#:) thanks again for the ask <3

[for-the-sake-of-color]

for the oc meme: i’m curious about how my girl Andrie would get along with your ocs! I know you read her intro post, but in short she’s a force sensitive farm girl turned rebel who Went Through Some Shit growing up. she has a hell of a temper, but she’s also extremely loyal to the people she loves and super determined to see things through. also if you dare to lift a hand against her bf she’ll end you

thank you so much asjghgqpughqerg rgb I love Andrie she has such a facinating life from start to finish

Well Lets see!!!! so we are going to have to assume that Crisis Company managed to survive order 66 (they did not make it long enough to even see it in timelines where it happened, and their main timeline is an o66 fix-it. its complicated. if the time travel bit never happends, they likely would have deserted when Kix was taken by the separatists after the brain chips thing, with no reason to stay with the republic) in a way that leaves Andrie the same woman that she would be if history takes its natural course

Andrie is a good, strong willed person who tries to do right by those she loves. Eventually, she becomes a wise and powerful Jedi.

bit long, under the cut

I think that Mary Ann is the Oc of mine that would get along with her the best, or at least, I think they have a good shot of understanding eachother in a deeper sense, on finding common ground from their pasts. If they got off on the right foot, Mary Ann would probably like to keep her as a friend, because she's a true socialite at heart, and damn good at it too.

Mary Ann originally left her homeworld because her Mother and her Mothers and their Mothers believed it was her job, her duty, to settle down and birth as many children as she could until she was no longer fertile. That's not what she wanted out of life, though, and she didn't want to put her body through that even once. Eventually, sometime after Mary Ann took Jet and Margo on as her mates during the clone wars (humans with no chance of direct procreation with her) her mother and a cousin travel to coruscant and try to.... irrevocably ruin Jet's life to force her to come back home. Mary Ann is also fairly friendly, even if she's got a rather sharp tongue and critical eye, it takes a lot to actually get under her skin. She's also a killer cook who used to run amazing resteraunts on the coruscant upper levels before the end of the war, she says, and is always out to impress. If Andrie can dish out a compliment for her dishes direct to her face, she may find herself suddenly with more free baked goods than she can take home with her. If any harm ever came to her little family, though? well. there is a reason the Jedi held a little fear in their hearts for the rage of the gurlanins

Captain Jet would like her, almost certainly and from the start, even if she would definately disagree with his choice of company. He's got a soft spot for the tempermental ones. He's trying to be a good man, so he would understand any reservations she would have about Nihlus being... a sith, even as a leashed one. (or Heron and his... proclivities)

If they did manage to survive the order with Nihlus alive, She would probably meet the Squad in the Rebellion, because Jet would be unable to let a FASCIST EMPIRE run by a SITH LORD continue without trying to do anything at all. This war, at least, he chose to fight. He chose this cause, and he believes in it in the way he hadnt had with the republic since he was a shiny. Believes in this Skywalker kid in a way he never quite did with the mans (he considers) reckless father. And Jet would respect anyone who makes the same choice and commitment to the rebellion, regardless of why they do it, regardless of their personal opinion of him. There are bigger enemies to face than the people fighting by your side. Though if she could not find it in herself to tolerate Nihlus, he would proably try to minimize his time around her. He gets it, but that's still his 'little' brother by choice.

Nihlus.... The biggest challenge to getting along with most of my ocs is just tolerating this guy. Nihlus Brek is a tried and true old academy style sith lord. Like he was genuinely trained in an pre-kotor era sith academy (whom he then slaughtered for all of their slights against him during his training). Just because he's more of a benign sith, an archivist, and a leashed one at that, doesnt mean killing voilence murder mutilation bloodshed isnt like.... his favorite pass time.

