Fic Update: Reaching For Your Hand, Chapter Three
Chapter Snippet:
ā€œOh G-God,ā€ Hunkā€™s whimper sounded from up above and Shiro jerked his head up to see Hunk ā€” his rope cutting off a few feet above Shiro ā€” staring down with tears starting to form in already red-rimmed eyes. ā€œL-Lance.ā€
Lance didnā€™t react.Ā 
The cavern did though.
Another groan reverberated through it and there was the skittering sound indicating loose shale that always preceded a larger piece of rock breaking off.
But the worst of the sound was across the cavern.
This time.
The entire cave still shook as the rock smashed through the intertwined path, dust and smaller rocks breaking off around them and a few pinging off of Lance who still didnā€™t react and Shiro was starting to fear he wouldnā€™t.
He shoved the thought away.
Lance was right there.Ā 
Despite the odds, literally at the end of their rope, theyā€™d found him.Ā 
That had to mean something.
The universe couldnā€™t be that cruel.

I love when a team soothes a character.
I love when the character is hurt and pained with glossy eyes on the edge of tears when their friends get to them.
I love the shushing and holding and murmuring and gentle touches.
I love when the character gasps for air, pushing themselves to speak, trying desperately to get words out, and the team just gently rebukes them, tells them not to speak.
The character remembers everything that happened, the fear, the danger, the threatening words from their attacker. They have to let the team know, have to tell them, have to get it out now.
They try desperately to get the words out, gasping for air and choking on it, almost on the verge on tears as they sputter incoherently.
But the team, they know itā€™s important, they know theyā€™ll need to be told. But they also know right now the character needs calm, needs to be calm, above all else.
So they shush them calmly against their pleas and protests, tell them to relax, to be calm, soothe them. The character nearly bursts into tears but they hold them softly and tell them itā€™s alright, itā€™s alright, right now they need to sleep.
The character, amidst their tears, is lulled to bed amongst the rocking of the teammate and their own strained pleas.

Whump Prompt #1083
Your non-human caretakers protectively take the sick/injured human to their lair to help them. However, their limited knowledge on humans means that they are accidentally doing more harm than good... how long until they finally cave and take them to a hospital/healer/other humans for help?

cw: past whump, protective caretaker, dialogue, implied whumpee breakdown, friendly work setting
caretaker and whumpee live together. they've known eachother for a while and caretaker knows about everything the whumpee's been through before they met.
they also work at the same company. when caretaker gets a text from supervisor, they head right to their office but before they can get to the door, they spot a person standing next to a water cooler by the office. it was whumper.
caretaker's heart skips a beat, but they try to not show it. they've only encountered the whumper about two times before, but they'd recognise that face anywhere. why are they here?
caretaker wonders if the whumper recognises them as well, the answer being clear as day the moment whumper gives them a patronising, smug smile they can only see for a second before they enter the office.
"caretaker! good to see you," their supervisor greets them with a smile, along with a few coworkers who were in the office as well.
"good to see you too," caretaker tries to reciprocate the warm greeting, but can't hide the way their throat suddenly goes dry. they swallow before continuing, "listen, who's that person outside your office?"
supervisor looks at them a bit confused, but answers anyway as they take a sip of their coffee: "their name is whumper, I just hired them. why?"
"is whumpee here?" caretaker shoots the next question immediately as they visibly grow worried.
"they just left, actually. looked like they were in a hurry, too."
"god damn- did they talk to eachother?"
"I don't-? caretaker, what is this?" supervisor puts their coffee mug down as they and the rest of the crew eye caretaker.
"supervisor, did they or did they not talk to each other," caretaker urges. if this wasn't a professional setting, they'd probably grab supervisor by the shoulders at this point.
"um, i think i saw them exchange a few words?" a coworker chimed in.
"fuck," caretaker uttered, "god fucking damn it. listen, we need to put a pin in this, i need to go find whumpee, like, right now. i probably shouldn't talk about it but i just know that they're not having a good time." they explain briefly as they gather their things.
"we'll help," supervisor put a hand on caretaker's back. "you know them best. where do you suggest we look?"
caretaker gives them a thankful look before the whole group storms out of the office.

