#am I talking about an AU? comparing them? who knows I'm going to sleep

Anyway, I’m back from the war (preparing refs for ArtFight), so here are my TGCF and Epic: the Musical thoughts: 
[MAJOR TGCF NOVEL SPOILERS]
Xie Lian’s story is pretty similar to Odysseus’s imo
“The blood on your hands / Is something you won’t lose / all you can choose is whose” (The Horse and the Infant) - this entire plot point is pretty much the “two people and one cup of water.” Just like Odysseus must kill the son of Hector, Xie Lian can’t deal with the war and provide war to Yong’an, and he chooses to prioritize Xianle/the people under him 
“If I became the monster…” is a different reason for blackening - Odysseus wants to protect his crew and family while Xie Lian isn’t protecting anyone at this point - but that song feels MADE for him tbh. The point where Odysseus repeats, “Oh, Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves,” (a point made by Poseidon), where he’s repeating Poseidon’s logic of not showing mercy compared with Xie Lian believing White No-Face/Bai Wuxiang’s philosophy after those infected by the Human Face Disease killed him over and over again
The “Monster” clip could also work for Jun Wu / Crown Prince of Wuyong (even better than for Xie Lian because he was still trying to save the people of Wuyong by sacrificing lives while Xie Lian didn’t really make an active decision to harm anyone until he wanted to release the Human Face Disease, which, again, wasn’t to protect others), but I don’t remember enough to make more of an argument / animatic
Mu Qing and Eurylochus are pretty different yet similar as well - they’re both willing to use “unscrupulous” methods and leave behind others - albeit Eurylochus is talking about leaving their men to stay as pigs on Circe’s Island, I believe, while Mu Qing is not really as cruel or selfish as he’s portrayed; he was prepared to sacrifice himself to save Xie Lian and Feng Xin at the end. However, like, Eurylochus, he’s “not as moral” as Xie Lian and Feng Xin (Odysseus and Polities in Eurylochus’s case) and leaves Xie Lian and Feng Xin during their exile. 
Idk if Mu Qing would confront Xie Lian the way Eurylochus confronts Odysseus in Mutiny though. He was weirdly excited about Xie Lian maybe killing someone (someone mentioned it a while ago; I don’t remember exactly) and seemed to want Xie Lian to be less “perfect.” Plus, Eurylochus is confronting Odysseus about running away from the sea monster Scylla, which I don’t see Mu Qing condemning. HOWEVER, Eurylochus’s doubt in Odysseus's leadership and ability to keep the crew alive is something I could definitely see in Mu Qing (source: just trust me, bro)
(To be honest, I don’t really get Eurylochus’s character that much - he’s upset Odysseus chose to run from Scylla, but he was all for leaving their men to Circe? - but those albums aren’t fully out yet, so it may make more sense later)
I refuse to believe Feng Xin would work as Polities though. It makes sense in all senses of morality, character function, and plot, but Feng Xin would not sing “Open Arms.” I refuse to believe it. 
Pei Ming has the same vibes as Hermes (“Wouldn’t You Like” and “Dangerous”) actually. I don’t have any clear reasoning, but it makes sense to me, yanno?
Speaking of which, while Jun Wu has similar vibes and ideologies to Zeus (“it is the will of the gods”) and Poseidon, if I had to cast anyone as Poseidon, it would HAVE to be Shi Wudu. 
“His title of ‘Water Tyrant was earned due to him capsizing any ship that did not give him offerings” (TGCF Wiki; Book 1, Ch.13) and “When a god comes down and makes a fleet drown, is he scared that he’s doing something wrong? Or does he keep us in check, so we must respect him, and now no one dares to piss him off?” (Monster)
“Shi Wudu considers death better than experiencing or watching prolonged suffering and pain” (TGCF Wiki; Book 3, Ch.124) and “I mean, you totally could have avoided this / Had you just killed my son” (Ruthlessness)
There’s probably more to say, but it’s ~5 am. I was prepared to sleep, like, 3 hours ago. If there are mistakes, no there aren't

Childhood friends AU with Dottore. Like comparing how he acted as a child towards the reader and how he acts towards the reader now.
