I have acquired the fanfiction I wrote for class that earned me an A+. Mind you this is short for a reason and doesn't really deserve its own Ao3 post or something

CW// genderbend? I had to swap names + genders to conceal who they were lol sorry 💔

Wendy and Hailey had been friends since kindergarten. They met on the playground at recess, and quickly bonded over the fact that neither of them could make a friend. It seemed like a bit of an odd relationship to many, because Wendy was considered a bully, and Hailey was a stereotypical nerd. Regardless, the two had a near unbreakable bond.

As they aged, they only grew closer together. They had sleepovers together, they went out to their favorite fast food places with their allowance money together, and they always managed to be next to each other when in bigger groups. On the outside, it seemed like a casual friendship. When Wendy hit her teen years, she started to think deeper about it. It was mostly prompted by the mockery of teen boys who found it hilarious that she didn’t want a boyfriend.

Due to her inability to make decisions on her own, she decided to sit down with her best friend and voice of reason, Abe. Abe was on the calmer side, but he was stern and sensible. He told Wendy what was true rather than what she wanted to hear, even if it made her angry sometimes. She figured that speaking to him to figure out what to think of this situation would be far more preferable than shoving it all in the back of her mind to bother her later, since she was about to be stuck alone with Hailey for the entire rest of the day. Besides, Abe had been looking for an excuse to sit down and chat with Wendy, so he would be up for fixing Wendy’s life problems if it gave him an excuse to chat with her.

“What do you think it is?” Wendy asked, turning to her friend Abe.

Abe spun a yoyo in his hand without a second glance. “What else would it be?”

“I don’t know. Me and Hailey… We’re pretty close.”

“Ain’t that what a best friend is?”

“Well, yeah… But,” Wendy twirled her hair and her voice became faint. “-Me and her do a lot of those… Couple things, you know? Holdin’ hands, going to restaurants together… I can’t live without her.”

Abe paused his fidgeting. He put the yoyo down and faced Wendy with a serious look in his eyes.

“Are you gay?”

“What?! No! I-I don’t think-?”

“Well you’re clearly feeling some conflict about this whole situation despite nothing being wrong between you two,” Abe gestured to Wendy’s sweaty, red face, “and you’re obviously blushing. You’re too light to hide that level of blood flow, honey.”

Wendy rolled her eyes dramatically in an attempt to deflect Abe's assessment of her. She hated coming to terms with anything, especially if doing so would make her look vulnerable or weak. Abe knew this well, and typically took this reaction as defeat.

“Look, I know those other teenage boys are… Rude about this, but you can’t keep this to yourself. Not like you can, knowing how every little secret of yours oozes from your body language.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?!”

“It means that you need to tell her you have feelings for her.”

“But what if she hates me for it?” Wendy curled her body up with fear. “What would I do without my best friend?”

“Well you’re going to lose her if you distance yourself out of fear. It’ll slip out if you wait long enough, anyways, wouldn’t you rather confess on your own terms?”

Wendy nodded without looking up. She hated when she wasn’t in control of a situation, and she hated it even more when it was her fault for saying something impulsive.

“-You’re going over to her place in half an hour, aren’t you? That’s the perfect time to confess. If she rejects you, at least you have me to cry to.”

“If I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it right now!” Wendy declared as she stood up proud. “I shouldn’t wait any longer!”

“Woah, woah - I wasn’t really expecting THAT response… When did you get so confident?”

“Never! But you know what? I’m far more impatient than I am nervous!”

Wendy grabbed her bag, filled with various items she would never utilize, and headed out for Hailey's house. She didn’t even bother texting or calling before arriving ahead of schedule due to her impatience. If Hailey's house weren’t just down the block, Wendy’s heart would’ve exploded from how fast it was beating. She knocked on the door with full force, right in the dent she made in the door from all the other times she knocked at full force.

Creeeaaaakkkk…

“Wendy!” Hailey exclaimed as she opened the door. “You’re… Early? Did they replace you with a robot replica? Because you’re usually la-”

Wendy pushed past Hailey with force. “We’re going to your room so that little rat you call a sister doesn’t intrude!”

Hailey followed close behind. “Woah, this must be important. I’ve never seen you so desperate… Except for maybe that time we found a magnifying glass on the ground and you used it to fry some bugs-”

“Shusssh!”

Wendy frantically shut the door behind her. She grabbed a chair from Hailey’s desk and jammed it against the door to compensate for the lock that Hailey's grandmother refused to let her have back.

“Okay, that’s excessive. You didn’t commit a felony, did you?”

“I wish! Not like I’d loop your goody two-shoes into it, because you’d just rat me out!”

