Don't Do That! (A KHR Fanfic)

Fandom: KHR Ship: 5996 (Gokudera/Chrome) Word Count: 1,017 Prompt: Written But Never Sent Event Host: @flufftober

"Wait! Don't do that!" Gokudera never felt so scared in his life. The Vongola were just trying to have a nice fall potluck dinner and they'd decided on a delicious hot pot style meal again. Everyone added their own ingredients but when he saw what Chrome was carrying, Gokudera's stomach turned. It was purple… it looked suspiciously of his sister's poison cooking. The same poison cooking that caused his stomach years of trauma as a child and was the reason he avoided cookies like the plague now unless he knew for a fact they had been made by one of the other girls or Nana herself.

The Vongola had decided to gather together for a small banquet to usher in the fall together, and decided on a potluck theme, each of the guardians could bring their own dish to share or an ingredient to add to the hotpot. It wasn't until Chrome went to add the tofu to the hotpot that Gokudera panicked and asked for her not to.

The tofu looked suspiciously like his older sister's poison cooking and he didn't want to take the risk of everyone getting sick. However, he was awestruck when he saw Chrome's cute little blush as she looked right at him, suddenly perplexed as to why he stopped her. Shit. He didn't expect to have to explain to her why she shouldn't poison the entire group with a slab of tofu from his sister nonetheless, an assassin from Italy, known for her deadly foods. Bianchi wasn't called the Poison Scorpion for nothing. Every boyfriend she'd had died from her cooking or ran away before he became the next victim. If that was something his sister made, they were screwed.

Or perhaps Gokudera was screwed. He hadn't expected Chrome to look so cute and to give him such a cute stare with one eye shining brightly and so innocently he decided then and there girls should be outlawed from giving those kind of looks to boys with soft hearts. He wasn't trying to ruin her fun so why did she have to give him such a cute pout? Illegal, that's what it should have been, downright a god damn crime to look so adorable.

He knew Chrome was shy and awkward. He knew she wasn't really socialized well and that the boys at Kokuyou that she was used to being around often treated her poorly so kindness and attention from a guy wasn't something she could adjust to so quickly or easily. There were a lot of things in fact that a boy with a genius IQ like his knew, but Gokudera didn't know he had a weakness for Chrome already. He also didn't know she would argue back.

"But…Gokudera-kun…" Chrome began her protest. She didn't understand how a simple plate of cut up tofu was a bad thing for a hot pot. Wasn't tofu healthier than salty cured meats? It could be flavorful and add a nice texture and contrast to the other ingredients and compliment the veggies nicely as well. she didn't understand how tofu could be a bad ingredient. She tilted her head again, trying to understand the situation. She had noticed before Gokudera wasn't often present at the dinner table when they trained in the future, sometimes the other girls would have to go hunt him down. Chrome stood her ground, she wasn't letting him get away without an answer. "You don't like tofu?" Tofu was delicious and nutritious as well when cooked the right way and served properly it could be savory or sweet. It was a perfect hot pot ingredient in Chrome's opinion.

He turned red as he realized she didn't see anything wrong with it. He didn't want to look like an ass, but right now that's exactly what he looked like. "No, Chrome. Tofu's delicious, it's just that the one you're holding looks suspiciously like my sister's poison cooking. I don't want everyone to get sick if she did add something with her own touch to it." His stomach hurt just thinking of it and recalling the pain he was left in every night after piano recitals thanks to his sister and her special cookies made with love.

Chrome shook her head. She brought the tofu herself, she watched carefully to make sure nothing contaminated her ingredient. She knew deep down he had nothing to fear. Chrome understood the importance of food safety and if anything had happened to her tofu, she wouldn't be very happy with whoever tampered with it. She might have been small, quiet and shy, but she wasn't someone to be taken lightly or messed with either. She was the other half of the Mist guardian duo for a really good reason. Mukuro wasn't the only one to fear, Chrome was strong in her own right as well and Chrome would never let something so vile as poison cooking taint her tofu.

She shook her head again. "No, Gokudera-kun. This isn't your sister's poison cooking. Look closer."

Gokudera inspected the tofu again and noted there were no bugs or foul odor coming from it indicating it might not be his sister's poison cooking. But what was with the strange purple coloration to it if Bianchi hadn't messed with it?

"Try a bite." Chrome insisted and sliced off a small corner piece for him to taste.

Though Gokudera hesitated at first, he wanted to make Chrome happy and he slowly took a bite and savored it. Relief flooded over him when he realized it wasn't poison cooking at all. It wasn't purple because it was spoiled either. "Ube?" He questioned the taste. Was it purple sweet potatoes that Chrome had used?

Chrome nodded. "Ube and purple cabbage. I boiled the tofu with them to give it extra flavor and that's where the purple color came from, sorry if it scared you at first."

Gokudera bowed his head in apology. "Please, Chrome. It's my fault for misunderstanding. I'm sorry I didn't trust your judgement. Please allow me to taste the tofu."

Chrome smiled and nodded and offered him a bite again. This time Gokudera accepted it and savored the taste.

