#Devil: Kingpin AU .

[aamusedly]

@tempesttragedy continued from HERE.

Devil seemed pretty good at looking enraptured; he liked to say he was good on dates, and of course the mercenary had to back it up. His hands folded under his chin as he listened, eyelids lowered and tail waving languidly beside him.

"That sounds like a story-- something personal? Were you with someone special?" But before he could prod further, a waiter came up with their dinners; two trays of fileted fish on a bed of polenta and mushrooms. Devil looked delighted, but indulgence was a trait of his.

Before he took a bite, though, his head tilted. "If you'll indulge me."

[bidisastersanji]

Arcane One Piece AU (Fem!ZoSan centric)

Ok so this all started because of this post and galaxy braining with the amazing @anniilaugh can’t you just IMAGINE dyke Zoro circling and Kabedon-ing (pin against the wall) Sanji like “You’re hot, cook- so what’ll it be? Man or woman?” As they go into the brothel looking for information? SHE DREW THE BEST ART OF VI!ZORO RIGHT HERE BTW

Sanji is good with her legs so she would impress Zoro with her parkour skills

Sanji has a Taz British accent (like Caitlin has a British accent) but with lots of cursing (Zeff’s influence) “bollocks!” And some French cursing as well since he learned it as a kid (putain! Merde! Fait chier!)

Zoro wears the same hot dyke clothes Vi does- arms fully out, and pulls her hood on when she’s serious (like the bandana). She also has cool tattoos and the hand wrap things

She fights with hextech swords that look just like hilts until they’re turned on and the blades appear - she carries them looped in carabiners around her waist (seriously look at the art)

World-building wise: Underworld Zaun Kingpin Doflamingo (Silco) with the drug “SMILE” who has Piltover higher ups and police in his pocket (he has leverage like in one piece)

SMILE gives people strange powers but temporarily, like temporary devil fruits that leave you broken and drained

Powder is Luffy, Zoro’s adoptive little brother, they were raised by Kuma (Vander) after his failed revolution where their parents die, growing up with a small crew of misfit friends (including Kuina, who dies)

The tragedy happens and Zoro gets put into prison (on Doffy’s orders) while Luffy thinks Zoro abandoned him and is taken in by Doffy, becoming “Nika” (his unhinged alter ego is gear 5 like Jinkx is to Powder) , now growing up along kids like Law, Baby 5 etc . His hair went white from the stress of that fateful night/or he bleaches it

Caitlin!Sanji grows up in Piltover as a noble with the abusive Vinsmokes but runs away and gets taken in by a chef called Zeff (who lost his leg in the failed revolution but managed to start anew, tries to help Zaun how he can, sending food etc)

Zeff gets put in prison by the Vinsmokes to control Sanji and she’s forced to become an enforcer (Fem!Sanji in that little uniform oh god. Smoking her cigarettes with a stupid little hat and the gun she does her best to avoid using)

She still works after her enforcer shifts at the Baratie since shes always itching to cook, feed the hungry and to support party and carne and keep her adoptive dad’s restaurant alive (she knows of how bad people have it in Zaun, and before Zeff found her she was hungry and homeless)

Her weapon of choice is actually something she has strapped to her legs from her thighs to her calves (Zoro will be very distracted) some hextech steampunk looking thing that powers up her kicks and she can send her kicks energy forward to do mid range attacks

She uses her enforcer job to snoop around and try and figure out how to get her father out

Her lead takes her to Stilwater prison where Zoro has been beat and abused for several years

Cue scene where Sanji walks in to Zoro’s cell and sees her boxing like crazy and fuck she’s so hot wtf but also she feels terrible for her and her blood boils as she learns of the abuse she went through

Telling herself she must be going absolutely insane (but is she? She feels like this is the right thing. It’s fate) she forges release documents to get Zoro out, sure that her knowledge of the under-city will help her understand where the corruption lies and get Zeff back

Zoro immediately does not follow what she’s saying and goes on her own thing (PARKOUR!) and she impresses her by being able to keep up

Zoro still gets lost and turned around

Are you sure you know the under-city, mosshead?

Zoro stops at a street food stall and Sanji is annoyed at first- as well as disgusted by how she shovels it in her mouth, but softens and silently rages when Zoro shares that she’s been starved a couple of times in Stillwater

Cue the brothel scene omg

Circling Sanji and pushing her up against a wall “You’re hot, cook. So what’ll it be, man or woman?”

Zoro walking by Sanji talking up another woman in the brothel after her talk with Nami (head of the brothel) and smiling to herself

Jayce is Franky who is experimenting with the crystals to create hextech, Viktor could be iceburg, Vivi is the hot politician lady (Mel)

Firelight is “Sogeking” - zoro and Luffy’s childhood friend Usopp (Ekko)

Also Taller than Zoro Sanji aaaaa

Zoro calling Sanji “officer” to annoy her - only switching to “cook” and “curly” as an alternative nickname

Can I ask what Ruby's role is/ where is Ruby in the Church AU?

You can ask whatever you want. Worst case scenario, I politely decline to answer. Not this time though!

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

Blake and Yang: (laying in bed, post intimacy)

Blake: (head resting on Yang's shoulder with her hand on her chest, trying to catch her breath) How's your arm?

Yang: (breathing heavily as she brings up her right arm - the skin is slowly re-healing itself) It's doing fine. How are you? That was - uh - (blushes) Well... That was a lot. And it was very, very impressive.

Blake: (blushes) Yang, your arm dissolved into nothing after Adam threw holy water on it. I had to keep up with your injury and healing capabilities.

Yang: Oh?~ Is that why you mounted me like a horse and-

Blake: (slaps her hand over Yang's mouth) Let's not focus on that.

-Bright light engulfs the room and an angel with short, dark hair with red tips and silver eyes steps onto the floor-

Angel!Ruby: Yang!

Yang: (shoots up in bed) Ruby!

Angel!Ruby: (shields her eyes) Yang! Clothes! You're in your human form! I don't want to see that!

Yang: Not a chance! (jumps out of bed on wobbly legs and ensnares Ruby in a bear hug)

Angel!Ruby: Ewww!!! (flails her legs) Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Yang! You're naked and covered in sex! Get off of me!

Blake: (watching the exchange from the bed and trying to wrap herself up) ....Yang?

