with its characters personalites and development and its themes and music as well and it really does some things SO well.
god okay this is a lot of words. sorry for rambling and for the late reply! no one i know plays this game or has much interest in it so youre getting all my bottled up enthusiasm
PLEASE DO NOT EVER APOLOGISE FOR RAMBLING SEND ME AS MUCH AS I LOVE WORDS AND THOUGHTS AND TALKING ABOUT FFXV DUDE <3333 also literally no worries about late replies or replying at all im forever shit at them myself i get it bro nw nw nw
hell yeah pc is royal edition with a bunch of other shit and the dlcs (bar ardyn) incorporated, dont worry, also i would die for that one cindy in a decent outfit mod i know the exact one youre on about LOL (also i can recommend you some other mods if u like!!)
if i can share some knowledge with you right quick cuz i had the same problem and wouldve died to have someone tell me i went from barely 20fps on a good day to being able to run multiple programs with ffxv in the background; specialk is a very quick install and majorly helped with multithreading; otherwise for the in game options are using low resolution texture pack (assets option); shadows look near visually identical on the lowest option compared to the highest; all nvidia effects can be turned off with no significant graphic change; turning off anti aliasing entirely genuinely makes the game look better for me; i can post my full settings if itll help you and ive also read through a few tutorials for modding around lag so i can try and help you with that, i do get pretty major lag spikes though and frequently find it near impossible to stream/record, but i manage to nail that 60fps on average if im solely running ffxv with a few cut corners like those
also dont blame you with altissia, ngl i boiled through the story rollercoaster right quick after exploring most of the open world before even touching altissia and ended up ignoring all postgame content for starting a new save immediately and replaying just to get that hangout time in the open world that wasnt just go-back-in-time-through-magic-dog. but i feel you so hard dude i just want more of them chilling. literally i have 300 hours in this game already and i know half of those have been using the car listening to tunes LMFAO
yeah the crossover quests are funnn the one with terra wars is sweet and the ffxiv one is SO funny its literally hysterical i was roaring with laughter a couple times!!! and good on you practising i didnt touch any of the extended combat until my third save and yeah honestly if you want to do the postgame menaces those skillsll come in useful, its funny because the maingame bosses arent that hard but the postgame is mental. but yeah i love blowing shit up with proms bazooka it fucking rules nerds can keep their swords
ALSO SAME... i wanna play the promptis date so bad!! i wanna play episode duscae so bad!!! wanna play the platinum demo with baby noctis so bad!! knowing theyll never be ported kills meeeeee. sad & upset but as you say theres so much to do and the dlc honestly offer so much im still finding shit i havent done and ive spent a year playing already
honestly so much of this game for me is literally just booting it to go hang with the guys its really relaxing lmfaooo... hiking around with these goofy dudes. sometimes i just wanna chill with the anime boys. YEAH literally its sweet and charming and then fucking heartbreaking and even though the writing is hammy as hell im honestly so willing to forgive it. not only for the clear amount of care and love that went into specifically building the guys relationship (which anyone knows is the best and most realised part of the game) but the details and amount of lore you can uncover if you take a step and interpret a little. maybe thats too generous a statement for what was an executive nightmare and critically underdeveloped but i grew up on ffxiii and knowing the versus 13 lore and that ffxv was part of that extended canon im satisfied with it being another side to that story and running with that. i think supplemented with its additional content years after release ffxv isnt a complete experience but enough of one to leave an impact or at least it did majorly for me! ive been obsessed.
OMG sorry im nerding too its all good lol just genuinely i love this game and its hard to find people talking about it these days but i really had such a good time and still am continuing to and i love it fuck it ball hard
real shit though it has the best fishing minigame of all time hands down nothing has come close fuck the haters

Rating: M, 16+ ONLY
A/N: Hello! Welcome to Christmas Drabbles 2018! For the next seven days Iâll be posting a drabble every dang day with a festive theme. I hope you enjoy and happy holidays!
Summary:Â Based on the prompt âCharacter A and Character B, sworn enemies, are chosen to prepare the company Christmas Partyâ, by @alloftheprompts
MASTERLIST
CHRISTMAS DRABBLES 2018 MASTERLIST
Please donât copy, steal or repost my work; credit does not count.
âWhat the hell are you doing?â
Oh, here we go.
âExcuse me?â
Arching an eyebrow, you place your hands on your hips as you turn to the source of the gruff voice.
Chief Jim Hopper looks at you incredulously, his hands also on his hips.
âWhat. The hell. Are you doing?â he repeats in that slow way that immediately makes you feel like a complete idiot.
Clenching your jaw, you raise your eyebrows. âWhat does it look like, Chief Hopper?â
âIt looks like youâre hanginâ tinsel on the holding cells.â
âOh, so your eyes do work.â
You turn back to your task, a hint of a smug smirk on your lips as you hear him exhale a long breath. You were always able to push your luck because what could he do? Fire you? Yeah, well, maybe, but on what grounds? Stating the truth?
Just try me, Hopper.
You were always just that little step ahead, and he hated it.
âYou canât hang tinsel on the holding cells.â
âDo please tell me why.â
You can practically hear his teeth grinding together. âThatâs where we keep suspected or confirmed criminals. We canât have it lookinâ... Jolly.â
âYes, we can.â You finish sticking two ends of tinsel together and step down from the chair.
And you leave your response at that.
Turning away from him, you move back to the box of decorations, rummaging through it for the multi-coloured lights youâd seen and fallen in love with earlier. Finding them, horrendously tangled, you thrust them in Hopperâs direction, not looking at him.
âDo something useful and untangle these.â
You hear that deep, irritating sigh of exasperation as he takes them and sits down heavily in the nearest chair, getting to work as he mutters under his breath.
If only heâd known Flo had also picked you to decorate the Station. He would have stayed right the hell away. Maybe even gone across to another state. Taken a whole damn week off so he didnât have to see or think about you.
What he wouldnât give for one day of relief.
âCome on, honey, come and dance.â
Smiling widely at Flo, you shake your head, your bell earrings tinkling with the motion. âNo, Iâm all right, thank you, Flo. Maybe after Iâve had a few more of these.â You raise your cup a little. âThen Iâll be able to dance like, oh, what did our delightful chief call it last year... A newborn foal with roller-skates on.âÂ
Flo tuts as she moves closer to your side. âLike he can dance any better. Oh, no, I mean, you are a good dancer, honey,â she swiftly continues when you arch an eyebrow. âOh, you know what I mean. Oh, if only you two would get along, you have so much in common.â
You snort, raising your cup to your lips. âYeah, well, he should apologise.â
âCanât you just let it go and shake hands?â
âIâm not that big a person, Flo.â
It had been three years since youâd started. Three years since The Incident. Since... Since heâd... What had he said again... Urgh, you canât remember the specifics but it was something incredibly patronising and you hadnât just let it slide and it had snowballed from there and here you are today.
Staring across the office floor at him.
Your skin prickling in that way it always does when heâs near.
Your heart beating just that little bit faster.
Unable to stop staring at him.
âânother beer, Chief?â
Hopper lifts his gaze from his nearly empty bottle to the one Powell holds out to him.
âYeah, thanks.â Setting the one in his hand down on the table, he accepts the fresh bottle, raising it to his lips for a sip.Â
Powell stands at his side, gazing out at the cramped dance floor you had somehow made the space for, desks and chairs shoved aside.
âHey, didnât she wear that dress at the Thanksgiving party?â
Calvin Powell looks to his chief, then to you, then back to Hopper. âYeah, I think so. Why?â
âDunno, just...â Hopper shrugs, lifting the bottle to his lips again as he mumbles, âMake an effort, you know.â
Powell raises his eyebrows. âSays the guy who wears the same shirt to everything.â
âYeah, but, you know... Women,â Hop finishes weakly, wincing slightly in instant regret.
Powellâs eyebrows rise even higher. ââWomenâ?â
Apparently relenting to the fact he has to commit to the words that somehow came out of his mouth, Hopper clears his throat and shrugs. âYeah... Women.â
His officer stares at him. âUh-huh. Women... Mystifying, arenât they?â
âMhm.â
âAnnoying when you canât figure âem out, isnât it?â He watches Hopper stare at you, watching you converse with Flo.
âMhm.â
âAnd itâs even more annoying when you wanna go over there, ask âem if you can get âem a drink and apologise for being a damn idiot all the time.â
âMhmââ Hopperâs gaze flicks over to him, his eyes narrowing.
Powell shrugs.
Clearing his throat, Hopper opens his mouth, to say what he has no God damn clue, when his eyes find their way back to you and youâre heading into his office.
âWhat in the hell...â he mutters, irritation swiftly rising within him as he sets his bottle down and strides after you, leaving Powell staring after him.
âHow can we have run out of cups already? Hopper was meantâ Well, there we go actually, Hopper was in charge, thatâs how we have.â Exhaling a short breath of frustration, you then smile at Flo and pat her shoulder gently as you pass. âIâm gonna go and get some cups.â
Placing your cup down on the nearest desk, you round it and push through the small swing door leading to Hopperâs office. Opening the door, you head inside, not bothering to turn the light on.
Hopper being Hopper, heâd vehemently opposed you using his office as a decoration base but youâd ignored him and stored boxes in there when he hadnât been looking. Which had actually been easy to do because he never looked. Not that you minded. One bit.
Surveying the array of boxes, you try and remember which ones the cups were in.
Oh, God, where the hell has he put them...
âWhat are you doing?â
You exhale a low, exasperated sound, opening the nearest box and starting to search through it. âGetting more cups, officer.â
âDid you not put enough out?â
âThe drinks table was your jurisdiction, Hopper, itâs the only thing you got excited about. The most excited Iâve ever seen you, actually, I didnât know it was possible.â
âI get excited about things.â
âYeah, like what?â
âKnowing youâre not gonna be in.â
You snort.
Wait, what.
You hadnât been able to help it. Youâd snorted. And not a dismissive snort. An amused snort.
And neither of you know what to do.
