Sunset

Word Count: 2,649

Characters: Bucky x Reader

Warnings: Angst, Fluff, Language, feelings of abandonment and hopelessness (but it gets better!!)

SSB Square Filled: “The man on the bridge, who Was he?” (bolded and italicized below)

A/N: This was written for my beautiful Name Twin - @amanda-teaches Writer + Reader Challenge (prompt bolded below) and also @captain-rogers-beard Flex Your Writing Muscles Challenge (photo prompt in the title graphic is from 6/4). It also fulfills a square on my @star-spangled-bingo card. This began as something rather therapeutic for me, and it became a whole lot fuffier than I expected. So...yay?

Beta’d by: @shy-violet-soul who always encourages me and showers me with love, and @princessmisery666 who has helped me with this fic in more ways than I can even describe. Everytime I hit a wall, she was there with help, support, love and ideas and I am so thankful for her.

It felt wrong.

The sunset was spectacular - fiery hues of crimson and amber evening kissing the brilliant blue of the fading day; ashen shades of violet and lavender the only evidence of their embrace. The last remnants of sunlight danced across the rippling surface of the water, painting the gentle waves in warmth as they lapped against the shoreline.

Salt hung heavy in the air as it whipped loose strands of hair around your face. The taste lingered on your tongue like a lovers’ kiss as you tried in vain to brush the wayward locks from your eyes.

So wrong.

Soft laughter punctuated every dull crash of the tide upon the sand. You watched the dwindling groups of people hold onto what little remained of their peaceful beach day. Though as the warmth of the day vanished, so did the people.

Being here was supposed to be a homecoming; a celebration of the person you were and the life you’d lived. It should have been a gasp of oxygen after surfacing from a deep dive; sustaining, energizing and life-giving.

Instead, the tranquility of the scene before you only seemed to underscore the pain boiling deep behind your ribs. Even as the sky turned to ink and the stars blinked down at their reflection in the water, the anguish seared your lungs and stole your breath.

It was unsettlingly unexpected.

A fresh wave of tears prickled the corners of your eyes and you clenched them shut in an attempt to keep them at bay. It might have worked, if you hadn't been immediately met with the vision of him behind your eyelids.

It wasn't his fault. Not really. But that didn't mean it didn't hurt like hell. Seeing him today - even from a distance - was like pouring salt on a wound. The elation on his face as he'd grinned up at the little girl perched on his shoulders felt like a dagger straight to the chest.

The soft sound of bare feet on sand caught your attention. You sniffed, shifting to pull your knees up to your chest as the footsteps stopped beside you.

"You want some company?"

The gruff voice was soft and despite wanting to hate your new companion for lacing his words with such obvious pity, you couldn't. Your pain had been dealt by hands less sure than his, so you shrugged instead. There was something warm and comforting in his presence and your soul cried out for more. The feeling multiplied exponentially as he dropped to the ground beside you, his knee grazing your thigh as he folded his legs underneath him.

"'S'pretty here."

You nodded once, weakly. Even a broken heart couldn't make you think otherwise. Once upon a time this spot had been your own, personal oasis. Well, as much of one as a public beach could provide. But you didn't need much. Life had been simple, then. Now? Now, 'simple' sounded like a fairytale. Another on a long list of things you dreamt about, but didn't dare hope for.

“The man on the bridge,” Bucky began, his voice gentle. “Who was he?”

Brass tacks. It was one of the things you admired most about him; his ability to cut straight to the heart of the matter without poetry or pretense. It wasn’t a question borne out of irritation or obligation; instead patience and comfort reigned in his words. He could read body language and facial expressions better than 99% of the planet, but you knew even the other 1% could have plainly seen the pain in the heart so cruelly branded onto your sleeve.

“This was,” you cleared your throat as best you could with your heart taking up space there. “I used to live here. I always wanted to live by the ocean, so when I lost my job due to budget cuts, I decided ‘what the hell?’. Packed up, cashed out my savings and started driving. As soon as I hit the city limits, it felt like home. Had a hell of a time finding a job, but I did eventually. I met him there.”

You sniffed, stretching out your legs and leaning back with your palms in the sand behind you. Without having to look you knew he was watching you; waiting until you were ready to continue.

“I never believed in love at first sight; still don’t, because that’s not what it was. He was sweet, funny,” you smiled despite yourself. “Kind to a fault. The type of kindness that infuriates you because it makes you realize how selfish you actually are. But he loved me. I don’t know why, but he did. He loved me fiercely; even when I couldn’t return it and sure as hell didn’t deserve it.”

Bucky’s breaths matched the roll of the tide; calm and gentle and unwavering. You felt him shift, his shoulder grazing yours as he matched your position.

“What happened?”

The air between you vibrated with the low timbre of his words. Not that you noticed - not really. Remembering was always the worst part; remembering just how easily you’d been forgotten.

“The blip.” Your voice was so faint it barely registered in your own ears, but you knew he heard it. You knew from the way he inhaled deeply as he shifted; from the feel of vibranium fingers sliding gracefully across your own.

“I don’t blame him. He couldn’t know we’d all come back. I couldn’t expect him to live out the rest of his days mourning my ashes.”

The tightening in your throat and the tingling at the corners of your eyes cut off any other words you might have said. If the roles had been reversed, you wouldn’t have known what to say to yourself. But true to form, Bucky did. Brass tacks and all.

“Still hurts.” Not a question, because he knew. His words were meant every bit for himself as they were for you.

A humorless chuckle broke from your lungs and you nodded.

“It still fuckin’ hurts,” you agreed.

"So that's why you wanted to come here." Not a question, but an acknowledgement.

Biting your lip, you narrowed your gaze at the calm waves. "I guess I just wanted closure. I missed this place. Missed the memories I made here. I knew seeing him was a possibility, but I'd hoped.." you trailed off.

Bucky hummed in understanding of words you couldn't find.

You looked at him then, the sliver of moonlight above casting him in a sort of macabre splendor. Chestnut waves rendered a dozen shades of grey and gaze focused on the heavens. Trying to ease some of your burden while still obviously saddled with plenty of his own, he looked peaceful; tranquil in a way that felt contagious.

You sucked in a breath, hoping to provide him the same respite he offered you, willingly or otherwise.

“Coming back from that place - that state of nothingness - was jarring enough. But then having to face the five years worth of reality you left behind? It’s a wonder any of us are still alive today to mourn it.” Shifting again, you crossed your legs and turned to face him, his hand enveloped in both of yours. “But we are. You, me, Sam...all of us. Finding the love of my life had become a husband and father without me; it was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. But I did - face it, I mean. And in some fucked up way, it led me to you.”

Bucky tilted his head toward you, his gaze narrowed and his eyebrow raised.

“You’ve been watching too many Lifetime movies, sweetheart,” he deadpanned, though his eyes sparkled with affection.

You shrugged. “S’true.”

Even if you’d had a second to process the mischief in his expression, you still would have been startled by the quick tug of your hands as Bucky pulled you into him. You squeaked, landing with a muted thud beside him. He caught your hands just as you tried to flick sand at him, and held you close instead.

“You’re getting sappy, ya know that?” He sighed, pressing a kiss to the crown of your head.

You rose enough to see his face, blinking sweetly down at him.

"I’m sorry, what were you saying?” You purred, in feigned innocence. “I keep getting lost in your eyes.”

Bucky grumbled, his grip on you tightening as he lifted you both off the ground. “You’ve done it now.”

You giggled as you twisted away from the ticklish prodding of his fingers, though it was no use.

“Put me down, you neanderthal.” You shouted in mock protest, trying and failing to wriggle free.

“Oh you don’t have to worry about that, doll,” Bucky crooned seconds before tossing you - rather ungracefully - into the shallow water.

Scrambling to your feet, you couldn't help the giggle that escaped your lips. You kicked at the water, aiming for Bucky's face, but he anticipated it. Of course he did. He dodged deftly out of the way before grabbing your waist and pulling you both into the waves.

Coughing and sputtering, you shoved half-heartedly at his shoulder as a genuine smile bloomed on your lips. Neither of you seemed bothered by the water that lapped over your still entangled bodies.

"Thank you, Bucky."

"For what?" He scoffed, an incredulous but warm look moulding his features.

"For this," you waved a hand in the air. "You didn't even ask why I wanted to be here, you just offered to come with me. Never asked for details or tried to pry. You could be off saving the world...again." Bucky rolled his eyes. "But you're here saving me, instead."

Bucky's eyes dipped to your lips as the air began to crackle with unspent energy.

"You say that like it's two different things, doll."

The heat you felt under his careful gaze only intensified as the weight of his words settled on you.

Bucky stood before you could respond, holding his hand out to help you to your feet. He didn't let go as you strolled away from the water, instead he laced vibranium fingers with your flesh ones. Just as you reached the boardwalk that would take you back to the hotel you’d rented, Bucky glanced sideways at you before redirecting his steps. Smiling, you allowed him to lead you further down the beach, unwilling to let go of the bubble of peace you’d found just yet.

“Ya know,” Bucky murmured, his thumb stroking your knuckles gently. “It took a long time for me to reconcile my past with my expectation of the future.” He paused, noticing your questioning look before continuing. “What I mean is, my past is so…” Bucky shook his head and stopped walking.

You wrapped your free hand around his bicep reassuringly, encouraging him to continue but you waited patiently until he was ready to go on.

Bucky cleared his throat. “For a long time, I believed my past dictated my future. It’s full of so much pain and regret and things I can never undo. I always figured my future would be more of the same; a kind of comeuppance for everything I’d done.”

“Bucky…”

His lips curled into a half smile as he squeezed your hand gently. “I know. It’s taken a lot of therapy and literal reprogramming, but I know. It wasn’t me. Not really. Even accepting that though, I still always wondered how it would frame my life going forward.”

“Your past is just that, Bucky. It’s in the past,” you cocked your head to one side. “Your future is what you make of it.”

Bucky’s smile grew and he reached out to brush the damp hair from your face. “Yours is too, ya know.”

There he was, cutting straight to the heart of the matter, with as few words as possible. Again.

As your steps resumed, you kept your grip on his arm, snuggling in close as the temperature dipped slightly without the sun to warm the air.

“When I first met you, I had no idea what to make of you,” Bucky chuckled. “Honestly, you were a little intimidating.”

You scoffed. “You were intimidated by me?”

“Well, yeah,” Bucky sighed. “I was so irritated that Sam signed me up to be part of that support group - without telling me, mind you - but then you were there. You were funny, gorgeous and kind. You were so quiet, but there was this fire behind your eyes, and I wanted to know why you kept it locked up.”

The memory of that first meeting made your stomach twist. The plan had been to bide your time in silence so you could at least tell your therapist you’d gone. You’d wanted to be anywhere but there, until he walked in. The whole room had recognized him - if the quiet gasps and whispers were anything to go by - and it had been painfully obvious how uncomfortable that had made him.

Bucky laughed. “I’ll never forget the way you plopped down in the seat beside me, threw a bottle of water at me and glared at Frank and Donna until they stopped staring.”

“They were being rude.” You shrugged.

“They’re nice.” Bucky countered.

You shrugged again. “They are, but that night they were being rude. Nothing screams ‘Welcome to our blip support group’ like oogling the new guy.”

“Alright, well my point is,” Bucky stopped again, this time turning to face you, his hands gripping your shoulders gently. “I knew from the moment you shot icy death glares at them, that whatever my future held, I wanted you to be a part of it.”

Blinking, you opened and closed your mouth a few times before frowning.

“Remind me again who’s been watching too many Lifetime movies, Buck?”

“I’m serious,” Bucky chuckled lightly. “But, I get it. The wounds are still fresh, and I don’t expect anything, but I just want you to know that I’m here. And I’ll continue to be - in whatever way you’ll let me - until you send me away. This place?” Bucky waved a hand. “This is your past. But just remember that it doesn’t get to decide your future. You do.”

