#mama bear commission

[pinknipszz]

short continuation of shogun!ryomen sukuna

numb is the feeling that courses through your limbs. a norimono so lavish, evident in its golden grooves and gilded glamour, is held proudly on the shoulders of six samurai whose faces remain hidden under their leather jingasa. although you do not expect it from anyone affiliated with the shogunate, much less armored men with more arrogance in their hearts than alcohol, they are kind enough to spare an ounce of privacy as you regard your parents for the last time.

you try to memorize the warmth of your mother’s arms as she weeps. “we’re sorry, we’re sorry,” a trembling hand cards through your hair. you neither comfort nor condemn her, but hold her tightly instead. when you tilt your head up, there are rivers rolling down her raw cheeks, collecting under her chin before spilling onto your kimono. you don’t know which of the stains are hers or yours. “we wouldn’t have done it if we had known— would’ve never sent you in the first place.”

your father only watches with hands curled into fists, tight-lipped and teary-eyed, but he doesn’t cry. whether he’s upset over losing his only daughter to a tyrant, or being cheated out of a potential bargain, something dances on the tip of his tongue but remains behind his teeth. “don’t say that mama,” you whisper ruefully when a samurai approaches to collect you. “don’t cry for me anymore.” but her sobs never cease, not even when you cross the horizon and your father takes his turn to hold her. 

the wedding itself is nothing significant. no ceremony, no banquet, no nothing. the only evidence of that day is a painting of you and your now-husband, wearing embroidered garbs and solemn faces, hanging high in the foyer as an example of incarnated divinity for servants and samurai alike. you lost count of how many months it's been there. whenever you cross the space, you can’t help but pause and crane up, your eyes drifting towards painted ones. the woman in the painting always stares back with disinterest.

but when you pick apart the layers in her concealed expression, you count the fear. the ire. the anguish. you recall the shogun’s only words to you that day: “did your mother cry when you left?” you think the artist must share the same twisted humour as him to have painted your reaction to such a tasteless question. when you feel your throat tighten around a broken sob, your gaze shifts to the shogun, who still radiates insurmountable power even in artistic expression. you count the tattoos on his flesh.

“don’t tell me you’re bored of it already,” a sudden voice chuckles beside you, pulling you out of your stupor. there’s a beat of silence before you stiffly turn to meet the real eyes of your husband, whose sanguine pools swirl deep with malicious intrigue. the shogun lazily tilts his head back, eyes narrowing in amusement at how your expression hardens. “i was under the impression that women like art, otherwise i wouldn’t have commissioned the artist.” you fight the urge to spit on his face.

“it’s fine,” you snap fiercely, fists clenching at your side. you don’t care if this man fought beasts with his bare hands and whispered war in the hearts of men. he stole you from your home, forced you to marry him, commissioned a painting about it, and to rub salt in the wound, displayed said painting in the foyer for the entire estate to gossip about. and while he’s off exploiting the country for his sick pleasure, you wander the halls like a ghost for people to gawk at, as if you aren’t capable of handling domestic affairs on your own.

surprisingly, the shogun does not speak of your outburst, his silence only allowing you to recollect your bearings. when you do, you desperately search those eyes for anything other than apathy. maybe a hint of sadness, or regret, or even pity. but there’s nothing. defeated, your gaze drops to the floor in a silent surrender. another battle conquered. as you wait for some sort of reprimand, or a strike to confirm rumors of his savagery, you briefly think that the shogun will celebrate this in your shared chambers later, but nothing comes.

only, your eyes widen marginally when ghostly fingertips brush against your right cheek. you watch a thumb run across the soft flesh several times, before gathering it between a finger and pinching. the sharp pain makes you yelp and swat his hand away, but the shogun merely chuckles. once he relents his ministrations, he pulls strand of your hair and twirls it around his finger. “you could’ve just told me you didn’t like it.”

Sonic Underground: Guardians

Notes:

Aleena had tried to ensure all of her children were in deposited safely, but unfortunately, this did not happen as planned

Uncle Chuck

Chuck had heard of what his sister-in-law had been told by some crackpot oracle and tried to head off Aleena as she dropped off her children

However, he was only able to locate retrieve Sonic, and, due to the circumstances, believed his other nieces to be dead

Furious with both Aleena and himself, he went underground with Sonic

Chuck and Sonic were on their own for a few years, with Chuck helping the resistance where he could while helping Sonic figure out and work on his speed

Sonic (8) found an abandoned Tails (3) when he was exploring a woodlands area during one of their "Camping Trips" and brought him home

Chuck wasn't planning on adopting Tails (having planned on trying to locate the pups parents or at least drop him off at the Sanctuary), but ended up getting as attached to the kit as much as Sonic had

He was mostly winging it with them (apparently most people don't let their 4 year old disassemble and reassemble a tank engine to see how it works or check their 9 year old's running speed with a police speedometer)

He lost his leg during his last 1-1 encounter with Robotnik at the start of his takeover (a fair enough trade for the destroying the dictator's eyes and arm in his opinion)

Chuck was the initial reason Robotnik hated hedgehogs due to their shared history

Lady Elodie Windermere

Lady Windermere is a Bear (bc she's apparently not a bear but a dog in canon???)

Elodie had just lost her husband when Sonia showed up on her doorstep

Sonia was her sign to keep moving on, and she dedicated herself to Sonia's happiness and safety

Due to Robotnik's hatred of hedgehogs, she told everyone, including Sonia herself, that her ward was a Tenrac

going so far as to hire a tenrac maid in order to fake medical records for her protection

Sonia was made to cover her ears (the key visual difference between the two species as well) when going out in public and as she grew older, hide her back quills with custom reinforced corsets

As one of the highest aristocrats, she covered this by setting a new fashion trend of "earcaps" amongst the younger members of the court, allowing Sonia to blend in further

When Sonia's super strength revealed itself, Elodie worked with her daughter personally on her control, working with her in their gym as well as hiring self defense trainers for Sonia to have a good outlet

Went full Mama Bear mode on Sleet and Dingo when they DARED suggest arresting her daughter

Her arrest caused much scandal amongst the aristocrats, as she was the one most turned to when they needed a listening ear, and a resulting source of several dozen secrets NO ONE wanted to reach Robotnik's ears

Farrell

Farrell is a Cricket

former war veteran (medic)

he lost most of his upper right arm and was honorably discharged

despite his service, it wasn't long before he was living on the streets, where he spent the next 3 decades mastering the all the skills he'd need to survive and establishing a low-crime ring

Of all Farrell's students, Manic was his favorite, and made sure his kid had "nothin' but the best"

best as he could manage anyways

despite the attention it drew, he encouraged Manic's "jam sessions"

when Manic was younger, it wasn't uncommon for him to fall asleep to Farrell's chirping lullaby

their hideout was an abandoned weapon factory in the industrial district that the Swatbots "miraculously" kept missing

Manic learn a lot of his tech skills from playing with the old abandoned machinery

I guess November hit me with inspiration today. This is for @winterpower98 after several of us chatted about the Eclipse Twins and Wukong trying to be friend them in his unique way.

Must. Stay. Still. And. Silent. 

This was what Wukong was telling himself, over and over as he, transformed into a large teddy bear, laid in the arms of his precious Cherry. She had started to cry from a terrifying encounter in the city an hour earlier and now that she was safe in her and Apple's room, she let it all out. The Monkey King desperately wanted to hug his little girl, but he couldn't. He had to stay still and silent as he listened to her sobs while clutching him close. 

How did he get into this situation, you may ask? 

It started when he had stumbled across one of the twins' hideouts. He didn't realize it was one until too late, having spent time looking around until they came back. He had panicked and transformed into the first thing he could think of: a large teddy bear. They had been suspicious at first before figuring it was a gift from Zan. It was about 30 minutes before they started to snuggle with him which made him a very happy monkey dad. 

He would keep visiting them, pretending to be just a regular teddy bear. They would rant to each other and him, they would snuggle up and sleep, and with Mami as their teacher, even began to practice and learn how to groom using him as a dummy. He had gotten a stern talking to when he ran into his mother after that first lesson. Wukong was grateful that his mama was looking out for his sweet little twins. 

This was the first time either of the twins had cried on him. His heart broke as he listened to his scared little girl sob against him. He listened as his little boy tried to comfort his sister, reminding her she did nothing wrong. That she wouldn't be kicked out for a mistake. Those words made the transformed king want to cry and hold them even more. He knew he couldn't keep doing this. He was already afraid of breaking the trust they had managed to forge together. It would definitely break if they learned he was the one with them and not an actual teddy bear. 

Which was why he had commissioned Bai He to make a replica of him so he could give the twins their privacy and they could still have their teddy. Or their Eclipse King as they called him though he would have preferred something like Sir Bearington the Third. 'They are such their mother's kids', the transformed king can't help but think. He has to wait for a few more weeks before the bear would be ready. Until then, the fearsome Monkey King must stay still and silent, as he comforts and supports his cubs. 

Still and silent.

Brotherhood

A commission for @dustinlaughlin where his oc Hardy Wiley and Charlie tries to recoil her father Lucifer and Uncle Azarel their relationship. Things sure do happen!

Hardy Wiley belongs to @dustinlaughlin

Sophie and Blitz McKnight belong to @loli-momo1908

Sophie was showing off her costume to her brother and friends since Halloween was coming in a few days.

Sophie - *excited* “Look at this cool witch costume Niffty made me!”

Blitz - “Wow Sophie, your costume looks really amazing.”

Niffty - “I can make you a costume Blitz!”

