michigan cherry // part six

summary: walking into a saloon in a nowhere town, billy meets a singer who he just can't get off his mind after she slips through his fingers; onto another town, another show- following nothing but the stars in her path. until he sees her again. another nowhere town and equally dusty saloon, but this time, the band of kids who made up her family is nowhere to be found. he's running away from something, and she is storming full speed toward something else, and tangling into each other's lives may just get both of them exactly where they want to be.

You thought that you might have heard somewhere that music is to the soul as opium is to a stubborn cough.

Or, maybe you dreamt that. Regardless, you knew for certain now that it was bullshit. But, with nowhere else to place your heartache, you found yourself sitting by a fire nearly every night with your guitar in your lap, humming soft words under your breath and plucking the strings as gently as you could.

It was for work, yes, but like opium, you had long since become addicted to the routine. Billy had too.

"You can play a little louder, y'know." He hums, tossing a broken twig into the campfire that separates you. "I was promised music in exchange for my services."

"And you get your music." You chuckle, hand pressed over the strings to stop their hum. "You haven't missed a show in almost two months, that ain't enough?"

"Sure, I'm just sayin' don't hold back your practice on my account. I'm happy to listen again." He answers with a soft smile, the yellow glow from the flames warming his features and bathing him in light.

You can't help the matching twitch of your lips to return his, feeling the slight burn in your cheeks that you can't confidently attribute to either the fire or your own blushing. "Well, it ain't much to listen to yet. Not finished."

"Ah, somethin' new?" Billy asks, leaning back on his palms and watching you expectantly as you give him a slight nod.

You're leaning over your guitar to scribble in that little notebook of yours, the pencil almost nothing more than a little nub in your hands and the pages of the book almost filled to the brim with words and notes. The temptation he faces every day to just grab it while you're sleeping or out away from the camp on a little walk has become an almost unbearable curiosity.

Because yes, he loves the songs you do sing, but what he wouldn't give to hear the ones you don't.

Billy would dive at any opportunity to see just a little more into your beautiful mind.

"Yeah, kinda." You hum in response, distracted again by the strings of your guitar effectively wrapping around your heart and your fingers and dragging your attention back to it.

"Okay, then, let me hear what you have so far."

You hate doing that, normally. You would hardly even play incomplete songs for your family when they were around- that awkward moment where you just have to trail off and go "Um, that's all I have..." and try to laugh but not too awkwardly was something painful.

But, this was Billy. Something about him compelled you to agree.

The problem was, the song you were currently meddling with the idea of may or may not be about him. You'd like to confirm with yourself that no, it is not about Billy, but damnit- he's the only person in your life. What else were you meant to write about?

You look down at the pages next to you, narrowed eyes reading over your own writing.

'Perfect, easy, so good to me. So why's there a pit in my gut, in the shape of you'-

Nope, nope, no. He's not hearing that.

You could deny all you wanted that the unfinished song was about him, try and claim to yourself that it was about Max- but deep down you knew the direction it was going.

You flick through the most recent pages, trying to spark your memory of something safer.

'Tart and sweet like a wild berry Tart and sweet your words to me Dark and red like a Michigan cherry Dark and red as the Iliad sea Here we lie in the deep night ready Here we lie, our skin is bare'-

That's definitely not going to work either. Your cheeks get somehow hotter and you clear your throat, flipping the page again.

Okay, this is much better.

"Like I said, it ain't done, so... not much to it yet, but..." You say, clearing your throat and avoiding his eyes as you quickly scan the new page again and position your fingers over the guitar strings.

Billy gives you a steeled nod, sitting up a little straighter ready to listen as if he would be a judge of the quality of your music. It was a joke, you both knew it. He knew he couldn't come up with a critiquing word toward your music if he was held at gunpoint and forced to try.

"Nobody knows where they are going Oh, how we try to wrap our minds Over the edge of all our knowings Be it a bang or the divine Tip of my iceberg blues are showing I've never been one for goodbyes So, 'til I meet you there, I'm singing A traveling song to ease the ride And so you know, everywhere I roam I'll see you on the road."

Your voice is steady, focussed on getting it out rather than dwelling on the meaning of the words and Billy could tell.