Yang: (looks over at Blake) Yeah, babe?

Blake: (blushes at the nickname) Not the time. (glances at Ruby) Who is that?

Yang: Oh! Right! You've only met Weiss. This angel is Ruby. She's my younger sister.

Blake: (blinks) Sister? Angel? How are an angel and a demon-?

Ruby: Same dad. Different moms. Dad is an angel. My mom is an angel. Yang's mom is, literally, one of the devil kingpins in Hell.

Blake: (jaw drops)

Yang: What brings you down here, Sis?

Ruby: I saw that you lost your arm in a church and wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help. (looks at Yang's fresh new arm and over to a naked Blake) But - uh - it looks like you've got all the help you need.

Yang: Oh, yeah. Blake's been super helpful in keeping me fed and healing. (wiggles her eyebrows) She's also just super fun for a nun, if you catch my drift.

Ruby: Ew! Leaving! Now! Oh, my God! (disappears in a flash of light)

Yang: Sorry about that, Blake. Had to do that, otherwise she would have never left.

Blake: Yang, if I've learned anything since you've manifested in my life, it's that I can't be surprised by every little thing that comes by. Your sister being an angel being one of them. (shivers as the winter wind rattles the windows) Now, come back to bed. It's freezing in here.

Yang: Yes, Ma'am! (activates her hellfire - surrounding her body in a glow of warmth - and rushes towards the bed) Hallelujah!

Sympathy for the Devil; part 2

discord got me to finally write a connecting scene, so here! have some more of this nonsense au now based only vaguely on the blacklist! [part 1]

~~

“Alright. What do we know about him?”

Luo Qingyang stands at the back of the small conference room facing the large projector screen on the opposite wall. Her uniform jacket is draped over the back of the chair in front of her, and her fingers curl and uncurl of their own volition, kneading the dark blue fabric into the cushion beneath it. This is not what she expected her morning to look like. 

Her team -- her and Lan Wangji’s team, now -- is gathered at the table in front of her. 

Nie Zonghui has several stacks of photocopied notes spilling out of an open manilla folder, two highlighters, four sizes of sticky notes, and a legal pad in front of him. He has blue ink on his neck where the tip of the pen resting behind his ear rubs whenever he turns his head to the left. Frustration rolls off of him in waves. 

Lan Jingyi is typing rapidly on his CBC-issued laptop which is angled toward Luo Qingyang just enough that she can see he has six different windows open and is in desperate need of at least two external monitors. The overworked fan is almost louder than his heavy-handed, caffeine-fuelled typing. He’s twisting back and forth in the swivel chair, dragging his toes across the carpet, but swivels to a stop at her question. 

Qin Su stands off to Luo Qingyang’s right, placing photos -- mostly grainy or blurred -- in an ever expanding evidence map. At the top, with a dozen or so threads leading away from its pin, is a crisp, clean, photo of a man wearing an approximation of the CBC Academy uniform, smiling brilliantly at the camera. Beneath him, the title card reads: Yiling Laozu, Wei Wuxian. 

“Yiling Laozu?” asks Lan Jingyi, one foot tapping out a vague rhythm against the leg of the conference table. 

Luo Qingyang restrains her eyeroll, only because she can see that at least four of the open windows on his laptop are chasing down information regarding Yiling Laozu’s associates, rather than the demonic kingpin himself. 

“Yeah,” she says. “Break it down for me.” 

“Well,” says Qin Su, moving from the board to the open folio near her, “he’s a bit of a recluse, so we don’t actually know a lot.”

Her folio is much better organized than Nie Zonghui’s. 

“Start with the basics.”

Qin Su nods, “Right. Yiling Laozu. Wanted for-- basically every kind of spiritual crime known to the CBC. He invented the Ghost Path in his late teens or early twenties, we think. It’s unclear, what with all of the rumor and suspicion and superstition around even saying his name--”

“Yeah, he really looks like a boogeyman…” says Nie Zonghui. He’s stressed. They should never have sent him into the room with Wei Wuxian. 

Lan Jingyi says, “Hot boogeyman. If you ask me--”

Luo Qingyang clears her throat pointedly. “Nobody did. Moving on?”

“Yup!” 

Qin Su points to Lan Jingyi who taps a few keys on his -- very abused -- keyboard and takes over the projector. He throws several pages up on the wall, photos with short but damning rap sheets. 

“Known associates include Gui Jiangjun and Mo Daifu,” she says, indicating the sheets labeled Wen Qionglin and Wen Qing respectively. 

She points to Lan Jingyi again and a very low-light black and white shot comes up center-screen. It shows a man who could potentially be Wei Wuxian entering a building that is definitely Two Fans. The brilliant green of the sign is lost, but it is plenty readable. “He has been seen entering the Headshaker’s club on several occasions, but any actual association remains speculative at best.” 

Nie Zonghui shrugs in the corner of Luo Qingyang’s eye. “He might just have good taste in venues.” 

All three other agents in the room turn to look at him, brows quirked or furrowed or raised to different degrees. 

Nie Zonghui shrugs again, “What? It’s a nice club.”

--

Wei Wuxian rubs at the zip tie dent around the outside of his wrists. He plays it up a little, wincing and groaning just enough to be heard. 

Still, Lan Wangji doesn’t look at him. 

It’s fine. 

He follows the CBC Director and field agents out of the interrogation room and down a long, boring hallway. Lan Qiren and the other cultivator break off through one of the nondescript doors -- room 129-9, Wei Wuxian notes out of habit -- and then it’s just Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. Wei Wuxian following Lan Wangji. Down a long, boring hallway. 

It feels like old times. Especially as Wei Wuxian finds his eyes… wandering. 

The Bureau slacks look unfairly good on Lan Wangji, blue wool hugging tight to the curves of his legs and ass in a way no law enforcement uniform should ever be allowed to do. It’s rude. He must get them tailored. 

Lan Wangji leads him through another nondescript door -- room 157-3 -- which opens up into a large bullpen. Heads swivel in their direction, eyes snagging on Wei Wuxian and his casual state of dress. Everybody else in here is wearing uniforms in one state of undress or another, while Wei Wuxian is wearing ripped black jeans and a heather red v-neck. Hopefully he’ll get his jacket back soon. He spent a good amount of time stitching talismans into it; he’d like not to have wasted the effort. 

