[divineluckfuckoff]

A rocky start

Yeah I have Damon as an f/o, fuck off/nsrs

________________________________________________________________________________

"Well, that should be about everyone..."

"Actually, there is someone else to meet. She's over there, in the corner. Completely blended herself in the background."

*Wenona pointed to one of the corners. Right below a painting was a girl of average height who had long, black hair with two blonde strands and brown eyes, sitting on a wheelchair while reading a book.*

"Oh, I see..." 'I didn’t notice her either. Wenona's right, she blended herself in the background...'

*Damon and Eva walked over to her while the rest watched. She looked up from her book for a second, a neutral expression on her face.*

"...Your face seems familiar."

"What a way to start a conversation, miss Tsunaka."

"How did-"

"I heard your introductions, mr. Maitsu. I may be a bit far from the group, but not too far to not hear what they're talking about."

"I suppose that is fair, some of them are... rowdy."

"No need to tell me twice. Either way, you're here for an introduction, correct? I suppose it won't hurt."

"I am Togo Togawara, the Ultimate Novelist. Does that name ring a bell, perhaps?"

"Actually, yes. You wrote 'The Reincarnated Dictator', correct?"

"Finally! Someone who recognizes me for a book that is not 'Tales of Plumeria'!"

*The girl, who seemed calm and mature just a second ago, was now filled with joy and relief. Eva and Damon blinked, not expecting the outburst*

"Uh... were we not... supposed to..?"

"Not really, but everyone always does so. Always the same damn book."

"'Look, that's the girl who wrote Tales of Plumeria!' 'OH MY GOD, AREN'T YOU THE CREATOR OF TALES OF PLUMERIA?!'"

"Give me a break, will you? I wrote more things than that open world fantasy novel. But, no matter what, it's always Tales of Plumeria. It feels like a curse at this point."

"I suppose it can get tiring to only be recognized for merely one novel, yes. But why write it in the first place?"

"Well, the fact that I was a kid may count too. I had a much more wild imagination back then."

'How did this conversation turned from an introduction to a discussion about novels..?'

"We're getting off track, Togawara. Actually... I do not recall seeing you on the train at all."

"I was behind the seats, I didn’t want to socialize at all. Unfortunately, that drag racer found me and started bothering me before he got knocked out by the gas."

"Then I woke up outside, laying on the floor and not on my wheelchair. Thankfully, ms. Taulner helped get on my wheelchair. That's what I recall."

"I guess everyone went through the same thing then. Waking up in an unknown location with this... shock wristband attached to their wrists."

*And now, everyone was here.*

Lol not to be girlie girl but like what if

leafpool fretted over her sister’s “kits” so much that thunderclan endearingly started referring to her as the 3’s second mother.

It would make sense, since of course leafpool couldn’t have kits of her own, so her nephews and niece would fit perfectly into that role for her.

And like- squirrelflight obviously didn’t care in the slightest because of the love she had for her sister. Plus it gave her the chance to stretch her legs whenever the other queens were busy.

Fun times with your caretakers:

Hi there! I just wanted to pop in and say that the universe you've created is incredible! I've fallen into the rabbit hole that is your lore and made myself right at home lol. Though I was wondering how Deity Bill might react to a Ford that's traveling the multiverse and changing things. I go more in detail about this Ford and what exactly he does on my GF blog, and I'll leave a link to the lore post below! I don't remember if I sent in a similar ask to you before so sorry if I did!

https://www.tumblr.com/nowimjustastranger/765267891965870080/somebody-to-call-my-own-lore-part-1?source=share

As heroic as this Ford sounds, Deity Bill would probably be pissed when an outsider from a different dimension tries to interfere with any timelines of other dimensions, despite their intentions being good or bad. Basically, he's like Miguel O'Hara. He is a guardian so he ensures that no dimension is touched, especially himself where he doesn't actively interact or interfere to alter timelines drastically (not unless he does 6 months of paperwork with Timebaby so he can have reigns over a dimension with them, that's how he's officially able to become his earth's muse). The thought that a human of all beings gets these kinds of abilities that are beyond their capabilities is unsafe and probably risky— according to Deity.

However, he's empathetic in a sense, but he firmly stands by his rule no matter what.

hey guys question if your oc’s/rewritten characters/ au’s had a fandom what do you think would be annoying headcanons/mischaracterizations of your characters/world

Wouldn’t it be neat if Nightheart is kicked out of all the clans? Like, he tries to join Shadowclan but really overstepped Sunbeam’s boundaries so then he goes to Riverclan and pretends to be the leader and gets the boot, Skyclan and Windclan turn him away without giving him a chance.

So Nightheart leaves the clans and pulls a reverse Firestar and becomes a kittypet for a bit, then begins to simply wander. He ends up back at the old territories where he meets a super old Smudge who upon seeing him says “you know, you remind me of someone…” and Smudge tells Nightheart of everything he knows of the clan cats.

