underrated stevetony fics rec list (P1)

i feel like a lot of really good stevetony fics get swept under the rug because this is such a big fandom and sometimes people miss out on quality content?? so this is a rec list of some of the stevetony fics i feel like everybody should have read/ be reading

Edit (31.12.2020): this got very long (i had almost 50 fics on my list, so ive decided to split this list into two parts. part 2 will be out soon!!)

Edit (20.02.2021): part 2 is out now!!

picture me in the trees: @ifmywishescametrue

Tony and Steve were childhood friends that almost became more, but Tony moved and they lost their chance. Thirteen years later, a chance meeting brings Tony back into Steve's life.

Free: @iwanttopizzamanyou

"Steve reads, and the words dance in front of his eyes, because while this used to be his dream, what he wanted, all he can think about is how this Hell will soon become his full time life."

Steve discovers fame, with fans waiting for him in the lobby and girls passing him their numbers after the shows. It used to be what he wanted, he supposes. Except his future managers keep asking more and more from him, and he's not sure his old life will survive. Tony is ready to help, and compromise, but Steve maybe isn't anymore.

making it work: @/ironarm

“Just tell him you don’t want to see him anymore,” Clint replies, finishing the end of his burger and starting to crumple up the wrapper, “It’s not like you love him or anything.”

“Clint, if I thought I could get rid of him about a week ago, I would have. But for some fucked up reason, I can’t lie to him. It’s like, I see those baby blue eyes, and bam. Whatever barrier that I built up from childhood trauma is gone.”

Clint chokes on the last piece of his burger, almost resisting the urge to smack Tony on the side of his head.

Tony was a fucking idiot.

Boys Like Us: @naferty

The video had been a mistake. One of the biggest mistakes he had ever done in his life, and considering Tony Stark had done a bunch of shit in his younger years, and even older years, that was saying something.

It was just that none of those things were as embarrassing as that video.

He blamed Clint for everything

Stained Fingertips: @thesoundofnat

“I don’t really believe in magic,” he said, clearing his throat. “But I’m almost certain you’re a goddamn wizard, Steve Rogers.”

Steve would remember those words for the rest of his life.

(Or, Steve is maybe slightly obsessed with drawing Tony. Not that Tony minds.)

Inhale, Ex-Sail: @summerpipedream

"Rich pirates decked out in top-of-the-line black market gear,” grumbled Tony, ”why don’t I have the budget to make those again?’

Rhodey inched back so that he and Tony were back-to-back. “We’re apparently law abiding citizens now, which means having to pay taxes.”

Tony scowled. “Urg, right. Remind me why I wanted to do that again?”

Rhodey rolled his eyes. “What was it you called him last time? Your sweet tart? Your apple pie in the sky? The wind beneath your wings? Hopefully he’ll fly here fast enough so we don’t get killed. Or worse, mugged.”

Tony Stark Bingo K1 - AU: Steampunk

As Constant As A Star: @atsadi

The Swan Princess AU

As young children, Prince Anthony and Princess Natasha of neighboring Midgardian kingdoms are betrothed, and spend their summers together every year until they are wed. Tony adores his headstrong friend Nat: it’s her scowly little companion Steve he’s not thrilled about at first. But soon Steve goes from being a thorn in Tony’s side to being his dearest friend – and much, much more than that. Despite Steve feeling the same way about Tony, the pair still dance around each other for years as Steve struggles to accept his feelings for another man: especially one already betrothed to another. Not to mention that Tony is a prince, and Steve is nothing but a squire.

But before they can make peace, Tony is kidnapped and dragged into the beginnings of another conflict in the nearby magical kingdom of Asgard – he really hates magic. With his potential usefulness diminishing by the day, Tony races to escape even as Steve, Natasha, and their friends race to find him and bring him home.

And—just to make matters worse—Tony has been trapped by a powerful spell and turned into a swan, of all creatures. He really, really hates magic.

Always Yours: @hollyjollyhope

Getting kidnapped is normal for them, at this point. But there's nothing normal about this.

And suddenly, Tony has a choice to make.

Oxeye Daisy (patience): @s-horne

“You make me want things I can’t have.”

Steve startled at the voice from behind him and turned around to see Tony standing in the kitchen doorway. He stared straight at Tony for a long moment. The room was quiet, time stretching out in a thick and uncomfortable silence as neither man dare to move nor opened his mouth to speak first.

White Clover (a promise): @s-horne

“Hey, sweetheart.”

Tony lifted his head as he tried to focus on Steve’s voice. When he managed to open his eyes and blink a bit of the blurriness away, he was rewarded with a gentle smile being shone down at him.

“There you are,” Steve said. “Was worried I was going to have to talk to myself.”

Though his tone was light, Tony knew what he meant. It was no secret that Tony was physically weaker and a hell of a lot more human than Steve was and was therefore struggling more with the lack of regular nourishment that came with being held hostage.

“Course not,” Tony said back, voice hoarse but plastering a smile on his face all the same. His head was pounding and his eyes couldn't stay open. “Would I ever do that to you? You’d never get a sensible answer.”

Acta non verba: @firebrands

unapologetic fluff about two idiots who can barely keep it together with how hard they're crushing on each other

or:

tony has to help steve with math + a halloween party = a good time for everyone, eventually

you take me higher than the rest (everybody else is second best): @firebrands

tumblr fill for adi & anthonydarling, who asked for "'Prank' war, but the kind to see who can make the other blush the most in public" from this prompt list

Adjacent, Against, Upon: @firebrands

A political AU!

Steve Rogers is running as the Mayor of somewhere, America. Tony Stark, his campaign manager, deals with a candidate who isn’t interested in lying, and just wants to do good by these citizens, god damn it.

song of unrest: @omg-just-peachy

How was Steve supposed to reconcile all of this? The way he looked so different but still felt so much the same? It made Steve’s head spin. He knows he shouldn’t care so much, that he is what he is, but he just wants to know.

Paint The Town Blue: @omg-just-peachy

Ten years since he’d seen or spoken to Tony Stark, ten years since they’d broken up to go away to school. And now this email. It could be his only chance to see Tony again.

Camelot: @weethreequarter

For one shining moment, there was Camelot.

In 2019, Karen Page meets Captain Steve Rogers to conduct an exclusive interview on his late husband, President Tony Stark.

In 2007, Steve meets Senator Tony Stark and falls in love.

he thinks he’s lancelot (but he’s more of a sir lamorak): @theotherwasdeath

Tony knows firsthand that violence isn’t funny. So why oh why does he think that the scene playing out in front of him, Steve and Victor Von Doom in a knock-out, drag-down fist fight, is absolutely hilarious?

wildflowers: @tinytonysnark

“So,” Steve begins, clapping his hands together, “the city of SHIELD is in debt. The big ups have sent for financial advisors, all the way from DC! They’re gonna take a look at the city’s spending and make some cuts.”

He squints at the camera against the morning sun shining through the courtyard, “I’m not that worried. Everyone here in the parks department is an important member of the team and absolutely needed.”

The camera swings towards the office where from the large glass window, Natasha can be seen picking up the ringing phone before immediately slamming it back down onto the receiver.

[A Parks and Rec AU]

trinkets of your affection: @starklysteve

Kissed him once for every year I loved him, Steve had written.

By that count, Steve owes him five more kisses now.

Tony traces the words, hands trembling, and tips back a shot of Howard's ancient whiskey. None of it burns anymore.

One day, he'll have lived more days without Steve than there are words in the diary.

For the first time since he'd woken with shrapnel in his chest, Tony fears the future.

----------

Or, five things Tony keeps to remember Steve by, and one thing Steve gives him to remember.

Fic Recs: L/G and Thranduil

@enide-s-dear and @katajainen both requested this list – something with Thranduil not being, to quote Enide, “a huge racist bitch.” I tend to seek out good-Thranduil fics when I can, so I’m happy to compile this list! Again, obligatory reminder that this list is not exhaustive and only the fics that I can think of in the time of compilation: I know there is other great stuff out there!

...

A matter of pride by Enide_Dear

Summary: Gimli gets abducted by bandits when visiting Mirkwood. Thranduil does not take lightly on the hospitality and protection of his kingdom getting violated. That is all the lies behind his slight overreactions.

…

My favorite Thranduil-Gimli relationship dynamic, without question, is when they both cling to the pretense of disliking each other but secretly everyone knows they actually like each other a lot, and this fic delivers. I have a known soft spot for damsel!Gimli and berserker!Legolas, which both play in this story, but Thranduil is the real star, and I love him dearly.

I Walked With You (Once Upon A Dream) by The_Dwelf

Summary: Kori is just a regular Dwarf, except, he isn't. He is Gimli's reicarnation, he has been dreaming of his past life since he was a child, and now that he's old enough to leave Erebor, he's certain of his condition. With unexpected help from a very shocked Elvenking, he will find a way to rejoin Legolas, at any costs. Angst, fluff, porn and (spoiler?) a happy ending.

…

I’m recommending this fic for so much more than just the reclist prompt – it’s a wonderful reincarnation AU complete with fluff, angst, delicious hurt/comfort, and just a little smut, for spice. But Thranduil is amazing – and in fact the driver of the plot here, the one trying his hardest to reunite the two lovers – no matter what he has to do in the process.

Northern Babylon by icarus_chained

Summary: After four years fighting the war in the south, Gimli and Legolas have come back to their home city of New Rhovanion changed, and perhaps for the better. Gimli tries to make Elven Councillor Thranduil understand this, and understand that maybe there's hope for more than just Gimli and Legolas as well.

…

So I love this fic for the combination steampunk/solarpunk setting (I might be wrong about those things; I don’t really know aesthetics) and the AU just a tilt off from canon but still following the same general trajectory – the worldbuilding is amazing and I wish there were 100k of it. But this fic as it is is amazing – a serious, hopeful, painful conversation between Gimli and Thranduil in which Thranduil’s history and trauma is palpable to the reader even if we don’t know much about how it would have played out in this story. And a conversation in which they come around to grudging respect for one another.

INSIDE THE STONE by rubyelf

Summary: As close as the elf and dwarf have become, Legolas always seems to keep his secrets. A dangerous encounter while traveling in Mirkwood gives Gimli a chance to have his questions answered... if he wants to.

...

This is one of my favorite specific tropes - Legolas and Gimli are returning to someone’s home, and one of them is injured. This time it’s Legolas in Mirkwood, and the process of healing leads to some...revelations. Of a sexual nature. Read for a particular characterization of Legolas and a Thranduil who doesn’t quite get his son but cares nonetheless, and thinks Gimli is good for him. :) Do mind the tags, though; the consent is . . . it doesn’t cross the line to dubcon for me, but it isn’t perfectly straightforward, either.

Precious Childhood Memories by Enide_Dear

Summary: Thranduil and Glóin find they have certains things in common, such as an appreciation for fine gems, fine drink and the finely tuned fatherly mortification of their offspring

…

This fic. This! Fic! I couldn’t decide whether to put it on the funny list, the Thranduil list, or the meet-the-family list, but I finally decided on this one just because – way to smash the trope of Thranduil and Glóin making the single exception to elf- or dwarf-hatred and instead let them bond over their sons’ misery. It will have you howling.

Love and Fear by ginogollum, starlightwalking

Summary: Legolas rescued Gimli from an orc attack years before they were officially introduced. Gimli remembers every moment of their first meeting. Legolas...doesn't.

…

This is not really about Thranduil, per se – it’s more about a delightful reimagining of Legolas and Gimli and the situations in which they might have seen one another before the Quest – and about the delightful sweetness and powerful emotion of them coming to know and to love one another for real. But Thranduil makes an appearance here and there, as a cordial enough king and a deeply loving father, which is my favorite way to have him. <3

Father, Captain, and King by Thundera Tiger

Summary: Thranduil fills many roles, but one summer night, he finds himself assuming the role he loves best and gets least. Written for father's day, here's a quick look at the relationship between Mirkwood's greatest king and its most famous prince.

