" things happen, just breathe. " leo reassured gently, reaching out to pat her shoulder softly. " besides, it's nothin' i can't fix. " leo added on as free hand moved to grab his handkerchief from back pocket to pass over to piper. / @gardenlead.

[wyattxwheeler]

Wyatt shook the other's hand, almost always the exchange between the two. "Feel free to help yourself," he offered to Leo, gesturing at the plate full of food. He certainly had more than enough to share, even if Leo had his own food in front of him. A laugh passed over his lips and he nodded his head, "I know, I know," he held up his hands in a mock surrender, "trust me, she'd kick my ass first if I ever hurt her and that isn't going to happen." Wyatt would be besides himself if he ever hurt Nel. "Honestly, I know I'm going to spend the rest of my life with her, if she agrees anyway." @le0nxrd0perez

Leo extended a hand for Wyatt to shake after he sat down, "all of this food looks like it." He nodded as he inhaled the mixture of aromas from all the foods surrounding them from patrons. Leo liked Wyatt, both from work as well as in a more personal manner as he was dating Nel. Though Leo had a sister back home in New York, he felt a sort of closeness with his three cousins here in town, stepping up as brother-like figure for them if need be. "That's good and same here," there wasn't any reason to complain anyway, life really was that good. "Ouch," he teased, "I mean I know she's a firecracker and all..." His voice trailed off as he grinned before taking a bite and nodding. "Good man, because you just because you've seen me in a court room doesn't mean you know I work." He teased, giving Wyatt a wink and a chuckle. @wyattxwheeler

It  happened  suddenly;  all  at  once  he  could  no  longer  feel  his  daughter.  While  heavily  absent,  Leo  could  always  feel  them,  could  always  at  least  vaguely  sense  them.  It's  hard  to  describe  how  the  thread  works  between  them.  It's  a  general  awareness  and  if  he  pulls  on  the  thread  hard  enough,  he  can  locate  her,  the  same  way  he  can  locate  Chris  and  Wyatt,  the  same  way  he  can  sense  his  charges.  It  happens  sometimes,  if  they  go  into  the  underworld,  or  they  try  hard  enough  to  block  him,  the  connection  disappears,  dulls;  but  this  is  different.  It''s  not  the  first  time  that  he  can't  sense  his  daughter  but  it's  the  first  time  it  truly  seems  concerning.  Still,  there  are  many  logical  explanations  so  he  waits.  It's  a  few  days  later  there's  a  call  from  his  wife;  a  call  in  his  head,  the  same  way  the  charmed  ones  had  always  beckoned  him  when  needed.  It's  the  first  time  he  knows  something  is  really  wrong.  Piper  confirms  it.  They'd  all  lost  connection  with  Mel-  Paige,  Chris,  Wyatt.  Of  course  she's  none  too  happy  and  the  two  get  into  one  of  their  world-class  spats,  Piper  demanding  he  finds  her  and  fixes  it.  Now.  He  didn't  need  the  incentive,  orbing  out  on  her  to  begin  the  investigation  into  where  his  wayward  daughter  was  and  what  kind  of  trouble  she'd  gotten  herself  into  this  time.

It's  not  easy  to  find  her  without  the  thread  that  connects  them  all,  without  that  connection,  it's  difficult  to  know  where  to  start.  Concern  pulls  at  his  gut,  forming  a  pit  in  his  stomach  as  the  days  go  by.  Finally,  his  investigation  pays  off.  When  he  orbs  in  front  of  her,  features  are  hard,  but  the  pit  in  his  stomach  eases  at  seeing  her  physically  unharmed.  "  You've  got  a  lot  of  explaining  to  do.  "

an independent private LEO WYATT rp based on the original series CHARMED

BEFORE THERE WAS KEN, THERE WAS LEO: a study of guardian angels, an immortal man supporting powerful women, cynicism of living ageless for eternity, love language being acts of service, found family, making mistakes in the name of greater good, breaking heavenly laws for true love & if you need him, call out his name...