So you both ignore it.
Clearing your throat and mercifully finding the cups, you pull them out, turn and move to the door, pushing the wrapped stack into Hopperâs hands as you pass him.
Youâre so close to the door, so close to freedom and pretending that never happened, when Callahan appears in the doorway.
âOh, shiiit, look whoâs under the mistletoe!â he grins, dangling the fake arrangement above your head.
âOh, God, never, Phil,â you reply, incredibly grateful for the distraction and trying so hard not to smile.
âNah, câmon, you two.â
ââYou twââ
In taking a step back from Callahan, you meet a hard wall behind you.Â
Not a wall.
A Hopper.
The Chief clears his throat. âNo, Callahan.â
âCome on, just a lilâ peck.â
âCallaââ
âSmooch, smooch.â
âPhilââ
He raises the mistletoe higher. âI wonât let you pass and I reckon I could take you both on. Get in to the Christmas spirit, guys, câmon.â
âChrist, fine,â you mutter.
You tilt your head back and lift your chin to kiss Hopper on the cheek to just get this over with... but heâs turned his head, too.Â
Your lips meet his.
Gently.
Gently?Â
God, you thought kissing Hopper would be uncoordinated, heâs a complete mess of a man, frankly, but this is... This is nice, no, wait, anyway, you donât spend a lot of time thinking about kissing him soâ
Your lips are still against his. You havenât pulled back. And neither has he.
He seems to realise it the same moment you do.
Drawing your head back so quickly you almost strain a muscle, you stare at him as he stares at you.
Even Callahan goes quiet for once.
For a few seconds.
âOkay, whoâs next!â he calls out as he turns and zones in on the next victim.
You and Hopper are still looking at each other.
Your cheeks feel warm and his mouth is open, like heâs fighting for something to say.
He finds it. âRight.â
âRight.â
âOkay.â
You want to kiss him again.
Oh, God.
Clearing your throat, you nod and turn away, start walking, pause in the doorway, and then clear your throat again.
âPut the cups on the table, Hopper.â
âYep.â
Lifting your gaze, you find him still looking at you.
Oh, God.
âOkay, so Iâllââ
âActually...â
You blink, slightly startled that heâs interrupted your attempt to leave this situation he should no doubt be also finding awkward.Â
Thereâs something in his eyes, though, something that you canât look away from.
â... I remember tellinâ you you couldnât put all this shit in here.â He drops the stack of cups into a box beside him as he moves towards you, and you donât move.
Standing before you, looking down at you, he reaches behind you and pushes the door shut.
Suddenly, pressed against him, your head leaning back against the door, you can name whatâs lingering in his gaze.
Lust.

Best Friend! Yuta
Word Count: 3.1k
A/N i havent posted in like 5 years and i have no excuse and this wasnt even requested but there is an extreme lack of yuta content and i decided to make it myself smh ANYWAYS i liked writing this a lot and feedback is encouraged!!! lov u lil squishies muah <33 -Admin Madi
ALSO this was inspired by this post from @xuxi-rolls and this post from @youaremychwingum which are both amazingly cute blogs and people so go check them out!
Backstory first! You two met in the 3rd grade when he was deep in his anime phase and you were obsessed with collecting erasers that were shaped like weird things such as lipstick tubes and paintbrushes
Yuta stole the paintbrush one and started using it like a sword like a character from his fav anime and boy when you saw him do that were you were like âim gonna do it. Im gonna kill himâ
You literally stomped your lil sketcher clad feet over to his desk and YANKED that shit from his chubby fingers with zero remorse
And he started crying and you felt bad and were like âwell fine you can have it i guessâ
And he immediately stops his FAKE crying bc hes a snake and sticks his tongue out at you as he snatches the eraser back
And you went into full Attack Mode and you two got into a small fist fight and the teacher had to break it up it was nasty
Anyways after you two went through the next year having some major beef, yuta apologised bc heâs a gentleman and even bought you a new eraser!
It was shaped like a dinosaur and you loved it so much that you instantly forgave him bc you didnt have an eraser in that shape yet!!
And he was beaming after seeing ur face light up like that and proudly pulled a matching dino eraser from his back pocket and was like âwe match!! We can be best friends now!â
And you Loved that idea you were like yes okay first order of business: more erasers
Anyways you two just instantly clicked bc ur sense of humor was v v similar and life became so much more enjoyable with having him there to share the experience with you
Throughout ur many years of friendship, Yuta had always wanted nothing more than for your friendship to be comfortable, honest and loving
Youâre the one that he rants to, gushes to and confides to so your friendship to him is so precious
And as you grew older and gained more freedom, both of you started to do more things outside of school like go on late night drives, go to the movies, amusements parks and out to eat every other day
And it became natural and routinely that going days without one another felt weird??
And you and yuta have discussed the idea of maybe you two being soul mates, but in a completely platonic way
Like you were two halves meant to come together
And yuta liked to reinforce this idea bc when it comes to being lovers, you shouldnât be looking for your other half, but rather looking for the person who already makes you feel whole
And so when yâall graduated from high school you immediately got an apartment together!
Itâs definitely not very fancy or anything since you both only had part time jobs here and there during the school years and summers, but itâs better than nothing!
And although yuta and you are similar, your styles are where you really begin to differ
While he wants to have pictures of mountains and gardens hanging on the living room walls, you would rather have mirrors shaped like suns and fairy lights behind the couch
And obviously after some friendly banter, you come to an agreement that a painting of pretty outside scenery at night would look great with some fairy lights to compliment it!!
And so your apartment quickly becomes a mesh of your style with his and itâs oddly nice?? Like who wouldâve thought that yutaâs knick knacks from japan would look so cute next to your family photos
Itâs a two bedroom apartment but you both end up sleeping on the couch in a heap more often than youâd like to admit
Youâre both in uni doing ur own things so when its time to come home and relax, youâll find yourself curled up next to him on the couch with your laptop open and writing a paper while heâs munching on some snacks and watching a game of soccer he missed bc of classes
And youâll quickly fall asleep bc papers are boring!! And yuta doesnt want to move bc your laying on him and doesnt want to disturb you so heâll just quietly cheer to himself when his team scores and eventually falls asleep
But sometimes he has no problem lightly shoving you off and going to his own bed bc the couch isnt really that comfortable and hurts his back after awhile, but he brings your duvet out so its more comfortable for you at least
And although you two are pretty much joint at the hip, your bedrooms are private from one another
Like its nice being with yuta, but its also very important that you have time to yourself and so neither of you are intrusive when the other person is in their room with the door shut
If either of you need anything youâll just shoot each other a text or quietly knock on the door rather than just barging in which is something that both of you really appreciate
And you obviously have other friends besides yuta that you love dearly! And you make sure that you get to see them often and that yuta goes out with his friends too bc its easy to get sick of each other no matter how much you love one another
And this makes for your friendship to be healthy! Which is like, the most important thing bc being your own person is important and having close relationships/friendships is also important! But its easy to get too attached and end up hurting yourself down the road
And yuta is aware of this as well and so it makes things a lot easier bc he knows when you need your space and when to distance himself if he needs it too
But living with yuta is a lot of fun!
He likes to cook sometimes so youâll always have a full tummy with yuta around!! And if he's not in the mood for slaving over the stove, heâll just make some instant noodles and call it a day
He really tries to make as many traditional japanese dishes as he can so he can have a slice of his home whenever heâs feeling down, and he just really enjoys sharing that part of his life with you too
Undoubtedly his favorite part is when he gets to hand feed you with a spoon and witness the look on your face as you chew bc itâs really rewarding for him
Sometimes your schedules kind of clash on days so whenever heâs home and youâre in class, heâll make food for himself and leave you tupperware containers of food in the fridge for you to heat up when you get back bc he knows youâll just crash and not eat which is really bad
And yuta cares about ur health!!! Heâs attentive as heck!!
But youâll do the same thing for him, and even if you aren't a world renowned chef, youâll lay cash on the counter for him to call in a pizza or something quick
If you know heâs been craving something then youâll leave the number for the place next to the money you leave so it makes ordering a bit easier for him!
Also, yuta is very organized! Sometimes heâll throw his jacket here and there or have some things where they shouldnât be, but yuta really likes having a clean and tidy apartment!
He hates doing the dishes, but heâll literally do anything else
He likes to vacuum for some reason you dont know but youâre like okay have at it! One less thing i gotta do! And heâs really happy once heâs done bc BAM you have clean floors
And youâll just be sarcastic about it but in a loving way and he laps that shit up bc sarcasm!!! His second language <333
You two have a nightly routine that ensues when neither of you are busy the next day so  youâll watch a movie on netflix youâve been eyeing together and crash
Sometimes when yuta gets home on these nights youâll still be in the shower or getting ready for bed, and yuta will come in and sit on the counter and youâll talk about your day and just chill while shampooing ur hair (which yuta is obsessed with btw..he loves touching and playing with it)
But heâll just be there,,listening closely and telling you about his own day while drawing squiggly images on the mirror like hearts and stick figures holding hands (its always you and him, but when you ask, he insists its him and winwin)
And you laugh bc boy does ur bff ever have a massive crush on sicheng!!
But yuta is just cute and likes your platonicness with him
Bc he really does love you! People often ask you two if youâre dating and you can see why people would ask that bc you and yuta are super close, but itâs also kind of an odd thought to both of you bc yeah you love each other but,,,not as lovers
And so youâll laugh it off and talk about it afterwards bc you really cant see each other in that light because you tried dating in high school and it just felt kind of weird
Yuta loves to tease and joke around with you, sometimes be a little (read; lot) sarcastic with his jokes but he really does care about u and thats how he shows his affection!!
Heâll hold ur hand when ur out at the grocery store or shopping together and likes to pat your head and plays with your ears but thats about it for physical affection!
Youâre emotionally bonded more so than physically which is not a bad thing uwu
Yuta finds it kind of hard to openly joke around to the same extent with others as he does to you and knowing this makes you feel really special
Like yeah!! Thats right!!! Im his best friend!!