…

So this isn’t Legolas/Gimli. In fact, Gimli doesn’t appear at all – and thus this fic doesn’t really deal with Thranduil’s prejudices, or lack thereof. But I had to include it because it’s one of my favorite Legolas-and-Thranduil fics out there – a really deep, complicated exploration of what living in an ongoing siege does by necessity to relationships, and the ways that love and care persist through these struggles – even if they do have to grow a little twisted. I recommend all of Thundera Tiger’s fic, but any pre-series Mirkwood fic deals with this same thing in such loving nuance.

…

If you liked any of these fics, please let the author know with a comment if you have capacity! Also, I encourage you to reblog this list so that we can spread the good word. :)

Steve Rogers x Reader: The Nutcracker(AU) Part 3

(Warning, these are long)

An hour or so later; you, Steve, and Natasha were on the road. You wore a warm winter outfit and a thick coat over it with a hat and mittens. And what do you know? Trudging through the snow with actual winter boots made it a much better experience. Natasha was dressed similarly, and Steve, well, he didn’t exactly need any winter gear in his nutcracker state. Must be nice not having to worry about getting cold.

It was hours of trekking through the snow. You passed the time with word games and asking questions about the kingdom. Natasha and Steve enjoyed it. They asked you questions in return about your life back home. It was a learning experience for everyone.

As the three of you approached the frozen lake, it seemed so vast. One thing you hadn’t noticed before was the little cabin perched right at the shore. Smoke rose from the chimney, and you were reminded of the quaint town you had left behind.

“Oh great,” Steve muttered, stopping at the top of a hill. “I forgot.”

You glanced at him. “What?”

Natasha smirked at you. “An old friend of ours lives in that cabin.”

“He and I didn’t always agree on things,” Steve elaborated. “He refused to stay at the Royal Garden Inn with everyone else after the Mouse King raided the castle. Likes his space.”

“Castle?”

“Yeah, you could say I used to work there. Like Romanoff.”

“Ohh, I see,” you adjusted your coat. “So, what does this mean? Are we still able to cross the lake?”

“Not without Tony’s help.”

“Tony?” your brows rose incredulously. “As in Tony Stark?”

“Yes, the famous inventor,” Steve confirmed. “At least, he’s famous here. How did you know?”

“Oh,” you shrugged. “It’s a long story. But for now, let’s just pretend I overheard something about him at the inn.”

“Alright then.” Steve shook his head. “Either way, I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to run into him again. Not looking like this. Tony’s going to have a field day.”

Knowing what Tony was like in the Avengers movies, your Captain America nutcracker was certainly right. However, if he said that the three of you couldn’t cross the lake without him, he would have to deal with it. In reality, you were excited to meet the character in this world!

- - - -

You, Natasha, and Steve stood at the doorway to the log cabin. Steve and Nat exchanged looks as if daring the other to knock. You shrugged and knocked a few times without hesitation. Steve sucked in a breath, and Natasha looked like she was trying to hold back a smirk.

The door opened, and there he was. Tony stood there, brown eyes staring down the three of you. His gaze rested on Steve before he burst into laughter, hands on his stomach as he roared.

“Really, Tony…” Steve grumbled. “It’s been a while since we saw each other, and this is how you want to go about this?”

“Hey,” the inventor chuckled. “You show up on my door looking like that and expect me to act like nothing’s up? It’s fair game, Cap, and you know it.”

“Alright, alright. Have at it.”

“So, what’s your plan? Chop your arm off if you need firewood?”

“Theeere it is,” Steve sighed.

You shook your head, though you were unable to hide a smile, as you interjected. “Come on, guys, let’s try and grow up.”

Tony’s laughter died down, and his expression became more skeptical as he looked to you. “And who are you? I don’t think we’ve met. Friend of the Royal Highness, I presume?”

“What?” You tipped your head to one side. “No, I’ve never met this prince that everyone keeps talking about.”

“Um, yes you have.”

“Tony, don’t,” Steve warned.

“I never took you for the type to not flaunt your royal status. You had no trouble doing that at the palace.”

“Look, I never wanted to ‘flaunt’ my royalty. There were some people who seemed to forget that I was the one in charge of running the kingdom, and they wanted to do things their way. I had to remind them from time to time.”

“Wait, what’s going on?” you questioned. “Steve? Are you the prince?”

Steve looked at you and nodded. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you at first. I intended to.”

“It’s fine, I mean, it doesn’t really make a difference,” you explained. “But what does bother me is we’re having this discussion out in the cold.”

Tony shrugged and stepped aside so the three of you could file in. His cabin was basically a steampunk workshop with odd devices scattered about and hanging on the walls. There was even a steampunk Ironman suit in the corner.

“Thanks, Tony,” Natasha said. “Now, we didn’t come here so you could make fun of Prince Steve. We’re actually trying to cross the frozen lake to-”

“To find the Sugarplum princess.” Tony rolled his eyes. “You’re not the first. There’s no proof that she even exists other than some ruins where a castle used to be.”

“Well, that’s something,” Steve grasped onto that hope. “___________ and I need to get there and turn back into our original forms.”

Tony looked at you. “What happened to you? You look fine to me.”

“The Mouse King shrunk me in my world.”

“Oh, gotcha.” He stroked his beard as he contemplated this. “I’ve got just the thing to help you lot across the lake. It’s in the workshop out back. Believe or not, I made the finishing touches last night.”

“Wow perfect,” Nat said. “You know, we could use that brain of yours.”

“Yeah, I’m sure you could,” Tony plopped down in a couch and put his feet up on the coffee table in front of it. “But I’m sure Prince Stevie wouldn’t want me coming along.”

“Actually,” Steve spoke up. “Nat’s right. We could really use you on the team, Tony.”

Tony’s brows rose in surprise. “Isn’t this a pleasant surprise? Cap needs my help.”

“Wait, why do you call him Cap if he’s the prince?” You asked. “Not to change the subject or anything.”

Tony chuckled. “It’s short for Captain of the Guard. That’s what he used to be before he was granted Prince status by the kingdom.”

“Ohh, I see.”

“Anyway,” Tony continued. “You sure you want someone with different ideas than you along on the trip?”

“Tony, it never bothered me that you have different ideas. Yes, we are very different. Polar opposites. But you’re a smart man, and we need you. The sooner we find the Sugarplum Princess, the sooner me and ___________ can get changed back and maybe even get help taking down the Mouse King. Then we can all take our rightful place in the palace again. You get your old workshop back. Nat and the rest of the guard resume their post.”

“And you get your nice throne back wrapped up with a pretty bow,” Tony stated, a hint of irritation in his tone.

“I’m going to do things a little differently,” Steve said. “There’s no way I’m letting someone like the Mouse King get through again.”

“Well, what can I say, Cap?” he shrugged. “I guess I’m in.”

“But Tony, you have to- Wait, you’re in?” Steve asked.

“Yep. Let’s do this thang.”

- - - -

“Wow, Tony, you’ve really outdone yourself,” Natasha complimented, giving the horseless sleigh a pat with a gloved hand. “You sure this thing will get us there in one piece?”

“Oh yeah. This baby is pretty fast. In theory, that is.”

“You haven’t tested it yet?” Steve asked. “You know what? I don’t even want to know.”

“Well, what are you all waiting for? Christmas? Get in, and let’s get rolling,” Tony ushered you inside. Steve volunteered as tribute and jumped in first, reaching out a hand to help you.

“I hope this thing doesn’t blow up in my face,” you grumbled, climbing in. It was a casual display of chivalry, but you got bashful as Steve helped you into the spot next to him.

“If it does, it’ll have to go through me first,” he assured you.

“You’ll just feed the fire,” Tony pointed out with a shrug.

“Don’t say that!” Nat gave him a slap with her hat.

Tony raised his hands defensively. “What? He’s literally made of wood!”

You rolled your eyes and hugged your knees to your chest as the inventor started up the engine. It sounded like a few gunshots going off before the sleigh shook violently for a moment, and then the whole thing shut off. After a few more starts, the sleigh finally roared to life.

“Woohoo!” you exclaimed. Then, your mood quickly changed when you happened to glance over your shoulder and see the Mouse King and several of his minions racing across Tony’s backyard towards where you all were at the edge of the lake. “Um, guys?”

Tony’s eyes followed where you were pointing. “Looks like we got this thing started just in time. Mouse Guy and his boys are on their way.” He shifted gears, and the sleigh took off flying onto the frozen lake, spraying snow and ice everywhere. “Thaaat’s right, chitauri. Eat my dust.” Tony shifted another gear, and the sleigh picked up speed. Just like that, the chitauri looked like ants in the distance, growing smaller and smaller behind you. With the danger evaded, you took a moment to enjoy the feel of the wind in your hair. It was ice-cold, but was still a lot of fun.

“This is awesome!” you exclaimed.

“Oh, you want to see awesome?” Tony smirked.

“No, Tony,” Steve scolded. “Do not start doing donuts on the frozen lake. We have a destination to get to!”

Surprise, surprise. Tony did a few donuts anyway. You noticed Steve’s irritation melt away when he looked over at your grinning face.

Next thing you knew, the sleigh engine began to sputter mid-donut. Your smile quickly vanished. The group hadn’t made it across the lake yet. If the engine gave out now, it could be problematic. It revved once or twice, and then it finally just died.

Tony looked at Steve. Steve looked at Tony.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, Stark,” Steve complained, face-palming.

“Hey, I barely had a chance to test it before. We were bound to run into issues anyway.”

“But you didn’t have to push it like that…”

As the two of them began arguing, you and Natasha exchanged looks and shook your heads. “Looks like we’re camping out on the lake,” she said. “With all due respect, Prince Steve, I think you two should stop fighting and start getting ready for when the temperature drops. You do have an emergency kit in this thing, right Stark?”

“Of course I do,” Tony replied. “There are a few compartments under the seats with firewood, blankets, and some snacks. It should be more than enough for a few nights. Worst case scenario, if we run out of firewood, we can throw one of Cap’s arms in there.”

Unamused by his comment, you reached under the seat and found the blankets. Then, Steve and Tony started hauling out firewood and piling it up.

“We’re fortunate to have left the Mouse King in the dust,” Tony commented. “You don’t think they’ll come after us out here, do you?”

“No,” Nat stated. “He’s too much of a coward. And even if he did, it would take them a while before they could reach us. We went pretty fast.”

“That’s good to know,” you said, watching as she pulled out flint and steel and lit the fire. “Also...why are we building a fire on the ice? Won’t it melt?”

The scientist of the group spoke up immediately. “Interestingly, no. Fire burns upward, so it won’t melt the ice. Plus the ash creates a sort of bedding around the fire to keep it from hitting the ice too.”

“Oh wow, that’s pretty cool. And comforting.” You sighed, spreading out a blanket to sit on beside the fire. “If it weren’t so freaking cold out, I’d really enjoy this more.”

“Tell me about it,” Tony agreed.

Steve sat down beside you and put an extra blanket over your shoulders. Nat glanced at him, and then smirked at you knowingly. Tony didn’t miss the moment.

“You’re being as gentlemanly as ever, Cap. What’s up?”

Steve stared at him. “What?”

“Nothing, I just noticed you’re being extra attentive.”

You wanted to crawl back into the sleigh for the night and disappear. Steve just met Tony’s gaze sternly, and thankfully, nothing more was said on the subject. You also saw Nat elbow Tony out of the corner of your eye.

As the night drew on, the temperature did indeed drop. A lot. You thought it was cold before, yikes, you had no idea what was coming. Fortunately, the fire helped a lot. Tony passed out, and Nat drifted in and out of sleep a few times. You could tell she was a light sleeper, probably from being a soldier-spy. Soon enough it was just you and Steve awake. How conveniently romantic. It wasn’t though. Actually, it was a little awkward at first. Neither of you said anything for a few. Finally, he looked over at you.

