The Cake Decorating Finals were due today!!! Everything is made out of sugar (except the columns and the styrofoam cake forms, but all the piping and flowers are sugarwork) LOOK:

[bebrave-live]

Genuinely hilarious how The Pitt fans, apparently, if you go by Ao3 popularity, all looked at Mel and Langdon and went "these two need to go a 10k+ slow burn where they get closer and closer and eventually become each other's most important person in the world" and looked at Abbot and Mohan and went "these two need to FUCK HARD"

Pls consider MBJ looking between his spy and his spy's didi and just trying to make sense of these two

POV: you are Mobei Jun looking at your loyal servant glare absolute murderous daggers at you while his younger brother (that you didn't know about) is just staring at you weirdly

Super Dead Soulmates

In this universe, any injury or scar you sustain appears on your soulmate. However, for as long as he could remember, Danny never gained an injury that wasn’t his own. When he was very young, his parents would always say that he was just a late bloomer and perhaps his soulmate was a few years younger than he was and thus, just wasn’t born yet. As Danny grew older, they got more absorbed in their work and just seemed to forget about the whole ordeal. Danny never asked them about it again, afraid they might think a ghost had ‘cursed’ him or something. It was hard enough to hide the lack of additional scars at school. Luckily, most people don’t get injured very often so it was easy enough to play off some of his injuries as that from a soulmate. The only ones who knew the truth were his sister and his best friends. Danny was just convinced that he didn’t have a soulmate and had accepted that fact, even if it hurt. Then the accident happened and for once, he was thankful his soulmate wouldn’t have to feel his pain. And even more so when he started to fight the other ghosts daily. Danny was content to live like this, but with more ghost fights, his injuries started piling up. Danny excused them saying that they were from his soulmate. It didn’t completely get rid of the scrutiny but most people bought it. Afterall, how else would puny Fenton get those kinds of bruises? So for a while, that excuse worked…until someone realized that Danny and Phantom’s injuries linked up (I vote Wes). Now normally, the natural conclusion would be that Danny and Phantom were the same person. But due to the fact that one of them was dead and the other clearly alive, everyone gained a new theory…that Phantom was Danny’s soulmate. It would explain the recent injuries as Phantom was often seen fighting other ghosts. And to be honest, this was the perfect cover. It’s not like Danny had an actual soulmate who might show up and this added another layer of protection against people thinking he and Phantom were the same person. So Danny remained silent and let the rumors grow. Sure people now thought he and Phantom were dating but that was fiiiiiinnnneee. (But BOY was that an awkward conversation with his parents). 

And then Kon was born.

As a clone, all he knew from the outside was implanted into his mind. He knew the color of the sky, the sound of music, academic equations and a lot of common knowledge such as soulmates. He knew that injuries were shared between a bonded pair and that everyone had a soulmate. But he was different. He wasn't born a baby and grew up alongside another person. He wasn’t even real according to some people. Yet one day, he noticed bruises lining his arms, he was confused. He should have had impenetrable skin like Superman. As far as he could remember, his skin had never been pierced before. And it’s not like he fought a godlike being that day. He shouldn’t have any injuries. Kon decided to ignore them but the injuries kept showing up. It got so bad that his team started to notice and sat him down asking if everything was alright with his powers or if he was exposed to kryptonite somehow. So, very confused, Kon had explained that the injuries just kept showing up. It was only after his team gave him a curious look and explained the concepts of soulmates did everything click with him. Sure, Kon knew about soulmates but surely that couldn't be what this was! He was a clone! He shouldn’t have a soulmate. It was impossible! But after a few more days of observation and a bit of testing, everyone determined that this was, in fact, a soulmate bond. 

To say Kon was ecstatic was an understatement. Actually, it was a mix of excitement, nervousness, worry, and joy all rolled into one. He was elated at the idea that he had someone meant for him. Someone who would accept all of him. Kon had looked at the others and there had always been a slight jealousy when he saw a paper cut bloom on their fingers or see them rub a bruised knee fondly. 