Yuta also LOVES to dance with you
It doesnât matter if itâs serious or not, he will not hesitate to pull you up onto ur feet and have you dancing with him
ESP to sistars shake it! Yâall have so much fun when that song comes on
At first this was embarrassing but then yuta would just NOT stop shaking his butt so you were like oh well lets both look cutely dumb i guess
And youâll get noise complaints a lot bc the walls are thin and youâre moving around, creating a lot of noise and you feel especially bad when this is all happening at like,,,3am
Anyways you live kind of a fast pace life so whenever you gotta be somewhere you kinda fly out the door with ur feet shoved into ur shoes with the backs down and yuta will silently come behind you and remind you to slow down and will bend down and personally make sure theyâre on properly so you donât trip and die
It annoys him sometimes bc you should be taking better care of yourself and heâs not always going to be there to look after you and that worries him!!!
To allow him to sleep a little better at night, he bought you slide on shoes that you can easily shove on and fly out the door so he wonât have a heart attack at the thought of you falling down some stairs due to the hastiness of which you put your sneakers on improperly
And heâs also the one who is like âhey its been a couple of months so i bought you a new toothbrush bc dental hygiene is importantâ and youâre like âokay nice i just bought some new toothpaste on sale the other day, itâs minty so i think youâll like itâ
And this is how you two co-exist in ur shitty lil apartment
Yuta is also into soccer so you always make sure to go and support him at his games! Even if theyâre just practices or whatnot, youâll always be on the bleachers cheering for him!
Which yuta LOVES because heâll point you out to his teammates and be like âthats my best friend, ugly, right?â and theyâll just laugh bc of his teasing and they can tell you two really get along
And yuta is uwu x100 at this
Anyways yuta likes to show off and do fancy tricks like sliding on the grass to get the ball and heâs all dirty when you get back to ur apartment together and you wont let him touch anything bc that means more cleaning which neither of u have the energy for
So youâll basically make him take VERY large and wide steps towards the bathroom so he can shower and leave minimal dirt behind as he does so
And then heâll come out of the shower with wet hair and clean up the tracks he left with a paper towel but heâll go in circles for a good 30 seconds wiping up dirt and then water from his wet hair
And youâll observe him and laugh for a bit before youâll drape a fluffy towel over his head and heâll pretend to be scared and ask who turned off the lights
To which you nudge him and call him a dork, but when he takes the towel off and get to look at his face, you tell him he did a great job at the game and his eyes will change from playful teasing to filled with genuine love in .5 seconds and heâll instantly wrap you in his arms
And youâll find warmth in his embrace and wonder why he smells so good and then youâll realize heâs using your shampoo
Youâre like okay well, sigh, whatever its okay bc hes cute i guess so we can share
And then yuta will pull away, give your head an affectionate pat and go work on a paper or something due for school
Which you both do a lot of late night paper writing sessions and so when he tells you heâs retreating to his room for the night youâll go and cut up some fruit and gather some snacks he likes and bring them to him before he becomes too absorbed in schoolwork
And he does the same to you except he brings you a lot of water since its âimportant to stay hydrated~!â and will cover you in his favorite blanket bc he claims it âhelps you write better papersâ
And you arent allowed to refuse bc one time you tried to and yuta was like âokay well i guess iâll be moving out thenâ and youâre like okay i know youâre joking but its hot in here i dont want to have a blanket on me
And yuta starts to dramatically pick things off of shelves until heâs saying things like âiâll be out by morning since im not appreciatedâ and youâre rolling your eyes so hard you think theyâll go to the back of your head but its like okay fine thank you for your magic blanket houdini
Yuta just winks at you and does a theatrical bow before putting everything back and leaving you to write your magical paper
ANYWAYS thats what most nights are like, full of playful banter and fun talks
You also both THRIVE off the dollar store which is literally everything bc you two get so excited going in there!
They have everything so its like?? This place is my Second Home and i Love it Dearly
And yuta likes to buy candy there since its so cheap and one time when you were looking for a new broom, he wanders off and comes back with his hands behind his back and is like âguess what i found!!!â
And this is nothing new because yuta gets excited about the cutest things so youâre like âgum?â
And his smile gets all wide and bright like i KNOW you know the one im talking about, itâs literally kept me alive for the past 18 years
And heâll bring his hands out and WOW ARE THOSE ERASERS THAT ARE SHAPED AS SMALL ORDINARY OBJECTS??
And you just want to CRY bc thats literally the sole being of your friendship in his HANDS!
Yuta is proud as heck and buys two matching ones for you two and theyâre of paintbrushes in honor of the one he snatched in the third grade!
Which makes your heart so happy and content
But thats the effect yuta has on you! Someone who always manages to have you smiling and happy with life
But he does end up buying candy bc its basically your duty as a human to buy some expired candy from the local dollar store
And yuta really loves the flavor blue raspberry, esp if its sour and he finds a bag of sour jolly ranchers and goes nuts
And he picks out and religiously eats only the blue ones, a red one makes the cut here and there, but youâre like?? Yuta?? Can i atleast have ONE? And he rarely ever shares but its like okay whatever enjoy your cavities heathen
And youâll clown the shit out of him bc his tongue is blue, his teeth are blue and the area around his mouth is blue and you cant just let that pass
And heâll laugh when you try and come up with palpable things to call him, and when youâre both giggling uncontrollably, heâll try to kiss your cheek bc heâs all sticky and he knows that would drive you mad
And its the same with his fingers bc theyre all blue and sticky too and heâll hold your hand so hard that your fingers stick together and youre like yuta!!!! But you really secretly enjoy it
And then youâll go home with bags full of god knows what and struggle to find places for everything but its okay bc the memories that come with the plastic bags and erasers from your childhood remind you why you love yuta as much as you do
Can you tell i love yuta yet or is this au too vague <3333

To claim a piece of art, send an email to [email protected] with the titles of your top two favourites. There may be a second round of claims if there are more authors who wish to participate, but this second round will not start until all pieces have been claimed in the first round.
Iâve just had a few people tell me they sent in asks trying to claim work but I have no record of them, from now on please claim via email only. If you have sent in an ask and not had an email with one of the drafts you claimed, please email me. I have sent out the drafts to everyone that I have seen a claim from so far, if you havent got a draft in you inbox your claim may not have come through, please consider claiming one of the works still available.
Iâm so sorry about this, Iâm not sure why I havenât been recieving those asks and I do apologise to everyone it has effected.
Title: By my side Description/Prompt: Tony and Bucky have been in a secret relationship for a while. After Civil War events, they talked things out and after some time everything turned right for them. They can't see each other so easily because of the Sokovia Accords, so they take advantage of every second they spend together. It has been four months since last time they saw each other, Tony noticed he has been followed lately and had to stop their meetings. Tony, despites everything, have been working on a way to change some things on the accords to also protect heroes, he wants to help Bucky and the others so they can stop being fugitives, wanting a normal life with the one he loves and wanting the world to be a better place with heroes protecting it. He planned a meeting in Wakanda to discuss the issue with T'Challa and also using that as an excuse to see Bucky again. Bucky thinks it's time to tell everyone about their relationship, but Tony is still reluctant about it, he wants everything to be solved first. Warnings: Explicit Limitations: I don't want: unhappy ending, cheating, death of Bucky or Tony, bashing any character. A/N: It's based on MCU~ Love the idea of them having this kind of pure love inside some sort of forbidden relationship. Not only for what had happened between them, also because of the accords. The art is a moment they share together after the meeting in Wakanda. Hope you like it~
Title: Exposure Description/Prompt: Set of 2 drawings. Setting: sci-fi/android AU? 1. A digital drawing/painting of a Winter Soldier-esque Bucky, wearing a lower face mask, carrying a wounded Tony in his arms. It's darkly lit, and he's standing knee deep in reflective water. Tony's chest cavity is exposed, showing metal and wiring. There's a faint glow of the arc reactor. 2. A digital drawing/painting of a shirtless Tony about to kiss Bucky over his face mask. There's smoke venting out of Bucky's face mask. Warnings: N/A Limitations: Would prefer if there wasn't solely pre-slash, or include major character death, infidelity, dub/non con, or unhappy ending. A/N: Drafts are not finalized so looking forward to working with the author to fill in details!
Title: Post-apocalyptic Description/Prompt: Post-apocalyptic AU! Scrappy mechanic Tony meets badass loner and fighter Bucky (with a clunky metal arm)? Maybe some getting to know (and later: trust) each other and surviving (together?) in a hostile world? Trying to make a living? Warnings: - Limitations: Bucky and Tony should survive. No sad ending. A/N: The art is a design for Bucky. Optional art: Bucky watching over a sleeping Tony. Letâs brainstorm together.
Title: A Quiet Evening in Description/Prompt: It's hard to braid your hair one handed. Thankfully Tony doesn't mind lending his hands and his cats, Dum-E, U, and Butterfingers don't mind having someone extra around the apartment to spoil them. Warnings: None Limitations: Would prefer no pwp
Title: Snow White/ Fantasy AU Description/Prompt: Huntsman Bucky is sent out to assassinate Prince Tony in the woods and bring his heart to King Obie. The problem? Prince Tony turns out pretty hard to kill, and his heart is a price worth way way more than Bucky could have imagined. Not to mention the hunter is haunted by his own demons... One drawing is of the two fighting in the woods, the other of Huntsman Bucky crouching, (his dragon arm showing), and having a L'Oreal hair moment. Warnings: violence (semi-graphic? they are fighting - there's no blood, but non-sexy choking) Limitations: please no damsel-in-distress Tony, character bashing, and dub/non-con A/N: You can take the prompt or leave it, (although I'd love some huntsman Bucky and maybe technomancer Tony) and I would love to help you brainstorm and cheer you on. I generally like traumatized Bucky more than pre-war Bucky but I'm open for everything. :)
Title: Noir Description/Prompt: Iron Man Noir AU with Tony and Bucky standing arm in arm on Tonyâs airship, looking down at the clouds. They lean into each other. Warnings: none Limitations: MCD, darkfic, A/N: I would love to talk about it all.