“You warm enough?”

You tore your eyes from the warm glow of the fire and met his blue ones. “Yeah, I suppose.”

“I know it may not be much help, but come here.” He opened his arms a bit so you could sit right up against him, and you obliged. You expected it to be like sitting against a wall or a wooden dresser, but strangely, it was comforting. It was safe, and perhaps you imagined it, but it was a little warmer.

“Thank you, that’s actually much better,” you told him.

“I’m glad.” He ran his hand up and down your back, as if hoping the friction would bring you more warmth. “I’m sorry we were delayed another day.”

“It’s fine. Things happen,” you chuckled, shooting a glance at sleeping Tony. “Either way, I’m just glad we’re all safe and sound. Cold, but safe.”

“Me too,” he agreed. “Soon we’ll find the Sugarplum princess, and you and I can go back to normal.”

“So she seems cool,” you concluded. “What else do you know about her?”

“They say she’s very beautiful, kind, and compassionate,” he continued, eyes softening. You recognized a pang of jealousy in your chest and a weird twisted feeling in your stomach. Would Steve fall for her? His hero? The one who would change him back and restore the kingdom?

“That’s cool,” you said, not wanting to dig any deeper on that matter. “I do have another question for you. Why did you not want to tell me you were the prince?”

“Oh, that,” Steve scratched the back of his head. “I didn’t want you look down on me for letting my kingdom get overrun by the Mouse King. That, and also because I didn’t want you to see me any different if I was a prince.”

“Me? Look down on you? Never. And to be honest, you’re a superhero in my world, so any star-struck behavior on my part has already passed. Finding out you are the prince here didn’t really change how I feel about you.”

He smiled. “That’s good to know. You’re amazing, you know that?”

You looked up at him, a mixture of surprise and warmth in your eyes. “Thank you. I wouldn’t say ‘amazing’ exactly, but I appreciate it.”

“Well, you are.”

The two of you continued your conversations, talking about random things. It was a different experience getting to know Steve versus seeing him on the big screen. Since he was a prince of a kingdom here, there were some obvious differences. But he still had the same calm demeanor, selflessness, and kindness.

You awoke to Natasha gently nudging you. You weren’t sure at what point you had drifted off to sleep last night. You awoke a few times, missing your home and wondering if they were worried about you. After tossing and turning a bit, you must have fallen asleep.

“Good morning, sleepy-head.”

“Good morning,” you yawned. Tony and Steve were already getting the sleigh loaded. “We’re leaving already?”

“Yeah, Steve insisted we let you sleep a bit. He said you had a rough night. You okay?”

You nodded. “I guess I was a little homesick is all. I’m good, though. Thanks.”

“Glad to hear you’re better,” she helped you pack up the blankets. Boy, it wasn’t nearly as cold as it had been last night, but it still wasn’t the most pleasant. “Stark managed to get the sleigh working again. It was quite the ordeal. I’m surprised you slept through it.”

“Wowzers, well I’m glad we don’t have to walk the rest of the way.”

“I’d have to kill Tony if that were the case.” Nat lifted a brow, and you had a feeling she might be only half-kidding. You hopped into the sleigh in the same spot next to Steve, and Nat and Tony got in shortly after. Tony started it up, and you were off!

It was a while before the island came into view. Upon arrival, Tony was sure to park the sleigh out of sight just in case the Mouse King showed up. It was very doubtful, but you never know. Taking a look around, you realized Fury had been right. The only thing left of the Sugarplum Princess’ castle was ruins. It was snowy and beautiful like the rest of the land here, but nothing seemed particularly interesting about it.

At least, not at first.

prologue to my zukka biopunk role-reversal AU

note: It’s technically a sequel to Through the Ice Darkly, but you don’t need to read it for this snippet. All that’s required to know is that it’s set in a world where the Northern Water Tribe attacked instead of the Fire Nation. Instead of ATLA’s steampunk world, the NWT and SWT developed biopunk technologies instead. Zuko, growing up in a conquered nation, is still obsessed with the Avatar. Sokka is still the son of Hakoda, chief of the SWT, though because his society isn’t ravaged by war, he has more time for his scientific interests.

Though of course, in ATLA-verse, science and spirituality are two sides of the same coin...

They were great adapters, Sokka’s people. Clever and resourceful, they were hunters and dreamers and storytellers. Like ice, they knew how to move and reform with the seasons.

They called themselves the Southern Water Tribe, not because some among them had the power to bend water, but because they thought of themselves as water. They understood and respected the great flexibility of the world.

prologue - when Sokka meets Koh the Face Stealer - snippet under cut

The summer that Sokka was ten, Bato brought him to a hunting camp situated at the mouth of a wide bay, about two days’ journey away from Sokka’s normal home in the capital city. Sokka’s grandmother was there, along with a dozen or so families. They were there to hunt the enormous shoveller deer whose herds migrated to find food in the warmer months. Where the deer went, humans followed. And that summer, Sokka was one of them.

He didn’t want to leave home, but that was what the adults had decided. It seemed a strange and mysterious decision to Sokka, but at ten, most things seemed strange and mysterious to him. Especially Sokka’s own dad. Sokka would have protested, but in the end he loved his dad too much to say anything that could make him sad. There was enough sadness going around already that summer.So when Bato came to take him away to join Gran-Gran and the rest of the people in the Old Village, Sokka went quietly, like the good son he wanted to be.

They called it the Old Village, but in truth the Old Village wasn’t old or a village at all. The people of the Old Village didn’t stay in one place but moved around with the seasons. In winter they built houses out of snow and ice. In spring they traveled on long sleds made of wood boards that were lashed together, and when the temperature warmed they got off their sleds and moved into sod houses instead, or pitched skin-tents to follow animals for hunting.

Once upon a time they would have built or sewed everything by hand or with waterbending. For instance, waterbenders would make the runners for their sleds out of ice, but if there were no waterbenders that generation, people put frozen moss or even frozen fish on the bottom instead, to make sure the sleds skimmed lightly over the terrain nonetheless. This was how it used to be done, but since then even people of the Old Village accepted a few modern conveniences, like sugar and steel Earth Kingdom knives and warm underclothes spun out of air bison wool, which kept out the cold antarctic air like nothing else.

They were great adapters, Sokka’s people. Clever and resourceful, they were hunters and dreamers and storytellers. Like ice, they knew how to move and reform with the seasons.

Part of that flexibility meant that, a century or more ago, when some of them started building a great city out of snow and ice closer to the Pole, some of their friends and clansmen adapted. They moved within its great walls and started new lives there, trading and studying and putting their cleverness and resourcefulness to use inventing new contraptions and new ideas – new animals as well. Some of their friends and family did not do this, and they chose to live the way their people had always lived, adapting themselves to only the great machinery of nature. What was good for their ancestors was good enough for them. They shunned a city life for something bigger and wilder and free.

Neither side lived a better life than the other. They were just different, that’s all.

Sokka’s grandmother liked her life outside the cities; her son-in-law – Sokka’s dad – was content inside one. He was a very important man, and he was responsible for a lot of people, so he and his wife brought up their children inside the capital, where he was busy trying to carve out a future for all of his people. He was very concerned about their future, and because all things were connected that meant he was also concerned about his past. He often sent his children to visit his mother-in-law. He wanted them to sleep in sod houses and learn to cut deer hides and listen to old stories, so they wouldn’t forget the old ways. Where they came from.

When Sokka becomes a young man, the past will become an interesting topic for him too. But the summer that he was ten, he wasn’t thinking about any of this. He was too busy doing two things: the first was avoiding the other boys, and the second was watching the otter-penguins.

There was a colony of them a mile away from the hunting camp. They were all the company Sokka required that summer.

A mile’s walk there and a mile back wasn’t much distance for a ten-year-old boy with a lot of energy, and a few weeks after he and Bato arrived there, Sokka began sneaking away every morning to visit the rocky beach where the rookery gathered. No one accompanied him, and he found that he liked it that away. The otter-penguins were amazingly social creatures with one another, and they accepted their strange featherless visitor with a cool indifference. Sokka had arrived just before their eggs were ready to hatch, and the penguins were more concerned about diving for food than about him.

So he spent those weeks observing them, sometimes mimicking their waddling walk for his own amusement, sometimes working on projects that he designed for himself. He built a little roofless house right by the rookery, and he built it by piling up driftwood and pebbles he found on the beach. Some days he sat there for hours, just watching the flock. He learned a lot about them very quickly. For instance, the male otter-penguins had excellent balance. Even an injured male could hold a round egg against his stomach, gracefully tumble over small precipices and trip across rocky slopes – and never drop it. And after the eggs hatched, the female otter-penguins took care of the pups in the water and held them close by wrapping them with strands of seaweed. And they each had their own names, just like humans did. The mothers and father made distinct noises to call their own pups back to them when it was time for feeding.

They did all of this, and Sokka watched. He listened. He observed.

At ten, Sokka should be doing chores around the camp: fetching and carrying, sharpening knives and harpoons, scraping the hair off hides, helping to repair and maintain the skin-canoes – that sort of thing. But he was no good at doing any of that. He was ten and going through that unfortunate phase where none of his limbs were the right length, and everything he did that summer he seemed to do wrong. He kept dropping knives and ripping up fishing nets by accident. The worse part was that the other boys didn’t even laugh at him; they gave him looks of pity instead.

Before long, he gave up on the chores and the camp altogether. He avoided the other boys, and after a while they avoided him right back, which suited Sokka fine. He’d found something more interesting to think about anyways.

That summer he was ten was a time of sunlight, rocks, penguin calls, and the rushing tides. It was the first and last time he ever applied himself to anything with such purity of purpose. He was acquiring knowledge the same way that the otter-penguins dived for fish or hatched their eggs: instinctively, without questioning why.

The little otter-penguins were cute, with their soft fuzzy heads and their wobbling walk. Sokka liked them, and though he winced when some of them were eaten by the leopard seals who prowled the dark, frigid sea, he never interfered. The fish were food to the otter-penguins, just as they were food to the seals, just as the seals might one day be food for Sokka himself. His father called it the miraculous interchange that made the universe work, and Sokka believed him. But still, he felt sad. The poor parents that had worked so hard through the winter were left with nothing to show for it. It seemed unfair..

It was sad, but Sokka could bear it. He did bear it, until one day, when Sokka himself was busy repairing one wall of his driftwood house – the colony started yipping and fussing like nothing he’d ever heard before.

Sokka ran to see what was the matter, expecting a seal or maybe even a particularly bold black whale. But when he got to the source of the commotion he nearly stumbled from the shock.

One of the penguins was missing a face.

There were no smears of blood, no telltale signs of shredded feathers. This was no ordinary injury from a preying seal. Somehow, the dark eyes and the nubby beak was gone. There was nothing but a smooth patch of feather, like someone had wiped their sleeve across a patch of snow. It was a female penguin, and she was waddling sightlessly, trying to find its way back to its hungry pups.

Sokka looked around him wildly; the mother had left her two pups a bit farther up, on a great flat rock shelf. The pups whined, but the rest of the otter-penguins were calming down now, returning to their placid business, diving and feeding and caring for their own young. He looked back at the faceless penguin, still waddling around in circles, unable to sense the hungry cries of her own children.

What happened? Sokka had never seen anything like this before, but one thing was clear: the mother was ill, and she would not get better. He examined the pups: without a mother to teach them how to swim and feed, they would both die before the season was over.

The world was very cruel to children without mothers.

“No!” Sokka screamed out loud. “No, no, no!”

All his grief and loneliness surged up at once from a small dark space inside his heart. All the sadness he’d been carrying exploded through him, and it was such an enormous feeling that, had Sokka been a waterbender, the tides next to him would have crested and crashed with powerful roars of foam.