"So farewell to my friend, He who taught me to love like a beast And to feast like the queen that he fed turtle soup Little boy from Paris to the States, check the facts That was Magical Max He was black sheep and mischief and love for his craft..."

His heart leaps at the little laugh that falls from your lips at the memory of your friend, your fingers slowing their strum to a steady halt. He doesn't expect you to continue, but you do, your smile quickly fading again back into an attempt at indifferent focus.

"Then he told me that I was starlights that shine On that very last day, he said "Shoot for your dreams, little girl, to the stars" Well, I'm taking you with me Now this one is ours and I know what you'd say you'd say "On with the show!" So on we go."

How embarrassing it is to almost cry singing a song that isn't done, for your best friend who would never live to hear it. Whose memory deserved to be shared. It wouldn't get very far if you couldn't even share it with one person; if you couldn't even stomach finishing it.

"Um, so... I'm not sure about chording for that last bit, or honestly the lyrics. I think it feels better without the guitar, but..." You say quickly, focussing yourself on your book and pretending to scribble something in it just so you wouldn't have to look at the boy sitting across the fire from you.

"I think it's perfect." Billy tells you, a softness to his tone you only had the pleasure of hearing once in a blue moon.

What he meant to say was that it's beautiful, that it's a flawlessly fitting tribute that he felt lucky to hear, that when sung by an angel's voice like yours he didn't doubt for a second that your friend Max had heard it from beyond the veil and loved it too. Even unfinished.

None of that was what came out though, essentially awestruck the way he always was at your shows- but this time he was able to actually speak to you after hearing it instead of just clapping, whistling, or if he was lucky, catching your gaze with a smile and a corny thumbs up that told you he thought you were doing great. Not that you needed it.

"Thanks." Your sweet voice replies, watching him for a moment you determine to be too long before your focus is back on the notebook next to you. "Anyway, um, if you want to hear something else unfinished, this one I think is going to be kind of funny."

"Show me what you've got, then."

Billy simply couldn't resist anymore.

Sitting absentmindedly on a hay bale in a barn where a local owner was gracious enough to let the two of you stay, that damned notebook seems to be glowing right in his face from the sunlight streaming through some bullet holes in the wood paneling that made up the side of the stable.

It's taunting him, he's sure of it.

This stare-down has been going on for about ten minutes since you left it out on the ground next to your guitar to go use the homeowner's washbasin to clean up when his wife offered- you weren't going to turn down a bath that wasn't in a creek.

That would probably take you a while though, you'd likely savour it, so he could just take a look. You'd sing him pretty much anything asked, and what could possibly be more vulnerable than that song you wrote about Max that you shared with him a couple of weeks ago? Surely you wouldn't mind all that much. On the off chance you ever found out. Which, of course, you wouldn't- because he would put it right back where it was after just skimming it.

It's not Billy's fault your handwriting just looks so pretty and you're a poet without publication privileges- it would just be a waste if no one ever read your pretty musings written oftentimes to no one.

And still, he convinces himself again, that you would never know.

He gets up and studies the book to make sure he could put it back down at the right angle before picking it up, hands gentler than they have ever been- like he was touching his mother's precious crystal vase, a wedding gift that had been long lost to time in several moves across the sea and then the country.

He opens the notebook and immediately he can see how you've grown since this book was first picked up by your delicate hands. How your print has changed from beginning to almost end, the pages all wrinkled from spills and humidity and time.

How lucky, he thinks, to be chosen by you for this journey of your life. Why does he feel so much camaraderie for a book?

He skims the pages, delighted to see that it isn't just full of words but drawings too; the sweetest most delicate doodles of little things like your guitar or a flower here and there squeezed in amongst the words on the pages. The amount of talent one young woman could possess astounded him, it's shocking that it doesn't drip out of your every pore in the very black ink that you use to write. 

He can't help smiling a little to himself as he reads the scrawled titles and lyrics to songs he recognizes and he can practically hear your beautiful voice singing every word he's already heard.

'A boy who's nice that breathes- I swear, he's nowhere to be seen.'

That was the funnier song you sang to him those odd weeks ago, and just remembering the small laugh that fell from your lips as you sang the words makes him chuckle too as he reads it.

