Ali is a completely normal bat who probably doesn't even like the taste of blood that much (not that she's tried or anything, of course!)

OC Kiss Week 2025 - Upon My Return

Day 4 - Reunion (1465 words)

Mel stares at the familiar spaceship as his small shuttle approaches it, sputtering. It won't be long til he discards the metal hunk o' trash in favour of the lavish halls and rooms of his old home. He's far too excited, more so than he thought he would be. He doesn't feel like it's showing on his face, but he catches Ali watching him with a knowing smile. Caught staring, her mouth widens into a grin.

She's probably thinking of something else...

The something that Mel hasn't dared to think about his entire way back. More than missing the ship itself, Mel has missed the people on it. His mentors, friends, family. The thought of seeing his old teammates, Kunaala and Ganti, makes him jittery and anxious. He must never admit to them how much he missed them, lest he forever face their teasing thereafter. Especially since—

"I don't know if you think not asking makes you seem chill, or what," Ali smugly pulls him from his thoughts, standing at the door leading to the control cabin, "but Jai had safely landed back two hours ago. He's already on board."

Mel nods at the information, but doesn't reply or react in any way. Ali raises an eyebrow at him, then retreats to the cockpit. Mel waits another second before he releases his breath, and with it his entire body shudders with anticipation. He feels his face heat up, his hands shake. He doubles over his lap with his hands hiding his face before a grin splits it open and he hopes with all his might that Ali didn't sneak back to catch him behaving like this. Not that he minds his cool guy persona being busted, but he'd never live it down. Not from the others, and not from Jai himself.

Mel sighs into his hands. He'll see him again soon. Deep inhale. Soon. Exhale. He's so close. Inhale. Only an hour away.

Two hours and forty six minutes later, Mel is sitting at a table in the lower meeting room, with no meeting taking place, and waiting for some random secretary to bring over some random papers that he needs to be given. Laura, who had greeted him at the entrance to the ship, explained who to wait for and what they'll bring him, but he stopped listening to explanations an hour ago.

He hasn't managed to see any of his friends yet. He'd passed by Kunaala earlier, and she barely managed to ruffle his hair before they both got whisked into different directions, with her yelling after him about dinner with everyone. The thought of a get-together party is the last hope keeping him sane in this stupid half-darkened room with an oversized table that most of the time isn't even a quarter full. He's antsy. Between anticipation anxiety and exhaustion from the trip, keeping him here is torture. Laura apologises later, when she returns with her companion and hands him his documents, but they don't even give him his phone back so he's pretty irked by the time they let him go.

It's already evening when he finally makes it to his old quarters. They've been cleaned and kept up while he was away, but untouched otherwise. Old clothes he'd left behind are still in the wardrobe, some knick knacks on shelves or in drawers. It's still very much his room, and he sighs in relief, some of his fears dissipating into the air.

Now all that's left is dinner. Before he entered his quarters, Kunaala's messenger had reached him and passed the information on what quadrant they're meeting in and the expected time. He doesn't dress up for the event, but he takes his time in and out of the shower, cleans up nicely and sprays a smidge of cologne. It's Jai's favourite, after all.

When he's ready, he stares at himself in the mirror for a moment, and nods in understanding: he's so going to sweat through his fresh clothes.

Ganti is waiting outside his door when he comes out. Leaning against the frame on the side, he greets Mel with his iconic smirk. "Looks who's finally come home," he says, mirroring Kunaala in ruffling Mel' hair. Those two really are a pair. "We missed you, li'l guy."

It would be endearing if Mel didn't know that Ganti was just making fun of his height. He scoffs and gently pokes Ganti in the ribs. "Shame I didn't miss you, then. This would be such a happy reunion otherwise."

Ganti gives a slow, deep chuckle before pulling Mel into a tight hug. He does it so fast that Mel can't even playfully protest, he just grunts before returning the hug just as fiercely.

"It's good to be all back together," Ganti murmurs above his head. Mel couldn't agree more.

Along the way to the designated cafeteria, Ganti catches him up to what events Mel had missed in his three years away. He doesn't cover everything, and not in great detail, but Mel still appreciates the basic rundown of the things Laura had skipped or glossed over during her own recap.

