I'm laughing because I legit didn't realize the parallel I made with this concept. Just imagine they've gotten on this ship, a smooth military outfit, and they get settled into a lounge. Their escort officer leaves and Heith is kind of kicking her feet and looking around, and then she locks in on Marcus and says, "so you dipped too?"
Which is not an accurate assessment of the situation in which he left Iecunem but it is still a one hit KO
I have come to some conclusions about Marcus and his story that I think are going to pay off.
In AOM:
He and Horatio don't have a romantic thing going on but they are extremely cuddly friends which also makes them the perfect pair for Sid to misinterpret. Which I think is a useful setup for Sid's whole deal and also gives me the soft nonsense I desire
Sid probably still ends up hiding at Sorian's house but for any kind of long-term parent evasion he would have to go to Marcus's because his parents would never look there. Still looking for a good excuse to make that happen. Sid and Marcus should also be friends and not just in a "thanks for testing my hair dye" kind of way
In Marcus's own as-yet-unnamed story:
In previous versions his love interest was a Hallmark-movie businesswoman type who was learning to pay attention to her own needs and desires, so that when Marcus was forced to tell her his deep dark secrets it was like she was getting her hard-won happiness stolen away from her. But I don't want to write that anymore and I want a story that is more about both of them. So I present to you:
Love interest is the bat-eared fox shifter I mentioned earlier, named Heith (for now at least - I might change my mind but that was her name in the last version). They're a traveling punk singer who is touring Aephar. Probably they look badass as fuck when shifted because that's a lot of ear real estate for piercings.
As they start to form a romantic connection Marcus is constantly worried that she's not gonna like some aspects of his life that he's not willing to give up/compromise on, like the aforementioned friendship with Horatio. But she keeps being so chill about everything, like nothing is ever a problem to her, and he slowly accepts that maybe this whole "finding love in a faraway system" thing isn't so hard.
This was the end of their tour, but Heith keeps putting off going home and her band leaves her behind to go back to whatever island they came from (believe it or not Imni and Aephar are not the only islands on Rade). She doesn't seem bothered by this either. It starts to become clear (at least to the reader) that whenever things get hard, she just dips from relationships, but things haven't gotten hard with him yet.
But then (spoilers I guess?) a military escort ship arrives from Iecunem and Marcus has to explain that the general belief that he was escaping shitty parents or a shitty job or maybe even the law when he left Iecunem is only a sliver of the story. His awful manipulative mother is now dead, and he's the heir to her kingdom. Not only that, but he has multiple spouses there and multiple children that are legally considered his. He tries to explain the complexities of this and that he'll be right back after he goes to the funeral and abdicates to his sister, but it doesn't seem like Heith is going to wait that long to disappear.
And this time, no one would really blame her if she did. This is a lot of stuff to suddenly digest. But she's also been here long enough to have considered not just running away. At the eleventh hour she shows up at the warp station to join Marcus on his trip back to Iecunem. Horatio high key had not realized that Marcus had only intended to take one other person on this trip, but when Marcus insists that he stay and take care of their collective plants instead of going to Iecunem he's also kind of relieved because he doesn't really trust anyone else with them.
Shifters taglist: @outpost51 @kk7-rbs
#it's a genuine question. also a joke. and very clearly implying that he's a hypocrite#hits him right in the backstory#I think he thought he explained it well enough before. he did not. and also she wasn't listening very well after 'I'm married'#c: Heith#c: Marcus#wip: iecunem

His feet have taken him to The Hostess. He's not sure why. Bell isn't going in, he doesn't want to risk seeing the Proprietress - not that he's quite sure why that is either, he knows last time he went here, she and him had a. very strange talk. And then she threw a cleaver at him. And then he hadn't gone back since.
So he's not sure why his wanderings (Heith was gonna throttle him when she noticed he was gone) had taken him here, of all places.
Or, quite frankly, why he'd even gone before.
Curse things, no doubt.
Still. He finds himself... not content, as that implies some manner of positive relation, but... unable to help himself but to stand across the street and just. Watch. Observe.
Feeling oddly hollow inside.
Then there comes a twitch from somewhere inside himself, and finally, he finds himself wandering off.
He'll blame it on the fever, later.
Observers will blame it on Freya.
#pt; mainverse#I wanted to write something vaguely plotty so have this#not PLOT plot but like#if Ais could get caught up halfway to remembering shit#then it follows that maybe Bell could as well#even if only a little bit#Freya likely keeping a damn close eye on him though#I'm not 100% sure how the charm works#I remember implications that Freya can tell what's going on#through the charm somehow#at least in the show#so I'm playing with that a bit#I doubt Freya would interfere much with Bell's mind#she's very clear she wants Bell untouched and unaltered#but sometimes you gotta nudge a guy away from Reminders~

Honestly, Bell rather felt the same way. He didn't know too much of their histories in detail, just the broad strokes, but what he did know implied that, yes, the two were brutally strong even before getting their Falna.
"Please be nice to them, Lili?" He asked, upon noticing the look she was shooting the man with. "They were only doing what they weer told to. By their Goddess! And - and they did stop, eventually. Well, sort of. Besides," He began, giving Hogni a grateful look, "Hogni never fought. That I saw. With me. Hedin did, but Hogni usually healed me before even Heith could get to me." Maybe it was why he was so fond of the man - growing to associate him with safety, with protection.
Slotting the role of 'guardian' underneath Hogni's name, somebody he could go to and feel assured that he would be safe there. Bell had to wonder how Freya would have felt about that - about not being the only source of comfort he'd had. Not pleased, he'd bet.
"But I think that's... everything I really want to say right now? Unless you guys have other questions. I wanna talk the other things through with Hogni first. Or Hedin, if he's willing to listen, but... either way. I-it's a - a thing I really should talk with them about, first. Then you guys, once I've... figured out how to... bring it up? Iiin a way that won't sound really really bad."