mutuals only;

this   blog   is   PRIVATE   which   means   i   will   be   selective   with   those   i   follow.   if   i   follow,   i   want   to   WRITE   and   generally   nerd   out   about   our   muses   w/   you.   if   we   haven’t   reached   out   to   one   another   for   some   time,��  i   may   unfollow/softblock.   really   want   to   focus   on   plotted/developed   interactions   since   i’m   not    able   to   be   here   for   prolonged   periods   and   it   helps   me   keep   up.   if   i   do   not   return   your   follow,   do   not   attempt   to   contact   or   interact   with   any   posts.   NON RP/PERSONAL/WRITING   BLOGS   shouldn’t   interact   w/  posts   or   follow.   i   want   to   keep   things   strictly   for   rp   purposes   only.   mutuals   only   means   i   will   only   write   with   those   i   am   also   following.   mutuals   may   send   memes,   respond   to   starter/plotting/ship   calls,   and   generally   hang   out.   if   you   wish   to   break   mutuals,   that's   your   decision,   and   i   won't   fault   you   for   it.   if   there   is   a   genuine   issue   that   needs   to   be   brought   my   attention,   please   reach   out   and   let's   discuss   it.   if   i   wish   to   break   mutuals,   i   will   softblock.   hardblocking   will   be   reserved   for   severe   actions.   do   not   attempt   to   reach   out   through   another   blog.

activity;

low   to   medium   activity   due   to   work   schedule.   i   can’t   promise   the   queue   will   be   loaded   up   and   ready   to    post   other   times,   but   i’ll   certainly   try   my   best.   i   do   not   hold   any   mutuals   to   a   specified   time   limit   on   replies.   i   appreciate   your   patience   when   it   comes   to   my   responses   as   well. 

triggers;

as   mentioned   above,   there   will   be   some   dark   themes.   however,   i   will   not   write   things   like   inappropriate   interactions   with   minors,   abuse/non-con,   discrimination,   incest,   etc.   i   won't   tag   things   unless   requested   by   mutuals.   otherwise,   a    cw   tag   will   be   used.

shipping;

i   am   open   to   all   types   of   ships.   if   you   have   an   idea,   ask   me   about   it.   my   response   will   vary   from   immediate   to   possibly   brainstorming   scenarios.   if   i   hard   pass   on   a   ship,   respect   that.   again,   no   inappropriate   dynamics   such   as   an   adult   with   minors   or   toxic   relationships.   any   extremely   negative   relationships   will   only   be   referred   to   in   headcanon.   enemies   in   a   non-abusive   sense   or   rivals   are   fine.   as   for   romantic   shipping,   you   know   what   i'm   going   to   say:   chemistry.

multiverse;

crossovers,   aus,   original   characters,   and   multiship.   you   may   enter.

etiquette;

no   godmodding,   forcing   ships   or   harassing   for   responses.   you   may   remind   me   of   a   plot   or   thread   we   have   going,   but   please   do   not   attempt   to   guilt   me   into   hurrying.   i   am   a   real   person,   in   the   real   world,   with   other   things   going   on.   as   much   as   i   would   love   to   sit   and   write   all   day   or   gush   over   our   muses   together   until   our   brains   are   slime,   i   won't   be   online   all   the   time.   if   i   am   online   but   haven't   responded,   be   patient.   i   follow   the   muse,   and   i   expect   my   partners   to   take   their   time   too.   vague   posts,   negativity   and   all   that   yucky   stuff   can   find   the   door.   i'm   not   here   for   any   ooc   drama.   while   i   don't   condone   callout   posts   and   related   content,   i   need   to   know   if   i'm   unintentionally   writing   with   someone   abusive.   do   not   steal.   my   main   psd   go-to   is   jaynedits.   color   psd   is  melinoegraphics.

mains & exclusives;

mains,   yes!   exclusives,   the   jury   is   out!   as   of   right   now,   since   this   blog   is   so   new,   i   won't   practice   exclusives.   i   will   have   main   canon   muses   that   will   take   priority   because   we've   known   each   other   a   minute   or   we   have   great   chemistry.   not   sure   what   my   main   limit   is,   but   i'll   update   when   i   do.