But he wasn’t a bender, and something else that was stranger and wilder happened instead. The world shimmered; the air itself cracked down the middle, and everything that Sokka had been so calmly and so happily observing a moment ago became strange.

Mist rolled by, even though it was a sunny day. Flying, glowing creatures zoomed around Sokka, and everything became brighter and richer in colour, even through the mist. Sokka stopped screaming, fascinated by the changes in the landscape. He wanted to chase one the flying creatures, but then something scuttled by him and left a chill running down his spine.

It was a massive being, many-legged like an insect, coal-black and plated with hard shells. It looked like a bug but it had the head of a human woman – a disconcertingly pretty one with sad grey eyes.

“Hello there,” said the bug-thing in a rasp. Its face flickered, changed in rapid succession from the young woman to an old man to some sort of animal Sokka had never seen before.

Sokka stumbled backwards, fell, and cried out again when his palms scraped against the rocks. The thing changed its faces like a dancer putting on masks for a ceremony, except it when a dancer took off their mask at the end of the ceremony, the whale or seabird went away and the dancer became human again.

Whatever this creature was, it wasn’t human.

It’s been a long time since I came this south, said the creature. But the Avatar has a powerful pull on all of us.

Sokka screamed. He tried to get up and he tried to run, but he couldn’t. One sharp pincer edged towards him. It came closer, closer–

And then a distant mountain peak, one that Sokka had seen a million times before, leaned down. It crossed the hundreds of miles between them like it was a single step, and the mountain bent its great heft over the creature, all its crag and weight bearing down with unbearable pressure, and then the mountain too spoke:

Not yet, Koh. We still need him.

The creature hissed, about to object, but then the ocean, all salt and tumbling motion, also rose up and added its presence to the mountain’s.

Leave him, said the ocean, and this command was echoed by the unseen moon and the distant aurora and the ancient rock under their feet.

“First it was the moon girl, now it’s this boy,” Koh said. “Mark my words: we’re intervening too much in human affairs, and you all know it.”

Koh gave one last look at Sokka, and then disappeared, scuttling back into the mists. Sokka was too terrified to speak, too terrified to move. All the spirits were focusing their attention on him now. He knew this instinctively, the same way that he knew up from down, light from dark, the smell of burning deer fat from seal.

The mountain shifted; the enormous and distant rock became a heavy weight hovering over Sokka's chest. It prodded him there, like a finger.

Hello, Sokka, said the mountain, and the greeting was echoed a hundred times. A million.

Hello Sokka. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Sokka didn’t remember running the distance back to the camp, but he must have, because the next lucid thing he remembered was throwing his arms around Bato, not caring that he was leaving blood and dirt over Bato’s clothes.

“What’s wrong?” asked Bato, his brows creased with concern. “Sokka, what happened?”

Sokka shook his head. He was born and raised a city kid; he would always be one at heart. He could not describe how terrifying it was to discover that, the whole time he was looking at the world, the world was looking back.

“Bato, please,” he sobbed. “Please. I want my mother. Where is she? Where’s Mom?”

Bato patted his head and held him close. “Oh, Sokka,” he said – and nothing else.

Sokka’s grandmother was nearby too, running over from some task with her grisly knife still in hand. She clucked her tongue; wiped the blade off with a brisk motion. “Tell the boy to stop wailing and get him inside somewhere, I’ll bring him something to eat. Something warm will snap him out of it.”

Sokka raised his head from where it was buried in the material of Bato’s sealskin parka; he shook it. He wanted to stop too, but his body had other ideas. Water was running down his face: a mix of tears and snot, blood from where he had bitten his own tongue. The taste of it all was frightful, all coppery and salty, slick from the mucus building up in the back of his throat, which was too wet and too dry all at once.

“Dad?” It was someone else who came to see what was going on: Ayaliq, Bato’s own daughter. She trotted over and cuddled Sokka from his side, wrapping her little arms around him and Bato at the same time. “Don’t be upset,” she said. “It’s okay, Sokka.”

One of Bato’s hands cupped the back of Sokka’s head, a warm protective weight. “Leave him be,” he said to Sokka’s grandmother. “This is the first time he’s cried since the day itself. It’s only been three months.”

“You think I don’t remember how long ago my only child died?”

Sokka let out another howl. His vision was swimming; the force of his gasps made him light-headed. Gran-Gran gave him a sharp tap on the back of his head. The sudden jolt of pain stunned him, but it also grounded him back in reality.

“You shouldn’t have brought him here alone,” Gran-Gran said in the silence. “He needs his sister and his father with him.”

“What could I do, Kanna? The Northern Water Tribe is here making threats again; Hakoda wouldn’t leave the capital. Katara wouldn’t leave her father, not even for her brother. And I had to take him here, Kanna – at least out here Sokka’s taking an interest in something. You didn’t see him in those first few days. We could barely get him to get out of bed. He grieves hard for someone so young.”

Gran-Gran sighed. “I grieve for my daughter too,” she said. “Every day. Every minute. But death is a part of life. My grandson will learn this in time.”

Sokka wanted to say that he had already learned plenty, but instead he spat weakly on the ground and watched the string of drool stretch, then snap in mid-air. It was disgusting. He felt disgusting. He had also wet his pants, he realized, and he was so embarrassed to be like a little kid again in front of Ayaliq, that he shoved his face back into Bato’s parka. Ayaliq was a year younger than him, but she had probably never wetted her pants.

“Be kind to your cousin, Ayaliq,” Bato was saying. “And give him some time, Kanna. Let him cry for now. Just let him cry. He needs it.”

--------

Later, as a young man, when Sokka’s sister would breathlessly tell him about meeting the Avatar, the bridge between their world and the Spirit World, Sokka would scowl. He would turn away with his heart pounding.

“I prefer things that exist in the real world,” he would say, and it would come out much harsher than he’d meant it to. Katara would take it as a sign that he was judging her somehow, that he thought she was a silly girl for believing in the extraordinary. She would react badly to Sokka’s disapproval of the Avatar.

And Sokka did disapprove, though not for those reasons. He disapproved because he was afraid.

He wasn’t good at explaining it, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that the world of spirits was not necessarily friendly towards the human one. That his brief glimpse – hallucination? – of the Spirit World told him that it was brisk and insensate, that it was filled with impossible angles and geometric paradoxes. That its inhabitants were ancient and careless beings whose intelligence was beyond human, and obeyed rules set not by morality but by order and chaos. Those beings were sometimes benign, sometimes malicious, always incomprehensible. Sokka wasn’t sure he wanted to meet a person who bridged that world to theirs.

He wasn’t like Katara, always with her eye fixed on some higher purpose. The everyday world with its speechless mountains and rolling seas, its everyday interchange of energies and motion: this was enough for him. Sokka didn’t need to meet Tui and La to appreciate the wonder of the tides and the moon. What spirits that existed in this world already were vast and incomprehensible enough.

Sokka would prefer to keep the two worlds un-bridged.

He couldn’t explain this to Katara, and they would grow even further apart because of this. Piercing through to the Spirit World would be easier than crossing the chasm between them. It was as if Kya’s death had split some fundamental building block of the world as Sokka had known it: On one side, Sokka went with Bato; on the other, Katara stayed with their father.

On one side, the radiance of discovery. On the other, the terror of what he might find. And then, much later, the horror of what Sokka’s discoveries would be used for.

By the Avatar.

AA4 Medieval AU

getcher apollo justice fantasy/medieval au right here. (spoilers for aa4 kinda tho)

this idea will not leave my mind so... take it... i think i messed up some details lol but this is just for fun so please, don’t rake me over the coals for it.

(time is screwed up here so before the timeskip apollo is 7 and trucy is a baby. after the timeskip apollo is 14 and trucy is 7. for the sake of it i’m gonna have klavier also be about 14 post-timeskip. other ages may be scaled down for consistency... idk i had to make it work somehow.)

Once upon a time, King Magnifi of the House Gramarye ruled the land in peace. In his old age, his daughter Princess Thalassa readied herself to become queen. It came time for Thalassa to choose a royal consort, the person who would also be the next king of Attornia.

There were two choices, Zak and Valant. In the end, Princess Thalassa chose Zak. Disgraced, Valant left for parts unknown. Thalassa and Zak married and received Magnifi’s blessing before his death. Thus began the reign of Queen Thalassa of House Gramarye, and King Zak Enigmar.

It wasn’t to last, however. Seeing his chance to seize power, Count Kristoph of the House Gavin, King Zak’s closest advisor, betrayed King Zak and murdered him in cold blood. All the evidence vanished without a trace, and the case was never solved. In the process, he was able to cause Queen Thalassa significant injury, as well. The people assumed she, too, had been murdered in this incident...

Though hotly debated throughout Attornia, no one could deny that the line of succession had been broken, since Queen Thalassa and King Zak had not had any children, and therefore no heirs or heiresses to the throne. According to the law, Count Kristoph, at the age of 25, was now able to seize power and become King Kristoph of Attornia.

His rule, while considered by many to be stable, measured, and fair, was completely tyrannical. He arranged for the citizens to worship him like a god, encouraged a cult of personality, tripled work hours on the poor and taxed basically all the citizens into poverty, then used all the tax money to build extravagant monuments to himself, and expand the palace into his personal utopia complete with gold, jewels and hundreds of servants. One of his servants is a young foundling named Apollo Justice, who’s about 7 years old when he was left at the palace gates. King Kristoph decided to make Apollo his successor... someday. But for now he’s being trained as a servant, because he’s just useful like that, and he’s eager to please.

But, there is still hope for Attornia, as Queen Thalassa has one trump card hidden up her sleeve. She was spirited away from the palace by her attendants, and forced into a life of hiding as the mysterious wise woman, Lady Lamiroir. Her memory had been taken from her by the injuries sustained during Gavin’s assault. What no one knows, though, is that she was pregnant at the time. Luckily, the baby was unharmed. She is Trucy Gramarye, the one true princess. To keep her safe, Lamiroir entrusts the girl to a trusted man, Phoenix Wright.

Some seven years have now passed since then, and Attornia is still suffering under the reign of the House Gavin. Trucy Gramarye is 7. Apollo Justice is about 14. The day comes at last when Apollo meets a strange man in town, a mysterious stranger in peasant clothing named Phoenix Wright, who tells him a tale of the true and rightful heir to the throne. By rights, Trucy should be crown princess, as she has royal blood. (Phoenix will serve as regent king in her place until she’s old enough to rule.) At first Apollo doesn’t and can’t believe it, because King Kristoph would never lie to him, right? And Apollo then learns that he, too, has royal blood... except for the little issue that he’s a product of an illegitimate relationship between Princess Thalassa and a bard named Jove Justice and therefore has no claim to the throne. This crushes Apollo as all his hopes of becoming what Kristoph has been training him to be all his life are dashed. (I kind of waffle on whether Jove should be alive as a bard or dead in this AU. Alive would be good. Let’s go with alive. Or else this AU is going to be too traumatic for Apollo. How he got separated from Apollo is... something I’ll think about later but it’ll probably be sad)

But, once Phoenix shows Apollo once and for all how the poor are suffering under the reign of Gavin, Apollo eventually changes his mind and decides to join the effort to investigate and restore peace to the realm, with the help of Phoenix, Trucy, Lamiroir, and... others!

One thing Kristoph doesn’t want to draw attention to is his brother, Klavier, who is a knight in training (and a bard with a lute on the weekends). Instead of granting him a lofty government position, he hides him somewhere in the ranks of the knighthood and otherwise avoids interacting with him. Daryan is one of the other knights in training (and is also a bard). The captain of knights in training is Romein LeTouse. The foremost of all knights is Sir Edgeworth. (Simon Blackquill is one of the other knights because yes. And who doesn’t want Knight!Blackquill with Taka?)

