Mario and Luigi for the drabble, “When I’m with you, I’m home.”

Thanks!

I realized I'm answering this one out of order. Whoops! Anyway, have some pre-Mushroom Kingdom conversations and lore-building as your author reminisces about the New York of the '90s.

~~~~~~

He wonders, sometimes, what their lives would have looked like if they had never left Brooklyn.

Barring a miracle - pretty bleak, in all honesty. Maybe being here, in the Mushroom Kingdom, was the miracle. He remembers the frenzied few days leading up to their disappearance. The previous few months had been a mess of unpaid bills and awful business decisions governed solely by spite and fear. They were probably a few months of missed rent payments away from eviction. They were definitely two days away from getting their kneecaps bashed in by some loan shark’s goons. 

He and Mario had gone for a walk, all the way down to Coney Island, 75th to Stillwell to Bowery, to the decrepit-looking Wonder Wheel and a depressingly empty Nathan’s Hot Dogs. It looked like the last of the hotels, some once-bright vestige of his mother’s era, had finally been condemned, tall wire fencing curling up towards the grey winter sky, a perfunctory guard which did nothing to keep out the local graffiti artists and homeless population. 

Luigi jammed his hands into his jean pockets, shivering. He couldn’t tell if he was freezing or terrified.

“What are we gonna do, Mario? We can’t stay here. If he doesn’t get us, the landlord will. You see how they’re starting to develop all that stuff around 86th Street. It’s going to travel north and we’re already behind two months in rent. We can’t stay in Bensonhurst.” Luigi sighed, little frozen puffs of air floating from his mouth. “I don’t even know if we can stay in Brooklyn at this rate.”

It was a miracle they weren’t out on the streets already. For once, their landlord’s habit of sitting around with a bottle of Thunderbird watching Honeymooners reruns and screaming at “that bum El Duque” to throw more strikes fell to their advantage. Sure, there was no such thing as maintenance in the dilapidated six-floor walk-up. But they were plumbers, tradesmen - a leaky faucet or misbehaving shower wasn’t going to be an issue.

Unfortunately, they weren’t also exterminators. 

Mario took a large bite of his hotdog, mustard splattering on the gum-stained sidewalk. It looked like something they’d hang in one of those trendy galleries that kept popping up in lower Manhattan, down around Houston Street. 

“We’re gonna be fine, Lou,” Mario said between bites, bits of bun falling from his mouth.

“We’re gonna end up homeless.” Or missing our kneecaps. Or worse.

Mario crammed the last of his dinner in his mouth, finishing off the hot dog with a few loud chews. He gave a contented sigh, licking at his greasy fingers before wiping his hands on his pants. “No, we’re not gonna be homeless. I’ve told you a million times, Lou, we could be in a cardboard box under the Van Wyck. When we’re together - “ Mario slung an arm around Luigi’s shoulder, pulling him in tight. “When I’m with you - I’m home. We’re unbeatable. And that means we’ll make it through this.”

Luigi eyed his brother’s yellow-tinged fingers and stained shirt cuff, hoping the impromptu moment of fraternal affection would pass. He could deal with Mario’s sunny optimism, usually. But living in a studio apartment one step up from a garbage dump had apparently encouraged his brother’s disposition towards a more slovenly existence. They might be home when they were together, but it wouldn’t hurt if Mario took a damn vacuum to himself once in a while. 

“Mario, I think this time - ”

“Oh, I get it.” The warm arm around his shoulder disappeared, his brother’s voice hardening. Luigi snapped his head to the side, his heart rocketing into his throat. What did I say this time?  

“It’s the location, isn’t it?” His brother gave him a searching, serious look. He looks just like Dad. He even seemed as if he were towering over Luigi, just like Dad used to, despite Mario being the shortest of the three of them. “You’d prefer a box under the BQE.”

Luigi gaped. “I - what?”

“Nah, nah, okay,” Mario waved his hands. “Let’s talk location. You wanna be by the Belt? Or maybe - “ A sly smile grew under his brother’s burgeoning mustache. “You want to move to Queens.”

“Oh my God,” Luigi groaned, slapping his forehead with his palm, pulling his hand down over his eyes. I’d move to Jersey if it got us out of this mess. “Mario, be serious.”

“I am serious! Your secret’s safe with me, bro. Even if you would betray Brooklyn like that." Luigi felt two steady hands take him by the biceps. “Besides, we’re gonna be okay.”

