“So, what’s the prognosis, Doc? Am I gonna live?”

Your firehouse buckies? 😍 or anything else with buck x bucky 💓

omg hi! and please yes give me all the excuses to write my firehouse!au buckies!! (for those who may not be familiar - this is firefighter!bucky and bartender/PhD student!buck) here's a little thing set significantly further along than where we're currently at in the actual fic lol. + shout out to @avonne-writes and their 'who's taking who's surname?' poll and the discourse for inspiring a little part of this lol. currently taking prompts from this list: [ x ]

"So, what's the prognosis, Doc? Am I gonna live?"

His voice hoarse and barely there, trust John to tease him even around the tail end of a thermometer, just as Gale went to pull it from his mouth.

'Suppose he can't be too sick if he still has jokes,' was the first thought that came to Gale's mind. The second thought though, sneaking up hot on the first's heels, was 'John would be cracking jokes on his damn deathbed so that really isn't as much of a reassurance as it should be.'

Gale squinted as he examined the numbers. The light was low in the early winter morning, the sun not having quite fully risen yet. He'd usually have switched even just his own bedside lamp on as he got himself ready to leave for the day, but with John's groan of protest that particular morning, he’d quickly switched off again.

It'd been a restless night, and even though they were both feeling the impact of John's tossing and turning, and the seemingly inability for him to breathe at all through his nose anymore, the man himself just looked downright exhausted with it. He'd eventually managed to fall asleep with his hot, clammy forehead pressed into the back of Gale’s neck, plastered to his back, and Gale hadn’t the heart to try and move him despite how he had then been overheating.

"You know there's another, arguably much more enjoyable way to do that..." John leered, even if half-heartedly, and if only to fill the silence as Gale's eyebrows pinched at whatever he saw on the little digital screen.

See, this is why they'd more or less permanently shacked up at Buck's place rather than his. He had stuff like thermometers lying around. Stuff an actual home has.

Gale looked up at him then, incredulous. "You're really trying to flirt with me, sitting there with a 101 degree fever?" he said, turning the thermometer as if to prove his point. Incredulous, but not surprised; not really.

"Baby, if I'm ever sick enough that I don't want to flirt with you, make you blush all pretty like you do, that's when you should be worried."

Gale had almost been tempted to smile at that, until John had to cut himself off, a sudden bout of congested coughing rattling from his throat.

Capturing the inner corner of his bottom lip between his teeth, Gale sighed, his long legs unfolding from beneath him and as he got up from where he'd been perching on his side of the bed. He crossed to John's bedside, pulling the covers further up around the other man’s chest.

Gale clicked his tongue slightly, though his expression and voice betrayed him in their co-ordinating softness. "All of this because you just had to be the hero and go jump in the damn lake."

Off to the side of them, Maverick jumped up onto the bed, sleepily curling in at Bucky's side in the warm spot Gale had just vacated. She bumped her head against John's hand, eager and impatient as the day Gale met her. John responded without even having to look away from the conversation, his fingers scritching at the especially soft little spot of fur behind each of her ears.

“Hey, I saved someone's life."

Gale wordlessly took his phone from his pocket, showing him the text he'd already gotten from Benny, "Just FYI - let the record show that the guy knew how to swim and your boy did not have to jump in after him."

Uh, since when did his team all acquire his boyfriend's number just for the purposes of ratting him out?

"Well how was I supposed to know that?! It’s called due diligence."

Either way, he'd ended up with what seemed to either be a wicked cold or the beginnings of the flu for his trouble.

"You make up for your lack of sympathy with your excellent bedside manner, Doctor" John said, talking half to himself as Gale strode out to the kitchen at the sound of the kettle whistling.

He continued as the other man reappeared a minute later, a steaming Fire Department-branded mug in one hand, his own filled travel mug in the other. "Huh, that's kind of funny, seeing as you will be and everything. Dr Cleven."

