Series Masterlist - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8

You gawked at Ben as the piece of information he'd given you set in. Frankie. Your Frankie thought you were dead. Ben watched you closely as a myriad of emotions flitted across your face. His arms gently bounced Esme as she settled against his firm chest and fell asleep once more. He knew this was a difficult idea to process but he also knew that you had to understand that Frank was delicate right now and needed time to assimilate this world instead of the one he'd been trapped in for weeks.

"Titch?" He piped up after you had been silent a while, his eyes searching your face for any sort of understanding.

"He thinks I'm dead?" You asked and he nodded grimly "What?… How?… What do you mean?"

"When he woke the first time, he was sobbing about how he was going to see 'her' again. Initially, I had thought he meant Mel but it soon became clear it was you he was talking about." Ben answered as he rested his cheek against the crown of Emse's head "The doctor believes that when he was in a coma he was dreaming but aspects of reality trickled in." He continued "So those days we sat by his bedside and you asked him to come back to you, he could hear you. Or I suppose the ghost of you."

You couldn't hold back the sob that fell from your lips. Your heart shattered completely and you sank to the floor as you processed what Ben had said.

"So all that time he's been living in a world where I died and he's had to raise little Esme all alone." It wasn't a question. It was just you stating a simple fact and Ben could do nothing but watch as you fell apart on the clinical hospital floor.

"Titch, I know this is a lot to take in and I know your first instinct is probably to run back in there and try a convince him that this world is real and that you are too but…"

"I know what you're going to say, Ben." You interrupted "He's fragile and we need to be careful with him. I get it!" You snapped "I will stay away."

"That's not what I am saying." Ben groaned as he carefully lowered himself onto the ground beside you, his large hand cradling Esme's head as he slid down the lino-covered wall "He just needs a few days to adjust. He's been in a coma for close to two months. He's confused and it's going to take a few days for the fog to clear. So perhaps we ease him into this gently."

You nodded, knocking a few tears loose with the action and Ben smiled as you rested your head on his shoulder.

"He's back with us Titch and he's getting better." Ben stated as he nuzzled the downy hair on Esme's head "You and him and Esme are going to be a family but he's still got a road ahead of him."

You nodded, taking Ben's free hand in yours and giving it a gentle squeeze.

"We just need to help him walk it. At whatever pace he can manage."

The next few days were torture. You avoided the hospital like the plague, handing Emse off to Ben each day so that he could take her to see Frankie. You knew he was going to try and get Frankie to come around to the fact that you are real. That this isn't a dream but Frank was out of it during his visits. They had kept him mildly sedated in order to keep him calm as he got used to being awake. Ben and Will watched as his awareness slowly but surely ebbed its way through. Fish became a little more coherent with each visit.

"You think you feel up to holding her today?" Asked Ben as he took the bottle of water Frankie had been sipping from off of the man and placed it on the table "She seems smaller than I remember." The man said and Ben shared a look with Will.

"Remember what we talked about yesterday Catfish?" Will asked as he perched on the bed "You've been sleeping for a while and what you remember of Esme was a dream."

Frank's brows drew together as he tried to remember the conversation in question. Things were still so fuzzy. Memories felt heavy but he tried to figure out which ones were real and which ones were just a coma-induced fantasy.

"Who's been taking care of Esme whilst I've been gone?" He asked, his voice quiet and uncertain as his eyes flitted between the two Miller brothers.

"Titch has been." Ben stated "She woke up a few days after you had your heart attack." He continued as he placed his hand on his friend's and squeezed in in a reassuring gesture "She really wants to see you… She's missed you like crazy."

Frank just closed his eyes and shook his head as a few silent tears slipped down his flushed cheeks "Why would you say that to me." He choked "Why give me hope when there isn't any."

"Fish I am telling you the god's honest truth." Ben urged "Titch didn't die. It was all a dream."

"Ben." Will piped up, giving his younger brother a look that silently said 'That's enough.'

"I would like to hold my daughter now." Frankie stated plainly and Benny nodded, smiling down at little Esme as he scooped her up and placed her into her father's waiting arms.

The pilot beamed as he looked down at his daughter and it was the first time in days that either Miller brother had witnessed genuine joy from the older man.

"Hello, princessa." He cooed as he placed a kiss on the tip of her nose "You are so pretty." He resumed as he stroked her plump cheek with the tip of his pointer finger "Just like your mumma."

"Titch is such a natural with her man." Ben beamed as he watched the scene unfold "Seems to know what Esme wants before she even cries. It's mad." He chuckled but Frankie didn't look at him. Didn't even acknowledge that he had spoken.

Ben's shoulders visibly shrank at that.

Will motioned for Ben to follow him as he stood from where he had perched on the bed and made his way out into the hall, letting the pilot know they'd be back in a moment before stepping far enough away that they were out of earshot.

"I think we need to bring Titch to visit." Will stated plainly.

"But he still doesn't believe she's alive." Ben argued, glancing at the man through the glass wall of his cubical before returning his attention to Will.

"He's stable. The doctor said today that his vitals are strong and he's confident that the worst is behind." Will stated as he scraped a hand over his short blonde hair "I think it's time we bring her here. So that he can see for himself that she's alive and well."

"I don't know Will." Ben replied, shaking his head as he thought about it "You remember how he was last time he saw her."

"He had just woken up from a 7-week coma and he was confused." Wil growled "He is now awake, lucid and talking so I think now is the time to rip that bandaid off. We're gonna need to eventually"

Ben nodded. He knew his brother was right. Frankie was going to have to see you at some point and he had promised you that it was a few days that Fish needed to get himself used to this reality. Well, those 'few days' had long passed.

"Fine." Ben conceded "I will bring her with me tomorrow when I come to see him with Titchy." He replied "You're right."

"I know." Will teased as he gave his bother a friendly pat on the arm "Happens more often than you think."

"Shut up." Ben grumbled before they returned to the pilot's room.

"Are you sure about this Ben?" You asked as he led the way to Frankie's room.

When he had said it was time you visited with him and Esme you had been sceptical. You didn't want to go through another ordeal like the one you had experienced before. In just over a week you had witnessed him go into cardiac arrest and then wake up and beg you to leave him alone.

You weren't sure how much more your heart could take.

"Will said that it's time we rip that bandaid off and I agree." He stated simply as they came to the ICU "He's stable and getting stronger every day so I think it's time he starts to get used to the idea that you are very much alive and kicking."

"Your arse if this doesn't go well." You added and he chuckled.

"Fair enough."

You stopped outside Frankie's cubicle and noted he was sleeping and you felt yourself grow more and more nervous by the second. Ben didn't need to look at you to see this.

"I will go in, and let him know he has a visitor. Give me a few minutes okay?" He said softly as he placed a comforting hand on your arm "I'll wave at you to come in when he's ready okay?"

You simply nodded and watched as Ben stepped inside the glass room, his smile growing wide as Frankie's eyes cracked open and fixed on him.

…

"How are you feeling this morning brother?" He asked as he sat himself down beside his friend.

"Little stronger today." The pilot answered and Ben grinned at his reply.

"That's good Fishcakes." He chucked when the pilot groaned at the nickname "Feeling up to a visitor?" He asked and Frankie gave him a perplexed look "Titch is here." Ben stated and Frankie's eyes widened "She really wants to see you." He finished as he looked over his shoulder at you stood in the ward as you fidgetted with your hands.

Frankie's eyes followed Ben's and his eyes widened further as he saw you standing there.

"You can see her?" He asked Ben and the younger man chuckled.

"Course I can."

"She's really there?" He asked and Ben just smiled at him sweetly and nodded before motioning to you to come in.

You nervously stepped inside. Esme's carrier in one hand and the other pushing the glass door open. Your eyes never left Franks. Not even when you placed the carrier down on the floor beside you. The two of you just stared at each other for what felt like an eternity before Ben finally spoke up.

"I'll leave you two to catch up." He said as he picked up Esme "We're gonna go say hi to Esme's fans… Aren't with Titchy." He said as his voice adopted that high-pitched tone that was only for her.

Neither of you looked away as he left. You just continued to stare like it had been years rather than weeks without seeing or speaking to each other. When you couldn't take the silence anymore you spoke up whilst taking a seat at his bedside.

"How are you doing?" You asked, your voice quiet and timid as you searched his face for something.

"Stronger." He replied simply and you nodded "Still confused."

"I bet." You replied, trying to lighten the mood that had settled over the room "I'm so happy you're awake."

"Am I?" He asked and it was your turn to look confused "What if this is some sort of coma-induced dream?"

"Frankie-"

"How do I know that this isn't just my dying brain showing me what it is I want to see?"

Silent tears slipped down your cheeks as you and him just continued to stare at each other.

"I want to believe this is real." He hicupped as his own tears started to fall "I want to believe that the woman I love is alive and sitting right in front of me but I can't."

"I am real." You urged as you grabbed his hand and brought it to your face "Does this feel real to you?"

"Everything there felt real too!" He stated as he snatched his hand away "The pain… The heartbreak… All of that felt so real."

You sobbed loudly then as he continued.

"The pain I felt when that car struck me… it was so real. The pain of not being able to breathe as I lay there dying felt so real and I…" He trailed off but you knew what he was going to say.

He had been ready to die.

"What can I do to convince you that this is real?" You sobbed as you hugged yourself.

"I don't know." Frankie answered honestly "I don't want to accept this, that you are here right now, alive and well only for me to wake up one day in a different hospital bed and realise that it wasn't real. I can't lose you again."

"That's not going to happen!" You pleaded but he just shook his head.

"I wish I could believe that."

You were saved by the Ben.

The younger Miller strolled in with a grinning Esme in his arms and you quickly wiped away your tears and schooled your features.

"Titchy here is quick the chick magnet." Ben chuckled as he bounced her and she smiled widely as she shyly shoved her head in his chest "Awe… You weren't all shy a minute ago."

"Why do I get the feeling you're going to willingly babysit when I go back to work?" You chuckled and the man just shrugged nonchalantly.

"Because I'm an amazing uncle?"

"That you are." You said fondly as you took Esme from him "Time for someone's lunch you said as you sat down again and pulled down your tank top. Smiling as Esme eagerly latched to your breast and started to suckle.

