Your OCs are given a time machine and one no-consequence trip through time- anything they do won't affect the timeline in any way, but they can only do it once. What do they do?

Ooooh that's a fantastic question!! Thank you!

Rae: Well she's a linguistics nerd, so she'd probably jump back a few hundred or even a thousand years and see how the languages (namely Gàidhlig, she's Scottish) shifted over time

Robin: Hm... I feel like she'd pick one of her favorite operas and jump back to see it when it was first released. Or go even further back and see Shakespeare at the Globe (though... that one's probably very crowded and smelly)

Madison: Hm... Honestly, I'm not entirely sure. She doesn't have any particular historical interests, but maybe she'd enjoy just jumping back a ways and seeing some now-extinct creatures - anywhere from the thylacine to the T-Rex, take your pick

Ophelia: Da Vinci, Archimedes... she's meeting some great historical engineer and picking their brain about everything

Jasper: Well, they picked their middle name after Florence Nightingale, and she's literally the whole reason they became a trauma nurse to begin with, so they'd want to meet her if given the chance

Katherine: She'd jump back to Ahk's reign in Ancient Egypt, just to get a feel for what things were like back there.

Quinn: I honestly don't know for Quinn. If they can't actually affect the timeline, everything they'd want is in the present. They'd probably just save this power until they encounter a historical fact cool enough to want to witness in person, I guess

Kestrel: Hm... I know this won't make sense to you if you haven't read the Fablehaven books, but they'd jump back and meet Patton Burgess. He was rumored the best magical explorer of all time, and he's also a relative of their partner Warren, so they'd definitely want to see what all the hype is about lol

Eris: Honestly, would probably just pick one of their favorite moments from history and relive it a second time for the memories.

Nikoletta: At one point in her life, she'd jump a the chance to meet Marie Laveau in person - to study her life, her mannerisms, and pick up as many details as possible for use in her voodoo scam back in the present. In the present... I don't know that there's anything she'd want to jump back to?

