#yet another au i'd be interested in writing but there's only so many hours in a day SIGH

[anticidic]

Thinking about a paranormal AU with Soukoku where they're live streamers who go around locally and around Japan checking out haunted/deserted places to bust the myth or prove whether or not there's something spooky going on somewhere.

They want to solve the age-old question: do ghosts really exist?

Dazai and Chuuya try to keep it lighthearted when they're exploring abandoned hospitals or schools but deep down they're just trying not to shit their pants at every little creak and groan in giant buildings. But it's a competition between them and the viewers to see who scares more easily: Dazai or Chuuya.

So sometimes Dazai will magically disappear when Chuuya's not looking, and it gives Chuuya the creeps when he's talking and talking, then looks behind and realizes Dazai isn't there anymore. But then Dazai jumps out from behind a door and screams BOO! — he startles Chuuya, but Chuuya just kinda flinches and wants to reflexively punch Dazai in the face for doing that, so he ends up scaring Dazai instead when he swings a fist.

They'd made sure to stream their separate POVs and the viewers keep hopping back and forth between Dazai's POV and Chuuya's POV whenever something creepy's happening like Dazai walking through a dark, deserted tunnel or Chuuya crawling through holes in walls.

I feel like they're both the type that if they get scared by something at the same time, to cling to each other for dear life, and then when the adrenaline wears off, they just look at each other like wtf get off me and quickly push each other away.

22, 23, 33, 37 for the writing asks <3

Hey there, anon! Thanks for the awesome questions!

22. What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again?

Yes, what is it?? Science should answer that lol

The only ships that generate this obsession in me are the non-canonical ones. I'll read canon ships, sometimes, but with the exception of wangxian, I don't get obsessed with them. If a ship is canonically together, then I feel fulfilled. Damen and Laurent are happy in canon, I'm satisfied and I feel the sense of completion. I might (rarely) read AUs or a PWP but canon-set fics don't interest me much.

With non-canonical ships, it's like there's an inch that I need to scratch again and again and again. An unexplored potential that is so vast that I need many many stories to explore the depths and breadths of it. Their getting together could've happened a million different ways: perhaps during a canon event, or maybe post-canon when one becomes a bartender or a spy or a recluse or a pop-star. There isn't an official version so I need all the other versions, every single one.

23. Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?

I'm not sure if the question is which one I prefer writing or which one I find easy, but the answer is both. More or less. Not easy in the sense that I get them right the first time, but they're both elements I enjoy working on. I love the challenge of giving a short but evocative description of the setting and I tend to include descriptions in my stories. I do appreciate fics with a strong sense of setting.

I'm also a huge fan of dialogue and I spend a lot of time working on it. In Hush, darling, I spent a good two hours editing six lines of dialogue. But when I got them right, the feeling of satisfaction was immense. They conveyed precisely what I wanted them to. I pay a lot of attention on dialogue while reading, too. It's not easy to get it right or to make it stand out, but some people are fantastic at it.

The thing I don't find easy: plot.

33. Give your writing a compliment.

Ugh this isn't easy. I'd say that I write decent dialogue. I think I'm good at that.

37. Do you research before writing or while you write? Is it fun or boring for you?

I do, both before and during, if necessary. Not for the short fics--many of those are a case of sitting down and getting 2-3k out on a doc and then posting it.

But for the longer fics I've often done research. There are two types of research I do: the first, before I begin writing, is more a gathering inspiration activity. I'll try to find a song to capture the mood I'm going for, look at art and photographs of settings and landscapes to be inspired, let myself wander and browse and see what clicks. This is something I do enjoy.

The second type is the actual research, as in looking up a specific piece of information like what kind of plants grow there, or the average rainfall in wherever. In The Miseducation of Draco Malfoy I did LOADS of research, and it's one of the features of the fic. Even in 9 ½ Days, which doesn't require much research, I did spend a fair bit of time examining the google maps of an area where my characters wandered in.

I don't find it boring per se. I feel I need to do it and I do it, I don't have a lot of feelings about it. If I do get bored by something I'm researching, I usually give up and avoid writing it. Life's too short for boredom.

Random Crossover Notes

I don't intend to actually write this (even as an AU outline; at least not yet; I'm hoping it will either die and/or interest some of the maybe five people who are invested in both fandoms enough to be worth exploring further, lol).

But it came bursting back into my head tonight and in an effort to get it out, going to ramble a bit!

This is a Wheel of Time/Battlestar Galactica crossover. (Of the...it's not a fusion exactly; and it's not a 'the Fleet stumbles across this world' direct crossover; it's 'characters from BSG exist and have always existed on this planet and fit into the fabric of this world'. That kind of crossover. the second kind could Also be interesting but that is another problem I Do Not Need

This includes decisions about:

Baltar

Caprica

Tory

Roslin

Billy

Starbuck (though not much)

Some speculation/vague thoughts about Lee and Zarek

Also includes an OC of mine.

Part of why I don't intend to actually Write It is I don't...really have all that much yet.

This did originally exist 10-15 years ago; back when I wrote a single one-shot and had plans for a much longer AU in WoT and was active in BSG fandom. Accordingly, it's more aligned with book!verse than show!verse, though I'd probably bring in some show!verse stuff I liked if I were actually writing the thing. How many of the original details I'm actually remembering (beyond the First Concept Idea) and how are new as of the past few hours, IDEK. It does also involve an OC of mine because screw it, this is my self-indulgent BS, I wanna.

((She could probably be cut in this case but. Again. Mine. I wanna. XD))

Anyway.

So, as with a lot of my initial Concepts, this starts with Baltar. Obviously, he's a channeler.

He's also Seanchan.

He's da'covale, but da'covale to a Very high-ranking High Lord, meaning he has higher status than some of the Lower Blood. He has yet to be identified as a channeler.

My OC, as usual, is Atia, his daughter. She's marath'damane and is well aware of what she is. She's...been raised in this culture, and wouldn't resist the searchers/sul'dam when they come for her...except she's aware of what her father is. She doesn't like the idea of him being gentled/killed and while there's only so much she can do to help she feels like she has to do Something.

Caprica is a sul'dam, in service to the same High Lord/Lady as Gaius and Atia. She and Gaius meet and fall in love with each other; at some point she twigs onto either him or Atia, and the three of them run away together. Not sure if they manage to find a place in the Return fleet or if they cross the ocean All By Themselves, but.

And then at Some point they run into some subset of the WoT cast but...yeah, this is pretty much as far as I got XD Gaius would probably eventually end up at the Black Tower. He and Caprica would probably be Very Into the idea of Warder-bonding each other when they get there.

...and yeah, that's about as far as I got, lol. Figuring out where other BSG characters might fit into this world is...complicated, lol. Partly because only half-remembering the tapestry of cultures/alliances/etc.; partly because in a couple of cases there are roles that would fit An aspect of a character but Very Much Not others (e.g., I can honestly see Lee aligning himself with Galad's subset of the Whitecloaks except there is zero chance of Bill as a Whitecloak sooooooooo yeah. Athena would be either another sul'dam or Aiel, I can't decide which works better. ...actually, Aiel; she and Boomer are both Shaido but Athena breaks with her clan when the Aiel fracture? Or something...)

Anyway, if anyone else has any thoughts I'd appreciate them XD

ETA: So I myself had some additional thoughts, lol.

First--Starbuck and Mat. They just. They would either be Instant Bros or Thoroughly Despise One Another there is no in between. They're just. Like. If I was doing a Fusion, Starbuck would 100% fill the Mat role, they are so much alike and I love them both for it. Anyway, I lean towards timelining it so they can be Bros because that's way more interesting/fun for me personally. See above re: self-indulgence, lol. (They have also slept together at least twice.)

Second--Zarek might actually be interesting as a Whitecloak. Not in the sense that he fully believes/buys into their rhetoric, but...I don't know, it could fit his blend of 'I believe some of this, but I'm also using it as an avenue to gain Power.' And again with the Lee vibes, especially if Lee starts Considering joining as part of the storyline, even if he doesn't start there? IDK though, I keep going back and forth on this one.

Next, Roslin. I toyed with a few different options for her. She's definitely not an Aes Sedai; initially I was thinking she might be the head of one of the groups like the Kin (if I'm remembering the name right? The women who were rejected by the Tower and formed their own quiet underground networks) or an Aiel Wise One. But then I realized--you know who absolutely is an Aes Sedai?

Tory (probably Grey ajah, maybe White).

So then it all falls into place. We squeeze a little country/principality somewhere onto the map; normally the ruler there wouldn't merit an Aes Sedai advisor, but after a messy/disputed succession, Siuan did agree to send someone, and that someone was Tory. Billy, of course, is Roslin's son/heir.

Still thinking about where anyone/everyone else might fit, but also this line:

Caprica--In the end, we're not much more than thieves. We stole a damane. We stole an a'dam. ...we stole ourselves.

...so yeah. XD And now opening it up for additional thoughts.

[theflyingfeeling]

You said you're still doing the AU's. So Fantasy underwater like Mermaids and such with Niko/Joonas?

Ooh, lovely! And I'm gonna go ahead and assume you want both of them to be mermen? Because otherwise I'd be very tempted to write THE most tragic "human falls in love for a merman" summary you've EVER had the misfortune to read, like, H. C. Andersen who?? ..But I shan't 😇

Merman!Niko is obsessed with the shipreck he discovered the other day. He goes there on a daily basis and spends hours exploring it, often dragging one of his friends along, especially if the currents are strong (it's easier to swim together, while holding hands of course 🥰)

Aleksi, for instance, is always happy to go with him, as he loves discovering new thingamabobs to use as instruments in his one-man band. Joel is his biggest fan and so sweet for him that he's always down to going with Niko in Aleksi's stead whenever he can't go himself and bring him new gadgets and gizmos aplenty (Aleksi has a condition in his fin and can't swim long distances for too many days in a row) 🧜‍♂️

Tommi doesn't care about the shipwreck but offers to stand in guard for sharks so that Niko can adventure inside the ship in peace [insert a comedic scene where Niko is singing to himself, focused on his shipwreck investigations, while Tommi is wrestling a tiger shark outside the ship] 🦈

Olli is not interested in the ship either, as much as he is in the pearl oysters that inhabit it. He knows it's a shot in the dark, but one day he hopes he'll have enough pearls to make a bracelet and give it to a certain someone as a symbol of his undying love 🦪

And then there's Joonas, whose only goal on the trips to the shipwreck is to make Niko happy 🥺 He finds it impossibly endearing how excited Niko gets whenever he discovers something new or finds another piece of the broken handmirror he thinks looks exceptionally beautiful

"Do you know what else is exceptionally beautiful?" Joonas asks him

"What?"