The more Bell talked about training with Freya Familia, the harder Lili's stare at Hogni got--who was looking in the completely opposite direction of her, fully aware that she was apparently trying to glare right through his soul. While she was only level 2, her protectiveness over Bell only increased after this whole Freya ordeal. Hedin was going to be getting some stares, too.
"...Just knowing the smallest sliver of their histories, I'd imagine training with them would be difficult. They'd been warring for so long on that island, that they were practically compared to adventurers that already had Falna, even though they didn't, at that time." She paused, then blinked.
"O-oh! I probably shouldn't talk about someone's past when they're right in the room with us! Pardon my rudeness, Mr. Hogni!"
Still actively trying to ignore Lili, he muttered, "bear it no mind..."

Shiro's Turn, Tumblr AU Shance
Shiro is Gay™ basically —————————- Shiro sipped his coffee while scrolling through his Tumblr, his brother asleep on the couch behind him. He was visiting for a week, since his brother was a bit of a hot gay mess and Shiro was mainly his emotional support.
Keith was currently pining after someone named Hunk who worked at a bakery, and when Keith started pining he usually ended up forgetting to take care of himself. Which was where Shiro came in.
For now, Shiro was content with answering Anon asks and the occasional doodle and reblog or like, eyes scanning the computer screen, slightly bored.
Unfortunately, he was taking a bigger gulp of his drink when he scrolled down enough to see the most gorgeous man that couldn’t possibly be real on his dash.
He inhaled too quickly and choked on his hot coffee, turning his head away to cough violently, brown liquid splattering onto the floor as Shiro hacked up his lungs.
His sudden loud bout of coughing startled Keith awake, the other man jolting up and flailing, falling off the couch with a startled yelp and a thud.
“Shiro! What the fuck, man?!?” Keith hissed, pulling himself up over the couch arm to glare at his older brother, furious at being woken up so rudely.
“Keith, I’m so fucking gay, holy shit-” Shiro wheezed through his tears, hand patting his chest as the coughing fit paused for a minute to let him breathe before starting up again.
“I knew that already, but why are we stating this fact again?” Keith questioned, raising an eyebrow at his dying brother.
Shiro merely pointed at the screen, still trying to get coffee out of his lungs.
Keith huffed and got to his feet, padding over to squint at whatever onscreen was making his brother react like this.
“Oh. It’s just a selfie of Lance?” He asked, blinking and turning to his brother.
Shiro had significantly recovered to the point of sitting upright again. “Yes? But he’s actually kinda hot?” The older man stated, rubbing his eyes clear of water to stare at the screen again.
The selfie was of BlueLionLance, and god he was adorable. Pretty blue eyes like the ocean, flawless tanned skin, brown hair that looked positively silky and soft, a bright grin with perfect white teeth and dimples. He was positively gorgeous, probably spent a lot of time taking care of his skin what with how smooth it looked.
Shiro’s fingers twitched, itching to feel Lance’s skin and hair in person to see if the other man was as soft to touch as he looked.
Keith took one look at the sappy, lovestruck look on his brother’s face and sighed.
“I’ll go get the ice cream, we can pine together on the couch and watch crappy romance movies.” He stated, already moving to the fridge.
Shiro smacked his head down onto the computer desk with a groan.
“Yeah. Good idea.” ————————————— Shiro POV, he’s a thirsty boy, poor baby. I’ll probably make an info list for this later, for worldbuilding. Hope you enjoyed! Wonder what I should do next for this….. oooohh, maybe a con! I’ve always wanted to try writing out one of those! :3

Voltron Pokémon AU
...that I’ll never actually write so here is a summary/bullet point/outline thing
Summary:
Wild Pokemon in the Altea region begin to turn up without any power, unable to fight, and completely helpless. Professor Sam Holt and his children are the first to discover them, and together they search for a cure.
Meanwhile, Team Galra finds wild pokemon will no longer fill their needs and begin to steal the quintessence from trained pokemon. Once word spreads, five unsuspecting trainers are summoned by the elite four to help defeat the threat. Not only must team Galra be stopped, but they need to discover a way to return the stolen quintessence to the pokemon.
There is a rumor of an ancient pokemon named Voltron, a pokemon strong enough to defeat Team Galra and restore stolen quintessence. Too bad it is only a rumor. Or is it?
With the guidance of the mysterious Allura and Coran of the elite four, the five trainers set out to save the Altea Region.
Pairings: Implied past Keith/Shiro. Probably Heith and either Pance or Shance as endgame, but the romance is such a minor background thing I never put much into it. Could just stay platonic.
Katie/Pidge: grass/bug types
Everything was peaceful in the Altrea region, so much so no one would believe young Katie Holt when she discovered pokemon unable to fight.
Her father, Professor Holt, thinks it is a simple anomaly and keeps it in his lab, “It can't survive in the wild. It's a miracle it has managed this long.”
Professor Holt and his colleagues in town, including their gym leader, Sendak, come to the conclusion it is a new disease.
But Katie isn't having it, something is wrong.
Seriously wrong.
But when Katie discovers a 2nd, then 3rd… she declares there is something amiss. But what?
What could cause pokemon to lose their power?
Even if no one will want to believe her, her father supports her decision to go in search of more data.
Determined to find the source of the weakened wild pokemon, Katie set out with just her trusted pokemon and her wits.
She heads further East, back into the wooded mountains where she discovered the first helpless Pokemon
Sam Holt, her father is unable to reach her after the first three days
Her brother sends word to his best friend, Shiro, in hopes of keeping her safe- but Shiro is on the West side of the region. Matt is already on a research mission, and alters his course to try and find and help Katie.
Shiro: Steel/Fighting types
Across the region, Shiro discovers a weakened wild pokemon.
Despite once being one of the top authorities on Pokemon, he is retired from training and doesn't have the supplies to care for it.
Yes, he was a legend by the time he was 19
He tries to call Matt, but the phone system has been on the fritz for the last couple weeks.
