My Cheese Melt AU is an alternate series of events beginning in Kindred Spirits (in which Vlad never sends Dani to capture Danny, because he convinced himself that it would be a waste to get rid of a perfectly serviceable clone so quickly, leading directly into him getting so unreasonably attached to her that he forgets all about the original "perfect son" plan) which then turns into a Dani inclusive, family dynamic focused rewrite of season 3. (the fic series starts with spirits less than willing)

Dani is present for certain important canon episodes (currently Eye For An Eye, Urban Jungle, and Living Large are the ones I've fleshed out) but she also gets episodes about her. Such as her first day at school, her obligatory identity crisis episode in which she recruits Sam and Tucker to help find her some hobbies and interests that are sufficiently different from anything Danny or Vlad likes, and Aloha From the Other Side, the vacation episode where her dad breaks Hawaii by simply being Vlad. Overall, she's a sweet kid who hilariously has a better moral compass than Danny and Vlad combined, but she also has INCREDIBLE capacity to be worse than both of them, if the situation calls for it. Her arcs focus on self discovery/identity, the looming threat of destabilization, and her relationships with Vlad and Danny.

Danny's relationship with Dani is more complex in this AU, because he doesn't trust "Vlad's daughter" at all at first. It doesn't help that the first time he meets her is in Eye For An Eye, right after sending the GIW to destroy Vlad's (and Dani's!) house. And now, Vlad is obnoxiously hellbent on replacing him with "Ellie Phantom" as the protector of Amity Park! But after Dani proves she has a mind of her own and hasn't been completely brainwashed by Vlad, and doesn't necessarily approve of his villainy, Danny shifts from animosity more toward concern for her. He knows Vlad well enough to realize that he's inevitably going to break her heart, and Danny is going to be there to protect her when it happens. (But what Danny doesn't know is that Vlad already broke Dani's heart when she discovered the truth about his initial plans for her before they moved to Amity Park. He saved her life in a fit of petulant guilt immediately after to make up for it, which is why she's still with him.)

And then there's Vlad himself. It would be helpful to think of his arc here as less of a redemption arc, and more of a domestication arc. Vlad is still a supervillain and Danny's arch enemy, but because of his parental attachment to Danielle his antagonist status is just as likely to be seen in him hauling Danny back to FentonWorks by the ankles because it's past his bedtime as it is in his latest cringefail brilliant scheme. In general, he finds himself in increasingly mundane situations by virtue of being involved in Dani's life, which generally results in comedy because Vlad is anything but equipped to handle parenthood (or mundane situations) normally. He's also allowed to have a rare reflective moment now and again and generally be a little more layered than just a villain. There's also increased opportunity for temporary allyships, because Vlad and Danny agree on Only One Thing: Dani is to be protected at all costs.

PLEASE i haven't stopped thinking about paniolo habs since you first mentioned it

i'm slowly adding on to the paniolo verse in both an au habs way and a original fiction way!!

but i did indulge in some drafting of nick + cole being reunited on the paniolo (after being in the usntdp)

and here's him experiencing his first island party

-

It turns out that dinner at Nick’s parents’ house is not just them and his mom and dad. There’s a bunch of Nick’s relatives there too: aunties, uncles, little cousins running around, and maybe even some neighbors. There’s a tent set up outside in their yard and plastic party tables and chairs and everything. 

“You said this was a family dinner,” he whispered to Nick after he’d gotten introduced to everyone. 

“This is a family dinner.” Nick smiled back, like he didn’t see the problem at all, but with the look in his eyes Cole could tell he was a little pleased to have caught him off guard like this. “You like people. Besides, you better get used to it. This is how we are here.” 

One of the little kids had run up to Nick, calling him Uncle, and Nick pointed them to the cooler that was filled with cans of juice. 

Cole still wasn’t used to seeing Nick like this, completely at ease in a way that he never seemed to be except on the ice. He looked like everyone else that seemed to live here, at least from what Cole had seen so far even in the brief time he’d been here. Tonight he wore an aloha shirt that was in a pale blue and white pattern, light khaki shorts, and another pair of flip flops. Slippers. Nick was already trying to train it out of him. 

“I can’t be having you around me and sounding like a haole.” 

“But I am a haole.” Cole had laughed at him in the car, when Nick was trying to teach him how to say Hawai’i properly. 

“No, but if you’re gonna live here at least play the part.” Nick shook his head, but a smile stretched across his face. He grew serious a moment later. “I want the fans to at least feel like the mainland guys are putting in the effort you know? Like they really wanna be a part of the community here, not just play hockey and collect their paycheck. If we’re going to have success here, they’ve gotta accept us and we’ve gotta accept them.” 

Cole was kind of breathless at that. He knew Nick cared a lot about his home, where he’d come from, where he first learned how to skate and play hockey before having to leave it to continue to play. But he’d never heard him so openly serious about it before.

[Curry Carnivore AU - CWS: Mild Body Horror, Distress, Mild Language]

The morning of the first strike was one that Aloha sure as hell didn't want to remember, but the events all too easily came to mind. Even when his arm was recovered and fully grown back, the pain that morning would match even his most painful wipeouts.

The morning was foggy and so was Aloha's mind as he awoke slowly in his ruffled bed. Well, he was awakening slowly, until the dull pain in his left arm came through that haze and thoroughly shot through his nerves. What? What had happened? Aloha's eyes opened wide, sleepiness still in his eyes as he pulled himself to sit up, using one arm to feel over where the pain was, only to find... There was no arm there.

