"You gave the name alurlssrin to the bond we share. What does it mean?"

"It means love."

[musicfeedsmysoul12]

Ah haha, I had wondered where the ask I was writing had gone, I must have accidently sent it too soon...

Sorry for the double ask!

Also I'll be keeping on anon, since I am using it to appease my anxiety about thinking I'm being annoying.

(Btw, you can tell me to stop, if it gets to be too much about this AU, I just hyperfixated)

Toga's situation is one that is frequently used to explain that yes, horrible people can change, but ONLY if they WANT to change. Toga refuses to accept that her obsession with Izumi, Ochako and her beliefs on love are damaging.

Everyone is actually kind of surprised KamiJirou made it, but no one is against it, because they worked on their shit to get to where they are now.

The moment The Electric Hearts was revealed to be Kamijirou (through a future Insta post of a very cute selfie of the two annoucing their presence at the seminar), the majority of Class 1-A burst into celebration. Full stop, if there had been a confetti cannon someone would have set it off.

Jirou is crying a bit (it's of happines of course) and Kaminari is as well, because he had hoped when he heard the name, but to have it confirmed!

Aizawa's sigh was very tired.

In the Business Course corner there is one student gloating on how they knew it was worth betting on those two.

The Trio start working so hard to make that a reality, that everyone is surprised they haven't colapsed. Little do they know a misture of Higher Brain Processing (Tenya due to Engine), Memorization (Momo thanks to Creation) and Pure Unfiltered Genius (Izumi) are a fantastic combo when creating schedules.

Somewhere, Nedzu is cackling.

All good and you're not annoying! I'm enjoying the asks- I actually feel like I have the mental ability to write nowadays which is lovely.

Toga is in fact held up as a prime example of this. She is aware she's in the wrong, but she doesn't care because to her this is what you do. Very much that kinda person. Kendo though ends up becoming an example of someone who needs a good hard lesson first which in her case was removal from the hero course for a year until she got her head on straight. And therapy. So much therapy.

KamiJirou are so happy to see that piece of the future and they promise to make it there. Therapy, clear communication and more are their jam after that. They make it work and become another example.

The Trio run all their programs and groups, promoting their values. Even when hate is thrown their way or in one memorable instance someone tries to seduce one of them to get them to cheat on their partners they stand strong as a team.

And when they start having kids… well bullying is their next target.

Nezu has kidnapped the trio to be their mentor because they are geniuses and he will enable them to rise ever higher! He may not wish to rule the world but he’ll help them conquer it!

Hi, I've got a couple questions about your magic AU for witch from mercury! How would the difference between pilots (mages) and non-pilot characters (like Nika being a mechanic) work? And how do witches duels function at Asticasia and outside of it? I absolutely love the world building you put into this AU, and I want to know more about how it works in conjunction with some of the other Gundam elements~

similarly to how it works with mobile suits, i thought that mechanics like nika would mainly work on maintaining/customizing brooms. despite being primarily driven by magic, there's still a lot of engineering that goes into them-- ensuring that they work properly in conjunction with spells, are light enough to be easily maneuverable, et cetera. in general in this au, there's a lot of intersection between magic and technology, so mechanics tend to need to have detailed knowledge of both and how they interact with one another.

i think that when brooms are used in like. actual warfare, the aim is to hit the pilot with intent to kill. but at asticassia, similarly to how mobile suits in canon have their weapons' output limited in duels, the power of spells is VERY heavily capped, probably enforced by an enchantment so that it's impossible to cheat. it's something like. trying to land a hit on the pilot with a non-damaging spell, one that probably doesn't even issue any knockback. sort of like witchy laser tag

thank you btw im rlly glad you like it!!

[luxrayz64]

list of gripes i have with tears of the kingdom and reasons why I think it's not goty material

has no respect for my time. great fairies and hestu are the most blatant example of what I mean. if sonic frontiers could patch out this exact issue (adding an upgrade all at once button) there's no reason why a whole 5 years and a sequel later I still have to watch hestu shake his ass at me 7 times in a row instead of just handing him every korok seed at once. yes there's a skip button. no that's not good enough

filler content. awesome big map you've got there. and it's all just copy pasted shrines and koroks? wow this seems like a good use of my time (<- lie)

racism. I don't have the energy to elaborate im just bitching but like (waves at ganondorf)

imperialism. rauru is a coloniser and I hate that the story expects you to align yourself with him and I hate that none of the other leaders/sages are on the same level as himband I hate that he made ganondorf bow to him too.

misogyny. they damselled zelda again. complete lack of care for her character. she doesn't even get to be interesting in this one because the memories are too focused on (poorly) establishing the ancient conflict and rauru.

lack of consequences. link gets his normal arm back even though we were told at the beginning it was unsalvagable. zelda gets turned human and suffers no loss of memories or self she's just fine. why couldn't we do this earlier if all we needed was for mr and mrs imperialism ghosts to show up.

lack of any linearity. don't raise your eyebrows at me, I found the spirit temple way too early because it wasn't gated off and when I could finally do the kakariko quest that is supposed to lead to it I got pissed the fuck off because I'd already completed the quest and it was useless to me. why is it possible for me to reach that quests conclusion without the start? it's like hanging a fruit over my head and when I finally get to eat it it's just foam. gating off parts of your game until requirements are met isn't the fucking devil, it's basic game design.

storytelling in general. the lack of an active plot makes the story feel lacklustre. this game is better at it than botw was at least but the fact that we get to see so little of the main antagonist (because the past conflict, our main source of information/characterisation is seen through zeldas extremely limited pov) sucks. I like it when ganondorf gets to be a person actually. also watching the same cutscenes at the end of every fucking dungeon come on

dungeon design. we were promised a return to proper dungeons and we got Not That. better than the divine beasts for sure, but still ass. short, easy to navigate/cheat in, and unfulfilling. the thunder temple felt the most like a real dungeon, and it ended way too soon. shrines also suck btw

shrines also suck btw. I hate having these singular puzzles that I have to complete in order to get hearts. they break up the flow of gameplay and feel like a chore. id much rather just find fucking pieces of heart/stamina things. I'd rather just have real dungeons instead of breaking them up like this. why are there MORE than there were in botw

the way the gerudo treat you. misogyny AND racism. it feels uncomfortable the way you're treated by them, even though everyone here knows you're their saviour. gender essentialism is a fucking nightmare and I like to not have to deal with it in my games, thanks.

the game doesn't know what genre it is. it wants to be an open world/sandbox with the emphasis on ultrahand and building contraptions. it also wants to be an adventure rpg with puzzle solving and strong story focus. personally im not a fan of sandboxes - ultrahand did absolutely nothing for me when I wasn't being forced to use it. you can't have your cake and eat it too - the physics engine at play here is jaw dropping, don't get me wrong, but I bought zelda, not fucking gmod

it's too big. there's nothing in it. everything is copy pasted. it was fun to explore the first time around, but now I've seen everything I have no reason to visit it again. the depths and sky islands promised more, but end up just being more of the same.

sages being mapped to A and also forcing you to run up to npcs to use them. don't do that. why did you do that? why did you think this was appropriate. this complete mishandling of the sage abilities pisses me off the more I think about it. it shouldn't have gotten past testing. it's frustrating and I expect better fucking controller management from nintendo. jesus christ. you had 5 years and that was what you came up with?

5 years down the line, they did not fix any of the problems botw had. some things were handled a little better, some things were handled worse. nothing was fixed. if the next game is in the same map again, I'm skipping it I don't fucking care. if it's not, they'd better lose the fat - I don't want to have to wait 7 years for every game.

i can and happily will elaborate more on any of these points. story especially, all my gripes with the story and its presentation can't be boiled down to dot points. im tired and feel like bitching about how much this game frustrated me so it's dot points. I probably forgot something or another that pisses me off about it. I am probably biased, and I am definitely bitter. this game was disappointing, and the disappointment makes me frustrated with it. pikmin 4 sweep

Rewatching The Apple be like

finally! I took a break of about a year but I'm back!

I feel like I'm always saying this but how many people, especially high ranking people does it take for them to go on a mission? because of "strange sensor readings"??

I forgot how hot Bones is, fuck (<- this is also Jim's and Spock's internal monologue whenever they see him, btw)

"Husbandry would be quite efficacious" Spock I had to google that word before I was sure but I think you just proposed

Ah, the garden of Eden was just outside Moscow scene, we've all seen it

So he just used kilometres which I am happy about but before they were talking about the planet having an average of 76° which must mean Fahrenheit. I am confusion

killer flowers over here lol

Scotty fishing for shore leave <3 love him

Pavel using this situation to flirt as if he did't just see a colleague die like two metres in front of him

no matter how often I rewatch it, the explosive rock scene is one of the funniest things ever to me

Spock diving in front of a deadly plant for his boyfriends is the best thing ever to me, sorry not sorry <3<3<3<3<3<3

Oh wow, the transporters don't work, that's something I've never seen before in my life.

Spock calling the hypospray "potion" <3

Jim is so fucking right every time someone jumps in front of someone they could just fucking yell for them to get out of the way. This way it's much more romantic tho so...

These lighting bolts are so... realistic

Three redshirts down, and one of their dads apparently helped Jim get into the academy? But why did the redshirt not get a better job than redshirt if his dad apparently had some sort of influence?

ah, the survivor's guilt mixed with the guilt of being in charge... getting real Hans Kammerlander vibes rn... (google his name and the Manaslu if you don't know what I mean)

"what do you want, Violins?" will now be my answer every time someone comments on my tone of voice

ohhhhh, this was the planet of the Aryans! (not sure if my being German makes it more or less ok for me to say that, but there isn't another word I know for blonde ppl with blue eyes who are conventionally attractive)

Spock just touched this man's chin. With his hand. Is that cheating?

"If you don't get those Warp engine's working you're fired" mate if he doesn't fix them he'll literally die. WHat are you, Hermione?

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more

"It makes me uncomfortable" bitch I bet, those things look scratchy as fuck

I like how half of them immediately got rid of these flower things <3 literally me

you tell him Spock! Humans literally are the minority!!!

"stawp fighting!!!! They've got the Enterprise!!!!" Jim I hear you but philosophical arguments are literally my only life source

sex. the word you're looking for is sex.

goddamnit they are all so uncomfortable talking about one of the most natural things in the world, idk if I should be amused or sad for them

awwwww, she calls him Pav!!! they are actually pretty cute

i feel gross watching the natives kiss and idk why

how to kill someone 101

oh really Spock. you telling me James Tiddies out Kirk wants to ignore the prime directive? wow. what a shocker. I am shocked.

Bones stepped on the belt of his tricoder when getting up and for some reason this is endearing to me

This is the third time Spock injured himself this episode and yet he is still capable of more sass than any squatch I know (get it? sasquatch. haha.

Damn, Martha can fight! Oh, and the last redshirt has died

awww hell nah, Scotty lost his job :(

awww hell yea, Scotty got his job back :)

They should give them actual sex ed wtf

the bickering at the end is always my favourite thing <3<3<3<3<3<3 10/10 will watch again (and again and again and again)

[snickerdoodlles]

was rewatching bb (as one does) and the scene in the cafeteria when Korn winks at wai... If u look closely i think he's actually winking at pran,, responding to prans nod. also, the angle also makes it seem like it. this ask has no point i just got excited and u have your kornpran friendship agenda so yeah...they're besties who tease wai and pat together. thank u for your service btw. i absolutely love all your bb fics...💗💗💗💗💗

you know when someone waves at you and you wave back, only to realize the person was actually waving at the person behind you? that’s korn winking at wai or pat. it’s never actually for them, it’s a signal to his bestie pran standing behind them that the day’s prank is a-go

the kornpran agenda is ALWAYS import, so thank u for thinking of me during your rewatch 🥺💕 and thank you for you’re sweet words ajkfdkjdf, here’s a sneak peek at the first ~600 words or so of my next kornpran friendship WIP ❤❤ (*see full snippet under the read more)

):)  (:(

Korn’s going to pass all his classes thanks to his new best friend.