But more than anything. He was happy because this was proof that he was real. Afterall, a soulmate wouldn’t match with him unless his soul was equal to theirs. His body almost melted with relief at that realization. A weight off his shoulders he never fully grasped was still there. 

Of course there was the worry of why exactly his soulmate had so many injuries. For a hero, it was obvious they would get injured (although they tried to have as much protective padding as possible to limit that possibility. But some injuries still got through.) Yet the amount of injuries Kon’s soulmate sustained were far more than that (because Danny lacked proper padding  and didn’t think he had to worry about a soulmate. Most injuries looked worse than they were anyways due to his fast healing). And on the contrary, Kon’s skin was perfectly clear. With his kryptonian biology, even if he got hurt, it never left a mark. So all the injuries and bruises sustained on him were purely from his soulmate. And there was enough for two people. On the bright side, it helped with his cover, on the downside, Kon started to worry about his soulmate. (Meanwhile, Danny didn’t notice a difference. Sure, sometimes he would feel a temporary ache or sharp pain but no mark was left so he just assumed the pain was sore muscles from a previous battle or that one of his rogues were hitting harder than he thought.) 

As for Kon, he and his team used every resource at their disposal to try and track down Kon’s soulmate. They did this for every member of the team as hero soulmates were in more danger than most but they paid special attention to Kon’s soulmate due to the rapid accumulation of injuries. 

Kon would fantasize on what his soulmate would be like. Would they be tall? Short? They would probably be able to fight. Boy or girl? It doesn't really matter. Kon knew opposite gender soulmates were more common but he wouldn’t mind a guy either. His days were filled with dreams of a mystery person. Someone he could hold in his arms and protect. Who would comfort him after patrols and who he could introduce to his friends. 

After a while, Tim finally found a lead. Some doctor records of a boy in a small town called Amity. Apparently he was prescribed pain medicine to help with ‘soulmate injuries’. The lost of injuries were extensive and after looking at some pictures, they realized that his scars and Kon’s scars lined up. A perfect match. So it wasn’t long before they made a quick road trip to Amity. 

This place was already on the Justice League radar. It was a town that appears to have a permanent portal to the afterlife and was attacked often. (Which might explain why Kon’s soulmate was so injured). The Justice League had not interfered yet because the town had a local hero as well. Someone who seemed good at his job and who Tim was even thinking of recruiting. So this was a good opportunity to hit two birds with one stone. Afterall, not much was known about this mysterious Phantom other than he dedicated his afterlife to protecting this one town. Once they got to Amity they would probably need to check in with Phantom before anything. And despite his impatience with finding the person who might be his soulmate, even Kon was excited to meet this hero. Apparently Phantom had vast experience but also a major power set. He might gain another flying buddy or someone he could wrestle with without worrying about his strength. Afterall, Phantom also supposedly had super strength and even if he didn’t, it’s not like you can kill a ghost. Yet no matter how hard they looked, they couldn’t find him. It was only by coincidence that they stumbled upon Danny instead and his group of friends. 

The first time Kon saw Danny, it was like coming home. He wanted to do nothing more than rush to his soulmate and hug him and vow to always keep him safe. He wanted to prove that he would be the best soulmate ever and he wanted to know everything there was to know about him. He was practically vibrating where he stood in his civilian disguise and it was only his friends that held him back from flying over and surprising the poor boy.

But before he could do anything, a ghost attacked. Kon barely had enough time to grab his friends and dodge when some kind of glowing creature crashed into a building. And while normally he would immediately find somewhere to change, Kon’s first instinct was to check on his soulmate, only to see the two people he assumed to be the boy’s friends but no sign of Danny. Frantically looking around, he didn’t notice the glowing creature behind him (was that a dragon?) but before it could reach him, another glowing figure intercepted the attack. They looked almost ethereal with white hair softly floating in the air and a suit that hugged his muscled form tightly. The figure turned around and gave a sheepish smile towards Kon. “You ok?”

And it felt like for the second time that day, Kon was rendered breathless. 

Someone was protecting him.

Someone was protecting him?

Yet it felt…nice. Warm.

