Saying goodbye to Steve was never going to be an easy thing.

Eddie had known that even before he'd agreed to go on the college tour with Steve and Robin, when he'd agreed to look at dorm rooms and apartments with them.

There had been weeks of listening to the two of them make plans about what they would do in the city. There would be new coffee places, bars, classes where they would meet people who would get to know the two of them— get to know Steve— in a way that Eddie never would.

It hit him the hardest on the mornings when he was the only one still awake, when Steve was passed out in the passenger seat, the sun warming his face and bringing out the golden shades of his hair. At least Eddie got to see him like this. He wouldn't get to see Steve in a little cafe in Seattle, but he got to see the golden boy drooling onto his own shoulder and hear the little breathy sounds he let out when they hit a bump in the road.

This was temporary, Eddie had known that from the beginning. At least now there was an entire catalogue of moments from the summer that felt so small and inconsequential— Steve and Robin throwing gummy worms at each other, Steve sitting on the hood of the car while they ate greasy diner food, Steve starfished out on one of the motel beds with his face smushed into a pillow and his glasses pushed up into his hair— tucked away in the back of his mind, hidden in the darkest corners to be pulled out when he needed to feel warm again.

It was their last night together, and Eddie found that he was having to pull those moments out now, as he stood smoking and watching the dying light of the sun.

There was Steve, stripped down to his underwear, running towards a lake with Robin following after him. Steve, laying on the ground on one of Eddie's t-shirts, letting the sun dry him off.

Steve, tucked close into his side in the backseat while Robin was the one behind the wheel. They had touched from shoulders to knees, and Steve's fingers had settled warm and heavy against his arm. Eddie pictured the way Steve had breathed out as he'd drifted off to sleep, and he let the smoke pass through his own lips in time with the memory of Steve's breathing.

It had startled him at one point, how many of these cherished memories were of Steve sleeping, but that that was the only time he could look his fill. He could let his guard down and didn't have to worry about how much of his heart he wore on his sleeve. It was one thing to joke, to make big boy comments and shoot little winks at each other when Steve was awake. It was another beast entirely to stare in a way that he knew could only be described as wanting.

"He wants you to stay with us, you know."

My mind went a different way with the "Lilia finds you in a puddle of your own blood" prompt. Like... a Beauty and the Beast way haha. A beast with children- they could either be young or canon age so let's go with canon.

He's making an errand run in the village and also takes a stroll in the outskirts to make sure there's nothing troublesome in the area. Thats where he finds you in your own blood, off a beaten path where likely nobody would look for you. He doesn't know what happened, but you don't look like the type of person who deserves to die on the side of a road. So he takes you home with him to fix you up (with magic fae stuff idk). You're brought to the castle they live in, avoided by everyone in the area, and are put in an extravagant guest room where you're tended to. It takes three days for you to wake up. The first person you meet is Silver coming to check up on you. You don't recall what happened to you so Sipver explains how his father found you and healed you. The young man is so kind and gentle, you imagine his father must be the same way. You can't thank him personally yet, though, because he's gone further away for some supplies not avaliable in the village. Silver is the one who brings you meals and such, although a couple of times it's been Sebek, who yells at you that you'd better not be trouble and to be grateful for Lilia. You don't meet Malleus until you can leave your bed. You run into him in the castle- this strangely large but empty castle, housing only 4 men and is cleaned using magic. He's kind like Silver but with a hint of mischief. He gives you a tour and keeps you entertained. While he doesn't seem to actively seek you out, he does appear before you routinely an hour after you leave your room and seems reluctant to leave your side.