Aromantic!Roman agenda 💚💚🤍🩶🖤

~~~START~~~

It started on a normal day. Roman spent the morning writing ideas in his Hopes and Dreams journal for more videos Thomas could create, then he spent the afternoon adventuring in the Imagination. Where it got weird was when he headed down to the common room to have dinner.

Logan and Patton were kissing in the kitchen. Logan and Patton were kissing. Roman didn’t know that kissing was a thing that they — as different facets of Thomas’s personality — were allowed to do.

“Oops, sorry did you need something, kiddo?” Patton asked once he noticed Roman standing in the doorway gawking at them.

“You two were kissing,” Roman observed dumbly.

“Yes,” Logan confirmed, straightening his glasses and entering teacher-mode. “That is an act that two romantic partners commonly engage in.”

“We’re allowed to have romantic partners!?” Oh, wasn’t this day getting better and better? Roman loved romance but he hadn’t realized that he was allowed to participate in it!

“Sure, kiddo, why wouldn’t we be?” Patton giggled, cuddling up to Logan. They were adorable and if Roman wasn’t so focused on his new revelations, he would have probably jumped right in to demanding to know everything about how they got together.

“I don’t know, I guess I just never thought about it before. Romantic partners,” Roman mused to himself as he sunk out, meal forgotten.

Romantic partners. Oh boy did Roman need a romantic partner by yesterday. Why hadn’t he thought of this sooner!

Romantic partners!

Logan and Patton were obviously out since they were already spoken for.

Remus was a hard-pass-not-in-a-million-years-Roman-would-rather-duck-out-than-date-him no.

Janus was… there was a time when Roman greatly enjoyed the way Janus stroked his ego. That was before Roman realized that it was all just lies to further Janus’s own agenda. So Janus was out.

That left Virgil.

Virgil would be perfect! He was the introvert to Roman’s extrovert. The emo to his prep. The pessimist to his optimist. Plus, they would have this whole enemies-to-friends-to-lovers vibe that made Roman giddy.

Yeah, Virgil was perfect.

Now all Roman had to do was ask him out.

A public display of affection was the obvious route to take, but Roman didn’t think that Virgil would appreciate that very much. Still, a musical serenade would be best. Plus flowers. And chocolate. Oh, and balloons. And confetti!

Roman grabbed his Hopes and Dreams journal and began writing down all his ideas. By the end of the hour, he had almost the entire thing planned out, all he had to do now was set it up and do it.

The actual event had to be pushed back a couple days due to Thomas’s filming schedule, but less than a week after Roman had first seen Patton and Logan kissing, it was time. He knocked on Virgil’s door bright and early in the morning, he had the whole day planned out and there wasn’t a moment to wait!

Except that Virgil didn’t answer the door. So Roman knocked again.

And again.

Finally, after a full five minutes, Virgil wrenched the door open.

“What– oh, hey Princey,” all the annoyance drained from Virgil's face when he spotted Roman. This was going to work. “Is something wrong?”

“Nothing wrong, my Nightmarish Nightingale–” that was a compliment, right? “I had just hoped that you would do me the honor of accompanying me on an adventure to the Imagination today!”

“I– now?” Virgil asked, somewhat reluctantly.

“Of course! I have the whole day planned out and there’s not a moment to waste!”

The hopefulness on Roman’s face was probably what melted the Winter Warlock’s heart because Virgil’s reluctance gave way to resignation.

“There better be food,” he warned, stepping completely out of his room.

“Of course! Anything your spooky heart desires!”

The first stop on their soon-to-be date was a charming little cafe that Roman had set up just outside his castle which was filled with Halloween themed cookies and pastries. After that, they went to the tailors for some new clothes (Roman may slay in his usual outfit, he needed to be absolutely stunning when he actually asked Virgil out, not to mention the fact that Virgil’s usual outfit was in no way appropriate for this soon-to-be incredibly romantic occasion). Then they went to the stables to get their horses for their ride through the countryside on their way to the lakeside picnic Roman had set up as his location to serenade the emo Side.

Virgil, it turned out, did not like horses, and horses, no matter how hard Roman tried, did not like Virgil.

“I am so sorry about that,” Roman apologized after Virgil’s horse finally succeeded in throwing him. He dismounted his own horse in order to help the other Side up and make sure he wasn’t too badly hurt by the fall. “I usually have more control over the animals than that, but there’s something about horses that sometimes gives Remus the edge.”

“It’s fine, Roman, seriously,” Virgil assured him as he tried desperately to brush the dirt from his new suit — a rich purple brocade with black threads woven into an intricate skull pattern. Roman waved a hand and all the dirt faded instantly. “Thanks. Can we just go back now?”

“No!” Roman all but screeched. “No, we’re almost there! I just– I have– please, Virgil?” Roman seized Virgil’s hand imploringly. “It’s just a little bit further, we can walk it in no time.”

Virgil looked down at their joined hands then back up at Roman’s face, his cheeks a little redder than before.

“Just a little further?” He asked reluctantly.

“Barely even five minutes, I swear on my sword.”

Sigh. “Okay. Let’s go.”

“Yay!” Roman pressed on to their destination, never letting go of Virgil’s hand.

He did mentally shorten the way to the lake — he had planned a much longer ride — so as to not break his promise, and they soon emerged into a clearing on the shores of a lake where a picnic was set up on the beach and a small rowboat sat ready at the end of a small dock.

“Oh wow,” Virgil marveled as he took in the scene.

Roman finally dropped Virgil’s hand in order to unpack the picnic basket for them. “Do you like it?”

“It’s beautiful,” Virgil complimented. Roman beamed.

The day was going perfectly other than the horse ride, and Roman couldn’t be happier.

…except that it didn’t quite feel the same way it did when Thomas was partaking in romantic activities. Obviously Roman knew that he wouldn’t feel exactly the same as Thomas did since he was a facet rather than a complex human being, but Roman didn’t even feel the same way that Roman felt during Thomas’s romantic escapades.

But all of that could be pushed to the side because that was Thomas and this was Roman, it was different. It made sense.

After their lunch Roman ushered Virgil onto the boat so that they could get to the next and most important step in Roman’s plan: the serenade. For this serenade Roman had chosen, obviously, I See The Light from Disney’s Tangled. Perfect song, perfect movie, perfect location. At no point did it occur to Roman to explicitly ask Virgil out, the song made it obvious, obviously.

On their walk back to town — which Roman had once again shortened but was still about ten minutes — Roman grabbed Virgil’s hand once more.

“I’m reading this situation correctly, right?” Virgil asked as he stared at the joined hands.

Roman was staring at their hands too. He had held hands with both Virgil and the others on numerous occasions, but this time it felt different. Like he could feel every millimeter on his hand where it was pressed against Virgil’s.

It didn’t feel particularly nice, it just felt overwhelming.

“I certainly hope so,” Roman chuckled as he tried to shake the uneasy feeling. “The rest of the day would be awkward otherwise.”

“You have more planned?” Virgil laughed incredulously.

“Of course! Grand romantic gestures are my specialty!”

Virgil shook his head, but he was smiling, so Roman thought he was enjoying himself. “Do I get to know any of these plans?”

“Most shall remain a surprise, my Melodramatic Melody, but I will tell you that I have fireworks planned for the grand finale, unless you find fireworks too distressing, in which case I could make them quieter, or could change course slightly if you’d prefer.”

“Quieter should work just fine,” Virgil assured him. “Especially if I know they’re coming.”

“As you wish,” Roman smiled as they entered town.

The rest of the day consisted of a leisurely stroll through the palace rose gardens, a private viewing of the Nightmare Before Christmas in the palace’s movie theater, and a romantic candlelit dinner in the Imagination’s finest restaurant. Finally, at the end of the day, a horseless carriage ride around town while muted fireworks lit up the sky in dazzling displays.

“It looks great, Roman,” Virgil commented as he watched the fireworks out the carriage window.

“Not as great as you,” Roman said, enjoying the way Virgil’s face blushed. There were a lot of elements of the day that hadn’t quite felt right, but he always enjoyed watching Virgil blush red under his white foundation.

Eventually, Roman noticed Virgil trying to stifle yawns and had the carriage take them back to the palace. From there they exited the Imagination, and Roman walked Virgil back to his room.

“I had a good time today, Princey,” Virgil smiled as they walked.

“Really?”

“Yeah. Um, if I could just ask one thing, next time you want to spend the entire day doing something, can you give me some heads up? Like, you don’t need to tell me what exactly, but maybe a general idea of what and how long?”

“That’s fair. I may have gotten a bit carried away; I was just so excited.”

“It’s all good. Thanks, Roman.”

Virgil had stopped in front of his door and turned to face Roman somewhat expectantly. It wasn’t until that moment that Roman remembered that goodnight kisses were practically a date staple. He hadn’t considered kissing before now, but faced with the expectation, he panicked slightly.

Instead, he did the first thing that came to mind: he grabbed Virgil’s hand and brought his knuckles to his mouth.

“Farewell and pleasant dreams my Sweet and Sour Lemon Drop!”

Virgil looked a little bemused, but not disappointed by the exchange. “Goodnight my, uh, Dazzling Prince.”

Roman beamed at the term of endearment before turning dramatically and making his way back to his own room. Once he was alone his smile dropped. Virgil had seemed to enjoy their date, but it hadn't quite felt right to Roman.

Clearly, he was doing something wrong.

Maybe he hadn’t been trying hard enough?

