#He wasn't ready

"If I'm reincarnated... I want to live somewhere where life is easier. Where nobody has to steal, or kill... I'll live with him, and the girls, and...No! I don't want to die! I have so much to do!"

@allvalley100 For the Bookends prompt. Returning to my Shootfighter crossover universe this week! Dutch/Johnny/Ruben, three parts, all exactly 100 words.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Helluva way for Dutch to finally come out of the closet, huh?” Tommy mused, draining his first beer.

Bobby glanced around the bar and hummed in agreement. This wasn’t quite what he’d expected when Dutch said he was seeing someone new and wanted to introduce them to his friends.

But it wasn’t unexpected, either. They’d all seen the way Dutch looked at Johnny. The surprising part was that he’d given up and settled for someone else.

Bobby was still lost in thought when a sharp elbow dug into his ribs.

“Bobby, look!” Jimmy hissed.

Bobby turned, and his jaw dropped.

 ~~~~~~~~~~

“Holy fucking shit!” Tommy cried, his face lighting up.

Dutch stood just inside the doorway, a besotted grin on his face, one arm wrapped around a very familiar blond. Before Bobby’s brain could reboot, Jimmy and Tommy were scrambling over him to go congratulate the happy couple.

“Oh my god!” Jimmy laughed.

“It’s about damn time!” Tommy crowed, tackling them both in a hug.

“Umm, guys?” Dutch stammered as they were ushered into the booth, where Bobby still sat, frozen in shock. “There’s something I need to…”

Before he could finish, the door swung open, and another blond strode in.

 ~~~~~~~~~~

Dutch waved at the new arrival. As he weaved through the crowded bar, Bobby’s eyes ping-ponged between him and Johnny.

Or was it Johnny?

“What the fuck?” Jimmy breathed in his ear.

The Johnny look-alike gave Dutch a quick kiss before sliding in on his other side. “Sorry, couldn’t find a parking space.”

Dutch sat there bookended by blonds, looking like the cat that ate the canary. “Guys, I’d like you to meet Ruben Patterson,” he grinned.

“Our boyfriend,” Johnny clarified, trying not to laugh in their stunned faces.

Bobby swiped Jimmy’s beer and downed it in one, long gulp.

Steve let out a cry of shock as he was thrown into a portal and when they had finally made it to Heimdall, he threw himself on the floor gasping and looking up at Loki like he was gonna be sick. "I don't think I'm made for interdimensional travel like that. That was unnerving..."He was at Loki's feet, hugging his legs and looking down with a frown.

Loki's brows arched as he observed the mortal, a mix of amusement and pity in his demeanor. He carefully knelt down to his level, ignoring Heimdall's subtle intrigue in the situation as he watched from nearby. The God reached out and gently lifted Steve's chin, meeting his gaze. "It's awful and jarring, I know," he murmured comfortingly, "It gets a little easier with time..."

Heimdall observed the interaction, stoic as usual, though he was curious about the interaction before him. He had never witnessed The God of Mischief be so gentle toward a mortal before - but there was something different about Loki, something even his all-seeing gaze couldn't quite capture. "You've brought a Midgardian this time," came his steady, calm voice. He paused as he assessed the mortal, then added, "Not just any Midgardian, either - Steve Rogers."

The God shot a side glance up at Heimdall, eyes narrowing slightly in response, as though to silently convey his acknowledgement as well as a hint of vexation. He returned his focus to his companion, pressing his palm to Steve's cheek delicately. "How are you feeling?" Loki probed softly, attempting to gauge his reaction. "We can take a moment if you need, just sit here until you're ready..."

I love how Senshi knows exactly how Namari would react knowing this upon meeting her once

[catsharky]

Yeah I was right and there was no way I was getting the rest of this done without making you all wait another month or two, so I just went to the next good break point. We're officially past the halfway point with Astarion though, so not too much longer before you actually get to see Rolan again!

4MINUTES (2024) EP. 8

[lazylittledragon]

ok i swear i'm not going to talk about my breakup forever but the thing that just keeps bothering me:

i know that not getting what you need in a relationship is a COMPLETELY valid reason to end it but also. i feel like having a very vulnerable moment where i opened up about my struggles with intimacy and being relieved that i didn't have to keep doing things i wasn't comfortable with, then being dumped a YEAR later because of my lack of intimacy. is something i should be allowed to be very hurt by???

Same As The Day I Lost You

I...

This came to me as I'm making dinner so I'll be quick.

What if we mix deaged Danny and twin/older sibling (either one works) Damian, AND he gets tossed to his sibling in a last minute escape.

Like what if he was fighting Vlad who was doing his whole "denounce your father and join me as my son Daniel!" Thing while in the Zone and knocks Danny into something that's floating in the Zone with the ability to deage or was hit by a new Fenton or Plasmius invention while fighting in town that accidentally deages him.

Danny, who in this was adopted, gets put back to the age of six. The same age he had been found by Jazz in a 'haunted' forest Jack and Maddie were visiting/investigating while also using that time as a family vacation. (They were shocked to see a little boy with a stab wound bleeding out and rushed him to the nearby town, almost completely forgetting about the glowing green tiny puddle they found nearby and bagged most of it as evidence when they heard Jazz's scream of terror over finding the hurt little boy)

The sudden revert into that traumatized age, along with the child response to a fight or flight scenario, and add Danny's deepest need/wish to be protected his child fogged mind wishes to go to the one person who always made him feel safe.

His twin/older brother.

Just as quick as it was with Danny being turned into a child, his ghost powers ripped open a portal and sent Danny to the person he wants to be with...

Only he didn't know that right at that moment his seventeen year old twin/older brother is currently fighting the League with his family's help (his mother was trying to convince him to return to the League and be it's heir) in Nanda Parbat (the very place Damian lost the last/only person he knew loved him without any strings attached.)

So imagine everyone's face when a portal opened up, some muttering its a new pit being formed before them or something, and crawling out of it is a very scared and confused six year old Danny.

Another QA from our Telegram!

[acebabecd]

If Sam flirting with Dorian is partially to get a reaction out of Orym, I don't think it's gonna work. 1. Liam finds Sam too entertaining to hate it, 2. Orym already thinks Dorian has no interest in him. He's more likely to be resigned and want his friend to be happy as he pushes his emotions down.

Now, DORIAN getting jealous of Orym being hit on is a possibility

rewatching the lone star cross over with the knowledge/confirmation that buck's bi is sooooo funny, because look at him

if you saw these still out of context in what world would you assume they're from a scene where buck is consoling tk about his dad being presumed dead? like no wonder tk clocked his ass.

it's even more hilarious that this interaction apparently set off zero alarm bells in buck's head and so it took him a whole three more years to come out. he really just thought he allied too close to the sun.

all i'm saying is buck's lucky tommy was single because otherwise he would've carried on accidentally flirting with hot queer firemen and never putting the pieces together.

So uh... new F/O just dropped.
