Small Milo/Sweetheart scene!! lets go!! god I missed these guys

anyway it's below the cut <33

Milo remembered it like it was yesterday.

This was after Sweetheart had disclosed to him that they shut themselves away because they were having a panic attack. Milo, concern coursing through him despite their casual tone, asked why they hadn't said anything.

"There are warning signs, but sometimes it's too late," they explained, drawing random patterns against Milo's bicep. "The milder ones, they're different. It's kinda like--it's kinda like being too close to a train as it passes."

"A train?"

Sweetheart nodded. "The rumbling, the unsettled feeling in your soul as the very ground beneath your feet shifts and sways. The way that as it's passing it almost takes your breath away, either in awe or fear. And there's usually the horn. The horn is the worst. It's so loud, but loud for a reason. A purpose. It's a warning, and sometimes you should listen to it, other times you just have to wait. And that's the key. You're feeling all of these things, and experiencing this in real life, but there's a part of you that knows it's going to end. Either in 5 minutes or forty-five, it will end. You're not stuck forever. You just gotta distract yourself until it's gone."

Milo took a few moments to process what was just said to him. Sweetheart's hands never stopped moving, soothing him without realizing it. He compared that analogy to how they acted in the past, how they refused to talk to him about certain ones. Either because talking would make it worse or because they felt it wasn't necessary.

"Is that the way you feel when you cloak?" He asked cautiously.

Sweetheart chuckled, a smile stretching across their face. "God no. Those ones feel like I'm under the train."

"Under it?"

"Yeah," they sighed, moving their hands from him to mock what they were about to say, "Certain death if I move the wrong way, or at all. Fight or flight is heightened to the point it's suffocating. Loud, and dangerous, and never-ending. Seconds stretching into hours"

They said it so casually like it was just something people deal with.

"Jesus Christ, Sweetheart."

Sweetheart smiled at him sheepishly, wrapping their arms around his bicep to rest their chin on his shoulder. "Sorry. I forgot I don't normally verbalize these things to you."

Their smile was warm, their eyes soft. Milo found his chest tightening at the sight, heart squeezing for his Sweetheart. Oh, if he could take this away from them--this feeling, this ailment--he would in a heartbeat. Anything to see this smile unhindered every day that he is alive.

"I love you, you know that," Milo said, the words being the only ones he could muster.

"I hope so," Sweetheart said quietly. turning their face to press a kiss into his skin. "'Cause you're stuck with me, unfortunately. Court mandated.

Milo leaned down to give Sweetheart a kiss, holding the back of their head to pull them even closer. "I hope the sentence is for life, if that's the case," he muttered against their lips.

Sweetheart scoffed, pushing his face away in embarrassment.

The trend using the song Nasty Dog by Sir Mix-a-lot is very Sweetheart and Milo coded

And it can go both ways for who represents what lyrics…

[poedays]

Some Headcanons I have for the listener characters for Redacted/Castle Audios (for funsies):

Castle - Ranger, Seer, Knight, Sugar, Dewdrop, and Dear/Bud

Redacted - Angel, Babe, Sweetheart, Tank, Lovely, and Honey

Castle:

Ranger:

- Looks like the phrase ‘ladies and gentleman’.

- Owns a pair of docs but stopped wearing them because they hurt their feet.

- Has a vintage Hindustan Contessa car in a beige colour.

- > has one of those fluffy dice decorations because Isiah gave them one for Christmas.

- >> they took it down after getting their memories back.

Seer:

- Has grey-ish blue eyes and when they use their powers they flash a bright white.

- Framed a piece of paper with Beth’s work signature on it and hung it where she pushed them against a wall in their house.

- Likes really big dangling earrings but can’t wear them for long otherwise they give Seer a headache.

- Tristan asked Seer to see into his future but instead of something cool, they saw him tripping over his own untied shoelaces.

Knight:

- Has an ‘I love my lesbian sister’ T-shirt, and Claire has a matching ‘I love my ally brother’. (Can be queer sister, ally sibling, or literally any matching queer shirts - I just thought it was fun).