“Vinny Razzanti’s uncle said we had forty-eight hours,” Luigi groaned between his fingers.

Mario barked out a laugh. “Vinny Razzanti’s uncle couldn’t tell a pizza from a clock if we arranged the pepperonis the right way. The guy’s a dumbass.”

“Yeah, but he’s - “

“No, I ain’t hearing it.” Mario gently guided Luigi’s hands from his face, keeping his fingers wrapped around either wrist as he brought Luigi’s arms to his sides. “Look at me, Lou.”

Luigi swallowed down the wet desperation clawing its way up his throat, opening his eyes to his brother’s concerned, but steely gaze.

“If he comes, he comes. I’ve got a baseball bat next to the mattress and you can - “ Mario waved one of his arms in a broad gesture. “I dunno. Make some kind of exploding gadget or something. You used to want to show off your stuff to Cooper Union, right? Well, think of this as practice, you know, for the application.”

Luigi gave a small shake of his head. I don’t think home pyrotechnics meant to fend off low-level mafia muscle are going to impress the admissions committee. Not that they were going to waste their time with a twenty-one-year-old plumber’s application, anyway. That dream was long gone, buried in Cypress Hills along with their parents. 

“Here’s what we’re gonna do,” Mario’s voice broke through his dreary ruminations as he guided Luigi towards Bowery Street. “We’re gonna walk home, maybe pick up a cannoli on the way. Then we’re gonna check the answering machine. If we’re lucky - and I’m feeling pretty lucky right now - there will be a call from some lady in Borough Park.” His brother’s eyes gleamed. “No, even better, some widower in Carroll Gardens. One of those nice brownstones. She’s going to ask for our help. Clogged drains, backed up shower, toilet’s kablooey.” Mario made a slobbering sound meant to resemble a backed up toilet. Luigi thought he sounded like a dog on downers. “The whole shebang. We’ll say, of course, we can fix this, but we’ll have to charge the emergency rate. You know, business and all that. Three hours later - maybe four - boom! Vinny Razzanti’s uncle is out of the picture and we’ll be on our way to the good life.”

“You make it sound so simple, bro.” Luigi couldn’t quite contain the bite of sarcasm that accompanied that statement. 

As always, his brother took his waspishness in stride. Long strides, in fact, as they hurried past the metal skeletons that made up the Coney Island Train Yard, the whirr of traffic from the Belt Parkway rushing and thumping above them. Luigi felt like at any moment some old, rusted buckle would give way, sending a line of cabs and buses crashing into their heads.

He felt like that most of the time these days, to be honest. 

“It is simple, Luigi. You just gotta think positive. You never know what’s around the corner.” Mario tugged at his sleeve. “Now, come on. If we walk fast enough, we can get to Villbate’s before they close.”

“Alright, alright, you win, Mario. Something’s around the corner and for once, maybe it won’t be a guy with a baseball bat.” No. It won’t be a bat. It’ll be something worse. Like a flamethrower. Luigi was too tired to argue with his brother’s indomitable optimism. “Maybe we’ll get to your widower in Carroll Gardens and find the answers in her bathroom.”

Mario slapped his brother on the back. “That’s the spirit, Lou! Could be a whole new world waiting for us. Now let’s go - there’s a pistachio cannoli with my name on it and I am not missing out.”

“Hey, the pistachio cannolis are mine!”

“Not if you don’t run fast enough!” Mario gave his brother a playful push, taking off down Stillwell Avenue. Luigi watched his brother leap over a pile of trash bags, skittering between two cabs, one of which blared its horn in anger.

“Where you go, I guess I follow,” Luigi muttered to himself, adjusting his cap before taking off in his brother’s direction. And who knew? Maybe something was waiting for them around that corner.

Mastering the Art of Plumbing: Essential Tips and Tricks for Every Homeowner

Introduction: Plumbing is the circulatory system of your home, quietly working behind the scenes to keep everything flowing smoothly. From the moment you turn on the faucet to the flush of the toilet, plumbing plays a crucial role in our daily lives. However, when plumbing issues arise, they can quickly turn into a homeowner's worst nightmare. But fear not! With the right knowledge and a few handy tips, you can become a plumbing pro in no time.

