One of my favorite "identity / secret" reveal situations I've ever read in a book series was when the "orphan" protagonist had been kidnapped and the kidnappers were trying to ransom him to this guy he'd only heard of in passing before. And it was a relatively serious scene, but in humorous summary, it went a little like this:

Kidnappers: "We have your son."

Some Guy: "I don't have a son."

Kidnappers: "..."

Protagonist: "..."

Some Guy: "Wait, let me call my ex."

fainting goat hybrid!ghost whose father and brother loved to scare him and make him faint; exploiting a weakness he didn’t understand and didn’t know how to stop. they took sadistic pleasure in watching his body lock up and fall to the ground with no hope of catching himself until he ended up with more bruises and scrapes from falling than from being beaten

that helplessness chafed at him and he forced himself through the drawbacks of his biology to secure a place in the military, even with the prejudice against prey animals. just for him to take a mission in mexico and find himself enduring the “hospitality” of roba who thinks his involuntary paralysis is a great deal of fun; especially when he learns he’s conscious the whole time

what haunts ghost most is his waking autopsy

not the pain of the incisions, not the trauma of watching roba reach into his body and play with his insides, but the knowledge that he couldn't get away because his own body betrayed him. he wasn't put under, no drugs coursed through his system. he didn’t have restraints fitted on him to lock him to the operating table. it wasn’t necessary

roba just had to make him faint first

after digging himself out of his grave, ghost puts himself on a dangerous cocktail of muscle relaxers and other medications; hormones that block hybrid instincts, vasodilators to increase blood flow and stop his muscles locking up, anti-anxiety meds to cut off his surprise response at the root. he puts his body through the wringer to the point that medical is constantly worried for his health and shocked that he isn't regularly OD’ing

but he will never let his body betray him again

i'm approaching my 70th star wars fic on ao3 (incredible amazing mind boggling ive been doing this for forever and also only three years) and i thought that it would be really fun to do something i haven't done yet: a fic giveaway!!

i've created this google form to collect prompts/scenarios that you would like to see me write and am asking for no more than 2 from one person (though i do remember the rampant cheating of google form responses for the christmas fic debacle of 2022 🤨)

they can be as vague as "stewjoni obi-wan, any rating, no DNWs" or as specific as "stewjon is a living and breathing haunted house!planet and when obi-wan and anakin crash land on it, it has no intention of letting one of its own go again. not when its child has been so kind as to return to its lands. rating: M preferred, DNW: cannibalism, married anidala, any fucking mention of the fucking ocean i'm fucking serious kit"

the form will close august 30 and i'll randomly select a prompt to complete on the 31st!! the fic is going to be a one shot, from 5k-15k words and i'm aiming to have it be published in time to be my 70th star wars fic (so, published before my big bang fic, probably around end of november)

let me know if you have any questions!! this is NOT a commission or anything - no money will be made from this and it is not expected at all. just something fun i really wanna try if you guys want to try it too!

my personal pipe dream is that one monday the egg statistics drop and flippa (and maybe tilin) are just there. at the end. with one heart, and one gray checkmark.

what i imagine is the server flips their shit. alive!!! alive!!! but they log in and they don't see the eggs. instead they get a message. i do not care who it's from or how it's delivered. they're told the eggs are being held captive somewhere, but they're alive. all that's left is to find them, before sunday at midnight pst. bc if their tasks aren't done, they die (one checkmark, one quest set. once rescued they become triple check like the other eggs)

slimeriana come CRASHING back into the server, they don't know jack shit, ESPECIALLY mariana who doesn't recognize 90% of the island anymore but holy fuck, flippa is alive somewhere and they have to find her. and maybe mariana's still in the old server days mindset of raising his kid alone but slime's slowly been indoctrinated into "it takes a village" and honestly the absolute second mariana logs on, someone's gonna be in chat already like HEY MARIANA CAN I TALK TO YOU? be it baghera or cellbit or forever or bad or I DON'T KNOW, COULD GENUINELY BE ANYONE LMAO but like mystery and eggs in danger is chumming the water for this server

which is great bc A) mariana has a concrete goal for logging into the server (finding his daughter) and B) he would be interacting with the rest of the server along the way, because he's not going to be doing this alone (he wouldn't even be allowed lmfao the rest of the server would be at his doorstep asking to help him in like 15 seconds flat) which means C) he might get reasons to log in extending outside flippa and slime. bingooooo

i call this a pipe dream bc i can poke so many holes in this even rn (does cc!mariana want flippa back, like fr? i'm not up to date) but can you IMAGINE. LIKE DAMN. i'm putting this idea into the public domain fr go nuts with it.

Irondad fic ideas #149

Pepper and Tony know each other and date in high school or college, and they get pregnant. They decide to give the baby up for adoption (mostly because of pressure from Tony’s parents who just want them to not have the baby at all) and the whole thing is really sad for both of them so they end up breaking up.

Years later, Tony and Pepper find each other again and it turns out Pepper kept their baby boy, Peter

raksura for the ask meme?