- Is totally into Evie biting them and liked the thought before she was turned into a vampire.

- Knight never walks in front of Claire when the two are walking together, only beside her or behind her. They’re scared she’ll disappear again.

- Being introduced to people as ‘Knight’ gives them a confidence boost every time.

Dewdrop:

- Would own a pet snake.

- > Would call it something either ridiculous or super serious.

- >> “This is my little boy: Sir Serpent Snake-Sir the third”. Or “That’s Bob.”

- Chloe has a birthmark on her thigh that they love to kiss.

Sugar:

- Had a favourite jacket they were wearing before getting turned with a bunch of pins and patches on it -> but it was covered in blood stains after they were attacked and now they never wear it.

- > Their turning was a full on attack that was very bloody.

- Looks 20 but is like 98

- Is such a Valentine’s Day snob and would either proclaimed it’s a false holiday made to make profit from love, or they’d be 100% into it and go wild with roses and wine. (Basically they’d either be Damien or Huxley when it comes to Valentines).

- Saw Liza when she was a high school student but only has a vague memory of it so they can never place where they’ve seen her from before.

Dear/Bud:

- Has Heterochromia, left eye is blue and the other is brown. Totally doesn’t symbolise the two different characters that they’re involved with. Totally.

- Has GAD and takes medication for it, but prefers to have Rose in their head sometimes to help their overwhelming thoughts.

- Monster energy drink addict (Abby got them into them) it is not good for their anxiety (Rose would much rather they drink tea).

Redacted:

Angel:

- Likes to bake but forgets to set a timer, then forgets there’s something in the oven and has almost ended up burning the house down -> David has banned Angel from using the oven when he’s not around.

- Tried and failed to get their driver’s license five times.

- Has a tattoo sleeve with little Animal Crossing and Minecraft references mixed in there.

- Romanced either Sebastian or Shane in Stardew Valley.

Babe:

- Is an only child but has a younger step-sister they see on holidays.

- Likes to carry Asher around sometimes -> wears light and layered clothing so you wouldn’t assume they have muscles but actually have quite a bit.

- Makes Asher little packed lunches for when he has pack meetings and they’re not going.

- Is dyslexic, and needs glasses, words don’t like to word for Babe.

- Has painted Angels nails on numerous occasions.

Sweetheart:

- To empowered people they have tattoo like white marks on their collarbones and under their eyes (Stealth things (also can choose to show them, so people can’t tell right away)).

- Needs reading glasses.

- Has phased in their sleep and woken up above the blankets somehow?

- When they panic they cloak and uncloak really quickly so it kinda looks like they’re teleporting.

Tank:

- Has a bunch of siblings (Tank is towards the older end of the lot) and was heartbroken when they all moved away and none of them chose to stay with them in Dahlia.

- Easily sunburnt.

- Tried to count Sam’s freckles once without telling him what they were doing and kinda just stared at him while gradually getting closer. Eventually they ended up getting his shirt off to count more of them, and Sam just sat there flustered and confused.

- Has 100% played ‘Save a horse (Ride a cowboy)’ to serenade Sam.

Lovely:

- Their hair has started to turn white from stress.

- A lot of their hair was muddy and bloody after getting captured by Adam, so the morning after they were saved Vincent helped them chop off bits that couldn’t be salvaged.

- Used to think their brown eyes were boring but after they turned they miss their old eyes every time they look in a mirror.

- Is absolutely amazing at board/card games.

- > Somehow always wins Game of Life even through it’s pretty much a game of chance.

- > Got Sam, Vincent and Tank to play Monopoly with them and all three were bankrupt within half an hour.

- > Also dabbles in chess.

Honey:

- Works from home most days and has an office with a ‘No Guy Allowed’ sign on the door.

- For Guy’s birthday one year Honey learnt how to crochet and made an amazing sweater with a bunch of granny squares specific to Guy’s interests. Honey is all embarrassed about it because they know where all the little errors are but Guy loves it to death.

