#yeah this one is a little unhinged

[reachingforaspark]

WIP Wednesday 

Thank you @fiona-fififi for the tag! I am a little late, but please accept some of my random brain drabbles of a (not really) spec poker fic. Ft major miscommunication, sperm donor arc, there’s only one bed and poker night gone awful.

“Connor, babe! Look who’s here!” Kameron steps back from Buck. 

Eddie squeezes Connor’s hand extra tight when he’s introduced. He hopes it hurts. Not even the soft waterfall sounds piped through the lobby can soften this blow.

Kameron’s still talking. “— and I’m telling him, you can keep the romance! It’ll take a few years, but we’ll get back to it only takes— How old is Chris again?”

“Twelve.” Buck says, reflexively. He’s still staring at Connor and his queasy-ass expression like he doesn’t get it.

“Oh yikes!” Kameron smiles, like she can’t wait. “Well I’m so happy we’ve been able to squeeze this last one in.”

Yeah, Eddie really should have asked more questions.

But how could he, when Buck showed up at the firehouse in his civvies and sat down next to Eddie and said, ‘Boy’s trip’? Eddie’s whole body said yes, responding to Buck with every one of his cells until Buck had said ‘Connor’, when Eddie’s whole body said no. But the next thing Buck had said was ‘Vegas!’. Eddie hates Vegas, hates the lights and the noise and the excess. Hates the way every drunk person stumbling past is another person he feels he has to keep an eye on. He especially hates it now, with the way Buck’s eyes had gleamed, like there was something out in the harsh, hot desert that he couldn’t get in California. Eddie’s been out in the harsh, hot desert, rolled in the sand, seen the heat shimmer on the horizon as water when it was not. 

How could Eddie have asked more questions when his chest was starting to tighten, his breathing was a phantom whistle in his chest because only ten days ago Buck was sitting on Eddie’s couch saying ‘I’ve never been to Italy’ with absolutely no warning and now Buck breathing out ‘Vegas’ like all he sees the mirage? How could Eddie have asked anything at all?

But now he’s in Vegas, in this horrifically expensive resort lobby, while Kameron rubs her hand across her growing stomach and Buck’s shitty ex-housemate Connor is slowly relaxing as Buck continues to cover for him, even when Buck clearly hasn’t caught up yet.

So Eddie should have asked so many fucking questions, and then he wouldn’t be the fourth wheel on a baby moon.

☆ what a kind god, what a cruel god

{☆} characters zhongli {☆} notes cult au, imposter au, drabble, gender neutral reader {☆} warnings blood, light angst {☆} word count 0.5k

You are a kind God - with hands that heal instead of hurt. Words that forgive, instead of rightfully insult. The stories do little justice to the breadth of your gentleness, extending your love to the slimes that coalesce at your feet, eager to know the touch of the Divine. The birds that sing with the wind your praises from upon your shoulder.

But to him, your kindness is so very cruel.

They do not deserve it. He does not deserve it.

Your forgiveness should be a blessing after all they have done, but it feels like swallowing acid instead. It makes him feel sick and lightheaded, throat constricting until he struggles to breath against the weight of his sins, heavy upon his chest.

He wonders if your hatred would be easier. Even apathy, he thinks, would be preferable to the way your screams intermingle with the softness in your voice as you cradle his face between his hands within his dreams. Even in the waking world, your every word is shadowed by broken pleas, drowned in golden ichor as it rises up your throat, silencing your screams - it haunts him, and he cannot handle seeing the way you look at him in concern. He does not deserve it.

Try as he might, he cannot forgive himself. He does not think he ever can - not when he wakes to the feeling of blood on his hands, his tongue, filling his lungs until all he tastes and smells is blood.

If you had been a little less kind, he thinks he would find comfort in your cruelty.

Your anger would be a mercy.

But you are not. You are..kind. Gentle. So many things he once praised on bruised knees at an altar that towered far above him, drowned in gold and silks, every word he speaks a prayer to the most Divine. And he cannot bear the weight of knowing that he could have destroyed that part of you - he cannot bear knowing that he didn't, and you look upon the man who wore your blood like a second skin with a kindness that burns him like a hot iron.

He did not deserve such a loving God.

"..Zhongli?"

He pauses in his internal struggle, hands shaking on his lap. He clenches them into fists, blunt nails digging into his palms until they stop - yet you look at him with furrowed brows, concern gleaming in your eyes, and he feels sick all over again. But for you, he would do anything. Even if it meant pretending he did not feel like a monster in a mortals skin when you smiled at him like he was worth anything.

"Yes, Divine One?"

He chokes down the phantom taste of iron upon his tongue, forcing himself to smile to soothe the worries that crease your brow.