Title: Not really a villain Description/Prompt: Tony knows about the Winter Soldier: He's an assassin, often working for Hydra. He has killed or maimed politicians and secret agents alike, most recently he'd been after Alexander Pierce. Everyone knows about Iron Man: He's a villain, although some people want to call him vigilante. He blows up Stark Industries' facilities and takes apart crime syndicates. When they meet, it seems unlikely that their goals align, but they might have more in common than they know. But, you can't just trust a villain, can you? Picture: In a dark room, Iron Man is aiming a repulsor at the Winter Soldier. The soldier is almost hidden in the darkness of the room, looking serious, and armed with knife and gun. Warnings: Limitations: Please let it end somewhat happy. Please no MCD, or actually evil Tony and Bucky. A/N: brainstorming together is one of my favourite things.
Title: Concubine AU Description/Prompt: When Bucky gets sold as a concubine, he already knows how this works: keep your head down and hope his new master doesn't notice him too much. Getting noticed either brings pain, or pain and⌠other attention. Slowly, he notices that King Stark is not at all like the rumors suggested⌠The art is Bucky, posing with some jewellery and revealing clothes. Warnings: partial nudity? Limitations: No dubcon or noncon between Bucky and Tony, dark Tony, major character death, or too much gore. A/N: Dark themes are fine though. Maybe some pain, some recovery? I usually like stories where they grow to love each other before they end up having sex.â¨Stuckony is also an option. Iâd love to talk about ideas and plot!
Title : Fateful Encounters Description/Prompt : Iron Man AU Tony and Bucky meet at the gala. Bucky is a businessman like Tony. They end up liking each other a lot. Everyone is human. Bucky likes riding bikes just like Tony loves cars. Tony becomes iron man but he himself destroys the suit after Stane is dead. He doesnât believe the world needs that kind of technology. Stark industries also goes into making better medical equipmentâs.  So, the only ones who know about him being iron man are Rhodey, Pepper and later Bucky.  Iron man becomes an urban legend of sorts. They date for a while and when they decide to move things further itâs very special for both of them. Bucky is extremely proud to learn that his boyfriend had been iron man. He realizes that himself as he spends time with Tony. A year or two later Tony develops  MCU stabilized extremis and gets rid of the arc reactor. This knowledge he does share with the medical community. Warnings : No Warnings Limitations : I don't want these two pairings in the story in any way or form. Not even a slight mention. Not even as a joke or an offhand comment. Nothing. Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanoff Tony Stark and Sunset Bain No Steve and Loki bashing. If the latter isn't even in the story, that's fine. No cheating, non-con, child abuse and alcohol abuse. A/N : Happy ending for the story.  And there are two more pieces of art.
Title: Long Distance Disaster [working title] Description/Prompt: Still struggling with guilt and/or due to pressure from the government, Bucky agrees to go on a long term mission to space. Tony is very unhappy to be left alone. Long distance relationships are tough; even more so when Buckyâs mission ends in a fiery crash leaving Bucky seriously injured and Tony afraid that heâs about to lose the love of his life. Format: Video, expected final length roughly 4:30 minutes. Clips primarily drawn from Iron Man (1, 2, and 3), The Soloist, Political Animals, The Martian, and Gossip Girl. Audio drawn from the same sources as the clips, as well as Ally McBeal, and the song âIf Thereâs A Rocket Tie Me To Itâ by Snow Patrol. Warnings: Established relationship, guilt, near-death-experience/serious injury, relationship drama, hospitals, angst. Limitations: Happy endings only. Iâd strongly prefer that either Civil War never happened, or the fic is set far enough past it that it doesnât come up at all. No bashing of other characters/ships, especially Pepper and Tony should be on good/friendly terms if sheâs around in the fic. A/N: Iâd love to brainstorm/discuss the fic. I tried to leave it as flexible and open as possible and I donât expect the fic to necessarily follow the video exactly.
Title : Fools in love Description/Prompt :Â Bucky and Tony have a friends with benefits kind of relationship. Bucky went through a very bad break up with his boyfriend and it hurts Tony to see him like that. Â Heâd liked him for a while. They end up sleeping together and come to an arrangement of sorts. Tony is literally like : Iâll take what I can get. He is not going to burden Bucky with his feelings when he is going through such a hard time. Â Tony is usually sad and heâs virgin too. One day it gets too much and Bucky sort of shouts at Tony. Tony starts crying. Bucky realizes he loves Tony and berates himself for not realizing Tony had always loved him. They are both engineers and enjoy reading a lot. They are in their twenties. Warnings : No Warnings Limitations : I don't want these two pairings in the story in any way or form. Not even a slight mention. Not even as a joke or an offhand comment. Nothing. Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanoff Tony Stark and Sunset Bain No Steve and Loki bashing. If the latter isn't even in the story, that's fine. No cheating, non-con, child abuse and alcohol abuse. A/N : Happy ending for the story. Â And there are two more pieces of art.
Title: Winter Piano Teacher [working title] Description/Prompt: Concerned for her son, Maria Stark decides that Tony needs more in his life than computers and robots. Little does she know that HYDRA has taken the opportunity to install a sleeper agent in the Stark household. Tony certainly didnât expect to fall in love with his enigmatic, volatile piano tutor. Format: Video, expected final length roughly 2 minutes. Clips and audio primarily drawn from Political Animals, Ally McBeal, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, piano instrumental music, and âThe Winter Soldierâ theme. Warnings: brainwashing, deception, implied abuse, typical winter soldier stuff Limitations: In this AU I do not want Bucky to be responsible for the Stark parentsâ death. Happy endings only. Tony cannot be younger than 17; I would prefer he be 21. A/N: I would love to brainstorm/talk over the fic together. I have 2-3 of âfixed pointsâ of the plot that are important to me but I tried to leave as much of it open to the authorâs discretion as possible. You donât have to follow everything shown in the video exactly.
Title: Mob Mentality Description/prompt: Comic panel style. First panel sees Steve, Bucky, and Natasha entering. All look angry. There is evidence of blood on them. Second panel shows bound hands, obviously injured and bleeding from the ropes that tie them. Third panel has a furious Bucky screaming ,âWhere is he?!â Fourth shows Tony looking down, distraught, but he raises his head at something, saying âBucky?â Last panel isn't sketched out quite yet, but I plan to have them embracing. Warnings: Blood, though not gallons of it or anything. Implied violence that is off panel. Limitations: Happy ending. No infidelity. No graphic or gratuitous torture. No death of main characters. A/N: I personally headcanon this as a Mob AU (as evidenced by the name) but I would be happy with any story the art inspires! Art
Title: Rocket Science Description/Prompt: Tony's at MIT, sleep deprived on the first day of classes, and ends up walking into an intro to physics course and taking a seat next to freshman Bucky. Tony becomes aware of things half-way through class, realizes he's in the wrong place (he doesn't even *have* class at this time!), and has a moment of panic/annoyance. Bucky thinks Tony's having trouble following the lecture, and offers to study with him. Tony almost blows him off but "oh no he's cute." Cue Tony having to attend a class he doesn't take and play dumb through tutoring/study sessions he doesn't need in order to have an excuse to hang out with Bucky (but he's SO BORED and itching to show Bucky some good shortcuts and correct his math). (Art description: Tony and Bucky are seated at a library table, disposable coffee cups, books, and notes strewn across it. Bucky is pointing something out to Tony in a textbook, while Tony looks on attentively. Both are college age. Bucky's left sleeve is pinned up; he's an amputee.) Warnings: none Limitations: no big age gap, no ABO 'verse, no unhappy endings A/N: Any additions of identity porn (i.e. Bucky doesn't realize he's been tutoring the famous genius heir to the Stark empire) would be welcome; the prompt is open to discussion (nothing's set in stone). I'd love to be included in the brainstorming if possible. :D
Title: Mafia!au Description/Prompt: Â Tony is seated in a chair with a gun in one hand pointing towards viewer, while Bucky is in a suit standing to behind his left shoulder. Â I was thinking Mob Boss!Tony with Bucky as enforcer/bodyguard/something like that. Warnings: I donât think any, but there is a gun being pointed at someone off-screen Limitations: Â No MCD please, I am fine with smut as long as there is no bottom!tony, other than that canât think of anything right now- I am pretty open A/N: Look forward to working with you!
Title: No title yet
Description/Prompt: Tony learns about his parentsâ murder and, against Natashaâs warnings, decides to go looking for the Winter Soldier. When he finds him in cryosleep in the hidden depths of a Hydra base, he rashly decides to wake him upâŚ
Submission is a fanvid, so warning to the author that thereâs only so much flexibility with the plot because of needing to stay close to the source material, but Iâm excited to work with them to figure out how the fanvid will go :)
Warnings: None
Limitations: No Mpreg
Title: Escape from the Murderbots (working title) Description/Prompt: Tony and Bucky stand together, Tony is slightly in front, holding a strange piece of tech in his right hand, there is bandage around his left bicep, and the arc reactor is visible through his tank top. Bucky stands on his left, touching Tony's shoulder. Buck is only wearing  a pair of drawstring sweatpants; he is pointing to the left, out of frame, with his metal hand, there is a cuff of some sort on his metal wrist. In front of them and behind them are hovering drones, pointing guns at them. The background is a dark, futuristic cityscape with lit up signs advertising 'Viastone - Bring Your Dreams to Life', and other slogans. Warnings: None that I'm aware of. Canon typical peril? Limitations: No major character death. No non-con between Tony and Bucky. No dark!Tony or dark!Bucky. Also, no character bashing, please. Definitely would like a happy ending. A/N: The Viastone signs haven't been worked in yet, and can be changed to a different company, or Hydra, or something completely different, if that fits better with your plot or ideas, I just kind of liked the potential creepiness of Dream vision, also Ty as Tony's creepy ex could be interesting. I don't really have an idea of a plot, just the concept of a vaguely cyberpunk scene in which Tony and Bucky are being pursued by flying drones that want to shoot them, so feel free to go wherever that takes you. I'd love to hear what ideas you have.