“Not that kind of doctor,” Gale muttered, and John breathed out a faint laugh. He knew the difference, duh, but it was cute when Gale interpreted things so literally sometimes before he could think about it.

Gale quirked a brow as he set the mug down on John’s bedside table, batting aside lozenge wrappers and tissues with the rim of it to make room.

"Y'know what has an even better ring to it, though? Dr Gale Egan..."

When the idea of marriage came up between them, it was always in an abstract, vague kind of sense, underpinned by off-hand comments and passing jokes relaying the image of some version of their life that lay a safe distance away on the horizon. It wasn't right in front of them yet, but it felt comfortably inevitable, which made talking about it casually not really a big deal. One of the more common jokes being what they do in terms of surnames.

Gale could tell John was sentimental about his father's name in a way he himself wasn't about his own. It was never said so outright, but he got the sense that it was either a matter of hyphenating (even with John's arguments that neither Cleven-Egan or Egan-Cleven 'sounded right'), or Gale taking John's.

When Gale thought about the idea of shedding his father's name, he felt so much nothing it almost pissed him off because shouldn't it evoke something? Is that not the most normal reaction to losing such a defining part of your identity, feeling some sense of sadness? Of loss? It felt more to him like shrugging off a grimy, weather-beaten old coat turned threadbare in the elements, not particularly pleasant but reliably familiar. It was simply what he had.

Looking now, he took in the pallid, rheumy face and contrastingly long, firm lines of a man who loved him like John loved him. Who loved him so unshakeably, proved to him over and over seemingly without even really having to try; who made it look easy. Who loved him in a way he didn't think he ever could be loved, or be prompted himself to love like he loved John back.

"Well, then I guess you have until I finish my PhD to marry me."

There was a weird beat of silence and neither seem to be sure whether they were still joking or not.

“You saying you want to marry me? Is that a proposal? A deathbed proposal?” The look that bloomed on John’s face was as adorable as it was utterly insufferable. It was, however, quickly dispelled however by a sudden sneeze. He reached for more tissues, the groan that followed evidently vexed.

It cut through whatever tension had inadvertently bled into the moment, though, and Gale smiled. “Bless you. Tempting proposition that it is…” Gale finally said, as he checked his watch. When he continued, there was an edge of regret in his voice. “If I want to be Dr Anything I’d better get going.”

A noise echoed from John's throat, half displeased, half mournful.

Gale sighed and leant forward, bringing a gentle hand to John's fever-flushed cheek, his thumb stroking lightly on the sharp angle of his cheekbone. "Now, you get some sleep and drink plenty of water, you hear me? You can have more of these here pills in like a couple more hours. I should be home around 3ish, but text me if you need anything or your temperature gets any higher."

His voice was as even and steady as ever, only John could tell he was fretting slightly by how unsettled his hands were, and how they kept touching him, fiddling with the blankets, smoothing things down that were already smoothed down as he spoke.

John reached out and grab Gale's wrist, stilled it, in a odd reversal of their usual roles. "Okay, okay..." he acquiesced lightly, easily, and was immediately rewarded when Gale's fingers laced into the sweat-damp curls that had fallen down into his face, moving them aside so he could press a kiss to his forehead. His lips lingered for an achingly welcome half-beat, before moving to press another to his cheek.

Gale tore himself away then, grabbing his wallet, keys, and the steaming travel mug where he'd abandoned them on the dresser, and tossed his bag over his shoulder. A few second later, he was gone.

“Dr Gale Egan” is all John thinks about for the rest of the day.

In between naps, that is.