Eyes un-snag; heads swivel back toward screens. Wei Wuxian remembers the strength of Lan Wangji’s glare and he imagines it’s only become more powerful with age and seniority. He can practically feel the shiver up his own spine. 

Or maybe that is a shiver up his spine. 

It’s strangely nostalgic, being here, even though Wei Wuxian is fairly certain he has never been in this particular room before. But that doesn’t really matter. The layout is the same, the furniture is the same, even the smell is the same. The computers have been updated, at least, but not within this decade. 

Lan Wangji’s office is nice. Clean and minimalist, as expected. Stark white walls, a meticulously curated bookcase, and a matching walnut and glass-top desk. No pictures, no wall art, not even a particularly fancy name plate. The closest thing to a personal touch anywhere in the room is the tea set Lan Wangji’s mother made for him before she died. Wei Wuxian’s fingertips still remember the soft, inexpert curves of the cups. 

The door clicks closed behind him and the silence that settles is almost crushing. 

Tension pulls the lines of Lan Wangji’s shoulder blades toward the middle of his back, which is still turned to Wei Wuxian. His hands slowly curl into fists by his side. 

A familiar ache twists in Wei Wuxian’s gut -- has been twisting in his gut for almost an hour now. The ache for Lan Wangji’s eyes to be on him. The ache for his attention, for his reaction. Anything, really. Since the day he met Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian has always just wanted to break through that barrier Lan Wangji puts around himself, and to really touch him. 

Metaphorically. 

And literally, but that’s something else. 

Probably. 

Now, Lan Wangji’s long braid shifts across the navy fabric of his uniform coat as he turns his head to the side, the shining plait slipping like snake scales through water. Wei Wuxian holds his breath, waiting for the bite. He watches the tension held in Lan Wangji’s jaw forcibly release, and then, finally:

“Wei Ying.”

Hi ! I see you giving lots of NaruHina recs, I am looking for any NaruHina fanfictions with them being in rival yakuza/gangs or just the fanfic placed in a yakuza/gang universe

Thanks ! ❤️

Hello! I've done this recommendation list before, but I think there may be new ones to add to it...

NaruHina Yakuza / Gangs AU

new ones:

"Savage" from "NaruHina Erotica Oneshots" by @makuro767 - Rated E, Canon-Divergent AU, One-shot. Taking a deep breath, she focused on her current plan; escaping the Hyuuga Clan.

"Prey" by @sessakag - Rated E, Modern Crime AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing. The moon aligns, a sacrifice is offered and he knows, she is his destiny. Following that midnight chance encounter with Hinata Hyuuga, a smitten sociopath, Naruto Uzumaki, tries his hand at romance, determined to make her fall in love with him the only way he knows how.

Here's the old list:

“When the Devil Picks Up a Stray” by callmesenorita - Rated E, A/B/O Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. Hinata, an Omega, questions buried feelings when she decides to help a childhood friend who has adopted a new persona under the name Menma. Although their attraction is instant he is no longer the Naruto she once knew, and soon enough Hinata is thrust into a dangerous yakuza conspiracy. DELETED FIC

“Bound” by suryass - Rated E, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Series of One-shots/Incomplete. Mafia AU-Collection of oneshots.

“July - Movie-Inspired” from “Still Falling For You” by @chloelapomme - Rated T, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. Naruto and Hinata peacefully live with each other. Well, almost peacefully…

“Powerless” by @bunny-hoodlum - Rated E for a lot of things like depictions of violence and character death, High School AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. - His family’s past can’t be taken at face-value, and it comes clawing back to hurt him in ways that are out of his control.  DELETED FIC.

“Opposites Attract” by KyuubiLover100 - Rated E, High School AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. Citizens of Konoha all know that “The Light cannot exist without casting its Shadow.” It’s the unspoken system that the city runs on. Everyone knows their place and their roles. Those in the Shadows do what those in the Light cannot. Uzumaki Naruto knows this and has known this since he was young. Hyuuga Hinata knows this as well and understands her Father’s wished, but still…

“put on your warpaint” by @borzbois - Rated M, Tattoo Artist/College AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. Hinata meets a stranger with beautiful tattoos. She never could have guessed the turn her life would take when she asked to draw him.

“All Kinds of Wrong” by Kieren - Rated E, Infidelity/Modern AU, One-shot. It was ironic how something so pure had sprung from such a sordid arrangement. They were perfect for each other. But they had met at the wrong time.

“Pink Chiffon” by @scalding-coffee-cup - Rated M, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. During the day, she wears pink chiffon and nude pumps; her glossed lips curve into an innocent smile. At night, she struts down the alleyway in black stilettos and wears a scowl on her red lips. The pistol is her most expensive accessory.

“Molasses” by EroPrincess - Rated E, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. Adult film star, Hinata Hyuga, encounters a fledgling underground kingpin, Naruto Uzumaki. Is it possible for a romance to blossom between two people from very different worlds?

“Second Chances” by enzhe - Rated T, High School AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. Namikaze Naruto was abducted, then declared dead. Twelve years after he disappeared, his parents find him: now a scrappy, reckless teenager, with good friends, a lot of trauma, and ties to the murderous, anarchist Nine-Tails gang. As the family tries to put itself together, trust breaks, hurts heal, and the power struggles that led to Naruto’s abduction resurface.

“Dirtbags// The Fox” by OwlwaysHungry - Rated M, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. Naruto and his friends end up having to work for a notorious drug dealing gangster by the name of Kyuubi after a not so satisfying night out.

“a home is a dream” by bluebeardsbrides - Rated M, Modern AU, One-shot. Naruto Uzumaki returns home with all the force maelstrom, three days after her husband’s disappearance and six years since she went and stumbled on Neji’s body floating in the creek downtown.

“Gangster AU” from “Tales of Two Ninjas” by @magmawrites​ - Rated M, Modern AU, One-shot. This world is an endless cycle of destruction, no matter how hard you try to stop it and sometimes the innocent get involved in the crossfire.

“What He Wants” by agitosgirl - Rated M, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. Hinata Hyuuga is an average girl struggling, and failing to stay on top of things. But everything in her life changes once she meets a handsome stranger at club. She knows that he wants her, but doesn’t realize that he has the power, and the determination to do whatever it takes to make her his, no matter the cost.