Pran is the best study buddy. Sure, he has negative interest in learning engineering concepts, but he lets Korn rant when he’s stuck. (“Really?” “Honestly, I’m so used to Wai bitching as we work that it’s the perfect white noise to me now.” “I feel unloved.” “What can I say? I thrive when you suffer.”) It’s so much better than studying with Pat or Mo--Korn actually gets a chance to figure shit out, instead of one of the geniuses just doing his homework with a vague Like this, see?

So yeah, reserving a room with Pran? Secret to academic success right here. Korn’s currently spending today’s study date just whining about his stupid calculus professor, but he’s doing it with his head pillowed on his textbook and he’s probably absorbing the information via osmosis or something.

“No cheat sheets unless they’re permanent tattoos,” Korn mimics in his whiniest voice. “Asshole. Professor Worapong says he’ll give us all the equations we need, but in the midterm he only gave us the general equation, which we’d spent a week deriving all our other equations from at the start of the term. Like what the fuck? We only have two hours to do an exam, does he want to test us on how well we actually apply the knowledge or just our powers of derivation? Ugh.”

Pram hums and taps the back of his pen against the table thoughtfully. Korn twists so that he can see Pran better; he doesn’t usually respond to Korn’s whining.

“You said he allows cheat sheets?”

Korn frowns. “Only if they’re tattoos,” he reminds. “If you want to cheat here, you should be ready to cheat in life. He thinks he’s so funny.”

The corners of Pran’s lips twitch. “I meant, he put that in his syllabus?”

“Yes?” Korn wrinkles his nose. “Bolded and fourteen sized font and everything.”

Pran carefully doesn’t look at Korn. “Did you know that if you only ink the surface of your skin, a permanent tattoo will eventually fade and drain away?”

Korn stares at Pran. “What.”

Pran shrugs, still avoiding Korn’s incredulous stare. “You’d have it for a few months. Maybe up to half a year? But…temporary permanent tattoo.”

Korn straightens. He hasn’t blinked once this past minute.

“Amazing,” he breathes out with a wide smile, and Pran blushes. Awww. Then Korn frowns. “Do artists do temporary stuff like that? How much would it even cost?” Korn sticks his tongue out at the thought. “Maybe I should just do it myself…”

Pran snorts. “Absolutely don’t do that, your handwriting is atrocious. See if you can get a tattoo gun and we can do it at my place this weekend.”

Korn takes a second to process that. “You know how to give someone a tattoo?”

“I’ve done it a few times,” Pran says modestly.

“A- A few times? How? When?!”

Pran scoops up his markers. “I have to get to class.”

“I memorized your schedule, no you don’t.”

Pran ignores him. “My place, Saturday, after rugby practice. Bring lunch.”

“Pran.”

Pran makes a hasty retreat. “Text me if you can’t source a gun. Bye.”

“Pran.”

But he’s already gone and down the hall, Korn’s questions trailing behind him. Korn gets the feeling that something sudden and mysterious is going to pop up during tomorrow’s study session too, which means that if Korn wants to know more about Pran’s shady past, he’s going to have to either go through Pat or show up Saturday with hopes of the tattoo drawing out more information.

“Well played, Pran,” Korn murmurs as he pulls out his phone and pulls up machine listings, “Well played.”

[gothamstodd]

hi there love!🥺 I was wondering if I could request a jason todd x reader, perhaps a little enemies-to-lovers trope with some angst resulting in an uber fluffy n sweet love confession(‘: thank you so so much!! have a lovely day!

ah!! thank you! I gotchu ;;;)

-

“Bet you can’t beat me back to the cave, Hood.” You grinned, glancing over at Jason with a grin. He looked back at you from beneath his domino, the helmet tucked under his arm. He was panting, sweat shining on his brow from the fight the two of you had just won.

“You’re on.” He dropped the cigarette he’d only just lit, crushing it beneath the twisting toe of his boot.

“Ugh.” You swung your leg over your bike, “That is such a turn off.” You said, glancing at the crushed cigarette on the wet pavement, disgust wrinkling your brow.

“Luckily, you’re one of the only people in Gotham outside of my family that I don’t want to fuck.” He replied, putting his helmet back on.

You rolled your eyes, “You’re such an asshole.” You scoffed, revving your engine impatiently. 

“You like it.” He sang, finally mounting his motorcycle.

“Ready,” You said together, the action practiced and familiar, “Set,”

The wheels of Jason’s bike screamed on the pavement and drowned out your betrayed yell, “Hey!”

You set off after him. “That’s cheating, Red.” You growled into the comm.

“You didn’t see it coming?” He asked, laughter in his voice. “I thought you were supposed to be a ‘great detective’ just like the rest of these assholes.”

You took a sharp turn off the road, the sound of your engine echoing on the walls of the alleyway you’d entered and roaring in your ears. A few more turns and you were pulling back onto the mainanz road, just in time to cut Jason off.

“Hey!” He yelled, echoing the inflection you’d had only minutes ago, “Shortcuts are against the rules!”

“C’mon.” You grinned, weaving around a minivan, “You didn’t see that coming?”

“Oh,” He groaned, “Fuck you.”

“Could we keep the banter to a minimum, you two?” Dick’s voice crackled to life on the comms, he was manning the computer while Alfred and Barbara were busy, “It’s worse than watching you suck face.”

Jason made a gagging sound, “They wish.”

“Please.” You sneered, “Get over yourself.”

“Never-” The end of Jason’s response was cut off by a bout of static and a strong ringing in your ear.

“Hood?” You spoke almost at the same time as Dick, panic in your voice.

Grunts and crashes greeted you on the other side.

“Red Hood, report.” You spat, eyeing the road carefully before taking a hard u-turn around a median. 

Relief filled your gut when his voice pulled past the static, “Busy- argh!” It was quickly pulled away by the yell of pain that hit your ear. You searched both sides of the road for Jason, but there was no sign of shining red or battered brown leather.

“Jason?” He asked, almost softly. There was no response. You pulled of the road and brought your bike to a stop. “Wing, can you track his comm?”

“Working on it.” He replied, the sound of a keyboard clacking softly following his nervous words. “Okay, take the next left, he’s about a block down.” You set off again, speeding toward the the intersection. “Need me to call in back up?”

“I don’t know yet.” You answered, anxiety making your breath shake. “Give me just a minute.” 

Turning onto the street Dick had described, you immediately caught sight of it, Jason’s motorcycle on it’s side, an armored truck turned to block the road, and cars stopped on either side.

“Yeah.” You said into your comm. On top of the truck stood Two Face, a massive gun in his arm and henchmen scattered around the clearing. “We need back up.”

You described the scene in front of you to Dick, still unnoticed by Two Face and his crew. Finally, your eyes landed on Jason, laying prone on top of the truck in front of Two Face, the villain’s shining dress-shoe pressing down on his chest. 

All thought of strategy and planning flew out the window and you found yourself throwing a shuriken hard at the man’s good ear.

He ducked away as the large cut began oozing blood. “You bats are like cockroaches.” He growled, “When you see one, there’s bound to be a flock.” He aimed his gun at you but you were already diving for cover behind the corner of a building. A spray of bullets followed your leap to safety, tearing apart the concrete at your feet. 

“Hopefully.” You murmured to yourself, letting a few more shurikens loose around the corner. Two-Face’s shrieks of pain echoed on the Gotham sky scrapers. You snuck around the building and behind a henchman on the other side, catching him by surprise and quickly disarming him before knocking him to the ground.

“One down, six to go.” You said into your comm.

“Robin, Spoiler and I are about one minute away.” Tim’s voice reached your ear.

“They’re heavily armed.” You warned, though ease began to slip back into you at Tim’s assurance.

There was a pained grunt from the other side of the road, “Two down.” Stephanie chirped.

“You’re fast, Spoiler.” You smiled, coming up behind another gunman.

“You know me.” You could practically hear the smirk in her voice, along with more crashes and grunts, signaling the arrival of Tim and Damian.

Their affirmations that the remaining four gunmen were on their way to unconsciousness gave you the confidence to move out into the open. “Two Face is mine this time.” You snarled, beginning to climb up the back of the truck.

“Actually, pretty sure he’s mine.” When you poked your head over the top, you found Jason standing there instead of Two-Face, their roles reversed with the rogue at his feet.

“You’re okay.” You hefted a relieved sigh, pushing yourself on top of the truck. “You scared me, asshole.”

“So you do care.” He teased, you could tell he was grinning beneath the hood.

“Don’t get used to it.” You exhaled, cheeks heating up in embarrassment.

“I won’t- ungh.” Hardly a moment passed and he’d fallen to his knees, gloved hand pressing into his side.

You rushed forward, kneeling at his side. “Jason!” Blood was rushing through you again with the same worry that had filled you when static had first hit your ear from his line, pumping erratically through your veins.

You shoved the helmet from his head, pressing two fingers to his neck in search of a pulse. “What’s wrong? Where are you hurt?” You demanded.

He lifted his hands from his side to reveal blood drooling sluggishly over his body. “It’s just a graze.” He answered weakly.

He groaned when you pressed your hands to it, shoving down on the injury with harsh determination. “When did this happen?”

“I wanted to take a short cut.” He chuckled, stomach jumping under your hands with each weakening laugh. “Got a little off track.”

You shook with some raging concoction of emotions; anger, worry, nerves. “You asshole.” You shook your head.

Tim was at your side in a second, stony faced as he helped move Jason down to Damian and Steph’s waiting arms. Together you maneuvered him into the back of the bat mobile, trying to ignore the whimpers of pain that fell over his lips at the sensation of being jostled. Within moments, Tim was speeding down the streets and you were leaning over Jason, still pressing your hands into his wound.

“Hey.” He caught your attention with the gentle word, its tone out of character, soft.

“What?” You asked, brow furrowed as you met his eyes.

He flushed, trying to push away the urge to look away and keep his mouth shut. “Before I... uh, kick it-”

“You’re not going to ‘kick it’.” You pressed, scanning his face desperately. “We’re on our way to Leslie’s, you’re going to be fine.”

He shook his head, ignoring your words, “I should tell you,” 

“Now’s not the time to tease, Jason.”  You squeezed your eyes shut for a moment, feeling tears pricking at them and hating the sensation.

You felt his gloved fingers around your wrist, slick with blood as he gripped onto you. “No, I’m serious.” He grunted, staring hard into your eyes. He paused for a moment, pulling a trembling breath through his teeth, “I like you.”

You wanted to lift your hand to hit him, “Jason, I know you never actually hated me,” You sighed, “It’s just banter. You are such an ass-”

He interrupted you, sitting up in a feat of determined strength to press his lips desperately to yours. You kissed him back without even a moment’s hesitation, the feeling of his lips on yours throwing waves of electricity down your skin, a childish giddiness filling up your gut.

“Oh.” Your cheeks flushed as he fell back into the seat beneath him, panting softly with a lopsided grin on his face.

“Yeah.” He replied wearily and his eyes flicked shut.

-

He’s fine btw. I just didn’t know how to write that part lol. I hope you liked it!

My Cyberpunk 2077 review

I finished the game last night and I have Feelings™ about it, so here goes my review. While the heavy spoilers (ending related) will be hidden under Keep Reading, I might mention some minor ones here and there, so read at your own risk.

Let’s get the Big Thing out of the way first: yes, the game is buggy af. The good news is most of them are visual bugs, so while annoying, they don’t really matter gameplay wise. But I did have to reload an earlier save file two times to get rid of gamebreaking bugs, both messing with main story quests. It was frustrating. And nevermind the times my car got destroyed because the game suddenly realized there were two cars occupying the same space. However I did manage to finish the game and make the choices I wanted, so it wasn’t that bad either.