"You," Joonas says and kisses Niko on the cheek 🥺

Niko blushes, because they're not officially dating yet, but they truly have become better friends during the long, lazy swims back to the nautical city of..Ouluntis? 😅

Joonas could spend days just observing Niko as he swims around the shipwreck, already knowing it as well as he knows his own maritime home. Sometimes Joonas finds something too and tends to make fun out of it, such as pushing his head through the rotten canvas still attached to a fancy-looking picture frame and making silly faces. Niko rolls his eyes but laughs, that's how fond of this idiot he is 💕

Niko likes to imagine stories about life on that ship when it was still stailing afloat, and Joonas always listens to every word with utmost care. His favourite is the one about a princess and a streetrat who fall in love against all odds. He often asks Niko to repeat that story, and Niko happily grants his wish, only Joonas can't help but wonder why Niko becomes sad all of a sudden every time right before he gets to the ending which Joonas is yet to hear. Joonas is curious to know what happens in the end, for it to make Niko so melancholy.. 🚢

Even treasure hunting can be strenuous work sometimes, so when Niko gets bored of his shipwreck studies, Joonas likes to entertain him by initiating silly roleplays. Niko loves the one where Joonas is an unsuspecting captain of the ship, humming as he pretends to steer it by the rudder that is still in surprisingly good condition, and Niko is a siren that lures the poor mariner to certain doom. It is during that game that they share their very first kiss 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

..After which the shipwreck becomes not only a place for Niko's investigations but also their making-out hide-out. Their friends would never let them hear the end of it if they knew about them, after so many years of insisting they're just friends

Over ther years, the shipwreck keeps decaying gradually, much to Niko's misery, but they still swim there on their anniversary each year 💖

Mentor Day

Note : In This AU, Hawks is adopted by the todoroki Family, enji is a good dad and dabi is not a villain. And Todoroki's Mom is a Hero.

Pairings : Jealous! Hawks x Reader

Writing style: 3rd Person

Warning : Cussing

Word count : 3623

3rd Person's POV

" I'm so excited for Today! I can't wait to meet your Mentors! " Kirishima yelled with enthusiasm punching the air.

Everyone was gathered around Ground Beta for the sole reason that the Head of Agencies they were currently interning in were coming over to discuss the growth of the students, also because they chose U.A as the meeting Venue knowing that it's one of the places in Japan that is Highly guarded and secured and the School was Near the City so if anything were to happen they could always get there in a jeepy. There was another Reason but it wasn't disclosed to any of the students and nobody questioned it.

" Shut Up shitty Hair! " Bakugou snarled smacking Kirishima who seemed to be unaffected by Bakugou's ' affection ' towards him.

" Hey aren't You and Tokoyami Under Hawks's? The number 2 Pro Hero!? " Mina pointed out and suddenly everyone's attention was now settled on Y/n and Tokoyami.

Tokoyami had an unreadable expression but his face mostly showed that he was awkward and uncomfortable with the Topic. Not because of His Mentor... It's because of His Mentor's Interest.

Y/n on the other hand looked annoyed pissed, it was very obvious that neither of the two wanted to talk about it because of the lack of answer and their current expressions.

" So... What's it Like to be Under Pro Hero Hawks? " Momo began to press deeper onto the subject and was oblivious to her two classmate's look of disapproval. And it seems like she wasn't the only curious one.

" Well? " Jiro raised a brow when they didn't hear an answer. The two were very hesitant until y/n finally spoke up.

" Tokoyami-kun would I be breaking the law if I talk shit about him? "

" Eeehhhh!? " Everyone was confused as to why the sudden change of their classmate's personality took shift at a questionable rate.

" Technically there's no law about that and since he's not here to hear it... It's fine " Tokoyami answered with a straight face and his response got everyone questioning their experience even more.

" What the hell happened to you two while you were there? " Denki asked staring at the two. Tokoyami was hesitant but y/n just looked pissed and angry .

She showed irritation that could match Bakugou's.

" That's not something you should be asking me... You should be asking y/n that... I just had the unfortunate privilege to witness... That.... And I know a very dark secret I wish to unlearn " Tokoyami muttered at Everyone was fidgeting with curiosity while staring at y/n who looked like she was about to explode any minute now.

" Well if you Must know. On the first week I had to endure a bunch of whiny one night stand's Drama and Rage while trying to get them to go fuck themselves and trust me... Persuading a bunch of love struck delusional hoes to go home and keep silent for the rest of their lives isn't a very charming job. I had to suck in every single cheesy pick up lines that'll have anyone gagging, I had to endure being dragged around through the wonderful 'skies' like a ragdoll in the most unfortunate hour and I had to deal with Birdman's constant fuckery every single day so yeah... It wasn't that bad.... It was terrible. " Y/n's tone was forcefully dragged out and polite but her hostile expression got everyone shuddering.

Yes, Hawks was a flirt and he'd flirt with her with every chance he got, much to y/n's dismay. But knowing Hawks's reputation she brushed it off like it was one of his most common habits and got used to ignoring him, he was nice though and she felt like a sheltered child. Hawks never let's her go out to patrol on her own unless it's with Him and only Him. He constantly brings her gifts and snacks to which she is thankful and greatly flattered but she didn't like hearing Rumors about her with the Pro Hero himself. Overall she was thankful that she was being treated well but she didn't appreciate the special treatment.

Tokoyami on the other hand knew of his Mentor's love and affection for his Classmate, if he knew any better he found out that Hawks had imprinted on y/n like a new born chick. The reason Tokoyami knew that was because of the gifts, the flirting, Hawks's constant need to be around y/n, His possessiveness and Don't even get Tokoyami started on How much Hawks talks about y/n during patrol. Hell, Even when Hawks is literally stepping on a Villain's Face he'd still talk about How ' Perfect she was ' . At most of all, his Classmate was very unaware of Hawks's actual feelings and he's afraid he couldn't blame her simply because of Hawks's reputation as a 'playboy'.

" Wow.... I didn't think it would be like that.... Hawks's still pretty cool though " Sero muttered and that left y/n gawking at him because the least they could do was sympathize with her!.

" No shit " She grumbled sarcastically and she felt two hands grab hold of her shoulder behind her and speaking of the Devil, Hawks was already here.

" Hey there chicken nugget, what are you kids talking about? " Hawks asked leaning down , resting his chin on y/n's shoulder while both of his hands clamped down on each side of her shoulder blades protectively.

" Nothing Hawks, we were Talking about Nothing " Y/n who was already immune to the Touchiness of the male behind her was nonchalant on her reply and she sounded bored but her expression clearly showed ' Oh No, Not this Shit Again ' .

" Oh really? Well ok then baby bird but I have to say You look Perfect little dove but that is to be expected by my Epitome of beauty " Hawks grinned rubbing his cheeks against y/n's own in a very affectionate manner.

" Yeah, Yeah. Get off me Birdman you're getting that irritating Chicken stench on me " Y/n grumbled pushing him away from her to which she was successful with.

" Aww~ But you felt so soft " Hawks whined in an almost childish way.

Everyone was witnessing the very thing Tokoyami dreaded and they were choking on their own spit after seeing the interaction between the two.

They and so many questions yet so little answer and they knew they couldn't just bombard y/n with questions, not when Hawks was around.

" Uhh... You two seem.. Close" Denki commented to where he earned a proud grin from Hawks.

" No we're Not. He's just being A flirt, you'll Get used to it " Y/n snickered rolling her eyes at Hawks who was trying to hug her.

" You should have heard How much He talks about her at Home... He's like a broken Radio. Y/n this and that " Todoroki snorted and his comment got everyone gaping.

It didn't look that way to everyone else, it was clear that the Pro Hero liked her if throwing himself around her wasn't enough, the look in his eyes definitely spoke otherwise.

" So this is the little Lassy Hawks have been talking about? " Fatgum along with the rest of the pro Heroes Were slowly gathering towards them.

" This is Her? She's adorable in person . Keigo Never stops talking about her at home" Another voice came from a woman with white hair, and is almost identical to Shoto.

" .... Hah! You should hear what he has to say when he's asleep " Dabi murmured with a laugh.

" .... You Talk about me? " Y/n asked staring at Hawks who was nodding his head, a smirk plastered on his face.

" Ewww, Stop that. It's annoying and creepy " Y/n sighed shoving Hawks away.

" Isn't she lovely? " Rei mumbled a small chuckle escaping her lips as Dabi stared at her in bewilderment .

" So you're not gonna question their age gap?..... Really mom? " Dabi snorted and enji stood behind him, patting his back.

" You know how your mother is " Enji muttered staring down at his son.

" You have a point.... "

____________________

By now everyone was gathered around, some of them chatting with their mentors and some were meeting their classmate's other mentors.

Rei, Enji and Dabi were intently observing Keigo who looked so close to snapping, sure his face looked playful and relaxed but they knew him well enough to know that it was Keigo's facade.

On the other side was Y/n and Hawks talking to Fat gum, well it was only y/n showing enthusiasm about their conversation, Hawks had never left her side the whole time. Always trailing behind her like a lost puppy.

" That's really cool! I heard from Kirishima that you have two Forms? " Y/n's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

" Why yes little lady " Fat gum answered as he nervously glanced at Hawks. He could feel the raging intensity of Hawks's Jealousy radiating brighter than the sun's ray. To which y/n was oblivious of.

" Ya know buddy, you really have nothing to worry about when it's me " Fat gum stated his words directed towards Hawks who let out a sigh and gave him a genuine smile for once.

" Sorry, I couldn't help it when it comes to my little dove " Hawks chuckled slinging his arm around her shoulder and y/n immediately reacted by shoving his arm away without even glancing at him.

