[witherby]

Hello! I was just wondering if we could get some more Punchline + Joker Junior content? I absolutely loved the first fic you did about them. Take all the time you need, don't rush 💓

I loooove these two and I'm happy to write for them some more! Hope you enjoy!

Punchline: Bonded Pair

3900+ words

⚠️ mention of unsafe living conditions, lack of self preservation instincts, parentification, technically kidnapping?, and threats of death/injury ⚠️

Masterlist is Here!

Popsy's been gone for more than two days, which means Batsy hauled him off to the loony bin again.

You and your brother have to fend for yourselves until he comes back, which is fine. It's a monthly occurrence. You know you have to lie low and not cause trouble when Popsy's away because that's Popsy's job. The best little kiddos are the ones that are neither seen nor heard unless otherwise ordered, he always says, and you're the best of the best!

So, instead of prepping explosives and building elaborate traps, you walk soundlessly across the hideaway to go find your most favoritest person in the whole world.

The concrete of the warehouse is cold under your bare feet and you can hear sirens in the distance. You dance around barrels of firearms and explosive materials, dodge the scurrying rats and roaches littering the floor, and climb up walls and broken ladders with ease to reach the upper floors where your brother is hiding.

Getting up onto the rafters, you spread your arms for balance and toe along the beams. You spot your target hunched over a small pile of scraps and tech across the way and approach him with a grin. You hold in a snicker as you make to leap on top of him, but at the last second he turns and grabs you around the waist with a grin.

"Gotcha!" He cheers. You squirm in his hold, laughing.

"No fair! No fair! How'd ya know I was coming!?"

"Felt the bar wobbling." JJ sets you down and taps the rafter. You feel the subtle vibrations under your hands when you touch the metal and click your tongue, disappointed. You'd get him next time. "What's up? Besides us, ha!"

"Bored!" You scurry past him and grab up what he was working on, holding it up to the moonlight trickling between the busted roof panels. "Whatcha makin' today? Can I help? Can I, can I?"

JJ chuckles and beckons for the device. You comply, handing it over and sitting down right next to him. He holds it in such a way that you can see everything he's doing, always happy to share with you and always happy to explain. That's one of the reasons you adore him so much.

"This is a signal jammer," he explains, flipping the little gadget over to show you the wiring on the back. "This panel here is programmed to send out a frequency that makes technology go all wiley! Radios can't broadcast, cameras can't record, cellphones can't call, yadda yadda."

"But how's the jammer know not to jam itself?" You ask, leaning down to examine the paneling more closely, as if it'll help you understand it any better. It's practically gibberish to you no matter how you think about it.

JJ giggles. "D'ya want me to tell you all the boring specifics, or do you wanna go play tag again?"

You hide your grin behind your hand and kick your feet, giddy. Your big brother always knows you prefer to be more active when you're left to your own devices. He's so smart! JJ can read and write and work on tech and strategize with Popsy — he's the coolest clown in town!

"You're It!" You cry, pinching his arm, then leap off the rafters.

Or, at least you try. A hand clutches your wrist, quick as lightning, which stops your momentum. You tip your head back to find JJ holding you up and staring at you with wide, blue eyes. His smile is thin and wobbly and his breathing is sharp.

"Punchline!!" He cries. "We're eighty feet in the air!"

You snort, hanging limp in his grasp, and make no move to help him lift you back up.

"I can't get hurt, remember?" You swing your legs back and forth, rocking your body. His grip gets tighter on your hand, registering the change of pressure without the pain, which just proves your point. "You're silly! This doesn't count, you have to let me get a headstart when you're It!"

JJ leans back and pulls on you with all his might, groaning from the effort. His voice echoes throughout the warehouse and you can see his arms straining under his shirt sleeves. Slowly but surely, he's able to get you high enough to pull you back onto the beam, and wraps his arms around your waist.

"Let's play on the ground," he says like it's a suggestion, but you know by the tone of his voice that it's not. It's his "no more nonsense" tone, the one he uses when Popsy's in a bad mood or when you have to be quiet when relocating to a new secret base. You've learned to obey that tone very well. That tone keeps you safe.

When he stands, he hauls you over his shoulder like a rag doll. You huff and whine and complain without actually putting up a struggle, but his arms lock around you like a vise anyway, so you just pick at a loose thread on the back of his collar as he makes the journey back down the rafters.

"No fun," you grumble, "no fun, no fun."

"Just because you can't feel when a bone breaks means you should break it," Junior says. He adjusts his grip on you as he starts to climb down some old scaffolding, shimmying carefully to the ground. "Harder to play when you can't walk."

"I guess..." You concede. You can walk on broken legs just fine. You've done it before, but it was admittedly much easier when they weren't broken.

"Glad we agree!"

Despite your protests, you giggle. When your brother's feet touch the floor, he puts you down and forces you to put your shoes on, citing that glass and rusty nails in your feet is still a nuisance even if it doesn't hurt. Once the laces are fastened you immediately take off in a sprint, starting the game.

JJ's always taken great care of you even though you don't really need it anymore. It's been his job since you were born. Popsy doesn't do babies. They're a lot of effort and time he doesn't have, especially when he's busy building the next great game for the Bat and his Birds to play. While Popsy plays with them, you and JJ entertain each other! It's always been that way, and it's lots of fun coming up with new games during the downtime.

"Ten..." JJ calls, smirking as he watches you go. "Nine...eight...sevensixfive —"

"Cheater!" You squeal, hearing his footsteps kick up behind you, and run faster. "Play fair!"

"Fourthreetwoone!" He laughs, sprinting for you. "IIII'm comiiiing, P!!"

You hop over a crate of weaponry and shriek with laughter when your brother follows suit a few seconds later, vaulting and jumping and running after you through the warehouse with only moonlight to guide your way. His past as a Bird makes him exceptionally fast and agile, but he's taught you enough tricks that you can generally keep him at bay for a bit.

You weave between two barrels that he flips over. You dart past a pallet propped against the wall and flip it down behind you, forcing him to duck under it. You squeeze into a dusty air vent he's just a hair too big to fit, his arm reaching uselessly for your hunched figure.

"Cheater," he pants, winded from the chase. His grin is softer. Authentic. You feel yours shift to match. The genuine mirth buzzes around in your chest like a moth around light.

"Takes one to know one," you sing-song, wiggling your fingers just out of his reach. He makes a strong attempt at grabbing you, but you draw back and giggle. "Truce?"

"Yeah," he quickly agrees. "You're It next?"

You nod. When he moves out of the way, you crawl out of the vent and sit on the floor beside him, shoulders touching, and catch your breath together. You tip your head in his direction since he's sitting on your right, in case he has something to say. He notices and props his chin on top of your head.

"Ready?" He asks after a few minutes. You nod, and together you climb to your feet. "Alright. Tag!"

He gently touches your shoulder then takes off across the warehouse. A few mice scatter on his approach and he's careful not to trample any.

"Ten, nine, eight," you call, rocking back and forth on the balls of your feet. Unlike your silly older brother, you're going to play fair and square so you can rub your victory in his face.

"Seven, six, five..."

You lose sight of JJ, but that's fine. The game's more fun when it turns into Hide and Tag.

"Four, three, two, one! HERE I COME, JJ!"

You run in the direction you saw him last, moonlight your only guide, and keep your eyes peeled for any motion in your periphery. So far it's just wood and metal all around you, nothing but your shoes clicking against the floor as you go.

"I'm gonna geeeet youuuu~" you coo, perking up when a shadow shifts a few yards ahead. You rush toward the motion and swerve to avoid crashing into the stacked bottles of acid your Popsy had you collect the other day. "A-ha!"

A Bird stares at you, wide-eyed and dead silent as he white-knuckles a small cluster of papers in his hands. You recognize them as Popsy and JJ's blueprints for some future trap designs. His jaw is practically on the floor, as though believing his garish colors and obvious movement in your living space weren't going to get him noticed. Granted, you thought you'd noticed your brother, but that's a moot point.

Neither of you moves for a few seconds, just staring at each other with incredulity. You've never met another person that wasn't Popsy, JJ, or one of Popsy's henchmen before. You don't know what to do.

"J-Junior," you stammer, grin crooked and heart thundering in your ear. You take a step back, and the Bird seems to come back to himself at that. "Junior!!"

"I won't hurt you," the Bird says, quickly tucking the papers into a pocket. He reaches a hand out to you and steps forward. You turn and bolt, running for your mallet. "Wait!"

"Beat it, Birdy!!" You shout, grabbing the handle of your weapon and swinging wide. The intruder just barely avoids getting his skull caved in. He takes a combative stance, hands balled into fists as he finally gets the hint and puts some distance between you.

"This is not the move to make," he says, scowling now. You sneer at him and twirl the mallet between your hands, glancing left and right for any signs of your brother. "I didn't come here to fight. We can discuss this peacefully."

"Are you deaf?" You taunt, running towards him. You kick a discarded pipe at his face, forcing him to block it, then while he's distracted use a crate as your launch pad to jump at him with your weapon poised to swing down with as much momentum as possible. "I said BEAT IT!!"

The Bird flips backwards to avoid collision. Your mallet hits the concrete with thunderous impact, leaving cracks behind.

You take the offensive, stalking after the Bird and steering him towards the exit. You won't kill him — Popsy's drilled (sometimes literally) into you enough times that if a Bat is gonna die, it's gonna be by his hand — but the sooner he leaves, the sooner you and JJ can round up whatever you can carry and rush to the next hideaway.

"Nightwing, where are you?" The Bird says, pressing two fingers to his ear as you continue to swing at him. "There's a child on the premises with the Joker's motif all over her. I could use someone with your annoying people skills."

He dodges another swipe of your hammer and you see his eyebrows shoot up towards his hairline, stiffening like a board.

"Timothy?" He blurts. Your already frantic heartbeat kicks up even faster.

It makes sense now why JJ wouldn't answer your call — that Nightwing guy must have found him. These stupid Birds have invaded your home and accosted your big brother, and now they're deadnaming him like they've got the right to reclaim your family! Like they've got the right to take him from you! Like they've got the right to intrude on your business!

"His name," you hiss, more snarling than smiling as you kick your leg out and bring the Bird to his knees in surprise, "is JJ!!"

You swing again, hitting him in the stomach, and send the Birdy flying across the warehouse. He hits the ground several yards away and rolls, groaning in pain. You stalk after him with furrowed brows and bared teeth.

"What'd ya do with my big bro!?" You demand. "Tell me quickly before I break Popsy's rule and turn your face into mashed potatoes!!"

The intruder pushes himself up by his hands with a grunt, glaring up at you through the lenses of his domino mask. You lift your mallet in warning.

"Where is he!? I'll give ya to the count of three!"

You bring your mallet down right next to the bird's head, making him flinch back.

"One!"

You do it again, this time just barely missing his knee as he tries to get to his feet. He stumbles back and lands on his ass, hurriedly crab-walking away from you.

"Two!"

"Three."

Something pricks your neck, the sensation startling. You flinch and drop the mallet, lifting your hand to touch the needle stuck in your skin. The room starts spinning and swirling, becoming a shadowy merry-go-round in the darkness of the warehouse. You stumble to the side and run into the big, bad Bat himself, who materializes out of nowhere to wrap his arms around you and frown at your slumping body.

Whoops. Probably should've double-checked your surroundings a little better. JJ's situational awareness was always stronger than yours. You'll tell him that when you break out of Arkham with Popsy.

"OhHHhh," you mumble, consciousness fading fast. "BaTSy's here...no...nO fuN...go 'way and...and gimME BAck my...broOotherrrrr..."

Your eyes roll back, your bones turn to jelly, and you're gone.