My biggest complain is the blantant transphobia shown in the character creator. I know Claire exists and she’s awesome and I love her, but the cc options are just not inclusive enough. What’s the point of having them if you can’t use them anyway? Linking V’s pronouns to voice types makes absolutely no sense. And not being able to remove breasts from the female body type (or put them in the male body type) rubs me the wrong way as well, though I understand that it would involve a lot more animation work. Lastly, having body type-dependant hair styles is just plain inexcusable when the devs took the time to design genitals that are just not shown past the character creator (unless V walks around naked, I suppose). So, why bother having all these ✨choices✨ when the player can’t get a good, accurate customization anyway?

And it gets worse if we talk about romances. Real people have specific tastes and that’s completely understandable, but real life has a lot more than 4 choices in total. More importantly, bisexual people are a thing? There should have been at least one female and one male bisexual romance options in game. So to make it al worse, the constraint in gay romance options is... awful. Why have 3 types of gender-related customization if you can’t use them if you want to romance someone? I’m a cishet female who plays as a cishet female first if given the option, but I’m still bothered for the queer community (which I’m still part of btw, since I’m in the ace spectrum). It feels like being trans is more of a fetish in Night City than a real trait.

Speaking of romances, I played River’s and I found it... bit of a lackluster. I don’t find him physically attractive (shaved head and no beard are not my thing) but his voice was pretty nice and I liked his personality despite being a cop. But the main downside was the way the game treats his romance. I knew I wasn’t going to get a BioWare-style romance, but V’s relationship with River was like a sidenote and once he’s romanced, there’s just no way to interact with him again. That perhaps is the same for the other romances but there’s no replayability, in a sense that there’s no way to talk to/kiss him again or replay the sex scene, for instance. It bothered me that the game forces V to say that “she’s too busy” and apologize to her boyfriend all the time, because *I* would’ve made time to visit if there was ingame acknowledgement of it. The worst bit is that I feel like River’s romance is the least polished of them all, because Panam and Judy play important roles in main quests and Kerry is pivotal to Johnny’s sidequests, while River is... just there (also more further on, regarding the ending). So the fact that he’s like the forgotten child in the romance section while being the only cishet female option is heartbreaking.

The silverlining is that, at least, the mistreated community was het females instead of gay females. Although, this is just another example of game devs thinking about male players first.

Now the good part: what I liked

The cars. I’m not a car enthusiast, I don’t enjoy driving in real life and I’m a terrible driver in games, but I fucking loved the cars in CP2077. The Caliburn was like my game baby, I had so much fun driving around and hearing the different engines for each car, and the differences in driving... it was awesome. I got and bought *all* the available cars for the sake of it, just because I liked them so much.

The story. I love games that get me invested and this one was definitely one of those. Falling for Jackie when I knew he was not gonna be around for long was an expected, but still perfectly excecuted punch to the gut. And Johnny’s guidance and company was something I was hyped about, but still played out even better than I though it would. So to my next point, Keanu Reeves. I was thrilled to play a game with Keanu in it and it blew my mind. Those reviews that pinpoint Keanu’s acting as the weak link in the game are fucking wrong, how else you expect to see (and hear) an angry, resentful man permanently stuck in time? Even worse, when he knows the people he hated the most managed to kill him? I wasn’t happy when I learned Johnny was not a romance option but after meeting him, I’m glad that’s the case. He’s the perfect antihero-turned-best-friend for V, if you can stand him.

Stealth and hacking. Most of the time I choose the option to play stealthy and this time it wasn’t just that, it was the option to use futuristic technology at the same time. I LOVED it. Quickhacking enemies instead of shooting them is so much fun. Enemy detection is a bit wonky at times but still, I enjoyed it much better than if it had been a plain shooter. And those guns with homing shots are so cool that I wanted to play them over sniper rifles, my usual go tos.

The characters. I got invested in V’s relationships, even if the romantic aspect wasn’t as great as it could’ve been. Friendship with Kerry and Panam, clousure for Judy and Rogue, mourning Jackie, being part of River’s family, so many the fixers in existance... and Johnny, my bff Johnny. Even Alt, with her somewhat little role, was great. I was promised a compelling story and deep characters, and I did get both.

The soundtrack. Overall it’s pretty great, but my favorite songs are those related to Samurai. And it’s not even because of my love for Johnny, I really do enjoy them for their musical content. Unironically my all time favorite is Johnny’s as well, Never Fade Away. I won’t exit a car or open the menu when that song is playing.

The easter eggs. From GlaDOS and Silence of the Lambs in the Delamain quests to the Matix-esque pills of the main storyline, to Hideo Kojima and the BB in a lab, “Harvest like a Reaper” and the many “You’re breathtaking!” references (Kerry’s take was my favorite), the game presents A LOT of pop culture nods and I’m here for it. Having real life content creators around for several levels of cameos was a nice touch as well.

So without mentioning the heavy spoilers (aka ending), in my opinion, Cyberpunk 2077 deserves a 9/10. Bugs are fixable and the story and characters carry the game on it’s own because they’re just too good. The main story is kinda short and I believe Johnny’s sidequests should be part of the main story, but I get why they are not mandatory if you want to roleplay a full on dislike towards the rockerboy. But still, there are some things related to gender and romance that are complete misfires. I hope that some of those will be fixed via patches (the character creator bits), but the lack of more romance options or at least bisexual NPCs obviously won’t be fixed and that’s what keeps CP2077 away from a perfect score in my book.

Now, regarding the endings:

The one thing that truly bothered me was that the Rogue one had no real goodbyes for V. She goes into a suicide mission in space and everyone’s post-credit messages complain she just disappeared without a trace? I get she’s dying and all, but, for fuck’s sake leave a message explaining it if you cared so much about them. The game *makes* you care about the characters but doesn’t give you an option to honor that love at the end.

Also, again, romances. I played both Rogue and Panam’s endings so I know there’s no way to have a happy ending with River, which is bittersweet and probably for the best that it happens with him since his romance seems to be the least engaging, but again that makes me feel cheated. Not that they parted ways in the Nomad ending (that was sad, but sad endings are not bad), but that there is no happy-ish ending romance wise for a cishet female. People who romanced Panam obviously stay together with her and those who romanced Judy do too from what I’ve read (and no idea about Kerry’s romance), but not getting that option if you choose to be female and go for a het romance takes away from the game. Sadly. Also my last interaction with River in Rogue’s ending was fucking terrible, I liked how poetic that ending was for Rogue and Johnny until I got to the rest of my V’s life.

(But I still headcanon that River eventually joined V with the Aldecaldos in my canon ending, aka the Nomads’, despite what he said. Since his post-credit message implies he might visit her and stuff.)

As for the rest of the ending... CP2077 clearly states that life isn’t happy and that there’re no happy endings for people who live in NC, so I like that no ending is completely happy since you are bound to die anyway, but. But. It’s somewhat disheartening that the overall arc can be resumed to “all that you did served for nothing, you’re still dying so your efforts were absolutely useless.” I really don’t see how to improve it without defaulting to a happy, sunshine-esque ending that fixes everything, so I don’t know. It still wasn’t exactly what I wanted to hear at the end, so... I liked it but didn’t, at the same time. Ha.

And lastly, I hoped for endgame playability and there is none, you have to revert to an earlier save to keep playing. I get why it wasn’t done, to give a definitive end to V’s story in NC, but anyway. What I really liked about this choice was that no matter the ending, V becomes no one again. They will be forgotten by most people after a while either because they leave with the nomads or because they ‘disappear’, aka die in a blaze of glory in that casino in space. Or well, sell their soul to Arasaka or commit suicide on the rooftop.

So overall, I loved this game and critics are somewhat too harsh. But I agree there are some terrible design choices and a long way of bugfixing to get to the specific masterpiece that we were hoping for.

I would love a descriptor/excerpt from Dabo Boy Julian (btw this is macneiceisms this is just my main blog)

Thanks for asking! :) I’ve got about 3.5 chapters done out of 5, so hopefully it will be ready for reading soonish.

In my fic Why Wait, a couple folks in the comments mentioned Julian in the dabo boy outfit as something that stood out to them, so I started to think about what else I could do with the idea. This is an Occupation-era AU. Julian is on the run after being exposed as genetically engineered. Trying to stay as far away from Federation space as he can, he ends up on Terok Nor, where he gets a job working at Quark’s. It’s also my first attempt at using Quark as a POV character! (Only for the first chapter. After that it’s firmly back to what I know.)

This is an excerpt from the beginning:

Quark was not having a good day. (Good, of course, being synonymous with lucrative.) One of Dukat’s bosses had arrived on the station, and while normally special guests were good for business, this one seemed to be putting everyone in a bad mood. It would be one thing if it was the drink-away-your-sorrows kind of bad mood (Quark specialized in those), but no, it had to be an avoid-the-bar kind of bad mood. The worst kind.

All in all, the situation was unprofitable enough without this scrawny human making a mess of things. Since when did humans come out to Terok Nor, anyways? Quark could have sworn that the Federation and the Cardassians were still at war. (The Cardassian side of things, he watched observantly. War- and peace- were good for business, after all. The Federation side of things he didn’t bother to keep track of. No currency, no use.)

“I did not cheat,” the human was insisting, as if that made a difference. (If you could get out of trouble just by saying I didn’t do it, Quark would never have to deal with Odo again.)

“Sure you didn’t. What is it, a gravimetric scanner?” He looked up at the human scathingly. That was another affront; the human was too damn tall. (Rule of Acquisition #53- never trust anybody taller than you.)

“No, I’m just very good at the game.”

Quark leaned across the bar.

“No one is that good at dabo. Now, either agree to leave the latinum or I’ll have to call security.”

Quark had a strict anti-security policy most of the time, but he was not above using Odo as an enforcer if his latinum was endangered.

“I won it fairly,” the human argued.

Impossible. If Quark had wanted a game people could win fairly, he would have put in dom-jot tables.

I love your writing so much. It brings me so much joy. I recently re-read your Omega!tony fanfic and I fell in love again. do you plan to continue? Maybe where you left of on part 3? I don’t want to pressure you to write, but your writing gives me life. College is huge pain in my ass and your writing just brings me back to life. BTW quick question, are you familiar with Detroit become human. Because it is amazing and I highly recommend.

Hi babe <3

I have not watched Detroit become Human, but I will try to check it out after Znation on Netflix lol.

Ah, you have always been so wonderfully supportive of the AOB stuff, and I appreciate you. I’ll be totally honest here when I say I have a Google Doc of like WIPs that I come back to once and a while, and crazily enough, the Marvel AOB thing is something I’d started at some point at least, so I have a bit of content. 

I’m going to throw down a cut and put what I’ve got down there so you can check it out if you want. I mean, it’s not too much, but better than nothing? Lol maybe I’ll throw down what I’ve got of the Sentinel / Guide thing next ;)

There may have been things. Like this one first, this one second, and this one third. They’re from a bit ago, so probably more angst than you’ll see here, but I do love writing about WinterIronShield so there’s that. But, I do have a bit of an accent kink when it comes to the Brooklyn Boys, like how Steve kind of slips into it when he’s trying to talk Bucky down or soothe Tony’s anxieties. I just ah, well, yeahhhh.

***

Tony is writhing under that mouth, back arching helplessly. His inner Omega, now that he knows Jim and Steve wanted him before the truth ever came out, is right on board the care for the Alpha you’re been smitten with train. 

Because it’s safe. It’s safe to finally, finally give in.

And Tony Stark never does anything half-way.

He faintly hears Steve make a choked noise when he wraps his legs around Jim’s waist and wiggles his wrists in the unforgiving metal hand pinning them to the bed.