" Stop talking about me like I'm not here " Y/n muttered to which Hawks replied by doing it again and y/n shoved his arm again.

Fat gum was both entertained and a bit awkward with the situation until he spotted his side kick. Tamaki whom he had kindly asked to pick up something for him

" Anyways! That's enough you two, I'd like you to meet Tamaki Amajiki. He's my sidekick " Fat gum proudly introduced Tamaki who froze in his spot and began trembling nervously.

" Oh wow! I've heard so much about him! Our class was introduced to him before! But I never got to see his face clearly because he had his face on the wall the whole time! Let's start all over again. Hey I'm y/n l/n! Nice to meet you senpai... For the second time " Y/n grinned putting her hand out to shake his.

Tamaki who was nervous and flattered that someone remembered him shakily reached out his hand to shake hers but a look of pure shock flashed through his face when Another hand met his.

" Nice to meet you Buddy " Hawks grinned in an odd and threatening manner squeezing poor Tamaki's hand .

" U-u-uhh" Tamaki stuttered at y/n was annoyed at Hawks's actions.

" Hey! I was the-- you know what? Never mind. Anyway, senpai I heard stories about you from Kirishima-kun! And I think you're really cool! And you're cuter up close! " Y/n tried easing the nervous senior with compliments in order to atone the actions of Hawks. But Hawks took it in a different way.

Tamaki flushed red and Hawks let go of his hand with disdain, his eyes having a deadly glint and his smirk almost looked threatening and sadistic.

Fat gum who witnessed the scene knew he fucked up by calling Tamaki over, the Todoroki family were astonished to see how reactive Hawks could be when y/n was involved. At home he was really hard to read and when they thought they knew him Hawks suddenly surprises everyone by proving them wrong. But now his expression looks so raw and unmasked.

" Tsk, He doesn't Look much to Me " Hawks suddenly spat out in an irritated tone.

Y/n elbowed him after seeing Tamaki's expression.

" He doesn't mean that! He's just really insensitive... Aren't you Hawks? " Y/n glared at the man beside her and he scoffed looking away.

" You're actually really powerful Senpai! Trust me! Kirishima talks about you all the time it's adorable seeing him look up to someone who's equally as cute as Kirishima " Y/n tried covering the damage done by Hawks and Tamaki was conflicted. He didn't know who to believe anymore.

Another scoff was heard from Hawks and before he could make another comment y/n stepped on his feet making him wince.

" Ouch! " He grumbled looking down at y/n who was glaring at him threateningly.

Jealousy bubbled at the very core of Hawks, She called two men cute at the same time and she dared to do it in front of him! He praised men who aren't him. Sure they aren't official but isn't it clear that he was showing how much he could give her? He knows he's enough but it seems like his little dove was very dense. It's starting to irritate him. He didn't feel good inside and he really wanted to punch a bitch. Was she taunting him? Oh she definitely was. Just look at how she looks at them , it really makes him want to rip off someone's throat.

His wings began to bristle and rose intimidatingly the edges becoming sharp and ridged, jealousy was getting the best of him.

With a rough Tug, he dragged her away forcefully even with the harsh protest from the girl.

" Hey! Ok this is getting out of hand! " Y/n pulled her hand away and Hawks looked back at her with a gaze that could kill.

" Stop taunting me Y/n. I'm not handling it well " Hawks muttered but his voice was rough and demanding. Y/n shivered at how her name rolled out of his tongue. He never uses that tone or calls out her name like that unless she's in deep shit.

" Clearly, you're mad about shit I didn't do so go cool off or something " Y/n shot back her expression was out of sheer anger and Hawks responded by spreading his wings and he flew off without another word.

With a sigh y/n went back to her classmates, she was unaware if the stares that were thrown her way.

" A lovers quarrel? " Mt. Lady mumbled.

" Definitely a Lovers Quarrel " Fat gum confirmed.

" Is no one seriously questioning the fact about their age gap? " Dabi stated and Rei gave him a cold glare. Even shoto was seen glaring at him from his group.

" Ok fine jeez " Dabi shrugged shoving his hands into his pockets.

_____________________

20 minutes had passes and Hawks was still gone, by that time everyone was gathered around, the class was seated on the ground as the Pros started giving out their opinions and deductions on hm their performance.

Rei began to feel worried about her adopted son that had raged out of the area. Enji tried reassuring her that Keigo was old enough to take care of himself.

And on cue Hawks had arrived holding a box in his hand, he looked calmer now and more relaxed.

" Keigo dear, are you ok? " Rei asked approaching the male.

" Yeah I'm fine... Just needed a little breather.... " He muttered, his eyes glued to y/n who was listening intently to the discussion. Rei noticed this and a smile graced her lips.

" Go get her dear " Rei encouraged the male and Hawks flashed her a grin.

" Oh I will. And I'm going to make sure you're going to have a daughter in law soon " Keigo smugly stated and Rei's eyes widened only to have the woman laugh.

Luckily the little lessons the Pro's were conducting had finished and everyone was free. As the students began to stand up. Y/n was pulled away immediately by Hawks. And once she was a few feet away a box was shoves towards her. She was caught off guard but managed to hold it in her hands as she lookes up at Hawks questioningly.

" What's this? " The girl asked suspiciously.

" You like that doughnut shop near our agency yeah? I was flying by and decided to buy some for you as a Sorry present.. I admit that I went overboard... " Hawks explained rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

" What!? I can't accept thi---"

" Eat it or Throw it. I'm giving it to you and that's final so do what you want with it... Although it would be a waste if you throw it away... I did go out of my way to buy that for you with my own money even though I was still angry---"

" Ok fine you don't have to guilt trip me! I'll accept it ok?.... But you did say I could do what I want with it so... I'm sharing this with everyone " Y/n smiled and Hawks snapped his head towards her his eyebrows furrowed.

" What? No. I bought that For YOU not for them " Hawks grumbled and the girl gave him a playful smirk.

" You did say it was mine and I could do whatever I want with it " She replied slyly and Hawks turned away stomping his way towards Rei, Enji and Dabi.

" Ooo... You got it Bad. She's denser than a--"

" Don't finish that Touya I swear " Hawks glared at Dabi who only laughed at his protectiveness.

" Just be patient Keigo, she is young and she probably still doesn't have Love on her mind yet " Rei assured Keigo while rubbing his back.

" Tsk. You better not give up. You're a Todoroki after all , and I already acknowledge her as a daughter in law... No crazy woman would stomp their feet on the number 2 hero like that " Enji nodded and Hawks should be delighted but his eyes were glued to the girl.

She was sharing the doughnuts he bought for her and the last straw came when she had fed Kirishima with a doughnut.

His fathers on his wings bristled and the ends began to sharpen, his eyes darkened at the sight and his teeth were gritted.

The girl took notice of this and approached him. God he was losing it. One wrong move and he might forget the fact that she's still a minor and just go straight up to breeding her if he had to. Fuck everything she does is turning him on . He is smitten.

" Hey what's wrong? "

" You have the guts to ask me ' What's wrong?' Oh why don't ask that to all the other guys you fed doughnuts to? The ones I bought for you! You're so oblivious it's starting to piss me off little dove. Was I not subtle enough? I fucking Like---mphf--" Hawks was cut off when a Doughnut was shoved in his mouth by the girl in front of him.

" Shut your worm Hole You stupid Birdman, I like you too ok? But please stop being so annoying. I'm also protecting your reputation as a Hero here. I can't have you all over the tabloids stating that you like a high schooler. You'd be seen as a pedophile you dumbass " The girl finished and was about to pull her hand away from his mouth when he grabbed hold of her wrist, he kissed her finger gingerly before licking and sucking on that very finger she held the doughnut .

She froze, Dabi Froze, Everyone froze.

" What the fuck? " Katsuki was she first to speak up.

" I second that ' What the fuck ' " Y/n muttered and Hawks gave her a look that could have her melt into a puddle. A smug and triumphant grin plastered on his face as his arms wrapped around her waist possessively.

" Awww~ it warms my heart to know that you're protecting me that way. For a moment there I thought you don't care and all that shitty jealousy was so worth it because you told me you like me in the end.... " Hawks cooed his face nearing hers and she immediately distanced her face away from him.

" Hawks get off me! " She yelled her face was flushed and he had the sudden urge to kiss her right now.

" You'll have to pay for making me jealous though. It was not a very pretty feeling " Hawks grinned before his wings spread open and gave one strong flap and he was already flying her away from the scene.

" Holy shit.... Dude " Denki muttered staring up at the sky.

" Enji! Do you think we should renovate the house? " Rei asked enthusiastically.

" I think we just might have to " Enji replied.

" .... I ship it though " Mina stated and the girls gave an unspoken agreement to her statement.

" So... How many chicks do you think they'll have? " Dabi asked and Rei smacked him.

" Touya! " Rei scolded making Dabi chuckle.

" Nah it's too early... He won't knock her up just yet... Or will he? " Dabi grinned and this time Rei had frozen him in place.

" Touya! Stop that! " Rei fumed.

Dabi shut up immediately fearing Rei's wrath after seeing her angry expression.