Untitled collab w/ @matchaball for anon by @utsus​ - Rated T, Modern AU, One-shot. Prompt: She’s his ace in the cards that no one sees coming (that they honestly should’ve seen) and yes: she dislikes violence.

If anyone knows of others, please feel free to add!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this kind of AU.

Spiderdemon AU Characters

I figured it would be easier if I made a list of all the character roles for Spiderdemon with the Inky Mystery characters. Might be the best way to avoid making things confusing, and in case people have questions then this can hopefully help.

I'm mostly sticking with spiderman characters, because if I included ALL marvel characters I might lose my marbles. (though Felix would be a cool Iron Man.)

Now then, lets get started.

-First of all, The Devil is the Green Goblin. He'd just be called The Devil when out terrorizing people in his villain suit, while he's known as Lucifer, a rich business owner and a powerful figure in Toon Town.

-Dice is Kingpin. Handling the shady business so his boss can keep a good public image.

-Cuphead and Mugman both share the role similar to the Prowler. Though Cuphead goes by Red Diamond and Mugman Blue Spade. Both of them dress as how they dress in Inky Mystery when out working, but they both wear hoods to cover their heads, and smiling masks that look like their cartoon version faces. Adding a creepy twist when they're out on the job.

Both of them use guns. mostly special guns that fire unique and different bullets.

Cuphead, though, has a unique trick.

He has a mechanical arm. He keeps the fact hidden, and wears a special cover over said arm so people don't notice his arm isn't flesh when he's out as a civilian. When out on the field, it doubles as a backup gun.

Though when he got the arm, he wasn't told about a certain SURPRISE that was in the damn thing. Cuphead didn't exactly like said surprise for many reasons in the beginning.

While both Cupbros share the role of Prowler, only Cuphead has this role.

He's also Venom.

It was NOT pretty in the beginning. Cuphead was scared out of his mind when Venom first bonded with his body.

It was a rough time adjusting to it, but by the time Bendy becomes more serious with the hero thing, Cuphead and Venom would have great team work together and be damn good at the jobs they have to do.

Doesn't mean they always get along.

Venom: LET ME EAT HIM.

Cuphead: No. Get over it.

Venom: HE ATE THE LAST OF THE TATER TOTS! LET ME EAT HIM!

Cuphead: I'm not letting you eat my brother over cussing potatoes you big baby!

Mugman overheard that and promised to buy more later to calm Venom down. (Venom wouldn't actually eat Mugman, he just won't admit he's emotionally attached.)

-Holly would have the role of Mary Jane. Curious about Spiderdemon while being friends with Bendy during highschool and probably has a blog reporting all the good things Spiderdemon does. Since she's a couple years older though, before she goes to college, she tells Bendy he better not get himself killed until he can answer all her questions about his powers.

Bendy groaned over how he got busted and he thought he was doing a good job hiding his identity from his friend.

After being busted by her, Holly helps out with whatever she can so Bendy can be more prepared to save the day. Like doing research on criminal organizations or people running from the law, so Bendy can have a better idea on what to expect.

-Oddswell would be The Lizard in this AU. Bendy as Spiderdemon went to him in the beginning for medical help when he'd get hurt in battles, but then things happened that made Oddswell turn into a mutant gecko monster.

He was also Bendy's primary doctor when he was sick and dying in the hospital before getting spider powers. He thought it was suspicious that Bendy healed so fast when his chances were extremely slim. He did tests on Bendy and found some, interesting, things. He suspected Wilson had something to do with it with how quickly he left the hospital after his last visit.

But considering how Wilson was a good friend of his, Oddswell kept quiet, and kept those test results on Bendy secret for his safety knowing if word got out, Bendy would get a lot of unpleasant attention.

-Alice would be Doc Oc, but instead of extra robotic tentacles,  they'd be large robotic and deadly angel wings. She'd be known as Dr. Angel.

She ended up working for the same people that made the spider Wilson stole. Hoping to help people find a way to improve medical aid. Volunteering to do whatever it took to benefit mankind.

She doesn't realize until too late that she's being used by people who will do more harm than good. Not until robotic angel wings are fused to her body that can't be taken off.

It makes her resent Spiderdemon in the beginning. How this happened to her because he got his powers from the spider that was stolen, and now the people she works for will go to any length to get him.

- Oswald is a retired version of Black Cat, but used to go by Lucky Rabbit.

He got mixed up in a life of crime when he was going through things at a younger age, stealing to sell for profit. But then when he realized that wasn't what he wanted to do with his life, he put that all behind him, married Ortensia, and started a family with her before she passed.

Lucky Rabbit has a bit of a history with Felix. Since in this AU Felix still finds old relics that can be worth a fortune, when he was young and was starting his career, Lucky Rabbit stole an artifact Felix was hoping would help people.

At that point Oswald would be a bit smug over his skills, returning to the scene of the crime as a civilian and blend in with the spectators. who are there watching reporters covering what happened as police study the crime scene, looking baffled over how there's barely any clues.

But as he's leaving, he overhears something in another room, and takes a peak. Finding Wilson comforting Felix who's devastated over how Lucky Rabbit stole the artifact and is blaming himself for letting so many people down.

That's the first time Oswald starts feeling guilty and questioning what he's doing.

- Cala takes the role of Sandman. Though she'd be called Sand Gorgon.

Before she got her powers, she used to use a wheelchair. But when she got the power to manipulate sand, she used her powers to wrap a layer of sand around her legs to help her stand up and walk.

When using her powers to fight, her entire lower body is covered in sand, making it look like she has a tail instead of legs.

And water isn't a huge weakness for her. In fact she can manipulate sand underwater to help her swim at incredible speed.

She's also known for using her powers to trap enemies in sand, and make the sand harden together until it becomes stone. Practically turning people into stone statues.

-Lady Facilier takes the role of Kraven the Hunter. She uses Voodoo to hunt people she finds useful to her or is paid VERY well to kill someone.

-Brute takes the role of Rhino, though instead of a crazy dangerous rhino armor suit, Brute dresses in a deadly wolf armor suit. Calls himself Wolf.

-Fanny takes the role of Electro, calling herself Electric Cotton. She used to do crime with Oswald when he was Lucky Rabbit, but when he gave that up, Fanny made some choices that left her in a less than ideal lifestyle.

She's now stuck as a medic for Dice and Devil's employees/minions and occasionally has to do dirty work.