He moans in Jim’s mouth and pushes back a little.

“A-Alpha,” is something he never thought he’d hear himself say again, not after everything, not after Obie pulled him out of Ty’s grip the first time (and again the second).  But when Jim’s eyes dilate, when he purrs low, chest vibrating against Tony’s, the engineer feels the long trapped Omega deep in his belly start to unwind, the instincts take on a more powerful grip. 

It’s easier to leans up gingerly to nose and nuzzle, fingers straining to rub at the metal wrist, knowing where the pressure sensors are, where Jim can feel it.

“So pretty,” and those winter grey eyes focus on his red mouth, “gonna take care a’ ya, sweet little ‘Mega.”

Tony tightens his thighs, hitches his hips so he rubs against Jim’s big Alpha cock, “I want– Alpha, I want–”

But he gasps when James Barnes meets his thrusts, helps work them both up to panting. 

“Tell Alpha, Baby. Whadda ya need?”

And Tony’s eyes slide over to Steve, the other Alpha biting his bottom lip while he watches them together, takes in their scents, the sweetness of Tony now that the scent blockers are gone, Bucky’s musk even thicker with arousal. 

They smell like heaven.

(They smell like his.)

“Steve, let me...Fuck yes, like that…” his hips twitch and jerk, “let me...let me–”

The Captain has to breathe through his mouth, try to keep them all somewhat sane here, make sure it isn’t just instincts and pheromones, needs to make sure Tony won’t regret this later, won’t run later–

(and God, Steve can just image if he lets them service him during his Heat, has to bite down on his lip hard enough to hurt, to clench his fists to keep from reaching out just by thinking of Tony wet and open for them, moaning and screaming for them, coming on their knots over and over until he can’t even move and has to let them take care of him…)

“Anything you want, Tony,” Steve tries to make it gentle, but his tone has already dropped, has the edges of a growl, “tell Bucky what you need.”

The metal hand unlocks, freeing Tony’s wrist, and the mechanic can grip the Alpha’s forearms with trembling hands since he’s already shaky with the surge of arousal, of adrenaline, of instincts long, long denied.

“Don’t–don’t bite me, don’t mate me, but I...I–”

The bitter edge to his scent, the fear of being mated against his will is enough for Jim to unceremoniously flop down on him, pin him, and nuzzle against his throat, to lick over his pulse without teeth. The nail in Tony’s coffin is when Jim moves just enough to nuzzle against his jaw and lick.

It’s a submissive move, Jim trying to ease his fear, trying to show him they won’t hurt him, won’t do something so heinous as to try and mark an unwilling Omega.

“Shhh, shhh. None a’ that. Ain’t gonna do that ta ya, Tones. Never gonna do that.”

It might be this, the way Jim’s scent gets calmer, muskier, deeper, that makes Tony’s body start warming up, getting slick, opening up to be taken, riding the instincts he’s been suppressing for so long. And he revels in it a little, shifting his hips while he stares up at Jim’s face looming over him, those winter grey eyes serious and sincere, just like when he’s settled in a perch, at peace every time he fires a weapon in the name of the Avengers.

It’s the same look when Tony’s been hurt and tries to hide away in the lab, the look when Wanda’s eyes are glazed over with old pain, and Clint gets too twitchy, too quiet. It’s the look when Steve shivers even in summer or Bruce has to back away a step, an automatic hand out to stop anyone from coming closer.

It’s not Rut or Alpha. It’s all Mother-Hen James Barnes.

And when he sees it, Tony wants too badly to trust, wants too badly to have this with an Alpha he cares about (or more, but this isn’t the time or place for all of that), an Alpha he’s wanted and denied himself over and over.

The residual fear from earlier, the panic at his long-kept secret coming out fades a little when the proof is right here on top of him, more evidence next to him sneaking a hand over the blankets to weave their fingers together.

“We won’t let that happen, Tony. I swear,” and Steve’s eyes are just as serious, squeezing Tony’s hand gently. “You don’t have to do this. It’s okay if you don’t want this, you understand that right?”

Jim leans up a little to nuzzle their faces together, “s’ good ta us, Doll. Ain’t gonna hurt ‘cha. Ain’t gonna do nothin’ ya don’t want.”

“Are you going to let me up if I panic, James? Would you let me walk out of this room right now?” It’s a terrifying thing to ask, something Tiberius would have punished him for, would have fastened his wrists and ankles with restraints, would have kept him tied to the bed for days just to make a fucking point.

Gently, Bucky Barnes rises up slowly, shaggy hair in front of his eyes, making him look like a predator backing off the hunt. He doesn’t move any further back, doesn’t get up from between Tony’s thighs, doesn’t even look away from the bare span of chest, or the curve of Tony’s cock pressing against his zipper, making both Alphas’ mouths water.

“That’s...unexpected. Nice,” the engineer babbles a little to soothe himself, “good to know that’s a possibility. But it’s not what I want–”

“Plain English for us, sweetheart,” Steve slide only close enough to press Tony’s wrist to his mouth, to roll his blue eyes up, half-mast with pupils blown, to watch the Omega while he does it.

And oh, endearing pet names? 

That’s cheating.

“I haven’t had an Alpha in...years,” he rolls his eyes from one Alpha to the other, “I’m never going to talk about it, but it didn’t–there’s a reason I’ve kept it hidden. You get what I’m saying?” His hands automatically tighten down on Jim’s forearm and Steve’s hand.

“Tony,” is the rumble against his throat, gentle kisses along the tendon, the memory of their engineer’s terrified stance in the workshop.

Steve responds by standing, leaning over with his heart in his eyes, mind working at the implications, that he’d been right. Some Alpha hurt him, did awful things to make Tony this terrified for the world to know his orientation, to just let people assume he was an Alpha or a Beta. And in the years they’d been teammates and friends, all the years he’s had Iron Man at his back and Tony at Movie Nights or sparring practice, post-mission meals and impromptu picnics on the roof. So he knows, one of the few things Tony Stark respects more than smooth words and sentiments– 

–is action. 

He makes it clearer with the press of his mouth gently against Tony’s, gentle licks to entice him to open up, to let himself be had.

“You don’t have to hide from us anymore,” between submissive kisses.

“Gonna let us take care a’ ya instead, ain’t cha? Gonna let us be good Alphas ta ya?” And Jim leans up to watch Stevie at Tony’s mouth, the sight, the scent, bringing all his Rut symptoms closer to the surface, makes it so fucking hard to fight. 

He’d had to suppress everything as The Asset, had been trained to ignore those desperate wants, had been put on suppressants to control his cycle for as long as he’d been under their control. 

With the freedom to let it out, to be with his Alpha partner, to be completely open and possessive, marking what’s his.

After this, Tony Stark is going to be another thing his to add to the list. Another one he’s going to protect with his life, one his Alpha would scent mark obsessively, one his inner Winter Soldier would seek out first whenever there was trouble. 

Tony turns enough to be able to talk, giving more of his throat for both Alphas. “Yes,” he pants out, even though this is a terrible idea. “I want it, want you. Both of you if I can have it.”

He closes his eyes, feels Steve nibble at his jaw, under his ear, while Jim is moving along his collarbone. 

“Keep talkin’,” is lower, deeper from Steve, a hint of the Brooklyn Boy breaking lose. “How d’ya want us, Tony? Like this?” And a mouth slides lower, latches on to the tight nub on his chest, hot mouth sealing to suck.

“Maybe like this,” and Jim pulls off long enough to talk, to slide a hand in, fist the Omega’s cock at the base again while the metal one grips the back of a thigh, ruts against it with a groan.

And now it’s Steve’s scent getting heady, getting muskier, invading his senses, calling to the Omega in him, making him weave his fingers through the Alpha’s hair and hold him in place so he can arch into the sweet, sweet torture while his hips work against Jim’s hand.

“A-all of it. I want all of it,” is broken with a whine when his jeans and boxers are finally shoved down his legs, tossed carelessly away.

Both Alphas pull off him, pull away to sit back and look their fill.

It makes him squirm under their intense gazes, makes him turn away, his face getting warm.

“Sssh, sssh,” Steve come close enough to palm his face and turn him back, to make him look at them looking at him, “that’s it. We need to see you, Tony. We need to make sure you want this, so no looking away.”

“Be good fer us, Doll,” Jim moans, panting, running his hand up, up, up until he can feel the wetness, can open his palm to cup Tony’s balls, slide his other hand up to the base of their Omega’s cock, give him a few easy tugs. “That’s right, getting nice n’ wet. Betcha gonna be so tight f’ me, betcha I can make ya keen.”

“Yes, fuck, please,” Tony pants, trying so hard to be still when they’re still touching him, looking at him with heat and fondness. “I...I’ll be good.”

Steve leans in to nuzzle at his nose, being tender about it when his chest starts rumbling, a gentle purr while he makes his way to the engineer’s mouth. “If something isn’t right, what’s your safe word, Sweetheart?”

“I–” but his hips jerk uncontrollably when the first touch to his opening is so much and still moremoremore. He shudders, just tries to breathe out.

“Easy, Buck. This first,” and the smaller Alpha growls a little and shifts down to bury his mouth against Tony’s thighs instead.

“That’s it. Come back, Tony,” more nuzzles that feel nice and safe, slick tongue sliding over his femoral, kiss of teeth still making him breathless.

Jim keeps two fingers moving through his slick, teasing him with every pass over his opening despite the Captain’s orders.

“Color system,” helplessly, he pushes his hips into the touch, trying to get what’s just a promise with fingertips barely breaching him.

Steve gives him a dazzling smile, rewards him for being somewhat lucid with a thumb swirling over his nipple, teasing it into a peak.

“Red, Yellow, Green, Doll?” But Bucky doesn’t look away from the sight. Their pretty Omega laying out with Steve blanketing him, keeping him calm so Bucky can work him nice n’ dirty. He gets to move up and mouth at the Omega’s broad curve, running his tongue up the vein until he’s sucking at the head, teasing the slit to get a taste.

“Buck!” Steve reprimands half-heartedly when Tony cries out against his throat arching up into Steve’s hand.

“Yesyesyes fine, red, yellow, green, got it!” Tony manages to grit out between his teeth when warm and wet slides over him, and it’s a struggle whether to bury himself in Jim’s mouth or push back against those fingers, to get something deeper, closer to where he’s starting to need it.

His scent gets stronger, his arousal adding another layer of spicy sweet. Steve shamelessly buries his face in the side of Tony’s throat and breathes deep, a groan making his chest rumble. 

“Come on already,” he pants, “isn’t there an Alpha in Rut somewhere around here?”

“Shh, Tony. It’s okay. Your pheromones are keeping him under control until we get you ready,” the blond licks over his throbbing pulse, shamelessly groaning when he gets to scent-mark their engineer. 

“Are you kidding me? I’m ready, like yesterday kind of ready–”

Steve catches his mouth a second after a bite to his thigh in admonishment makes him jump.

“If you want Bucky’s cock, then you’re going to have to wait until he preps you,” is that Captain America giving an order kind of tone.

“This is such bullshit,” he whines, helplessly pinned by two beautiful Alphas. 

“Don’t worry, Doll. We’re gonna take good care a’ ya.”

The next roll of his hips and the fingers catch on his rim, burying themselves deep. The noise is obscene, but Steve won’t let him turn away, licks at his mouth until he opens up.

His noises are muffled, his fists clenching when the slow slide starts, Jim trying to be easy with him, gentle. 

Which is absolutely not what he needs, not after so long, not with how good they smell, how heady their combined musk is making him, how much he suddenly needs to take care of Jim’s Rut, help him sate the biological imperative.  

He doesn’t realize Steve’s trying to worm his fingers between Tony’s still clenched in the bedding, just squeezes when longer fingers interlace. It’s as much holding him still as comforting him while he groans around Steve’s tongue at the quickening thrusts.