"You said you'd take me to the Chasm today."

He feels..relieved as the worry melts away from your features. It is the very least he can offer - he shall take upon your burdens, your worries, so that you may look upon Teyvat with love, and not fear. He will carry the sins of the many, so that you may look upon the nations with pride, and not horror.

It is all he can do, to ease the way his chest aches when you smile at him, hand tugging at his sleeve and forcing himself unsteadily to his feet.

He does not deserve you - but for today, he can pretend. Just a little while longer.

One does not simply ignore the fact that you fake-kissed while on a mission.

Sabine and Ezra had not spoken in sixteen days.

People were getting suspicious.

Something had to be done.

So, Sabine woman’d up, and cornered Ezra in the Phantom.

“We need to talk,” she announced, a little more menacingly than she meant to.

She kind of expected him to panic and start stammering, but instead he let out a huge sigh of relief.

“Yeah,” he agreed. “We really need to talk.”

“Yeah…” Sabine echoed, suddenly unsure where to go with the conversation. She’d prepared this in her head with him being freaked out, not with him just as eager to get this talked over as she was.

“I don’t think pretending it didn’t happen is working,” he said, after a long pause.

“Brilliant observation, genius. What could possibly have clued you in?” she asked, defaulting to sarcasm before she could stop herself.

Ezra took it with a grin. “I think it was the time you were so concentrated on not looking at me that you walked into a door.”

She… had no idea where to go with that. Because he was right. She’d walked into a door because of him and his stupid pretty eyes. (Not that he knew about the stupid pretty eyes part.)

Ezra flipped down one of the seats, and gestured for her to sit across from him. She did, and he leaned forward, propping his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands.

“Remember how I said you were the best friend I could ever have asked for?” he asked.

“I think your exact words were coolest friend.”

“Best friend, coolest friend… either way.” Ezra seemed to gather himself, then spoke quickly. “Kissing is not something the average person does with their best coolest friend.”

Sabine startled so hard she almost fell out of her seat. “Okay, when I said we needed to talk about it, I didn’t mean so—bluntly—”

He held up his hands and gave her a pleading look. “Just hear me out?”

“…fine. Whatever.”

“Pretending we didn’t kiss is just going to kriff up everything.”

Sabine cleared her throat, feeling red creep up her cheeks. “Can we just… not say…  the, uh… ‘k-word’?”

“Sure. Pretending we didn’t kiss is just going to mess up everything.”

“That wasn’t the k-word I was—”

Sabine stopped as she saw the smile on his face.

He was joking.

But... oh, karabast, that smile.

Her heart started rattling a rapid beat in her chest and she was suddenly short on breath.

She stood up quickly, which did not help with either of those problems. “I need my helmet for this discussion.”

Watched the cereal video and honestly thought you were gonna pour milk in the bag and I was nodding along like “Yeah you deserve to be a little unhinged sometimes” and then you didn’t and I was like

Where’s the cup?? Where is your bowl?????????? Are you going to eat the bag

I put the cereal in my mouth and then poured milk in my mouth. :D

Writing an outsiders pov (Ezra's) of Thrawn's history is hilariouss because without the context we get as the reader it's like: "I committed a number of war crimes so I was exiled to a planet with no spacefairing capability or technology. But don't worry it was actually a secret mission to go investigate the authoritarian Empire that just rose up literally over night with no explicable explanation from the midst of a civil war in Lesser Space to see if they will come help us against an alien invasion force that I can barely proove exists." and the only rational response is 'you were definitely supposed to die of exposure within three months of being dropped off on that planet bud'

Robin: You know, I'm surprised you managed to copy the exact chemicals that made the Joker go insane. They were disposed of after the incident, and literally never remade. Rex: Oh, it wasn't hard. In fact, the chemicals didn't even do much to him, they were just a slightly corrosive material that reduced his melanin, permanently. Robin: Really? Rex: Yeah. He was already crazy before them, but the chemicals just gave him a half-assed excuse for insanity. Superboy: So... doesn't that just mean you knowingly dumped Joker Junior into acid? Rex: Well when you say it like that it sounds bad.

He is made of glass, wears a necklace of teeth, smokes, and will try to mimic your appearance and replace you, but he is your friend!!! :D I love the X68000/Chronicles doppelgänger he’s one of the enemies of all time :3. Banger music in that level too, Tower of Dolls is one of my favorites!