Nihlus isn't a threat to Andrie so long as Jet says he isnt, and Nihlus will quite literally die if he disobeys Jet's orders (blood oath, a sort of sith alchemy they use to guarantee his absolute loyalty. yes, it is by choice). He doesn't hate jedi or their sympathizers on principal, they generally kept the galaxy from burning. No galaxy, nothing to archive. He respects her for being willing to fight alongside them, that it makes her strong regardless of her skill level in the force. The more she gets in touch with the light, though, the less willing he would be to cooperatively be in her presence. Lightsiders give him a tinnitus like sensation. Skyrim ninroot bass boosted ass sound effect. So great, go be a goody two shoes or whatever the fuck, just do it.... over there. He would help provide her and her academy research material about jedi from his archive, if she was so inclined to it. Sith too, though he has no interest in taking on a sith apprentice himself. The galaxy does not need more people like the emperor, or even himself, he will say by his own admission, though he he is almost entirely unrepentent for all the suffering he himself has caused so long as it has furthered his goals or protected those he cares about.

The Rest of Crisis Company are a mixed bag all depending on how... willing Andrie is to letting Nihlus' killing bloodshed maiming mutalation murder torture of imperials thing slide. Like however she reacts to watching a stormtrooper get turned inside out by a laughing sith probably would set the tone of her relationship with the rest of the company

Margo leans towards tolerance of even some of the more abhorrent of Nihlus treatment towards their enemies and their prisoners, so the more Andrie is willing to turn cheek to unnessisiarily violent cruelty, the greater liklyhood she has for getting on with Margo. She doesn't believe in Skywalker like Jet does, but she'd follow any of them into hell with only mild complaining, Cynic doesnt much care for outsiders regaurdless of their opinions. Respects her fighting skills, then later would respect her willingess to become a jedi "despite what happened to the rest of those sorry saps" he would probably say directly to her face. Would probably not form anything close to 'like' though, as he jut doent care to make friends. Lake and Torch often come as an inseparable sniper unit, even after all these years. Decidedly more willing to befriend people who chose not to tolerate Nihlus, because everthing the sith does often serves to make them a little bit squeamish, although Torch has a bit more of a stomach for it (though not by much). Lake would like more 'normal and sane' connections, and Torch would be interested in hearing about Andrie's homeworld, cause even after over 20 years he still cant quite believe a place could exist that is the antithesis of Kamino's vast oceans. Heron is.... Heron is a a brutal killer who has an occasional taste for what he butchers. He held too many lives in his hands during the clone wars and developed both a god complex about his medic shit and a taste for blood, and he's had his fair share of fun with Nihlus and some of their imperial prisoners. Even if Andrie had never seen his work directly, she's likely heard rumors. If she can get past that, though, he's actually nice enough, and surprisingly amiable to boot. Sprig is always around. and he's always listening. If crisis company has a spymaster, he's it. He's probably met the rebellions concept of Andrie long before he's met the woman himself. Also respects her regaurdless of wether or not she tolerates Nihlus, but his regaurd for likeablity would fluctiate based on how vocally she dislikes his 'little' brother, if at all. if she actively dislikes Nihlus, he listens. If she doesnt, he speaks in equal measures. He does love to just chit-chat, too.

HII OMG i had to follow for the soul calibur and kingdom hearts ships!!! also you seem pretty cool!!! :D if it isn't too much trouble, could you tell me more about your ship with aqua? i love her sm! (kittyandco)

hello!!! thank you thank you! it's great to see you here ajdhqkdjw I love so many of your ships and have been following for a while! i'm a huge marvel fan and hux is a character i like a lot too and there's so many f/os of yours that i recognize! soulcal is so special to me since some of my earliest memories are of me playing it! as a result, I've been with my guy for a while- what a guy, am I right? 😍

i'm always down to talk about my aqua! I also love her sm if i do say so myself- this might end up being a little long but here we gooooo!

okay so. Ash is another Keyblade wielder raised by Master E.raqus! He found her after she was orphaned so she sees him as a fatherly figure. She's just a few months older than Aqua and a little younger than Terra. She dresses in mostly all red (her and Aqua are the red and blue couple!!!!) and has those chest straps the other wayfinder trio folk do as well.

She became a Keyblade master before Aqua did (though not very long before- just a few weeks) and she's very good at what she does! She wears a long red coat. I wanted her to look cool and important which is why her outfit is like that.

