#long lost daughter

[r3dcarat]

a long lost daughter?

so i was once again roaming around this app and listening to daddy issues by the neighborhood featured syd and came up with this storyline of bruce having a daughter that he didn’t know about with a woman of his past. this is kind of an self-insert when it comes to background but other than that it’s mostly an oc lol. but if you want to read this as yourself go right ahead. i hope y’all like this little intro.

(not proofread lol)

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

A regular day out with the whole family.

On a Saturday which is usually always busy for the girl's father.

A rare occasion of a family being all together and sailing out to the streets.

To wherever the car takes them.

That’s what was supposed to happen.

Not this.

Not the sudden car in front of them.

The said car then crashed into the car holding the family.

Not the sudden deaths.

The said deaths of people being nothing but smashed guts and liquid.

It wasn’t supposed to happen.

But the real question is, how was there a survivor?

Out of all five people in the car only one remained unscathed.

The daughter of two parents and sister of two brothers.

A sole survivor.

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Obligatory Alastor and Niffty art because their little moment in the finale was everything to me I can't wait to see them interact more in the next seasons

Also bonus sketch bc I just know he kept the crown on the whole evening

[neat-crows]

So I've been re-watching dr who for the first time ever rn, with a friend who's never seen it before, so I'm seeing all these episodes for the first time since I was 13 and picking up on a LOT that I never noticed before, and holy shit the tenth doctor is SO WEIRD to Martha Jones, and nothing exemplifies that more than the sontaran stratagem/the poison sky.... like..... he is SO weird the whole way down.

When they first see each other again their introduction directly mirrors Jack and The Doctor's in Utopia

"Doctor" "martha Jones" laugh and hug

"doctor" "captain Jack" laugh and hug

And then! they have a normal interaction!!! WIN he asks how her family is and how she is, and they're smiling and genuinely seem like friends very happy to see each other!

And then.... donna drops the fiance bomb.

He turns with a look of.... almost anger? disbelief? and asks WHAT MAN?? Then martha explains who he is and the doctor....

he looks? upset? and then like, resigned? AND THEN martha admits that her fiance is kind of similar to the doctor, and then donna asks "Is he skinny?" and his reactions

is to make a face like "yeahh" AND START NODDING????? like he's taken Martha's admission to mean she's with a man that's just like him, and honestly seems a bit smug over it, and then when Martha says no-

he looks so taken off guard and betrayed ??????????? BRO we are less than 5 minutes in..............

He then proceeds to be tetchy with her, and to be fair this is mostly because of her involvement with unit, and his discomfort with how militaristic she's gotten - which I think comes both from anger at himself for how he's changed her, and also discomfort that she's no longer "his" Martha, she's changed, and he doesn't know her as well anymore.

he tells her off, he's snide and judgmental, he won't even look at her until she tells him to, and he's honestly bitchy - Until she explains herself, and tells him off for being so judgmental, i also think his line "oh so it's my fault" is very telling because..... it literally is? like yes, you put her in situations where she had to become harder and more used to violence......... and he KNOWS it. He's doing what he did all through series 3, which is feel guilty or bad and then take it out on Martha (that's for another post though) until she stands up for herself (get his ass!!) and then when she's finished she looks at him

determined, but eyes darting back and forth waiting for his reaction, on some small level hoping for his approval

and only THEN does he start to smile, and he tells her "that sounds more like Martha Jones." she's back to feeling like she's still his (to him, Martha is acting incredibly normal and platonic). The doctor has always had a weird possessiveness with Martha, going all the way back to their first episode where he hand picked her, and in this second of her looking for his approval, he feels that again, and he IMMEDIATELY started flirting again - please go watch the scene it boggles my mind how fast he switches.

I also want to be clear, Martha isn't flirting back, she's acting extremely normally. She's clearly taken the time away from him to get over, not only romantic feelings, but any anger as well. She seems to have come to terms with how she feels with everything that happened, and she loves and cares about him, but she's not naive to his faults - I also don't think she even picks up on him being weird to her in this scene. She's no longer in tune with his every mood swing, she's not here to fix him, or cater to his needs, and so she no longer notices these small moments from him.

AND THEN.... the clone.