--

You do not wake up in Arkham. You groggily peel your eyes open to find a plain, beige cell all around you. To your left is a bed, on the back wall is a curtain hiding a toilet and a showerhead, and there's a sink in the right corner. On the ceiling, you lock eyes with a security camera, and when you push yourself into an upright position, you look through the clear, cell door to see a dark corridor clearly carved into a cave.

You're in a cell in the Batcave. How curious.

You push yourself to your feet, shaky from the leftover effects of the sedative, and press your hands against the door, pushing against it with a quiet grunt. It doesn't yield and, based off the panels you've worked with when Popsy's building a new trap, feels bulletproof.

With that avenue of escape gone, you wander to the center of the room and sink to your knees, wrapping your arms around yourself and sighing wistfully as your head gently rests against the wall.

You aren't used to being alone. Is JJ also in the cave, or did the Bats put him somewhere else? Maybe he escaped and he's on his way to Arkham to go get Popsy before they swing back around for you. No, they probably put him somewhere else; they called JJ by his old name, so they must want him for something. You don't know what for, and the lack of anything you can do in here is making your skin buzz. You just want to go back to the warehouse and play Hide and Tag with your family.

You must have dozed off again, because the next thing you know you're jolted awake by animalistic screaming down the hall and several, panicked voices are shouting at someone to calm down. You hear something shatter and a batarang goes flying past your door, which startles you.

"Get the fucking sedative out!!"

"I'M WORKIN' ON IT, ASSHOLE, JUST KEEP HIM STILL!"

You watch Batman rush past your door without sparing you a glance, jaw clenched and hands formed into fists. The shrieking gets even louder and the sounds of struggle more intense.

"WHERE IS SHE!?"

Oh, that shrieking is JJ. A wave of discomfort rolls down your spine and makes your fingers and toes numb. Is he upset because you haven't broken out of your cell yet? You're normally pretty fast at escaping bonds and cages, you've had lots of practice, but the sedative had made you so sleepy! That's not your fault!

"Tim, please calm —"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Your brother shouts. There's another hard thump and sounds of a struggle. A syringe rolls down the hallway and stops in front of your door. "WHERE IS SHE!? WHERE'S MY SISTER!!"

It's worry, you realize. JJ is worried for you. He takes his role as your big brother very seriously, so much so that this is the longest you've ever spent apart, and you're still just in the same building. You don't want him to be worried.

"JJ!" You call, pressing your hands to the glass. "I'm here!"

Everything quiets for a moment. You don't move. You don't breathe. You hold your good ear to the glass to listen.

"Punchline?" He calls.

"I'm in here, JJ!" You respond.

"C'mere," your brother immediately says, in his no-nonsense tone. You glance at the door and the keypad you have no hopes of hacking. The complicated, techy stuff is beyond you. You're the muscle and he's the brains, a dynamic you've been very comfortable with until now.

"I can't," you admit. "I can't get out!"

"...Tim, don't —"

More scuffling. Someone groans in pain. It's not JJ; you know what his pain sounds like, and that's not it.

"Let her go."

"One of you please go grab the goddamn sedative!"

"Give my sister back to me, right now."

"There's no need for violence. Get the knife away from your brother's throat —"

"I DON'T HAVE ANY BROTHERS!" JJ shouts. "GIVE MY LITTLE SISTER BACK TO ME NOW!"

You're so absorbed in the conversation down the corridor that you completely miss the man in the suit in front of your cell. He presses a few buttons on the keypad and you step back from him when the door slides open.

It's a geezer. What little hair is left on his head is snow white and he's dressed up in a fancy schmancy tuxedo. His gaze is piercing, but non-threatening as he looks at you.

"Terribly sorry to disturb you, madam," he says, voice gentle as he offers you a hand, palm up. "My name is Alfred Pennyworth. Might I request your aid? Your brother seems to be in quite the fright, and I think we've made a grievous error in separating such a bonded pair. Please, allow me to correct that at once."

"...what?" You blurt, smile thin. "You wanna give me AIDS?"

Alfred's expression gets a little tight. He takes a deep breath and starts talking again.

"Apologies for the confusion. I'd like to bring you to your brother. May I?"

Oh! Finally, somebody talking sense! You grin and take his hand, stepping out of the cell and turning your head towards the commotion.

JJ is standing tall and has a Bird on his knees in front of him, one hand fisted in his hair and the other holding a blade to his throat. You're pretty sure it's the one called Nightwing, but you wouldn't bet on it. The shorter Bird you fought in the warehouse is standing next to Batman and holding his dislocated shoulder while a thin line of blood runs down his temple. A big guy, like beefy as shit, in a red helmet is aiming a gun at your brother's head. And Batman is standing with his hands up in placation, trying and failing to take the pacifist route.

"JJ!" You exclaim, happy he's okay. Five heads turn to face you, and you let go of Alfred's hand to run to his side.

JJ lets go of the hand in the Bird's hair to hug you tight, then ushers you to stand behind him. The other hand keeps the knife in place.

"You hurt?"

"Silly question," you mumble, but indulge him anyway. "I'm right as rain, now that you're here!"

He nods, ice blue eyes roaming across all the birdies in the hall with you. Everyone else stares right back, tense and motionless.

"We're bottlenecked, P," he murmurs eventually. "Might haveta enjoy a little vacation in one of these cells 'till Popsy breaks out again."

You shrug, threading your fingers with his free hand. "Together?"

"Together," he says firmly. The fancy butler nods easily, waving his arm.

"You won't be separated again," Alfred promises. "Please, let's cease the violent altercations and all take a rest. Let me move you to a bigger room you two can share."

JJ gives you his full attention. You read the silent question in his gaze.

It's up to you to decide. You can fight your way to freedom or let them herd you into another box for the time being.

You quirk your lips, considering, then shake your head. The warehouse was getting a little boring anyway, and a fight could get your brother hurt.

"Lead the way, Penny Wenny!"

The knife is discarded and Nightwing quickly moves to the side, rubbing his neck and shooting your brother a weird look. The beefy guy lowers his gun. You keep your hands linked and follow the fancy butler to a larger cell with a bigger bed, which JJ tugs you to, and you curl up in his lap while he watches the door with a pensive quirk of his lips. Alfred bows and then leaves, the only sounds now being hushed conversation down the hall.

"You're not hurt?" JJ asks again. You shake your head. "Okay."

"Sorry, JJ," you sigh. "I tried t'get the baby bird to tell me where ya were, but then they pricked me and I woke up here. I wasn't payin' good enough attention..."

JJ gives you a gentle squeeze, resting his chin on the top of your head.

"Not your fault. These guys ain't no joke, P. I would know. I won't let them separate us again."

You hum, knocking your feet together as you come to terms with your new, temporary living space. You can adapt anywhere as long as your brother is around.

Click. Click. Click.

not sure if ur taking requests rn but was wondering if you could do yellowjackets w someone who does photography/yearbook?

Yellowjackets With Photographer Reader!

A/N: I apologize in advance If I got your request wrong! I'm mainly writing headcanons these days, so that's what I went along with. Still, I hope you enjoy and devour this.

Jackie Taylor:

Jackie absolutely adores the attention you give her when you photograph her. Whether you told her yourself or not, she will insist that she's the best subject you've ever had. She'll suggest stuff like poses or candid shots she thinks would show her natural charm every once in a while.

Jackie is not particularly knowledgeable about photography but still, she'll try to impress you with comments like “That angle looks professional, right?” from time to time—she doesn't care if it may or may not make her look like an absolute idiot who is in love with you, she'll still do it.

When you tell her that you care more about capturing genuine moments, she's surprised. While you do like photographing Jackie from time to time, she always looks so guarded when you capture her. But after what you told her? She starts relaxing and letting her guard down around you.

Jackie secretly keeps any polaroid or printed photo you took of her tucked into her journal or locker. It's silly, she knows. But she doesn't want anyone else other than her to know about what you guys do. What you guys have seems like something special, and she'll be damned if she lets someone ruin it for her.

Shauna Shipman:

Shauna is fascinated by the way you see the whole world through your camera. She asks about your process from time to time. And just loves listening to you ramble on about all things involving or related to photography like lighting and composition.

She’s shy about being in front of the camera at first but eventually she does let you take a few pictures of her. And those pictures? All of it quickly becomes her favorite. Though, she wouldn't admit it right away to you—insisting she loves all of your pictures and not just those of her or with her.

If you ever show her a particularly good shot, she’ll quietly murmur stuff like “you’re really talented” with this small genuine, soft smile plastered on her face. There's a whole lot more she wants to tell you, but she isn't sure herself if you'd like to hear it or not.

When you're developing film in your darkroom, Shauna offers to help you even though she’s completely clueless about it. Why? Well, the heart makes you do silly things. And she just wants to spend time with you. Even if it could make her look like an idiot for it.

Taissa Turner:

Tai loves your photography and how it gives you this kind of unique perspective on certain things. She respects how much effort you put into it. And guess what? She's the one often encouraging you to enter competitions or submit your work to the school paper.

She's so proud of you and your own talent that it's to the point she ends up bragging about you every once in a while to her friends without even realizing it. She isn't aware of that herself until someone points it to her or after she's done with bragging about you to them.

Tai is camera-shy. Though despite that, she’ll agree to let you photograph her during soccer practice. But only when the team is winning and such! She'll tell you stuff like “no one wants to see me looking exhausted!” and so, when you're around photographing her.

If she notices you focusing on other people too much, she'll playfully tease you about why she isn’t your main subject yet. Or if she doesn't tease you about that, she'll tease you about how your eyes keep wandering to other people when it should be on her, your muse.

Van Palmer:

Van would think what you do is the coolest thing ever, even if you thought otherwise. No doubt, she would constantly joke about being your favorite subject. Aside from that, she'd probably pose funny and pull a ridiculous face in most photos you take of her.

She doesn't know much about your stuff but she's genuinely curious about it, especially the technical side of it. She would ask you a ton of questions and maybe even offer to help you develop your photos if you needed it (even if she knew only a little of it).

Van would suggest these fun places for you to take photos, always outing with you and basically having these mini photo expeditions with her. Besides those, she would help your gear without any complaints. But with that comes the endless jokes about photography!

She will always be the first one to hype up your work, just proudly showing it off to her friends and telling everyone how talented you—her lover is. If you ever doubted your work, Van would be there to remind you of all the great shots you've taken and just how amazing you are at what you're doing.

Natalie Scatorccio:

Natalie would lowkey be fascinated by the stuff you do. BUT! She wouldn't want to come off as too interested in it. So, she plays it cool. Saying things like "that's pretty badass" when you share your work to her. She loves all of your works but those raw shots you have are mainly her favorites.

She volunteers every once in a while to help scout interesting places for your shoots, using it as an excuse to just spend more time with you. If you wanted to take pictures of her, she'd act indifferently about it. But she's not fooling you, you know she secretly loves it.

Nat would be hella reluctant to take any photos you took of her, even if you told her it's no big deal and such. But she always budges in the end. She keeps any photos you took of her real closely, practically tucking them away like precious treasures she doesn't want anyone else to see.

She appreciates how you see beauty through photography. And aside from that, she really admires how you can find something meaningful or beautiful in ordinary moments. In ordinary things. You offered to show her how to use a camera once, and now she can't stop herself from taking pictures of you when you allow it,

Lottie Matthews:

Lottie would be extremely supportive of your photography. I mean, photography is a form of art and self-expression after all. And Lottie, contrary to what some people think, is a woman of art. She's always asking to look through your portfolio or recent shots.

She'd love being photographed by you, especially if it focused on more natural candid moments. Oh, and if it was set in natural settings like fields or forests. Besides the fact that your shots make her feel seen in a way no one else does. Your pictures of her are always oddly intimate and comforting to her.

