#my boy he's grown up so much aaaa

[concernedbrownbread]

My favourite Arslan moments from chapter 125 (spoilers)

+ lame commentary

[All IDs in alt text]

The way he swallows his grief. Makes me wanna cry omg

SMOL

The sheer calmness in his eyes. The restraint. I just wanna hug him.

I might be wrong, but when Gieve found out about Arslan's wet nurse and drew this conclusion, there was no indication that Arslan himself had figured it out as well. Just how long had he been holding it in?

The fire crackle to show his flicker of anger, before the flames soothe out again. Can you not with the imagery because my heart can't take it.

EVERYTHING about this part. From the cold, "You never truly understood me" and the delivery of "This is farewell." The thing that got Arslan to finally denounce her was that she though he would ever hurt her. Hurt anyone really. She really didn't know him at all.

I wonder if in this moment she figured it out -- who he really was.

Aaaa I'm glad you liked my rambling couple of headcanons!! The image of reader and cora just in the background while law is doing his scary surgeon of death thing cheering him on and offering potential new crewmates is so funny actually. And I agree there is nothing funnier to me than the idea of getting forced to join a pirate crew like doflamingo's just because you have a vague amount of childcare experience and were nice to a couple kids. I'm obsessed with baby dellinger (I know you haven't met him but he slays) and I like the idea of reader thinking his sharp teethies and horns are adorable and just kind of rolling with their new job and baby talking a bloodied toddler dellinger lmao. Maybe reader is a bit more deranged than everyone thought!

Yeah thank you for sending it in, it's a very fun AU to play with! I thought about it way too much at work today, so I'm dumping all of those random thoughts into this.

I've seen pictures of Dellinger, so I know who you're talking about.

Angel has a tendency to baby all of the kids, so of course that's going to apply to the actual baby. She's always cooing over how cute his little horns and teeth are. Even when he's being a terror, she's excusing everything with: he's literally a baby. You got bit? Well why were you putting your hand so close to his mouth? He isn't even walking yet. If you're getting injured by him, that's just a skill issue on your part. Angel doting on him so much turns him into a major mama's boy.

Anyways onto my random ideas

Angel and Corazon's first interaction is a trainwreck because it happened after Angel saw him chuck Law out a window. Her first order of business is to go get Law and treat him, but the second she's done, she's out for blood. By the time she tracks down Corazon, she's so mad that she grabs the back of his coat and yanks on it so hard that she actually manages to make him fall flat on his ass. The instant he's down, she's grabbing him by the collar and laying into him like, "You are a grown ass man! In what fucking universe do you think it's okay for you to throw one of my kids out of a window?! Law is already sick, and now you're trying to kill him too?! If you so much as look at him again, I'll skin you alive and turn you into a coat!" She shoves him as she leaves, and Corazon just sits there in stunned silence because that was actually terrifying. He thought she was just a nanny, he didn't know she was capable of that. Doflamingo saw the whole thing and it just makes him like Angel more. Maybe she isn't so different from the rest of them after all.

Doflamingo gets all of the kids (excluding Law's stubborn ass) to call Angel 'mom'. Partially because he's so hung up on his whole family shtick, but mostly as a manipulation tactic to guilt trip her into not wanting to leave.

When it's time for Corazon and Law to leave, Angel promises to meet up with them when it's time to go. She says she has some last minute packing to do and will be right back. The "packing" is just smuggling the kids out in a crate (except for Dellinger who just gets stuffed in a purse because he's so tiny) because there isn't a chance in hell that she's leaving her kids to get raised by Doflamingo. Now Law has two embarrassing parents and also three siblings to annoy the hell out of him. He suffers even in the good AUs.

Doflamingo is irate when he realizes what happened and where like half of his damn family went. The betrayal is the worst part, but he's also pissed because he was starting to have a thing for Angel and he's mad that she's with his brother and not him.

BOOK ELEVEN BOOK ELEVEN AAA

BIG SPILLERS FOR BOOK ELEVEN

OK I WARNED YOU

AAAA

I had two things for book eleven but like cmon

Had to share this one, and i can use the other one tomorrow since i don't have anything epic for it otherwise sob

I drew this when i thought his hair was black for some reason bc despite my 800 rereads idk i just

Nothing clicked.

Then for a while after that i thought he was blonde bc blonde moustache and i kinda like that idea but then the wiki says he's also a redhead so like

Yeah, ANYWAY

How to Betray a Dragons Hero is my favourite one of the books i think 🫶🫶 from start to finish it's just such a masterpiece of an emotional rollercoaster. The moment it starts we see even more the devastation Furious and Alvin's war has wreaked, the dragons having caused forests and cities and islands to be reduced to ash in their rage and the Alvinsmen having driven these dragons further into their rage by killing them and stoking their anger every single day.

And then there's Hiccup and i just

The poor boy ok

I look back at how young he was through the series and find having started as younger than he ever was and now being older than we ever get to see him (excluding the epilogue) it feels like I've grown up with him.

And with Fishlegs.

I may resonate with this book most bc we all have an idea of what it is to be othered by society. The loneliness Hiccup and Fishlegs face, the isolation Camicazi faces for truly her first time now standing with these two boys, and the hope for better resonates deep in me.

I love how Cressida, in all her novels, seem to center around this quote of hers from wizards of once.

"We have to trust in the children and hope for the best."

She puts so much emphasis on the childlike hope, the lack of cynicism and the reality that change IS possible if you're willing to chase it. And even if you don't see it come to fruition, it's a matter of two steps forward and one step back.

Hiccup makes it to tomorrow (literally lives another day) because of Snotlout realizing that no matter what, you can start to fight for the better. The war ended because of Snotlout's act of selfless bravery even though he never saw the end of it.

I think another reason these themes resonate with me is it also aligns with some biblical aspects. How Jesus said that children would inherit the kingdom of God, and how childlike faith is necessary.

These are definitely thoughts i wanted to tack onto book/day twelve but oh well, here we are.

I really love these books and hopefully have some musings left for book 12 tomorrow. Happy Doomsday!!

Hii! I really love your work there 💓 Tokito Childhood Crush was def a good idea and a sweet treat. I was wondering if you could write a sequel of what happened to them after meeting up in the library and then hanging out and starting going out on dates here and there? I also wanted Reader to catch up with Yuichiro cause it's been so long and after clearing what's up and all, they kinda hang out and stuff! I did not know I needed this until I read it it was honestly just so cute! 💗💗

A/n: aaaa thank you sm >.< honestly, i was thinking like 'ah i shouldn't leave it hanging like this' when i wrote the ending. i even contemplated whether i should make this a longer story and cross post it on ao3. but i'm glad you left a request so here we go!

Starting Over | Muichiro Tokito

Sequel to Childhood Crush

──────────────────────────────────────────

Meeting your childhood crush after years of not talking to each other was something you didn't expect to happen.

Meeting your childhood crush after years of not talking to each other, then went out on countless of dates with him? Never in a million years would you expect that.

Muichiro took you out for a coffee and you both got busy catching up with each other. Muichiro did go to the same university as you, majoring in Music. That's why you've never seen him around before. He was cooped up inside the art department building, practicing until late at night.

You also found out that Yuichiro was supposed to go there as well, but changed his mind last minute and moved to another city. He was studying to become a PE teacher. As expected from Yuichiro. You remembered him running around the school during recess and PE.

You thought your interest in Muichiro was long gone. You always thought that you only remembered him as a childhood crush, someone you couldn't possibly fall for the second time. But boy, were you wrong.

Muichiro was as calm as you remembered, but he had grown so much. You couldn't help but admire his pretty face every time you went out with him. You liked to watch as his slender fingers wrapped around his cup of coffee. You adored the way he wrapped his arm around your shoulder when you both crossed the street, or when he was holding the umbrella as the two of you pushed through the rain to get to a bar.

"I... would like to start over with you, if you don't mind." Muichiro said one night, when the two of you were having dinner in an Italian restaurant. (Again, Muichiro paid for your meal.) It was your nth date, nearly six months after you met him in the library. Yet, you still wondered when did Muichiro start speaking so straightforwardly.

"Ah..." You put your fork down and folded your hands on the table. "...and what will your objective be?"

"Pursuing a romantic relationship with you, of course." Muichiro mimicked your gesture and leaned forward. "If it works then I'll be your bo—no, I'll be your partner. And, if things really, really, work out... then..."

You raised an eyebrow, definitely interested.

"I see." You smiled. "Damn, you really are a man now, aren't you, Mui?"

Muichiro laughed. "I learned a thing or two from Yui. He was a real casanova back in high school. But I'm serious about what I said. If you're down, then we can try it out and date each other. If you're not, then we can be just friends."

You tilted your head from one side to another. Sure, at that point, you've already went out on countless of dates with Muichiro. You were sure he didn't change much, except for the cursing, the smooth talking he adopted from Yuichiro, and of course his appearance. He was still the soft and kind Muichiro you knew, but older and more mature.