He blacked out, it was poison cooking. His big sister Bianchi really had been in the kitchen after all.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

[evgar]

decided to redraw and improve this silly thing i did two years ago

here's the two compared like damn the colors on the first what was that 😭

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

Accidental Arranged Marriage AU (v1)

After a reveal gone... weird, the Fentons believe Danny is dead and haunting them and is in denial when he claims to be half alive. They mourn him, and maybe even blame themselves and their research for causing him to become a ghost rather than dying properly.

But he is still their son, and they can't bear to hurt him, so they instead turn to superstitions and traditions from other cultures to try to get him to "move on" or "appease his restless spirit" or "put him at rest."

(Danny is actually eating better than ever now that his parents are regularly leaving out offerings of food at his altar.)

Eventually they come across the ancient Chinese practice of ghost marriage and decide to give it a shot. Maybe Dann-o can't move on because he died single, right? According to their research, ghosts would sometimes appear in their family's dream to tell them which other deceased person they want to marry, so Jack and Maddie hold a seance to consult their dead son.

(you could've just asked, y'know. You don't have to light candles and incense every time you try to talk to me.)

Danny, by this point is exasperated by his parents' failed and increasingly ridiculous attempts, decides to play along and says he wants to marry the Dead Robin.

He didn't expect this to be the time his parents' hairbrained plans actually sorta works.

Anyway, now Danny has to find the poor ghost he accidentally married so that they can get a ghost divorce. Well, guess his parents are getting rid of him after all, because looks like he's going to Gotham.

Now if only the Bats would stop looking at him so weird whenever he says he needs find the dead Robin so that they can annul their marriage.

"Red Hood, what did you do!?!"

"Fuck off! I swear I've never met this guy in my life!"

The Bedazzler

After a very hazy night that... may or may not have been caused by something he found in the Ghost Zone, Danny ends up discovering in his haze he bought an absolutely outrageous amount of various craft supplies, especially shiny things like those little plastic rimstones.

Good news, everything was bought from a going out of business sale, so he didn't drain all of his funds. Bad news, everything was bought from a going out of business sale, which means he can't return them. And, frankly, he doesn't want to just throw away a bunch of stuff he paid for. But he still doesn't know what to do with it all.

At least until Clockwork decides to give Danny a small boon that lets him stop time. Then he gets some ideas.

It first starts off with Superman. He's doing his regular hero thing, when he suddenly feels his cape pulled to one side. He brushes it off as the wind, until people start pointing at his back. Clark nearly panics when he finds a bunch of green crystals on his cape, only to calm when he realizes they're plastic and attached with glue. That of course begs the question, who was able to glue gemstones to his back without him noticing?

Later that same day he's both amused and even more confused when Luthor appears again, only for a bunch of gem stickers to appear on top of his bald head, clearly arranged to spell out 'I Heart Superman' in icons.

Captain Marvel suddenly feels something appear on his head, only to discover it's some kind of cardboard crown. He's confused, but ultimately decides to wear it the rest of the day, thinking it might be from some meta fan of his.

Martian Manhunter finds a necklace appearing on him. When he pulls it off, he finds it's one of those Shrinky Dink plastics, designed to look like a medal that says '#1 Hero' on it, also with some extra plastic gems for extra bling. He wears it proudly for the rest of the day.

The Gotham Bats all get hit at the same time. Fake flowers, various colors of ribbons, Red Robin had a helium balloon attached to him for an hour, and of course plenty of shiny fake gems.

At first, everyone thought the funniest part of the mysterious crafts was Red Hood appearing with several rimstones attached to his hood where he mouth would be, several gold ones arranged in such a way that it looked like he was flashing a bunch of yellow teeth.

Then the Joker showed up. And was promptly doused in several pounds of glitter. Even better, it got into his eyes, effectively blinding him and giving the Bats a chance to capture him (after they were done laughing).

Of course, as more Leaguers get trolled, the more the stories start to paint a picture of someone running around pranking them. And many of them want to know just who this Bedazzler is.

Meanwhile, Danny is laughing his ass off and is planning on giving his friends a chance to have their own fun.

*pretending like i haven't been biting at the bars of my enclosure all week* so neat show, huh? [id in alt]

[lurukifennecfox]

Gotham was welcoming of Amity Parkers.

not as loving as with her own but she was way more patient with the people of her friend that any other outsiders.

so the people of Amity those Liminal and aware of her tried to pay her kindness back, to a reasonable degree of course but they could help and she let them stay so they did.

Paulina took it upon herself to make a nice place in the fashion district, she sold some charms to help with the curses as much as she could.

Sam being Sam opened a surprisingly Ivy Approved community garden and was very hard to convince not to join the Eco-terrorist but they managed to, thankfully.

the Fentons designed filters to help the 'Parkers but it was good for the city too if too little to do much.

Val hadn't moved here (yet) but she visited often enough and each visit volunteered somewhere.

Gotham grown to adore them almost as their own, she even hid them from the bats for a while to let them settle (and maybe help her more before her Knight inevitably got paranoid)

Gotham laughed when her King stumbled into her Red Knight, you could hear it in subtle ways the sounds of the night flowed just a little too much like a giggle.