You bit your lip, allowing his words to envelop you with peace and warmth and - for the first time in a long time - hope.

“I think,” you paused, furrowing your brow, “Sometimes our wounds stay fresh because we keep picking at them. I think I’m ready to leave the past where it belongs.”

Bucky hummed, thumbs rubbing circles against the balls of your shoulder.

“And for the record, Barnes? I don’t plan on sending you away any time soon. So it looks like you’re stuck with me.”

Throwing his head back, Bucky barked a laugh before sliding his arm around your shoulders and pulling you close. You felt him press his lips to the top of your head as you snaked your arm around his waist, relishing his warmth.

“Well, lucky for both of us, doll. There’s no place I’d rather be.”

As you continued walking down the beach you’d once considered home, wrapped in the arms of the man who wanted to be your future, it struck you. The beauty of the setting sun had felt wrong because you’d been looking at it through the warped lens of your pain. The resplendence of the day drawing to a close wasn’t a mockery of the life you’d lost, it was a crimson and amber colored reminder that every day draws to a close and there will always be beauty to be found in the ending.

But the hope of the morning - when the sun will begin it’s reign once again, overpowering the darkness with it’s warmth and light - is where the true splendor is found.

You glanced up at Bucky - the man offering you the same promise of the rising sun, and for the first time in a long time everything felt right.

Junior-Woodchuck74: hang on, i’m coming over.

TheWebbedWonder: me too! woohoo, more demons to fight!!

lenaonme: oooh i’m coming over!!

Indy_Sabrewing: maybe not…

lenaonme: oh come on

lenaonme: we face way worse all the time!!

purpleisforthegays: oh that’s true…

Violet-Sabrewing: I’ve already packed by nunchucks.

purpleisforthegays: oh you girls are going to give me a heart attack one day.

Indy_Sabrewing: don’t worry honey, I’ve already doubled our vacation fund budget. I just had to take some away from the Junior Woodchucks donations.

Junior-Woodchuck74: aw man

lenaonme: 😔👊

Violet-Sabrewing: It do be like that.

green-sharpie: [screenshot-my-longest-yeah-boi-ever.png]

Indy_Sabrewing: Lena, you’re corrupting her.

lenaonme: as i should.

Tea Time: we all do need a vacation one of these days.

ICanDeweyIt: ooooooh

Junior-Woodchuck74: Dewey! More fighting, less texting!

ICanDeweyIt: I can multitask!

Junior-Woodchuck74: no you can’t!

Junior-Woodchuck74: studies have shown that multitasking is, on a nanosecond level, virtually impossible

ICanDeweyIt: well, impossible is just another kind of possible!

Junior-Woodchuck74: no it’s not.

ihaveahead!!!: why are you guys texting each other in the main group chat when you live in the same house?

ICanDeweyIt: because we can.

Junior-Woodchuck74: because he’s ignoring me and I can’t hear much over these demons

Lucky-Gander: checks out.

TheCrashiestCrash: we’re all good here!

Scrooge-McDuck: I think that’s the last of them.

mutant-krill!!!!: can you possibly save any specimens for me to study when I arrive in Duckburg?

green-sharpie: webby has ten.

Junior-Woodchuck74: i think Mom has a couple too.

Adventure-Pilot: sure do! and I’d be happy to share!

mutant-krill!!!!: great, thanks!

Blathering-Blatherskite: wait, are you coming to Duckburg?

dr. mad scientist: oh blathering blatherskite not again

Lil’ Bulb: be nice.

mutant-krill!!!!: based on the star and naval patterns I’ve been tracking, Mitzy, Gladstone, and I should be arriving in Duckburg in a couple days!

Junior-Woodchuck74: why didn’t you tell us in advance? We have to prepare!

mutant-krill!!!!: sorry little donald! But this is in advance!

Junior-Woodchuck74: okay fair

ghostbutler: @Tea Time

Tea Time: What

ghostbutler: the house is disgraceful

Tea Time: You bail every time a fight breaks out!

ghostbutler: one of the perks of the afterlife

Tea Time: ugh, you are insufferable.

Scrooge-McDuck: Duckworth was there! He and I fought together!

ICanDeweyIt: can confirm; i stuck my hand through him again!!!

ghostbutler: every time you do that i want to die and i’m already dead.

Tea Time: You saw me fighting twenty demons and bailed immediately.

ghostbutler: it’s a compliment! I figured you could take care of yourself!

ghostbutler: was I wrong?

Tea Time: no.

ghostbutler: perfect! And you still need to clean the house.

wreathedingold: I sense petty drama that somehow I did not cause.

wreathedingold: the world is unbalanced.

Scrooge-McDuck: oh don’t worry, you’ve caused plenty more than your share of petty drama

wreathedingold: oh Scroogey, you flatterer!

dr. mad scientist: i will never understand their romance.

M.A.M.A.: You and me both, and I’ve only been here for a couple of hours!

Blathering-Blatherskite: hey, you two finally agreed on something!

dr. mad scientist: you take that back!

Junior-Woodchuck74: just going to point out that we literally finished fighting five minutes ago and there’s already another fight

green-sharpie: what did you expect from this family?

Junior-Woodchuck74: okay fair

TheWebbedWonder: I’d like to think we’re pretty good

TheWebbedWonder: especially compared to like the Beagle Boys and Mark Beaks and his mom

dr. mad scientist: HA that’s what he deserves

dr. mad scientist: mark beaks? how about no

ihaveahead!!!: we do not stan

dr. mad scientist: thank you

dr. mad scientist: me seeing mark beaks' name: wish i was jared, nineteen

green-sharpie: KHGFDFGHKLKHGFDSDFGH

Violet-Sabrewing: Don’t be mean

dr. mad scientist: i will not be lectured by a child!

M.A.M.A.: (or anyone)

dr. mad scientist: you say that like it’s an insult but it’s true

ihaveahead!!!: but you’re insulted, aren’t you?

dr. mad scientist: shut up.

TheWebbedWonder: hey Violet’s very knowledgeable!!

Violet-Sabrewing: thank you Webbigail!!

Junior-Woodchuck74: It’s interesting; both of those dysfunctional family dynamics are caused by power abuses and imbalances and lack of communication

Junior-Woodchuck74: both of them have gone far beyond that, but that’s the root of the problem

purpleisforthegays: interesting!

DosCaballero: forgive me, but who are these people again?

dr. mad scientist: god i wish that were me

moonlander-general: villainous fiends!!

DosCaballero: oh okay

DosCaballero: @TrêsCaballero time to fight! The Three Caballeros ride again!

TrêsCaballero: the Three Caballeros ride again!

UnoCaballero: The Three Caballeros ride again!

moonlander-general: Are you three going to say that every time you do something together?

Scrooge-McDuck: You get used to it lassie

Scrooge-McDuck: What you DON’T get used to is three freeloaders mooching off your house and food!!

UnoCaballero: haha bye Uncle Scrooge! Villanious villains to fight!!

Adventure-Pilot: Ooh, fights? Where?

UnoCaballero: not for u lol

Adventure-Pilot: HEY!!

M.A.M.A.: Should I be worried you’re all so eager to be violent or-

dr. mad scientist: you’ve punched me multiple times

M.A.M.A.: you deserved it

M.A.M.A.: And I’ll do it again

dr. mad scientist: noted

Scrooge-McDuck: please don’t incapitate my employee when he should be working

M.A.M.A.: So i’ll do it when he’s off the clock, got it!

dr. mad scientist: hey!!

Lil’ Bulb: he’s always working anyway

dr. mad scientist: true

Scrooge-McDuck: that’s right! You need to work less, lad. I don’t want the unions telling me to pay you overtime

dr. mad scientist: so I can get punched?

Violet-Sabrewing: only if you deserve it

dr. mad scientist: very encouraging, thank you /s

M.A.M.A.: you always deserve it

dr. mad scientist: there we go

TheCrashiestCrash: hey don’t worry Dr. G!! I think you’re a nice person!!

dr. mad scientist: that is factually incorrect but thank you

Blathering-Blatherskite: okay okay let’s all calm down

M.A.M.A.: just say the word, pollito, and I’ll punch his face in

Blathering-Blatherskite: that’s the opposite of what I was going for but thank you M’ma

TheWebbedWonder: YES VIOLENCE!!!

Blathering-Blatherskite: Webby no

TheWebbedWonder: I do think Fenton’s right though! Some problems are better solved with love and compassion

TheWebbedWonder: no matter how much I like punching things!!

Tea Time: that’s my granddaughter!

Scrooge-McDuck: atta girl!!

TheWebbedWonder: aww thank you 💖💖

adefinitelyrealboy: I agree! Talking and understanding can solve a lot of problems!!

Junior-Woodchuck74: statistically, a lot of problems are caused by simple miscommunication!

DosCaballero: especially in sitcoms and the like!

green-sharpie: it’s funny tho

purpleisforthegays: no, it’s just hard to watch

lenaonme: the secondhand embarrassment is real

Violet-Sabrewing: sometimes it’s done well, but that’s fairly rare. Of course that’s all an opinion.

TheCrashiestCrash: you gotta be careful to explain yourself before the problems get big!

Adventure-Pilot: that’s pretty insightful!!

PM between Junior-Woodchuck74 and TotallyNotGizmoduck

Junior-Woodchuck74: Did you see the news?

TotallyNotGizmoduck: no I’m on the clock

TotallyNotGizmoduck: what happened? Is Gizmoduck needed?

Junior-Woodchuck74: I’m not sure

Junior-Woodchuck74: But there was another supposed PK sighting

TotallyNotGizmoduck: Interesting

TotallyNotGizmoduck: That’s the third time this week, and the seventh time this month

Junior-Woodchuck74: Some of them are definitely fake

Junior-Woodchuck74: But this one looks pretty real

Junior-Woodchuck74: If it’s faked they did a pretty good job

TotallyNotGizmoduck: my legal shift ends in forty minutes and Mr. McDuck will be displeased if I stay behind, but as long as I don’t mention overtime it should be fine

TotallyNotGizmoduck: Gyro does it all the time

Junior-Woodchuck74: Don’t take an example from Dr. Gearloose’s sleep schedule

TotallyNotGizmoduck: It is very unhealthy

TotallyNotGizmoduck: I’ve pulled my fair share of all-nighters working on projects, thought

Junior-Woodchuck74: That’s not the same though

Junior-Woodchuck74: I swear that man never sleeps

TotallyNotGizmoduck: He does

TotallyNotGizmoduck: at his desk

TotallyNotGizmoduck: for a couple minutes

Ultimate_Scrooge_Fangirl: I almost have the entire adventure mapped out

Ultimate_Scrooge_Fangirl we just need the key from the goblin realm!

worldsgreatestadventurer: perfect! Do you want to invite Lena and Violet over?

Ultimate_Scrooge_Fangirl: do you even need to ask?

worldsgreatestadventurer: I guess not!

Ultimate_Scrooge_Fangirl: Violet and Lena are my supernatural summoning buddies! The boys just don’t have the same penchant for it as we do :(

worldsgreatestadventurer: ngl i think Louie got traumatized by one of your summonings

Ultimate_Scrooge_Fangirl: yeah, we try to do it when he’s out of the house now

worldsgreatestadventurer: good to hear

Ultimate_Scrooge_Fangirl: other than that, I finished the map of the rock course based on the testimony we got from that weird flesh creature from the other dimension!

worldsgreatestadventurer: haha yeah… that was weird…

worldsgreatestadventurer: let’s not think about that!

Ultimate_Scrooge_Fangirl: fine by me!