The pink inkling blinked, taking a moment to process before adrenaline finally sunk into his system. His arm was- it was GONE? Like, GONE gone. No way... How?! It was even bandaged, too... What kind of madman would do this?! Aloha waved his hand where his arm would normally be, trying to figure out if he was hallucinating or if there was some kind of illusion going on. Nope. Nothing like that. His arm was actually missing. And whoever had the gall and disturbed mind to do this had half a thought to patch him up. His ink didn't even stain the bedsheets...

The distressed partier would reach to his phone on his nightstand, still plugged in from last night and thankfully charged. Opening up his phone, he'd scroll through his contacts as fast as he could to find one of his teammates- Snorkel. He's practically always up. And if not, his phone wakes him up.

It's a good thing he usually texts with one hand to impress the girls, though that didn't keep the agony from keeping his hand steady and his head clear. There's no way he would be able to type right, so he wouldn't.

[Snork.]

[Dufde.]

[Dude.]

[You uip?]

[Plzs.]

[I need hjelp.]

Suave persona put aside, not that Snorkel would really care, there's be the smallest tinge of relief as he saw that his teammate was typing up a response.

[Lolo, it's 3 pm!! <3 Of course I'm up!] Of course he slept in- partying does that to an inkfish. Ha, at least that means he won't be alone. But, on the opposite hand that he didn't have, he'd be seen by plenty more inkfish. There wasn't much time to debate the thought on if Aloha wanted that or not.

[What's up, my guy?]

The inkling would shudder, eyes closing shut to feel the dreaded throbbing pain of his wound. This is so... So fucked up. Uncaring of his misspellings, he'd send his next few messages with urgency, silently apologizing for the distress he'd cause to Snorkel... And very likely, the rest of his team.

[Myy arms GONE!!]

[Likjk GONE gonew.]

Aloha's pink eyes would tremble as he watched the elipses that denoted his friend typing. There was a weak laugh that faded into a groan. He hated this. He hated feeling like this. He felt... Helpless. Unsafe. The inkling could feel his head start to spin from the stress of his own room not being protected enough to keep an arm-chopping inkfish out, barely holding himself together by means of his teammate on the line- who responded fast. Clearly the concern was rising.

[You're kidding.]

[Like, you're joking, yea?]

[Like. Haha funny, right??]

[Wishj I was.]

Aloha would sift through his phone apps, quickly finding and opening the camera app. He raised his working arm, taking a selfie with his the arm he still had. He wish he could give a peace sign like he usually would, but... Hey. Can't really have peace with a missing arm, right? The image made him look pale- sickly, even. Ugh... So unflattering. Not even filters would fix him at this point.

Snorkel had sent multiple concerned messages by the time the injured had sent the image of his current condition, though they weren't read as Aloha was more pressed on showing what's happened to him. With the image sent, he could only wait with his chest tight as he watched his phone screen intently.

[COD DAMN???? ARE YOU OKAY???]

[DID YOU PATCH YOURSELF UP???]

[Wojke up like thisd.]

[OHHH MY COD]

[OKAY OKAY]

[I'M GETTING HELP N COMING OVER LOLO]

[It's gonna be okay, Lolo]

That last message... It stung more than it helped. It felt like a false pretense, just something said to make him feel better. Aloha would given a shaken sigh as he pulled his legs to his chest, trying to wrap his arms- well, arm- around his legs and finding it more awkward than helpful. Even so, he stayed that way.

"...h-haha... Girls... Girls love a-a guy with... Wh-whatever you call this..."

Thinking it’s kinda funny that Floyd and Riddle mushed together makes a word in the dictionary. Florid.

Anyways Florid thoughts and HCs, mostly future stuff

In the forms of the ship I’ve seen, it’s always Floyd who falls for Riddle first. It makes sense, considering how he seeks Riddle out without Riddle doing the same to him. The scenario of Riddle taking romantic interest first would be interesting, just kinda hard (or you have to set up a lot) to pull off convincingly in my opinion.

It’s very fun to think of the development of the relationship as a sort of push and pull from both parties. They take a step forward, only to fall back because of a comment or action. Only until they come to more of an understanding of each other that they pull more than push.

I know from the times I see Riddle in casual wear he’s dressed fancily while Floyd is more lax (aloha shirt Floyd is ever present, especially for future AU). But c’mon, Floyd is interested in fashion, he’ll happily experiment and help Riddle do too. Let’s go try stuff out Goldfishie~

Someone (or both of them) DEFINITELY has to go through character development if they become a couple long-term. Otherwise they would tear each other apart and become a shitshow.

Floyd feels like the type to just wrap his arms around someone (shoulders, waist, whatever’s more comfortable) and poke over their shoulder to look at what they’re doing. Riddle likes the physical contact, but takes some issue with it if Floyd braces his entire weight on him.

For future AU, as much as I hate drawing that sort of style, Floyd strikes me as someone who has his hair slicked back. Riddle…hmm. I can see his side-bang being tucked back like his suitor outfit, but I prefer him growing his hair out long enough to make a braid or bun (think Artori/a from Fate or Violet from Violet E/vergarden). Either way, they brush and do each other’s hair on occasion.

Speaking of which, the future AU I share with my besties, Riddle is an advising lawyer (not sure which category, but if I remember correctly I was leaning toward criminal defense) while Floyd is mostly a househusband (super funny to think about) who occasionally takes jobs from Jade for the Leech business. Floyd calls it commission work (which is how they file it in taxes) and Riddle takes a deep sigh.

Like to think that they live on the coast in the Queendom in the future. Beachy.

I have NO IDEA if the horses in equestrian club belong to NRC, but fuck it we ball. Vorpal come here, let’s rent a stall in a nice barn for you that we can visit. Not surprised if Florid ends up with a lot of pets in their care, they would probably keep hedgehogs.