Ben watched a moment in fondness before his eyes travelled over to Frankie who was watching in awe. His eyes were red and teary. From what, Ben wasn't sure but he did wonder if it was partly due to the beautiful spectacle of you breastfeeding Titchy.

He had been able to sense as soon as he walked in that your reunion hadn't been what you had hoped. So instead of prying, he tried to bring some joy and Titchy was nothing but pure joy in his eyes. He knew that both you and Frankie would talk about what had happened when you were ready. He wasn't going to push the subject. He knew this was going to take time and he was there for the ride.

So in the following weeks, You visited with Ben, hoping that each visit would bring him around to the idea that you were alive and that this wasn't some fever dream.

Then when the doctor announced that Frankie was well enough to go home, Ben helped you move into the pilot's house. You had figured he would be more comfortable in his own environment but he still needed help. He was getting stronger every day but he still had days where he felt rough and bone tired.

"Can I get you anything else?" You asked as you walked into the lounge and placed the freshly brewed coffee you'd made for him down on the table beside him.

Today was one of Frank's worse days. But he hadn't wanted to stay cooped up in bed. So you had helped him to the couch that you had set up with pillows and soft blankets. Esme was now napping on his bare chest, skin-on-skin time being something he had demanded the moment he had gotten home. You couldn't help but glance at the large scar between his pectorals. It was healing well but still looked pink and slightly angry. It was a clean cut. Almost a perfect straight line, right down the centre of his chest. The surgeon had said he was sure that with time, the scar would fade to the point that he almost wouldn't notice it but Frankie hadn't really cared all that much.

He was littered with scars from battle after all.

"No, thank you." Frankie replied as he glanced up at you and smiled before returning his attention to the drooling baby on his chest "She's so perfect." He stated as you sat down on the armchair across from him "I still can't believe that you and me made her."

"Yeah, I know what you mean." You chuckled "I still have to pinch myself on the daily because I can't believe she's real." You flinched at your statement, internally scorning yourself for your choice of words but Frank didn't appear to be phased.

"I hope she is." Was all he said as he stroked her cheek with his thumb, smiling sweetly at his precious angel.

You watched him for a while. Admiring how much of a natural he was with her. Since getting him back home you had started to express, allowing him to do some of the feeds whilst you cooked or cleaned, whatever needed doing.

Frankie did what he could on the days he felt well enough but on the days that he didn't you know he was torturing himself. He hated how weak he felt. This was a man who had never been afforded the opportunity to be weak. He was expected to be strong every day of his life. To walk away from battle even if he'd taken a bullet to the leg.

"I never told you how wonderful Esme Nursery is!" You said after a little while "You didn't such a wonderful job. Especially as you were squeezing it in between caring for her and visiting me in the hospital."

This made Frankie pause and he blinked up at you as he studied you closely.

"Ben told me that if you weren't with me at the hospital or caring for Esme, you were spending every waking moment getting that nursery finished."

"I had to keep myself distracted." He replied, his eyes glistening with unshed tears as he remembered how every time he'd closed his eyes, he pictured you as your face paled and your eyes had drooped. The alarms had rung in his ears for days.

"I know it must have been really hard for you, Fish." You said softly as you gave him a sympathetic smile.

"Not as hard as it's been for you." You didn't react to this.

This was the first time he'd acknowledged you and what you had likely been through whilst he'd been in a coma. He had still been weary of believing you were real. The odd comment here or there making it clear to you that he still didn't believe this was real.

But you could see that he wanted to.

"I don't want this to end." He whispered, so quietly that you almost missed it but you didn't.

"It won't." You replied with a smile.

Frankie glanced at you and noted a new expression you'd not seen before. Something that almost looked like hope so you hoped that your next statement would give him that.

"We're here to stay."

0084: Marvel Feature #1 (Main Story)

Cover Date: December 1971 On-Sale Date: July 20, 1971

Here we have it. The origin of the most fabulous fighting team of all! This is the first appearance of The Defenders so them becoming fabulous so quickly must be like the dubious "instant classic" tag. Roy Thomas, who wrote all the individual installments leading up to this point gives us a returning villain for them to face. He spends more than half the story gathering the team with a scenario that's actually difficult for them to counter. Ross Andru joins the feature for the three issues the Defenders appear in. The art isn't the clean lines we're used to from most previous artists. There's more definition, but it looks shakier overall.

We start by looking at the Sanctum Santorum from the street. Ross is better at it than previous artists but chooses to make the entrance street level with no stoop. It's an unusual feature for a New York City residential building.

The kitty-cat only figures in this panel only. Cats have a habit of not boding well for Doc stories. Moving inside, the Sanctum is very dark and Doc is enjoying a seat in front of his fireplace. Ross doesn't give Doc a cool Ditko chair with lots of gargoyles and other creatures hanging on. Instead it's this uncomfortable looking art-deco thing. On the plus side, Doc has gone back to his classic look and the mask, along with the skin tight body suit are gone. Doc hears his name called out, but Wong doesn't. The call is mystical!

Doc goes ghost to investigate. Ross honors the Ditko tradition of no cloak while in astral form. He traces the call to a particular hospital room. A team of medical personnel surround a beat up, bandaged guy.

That's our buddy Yandroth, last seen falling eternally through another cosmos. Eternity must have ended and Yandroth fell hard because he looks like crap.

Ouchies! Yandroth can see Doc's astral form so things have happened since their last meeting to increase his abilities. He explains that he fell through a bunch of other realms and picked up some magic too. He used both skills to build something called the Omegatron that will blow up the Earth when he dies. He gives one of my favorite lines in all of comic history!

Yandroth lapses back into a coma. Doc then compels a bunch of Doctors to try and save his life and keep the Omegatron from going boom before he can figure out what to do. (There's that consent thing again.) There efforts don't last long and Yandroth goes to his reward in the great beyond a few minutes later.

I doubt that the doctors would actually discuss this in an operating room where the patient just died. Or maybe things were different a half-century ago. The comment moves the plot along and Doc has a starting point to find the Omegatron. Doc doesn't immediately head to Maine. He's got to gather up his posse first. Namor is first.

Namor isn't thrilled about being asked this, but when Doc says, in flowery purple prose, that the Earth may blow up and that includes the oceans he relents. He suggests a couple of others to lend a hand. They being the Hulk and the Silver Surfer. Doc looks in of Surf-y who is attempting to escape the Earth. As in every prior attempt to escape, Surf-y go boom against Galactus's big barrier and knocks himself out. Oops!

Doc goes ghost again to recruit the Hulk. Doc finds the jolly green giant and has a bit of fun getting him on his side.

And where else would we get a sound effect like FLAMM! Doc lures Hulkie to Namor and they manage to subdue him long enough to explain the situation. Hulkie just wants friends so Doc agrees that they will be friends. Hulk goes along with his new friends. Now the trio needs to find where Yandroth has stashed his doomsday machine. Doc gives himself a spiffy, if outdated, outfit to confab with some locals.

The old couple are happy to help and tell Doc about a new lighthouse that went up which went up recently. Doc and company head out.

Yandroth has, of course, left defenses which the trio must overcome before they can get inside and try to talk the Skynet reject out of making everything go boom. Hulkie tries to go through the front door.

Namor tries going through the sea and from below.

Doc tries to force his way, astrally.

Doc makes it through and confronts Omegatron, who has Yandroth's face. Yup, our dead villain is a bit of a narcissist. Doc is surprised by the machine's ability to think and speak and explain the whole plot to Doc. Yandroth tricked Doc. He lured him, along with his very muscle-y allies there. When they attack the machine, it'll have enough energy to trigger the big boom.

Uh-oh! Doc's got a problem. Namor and Hulkie have barged into the control room and are moments away from being very violent with it. Doc attempts to reason with them, but they think he's an illusion trying to trick them into not attacking. The pair decides to attack the "Doc illusion" instead. Doc casts illusions on the pair so they attack each other. This is only a temporary fix as the battle will still charge the machine, just a bit more slowly. Doc thinks fast and casts a spell to slow down time around the Omegatron.

Doc says the Earth now has countless years to live. Don't believe it. The Omegatron will menace the us again. So will Yandroth for that matter, but that's a story for another day. The trio depart, not on the greatest of terms. Despite their misgivings, the Defenders will reunite.

Doc the hides the Omegatron portion of the lighthouse. What could go wrong?

Despite this being the first story in the issue, Doc is already back on the active roster. A backup story covers his return and has already been reviewed. I'll skip the 1950s Sub-Mariner reprint between the two.

The story itself is a bit pedestrian and functions more to gather the team and introduce friction between the members. A forgotten villain shows up and promptly dies. Doc chooses a pair of powerful, but unstable personalities. It'll make for a lot of drama over the coming years. The Defenders fluid concept and unofficial nature makes it a different beast than a formal team like The Avengers. In fact the two teams will clash in the near future. The story is functional and performs its task efficiently. Fortunately, the Defenders will evolve into a much more interesting animal and allow Doc to stick around.

you want xehanort lore? here is my best attempt based on what i know. i havent beaten the game where time travel got involved so this is uh. before things got too bad

so xehanort was a keyblade master who was training this kid ventus. then one day he felt a bit silly and wanted to restart a war for science so he stabbed a child to split his heart into two halves (ventus, pure light, and vanitas, pure dark) and then gave ventus (actively dying because of having his heart you know. ripped in half) to his old pal eraqus to deal with and kept vanitas. his GOAL was that vanitas and ventus would eventually fight and somehow form this old weapon called the x-blade (not to be confused with the keyblade despite being pronounced the same) because something something it forms when equal light and dark powers clash i think? idk. anyways i literally have no clue what happened at the end of bbs because i wasnt paying attention but iirc that plan only semi worked and ventus ended up in a fucking coma for 10 years. in the meantime i think xehanort was uh. i feel like his goal was immortality but i could be mixing him up with william afton. anyways he norted a boy. that boy was terra. basically he just possessed him. so theres terranort now. then aqua i think beat him up then dropped him off in radiant garden before going to the void

terranort then took a quick detour to get a phd in unethical science with notoriously totally definitely not the worst character ever ansem the wise. he learned about how to release peoples hearts and then uh. idr how this happened exactly BUT HE DID IT TO HIMSELF AND MAYBE CONVINCED ANSEM TW's OTHER APPRENTICES TO DO IT TOO????? anyways so oops! he now has split himself in half. not the same way he split ventus in half though he split himself in half in like a normal way, aka into a heartless and a nobody

tldr explanation for heartless and nobodies, heartless are peoples hearts that have succumbed to darkness and nobodies are the body they leave behind. if you have a strong will, your nobody is basically just a kinda funky copy of yourself without a heart. also if you choose to succumb to darkness instead of being overtaken by it, then you remain sentient as a heartless <-(this is also why sora was a very polite heartless, since he released his own heart). xehanort filled both of those conditions, so his heartless was ansem seeker of darkness and his nobody was xemnas. neither of them are ansem in any way shape or form and i genuinely cannot remember if there was a reason for him naming himself after ansem besides spite.