A week later is when Lilia returns. He's glad to hear you're up and out of bed. But you freeze when you lay your eyes on him. You know him. You've seen him before. You and a friend had stayed out a little too late one night and you caught a glimpse of him in the moonlight. Deadly fierce as he pushed his sword through a monstrous beast's chest. You didn't know WHO he was, but you knew he was dangerous and didn't want to be on the wrong end of his ire. And now you're in his castle with his sons. But...the personality he's showing is the exact opposite of what you saw that night. He's lively and funny and....weird in an endearing way. You thought your heart would race from fright but instead its racing for reasons you don't yet want to admit. And you forget that you could go home at this point, but instead you're fitting into this family's life so seamlessly and now....you don't want to leave. You want to watch Sebek and Silver bicker and have Malleus explain his favorite gargoyles to you. You want to cook a fsmily supper for everyone and enjoy evenings by the fire as everyone relaxes before bed. You want Lilia to take his spooks on you a step further...to kabedon you against the wall, to have you feed him a spoonful of soup you're in the middle of cooking, to share a bedroom with him....but is that even something he wants or would ever want? Are you a guest to him? A friend? A .... daughter? You want to be none of those things, but what right do you have to want that? After only a month or two, to be a permanent member of this family you hadn't know had even existed before.

((And later on, when you accompany Lilia into the village, you run into a big and burley man. And you remember what had happened that night Lilia found you. He'd been upset with you- you hadn't expected him to be so upset that he chased you into the woods and brandished a knife and....and did that to you. Lilia can tell instantly how you change and pulls you away from the man. He can tell that that man is the one responsible for you almost losing your life that night. It doesn't matter if you've remembered or not- your body does, and now that he knows who did that to you....he'll have to pay him a visit later that night, when the man is leaving the tavern and stumbling to a tree to relieve himself.))

-Fake Date Sebek Anon 😘

[referencing this post]

Hello Fake Date Sebek Anonie 🌷💚💞

I love how that post just went in all different directions in the reblogs lolol love it. 💞💞

Also Anonie, *grabs you* I need that sebek dating fic continued 😭 pleeaassseee 🙏🙏🙏

I love the beauty and the beast route this went. So wholesome and domestically cute 💞💞

To be kabedoned by Lilia and those domestic moments?? It’s a NEED not a want at this point. It’s a “it’s part of my survival and happiness” tier. Lilia please 🙏🙏

Time for the sons and sebek to play match maker 🤧🫶

Lilia could tell right away that something is wrong. Your trembling form and hitched breath gives it away. The way the man eyes you both tells him all he needs to know.

First he’s going to get you away from him, calm you down before you get into a panic attack.

All the while, he’s planning his nightly hunt. He’s a beast after all and the full moon will be here soon. It’s been awhile since he’s stretched his wings and let his claws out.

For now though, he’s taking you home where you can be at peace with him and the boys.

Ok funny idea....y/n enters cookie world, has read the stories so they know what's coming with cookies fighting over em and stuff and decides "you know what, before surrendering myself to the cookies...I'm gonna go on a world tour!"

And then they tour the world like a freaking tourist...with a cute little camera and everything...not realizing the cookies are secretly following y/n from place to place...kingdom to kingdom...to slightly influence the trip so y/n has best time and keep them safe+happy....aaaaand possibly make y/n go to where they live lol. Think it would be funny!

Y/n: YEY! ROADTRIP! I'm gonna take pictures of everything!

Enjoy the milkshake! I find this concept very chill! I just wrote a basic concept for this

Road Trip Time!

-platonic-

Falling into this world like an isaki protagonist wasn’t a pleasant experience, but after reading and watching so many things like this, you knew it was a matter of time before the inhabitants were treating you like royal just to get into your good graces.

So why not explore this world of sugary delight and have a road trip around this world?

—————————————

The first time cookies see you they are quite confused, why is there a cookie in the Hollyberry Kingdom with a tourist outfit?! Well no one knows but they do know that you are very clueless…

This has caught the attention of a group of cookies… they have called themselves The Tourist Disciples. Now you are very unaware of this, most are, but the groups one main goal is to make sure you have the best road trip of all time!

Now the Hollyberry Kingdom was your first place to visit and man was it cool! The architecture was beautiful and all the berry’s were tasty! Now you have no clue why everyone was talking about a dragon. You never saw one in the kingdom.

Your next place to visit was the Dark Cacao Kingdom! Or well.. one of the villages.

