oh that max/oscat drabble is 😍😍😍😍 i love the casual way lando talks to oscat, fully aware he sounds insane by talking to a “cat” like the cat is gonna talk back … i love that

i'm imagining this happening well into the season, like after the summer break so lando's gotten VERY USED to finding oscat snuggled onto the couch of his driver's room (rather than. you know. oscar's perfectly acceptable own driver's room). idk like even in a setting where they're not endgame i can see them have this comfortable joke-y relationship. also lando seems like the kind of guy who'd talk to a cat regardless of wether or not the cat actually understands him. he's just lucky that this one does

ANYWAY i like this idea of. max coming across oscar as a cat at first, not realizing it's oscar and he's just like "cat!!!!!!! i like cats" and tries to pet it. oscar is reluctant at first maybe but max is nice and he's being so polite about it and also he smells kind a good? and the sweatpants he happens to be wearing a really soft. and like MAYBE oscar will just have a lil nap. a tiny one. like who's going to KNOW. he can indulge himself Just This Once

which is of course when lando barges in

i did also have this idea of charles also being a shape shifter (except he's... a mouse) and max tries to warn him like "hey i've been seeing this cat in lando's driver's room a few times? like you might want to watch out when you're in mouse form" and charles just. laughs at him. because he thinks he's joking. anyway that's how max finds out the cat he's been snuggling with for the past few weeks is actually one of his best mate's slightly awkward teammates that flushes a truly adorable shade of BRIGHT FUCKING RED every time he's near max (in human form)

please tell me 5 hc-s about sebmick bodyguard au

Bodyguard au :(((((

Sebastian introduces himself to Mick by saying I was your father's not out of a misplaced sense of loyalty but genuinely because that's how he sees himself. He's theirs, that's all there is to it. That's the basis of this entire au.

HC 1: Michael recruits Sebastian in a Bruce Wayne/Terry Mcginnis kind of way. Michael catches Sebastian jacking his car; the rims of his Ferrari do be gleaming. In two seconds Michael throws Sebastian (who at this point is still all limbs) to the ground. "Fight me fairly," Sebastian demands in a fit of desperation. "Fairly?" Michael goes. "Alright then, we race."

Michael beats Sebastian. But barely.

Oh, this one's mine.

Anyway, instead of turning Sebastian over to the police, Michael hires him and trains him not necessarily in the ways of a bodyguard but in all manner of life, he makes sure Sebastian keeps his grades up while teaching him how to box and instructs him in the matters of his business. I think it is Sebastian's own decision to fashion himself as the protector, because it's his way of repaying Michael.

HC 2: When Mick is forced into assuming the role as head of the business abruptly, Sebastian decides that he will alleviate Mick's burden in anyway possible, so he oversees Mick's schedule, he sits in meetings with business partners, he cooks (because Mick only ever wants to eat his cooking, it seems), he guards, as he always does, all the while ensuring that his own skills are sharpened like a knife because all the sharks around them are smelling blood in this transitory period.

Anyway, every Friday night Seb boxes with Mark and over the thud of his fists hitting solid mass he finds it easier to haltingly spill that he might be in love with his employer (and in way over his head). He was a street punk. He shouldn't be helping to run the mafia. He most definitely shouldn't be in love with the mafia.

Mark rolls his eyes and asks Sebastian why he chooses to make life difficult for himself. And then delivers an uppercut that clips Sebastian on the chin.

Mick is furious and insists on applying ointment on Sebastian himself.

HC 3: Mick kisses Sebastian first. He's fallen asleep over the numbers he's been poring over for the last few hours, and is shaken awake by a gentle hand on his shoulder. Sebastian's beloved face swims into view.

"I made you tea," Sebastian says softly. "Let's get you to bed—"

Mick grabs Sebastian by the collar and pulls him down into a kiss. He's wanted this for so long. There's the soft gasp from Sebastian that Mick inwardly crows at eliciting and he's wondering how else would Sebastian sound like, if Mick pushed in tenderly—

Sebastian stumbles back. "Mick," he says breathless, "we, we can't."

Except this Mick knows how to take.

"You said you were mine," Mick says. "Didn't you?" And Sebastian can't argue. He kisses back this time.

HC 4: Sebastian gets injured in a shootout protecting Mick. It's an injury that ensures that he will never run as far or jump as high or react as fast in situations where he's required to insert himself in front of a bullet ever again.

Mick's first reaction is to demolish the people responsible and scorch the earth. His second reaction is to fumble over himself when Sebastian is in physical therapy to make tea or cook or do whatever he can to make Sebastian's life easier. His third reaction is to ban Sebastian from accompanying him on dangerous meetings.

That doesn't go down well.

HC 5: Mick and Sebastian spend a torturous six months not talking. Sebastian sits down to pen his resignation letter (because what good is he, if he can't be a shield for the person he cares most about) but he stares at the piece of paper and the fountain pen that Michael gave him ten years ago trembles in his grip. I wish to tender my... and the words fail him.

On the other hand Mick is worrying himself sick wondering where Sebastian is if Sebastian would just come back Mick would let him take any job he wanted, he could stay in their residences with no responsibility attached he could do anything, but Sebastian doesn't call.