20 Questions, Writer’s Edition!

Thank you @ailec-12 for the tag!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

35, mostly one-shots

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

41 119 words

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Only two in AO3: Percy Jackson (and its sequels), and The Century Trilogy

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

A Tale of a New Beginning

The Benefit of Doubt

A Hundred and Fifty Nine Hours

A Doctor for a Sick Patient

Happy Coming Of Age

5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yep, I try to. I sometimes forget but if somebody is nice enough to comment, I try to be kind and reply, besides I love it when authors answer to my comments on their works

6. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

For all that I love angst, the only two I can think that have an angsty ending are "Isn't Blood Thicker Than Water?" and "Boy's Telegram"

7. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

I'm not sure it's the happiest, but it's hopeful and I like it: "Shut Up, Six, A Ten Is Speaking"

8. Do you write crossovers? If so, what's the craziest one you've written?

I haven't yet, but I have a few thought out. Definitely a Star Wars+Riordanverse one, and a HP+Riordanverse too

9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I don't think I have, I can't remember if I did

10. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nope, but if I did, I'd write full feelings, not much porn (a disappointment to many people, no me cabe duda)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I know of a fic that's similar enough to one I did, but since it's not exactly the same... admittedly, I haven't the balls to straight up ask, so that's on me

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yep, somebody translated a fic of mine into Russian, I'm very honoured

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, but it sounds fun. Wait, no, my cousin and I did write a hilariously cringe fic on the summer we were 12 or 13... I think we should publish it to make people laugh

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Hard question. I have many. Ironically, the ship I've written the most about is one I don't like much anymore

15. What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

I have a suspense story I've written enough of, but I'm missing crucial bits. I have a bunch of historical AUs for Percy Jackson, the other day I found a couple of Harry Potter ideas... I have lots I want to finish but I'm slow and easily distracted

16. What are your writing strengths?

I have no idea. I'm careful with dates and ages and that shit, if chronological consistency is a strength, then it's mine

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I don't proof read. And I'm not great with dialogue (too many descriptions)

18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I prefer using only short phrases, or even just words, to imply they're speaking another language. Perhaps let the reader know by explicitly saying they've switched languages.. I'm not a fan of full dialogues in other languages because going back to the notes to find the translations is tiresome

19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Percy Jackson with my cousin, but although I can't remember for sure, I'm almost certain I must've written for Harry Potter or Narnia when I was a little girl

20. What's your favourite fic you've written?

Uuuufff... em.. I'm terribly fond of: "Of Babysitting and Disney Features", "Nerds", "Happy Coming of Age" (found family is my favourite trope), and "It's Called A Cruel Irony" (it was interesting to get into the mind of an objectively not nice person)

Tagging (no pressure): @malloryiswlw @liperbicons @blackpebbletoad @crushing-on-nico-di-angelo @euriipides and whoever else wants to do it!

Me again. Am I annoying you yet?

10 with hmmm I'd say JasTor but jangobi is okay too 🥺

‘Shh, I’m trying to listen to your heart.’

Annoy me? With these, never!

I gave you angst for the last one so enjoy some JasTor fluff, and this, this is one of those AU’s where Tor isn’t evil, which is your fault. They’re still young though, things could change. Haha.

———

Life as a Mandalorian could be hard, especially when the pacifist aruetii had taken their homes, and land and left them nomadic, or at best living on the other Mandalorian planets.

Jaster was only 18, but the year before he’d been named the Ven’alor for their group. He’d be Mand’alor when their current Alor retired. They had no heirs of their own, no ade blood or otherwise, but they’d been mentoring Jaster since his Buire had died and it had come to no surprise as many when he’d been named.

Some had expected it to be Tor, he was a Vizsla, he was strong and proud and dangerous, and a courageous leader. On the other hand Jaster was meeker, still fierce in combat and deadly when needed, but he was a history nut, he loved politics and history and he had an aptitude for the things needed to run a clan and group, beyond what was needed in combat or for jobs.

But as more and more of the roles for clan leader fell into his shoulders, finances and planning and sorting out schooling for ade and care for the injured temporarily or permanently, not to mention writing his Codex... it was exhausting.

But Jaster had managed to snag a few hours in the afternoon, in the sun of Concord Dawn where they’d set up a permanent home decades before. His Buire had been a part of building this home, and he couldn’t help but miss them.

The flowers under this tree were beautiful, the last time he’d had an afternoon off he’d come here with the ade and made flower crowns for them, and one for Tor too. His cyare.

And as he thought of his beloved, he appeared, coming across the open field toward him, fresh from his workout, with a blanket and a basket under his arm. Neither of them were wearing their armour, just simple tunics and trousers.

Lying against the tree in the sun was good, but the blanket was softer.

And Tor was a far better pillow.

He was so tired, he was grateful for the food his cyare had brought them, but more than anything he wanted a nap.

And his beloved knew it.

Jaster stood to greet Tor with a kiss to the cheek and a tight hug, and let Tor lay out the blanket and sit himself down, letting Jaster sink tight next to him, legs tucked to the side and head on Tors shoulder, followed by Tors arm wrapping around him.

“Long day, cyare?”

“You’re asking? I was out before you’d woken, and you’re asking if it was long?”

Tor chucked under him. Usually Tor was the first to wake, either training with his squad, alone, or teaching a group of ade nearing their verd’goten who wanted the extra help.

The sun was so warm, and the heat wasn’t sticky and humid but dry and comforting, and within minutes of their sitting down, his eyes were drooping.

Tor noticed, of course he did, and shifted himself against the tree, cupping the back of Jasters head and letting him get comfortable.

The steady ba-thump under his head coupled with the warm day was so comforting and comfortable.

“So, were the meetings interesting, any members of the council you need me to take care of?”

Jaster chucked softly.

He could take care of his own problems if the need arose, he’d already made it clear he wouldn’t be standing for any corruption once he was leader, but Tor had embraced the jokes already starting that as Jasters Rid’alor, Tor would be the one taking care of those things.

“You look utterly exhausted, Jas. I know you want to sleep but you should eat something.”

“Shh, I’m trying to listen to your heart.”

This time Tor chucked, but he did fall quiet, drawing his hand through Jasters hair and safe, under the warm sun with his beloved, Jaster was asleep in minutes.

And behind another tree Montross was watching furiously, wasn’t he Fluf?

Thanks for the ask. Some fluff to live up to your name.

Inbox is open. (-:

Pairing: High Schooler!Reader x Basketball Player!Bang Chan

Genre: Neutral // Romance

Warnings: Fem!Reader

Preamble: Change is extremely difficult, and moving to a new city with a new school was no exception. The classes are difficult, the people are loud, and the melodramatic behaviour seemed to constantly be at a ten. You felt suffocated - until you take a chance on a night out with a new friend.

You were conflicted, to say the least.

The idea of starting anew, in a strange place, with strange people you didn’t know, was, well, strange. Your hands were clasping the hem of your shirt, fiddling with the fabric in an attempt to calm your mind. You hated this feeling. It wasn’t something you generally chased after.

On the other hand, knowing that you were about to walk into a building in which no one knew you was almost relieving, in its own way. All of your awkward moments and incredible public mishaps were now ancient history. No one here could possibly know about that time in the second grade when you tried to pet the class turtle and somehow, someway was outpaced by it. No one would know about those times when you were so exhausted from the night before that you actually walked directly into a door.

Feeling a mix of glee and terror, you adjusted your grip on your bag’s handle and pulled open the front door. You were immediately greeted by a swarm of students, all moving simultaneously to their desired classrooms. You glanced around the foyer until you spotted the main office, briskly walking inside.

There were stark white walls on all four sides of the room, most of which were decorated with various trophies, class photos, and calendars. Six chairs were lined against two of the walls, providing seating for two rather angry students.

“Are you aware of how many times you’ve both been sent into my office this month? Nine. Nine times. I didn’t even think it was possible to piss off your teachers that much! Now, you’re both getting into fistfights before classes even start!” A middle aged man in an unbutton grey work suit fixed his tie with a huff. “If this happens one more time, you’re both getting suspended. Do I make myself clear?” He asked. The two boys sitting on the chairs adjacent to the man nodded their heads. “Get out of here.”

You cleared your throat after watching as the two boys sulked out of the office. The man’s face suddenly lit up.

“Hello, there! You must be Y/n. I’m Mr. Hanson. I trust you had a warm welcome?” He asked. You cocked your head in curiosity.

“What welcome?” You asked. “Did I miss someone?” The man peered past your shoulder through the window of the office door.

“Ah, your welcome committee is a little preoccupied.” He said. He found his way past you to open the door, waving a group of students over. “She’s over here, guys.”

You watched as four students strolled into the room, each with a very distinct aura about them. The first was a boy with red hair and serious features. He wore a pair of red jeans and a white tee, tucked in towards the front. He held out his hand to you, suddenly smiling, which changed everything about the way you had perceived him.

“I’m Felix. It’s nice to meet you.” He said. You returned the smile and shook his hand.

“Y/n.”

The second person to greet you was a girl with straight black hair, and equally dark eyes. Her clothes were viciously pink, and she sported a pair of heels with a myriad of jewelry. She immediately slapped a seemingly fake smile onto her face and waved.

“I’m Stacey.” She said, adjusting the way her bag rested against her hip.

“It’s nice to meet you.” You said. She exposed teeth, then turned to Felix, grabbing hold of his arm. First impressions said that they were dating.

The third person in line was a blond haired boy with a smile that screamed cheer. His yellow tee and blue jeans seemed to convert the same message.

“Hey! I’m Jisung. It’s very nice to meet you, Y/n.” He said, shaking your hand. You smiled at his enthusiasm. “This is Chan.” Jisung said, gesturing towards the fourth and final student.

Chan donned a pair of ripped blue jeans, a black hoodie, and a jean jacket to top it all off. His hair was dyed an almost silvery colour, and his curly bangs laid across his forehead in a stylish way. He gave you a polite smile, waving at you. You waved back, trying to avoid breaching the personal space of the five people around you. Suddenly the bell rang, signaling the last of the wandering students to hustle their way to class.

“Alright. Y/n, I’ve chosen these particular students in part because of your shared class schedules. If you stick to them, you shouldn’t get lost. I wish you luck!” Mr. Hanson said. You smiled and nodded.

“Yes, thank you.”

The five of you made your way to what seemed to be the math classroom. In every classroom you entered, the sea of students would follow you with their gaze until you sat, and even then, some curious eyes would remain glued to your figure. Jisung and Stacey seemed to always be on either side of you, with Felix on the other side of Stacey, and Chan on the other side of Jisung. The day was mostly uneventful until your last class.

You had carefully selected your elective - photography. It was simple enough - or at least that’s what you thought - but held your interest as well.

The photography class was rather small, and the only people shared the class with were Stacey and Felix. Throughout the day, she seemed to grow ever-annoyed at your mere presence. Felix waved you over to where they both sat, smiling.

“C’mon, Y/n!” He exclaimed. You smiled warmly at his invitation and obliged, sliding on his opposite side. Stacey let out a huff, rapping her fingers on her desk.