- Has picked up Guy to move him out of their way.

- Also plays Stardew Valley sometimes and is like five years in but hasn’t married anyone.

- > Has high hearts with the Wizard.

Thanks for reading! I’ve got more Redacted/Castle rambles on my blog. ❤️

[stardreamers25]

This is Artemis Hawthorne, my Sweetheart listener. One of my favorite designs for my Redacted listeners so far

Some small facts about them;

While they like the use of any pronouns (they are genderfluid), they usually prefer they/them on most days

Artemis is Arab. They can also speak Arabic

Artemis has one tattoo so far; one on their left arm (they want another one)

They are pretty skilled at weaponry usage (was raised on learning self defense of any kind)

When they were younger, they had a favorite weighted cat plush that would ease their anxiety attacks

Without the heels, they are exactly 6 ft tall

Artemis wanted to learn archery, but never got the chance (still wants to)

Their favorite ice cream is salted caramel

When they get slightly anxious, they fiddle with their wedding ring. It grounds them and makes them think of Milo

No one:

Sweetheart fucking with Milo cause they think it's funny

[plutocries]

I'm still working on my redacted audio listener OCs, but here some sneak peak doodles of these sillies

David and my angel listner

Milo and my sweetheart

Asher and my Darlin

[somethin-human]

“Tank and Sweetheart dated”

“Tank and sweetheart knew each other in the past”

No, the only reason why they have a past with each other is bc Sweetheart arrested Tank for some reason and then kept in touch afterwards.

Someone please write a fanfic

[tankwolf]

Not finished but like. Crying my eyes out.

milo truly coming for vincent’s #1 simp place in redactedverse just from this year’s hot boi summer video because sweetheart could complain about how they wish global warming came to an end and milo would’ve restored the earth’s ozone layer in 5 business days max

*steps up to mic, clear throat*

Delinquent Teen Sweetheart.

*steps away *

[bratty-telepath]

Ok but consider that SH just can casually pick anyone in the pack up. Like Milo knows this, he's a victim; Angel knows this cuz they jump in SH's arms all the time, but the rest of the pack doesn't know this.

They find out when Asher asks them to lift him cuz he wants to know if they can. They can, easy peasy. Christian gets snuck up on and they lift from behind. David doesn't say shit but for a hot second, he realises he's not on the ground and is actually being carried around by SH like he's a goddamn sack of cotton.

[mr-laveau]

Ayo it's your boy, uhh, skinny penis- bitch you know who tf it is hi munchkin <3 xoxo

What's your listener's name and nickname? Sweetheart, name pending,,,,

What's their backstory? As you may or may not remember - My SH is Afro-Latinx, from an empowered family. The previous generation (their parents) called out DUMP on mistreatment of human born and unempowered humans (being detained, lack of jobs and representation) which started a whole commotion for the treatment of everyone but empowered humans (feeders, humanborn, and unempowered humans) and led to restructuring of DUMP. Think if there was a magical civil rights act and equal employment act. Anyway, my SH comes into play when DUMP catches them in the wrong place/wrong time and some higher ups think this is the perfect moment for revenge - either SH goes to jail and destroys their family's upright reputation and a family member's run for office OR they work for DUMP as a way to keep an eye on the family. They hate every second of it and face a lot of pressure to conform (gender presentation wise, accepting smart comments about being a stealth and some other microaggressions) but they want to protect their family.

What's the desired aesthetic of your listener character (punk, greaser, bimbo, scene kid, schoolgirl)? I'm feeling make noir sexy again. Like if you made a 1940s mafia boss in modern day and VERY sexy but also stylish. Gotta keep up with fresh to death did you see my ice Milo Greer. Pinstripes, suspenders, harnesses/holsters, etc. But like also in a bring your own gender I don't trust your gender with raisins in it kind of way.

