AN: I have not seen the finale. I am in denial. So here is a filler chapter that is sweet and cute and happy before whatever comes next. And I will continue this story. I've come too far to walk away from it now.

“are you sure you like ash?” I asked as I rubbed circles into my stomach. I looked up to see Dan in the bathroom, trimming his beard. “We can always change it. There’s Sam. Or Tony. Or gene. Or…”

“hey.” I paused as Dan leaned in the doorway, a small smile on his face. “I like ash. Since the moment you suggested it.”

“I know. But I just feel like we didn’t actually…” I trailed off as I realized how silly what I was thinking was. The sound of the sink running had me biting my lip in thought. Dan turned off the light as he came back into the room.

“didn’t actually what?” Dan asked as he climbed into bed next to me. He put his hand over mine and smiled as our baby kicked.

“put much thought into it.” I whispered as I focused on our hands. Dan chuckled as he leaned over to kiss my head.

“I mean we searched online.” He pointed out. “Not our fault that one of the first five names to come up was the one that stood out to us the most.” Dan wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him. “I love the name ash. It’s cute. And I think it’ll be perfect for our little girl. And it works either way if she grows up and says hey I’m a boy or even hey I’m nonbinary. If she wants to keep it.” I looked up at Dan with tears. “Well shit.” He muttered before wiping the tears off my cheeks.

“don’t be sorry.” I teased. Dan blushed as he looked at me. “I know you too well Reinhold. There is nothing for you to be sorry about. That was the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.” Dan smiled as he leaned down to kiss me.

“I guess.” He whispered against my lips. Another little kick pulled us apart. “Oh everything’s fine ash. Just turning on the waterworks by being a good husband apparently.” I giggled as Dan leaned down to kiss the baby bump.

“Hard to believe there’s only three months left of this.” I whispered. Dan nodded.

“But then we’ll have a beautiful little girl to take care of.” He said. I smiled softly at him. "I honestly can't wait to meet her."

"Speaking of, we have to get to work on actually getting the things we need for her." I said. Dan nodded and grabbed my laptop. "I think somewhere I have a crib saved."

"As long as it isn't one of those IKEA disasters we'll be alright." Dan said as he looked through my bookmarks. "So this is what you do in your spare time. Good to know."

"Careful. There are birthday present ideas in there for you somewhere." I teased. Dan shot me a look and I started laughing. "I mean there are. But they're saved in a different tab."

“did you finish that baby registry thing Wyatt was talking about?” Dan asked. I nodded. “Did you put actual things in there or just a bunch of toys?”

“There’s blankets and shit in there. A changing table.” I shrugged as Dan clicked on the link. “Truth be told Wyatt helped me a lot with it. I think he added something’s for me too but I’m not entirely sure.”

“well there’s a baby carrier.” He mused as he scrolled down. “And a stroller. Did we pick a car seat yet or is there one in here?”

“that should be shipping soon. We ordered that like a week ago I think.” I said as I scanned the list. “And one of those wrap things to hold the baby to your chest. Like you had with digorno.” Dan chuckled and nodded. “Uh I think that’s about it. There’s just one thing that isn’t in there I think we need to get.”

“what’s that?” Dan asked as he set my laptop on the nightstand and settled down. I laid down on his chest and rubbed circles into his shirt.

“a teddy bear.” I said. “It’s kind a big deal in my family. My dad went nuts trying to find one for me. And my cousins did too for their kids. I don’t expect you to go crazy to find one. We can go to build a bear or something but honestly just keep your eye out for one I guess.”

“what if I told you I have one already?” Dan asked. He slowly got up and went to the closet. I watched him carefully as he came back out with a medium sized bear, brown all over with a small bow tie. I smiled as he held it out to me.

“this is perfect dan.” I said as I held it. “We might not have anything else ready but at least we have this.” Dan nodded as he got back into bed with me.

What are your thoughts on Ratio as a teacher? I want to say that he's not as much of a demon in the classroom as some ppl interpret him as but also I'm not sure if I'm not making him too nice

i'm sure ratio's "3% pass rate" is just a number arbitrarily picked to make him sound super strict, the same way earning 8 doctorates at the age of [vague anime adult] isn't meant to make real world sense, but my favorite pastime is overthinking anime and video game logic so:

we know ratio got into university when he was still in highschool. let's just say he didn't bother with a bachelor's and went straight for doctorates from the start. doctorates normally take a long time to earn, but he's clearly not meant to be as old as welt looks; he's in his 30s at most. his character stories say he's taught 52 courses so far, and if professors teach ~5-ish per semester, he's been teaching for roughly 10 years (while earning 8 doctorates himself. veritas ratio where the fuck do u find the time).

so if he's 30 years old, he started teaching at 20 with maybe 1 or 2 doctorates under his belt - and, again, assuming he went straight from student to teacher without being a TA or anything first, because [screaming at all these hypotheticals].

if you've ever met a 20-year-old or remember being a 20-year-old yourself, you will know that they are fucking insufferable. having just endured the most trying ordeal of their lives (surviving being an 18-year-old), they think they have gained all the knowledge in the world and have uniquely uncovered all life's mysteries. so a 20yo ratio - who actually HAD gained significant knowledge and personally solved at least one interstellar crisis - had to have an ego approximately the diameter of saturn's rings. showered with more praise than he could ever process, hailed as a genius and once-in-a-lifetime visionary, setting his sights firmly on joining the genius society by earning Nous' gaze, he must've been so goddamn full of himself.