Junior-Woodchuck74: He was playing soccer on Webby’s obstacle course and jumped out of one of the third story windows

ihaveahead!!!: oh dear

ICanDeweyIt: it’s called death soccer obstacle course, dear hubert

dr. mad scientist: well I can see where the death part comes in

ghostbutler: In reality a broken leg is fairly tame compared to death

lenaonme: oh true

Violet-Sabrewing: you both would know

Indy_Sabrewing: Hey, be nice. Dewey just broke his leg.

TheWebbedWonder: there’s lots of death! Dewey’s just good enough to escape with only a broken leg!!

dr. mad scientist: jeez you are all crazy

lenaonme: so are you lol

ihaveahead!!!: you have no moral high ground here

Junior-Woodchuck74: Lena, what did we talk about?

*main

*kicks down door* WE'RE BACK BAYBEE!!!!

I'm really sorry about the wait. I didn't intend for it to be this long. I did have a suspicion I might need more time, especially since the day I was originally supposed to post this was the first day of school and just before that I had just pounded out a pretty major piece of writing in two days, so I was a bit burned out. But I've had low motivation because of school, and I've also been working on a pretty big project - I'm writing the script for a fangan comic on instagram (cerealronpa)! (it was pretty fun working on this story and that at the same time because they have COMPLETELY different moods haha.) It won't be out for a while yet and the premise is pretty different from my usual stuff, but I highly encourage you to check it out when it comes out.

anyway between Cerealronpa and school I definitely have less time and motivation than before, so I might push this back to updating every two weeks instead of weekly, sorry about that. I'm not entirely sure if I'll be able to even stick to that, given how long it took me to get this one out, but I'll do my best! it's a little better now that I've settled into a routine anyway.

for the life of me I could not figure out a good username for Officer Cabrera when I was planning this, so I think the wait turned out well because of Frank's ask! I was writing her introduction and trying to think up one on the fly when I was like oH WAIT- djsdfgfd

a very very big thank you to everyone who replied to my tumblr post or discord message(s) about what pokemon the ducktales characters would have! if you responded to this fic offering to help me with pokemon I haven't forgotten that it's just talking to new people is scary so I chickened out this time sjdfgfdfghgfd i'll get you sometime! But for now this is good. I tried to include every pokemon people gave me so I hope it makes sense! Also a thank you to my friend Moon, who's a very big Pokemon fan but not a Ducktales fan, and who did her best to help me. She won't see this but she deserves a shoutout anyway.

Della and Webby's dynamic is one of my favorites so expect more of it!! I was surprised to realize I hadn't written an PM of them yet so here we go!! There'll definitely be more of it in the future.

also there are lowkey Weblena hints in this one if you squint since I just kind of vibed with it while I was writing, but if Weblena's not your cup of tea don't worry. I love me some good Weblena any day, but the focus of this fic has and always will be family and character dynamics. I'm not sure how it'll play out but I love Webby and Lena's dynamic, romantic or platonic, so just a heads up!

don't pull all-nighters like Gyro unless you really need to, kids. get some sleep, it's good for you!

there's a very small tdp reference and a lot3c reference in here and i'm really curious if anyone will catch them 👀

there's also a very small line that's me just like Gyro trans? Gyro trans. Anyway you can pry trans Gyro out of my cold dead hands please and thank you

I think the "Gyro got banned from Starducks" thing is from a very very old discussion (like 2 years ago dsddfgjaksld) I think it might've been @fangirl530 who brought it up? unsure. but it pops up in my head every now and then and i love it so much

I hope you enjoyed and I'll do my best to update again soon!! Your support, especially comments, but even just the hit count, means the world to me. It makes me really happy to hear people are enjoying this story!! I'm so happy it's as fun for you to read as it is for me to write.

this is for hayley! @whistlingwillows a dear friend <3333

it’s meant to be a birthday present haha. i just want to shower you in love;;; so thought maybe i could go through as many of your fics and comment on them :^)))

(TO EVERYONE ELSE: please go to @whistlingwillows blog and read her fics!!! they are SO FCKIN GOOD AND AMAZING AND UGH HER MIND (it’s a lot of mcu and her bucky and steve fics are a*. i DEFINITELY RECOMMEND))

i wish you a VERY happy birthday and i hope we stay friends for many more years <3333333333

i’m going through your masterlist heehee ;)))

ah first off, nice theme! i never could rlly see it before because i’m always on mobile heehee. also sorry for not reviewing them before??? i don’t usually read fics on tumblr as you’ve probably guessed;;

anyways, IM GON REVIEW THE SHIT OUT OF THESE >:DDDD

far from home - bucky x stark sister!reader

firstly, i like how youre introducing the reader from buckys pov, like you can sort of already gather what shes like from them

‘Bucky can hear Tony’s soft inhale, feel the intensity of the man’s glare directed at Steve. He shouldn’t be eavesdropping, but a twitch of muscle would be enough to alert both men that he’s here. With the amount of tension crackling in the air, a brush against the wall would be equivalent to a thousand cymbals crashing in cacophony.’

IM CRYING ALREADY. the imagery in here is GLORIOUS. your tone here is so fitting! oo and the alliteration here is perfecto

ooooooo!! the backstory coming in 👀👀

‘despite what some people think that Steve and Captain America are two different personas, there will always be parts of Steve in the Avenger, and parts of the Avenger in Steve. They both want to believe in something good. They are, after all, one in the same.// Just as how Bucky and the Winter Soldier are the same man despite everything. HYDRA simply amplified the hate, fertilized the seeds of rage, curated the quiet thunder within his soul, within James Buchanan Barnes so that the Winter Soldier could thrive.’

yIKES! lol this is very character study like! nICE. it hurts tho, my poor children, i love you both

oo ‘starlight eyes’ that is a very nice way of describing them

‘“Then what was London?” The protesters. “São Paulo?” The earthquake. “Vancouver?” Freezing cold water.//“Look, I care if Stark’s gonna run us over trying to find her. I care enough because she’s part of our team. Come off it, Steve. I know she can take care of herself. I’m gonna take a nap. Dr. Cho said no partying post-Singapore and what do you know, we throw the biggest party ever.’

ooo singapore uwu and london? (coincidence? haha jkjk) and the hints abt reader and buckys background are so good?? but so annoying??? like i just wanna KNOW yknow??

‘The water runs copper and the sting bites at his palm as he tries not to think. Tries to focus on the numbing cold that runs over his skin.’

your imagery is so vivid?? im actually in awe??? i am so regretful i havent kept reading your fics. like i know they are amazing, i just keep putting them off??? idk man. hopefully this makes up for it (gd tho, im still not done with commenting on one fic. this is what im doing with my motivation teehee ;)

‘ He feels weak. Tired. He wants to go back to bed but he also wants to stay out in the sun for a few hours more. The sun kisses his skin through the windows and he squints against the blue sky, wondering ‘

mood during this quarantine lol

‘“Oh, right.” Your voice is flat, uninterested, cold, as you stare at him. “You killed my parents.”Shit.‘

OUCH LMAO THATS C O L D, O GOT +100 PHYSIC DAMAGE FROM JUST READING THAT

ooo robin as a nickname noice. very much gives me batman vibes lol

oh! and the way of doing the ‘flashback’ is neat! very original. it both tells us what happened AND buckys reaction to it again. he can re-analyse himself and reader. very cool

‘If you walk away now, don’t bother coming back!” Silence. Bucky can hear his own strained breathing, your soft sigh as you soaked in his ultimatum.’

👀👀 yikes that ultimatum. :// not good bucky. tbf theyre both trying to hurt each other but Yikes

eyy!!! readers pov!! finally! and the switch after we find out the outsiders pov? brilliant

oh no :(( more angst

‘When’s the last time you saw your therapist?”“Don’t have one. I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself.”’ they BOTH need therapists;;;;

very good fic!!! :DD they rlly do hate each other! i definitely like how you went back and forth with the timeline! it gave me a v strong idea on what yn was like even before we rlly got introduced. i am now very curious on where reader is? i love your characterisations!

i will read the 10k+ fics but heck the last one took me ages lolol (i will comment in the future tho!! i promise <3 ) (that took me over an hour jjhghgdjh)

slipping away- amnesiac modern bucky x reader

omg,,, AMNESIA! >:DDDDDD

‘ Put your fucking seatbelt on’

oh no, istg theyre going to have a car crash arent they (’ doesn’t put the seatbelt on to spite you.’ NO PLEASE PUT IT ON U DUMBASS)

ok,,,,, at LEAST he put it on before he got hit, thank heck. but still. youre so cruel to your poor characters lmaoo

oh gosh

‘You fall apart slowly, like pieces of you peeling away until you’re nothing more than your broken heart. The sobs that wrack your body are relentless and you shove your forearm into your mouth to muffle your cries. You want to bite into your skin. You want to distract yourself from the agony tearing you to shreds. You want to feel anything but the pain.///Tears sweep into your hair, cloud your vision and your whole face floods with heat as you try to breathe through the pain. You’re cleaved into pieces on that bed, eyes squeezed shut as the tears keep flowing, and your throat burns’

this hurts damn, it is so vivid?? i can really feel it

i am so glad you got into writing yk?? so glad

NO PLS, TELL HIM. TELL HIM :((( ‘shes nice once you get to know her?? shes known nat for years now!! years!!

oh god ‘he looks younger without the burden of your time together’ this is so angsty omg

‘Well, he was stumbling through his apology and I just let him finish.” Your body fills with warmth as you remember his embarrassed smile, the way he shoved his baseball cap farther down his head, chin tucked to his chest, trying to hide that face. “When he was done, I opened my mouth to say something polite but what came out was ‘You look like someone I’d very much like to kiss’.”

this is so soft i stg im crying in the club

OH SHITTTTTTTTTTT , you left it off like that!!! thats so cruel!!!! i can’t!!! how dare you!!!! :””””””((( im typing this with tears in my eyes ill have u know!!

anyway!!! very good fic!! you could honestly make that into a longfic very easily lol. i felt too many emotions :((

i was just about to say where is the fluff!! where is it!! when i saw the next one and yay :))) pls i cant have more angsty stuff rn

cookies and rings and things bucky and reader

‘how much do you love me?’ ‘count the snowflakes, multiply by a million’

did you have to start the fic off with such a SOFT line? its so soft! so TENDER

‘He wonders what kinda insane person wears socks without any clothes on, but then decides that it’s the kind of person who’s fallen in love with him.’ jesus, the soft moments filled with love are the greatest <3

you can write fluff so well, whyd you have to pain me with all that angst ;””””) (1/10 hurt, 9/10 comfort is the way to go lolol) (jkjk ill read the angsty ones too when i have the spoons) (gonna reread that hydra steve one and ik thatll fuck me UP)

‘ Then, he can feel the cold metal of the ring she slid onto her own finger less than twenty-four hours ago and realizes that he had thought a lot of things shouldn’t be possible, and yet they still are. ‘

you literally brought me to tears reading this softness, you have truly found my weakness

‘ She’s so damn gorgeous with flour on her face and eye bags beneath her eyes that he’s sure she will inevitably make his heart burst ‘

he already likes her so much! i can’t believe this is affecting me so much :’)

‘Bucky is quite sure Sam is in love with his girlfriend in the fact that he’s in love with the fact that his girlfriend is possibly in love with Bucky’

this is so soft??? sam loves reader bc reader loves bucky sm. pls my hear <3333

you do fluff SO WELL DAMN

‘F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s voice echoes in his small little perch and he still thinks it’s weird without having the side effect of Stark in his suit chasing after him to hear the A.I. but he shoves that uncomfortable feeling of the dead man out of his head.