Angel - *flirty* “He can be a sexy doctor while I can be his sexy nurse.”

Blitz - *annoyed* “In your dreams, you idiot. to Niffty* No thanks Niffty. I can make my own costume.”

Niffty - *bummed* “Aw. *to Hardy* Ooh what about you Hardy? I can make you a sexy bad boy and show off those delicious muscles of yours! *laughs creepily*

Hardy - *uncomfortable* “Uhh…No thank you Niffty. I’m fine.”

Sophie - *to Vaggie* “Are you gonna dress up Vaggie?”

Angel - “She’s already got her costume on: an annoying bossy witch!”

Vaggie growled in anger and annoyance.

Charlie - *cooing* “Aw Sophie, you look adorable! Remind me how I was excited for Halloween when I was your age. It’s my dad’s favorite holiday. Also mine. And Sonya’s. And Liz.”

Hardy - “Sounds like the love of Halloween runs in the family.”

Charlie - *nervously* “Well…Not all the family.”

()()()()()()()()()

At Sonya and Liz’s house, they were in their room deciding what their costumes should be so they can ready for Halloween this year.

Sonya - *excited* “Man, I love this holiday!”

Liz - “Hell yeah cause of all the candy we get!”

Sonya - “So any ideas what we should be?”

Liz - “I was thinking of something super scary, like Sadako Yamamura from The Ring. What about you?”

Sonya - “Maybe something magical like a fairy or a tiger since I love those guys.”

Liz - *nervously* “You think Dad would take us?”

Sonya - *doubtful* “I don’t know because it's like every year Dad gets grumpy around this time.”

Liz - “You don't think he's still mad from...*whispers* The Incident?”

Sonya - *whispers* “I hope not, I mean it's been years. Then again, he is the type that can hold grudges for years.”

Liz - “Do you think we should ask? He can be pretty scary when he’s angry.”

Sonya - “Good idea.”

Sonya went downstairs and saw her parents relaxing in the living room. Her dad Azarel was reading a book, while her mom Zella was knitting a scarf. Sonya took a deep breath and said:

Sonya - “Mom, Dad, can Liz and I go trick or treating with Charlie and Uncle Lucifer?”

Azrael simply grumbles without saying a word. Zella notices and remembers how her husband hates this time of year.

Zella - “Um…Sweetie it best you don’t ask that so your father don’t get stressed.”

Sonya - “But I-“

Her father gave her a stern stare. That’s the look Sonya and Liz know what that means and not to push their luck.

Sonya - *nervously* “Uhh…I’m gonna go to the hotel. We will be back before dinner!”

Liz - *nervously* “Uh, yeah, good idea.”

The two girls zipped away, leaving cloudy puffs.

()()()()()()()()()

At the hotel they were doing a show and tell day. It was Hardy’s turn and he was showing his friends his pictures from his training days.

Hardy - “This is when I had to run with rocks tied to my waist. It got hard but after that it felt like I was running with a pillow. And here's me when I was wrestling with a pack of bears. The toughest one was the Mama Bear. She was the alpha.”

Charlie - *shocked* “You actually arm wrestle with a bear?!”

Husk - “I kind of find that shit hard to believe.”

Niffty - “Did you get to kill it?! And make a coat after it?”

Hardy - “Not just arm wrestle, Charlie. I mean full-on body-contact wrestling. The Mama Bear had me in a squeezing hold and everything. And no Niffty, I didn't kill the bear.”

Niffty - *frowns* “Well that's boring.”

Angel - “Oh I do a lot of full on body contact wrestling in my movies. Sometimes there’s more than one if you know what I mean.” *purs*”

Blitz - *annoyed* “We didn’t need to know that Angel.”

Hardy - “Oh really? Who was your toughest opponent?”

A drum rimshot was played in the background, as Angel made an unamused expression. Charlie and Vaggie were holding in their laughter.

Sophie - “Hardy, you didn’t get hurt wrestling?”

Hardy - “Yeah, but like I said before, Grandmaster Mogwai knows a really good doctor that can bring you back from the brink of double-death.”

Husk - “If that's so, maybe I should see him.”

Hardy - “Really, why's that?”

Charlie - “Are you hurt in any way Husk?”

Angel - “I know different ways to make him better. He can get into the bed with me.”

Husk - *annoyed* “I just hope he's good with migraines. My biggest one is with Legs over there.”

Angel - *annoyed* “Hey!”

Then they heard a knock on the door.

Vaggie - “I got it.”

Vaggie went to the door and saw Sonya and Liz.

Vaggie - *calls* “Charlie, your cousins are here!”

Charlie - *happy* “There’s my baby cousins!”

Sonya - *smiles* “Hey Cousin Charlie.”

Sophie - *happy* “Sonya! Lizzie!”

Sophie ran and hugged them. Sonya and Liz smiled and hugged her back.

Sonya - “Hey Sophie, how are you doing?”

Sophie - “Good! I’m excited for Halloween! Are you and Lizzie gonna come trick or treating with me?”

Sonya - *doubtful* “Mmm not sure.”

Liz - “We tried asking Dad, but he's always grumpy this time of year.”

Charlie - *realizes* “Ohhhhh... You mean he's still mad about... that?”

Sonya and Liz nod with a frown.

Charlie - *worried* “Oh dear.”

Hardy - “Is there something wrong?”

Sonya - “Our dad gets grumpy around this time.”

Husk - “Why? Does he hate Halloween? I could understand that because of the fucking pranks.”

Hardy - “What does your Dad get mad about?”

Liz - “We wouldn't say that he hates Halloween. More like he's still upset about... The Incident.”

Hardy - *confused* “What incident?”

Charlie - “Well it happened when Sonya and Liz were six years old. After Liz was tamed. It was Halloween-“

Flashback

Little Sonya was giggling as Azarel was fixing her costume. Her costume was a blue butterfly.

Azarel - *gushing* “You look so cute as a butterfly sweetie!”

Little Sonya - “Thanks Daddy! Is Uncle Luci gonna be here soon? I can't wait to go trick or treating!”

Azarel - *chuckles* “Yea he’s coming and your cousin Charlie is coming too.”

Little Sonya - “Yay!!”

Little Liz - “She’s our favorite cousin! She’s so cool!”

The doorbell rings.

Azrael - “That must be them.”

Azarel opened the door and saw Charlie and Lucifer.

Lucifer - *happy* “Ray-Ray! There’s my favorite brother! Come here!”

Gave him a hug and Azarel was struggling a bit.

Azarel - *struggles* “Luci, you're crushing me!”

Lucifer - *lets go* “Oh come on, I haven't seen you for a long time! I think I have the right to hug my brother.”

Charlie - *happy* “Hi Uncle Azarel! *sees Sonya* Aw there’s my little cousin! Come here.”

Little Sonya squealed in happiness and ran toward Charlie and gave her a big hug.

Little Liz - “Don't forget me cuz!”

Charlie - “Aww of course sweetie!”

Charlie gave her a hug in shadow form. Their fathers were happy that their daughters have such a close bond with each other.

Azarel - “Well thank you again for taking them trick or treating. Zella and I would have done it, but we need to protect the house from pranksters and also give out candy to trick or treaters.”

Lucifer - *smiles* “Oh of course, anything for my sweet lil' nieces.”

Lucifer playfully pinches Little Sonya and Liz's little cheeks like a grandmother would. Little Sonya and Liz giggled at this.

Azarel - “Okay so here’s a list of the candies they can eat and the time they should be home *give Lucifer the note* And make sure they come back safe and unharmed.”

Lucifer - *smiles and salutes* “Yes sir! You can count on me, bro! *to the girls* Come on let’s go girls.”

As soon Lucifer, Sonya, Liz and Charlie went outside, Charlie saw Lucifer crumble the note and threw it away.

Charlie - *concerned* “Um dad, weren’t those the rules uncle Azarel gave you?”

Lucifer - “Hey don’t we need them. Rules are meant to be broken. Especially on Halloween.”

Charlie - *worries* “But dad, what if there was something important on that note?”

Lucifer - *scoff* “Don’t worry about it. Azarel is just being a killjoy like he always been.

Little Sonya and Liz giggled at their uncle’s comment.

Charlie - *doubtful* “ I...I don't know.”

Lucifer - “Oh come on, Charlie! It's Halloween! You don't want to make your cousins sad, would you?”

Charlie looks at her cousins as they give her the most adorable puppy-dog eyes that you could possibly make in their age. The cuteness was making Charlie falling for it.

Charlie - *determined* “You're right! Let them have fun!”

So for the next few hours, Charlie, Lucifer, Sonya and Liz were having fun trick or treating. Sometimes Sonya would switch with Liz so she can get some candy as well. They were getting a lot of candy and even pulling pranks on people. Like TPing their house, throwing eggs, and even leaving exploding pumpkins.

Then it was time to head home as Sonya was eating some candy from her candy bag. Even Liz was eating some too.

Lucifer - “See Charlie? Everything turned out great! We had fun, the girls had candy, and nothing bad happened. Everyone wins!”

Charlie - “Yeah. I guess I was worrying too much.”

Little Sonya - “Umm…Uncle Luci, I feel itchy *scratch her arm*”

Lucifer - *confused* “Hmmm, that's strange. You don't suppose mosquitoes are out tonight, do you?”

Charlie - *looks up* “No, I haven't seen anything.

Little Sonya kept scratching her arm more. Then Charlie noticed hives on little Sonya’s arm and it was spreading everywhere. Charlie and Lucifer’s eyes widen in shock.

Charlie - *cries* “Where did these hives come from?!”