anyways. xemnas goes on to form a cult of nobodies with the other 5 apprentices that lost their hearts and a handful of other people he found. meanwhile, ansem sod is hanging out on the island sora and riku live on and is being weird to children. riku is feeling a bit silly and also jealous that his crush doesnt need him and so he accidentally destroys his home and starts hanging out with the demons. ansem sod decides that it would be really funny to possess this kid and so he tells riku that the darkness holds the secrets to free robux if he just succumbs to it. unfortunately no free robux awaits riku and ansem sod norts his second boy. its fine though, sora got exorcised him and then killed him with the power of friendship.

meanwhile, xemnas' cult is thriving. until it isnt. sora killed like half their members then tripped and fell so hard that he got amnesia and now hes in a coma while namine tries to fix him. theyve recruited soras nobody, this weird quiet kid named roxas, to go kill a bunch of heartless with the goal of completing kingdom hearts. what is kingdom hearts? great question im not sure. its like this big heart moon / the heart of all worlds? idk its where hearts go when theyre not heartless. xemnas tells his cult that completing kingdom hearts will give them all back their hearts and so they all are going along with it because they want their hearts back. except roxas who doesnt really care about this whole humanity thing but hes being bribed to stay with ice cream. but soon not even ice cream is enough to get him to stay. roxas decides to go out and find himself (literally!) and then immediately gets kidnapped by riku who is sad that his boyfriend is in a coma and snatched roxas to bring back to ansemtw so they could wake sora up. roxas then dies tragically. goodbye roxas!

sora then goes on to kill pretty much the rest of their members (except for axel who kills himself) and then tells xemnas to go die and then he and riku kill him with the power of... friendship........ totally just friendship

and then i stopped paying attention! hope this helps :>>

holy fucking shit, you really went above and beyond for this and I really must thank you more than just typing "thank you" here. THIS IS SO CRAZY!!! I'm fucking cackling over the robux bit too, that was brilliantly placed. I know NOTHING of kingdom hearts, but now I know...this guy! kinda! Again thank you, holy shit, I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day!

LABELED a tomboy since she could remember , gianna spent all of her free time outside , collecting grass stains rather than dolls. finding an equal balance between rugby and soccer , while also maintaining good grades and a healthy social life was her biggest concern. such trivial issues in comparison to what was to come.

THEIR dad passed away when gianna was just shy of her 13th birthday , the first tragedy experienced. after suffering a heart attack, he fell into a coma that he unfortunately would not recover from. losing the patriarch of the house was difficult , and matteo felt obligated to fill the role , which put a strain on gianna's relationship with their eldest brother.

GIANNA was 15 when all hell broke loose in the surrounding neighborhood. chilling screams filled the dead of night , people were running through the streets , homes and vehicles up in flames. that night felt like a fever dream , she can barely remember how their family managed to escape , but she'll never forget the carnage left behind.

HER youngest brother was the first family member lost , their mom soon following. a complete stranger lunged at them , teeth seeking flesh and dani's arm getting caught in the crossfire. when he eventually succumbed to the virus , their mom was too heartbroken and hysterical to let him go , thus resulting in her own demise.

SEEKING out refuge , the remaining aguilar siblings travelled south , attracted to the promise of shelter and protection from the military in the cities like many others. for several years , it was comforting to find unity with other survivors and lead as normal a life as they were permitted. but all that glitters is not gold.

TO this day , gianna isn't sure if it was an act of rebellion against their eldest brother's constant hovering or if javier had just finally cracked under the pressure of the harsh , new reality. but he did something risky and stupid , repeatedly , until he got caught and was turned into an example , costing his life in exchange. matteo and gianna made their escape the following night , putting as much distance as they could between themselves and any military-controlled faction.

SO she got stuck with the bro she couldn't see eye to eye with , classic. they argued lots , and blamed anything they could on each other ( gigi might've pulled a real low blow at some point by blaming javier's death on matteo oop ). they were so busy being angry with each other that they got cornered by a few clickers. ultimately, matteo got torn to shreddies just before somebody / somebodies from novac swooped in to save gianna , bringing her back to town.

fast forward a whole year , gigi has established pretty decent rapport within their little community. definitely earns their keep by helping wherever they can , the main role obviously being work as a farmer. was pretty closed off and guarded on arrival , but she's opened up a lot and is lowkey a huge softie for her people.

18+ MINORS AND THOSE WITHOUT AGE IN BIO DNI

chapter 20

warnings: hospitals, swearing, mention of sex, Dan is a grumpy old man, misgendering

I woke up the next morning when dan was getting back in bed with the nurses help. I sat up, rubbing my eyes and moving to help him as well. I nodded my thanks at the nurse and leaned into the kiss on the cheek dan gave me.

“what happened?” I asked. Dan smiled sheepishly at me.

“I had to use the bathroom. Didn’t wanna wake you up.” He said softly. I started to make a noise of protest but dan kissed me. “After what Abbie put you through yesterday, you deserved to sleep a bit longer.” He rubbed his hand down my arm. “I just couldn’t wait for that long.” I laughed as he smiled at me. “I’m glad you’re in a better mood.”

“knowing you are going to be alright does the trick.” I said with a smile as I moved to sit in front of him. Dan smiled at me and tugged the strip of fabric around my wrist. “Oh. They uh cut your shirt. To get it off. I uh…” Dan nodded as he stared at it. “Sorry.”

“what do you have to be sorry for? They had to cut it. So what. Just a shirt.” He said with a shrug. I nodded. “Really like that you’re wearing my jacket though.” I laughed.

“down boy. You just have major surgery. Not happening.” Dan playfully pouted at me.

“come on. I bet you’ve never had sex in a hospital bed before.” He teased. “I have. Pretty comfortable.” I looked at him in shock. “Oh. Pretty sure I had told you…I uh had an ulcer I think. Had to have surgery. Girl that I chased like a puppy came in and we ended up having sex. I uh went into a coma after.” Dans face fell and he rubbed the back of his neck. “I could have sworn I told you that. Oops.” I crossed my arms over my chest and raised an eyebrow at him.

“knowing that you still want to have sex right now in a hospital bed?” Dan shrugged half heartedly. “No. I’m not putting you in a coma. Or worse having you have another heart attack.” Dan nodded. “That’s a hard no my boy. Not ever happening.”

“understood dear.” He answered. I smiled at him. “So how long am I here for?” I shrugged.

“doctor never told me.” I said honestly. “But uh how about some breakfast? Or did I miss that?” Dan shook his head.

“uh I think my wallets still on my pants if you wanna head to the cafeteria.” I nodded and hopped off the bed. I dug through the bag to get his wallet out of his pants pocket.

“success!” I cheered as I held it up. Dan laughed and looked around.

“where’s my…” he asked and I pulled his phone out of my pocket. “Oh. Thanks.” I leaned down and kissed him.

“I’ll be back soon.” I promised and headed out of the room. I took the elevator down to the main floor and checked my messages. Kevin was in the lobby with a bag for me. Abbie had picked up dans parents. Gurgs asked how Dan was and I responded that he was alright now. “Kevin!” I called as I walked over to the lobby. He hugged me tightly before passing off the bag. “Thank you. So much.”

“of course.” He kissed my temple. “He doing alright?” I nodded.

“Yeah. Heart attack.” I fiddled with the strap on the bag. “Blocked artery and stress. Dan had surgery and he’s alright now.” Kevin nodded.

“I could only find sweats and tshirts at your place for him. Hope that’s alright.” I nodded.

“yeah. That’s perfect. He won’t like it a whole lot but I’m not going to try to get him back in a suit after this for a while.” I looked through the bag quickly. “Thanks again kev. I owe you guys. Big time.”

“I’m taking a cab back to your place. Here’s your keys.” Kevin handed over my keys. “Im sure Dan would appreciate you driving him home instead of having to take a cab or something.” I nodded and hugged him again. “Text us when you can. We’re just gonna stay at yours.” I nodded again and waved as he left. Turning back towards the cafeteria, I pulled his wallet out of my pocket. I opened it to grab some cash when something caught my eye.

“what…” I pulled out a picture from the pocket. “He has a…when did he…” I stared at the picture of me, smiling at a book. Blinking at it a few times, a smile grew on my face. “He has a candid picture of me…reading…in his wallet.” I bit my lip and pulled out my phone. Taking a picture of it, I put it back and continued my search for cash.

“(Y/N)!” I looked up and found Abbie waving at me, an older couple next to her. I smiled and waved back.

“Hi Abbie.” I said waking over. “Hi. I don’t think I’ve had the privilege.” I held my hand out to the man in a wheelchair. “(Y/N) (Y/L/N), at your service.” The man looked over at the woman and shook my hand.

“bob Elmore.” He said with a smile. “And this here is my wife mucette.” I smiled at them and shook hands with his wife.

“nice to meet you dear.” I smiled stiffly at them, knowing where this was going.

“am I right in assuming that you’re dans parents?” I asked as I sat down next to abbie. Under the table, I texted Dan to let him know I ran into his parents and I’d be a bit longer. Mr. Elmore nodded.

“We are. When judge stone called, we got on the first flight here to see our Danny boy.” Mrs. Elmore said. I nodded with a smile. “If you mind me asking dear, who are you?” I looked over at Abbie and then down at my phone. There was one text and all it said was: ‘bring them up. I’ll explain.’

“why don’t I take you up to Dan and he can explain better than I can.” I offered. “Just let me grab some food and we’ll go right up.” They nodded and I ran over to grab something for the two of us to eat. “Abbie, you coming up?” I asked her as mrs. Elmore pushed mr. Elmore into the elevator. Abbie shook her head.