"Alright." You finally spoke up. "Yeah, let's do this."

Muichiro let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding, covering his face with his hands. "Oh my God, I really thought you were going to reject me."

"I thought you're fine with being friends?"

"Well, yeah, but I prefer to be your partner."

There were no butterflies in your stomach, but you felt your chest grew warm. That's when you kind of figured out, it wasn't just some silly crush. You actually felt safe and content with this new relationship.

Having Muichiro as your partner felt like a fresh air in your hectic uni life. Yes, you two were busy bees, always had something in your schedule. However, you were glad that you could still hang out with Muichiro pretty often. Sometimes, he stopped by your dorm with some take out food, reminding you to eat even when you're drowning in assignments and lab reports.

You used to spend your time doing assignments in the library or in your dorm room. Once you knew Muichiro practiced violin in a small, individual practice room, you preferred going there. You mostly listen to classical pieces as you work, anyway.

You both still went out on dates, going to a restaurant or watch a movie if there was something worth to watch. Your favorite activity to do was hanging out in Muichiro's apartment, talking about anything and everything while you eat dinner. Especially on Saturdays, because it became a routine for you to stay the night.

You loved sleeping with Muichiro because even though you were so close to each other, you still had space to move around. Muichiro only cuddled with you until he fell asleep, humming a random melody from the piece he was working on as he pressed his lips on your forehead. After he drifted off, he would usually scoot away.

One day you woke up in the morning and found that Muichiro was already up. He wasn't next to you, but you could hear him out in the living room. You decided to go to him and ask for your morning kiss.

Muichiro smiled when he saw you walked out of the bedroom. He was on the sofa, talking with someone through his phone. Muichiro stretched out his one arm, motioning you to come closer. You groggily straddled his laps and snuggled up on the crook of his neck, sighing in delight. You always loved how warm Mui was.

"Yeah, just let me know when you're almost here. (Y/N) is here. They just woke up." Muichiro planted a soft kiss on top of your head. "Ah, too bad. Could've been an interesting double date."

You raised your head and frowned. What double date?

"Alright, see you." Muichiro hung up the call and shifted his focus entirely to you. "Good morning."

"Who was it?" You croaked out.

"Ah, that was... Yui. Apparently he's back in town for the weekend. So, he's coming over." Muichiro said.

"Dang..." You huffed, hiding your face back in Mui's neck. "We should get ready. He's coming over soon?"

"Yup. Go freshen up. I'll make the breakfast."

You entrusted Muichiro with breakfast as you showered. Muichiro couldn't cook, so you were quite sure that he was reheating the bagels you bought last night and brew some coffee. You were right.

Yuichiro arrived not long after you finished your breakfast. Muichiro opened the door for him and you watched as the twins interacted with each other. Muichiro was fit, but Yuichiro was ripped. Muichiro told you he was in the kendo club and worked out every day.

"Hi, (Y/N)!"

To your surprise, Yuichiro offered you a fist bump—which you returned.

"Hello!" You sheepishly greeted him. Muichiro stood next to you, wrapping an arm around your waist and kissed your cheek.

"It's been such a long time since I saw you!" Yuichiro said. "Glad to finally find out who you actually like, though."

Your face grew red and Muichiro clicked his tongue. "Stop teasing them. I'll kick your shin, you dick."

"I'll break your violin, you ass." Yuichiro retorted.

You were taken aback by the way the two bantered, but laughed anyway. The image of the past, Tokito twins being innocent kids was completely erased from your mind.

Yuichiro ended up hanging out with the two of you the whole day. You three went out to grab lunch, then randomly decided to play bowling. After dinner, Yuichiro excused himself as he had to go to their parents' house.

"It's really nice meeting you again, (Y/N)." Yuichiro said. "Next time I'll bring my partner over so we can go play bowling, the four of us."

"Sure! Take care, Yui!" You waved as he walked away. Yeah, he finally let you call him Yui.

"Wanna go back to my place?" Mui offered, holding your hand.

"Alright, I don't wanna climb up three flights of stairs to reach my dorm room."

You let Muichiro held your hand, dragging you towards his car. He opened the door for you and put a hand above your head as you slid in, not wanting you to hit your head. After you were seated comfortably, he leaned forward to help you with your seatbelt.

"I got it, Mui." You giggled.

He didn't listen. He clicked the seatbelt into its place before turning his head to you. You smiled at him, having no clue why he looked at you a little bit different.

"What's wrong, Mui—"

The next thing you knew, he closed the gap between the two of you as he crashed his lips against yours. You were taken aback, but you kissed him back. He cupped your face with one hand, the other roamed down to your shoulder and arm before taking your hand in his. He pulled away, kissing along your jaw and ended up sucking on a spot behind your ear. You gripped his hand tightly, which made him chuckled.

Mui pecked your lips once again and kissed the back of your hand that he's holding. His mint green eyes were staring straight into your soul.

"I love you, (Y/N)."

"I love you too, Mui."

He smiled widely and closed the door. You watched as he quickly circled the car and got behind the steering wheel.

"What was that for?" You asked him.

"Hmm? Oh," Mui shrugged, "I just love you so much."

"Hmm..."

"...and I'm glad to know that you chose me over Yui, back then."

You rolled your eyes and snorted. "Yeah, no shit. I barely spoke with him."

Mui just shook his head and hit the gas slowly, driving the car away from the bowling alley's parking lot.

A/n: idk should i make this into an entire new story in ao3? idk idk idk it's kinda tempting but idk

[kieselgeist]

Helloooooooooo Do you have any headcanons about Phantom ?

Aaaa! Oh boy do I have headcanons about him! 

I would love to infodump and overshare so much rn, but I might post my huge fanfiction project about him one day- And I don’t wanna take too much away from that. Here's just a bit.

Very very important: Bug appreciation. Loves bugs and bats (obviously).

When Papa summoned Phantom, it wasn’t the best time for everyone. They summoned him in the storage basement with not the best preparation. Where, of course, Phantom got startled and ran off immediately. So the first night was spent by almost all the ghouls searching the basement and later the entire ministry to find the scared new ghoul. 

They were not so successful. 

Even tho you’d think a ghoul should be able to sniff out another hellish creature, none of them could find any trace of him. This got the others joking that they’re looking for a ghost, for a phantom. And that name just stuck when he was ‘found’ by Rain. While he was wary of all the other ghouls at first, he felt okay approaching the calmest of them all first.

Since none of the ghouls remember anything from before their summoning, Phantom also doesn’t recall his time in hell yet. If he still had those memories.. he’d remember his real name, how he involuntarily lived among full grown demons, and that being the reason for understanding their infernal speech. While ghouls can usually only speak a lesser tongue, Phantom is able to read and understand most of the demonic language too. 

He carried a lot out of hell with him. He doesn’t conciously know of his ability to better disappear into the shadows and hide his scent away from other creatures. He doesn’t remember why the noise of thunder makes his heart sink and causes an incomparable fear as if there is something seated deep inside his subconscious. He doesn’t recall where his scars come from and why they are so discolored. 

While he notices that all of the ghouls and Papa seem distant and their hearts stricken with grief, he tries his hardest to fit in with the family. And he gets in fights with a heartbroken and volatile Sodo. Who does not seem to accept him at all, but also is the one who’s forced to teach him how to play guitar. 

Ghouls pick up new skills very quickly and are good learners for nearly every task, but Phantom exceeds even that. He practises hard, fights for approval and master’s the rhythm guitar in a timeframe that seemed impossible. 

It’s his calling and his nature, and he does it well. His guitar becomes his most important possession and he plays it in every free second. 

He enjoys nighttime and the ministry’s garden. Loves the taste of honey, oranges and -as ghouls do- blood. He watches reality TV with mountain; reads ancient books with Rain; plays pranks on the others with Aurora; has deep talks with Swiss when there’s a storm outside; and fucks up Papa’s sermons on more than one occasion. 

His oral fixation means chewing on anything there is to chew, which unfortunately, sometimes is his bug friends in the garden. He tries very hard to regain lost memories from hell to chase answers, but at the same time wants to move on and fully be a part of his new family.

But don’t assume everything else is going as well as his playing guitar. This ghoul is adhd incarnate and is way too curious about the human world. He learns things that he’d probably be better off not knowing, pokes around in the past and asks his Papa about the previous ghouls and Papas. He causes big trouble and drags the attention of some very unpleasant people to the ministry.

He also grows close to the other ghouls, but especially close to one of them. He finds comfort and a safe haven in his arms.

Thank you for asking my probably favorite question <3

AAAA OKAY SORRY SORRY TRY NOW!!!