Whatever it was, Roman fell asleep lost in thought and his dreams were plagued by imperfect dates, social faux pas, and curses placed by dragonwitches.

Roman was just about ready to crawl out of his skin. It had been two weeks, but still Roman couldn’t shake the feeling that he was fucking up at every turn.

Nothing he did felt right. He and Virgil hung out in the living room, and Roman couldn’t stop wishing Virgil would get tired and leave. They went on dates in the Imagination, and he couldn’t stop wishing that he was on a quest alone.

Even when not in a date-setting, Roman was so hyper aware of where Virgil was that it was driving him batty. If Virgil so much as entered a room that Roman was already in, Roman would tense up until he’d either sat down away from Roman or left again. He was dating Virgil; he shouldn’t be feeling afraid of him!

It had to be some sort of curse!

Virgil, he was certain, had yet to notice Roman’s discomfort. Patton and Logan on the other hand…

“Alright there, kiddo?” Patton asked, having just witnessed Roman practically flinch when Virgil walked past him to the kitchen.

“I’m right as rain, padre!” Roman assured him, aiming for upbeat. Judging by the frown on Patton’s face, he’d missed the mark.

“Are you sure?”

“Now that you mention it, I am feeling a little tired,” Roman yawned, hoping for an easy escape. “I think I might go have myself a little cat nap.”

“Do you want to reschedule our date tonight?” Virgil asked, returning from the kitchen.

“I wouldn’t dream of it, mi amor!” Roman reassured him, kissing Virgil’s knuckles once more. He’d pull that move probably too many times in the past week, but luckily it was very in-character for him, and Virgil had yet to question it. “Just a little nap, and then two hours to do my makeup and I shall be ready to sweep you off your feet!”

He sank out after that in fear that if he stuck around any longer Patton might call him out in front of Virgil. He wasn’t actually tired though, so he instead spent his time making sure their date would be perfect.

Whatever Roman’s problem was, it was clear that he just wasn’t trying hard enough during his and Virgil’s dates, so tonight, under the moonlight, he would finally kiss his boyfriend, and like a fairytale, the curse would be broken, and everything would fall right into place.

It just needed to be perfect.

As he always did when they had a date in the Imagination, Roman picked Virgil up from his room and the two of them walked to the Imagination together. Their date would be a royal ball in Roman’s castle; Virgil was once again dressed in his brocade suit from their first date while Roman had picked out a stunning floor-length red gown with a plunging neckline and a train longer than Thomas was tall.

As they danced, Roman began to regret his choice of date. Virgil was pressed all the way up against him with one hand on his waist and the other in one of Roman’s — it was too much contact and it was making Roman jittery.

A thunderous crack echoed through the castle.

“What was that?” Virgil asked, looking around the ballroom for the source. There was nothing to be seen.

“Probably just Remus playing a game somewhere,” Roman suggested, mentally berating himself for his unexpected lapse in concentration. “Nothing to worry about, my Spooky Sweetheart!”

“If you’re sure.”

“I’m positive.”

The music started back up and the two continued their dance. Roman shifted his focus on his surroundings in an attempt to ignore the unpleasant buzzing Virgil’s touch caused beneath his skin.

All was going well until Virgil started to lean in.

His lips were barely an inch from Roman’s before the ground started shaking. A second, even louder crack tore through the ballroom, and seconds later the north end of the room broke away as though falling from a cliff.

��Roman!” Virgil yelped, staring at the wreckage.

This was a disaster, but Roman had a mission. He just needed to kiss Virgil, and everything would be perfect. He cupped the side of Virgil’s head to turn him towards him then cut off Virgil’s confused sound by smashing their lips together.

There had to be some sort of technique to this, and in the back of his mind, Roman knew that he knew it because Thomas knew it. But the technique didn’t come to him, and Roman ended up just aggressively pressing their mouths together.

Virgil flailed for a few seconds before firmly pushing Roman away. The rest of the castle cracked and fell until Roman and Virgil were left staring at each other in shocked silence, surrounded by the ruins of the castle.

“That always works in the movie,” Roman mused sadly, mostly to himself.

“What works?” Virgil asked, looking thoroughly shaken.

“Kissing,” Roman answered. “It’s supposed to fix everything — break the curse and stuff!”

Virgil opened his mouth, then closed it again. “Roman,” he said slowly. “I need you to be clear about this: what curse?”

“The curse that makes it hard for me to be around you,” Roman shrugged.

Virgil’s face fell, and before Roman could say anything else, he’d sunken out.

“Wow!” A voice mused behind Roman. “That was so much better than what I was going to do!”

“FUCK OFF, REMUS!” Roman screamed. Only silence followed.

It was about an hour later — an hour that Roman spent wallowing in misery and making uncomfortable realizations about himself — that someone knocked on Roman’s door. He opened the door because he was expecting Patton and he could use one of his Patton-ted hugs.

It was not Patton.

“Oh,” Roman sighed dejectedly. “I thought you were Patton.”

“Ah yes well Virgil was crying, and I thought it might be best for Patton to handle him.” Logan replied, seemingly taking little offense at the statement.

“What would you have done if I were crying?” Roman asked. Truthfully, he mostly just felt numb, Logan was probably safe from any overly emotional responses.

“I have a list!” Logan informed him excitedly, pulling out his notebook and flipping to a marked page. “It’s tailored to Patton, but I believe you would find many of the items to be agreeable!”

Roman glanced at the list and yeah, Disney movies and cuddling with someone non-romantically sounded excellent. Much better than it had when he and Virgil had done that exact same thing as a date.

“You got me there, Teach.” He was going for enthusiasm, but he couldn’t have been more off the mark.

“Hmm.” Logan’s eyes surveyed Roman searchingly. “Would you like to tell me what happened?”

“What did Virgil tell you?”

“I did not manage to get much coherent information out of Virgil, though Remus has informed me that you quote ‘flipped your shit’ end quote.”

“I was stupid,” Roman sighed. “Just one, gigantic, prince-shaped idiot! I fucked up worse than when Woody pushed Buzz out the window!”

“That is a very emotional response, with what appears to be an unhealthy dose of bias and exactly zero helpful clues as to what transpired between you and Virgil earlier — unless what you did was push Virgil out of a window.”

“No, I–” Roman choked. “I just– I was so excited by the prospect of having a romantic partner, that I didn’t stop to wonder whether or not I should have a romantic partner!”

Logan’s brow furrowed. “I am afraid I’m not quite following.”

“I think I’m aromantic,” Roman confessed. The word had been sitting heavily in his chest for the past hour, but now that it was out there, he felt the weight had been lifted. “I think I’m more excited by the idea of romance than I am by the experience of it — or at least, me experiencing it — and I know I chose Virgil because he was the most convenient option. I played with his feelings; I am unworthy of the title of Prince.”

“Beating yourself up over guilt is not a productive use of anyone’s time,” Logan stated simply. “Sometimes experimentation is required to learn things about ourselves, and sometimes those experiments accidentally hurt people. The best thing to do is apologize.”

“I know,” Roman sighed, rubbing a hand over his face — his makeup had long since been ruined so it hardly mattered now. “Can we do some of the things on your list afterwards?”

“Of course.”

Patton and Virgil were on the couch in the living room when Roman and Logan found them. Virgil was in Patton’s lap, clinging to him like his life depended on it, and didn’t seem to notice the others’ arrival. Patton sent Roman a reassuring smile.

Roman steeled himself up, mostly helped by the firm but gentle hand Logan had on his shoulder.

“Virgil?”

The Anxious Side froze for a moment before slowly pulling back from where his face was buried in Patton’s shoulder. His eye shadow was smeared across his entire face, but he said nothing.

“I need to apologize to you,” Roman continued, focusing on Logan’s calming presence. “It was not my intention to use you like I did, but I did, and for that I am so very sorry.”

Virgil said nothing.

“I was too excited by the idea of a romantic relationship that it took everything literally falling apart around me to realize that I didn’t want to be in one. You didn’t deserve to be my guinea pig. I hurt you and I will try my hardest to make it up to you because I value your friendship above anything.”

“...okay,” Virgil finally croaked before burying his face in Patton’s shoulder once more.

“I’m very proud of you, kiddo,” Patton smiled at Roman gently. “I think Vee needs some time now, okay?”

“Yeah, alright,” Roman agreed. He still felt awful, but he knew Patton was right.

“May I?” Roman turned to find Logan watching him expectantly.

“Sure,” Roman accepted, though he wasn’t quite sure what Logan was asking.

Logan took his hand — it felt nice when Logan did it, platonically, with no expectations — and sank out. They came up in Logan’s room, where the bookworm’s desk had been temporarily replaced with an in-home theater.

“My library, of course, contains every movie and television program that Thomas has ever seen,” Logan explained as he led Roman over the couch. He sat down and pulled Roman down with him, shifting them both around until he determined them to be in the perfect position — no doubt Logan had boiled cuddling down to a science. “We can watch anything you would like.”

“Moana?” Roman requested. He didn’t think he could watch a romance-heavy movie right now.

“Of course,” Logan promised.

Despite how poorly it had all gone down, platonically cuddling with Logan while watching Disney movies was the most content Roman had been in weeks. He drifted off to sleep to the sounds of Auli’i Cravalho and The Rock returning the heart of Te Fiti.