YAY

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) moon was designed in a lab to appeal to me personally, so. it's about the trust issues!

scrunkly (my "baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) the sky copper clutch!! traumatized children imprinting on a guy with baby fever is usually what i go to fanfic for so to have it right there in canon? incredible. i love all of frost's little tantrums and idk, just the way that she claims moon as her family in a way that has nothing to do with court politics? she's like, we're your clutch, obviously. and this is our court because it's your court, and all the other jabronis who live here are on thin ice. she's ready to throw down with moon's wife/the government at all hours of the day and she's like six years old. i love that moon has that energy in his life even though he personally is pretty confused and exhausted by it lol.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) it's hard out here for an ember stan because he is in so few scenes relative to the space he occupies in my psyche! i need 5000% more interactions between him and moon. him and stone. him and shade. him and river. him and the teachers. him and the clutches. him and jade and balm and chime. oh my god him and malachite? him and celadon? him and delin??

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) niran. i'm always up for a "longsuffering ship captain resigns himself to another restless night of hearing gigantic shapeshifters with incredible stamina fuck nasty on the roof of his cabin" moment. technically i have never been in that exact situation, but i feel like i can relate.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) river who is CLASSIC poor little meow meow territory like yes his whole personality is being a grade A asshole and sure he tries to kill my blorbo a few times, but once you get to know him he's so sad and pathetic that i'm kind of like okay where can i sign up to defend him from the largely factual aspersions of his dozens of quite frankly justified haters? he'd hate that. the good shit 👌

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) stone. every time he crankily says "why did i ever reproduce" upon finding himself entangled in yet another ridiculous clusterfuck thanks to one of his hundreds of idiot great-great-great-great-great grandchildren, an angel gets its wings. he's depressed and antisocial but he can't totally check out because he has to mediate relationship issues between his dumbass relatives. love that for him.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) malachite but specifically because malachite would not be scared of superhell. she'd skulk around being invisible, maybe fuck some shit up if she felt like it, and leave when she got bored. she probably makes it like. opal night's sister city or something. and nobody in the court is at all phased. yeah that's our reigning queen who recently got back from vacation in superhell. she does that. she says it's relaxing.

I have to write a relatively long German paper, and man its just so difficult for me. The pro side is that I can pick any topic I want, so of course I picked Charles VI. But I've literally not written any German in months, and I'm almost 100% sure our prof doesn't actually read them. I should just write and submit boy king fic....

Petrification fic idea

I'm officially dropping this plot bunny off at @twibunny because it's been pinging around in my brain for years and I'm no closer to writing it. If anybody wants to adopt please go for it!

Basically it's a fic in which some vampires start to petrify. They start to lose their speed first, then more motor skills as their bodies stiffen up. Gifted vampires start losing control over their gifts (or the gifts go haywire, whichever is more fun). Finally they lose the ability to speak and move and they essentially become frozen statues. Even their thoughts and emotions slip away, as confirmed by Edward and Jasper.

Alice is the first one to go, followed by Jasper. This leads the Cullens to think this is some form of gifted attack, like maybe the enemy is neutralizing the gifted coven members first. Bella and Edward are scared they will be next, but nothing happens.

Then Demetri shows up on their doorstep, and he's barely able to walk because he's petrifying too. He says the Volturi have declared martial law and that Carlisle has been summoned to Volterra to help solve the mystery of why so many vampires are "dying."

The reality is that no one knows whether the affected vampires are alive or dead. Some have been burned and others are being watched over by family/coven members. Afraid to break up the family, all the Cullens agree to go to Volterra and they bring Alice and Jasper's bodies along too.

After examining the data, Carlisle and Aro and my OC vampire doc Amin come to the conclusion that the "disease" can be traced through venomlines. In other words, only the "descendants" of certain vampires are petrifying. Carlisle and all his creations (and his creator too, and so on) are safe, and same for Aro. For now, at least.

Well, that's where I always get stuck--why is the disease suddenly "activating" in certain venomlines and not in others? Feel free to adopt this idea and change whatever you want! (I imagine this taking place post-canon, but whatever you want.)

no.stop. not allowed to have anymore titles with water themes in them!!!!! Dammit kit way to difficult to remember which is which now. U stop that. For fucks sake. Use another element. At minimum there's 3 more. LAVA! THUNDER! EARTHQUAKE! anything but tides or waves or

literally this could be a “kit to kit” message because I have thought the same thing I really have

and I spent a lot of time thinking about like. ash and fire and being burned for the hunger games au fic and I liked some of them ok but I just feel like that’s too harsh — anakin does love obi-wan, he’s not just a fire. And having a title centered on ash sort of implies one has been destroyed unwillingly in the passion of the other.

having a title like what the Google doc is currently named (NOT final but 8/10s of the way final) “running through your riptide” implies like “I know you’re dangerous and I know you can kill me. But I’m there. I’m willingly putting myself in your path and I may die for it” which feels more like obikin in hunger games au

Was thinking about the Mars rover Curiosity and it spiraled from there, so I present to you: I almost made myself cry :)

Before the Avengers went to go and fight Thanos, Tony took some time to implement some tiny features into his robots. For example, he coded DUM-E so that he'd do the little 8-bit happy birthday song on his most beloved's birthdays in case he never made it home. Morgan's, Pepper's, Rhodey's, Happy's and, of course, Peter's. Fast forward (think, post-nwh), Tony is still in his coma post-snap (I know no death here) and Pepper is cleaning his workshop as a nervous habit. Then, DUM-E starts to sing. A calm and slow playthrough of 'Happy Birthday', and she lets it play out in confusion. Then, a hologram of Tony pops up, and he says, with the utmost adoration, "Happy birthday, Pete. 'm proud of you, Underoos." And Pepper stands in the utmost of confusion because... Who is Pete?

Fabulous outstanding excellent !!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