He never flirts with the clone. The ONLY time, is the very first time they interact, before he's realized something is wrong.

he calls her over to come with him, and his face is honestly way too close to hers. bro is a menace. but then, maybe 2 minutes later, he immediately clocks that this is not Martha.

he realizes there has to be a spy and only has to consider for half a second before he turns and asks about her family, he's already realized she's acting a little off, and the second she answers he's 100% certain.

and he gets MAD. he tells her Donna went home because she's not like her, she's not "a soldier" clearly a shot at the sontarans, but also another subtle test, the real Martha wouldn't let that slide, and he wouldn't say that to the real Martha. He continues saying Avanti, instead of Allonse-y, which is interesting, because he already knows. He's not doing this to confirm his suspicions, he's doing this as retaliation. To confirm to himself he knows Martha better than this fake, he's toying with her. BUT. He doesn't go to save Martha.

The next episode, the doctor's daughter, he refuses to accept the label of soldier, but Jenny rightfully points out that he strategizes like one And this is one such moment. He knows Martha is a clone, he's mad and upset, he could go save her right away, but he doesn't. He doesn't because it serves him best to allow her to keep shutting down the nuclear launch.

It reminds me a lot of when Cassandra possessed Rose in New Earth, he played a long for a little bit, but that was just to figure out what was happening. He IMMEDIATELY tried to fix it, I just wonder if it was any other companion if he would have done this. If it was Donna would he have left her for so long? even if it was strategic? it's this weird conflict the doctor has now that he's very very protective and a bit possessive, but he also treats her like an equal on the battlefield, and it's a weird... trust? he has in her to take care of herself.

I kind of don't want to call it trust because that sounds too positive, but I don't know another way to phrase it, but it's a forced independence and self sufficiency.

but then, he finally goes to save her

He goes and cradles her face gently, and NOTABLY says "good, still alive" MEANING HE DIDN'T KNOW??? and still left her for that long...

but he holds her gently, and fully ignores the clone. He has his back to her, and then proceeds to taunt her. He tells her he clocked her right away because of the pupil size, thin hair, and he says she smells. but we know this isn't true.

Sure maybe those physical traits are true, but that's not how he figured it out, we saw how he did it, he clocked on because he knows Martha so well, but he can't admit that. He can't admit that he knows her just as much as she knows him, just like he couldn't tell Rose he loved her.

He is so deeply angry at this clone, he makes fun of her, he yells at her, he looks at her likes she's nothing

This is his face when he kills her. He doesn't talk to her, or even TRY to save her. And we know she is alive, she has memories, and her own thoughts and feelings, and the doctor kills her while gloating because of his immense anger for hurting Martha. An anger that is also guilt.

he does not speak to her like a person (which directly leads into his treatment of Jenny in the next ep).

Parallel that to how Martha treats her, they talk about their family and she even calls the clone Martha. She really is a doctor in a way ten tried and often failed at.

And then at the end, Donna asks Martha to come with them, and she says no, and that she's happy at home, but she's better for having traveled and come back.

And the doctor looks at her

With an obvious sadness, but also acceptance. He clearly wants her here, with him, but I think he's finally come to accept that that'll never happen, and he needs to let her go.

Edit: I Like their dynamic(mostly) This is not an anti tenmartha post Him being a freak is compelling

Prompt 138

Danny squints up at the blurry form cradling him, brain trying to catch up with his situation. He can feel the pulse of his siblings’ cores nearby, gently pulsing contentedly despite the chaos of his last memories. His limbs feel too small and pudgy, too-small fingers gripping onto something as his vision started to clear. 

There was a man, holding him? Cradling his too-small form like he was an infant- was he an infant? He was pretty sure he wasn’t supposed to be, he had been older but now he wasn’t. He squinted up at the stranger, green eyes meeting green. Huh. They kind of looked like he could be their dad or something.

Also I just finished the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (2024) mini run and I just gotta say….

[kindaasrikal]

The ninja think Lloyd has a twin brother after seeing an old photo of a pair of blonde and brunette teenagers in an old album.

They completely forgot about the fact that the (really old) picture held two teenagers and is a photo they don’t remember. And that Lloyd didn’t become a teenager under the most normal of ways.

After theorising for an entire night after sending Lloyd on a random mission, they came to the conclusion that Lloyd’s long lost twin must be living on the streets, like Lloyd once was. And since Lloyd was evil on the streets before living with the ninja, only to then become the most good person alive, then by magical twin logic Lloyd’s twin is the actual evil one with a traumatic backstory.