~~~END~~~

Vaguely based off of the six months in high school where I had a 🤢 boyfriend 🤮 (it was a time 🙃), and the fact that my college roommate (who I’m not sure is aromantic but def has the vibes) calls tinder her “game”

Sumarry 1: Meeting and Snooping

This post is a little introduction story.

After one of the fairies saved one of you, the queen decided to make contact with the curious group in the mysterious tower on the field you lights have been hanging around.

They seem to have been here a while and most seem to be happy to make some new friends.

They introduce themselves as:

Logan Berry, a teacher/librarian, he/him pronouns.

Patton Goodwill, Nanny, he/him pronouns.

Janus Sundrop, Magician, they/them pronouns.

Virgil Nightingale, Knight, Logan’s protégé, any pronouns.

Remus Dawn, Prince, General, he/they/it pronouns.

Roman Dawn, crown prince, he/him or she/her pronouns.

More official titles were used in the initial introduction but this is the essentials.

You tell the fairies that you are born from the truest hearts wishes of other creatures and can either move on to a new wish or choose to join the stars upon fulfillment of your wish.

You don’t all know what your exact wish is though or who it belongs to.

They tell you that their tower is under some sort of cloaking spell that should make it hard to find and that they’ve been here for four years.

You decide to stay with the fairies for the coming year, the final year they reside here in this meadow.

While the fairies all go to bed you explore the tower.

You find a training room in the basement where some of you pick up a souvenir. Then some cool murals on the ground floor that seem to let you hear memories when you pay close attention to them.

Going up you find a common room with pictures that come to life when you focus and chairs that seem to change shape when you tap them.

Higher you find a kitchen and Patton’s room. Though Patton is not in his bed, but cooking in the kitchen. He can’t sleep.

He tells you about learning to cook when they came to live here, and about baking cookies when the twins had bad dreams.

Patton is surprised to hear about the moving pictures though.

Suddenly one of you makes a loud noise, waking Virgil who comes in with a sword at the ready.

They are a bit grumpy when they realize they were woken up by you.

The situation escalates and instead of keeping you company, he scolds you and heads back to bed, not too pleased with your group as a whole.

Feeling bad you put your souvenirs back and keep Patton company until he is ready for bed. Finding that you can see his pictures move too.

Patton mentions something about the uncle of the princes.

When you comfort him, you see key moments of his life flash by.

Having caused enough mayhem for one night you decide to settle in the common room for the rest of the night. Reflecting on what you’ve learned about these strange fairies and yourselves.

Brook’s Masterpost

Hello!

I have finally managed to get myself organized enough to compile all of my stories into one place! I put everything underneath a “Read More,” as I’m not entirely sure how long this post will get through time.

This Masterpost will be continuously updated with every story I have and will release.

I have a mix of G/t Stories and Non-g/t Stories. 