The low growl becomes a rolling purr, is James Buchannon Barnes sinking deeper into his inner Alpha, the instincts he doesn’t have to suppress, and that could be why he isn’t a raging animal right now – almost seventy years without a Rut notwithstanding. 

By all rights, if he was a normal Alpha hitting Rut, he should be throwing Steve right the hell off his Omega and fucking into the engineer immediately to sate the growing need.

If he hadn’t been tortured out of his Alpha instincts by Hydra, if he hadn’t been on and off deep freeze, if it wasn’t Tony under him, he might have gone into a Rage and fucked the Omega until he screamed for it.

He adds another finger, mouth watering at the scent of Tony’s slick, the wet squelch telling him the Omega wanted this, wanted him, wanted them.

“Pleasepleaseplease,” said against Steve’s mouth when the thrust of fingers gets faster, harder, and he arches his back up into them. 

“So good for us, Tony,” Steve noses his face to the side to lick over his pulse again, set his teeth in the meat of their mechanic’s shoulder. “Just a little more. How’s he doing, Buck?”

“Fucking beautiful, Stevie,” and Jim licks his lips, eyes all for the show, “he’s so ready, so wet. Gonna work ‘im a lil’ more, get ‘im crying for it.”

Steve looks over his shoulder and grins shamelessly at the expression on Bucky’s face, the one that’s completely focused on what he’s doing.

That’s when Tony gets with the program because he’s just about done being tortured. All it takes is for a hand to wiggle in front of Steve’s crotch and palm him through his pants, give a few squeezing strokes. It makes Steve rear up, gasping in pleasure as Tony planned, so he can move his other hand to Jim and pull those fingers out of his wet ass.  It’s more instinct that guides him to rise to his knees and face the Alphas head on.

“Let me service you through your Rut, Alpha,” is all Jim needs to hear from the beautiful Omega, naked on his knees, smelling like ready, willing, and waiting. He’s flushed with pleasure, with their marks on his skin, and he’s–

–presenting.

It’s something so terribly traditional as Tony turns around and lowers his chest to the bed, spreading his knees to offer himself.

Jim’s mouth falls open in soft awe, and Steve makes a noise that sounds painful.

But Tony turns his face to the side, looking back, mouth open and kiss-swollen, pink down to his chest, and his hands move up the back of his thighs until he spreads himself, giving them the show of a lifetime.

“Alpha...take me.” 

Is really James Buchannon Barnes’ undoing.

**

“S-Stevie,” is a low growl, the Alpha in him hitting some hard limits. “He yelps, ya pull me back, no matter what.”

Breathing in through his mouth, Steve moves off the bed with one last shuffle of fingers through Tony’s sweaty hair, “don’t worry, Buck, I won’t let cha hurt ‘im. You hear that, sweetheart? You’re gonna check in, okay?”

“Mmm,” Tony braces his elbows and lowers his back on instinct, feeling the muscles stretch, “green. Green, Alpha.”

Imagine breaking up with your boyfriend, and seeing as you were living in his apartment you don’t have any place to go. There is one option you have, but you had never really thought it was serious. FYI, it was (Part 1 of 2).

TO Gen Fic X Reader

You hadn't realized Mystic Falls was an odd place to live until your high school years. It all started when the Salvatore brothers showed up in town and then Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, and Tyler all started acting weird. No one expected you to be as observant as you were and you played the oblivious teenage girl rather well.

Damon Salvatore was an even bigger oddity, he showing up at school events and high school parties as if he were meant to be there and didn't care what anyone had to say about it. The group didn't know how to play it cool and were often seen being capable of feats that no average human should be capable of. Then the new history teacher started with the same odd behavior, but you were smart enough to stay off their radar.

At least that was until Rebekah Mikaelson came to school.

Rebekah was another oddity at Mystic High, she making it her mission to antagonize Elena and Caroline every chance she got. You had a few classes her, but knew it was best to keep your head down around her and some of the others. But then one day you find her sniffling in the girl's bathroom and you can't help but offer her some words of wisdom.

Girls are catty bitches. One way to piss them off beyond belief is to pretend their actions towards you doesn't affect you.

And Rebekah- well the blonde took your words to heart. After that one fateful day she was never seen too far from your side and was constantly gloating for some unknown reason whenever Elena, Bonnie, or Caroline tried to corner you and you brushed them off. Rebekah took her lunch with you and even switched seats to be right next to yours in your shared classes.

Then Rebekah took you home.. and the reasoning behind everyone's odd behavior came to light. Vampires. They were all vampires. Vampires were freakin' real!

But after a brief mental break, a couple days of moping, and another couple days of talking everything through with Rebekah and a much needed weekend shopping trip to New York- which her brother Elijah chaperoned for your parent's sake, btw- you came around to who the Mikaelson's were. Of course those who you grew up with, plus the Salvatore brothers, did their very best to sway your judgement, but you weren't having it. The drama was between them, not you, and the Mikaelson's did their best to keep you out of when you had asked Rebekah of it. The horrors the Mikaelson's did was all in their past and you promised them it'd stay there no matter how much Stefan Salvatore tried to persuade you.

Fast forward a few years later, about a year after high school and a few weeks since the Mikaelson's have reclaimed their mansion in Mystic Falls, and your life takes a turn for the worse.

Your boyfriend of three years was a total dirt bag and after finding out he'd been cheating on you for over a year, the only thing you could do was move out since the apartment was in his name. And since your family had never approved of you moving in with him in the first place, you couldn't exactly go back to them without hearing the numerous I told you so's.

So with your car packed with all your personal belongings and your entire movie collection, you drove to the only place you hoped would put you up for a night or two. 

Parking at the end of the driveway of the Mikaelson property, you pull out your cell and dial Rebekah. She answers after the third ring. "What do you want?"

You sniffle. "Hey, Rebekah, you aren't busy are you?"

"What's wrong?"

"I, uh, I might need a place to stay for the night."

"I'm on my way. Where are you?"

Chuckling softly, you say. "At the end of your driveway. I didn't mean to presume, but-" Knocking at your window makes you yelp and you attempt to calm your racing heart when you see Rebekah standing there. Glancing at your phone you see your home screen rather than the call in progress screen and toss your phone into the passenger seat. Rolling down the window, you smile sheepishly. "So Evan's officially on my shit list."

Rebekah frowns. "What happened?"

"He's been cheating on me. For over a year."

"Oh, Y/N. I'm so sorry. I'll kill him."

Though the situation you find yourself in is shitty, Rebekah's words startle a laugh out of you. "Thanks for the offer, but that's a bit drastic, Bex. I actually had to move out and I don't have any place to go-"

"Say no more. We have more than enough room to put you up."

Rebekah then tells you to drive your car closer to the house before using her vamp speed to disappear and you can only do as you're told. After you park and cut the engine, you grab your phone and a bag from the back seat which holds a few outfits before exiting your vehicle. The front door is already open and Elijah's smile is full of sympathy.

"Rebekah told us what happened. My condolences to your failed relationship,  though if I remember correctly you're better off without him."

"Thanks, Elijah," you mumble. Shifting your weight from foot to foot, you hesitantly meet his gaze. "I'm sorry for just dropping in on you and your family, but-"

"But nothing. You have had a standing invitation to our home the day you spoke to Rebekah with kindness and accepted my family for who we are, past and all. Now stop worrying that pretty little head of yours and get inside. I think Rebekah is finished with your room."

Following Elijah inside, you're stopped short when you see Klaus standing at the foot of the stairs.

"Just say the word and I'll rip his heart out for you, love."

You snort. "Noted. Though I'm sure you'll be second in line. Rebekah's never liked Evan. It's like Christmas come early for her. I'm pretty sure she's going to make his life as miserable as she can without killing or maiming him."

Your phone dings before Klaus can reply. Dropping your bag at your feet, you swipe open your awaiting text message and chuckle at what you read.

          Just say the word, darling, and he's deader than dead.

"Alright. Who told Kol?"

Klaus smirks. "What did our little brother have to say?"

"What do you think?" You mumble, typing a quick reply before pocketing your phone. "He's a Mikaelson through and through. He wants to murder Evan as much as you and Rebekah do."

"Did you tell him Rebekah had dibs?"

"Not exactly. I just told him that if I changed my mind then hunting Evan would become a family event and I'd text him the details."

"You do know our little brother is in love with you, right?" A voice drawls. Glancing to the left of the staircase, your eyes widen and your chest aches with such sadness and grief you'd once felt for this particular Mikaelson. "Hello, Y/N."

"Finn?"

"It's great to be back."

You heave a watery laugh before slowly making your way towards the brought back to life Mikaelson, hesitantly reaching out and poking him to make sure he's real. When the tip of your finger meets solid mass, you close the gap between you and Finn and hug him. "How?"

"That would be our darling older sister."

"Older?" Pulling back, but keeping your arms around Finn's waist, you see a person you've never seen before standing just to the left of Finn's shoulder.

"Our sister Freya," Klaus explains. "It's a long story, love. One I'm sure Rebekah will fill you in on before the night is through."

"Finn is back from the dead and you guys have an older sister.. and you didn't tell me!" Stepping back from Finn, you reach out and punch Klaus' shoulder. The hybrid chuckles and you pout at him before turning back to Freya and sheepishly smiling at her. "Hi. I'm Y/N. I'm a friend of Rebekah's from school."

The blonde grins. "It's nice to meet you. My family seems to have more enemies and ally's than friends. It really is nice to meet an honest soul."

Klaus snorts. "Y/N? Honest? Dear sister, I think you've got it all wrong."

"Shut it, wolf boy."

Klaus huffs in mock indignation while the rest of his family smirk. For such a tiny human, you had the Mikaelson's in the palm of your hand.

"There you are," Rebekah muses, her heels clacking against the marble staircase. Stopping halfway down, she gestures for you to go on up. "Come. You need to tell me everything. We'll make a girl's night of it."

Grinning, you walk back over to your bag and pick it back up. Then looking over your shoulder and meeting Freya's gaze, you say, "Coming? I'm sure your brothers can amuse themselves without getting into too much trouble."

Freya seems surprised by the invitation, but Rebekah interrupts before she can say anything. "Oh. Yes! You've been in an enchanted sleep for far too much of your life. You missed the drama that came with young love, so come listen to Y/N's woes. If we can't kill her lying, cheating ex, then I'm sure there's some spell in that grimoire of yours that we can use to humiliate him."

"Grimoire?" Looking at Freya, you raise an eyebrow in surprise. "Witch?" At her nod, you grin. "Then you're definitely coming with us. The only witch I've met is that Bennett witch and I'm not a fan of hers. Just ask your family."

The rest of the Mikaelson's all snicker and Freya decides she rather spend the night with some female company than that of her brothers.

You shower before dressing in pajamas, and then spend the rest of the night telling Rebekah and Freya all about Evan's shitty behavior and the other woman. It's a night full of junk food and alcohol and trash talking, and then the sisters decide to team up on you when Kol decides to text you constantly.

"If Kol stops by and the two of you decide to encourage him in this little infatuation of his, I'll.. I'll figure something out that would be embarrassing for a witch and a vampire."

"But you have to admit," Rebekah muses while tucking you into bed, "that having Kol on your arm would royally piss off Evan. He's never liked my family and to see you with Kol right after your break-up would make him think something's been going on without his knowledge."

Yawning, you close your eyes and let your body melt into the mattress. "We'll see. Kol's unpredictable. My luck I actually end up dating your brother without knowing it."

"Would that really be a bad thing?" Rebekah chuckles.

"Mmm. I guess not."

"That's what I thought. Now get some sleep. We'll plot in the morning."

"Mmm. Night, Bex. Night, Freya."

"Night," both girls chime.

The two sisters make their way out of the room and once the door is closed, Freya turns to Rebekah. "Are you really going to set her up with Kol?"