Plots I would love to do

Rumplestiltskin and Belle Anything regarding them. Them in the Enchanted Forest, or them in Sotrybrooke. AUs of them, or them in Westeros, like in my Game of Thrones fanfiction.

the Professor and Melinda Halliwell

Leo Wyatt and Piper Halliwell

the Professor and Clara Oswald Anything from my fanfiction, Once Upon a Time Lord. Like when they meet, or their life in Storybrooke, or adventures with the Doctor. the Professor and Rey Anything where the Professor finds Rey on Jakku, and takes her as a companion. Set before the events of the sequel trilogy. the Eleventh Doctor and Sabine Wren After the events of Rebels season four, the Doctor finds Sabine on Lothal, and she becomes his companion. the Twelfth Doctor and Bo-Katan Kryze After regenerating, the Doctor crash lands on Mandalore (during the purge of Mandalore) and meets Bo-Katan. The two of them soon become friends and she becomes his companion. the Professor and Sara Lance Anyhting that explores their relationship. They start off like the Doctor and River Song, where their timelines are out of sync before they find each other in the right order (just before Legends Season 2), and they become co-captains of the Waverider. the Professor and Kara Danvers A crossover between Doctor Who, UNIT: the New Series and Supergirl, where Kara becomes an agent under Kate Stewart's UNIT. the Professor and Daenerys Targaryen Anything from my Game of Thrones fanfiction. Would love to explore threads between these two. the Professor and Drizella Tremaine Would love to do something where the Professor finds Drizella instead of Regina Wake Up Call).

Cal Kestis and Merrin Would love to explore their relationship between the two. Like events between Fallen Order and Survivor, and after Survivor, of course.

@thefearedsouls​​ wanted Leo!

“Piper?” Leo called out while taking a small sip of his coffee. Before moving to set it down, he had a little bit more longer before he had to be at Magic School. After everything, the Elders gave him that second chance to become the sisters Whitelighter again and not interfere with his life when it came to his wife and children and Magic School. The sisters were his only chargers besides the school. “I made us some coffee.”

two wyatts experiencing two very different emotions

[the-wonder-wall]

Closed starter for @the-mind-of-xelyn

It had hurt when the other man had begun to distance himself, Wyatt could handle him leaving sex work behind, sure. But once it became clear that Wyatt too would become a relic of the past, well that was just something he couldn't take. Their hangouts became shorter, plans more frequently canceled, until one day Leo stopped associating with Wyatt all together. 6 months and not a single text from Wyatt's object of affection, and only a few days shy of a year since the man had left sex work. Since he'd started this mess.

Right on time Wyatt spotted Leo, the man always came to this area, and it was always late at night. Which was perfect, because his new home was only a few houses down in a long abandoned 3 bedroom house. Though Leo would be staying in the basement for the time being.

Wyatt let the other man pass him by 20 feet or so before creeping out of the bushes, baseball, bat, and other gear in the bag resting on his shoulder,"Leo!" He called, jogging up to them man," Hey, I thought that was you!" He panted as he caught up. Although he was in his normal day clothes, a pair of skinny jeans and a plaid shirt, the bag Wyatt's carrying gave the impression that he'd just come from the baseball field a few blocks down.

"Whatcha doing out here?" He asked with a friendly smile," It's been so long."

💬 sentence meme / still accepting .

[cursedname]

" you look rough. " leo blurts out the obvious, unable to stop the words before they come out. perhaps it was the lack of sleep that was making him more.... talkative than normal. or at least more willing to speak to those who he normally would not. / @wvsteria.

[thesunisalonetooaa]

continued from x | @thegreatworkofmagic​

Piper couldn’t quite hide her surprise when he handed her a letter.

“Is that for me?”

She had to ask, before she opened it, sitting down to read it properly. By the time she finished reading it, she had tears in her eyes. Now that was different than a simple Valentine’s card. When did people stop taking the time to write each other letters? she wondered to herself, because this was beautiful. She carefully put it down before she rose to her feet again, moving closer to embrace him.

“I- I don’t know what to say.. I love you too..”

                 Leo had spent admittedly a little too much time on the love letter than he should have. It reminded him of what people used to do back when he was younger--love letters were common, especially in high school. He felt a bit like a child again, and thus, he was fairly giddy when he handed his wife the letter, wearing a shit-eating grin. Leo’s grin only grew as he watched Piper read, holding her tightly to him as she embraced him. He pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I just wanted to do something more from the heart...I’m glad you liked it.”

