#lance-centric but i make up for it at the end!!!

[thecomet-and-themeteor]

I don't know how much sense this makes but I need a Langelique Cinderella AU, I think it'd work pretty well

[empty-blog-for-lurking]

Ough ship of theseus au........ Im so fascinated by this concept of the world slowly changing loop by loop, its so horryfying<33 is it known what exactly caused the loop? Also, im wondering, how far off the deep end does lance go? You said he starts Doing Things, does he do stuff to try to break the loop, to try and save his friends, does he slowly go mad? Some combination of these? Something else entirely? Either way this au sounds epic as fuck🔥🔥🔥

I am so glad you like it!!!! As for what caused the loop, I have few options-

Unintended consequences of Haggar destroying the multiverse and her and Allura being unable to fix it correctly. So instead the universe's timeline just keeps repeating itself, like a broken record

2) Unintended consequences of 10,000 years of destruction caused by the Galran empire. It fucked up their specific reality SO MUCH, that the literally the only way to preserve any life on said reality was to coil it onto itself creating a loop repeating itself like recorded videos on repeat and hope for the best.

3) things having been Always Been Like This™. Nobody knows when the time loops started or why it was started because the universe has changed so much and to the point that what was 'original' reality and the main perpetrators and the circumstances that made them begin the time loop is all but gone. The timeline that was the shows canon was simply one of the thousands Or even millions of loops these characters had gone through and didn't even know. The only difference being that this timeline ended up creating conditions (such as trans-dimensional travel and Lance's altean marks) which enabled team voltron to remember and ultimately Lance getting kicked out

4) Lance did this through quintessence fuckery. He wanted to save Allura, and when he managed to save her (and Kuron) through time travel he was Kicked Out™ of the timeline which got stuck in a loop

Either way there's a loop, and no one is there to control it Or end it. Lance remembers and tries to save people for several loops until eventually it causes him to be erased from the timeline for a bit. Think gaster from undertale. Just got put in a little timeout box beyond reality, time and existence itself no biggie he can still watch his friends and family go through same/similar shit over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Only much later that he realizes that the loops are also changing. At first he blamed his own faulty memory but later he realized that no it is changing. The fucking genre is in fact changing

I imagine this was not a pleasant realization.

Lance also goes through various moods, at first he's trying to save people (first time he realized he was in a time loop he saved Allura and Kuron but then Hunk died, so he tried to save Hunk in next loop but then his family died and so on so forth until finally where everyone else is saved but he is erased)

After which he kinda had a long depression period, followed by a period of frustration and rage when he kills a God (most likely Bob) so he can do more in the universe

I also think his opinion on time loop keeps on swinging cause on one hand it's literal fucking torture, on the other hand it offers familiarity and assurance that no matter what atleast they'll stay alive (right up until he realizes that there is a very real chance of time loop changes can erase them as well and unlike him most of them (aside from Allura and maybe Shiro) don't have that specific cocktail of quintessence fuckery to keep them alive)

Overall i making this up as i go man

[fragilefirstchance]

It's Either Tourist Traps or Drugs

Gen, family-centric, rated T or M depending on installment

Do you like longfics? Gen fics? Reflective, OC-centric examinations of family dynamics? Maybe you'd like my fic!

Hi! I am not generally speaking active on Tumblr, but I just completed Part 5 of a fanfiction that is almost 150k words and which shows no signs of slowing down soon. I figured I'd show it to class. :)

Fragile First Chance and its follow-ups is a story about a nineteen-year-old boy whose legal name is Joss William [redacted] Pines but if you call him anything except Will you might end up in a fistfight. It's also a story about how the Pineses are basically good people with a lot of baggage.

Major themes are tagged and optional content warnings for individual chapters are included in drop-down tabs in the notes. For the most part, heavier themes are not gratuitous.

Below the cut you'll find a rough outline of each section. If you don't want spoilers, though, just head on over.

This story was well under way before The Book of Bill came out. It isn't perfectly TBoB compliant, but the themes and plot aren't really something that makes that an issue.

Part 1: Fragile First Chance

Dipper and Mabel Pines were sent to Gravity Falls at the beginning of summer for, from their perspective, no reason. In reality, it was because they were being sheltered from some very old family drama.

Will is May's son from her first marriage and Fil's son by adoption. He's nineteen years old, just getting out of his second incarceration, and a recovering addict. They planned to put him up for a few months, and after that Fil's weird black-sheep uncle agreed to give him a shot in Oregon.

Ford, of course, knew nothing about this. He's not happy about it.