Alright anon^^
Dottore = Zandik^^
Tumblr media
During the time when both you and Zandik were children. You were the one that has to approach him first.
The other kids in your hometown didn't even like either of you. With you being interested in the wonders and changes of the world meanwhile Zandik being the one to find the wonders and make the changes happen.
In short, you two were pretty much bullied and made fun of.
So to be able to approach Zandik and befriend him would take a lot of time and patience. Like trying to tame a lion.
Zandik was always rude to you. He would give you the cold shoulder and even insult your intellect. But that didn't stop you from smiling and talking to him. Even after the various insults he tossed your way, he was still surprised to see hanging around him.
Then the night happened where Zandik got chased away by the villagers.
You immediately followed the tracks and found him hiding inside a hollow tree, all covered in scrapes and bruises.
At first, Zandik was afraid you were going to rat him out and hand him over to the people wanting him dead but was instead surprised when you sat beside him and cleaned his wounds with the bandages, cloths and water you hid in your bag.
"You're not going to take me back to the village..?"
"Why would I? I think they're the monsters if you ask me."
After patching him up with the best of your abilities, you stood up and held out your hand towards him.
"Wanna run away together? I don't want to live in a village where people would hurt someone because he views the world differently than them."
You didn't expect Zandik to cling onto your stomach and hug you tight. You could hear the soft sniffles and whimpers he let out and it made your heart break into pieces. You could only hug him back and comfort him.
You two were mere children. And children who knows they aren't accepted into something they thought they were part of would leave. That's what you and Zandik did. You both left without turning back, leaving without any regret.
For Zandik however, something changed about his view towards you.
You became his light, the one who led him out of the darkness of the cruelty of the world.
Tumblr media
"Daydreaming again? Tsk, tsk, what am I going to do with you, love."
You flinched when Zandik, now known as Dottore, flicked your forehead with a grin.
"I wasn't daydreaming, I was just thinking back to the time when we ran away as kids."
"If you want to reminisce about our time together as children then you can take Kappa with you. He's oddly clingy towards you."
Zandik wrapped his arms around your waist, his mask hitting against your shoulder as he nuzzled into your neck.
"I don't see a problem with it. Aren't you that clingy back when we were kids? You wouldn't even let go of my hand whenever I was looking at the sleeping rishboland tigers."
You heard Zandik mutter under his breath as he trailed soft kisses down your neck and towards your collarbone.
"Yes, yes.. but I wasn't the one who turned on the ruin golem and got spun around the control room."
You let out a huff as you recalled the memory of you spinning inside the control room when you accidentally turned on the ruin golem you and Zandik found during your time at the Akademiya. Zandik had to carry you back to your shared home since you couldn't even walk properly.
"You should be lucky I'm married to you."
"Oh? And why is that?"
"I would have told Pantalone about all the embarrassing things you did when you were just a child."
"Hmph."
You were surprised when Zandik picked you up and placed you over his shoulder. You heard him mumble something under his breath before he began to walk to your shared bedroom in the palace. Curiosity getting the best of you, you turned your head to your husband and poked his cheek.
"Zandik? What are you mumbling about?"
You yelped when Zandik leaned towards your thigh and bit down on your soft flesh.
"Children this.. children that. How about I give you children so you have something to busy yourself with, darling."
"Don't be a tease, Zandik..."
"Who says I was teasing, dearest?"
You had to cover your reddened face from the other harbingers' gaze as they watched Dottore carry you to your bedroom. Meanwhile Dottore held a grin on his face as he thought about the various things he would do to make you scream his name throughout the palace.

Okay sooo ummmm I've been working on something in the background.
