The Killer & The Sound

Fandom: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Pairing: Faith x fem!Reader

Words: 5k+

Summary: You were just a cheery little college student who took a job at some bar. You had no idea the dangerous situation you put yourself in every single night. Luckily, Faith was there to watch over you. And whether you knew it or not, she made it her goal to protect you.

Genre: A little bit of angst I guess? Doesn’t have a sad ending or anything though.

Warnings: A little bit of light stalking (super mild but just in case), angst, a tiny bit of violence. (If I forgot something please please let me know!)

She watched you every night. She has for almost two months now. At first, Faith told herself it was because, despite what some may think, she wasn’t all bad. You were a young girl who worked nights at a skeezy dive bar that happened to be packed with vampires on the regular. You were oblivious, defenseless even, against the “big bads” that crawled into this dumpster fire of a place.

This was the latest town she planned to just breeze through. A small college town, the perfect place to attract all sorts of creepy crawly monsters. Faith’s method so far was the usual: Pick a shitty motel, stay two or so weeks, take out a few vamps, and move on. No roots, no attachments. That was still technically her plan… only now it had been way over the two-week mark, and she still can’t bring herself to move on. It started fairly uneventful. She picked a bar that screamed, “vampire watering hole” and decided to loiter around there until she could spot a vamp to dust. However, when she waltzed up to the bar to order a beer, she met you. You took her order with a shy smile and tried to make small talk as she leaned against the counter for most of the night. Usually, Faith would be annoyed by people trying to talk to her while she’s trying to patrol, but she was surprised to find she didn’t mind your nervous ramblings that night. She hated to admit, but… she even found it a little cute.

Here’s the thing about you. Faith didn’t meet many people like you, living the way she did. She hopped from dive bars to dark alleys, so she wouldn’t really label the people she came across as “pleasant”. Then there was you. You were like a single ray of sunshine in this otherwise dark and disgusting bar. The moment you smiled at her, she couldn’t deny she felt drawn to you. But she knew one thing for certain: she wasn’t the only one drawn to you. You stood out here. The lucky thing about being a bartender in a vampire’s stomping ground, they tend to live a little longer. It doesn’t look good for business when a place can’t keep its staff. Faith looked around, though. She counted quite a few vamps in the bar that first night, and she knew a handful of them were eying you. It was only a matter of time before one acted out and had you for a midnight snack.

That night, she stayed right there at the bar until closing. Any time you weren’t serving another patron, you’d come by and check on her, ask if she’d want another beer, even though she wasn’t even really drinking the one she bought hours ago. She’d shake her head no, but you’d still hover. She could tell you were new to this bartending gig, you didn’t seem quite sure of what to do in your downtime. By the end of the night, she left the bar but not the area. She kept her distance, but watched as you made it safely to your car before making her way back to her motel. When the next night rolled around, she found herself at the same bar, in the same place, ordering the same beer, yet again. She told herself it because this was a hot spot for vampire activity, but in reality she couldn’t get you out of her mind. She saw the looks some of them were giving you, and it made her stomach turn. Yet still, there you were, the one bright light in this depressing dive bar. You gave her an even bigger smile the second night, having recognized her from before. Faith tried to ignore the weird pull she felt in her chest when you greeted her. Aside from that, the second night went much like the first. She stayed close, watching, you hovered around her when you weren’t busy and come closing time she would leave the bar, only to watch you get to your car safely from outside.

The third and fourth night, she didn’t see you at all. A different bartender was there, a burly looking man. Vampire for sure. She had no idea why, even after only two days, she felt anxious that she didn’t see you there. She tried to tell herself people have days off, she knew logically that was the answer, but she couldn’t help but fear that some big bad might have snatched you when she wasn’t looking. By the fifth night, however, she learned that she was originally right. You must’ve had those days off because when she walked back into that bar and straight to the counter, there you were with that soft smile she didn’t realize she had been looking forward to. On the sixth night, you were there again, and she found herself relieved to see you. While this shithole definitely wasn’t a place for a girl like you, Faith reasoned that being here at least meant she could keep an eye on you. While you were at this bar, she could make sure nothing would come get you. She still couldn’t wrap her head around this need she had to protect you. She chalked this feeling up to some weird Slayer instinct bullshit she never cared to understand.

Come the seventh night, Faith finally learned your name, and she surprised herself by giving you hers.

“So it looks like you’re becoming a regular, huh?” You said as you slid her your usual beer.

“Looks like it, cupcake,” Faith shrugged as she took a sip. The lighting there might have been low, but she definitely noted the slight blush in your cheeks when she gave you that nickname.

“Well, if you’re going to be here often, you might want to actually know my name.” You chuckled. “It’s (Y/N).”

Faith just nodded and you looked at her expectantly.

“Oh er… Faith. Nice to meet ya,” she offered after a minute of awkward silence.

“Faith…” you repeated to yourself. There was that twist in her chest again. Faith had no idea what it was, but she was getting annoyed by it. She seemed to feel it more often in the past few days. Especially when you threw her one of your shy smiles.

In the remainder of that night, you talked to Faith a little bit more than usual. She learned that you were a college student, who picked up as many shifts as you could manage to pay your way through school. She also learned that you weren’t from here, which maybe explained why you agreed to work in a dump like this. But she also guessed part of agreeing to this job was desperation and the other part was sheer naivety. She didn’t forget about all the eyes that still lingered on you each night you walked in and out of this bar. She never missed it, and it made her blood boil. You, however, didn’t seem to notice them at all.

After that night, Faith decided to make it a little less obvious that she was around. She knew roughly when your shifts would start and each night she would hover around the area until she saw you leave safely. She would go in some nights, especially when the bar was busier. She liked keeping you closer on those days in case any hungry vamp decided to get a little bold. You always seemed excited to see her and each time you threw her that shy little smile, Faith felt her chest tighten at the sight.

On the nights you didn’t work, she tried to distract herself from the anxiety she felt not being able to watch over you. She would hunt down as many unsuspecting baddies in the area that she could to take her mind off you. She kept trying to tell herself that she didn’t hang around this bar for you, but for the large number of vampires that seemed to stalk this part of town. Who knows what other innocent girl would come wandering around here at the wrong time? Who’d take out the big bad monsters that lurk in the night, right? Except, Faith never really cared about this slayer business. She was a no hero. As the weeks turned into a month and then more, Faith couldn’t deny that there was something about you that made her stay. You had some pull over her, with your shy smiles, your nervous rambling, and the way you said her name like it was your favorite thing in the world. She was completely hooked and she hated it.

Then finally the night came. A group of vampires decided to make a move on you. Faith knew they were going to try soon. She could practically see them drooling over you the past week you’ve been working. She overheard them making their plans to jump you once your shift had ended and upon hearing the way they talked about you, Faith practically started a scene right then and there. But she knew, even if she could take a crowd of vamps any day, the guarantee of protecting you at the same time was slim. When they kept going on about you, she couldn’t keep her anger in check enough and broke the glass she was holding in her hand. You jumped immediately at this, but before you could make your way to her, Faith decided it was better to head out and make a plan of her own than draw any more attention.

It wasn’t much of a plan, though. Then again, Faith wasn’t ever one to strategize. She waited in the back alley behind the bar, where she knew they’d come waiting too, so she could dust every last one of them. She didn’t have to wait very long. It was a group of three men she recognized immediately. They started coming to this bar as a group for about a week now, and she especially didn’t like the way they looked at you. Something deep inside her feared they had more plans for you than to just make you their midnight snack. She was going to enjoy getting rid of these bastards. Vampire or not, just the look of them made her feel sick.

“Well, look what we have here,” One of them hollered as they all strolled up to where Faith currently leaned against the brick of the bar’s outer wall. “It’s our lucky day, boys.”

“Looks like we almost have enough to go around,” another chuckled as they started to close in. Faith’s current method was to feign fear until one of them was stupid enough to get close. Then she’d pounce. It didn’t take them long to do exactly that. All three shifting their face and baring their fangs. One leaned in and Faith pulled out the stake she hid in her jacket. Dusting the asshole in a blink of an eye.

“What the fuck?!” They both jumped back at the same time, and Faith felt the familiar rush of the fight beginning to build within her. She’s been itching to take out these assholes all week. She was really going to enjoy this fight.

“Oh man, real sorry about your friend there,” Faith mocked as she twirled her trusty stake in her hand. “But he shoulda known better than to invade a lady’s personal space.”

“You’re going to pay for that!” They were both seething as they rushed her at the same time. It was almost too easy, Faith thought. These idiots were purely driven on anger, making them sloppy as hell. Within seconds, Faith took out one of them. Flipping him on his back the moment he reached her and staking him, while expertly dodging the other. When she turned to the remaining one, he ran up on her, and she stopped him in his tracks with a powerful kick to the stomach, sending him flying with her slayer strength. He bounced back fast, but Faith was faster. As he got to his feet and rushed her yet again, teeth baring and snarling as he ran, she dodged all of his advances until finally, she pierced her stake straight through his heart, watching him fall into a pile of ash right at her feet.

Running her hand through her hair and taking a deep breath, she chuckled to herself as she stepped over the pile of dust the last vamp left behind. She knew it would be an easy fight, but damn, she was almost disappointed. She scanned the alley in front of her quickly, checking for any vampire that might still be hiding in the shadows, but having seen none, she slid her stake back in its usual hiding spot in her jacket. What she did miss, however, was you standing right at the back door to the bar, eyes wide in terror.

“What- What was that?” Faith froze. Her blood ran cold as she heard your voice.

“What are you talking about?” She didn’t dare turn around to look at you. Instead, she held as still as possible, silently cursing herself for being too focused on the fight to notice when you’d arrived on the scene.

“That… I just saw you…” You trailed off, completely at a loss for words. You couldn’t begin to comprehend what you had just seen. Faith, the one friendly regular who kept coming to your bar, suddenly became a killing machine. Or at least… you think that’s what happened. One minute a man was in front of her and the next he just quite literally vanished. You were sure you saw her plunge that stick straight into his heart, what you weren’t so sure of is what you saw next.

“Cupcake, it’s late, it’s dark. I don’t know what you thought you saw, but-”

“No. I saw you. You stabbed a guy with that… that stick you’re hiding in your jacket. But when you stabbed him, he just… poofed.” You know you sounded fucking crazy. You felt crazy, but you knew it wasn’t that dark, and you definitely weren’t that tired. You watched Faith’s shoulders rise and fall slowly as she took a deep breath. She shook her head for a second, before spinning around to look at you.

“It’s late, (Y/N). You’ve worked a long shift.” Faith’s jaw tensed as she spoke. You could hear anger in her tone.

“I know what I saw, Faith.” Faith scoffed at this, and now you were starting to get mad too.

“Just leave it be,” she said through gritted teeth. “You don’t want to know, I promise ya, cupcake.”

“No,” You stepped up to her, squaring your shoulders. Ever since you started working at this bar, things seemed off. This whole town, in fact, seemed off. Faith included. She may have been the highlight of your evenings, but you could tell when someone was harboring a secret or two, and now you knew for sure that Faith was harboring some pretty big ones. You weren’t going to give up on this. “I think I do.”

You were in each other’s personal space now. Faith was seething with anger, you could see it in her eyes. In any other moment, this would’ve excited you, but right now, you needed to know what you just saw. You stared her down with as much intensity as you could possibly manage, trying to express to Faith that you weren’t backing down.

“Fuck!” Faith yelled, turning her head to look up at the dark night’s sky.

“Fuck…” she repeated, quieter this time. “Okay, I’ll tell you. But not here.”

…

“You gotta say something, cupcake.”

You’ve been far too silent for the past hour. Faith was getting anxious as she tried to study your face closer. You sat next to her at the edge of her motel bed. Maybe a normal person would think you’re being calm about this whole situation, but Faith could see the slight tremble of your hands as they held on to the fabric of the sheets beneath you. She could tell you were uncomfortable by the way you didn’t quite meet her eyes. What she hated the most was she swore, when she did catch your eye, that you looked at her with fear. Fear… of her. And it felt like her heart was breaking.

She had insisted on taking you back to her motel, but she was still surprised you agreed. If she was being honest with herself, she was relieved you were coming home with her. She could watch you better this way, in case more vampires came to pick up where those three idiots had left off. But she was also a little irritated with your general willingness to hop in a car with a stranger and go to some shady motel. It was like you had no survival skills at all. Faith had no clue how you lasted this long without being demon food.

She tried to tell you all that she could, while also leaving out a large chunk of her past. That night you learned that monsters were real, that you were surrounded by vampires almost every night, and that, if she had not been there, you’d be a monster’s midnight snack. You also learned that it was her job to hunt monsters, and Faith didn’t really like to stay in one place for long. Something about destiny and duty, but Faith was very vague on those details. She had to clarify to you that she wasn’t a demon, but a slayer. You had no idea what that meant, but it made you feel safer for some reason. You didn’t know why you trusted Faith. You just did. Logic flew out the window the minute you saw a man turn to dust, so why not trust the woman next to you when she says she has super strength and hunts down demons?

Yet, you still felt terrified. Not of Faith. No, you understood now, she saved you. You knew from the first time you met her that she was safe. You didn’t know why, but everything inside you screamed to stay close to her and whenever she showed up at the bar, that’s exactly what you tried to do. You were scared because, suddenly, all the creatures from campy horror films and kids’ ghost stories were real. And worse, you were working in a bar full of them.

“Listen,” Faith tried again, starting to stand up. “Let me just take you home, (Y/N).”

“No!” You finally broke your silence, snatching her hand to stop her from walking away. Faith froze, her eyes wide as she turned back around to look down at where you still sat. “No, please. I’m sorry, I’m just a little shocked.”

“You’re scared, cupcake,” she almost looked heartbroken as she said that. “I can feel your hand shaking.”

You didn’t realize you were still holding on to her. You let go of her hand immediately, but the moment you did, you realized that was the wrong move. Faith definitely looked hurt by that.

“I don’t want to hurt you, (Y/N), I promise. Just let me take you home, and then I won’t bother ya again.”

You shook your head furiously at this. Your eyes began to fill with tears, but you held back. Crying would not help your case on why you weren’t scared of Faith. Just scared of… well, the whole goddamned outside world.

“No, no,” You repeated. “I don’t want to be away from you, Faith. That’s not it. I feel safe with you. I-”

Her sarcastic chuckle cut you off. You looked back up at her to see that she’s now the one trembling. She ran a shaky hand through her hair before she looked back down at you, and you could tell that you weren’t the only one who felt fear tonight.

“You’re not safe with me, cupcake,” Her voice was dripping with bitterness.

“But you said you’re the thing monsters run from.”

“Yeah, but that doesn’t mean I’m the good guy.” She refused to meet your gaze.

“I don’t believe that, Faith.”

“If you knew,” she turned around suddenly, her eyes flashing and her jaw clenching. “If you knew what I’ve done, who I am, you’d be running for the hills right about now. I’m not good, cupcake. I’m not a hero. I don’t kill monsters because it’s my destiny or whatever the fuck you want to call it. I kill them because that’s what I’m good at it. Because I can. Because I like killing them. I don’t do the whole goody goody hero shit. Any time I do, I fuck up, okay? Someone always gets hurt.”

Her voice broke with her last statement. You shook your head again, your tears harder and harder to fight off. You could see she was hurting, that she was pushing you away. You didn’t understand why, but you knew, no matter what she was saying, it was all a front. She wanted to make it seem like she didn’t care, but you could tell that was far from the truth, and your heart ached for her. You could see the fear, you could see how fragile she was, you could hear how alone she felt deep down with each moment she tried to convince you she didn’t care. In the almost two months of getting to know Faith, while she didn’t say much about herself, you still paid attention. She thought she was the only one watching, but you were watching her too. You were beginning to read her well.

“You saved me,” you offered. “You stayed and saved me when you could’ve just left. You said you don’t stay in one place for too long, right? Then why are you still here, Faith? If there are demons to slay all over the world, why did you stay?”