Part 2: Learning to Breathe

Will and Ford are slowly acclimating to each other like two feral cats. They don't really have anything in common except insomnia and a mutual desperate quest not to get in too many fights.

Will doesn't like Gravity Falls. It's lonely, there's nothing to do, and it's full of weird bullshit he doesn't want to deal with. He's coping, though - Soos is pretty cool, the local teens are entertaining, and he ends up getting a long really well with the local bait shop guy and his dad.

Part 3: When Family Matters

Will has started to figure out how Ford works and make an effort to be nice to him. He also tentatively almost likes the guy. (cue Stan audibly sighing in relief off-screen.)

Also: Dipper and Mabel have figured out that their long-lost brother has reappeared, and there are certain family traditions about how you deal with long-lost brothers.

Part 4: Lancing the Wound

Ford and Will are both under a phenomenal amount of stress for a wide variety of reasons. By this point in the story, words like "panic attack" and "therapy" are coming up more often. They have more in common than they ever realized, although for two people with severe abuse-related PTSD, that's not necessarily a good thing.

The McGuckets are around to help. The Twins are too, although whether that's a good thing is open to debate.

Part 5: Nature versus Nurture

In the wake of Part 4, Stanford Pines is coming to realize that his mental health is a much more serious problem than he had previously realized. He struggles to come to terms with this and decide what to do next. This segment of the story is primarily about self-reflection and realizing that you need to change. We also get some serious discussions about the mental health industry (and how it tied into the gay scene in the 70s) by people who are personally invested in it.

Part 6: Definition of a Real Pines

This story arc just started and concerns Ford navigating his life as he tries to re-integrate with his family and society while working through a very difficult mental health situation.

We'll get to meet more of the Pines family. Shermie lives in Florida with his sister-in-law. (Note for those curious about the timeline incongruities: Shermie's age is- wait, look over there! *smokebomb, jumps out the window*)

Bonus: Erastus Kankerson's Toxic Ex

This is a stand-alone one-shot about Erastus Kankerson, an old friend of Fiddleford McGucket who dated him for a while after the divorce.

[erinwantstowrite]

Hello, I love your fic Leap of Faith (Catch me if you can)!!! I wanted you to know, as someone with ADHD, I read Peter in LoF as SOOOOOO adhd coded. I read up to chapter 10, then went to reread and take notes as evidence for this, but then.... the adhd.... I forgot to take notes the whole time. But believe you me ☝️!, that boy had a case of the 80 HDs. (/pos!!! Idk if you intended it to be that way but it makes me very happy reading his though process and actions and being like "he's so me". He's also hilarious, i have laughed out loud so many times when reading LoF)

Also, completely unrelated, I was wondering if you had a favorite fic you've ever written? (Any fandom)

ahhh!! that's awesome!!i didn't exactly do it on purpose, but Peter does end up reading as having ADHD and/or autism in a lot of the little things he does. a friend of mine sends me live reactions when she reads the chapters and goes "!!!" whenever he does something that's "so me!!" It's awesome <3

My business answer is Home or LoF being my favorite (Home being my VLD rewrite), but my personal answer is "Challenger of the Maze" (Lance centric) or "She/He Isn't In Love With Me" (Nalu I love you sm)

[f1-disaster-bi]

Can you write Lando centric angst hurt/comfort for tattoo au?