Nucleus of "character" agents for the '16 power 12' galaxy

('Servitor', 'Blackhand' and 'Her Camera' are set in the wider world of Angora, a alternative world to ours with many similarities and some key divergences. It is not the only world in the larger meta-narrative 16^12 but definitely a major focus, explaining the rest of the "galaxy" can wait by far)

Protagonist & narrative focus

Klara 'Olive' Kér, Shoshoni female Oracle of Time, also Enlightened Philosopher + Seer (self-insert);

"Triad / control group"

Konstanz Blackhand, Chronomancer & Archaeologist & Clocksmith from times far far ahead, interfacing with "solarpunk Angora" future historians and lead Servitor grid modules;

Ava 'Nova' Kér, the synthetic Dandy, Camera-lady & Arbiter, social interpreter for Klara Kér and interfaces with Nil too;

"Nil", 2nd person singular perspective, customizable role agent embedded into the meta-narrative, quite vague & responsive to user input purpose but most likely interface with Ava from this Earth, linking to the last six centuries of history (1440s-2020s) and to themselves;

Antagonist (here she is not a flat vilain / nemesis, probably more akin to a anti-hero / rival with some shared and many conflicting goals with Klara 'Olive' Kér)

Irma Milan, initally a Hexcrafter Magus & Code Runner Ranger before becoming a governor of the Shoshoni senate, with eldtrich & demons & devils relationships akin to human contractors within "Helluva Boss"; Still incredibly nuanced and multi-dimensional as all sapient agents are, just got a interesting flavor and backstory with such darker entities.

Historical background characters for Angora (early-on still but not in the first few chapters)

Theodora Rose, , ; (Theodore Roosevelt equivalent, connected to the alternate history strongest divergence point)

Cleo Hugues, , ; (Charles Hugues, connected to the alternate history strongest divergence point)

Terrance Fairbanks, , ; (Charles Fairbanks, connected to the alternate history strongest divergence point)

[ I got some explaining to do here, my constructed world is heavily inspired by many things and amongst them being this, https://youtu.be/hLiI6kXZkZI ; And as such to explain some of the later stages better to the audience, which is also "Nil" btw, I feel like a short political scene that shows how Woodrow Wilson never got elected ever in this world is quite key / useful knowledge to better understand the present day in Angora. More details in my other threads in the #maskutchew tag I curate, https://hydralisk98.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/maskutchew ; Thanks. ]

Side characters

Pan 'Arya' Blackhand, Musketmaster Gunslinger, ;

Micha 'Hagekh' Magnavox, Faceless Vigilante & Masked Performer Bard, ;

Sasha Blackhand, Tinkerer Alchemist, ;

Shun 'Xen' Suni, Cartomancer & Winter Witch, ;

Magali Soler, Preservationist & Witchguard, ;

Gustav 'Leo' Vanguard, Chemist & Herbs Physician, ;

Ursae 'Maskoch' Eike, NonBinary Dreamweaver Witch, also True Polymorph with much honesty and sweetheart vibes for once (quite a differing, warmer hearted take to most media shapeshifters, ain't it?);

Karl "Iwa" Deo, Hussar Cavalier, ;

Franz Ferdinand, Heavily Armored Fighter & Cavalier, ;

Engelo, Angelfire Apostle & Mystic + Theologian, ;

Persephone, Iron Priest & Stoic Caregiver, ;

Abe Nirvana, Skinshaper Druid + Zen Archer & Black Asp Monk, ;

Family relatives & the author placeholder stand-in

Falah Becker, mother of Klara;

Gustav Hayden, father of Klara;

Deno Hayden, twin brother of Klara;

Wyatt Hayden, masculine younger sibling to Klara;

Astra 'Zera' Petra, Loremaster Steward and Royalist (think of a contemporary times female 'Pedro II' of Brazil), GameMaster & Pseudo-Author-sona?;

Total: ~20-25 agents in the meta-narrative to be tinkered with. Probably shown and explored with different story chapters, stages and tiers of narrative exploration.

you know those ships that just .. never leave your head - and are just still so good..