Supporting cast includes weird jester Spark Brushel, a medieval pub run by Eldoon and Olga Orly, a scholarly monk named Wesley Stickler, a small village/hamlet run by the Kitakis where Wocky is considered royalty, royal healers Pal Meraktis and Alita Tiala, and a certain Marie-Curie-like young woman named Ema Skye who is a relatively well-off lady to most, but secretly has a whole science lab running experiments with beakers and a lot of steampunk stuff. Phoenix keeps an eye on Lady Lamiroir who has to stay in hiding. She takes in a young boy named Machi Tobaye, who reminds her of the son she lost many years ago (she doesn’t know that Apollo is that son, or doesn’t find out until later). There’s also the royal portrait painter Drew Misham and his daughter Vera.

The gang ends up diffusing some diplomatic troubles between Wocky’s family and Alita Tiala when it comes out that Alita is just looking to marry into royalty. In the next plot, Daryan is revealed to be a traitor to the knighthood and is doing some shady stuff on the order of King Kristoph, such as tailing the gang to find out how much they know. (If Kristoph finds out about Trucy and gets to her first, it’s all over...) Klavier eventually becomes part of the gang, turns out his knowledge is extremely helpful, but Apollo does question whether he can even be trusted considering his relationship to Kristoph. Most of the rest of the plot is attempts to destabilize Kristoph’s regime and reveal his evil and selfish acts. For some reason I’m seeing a situation with a play, where somebody gets to say (probably Apollo) “So the play’s the thing wherein we’ll catch the conscience of the king?” because, yes. In the final plot, royal portrait painter Drew Misham and his daughter, Vera, are in trouble and are at risk of being executed by King Kristoph (botched portrait of the king maybe??). The gang has to stop that at any cost. And, they have to reveal to the entire kingdom the true nature of King Kristoph... and the fact that he’d be willing to execute an innocent painter and a young girl is definitely going to make clear that true nature to everyone.

And finally, of course our heroes triumph in the end, and Phoenix becomes King of Attornia, as regent for Trucy who will one day be Queen! Lady Lamiroir also gets to return, and she is still considered a beloved ruler despite her injuries preventing her from fully embracing the role, she still supports Trucy and Phoenix from the background. And some of her memories return! Apollo of course will always have a place as part of the family, too, and decides royal life isn’t for him. He instead becomes something of a local mediator of disputes! And they all lived happily ever after!

As for King Kristoph, he is pissed and promises he’ll return with a vengeful scheme. For now they just exile him to some remote island like Napoleon where he’ll hopefully just rot and die. But we still have to set up the sequel somehow right??

Now someday I need to find the time to... actually write this and make it like a 50k or something longer... oh boy

#apollo justice #aa4 #this is fun #i don't usually au but when i do... oh baby. i do

Omegaverse Fantasy AU (Approximately in a Steampunk/1920’s transition period): King Gundham has recently been crowned king in his own right after a rather long regency (his father was assassinated when he was younger, not that he’s too upset, since his dad was a violent asshole who never treated Gundham’s mother well. Gundham was their only child, so he became king.) Now that he’s king, his mother tells him that the council is expecting him to start considering who he wants as a mate. He’s not very happy about this, since he’s painfully shy and he doesn’t want to be forced to choose a mate, but this is his mother and he loves her, so Gundham agrees to perform the Soulmate Ceremony.

The Soulmate Ceremony is a magical/religious ceremony where an unmated royal would have a magical rite performed and, at the end, it will show their ideal mate. It works best when the royal is rather open with their intentions and when the ideal mate is shown as actually obtainable (or within their acceptable social range), but plenty of royals have wed ideal mates that are way out of their social circle or required great lengths to even meet in person, much less mate. The Tanakas haven’t had the ritual done for their family members in centuries, mostly getting into political marriages or, on occasion, never officially mating the other parent of their children. But Gundham has much more faith and interest in magic, no prior engagement, and absolutely no interest in trying to woo one of the dams that are practically falling over themselves for him (combination of shyness and disinterest in most, if not all of them).

Sonia, Gundham’s best (and only) friend and a very capable mage in her own right, visits with her wife, Kyoko (they met through an international smuggling case Kyoko was working on), and Gundham asks her to help perform the Soulmate Ceremony, since he can’t do it by himself and he doesn’t want to bring in someone he doesn’t know to help set him up with who is supposed to be the love of his life. Sonia gladly accepts and by the next day, the preparations for the ceremony are complete and Gundham is pacing anxiously in a private chamber next to his throne room out of nervousness (though he would never admit it).

Gundham’s mother, being the saint she is, tells him that he doesn’t have to go through with the ceremony if he doesn’t want to or even get a mate if he doesn’t want to but Gundham reassures her, telling her that he’ll go through with the ceremony. Mother and son share a very sweet hug and they head out into the throne room, which is absolutely filled with the press because a Tanaka hasn’t had the ceremony performed in centuries and this is a super significant event that determines the future stability of the nation.

The ritual goes ahead and, appearing in the magic smoke from the incense, is the technomage (a person with control over technology and who creates such advanced tech that it might as well be magic, never has much, if any actual magic) Kazuichi, who lives near the dragon-infested mountains on the border and has quite a few nasty rumors surrounding him, including him killing his own father and laying waste to his home village with his inventions when the authorities came to arrest him for the murder.

Gundham is smitten instantly, of course, despite the terror and horror from about half of the visitors to the castle and the frantic flood of questions from the press about what the hell that means for their royal family and country (Gundham’s mother is mostly happy that Gundham’s happy; Sonia’s happy that the ritual worked (at least he didn’t go into an allergic shock from the incense like her cousin Nagito did during his ritual) and Gundham’s clearly smitten with Kazuichi; Kyoko’s mentally evaluating all of the information she knows about Gundham’s preferences and how well Kazuichi matches up with them).

Now, Kazuichi has not done anything from the rather nasty rumors about him; he just ran away from his village to the mountains by using his technology (Which includes humongous magic crystal-powered mecha that he can never actually ride in before getting motion sick from the first step of the mecha) and he quite ardently refuses to interact with anyone that tries to use his technology for malicious purposes, sires from town that won’t take a hint, or the nosy press (he’s got a security system surrounding his property which he activates at will to take out unwanted guests).

He’s taking a social call from his two friends and fellow technomages Chihiro and Miu when there is some rather firm, repeated knocking on his cottage door. He’s not expecting anyone, which confuses him a lot, so he gets up from their planning table to answer the door. Which is when he opens the door to see the actual King standing there (holding a bouquet and blushing bright red into his customary scarf?) flanked by two royal guards (Nekomaru and Akane) and a larger royal retinue and press corp standing just 30 ft behind the King, which he can’t really see because both guards and the King (the actual King!) are very broad and buff, especially the King who looks so much bigger than in the papers (did he mention that this was the actual king?!?)

Gundham is quietly talking with Nekomaru and Akane (they’re giving him a pep talk before he actually talks to Kazuichi) when the door opens and he sees Kazuichi answer the door in messy simple workman’s clothes and wow, he looks so much more attractive in person and his scent is amazing and Gundham can feel himself blush into his scarf, oh, Great Spirits, speak you fool!!

And before Gundham can get a word out, Kazuichi shrieks and shuts the door behind him. And the press caught every moment of it. So this is going to be much more difficult than anyone thought.

—

Mod: The way you wrote this made me laugh so much, especially the end with all the emphasises and their thoughts in the text. Though the best part is by far the fact that Kazuichi’s only reaction to the king is shrieking in fear and slamming the door into his face, for everyone to see and enjoy. (Though the mentioning that Nagito went into an allergic shock when he did the ritual was funny as well, even if I feel so bad for him ^^” But it’s fitting, since this is Nagito and almost dying in exchange for finding his soulmate is just how he works ^^”)

When Gundham does the ritual I could so see him not actually really believing that anything would come out of it. Not because he doesn’t believe in it, but because he likes to pretend that he’s an evil overlord he needs no one and is destined to walk the world alone. Which is nothing more than him trying to hide that he is probably shaking from nervousness and shyness about the prospect of having to court and mate someone. At least until he actually sees Kazuichi and instantly falls in love. No matter if other’s might be in shock that this was supposedly a wanted murderer. Though to his luck he is friends with Kyoko who would be fast to find out what really happened with Kaz’s old village and his dad

The courting would be a pure adventure, because one of the first things Gundham needs to do is actually get close to Kazuichi, who has a lot of high level technology solely designed to keep people away from him. That Kazuichi probably also fears that the king is there to arrest him or force him to give him his service as a inventor to build him god know what also doesn’t help, because no one ever wanted anything else from the poor guy. Though then imagine Kaz’s reaction when he actually learns that the king doesn’t want him in prison or as an inventor for deadly machines, but actually wants him as his mate and future queen. Him, as the queen of the whole kingdom. Now that is something to kick off his anxiety x)

I could also imagine that many within the kingdom, and also the royal court, wouldn’t be very trusting of Kazuichi as a future queen (and maybe also question it if a guy who is destined to love a “wanted criminal” would be a good king) and try to get in-between the courtship or even try to get rid of Kazuichi altogether. This could add in quite a lot of drama

TOP 9 of 2019

Decided to do TOP 9 fics I enjoyed writing for 2019! :D (top 10 is for end of 2020) And this is in no particular order.

Nothing’s Changed - kustard lamia; general fluff - childhood sweethearts growing up The writing style in this is something I’m not used to, but it was fun to explore doing.

To See the World Before your Eyes from Rose Garden Series - Pepper Roses = Razz/Rose; steampunk AU - rated M for parent loss/parent death and violence I enjoyed writing this a fuckton. The depiction of this ship (Razz here especially) is one I adore a million times. Also, shout out to victorian era and airships/steam machines! XD

Of Bites and Lust - kustard; prostitute Red and vampire/scientist Sans - rated Explicit for miscarriage, rape, suicide tendencies; however, it’s a happy ending This is the rp I did with @scarpathcat (awesome rp partner) and it was one of the best ones we did. From here, I got to experience having other/side characters playing a part in a story, really get to play with character dynamics, and even started the birth of my OC son, Rosella Sans. Without this foundation, there would be no Rose nor this wonderful rp. Furthermore, I LOVE old age/elderly death. It’s my favourite way of dying. Wholesome, heartwarming, and sad and happy at the same time. I enjoyed writing the epilogue with gusto.

What’s Mine is Yours. I Won’t Forget from Rose Garden Series - Smokey Roses = G!Sans/Rose; slave AU - rated M for sexual implications It’s a short piece, but I love the dark undertone. Plus, I enjoy seeing/reading, and writing smoking scenes. It’s cool to imagine, and may give a noir-esque vibe to it. I’m a fan of the noir.

Remember When ... from Rose Garden - Cinnamon Roses = ut!Paps/Rose; opposing kingdoms AU - rated M for major character death This one gave me feels. Even though it was simple. Gotta love them angst tragedies. :’D

I’m Your Brother - fellbros; bros trying to be bros I have to admit. I remember when this started off as simply a whimsical idea. Then it had a part 2, then a drawing, and it just kept growing and me adding on to it. Initially, the concept was interesting, but wasn’t too interesting for me at the time, and rereading it again now to finish the epilogue chapter, it actually is! Naturally, I didn’t want to make the series too long so the chapter length were short. And after rereading it, I need to make Extra chapters now too. X’D Still! It was very fun, and brings a lot of feels. And I also like writing my swaps being down to earth. X’D

Voices from The Corner of Kustard - kustard; voice actors AU - rated M for va sexy scenes I like the AU. Was planning on making a series for it, but I have too many on my plate to do so. But the idea is still funny! XD

Take the Damn Compliment from The Corner of Kustard - kustard; general fluff I like the scenario of someone trying to make the other not put themselves down so much. And said person complimenting gets angry that the other isn’t taking them seriously. Very cute. ^w^

Huuaaave you from The Corner of Kustard - kustard; lamia red and owner sans - general fluff I voiced out the snake talk to write it ... Pretty much it. X’D (then again, I voice out even drunk/baby talk. So one of the many things) Plus lamias. Can’t get enough of lamias. I love my reptiles. :D Now I wanna write Rose having his pet reptile. I’m still debating between snake or creating a beast of my own. lol.