Ganti notably avoids any mention of Jai, and Mel is wrestling with himself to ask. It's unreasonable to expect Ganti to know everything, especially considering Jai himself had returned just before Mel did. If his reception had been half of what Mel had gone through, Jai likely didn't get to talk to the others yet, either.

"Ah," Ganti suddenly says beside him. "Your cue."

Mel looks at him in confusion, but Ganti is looking ahead, so Mel follows his gaze forward, until his eyes fall on Jai.

He's... as beautiful as Mel remembers. His hair has been cut shorter than before, and he's sporting some leather jacket that he never used to wear before. He's very obviously tired, between his quest and the journey back, there's no way he wouldn't be. But he looks good, and he's back, and he's standing right there and before Mel even processes that Jai is in the middle of something, his legs move on their own and take him to his friend, partner, boyfriend.

He's walking so fast that he gathers attention, but right now he couldn't care less. Just ten more steps, eight, five... The people Jai is talking to notice him first, and seeing their amused expressions, Jai turns around to see what's going on.

He turns in time for Mel' arms to come around him perfectly, and to Mel' infinite relief he doesn't waste a second to return the embrace. Mel is half-aware people are staring at them, but fuck them. He hasn't seen Jai in three entire years, he's not letting him go for at least another three now.

"Welcome home," he says to him, and thank Eve he does it quietly, because he practically croaks it.

Jai pulls away just enough for them to meet face to face, and gives him a gentle smile. "Thank you," he says with such emotion that Mel tears up just hearing it, "you too."

He leans forward until their lips meet. It's chaste, gentle, but so full of love that Mel' knees almost buckle the same way as they would if the kiss had instead been heated and full of passion. He missed this, he missed him, and he doesn't let go until the kisses go beyond the publicly acceptable duration and it only ends because Jai pulls away, and brings their foreheads together instead. They stand like that another minute, breathing each other in. Jai's hands on the small of Mel' back and Mel' arms around Jai's neck and for this one suspended moment they are together as one being.

Jai releases a short breath, gives him another kiss, then pulls away entirely. His previous conversation partners completely forgotten, he takes Mel by the hand, turning to face Ganti behind them instead. "Good evening to you, too."

"Ah, you remembered the rest of the world exists! How wonderful."

Mel peels his eyes away from Jai's face long enough to retort to Ganti, but he finds that despite his teasing voice, Ganti is looking at them with warm and gentle eyes. Perhaps the softest Mel has ever seen him be. It's endearing. Mel raises his free hand toward him and Jai mirrors him after a moment.

Don't be so sentimental is what Mel expects Ganti's reaction would be. He's pleasantly surprised when their senior takes them up on the offer, hugging both of them with each hand, and they return it just as lovingly. "We'll have to do this again later," Ganti reminds them, "can't have a group hug without Kunaala."

He's right, of course. Their team wouldn't be anything without her.

"Well then," Ganti starts as he pulls back, "who else is hungry?"

⚔️ Task Force 141 - NFL AU 🏈

by me (sleepyconfusedpotato) and @alypink ! This AU will include some Original Characters made by us both!

---

New Hampshire 141s, a new rising american football team whose players dominantly came from the United Kingdom, is ready to face the NFL season!

As the previous Head Coach, Herschel von Shepherd got fired by the General Manager MacMillan, John Price (who has roots in rugby) got chosen by MacMillan to bring the team to victory. Let us see which players caught Coach Price's eyes!

John Price (HC)