“I gotta go get some paperwork done. Tell him I said hi though.” I nodded as I got into the elevator and pushed the button for dans floor. It was a quiet and slightly awkward ride up. I balanced the tray as I knocked on the door and opened it. Smiling at Dan, I put the tray on the side table and kissed his cheek before his parents came in.

“Abbie says hi.” I whispered. He reached for my hand and squeezed it. “It’s alright. I just didn’t say who I was.” Dan nodded and raised my hand to his lips.

“it’s alright.” He whispered. Kissing my knuckles, he smiled up at me. A slight cough drew our attention to the end of the bed. Mr. Elmore raised an eyebrow at us and Mrs. Elmore had come to stand on the other side of the bed. She leaned over to kiss his cheek and brushed his hair back. “Mama. Mama. I’m alright.” He said as he cupped his cheeks, turning his head back and forth. I tried to stifle a laugh but the look on mr. Elmores face made it catch in my throat.

“oh Danny. Are you alright?” Dan leaned away from his mom, his shoulder bumped into mine.

“mama. I’m alright.” He whined.

“Mucette. The boy says he’s fine. Leave him be.” Mr. Elmore said. Mrs. Elmore stepped back with reluctance. “Danny boy, everything alright?” Dan nodded.

“everything’s alright daddy. Just a little heart attack.” Dan said. He squeezed my hand. “Another day and I’ll be home, I’m sure.” Dan looked at me and I shrugged.

“doctor hasn’t said anything to me.” I said.

“Danny, who is this girl?” Mrs. Elmore said. Dan looked at me and gave me a tight smile. I shook my head subtly at him.

“they,” Dan said, emphasizing the word. “Are my partner.” Dan kissed my hand again. “And I love them very much.” Mr. Elmore looked at me while mrs. Elmore stared at Dan.

“but she’s…” Mr. Elmore started.

“they! And barring that, use their name! (Y/N)!” Dan cried. He was panting and I immediately put my hand on his chest.

“Dan.” I warned. He tried to wave me off. “Reinhold.” His head snapped in my direction. “You just had surgery. You can’t…you need…please dan.” I said, worry in my eyes as I squeezed his arm. Sighing, dan nodded. He put his hand over mine and nodded again.

“you’re right.” He whispered. “You’re right.” Reaching up, he cupped my cheek. Rubbing his thumb against it, he smiled at me. “I’ll calm down.”

“(Y/N), could we have the room please dear?” Mrs. Elmore said. Dan held my hand tightly and shook his head.

“they leave, I might not. So no. (Y/N) won’t leave.” Dan said firmly. “Besides anything you have to say to me, you can say to them.” Dan tugged my hand and I sat down on the bed next to him.

“Aren’t…isn’t…” mrs. Elmore struggled with her words a bit before mr. Elmore stepped in.

“ain’t (Y/N) a bit young for you son?” Dan raised an eyebrow at his father.

“what’s your point?” He asked. “I love them. They make me happy.” Mrs. Elmore and Mr. Elmore shared a look. “What was I supposed to do after Sarah died? Stay miserable for the rest of my life?” Dans face fell when he saw the look his father was giving him.

“Danny boy…” mrs. Elmore said. Dan shook his head, pulling my hand into his lap and focusing on it.

“please leave.” He whispered.

“dan…” I whispered. He shook his head.

“Danny…” Mr. Elmore started.

“Just go. Please. I’ll…I’ll call you when I get out.” Dan said, never looking up from his lap. “Or abbie will. Thanks for checking up on me.” Dan looked over at me and smiled softly at me. I sighed as his parents left the room.

“Dan…” I shook my head and let go of his hand. “Mr. Elmore! Mrs. Elmore!” I called as I ran out after them. “I know you don’t exactly like it. But I love Dan. Very much so. His happiness is all that matters to me. He’s just irritable being stuck here. Hooked up to…all that.” I waved my hand behind me at the door. “Dan also loves you guys very much. I know he does. I…” I looked back at the room and sighed. “When I heard Dan had collapsed, I was with friends. Because he made me go. And I thought I was going to lose him. I screamed and cried and my friend broke so many traffic laws just to get me here. When he woke up, I was so relieved. Just because it meant I got more time with him.” The two shared a look. “I know I don’t have much time with him and I’ve accepted that. I don’t like it but I’ve accepted it. I know he’s older than me. I know not everyone gets it. I know people think it’s weird with the age gap and then I’m queer on top of it.” I shrugged. “But Dan doesn’t care about any of that. And I don’t either. We love each other. And he’s happy.” I smiled at them. “I hope that’s enough. That he’s happy. But if it’s not, I’m sorry. But I’m not going anywhere without a fight. I love Dan too much not to fight for what we have. But I also know that he wants you in his life. Without the fighting. Even if he won’t admit it out loud. You don’t have to like it. Just,” I sighed and tugged on the piece of fabric around my wrist. “Give it a chance. For dans sake.” Mrs. Elmore looked at me before coming over and hugging me.

“Danny boy is all we really have. So for him…” she said. I nodded.

“I understand that.” I said. “Thank you.” Mr. Elmore nodded.

“He’s lucky to have someone like you by his side.” He admitted. I nodded and ducked my head. “Let him know we’re open to meeting again after he gets out of here.”

“thank you sir. I will.” Mr. Elmore smiled at me. I watched the two of them head to the elevator before going back into the room.

“come here.” Dan held his hand out to me. I smiled at him and took his hand. “I heard all that.” Dan kissed me gently. “Thank you.” I nodded and sat down on the bed again.

“I’m going to find the doctor. Need to know when I can take you home.” I said, changing the subject.

“already called for a nurse.” Dan said with a smile. “I can’t wait to get out of here.” I nodded.

“I wanna hug you properly. Without worrying about tugging something out on accident.” I waved a hand at him and he nodded. The nurse came in and Dan asked for the doctor. We are in silence while we waited. When the doctor came in, I stepped back and let him look over Dan.

“when can I go home?” Dan asked, his eyes flicking over to me.

“hopefully later today. We just want to be sure that there aren’t any complications from the surgery.” Dan nodded. “Is there someone that can stay with you in case you need anything?”

“I can.” I raised my hand slightly. “I’m going to be taking him home and staying with him.” The doctor nodded.

“good. Now mr. Fielding, no strenuous activity. Try not to bend over for a week. And follow up with your primary care around that time as well.” Dan nodded.

“one last question.” He said with a smirk in my direction. My eyes went wide and I shook my head. “When can I have sex again?”

“Dan.” I groaned softly. I felt my cheeks heating up and covered my face. The doctor chuckled and looked at me out of the side of his eye.

“Within a few weeks normally. But that’s something you are going to want to discuss with your primary care.” The doctor said. Dan nodded while sending me a wink behind the doctors back. I narrowed my eyes at him as the doctor left the room.

“reinhold! You ass!” I cried as he started laughing. Dan reached out for me and I begrudgingly walked over.

“I love you.” He said once I was sitting next to him again. Sighing, I leaned my head against his.

“I love you too.” I whispered back. We sat in silence for a while before I pulled away. “So Elmore. Reinhold Daniel Elmore?” Dan shook his head with a chuckle.

“actually it’s reinhold Daniel fielding Elmore. Got it legally changed before I married Sarah.” Dan admitted. “Should have done it in law school but it was easier to just say my names dan fielding and that was that. Time went on, it got harder so I made it official. Plus I didn’t want Sarah to find out that way.” I nodded.

“did you ever tell her?” Dan nodded.

“two nights before we got married.” He chuckled. “She laughed. Then realized I was telling the truth. Never used it though.”

“not like me.” I laughed. Dan nodded and kissed my cheek.

“not like you do.” He agreed. We spent the rest the day going through the tests dan needed to do and a couple meetings with other doctors. Dan was given the all clear just before dinner. He got dressed while I signed him out. “Thank goodness your friend had the foresight to not bring a suit.” I nodded.

“figured you would be more comfortable with this than a suit.” Dan nodded and I went into the bathroom to change. “Going to take a nice long shower when we get to yours.” Dan nodded as he spotted the wheelchair. “Dan, don’t. It’s policy. Just shut up and get in.” Dan nodded and I went down first to bring my car around. He was pouting when I pulled up and helped him in. “Oh shut up.”

“I didn’t say anything.” He grumbled. I laughed and started the drive over. “Am I going to meet your friends?” He asked as we passed my apartment complex.

“Uh…we could stop in. I would have to grab a few things anyway…” i trailed off as I sat at a red light.

“I’ll be ok. Let’s go meet them.” He assured me. I nodded slowly.

“alright. Let’s go meet my friends.” I turned around first chance I got and headed back.

🥤 - for the ask meme?

this one is asking about fic recommendations, so sure i have a few. i've mostly been reading sally face fanfiction recently, as that's been the most recent fixation, but i'll try to include other fandoms, too.

(SF) misery fell by bluebottles is a great fic about sal and larry and travis becoming involved with each other after sal starts trying to help travis graduate. it follows canon quite a bit while obviously deviating for the sake of shipping, lol, but that makes this one feel pretty grounded in the source material.

(SF) bridges left to burn by 8ethespider8itch is a little more out there, where sal is in his 20s and moving to nockfell to start college, but oops, a good 80% of nockfellians are also monsters, including larry, travis and ash, the three of which are vampires. it's been a minute since i've picked this one up so i can't exactly remember the plot, but i remember really enjoying the concepts this one threw out, especially the collective trauma in how ash, larry, travis, (and others, iirc) became vampires, but i won't spoil that.

(SF) camp cornerstone by documentserver is the one i've been making my way through most recently, where sal and ash accidentally convince the rest of their friends to go to a church camp for the summer. even worse is the fact that the camp was being funded by the phelps ministry, so travis also has to be there against his will. i'm about halfway through and it's a really fun story so far. i can really appreciate the author being able to draw from their own life experiences as a lesbian to describe travis's inner turmoil with the fight between his faith and his homosexuality.

(DST) heart shaped box is a great fic exploring a ship i personally pioneered, which is wes/charlie. it's the only fic in the wes/charlie tag on ao3 that isn't mine, and i can appreciate that greatly. it's a fic that explores charlie's thoughts about wes back when she was still the grue, when maxwell was on the throne, and how she comes to the box he's kept in at nighttime. she talks to him, but even though he can never reply, she still hopes to free him herself one day. it's very sweet.