That stopped her in her tracks. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights. You’d almost feel smug if the conversation wasn’t so serious.

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t buy that for a second,” you stood up, stepping towards her. “You want to pretend like you don’t care, but you do. You want me to be afraid of you because it’s easier. Well, I am afraid, Faith. But not of you. I’m allowed a minute to freak out when I learn literal demons are running around at night. What you’re not allowed to do is freak out on me and pull back. To leave me defenseless from these things right after telling me they’re real. You stuck around here, around me because you do care. You might not see yourself as a hero, Faith, but I do. You saved me tonight. You’ve kept me safe for two months now. That’s not nothing.”

You both stood there in silence for what felt like forever. Neither one of you breaking eye contact, both of you still trembling, as you waited for Faith to finally say something.

“A hero is selfless, cupcake,” Faith finally broke the silence. Her shoulders slumped as she spoke, and her tone sounded almost a little defeated. “I’m far from that.”

“I don’t understand…”

“A slayer is supposed to protect the public, (Y/N), not just one person. I came into that bar, fully intending on causing some chaos with the vamps in town and then skipping. But then I saw you,” she stepped up closer to you tentatively as she spoke. “I don’t give a fuck about anyone else. I wasn’t sticking around to save the town, I was just sticking around to save you. I should’ve bailed a long time ago, but those assholes were practically drooling over you every fucking night, and I couldn’t stand it.”

Suddenly, she was very much in your personal space, and she was intoxicating. She looked down at you and a completely new emotion flashed through her eyes. One you haven’t seen before. One that sent a shiver down your spine.

“I couldn’t let them have you, princess,” Faith’s voice grew lower, and she didn’t miss the blush that spread across your face at this new nickname. “I’m no hero. I’m selfish and competitive and when I want something…” Her hand found its way up the back of your neck. Her fingers tangled into your hair before tightening into a fist. You gasped, and she used her hold on you to tilt your head up.

“I fucking take it,” she hissed before pulling you into a bruising kiss.

You’d be lying if you said in the last two months you hadn’t imagined what it would be like to kiss her. To feel her hands in your hair and her body against yours. You dreamt of it quite often, actually. But not like this. Not with tears now streaming down your face, not while feeling the subtle shake of her entire body as she pressed against you, invading your every sense. Not when you could tell, under the surface, she was breaking.

Her lips moved against yours desperately, and her grip on your hair grew painfully tighter. For a moment, you couldn’t think or act. You were too stunned. Too overwhelmed in the way she was claiming you. But after you felt her other arm snake down your neck to your chest, you snapped out of it. Placing both of your palms on her shoulders, you gave her a shove. It wasn’t hard, but it also definitely wasn’t that gentle either. Yet, she didn’t budge. She didn’t even notice.

You started to panic when you felt yourself being dragged backward towards the bed with the grip Faith had on you. You decided to try again before things got too far. Palms back on her shoulder, you shoved with as much force as you could. Finally, she stumbled back, just barely.

“Faith, stop!” You panted. You rubbed the tears away from your cheeks as you looked back at her. Her eyes, once filled with anger, looked at you with utter horror now. She took two steps back and hung her head low.

You stood there, yet again, in silence for far too long, both of you breathing hard. Your tears had stopped, but your shaking didn’t. You had so many thoughts running through your head, and you know she did too. You also knew what just happened was nothing more than a misguided way to scare you off. The shame that was written all over her face said as much.

“I told you,” she finally broke the silence, her voice barely a whisper. “I’m not good, (Y/N).”

“You’re trying to scare me off. I can see it, Faith. But it’s not going to work.” You took a deep breath and stepped closer to her. You reached out to gently run your fingers along her jaw and she finally looked back up at you with regretful eyes. “You stayed for me. Now, it’s my turn to do the same.”

“But I-“

“No. I stopped you because I didn’t want your reason to kiss me just to be to prove some damn point. I’ve wanted to kiss you since I saw you that first night. So you want me, Faith? You can take me. Wanting doesn’t make you the bad guy. It makes you human.”

With that, you leaned in and gave her the kiss that your first should’ve been. You felt her hesitate for a moment as your lips pressed lightly against hers. Suddenly, she seemed so soft, so fragile. It made your heart soar. After a second, you felt her arms cautiously move to wrap around your waist and pull you closer once more. When she did that, you both melted into each other, deepening the kiss.

You stayed like that for a while. Kissing with leisure. No more forcefulness, no more anger. You poured all of your feelings into her, and you could tell she was doing the same. Your hands found their way around her neck, and you pulled her even closer, parting your lips slightly as you felt her tongue breeze across your bottom lip.

Both of you shivered at that, and you could feel your heart beating out of its chest. The urge to pull her back with you onto the motel bed was strong, and you know she was feeling it to with how her arms tightened around your waist.

If it were any other night, maybe you would say fuck it and dive right in, but tonight was filled with too many emotions. Too many big reveals. You knew that what was happening with Faith wasn’t just a fling, and you had a feeling Faith was only ever really used to flings. No, there would be other nights. Right now, you needed to take things slow. To show her you’re not scared. Not of her at least.

You broke the kiss, but pressed your forehead to hers. You could tell she was still trembling, and that only made your heart ache for her more. “It’s okay,” you whispered.

“What if…” she cleared her throat, suddenly caught up in her emotions. “What if I can’t keep you safe? What if I hurt you?”

“You won’t.” You pulled back from her slightly so that you could look her firmly in the eye. Sliding your hands down her shoulders to her hands, you gave each a squeeze as you offered her a gentle smile. “You might not see yourself as a hero, Faith. But I do. I know you’ll do everything you can to keep me safe.”

She reached out for you once more, crushing you into a tight embrace. “I can’t promise I won’t hurt you… but I will try to be better.”

You simply nodded before burying your head in her neck, your arms going to wrap themselves around her as well. You’ve only known her for two months, but you already trusted her with your life. You understood now that she wasn’t scared of the monsters and demons outside or if her line of “work” could put you at risk. She was scared of herself. You made a mental note to learn more about why at a later date, but you had a feeling that conversation would take time and needed to be eased into. It wasn’t important right now. Right now, what was important, is that she was willing to stay for you. To see where this could lead. While she may be afraid she’ll hurt you, you knew she wouldn’t. You couldn’t explain it, but it felt like your entire being was screaming at you to stay near her. Something inside you just knew that you would never be safer anywhere else than her arms. You didn’t understand these feelings, but you trusted them.

You both held each other close for what felt like hours. Faith felt terrified, but for the first time, in gods know long, she felt hopeful. And that was a start.

Requested by @blanknamed (aka my bestie fr): hihi i saw the matchup and remembered my irl friend sent me these pictures when describing my aesthetic at one point and was wondering if i can have a matchup with someone from dsmp and dr. stone 🥺congrats on 1k too! so proud of you ❤️ you deserve this milestone!

Arielle get over here and let me give you a virtual kiss on the forehead because you’re just the sweetest person to ever grace this earth 😚forgive me for the long wait but i had to put so much into this one because it’s for you!! thank you for always being such a ray of sunshine and for becoming one of my first ever mutuals so long ago — and as a show of my gratitude, i’ll get right into your first pairing, which is going to be with…

I had a literal conflict over this because I think you could be compatible with more than half of the characters in dr. stone (looking at gen specifically), but UGH you and Senku would be so damn iconic together. As much as he’s not intent on becoming romantically involved with anyone, it just so happened that you both had a chance meeting together at the school library — in the modern times pre-petrification, of course. You were looking for a book on the development of radiation powered technology for a history class, and by coincidence Senku was reading the blurb of that very text when you stopped by. When you asked if he’d read it, your classmate simply shook his head and said he just knew a lot about the subject, and soon enough a conversation blossomed from that point.

Y’all talked for two hours. While standing in the same spot. TWO HOURS. And it didn’t even stop there because he realized the time and asked if you wanted to talk more over a bowl of this really good ramen he knew about close by. Senku barely even realized the implications of his offer until much later, since…

He was way too involved in your conversation to notice

He’s never had any interest like that in someone before, let alone has he ever tried asking a person out in general

Everything about you was so interesting to him that he cannot process anything else going on around him and he doesn’t know why

You just feel so different in comparison to his dynamic with anyone else that it throws him off. He’s curious as to why he straightens up when you walk in a room, why everytime you smile at his stupid dry jokes it makes him more confident, why your intrigued questions about his work give him an extra burst of adrenaline. After he comes home late, having fallen asleep in the library while you studied for a test beside him, Byakuya eventually spells it out for Senku in massive bold letters.

No, seriously, he writes it on a whiteboard with a chunky black marker.

“That’s ridiculously far-fetched,” he asserts quickly, trying to push his old man out of the room. “Since when have I ever been interested in anyone in that way?”

“Senku, you waited for her to finish her work. Without complaint.”

And he’s like: oh shit—

But knowing Senku, he still makes some futile attempts to disprove the concept that he could ever be attracted to someone in a romantic sense. Ya know, all that, “science is my only devotion” shit. It lasted for about two weeks, which was the exact amount of time that he tried avoiding you in hopes of seeing if he could in fact continue his routine without your presence next to him.

The bitch still cannot swallow his pride though, so you have to be the one to make the first move — which is about as simple as perfecting Flight of the Bumblebee on a violin. Every time you try bringing it up, it’s like Senku gets a sixth sense about it and is pulled away from you as soon as possible. At some point you just had to corner him in the school lab, hands smacking against the surface of his work table and mouth blurting it out.

“I think we should go on a date.”

He’s kinda impressed at the sheer willpower you displayed in finally getting the question into the air. And as much as he would hate to admit it, some happy nerves shot through his body when it happened. On the outside, though, he simply failed to fight a grin.

“Wanna get food with me tonight?”

And you did :D and it only went good from there. Dates at cafes with comfy chairs and pretty lighting, test runs of new experiments in the middle of the night that Senku calls you to see together, just enjoying the presence of one another in a secluded corner of the libraries you frequent. Even after the disaster that was petrification you’re both side by side, being sarcastic little shits to each other as soon as Senku frees you from the stone; doing new tests to save the world, going on picnics by the river, and constantly being of service to one another.

And then from the c!dsmp, I thought it was only fitting to match you up with…

^^ artwork by SAD-ist on YouTube

Listen, listen: I was considering a more standard/expected approach to this matchup, like maybe c!Wilbur or c!Niki because they’ve both got some major academia vibes. Especially Niki, because damn she’d probably take you to her flower shop and make handmade bouquets for you each day. However, I just think that it would be so perfectly fitting to have you and c!Sapnap together aesthetically. He’s very emotionally driven, always doing something stupid, and he probably hasn’t read a book since L’manburg claimed to be a sovereign nation. Regardless of that fact, he could sit and watch you read a book for hours, even if you didn’t ask him to. Standard case of grounded scholar + impulsive idiot = natural soulmates.

Within the region of the SMP, I imagine you like confining yourself to the libraries filled with ancient texts on the vast history of your home — although taking a visit to Eret’s self-made museum is always a pleasure as well. Niki gets along with you easily enough that you hang out together all the time, and it’s on one such occasion in the early days of L’manburg that Sapnap encounters you for the first time.

Dream had sent him out for scouting duty (which to Sapnap translates into, ‘be annoying to everyone within the walls’), and he’d taken to the edge of the country’s small borders, lounging up high above the trees so that he could see everything below with ease. To his surprise he found you, scribbling away within a ragged old notebook underneath a tree canopy, and wearing the prettiest smile he’d ever seen exist on a person before. You were waiting for your friend to arrive, it seemed, taking the ideas in your head and putting them to paper whilst you sat patiently. He was enraptured with you right away, and as a result he took to teasingly pestering you every chance he could.

Sapnap showed up at least once a week — and when he could, more than that — to slowly learn more about you. He tried staying under the radar of Wilbur when he did, just to make sure none of his endeavors were interfered with or got back to Dream in any capacity. Initially, his presence appeared a pain in your side, but your apprehension ultimately fell at the hands of his ridiculous humor and genuine inquiries as to your likes and dislikes. You knew who he was from the get-go, but it was hard not to find delight in his visits when he made such vigorous attempts to know you.

Although you’re sure he’d already learned it somehow, you told him your name one fateful afternoon, and he’s thought about that moment every day since, marking it as the first day he truly made progress in winning you over.

“You should come up here one day so we can talk normally,” he called out on a particularly overcast fall morning. “Maybe then I can see your face up close.”

You laughed, gazing up at him from the hillside on which you reclined. “You’re ridiculous. That’s not how this relationship works.”

“Mm, relationship? Sounds like you wanna gimme a kiss more than saying anything, hu—ow!”

A pine cone had clipped him in the shoulder harmlessly, chucked with expert aim by your own hand. Despite his surprise, Sapnap couldn’t help smiling.

“If you’re working that hard to twist the narrative and get me up there, how about you just come down instead?”

Without missing a beat the next day, he scaled to the top of the nation’s wall, made his way inside (with very little consideration for his safety), and took your face in his hands.

“You want me to?”

You already knew the implications. “Yeah.”

And he kissed you, then and there. Nice job, Ari!

Navigating a full blown relationship in the conditions y’all were in was not ideal. Sapnap tried everything he could to make sure you were safe, despite his distaste for your mother country and its leaders. After that cleared, though, it was a whole lot easier to be together and figure things out. Sapnap didn’t mind you staying within the walls as much as he initially thought because it reminded him of the first time you met, and so long as he could spend time with you he loved every second. Literally ask this man to do anything with you and he’s in, no matter what it is.

The sheer spontaneous energy Sapnap has inevitably feeds into your own, so while you’re much more contained than the pyromaniac, you have some very notable moments of crazy that are simply unforgettable. It’s honestly super funny to see that infectious life invade your senses, because otherwise you’re a super logical person and love entertaining yourself with the more simplistic things.

You work a lot with Wilbur on record keeping and cartography, but something that you and Sapnap apparently have in common is archery. That pine cone throw was no fluke, and he found that out when you came to visit, a shimmering bow fastened to a stock-full quiver on your back. It’s become a pastime to both ride out into the forest with your horses and practice archery (oftentimes mounted) as a way to let out frustration. If the weather conditions are too abysmal to go and do something outdoors, though, Sapnap likes to fall asleep watching you do methodical work, most commonly with his head in your lap as a fireplace crackles nearby. He’s a huge sucker for that cozy atmosphere, even though he tries to be all tough and badass at other times.

This became a huge ramble because I just think this pairing for you works so well, but I’m praying you get the picture. Sapnap is a flirty, slightly whiny, very protective, and free spirited person whenever you’re around, and he’d do whatever he could to see that pretty smile like the first day you told him your name. He thinks the world of you, and in his eyes your intelligence goes unparalleled.

Miguel Diaz fluff alphabet

A = Attractive (What do they find attractive about the other?)

Miguel loves your smile. He’s a funny guy and he thinks your smile lights up a room so he makes it his mission to make you laugh as much as possible. If you have some crooked teeth, he thinks it’s adorable. Also, looking at your smile makes him think about your lips which just makes him want to kiss you.

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why/Why not?)

Yes, after he gets a stable job. He would love kids but he doesn’t want to be like his dad and end up abandoning his family so he would make extra sure he could support the child and you and makes a conscious effort to be there for his family no matter what. Asking about their day, being involved in their sports/clubs/hobbies, making snacks when they have friends over. He just wants to be the Cool Dad ™ and would probably try to teach them karate before they could even sit up.

C = Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

He loves to have you sit between his legs and lean back against his chest so he can wrap his arms around you and make sure you’re always safe and warm. It’s the perfect position for movies, video games, deep conversations, baths. He will also often come up behind you at a party and hold you like this if someone is hitting on you or if you look uncomfortable or bored. He can whisper little jokes in your ear or kiss you on the cheek.