In hopes of not letting Lloyd remember (they assume he either chooses to hide those memories in pain or he has amnesia) of his evil and having left him behind family member number 2 (3 on the second one) they go out searching for a brunette teenage evil whose trying to take over the world in a random village.

After a whole week of searching they found squat and Lloyd and Wu got tired of it all, and cornered them to spill the truth. Shockingly enough, it was Zane who was feeling the most pressure over the secret and blurted it out with a little of pressure. Before crying out apologies over not finding his evil twin brother and saving him from the “DARK VISCOUS PATH GARAMDON WAS FORCED DOWNNN IT WAS ALL OUR FAULTSSSSS” as he sobbed.

Wu and Lloyd, rightfully confused, and very concerned because to be perfectly honest this would be expected of their family after Morro was hidden from them (Wu please don’t have any more secret hidden children) and how they are in general, call Misako and Garmadon.

Garmadon screams and Misako is very much prepared to murder everyone, because she can remember her own pregnancy thank you very much. Until, well, she remembers the family she joined. And the job she has. And then when the Ninja are convinced something is up, and even Lloyd is nearing the same state his father and Zane are in, with Wu questioning he should actually go through that old scrapped plan to kidnap Morro from the Departed realm if this random twin is also dead, Misako yells at them all to be quiet and wait for her and Garmadon to show up. Harumi can be heard cackling in the background when they all end the call.

When Misako and Garmadon arrive, the ninja and co are found completely silent. Misako is already sick of it all and Garmadon look like he might strangle the ninja for answers, so she just straight up asks them what made them convinced Lloyd has a twin.

Lloyd, Wu, Garmadon and Misako all stare at the ninja, who in turn sweat. Slowly, Nya gets up to grab a book off the shelf they hid it between.

And when they opened it to the page the picture was in, they were all silent as they absorbed it all in.

Then Wu snorted, and it became chaos after. Garmadon was both laughing his ass off and cussing them all out. Misako was muffling her own snorts behind her hands, shaking as she struggles to hold herself up on a wall, the ninja are staring completely baffled as Wu is giggling into his hat, and Lloyd is glaring confused between the two people in the picture, before slowly looking up and asking “is…is this?…”

The ninja are even more confused and even a little offended by that, and Kai starts pointing at it all like “Its your evil twin! I swear it!! Who..ahem, looks a lot like a certain old classmate right-”

And Wu just gets up, grabs the album, looks at Garmadon, and says “Lloyd really does look similar to us, doesn’t he?”

And Garmadon, who was wondering if he should stab the ninja after giving him such a huge scare, scoffs and says “Of course he doesn’t, he looks exactly like Misako!” And then looks at the picture and says “…Though, he does have my amazing hair, and your ugly eyebrows.” Lloyd takes zero offence and believes it a compliment when it comes to him.

It takes a second more of silence before Misako begins snorting again at the ninja’s faces when they realise.

Jay’s jaw is dropped, Cole is staring between Garmadon and Lloyd, Zane begins scanning the photos with Wu and Garmadon’s face, Nya is trying to ask for an actual explanation, Kai is frozen, and Lloyd.

Lloyd literally falls on the ground in relief. He’s had enough family drama to deal with, no more is necessary.

Scenario where Miles gets really injured during the final fight with the Spot and his costume is damaged and you can see his face. His mother, his still living father see his face and rush to his side thinking their baby had died. He is of course gonna make it but they don’t know that and the first thing he does is apologize for lying and not telling them cause “I didn’t want you guys to be disappointed.” Before passing out. And they just hold him begging not Spider-man to get back up but their little boy who was supposed to be going to those great big places.

Now picture Miguel watching. Watching someone else’s world fall apart and he’s pushed back into that place of cradling his scared and confused daughter the same way Rio is her son. The only difference is the pained sobs of a mother who outlived her child compared to that of his silence disbelief and grief. The statuesque pose Jefferson is stuck in exactly like his was, as if he didn’t move the moment in time would freeze and he’d another second left with his son.

And all Miguel thinks as he become the reason a world has crumbled again is “What have I done?”

– some vampire the masquerade x changeling the lost concepts that will not leave me alone.