Nightheart even gets to meet Warriorclan and learns what it really means to be part of a clan. He returns home to Thunderclan a changed cat and grows to be a wise old warrior.

The Wishing Kingdom: Chapter 1: Our Story Starts

(The screen is blank for a few seconds, until a font that says “A few years later” appears, one that faded away, we get our first glimpse of the hamlet, in that area, there’s triangle-shaped roofs of each house staked onto cobblestone rocks in front of some swoopy trees as it’s built as a safe habitat for others to stay safe from the king and queen, then, we see some ragged-clothed people holding on to some laundry and some soil to create a fireplace for themselves to stay warm and to make some food from it as well.)

(Like this shot from The Last Unicorn except it’s showing the rest of the Hamlet.)

After 2 minutes of all that is going on, we get introduced to 12-year-old Asha as she is seen sleeping in her bedroom until the sunshine splashes on her face, waking herself up even though it was so early in the morning.

“Woah! Is it that time already, it’s gone fast than I can hardly imagine!” Asha stretches her arms while seated in her bed, she also got a small glimpse of her pet goat, Valentino with a piece of white cloth on his mouth persuading her to do her work.

“MAAAAAA” Valentino screeched with such enthusiasm.

“Hey there bud, ready to start the day?” She hops out of bed to touch his face as she gently takes the cloth out his mouth, not long after, we get to see Sakina and Sabino walking over to Asha’s side.

“Awww, our little Asha being a grown-up lass, isn’t she just so gentle?” Sabino touches her cheek playfully while he gives his hand to petting Valentino, Sakina joins in too before she is urged to say something as well.

“Yeah, you’re so right, dear, and she will always remain to be here with us for eternity.” She slowly looks at Asha, a slow orchestral background plays that is so loving and gentle before Asha speaks.

“Awww, thank you guys, I could’ve never asked for anything better, now, who’s ready for chores?” She got herself up and held up the white cloth as if she were one of those guards, almost leaving confusion on Valentino, Sakina and Sabino’s faces.

That is until Valentino started jumping around Asha with his paw gesturing the outside of the hamlet, being impatient, from that reaction, Sabino, Sakina and Asha look at each other before they shrugged, grabbed their equipment and opened the door to a brand new day, which leads to the first song!

Our Hamlet/ Our Rosas

In this opening musical number, it shows us what life is like between both worlds, the hidden hamlet which was made as a safe habitat for folks who want to be safe from the king and queen who held Rosas captive, it’s a bit like “Belle”, “Circle of Life” and “Steady as The Beating Drum”, it’s sort of like that but more of a welcome edition to the world.

(Before the song starts, Asha opens the cottage doors with Sabino and Sakina by her side as she grabs her basket to get her work done!)

(Asha)

The people have so much joy in the air,

They know a brand new day is here to stay,

It’s the same morning,

The town here is shining, whoops sorry!

(During the first line, we get a shot of a few people walking around and doing their work with smiles on their faces while Asha strolls around with her basket following every step, in the final line, she accidentally bumps into a young man who is just about to finish his laundry, as she runs off, he rolls his eyes and continues with what he is doing.)

Everyone’s got something,

On their mind that’s spinning,

Behind these roots and those leaves,

Lies a town I can’t leave!

(While Asha is singing the second line, she is seen jumping down on the stairs of each cottage simply made of rocks while observing the people around her, when she says the third line, she gestures the trees and spins around them as if this is her place of comfort.)

(Everyone)

Here inside this hamlet,

We grab the cloth and go,

The scrubbin, the washing,

Is all we have to hold,

Here inside this hamlet,

Our wishes stay aglow,

Who knows what miracles,

Have in store,

In our hamlet.

(With the chorus going in, we go into some townspeople telling others about the work and using their hard work as a purpose to keep their wishes glowing, in one shot, Leo is seen guarding one house whereas Dextrous sleeps on his shoulder, he wakes up suddenly to start guarding, in the final line, we than pan over to the kingdom of Rosas, where King Magnifico and Queen Amaya rule over their subjects.

A citizen of Rosas starts to sing as he is carrying a massive sack of royalty for the king and queen)

(Citizen 1)

With all this load left to hold, I might drain,

What if they find out, they might go insane!

(Citizen 2)

These broken wings of mine,

Yet when will they fly again?

(Both citizens are at the marketplace of Rosas when singing those lines, the first line is supposed to show how the people are forced to work tirelessly with no sleep in order to please the king and queen, and also, the line “these broken wings of mine, yet when will they fly again?” that citizen 2 is singing, the line is supposed to highlight how the citizens of Rosas are enslaved by Magnifico and Amaya’s power forcing them to do everything they say, but the question that is sung emphasises freedom for themselves so that they can pursue their own dreams of their own.)