You had told him you wrote it with Sarah, and he could tell- based on the two distinctive styles of handwriting squeezed onto the small page.

He begins to realize as he flips through the pages of the small tattered notebook resting in his lap, that you had been dating the pages. Finished songs had dates of beginning and completion going back a little over a year, and he figures this must not be the first one you've gone through.

Billy comes to the near back of the notebook, as much as he would love to spend all day reading every word you'd ever translated turning your life into poetry or ballads of melodic storytelling, he knew his time was limited.

One song in particular catches his attention, though.

'So high that I am floating, So good that I'm out of my head. So low baby I was hurting, you made it better again.

Oh, we got caught in a moment, and I'll lay with you all night. So good that now I'm hoping you'll hold me down for life.

I adore, I adore, I adore you.'

The corners of his lips twitch up in a smile as he reads the words, scribbled out and rewritten several times in some places.

It's unfinished, but dated to have been started a couple of weeks ago. He remembers you had asked him what the date was that day, and saw you write it down as he answered- your hair falling over your face and brushing your shoulders as it shielded the book from his view.

A couple weeks ago.

And the drawing- oh, how his heart flutters in his chest so quickly it feels like his ribs have transformed into a sparrow's cage.

To Billy, it looked like him. He knew he must be thinking crazy, after all, it had been a while since he had had a proper look in a mirror, but it sure felt like he was right now- down to the little feathers on his hat and the shape of his cupid's bow. You had given yourself away with the scope of your artistic faith.

"What are you doing?"

At the sound of your voice, slightly hesitant as you stand in the entrance to the barn, he slams the book shut and jumps just about a foot in the air; a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"N-nothing! I just, it just- um..." It was still clutched in his hands, already weary of parting with the precious object of your affections. "It, um... It fell, and I- I just picked it up, and-"

When he looks up at you, you look mildly horrified; cheeks burning the same way his are and eyes blown wide like you had been the one who was caught doing something wrong.

Neither of you move, both frozen on the spot, terrified of the next words that might fall from the lips of the other.

You weren't about to incriminate yourself by asking in a shaky voice if he had read or looked at any of it, knowing he did, and he wasn't going to ask if that song or any others he skimmed (and wish he took more care reading) were about him like he hoped they were.

After a moment of staring at each other like both of you were hostages with guns to your head respectively, you both decide to make the first move at the exact same time. He quickly holds the book out to you at the very moment you reach out to take it, and the awkward exchange makes you want to curl up under the hay bale you were meant to sleep on and rot there.

4) Do you create things? What do you make? (Again, snzfic, art, wavs, videos etc)

I write, actually! I've done things in the past before I forgot about the blog >_> and I just posted a particularly sneezy start to a longish original fic. (That link will take you to the series, in case I have more pieces when someone checks it out.) I do a little art, but my style is FAR too recognizable by vanillas who've seen me so. Just snzfic. Unless, I suppose, I start into doing like, mood boards. I do love those.

5) What are some of your favorite tropes / themes?

Off the top of my head.... sneezing while hiding was a favorite since forever, but it's evolved into more... desperately trying not to sneeze regardless of reason? Maybe they don't want to wake someone, maybe they know they'll fit if they do "it won't be just one"? sucker for that. Maybe they're just tired and their nose won't give them any peace. It's just so good?

in line with this, "trying to maintain politeness" - and then getting home, perhaps into the arms of a lover, and just losing it.

One person having the kink, and the other person being persuaded that, even if they don't get it, it's sure af hot how it works / turns on their partner.

I can talk about this for so long but there are other questions. MOVING ON.

7) What is your dream scenario, either to read / see or hear / watch in real time?