"but vtm and ctl are from different settings–" shhhhhh :)

— part 2.

before i begin: i have been dabbling in vampire the masquerade and changeling the lost content for a while, i am not a fan of changeling the dreaming and vampire the requiem is unfamiliar to me. anyway! buckle up, enjoy the ride, this is kind of long.

trigger warning for abuse/unhealthy parental relationships because vamps i guess.

first of all: i recently read vtm: bloodstained love. while it focus on the more romantic and sexual aspects of kindred relationships with a lot of references to obsessive/posessive behavior and grotesque acts of love, it also made me wonder how those would translate to platonic or familial relationships. add some changeling shenanigans to that and we have some interesting concepts to play with! and with that being said...

– you're a changeling. kidnapped into arcadia and trapped there for who knows how long. in your durance, you dream of going back home, of reuniting with your friends and family, escaping your keeper to finally, finally enjoy freedom in the world you were born in.

– and one day, you do escape. back into your world, never feeling completely safe with your keeper looking to get you back and huntsmen being a very real threat, but you're ready to rebuild your life and enjoy your newfound freedom.

– there are various mentions throughout the ctl books on how unsuspecting or heedless changelings might have their freedom stolen again, this time by kindred. so, as it turns out, you'll have to deal with creatures other than the true fae who are more than willing to keep you caged!

the angst potential in a changeling reuniting with ther parent(s) only to find out they've become something inhuman, and not all that different from their keeper is unmatched.

maybe you watch them from a distance first. maybe you excitedly seek them out. maybe you just randomly bump into your parent by complete chance, after presuming them dead or deciding to abandon your old life. maybe they find you.

but the point is: they're kindred. so different from when you last saw them, as a teenager, as a child, before you were taken. as if having huntsmen and your keeper after you wasn't trying enough, a vampire parent comes (back) into your life to make it even more complicated.

a ventrue dad will make his ghouls your bodyguards, following you day and night. it makes you insanely uncomfortable, as you liken them to changelings serving true fae back in arcadia. he says it's because of his own dangerous kindred affairs that might affect you, but after an unplesant encounter with the huntsmen he might just decide you shouldn't be out and about at all.

your parent is either a neonate or an ancilla by the time your return from arcadia. your fetch is dead for whatever reason, expired, after living a life in your stead, automatically making the vampire believe their child is dead– now imagine their surprise and confusion when they see you– real you, living and breathing. and maybe you're distraught, too, seeing that they haven't aged a day or should, depeding on how long you've been gone, be most definetly dead.

(this is absolutely NOT going to send the vampire parent into a mental breakdown and spiral into obsession upon discovering the child they have lost and buried was literally a soulless copy of their real child who got kidnapped by faeries. a clone made out of twigs and a cat's eyes that stole their child's place and they never noticed. everything is just fine. it does not them affect them mentally at all :3)

(bonus points if the fetch was killed by the vampire parent's enemies after being entagled in their mess. they feel like they are getting a second chance and will absolutely not screw it up! cue you, poor changeling, being locked away or put under heavy surveillance.)

on the other hand, a kindred parent who currently has a living fetch of their child just being EXTREMELY distraught when they keep spotting someone who looks exactly like their kid at random places they definetly shouldn't be at is very funny and kind of unsettling!

(a vampire mom just feeding on mortals at the club, socializing with other kindred, perhaps dealing with some unresolved issues with her sire, etc. Then she spots you, her real kid, unbeknownst to her, just chilling, among all those dangerous vampires, when you're supposed to be in your dorm room at least a thousand miles from there. she calls the fetch's phone, expecting you to pick up and start explaining yourself. your fetch answers the phone, talks to her, sleep-drunk and confused as to why she's calling so late, but the person she's looking at has made no motion at all. they're not talking. they have not picked up the phone. but that's her kid's face, she's sure. what the fuck?)

for low-humanity ancillae/elder kindred, having their child back might bring about long-forgotten mortal feelings of genuine parental love, although they might express in the very unorthodox way kindred would. they simply do not understand why their child does not want to be around them. they just want to bond with you and keep you safe where kindred and fae can't get to you, make up for lost time. what do you mean they're "just like your keeeper"?

i think a lot of kindred parents will leave you be, mostly brujah or gangrel, knowing you'll be safer if they keep you away from their world. provided there was no fetch to replace you, they think it's amazing enough you were found alive and well after years of being a missing person. you don't like talking about what happened in your... "durance"... fine, they'll keep the investigators off your back, too. they might not even know you're no longer human. but they are going to check on you once in a while, or keep tabs on you, or even have some of their people watch you from a distance. just to make sure.

