an eremika idea

so—————i was walking the other day and suddenly an scene popped into my head, which is: best friends to lovers eremika in cohabitation

"So... you sure it's not a problem?", Eren asks as he leaves his pillow on the sofa. She's watching—Mikasa, that is—, with a confuse stare, brow slightly arched, and turns around to her kitchenette mumbling something like what does he mean. "Like—", Eren clears her throat. "Me staying with you, and so on."

She stills. Subtly, could even miss it. He doesn't, though. She's been strange since he told her of what happened—figures it is because even though Mikasa is his best friend, she also liked Historia. A proper girlfriend, she said back then. Back too many years ago, when—

"Of course I don't", Eren hears her say now. She tiptoes, her fingers graze a cupboard and open it, and she takes two tea mugs, and he remembers the print of one of them—wings, birdlike, and how this was his mug for so many years, has continued to be his mug when he came here with Historia, too. "It's just sudden. I don't know what could've made you—you know. Break up. Like—"

"Yeah", Eren walks slowly to her. The strip of her pajama falls down her shoulder and he hooks at it, pulls it back to where it's supposed to stay.

She doesn't move, doesn't look at him. Maybe she's really mad that he has broken up with Historia—maybe she truly liked Historia more than she liked him, in the end. But there is also the slight blush at her cheeks where the tips of her hair graze her ear, the small indicator that tell him it that his assumptions might have been right after all.

"I mean", he says as she moves to put the kettle to boil and he watches her concentration face, how she scrunches up her lips, "we are at that age, you know. No matter how you love a person... You need to think about a project. Living together—having babies, you know."

She smiles, now. Sadly. "Yeah. No, it's good you've thought about it. We've all have. We cannot lose time, now. Specially women—we are starting to age, and like..."

Mikasa turns around to finally face him—her eyes deep, wanting for answers, to get the full story. Without sobbing, maybe, Eren thinks. Without him pleading for her to let him crash on her sofa and appearing at her house half an hour later, grabbing his pillow as if his life depended on it. Mikasa and her pajamas, short and not particularly sexy although she is, their sexiest friend, Armin always said. A bit clumsy, Sasha argued. "Mikasa has an effortless beauty", Historia's voice rings inside of him—tugs at his heart, then hear, then he catches a breath, "I'm jealous".

Jealous, jealous, jealous.

"Turns out Historia didn't want any children", he spits out, opens his eyes, she's still looking at him, the kettle now fuming. "Not with me—not with anyone."

"Oh. I didn't even know you wanted children, Eren."

He watches at her—purposefully, he thinks. Although it will go over her head. She will never think this is possible. He didn't even think it was possible until Historia told him her decision—and, when she did, Mikasa's face appeared in front of her like the answer he had always been avoiding.

"I didn't know, either—until I knew."

She began to giggle, a pitched keen that echoed into the quiet surprise of the battle.

"As if that would work! I'm not human!"

She opened her eyes and the writing on it was displayed clearly: Upper Moon Six.

Ume Shabana! Quirk: Nostalgia!

The villains watched in horror as her sashes reconnected her lulling head to her body.

Instead of being asleep I’m thinking about a fic in which Bucky is a virgin male omega that had to start very early in the adult film industry in order to support his family.

Enter Steve Roger, seasoned alpha p*rn star, who very diligently shows Bucky the ropes… the only thing is that… once Bucky is ready to start performing with other fellow actors, Steve gets all possessive and finds any excuse to be the one who Bucky performs with.

🤤🥴

It's frustrating that you can come up with the plot of an entire fic in just a few seconds, but writing it all down can take anywhere from never to forever.

To me the most fun part about fix-its is placing dominoes.

Tragedies often consist of escalating series of actions and circumstances which, in isolation, were not clearly leading to the tragic end but form a chain of cause-and-effect directly towards it in hindsight. In equal but opposite fashion, I love starting with small inoccuous changes to canon that in themselves do not obviously fix everything but start a new chain that leads to a better ending.

It's kind of impossible for fix-its to feel fully natural– the reader by definition knows what the original ending was and that this ending will be happier because the writer wants it to be– but it is possible for them to not feel contrived. A big deus-ex-machina, or a character breaking with their pre-established tragic flaws to suddenly make all the "correct" decisions almost always feels unsatisfying to me.

But a few carefully placed small domino pieces slowly knocking over bigger and bigger tiles until the entire story has radically changed? That's a lot more fun.

It recquires the author to both correctly identify the original chain of cause-and-effect and understand the characters well enough to know how they'd react to different circumstances. Because if the story feels like it's fixing the wrong problem or the characters don't act like themselves the magic is lost. But when it works? When it clicks and the reader sees the domino chain laid out in front of them? It's beautiful.

It terrifies Bruce, a little, that the first time Batman and Robin pull up to a mauling victim, Robin is acutely calm.

The girl is young, and Batman and Robin were made known to the scene pretty quickly as Batman scares off the dog with a taser.

Despite being the adult, he balks a little at how well Dick handles the toddler in front of him.