"Obviously," she huffs. "Kol's.. he's different with Y/N," Rebekah then explains. "You'll have to see it for yourself, but I think if she'd give him a chance Kol would likely beg Y/N to let him turn her so he could spend the rest of his life with her."

Freya's eyebrows raise in surprise. "He really likes her then?"

"Yes." Scoffing, she then asks, "Don't tell me you bought that little act he put on with Davina? Kol only put on the show for Davina's magic. If given the chance, he'd drop everything to come running for Y/N."

"Well I guess I'll see soon," Freya muses. "I'm actually looking forward to this."

"So am I," Rebekah grins. "It's going to be fun."

Warning: Drug abuse

.

He let out a sigh as the rest of the students filed into the room, already scratching out a new design on his table as the teacher tried to get their attention for today’s lesson.

Most of them had long ago given up trying to get him to pay attention in class, knowing that persisting the issue would only get themselves into an argument with him and on the receiving end of some of his ‘pranks’.

Plus, it’s not like they could complain given that he was a near straight-A student, something that seemed to flummox most of them as they continuously tried to catch him cheating on his assignments, but what they don’t know is that he has a guardian angel looking over him.

A guardian angel that is now knocking on the door of his class with a bright smile on his face, now having to try to keep back his own smile at the sight of him as he straightens a little in his chair.

He watches as the teacher opens the door to the other man, trying to keep his head down as if he’s not already hyper-aware of the man at the door.

“It’s nice to see you Ryan, what can I do for you?”

“Good Morning Ms. Graham, I’m here to take Jonathan off of your hands, Mr. Stein wants to see him in his office” As soon as he heard his name he started packing up his things, shoving himself away from his desk as he strode towards the door before the teacher even had a chance to address him.

He didn’t spare a glance back at the class as he walked into the hallway, only making it a few steps before Ryan was in step beside him, where he then turned his head to flash a smile at the older man.

That was when he felt Ryan grab onto the lapels of his blazer and the next thing he knew he was being shoved into some lockers, Ryans’ lips now pressing fervently against his own. It only took a moment before his brain caught up, wrapping his arms around the smaller man to begin palming at his ass whilst he slid his tongue into the other man’s mouth, quickly becoming lost in him

He’s not sure how long they stand there making out and practically grinding against each other in the hallway before they pull away from each other, smiles lighting up their faces with laughs quick to fall from their lips.

“Look at you bein’ all naughty and gettin’ me out of class”

“What can I say, you’re a bad influence on me” He snorted at the statement, knowing it was far from the truth, and from the giggle that spilled from the other man, he knew it too, easily pulling him into another long kiss.

“So, what you got in store for me today, Ry” As he said it he began nosing along the other man’s jaw, his breath sending a shiver down the other man’s spine that was enough to have his own heart rate increase from the reaction.

“ ‘s a surprise”

With that Ryan pulled away from him, grabbing a hold of his hand as he began dragging him through the hallway.

He tugged a little on Ryans’ arm, bringing them even closer together, even if it made walking awkward, but the small giggle he got from the other man as he pressed a series of kisses against his neck was worth it.

“You finally put on that lingerie I’ve been beggin’ you to?”

“No”

“You gonna take me out somewhere nice?”

“Not quite” As he heard the giggles from Ryan he let out a small growl as he then pushed Ryan into the lockers, quickly pressing himself firmly against the smaller man as he began kissing at his neck.

“How ‘bout you tell me then, Ry?”

“What part of a surprise don’t you get?”

“C’mon Ry, jus’ tell me” He then sucked a mark just under the other man’s ear, chuckling a little at the breathless sigh that fell from his lips “please, Ry? Know you want to” He kept nipping at Ryans’ jaw with each of his pleas, knowing that he’s gradually wearing away at his defence “Jus’ tell me darlin’ and I’ll spoil you tonight”

“You spoil me every night”

“Don’t make me worm it out of you Ryan” He just saw the other man roll his eyes before moving away from him slightly, reaching into his backpack to pull out a reasonably large amount of weed that he couldn’t help but whistle at as he grabbed the bag from the other man. “How the hell did you score this?”

Ryan just snorted at the question before grabbing the bag off of him and putting it back into his rucksack “Oh please, my brother basically begged me to take it and I quote ‘loosen up and get that stick out of your ass’”

“Have I ever said how much I love goody two shoes you?”

“Speaking of, let’s get out of here before someone finds us and ruins my good guy act” He smiled as Ryan leaned forward to press their lips together briefly before they were once again making their way quickly through the halls, giggling with each other until they were finally out of the front doors.

It was a short journey to his car, both of them quickly piling in before the engine was on and they were driving off of the school grounds, he could see Ryan to his side begin to roll a joint and smiled as he watched the other man light it up and take in a long breath.

He didn’t even have to ask before it was pressed against his lips, taking a long moment to breathe in the smoke, keeping it in his mouth for a moment longer before slowly letting it escape his lips, smiling at the man beside him who was laying back in his chair, his feet now hanging out of the open window.

He weaved a hand through Ryans’ hair, tugging it towards him until the other man began pressing kisses against his neck, letting out a small hum as he felt the other man suck a mark on him.

Luckily, it was only a minute more before he was putting the car into park onto the hill that gave them a nice view of the town, a spot they usually came to to relax.

He watched as Ryan took another long drag of the joint, licking his lips slightly as the other man turned back to him to press their lips together, letting out a moan as he felt the smoke pass his own lips.

They kept pressed together until their lungs were screaming for air, giving the other man a loose smile before Ryan handed him the rest of the joint to smoke whilst he rolled a couple more, quickly lighting one of them as he took another large puff.

His thoughts were already becoming heady as he took in a last large breath of the joint in his hands, putting it out and chucking it out of the window, before leaning across to press his lips to Ryans’ where they shared a long, gentle kiss.

When they pulled apart he took another long drag of the joint hanging loosely between Ryans’ fingers, ignoring the protest from the smaller man as he blew the smoke out against his face, earning a small giggle from Ryan as he pressed them into another kiss.

As they pulled apart he tugged the other man’s lower lip between his teeth, delighting in the moan he heard fall from his lips, but still, he evaded the hand that tried to weave into his hair to instead step out of the car.

He quickly made his way around the front to Ryans’ side, knocking his feet off of the windowsill so that he could lean in and press their lips together again.

It was another moment before he was pulling away, opening the car door to tug the smaller man out of his seat, quickly pressing them tightly against one another as the joint was once again pressed against his lips.

He allows the smoke to fill up his lungs before he connects his lips to Ryans’ again, eagerly sharing the smoke between them as their tongues moved leisurely together.

With a loose grin on his face, he begins to tug the other man back with him so that he was being pressed against his car, smiles and laughs being shared between them as they finished the rest of the joint between the two of them.

He then sat back on the hood of his car, dragging Ryan up after him until he was laying leisurely against the back of the window with Ryan between his legs, his front to the other man’s back as he stroked his hand up and down the older man’s chest.

“How’s that stick in your ass, Ryan?” He whispered against the smaller man’s neck as he began mouthing along it, his nose brushing along Ryans’ hairline and letting out a chuckle as he felt the other man shiver in his arms.

“Shut up before I shove it up yours”

“Could you imagine if I turned up at school tomorrow, shirt tucked in, tie straight and became a fuckin’ teachers’ pet”

“I’m pretty sure they’d all have a stroke, but I kinda want to see it now, bet you’d look hot…in a nerdy kinda way” He laughed whilst Ryan leaned his head back on his shoulder to face him, easily separating the gap between them to quickly press their lips together.

“Jus’ like I wanna see you all ruffled up in your uniform, you’d look so fuckin’ sexy”

“Am I not sexy already?” He couldn’t keep the smirk off of his lips as he bit down on Ryans’ neck in reply, swiping his tongue over the red mark already forming and feeling a pleased hum at the thought of the other man trying to hide it later.

“You’re always sexy, babe, all I ask is ten minutes in the supply closet”

“Buy me dinner tonight and you’ve got a deal” He let out a laugh as he brushed his lips against the other man’s, the feeling enough to send a shiver down his own spine and the he’s unconsciously pulling Ryan closer against him.

“You must be high if you’re agreein’ to what I’m sayin’”

It’s almost comical the way Ryan actually considers the answer, hand on his chin as if in deep thought “Maybe I did lose the stick in my ass”

He just let out a hum as he continues to pepper kisses across the smaller man’s neck and shoulders, enjoying the little breathless sighs he’d occasionally get from the other man far too much.

“We should try and save some weed for later; I like this version of you” As he spoke he prodded Ryans’ side, laughing at the giggles from the older man as he tried to evade his touch.

“Or, we can smoke it all today and get some more off my brother” He can see the hope colouring the other man’s face, as if he’s trying to convince himself, and he then he could never deny Ryan anything.

“And he’ll give you more, jus’ like that?”

“He doesn’t have to know, he’s high as a kite most of the time, not like he’d notice” He hummed as he pressed a final kiss to the back of Ryans’ neck before leaning back again.

“Maybe I am rubbin’ off on you” All he heard was a snort from Ryan before he spoke.

“Well I wish you’d rub off on me in a different way”

“Be careful what you wish for baby” He thrust his hips up a little so that he could grind against Ryans’ back for a moment, earning a giggle from the smaller man who then made it his mission to fidget in his lap. “You a worm now, Ry?

He tightened his arms around the smaller man for a moment, stilling his movement, but it lasted all of a second before Ryan renewed his efforts.

“Could you imagine being a worm? Life would be so much easier, don’t you think? You just go around eating dirt and have to try not to be dumb enough to get eaten by a bird”

“You already failed then cause I’ve already caught you” As if to reaffirm his statement he grazed his teeth across Ryans’ neck, feeling the shiver travel through the other man before his giggle filled the air around them. However, he quickly found himself cold as Ryan moved away from him as he slid off of the hood “Babe, what’re you doin’?”

“I don’t want you to eat me, I’ve got so much to live for” He felt a wicked grin light up his face, giving the other man a moments head start before he was also sliding off of the hood to run after him.

The chase doesn’t last long before he’s crashing into Ryan and they’re both falling onto the grass below them, laughing all the while as he begins nipping at the other man’s collar bone beneath him.

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you wanted to get caught” He smiled as Ryan reached up to put both of his hands on his face, smushing his cheeks a little to purse his lips before kissing him.

“Well you make for a sexy bird Jonny” He laughed before pressing his lips against Ryan’s again, rolling them so that the smaller man was now laying over him, a smile on his lips as he kept pecking at his lips.

“Isn’t this so much more fun than school? Why can’t you bail with me more often so we can do this e’ryday”

“Cause I gotta keep being a good boy so I can get your ass outta class”

“As if I wouldn’t bounce anyway, you jus’ like how good it feels disobeyin’ don’t you?”

“Guilty as charged” he laughed as Ryan leaned down to kiss him again, humming as he felt a hand weave into his hair and tug at it slightly before the smaller man pulled away to rest his chin on his chest, looking up at him with an innocent smile and batted lashes “Can we go eat please?”

“I told you I’d take you for dinner, plus, it ain’t even noon yet babe” Ryan just let out a strained sigh as he rolled off of him to lay beside him on the grass, where he quickly linked their fingers together before bringing the hand up to kiss it.

“You’re a sap, you know that?”

“Jus’ don’t go tellin’ anyone else or you’ll ruin my rep” Ryan let out a small giggle as he turned to face him, bringing up his free hand to rest on his cheek “You got that other joint you rolled? Or did you leave it in the car?”

“I take back what I said about you being sweet”

Yet even as Ryan said it, he moved the hand on his cheek to instead dig in his pocket, pulling out a somewhat crumpled joint and a lighter before chucking them onto his chest.