Okay so less moving on than thought. I love your question combos though! Right on the nose. ;) So my dream scenario... I haven't actually articulated this before, huh. Well here we go. Leaning into Partner A having a cold. It's not horrible so much as they're exhausted; they've been sneezing all day, their nose is already a definite pink - not red, it doesn't hurt exactly but it's so sensitive and a little tender and A is just done. Only A can't sleep. They're a little congested and even though they can still breathe alright, they've got this insidious tickling just crawling in their sinuses. More than once they've had to press the back of their hand, or a knuckle or a hanky, to their nose, hitchy and irritated and it just gets worse as the hours pass. After all that, sometime when it's dark and beyond frustrating, they make a tiny miserable sound and B is up immediately. The little huff of frustration at having woken B despite all that effort is the last straw. They sneeze and sneeze and sneeze, but it's different with B to take care of them. Perhaps they're up a little longer, tea and a bit of cold but soothing salve on the cold-pinkened tip of A's nose. They go back to bed, and A finally falls asleep with their head on B's chest. Something like that.

13) What snz-adjacent things do you love? EX: handkerchiefs, tissues, warm blankets, stolen hoodies, comfort items etc.

Really big fan of tissues / handkerchiefs so long as they're not used for mess. I cannot with mess.

Warmed blankets, or hot towels after a shower

Tea. Hot tea in a big mug.

Comfort items! Favorite mugs, favorite shows / books / music, stolen clothes that smell like their partner...

15) What are your top favorite ways to engage with your kink, by which I mean reading, looking at art, listening to .wavs / videos, browsing tumblr / forums etc.

Talking about "outside" things, I do a lot of reading and browsing Tumblr for it. I've been turned off for most available group things of late, but Tumblr's nice. I'd do Discord group servers but I shrink when there's a group.

However I adore writing it, or shooting ideas with friends, or even rp if someone is likeminded enough.

16) What are your top two (you can add more, but at least two) things you like to do most on snzblr? EX: creating new things, enjoying things other people made, sharing headcanons, lurking etc

Making / sharing things I've written or thought about

Seeing what everyone else is up to. Seriously, I am a voracious reader and this stuff has so much reread value, if you get me.

17) What was the tipping point that made you want to make a fetish blog?

Getting disconnected from the forum, honestly, as well as not really being a blogger in the older ways of LJ, IJ, DW etc. I just.... missed the life of the community, and I missed sharing my work. I'm hoping to make some friends but we'll see.

19) What would you like to see more of, and are you trying to promote / add more of that into the community?

Interaction! I don't know how much was here already, I've sharply curated my blog, cutting out people no longer active, still looking for more people to follow. I'm a writer, I thrive on interaction - it actually makes me produce more work. Happy brain chemicals, man, don't underestimate them. Ha!

Thanks so much for the ask, this was fun!

[emperor-palpaminty]

Upcoming things:

A Master post (hopefully!!)! This will take a lot longer because I have so much stuff to go through, lol.

Cat and Mouse Part 4!! I know!! Eee!

A continuation of Rayshe'a! I've missed this fic and Fives. I'm thinking of rewriting the first few chapters to be more cohesive, though.

(NSFW) A Call of Duty Ghost x Reader fic! Essentially it's a scavenger hunt but there's sexual tension.

(NSFW) I haven't given Din Djarin love in a while. Anyways.

I'm so happy that I'm motivated and inspired to be back! I'll get a couple longer fics out, and then the inbox will be open for drabbles and one shots!

Hi! Can you explain what your Semiotics Verse is? Eee! 🖤

Yes!! I feel like I always end up talking about it in gesture but haven't, like, info-dumped about the series as a whole ever. It was originally borne out of dual fic ideas after finishing season 4. The first one was "what if Robin coming out was Steve's gay awakening?" (which became phryctoria) and what was supposed to be an entirely separate fic idea of a 5 + 1 Steve flagging fic. Except then my rat bastard of a brain was like "what if those two things exist in the same universe and what if you write a whole series exploring queer culture and signifiers and give all of the fic titles in the main series titles based on different kinds of semaphore/telecomms/cryptographic systems" because I'm an insane person with worms for brains.

Wayfinder (my Lucas POV s4 fix-it) is technically a part of the same universe, but won't be a part of the "main" series. I had already wanted to do a season 4 rewrite that treated Lucas and Erica with more respect than the show ever lends them, and for the main 'verse I needed to work out how closely I was or wasn't hewing to canon, so Wayfinder will basically establish where the universe is diverging from canon while allowing me to focus on Lucas, my best boy. I may end up writing bits and pieces of that Season 4 rewrite from other POVs eventually, because I'm planning to change a lot about how the events of Vol 2 go, and only some of those things will really be visible from a Lucas POV, but Wayfinder is my baby.