D = Dates (What are dates with them like?)

He loves fun dates. You both have always found fancy dinner dates really awkward. He likes something where you guys can move around, do activities, and just let loose. The go-to’s are usually mini golf, the arcade, the zoo, or just a nice picnic in the park. He often gets you little gifts before dates, though, like flowers, a stuffed animal, or a cool rock he found. His Yaya taught him never to show up for a date empty handed. And he’s a total gentleman, never making you uncomfortable or rushing things. Miguel keeps his hands to himself unless instructed otherwise.

E = Everything (You are my ____ (e.g. my life, my world…)

You are my sunshine. As cheesy as it is, Miguel sees you as the shining light in his life. You make everything better, whether that’s an injury, a bad day at school, or losing a fight at training. He knows he can always go to you and be distracted by your beautiful smile.

F = Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

Miguel first knew he was in love with you when you met his family for the first time. They invited you over for dinner one night and he told you his Yaya didn’t speak much english, so you asked him to teach you some spanish so you could talk with her. It wasn’t perfect, you made lots of grammar mistakes and really only said a couple sentences to her, but the effort you made combined with the smile on Yaya’s face made him fall absolutely head-over-heels.

If you already speak spanish, it would be seeing you talk with his Yaya and joke around with her over dinner.

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

The most gentle boy on the face of the Earth. Like I said earlier, Miguel keeps his hands to himself unless you tell him otherwise. The first time you guys kiss, he barely moves a muscle. You had to grab his hands and put them on your waist. Even now, when he’s teaching you karate, he refuses to hit or grab you, so you honestly don’t really learn anything lol and if you’re sick or sleeping, he’s like a feather, so scared to disturb you. It’s like touching a kitten honestly

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

All. The. Time. He’s not too big on PDA, except for hand-holding. This is how he lets everyone know you’re taken without seeming possessive or gross. Miguel will grab your hand at the mall, at school, while y’all are cuddling, at the beach, literally whenever you’re in arm’s reach from him, he’s holding your hand.

I = Impression (What was their first impression?)

Miguel’s first impression of you is that you’re this bright ray of sunshine. He’s drawn to you like a magnet. Your eyes, your smile, your laugh! And when he finally works up the nerve to say hi (Strike first!) he thinks his heart might actually melt. When you actually laugh at the joke he makes and hold out your hand to introduce yourself, he turns bright red and can barely speak omfg this poor boy. But luckily you think it’s sweet and keep talking to him.

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)

He did at first, we’ve all seen how he acts with Sam and Robby, but you lay down the law. You have to tell him that it’s not cool, it makes people uncomfy, and then he finally starts to work on it. Now he’s better. He still feels jealous sometimes, but he trusts you and can control himself a bit more.

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

So your first kiss. You were giving him The Look for like 10 minutes straight and he never made a move. He just stared at you. So you had to be the first one to actually lean in, but once you did, he met you halfway. His kisses match his personality. Sweet, gentle, and goofy, but with a more dominant, aggressive side if you know how to bring it out ;)

L = Love (Who says ‘I love you’ first?)

He did. After you had dinner with his family and he realized he loved you, he told you almost immediately. This boy just wears his heart on his sleeve. He was walking you home and when you got to your house and turned around to kiss him goodnight, he had a funny look on his face. When you asked him what was wrong he kind of went ILOVEYOU! Really fast and you had to make him say it again slower because you thought he had a stroke or smth lmaooo but once he took a deep breath and said it more clearly, you jumped on him and kissed his whole face and said it back a hundred times.

M = Memory (What’s their favourite memory together?)

When he first introduced you to Sensei Lawrence. He thought Sensei was gonna be super mean and make fun of you, but turns out you guys had a lot in common. You loved 80’s rock music, and responded to his sass with even more sass. Johnny almost couldn’t believe Miguel was able to get such a cool babe. You guys all had lunch after taking a tour of the dojo, and it was a super fun day! You all drove around in Johnny’s car with the windows down listening to Guns ‘n Roses.

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Miguel spoils you in his own little way. His family isn’t as fortunate as others, but he still finds ways to make you feel special. Instead of a diamond necklace, he gives you a cool rock he found outside and cleaned up. Instead of taking you to expensive restaurants, he spends all day cooking with Yaya to make a nice picnic for you guys to have on the beach. And he saves up to buy you nice gifts for your birthday or anniversary.

O = Orange (What colour reminds them of their other half?)

Rose gold. You’re so beautiful to him and have this natural charm that everyone falls for. You’re so radiant and yet soft and unique. He just love love loves you.

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

Sweety, sweetheart, baby, gorgeous, and Princess during more intimate moments.

Q = Quaint (What is their favourite non-modern thing?)

80’s rock music. He learns to love it through Sensei Lawrence. He even saves up to buy a record player so he can feel more connected to the past.

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

Build blanket forts, cuddle, bake cookies, he might even let you put makeup on him if you ask nice.

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?)

Humor. He loves cracking jokes and lightening the mood. If you’re ever feeling down you know you can go to him and he will turn that frown upside down in mere minutes. Honestly even just being in his presence makes you happier. He cheers himself up by working out, taking some alone time to get his feelings out, and then going out with some friends or with you.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

Umm, karate! Duh lol the boy is obsessed with it. Also superhero movies, video games, his day, he’s honestly kind of a rambler. He can talk about anything and everything if he’s nervous enough. Let’s not forget the gas station scene in season 1…

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

You, dark rooms, white noise, puppies, linen scented candles, his mom’s cooking.

V = Vaunt (What do they like to show off? What are they proud of?)

His new muscles. Ever since joining Cobra Kai, he’s gotten pretty ripped and now it’s a struggle to get him to keep his shirt on. He worked hard for that body, he wants people to see how good he looks!

W = Wedding (When, how, where do they propose?)

After college, he takes you on a hike up to this ridge overlooking a lake. It’s fall, the leaves are changing colors, and there’s no one around. You guys have been holding hands the whole time, but his hand is super sweaty even though it’s like 50 degrees out. You guys finally get to the top of the ridge and he grabs both your hands and tells you all the things he loves about you. This boy basically recites your whole love story, and as soon as he sticks his hand in his pocket you know what’s going on. He barely even got the box out of his pocket before you were jumping on him screaming Yes! You guys fell to the ground and he stopped you so he could officially get the words out. You were both crying, it was very beautiful.

X = Xylophone (What’s their song?)

More Than Words by Extreme. You guys dance to this at your wedding.

Y = Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

Absolutely. Y’all marry pretty young, like right out of college. He knew you were gonna get married on the first date.

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

Iguana. He thinks they’re like little dinosaurs! He would name it Wade because we know he loves Deadpool.

You Are My Sunshine

A little Shrinkyclinks fic I am working on. Not beta read so ope.

Steve had retired a few months back, giving Sam the shield. His life had been quiet enough since then, getting a two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn with Bucky when Bucky returned from the blip. Bucky, though,would still go out on missions with Sam and did some freelance work for the government. Steve would never admit that though his friend was more than capable, he would still get nervous when he was away for days at a time, worried that he would lose his friend for a third time. But overall, it was going fine. That is until one day when one of Bucky's jobs followed him home.

An unfortunate result of the recent Flag Smashers attacks, some anti-super soldier terrorist groups rose-up out of fear. Some wealthy elites, both part of world governments and independent ,backed these groups in secret, supplying tech and money, as they see super soldiers as a threat to their power. They weaponized these people’s fear. These groups were ruthless in their pursuits, ordered to not care who they hurt, as long as they eliminated super soldiers.

Bucky and Sam had faced one of these groups recently, when they attempted to come after and kill Bucky while they were out on an intelligence mission. The two men thought that they had taken care of the group after a long, drawn-out battle, rounding them up to deal with the consequences. What they hadn't had counted on was a second team following Bucky back to Brooklyn, after he and Sam went their separate ways. He had done well to keep he and Steve’s location a secret, but got careless this time, letting his guard down.

So now these militants were in New York in front of their apartment building, threatening to hurt other people, to get to Steve and Bucky. Of course the men don’t back down, not waiting for backup to arrive. The fight had been tense, Bucky and Steve vs 10 well-armed men, but nothing they couldn't handle. So they managed to subdue them. But as a last-ditch effort, one shot something right towards Bucky who had been occupied with another one of the men. It appeared like a red laser beam, almost something out of a sci-fi film. Steve noticed it coming, and not having the time to warn Bucky, jumps in front of his friend, taking the hit. He goes down hard to the ground, unconscious instantly. "Steve!" Bucky yells out, heart sinking. When his friend doesn’t move, he is urged back into action, protecting his now defenseless friend. It takes everything in him not to revert to killing, like the Winter Soldier, but the man who shot Steve was definitely in bad shape by the time backup,government agents, arrived. They round the would be terrorist up and get them hauled away.

As the men are being taken away, Bucky runs towards Steve who is unresponsive on the ground but still breathing. He yells for an ambulance. He scoops Steve up in his arms, and against his chest, kneeling on the ground, whispering "Come on, Stevie…" he feels like this is all his fault. He was the one who brought them there, he was the one the gun was aiming for, and now the love of his life, however unrequited that may be, is lying unconscious on the ground, and god only knows what that laser did. He feels a tear well up in his eye, forcing himself not to shed it. This is not the time to break down. But he is terrified. He hasn’t seen Steve completely unresponsive in years, not since they were kids and he would get into fights and get knocked unconscious. Bucky, then too, would often lose his mind, beating up anyone who had touched his Stevie, whether Steve knew it or not.

But before the ambulance arrives, Steve is opening his eyes again, smiling at Bucky. “Hey Buck.” He sounds completely fine.

Bucky lets out a sigh of relief, it looks like whatever the laser was intended to do didn’t work on him. “How ya' feeling, pal?” Bucky smiles back.

“Great, just a little tired, but I don’t feel any different otherwise.” Suddenly, Steve becomes aware of Bucky’s arms still wrapped around him, pulling him close to his chest. He blushes as he clears his throat. “You planning on squeezing me to death, bud?”

Now Bucky is going red, trying to laugh it off as he lets go. “I thought you were dying, punk.”

Steve just laughs back, sitting up right as the ambulance arrives. They bring him to the truck and check him out, giving him a clean bill of health. So, Steve and Bucky return to the apartment. Both showering and then Steve opting to go lay down. Seriously injured or not, being knocked unconscious took a lot out of him.

Bucky sat in their living room, trying his best to block out the events of today. For those few minutes, when he thought he could lose Steve, he had felt like everything around him was going to crash down, burying him in a pit of loneliness and sadness that he knew he wouldn't be able to escape. The thought of losing Steve again made him sick to his stomach. Steve was his everything, even when they were kids in Brooklyn, when sickness would ravage the blonde’s body and he would spend days at the Rogers’ home, sitting near his bedside, or sliding into bed to pull him close to keep him warm. Worried that he could lose his Stevie at any moment. Terrified at the thought. And seeing Steve unconscious today, brought all those feelings back. It was worse than seeing him roughed up in battle, because at least those times he had been conscious. But this time was different. He doesn’t know what he would do without his favorite person in the whole world, the one person who understands him. The person he would do anything for, be anything for, just to make him happy. But Steve was fine, he reminded himself.

So, he tries to shake away those feelings, sending mindless texts to Sam, who had messaged him as soon as he heard what happened. Bucky filled him in, told him Steve was alright. Then deciding to read, he picked up where he left off on The Lord of the Rings. He has to say, he loves these books, always liking The Hobbit, so being ecstatic to find out that the author had written more later. One good thing about waking up in the future. This did the trick, immersing himself into the story, melting away any lingering thoughts of today.

That is until a couple hours pass, and he hears rough coughing from Steve’s bedroom. This catches him off guard. Steve (and himself), don’t really get sick thanks to the fantastic immune system afforded to super soldiers.

He gets up and makes his way to Steve’s bedroom, knocking as he hears the continued coughing fit, punctuated by wheezing. When Steve doesn’t answer, Bucky just opens the door, too worried to care about etiquette. When he enters the room, he stops dead in his tracks. There, sitting up coughing, is Steve. But Steve is different then when he went to lay down, He is much shorter, lacking any muscle mass, skinny, drowning in the navy t-shirt and grey sweatpants he went to sleep in. He looks like he did before the serum, give, or take a few years due to the time he has spent outside of the ice.

Bucky steps closer “Stevie?” He is shocked and worried again.

When Steve finally catches his breath, he looks down at his own hands instead of meeting Bucky’s stare, mortified by his sudden appearance change. The other man stepped closer to the bed. “Steve, I think the ray wasn’t so harmless.” He tries to say plainly, not showing the worry in his voice. For as much as he had been angry at Steve back in the day for letting the military experiment on him, he was ultimately grateful that the serum had helped his body fight back diseases that had tormented him his entire life.

Steve’s bright blue eyes, which always stood out more against his paler, sicklier skin, shoot up and meet Bucky’s and he snaps “You think?” His harsh tone caused Bucky to recoil slightly. Steve, seeing this, quickly apologizes, feeling guilty. “Sorry, Buck…” Bucky nods and steps forward again, taking a seat on the edge of Steve’s bed. "Don't worry about it, it was a dumb thing to say. "Bucky blushes slightly, cursing himself for being such an idiot sometimes.

Steve sighs, not towards Bucky but in general, towards the room.“I’m just frustrated. I woke up a few minutes ago and I was this…and then it got hard to breathe and for the first time in years it felt like I was having an asthma attack. Isn’t that pathetic?”

Something switches in Bucky’s head when Steve calls himself pathetic, something more protective like how he used to feel when they were much younger. He reaches over like it is nothing, placing his hand on Steve’s bony knee. “I’m going to tell you like I did back then. Nothing about you is pathetic. You can’t help what your body does. And you…you jumped in front of a gun to protect me. I wouldn’t call that pathetic. I’d call that being a hero.”

Steve cracks a small smile. “Whatever you say…” He does not believe him but knows Bucky won’t back down on this, he never has. He lets out a shiver. The apartment is freezing. It is February but they keep the heat low since both men had such a high tolerance to cold. Bucky notices his friend shivering. “Oh shoot, I sorry Stevie. Let me get the heat and then…I’m going to call down to the Avenger’s Tower.” Pepper has been keeping it going and he knows she will know who can help them.

Steve nods, hating feeling so useless, but knowing Bucky is there to help. That he can rely on Bucky not to make him feel worse, just be there to support and help him. He used to hate the way Bucky would always step in. He used to think it was because Bucky thought he was weak. But in reality, its because Bucky is the best friend a guy could ask for.

Bucky turns the heat up before making the call. It’s pretty late at this point, so Pepper tells them to come down tomorrow and they will take a look at him. Bruce can be there in the morning to help. Bucky hates that, hates that he has to wait. He is worried about Steve and wants answers now. But he knows she is right. They should just rest, but first thing in the morning Bucky will be down there with Steve.

He makes his way back to Steve’s bedroom not bothering to knock on the half-opened door, wishing he did though. Steve was facing away from him, but he was naked, ass in full view of Bucky. Even when he was small and skinny, Bucky thought he had a fantastic ass, not that anyone would have been able to tell back in the day, Steve always wore clothes too big for him. Bucky blushes as he tries to get out without Steve noticing him, but he is distracted, clumsily bumping into the door framing, causing a loud bang. Steve, turns around, suddenly covering up with the shirt that is in his hand and turning red.

Bucky stumbles through an apology. “I am so sorry…sorry…I…uh...” before just running out of the room like an embarrassed school girl.

Smooth Barnes. He thinks to himself as he slumps down on the couch. He doesn’t know why he got so flustered, it's not like he hasn’t seen Steve naked before, changing around each other all the time as kids. Well, until his dad said they were too old to be getting dressed around each other. That was also the same time his dad had told him that they were too old to be “hugging like that”, too old to be holding hands, “Boys your age don’t need to be that affectionate with their friends'' and “Do you want folks to think you are a pansy?” Bucky closes his eyes, unsuccessfully trying to rid his mind of that memory. He thanks god that his dad never found out how he really felt for his best friend. Not that Steve felt that back, so nothing happened but still. Steve was just a good guy. He sits and tries not to drown in his thoughts.