(Both citizens)

It feels like death is holding on to me,

Just you wait for the day, we’d all be free!

(All citizens)

Right here in Rosas,

Where flowers stay bloomed,

Where a tragedy hits so deep,

Which made our home so bruised,

Right here in Rosas,

We’re holding onto our hopes,

Who knows what lies beneath this hoax,

Behind those heavy doors,

In our Rosas,

In our hamlet!

(In the last chorus, we get a massive set of choreography where the citizens are gathering around as they are dancing around the plaza, in one shot, you get a medium shot of a few people in rags being persuaded to dance along with the citizens, in another shot, some people dance around the statues of Magnifico and Amaya paired together, throughout this number, we get the idea that the Hamlet is a safe haven where they keep their wishes protected whereas Rosas is a literal dystopia where slavery is forced by the king and queen.)

After the number, the camera goes right back to the hamlet where Asha is just about to get her work finished.

There’s a point where she spots Dextrous humming the previous song whilst leaning against the cottage door, her hand rested on his shoulder while she suggests him to get on with his job.

“Eh, sorry miss, I’m just bothered at the moment, it’d be best if you leave me here to rest.” Dextrous replied as his eyes are half-closed like he was about to go to sleep.

“Oh, come on, doing your own work isn’t so bad after all.” She expressed while her hands grasped onto her basket of laundry where she was about to head to the river nearby, that is until Leo arrives with her sketchbook in his hand.

“Heh, looks like you forgot this! Now let’s see here, hmm…” He snoops over her pages (not in a mean way but more of a playful yet innocent way.) which only made Asha twitch her eye a bit, so she starts some banter while he still has her book.

“Been swearing, haven’t ya?”

“No, no I haven’t, I was only just filled with smoke, how can I not puff it all out?” Her sarcastic voice puts him off a bit but it doesn’t bother him.

“Heh, I didn’t know you can tell me how this got you to write like this?”

“Stop playing, Leo, it’s just my thoughts, and personally, it’s like everyone has a story.” She snatches the book of him while she rubs it with her apron, catching Leo and Dextrous aghast when she says that everyone has a story.

“Well, yeah, that is the truth.” She starts opening her sketchbook to show her some of her drawings with Leo and Dextrous. “This here is where I started my first drawing, I know it isn’t perfect like you guys would say it is.”

“Perfect?! Since when did I hear someone say perfect throughout their whole life?” Leo raised his eyebrow, he knew it was all a joke.

Asha’s eyes knitted the friends. “Um, dunno, it just came out of my head, the fact that it’s not really my best drawings…”

“Oh come on, we all love your drawings, imperfect or not.” Dextrous opened his eyes and expressed his true feelings to his trusted friend.

“Thanks… But, I feel like…” After Asha stutters on what is trying to come out of her mouth, we are shown that in a few pages of her messed up sketches and doodles to different types of constillations, gliding across the book as if its a first draft on her finished work,

(This is used to emphasise on how Asha has been willing to inspire people through her own work, she knows that sketching and writing her thoughts is her only strength and she has a fault for seeing the eyes of other people, but in terms of art style, she’s willing to improve as well.)

Leo and Dextrous were wide-mouthed after seeing her pages. “I see, it’s as deep as I could’ve imagined as well.”

“But no matter what happens, you don’t need to always say that you need time to finish with whatever you’re doing, what matters is that we’re here to support you, Asha, just remember that!” Leo’s words fuelled her heart which opened so wide with admiration.

“I mean, yeah, you are the one who fills the world with sunshine.” Dextrous replies as well. (There’s your first reference of the rewrite, Snow White right here, but this is used to describe how much Asha cares for her friends so much and they're willing to support her.)

“So you mean that whenever you’re turning black, I’m the one who completely changes your colour to make you brighter with my heart?” She questioned, she didn’t quite get it all at once.

“Yes, that’s what we mean.” Leo answered back.

Unfortunately, we hear Gilllia’s anger behind the cottage nearby, she is called by him but she walks over with her arms crossed and sat at the furthest pit of the cottage they were standing with.

“WHATS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT?! DIDNT MY DAY JUST CRUMBLE?! Her croaky voice caught everyone’s attention all of a sudden.

“Looks like someone got hit by the wrong ball over there!” Dextrous joked as he gestures right towards Gillia.

“Dextrous!” Leo scoffed and knudged him in the arm leaving him shocked.

“Anyway, what’s the point of showing these sketches and making them your life source, kind of a waste if you think about it.” She said more calmly but she still had that temper slipping through her veins.

“Oh Gilllia, it’s not that bad of a habit, unless you get bored of it like it’s the same thing, but you see here, this page looks off, can you see? Here?” Asha walks over to her and then gestures the page of a drawing of a hamlet citizen, (a concept art version if you want to put it correctly.)