There's a business meeting with one of the Schumacher's greatest competitors. Mick crosses his tees and dots his eyes and goes into it not quite nervous, but still unsettled. And with good reason. The buyers have decided to rid themselves of the suppliers, and Mick finds himself in a hail of gunfire, and despite being well guarded there's only so much a human body can do in the wake of bullets. Except there's a sudden explosion that shakes the building's foundation and throws up a column of smoke and even more confusion into the mix.

There's a hand on his elbow and Mick blindly throws a punch and catches someone on his cheek.

"I've taught you well," Sebastian says, massaging his face. Mick knows it'll bruise. He wants to cry. The smoke stinging his eyes makes it easy. "Could you hit me later? When I've gotten you out of here? I promise I'll give you a free swing."

"I'm not going to hit you," Mick says, voice thick. His hand is tight around Sebastian's wrist as Sebastian guides them out of the collapsing building.

"You should," Sebastian says, and Mick doesn't argue because they're out of the rubble and squinting in the sunlight.

i love the way mac and dennis take care of each other in different ways. mac making sure dennis is eating, doing small things for him like dyeing his hair and convincing himself he's "badass" enough to protect dennis but also i have a very strong headcanon that dennis takes care of mac in a more subtle way like looking out for him and one example i can think of to support this is when dennis burned luther's letters and got very upset about mac knowing bc 1. he knew it would break him and 2. he didn't want this to be perceived as him protecting mac. dennis is able to spot manipulation and mac isn't, bc he's desperate to be loved and can't see things clearly. so i can imagine if mac got a boyfriend who was manipulative towards him dennis would immediately have the instinct to protect him. like "i do this too but when i do it it's different and if u hurt him i'll literally kill u"

Nah but I did have a fairly ridiculous Genshin AU idea at some point

Post-Irminsul Erasure Scaramouche somehow swaps realities with a version of himself Pre-Irminsul Erasure.

What makes it better/worse?

Wanderer is from a reality where Lumine is the Traveler and Aether is the Abyss Prince

Balladeer is from a reality where Aether is the Traveler and Lumine is the Abyss Princess

Balladeer, when he wakes up in Lumine's teapot, finds himself in bed with Lumine (Abyss Princess? What the hell?) and Childe (WHAT THE HELL!?)

Wanderer is now either in the midst of the Unreconciled Stars Event or he's in Inazuma during the Delusion bullshit and is like "You have got to be kidding me."

Every time I go to the tag for Alexander of Tirragen, I see this snippet from a wip you were making long ago:

I have scrolled for ages through your blog in search of more and even resorted to trying to find it via searching on with tags there, but I can find nothing more

if you still have it somewhere, finished or not, I beg you to reveal it if not to your blog at large then to me

It haunts me, I think about it practically daily

I am prepared to go to extreme measures (this is only partially a joke), you want me to name my first born after you? Done. You want me to make a shirt of shame to wear everyday for the rest of my life saying that I annoyed you on tumblr over a silly thing? Done. You want money? As soon as I get a way to transfer money online then sure.

it’s of course fine if you don’t want to share, it’s your work to do with as you please, or if you don’t have it any more, it was from the little I could see very prettily written and it just piqued my interest, Alex is a very beloved character to me

have a great day

That is the merest etchings of me poking at an AU where Alex of Tirragen MAY OR MAY NOT have been reincarnated for a second chance... and ends up being a page more or less alongside Keladry of Mindelan. These are only pokes, mind you, but let me assure you that while Alex's morals are more of the blue and orange variety, more often than not he's backing Kel. He gets her. For your entertainment and from a discord conversation:

DarkPuck: i am here for the AU where he's a yearmate of joren's and while kel doesn't actually LIKE him, becuase alex is a bastard with blue and orange morality -- alex doesn't give a good fuck that she's a girl DarkPuck: like it doesn't even seem to register in his head that gender is a thing DarkPuck: "she's The Girl!" "....and?" DarkPuck: Alex just does not get why that is a problem????? who cares????????? kheradihr: Alex "I don't see how it weighs in on her ability to handle training, whereas you, [name], you're an embarrassment to this august tradition." kheradihr: Kel "By the Goddess he just threw august in to be an asshole" DarkPuck: Alex: "you get me." Kel: -DOES NOT WANT TO GET HIM-

Anyway Alex does not know what gender has to do with anything, and as for sexual preferences, while you were busy being allosexual, he studied the blade. Bonus fun fact: This Alex's knight-guardian is none other than Gary the Younger. Alex loves him.

Still thinking about Spock with grey at his temples. 💙

I wanna see him and Jim grow old together in a little cottage, somewhere warm with a garden.

They're proud of the intelligent and courageous young women they call their daughters and they await the girls' return from their own voyage.

I really need to write an Ascian!Ariadne scene where Ariadne has infiltrated some rebellion or resistance or another, gets "captured" during an infiltration mission, then gets "interrogated" by Emet.

The whole thing is, naturally, a ruse so she can get a message to him, and they have a nice chat about humanity while someone is breaking in to try to "rescue" her.

If you saw me agreeing with being annoyed about wasted helium in a fictional context and were like "I bet she has some more helium based anger in her life" good news LAPD fucked up a raid on a medical facility they thought was a pot farm and flat out ruined thousands of gallons of the stuff.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?