Some of my stories are In Progress, some are On Hiatus, some are Complete and some are just purely One-Shots. (Unless I get inspired by something and feel compelled to write more for that certain universe, in which that story will then be re-marked.) I will label these all accordingly! 

Enjoy!

Prompt: Deaf/Dare

Ship: Logicality

Logan’s gaze shifted over the words on the page before him slowly. He had read the same paragraph at least half a dozen times and yet it still didn’t sink in. He gave a heavy sigh, rubbing his temple as it continued to throb unpleasantly, before closing the book and setting it aside. He simply hadn’t been able to enjoy reading as much as he had before the accident.

His gaze caught on the tiny hand that set a small mug of tea onto the coffee table in front of him before it rose to meet Patton’s gaze. The smaller man offered a gentle smile and spoke to him. The eerie silence was something Logan had grown accustomed to over the last six months; but he still struggled to read lips.

“I apologize Patton… I… didn’t catch that.” He replied, his words sounding almost as if he had cotton in his cheeks. It was so strange not being able to hear your own voice. The pain in his temple increased as he tried not to flinch, tugging on his ear in response.

“Oh.” The smaller man chuckled. Oh, what Logan wouldn’t give to hear that laugh again. He had always loved the sound of Patton’s laughter. It was high pitched and so pure… Like church bells in spring.

He watched as Patton’s hands moved slowly, deliberately. The smaller man had worked very hard to learn sign language for Logan. He had been so distraught when they discovered Logan had become deaf during his car accident and was determined to make every accommodation possible.

‘Cookies... Me... Bake... Future/will... you want?’ he signed a bit clumsily asking Logan if he would like Patton to bake them some treats.

“Ah.” Logan replied, beginning to sign in return. He continued to speak, knowing that the man learned more easily when he paired the two. “No. Thank you, Patton. However,… I know date night isn’t for another few days, but I thought it would be nice to perhaps participate in some extracurricular activities.” he explained.

He watched as Patton gave a squeal of excitement and began to bounce in his excitement. The sight had Logan’s lips turning up with affection. He truly adored the man before him. It wasn’t the first time he considered himself one of the luckiest men on the planet.

‘What... have... in... mind?’ Patton signed in a rush, making Logan struggle to keep up.

“Perhaps a board game? We still haven’t opened the newest expansion to Mansions of Maddness.” He reminded.

“Yes!” Patton squeal. Logan certainly didn’t need signs to understand that bit. “I’ll go make some snacks while you set up!” he urged before rushing off, not even bothering to use ASL.

Logan pushed to his feet slowly, still pulling on his ear, watching Patton disappear around the corner. He supposed that all and all life was pretty good. Sure, he would never be able to enjoy the lectures he use to listen to on the way to work in the same way, or Bach and Mozart as he read, but Patton was still there. Logan was alive and well. The entire incident brought them closer than ever be-

He stumbled, as he headed for the shelf filled with a variety of games, suddenly growing dizzy as pain washed through him. His hand moved, from where it had been pulling on his earlobe, to massage his temple as he leaned against the wall practically gasping from it all.

For a moment, the world stood still. It was just him, bracing himself against the wall, the sound of his blood rushing in his ears. His heart beat began to speed up, sounding as if it were about to explode. Everything was so loud! Too loud!

Then… slowly… The whisper of a whistle made its way towards him. The sound was soft and heavenly like the nightingale in June. No, it put the nightingale to shame. His eyes began to sting with the force of his tears, a hand dropping to cover his mouth, hanging open in disbelief. The whistling shifted to a soft breathless, happy, singing.

He pushed off the wall, stumbling towards the kitchen, tears flowing freely as he was overwhelmed with emotions. He braced himself against the frame of the door as he watched Patton move about in his preparations, back still turned to the man.

“Do, a deer, a female deer.” Pattons soft, sweet, voice came. “Re, a drop of golden sun. Mi, a name I call myself; Fa, a long, long way to run.” He continued before switching back to whistling as he began to pour pretzels into a bowl.

“So.” Logan’s voice came, the word broken on his lips. The sound made the smaller man jump before chuckling and turning towards his other half. The sight of Logan barely keeping himself upright as the tears continued to fall had his smile disappearing instantly. “A needle pulling thread.” He finished making Patton’s brows furrow in confusion.

“Lo?” He mumbled softly. His body began to tense as he started putting the pieces together.

“La, a note to follow So,” Logan continued with a broken laugh as he stepped forward.

Patton’s eyes grew wide in shock and he had to brace a hand on the counter behind him to steady himself. The doctor had said it was possible for Logan to regain his hearing but he hadn’t truly believed… Wouldn’t allow himself to hope…

“Ti…” Patton continued a bit shakily. “a drink with jam and bread.” He finished, the sound muffled as he hid his mouth behind his hand.

“That,” Logan smiled moving forward and placing his hands on Patton’s cheeks and guiding him to look up at the taller man. “will bring us back to Do.”

A sob escaped the smaller man as he practically collapsed into the other’s arms. Logan’s own legs gave out sending them both to the cold tiles below. He buried his face in the honey locks of his lover as he allowed himself the cry with relief, clinging to the other man.

“I hear you.” he mumbled incoherently. “I hear you.” he sobbed.

Make it sad- he has lost everything, everyone (he got kicked from his previous bfs house for being too eccentric and they shredded it because, "He needs to grow up.") He's trying to get back to normal (his normal, he's not crazy, he's not!) And ends up having a breakdown. Cue a few days later and he's starving, completely slipped into a delusion, being found by Patton or Logan- (Roman is mentally ill- diagnosed, but his previous boyfriend had, "Those aren't real. Grow up." Mentality.

Tattered

Sanders Sides: RomanFic Type: AngstWarnings: PTSD, War, Blood, Guns, Swords/Knives, Death, Toxic Relationships 

Betrayed from every side.

Not only were his foes his enemies, but his friends had become his foes.