To the luck of the disciples the kingdom was very closed of so you couldn’t get involved with any sort of drama that was there. Maybe next time you’ll get to go inside the kingdom..

Throughout the time you’re traveling around the disciples manipulate the situation to where you aren’t in danger! Now that changes when you travel to Beast Yeast…

Up until this point, cookies who had lots of power in the world had no clue you existed but now that there are beasts… the disciples have to be extra careful if they want to keep you away from the beasts…

One wrong move and you are going to be in trouble…

Now here’s some art of tourist Y/N Cookie :3

i love the thought of copia getting new ghouls gifts, kind of like starter kits for being on the surface. there'd probably be basics like toothbrushes and soap, but also little treats like candy and a travel blanket for when the band hits the road.

Copia 100% spoils his ghouls. It's already apparent that he has a soft spot for them all and his habit of indulging them gets even worse when they are freshly summoned.

He definitely spends weeks before the planned ritual making up little kits for his new ghouls with everything he thinks they might need for their first few weeks topside. Once they are more acclimated (and can glamour) he happily will take them out to choose their own things, but everyone starts with his premade kits.

They contain basics like toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo and other essentials, but he likes to personalise them to each ghoul even though he doesn't personally know the ghoul it's destined for yet. Each ghoul gets their own selected colour and animal to help Copia keep track of their basics especially while on tour. The ghouls tend to keep their assigned animal and colour the whole time they are topside, although they are obviously allowed things outside of those colours and animals.

The kits always contain a blanket and a stuffed animal. Being summoned is very stressful for a ghoul, especially if it's their first-time topside, so Copia has found providing them with these little items of comfort can help ease them in the transition. There are also more specific items based on what type of ghoul the summoning is planned for.

For water ghouls, he includes rock salt. Most water ghouls come from the pit's oceans and settle much easier on the surface if provided with salt water to help settle them. For Earth ghouls, he will always provide some sort of plant so they are still able to connect with their element while getting used to being indoors.

He's even made kits for the old band ghouls, hoping to provide them some comfort while they get used to being masterless. Copia puts so much thought into every starter pack and gift he makes for the ghouls because he adores his little hell beasts and only wants the best for them.

All My Roads Lead Back to You Part 1

Hello, my beautiful readers! I should be working on “If I Rescue You, Will You Rescue Me, Too?” and that was the intent yesterday I swear. But I wanted to sit down and flesh out the first part of my “Eddie and Steve reconnect after years apart because their kids are in a rock band together AU”. Only I went from 680 words to 6020 words over the course of the day.

So um...yeah. I’m still working on “Rescue” but since I have so much of this ready, you’re going to get this for the next couple of days.

Just a couple of things, you can find the original idea for this on my Master List, but I don’t recommend reading it before this, because it makes the story a little less fun. The other thing is that in case it wasn’t clear enough the first part are all newspaper headlines.

Enjoy!

Steve was a man of few regrets in his life. He had a job he enjoyed, a daughter he loved more than life, and close friends he could count on. One of his biggest regrets, though? Losing track of Eddie after Corroded Coffin’s bassist Brian Martin died in a tour bus rollover in Europe on their first world tour.  

He knew that Robin and Dustin and probably some of the rest of the Party still kept in contact with Eddie, but after Steve was forced to miss Brian’s funeral...he wasn’t sure Eddie wanted him to contact him. So despite Dustin’s greatest efforts their lives remained separate.

“Hey, Dad!” Edith called from the kitchen.

Steve sighed into the bedroom mirror. He patted his hair down to hide the hearing aid. “Coming!”

He trotted out, grabbing his keys and wallet as he did so. His daughter was sitting at the counter happily munching on her cereal. Steve grinned when he saw her. She looked nothing like her mother, a fact Addison loathed. Edith had brown eyes and light brown hair with freckles, just like Steve.

“We finally have a new guitarist,” she said happily when she saw him. “But because we can’t have it at Lauren’s anymore...”

Steve sighed. “You want to use my garage as your studio?”

Edith grinned. “Pleaseee...”