I hope you like the childhood best friends to lovers trope because that's exactly what happens! These two have been together since they were children. They were always together. No matter what. Always together, hand in hand, giggling and laughing and training and talking. It isn't until their teenage years where Ash goes "... Oh. Oh."

Ash has it bad. She's so horribly in love with her best friend. Terra knows, Ven knows, Dad knows, they all know- It's so obvious! As a kid, she always wanted to be with Aqua, but as she grew older, those cute little giggles turned into longing glances.

Ash often calls Aqua "Berry", a nickname from when they were kids. Ash was red... Aqua was blue... Like a blueberry! So she's Berry for short. She always called Aqua that when they were little, and it stuck! So you can sometimes see her call Aqua "berry"!

Just imagine a little Ash and Aqua when they were small.

"You're Aqua.. and I'm Ash!"

"You're red, and I'm blue!"

"You're like water... But I'm like fire!"

And little Aqua giggles,

"Hey, we match! We're meant to be, right?"

"Yeah, that's right! Ash and Aqua, we'll be best friends forever and ever!"

Anyways, Ash said that she'd finally confess after years of pining after they're all Masters, but... haha... ha... (looks at birth by sleep). She doesn't take the end of the game very well.

(Oh and more appearance details! Ash has brown skin and eyes and black hair like I do. Her coat is red and her shirt under is black. Her straps are green. Her Keyblade is green too. Her hair is long, but tied in a ponytail with a white ribbon. The ribbon was a gift from Eraqus when she was younger.)

Like with the others, Aqua makes a wayfinder for Ash. Ash's is red, just like her coat. But Ash refuses to take it. She laughs, saying that her and Aqua are so close that they don't need this to be together. And so, for all of BBS, Aqua carries two Wayfinders.

But at the end, right before she falls into darkness, Aqua asks for Ash's hand and gives her a blue Wayfinder.

"Aqua..." "Keep it. I'll always be by your side, okay?"

So for all of Ash's appearances until they reunite in 3, Ash carries a blue Wayfinder from her belt. However, that also means that Aqua carries a red Wayfinder in 0.2

It makes moments like these a little more emotional. She thinks of Ash whenever she looks at that. Ash is what keeps her going throughout the darkness. Her best friend, the woman that she loves.

And then... At the end of BBS... Aqua falls into darkness. And Ash is forced to watch. The last thing Aqua hears is Ash begging and screaming, pleading for the darkness to please just take her instead. Anything, she'd give up anything to save Aqua.

Ash punches at the ground again and again till her knuckles bleed the same red as the Wayfinder Aqua always held onto, casts every single spell she knows. She doesn't care about how much it hurts. She just wanted to save Aqua.

... And she failed. Aqua doesn't come back.

Ash's hands are scarred from all that, and every single one of those scars are a reminder that she failed. She has bandages around her hands.

For ten years, she is alone. Eraqus is gone, her best friend Terra is gone, Ven is gone... And Aqua is gone. Her light is gone. Ash spends ten years by herself, wandering worlds and imagining what it would be like to see Aqua again. She loves her so much..

Ash can be seen wandering worlds in 2. Sora tries to talk to her, seeing that she's a Keyblade wielder. But Ash tells him to leave. She doesn't care about anything that doesn't have to do with Aqua. She doesn't even have it in her to be a boss fight.

But yeah. For ten years, we get mean and sad Ash. After Mickey sees Aqua, he tracks down Ash. Ash agrees to help them because she wants to see Aqua again. So we see her work with Riku and Yen Sid and Mickey and all those losers later. She's a little serious and quiet (which is wild, since she's a goofy and bright jokester with Aqua!)

Her and Riku also develop a sibling type bond. She's the cool big sister to him. Riku picks up on Ash always playing with the blue Wayfinder she carried on her.

And then a bunch of stuff happens and she's the one who has to fight Anti-Aqua. It horrifies her and she's crying for the whole fight.

"Please, Aqua... I-I can't... Don't make me do this..."

"You left me here. You abandoned me. You never came me."

"Aqua, please... I did everything I could!"