Zero Below: Part Three (Jacksepticeye Fanfic)

Part 1

Part 2

The pain that once haunted Jameson's fingers and toes was gone. The cold had seeped into his gloved hands and some had managed to creep its way into his winter shoes. At first they had burned with the searing heat of frostbite, at which point he took off his gloves, but now the pain had faded. In fact, most of the feeling in his hands and feet faded with the pain, along with his will to stay completely awake. As he sat in the cramped tree hollow, the cold that surrounded him and the dull whistle of the wind began to make him sleepy. Of course, he knew that was an awful idea. He needed to stay awake! He wouldn't be able to call out for anyone, for obvious reasons, so it was up to him to make sure they saw where he was huddled. But his eyes continued to droop and everytime they did, all he could think was," It'll be for only a moment." Before his eyes snapped open once more in a desperate attempt to stay awake. Unfortunately, his eyes eventually closed and his mind slipped into a numb and blissful unconsciousness. He became unaware of anything and suddenly, the cold wasn't as bad.

***

The magician and vlogger were sitting side by side in the vehicle. The search party that found them asked where they last seen their friend. The two egos explained where they were when they lost sight and soon the party had left them in the armoured truck to search the snowy landscape. As they sat in the truck, Chase curled into himself, and before Marvin could react, the younger ego began to weep. His breaths were hiccupped and sobs flooded out of him. Marvin acted quickly, though, and wrapped his arms around his younger fellow," Shh, it's alright. They're gonna find him, bud. Sh, sh, it'll be fine, Jamie'll be safe." He crooned, ruffling Chase's hair in a comforting way. Chase shifted his body to lean against the magician, wrapping his arms around his waist to keep himself from shaking so much," I-I can't b-believe I let tha' happen, Marv." He said between shaking gasps of air, to which Marvin simply soothed again," It wasn't your fault..." he continued to comfort the vlogger for the next half-hour, then there was a voice from the driver's seat," I think they may have found your friend." Said the driver, which caught the attention of the two young men.

The driver began to describe the youngest ego Jamie, moustache and all, which caused the two to exclaim happily (and worriedly) that, yes, it was their friend. The driver went silent, listening intently to his intercom, when he turned with a solemn look in his eyes," They say he's in bad shape, but they're taking him in asap. Make room, they're gonna need it to make sure he's alright." The two egos backed up against the wall that separated the driver's area and the back of the vehicle. They waited for a few moments, and then there was a burst of energy as the search party scrambled in. They had a shivering, but otherwise eerily still Jameson Jackson in their arms as they settled him gently onto the floor of the truck. Then everything was a blur; Marvin was holding back Chase so the professionals could do their jobs, Chase was stubbornly holding onto Jamie's hands, which were too cold, to stiff. They were taking off the clothes that were wet with snow and drying off his exposed limbs, covering him with clean and dry thermal blankets. Chase refused to let go his brother's hand, and once the crew was finished checking his vitals, cocooning him in warmth, and basically stabilizing his body, Chase was allowed to get closer. The dapper lad was still shivering, despite the efforts of the crew. The frost that had once lined his moustache had melted, but his lips still had a tinge of blue to them. Chase placed his hands gently on top of Jamie's thickly wrapped torso. He rested his head against his forearms and kept himself as calm as possible. The steady rise and fall of Jameson'schest helped to soothe him. Marvin took to the other side of his youngest brother, and rested a hand on his forehead. While waiting for the search party's return, some of his magical energy returned to him. With the energy he had, he whispered a quick spell under his breath. As he did so, a light glow escaped from under his hand and shimmered for a moment against Jamie's skin. Soon after, his shivering began to slowly cease. Chase sighed in relief and glanced up to Marv, whose head was still down, concentration creased his upper brow as he focused on warming up his baby brother. Chase stared at the hand for a moment before resting his own on top of Marvin's. They sat like that for a while until they made it to the lodge. Jamie was still out, but he seemed at peace, no longer frozen to the touch. Just sleeping.

***

Schneep had, at some point, dozed off. He only realized this when he was awoken by Robbie gently pushing against his shoulder,"Sheep...Sheep need...wake up." with that, the good doctor snapped his eyes open, only to meet the form of the same receptionist running through the crowd," Doctor Schneeplestein! Doctor! I believe they have your brothers!" At that news, Schneep was instantly on his feet, grabbing Robbie's hand and pulling him along to follow the receptionist. He did so until they made it to the large glass doors. It was night, probably around eleven p.m., but the snow had nearly stopped. There were many armoured trucks parked just outside the doors, and as Schneep looked closer, the doors to the vehicles suddenly burst open and large amounts of people were being rushed inside the building. Schneep was dragged backwards by Robbie, so he wouldn't get crushed by the crowd. He was searching desperately for his family, and then he spotted them: Chase, Marvin and...

Oh no.

He saw Jameson laid out on the gurney, covered in thick wool blankets. His mind froze for a split second, then he began to call out," Chase! Marvin! Hier drüben!" He was waving his hand, the other still holding onto Robbie. He was spotted by the magician, who left Chase alone with Jamie to see Henrick," Schneep! Thank God, you guys are-"

"Jamie, what is wrong with the Jamie?" Schneep asked frantically, which caused Marvin to put comforting hands on his shoulders," He's gonna be fine. He suffered from hypothermia-" at this Schneep's worried brow only creased deeper," but they got to him in time. He should be fine." Marvin turned to the direction where they took the youngest ego," Chase is with him right now, we should go and catch up. Are you guys alright?"

"Yes, yes, only worried about your conditions." Robbie pawed confusedly at Schneep's shoulder," 'Ames...hurt...?" Schneep, grabbed the zombie's hand in a soft manner," Yes, Robbie, but he will be fine." He said, " Let us see him, yes?" Marvin nodded and they flowed through the crowd to the area where Jameson had settled.

***

Chase couldn't look at Jameson's face for too long. If he did so, he feared he would just break down. Now that the adrenaline had dissipated, his emotions were starting to catch up with him. He suddenly crumpled further into his seat as a sob escaped his lips. This was his fault. He was supposed to keep an eye on Jamie, to make sure he would be safe.

He failed him.

He bit hard onto his lower lip to keep another cry from being heard. Then he felt a cool, soft hand test on top of his head. When he looked up, Jameson was staring back with a worried, pained look," Oh my, Chase," Jamie's speech slide read, " I am ever so sorry to have made you-"

His slide was stopped halfway as Chase leapt forward and pulled Jameson into a tight embrace. Jamie didn't attempt to finish his words, he only let his head fall into the nape of Chase's neck, warmth flooding through his systems as he returned the hug. When the vlogger finally pulled away, Schneep, Marvin, and Robbie walked through the open doorway into the jury-rigged infirmary for those who were found in the blizzard. They all circled around Jameson's bed, the occupant turning a slight shade of scarlet as they did so.

"Gentlemen, I apologize for causing you so much trouble. I should have been more cautious!" Marvin waved a hand to stop Jamie from continuing," Jameson, stop that now. We were..." The Magician sighed,"...We're just happy that you're okay." A small, relieved smile crossed his lips. Jameson nodded.

"I am as well..." he turned his gaze to the good doctor and his zombified brother," Doctor Schneeplestein! I am so happy to see you again! And you also, Robbie!"

"Yes, is very good to see you JJ." There was sadness behind Schneep's calm eyes, he pulled a chair beside Jameson's bed and placed a hand on the younger ego's sheets, motioning for Robbie to come closer. Robbie looked at Jamie with a confused expression, before throwing on a lopsided smile," 'Ames better...?"

"Yes, my friend. Much."

***

Jackieboy Man wasn't happy, to put it lightly, that his family was put in danger without him knowing. Multiply that by ten when he discovered what had happened to Jameson. But, when the five egos returned home, they were all met with a warm, cozy greeting from Jackieboy Man, Seán, and even Signe. They were home. They were together, still. And it would be a long while before they let themselves be separated again.

***End***

Once again, check out septic-dr-schneep, this story was inspired by their interpretation of the egos! 😊

Kind of a cheesy ending, but dammit, they deserve happiness!!!! Anyway, I finished it!! Yay! First finished multi-part fanfiction!!! I hope you all have an awesomazing day!! 💛💛💛

Roleplay server Log #225

“Cp Gk and Alexsezia at the Bar, Oak and Willows New Forms, Endrea Tweaks, Slender Leaves”

[CP] Is grumbling as GK carries him to the bar- Is this really necessary?

[Gk] Yes. It's been too long.

[CP] - What sort of nightmare could a baby dragon have anyways which would cause this sort of reaction!?

[Gk] Ashe dreamed that someone stabbed Lie with a diamond sword. Those are pretty rare. Even around here.

[CP] - Yeah? So? I'm not the only one around here with one

[Gk] Yes, but you're the only one who occasionally goes bananas because you have too much energy.

[CP] - But I'd never hurt my mate! It is literally impossible for a pasta to harm their mate!

[Gk] Considering your weird behavior in the past, can you blame your friends for taking precautions?

[CP] - I think you're over reacting

[Gk] Well that's your opinion. But I don't think that letting Doc guard your wife for a little bit is a horrible thing.

[CP] - THERE'S NOTHING TO GUARD HER FROM!

[Gk] Then we're just paranoid and no harm done.

[CP] - Other than irritating the fuck out of me...

[Gk] Is mouthing in time to Cp's complaints-

[CP] - You're doing something...

[Gk] pppppth. - Reaches the bar and turns around to push Cp inside with his wing tentacles-

[CP] Grumbles as he's shoved inside-

[Gk] Shapeshifts and follows him in -

[Sam] Waves merrily. They're still a bit pumped from their stint bossing around Cp's kitchen staff, but happy to be back to their own quiet space.

[Alexsezia] is quietly playing pool by herself with a mug on the edge of the nearest table.

[CP] Takes a seat at the bar- You're not gonna let me leave, are you...

[Sam] Why Leave? You just got here sir.

[CP] - Because I was planning on staying with my wife today...

[Gk] Enough nattering. Sam, I think you know what's needed here.

[Alexsezia] That's sweet of you.

[CP] - Yeah, and then GK and Doc got paranoid because Ashe had a nightmare...

[Alexsezia] Has he shown some talent for prophecy? He is an odd little beast. Even for a dragon.

[CP] - I doubt it

[Sam] Heads for the kitchen-

[Gk] Nothing would suprise me. He's wickedly smart.

[Alexsezia] He's extremely good at chess for one so young.

[Gk] Ha, maybe you should give the vacant general's post to him Cp!

[CP] - No! That would be far to stressful for him

[Sam] Comes back with a gigantic pizza covered in meat and cheese and sets it down before making drinks for Gk and Cp-

[Alexsezia] You never know. He has a mind as sharp as a diamond. Don't underestimate him Cp.

[Gk] Grabs a slice and chomps on it happily-

[CP] Grumbles, but takes a slice as well- Besides, I doubt Endrea would let me make Ashe a general

[Gk] Maybe when he's older.

[Alexsezia] I think he'll always be a bit small and sickly, but he'll make up for it in brains.

[CP] - The Nether mobs are more fond of strength in their leaders, not brains, I have to take that into consideration as well

[Alexsezia] Suit yourself. I've given him some rather complex sums to see how he's developing and he solved them easily.

[Gk] You gave the kid math homework? Fucking hell!

[CP] Snorts in amusement-

[Gk] He doesn't need that shit...

[Alexsezia] Maybe not, but it could be very useful later on. This seed is complex, special. He is the same.

[CP] Grumbles-

[Gk] Good shit Sam! Thanks!

[Sam] beams-

[CP] - Can I go back to my wife yet?

[Gk] No. Have some pizza and a shot.

[CP] - Fucker- Does take a shot

[Alexsezia] Sneaks a piece- That is good! What are the little balls?

[Sam] Sausage

[CP] Translate for her-

[Alexsezia] it's pig? Niiice.