So like, I've been working on a Meet the Robinsons AU idea that I plan on making a ton of content for in the background, I even have some art for it already. However, I wanna see if people would be interested in it... so I'm gonna describe the main players of the AU and answer some questions here in this post because I've just been DYING to info dump about this! Okay, let's start with...
The explanation of everything! What even is this AU I'm working on? It'll be called "Lazy Days." Essentially, this is an AU where the Robinson family stays in their comfy clothes and bedheads all day while drinking tea and/or coffee and binging junk food while watching movies... to name a few activities. My vision for this AU is a super cozy and chill vibe. Sweaters, socks, sweatpants, sleep shorts, donuts, whipped cream cans, coffee mugs, pizza, lo-fi, and more await in this AU!
What are some key differences? Besides the comfy lounge wear? Well, for one, Neil and Franny have more kids. Wilbur is still the eldest, he just has three little siblings now! One of which is adopted! I'll tell you more about them later on in this post. As for another key difference? Neil is still a super genius and everything, however, all of his inventions have a noticeably more... cozy, aesthetic feel. All I'm saying is, Carl looks REAL different in this AU.
Will there be a story? Meh... I'm still debating that. For now, it's just kind of a thing I entertain when I want to/am prompted to. If it were to have a story, it would probably focus on Wilbur and his sibs.
What did you mean by the "main players?" Just what I what refer to as the "core" members of the family. So, Neil and Fran, plus their four kids: Wilbur, Freddie, Mazie, and Leo. Speaking of...
Cornelius 42 years old. Summary: Caffeine Junkie, Sleepyhead, Scatterbrain Owner of his own engineering company, and a pretty chill one at that. He baffles others in his field because on the surface, he seems to not be all there - his choice to show up to important meetings and talks in sweatpants doesn't exactly help with that assumption. However, nobody can deny his amazing intellect, even if it at first glance it seems buried under all the goofball-ness.
Franny 41 years old. Summary: Intense, Mama Bear, Prideful A global phenomenon for her music featuring her own frog band! She's made up her brand from the fact that she's the only musician in the world right now who makes music using little amphibians who miraculously learned how to walk and talk. Besides music, Franny also adores everything about her husband.
Wilbur 16 years old. Summary: Sheepish, Easily Bored, Bookworm When he's not sneaking snacks from the kitchen in the middle of the night, he's usually curled up in a chair reading the book he recently checked out from the local library. His parents are surprised just how much he mellowed out compared to three years ago. That being said... ADHD doesn't magically go away after you grow up a little.
Freddie 13 years old. Summary: Old Soul, Green Thumb, Foodie She was adopted into the family two years after Wilbur was born. It was a circumstance of her father not being able to take care of her at the time. She's the plant person of the family, opting to spend her days taking care of her little garden in the backyard. Which includes fresh produce!
Mazie 10 years old. Summary: Weirdo, Hypersensitive, Pouty She's absolutely OBSESSED with cryptids. Bigfoot, Night Crawlers, Aliens, Mothman... you name it, she probably knows a whole book's worth of information about it. Hell, she'll even watch cryptid adjacent stuff. For example, kaiju movies. Her ultimate dream is to see the Loch Ness Monster. Or Bigfoot. Or aliens. Or any cryptid.
Leo 3 years old. Summary: Non-Verbal, Picky, Loner Leo is the only one who takes after his father, sharing his blonde hair. Which couldn't have worked out better! You see, after Leo was born, Franny went on a massive world tour. So Neil was the one taking care of him during his early years, and so Leo got very attached to his daddy. Wherever Neil goes, Leo follows. He's very fussy and uncooperative if Neil is away at work or just out for groceries.
I'm super curious to see your thoughts on this, if any. I'm gonna make stuff for this regardless, but I still want to start some conversations! Ask box is always open! THIS POST HAS A SISTER POST NOW! This one has images! :o Here it is -> Lazy Days Character Busts.