Hmmm

Lando was alone in the studio when the power went out. He paused for a moment, dropping his pencil when it happened and just sighed. He knew it was a possibility. He knew that it was the storms that they had this week. He had planned to be home before it hit, but he'd lost track of time again as he checked his phone and saw the weather warning pop up. Lando just shook his head as he heard the rain start to thunder down around the studio and began to tidy away his things. He didn't have to have this design finished for another few days so he tucked it away. He'd promised Max and Lance that he'd stop bringing his work home with him, that he'd start relaxing more and he meant it. He checked all the switches, making sure they were switched to off and unplugged anything that he was worried about causing an electrical fire in case there was another surge. It was as he was gathering his bags that he heard it first. The sound of someone jingling the handle of the front door, jingling it so hard that it made Lando freeze. His chest constricted painfully, and it felt like the world was closing in on him for a moment. There was a crash from the front of the store that made Lando run. His hands scrambled for the door to his office. He could feel himself working himself into a panic attack as he slammed it shut. His fingers missed the lock at first, trembling too hard but eventually he got it done before he was desperately trying to find something to barricade it because his mind was being thrown back to a year ago. He could feel the gun being pressed against him as if it was real. He could smell their breath, feel it on his neck. His hands scrambled to the fading scar on his stomach, hands pressing down hard, expecting hot sticky blood to be spilling over his fingers once more but there was nothing as he listened for footsteps outside the door. Lando's phone lit up on his desk, and Lando scrambled for it, tucking himself under the desk as he tried to breathe. Lance's name was on the screen and Lando hit answer quickly, squeezing his eyes shut. "Lando, are you on your way home?", Lance asked from the other end of the phone but all he got was Lando wheezing in reply, "Lando? Lando, what's wrong?" "They're here Lance", Lando whispered, terrified tears spilling over his cheeks, "They came back. They're here. They're here" "Lando, baby, they aren't there. They got them, remember? They can't hurt you anymore", Lance reassured Lando before he seemed to pull away from the phone, yelling for Max before his voice was back, "We're going to come get you, okay?" "No!", Lando whispered loudly, choking on his fear, "You can't, Lance you can't. They'll hurt you" "Baby, we're on the way", Max's voice came over the speaker, "No one is going to hurt you, or hurt us. We're going to be there in a few minutes, and I promise you, we'll all be okay" "But what if they're still here?", Lando whimpered, trying to breathe but he was so scared. He didn't want to do this again. He didn't think he could survive this again. "Hey, we're right here, no one is going to hurt you", Lance reassured, "Can you do something for us, babe? Can you tell us five things you can see?" Lando tried to listen to their voices. He listened to their soft encouragments as Lando stuttered through listening five things he could see before moving onto the next round until he could hear Max knocking on the office door. His muscles were sore as he tried to climb out from under the desk. He managed to crawl over to the door and unlock it before he tucked himself against the wall out of fear. He waited for Max to appear, and the moment he did, Lando was scrambling for him, sobbing into is shoulder once Max had him. Lance sat behind them, his hands were soft as they soothed Lando's back while Max held him through the last of his panic attack. "We've got you", Lance repeated as Max kissed Lando's head softly, just holding him close, "You're safe" Lando, as Max carried him to the car, wondered if he woud truly feel safe because even after a year, they were still haunting him.

Rules: post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to Ao3. (Sort by date posted.) If you have less than 10 fics posted, post what you have.

I have 8, but only the two newest are from the TW fandom… These go back all the way to 2018. Going from newest to oldest,

I keep on hoping to find you; Reaching in between the sheets - Teen Wolf fandom - Brett x Nolan

Being run over by a psychotic guidance counselor did not help Brett fall asleep at night. Even on the nights where Brett could get a wink of sleep bundled up in his bed, he always woke hours later, engulfed in a cold sweat blinking away visions of headlights. Initially, he tried various methods to go back to bed; glass of milk, melatonin gummies, special breathing, watching videos on his phone, a weighted blanket, everything Google suggested. But the best way he found in the month of staying in Beacon Hills was running himself rugged and to physical exhaustion. Most nights in the past few weeks, he shifted into a full wolf -the one perk for him and Lori from that night- and made laps around the Preserve.

And out of the blue, I fell for you - Teen Wolf fandom - Brett x Nolan

A random October week is not when Brett expected to watch the prettiest person ever enter his life, but Brett has learned good things come at weird times.

He and Liam had been discussing -mainly arguing over- their strategy for the Friday lacrosse game before Wednesday practice when Coach comes barreling into the locker room and yells,

“ALRIGHT! If everyone would shut up, I have an announcement.”

Love in the Heart - BNHA fandom - Bakugou x Kaminari

Midnight wasn’t a common time for Kaminari to be drifting around the common room, but he couldn’t sleep; so he grabbed a glass of water and tried to relax. He was halfway through his glass when Bakugou and Kirishima blew into the common room from outside.

Try Not to Think About It - BNHA fandom - Kaminari x Shinsou

Kaminari tried to not think into it that much.

Shinsou became a friend of the blonde ever since he was bumped into the hero course in his second year. They did normal friend things like, talking about gruesome homework, training together and sending each other memes and cat photos. Kaminari treated all of his friends the same, including Shinsou.

Your Eyes Seek Others - BNHA fandom - Kirishima-centric

Two days into second year everyone noticed something was different. The first few hours it was chalked up to everyone’s different summers. People came back with new scars and new stories to tell.

Voltron Series - Voltron fandom - Shiro x Lance

Why Shiro Falls

Even through the plague-like intensity for this year’s homecoming game had found home in Lance, Lance was never too focused on the game to stop talking to Shiro. With Lance’s newfound ability to speak normally, Lance spent most of his time talking with Shiro.