Lucifer - *freaked out* “Oh geez! We gotta take her home!!”

Lucifer picked up little Sonya as he and Charlie ran back to Azrael's house. However, not wanting to get caught by his brother and sister in law, Lucifer made a portal for him, his daughter and little nieces to go through. After going through the portal, they ended up on the upstairs floor of the house in the hallway. Seeing the bathroom door, Lucifer quickly shoves them all in the bathroom. He turned on the light and said:

Lucifer - “Okay now to find some medicine.”

Little Liz - *worried* “Is Sonya gonna be okay? “

Charlie - “Don’t worry she will be fine. She needs something for the hives.”

Lucifer was looking through the medicine cabinet. However he was making a lot of noise moving some stuff around. The noises got Azarel’s attention.

Azarel - *confused* “What the hell? What's all that noise?”

Azarel walked upstairs and saw the bathroom door slightly open with the light on. He opened the door and saw Lucifer, Charlie looking worried as he went through the medicine cabinet. Little Sonya’s hives were spreading on her body and continuing scratching.

Azarel - What the?!

Little Sonya - *innocently* “Hi daddy! I got hives from candy.”

Azrael glares his eyes at Lucifer.

Azrael - *low growl* “Lucifer…”

Lucifer nervously smiles as he starts to sweat.

Lucifer - *nervously* “Hey Azzi…How ya been?”

Azarel - *calling* “Zella! Get the benadryl!”

Little Sonya - *excited* “Guess what daddy? I got a lot of candy! Rules are made to be broken.”

Azrael - “They what?!”

Azrael's eyes glow in anger as he snarled at Lucifer as he simply nervously chuckled and sweat even harder.

Lucifer - *nervously* “You know how kids like to joke right?”

Little Liz - “But you said- “

Lucifer - *covers her mouth* “Not now sweetie. We will talk it later.”

After Zella came with the benadryl, Little Sonya took the medience that made her sleepy. After putting on her pajamas, little Sonya went to sleep in her bed. Zella came back after putting Sonya to bed.

Zella - “There. She’s now asleep and I threw out the candy with peanuts so she won’t accidentally eat.”

Azrael - *relief* “That's good. Thank you honey. *low angry tone towards Lucifer* You. In the other room. We need to talk. Now!”

Lucifer gulped really hard. He knew that he’s in big trouble. He may be the king of hell, but he’s still Azarel’s little brother. Lucifer always hated getting in trouble by his older siblings.

Charlie - *nervously* “Umm Uncle Azarel maybe you shouldn’t.”

Lucifer - “Oh don’t worry Charlie I can handle this. Why don't you head on home and I will meet you when I'm done, okay?”

Charlie - *worriedly* “Um, okay…”

Zella - “Come, I’ll take you home so you won’t be alone.”

Charlie - *worriedly* “Okay, thanks Aunt Zella...*to Lucifer* Bye dad…”

The two walked out of the house to leave Lucifer and Azrael alone. Zella and Charlie got in the car.

Charlie - *worried* “Man, I hope Dad will be okay.”

Just then, Azrael's house flashed and glowed a really bright light as a loud roar was heard inside.

Zella - *worried* “Oh dear, it seems your uncle is upset, I fear.”

Charlie watched in worry as the house glowed from Azrael's fury.

End of Flashback

Hardy - *shocked* “Holy moly…”

Charlie - “Yeah…Ever since things between my Dad and Uncle Azarel gotten…tense. He doesn’t even trust my Dad to watch Sonya and Liz anymore by himself. They are only allowed to be watch by me and my mom. I mean they are allow to see my Dad, but only if me and my mom are there.

Sonya - “The tension between my Dad and Uncle Lucifer get worst around this time of year.”

Liz: We tried asking Dad if we could go trick or treating with Cuz and Uncle Luci this year, but…”

Sonya - “He had that glare.”

Liz - “The same glare he gave our uncle those years ago.”

Hardy - “Yeesh, talk about a grudge.”

Charlie - “Well it have been a while…Maybe they should let that go.”

Blitz - “I don’t think it’s that simple Charlie. Some can hold grudges for years.”

Charlie - “Well, I think that it's time that we get those two to make up. We just need a plan.”

Hardy - *thinks for a minute* “Hmmmm... Well, back at Mr. Chi's apartment, whenever the tenants get into an argument, he would always lock them both in a room until they make up.”

Angel - “Oh that could work *points out* If they weren't so darn powerful that they can blow the room up to kingdom come!”

Husk - “Can’t believe I’m saying this but Angel got a point. Those two motherfucker can blow up half of hell!”

Blitz - “Especially since they have Angelic powers.”

Hardy - “Well, what if we had some place that was enchanted? Some place that could dampen their powers? *lit lightbulb pops up over his head* Wait, that's it! I know just the right place!”

Charlie - “You do? Where?”

Hardy - “Not too long ago, I just got a call from a cilent about this old abandoned house that was made out of this holy wood stuff, and local legends say *playfully spooky tone* that the house is haunted by the unerased. *imatating ghost wooing*

Sophie - *trembles* “Haunted?! *flies into the back of Blitz's jacket and hides*

Angel - *raises eyebrow* “The unerased?”

Vaggie - *unamused tone* “Afterlife version of the undead.”

Angel - *sarcastically* “Rrrrrrriiiiiggghhhhttt.”

Sonya - *eyes winden* “I read that before! It can hold off any powers including ones like Uncle Lucifer’s and Dad.”

Liz - “Wait that shit is real? I just thought it was something from a made up story.”

Hardy - “And stories say that on Halloween night, the house gets filled with unerased sinners and hellborns roaming its hallways.”

Sophie - *tremble in fear* “You think they would come here?”

Blitz - *reassures* “Aw relax, sis. Everyone in Hell knows that there's no such thing as the Unerased.”

Blitz - “Beside Hardy is just joking around.”

Hardy - “Yeah, as I said, it's only local legend. However, the holy wood part is real, so we can use that to our advantage.”

Charlie - “What do you have plan?”

Hardy - “We lure Lucifer and Azrael into the house. We lock them inside. They talk over their issues. Make peace. We let them out. Then everything will be solved. Plus, as an added bonus, we can go ghost hunting for some fun. What do you guys think?”

Husk - “It’s a stupid idea. Then again, who the fuck listens to me?”

Hardy - *deadpan* “Okay that’s one. Who else?”

Niffty - *excited* “It would be fun to see two bad boys lock together!”

Vaggie - “Maybe it can work but it sound risky.”

Hardy - “Okay that’s also kind of another one. *to Charlie* “What do you think, Charlie?”

Charlie - *confident* “It could work! And their powers won’t cause them to do any damage to themselves. Plus, I'm actually curious about seeing that house myself. So it might actually make a good early Halloween adventure.”

Liz - *interested* “Ooh it actually does! Maybe we can even scare people.”

Sonya - “Yeah, and set up scary booby traps!”

Sophie - “And maybe some pictures too? But not too scary ones.”

Vaggie - “I don't see why not.”

Angel - “Sounds like fun, I could go for some good ol' Halloween scare pranks.”

Charlie - “Then it's settled, we're going to the haunted house!”

Sophie - “But make sure it’s not too scary!”

Hardy - *assuring* “Don’t worry Sophie. We promise it won’t be scary.”

Hardy - “Now, all we need is something to lure Lucifer and Azrael to the house, like... *turns to Charlie, Sonya, and Liz* Live bait.”

Everyone else turns their heads toward Charlie, Sonya, and Liz.

Sonya - *confused* “Uhh why look at us?”

Charlie - *realizes* “Oh, you want us to lure our dads to the house, am I right?”

Hardy - *nods* “Yep. It’s the only way.”

Charlie - “Okay, what do you need us to do?”

Hardy - “Here's the plan, gather around everyone.”

Everyone gathers in a football huddle as Hardy explains his plan.

()()()()()()()()

Later at night, the scene changes to the old haunted house that Hardy mentioned. The house was grey-colored and have creepy Heaven-based decor, like exorcist statues for gargoyles and a graveyard.

Husk - *impressed* “Have to admit: it doesn't look like trash.”

Hardy - “Okay guys, let's get this place set up with traps and scary stuff before Lucifer and Azrael come.”

All - “Right!”

Everyone picks up their things and start setting up the traps in the house. In a montage, everyone was busy at work in setting up the traps and the scares around the house before Lucifer and Azrael get here.

Within two hours, everything was set up and everyone was in their positions. Now they just need to wait.

Vaggie - *doubtful* “Are you sure this is gonna work? I mean not all brothers have a strong bond, you know?”

Hardy - “It has too. Brothers should be there for each other. Not hate each other and base what Charlie told me, Azarel is one of the few that Lucifer has left.”

Angel - *peeking through the window* “Here they come.”

Charlie and Lucifer were outside about to enter the house.

Charlie - “So Dad thanks for coming here.”

Lucifer - “Sure thing dear. *looks at the house* So this is the house that you were talking about?”

Charlie - “Yep! It’s so cool I wanted you to see it.”

Lucifer - “Uh-huh, and you're saying that it's "haunted"?”

Charlie - “Yeah! It is haunted with ghosts and stuff.”

Lucifer - *confused* “And you brought me here because...?”

Charlie - “I want to see it inside with you, so I don't get scared if there are ghosts in there.”

Lucifer - *shrugs* “Well I am the scariest thing alive so why not.”

Charlie - “Oh, and my cousins will be coming with us, and they will bring someone with us.”

Lucifer - “Oh? Um....*worriedly* who?”

Charlie - *assuring* “Don’t worry it’s somebody who’s harmless. *points her finger* Here they come now!”