Lottie has a lot of connections. So whether you expected it or not, she's almost always talking about you and recommending you to well-off people she knows would love to have their photos taken. Bet your ass that you're almost always being dragged to these fancy meetings between well-off people.

If you ever doubted your talent or got insecure about your work, Lottie is immediately marching up to you and reassuring you about it. She'll tell you all about how your photos have a lot of deep meanings (whether they do or don't) and that your talent is a gift that's meant to be shared.

Laura Lee:

Laura Lee would see your photography as a beautiful talent given to you by the man from above. She wouldn't fully understand the artistic side of it but she would appreciate your passion and dedication towards it though. She'll often encourage you to take shots of beautiful things, kissing you after it as a thank you.

She'd be a bit shy about being photographed but she would always let you take pictures of her if it made you happy. The thing is that she'd almost always ask to see every photo you took of her though, just to make sure she looked appropriate in it and so.

Just like Lottie, Laura Lee would love being photographed in natural settings like fields or forests. Why? Well, nature is one of the first creations of the man from above after all. Besides that, she really loves it when you capture her through meaningful moments between you guys.

If you ever felt discouraged with photography, she would encourage you to trust in your talent and in the man from above's plan. She would definitely offer you prayers and reassurance about it. Laura Lee in general believes in you a lot and aside from that, she sees what you do as something inspiring. Something joyful.

Misty Quigley:

Misty would be incredibly enthusiastic about your photography, probably a little too enthusiastic. She'd want to know every detail about the process and might even try to involve herself in it more than you'd want her to. She'd ask a lot of questions about it, like how you choose your subjects and so.

She would absolutely adore being photographed by you and she'd take it without a doubt as a sign of how deeply in love you are with her. She'd probably get a little possessive from time to time, especially when you're focusing your camera on someone else. She wants you to focus it on her more than anyone else.

Misty definitely would insist on being your main subject a lot, posing exaggeratedly over it while trying to be your muse. Her efforts come off as overbearing a lot. But hey, this is the girl that you saw and decided to like. The girl you choose to take out as your girlfriend. No complaints!

Despite how intense she could come off as sometimes, she genuinely does admire your talent and even goes to extreme lengths behind your back to help you succeed whether you asked for it or not. If you ever shared your photos with others, Misty would brag about it as if you're up and coming prodigy of some sort.

Bang Chan

When you announced to the boys that you were pregnant it was safe to say that boys were over the moon. Hell, the restaurant you and Chan decided to invite boys to and annoynce the news almost banned you from how loud you were being. You were immediately showered with questions like how long you were due, when would the baby be born, if you knew the gender, everything! They were really excited to be uncles.

Ever since one could only imagine how protective they were of you. Chan and the boys did their best to support you in any way, you didn't even have to lift a finger now, everyone kept doting on you and the baby. You were also swarmed with countless questions about the baby, if you needed anything, if you craved anything, if you felt the baby kick and ect... Listening to them alone you already knew that your baby was going to be spoiled rotten. Even though you found it adorable hearing their plans and what great uncles they were going to be, you knew at some point you would have to to sit them down and talk about boundaries. Which was an impossible task! Because now as Innie talked to you (mostly your babybump) all cute and excited how much things he was going to teach the kid and how he was going to bring them with him to the coolest events ever and stuff. He even bought up an idea of maybe even convincing and possibly setting up a deal with Alexander McQueen for having your kid as the cutest model ever, Mind you the baby wasn't even born yet. As the baby of the group who was always babied and doted on he was the most excited having someone small around so he could be this cool reliable hyung to. You and Chan found it absolutely adorable how giddy he was. Heck you even made a promise to him, after convincing him to keep this a secret, much to his dismay and out of everyone's earshot, that he'd be the one to hold the baby first out of the boys once the baby was born.

Chan couldn't help but smile once you saw Innie who normally hated physical contact soundly asleep with his head on your shoulder, with you snuggling next to him all cutely. He couldn't help but to take a picture of you two, smiling, excited the most of all for the baby to be born.

Lee Know

Once you announced your pregnancy everyone was extatic. They all hugged and congratulated you, asked you hundreds of questions they were curious about. You really loved how excited they were for and you were more than happy to answer all their questions even the silliest ones. The evening was peaceful, everyone was here gathered at your house and you were spending lovely time, but everything changed when the fire nation attacked, meaning, someone, you really didn't catch who, but probably Jisung, asked if you had decided who was going to be the baby's godfather, and let's just say the hell broke loose after that, the kind not even the avatar could salvage. One second there was silence the next thing you knew was that everyone kept screaming and yelling at each other. You and Chan watched from afar, thankfully he was mature enought not to cause a scene, which couldn't have been said about your husband who was also yelling some incoherent stuff. Chan tried his best to solve the situation but at some point even he had to get involved in the fight to stop it. Everyone was yapping about god knows what at this point, you sat there on the coutch watching from the couch sipping your drink, praying that your neighbours wouldn't call the cops on you.

Jisung sat down next to you after a while all sad and pouty. The boys were yelling about something else now but you didn't really pay much attention to it. "It's not fair right! I'm Minho's and your closest friend, I should be the godfather right?" You couldn't help but huff out a laugh about Jisung's dramatic outburst. "Really Ji? The fact that I'm the one thirdwheeling whenever you're around my husband, which is a lot I might add, isn't enough for you and now you're coming for my baby too?" You couldn't help but raise your eyebrow at the audacity, Jisung looked taken aback but he quickly gathered himself and gave you the biggest smile ever. "Pretty please?" His eagerness was actually kind of endearing, you couldn't help but laugh. "I'll think about it little homewrecker." You were barely done with your sentence when Jisung basically quickly but also really carefully wrapped his arms around you and kissed your cheek very eagerly. You stayed cuddled up like that for a while and chatted for a bit while everyone was at each other's throats. Jisung talked to your bump all excitedly that he couldn't wait to meet them and that he was going to be the coolest godfather ever. Next thing you knew he was asleep still cuddled next to you. How this boy managed to fall asleep in this absolute chaos was beyond you but it was cute. Your eyes met Minho's who only raised his eyebrow at you, intrigued on what went on while he was distracted, you gave him a wink in return. You lovingly stroked your bump, You really couldn't wait for the baby to be born.

Changbin

When you and Changbin announcede that you were pregnant to the boys they were beyond extatic. They were about to pounce on you and give you the biggest hug ever but thankfully Binnie and Chan stopped them in time and warned them to be careful with you. So instead all of them decided to basically jump on your poor binnie, who was on the floor in seconds with 7 bodies on top of him, and hopefully without a concussion.

After that everything went smoothly, the boys tried to be as supportive as ever and helped you in every way they could. Your sweet Husband was also an absolute Godsend. You didn't know what you would do without him. Even now he basically helped you with everything. You really wanted to have a gender reveal party and he really jumped out of his skin trying to make everything perfect. The boys also helped out a lot, all of them were really excited to hear the gender of the kid. Jisung even wanted to place a bet but Binnie quickly stopped him by softly whacking him on the head.

The party went perfectly, your sweet husband even made the impossible possible. It was just perfection. Also everyone was so excited when they heard that you were going to have a baby girl. Binnie even burst out crying while hearing the news. You really couldn't wait for your sweet angel to be born.

You were having time of your life when Hyunjin approached you with the sweetest idea ever. He said that he knew that you still hadn't set up a nursery for the baby and suggested that he could paint the room for you and even showed you some of the inspiration he got from the internet earlier. You couldn't help but tear up at how sweet he was being. It was really one of the cutest and meaningful presents ever. Also he was so cute cute talking about how he wanted to help you create the prettiest room for the baby girl, which would be as pretty as her. You and Binnie almost burst out crying, Binnie couldn't help himself and literally almost smothered the poor boy by giving him the tightest hug ever.

You really were so thankful. You spent almost whole evening talking about various designs and ideas. Even the baby must have been really excited because she kicked for the first time that evening. Binnie and you even joked that it must be a genetic thing being obsessed with Hyunjin. Hyunjin got even more excited after witnessing it, and for the whole evening he talked to your bump about the prettiest colours and designs he was going to use for her room so she could have as pretty room as the prettiest girl deserved. You and Binnie couldn't be more grateful to have sweet people like him around especially when others also chimed in and gave you their ideas too.

Hyunjin

When you first announced your pregnancy to Hyunjin poor boy almost fainted, but once the news set in, he was more than overjoyed. He was on top of the world and since day one he was set on for giving your baby the best life possible and to spoil them rotten. You couldn't help but find it endearing how he thought about making every moment special and memorable.

He even planned the most dramatic and over the top way to announce your pregnancy to the boys and family members. He made custom envelopes with custom shirts and letters, ordered the cake which had your due date written on it with see you on top of it, ordered the best drinks and food. Also ordered most beautiful flowers. He was so excited to announce the news he wanted everything to be really beautiful and elegant, maybe it was a little over the top but it was made with taste and what's important with lots of love.

Everyone was over the moon once they heard the news, all of them congratulated you and wished you all the happiness. Hyunjin was over the moon he looked so happy like this was his greatest achievement ever. You couldn't help but tear up everything was so beautiful about this day.

All of the boys were so excited to become uncles. They already started planning how many things they were going to teach your kid, how many cool places they were going to take them too, how they were going to dote on them and spoil them rotten. The baby wasn't due yet but you already knew they were going to be most spoiled and most loved baby ever.

Out of the boys Felix seemed to be the most over the moon, he was so excited to have the baby around, he could barely contain his excitement. Which showed because in next couple of days you had almost every piece of Louis Vuitton's baby line and he had so many more plans too! Imagine that and also countless many presents from the boys too, it was like there was no space left for you and Hyunjin in your own house from all the boxes and envelopes. Of course you and your husband were more than thankful. But felix was really outshining everyone with his gifts. He even sent you his baked goodies which on you happily chewed on. Baby must have really loved his baking and you were really satisfied too with the devine taste.

Hyunjin kept joking that how would it look if baby was covered head to toe in Louis Vuitton when he was Versace ambassador himself. Felix and Hyunjin even jokingly argued which designer brand was better. They even tried to bring you into the little argument. And now you had a little ongoing bet on which designer brand was going to be your baby's favorite. You couldn't help but smile as you eyed the boys who slept on each side of you soundlessly all smiley and cuddled up to you as if they weren't the ones jokingly arguing earlier. You were really grateful that your baby was going to be surrounded with all the love in the world.

Any hcs for billy, eddie, and steve with a mute or nonverbal or S/O? 👉👈

Ooo this is a very unique one! I love it! I included mentions of the reader making sounds, briefly for each character, but everything stays mostly with the reader being entirely mute.

Warnings: Mentions of people being rude/impatient with reader, but nothing crazy or detailed

Billy Hargrove

• At first, Billy doesn’t know how to handle a partner who doesn’t speak, but he quickly realizes that communication isn’t just about words.

• He gets really good at reading your facial expressions and body language. It almost freaks people out how well he understands you.

• Billy is a naturally loud and expressive person, so he starts exaggerating his reactions just to see you smile.

• If you use sign language, he tries to learn. He’s not great at it. Like at all. But he gets the basics down so he can understand you better.

• If you use a notebook or another way to communicate, he’s patient—at least with you. If anyone else rushes you, he’s quick to snap at them.

• If you hum or make small sounds, he lives for it. The first time he hears you laugh—even if it’s just a quiet breath—he gets cocky about it. “Damn, I must be funny as hell.”

• He is extremely protective of you. If anyone gives you a hard time or treats you like you’re incapable, he’s ready to beat their ass in a heartbeat.

• He’ll also call out anyone who talks about you like you’re not there. “They can understand you just fine, asshole.”

Eddie Munson

• Eddie thinks your way of communicating is the coolest thing ever. He immediately wants to learn whatever method you use.