(just don't let them catch wind of all the changeling shenanigans or huntsmen attacks on your person. that might just change their mind...)

kindred parents might believe you're safer away from their world, yes, but they can just as easily bring you into the mess of kindred society without a second thought.

not very fun being a fairest when your toreador mother insists you show your mien to impress her fellow clan mates and other kindred with your overwhelming beauty. she's always been a pageant mom, so this shouldn't surprise you. there's several layers of wrongness to this, from having your changeling identity exposed to multiple vampires to further your mother's social status to this very situation bringing back so many unpleasant memories from your durance, and it's bound to end badly.

(the toreador pageant mom could very easily be a nosferatu pageant mom, a cleopatra now living vicariously through your fae-given beauty.)

(she will realize how terrible a mistake that was when vampires start really paying attention to you. or not. who knows.)

(gifts that could easily have come from a true fae lord start pouring in. letters written in excessive passion, bouquets of bloody roses, dresses made out of human skin, all delivered by equally dazed-looking ghouls. perhaps your mother will know, then, she fucked up severely. or maybe she'll just tell you to be grateful for those wonderful gifts.)

on another hand, a nosferatu parent taking one look at their fairest child's mien and deciding "oh. no kindred can see you like. ever. stay away from toreador specifically". you don't know what a toreador is, but you'll try to heed the advice.

your ancilla mother meets your motley and proceeds to show them baby pictures of you, taken in the 1870s shortly before your abduction to Faerie. they are very well preserved and you look most proper in your little sailor outfit.

you have a beast/ogre seeming and your gangrel parent thinks you're pretty rad :) you go hunting together.

your tzimisce dad has living furniture made out of human skin, but it's nothing you haven't seen in arcadia before. he's a little disappointed by your lack of enthusiasm, and very offended when you tell him your keeper had better taste in couches. trying to evade a tzimisce dad after he's been made aware of your existence is a difficult task, and you will get caught and held captive at one point (for your safety, of course!). if there is a fetch currently living your life, they will be immediately killed or horribly tortured (read: vicissitude) for the crime of decieving the tzimisce and impersonating you, regardless of you already having decided to leave said fetch alone.

(tzimisce dad thinks you should be thankful. he dealt with the imposter. shouldn't you be happy?)

(if he’s got cash and has some land within his domain to spare, he might let you build a little home not too far from his own to give you a semblance of independence to try and settle you down. might.)

(on the other hand, you have the chance to become a really good escape artist. take your time in captivity with your tzimisce dad to practice your escaping and running away skills, after all, every good changeling needs it! you also get the bonus of reliving your childhood/teenagehood with all the sneaking out.)

(quick intermission: all of these concepts might result in low-clarity for the changeling?? i'm not too sure how clarity damage works yet.

update: it absolutely might!)

your malkavian mother thinks she's plagued with visions of her missing child, glimpses of what they might look nowadays, wherever they are. this is actually you, visiting her in her dreams through oneiromancy.

(everyone thought, back then, that it was just a scare. you wandered into the forest and for ten hours people searched for you, only to find you safe and sound, without a scratch in your body or a speck of dirt in your shoes hours later. but she knew better. she knew that wasn't really you. it haunted her for the rest of her life, and it haunts her unlife even now. she never made it to the hedge.)

you can't take your tremere parent ANYWHERE. you give in after endless nagging and take them to a goblin market, but their arrogance will get them roped into terrible deals if you don't keep your eyes on them full time. you do take this as an opportunity to show off your changeling capabilities. you're in your element.

(you also drop life-altering bits of Faerie lore at random or inappropriate times. it sends them spiraling. you just hope they won't share it with anyone...)

darkling changeling just chilling with their nosferatu dad in the sewers, sharing rats.

and that's all for today, folks.

Sad Arcane theory: Vi will kill Warwick. It will be a final-nail-in-the-coffin moment for her, cementing her on a path of no return (perhaps as "Piltover's Enforcer"). Paralleled with her sister killing Silco and cementing herself as her League role, "Jinx". If theories about Ekko and Vi falling out turn out to be true, Warwick's death would be a tragic moment where Vi, having cut off all ties to her past, turns her back on the Undercity once and for all.