[CP] His mind wanders to brush against Lie's, checking that she's alright-

[Gk] At Cp- Are you on the phone?

[CP] Scowls- No!

[Gk] You had that look.

[Alexsezia] It kinda looks like you're daydreaming Cp.

[CP] - I'm not!

[Endrea] Is walking around looking for Doc with her babies-

[Doc] Is walking back towards the town with Lie.

[Endrea] - Doc!

[Doc] Is still on edge and flinches-

[Lie] Puts a gentle hand on Doc's side- Hello Endrea

[Endrea] - Mistress

[Doc] Swallows the mouthful of healing flowers - Sorry Endrea. It's been a relatively stressful day.

[Endrea] - That is alright, I have a favor to ask

[Doc] What is it?

[Endrea] - As you can see, Willow and Oak have grown, and they're speaking full sentences now, do you... Do you think we could give them human forms?

[Doc] I'd love too! And I'm glad to hear they're communicating fully. I was starting to worry they were stunted from sharing an egg like that.

[oak] -waves at doc and lie- hello

[Lie] - Awwww

[willow] rawr I am fearsome

[Endrea] Brushes her children with her wings-

[Doc] Taps hir claws in the dirt, now excited. - I just need a copy sample of pixels from each of you. Can you come over here?

[Ashe] Bounces a little in excitement-

[oak] -goes over to doc-

[willow] -follows oak- rawr

[Doc] Xe sets down some wood blocks and brushes a paw over each of them. It comes away with skin samples and xe starts multiplying them into a lot of raw pixels.

[Endrea] Looks down at her two youngest- Are you two ready for this?

[willow] I am I never fear

[oak] i am ready mama

[Ashe] - You'll be like me! Able to shift forms!

[Doc] Is gleefully forming the raw stuff into a pair of small humanoid shapes like black and white dolls.

[Doc] Lie? Do you still have any of Ashe's small clothes hanging around? I can copy them and change the colors if you want.

[Lie] - I think so...

[Endrea] - If you don't mind watching them I know there are some in our room

[Doc] Is making little wings and whistling cheerfully-

[Lie] - Sure, go ahead

[Endrea] Spreads her wings and takes off, quickly flying towards Lie's place-

[Ashe] - Doc! Doc! Uncle GG started teaching me how to fly!

[Doc] Aww. How did it go? Did you get some air? - Xe's adding little ears to the two forms.

[willow] -is jumping around doc-

[Ashe] - I got a little bit of air... And then I fell in the sand...

[Endrea] Is returning with clothes-

[Doc] Easy Willow, this won't take long.

[Doc] Is molding a short tail and pushes up one dolly to attach it.

[Endrea] Lands and passes the clothes over to Lie-

[Doc] Is embellishing the tails with little squared spines. -

[Lie] Get's the clothes ready-

[Doc] Puts some little claws on the fronts of their feet and takes a good look at the kids before working on their faces.

[Endrea]- Calm down Willow, it will be ready soon

[Doc] Picks up the forms and looks them over carefully - Looks good to me. What do you kids think?

[willow] I like them

[oak] I do too

[Doc] Picks up Oak's doll and holds it out. - It'll vanish into your inventory almost immediately, that's normal. Just give it a big hug-

[oak] -hugs the doll-

-The figure poofs into Oak's inventory, and stays there in a small sprite as an item of clothing. -

[Doc] Just hold that for a minute Oak. Let me give Willow their doll as well- Offers the form to the other baby dragon-

[willow] -jumps on the doll excitedly-

-Also poofs and vanishes-

[Doc] Okay kids. Do you know how to change your clothes inside your inventory?

[oak] no

[willow] not but I will try anyway -tries to fettle to get to the new body but is just flailing-

[Doc] Pokes around them a little bit so they can see their inventories - Just move it from here to here. You only have to do it this way the first time.

[Ashe] Is getting very excited-

[willow] -quickly does and is now human-

[oak] -does it as well-

[Endrea] Looks at them proudly-

[Doc] You brought some clothes? What colors do you two want?

[Lie] Has the clothes at the ready-

[willow] I want it to look like diamonds and the rocks that stay on fire

[Doc] Adjusts the clothes to red and blue and lays them down on the wood blocks-

[Lie] - Come here Willow, I'll help you into them

[Doc] Oak? How about you?

[oak] I like the colors of big brothers wings and gg's

[willow] -tries to get up to walk like ashe but instantly falls over she crawls over instead-

[Doc] Okay. - Xe fixes the other set of clothes and holds them out for them.

[Lie] - It's okay Willow, we'll help you learn how to walk upright- She takes the clothes for Willow and starts helping her into them

[Doc] Is obviously proud and whispers to Endrea- thank you for letting me do that. I want them to be safe. it'll be Yaunfen's turn before I know it.

[Endrea] - You're welcome Doc

[oak] -crawls over to lie-

[Lie] Smiles at him and helps him into his clothes as well- There you go

[oak] yay now I can be like big brother and gg

[Lie] - He's never going to lose that nickname, is he?

[Doc] Let me help you Willow. - Xe's puts hir paws under their arms and helps them to their feet.

[Endrea] - Never, I'll make certain of that

[Ashe] - Oak! Do you want me to help you?

[willow] -legs are a little wobbly-

[oak] yes please

[Ashe] Goes over and lifts Oak up-

[Doc] It's okay, I've got you Willow.

[oak] thank you big brother

[Endrea] Settles down- We'll let them have some fun for now, and then we'll go show Uncle GG

[willow] -tries moving around holding on to doc-

[Doc] Use your tail to balance like a brewing stand if you need to stop Willow

[willow] -is doing her best to stay upright then her feet give out and is still being held up by doc-

[Lie] - It's okay if you guys don't get it right away, it took your mom some time to learn how to walk upright too

[willow] I want to learn the fastest so I can run around

[Ashe] - Willow, it's okay to take your time

[Doc] Sets her upright again- I've got your arms. Just try to move your feet.

[willow] -tries walking like she has seen ashe do-

[Doc] Just moves along with hir on hir own back legs. Hir body's flexible enough to be nearly bent in half over the small child.

[Ashe] - You doing okay Oak?

[oak] yes I am just not good at this yet

[Ashe] - That's okay! I'll help you learn!

[oak] yay!

[Lie] Sits next to Endrea- Endrea, earlier you called me Mistress, please don't do that

[Endrea] - And why not? You are Mistress to me as your husband is Master to the others

[Doc] Is trying to walk Willow gently along.

[Lie] - I'm just not comfortable with it

[Endrea] - Very well, however some of the others may still call you that

[Lie] Sighs- Thanks for the heads up at least

[willow] -is sticking her tongue out in concentration-

[Doc] Is watching her feet closely-

[willow] her feet are not taking the right steps but she is managing to stay upright

[Endrea] Rolls over, her tail knocking into a tree-

[Doc] Uses hir tail to correct Willow's steps a bit- Whoah? Endrea? You okay?!

[willow] -are getting the motions closer but is starting to get tired-

[Endrea] - I'll be fine, my size sometimes makes things a little awkward

[Doc] See's she's tiring and helps her sit. -Endrea.... I think the next one who needs adjustment... is you.

[Endrea] - Me?

[Lie] - You are on a roll today Doc

[willow] -sits on the grass-

[Ashe] - Do you need a break Oak?

[oak] I think so

[Ashe] - Okay- Helps Oak gently to the ground

[Doc] Endrea... your size needs to be constrained. Otherwise, eventually you'll be too big to fly properly, or brood without crushing your eggs.

[Endrea] - But right now I'm not even fully grown...

[oak] -sits on the grass-

[Doc] So? How big do you need to be? You're already twice as big as a normal Enderdragon.

[Endrea] - I don't know... It's just a part of my coding...

[Doc] So? That's just baseline stuff. I'm asking what YOU want.

[Endrea] - I... I suppose I'd rather not get any bigger...

[Doc] Then I'll fix it. I doubt it's anything complex since it's not supposed to be in your code in the first place.

[Endrea] - Alright, do you need me to do anything?

[Doc] Probably not, though, maybe sit on your haunches while I'm working on it.

[Endrea] Sits up and waits patiently-

[Lie] - Maybe you could make it so she's more normal sized but can access her larger size in a fight?

[Doc] Oh, that's a great idea! Geeze... that would scare the fuck out of anyone! Do you want me to do that Endrea?

[Endrea] - If it would be easier for you...

[Doc] I can do either.

[Endrea] Looks at her children and considers everything- Let's do the second option

[Doc] Can do. - Xe puts down a command block and opens the screen to get a good look at Endrea's code. The snarly lines added by Cp's NOTCH stand out to hir practiced eyes.

[Lie] - Can you see where she was altered?

[Doc] Oh yes. And I can block it off too. It's close to her reincarnation protocol though, so I'll have to be gentle. Stay still, okay?

[Endrea] - I understand

[Ashe] - What are you doing?

[Doc] I'm going to put a cap on your mom's growth so she doesn't outgrow the server.

[Ashe] - She could outgrow the server?

[Doc] Is typing - Well, there is a ceiling up there. And it's possible to be too big to fly properly.

[Ashe] - But mama loves flying with Uncle GG...

[Doc] Exactly - Xe's making some delicate tweaks and writing a new set of commands for when she needs to be big and what kind of parameters need to be met to trigger and maintain it.

[Lie] Watches the screen carefully-

[Deer] Over chat- Love what are you doing? I've felt you make several tweaks recently

[Doc] Over chat and aloud- It's been a red letter day darling. I made three new bodies and now I'm doing a bit of code-work for Endrea.

[Deer] - Such productivity

[Doc] Wait till you see Willow and Oak, they're adorable.

[Deer] - I'd come out to see, but Yaunfen is napping

[Doc] Awww. It can wait. I'm sure they'll be around. - Xe's adding a few touches. - You know Endrea... it wouldn't be a bad idea to make this a voice command. What's a word you never use that could trigger it?

[Endrea] - I don't know...

[Lie] - Use Mistress, that way you'll be better at remembering not to call me that

[Doc] Yeah but she might trip up and say it somewhere and explode out of a building and hurt herself. Try something else.

[Endrea] - What word might you suggest Doctor?

[Doc] Something that doesn't exist here. Or a forgien word in another language.

[Lie] - What about Artemisia?

[Doc] I have zero idea what that is, as long as you won't forget it, it's good with me.

[Endrea] - I believe I can remember that

[Doc] Has hir tongue poking slightly out in concentration as xe connects the codes on the screen in front of hir. - All ready?

[Endrea] - Go ahead

[Doc] Crosses hir paws to hit three keys at once- Resetting... NOW.

[Endrea] Jerks a little before her form begins to shrink. She shudders as this happens and her form condenses into that of a normal enderdragon-

[Doc] Hows that? Anything errored or painful?

[Endrea] Twists around a little and flexes her muscles- Not that I can tell...

[Doc] Good. This should be a bit easier to manage. It'd be sad if you couldn't take your true form without smashing and bumping into things.

[Endrea] - Yes, thank you Doc

[Ashe] - Mama got smaller!

[willow] cool

[Doc] Well this is the normal size for an Enderdragon. And you only have to concentrate on the word you chose to get big for fighting. Once you relax you'll shrink down again.

[Endrea] Stands and goes over to her children to nuzzle them-

[Lie] - I bet GK will be very surprised

[oak] -nuzzles back-

[Doc] Dusts hir paws- especially if he pisses you off....

[Endrea] Laughs a little- I doubt he'd anger me on purpose

[Doc] grins- He was a little scared when you grumped at him for tricking you so I could jump on your head.

[Endrea] - I'm still not pleased about that...

[Ashe] - That was funny

[Lie] - Wait, you what?