Riddle has a Ebenezer Scrouge nightgown he goes to bed in. That or pajama sets. Snork, mimimimi. Floyd dresses in whatever the fuck to sleep. Either way Floyd is either squeezing Riddle like a teddy bear or taking up the entire bed.

I like to think that it’s traditional wear for young girls in the Queendom is wear dresses similar to the iconic Alice dress. If Florid has daughters, Riddle is going to put them in those dresses (it’s nostalgic for him to see when combined with the trans HC).

Floyd would for sure do that thing where you toss kids up in the air to catch them. Riddle isn’t too pleased if he goes too high.

If they get a big bed with space underneath the frame, definitely feel like if they have kids those kids will squeeze under there themselves. Eels like dark, small spaces, just look at how they’ll pile up in a tube or pipe. Grabs a dad’s ankle, the little gremlins.

Another part of my Au to many almost or finished art from my phone of this AU I made. Zoroark mist is purple cuz shiny. I am writing part 2 of my ramble because yes. Satoshi is in Aloha like so confused like " I was in the Abalaster ice lands how did this happen? At least my friends are alive." He puts on his human illusion (he kinda sometimes forget that it's him when he didnt get Zoroark, some days he thinks someone he cared about.) Gary, Goh, Rei, and Ingo are in Aloha for finding out about Ultra wormholes as that's probably how they appeared in the lab. ( it was a time space rift stupid kids) Ingo has one of Lady Sneasler's babies because how else do you think they fell into the random rift baby sneasel wanted to play in snow but tripped on her foot. Satoshi wanders until he's at a familiar building the Pokemon school, he wanders in walking around until he is at the doorway of Professer Kukui's class, part of him wondered "why am I here its just a classroom what ever that is" and leaves going outside where the class was, with Kiawe challenged Gary to a pokemon battle because Gary is Ash's first rival. Gary wins and Ingo ends up yelling " Super Bravo!" Catching the Sun and moon gang off guard. Which Satoshi realize, Rei and Warden Ingo didn't die falling off a cliff in the Highlands but ended up in the future and stepped forward a bit slowly only to step on a stick which everyone turns their head towards him. Why are they just standing their looking at him do they see through the illusion, oh wait he's panicking just act natural. " Hello there, Warden Ingo, Rei." Rei's eyes light up and says " Warden Satoshi!" In which Gary's head is lining up images of Ash and Warden Satoshi, and the faces match if Ash had insomnia and longer hair. Warden Ingo is giving Satoshi the stink eye because a lot of Hisuian Zoroark tried to prey on him with the form of Emmet and didnt Satoshi die all the way in Hisui? Ingo then ask " If you are Warden Satoshi, then." Warden Ingo glared. " How did you get back from Hisui?" Satoshi grinded. " I didn't." The illusion faltered a little showing a bit of mist and his real colors. " I waited a few hundred years after, then I le-"

"Pokeball, Goooooo!"

Kona's Basic Info

Name: Kona Elsie Birr

Kona’s faceclaims in the moodboard are not only picked for their appearances, but also for how they portrayed the characters I’ve seen them as. From the left we have Hayley Mills for the 60s (The Parent Trap and Pollyanna), Ami Foster for the 80s (Troop Beverly Hills), Jodie Sweetin for the 90s (Full House), and McKenna Grace for the present (Just Beyond and The Handmaid’s Tale). Also, just putting it out there, but I love McKenna Grace’s song You Ruined Nirvana. It’s worth a listen, in my opinion.

Nicknames: Koko (she hates it because it sounds like a dog’s name), Kone/Kone-head (usually only by her friends), Pua (by her mom, it means "flower"), Keiki (by her dad, it's a fond way to say "child/children" in Hawaiian), and Kokomo (after the restaurant her parents met in and a Beach Boys song)

Age: 14

Date of Birth: November 24

Zodiac: Sagittarius 

Birthstone: Topaz and Citrine

Nationality: Hawaiian and Australian

Sexuality: Bisexual

Birthplace: Maui Memorial Medical Center, Maui, Hawaii

Current Residence: Aloha Drive, Brightwater, Saint Pete Beach, Florida

Schooling: Junior High (going from eighth grade to Freshman year of high school)

Occupation: Helping her parents in the record shop they own, selling homemade jewelry and keychains, and being a bad bitch (she claims that’s a full-time job)

Talents/Skills: Kona can tell what song someone is thinking of by listening to them hum it or say a few lyrics, she is insanely flexible, and she knows many traditional Hula dances, her favorite, ironically, being “I Kona”

Birth order: Oldest

Siblings: Kahlia Riley (only younger sister in some AUs)

Parents: Jonathan Birr and Nalani Pelekai

Signature:

Height: 5’3” or 161 cm

Eye Color: Green

Hair Color: Blonde (she wants to dye some of it blue or pink, but hasn’t yet)

Glasses or contact lenses: She doesn’t need glasses, but will wear them for fashion

Distinguishing features: Has an old scar on her right knee from taking a nasty fall off her bike as a kid, a freckle on the left corner of her lips, and her left eye is slightly more blue than green, but you can only see it when you’re really close or looking for it.

Mannerisms: Tying knots or braids when she’s bored, bouncing her legs when she sits criss-cross, biting her fingernails (started as a way to piss off her mom and now just does it when she’s nervous)

Health: Prone to nosebleeds, born with one kidney, and is allergic to strawberries

Hobbies: Making friendship bracelets and other jewelry, bowling, embroidering her jeans and sneakers

Greatest flaw (in their opinion): She can be very sassy/sarcastic and it comes across as mean even though she doesn’t mean it that way. She hates when people take her humor/the way she says things the wrong way, but she’s trying to work on it.