-💤

IT WORKS NOW eeeee yay thank you so much!!!!! this made me so emotional (in a good way!)!! i just cannot tell you how honoured i am that you did this for one of my stories like.....i genuinely don’t even have the words to describe how incredible that is and how lucky i am to have you here with me. thank you so much for sharing this with me, i will cherish it so very much ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)

my thoughts on each song beneath the cut!!!

family tree - ethel cain

i totally see what you’re saying here!!! ugh god i love ethel cain so much, her music is just so perfect for so much of my work in terms of vibes and atmosphere yk what i mean??? so i was so glad to see that u included her here!!

demolition lovers - mcr

there’s a dozen reasons in this gun has got to be one of my favourite lyrics ever, wow!!! but also, i loved the whole last minute or so of this song!! i know that’s where the lyrics you selected are from, but i just feel like that entire final verse describes the trajectory of dabi and reader’s relationship??? from their first meeting to that last scene with keigo in the hospital.

i would die for you - in this moment

okay, YES. yes, i completely get what you mean LMAO. just that ravenous, all-consuming, downright obsessive love, us against the world type, those who continuously swallow each other whole just to spit them back out again and repeat the entire process. loved it so much <33 VERY dabi x reader!!!

voodoo doll - the funeral portrait

oof okay this song hit so hard it made me sob. as i’ve said before, tag you’re it is a very personal story to me, having grown up with and lived with (and been parented by) addicts for my entire life. because, honestly, addiction doesn’t just hurt the user, it hurts everyone who cares about the user, too. i’m not gonna go too deep into that but i loved everything you had to say about this song and i agree with you one million percent, you hit the nail right on the head!!!

life vest - the material

okay let me just take a moment to bask in the fact that the motel scenes are your favourite because i worked SO insanely hard on those scenes LMAO <3 two bodies with one beating heart oh i love love love this. but yeah!!! at that moment in the story especially, dabi is her life vest; for the majority of their time there (right up until the end) he discards his manipulation and casts off his selfishness and allows himself to just be with her, to be there for her, for completely selfless reasons, because he truly does love her. it is a crucial point in their relationship!

tears don’t fall - bullet for my valentine

ooooh yes okay!!! one of the lyrics that really stuck out to me in this song is there’s always something different going wrong / the path i walk’s in the wrong direction because it feels very keigo, especially since he was the golden boy who fell from grace, essentially. adding onto your selection of lyrics, the her conscience calls the guilty to come home also kind of reminded me of the guilt reader feels for leaving keigo, and how that guilt kind of repeatedly calls for her to come back to him, sometimes in the form of keigo himself.

everybody sells cocaine - motionless in white

holy fuck i LOVED this song!!! and you’re SO right, btw!!! dabi is constantly tempting keigo, taunting keigo, ‘testing’ keigo in the most twisted, unfair ways ever. i don’t even have anything to add, i just agree with you wholeheartedly.

jupiter - flower face

omg yes this is VERY dabi x reader during their budding relationship in part one especially. also, these silly games we play / stupid ways to make you stay / my heart’s split open on display / i can’t wait another day pretty much encompasses them fully <33 also also, rly loved the lyric it must be holy to feel something so pure makes me think of dabi as he initially starts to truly fall in love with her—real, pure, sincere! okay i just got to the end of the song and tbh, i think there’s even an argument to be made here for part two as well, and the way their relationship progresses, the concept of home, etc.

luna - wisp

feeling u hardcore on the chest aching with this song. it’s just the melody, you know??? it feels so infused with raw emotion. this one also kind of reminds me of the sex scene in part one AHAHAHA but that’s more due to how hazy and fragmented reader is <3

bottles - the material

oh yeah, for sure! alcoholism is still substance abuse, and it is still addiction. oof this is another one that made me like, super emotional. just rly struck a chord!! i love everything you’ve pointed out here, and i also love how the chorus (in particular the lyrics those bottles are everywhere / and i can’t be everywhere / to keep them from you) reminds me so much of how reader feels towards keigo’s addiction for the majority of the series; she so desperately wishes to save him from himself, she so desperately wants to help, to be useful, but she truly cannot be everywhere cataloging all of his actions all of the time

aaaah WOW sleepy!!!! incredible playlist, thank you again for sharing it with me and the rest of us here on inkykeiji!!! your selection of songs and the order in which you curated them was just genius, i am so blessed to be able to experience this <333

[orbitfalls]

AAAAA HELLO CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT OUT OF ORDER?!?! 80k is SO exciting

YESSS OFC I WILL LOVE!!! and aaaa yes 80k im so proud of myself!!!! out of order is my first ever fic (still a work in progress but she's grown quite long lately heheh!!) so it has a very special place in my heart<33 i definitely do feel like i've improved a lot since i started writing it, but i think that progress is a good thing yk<3

it's wolfstar- and jily centered, or at least it started out that way, but Pandora and Barty lowkey started taking over the story as i got progressively more and more invested in their characters. The plot itself is still about wolfstar and jily, and they're still the MCs, but half the chapters are just pandora and barty being icons at this point😭 then barty and lily started flirting and i was like, WOW, HOLD ON, WE'RE GETTING WAYY OFF TRACK HERE so i invented ✨east of eden✨ to let my inner demons unfold (and east of eden has now become my favourite to write, unsurprisingly). this is also essentially how i got into shipping bartylily lol<3

oh and look at that, i've already gotten off track in my own rambling again... let me tell you about out of order!!

it's a boarding school AU, and a muggle AU with a modern setting. the concept is that sirius and james are your standard it-boy roommates and have been for the past several years (peter erasure:( didn't much like his character when i started writing it and it's too late to change it now), but the story starts off with remus transferring to their school and being assigned to their dorm, which starts a bunch of drama, because remus is a rather famous influencer. The Thing is, though, that wolfstar used to be very close, but a Big ThingTM happened two years ago which sparked a HUGE conflict between the two of them that no one else knows about, and which would be a huge scandal for Remus' career if it ever got out. the whole thing's very dramatic and tense, and there's a bunch of drama happening on the side lines while the story unfolds. i'm adding a little snippet below that's really not that little because i just can't shut the fuck up. it's set at mary's birthday party, narrated by an ecstasy-tripping remus lol<3

(forever pushing the albino rosier twins agenda btw)

As Remus trips through the tightly packed dance floor, even the familiar of faces distort and disfigure, napes growing fingers that stretch through tinsel-decorated locks of hair and eyes that are too wide, or too round, or just misplaced in general. Mostly, they're brown, or green, or blue. Some are heavy-lidded, some are red around the edges, some have dilated pupils. Pandora's eyes have a sort of reddish purple shade. They're the type of eyes that are round and sort of puppy-like, with a little space of white that droops below her irises as if she's always looking up. She's traced them with eyeliner that stands out against the pale surface of her skin, and when she smiles, gentle creases form under her platinum bottom lashes. "Remus." Her voice sounds like she's speaking through a shallow body of water. Her eyes look like little purple suns. Remus sees them rise and fall over the horizon and imagines how his lifespan shortens by another day every time they move. He imagines how ancient she must be. This is why you shouldn't do ecstasy in the bathroom, he supposes. He blinks. She's looking at him still. He blinks again. "Aren't you supposed to hate me?" "Hate you?" Her head tilts to the side. There's something faintly unsettling about the way her features bend with her emotions, not a cold and motionless face like Regulus' or a vivid display of dramatics like Sirius', but some third and different option entirely. "I don't do that much. Why do you think I should hate you?" Remus shrugs. He's sort of forgotten. "I don't know. Aren't you Regulus' girlfriend?" "Certainly not," she laughs. "Regulus is family. Sure if you'd hurt him, I'd hurt you, but I wouldn't have to hate you to do that." She says it easily, not the trace of a threat in her tone. She's quite a small girl, smaller than both Lily and Regulus - still, Remus' intuition tells him that he'd be in deep trouble if she ever decided she wanted him to be. Remus sways slightly. The song changes and more people press onto the dance floor; he feels the pulse of the wood under his feet. It beats in sync with his own pounding head. Pandora smiles, and Remus watches her eyes crease. She says, "But Regulus isn't the one you damaged, at the end of the day, so I hold nothing against you." She's got a pretty voice, softspoken and a little deep for a girl, with a posh finality to the details of her words. She pronounces them properly, pierced lips moving around each syllable like she's blowing bubbles through a piece of gum: Certainly. Pop. Regulus. Pop. Sure. Pop. "Oh," Remus says. He feels like a tree in the wind. "That's good." Pandora laughs. She reaches out a small hand, fingers heavy with silver rings. There's one on her middle finger, shaped like a snake. It hisses at Remus. "Come, let's go to the others," it says. Pandora's hand is sort of warm, but also sort of cold, like when you put your hand into water so cold it seems to ignite your skin.

AAAA!! I love ur art and writing so much!! 🩷 🩷🩷 This was a good time to catch up bc now I can tell you abt my boy Conner. I’m still making my way through his stuff but I’ll try to give u as many sources as i can.