Before Kon could gather his thoughts though the battle picked up in earnest. He and his team found cover and changed into their suits. When they came to help, the person Kon assumed to be Phantom looked surprised at their sudden appearance but it wasn’t long before he and everyone else started working together. Unfortunately, actually fighting the ghost seemed to be impossible. Whenever they got close, their hits just passed right through so Phantom quickly regulated them on defense and citizen protection duty. Occasionally getting a hit in when the creature was tangible. Watching Phantom fight was something. Kon could understand why he was elected to join their team. He had this sort of grace and power that couldn’t be explained in words but was clearly from the experience of many battles.

Despite not being able to do much, fighting with Phantom was fun. They seemed to be completely in sync and it wasn’t long before Kon started to enjoy his loud commentary and puns as the two ghosts fought.

However, one particularly hard hit made it so that the dragon’s claws grazed his chest. Leaving three shallow gashes, but Phantom took the close proximity that attack gave him and sucked the creature into…a soup thermos?

But Kon wasn’t focused on that. He was wholly focused on the stinging pain suddenly coming from his chest, underneath his untouched uniform that clearly had not been hit. Kon didn’t know how to process what was happening. Everything suddenly became louder and he vaguely tried to move but it was like his mind became mush as he tried to process what that meant. He managed to get away for a bit and undid his shit, looking down to see three shallow scratches along his chest. Scratches that perfectly mirrored Phantom. In the corner of his eye, Kon saw a head of black hair and witnessed as Danny reunited with his two friends he had been separated from in the chaos. And as Danny twisted to hug them, his shirt flipped up enough to see another identical 3 scratches along the boy's stomach. Perfectly mirroring Phantoms. 

It was only later that Kon and his team did some more research on the town and it’s ghosts and learned the unofficial secret that Phantom and Danny were dating. That Phantom had Likely come back from the afterlife to protect the town his soulmate lived in. On the bright side, at least now he could confirm Danny really was his soulmate. And he knew where all those injuries were coming from.

Kon had found his soulmate.

Correction, he found his soumates

And they were already bonded to each other.

…

….so where did that leave him?

There are now two options. 

1: Kon decided that he just needs to woo both his soulmates and starts doing so both as Superboy and as Conner. Danny is very confused who these people are (because as far as he knows, he doesn’t have a soulmate, and since Kon doesn’t visibly show injury, there is no sign (unless Danny somehow injures himself in a place that is visible but he’s been trying to avoid that to make everyone worry less.)). Kon goes all out. He gets flowers, chocolates, writes poetry (whether good or not doesn’t matter) starts wooing Phantom in hero form, showing off his strength and skill whenever possible. (And unfortunately, also his dork side when he isn’t paying attention while flying) Asking to hang out, insist on paying for everything. Danny sees this tall Hunk who is paying attention to him and he doesn’t know what to do. And there are TWO OF THEM! (Also, in this version it might be funny if people suspect Danny and Phantom are dating but don’t know for sure and since they are never around each other, people might assume they just don’t know. So Sam, Tucker, and Jazz are all for Danny possibly starting a relationship with Kon along with Kon’s team who are cheering them on and trying to help the poor clone boy who has no experience with romance. Meanwhile literally everyone else in the town who likes Phantom is trying to run interference and get Danny and their hero together. 

2: The angst option. Kon decides that the fact that he has two soulmates who are together is likely a result of him being a clone. It’s not that he had someone waiting for him (how could he think someone was waiting their whole life just for him? How stupid was he?!) Kon had just hijacked a different bond. So he tries to stay away. Unfortunately, Tim had talked with Phantom while Kon was out of it so now they have started to team up. This makes avoiding him very difficult as he keeps running into Phantom. Moreover, he runs into Danny because they need him for the ghost hunting equipment. And slowly but surely, Kon falls in love with ‘both’ his soulmates but doesn’t want to get ‘between’ them. And Danny wants to know why one of his new teammates is avoiding him.

#invisible red string of fate

[darth-khal]

It was the other outfit she had in comics! The white dress with kalis jewelry on her and she's smiling happily with ghira and kali

"I'm sorry that I'm your future."