Steve can’t believe Bucky just walked in on him like this. He feels so unattractive, so weak, and sickly. His mom had told him once that he was just a "late bloomer, but he was still a very handsome person that any girl would be "lucky to have", a sentiment that Bucky would back her up on. He never believed them, and without the serum he would have never "bloomed." To be fair, he also didn’t want "any girl". He just wanted Bucky. And he knows Bucky is not checking him out, why would he be? But if Bucky were to see him naked, he would have preferred it would have been in his serum enhanced body, strong and not so fragile.

He sighs to himself and goes back to what he was doing, looking for something, anything he could wear without it practically falling off him. It's hopeless, so he settles on a pair of boxers that happened to be too small prior to today, now having to roll the waistband to get them to stay up. As far as clothing though, he doesn’t even have a pair of sweatpants he could pull tight enough to prevent from falling off. He frowns to himself, knowing Bucky was a little smaller than him, not quite having the same muscle mass. Maybe he has at least a shirt he could wear and a pair of sweatpants he could pull tight. Bucky does have some pretty tight shirts he wears when he is working out. Steve begins automatically blushing, picturing the way they cling to his muscular chest after working out, before shaking his head back to the current moment.

Given the embarrassing situation that just occurred, he is a little apprehensive about asking. But he knows he has to, already feeling terribly cold in just these oversized boxers. He calls timidly from his room. "Buck?"

His voice snaps Bucky out of his thoughts, instinctively jumping to his feet to see what Steve needs. Walking in this time, he is met with Steve staring at the floor, obviously embarrassed, clad only in some comically large boxers and socks. He feels bad for his friend, who is clearly struggling with this. He tries to stay calm, not letting it show that he thinks Steve looks absolutely adorable...and fucking hot.

Honestly though, Bucky has thought Steve has looked hot, both when he was skinny and when he was muscular, but he has always had a soft spot for his pre-serum appearance, loving how perfectly Steve fit under his arm when he used to pull him close "to keep him warm." He is also very careful about not staring down at the boxers, knowing from accidental glimpses when they lived together in the tiny one bedroom tenement, that even before the serum, Steve was packing a lot more than you would think by looking at him. Bucky had spent countless nights picturing what it would feel like if it was inside of him, ultimately just hurting himself more with fantasies that would never come true.

Realizing quickly that he had been standing there awkwardly in silence, Bucky speaks up. "Um, what did you need pal?"

Steve refuses to look at him, Bucky understanding that this is definitely pretty hard for him. The blonde shyly asks "Um...all my clothes are too big. And um...I know you wear a slightly smaller size. Do you have anything that is tight on you that I could wear?"

Bucky lets out a small huff from his nose, smiling as he says, "Sure thing, give me one moment." Without another word, Bucky turns around and walks out of the room towards his own.

His thoughts have been in a constant struggle with themselves since this happened. He is worried beyond belief for Steve, and what this all means to him. Will he get sick again? Can he be changed back? Should he be changed back? Is it safe? But then a part of himself, a part that he hates, is so turned on by Steve right now, having not seen him like this in years. He is having feelings he has no right to have. He is always attracted to Steve (inside and out), it's always there, and punctuating all their interactions, even if Steve couldn't see it. He was head over heels for the man. But he hates that right now while Steve is in such emotional distress, that he had the nerve to still let his head wander into fantasies. He is appalled by himself and his fucked-up head.

As he reminds himself of his continued shortcomings, he grabs his tightest pair of pants, a pair of compression running leggings, the ones he usually wears underneath some of his other pants. He hopes the stretchiness of them means they are small enough to fit on Steve. He grabs a t-shirt he recently got that is too tight on him, never wearing it but buying it at a yard sale because he had to have it. It's a little embarrassing though, pretty sure Steve has not even seen it before. It was a Captain America shirt from the 80s with a fade shield across the front of it. Bucky had tried it on once, though it was too small for him to even justify it as a workout top.

He anxiously walks back to Steve’s room, trying to make up a lie about the shirt other than "I like it because it makes me think of you and sometimes I take it with me on missions so I can pretend you are with me." Luckily when he hands Steve the clothes, Steve only raises his brow for a second, before smiling and nodding in gratitude for the clothes. Bucky sees himself out Steve could get dressed.

After a little bit, Steve joins him out into the living room. Bucky has to hide a smile when he sees Steve in his clothes. The shirt is still too big for Steve and he can tell the pants must be pulled up high above his waist. Steve chooses not to acknowledge it, opting instead to sit down on the couch next to Bucky.

Steve doesn’t want things to be weird. Today has been weird enough, and the last thing he wants right now is his best friend being freaked out around him too. Steve, in the most casual voice he could muster says “Want to order a pizza and watch a movie?” His blue eyes stare, waiting as Bucky turns to look at him.

He simply replies “Sounds good, Stevie. I can call and you pick out the movie?” Steve nods before bending down to look at their collection of VHS tapes (they like those better than a million different streaming services.) He listens as Bucky orders, as he grabs their copy of Snow White. It always serves as a comfort, something connected to their time. He and Bucky went and seen it in the theater. Bucky had secretly saved a little extra to take Steve. Steve cherishes that memory, one of many.

Bucky for his part does everything in his power to not steal a glimpse of Steve’s ass in those leggings, scolding himself when he does anyways. Little does he know; Steve always takes any opportunity he can to check Bucky out.

Once the pizza arrives, they settle onto the couch, and watch the movie. The pizza box starts between them, on the middle cushion as they eat. But halfway through the movie, Bucky can see Steve is shivering, the apartment still too cold for him and his body, that was lacking the ability to properly circulate his blood. He says quietly “Stevie…do you…” he blushes, embarrassed for what he is about to ask, turning his cheeks pink. He reminds himself that it is for Steve’s good. He continues. “Do you want to…cuddle?” Steve gives him a questioning look, so he quickly adds. ‘Because you're cold. I can tell you are shivering, man. Like when we were kids, you can steal my body heat. I’m basically a human radiator.” He jokes, trying to lighten the mood.

But Steve, regardless, looks anxious as he tentatively nods, moving the pizza box to the floor as he scoots closer, moving very close to Bucky. He looks expectantly at the bigger man to raise his arm so he can press against him, hoping he doesn’t come off as desperate and weak. But Bucky smiles as he obliges, lifting his arm and pulling Steve to his side, arm fitting perfectly around him, like Bucky was made just for Steve. He wants to melt into the feeling. He wants Bucky to never let go.

Steve is careful to keep looking forward, to not let himself get distracted and drawn in by his friend. But it is hard. He has been in love with Bucky since he was 14 years old. He always walked a thin line between appreciating Bucky’s touch as a way to get warm, like when he was sick, or in the one bedroom tenement they were living in together didn’t have proper heat, and loving Bucky's touch as something more. Just wanting to feel Bucky's skin on his, even if it was a selfish little fantasy. But he always craved that touch. Even little things like when he would put his hand reassuringly on his shoulder, or when Bucky would playfully throw his arms around Steve.

But he noticed that since the serum, Bucky had touched him less. Less casually pulling him in by the shoulders and just walking with his arm around him, or climbing in bed to keep him warm. Obviously, he didn’t need that second one any more, but he was desperate for something. Anything. Sometimes he would just squeeze Bucky’s shoulder, or pat him on the back just to feel him. Sometimes when Bucky had a nightmare, Steve would hold him, but that was only because Bucky was scared. No joy in that touch. On rare occasions they would hug, and if he thought about it too long, he could swear something more was there.

Lost in his thoughts, he does not realize the movie has ended until Bucky yawns, snapping him out of his head. "Hey, Stevie I think I'm going to hit the hay. You should too, we are going down to see Bruce and Pepper early tomorrow. Night, man." Steve is still staring ahead but he feels Bucky start to untangle himself from him. As Bucky stands up, Steve does not want the sensation to end, not wanting to lose the touch he desperately needs, the only silver lining of this whole ordeal.

Without putting any thought into it, he reaches for the bottom hem of Bucky's shirt as the other man had turned to walk away. Bucky freezes as Steve hurriedly lets go of his shirt, feeling ridiculous. Steve whispers in a voice that is barely audible. "Can I sleep with you? I'm cold." He feels guilty, knowing he isn't saying the whole truth. He is cold but could have done with a pile of blankets, they aren't in the depression anymore with only one blanket each. This was 2024 and they are way better off now. But he wasn't ready to lose Bucky's touch again.

Bucky clears his throat, suddenly hard to breathe, lump forming before he can swallow it down. Steve wants to sleep with him and Bucky wants this so bad. But he has to remind himself that this is for Steve to stay warm, not because he wanted him. His love fogged mind coupled with his own self-dislike, prevented him from putting together that Steve had blankets to keep him warm. He looks back to Steve, whose face seems torn by something, maybe guilt? Bucky didn’t want his friend to feel guilty so he finally replies. "Of course, Stevie."

Steve’s eyes light up for a moment before he reminds himself not to be so…obvious. Bucky thinks he saw something but plays it off as Steve being relieved over Bucky not making this situation any more awkward. He watches Steve smile shyly as he gets off the couch silently, ready to follow him to his bedroom, so he leads the way.

Once in there, Steve just crawls into bed like it was nothing. He figured he might as well rip the bandage off and just do it. He stays completely dressed because he really was freezing in the apartment. Bucky on the other hand was extremely warm, not used to sleeping with the heat on so high. He doesn’t know how uncomfortable Steve would be if he slept in his boxers but decides to do it anyways. It would be more suspicious of him not to. He knows Steve isn’t dumb and has to realize that he would be extremely warm in these temperatures.

So, Bucky slides out of his sweatpants and T-shirt, throwing them into his hamper. Steve tries his hardest not to watch, turning on his side to avert his eyes. He pretends to be preparing to fall asleep, but, in reality, he is attempting to bargain with his heart to not pound right out of his chest and fly away. They haven’t slept together in more than 80 years, not since before the war.

While Steve is busy forcing himself to pretend to try and fall asleep, Bucky sneaks a look over at the blanket, letting himself smile at the lump under the hidden beneath, blonde hair peeking out. He makes his way over to the other side of his full-sized bed and slides in under the covers. It feels like the most normal thing in the world, like things are more normal than they have been in a long time. He reaches over, turning out the light, before scooting close to Steve. Again, he reminds himself that he is just helping him stay warm. He pulls Steve’s back against his chest, wrapping his arm over his hip. For a moment, Bucky wonders if he is over doing it, if this is too far for Steve.

Steve forgets how to breathe for a moment when he feels himself pressed against Bucky’s body so tightly. He worries he may have an asthma attack. He doesn’t remember them ever being so close, well when they were awake that is. Usually they would only get like this in their sleep. Steve remembers one particular time when he was 19, when he woke up in this position, with the still sleeping brunette’s morning wood pressed against his ass. He had to force himself out of bed and into a cold shower after that. All of this is to say that his position really did something to him, and it took all his energy to keep his breath steady.

They lay in the dark, quietly like this for a while. For all of Steve’s worry, and all of Bucky’s self-doubt over this, both men were content. Both men lie together, keeping their secrets, but cherishing this moment. They lay for a long while before it is obvious that neither man is sleeping. It may be subtle, but it was impossible to not feel the electricity that filled the air around them and every space in between them. It was an energy that has been there for a while. It was something that should have been obvious from the start if it weren’t for the fact that both of them were painfully oblivious.

Steve shifts in the bed, turning so he is facing Bucky. Even in the dark, Bucky could see the light blue tones that make up Steve's eyes. He would be lying if he didn't admit they were the most beautiful things he has ever seen. He has been around the world, has seen so many beautiful things, He has seen sparkling oceans, the large majestic sweeping expanses that surrounded Wakanda, tall, purple mountains throughout Europe, but nothing he could think of could make him feel the way he felt whenever he stared into Steve's eyes.

There are some things he has never admitted to Steve about his time as the Winter Soldier. One of these things being that every so often, he was able to bust through, have a moment of clarity before frozen again. In those moments of clarity, he would think of these eyes, of being home. Staring into Steve's eyes, whether Steve was hulking and muscular, or skinny and small, felt like home to him.

Seeing him like this, back to the way he was prior to war has reminded Bucky that beneath all the bravado and responsibility that came with Captain America, he was still Steve. His Stevie. He knew that though, but he has been so wrapped up in guilt for all Steve has done for him, as well as countless atrocities he has committed as the Winter Soldier, he had refused to think about it. Refused to get comfortable. Refused to just be with Steve, always feeling less then, undeserving.

Steve was like the sun, bright and powerful. Bucky had always been content to be sucked into Steve’s gravitational pull. He felt like Steve was the reason he existed, giving him life. He was just a planet who was lucky enough to be pulled in by the sun. But the sun didn’t need the planet that revolved around it, and he always felt that at some level, Steve didn’t need him. He was afraid that if he tried to be more than a planet, wanting more from the sun, Steve could easily destroy him, reject him.

But Steve has been there all along for him, never changing. Bucky had fallen all those years ago, losing his sun, ripping through space aimlessly. The sun had fought, got himself trapped in ice in the name of his planet. Waking up in the future, getting new planets, people finally seeing what Bucky had seen all along in Steve. But as soon as Steve saw that his planet was alive, he was willing to rip his new galaxy apart like it was nothing, to pull his first little planet back in.

Steve had always loved Bucky, and Bucky had been so wrapped up in the fear of losing his sun, that he never let himself appreciate that. Maybe...maybe it was okay for Bucky to want more out of their friendship...because maybe Steve wanted more.

He doesn't know what makes him do it, but he reaches towards Steve's face, and rests his flesh hand on the golden-haired man's face. Both lay perfectly still for a few seconds before Steve closes his and lets out an anguished sigh. When they open back up, Bucky sees a tear running down Steve’s face, worry is coating his features, his brow scrunched up in a way that Bucky just wants to reach up and smooth out. In a soft voice, the brunette asks "Stevie....what is it...."

Steve closes his eyes again, taking a pained sigh as he moves his own hand softly over the hand resting on his face, doing his best to hold on for a moment longer before he comes clean. "I don't want you to hate me..."

Bucky feels his chest tensing up, not knowing what could have prompted Steve to say that. "What makes you think I could ever hate you? I don't think that is possible. " Bucky replies truthfully.

"It’s...just..." Steve takes a deep breath, before sitting up and staring down at Bucky. Bucky frowns at the loss of contact before sitting up as well, facing the blonde who looked like he might break if Bucky stared too hard. He continues, "It's just, I didn’t need you to keep me warm, Buck."

"What?" Bucky stares back, genuine confusion on his face.

"We have plenty of blankets now, I would have been fine in my own bed. But since this happened, earlier I hated it. I hated feeling small again, weak and sickly. But...there was some good. You...you were holding onto me again, like you would when we were younger….and I missed feeling your arms around me. " Steve is blushing like crazy. "And when we were on the couch, it felt so good for you to be holding onto me, and so I lied. I didn’t want it to end...so I told you I needed you to keep me warm. I'm so sorry, Buck. You must think I'm a freak." Steve takes a deep breath, steadying himself, before pulling the covers off, readying himself to stand up. He stutters "I'm going to go to my own room now…I'd appreciate it if you never bring this up again. I am so sorry."

Bucky is confused, trying to put together what is happening. Before he could respond, Steve had shuffled out of his room, leaving him alone.

Steve drops onto his bed, mortified at himself. He really was pathetic, too scared to even stay and find out the fall out of what he has done. He just admitted to his best friend that he lied to him and used him all because of he wanted to be touched. He wishes he didn’t have this weird crush on him. But he does and for him it has always been Bucky, and probably will always be. It wasn't fair to push that on Bucky, though. He buries himself in blankets, dreading what the morning will bring.