Top right - SK & DMK reflected in a steampunk-inspired mirror, each dressed in the Dreamy Gear attire of their counterparts but more tailored to them (purples instead of blues for SK, a tattered red cape and a spiked hat belt for DMK). SK stands on his tiptoes and holds his cheeks with a wide, starry-eyed smile, delighted with his new outfit, while DMK stands just behind him to our left, curled into his cape and looking disgruntled, a bit of blush peeking through his mask. Outside the mirror, Spinni stands proudly on our right, smiling and giving a thumbs-up with a hand on his hip and a few sewing pins in his teeth, while Daroach (dressed in his own Dreamy Gear clothes) stands on the opposite side, pointing at his friends' reflections with an affectionate smile. Middle left - SK & Daroach holding the Magic top hat together, the puffball looking up in awe as the thief taps it with his wand, causing a pair of white doves to fly out in a small burst of confetti. Bottom right - SK wearing the Ice hat and skating gracefully on one foot towards the viewer, arms held out and expression full of joy. Behind him, Daroach skates by in the opposite direction, holding up his wand to unleash gusts of glowing snowflakes all around them. END ID.)

Okay I already mentioned the plot twist of Yuu ending up with Lilia because dat thigh game too strong. 🦵 💪😤 🤣

But here’s another plot twist: what if Lilia’s papa bear/adopt children instincts somehow get triggered and latch onto Yuu?

Like, obviously, he’s focused on protecting Silver from Yuu, but there’s been a couple times where we see that, when Silver is NOT there, they CAN coexist.

And this last post of yours, with Crowley telling Lilia he can’t keep kicking Yuu because of the structural damage… that made me think “huh. You know. Crowley is supposed to be taking care of Yuu. Like… Yuu is technically all alone here. Lilia is fae. Yuu is obviously older but like. A free child is a free child. 🤷‍♀️👀💀”

So now Lilia is trying to bring Yuu into the family and telling Yuu that Silver is now Yuu’s BROTHER and Yuu is like “NO. THAT’S THE LOML.” And now Yuu and Lilia are fighting for a completely DIFFERENT reason because Lilia is now determined to take in this poor child that had to SELL THEIR KIDNEY TO AFFORD FOOD WHEN THEY FIRST GOT TO TWISTED WONDERLAND DEAR SEVENS?! while Yuu is screeching that LILIA CAN TAKE CAN CARE OF YUU WHEN YUU MARRIES INTO THE FAMILY BACK OFF BATMAN!!!!

Meanwhile Silver is watching in sleepy confusion, Sebek in horrified confusion, and Malleus in just plain confusion (but he’s happy to be there 😊)

Sorry for the long ask - I just love that series and for some reason that idea just popped into my head and was super funny to me and I wanted to share with you since your series was what inspired it! 💜

Referencing this series

Lol, I love the idea of Lilia slowly developing affection for this problem child to the point of wanting to adopt him.

This be hard for different reasons than you stated, however, as Yuu has a strong aversion towards family for—reasons. He’s also fiercely independent and would rather tear himself apart than depend on others (and he has). (Though the kidney thing isn’t a big deal. He got another one later. Leona should be careful where he naps...) He’d also have to fight Crowley for custody.

You’re on key for Yuu’s reaction though. “You can have me as a son in law, Batty!” lol.

But if Lilia thinks that adopting him will stop Yuu’s pursuit of Silver, he’s got another thing coming. Yuu can call Lilia daddy and Silver hubby easily. (Down internet, you know what I mean.)

I’m so glad people are liking my Yuu and my silly little posts! And I love that people are willing to share their thoughts on the series. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feel free to send more!

PLAYABLE AMY??????

for the nerdy

[thesugarhole]

quick venting post just as i finally began internalizing 'oh well play the cards im dealt' and try to find some comfort in the life i currently have and making future plans to go for an easier get-by once i have a safety net (savings) its like. im suddenly and steadily bombarded by messages like 'make sure you do what you want now dont let life take you on the predicted path its a risk you gotta take' like fucking hello??? theyre not mutually exclusive to a degree but its also... idk to explain its like if you dont have it planned from 10 years old then you might have some good experiences but its never the life youll want. and its direct conflit with 'never too late to start doing something'

yesterday night for example i opened the 'news' (its more articles full of advertising and soccer than actual news) tab on my phone and there was one like 'tips from CEO who retired at 44!' and it w

boiled down to, quote 'having life planned to the microscopic detail by the time she was 20' (im 27 this year, fucking come on) studied hard, worked hard for the first youthful years, made it to portugal microsoft ceo(?) and amassed enough to retire early.