First, pls pls pls I beg of you don’t make Superman hate Conner. Superman has never hated him. Even in the Young Justice cartoon where he avoided Conner like the plague during the first season, and only bc ppl (Batman) kept trying to push responsibility of this kid on him while he was still processing everything. They literally make up at the end of the season and become brothers. Superman gives him the kryptonian name Kon-el because he considers him to be family.

Superboy #59

If you’ve heard about the “Kon-el means abomination” that was a New 52 thing and New 52 is highly regarded as being *very bad*. (Also N52 Conner is a different character with a different backstory)

Anyway, his first appearance was in Adventures of Superman #501. He’s sassy, flirty, and loved being the center of attention. He’s also a little gullible bc he was literally born yesterday. He wants to give ppl the benefit of the doubt.

Kon says CLONE RIGHTS. He’s a clone himself (even though technically hes a clex test tube baby and not a clone but wtvr, thanks Geoff johns). He has an evil clone made to replace him called Match and Conner still considers him family.

Superboy #36

During Kon’s introduction, there was an editorial ban on any kryptonians so “Last Son of Krypton” could stay a true statement. Their work around is that he’s a human clone with an ability that mimics kryptonian powers. This power is called Tactile Telekinesis and he does not shut up about it. Despite its lame ass name it’s actually really cool. He’s able to shield ppl from bullets just by touching them just to name an example.

Adventures of Superman #503 & 506

Young Justice #2, Superboy #18, YJ #3

Young Justice. I haven’t read much of YJ yet so I actually can’t talk much abt it. Kon, Tim, Cassie, and Bart are the Core Four of YJ and they are incredibly close. Think everlasting trio levels of close. When Kon died, none of them took it well. Cassie joined a cult about him and Tim tried to clone him back to life. Shipping between the them is pretty common, though Cassie is usually agreed to be a lesbian and ;is often shipped with another YJ member Cissie (Arrowette). I’m personably a fan of TimKon and there a lot of comic refs I could use for why, but this is getting kinda long.

Some more stuff:

JLA: World Without Grown-Ups: is pre-young Justice. It’s an impromptu team up of Kon, Tim, and Bart (impulse) after magical shenanigans splits reality in two. I HIGHLY recommend this comic. It’s only two issues and is so damn funny.

Superboy #85: hella goofy. Has some fun interactions between kon, cass, and Tim. Set during cass’ term as batgirl. I still quote his dumb ‘pregnable’ joke often.

Reign of the Supermen (2019) movie: This is a retelling of the Reign of the Supermen arc that started in Adventures of Superman #501. Superboy’s origins has be changed so that he’s more involved with Luthor (reflecting his new origin as half Luthor). In the og comics him and Luthor have like one convo and that’s it. BUT his personality is mostly the same, he’s still the flirty sassy kid with the leather jacket and dumb glasses. The movie is free w/ ads on Tubi, otherwise you’ll either have to pay or pirate to watch.

The excursion in the Batcave hadn't set Danny’s recovery back as much as he'd thought it would, which he was grateful for. He’d missed dinner that day, having slept through it after they had given him additional medication to keep his fever under control. But the next morning he'd still been able to join a few people for breakfast, even if it was a little later than most. It was also a little quieter than usual, with the heavy topic from the previous afternoon weighing on people’s minds.

“...Are you sure you’re still feeling better?” Jazz asked, noting how Danny was absently nibbling on the toast he had with a light cream cheese forgotten on the side.

“Hm?” Danny voiced, twitching his head to look at her before fully registering what she’d asked. “Yeah, I’m okay,” he assured, giving her a brief smile. She didn’t seem convinced though, so he gave her a little more. “I’m just lost in thought, Jazz. Yesterday was… a lot.”

“You mean the part about Raven saying you were probably murdered?” Jason asked, strangely having stayed at the manor that night and stuck around that morning. Cass had ended up starting a hushed conversation that he had adopted these kids as his responsibility since they had shown up closest to his usual patrol grounds, but he wouldn’t comment on it.

“Yeah… Yeah that’s probably the big thing,” Danny agreed with a grimace. Man this guy was blunt. But, also maybe the best one to be commenting about something like this. There were a lot less people around too, maybe it was safe for him to satiate his earlier curiosity. “...I guess out of everyone here you’d … probably understand the most?” Wait, Danielle had said Jason had died before, but she hadn’t said it was murder. “U’unless it was something else that…” Okay this was a lot more awkward than he thought it would be.

“...No, you’re right. I was… murdered,” Jason confirmed, toying with his own cereal for a moment. “But it wasn’t anything crazy magical like you. Just a crowbar and bomb. That and we all know the guy that did it. Piece of shit.”

“Oh…,” Danny responded quietly, thankful that Jazz was decidedly staying quiet and allowing them to converse. “I don’t… Hm… I’m not sure which one I’d prefer honestly,” he admitted with a weak chuckle. “I mean, electrocution is no fun, hurts like a bitch, but… But at least it wasn’t drawn out.”

“...That’s a fair point,” Jason agreed, “I imagine it’s not the part that’s got you so distracted though.”

“...... No… It’s not,” Danny confirmed, lowering his toast as his brows pressed together in smothered guilt. “I…” It was hard to say it aloud, but of anyone he felt like Jason wouldn’t judge him for his thoughts. “S’she said that someone who was there would’ve had to have had the desire to s’sacrifice me or whatever. A’and at the moment I was more angry that she would imply that Clockwork had lied to me, that I - that something had happened that took away my ability to choose. But also… I don’t like what it implies about…”

Jason was quiet as he listened patiently for Danny to voice his thoughts, the words confirming ideas he’d had as well as keying him in on what was bothering Danny. But when he fell quiet before being able to finish voicing his concern Jason filled in what he could guess the worry was. “About who was there with you…?” he half asked, half stated.

Danny flinched when that fact was put in the open, but now that it was it made it easier to add details. “...Sam and Tucker were the only ones there with me.”

“Oh!” Jazz suddenly burst, raising her hands in realization and reaching over to grab Danny, “Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry, we forgot to tell you!”

“What? What!?” Danny sputtered, startled by his sister’s outburst.

“Sam asked Raven about that last night before they left. She was worried that her and Tucker being there could have been seen as them trying to murder you, but Raven said they couldn’t have just been present, they would have had to know about the sacrifice being a payment for the ritual kind of thing and clearly had the intention to kill you,” Jazz rambled quickly. “Sorry! I didn’t think that was what had you so distracted. We were going to tell you last night when you woke up, but you slept through the night.”

Danny had to stare at Jazz in silence while that whirlwind of facts got smashed into his brain. So they had already cleared up that Sam and Tucker hadn’t accidentally murdered him, but forgot to tell him? Well, it was only a few hours later, so maybe he shouldn’t be upset. At least it clarified for certain that his friends hadn’t secretly wanted to kill him. But then it brought him back to the major question that had yet to be answered. “Then who did?!”

That one Jazz didn’t have an answer to, and reluctantly let Danny go to helplessly raise her hands in a shrug. “I don’t know? Maybe no one did? I mean- Mom and Dad couldn’t possibly have accidentally done magic, right?” she attempted with a weak laugh, betraying her own discomfort with the idea that their parents had accidentally done something more dangerous than they’d ever thought.

“No, I think they did,” Danny countered easily, a little miffed.

Jason raised a brow after that, curious what else Danny had realized. “Care to elaborate?” he asked, half because he wanted the answer and half to give Jazz a chance to process what Danny had said.

Danny did not actually want to elaborate, he didn’t want to pull up memories of that afternoon again. But he did realize it was important, and therefore forced himself to answer. “The portal… After drawing that diagram out yesterday, and remembering some things, I realized Raven… might have some merit to what she’s saying,” he admitted, pouting a bit reluctantly since he’d been so ready to discredit her before. “The portal didn’t turn on when I went inside it. It was when I put my-... put my hand on the wall. There was a switch that I knocked, and I realized… it was located at one of the concentration points I drew on the diagram. So I probably completed the circuit by accident, and made it so the stupid ritual thing was complete,” he explained, absently raising his left hand as he recalled the memory.

“...Oh….,” Jason grunted, having not expected that. So this kid’s parents probably really had accidentally mixed science with magic, and Danny had ended up half killed because of it. But despite that, Jason was curious. “Okay… so maybe someone did want to kill you, maybe they actually didn’t. It really sounds like happenstance from what I’ve heard. Does it matter if someone wanted to kill you?” He already knew the answer, but he was curious if Danny would surprise him and actually admit it didn’t matter.

“Of course it matters!” Danny sputtered, bringing a fist to the table. “I want to punch them in the face for ruining my life for the past two years! Do you know how hard it is to get into NASA? I just wanted to be an astronaut and go to space - the literal coolest thing ever to exist - but now my grades are shit and I’m barely passing highschool because of all these ghosts and people think I’m stupid because of it!”