(MP100) reigen 1/2 by chubbyhornedequine is a fic i haven't checked up on in a while, i really need to, because the concept is frankly amazing. the idea is inspired by ranma 1/2, but instead of switching genders, reigen falls into a cursed pool and therefore whenever he's doused with water, he turns into a cat. it's just amazing, brilliant, please read it.

(MP100) area hysteria by c_c_cherry is a fic that i THOUGHT was finished somewhere around chapter 10, but apparently it's got a handful of chapters to go still. it's an amazing fic where reigen gets caught in the collapse of an old building for a couple of days, and then gets lost inside his own head. mob and dimple have to go in after his coma starts in order to save him. this fic does a great job at describing the reactions and behaviors of the other characters in the wake of reigen's disappearance, serizawa suddenly being in charge and not knowing what to do about it, mob having a meltdown, ritsu's terrified and realistic reactions to mob's freaking out, and much, much more. it's so good, i have to pick it up again and see what the new chapters have put out.

ok that's a bit of a long list but there you go. i haven't read any creepypasta fics recently so i can't recommend any of those, but if anyone has some fics to recommend me go straight ahead :)

Hope you enjoy the last chapter.

Epilogue

It was late in the evening by the time the gang arrived back in Domino. Seto had arranged transport for everyone, ensuring that they all got home safely.

Joey called his mom the moment he got home to inform her about the money he had won and that Serenity could have her operation. The woman was surprised but she was grateful for the turn of events, even if she was still estranged from her son.

Tristian and Téa went home and got scolded by their parents. Apparently the teens had forgotten to inform anyone that they were going to the island with Yugi and Joey. Oops.

Seto and Mokuba went to Kaiba Corp, needing to deal with the men that had tried to take over the company. The CEO came up with a unique way to deal with them. Roland had made the arrangements while the brothers were gone.

The brunets sat in his office as the Big 5 were dragged away by his personal security (Roland hiring them back, Seto really needed to give the man a raise). He was working on his computer, trying to uncover everything that the board members had changed and revert it back. Turn out they had made a big mess, but nothing he couldn’t handle. He looked over at Mokuba who had fallen asleep on the couch, empty take-out food containers on the coffee table. He got up and walked over to the sleeping child, taking off his purple trench coat and laying it over the boy. He ruffled his hair before walking back to his desk and sitting down…he feels something in his pocket, confused for a moment as he reached in and pulled out Lillian’s necklace. He realizes he forgot to give it back to her.

He smiled to himself as he held the pendent in his hand, thinking about her. They had agreed on the flight home that they would take care of a few things when they got home before spending some time together. As much as he wanted to keep her to himself, he understood they both had responsibilities they needed to attend to, for Seto it was his company and little brother and for Lillian it was her grandfather and mother. It was just the results of being an adult…well almost an adult. He step the necklace back in his pocket, he would make a plan to get I back to her. He wanted to make a grand gesture, do something big…

He shut down his computer and leaned back in his chair, turning it around and looked out at the vast city lights that shone through the window.

Lillian and Yugi had headed home. Masami was over joyed when her children stepped through the door, hugging them tightly as she was relieved to have them back safe…she gave them the good news that grandpa had woken up from his coma earlier that day and that he was doing well. The doctor even stating that they could take him home tomorrow. The siblings were over joyed, acting as if it was some kind of miracle and not some form of ancient Egyptian magic.

The family ad dinner together before going to their separate rooms, Yugi fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow, his exhaustion finally catching up with him. He found himself in his soul room however. He looked around confused for a moment before hearing a knock at the door. Smiling, he got and went to answer it, finding Yami standing the hallway. He invited the other into his room, the taller teen stepping inside, looking around the room that looked so different from his. Yugi sat on the bed, patting the spot beside him. Yami strolled over and sat beside the boy, the two of them falling into a comfortable conversation with each other about the events that had transpired over the last few days.

Lillian walked into her room and set her bag down. She ran her fingers through her hair as she let out a yawn before removing her shirt, wanting to put on something more comfortable before she went to bed. She realized that both her necklaces were missing. Well not necessarily missing, she knew her mother’s one was still in her brother’s possession but the other…she had caught a glimpse of the other on the screen while she was forced to watch the duel between Seto and her brother. Maybe Seto still had it…or at least she hoped. She couldn’t believe she had forgotten about it. But then again her mind had been on everything else that had been going on.

She walked over to her bag and pulled out the envelope that held the two divine beasts. She removed the cards and stared at them for a moment, not noticing her shadow slowly changing shape behind her. What was she supposed to do with these things? She didn’t really play duel monsters and why did Pegasus design a card after her? She didn’t understand. Did the man know more than he was letting on? She didn’t know…

She opened one of her desk drawers and pulled out the deck she used when playing against her brother and grandpa during game nights. She looked at the two cards before adding them to her deck, placing it back safely in the drawer before closing it. Who knows…they might come in handy someday. She turned around, her shadow returning to normal as she walked over to her closet to look for something to wear.

Eventually after a week everything had returned to normal…mostly anyways. Seto had finally cleaned house and removed the board members that he didn’t want around anymore and had fixed all the changes that had been made while he was away. And even though he didn’t get to see Lillian much, they still poke over the phone every night. It was on one of those nights that the girl had invited him and Mokuba to have dinner with her family. It came out of nowhere but he supposed he would have to meet them at some point…well her parents anyways since he already met her brother and grandfather.

Speaking of which he probably needed to apologies to the old man for what he did. He was not looking forward to that conversation. But it needed to be done.

He agreed to come over Friday night, making sure he’s schedule was clear for the day and putting things in place for a surprise for his blue eyed girl.

Yugi was woken up early Friday morning, groaning as he rolled out of bed. He got dressed for school, the ghostly figure of Yami sitting on the bed as he watched the boy move about his room. It became a normal thing for the spirit to apparat around Yugi while the boy was busy. Some would say it was creepy but the short teen didn’t, he liked the spirits company. Yami was witty and it was fun teaching him about modern day items and concepts. Yugi had to keep in a laugh at the taller teen’s reaction to a toaster. He face he made when the bread popped out of the machine was hilarious.

Yugi made his way downstairs, frowning when he saw his mom and sister where busy in the kitchen, the counters covered in bowls, containers and food; Lillian was busy kneading some dough, a bit of flour covered her face and arms, her hair tied back in messy bun. Their mother was mixing some ground pork and spices, she wore an apron and had a few dustings of flour on herself too. Lillian looked up when she heard her brother walk in, “Morning Yugi. How did you sleep?” she smiled as she dusted the flour from her hands. The teen walked over to the fridge and pulled out an apple for breakfast, “Um I slept ok…what’s going on here?” Masami glanced at her son for a moment before retuning her attention to what she was mixing, “Your sister has invited some friends to dinner.” Yugi raised a brow as he looked at Lillian, “Friends?”

“Yeah…Seto and Mokuba…” Lillian mumbled as she started tearing off pieces of the dough and forming them into flat round shapes. Her little brother nearly dropped the apple he had been eating, “Um ok…why though and when were you going to tell me this?” she spoke as her mother starts to spooning out the pork mix and pouring it onto the rounded pieces of dough, “Because we haven’t seen each other in a week and I thought it would be a good idea for mom to meet them…since you know the secret is out that we have known each other for years.” Lillian picked up the balls and closed them, making sure they were formed properly, her mother helping her, “How you managed to keep it from us for all these years is remarkable.” She nudged her daughter, the girl rolling her eyes.

“We had a good reason to keep it secret. But that’s been taken care of and they can be part of all the aspects of my life.” Lillian turned her attention to her brother, “And before you ask, yes grandpa is aware he’s coming over. And he’s not too happy about it…although he’s been a foul mood for 2 days now…not sure why.” She started putting the buns onto a baking tray as her mother leaves the room for a moment.

Yugi frowns at his sister, “Is mom aware that Seto’s the one that put grandpa in the hospital?” she nods, “I told mom everything…well not everything since I don’t think mom is ready for all this Egyptian magic mumbo jumbo. She was a little sceptical at first but I explained he’s changed…and she would like to meet him…” she starts to clean the counter, “Does she also know that you two are a ‘thing’?” the boy asked with a smirk. Lillian pouted as she walked over to the fridge and pulled out a bento, taking it to her brother, “No she does not. And you aren’t going to say a thing about it.”

The short teen giggled as he took the container, “And what if I do?” A mischievous grinned formed on the girls face, “I’ll put your puzzle and duel monsters cards on top of the fridge where you can’t reach.” The boy’s eyes widen, “You wouldn’t dare.”

“Try me little brother.” She chuckled before kissing her forehead, “Now go. You’re going to be late.” She watched as the short teen ran off to grab his things, a fond smile on the girls face.

The day at school was…interesting. Yugi and his friends met a new student named Duke Devlin, the new owner of the new game shop that was stealing grandpa’s customers. Joey decided to challenge him to a duel to get him to close his shop (and because the guy insulted him).

Yugi went home after school and changed into some casual clothes before joining his friends at Duke’s shop. He leads them inside and showed them around before taking them down to a duel arena. He ends beating Joey and forcing the blond to become his personal slave…even dressing him as a dog…

Turned out Duke was trying to trick Yugi into duelling him to prove that the short teen cheated when he defeated Pegasus (who was supposed to indorse his Dungeon dice monsters game before duellist kingdom)…because that makes sense…

Yugi ends up letting Yami take over to face Duke…forgetting that he needed to be somewhere…

Lillian and her mother had finished preparing dinner and cleaned the house, leaving the girl plenty of time to get ready. She put on a soft blue sun dress that reached her knees with off the shoulder sleeves, white sandals and a blue choker. Her mother helped her to put her hair in a long elegant French braid, leaving a few strands hanging on either side of her face. She even went as far as applying some eyeliner. She wasn’t the type of girl to dress up like this but it was a special night…and Yugi was still not home.

When he had arrived home after school to change, he informed her that he and his friends will be hanging out for a bit and promised he would be home by 5…it was almost 6 and the Kaiba brother’s would be arriving soon. Lillian was not happy. She left the house to look for him and give him an earful.