“Where are Chan and Jisung?” You asked, placing your bag on the desk in front of you. Felix began to take his camera out of the case, setting it up for whatever it was that they were about to do.

“They have basketball practice during the elective periods. Chan is the captain, and Jisung is his right hand, in a sense. They both work out plays and stuff together.” Felix paused and looked at you. “I honestly don’t know anything about basketball. I hope that made sense.” He began laughing bashfully. You laughed along with him, your eyes pinching with glee.

“Alright. I got it.” You said, glancing at Stacey. She seemed to be in a progressively worse mood as you and Felix spoke. It took you all day, but you thought you might have finally figured her out. She was jealous, which you thought was absolutely ridiculous.

A moment later, the photography teacher - who also happened to be your history teacher - walked to the front of the class.

“Alright, guys. I know I told you all about what’s going on this week, but Y/n wasn’t here, so I’ll recap.” Mr. Hanson said. “You all have one week to create a fifteen photo portfolio of the nature near and on our school premises. Each of you can have one partner.” He said. “You’ll be graded individually, not as a pair, so I suggest you both work on it.”

You peered around the classroom. It seemed as if everyone already had a partner. You stood to delve further into the lump of students, but heard your name.

“Y/n, I could partner with you.” Felix said from his seat. “It’s your first time, and I know it’s hard to work with someone you haven’t met yet.” You smiled at him thankfully.

“Uh-” Stacey immediately chimed in. “Felix, honey, we’re partners.” She said. “Plus, I have the good camera.” She grinned and pointed at the camera case that sat neatly on her desk.

“Yeah, but I think it would be nice if I helped Y/n out.” He explained. “She’s still new.” Stacey deadpanned before shaking her head.

“Yeah, but I doubt she knows anything about photography, and this is too important of a portfolio to mess up.” She explained. You looked to the ground.

“It’s alright, Felix. Thanks, but I can find someone else.” You said. Felix frowned, but nodded.

“Alright, but let me know if you need any help.” He added. You smiled and made your way over to the other students. Most of them had been given enough time to already have their partners, and were already discussing how they’d go about the project. After a few more moments of searching, you came back with no results. You let out a sigh, making your way to Mr. Hanson.

“Hey, Mr. Hanson?” You said. He turned and smiled at you.

“Hey, How’s it going? Did you get a partner yet?” He asked. You shook your head.

“No, but I think I’ll be alright working alone. I think I work best that way.” You explained. He contemplated the idea, and hummed in agreement.

“Alright, but I’ll be keeping an eye out to see if you’re struggling. Do your best.” He said.

The rest of the period was grueling as you relied solely on the paper instructions for the school’s camera. It wa nothing like you had used before. By the end of the hour, you were just about ready to throw the technology at a wall.

You shoved the last of your belongings into your bag as the final bell rang, letting out an exasperated sigh. Your body felt a little heavier than usual from such a stressful day.

As your hands flattened out on the front set of double doors, you heard footsteps coming from behind you.

“Y/n?” Chan said. You feigned happiness, not yet ready to deal with another awkward conversation.

“Hey...” You said. He cocked his head to the side as the corners of his lips tugged downward.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” He asked, jogging over. “Rough first day?” You let out a chuckle.

“Yeah, but it could’ve been worse.” You said. He grinned, looking down.

“What an optimist.” He teased. You giggled, pushing the door open. He raised his arm out to hold it for you, waiting as you slipped past the frame. He followed suit, then shoved a hand in one of his jacket pockets.

“How was your day?” You asked. He seemed to contemplate, then bobbed his head left and right.

“Not too bad. Practice was tough, but the day was otherwise good.” He said. You smiled.

“Good, good.” You said. He hopped forward.

“Do you have to be home?” He asked. You raised an eyebrow skeptically.

“Not particularly. Why?”

“I know what’ll cheer you up.” He waved his arm to get you to follow him as he approached a black car. You made your way over to him, hesitant.

“Where are we going?”

“The joy is in the surprise, milady.” He made a grand gesture with his arm as he said the name, which earned a chuckle from you.

“Alright, alright. Just not too far.” You said. “I need to be home by sundown.”

“That’s as long as I need.” He grinned. “Let’s go!”

You laid your bag on the floor of the passenger seat.

“Let’s go!”

Alrighty! It’s been a while since I’ve made anything new. I really hope that you all enjoy this first chapter. Any guesses on where he’s taking her? If anyone can get it, I’ll give them a shoutout. 💞 Best of luck!

As always, I appreciate your feedback! I hope you are happy and healthy. 😊

James & Ava

James: I'm so sorry James: I was supposed to be working Ava: Everyone's here, it'd be stupid to say I was surprised and yet Ava: it's fine though, right, because everyone is here James: If I did get caught up in regrets, this would be a good time James: because everyone may well be here but since you are, they may as well not be as far as every part of me is concerned Ava: You can't just say things like that Ava: and NOT expect me to blush Ava: at least it's hot out James: you know I don't expect anything James: least of all at this precise moment Ava: Sadly Ava: Aside from work, where have you been? Ava: No, the question is how, how have you been? James: other than the fact I can't help but notice you now or think about you since the 'then' of last seeing you in an entirely preferably context, I'm fine James: you look more tan, which means I don't need to ask how you are Ava: You are hard to miss Ava: but still undeniably gorgeous, which is really rather rude, actually Ava: I've not been kidnapped by anyone else Ava: lots of time to sunbathe and 'work', if that's what you're into James: if I blush it'll be a green screen effect of sorts, except very red, so don't try & make me, please James: you are incomparable as having the title of the only beautiful 🍅 James: which is, of course, what I'm into, along with what you just listed, as well as many things about you I easily could list Ava: As you asked SO nicely Ava: I too will be very, very good Ava: you are always unmatched with compliments and words too but beautiful 🍅 is up there as the top 😂 Ava: How easily are we talking? James: You must because this outfit has an unmistakable 😈 countenance to it & despite the fact that's less in the sense of roguishness I would like & more in the guise of a child's cartoon creation, it nevertheless still casts you as an 😇 James: thank you James: oh, the ease is almost indescribable itself, ironically Ava: I can't decide if it'd be cruel or a kindness to say you are not the only, nor indeed the most, cartoonishly dressed man here Ava: It's a shame not everything is that easy Ava: or you could regale me over a drink James: perhaps it exists to be both, or to allow you the chance of being cruel to be kind James: in the way that the best offer I can make is, that I order you a drink that we then consume at the same time James: safer but no kinder for being that Ava: Dichotomies are just where things get really interesting Ava: I can handle that James: in the world of rewrites there's one where we're here together & another where we're somewhere else entirely, where we would rather while away these warm hours James: those possibilities are interesting to me Ava: Those are more than interesting Ava: especially the way you tell them James: tell me where you wish you were Ava: Okay, though it feels dangerous to let my imagination wander, it won't want to come back Ava: not in such an uninspiring reality, and especially not if I let it go to you Ava: if we could be anywhere Ava: it probably sounds seriously unimaginative, given the open-ended possibility of the scenario, but my favourite place is my rooftop garden, off from my bedroom, it's so peaceful and hidden and mine Ava: I'd like to take you there James: It doesn't sound in the least un-anything & I can definitely work with that James: [casually but not at all casually just writes them an au life, all the while Chlo is probably like get off your phone] Ava: James Ava: that is Ava: very close to perfect James: I'll willingly accept constructive criticism until it's perfect for you Ava: I don't know how capable I am after that Ava: and it's only not perfect because it's not happening James: but we'll meet in the rooftop garden one day James: dream it if you have to Ava: I've done nothing but dream of you since Ava: but will I have to Ava: can't we carve out even five minutes of time for us to just James: I want to say yes Ava: I know James: Ava Ava: and I know that sentence ended with a but, it's okay James: I heard you say earlier that it's fine because everyone is here, maybe it could be Ava: My friends are easily distracted, definitely Ava: your wife, though?