it was mentioned she lost her parents early (at 50yos, but how old was she then?) that helped push her to plan it like this but like. well first of all i guess im still too bright eyed because i dont believe this ceo thing possible without loosing morals/ideals along the way (ive yet to met a ceo thats not incredibly out of touch and wants to fuck over everyone and everything for their own gain), but i find it harder to believe there was no silver spoon, especially for those first years. granted if shes 44 now she probably had an easier economy then, but hm. millions work hard from the moment theyre born, how come they don't retire at 44?

the investments. there it was. 'oh i invested in real estate and other small things' thats not hard work, thats gambling. and thats the exact moral loss i expected, the way real estate in portugal is now. and god this pisses me off so much what the FUCK does 'invest in real estate' EVEN MEAN?? you want me to buy stocks off some company?? you want me to buy a house and become a landlord?? i dont even have a place for myself, much less for the tourists and digital nomads. and for every one person saying they got rich off investing, oh you gotta invest smart etc theres 10 currently trying and bleeding money and about 30 that already gave up on it. like it genuinely feels like any other get rich quick scheme where its disheartening that it worked for a couple people and those couple people already had money to begin with

idk if any if this is gonna make sense im writing from heart and whatever the text leads but you understand this right. like my current goal is to just find something later on that will pay decent, not make me slowly but steadily give up on it and have personal time for hobbies. and then i get this shit thrown at me. in 4 months ive been broken down enough that the ridiculous honey pot that is 'invest! stocks! etc!' is starting to appeal to me. like i am not going to be different from the other failure cases im not one lottery away from being set for life. and at the very least im not putting money in the machine selling 40m2 studio apartments for 1 million euros to foreigners while throwing people in the streets if they had houses, jail if they were illegally occupying abandoned houses with no roof. fuck sakes

Master Koon reminds Tru of Ry-Gaul. Both of them are calm and quiet in the same way. That’s how Tru knows they will get along on the mission.

“The Council made a good choice.”  He says as they are on their way to leave the temple.

He requested to join master Koon as soon as he learnt the man would depart for Teeva. They were to examine a force-sensitive child, and if it really was one, then it would be the second Teevan to join the order this century. Tru was the first.

“Teeva’s closed off and has little history with the Jedi, so it might ease the family to see a familiar face. No offense to your face, master Koon.”

The Groves Houston: A Perfect Blend of Nature and Modern Living

Discover the Benefits of Living in The Groves Houston

Nestled in the northeastern part of The Groves Houston is a stunning master-planned community that offers tenants the best of both worlds: a quiet nature site that simultaneously gives the touch of modernity.

The Groves is another signature project of Ashlar Development L.L.C., which was also evaluated as a Certified Wildlife Habitat; that means that living spaces are created so that the area where people live is organically blended with local wildlife.

This stunning development is perfect for those seeking some space for respite from the daily hustle and bustle in one of the liveliest cities of America, where you are surrounded by all the conveniences that make Houston such a great place to live.

Many of these housing estates look like natural forests of large trees and spacious green compounds, giving the feeling of a sanctuary from the real world.

It is important to note that The Groves was created to promote nature-related feelings. This makes it a perfect place for those who love outdoor activities.

Essential to this nature-oriented design is that The Groves is accredited as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. This distinction reflects measures such as environmentally suitable structures and the general enhancement of the area's fauna with food sources.

People often enclose different types of birds, butterflies, and other wild animals because of the availability of natural habitats. To the residents, this implies living in an environment where all sorts of natural features are easily observed and heard, thereby promoting their welfare.

The Groves Houston: Beautifully Designed Homes

The houses in The Groves Houston are as magnificent as nature has been provided around them.

Designed with the help of some of the most renowned companies, including Highland Homes, Perry Homes, and Village Builders, the houses are visually eye-pleasing and practical. These homes are intended to enhance natural beauty with particular architectural styling.