It takes her a bit of time to figure out what is wrong with Asha’s drawing, she instead replies with, “There’s not a single thing I can point out, Asha, the drawing is actually quite good, since when did you get this sort of talent?”

“Taught it myself, you know, I was thinking I’d tell you guys since I’ve been curious about what wishes you’ll write for the stars.” The topic slowly changed as soon as Asha is sat between her friends whilst she is hesitant for their answers.

“To be honest, I don’t know what to wish for, but I’ve heard so many stories about the stars years ago.” This was Leo’s only answer he could come up with before Dextrous took his turn to answer.

“No matter how much I might’ve said this, I think I might wish to be more aware of my surroundings.” Dextrous looks down at his feet after that, “But I feel like I’m getting the hang of it, ya know?”

Gillia’s eyebrows transform into a distant frown when she was asked about what she wanted to wish for, but everyone else knew that her mouth was closed, maybe she isn't ready yet or she doesn't feel like talking about it with her other friends, even though they are the ones who she can trust.

“I guess she isn't ready yet, maybe we'll ask her at some point.” Dexterous patted on her shoulder and eyed right at Asha as she is about to pick her own laundry up from the basket.

“Yeah, but I feel like I also don't know what to wish for, making a wish is complicated because there are so many opportunities one person can hold, but does it really matter if we sit down with our head on the desk, we think about what drives us to pursue that wish?” Leo sighed while he slowly caught a glimpse of the morning sky. “When the stars come out, I hope they answer one’s call.”

“Don't worry, Leo, I’m sure they will come out someday, I know it, and it goes for all of you, when your wish is shown on a ribbon, the stars will listen closely and make sure to grant it as soon as possible!” Asha replied to Leo as his heart slowly began to warm up from her wisdom.

We then take a few seconds for the friend group to look at their hearts to make sure that their wishes are secured, meanwhile, Asha glanced at a castle not so far away and then looked back at where she was, until a voice appears…

“Asha! Time to go back home now!” The voice shouted from a distance.

From there, she starts to pack her laundry and before going straight away, she slowly starts saying goodbye to her friends and they wave back as she climbs up the rocks all the way back to her cottage.

*****************

Final Notes

This is the first chapter that I fully wrote to start off the story of “The Wishing Kingdom”, with the hamlet and Rosas song, I wanted to show you different sides of both worlds and how each person lives their regular life, what I also wanted to show you was the dynamic between Asha and her three friends with each of them supporting one another.

Forgot to mention that the montage of Asha’s drawings, I wanted to use that as a metaphor as to what Walt Disney truly meant when he wanted to create fairy tales into movies, like he did with Snow White, it's also a metaphor for animation as a whole, you know like teaching yourself the basic principles and how they inhabit life into characters and objects!

But don't worry, in Chapter 2, you will see Sakina, Sabino and Asha’s dynamic whilst also getting our first glimpse of the king and queen of Rosas and what they do for a living as well. But in that chapter alone, you will see that the wishes mean so much more to the Hamlet according to Sabino, so you will get more of him, so for now, stay tuned for more!

A million years ago, someone asked me if I'd write a series that mimicked canon but with Tobias Carrick as head of the Edenbrook Diagnostic Team. While I don't have the bandwidth to take on a series at this point, as I'm doing my Open Heart re-read, I will rewrite select scenes that I think could be interesting.

The first one is that first night at Donahue's. I may have forced myself to finish this tonight just so I could read @alj4890's version before I go to bed tonight! lol Amanda, my fellow Tobias ho, I'm so glad you're taking this trip with me.

Book: Open Heart Book 1 / Chapter 2 That first night at Donahue's Pairing: Tobias Carrick x Casey MacTavish (F!MC) Rating: Teen Words: 1,445 Series: If it were canon... AU Summary: Casey and her new friends are celebrating their first day as interns at the renowned Edenbrook Hospital. When her attending, Dr. Tobias Carrick arrives, he can't take his eyes off the beautiful young woman, even though he knows he should. When she joins him for a drink, will the two of them be able to fight their attraction? Or will they give in?

A/N: Participating in the @julychallenge Pink: Playfulness, Warmth Black: Attraction

After a grueling sixteen-hour shift, Dr. Tobias Carrick opened the door to Donahue’s, desperate for a brief escape. He hadn’t been to his usual watering hole for the past couple of weeks, not since his messy breakup with the pretty nurse from Peds. He knew the probability of her tossing a glass of Merlot onto his expensive threads was real and best to be avoided. But tonight marked his grand return. Tonight, his need for relaxation made the threat of a hefty dry cleaning bill worthwhile.

It hadn’t been your typical day. The universe decided that the usual life-or-death matters weren't enough. So, it threw in a new class of interns and all the ��joy” that came with them. There was a surprise visit from the Director of the Board and, to add insult to injury, a long phone call with his mother. Yes, tonight, he needed the poor lighting and the scent of stale beer that only his home away from home could provide. He nodded to Reggie as he settled onto his barstool, and within moments, his usual drink appeared. Finally, he was ready to unwind.  