Ava: just the two Ava: no Ava: three James: you better take mine as well then Ava: why? James: sibling rivalry or the fact you'll be trying to avoid him for a while, depending on from whose perspective Ava: Fair enough James: nothing feels very fair right now Ava: No Ava: also true James: would you like me to leave? Ava: No Ava: Do you want me to? James: of course not Ava: I'm not going to do anything to make this hard for you, James Ava: you know that, right? James: my life is already difficult, Ava, I should be saying that to you, making sure yours doesn't have to be Ava: You won't make my life difficult James: that isn't true Ava: How do you know? James: because Ava: Have your word not come back fully yet? James: because I've done this before Ava: not with me James: I'm involved, that's enough Ava: What do you want to say right now? James: I don't know Ava: Well, you can say it if you need to Ava: or you can not Ava: I'm fine James: how do you do it? Ava: how do I do what? James: be fine with this Ava: I like you Ava: I knew you were married Ava: what's the alternative for me James: I'm not going to point any out to you James: I don't want you to take them Ava: You know I don't want to either Ava: you haven't forgotten everything that just happened James: no, & that's why James: I like you but this is always going to be hard Ava: What's always? Ava: you haven't promised me anything but another five minutes James: Ava Ava: James Ava: You don't have to worry about me James: nevertheless, I do James: I will, because we don't get to decide how we care Ava: I know you're right Ava: and I know I care about you too and I feel the same James: I know I'd give you those five minutes now if I could James: so I want you to know it Ava: You've already answered the question you didn't pose Ava: I don't get to decide how I care any more than you do James: but you get to decide other things Ava: such as James: such as how far you're willing to take something James: or not James: if you think someone is deserving of how you care about them, or not Ava: that'd be a mutual decision, even if we got off at different points Ava: and yeah, though the jury is out on how much that helps you to stop if they aren't James: it has yet to be a mutual decision in any other aspect of my life Ava: Try it with me Ava: it's been mutual so far Ava: we want each other Ava: we have each other Ava: we both like and care about each other Ava: it's equal not the same James: okay, I'll try Ava: do you want to? James: yes Ava: Alright Ava: that's settled James: [finally does look at her like that's not risky as hell behaviour okay then] Ava: [smiling like that didn't kill you but it very clearly did like hi] James: [when you can't help smiling back cos she's such a cute babe and you have feelings] Ava: [just another filmic moment across this bar] James: [so casual so fine] Ava: [when you can't just run off again like you wanna] James: [nobody wants a drink this bad, the torture] Ava: [seriously] James: [we should say Teddy appears cos not gonna inflict Chloe on y'all ever and then he can grab him to talk before he sees her so Ava doesn't have to like the gentleman he is] Ava: [God bless you boy, soz Teddy it's not personal] James: [I would love to know why he thinks the vibe has changed between him and Ava recently/if he has even noticed lol] Ava: [at least he is a teen boy so he probably has no idea in general, like thinks she just doesn't fancy you back which is true but you know] James: [#confirmed when she throws her cousin at you at her party] Ava: [lil awks but we're fine] James: [they gonna fall in love it'll be cute] Ava: [it all works out in the end] James: [you're welcome for us not being as evil as we could be for once] Ava: [just on this one thing] James: [when you have to make awks smalltalk with your brother now who's probably wasted and you're not] Ava: [that'll be fun, just catching his eye well stealth like soz 😬] James: [the things you do for love] Ava: [gonna make one of your mates text Teddy to 'see where he is' so he'll leave James alone lol] James: thank you Ava: Bit rude he's got himself well more than three drinks 😏 James: however, potentially not the time for me to give him any kind of lecture, all things considered Ava: Perhaps not Ava: Sorry, I know it's weird James: it is, but you know I'm not feeling apologetic about it Ava: That would fall under a regret, so of course not James: I'm going to miss you though Ava: When? James: now Ava: Me too Ava: stand near me, in the next race? James: I may be good with words, but you're unbeatable in terms of ideas Ava: 😊 Ava: I try Ava: anyway, missing me is for when we can't be anywhere near each other, most of the time James: of course you do, hence Kings remains in continued mourning that they aren't your first choice James: arguably that could just be the standard atmosphere at The Vault these days, who can say? Ava: 😂 Ava: well I miss it too Ava: though probably not enough to bump it up the list James: I'll make sure to include missing things for the right reasons as one of the key messages in my book, don't worry Ava: Really, using you as a ploy when you won't even be there next year is well sneaky Ava: should've put that on my exit review James: at least they wouldn't ask me to do any further tours in the future if you had Ava: didn't you enjoy it James: the reason I did & the reason you miss The Vault's glorious atmosphere are one & the same Ava: if you put that on yours they'd definitely not ask you back James: I already have my wife's assurances that I won't be Ava: 😕 soz to next year's intake but I'm not that sorry really James: It's unlikely they'd be that unhappy, even if they knew what they were missing Ava: They would be if they really knew James: once the book comes out, I'll send them my condolences Ava: as long as you keep it out of my dedication, I'd be alright with that James: some flowers, wine or fruit, nothing too indelicate Ava: very thoughtful 😏 James: the budget can't stretch to bracelets for everyone, for which I am the least sorry I have ever been Ava: I'd like to be somewhat special Ava: and if anyone else tries it, it's definitely a scam, I'm sure of it James: I'll refuse to watch the Twilight saga with anyone else, darling Ava: Good Ava: Who else will explain all the nuances to you Ava: can't risk it James: I will not, some risks are beyond unnecessary Ava: never the novel, babe James: or the film adaptation, irrespective of any reservations the fans and critics alike may share Ava: 🤞 they don't think I'm nothing like your description of the girl James: if they do it's a slight upon my writing, heartbreaking perhaps but they are entitled to their opinion Ava: can't account for taste but lackthereof is always unfortunate James: it very much is, as this outfit I'm wearing attests James: the opposite is very much true for yours though Ava: I'm never looking to break your heart James: but? Ava: I might have tried a bit harder if I knew I was going to see you James: you look divine, radiant as ever Ava: You're so lovely James: as are you Ava: you Ava: when are you next free Ava: or how busy are you, probably a better question James: I'll get back to you, given that I'm here now when I was not supposed to be, clearly my schedule is more up in the air than I previously realised Ava: you think with it being such a calendar staple, you'd have had more notice on that James: that would involve talking to me, or wanting me have notice Ava: of course 🙄 Ava: if you were my husband Ava: or lived with me Ava: well, you understand Ava: I want to talk to you so bad James: if you were my wife you wouldn't have to drag me anywhere against my will James: because I want to spend time with you Ava: I won't make you commit bigamy to spend time with me, rest assured James: eloping would take longer than 5 minutes Ava: I know Ava: my family has a history James: yes, your brother's particular history still gets spoken about Ava: Unfortunately James: sorry Ava: His sorry to give, not yours Ava: and I'm not out here holding my breath over it James: of course, but I didn't intend to bring him up James: this situation is tense enough Ava: Yours is literally here Ava: like we said, weird, but not sorry James: okay Ava: Thank God, when you move away, one of the perks is you don't have to come to this kind of nonsense James: you're not having fun? James: I'm stunned Ava: animal abuse for gambling is what I live for James: I'm well aware of why I'm here, why are you? Ava: My friends are James: what are they? James: actual fans of animal abuse for gambling? Ava: I think they just like getting drunk Ava: and putting on nice outfits James: you can do that anywhere Ava: you don't get to wear a big hat Ava: I don't know James: perhaps they should all get married to each other, that's a basic requirement Ava: Give them a few years Ava: sure they will James: I'll be sure to check back in Ava: What's wrong? James: nothing James: I just don't like to think about you somewhere you wish you weren't James: with people who aren't the right people Ava: It's alright, we go places I like too Ava: and they aren't all bad James: happy to hear it Ava: even if they're all slightly too drunk right now Ava: so's most the crowd so Ava: fit right in James: I can get you a car, one that you won't have to wait for your friend to drive, whenever you like James: we aren't both stuck Ava: that's kind Ava: but then I would be at home Ava: no one's about so James: how tempting Ava: If only Ava: you are stuck though James: Technically, I can't leave until she tells me I can but what if I didn't? So far as she's concerned, I could still be James: fitting into that crowd of mostly too drunk people Ava: Is she that oblivious? James: she's had that much champagne Ava: Tempting is right James: if she realises, she'll call me & I'll come back Ava: Okay Ava: it isn't that far Ava: and it is hard being around you and not James: so take me to your rooftop garden James: I wanna go Ava: I don't take just anyone there, you know Ava: you're very lucky James: well I'm just happy to be on the list, however long it is James: & intend to show my appreciation accordingly Ava: it'd be ungrateful if you just stayed five minutes Ava: at least ten, okay? James: oh, I don't want that to be your lasting impression of me James: how long into Twilight does your favourite scene occur? Ava: I wouldn't wanna ruin your rep as a perfect gentleman, either Ava: although the best scene is at the end, I'll be pondering one that comes a little sooner Ava: not trying to take liberties here James: you don't want an ending yet, I understand James: me either Ava: exactly Ava: maybe we can get to the scene where Bella gets forced to go shopping with her friends and Edward comes to rescue her Ava: fitting James: another good idea Ava: we'll have to have a picnic instead of going out after though James: that sounds nice Ava: God knows what we have in Ava: could be interesting Ava: I'll feed it to you whilst you recline nonetheless James: thank you James: in that case, I'll barely taste it Ava: you will be very busy writing me poetry, yeah James: writing you as poetry, so nobody can make unfavourable comparisons when you make your acting debut, yes Ava: my drama teacher will be thrilled Ava: not that she'll be there, obviously James: I'd rather she wasn't Ava: 😂 Ava: Promise James: thank you James: she wasn't a member of my fan club Ava: What did you do? Ava: or not do James: I'm not sure I should tell you, it's not as if you need any help coming up with ideas Ava: Well now you have to tell me James: let's just say my time was not well spent, either back stage or on it, in her opinion James: at the time however, I had a great time James: as did my co-stars & most of the crew James: I'm surprised you haven't heard about it Ava: 😏 Ava: It's nothing personal, I'm sure your exploits are legendary Ava: I just don't go in for all that stuff Ava: who's who, who's dad is who, you know James: They were more fabled, as in, in need of a strong moral James: hence the cautionary tale I expected you to be well versed in James: but perhaps she's learned those are rarely effective Ava: After-school specials certainly aren't the height of theatre Ava: even if she's become more willing to branch into 21st century plays and productions Ava: I could ask around, if you like Ava: or you can tell me more in less vague terms when we're alone James: what would you like? James: to know who I was, to know who I am or both? Ava: If we only have time for the one today, I'll go with the latter Ava: but both would be nice Ava: if and when James: okay, I'll see what I can do Ava: I remember you, a bit James: oh Ava: You were friends Ava: for quite a while James: I suppose so James: hypothetically Ava: What do you mean? James: I mean, we weren't, really James: but as far as he was friends with any of us, or any of us were friends with each other, I fall into the category Ava: I suppose so James: should I ask what you remember about me? Ava: Nothing incriminating Ava: you were all the same, in that I was the kid sister who he definitely did not want around so James: I think I remember you ignoring that at least once Ava: Well, can't do what he says, obviously James: you're smarter than that Ava: even as a kid Ava: much to his annoyance 💔 James: he was easy to annoy, that I do recall Ava: Still is James: thank goodness he won't be there either then Ava: on many levels, yes, thank God James: the car has arrived though James: [deets so she doesn't get in the wrong one] Ava: 🙏 all the thanks Ava: coming James: I'm beyond happy to hear it Ava: [show up girl] James: [the 😍 are real af] Ava: [too real] James: [lowkey dragging her into this car but at least she isn't at the school gates in her uniform this time] Ava: [you know what would be evil-er than not letting them get there alone?] James: [tell me gal] Ava: [if one of her friends sees them leaving 'cos nosy hoes but they're too far away/she doesn't know who Ava is somehow so it's just like he was leaving with some bitch thought you should know, 'cos Chlo will be fuming to be so publically shamed] James: [yasss we have to] Ava: [I thought it'd be a good idea 'cos everyone knows her life a mess and her friends' clearly love it so they'd be 👀 him anyway] James: [like I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he fucked some of her friends when they were younger and he was a mess cos I feel like he didn't go to rehab and sort his shit until well after Jay was born] Ava: [we all know this group been messy, even if they're not as bad as her by now, like] James: [oh god she gonna be so raging I love it] James: [enjoy your car makeout while you can you two] James: [maybe she's a newer friend and that's why she doesn't know who Ava is] Ava: [that'd make sense, like either way, we don't need to drop that bombshell right now, but we can do the Chlo telling him to come back convo 'cos she's drunk so it'd be delightful] James: [yeah it'd make sense as well that if she's a newer friend she wouldn't know it's better not to get involved with their cheating and that whole mess, and yeah we simply must do that convo] Ava: [exactly, hence Chlo is probs crying on her rn for the scene of it all] James: [of course, nevermind the fact that you're probably fucking god knows who yourself] Ava: [honestly, what a fun time] James: [okay so he turns the car around and goes back leaving it up to her if she wants to get out and go back to her friends or go home still #awkward] Ava: [imma say she goes home 'cos Chlo probably spilled what's up before he can get back and clearly this friend is too involved and we don't need y'all being outed and them tryna fight you rn] James: [good call, what a downer though, poor Ava at least you can call Grace if you need to talk cos she knows] Ava: [no one needs that level of public shaming lmao] James: [except Chlo but not like this thank you] Ava: [hence even as wasted as she is, they'll be leaving too to have this argument a little more privately, joy of joys] James: [thank god the kids are already with her mum or wherever] Ava: [gonna be sleeping over tonight gals] James: [do you wanna pick this convo up later or like say they don't talk for a bit cos it's awkward lol] Ava: [up to you chicken, 'cos he'd probably have to start in considering how obviously shook/angered etc he would've been in the car so] James: [let;s say he leaves it til way later to the point she probably thinks he isn't gonna but I shall] James: she still doesn't know anything, you don't need to be concerned Ava: She must know something Ava: unless you made her believe her friend was lying, for some reason James: I should have said she doesn't know anything about you, who you are James: that's what I meant Ava: Okay Ava: that's for the best, no doubt Ava: are you okay? James: not really but I don't have anyone else to blame Ava: I'm sorry Ava: I assume there's nothing I can do? James: unfortunately not Ava: Yeah Ava: I shouldn't have said we could James: it isn't your fault James: I should've known better, I typically do, it's just that you aren't typical, at all James: I feel differently & I wanted things to be different so badly that I forgot they can't be Ava: How do you typically do it then? Ava: We could do that James: more carefully James: with less emotion Ava: I can do careful Ava: contrary to what today would suggest Ava: and before, probably James: like I said, it isn't your fault James: you're 17, why should you be careful, why would you want to? Ava: because I knew you were married Ava: and I want to see you James: I'll let you sleep, it's very late James: I just wanted to let you know that your identity is unknown Ava: If you need to say we can't then just say it Ava: because I don't care about either of those things James: whether I need to say it or not, I'm not sure I can & extremely sure I don't want to Ava: You can say anything to me Ava: just don't lie James: if I could see you now, right this second, I would, I haven't learned anything from this James: don't you see how dangerous that is? Ava: I see how dangerous it is Ava: if you want to stay with her Ava: why do you? James: there are two reasons & I have to go collect them both in a few hours Ava: Then I'll let you sleep James: nothing's that simple, Ava James: if only Ava: you don't want me to say anything in response to that Ava: or you wouldn't have brought them up James: you asked me why right after you asked me not to lie to you Ava: Yeah, I'm hardly meant to argue a point against it Ava: if that's how it is then that's how it is James: I don't have a choice, I've never had a choice, that's how it is Ava: Why? James: because I made mistakes that took them all away James: I'm a father now Ava: No, it's not that simple Ava: people separate, with kids as well James: it is that simple, if I want to keep seeing them, I have to be here Ava: You're their dad, that isn't as simple as that Ava: infidelity isn't a valid reason to not allow access James: if I were dealing with a rational person, perhaps Ava: You don't want to go through the courts Ava: so you're just going to stay with her and be unhappy forever James: I've got my reasons Ava: you said James: you don't understand & with respect I don't want you to have to James: my life is messy & complicated, we can't make it simple by wishing that it were Ava: Likewise, you don't have to tell me anything Ava: that's fine James: there's things that she & I have both done that mean I have to stay Ava: Why would she want you to Ava: if you cheat on her and clearly don't love her, and want to leave Ava: that doesn't make any sense James: appearances, finances, an inability to face the ordeal of starting her life over James: I don't know James: maybe she would like me to remain locked in misery with her forever Ava: Jesus James: I've not loved her for a single day, perhaps it's spite for never having done so James: or not about me at all Ava: does she love you? James: no Ava: that's horrible, James James: yes, it is Ava: how sustainable is it Ava: how long can you both live like this James: I try not to think about it, in case the answer for her is indefinitely James: but I'm sorry I dragged you into it, Ava Ava: You haven't Ava: don't apologize James: I didn't mean for this to happen Ava: I know you didn't Ava: but James: but I know, you're not sorry James: not yet anyway Ava: No, I am Ava: but I'm glad too James: I'd rather you were the latter but I can hardly expect it Ava: I am Ava: I can make you happy, even for five minutes Ava: I'll take it James: you do Ava: Good Ava: let me James: I'm trying to Ava: Just don't push me away Ava: if we have to be careful and not see each other for time because of the things in your life you can't control, that's fine Ava: just don't be the one to do it when you don't need to, okay James: it's really difficult not to when so often it feels like doing so would be better for you than anything I can actually offer & every instinct tells me that if I don't hurt you, she will Ava: Don't bother trying to tell me what would be better for me Ava: I want what you can offer, I don't care James: Ava Ava: You can think I'm stupid and 17 if you want but it won't change how I feel James: you're not stupid, that isn't what I think Ava: I care about you, James Ava: more than I care about the possibility of being hurt James: I care about you, more than I was ready for, but I'm trying James: I meant it, I do want to try & I don't want to hurt you Ava: I meant it when I said sorry Ava: I'm not trying to be more stress in your life Ava: just good Ava: but I know it's a lot, not that I planned it any more than you did James: I can handle stress, it's having something good which I'm not used to anymore Ava: Baby Ava: how can I make you feel better, like right in this moment James: if we can't see each other then I'd like to at least be able to hear your voice Ava: Okay, hold on Ava: let me get set up outside James: get a blanket, it was really warm earlier, you'll need it Ava: I've got a big sofa out here, I'll be cosy James: I don't mind if you fall asleep Ava: I don't want to, I want to talk to you 'til YOU fall asleep James: we can fall asleep together, the way we would if any of this was normal Ava: I want that Ava: too good of an idea, meant to be my thing James: it's about time I had one, don't you think? Ava: I'll allow it Ava: as I like it that much James: thank you Ava: Oh, James James: yes? Ava: just wanted to say it Ava: I'm ready now James: okay Ava: how quiet do I need to be? James: you don't Ava: noted Ava: [the call] James: [oh sweet babies, never gonna let Chlo ruin it, not soz] Ava: [deal with it, your reign of terror coming to an end hun] James: [the idea of them falling asleep together on the phone has made me die because it's so soft, goodbye cruel world] Ava: [not to make it weird or anything guys but Buster and Rio used to do that all the time so love that for you too] James: [literally had that thought] Ava: [when you're lowkey forced ldr by circumstances] James: [mhmm how annoying that'd be, like you're living so close to each other but you can't just see each other whenever you want] Ava: [literally the most frustrating] James: [at least if you're miles away or whatever you know you can't] Ava: [tea, 'cos like you could in many ways but you also can't] James: [^^^ that] Ava: [oh the willpower you'll need] James: [hence they don't last long before outting themselves because it's too hard] Ava: [^^yup and fuck you Chlo James: [you've stolen enough of his life] Ava: [time to do that convo moment though]