It didn’t take long for her to find him, spotted him walking out of the new game shop that had opened a few days ago. He was with his friends and some guy she didn’t recognise. Yugi smiled when he saw his sister but his smile quickly fade when he saw the angry expression on her face, he suddenly remembers that he was late. He quickly said goodbye to his friends before rushing over to Lillian, “I…I’m sorry. I—“

Lillian raised her hand, “You can explain later. Right now we need to get home…” she turned, heading back home. Yugi stood in place, looking at the floor as he felt bad for being late. Lillian realized that Yugi wasn’t with her, she turned around and her expression softened seeing the boy just standing there. She walked back to him and rested her hand on his shoulder, gently lifting his chin so he could look at her, “Its ok Yugi.” She moved some of his bangs out of his face, “I’m sure you had a good reason for being late. We’ll talk a bit later ok?” the boy nodded with a soft smile.

She took his hand and they walked back to the game shop together. There was a limo parked outside the game shop by the time the siblings arrived home. They quickly headed upstairs and were met with a heart-warming if somewhat strange sight. Seto was sitting on the couch with a glass of water in his hand, Masami sitting beside him, a smile on her face as she was busy telling the billionaire stories of Yugi and Lillian from when they were little. The brunet seemed to be listening intently to the woman.

Mokuba was sitting on the floor at the coffee with grandpa playing duel monsters, the old man seemed to be showing the younger Kaiba brother a few tips and tricks. Lillian and Yugi couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Masami was the first to see the brother and sister, “It’s about time you two arrived.” She said with a smile as the other 3 people in the room turned to the siblings, Mokuba waving at the two of them as well as grandpa. Seto looks at the two of them, a rare smile on his face, admiring how beautiful his beloved looked tonight, “Decided to finally join us?” he asked as he sipped his water. Pulled from their initial shock, Yugi and Lillian smiled as they joined the others in the living room…

The evening went better than Yugi thought it would. He saw the side of Kaiba that Lillian was always talking about, he made no snarky remarks, no insults, he even ended up having a conversation with grandpa about duel monsters and apologized for hospitalizing the old man and ripping up his card, even offering to find a way to fix it which grandpa was taken aback by but ended up giving his torn card to the teen, Solomon putting what happened in the past and looked forward to getting to know him in the future and hoping that they could possibly go into business together one day.

Yugi and Mokuba actually discovered they had a lot in common; the both loved capsule monsters, board games and puzzles. Both their favourite food was burgers and had a massive sweet tooth. They ended up playing cards in the living room Masami, grandpa, Seto and Lillian were sitting on the couches laughing and telling stories.

Seto had to admit he enjoyed the evening. He couldn’t remember the last time he enjoyed a family dinner…the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you are surrounded by people that care about you and love you…he watched his brother laughing and playing with his new friend (who Seto couldn’t believe was the kid he once considered his rival…maybe he still did in a way but now was not the time to think about that). He had been surprised at how friendly Mr. Muto had been towards him, forgiving him so easily despite what he did…this was all so new to him, to be treated with kindness…He would’ve been insulted for having these feelings but here he was accepted. Maybe it was time for him to move on from his past, to move on from his grief and trauma…and rather look to the future he could have…he looked at Lillian, admiring the smile on her face and the glances she wold give him, a spark of love for him in her eyes…he reached over and took her hand, intertwining their fingers, thinking of the future he wanted with her.

YOUR BIG BRAIN!! THIS WAS SO INTERESTING TO READ! HELPS EXPLAIN MORE STUFF. I learned that the fire was a dream. SO HOBI IS AN EVIL BITCH?!  “He sinks lower, lying over you, his body melting into yours until you feel him everywhere inside you.” OUT OF CONTEXT, WHAT DOES THAT MAKE YOU THINK OF? Hobi is toxic, I’m sorry.” THIS DREAM SCARED TF OUT OF ME AND MADE ME SEE RED FLAGS. He’s willing to hurt her. The toxic “I want to totally be one with you” mindset? (my horny thought is creampp*e...again dont judge) OMG I would be manipulated so easily. I didn’t realize all the toxic/negative aspects in the dreams. I didn’t realize the sa dreams had sa in them...Only one I thought maybe was for the lab one. Also not Yoongi being a toxic ex. He’s my bias :/ I thought that he was a good person and then was being a fake friend. He was an asshole to mc irl wtf ew omg. Poor mc. And then she fell for toxic af Hobi ugh. Ohh I thought the mad scientist dream was an explanation that Jimin actually experimented on Hobi and gave him these powers before. And Jimin was an evil bitch too. I thought pandora’s was super dangerous and would break her mind? It was more of a memory or uncontrollable dream because it contains intense sadness? It was nice that Hobi helped her out of it. The maze explanation?!! I was like “Aw that’s so cute. They’re working together!” Oops no I’m an idiot. Hobi was breaking her?! At least the chaotic dreams became happy, fun ones at the end of the original fic... (oh no i thought of what if he gets angry again a while after typing this sentence. no i will believe that they both choose happy escapism in the coma...) 

Day Dream | JHS - Dream Analysis

Me, analyzing my own character's dreams in my own story because why not :'D.

This was written to help plot out the story for Day Dream. I wrote a lot lol so I thought might as well share it with yall! This analysis is kind of heavy, but if you really want to understand her story, here ya go. THAT BEING SAID, you don't have to view the story so dark if you don't want to. I would love to hear your own interpretations!

You might be asking yourself why put so much effort into a smut fic, my answer is I don't fucking know :D

---

Night at the Inn

Some dreams are more obvious. Y/n doesn’t want to bother her sleeping boyfriend so she fantasizes about having sex with him instead, dreaming about her own “dream vacation.” So, she was dreaming about a time in her life where she made one of her dreams come true, now making that experience into a dream when it all really started as a dream, and around and round we go, and that’s basically the plot, the end, badamtisk.

The Fire

Let’s go back a bit, the first dream that happened was never explained. Y/n woke up with a nagging sense that a dream happened, she just couldn’t remember. This is a common occurrence for people, but that doesn’t make the dream any less impactful, as it was the first time Hoseok entered her dreams and decided he wanted to stay. The heat of the bedroom made her dream about being trapped in a burning building. She screamed and screamed for help, and Hobi heard her, prompting him to tell her she was “the loudest” when answering why he chose her. Once he entered the dream, she put him into the role of a firefighter, boosting his egotm. If a sexy Hoseok firefighter saved your life, what would you do hmm? Can you blame y/n for showing her “gratitude” in a very ahem, steamy way... This starts a chain reaction. Y/n wakes up horny and goes on to dream of the inn and Hoseok wants to experience moretm.

Snowfall

Y/n is hot, so she dreams about it being cold. She’s not very “imaginative,” in that sense, even when she knows it’s a dream. That will change later!

Idoltm

Y/n fantasizes about being famous and rich and desired, which I think it’s a pretty common fantasy. But nowhere in her fantasy is her current boyfriend. Does that mean she doesn’t love him or see a future with him? Not really, she doesn’t see herself ever becoming famous either. But it does give Hoseok the perfect opening to invade her dreams again and form prejudices about her, which is why most of their dreams together are, well, physical.

Nine to Five

Y/n dreams about confiding in her old friend Seokjin at a cafe, a way to calm her nerves about all the strange dreams she’s experiencing. It was also a way to deal with her anxiousness about reaching out to a friend she lost touch with. A trial run so to speak. Again, the dream is not very imaginative. She’s reliving her own life, going to work, going to a familiar café, but it starts to devolve once Hoseok gets involved. She starts to feel guilt again over dreaming about other men, and ends up “cheating” on her dream boyfriend, Hoseok still doesn’t have much respect for her and doesn’t care about fucking with her.

Seokjin’s character shows the fight for dominance going on between the dreamer and dream walker with his actions. Through Jin her subconscious is trying to help her. He shows how even though Hoseok can manipulate her, in the end her mind protects her from the foreign intruder. Again she’s not very creative about it lol making herself into a superhero to “fight him off” very unsuccessfully.

Spaceship Hope

TW: SA. The space ship dream was much more symbolic, and so are her following dreams. The dream is actually about why y/n and Yoongi are no longer together. Their relationship was very toxic and he coerced her into having sex with him because it “hurt too much” to stop. Y/n might have been the commander of the space station, her dream and her mind, but Hoseok was right in telling her he was Captain, the one who really knew how to control the ship, the dream. She put her boyfriend Namjoon into the role of co-commander, an equal, and she made Yoongi a repair officer, the good helpful man she knew him as when they first started dating. But like their relationship, her dream turned into a nightmare, Yoongi turned into a monster who did not care about y/n and only cared about his own sexual gratification. When she no longer gave him what he wanted, he escaped through the space pod, and her heart broke all over again.

At this point did Hoseok miss her because she’s been avoiding sleep? Is he getting too close to her, starting to have feelings? Ehh...but we want to see him be a good guy, right? So does y/n, which is why he walks right into the part of her protector, fighting off Yoongi, even if it is still for his own selfish reasons. Their relationship is still very physical.

Club More

Club more is not really visited in the story, apart from the music and red light referenced. Club More plus all the other places Hoseok and y/n discuss show how close they have become, living out multiple fantasies with each other, engaging in kinks y/n likes that even her loving boyfriend does not know about.

Shoutout to airplane bathroom Hobi and the iconic fanfiction Flight 18

The Mad Scientist And The Monster In The Cave

Running is a very common dream action for people experiencing stress, and y/n at this point is beyond stressed. Subconsciously she sees Jimin as bad influence by his friendship with Hoseok even though he is nothing but nice to her in real life. Y/n still blames him for releasing “the monster” into her life. Jungkook, the receptionist, who she associates with Namjoon, she dreams as good and a trusting friend. She is still “running” to Namjoon at this point.

Experiment 613B

TW: SA This is a culmination of all her guilt and fears and trauma manifesting itself into a situation where she loses control of everything, her body, her desires, her thoughts, as she is forced into sex with another man again.

Love Motel Red

Now that y/n has met Hoseok in real life, she has a reference already created in her mind and thus can remember him no matter what.