His loved ones turning their backs just when he was certain they would never—Roman shivered, slipping out of the cave -dumpster- into the rain with a bolt of stained fabric in his arms that he could use to create a new disguise, his current tunic, with it’s thin and torn sleeves, doing little to protect him from the fury of the Hurricane -rain storm- the Dragon Witch had sent to test him.

All a Test.

No one was trustworthy.

Everyone was against him.

Everyone.

Everyone?

Roman flinched, darting -stumbling- into the nearest crevice -alleyway- as twin torches roared past him along the ravine, hunting for his blood, sent by the Dragon Witch to bring back his head.

“Never.” He growled out, holding his treasured cloth in one arm while he edged along the dark path, feeling along the craggy way to the next cave in search of any sustenance he could find since the first hadn’t contained any of the travel rations he desperately needed.

So hungry. Famine had struck the entire province due to the Manticore Chimera’s reign in this part of his kingdom.

Roman hunched his shoulders as a door slammed in the distance.

A Prince should be welcomed everywhere.

Yet all had fallen under the same cursed spell.

Thrown out.

Unwelcomed.

A Prince to no one.

“Again with the stupid Prince thing, Roman? Grow up.”

Roman flinched, breath hitching in his throat as the wind picked up, tearing at his ragged shirt. “I am a Prince.” He whispered, brushing his dripping hair out of his eyes. “Ruler of–”

“Idiocy. It was cute in the beginning, but now? Dude. Some days I can’t believe you actually fought in the war.”

Gunshots.

Dust.

An Explosion.

“ROMAN GET DOWN!”

He ducked, dropping the bolt of cloth, as a long piercing whistle of the Dragon Witch’s roar sounded over head. He twisted, hands scrambling for his rifle–no the sword! The sword would be better–gah! Roman grabbed at the helmet that was on far too tight on his head. Too tight! Tootighttootight He couldn’t brea–

“The enemy has us surrounded.”

No. “DRAGON WITCH!” Roman screamed, throwing a punch into the rock wall his knuckles splitting as they crashed into the red brick stone.

Not that–anything but–but–

Bright blue eyes.

“You’ll get us through this Captain.”

No, not a captain. He was a Prince!

“What do we do now, sir?”

Sweaty hands on his rifle.

Blood flowing from his shoulder.

Communications. Down.

Surrounded.

Roman fell to his knees, fingernails digging into his scalp as he tried to remove the helmet. Tried to breathe. To–to save–save—

“This pathetic make-believe has to stop. You’re just doing it for the attention and I’m tired of it Rameno.”

He shuddered. Don’t call me that! “I’m not–” He was perfectly NORMAL!

“Stop being so weird. It’s creeping out everyone. You think they like it when you randomly burst into song?”

But songs hel–helped the the–

BANG. BANG. BANG.

“I–I’m wishing” Roman whispered, his voice shaking as he clawed his way to his feet, leaning heavily against the rocky crag -brick wall- “F-for the-the one I-I lo-love…” 

To find me.

“True love? That’s for fairytales, Rameno and I’m tired of dealing with make-believe.” 

“Captain!”

BANG. BANG. BANG.

All the blood.

Red spreading across the greys and browns.

Glazed eyes.

Staring.

Accusing.

Roman violently shook his head. Get away get away get away. Gotta save. Gotta have— “To-To find me.” The Dragon Witch wouldn’t win. He would find his sword. Find a way to defeat her and then the manticore—

“Captain Roman?” A voice echoed down the ravine, achingly familiar.

Sing sweet nightingale. Oh si~i~ing.  

A trap.

“Roman, kiddo, that is you right?”

He wasn’t a child!

Roman whirled, hands raised defensively to the rain fogged figure standing nearby.

Moving closer.

The Dragon Witch couldn’t have found him so soon! He’d been covering his tracks–

“They tapped our communications.”

Heart sinking. “We were set up.” And he’d been a fool to trust–

“Captain?”

A cool scaly grey hand landed lightly on his shoulder. “Cap–”

BANG.

Agony. Burning. Pain. 

The Dragon Witch had found him. Was attacking him! He was doomed–

Roman screamed and surged forward, slamming the figure against the wall. “NO!!” He hissed as the other grunted. “You cannot win, Dragon Witch!” Not again. He was Prince of this land and she Would. Not. WIN!

One calloused hand grabbed at his wrist, the clawed-metal-one resting on top, the tips only lightly digging into his skin. “Cap–” The figure whispered, black frames wrapping around his dark brown -bright blue they’re blue!- eyes in a feeble disguise. But Roman knew those brown eyes. Knew the glare of the Dragon Witch!

“THAT IS PRINCE TO YOU, DRAGON WITCH!” He roared.

“What do we do, Captain?” They all looked to him, eyes filled with hope, their hands ready on their weapons.

“Ro–I’m not–Not the Drag–”

Roman bared his teeth. “LIAR.” He hissed, slipping one hand to his boot–sneaker- withdrawing his sword- broken butterknife- from its hiding place. He wouldn’t be tricked again.

Surrounded.

Trapped.

He took a breath, offering them a smile he didn’t feel. “We fight.” He said, leaning in to the others as he adjusted his grip on his rifle. “Follow my lead, we’ll get out.”

Blood.

Death.

So. Much. Red.

He used to love that color.

He raised the knife. Once more that color would fill his vision. But this time.

This. Time.

The Dragon Witch would die.

“Roman!” The figure cried, feet kicking uselessly in the air. “Please, It’s Me! Pat–”

The blade fell.

Corner of Love

Ship: Royality, Analogical mention, mayybe future LAMP? idk I haven’t fully fleshed out the story yet oop-

Warnings: one word is all caps, I think that’s it?

I’m planning to include this as a short filler chapter in my Filipino!Patton fic I’m working on, so take this as a sneak peek I guess?