• If you sign, he learns quickly—mostly because he thinks it’s fun. He also creates his own ridiculous signs for inside jokes.

• He starts narrating things dramatically just to make you laugh. “And lo! The great and mighty Eddie has retrieved his most prized possession—this stale cafeteria roll.”

• Eddie is very in tune with your emotions. If you’re overwhelmed or overstimulated, he knows when to step back and when to comfort you.

• He loves playing music for you. If you tap along to the beat, he swears it’s the best review he’s ever gotten.

• He doesn’t pressure you to make any sounds, but if you do, he absolutely melts. He’d never push you, but if you do say something to him, even just once, he’d probably cry.

• He adores inside jokes, and he’s the type to dramatically clutch his chest when you make a sarcastic expression at him. “Ah! A dagger to my heart, princess!”

Steve Harrington

• At first, he’s a little unsure about how to communicate best with you, but he wants to understand. He asks questions and genuinely listens.

• If you sign, he watches so intently when you do it, determined to pick it up as fast as possible.

• If you write things down to communicate, he gets used to it fast—he even starts carrying a little notebook around just in case you need one.

• He is so so patient with you, always giving you the time and space to express yourself however you need to.

• If you’re comfortable with physical affection, he gets really good at reading when you need a hand squeeze, a hug, or just to lean against him.

• Steve is so soft about any little way you show affection. If you touch his face, ruffle his hair, or even just give him a certain look, he’s done for.

• If anyone is rude or dismissive to you, his “mom mode” activates. He goes full protective boyfriend, politely but firmly putting them in their place.

• He sometimes talks for you in a way that makes sense—like when he sees you roll your eyes at something, he’ll go, “Yeah, I know, babe, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”

[moxanji-real]

I just wanna say thank you.

When I made my last post, I was genuinely terrified. I was shaking, panicking, and fully convinced I was going to get hate for opening up. But what I got instead was love. Support. Reassurance. And it honestly made me feel so much better about everything.

So… I decided to be brave again.

I want to reveal the two other men I fell in love with

Leorio Paradinight (Hunter x Hunter)

Leorio is a character I’ve loved since I was 14 years old. Back then, I even had a self insert I shipped with him, but when I stopped watching Hunter x Hunter, I kind of drifted away from it—and him.

But the second I started watching it again? The moment I heard his voice? I fell right back in love.

He’s loud, dramatic, and tries so hard to act cool—but he’s all heart. He wants to save people. He wants to protect others. He gets emotional and flustered and yells when he cares too much, and I adore that about him. He’s real. He’s raw. He’s one of the most genuine characters I’ve ever seen.

And honestly? He gives me major Sanji vibes. Same body type. Same suit. Same dramatic screaming fits. Same huge heart. You already know I was doomed.

Now, meet Jolie—my self insert who is completely, hopelessly, ridiculously in love with him.

Art by PS7K0Yje on crepe

Jolie is silly, immature, and a total weirdo in the best way. She acts all cute and innocent, but she’s secretly chaotic and super embarrassing without even meaning to be. She draws Leorio constantly, idolizes him like he’s the coolest person on Earth, and she genuinely thinks he’s the smartest, strongest, most perfect man alive.

She also loves making him mad, just because she thinks he looks hot when he yells. She’s the type to go, “Oopsie, did I say something dumb again?” just to see him lose it—and she lives for it. And Leorio? He pretends to be annoyed, but he’s obsessed. He finds her hilarious, endearing, and unlike anyone he’s ever met.

They have such a fun, goofy, sweet relationship. They’re like a chaotic little cartoon couple with big feelings. 🥹💞

————————————————————————-

Goemon Ishikawa XIII (Lupin the Third)

I’ve only been in love with Goemon for a few months, but it was instant and intense. It was the fastest I’ve ever fallen for a character.

The moment I saw him blush? That was it. He had me. Heart stolen.

Since then, I’ve watched everything he’s in—all the specials, all the movies, everything. I’ve loved watching him grow and change over 50 years of Lupin the Third. Every version of him—every awkward, intense, oddly romantic version—is still him. And I love every single one.

He’s stoic, calm, and deadly… but also awkward, dramatic, and completely out of touch with modern life. And it’s the contrast that gets me. He’s strong, but he gets flustered. He’s focused, but he’s also emotional in his own quiet way. Every tiny reaction from him means something.

Now meet Eris, my self insert and the woman who absolutely wrecked this poor samurai’s quiet little world.

Art by.. me lmao

Eris is a bold, dramatic, flirtatious former popstar turned phantom thief. She’s elegant, powerful, a total diva on the outside—but inside, she’s messy, emotional, and deeply romantic. She’s all glitter and chaos, all heart and heartbreak. And when she loves, she loves hard.

She loves getting Goemon flustered. She flirts shamelessly, calls him handsome, teases him constantly—and he never knows what to do with himself. But somehow, he never walks away.

They’re opposites: the drama queen and the quiet swordsman. She’s expressive, chaotic, and always talking. He’s stoic, grounded, and silent most of the time. But somehow, they balance each other out. She pulls emotion out of him, and he gives her the calm and stability she craves.

They don’t need to say much. They just feel. Deeply. And honestly? They’re perfect.

Art by Oak1044 on crepe

Now, just to clarify something important—

I view each of these relationships completely separately. These are not One Piece characters, and this isn’t a crossover situation. I use a different self insert for every F/O because each one means something different to me, and I want to honor their individual dynamics. And yes the self inserts are just ocs I kin. That’s why they look so different. Character design is one of my passions. 🥹💕

Sanji, Leorio, and Goemon are serious F/Os for me—and also my IRL romantic partners. I know that sounds intense, but it’s the truth. They bring me so much comfort, love, and emotional support. I am also non sharing with all three of them—so I do ask that those boundaries be respected. I am more lenient with Sanji because I know he’s a very popular f/o but with these other two men? Please DNI if you selfship with them. Thank youuuu!

These self ships mean so much to me. They’ve helped me through dark moments, made me feel creative again, and honestly just made me feel happy. I love them so much more than mere words can say >:’{💞

So thank you again—for the support, for the kindness, for letting me feel safe being myself.

And thank you for letting me share the men I love. 🫶🏻🩷

Now take Goemon sneezing because he’s a baby boy and I love him so much shshhshs

[sergeantbarnessdoll]

Ooo can I please request a platonic!Dad!Steve Rogers fic where he adopts a 4 year old little girl whose parents died during the attack on NY? Maybe the little girl’s parents were shield agents and had her with them at work the day Loki attacked the SHEILD compound to get the scepter because they couldn’t find a babysitter, and her parents died during that attack. Loki takes Y/n with him maybe intending to raise her as his own, as a princess (he wanted to be King of Earth, what better way to continue controlling earth than having a Princess to take over in the future?) and he gives her powers with the scepter. But when the Avengers stop him (at the end of the Avengers movie) they find the little girl that he had taken, and they save her too when they find her hiding somewhere in the room where they stopped Loki (in Stark Tower). Clint was there when her SHIELD agent parents died so he knows who she is and that she’s all alone now. She gets reallyyy attached to Steve (he’s the only one who could get her to come out of her hiding place). Steve ends up adopting her and being the best, most sweetest and loving Dad in the world 🥹 And Y/n would so help her Dad with modern technology (like imagine he gets her and iPad and he has NO CLUE how to use it lol) as Steve at that point had only been out of the ice for about a year I believe so he’s all new to the times (Steve was so adorable in this movie!!)

Imagine when she calls him “Daddy” for the first time!! Steve would absolutely MELT!! And he’d help her control her powers and teach her when she can and cannot use them!

Not Alone » Steve Rogers/Captain America

Pairings: (Platonic) Dad!Steve Rogers x (Platonic) Adopted Daughter!Reader with the Avengers and Loki

It’s not everyday that you get to go to work with your SHIELD Agent parents. They only brought you to work with them, because they didn’t have anyone to babysit you. You promised them that you would be on your best behavior and not get in anyone’s way.

You’ve always loved your parent’s job. You think they have the coolest job ever, especially today. They told you that they get to work with superheroes. You already knew Clint is Hawkeye and Natasha is Black Widow. The other superheroes your parents are working with today are Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk. You’re excited to meet Captain America. He’s your favorite superhero.

“Can I meet Captain America please?” You asked your parents politely.

“You can when he’s done talking to Director Fury, sweetie.” Your mom says.

“Ok, mommy.” You replied.

You went back to coloring in your coloring book. You were practically jumping up and down in your seat with excitement. You wanted to meet Captain America now. You looked up from your coloring book to see that Steve was done talking to Fury.

“Mommy! Daddy! He’s done talking to Director Fury!” You say.

You couldn’t contain your excitement anymore. You jumped down from your chair and ran over to Steve. Your parents chased after you. When you got to Steve, you tapped on his leg to get his attention. Steve looks down at you and smiles.

“Hi!” You smiled widely, waving at him. “I’m Y/N!” You excitedly introduced yourself to him.

“Hi!” Steve smiles back, crouching down to your height. “Can I help you with something?” He asks.

“You’re Captain America!” You said excitedly.

“Yes I am.” He replies. “You can call me Steve though.” He tells you.

“My mommy and daddy said they get to work with you today.” You tell him.

“Oh really? That’s cool!” He says.

You were maintaining a conversation with Steve by the time your parents got to you.

“Honey, you should’ve waited for us.” Your dad says.

“I’m sorry, daddy. I’m sorry, mommy.” You apologized, feeling bad that you didn’t wait for your parents.

“It’s ok, sweetie.” Your mom says softly.

Your dad picked you up and Steve stood upright.

“She doesn’t normally run away from us like that.” Your mom says to Steve.

“She gets excited over superheroes.” Your dad tells him.

“It’s ok. Your daughter is adorable.” Steve smiles at you.

“Can I take a picture with you?” You asked Steve.

“Of course you can!” He smiles.

Your mom grabbed your Polaroid camera she got you for Christmas and your dad carefully put you in Steve’s arms. You and Steve smiled for the picture and your mom took the picture.

“Thank you, Steve!” You say with a smile and hugged him.

“You’re welcome, kiddo!” Steve smiles and hugs you back.

Steve put you back in your dad’s arms.

“Listen to your parents, ok?” Steve says.

“Yes, Captain!” You say, saluting him.

Steve smiles at you when you saluted him. Your parents went back to work while Steve went to work as well. Your parents put you back at the table you were sitting at before you ran over to Steve.

As your parents were working, you drew pictures for Steve. It was a bunch of random little colorful doodles. You asked your parents if you can take the pictures to him and they said yes. You excitedly made your way over to Steve, making sure to not to get in anyone’s way. You climbed up onto the chair next to Steve and put the pictures in front of him.

“These are for you!” You smiled.

“Thank you, kiddo! They’re amazing!” Steve smiles back.

You explained what you drew for him. You told him that you tried to draw his shield, but then you turned it into a flower. Steve smiles at the creativity. You stayed with Steve for as long as you could before he had to get to work on the mission and you went back over to your parents.

———

When Loki somehow escaped the cell he was locked in, all hell broke loose. Steve, Tony, Bruce, Thor, Clint, and Natasha were working together and doing what they could to stop Loki, along with your parents. Your parents hid you somewhere safe before doing their part of the mission. You got scared every time you heard a loud noise, but you knew that your parents and the Avengers had it under control.

Clint was paired up with your parents when they somehow got caught in the crosshairs of Loki. Your parents were shooting at Loki when he aimed his scepter at them and blasted them with it. They got blasted backwards and rubble fell on top of them, killing them instantly. Clint’s eyes went wide and his heart dropped. He ran over to them, moving most of the rubble to get to them. He checked for their pulses, but they didn’t have one.

“Cap, we have a huge problem.” Clint says to Steve in his ear piece.