This line is just...heartbreaking. 💜

That little girl is full of light and happiness, and that light was completely diminished...until Yang (credit to Ruby, Weiss, Sun as well) reignited it.

It's so sad that one person can reduce someone to a shadow of their true selves, and how another can put the pieces back together with care and patience.

Some people are just bad for you, while others are so right; and sometimes you just have to endure the bad on the journey towards the good. 💛

[cautiouslyyyoptimistic]

I think there should be more fanfic where shen yuan and shen jiu just like fist fight each other in a walmart parking lot type vibes or smth. Scratches and screams and biting and rolling in the dirt. "To develop you need to suffer" VS "you don't need to suffer to develop", Total opposites meeting in a messy, petty clash in the backdrop of being perfect foils to each other morally. Absolute hatred of the others' outlook on life but also simply not thinking about it that deeply. Beating the face in of someone that looks eerily like you and feeling childishly satisfied doing it.

Perhaps they should kiss--

Invisible String (Coriolanus Snow x reader)

(Summary: It's turns out you weren't the only thing Coriolanus left behind when he went after the songbird..)

Masterlist : Request Info

Word Count: 2.2k

(A/n: very loosely based on the song Invisible string by Taylor Swift..)

(Warnings: Heartbreak, Angst angst angst!, Coriolanus, indications of cheating, indications of smut, angst w/ happy ending)

"Invisible string tying you and me.."

~~~

"Coriolanus? What are you doing here?" Y/n asked even though she knew the reason.

"They're sending me to District 12 as a Peacekeeper for 20years.. I cheated in the games.." Coriolanus said, as he came into her bedroom.

"To be with Lucy Gray?" Y/n asked, Coriolanus looked at her with a look she didn't mind to pay any attention too. "Dean Highbottom told me you were going to 8.. I just didn't think you'd use the only money you had to go after her.."

"N/n it's not like that." Coriolanus said trying to grab her but she pulled back fighting back the tears that are already forming in her eyes.

"I-I think you should go.." Y/n said as tears flowed down her cheeks. Coriolanus tried reaching out again.

"And... us?" He asked as his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

"I think you already made that decision.. their is no us... not anymore." She said as her voice cracked as she gave her necklace to him before she turned around avoiding his gaze. Coriolanus eyes softened sadly as he stared down at the necklace and back at her.

"N/n-" "please just go Coriolanus... go be with Lucy Gray.."

Coriolanus looked at her one last time before leaving with his bag and her necklace that he gave her when they were 16 clutched in hand as he left.

"Did you tell him?" A voice asked from your connected bathroom.

"N-no." Y/n said Turing towards Tigris who had came right before Coriolanus showed up. Tears streaming down her face as she shook her head.

"H-he's going to go be with Lucy Gray." She said in a barely a whisper.

  Tigris gave her a sad apologetic look before going up to her and pulling her into a hug brushing her hand through her hair as she let the girl sob in her arms.

~~~

(Few months later...)

~~~

"Hey baby look who came to visit? Auntie Tigris." Y/n whispered as she smiled down at her 3 month old baby girl with Snow White hair. Tigris gave a small smile looking at Aelia.

"What's wrong?" Y/n asked sensing the off ness in Tigris as she held Aelia in her arms rocking her gently.

"He's back n/n.." Tigris said Y/n froze.

"He's been back for a-awhile.." y/n let out a sigh as she laid a now sleeping Aelia back in her crib.

"I know." Y/n said. Tigris eyebrows stitched together in confusion.

"Clemmie and Lyssie stopped by and told me." Y/n said. Tigris expression turned to guilt stitched on her face. "It's okay. I'm not mad for you not telling me honestly I think I'd rather have not known.."

"I haven't told him anything.." Tigris informed.

"I know and thank you for that." Y/n said giving her a smile.

"It's... for the best n/n.."Tigris said giving her a sad smile. "He's just not the same.."

"I know.." Y/n said as she looked down at her sleeping daughter.

~~~

"Wait you don't know?" Festus asked confused. Coriolanus rolled his eyes at the ridiculous shit he was talking about now.