John Price was born in Liverpool, England, but moved to America when he was still very young due to his father being deployed from the military to an American base. Although his father retired a couple of years later, they decided to stay in America. He grew up loving sports as a child but American football always piqued his interest more than any other sports. He played safety in middle and high school, but in his junior year, he had Meniscal tears that prevented him from ever playing again. John was heavily depressed after his injury, one day one of his close friends, Nikolai, who was also one of his fellow teammates on his high school team, told him to cheer him up to go watch the team play or to attend the training camps, John agreed and started assisting to the games and eventually started to think about becoming a head coach. He was recommended by his former high school head coach to take the job as a defensive coordinator for the New Hampshire Wildcats, a college football team. His performance and playbook were impressive, leading the Wildcats to reach a bowl and winning it twice. He proved to be fit and ready for a professional football team in the NFL and was hired as a defensive coordinator by the New Hampshire 141’s, by the HC at that time, Herschel von Shepherd. His first two seasons were disastrous as there was friction between the players and their head coach, most of the players disagreed with Shepherd's decisions and playmaking. To add to that, he seemed to never care about the player's input or needs. Although in those seasons they held a record of 4 wins and 12 losses, the General Manager of the team noticed his defense was the best in the league for both points and yards, and also noticed that a good portion of his defense players were selected on the all-pro team of those two seasons. After the owner and GM fired Shepherd as a Head Coach, John took his place.  In his first seasons with the 141s, he restructured the team and went to playoffs and one NFC championship. As he wanted to improve his team, he started attending college football games, he attended once a college game in which he met the offensive coordinator at the time, Aly, and after the game he met her to ask about some players he was interested in on her actual team, for QB and WR positions, they became acquaintance since that day and kept communication for some time, as she sent some prospects his way. She also requested his help every now and then, making him attend her games and inviting her over to watch the 141s too. After spending time together and sharing the same interests and love for football, they started to date but kept it low as two months later, John hired her as his new offensive coordinator.

#26 Kyle Garrick (WR)

the most responsible and reliable player of the team. Kyle’s dad was an ex-WR and a former head coach out of a college football team. His father is a very hardworking man and disciplines his son like a football player, and with that, comes a great expectation for Kyle since his high school years. Kyle is extremely reliable, responsible, and respected on and off the field. He is HC John Price's favorite due to his work ethic. Kyle believes in having discipline in everything he does to be one of the best. He keeps a picture of his girlfriend, Eleanor Graham (Ladybug) everywhere, especially in his locker room as he says she brings him good luck for catching the hail mary’s from Alex.  Kyle and Alex met in Baylor University, where they played together and won many games, including several bowl games. They became best friends in and out of the football field, supporting each other infinitely. “You've got friends nearby.” On Alex’s quote, “I can throw the ball like ‘fuck it, he’s over there somewhere’ and Kyle would magically appear and catch the ball. He’s always at the right place.”

One day during practice Alex was throwing the ball too far to the left, which headed straight towards her head. On instinct and in an attempt to catch the ball, Kyle collided with Eleanor, which bruised her arms. Instead of being upset like how Kyle would expect her to react, she laughed loudly at him, saying that she chose to sit there. She knew the hazard of studying near a football field. Even though Eleanor said she can take care of her bruises, Kyle insisted on nursing her. (Alex SMILED ear to ear). They both met from time to time. Every practice, Kyle always looks for Eleanor on the side of the field. Eleanor’s laid-back personality often bothers Kyle as she's a damn med school student, but through her, Kyle learns how to slow down and live in the moment. Love bloomed between them and they became a couple midway through freshman year. 

When Kyle was drafted to the NFL to be with Alex for New Hampshire 141s, Eleanor was there with him when he received the call from HC Price. Though Eleanor has to stay in Texas to continue her studies, Eleanor travels to New Hampshire often to visit Kyle.

#31 Alex Keller (QB)

Alex is the quarterback of the 141s, second draft pick and first QB of his university. He is very skilled and hard-working, he is in love with water girl Farah Karim and aspires to be like Tom Brady. He and Kyle Garrick (WR) met in their first year of freshman in University and they played since their first year as the duo of QB and WR (Burrow and Chase vibes) and were drafted together in the NFL draft by the same team. Young duo but very effective especially during the regular season. Alex Keller met Farah Karim in his rookie season during training camp in his first year and has been infatuated with her. Since then, he has tried to score ASAP or reach 4th down so he can sit on the bench and talk with her. Whenever he can, he visits and picks her up from University and helps her out whenever he can in anything she would need.