What's your listener's gender presentation like? Yeah so gender as in mind your business. Androgynous as in I do what I want. It's masc, it's femme, it's ambiguous, it's all of the above. Really the point is constantly serving hot girl (gn) shit and looking super sexy next to Milo. They're that super hot stylish couple everyone wishes at least a little bit they dressed like because it looks effortless. My SH uses they/them pronouns and identifies as queer as in what's it to you (or genderfluid!)

What's your listener's ethnicity? Afro-Latinx! I wanted a listener who could dance bachata, okay? They're Dominican.

What's your listener's age? Ummmmmm. I think about the same age as Milo, maybe a year older? So 31 this year.

What's your listener's body type/build? Taller than Milo for SURE, I think they're like tall-tall. Like at least 5'10. Also they're a dancer and a runner (investigator things) (perhaps they were even a track star) so they've got a tall, muscular kind of body type - but don't be afraid to give them some body fat! They're strong!

What's your listener's star sign? Taurus!

What are your listener's most important relationships and who are they connected to? Their most important relationships are for SURE with their family. Since dating Milo, they finally told their family why they started working for DUMP (lots of anxiety but they were met with a lot of support and love). They are super close to their family (which is a big extended family, lots of aunt and uncles and cousins and nieces and nephews and so on) and so they spend lots of time at family dinners/parties/celebrations and love to bring Milo with them. Because their family (unintentionally at first) became so politically active in Dahlia for the rights of human-born, unempowered humans, and feeders, they have a lot of political connections through their own work and through their family members - definitely in a well connected family!

What's your listener's hobbies/interests? They love to dance - big inspiration for them. They like partner dances and particularly love Bachata (something something fond memories watching their parents and family dance together and learning as they grew up) but they just like to dance in general. You will be catching them at Zumba classes at the local gym with the aunties and grandmas. They're also really connected to community events - there was a lot of distrust created by them joining DUMP and so they are really invested in their community service and improving their community. They loooove to cook, but they're a "let's cook together" not "I'm cooking get out of the kitchen" kind of person. Definitely a food experimenter and sometimes it can go badly. Also makes a mean cocktail - always invited to dinner parties or wanting to host them with Milo.

If your listener was a deity from a known mythology, what deity would they be? Why would you ask me this. I don't know! Maybe Terpsichore, one of the nine Greek muses associated with dancing? You don't understand how central dance is to this character. They are always dancing.

What Audio RP series are they from? RedactedASMR - Sweetheart

What kind of lover are they to their partner/what kind of friend are they? In a few words - silly-goofy, observant, and a whore (said with love). As for a friend, still silly-goofy and observant, but I think they're affectionate as hell. Think of a really sociable cat.

What is something/are some things that your listener values? They really value family and community - firm believer in it takes a village and we are all our brother's keeper (except of course when it comes to them because they should be able to help everyone and not need any help themselves. sweetheart things.) There is no understanding how invested they are in protecting and standing up for their community and that's why they put in 4x more work (and overtime) than others at DUMP - they believe in helping people and not going with the easy solution. So family, community, doing something you're passionate about every day, and fairness/justice.

Pick a song that you think represents your listener. https://open.spotify.com/track/3qQbCzHBycnDpGskqOWY0E?si=e8cb80d8d36a45b3 This song started making me think about songs for listeners to dance to and kind of kick-started this whole idea. I just have an image of Milo and SH dancing to this song together in the kitchen while something is simmering on the stove ok?

What's the inspiration behind your listener's design? I wanted a listener who could dance really well, and decided a speaker who DEFINITELY can dance is Milo. And then I had to figure out the whole cop thing, so here we are.

Could you give me a vague concept of what your listener's visual vibe is? Modernized sexy noir film - but if you could be the femme fatale and the detective and the criminal at any given point. Truly, they do it all.

What are some extra tidbits you wanna tell me about your listener? Neither Milo nor Sweetheart are good with scary stuff (despite them being a stealth) and neither of them are killing bugs. They call David or Asher to handle them (I think David kills them but Asher puts them outside). Sweetheart and Aggro? Best friends. Milo complains that they're closer than him and Aggro - something about a stealth having cat energy and Aggro just gets it. "The girls that get it, get it, Milo."