He takes the injured pokemon to the poke center in his town, but they can not help.
“Everything is fine, maybe it is just weak and needs trained,” the nurse means well, but Shiro can sense her inexperience.
He may have let people believe he was dead...
After a bad breakup, he moved and never responded to media requests
Same media ran a story saying he was dead
He didn’t care, so he didn’t correct them
Only the Holts knew he was alive
Matt likes to call him “The youngest hermit I know”
Keith: Fire/poison types
Lives in the town on the outskirts of natural hot springs.
They are dangerous and highly acidic, but he enjoys the pokemon found in the area. And it is quiet. Quiet enough he can relax and enjoy his solitary life.
A few weeks after moving here he began to feel a pull towards the cave system behind the springs.
He spends his days exploring and mapping, but can't pinpoint why he is drawn to the area.
The last thing he needs is Shiro showing up with a pokemon with a mysterious injury. But also- Shiro is ALIVE?
Oh man, is he pissed and happy and completely overwhelmed
Hunk: Rock/Fairy types
Was on track to be a top poke engineer, but he decided a quiet life would be better for him.
He still occasionally tinkers, but doesn't want the attention which would come from his inventions.
He currently runs a battle restaurant and pokemon spa in the largest city in the region.
Everything was going swell- his best bro worked across the street, business was booming, and he was able to try new recipes each week.
Then, the powerful trainer, and current leader of the elite four, Zarkon shows up, demanding a dish he doesn't have the ingredients for.
Denying Zarkon would spell disaster for his business, he would surely be shunned.
So, he does the sensible thing and heads west to gather the rare ingredients from the acidic hot springs. Anything to save his restaurant from certain doom.
Lance: Water/Flying
Just won (okay it was passed down to him from his grandpa) the title of Gym leader.
His gym is right across from Hunk’s restaurant.
Battling has been hard
He lost one and gave up a gym badge
Hunk tries to get him to understand he can lose now and then. Thats why there are badges
He has a lot to prove, to himself and his family.
And hey, running off with Hunk is just the right sort of distraction.
Team Galra
Team Galra, in their matching purple uniforms, harvest quintessence from stolen Pokemon.
Their leader, Zarkon is a power hungry asshole who is using the quintessence to power his pokemon.
With Haggar’s magic, he is able to transfer the quintessence from wild pokemon.
But that isn't enough, and eventually he becomes determined to be the only person with pokemon able to battle.
Allura: Fairy type
Unable to use the phone system, and on the run from Zarkon, she sends letters to the trainers she has been watching.
They are, she believes, the only chance they have to stop Zarkon and save the pokemon.
The Elite four has been comprised by Zarkon
She uses random trainers to deliver letters as they travel looking for the lions
giving them tips ext
eventually will meet up with them
Coran: ?
Protects Allura (she doesn't really need it though).
He is on the run with her, but is sent to find the trainers while she tries to locate the Galra base.
And the only way to restore the quintessence is to find the legendary pokemon, Voltron.
Which is actually the temporary formation of 5 separate lion pokemon. (Which the 5 paladins find on their journey)
It has a special move which restores stolen quintessence
But they need to locate Team Galra’s stores first
Starts with their intro chapters- basically the above minus Allura and Coran. Then:
Hunk and Lance show up as Keith and Shiro are examining the injured pokemon
The first lion is in the cave system near Keith’s home
Hunk is directed by someone at the pokecenter to see Keith about the ingredients he is looking for
Keith is more than happy to escort Hunk into the hot spings areas as a distraction from Shiro
And he charges for tours- gotta make a living somehow
Lance tags along- banter with Kieth
Hunk encourages Lance to not antagonize Keith since they need his help
Shiro comes with so Keith doesn’t run off before they solve/help the pokemon
Lance is nosy and asks whats up- is amazed when he finds out this is SHIRO
his hero
and he wants tips/ext on how to be a good gym leader but doesn't know how to ask and also HOW is Shiro alive? Where did he go? Did he fake his death?
Or was it all a rumor that got out of control??
While searching for the ingredients, they run into Team Galra Grunts
Ignore each other- Keith mutters about weirdo tourists
May have also been a jab at Lance
Find a cave with the right ingredients
follow/ext
Find Lion #1-- Blue
It won’t fight any of their pokemon, just stares at the group
Grunts show up
they fight and win- duh
Lance approaches the lion and it lets him touch it.
Hunk suggests using a ball
Lance catches it
He is silent on the way back to town, how could a pokemon like that choose him?
He can barely handle his gym
They (mostly Shiro and Hunk) discus what pokemon it is
Keith reminds them of the legend about the lions and mentions some writings he’s seen in the caves
Back East, Coran finds Katie.
She just took down a bunch of Galra Grunts and is working on analyzing the few files they had on them
Coran tells her what he knows (about Zarkon)
They meet up with Allura on the way down the mountain
Allura stresses the dangers of what is happening
Coran and Katie head West
Allura goes south to try to locate the other lions
Hunk wants to go home now that he has his ingredients- gotta save his restaurant
Lance agrees- wonders how Blue will handle at the gym
Keith and Shiro ask about heading there too
They hope to find answers at the research facility there
As they travel, Coran and Katie join them
They took a boat down the river to save time
Yes, it weirds them out that Coran knows who they are
“How is this good in the Elite Four”- Lance, Probably
Katie gives the info she gathered to Shiro
Okay, Keith is pissed because it is CLEAR she knew he was alive
They locate Lion 2 (Green/Katie) and 3 (Yellow/Hunk) on the way back to the main city
Mostly thanks to Allura’s secretive guidance and odd insistence of which trainer approach which lion
And okay- why are they trusting them?