He lays there for a few minutes, mauling over what will happen. Will Bucky move out? Will he not talk to anymore? Did he just mess up everything? All the worse scenarios play in his mind like a horror movie. He feels a tear run down his face and he just lets it happen. Soon tears are covering his pillow,the dam broken, his body shaking. He feels like he will never stop, terrified he just lost his best friend.

He is so wrapped up in his own mess, he doesn't hear the door opening. But then he feels the nattress shift as someone gets inside the covers on the other side. He doesn't turn his head, afraid that he is just imagining it, that he is going to lose whatever is there if he looks. But then he hears "Hey Stevie…I'm cold."

Steve’s head is spinning, what is going on. He finally gets the nerve to turn around, finding a beautiful brunette, his Bucky, smiling at him. "Buck….what are you doing?"

He softly replies "I just told you, I'm cold and need someone to cuddle with, is that okay?"

Steve can’t help the smile that comes to his face as the last few rebel tears fall. Something tells him that the shirtless man in front of him was in no way cold, but he plays along. "Yea, its alright. Will alway be alright…."

With that, Bucky pulls Steve into his arms, Steve’s head falling onto his chest as the other man holds him close. Both men able to fiy fall asleep.

Maybe not quite a confession yet, but its babysteps. As long as they keep moving forward,they could take their time getting there.

Mini Fanfic #536: We Love You, Ren! (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)

2:00a a.m. at Smash Mansion's Living Room.......

Ren: (Sitting on the Living Room's Sofa, Looking Down on the Floor in a Sad, Tired Manner) ('Sighs Heavily')..........

?????: Renny?

In a matter of seconds, Ren quickly looks up, turns around and see that the person who called his name was none other than one of his now official adopted mothers, Bayonetta, who is staring at her with concern in her eyes.

Ren: Oh! Uh....Hey, mom. What are you doing up so late?

Bayonetta: Wondering why the living room's light was on. What's wrong, sweetheart? Why are you up this late as well?

Ren: I was just uhh.... Enjoying the atmosphere so far. ('Heh') Pretty.... normal so far......

Bayonetta: (Crosses her Arms) Renny, please be honest with me, dear. I know something is wrong with you the moment I stepped down those stairs. Now tell me.... Did you had a bad dream tonight?

Ren: ('Sighs in Defeat') Yeah....I did....It was.... Pretty bad to say the least..... B-But I'm pretty sure it was stupid anyways.

Bayonetta: It doesn't matter to me if this dream of yours was stupid or not. (Made her way to the Sofa and Sat Right Next to Ren) What's important to me now is that dream in particular is bothering my baby boy to the point of waking up in the middle of the night.....And all I really want to do right now, as a mother, is to listen and help you the best way I can, but only if you talk to me about this. Please....

Ren: (Took a Deep Breath Before Speaking Again) Okay. So....I don't wanna go into too much detail the dream, but.....long story short, I....dreamt that.....you, other mom, Pit, Pitto, all of my friends from Shiyuba, and.....even everyone here......hates me.....That....you all said that....I was a nuisance......that I was in everyone's way.......a waste of space.....(Tears Start Falling Down on his Face) that you don't want anything to do with me anymore.....('Sniff') and then after that.....you all vanished...... leaving me.....('Sniff') in the dark..... alone.....

Bayonetta: (Immediately Hugs Ren in a Loving Matter) Oh my poor baby, I'm so sorry.....

Ren: (Chuckles Lightly....and Sadly) See? ('Sniff') I told you....('Sniff') The dream was stupid.

Bayonetta: Renny, no. It wasn't stupid at all. It is worrying me to no end now because what everyone of us said to you in that dream of yours is very FAR from the truth. We do not think of you a nuisance, a waste of space, or any other terrible things that version of us told you. You are our everything, Ren Amamiya!......And we love you...(Tears Fell Down Her Face) ('Sniff') We love you so so very much everyday......

Ren: (Immediately Hugs Bayonetta Back) H-Hey! Mom, don't cry! I believe you guys one hundred percent. I promise.

Bayonetta: I know you do, sweetheart, and I never doubted you for a second. ('Sniff') I just wanted to tell you that from the bottom of my heart.

Ren: And it definitely shows. It just that..... Honestly.... I'm not even sure what that dream came from. It's like....it just came out of nowhere and everything, you know?

Bayonetta: I can believe that. Dreams does work in mysterious ways after all. But if you ask me, I really want you to try your hardest not to let it get to you. (Gently Holds Ren's Hands) Because at the end of the day, no matter how many people would try and say otherwise, you, Ren Amimaya, mean so much to each and everyone of us in this mansion and in Shiyuba. Promise me you'll do your best to remember that for as long as you live.....(Kiss the Top of One of Ren's Hands) Okay?

Ren: (Smiles Softly While Using his Other Hand to Wipe the Tears Away) Yeah.......('Sniff') I promise. (Chuckles Lightly) Sorry you had to see me like that. Usually whenever I cry, it... mostly have to deal with me getting pulled to the edge. Emotionally speaking. Plus....I know you used to be annoyed with seeing people cry in general, so....

Bayonetta: "Annoyed" (Giggles Softly) Oho, sweetheart, trust me, I am way past being annoyed with it now. You seem to forget that your mother and I cry almost all the time nowadays. It's a miracle I don't have that much masscara on tonight. My face would be a complete mess.

Ren: Are you kidding? With and without any masscara or make-up, you and goddess mom would always be beautiful to me. Inside and out.

Bayonetta: (Heart Begins to Melt Happily as She Gives Ren a Big Kiss on the Cheek) I love you so much, Renny. I know I may have technically already told you this a lot tonight, but it's the honest truth.

Ren: (Smiles Softly) I know. And I love you and everyone in my life too, mom. Always.

Bayonetta: (Smiles Softly as She Got Up from the Sofa) So, you are going to be okay now, my dear?

Ren: I going to be okay now that you were here to talk to me. I appreciate it a lot.

Bayonetta: Well, if that's the case......(Picks Ren Up From the Couch, Holding him in a Bridal Carry)

Ren: (Confused) Huh?

Bayonetta: I believe it's high time we head ourselves back to bed, no? (Head Upstairs While Holding Ren in her Arms)

Ren: Yeah, but.....You do know that I can just walk up to my room on my own, right?

Bayonetta: True. But right now, you are going to sleep with your two mommies for the rest of the night.

Ren: (A bit Surprised) Seriously? Are you....sure you want me to sleep with you guys for the night

Bayonetta: (Smiles Softly) Of course I'm sure, my little ray of sunshine. I wanna make absolute sure you have a peaceful sleep tonight. And if it means having you sleep right beside your mother and I, then so be it.

Ren: (Smiles Softly Again) You know, I know said this before, but...you guys really are good moms.

And with that, Bayonetta begins to lovingly gives Ren a bunch of kisses, all while making their way to her and Palutena's room.

Bayonetta and Palutena's Room...

Palutena: (Already Fast Asleep) 'Zzzzzzzzz'

Bayonetta: (Whispers into Palutena's Ear) Pauuuuliiie~

Palutena: (Slowly and Tiredly Begins to Walk) Bayo..... what's- (Turns to see Bayonetta Carry-on Ren in her Arms) Ren? What's going on here?

Bayonetta: Well, as you see, our baby boy here has gotten himself a terrible dream. So I figured that he would be sleeping with us for the rest of the night. (Gently Places Ren on the Bed Right Beside Palutena)

Ren: But only if you're okay with this.

Palutena: (Gives Ren a Tired Yet Soft Smiles) Renny, of course I'm okay with this you sleeping here tonight. (Hugs Ren Lovingly) You are our son now and we would do anything in our power to be there for you no matter.

Bayonetta: (Whispers to Ren with a Smirk on her Face While She Lays Down on her Side of the Bed) Told you so~

Ren: (Chuckles Lightly) I know. I know. But really, other mom, thanks. (Gives Palutena a Kiss on Top of her Forehead) I love you.

Palutena: (Gives Ren a Big Kiss on the Cheek) I love you too, Renny.

???: Moms?

Bayonetta: (Turns to see Pit and Dark Pit Standing Besides Her and Palutena's Doorway) Pit? Pitto? What's wrong, our darlings?

Pit: We were just looking for- (Eyes Widened as He Sees his New Big Brother is Already on the Bed with Palutena and Bayonetta) Ren!

Ren: (Waves at Pit and Dark Pit) Hey, guys. What's up?

Dark Pit: Dude, we were looking for you all night.

Pit: (Frowns Worryingly) You wasn't at your bed at the time. So we got up and look for you just so we can try and help.

Dark Pit: (Frowns a Little) You had a bad dream again?

Ren: Yeah, but I'll be fine. Witch mom helped me through it.

Bayonetta: (Proudly Nodded)

Dark Pit: Huh. Well, if that's the case then-

Pit: Can we sleep with you guys for the night? We wanna make sure our big bro is okay.

Dark Pit: (Turns to Pit) Dude, he just said that he's-

Palutena: (Smiles Softly) Of course, sweetie. You two are always welcome to sleep here.

Bayonetta: (Giggles Softly) The more the merrier.

Pit: (Smiles Brightly) Sweet! (Happily Makes his Way to his Mothers' Bed) Make room for us.

Dark Pit: (Sighs in Defeat as He Follows Along) Whatever.

Pit: (Lays Next to Ren and Palutena on His Side) Goodnight, Ren.

Dark Pit: (Lays Next to Ren and Bayonetta on his Side) Try to rest easy, alright? Highly doubt that any of us are ain't anywhere out if this bed.....

Ren: (Chuckles Lightly) Sure thing, man. I love you guys.

Pit: We love you too, bro.

And with that, the entire family peaceful went back to sleep together.

Bonus

Next Morning.......

Ren was busy watching television in the living room, when suddenly......

'Doorbell Rang'

Ren: (Made his Way to the Door)

'Door Opens'

Makoto: (Standing in the Doorway with a Very Worried Look on Her Face).....

Ren: (Smiles Softly at Makoto) Hey. You're finally here-

Makoto: Oh, Ren....(Immediately Hugs Ren Lovingly) I got your message and I am so sorry you had to go through with that last night.

Ren: Makoto.

Makoto: I understand that dreams in general can be terrifying most of the time, but it isn't something you could let it get the better of you. No matter how traumatizing it may be at times.

Ren: Makooooto.

Makoto: ('Sniff') And I know I already told you this before and everything, but I wholeheartedly mean it when I say that each and everyone of us loves you with all of our-

Ren: (Gently Pulls Away From Makoto's Embrace while Having his Hands on Both of her Shoulders) Makoto, honey, I'm gonna be fine. Don't worry.

Makoto: (A Little Bit Skeptical and Worried) Are you absolutely sure?

Ren: (Smiles Softly) Yeah. (Kiss the top of Makoto's Forehead) I promise. Mom helped me through it last night.

Makoto: Witch or Goddess?

Ren: Witch. (Chuckles Lightly) Ironically enough, dhe almost said the exact same thing you were about to say to me last night

Makoto: (Blushes a Little) W-Well, it's the honest truth! We love you so much, Ren Amimaya. You mean the world us and I'll be more than happy to tell you that every single day if I have to.

Ren: (Chuckles Lightly) Wouldn't mind that for second. Cause I love you guys too. (Hugs Makoto Again) Thanks for coming by here and keeping me company.

Makoto: (Happily Hugs Ren Back) You don't need to thank me, Ren-Ren. I'm always here for you, now matter what. Remember?

Ren: Clearly. So uhh.....You wanna go to the living, binge watch some anime shows, and cuddle the entire day away.

Makoto: (Giggles Softly) I'd love that.

all the top gun Kids™️

i have decided to answer this for all of my top gun faves, i apologize in advance if this is not what you meant lol

maverick mitchell

listen you already know i love maverick mitchell but i Really Really Love Maverick Mitchell with all my heart and i HATE that people refuse to see him for the three-dimensional character that he is (and that tom played him as). he’s determined and confident and has every right to be, he’s a badass pilot, but i love his character arc about learning how to be a team player. i LOVE his relationship with goose and carole and baby!bradley (and ice, in any capacity) and i am so ready for said relationships to Destroy me in the sequel. (also when mav is Sad i am Sad, and it looks like he has had even more to be sad about btwn tg1 and tg2. what happened to you mav. what did they do to you. mcq if u do not give this man a happy ending a hug and some therapy i swear to GOD-)

iceman kazansky

the fact that ice is as much of an ensemble darkhorse / breakout character has everything to do with val kilmer (whom i also love) being a fantastic actor, bc lets be real the script did not give him a lot to work with here. i love his hair and his face and his very pretty eyes (whose color i can STILL not discern after many rewatches) and his absolutely warranted confidence in himself (and as a pilot). i love that he isn’t afraid to call mav out for being unsafe (srsly, he is the Only Sane Man in this entire movie) but appreciates mav’s outside the box / ‘dangerous’ thinking as his wingman. he’s got a big heart (as evidenced by the 'i’m sorry about goose’ scene) behind those ice cold walls, and i cannot WAIT to see how his relationship with mav has grown by the time the sequel is finally released. give me respected admiral iceman kazansky or give me death. if they kill ice off i AM disowning canon mcq, do you hear me.

goose bradshaw

i love goose SO FUCKING MUCH, every bit of him, from the not-at-all-regulation mustache to the bad jokes to the country-fried southern vibe to the singing and piano-playing to how much he respects and cares about mav (and how much mav respects and cares about him in return). his relationship with carole is my favorite thing on this entire earth, followed closely by his relationship with mav and also his relationship with ice. (like ice really respects goose and vice versa, and they clearly knew each other pre-canon, and one of the few times ice smiles genuinely in the movie is at goose - i really wish canon gave us more goose&ice, there’s so much to analyze there.) his death scene makes me tear up every time.

carole bradshaw

carole is the BEST. actual ray of sunshine in human form and also a fashion icon. i adore her optimism and kindness, even in literally the worst times, and i especially love how much she adores goose and mav. forever bitter that they didn’t recast meg ryan to play her in the sequel though i’m sure jean louisa kelly will do a good job bringing carole to the big screen. (NOT a fan of the fact that it looks like she and mav and bradley by extension haven’t spoken in a long time and i Demand an explanation, even if it’s angsty.)

bradley bradshaw / rooster

last we saw bradley he was a little kid who clearly worshipped his dad and by the time the top gun 2 trailer rolled around, he’s the spitting image of his father, serious and determined to make a name for himself (with possible authority issues like young!mav, given he’s still a lieutenant in his late thirties). i am very excited to meet him, and i’m also super excited to see his relationships with phoenix and the other pilots, and with jean louisa kelly’s carole bradshaw. (if bradley is playing great balls of fire on the piano in that one clip in the trailer i am going to just. straight up drop dead.)

speaking of the trailers it’s clear bradley holds a serious grudge towards mav - “my dad believed in you, i’m not gonna make the same mistake” GOD. what happened btwn mav and bradley? what happened to their relationship?? (who taught him to blame mav for his dad’s death bc i hope to god it wasn’t carole - i’m leaning toward jon hamm’s character bc he seems like an asshole who does not like mav, or maybe even mav just refusing to correct bradley’s assumption bc he blames himself too.) anyway, PLEASE tell me bradley realizes he’s being an asshole by blaming mav for his dad’s death and works on repairing their relationship (and works through his own grief as well).

phoenix

one of the people i am most excited to meet in the sequel! i don’t know anything about her besides the info from a 2017 casting call describing her as a “fierce pilot, gifted leader, kind of a loner, eager to prove herself, who falls for bradley aka rooster,” but that is enough to make me Very Excited to meet her - ESPECIALLY if the bradley/phoenix is going to be set up like icemav, which i have a strong suspicion it’s going to be, complete with height difference. (phoenix: *does anything*, bradley: top me top me top me.) also, a potential mav&phoenix father/daughter relationship????? Sign Me The Fuck Up. this movie is just going to end with me in tears and with custody of seven or eight new children.

fritz

listen apparently he is just a cryptid because we only know his name and i THOUGHT he was gonna be a main character since he was one of the first to get named, but we have only seen him on the periphery of some scenes in the trailers, even after all this time, so now i kinda doubt it. but he is played by the gorgeous manny jacinto and he and bradley sat near each other once so i am assuming they are friends in some way, and also my headcanon of him as amy santiago trapped in the body of jason mendoza has made me love him very much. pls don’t kill him, canon. also pls @ manny and mcq and kosinski give me SOMETHING to work with here lmao.

hangman

look. i know mcq and co are probably going to set up hangman vs rooster to be like mav vs ice, enemies/rivals to friends, but honestly, i’m not all that here for it??? i do like that from his callsign alone, hangman is probably going to be a darker version of ice (less kind, more focused on the job, maybe more like charlie than like ice if that makes any sense at all) and his rivalry with bradley is already clearly a lot more heated than mav’s ever was with ice. anyway, glen powell is an excellent actor, so let’s hope he makes hangman a 3d character in his own right and not just an iceman expy.

payback, fanboy, and bob

i’m already lowkey shipping payback/fanboy and i love bob for looking like a dorky 21st century radar o’reilly, but honestly, not super on the edge of my seat to meet these guys. i do want to know whose WSO bob is - my guess is phoenix’s since they were sitting next to each other at one point, but he could also be hangman’s - and my worry is that since he’s the only named WSO right now, they could very well Pull A Goose and kill him off in a training accident. (i hope not since i don’t want a complete canon redux, but it would definitely be angsty.)

put a fictional character in my ask box and i’ll rate them accordingly

#thanks for asking!#top gun #top gun: maverick #top gun 2 #top gun maverick #rochc93 #i'm so sorry for the length of this response lmao #apparently i have way too many feelings about my faves

Send 💞 and my muse will say something nice about your muse

Five months after that rainy day on the mountain side, the family had went to the Yukon so John could try his luck in the final year of the Klondike Gold Rush. John had returned home to the cabin late at night, Abigail and Jack were already asleep, but Itsuki had waited up to greet John upon his return with her smile like always.