“What is it, Clint?” Steve asks.

“Y/N’s parents got blasted by Loki and crushed by a pile of rubble.” Clint tells him.

“Are they alive?” Steve asks.

“No. I checked for their pulses, but they didn’t have one.” Clint says.

Steve’s heart dropped. When all of this is over, he has to tell you what happened to your parents.

Meanwhile, you were safely hiding in a building somewhere nearby. Or so you thought. You screamed when you seen what it looks like a metal dragon to you. It hit the building you were in, creating a huge hole in the wall. You didn’t dare to move. You were too scared to move. That’s when Loki entered the building through the hole in the wall. Loki grinned wickedly when he saw you. You screamed and scrambled to stand up, running as fast as you could away from Loki. You didn’t get far. Loki grabbed you and exited the building. You squirmed in his hold on you, trying everything you could to get away from him.

“Stop squirming!” Loki yells.

You froze in his arms. At this point, tears of fear were streaming down your cheeks. Loki stared at you with the same wick grin on his face.

“You would make a perfect princess when I rule Earth.” He says.

Your eyes went wide. You shook your head no frantically. You tried to get out of his hold again.

“Too bad you don’t have a choice, child.” He says.

You seen the tesseract glowing blue in Loki’s scepter. Loki pointed it at you.

“No!” You shouted.

Squirming in Loki’s hold and screaming was no use for you. Loki put his scepter against your forehead, sending a shock throughout your body. He smiles wickedly when he watched your eyes glow green.

“Perfect.” Loki grins wickedly.

You pounded your small fists against Loki’s chest to try to get out of his grasp. What looked like green lightening came out of your hands, making you cry in fear. You were scared to know what it means.

Clint seen Loki flying by. He aimed an arrow at him and shot it at him. Loki caught it with ease, smirking to himself. Then the arrow exploded, sending you and Loki through the window of Stark Tower. You were finally free of Loki’s hold. You ran away from him and hit somewhere in the tower. Hulk came through the same window that you and Loki went through, roaring at him.

“Enough!” Loki shouts as he stood up. “I am a God, you dull creature. I will not be bullied by-” Hulk grabbed Loki, slamming him into the floor repeatedly.

“Puny God.” Hulk says, walking away.

Loki laid on the floor, groaning in pain. After a moment, he sat up and was met by the Avengers who were standing in front of him and staring at him. That’s when they heard whimpers coming from a nearby room.

“Do you guys hear that?” Steve asks, looking at the Avengers.

The Avengers nodded. Steve followed the sound of your whimpers with Clint following next to him. The sound of your whimpers led them to a closed closet door. Steve opened it to see you holding your knees to your chest and crying.

“Y/N?” Steve says softly.

You looked up seeing Steve and Clint. You immediately ran over to Steve, hugging his legs. He bent down to pick you up, holding you close to him.

“You’re ok. You’re safe now.” Steve whispers, rubbing your back to get you to calm down.

Steve and Clint went back to the room the Avengers and Loki was in.

“Is that Y/M/N’s and Y/D/N’s daughter?” Natasha asks.

Steve and Clint nodded.

“I thought they were with you. Where are they?” She asks.

Clint points his head towards Loki. That was enough to tell everyone in the room that your parents died in the hands of Loki. You started freaking out when you seen Loki. Steve tightened his hold on you so you didn’t fall out of his arms, making sure to not hurt you. He sat you on the bar counter and checked you for injuries. You had scratches on your arms and legs, along with a cut on your forehead and cheek.

“Did Loki hurt you?” Steve asks softly.

You nodded your head yes and sniffled.

“What did he do to you?” He asks.

“His sword thing made green lightening come out of my fingers.” You tell him.

“You’re going to be ok. I promise.” He says.

You nodded. Now, here comes the bad news Steve has been dreading on telling you during the whole attack.

“You can handle big girl news, right?” Steve asks.

You nodded your head yes.

“We’re really sorry that we have to tell you this, Y/N.” Clint begins softly. “Mommy and daddy got hurt really bad in the attack.” He tells you.

For a 4 year old, you had a pretty good sense of what Clint meant by that. Tears filled your eyes again and your bottom lip quivered.

“No! Mommy and daddy promised me they would be ok!” You cried.

You full on broke down in tears. Everyone’s hearts broke for you. Steve picked you up and held you as you cried.

“I’m lonely now. I don’t have a mommy and daddy anymore.” You cried against Steve’s shoulder.

“You’re not alone, sweetheart. You have me.” Steve says softly.

You lifted your head and stared at Steve with teary eyes.

“I do?” You sniffled.

“Yes.” He confirms.

You smiled and hugged him. Steve felt a new warmth in his heart. In that moment, he knows what he has to do. He’s going to adopt you and raise you.

The next day, everyone met up where Thor was going to take Loki back to Asgard so they could figure out what to do with him. You ran to Thor and gave him a hug before he left. You ran back over to Steve. He picked you up, holding you. Everyone watched as Thor rose his hammer in the air, sending him and Loki to Asgard. Afterwards, everyone parted ways.

“Are you adopting Y/N?” Clint asks Steve.

“Yes. It’s the right thing to do.” Steve says.

Clint nods in agreement.

———

After that day, Steve got the papers to adopt you and signed them. You were beyond excited when he told you that he’s going to adopt you. He also made it clear to you that he’s never going to replace your parents. He just wants to be an adult you love and trust, in which he is.

He also got you moved into his apartment. He bought you toys, coloring books, stuffed animals, and other things a kid your age might need. Steve stocked the kitchen with your favorite foods and juices. He helps you control your powers when you can’t. He also discussed when and when not to use your powers.

As of right now, you’re watching cartoons and playing with toys in the living room. Steve went out to buy you a present while you’re at home with Clint and Natasha. They always babysit you. You don’t mind it when they babysit you. You just prefer to run errands with Steve. You were so focused on the TV that you didn’t hear the door open when Steve came home.

“Y/N, Steve is home.” Natasha says.

You immediately ditch the cartoon you’re watching and run to the door. You hugged Steve’s legs, smiling up at him.

“Hi, sweetheart.” Steve smiles, crouching down to hug you properly. “Did you have fun with uncle Clint and aunt Nat?” He asks.

“Yes, but I missed you.” You say with a pout.

Steve smiles and kisses the top of your head. He stood upright, walking to the living room where Clint and Natasha are. He thanked them for babysitting you before they left.

“I got you a present.” Steve tells you.

You squealed in excitement and climbed onto the couch, reaching out to grab the bag. Steve chuckles, loving how easily excited you get. He gives you the bag. You reached your hand in the bag and pulled out a skinny white box. You gasped excitedly when you seen the picture on the lid of the box. Steve bought you an iPad. He doesn’t know how to use it, but he’s seen it in commercials on TV and thought you would want one.

“Do you like it?” He asks.

“It’s so cool! I love it, daddy! Thank you!” You say happily.

You put the iPad on the couch and crawled onto his lap, hugging him tightly. Steve felt a warmth in his heart when you called him daddy for the first time.

“Did you call me daddy?” Steve asks, making sure he heard you right.

“Yes.” You looked up at him. “You’re my daddy now, right?” You asked.

“Of course I am, honey.” He smiles, kissing your forehead. “I want you to know I will never replace your real parents, ok?” He says softly.

“Ok.” You replied.

You grabbed the box the iPad is in and opened it. You carefully took the iPad out of the box. You found the on and off button and turning it on. Steve was confused the whole time he was setting it up for you, but he eventually figured it out.

“Can I play games and watch cartoons on it please?” You asked politely.

“Yes you can.” He smiles.

Steve allowed you to download kid friendly games to play and Netflix to watch your favorite movies and shows. He made sure that the movies and shows were kid friendly too. He allowed you to play on it on and off for the rest of the day to get used to it. Steve thought he was going to have a hard time getting you off of it when it was time for bed, but you didn’t give him a hard time. You listened to him and put it down when he told you it was bedtime.

“Daddy?” You say softly and tiredly.

“Yes, sweetheart?” Steve asks as he finishes tucking you into bed.

“I love you.” You say before falling asleep.

“I love you too, kiddo.” He whispers, kissing the top of your head.

Steve made sure you had a stuffed animal and turned on your night light before leaving your bedroom. He left it open a crack just in case you needed him sometime throughout the night.

Steve wasn’t sure how he was going to fit in the 21st century, but he figured it out when he adopted you. Even though, you’re not his biological daughter, he loves you like his own. He wouldn’t change that for the world.

”Sick little Monster”

Gareth

Damn. How did i get out if bed this morning? Were my thoughts as i dropped my weight on the chair in the lecture hall, absolutely beaten up. It felt as id i was dropped into the ocean from the height of a skyscraper .

I think i had a fever. Whatever.

Professor Lockwood, Kayden ‘s voice was muffled, i tried my best to pay attention but i just couldn't focus, my attention span was too short for my liking today and i was zoning out.

Who thought coming to class like this was a good idea? You idiot.My inner demons screamed back at me, as if they were in pain too.

Shut up

I let out a quiet groan as my head pounded. Eventually I gave him laying my head on my arms, I tried to look at what Kayden was saying but I was zoning out. Fuck

"Can you repeat what I just said Carson?" A rather familiar voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Huh?" I managed to spit out.

"I appears as thought my lecture is not interesting enough to you as you cant be bothered to pay attention to the simplest points, isn't that right Carson?"

Heat flared on my cheeks as anger seeped in through my pores. How dare he? He was not just calling out for basically doing nothing but also humiliation me in front of my classmates.

"I have more important things to focus on then this, Professor" I shoot back in the coolest, and most polite golden-boy tone I can muster up at this point.

He just shook his head at me and continued on with his stupid lecture in his stupid class with his stupid voice.

I tried to tell myself I wanted to throttle the asshole, which I wanted to obviously, I couldn't help feeling the tiniest bit hurt.

Did he always have to be so hard on me in class, and why only me?

Fuck this.

~

Kayden

I put in the code to my apartment, followed by opening the door.

I knew Gareth was here already with the notification I received when my code was put in earlier. However when I step into my apartment no lights are on . Hm

Maybe he's asleep and sure enough when my living are comes into view he's laying face down on the couch.

Something feels wrong though.

I turn the lights on, take my tie off and unbutton the first few buttons. I drop my briefcase down before making my way towards him.

"Baby? You asleep?"

No answer.

Hm. I take a minute to observe him closer, his neck is damp with sweat, his face is flushed and his muscles are rigid. I know he's awake however due to his uneven breathing. And as I step closer there's a alarming heat radiating off him. I immediately tense up in worry.

"Gareth what's wrong?" I pat his shoulder but his response makes me flinch.

"Don't touch me" He snarls his eyes snapping open almost at once.

I tense, wondering what could be the problem.

"You don't look well, let me see what's wrong with you... And dont ever tell me I cant touch what's mine again." My voice hardens at the end.

He sits up, albeit slowly and a little sloppily too. Worry englufs my body.

He's facing me now, his eyes are hooded and his face is flushed red with sweat beading on his forehead. I press my hand to his forehead.

"I said dont-"

"Your burning up, you have a fever" I interrupt him.

"Get your hands off me." He turns away from me, fury and a little bit of something else clouding his eyes.

I sigh.

"Baby please tell me what it is so we can get over it and take care of my sick little monster."

"I'm mad at you" he spits out glaring at me.

Even sick he dosent loose his fire. That's one of my favorite things about him. Although there are a lot of things I like about him so I may be biased.

"Why pray tell."

He just turns away pouting.

Fucking Adorable my little monster.

"Enough, communicate with me" My tone non-negotiable as I turn his head towards me with my grip on his chin.

"I..." he hesitates.