Laveau's Listener Design Lab - design #001 - Sweetheart - Lexi Moon

Heyyyy Lexi! Good to see you in my inbox and congrats on getting your listener as the first design for the labs! It was wonderful getting to work on a SH and your concept really stood out to me when I first saw it so I had to draw it up!

Design Notes!

For this design, your initial concepts made me think of a few people I could implement for inspirations to your SH's design. Those people being Catwoman from DC and Gomez Addams from the Addams Family!

From Gomez, I wanted to make Sweetheart's suit similar to the patterning of Gomez's while adding Catwoman's femme fatale flair to the design. You made a note where you wanted SH to look like a detective, a femme fatale and a criminal all in one go so I chose to aim for darker blues to show professionalism whilst implying a sense of mystery to the character–and of course we can't forget every femme fatale's signature bold lipstick colour. You can also see some of Catwoman's influence in the nails as I figured it'd be fun for them to make witty remarks while snapping back at Milo with hand gestures. Additionally, I decided to add a few embellishments to show SH's lack of total compliance to the dress code of D.U.M.P by giving them piercings and tattoos; The moon earrings here is my favourite because every SH should have a moon motif but also given the symbolisms associated with the moon and the energy you wanted your SH to capture, I felt it was the perfect choice; the blue rose tattoos are also fun imo because the thorns can be interpreted as restrictive shackles or as "a rose with thorns", the choice to also incorporate blue roses was also informed by my knowledge of what they mean symbolically (that being mystery, admiration, uniqueness and aspiration) . Finally, I also tailored SH's clothes to be more ready for action whilst being fashionable and danceable (including the oxford shoes I added) so they can always move unrestrained whilst also being the hottest thing that Milo ever laid eyes on.

Overall, this was a really fun concept for me to work on and I really enjoyed being able to design your listener, hope you enjoy!

Sickfic

Characters: Milo/sweetheart

Milo gets a cold on a rainy job:(

Sweetheart rested idly on the couch, their feet on the ottoman and their hands busy with a book. Sighing they turned the page, waiting for Milo to come home.

Rain roughly pattered the roof, thinking nothing of it they ignored it.

Two pages later they heard keys jingling and the front door rattling, a wet and cold Milo walked through the door, sniffling and red nosed.

He threw his wet jacket, and shirt into a pile by the door, peeling them from his skin and shivering.

“Geez Milo what the hell happened to you?” Sweetheart jumped up, striding over to the foyer.

Milo coughed before speaking.

“Outside gig today. Rained all day. No umbrellas.” Milo spoke, his teeth clattering.

Sweetheart rose their brows, frustrated almost, they walked over to Milo, holding his cheek with their hand.

“Jesus Milo your freezing!” They said, moving their hand away. Milo quickly grabbed their wrist and put it back.

“Your hands are warm..” he mumbled, shivering still.

Sweetheart nodded, understanding. He was about to begin talking before he was bent into his elbow and sneezing a few times.

He sneezed maybe 3 or 4 times before straightening up.

“Why don’t you go take a warm bath or shower Milo? Warm you up and I can make you some tea or something?” They asked, holding his back and walking slowly toward their shared bathroom.

Milo shrugged, still sniffling. He eventually agreed much to sweethearts delight. He knew they cared for him and seeing him like this definitely worried them.

“Did Asher and Arden and the others get sick to you think?” Sweetheart asked in a low voice, sitting him down on the edge of the tub, so they could help him get his shoes off.

Milo shrugged. “Probably to be honest but I wouldn’t know. Ash seemed fine but Arden and Miguel looked pretty rough.” Milo spoke quietly, he sniffled loudly in a rough attempt to breathe properly out of his nose.

Sweetheart moved toward his feet to take his shoes off.

“Oh sweetheart you don’t have to—,” he sneezed and looked back at them.