The series as a whole will mostly be Steve-centric, with a heavy Stobin focus, along with some Steddie. A lot of stuff post-flag the play is still a little up in the air and is constantly changing, but the idea is that the series as a whole will explore queer culture and community in Indianapolis + found family dynamics.

Series features (things in italics subject to change):

Will and Steve gay bonding

potential byler?

Slutty!Steve

leather

AIDS Activist + Sex shop worker & Sex Educator + Queer Youth shelter volunteer Steve (the boy is doing too much)

They're [Steddie] switches, bitches! (in both sense of the word)

awkward Rockie flirting

Smithie!Robin

an epistolary Stobin fic

NoHo Pride

Robin & Nancy east coast bonding

Lavender marriage/queerplatonic Stobin

so many OCs

Steddie + Rockie and/or Ronance duplex living

Steve's six little nuggets [exact kid count subject to change]

The 90s

queer intimacy + non-monogamy

info-dumping about queer history

no seriously i have an annotated bibliography planned and a whole Notion database of research

demiromantic lesbian Nancy Wheeler

Edancy bonding

Steve and Robin Share A Gender

SO BADLY?? THE CONCEPT IS SO BRILLIANT?? also idk why but u have completely disappeared from my feed😭😭 idk maybe its cause i disappeared from Tumblr for a few weeks and came back just a few days ago💃🏻 BUT WHY DID THAT AFFECT YOUR POSTS SHOWING UP ON MY FEED??

EEE stop you're so cute!!! I'm so glad we maybe vibe with it, because it could def be so fun!!!

Also don't worry, it wasn't too long ago, maybe a week!!! And I'm so glad you've been taking a step back when you need it!!! Honestly, I haven't been on as much as usual so maybe that's it!! I'm just hiding on your dash HAHAH BUT THIS IS SO CUTE OF YOU, HOW ARE YOU?? THANK YOU FOR SAYING HI 😭💞💞

[fl3sh34t3r]

(Ooc: eee idk who made that ask but if u really want to create one, then go for it!! I also made the enidan blog for fun and i do make art for most of her responses [not all but most] and i find it quite fun honestly to think of responses and things like those- if you're sure you can handle an art/regretevator ask blog and you want to do it, then i dont see a problem :b however pls remember you may get some weird and uncomfortable asks once in a while :( i feel like that's something important you have to remember before making an ask blog- because there will always be some people making asks like those even if u say you're not comfortable. i haven't received any currently however i did see many ask blogs talking about how they received nsfw asks or things like those- of course you can try to block the person and/or not have anons available [usually people who make those kinds of asks always put themselves anonymous,,,] but please take that into account before making an ask blog!!

most importantly, please make sure you're okay as well!! Mental health comes first and if you need a break from an ask blog for a while, then please do !! this also goes for any of u guys, pls take breaks if you're not feeling well :D

that's all :3 sorry for the very long post btw,,,;D i just wanted to say this for anyone who wants to make any kind of ask blog!!)

I'm really contemplating about turning my blog into an art/regretevator ask blog bc all the characters I like in the game have people that do NOT act like the characters, do NOT relate to the game, and just act like they do on a daily basis. Should I turn mine into an ask blog?

Ooc: a i dunno why u ask me! but its kinda up to you, i made a Folly rp blog (Melanie and Gnarpy one too) for fun and something to motivate myself incase i'm bored. and like, if u think u can handle an art/regretevator ask blog without losing motivation then go on ahead! i'm not entirely sure what to really tell you here, have a good day little anon!

You Make Me Smile

Summary: Peter 1's been struggling so Peter 3 offers to help ❤️

CW: Mentions of depression/depressive episodes

(Sorry I haven't posted much writing in a while ❤️ My life has been crazy busy and I just haven't had the time or energy to do so ❤️ I'm back, I'm working on some prompts that I'll be able to post soon, and I just want you to know how appreciated you all are :) Hope you all enjoy and remember to take care of yourselves no matter how small the task may seem ❤️)

Peter 3 peeked into One's room. For the last couple weeks, One hadn't been himself. He had been super quiet and withdrawn, there were big circles under his eyes, and he didn't seem to be taking proper care of himself.