Why Lance Falls

The light ding from Lance’s phone seemed to scream at Lance. He watched his phone’s screen light up and show the notification of a new email. Getting up from his desk, he quickly moves over to his phone to check. He had been waiting for a certain email for weeks and he was now buzzing with anticipation.

The Holiday - Haikyuu!! fandom - Hinata x Kageyama and Tsukishima x Yamaguchi

I’ve found almost everything ever written about love to be true.

Kageyama can’t help but smile. Any good music can bring a smile to his face. Not matter what composer, no matter what era, good music makes him giddy inside.

Shakespeare said “Journeys end in lovers meeting.” What an extraordinary thought.

However any room can be completely rid off all noise, and as long as Kageyama sees his beloved Oikawa he can’t help but draw a tooth grin at him.

Paris Grail War Servant Roster: Updated

Saber: Little Red Riding Hood, the main character of one of the most well-known fairy tales. Due to her story’s popularity and the oddities within the Grail War itself, she was summoned as a Saber with the parameters of a typical one. The Big Bad Wolf has been turned into an animal companion for her who helps her in fights, and in her own words, she’s ‘helping him become a nicer wolf’. If asked why she is a Saber, she’ll say that ‘all the cool adults have swords, so I need one too’. Lancer: Renaud du Montauban, one of the main protagonists of Quatre Fils Aymon, one of the longest chanson de gest, or ‘story of heroic deeds’ in old French. While depicted as a man with a sword in the story itself, she was summoned as a woman primarily using a lance. She is summoned with the magical horse Bayard, who could expand his back to fit herself and her three siblings in myths, and her lance which shares the name of the myth’s sword, Flamberge. She killed Charlemange’s nephew in a brawl, and a war ensued which was only ended after she was pardoned in exchange for fighting in a Crusade and surrendering Bayard.

Archer: The Friends of the ABC, appearing in the famous novel Les Misérables. While their members had a wide variety of political viewpoints, they were united in attempting to take down the Orléanist goverment in the June Rebellion. Instead of a single powerful entity, this Servant manifests as multiple individuals. While unremarkable on their own, together they are able to create strong barricades made of whatever they can find and take down threats much greater than themselves. The members of this group of entities aren’t all Friends of the ABC in Les Misérables, most notably Éponine.

Rider: Cendrillon, better known as Cinderella, from the fairy tale sharing her name. A naturally hard worker who had been treated poorly by her stepmother and stepsisters, before marrying into royalty. She has the ability to talk to animals and recreate the Fairy Godmother’s aid with her Noble Phantasm.

Caster: Michael, the Biblical archangel. He is regarded as being a Divine Spirit, and thus needs a human vessel to take form as a Servant. He is known for defeating Lucifer when he rebelled against heaven and its authority, and for enacting the Last Judgement with the one he defeated.

Assassin: Death, a universal concept known by anything that lives. Despite his True Name, Death is quite kind, and almost appears to be shy around most people. He is aware of the reputation his name has, and does his best to try and make up for the pain he has brought people.

Berserker: The Sun King, better known as Louis XIV. One of the most famous kings in French history, a natural fit for a Servant... albeit, with some erratic tendencies, considering his Berserker class. He has an obsession with anything he considers to be adequately elegant, usually things made of gold, rare crystals, or both. A mostly self-centric eccentric with a tendency to spoil his Master (or, as he calls them, ‘his trusted advisor’) and good leadership skills, despite the class and his personality.

[scatterbrainedgremlin-writings]

Of the multitudes of fic ideas I’ve had, one of them is for Nexo Knights and is Lance centric (mans getting development. It’s what he deserves) and when I told my friend about it they said it reminded them of HTTYD. It has one OC, her name is Aizzayd, and she’s a fucking gremlin child. I also have a head cannon that any mythical creatures mentioned in Nexo Knights (aside from unicorns) are considered endangered and under protection by order of the royal family. Dragons especially since poachers tend to go for the babies instead of adults cause they haven’t fully developed their scales yet, and the elder dragons are considered dieties to some towns. 

Basic plot goes like this (under cut cause it’s pretty long)

Aizzayd’s parents were both mayors of an island town and had a deal with the nine elder dragons (each dragon controls an element, will be explained later) where they would give some wealth and fish for safety. Sometime after Aizzayd was born, shit hit the fan and everyone had to evacuate to a coastal town they had a trade deal with and Aizzayd’s dad, named Aries, gave her to the dragons to protect her. She pair bonds with a baby sky dragon named Coisu who refuses to leave her side.