Jason couldn’t help it. After staring at Danny with slightly wide eyes in shock at the outburst, Jason couldn’t help the laugh that escaped him. Though part of it was because Tim had just walked into the dining room and nearly dropped his plate of breakfast and cup of juice after also being startled at Danny’s outburst. Danny was about to get cross with Jason for laughing, but only spared him the lecture when he also noticed Tim there.

“Oh- Sorry- I didn’t mean to startle you,” Danny apologized quickly.

Tim just sighed, grateful only a little of the juice had spilled onto the floor. “It’s fine, just give me your napkin,” he directed, setting his breakfast on the table and reaching out for the requested object. Once he had it, wiping up the spilled juice was a quick task, and he was sinking into the chair next to Danny with another sigh. “You’re not stupid, by the way. If you really need the academic records for the job you want, just test out. I’m sure you’ll be fine, and get flying colors. I can get you a study packet if you want,” he commented casually, taking a large bite out of a sausage.

Not only was the comment unexpected, but it also sounded like a flat out lie from someone who had no idea what it was like to struggle at school. “...Yeah, sure. I’ll get right on that,” Danny scoffed sarcastically, going back to nibble on his toast.

“Danny…,” Jazz hushed gently, sympathetic and immediately ready to comfort him.

“I’m serious,” Tim enforced before she could say more. “Well, I dunno how you are with english or something like that, but you’ve got great math and science aptitude.”

Danny just stared at Tim incredulously, not buying it.

So Tim threw a hand in the air and rolled his eyes. “You just recreated a complex concept schematic from memory within a 90 to 95% accuracy range on the measurements and functions, while high on morphine and fever,” he pointed out. “Also, if you’re any good at being a vigilante like everyone has been implying, you’ve got to have great problem solving skills. And that’s hard to teach.”

Danny was now openly staring in surprise, because he hadn’t realized he’d done anything that Tim said. At least, not when phrased in that manner. It wasn’t like he could discredit Tim’s words either, they had all been there as he’d drawn the schematic. “I…” He should probably say something, but he couldn’t think of a single response other than to stare blankly in surprise at the table in front of him.

It caused Tim to sigh again, slumping into his hand and rubbing his brow. “Honestly, if there’s anything you’re dumb in it’s self awareness. I’d switch out a dozen of the interns in engineering for you in a heartbeat.”

Okay, so maybe Tim wasn’t actually pulling his leg, or trying to prank him. If Danny’s cheeks weren’t already red from illness they would definitely be from embarrassment as he shyly sank down in his chair.

Jason laughing that hard wasn’t helping either.

_________________

Okay I'm gonna fully admit this chapter was unplanned and full of stuff I actually didn't think I'd get to include 'cause I just could not figure out how to naturally include them in conversation in the previous chapter or any future scenes I could think of at the moment. But then I started working on this next chapter and within the first paragraph was like '......oh..... oh it all fits rather nicely right here actually. |DDD'

So that was fun XD

And then this took awhile to actually post because I hyper fixated and wrote about 11,000 words for this fic of just scattered, disconnected scenes for future chapters all the way to about the end @ v @ I'm excited.

In other topics, I had a request/question if Conner Kent would show up, and I wouldn't mind giving him a cameo, but I am very confused about what his personality is like. 8'DD Can someone info dump on me about him and his relationship with other characters? There's one that had a black t shirt with the superman symbol and he's like this angsty angry guy that I honestly don't find all that interesting and would be hard to write. But then there's this flashy leather jacket flirty boy with a different flavor of angst and fun that I find a little more interesting. But I'm curious what the DPxDC fandom seems to favor more. Are Conner and Clark dad and son relationship? Does Conner get along with Jon? He's friends with Bart, Tim and Cassie yeah? Feel free to link me to google docs, or recommend movies or comics to me |D This boy is a little harder for me to figure out than the other characters.

aww, thanks dear anon! i'm glad that you love the series, i love this series too. plus, this request is so cute omg mikey deserves a happy ending like this ngl :( enjoy reading ♡

"mama! papa! ji-chan's here!"

"satomi! touma! no running on the stairs!"

years had passed since you and mikey became boyfriend and girlfriend, but as soon as you both graduated and fulfilled your dream jobs, it didn't take long for you two to tie the knot and start a family of your own. gojo was delighted for you; not only had he fulfilled toji's promise to look after you, but you were now an adult. you had grown into a strong and beautiful woman, and it made him happy to see you happy with your very own café and mikey. however, you leaving the nest was still difficult for him, especially since you now have children on your own.

it was a sunny afternoon, and you were making lunch in the kitchen, chopping garlic and lemon while sizzling up some steak with your chaos magic, when you heard a knock at the door. you immediately left and dashed towards the living room to make sure your twins didn't trip or anything as they dashed from the second floor, and you were relieved to see them unharmed as they excitedly opened the door with your husband.

"tomi! touma!"

as soon as the door swung open, gojo scooped up the [color]-haired girl and raven-haired boy in his arms, nuzzling each of their faces with his nose, causing them to giggle.

he absolutely loved the twins, satomi and touma. in fact, gojo can't help but spoil them as much as he did you when you were a baby! the twins could say the same about their grandpa. satomi and touma were always excited to see gojo. they would constantly ask when he was visiting or how he was, apart from them asking about curses, delinquent and chaos magic stuff.

you joined mikey who draped an arm around your waist lovingly as the two of you watched the twins fond over their beloved grandpa.

"how are my favorite kids, huh?" gojo asked, plopping them down and ruffling their hair. "god, look at you two! you two have grown so much!" he said softly. "you two better not be troubling your mom and dad."

"nuh-uh, we helped mama and papa!" satomi exclaimed, placing both her hands on her hips proudly.

"we helped folding the clothes earlier, and tomi and i helped sweep the floor too!" touma nodded in agreement with his sister before adding.

"that's good to hear. since you two have been good, I brought some kikufuku mochi from sendai! ta-dah!" gojo pulled out a paperbag, showing your twins the sweets he bought, making them jump up and down with delight.

"dad! don't feed tomi and touma mochi, we haven't had lunch yet," you sighed as you watched gojo hand each of them a mochi to eat. "you spoil my babies too much! you fed them red velvet brownies before supper the last time you were here."

"oh, come on! just for today," gojo shrugged before sauntering over to you and mikey and engulfing you both in his embrace. "how are you two doing? it's been a while," he asked, patting your backs before kissing the top of your head, prompting you to smile and giggle.

"we've been well, thank you, father." mikey returned gojo's smile as you and him pulled away.

"i was making lunch when you arrived," you explained briefly, smiling as you folded your arms across your chest. "on that note, i need to get back to the kitchen; i'll be right back!"

"mama! touma-nii and I will help!" satomi followed you, her twin brother close behind.

"alright, alright! you two bring the mochi ji-chan gave you two to the fridge. no more eating, okay?" you gently reprimanded your children, who nodded in understanding. "okay, mama!"

"good, you two can help mama set up the dining table," you smiled as they trailed after you in the kitchen to get the eating utensils to set at the dining room.

with that, you returned to your cooking. mikey was then left in the living room with gojo. your husband immediately offered gojo a seat, which he accepted, and as soon as he sat, he couldn't help but sigh.

"but i still can't believe you did such things to my daughter."

gojo's face took on a funny pouty expression as he stared at mikey, who sweatdropped and stifled a nervous fit of laughter in response. "haha.."

"but that's okay. kikufuku isn't a baby anymore. she's a grown-woman. as long as [name] is happy, then I'm happy too," gojo said, shaking his head, his face deepening into a genuine smile. "i'm sorry if i was strict on you in the past, mikey, because you know, you were a literal delinquent; the leader of toman and all back in the day."

"it's all good, really. it must have been difficult raising [name] all on your own, knowing she's the scarlet witch. you were just looking after her and i admire you a lot for that, father." mikey took a seat next to gojo, who draped an arm around his shoulder, "my promise to her still remains the same. i will always love and protect your daughter, as well as what we've built together. i still am and will always be grateful that you gave me the chance with [name]."

"i know, i know." gojo stifled a small fit of laughter, "i trust you, mikey. thank you too."

"mama! papa and ji-chan are being emotional together again!" touma yelled from the dining room, causing gojo and mikey to lift their heads to see a black-haired boy and [color]-haired girl giggling mischievously from the open door frame.

"touma! tomi! leave your papa and ji-chan be!" you laughed from the kitchen as you twitched and interlocked your fingers to plate the food with your chaos magic.

"you little rascals, come here!"

gojo jumped up from the sofa and ran after satomi and touma, who let out a shriek before scrambling back into the dining room, laughing.

"run, tomi! run!" touma took hold of his twin sister as they dashed off. "ji-chan's on our tail!"

"right after you touma-nii!" satomi giggled.

everything was livelier in the sano household whenever gojo came to visit you and your family. satomi and touma were especially clingy and playful around their grandfather, and you couldn't help but smile as you intertwined your hands with mikey. seeing satomi and touma with gojo reminded you a lot of your younger self in his presence. your dad had always had a soft spot for children, which is why he remained a teacher at jujutsu tech even though he could be the principal of the tokyo school at this point.