"Go on"

"Its not that I wasn't paying attention" he speaks lowly "It was hard to because I wasn't feeling well" His voice drops down to a whisper as his eyes look anywhere else but me.

Fuck.

Guilt wells up inside me, a small pit of self-loathing forming for making my little monster feel this way.

"Fuck I'm sorry baby...Please look at me" My voice softens

He turns his head slowly.

"It...It hurt." He whispers

My heart fucking aches.

I lower my face to his.

"I know I've hurt you my little monster, I know I've let you down and there's isn't much I can do but say I'm very, very sorry. Please let me make it up to you know and let me take care of you." I press my lips to his, not caring that he's sick.

He exhales a little, his eyes softening and he nods a little.

"Thank you" I say. And I mean it. "Now let me take care of you"

He stares at me for a minute. "Okay"

I lift him up and carry him to our bedroom, I take his clothes off and change him into something a little more comfortable.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No I wasn't that hungry." he replies

"Let me bring you some strawberries, I know you want to rest but have some for me first, Please."

He nods a little. I walk to the kitchen, retrieving a fresh bowl of strawberries from the kitchen. I also prepare a glass of water and bring it back to him.

His face lights up a little as the sweet tangy fruit comes into view.

I sit with him as he munches on the fruit. And when he's done I push him back into the bed willing him to rest. I go fetch a wet rag and place it ion his head to bring the fever down. Its not too high, so he should be fine by morning but I wouldn't like him to go out tomorrow.

"Kayden..." his voice brings me out of my thoughts,

"Yes baby?"

"Sleep with me" He blushes a little.

I smile softly, nodding as my heart grows a little for him. I snuggle in beside him bring his head to rest on my bicep.

He lets out a content sigh as his eyes flutter close and I press a soft kiss to his nose admiring his freckles.

And as he lays here all I can think about is how much this man means to me and how much the prospect of him not being okay eats away at my insides.

Opinions No One Asked For™️: Palia NPC Edition

Auni: I love this kid. I want him to think of me as a cool older sister or cool aunt. I bring him bugs every chance I get

Ashura: I want him to be my dad. Genuinely love him. Serious contender to be my Shepp

Badruu: He really turned the puns up to 11. I love him. Also want him to be my dad. And possibly my Shepp

Caleri: I wasn't too sure about her, but after getting to know her, I feel like we have quite a few similarities. Definitely want to be her friend. Could she be my Shepp? 👀

Chayne: I find him so calming. He also feels dad-like to me. 100% want him as a support figure/father figure regardless of who I choose as my Shepp

Delaila: Love talking to her. Really want to get to know her better at this point (but 100% want her to win all the prizes at farmers markets/festivals)

Einar: Absolutely adorable and I love him. Only platonically tho. I will give him as many Gils and shiny rocks as he wants

Elouisa: I wasn't sure at first, but I LOVE her unhinged theories. I want to be her best friend. I will investigate all the paranormal things with her. Contender for my Shepp. Girl let's go ghost hunting

Eshe: So snobby. So bougie. So bitchy. I wish she could be my Shepp 😫 (if only because it would be entertaining)

Hassian: First impressions? What an asshole. After some time, I am...intrigued. I want to figure him out. I want to know why he is the way he is. Also fucking love Tau, the gooodest boi

Hekla: Honestly... she freaked me out a little for a long time. I'm slowly coming around though

Hodari: Listen, I get it. I see where you all are coming from. But man's just not my type 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jel: Oh Jel, my beloved. I'm not exactly subtle about it. This man is my husband. Sad, skinny, pathetic, dramatic, goth guys are My Type™️. Would marry him like, yesterday 🥀😫🪡🖤😍

Jina: At first I wasn't sure, but the more I talk to her, I'm like, "Jina, my bestie." I'm a PhD student. I feel you. Also, WOMEN IN STEM, HELL YEAH!!!! I have a feeling we're gonna be great friends

Kenji: Not a fan of your extremely privileged life ("Have you tried inheriting property?" 😐😐😐) or the invasive chapaa situation... but I also don't dislike him as much as I thought. I feel like he's playing a role he doesn't really want to, but still enjoying/expecting the high life for little to no effort

Kenyatta: She should be my best friend. I was put off at first, but she is the coolest. I see quite a few aspects of myself in her

Nai'O: I feel like he's the sweetest boi ever. I'm both like, "He deserves better than Kenyatta" and "Kenyatta is good for him." Perhaps the most wholesome NPC

Najuma: I also want to be the cool older sister and/or cool aunt that she never had. This kid is a badass and smart as hell. I wish my friendship with her was better already

Reth: This man. I love him. I'm not sure if it's platonic or romantic yet. All I know is he's one of my favourite NPCs to talk to. He's funny, he's flirty, he's got a Tragic Backstory™️. I'm here for this soup boi whether he wants it or not

Sifuu: Two words: Bad. Ass. It's a crime that we can't romance her. I really want to ask her to be my Shepp, but I'm not sure it's a good fit

Tamala: I'm sorry, Tamala besties, but I just don't like her 😭 I really wanted to like her so bad, but her aggressive flirting paired with her unwillingness to consider me a friend/equal just rubs me the wrong way

Tish: Absolutely beautiful person. I want to be her bffl. That is all

Zeki: Crime Cat, my beloved. He is the most entertaining Shepp option (imo). He's got an eye patch, a gold tooth, and shady practices. I find him amusing. I want him to like me. Share his (dubiously acquired) riches with me. Please accept me into the black market. I won't tell, but I can't promise I'll participate (I probably will 👀)

Could you please do N x transmasc reader headcanons :3? (Murder drones)

˚₊‧⁺˖✮ TERMINAL LOVE ✮˖⁺‧₊˚

▷ Summary: N x Transmasc reader Headcannons

▷ Character(s): Serial Designation N (Murder Drones)

▷ Genre: Headcannons, SFW

▷ Warning(s): None - Completely Safe!

▷ Image Credits: @rookmeo

✶ The moment you come out to N, he gasps so loudly it’s almost concerning, then immediately throws his arms around you. “That’s so cool! You’re you, and that’s awesome! Wait, should I say something else? I feel like I should say something else. Biscuits—oh! Do you want me to help punch transphobes? Or just glare at them very sternly?”

✶ N takes your pronouns very seriously. If anyone messes them up, even by accident, he’ll dramatically gasp and drop whatever he’s holding. “Oh no, that’s not right! Here, try again!” He’s so excited about being helpful that it’s impossible to be mad at him for making a scene.

✶ The second you tell him your name, he overuses it. “Hey, [Name]! Looking cool today, [Name]! Want some oil, [Name]?” He beams every time he says it, like it’s his favorite word. If you ever seem down, he’ll whisper it to himself a few times just to make sure it still makes you smile.

✶ If you’re ever feeling dysphoric, N’s first response is to panic slightly, then aggressively try to cheer you up. “Wait! I can fix this! You’re still you and that’s perfect! Also, your existence is objectively the best part of my entire day! And, uh, also my entire life!” He will, without hesitation, fly you away from anything making you feel bad—he’s literally kidnapping you from dysphoria.

✶ N is very eager to help you find clothes that make you feel good, but his sense of style is questionable. He will bring you the most ridiculous outfits and be completely sincere about it. “I found a cool jacket with spikes! And a cowboy hat! Also, uh, a cape! Capes are very masculine, right?” He means well, but you might have to gently redirect him.

✶ If you’re on testosterone or just worried about how your voice sounds, N adores it. “Your voice is so cool!! It’s like—like the perfect sound wave! Can I record it so I can play it back when I’m sad? …Wait, was that creepy? Forget I said that.” He gets ridiculously excited when he notices any changes.

✶ If you ever go through any medical transitions, N is WAY too enthusiastic about it. “SURGERY?! YOU GET UPGRADES?!!” He insists on taking care of you afterward, even if he has no idea what he’s doing. He panics if you so much as wince, but he’ll hold your hand and bring you snacks (even if they’re… uh, drone food).

✶ N takes so much pride in you being transmasc. He will show you off to everyone. “This is [Name], and they’re the COOLEST. They literally won at gender.” He has no idea what that means, but he will say it with absolute conviction.

✶ He might not fully understand what being trans means at first, but he knows what it’s like to be different and not accepted. So, he’s determined to make sure you never feel alone. “You’re perfect the way you are, and anyone who disagrees? Uh… I can bite them. I think that’s helpful?”

✶ If you ever doubt yourself, N freaks out. “WHAT? NO! YOU’RE SO COOL! Do I need to make a PowerPoint? I will make a PowerPoint!” He absolutely will make a PowerPoint. It’s just a bunch of pictures of you with captions like “The Best!!” and “10/10 Handsome!!!” in giant bold text.

🎀🍦🤡 Lizzie & Susie’s Friendship Headcanon 💛🐔🧁

Lizzie and Susie? Besties. Absolute besties. They would have clicked instantly—both being bright, imaginative, and full of energy.

🌟 How They Became Close

Lizzie and Susie met through Freddy’s, either as friends or through their dads (since Susie’s mom was a friend of Henry’s).

Lizzie thought Susie was fun because of her wild imagination.

"You see that cloud? That’s a dragon."

"No way. That’s a BUNNY."

Cue them arguing for 20 minutes.

Susie LOVED Lizzie’s confidence.

Lizzie was bolder, more mischievous.

She’d be the one convincing Susie to do something slightly risky.

"Let’s sneak into the staff room and see what’s inside!"

"Lizzie… I dunno…"

"C’mon, don’t you wanna be a REAL spy?"

Susie immediately gives in.

🫂 How Susie Sees Lizzie

Susie adores Lizzie but also worries about her.

Lizzie reminds her of the sun—bright, warm, but maybe burning too hot.

She senses when Lizzie is sad or frustrated, even when she hides it.

"You okay?"

"Pfft, duh. I’m fine."

Susie doesn’t believe her, but she doesn’t push.

Susie likes when Lizzie acts as her "brave protector."

But she also wonders…

"Does Lizzie ever let someone protect HER?"

Susie sometimes tries to "cheer Lizzie up" in small ways.

Drawing pictures for her.

Making up stories where Lizzie is a hero.

Secretly leaving notes like "You’re the best, Liz!!" in her pockets.

🎭 Their Friendship Dynamic

Lizzie :

The Chaos

Encourages rule-breaking.

Leader of the adventures.

Plays the “hero.”

Would fight a bully.

Pretends not to care, but deeply does.

Susie :

The Heart

Encourages kindness.

The emotional support.

Plays the “storyteller.”

Would talk the bully down.

Shows she cares, always.

Lizzie: "We’re making a secret club."

Susie: "Ooooh, what’s our name??"

Lizzie: "The Coolest, Best, Most Awesome Club."

Susie: "...That’s so bad. We need a better name."

Susie: "What if the animatronics had little stories?"

Lizzie: "Freddy is the king. Foxy is the outlaw. Chica is… uh…"

Susie: "A SUPERHERO!!"

Lizzie: "YES. And Bonnie is the weird wizard who lives in a cave."

Susie: "…Why a cave?"

Lizzie: "I dunno. Feels right."

💛 After the Incident…

If Lizzie survived and learned the truth…

She would have FELT Susie’s absence like a missing limb.

She would have desperately tried to talk to Chica, knowing Susie was there.

Susie, even as a ghost, would still try to make Lizzie smile.

Maybe she’d send little signs—warmth, flickering lights, tiny clues.

Maybe, even in death, she’d still leave notes: "You’re the best, Liz!!"

💛 In Another Life…

If things had gone differently…

Lizzie and Susie would have grown up together.

They’d still be making up stories, still going on adventures.

Maybe Lizzie would have eventually opened up to Susie, letting herself be protected for once.

Their friendship? A beautiful spark. Short-lived, but unforgettable.