“Well we’re gonna share this aren’t we? That’s romantic” Ryan just snorted as he placed the joint between his lips and lit it, however, before he had the chance to take a drag of it, it was plucked from his lips.

His protest falling on his lips as he saw Ryan bringing it to his own lips and take a long breathe before returning the joint to him.

He brought his fingers up to hold the joint as he took a long drag of it, delighting in the way the smoke filled up his lungs before watching it slowly trail from his lips and disappear in front of him.

It was then he felt Ryan grasp his wrist, bringing the joint back up to his lips where he took another long breathe before it was pulled away, the smaller man quickly replacing it with his lips.

That’s how they spent the next several hours, gradually making their way closer to his car through small wrestling matches and chases, more often than not laying on top of each other as they took in the environment around them with dazed eyes.

It was just getting dark when they left the hill, having nibbled on the lunch Ryans’ mum packed him during the day, but now their bodies were demanding more.

Since that third joint they’d shared, he hadn’t smoked anymore given that he still had to drive but watched with a smile as Ryan had another one later on, making the other man promise to save him some for when they went back to his house later.

He watched the other man with a smile as he drove, saw Ryan waving his hand outside the moving car’s window, tracing patterns he couldn’t see whilst humming a tune he couldn’t hear.

All while he constantly had to bat the other man’s wandering hands, only indulging them when he reached a red light, sure that it’ll be an easy task to convince the other man to skip school with him tomorrow as well.

I was watching the 1992 Olympics compulsory dance and there was a fluff about Isabelle Duchesnay and Christopher Dean since the Duchesnays were competing for Olympic gold (they ended up winning silver behind Klimova/Ponomarenko) in their home country of France, Chris was their choreographer, and Isabelle and Chris were married. Then I came across a video from a Torvill/Dean shipper called “I DO NOT LOVE YOU ISABELLE” (see here if you want lmao) and the comments said Chris only marred Isabelle because he was in love with Jayne and heartbroken after Jayne got married and that Jayne was the only one who could handle Chris since she was so laid back. I was like what, but someone on twitter told me this is actually true and he admitted it in their Life Stories special and “he admitted he felt empty because Jayne "wasn’t his" so he rushed into it. Jayne also admitted she always loved him too, but they decided to put it behind them.” So I decided to look up old articles for the drama!

BTW for some background info Jayne married Phil Christensen in 1990 and they’re still married to this day and have two adopted children.

Chris Dean and Isabelle Duchesnay were married from 1991 to 1993 and then divorced because Chris cheated on her with tons of other women (that didn’t include Jayne). Isabelle also said Jayne hated her, was probably in love with Chris, and the only time she ever smiled at her was when she announced she was divorcing Chris:

“Jayne hated me. I think perhaps she was in love with Chris before and never accepted me. The only time she ever smiled at me was when I announced I was divorcing him.” -Isabelle Duchesnay, whose marriage to Dean lasted less than three years (x)

Duchesnay had gone public with complaints that Dean cheated on her with a succession of women and that his on-ice intimacy with Torvill left her feeling excluded. Of Trenary, then dating the legally separated Dean, Duchesnay said, “I feel sorry for her.” (x)

Chris and Jill Trenary (American singles skater who was world champion in 1990) were married from 1994 to 2010 and have two kids. Jill said she didn’t care that Chris cheated on Isabelle because she was madly in love, Jayne’s husband Phil was the best man at their wedding, and Chris said that he was sure that he will spend the rest of his life with Jill:

Dean denied Duchesnay’s accusations, and Trenary didn’t care: she was, she said, “madly in love.” Dean, divorced in December, formally proposed two months later in Norway, moments after he and Torvill won a bronze medal in their Olympic reunion. In a room below the ice rink, he knelt and popped the question. “It was kinda cute,” said Trenary.

And so was she, at the wedding, in her white lace, off-the-shoulder gown. When she walked down the aisle with her father, Robert, a steel-mill owner, Torvill sat in a nearby pew. Her husband, Phil Christensen, a sound engineer, served as best man. And yes, there was ice—at the reception, chilling the champagne Dean raised in toast to his new wife. “There are not many things in life you can be sure of,” he said. “One thing I’m sure about: this is the girl I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. (x)

It didn’t last for the rest of his life and Chris and Jill ended up separating in 2010 due to various reasons, one being that Chris no longer lived full time in Colorado and had to go back to the UK for 6 months when Dancing on Ice started. Chris and Jill were still on good terms though. 

Chris started dating Karen Barber (she was an ice dancer who’s partner was Nicky Slater the B.ESP uncle) who was also a Dancing on Ice judge in 2011. They’re still together in 2019. They started dating after Chris separated from Jill and Karen separated from her husband of 21 years, Stephen Pickavance: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1347560/amp/Dancing-On-Ices-Karen-Barber-leaves-husband-caught-kissing-Christopher-Dean.html

At first Chris denied the relationship and said they were just sleepovers as friends since they knew each other since they were 16 and competing together. I also found out that Chris, Jayne, and Karen all hate B.ESP uncle Nicky Slater even though he was Karen’s partner:

‘People think if you’re doing that ­[having ­sleepovers]: “Well, there must be more to it than that.” But there doesn’t have to be. We [he, Karen and Jayne] have skated together since we were all 16. I’ve known her as long as I’ve known Jayne. When we competed in the British ­Championships, it was her and Nicky…’

He’s referring to Nicky Slater, the judge who has just been dropped from Dancing On Ice and whose relationship with Karen is, well… let’s say frosty. ‘He was an acquired taste,’ says Chris. ‘People were divided. You like or you don’t like his style.’ Do you? ‘We’ve known him a long time,’ he says diplomatically. So … back to this sleepover.

‘There can be friendships as well,’ 52-year-old Chris insists. ‘Karen will stay with Jayne, too.’ (x)

I also found some things about how Jayne and Chris described their relationship over the years. They didn’t skate together between 1998 (when they stopped competing professionally) and 2006 (the first time they skated together again because of Dancing on Ice) and Chris was depressed when they first stopped skating together, but his relationship with Jayne “lasted longer than any of his marriages”:

He pauses, trying hard to find the right words to explain this thing with Jayne. ‘It’s unique,’ he says. ‘We’re not brother and sister. We’re not husband and wife. But we formed our own friendship that required much more trust than any ­relationship. We’ve been together longer than both my marriages lasted.’

In the early Nineties, Chris was married briefly to French-Canadian skater ­Isabelle Duchesnay, who was famously jealous of Jayne, referring to her as the ‘other woman’ in their marriage. Patting Jayne on the leg, Chris says now: ‘This is the one marriage that lasted.’

So, how did he cope with the eight-year separation following their retirement from professional skating in 1998?

Chris says: ‘It was huge. We did our last performance together in Vancouver, but didn’t tell anyone it was our last performance. Only we knew. I came back to England, packed up and went to the U.S. with my then wife, Jill, because we both thought there would be more opportunities for us there.

‘So, I left the country, our partnership had finished and dissolved. I’d moved into a new house and I hadn’t got a job. All of that was in the space of two weeks. I went through a big withdrawal.

‘I had a lot of depression for six months. It’s weird. I thought I was ready for it. I’d psyched myself up and suddenly everything you knew, everything you were, was gone — changed. For six months, I was scratching my head wondering: “What’s life about?” Suddenly there was no routine. No time you had to get up in the morning.’

Jayne sits nodding as she listens to Chris. ‘I remember looking forward to it,’ she says. ‘I didn’t have to get up early. I didn’t have to get up at a certain time. But the loss of routine was tough. We chatted on the phone pretty much every day. Then Dancing On Ice came up. For me, the first performance we did on the first series was frightening. (x)

There’s also this quote from 1995 about how they were upset they kept being asked about a documentary clip filmed between 1994 Euros and 1994 Olympics where Chris “gleefully” makes Jayne cry in practice, but at least people stopped asking if they were in love because of it:

Their aura of invincibility had therefore been shattered, and within a few weeks their much-written-about "love affair on ice" was also dented by a television documentary which gleefully showed Dean reducing his partner to tears during practice.

"At least it stopped people asking us if we have been in love for the past 10 years," Torvill said. "It was a bit mean of the director to do this. We had this nice image, and he clearly wanted to ruin it by making out we were at each other's throats every day."

The "nasty and ruthless" Dean cuts in. "Most of the aggressiveness shown in the film took place in between the Europeans and the Olympics, when the pressure was on, and our moods, because we had seen the writing on the wall, were not good. The truth is that we've been doing this for 20 years, and there's no way either Jayne or I could have stood it for so long if I'd always carried on like that. People still approach me and say that I was mean to Jayne, but it's normally tongue in cheek. At least it showed the reality of what we do to the public." (x)

My Transformers Fancon: Decepticon High Command, Part III

-Tarn of Nyon commands the Decepticon Secret Police, in charge of stomping out internal dissent, and personally leads the DSP's elite Justice Division, which hunts down and brutally kills defectors. As demonstrated by his renaming himself after Megatron's hometown and having his face remade into the Decepticon logo, no one is more loyal to Megatron and the Decepticon cause, not even Soundwave. For one, Soundwave justifies his loyalty by being deeply in denial about the monsters they've turned into, whereas Tarn has no such illusions, and is fanatically devoted anyways. Soundwave also has his own ambitions, whereas Tarn genuinely cares for nothing but seeing Megatron's will be done. Not having realized that Megatron views this slavish devotion with contempt, Tarn is completely baffled why Megatron values Soundwave more than him, and subsequently hates the Intelligence chief with the intensity of a supernova. The only person he hates more is Starscream, who routinely attempts to betray Megatron and yet somehow remains second-in-command. Depsite his attempts not to show his true feelings to his superiors, they're both well aware of it; Soundwave ignores it, except when he needs to manipulate the DSP commander, whereas Starscream finds Tarn's impotent rage hilarious and makes a point of provoking him for kicks. -Thunderwing of Iacon is the newest member of High Command. Powerful, skilled, brilliant and charismatic, he led his Mayhem Attack Squad to some of the Decepticons' greatest victories. He came up with Pretender shells (though the tech was perfected by Shockwave and Tarantulas). He has never shown the slightest hint of disloyalty. He is the only member of High Command that Megatron worries about; everyone else, Megs has a bead on, is totally confident he can take on, or both. Thunderwing, however, is a complete enigma, and is every bit as badass as Megatron. For this reason, Megatron took the unusual step of assigning one of the Megacons, Bludgeon, to serve under Thunderwing and thus keep an eye on him.

-Tyrannitron of the Sector 4/6.4-K Campaign is the youngest member of Decepticon High Command, having been born only a few million years ago (you can tell he's warborn because his name refers to his first battle rather than his place of birth). A brilliant strategist and tactician, and an equally adept personal manipulator, Tyrannitron is the commander of the Decepticon Battle Fleet. While he has shown himself quite capable of commanding troops in the field as he is ships in space, he ever commanded Vehicon drones planetside. This because, while a Point-One-Percenter like his parent Archforce (to whom he bears a striking resemblance) and thus able to punch far above his weight-class, he is a Mini-Con. Given the might-makes-right philosophy of the Decepticons, this would mean that, where he to lead ordinary troops, he would face constant challenges to prove his fitness to lead, which while he is confident of winning said challenges (again, Point-One-Percenter), he doesn't have the patience. On the upside, it also meant that, unlike, say, Thunderwing, he has managed to avoid setting off the suspicions of Megatron and his inner circle.