Title: Dr Dolittle AU
Description/Prompt:
Fluff/ crack
If powered AU i.e. Avengers-compliant AU(sans TS as Iron Man)- On the day before the fateful night that Howard and Maria would have died, Tony dropped the bombshell that he was going to become a vet instead? Howard was too busy calling up lawyers and ranting at the sky about disowning Tony to drive them to their deaths. WS waits by the road until he gets bored, murders his handlers and runs away? Else post CA-WS?
WS!BB has been in hiding at a special needs animal sanctuary (for lots of pics - goats of anarchy, edgarâs mission) that TS volunteers at, doing check ups and fitting  prosthetics.
Does WS!BB approach the vet about a new arm? Does WS ever get the goats to stop eating his sleeves off? Will they ever get the animals to stop tripping them up and falling into compromising positions atop each other?
Hilarity ensues. Also probable pining, bored match-making goats who are fed up of their caretakers.
(Besides designing prosthetics for animals, Tony also makes collars for animals that translate thoughts into speech, like Dug in Up or soft-cyber implants from Rats,Bats & Vats, gaining him the nickname Dr Dolittle? Animals love him regardless, like heâs a Disney Princess) Healthcare for animals is incredibly technologically advanced and has to be reverse engineered for human usage lol? If non-powered au, anything you like! just crack/ fluff about mutual pining between volunteers at special needs animal shelter? Itâs like a coffee shop- meet cute AU but with additional baby goats playing the floor is lava.
Warnings: -
Limitations: Stark seniors not murdered by Winter Soldier. No bad endings, dub-con/non-con, a/b/o
A/N: Super secret super-soldier serum picked up by SHIELDRA since Howard was too busy rage screaming. Results in more Shieldra supersoldiers in Avengers Initiative? Howard designs Ironmonger? Chitauri Battle of NY, no nukes? Alternatively Hulk or heroic Vanko in Iron Man suit launches the nuke through the portal? Jarvis the alpaca- Just A Really Very Intelligent South-american-camelid? You is an ewe? DumE, a very recalcitrant llama wielding a mean wrench? Butterfingers? The universe is saved from Thanos by an enraged herd of enhanced llamas? https://i.redd.it/8vncab0cz3jz.jpg
Sorry, itâs all crack, feel free to yell at me if it decides to consume your brain
Title: Fantasy - Dragonrealm/ Forgotten Realms??? inspired AU Description/Prompt: Undead dragon/ dracolich, the Red Skull, captures other dragons and restores his rotting body with parts carved from his prisoners.

Title: Loving a Vampire Description/Prompt: Bucky is a vampire, Tony is a human. They meet, eventually fall in love, wear 'wedding bands' on chains around their necks. Warnings: N/A Limitations: N/A A/N: Would like more angst and drama than fluff, preferred rating for fic would be M or higher.
Title: And From The Dark Description/prompt: The prompt that inspired me was actually a writing one that went along the lines of: âdo you want to die?â âthat's a loaded question, if I say no that means I want to be immortal. If I say yes that means I'm suicidal.â I'm imagining a demon/fantasy Au(However I am open to Tony messing around with things he shouldn't and being transported to this place via science/magic) and the image itself is of Tony and Demon!Bucky on a balcony in a cavern, with Bucky leaning over Tony holding his chin. Maybe Tony has entered their domain for some reason? Or is trying get out to surface? And encounters Bucky. Warnings: little bit of blood. (Not much tho, a couple small injuries) Limitations: none that I can think of. A/N: I am a big fan of darker works and would love to see where this could go.

There are mountains and a starry sky with two moons in the background. What are they doing there and what is the plant?

Title: Reactive Art descriptions: Bucky, holding the arc-reactor in his hands, flames on one side, smoke on the other./ Bucky crying, the black mask still covering his face. Art prompt: Partially Infinity-War compliant (except for the ending). After the initial battle, the team regroups and discovers that Tony is still missing. Bucky embraces his old identity as the Winter Soldier to track Tony down. It's the only way he can set his morals aside and do what he has to do to bring Tony back. (I am open to other prompts based on the art description - happy to work with the author to come up with something different!) Warnings: n/a Limits: None. All Author's choice. A/N: Would love for this to be a dark fic, possibly with major injury and/or a death scare. Angst and hurt/comfort preferable. Happy ending or not, author's choice. Art is about 90% complete, although I may want to create more pieces depending on where the author goes with the story.
Title: By the Glittering Sea Description: Bucky is a newly hired employee of an aquarium, and he quickly realizes that they have some interesting exhibits. Mainly the one with a large tank in the middle of the entrance floor, showcasing a merman, who looks very unhappy to be there. He then realizes that he needs to get him out, with the help of his friends, of course. Warnings: None that apply so far Limitations: No rape/ non-con, or major character death.

Title: Ill met by Moonlight Description: Tony finds a transformed Bucky in a cage at an 'abandoned' hydra base, who is stuck behind a huge bulletproof glass coating. In any way the author wants it, they escape and the rest of the story will be about Tony and Bucky learning to heal together. Warnings: There will be violence, nothing out of the ordinary for the Marvel universe. Limitations: No rape/non-con, or major character death. A/N: I based Bucky's werewolf form loosely off of the Skyrim werewolves.
Title: Those Soft Petals Description: Tony slowly realizes, to his horror, that he's fallen for James "Bucky" Barnes. The only problem with that is =, Bucky seems to despise him. He doesn't like him because of what he did to Steve and Bucky that fateful night in the abandoned Hydra bunker. Of course, Tony still has nightmares from that night, of the blood, filling his lungs as he truly believed he was going to die, but now isn't the time for that. RIght now he needs to figure out why he's coughing up these damn flowers. Warnings: Tony does what severe PTSD from that night, piled on top of the Afghanistan hostage situation from years ago. Limitations: No rape/non-con, or major character death. A/N: You can choose a different flower if you'd like, but I think the peony would be good, considering it's the state flower of Indiana.

Steven Gerrard:â Thereâs a showboating attitude in establishments. My crews will be physicalâ
The former Liverpool captain talks about his new capacity as tutor of the squads under-1 8s, why young participates should not try to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo and why he turned down the MK Dons job
Steven Gerrard holds conviction should be reserved on his attributes as a manager until his tactical decisions, his leadership from the sidelines and his mistakes have been thoroughly questioned. That will come next season as manager of Liverpool Under-1 8s, where sentence on what must be has already been moved. There is a showboating mentality through establishments, claims Gerrard. My squads will be physical.
The firstly of what Gerrard hopes is likely to be several managerial paces at Liverpool was approved on Thursday with a attached role with the under-1 8s. The current under1 8s administrator, Neil Critchley, will extend the under-2 3s next season, with Mike Garrity who has been in the berth since Michael Beale endeavoured to So Paulo in December becoming part of Critchleys backroom team. Both ought to have shadowed by the former Liverpool and England captain since he returned to the fraternity in February.
The academy director, Alex Inglethorpe, reached the appointments of collaborating with Jrgen Klopp, who has been closely involved in Gerrards transition from idol officer to manager of starry-eyed children. Jrgens been the key behind all this, acknowledges the 36 -year-old, who will be assisted by the current under-1 3s manager, Tom Culshaw, and the rehab fitness tutor Jordan Milsom. It was the Liverpool managers impression to pass Gerrard an initial drift capacity across all academy age groups and, impressed by the hours and the employment put in, considering the fledgling coach ready for the next, more challenging step.
Gerrard clarifies: I spoke to Jrgen and we agreed after a few schmoozes that the 18 s was the right age group because it still gives people a bit of a spotlight with the coverage it gets but it is a place where you can make a lot of mistakes and grow and learn. Every manager and tutor I have spoken to has said I will make loads of mistakes, and your first occupation is better to be away from the cameras. The other offers I get[ controlling MK Dons ], it would have been memorizing on the job at the deep resolve and I probably wasnt ready for those enterprises. I might have been but I didnt want to take any risks, specially when there is no timescale or propose of where I want to be in a certain time, so the 18 s moved sense.
It has been really good so far. I have been shadowing five or six coaches at the establishment and been mentored by Steve Heighway and Alex as well. I am still waiting to start in terms of has become a No1 coach that guides a unit. Shadowing seems a bit different, I am more in the background. I havent had to making such a large-hearted decisions, or any substitutions, patterns or tactics yet.
Shadowing has not contained Gerrards influence alone, however. The former midfielder was immediately struck by the lack of physicality at academy tier, a frequent mourn from many Premier League administrators while the Football Association strives to improve the technical abilities of English talent. In an under-1 8s fixture against Manchester City in March, he called for and received greater severity from the Liverpool actors as City were drummed for the first time in 28 months. Gerrard expected the same the following week against Manchester United old-fashioned wonts and antagonisms die hard and the 2-2 glean substantiated a pitiless meeting. Adam Lewis, a lifelong Liverpool fan who idolises Gerrard, was moved off after 30 times for a dangerous tackle.
We work on 50 -5 0s, Gerrard jokes. As a participate I get many, many undertakes incorrect and went over the top a few epoches and I had to apologise. That is not something I want to put into young participates at all but you have to prepare them for the highest level and the highest level is physical and demanding. It is not just about tackles and rivalling. It is about trying to prepare them for the last five or 10 minutes of tournaments when it is hard and your legs are igniting and your middle is burning and it is not a neat residence is still in as a musician. You have to get them to be mentally strong prepare ourselves for that. I hate watching footballers and football when there is no physical surface and you dont compete.

There is a showboating attitude through academies. A lot of minors think they have to do 10 lollipops or Cruyff moves to examine good or stand out. We all enjoy a bit of knowledge and endowment but the other side of video games is massive. I have to try and prepare these participates for business in the game. Not all of them will play for Liverpools first team but I detect if I can help them is participating in the other side of the game it will help their business. Maybe it[ showboating] comes from video game, I dont know. There are a lot of skilful participates that young actors try and emulate probably too much instead of playing to their own strengths. They try and simulate their recreation on players like Ronaldo whereas you have to look at yourself and say: What have I got? What are my strengths? How can I improve my weakness and become a participate in my own claim?