I'm sick and rereading Two Halves and I know I leave a lot (A LOT) of stuff in the end notes but there's actually lots of stuff I still never mention or talk about so here's a long sick at 4am ramble about things I didn't get the chance to talk about but wanted to (in somewhat of an order reminded by rereading) or at least just some lines I particularly enjoyed
So here it is! Chapter Commentary ch1 let's goooo
"She felt pity for the scientist. What was it like to be so ignorant you slept deeply even with a ticking bomb around your neck?" <- She actually feels some envy, even if she won't admit it, because Karai has never slept this soundly in her Life much less in a dangerous situation. She's puzzled by normal people's ability to NOT be on guard 24/7 but wishes she could sleep that nice
I REALLY AM a huge huge fan of this trope, the "X character was SECRETLY Y hidden monster species all along!" because of the amount of interpersonal shenanigans it can cause. This AU is a bit of a new one for me because most of the shenanigans are actually action packed over straight up personal drama haha
I like to think the cut Karai left on Stockman’s jaw in ch1 ended up scarring so he has a Cool AU Marker to tell him apart
That collar looks So uncomfortable Stockman how do you sleep in that thing
I guesstimate in later chapters that Karai is about 600lbs in her changeling form, but likely she weighs more (before losing a couple dozen pounds to injuries). Basically, she nearly busted Stockman’s desk sitting on it like that but she's prone to Sitting On Things when stressed. The height advantage gives her comfort
The way Karai speaks to Stockman in chapter 1 is deliberately very formal and unlike her. She's approaching it as both a potential professional deal and as a potential massive risk, so Stockman is actually about one wrong sentence away from being killed this entire chapter. He only realizes this way way way later. Karai relaxes her way of speaking to him later a TON and we see that she talks pretty casually with him by the end
Stockman staring at her curiously, Karai bristling over it. He's a scientist and she's a new creature he hasn't seen yet! But Karai is specifically Never Supposed To Be Seen. Staring makes her very very twitchy (stabby)
“You have plenty of choices. You just don’t want to play with your life enough to try for all of them. I can respect that.”
"When it was just your own life on the line, it was easy to gamble with it." <- There's two ways to interpret this. One: When your life is on the line, you'll do anything to win. Two: When just YOUR life on the line, you'll do anything to win. The first is Stockman, who is only in it for himself, who can afford to risk it all. The second is Karai, who has Miwa to think of, and therefore the only thing Karai HAS to risk is her OWN life, because Miwa’s comes first.
Technically the Kraang are a bigger threat than Gumm-Gumms, but because Karai's own priorities revolve around Miwa and herself, Gumm-Gumms are the far more important threat
“She’s your collar.” [Miwa] I just love this so much like Stockman caught on IMMEDIATELY and compared it to his situation in a heartbeat and realized in all of thirty seconds that Karai is just as much at gunpoint as he is
Karai loves her human form only in that it's technically Miwa. Otherwise, she fucking hates it. It's weaker, softer, squishier, her senses are awful, and changelings get Very Twitchy (Stabby) when they're forced to be in one form for too long. In a ninja compound, Karai doesn't get to use her natural form NEARLY enough
Karai’s chest scar isn't actually present in her human form. But she gets phantom pains
Karai is that meme of crying her heart out for ten minutes and then her alarms go off and she's back to working without any issue. Gotta be efficient with your breakdowns
Karai projecting right off the bat that the Hamatos will hate her purely for being what she is. This is both from experience and from her own feelings. Aha 💔
It took you 15 chapters honey but you finally killed Shredder 🧡
I dislike a lot of the turns of phrase in here. I have cognitive difficulties and getting back into writing after two years of struggling just to function, that's been most evident with getting words to go together the way they should. Sometimes there's certain ways I know words need to go together but I can't remember how? Or I get the entire sentence scrambled and have to go back later and reorganize. The intent is there, but the words get literally out of order. I spend a good few runs going over chapters to iron out those kinks but this early on it's especially easy for me to see where I was struggling on some parts. Fortunately practice makes perfect and even just a few chapters later there's a lot of improvement!