"Know what Festus?" Coriolanus asked as his cold eyes narrowing towards the irritating guy.

"Y/n had a baby." Festus whispered. Coriolanus froze his jaw locking in place as he processed the information.

"Festus!" Lyssie whispered shouted as she scolded him giving his arm a slap.

"What?! I thought he knew." Festus stammered back as guilt creeped onto his face.

Coriolanus turned ignoring their banter and continued his walk and a million thoughts running through his mind as he took his leave of absence.

~~~

Tigris came home to find Coriolanus in her almost empty room and she froze as he held a photograph in his hand.

"You knew.." Coriolanus said as he turned towards his cousin with the picture of y/n holding Aelia when she was just born.

Y/n had insisted on Tigris having a photo of one of the sonogram's as well as a photograph of you her and Aelia. Let's just say a lot of photos for Tigris to know she's still a very big part of her life and always will be.

"Tell me Tigris." Coriolanus snapped. Tigris eyes widened bewildered at his cold tone but yet not surprised.

"Yes, Coriolanus I knew. That day you went over to see her I was there because I had put the pieces together and confronted her about it." Tigris snapped back having enough of her cousins antics after everything. Coriolanus paled a bit and his mask slipped.

"You heard.." "Of course I heard. I saw it as well with you and Lucy Gray." Tigris confessed. Coriolanus let out a loud scoff.

"You could've told me!" Coriolanus snapped raising his voice out in irritation.

"It's wasn't my place to tell you but I'm not surprised she didn't tell you." Tigris clapped back as she took the photo and her last bag that was left besides the furniture she wasn't taking and left.

"If you want to see her. Ask one of her friends because she deserves better than what you've become.." Tigris said with tears perking in her eyes as she placed a photo on the table before she gave her cousin one last look before she left.

Coriolanus stood there looking at the photo Tigris had left of Y/n holding their daughter and smiling. He banged the table out of frustration as he held the photo with a deafening grip as unwanted tears slipped out of his eyes as he raked a hand through his hair.

It's was Sejanus than Lucy Gray and now Y/n and his daughter he never knew she was even pregnant with. But the difference was that Sejanus and the songbird were, where his rose and his daughter were still here...

~~~

  It was late evening and y/n had just put Aelia back to bed from the storm outside that had awakened her when she suddenly heard a series of knocks on her apartment door that she had gotten after she was kicked out for having a child too young. She opened the door and froze upon seeing the one person she didn't.

  Coriolanus Snow the man she once loved so deeply and the father of their child standing in front of her soaking wet from the rain on her door step.

"W-what are you doing here Coriolanus.." Y/n asked, even though she probably already knew why he was here.

"You know why." Coriolanus said softly looking at her with soft sad eyes. Those eyes she couldn't ever say no too not even now..

"J-just come in and we'll talk..." She said feeling both aggravated with herself for letting him in and guilt as she moved out the way to let him in as he came in.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, looking at her.

  Y/n sighed as she went over to the couch as she ran a hair through her hair as she sat down. Coriolanus following her sitting next to her. Tears started perking up.

"You went after her Coriolanus. You cheated on me with her.. and I found out I was pregnant.. so I had a thought that I'd never see you again." She said as tears streamed down her face. Coriolanus jaw clenched.

"When did you find out? How long did you know before that night?" Coriolanus questioned. Y/n swallowed the guilt adverting her gaze from him.

"I-I found out. When the rebels attacked.." She whispered.

Both of them knew that she hadn't been feeling well the past few weeks and they both knew that day all to well especially Coriolanus because instead of saving and protecting her he chose Lucy Gray which resulted in almost losing her.

"You should've told me! Or written me Y/n! And not have kept my-our child away from me!" Coriolanus said his voice raising in frustration and anger.

"You don't think I tried?" Y/n spat back through tears. Coriolanus looked at her confused. "That night when you went to 'zoo' for the last time I saw you kiss her but I thought no it must've been a mistake and every time I tried your mind was on Lucy Gray and winning."