[Doc] I'm a doctor and I knew she wouldn't take a pain pill without a struggle. i just employed a bit of trickery.

[Lie] Groans-

-A few days later-

[Slender] Is fixing Splender's bowtie- And you're certain you're going to be alright now?

[Splender] - Yes brother, besides, Sally needs you

[Strangled] He and the proxies are waiting while the slender beings finish up-

[Doc] Comes down the hill with Yaunfen at hir side -

[TLOT and Steve] are heading that way as well. Pinwheel is roaming a bit but generally behind them.

[Yaunfen] - Mada! Mada! Burp?

[Doc] We're just seeing a few people off kiddo.

[TLOT] Takes Steve's hand so he isn't too scared.

[Ring Leader] Is super tired and yawning, but does notice them approaching-

[Pinwheel] Growls at the water-

[Doc] Waves- We came down to see you guys off.

[Ring Leader] - Oh! That's really nice of you!- Yawns again

[TLOT] Gives Pinwheel a pat- Stay away from the water.

[Doc] Why so tired Ring Leader?

[Pinwheel] Hisses-

[Masky] - She's been sleeping in till mid day lately

[Doc] Ah. Are the short days and nights messing with your internal clock?

[Ring Leader] - A little

[Slender] Approaches the three waiting for him- Are the three of you ready?

[Strangled] - Fuck yes get us out of here!

[Doc] Looks a little hurt by Strangled's comment-

[Steve] Quietly at Ring Leader- It was nice meeting you.

[Splender] - Brother!

[Slender] Sighs- Did you undo your tie again?

[Ring Leader] - Same to you!

[Doc] Come play with us again some time, okay?

[Ring Leader] - Absolutely!

[Splender] Approaches his brother, having accidentally undone his bowtie-

[Slender] Redoes the tie for his brother- Stay safe brother

[Splender] - I will!

[Doc] Safe travel, all of you.

[Splender] Creates an opening for the others to the manor- Give Sally and everyone else my love!

[Slender] - I will brother

[TLOT] Catches a whiff of the smell from the manor and holds his breath to keep from hacking-

[Steve] Waves-

[Slender] Walks through with the others following him-

[Splender] With one last wave he closes the portal- Well that was a nice visit

[Doc] Just kind of falls over in the grass.

[TLOT] Takes a huge gasping breath-

[Pinwheel] Goes and hides under Splender's bed-

[Yaunfen] Satisfied- Burp

[Doc] Agreed. -said very firmly - Burp.

[TLOT] Laughs.

[Splender] Turns towards the others- It was wonderful for the three of you to come see brother off!

[Doc] Gives him a thumbs up-

[TLOT] We figured it would be polite. Your brother is awfully formal in his interactions.

[Splender] - It's how he was raised, he was supposed to take over our family household eventually, but then he took our other brothers and brought them here instead

[Doc] He told me. And I figured it was an age issue. - types to Deerheart- We're clear. How's the server?

[Deer] - I think the ground wants to say hello...

[Doc] Do I need to come over there? Just take a nap if you have too!

[Deer] - Nevermind, sheet's said hello first

[Doc] Awww. Just do what you need too. I'm communing with the grass myself.

[TLOT] Peeks into the house at Pinwheels tail poking out from under the bed- Someone was in a hurry to get home.

[CP] Over chat- Will you two lovebirds shut up?

[Splender] Is whistling as he moves things around in his house-

[Steve] Kneels down near the bed, but not too close. - why are you hiding?

[Doc] Types - No

[Pinwheel] Is clawing at the leg of the bed-

[Steve] Doc made you a scratching post upstairs Pinwheel, it's much taller too.

[Pinwheel] Hisses at Steve-

[Splender] - Oh Steve, what are you doing?

[Steve] Talking to Pinwheel. She's under your bed.

[Splender] - She likes to try and break the bed

[Steve] Why?

[Splender] Shrugs-

[TLOT] I could replace the legs with something harder?

[Splender] - No, it's alright

[TLOT] Okay. I'm glad you're feeling better.

[Splender] - Brother's always been good about making sure I return to my usual spirits!

[TLOT] Shame about Strangled though....

[Steve] Ring Leader was nice, you should invite her around more often.

[Splender] - I would, but it would be dangerous for her

[TLOT] To be around you? Or just digital in general?

[Splender] - To become digital, because of a proxies connection to their master, it would be very dangerous and painful for her to become digital, and the pain wouldn't stop

[TLOT] Geeze....

[Steve] Well you have to stay for a very long time for that to happen. Markus was here for so long before the sickness got to him.

[Splender] - I see

[Yaunfen] - Mada!

[Doc] Is still flopped in the grass, and opens hir arms- want a hug?

[Yaunfen] Crawls on top of Doc and tries to sit on their face-

[Doc] Little room for air please.

[TLOT] Peeks out of the doorway- You guys doing okay out here?

[Yaunfen] - Burp!

[Steve] Is sitting on the floor - Pinwheel? I'll scratch you if you come out.

[Doc] Shifts Yaunfen a little and cuddles them- You're getting big so fast.

[Pinwheel] - No!

[Steve] Are you suuuure?

[Pinwheel] Keeps scratching-

[Yaunfen] Snuggles back- Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuurp

[Doc] I love you too.

Another Hit on the Head (Evil Plants AU fanfic)

After being a long while out of Tumblr, I finished this lil trash that I call a fanfiction.

Couldn’t think of a better title ;-;

My English is just intermediary (and this is my first fanfic in English) so yeah, don’t expect too much from it

PvZH belongs to Popcap, Evil Plants AU belongs to @lissandre-art-blog (hope you don’t get too disappointed on me, friend)

Special thanks to @irl-chomper for being so supportive =‘) Hope you don’t get disappointed too

It wasn't a beautiful evening. Because of the huge dark clouds, anyone looking at the sky would think it was late night. It could start raining at any moment, and the thunders could, occasionally, be heard from afar.

Most of people decided to stay home, not only because of the unfriendly weather, but also because Suburbia is filled with threats now. A bonk choy, walking along the street, humming a happy tune and jumping of joy… He is known as Grass Knuckles, and yes, he is one of those threats.

Why so happy? Ah, just because he got more “trophies” after beating some guys. He kept humming, without any worries about the weather, walking towards his abandoned factory…

…Actually, it's a Z-Tech factory, but he says he owns it, just like all the stuff he stole from his victims.

He got even more excited after hearing footsteps, imagining that it was another person dumb enough to try to defeat him. However, after turning around, he found out that the street was empty.

- Who's there?

No response, just the sound of the wind. He kept walking, trying to convince himself that it was just an impression. Yeah, he probably just heard the sound of his landing after a jump.

As he kept his way, no longer humming and jumping, but still in a happy mood, he started to feel that someone was watching him. But who? The streets were empty! He started paying atention to the houses, trying to find the source of this weird feeling. Some people were looking at the scenery through the window, but the first sight of the green villain was enough to make all of them close the curtains.

After some more insecure walking, he finaly reached the spot he wanted. However, he didn't get rid of that feeling. If someone was really watching him, that person would discover his safe place.

- Who's there? Stop being such a coward and face me!

Again, there was no response; just a thunder in the background. Without alternatives, he stepped on the sidewalk and started running, making his way through the buildings, hoping to mislead his supposed follower before reaching the fence.

Finally, he climbed the fence and went to his factory.

- What was that?! - He wondered after closing the door. - It… It was just an impression, right? Yeah! Nothing serious! Well, you've had a long day, Grass Knuckles! You deserve some rest.

He smiled at his new spoils beforing adding them to a pile of things, and then decided to drink some water and, well, rest.

However, he couldn't rest for too long.

After some minutes, when he was about to take a nap, someone knocked on the door, scaring him. Nobody was supposed to know!

- WHAT??!! - He took a deep breath after shouting. - Who… Who is there?

- Theodore! - The visitor giggled after replying. The voice was familiar to Grass Knuckles, but he couldn't recognize it. Actually, he didn't remember anyone whose name was Theodore.

- Theodore? Theodore who?

- Theodore isn't open so I had to knock.

He screamed of anger after realizing he fell into a knock knock joke. The joker, however, couldn't stop laughing. That laughter was so unmistakable that Grass Knuckles couldn't even believe it.

“What… What is he doing here?!” He thought.

The plant villain answered the door, finding a zombie… A very famous imp… In front of him, that got defensive right after.

- Grass Knuckles! I challenge you! - Impfinity said, jolly, like if that was some kind of game.

Those words filled the bonk choy with adrenaline. The perfect opportunity to destroy the multiplying pest!

However, when he was about to start the battle, something made him stop.

- Sorry… I won't fight an imp.

- Wait… What?! - The imp couldn't avoid making a frustrated face.

- Yeah, I refuse to fight you.

- WHY?!

- Don't you realize that a single strong punch might be enough to break all your bones? Too weak! Not my level.

- Says the guy who fights civilians.

- They're not as fragile as you. But hey, you should be happy! I'm sparing you!

Impfinity was furious, but suddenly, a smile and an idea.

- Alright then, I'll just come back to the headquarters and tell Zomboss your hiding spot. He'll probably send someone else to fight you. - He turned around, but couldn't even start walking. Grass Knuckles grabbed him by the arms, trying to make sure he wouldn't press the button on his belt.

- You're not going anywhere! - He said, pushing the zombie hero to the factory and holding his arms again right after. Impfinity tried to break free, but Grass Knuckles was stronger.

The plant closed the door.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! KIDNAPPING ME?!

- I can't fight you because it would be unfair, but you'll expose me if I let you go. That's the only option left! - The imp froze. - Aw, this expression of fear is so cute and satisfying!

The zombie quickly kicked the bonk choy, trying to find another way to break free, but it didn't work. Grass Knuckles was too tough. Maybe a bite would be a good solution? He's a vegetable after all, right? Impfinity stepped back in order to get closer.

The plant villain tried to avoid the high-pitched scream, but couldn't. That pest had just biten his leaf! That hurts! He accidentally released the imp, that activated his belt right after.

A flashing light, and then, two identical imps in the room.

Grass Knuckles stared at them. Both were in a fighting position, clearly calling the plant for a fight.

But there was something wrong.

Impfinity wouldn't come face to face with Grass Knuckles alone, and would clone himself a hundred times at the first chance, and not only once.

- Should have accepted my challenge when there was just one of me! - One of the imps said before giggling.

- Alright. - Grass Knuckles decided to play along after seeing a blue thing through the window that allowed him to have an idea of what Impfinity's plan was. - I really don't want to fight, but if you insist… Just don't cry when I break you.

“He thinks he can deceive me… Foolish.”

Yay! - The Impfinities celebrated before separating, one going to the right and the other to the left, but both heading towards Grass Knuckles. The plant tried to keep an eye on both of them, and as soon as one jumped, he punched him.

The imp hit against the villain's pile of trophies, and at the same moment, Grass Knuckles felt something hitting his “head” pretty hard from behind.

He attacked the other imp, that had just jumped on him and kicked his head, but this one wasn't taking it easy. He used the bonk choy's leafy arm as a support to jump over him, grabbing and pulling his “hair” before landing.

Even with the pain, Grass Knuckles could turn around brutally, throwing the imp, that hit against the wall.

He looked at the window after remembering that there was something there. It was just the time to realize that the other Impfinity was about to jump on him. His first reaction was a simple push, just enough for him to don't get hurt.

He was about to try landing a punch when, again, the other imp jumped on him from the behind. Fortunately (for Grass Knuckles), there was no kick this time. The zombie just decided to stay on his head to annoy him and hamper his movements.

The bonk choy simply grabbed him by the arms and slammed him against the floor. He wasn't great, so that was enough to make him poof.

The imp left couldn't avoid gasping.

