#its not a cute boy

[yoyowrites]

fox shifter wei wuxian.

he's an orphan and found that he's more likely to get food and scraps when he's in his fox form. so, he decides to stay like that. one night, when searching for food, he spots the most beautiful boy. he overhears people saying something about "lan clan" and "jade twins". he trots closer to the boy, though not too close for fear of dirtying the other's clothes. he yips to catch his attention and is rewarded with it.

wei yin does a little twirl and tilts his head, hoping the other would pet him. it looks like the boy was going to because his hand twitched but someone, persumibly his brother called him.

"lan zhan?"

the boy froze and looked like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"lan zhan, what do you- ah a fox."

the boy, lan zhan nods. "it came up to me xiongxhang."

"ah."

"let's get going," lan zhan said not sparing wei ying another look.

the two walked. not one to be defeated, wei ying followed them. he made sure not to get too close but did occassionally let out a yelp, lest the boys forget about him. they went through the whole city. after a while, they sat in an outdoor shop and wei ying sat proudly in front of them.

"it seems quite domesticated," the other boy does eventually pet wei ying. "thougg, he is filled with dirt."

"a shame," lan zhan said.

"he's pretty thin."

lan zhan nodded. he bent down and finally pet wei ying.

"i wonder if he's safe here."

"xiongzhang, there are no pets allowed in the cloud recess," lan zhan's brows were pushed together and he seemed to be holding back a pout.

the other boy smiled. "well, this is a special fox. it wouldn't be a pet."

wei ying felt his hair stand on it's end. what did he know?

"i'm unsure," lan zhan frowned.

'let's just see what uncle says, worse case scenerio we'll bring the little guy back."

lan zhan stares between wei ying and his brother. wei ying tries to give his best pleading face. lan zhan's shoulders droop sligltly as lets out a soft sigh. "first we must clean it. maybe uncle will be more lenient if it's presentable."

that's how wei ying finds himself in the cloud recess

the choice for shadow to have softer brown eyes that only turn that vibrant red when he's using his powers is SOOOOO peak

The indescribable tension between an overworked and underpaid smut writer, and his biggest fan hater.

Don’t Think (Too) Much — inspired by this comic

Lou saying that he made little choices to show Tommy was checking Buck out prior to the kiss just made me think of Tommy’s decision to go over and apologise personally. Because Lou also said Tommy had no idea Buck was interested until just before so-

He really went all the way over to Buck’s loft just before work because he thinks he Made The Cute Boy Sad 🥺 And he wanted to personally apologise and fix it

Absolutely whipped behaviour Mr. Kinard 🫡✨

Dpx Dc AU: Ectoplasm is required for Ghosts to be visible to the human eye- And Danny creates his own ectoplasm.

Danny is visiting Jazz in Gotham and its weird how friendly everyone is. Like, the city gets a really bad rapport, everywhere he goes there is someone trying to strike up a conversation or answer his questions about getting around to the tourist spots. A few people even pointed out restaurants and ways to find off the beaten path gems! Jazz seems to role her eyes at him, but when he brings up her 'roommate' being kind of cute she flat out laughs.

Danny then comes to understand the Jazz doesn't have a roommate and that Ghosts in Gotham don't move far from their haunts- He's just been inadvertently turning these undead folks visible by accident of generating abnormal amounts of ectoplasm.

Which, is comforting in a way, he's never walking this dangerous city alone and really, most of the ghosts have been really friendly! They disappear once he's a few blocks away from them anyway.

Tim Drake is having a horrible day.

He'd been given intel that one of Black Mask's guys was going to snitch but that he'd died before given the opportunity to reach out to the GCPD. He tracks down the guy's last know whereabouts and yikes. Its next to the Theater. Tim was often grateful for his childhood obsessions, this time it backfired.

Tim and Bruce get into an argument about trust and respect and, worst of all, mental health. And even though Tim was vehemently against Batman accompanying Red Robin to the alleyway - that's exactly what happens.

They arrive and Bruce is closing up faster than a clam in the contaminated Gotham Bay- Clearly being in the Alley bothers him. No fucking shit. RR gets started on collecting evidence, there are a few extra blood splatters and a single left shoe... When a kid walks into the Alley.

"Uh, sorry to intrude-" The kid looks scared shitless, and runs away. And then, all of a sudden, Batman and Robin aren't alone in the Alley.

Tim can hardly believe his eyes as the dead man appears and quickly blabs Black Mask's bank passwords and what the plan had been- and While he's over joyed to have that closure, he turns around to Batman weeping in the arms of his parents.

The ghosts fade, and the emotions are certainly charged as this was never something Bruce or Tim would have ever dreamed of happening. Ghosts in Gotham. Talking, floating, granting closure.

"RR, Bats, come in." Oracle calls into their ears.

"Reporting in, but, uh, we need a minute."

"A minute? We have a case on 4th and-"

"O, we just saw the ghosts of the Waynes. It's going to be a minute."

"...Lots of Ghost reports lately then. Any chance you saw a kid looking like he could be adopted?"

"Yeah, actually, black hair and blue eyes. He was super polite before he ran away."

"We have work to do. Oracle, lets prioritize finding our person of interest and divert Nightwing and Robin to the case on 4th." Batman cut between them on the comms and he sounded... calmer than either of them anticipated.

Jazz is no longer laughing when Batman appears at her door explaining that he's looking for Danny (Who already flew away from town to get a good night's sleep before class on Monday). Turns out Danny reunited the man with his dead parents just briefly- and then the second guy appears and mentions how Danny had also given a guy who'd been murdered by a Mob enough time to explain the ongoing threats the city faced.

Jazz just rolls her eyes and says that it's not like the ghosts are going anywhere anytime soon and Danny will visit in another month. When pressed, she just explains that her brother is a weirdo. No of course he doesn't have powers. Gaslight and Girlbosses her way out.

And Jazz thinks that the game is up for at least another month, obviously when Danny visits more shit will stir up, but then this new guy appears.

Unlike the other Bats who are keen on watching her from a distance, the Red Hood knocks on her door. Are her eyebrows all the way into her hairline when Red Hood asks her to send his thanks along to Danny because somehow this whole situation led to his Dad expressing remorse for his actions and apologizing? Yes, yes they are.

But Jazz can smell Dissertation Data off of these vigilantes- Who is she to send them away? Jazz welcomes Red Hood into her place for a cup of tea and a small chat.

The story then devolves into Jazz getting shit done, Danny being cute by proximity and also bringing ghosts to the party, and the Bats having trauma resolve between them.

(found a minute to finish a wip based on a couple posts by @thesexydancingcrepe from a while ago; something about reader meeting the monkey boys when they’re kids, and the adorable shenanigans they get into)

the bad end boys, because of their “birthless”nature (one came outta a rock, the other a shadow? idk), are raised by…all the mama monkey yaoguai in their troop. since they’re nobodies babies, they’re everybody’s babies. they don’t see humans very often (or ever, since they’re on an island). but they're not horrible yet, so cuteness will ensue :)