She's the only medic Cuphead and Mugman trust at least.

Brute also doesn’t lay a finger on her in this AU, because he knows she’ll FRY HIM. Doesn’t stop him from being a POS partner though.

-Sarah is Mysterio in this au. She calls herself Nightmare because she can use her illusions to make people's worst nightmares and trap them in a personal hell.

There are rumors about her that she's a lot older than she looks, because all people see when they look at her is an unsettling little girl. No one dares to try confirming that though.

-Pete’s Jay Jonah Jameson. Working on the news station and calling Spiderdemon a menace.

Bendy usually ignores it, but when he's feeling petty, some of his black webbing hits Pete’s office window or car at the news station when fighting a villain. 

Boris later watches Pete on tv yelling about spider demon's terrible aim.

Boris: ... You did that purpose, didn't you?

Bendy: Nooooo.

Boris: Bendy you hit his car 5 times with webs while every other car in that lot was clean!

Bendy: Not my fault the badguy was near his car 5 times.

Bendy does however have to talk Boris out of hacking Pete’s phone to mess with him and his script he worked on for the news channel. He doesn’t want him getting caught and arrested for a prank.

-Granny is Bendy and Boris’ sweet little elderly neighbor. They help out sometimes and keep her company. She used to watch the boys for Felix whenever he’s out of town for a few days until Bendy was old enough, and healthy enough, to watch Boris by himself. She still cooks for the family of three sometimes and is dubbed their honorary grandmother.

Though she scares the daylights out of Bendy when he’s out as Spiderdemon and sees Granny hitting a badguy with her cane if she’s there when he’s fighting. He quickly gets her out of there before the badguy gets over their shock and puts her somewhere safe.

Bendy: Ma’am, you’re the coolest elderly lady ever, but PLEASE never do that again.

Granny: Oh like I’m going to let some bully beat up a helpful young man such as yourself. *pats his face sweetly* Kick his butt dear.

and that's all I got for the characters in this AU. I might come up with more character roles down the line, but for now, this is it.

Hope you all enjoy!! :)

[aamusedly]

@tempesttragedy​ continued from X. 

Devil’s grin didn’t hold anything abashed at his shameless drinking, though it was a little amused that she’d caught him with his hand in the cookie jar. The mercenary put a hand over his heart as the waiter that had taken his glass pulled a chair out for her. “Almost.”

“I ordered dinner for us, by the way. You’ll absolutely love the fish here. They serve it with this polenta that’ll knock that dress right off--”

“Gorgeous dress, by the way. I hope I can measure up.” He adjusted his tie-- thin and orange, standing in contrast to his dark blue suit. Odd, seeing his horns out on full display here in a largely public place, but that was what the back room was for.

Even he got sick of staring. He could instead focus on making eyes at her across the table. “Tell me about yourself. Do you like Italian food? Have any pets? Where are you from?”

The Best Daredevil Fics I read in 2022

How to Make a Family by Matt Murdock

Step 1. Have a dad.

Step 2. Lose your dad. Be miserable. Great job, everyone. We’re doing amazing so far.

(Matt's arduous journey towards being a functional person, with many stops and starts along the way.)

Candy Land

Matt is having fun with this, at least in some way. Sucking on Life Savers and smirking, and no guilt at all. If Matt could feel guilt, none of this would be happening. Things might be okay again.

But he doesn’t, and this is what Foggy is left with: a candy-stained mouth and a creature that’s more devil than man.

And Foggy still loves him

Invisible Ink

“Hello, welcome to Josie’s, I’m Foggy, what are you looking for?”

“Uh, nothing,” the guy replies, and Foggy is nonplussed for the nanosecond it takes to put together glasses, cane, and the way Hottie McHotFace is gazing absently over his shoulder.

“Oh, oh, you’re blind, dude, sorry. But, uh, this is a tattoo parlour?”

“I know.” The guy sighs. “I lost a bet?”

Or: The One Where Foggy Is A Tattoo Artist And Matt Is The Worst

Just to Listen to Your Breath

After the events of Season 2, Matt and Foggy aren't speaking. But that doesn't mean Matt's not hanging around.

Knock Three Times (On the Ceiling If You Want Me)

Matt's downstairs neighbor sings showtunes (badly) at all hours, eats weird-smelling food, and never stops talking.

Matt falls in love long before they actually meet.

Rowan and Red Oak

Foggy meets a man with a red oak wand and a sweet smile. Over the next eight years, Foggy makes a lot of coffee, reads a lot of tea leaves, breaks a lot of rules and casts a lot of charms. He also spends a good amount of his time pining over his perfect partner and trying to keep his wild outbursts of emotional magic to a minimum.

Stupid Cupid

Foggy plays karma bingo and wins a cupid.

His cupid is possibly the worst matchmaker in the world.

Other People's Blood

Foggy finds himself reminiscing on the ten years he's known Matt Murdock - son of and assassin for the Kingpin. The things they've learned about each other and the violence they've wrought together. Something sharp, and twisted, and beautiful.

A love story written in other people's blood.

The Constellation of Touch

Months after Fisk is put away, nothing's right between the partners at Nelson and Murdock. But Christmas is here, and Matt is still expected at the Nelson house.

darling you're stars

Matt wanted only Foggy’s purple flannel and if he could not have that, then he would have nothing. He would go cold.

(Foggy tries to understand the underlying causes of Matt's bizarre relationship with clothes.)

just meant to smile

“So we agree that Matt is still an Elle, though?” Foggy said.

The current working theory among their cohort was that there were Elles, Emmetts, Vivians, and Warners and if you weren’t one of them you were an extra and you were doomed to fail.

“Yeah, no. He’s still an Elle.”

“Okay, so at the risk of sounding desperate, does this make me an Emmett yet?” Marci gave him a pitying look. She reached over and squeezed his shoulder.

“It’s gonna be okay, Vivian,” she promised. “The plot will go on once we get our internships.”

(The Legally Blonde AU that no one asked for.)

Take All The Courage

When what should have been a straight forward mission in Hell's Kitchen goes pear shaped due to lack of communication, teaching his teammates sign language seems like a logical step to Clint. Communication when their comms are down - great plan! And including the local vigilante, who's been working closely with them on this, is a real no-brainer.

