#so i'm excited to see what happens in and after issue 67 with surge and kit joining the restoration

[t4tsurge]

i really like the idea of tailsunami (platonic or romantic idc but i love the name for their dynamic) bc i think in a way befriending tails IS a way of healing for kit. as of the latest issue, while yes kit is looking for people to be codependent with, i think it’s interesting how notably he seeks out “powerful people” (sonic), and then later when he sees tails with sonic he says to sonic “why would you need me when you have him.” i think he doesn’t really see tails as “legitimate” in a way bc he thinks they fill the same “sidekick” role and as such don’t matter outside of it. and so kit later on connecting with and caring about tails- while def will cause codependency issues like every one of kit’s relationships- has the potential to be healing in a fundamental way. anyway i love ur thoughts and would love to hear them if u want, but no pressure!!

I have been thinking all weekend about Tails and Kit actually getting to sit down and have a conservation about the whole sidekick thing because this is so true. To Kit, a sidekick is a tool, someone that the much stronger hero uses to further their own goals. And so when he sees Tails and realizes that him and Sonic are equals, partners even, it shakes him up a bit. Sonic and Tails don't need each other in the same way that Surge and Kit do, and I think understanding the difference would be really healing for Kit.

Serendipitous Souls (Part 1)

Summary: Reader is a fan of the Supernatural series. Suddenly, she's sucked into her favorite show, and an arranged marriage to one of her favorite characters by none other than Chuck himself.

Characters: Dean x OC!Reader, Sam, Chuck

Warnings: Angst, Fluff, Arranged Marriage, Chuck's an ass, Injury to Sam, Manipulation

Word Count: 1,128

A/N: Okay, here we go! Another new series. This one is pure indulgence, for me at least. Fluff, Smut, DRAMA. It's lighthearted and fun all the way through.

Dean just stared at Chuck. He couldn't believe what just came out of the deity's mouth.

"You can't be serious," Dean managed to choke out, his utter shock making his brain take a minute to catch up.

"Oh, I'm deadly serious," Chuck replied with a steady gaze.

"And if I refuse?" Dean knew he wouldn't like the answer, but he had to ask anyway.

Chuck shrugged as if he couldn't care less, "Then I'll take it out on Sam," he stated simply. His gaze turned to the man in question before he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Sam groaned in pain, dropping to his knees as he clutched his stomach. Blood began to drip from his mouth and Sam snapped his gaze to his brother, pleading.

"Okay, okay, enough," Dean shouted and Chuck snapped his fingers once more, stopping Sam's pain but not yet healing him or releasing him from his ire.

"You'll do it?" Chuck checked.

"Yeah," Dean sighed, "Yeah, yes, okay? I'll do it. Just…leave Sam alone." Dean begged broken-heartedly.

"Wonderful!" Chuck exclaimed, slapping his hands together for emphasis. The deity grinned triumphantly before snapping his fingers. In a blink, a woman was standing amongst them in the Bunker's War Room. Dean watched as her face morphed from confusion, to shock, to…recognition?…then to utter fear.

"W-what's happening?" her voice trembled out and Dean's heart broke for this stranger whose life was about to be changed - and ruined - forever.

"Well, Y/N," Chuck began explaining, turning to her with an easy smile, "What's happening is that you're Dean's soulmate and I purposefully put you into another universe so you'd never be an issue. But now I'm bringing you back because I want a juicy story." he paused and waited for the information to sink in.

"So," he said, clapping his hands together once more, "Are we ready to do this?"

"Do what?" Y/N demanded in a high-pitched, panicked tone.

"Arranged marriage, soul binding, consummation," Chuck checked off on his fingers then shrugged, "Standard cosmic ritual to bond soulmates," he explained as if it were common knowledge before turning his attention to Dean, "Uh, it will be fruitful," he insinuated, "Soulmates always are," he said vaguely. Y/N watched as Dean seemed to realize something important that she was missing. She wasn't sure she was really truly understanding any of it. It was ridiculous!