Best quality (in their opinion): Definitely her confidence. Kona is very outspoken about who she is and how, if someone doesn't like how she is, they can get out of her life. She was a shy little thing when her family moved away from Hawaii, but now she's back to her confident, sure-of-herself ways. Her parents encourage her to be herself and to be confident in who she is and Kona makes sure everyone is well aware that they can't change her no matter how hard they try.

Biggest fear: Change. She doesn’t like things to change at all, not even her daily routine. It’s something she had major issues with after they moved when she was younger and never quite got over. She likes things just the way they are and always have been, so when something comes along and disrupts the normality she’s used to, she has a really rough time working through it.

Hogwarts House: Gryffindor

Favorite ice cream: Banana (especially if it's covered in rainbow sprinkles)

Favorite color: Blue, but turquoise specifically

Favorite number(s): 2 and 17

Favorite songs: Killer Queen by Queen, Show and Tell by Melanie Martinez, Could Have Been Me by The Struts

Favorite movies: Arrietty, Shrek, The Breakfast Club, My Neighbor Totoro, and Enola Holmes

Favorite TV shows: Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Heartstopper, Derry Girls, The Umbrella Academy, and Killing Eve

Favorite books: Radio Silence by Alice Oseman, The Sun and the Star by Rick Riordan, The Maze Runner by James Dashner, Pretty Dead Queens by Alexa Donne, and This Book Won’t Burn by Samira Ahmed

Favorite video games: Hogwarts Legacy, Hollow Night, and Fall Guys

A musical they like: Mean Girls (purely for the drama, but she also just straight-up loves the songs Revenge Party, I'd Rather Be Me, and, believe it or not, Sexy)

A place they want to visit: Hollywood and Tokyo, Japan

[atiny-piratequeen]

As an eldritch immortal being, does Woo have an intimate understanding for why mortality makes humans makes humans? Or does he have to wait until you come into the picture?

I can very much see him and many of the other monsters not having a care for mortal beings (whether human, animal or other monsters that simply lack longevity) because they don’t understand the sacredness that comes with mortality.

I was a huge pjo fan back in elementary so when their more recent books came out I found it interesting (basically Apollo is turned into a mortal as punishment by Zeus) and wonder how well some of the monsters could handle having to experience the human life.

Finding a life, falling in love, possibly having a family (whether found or created) and finally realizing that this isn’t something permanent but rather temporary because mortals suffer from the kids of death whilst many immortal beings find loopholes around it.

I feel like Woo would be one of them that as he’s living the mortal life, he be so busy missing and whining about losing his immortality for a bit that he doesn’t understand the preciousness of mortality until he’s possibly faced with you or a friend dying.

Apologies for the long winded asks, idk where all of it is coming from tbh

Oh he knows. Woo is technically the oldest of the bunch here in Ataraxia verse, he's been around for eons at this point. Destroyed a few planets, created a few along the way. He's kind of at this point where his personality aligns more with the Wooyoung we're all familiar with, where he's chaotic in an endearing way, only flexing his omnipotent power when he needs to because it gets quite tiring being something everyone is absolutely terrified of and unable to even speak to. So he's aware of the ins and outs of human nature and honestly its impossible to lie to him or deceive him in any way. Whoo needs a lie detector when you have Eldrich Wooyoung vibe checking you?

Hongjoong probably has the most intimate understanding of humans and their mortal natures. I've kind of hinted at it, but without giving too many details, he used to be one himself. He doesn't exactly have the best outlook when it comes to humans and their natures for reasons, but he does understand them a lot better than anyone else..

I never read any of them but I've heard snips here and there from audiobooks gaia and her mom plays in the car of the pjo and ma series, so I definitely think its a very interesting concept to explore through story telling.

That trope always hurt my little heart in media hrrrrrrrngh. Its realistic and very valid but I think that's why my little gremlin ass always ends up doing transformations of their partners because owwie, fuck me.

Woo would def be the most affected by losing his immortal status. He's had wounds, many that would be considered mortal, been torn to pieces in conflicts up in the cosmos and then formed back together as whole. If he ever lost the ability to do that, or even the ability to regen, I think he'd fall the hell apart, quite honestly. He's like the rich kid of the bunch, he doesn't have an empathetic grasp on the severity of one's mortality.

also no dont apologize every time i get these asks I just smile, you're actually helping me flush out things a lot more than anything else at the moment it's so pleasant to be able to talk about my little verses like this with someone. thank you so much Laz you funky little babi.

aloha au 'ia 'oe, Laz

[galax-dragon]

lmao this post is from like forever ago but i still have this au and in fact it is More Detailed Now

i will elaborate

did you know that alorai. alorai is in this now. yeah when rider and aloha and mask start investigating and stuff aloha and rider start forming this kinda romantic thing.

obviously goggles doesn't like this. he's very possessive and lowkey kinda stalkery in this au. aloha will NOT get away with this (he probably gets mind controlled or even killed)

the mind control/brainwash/contagious stupidity in this is like. Greatly exaggerated from canon they like practically gradually lose their brain function and also desperately crave pickled plums or something to the point they're like tearing things out of their fridge and going slightly insane over it. idk the details to that exactly yet

ALSO i decided how team blue feels about this. they're completely fine with it. you see they met goggles as an eldritch horror when they were all just kids, goggles took the form of an inkling and yeah they're buddies. they allow goggles to transform and Eldritch Shriek in the basement when he needs to and they help keep his secret 👍

btw speaking of transformations Goggles can't 100% keep his inkling form all the time, sometimes his tentacles will get that black goop or he'll grow a tentacle from his back when he feels high emotions or if he's just not paying attention. Pickled plums for some reason actually help with these transformations, when he accidentally transforms a bit he can eat a plum and it goes away

uhhhhh also goggles eats people sometimes. this is normal

goggles is like absorbing his victims intelligence to make more power for himself so he can take over the world or something 👍 yeah