Tangent: As much as I’d love to, Rose is a bunny. Orz Not a snake or a crocodile. He fits a bunny more. Snake only in lamia AU lol.

And that’s it! XD

I didn’t write too much this year. Not as much as last year, so my choices for top 9 after reaching 6 was even more difficult as I could only look to drabbles I did. Ahahaha~ Maybe this 2020 will allow me to have more things to write for top 10. :)

#just me appreciating #top 9 of 2019 #great year :D

diary, backstory and time-lapse 💖

diary: how many pieces have you written that are just for you or will never see the light of day?

idk if wips count in this but for the sake of my sanity i’ll just count the stuff i HAVE finished. So I can think of about six or seven finished things I have never posted anywhere and will never post anywhere, as follows:

My 2013 NaNoWriMo project called Merge - basically it’s about a queer girl who has the power to “merge” consciousnesses with any living being. It’s not really taking over their minds, more like sharing the body with the other consciousness, and sort of combining the two minds. Anyway she grows up in the woods all alone until a chance encounter with another girl thrusts her into a dystopian futuristic city. Never gonna do anything with this lol but it was the very first novel length thing I ever finished and I was really happy I did it!

“The Lion’s Jaw” - short story i didn’t finish editing but the first draft is finished, at least. A personal piece based on a toxic friendship.

Another short story whose title I can’t remember but I never intended to do anything with it, I just wanted to write an atmospheric piece about a girl falling in love with her best friend so I did.

Fanfic stuff

Ender’s Game - Alai/Ender - sdkfjsndkfjnsdkjfsndkfjdsn

Attack on Titan - Reiner/Bertholdt - high school AU

Free! - Sousuke/Rin - drunken makeouts [this one is more because I wrote it on a computer that broke and i will never get that file back but anyway]

Voltron - Shiro/Keith - fem!sheith AU

SKAM - Even/Isak - morning domesticity drabble

And of course all the WIPs i shall never finish rip. Generally though if I do manage to finish something I’ll probably plan on sharing it eventually. And the cheesy answer is everything I’ve written, published or not, is stuff I write for myself! So there’s that.

backstory: how did you come to love writing?

I mean, I’ve loved reading for almost as long as I can remember, so I’ve always loved stories which I guess is where it starts. Then when I was six years old I wrote my first story on a piece of printer, front to back, with a magic marker. And that’s when I realized I loved telling them, too. And I never looked back.

I used to have a notebook after that where I would keep all my story ideas, and i think when I was around eight I wrote my first “actual” story with a plot called “The Hero of Athlog” about a princess who would sneak out of the palace to fight crime. It was around ten I started becoming extremely serious about trying to write novels and I would practice writing and building stories by roleplaying on forums and getting my online friends to critique my writing - some attempts I got fairly far with include such hits like “The Black Queen”, about a monarch who plunged her entire kingdom into eternal darkness, and “The Trials of Freedom”, a steampunk story about a bunch of teens at a prestigious academy; I was very creative with my titling I know lol - but I didn’t actually manage to finish a long-form story until I was sixteen. And now here we are! Basically it’s just something I’ve always loved and I don’t even know why I decided I did, I just... did.

time-lapse: how long have you been writing (as a hobby or for work)?

Well, I guess my answer to the last question answers this lol. I usually pinpoint my origin point as when I was six years old bc that’s my clearest memory of it but who knows, really. I’ve been writing fanfic since I was maybe ten or eleven but I count the real start of my career as 2015 bc that’s when I created my current AO3. Sooooo yeah!

Writer asks!

I don’t know why, but I came up with a Little Mermaid/Merfolk inspired AU for Captain Underpants. Yes, you just read that correctly.

...Even though I ALREADY did that for a Moana fan fic, though this one would have actual merfolk and no one loses their voice this time. And I don’t really want to make another one of those fics anytime soon and whenever I do a fan fic, its usually on fan fiction.net and they either tend to be a hit or they don’t, but this idea was too great to keep to myself. AND IT SOMEHOW WORKS AND I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT LIKE THE IDIOT I AM! Why did I grow to love CU THIS much?! As per tradition, I like to twist things so that the sources and stories can be able to blend together. Though I’d like to imagine this AU is modern enough to incoporate a kingdom on the surface with a seaside carnival/boardwalk with a turn of the 20th century to 1930’s influence, but it still has the classical fairytale elements while being able to get away with something that might come from CU, like robots or something steampunk inspired if I needed to. This is not the complete story, but this is what I’d like to imagine could happen.

So both George and Harold are young merboys (and yes, Harold gets to be half dolphin. I don’t know what kind of creature George would be half of but I’m tempted to say half orca, unless someone can come up with a better recommendation) living in an undersea kingdom that’s not far from a kingdom by the shore on the surface. Their parents work in the castle, where they’ve lived for as long as they can remember. Its not as fun as it sounds though because there aren’t too many children in the kingdom, they don’t exactly get along that well with the king, and they have to keep their favorite hobbies a secret because... well…

Both the worlds above and below used to be in perfect harmony and supported each other in their own ways (whether they were aware of it or not) but around the time the boys were born, the king suddenly forbade any contact with the above world and any hint of it within the undersea kingdom would be met with punishment. The king–who of course would be Krupp in this AU (and whose part great white shark and has the infamous sharp teeth as a permanent part of his physical appearance instead of as a visual gag. What ELSE would he be?)–is pretty much like how he is in the books/movie and isn’t that well liked by everyone because of how strict and harsh he can be, not to mention how he’s against any forms of creativity. And of course he isn’t fond of children and he’s especially not that fond of these two merboys so seem so eager to retaliate against him with any acts of rebellion imaginable (from pranks to rearranging signs to say vulgar things). Yet he is also the most powerful being in the kingdom and his connections to the sea is strong enough that his anger can cause literal storms. Both Harold and George have heard rumors that the king wasn’t always like this–yes he did take things seriously, he didn’t have a great temper, and he didn’t have a great upbringing, but once upon a time he was a lot nicer and was said to be as curious about the world above like the others. But then one day the king suddenly became cold hearted and seemed to regard the world above as a horrible place and any form of creativity or fun to be awful and a complete waste of time. No one knows why he’s like this or even if he was secretly like this to begin with, but there is a rumor that there was a strange human scientist who used to visit the kingdom that might have done something to the king before he was exiled. Some swear that something happened and that Krupp’s ability to be compassionate and optimistic was suppressed or that he actually had his heart removed from his body and that it was contained in some sort of vessel that’s near impossible to find. Both the boys find it pretty amusing as well as disturbing, but it doesn’t change their opinion about Krupp. Despite everything, the boys love to escape the castle and go to a secret grotto (like the tree house) that’s somewhere above the water and looks like a large rock on the outside. It is also where the sun can peer though the gaps and holes to provide light, so they both love to come up with stories and draw to their heart’s content, away from judging or wrathful eyes as they enjoy the warmth of the sun.They also find odd trinkets from the surface world that they hide in the grotto that would otherwise be confiscated and they wonder what it would be like to explore this above world that the king hates so much because, from what they’ve seen, it actually seems pretty awesome and a lot more fun compared to their kingdom.

One day the boys find out that the merfolk used to go up on surface and turned themselves into humans so that they could explore the surface world, though that too is forbidden and can invoke an even more horrible punishment. Both decide that this would be the ultimate act of rebellion against the king, plus they would get an adventure out of it. I think George would be the one who is more eager to go to the surface world and be human, but Harold is more reluctant because he REALLY likes being part dolphin and he doesn’t want to leave his family like his dad left them. But George would reassure them and say that their parents might plead to the king to go easy on them if they stay up above long enough. That or finally snap and nag him about it until he gives in. After some careful searching throughout the kingdom and eventually the forbidden chambers of the castle, they finally acquire the means to turn human in the form of magical armbands or pendants and the ones they select just happen to match (like friendship bracelets because I think that would be cute as all heck). But the downside is that they made one huge distraction in the form of a prank in the attempt to get what they needed (lets just say a LOT of squid ink was involved) and they remember that the king said he would separate them forever if they ever did something on that large on the scale ever again. So the boys both agree to use this as a chance to run (err, swim?) away from home and stay on the surface world as humans and as far away from Krupp as possible for awhile. In the pandemonium they left behind, no one notices when they escape and head to the surface. And of course, in true CU fashion, security was too stupid to realize that a couple of kids tricked them and no one realizes that someone broke into the forbidden chambers for quite sometime.

When both George and Harold truly see the surface world for the first time its a lot to take in, but they both are overjoyed at what they see and they decide that the trouble they went through was worth it all. They value their hides, but they both don’t want their families to suffer so they decide to stay up on the surface world for a week at most. In the mean time they learn to adapt to being human pretty quickly, though its still an awkward process and both boys can’t shake off the feeling of how weird it feels to have legs instead of tails. That and they would need to ‘barrow’ some clothes because they are pretty sure humans wear them for a reason. Soon they are found by a boy and girl around their age who happen to be the adopted children of the king of the surface world. Both of them are child versions of the future wife of George and the future husband of Harold in this AU (and yes, these characters DO exist in the books and I think their confirmed names were Lisa and Billy), but for now they quickly befriend these strange boys who act like everything they see is completely new and they are excited about it all. They offer the two to stay in the castle and both George and Harold love it because everything is so opposite here compared to the world below–everyone loves kids, the king is a nice guy, and not only is there a lot of art and books at the castle, but creativity is actively encouraged in this kingdom. Even the school the prince and princess go to looks so much better than their old one! The boys feel like they can truly be themselves and they can get along with all these humans who fully support them and not only are they all impressed with their talents, but they offer access to anything in the library or in the court artist’s studio to help the two develop and thrive. Meanwhile the boys bond with their new friends. The prince is very studious and quiet, but he enjoys Harold and George’s shared sense of humor. The princess tries to act older than her age, but she finds their sense of humor just as funny and she’s able to break down her walls around the two, though maybe not as fast as her brother. It’s so much that its overwhelming. Could any of this be true? The boys want to stay up here forever, but they know deep down that they can’t and should they return home then everything must be kept a secret and any chance of going up ever again could be denied to them. Plus they still have moments of homesickness where they miss their families.

One of the humans the boys befriend is Edith, who works at the castle as one of the royal cooks. At first they are creeped out by her, due to her habit of popping out of nowhere at random and she comes across as rough and intimidating at first but they warm up to her after seeing that she’s actually gentle and sweet. She’s practically like an aunt towards the prince and princess and her cooking is pretty awesome too. Yes she’s a bit introverted, but she adores children, grows rather fond of George and Harold, and finds some of their antics pretty amusing.

Then one day Edith tells the boys that the kingdom by the sea is her birthplace and she never wanted to leave, but ten years ago she was forced to go to another town in order to complete her apprenticeship and develop her talents before she could find work and be able to support herself. Around that time though, there was a strange man she befriended who was like the boys–he too saw everything around him as if it were new and wonderful. She had no idea where he came from (and he didn’t seem to open to talking about himself), though their friendship got to a point where she began to develop feelings towards him and found herself falling in love, but since being social wasn’t her strong point she had no idea how to tell him and it was getting difficult to talk with him because of that. He seemed to eventually get that way too, but she had no idea if it was because he wanted to get away from her or if–dare she believe it–he felt the same way towards her as she did towards him.