Later on, when the girl is seen by paramedics and the mother is finally calmed after being assured that the only physical damage present would be some scarring on her left leg, Bruce takes Dick out for ice cream for being so brave.

Then again, Dick was the one to threaten death upon his parents' murder at the ripe age of 9.

But the incident is filed away, deep in the archives of the BatComputer.

Dick is much older, and has seen much more, but he's still calm when one of his brothers is half-torn apart by a shark on an impulsive surfing trip with their hero friends.

Everyone is panicking because as much as they'd loathe to admit, seeing something that gory is so completely different than being in costume (because being in costume means they're at the very least prepared).

But Dick is calm, and his first aid more immaculate than ever.

When someone asks him about it, how he can stay so calm, he's suddenly 7 again.

He's 7 again and watching his Uncle-not-really-uncle getting mauled by one of the sick tigers. He's watching as his father rushes to help and calms the crowd down.

When he asks his father why he was not scared, he receives this.

"I was terrified for my friend, but panic makes your hands shake, makes you slow. He did not need my fear, he needed me."

Dick tells them that.

Had to make a meme to describe me currently

[orphicmeliora]

Imagine handing divorce papers to your arranged marriage husband Zayne because the past 3 years of this marriage have been nothing but a farce and you're tired of chasing scraps of affection from a husband who's almost never home.

You leave the documents (signed from your end) in his office at Akso and skip on your way home, treat yourself to a luxury dinner, self care, a good soak in the bath all while humming under your breath. You go to bed, relieved that you'll be a free woman by the end of the week.

Except Zayne shows up in the middle of night still in his hospital scrubs kneeling by your bed (the first time he's entered your bedroom in a long while)

He clutches your hands in a death grip, tears in his eyes, begging you, "please don't leave me."

I want a Maizula Fic with more than 150,000 words.

Where Azula becomes Fire Lord at a young age because Ozai had tuberculosis (Azula contracted it later) and now he has to rule the Nation and end a war because he knows he won't survive and he doesn't want his people to die in a war to which she doesn't even go.

And all while carrying a terminal illness.

While Mai returns to the capital because she sent a letter to Azula to tell her that she needs her since she doesn't want to be in Omashu or anywhere with her parents and brother.

And then when he returns, he finds out about Azula's illness and immediately becomes her personal guard (he just wants to take care of her) and follows her everywhere.

Danny and Damian are related, with a twist.

Danny is the son of Talia Al Ghul, however he is NOT the son of Bruce Wayne. Ra’s has had his eyes on various people across the world that have either impressed him or show a unique skill set that he’d like to have. One such person was under the both categories and he got Talia to collect a DNA sample and as a result Danny was born.

This was before Bruce’s time with the League by a few years, but very quickly Danny was not meeting expectations. And by the time Bruce did show up Ra’s had lost all interest in Danny, moving on to better things.

Talia always hated Danny because she was forced to have him with a man who she never liked in the first place. Furthermore, because his skillset was lacking she found that even more reason for her distain. In her eyes, he wasn’t worth even considering her blood.

Danny, knowing that he was doomed if he didn’t make an escape, left the league sometime around when Bruce was moving up the ranks and was making waves within the organization. Perfect timing honestly, any attention he might have had was quickly gone when this prodigy showed up.

Danny escaped the League and went into hiding quickly after, settling on a rural area of the United States after bouncing around countries for a few months. This was mainly because Jasmine Fenton saw a young boy pick pocketing strangers while her family was visiting Chicago and scolded him. Her mother and father saw the boy and also lectured him to which Danny responded it was his only option (he was trying to get this loud family off his back so he could sneak away). Eventually the Fentons decide that if he has nowhere to go he might as well go with us, and Danny decides blending in with a Nuclear Family is the best way to ensure that his peaceful life away from the League stays that way. Oh how little did he know.

Flash forward a few years, Talia, who was visiting Gotham to check on Damian, sees a glimpse of a boy (now man) she thought she had forgotten. Her blood runs cold, if this abomination is in Gotham then her son is likely in danger and she would never let anything happen to Damian.

Typical role dustribution

[frownyalfred]

thinking about the expert masseuse Alfred hired for the family that is paid a small fortune annually to provide massage services and ignore so, so many things. No questions, no remarks, just quality service and an ironclad NDA that, if broken, would probably topple said masseuse’s entire family line.

Things Alfred is paying them to ignore, in no specific order:

Bruce’s spinal hardware courtesy of Bane :)

weird amounts of muscle on everyone, even the kids (despite them allegedly not working physical jobs)

scars

FRESH scars

the fact that every joint in Bruce’s body clicks when moved/manipulated at the tender age of 42

Olympic athlete level physiques

rotator cuff injuries across the whole family

scars that are definitely from bullets and/or acid splashes

old signs of what looks like torture (Bruce)

Dick’s entire left arm is basically screws and plates (he “fell really bad” once)

every single family member takes deep tissue massage with max pressure with 0 complaints

calluses

no really, the weirdest fucking calluses