Coriolanus eyes stitched with guilt and realisation

"I-I felt like I didn't matter to you anymore.. and then that night happened before you left. Then not even a day later I was kicked out."

Coriolanus looked at her and before she could move away from him their lips met in a deep longing kiss and her back was pushed against the couch before it could go further. Y/n heard a cry that made snap back to reality and you pushed Coriolanus off and got up before stopping.

"D-do you want to meet her..." Y/n asked him. He froze looking at her.

"It's a girl.." He asked.

  She nodded hesitatingly holding her hand out for him to take which he did after straightening himself up before he followed her with their fingers interlocked to the room where their daughter laid.

  Y/n let go of his hand going over to the crib. Coriolanus eyes following her as he froze in the doorway as he took in the sights of the room his eyes scanning the baby items and photos before landing on you.

"Hey sh.. baby mamas here." She whispered at Aelia as she picked her up and rocked her gently.

  He quietly came over to her side looking down at their daughter who was reaching a hand out to her mother.

"Do you want to hold her?" Y/n whispered. Coriolanus nodded as she carefully passed her over to him but still keeping one hand on her. Coriolanus stared down at their daughter in awe as he took in her features.

"Whats her name?" Coriolanus asked swallowing thickly. Y/n smiled slightly as her finger was still in Aelias hold.

"Aelia." Y/n smiled slightly.

"The sun." Coriolanus said smiling down at her.

"She was my sun.. my light after.. everything.." Y/n whispered looking at their baby girl who was now back asleep in her father's arms. Coriolanus eyes gazed at her.

"We should let her sleep now.." Y/n said, Coriolanus nodded as he gave their daughter back to her. As Y/n put Aelia back into her crib. They left her room.

"She's beautiful, n/n" Coriolanus said as they stepped out of the room. Y/n said nothing as wrapped her arms around herself.

"It's late.. you can stay the night if you want.." She said as she turned to face him.

Y/n wasn't sure if it was from seeing him with their daughter or what happened before but there was that pool again that was lost during their time apart that was back at full force but Coriolanus must have felt it too as he pulled her into a deep longing passionate kiss as their lips moved sync as she moved them towards her bedroom taking them into a blissful night.

~~~

“Mummy!” A voice shouted behind y/n as she turned around in her husband’s embrace to their daughter as she came running into her mother’s arms.

“Why don’t you say congratulations daddy!” She told her.

After that night, her and Coriolanus gotten back together and were married two years later. Now celebrating Coriolanus winning the presidency.

“Con-congratulations daddy!” Aelia said with a big smile handing him the rose that was pinned to her mother’s hair making it fall slightly. Coriolanus huffed out a laugh before taking it and placing a kiss on her forehead. Just then Grandma’am and Tigris came up with big smiles on their faces.

“Congratulations Coryo. I always knew you could do it.” Tigris said as she gave her cousin a hug.

“I am so proud of you!” His Grandma’am said with a huge smile that reached her eyes as she took his hands in hers. Coriolanus gave her a boyish grin.

“Why don’t I take her off your hands for a bit.” Tigris said gesturing to Aelia. “Give you some privacy.”

Y/n smiled as she handed Aelia over to her aunt. Who willingly went over to her aunt as she reached out her arms. Before they walked back to the room of celebration Tigris gave you a wink and a soft reassuring smile.

“We are so proud of you.” Y/n whispered. “And I have something to tell you..” Coriolanus eyes flickered his eyebrows furrowed in slight confusion.

“I was going to tell you earlier but I wanted to be sure..” She said. Coriolanus eyes glossed over with realisation.

“Your pregnant..” He asked. She nodded slightly. Coriolanus smiled before pulling her in and giving her a deep passionate kiss.

“Guess it’s a big night for you President Snow.” She said giving him a teasing smile before he pulled her back into the kiss.

This was how it was supposed to be. This is what they dreamed of back in the academy.. what Coriolanus saw his future.. him, Coriolanus Snow President of Panem with you, Y/n L/n his First Lady, mother of his children, his wife. You were always meant to be his, just how he was always meant to be yours with the invisible string tying you to him.