16 years later she meets Lance after he accidentally gets mistaken for just another shiny object by one of the elder dragons and after some banter he brings her back to the Fortrex where she becomes absolutely chatoic. Season 2 happens, she gets kidnapped by Jestro, but she’s so rambunctious that he gives her back (she still scares him even after season 2 ends).

During this time the dragons reveal that Aizzyad wasn’t actually found orphaned and was given to them by her father who is still alive and in his 30′s or 40′s. She has an identity crisis where she lays on the floor in the holo training room listening to the Nexo Knights equivalent to MCR. The knights all agree that’d be best to try and find her dad, and they do, and he’s happy to see that she has died in some ridiculous fashion.

After season 2 when everything settles down and before the knights start up their side hustles, Aizzyad and Coisu get shot down just outside the town her dad is now mayor of and she gets kidnapped by poachers (they didn’t kill Coisu because they didn’t have the means with them). Aries finds Coisu injured and without Aizzyad and immediately assumes the worst, and contacts the knights.

Knights arrive to a panicked Aries and he explains what’s going on. Lance, who tried very hard not to get attached to the tiny gremlin but is now attached to said tiny gremlin, is the first one to say they need to get her back (the elder dragons approve).

This is all I’m putting cause I’m tired, but I will post a part 2 with the characters involved and some memes that my brain has decided to make up before posting this.

[cheemken]

pls share mre abt the champs pmd au

Okay so technically the same intro of every pmd game where the hero gets transformed to a pkmn and all that yeah, that but w the champions hahah

So

Lance - Dragonite

Steven - Metagross

Wallace - Milotic

Cynthia - Garchomp

Iris - Axew

Diantha - Gardevoir

Hau - Rowlet

Leon - Charizard

Geeta - Kingambit

Yes I'm not making Geeta a Glimmora bc honest to God this is the first time I ever truly hated a Champion's team so I changed her team a bit in my aus so her ace is Kingambit now, and yeah the Alola champion in my aus is Hau bc I think he deserves it really

Anyways yeah, they all got separated when they got transported to the digital pokemon world or smth and ofc like I said this is very Diantha centric so yeah Dia met this spunky Gabite named Gus and he's like a bundle of energy, asking her a lot of questions and yeah they ended up forming an exploration team bc he always wanted to find a lot of treasures but no one every wants to join him

So yeah, Dia and Gus go on adventures w Dia having random memories abt her past, like how that one time during a thunderstorm she sees this boy donning blue clothes instead of Gus, but damn they're just so similar man and she always had this need to protect the young dragon

Dia kinda became his guardian and yeah he's really happy being w her bc someone finally joined him on his adventures and even listens to him

They're kinda like treasure hunters really, so they go from dungeon to dungeon finding special treasures there and keeping it to themselves hahah

And yeah they meet up w the rest of the champions one by one and Dia's all "oh, they're kinda familiar.."

And yeah some more angsty shit happens hahaha

[mckinlily]

Kill your darlings? Nay. Copy and paste to tumblr those bits you think won’t make the final cut.

Proof I AM working on that Allura-centric story in the foster care au. It’s just taking me approx. 10,000 years to finish it:

Shiro came home a few hours later, retrieved Hunk and Lance from the basement, (“Did you get lost? Did you get held captive by a ghost? Seriously, please try not to piss off the dead, we have enough issues without the paranormal.”), dragged Keith in from the fire escape (“What were you even doing out there?!”), and confiscated an apparently illegal chemistry set from Pidge (“But, Shiro! I need to prove the basement isn’t haunted!” “Not by bringing toxic chemicals in here, you’re not.”). He also brought home three boxes of very cheap cheese pizza for them all. They sat in a circle on the living room floor, eating straight from the box, the air filled with snickers and well-meaning bickering. Once the last slice was fought over and consumed (won by Pidge in a very complicated and violent game of rock-paper-scissors), Shiro picked up the empty pizza boxes and his keys and turned to Allura.

“You good to go home?”

 For a moment, Allura had forgotten the apartment wasn’t home. It was tiny and cramped and excessively loud ninety percent of the time, but it also felt alive in a way she hadn’t been in a long time. It wasn’t hers though, and Keith was giving her a look that suggested she was reaching the end of her welcome, and she was really looking forward to a shower and wearing her own clothes. So she collected her things and waved goodbye to Keith and Lance who were wrestling over use of a controller while Pidge and Hunk egged them on.

“Please don’t kill anything,” said Shiro in a long-suffering voice and was largely ignored. 

[destinywillowleaf]

alright, this is one HELL of a shot in the dark, but...

I'm trying to find the origin fic of this song. "Too Big For Us" was a song that was included at the end of a Voltron Legendary Defender fic and I cannot for the life of me find the story.