Lucifer turns his head to where Charlie is pointing and he is not happy with who he sees with Sonya and Liz.

Lucifer - *annoyed* “Oh hello Azarel.”

Azrael - *deadpanned* “Lucifer…”

Sonya - *nervous* “Excited to be here?”

Azrael - *deadpanned* “Not really. I only came here because of my daughters.”

Charlie - “Don’t worry Uncle Azarel, it's gonna be fun!”

Azrael hummed in doubt. While Lucifer rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Sonya - “Come on, let's go and see what's inside.”

Liz - “Yeah! It will be something so cool.”

Sonya and Liz pulled their dad to the front door as Charlie and Lucifer followed them. Once they were at the door, it creepily creaked open. Lucifer and Azrael are the first to go in. But once they were inside, Charlie, Sonya, and Liz slammed the door behind them and locked them inside.

Lucifer - *shocked and confused* “Hey what the heck?!”

Azarel - “Let me out!!”

Lucifer tried to rip the door open, but it wouldn't budge. Then he tries to burn the door open with his fire powers, but he couldn't even light a tiny flare.

Lucifer - “What the hell is going on?! Is this a joke?”

Azrael - *studies the wood* “It's this house! It's made of holy wood.”

Lucifer - “What?! We need to get out of here!”

Azrael - “Well, we can't get out the way we came, so we'll need to find another way out. *annoyingly groans*”

Lucifer - *annoyed* “Oh this is just great!”

Azrael: - “Hey, I don't like it as much as you do.”

Just then, they hear something. Something ominous.

Azrael - “What was that?”

Lucifer - *nervously* “I have no idea.”

Just then something comes falling down the stairs... It was a skull. The Morningstar brothers look bored and uninterested.

Azarel - *unscared* “Eh. I seen skulls before.”

Lucifer - “I even have collections of these.”

But at the moment it landed on the ground, it instantly pops in front of their faces and made a horrible scream with bulging eyes. This definitely causes Lucifer and Azrael to be jumped. It even scared Lucifer to the point he jumped into Azarel’s arms.

Lucifer - *freaking out* “Okay this is freaking me out!”

Azrael - *struggling* “L-Luci, Will you g-get off of me?! You're heavy!”

Azrael drops Lucifer on the floor. Azarel wipes his hand as Lucifer groans and gets up.

Lucifer - “Come on we need to leave!”

Azrael: Yeah, no kidding!

()()()()()()()()

The two walked down the hall, trying to find another way out of the house. They walk through an eerily dim hallway.

Azarel - “What the hell is that?”

Lucifer - *nervous* “I don't know, but I ain't sticking around to find out.”

Suddenly, they started to hear creepy organ music. This causes Lucifer and Azrael to tremble.

Lucifer - “This isn’t even good music!”

Azrael - “Where is it even coming from?!”

Lucifer - “I don’t know but we seriously need to leave!”

Azrael - “Let's try the backdoor!”

Lucifer - “Alright!”

Azrael and Lucifer kept moving down the halls until they spotted something up ahead, or rather... someone. A shadowed figure was slowly approaching them.

Lucifer - “Who the fuck are you?!”

The shadowed figure didn't respond as it kept coming closer and closer until light shined to reveal itself. It was a walking corpse of a deceased imp!

Lucifer and Azrael - *simultaneously scream* AN UNERASED!!!

Lucifer and Azrael ran away in a comedic panic.

Azarel - *freaking out* “What kind of house is this?!

Lucifer - “Who cares?! Let's just the fuck outta here!”

Lucifer and Azrael see a window and thought about jumping through it. However, upon impact, they find the windows made of rubber as it bounces them back inside.

Lucifer - *panicking* “Oh why did we agree to come here?! We're trapped! Trapped like rats! *shouts in panic* WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!”

Azrael - *grabs Lucifer and shakes him like a ragdoll* Lucifer! Get a hold of yourself man! *slaps Lucifer silly to make him snap back to his senses*

Lucifer - *calming down* “Okay! Okay! I’m calm!”

Azarel slaps him again.

Lucifer - *annoyed* “I said I was calm!!”

Azarel - “Had to make sure. Now, if we're going to get out of this, we're going have to work together. So let's find something to defend ourselves with.”

Lucifer - *looks around* “Well maybe there are some old weapons in here.”

Azrael - “We'll need to improvise.”

Azrael looks around and finds a chair, so he takes it as a weapon.

Lucifer - *deadpanned* “Really? A chair?”

Azarel - “You got a better idea?”

Lucifer looks around and finds a fireplace poker.

Lucifer - *smug* “This those!”

Azarel rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Azarel - “That’s right: Lucifer Morningstar the Idea Guy! Too bad he doesn’t think about how his ideas affect people.”

Lucifer - *points the poker at Azrael's face* “Was that an insult?!”

Azrael - *pushes the poker* “Just watch my back while I watch yours.”

Azrael and Lucifer stand back to back. Making sure to face any monster that comes in their way.

Lucifer - “Okay so if we're gonna get out of here alive, we gotta make sure to fight back whatever is in here.”

Azarel - “For once your idea sounds logical and makes sense.”

Lucifer - *annoyed tone* “Ignoring that. *normal tone* Any ideas on which way we should go next?”

Azrael - “Let's try upstairs.”

Lucifer - “Alright upstairs it is.”

While standing back to back, Lucifer and Azrael go upstairs to see if they can find another way out of the house. So far, they haven’t found any luck yet.

Azarel - *grumpy* “I can’t believe out of all week it's gotta happen on this stupid Halloween week.”

Lucifer - *offended* “Hey there’s nothing stupid about this holiday!”

Azarel - *scoff* “You really forgot about what happened, did you?”

Lucifer - *upset* You're still hung up about that?! I said that I was sorry! I didn’t know Sonya was allergic to peanuts!”

Azrael - “Well, you should have! It was written on that paper of rules that I gave you! And don't give me that "rules are meant to be broken" crap!”

Lucifer - “Well some rules are! They are stupid and unfair.”

Azarel - “And it’s just that. You truly forgot, haven't you? The day you were forced to leave heaven? With Lilith?”

Lucifer - *angry* “Don't you DARE bring that up!”

Azarel - *mad*! “Well I am! You seem to have forgotten who it affects!”

Lucifer - “Well duh! Lilith and I got kicked out!”

Azarel - “Along with other people! Have you forgotten how it affected me?!”

Lucifer - “Hey, I gave you a chance to walk away, but you stuck by me in the end! That's on you, not me!”

Azarel - “But the problem with you is that you don’t care nor think how your actions affect other people! You believe you can do whatever you want and not care!”

Lucifer - “Well why did you get stuck by me then?!”

Azarel - “Cause you’re my little brother you idiot! I couldn’t stand by and abandon you or ignore you like the elders did.”

Lucifer paused from that comment. He never realized how much Azarel cared about him. Azarel took a deep breath and said:

Azarel - “You may be an annoying pain in the ass, but you’re still my brother. I can’t abandon you like that. You know how it badly hurt me that the other angels would talk shit about you with Lilith or act like you don’t exist?”

Lucifer - *pauses* “I...I had no idea.”

Azarel - *feeling down* “Well…Sometimes it not easy to talk about.”

Lucifer - *sighs* “I'm sorry, bro. It's just that... I thought that giving humanity freewill would be a good thing and that the elders would start listening to my ideas and take me seriously, instead of just seeing me as some troublemaker.”

Azrael - “I listen to you, Lucifer. Sometimes you make good ideas, and sometimes they're too dangerous. I personally think that it's a good idea to give humanity free will, but they weren't ready yet for such a thing. They needed time before having such a thing. We may have created Adam and Lillith as adults in the beginning, but they are still technically young. They were still learning things.”

Lucifer - “That’s true…I just feel like they needed free will because having too many rules isn’t much freedom. Plus you would get bored if you have to follow rules by rules. It would be like losing who you truly are.”

Azrael - “That maybe so, but they were important for many things such as their safety, their growth, and so on. Plus, many of them were just temporary. It's not like we were going to keep those so many rules up forever.”

Lucifer - “But heaven was so strict and never listens! They even rejected my daughter's ideas on the hotel!”

Azrael - “I admit, they are stubborn and tend to take things too seriously. But that doesn't mean that they don't care. I mean, they have so much responsibility and duties that they need to uphold. They're not as carefree or free-spirited as you are, Lucifer. I get that strict-like ways can be overbearing, but in their defense, they need to be for our father. Our father gave the elders this responsibility as he far too busy with his far more important duties, such as creating new life and upholding the rights of existence. Without him, everything would eventually crumble to nothingness. That includes us and our families. *sighs* Plus, if it's any consolation, I can actually relate to you, Luci. The elders don't listen to me at times either.”

Lucifer - *surprised* “They didn’t listen to you either? But you’re one of the golden child! They like you better than me. Then again they liked everybody else better than me.”

Azarel - “Well I do agree the rules are needed, some of them did seem unfair. There were even times that I wished to give mortals another chance at their lives. That I wanted to let them live longer and cherish it. But it was against my position to do such a thing. Doing something like that would have put me and my family in an even worse position than I am currently in as a semi-fallen angel. The elders would have picked someone irresponsible and heartless like Adam. Such a thing would have made things worse for your kingdom. I couldn't risk it. Not to my family.”

Lucifer - *sighs* “I know. I tried so hard to see the good in my people like Charlie does. I don’t know how she does it but heaven didn’t listen to me about reforming some sinners cause how the rule of earth changed overtime. I didn’t want my family to get hurt.”