Understanding Your Plumbing System: Before diving into fixing leaks or unclogging drains, it's essential to have a basic understanding of your home's plumbing system. Typically, plumbing consists of two subsystems: the water supply system and the drainage system. The water supply system brings fresh water into your home, while the drainage system removes wastewater.

Common Plumbing Issues and Solutions:

Leaky Faucets: A dripping faucet may seem like a minor annoyance, but it can waste a significant amount of water over time. Usually, a leaky faucet can be fixed by replacing a worn-out washer or O-ring. Remember to turn off the water supply before attempting any repairs.

Clogged Drains: Whether it's in the kitchen sink, bathroom shower, or toilet, clogged drains are a common plumbing problem. For minor clogs, a plunger or plumbing snake can often do the trick. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your pipes over time.

Running Toilet: A toilet that continues to run after flushing can waste gallons of water and inflate your water bill. In most cases, a running toilet is caused by a faulty flapper or fill valve. Replacing these components is relatively simple and can save you money in the long run.

Low Water Pressure: If your faucets are trickling instead of flowing, low water pressure may be the culprit. Potential causes include mineral buildup in the pipes, a faulty pressure regulator, or a partially closed shut-off valve. Checking these components and cleaning or replacing them as needed can help restore proper water pressure.

Frozen Pipes: During the winter months, exposed pipes are susceptible to freezing, which can lead to burst pipes and costly water damage. Insulating your pipes and keeping your home adequately heated can prevent this issue. If you suspect a frozen pipe, never use an open flame to thaw it—instead, use a hairdryer or heating pad.

DIY Plumbing Tips:

Invest in Quality Tools: A well-equipped toolbox is essential for any DIY plumber. Basic tools like wrenches, pliers, and pipe cutters will come in handy for most plumbing projects.

Know Your Shut-Off Valves: Familiarize yourself with the location of your home's main water shut-off valve, as well as individual shut-off valves for sinks, toilets, and appliances. Knowing how to turn off the water in an emergency can prevent water damage to your home.

Practice Preventative Maintenance: Regularly inspecting your plumbing system for leaks, corrosion, or other signs of damage can help catch potential issues before they escalate into major problems. Additionally, scheduling annual professional inspections can identify hidden issues early on.

Conclusion: While some plumbing tasks may require the expertise of a licensed plumber, many common issues can be resolved with a little DIY know-how. By understanding how your plumbing system works and learning some basic maintenance techniques, you can save time, money, and stress in the long run. So don't let plumbing problems dampen your spirits—empower yourself with knowledge and tackle them head-on!

AU where Eren is a plumber instead of a mechanic

Mikasa calls in some plumber Sasha recommended her to fix her leaky faucet and she's stunned when she opens the door and sees the hottest man she has ever laid her eyes on. She can't stop stuttering and blushing and before she can even understand what she's doing she's breaking her kitchen faucet again as soon as he leaves to have an excuse to call him again. She's shameless, she even starts tampering with her shower head after a couple of times to keep him in her apartment even longer. She tells herself that she'll finally muster up the courage to ask him out after each time but she always cowers away as soon as his eyes meet hers. Eren also likes her but he doesn't even think there's a possibility of her being interested, after all she is a hotshot lawyer while he's only a plumber

omg k but I don't think Eren wouldn't notice, like the third time she 'loses' her ring down the drain he catches on lol! She's so attentive when he's there, sits on the counter while he works, talks to him, brings him drinks like lemonade and such, sandwiches. After like the tenth time he's standing at her door while she gets some cash out and he's like Mikasa, are you going to keep sabotaging your plumbing or are you finally going to ask me out?? She's super cute and blushy after but they have a date set for that night!

Leaky kitchen sink pipes, broken shower heads, car tire changes, Shane can do it all. Learned as much as he could from the older guys around town while growing up, the car mechanics and the plumbers and family friends, the basics, in the very least. Never would he allow Jean to do the work. Too pretty a woman to get her hands dirty, least her grandson so thought, it was Shane's responsibility. He was the man of their house. He would do the manual labor. Even at just 12 years old - those handyman skills were true lifesavers, especially as he grew into adulthood.

Say Goodbye To Clogged Drains This Summer

Pipe Cleaning

Summer is a good time of the year to take care of your pipe cleaning needs. Letting blocked drains fester can lead to disastrous results; toilet overflows, water damage to your walls and even flooding. Taking the time to properly inspect and maintain your pipes can save you a lot of money in the long run. Start by making sure that the pipes in your home are thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed out from time to time. This will help prevent sediment buildup, which can lead to clogged drains.