There is every chance that this fic was deleted.

From what I remember, it was a Lance-centric 5+1 about him being the one to act as support for the others (and then the team supporting him in turn). I'm 99% sure it was on FFN since I didn't really start reading fics on AO3 until 2019-ish. The song might've been something put in an author's note as a broken up YouTube link thanks to no outside links allowed on FFN. (It... COULD have been Hunk as the focus character? but I'm pretty sure it was Lance. I've been telling myself it was Lance as the focus at least. god if it ends up being hunk and ) There weren't any ships as far as I remember either.

The file says it was modified on February 19th, 2017, which I assume is the day I downloaded it or the day it was published, seeing as the listed "creation" date is in March 2022 and I know I've had it for longer than that. If I'm remembering things right, it was posted as part of the last chapter of the fic, because it was a multichapter (I'm... slightly less confident in the multichapter status but I'm pretty sure it was?)

The order characters are referenced in the song was also the order they were in each chapter... but I have no idea which section Pidge is supposed to be @~@ part of me says I was annoyed/confused about the lack of a Pidge section the first time around too but it's been like 6 years so idk how much of that thought I actually believe. Otherwise, I think the order is Hunk, Keith, Allura & Coran, Shiro, Lance, and Pidge was somewhere in the middle.

The lyrics, as best I can make them out, are under the cut. A few lines are covered up in just the wrong way by the piano chords so I'm sort of guessing with the words in the brackets. (The mixing really isn't the best but I have no room to complain since I'm not a musician of any variety)

Together we sit, as he relearns how to breathe His heart races with panic, deep set anxiety And demons fill his head as he fights off another's Ignore what still hurts as the light of hope is smothered

A boy in a bubble made of experience and fears A knife in hand and heart to protect him from tears Because bonds only seem to lead to pain Until someone can teach him to connect again

And in the end they'll come to me Cause everybody does And we'll fight together Cry together Wipe each other's eyes together In a war too big for us A war too big for us

A family in all but name, they say [stare??] comes in pairs A gentle touch is calming as a [??? braiding] hair When there is too much to do [without?] doing too much Go to him for support, drown their sorrow with a laugh

He's a fellow protector, with secrets to hide Whose fears and insecurities surface in the dead of night He's in need of help but doesn't want to burden That finds a companion, someone to confide in

And in the end they'll come to me Cause everybody does And we'll fight together Cry together Wipe each other's eyes together In a war too big for us A war too big for us

But sometimes your strength Could use some strength of their own, before it's too late Cause even the strongest of pillars Can crumble under the weight

But in the end they'll come to me Cause they know I need some love And we'll fight together Cry together Wipe each other's eyes together In a war too big for us A war too big for us

Series: Part 7 of And Never Again Feel Weak

Summary:

Keith remembers every detail in vivid clarity.

Remembers the fear shaking down to his bones. Remembers Red's anguish burning their link, threaded through his own skin. Remembers a soft noise through the frazzled comms, barely there at all. Remembers the pain in his hands and his straining muscles as he tried to force Black's jaws open.

Remorse was like a waterfall between them.

She couldn't save them both.

//Lance and Keith deal with the aftermath of a traumatic acciden

Finally let myself accept the realization that you should just never read an angst fic involving/following Klance, no matter how much hurt/comfort there is. It will. Never. Be enough to fix WHATEVER the fuck just happened.

Like holy shit did that hurt.

XMENTALITY: X-Men Evolution S01E06 - Middleverse

SUMMARY: Scott and Kurt get into a fight over Scott being too up-tight and Kurt goofing off too much. Kurt bamfs away and ends up uncovering an old private science lab on school grounds. Rogue follows him and in fighting over a piece of machinery, accidentally transports him to the "Middleverse" where Kurt meets Forge, a student from the 70's who has been trapped all this time. Forge creates a machine that allows Kurt to temporarily teleport back to the corporeal world for just a second, and it's long enough for the X-Men to figure out how to save him. But not before a fight with the Brotherhood.

It's time for our first Kurt-centric episode! This one also has so many moments that make me chuckle.

I can't get over the fact that the school let Forge build his own private science lab on their grounds, including traps that self-destruct the entire thing. Bayville in the 70's must've been wild lmao.

Rogue accidentally transporting Nightcrawler to the Middleverse is so funny just because her response is basically to shrug and say "oh well I guess he's gone", then throws the thing in the trash.

Fred isn't exactly the smartest kid around, huh. Saying "We weren't doing nothing" to Principal Darkholme while literally dangling Scott by the scruff of his neck is also very funny to me. He's lucky it's of course actually Mystique in disguise.