"You can't force me to…to-" Y/N stammered as her brain caught up to everything.

"Uh, I can and am," Chuck emphasized, "Besides, you're a fangirl. You know you want it."

"No, I refuse!"

"You can't," Dean pleaded, swallowing hard and approaching to stand in front of Y/N, "He'll torture and kill my brother if we don't."

Y/N's eyes flashed over to Sam. She could see he looked drained and injured. She wasn't sure what was done to him though. She looked back at Dean, into his startling gaze, and her breath stuttered as she took in a sharp intake.

"This is insane," she practically pleaded with Dean in a whisper.

"I know," he nodded, casting a side-glance at Chuck before returning his gaze to hers, "I know it is. And I will take all the time you need to explain it and help you through this. I am truly sorry for what's happening," he paused, licking his lips, "but it has to happen."

"Let's get on with it," Chuck announced. Dean sighed and clasped each of Y/N's hands in his own as they faced each other. He tried to remain calm, his gaze steady on her, to guide her through it. He knew she was overwhelmed, just by looking at her. And Chuck had explained a bit about her before bringing her here.

A small part of Dean was excited. Excited to have a soulmate. Excited for what that would mean. Excited for the fairytale romance and rom-com experiences it all could bring.

Mostly though he felt guilty…and terrified.

Terrified for her, terrified for himself, terrified of everything.

"Dean," Chuck began, acting as officiant. And really, who better than God, Himself, to do so, "Repeat after me. I, Dean Winchester-"

"I, Dean Winchester," Dean began with a heavy sigh, holding his gaze on Y/N and comfortingly tightening his hold on her hands, trying to keep them both steady.

"Bind myself to you for eternity-"

"-bind myself to you for eternity-"

"I am yours as you are mine-"

"-I am yours as you are mine-"

"-come whatever may."

"-come whatever may."

Chuck smiled and Dean swayed on his feet slightly as he felt a powerful surge go through him. Chuck turned to Y/N then.

"Y/N, repeat after me. I, Y/N Y/L/N-"

"I-" Y/N tried. Her body was trembling and she looked between Chuck and Dean with fearful eyes full of tears, "I-I…can't," she sobbed out, shaking her head and trying to pull from Dean's grasp unsuccessfully.

"Y/N, please," Dean pleaded with her. Chuck rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers. Sam once again began to cry out in pain, clutching himself tightly as blood oozed forth from his lips, leaving a choked and strangled sound to gurgle from his throat. "Please!"

"Oh God," she cried out, tears falling as she witnessed the torment of Sam, "Oh…okay, okay," she said to herself, trying to gather her strength. It was too much to wrap her head around, but she knew Sam Winchester - one of her most favorite tragic heroes - was suffering because she was scared. WWWD?

What would the Winchesters do?

She gathered her strength and repeated the words Chuck asked of her. As soon as she finished, she too felt the powerful surge. She looked up to Dean with awe and he gave her a small reassuring twitch of a smile. Their attention was quickly drawn to their own left ring fingers, seeing rings materialize. They were simple bands, matching. A white gold band with yellow gold stripes along each edge, and a large W engraved in the white gold, filled in with yellow gold to stand out.

"Now you may kiss to seal the bond," Chuck smiled, looking between the pair. Dean's eyes met Y/N's and he let out a slow, steady breath as he leaned in, simultaneously pulling her towards him by the hands. His lips met hers and his eyes fluttered closed. That powerful surge returned, this time as a strong ache in his chest that blossomed outwards to the tips of his fingers and toes. In that moment he knew - she was his, and he was hers.

He slowly pulled away from the gentle and chaste kiss, his eyes fluttering open to meet hers.

"You have until midnight tonight to consummate the bond," Chuck stated, drawing the attention of the pair from each other to him, before he disappeared a moment later.