Suck it, health issues! I've been working hard to get my body back and now my mind is on the right track too!
Notable comments this chapter that made me giggle

February 11th, 2024
I woke up earlier than everyone else but I tried to stay in bed for longer for 2 reasons. (1) I still felt a little tired and could use some more sleep, (2) eventually tired culture australian (TCA) woke up and I didn't want to deal with him alone. I know this has been a common theme but my reserves have really been depleted for him and I haven't had the chance to fill up again.
This is skipping ahead a little bit, but today was a particularly frustrating day regarding him. Out of all of us I am the best at walking in cities, who knows if it's practice or talent but whatever. I also know just how annoying it is to have a group of tourists bumbling through a busy sidewalk. TCA would stop in the middle of sidewalks, often coming to a complete stop directly in front of me. He also repeatedly walked directly in front of me slowly while also boxing me in so I couldn't move around him. He is also particularly clingy with me. Yesterday was better because he talked a lot with my sister so I had some more space, but with her gone he immediately reverted back to me. After me, the person he is most likely to velcro to is authentic Australian so a few times I was able to facilitate conversations between them and slip away to walk with former Italian but that would only work for a little. I ended up snapping at him when he stopped in front of me on a crowded sidewalk for the thousandths time that day, which I do feel bad about. It's so easy for me to get mean when I'm overwhelmed, but it's so easy for me to get overwhelmed around him. It comes so quickly.
Some important information here would probably be that TCA is autistic. I have a lot of people in my life that I love that are (or probably are) autistic, and I think I'm better than the average person at understanding how to have relationships and interactions with autistic people (probably because we're not even sure if ADHD and Autism are separate disorders and regardless there's overlapping shared experiences that put me in a unique position). However, I have my limits. For example, in the past I have compared having conversations with T to having conversations with a fae. If I don't speak literally and clearly at all times I may end up promising something I didn't intend to. In the same line, I have difficulty handling people who struggle with interpreting social cues of inferring other people's emotional states. T has some issues with this, but not entirely because he has compensated in other ways. TCA is a different story, so the only way he notices when other people are uncomfortable is when they tell him, which is not his fault but is annoying. Unfortunately he also does nor take any sort of implication that he is unwanted very well either, so often it feels like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with him.
With this in mind, I knew that if I got up while everyone else was asleep except TCA he would suggest we go down and get breakfast together, and I desperately needed someone else to be a buffer. So I continued to lay in bed with my eyes closed until I heard former Italian also get up.
The Australians were ready to go down to breakfast first so they left without us. Former Italian then revealed that she had also been up for hours, but because of authentic Australians snoring. The boys sat at their own table due to limited seating so we each had our own little breakfast dates.
Breakfast wasn't bad, it was buffet style, but there were limited options. I immediately beelined for the bread, cheese, cucumbers, and tomatoes and I could feel former Italians amusement continuing to grow as I grabbed each one. Additionally, I picked 2 pain au chocolats which ended up being possibly some of the best ones I've ever had. Still warm.
I made my little bread and cheese breakfast while former Italian laughed at how German my breakfast was, later on authentic australian said when he saw the bread and cheese section he immediately thought that I would be happy.
We went back for more pain au chocolats but there were no more, I was devastated. That was until former Italian spotted them being refilled and brought back an entire plate for the 2 of us. When the Australians spotted her carrying it to our table they immediately started laughing, but jokes on them we had a wonderful time eating them.
After breakfast we walked to a grocery store to pick up some food for a little picnic lunch before heading over to where we would be getting picked up for a boat tour. The Australians dissapered for a bit so former Italian and I found a place to sit and talk. It was a courtyard for a museum that was filled with crocuses that were about to bloom. In the distance, someone was playing jazz.