AND the victims of the intelligence drain are more than just the battle legends I think, there's a few random people thrown in there but obviously it's more noticeable with the Famous Battle Legends

also in the final battle or whatever when goggles is carrying out his Evil Eldritch Horror Plan and Rider has to stop it, team blue actually ends up siding with goggles because he may be a horrifying eldritch horror but he's also their friend yknow

yeah :D

also this song. idc if it's an amanda the adventurer song it belongs to this au now lol

hiiii who wants to hear about yet another coroika au from the person who has too many of them

so yeah extensive infodump and doodles under the cut

TW: DISTURBING IMAGES

Ok so lots of idk’s for this one, bear with me ok

So you know how a lot of Goggles’ opponents (Skull, Emp, Vintage) seem to turn stupid after Goggles defeats them? Yeah, this is based on that, but Scary

So in this Goggles is a 19481059149 years old (very ancient) eldritch monstrosity from the eternal void, he is reborn every 1000 years or so to cause destruction and stuff. He “brainwashes” (turns stupid) the other Coroika people, usually by pantsing, but people can be brainwashed without pantsing them. (Ex: Army.) He may or may not have some evil plan, idk yet

So yeah, somehow Rider finds out Goggles is a monster (idk yet, I think he sees his true monstrous form somehow?) And Rider is totally freaked out, but also curious, and tries to find out more about Goggles, and eventually finds out that he is brainwashing people.

Team Yellow-Green (Stealth, Blazer, and Bamboo) are the first Rider tells, when they see him with like his big cork board with all the strings attached to it (do you know what I’m talking about) But they don’t believe him, because Goggles? An evil eldritch monster? How absurd!

So then Rider tries to warn other people, he warns Ocho and Wireglasses because they are the current Big Bad Opponents and likely Goggles’ next victims. (Btw I headcanon that Rider and Wireglasses are cousins, and I also ship Ocho and Wireglasses.)

But Ocho and Wireglasses don’t believe Rider, either, and they get caught by Goggles!! :0

So now Rider is desperate to warn people that Goggles is dangerous. He calls up Mask and Aloha, a couple of Goggles’ victims who haven’t been brainwashed! And luckily, they actually believe Rider’s whole theory! (Btw at this point Rider hasn’t slept in like, three days)

Together Rider, Mask, and Aloha try to figure out how to defeat Goggles and stuff. Also at first Aloha is just goofing off because he’s not sure if he really believes this whole thing, but once he realizes Army has really been brainwashed, he is really on board.

Also, I bet you’ve been wondering why Rider himself isn’t brainwashed, because he is Goggles’ first opponent and has been pantsed thousands of times! Well there’s an explanation for that: Gorai! Goggles didn’t brainwash Rider because he loves him in an unhealthy and creepy way!

Idk how to explain it, Gorai in this au is basically like this picture:

Yeah 👍

So anywho then Events occur that somehow lead up to Mask and Aloha getting brainwashed and Rider having to confront Goggles’ true monster form.

(Btw in this Goggles can like, control his victims to basically be zombies that obey his mental commands? This isn’t their default form, it can be turned on and off.)

So anyway yeah that happens and there’s actually multiple outcomes I’m thinking of! So either Rider like, convinces Goggles to stop being evil somehow and everything is good, or Goggles brainwashes Rider, achieves his evil goal, and everything is Not Good.

Also I’m not sure how Team Blue ties into all of this, I think they know that Goggles is an ancient eldritch monstrosity but they’re ok with that?

Anyway, that was a lot! Here’s the doodles as promised:

Sorry for the not-great quality, I had to take these on the bus so I wouldn’t forget 🙃 (I might take some better pictures later)

[A few moments later, Calypso wakes up to a pair of chocolate-colored eyes peeking over the edge of the cot where her head is. A very soft voice of a kid is heard singing, paired with the strumming of a ukulele,]

“Aloha ‘oe, aloha ‘oe. E ke onaona noho i ka lipo…”

[The kid is on his knees by the cot, his small hands gently holding a ukulele. Most of the kid’s (very curly) hair fades from dark blue to light blue, though the visible roots are black. The kid has a band-aid on his cheek right below his eye.]

“One fond embrace, A ho’i a’e au, until we meet again…”

[He’s wearing a soft-blue-and-white striped shirt with a pair of overalls, the front pouch having a hibiscus flower sewn on. One of his light blue sneakers are untied, though that doesn’t seem to bother him.]

“Farewell to thee, farewell to thee, the charming one who dwells among the bowers.”

[The kid seems to be aware that she’s now awake, but he finishes the song regardless. A border collie with a service dog vest is sitting calmly next to him, staying attentive to the environment, as well as the kid’s condition.]

“One fond embrace, before I now depart…”

[He finishes the song, breaking eye contact to look down at his ukulele.]

“Until we meet again…”

[On the walls of the infirmary, the shadows begin to warp. They take the shape of…one of those videos of kids falling over but with detailed shadow pictures.]

— @nrcsfavoriteshrimps

Calypso’s eye drifted up to the walls of the infirmary, her face taking on a curious expression as she examined the shadows on the walls. She watched as the shadows danced, like a moving picture. It brought a small smile to her face.

The sight, at least temporarily, took her mind off of the throbbing pain in her right eye and in the rest of her body.

It was one of the first little flames of light that had been brought to her ever since she had recovered from her overblotted state. It was probably the first time that she had truly smiled in days.

Calypso found herself reaching up towards the walls, despite her arm screaming at her to stop moving and rest.