Until it turns out said vigilante is an asshole that thinks sign language is beneath him, judging by the way he's stubbornly refusing to learn it.

(Conversely - Matt's trying, he really is but damn it, those two signs are exactly the same... what do you mean they mean completely different things?!)

None So Blind

They say when you assume you make an ass of you and me.

Matt wishes that the Avenger's assumptions about his seeming inability to read the written word did something as benign as making an ass of him and them. Being called illiterate shouldn't hurt, not when he knows he's not, and it's not like he can tell them the truth.

Not that the truth would make much difference. He's just going to have to grin and bear it.

If he can.

Speyeria Cybele

Matthew's not the first Murdock to tell Father Lantom he had the Devil in him. Only Jack's Devil was nothing like the one Matthew sees in himself.

Jack's Devil was magic. Literally.

(Or a history of Father Lantom's relationship with magic, the Devil and the Murdock boys)

anthropomorphism

Matthew Michael Murdock was a person who had been taken, killed or next to killed, and turned into a droid.

Foggy sobbed as quietly as he could into the toilet.

Like a Handprint on My Heart

The day Foggy’s supposed to start working at Hogarth, Chao, and Benowitz, he wakes up, walks into the bathroom, starts to take a leak, glances down to check his aim, and freezes when he sees black letters on the inside of his right elbow.

His bladder forgotten, he brings his arm up, closer to his face and horizontal, as if he couldn't tell what the word was immediately. As if he'd somehow misread it, even though it's only four letters.

Matt.

Look Around, It's You I Can't Replace

Matt handles his separation from Foggy after the breakup of Nelson and Murdock a bit less well than he anticipated. As in he doesn't really handle it at all.

What All This Time Was For

On the rare occasions he reminisces about high school Foggy kind of wonders if he isn't just filling in the worst parts of teen comedies.

Foggy goes to his high school reunion.

“Y/N!” Taeyong immediately froze, catching sight of you. His breath was labored, his arms shaking, “What are you doing here?” He scanned the surroundings, his face still contoured in alarm. 

“Uh, I saw the roses” You tried to keep your voice neutral, “And I followed the hedges. Before I knew it, I’d gotten lost.”

Taeyong let out a long, worn breath, “I thought someone had taken you,” He shut his eyes, trying to calm himself down. 

“I’m sorry,” You couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt.

“Never go off on your own,” Taeyong reopened his eyelids, the intensity of your stare almost making you squirm, “Promise me.” 

“I promise,” You said as you were told, dazed by how close Taeyong had gotten. 

“Good,” He allowed himself to gently brush your cheek with the back of his hand, “Let’s go back then.”

Yebin may be still in the gardens. You reacted. She might need more time to get away from here. 

“No!” You said a little too loudly, “Let’s stay out here,” You pulled onto Taeyong’s tie, to prevent him from turning back around.

Taeyong gave you a confused look, his mouth parting to say something. You immediately, yanked on his tie just as you had done earlier, and planted your lips on his. Taeyong was momentarily stunned. Your delicate fingers grasped onto his cheeks, bringing him in close.

You were a little worried, that Taeyong would pull back and question your intentions but your concerns when quelled when he kissed you back.

You felt Taeyong’s chest swell, his arms wrapping themselves around your waist. His kisses were heated, and domineering, he took the lead, his tongue swiping your lips apart and entering inside your mouth. You reflexively let out a moan. You had never been kissed as such. A kiss that ignited your insides and made your knees buckle.

Taeyong halted. You blinked, taken aback by how suddenly he’d stopped. Taeyong eyes darkened, the sound you just made. He wanted to hear it again.

“Taeyong?”

His lips crashed back onto yours, encapsulating your mouth. He kissed you feverishly, his hands running down the length of your back. He pushed, closer making the two of you stumble backward, into the wall.

You could feel the feathery touch of his hands move past your hips. You made a soft noise, which incited him to lift both of your legs off the ground. Your legs instinctively curled around him, grasping him tight.

His lips broke from yours, “Y/N,” His voice husky, his tone dripping in desire.

His lips trailed down your chin, then your neck. Your hands found his hair, tugging on his locks when he found a particularly sensitive spot on your neck.

“Taeyong,” You whined, 

His chest swelled. He wanted to hear your pretty voice say his name again.

He returned to the spot—his tongue darted, licking across its surface. Taeyong latched onto your skin, the twinge of pleasure and a little bit of pain made you tighten your legs around him even more.

MONI’S NOTE: I'm so excited to finally release this and give it an ending it deserves🤗 I hope you enjoy the changes I've made too. It's been a long time coming, and I thank everyone for their patience!

Do you read fanfics about gwen? And if so, can you recommend some? Preferably something similar to your writing.

i... don't anymore. i have trouble finding fics about her that aren't gwiles-focused, and it's basically impossible to look for comics-gwen fics because all the spiderverse fics are crosstagged.

i do have some recs though. they're not like my writing, but maybe you'll still enjoy them.

bending towards justice: very, very old comics-gwen fic written before her original run established murdock as her antagonist. at this point it's an au where murdock was a vigilante working for kingpin out of necessity. it's more about him than gwen, but she's in it and it's an interesting take on e65.

dry-eyed and tender: hybrid of marvel noir and spider-gwen. neat au where gwen's the spider-person in spider-noir. radium girl gwen is a great idea.

he looks up grinning like a devil: comics. gwen and murdock spar. it's very fucked up.

hide behind that baby face: sv. pre-atsv, gwen has a hard time at the spider-society. hobie helps.

i think it's about time i put up a fight: sv. gwen learns about fridging, and her reunion with her dad goes badly.

matt murdock's evil internship for struggling superheroes: hybrid of sv and comics. gwen starts learning from murdock after she gets back from miles's dimension.

murky blue: comics. glory/gwen. glory learns gwen's spider-woman.

new york isn't new york without you, love: sv. set post-itsv, written pre-atsv. about gwen grieving her peter.

puisque tu m'aimes: comics. just a sweet shippy felicia/gwen story.

salad days: sv. pre-atsv, gwen and hobie become friends.

tales from outside the fridge: sv. gwen learns about her deaths, does not take it well and miguel gets gross about it. fyi this one's a migwen fic, and it's explicit, so if you're not into that, skip it.

under the pink hood: 616 au. the original gwen stacy comes back from the dead, and she's angry.

your heart in a headlock: comics. gwen/em jay. a week in gwen's life.