(thanks to @cirex101 for helping me with the next three)

Jhiaxus: Second best.  That is the phrase that most Decepticons, and even some Autobots, would describe Jhiaxus, a brilliant scientist.  Second best to Shockwave.  Jhiaxus knows this what his peers think of him, and it infuriates and drives him in equal measure.  In order to escape from under SHockwave's shadow he revolutionized the Decepticon's budding system, creating legions of warriors almost overnight.  However, these warrioers are little more than cheap cannon fodder for the Decepticon cause, and have a shorter life expectancy on the battlefield compared to the older Decpticon warriors, earning them the derisive nickname "Genericons".  At the urging of Shockwave, Megatron assigned the Genericon legions to mere garrison duties, or to throw them at Autobot defenses whenever Megatron needs to distract the Bots from his true objective.  This ignoble fate to what was once his crowning achievement only spurs Jhiaxus to improve upon his designs, upgrading the Genericons, an creating even more horrible monstrosities in his lab.

Currently, Jhiaxus is in command of ‘Con controlled Cybertron

Onslaught: A decorated veteran officer of the Primal Vanguard, Onslaught left that prestigious institution in defiance of Functionism's, and by extension, Senator Proteus', growing power on Cybertron.  Onslaught signed on with the Decepticon movement, and used his military knowhow to win several victories during the Functionist revolt.  Onslaught and his elite team, the Combaticons, were responsible for several daring raids into Autobot held territory, and gained a reputation for planning almost every outcome.  However, the old saying, "No plan survives contact with the enemy", rings true, and although he plans for almost anything, Onslaught cannot plan for every eventuality, and if enough things go wrong, will lose his cool and resort to simply blowing the slag out of the enemy.   This deficiency prevents Onslaught from moving up in the Decepticon Hierarchy, but he doesn't let it show on the surface, and is liable to kill anyone who attempts to taunt him. 

Razorclaw: While Onslaught plans ahead of the battle, Razorclaw makes his plans durring the middle of battle.  His ability to take the unexpected with a clear, cool head makes Razorclaw's Predacons one of the fiercest squads in the entire Decepticon war machine.  Emotionless almost to Shockwave's level, Razorclaw was a gladiator, but he and his team operated in Vos, and as such never met Megatron in the arena.  However, he had heard of Megatron, and pledged his loyalty to him at the onset of the Functionist Revolt, ruthlessly hunting down Proteus' supporters with a silent enthusiasm that was as unnerving as it was effective.   Razorclaw is straightforward, and doesn't seek advancment in the ranks, seemingly content in his current position.  Some see this as laziness, but if you look beneath his contentment, you will see that Razorclaw is one of the most dangerous Decepticons because of this; he cannot be bought, bribed, intimidated, cajoled, or manipulated.  All that matters to him is the hunt, and many an unfortunate Con that got on his badside became the prey. 

BTW, something I tried to indicate but I'm not sure came through. There were two kinds of gladiatorial combat on Cybertron prior to the Great War, Arena Games, which were legal, restricted to trained gladiators, and had strict rules to minimize lethality, and Pit Fights, which were illegal, anyone can have a go, and the only rules are to put on a good show and try not to kill the audience. Mind, given how much punishment TFs can take, Pit Fights aren't that much more brutal or lethal than Arena Games. The real appeal of the Pit Fights is in their unpredictability; you can see a master of Metallikato go up against some big guy with a rocket punch, see a Beast-former take on a Tank, or who knows what.

Anyways, Razorclaw was an Arena Gladiator, because (as SB and SV poster Q99 put it...)

Razorclaw is a smart fighter, and he loves outfighting his opponents. Arena Fighters are almost all trained combatants at the upper levels, of the type he loves defeating, so once he's in the upper ranks his foes are almost all high-quality... though still not a match for him. Pit Fighters, you're more likely to see foes rely on raw power or a gimmick, and while he respects the more skilled fighters there, he doesn't want to waste time with the 'chaff' who got in because they happen to be a tank or such, or deal with silly 'three lesser bots vs one champ' matches, and as pit fighters are less regimented even good fighters there spend more time dealing with that kind of thing.

Which adds a bit of tension because Megatron and half of High Command were Kaonian Pit Fighters, so naturally they're going to think poorly of a Vosian Arena Gladiator. BTW, speaking of raw power versus skill, I imagine that... -Megatron, of course, is both hella powerful and crazy skilled

-Thunderwing is as well.

-Shockwave is actually a terrible fighter but makes up for her lack of skill with raw power.

-Starscream is the opposite; physically the weakest member of High Command, but makes up for it with skill.

-Scorponok is a beast, and he's got raw talent at fighting, but has no polish or finesse.

-Cryotek's strong, and used to be a good fighter, but he's rusty.

-Soundwave is a good mix of power and skill.

-Tyrannitron is similar, but has a fondness for trickery, head games, and such.

-Tarn is just this side of invincible, but finds brute force distasteful.

(the next three are thanks to @cirex101 again)

-Jhiaxus is unskilled, makes up for it with power, but not to the same extant as Shockwave.

-Onslaught has strength, but finesse he saves for his strategies.

-Razorclaw is both skilled and strong, but not to the same extant as Megatron, or Thunderwing.

-Dirt Boss was a scrappy little guy who always preferred to cheat. This may be one of the reasons he's dead.

Now I know what you’re thinking; Dirt Boss? You didn’t mention Dirt Boss. That’s because he’s dead, having been killed by Prowl. Before that, Dirt Boss was commander of the Combat Engineering Corps, and a member of Megatron's inner circle. Since his death, the Constructicons have resisted any attempt to appoint a permanent replacement and instead take turns holding the office. Megatron is not happy about this, but is unwilling to make an issue of it.

A few bits and bobs about Deception High Command:

-The Megacons are not technically members of High Command, but as Megatron's personal goon squad, each member holds comparable authority. In addition to the original line-up (sans Bludgeon) of Airachnid, Blackout, Thunderblast, and Lugnut, they've since added Lugnut's lover Strika, her conjunx Obsidian, and Megatron's personal medic, Scalpel. -A personality conflict I neglected to mention; while she doesn't act on it, Shockwave really doesn't like Cryotek, for reasons that should be obvious. -I haven't figured out what Tarn did before the War; I can't decide if he was also a Pit Fighter or if he did something else. What do you guys think?

-In addition to Shockwave and Tarantulas, a surprising number of the top Decepticons have science backgrounds (thanks to SVer KageX)

For Starscream since he was leader of the Exploration Corps perhaps his expertise lies not in the lab developing new weapons but in "surveying" areas and coming up with ways to exploit resources as well as how to survive in them. Think of the difference between a Geologist and a Chemist. Yes there is some overlap, but they focus on different areas of application. Starscream focuses on planning "field operations" and harvesting resources in his area of scientific expertise. He would know how to fix a shuttle, but it would not be his area of expertise, just something he picked up along the way as he was exploring distant areas of the universe. It would also explain his slippery nature, as this job would likely involve meeting with and negotiating with Alien Races. So Starscream became quite good at "negotiations" and other political endeavors.

- Shockwave is a polymath who is a master of all fields of hard science. Jhiaxus is more specialized; he does cybergenetics, mechanobiology, electronics, etc. but if you ask him about astrophysics or climatology, he's got nothing. Scorponok is interested in organic biology, but doesn't advertise this, since your average 'Con is at best apathetic about organics, and many actively hate 'em. Thunderwing is a dabbler; he reads scientific journals*, and will periodically come up with a clever idea, but doesn't really pursue the sciences.

-How Thunderwing came up with Pretender Shells: after conquering a particular planet, he made a point of studying their tech base, realized that some of their tech could be combined with Cybertronian tech to do something interesting, and sent Shockwave a memo. Shockwave agreed he was onto something, and she and Tarantulas made something out of it.

lutteo polish uni au PLEASE

my time has come

this got so long i have to cut this sorry 

luna is starting her first year at uni and she had to move from her hometown to attend her university at least she will get this ugly cheap dorm shared with hopefully someone not much weird 

bless cheap train tickets which means she will be able to go every weekend to her hometown and bring many jars of food made by her mom (goals)

people from her group are kinda cool but meme because since she is on the environmental engineering its uni of technology which means that most of her group are weird guys with first world problems (or buying twenty watches at once from ali express)

they get the less confused person and pick them as group president who finds out that there are materials from higher years, like answers to the tests, exams, done reports and other stuff

they send luna for it because she is the nicest

thats how she meets matteo balsano (in pl he would be named mateusz but who cares)

he is obviously in the students council of his faculty and has all important papers and knows all profs and he is very smirking at the younger lost student luna who knows like nothing and is scared of asking because all people seem to make fun of the greenies who dont know what is happening

also luna wants to attend all the lectures to be a proper student, she buys some big hardcover notebooks and highlighters to have material to study later

she fails

she ends up going on first lectures and then maybe second week’s ones too but then she either ends up falling asleep or skipping and staying at her ugly dorm sleeping because it’s not really worth it really

matteo ended up giving her the materials ofc and texts her sometimes subtly seeing on her insta story something like “where the f is room number 406??” or “this shit is boring help me” and she likes it kinda and he also sells her all tips about professors bc he knows it all

obviously is anyone surprised

no

he starts appearing in random places magically to help her find the room or something really

we should mention the time luna writes her first test and she is shook the questions are everything as last year, and two years ago, and three, and four, and,,,  

anyway everyone is even more shook when half people fails and then matteo or someone older idk who tells about the prof being too lazy to actually check and grade this shit they tell them about

throwing the papers in the air which means prof throws papers in the air and the tests which fall to the desk pass and those who are on the floor fail rip

luna likes hanging out with matteo obviously because he is funny and he is always having some coffee or water to share (poor student’s life doesnt allow those luxuries unless you are rich)

when we are by rich matteo is rich and he has his own apartment shared with ramiro or someone idk really but he has his own room, bed and mostly full fridge which is all boy in college can offer to a girl

luna doesnt really get that he likes likes her because lol he is acting just friendly and she doesnt know uni life enough anyway she has one bigger friend in the group (the rest likes her bc she cool and got them materials and knows older guy who gives them spoliers about uni which is always good)

this friend is actually jazmin who is on year lower because she started clothing design on asp year ago and now she decided she wants to be environmentally friendly so she is the chatty friend who keeps dragging Luna around the important places all around the uni and neighbor cities like famous club SPIŻ

luna hates this place esp the beer they are recommending in their song but she hates it and it all tastes the same besides weird staring drunk guys are disgusting she wants to go home so they call uber to drive them and its nice old man who keeps asking them about their grades in high school

one day luna has very difficult weird math exam and there is no answers anywhere so she texts matteo asking for @help pls i have no idea what is going on even and he helps her because obviously she manages to take a picture and send him and he solves it all and luna is nice person so she sends it to the rest of the group

they all later get money and buy him exclusive cheap vodka because he helped and he is laughing so much because he used to do it too

alcohol is every way to show your gratitude at uni remember this

matteo’s students council has this funny small room with computer and big blackboard and big windows and ofc old couch and he lets luna nap on it between labs when there is lecture or when she has no class and she appreciates this very much

it is definitely too cold when the late fall/early winter comes because those damn faculties have sucky heaters (it doesnt exist sorry wear winter jackets all the time) and matteo keeps bringing some random sweater for her because her two sweaters arent enough plus he gets her tea with vodka xDD

lets not forget about those typical students hang out parties where everyone is sitting eating pizza and drinking countless amount of whatever and the person who has the earliest bus back home loses the most fun 

lets not forget cars not starting up when its too cold and everything freezing, and snow is cool only for few hours bc then it melts and its shitty and luna got her jeans wet not once because she was running to the bus through the puddles

first sesja is kinda shit because profs keep saying that one can’t cheat from their phone or whatever but they pretend then don’t see anything and generally dont care tbh they just throw the papers or whatever 

luna passes all of her exams and when all profs decide to move their asses and insert the grades to the sots (3,0 is a blessing)

since luna passed everything matteo very not-hiding says that they gotta celebrate this and he will take her out for pizza

and pay for that

and for extra dessert

that was only first semester/first part btw

i wanna say thanks @ pink moon for helping