And when Aqua finally comes back, Ash is tackling her in a hug. They're both sobbing, clinging to each other with all they have. Aqua has always felt like home to Ash. Ash was home. She was finally home. Aqua cries, saying that she never stopped thinking about Ash.

You know how in 0.2 Aqua looks up at the sky sometimes? Ash looks up at the stars a lot too. Reminds me of the days when her and younger Aqua would stay up and laugh together under the stars.

A little while after they reunite, they kiss. They've always been so close, and sometimes just... snaps. And they both confess that they've been in love with each other for a long, long time. And yeah! For the rest of 3, you can see them kissing and holding hands and being really cute. They're a very adorable couple (if I do say so myself hehe)!

Also, Ash is afraid of taking off her bandages around Aqua at first. Her scars are ugly. Her scars are a reminder of how she wasn't enough. She wants to be the perfect woman for Aqua, and Aqua shouldn't have to see that side of her. But Aqua tells Ash that she loves Ash for who she is, and her hands are beautiful, no matter how many scars are on them. Aqua kisses them often.

Also, Ash sometimes refers to Aqua as "my heart" and Aqua refers to Ash as "my light". In a world of darkness, thoughts of Ash was all Aqua had. Her bright smile, loud laugh, all of it... Ash was her light. And a heart is supposed to be Ash's guiding key, right? Well, Ash's heart always found its way back to Aqua. Aqua is her heart.

There's a lot more to this ship and I've written soooo damn much for them, but that's pretty much what you need to know about them! They're the red/blue Keyblade gfs!!!! They're so in love! Best friends (and even more than that) forever!

Ash is pretty sassy and humorous, and can sometimes be a bit of a flirt (only towards Aqua). It makes Aqua blush. Aqua is just the sweetest person alive- It's adorable how she's the only person who can fluster Ash. They love each other so much. Ten years without each other wasn't easy. Ash isn't used to having anyone around again, and Aqua isn't used to the light. But that's okay. They have each other, right?

Oh! Also! When they reunite, they finally trade Wayfinders again. Red for Ash, blue for Aqua.

This is mostly Ash/Aqua focused, but she's cool big sis to Ven, and sassy daughter (who loves him lots) to Eraqus. She didn't like Terra as a kid, but as they grew up together, they've gotten extremely close and care for each other deeply. However, Ash likes to pick on him a lot. She calls him an idiot a lot, but she cares about him, I promise! He was also one of the first to go "hey, Ash, youre down bad for your bestie aren't you-"

Thank you for this ask!!!

[oneiroy]

sky attack — is there something your muse finds attractive about themselves? does this extend to other people?

Sure, Ryss is pretty self-confident and she would say she's hot! I mean, she would mostly say it for the bit, but she does think she has attractive qualities. She is particularly proud of her strength - both physically and in her relations with others. She has broad shoulders and can be a shoulder to lean on, and she would think that if people are attracted to her, it's most likely because of that. She would also think that her being gender non-conforming can be really attractive to the right kind of person.

And yes, she would find these traits attractive in others as well. Althought it doesn't have to take the form of being physically strong, strength is something that should would look to in others. Also, the more gender fuckery the better, and Ryss would definitely be into other butch women.

For the character ask meme: Ciri!

Thanks for the ask <33

my general perception of them

I love her!! I'm especially fond of the weird little girl energy Sapko gave her in the books. I think she's one of the greatest portrayals of a child character i've ever read? She's smart and she's brazen and she talks back to adults; she's basically the chosen one and she has to deal with a shit ton of trauma that only gets worse as the books progress, but at the end of the day, she's still a little kid who gets to do normal, dumb kid stuff like climbing trees and sulking and talking back to adults and showing off her cool new witcher tricks in front of the other children at Nenneke's temple. How can you not like her

Her quest to reclaim control over her life and over her body is also particularly moving. She's the culmination of Geralt and Yennefer's character arcs: maybe some of their choices have already been made for them, but they will fight until the end so that this little girl can have the liberty to decide what she wants to do with her life and with her body. Never fails to make me tear up

an unpopular opinion or, failing that, a fun fact

I always headcanon Ciri to be non-binary or at the very least not strictly cis. I don't know. Something about her just feels very gender to me.