Azrael - “Neither did I, brother. Our generation was garbage, that we both can agree. But we should have faith that our children will make a difference. The future rests on their hands and we need to support their choices, both for their happiness and for everyone.”

Lucifer - *smiles* “We can do it together…Brother.”

They both hugged each other but then they heard clapping. Lucifer and Azrael turned around to see Hardy come out of the shadows, clapping at them. Then, everyone starts coming out of their hiding spots and clapping at them, including Charlie, Sonya, and Liz, who managed to get into the house without Lucifer and Azrael's knowledge.

Lucifer - *confused* “What? What the hell is going on?”

Hardy - “It's about time you two made up. I was starting to think that we needed to bring out the big guns.”

Azrael - “Big guns? What are you talking about? Can someone please explain to us what is going on here?”

Charlie - *smile and nods* “Glady. I told Hardy about how you and Dad are always tense. Especially during this time of year.``

Hardy - “And I figured you need something to make you guys talk and make with each other.”

Sonya - “So we set up this whole haunted house to have you two make up. And hoping it can change your mind on letting me and Liz go trick or treating with uncle Lucifer and cousin Charlie.”

Lucifer - “You mean this whole thing was a prank to get us to reconcile?”

Liz - “If you wanna put it like that yeah.”

Lucifer and Azrael made unamused expressions for a moment, but then they both started to laugh together.

Lucifer - *laughing* “I’ll admit that was a good prank!”

Liz - “So, no hard feelings, dad?”

Azarel - *shakes his head* “Nah sweetie. If anything it helps me recoil to Lucifer.”

Sonya - “So... Does that mean we can go trick or treating?”

Azrael - *thinks* “Hmmmm...... Okay, I don't see why not.”

Sonya and Liz - *simultaneously pump their fists* “Yes! We better get our costume and-“

Azrael - “But on one condition from you two. *smiles* I get to decide what costumes you two are wearing.”

Sonya - “Really? What kind of costume?”

Azrael smiles mischievously.

()()()()()()()()()

It shows Sonya and Liz wearing pink fluffy bunny costumes with grumpy looks on their faces. Angel couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Liz - *grumbles to Angel* “Shut it.”

Charlie - *cooing* “Aw you guys look adorable!!”

Sonya - *grumbles* “I'm starting to think that I don't want to go trick or treating this year.”

Azrael - *smiles* “Too late girls, a deal is a deal!” *snickers*

Angel was snapping pictures of Sonya and Liz in their Halloween costumes. He was laughing as he was doing it.

Angel - *chuckles* “Wait until Cherri sees this!!”

Liz - *angrily* “Angel, you better not send those!”

Angel - *playfully* “Alright you wasically wabbits”

Liz growls as her face turned red from both anger and humiliation. Charlie couldn’t help but giggle.

Lucifer - *slyly smiles at Charlie* “You know, Charlie? I was thinking that I should pick your costume for Halloween too.”

Charlie - *pleads* Please not the rubber duck mascot costume! The thing always gets me stuck between the doors!”

Lucifer - “But you look so adorable!”

Charlie - “Uhh can I choose something else?”

Lucifer - “Well, there's always…”

Lucifer leans to Charlie's ear and whispers. What he says caused Charlie's face to turn red as she freaked out.

Charlie - *freaks out* “No! No! Not that! Anything but that! I'll do the duck costume! Just anything but that one!”

Hardy - *curious* “What’s the other one?”

Lucifer - “It's quite the outfit, you see--“

Charlie frantically covers her father's mouth in embarrassment.

Charlie - *begging* “Don't tell them, dad! Pleeeeaasseee! I’ll do anything! I’ll even clean your room and you hate doing that.”

Lucifer - *smiles* “Really? Even organize my rubber duck collection?”

Charlie - *frantic* “Yes! I’ll do that for you for a month if you don’t tell.”

Lucifer - “Okay. *makes a zip lip expression*

Charlie - *sighs in relief* “Thank you…*joy* Now let's enjoy some Halloween!”

Everyone gets ready for Halloween, especially Sonya and Liz, despite having to wear such embarassing costumes. All in all, they're just glad that their dad and uncle finally made up after so long.

The End.

[urlocalnonbinarybastardwrites]

Helloo <3 I’d like to make a fandom ship request! Heathers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and/or the DC universe would be wonderful :D

My name is Jupiter, my pronouns are they/she, and I’m a heavily female-presenting nonbinary sapphic! I’m 5 feet and 8 inches tall, but I usually wear heels and platforms that make me a lot taller. I’m of mixed descent (African-Japanese) and brown-skinned with lots of freckles and moles. My hair is 4C, and I always style my Afro to have bear ears!! I think it’s really cute to do, so my head always has two little puffs at the top. My style is mostly coquette since I’m a coquette girly, but I’m also open to pastel goth, Yume Kawaii, and Decora Kei 💖💖

Personality wise, my friends say I’m pretty much the mom of the group lol. I like checking in on my friends whenever I can, and I always make sure to bring around snacks with me in case someone (including myself) gets hungry. I like to think I’m great with kids, and I’ve actually babysitter a couple who have called me Mama! Almost collapsed to the floor in cuteness-aggression fueled tears, but I think that’s a pretty normal reaction :}} Besides all of that, I’m generally a bubbly person and I don’t care about social norms all that much. Maybe it’s cuz I’m autistic, but I don’t care if people think it’s strictly romantic to kiss someone - I kiss my friends all the time and I love showing them affection, especially since some of them really need it

As for my hobbies, I love love LOVE crocheting! My mom actually taught me how to make my own bags and purses, and I’ve sold a few when I was younger. Arts and crafts is a huge passion for me - whether it’s painting, sketching, digital drawing, whatever!! I enjoy it all, and I make free commissions for my friends too. I also like to cook and bake, which are two skills I’ve been learning since I was 11. And when I’m not making art or cooking, I also love a good ol’ self care routine! Face masks, bubble baths, pedicures, the whole shebang. I’ve struggled with my mental health a lot over the years, so spoiling myself is something I’m trying to do a lot more now that school is almost over

Fun fact about me; I’m not southern, but my family always says I act like it. I say “y’all” constantly and I tend to call people things like sugar, sweetheart, baby, honey, etc.

Aaaand that’s it! Would love to see who you pick for me. Have the most wonderful day, sweets<3

Your Fandom Ships: Sissy Slaughter (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Selina Kyle (Aka Catwoman, DCU)

Explanation: first things first I think that she thinks you’re insanely hot like she doesn’t see anyone anyone like you around I mean from your height which you’re already tall but when you wear those heels whoa what makes her jelly… I mean usually her brother gets all the pretty victims, but she definitely thinks that she’s going to keep you for herself. she thinks you’re adorable and she loves your hyper femininity. She is obsessed with you (literally)… and your style. It almost makes you seem more innocent and cute and she absolutely has a corruption kink.  she thinks that it’s adorable that you’re the mom of the friend group and absolutely supports it because she’s often the one that has to take care of her family so she absolutely forgets it because she’s the only one who knows how to do things like sewing around her family, and, she thinks that your attractive whenever you take up the leading role in your friend group. She also doesn’t really take notice to a lot of social norms because she’s been in and out of a lot of cults in her life and things like that and also you know she’s a serial killer but she’s just kind of loopy and I don’t feel like she pays much attention to what other people think so she gets that and I think that she’s also very good with your autism like she would absolutely understand if you ever got overstimulated or if he didn’t like certain textures or anything like that she would be on it and she would be the most caring out of the family about things like that. But I don’t think she cares about and she was definitely in a lot of cults where it was very casual to be sexual and things like that so I don’t feel like she sees kissing as an entirely sexual thing either she sees it is more of a friendly thing too. She loves that you can crochet and I feel like if you ever made her a purse or a bag or anything like that she would wear it in such pride and she would never take it off and if anyone made fun of it, they would for sure get their throat slip, but she just loves everything you make and thinks that it’s really adorable. She also is a pretty good artist I feel like and she would draw with you and draw around the house because she lives out in the country where there’s very very pretty views so I feel like she would help you draw those and draw some on her own and paint and things like that and ask for your love of skin care I feel like she would totally have a girls night with you or you guys both just do your skin care. Do it up do the whole thing and do your entire routine and I feel like she would just love that and how makes her feel and she feels like a pretty little princess, and she rarely gets pampered, she’s used to that farm girl lifestyle. Also, I can see this being really cute for you. You say that you’re not southern but act like it but sissy is legitimately southern and I think you guys calling each other sugar honey Sweetheart things like that would be absolutely adorable and I shifted this so bad because honestly, I could make like a little comic about it or something because of how much I shipped this I just like you calling each other sugar, honey, and she would definitely be obsessed and possessive of you and I don’t know just like I don’t know I ship your relationship a lot. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Explanation: physical appearance I think that she would be absolutely in love with you. She just loves you guys have the opposite kinds of femininity like you guys are both very feminine, but in very different senses she’s more of a dark feminine and you’re more of a cute light feminine and I just think that you guys contrast so well with her kind of dark feline energy and you’re kind of more like innocent coquette type energy. I just love the clash there and I feel like she would absolutely be attracted to you and how tall you are I just like you guys both are so similar but so different and I just love that like, oh my gosh I can’t even tell you how much I love you guys and you’re aesthetics clashing together but then also looking so pleasing you guys just are so cute. She loves the way that you wear your Afro and I feel like she just finds you absolutely adorable and just loves the way that you look in general because it’s again such a contrast from her because you guys are both very feminine, but she’s more dark seductive type you know siren and you’re definitely a doe like she’s definitely a siren you’re a doe that’s a really good way to put it. She definitely needs to be checked in with because she’s the chaotic friend and her group so I feel like you guys would have the greatest dynamic ever of you like checking in with her making sure that he said she’s OK and constantly pulling her out of danger because she gets herself in a lot of situations. I just feel like you would be the one reigning her chaos back. She thinks it’s adorable that your so good with kids and it definitely got her thinking about maybe adopting a kid with you because she just loves you so much and thinks that you would be a great mom. You also treat her a lot better than the past guy she’s dated which I feel like she would really appreciate because of the way that she dresses an act she’s super used to be used as a sex toy and nothing really more so whenever you come into her life and treat her like she matters more than just for her body and you see her as a person. I just feel like it means the world to her and she finds you so precious and out of all the things that she stolen in her entire career of thievery I feel like your heart is the most valuable thing she laid her hands on. She doesn’t care that much about social norms either and I feel like she’s also definitely platonic kisser even before you guys started dating she was kissing you casually on the lips cheeks, etc. just because you know she could and she found it kind of a friendly way to do. But they got a lot more intimate as you started dating I don’t know, but I feel like she agrees with you on that. She thinks the fact that you crochet is actually adorable and even though it’s not really as much of her style as a hobby, she finds it super fascinating and is always watching you and your hands and she just thinks it’s so cool that you can do such complicated maneuvers with the string and things like that. she’s not as much of an artist herself, but she would totally support you, but I actually do think that she’s pretty good in the kitchen so I feel like you guys would have a lot fun baking together and cooking together and I feel like if you guys ever made like dinner and stuff it would actually be really good and you guys would just feast like the queen you are for the night and I feel like a really good day for you guys would be a stay at home day where you guys both just cook for each other and then afterwards and with movie and the full skin care routine because she absolutely loves skin care I mean, I cannot, say this enough, but I feel like she would also be a skincare queen and you two would have the Korean glass skin and just be such a good couple. Anyway, if it isn’t obvious enough, I totally ship you too, and I think this is maybe one of my favorite out of all these you know fandom ships I’ve done, I think this is the one that I’ve genuinely shipped or at least top 10 because this is like you guys would be so perfect together.