It was as if all the energy had been removed from his body and left nothing but a silent husk of a person in it's place.

Both Peter 2 and 3 were trying to help, but nothing they tried seemed to do any good.

Today, the youngest had been particularly quiet. "Uno? You okay?"

The youngest Peter did not reply.

The middle Peter pushed the door open more. "Could I come in?"

There was still no reply, but he also wasn't turned away this time.

Peter 3 stepped up to the bed. Currently, One was buried under a blanket with only a few tufts of hair peeking out.

"Hey Bug." The middle Peter sat on the edge of the bed. "Having another rough day?"

A face peeked out from the depth of the blanket and gave a quick nod.

"You've had a crazy past couple weeks." Three squeezed roughly were One's arm was. "Your mind being tough on you again?"

Another tiny nod.

"I've been there before and I know it can be tough. Is there anything I can do to help?"

For a moment, things were quiet.

Then a hand slid out to grab onto Three's.

The older Peter smiled. "Want me to hold you?"

Peter 1 moved to sit up still keeping one hand on Three's.

The tallest Peter cooed as he scooped his baby brother into his lap. "C'mere."

Once in his older brother's lap, Peter 1 curled into a ball.

Three rubbed circles into the youngest's back. "There we go. A good cuddle."

While Three kept up his circles, the youngest wrapped his arms around his brother and buried his face into his chest.

"I'm here if you need me Bug."

One hummed in contentment.

The older Peter lifted the hood of his baby brother's jammies over his head. "Simba."

In response, Peter 1 hid his face more into Three's chest.

"Whahat's wrong Bugaboo?" The older brother traced the youngest's ear with his finger.

One turtled into his shoulders.

"Uh-oh. You're not ticklish are you?"

No verbal response. Just the eyes on One's hood staring back at Peter 3.

Three moved his hand down to run his fingers over Peter 1's back. "Ihim getting the goofiest lohooks from yohou Sihimba."

One turtled even further into his shoulders.

"Ooo. I think Ihi hahave a ticklish lion cub ohon my hands."

Peter 1 tightened his hold as his shoulders began to shake a little.

"You're tryhying soho hard to keep your face hiddehen." Peter 3 leaned closer. "But I can stihill feel yohou bluhushing."

No response.

"Oh? Did it just darken?"

The youngest shook his head.

"Then why don't you show mehe." The older brother dragged his nails across One's shoulder blades.

A muffled squeal came from the youngest's mouth as he tried to arch his back away from those fingers.

Meanwhile, Peter 3 reached behind him to try to loosen One's grip. "Come out, come out wherever you are!"

"No!"

Three paused his movements. "No?"

A head shake. "Noho!"

"You don't want me to see your blushy face?"

"Noooo."

"Is thahat all yohou can sahay?" Three's fingers continued their attack on One's shoulder blades. "No, no, noho?"

"Eee! No!"

The same hand snuck down to lightly pinch One's sides. "Really? Is it just too tickly?"

"N-n-noho."

"Oh?" Peter 3 moved the pinches to the other side. "What about over here?"

A squeal followed by a head shake was the answer this time.

"Is one side more ticklish than the other?" Peter 3 lightly pinched between both sides.

One squirmed a little too much and revealed his face.

"Ihi knew you were blushyhy." Three tapped the youngest's nose. "Youw were juwst being stubbowrn."

One shook his head.

"Now you're lying toho mehe?" Three returned to dragging his fingernail on one of One's ear. "What's gotten into you giggle Bug?"

The youngest curled up on his side. A continous stream of giggles filled the silence in the room and the happiness on his face replaced the dead stare that had been there.

It filled Three's heart feel all warm and fuzzy to see the look. He knew the brain could be a pain in the butt and having a chance to be goofy and childish helped make things a little easier to tolerate. "You're such a cute little Giggle Bug. Soho itty-bitty tiny."

Suddenly, Peter 1 shot up and wrapped his arms around Peter 3's neck.