"dad, tomi, touma! that's quite enough, let's eat lunch together. the food will get cold!"

"okay, mama! we'll stop!"

"yipee! mama made steak!"

(fun fact: the name satomi came from satoru and mikey. as for touma, it's kind of a reference for toman whilest also coming from -to and -man of toji and mikey's real name; manjiro.)

[witch-hazels-musings]

I WOKE UP JUST IN TIME AAAAA

Can I request the tall boys (Childe, Zhongli, Diluc, Kaeya + anyone else you think you wanna add or change (except maybe Childe because I love him)) reacting to you having animal-like features (like ears and tail)

Or

What they would do if by some accident they themselves end up getting animal features (like fox ears and tail for Childe, cat ears and tail for Kaeya or Diluc, dragon features for Zhongli, etc) do they become clingy and display cat behavior of rubbing themselves on you? Something like that aaaa I'm so sorry if this doesn't make sense it's my first time requesting

experiments gone wrong

(eehe these men *cough* zhongli *cough* will be the death of me) 

Warning -> sfw, fluff (kissing, character suddenly acquiring animal like features) 

Character X GN Reader | anthology 

Includes: Childe, Kaeya, Zhongli 

As an alchemist, you really should have remembered the most important rule -> don’t leave unmarked bottles out where people can drink them …

So you couldn’t be too surprised by the turn of events that followed

Childe 

He went to bed earlier than normal, but you didn’t think anything of it. Perhaps he had a terrible day and just wanted to sleep it off, there wasn’t any reason to pester him about it anyway. 

The next morning, you felt him slip out of bed, a yawn falling from his mouth as he made his way toward the bathroom. Turning, you claimed more of the bed and attempted to sleep just a little bit longer. That was until you heard a wild cry and shot up in an instant. You were already partially out of the bed when Childe burst into the room. 

He looked at you, you looked at him, and as your eyes drifted from his ears to his tail, you understood his reaction. 

“WHAT?” He shouted into the bedroom. 

Oh archons, to see him like this … you wished it was easier for you not to think about how adorable he was, but it was impossible. The soft ears that peeked from underneath his hair, the fluffy tail that didn’t know how to stop moving, and the frantic face he gave you were all just perfect 

“What happened??” He asked, running back to the mirror before returning his attention to you. Quickly, you made your way to his aid and did your best to calm him.

“I’m not sure, did you do anything strange yesterday?” You pulled his face toward you, cupping your hands against his cheek and running your fingers through his hair. 

“Not that I know of … uh, oh! I found this …” He reached for a small bottle on the bathroom counter and handed it to you. Shit.

“Did you drink this??”

“ … yes.” 

“CHILDE!” You burst into laughter, knowing it wasn’t the right time but also unable to control yourself. His expression was distressed and worried and, as best as you could, you tried to bring yourself back to calm. “This wasn’t supposed to be consumed …” 

“A-am I going to die?” 

“No, you’re just going to be, well, this it seems.” 

“How long??” 

“I don’t know, a few days maybe.” He dropped his head into his hands, his ears drooped and his active tail dropped toward the ground. Wrapping him in your arms, you offered him reassurance while trying not to laugh. “You’re very cute though.” 

You caught sight of his tail moving slowly back and forth and added more pressure to your hug. 

He found that it wasn’t as bad as he thought, in addition to the extra features, he also was able to gain other advantages - his eyesight was much better in the dark, his sense of smell more keen, his agility top notch 

You were sure he had grown attached to them in the short time he had them - so when the option came for him to revert, you were sure it would be a tough decision 

Still - to keep him trapped like this, with features that weren’t his own - you didn’t want to be cruel 

“Here,” You put the bottle down in front of him. His ears perking up at the item and his fingers reaching to grab it. “All you have to do is drink that and everything should go back to normal.” You said with a slightly wistful tone to your voice. It was somehow sad to think these adorable additions leave would be gone soon. 

“What if it doesn’t work?” 

“I’m not sure. We will just try again if it doesn’t though.” Quickly, he took the cork from the lid and moved the vial to his lips. His ear twitched as he smelled the concoction. “I’ll miss this.” Resting your head in your hands you watched as he downed the liquid in one go. 

“It’s hard for people to take me seriously like this …”

“Did people take you seriously before?” You joked, winking at him. 

The next morning, he stirred in bed next to you, his hair brushing against your face and making you wake up before you wanted to. As your eyes adjusted, you instantly recognized what you thought was hair was actually ears and the giddiness of your heart jump-started you awake. It didn’t work -- oh no, guess you’d have to keep trying. 

Kaeya��

Waking up next to Kaeya was your favorite thing. It was an opportunity for you to be close to him, to witness his relaxed expression, and know that in these moments he trusted you over anyone else. 

So, when you woke and found him pressed against you, your hands absentmindedly began to run through his hair, over his shoulders, as you meandered your way into the waking world. There was something soft that flicked against your hand, but you pushed it away. It happened again, confused, mouth turning into a scowl and eyes rudely being pried open, you looked down to see what was making you irritated. 

You were wide awake when you saw the cat ears sticking out from Kaeya’s blue hair. They were richly shaded, deep blues with tips of white and perfectly placed on his head. Shifting, you tried to get a better view and the action made him stir. 

“Mmm, stop moving.” He mumbled, wrapping his arms around you and holding you steady. Tapping his arm, you tried to get his attention. 

“K-Kaeya …” 

“What is it?” 

“Do you feel okay?” You asked, your voice shaking and hands hovering over his ears. 

“I feel perfectly fine, why do you ask?” He kissed your chest before nuzzling back into his place. 

“You … you’ve got cat ears.”

He laughed and pushed your comment away. His legs moved under the sheets and you swore you saw something poke out from the bed. “You’re pulling my leg, I didn’t know you could be this funny so early in the morning.” 

“I’m not, see.” Stealing his hand you placed it on his head and watched as his fingers ran over the ears which were sticking straight up. When his eyes shot open and his hand began to move faster, pulling, tugging, examining the feature, you tried not to laugh as his confused expression turned into a slight panic. He shot up, his legs moving so he could sit on the bed but winced when he did so. That’s when the both of you saw the tail. 

“Hold on, let me get ready, just … don’t freak out.” 

You rushed around the room to gather up your items, your gaze continuously falling on the incredibly still, unmoving frame that was Kaeya. 

After calling on Albedo to come and offer assistance, only to find that the features would be around for a few days … Kaeya started to get more accustomed to them 

He was for sure rattled but bounced back rather quickly - in fact, the features seemed to get him even more attention than he had before and he found that the added bonuses were helpful when he needed them for his knightly tasks 

Not to mention it seemed he was more affectionate than normal, and not in the way he normally was, it was more in a … cuddly, interested, curious manner 

One evening, you found yourself reading over several books that Albedo had recommended and became rudely distracted when Kaeya pushed his way under your arms and nestled into your lap

“Hey there.” You called down to him, hand dropping to his shoulder as he nuzzled against you. 

“Give me attention.” 

You laughed at his pouting expression, his lips turned downward and ears twisting to show he could be trusted. “I’m currently trying to figure out how to fix this, I can’t do that if I’m giving you all my attention.” His eye squinted for just a moment before he moved more into your lap and nearly pushed the book in your hands onto the floor. “Kaeya!” The playful laughter that filled his ears was as tantalizing as the drinks he let touch his lips. 

“You can figure that out later. How can you possibly resist me right now anyway?” He asked, pushing against you until your back pressed into the couch and his hands weaved their way around your body. His hair tickled your face as he nuzzled into your chest and, even though his hips dug into yours, you didn’t seem to mind the closeness he was trying to find. 

“Okay. Fine, I’ll look into it more later.” 

“What excellent news.” He practically purred as he slid his way to your neck and let his body rest against you.

 Zhongli 

It’s been so long since he saw himself with such features - and, to be honest, he didn’t notice them for some time. It wasn’t until you returned and the items in your hands fell to the floor upon seeing him that his attention was captured

“Zh - Zhongli!?” You babbled, making your way to him and not knowing what to rest your eyes on first. Was it the pair of elegantly shaped horns that sprouted between his brown locks of hair? Was it the golden slits in his eyes that reminded you of the reptiles roaming around the rocky paths of Liyue? Or did you look at the scales that decorated his face in such perfect placement? 

“Has something transpired?” His expression was one of concern, but also one of disillusionment. Did - did he not notice? 

“Are you feeling nostalgic today?” 

“Not particularly, what makes you ask?” 

“Well … you look kinda like … I mean hold on.” You quickly disappeared down the hallway before returning with a small handheld mirror, one that Zhongli had purchased for you some time ago. Handing it to him, you waited until it started to register on his face the changes to his appearance, and that’s when you noticed the long claws which jutted out from his nail beds.  