Gerrard, who expects to complete his Uefa A licence by the end of this season, continues: I like streetwise footballers. I conclude all the pinnacle musicians come from the street, that type of actor. The kids in our establishment are coming into an unbelievable situate to make, they are getting boss meat, they are getting picked up and the full-time fellows get a lot more coin than we got when we started. There is a case that they get a bit too much too soon. They get into a solace zone of working in the area of a charming residence and then it is a big appall for them when they have to move on or get released. Ive met a lot of participates come out of the academy with huge honours and go into the Melwood dressing room. Then it is submerge or swimming and a lot of them sink.
The intensity of Liverpool youth fixtures is not all that has changed since Gerrard reverted from LA Galaxy. He himself has had to tailor-make his coaching methods for the purposes of the tutelage of the associations academy administrator. Gerrard excuses: Alex has been first-class and Ive had a lot of feedback. Hes been honest and straight-shooting with me. He has spoken to me about my body language on the side in coaching hearings. He too talked to me about my coaching voice. He craves it to be the same as it was when I was a actor, when I was captain.
Unsurprisingly, Gerrard has learnt aspiring youngsters to be a bit shy in the presence of Liverpools commanding former skipper. But formerly they know you are approachable they get comfortable very quickly, he says. We have to wait and hear[ what his strengths are as a coach-and-four] but you have to be approachable. The best managers I worked with were all exceedingly approachable, honest and fair, and always gave me feedback whether it was positive or negative.
There is a danger, of course, that a manager of Gerrards status will be measured by the immediacy of results at under-1 8 height and not on musician evolution. He accepts it comes with, if not the job, then his decision to pursue a vocation in managing when so many of his peers have preserved away. None of that worries me or scares me, he says. If it is my fault we get flog thats fine. Its about the players and their development.
Id love to see a participate I coach making such a first-team entry because it is a life-changer. Becoming your debut for a squad this length changed my life and Ill be pleased for that teenager and members of their families because it is an unbelievable circumstance to do. Building my introduction here was one of the best days of âpeoples livesâ. But they will have to fight for it because it is not easy.
Steven Gerrard âve got a lotâ to be considered as he makes the transition from actor to director. Photograph: Andrew Powell/ Liverpool FC via Getty Images

Title: By my side Description/Prompt: Tony and Bucky have been in a secret relationship for a while. After Civil War events, they talked things out and after some time everything turned right for them. They canât see each other so easily because of the Sokovia Accords, so they take advantage of every second they spend together. It has been four months since last time they saw each other, Tony noticed he has been followed lately and had to stop their meetings. Tony, despites everything, have been working on a way to change some things on the accords to also protect heroes, he wants to help Bucky and the others so they can stop being fugitives, wanting a normal life with the one he loves and wanting the world to be a better place with heroes protecting it. He planned a meeting in Wakanda to discuss the issue with T'Challa and also using that as an excuse to see Bucky again. Bucky thinks itâs time to tell everyone about their relationship, but Tony is still reluctant about it, he wants everything to be solved first. Warnings: Explicit Limitations: I donât want: unhappy ending, cheating, death of Bucky or Tony, bashing any character. A/N: Itâs based on MCU~ Love the idea of them having this kind of pure love inside some sort of forbidden relationship. Not only for what had happened between them, also because of the accords. The art is a moment they share together after the meeting in Wakanda. Hope you like it~
Title: Exposure Description/Prompt: Set of 2 drawings. Setting: sci-fi/android AU? 1. A digital drawing/painting of a Winter Soldier-esque Bucky, wearing a lower face mask, carrying a wounded Tony in his arms. Itâs darkly lit, and heâs standing knee deep in reflective water. Tonyâs chest cavity is exposed, showing metal and wiring. Thereâs a faint glow of the arc reactor. 2. A digital drawing/painting of a shirtless Tony about to kiss Bucky over his face mask. Thereâs smoke venting out of Buckyâs face mask. Warnings: N/A Limitations: Would prefer if there wasnât solely pre-slash, or include major character death, infidelity, dub/non con, or unhappy ending. A/N: Drafts are not finalized so looking forward to working with the author to fill in details!
Title: Post-apocalyptic Description/Prompt: Post-apocalyptic AU! Scrappy mechanic Tony meets badass loner and fighter Bucky (with a clunky metal arm)? Maybe some getting to know (and later: trust) each other and surviving (together?) in a hostile world? Trying to make a living? Warnings: - Limitations: Bucky and Tony should survive. No sad ending. A/N: The art is a design for Bucky. Optional art: Bucky watching over a sleeping Tony. Letâs brainstorm together.
Title: A Quiet Evening in Description/Prompt: Itâs hard to braid your hair one handed. Thankfully Tony doesnât mind lending his hands and his cats, Dum-E, U, and Butterfingers donât mind having someone extra around the apartment to spoil them. Warnings: None Limitations: Would prefer no pwp
Title: Snow White/ Fantasy AU Description/Prompt: Huntsman Bucky is sent out to assassinate Prince Tony in the woods and bring his heart to King Obie. The problem? Prince Tony turns out pretty hard to kill, and his heart is a price worth way way more than Bucky could have imagined. Not to mention the hunter is haunted by his own demons⌠One drawing is of the two fighting in the woods, the other of Huntsman Bucky crouching, (his dragon arm showing), and having a L'Oreal hair moment. Warnings: violence (semi-graphic? they are fighting - thereâs no blood, but non-sexy choking) Limitations: please no damsel-in-distress Tony, character bashing, and dub/non-con A/N: You can take the prompt or leave it, (although Iâd love some huntsman Bucky and maybe technomancer Tony) and I would love to help you brainstorm and cheer you on. I generally like traumatized Bucky more than pre-war Bucky but Iâm open for everything. :)
Title: Noir Description/Prompt: Iron Man Noir AU with Tony and Bucky standing arm in arm on Tonyâs airship, looking down at the clouds. They lean into each other. Warnings: none Limitations: MCD, darkfic, A/N: I would love to talk about it all.
Title: Not really a villain Description/Prompt: Tony knows about the Winter Soldier: Heâs an assassin, often working for Hydra. He has killed or maimed politicians and secret agents alike, most recently heâd been after Alexander Pierce. Everyone knows about Iron Man: Heâs a villain, although some people want to call him vigilante. He blows up Stark Industriesâ facilities and takes apart crime syndicates. When they meet, it seems unlikely that their goals align, but they might have more in common than they know. But, you canât just trust a villain, can you? Picture: In a dark room, Iron Man is aiming a repulsor at the Winter Soldier. The soldier is almost hidden in the darkness of the room, looking serious, and armed with knife and gun. Warnings: Limitations: Please let it end somewhat happy. Please no MCD, or actually evil Tony and Bucky. A/N: brainstorming together is one of my favourite things.
Title: Concubine AU Description/Prompt: When Bucky gets sold as a concubine, he already knows how this works: keep your head down and hope his new master doesnât notice him too much. Getting noticed either brings pain, or pain and⌠other attention. Slowly, he notices that King Stark is not at all like the rumors suggested⌠The art is Bucky, posing with some jewellery and revealing clothes. Warnings: partial nudity? Limitations: No dubcon or noncon between Bucky and Tony, dark Tony, major character death, or too much gore. A/N: Dark themes are fine though. Maybe some pain, some recovery? I usually like stories where they grow to love each other before they end up having sex.â¨Stuckony is also an option. Iâd love to talk about ideas and plot!
Title : Fateful Encounters Description/Prompt : Iron Man AU Tony and Bucky meet at the gala. Bucky is a businessman like Tony. They end up liking each other a lot. Everyone is human. Bucky likes riding bikes just like Tony loves cars. Tony becomes iron man but he himself destroys the suit after Stane is dead. He doesnât believe the world needs that kind of technology. Stark industries also goes into making better medical equipmentâs.  So, the only ones who know about him being iron man are Rhodey, Pepper and later Bucky.  Iron man becomes an urban legend of sorts. They date for a while and when they decide to move things further itâs very special for both of them. Bucky is extremely proud to learn that his boyfriend had been iron man. He realizes that himself as he spends time with Tony. A year or two later Tony develops  MCU stabilized extremis and gets rid of the arc reactor. This knowledge he does share with the medical community. Warnings : No Warnings Limitations : I donât want these two pairings in the story in any way or form. Not even a slight mention. Not even as a joke or an offhand comment. Nothing. Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanoff Tony Stark and Sunset Bain No Steve and Loki bashing. If the latter isnât even in the story, thatâs fine. No cheating, non-con, child abuse and alcohol abuse. A/N : Happy ending for the story.  And there are two more pieces of art.
Title: Long Distance Disaster [working title] Description/Prompt: Still struggling with guilt and/or due to pressure from the government, Bucky agrees to go on a long term mission to space. Tony is very unhappy to be left alone. Long distance relationships are tough; even more so when Buckyâs mission ends in a fiery crash leaving Bucky seriously injured and Tony afraid that heâs about to lose the love of his life. Format: Video, expected final length roughly 4:30 minutes. Clips primarily drawn from Iron Man (1, 2, and 3), The Soloist, Political Animals, The Martian, and Gossip Girl. Audio drawn from the same sources as the clips, as well as Ally McBeal, and the song âIf Thereâs A Rocket Tie Me To Itâ by Snow Patrol. Warnings: Established relationship, guilt, near-death-experience/serious injury, relationship drama, hospitals, angst. Limitations: Happy endings only. Iâd strongly prefer that either Civil War never happened, or the fic is set far enough past it that it doesnât come up at all. No bashing of other characters/ships, especially Pepper and Tony should be on good/friendly terms if sheâs around in the fic. A/N: Iâd love to brainstorm/discuss the fic. I tried to leave it as flexible and open as possible and I donât expect the fic to necessarily follow the video exactly.