#70 Simon Riley (TE)

Simon Riley used to be a rugby player in England. He joined the rugby team during his college days and met Price as one of his coaches, who trained and guided him to become one of the most dominant flankers in college rugby. Unfortunately, though he’s always dependable whenever he’s on the field, Simon was often riddled with injuries. His quiet personality didn’t help his case either, bearing the pain in his left leg in silence, until one day, he tore his ACL during an important game which cost the team their winning chances. Simon rested for a whole year to heal his knee. Together with his familial struggle, he contemplated quitting being an athlete. That was until Coach Price offered him a fresh start in the USA. As a flanker is equivalent to the Tight End position in American football, Price told him that he would be perfect for the role. Simon was adamant at first as he was still injured and how he’d be able to completely heal from this devastating injury. But when he said that in America they could find him a good physiotherapist to help him heal his knee, he reluctantly accepted the offer.  Simon got into the draft and was a first-round pick due to how much of a good player he was in rugby. On his first day on the team, he met the other players who got drafted, but the most important and the most fateful meeting was when he got introduced to Charlotte Le Jardin (nickname Jade to simplify her last name), a physiotherapist that Laswell had promised help him to heal his ACL and help him regain his top form. It was a rough road, but with every step he took, Jade was there to help him.  Now, every injury he has he doesn’t stay on the sidelines but goes inside the tent or the stadium so he can be checked by her. Whenever Jade’s out watching the game, he scores more than usual or gets distracted. He often carries the team, especially during the conference championship games. 

#71 Johnny MacTavish (RB)

Johnny MacTavish was born and raised in Scotland. After high school, he was offered an academic and sports scholarship to a prominent university in the USA. He began his football career when he was a freshman at University as a very talented runner, which elevated him as the starter RB on his fifth game. In his senior year he was  awarded the Heisman Trophy winner at college, but due to a shoulder injury, he missed being the top pick at the draft. He was later selected by the New Hampshire 141s and got put in as a starter as soon as he got drafted. He has good chemistry with his team but gets injured by overdoing himself or trying to tackle defensive players on the other team. He is also constantly with Jade for treatment and often misses important playoff games. Johnny is a very talented running back and that is why HC Price can’t get rid of him no matter how he misses practices and meetings and how his personal life affects his performance on the field. He always tries to take his friend Simon Riley to social gatherings and social media, but he completely shuts him down every time. That's different on the field though, as whenever Johnny's going to play a run, Simon will always be there in front of him to push the tacklers away, making way for Johnny to score a first down or a touch down. They're an unstoppable duo together. Johnny is very popular among female fans, making his jersey the one with the most sales every year. His dating story is pretty large and his games are always attended by the women he dates (which constantly changes).

some memes I made 😭

Here's the Hereford 141S' Logo and jersey design! The logo is heavily inspired by the Task Force 141's logo, so it's pretty much just a sporty twist of the logo!

More characters underneath the cut!

#11 Alejandro Vargas (MLB) and #22 Rodolfo Parra (OLB)

(Drawing to be posted!)

Alejandro and Rudy both moved to El Paso, Texas when they started high school at the age of 14 years old. They were avid football (soccer) players during their time in Mexico, but when they started High School they began to play football. Both Alejandro and Rodolfo played as Linebackers, Ale being MLB and Rodolfo being OLB. They did amazing in High School then they both received a scholarship to attend the university in Dallas, Texas. Both of them were later selected to do the NFL Pathway program, for both of them. Being together since their childhood years, high school and university they were a packaged deal and were both selected on the same team, same position on the NFL draft.  Alejandro is especially hyped when playing against Philip Graves, QB of the Dallas Shadows. They have had beef with each other on and off the field since they played against each other for the first time. Ale’s average sack during a game against Dallas is approximately 5 per game, he sometimes is way too harsh while tackling making him get a couple of flags whenever he blitzes and sacks. He’s often scolded by his friend Rudy, but he does not care as long as he can sack Graves.