music i associate with them (if any)

Part of the reason why it took me so long to answer this ask was because I couldn't come up with a song that made me think of her, but now that i'm almost done with Sword of Destiny and about to reread Blood of Elves, i realized that The Golden Age by Woodkid is a great song for her. It reminded me of the few months she spent in Kaer Morhen, sheltered from the world and the closest she got to a normal childhood after the fall of Cintra, but it also announces the series of events that will begin in Time of Contempt and which I definitely don't want to think about :')))) also the third verse ends on "We are family/No matter what they say/But boys are meant to flee/And run away one day" and yeah. that does it for me

if I feel (spiritually) like I could beat them in a fight

Oh no. Even if i was stupid enough to find myself in a fight against her, I'd have at the very least the decency to die immediatly

part one here. ze part two to touch-starved stevie that absolutely no one requested hehe <3 but i gots to let my boys have a wee kiss :")

So, hugs with Eddie become… well, a thing.

Not a thing. They’re not a thing, Steve and Eddie. It’s totally the same as when he gets hugs from Robin. Eddie’s doing him a favour as a friend. It’s got the 100% platonic energy of getting a hug from a friend — a hug that usually melts into some form of a cuddle, limbs all tangled together until they can’t tell whose are whose.

Except, Steve doesn’t really do that second part with Robin. Like he hasn’t done it ever with Robin.

So, it’s an Eddie thing.

But they’re not a thing. Not matter how much Steve would actually very much like for that happen. Okay, maybe Steve’s overthinking the whole thing a bit, but he just can’t tell.

Where’s the line? It’s infuriating not being able to discern between platonic and more, just because Steve wasn’t held enough as a fucking baby. Out of all the things he resents his parents for, Steve’s surprised that this is so near the top.

Because, sure, Steve’s had more than his fair share of hookups. He knows that sort of touch. He knows the shape of lust; the scrapes of fingernails down backs, the tight grips over skin, the push and pull of the heat of the moment.

And this thing with Eddie… is not that.

So, really, Steve knows that it’s all friendly. Eddie is just being nice. He’s being a decent dude and helping his friend out — by catapulting himself into Steve’s arms at every opportune moment.

(Steve’s only dropped 3 mugs of coffee because of this so far. It’s only because Eddie says good catch, big boy with a devilish grin every time that Steve manages to catch Eddie that Steve hasn’t completely told him to knock it off. Just yet, at least.)

And he’s different in other areas. He’ll always seem to choose the seat next to Steve on movie-nights now, content to snuggle right up to him. They get thigh to thigh, arm to arm — and Eddie only needs to get about 20 minutes in for him to do a big sigh, like an old dog, and slump over, resting his head on Steve’s shoulder.

Steve notices though. He always notices.

It’s impossible not to— the skin, even if there’s 3 layers between them, burns blazing warm. Eddie’s hair drapes over his arm, a curl inevitably tickling along Steve’s collar. He can feel the rise and fall of Eddie’s breathing, the little shake of when he laughs.

It drives Steve a little insane— insane in the way that makes him think about burying his fingers in those curls again, about pressing his lips against Eddie’s pretty mouth just to feel the smile against his skin, about digging into his chest so he can climb into his chest and live there.

Yeah, it’s— well, it’s safe to say that the effect of Eddie’s touchiness has sent what was once a fleeting thought of a crush into mind-melting levels of affection.

But he can’t fucking tell.

-

To Steve’s credit, neither can Eddie.

Which is not surprisingly considering sometimes he catches himself wondering how the hell he ended up here; in a close-knit friendship with band-geek Robin Buckley, princess Nancy Wheeler, and King Steve Harrington.

Okay, the Robin one sort of makes sense. He thinks that if no matter when their paths crossed, he and Robin would’ve always even some sort of strange friends - her snark complimenting his bitchiness. Also, the whole super queer thing helps too. Even the friendship with Nancy works, in its own weird way.