Hood did deserve more good things she's proud of herself!

Prompt 331

Demon twins? Demon twins. 

Damian? Good at the assassin side of things, at least for a four year old, but Danyal? He’s okay, but he’s far better at things like poisons and bookkeeping. Which is honestly? Okay. They’re the League of Shadows, and sure a majority of the members are assassins, but it’s definitely not all there are. So? Danyal starts getting medical training. 

Not to say that either of the boys don’t know their fair share of violence and healing- it’s just better to let them play to their strengths. One doesn’t keep a league over centuries if they just have one type of warrior, or even just warriors. A variety is needed. 

So one gets trained more towards the business side of things. Damian may be better at wielding the weapons and killing- even if neither have had their first kill quite yet- but Danyal shows far more proficiency at acting, at masking who he is and gathering information. 

Damian, when he’s first sent to their Father, doesn’t mention his twin. Not because he’s jealous or hates him or anything like that. You just don’t talk about someone in an undercover mission in the League, and it’s not something he realizes isn’t a rule everywhere. 

Needless to say, the Bats have more than a mild freakout the first time Damian mentions a twin who will be coming to the manor now that his mission is over.

Clark used to visit Amity Park since his ma distant cousin lived there with her husband and two kids. By emacrow/creator

Jazz and Danny were the highlight of his time over there seeing them grow, before His time as a Hero took most of his time for 4 years, saving the world on multiple occasions, becoming part of the Justice league team, before he could take another visit to amity park.

Driving in the car with lois to tell the kids about him being Superman and an alien since Maddie wanted him to surprise danny for his graduation a few years back.

Only he felt nervous, because he was not hearing her heartbeat..

Or anyone else in the matter of driving closer to the town. Clark pressed the drive harder, not caring at the moment if he got a ticket later. Something had gone wrong, terribly wrong.

By the time they have drove near the beginning line of Amity Park.. the welcome sign was half way destroyed. Clark's heart sank harder then a stone in water as he stared at the town..

Town that surrounded with barbed steel wall with electricity defense, Do not cross, BioHazard, Radiation Hazard, Danger keep out tape all over a steel door that looked old, bented with claw marks, gun shots marks and dried green splatter gunk.

Clark got out of the car so fast that Flash would've been impressed, as Lois calls out to him, but he wasn't listening as he flew over going through the town.

Not a single soul or heartbeat in sight and hearing, beside torn apart homes, buildings, dead bodies in people in white suits, more glowing Green goo that covered most of the places, ground and trees..

He was too panic to notice the glowing eyes and static noises peering out the windows of the homes and in the torn buildings.

He wants to scream and cry before he heard it.

A distant, very slow heartbeat, as Clark flew over straight towards it. The street was becoming familiar as he flew closer. This was the route to Maddie's house.

Her house was the worst of them all, the very house barely standing up if it weren't for the broken building on the left being the only support.

Clark nearly ripped open the front door to enter only to froze in place as the sight before him shook him to the very core.

It looks as if a massacre had happened with dead bodies of people in white suits and masks piled the place.

His instinct took over, grabbing a bat about to swing at his face, for him to turn and see a familiar face holding a glowing bat covered in spikes stared at him.

"Uncle Clark?" Jazz spoke, Sounded hoarse and cracked, her left eye had a burnt scar over as she was wearing one of those fenton suits with a baby sling on with a sleeping little boy with white hair and green eyes, a giant crown lay on his neck in the baby sling.

"Clark could fly?" A small girl that look too similar to Danny spoke behind Jazzy.

I've seen a lot of different takes on Fear Toxin/other fear causing stuff (Yellow Lanterns Ring or something)(later just called Fear Toxin cause I'm lazy) but here is another one.

Danny seems like he isn't affected by Fear Toxin because his biggest fear is that his accident changed him so much he is no longer human, he can no longer truly experience human things.

So when he gets lungful of fear Toxin, he feels normal. He was antsy before, because c'mon, it's a rogue attack but it's not worse. Or so he thought. Because the anxiety lingers. Not enough to register as abnormal just this slight hypervigilance that makes you see things about yourself and your surroundings that you'd never realize otherwise. He'd realize he doesn't blink as often. He'd realize that if he doesn't consciously focus, he sometimes seems to not touch the ground. Forgets to breathe. He can't feel his own pulse at time. He'd realize people will miss him when he's walking down the street as if he was invisible (people just don't care about everyone they pass by). When he'd look straight into his reflection, he'd look slightly to the left. Not enough to actually name anything that was wrong but just stretched enough to fall on the wrong side of the uncanny valley. If he just caught his reflection in the peripheral vision, it'd be vaguely shadowy creature with glowing green eyes and white smoke instead of hair. Overall he'd be just wrong enough to be distinctly not human.

For everyone else, he'd be just a dude. Literally couldn't find more normal dude than this dude. Will pass as absolutely normal human unless someone is specifically looking for ecto-ghost stuff. Even most magic users wouldn't clock him at the glance

Tldr: Fear Toxin makes Danny perceive himself as some sort of eldritch horror but not enough to make him believe he'd actually be affected, while from outside perspective he's Just A Dude™