♫

It was another one of those nights where Patton and Virgil had chosen to switch dorms yet again (which was now every night, but they chose not to notice) so that they could stay with their respective significant others. Well, Virgil and Logan weren’t together just yet, but Patton and Roman had snickered about how they might as well be on more than one occasion.

Patton lay horizontally on the bottom bunk, his head just barely hanging over the edge, while Roman sat on the floor against the bed, cross-legged, chortling at a pun Patton had just made. The night so far had been joyful, the two having shared jokes, small talk and cutesy exchanges that would have made one’s teeth rot had they been there, as well as some biscuits from Patton’s hometown, left half-eaten in their container on the floor next to Roman. A biscocho or silvanas would be plucked from their jar from time-to-time, satisfying the two lovebirds dwelling deeply in each other’s presence.

The laughter quieted down, and Patton took a butterscotch from its plastic bag. Slowly tearing apart the wrapper, he pondered on what to say next. He held up the butterscotch against the light, crumpling the wrapper in his fist. Patton counted the nuts he could see - a fun little habit he liked to do before eating one - and popped the whole thing (yes, the whole thing, despite past experiences warning him not to) into his mouth at the same time an idea popped into his head.

“’Eew, couwd I bway sow’ ‘ewsic?” Patton asked, his voice muffled by the sticky treat.

Roman looked at him, soft amusement carved into his face. “Hm?” he responded.

Patton’s eyes widened, and he sat up straight to properly swallow the butterscotch. “Sorry!” he apologized, letting the last of the snack go down his throat.

“It’s okay, Bubbles,” Roman said, turning to face Patton. His bangs shifted as he tilted his head slightly. “What is it?”

The smile on Roman’s face still made Patton’s heart flutter, no matter how many times he saw it. He blushed and stuttered a bit before continuing his sentence.

“Could I play some music, Deer?” Patton inquired meekly.

Roman’s eyes brightened, the violet coloring his eyes seeming to illuminate for a second. “Of course!” He stood up and held out his hand to help Patton off the bed, despite the latter’s protests. Still, Patton took the offer, and stood up, keeping their hands together for a few more moments before detaching.

“What did you have in mind, Blossom?” Roman continued.

Patton beamed at Roman as he walked over to the messy desk strewn with projects and scratch paper covered in doodles. “I can’t be all three of the Powerpuff Girls, Ro-ro,” he teased.

“Hm, true,” Roman mused, walking up behind Patton. “You’ll just be Bubbles then.”

“You can be Blossom!” Patton grinned at Roman. “Virgil can be... Buttercup.”

“Wouldn’t that better fit Specs, though?” Roman queried. “Vee can be Bliss.”

“Who’s Bliss?” Patton looked back at Roman, quizzical.

Roman gasped. “You don’t know Bliss?”

“Is she from the reboot?”

“Yeah, her powers are really hard to control and are connected to her emotions. Super anxious about them, you know...” Roman waved a hand vaguely. “...destroying everything.” 

Patton hummed before turning back to the desk. “Honestly, that does sound like Virge,” he giggled.

Roman grinned. “Glad you agree.”

Patton lifted a stack of papers (it was hardly a stack, really, more like a small heap) to find his collection of CDs he moved temporarily (read: permanently) to Roman’s room in case he ever felt the need to listen to them while there. Under another stack of papers was Patton’s portable CD player. He smiled and picked up his CDs first, picking through them to find the album he was searching for.

Roman rested his chin on Patton’s shoulder. “What are you looking for?”

Patton suddenly came across what he was looking for, and brightened. He popped open the lid of the cover as well as the player’s, and inserted the disc. Patton shut the lid, pressed play, and turned to Roman, basically shining.

“Basil Valdez,” Patton chirped, holding up the CD container to Roman’s face. “One of my dad’s favorite singers, as well as mine. I haven’t been able to listen to him much since I moved here.”

The music started up, and the deep voice of Basil Valdez emanated from the player’s speakers.

Rivers belong where they can ramble

Roman perked up. Wait, wasn’t that...?

Eagles belong where they can fly (Rivers belong where they can ramble)

Patton noticed the look on his boyfriend’s face. “Ro? What’s up?”

Roman looked back at Patton, eyes wide. “Patton, is that what I think it it?”

“What?”

I’m not a river or a giant bird that soars to the sea But if I’m tied to anything, I’ll never be free

Roman glowed, a large grin forming on his face. “Patton, he’s singing Corner of the Sky!”

“Yeah, why-”

“That’s from Pippin, the musical by the brilliant Stephen Schwartz!”

“It is?!” Patton exclaimed, incredulous. That was a new piece of information!

“It is rather different though,” Roman noted, his hand on his chin. “I don’t seem to recognize these words.”

“It is a cover,” Patton said, shrugging.

Everything has its season Everything has its time

“Oh, I know this part!” Roman gleefully stated, confidence building up in him. “Show me a reason, and I’ll show you a rhyme!”

Patton watched lovingly as Roman sang his heart out to the lyrics. The energy he was giving off seemed to flow through the room, blanketing everything that dared witness it, Patton included.

Cats sit on the window sill Children sit in the snow Why do I feel I don’t fit in Anywhere I go?

“Rivers belong where they can ramble!” Patton suddenly interjected. “Eagles belong where they can fly!”

Roman laughed, and held out his hand for the second time that night, this time with a different invitation. And this time there were no protests or hesitation. Patton took it right away, and was immediately swept into a dance.

I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free Got to find my corner of the sky

The dance was sporadic, with no real direction. The two held each other and twirled around the room, keeping in time with the instrumental. Laughs sounded as one spun the other around, as they jumped and hopped from one point of the room to the other.

Every man has his daydreams Every man has his goal People like the way dreams have Of sticking to the soul

Thunderclouds have their lightning Nightingales have their song And don't you see I want my life to be Something more than long...

