WIP Wednesday

A selection from an upcoming chapter of, “In the Running,” a modern AU of, The Dragon Prince.

I find myself dissatisfied with chapter 28 of In the Running ... there are currently 3 versions in my folder. Here is a teaser from "an upcoming chapter." To make things more interesting, I have replaced all names with pronouns. :) Two characters discussing a hypothetical scenario...

“Is the boy a mind reader?”

“Mind readers aren’t real, so no, he is not a mind reader.”

“Then he can’t know that she’s changed her mind, so no, he can’t ask her out.”

“So you don’t think that she should have the choice to say yes?” she responded, her eyebrows arched questioningly.

“I didn’t say that,” he objected. “But it’s the principle … he’s not a good friend if he goes against what he knows about her.”

“But if he doesn’t accept that she can change her mind, he’s limiting her right to make choices, which is not respecting her either.”

“That’s not fair. How is he supposed to know?” he retorted.

“Did you take psychology?”

“Yeah, I took psychology last year,” he replied.

“OK, then you know that most communication is nonverbal, right?”

“Right,” he affirmed, a note of suspicion in his voice. “So she could be sending nonverbal signals, which is where most communication happens anyway, so really she is telling him that she’s changed her mind ...” (I hope to get a full chapter posted before the solstice.) “In the Running,” a modern AU of, The Dragon Prince, by acronymKing.

Head High | excerpt

“Childhood tiptoed out.

Silence slid in like a bolt.”

– Arundhati Roy

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

Usopp stopped running.

In that moment he suddenly felt very tired. He could only run for so long before his heart gave out. He’d hardly remembered what that felt like because he’d been running for far too long to understand what it was to die. He’d been chancing it ever since he saw his childhood home go up in flames. Why not run from the flames when you can watch them consume something you love? You were already dead.

What would life have been like if his mother had never taken a loan from that crook, Teach? Would his mother still be here? Heracles said that she wasn’t gone. But Heracles hadn’t reassured him that she’d come back either. Because she still wasn’t here, holding a plate of beef ragu or caprese chicken saltimbocca out to him, beckoning him to dinner time. “Patatino!” She’d say charmingly. “It’s dinner time. Come.”

Despite how much bullying he’d gone through, he’d been okay knowing his mother would always be able to scrounge up something nice for them both at the end of the day when he’d come back home. She’d let him watch an episode or two of Sniper King before he’d scamper off to his room. He’d then hear the low murmurs coming from the tv screen. The latest telenovela from somewhere in southern Eclipsia.

With those thoughts, Usopp glanced at the park bench he saw from a distance and noticed a lone figure. Their features weren’t easy to distinguish until he was nearer to them. He gasped inaudibly when he recognized the curly haired boy with a nose like his own. It was a younger him. He’d know that Sniper King tee and mini ‘fro anywhere. Upon more inspection he came to realize there were tears rolling down his cheeks, and sniffling; a small weeping sound heard.

It then dawned on him, Older Usopp, that he was looking at himself, right after his mother did the unthinkable. His hair was slightly singed and half broken off, and he smelled like kerosene, sweat, and dirt. He sported a nasty forehead bruise. In his hand, he held a small slingshot. He had it in a tight grip; his knuckles white.

“Where’d they take her?” Young Usopp asked quietly. “Where’d she go?”

That was when he, Older Usopp sat down next to the boy. As though the young boy knew who he was, he hardly looked at him when asking, “She’ll come back, right?” He asked. “She wouldn’t leave me.”

Older Usopp couldn’t lie to him. But the truth never provided comfort. So, maybe silence was the best option. Sitting in silence with the people who understood you the most. Therefore, Usopp didn’t reply to the younger him. He simply put an arm around his shoulder and brought him closer. Back then this was what he’d needed most. Just someone to hold him. Of course, Heracles showed up eventually but the moment had passed by then. He’d decided moving forward that hugging was for wimps; for cowards. But he was robbed of a hug when his childhood ended in Syrup. The Gecko Islands were hell.

He pulled his younger self closer. “I’m sorry,” he murmured. “I’m sorry.”

His younger self was quiet, but still accepted the gesture.

Fic found here.

first meeting and now

[eskildit]

i feel like modern aus with paldulcie tend to place them as a well adjusted happy couple but ya know what. they are not innocent from the dyke drama. they've got an inappropriate age gap. ten years of long-distance letter writing. an unrequited marriage proposal. where are the aus where they're in a fraught on again off again situationship. they're in love. they're not dating. they're everything to each other. its not a relationship. camilla is also there.

In the Running, Chapter 27 - It Takes a Village, Part 3: What Friends Are For

(-A modern AU of, The Dragon Prince, by acronymKing)

“So, what have you got for me?” Rayla asked as she and Callum set out their lunches.

“Well, you need to tell me if I went too far, but I thought I would go with a Berserker Warrior of Vengeance theme. It’s going to be in frames, sort of graphic novel style.”

“Sounds interesting and kind of dramatic,” Rayla mused. “Tell me more.”

“OK, the first frame is the X-Factor getting hurt — right there is where an opposing player is stepping on her,” Callum explained, pointing to the draft he had sketched out. “But the frame after that shows her turning into the Berserker Warrior of Vengeance. See how she’s grown horns, and now she has her battle paint on her face?”

“Wait, she grows horns?” 

“Yeah, she grows horns, and see that? That’s her elixir of enemy blood that will give her mystical warrior strength and other super human abilities.”

“Hold on, Callum. Drinking blood? Are you kidding me?” Rayla asked.

“Well, I thought so … Do you have a problem with that?” Callum asked, trying (and failing) to conceal how much he was enjoying his friend’s reaction. Continued in AO3, In the Running, by acronymKing, Chapter 27 - It Takes a Village, Part 3: What Friends Are For

New Fic | Head High

Summary: Usopp is a coward, an outcast, and friendless. He always runs away from a fight and prefers to avoid anything that brave people are only familiar with. But what happens when he realizes doing nothing means nothing happens and nothing can change? Especially when he can no longer watch stuff fall apart around him?

Well, they say wearing a mask hides shame. But what’s there to be ashamed of?

another prompt from twt, this time modern high school au alhaitham and kaveh requested by @myriadium for @hkvthm-action 🍉

[buff-muffin]

Just had the mental image of modern AU Romance Dawn trio where Nami was the only one who had a bike and so they would constantly use her to get around town. Luffy either sat on the handle bars or more funnily, the basket and Zoro sat on the back but Nami got sick of peddling them around so she switched with Zoro. Problem was, Zoro had no idea where they were going all of the time. So instead of sitting back to back she had to turn around and give directions. And if Zoro didn’t listen, she would reach forward and YANK the handle to where they needed to turn. Luffy has fallen off multiple times through this and laughs every single time finding it hilarious.