As he sipped his bourbon, his eyes wandered across the room, settling on the tiny dance floor in where a group of new interns were swaying to the sounds of Marvin Gaye. At least they have good taste in music, he thought, as he was about to turn back to the bar. But then he noticed a mane of golden hair thrashing about, accompanied by a radiant smile that threatened to light up the room. Dr. Casey MacTavish, was a new intern he met in a rather dramatic manner at the start of the day, and he hadn’t been able to get her off his mind since.

He couldn’t peel his eyes away. Her movements were a little erratic, to say the least, but there was no denying she was sexy as hell. Her laughter rang out over the music holding him captive. He took another sip of his drink, feeling a twinge of something he shouldn’t feel for an intern smoldering inside. He had a reputation for the artistic way he managed to blur lines, but as her attending physician, he knew this was one he shouldn’t cross.

He turned his attention back to his drink and was relieved when Reggie came over to discuss the Red Sox’s post-season chances. It was a welcome distraction, but despite his best efforts, his thoughts kept drifting back to Casey. He turned back ack to the dance floor, but she was gone but, luckily, not for long. A raucous chorus of wolf-whistles drew his attention to the side, where a new surgical intern Tobias had already dubbed “Ken” had the object of his attention bent backward as he feverishly kissed her.

“That lucky son of a bitch,” he mumbled under his breath.

The moment Casey was back on her feet, she tossed her head back with another infectious laugh, and despite Reggie’s attempts to pull him back to the conversation, Tobias was lost.

“I get that she’s prettier than me,” he finally heard Reggie laugh. “But does she know the Sox as well as I do?”

Caught, Tobias grinned sheepishly. “I don’t know, man,” he replied. “She strikes me as someone who could surprise you.”

“Yeah,” Reggie smiled, drying off a tumbler. “Well, she strikes me as someone who is making her way over here. Don’t look now, boss, but...”

“Hey! Do you mind if I join you?”

Her voice was melodic, and if he thought she looked gorgeous across the bar, seeing her up close was a bit too much... even for him. The delicate blush on her cheeks and playful giggle made it clear she caught him eying her from head to toe. Normally he was as smooth as silk... but he already made his first misstep. But who could blame him? Her smile, those blue eyes, the way her denim cut-off shorts clung to her body, showing off her... assets... that top that left little to his overactive imagination...

Casey cleared her throat loudly and motioned to the empty stool beside him. If she were being honest, she was reveling in the level of control she appeared to hold right now. “So, may I?”

“Of course,” Tobias replied, unable to hide a smile.

“What has you so dazed?” she teased, slipping onto the stool beside him.

“You just... you look different outside of work.”

“Different good or different bad?”

“Different,” he said, turning to her with a smirk. “You looked like you were having fun out there.”

“Yeah, burning off some steam. If I can’t celebrate my first day as a real doctor, what can I celebrate?”

“True, true."

Just then, “Ken” approached the bar to order two beers. Tobias glowered his way, but "Ken" didn't notice one bit. He was too busy winking at Casey before rejoining his crew.

“I see you’ve made some quick friends," Dr. Carrick observed.

“Of course I have," she beamed, trying to discern… was he jealous? “With all of this charm and personality... I practically have to fight them off with a stick!"

Tobias laughed so much his eyes crinkled as he motioned to Reggie. “Two specials,” he smiled. “I hope it’s not too forward of me to buy you a drink.”

“Hell no!” She winked. “You know what I earn; feel free to buy me as many drinks as you want.”

God, he was impressed. Tobias Carrick was a known flirt, a master in the field, so he knew when he met a match and holy shit, did she have it. He didn’t want to steer the conversation back to a more appropriate topic, but he felt like he should.

“So, how was the first day?”

“It was... challenging, but that’s the name of the game, isn’t it?”

“Sure is,” he nodded. “When I first came to Boston, I was interning at Mass Kenmore, and let me tell you....”

The two began to trade war stories of med school and, in his case, beyond. Their boundaries softened more with each sip they took. The conversation flowed easily, marked with laughter and, occasionally, a brief touch that felt like sparks igniting under their skin. Without realizing, Tobias leaned in closer, hanging on her every word. Beauty and brains were one thing, but her charm and wit gripped him and didn't let go.

“You know,” she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “I didn’t expect to see you tonight. Do you come here often?”

“More often than I should probably,” he grinned. “It’s my go-to place after a long day.”

“Well, it’s easy to see why.”

He let out a snort. “Please don’t tell me because of the ambiance.”

“Of course not!” she replied, nudging his shoulder. “It’s the great company! I mean, it’s clear that I’m already your favorite, and here I am!”

“Oh, are you?” He chuckled, no longer able to deny the warmth building inside him. She had him mesmerized and all but forgetting “the rules.” But he was Tobias Carrick, and rules were made to be broken... weren’t they?