I Promise You

Pairing: Dean Winchester x daughter!reader (Family Fic)

Warning: Y/N use

Summary: Dean had no idea he had a kid. That's why when suddenly a young teenager is dropped off in his care, he is so surprised. Will he be able to be the parent his daughter needs him to be?

*Not Proof Read*

□□□□□□□□

Dean Winchester is not a man easily thrown off his game. He's fought monsters, faced down death more times than he can count, and stared into the void of apocalypse without flinching. But when a young girl, no older than fifteen, is dropped off at the bunker by her frazzled mother with a curt “She’s your responsibility now,” Dean is at a loss.

Her name is Y/N. She’s awkward and quiet, sitting on the couch with her arms wrapped around her knees. Dean stares at her from across the room, not sure what to say. Sam hovers nearby, trying to read the tension while Castiel watches with his usual angelic detachment, though there’s a flicker of curiosity in his blue eyes.

Dean clears his throat. “So, uh, Y/N, huh? Guess, uh… you’re… mine?”

She nods hesitantly, her eyes darting between him and the floor. “That’s what my mom said.”

“Right,” Dean mutters, running a hand through his hair. He glances at Sam, who gives him an encouraging nod, but it does nothing to steady him. “Look, kid, this is… unexpected. You’re probably freaked out, and, uh, yeah, me too.”

“Dean,” Sam interjects gently, “maybe start with something a little less… overwhelming?”

“What the hell am I supposed to say, Sammy?” Dean snaps, then immediately regrets it when Y/N flinches. He softens his tone. “Sorry. I’m not great at… this.” He gestures vaguely, encompassing the entirety of their bizarre situation.

The bunker feels colder and quieter than usual as the hours drag on. Y/N barely speaks, only answering questions with monosyllables. She’s scared, and it’s painfully obvious. Dean’s heart aches in a way he’s not used to, a protective instinct he doesn’t know how to act on.

Sam, ever the peacemaker, steps in where Dean falters. He sits beside Y/N and explains things gently: the bunker, the supernatural, the Winchesters’ life. It’s a lot for her to take in, and she looks at him with wide, disbelieving eyes.

“Monsters are real?” she whispers.

“Yeah,” Sam says softly. “But we’re here to make sure they don’t hurt anyone.”

Castiel approaches next, his imposing figure somehow calming in its stillness. He tilts his head as he studies her. “You’re brave,” he says simply. “This world is overwhelming, but you will adapt. You are Dean’s daughter. That alone suggests great strength.”

She blinks up at him, unsure whether to feel comforted or intimidated. “Thanks… I think?”

Dean watches all of this from the sidelines, feeling like a fish out of water. He’s never been good at this kind of thing. He knows how to load a gun, gank a vampire, and hustle pool—not how to connect with a teenage girl who’s apparently his kid. Still, he tries. Over the next few days, he makes awkward attempts at conversation, asking about her favorite foods, movies, music. Y/N answers hesitantly at first, but slowly, she starts opening up.

Sam and Castiel seem to have better luck. Y/N warms up to Sam’s easy demeanor and enjoys his stories about their childhood. Castiel’s straightforwardness is oddly reassuring, and she begins to find comfort in his presence. Dean can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy, but he’s also relieved. At least she’s not completely miserable.

When a hunt comes up, Dean is reluctant to leave her alone. “She’s not ready for this,” he tells Sam, pacing the library. “She’s a kid. She doesn’t know anything about demons or ghosts or… anything.”

“We’ll be back soon,” Sam assures him. “She’ll be fine.”

Dean reluctantly agrees, giving Y/N strict instructions to stay in the motel room. “Don’t open the door for anyone. Don’t go outside. Just… stay put, okay?”

Y/N nods, sensing his anxiety. “Okay.”

That night, she tries to distract herself with movies, but the flickering lights and sudden loss of power send her heart racing. When she hears someone outside, she bolts to the bathroom and locks the door, her hands shaking as she fumbles with her phone to call Dean. He doesn’t answer.

“Please, Cas,” she whispers through tears, clasping her hands together. “If you can hear me, I need help.”