Kate Laswell (Defensive Coordinator)

(Drawing to be posted!)

was raised in Virginia, USA. Both her parents and brothers loved football and so did she. Since elementary, she watched and never missed a game during weekends, she always had a fascination for the Chicago Bears and their ‘85 team. Her father told her about how that defense, without an extraordinary QB or offense made them win the superbowl and also made them the best defense of all time. After witnessing that season and that Superbowl, she fell in love with how the defense scheme in football works. Unfortunately professional football for women wasn’t an option, so she studied a lot to become a defensive coordinator. She studied day and night, memorizing the plays, analyzing games and creating new playbooks since she was young. She struggled a lot to have an opportunity since it was a male-dominated team. One of her childhood friends made it to the roster to become a defensive coordinator for the Colorado Buffaloes College Football Team, he was a good coach but not “impressive”. She supported him by attending his games but couldn't help but try to talk to him whenever she thought he could do better, often interrupting his play callings during his games to make him change the play, and it always worked. She and his friend attended a College Bowl, and met John Price at that game, the three of them watched the game and she started to tell both of them what adjustment she would do for both teams, and that piqued John’s interests as she was awfully right, he was impressed by how well she read offense’s routes and how she was able to change from a 3-4 or 4-3 to a hybrid defense. He decided to give her a chance and hired her as his new defensive coordinator for the 141’s and established a very good partnership and friendship with her ever since.

Farah Karim (Intern Physical Therapy Student - Watergirl)

(Drawing to be posted!)

Farah Karim is a university medical student who got an internship in his junior year of college to be the water girl and help around the New Hampshire  141s team. She comes from an immigrant family and is the pride and joy of her parents. She struggled so much in her younger years to pursue an education and get into a good college in the USA, she managed to get a scholarship due to her great school performance and was given the chance to work with a professional football team. She met Alex Keller after his rookie season and developed a close friendship with them that later turned into a romantic interest. She is grateful for his help and also supports him during games. Her classmates usually bug her by asking Farah to let them meet Alex or to set them up with him, which she dislikes very much.

(OC) Alyssa Martinez (Offensive Coordinator)

Aly was born in Mexico and moved to the USA thanks to a scholarship she received when she graduated from High School and moved to Texas to attend college. As soon as she graduated from Texas A&M holding a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management, she started working as an offensive coordinator at a local highschool. She then escalated to being an offensive coordinator for the College she attended. Aly managed to take the team to a College Bowl where she met 141s Head Coach John Price and became acquaintances after that game, they kept communication after that game, as Aly asked for suggestions for her playbook and she helped Price on suggesting him prospects for the upcoming draft selection and also players on free agency.  She was later hired by Price as his offensive coordinator and they began to have a low key romantic  relationship. She specializes in West Coast offense, having her team play the Air Coryell scheme. She suggested Price to draft Alex Keller as he was the perfect pocket passer that would fit their offense perfectly. She’s an avid Tom Brady fan.

(OC) Charlotte Le Jardin (Physical Therapist)

Originally from England, Jade was adopted by an American couple and moved with them to the United States at an early age. Her parents, Eli and Gracie, worked at Bravo Stadium, home of the 141s, and Jade became a constant presence on the sidelines. As time went by, the Bravo Stadium became her home. Jade started helping around the sidelines bringing water, towels, medical kits, and even helping out in the blue tent, all the while completing her college in biological science and doctor of physical therapy (DPT), and of course, licensing in Physical Therapy. When she got her license, her experience was already on par with the other physiotherapists since she had been jumping from senior to seniors, learning and practicing all she could. Kate Laswell who has been seeing Jade there since she was a teenager, hired Jade as one of the many physiotherapists for 141s, and with that came a fateful challenge: a newcomer Tight End with a torn ACL from his rugby days, who’s trying to get back to his top form in order to play in the NFL.

PHEW so there you have it! If you've read it this far, oh my LORD me and Aly love you so much! This is a pretty severe brainrot that we had, so hope you like it!

And let's enjoy the 2024 NFL Season 🏈🏈🏈

Hope you like it! 🥰🥰

some golden guards + caleb

i wanted to take a break and do some character design of a few golden guards based off of some of the ones seen briefly in canon. i also drew hunter and caleb as references for faces and stuff. i tried to make them as similar as possible, but also looking very individual to one another. since belos claimed that hunter looks the most like caleb, i tried to stay true to that while keeping the other three looking similar but not quite as identical. anyways i love them <3 they’re like the most mentally ill family ever to me

these weren’t supposed to be real ocs or anything but then i ended up giving them names and backstories and so i wrote a little about them aaaand now im obsessed. i will try to make a full body ref for them, especially alistair and/or constance, if i have time

i apologize for my godawful handwriting 💔