“A clone, like I expected.” Grass Knuckles thought. Impfinity doesn't poof when badly hurt, but his clones do. “Now it's time to check the other one…”

The zombie hero jumped and landed near the window, trying to get some distance, and then pressed the button on his belt.

The plant villain ran towards him.

A flashing light. Grass Knuckles decided to give his theory a try and looked at the window. He was right. Another Impfinity jumped through it and, prepared, the bonk choy grabbed him by the feet before the landing and used him to hit the other, that poofed. Then he slammed this newcomer imp against the floor twice, making him poof as well.

“Yes!”

The plant villain decided to go outside. There, he found exactly what he expected to find: a tower of Impfinities near the window.

- Ops… - One of them said.

- Dismantle! Dismantle! - The orders could be heard, probably from the original Impfinity.

The imps on the top started to jump, in a sequence, trying to dismantle the tower. Grass Knuckles ran towards it, hitting the ones on the bottom, destabilizing the tower.

- Strike!

The ones that couldn't jump fell. Some poofed after hitting the ground, some didn't, and a small amount could use their acrobatic abilities to land safely.

Grass Knuckles decided to take advantage of this lack of stability. He grabbed one of the imps that was trying to get up after a very high fall and tried to throw him at one of the unhurt imps. Fortunately, he dodged, and then hit the button on his belt several times.

Some kind of electricity came from the “bulb” on his head, and new Impfinities appeared.

- Original! I was looking for you! - Grass Knuckles said, laughing, after realizing he almost hit the real Impfinity.

- I know! - Impfinity smiled.

- This is your last chance: I don't want to fight you! Surrender! - The plant lied. He really wanted to beat Impfinity, but even with all that cheating, he still felt that that fight was too much for an imp.

- Oh, don't worry! You won't fight just me. You will fight me, me, me, the other me, and me, and some more “mes”!

- I would even say this is unfair if you weren't so weak…

They stared at each other for a while. Suddenly, Grass Knuckles felt another kick on his head.

- Hey! - He turned around, finding a bunch of clones, that jumped on him right after. One pulled the hair, other touched the eye, other bited… It was chaos.

- Come on, guys! Let's get the jump! - He heard Impfinity while trying to break free.

Okay, maybe fighting a multiplying imp wasn't a very good idea.

He grabbed one of the clones that were on him and used it to hurt the others, making them poof, since they had already fallen from a tower. Then, he threw this same clone at the Impfinities that were heading towards him. Many jumped to dodge, but most of them got hit and fell down; the one that was thrown poofed.

Again, the clones reunited to get the jump on him. He could punch some of them, and they instantly poofed.

All the tension was starting to make Grass Knuckles lose control.

The ones he couldn't punch divided roles. Some tried to grab his arms to make him unable to attack, some kept pulling his hair. He could see one of the Impfinities run towards him and jump on him, kicking his head… Once more.

Grass Knuckles's headache got even worse, and everyone started to get the jump on him. He slowly started to feel unable to move because of all those imps.

The villain screamed and used his strength to break free. Many imps were thrown. He grabbed one by the feet and, again, used it to hit the others.

All these were poofed, except for one, that was protected by some of the others.

After that, the plant could see more Impfinities trying to get the jump on him.

“NOT AGAIN!”

He did his best and punched all the clones he could punch. Some surprised him, but he grabbed these ones and threw at the others. All of them were poofing.

The original Impfinity was in the middle of the battle, of course. He doesn't like to make his clones fight while he just watches, he wants to fight as well. With the help of his clones, he could stay safe, but all of the clones were dying.

The plan was “put pressure and make Grass Knuckles tired”. He thought that it would help, but that didn't seem to be a good strategy anymore. Grass Knuckles was only getting angrier and angrier. That was turning him into a fighting machine, and changing the plan wasn't an option at the moment.

The clones were dying, and he had to make more.

The zombie hero decided to run from the fight to be safe. There, he could start hitting his belt, making more identical imps. Grass Knuckles, however, saw the electricity and tried to throw a clone at it, hoping to hit the real Impfinity, that quickly dodged and watched the poof.

“I won't get rid of this problem if I don't focus the original.” The villain thought.

Impfinity turned around and found Grass Knuckles running towards him. The plant tried to punch the imp, that was faster and used the bonk choy's arm as a support to jump over him.

The villain, unsatisfied, headed towards Impfinity again, that looked at the fence and saw an oportunity. He started to run in the direction of the fence, followed by Grass Knuckles. The imp was faster, and still cloned himself, trying to slow the plant down.

Finnaly, Impfinity jumped and landed on the other side of the fence. Grass Knuckles started climbing it as the zombie decided to run and find a safe place.

- You can't run from me, Impfinity! - The bonk choy said. Meanwhile, behind a house, the imp took a deep breath and started cloning.

- We're gonna try getting the jump on Grass Knuckles when he shows up, like a surprise party. - He whispered.

The plant, however, saw the unmistakable electricity that comes from Impfinity when he clones himself and got ready.

At the moment he showed up, the Impfinities jumped on him, but he could, again, grab one and use it against the others. The original jumped off before getting hurt and cloned a bit more, running right after.

- No way! - Grass Knuckles threw the clone at him. This time, he couldn't dodge. In fact, he didn't even see that coming.

Impfinity was slowly getting up when his thrown clone gasped and jumped. He turned around and found the plant villain really close to him. His first reaction was to make some more clones while trying to get up, but Grass Knuckles, like always, grabbed one of the imps. He threw it at the original, again, that, this time, ended up hitting the head against the ground.

Finaly, Grass Knuckles punched the real Impfinity. The evil plant made sure to punch him right in the belt's button, to break it. The few clones that were still alive, trying to push Grass Knuckles away, immediately poofed.

- Boy, I'll be honest! - The bonk choy laughed. - For a moment, I really thought that you had a chance! I'm impressed! Or should I say… Impressed?

Impfinity loves imp puns, but that one didn't make him happy. In fact, the only thing he could feel was the pain. If you wanna make him suffer, break his belt. It's not only a way to prevent him from cloning and instakill all the clones, but it's also very painful.

- This terrible headache I'm feeling was worth it. Watching your pain is priceless! - Impfinity could hear Grass Knuckles' voice. He looked at the plant and found out that he was about to get punched right in the face.

- NO! - He rolled to the side, making Grass Knuckles punch the ground and scream right after.

The zombie hero got up quickly, his hand on the broken button. He started running with some difficulty, trying to escape.

Impfinity turned a corner and ran along an alley. It took him a while to find supports to make a high jump, high enough to reach the roofs. With a smile, he ran towards a pipe, that didn't break because of the imp's lightness, and jumped on it, trying to land on an awning, in order to use it as a trampoline and reach the roofs, where he would be safe and could start making his way to the headquarters.

However, as expected, Grass Knuckles followed him, even after hurting his hand by punching the ground. When he saw that his victim was about to escape, he got a trash can lid and threw it at Impfinity, that couldn't land correctly after getting hit.

The zombie slipped and fell. Grass Knuckles approached and lifted him, only so he could land a strong punch. Right after, he slammed Impfinity against the wall, and only then his expression of anger and hate turned into a creepy smile.

- I won! - He said jolly before releasing the imp, that moaned a little after falling on the ground. His legs couldn't stand anymore, and he could barely move. - Congratulations, Impfinity. You're the hardest opponent I've ever faced! But, of course, wasn't able to defeat me. Well, now that I've beaten you, it's time to get my prize, and this cloning machine you're wearing seems pretty cool.

- Please… Don't…

- Yeah, I liked it. It's mine now. - Grass Knuckles' smile widened. - Wait a second… Just remembered that I have to kidnap you! - He laughed.

Impfinity was going to say that he told Zomboss the plant's hiding spot right after stalking him earlier, before fighting, but then he realized that it was better to keep that information as a secret.

Not to mention that he could barely speak as well.

- Boy… - Grass Knuckles stared at the belt. - I shouldn't have broken it. How am I going to check if I can clone myself now? And I'm not good at fixing things… If I only had a friend that…

Flashback ON

- Grass Knuckles… You're very good at breaking things.

- Yeah, I know…

- Hey, don't be sad. It's ok to be clumsy! Just... Try to be careful. It's a cell phone after all, and not just a toy… I mean, it's not a toy, but it really looks like a toy to me… This old human tech…

- But can you fix it?

- Of course I can!

- Thank you! Boy, it's really great to have a tech expert as a friend.

- Citron will always be here for you!

Flashback OFF

Grass Knuckles lost his balance. What… What was that?

Was that… A memory?

He knew that he was a hero before turning into an evil green robber, and he knew that he had friends, but that sudden memory… It was good to have a friend. It was good to have Citron by his side.

The plant felt split. He was happy with his current life as a bad guy, accumulating goods, beating people and watching them suffer… But there was a part of him that wanted to remember more, a part that missed Citron's friendship, and not because he's good at fixing things.

Even knowing that he used to be good, that was the first time Grass Knuckles felt that way after becoming a villain. He knew he was good, but he couldn't remember that it was good to be good.

Where is Citron now? What happened to him? What happened to the others? Who are the others?

The plant felt the first drops of rain splashing on his face and hands, and it got intense quickly.

“This is going to be a real storm.” He thought.

At that moment, he saw Impfinity on the ground.

- Impfinity? Are you there? - There was no response. He approached and found out that the imp was unconscious.

“Oh boy… What have I done? Of course, Impfinity is a pest… And he asked for it... But… He was already defeated, I didn't need to… Hurt him like that… I haven't killed him, have I? I hurt people, but I'm not a killer!”.

- Hey, wake up! - He tried shaking the imp, but, again, no response.

Grass Knuckles took a deep breath.

“I was going to kidnap him anyways…” The bonk choy decided to take the zombie hero with him and go the factory, where Impfinity could rest and get better.

None of them realized that the fight had an audience, that watched everything through the windows since they left the factory. These people, too scared to intervene, closed their curtains with sadness after seeing the villain's victory. The alley got empty, just Grass Knuckles carrying Impfinity, heading towards the factory, trying to comprehend the feeling that the memory brought, on a rainy and dark night.

Hope u liked it *hides*

RWBY V6 CH7 Review: The Grimm Reaper

(Note: This was orignally posted on my backup blog due to a series of events that was due to this blog being flagged and me unable to post until now. This is a repost from said blog.)

We are at the halfway point! Yay! God, it has been one Hell of a first half so far. Unlocked secrets, evil plotting, a wintry forest, and zombie Grimm. It has been a dark, tense, emotionally breaking journey so far and we’re only halfway through. I can only imagine what the rest of the volume is going to be like. But first, we have to get this chapter out of the way. So lets do this!

Overview

We begin in, of all places, the Haven Vault. I wonder if they ever got Vernal’s body out of there… anyways, Cinder has brought Neo there, having apparently explained to her the Maidens, Relics, and of Salem. IDK how much detail she went into, but hey it sounds like the basics were covered. The door to the dimension where the lamp was is now sealed off completely. Heck it’s not even a door anymore, just a giant stone wall. So why has Cinder told Neo all of this? Well Cinder has been forbidden form killing Ruby via Salem, which makes sense since she also forbade Tyrian form killing her back in V4. Why? No clue, but it’s probably bad. But while Cinder can’t kill our hooded heroine, Neo is under no such obligation. So if Neo helps Cinder get to Atlas so that she can reclaim the Relic and redeem herself to her mistress, then Neo can get her revenge for them both and it can be played off as an unfortunate accident. Neo seems to be on board with this plan as the two villainesses shake hands. This is not going to end well…

Speaking of not ending well, we suddenly cut to a foggy area where a woman in a blue cloak is waking along a rope-bridge. It reminds me of V1, CH8 tbh. This woman, clad in blue and wearing a skeleton mask, is the Grimm Reaper. Or, more relevant to us, a younger Maria Calavera. Yes my friends, we are in a flashback now. And it’s one Hell of an impressive one as Maria is faced with a giant Nevermore, leading to a badass fight sequence. We also get to see Maria’s weapons, pair of sickles powered by Gravity Dust, allowing her to maneuver them at will. They are awesome! Its really hard to talk about a fight scene, but you know how the girls struggled against one Nevermore back in Volume 1? Maria handles it single-handed here, ending it via a blast of her Silver Eyes. It turns the Grimm to stone and it promptly shatters. This indicates that, when controlled, the Silver Eyes can merely petrify a Grimm and not outright obliterate it, which would explain how Ruby froze the Dragon back in V3, but didn’t kill it.