Hunk: Because they are less scary than Zarkon
Shiro works with Coran to decipher Allura’s 3rd letter
Lance and Katie go find the Green Lion near the next town while the others train
Hunk and Keith go to the abandoned mines to their south to find Yellow
Hunk frets about his restaurant
Keith offers support
Galra Grunts and a boss at each Lion
4th Lion is found to the North of the main city
Red is temperamental and refuses Keith
As they argue about what to do, Zarkon shows up
Huge battle
Zarkon’s Pokemon are way stronger than normal
think robeasts
Red comes to defend them
Whoops butt
Zarkon escapes
Go to town
Here about trainers who’s pokemon suddenly can’t battle
Hunk invites them to his restaurant
Frets about Zarkon
Lance has a bunch of trainers waiting to fight him
oooooops
Shiro gives him encouragement
Lance decides to battle one trainer then call it a day
Lots of chat while eating
Keith opts to help Hunk in the kitchen to avoid Shiro
Lance picks Shiro’s brain on various topics
Lets it slip Hunk has some cool poke’gadgets
And yes, Shiro is very interested in the incubator thank you very much
Katie and Lance argue over the best pokemon training spots
She also has some ideas to improve the incubator
Hunk gives up trying to keep them away from his workshop downstairs
Distracts them temporarily with food
Allura shows up as they finish eating
And omg Hunk is an amazing cook
She tells them the last lion is in the city
It’s why Zarkon was hanging around
Black Lion is under the city
Maze of tunnels ext
Lots of Grunts
Allura and Coran stayed up top to fight Zarkon should he show up
Get Black Lion
Haggar and Grunts block their way out
Her pokemon are way stronger too
Hard fight, they win
Allura and Coran are missing when they return
A letter at the restaurant for them to train and figure out how to form Voltron
Train
Battle Restaurant, so plenty of opponents without needing to go out looking
Struggle over forming Voltron
Is the legend even true?
Lots of arguments between the five
Shiro and Katie team up to get them to work together
Shiro convinces Lance to try again
Katie real talks with Keith
She tells him to grow up and get over Shiro
And he has no reason to be upset over anything because he broke up with Shiro
Lance may have overheard and is a little jealous
Hunk is the one who finally calms Keith down enough to try Voltron again
He basically tells Keith to live in the now and not the past
They go outside and find a field
Get Voltron YAY
Damn that is one large pokemon
How do we control it?
Separates
Train some more
Take a break
Interlude chapter
Lance works on his gym
feels much more confident now
Hunk and Katie tinker a bit
Shiro disapears
Katie goes to watch/help Lance
Ends up being the gym helper who fights trainers before getting to the leader
Not many make it to Lance
Hunk shows Keith how to cook some basic dishes
Katie shows up just in time to eat those dishes
Lance and Shiro talk about his time “dead”
Shiro asks about his family and what his plans are for the gym
They figure out how to get their lion pokemon to merge and form Voltron
It gets easier
and lasts longer
They learn to control it
Test out returning quintessence to pokemon
It works!
They travel, trying to restore as many wild pokemon as they can
Allura finds them
Urges to go on the offensive against Zarkon
Otherwise, they will never win
They find Zarkon’s secret base
except it isn’t secret
its the elite four
he’s taken over the whole thing
Allura and Coran were the only ones to escape/oppose him
They fight their way through
Zarkon is at the end
fight through very strong Galra Grunts and Officers
All with altered pokemon which are very strong
They fight Haggar and Zarkon together
Form Voltron to defeat them
Almost lose
But they win
They set up a restorative center in the building next to Hunk’s restaurant
Trainers and researchers bring their pokemon for healing
Katie’s dad comes, apologizes for not believing her
Turns out their town’s gym leader, Sendak, was on team Galra and mislead them
Lance no longer feels like a fraud for being a gym leader
Katie offers to stay and help run it
Shiro is, well, in the news again. He debates running, but needs to face it
After this, he knows he needs to stay and help research
Plus, he made some great friends
Hunk’s battle restaurant is busier than ever
People want to battle the legendary pokemon
Keith says he will return to his shack by the hot springs
Hunk asks if he’d rather stay with him
To help with the restaurant. Totally just that.
Keith smiles and agrees, though it wouldn’t be just to help
Allura and Coran set to fixing the elite four
Ha, It got less detailed and more loopy towards the end. oh well. IDK what happened to Matt. I forget what he was going to do... oh well. Just another plot whole to go with this. I remember I had something planned for one of Hunk’s inventions, but I can’t remember WHAT.
I was going to write this for the voltron big bang, but it was more than I could handle at the time so I dropped out. I even had the outline mostly done, but I know my limitations... and well, after writing it all out I realized I wasn’t going to stay interested in it long enough to write it fully. It needs a lot of work with the details and names of things.
Feel free to use this in part or whole for your own fic, just please credit back.
#not a fic#Voltron legendary defender#Pokemon au#Past Sheith#implied heith#summary outline thing#i lost interest in writing this out#i have like 3 paragraphs of it written out#but I know some peeps were interested in this au#so#i don't want to just scrap it without sharing i guess

What’s the deal with American kpop fans and inappropriateness, and the discourse about Shiro’s ethnicity ? You’ve hinted at it in one of your (very good) posts about US-centrism and I’m intrigued. (The US-centrism on Internet both baffles and worries me.)