Eventually, the boys found us and it was time to get on the boat. It was unlimited drinks so while they had wine and beer I had hot chocolate and sparkling water. My favorite moment was when the guide went through the boat and asked each of is where we were from, but completely skipped over me. I think she assumed that because I was sitting next to former Italian that I was also Italian, so now I won't stop saying that's where I'm from (I made former Italian pick a town where I would be from but I can't remeber the name, just that I would have to be from the north). She also forgot that I had asked for a drink and served several other people that asked after me, so maybe I'm just invisible. Later on when she was saying a fact about the city she said "I don't think there's any Americans on board" and we all started giggling. But the boat trip was nice, it was a good way to spend an hour.
Afterwards we had our lunch under a fountain and walked around a little more. We did try to go to this Cafe for.er Italian wanted to go to but it was closed when we arrived, too much walking for not enough reward but at least we got to stop in the flower market along the way. We ended up sitting at a cafe where they got more beers and I got another hot chocolate. We talked for a few hours about lots of different things but the biggest one was about how authentic australian was the only one out of all of us who had only lived in one house, and one country his entire life. I told him that sooner than he thinks he's going to experience the moment where he's going to stand in the doorway of his bedroom here and see it empty of all his things and then step out and close the door. Then he'll understand.
After the cafe we got dinner at an Italian restaurant. I was told not to order the pesto because it was being served with the wrong type of pasta, but did so anyway. Former Italian had a lot to say about everything, but she was impressed that the staff actually was Italian.
Afterwards we went and did a bucket list item, the red light district. I think I'm definitely more sex positive than anyone else I was there with, so I did keep pushing back when anyone would say something. I think it's very ironic that people will talk about sex work like it's the worst possible profession when there are lots of others that sell your body and I know for a fact they're watching porn or reading smut or (gasp!) willingly visiting the red light district. That isn't to say that it's simple or that there doesn't need to be better protections but into place, but wow have people not confronted the sex=bad mindset.
Along the street we passed the erotic muesem, and I suggested we go in. For only 8 euros, it was a steal. We ended up spending a good 2 hours in there looking at the collection. There were some really beautiful pieces of art and historical artifacts, as well as some things that were just silly. If I had another lifetime I would have loved to be a sex historian. I think its the perfect window into a society because it's always happening but people rarely want to talk about it. As silly as it is, the sketch an ancient Egyptian made of himself with a huge dick feels more human to me than the most elaborate tomb paintings.
We took a bunch of photos with the photo ops and spent some time watching some vintage sexual cartoons. The first one was in german so I translated for everyone, but honestly understanding the dialouge didn't help much.
Outside, authentic australian and I decided to buy some edibles. Inside the coffeeshop the guy behind the counter asked for former Italian and TCAs IDs, but said we were fine. I think it's because they looked more nervous coming in. Neither of them have tried weed before but they both said that they would try some. I found this extra funny because both of them had independently told me that they never wanted to. Even though we both told them that they didn't have to, and that it wouldn't be a problem or annoying. I wonder if it was being in Amsterdam, or something else. Former Italian took a nibble and authentic Italian and I split the rest. TCA had a nibble back at the hostel. We definitely didn't take enough because none of us felt anything so that was a shame, but maybe for the better because when we got back I was exhausted again. The key to being tired enough to go to bed really is walking a fuck ton.

I just thought of a angsty idea to fluff hopefully 💪🤠 but it only fits for albedo :p
Set for a highschool/college au I guess so basically Alebdo and his S/O is seen as a perfect couple in school but as a certain kinnie I am, it's more like the s/o is someone who has a nice and bubbly personality but in reality won't take any bs from anyone — albedo is all stressed and it's been building up recently and accidentally snaps at his s/o in front of a few people 😔 I'm someone who doesn't really have crushes often, even though I do get a lot of admirers. So I'd try to not give them up immediately after a small issue if I do like someone, not just relationship-wise. something I'm trying to fix the habit of ☹️
- 🦊
Sleepless love (Albedo x reader) College AU
[drabble?]