“So, the guy over there... the one you were kissing...”

“Bryce?” She asked, taking a sip of her drink as Tobias’s eyes fell to her lips; never had he been more jealous of a straw. “He’s cool. We just met today.”

“Damn!” Tobias exclaimed. “Does everyone you meet get a kiss like that?”

“Nah,” she smiled seductively. “Only the ones I lose bets to.” Meeting his eyes, she built up her courage and spoke with a flirtatious lilt. “Anything you care to wager, Dr. Carrick?”

That was it. He barked out a laugh, his eyes on fire. Yeah. He may have met his match.

“You’re something else,” he smiled, then his voice became lower and took on a more serious tone. “You know, I know we’re supposed to keep things professional, but you are not making it easy for me.”

“Yey," she clapped, "then it’s working!” Her face became serious, and she lowered her voice, too. “I definitely feel something here, Tobias, but I'm not stupid. I know this would be... complicated.”

“Mmm,” he hummed. “But complicated doesn’t mean impossible. If you ever wanted to find a workaround, you just say the word.”

Casey’s eyes searched his. They looked at her so intently she had to remind herself to breathe.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” she whispered. Sensing the shift, Casey's nerves got the better of her, and she glanced at the clock on the wall. “I should get going. Early start tomorrow and all.”

Tobias nodded, masking his disappointment. “Yep, and I heard your attending is a real asshole.”

“I don’t know,” she smiled. “He's impressed the hell out of me so far."

Tobias bit his lower lip, fighting the urge to take this to the next level with all his might. This woman was going to be trouble.

“Good night, Casey. I’ll see you tomorrow,” he replied, never taking his eyes off her as she walked away.

Tobias sighed as she left with her friends. This was going to be complicated, but there was no way he was letting her slip through his fingers. Some things were worth taking a risk for, and there was no doubt in his mind that Dr. Casey MacTavish was one of those things. He finished his drink and threw some bills on the bar to settle his tab.

“Hey! Leaving so soon?” Reggie hollered.

“Yep!” Tobias smiled. “I want to get a good night’s sleep. Suddenly, I’ve got a lot to look forward to tomorrow.”

Agh! This was so much fun! WHy didn't I do it sooner! lol

An odd one in

_______________________________________________________

"Alright, we have a few more people to meet." Teruko mused as she and Xander looked over to the corner of the room. There was a person there.

"Ah, there was someone there? I didn’t even notice!” Xander exclaimed before the two headed over there.

The person in question was a girl in a wheelchair. She has long, black hair with two blonde strands, her bangs covering her right eye, while her left eye was a dark shade of brown. She wore a beige sweater over a white shirt, a bow around its collar, a gray skirt, black thigh high socks and brown mary janes. She was reading a book, like Min did.

Upon hearing their footsteps, she perked up, marking the page and closing the book. “Greetings. You must be here to introduce yourselves, correct?” she asked.

“Yeah. I’m Teruko Tawaki, the Ultimate Lucky Student.”

“And I’m Xander Matthews, the Ultimate Rebel!”

“Someone must be excited to meet everyone, huh.” she mused, eyeing Xander for a second “I’m Togo Togawara, and I was enrolled as the Ultimate Novelist.” she introduced herself. Xander’s eyes widened.

“Y-You’re THE Togo Togawara?! The writer of Tales of Plumeria?!” he asked, shocked. The novelist chuckled.

“Indeed, that is me. I was expecting that someone would recognize me because of that book.” she admitted.

“H-How could I not?! That book is, not only your best seller, but it completely changed the genre of fantasy!” the rebel exclaimed “I read it, a-and I loved completely! Oh man, I could rant about it for hours!” he rambled.

“I didn’t know you were a fan of fantasy books Xander.” Teruko pointed out.

“I-I don’t usually read fantasy... Only her books are the exception...” he mumbled the last part, but the other two still heard it.

“Hehe. It’s nice to meet a fan once in a while.” she smiled.

“A-Ah, c-can I get your autograph?! W-Wait where is-”

“Here.” Togo handed him a copy of Tales of Plumeria signed with her name. Xander’s eyes sparkled.

“Aaaaaa thank you so much Ms. Togo!” he thanked, shakily holding the copy like if it was some ancient relic.

“Wait... Now I remember your name!” Teruko chimed in “You wrote ‘Keraunos’, right?” she asked.

“Mhm. I’ve written novels in a wide variety of genres.” Togo mused.

“I-I really liked that one. The cases you wrote there were... while incredibly gorey and detailed, it got me really hooked. A-And I loved the protagonist and his sidekick too.” she admitted “They... remind me of Xander and David, now that I think about it.”

“Wait they do? I... still need to read that.” Xander laughed nervously.