The sudden movement caused the older Peter to fall backwards onto the bed. "Wow! What ahare you dohoing?"

Peter 1 nuzzled his face into Three's neck, catching the older brother by surprise.

"Ah! Hehey!"

The mischievous giggles coming from the youngest made the whole interaction even more adorable. And that little grin made him even more precious.

Peter 3 let One have a few more moments being the tickle monster before he retaliated.

The older brother pinched along his baby brother's sides. "I got you!"

With a squeal, the youngest Peter tried to lean away, but an arm prevented him from going very far.

"Where do you think you're going hm?" Peter 3 lightly scribbled across his baby brother's tummy. "Does the little baby not like his tickles?"

Peter 1 shook his head.

"Awww, does he love them?"

"Nohoho!"

"What? Is the tickle monster not doing it right?"

"Noho!"

Three pulled the youngest closer. "Let's fix that."

A loud squeal left the youngest's mouth as his older brother's face nuzzled into his neck. The whiskery feeling from his unshaven face made things even more ticklish.

Not knowing what to do with his hands, One grabbed onto Three's hair.

"Ah!" Peter 3 grabbed One's hand. "Careful Bug."

The youngest Peter let go. "Sorry."

"Hehey, it got you to say something other thahan noho."

One stuck his tongue out at his brother.

Three growled as he leaned closer. "Are you being a sassy bean?"

A brief pause.

"No!"

The older brother tried to bite back his smile, but it was hard when he had such a cute face in front of him. "You know whahat I do to sassy beans?"

One shook his head.

"You don't?"

"No!"

"Wehell then." Three rested his forehead on his baby brother's. "Why don't Ihi show you?"

Before Peter 1 could respond, Three started peppering kisses into his face and neck. In addition, he made sure to rub every inch of his facial hair over the area to make it tickle even more.

Once Peter 1 was a blushy giggle mess, Three finally paused his tickles. He grinned at the sight of his bubbly baby brother. "Aww, whose the most pwecious wittwe baby?"

"N . . . Noho?"

"Are you ahasking me ohor telling mehe?"

In response, One pulled his hood over his eyes.

Three gasped. "Oh no! Where did he go!"

One's giggles picked back up.

"He just disappeared!" Three grabbed the edge of his hood. "Where could he have gone!"

The youngest squeezed his lips to try to muffle his giggles.

Three smirked as he pulled back the hood. "Peekaboo!"

One squeaked and hid his mouth behind his hands.

"Yohou claim you're nohot aha baby and yehet this is yohour favorite game."

"No!"

The older brother's smirk grew at the pinkish hue on his baby brother's cheeks. "Oho really?"

Both brothers were locked in a staring contest.

Without breaking eye contact, One slowly reached up his hand, grabbed his hood, and yanked it over his eyes again.

Three reached foward and quickly pulled it back again. "Peekaboo!"

Another squeal and bout of giggles followed.

"Sehee? Absolutely aha baby."

"Yohou're mehehean!"

"Awww." The older Peter kissed his brother's nose. "Are you mad cause Ihi stohopped?"

The youngest Peter hid his face in his hands.

However, that did not deter Three from pulling them back again. "Peekaboo!"

A third squeal and giggle bout betrayed the youngest.

"Yohou know whahat other things babies usuallyhy love?"

". . . Cuddles?"

Peter 3 scooped his baby brother back up into his arms. "Cuddles indeheed."

Peter 1 wrapped his arms around his brother's neck before resting his face in the crook of his neck.

"Hey Bubba?" Three rubbed his brother's back. "I know you've been going through a rough couple weeks, but when was the last time you ate something?"

One furrowed his eye brows together. He began counting on his fingers before his face flushed again.

"I know it's been tough, but you can't forget your health like that."

"I . . . I. . ."

Three stroked One's hair. "I'm not mad at you, I'm not yelling at you. I've been where you are, I've done the same thing. But I know it's not good for your body when you do something like that.

One gave a small nod as a response.

Peter 3 stood with his younger brother in his arms. "You don't need to eat anything big, but you do need to eat something."

"I know."

After a quick adjustment, Three kissed One's forehead so he could sniff his hair. He chose not to comment since he knew the last couple weeks had been rough on the youngest.