Title : Fools in love Description/Prompt :Â Bucky and Tony have a friends with benefits kind of relationship. Bucky went through a very bad break up with his boyfriend and it hurts Tony to see him like that. Â Heâd liked him for a while. They end up sleeping together and come to an arrangement of sorts. Tony is literally like : Iâll take what I can get. He is not going to burden Bucky with his feelings when he is going through such a hard time. Â Tony is usually sad and heâs virgin too. One day it gets too much and Bucky sort of shouts at Tony. Tony starts crying. Bucky realizes he loves Tony and berates himself for not realizing Tony had always loved him. They are both engineers and enjoy reading a lot. They are in their twenties. Warnings : No Warnings Limitations : I donât want these two pairings in the story in any way or form. Not even a slight mention. Not even as a joke or an offhand comment. Nothing. Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanoff Tony Stark and Sunset Bain No Steve and Loki bashing. If the latter isnât even in the story, thatâs fine. No cheating, non-con, child abuse and alcohol abuse. A/N : Happy ending for the story. Â And there are two more pieces of art.
Title: Winter Piano Teacher [working title] Description/Prompt: Concerned for her son, Maria Stark decides that Tony needs more in his life than computers and robots. Little does she know that HYDRA has taken the opportunity to install a sleeper agent in the Stark household. Tony certainly didnât expect to fall in love with his enigmatic, volatile piano tutor. Format: Video, expected final length roughly 2 minutes. Clips and audio primarily drawn from Political Animals, Ally McBeal, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, piano instrumental music, and âThe Winter Soldierâ theme. Warnings: brainwashing, deception, implied abuse, typical winter soldier stuff Limitations: In this AU I do not want Bucky to be responsible for the Stark parentsâ death. Happy endings only. Tony cannot be younger than 17; I would prefer he be 21. A/N: I would love to brainstorm/talk over the fic together. I have 2-3 of âfixed pointsâ of the plot that are important to me but I tried to leave as much of it open to the authorâs discretion as possible. You donât have to follow everything shown in the video exactly.
Title: Mob Mentality Description/prompt: Comic panel style. First panel sees Steve, Bucky, and Natasha entering. All look angry. There is evidence of blood on them. Second panel shows bound hands, obviously injured and bleeding from the ropes that tie them. Third panel has a furious Bucky screaming ,âWhere is he?!â Fourth shows Tony looking down, distraught, but he raises his head at something, saying âBucky?â Last panel isnât sketched out quite yet, but I plan to have them embracing. Warnings: Blood, though not gallons of it or anything. Implied violence that is off panel. Limitations: Happy ending. No infidelity. No graphic or gratuitous torture. No death of main characters. A/N: I personally headcanon this as a Mob AU (as evidenced by the name) but I would be happy with any story the art inspires! Art
Title: Rocket Science Description/Prompt: Tonyâs at MIT, sleep deprived on the first day of classes, and ends up walking into an intro to physics course and taking a seat next to freshman Bucky. Tony becomes aware of things half-way through class, realizes heâs in the wrong place (he doesnât even *have* class at this time!), and has a moment of panic/annoyance. Bucky thinks Tonyâs having trouble following the lecture, and offers to study with him. Tony almost blows him off but âoh no heâs cute.â Cue Tony having to attend a class he doesnât take and play dumb through tutoring/study sessions he doesnât need in order to have an excuse to hang out with Bucky (but heâs SO BORED and itching to show Bucky some good shortcuts and correct his math). (Art description: Tony and Bucky are seated at a library table, disposable coffee cups, books, and notes strewn across it. Bucky is pointing something out to Tony in a textbook, while Tony looks on attentively. Both are college age. Buckyâs left sleeve is pinned up; heâs an amputee.) Warnings: none Limitations: no big age gap, no ABO âverse, no unhappy endings A/N: Any additions of identity porn (i.e. Bucky doesnât realize heâs been tutoring the famous genius heir to the Stark empire) would be welcome; the prompt is open to discussion (nothingâs set in stone). Iâd love to be included in the brainstorming if possible. :D
Title: Mafia!au Description/Prompt: Â Tony is seated in a chair with a gun in one hand pointing towards viewer, while Bucky is in a suit standing to behind his left shoulder. Â I was thinking Mob Boss!Tony with Bucky as enforcer/bodyguard/something like that. Warnings: I donât think any, but there is a gun being pointed at someone off-screen Limitations: Â No MCD please, I am fine with smut as long as there is no bottom!tony, other than that canât think of anything right now- I am pretty open A/N: Look forward to working with you!
Title: No title yet
Description/Prompt: Tony learns about his parentsâ murder and, against Natashaâs warnings, decides to go looking for the Winter Soldier. When he finds him in cryosleep in the hidden depths of a Hydra base, he rashly decides to wake him upâŚ
Submission is a fanvid, so warning to the author that thereâs only so much flexibility with the plot because of needing to stay close to the source material, but Iâm excited to work with them to figure out how the fanvid will go :)
Warnings: None
Limitations: No Mpreg
Title: Escape from the Murderbots (working title) Description/Prompt: Tony and Bucky stand together, Tony is slightly in front, holding a strange piece of tech in his right hand, there is bandage around his left bicep, and the arc reactor is visible through his tank top. Bucky stands on his left, touching Tonyâs shoulder. Buck is only wearing  a pair of drawstring sweatpants; he is pointing to the left, out of frame, with his metal hand, there is a cuff of some sort on his metal wrist. In front of them and behind them are hovering drones, pointing guns at them. The background is a dark, futuristic cityscape with lit up signs advertising 'Viastone - Bring Your Dreams to Lifeâ, and other slogans. Warnings: None that Iâm aware of. Canon typical peril? Limitations: No major character death. No non-con between Tony and Bucky. No dark!Tony or dark!Bucky. Also, no character bashing, please. Definitely would like a happy ending. A/N: The Viastone signs havenât been worked in yet, and can be changed to a different company, or Hydra, or something completely different, if that fits better with your plot or ideas, I just kind of liked the potential creepiness of Dream vision, also Ty as Tonyâs creepy ex could be interesting. I donât really have an idea of a plot, just the concept of a vaguely cyberpunk scene in which Tony and Bucky are being pursued by flying drones that want to shoot them, so feel free to go wherever that takes you. Iâd love to hear what ideas you have.
Title: Dr Dolittle AU
Description/Prompt: Fluff/ crack
If powered AU i.e. Avengers-compliant AU(sans TS as Iron Man)- On the day before the fateful night that Howard and Maria would have died, Tony dropped the bombshell that he was going to become a vet instead? Howard was too busy calling up lawyers and ranting at the sky about disowning Tony to drive them to their deaths. WS waits by the road until he gets bored, murders his handlers and runs away? Else post CA-WS?
WS!BB has been in hiding at a special needs animal sanctuary (for lots of pics - goats of anarchy, edgarâs mission) that TS volunteers at, doing check ups and fitting  prosthetics.
Does WS!BB approach the vet about a new arm? Does WS ever get the goats to stop eating his sleeves off? Will they ever get the animals to stop tripping them up and falling into compromising positions atop each other?
Hilarity ensues. Also probable pining, bored match-making goats who are fed up of their caretakers.
(Besides designing prosthetics for animals, Tony also makes collars for animals that translate thoughts into speech, like Dug in Up or soft-cyber implants from Rats,Bats & Vats, gaining him the nickname Dr Dolittle? Animals love him regardless, like heâs a Disney Princess) Healthcare for animals is incredibly technologically advanced and has to be reverse engineered for human usage lol? If non-powered au, anything you like! just crack/ fluff about mutual pining between volunteers at special needs animal shelter? Itâs like a coffee shop- meet cute AU but with additional baby goats playing the floor is lava.
Warnings: -
Limitations: Stark seniors not murdered by Winter Soldier. No bad endings, dub-con/non-con, a/b/o
A/N: Super secret super-soldier serum picked up by SHIELDRA since Howard was too busy rage screaming. Results in more Shieldra supersoldiers in Avengers Initiative? Howard designs Ironmonger? Chitauri Battle of NY, no nukes? Alternatively Hulk or heroic Vanko in Iron Man suit launches the nuke through the portal? Jarvis the alpaca- Just A Really Very Intelligent South-american-camelid? You is an ewe? DumE, a very recalcitrant llama wielding a mean wrench? Butterfingers? The universe is saved from Thanos by an enraged herd of enhanced llamas? https://i.redd.it/8vncab0cz3jz.jpg
Sorry, itâs all crack, feel free to yell at me if it decides to consume your brain
Title: Fantasy - Dragonrealm/ Forgotten Realms??? inspired AU Description/Prompt: Undead dragon/ dracolich, the Red Skull, captures other dragons and restores his rotting body with parts carved from his prisoners. Mage-knight/Artificer (Tony) rescues an imprisoned dragon(Bucky) from the clutches of the Red Skull and his cult(Hydra). image desc - A dracolich confronting two men(backs facing viewer). One is injured and leaning on the other who has his hand raised with a spell. Warnings: not in image, but for story - likely to have mentions of torture and non-consensual body modification Limitations: no dub-con, non-con, vore, a/b/o, protagonist death A/N: In the Dragonrealm series, drakes can take the alternate form of a fully armoured knight.â¨In Forgotten Realms, dracoliches are usually surrounded by a cult that worships them (and performs the phylactery transfer process)â¨http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Dracolich Prompt completely open for discussion/reworking, words hard, please message
Title: Loving a Vampire Description/Prompt: Bucky is a vampire, Tony is a human. They meet, eventually fall in love, wear 'wedding bandsâ on chains around their necks. Warnings: N/A Limitations: N/A A/N: Would like more angst and drama than fluff, preferred rating for fic would be M or higher.