I mean you’re both feminine but opposite ways and I just love this. 💙💙💙

///////////////////////

Sea is a colony assumed lost somewhat over a thousand years before this tale opens.  They were sent on a one way trip, not knowing that there was no land at all on the whole world of Sea.  Thus, aside from humans, NO CREATURE OF SEA IS IN ANY WAY ITS NAMESAKE.  They were simply named for a superficial resemblance to some Earthly creature by the early colonists.

///////////////////////

Cat ran lightly forward, down the deck toward the bow, her long, sea-foam colored hair streaming out ahead of her in the brisk breeze.  The tocsin drum’s staccato beat had called ‘course change’ and she was the first of the Longin’s crew to reach the lines needed to set the big lateen foresail for the next tack.  By the time that the others got there, the lines were free of the marlin spikes, and the sail was beginning to swing, according to orders, stayed only by her neatly coiled line paying out around a spike for leverage.  The others took up their lines, and added their strength to Cat’s. When she snubbed hers, they followed suit, done a fraction of a second before the Captain called, “Enough!  Belay lines!”  Other Crew-folk had attended to the mainsail and mizzen.  The Longin came about, and settled into her new course.

/////////////////////////////

Far to the south, far enough that only a bare topmast would be visible from the Longin, and that only if it were searched for, the Grandalor’s lookouts reported the change.  Captain Barad ordered his crew to action, and changed course to match.  He was careful to stay as nearly invisible to the Longin as possible.

////////////////////////////

Without being told, Cat was neatly coiling the lines and securing them.  She did not need to look at what she was doing.  She worked by touch alone.  Her face was toward the Sea.  Had she been looking at it, she would have been looking at a place about half way to the horizon. Nobody upbraided her for redoing their lines.  Her coils always shook out perfectly.  That she left three of the lines alone, was a high praise to the crew.

Tousle headed children of the crew stormed about her.  “Tell us a story Cat!  Tell us about Sea Dragons!  Please!”

“I was waiting for that last word,” the young woman grinned, sitting on a hatch cover.  “Just to be sure that you know it, what was the word again?”

“Please,” they chorused raggedly.

In a voice like the sound of sea waves breaking in a wind, she began, “There are many Sea Dragons, as you surely know, but five of them are the Great Dragons.  Some say that they made the World of Sea.  Others say, and no person of sense disagrees, that they rule the Word of Sea.  There is Blind Mecat, who sees nothing and knows all things; Dark Iren, who is black and hunts with Orca whales; Horen, who, from his deep home, rules the fish in their migrations; Frath, the Lord of Storm, and Dari, who guides the birds and the winds that bear them.

“Now, I will tell you a story of a time long ago, when the Great Sea Dragons ruled openly and the ships were new.  In those days, nobody knew how to make ships on the ocean and the First Ships were getting old.  The knowledge of making ships had been left on Dry Land.”

“What’s Dry Land?” asked sad, dark-haired Kurin, one of the smallest of the children.

Scornfully, one of the other children said, “It’s a place where the sea bottom comes up right out of the water, so the sun dries it out and you can walk without getting wet.  There is no such place, really, so it means they forgot.”

Cat gathered the crestfallen little tyke into her lap, and said, “Silor is right, you know. When something is left on Dry Land, it means that it is forgotten. But the Sea People still needed to know how to make new ships.  First they went to the Dragon Frath but he did not know how to build a ship.  ‘I live under the Sea.  I do not know how to make something float.  If you should find out how to do it, I will help, if I am able.’  The Sea people thanked Frath for his time and went on with their search.  Dark Iren said that he would be happy to help, if only he knew what to do.  Horen said that he could help them, if they needed fish, but he knew nothing of boats.  Even Dari was willing to help, but  … ”

“She didn’t know what to do!” chorused the children.

“Now there was only Blind Mecat.  When the People of the Sea came to her, she said I have been waiting for you.  What took you so long?  You need to make more ships.  You will need more Glue-fish than ever you have seen before.  Horen can give you those.  You will need so many Strong Skin fish that you cannot catch them all yourself.  The bigger they are, the better it will be for the work.  Dark Iren’s Orca whales can herd them to you.  Frath only needs to keep the Sea calm while you work, and Dari needs to keep the skies clear so that the glue can set.

“Mecat helped the people to make a raft of floats to build upon, and showed them how to laminate the Strong Skins with Gluefish glue, to make a solid hull, just as we still do today.  Soon the first hull of a ship built at sea, of only Sea things, took shape.  Once it was done, they still had to rig the ship and make its sails.

“When the People of the Sea asked Blind Mecat, who knew all things, where to get the rope and cloth, she smiled and held out a lowly mussel, plucked from the bottom of a ship.  After the People came back from the places that they had run to … ”

“Why’d they run?” demanded Silor.

“Have you ever seen a Dragon smile?  Imagine a mouth, eight feet long, full of sharp teeth as much as two feet long bared at you.  If you had sense, you’d run, too.

“‘You already know how to make rope and weave cloth,’ she told them.  ‘This is your new thread.  Let the mussel just plant its first strand to a stick of dried sea weed and then pull it slowly and gently away.’  As long as it was lightly pulled, the mussel kept making the filament longer and longer.  The People took the mussel’s thread and made their strong rope and sail fabric.

“Thus was made the first of the True Ships, the Dragon’s Friend.

“Now, you scamps get to your chores, or I will find work for you!”  The children scattered to the winds, having had that experience before.  Cat set challenging chores. Only small Kurin remained, still cuddled into her lap.  Kurin gathered Cat’s long, wind-blown hair together, stroking it.

“I wish that I had hair like yours, Cat.  Nobody else on the Longin has hair the color of new sea foam.  Your hair is as beautiful as you are.”

“Thank you, little Kurin Behar. Someday, you will be beautiful in your own right.”

Kurin turned about on Cat’s lap.  “I have been wondering about something, Cat.”

“Curiosity is good.  What do you wonder about?”

Me and Clay have something in common, we sure love Hydron's child-bearing hips 🥵 I like the idea of Hydron being a femboy (and, of course, Clay gets off with that), I really think he looks his prettiest when he's wearing dresses and skirts. This commission I requested @/shio_sunshine isn't related to any LabCrown fic I have (but I sure sometimes use it on my Spanish memes). I just saw that dress on a Shein ad and thought "Whoa, Hydron would look cute in that 😊" I like to take Hydron as some kind of pin-up girl. I'm no drawing artist but I for sure love spending money on commissions hahahaha

Esp

Si hay algo que Clay y yo tenemos en común es que adoramos esas caderas fértiles que se carga Hydron 🥵 Me gusta la idea de que Hydron sea femboy (y que por eso Clay le dedica tantas pajas), realmente pienso que se deslumbra su belleza con vestidos y faldas y esa clase de vestimenta. Esta comisión que le pedí a @/shio_sunshine no está relacionada a ningún fic o AU LabCrown (pero a veces me mama usarlo en memes), solamente vi este vestido en un anuncio de Shein y dije "Hydron se vería muy lindo con eso 😊" Me gusta agarrar a Hydron como una especie de pin-up girl aunque no sea dibujante, pero bien que gasto en comisiones jajaja

Fanart:

Meme 1 (ESP):

Hydron en su mente de: "Ayúdame Dios."

Eng Translation:

Clay: You have the most fertile hips I've seen in centuries.

Meanwhile, Hydron in his head: "Well shit."