“Huh, this is peculiar …” 

Sitting down across from him, you placed your hands on the table and watched as he examined the reflection of his face. “So you didn’t do this?”

“I must say that I did not, though It is rather pleasant to see …” His voice trailed off and you watched as he fussed with his hair, touched the horns on his head, and opened his mouth to check and see if - yup, he had canines much like a dragon too. That’s when it hit you. 

“Did you … drink anything strange?” 

The mirror found its place upside down on the table, his glowing eyes shifted to you as he took in your question. You let him think and finally, he gave you his answer. “I do recall there was a strange vial on the counter when I awoke. Ah - my dear, are you unwell?” He asked as your head dropped onto the table. 

The strangest thing about Zhongli holding these features was that he seemed … perfect for them and it was becoming quite the problem to hide

You were much too cautious that someone may discover who he really was with these pretty telling additions to his wardrobe, so you asked him to stay home for a while until you could get some answers

He didn’t seem to mind, and when you were finally able to gather up all the items needed to prepare an antidote for his condition, you were finding it very distracting to make the concoction at home 

The bubbling liquid warned you it was much too hot and so, with adept fingers, you turned the nobs and burners down so as to not overheat or scald the liquid inside. The aroma that filled your nose was … unpleasant to say the least, and so you finally succumbed to the need to wrap your nose in a clean cloth. 

Turning your back to the equipment, you made your way toward the drawer where the rags were kept but when your eyes caught sight of Zhongli standing by the window, you nearly fainted. 

He was wearing a robe, the material had slid down one of his arms and rested in the crook of his elbow. It gave you pause and allowed you to see the toned torso which was normally hidden by the layers of clothing he wore on a regular day. 

Since he found no need to properly get dressed, he had reserved himself to lounge about in clothes that felt ‘more suitable’ to him, as he explained. 

The light from the sun flashed across his chest, laid softly against his face, and illuminated the golden speckles in his hair - you wondered if it was because of the horns, perhaps they were reflecting the light and making him look ethereal in the warmth of the sun. He crossed his arms and shifted his weight as he looked beyond the window, almost as if he was yearning for something far beyond his reach. 

“I think I’m nearly done.” You explain, tying the towel around your face and returning, reluctantly, to the concoction behind you. 

As you began to spoon out the unnecessary ingredients until you were only left with the pure grade potion, you didn’t notice how he had moved to your side until the small vial was filled. 

“Here you -- oh!.” He stood right in front of you. His eyes were dangerous, burning, focused. “I didn’t see … you …” He reached around to the back of your head and skillfully undid the makeshift mask you had created moments ago. When it was off, he took the vial in his hands and placed it onto the counter before returning his attention to you. “Are you … okay?” You asked, tracking the movements of his face as he leaned down toward you. 

His lips hovered barely over yours and the closeness of him made your heart flutter. “You are mine, are you not?” His voice rattled your bones from the intensity, it was oppressive and supportive all at the same time. 

“Y-yes?” 

His lips pressed against the corner of your mouth, “You belong to no one else?” 

“No …”

“Good.” 

It’s a good thing the instructions never said anything about, ‘consume immediately’ because you were very distracted for some time.

This is stupid idea came in after getting my ass tunneled by a legion, but what if frank’s ex or first love someone that “got away” became a survivor ?

I love that idea! Thank you for the request! And AAAA Okay I rlly loved the way I wrote this and omddgdggdhd I might actually make this a mini series and rewrite this but ashsgsgsg

The One That Got Away

(Part one find part two here)

Frank had heard the rumors about a new survivor, but he didn’t pay much attention to them. All survivors meant to him was more prey. More pests he had to chase after and exterminate.

Not that he really minded, of course. It was something he enjoyed. Something that got him high from all the power. An outlet for him to take out all of his pent up rage and anger. So, this new survivor shouldn’t be any different to him.

That is, until he sees who it is.

It was just another trial and things are going well. Frank has two survivors hooked, and is on his way chasing after the third. But then he completely stopped when he saw you, rescuing both survivors just before they could reach second hook.

It couldn’t be. You were too beautiful, too kind, too perfect to be in a place like this. He took a step closer, watching, getting a better look. It was you. You.

He felt his heart slam against his chest, his head throbbing from his disappearing adrenaline rush of the chase.

You, who he had known since he was ten years old. You, who hopped from foster home to foster home with him for years. You, who refused to leave his side, acting out when any parents wanted to adopt you. You, who could calm him down when he lashed out in anger. You, who would watch horror movies and killer documentaries with him, despite being terrified and hating them, ending up nuzzling your face into his shoulder. You, who was always wanted by other families and random boys that came up to you and asked you out. You, who chose him despite all the others, and fell in love with him. You, who eventually had to leave him when you were seventeen, and he had never gotten over it since. It was always you.

Frank thought he was numb to it by now. Thought he was over the pain of you abandoning him. Thought he had moved on and found someone so much better. Someone who was like him. Someone who he deserved.

But seeing you in front of him now, being so close yet so far, made all the emotions come fleeting back. Anger, betrayal, sadness, happiness, fondness, everything.

And the next thing he knew, his feet were moving for him, making him take off into a sprint. You and the others had already started running, but he didn’t care. He didn’t care about this stupid trial anymore or the other survivors. When he saw you, everything changed, and his mind was solely set on you.

He wanted to catch you. He wanted to make you hurt, just like you hurt him when you left. He wanted to hold you. He was so conflicted, so confused, but he couldn’t stop himself.

Nothing you could do would keep him away. Drop a pallet? He’d just slide over it. Vault a window? He’d jump through after you. He was persistent and he didn’t stop until he caught you.

And he did, straddling you and pinning you to the ground underneath him. You’re squirming and trembling under him, trying to escape, but it’s no use. He’s too strong and you understand that.

Do you even recognize him? He’s gotten bigger, stronger, and colder. You’ve grown even more beautiful, and he doubted that could ever be possible. But here you were, and despite being banged up by this place, you looked as beautiful as ever. Hell, your skin looked like it was glowing, so soft and smooth, round doe (e/c) eyes staring up at him with such fear and terror.

You flinch when he cups your cheek, stroking it softly and you tried not to gag at the scent of blood that hovered from his hands.

Wait- Shit- what was he doing?

He pulls his hand away quickly, grabbing his hood and and shoving it over his face. “Fuck, stop that.”

He mutters to himself, stabbing the knife into the ground next to you. You jump, but look up at him in a much different way, curious, conflicted, and scared, but a different type of scared, recognizing the familiar habit he had of messing with his hood.

You shake your head, a small mumble that he heard as clear as day falling from your lips. “Frank?”

Hi! Can I request platonic hcs of the Moriarty Bros interacting with a student of William's who got caught up in the whole "crime lord" thing and ended up joining their crew? I think it'd be neat. Thank you in advance!

A/n: aaaa this is my first moriarty the patriot story so I hope that it’s to your liking! Also i noticed that you didn’t exactly specify a gender for the student and considering he teaches in a private all male’s academy ion know imma use the rules of fiction and use a gender neutral reader/student anyways enjoy!

pairing: moriarty brothers with a platonic g/n student

word count:

 Headcanons: 

you were an insider

just like Fred your jobs consist of going undercover and gathering information

Just like any other student in the academy William taught at you had quite the status, a socialite from a well known family 

Coming from a family with a rather big name and that sort of status held its benefits which means you had access to information about various inside affairs and business 

and since you come from a respectable family that made you quite the spy because nobody would really suspect that the “kind (l/n) family heir would do such a thing” 

at first you had ended up becoming an unofficial member after Lucian’s case and continued to be the Moriarty’s eyes and ears 

but after an incident with another rival business that ended with your family dead, William generously offered his services of revenge 

after all that's transpired you ended up as a member to the moriarty crew

A real valued member at that

To say the Moriarty brothers are fond of you would be an understatement cause they treat you like a younger brother/sister

With Albert

Now Albert has always been a family man 

He loves his brothers a lot and dotes on them from time to time but more often than not he feels a bit dejected now that his brothers are now so grown up 

and when the addition of you joining the crew he was delighted to see a fresh face

There isn’t really much of an age gap between him and his brothers because they were around his age when they met but with you oh boy 

10 year age gap lezzgeddit 

He’ll use this as an opportunity to spoil you to make up for not being able to do that to William and Louis

He’d send you post cards, gifts and little trinkets

He regrets that he has to work in an office 

Albert loves it when you ramble about anything

It makes him feel soft that you trust him with your thoughts and even secrets

With William

Ever since the gang took you in and you moved out of the dorms expect to get culture shocked 

William at home and William in school are two different people 

There's this strict rule of separating school life and home life mostly because he wants to keep it professional

will occasionally join you for lunch doe 

It also feels weird not calling him Professor at home

Tutors you loads and sometimes laughs at your misery and failed attempts in answering math problems

He’s also really quite good in teaching other subjects like science, english, history and etc. 

kinda feels unreal 

finds it funny when you rant about school too and sometimes he’d give his two cents on some teachers or other students you find annoying

With Louis

He’s soft that he has a new younger sibling around

Boy is so used to being the youngest but now he has a younger sib around cue shocked Pikachu face

He’d spoil you the most out of all the brothers

Bakes you extra cookies cause why not

tries not to be obvious about it 

He’d ask you how school is going all the time even though he could literally ask William

He knows he isn’t much compared to his brothers but it warms his heart whenever you both hangout

He also is the best listener and secret keeper in the household so you’d go to him to rant all the time 

He’d get worried when you get assigned to do missions and would ask if you’d like him to accompany you 

Thinks you joining the team is a blessing 

[merakiui]

Is it simping for Black Butler character time? because DAMM Sebastian be looking SO good! and ciel is baby he's my son, look how older he looks now! My boys all grown up😭

Aaaa yess!! The baby boy is growing up!!! :D and of course Sebastian looks wonderful as always! Although he looks so much more babygirl now. It’s very cute! >0< it’s been so long since I’ve picked up Black Butler, so I should rewatch/reread it! A friend and I used to be so obsessed with it when we were younger, so it’s exciting to know we will be getting a new season!!!