“Well, before I started writing it, I already had the cases, murderers and motives planned. However, I needed to make the duo. But I kind of got... stuck in their personalities. So, I decided to browse and investigate. And I stumbled upon you two.” Togo explained, pointing to Xander and David, who was busy eyeing the podium “You two had personalities that could make a good dynamic, so I did base them off of you two.” she concluded. Xander’s face went beet red.

“aaaaaaaaaaiwastheinspirationforacharacterinanovelsomeonehelpmeeee-” he wheezed out, hiding his face in embarrassement. Teruko sweatdropped.

“Xander breathe-”

“R-Right right, sorry.” Xander apologized.

“There’s no need to apologize Mr. Matthews.” Togo said.

“Ah, we got really sidetracked. Um, Togo- God it feels weird standing in front of you- um, do you perhaps happen to know anything about our current situation?”

"Sadly not, but this situation is quite interesting. 17 ultimate students held captive in a random, unknown location? It seems like we may be being held for ransom perhaps?" she suggested.

"That's a good theory, but we don't have a way to confirm that..." Xander sighed.

"I know. Either way, you two have more people to meet, correct? I don't wish to hold you guys around any longer." Togo said.

"A-Ah, right. Goodbye Ms. Togo!" Xander waved as he and Teruko walked away.

"..."

"..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" Teruko wheezed, feeling her soul leave her body.

"Ican'tbelievewemetTHETogoTogawara!!!!" Xander whisper-yelled.

"They're so adorable. Almost like children." Togo mumbled to herself, hiding her smile with the book she was reading.

'Damn, they are like children.' Alastor said from Togo's mindscape.

'Oh, you big child, be quiet.' She deadpanned. Alastor gasped.

'YOU'RE SO MEAN!' he dramatically cried out. Togo rolled her eyes.

'Let the plan begin.' she thought.

Bishop, Knight, Rook

Cover for a short fic to get this AU and my frustrations with DAtV out of my system.

Mage Hawke (with a tendency for sarcasm and a very deadly elf husband)

+ one Arishok qunari rogue (too jaded to be surprised by the general insanity going on, having spent the decade of his exile getting slowly adopted into a Dalish clan against his will, boiling frog style)

+ one Sten Arishok qunari warrior (just returning to the world outside the Qun, having been placed in Varric's care by the Hero of Ferelden so he can have his crisis of faith somewhere marginally safer than a full-on Blight outbreak)

standing in together for Varric's recruit who had an unfortunately deadly incident (Veil Jumpers and their dangerous relics, amirite?) before Veilguard took off and could never become Rook.

Solas won't know what hit him.

Wish Granted 🌟👩🏾🎶: How Asha Got Valentino 🐐 (Bonus Story)

(This story takes place 3 weeks before the events of the Wish Granted Movie)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

It was a pleasant morning in the Hamlet. While others got an early start on their morning duties, Sabino decided take a stroll and stretch his legs. Sakina warned him not to travel too far from home. To which he replied. "You do realize I'm much older than you, right?"

She relented.

The old man looked at the sky which were filled with chirping birds flying around, and the sun was shining over their handmade home. He greeted the neighbors as he passed by and delighted in the warm atmosphere. Eventually, Sabino decided to take a rest at the wishing well in the center of the Hamlet.

He grabbed his mandolin that was strapped across his back and tuned it for a moment. Sabino was searching for inspiration for his next song. Even though his wish was taken, he didn't stop trying to find it. He played a few notes, attempting to make them connect and harmonize.

"Let's see…" A few notes play high, then low, then high again. "No no. That's not it. How about..?" (He plays the first 5 notes of "A Wish Worth Making")

"There we go!" He laughed in satisfaction. "Now for the rest of it…" His voice trailed off, his mind searching for the next notes. His practice was interrupted by a loud noise.

"BAAAAAAAAHHHHH! BAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" It sounded like a herd of goats.

Well, there goes the quiet.

Sabino slowly got up and headed towards the noise.

He found the sounds coming from Leigh's house. When he's not playing songs with Sabino, he took care of most of the livestock in the hamlet. This included a few cows, horses, chickens and roosters and even goats.

"I thought that noise was coming from here, I'm just surprised its not coming from your singing!" Sabino greeted his friend with a laugh.

The two exchange a hug and Leigh showed him that the animals were doing pretty well. "There'll still be enough eggs and milk to go around for another week or two, but I'm worried about the goats." He explained.

The man led Sabino to a little stable where we see a nanny goat watching over a small litter of her newborns. There were four of them, each with a different pattern of white and brown.

"I really don't know what to do with the little ones." Leigh explained. His voice was gruff, but had a touch of worry in it. "I can get wool and milk for the parents, but we'd have to wait a while for the babies to grow. I just don't know if we have enough food for all of them."

One of the babies struggled to stand on his feet. His legs wobbled, he fell over and with the help of his mother glue got back up again. He kept making little sounds as he tried to stand.