Their friendship is honestly so underrated, and I think they’d be such an adorable duo. Here are some wholesome (and maybe chaotic) headcanons for them!

More Lizzie & Susie Headcanons! (smth details)

🌸 Instant Besties – I feel like Lizzie and Susie became friends almost instantly. Susie, with her bubbly and whimsical personality, would absolutely adore Lizzie’s dramatic and slightly mischievous side. Meanwhile, Lizzie enjoys Susie’s creative storytelling and the way she makes everything feel fun.

🐾 Animal Lovers Duo – Susie, being a huge animal lover, would constantly talk about dogs, while Lizzie (being a Daddy’s Girl™) would act all high and mighty, saying she prefers rabbits (totally not because her dad works with them, nope). But in reality, Lizzie thinks Susie’s love for dogs is cute, and Susie secretly thinks bunnies are adorable.

🍭 Sugar Gremlins – These two together? A menace to anyone who values a balanced diet. Lizzie’s well-known sweet tooth means she’s always dragging Susie into sneaking extra cookies or candies, and Susie, being the sweetheart she is, just enables her. (Michael would absolutely snitch on them, though.)

🎭 Dramatic Storytelling Sessions – Since Susie loves making up stories and Lizzie adores theatrics, their sleepovers would 100% include exaggerated storytelling. They’d act out every scene dramatically, throwing themselves onto the floor for maximum emotional effect.

🎤 "We Should Start a Band" Energy – Lizzie is the type to randomly grab a hairbrush and start singing like she’s on stage. Susie, always ready for fun, immediately joins in, and suddenly, it’s a whole impromptu performance. Poor Evan has probably been forced to be the audience multiple times.

🎢 Chaotic Mall Adventures – They’d totally convince William or Susie’s parents to take them to the mall, and the second they get there? Absolute madness. Trying on silly outfits, annoying Michael by following him around, and running straight to the food court for desserts first.

💖 Pinkie Promises Are Serious Business – Susie is the kind of friend who values pinkie promises a lot, and Lizzie—despite pretending she’s "too cool"—never breaks one. If she betray a pinkie promise, Susie will go full spy mode on her until her make up for it.

👻 Ghost Stories & Spooky Adventures – Despite both being easily scared, they insist on telling ghost stories at sleepovers. Lizzie, being dramatic, will add extra creepy details, making Susie regret her life choices. Then they both refuse to sleep with the lights off.

🍨 Ultimate Ice Cream Enthusiasts – Lizzie already has a well-established love for sweets, but Susie? Oh, she happily supports this obsession. Their go-to hangout spot would be an ice cream shop, and they’d absolutely have a "We Have to Try Every Flavor" challenge.

🎭 "I’ll Cover for You" Pact – If one of them is in trouble? The other one is immediately making excuses. Lizzie sneaks out to see Baby? Susie will totally say she was with her the whole time. Susie forgets to do something? Lizzie will confidently lie her way out of it. (Bad influences on each other? Maybe. Best friends? Absolutely.)

🌟 Best Friend Necklaces or Matching Bracelets – Susie would definitely be the type to want a friendship bracelet, and Lizzie would roll her eyes like it’s "too childish"... but then she never takes it off.

✨ Extra Bonus - After Everything™: If we’re talking post-incident lore, then I feel like Susie (as Chica) still tries to "reach" Lizzie in some way. Like maybe deep inside Baby, Lizzie still remembers her, even if she’s changed. Maybe, just maybe, some part of Circus Baby hesitates when she sees Chica, like a flicker of old memories.

What I Read This Week: 05/11/2025

I am a librarian, and unrelated to stereotypes about my profession, I do read a metric shit-ton in a week. Most of it is fanfiction but hey, I thought maybe it's time I share my reads?

This is what I read this week:

1 Servant to a Different King by Tossawary (151, 013)

Summary: As the head disciple of An Ding Peak, Shang Qinghua threw the plot out the window and abandoned his sect, and now he enjoys a luxurious life as Tianlang-Jun and Su Xiyan's most treasured and trusted advisor, as the happy couple rules over the Demon Realm together with iron fists. He has everything a transmigrator could want.

Unfortunately, there's only so long that the Imperial Advisor can continue to avoid another of Tianlang-Jun's favorite underlings: Mobei-Jun, the new Northern King. An attempt on Shang Qinghua's life inside the Underground Palace itself forces him back into the company of the demon who was once destined to kill his character - and who also once promised to kill him if they ever met again.

sickly sweet! omg this was such a cute read

I loved the moshang dynamics; SQH being of a higher status than MBJ was delicious

Slow burn! So many feelings! Communications happen

10/10 would read again. Honestly all of Tossawary's works I've read have been incredible.

2. Heaven Official's Blessing by MXTX Chapter 105-109

Summary: Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His years of dedication and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to godhood. But those who rise, can also fall…and fall he does, cast from the Heavens again and again and banished to the mortal realm.

Eight hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to godhood for the third time. Now only a lowly scrap collector, he is dispatched to wander the earthly realm to take on tasks appointed by the heavens to pay back debts and maintain his divinity. Aided by old friends and foes alike, and graced with the company of a mysterious young man with whom he feels an instant connection, Xie Lian must confront the horrors of his past in order to dispel the curse of his present.

I just started book 7; so far it is much lighter (thank fuck)

I'm reading about a chapter a day and live blogging the experience. you can follow along on the Bloopitynoot reads TGCF tag

NO SPOILERS PLS.

I am so soft for Hualian

3 I’d Tell Them, “Put Me Back In It” by rarefiedmuddle (34,213)

Summary:

“What, exactly, do you intend to do with those children?” The clear voice cut through the crowd. Wearing half a mountain’s worth of dirt and a patchy beard, the stranger reminded Six Balls of the Undead Bearded Bandit from pa’s bedtime stories. His hair fell in tangles to his waist, and bare, blackened feet poked out under the dirt-crusted robes. He looked… He looked like a real hero who’d just rolled out of a fresh grave. The coolest, scariest kind of hero was the fresh-out-of-a-grave kind, in Six Balls’s opinion; that was when they were about to wreck the bloodiest vengeance on anything standing in their path. “Children?!” yelled one of the stupider humans, who clearly didn’t know the best way to talk to an undead hero. (Don’t, if you can help it.) “These demons slaughtered six good men!”

Or: When Shen Qingqiu wakes up in his new plant body exactly one day later than he does in canon, it throws the plot in a whole new direction.

This was absolutely wholesome as hell

I love that Shen Yuan adopted a bunch of demon babies, took up farming, and single handedly changed the inter realm markets lol

Cute cute cute! I adored it

RIP Zhuzhi Lang's romantic feels for Shen Yuan tho

4 Don't Wanna Fall by nekojita (111, 580)

Summary: Deprived of their heat and rut supplements, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji gave in to their omega and alpha natures while trapped in the Dusk-Creek Mountain cave. Wei Wuxian left the cave with an ancient sword reeking of resentful energy and a half-Lan child, a child he was determined to both keep and hide from Lan Wangji, who didn't seem to care about what had happened between them.

That was okay, though, because he had Jiang Yanli's support and a plan.

Then Lotus Pier was attacked, and he would need more than a plan to keep those he loved safe as war threatened to destroy everything.

I am weak for a fix it, I am extra soft for a "discovery of the existence of wangxian's love child" fix it

This was quite wholesome even with the idiots being idiots

Wangxian's children (adopted or otherwise) will rule the cultivation world- and I love it for them.

SO many uncles and aunts!

if it matters to you, this is a very soft A/B/O fic; like it's mentioned but almost not relevant?

5 What is Found Behind Broken Walls by demoncow97 (127, 109)

Summary: Shen Qingqiu manages to change his foretold fate by saving Liu Qingge in the Ling Xi caves. Unfortunately, the cultivation world is a lot less happy about this than Shen Qingqiu would have hoped.

This might have to do with the fact that the Liu Qingge who Shen Qingqiu saved is not quite human.

This was so soft!!!

shen Yuan is an idiot- for real.

What happens when you fall in love with the person you have already unknowingly wifed?

10/10 would read again, delicious fic.

6 The One-Body Problem by metisket (28, 689)

Summary: The good news is that Lan Jingyi has found a mentor, friend, and constant companion through the difficulties in life.

The bad news is that that’s because he’s been accidentally possessed by the Yiling Patriarch.

This was actually so sweet- I loved it so much

honestly the best case scenario for wei wuxian. Lan Jingyi is the most well-adjusted lan to exist.

Jingyi see's that nonsense and calls it out!

7 when you're doing all the leaving (then it's never your love lost) by tardigradeschool (26, 399)

Summary: Wei Wuxian barely makes a sound when Jin Zixun’s sword goes through his chest. A tiny noise is punched out of him — half gasp, half sigh. Jin Zixun, wearing that smirk that Lan Wangji has always hated, moves to pull the sword out.

This won’t do; Lan Wangji knows enough about battlefield medicine to understand the principle of keeping the weapon in the wound until a medic arrives. So he does the only thing that occurs to him in the moment, letting the momentum of flight be the force behind the swing; he cuts off Jin Zixun’s hand.

-

Lan Wangji goes with Wei Wuxian to his nephew's one-month celebration instead of Wen Ning. They still don't make it to the party.

My heart!!! Soft boys alert! Similar to the Jingyi fic this was so healing through the power of shared memories

A golden core and canon fix-it. The solution is intense but has incredible results

Wangxian confessions!!

Lan wangji claimed a-yuan as his child- he will not be taking questions at this time.

8. a stone to break your soul, a song to save it by rikke (179, 769)

Summary: When the entire cultivation world turns against Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng comes up with a plan to save him and arranges a marriage between his brother and the Second Jade of Lan, Lan Wangji.

The way I wept reading this fic; my god I was a mess.

The ending is very happy! all our favourites do survive! But getting there man. TOO MUCH!

Such a neat take on a core

excellent fic!!!

That's What I Read This Week!

Such a good reading week!!! Truly all of the fics on this list were fantastic.

I did re-up on my reading list so I have a TON of marked for later to work through. (I am very excited about it).

As usual I will gladly accept any recs you have happily and gratefully- though it may take me some time to get to them; MDZS (wangxian - but also most other pairings) or SVSSS (shen yuan et al pairings - or others tbh I am not picky!)

If you want a personalized fic list I am offering lists for Wangxian (some other MDZS pairings) and bingqiu (and some other SVSSS pairings) -just send me a dm with your theme and criteria! If I have fics that I have read that fit the vibe, I will happily rec a list :)

till next week!

⭒˚‧ ︵‿⭒ཐིཋྀ Love Triangle Matchup for @babulejka ཐིཋྀ⭒‿︵ ‧˚⭒

The first time Matsuoka Rin met you was when he saved a stray cat. That poor cat was hungry and injured, so Rin decided to take care of it, bringing a cat to the school. He was at a loss, because he didn't know what to do. Rin wanted to help, but he couldn't bring the cat home, because Steve, his cat, might reacts badly to a new cat. The school seemed like the best option for Rin. And fortunately he wasn't wrong because he met you on the way to Samezuka Gakuen. You took a cat at your home clinic for injured animals. And Rin, feeling responsible for this situation, offered you his help. You had to take care of Rin's scratches though, because cats don't like Rin for some reason. You didn't mind, because you like making friends. So you two became closer, taking care of your fluffy wingman. Rin was immediately hooked by your outstanding abilities, especially the way you helped a cat with confidence. Not to mention, that you was literally the coolest person Rin has ever met sorry, Haru. So he started to develop his feelings for you. Rin thought that he just admired a cool person though. It took the time for Rin to realize his feelings are a crush, not a sense of respect for a cool friend. It's so ironic, but the one who helped Rin to realize his crush was his best friend and rival in love, Yamazaki Sosuke. Sousuke, unlike Rin, realized his crush on you pretty fast and then started his attempts to win you over. It made Rin feel strangely, he didn't want to see you with Sosuke, he was jealous. In trying to make sense of what he feel, Rin turned to Makoto. But Tachibana just laughed and said, that Rin was in love with you. From this moment on, Rin joined the fight for your love. He was so soft with you, trying to spend as much time with you as possible and to be involved in your life and hobbies. Being a true romantic at heart, Rin confessed you under the cherry blossoms. Even though he did his best to act cool, he was blushy, scratching his head awkwardly. "I like and adore you a lot. Please, go out with me!"

