#let their brains touch

[sf-bl]

(File this under 'sometimes I just want to draw a thing' but also 'working on things way too long until I want to throw them in a fire.') CCEO AU, in their Rhack era: local space station and his boyfriend enjoy inventing new and suggestively-acronymed Echonet protocols for putting a guy's [brain] in your [brain]. (Yes, Rhys has a robotic left arm in this image, due to an upgrade path not backwards-compatible with Having Arms.)

Everyone loves it except Shockwave… he wants to touch Soundwave and the bundle of chaos forging inside him but Ravage forbids it.

living weapon whumpee who's never known anything but pain and violence.

their existence hurts. they were made to be effective, not happy, and their masters decided that keeping them in constant pain provided better results. they're wilder, more unpredictable, and the pain keeps them from thinking straight enough to question anything.

they're only given painkillers, only allowed a respite from their seemingly endless suffering, after a successful mission. it keeps them loyal, and most importantly, teaches their brain to associate acts of violence with relief and rewards.

everyone they've ever met has treated them as a tool, a monster, or both. they don't know how to be anything else.

that is until they're rampaging through a village, destroying, killing, whatever their masters demand of them. whatever will give them a few blissful hours of numbness.

one of the villagers steps out of a ruined building and looks them straight in the eyes. whumpee expects fear, hatred, disgust, the things they see in the faces of every person who's ever crossed their path. but they see something completely different.

compassion.

whumpee is so stunned, they don't think to move or do anything at all as the villager steps closer, gently reaching out a hand to cup whumpee's face.

"oh, poor thing." they murmur, taking in the creature in front of them - part human, part animal, part machine. "they've done a number on you, huh?"

whumpee blinks at them. pain continues to course through their body, but the gentle hand on their cheek distracts them, even if just a little. all the indistinct noise in their foggy, addled mind finally goes quiet.

caretaker had stepped out in front of the being destroying their home with the intention to get through to it or die trying, and the expectation to absolutely die trying.

they did not at all expect the seemingly feral mishmash of metal, fur, and flesh to lean so heavily into their touch that they nearly collapsed into caretaker's arms.

Started this back in February when it was more topical but... I suppose no time is a good time for romance as far as Theo is concerned.

Art-a-Day Day 16:

CCEO AU.

Just after getting Rhys out of Old Haven with his head tangled in a space station.

Taking the very best/worst decision. Jack inside Rhys, Rhys inside Helios. 200% as good as they imagined it'd feel to have the physical/digital pressed right up against their senses. Got a little exploratory. It's better when there's someone in there to feel it with you; don't think about why.

(Immediately followed by Rhys passing out in a cold desert covered in sand and regret.)

I need you to know that every time I see your personal cat in cowboy boots I am driven once more to embroider it onto a denim jacket. I still have one pair of your cats saved as a reaction image because they convey such an emotion.

Whether or not you go through with it, the mental image has enriched me more than you can imagine.

alright I’m bored so here’s my extremely optimistic crack theory: assuming katsuki seeing a vestige means we’ll see him in the vestige realm, when kudo sorted through izuku’s memories he put his forehead on the wall right??

what if izuku is having a crisis about being left quirkless again and vestige katsuki needs to touch foreheads with izuku to show him all his memories of izuku being heroic without a quirk and he tells him “you never needed a quirk. you were always a hero” or something like that because it’s what izuku always needed to hear

season 3 janeway hanging out with her kiddies more is a big fave era of the AU for meeeeeeeee <3 she's awkward at it but she's trying :')

Resolutions and Basics happen and it's the beginning of a shift for her in feeling like she actually wants to be a mother. It's a slow burn up through Coda which conveniently shares an anniversary with Threshold = their first birthday, seeing what she's missing (though the alien in Coda would probably try to frame it in her mind as being like "they're going to be fine without you" but she'd see it and be like "im missing these moments with them :(" and afterwords she'd finally make the decision to be more involved in their lives.

[Image description: Illustrated comic of journal entries from Kodira. Each comic panel is separated by a line of text from the journal.

Text: July 8th, 2021.

Image: Kodira and Hand of Guidance on a small motorboat.

Text: I accompanied (blank) Guidance to her research today. (Redacted square indicates that Kodira perhaps wrote another name before revising.)

Image: Close up of a thick notebook. Written on it are “Research of The Merfolk”, scrawled underneath is labeled “Devo la Main”.

Text: It was her biweekly meeting with Devo. “It’s an important one, so I wanted you to come.” She had said.

Image: Kodira sees Devo, who is greeting her excitedly.

Text: I’ve only gotten to meet Devo twice before, but from what I’ve heard,

Image: A pile of research papers, detailing merfolk’s tails.

Text: We owe a lot of what we know about the merfolk to him.

Image: Devo gesturing for the boat to follow him towards a distant island.

Text: When we met with Devo further out at sea, he had gestured us to follow him towards a hidden cave.

Image: Devo introduces Amber to Kodira and Guidance inside the dark cave, slightly illuminated by magical glowing particles.

Text: There, he introduced us to his companion, another Merfolk from his reef by the name of Amber Gris.

Image: Amber and Kodira shook hands. Guidance is off to the side, waving to Amber and Devo with her hands.

Text: She was a Sharkfin. Best of her kind, she proclaimed.

Image: Duo panels, with Amber mischievously grinning up at Kodira, and Kodira looking down at her, smiling amusedly.

Text: I can’t be quite sure if that’s true, but with the glint in her amber eyes, and that dangerous toothy smile… I think I believe her.

Image: This panel is textured like a notebook, indicating that we are actually seeing Kodira’s notes. Featured prominently is a messy full-body drawing of Amber swimming.

Text, shown to be handwitten: Amber Gris might not be the first merfolk I’ve ever seen, but to me, she is perhaps the most beautiful mesmerizing intriguing, scientifically speaking. (The words beautiful and mesmerizing are scratched off).