Instead, he focused on the important thing as he gave his baby brother's tummy a gentle poke. "Let's get some food in your tummy."

One giggled as he pushed on his brother's hand. "Ohokay."

"Now, what do you think you can eat?"

After a brief pause, One looked up at his brother. "Banana?"

"Why are you asking me Pete? It's your tummy."

The youngest Peter nodded. "Okay. Banana."

"Can we add anything else to it or just banana right now?"

"Yogurt?"

"We have them if you think you can eat one."

"Yes please."

Three nodded. "We can do that."

In response, One genuinely smiled.

"Want me to carry you?"

"Please?"

Three grinned back. "Okay."

With One in his arms, the older Peter headed downstairs. He knew the situation wasn't completely remedied, but it was on the right track to getting better.

They would start with a meal and move on from there.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 49. I have a few options for #50…

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 299,440. Ok, I hadn’t realized I was that close. Now, my answer to #1 might be “a new 560-word drabble.”

3. What fandoms do you write for? I’m nearly exclusively writing for Avatar: Legend of Korra, with a little bit of Last Airbender, where it fits in.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

1. Rainstorm - Su is there for Lin, for once. 2. The Well of Need - My first long-form story, with Lin taking care of Kya. 3. This is My Anchor - A mid-sized Kyalin story where Lin doesn’t make Kya take care of her. 4. I’m Sorry I Need You - An angsty one-shot that fits with a couple others in the “marriage is hard” domain. 5. Walk With Me - A longer-than-intended one-shot variant on a Tumblr joke.

5. Do you respond to comments? I do, as soon as I can. Sometimes, that means getting off work. Sometimes, that means giving a response as meaningful as the comment was to me. 

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? For complete stand-alone stories, that is likely Something Changed, where the last words are usually joyous. I can’t find the link for the worst-worst ending I have, so just pretend that never happened.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? The happiest ending? I like my happy endings, so this is tough. But I think I’ll go for Elemental Changes, because that launched my collaboration with @slowdissolve on Red Jade.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not hate, exactly. One reader informed me that I had ‘let them down’ on a follow-up story because I didn’t write the story that was in their head. 

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I’ve done a little, but it hasn’t been a focus for me. And, aside from the polyamory aspect, it’s all as vanilla as it comes.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? Not unless you count LOK + ATLA a crossover, which I don’t.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not to date.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? @slowdissolve and I wrote Moonsigns together, and we published two versions. One is told in first-person language and color coded, on Tumblr. We then followed it up with a more traditional third-person version that does not rely on color, on AO3.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? Kyalin is where everything opened up for me. 

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I’m taking quite the long view of all of this. I haven’t added to Their Sacred Year in a while, but have the outline for the next installment, so I don’t consider it abandoned.

16. What are your writing strengths? Folks seem to like my dialogue and plotting.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I struggle with the final rising action / climax / falling action, to keep the pacing appropriate to the story.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I don’t plan on it, given I am uneducated in the languages appropriate to this setting. 

19. First fandom you wrote for? Legend of Korra.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Saving the hardest for last. Naming the favorite child. Ok, fine. In that case, I’ll have to choose <wrestles with self> Elemental Changes (see #7), mostly because it’s a completely off-the-wall idea that I was able to see through and complete. And to have Slowdissolve illustrate the ending was an absolute capstone.

So I get to thank both @krastbannert and @wishingforatypewriter for their invitations!

Now, it's time to throw the floor open to folks like @yell0wsalt, @dont-blame-it-on-the-kids, @linguini17, @frogblast-the-ventcore, @badlucksav, @cdlunee, and of course,

you.

[itsthesinbin]

I've looked through a LOT of your stuff, and seen multiple references to a particular scenario in which Megatron (TFP) takes a human as a pet. And while there are several continuations, such as what if the human escaped, I haven't been able to find the original fic that started it all. Is there any chance you MIGHT have a link to it, or is it lost to time?

http://itsthesinbin.tumblr.com/post/151781379514/eee-i-forgot-what-an-extreme-thing-i-have-for

I believe that’s the original Megatron scenario! It’s at the very end of my “human pets” tag.

[dancingdeacy]