I wish I knew why the writers decided to give Forge a prosthetic arm instead of a prosthetic leg like in the comics? I guess just because they wanted to make it so he could turn it into different tools, which would be hard to use if it was on his foot instead of his hand of course.

I have to laugh over the fact that it's taken 6 episodes for the X-kids to learn that the Brotherhood is working for Mystique. Like, let's be real, they probably could've pieced that together by now. Or hey, here's a thought, why didn't Xavier tell them? Same way he hasn't told them their principal is actually Mystique? LMAO Xavier is the worst no matter what version.

Lance, my dear Lance... why do you have a salad bowl on your head? I otherwise like his costume in this show, but oh my god, that salad bowl is something else.

Finally, I find it hysterical that once the machine is broken, the Brotherhood boys just... leave. They're just like "well okay bye see yah next time" and they just... leave. The X-Men basically wave them goodbye and they just... leave. The fight just ends and they just leave. IDK I just. I just really find that amusing that it's like they were on a timer this episode and weren't allowed to stay out past their bedtime or something.

[branmuffins22]

Thanks for the tag! Sorry about the absence these last few weeks (and all those unanswered asks 😬). Health has been a smidge sketchy, spoons and sleep in short supply. But I've been a bit better lately, I think!

Filenames (all are fanfics of The Owl House):

Masha and the Very Normal Nocedas; a post-finale, pre-epilogue, Veesha-centric longfic about Masha's increasingly crazed attempts to figure out the whole Deal™ with Luz, Vee, and Hunter. Meanwhile, the Nocedas are trying as hard as possible to be normal and inconspicuous, made difficult by their various traumas, talents, and a certain purple palisman's refusal to leave her witch's side. It's a light-hearted mess. I've still got some edits to do to the chapters I've already written (mostly for flavor), and I'm still trying to draft the second half-ish of chapter 3 (it's already been outlined), but once all that's done, I should be able to start posting with a comfortable buffer.

Something Like a Bible; a test document of sorts for my canon rewrite, tentatively either the "Artificer AU" or "Overthinker AU", going over the broad-strokes plot and its divergences from canon via a series of short scenes and vignettes. The characters and motivations remain almost entirely unchanged, but I'm lengthening and rearranging the timeline to explore new plots and leave more space for supplemental adventures in the season 2 equivalent, as well as doing perhaps a bit too much worldbuilding, headcanon dumping, and so on. I think I need to go back and flesh out the second half of the season 1 equivalent, but then I can pick up with the meat and potatoes of the magic system exploration.

Small Town Paranormal Investigations; an episode from the aforementioned AU, in which the Hexsquad and Cabin 7 team up to, as the name suggests, investigate some paranormal activity in the small town of Gravesfield. It's mostly about the ghost hunt, but it'll also include Vee coming out to her friends from camp. I'm writing this one in something as close as I can manage to the style and pacing of the show, and I only just finished the opener, with small blurbs written of later scenes, so there's still a lot to do. Thankfully, the brainrot has been very kind to this fic lately.

Snippet is the tail end of the opening scene from Small Town Paranormal Investigations:

The temperature suddenly did a nosedive, as something like a breath of icy wind blew past, the faraway echo of a sharp woosh trailing behind it a full second later. Goosebumps sprouted along their arms and legs, and the hairs on the back of their neck stood straight up. They felt as though they'd stepped into an industrial freezer, all warmth blasted away in an instant, still gone long after the culprit gust had passed. The others must've noticed it too, as all four of them went tense and still. "Brr," they shivered, "The heck was that?" "Beats me!" said Baker. "A cold front?" Lance offered. "Oh, looks like a whirlwind," said "Luz", nervously pointing just off to the side of the sidewalk. Sure enough, a tiny scattering of schoolday detritus, from gum wrappers to flashcards, twisted and danced away at astonishing speed. It slid straight under a tree, incidentally gathering a few leaves, and then bent around the corner of the school building, the warmth of the spring afternoon returning at the very instant it passed from sight. "…Weird," Masha remarked. "Yeah��" "Luz" sniffed once, twice, before making a rather intense face. "Very weird." Masha raised an eyebrow at her. They opened their mouth to ask something, but before they could find their words, she turned back to keep walking, prompting the others to do the same. "Wanna do that hangout today? Right now?" she urged, pulling out her phone. Lance responded first, "Hm? Sure." Baker followed, "I'm down." Masha, though, merely stared at her for a bit. She was clearly deflecting, trying to change the subject. But why? "…Yeah," they relented. "Cool. Just gotta let my mom know where I'm at," she muttered. Scanning over her shoulder, she was already at least three messages deep into a conversation, though they didn't spot Mrs. Noceda's usual contact photo. With some hesitation, they decided to drop it, for now. It was probably nothing, anyways; just some weird wind putting them all on edge. Though their own brain was trying to tamp down ideas about the strange and supernatural, hers was probably just stuck on the fear of the unexplained. Besides, she'd always been kinda jumpy. It'd make sense for it to bug her the most. Oh well. If she ever wanted to talk it out, they'd listen.