“And with good reason,” Hailey crossed her arms. “What did you want, then?”

Wendy went through a few different facial expressions. After going through one of grimace, fury, and exhaust, she settled on a blank face.

“I’m gay, and I think you’re very attractive, and I want to date you.”

Hailey looked around the room, as if she was trying to figure out what the punchline was. “Is that a joke?”

“No, it’s not a joke, you-” Wendy stuttered through the beginnings of a few vile insults before letting out a loud sigh. “I’m being serious, Hailey. Don’t rub it in my face, because you know I’ve dragged people twice your size by their legs before.”

Hailey chuckled lightly. “I’m not gonna rub it in your face, girl. I’m just shocked you made the first move!”

“...What?”

“I’ve known. Not just about you, but about myself. It was pretty easy to tell with the way you look at me sometimes.”

“Am I seriously the only person who didn’t know this about myself?!”

“You can be pretty oblivious to your own feelings sometimes,” Hailey ruffled Wendy’s dirty and unbrushed hair. “-But that’s how I like you.”

“So what does this mean?”

“This means that you don’t tell my grandma that we’re a thing. She’d kill me.”

“What, so… Just like that - we’re a thing?”

“Do you want us to be?” Hailey laughed.

“I didn’t confess for no reason, you dork! I was just expecting this conversation to be a little more… Long, and emotional!”

“I don’t think this needs to be long and emotional when we’ve been acting like we’re together ever since our tweens.”

“I think it might take a while to get used to being gay.”

“True love knows no bounds,” Hailey bounced onto her bed and splayed out. “-And that includes gender.”

“Tell that to my brain. It’s going to take a bit to shake out my urge to hate myself over every difference I have.”

Hailey gestured for Wendy to come over to her. She grabbed Wendy’s coarse hand and planted a kiss on the knuckles.

“And I’ll be here to help you love every part of yourself just like I do.”

(OLD ART, FROM EARLY 2025)

Elder Scrolls (more specifically Skyrim) AU because I played Skyrim a couple of days ago and remembered that I drew an ES5 AU but never posted. Might as well since I'm currently taking a break from drawing until I'm positive my concussion has healed

They are about mid 30s in this AU for clarification

SPOILERS FOR THE CURRENTLY UNRELEASED CHAPTER 17 OF THE REBELLION BELOW THE CUT

He waited for Hoagie's soft snores to start before slipping off the bed as carefully as possible, then opening the door without making much noise. His padded and furry feet didn't make noise as he walked anymore, so he didn't have to be too careful after the door had been opened. He slipped past it and left it mostly closed so he could slip back in if necessary.

His first target was the fridge. Even with a smaller digestive tract after being cursed, he still found himself searching for snacks often.

To his dismay, the two brothers were ransacking the fridge. He tried to slip away so they wouldn't see him, but they noticed him without them needing to stray their vision very far.

"Numbuh Four! Were you looking for some food?"

"Eh... Maybe?" He cringed. "It's okay, I can go find something else-"

"We gotchu! What do you need, fellow alien?"

"Fellow alien?"

"Yeah! I don't know if you've noticed, but your human disguise isn't very good. Your real self is slipping through!"

Wally looked down at himself. Specifically, he looked at his arms. The fur on his hands stood up at the coldness of the surrounding air.

"This?"

"Yeah!"

"You've got it wrong, Number Sixty. I'm no alien like you!"

"Why're ya all furry, then? I've seen humans with hair on their body, but nothing like THAT!"

"I was... Experimented on. Cursed, I guess. The fake Nigel uttered some lines of weird sounds to me and turned me from a giant beast back into my normal self, but some parts of the beast didn't go away."

The two brothers shot glances of acknowledgement to each other. "Is it true? Did he really utter words to you that changed your physical form?"

"Why is that the most unbelievable part of this whole thing?"

"There were legends in the universe about a language so powerful it could take on a physical form as it was spoken, altering whatever it touched... Is that what turned you into the beast?"

Wally snuck past them and snagged a snack from the fridge. "Uh... I don't know. I was roaming the halls looking for something one minute, and then the next I woke up as some massive beast locked in a tiny little cage with a collar literally wired into my neck."

Wally tore open the snack packaging, dumped it all in his mouth, and tried to walk away. Patton grabbed his ragged turtleneck collar and pulled him back into the conversation.

"Please, you need to tell us more! We haven't heard of this power being known by anybody in so long!"

"I told you, I don't know anything about this cruddy language! Will ya let go of me?"

"Where can you point us to?!"

"I'm gonna point you towards the vacuum of space if you don't get your grubby hands off of me!" Wally yanked Patton's hand off of his clothing. "Why don't you go ask Chad? He was there!"