Steve though? He’s the fucking curve ball.

It works though, the two of them. Surprisingly well, actually — the two of them get on like a house on fire, bitchy quips back and forth. Even better, is the quiet that they can share. Steve loves to come around and do… nothing. Do nothing with Eddie, though.

So, even though Eddie had noticed the tension in Steve with touch, little moments where he turned rigid when Eddie’s usual wandering hands got too comfortable — Eddie chalked it up to the usual. Guys bring too uncomfortable with him, too weird about another guy being touchy. It didn’t matter than Eddie wasn’t even out to Steve yet, he was still might be that type of guy.

Well, Eddie had certainly thought so. Sure, Steve might not be one of those jocks who smacked around boys who looked too long in the locker room, but if he knew a smidge of the truth, who really knows. It would explain the tenseness at least.

But then— ‘Can I… have a hug?’ There had been a dozen things Eddie was thinking that Steve could’ve asked for but that? Wasn’t even in the ballpark. It was so left-field it left Eddie speechless for a whole moment. And Steve had been staring at the ceiling, his hands curled up tight again like- like he thought Eddie might say no.

A ridiculous thought, honestly. Anyone who knew Eddie well enough knew he was touchy; loved giving it, loved getting it. Like an overly affectionate cat, Wayne had once called him, just 11 years old, because Eddie’s need for affection seem to never be sated.

After that night, Steve’s lack of touch became far more obvious. It’s always hair ruffles or high-fives, yet never hugs. Normally, Eddie would keep to that boundary; some people are less touchy other than others, he knows that.

But… “Sometimes I realise it’s been awhile, since I’ve had some touch.” That’s what Steve had said, his words. Eddie doesn’t even think he meant to say something so heartbreaking. In fact, the guy seemed embarrassed.

It had thrown Eddie for a loop— because Steve gets around. He’s nearly notorious for one-night stands and failed flings, as Robin loves to drone on about considering she’s subjected to all the flirting. What had originally been a point of envy for Eddie, just saturates the bleakness of Steve’s words. Sex but without a moment of intimacy.

So, while Eddie is miles away from being the person who gets into Steve’s pants — not for lack of want, mind you — he does try hike up the touchiness. Little things. Lingering when he taps him on the arm, hooking his chin over Steve’s shoulder to peer over it, leaning up against him when they’re side by side watching a film.

It’s good. It helps Eddie release the pressure of his stupid monumental god-awful crush he has. Yeah, yeah, it’s laughable, even to Eddie. It’s like Gay 101; don’t get crush on straight dudes, especially the ones you’re friends with. And yet…

Steve lets him. He lets Eddie give him touch, more than he lets anyone else. He still tenses; there’s still always a moment before he can remember to relax, like he’s trying to shake off bad thoughts but then he melts. He always melts into Eddie’s touch eventually — in a way Eddie knows Steve actually loves it, drinks it up as much as he can.

And maybe, Eddie is the biggest fool to grace the Earth to let that fact give him some hope. Sue his gooey heart, he’s a romantic. It’s a quiet hope but, it’s there.

Tonight, it seems relaxing for Steve is been harder than usual— several times has Eddie traced a quite long along Steve’s arms, a subtle point that they were far too tense for someone who was wrapped up in cuddles on the couch. ‘Cos that’s 100% what they are now. Eddie will still call them hugs, but usually, when it’s just the two of them, it becomes this.

Steve, tucked up into the corner of the couch, one leg flush along the back of the couch and one hanging off the edge. It’s the prime position for Eddie to crawl up, wind his arms around Steve’s middle and give him a good squeeze and then settle there. Head on Steve’s chest, lying in the cradle of his hips. Safe. Warm.

It makes him warm, oh very warm to know that he gets this. That Steve doesn’t give this amount of trust to many, if any, other people but Eddie — he trusts Eddie.

“Y’know,” Eddie says, cheeks smushed against the plain of Steve’s pec. It feels deliciously warm and Eddie’s fairly sure he can feel how toned it is just through his cheek. Hot bastard. “I’m actually real glad you asked for that hug all those weeks ago.”