Seconds later, Castiel appears, his trench coat fluttering as he takes in the scene. He dispatches the demon swiftly and finds Y/N curled up in the bathroom, her face streaked with tears. “It’s safe now,” he says gently.

She looks up at him, trembling. “I want Dean.”

“He’s on his way,” Castiel assures her, though his awkwardness is evident. He tries to comfort her, but it’s not his forte. When Dean and Sam burst into the room minutes later, Dean immediately kneels beside her, his hands checking for injuries as she clings to him.

“I’m sorry,” Dean murmurs, his voice thick with guilt. “I should’ve told you more. This… this won’t happen again. I’m gonna keep you safe, Y/N. I promise.”

Later that night, after Y/N has fallen asleep, Dean sits at the table with Sam and Castiel, his head in his hands. “I’m screwing this up,” he mutters. “I don’t know how to be a dad. She deserves better.”

Sam leans forward, his elbows resting on the table. “Dean, come on. You didn’t even know she existed. You’re doing the best you can. She’s already opening up to you. That says something, doesn’t it?”

Dean shakes his head, frustration evident in the tight set of his jaw. “It’s not enough, Sammy. I missed everything. Her first steps, her first words. I wasn’t there when she needed me. And now? I can’t even keep her safe for one damn night.”

“You can’t blame yourself for that,” Sam counters, his voice firm but kind. “You didn’t know a demon would show up. And when she needed help, she called Cas. That means she trusts us. She’s starting to trust you.”

Dean’s eyes flick to Castiel, who nods in agreement. “Y/N called out in faith,” Cas says, his deep voice steady. “That is not something to take lightly. She believes in you, Dean. Even if you doubt yourself.”

Dean lets out a humorless laugh, leaning back in his chair. “Great. She believes in me, and I’m just trying not to screw it all up. I don’t know what I’m doing. Dad wasn’t exactly a model parent, you know? I don’t want to make the same mistakes he did, but… what if I’m already doing that?”

Sam’s expression softens. “Dean, you’re not Dad. You care about her. You’re trying to protect her, to make her feel safe. That’s already more than what we had growing up.”

Dean’s voice drops, raw and vulnerable. “I just keep thinking about all the stuff I missed. Teaching her to ride a bike, hearing her say my name for the first time. Hell, taking her to a daddy-daughter dance. She deserved all of that, and I wasn’t there.”

Castiel steps closer, his piercing gaze fixed on Dean. “You cannot change the past, Dean. But you can shape the future. Y/N is here now, and she needs you. You are her father. That is not a mistake. It is your responsibility and your privilege.”

Dean looks down at his hands, the weight of Castiel’s words sinking in. After a moment, he nods slowly. “You’re right. Both of you. I can’t change what happened before, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna screw up what happens next.”

He glances toward Y/N who's curled up on one of the spare roll-out beds. determination settling into his features. “I’m gonna do right by her. I’ll protect her, keep her safe, and… I’ll be there for her. Whatever it takes.”

Sam smiles, a mix of pride and relief. “That’s all she needs, Dean. Just you being there.”

Castiel’s lips curl into the faintest hint of a smile. “You are more capable than you realize.”

Dean exhales deeply, the knot in his chest loosening slightly. “Alright. Let’s make sure she knows that.”

Ok cannon will probably case me to revise this idea but I’m already attached to what I’m doing with smoked cheese so I’m not above throwing cannon to the wind if needed.

But anyways idea-

Burning spice taking an interest to smoked cheese because his ability to control monsters is like a weaker version of his ability to make minor creatures go berserk so he just grabs smoked cheese by the scruff and declares him his protige and smoked cheese is being dragged against his will back to the golden cheese kingdom by a fucking beast cookie and he’s just silently panicking because how tf does he explain he’s been blackmailed by dark enchantress into joining her side against his will and now this fucking beast has taken an interest in him and-

Smoked cheese is having a bad time and golden cheese is probably going to have a worse one YIPPEE

Burning spice is the only one here having a great time

[thepastneverforgets]

when miguel o'hara screams 'you're a mistake! if you hadnt been bit, your peter parker would still be alive" he might as well be screaming at himself "i'm a mistake! if i hadn't stolen my way into that little girls life, she and her universe would still exist" and that's projecting your trauma onto a teenager and abusing the future generation because you want to control and protect the current status quo 101

will always be fuck miguel o'hara o'clock.
