snuggly warm boys that i would definitely hug an absolutely normal amount of times

[somebluemelodies]

THEYRE FINALLY BACK AFTER ALL THIS TIME !! a technical follow-up to my second fic in the royals au, which you can read here :>

"Marry me."

"Sempre."

…

"When should we return?"

It's Cellbit who asks. They're sitting in an inn bedroom, managing to secure a place for the night courtesy of Roier being familiar with the owner. The prince refused to go back to the castle right away, and the guard was more than willing to accompany him down into the town instead.

"No sé. Maybe tomorrow night. I want them to worry." Roier huffs. "I'm very angry with them."

"I know. Me desculpa." Cellbit sighs. He glances at the prince, his prince, gently setting a hand on his thigh after a moment. "We're going to figure it out, though. Together."

"Sí, sí." Roier starts to smile, placing his hand over Cellbit's and watching as the guard flips his hand over, lacing their fingers together. "I don't care what they say, anymore. Either they let us get married, or we run away. Find someone else to marry us in some other town, you know?"

"I know about this empty cabin outside a kingdom north of here. Nobody lives there, it's deep in the woods, but close enough to where getting to the town isn't too big of a problem. I don't think anyone would find us there unless we showed them."

"No mames, we could be hermits. No more royal duty shit," he laughs. "Maybe we could even take Richarlyson with us. Or, he could come visit us."

"Definitely." Cellbit pauses a moment. "Are you... sure about running away? One-hundred percent sure?"

"Cellbit. Gatinho." Roier shifts his body, free hand grabbing Cellbit's shoulder. "Mi culito de arroz.” The guard’s brow quirks, laughing. “¿Por qué te ríes? This is- This is very serious, you know?”

“Claro, claro.” Cellbit only laughs more. “Dulce ojos.”

Roier smacks his arm, and the two fall into a fit of laughter, his head falling onto his lover’s shoulder.

It’s not that often he sees Cellbit like this: open, physically and figuratively. His armor is completely off, something Roier has only seen a mere few times, and his laugh and similarly odd sense of humor are some things the prince doesn’t get to hear nearly enough during the day when he’s on duty.

(He wants to hear it for the rest of his life. Wants to see the armor become situational, especially that stupid helmet always covering that handsome face, so he can spend his time holding warm skin and not cold metal.)

(He’s going to get it, whether it goes according to plan or not.)

When the laughter dies down, Roier’s expression becomes serious, and Cellbit’s follows suit when both of his hands are held in the other’s. “I am… two-hundred percent sure about this, Cellbit. I choose you, no matter what, okay? Te amo.”

He surprises himself a little with the last sentence, and it seems he surprises Cellbit too judging by the way his eyes widen slightly, but he decides to double down.

(It’s the truth. No use running from it after he ran towards the man in question.)

(They’ve come this far.)

The prince lets go of one of the guard’s hands to cup his face, looking him straight in his piercing eyes and praying Cellbit can feel every bit of sincerity within him. “Te amo con todo mi corazón. Only you.”

Cellbit leans into his touch, eyes closing, and Roier feels so positively enamored his heart could stop.

It’s silent for a few seconds, then Cellbit’s eyes open back up. “Eu te amo.” They flicker up to Roier’s, knowingly. “Meu rei.”

Roier huffs, but smiles the brightest he has all night, taking Cellbit’s face in both of his hands and pulling him into a long kiss.

The warmth is euphoric. This. This is what he needs, now and always and forever. And now that it’s back in his veins, he wondered how he ever let the feeling go in the first place. Why give up this, for the sake of someone else?

(Why give up his happiness, for the sake of someone else?)

(Never again.)

When they finally pull apart, drawing heavy breaths, Roier presses their foreheads together, a smile already inching back onto his face. “Mi rey.”

The guard flushes, and the prince hopes he can remember the smile on his face forever. And, feeling like they’ve already been apart for far too long, closes the little gap between their lips once more.

So long as they’re together, everything will be alright.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

@nibbelraz's SQH bros AU brings me so much joy

[ID: A Scum Villain Comic. Airplane/SQH as a child dressed in yellow and orange robes looks up happily and says "Gege, do you have games on your phone?" The next part depicts OG!Shang Qinghua ruffling Airplane's head with a tired look towards a paper simply responding "No." with a smaller chibi version of him next to his head saying 'What is a phone??' as if thinking internally. Airplane, whines "Awwww..." in response to SQH's No. End ID]

Not me absolutely frothing at the mouth about this AU. Can we get an info dump on the Lore? It's making me want to abandon my current Spideypool WIP for this. Absolutely terminal brainrot for this boy

BEHOLD: MASSIVE LORE DUMP!

Peter B. Parker is a young troublemaker who has a problem with authority. He also has a knack for picking tech apart and putting it back together, which puts him on the radar for a small-time gang that needs someone to act as their alarm system breaker for a big score.