Home seekers can choose different types and sizes of homes to suit their family size and tastes. From the first-time home buyer searching for an intimate home to the young growing family seeking a home that will accommodate their expansion, The Groves is a perfect realization of this dream.

Houses are easily accessible, and large windows open to great scenic views, open floor plans, and large outdoor areas for residents to freely enjoy the beauty of the homes' setting.

The focus on quality is reflected in the details of design decisions that improve not only the aesthetic appeal of the homes but also their usability.

Opulence, integrated technology, and sustainability characterize these buildings so residents can live comfortably to the latest standard.

Amenities That Foster Community and Recreation

The Groves isn't just an apartment home; it is a community that offers all the opportunities to live a happy life.

Multiple fun recreation options ensure that one is never out of things to do; some are for customers to relax and unwind, for families with children, or for interacting with other residents next door.

Full credit for this should go to the Groves developers, who saw fit to provide several trails in The Groves.

Numerous walking and bicycling tracks pass through the community's woodlands, parks, and other open land areas. These trails are ideal for morning jogs, evening strolls, and bicycle riding with the family. They also allow residents to discover nature's beauty and autonomously join the community.

For those who like spending time in the fresh air, The Groves offers many things to do. The community has several parks, playgrounds, and picnic stations, creating an apt family environment.

This can be seen from the level of activity attracted to the community fishing pond, where many people visit it mainly to relax and exercise their fishing skills. Residents can also relax at a specially dedicated dog park, where people can permit their dogs to play off-leash and interact with other pets.

Another advantage of living in The Groves is that it is a lifestyle center in this community and encourages people to participate in various activities.

This new building has the benefits of our best club facilities: a pool and fitness center and a new lawn for community events such as concerts, outdoor films, and seasonal gatherings. Whether you want to rest in hot summer weather or exercise at the gym, the lifestyle center offers anything.

A Strong Sense of Community

Living in The Groves, people feel like acquaintances and family surround them. Everything from the community's layout to the services and daily programming is designed to encourage relationships between residents.

The Groves are the perfect environment for families to call home; children will grow up with neighbors, and everyone will feel at home.

Groves' developers have also ensured ample provisions for people to engage with others throughout the development. This is especially true for community events and random meetings in or around the trails or parks. This established community offers a full schedule for residents of all ages, thanks to the community's dedicated lifestyle director.

Access to Top-Notch Education

The Groves lie within the Humble Independent School District for families with children of school-going age.

This has placed the district among the best academic performers in the region and provides education opportunities that prepare students for future endeavors. Groves Elementary School within the community is an accessible, inclusive, top-notch facility for younger kids while older persons attend middle and high schools.

Easy Reaching the Beauty of Houston

While The Groves gives a more secluded impression, it is no longer a sheltered place. This area also allows the community access to many of Houston's major recreation facilities and employment hubs.

The residences' location is well-provided, just minutes from Beltway 8 and Highway 59; residents can readily access downtown Houston, the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, and other significant centers.

With some of The Groves' amenities near city workplaces, those who work in the city will find The Groves strategically located for easy commuting back home.

Finally, at the end of an exhausting day in bustling city life, returning to the silence and serenity of The Groves is the best thing. Further, the community is close to a shopping mall, restaurants, and other fun activities. One can quickly go out for dinner or shop for different items.

The Best of Both Worlds – Nature and Conventional Living

The Groves provide an opportunity to feel the advanced idea of living together with beautiful nature.

Most people are attracted to the fact that the community has beautiful sceneries, good architecture in homes, and many amenities that give the people living there a dignified life in The Groves. Those are the Principles of protected space, environmental care, family-oriented living, proximity with others, and nature.

If you're considering a place to live in Greater Houston and want something serene, green, and self-contained but not remotely located, The Groves will undoubtedly interest you. Its breathtaking house designs, excellent community components, and people-oriented environment make it one of Houston's most successful examples of master-planned communities.
