S2 Walty snippets series [complete]

With the final season of Young Royals almost upon us, I've been taking stock of my fics and decided to scrap the second chapter to Like you better. There is always a chance of me returning to it someday, but I don't think it really brings anything new to the fic.

That means my little series of S2-compliant Walty fics is complete, and since I never made a proper series post, here's some shameless self-promo (ft. comment quotes):

Sflow's S2 Walty snippets

S2-compliant Henry or Walty fics. The first two are consistent with each other, the last one is separate. Any of them can easily be read as a standalone. Henry is ace as always in my fics, but the depiction of his asexuality and the nature of his relationship to Walter varies.

Bright ideas: ~5k, T, platonic Walty "I love how no matter how short this little one-shot is, it still has a complete narrative structure (--) I giggled from start to finish"

Henry's motivation for rowing has been on a downward spiral all winter. He gets a little lost inside his head trying to avoid punishment for being late, until Walter tells him to get home for something exciting. Cue an awkward walk-by when Wilmon are trying to have an important talk, some related thoughts, a discussion with Walter, and an invitation for Wille to join some ridiculous shenanigans.

OR: A missing moment/scene expansion for s2ep2 (written for YR week 2023) that shows us what Henry was up to before, during and after the locker room scene. My attempt at crack.

Like you better: ~2k, T, queerplatonic OR romantic Walty "I didn't know I needed queerplatonic fanfics that much. It makes me so happy!"

After the masquerade ball, Walter comes home to Henry, who is newly recovered from a migraine attack. A bit of talk about girls, their friendship, and Henry's recent revelation of his asexuality ensues. Along with some cuddles.

OR: A super fluffy missing moment between Walty at the end of s2ep4. Can be read as either queerplatonic or romantic, your choice!

Last chance: ~7k, T, romantic Walty Not consistent with the other parts of the series! "beautifully crafted (--) second chapter was amazing and gentle and like being hugged through my phone screen"

As Henry and Walter's friendship takes a romantic turn, Henry decides to take the last chance to come out to his best friend before everything changes.

OR: A first kiss + coming out/ace talk + getting together fic set after S2 (written for Ace Awareness Week 2023). Contains discussion of past acephobia, previous sexual experience (not very specific), and aversions (French kissing specifically mentioned, the rest are up to the reader's interpretation). A more sex-favourable take on ace Henry than my other fics (sex doesn't happen in the fic, though). Also, Walter is explicitly gay in this one.

[Like the flutter of your fingertips, like the flickering of lights. You've got your bright ideas but we've got bigger fish to fry. Found you out there on your doorstep, undressed to the nines. From your Sunday best, black and blue velvet dress, your head's a mess and so is mine.]

Hidden Gems

Who doesn’t recognize Mickey Mouse? Even in a crowded space, those iconic round ears give him away—what enthusiasts call a hidden Mickey. Yet, Mickey’s origin lies in the recesses of Walt Disney’s mind, a place where the sun didn’t shine. Who would have envisioned that an imagination could birth a billion-dollar industry? Interestingly, Mickey wasn’t Walt’s initial foray into the idea race.…

How to make the USPS EVEN BETTER

Universal Postal Identification

Yes, it is a service, and everyone EV. ER. Y. ONE. in the United States should be able to use the post office, ideally FOR FREE, or at least for low cost.

One thing that would shake things all the way up would be a Universal Postal Identifier. You, a resident of the United States, would be entitled to a Universal Postal Identification Code. For our purposes, let's say it's an alphanumeric code like ABC-0001-23. You get it your whole life long. It never changes. You change your name, it's the same, you move, it's the same, and changing both of those is easy.

If someone wants to send you something, they pop your UPIC on the envelope and boy howdy there it goes. The Post Office tags it to where you tell it you are. If that's a mailing address, great, if it's a P.O. Box, great. But no one has to know where you live except the post office.

Routing mail becomes easier! You don't have to tell the Post Office where to route your stupid-ass Kickstarter that won't let you change your address. You can fill out a digital change of address form much easier.

MORE THAN THAT, every resident of the US (not citizen, RESIDENT) who has a UPIC is entitled to a P.O. Box. This means that if you're homeless, in a domestic abuse situation, away at school, or otherwise need a safe place to receive mail, you just... HAVE IT. Employers can ask for your UPIC but legally can't ask for your address. That's privileged information, and can help reduce homeless discrimination.

Importantly, tampering with the USPS's address identification system would have to be Big Crime Times. Huge. So if your abuser is trying to track you down, and they try to do it through your UPIC, that's mail tampering and that is a federal crime.

EVEN BETTER, by keeping this information private, the USPS can effectively put it behind a paywall for other shipping services that already use the USPS for a lot of last-mile operations, and make that service pay for all the other programming. FedEx wants to know how to send a package to user BNX-1234-89? Database access will be folded into the shipping cost.

Can you change your code? OF COURSE YOU CAN. It's a process, like dealing with identity theft.

I have (obviously) thought a lot about this, but I've surely missed something. What is it? And do you know the ways in which I could make this happen?

The Rage of Two Brothers

The world could only look in fear as an image is shown throughout the world. As two white haired figures raced throughout the sky. The image split to show them both.

One is covered in an inferno, the colors always shifting as he destroyed the land. The two figures fighting him were Wonderwoman and Shazam. The heroes being pushed back with ease.

The land scorched as even from so far apart they could feel his blazing rage.

The second figure only trailed the silent lands. Without a word, the area froze in his silent fury. Spires of ice shot up impaling military machines and encasing soldiers. His eyes only looked forward as he traveled.

Until Superman stood in front of him, trying to calm the being. When a white flash covered the screen, as it ebbed, many could see the man of steel encased in ice.

The man walking past the alien, still walking forward.

Suddenly, Wonderwoman had ensnared the being withing her lasso.

"Speak Spirit! Why are you here? The lasso of truth compels you!" Diana shouted, her grip tightening despite the burns along her arm.

The fire spirit growled as he form shifted, instead of the fire collosus, stood a a tall humanoid figure.

His white hair flowed like fire, his athletic form was covered in a blood red button up, and ash gray pants. His snarling face showing elongated canines and blood red eyes.

"You think this will hold me, Amazon!" He shouted, his voice filled with viseroul anger, that it caused many to flinch.

"I repeat! Why are you here?!" She shouted as she reaffirmed her stance.

As this was going down the icy figure stopped, and turned slightly, as if he was looking at something.

Then the fire deity shifted, as if another being took control, his once red eyes became red and blue. While red was a raging fire, blue was a cold fury.

"Leave Princess Diana of Themyscara, Shazam Champion of Magic, the only reason you live is because your roles are needed," he? They, spoke two voices overlapping each other.

One being the fire spirit's voice, the other a cold and emotionless tone probably belonging to the Ice being.

As the two heroes flinched, they looked to enother. Before Diana's eyes hardened as she turned towards the ensnared creature.

"I ask again spirits! Why are you here?" Diana commanded, as the spirit grunted from the lasso's power. Before the two figures opened their mouth in tandem.

"WHERE IS OUR SISTER!" They shouted in tandem before their powers burst in a flurry.

No longer restrained by their physical forms, the beings power flowed throughout the lands. The heroes only stared, unable to do anything. As the two brothers unleashed their fury, trying to find their missing sister.