Phantom is a member of JLA when everyone finds out that the Bats have contingency plans against everyone else.
While everyone else is shouting about trust and betrayal, Danny can't help but be relieved. He's seen his bad future, after all. Dan is reformed now, but that doesn't retroactively save the timeline he wiped out.
Danny only has one issue with the contingencies for him: Batman mistakenly believes that his intangibility works the same as Martian density shifting.
It doesn't. In fact, they're very different powers. Intangibility is more of a phase shift where he turns his physical form into energy.
This means that none of the contingencies in his file will work because they don't accurately account for one of his basic powers.
(The shouting actually gets derailed for a bit when he brings it up. All the scientists are a bit horrified about the implied energy conversions happening whenever he uses this "basic" power. As a halfa with an actual physical form, Danny should be giving off enough energy to blow up the planet whenever he transforms.)

despite Laios low self esteem making him think that if heā€™d been eaten, Chilchuck and Marcille wouldnā€™t have helped Falin,
theres a small part of me that thinks the reason Chilchuck stayed with the party and went back in the dungeon in the first place was because he didnā€™t want to leave Laios alone. That Laios was moreso the reason he stayed.
#dungeon meshi#chilaios#OK SORRY. THE DEMONS. I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO LIKE THIS PAIRING. I DIDNT. BUT. HHH. FHFHJFJV. I FEEL CRAZY. LET ME EXPLAIN.#Pre canon it seems Laios is the person Chilchuck is really the closest to#He gets along with Namari and they are probably way better as buddies than he and Laios but#He and Laios seem *closer*#If that makes sense#Laios calls him his first name enough and without any issue or hesitation from Chilchuck#That I sort of inagine its not like. A misunderstanding. Laios is on a first name basis with him for a reason.#He also worries probably more than anyone about Laios#And his biggest criticism of him is that hes ā€œrecklessā€#heā€™s comfortable around Laios in a very specific way and so is Laios around him#and in the series he shows many times that heā€™ll risk his life to protect Laios#Like staying with him to confront the elves because he was worried Laios would say something stupid#Hes the first one to run up to him when Falin punches him#I mean I think he was also going back for Falin like its not like I think he doesnā€™t care about her or anything#He clearly does#But I donā€™t know if heā€™d have gone back if Laios hadnā€™t#And if Laios had been eaten I think he wouldnā€™t have even had to be convinced by Falin#I also think Marcille wouldā€™ve gone back for him but probably more bc Falin was going back#Like sort of a reversed thing#AGAIN not that I donā€™t think she cared about Laios at the beginning either#But she before the story she was mostly Falinā€™s friend who knew Laios through Falin#She only really got to know him when Falin got eaten and they had to do a team building exercise#Though now I sort of want to see an actually reversed scenario#Bc we also know that Chilchuck is sort of uncomfortable around Falin (said in relationship chart)#So I would love to see them be forced into a team building exercise to find a person they both love the way Laios and Marcille were

09 ghost sleeps curled up as tight as possible; knees tucked to his chest, arms wrapped protectively around them, wedged into the corner against the wall. anything he can to try and feel secure
that doesn't change when he finally starts staying after sex with mactavish; even with mactavish there he just can't let himself relax. canā€™t convince himself that heā€™s safe
mactavish notices; of course he does, he notices everything about riley
that's why he also notices when it starts to change
months pass and riley stops tucking his arms under his legs, instead just loosely holding them to his chest. then his legs start to relax, slowly spreading out until mactavish can fit his arm between them and his chest for riley to latch onto
it takes years, unwinding muscle by muscle before he finally sleeps splayed out across the bed. he doesn't shove himself into the corner anymore
instead, he trusts mactavish; trusts him to have his back, trusts his bulk to hide him from anyone that would burst through the door
he sleeps better with mactavish's arm slung over his waist, his stomach pressing into his back and legs tangled through his own, than he ever did curled into the corner

Fic Update: Here, Chapter Seven
ā€œI,ā€ Lanceā€™s voice, quietĀ  as it was, sounded like a gunshot and Shiro was not the only one who startled as this was the first time Lance had spoken to them, as he looked up at Coran. ā€œI killed you.ā€
ā€œYou tried to,ā€ Coran gently corrected, not giving any indication he was thrown by both Lanceā€™s sudden bout of speech nor his dark words. ā€œBut, and correct me if I am wrong, I do not think you wanted to do so.ā€
Lanceā€™s jaw clenched and he looked down.
ā€œI,ā€ his throat bobbed, ā€œI donā€™t know.ā€
ā€œWhat does your heart tell you?ā€ Coran asked softly.
Lance tensed but didnā€™t answer.
He was trembling again, Shiro noticed.Ā 
Next to him Hunk made a soft sound and carefully laid a hand on Lanceā€™s shoulderā€¦
And Lance relaxed ever so at the touch.
It gave Shiro hope.