Steve closed his eyes and opened them slowly to see her giving him the biggest pair of puppy dog eyes.

“All right,” he said. She started squealing and jumping for joy. “Only one day a week and if I have a migraine...”

She sighed, “We’ll keep it down.”

Steve ruffled her hair.

“Ugh...” she moaned. “It’s a good thing I don’t spend hours on my hair like you otherwise, I’d be really upset.”

Steve laughed. “Uncle Dusty keeps telling me it’s a miracle it hasn’t all fallen out yet.”

Edith smiled softly at him, before reaching up and gently tucking a lock of hair behind his left ear. “You’re the face of S&D, Dad. It’s not a crime to show off the goods.”

He ducked his head and blushed. “I know I wouldn’t be where I am without it but it chafes, you know.”

“You’re the father a seventeen year old girl,” Edith said with a wink, “I think you’re allowed to have a hearing aid.”

Steve sighed, too. “It just makes me feel older than I am.”

Edith shrugged. “You’re already old, so what’s a few more years difference?”

Steve raised his eyebrow and she squealed as he lunged for her. He kept up swimming and had taken up running. Edith on the other hand? She loathed sports. She claimed on more than one occasion that if anyone saw her running, they best start running too, because there was something chasing her.

A joke that didn’t go well with her dad or any of his friends for some reason she wasn’t privy to.

So she was an easy catch and he tickled her.

“No!” Edith huffed. “I’m too old for tickles!”

Steve stopped and cocked his head at her. “I still tickle Aunt Robin so...invalid argument.” And went back to tickling her.

Once she was gasping for breath, Steve let her up. “Now, Miss Thing, it’s time to get you to school.”

“Ugh...” she said, going to grab her backpack. “I hate school. Why can’t I just drop out?”

Steve raised an eyebrow. “Because last time I checked, I didn’t raise a quitter. And you only have a couple months left of this year and all of next.”

“I hate being a September baby,” she huffed dramatically. “I’m older than most of my class.”

He pulled her close and kissed her forehead. “You can blame your mom for that one.”

Edith smiled gratefully up at her dad. “It’s nice to have a scapegoat for all one’s ills in life.”

Steve laughed. “Thank god, for Addison Reed.”

*

Edith had to admit that there were certain parts of school that she enjoyed. She loved history and art. She didn’t know if she got that from her mom, as she had seen her mother all of three times in her memory. The first nine months of her life didn’t count.

Addison Reed had showed up when she was three when S&D had finally made it big and wanted more money from Dad. Again when she turned eight and Addison had taken her out for ice cream to try and charm Edith into giving up information on Dad so she could wheedle even more money out of him. The final time and the time that upset Dad the most was when Addison turned up when Edith was twelve to try and convince her to move in with her, so she could live off the child support.

That was when Dad got a restraining order against her, and moved them to Indiana from California. Edith missed the warm sunny days and the beaches, but she knew why Dad had done it. If moving back to Indiana was the only thing that would keep the leech away, Edith would have suggested it herself.

The other parts of school she liked were her friends. Mandy Lawrence and Kenny Grant. They had been a quartet, but Lauren decided she was too cool for them at the beginning of the year and stopped talking to them.

It was whatever.

She had art today which was a blessing because math was a killer and it always made her depressed. There was another reason she liked art class. Because that’s where she met this boy.

No, no not like that. Edith Barbara Harrington was a lesbian thank you very much. No, for all the kid’s fluffy brown hair, dimples and doe-eyes, she was interested in his ability to absolutely shred on guitar. His dad was some famous producer or some shit.

She walked up to him and fist bumped him. “H-man!”

“Miss Thing!” he greeted back. “Talked to my dad, but he said no go. He’s got too many valuable instruments he doesn’t want us touching.”

Edith grinned. “Well you’re in luck because my dad said yes.”

“Hell yeah!”

“So after school, k?” she said and he nodded. “I’ll text you the address.”

“Awesome!”

Their teacher called out for them to sit down and they did so with a grumble.

Edith couldn’t wait for after school.