“Heh…just like those cartoons at home…”

2020 fic recs!! [Part 2]

part 2 of my 2020 fic recs!! as before, ive limited this to five fics per month; and fics are ordered by the month they were published. This spans fandoms and ships, and hopefully you find something you like!! credit for the idea goes to @iam93percentstardust

***

July

this is the start: @capnwinghead

Clark and Bruce continue raising the Wayne children and encounter a number of challenges along the way.

great minds (love alike): @starklysteve

Steve’s eyes flicks down to Tony’s knees on the floor.

“Are you – are you proposing to me with my ring for you?” Steve asks incredulously, eyes wide and confused.

---

Or, Steve finds Tony’s ring for him, Tony finds Steve’s ring for him. Panic happens.

Marvels Unsolved: @iam93percentstardust

Marvels Unsolved was never supposed to be this popular. It started off as a novelty web-series about Tony trying to convince Bucky about the existence of the supernatural—he firmly believed that if science could turn Uncle Steve from an actual shrimp to the god of muscles, then magic had to be out there—and then they’d started talking about an unsolved crime from the early 20th century after filming an episode one day, forgetting that the camera was still rolling, and had ended up with enough footage to make a second episode about real crimes. They had stayed pretty unknown throughout that first season but then true crime podcasts had exploded in popularity and Unsolved along with them.

it’s a small world after all: @maguna-stxrk

“Great speech.”

Smiling at the compliment, Tony turns around. “Thank y—”

And nearly drops his champagne flute.

His world comes to a stop.

They had only spent a night together, but Tony would recognize those baby blues anywhere.

It’s Steve.

Steve from Tony’s London business trip. Or, as Rhodey has become accustomed to calling him—The Soulmate That Got Away.

you’re in my blood, you’re in my veins: @nethandrake

Tony always figured that if they ever were to break up, it would be like a blaze. Scorching and hot and all-too blinding. Intense like the two of them have always been.

Instead, they break up on a Tuesday, with the rain pelting the windowpane and the midnight silence stifling.

August

Five Times Danny said he’d marry Steve (plus one): @five-wow

Danny humphs. “Look, all I’m saying is, I think I’d probably have married you by now.”

“I’d marry you, too,” Steve says.

Or: An experiment in how many times you can say something before you have to put your money where your mouth is.

Family (You’ve Always Had It): @/SunnyQueen

A black Camaro and a scowling blond was not what Junior had been expecting.

“Hi, sir. You didn’t have to pick me up.”

The blond looked up from the screen on his phone and groaned, completely ignoring Junior's statement. “You are right, I didn't have to."

Ode To Yoga Pants: @riotfalling

OR the continued terrible mating dance of Bucky and Tony, AKA when betting on your friends stops being fun

Through The Years: @hawkbucks

Tony brings home Natasha one day, proclaiming her to be his new sister.

Natasha takes this all in stride.

The broken road that led me home to you: @just-fandomthings

A documented list of conversations between Steve and Danny via text and phone call following the events of 10x22 "Aloha." (Where, even thousands of miles apart, Steve and Danny can't go without talking to each other.)

September

someday, we’ll pass it on to you: @starklysteve

Steve smiles.

Reaching up, he flattens his hand against his son’s far smaller one, curling gently around it. “You wanna be like him?”

“Da!” Peter agrees again.

One year old, and you already know who’s the best of us, Steve pauses to reflect, all his fears chased away by a fierce pride. “Your Dad’s coming home real soon,” he promises, “you should tell him that.”

---------------

Or, five times Peter did the repulsor pose as a toddler

+ one time he used the repulsors as an adult

Classic Sci Fi: @notdoingsohot

Bucky wakes up to Steve telling him he's lost his memory, but not to panic, it'll only last a few days. Easier said than done when the last thing Bucky remembers is fighting Hydra with the Howlies in WWII.

He tries to make the most of it however, and there's this guy... Tony Stark. It's pretty clear the guy hates Bucky's guts, which is unfortunate because god damn is he a sight.

He tries to figure out what he did to wrong Stark, but everyone just tells him he doesn't want to know.

They were right.

Blooms in Frost: @/Diomedes

Tony coughs up his first petal on the sixth of July. He has been married to the love of his life for two years.

Bury a Hanahaki corpse in earth and it will beget the most beautiful garden. All that love, it is said, must go somewhere.

Hanahaki AU: Established relationship

------------------------------------------

A Single Thread of Gold: @lovelyirony

Rhodey doesn't believe in love at first sight or any of that cheesy shit. He just wants someone who is nice, dependable, and safe.

Tony Stark is Housing Service's little problem for the school year, and now he's stuck in Rhodey's room because he's exploded the last two dorm rooms he's been in and won't live off-campus.

high roller, place your bet: @machi-kun

“Would you kiss Stark for a hundred bucks?”

“I would pay a hundred bucks to kiss him.”

October

press my luck: @omg-just-peachy

But... Steve is almost ten years his junior, and he could be with just about anyone, looking and acting like he does. And then there’s the not so small fact of Tony’s name and net worth and the fact that, okay, Tony had paid for Steve’s grad school tuition, and now he’s worried Steve feels obligated to stay. Or something.

Or, Tony is a billionaire, Steve is a grad student, and they learn to let themselves be taken care of.

see it with the lights out: @starklysteve

Tony goes on a business trip, and he does not - not at all - get jealous of Dodger hogging his husband's chest, a territory otherwise known as Tony's pillow.

(or, Steve goes on an Instagram spree and Tony misses home)

adulthood is looking both ways before you cross the street and getting hit by an airplane: @starkslovemail

It was a perfect plan, if Peter did say so himself.