He leaves it there ‘cos he knows Steve will ask. Eddie’s eyes stay on the buzzing tv-screen even as Steve’s head shifts, turning to peer down at the boy slumped on his chest. Eddie’s pretty sure he can see Steve’s mouth twitch up into a smile.

“Yeah?”

“Oh yeah,” Eddie affirms, giving a nod and his eyes flick up to meet Steve’s for just a moment. “Think I’ve had some of the best hugs in the world.”

Okay, that was maybe more honest and sappy than Eddie was going for. He is just letting Steve know he isn’t just doing it for Steve — that he enjoys these moments just as much. He lays it on thick, tries for a smarmy angle.

“Swept up in these pillowy arms?” He croons, giving Steve’s bicep a quick squeeze, making the other chuckle softly. “Who wouldn’t think so? I’m a lucky guy.”

Despite the joking tone, there’s no quick comeback from Steve. That’s alright. Eddie’s quite happy if this is one of the times Steve just takes the compliment; let’s the word sink in and hopefully, believes them, even if it’s just a little bit. He watches the film and doesn’t read into the silence.

Not even when Steve says, “Eddie?” all soft. Nearly shy sounding. It doesn’t quite register to Eddie’s ears.

“Mm?”

“Eddie.” Steve says again, a little firmer and that catches Eddie’s attention. He turns his head and rests his chin on Steve’s chest, his brows drawn together in silent question.

But the moment he makes eye contact, Steve’s doing that scrunched up face again. Is studying the ceiling instead of facing Eddie. And just like all those weeks ago, his hands clench up tight. Twists up the fabric of Eddie’s sweater in between his fingers and uses it to ground himself.

Last time, he asked for a hug. Considering he’s currently just about squishing Steve beneath his body weight, Eddie can’t fathom what he might be worked up to ask for. Unless he was going to ask for something more than a hug— which, well, just wasn’t going to happen, even if Eddie really wanted it to.

“Can I-” Steve starts. He sucks in a breath, almost like he’s gathering courage. But he’s not, because he’s not about to ask for what Eddie hopes for, he’s not, he’s—

Unless…?

“Can I… have a kiss?” Steve asks, barely audible. The sentence is murmured, soft words that hit Eddie like a gentle kiss in itself — imprinting right onto his heart. Steve Harrington wants a kiss — from him!

“Oh.” Eddie says, in a breathy delightful way. He’s fairly certain the little monkey in his brain is clapping its cymbals at double-speed as the words process; or maybe it’s his heart, which feels like it’s leapt up his throat.

“Oh?” Steve echoes, a smile already playing at the edges of his mouth, because he can see Eddie’s want. Because he knows him.

“Yes.” Eddie says suddenly, with a frantic nod, pushing up closer so their faces are aligned. “Yes, absolutely, you can.” He affirms.

Steve huffs a quiet laugh at the eagerness and then his arm that had been slung around Eddie shifts. It moves up til his hand caresses along the line of Eddie’s jaw, tilting him just how he likes.

Eddie holds his breath. Counts the freckles he can see this close. Tries to feel Steve’s heartbeat through where they’re pressed so closely together; can Steve feel his? Thundering and hurried, beating so hard Eddie thinks he might bruise the inside of his ribs.

Then Steve kisses him. And shit, Steve’s lip are better by ten-fold than every daydream Eddie’s ever had about them. They’re warm and so soft — plush and pressing against his own and Eddie is freezing. Fuck, wait, how does this go again? Right, Eddie’s never… well, kissed anybody before.

Steve pulls back and Eddie screws his eyes up — not ready in the slightest for the disappointment of his own shoddy kissing skills. Fuck, did he really just freeze? Steve — Steve Harrington — asks for a kiss and Eddie decides to stab himself in the back by not figuring out how to fuck to kiss back.

“You call that a kiss?” Steve teases and Eddie’s well aware of the parallel — of the irony of Steve repeating his own words back at him. But he can’t make himself laugh even though it’s funny. Instead, a little groan wiggles out his throat.