Unfortunately, said score had bad intel and what was supposed to be a simple robbery turns out to be manslaughter when the resulting fire that was supposed to cover up their tracks ends up killing two guards.

Peter is tried as an adult with the rest of the gang and sentenced to Rykers for 5 years.

Check out the full page HERE.

At Rykers, Peter meets Marko Flint, who takes Peter under his wing. and teaches him how to survive and thrive when wearing the orange.

Life goes on for 5 years. He learns the trade, gets some tats, learns how to make some great shivs, and becomes a better criminal all around. Yay prison!

Peter gets out at 21, and reunites with Uncle Ben and Aunt May. He does his best to clean up his act, but normal life is hard for someone who spent their formative years in prison.

(He also makes questionable hair and fashion choices. What can I say, he's catching up!)

He goes from job to job, trying to pay back his aunt and uncle for all their support but is completely unequipped for the 'real world.' After a few months working/getting fired from soul-crushing menial jobs (HS dropout!), he agrees to take 'one last job' with Marko that is 'guaranteed to set them up for life'.

*cough*

This robbery goes off without a hitch! No one is hurt and they make off after hitting a heavily armored Oscorp Transport with a ton of documents/tech that they aim to sell to the highest bidder.

The biggest mystery is that one glowing vial of untested, experimental serum they found...

Unfortunately, Oscorp doesn't take robbery lightly. Marko finds out through contacts that the serum (whatever it is) is too hot to sell on the market, so he instructs Peter to get rid of it so it can't be traced back to them.

Peter, a rational 22-year-old ex-con, 'gets rid of it' by mixing the serum into ink and tattooing it onto his wrist, triggering the start of his mutations.

It takes a bit, but Peter get's all the regular spiderman benefits (webs are organic), plus one more. The serum was created from the venom of the Portia Spider, a hunting/jumping spider known to be uniquely intelligent among arachnids.

Alongside the speed/strength/spideysense, Peter also grows some fangs that secrete a powerful venom.

The venom speeds up the body's processes, working almost like an insane performance booster and enhancing an injected person's strength, speed, and senses for a few hours.

Unfortunately, repeated doses also eventually induce shock, paralysis, and, later, death.

He gives a few samples of it to Marko as an exit fee.

Uncle Ben was suspicious of how Peter suddenly got so much money, but took him on good faith. But, while he was watching the news that covered the Oscorp robbery, connected the dots and had a blowout fight with Peter that ended with him having a cardiac event.

Unfortunately, he did not survive.

Aunt May and Peter were estranged over this for several years.

This event crushes Peter, sobering him up immediately. He goes back and gets his HS diploma, and works on night courses in college.

However, he spends much of his days wandering, angry at himself and what he did. He beats up a mugger one day and realizes that he could be using his powers to back up the faith Ben had in him.

Spiderman is born!

Eventually, he and Aunt May reunite, and their relationship is slowly healing.

A few years later, Peter is on the up. He and Aunt May are close again! He's got a bachelor's in computer science, has a (semi) steady job, and is well-liked as Spiderman by the populace at large. His rogue's gallery is roguing- etc.

Unfortunately, a variant of his venom (developed by Kingpin) hits the streets as a drug. It's favored by both criminals for its performance-enhancing strength, as well as civilians, for the time-slowing sensation/high it gives them.

His girlfriend, Mary Jane, who has been sober for a few years, relapses. Peter, knowing that he can't stop her from getting it on her own, reveals his identity and becomes her main source.

At least, this way, he can control the dosage.

Marko (who sold Peter's venom to Kingpin) manages to fire off his only two brain cells and realizes that Spiderman IS Peter Parker.

Then he outs him to the world because Spiderman made it personal.

Peter's life catches on fire. The entire world is after him. His loved ones have to go into hiding because there's no shortage of criminals and psychopaths who want to get their hands on MJ and Aunt May to get to Spiderman.

Peter ceases to exist. It's not safe anymore. He spends days (weeks? months?) in the suit. Eventually, on the run and burnt out, he pleads his case to Dr. Strange in desperation. (Ala No Way Home)

"Everyone deserves a clean start."

Dr. Strange agrees, but the spell can't work with Peter still existing as part of the equation. So it fires him off into a reality where Peter B. Parker, and by extension Spiderman, never existed.

So how's an ex-con/ex-superhero (for now) supposed to carve a space in a world that never knew him? By finding somewhere that doesn't ask any questions.

And it just so happens, that St. Margaret's School for Wayward Children has a reputation for both being a bar of questionable repute and looking the other way.

Might as well start there.

~~~~~~~~~

Thank you so much for this lovely, lovely ask! I hope this massive lore dump wasn't overkill, but I'm having a lot of fun with this world and wanted to share.

And I offer this lore dump ONLY on the condition that you do not drop whatever you're working on. There is always space for more spideypool in the world, don't deprive us!!!