The Buy In: @dracusfyre

For the ImagineTonyandBucky prompt: Mafia AU with Tony as the Boss (except he's a really good one, making the streets safe, keeping drugs away from kids etc) and Bucky as the detective sent to go undercover to catch him out but ends up realizing he's actually doing more good than harm and they end up falling in love

trinkets of your affection: @starklysteve

Kissed him once for every year I loved him, Steve had written.

By that count, Steve owes him five more kisses now.

Tony traces the words, hands trembling, and tips back a shot of Howard's ancient whiskey. None of it burns anymore.

One day, he'll have lived more days without Steve than there are words in the diary.

For the first time since he'd woken with shrapnel in his chest, Tony fears the future.

----------

Or, five things Tony keeps to remember Steve by, and one thing Steve gives him to remember.

November

“Hey Tony”: @riotfalling

Steve points out that Bucky never calls Tony by his actual name. Bucky doesn’t believe him, until he does.

Remembering You is Hard to Do: @lovelyirony

“The future’s crazy, honey-bear.”

Jim looks up.

“Why do you call me that?”

“Call you what?”

“Honey-bear. It’s weird.”

“Inside joke we have,” Tony says, chest tightening. “We thought those couples that have the lovey-dovey nicknames were ridiculous.”

overheard your heartbeat (calling me yours): @starklysteve

"Tony - "

"I wish I could promise to come home this time," he feels the armor crawl back down his arm, continuing unnoticed over Steve's red gloves, then up the blue uniform as Tony fights to keep Steve's gaze firmly fixed on him.

The last eyes Tony might get to see, and he wants to be lost in them.

In the end, his entire life boils down a few simple things: "JARVIS, take care of him for me."

----------

Or, Tony overhears a phonecall where Steve proposes, a battle happens, and a paper ring settles some misunderstandings.

i (really, really, really, really, really, really) like you.: @nethandrake

For as long as Steve can remember, he's been crushing on Tony Stark. The thing is, he's pretty sure Tony doesn't know Steve exists. And how could he? Steve's scrawny and little. He's a nobody compared to Tony who's Mr Popular and the son of a billionaire.

Or at least he thought so until Tony swings by the bakery Steve's mother happens to own to enlist Steve's help in finding the perfect Valentine's Day card.

The perfect Valentine's Day card for someone who isn't Steve.

One Song (My Heart Keeps Singing): @iam93percentstardust

When Thor is old enough to understand what a Heartsong is, he goes to his mother to ask her why he can’t understand the language his is in. He listens as she tells him about the first soulmates who couldn't understand their Heartsong until the day they meet, excited by the thought of a grand adventure, one that will take him across the cosmos in search of his One.

He’ll search all the Nine Realms if he has to.

December

Swiping Right: @s-horne

“Ouch. Definitely a hard pass for that one?”

Steve startled at the sudden comment from the row of chairs behind him and turned around. He’d been passing the time in the airport lounge by swiping through Tinder and had gotten lost in his own world. It was almost jarring to be pulled away from the screen of hot men and back into reality where the PA was screeching and there was noise everywhere.

Adjusting to the difference, Steve frowned. Wait, he knew that face. Oh, shit… he knew that face.

“No, no, it’s fine,” the man said before Steve could get out anything other than an embarrassed sort of yelp. Waving his hand through the air, the stranger smiled ruefully. “I get it. It’s the beard, isn’t it? True be told, it was a weird winter choice that year and I knew it would come back to hurt me.”

Steve didn’t know what to say. He knew it must have shown on his face and could feel himself flushing, panicked and embarrassed all at once. What were the odds of swiping left on someone literally sat behind him?

set your flight path home (to me): @starklysteve 

Tony puts down his welding torch. “I’m building you a plane.”

Stepping carefully over the gears and tools scattered about, Rhodey slowly makes his way to him.

“And when did you become an expert on how to build a plane?”

“Last night,” Tony grins.

---------------

Tony builds a plane, and Rhodey teaches Tony how to fly it. Or he would be teaching Tony, if Tony didn't distract him so much.

I Want A Man With A Slow Hand: @thefourofswords

“Can I ask you a question?” he asked on their way to a crime scene, because no time like the present, and Danny believed in ripping off band-aids.

“Why not?” Steve replied, eyes on the road. “You’re gonna even if I say no.”

“What do you like in bed?”

*

Danny undertakes a very important mission to get Steve laid. For his health. Ahem.

same time next year: @omg-just-peachy

“I forgot to ask. When’s your flight home?” Steve asks, draping his arm over Tony’s shoulder and settling in against him.

Tony ignores the knot that forms in his chest at the idea of it, leaving Steve again for his own impersonal apartment, his piles of books and projects and the nights without sleep.

“Day after tomorrow.”

Steve huffs a little sigh, then brings his lips to Tony’s neck. “Well, we’ll have to make the most of it, won’t we?”

Or, four (4) Christmases with two (2) idiots who can't admit they're in love.

rearrange my heart (to fit your smile): @starklysteve

"You dare," Howard's chair makes an ugly noise as it scrapes against the stone floors, the chatter of the room shifting into hushed whispers and stolen glances. "I am your father and your King!"

"My King is my husband," Tony tips his chin up, defiant. "And I refuse to hear you suggest that my husband has been anything other than good to me."

Next to him, he feels Steve's shoulders stiffen in surprise.

Howard's fist slams loud on the table. "Your husband does not even love you!"

Tony jerks back, burned. He knows that. Knows that Steve did not marry him for love – does not need any reminder of the cold truth, of what he desperately yearns for and can't even hope to have – but the harshness of Howard's words was scalding, and Tony can't afford for this to go any further.