After getting settled in, they sat together in the small dining room while John ate the leftovers Abigail had saved for him earlier. Despite the new scenery, it didn’t seem like Itsuki was still truly happy, she wore a smile, but he knew what was always on her mind. Arthur. A loss they had both suffered from, but as much as it hurt John, he knew that it had effected Itsuki even more given that he was the one who saved her, just like he saved him.

He finished his food, pushed his empty bowl of stew aside and tuned to face the little girl.

[{ ☠ }] - “Listen, Itty. I know you ain’t really all that happy as ya seem.” He begins, his sentence would cause a curious tilt of her head, so he continued.

[{ ☠ }] - “I know you still miss him sweetie, I do too.” He rests a hand gently on her shoulder.

[{ ☠ }] - “But look at how far you’ve come from that Itty, five months and you can still smile, an’ you’re still tryin’ your best t’cheer Jack up even when you’re still hurtin’ yourself. You’re such a brave and strong lil’ gal, we all love ya.”

[{ ☠ }] - “I’m proud of ya Itty, and so would he be. An together all of us, we’re gonna live the life he wanted us to have. an because your bein’ so strong, we’re already a couple steps closer ta that.” After that, he gently pulled her into a hug, but after they softly pulled back, John reached into his satchel and took out’s Arthur’s hat and plopped it on Itsuki’s head.

[{ ☠ }] - “Looks much more better on you.” He smiles.

[{ ☠ }] - “Ya wear this, an he’ll always be there with ya.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Send 💖 and my muse will say something nice about you, the mun

With a cigarette in his hand, John casually made his approach, offering a mannerly tip of his hat as he stopped in front of her. He took the final drag of his smoke before tossing it to the ground and crushing it with his boot.

[{ ☠ }] - “Miss Beckowsky was it? John Marston, a pleasure t’finally meet’cha.”

[{ ☠ }] - “Heard a bit about ya from an old friend, I reckon ya know ‘em, said a lotta good, But I’ve seen it for myself on the sidelines too.”

[{ ☠ }] - “Yer quite the young woman miss Beckowsky. Mighty kind, real friendly, strong, welcomin’ and a loyal friend, an’ you’re always willin’ t’help. Ain’t much people like that nowadays..”

He offers a friendly smile.

[{ ☠ }] - “You got a heart of gold Miss Beckowsky. You’re a good woman, one of the best, don’t let any sour folk out there make ya think or tell ya otherwise. The world could use more folk as kind as you.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Send 💘 and the mun will say something nice about your muse

I always thought It was sad how underrated of a character Itsuki was in the Sengoku Basara series I personally thought she was a cute little snowball of joy. And for a twelve year old girl to fight for her village all alone is impressive, it would be scary for any other child, but not only is she adorable, but she’s a brave and tough little snow cookie. And you bring out all the things that make her such a great and amazing character who I truly wish got more attention. I stand by what I said about your Itsuki being a ray of sunshine. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Send 💕 and the mun will say something nice about you, the mun

Becks. Honestly I have a lot I could say about you, some of it you’ve probably heard me say to you before haha.

But gosh, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone as openly welcoming as you. I’m so glad we were able to click so easily as friends as started talking more. You’re easy to talk to, incredibly super kind, a very talented writer. A truly amazing artist and a very helpful person. The fact you were willing to lend a hand to me with icons when we didn’t talk too much at the time. It may seem small, but it really did mean a lot for you to go through all the trouble of making me icons when you were so busy with work and such.

I’m happy that we’re beginning to talk more, I’ve enjoyed all of our talks so far and definitely look forward to getting to know you more each time we talk. We all know, Tumblr can have its good share of unsavory people out there who like to cause drama and no one needs that. You are truly a rare treasure to find on here and I’m glad we met. I hope you have a wonderful day/evening! :)

Playboy Minho with a heart of gold and cool gadgets? Hell yes

The playboy thing is really just an act. It keeps up his billionare persona, and he plays it well. Keeps everyone distracted from the fact that he’s obviously the super hero with expensive gadgets and suits and cars and planes and boats that could only ever be afforded by him.

But Minho has been cold and jaded for a very long time. Much like Taemin, Minho got his super powers of super strength and flight from the incident that killed his parents. A criminal had dumped toxic waste on his parents so he could rob them. It had killed his parents, but Minho breathed in the vapor, and it messed with his insides. And the whole incident messed with his head for a very long time.

But then he found Taemin. His parents had been run off the road by a common villain just because they were the latest victims. Taemin had been in the backseat. They crashed into a toxic waste dump site, and Taemin only just barely escaped. He saw his parents die as well, breathed in vapor similar to Minho, and he was scared and hurting and ran.

Minho was still cold when he first took Taemin in, but Taemin naturally was a ray of sunshine. Once he opened up to Minho, he was all smiles and giggles. It was contagious. He easily wormed his way into minho’s heart, made him lighten up, gave him something to really care about.

And Taemin was still traumatized. Still didn’t quite understand what was happening to him, why his parents had to die, why any of this was happening. Minho helped him find closure. Trained him with his new powers and allowed him to help him find the man responsible for his parents’ deaths and bring him to justice. That’s what really helped Taemin get a bit back to himself. To see a little boy with a constant frown and to hear him have nightmares every night was breaking minho’s heart. Taemin is still sad sometimes - Minho would be more surprised if he wasn’t - and he still does have nightmares some nights, but Minho is always there to make it better.

He knows he’s really gained Taemin’s trust when he comes to Minho’s room for comfort after a nightmare. It’s about a month after he took Taemin in. It was three in the morning, Minho only got back from patrol about half an hour ago, and he was on his bed with his laptop going over work emails to prepare for the day ahead. Taemin was standing in Minho’s doorway, clutching a stuffed elephant, tears still lingering in his eyes.

“Meen-o,” Taemin whispers.

“Hi bud,” Minho says softly, sitting up straighter. “What’s wrong?”

“Had a bad dream,” Taemin says, his voice cracking.

Minho’s still not entirely confident in taking care of a child. He’s almost afraid he might break Taemin if he does something wrong. But his new ward was standing there shaking and upset and Minho couldn’t just send him back to bed.

“Do you,” Minho stutters, clearing his throat. “Do you want to stay in here for the rest of the night?”

Taemin immediately bolts towards the bed and climbs in to huddle against Minho’s side. Minho fixes the blankets so they’re tucked around Taemin’s shoulders, and he gives him a smile that he hopes is reassuring.

Minho goes back to quietly typing on his laptop, and Taemin blinks slowly while he looks at the screen. One of his hands slowly wraps around Minho’s arm, and Minho can’t help but smile again.

“Why’re you workin’ so late?” Taemin asks.

“Because I have some important emails that I need to get out before everyone comes in this morning,” Minho says.

“Are you gonna sleep?”

“In a little bit,” Minho says softly. “Will you be able to sleep?”

“Mmhmm,” Taemin hums, his eyes closed and his head burrowing into Minho’s arm.

By four in the morning, Minho puts his laptop on the night stand, turns off the lamp, and checks on Taemin. He’s sleeping soundly, cuddled against Minho’s side. Minho sinks down so he can put his head on the pillows, and Taemin stirs a bit.

“It’s okay,” Minho whispers. “You can go back to sleep.”

Taemin mumbles something, cuddles closer to Minho, but otherwise doesn’t wake up. Minho thinks it’s sweet.

“Goodnight, Taeminnie,” Minho whispers, fixing the blankets around him again.

“G’night, Batman.”

Minho is a bit startled by the mumbled whisper that left Taemin’s mouth, but he just smiles. Taemin is really turning him soft. Maybe it’s not such a bad thing.

#taemin #shinee #minho #hello anon #super bats au

the only mcr songs i’ve listed to r black parade and na na na na na but u make me wanna listen to them lol do u have any suggestions? what r ur favorite songs of theirs?

Oh boy. Alright. Ok. Everybody sit down, we’re about to have a masterclass in everything MCR.

The thing about My Chemical Romance is they’re a concept album band, which means each of their albums tell a story as a whole. For that reason, I can’t just recommend my personal favourite songs because they’re all part of a big whole. I’ll do my best to break them down in order of personal preference.

TL;DNR: For those of you who don’t have all day to scroll through full album analyses:

My Faves:

(Absolute all time faves are in bold; *** indicate I love these songs too much for my own good and I must be stopped.)

Miscellaneous:

Fake Your Death

Common People (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Pulp cover)

***Hazy Shade of Winter***

Happy Together*

*these last two are just Gerard Way covers, but considering they’re featuring Ray Toro, that’s half the band right there…

The Black Parade

Concept: A man known as The Patient dies and accounts his life and death, dealing with his struggles with war and disease, and his fears about where he’s going to go in the afterlife.

Track Listing:

The end.

Dead!

This is How I Disappear

Sharpest Lives

Welcome to the Black Parade

I Don’t Love You

House of Wolves

Cancer

Mama

Sleep

Teenagers

Disenchanted

Famous Last Words

Blood

The whole album is honestly so good. It’s worth a listen from start to finish at least once. I’ve got absolutely no bad things to say about the songs that aren’t my faves, as they’re equally as explosive as everything else. That said…

Personal Faves:

Mama

Teenagers

Cancer

Famous Last Words

Welcome to the Black Parade

Dead!

Disenchanted

If you want the stuff that’ll psych you up/empower you, go for Welcome to the Black Parade, Teenagers, Famous Last Words, Mama, and Dead. If you want some real sad shit, go for Cancer, Disenchanted, and I Don’t Love You. I have yet to find out how to not weep all the way through WttBP, Famous Last Words, or Cancer, so you have been warned.

Dip your Toe in the Water With…

Welcome to the Black Parade

Teenagers

Famous Last Words

Things to Keep in Mind

Mama’s got an extra special guest appearance by one Liza Minnelli, and oh man, is it absolutely worth checking out. Next to Welcome to the Black Parade, this one might just be the most theatrical song in the entire album??? Bold statement, but I like to call it the Bohemian Rhapsody of MCR. It’s SO. GOOD.

Blood is the hidden track at the end of the album. There’s about 2 minutes of silence in the original album before it starts. If you want the version without the false start, nab the version from The Black Parade is Dead live album.

If you’re madly in love with this album, you can find their Black Parade concert live in Mexico, The Black Parade is Dead for free on their youtube channel. Throw it up on your tv screen and it’s like you’re there in person.

B-Sides

Kill All Your Friends

Heaven Help Us

My Way Home is Through You

All the Black Parade B-sides are great, but Kill All Your Friends is the real standout (and has the biggest connection to Umbrella Academy, if that excites you reference-wise).

Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge

Concept: This is a bit of a split narrative, partially a loving tribute following Gerard and Mikey Way’s grandmother’s passing, and partially a revenge plot. The full plot Gee had in mind took a bit of a backseat after they shifted focus on the grief side of things, but the full original concept is worth the price of admission either way. The revenge plot follows a man who makes a deal with the devil to reunite with his lost lover, if he can collect 1,000 evil souls. He sets out on his murder quest and finally reunites with the woman he loves, only to find she never loved him. He vows to take her down with him, but discovers he’s the 1,000th soul.

Track Listing:

Interlude

Thank You for the Venom

Hang 'Em High

It’s Not a Fashion Statement, It’s a Deathwish

Cemetery Drive

I Never Told You What I Do for a Living

This one is loud and dark, and fast as fuck. I use it almost exclusively as workout music because it will make you want to punch everything in the face. You wanna feel like you could take down all your enemies at once? Listen to this album. This one’s a lot easier to break down in terms of listening to songs here and there instead of all at once.

I’m Not Ok (I Promise)

Ghost of You

Things to Keep in Mind

Helena is essentially what got the band off the ground. The music video is really something and really set the tone for what early 2000s emo culture would become. If I didn’t love The Black Parade as much as I did, I’d recommend starting with Helena above everything else.

The Ghost of You music video is also a masterpiece. Gerard went to his director and asked for Saving Private Ryan, and that’s what he got! This video also happened to come out around the same time Green Day’s Wake Me Up When September Ends video came out and Gee was worried the anti-war rethorics in both would be too similar, but Billie Joe Armstrong sat him down and gave him a pep talk about how even though their concepts are similar, they’re always going to be coming at it in different ways.

If you want to get a really solid insight into where the band came from, see the boys goofing off, and see how Gerard’s struggles with mental health and addiction drives so much of what he does, check out Life on the Murder Scene, also free on youtube. It also gives a brief sneaky peek about early days concepts for the Umbrella Academy comics!

Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys

Concept: In a post-apocalyptic California in 2019(!!!), four rebels who call themselves the Killjoys (Party Poison, Fun Ghoul, Kobra Kid, and Jet-Star) set out to recover a young girl from the evil corporation, BL/ind. Their progress is narrated by Dr. Death Defy, a radio dj who maintains public morale in an otherwise gloomy new world where electricity is a rare commodity and people worship at the hands of Destroya, a giant dormant robot expected to deliver everyone from evil.

Track Listing:

Look Alive, Sunshine

Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

Bulletproof Heart

SING

Planetary (GO!)

The Only Hope For Me Is You

Jet-Star And The Kobra Kid/Traffic Report

Party Poison

Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back

S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W

Summertime

DESTROYA

The Kids From Yesterday

Goodnite, Dr. Death

Vampire Money

This album is radically different than the others in that it’s much mellower. The songs are interspersed with narrative interludes by Dr. Death Defy to better explain the storyline. Danger Days came after one scrapped compilation album (which I’ll get to soon enough…) At this point, Gee’s comic career had started to take off with Umbrella Academy, and things had started to naturally wind down with the band. Gee’s mindspace was clearly in comic-mode, and he upcycled a comic book idea he had kicking around with a comic writer friend of his, Shaun Simon for the new album. After the band’s breakup, Gerard took whatever concepts they couldn’t realize through the lyrics and music videos back to Shaun Simon to make a Killjoys comic. Much of the concept backstory explained above is pulled from this.