i'd love to hear all the headcanons about Godzilla and King Caesar!

These headcanons are based on my Drug AU and were made by myself and @amalasdraws​! Amalas also illustrated the cats so beautifully! Thank you ♥♥

Godzilla is on the left and King Caesar is on the right! They are brothers from the same litter. Godzilla is the runt and is a bit smaller than Caesar. 

Headcanons below the cut! 

The beginning:

Both cats were brought to an animal shelter when they were only two weeks old. Their entire litter of four cats (two males, two females) were found abandoned by their mother and were then raised by the shelter staff in the late fall. As they’re so small and kittens, they aren’t exposed to many other cats other than each other until they’re ready to be adopted. 

The two female cats and King Caesar are both adopted shortly before Christmas, leaving Godzilla the only one who isn’t adopted. He isn’t as friendly as the other three, a bit more wary of people and angry, not to mention a black cat so it’s harder getting him adopted out so he stays in the shelter.

Hajime comes into the shelter after spending a lonely Christmas by himself, feeling like he needs some company and thinking that having someone to take care of would be good for him. He comes in a few days before New Year’s Eve, not wanting to spend that holiday alone too.

Before coming in, Hajime did some research, wanting to prepare and be ready for a cat. He comes into the shelter hoping to adopt two cats (preferably siblings) so that one isn’t alone when he has to be at work.

As soon as he walks in, he’s overwhelmed with so many cats to meet! There’s lots of friendly cats, but he’s immediately taken by this little black ball of fluff that’s hiding in the back of his enclosure, all spiky and a little bit shy. Hajime asks about him and unfortunately all of his siblings have been adopted out by this point, and Godzilla doesn’t get along well with the other cats at the shelter. Hajime voices what a bummer that is but he the more he sees Godzilla the more he falls in love with him until ultimately he ends up taking him home. 

Godzilla is about twelve weeks at this point but is still very small. Tiny, nervous and a bit shy, Godzilla’s personality shows pretty early as he’s a little bit grumpy until Hajime puts down his carrier and leaves him be.

Hajime doesn’t push Godzilla, who doesn’t get out of his carrier right away. He leaves the room and starts to just go about his business, making some food, just keeping an eye on Godzilla as he does, giving him space to let him explore his new place in peace.

Slowly, Godzilla comes out to explore, but he is still distant and careful around Hajime. He slowly walks around and smells things, explores a bit, jumps up on the furniture. Hajime left out some blankets, toys and food, things for Godzilla to use. Hajime really just leaves him be and lets him adjust. Before going to bed Hajime sees Godzilla all curled up asleep on some blankets, tired from his first day and lots of big changes.