One day, Edith told the man that she had to leave the kingdom and she tried her best to say that maybe they could try to visit each other or maybe she could just write to him if it was easier, but he seemed so upset for some reason and the next day he just vanished without saying a word to her. To this day Edith deeply regrets that she was unable to summon the courage to confess her true feelings to him before it was too late. “And I try not to think about him, but I’ve never felt same way towards anyone else like I did towards him.” She sighs in regret. “I still have a picture of us in that photo book I got, up above my bed. I don’t know why and maybe I should, but I can’t bring myself to just up and throw it away.” And she’s about to show them, but then she’s called away to take care of something and leaves the boys in her room. The boys aren’t that into romance but Harold is curious as to who this person was that stole and then broke Edith’s heart. So as he goes for the photo book, George says, “Why bother? It sounds like this jerk wasn’t worth her time to begin with,” and he begins to leave when he hears a gasp and turns around to see Harold staring at one of the pages in complete shock and looks pale white. “What, what is it?” George asks but Harold can’t bring himself to say anything, so George takes a look and when he sees what Harold sees, he has a similar reaction. They both recognize the man in the photo with Edith as they stand by the ocean. She’s ten years younger and trying to keep her (then much longer) hair out of her face as the wind blows into it while she’s giving the camera a small smile. The man that the boys recognize is also ten years younger in the image, yet he’s also clearly human and giving the camera an embarrassed grin that reveals a set of perfectly normal looking teeth. And he’s looking at Edith like she’s the whole world and in his eyes is a warmth and adoration neither of the boys had even seen from him in their entire lives. Its almost like he’s a completely different person than the one who seems to hate them so much. “Krupp?” George barely lets out as he feels the urge to collapse to the ground in a daze. “Is he... happy?!” Harold barely squeaks. “Like good happy and not scary happy?! I didn’t think that was physically possible!” Their king once came to the world above and even fell in love with a human? It seems too impossible to be a thing and yet the proof is right in front of their faces! If he hated the surface world so much, then why did something from it make him that happy?! It didn’t make any sense! Yet the boys later worry if Edith somehow connects to why Krupp hates the surface world.

So sometime later there’s a big festival out on the peer/boardwalk (there ALWAYS has to be a big event on the final day in any Little Mermaid inspired AU *laughs*) and the boys had agreed to go back home afterwards, but they are still conflicted about leaving their friends behind and they want to tell Edith the truth about her old crush, but they don’t know how. They want to explain to their friends as to why they must leave and tell the king of the surface kingdom why the ocean has had frequent storms in the last decade (which translates to ‘our king has a really bad temper that can affect the ocean on his REALLY bad days’) and why its not so easy to fish out there like it used to be, but they don’t know what could happen if they tell the truth. Around this time, both Harold’s mom and George’s parents have pleaded to Krupp to let them find their children and to please soften the punishment because they want their sons back. They can take the punishment themselves if they must, but they don’t want to lose their boys forever. It takes awhile to get through to him and, as predicted, they finally get angry and can’t put up with him anymore as they swear they will go out themselves if they have to, punishment and orders be damned because they’ve now lost any respect they have left to him. Krupp is still angry but a small something buried deep down within him comes forth and he finally has the whole kingdom to look for the troublesome boys, though he’s eager to have a few choice words with them the next time he has to see their faces. Then one of the merfolk find the boys out on the surface world as humans and hanging out with human children during the festival, but they make the not so bright decision to tell this to Krupp instead of the boys’ parents. This of course angers him to the point that its terrifying to behold (like, get the heck out of the area and the surrounding area around THAT area as fast as you can). His perfect order and control has nearly been completely shattered thanks to those two boys and he decides that after all that’s happened and how much trouble those two have been, he’s going up there to punish the boys himself. Everyone doesn’t know whether to be afraid for the boys or to be amazed that Krupp is actually going up to the surface after he was against it for so long.

Without any warning, a storm happens upon the ocean and the shoreline–thunder, dark clouds, stormy weathers and stormy seas, the whole sheebang–and everyone is scrambling to safety and to evacuate the area as fast as possible and get off the rides and out of the boats at the festival. Unfortunately this sudden and violent storm will go down as one of the worst storms within the last ten years, and no one is aware of this just yet. Both George and Harold have a bad feeling they know exactly why the storm is occurring and realize they need to leave, but then they see that both the prince and the princess are trapped on the docks when a part of it gets destroyed in the chaos. The two are ok, but the gap is too wide for them to make the jump, so the boys take a risk and hurry to their aid. All the while those who work at the castle are trying to locate the children, but especially Edith because she doesn’t want to keep losing those who are so close to her heart. The boys finally reach the royal siblings and they are both able to leap the gap since there’s some crates that are angled and stacked just right for them to get across, but there’s no way back and the waters are already too dangerous for humans to swim through. Even the best human swimmer could be swept out into the ocean or be pulled in until they drown. Both George and Harold agree they need to turn back in order to help their new friends and they tell them to hold on as tightly as they can to them. In turn the boys hold onto them, ready to jump into the water and swim as fast as possible. “Get ready to take a breath on the count of three,” George warns the princess and prince. “And hold on tight!” Harold warns. “One,” “Two,” George gulps as he braces himself as Harold opens his mouth, ready to say three when- “Oh boys,” The all too familiar voice growls in a low (almost sing like) tone that shakes George and Harold to their core. The anger that is barely contained in the voice sounds like could explode out at any moment and its more terrifying than a mere outburst of yelling. Slowly they turn around to face the very last person they ever wanted to encounter and it’s not a pretty sight. Their king who has control over the seas, is causing this storm, and has somehow found the two, is right behind them as he crawls up the docks and hoists himself up before the water raises him up to the point that he towers over them and barring his teeth in fury while looking like the scariest sea creature you could possibly imagine while a need to outright murder something is glinting in his narrow and rage filled eyes. Both boys are terrified as the prince and princess can only watch in horror at the monster before them, not realizing who he actually is. “So you thought it would be really funny to break my number one rule, turn yourselves into humans, and interact with the world above?” Krupp growls as he takes in the boys’ appearances and then notices the terrified human children they quickly try to shield. For one second this causes something to flash in his eyes as if this reminds him of something before his guard goes back up and he continues. “I set that rule up for a reason. I’ve had to put up with you two for far longer than I needed to and now you think its funny that you decided to pull this stunt off, make your parents worry, and force me to go after you?!” “Wait did you seriously just break your own rule?!” George realizes and both boys laugh despite themselves, which only gets Krupp more angry and a little embarrassed. “SHUT UP! YOU THINK I WANT TO BE UP HERE?!” He yells. “Humans don’t understand order or respect it! They get your hopes up, toy with your feelings, and give you pain! They create things that’ll only get destroyed by time! Neither world can be the same or co-exist like nothing bad could happen, so why do you insist on trying to be any part of one you don’t belong in?!” Its Harold who finally snaps and stands up to Krupp before George does. “And you would know because you did the same thing too?!” He demands and continues despite the increasing anger of the king. “Why are you so against it when you once liked it yourself? Why do you like making everyone so miserable?! What happened to make you into such a bitter, pathetic old-” “I DON’T HAVE TO ANSWER YOUR IDIOTIC QUESTIONS, YOU BOTH ARE COMING WITH ME AND I SWEAR YOU’LL WISH YOU’VE NEVER–!” “LEAVE THEM ALONE OR I’LL SHOOT, YOU MONSTER!” All eyes turn to see Edith on the other side of the gap, and even though the storm is getting worse, she is out on the docks with a harpoon gun aimed at the creature who she thinks is threatening the children. She’s terrified, yet none of the children have have seen her looking so brave or so determined. The strange monster-man hybrid threatening the children is almost intimidated, but also very annoyed and about ready to snap at the stupid human woman, but then he takes a closer look at her. In a split second, Krupp loses his anger and looks at Edith as if she were a ghost while it takes her a few seconds to see that–to her complete shock–she actually recognizes who he is, despite some pretty noteworthy physical changes. In the moment he sees her, Krupp is taken back to one of the few times he could recall ever being truly happy with the last person he felt any genuine affection towards and when he could still see the world with optimistic eyes. Back to a time before he realized that the world seemed to be out to give him constant grief no matter what he did and he had to sacrifice happiness for duty. Back before he was told that the girl he lost his heart to would never love him if he took her away from her world or if she learned the truth that she would be running away in fear. Back before he decided that if the world was going to keep being awful to him, then there was no point in feeling love or being optimistic anymore, so he had the human scientist cut out almost all his ability to feel those emotions and locked them away in a vessel so that he would never feel the pains of heartbreak or despair if things ever went horribly wrong ever again. Back before he made it so that he wouldn’t have to be reminded of the young woman or the surface world for what they had done to him ever again and to be able to have complete control over something that was within his power. Yet it looks like all that was to be denied to him as he watches the harpoon gun slip out of Edith’s trembling hands and into the water. The confusion and pain in those deep blue eyes (eyes he once wanted to get lost in forever and to caress the lovely face they belonged to) as she finally sees him for what he actually is and what he has become, which causes him to feel the pain he wanted so much to avoid and, for the first time in so long, he finds himself filled with overwhelming shame and regret. “Benjamin?” Edith half asks, half realizes in a lost sounding voice as she just stares at the person she never got the chance to confess her love to all those years ago.

Annnnnnd cliffhanger because I haven’t thought out everything yet. But yeah, that would be how it plays out.

So... I know I didn’t have a spot for CU himself in this AU, but if you want, then yeah it could be like when Ariel’s voice taken away, where all of Krupp’s good emotions were cut out and they took on the form of CU, who might also possess Krupp’s physical heart (sort of like a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: dead men’s chest’ or ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ thing), but he’s contained in a vessel like Ursula’s shell. Like maybe a certain important red ring. And I think it would be fitting that the boys are able to find the vessel at some point, whether it be hidden away or was taken by someone who has a grudge against both kingdoms. CU doesn’t have an actual body though, so he would be more like a spirit or something akin to the genie from Aladdin, but the catch is that only children who are genuinely good of heart and character can see him, which is partly why it was so hard to find the vessel within those ten years. The boys would be a little taken aback by almost how much CU looks like Krupp (if you want him to also have the shark teeth, they would be more rounded and less sharp looking) and yet how different he is in personality. CU would become immediately fond of the boys after they freed him, but he has no clue who or what he is. All he knows is that he doesn’t feel complete and he needs to be somewhere important, but has no clue where. He feels a pull towards the ocean but every time he tries to get in, it seems to force him out. (And also just to be more depressing, seeing Edith makes CU very happy for reasons he can’t understand. A lot of things give him joy and make him excited like he’s a child, but this one person invokes a feeling of strong adoration. But she can’t see or hear him and it also makes him sad for a reason he’s not so sure of.) CU promises that he will look out for the boys and protect them when they absolutely need him the most until he remembers what he needs to do and in the meantime he treats them as if he were like his own children or younger brothers (even if he acts like a child himself at times). And as much as the boys appreciate it, they start to wonder if MAYBE that infamous rumor is true because why is there someone who looks so much like the king that they hate and yet so opposite in personality that there’s almost no way he could have any connection to him? And if so, then who would want to do that to the king in the first place without trying to stop him or convince him out of it?

Any way, I don’t really want to be writing another multi-chapter Little Mermaid/Merfolk inspired AU fan fic again any time soon, but I’m open to answering questions about this AU I came up with.

#captain underpants #mermaid inspired au #I don't know what exactly to call it though #george beard #harold hutchins #mr. krupp #edith the lunch lady #weirdest thing for an au considering the source material #george and harold's future spouses are in this as children #seriously why did I come up with this?

email--fandoms and originals

Hi, my name is Coll! I’m a 29 year old lady with a full time standard 9-5 job. That said, I have some free time on my hands. I’d really love some new RPs. =D I’m very friendly and willing to plot. I mostly roleplay video games and original plots. A few things about me: - I am looking for people who play in the

third person and post multiple paragraphs in their responses.