• Right after your confession, you and Rin found out you two were being tracked. The members of Iwatobi and Samezuka swimming clubs decided to spy on Rin's confession. And, being discovered, they began to cry and congratulate you two.

Nagisa: Rin-chan, I'm so happy for you! I thought I would not live to see this moment. Haru: I'm glad. Let's celebrate this wonderful event and eat a mackerel cake. Makoto: Haru, ah, only you like that. Momotaro and Ai: *crying in the background*

• Rin is the most romantic boyfriend ever. He takes you on the breathtaking and romantic dates like walking by the coast of the ocean You two can go diving together if you'd like to see the ocean depths, stargazing at the observatory or just at a good place, wandering in forests, especially he likes to see sakura blossoms with you together. • He is very involved in your hobbies. You do such a lot of interesting things, that makes Rin be interested in too. This boy is naturally talented and competitive, so expect that he'd like to do the friendly challenges and competitions with you. • Rin keeps a diary, in which he writes all of these cheesy romantic stuff he'd like to tell you but be too embarrassed to do it. He'll die of embarrassment if someone reads his diary one day. Spoiler: of course, his friends found this diary one day. And they can't stop teasing him, quoting some phrases.

"You sing like a siren. When I heard your beautiful voice, I understood why seamen were dying of siren's songs, being hooked by their ethereal songs. I'm ready to die for you more and more times to hear you one more time"

"You looked so beautiful today with the flowers in your hair, like a fairy of spring"

• Yes, Rin is cheesy lovestruck fool, who is absolutely whipped for you. You're the first thing he thinks about when he wakes up in the morning. And the last thing he thinks about when he goes to sleep. Sometimes he's so overwhelmed by his feelings that he can't sleep, thinking about the moments you share together. • The boys from Ivatobi and Samezuka love and adore you a lot. You're the mother of their teams. The way you always take care of them, bringing some snacks and cookies for the boys and helping them whenever they're injured, makes them happy. They're happy that you and Rin are finally together. And no, not because this's very funny to tease Rin. Not only because of that to be exact. The main reason is that you two are their precious friends who love each other. • Rin's mother and Gou think about you as about a part of their family. Even though it's not officially yet, but they're already planning your wedding. For Gou you're an older sister figure, who always give her a good advice and help whenever her overprotective brother interrupts the dates even if it isn't an actual date.

You and Yamazaki Sosuke met when you two were treated in a hospital. You overworked yourself and ended up in a hospital, and Sosuke treated his arm. Yamazaki was very nervous these days, because the state of his arm was getting worse, but the meeting with you helped him to make decision and calm him down a little. Your cryptic advices and uncannily wiseness intrigued him. Sosuke wanted to know more about you. He developed his feelings for you after a few meetings. Of course, he slowly but surely started to court you. Sosuke observed you, memorizing all the small details about you, and then surprised you by acts of service or very thoughtful gifts. He was testing the waters by little compliments and vague hints, but unfortunately your heart was already taken by Rin. Even though Sosuke knew that, he confessed you. He wanted to make things clear for you two, at least be rejected and then move on. It was simple and straightforward confession. Sosuke invited you for a walk and confessed in the park, while you were sitting on the bench and drinking the beverages in metal cans. The rejection was expected. Sosuke felt himself a little sad because of it, but he also was happy for his best friend and best rival, who found the love of his life. Some of the most insightful friends, such as Makoto, Rin and Ai, knew about Sosuke's feelings for you. But they also knew that you didn't love him back, so they tried to cheer him up and hope that Sosuke will find his significant other in the future.

[millenianthemums]

I know you love doing crossover pokemon teams, any particular reasons you gave dipper and mabel the teams they have, besides the obvious connections?

yeah! i have little headcanons in mind for each one!! i will now talk about them at length because you gave me permission!!!

this turned into more of a story summary than a brief explanation of why i chose these pokemon, and also became really long. so it’s under a cut. thank u

So I’ll start with Mabel’s team. She and Dipper both had an Eevee for their first Pokemon. Mabel’s is named Eloise, and he evolved into a Sylveon because i think that is by far the most Mabel eeveelution of all. the ribbons, the pink, the power of love… of course there’d be some big cool heartwarming moment where Eloise evolved to save the day because Mabel believed in it so strongly. they are best best friends and never apart.

Mabel and Dipper also both got to choose a starter Pokemon when they first arrived in Gravity Falls. i picture it as an equivalent moment to when Stan lets them each pick something from the gift shop. Mabel picked a Popplio she named Bubble Buddy. i remember seeing some cute art that i think Alex drew back around the time when Sun and Moon were new, showing Mabel with a Popplio, and i thought it was so cute and super fitting for her. the Popplio line is so cute and goofy and very transfem, all of which is true of Mabel as well. i imagine that Bubble Buddy is just as hyper and fun-loving as Mabel, and also tries super hard to be fun and funny and impressive at first, but chills out once she realizes Mabel will always adore her, even when her jokes fall flat.

GRAPPLING HOOK is a stand-in for Mabel’s grappling hook, of course. she completely lucked into catching her as her very first non-starter Pokemon and is unbelievably proud about it. she’s her ace in the hole for battles, and she thinks she’s the coolest, strongest Pokemon ever… even though she’s actually kind of a pushover in battle, at least at first. she gets knocked out all the time early on, but Mabel never loses faith in her, and sure enough, she comes through and saves Mabel and Dipper in the season 1 finale. then once she evolves, she actually becomes the unstoppable ace Mabel always believed she could be.

Waddles is Waddles. same role and backstory, the main difference is just that he was deliberately bred to be shiny and that’s why a regular little Lechonk was a sought-after carnival prize. the guy selling him had lots of objectively cooler shinies, but Mabel wanted Waddles. he loves following Mabel around, but hates to battle, so she just lets him hang around and chill out like a spoiled pet. he also doesn’t want to evolve, so Mabel makes him an Everstone friendship bracelet (not pictured but it’s there i prommy)

Mimikyu and Garchomp are less fleshed out in my mind, but i still think they’re fun choices. i think the Mimikyu’s name is Dolly and joins Mabel after she and Dipper realize he’s responsible for a haunting they were investigating. Mabel immediately thinks he’s adorable and shouts down anyone who calls him creepy, and Dolly is so happy to find a friend who loves him for who he is that he demands to join her team on the spot. Garchomp’s name is Chompy, and she hatched from a random lost egg that Mabel found. as a Gible, she was an absolute menace who gnawed on everything in sight and threw tantrums constantly. Mabel had a tough time training her and getting her to listen, but eventually Chompy learned to trust Mabel. she matured as she evolved and became very sweet and cuddly over time.

Ogerpon would definitely join the team after a big important story arc, but i’m not sure how that would go. i just think Ogerpon and Mabel are so similar in a lot of cute ways. they’re both weird girls with big sweaters who are very sweet but also very aggro. i’ve seen them compared before and i just love to see it. i think her nickname would be Pompom. i also really like the idea of Pompom being besties with GRAPPLING HOOK, i just think it’d be cute.

-

NOW DIPPER’S TEAM! his starter was also an Eevee, of course, but his was a shiny! he and Mabel chose their Eevees from a big litter of babies their dad’s Eevee had, because giving an Eevee to new trainers is a longstanding Pines family tradition in this AU.

his was nicknamed Laika, and she started out as a solemn, angsty loner who took herself too seriously and only got along with Dipper; they’ve always bonded over being different and having trouble making friends. but over time, just like Dipper, she makes new friends and becomes more confident. eventually she evolves into Umbreon at a dramatic story moment, maybe at the same time that Eloise does because that’d be really cool. i think Umbreon is a fitting choice for Dipper because it’s mysterious and odd, but still based on the power of friendship, so deep down it’s just as cute and sweet as Sylveon. it just doesn’t like to admit to its own cuteness.

Dipper’s Alolan starter was Rowlet. he named him Nova, and Nova absolutely ADORED Dipper from minute one. despite being the size of a basketball, he immediately saw Dipper as a tiny little baby that he was responsible for. he was always preening him and fussing over him, and Dipper was annoyed and embarrassed by it at first, but always kind of found it endearing. sometimes in the first month, people like Robbie and Gideon would make fun of Dipper for being babied by a tiny round owl, but then a couple months later that tiny owl was a six-foot-tall assassin raptor, and if you so much as breathed wrong while looking at his human son he’d try to tear out their liver, and no one made fun of Dipper anymore. anyway, Rowlet is the most “nerdy bookworm”-coded starter in my mind, so i think it’s a natural choice for Dipper. especially if Mabel already has Popplio. i think the Litten from the trio they both chose from stuck around the Mystery Shack and eventually became Stan’s pokemon against his will.

The Rotom, Pluto, lived inside Ford’s Journal 3 Pokedex and was just trapped in there until Dipper found them. Pluto is super excitable and full of energy and always wanting to do new things and have adventures, and after all the time they spent cooped up inside a hidden, deactivated Pokedex, Dipper can hardly blame them. he does everything he can to help Pluto have fun after everything they’ve been through, and tries not to pry too much even though he’s really curious about their past. Pluto doesn’t talk, so they never directly give Dipper any answers about Ford. they’re still technically Ford’s Pokemon, and they’re traumatized by the loss of their trainer and at first very conflicted about whether they should let Dipper go down the same path that he did. but eventually they bond with Dipper enough to decide to help with solving the mystery of the journal-dexes. i just love the idea of the journals in a Pokemon GF AU being Pokedexes, because in a way, they kind of already are in canon, right? so i think that’d be the perfect excuse for Dipper to have a Rotom. once Ford comes back, he would be really grateful to see how much Dipper helped his traumatized Pokemon. up to that point Dipper wouldn’t have caught Pluto since they already had a trainer, but once Ford’s back, he’d definitely gift them to Dipper.

Crobat (named Comet) was Dipper’s first catch and represented a big important step in his journey, but starts out super anxious and terrified of everything. Dipper thinks Comet is kind of useless at first and is jealous that Mabel caught GRAPPING HOOK, who actually likes to battle and has confidence, as opposed to this dinky little Zubat who would never impress anybody. but eventually Dipper realizes that viewing Comet that way is unfair; she’s not a tool, she’s a living thing who’s shy and fearful and needs a friend who believes in her. so he changes his approach and treats her with more kindness and care, and she very quickly comes out of her shell and actually ends up being one of Dipper’s most powerful Pokemon.

The backstories for Golisopod and Beheeyem are a lot less detailed. Golisopod (Bermuda) is basically just a nod to Dipper’s arc of learning to be brave and stand up for himself, and Beheeyem (Dover) is just because Dipper’s whole thing is mystery and the paranormal and stuff, and also Beheeyem strikes me as a big nerd just like him. Sorry Dipper, that’s just how i view you.

finally we’ve got Terapagos. i like the idea of Dipper befriending them because to me they represent, like, the truth behind a big mystery. the hidden treasure at the heart of a search for the truth. that just seems perfect for Dipper. i think he deserves to discover and befriend Terapagos and be the first one to discover all the secrets they hold. and also hug them because they’re a cute little turtle. i think he’d name them Star.