Maria may have killed the birdie, but she soon is faced with other problems. She gets ambushed by a group of bandits, who are led by a cocky Crocodile Faunus woman named Tock. She is based off the crocodile from Peter Pan, and man her design is freakin’ great. She’s a rather confident woman, already knowing who Maria is and bragging that these next sixty seconds will be the Grimm Reaper’s lasts. As she says this, she turns on a clock as her aura glows. It was revealed by one of the animators on Twitter that Tock’s Semblance is, for sixty seconds, she is completely invincible. This is demonstrated as the fight begins, the seconds ticking in the background, as while Maria can handle the other bandits, Tock gives her quite the challenge. Weapons break when they hit her and not even minor damage can be done. It’s pretty much regular aura, but multiplied by 100.

Maria gives it her all, even combining her weapons in a dual-wielding form. But Tock is able to bite it in half and knock the Grimm Reaper’s mask off. This leaves Maria’s Silver Eyes wide open, and Tock promptly slashes them. Maria is left blinded and outright screaming in pin as Tock’s Aura breaks, a consequence of using her Semblance. She mockingly offers Maria mercy since the whole reason that her ‘master’ wanted her dead was due to her eyes. I am going to assume that the 'master’ is Salem. Maria tosses one of her sickles at Tock and as the Faunus prepares for the killing blow, Maria uses the Gravity Dust to force the one weapon into Tock’s back. This causes Tock to meet her final fate as she is pulled towards Maria, who proceeds to behead her as the flashback comes to an end.

In present day, the group is surprised by this new information. Qrow is especially stunned, having admired the Grimm Reaper and he even based his weapon off of hers. Everyone assumed that she had died at some point despite her being a legend, but she had never given away her name or shown her face. Qrow had aspired to be as good as the Grimm Reaper… to which Maria says that hes well on his way with how much of a disappointment he’s been so far. Ouch But… yeah after last chapter, Qrow had that blow coming. Maria goes on to explain how despite surgery giving hr back her vision, after the attack she chose to go into hiding and look after herself. Since a Huntress’ duty is to protect and serve others, she feels that she is a failure and not someone that another should aspire to be like. She even points out how some are already stronger than she was, looking at Yang as she does so. But the former Huntress feels guilty for hiding away, unable to help make the world a better place for the next generation.

Ruby, however, points out that Maria CAN still help make things better now. How? She can train Ruby to use the Silver Eyes. That way, Ruby can use the power to help in the fight and therefore help others the way that Maria once aspired to. Maria doesn’t give an answer to if she’ll accept this offer, but it does look like she’s considering the younger girl’s words. But that will have to wait another day as Ruby’s Scroll goes off… an to her shock, it’s Vomit Bo.. ugh, I mean Jaune! This can only mean one thing. Yes my friends, after a train crash, a demoralizing revelation, an abandoned farm, and literally losing their wills to live, our heroes have arrived at Argus safe and sound. Once in the city, they are found by JNR, with Nora giving poor Oscar a glomp for good measure. There are hugs all around, the most emotional being between Jaune and Ruby. Jaune is clearly emotional that his friends made it back safely as Ruby assures him that she had promised, and she kept it. It’s such a beautiful moment signifying that, at least, our heroes are safe and together again. After these past few chapters, it is a VERY welcome sight.

Argus itself seems to be based off San Francisco, and it looks gorgeous. The settings are beautiful, the people are actually animated and not a still frame like with Mistral, and it really feels like a major city. It’s explained that Argus, being the man trading port between Mistral and Atlas, had help from Atlas to settle a firm establishment. SO while Atlas DOES maintain a military presence until recently, the city falls under Mistral domain and is one of the largest locations outside the main kingdom. And now that everyone’s together, there is the matter of living arrangements. As it turns out, Jaune already has this covered as we soon see a young blonde haired, blue eyed woman. This is Saphron Cotta-Arc. That’s right folks, this is one of Jaune’s long-awaited sisters. I believe that Ruby’s reaction speaks for all of us XD

When at the house, Saphron explains that she moved out of the Arc household as soon as she could as she teases her baby brother. It leads to some cute, funny banter as Jaune insists that he’s not a baby, but there IS an actual baby. Saphron’s infant son, Adrian, who pouts at his uncle’s implication. Which… OMG Jaune is an uncle… JAUNE IS AN UNCLE!!! Also Adrian is an absolute cutie patootie and I will let Weiss and Yang’s reactions speak for me. But yeah, it turns out that Jaune was inspired by Saphron setting out on her own to do the same, which she has no problems rubbing in his face. It leads to more cute banter before they are interrupted by the arrival of a young woman named Terra. And she is Saphron’s wife. Yes my friends, you read that right. Wife. IDK if they’re both lesbian or one or both is bi or whatever, but yes my friends, we have a married LGBT couple in the show at long last! I’ll go more into this in the review portion, bUT OMG YES! SO MUCH YES!!!

The lovebirds are more than happy with housing the group due to how Huntsmen and Huntresses give so much to protect people like them that they feel that it’s the least that they can do. Terra does question the use of students though, which Qrow does a.. meh job at passing off. But it’s okay, they have sandwiches! During this, Terra has to answer a call as Saphron explains that Terra works as a technician at the main radar tower. But it’s also where the military’s systems are housed, so things are buggy and poor Terra is getting the blame. Welt hat sucks. Int he meantime, the gang pan their next move. They intend to go to the military the next day and discuss getting transport to Atlas. But… well Jaune explains that they already tried… and the episode ends with the military base doors closing right into Team RWBYs faces. And no one was surprised.

Review

Guys… I can’t believe. We actually got a happy episode! Nothing bad, at least outside the flashback, happened whatsoever! The characters were… happy and laughing and cooing at cute babies! MILES AND KERRY HAVE FINALLY GRANTED US MERCY! HALELLUJAH!!!

Okay in all seriousness, this episode was great. We were in desperate need for a breather episode, and Thank God we got one. It feels kinda like Chapter 7 form last volume when RWY and JNR were catching up. But I feel like this one did a much better job since it both had some nice action, buildup for what’s coming next, and the build-up to this felt much more natural. But yeah… God IDK where to start with this one…

As I said, Argus looks absolutely stunning. It is probably the best-designed location in the series so far. And this time it felt alive and animated, unlike with Mistral where it used stills and then we spent mos to four time in a house. We actually got to explore a little bit this time, and it made the city feel all the more like… well, a city, as a result. The San Francisco vibes with the tram car and the theater were also super well done and made the city feel unique compared to previous settings. Major kudos to the art and compositing team here, they nailed it.

This was an excellent follow-up to the Brunswick Farms storyline. We get to see what Cinder is up to and set up for her and Neo’s next move. Enough to remind us that something is coming our heroes way, but it doesn’t drag or feel forced in. It presented us what we needed to know and look forward to their next move. On the good guys side, after all the Hell that they went through these past six volumes, they FINALLY got to catch a break. They made it to Argus safely, their moods have greatly improved, and they are once more focused on the task at hand. Hard to say if they feel any better about Ozpin yet, and considering we still haven’t seen Jaune man-handle Oscar, I assume that it’s gonna come up soon. But for right now, it’s just good to see our heroes happy and laughing again. Heck I got close to chocking up when Jaune and Ruby hugged and just seeing the pure relief on the paladin’s face. He’s earned it. They all have more than earned it.

The flashback, and in turn the deeper insight into Maria’s character, were also absolutely fantastic. Maria was a pure badass in her younger days and, while I wish that there was more foreshadowing (like mentioning the Grimm Reaper in passing or something), I absolutely can see why she was a legend. Once more CRWBY shows us a fast-paced, badass fight sequence and they all look so good. They’ve been striving much harder with the fights, which makes sense since it was one of the biggest complaints about V5, and it is very much appreciated. They are doing Monty proud. And Tock is such a fun one-time antagonist. Wicked design, awesome Semblance, a cocky but fun personality, her screentime was short but she made sure to own every second of it. And gotta say this, she had one Hell of a death scene!

It also served to help make Maria feel all that well-rounded of a character. I’ve loved her since the moment that she first introduced herself, and I’ve been loving her more and more with each new chapter. She’s sassy and independent, but wise and considering she stowed away on the train as all the chaos was brewing, has a noble spirit. And when you think about it, her stowing away makes sense. She feels guilty for hiding away after losing her eyes and being unable to move forward after it. She doesn’t come off as a weakling or a coward, she comes off as a sympathetic old woman who knows that she’s made missteps, and feels guilty because she failed to do her part to make things better. Hopefully she will agree to train Ruby and be the guiding light that the girl needs to master her powers and continue to help make people’s lives better. But yeah, so far Maria is the best new character in the show, and this episode truly solidified that.

But speaking of new characters, let us talk about the Cotta-Arc’s. First, I love Saphron. She’s bubbly, energetic, and super charming. The way that she teases Jaune is so silly, but you can tell that she loves her little brother and how affectionate she is. Getting to meet one of Jaune’s sisters at long last was a real treat and her and Jaune’s interactions were a major highlight for me. As for Terra, she also seems like a friendly lady, more than happy to house Huntsmen for all the good that they do for others. And Adrian I a total cutie and I still can’t believe that Jaune is a freakin uncle. I love it so much!

But of course, let us talk about the importance of these characters. They r 4our first LGBT couple in the series. We have Ilia, who I adore and she was a good first step, but now we have an actual married couple in the series. This is EXACTLY how you do representation. RT’s had a couple of examples of LGBT at this point (The Millers in Camp Camp, Agent Ohio (lesbian) and Sister (bi) in RvB, Skout in Nomad, Grimmons (RvB) in my own dreamworld) and so far they’ve done a good job. But aside form The Millers, this is the first blatant married couple that they’ve put into the show. And it was done beautifully. Saphron and Terra are portrayed as friendly young women with no stereotypes or cliches attached. They come across as regular people who are in love and just happen to both be women. Terra calls Saphron 'hon’, Saph goes to help her with groceries, they hold hands while sitting together, Saph is understanding when Terra has to answer a work call, it’s super sweet and, well… normal. And no one questions it or even addresses it when Terra comes in. They’re treated like any other couple, ad THIS is how you do proper representation. You portray your characters as people first and foremost, and then just let them be a couple. There’s no need to make a big deal out of it or put it under a spotlight. Let it be normal. Let it not be questioned. It is a VERY positive portrayal of LGBT characters and it made me cry in happiness when I watched it the first time. Thank you CRWBY. Thank you so much for this.

Final Thoughts

What more can I say? This episode was fantastic! A new setting, enjoyable new characters, a badass fight sequence, and plenty of build-up for what’s to come. But most of all, it was a positive episode. The characters got to be happy, and as such I was happy. Of course it makes me worry for what evil Miles and Kerry are going to unleash next, but hey at least they know when to finally let us breathe. This episode was very much welcomed, and I loved every second of it! Th first half of V6 has been a lot of things, but the one thing that it hasn’t been is disappointing. I eagerly await the second half for what is currently a strong contender for the best volume since V3! Great job CRWBY!