TW: SA the ending to this dream to me shows how Hobi is a villain, a menace, truly toxic like her ex. Hoseok gets angry she is rejecting him and calling him out, and everything about what he does to her is just pure violence. “He sinks lower, lying over you, his body melting into yours until you feel him everywhere inside you.” OUT OF CONTEXT, WHAT DOES THAT MAKE YOU THINK OF? Hobi is toxic, I'm sorry.

Boxing Match/Wrestling Showdown!

The dreaming has become hopeless in a way that she can’t let go of Hoseok as much as he can't let go of her. She lied to Namjoon in the phone call and it was the beginning to her downfall. In the dream she uses Namjoon as a placeholder to fight Hoseok in boxing and just forgets about him once the dream shifts, consumed with Hoseok and his over-the-top captivating personality which really shines as a wrestler. They spiral down into a toxic fight, mirroring their real confrontation. It just shows how violence is never the answer…

The Newlywed Game

Namjoon should have been sitting next to y/n and Hoseok should have been part of another couple, but he's not! He's sitting right there next to her! She couldn't help herself in the end, she chose a toxic partner instead. She wanted to beat him, so she had to stoop to his level. It worked, but at what cost? She ended up right back at that Love Motel Nightmare.

We do learn more about Hoseok, he's more humanized, because y/n is "falling" for the dream, falling for him, letting him manipulate her and letting her insecurities consume her.

SAND To SEA To SAND

Y/n and Hoseok are fully down the rabbit hole, falling through different dreams. The dreams are no longer rooted in any sort of reality, shifting and changing quickly to meet each other's needs. She falls so deeply she finds a way into her subconcious through the Pandora's boxtm

The Maze

Another reoccurring dream, Hoseok and y/n are fully into the fantasy play, enjoying their roles, having fun and working as a team. There is really no way out of the maze but to go deeper. Her aggression (lion) is tamed, her desire for freedom (eagle) is let go, the restrictions of her mind (vines) are broken.

The dreams start to reveal their childhoods, y/n’s mother was also in a toxic relationship, Hoseok was always deeply into escapism via the arcade and his toys. It is a cycle that y/n nor Hobi unfortunately could not break.

Hoseok’s Day Dreams

Slowly, she is allowing the dream walker to dream with her, and it all just becomes a game at the end, the horrors of the situation are entirely overshadowed by the wonders of Dreamworld. How could a person ever go back to walking in reality once they learn how to fly?

I stayed up too late.

platonic stobin + cozy by the fire for the spooky szn fic prompts!!

friend, i hope you enjoy this! its more of a drabble than a fic, but i wanted to finally get it to you because if i stare at it any longer i am going to hit select all and delete it

Halloween fell on a Friday night in 1986. Steve is glad. Halloweens that fell on weekend nights were better than any other night. When he was a child it meant sleeping in after eating too much candy. When he was a teenager it meant sleeping in because he was hungover. 

Robin, Steve, Nancy, Eddie, Argyle, and Jonathan were all around the crackling, cozy fire in Steve’s backyard. The air is a crisp 62 degrees and the kids are in Steve’s living room sleeping off a candy coma. Robin could hear one of them snoring loudly and the static noise from the television saying their movie had ended. 

Steve reaches over to the bag of candy in Robin’s lap (she stole it from Mike, haha!) and digs around looking for something specific. “Where’s the Kit-Kats!” Steve mutters. 

“In my tummy,” Robin whispers and then giggles. 

Steve looks over at her with an expression of betrayal. “You ate them? All?” He whispers. 

“They are delicious.” 

Steve pouts. 

“Oh, oops, wrong verb tense.” Robin pats her belly. “Were. They were so delicious.” Steve gives her his bitchiest bitch face and she snorts a giggle. 

“Rude,” Steve mutters and looks at Eddie asleep on his shoulder. Robin readjusts her position and accidentally, but softly, elbows his ribs. “Ouch! Hey, Robs, you gotta move your legs, my thigh is falling asleep,” Steve says and Robin’s elbow nudges his ribs, a bit too hard. “Ow!” 

“Are you saying I am too heavy?” 

“No, I am saying my thigh is falling asleep,” Steve grunts as he tries to move his left leg out from under Robin’s legs, but it is useless. He takes one last drag of the blunt Eddie rolled for them and snubs it out on the armrest of the couch. 

“I can’t move my legs because Nance is sleeping.” Robin reaches down and twirls some of Nancy’s hair around her finger. Nancy was the first to fall asleep, sitting on one of the ottomans, her legs laid across part of the patio couch and were currently being used as a pillow for Argyle and Jonathan. 

Jonathan and Argyle are also snoring softly to the right of Robin. The two of them are cuddled up against each other on the second patio couch. Argyle is apparently the small spoon in that relationship. Robin thought it was cute. 

Honestly, all six of them are disgustingly adorable. If Robin wasn’t so in love with Nance and had her and Steve never worked at Scoops, it was the kind of dynamic she would judge so hard. No way would she be the King of Hawkins High’s best “platonic soulmate” friend who is now annoyingly in love with an almost thrice convicted murderer metal head, while madly in love with said platonic soulmate’s ex-high school sweetheart Nancy Wheeler who used to date loner Johnathan Byers who is now dating the most adorable pothead from Cali. But, here she was. And here they all were. Tangled up together but spread across two patio chairs and a patio couch. 

Robin would give all the Kit-Kats in the world to whoever understood that string of words. 

“I think we should go as the Scooby gang next year.” Robin says to Steve. 

“Oh!” Steve picks out a Kit-Kat Robin must have missed and unwraps it. “The Scooby gang? Why?” He breaks one stick off and hands it down to Robin. 

Robin takes it and plops it in her mouth. Chewing, she answers. “Because, look at us.” She motions around them. “We are so codependent and, I mean, we do solve crimes. Argyle even drives us around in his van when Eddie’s van is in the shop.” She chuckles. 

Steve drops his head back and looks at the cloudy night sky. “Who would I be?” 

“Fred, obviously. I’m Thelma. Nance is Daphne.” 

“Eds would be Shaggy or would Jonathan be Shaggy?” Steve twirls his fingers through Eddie’s hair. 

“Jonathan would be Shaggy.” She giggled. “His hair looks identical to Shaggy.” 

“Okay, so then, what? Eddie is Scooby? Who’s Argyle going to be?” 

Robin thought about it for a moment. “Hmmm, Eddie is Scooby, Argyle is… the van! His van looks more like the Mystery Machine than Eddie’s.” 

Steve’s laugh pulled his head back in an upright position. He looked down at Eddie and smiled. He wasn’t sure if Eddie would sign off on dressing up as a dog, but they had a whole year to convince him. “So, that mean you’re the Thelma to my Fred, Robs?” He dropped the mostly empty, mostly full of empty wrappers, candy bag on the grass and reached to tousle Robin’s hair. 

“I mean, duh,” She looked over her shoulder at him and pressed her finger to his nose. “Boop!”

[asinfinitum]

So for the first four episodes (until the end of the fourth), Hibiki is basically "out of commission" because her ideals are, once again, challenged and she's had no trouble fighting up until Carol said something. Suddenly, she's thinking her power is only to save people and not fight, which is a stark contrast to the prior two seasons where she was actually up to punching Ver and almost punched Finé.

Instead of, you know, continuing to follow prior season ideals.

So, she loses her "will to fight" and gets pissy because Maria used Gungnir to PROTECT HER, MIKU AND MIKU'S FRIENDS from Garie. "This power is only to save people!"

Forgetting she already knows that you can't save everyone. She knows this from prior experience. But she's forgotten it already. So, she doesn't sing, she is useless on the side because "the protagonist does too much" and instead of having her helping out, she doesn't do a damn thing but be useless in these situations because she's suddenly challenged.

She only gets the ability to sing back because Miku "encourages" her and tells her that her songs don't hurt people. THAT WAS NEVER THE POINT IN THE FIRST PLACE. For the past two seasons, Hibiki has sung to protect those she can. But she never once thought her songs hurt people. Shirabe challenged her in Season 2, and Carol now. But Carol's suddenly make her lose her will to fight for... some unknown reason.

And it's for all of two-three minutes before Micha destroys Gungnir. Hibiki acts like she's been attacked physically. Like she's being hurt instead of just the converter pendant. When it breaks, her eyes are dead.

Like this. For no reason. And she's "in a coma" for a week after this. Sure, she fell from a high height but losing Gungnir was not that damaging as it's made out to be. We can put this off to shock but, again, Hibiki is "unconscious and unresponsive" for no reason. She just got the ability to use Gungnir back (which she never should've lost in the first place, that was stupid) and then it's taken from her.

It'd be more believable if she'd been the only one capable of fighting the whole time, and had done so. Worn herself down because she was the only one able to sing and use her Gear. Then, and only then, could I believe Hibiki fell into a coma via exhaustion. Because she needed to recover, being the only Gear wielder left.

But no, we're given no reason beyond "Hibiki got hit and her gear lost, oops she's in a coma now" WHEN NO OTHER WIELDER GETS THIS TREATMENT. If you want to put the Protagonist out of action, make it believable.

Jiminy fucking Christmas.

So there's one thing I don't get from Season 3, and that's Hibiki's "coma". She didn't actually get hurt, she just lost her gear but her reaction was to... scream like she got hurt? And then become "comatose" because she lost her gear.

Holy bad writing.

WIPWED: Festering Edition: 6/2/21: Smutember Fantasy

@bloody-no-kissu @amstupid0-0 hehehehe y'all found the Oops Baby 😂

So back when I started the Smutember Prompts, I was not doing this one, too. But then a Plunny Bit, and y'all should know by now I have zero self-control.

So remember when Sandman showed up and brought all the nightmares to life? This one has an akuma named Sweet Dreams, who just wants everyone to have good dreams. The problem is, if you get hit and succumb to your dream/fantasy, you then slip into a coma and won't wake up until the akuma is defeated. Knowing she can't afford to get hit, Ladybug calls on Viperion's help.

The problem? Luka was in the middle of his own sweet dream when Ladybug showed up, and really hopes he doesn't get hit himself...

(More M than E below the cut - limey fresh at best~)

“I don’t like this plan,” Viperion said, narrowed eyes landing on the utility shed they had thrown Chat Noir into not five minutes prior. Ladybug sighed, shifting beside him.

“Do you have a better one?” she asked, fidgeting with her yoyo. A really indecent sound that had his partner blushing but set his teeth on edge echoed from the shed.