Chapter 1 - Deal With The Devil

Read on Ao3

Summary (T) Earth 65 AU where Elektra is Daredevil and was hell-bent on killing her ex Matt Murd(er)ock but she’s in therapy now and is channeling her energy into helping Spider-Women defeat him instead. Semi-comics/Marvel movies crossover. Elektra and Matt are mostly based on the Netflix version and Gwen is based on Into the Spiderverse.

In another world it’s Friday evening; Gwen just aced her Physics midterm and is ready to enjoy her weekend. MJ would still be pissed because (somehow) Gwen still managed to be late to band practice. Although Gwen thinks MJ seriously needs to calm down, they’ve been practicing nonstop Gwen’s even practicing in her dreams. MJ annoyed groans would echo in her head, Gwen you’re early, you don’t come in until after Betty. MJ would ask everyone to stay late but Gwen would turn her down, already having promised Peter they’d get takeout and watch a movie. Peter would wait for her at the subway stop, with a wool scarf in his bag because it’s freezing and he knows Gwen is still walking around in a hoodie because she’s too stubborn to wear that embarrassing pink puffer jacket her dad bought her. 

Unfortunately, the real world sucks and she’s not just trash for showing up late to practice. She’s literally trash. In her trash home amongst her trash kin. 

Worst part is she has no one to blame but herself. She’s the idiot who tripped off a building and nose-dived into a dumpster. Which could be worst–she could be red sauce on the ground next to the dumpster. Never in Gwen’s wildest dreams did she think she’d be grateful to be lying in a dumpster on a Friday night instead of falling to her death. 

The slight ringing in her eyes halts as she hears footsteps approach. Quiet, pretend to be a rat, Gwen says to herself. A true New Yorker. 

“Spider-Women? What the hell are you doing in my dumpster?” An unfamiliar voice asks. Slowly, Gwen raises her head and opens her eye and– Fuck. 

Daredevil.

Gwen has heard plenty about the infamous Daredevil. The woman who bought the Kingpin down to his knees and personally delivered his ass to her father, along with a fat stack of incriminating documents to the police precinct and the district attorney’s office. Rumors were even going around that she tied a collar around his neck and made him walk around like a dog when she turned him in, like some sort of dominatrix. If Captain George Stacy wasn’t quite literally her dad, Gwen might have even humored the rumors. 

That’s one of the more fantastical and silly rumors going around about Daredevil, like the rumor that Lea Michelle can’t read. Like, everyone knows it’s a joke but still acts like it’s the truth. The other rumors are less so rumors and more so warnings. 

Those that Daredevil is brutal; brutal enough she might as well be the devil. A demon walking around Hell’s Kitchen. Dangerous. Dynamic. Deadly. According to sources (totally not Reddit), it does not fair well for anyone who stands between her and her swords. 

As much as Gwen respects someone who commits to her branding, she was hoping to avoid Daredevil and her little hand pitchforks sword things for as long as possible. Welp. Too late now.

“What’s it you?”

“My neighborhood. My turf. My dumpster.”

God, she’s scary. And British? Gwen isn’t totally sure, she just sounds ambiguously “posh.” Her sharp voice echoes through the alleyway, bouncing off the walls of dumpster wall, with all the elegance and cadence of the Queen. Barf. Or at least some BBC reporter. Or whatever stuffy British person. Honestly, the only good thing to come from Europe is the Punk movement. 

“You’re so weird about the whole Hell’s Kitchen thing. What happens if someone–”

“If Someone on 60th and Amsterdam get mugged, huh? Baby, trust me I’ve heard this before. If I can help of course I will help. My therapist just encouraged me to have obtainable expectations at work and to not overexert myself. Something you clearly… haven’t learned.” Ok, rude. 

“You’re seriously in therapy? Don’t you regularly beat up guys half to death?”

“Half to death. Pre-therapy they’d just be dead. That’s called personal growth,” she says as she pulls down the scarf covering the lower half of her face, revealing a smug smile. Ugh, of course, her lipstick color is flawless and a perfect swatch of red. She’s silent for a second, tilting her head to the side, before asking, “you finish your homework already?”

“It’s Friday,” Gwen groans. 

“Fair. Though it is past midnight, your parents won’t worry?”

“Nah, Dad’s working today.”

“Ok so high school. Damn, I knew you were young but I expected you to be at least in college.”

Oh shit. Dammit, Stacy! 

“Wait what?” 

“So how long have you been… a crime-fighting spider or whatever. And don’t lie, I can tell,” she says as places her hand on her hips. Wouldn’t be too intimidating if it weren’t of the reflecting bouncing off her silver weapons. 

“Look, I don’t know what your deal is but I’m not interested–”

“My deal is there’s a punk kid running around my neighborhood who’s going to get herself seriously injured or killed if she continues to be this reckless. Not only that, but you’ve been sticking your nose in my shit and I can’t have you fucking it up for me,” she sneers, each word feeling like Daredevil is cutting into her. “But I’m not lying, I’m in therapy. I’m less of a raging bitch now. Me five years ago would use my ninja-spy skills to find everything about you; every weakness, every move, and everything on everyone you’d ever loved just for messing with my shit. Now, I recognize that we both want to help our city in our little way and we’ll be more successful working together.” Damn, the tone shift. From Cersei Lannister to a school guidance counselor in seconds, holy shit. 

“I don’t need anyone to tutor me in the ways of being a superhero, I’m fine on my own. I don’t need anyone’s help.”

“Is that why you’re in a dumpster?”

“I’m just taking a little break. Self-care.”

“There’s a condom in your hood.”

“What! Ew ew ew ew,” Gwen squeals, bolting upright and jumping out of the dumpster. 

Oddly enough something must have caught Daredevil’s eyes, seeing as she makes her back towards the dumpster, stepping up onto the edge. Daredevil pulls out one of her sword pitchforks and uses the flat side to fish out–Gwen’s smartphone by the key charm. Ahhh. She really can’t do anything right today. 

“Seriously, you’re using your real phone when crime-fighting? Please tell me you’re smart enough to turn off your location,” Daredevil taps something into her phone before tossing it back to Gwen. “Anyways, here’s my number. I’ll train you, I’ll text you tomorrow,” and now she has a vocal fry? Seriously, what’s this lady’s deal? Did one of Kardashian seriously put on a suit to start fighting criminals?  