if I remember that post right, re the first question I was referring to stuff that a rl friend into kpop keeps on informing me of ie them basically applying american standards to korean people and/or canceling people for saying words that in korean mean like normal stuff but sound like english slur words (I mean there’a a swedish word that sounds like the italian for the female genitals, I wouldn’t go off on a swede for using it to mean GETTING A DRINK BEFORE DINNER) and that’s about the extent that I know remember as I’m not into kpop and I absolutely want to stay the hell out of it because kopo is dark and full of terrors, while re shiro... *sigh*
SO, WITH THE PREMISE THAT I lurked in voltron fandom and only saw the drama sideways, basically a bunch of people who.... liked a certain ship that wasn’t s*heith had it in for shiro and there were pearls such as:
'but he’s wearing eyeliner’ (because of the eyes’ shape like.... TAKASHI SHIROGANE GUYS HE’S JAPANESE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS)
at some point during... s6? s7? they decided that voltron was... not progressive enough or smth so they did the ‘fan version’ where the characters were renamed/half-redrawn and ofc that ship was canon/endgame and let’s say that shiro was renamed hachiko out of everything and I’m pretty sure I don’t have to explain the level of offensive that stuff is
after S2 and that you’re like a brother to me line there was the entire brogane controversy bc people decided that keith and shiro had to be actual brothers in the they’re related to each other sense too, because.... of course kogane and shirogane ending in gane are the same surname and it doesn’t absolutely imply that you think all asian people look alike and their names sound alike even if shiro’s obv japanese and I’m p sure keith was implied to have korean ancestry like it’s two fucking different countries what the fuck
I’m p sure there was plenty more of that fuckery but I forgot most of it and this was what I remember but I’m p. sure there were other unfortunate implications of this discourse regarding both him and keith but I entirely forgot them like sorry anon my brain is trying to forget it XD

Glimmer slumped forward into her seat and piled her bag of art and supplies onto the desk. Her teacher’s eyes flicked up directly in front of her, making it seem like a spotlight was shining over her head. Why did she have to sit right next to the teacher’s desk?
“Do you have a late pass?”
Her eyes snapped from side to side incredulously, “No?”
The teacher clucked, “Don’t sound so surprised- you’re late!”
“By two seconds! Besides,” she swung her arm out to draw Ms Weaver’s attention over to the two soccer girls chatting in the corner, “they’re not even sitting down!”
Ms Weaver’s scrutiny didn’t shift from Glimmer’s face for even a second, but the two girls were staring at her now. They were both wearing high-waisted shorts and the red shirts of the school soccer team- ever popular, ever beautiful. Adora was the taller of the two with blond hair kept tightly in a ponytail that hypnotized anyone who walked behind her with its rhythmic swing. She was Ms Weaver’s favourite and everybody knew it.
“Stop making a spectacle, Glimmer,” Weaver’s voice brought her back to the present, “Now, if you don’t mind, I would like to start the class.”
Glimmer huffed and glared at the other girl who was sticking her tongue out in her direction. Her name was Cateline or something like that but everybody just called her Cat.
Glimmer rolled her eyes and shifted to face the front of the room as the girls walked (or rather sashayed) to their seats and put her head down on her desk. She let her mind wander as Weaver’s voice droned on a few feet ahead of her. The paint spots splattering the canvas bag lying on her desk always became exponentially more interesting in her chemistry class. She hummed softly, rocking her head gently from side to side from where it rested on the crook of her bent elbow.
“... so I’ll be choosing your partners.”
Those cursed words brought Glimmer’s mind crashing back into focus. She shot up, “What?!”
Ms Weaver glared at her and hissed her words through gritted teeth, “Maybe if you payed attention you would know what’s going on.”
Glimmer sunk down into her seat and tried to hide her face behind her art bag, her face burning and her stomaching churning. She could hear the class giggling and snickering around her.
“Are there any relevant questions?”
Behind her there was movement.
In front, Weaver sighed, “Yes, Kyle?”
“When are we going to find out who we are partners with?”
“Now, actually,” Weaver reached for a paper, “Know that these are almost completely random- except for a few I know would have been disasters- and these are final- no changes, no negotiations. That being said: Cat, you’re with Scylar; Kyle, you’re with Lonnie...”
As she continued to read through the list of students, the pace of Glimmer’s tapping foot sped up as her anxiety grew proportionally higher.
“-and Adora, you’ll be with Glimmer...”
Glimmer groaned quietly and let her face sink even further into her arm.
Ms Weaver came to the end of her list and Glimmer felt her glare momentarily pause on her curled back as the woman scanned over the class, “Well? What are you waiting for? Get to your partners and get it work!”
The classroom erupted into scuffling chaos filled with “Should I move over there or do you want to come over here?” “Hey, that’s where I was going to sit!” and “Wait who’s my partner?”; Glimmer didn’t move.
The seat next to her that had recently been vacated was refilled by a hesitant red splotch in her peripheral vision. Glimmer refused to react, unsure of what to say or do in the presence of ‘Miss Perfect’ herself and instead continued staring at the plastic wood of the desk only inches from her face.
Weaver was moving towards her hunched form; her red pencil skirt swished and her red pumps tapped on the floor as she walked, stopping a little left of Glimmer.
“You know, Adora,” she purred, “I really am sorry you had to be paired with... her, but I think you’re the only one in the class who could pull it off.”
She wasn’t even trying to whisper or keep her voice down- she wanted Glimmer to know what a failure and a nuisance she was.
Glimmer couldn’t help but growl under her breath, a sound that didn’t even escape the suffocating cave of her arms she was creating around her head. It’s not like she asked to be here. In fact, she’d rather be in any other class, in any other situation, with any other partner.
Ms Weaver swished and tapped away into another direction; off to reign terror over some other poor student.
The sound of the classroom was reaching a volume hardly ever seen in the presence of Weaver- a kaleidoscope of yelling, and discussing, and laughing-the room was filled to the brim with noise. That is, filled everywhere except the roughly 5 square feet around her and Adora. There seemed to be a bubble around them filled with a sense of awkward uncertainty that muffled the sounds of the other partners.
A hand suddenly moved to place itself on Glimmer’s still-hunched shoulder and she flinched away, but it was too late. She couldn’t go back to pretending she was a tightly curled ball now that she had proved she could actually move.
She settled on rolling her eyes and letting out a huff, “What do you want?”
Adora blinked in surprise and Glimmer realized how harsh her tone had been- oh well.
“Oh! Well, um, to work together, I guess?”
Her voice was softer than Glimmer had been expecting, but Glimmer knew better. Her soft voice and pretty eyes and her charming laugh were all a cover up for what a snake she was. She had to be- that’s the only way somebody could possibly climb up the rigorous mountain that was high school’s social hierarchy.