“Don’t worry about it Milo, just relax..” they spoke softly, rubbing his thigh gently.

Milo nodded reluctantly. Sweetheart slipped his work boots off, and then his pants, they came off difficultly, the water making them stick to his legs.

He kept his underwear on until the bath was ready. Just sitting at the edge of the tub before sweetheart rose to their feet.

They reached over and began running the water, turning it as hot as it could be.

“Here okay just wait for it to fill up alright? Do you want bubbles or anything?” They asked, resting a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it three times.

He shook his head, moving his hand over theirs, squeezing it three times back.

An unspoken “i love you.”

Sweetheart smiled at him. Squeezing his hand three times in return.

“So do you want tea or something? Maybe some nightquill?” Sweetheart asked, still concerned but a little more at ease.

Milo nodded. “Yes. To both.” He replied, “thank you sweetheart.” He said to them, but they were already out of the room.

By the time sweetheart had returned Milo was already in the bath, seemingly warmer and more relaxed. It was obvious he had a cold, his face was red and he hadn’t stop coughing and sniffling.

“Here you go, take this.” Sweetheart handed him the medicine cup of nightquill, he took it quickly, making a nasty face as it went down.

“It should help your throat and put you right to sleep later.” Sweetheart spoke and set the tea beside him. Milo nodded, watching as sweetheart sat on the ledge beside him.

Milo sighed, sniffing again. Sweetheart put their hand on his cheek, rubbing it gently.

“I’m sorry you got sick Milo.” They whispered. Milo’s shrugged, looking back at them.

“It’s okay sweetheart don’t worry about it.” He said back, smiling dryly up at them.

Sweetheart put some soft piano music on, trying to make a relaxing ambiance for Milo. He closed his eyes, resting his head back.

“Want me to rub your back?” Sweetheart asked, noticing some discomfort in his expressions.

“No that’s okay sweetheart don’t worry about me.” Milo said at first but sweetheart insisted.

“Come on Milo let me take care of you.” Sweetheart nudged him, with a cheeky smile. He sighed and relented, bending forward a bit

Sweetheart smiled, rubbing into his back with pressure but no enough to hurt, he groaned softly leaning into their touch.

“Is that alright? To much pressure?” They asked quietly, but he shook his head.

“No..no that’s good baby thank you.” He mumbled, obviously on the verge of sleep.

They nodded but then chuckled, picking his head up from the wall behind him,

“Milo, I’m not sure it’s the best idea to fall asleep in the tub, here let’s get you out I’ll grab a towel, And a sweatshirt for you alright? Hold tight.” They

They scurried to the closet, grabbing a comfortable hoodie and a pair of his looser sweat pants, grabbing a towel off the rack on their way back to the bathroom.

They tapped his shoulder, rubbing his softly before speaking. “Here stand up alright? Slowly..” they held the towel out, wrapping it around him and handing him the clothes.

“Thank you..” he mumbled sleepily before trudging over to the bedroom to get dressed.

While he did sweetheart drained the tub and dried the floor trying to avoid an injury.

They watched milo get into bed, still shivering. A sigh escaped them, upset he’d been sick and feeling horrible that he felt horrible.

They walked over to him, cupping his cheek.

“I’ll get you in a few hours for sure dinner and more medicine alright?” They whispered running a hand through his wet hair gently.

He nodded with his eyes closed tight, before grabbing their hand.

“Stay with me sweetheart?” He asked— well almost begged— them and of course they agreed

“Okay, but just until you fall asleep, I wanna have time to make you dinner okay?” They whispered and snuggled up behind him, kissing his cheek, but their lips lingered taking in his scent.

He groaned but nodded. “Fine.” He muttered out, causing sweetheart to chuckle.

“Okay deal.” They agreed with a small sigh of contentment.

He sighed and closed his eyes, “I love you sweetheart..” he said before yawning and resting his head into the pillow.

“I love you too milo. Get some rest baby.” They spoke and kissed his cheek once more.

*****

Yippie I got another thing out of my drafts.