[potestmagice]

Would love to do some of these ships

Hit me up if you're interested

Rumplestiltskin and Belle

Anything with them. I haven’t had much Belle’s to interact with, but would love to explore their relationship with someone. They can be in the Enchanted Forest or Storybrooke. Maybe they go out travelling somewhere, or in my Game of Thrones verse/fanfiction

the Professor and Melinda Halliwell

Leo Wyatt and Piper Halliwell

the Professor and Clara Oswald

One of my earliest ships that I created for the Professor. Would love to explore them again, especially in my fanfiction/verse, too. Or them trying to raise their daughter together in Storybrooke.

the Professor and Rey

The Professor first meets Rey while she is scavenging on Jakku, and she becomes a companion of them. And maybe something more, too (depending on the partner). And could accompany her through her journey as seen in the movies.

the Professor and Sara Lance

A ship that resembles the Doctor and River. Created it when I began watching the Arrowverse in October 2018. Would love to explore the two of them, and their timey-wimey lifestyle. Would love to do threads when he first meets her (where she knows all about him but he doesn’t know her), when she first meets him, when they get engaged/married, or just other assorted plots.

the Professor and Daenerys Targaryen

Anything to do with them. Up for any aus, too. Like the Red Door au I came up with a few years ago. Or anything with my fanfiction I am currently writing about them.

the Professor and Drizella Tremaine

An au where it’s the Professor who rescues Drizella from the plant, and he tutors her in magic. Also, bears some resemblance to the Doctor and Rusty, and the Professor lets her into their head and see the beauty of the universe.

Cal Kestis and Merrin

Would love to explore the events around Fallen Order, Battle Scars and Survivor. Would love to explore some scenes from Survivor (like their kiss scenes or the cave scene). Or just after.

Editor’s Choice:

Holy Night premiered twenty years ago this week! We’re rounding up some of our favorite Holy Night AUs and post-ep fics to mark the occasion!

sin and error by carolinaa | Rated T | C. J. Cregg & Toby Ziegler, Toby Ziegler & Leo McGarry, Andrea Wyatt & Toby Ziegler | Complete | Josh would kill to have a living father, Toby reminds himself.

It’s what he’s been repeating to himself over and over for the better part of an hour, the whole taxi ride home and up into his apartment and he’s not sure when he’s going to stop, but his jaw still tightens every time he feels his dad looking at him, so. Not yet.

and you know for me, it's always you by thotsandfeelings | Rated E | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | “Josh,” she hums and she moves her hands to his hair so she can hold him in place. “We’re making out in your office.”

 Adeste, Fidelis by auditoryeden | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | "Christmas isn’t, in my experience, a holiday that you spend with a person you like. It’s a day you spend with the people you love. Now, I’m not telling you how to live your life, but you don’t have to get on that helicopter."

Something a little different.

the soul felt its worth by hufflepuffhermione | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Josh seeks out some advice about his Christmas stress from a stranded Stanley Keyworth, who shows him that his problems are more romantic than psychological.

.

a Holy Night au

 ‘cause you could be the one that i love by hanyolo for pumpkinpatch95 | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | What follows after that is four years of flirting and yearning, of endless support and kindness, of warm eyes and soft affection. Four years of butterflies and heartache and missed opportunities.

Her point is, Josh is everything she never knew she was looking for in a man. And it pains her to know he’ll never feel the same.

So when she meets Jack Reese on a cold Novembers day, it’s all too easy to convince herself that Jack has what it takes to fill the Josh Lyman sized hole in her heart.

// inspired by the prompt: ‘something, anything that makes donna not get on the helicopter to go see jack’

or: holy night: the rom-com

at the scene of all i've left unlearned by joshatella (shuuuliet) | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | “Is there--,” Donna hesitates, taking a deep breath. “Is there…can you give me any reason why I shouldn’t…why there’s somewhere else I should be, instead of going away with Jack?”

A Holy Night AU.

I Just Want You For My Own by JessBakesCakes | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Between her brain working on overdrive and Josh’s… whatever he’s got going on, she’s got a lot to analyze. It's not what it looks like? What was that supposed to mean? What was it supposed to look like? Of course, for a second, she thought that maybe if she challenged him a little, pushed back just enough to make sure he knew she wasn’t trying to corner him, maybe he’d… let her in?