“Fine. What do we need to do?” Blunt. Short. Simple. The sooner she could get this over with, the better.
Adora took a deep breath and spread her hands over the desk as if she were smoothing the folds in a skirt, “So we need to make a Bohr’s model of an element and then we need to make a poster about it with that information.”
She pointed to the projected screen and Glimmer looked up in that direction just long enough to registered the fact that there were words on the screen.
“K. I’ll do the model, you do the poster.”
“Oh,” Adora glanced down for a moment before looking at Glimmer again, “Ok. I wouldn’t mind working together more, though, if you wanted?”
“Nope. This is fine,” Glimmer turned to begin rummaging through her bag for her notebook as if she could pretend the other girl wasn’t sitting next to her.
“Do you know what the Bohr model looks like?”
Glimmer whipped around, seething and with her short, bobbed hair swinging against her cheekbones for a few moments in reaction to the sudden movement, “I’m not stupid.”
Adora was taken aback and a small amount of satisfaction seeped into Glimmer’s rage.
“I’m not stupid, I’m not lazy, I’m not useless! I’m not anything Ms Weaver or you and all your nasty little friends say about me!”
If Adora was taken aback before, she was shocked now, “I- I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to imply anything!”
What was that: scared? apologetic? Glimmer didn’t believe either.
Adora’s face seemed to glitch for a second, “Wait- we don’t say those things about you?”
“Yeah? Then what do you say?!”
“Uhhhh,” she bit her lip and looked from side to side, “No offense, but uh, we don’t really say anything about you.”
Glimmer let out a “humph” and rolled her eyes again. She was getting close to breaking her record for most eye rolls in a 20 minute period, “What element are we doing?”
“Oh, uh...”
Could she stop saying that? Could she stop acting like she was so surprised every time Glimmer opened her mouth?
“Well, we need to choose an element. Together.”
Yuck. If Glimmer ever heard Adora using the word ‘together’ in reference to the two of them again, she would probably (no, definitely) puke.
“What about Hydrogen; that’ll be the easiest, right?”
“I think Lonnie and Kyle already took it,” she gave an apologetic frown.
“Right, fine. Lithium?”
“Penelope and Maha.”
“Calcium?”
“Elizabeth and Heith.”
Glimmer let out an exasperated cry that sounded slightly like she was being strangled, “Sodium god damn it??”
“Noelle and Sebastian.”
“Heliu- wait. Noelle isn’t in our class! She isn’t even in our grade!”
“Oh yeah, haha...” She gave Glimmer an awkward grin as if that could explain whatever the hell she was trying to do.
“Ok, why are you lying to me about this stuff?! You’re obviously making up that list as you go along- there’s literally no way you could know what elements everybody has! So what are you trying at; do you want me to fail?”
Glimmer’s firery anger was exploding again, little flames of tone lashing out at Adora as she spoke. The other girl looked surprised, as if the idea had never occurred to her and that she hadn’t expected Glimmer to be mad about lying to her.
Surprise shifted to embarrassment and a red blush settled over Adora’s cheekbones.
Why did she have to look nice even when she was all red-faced and flustered? It wasn’t fair.
Adora was poking her two index fingers together as she spoke, “Ok so, I really wanted to do this one element, Bismuth, but I wasn’t sure if you’d go for it?”
Glimmer blinked at her; she didn’t have a clue about what was going on.
“Sorry,” Adora gave a lopsided grin to compensate for... whatever she had tried to do.
“Why? Why that element; what’s so special about it?”
Adora giggled and the blush deepened to to almost scarlet on her pale skin, “Ok so like, I’m gay and like, uh, it’s gay. Ya know, bi-smuth. I would prefer lesbian-smuth, haha but, oh well...”
She shot finger guns in Glimmer’s direction and tried for a smile, but her clenched teeth just made her look more awkward, “Also it’s a rainbow so, you know, that’s cool too.”
Glimmer’s brain was short circuiting: what? The gay disaster in her head was lighting up all sorts of colours- many of them she didn’t like. She usually felt a certain sense of camaraderie with other people in the LGBT+ community and a pull started growing towards Adora; a rainbow coloured rope that wrapped around her waist and pulled by an invisible force. On the other hand, Adora simply repulsed her; she was annoying and snarky and arrogant. There was no place for someone like her in Glimmer’s world.
Adora was still rattling on, “-I mean, of course, I’d get it if you don’t want to do that, I totally-“
“I’m gay too.”
“What?”
“You go for girls right? I do too.”
“Oh!” Again with the look of surprise on her face; it made Glimmer struggle not to roll her eyes, “Cool! So, uh, could we do Bismuth or...”
She looked at Glimmer with big, round puppy-dog eyes of the clearest blue. It wasn’t fair she was so pretty while Glimmer had to sit here looking like a paint-covered potato. What a brat.
Glimmer let out another exasperated sigh and threw her hands into the air; god knows what sort of revenge someone of powerful as Adora could get if Glimmer didn’t follow along with what she wanted, “Yeah fine, let’s go ahead and do it.”
Adora’s blinding grin would have been a nice sight if Glimmer didn’t see through it to the venom, “Great! Thanks!”
She jumped forward, obviously attempting to give Glimmer a hug only to be met by a stare dripping in icicles.
Adora retracted hers arms with a quiet, “Oh, right. Sorry.”
Glimmer shifted towards the far edge of her desk to in an attempt to create more space between them. She remembered something about how increased volume decreases pressure, but maybe that only applies to gases and not people.
She pulled out her Chemistry notebook and was suddenly embarrassed for the art, stickers, and glittery puff paint adding a quarter inch of height to the cover; she wanted to prove that she wasn’t the ditz everyone was convinced she was but here she sat with a notebook that looked like it belonged to a fourth grader. She glanced at Adora who had pulled out her notebook now; it was plain black with Chemistry aggravatingly neatly written in silver sharpie. Glimmer began scolding herself in her mind for feeling ashamed for the over the top style she had always enjoyed. And since when was she trying to prove anything to anyone? Why should she care if they think she’s stupid; that’s their problem and she didn’t care... did she?