THAT is the ratio whose courses had a 3% pass rate. it probably only took him 1 or 2 semesters to realize holding everyone else to his impossibly high personal standards did not, in fact, make him a good teacher. i'm sure it was a humbling experience. i bet he got bad reviews on the starrail equivalent of ratemyprofessors.com and decided to go back and earn a whole nother doctorate about it - maybe medicine, to better understand the psychology behind learning, that he might thus become a better teacher. that sounds like an extremely ratio thing to do.

10 years on he probably doesn't teach, like, psych 101. he probably teaches shit like "applied string theory." top-level post-grad capstone courses, where anyone taking the course is most of the way thru their own PhD, and if they fail his course they just need to shift subdisciplines, not flunk out of university entirely.

i hope the hubris of his old 3% pass rate haunts him tho 😊 keeps him up at night, making him wonder how many students' curiosity and drive to learn was mercilessly snuffed out by his ego 🥰

john didnt know what to do when he saw dean dote on sammy the way mary had done to dean before she’d died. the way dean always held him, brushed tears off sam’s chubby cheeks, insisted on dressing him up even when john would offer to so dean could sleep some more. he’d hoped it was just a childish fascination, something dean would grow bored of; grow out of.

instead it got worse with age, especially when sam learned to talk and walk. his vocabulary almost only consisting of “dee”’s and basic phrases. making grabby hands in whatever direction dean is in every time dean would have to set him down for even a second. it was a damn near miracle john was able to separate them when it came time for school.

sam was never a crier, just a sniffler. he’d spend hours rubbing the snot off his little nose and chin, his face practically bright pink from the emotions he didnt know how to handle while his fists sat balled up in his lap. sam would just wait, far too patient for a two year old, not even bothering to touch his toys. john tried to fill in when he was there, to fill as much of the six year old’s shoes as he could manage. it didnt do much, sam’s mood only worsening as the week went on.

luckily four seemed to be a turning point, the small child no longer a toddler and able to understand the concept of dean not being able to spend every second of every single day with him. john thought it would’ve gotten better after that, that sam would separate himself from dean some.

john hoped that sam going to kindergarten and meeting other kids could possibly help, too, but by the time sam was five, all he wanted was to be dean. every time he saw the kids, it’d look as if they were trying to crawl into each other’s skin. john would get back from a hunt to see them watching cartoons on the couch, dean holding sammy close with his hands shoved under his baby brother’s shirt while sam’s face was nuzzled against the juncture of dean’s neck. it shocked him more than anything he’d ever seen on a hunt before, anything he’d seen in the army. neither asleep, just quietly breathing in what was practically each other’s air in a position that was too close to be just anything. john walked behind the couch, ruffling dean’s hair to ask if they’d eaten yet. dean had made the two of them something already, and john had left them alone again quickly after to go out to a bar. maybe call bobby.

[blaithnne]

Johanna would kill them, but she sees them up to nonsense like this at least once per day and is no longer phased.

Some body type references and notes I wanted to make, especially before I redraw some of my old pieces (plus, a bit of him as an adventurer having a crisis of a realization), and also just personally how I HC the change between stormblood to now based on some in game refs I've been looking at.

[anxiousapplepie]

huh. is there a reason that T!Odile would be in the loops for so long?

No special reason! but you gotta admit if Odile was stuck in a timeloop she'd be very thorough and wouldn't give up perusing something until it's logical (and illogical) end! Even if she knew how to get out, would she do it right away? Wouldn't she procrastinate a little, just to take advantage of the situation even if it drove her to insanity? >:3c

AN: hi. its been a while. I'm combining a few episodes so bare with me.

I rested against Dan as we waited for Roz. He was rubbing circles into my arm as I dozed off. Abbie looked over at us and my phone buzzed. Dan chuckled as I snuggled closer to him and ignored it.

"So have you two decided on a name?" She asked. I nodded. Dan rolled his eyes as he pressed a kiss to my head.

"Yes and no." He said. I shrugged as I sat up.

"We both agree on one name. Ash. But I like Alex. He likes Jesse." I said, stretching slightly. "Which means we're probably going to go with Ash." Dan nodded in agreement.