Meme 2 (ESP):

Apenas puede con uno, dice.

Lo siento Hydron, eres demasiado fértil y manipulable para tu propio bien 😘

ENG Translation:

Hydron: Fucking hell, what do you mean 3 more are on their way?! 😭😭😭

He can barely take care of 1 decently.

I'm sorry Hydron, you're just too fertile and too easy to manipulate for your own good 😘

Today is Olivia Colman, AKA the voice of Mama Bear’s birthday!

Papa Bear: Happy birthday, my love! -kisses her-

Mama: Thank you!

Baby: Happy birthday! Here’s to many years more of us being a crime family!

Mama: Thanks, but I feel like there’s something missing….

Mama: Goldi, where are you?

(I can help answer that question for Mama: that Goldi plush I commissioned from Ukraine should be coming pretty soon, as she’s currently in my state now!)

Cosette's struggle with Purity

Cosette, whose life was saved by Valjean from dying of starvation and the cold that fateful day, was then treated like a fragile being by Valjean and those nuns and gardeners

Cosette, who voraciously seeks solace in religion and becomes a devout Catholic

Cosette, who surrounds herself with neat places due to the traumas of having to live at the messy attic of the Thenardiers for years before Valjean saved her life

Cosette, who was aggressively pacifist, stays aways from violence and aggression whenever possible, and hardly ever raises her voice unless she is really, really angry

Cosette, who sometimes keeps her mouth shut for the sake of ' making peace ' ( another trauma response ) and it sometimes blubbers up until she finally confesses what she is feeling all along, and suddenly in tears

Cosette, who actually has a sensitive heart underneath her calm and composure

Cosette, who shuts down and walks away at the first sign of aggression or violence against her. She will not tolerate anyone yelling at once

Cosette, who, despite being gentle and loving, is also sometimes skittish, and she will not have anyone who are gentle being viewed as ' weak

Cosette, who, although appreciates that Valjean and Marius want the best for her, reminds them that she can think of her own as well

Cosette who often relies on her Adopted father and later on Marius as a form of security and protection

Cosette, who eventually managed to shake away the label of her being a ' pure angel ' by several others when she was younger and matured into a loving mother of her children

Cosette, who uses visual arts as a form of solace. She eventually began selling her artwork and wrote several art related books, one of them being about the History of French art at those points

Cosette, who weeps at the stories of innocent girls who are being severely wronged ( like Juliet and Ophelia, for starters )

Cosette, who prefers to see birds out in the open rather than in cages. It reminded her of her enslaved years when she was a little girl

Cosette, who was an associate of the Les ABCs,yet was never at the frontlines herself. She helps spread awareness by commissioning to several Les ABCs art, and when Marius was heard to be in hospital, she braved herself to visit him...and broke down in tears seeing his bandaged and broken form, while kissing all over his face, as they cry together

Cosette, who spent tireless 8 months help nursing Marius back to health, all the while honing her nursing skills which she learned at convent school

Cosette, who aggressively embraces the ' virtues or being a lady ' she was taught at convent school, out of sheer trauma and vehemence that she will never become anything like Madame Thenardier ( upon her lifelong promise )

Cosette, who consciously chose gentleness as a trauma response to the horrors she's been through

Cosette, who becomes a fierce mama bear to her children. She is gentle with her children, yet firm when necessary.

Cosette, who sometimes feels stuck between the abyss of girlhood and womanhood at 16, found herself having to run the Rue Plumet household like a tight ship, encounter her first love ( who turned out to be her soulmate ), and take care or her sickly adopted dad at 16. And all that while facing the dangers of the June Rebellion. She worked hard to ground herself with tea and prayers, and she was able to cross the abyss to womanhood gracefully

Cosette, who seem to feel astral connection to her loved ones who died before her, and prayed for their peace every night before she goes to bed

Cosette, who basically is an often easily stimulated, sensitive and skittish person underneath her gentleness and calmness. There is a foundation of wildness and bravery in her.

let’s talk about cosettes struggle with “purity”

[elisaphoenix13]

Debut And (Minor) Fall

Commission for @wombatking! I'm amazed at myself for getting this out so fast! I hope it's to your liking!

"Nonono! Don't hork it down you animal!" Cassie laughs and takes a bite of her own cinnamon-sugar pretzel.

"What? I'm hungry!" Peter says with his mouth full.

"You're always hungry." Cassie shakes her head and tears off another piece of her pretzel as Peter fumbles for his phone when it pings.

He taps away at it after unlocking it to read the message, and then he points it away before directing Cassie a different direction.

"Mom asked us to pick up some things for Lucy." Peter explains and Cassie nods.

"Diapers and formula?" She guesses.

"Yup."

"Do you even know what to get?"

"Nope. He said you would know."

Cassie shakes her head in exasperation. Of course she knew what exactly Stephen got for Lucy because more often than not, she was with him whenever he picked up the baby supplies. She didn't mind though. It gave her a little more alone time with Peter before they were both pulled back into the chaos of the tower. Something she always missed because she learned during those five quiet years that she shouldn't take it for granted. There was a lot she didn't take for granted anymore.

When she sees Peter eyeing her pretzel she holds it away. "You had yours! Three in fact! Let me have my one!"

"Aww come on babe! They're so good!" Peter practically begs.

"No!"

Peter grins and reaches for the last bit of pretzel. "Come on it's just a--"

He suddenly freezes and Cassie yelps in surprise when Peter pushes her away and then her eyes widen when something blasts into sidewalk where she had been standing just moments ago. As the sidewalk smolders, she and Peter look into the direction the fireball came from and find what looked to be another psychotic villain with a grudge.

Fucking fantastic.

"Not cool." Peter says before tapping his nanotech bracelet to suit up and webs toward the villain after telling Cassie to find somewhere safe to hide.

For a moment she considered it, but when Peter was almost immediately blasted away when he got close enough to the attacker, she decided that it was probably time to reveal her powers. Tony had made her her own suit just in case, and Cassie hadn't even asked for one but she was glad for it. It was more subtle than the bracelets that Stephen and the boys had for their suits, and it still amazed her how Tony managed to fit a whole suit in a ring. It was like the others though and all it needed was a tap before nanites covered her body and formed a suit similar to her father's.

The moment she was completely covered, she grew to a large size and stopped Peter from hitting asphalt by catching him with one of her hands. Cassie hears him mumble to himself in confusion and then he looks up and the eyes of his suit widen.

"Holy shit!" Peter shouts.

He clearly had a default reaction to seeing people grow for the first time.

"You okay?" She asks.

"I...I will be when I have time to process...this," Peter motions to her. "That will have to wait. Do you mind?"

Peter points back toward the approaching villain and Cassie nods before tossing her boyfriend back towards him. As Peter webs what looks like a custom flamethrower away from the villain, Cassie shrinks back down and runs up to assist. Having his weapon ripped from his hands was enough of a distraction for Cassie to reach the villain and deliver a blow under his jaw, and he stumbles back in surprise.

The training Cassie went through was finally worth it as she continued to help Peter try and restrain the villain who had pulled out another weapon that was definitely alien. She wasn't even surprised to see one anymore. Like Hydra, alien weapons were always hidden in the cracks and came out at the most inopportune times and there was likely no chance of finding them all. Especially when people dismantled the power sources for use in other weapons. Peter had experience with that.

Cassie gets blasted back by the weapon and lands with a groan on the ground. This was still better than being tossed around by a celestial. While Quill never actually used his full strength while helping her train, he only pulled his punches just enough for it to hurt but not actually cause any damage to Cassie. Basically how he trained with Scott was how he trained with her. Quill pulled his punches but it still left some nasty bruises.

Cassie sits up and glares at the villain as she lifts one of her wrists. "I can do that too." She then sends a bio electric blast at him hitting both him and his weapon.

Peter webs him to the ground as he swings down to Cassie, and he helps her to her feet. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Papa has done worse if I'm gonna be honest."

"Ugh. I know what you mean. I think your dad is a masochist."

"I try not to think about it. Thanks."

The two walk over to the unconscious villain and look down at him.

"What do we do about him?" She asks.

"Ping the cops." Peter shrugs. "They'll come take care of him."

"That's it?" Cassie asks in surprise. "Seems a little…"

She trails off when she hears a soft beep over the noise around them and she looks closer at the villain. Peter looks as well and when Cassie looks at the weapon, her eyes widen when she sees a light on the weapon start to flash rapidly in tune with fast beeping.

"Run!" She yells.

But it was too late. The weapon exploded and the force of it sent both Peter and Cassie flying back in different directions. Cassie was sent into an alley and she groans when she lands into a pile of boxes and old wood, and she was pretty sure she felt something...snap? When she tosses the garbage off of her and tries to get to her feet, she cries out in pain when her ankle throbs and sends her to the ground.

"I believe you have fractured your ankle Miss. I suggest you lie still. I've already paged the doctor." Victor says and Cassie blinks in surprise.

"Victor? You're in my suit?"

"Yes. It was decided that I would help you whenever you felt the need to use your suit." The AI explains.

"Cassie!" Peter runs over just as a gateway opens and Stephen steps through.

"Victor says I broke my ankle and I'm inclined to believe him." She tells them and Peter carefully picks her up.

"Leave your suit on until we get you to medbay." Stephen says and motions for Peter to follow.

Stephen changes the destination of the gateway to the medbay and walks back through with Peter following close behind with Cassie. The sorcerer directs Peter to an empty bed and he carefully lays Cassie on it who hisses a little when her ankle is jostled. When Stephen asks her to, she retracts the suit and the nanites crawl back into their core in her ring and he carefully pushes up her pant leg to assess the damage. It was already swollen and purple and Stephen barely had to touch it for more pain to flare up.