Title: And From The Dark Description/prompt: The prompt that inspired me was actually a writing one that went along the lines of: âdo you want to die?â âthatâs a loaded question, if I say no that means I want to be immortal. If I say yes that means Iâm suicidal.â Iâm imagining a demon/fantasy Au(However I am open to Tony messing around with things he shouldnât and being transported to this place via science/magic) and the image itself is of Tony and Demon!Bucky on a balcony in a cavern, with Bucky leaning over Tony holding his chin. Maybe Tony has entered their domain for some reason? Or is trying get out to surface? And encounters Bucky. Warnings: little bit of blood. (Not much tho, a couple small injuries) Limitations: none that I can think of. A/N: I am a big fan of darker works and would love to see where this could go. Iâm more than willing to help brainstorm if the author is open to that. And beta if needed.
Title: Found in an Alley Description/Prompt: Bucky is broke and wandering around the alleys when he finds android Anthony. Warnings: Nudity (not explicit) Limitations: N/A A/N: Author will pretty much have free reign on what they want to write, prefer that the fic itself be rated Teen or higher
Title: Mission in space Description and/or prompt: Bucky and Tony are on another planet, wearing spacesuits. They are looking at a strange flower. There are mountains and a starry sky with two moons in the background. What are they doing there and what is the plant? Â Warnings: - Limits: No major character death or super dark fic or unhappy ending please! A/N: Iâm open to most everything! Things I like but donât need to be included are plotty fic, humor, fluff and pining :D
Title: Reactive Art descriptions: Bucky, holding the arc-reactor in his hands, flames on one side, smoke on the other./ Bucky crying, the black mask still covering his face. Art prompt: Partially Infinity-War compliant (except for the ending). After the initial battle, the team regroups and discovers that Tony is still missing. Bucky embraces his old identity as the Winter Soldier to track Tony down. Itâs the only way he can set his morals aside and do what he has to do to bring Tony back. (I am open to other prompts based on the art description - happy to work with the author to come up with something different!) Warnings: n/a Limits: None. All Authorâs choice. A/N: Would love for this to be a dark fic, possibly with major injury and/or a death scare. Angst and hurt/comfort preferable. Happy ending or not, authorâs choice. Art is about 90% complete, although I may want to create more pieces depending on where the author goes with the story.
Title: By the Glittering Sea Description: Bucky is a newly hired employee of an aquarium, and he quickly realizes that they have some interesting exhibits. Mainly the one with a large tank in the middle of the entrance floor, showcasing a merman, who looks very unhappy to be there. He then realizes that he needs to get him out, with the help of his friends, of course. Warnings: None that apply so far Limitations: No rape/ non-con, or major character death. A/N: Tony is obviously the merman in the situation, but whoever writes the story can figure out how they get him out and what will happen if they do.
Title: Ill met by Moonlight Description: Tony finds a transformed Bucky in a cage at an 'abandonedâ hydra base, who is stuck behind a huge bulletproof glass coating. In any way the author wants it, they escape and the rest of the story will be about Tony and Bucky learning to heal together. Warnings: There will be violence, nothing out of the ordinary for the Marvel universe. Limitations: No rape/non-con, or major character death. A/N: I based Buckyâs werewolf form loosely off of the Skyrim werewolves.
Title: Those Soft Petals Description: Tony slowly realizes, to his horror, that heâs fallen for James âBuckyâ Barnes. The only problem with that is =, Bucky seems to despise him. He doesnât like him because of what he did to Steve and Bucky that fateful night in the abandoned Hydra bunker. Of course, Tony still has nightmares from that night, of the blood, filling his lungs as he truly believed he was going to die, but now isnât the time for that. RIght now he needs to figure out why heâs coughing up these damn flowers. Warnings: Tony does what severe PTSD from that night, piled on top of the Afghanistan hostage situation from years ago. Limitations: No rape/non-con, or major character death. A/N: You can choose a different flower if youâd like, but I think the peony would be good, considering itâs the state flower of Indiana.

Steven Gerrard:â Thereâs a showboating attitude in establishments. My crews will be physicalâ
The former Liverpool captain talks about his new capacity as tutor of the squads under-1 8s, why young participates should not try to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo and why he turned down the MK Dons job
Steven Gerrard holds conviction should be reserved on his attributes as a manager until his tactical decisions, his leadership from the sidelines and his mistakes have been thoroughly questioned. That will come next season as manager of Liverpool Under-1 8s, where sentence on what must be has already been moved. There is a showboating mentality through establishments, claims Gerrard. My squads will be physical.
The firstly of what Gerrard hopes is likely to be several managerial paces at Liverpool was approved on Thursday with a attached role with the under-1 8s. The current under1 8s administrator, Neil Critchley, will extend the under-2 3s next season, with Mike Garrity who has been in the berth since Michael Beale endeavoured to So Paulo in December becoming part of Critchleys backroom team. Both ought to have shadowed by the former Liverpool and England captain since he returned to the fraternity in February.
The academy director, Alex Inglethorpe, reached the appointments of collaborating with Jrgen Klopp, who has been closely involved in Gerrards transition from idol officer to manager of starry-eyed children. Jrgens been the key behind all this, acknowledges the 36 -year-old, who will be assisted by the current under-1 3s manager, Tom Culshaw, and the rehab fitness tutor Jordan Milsom. It was the Liverpool managers impression to pass Gerrard an initial drift capacity across all academy age groups and, impressed by the hours and the employment put in, considering the fledgling coach ready for the next, more challenging step.
Gerrard clarifies: I spoke to Jrgen and we agreed after a few schmoozes that the 18 s was the right age group because it still gives people a bit of a spotlight with the coverage it gets but it is a place where you can make a lot of mistakes and grow and learn. Every manager and tutor I have spoken to has said I will make loads of mistakes, and your first occupation is better to be away from the cameras. The other offers I get[ controlling MK Dons ], it would have been memorizing on the job at the deep resolve and I probably wasnt ready for those enterprises. I might have been but I didnt want to take any risks, specially when there is no timescale or propose of where I want to be in a certain time, so the 18 s moved sense.
It has been really good so far. I have been shadowing five or six coaches at the establishment and been mentored by Steve Heighway and Alex as well. I am still waiting to start in terms of has become a No1 coach that guides a unit. Shadowing seems a bit different, I am more in the background. I havent had to making such a large-hearted decisions, or any substitutions, patterns or tactics yet.
Shadowing has not contained Gerrards influence alone, however. The former midfielder was immediately struck by the lack of physicality at academy tier, a frequent mourn from many Premier League administrators while the Football Association strives to improve the technical abilities of English talent. In an under-1 8s fixture against Manchester City in March, he called for and received greater severity from the Liverpool actors as City were drummed for the first time in 28 months. Gerrard expected the same the following week against Manchester United old-fashioned wonts and antagonisms die hard and the 2-2 glean substantiated a pitiless meeting. Adam Lewis, a lifelong Liverpool fan who idolises Gerrard, was moved off after 30 times for a dangerous tackle.
We work on 50 -5 0s, Gerrard jokes. As a participate I get many, many undertakes incorrect and went over the top a few epoches and I had to apologise. That is not something I want to put into young participates at all but you have to prepare them for the highest level and the highest level is physical and demanding. It is not just about tackles and rivalling. It is about trying to prepare them for the last five or 10 minutes of tournaments when it is hard and your legs are igniting and your middle is burning and it is not a neat residence is still in as a musician. You have to get them to be mentally strong prepare ourselves for that. I hate watching footballers and football when there is no physical surface and you dont compete.

There is a showboating attitude through academies. A lot of minors think they have to do 10 lollipops or Cruyff moves to examine good or stand out. We all enjoy a bit of knowledge and endowment but the other side of video games is massive. I have to try and prepare these participates for business in the game. Not all of them will play for Liverpools first team but I detect if I can help them is participating in the other side of the game it will help their business. Maybe it[ showboating] comes from video game, I dont know. There are a lot of skilful participates that young actors try and emulate probably too much instead of playing to their own strengths. They try and simulate their recreation on players like Ronaldo whereas you have to look at yourself and say: What have I got? What are my strengths? How can I improve my weakness and become a participate in my own claim?
Gerrard, who expects to complete his Uefa A licence by the end of this season, continues: I like streetwise footballers. I conclude all the pinnacle musicians come from the street, that type of actor. The kids in our establishment are coming into an unbelievable situate to make, they are getting boss meat, they are getting picked up and the full-time fellows get a lot more coin than we got when we started. There is a case that they get a bit too much too soon. They get into a solace zone of working in the area of a charming residence and then it is a big appall for them when they have to move on or get released. Ive met a lot of participates come out of the academy with huge honours and go into the Melwood dressing room. Then it is submerge or swimming and a lot of them sink.
The intensity of Liverpool youth fixtures is not all that has changed since Gerrard reverted from LA Galaxy. He himself has had to tailor-make his coaching methods for the purposes of the tutelage of the associations academy administrator. Gerrard excuses: Alex has been first-class and Ive had a lot of feedback. Hes been honest and straight-shooting with me. He has spoken to me about my body language on the side in coaching hearings. He too talked to me about my coaching voice. He craves it to be the same as it was when I was a actor, when I was captain.
Unsurprisingly, Gerrard has learnt aspiring youngsters to be a bit shy in the presence of Liverpools commanding former skipper. But formerly they know you are approachable they get comfortable very quickly, he says. We have to wait and hear[ what his strengths are as a coach-and-four] but you have to be approachable. The best managers I worked with were all exceedingly approachable, honest and fair, and always gave me feedback whether it was positive or negative.
There is a danger, of course, that a manager of Gerrards status will be measured by the immediacy of results at under-1 8 height and not on musician evolution. He accepts it comes with, if not the job, then his decision to pursue a vocation in managing when so many of his peers have preserved away. None of that worries me or scares me, he says. If it is my fault we get flog thats fine. Its about the players and their development.
Id love to see a participate I coach making such a first-team entry because it is a life-changer. Becoming your debut for a squad this length changed my life and Ill be pleased for that teenager and members of their families because it is an unbelievable circumstance to do. Building my introduction here was one of the best days of âpeoples livesâ. But they will have to fight for it because it is not easy.