Damirae Movie/Book AUs but they get more and more unhinged

The Little Mermaid: Raven's lived in the demon world her own life, desperately wants to escape her father and become human. To do so, she makes a deal with a notorious human wizard who spends a large portion of his time in the demon realm (John Constantine). He's genuinely trying to help her, but reminds her that with magic there is always a price to be paid. While her body will be able to venture into the human world, her voice will have to stay trapped there. She gets on land, she meets up with the asshole of a prince (Damian Wayne) that she once saved the life of. He doesn't trust her at first, but grows to love her. Featuring Bruce Wayne as a "skeptical but ultimately wants the best for his son" King, Dick Grayson as the "trying to get these two lovebirds hitched" Adopted Prince, Kory as the "I am from a different world too. You do not need to say anything, but know you have a friend in my" princess by marriage, John Constantine as "Magic has its price, but I will try to help you in whatever way I can" and Trigon trying to destroy the world as the third act conflict!

The Holidate: Damian is tired of having to find some girl to hold on his arm for every single Wayne Gala and family function. Raven, is sick of Kory droning on and on about how it is totally fine that she is single for the holidays. At Kory and Dick's holiday party, Raven and Damian meet for the first time and strike up a deal to simply be each other's date to every holiday function and Wayne gala. But uh oh they're gonna fall in love. Featuring: paparazzi losing their minds at Damian Wayne's new girl, angry confessions, Kory and Dick rooting for the crazy kids, and two people who don't believe in love starting to change their ways.

We're the Millers: Down on his luck, John Constantine made a deal with some bad people and now he has to smuggle some very illegal magical artifacts across the border. Problem is, doing it on his own would look incredibly suspicious. So, he enlists the help of the beautiful small time magician Zatanna and the street rat Raven to pretend to be his family. Things do not go well, but get even worse when they run into an old friend of Zatanna's and have to genuinely pretend to be a family. But despite their wealth, the Waynes don't really seem that perceptive, so how bad could it be? Featuring: Dick Grayson forcing the Wayne family to go on a bonding trip, Damian hating the trip until he meets Raven, Batman showing up???, Zatanna trying to set up Damian and Raven and John actively trying to sabotage it.

Just like me frfr. you just drew me but if i had long hair and more bastard swagger that's so coolio bro what the freaksauce... ALSO keeping his belt and piercings make me to happy forever and ever but swagever ! Im normal ^_^ WAITTT also the "coverupslut" tits thing is really funny to me obviously he couldn't be walking around like that in the Real World because it's lame and doesn't support his transgender swagger but I really love how you kept his midriff and the teensiest tiniest little bit of a happy trail because he fucking WOULD wouldn't he. he WOULD fucking look like that. and !! speaking of speaking of that his black crop top thing works really well with both his style and his style of dancing which I think is so awesome sauce broski AND THE BLACK NAILS.

[bardicious]

Okay, okay, okay, one thing I don't like about First Class, and its technically a big one, Sebastian Shaw should not have been a mutant. Like that dude didn't do much of anything with his powers till the end anyway. But he could have manipulated many mutants in the camps to think they were his creation. And simply manipulated them to be loyal.

It's one of those glaring things, that makes Erik's argument fall apart, Erik attempts to kill all humans because they supposedly can't be trusted, but being tortured by Shaw should have shown him that being mutant didn't make you all that great either. Shaw leaves a flaw in Erik's thinking that's always irritated me.

Where as, if they did have Charles experimented by both his own father (human) and Mr. Sinister(mutant), while having a stepfather that was human as well and didn't hate Charles, but a step brother who was also experimented on and might be some kind of mutant beating Charles. Plus Raven's perceived revulsion of Charles' telepathy. Charles may have at least had a well rounded understanding that it's not mutants or humans that are terrible, but its the whole lot of them and can't even be distinguished by Charles.

That's a real big flaw, tho, making Shaw a mutant, I don't think I can cope. lmao.

TWENTY YEARS oh lord i can’t believe you wrote this when you were fourteen!! i did not have nearly half the talent at that age, nor the patience and work ethic to write as much as you did… you were a machine! (this is jily titanic anon In case it wasn’t clear lol)

I don't know if I'd call it work ethic when I really was just a lil fucking nerd who spent most of her time writing whenever and wherever I got the chance, and had a pretty minimal social life so I could be on the computer all the time. If anything, I was ambitious and wanted to rule the fandom as a Big Name Fan and get published at 19 (lol), like a teen with no serious responsibilities would.

Also, not to sound like a boomer, but fandom really was a different place back then. There weren't as many distractions as there are now. Social media didn't exist, so fic and art were some of the main ways to participate in fandom outside of message boards and fan sites. You could make gifs or videos, but you had to have money, skill, and good tech to do that, so that was out of reach for kids like me who were always using a refurbished computer one operating system behind. So I stuck with what I could do, writing and drawing.

Obviously, only one of those stuck, and that's how I ended up carting all of these around with me for the rest of my adult life.

(If I had work ethic, I would've finished those fics!!!)