"Ow!"

"I think Victor is right but we'll still take some x-rays." Stephen says.

While the doctor moves around getting things ready to x-ray Cassie's ankle, Bruce arrives with Scott and Quill and Cassie smiles sheepishly at her parents.

"What happened?" Scott asks as he rushes to her bedside.

"She kicked ass." Peter says. His suit had also been put away during her exam and now he was just standing by as support.

"A weapon self destructed and kind of rudely threw me into an alley." Cassie explains. "Broke my ankle."

Scott turns to Quill immediately. "Can you heal her?"

"Uhhh...I'd rather not. Bones are a little more finicky than flesh." Quill says.

"I'm okay." Cassie says as she rolls her eyes.

"Are you sure? No head injuries?" Scott asks when he returns his attention back to her.

"Tony made the suit. I'm sure I would have had a few if he didn't."

"That's not funny."

===========

Stephen's AI was right. Cassie had broken her ankle and Bruce had to put a plaster cast on her which she was required to wear for at least six weeks. He would monitor it closely during that time and much to Cassie's annoyance, Scott rarely let her move around. Which made sense, but he and Quill were disasters with housework and she was afraid to watch them attempt laundry. The few times they did it themselves, only twice it went without a hitch and the other times were too painful to recall.

"Ugh!" Cassie groans when Scott keeps her from getting up from the couch. "Are you going to help me pee?!"

Her father immediately holds his hands up. "Oh. No. That's all you peanut."

"Thank you." She sighs and gets up with her crutches and makes her way to the bathroom.

To be fair, going to the bathroom was a little bit of a struggle but at least it gave her some feeling of independence. Her dads barely let her do anything except go to the bathroom, and there was only one time she fell and needed help. She never told them that of course because she had been up with Peter and it happened to be in his bathroom. When she asked for his help, he was so calm about it and to her surprise he didn't even blush or sputter when he saw her with her pants halfway down. He just helped her up and looked away while he kept her up so she could pull them back up.

In fact, Peter had been a huge help ever since she got her cast. He got her whatever she wanted that he was capable of making (which wasn't much; he was almost as bad as Quill), he sometimes helped her change or get ready for the shower which was also something she didn't tell her dad's because they would blow a gasket, and he kept her company whenever Diana didn't. Diana was helpful too. She helped with bathroom stuff too if Cassie needed it and her parents knew about the little girl's help.

After she finishes in the bathroom and washes her hands, she opens the bathroom door and proceeds to leave, only for one of her crutches to get caught on the door jamb. She yelps and falls forward and fortunately gets caught by Quill who she had fallen against. He helps her straighten and uses a small amount of his powers to pick up the crutch she had dropped and returns it to her.

"You alright?"

"Yeah. Thanks. I'm gonna go upstairs." Cassie sighs.

"Let me help you to the elevator." Before Cassie can argue he points over in the direction of the elevator and she finds Emir sleeping near it. "He's kind of a big obstacle." Quill laughs.

"Oh, right." Cassie nods and accepts Quill's help, which consisted of him picking her up and carrying her to the elevator and he puts her back down as the doors open. "Thanks Papa."

Quill winks at her. "I'll distract your dad."

Cassie makes a face when she catches his insinuation and Quill cackles as the doors close. She was pretty sure he was taking advantage of her inability to run away by torturing her like this. She was half tempted to return the favor by insinuating that she and Peter were doing things but she was pretty sure that would backfire and her dads would try to kill Peter. She liked her boyfriend thank you very much.

When the doors opened again, she was immediately greeted by Peter who was the next to scoop her up. "Movie in bed?"

"I want to watch Moana and I want a shoulder massage. These crutches are killing me." Cassie pouts and Peter laughs as he carries her upstairs.

"Your wish is my command."

The Boy flinching so easily whenever anyone makes a sudden move. Making sure he follows orders and does his best to not upset any of his new siblings. He does something simple on day, like drop a plate and he can’t breathe. He isn’t allowed to make mistakes. His punishments in the commission were always severe for the smallest transgression. He can’t imagine that it would be any different here. Five is a little easier to be around. Not only did Boy already (Pt1)

OH Five is absolutely easy for the Boy to be around for one very simple reason: he’s a child. Or at least, in the eyes of The Boy, Five is a child. It’s not a years thing (how could it be, with the Commission being outside of time?). Honestly he might assume Vanya is also a child as well due to height/meekness (though Vanya is outgrowing that meekness now so he might just perceive her as like? a teenager? not safe but not not safe??)

so if he’s scared or worried or freaked out he probably runs straight to Five to figure out what the appropriate response is to this situation. because Five is like him, except Five knows the rules of this place better than the Boy - which makes him pretty much the only safe person to ask when he’s unsure (because the adults always hated it when the Boy asked questions and strongly discouraged it)

(and also there’s another level of for a long time assuming Five was an earlier incarnation of him - meaning he considers Five to be his big brother which part of him assumes that Five will automatically protect him if necessary. Granted, Five has encouraged this because Five is actually 100% willing to throw down for his dumb baby clone)

honestly Allison might actually freak him out the most rather than Klaus and Luther simply because the Handler was a woman? Actually scratch that Grace totally freaks him out the most at first because she looks the most similar to the Handler. 

Luther is just really big and the Boy thinks he’s kind of scary looking. Five thinks this fear is dumb because Luther is dumb and has gone out of his way to prove this to the Boy. This in general has just left Luther being super exasperated and yet unable to yell at anyone in case he scares the Boy, which is what they’re trying to avoid. If that means letting Five scale him like a monkey and poke him in the side of the head to prove to the Boy that Luther is a gentle giant then so be it

(Five absolutely abuses this newfound power to irritate Luther tbh)

Klaus is loud and touchy feely, and the Boy doesn’t like the former but usually appreciates the latter. Except for when he doesn’t. And the Boy is so reluctant to do anything wrong that he stays silent when he feels trapped and small and like his skin is too tight

(thankfully Five notices. Five has the same issues with touch. The same desperation and the same aversion rolled into one terrible package. Luther sees it sometimes, too. Five makes a point to bristle at Klaus and tell him to back off or simply sweeps the Boy away - and to his credit, Klaus never protests

in fact, the family as a whole learns to figure out when the Boy isn’t feeling up for contact, and when he’s desperate for a hug. Funnily enough, the same signs are present for Five no matter how much he might protest. It leads to two touch starved boys getting their fair share of hugs in the end)

Klaus was the very first person to tell him that he was allowed to stay, that the Boy was allowed to be family. As such, I think out of the adults Klaus is probably his favorite or at the very least the one he wants to like him the most? It probably ends up being very much like. A cat bringing its family dead mice proudly?

Like if someone was mean to Klaus on the streets and the Boy just straight up breaks the dude’s arm. Would have done worse if the family didn’t stop him.

(It’s not his fault - he was only ever really taught violence. He was always praised for violence. He was always expected to perform violence. Over and over and over again.)

So when his family tells him he’s not allowed to hurt people (unless they’re trying to hurt him of course, and the Commission) he’s really confused and lost because... that’s all he was ever good for. Hurting people.

(The Handler took special delight in sending the Boy to hunt down traitors to the Commission. He wonders now it that was all training so that he wouldn’t question it when they finally sent him after Five. He thinks either way the Handler would have leaned forward in her desk, smiled her terrible smile, and demanded every sordid detail from him. She liked the gory ones the best, clapping her hands and telling him ‘good boy’ like he was a dog.)

He doesn’t know how to be anything other than a weapon. But that’s okay!! because his family is there for him!

Five is horrified to learn that the Boy wasn’t permitted under any circumstances to write down mathematical equations. It’s because of Five’s secretiveness with his book and his defection, but the Boy was only permitted what calculations could be done in his head.

And he’s Five’s clone. He has a vortex within him. He knows math like an old friend, can compute numbers with the best of them, but he’s only human. He can do the spot calculations for jumps - that’s not the issue. But he could never learn anything bigger. 

(Couldn’t time travel)

Five takes personal offense to that and sits the Boy down at the kitchen table with stacks upon stacks of textbooks piling high. Some of them the rest of the family is pretty sure they didn’t own and others have library stickers even though they definitely don’t have a library card but no one calls him out on it. 

It’s freedom. It’s wonderful. Writing out the numbers that pile behind his tongue, being able to go back and check his work and never losing his place. 

(the others exchange looks later when they find the duo writing an equation out across the hallway wall in sharpie, but the Boy looks so excited that no one has the heart to stop them even though this is the fourth time this month and even Allison has gotten tired of repainting parts of the house at this point and it’s Klaus’s turn to pick the next color and no one has any confidence in his choices)

Allison probably take this opportunity to bully Five into doing more kid things under the reasoning that the Boy is always a lot more relaxed with Five nearby and is often anxious trying new things alone (because what if he isn’t good at it? will he be punished?)

but also the Boy can always be talked into trying new things because he doesn’t want to disappoint anyone

which means Five ends up snatching the flier for painting classes or rollerblading or habitat for humanity volunteering and participating (but he’s going to be grumpy about it and complain the whole time, he claims)

(he doesn’t though because the Boy is nervous enough without Five complaining and ruining it and more often than not he actually ends up having a pretty decent time)

just. a bunch of idiots healing together and also attempting to raise a very traumatized child (or two very traumatized children tbh) and learning what family means to them, what it looks like, and how to finally heal from the wrongs that have been done to them

Everything will be okay.