"Especially that one. He's the runt and he's having some trouble walking on his own. The others are already ahead of him."

Sabino watched the young one carefully. He didn't see the goat as weak as Leigh did. In the time he was listening to his friend, Sabino watched the goat repeatedly stand up, walk, wobble, fall and stand up again. He never stopped trying.

The old man was immediately reminded of his granddaughter. She longed for adventure and freedom, but had to keep it to herself. She never stopped thinking of new ways her family could be free. So much so that she never made any friends in the Hamlet in hesitancy that she may not be able to trust anyone. Magnifico's terror still had a small hold on her.

An idea popped into the old man's head. "Say, have you considered giving any of them away?" He asked as he stepped into the stable."

Leigh laughed it off. "Now I know you're getting old! Who would keep a goat as a pet? A gypsy?"

Sabino held the goat in his arms. He had big blue eyes, A fluff of white hair on his head and a happy little smile. He looked up at Sabino and nuzzled his face in the man's chest in affection.

"Oh, I know someone who would love a companion like this to be by her side." Sabino smiled warmly as he looked at the young animal.

Leigh shrugged. "I don't think he'll grow up to be much, but hey if it's one less mouth to feed-" He looked up and saw the old man and the baby goat were no longer in the stable. He looked around wondering how someone that old moved so fast.

"Thank you, my friend! I owe you one!" Sabino called to his friend as he was already far away from the house.

Some time pasts and we see Asha sitting by a small river, sketching a little turtle that was calmly floating with the current. She didn't get a lot of time to herself so she always used it to practice drawing.

She was deep into her work when she someone cleared their throat behind her. Asha turned her head and saw her saba holding an animal in his arms. It kept baaing and looking around in curiosity.

"Saba! Why are you holding a goat in your arms? Did you get into trouble again?"

Sabino rolled his eyes playfully. "Please, Asha. I don't get into trouble. Only mishaps, hehehe. I actually came to give you an early birthday gift."

He gently put the goat down and it tried to stand, but once again its legs wobbled and it fell again.

"He's a little…different, I must admit, but he's got the same passion in his eyes that I see in yours. Poor thing just can't seem to walk still." He sighed.

Asha put her book down and faced the goat. "Come on, little guy. I know you can do this." Asha told him as she reached her arms gingerly towards him. "Come to me!"

The baby goat started to get excited and wobbled his way to his feet. He slowly started to move forward, one hoof at a time. He started to falter a bit, but kept slowly walking towards the girl.

After a few more small shaky steps, he finally reached her. "Maaaaaa!" He bleated happily.

"I told you you could do it!" Asha smiled and hugged the little goat. She looked at her grandfather. "Thank you, Saba."

"Ah, its no trouble at all." He waved a hand. "By the way, what do you plan on calling him? He's going to need a lot of love and attention, now."

Asha looked down at the baby goat, he looked back up with shining eyes. "If he's going to need love, how about Valentino?"

FINAL THOUGHTS

Since I'm out-lining chapter 6, I've been working on bonus features for Wish Granted! Plus I'm really tied up with YouTube at the moment with a month long superhero celebration on my channel so that requires a lot of attention. However, I do plan starting Chapter 6 real soon. So for now I wanted to give a couple bonus stories for the characters, a DTIYS challenge, release some new designs for Valentino and Flazino and make a few template posts for Wish Granted too!

I made this story to explain how and why Asha needed Valentino in this rewrite. Disney movies usually show a bond between a Princess and their animal sidekick and give them a reason they need them. Like Pascal, Meeko, Hei Hei and others. They're fun animals that show why their protagonists have them. Much like the problem with Canon Star, Asha had no bond with Valentino. They're supposed to be already best friends despite them not really interacting outside of the first 20 minutes. After he starts talking, she doesn't even really talk back to him when he gains the ability. That's not how animal companions work, Disney or otherwise. So much like Sabor, Val is important to the story and to Asha.

Ironically, Val had more of a personality in the original version of the movie when he DIDN'T TALK. And when he did, not only did he serve a purpose, it was actually funny. Plus he really was shown to be like an emotional support animal to both Sabino and Asha. What the hell happened?

So for this rewrite, our little guy was a gift so that Asha wouldn't be alone. She could have someone to trust even though he's not human cough cough. At the same time, she helps and encourages him when his original owner didn't. He's by her side all the time so they're now inseparable. This explains why he's protective of Asha when Star comes down. He's both jealous and defensive and doesn't trust Star for most of the movie. I also based this on not only my own experience when I got my first puppy.(he walked on his own for the first time and I got way too excited) Its also based on this little video I stumbled across on YouTube which fit these two incredibly well. Its so cute!

If you've read this far, thanks so so much for reading this! I really hope you'll enjoy future bonus stories and content as I continue to work on this!

Thanks for reading! 🌠