Adora had noticed Glimmer mistakenly staring at her while the turmoil boiled in her head but apparently hadn’t noticed the scowl she was wearing. The soccer girl gave her a cheery smile, looking almost hopeful. Hopeful over what?
Glimmer blew an unhumored puff of air through her nose and shook her head as she turned away from Adora once again.
“I like your notebook,” She sounded sad, hurt even; Adora was probably the strangest person Glimmer had had the inconvenience to interact with.
She threw open the cover of her notebook with as much aggression one can possibly direct at an object covered with 3D unicorn stickers.
Glimmer pulled phone out of her pocket so she could get a reference to base the model on. In the searches, an image of the metal popped up. It was quite rainbow. Maybe there was hope for this project anyways.
She tapped on an image and set her phone to rest on the side of her bag before hunching over to begin sketching her plans for the model and brainstorming possible materials. It was a relief to settle into a situation that was familiar and far more comfortable than being forced to talk to Adora. This entire class period had been one nightmare scenario chasing after another. Now, she could just focus on the paper in front of her, on the way her pencil made dusty, smooth curved lines in contrast to the ridged blue ones pre-printed on it. This was her world: the smell of graphite and the small scritching sound the tip of her pencil made as it met the glossy sheet.
But, of course, things could only go right for Glimmer for a few minutes at the most in this class. Her light source of flickering fluorescent bulbs set in the ceiling tiles was blocked out after only moments by the looming figure of Weaver.
Glimmer glared up at her, refusing to move her body, “Can I help you?”
“I just hope you’re working. I know you sometimes struggle with staying on track or accomplishing anything productive.”
The patronizing words boiled in Glimmer’s veins and she straightened out to make direct eye contact Weaver. Furious; that’s what Glimmer was. It was obvious Glimmer was working on her project and that should have been easy to tell from where Weaver was crowding her space. She just wanted to embarrass Glimmer and call her out in front of everyone. And that had certainly been accomplished; the entire class was unblinkingly watching them except for the guy two rows ahead who was watching what looked suspiciously like porn. Why didn’t Weaver bother him??
Glimmer’s face continued to grow red as the urge to yell back grew stronger. Unfortunately, the sensation of barbed wire being wrapped around her throat was growing stronger as well and she began praying that she wouldn’t burst into tears in front of everyone.
She was about to retort back something that probably would have gotten her suspended or at least landed her in detention when a voice beside her quipped, “Actually, Ms Weaver, we’ve gotten a lot done!”
Glimmer didn’t even try to hide the incredulous look on her face; why would Adora get involve with this? This had nothing to do with her.
Weaver raised an eyebrow at Glimmer before turning to address Adora, “I’m sure youhave, dear, but you don’t need to cover for your partner if she’s not doing her work.”
Adora’s eyebrows knit together as if she were confused, “No, really! We’ve got a lot done and Glimmer’s been helping with the planning a lot!”
Glimmer couldn’t help but look at her like an idiot. Was she so much of an airhead that she didn’t understand no matter what Glimmer did, Weaver would still pick on her? Had she really never noticed before?!
The glowering teacher strutted away with a final, “Hmm, well don’t work yourself too hard for the sake of your partner; it’s not like she cares but her grade anyways.”
Glimmer shot a scalding glare at her teacher’s back before curling around her notebook once more and again picking up the steady rhythm of pencil strokes on paper.
“I don’t know why she does that,” Adora’s voice startled her out of the space she had settled into inside her own mind, “She has no right and it’s cruel.”
“Yeah, well,” Glimmer snorted without looking up, “that’s what you get when the teacher hates you.”
“It’s not fair though! You get your work done and I knowyour grade is pretty good so-“
Glimmer spun around, “Wait a second, how do youknow anything about my grade?! That’s weird as hell!”
A pink began creeping its way onto Adora’s face again and her eyes widened in shock, “Oh god sorry, that does sound weird! Um let me explain? So sometimes I come after school to grade for Weaver for volunteer hours and I just noticed that you do really well on your tests and I just remembered that when Weaver was, well, basically just calling you lazy just then.”
Glimmer stared at the other girl for a second trying to figure out what the hell was going on for maybe the 50th time that period, “You say that as if it’s supposed to make it less creepy? Why are you paying so much attention to my grades and why do you remember them??”
“Um... just because I thought it was strange that she picked on you so much and didn’t really have a reason to?”
Yup, Adora was, without a doubt, the strangest person Glimmer had ever met.
“I just don’t know how you can like her,” Glimmer muttered under her breath and certainly not expecting a response.
“I don’t!” Adora almost seemed to be laughing.
Glimmer once again shifted from where she had been attempting to resume her work to face Adora (GOD this girl was distracting), “What do you mean you don’t like her?? You’re her favorite!”
“So?! That’s not my fault!” She was definitely laughing now and it made Glimmer mad, hearing what a nice of a sound it was, “I didn’t ask to be her favorite!”
“And I didn’t ask to be her leastfavorite,” Glimmer grimaced in Adora’s direction.
The smile fell from her face, “Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to-“
“Look can we just back to work?!” Glimmer snapped. She didn’t like how personal this conversation was getting; it made an uncomfortable anxiety begin bubbling up somewhere in her stomach that needed to stop right now.
Just as they both scooted in opposite directions, hoping the space between them would dissolve the awkward silence, the bell rang it’s annoying, screechy laugh that always made Glimmer jump.
Adora grabbed her bag and flashed Glimmer a smile that would have been kind or maybe even excited if it were real, “See ya tomorrow!”
Glimmer returned it with a grimace that she hoped conveyed how unfortunate she found that fact before grabbing her things and stomping her way out of the classroom without looking at anyone else.