Of course, they sang the song all the way through. Sometimes they would pause to laugh or just to catch a breather, but they would always continue. And Patton drank in every moment of that experience. How the music seemed to  bound about the room like a cheerful dog, filling every crevice. How Roman was so graceful yet energetic. How his hair bounced and his eyes shone like stars. How Roman seemed to shine, to stand out to Patton. How beautifully their voices melded together.

And every move - every twirl, hop, jump, even every single simple step - brought Patton closer and closer to Nirvana.

Got to find my corner...

The song slowed down, and so did Roman and Patton.

of the...

The two grinned, basking in the presence of one another. They were together.

The music built back up again, and they simultaneously belted the last note:

“SKYYY!”

The song ended, and the two collapsed onto the bed. They let out breathy chuckles, and smiled at one another.

Roman took Patton’s hand in his, and kissed his knuckles. “Thank you for that, sweet Lilac. You are truly amazing.”

Patton blushed, and beamed wider. “Ikaw din, aking diwata,” he responded.

Roman booped their noses together, and they both giggled. “What does that mean?”

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Patton assured, cuddling up to Roman.

“With You” started playing, and the couple soon dozed off with peaceful smiles on their faces.

It’s cloudy. It’s the perfect weather for a murder. It's the perfect weather for running around outside without caring about who's looking.

No one's looking anyway, but they don't think about that either. It's eleven p.m., and Remus is bored and not tired at all.

There's a Starbucks on the corner. It's open 24/7. 

That's new, they think.

Remus doesn't like Starbucks (too many choices, none of them fun), but they go in anyway.

It's full, and everyone looks bored. The barista massages their temples when they see Remus, and they're almost about to walk out again when they see someone sitting at a table in the very back.

Remus smiles and walks up to the counter. "One of everything in a grande cup."

The barista blinks at them a few times. "Anything else?"

For you to lick it off me. "No." They raise their eyebrows and smirk.

The barista rolls their eyes but gives them their order without complaint, and Remus locks their eyes on the person they spotted earlier and walk confidently towards them. The person doesn't look up, not until Remus is already seated with them.

Remus puts their elbows on the table and stares at them intently. They tilt their head and blink.

"Hi." The other person smiles. "Is there something on my face?"

"If there were, I would've--" Eaten it. "--said something. I just wanted to talk to you."

“I'm Patton!” The other person laughs. “He/him.”

“Remus." He looks covertly around the room. "Like penis. They/them.”

Patton smiles when he hears it, and Remus’s heart skips a beat. They wonder how many skips it would take for them to die.

“I don’t think a lot, actually.” Patton places his arms on the table.

“Ooh, you’re actually listening to me! That’s new.”

“Aww, you’re giving me too much credit. I just like new people.”

"And you listen to them! And don't screw them over!"

"I might. You don't really know me, Rem."

Remus swings his legs. "I want to."

"Then let's talk." Patton looks at the cup and smiles. "Right?"

"Right!"

And they talk. They talk until it's midnight and they barely remember why they came here, until nothing matters but the two of them. Until Patton glances at his watch. 

“Oh! Looks like we’ll have to cup this one short!” He giggles. “That was fun, Remus. You’re fun.”

He almost trips over the carpet as he rushes out the door, and Remus smiles. Someone actually likes them.

Does he? He didn’t just want to get away?

Remus imagines smashing a hammer on Patton’s face, and they regret it immediately.

“Well, I like him!”

It's twelve hours and five hours of sleep later that they call Jekyll and tell him about it. 

For once in their life, Remus wants to keep a secret.

[thefairytower]

(Stop it I already absolutely ADORE this AU!)

I blink in many colors cheerfully!

Hello! It’s nice to meet you all! I haven’t seen you guys before, might you all introduce yourselves?

(Aw thanks!!! Hope I can keep it up!!!)

The purple fairy, the queen called them Virgil you recall sighs.

"Well then the spell did its job I guess," they mutter.

"And I suppose you already blew your identity with the queen?" They add looking at the red one, who looks sheepishly as they nod.

"Well, they would've done something while you were by yourself if they'd been sent... fine," Virgil relented gesturing to the deep blue fairy who nodded.

"Yes. Greetings to you all," they said very formally. Arms folded behind their back, back straight and eyes looking at you like they were trying to figure out your deepest secret jusf by looking at you.

"I am Logan Berry. I use he/him pronouns. I am Master of the scrolls, keeper of knowledge of the fairy kingdom of the dawn." He introduced himself importantly.

"*cough* librarian *cough*" the green fairy interrupts to the amusement of the others. Scroll master Logan pushes on gesturing to the light blue one in a dress.

"This is Patton Goodwill. He/him too. Steward of the crown of the dawn."

"*cough*Nanny*cough*" The green one again. And again all but Logan laughed. Even Patton.

Logan gestured to the yellow fairy. "Master Janus Sundrop. They/them. Scholar of magic and mystic advisor of the crown of the dawn," he stated.

"*cough*magician*cought*" this time the chuckles were accompanied by shaking heads and sighs.

Now Logan pointed to the purple one, Virgil, who straightened their posture at once.

"Virgil Nightingale. Any pronouns, though he/him will do if you cant make up your mind. My protege," for the first time Logan cracks a little smile. "Keeper of the sun blade, banisher of shadows and personal guard to the princes of the sun."

"*cough*teachers pet*cough*" Virgil shot the green one a glare but didnt drop his proud posture for a second.

Logan sighed and gestured to the green fairy at last. "Prince Remus Dawn. He/they/it. First born twin to Queen Daphne and Quin River. Duke of the damned marches, by choice. Leader of the armies of the sunset," Logan announced.

Remus grinned "*cough*total boss*cough*"

This time everyone burst out laughing.

Logan waited patiently for the ruckus to die down.

When it did he gestured to the red fairy. The one the queen had addressed first.

"Finally. Roman Dawn. He/him. But when he dresses feminine he will happily accept female pronouns and nicknames. Second born twin to Queen Daphne and Quin River. Bearer of the heir's crown, our future king."