(Please give me at least 3 paragraphs and I’ll be happy with that. Anything less and I get put out and most likely will not respond back to you out of disappointment ^^; Sorry.) I will also match my partner’s response length.

Also, please have a decent grasp of grammar and spelling. I won’t respond if you message me in all chatspeak. When you message me, also, please have an idea of what you want to do. “Hi, wanna RP?” is kind of unacceptable. Of course I want to roleplay–that’s why I put the add up.

- My hard limits are rape, vore, mpreg (good god no mpreg never ever mpreg), pedophilia, and a few others in between, but those are the big ones. If you ask for any of these four things, I will delete your post immediately. I don’t mind rape being mentioned in a backstory, but I won’t play it out. I’m not too keen on large age gaps unless we’re playing a supernatural creature with a human. They need to look about the same age. -

I don’t really care for unhealthy ships

. I don’t like cheating or abuse in relationships–that sort of stuff. I’m not about that life. - I

am a slash (both mxm and fxf) roleplayer. I will not tolerate seme/uke paradigms. You will play a switch or there will be no smut. There are only certain canon ships I’ll do mxf for. (like Lightning/adult!Hope or Tidus/Yuna for example.) I won’t do mxf for originals.

- I will only accept roleplayers who are

21+

. If I find out you’re under my age limit, I’m going to delete you immediately. - All kinks are based off of character preference, not my own. I’m also not really a kinky person. Sorry about that. - I like canonxoc for certain canons. If I play a canon for you, I expect you to play one for me. Compromise! Some ships I will not do canonxoc for. - I know this sounds like me being a hard ass, but I really like becoming friends with my partners and exchanging headcanons and songs!

- I roleplay through email only. No exceptions.

- I try to post every day. I really do. Sometimes, I’m just too tired to do so. ^^;;; Be patient with me. Weekends get hectic because I’m in a couple DnD campaigns. - Once the roleplay gets off the ground, I have skype. You can ask for it–but only after intros are exchanged. Every time I’ve given someone my skype before we started, the roleplay never got off the ground. - If for some reason I stop responding, I legitimately forgot. Just poke me. There are times when I’m at work and look at an email and forget to respond to it later because i thought I did. Well, if I haven’t scared you off, you can check out the rest! Contact:

[email protected]

Current cravings: Peronsa 5, Final Fantasy XV, Fire Emblem Fates, and the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That doesn’t mean I won’t do others!

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

. I can play Kyoko, Homura, and Mami. I can also do originals in the PMMM setting, gender bends, or Puer Magi. (Magical Boys.) Seriously, my kingdom for a PMMM roleplay. I’m also not opposed to mixing canons and originals!

Original

. Hit me up.

I am open to most things. If you want a something with a lot of smut, just let me know up front

I especially am big on gothic/fantasy/horror settings with magic, darkness, twisted fairy tales as inspiration, Alice in Wonderland kind of settings, surreal or Silent Hill/Fatal Frame esque thing. Definitely willing to look into maybe some mystery/eldritch horror thing

. I’m pretty flexible. Other stuff I’m into includes: steampunk, horror, creepypasta, victorian era, medieval/fantasy, modern/fantasy. I’ll give anything a shot and I’m sure I have a character for it or at the very least, can make one. It must have fantasy, by the way. I’m also a big fan of supernatural beingxhuman, or two different races mingling with each others. The only thing I’ll outright say no to is slice of life unless it’s monsters/supernatural creatures trying to live among humans. I’ll only accept mxm and fxf for original lines. Please note, I DO NOT play vampires or werewolves. I don’t mind roleplaying with them, but I personally do not like playing them. If you want to do a plot that is vampire or werewolf based, you have to play those species.

I’ll also take random intros for original! Just tell me the genre you’re sending me in the title or if you want platonic, mxm, or fxf! Please, if you send me a random intro, keep it to the genres listed or similar interests to this ad. I can’t guarantee I’ll be into the roleplay if you pick something I don’t advertise.

Fire Emblem Awakening.

I’ll die of happiness if you’d like to do m!tacticianxChrom. I’m looking for a Chrom. I can also play m!Morgan, Lucina, and a couple others. Let’s chat about it. I have a couple AU ideas, considering, well, you know how Fire Emblem is. There’s a war, let’s go fight the war!

Fire Emblem Fates. This, here, is what I’m craving the most.

I’ve played all three paths, but prefer Conquest and Revelation. I want to play Corrin. (Male.) and am open to ships. (As long as they’re mxm and fxf.) I’m mostly looking for a Xander (!!! Boy, I want Xander the most. Xander/Corrin happens to be my otp.), Leo (!!), Takumi (!), or Silas. I also ship Selena and Camilla. (I play Selena.) I like AUs and doubling, so I’m sure we can figure something out. I am also leokumi trash and can play either… though I’d rather do Corrin/Leo and Corrin/Takumi. I also like Sakura/Elise! (Slight preference toward Sakura.) I much prefer AUs and am willing to hash something out with you. No OCs for this. Sorry.

Persona

. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do a Persona or Persona based roleplay!. My favorite pairing for Persona is Yu/Souji/ProtagonistxYosuke. I play Yosuke. I am seriously craving another Yu/Yosuke roleplay like woah. We can discuss this. I also REALLY like the idea of the P3 Female Protagonist/MinakoxMitsuru. I’d be playing the female protagonist. We can also do a whole new Persona group, too.

Addendum

: Just finished Persona 5, am interested in playing Akira–or maybe we could do our own team of Phantom Thieves? Really dig the concept. I do like Akira/Yusuke and Ann/Makoto–will play Akira and Makoto. I am also interested in an Akechi redemption line, but I won’t pair him with Akira. Others I can play are Futaba and Haru. I’d also like to do something with

Black Butler

. I’d like to play a male oc against Ciel If you play Ciel for me, I’ll play Elizabeth for you in a fxf line or I will also consider playing Sebastian for your oc, but I’m VERY picky on this because Sebastian is a vainglorious bastard who needs entertainment. So! Try me, just don’t say I didn’t warn you if I tell you no. I also have a demon, if you want to play a contractor in an all original variation. (Note: my demon will not be your character’s butler. He laughs at the very idea. He can change his gender, so he can be a she.)

*Please note, that sebciel is a GIANT NOTP of mine, so don’t even ask for it.

Tales of.

The first thing I’m looking for is a Sorey to my Mikleo. My kingdom for these two babies who are too pure for this world. The second thing I’m looking for a Richard to my Asbel and kinda have some vague ideas for this! I also roleplay Tales of cross overs and have a vague idea for that, too. I would also love a Gaius for my Wingul. Can discuss other Tales pairings, will be fine with ocs if you’ll afford me the same. I’ve played all of the Tales of games released in the US EXCEPT for Eternia and Vesperia. That doesn’t mean you can’t play these characters! I’m totally down for Asch/OC and will try and accommodate you as well. I also recently bought Tales of Berseria. I’m only about 40ish hours into it, so no spoilers!

The World Ends With You

. I play Josh. Mostly looking for a Neku or whomever you want to throw at me. I’d prefer AUs (kind of have a basic idea for one) or post-game. Please, for the love of all things holy, do not play Neku as a weak willed little thing who won’t tell Josh to go eff himself if he doesn’t like what Josh is doing. We can also do a whole new Game with all ocs.

The Legend of Zelda.

I’m looking for a Link and am looking to do a brand new Zelda roleplay where we split the cast and have fun times~! I have a male oc. There doesn’t need to be romance, but I would like there to be. I can play Ravio, Zelda, humanized Sidon, Revali (maybe), or Midna for one of your ocs, if you’d like. With Breath of the Wild out, I’d be happy to do something similar to that, too.

Devil Survivor 2

. I want to play the main character (Hibiki/Hiro/MC) against a Yamato LIKE BURNING Also, Shin Megami Tensei IV, I’d love a Flynn/Walter chaos route roleplay where I play Flynn.

Kingdom Hearts

. I kind of want to do an all-original setting with new Keyblade wielders, new villains and everything. We’d each play a keyblade wielder or something and fill out the cast. If you’re not up for that, I do love SoraxRiku–I’ll be playing Sora. (I love this ship with my whole heart.)

Final Fantasy

. I’m cool with most things here. Some characters I play are Lightning (my favorite), Cecil Harvey, Yuna, Cloud Strife, Kadaj, Vanille, Terra Branford, Garnet til Alexandros/Dagger, Bartz, Faris, Noel Kreiss, Ramza (Tactics), and some others here and there. Some of the ships I play are Lightning/adult!Hope (I play Lightning and have some au ideas for this), Zack/Cloud (I play Cloud), Tidus/Yuna (I play Yuna), Fang/Vanille (I play Vanille. I’ll also play Fang/Lightning), Zidane/Garnet, Cecil/Kain (Cecil) etc. There are others. I’ve played almost every Final Fantasy except the online ones, so just ask. There are a few canons I play that I’ll pair with ocs, like Noel Kreiss for example. This is probably the only place you’ll catch me for mxf. I would really love a Ramza for one of my ocs as well? Like I said, I’ll play certain canons for you, too! … or maybe just something with Final Fantasy Tactics in general.

Addendum

: I just finished

FFXV

and would love to try out being Noctis–looking for Gladio, Ignis, or Prompto–or a mix of all four. We can discuss but my favorite ship is

IgNoct. Will be happy to do Promptis or GladNoct, too.

Bravely Default/Bravely Second.

Ringabel/Edea, otp for life. I’d like to play Edea. Also willing to consider Tiz/Agnes (Tiz.) or Yew/Magnolia. (Magnolia.) Prefer an AU for this. I won’t do this genre without Ringabel/Edea, though, keep that in mind.

Parasite Eve.

Does anyone even know what this is? We can discuss–ocs, canons, I’m sure we can figure something out.

Pokemon

. I have a male Elite Four trainer I’d like to use against any character. I have a couple other trainers here and there. Why not, bring it on. If you want romance, it has to be m/m for this. I don’t mind gijinkas or whatever they’re called. I also beat Sun/Moon! So we can do some Alola stuff! Maybe a plot with the Ultra Beasts? Neaaaat.

Ace Attorney.

Okay, okay. I only do canon/oc for this one, fam. I’ve also only played the first three games and Ace Attorney Investigations. I’m looking for a Miles Edgeworth to my male oc and for you, I can play Franziska von Karma for fxf. Might be talked into playing Phoenix Wright for you, depending on your oc.

ATLA

. I have a male earth bending oc (with a spirit pal who follows him) that I’ll do mxm with. I’m really up for anything here, except LoK verse since he doesn’t seem to fit in there so well. Canons? OCs? Sure, whatever. I’ll leave it open. You wanna test a new OC or practice a canon against him? Cool. There are also a few fandoms that I play, but only with an oc cast such as:

Dead Space, Gravity Rush, Fatal Frame, Etrian Odyssey, and Silent Hill. Note: for Silent Hill, I will NOT be playing romance.

As for

Silent Hill

… I’m up for putting canons in a Silent Hill verse as well as using originals. The same goes for

The Last of Us

. Canons in a TLOU universe could be fun. Same with ocs. I’m a little out of touch with this, though. It’s been a while. Maybe something based on

Transistor

? Or

YoKai Watch

Yomawari Night Alone

? Hey, maybe some creepy Japanese horror with a haunted town in the vein of Yomawari? Suggest! If it’s along the lines of what’s mentioned above, then by all means. Other fandoms are:

Okami

(Human form!Amaterasu), a 999/Zero Escape based roleplay,

Demon Gaze, Dragon’s Crown, Animal Crossing

(humanized villagers), and more. Seriously, just ask. Ask away. I know some older animes but video games? I most likely know it, especially if it’s an RPG. I’m also a fan of AUs. Again, if any of this interests you, mail me at