Summary: [Third and final part to the Sniper trilogy] Voltron has rescued Lance but the person with them now is not the same boy they once knew. Even outside the Galransā€™ influence Lance believes himself to be Sniper, an assassin to the Galra Empire with his final mission to eliminate Voltron. Itā€™s going to be a long, difficult journey that they know wonā€™t end even when Lance does remember them as then heā€™ll also remember all of the horrors he committed as Sniper and have to come to terms with what he did. But they do know theyā€™ll be there for him every step of the way because Lance was gone, heā€™s been found and now heā€™s here, with his space family, to stay.

Weaponized whumpee who people are terrified of.
Feared by their friends, their team; even whumper.
They were dangerous no matter how hard whumpee tried to control it. They were surrounded by their team who argued amongst each other over what to do with them.
Were they safe to be around? What if they lost control? It's only a matter of time, right?
Whumpee kept their eyes low. Their hands balled into fists, but they felt themselves squeezing another hand.
"Hey. Are you good?" Caretaker asked, wrapping an arm around them to block some of the shouting.
"I'm calm." Whumpee whispered back, worried to give anything but a positive response. They didn't want to scare caretaker too...
"Okay, why don't we go somewhere quiet for a bit." Caretaker didn't wait and had already pulled them to their feet. Their team didn't notice the departure; they were deep in argument over if they should hand whumpee to a lab to "de-weaponize them" or kill them outright.
The second the door shut, caretaker wrapped whumpee in their arms. They could feel whumpee shaking; they were just as terrified of the team as they were of them.Ā 
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

one of the things that continues to strike me on reread is how much the character of Darcy, and Austen through him, finds Mr. Bennet dead. And how much Elizabeth, in growing and changing and discarding her past blindness, has to move past her way of seeing her father and thus of seeing reality, because the two are connected! Darcyā€™s letter exposes her fatherā€™s flaws to Elizabeth in a way sheā€™d never been able to see before. Most especially the way his laziness and neglect of his own gifts have hurt his family and that ultimately he doesnā€™t. care. Not enough to change. It literally says that she comes home from Hunsford and tries to laugh at her sistersā€™ and motherā€™s folly (the way she used to; the way her father has taught her to by example for her whole life) and she canā€™t anymore! It sticks in her throat. She is grieved by the failures that she sees in him, all the more so because she IS his favorite and she loves him! And the thing about Mr. Bennet is he never changes. The Lydia/wickham situation exposes to him sharply his own conduct and the consequences and he feels it! Because he is neither stupid nor unfeeling. But he, like everyone, has free will. And he chooses not to change when the opportunity presents itself. He even jokes about how quickly his feeling bad will pass and how soon everything will go back to normal, to his laziness and his selfishness. He is set in his ways and he serves as a contrast to Elizabethā€™s personal journey because he embodies a version of a person she could have become and was in danger of becoming if her only goal at all times was to laugh at and judge people from the sidelines.
#pride and prejudice#Iā€™ve always loved his character because he IS funny and he is iconic!!! and his love for Lizzy is touching!#heā€™s not faking it.#but he is so flawed. a man of taste a man of ability a man of judgment.#a man who could and SHOULD have set a different tone for his children and chose not to!#and they SUFFER FOR IT#their house is a divided one. and every child feels the pain of living in a house where the parents neither respect each other#nor are on the same team#there is a crack running through their house for this reason and itā€™s how Lydia (and Kitty) came to be so neglected!#who is going to discipline them or guide them? certainly not Mr. Bennet!#heā€™s so important to teach too. because the boys LOVE HIM. of course!#and are always very struck by his failures and laziness once I point it out#and yeah Darcy one of the only people who can expose him. because Darcy is putting in the work a man should be doing#Darcyā€™s house IS in order. his love is active and protective. he is fulfilling his role!#Mr. Bennetā€™s gifts are so extraordinaryā€”the wit. the insight into human nature. honestly the capacity for wisdom#but he likes his library. he likes enjoying himself more than he likes doing his duty#as either a father or a husband#he does fail Mrs. Bennet! I have compassion for her there#anyway I love to think about this: something no version I have ever seen has ever fully explored#but man is it on the page#yeah yeah sorry for all the words. teacher off duty etc.