Personal Faves:

Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

Bulletproof Heart

SING

Planetary [GO!]

The Only Hope For Me Is You

Party Poison

Vampire Money

This is the album where I tend to get bored halfway through and switch over to The Black Parade (whoops…) But it is 100% worth listening to it from start to finish, again, at least once, if anything, because Destroya and Vampire Money are something else… Bulletproof Heart, SING, and The Only Hope for Me Is You are, at least in my opinion, the standouts of the more mellow songs. S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W, Summertime, and The Kids From Yesterday are also super mellow if you’re into the vibe of the previous three and want more of that.

Planetary Go! is… possibly one of my favourite MCR songs of all time??? (Considering how much I love The Black Parade, that’s a pretty bold statement). It’s the only dance track they ever made, and is it ever a Bop. This is one of my go-to’s when I just need to take a break from whatever’s stressing me out and have a silly little dance party.

Dip Your Toe in the Water With:

Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

SING

Planetary [Go!]

The Only Hope for me is You

Bulletproof Heart

Things to Keep In Mind:

Danger Days is an incredibly visual album! You really need the music videos to get the whole story. Na Na Na and SING tell the whole story pretty succinctly.

If you’re really feeling that cliffhanger from the end of the SING music video, check out the Killjoys comics. It’s a single volume under the same name as the album, following The Girl a few years after the music videos’ timeline.

S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W was inspired by Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds by the Beatles, which really speaks to the overall vibe of the song.

Something I literally just discovered now, looking up the album, there’s an EP of basically fight scene tracks off a special edition of Danger Days called The Mad Gear and Missile Kid. I’ve not listened to them yet, but from the looks of things, it’s got a pure punk rock vibe and they’re apparently what the band imagined the killjoys listened to on the road.

Fun trivia that I personally get a kick out of: Vampire Money was written out of spite after Gerard refused to contribute a song to the New Moon soundtrack for Twilight (Stephenie Meyer was a huge MCR fan and approached them numerous times to get involved in the films).

Conventional Weapons

Here it is! The scrapped compilation album! These songs were written pre-Danger Days and were presented at a concert in Japan, at which point, Gerard realized it wasn’t the sound they were after and it was promptly nixed. It’s a real shame, because there are some jams up in here, but at least they (or their record label, I can’t remember which at this point) eventually did decide to release the full “album” in 5 two-single EPs at a time.

Number One:

Boy Division

Tomorrow’s Money

Number Two:

AMBULANCE

Gun.

Number Three:

The World is Ugly

The Light Behind Your Eyes

Number Four:

Kiss the Ring

Make Room!!!

Number Five:

Surrender the Night

Burn Bright

Personal Faves:

Tomorrow’s Money

Boy Division

AMBULANCE

Kiss the Ring

Make Room!!!

Things to Keep in Mind:

I often like to give a shout out to AMBULANCE and Kiss the Ring for having opening chords that sound exactly like they’ve come straight off a Queen and Green Day album respectively.

See Tomorrow’s Money for the spectacular way they rhyme “vampire/empire/brush fire/tap wire” all in one verse.

See also Gun. for the far sillier way they rhyme “gun/sun/fun/run”.

You can tell with some of these songs that there was the stirrings of Danger Days in here. Make Room!!! is the most obvious, with the same mantra of “everybody wants to change the world” from Na Na Na making an appearance toward the end.

I think in some iteration between Conventional Weapons and Danger Days, there were some songs that did make it to the Danger Days album that were called something else. Party Poison, for example, had originally been Death Before Disco.

Covers

My Chemical Romance, in one form or another, have done some spectacular covers over the years. I’m including the Umbrella Academy covers Gerard did with Ray because that’s basically half the band right there.

Desolation Row (Watchmen soundtrack)

Hazy Shade of Winter (Umbrella Academy)

Happy Together (Umbrella Academy)

Common People (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge)

Under Pressure (ft. The Used)

Those are the ones I’m aware of. If there are more good-quality covers I’m missing, please, send them my way– I would love that!

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love

Ok, look, I’m gonna upset some people by having this on the bottom of my list. I’m sorry, I feel bad about it, but the fact of the matter is, I’m only now getting into their earliest stuff. Bullets is a bit of an acquired taste because it’s incredibly raw both sound-wise and in terms of content. They recorded it before they had the resources to really put out a crisp sounding album, and they were still learning about how to construct songs, but there’s still a lot of beauty in that that I know plenty people appreciate far more than I do. MCR wouldn’t have gained an underground following without this album, after all!

I have exactly zero stakes in this album, so I’m sure someone else out there has a better grasp of this one than I do.

Concept: I know very little about what’s going on in this album, aside from the fact that Gerard was driven to create the band after being in New York, watching the Twin Towers fall during 9/11. A bunch of his more end of the world storylines from many of his works (including Umbrella Academy) are inspired by 9/11. This is a prevalent thread throughout the album, though I’m not familiar with the how beyond Skylines and Turnstiles.

Track Listing:

Romance

Honey, This Mirror Isn’t Big Enough for the Two of Us

Vampires Will Never Hurt You

Drowning Lessons

Our Lady of Sorrows

Headfirst for Halos

Skylines and Turnstiles

Early Sunsets Over Monroeville

This Is the Best Day Ever

Cubicles

Demolition Lovers

Personal Faves:

Headfirst for Halos

Honey, This Mirror isn’t Big Enough for the Two of Us

Vampires Will Never Hurt You

Our Lady of Sorrows

I’m playing fast and loose with my faves here. I’ve only heard these songs a handful of times, but they’re the ones I’m inclined to at least listen to for the guitar work, which at times, is quite fantastic. I will say though, from what I’ve seen of the lyrics, there’s some stellar stuff in here I hope to properly get into some time soon.

All the guys are still plugging away and releasing music either in their own bands (most recently, Frank Iero andthe Patience and Mikey Way’s band, Electric Century) or solo (in the case of Gerard Way and Ray Toro). I wish I was more well-versed in their goings-ons, but I’ve not been following their musical careers beyond Gerard’s (come back and talk to me if you want to get into his Hesitant Alien solo album and his more recent releases).

And that is your crash course in all things MCR.

#mcr #my chemical romance #i'm so sorry i butchered Bullets so hard #my knowledge on that album is Limited #but I know pretty much everything else like the back of my hand #i love them SO MUCH #i've honestly been preparing for the moment this kind of ask fell into my lap for weeks now #Anonymous

Batman TAS: The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne

“Sunshine. Clean air. I hate it.”

Episode: 37 Robin: Yes Writers: Judith Reeves-Stevens (teleplay), Garfield Reeves-Stevens (Teleplay), and David Wise (Story) Director: Frank Paur Animator: Akom Airdate: October 29, 1992 Grade: B

Whoa! Wait a minute! Didn’t we just talk about the episode Eternal Youth? And wasn’t that episode #29? Now we’re going to jump all the way up to #37? Did I miss something?

That was supposed to be an imitation of you. Not in a condescending way. Because yeah, we did jump ahead! Oh, don’t worry, we will be taking a look at every episode between Eternal Youth and Strange Secret, but we’ll be doing so in a “split timeline” fashion (term ripped from StephenVlogs/Zelda). I have been really behind with the posts for a while now because of the work I had in college. And I’ll keep getting further behind unless I do something. So today, we have jumped up to where I actually am with the episodes. This way I am caught up, and then I can go back and review the episodes I have missed when I have the spare time to do so. It’s as simple as that. And if you’re someone who would prefer not to read ahead, feel free to wait for me to catch up in the past timeline.

In the present timeline, we’re looking at Dr. Hugo Strange’s debut, as well as the first time we have seen some of Batman’s major villains work together. This episode is important, because it sets up possibilities for the future (ex Almost Got ‘im and Trial), but aside from that, it ends up being pretty inconsequential, and simply a fun episode with some laughs along the way. When we see the title and the title card, though, it is hard not to expect more. Char figured that this would be a deep episode about Batman’s past, and while we do go back in time a little bit through Bruce Wayne’s mind, it’s nothing that we haven’t seen before, and it’s incredibly short. Also, I don’t exactly know who that is on the title card. It looks like it is one of Strange’s men, but it’s also entirely possible that it is Bruce. It has virtually nothing to do with the episode, honestly, and because of that, it’s not one of my favorite title cards. Maybe this episode was much different in an earlier draft, and they had to water it down for kids. That wouldn’t shock me, this episode is a lot more cartoony than most. The main plot features a mind-reading device that leads its victims through personal, repressed memories, and then displays these thoughts as video onto a screen that Strange gets to look at. It also records the thoughts onto tape. Look, I’m willing to suspend my disbelief when it comes to invisibility (See No Evil), or even when it comes to transforming people into trees. This is a little silly. And this is following a pretty tense scene at the beginning, where a Gotham judge is desperately trying to buy one of these tapes back, which shows that she was the one who caused a major fire long ago as a child, and has kept it a secret ever since. She doesn’t have enough money to pay for the tape, so Strange’s goons don’t give it to her, and they tell her that she now owes even more (they also have a duplicate tape as backup, seen later. Evil bastards). She’s so desperate to get the tape, that when Batman swoops in to settle things, the tape happens to find its way onto a dangerous-looking metal beam, suspended above the water, and she crawls out to grab it (nearly falling). It may not be animated that well, but it makes for some good set-up. From here on, though, the episode receives a big tone shift.

After Dr. Hugo Strange reads Bruce’s mind, he discovers that Bruce is Batman. This is a major thing, no one so far in the show, villainous at least, has figured out who Batman is. Shouldn’t this be a super dramatic moment? But it’s really not. I question why Bruce didn’t simply look backwards to see what was showing on the screen or why he was so trusting to begin with, but even more so, I question how Strange deduced that Bruce is Batman through the footage shown. Yeah, we see the bat-signal and Batman’s glove, but this could be a simple metaphor or a desire to be Batman. It proves nothing, to me. But in the show’s logic, we must accept that this is enough to count, and now, armed with Bruce’s secret, Strange attempts to auction the tape to Joker, Penguin, and Two-Face. We get to see all four of these goobery characters interacting, and it is truly great. It’s what makes the episode so watchable. They have such strong personalities, and not once do they ever feel out of character. Even Penguin is a blast, only making one bird pun that I remember. And this bird pun is one that anyone would be likely to make, so it didn’t feel overly gimmicky. This is how to do Penguin right! As he sips his tea in the airplane as they are about to throw Strange out of it, I immediately realized that Batman in my Basement would not taint the character for me. Penguin, we have hope. Don’t screw it up. Two-Face being there wasn’t played seriously either, and this might bother some, but I was fine with it. It is sad to see Harvey stooping at such a low, but he’s a gangster now. It’s just how it is. Not every day for him is going to be that first episode with him all over again, y’know? And with him getting roasted by the Joker the way he did, I am totally open to having such a depressing character in such a casual episode. “Get out of my face, Clown.” “Which one?” Ouch, he walked right into that one.

The one major gripe that I actually have is the ending. I know I haven’t talked about it yet, but it has the same problem that I have with The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy where it is completely unbelievable. You’re telling me that not only does Bruce happen to have a perfect costume of himself that Dick can fit into, but also that Dick can do a 100% perfect Bruce Wayne impression? Get outta town! And then we got that exposition at the end, showing how Dick was able to appear so tall in Bruce’s clothes. I probably would have questioned it otherwise, but that could have been done more elegantly. Just show Dick stepping out of the stilts. We don’t need the “stilted” dialogue explaining it. I really don’t like when the show takes this route of Batman, or someone else, being disguised as someone else, because it always follows damn-near Scooby Doo-logic. Costumes aren’t that perfect. I just don’t buy it. It seems very “kidified", and like the writers simply had no idea how Batman would weasel out of this situation. If Loren Lester can actually do an impression of Kevin Conroy that well, I will eat my coffee cup.

I want this as a poster.

I’m sorry, but her hairline looks like it should belong to some middle-aged dude trying to be hip from the 70′s.

Seeing Batman walk along the top of the bridge was cool. Stealthy Batman is just as great to watch as brutal Batman.

But sometimes he’s both!

Sorry, but that judge was a lot thicker than that. Don’t skimp out.

Gordon chatting with Batman while appearing to be deep in thought, simply peering into the water was a nice touch.

Gordon witnesses Batman disappearing for once. It would be funny if from this point on, he thought that Batman always escaped via plane.

The large tombstones are cool, but this scene lacked the fluidity it required to be interesting.

The big reveal that Batman is Bruce Wayne. Ummm... Okay.

Looks kinda like Keaton Batman.

This face was really creepy. But apparently she started the fire on accident. Doesn’t really come across with a crazed look like that.

The animation didn’t destroy the episode or anything, but some of these characters have seen better days.

Like, I mean, it’s passable, but I’m not feeling the grotesqueness associated with Two-Face.

This was a rough shot. I’ve noticed that episodes tend to have trouble with shots featuring the Joker’s closed mouth.

Yikes. Look at. the henchman’s facial structure. What happened, dude?

I like the Joker’s popcorn-eating as Batman’s identity is about to be revealed.

And Hugo Strange rubbing his hands together with greed was delightfully silly. I also wonder how the rogues obtained so much money. I bet most of it is Penguin’s. Joker probably contributed the cents.

Got a nice screenshot of Penguin shooting the tape.

Nice badge.

Compare this to a similar scene in the Batman Beyond pilot. One has a much easier time climbing on a plane, given the suit.

Oh, Penguin. Thinking he’s so damn sophisticated as they drag a screaming man into the sky and threaten to toss him out the door. See, that would be absolutely barbaric, but the tea.

What a dreadful shot. Also, Strange’s voice actor (Ray Buktenica) knocks it out of the park with his pleas.

Once Gordon and Strange are gone, we see “Bruce” get a bit more of a smug expression that we don’t often see. This is actually Dick, and the change in expression I will praise. Still doesn’t excuse the overall scenario, though!

Char’s grade: A Next time: Heart of Steel (Part 1)

01. What does your character’s name mean? Did you pick it for the symbolism, or did you just like the way it sounded?

Fliis. She was originally a character from an original story that I never got around to putting to paper, but the reasons are the same. I wanted something soft for her name. Something that represented her incredible ability to remain gentle and soft and sweet even after everything she’s been through.

02. What is one of your character’s biggest insecurities? Are they able to hide it easily or can others easily exploit this weakness?

She is afraid of failure and letting people down. Sometimes she doesn’t use her head because she’s so busy thinking with her heart. She and Atrax are independent but she wants to provide better for them. This insecurity also makes her push herself harder than she should sometimes. It could be exploited pretty easily but she’s usually busy beating herself up about it without help.

03. What would be their favorite physical trait about themselves?

After she started gaining weight she felt so much better about herself. Her face started filling out and she got soft around the edges after she and Atrax left and began to build their base. Once she started to see and feel that softness she was like “Shit! I’m hot!” and she loves herself and her body.

04. What are their favorite traits about their lover? (one psychological and one physical)

I would say [SPOILERS] but I’ve already talked about shipping her with...you know.... B^)

05. Are they sexually confident or more of the shy type?

She’s normally confident, but as soon as she is romantically interested in someone she completely falls apart. Massive dork energy. 06. Do they have any hobbies that their lover finds unusual, odd, or otherwise annoying?

She has a tendency to push herself too hard physically when training. She still holds a lot of fear because of her upbringing and refuses to stop pushing herself to be stronger.

07. Is there a catchphrase or sound that they tend to make a lot (likely without being aware of it)?

She “Meep!”