At least someone was enjoying themselves.

“Not really,” he sighed, tapping his fingers anxiously against his knees. “Still doesn’t mean I have to like this one.”

“You’re grumpy tonight,” Ladybug said, shooting him a small smirk. He at least smiled back at her.

“I was in the middle of a really good dream when you came calling, Mlle. Bug,” he said. She snorted and looked back at the street below them.

“You said it was intense, not good,” she chided, scanning the street for the akuma. He couldn’t help the wry little grin that twisted his lips as he tried not to think too hard about his dream. Running here with her had done wonders cooling him off, but he knew he was one errant thought from…

“Maybe it was both,” he hummed, shaking his head slightly to clear it. He could revisit his dream later – he had to focus.

“Maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll get hit,” she said, and from her tone he could tell she was teasing him. That didn’t stop his back from feeling like a bucket of ice had been dumped down his suit. “Then you can go back to it.”

As another indecent moan – that sounded too much like M’lady! for either of their comfort – sounded from the shed, Viperion had to admit that was exactly what he was afraid of.

Hawkmoth’s latest akuma was called Sweet Dreams and, as far as they could tell, simply wanted people to enjoy their sleep. From what Ladybug and Chat Noir had gathered before bringing Viperion in, the victim was a young woman who’d been kept up the past few nights by thin walls and noisy neighbors. Hawkmoth had given her the ability to give everyone pleasant dreams, in return for the Miraculous of Ladybug and Chat Noir, of course.

What that had ended up looking like, at least in Chat Noir’s case, was a Ladybug with a modified (skimpy) supersuit, who was more interested in ripping his own suit off of him than she was in defeating the akuma. Sweet Dreams was bringing fantasies to life all over Paris, and while Chat was clearly not complaining…Ladybug had always been the more sensible of the two. After all, they had already seen a few instances where the fantasies had been allowed to play out. Once you were fully in the thrall of your sweet dream, you fell into a sleep they were pretty sure only the Miraculous Cure could wake you from.

That was, ultimately, why Viperion had been called in. They couldn’t risk Ladybug getting hit and slipping into a sleep she couldn’t wake from. They hadn’t wanted to risk Chat, either, but Viperion hadn’t had a chance to set his bracelet before the Chat was showboating and throwing himself into the line of fire. And when it became clear he was all too willing to let his Fantasy Ladybug slip his Miraculous off his finger, they had locked the ‘couple’ in the shed before Hawkmoth could claim a partial victory.

“She’s harmless enough,” Ladybug said. She crouched lower as Sweet Dreams floated past them, a shimmering cloud of silvery dust that swirled around her feet carrying her around the city. The akuma passed by without incident, and Ladybug let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. “Ok. You ready?”

He fidgeted with his bangle before nodding. He wasn’t, not really. He hadn’t been lying to Ladybug: he’d already been in the middle of a really good fantasy when she’d entered his room and slapped him awake. After seeing what Sweet Dreams had done to Chat…there were about a hundred reasons why he wasn’t looking forward to this akuma, and he could count them all on the spots of the hero beside him.

And of course, because Chat had already been hit, he was the one they had to use as bait. No. Not bait. A distraction.

…he still felt like bait.

“Viperion?” she called, and he jumped when he felt her hand on his shoulder. He glanced down at the black gloves that were now part of her suit before looking up at her face, framed by the short pixie cut she had adopted a few months back. The same blue eyes stared back at him through the mask, narrowed in concern. The same eyes that…he shook his head to clear it. Now really wasn’t the time.

“Yeah,” he said, nodding after a moment. “Sor-”

“Watch out!” she cried, pushing him back, but it was too late.

A cloud of silvery dust slammed into his chest. He gasped, inhaling some of it, and immediately started coughing. His heart was pounding, and he thumped a fist against it as his vision swam. What…that had…there was a giggle behind him – a painfully familiar giggle – and a lead weight settled in his stomach. Ladybug’s eyes had blown wide, staring at something behind him, and they only grew wider when he felt small hands sliding over his shoulders. He glanced down at the arms wrapping around him, his heartrate picking up again when teeth nipped at his earlobe.

Shit.

Final Fantasy prompts no 52

1. Cloud getting swarmed by orphans who proceed to put make up on him, Tifa, and Yuffie.

When they are "revealed" to eachother, Cloud asks, "Am I pretty?" With a blank face and monotone voice.

2. Clouds reaction to different people saying, "I have a crush on you"

That exact phrase. No other wording or phrases.

3. #2 but its everyone in AVALANCHE saying this to Cloud one at a time, once a day.

Example: Yuffie on Tuesday, Tifa on Wednesday, Barret on Thursday, etc.

This is because they were trying a misguided attempt at making Vincent comfortable enough to actually confess.

When Vincent does confess, however, Cloud doesn't believe him. Oops.

4. Palmer was being a prick again. Ever since the "Incident" in the conference room when they discovered Sephiroths...relationship...with laser pointers, Palmer had been sneaking them in and teasing the poor man with them.

Scarlett had been the most recent victim, having the small red dot travel across her breasts without her knowledge. When she noticed the general staring at her cleavage, a whole host of questions flittered threw her mind, the most prominent being, "Am I about to get laid?"

By the time she noticed the dot it was too late. Catboy pounced.

Her last thought before she was squished by hard muscle and leather was "Oh, no."

Later, there was a mysterious surge in people writing fanfiction about Sephiroth pouncing on people...

5. Cloud chunking a ceramic vase full of catnip grass at Sephiroths head and yelling, "Happy birthday, asshole!"

6. Yuffie often observed how cat-like Cloud was, and just never questioned it.

Years later when Tifa says something about it, Yuffie was like, "You guys never noticed? He's always been like that."

Additionally, Vincent trailing his fingers through Clouds hair as the blond rests his head in the gunman lap. All was well and good until Cloud began purring in his sleep.

He wasn't sure what to do with this information.

7. Time traveler Cloud lands in the Shinra building and immediately gets spotted. He fights his way down with First Tsurugi until he's confronted by a familiar mop of spikey blond hair.

He has a blond moment of, "Oh, that's me. Oh- I'm shooting at myself. Lovely." He then proceeded to kidnap his younger self, much to Zacks dismay.

Now Cloud has Zack, Sephiroth, and two people he doesn't know hunting him like a wild animal.

It doesn't help that his past self is uncooperative

8. Zack as the hero instead of Cloud.

They made it to Midgar, but Cloud remained in a coma at 7th heaven. There was even a big rescue scene where he woke up and saved Marlene when the plate fell. Everyone thinks they're dead, but they find refuge with Elmira after AVALANCHE leaves Midgar.

Zack being referred to as "puppy" by Sephiroth in the same way Cloud is referred to as "puppet"

Also, Zack with green cat eyes

9. A group of scientists working under a mysterious organization managed to obtain samples of Clouds DNA, thus managing to revive the SOLDIER program.

But they made a mistake.

Cloud was made using large amounts of S and J-cells. Cells that mutated and changed him. He feels the new SOLDIERs as they change, as they are reborn. He feels them as they come alive with his cells, senses them like blinking lights on a sonar. The pull of REUNION has never been this strong before, but strangely, the blond didn't feel drawn anywhere.

When he first saw them he knew. He knew immediately what had happened and what the scientists had done, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was that he had babies and they needed him.

Needed their Mother

And so Gaia cries for another twisted hero

10. Someone from the Silver Elite writes romantic fanfiction of Sephiroth and Genesis and it starts a shipping war with people writing fanfiction about their favorite pairings.

A particularly...mature... piece of romantic high fantasy fanfiction involving himself and some blond named Cloud actually makes it to Sephiroth and he reads it.

He admittedly becomes curious of, "The pretty little fae" that has a solid hold on a significant amount of people in the Silver Elite.

Too bad the blond is avoiding him, like the plague and blushing as red as a beet the moment he sees him. He must have read something the fangirls made.

(Its funnier if you add time traveler AC Cloud but cuter if its CC Cloud. Idk which one I like better)

11. Angeal tries to teach CC Zack and Cloud how to build a bookshelf.

Cloud does pretty good, but Zack...actually, Angeal isn't sure what that is.

Zack called it art, so they were gonna go with that.

That's how they spent the rest of the evening, making wierd art that makes people stare in wonder and confusion.

12. Time travel shenanigans where Genesis's Jenova powers interfere with Clouds and now all the SOLDIERS that were in the Shinra tower with them when it happened have been turned into catboys.

It doesn't really change anything. It's still business as usual, just with a few extra appendages.

Angeal, who wasn't there at the time, has to muffle his laughter everytime he sees his friends.

It doesn't help that the company is pushing for Sephiroth to do a commercial showing off his new assets.

AC Cloud escaped and is on the run, but it's so much harder to blend in when you have cat ears on your head 24/7. Maybe he could wear a hat, but he wasn't sure what to do about the tail.

13. You remember that part in advent children where those monsters came out of the shadows that the remnants sent after Cloud?

Yeah, Cloud can do that. Not the, "summon eldrich monsters" thing, though he can probably do that too. I mean the "sinking into your own shadow to travel at high speeds/ through cracks in walls".

He finds this out by getting out of bed and falling into his shadow and slinking around like that until someone notices him.

He can't speak, so Barret and the others think the little shodow thing ate their blond friend or something.

Cloud is so frustrated and confused from being stuck in his shadow. Poor guy.

14. Gang leader Cloud x Mafia boss Sephiroth

15. Au where most things are the same, but Cloud and Sephiroth are both demons.

Sephiroth was raised in Shinra and frequently studies his dead race, believing he is the last of his kind and these books were all that were left of his people.

Then he found Cloud, who hated him on sight. As it turns out, Sephiroth is from the Cresent family. A clan of notoriously powerful and cruel demons with silver hair. What's worse is that the man was from the Strife clan, his family's enemy.

They had been at war for eons, with the Cresent family often becoming infatuated or obsessed with a Strife. They even had a phrase, which translated to, "Little song bird, you would look so pretty in a cage"

Needless to say the blond wanted nothing to do with him. So naturally, Sephiroth kidnapped him.

Demon Vincent is kind of there in the background, hiding himself like a smart person and watching over his blond friend and his deceased lover Lucricia's nephew. He allows most things, but ninjas his way in when he feels things are going too far.