“I’m sorry,” Eddie says, earnest. He forces his eyes opens — he needs to see what’s Steve’s thinking. Where he’s expecting disappointment or perhaps regret, is only patience. Maybe a touch of concern. Eddie continues, despite the humiliation that makes his throat sticky.

“I haven’t- I don’t do this often.” He coughs awkwardly clearing his throat and hoping it hides the next word. “Ever.”

There’s a jump in Steve’s eyebrows, a moment of surprise in his eyes that lets him know he did, indeed, hear that final word. It makes Eddie feel… well, it’s nice that Steve had expected him to have been kissed by now. Even if he hasn’t. He tries to take it as a compliment.

“That’s okay,” Steve assures. Absentmindedly, his thumb rubs soothing along Eddie’s jaw. It makes Eddie shiver, some outrageous amount of joy clawing into every nerve. Steve likes Eddie. He wants to kiss Eddie.

“Do you want to try again?”

Eddie nods before the questions even out of his mouth. Steve smiles, all sunshine. This time when he draws Eddie in, he notices the way Eddie holds his breath — the rigidness in his body.

Steve kisses him again, another short and soft one and then whispers against his lips, “Relax.”

‘Cos isn’t tonight just full of the parallels, Eddie thinks. He listens, tries to focus on how sweet Steve’s kiss is than his panicky heart, forcing out a breath between the kisses. His hands along Steve’s sides find a grip, grounding and good, and by the fourth kiss, he begins to feel a bit melty.

It’s good. It’s really good. Kissing Steve is top 5– nay, the top moment of his life so far. Somehow, it’s made all that much better knowing the build-up behind it. Knowing that Steve knows he isn’t just kissing him for a heat of the moment — that Eddie wants kisses here, kisses before bed, in the morning, on dates. Eddie wants Steve.

And with the way he kisses, Eddie’s pretty sure Steve wants him just as bad.

It doesn’t take long for Steve to reach what Eddie decides is an ultra pretty fuckin’ state; lips swollen from kisses, cheeks flushed, hair a little mussed up. He bets he looks no better. The thought makes him grin, enough they have to break the kiss ‘cos Eddie can’t stop his stupid happy grin ‘cos shit— he actually gets to have this Steve.

“What?” Steve asks, somehow half heart-eyed and half suspicious at the mischief in Eddie’s eyes.

“Can I... have a hickie?”

now with a part three !

Question, is there tiny soukoku corruption??????

With big Chuuya around I don't think Tiny would ever need to use Corruption. His tiny gravity manipulation isn't as strong.

But you got it in my head so let's picture it: there is this 3cm-tall dude that faintly glows red and throws deadly baseballs around. He's fast, dangerous, and, again, 3cm tall. Good luck catching, or even spotting him.

It's Chuuya who ends up having to catch him and throw him at Dazai like a ping pong ball so Dazai can nullify him. Or maybe throw Tinyzai at him. Your pick.

and then Tiny rolls over and starts snoring the hurt away because he's Chuuya and he's just built different.

HELLO! We do not know each other but tumblr listed you in my “in your vicinity” or whatever and I was bored and your top post featured a NOODLE-LEGGED VOID-BEAST on an icy road.

So I drew them

Have an excellent day!

That's such a cool gift, thank you so much!! Noodle-legged void beast is right. And I haven't even trimmed his leg hair to prevent icicles yet, which will make his shape even sillier believe it or not.

You've inspired me to make a collage! using only photos taken in the past week (minus one from last year, I had a gap to fill). Here it is:

The title is "The Shape of Pandolf."

Ink Demonth (day 31) : The End ?

Saw this ask in my inbox and thought that since I'd been wanting to take part in the Ink Demonth for a year, it would be a good idea to respond to it while linking it to the last day’s theme :)

I haven't drawn that stinky guy in awhile, so It was a challenge.

I can say that Haunted Attraction will wrap up around the end of this year. I don't have a specific date in mind but I'm hoping to get it released by then!! I'm doing a majority of the work and Man Does It Suck. I'll be posting more updates soon!! Thank you for taking interest in my degenerate dating game.