08. What is, perhaps, their biggest flaw? Are they aware of this or oblivious to it?

She is still a little naïve because she didn’t get exposed to lessons that would teach her certain things. She has her heart in the right place but gets into messes because of it sometimes.

09. Do they have a favorite season? What about a favorite holiday?

She prefers warm weather. I need...to make some holidays....

10. Is your character more feminine or masculine?

Feminine AF

11. What is something that would make your character fly into a rage?

Hurt someone she loves.

12. Is there some particular talent, skill, or attribute that they simply could not give up?

Flying. She is a great pilot.

13. What are your character’s sleeping habits? Heavy or light sleeper? Blanket stealer? One that always rolls onto the floor? Pushes their lover onto the floor? Sleep talker or walker?

Heavy sleeper with frequent nightmares. Even they’re both grown adults, if she’s having a particularly bad time sleeping she can sleep with Atrax. They have a strong, protective familial relationship.

14. Do they live alone or with family? How do they feel about their family/roommates?

With found family. She and Atrax are very close. Although Ruin antagonizes her constantly, and she him, they rely on each other. Rack is her copilot and wouldn’t trade him for a world.

15. Is there a certain person in this world that they cannot stand? The very mention of this person’s name makes them tremble with anger or fear.

[REDACTED] 16. Is your character the athletic type or more of a couch potato? What are some sports/games that they like?

She’s very athletic and can kick ass.

17. Does your character have dreams of getting married and/or having children?

She doesn’t think children are for her. She doesn’t live a lifestyle congruent with child raising. She’d love to have a wife one day, though.

18. What kind of home would they want to live in? Where would they place this abode?

She wants to find somewhere planetside for herself and Atrax. Somewhere with lots of gardening space, long rolling hills, no Hutts, and neighbors that don’t ask questions.

19. Would your character be the kind to get into fights? (physical or verbal) Would they be a good fighter or cave in rather easily?

She isn’t out looking for a fight, but she’s very capable and can take a hit. Physically, she has probably the highest pain tolerance of anyone in the crew except for Atrax.

20. Does your character like animals? What are some of their favorite animals? Would they want pets? What about mythological creatures?

I don’t know what the star wars equivalent of a horse girl is but that’s Fliis. She loves animals so much. She wants to pet every tooka in the universe. Twice. 21. What is one of your character’s biggest fears? How would they react when dealing with this fear?

Failure. Freaking the fuuuuuuck out.

22. What kind of tattoos, piercings, birthmarks, freckles, and other such unique physical features do they have?

She has natural striping on her lekku, arms, and legs, plus a shitton of freckles. I head canon that because Twi’leks live in cave systems on Ryloth they’re super susceptible to getting freckles because they don’t spend a lot of time under a sun and get most of their vitamin D from mushrooms instead of synthesizing it themselves.

23. What is your character like when it comes to school? What subjects are they good/bad at? Do they get in trouble a lot or are well behaved?

She didn’t go to a school.

24. In their own words, how would your character describe what their lover is like?

sldfjslkfKHASDFLSKDFJDSKFJLSAFllksdflkvnkasdlffjkldsfalskdfLFJkdflsjlkfjiejwiofjc

25. Is there something traumatic from your character’s past that greatly affects them even to this day?

Yes.

26. What is their lover like sexually? How do they feel about their lover’s quirks, needs, etc?

//u//

27. If your character was going to get arrested, what would be the most likely reason for it?

Theft, possession of a [redacted], tax evasion......

28. If your character became a celebrity, what would they be famous for?

Being an actual literal ray of starshine.

29. What is one of the most courageous things your character has ever done for a loved one?

Escape from a Hutt.

30. When it comes to the arts (music, film, theater, etc), what does your character like?

She loves listening to trashy space pop music and watching shows on the holonet. She likes to keep it light and fun because life before was always so sad. She doesn't like to take things too seriously. 31. Would your character be the kind capable of killing? Would they enjoy killing or only use it when necessary or, perhaps, refuse to kill no matter what?

She’s very capable of it, but only when necessary.

32. If your character’s lover offered to take them out on a dream date, what would they want to do?

A long day under an open sky in tall grass. Pack a picnic, visit a new world, not have any responsibilities and just be in some nature.

33. If your character wanted to be alone, where would they go?

There’s a nebula in wild space that is far from any inhabited world or commonly used hyperspace lane. It’s a forgotten part of the galaxy, and sometimes she’ll go there to look out the viewport. She can’t stay long, though, because it gets overwhelming to see how big and empty it can be.

34. Does your character have favorite foods? (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks, etc)

Space waffles, roasts, sweet ice, shit dude is there pizza in star wars? There is now. Caf, caf and sweet ice together....just like, every tasty thing ever.

35. Is your character afraid of death? If they got to choose how to die, how would they want to go?

She’s not so much afraid of dying, more of missing out or not getting opportunities. Still, if she had to pick: peacefully in her sleep.

36. Does your character have any medical conditions? Are they serious or minor? Do they affect their day to day life?

She is missing a lek. Almost the whole thing. She has to wear a weighted prosthetic to keep balanced. She has a couple and likes to decorate them.

37. What are some of your character’s pet peeves? What are some things that annoy them or disgust them?

She doesn’t like to be told what to do and has a problem with authority.

38. What kind of weather does your character like? Cloudy skies, rainy days, sunshine, etc?

SUNSHINE! She likes the warmth, the free breeze, swimsuit season!

39. When people look at your character, is there some assumption they might make about them just by appearance? Is that assumption correct?

She’s a short, fat Twi’lek woman. Literally the whole universe assumes she’s weak, subservient, and incapable of holding her own in a fight and they are all deadass wrong.

40. Does your OC have any guilty pleasures they enjoy? Hobbies, past times, music, etc that they wouldn’t want known by others?

”Guilty pleasures? I like what I like. Judge me, I’m INVINCIBLE.” 41. Does your character’s family affect your character in any way?

Biological, no. Atrax? Heavily.

42. Is there anything in your character’s past that they regret, haunts them, or they wish they could change?

A different upbringing would be nice, but it’s hard to imagine.

43. Does your character have a switch that changes aspects of their personality whether they are around friends, family, etc. Is there someone who gets to see their true self?

As she tries to become a smuggler--well, a better smuggler--she tries out a ton of personas to fall into while she works.

44. Is there a particular event that would emotionally devastate your character?

Losing Atrax would be beyond devastating.

45. Is your character the kind to hide their true emotions or do they wear their heart on their sleeve?

She wears it on her sleeve at home.

46. What is some random affectionate thing that your character always does to their lover?

She’s very physically affectionate. Massages, hand holding, stroking back/lekku/arms/etc.

47. Is your character outgoing? Would they be the leader of the friend group, or the quiet one that gets dragged along?

She’s not the leader of the crew, but she is outgoing. She’s not a “follower” but Atrax is very much In Charge.

48. Is there anything in particular that would ignite your character’s jealousy? Or does your character not get envious?

Having natural talent in something she can’t do. Which is hard for a non-force sensitive living with at least one force user.

49. What is something that your character has nightmares about? Are these frequent? Do they heavily affect your character’s mood?

Her past, and people she cares about getting hurt. There’s a lot of “what-if” scenario dreams and she ends up having pretty horrible nightmares. She’s pretty well used to it and functions in the daytime alright most of the time, unless it’s a particularly bad one.

50. If your character confessed love to their crush, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc, what would they say?

So much awkward stammering and word-circling until she gets flustered.

Chapter 35 Comment Replies

csgt: “Oh, I forgot to mention it in the past chapter, but I definitely got the feeling that Ben having a new normal watch and Gwen replacing the charm with a normal locket means the definitive end of the ‘hero’ part of their story”

Yeah, pretty much. They’re moving on to new stages in their lives as they grow up.

csgt: “So Lucy is now developing real feelings for both Ben and Gwen? Ohhh, that complicates things… Maybe she will find someone else and get over them? Even though now I’m seeing the chances of ‘Bwenucy’ happening raise a little (maybe 5 percent now instead of 1 percent?)”

Things are a little more complicated now. People have been noticing for a while that there is a chance of the story going in the Bwency direction, so this probably made it seem more likely to everyone. You’ll just have to see how it plays out over the rest of the year.

Davidscrazy234: “If this was made into a live action show, like Arrow and The Flash which cast person would u choose for Ben, Gwen, and Lucy?”

Ooh, there’s a fun question! Let’s see…

For Ben, I’d go with David Mazouz, AKA young Bruce Wayne in Gotham. The scenes where he’s partying and pretending to be a spoiled rich kid makes me think he could totally pull off Ben, plus beating the crap out of bad guys is right up his alley.

For Gwen, I’d say Sadie Sink, AKA Max from the second season of Stranger Things. I’ll admit it’s mostly because she’s a fierce redhead, but she seems talented enough to pull off a character who’s pretty much the exact opposite of Max as well.

And then for Lucy, I’d pick Elsie Fisher, AKA the voice of Agnes in the Despicable Me movies. She did a live action film with Bo Burnham recently too. She’s such a sweet girl and just seems like a constant ray of sunshine, I think she’d be perfect for Lucy.

These actors are 15-17 years old now, so I guess it could only work as a sequel to my story at this point, but they would’ve been perfect for it if the series had started like 4 or 5 years ago.

Guest: “I have a question- is Gwen shorter than Ben in this story? Otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to lean into his chest without having her butt stick out awkwardly.”

Haha, yes, Ben is the taller one now. Gwen used to be taller than him, but he hit his growth spurt and surpassed her, which I sort of eluded to a couple times in Year 3. I remember Ben Ten Thousand being really tall, so I figured this was how they would turn out. The drawing I did of them for the story image is a little closer to what I imagine their current relative heights are now.

Guest: “I’m like the track you’re heading with. Lucy was only featured in one episode in the original and she had so much potential, I always kept an eye out for her. Her characteristics stood out. The wedding when Ben danced with Gwen and then Lucy were really sweet moments. Came for a Bwen fanfic but I’m also in love with Lucy.”

You and me both, my friend. Lucy wasn’t even in the character list for Ben 10 fanfictions until I started this story. If nothing else comes from it, I hope people start to like her a bit more.

Jagcity: “Just a little side inquiry, it seems that Frank loves his daughter (or at least checks up on her) more than Natalie does; I guess Gwen’s mom is simply the stern and frowny type.”

Gwen’s dad is a softie, sort of a typical doting father. Her mom is much more strict, but she’s definitely the one who pushes her to succeed more, which Gwen is mature enough to be thankful for. Ben still finds Natalie mean and scary, and it confuses him that Gwen doesn’t seem to see her that way at all.

Guest: “that bathroom scene was the first time we’ve seen Lucy expressing her true intentions and emotions behind her cherrful happy go lucky mask and she seems to be conflicted… she cares for others which is why she wants Ben and Gwen to be there for each other but at the same, even though I can’t say she’s human, she’s got emotions. She’s just better at hiding it like Ben.”

We have seen her “mask” slip before, which I think is a good way to put it. Back in the summer of Year 2, she broke down because Joel and Camille were missing. That was an unrelated matter, but I hope it effectively foreshadowed how Lucy might not always be the cheerful, happy go lucky girl she appears to be.

Guest: “This was a really effective chapter and it only was that way because of the events and progression leading up to it.”

THANK YOU! Yes! Now you all know why I had to write a story the length of a Harry Potter book before reaching this point. I hope the payoff was worth the wait.

Guest: “I don’t know how to root for right now, it’s like Toradora all over again.”

I’m really glad you brought up Toradora, which is hands down one of the best romance anime out there. It wasn’t one of the biggest inspirations for my story (which would probably be Oreimo in addition to Little Moments), but I can definitely see the similarities.

Guest: “Since you mentioned you’re in college, what’re your aspirations and plans for the future? You’d do great as a author, writer for animes, characters and novels judging by what I’ve seen from you. You seem to have an interest in gaming so you could have a certain paths on that or just take it as a way to kill time. Whatever you’re gonna be in the future you sure as hell are gonna be successful”

Thank you for saying so! I actually graduated about a year ago, but I started writing this story while I was still in college. I’m currently working as an engineer at a medical device company. I have no real training or experience as an author, so I’ll probably just stick with fanfiction as a hobby for now. I’m also learning to draw in the anime art style, so maybe I’ll try making a fan manga at some point as well. In the past, I’ve competed in really low level Super Smash Bros and Magic the Gathering tournaments, but I couldn’t see myself making a career out of it. In about a year or two, I plan to decide if I wanna stick with what I’m doing or go back to school for a bit to transition into something else. I have a friend who got into the game design industry after he graduated, which is something I would love to do as well. Becoming a teacher is another option since I like working with kids and I used to tutor other students in math, science, and programming, plus my aunt is a middle school math teacher. I also have a friend who got into writing for television after he graduated. I was mostly joking, but I already made him promise that if he ever somehow makes it big and gets his own cartoon, he’ll let me voice the villain since I’m “basically already the villain in his life.” I know a lot of my readers are in college, so I just wanna say to all of you that life can be pretty cool after you graduate, and I hope you all do as well as my friends and I have.

Guest: “Do you think Joel is dead in the Last of Us Part 2”

I don’t think so. Wasn’t he in the trailer? Either way, I know I’m gonna play the shit out of that game the second it comes out.

Guest: “God. Been reading from December and this story’s at the TOP of the Ben 10 fanfic section, well deserved. Gosh bless”

Is it really? Awesome! Also, I thought it was funny how you start the comment with “God” and then switch to “Gosh bless” at the end. Lucy prefers “Glob” because she’s a fan of Adventure Time.

Guest: “‘Shut up and put your hands around me’ Gwen is such a tsundere lmao”

Haha, absolutely! I love tsunderes. Totally my type.

Guest: “Since you haven’t seen Alien Force... did you by any chance check out Omniverse since some flashbacks involve the friendship Gwen, Lucy and Ben.”

I only watched a few episodes of Omniverse. I even specifically sought out the episodes that had Lucy in them because I wanted more of her. The show didn’t really appeal to me, but I enjoyed the episodes I saw and the Lucy ones were helpful for crafting her character in my story.

Guest: “We all know Ben and Gwen are gonna end up together and you also mentioned you might write epilogue one shots would it be possible to also write a optionn B) alternative ending where Ben and Lucy got together or would that not fit with the course of the story you’re taking in? Just like how they did Amigami SS, in each 5 episodes, they pair the MC with a girl in alternative ways and timelines of course to see how it would’ve played out. I feel bad for Lucy to be left out and as much as I love Bwen as she does, wish she had her chance too.”

The Bwen ending and the Bwency ending are the only ones that are really on the table right now. I will say that the ending is one of those two options, but I am willing to write an alternate ending for the other one. It’s hard to imagine a Ben/Lucy ending that wouldn’t be completely soul-crushing for Gwen, but I might consider giving it a shot.

Guest: “‘Beeeeeeeen! You...you...You're doing it wrong!’ ‘Give it a rest Dweeb, I'm doing the best I can.’ ‘Ahhhhhhh...Ouch! Wrong hole, Doofus! Do you even know what you're doing down there!?’ ‘Maybe I should've just asked Lucy for help...’”

Hey! How did you get my manuscript for Year 5?? I mean, uh...get this filth out of my Christian Minecraft server.

Guest: “Just wondering, but is this a purely Bwen fic? It seems kinda sad that I read 200K words thinking that Lucy doesn't really stand a chance. I was wondering how much of a jump it would take for all three of them to get together but it doesn't really matter anyways since you already finished writing this work. I just found this piece about 3 days ago and I gotta say I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I look forward to reading what kind of ending you have in store for these characters.”

It’s not purely a Bwen fic. It was my intention for everyone to know Ben and Gwen were going to end up together from the start, but for it to be unclear at this point if Lucy will be involved with them as well. Some of my readers are more convinced it will happen than others, but like I said earlier, I am willing to write both endings. Only one of them is written right now though.