[minkmousesworld]

You're welcome! You deserve more love and recognition please! I love your writing so much especially lovely raccoon dog Tanjirou! <333

No worries, for hiding your content! Sometimes there is times where we feel like it's not good enough or anything :(( but I hope you know, that I, lurking around here. hehe~ I will always love everything you write! <3

Aw yes, Lovely kitsune reader and raccoon dog Tanjirou. It's the quest of love and Tanjirou proving he's grown up now and will be best husband!! He will return and make sure the temple is well fine and soon, who knows, a litter of pups soon! (If I'm not wrong, isn't there tanuki's considered like kitsunes. Yokai's? ) Aaaa- I'm rambling so much. Just know I love your work so much and I can't wait for content for lovely fox reader and our best boy Tanjirou!

AWWWWWWW <3333

Yes, he's such a cutie♡ Sometimes I just want to pick him up and bite his cheeks, but then write about how he begs for puppies. Breedable raccoon dog <3

Thank you very much;;; I really missed knowing that there are people who love what I write hehehe, it makes me very happy <33333 I am sometimes very oblivious and repelled by the thought that there is someone besides me who is waiting for my stories haaaa </3

Yes!!! You think he will come back with someone and ask for your blessing for the marriage, but he comes back even more confident in his desire to stay with you for the rest of his days and give birth to puppies for you♡

He has seen many things and families, lived many moments and thought over everything that happened in your relationship, so since you waited for him and are still single, he is ready for puppies and no one can complain that you, being the owner of the forest, married some unknown raccoon dog, because now he is known in almost all forests and even among other owners.

Even if you make him a spirit/tanuki, everyone will agree with this decision, since "there should be more spirits like Tanjirou!".

Eventually, you will find yourself in an even more obvious situation with the need to marry him than it was before you sent him away </3 because now he's back and confident that it was some kind of test and he passed it. you wouldn't just send him away, would you?

Now — marry him!

I like to read your words, don't worry. you are very cute <3

Thank you <333 I will definitely write more for them after such words♡

Thoughts on WandaVision as I’m watching...

BEWARE OF SPOILERS, if you haven’t seen it yet, don’t read any of this, ok?

First episode: Paul and Elizabeth have such good comedy timing together, and lots of chemistry. I wish we could’ve seen so much more of them in the Avengers movies but I’m also glad we got the series.

Wanda and Vision being confused on what they’re doing, where they come from, when’s their anniversary makes you wonder in a magnificent way without giving right away the answers and that’s nice. It makes you think: was this Wanda? Was it someone else?

Wanda’s comment about Vision’s indestructible head and me chuckling at the moment she said it because ARE YOU SURE, HONEY?

It hurts a lil bit, let’s keep watching.

Second episode: Wanda telling Vision how this is their home now and she wants to fit in. Well shit.

It’s the second time I see ads, in the first episode it was a Stark Industries toaster. Now, it’s a Hydra watch... huh.

Everything being black and white except for the toy helicopter (red and yellow) and the blood stain (red) in Dottie’s hand.

Geraldine knowing her name when she shook Wanda’s hand.

Shit, so many questions so far and I haven’t finished watching the episode yet.

OK, OK, HOLD ON. I WAS STARTING TO FEEL THAT “FOR THE CHILDREN” WAS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT BECAUSE REPETITION AND THEN WANDA APPEARS PREGNANT. THE FUCK IS HAPPENING HERE.

Who in hell is that beekeeper and why everything just rewinded and turned back into color after he appeared? AAAAAA.

The voice asking Wanda who’s doing this to her, shit.

Third episode: Let’s carry on, I need answers.

Not only the intro changed but also they changed decades. Everyone’s hair is styled differently, the clothing is and that song: “All great expectations lead to complications”... you’re gonna screw everyone over, ain’t ya?

“I can’t wait to be a proud papa-ya...” oh Vision.

Wanda losing control over her powers because of the pregnancy, oh well darling, here we go... 

Now Wanda wondering if their neighbors can tell who they really are and Vision starts to doubt it as well and it gets rewinded... darling, this is staged for sure. Everytime THEY are the ones about to figure it out something happens.

And Hydra has a soap commercial, why am I not surprised? They’re like roaches, get underneath everything.

The doctor’s comment about small towns being hard to escape says it all by itself.

WANDA HAVING TWINS AND REMEMBERING PIETRO. MY HEART HURTS.

Geraldine knowing Pietro was killed by Ultron, now that’s interesting. Her being new in town, having no home, having the symbol of whoever’s watching on Wanda and Vision. Inte-fucking-resting. Then her having to rush home aka being thrown out of the simulation.

Fourth episode: It starts off with the people coming back to life from the snap... shit, shiT, SHIT.

Oh so it was S.W.O.R.D watching over Wanda all along.

FUUUUCK, I JUST REMEMBERED CAPTAIN MARVEL WAS A THING AND MARIA RAMBEAU WAS CAROL’S FRIEND AND HER BABY GIRL WAS MONICA. OMB. AAAAA how I love it when everything starts to tie up.

Darcy Lewis, YAAAS.

S.W.O.R.D, the FBI and special forces from all corners investigating upon this little unexistent town that Wanda Maximoff created in order to overcome her grief from having lost everyone she loved. Yaay, we love us Marvel destroying us emotionally. Thank you. Fifth episode: “She’s gone, she didn’t belong here” HOLD ON, YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY SAID SHE HAD TO RUSH HOME.

Wanda not being able to control her babies with her powers is kinda weird. Need to know more about that.

Agnes breaking character and asking Wanda if they should start from the top definitely asks for suspicion. Vision being able to tell immediately this is weird it’s the weirdest of all because Vision is supposed to be dead, and Wanda remembered he was dead last episode, so how is HE able to tell this is all made up?

THE TWINS ALL GROWN UP ARE SUCH CUTIES.

Wanda stealing Vision’s body is not the question in here, the question is why did S.W.O.R.D have it of all people? Was that in the Sokovian accords, if Vision died his body went to them? That’s not normal, especially not because Tony came back, he would’ve taken care of Vision and not in that way.

OK, NOW I THINK I KNOW WHAT THE ADS MEAN. The toaster of Stark Industries was because a Stark missile burnt down Wanda’s home. The watch of Hydra was because for a great amount of time, Hydra controlled her a Pietro. The Lagos add of the paper towels speaks of how there is a mess and you need something to clean it up. Lagos was the place where Wanda accidentally killed people while she tried to stop Rumlow. SHIT, SHIT. All of the ads are past events of her life.

“You can fix anything, mom. Fix the dead.” BOY, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANNA GO THERE?

Now, Wanda can control everyone but her sons and Vision... that’s something definitely of interest.

MY BOY EVAN SHOWING UP. AAAA. I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since they got back the X-Men, my heart. My heart is happy.

Now, since Wanda is definitely warping reality, I do think this is the start of the multiverse. This is definitely Pietro. Not a recasting, this was her not fully controlling her powers and creating this.

Sixth episode: To start off, Vision is not actually Vision, or if he is, he can’t remember a thing. Probably that has something to do with Wanda bringing him back to life but she even erased the Avengers from his memory. She got rid of everything.

Pietro being completely aware of his role in this reality and why she called him, and then Wanda remembering he is also dead. Now I’m confused because I do think he has something to do with breaching realities but I’m not sure. lol

The people standing near Ellis Avenue being frozen and them being out of reach of Wanda’s circle making them stop all they’re doing. That’s insane.

Now, the twins having Pietro’s and Wanda’s powers. Billy being fully connected to Vision knowing he needs help. Then Wanda stopping time and being able to extend her reality in order to save Vision. This was not only visually incredible but hell, the display of Wanda’s powers grow more and more each day. This is gonna be insane.