“Seriously!? You’re just leaving?” Gwen cries out. 

“Work-life balance, babe. I got a photoshoot tomorrow, I need my 8 hours. Go home, you also need it. And take a shower.”

And like that, the Devil disappears into the dark. 

Weird.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Despite being someone living a double life who has high sakes in securing anonymity, Gwen can’t deny her love for TikTok. Well, it’s not that she loved it per se, it’s just that she rarely has time to sit down and read a book or watch an actual TV show. With school and Spider-Women-ing, she barely has time to eat. While a “normal girl” could play youtube videos in the background while working out, she has to go through science flashcards while stretching if she even hopes of getting into college.         

Fifteen minutes. That’s all she’ll give herself. Fifteen minutes to turn her brain off and watch dumb videos. A video by Brenna Lip of some cops jumping the subway turnstile, double tap scroll, a recommendation to a new ramen restaurant, scroll, a video of herself swinging through Manhattan, nice. 

Then she freezes.

It’s the girls. Betty is holding a microphone and lip-syncing to trending audio by Elektra Natchios. ‘What’s your ideal man like?’ Betty asks before the camera turns to MJ, as she confidently brushes her hair back and says , ‘Funny. He has to have a really good sense of humor. But he can’t be broke. Because that’s not funny.’ 

Gwen lingers, letting the video play a couple of times. 

Would they have invited her to make the video if she were still in the band? Do they send each other TikTok ideas in the group chat? Could Gwen have found a way to still be in the band? 

She clicks on the comment button, blankly staring at her keyboard as the video plays over and over in the background. Just say hi. Anything.  

A notification banner breaks her trace, a text message from an unknown number, ‘Meet me at 10’ along with an address in Hell’s Kitchen. 

Stop feeling sorry for yourself, she says before tossing her phone on her bed. Time to be a Superhero. 

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

If anyone asks, Gwen’s only going because she’s curious. And that’s also why, for the first time in her life, she might actually be early to something. Shocker, right? Because like, what can Gwen really expect to learn from Daredevil; how to torture bad guys or something? Ok, maybe Gwen can learn a thing or two from her considering she personally helped the DA lock up Fisk. That’s probably not something Gwen can learn from YouTube. 

So as Gwen swings through Manhattan and lands on the rooftop, she’s expecting to find stakeout or spy gear or something. Or maybe even a guy tried up to a chimney if there’s any truth to all the rumors about Daredevil being a Satanist. Hopefully not, the Daily Bugle already labeled Spider-Woman a menace, Gwen doesn’t need to also be associated with cultists.   

Reality is someone more unexpected.

There’s no way…What the hell!

Never. Never ever. In a million years did Gwen expect to find fashion model and influencer Elektra Natchios cosplaying as Daredevil at the exact time and place she’s suppose to meet with the Daredevil. Elektra is wearing the same black loose cargo pants, the same black long-sleeve top with red accents and the double DD on the chest, the same utility belt with an excessive amount of pockets, and the same long red scarf flowing loosely from her neck. The red helmet with the icon horn sat by her feet. 

Gwen bets she looks like surprised Pikachu right now. 

“No. Way. You’re Elektra Natchios? You’re Daredevil!?” Surely this is a joke. Surely she’s cosplaying or something. 

“Yeah,” she says, drawing out the vowels before her voice trailed off. Ignoring Gwen's blatant state of disbelief as she bent down to pick up her signature Daredevil helmet. Gwen's jaw just stays open as her brain tries to process it. 

“What the hell is wrong with you!? Aren’t you the daughter of a Greek politician or something!? Aren’t you a model!? You have how many followers on TikTok!? Didn’t you date the Weekend!?” Not that Gwen cares about celebrities and influences or whatever, she’s much more interested in indie rock music, but it’s not like she lives under a rock. Although, the only reason she knows about Elektra is because she says a lot of “relatable” shit in interviews that get turned into memes. That and her hot takes about feminism, classism, and racism that always make their way to her TikTok feed. 

“What about it?” She asks innocently, fluttering her eyes, as if obvious to the absurdity of the situation. 

“Why the hell are you dealing out vigilante justice!?” 

“Why are you?”

“Because I can! Because I have to!”

“No, you don’t. You don’t want to do anything you don’t want to. What’s the real reason?”

This lady can’t be serious. Of course, she did. Or else–

“Because I want to help people because I can help people. Even if the public doesn’t trust me, or label me a criminal or murderer, I have to try,” she says a bit softer, looking down at her feet instead of Elektra’s eyes. Or else Peter’s sacrifice will be in vain.

Elektra doesn’t say anything, letting the sounds of the city speak. That of traffick and the Hudson and people eight stories down. 

When Gwen breathes a little and looks up, Elektra is wearing her helmet. The scarf is still loosely around her neck.

“Cute. I do it for revenge,” she says in her deep scary Daredevil voice. Despite the mask, Gwen can feel Elektra’s eyes staring into her. There’s the devil. 

“Revenge?”

“Yup. My ex-boyfriend killed my dad.”

“Oh that sucks. Wait sorry! That’s insensitive, I mean, that’s horrible. I have no idea, I’m sorry you had–”

“You’re funny,” Elektra laughs, cutting her off. “You’ve heard of Matt Murdock, right? Wilson Fisk’s lawyer.”

“I wish I hadn’t,” Gwen groans, rubbing the back of her neck. She’s not supposed to know but she’s overheard her dad talk about Murdock a couple of times. Apparently a real pain in their ass. 

“You’re going to help me bring him to justice.”

WIP Game

i was tagged by @thevampireauthoress (thank you friend!!)

RULES: post the names of all the files in your WIP list, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it. And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

So I have a metric ton of wips. Like a metric ton. I collect them. Ones from years ago I'll pick up and work on again. But some I like more then others and are more likely to be finished, and there are some I've tapped for posting later, so I'll focus on those (i'm also excluding all wow oc related fics) I am also including meta posts I've been clunking away on and I will separate them.

Now that I have presented you all with Too Many Wips, I must admit I don't know who among you are writers with wips you would like to share (as I know many of you do original stuff you may not want to share) so I will instead say: Consider Yourself Tagged If This Seems Fun Because I Genuinely Am Curious