Another way to keep your pipes clean is to use a preventive solution. If you live in a home where your pipes are subjected to a high amount of sediment, then a preventive solution like a highly concentrated citric acid mixture can help keep your pipes free from build-up. The citric acid solution should be applied periodically to help maintain the cleanliness of your pipes.

Plumbing Maintenance

In addition to pipe cleaning and preventive solutions, you should also be sure to perform regular maintenance on your home's plumbing system. This can include checking for leaky joints, testing the water pressure and inspecting the drain lines.

Checking for leaky joints should be done on a regular basis. Even if you don't see any signs of a leak, you should at least check for small spots or streaks because these can indicate a weak seal in your plumbing system.

Testing the water pressure in your home can help you identify any problems in the plumbing system. Low water pressure can be a sign that there is something clogging up the system. You can use a pressure gauge to check the pressure and if it's low, then you may need to have the pipes inspected or contact a licensed plumber.

Inspecting the drain lines is also important. You should check the bathtubs and showers at least once a month to ensure that the drain pipes are clear. A plunger or a plumbing snake might also be necessary to help clear out any clogs that have built up in the pipes.

Blocked Drains

One of the most common plumbing problems that arise during the summer months is blocked drains. If a clog is present in the drain line, the first thing to do is to try to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If this doesn't work, then you should call a plumber to help you clear the clog.

If the clog is present in the main drain line, you may need to contact a professional plumber to take care of the issue. In some cases, professional drain cleaning services are necessary in order to keep the problem from coming back again.

If you notice any signs of a clogged drain such as bad odors, slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or standing water in the sink then you should take steps to clear the clog as quickly as possible before it causes further damage.

Say goodbye to clogged drains this summer by taking the time to properly maintain your pipes and drains. Regular pipe cleaning and preventive solutions can help keep your pipes and drains functioning properly. Additionally, getting your drains checked periodically can help diagnose any potential problems before they become bigger issues. Don't wait too long to address any blockages or clogged drains, as they can cause costly damage to your home.

Common Shower Problems and How Professional Repairs Can Help

A well-functioning shower is a cornerstone of any bathroom, but like any frequently used home fixture, showers are prone to issues over time. From leaking faucets to poor water pressure, shower problems can disrupt your daily routine and lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed. Hiring a professional for shower repair service can save you time, money, and frustration while ensuring your shower works perfectly.

Common Shower Problems Homeowners Face

Low Water Pressure Low water pressure is a common problem and often results from mineral buildup in the showerhead, pipe blockages, or issues with your home’s plumbing system. While a DIY fix like cleaning the showerhead might seem simple, persistent pressure problems often require professional diagnosis and repair to address the underlying issue.

Leaky Showerheads and Faucets Leaks may start as small drips but can waste significant water and increase your utility bills. Worn-out seals, damaged valves, or corroded fixtures are often the culprits. Professional shower repair services can pinpoint the cause and replace the faulty components to restore efficiency.

Clogged Drains Hair, soap scum, and other debris can easily clog your shower drain, leading to slow drainage or even standing water. While chemical drain cleaners may offer a temporary fix, they can damage your pipes over time. A professional plumber can safely and effectively clear blockages.

Temperature Fluctuations If your shower water alternates between hot and cold, the problem might lie in your water heater or your shower’s mixing valve. These issues often require the expertise of a trained professional who can repair or replace the faulty parts.

Cracked Tiles or Mold Growth Damaged tiles or grout in your shower can lead to water leaks and mold growth, causing further damage to your bathroom walls and floors. A professional service can replace tiles and re-seal grout to protect your home from moisture-related issues.

Why Professional Repairs Are the Best Solution

While DIY fixes might seem cost-effective, they often provide only temporary relief and can lead to bigger issues. Here’s why opting for professional shower repair services is the best course of action:

Expert Diagnosis Professionals have the experience and tools to accurately identify the root cause of your shower problems, preventing unnecessary repairs and additional costs.

Efficient Repairs Certified plumbers can complete repairs quickly and correctly, ensuring that your shower is back in working order with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Guaranteed Workmanship Hiring a professional often comes with a warranty or guarantee, giving you peace of mind that the repairs will last.

Preventive Maintenance Professionals can inspect your shower system for potential issues, helping you avoid costly repairs down the line.