This project was going to be hell.

Season Four
Season four is for Marcus's as-yet-unnamed story that I have been tagging as Iecunem. Marcus has started spending more time away from SAA because of his new girlfriend Heith, which is fine. It's not like they have anything to do anyway. Horatio is beginning to think that he should get a day job. He and the rest of SAA spend their time in an occasionally-glimpsed "get Horatio a job" B-plot while the narrative focuses on Marcus and Heith. Marcus has been on Rade for eight years and he gave up on the idea of dating pretty much immediately - he doesn't need a partner, but he also doesn't have an intuitive understanding of the courting conventions of Aephar, and letting someone get close to him brings with it the risk of revealing secrets that he suspects won't go over well. But maybe the galaxy's chillest punk vocalist will be able to handle it, or better yet, maybe it will never come up.
For a while, it seems like this is the exception to the SAA series rule: Marcus and Heith have a normal romance, cute and hot and the sense of impending doom comes not from an Entity but audience's knowledge that Heith will probably disappear forever the second something goes awry, and with Marcus's secret past it has to. Just like in the canon story, Heith replaces Horatio (clad in his latest job's attire) on the warp platform at the last minute, to accompany Marcus to his mother's funeral. They make it to Iecunem with only emotional conflicts, and it seems like things are going to continue that way until they set foot in the palace and the palace itself seems to mock them: you always had terrible terrible taste, Anchesh. Then it steals Heith away from right next to him.
Marcus's five spouses quickly fill him in on what has happened. As far as they can tell, when the queen died three days ago, she became a sort of extremely powerful poltergeist. Her influence is limited to the palace, but she's transformed the entire building into a constantly shifting series of mostly benign but extremely annoying traps. No one has been seriously injured - yet. But no one else has been completely disappeared the way Heith has, and they're not sure where she might be. It seems like the one thing the queen wants, though, is for Marcus to be coronated. Simple enough. That's only one more step than immediately abdicating, right?
With the help of his younger sister Minaya, who has been trying to keep a lid on the whole poltergeist situation for the public, and a collection of officials, Marcus pulls together the coronation, and takes his mother's place on the throne. His mother will get a state funeral next, but he wants to make sure Heith is okay first. Then the whispers start. The coronation hasn't brought his mother's spirit peace - it's somehow brought her into his mind, too. She refuses to tell him where Heith is, or what she really wants from him. Which means he's going to have to ignore her somehow and do this the SAA way: with a spouses field trip to the library. Over the next thirty-six hours we see Heith and Marcus telling stories about each other in parallel - Marcus to the family he left behind, and Heith to the spirit who has her trapped somewhere in the palace seemingly just to evaluate how bad of a spouse she'd be for Marcus. By the time the library books are going back on the shelf, they both have a plan.
Sparing no pomp nor circumstance, Marcus and his family put on the stateliest of state funerals. He'd hoped that the inheritance would skip him and Minaya would lead, but she prepares him for it and he does his best. Their long hours of library research imply that the now-state funeral was once intended as a send-off ritual to keep the previous ruler from haunting, and they're hoping that it will work that way again. Meanwhile, Heith is counting down the minutes to her moon, when she will be small enough to slip out the hole she's discovered in the floor. The spirit has been awfully quiet in the last hour, so hopefully it won't notice her leaving. In her fox form she makes it to the room below, which seems to be unused. It takes her a while to get the door open, but then she's out in the hall, looking for someone, anyone, and hoping to pick up Marcus's scent. The entire palace seems to be empty, and by the time she finds a room that Marcus has been in before, she's sure this is just an extremely elaborate mind trick. She curls up under the coffee table, tired and despondent.
She's woken up later by voices, by footsteps, and by Marcus finding her there. He's still in his strange fancy robes from the funeral, and she doesn't trust him. Once he explains the situation, though, she ventures out from under the table and curls up in his lap. There's some wrap-up and some send-off later, but the moment that it becomes clear that they're safe is when she shifts back to human form in the privacy of her own room, and after getting dressed, finds Marcus waiting for her in the common area.
"This was the worst meet-the-family I've ever had."

Standing, Asalun, & Associates
An AOM &c. AU that nobody asked for, so I'm delivering!
This is me taking Mystery Incorporated, Dead End: Paranormal Park, Hilda, Mob Psycho 100, and let's be honest, the whole ghost segment of The Sword Interval that lives rent-free in my mind into one vibeful concept: Horatio and Marcus run a paranormal investigation business.
Due to all of their proposed names being terrible puns or just not catchy, they gave up and called it Standing & Asalun. They run it out of what is Horatio's Flowers in AOM, and they do extremely lackluster business. However, Celia thinks it's the most delightful fucking thing and inserted herself into the investigation so much that they essentially hired her. She still has a day job, like Marcus, and unlike Horatio MyOwnBoss Standing. Eventually Allison joined in, and even if they would hire him he doesn't actually want the job, so he's technically a contractor. Still, the addition of another regular meant that they finally felt like they had to change the name to Standing, Asalun, & Associates.
Season One
Season one is the alternate story to AOM and begins with things going poorly as usual - they're not actually that bad at their job, but they have a hard time finding people who actually need paranormal things investigated, or even stuff they can put on their video channel - until Sid blows into town, with his parents not far behind. Horatio is instantly convinced that something is Off. No one else agrees - obviously Sid is just having a bad time and is also sixteen years older than when they last saw him. Horatio is ready to acknowledge that he was just too hungry for a lead when Sid starts having dreams that are very clearly not normal weird but paranormal weird. On an island that seems to have nothing paranormal going on, there's nowhere they could possibly be coming from...unless Sid's recently arrived parents have something to do with it. But they're not even witches, let alone known to be capable of whatever this is. So why do they seem to make the dreams worse but their muddy message clearer? SAA - but especially Horatio and the newest associate, Sid - will stop at nothing to find out.