----------

Or, King Steven marries Prince Tony, Tony is pretty sure he shouldn't panic when he falls in love with his own husband, and Steve tries his very best not to cause diplomatic crises.

Coming Home

an aviskull angst fic but dont worry it turns out alright in the end

wildermyth au

tw for blood, someone's leg getting cut off, and also someone almost dying

@lunartearrose @pandemain

~>💙💜<~

"NO!-" Avi cried. He reached out, trying to pull Skull back to safety.

Skull just ran into the battlefield, sword drawn. It felt unnatural in his hands. He was an archer, not a swordfighter. But he had no choice- he had to defend his family

He drove his sword through the chest of the haunt, tearing it out and then facing the giant Drauven.

"THUVAYN!" Skull called. "I'm who you want! Leave Army alone!"

The warlord turned to face Skull, snarling and not speaking a word. He ran from Army, sword drawn and ready to fight Skull. The hunter gripped his sword, his face as calm as ever.

Thuvayn slashed his sword at Skull. He just managed to block it- the blade grazed his shoulder. Which meant there was a large gash. Skull mustered as much strength as he could and forced the blade away, only for Thuvayn to strike Skull's leg, slicing it clean off. He screamed, and as the Drauven raised his sword, Avi raced over with his shield, bashing the sword into its chin. "Army, now!"

Army took a deep breath, before summoning a tower of flame, burning the warlord to a crisp. Avi sighed in relief, before clutching onto Skull.

"No.." He whispered. "Nonononono... Please.." A sob wracked through him. "Skull- stay with me..."

Skull reached his undamaged arm up. "A-Avi..."

Avi took his hand, kissing the back of it. "I'm here. I'm here, Skull. Don't close your eyes, please- We'll get you to Prince and xe can heal you. Stay with me..."

"...I-I've never felt at h-home, before." Skull started. "B-but, I think I a-am now..."

"Keep talking, stay awake...please..." Avi pleaded.

Army ran up, staff gripped in his hands. "Should I-"

"Get Prince." Avi near commanded. "Please."

The mystic nodded, running off. The warrior clutched onto Skull.

"...You want to finish your thought, love?"

"W-with you," Skull continued, voice weak. "I f-feel... safe. I'm a-at home, with you by my s-side..."

Avi allowed himself a small smile. "You're safe... I'm never gonna let anything harm you again. Okay..?" He gently ran his fingers through Skull's hair. "You're gonna live, and... and we're gonna go home, and we're going to be alright. We'll raise Sucre, and she'll tell stories of how strong her mama is..."

Skull gave a weak chuckle. "W-We both know, that c-can't happen. A-Avi, I'm s-so tired... I don't t-think I'm gonna make it.."

"Don't say that, Skull." Avi said, holding Skull close. "You're not dying, you're not gonna die... I'm going to keep you safe and alive. Prince is on xyr way. Just try to make it...Please stay for me..."

"I'll t-try..."

Avi gently embraced Skull, not caring that he was getting covered in blood. "I love you." He muttered. "I love you so much..."

But Skull was silent. He was breathing, alive, but silent.

Footsteps approached. Army and Prince.

It was a blur, to Avi. He handed Skull over to the mystic in white, who set him in a cart.

"I can keep him alive long enough to get to my tower." Prince said. "D1git and I- we can heal him then. You head home, someone needs to watch your kids."

Avi watched, as Prince hopped onto the horse, riding off with the cart-and Skull-in tow.

He doesn't know how he ended up at home. Only that he was sleeping in a bed with no one else for the first time in years.

Sucre noticed Avi's shift in mood, as much as he tried to hide it for her. She brought home crafts from school for him, she tried to cheer him up. It helped, somewhat. There was so much of Skull in her.

Aloha and Mask also noticed- Avi's excuse of "He needed to go and fight an incursion" didn't work on them. Especially when Army came home shaking in almost fear.

That was the norm, for a few weeks.

It happened on a day when Aloha and Mask took Sucre out on a hunt.

Avi was trying to do something productive- he was tending to Skull's garden. He was going to miss the lilac blooms, if he took much longer to heal. He'd already missed the bulk of the cherry blossoms.

He saw a cart coming down the road. Nothing big- they were on a route used by traders constantly. But what he did see, was the greying blonde hairs of the old crow, Emperor. Avi's heart sank. Was he here to deliver news of Skull's death?

But then there was a miracle. Avi set down his shovel to go and greet Emperor and receive the bad news. Instead Emperor tapped something in the cart with his talons. "Prince, can you wake him up?"

Wake who up? Avi thought, suddenly noticing the mystic.

Prince seemed to whisper something, and... and someone sat up in the cart. His purple hair in a long braid, and his face had an adorable sleepy expression.

It was Skull.

Avi smiled, and then grinned. "Skull!" He called, estatic.

The archer turned to look at Avi, and his eyes widened. "Avi!"

The warrior ran over, hugging Skull as well as he could. "You're alive..."

Skull smiled, rubbing Avi's upper back. "That's right, I'm here, and I'm alive... You were right, Avi. I lived.."

Avi buried his face in Skull's chest, a sob wracking through his body. Skull was alive. He was alright!

"Let's get you home..."

Avi picked Skull up from the cart, and was... a bit surprised to feel wood in the place of one of his legs. But he didn't care. Skull was alive.

He nodded a thanks to Prince and Emperor, and carried his love inside the lodge, and brought him to their room.

Avi set Skull down on the bed, and flopped down next to him, hugging him tightly. "You're alive..."

"I didn't want to leave you..." Skull replied. "You can bake, but can't cook. I didn't want you to starve.."

Avi laughed, kissing Skull's forehead.

"I love you, Skull.."

"I love you too, Avi..."