"Ash is a good name. Use it Fielding." Roz said, making Dan smile. He got up to go hug her. "You better be there for that kid Dan. Otherwise I'll come find you." She stuck her finger in his face and all he could do was shake his head at her. I smiled as I watched the interaction. Roz glanced at me and smiled. "And remember I'm expecting you to keep him in line. This man better put in the work."

"Oh you know I wouldn't let him slack off." I laughed as she came over to hug me.

"You're practically glowing." She whispered. "I don't know how you could let him do this to you but I'm glad you both are happy." I nodded as she broke away to talk to Abbie. Dan came back and kissed me softly.

"We still going to ask her?" I whispered. Dan nodded.

"No better person honestly." He said. "I mean Abbie would have but I honestly prefer her as an older sister at this point." I giggled and smoothed my hands over his suit jacket.

"She really has become your adoptive daughter hasn't she?" I asked. Dan blushed as he shrugged.

"I don't think Harry would let me get away with anything less." He admitted. I nodded. "I love you." I hummed happily as he kissed me.

"I love you too." I whispered. "Now go do your work thing. I'll go talk to Roz." Dan nodded and turned when she came back into the courtroom.

"How'd it go?" He asked. She shrugged and squeezed his arm.

"Abbie's gonna make it work." She said. Dan nodded. "But again thank you for the offer of a loan." I smiled softly as I remembered that particular conversation Dan had sat me down for. "Seems like Harry left more than just his good sense here." The two of them turned to look at Abbie.

"Yeah. Its still a little strange without him here but with her..." Dan shook his head and Roz nodded in agreement.

"I'm gonna stick around. Maybe the three of us can catch up once tonight is over." Roz said before looking over at the next defendants. "Or maybe I'll just hang out in the cafeteria."

"What..." Dan turned to follow her gaze. "Oh for fuck's sake." He muttered when he saw the Wheelers.

"Mr. Fielding!" The couple waved at Dan, bright smiles on their faces as I finally slid off Dan's desk.

"On that note, I'm gonna head out." I said, guiding Dan back to look at me before kissing him softly. "Don't kill them. Just get through this and everything will be fine." Dan nodded before kissing me again. Roz offered me her arm and I took it as we walked out of the courtroom. "They keep coming back and I swear if I hadn't seen the evidence I would think they were nuts."

"Oh I've seen the evidence and I still think they're nuts." Roz laughed. She found us a table before going to grab a coffee. I chewed on my lip as I tried to think about how I wanted to word the request Dan and I were going to made of her. A small bottle of juice was put in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Penny for your thoughts?"

"Just trying to think something through." I shrugged. "Before I chicken out, Dan and I wanted to ask you something." Roz nodded as she looked me over.

"Out with it then." She waved at me as she drank her coffee. I took a deep breath and steeled my nerves.

"We were wondering if you would be the godmother. To Ash." I said. Roz gave me a surprised look.

"I would have thought you would ask Abbie." She said. I nodded.

"I will admit we considered her. But in all honesty she would be more like the older sister. Dan has practically adopted her at this point." I shrugged. Roz laughed.

"And you're ok with that?" She asked. I nodded with a smile.

"Honestly yeah." I said. "The way Dan is, I figure this is practice for Ash's teen years. Besides. I think the two of them need each other almost as much as Dan and I need each other." Roz smiled.

"So you see it too." She played with her coffee cup. "If that is what the two of you really want, then I guess I could do it." Roz nodded. "All I'd have to do is help take care of the kid right?"

"Pretty much." I shrugged. "Well I assume so. My godparents were basically babysitters." Roz nodded.

"Mine were too." She agreed. "Well you can bet I'll be there as more than just a babysitter to this kid." I smiled at her as she reached over and squeezed my hand. We fell into a comfortable silence after that. When break rolled around, Dan came and sat down next to me. He greeted me with a kiss before taking a seat next to me.

“so…roz…” Dan said, shifting slightly as he put his arm over my shoulders. “Did uh (Y/N) ask you…”

“as much as I like seeing you uncomfortable like this,” roz teased. “Yes they did. And I agreed. But I’m not just going to be a babysitter whenever you feel like it fielding.” Dan smiled at her and reached over for her hand.

“I wouldn’t dream of it.” He assured her. “Thank you roz. Really. It means a lot to us. To me.” I smiled at the two of them before squeezing dans thigh.

“how’s it going with the wheelers?” I asked. Dan sighed and let his head fall onto my shoulder.

“I made a bet with Julianne. That I could take any case and beat her. I almost had it too. But they opened their mouths and I lost.” He sighed. I started to run my fingers through his hair as I chuckled.

“that’s what you get for betting on the wheelers.” I teased. Dan groaned.

“you should know better Dan. You know them better than anyone.” Roz joined in.

“oh great. Now there’s two of them.” He grumbled as he sat up. I leaned into him as he wrapped an arm around my waist, hand on my stomach.

“that’s right fielding. And soon there’ll be three.” Roz laughed. “Your worst nightmare.” Dans head found my shoulder again as I laughed.