The second day Godzilla isn’t as shaken anymore and is less nervous. He is more curious, running around Hajime’s flat, up to his feet and sniffing him. He explores some more and Hajime tries playing with him a little bit, throwing some toys for him to chase. Godzilla won’t play fetch, but he’ll chase the toy Hajime throws, grab it and run off to hide with it. When Hajime throws another one, he’ll leave the first so that Hajime can steal it and the game continues. No cuddles or anything yet… but Godzilla’s starting to get more playful and comfortable around Hajime.

In the afternoon when he’s all tired from playing, Godzilla hops up on the couch and lies down next to Hajime. Not touching him, but close. He naps for a little bit while Hajime watches some television, and gets up about an hour later to jump down and have some food. This time though when he comes back, he jumps up and walks closer to Hajime, sniffing him curiously and sitting down right next to him. Hajime reaches out very carefully when Godzilla starts to sniff him, offering him a hand. After smelling it Godzilla rubs his head against Hajime’s hand and starts to pet himself using Hajime’s hand. Hajime’s ecstatic at this point but lets Godzilla set the pace; it’s the first time Godzilla lets him pet him but Godzilla still has all the control. After a bit of time petting him Godzilla curls up right close against Hajime’s thigh and starts to purr. Hajime watches him, grinning, above to move his hand away to let him sleep until Godzilla looks up at him and meows like don’t do that…hand stays here.

That’s about the cutest thing Hajime’s ever seen in his entire life so of course he listens, putting his hand back and petting Godzilla nice and gently. Godzilla keeps purring until he falls asleep, cuddled nice and close.

Later that night when Hajime heads to bed Godzilla follows him, investigating his bedroom. He sniffs around a bit, eventually jumping up and curling up to sleep on the edge of Hajime’s bed.

He is just so smol! So cute! So fluffy! Hajime is so in love with this little kitty already! He looks so cute all curled up, Hajime obviously takes a picture for his steadily-growing folder of kitty pics on his cell phone.

Just knowing that there is someone… A little cat…Someone who is living and breathing… purring, with him, is so comforting, it really helps him sleep better.

Over the next few days, Godzilla really starts to warm up more to Hajime! They get along really well, playing and cuddling, living in each other’s space very comfortably. Hajime wakes up to kitty paws on his arm when he’s hungry and a kitty jumping on his bed for cuddles on cold mornings. Godzilla is energetic, playful and a very curious kitty!

Hajime learns that Godzilla is very, very cuddly. Once Godzilla is comfortable and no longer hostile, his favourite thing is cuddling. He will climb up and cuddle right on his chest, on his lap, really just anywhere that he can. He loves napping with Hajime on quiet afternoons when he’s off work.

King Caesar’s arrival:

Just under three weeks after he adopts Godzilla, Hajime gets a phone call from the shelter. As it turns out, although Godzilla’s brother was adopted out, he was brought back because it wasn’t a good fit. The shelter remembered Hajime had wanted to adopt two cats initially so they give him a call to see if he’s still interested. He is absolutely still interested! He is still wanting someone to keep Godzilla company while he’s at work and adopting this little cat just seems meant to be. So he heads over to the shelter that evening to pick up Caesar! It’s been a few weeks since they’ve seen each other so the shelter staff do warn Hajime that it could be a bit difficult before they get readjusted to one another.

Caesar is friendlier than Godzilla was initially, but still a bit shy and nervous. It’s been a lot of change for this poor little guy - the shelter, then a home, the shelter again and now Hajime.

Hajime brings King Caesar home and Godzilla sniffs the carrier really confused and curiously. He puts it down and opens it up, stepping back and giving a little bit of space for the brother’s reunion.

There’s a few quiet moments when Caesar comes out and Godzilla is a little way’s away.. A bit wary… but then both cats jump at each other like AH I KNOW YOU! 

The cats roll around and play together so happily! Hajime lets them play and when they’re tired, Godzilla jumps up on the couch to cuddle up in Hajime’s lap. Caesar is less afraid following Godzilla’s lead and he jumps up too, curling up right next to Hajime’s thigh and happily accepting pets.

It doesn’t take very long before Caesar gets how things work here and just jumps up to cuddle on Hajime with Godzilla, demanding snuggles and pets.

Miscellaneous headcanons:

When Tooru comes over for the first time and meets Godzilla, he laughs a little at Hajime, but it’s all good. It’s cute, and he sees just how good that having this cat will be for Hajime, how good it will be for his recovery and sobriety. Then there are suddenly two cats.. and Tooru can’t help but shake his head a little. But it’s so cute and the cats are so cute!

Godzilla is very in love with Hajime! (How could he not be, really?) Hajime is definitely his favourite person and it is extremely obvious. He’s very protective of him, a little jealous about sharing his affections and is always following him around the flat. It takes him a few days to warm up to Tooru but he does like him and enjoys cuddling him too, but Hajime is definitely his clear favourite.

King Caesar loves Hajime too, of course, but he also really really loves Tooru and goes running whenever Hajime comes over to visit. Tooru loves playing with the more energetic cat, tiring him out before he jumps in for cuddles.

The cats are very close and Hajime frequently comes home to find them curled up cuddling together in the sun after a long afternoon of playing.

As they grow, both cats remain more on the lean and slender side. Godzilla never gets as big as King Caesar does, but his big personality more than makes up for that. 

Later on, when Hajime and Tooru are together again, the cats love pushing their way in for cuddles when they’re curled up in bed together. Big cuddle piles are pretty common there.

The cats are less pleased when the boys shut the bedroom door and keep them out, but Hajime and Tooru make up for it by scooping them up and offering cuddles in the morning while they have their coffee.

Sorry this got pretty long, and this gave me about a dozen ideas for little writing drabbles I’d love to do… Let me know what you thought, if you have any questions or want to hear more random headcanons from my AUs! Thank you so much for asking, this was so fun ♥ and thank you again Amalas, you're the best!!

Can you pls answer A, J, L, Q, T & U from the Fanfic Ask Meme, i'd love to hear more about your writing process, especially for Tongues of Fire! I love that fic, your awesome!

Fanfic Ask Meme

Hey, thanks for asking (and thanks for the compliment!) This’ll be fun, and I can’t promise it’ll be short answers, so don’t say you weren’t warned X)

A: How did you come up with the title?

For Tongues of Fire, originally it had a different title right up until an hour or so before I posted chapter 1, I think! It was originally named more for Peter and Sylar, but I changed it after writing a dream sequence Angela has near the start of the story, where she sees the world end when “the sun itself sent out tongues of fire to lick the surface of the Earth clean”. And since the plot revolves around everyone trying to prevent this future in their own ways, I decided to name the story after the event that makes the entire story happen ^.^

J: Write or describe an alternative ending to [insert fic].

I can’t answer this for ToF I’m afraid, as I can’t spoil the ending that’s to come X) I can answer for Gabriel Gray is Dead though, which originally was going to have a much more bittersweet ending. During the planning stage and even when I started to write the story, Peter and Gabriel/Sylar weren’t going to reunite at the end. The story was going to finish with them both having learned from each other and, although heartbroken, continuing on their own paths with the love the other taught them. But very quickly I was like “nope. Can’t do it. Happy ending for all!” and I’ve never regretted it since XD

L: What's the weirdest AU you've ever come up with?

I think either Sylar Goes, where Sylar comes up against notorious villains from other stories and shows them exactly who’s boss, or Homecoming Heroes, which is a ridiculous but fun concept that could only ever work through the medium of writing and with a rather not-so-bright protagonist (sorry Peter XD). Won’t spoil the twist here, but if you check it out you’ll see what I mean. They’re both silly and were a lot of fun to write!

Q: Do you have any discarded scenes/storylines/projects?

I don’t have too many discarded scenes from Tongues of Fire, luckily I managed to work most of them into the story. The biggest one, though, that I’m really sad didn’t fit, was Peter going to find Mohinder in India for help. He was going to ask if Molly could locate Claire (as Peter needed Claire to help him reason with Noah), but Mohinder wasn’t having any of it after seeing and believing the stories of “vigilantes” on the news. Of course he’d recognise Peter on TV, and of course he’d recognise Sylar with him. And this didn’t sit too well with Mohinder after his past interactions with Sylar. Eventually he’d grudgingly agree to ask Molly, and when Peter and Mohinder left the lecture hall (where the scene would take place) then Mohinder and Sylar would have a tense but silent stare-down exchange in the corridor before Sylar gives him a slightly mocking salute XP

I debated for ages before cutting this scene, because I wanted to include Mohinder in the story, and because I thought the dynamic of a united Peter and Sylar vs Mohinder was a really interesting one. In the end, though, it was too big of a scene that wasn’t necessary and dragged down the pacing too much. I’m not sorry I cut it, but I am sorry we never got to see how Mohinder is doing post-Heroes/pre-Reborn.

T: Any fandom tropes you can't stand?

I think it’s a shame that so many fics (particularly post-series) seem to skip all the drama and tension that would naturally come from the events of the show (mainly the finale) to fast forward to when everyone is all friends and happy again. It’s nice to read some fluffy fics like this, but in the world of Heroes, and especially when Peter and Sylar are united and nobody would likely approve or understand why, and they’ve just spent years in a mental enclosure before being thrust back into the real world with no time to adjust: I’ve always wanted to read more about the potential for drama and plot stemming from this when there are already so many more domestic stories out there.

This is just a small irk though. I’m not saying I can’t stand these fics, they are still well written and beautiful. Even years in I’m still very grateful for the Heroes fandom, and that there might be small things that aren’t my cup of tea, but nothing that properly annoys me ^.^ I don’t think all fandoms can say the same, sadly.

U: A pairing you might like to write for, but haven't tried yet

Maybe Sylar/Elle would make a fun oneshot or two. Aside from them, if I was to write fics for another fandom, I think it would be cool to write Shepard/Kaidan from Mass Effect X)

Wow that was long! Thanks again for asking, I hope you liked reading my answers ^.^