WIP Wednesday Game

It’s WIP Wednesday, time for a little accountability, sharing your work, and getting a kick in the pants.

Here’s how it works:

In a reblog of this post (so people can find you in the notes) or new thread (w/ rules attached) if you want to play on your own, post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to play!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event or gift fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. I’ll be searching the reblogs to find people to send asks to!

If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Game snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.

Requested/Friend event mentions under the cut! If you'd like to be pinged next week, let me know!

Day 9 - Failings of a Frozen Heart

Ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42287235

-

Summary: A Lorelei centric romantic angst fic. I don’t know what else to say about it.

-

Note: Yes I’m whumping genocidal characters, who’s gonna stop me???  

I listened to the same song I did while writing day 7. I love that edit, it’s so good for emotional whump. It’s mind numbing and you can just WRITE. (“C418 - Aria Math, but your Minecraft world is ending around you,” by Tumble40 on Youtube.)

Cws and Tws: Romantic rejection and confusion

Words: 633 (Dude it’s so short but I am SO PROUD OF IT.)

Prompt: THE VERY NOISY NIGHT | Sleeping in Shifts | Tossing and Turning | Caught in a Storm

-

Chapter text (under cut):

Lorelei lay on her back, staring up at the ceiling of the cave as the wind whistled outside. Beside her was Lance, but though he was pretending to sleep (his breath coming and going in soft regular intervals) Lorelei could tell he was awake. Maybe there was something about the way he was posed that gave him away (because he was certainly a good actor in his breathing), and maybe there wasn’t, but either way Lorelei could tell that he wasn’t sleeping.

She sighed (a bit more heavily than she had intended to) and rolled over onto her side. There was an odd distance between her and Lance (both physically and not). That morning, Lance had confessed his love to her, and instead of reciprocating, or even just turning him down, she had simply run away. Later that day, when Agatha had called the three of them together (Bruno wasn’t invited to their planning meetings), they had been forced into the same room.

Lance tried to act like nothing had happened, but it was clear something was bugging him and the meeting had to end early. Lorelei wouldn’t have admitted it to him, but she had been secretly just as glad to be away from him again. She wasn’t scared of him (even if she logicly should be), she certainly wasn’t uncomfortable around him (at least not usually), but someone  about being near him was making her feel odd.

Being near this man, this man who she had known for so long (this man who she had spent the last two years conspiring with), was now awkward and odd. It was like the ice that surrounded her heart was cracking. Melting away with the realization of the feelings that had been frozen like a forgotten society in permafrost. 

She did love him. She really did. (And she had to wonder if she always had.) She rolled back onto her back, allowing her eyes to trace over Lance’s ‘sleeping’ form. He was nice (or at least he was nice if you fell into his image of an ace trainer), and he was as strong as he was in battle just by himself. Besides, it wasn’t every day that you met someone with a similar ideology to you when you were like him.

Lorelei let her mind drift back to the rushing wind that swiped past the cave door, occasionally backing it’s way past the wall that her Dewgong and his Dragonite made and stabbing right through her bones. She wished she was back at home, in the warm air of Four Island (or the chill of the ice caves that she had grown up with).

To be honest, Lorelei wished she was anywhere but here, with her heart (which had been frozen for so long) finally cracking under the warm gaze of her friend. But even though such a thing should have made her feel like she was finally close to someone, it only left the fire (melting the cold walls of her heart) begging for more kindling.

She found herself crying, even though the cold wind threatened to freeze her tears on her cheeks. She shouldn’t have run away. She should just tell him she loved him. There were so many things that she should do or should have done, but Lorelei could already tell that she wasn’t going to be able to do any of them.

It just wasn’t the type of person she was. Even if her heart was thawing, she was so used to just letting it freeze over again that there was no way she would change now. The wind whistled outside and her Dewgong made a small noise in it’s sleep.

And she felt just as small. 

Her frozen heart was failing her, in more ways than one.

End of chapter notes: Ignore that I literally forgot to post this lol.