a/n: idk at this point man, also sorry for getting to you so late 🦊 anon! been feeling unmotivated as of late, maybe I'm getting writer's block oh no! anyways hope you enjoy this!
you and albedo were known as the "couple goals couple" on campus, with the way you acted around each other. it was as if you were made for each other, your sugary sweet relationship in public is enough to make any single person cry with envy.
you and albedo met in high school, so it's been a few years since you've known each other. after getting into the same university, you both have gotten much busier. Albedo especially with the workload he gets, so although you two are mostly seen together a lot in public, you never got the time to hang out too much.
which was why you decided to get some tickets to the amusement park that's been popular as of late, you knew albedo was stressed with the exams and projects coming his way. so by taking him to the park you both get to have a long-awaited date and get his mind off work.
"bedo! hey!" you shout to him as he exits the lecture room, he looks at you. his appearance is the most untidy you've seen him, hair barely in his signature braids, eye bags that were so dark it started to look unhealthy compared to his fair skin. basically, he looked like he was ready to die and pass out at the same time. "hey [name].." he said tiredly.
"oh bedo.. you don't look so good are you okay?", he smiles slightly and shakes his head "I'm ok love just tired is all", you looked at him in concern before you got excited again, "oh yeah! bedo I know you've been stressed lately so I got us some tickets to that popular amusement park I told you about last time!". you continued to chat excitedly about going to the park with him and how long it's been since your last date.
at this point, albedo has a painful headache and the loss of sleep is starting to get to him along with your nonstop chattering he feels like his head is about to split in half. unfortunately for him, it's been a stressful week and he feels like he's about to snap if you say another word about how excited you are for your date with him.
"[name] please can we-" his words were drowned out with your talk of what outfit you both should wear to match. and finally "[NAME], will you please just shut. up." he said glaring at you, "I don't care about this stupid date of yours and I don't have time for one either, can you please just leave me alone for once?!" even though he wasn't yelling it still felt like he was.
"Well excuse me for just trying to get you to relax for once!" you say "I just wanted us to spend some time together, it's been a long time and I know you've been stressed, so sorry for taking up your precious time when I just wanted help!" after that you turned and left. Your heart hurts from his words that made you feel like you were a burden.
albedo just sighed and decided to head back to his dorm to rest. after getting well rested he remembered his argument with you yesterday and he felt guilty for the way he treated you when you just wanted to help him relax. so he bought some snacks that you like and knocked on your dorm, it opened to show you.
you looked tired and your eyes were slightly red from crying, you glared at him "What do you want? aren't you supposed to be soo busy with your work right now?" you say. he flinched a bit but raised his hand with holds the bag of snacks. "I'm sorry for the way I talked to you yesterday I know you were just trying to help, I'm sorry for not spending time with you lately too", you soften your glare at him and took the bag.
you chuckled and kissed his cheek, "mm.. I know and I'm also sorry for being pushy about it, I just missed you." you say. He smiles and kisses you gently, "mm.. how about we just cuddle for today and watch a movie?" he says. you giggle and nod pulling him into your dorm, that night you both had a movie marathon until 3am oops...
hope you enjoy!

hi:) smooch anon is back:) for the price of 5💋$ may I request a fic on that ballet au + percy n keyleth with self worth issues thingy :,)?
but of course!
Even with all of their friends piled into Percy and Keyleth's small living room, it's not enough to keep the thoughts away. Her mom's been gone for ten years today. And such an anniversary means renewed public interest in the case, renewed interest in Vilya.
She's been called and emailed and written to so many times the past month by journalists scrambling for an interview, wanting to bring up all of her trauma for the curious eyes of the public. And with that are the videos. So so many videos of Vilya dancing. So many videos comparing Keyleth to her mother. Videos that show Keyleth will never be up to the standard her mother was. Is.
So even though all her friends are sleeping over to keep her company and take care of her, she finds herself slipping out onto the fire escape in the middle of the night. Below are the lights of the city, cars honking and people talking and laughing loudly. So far above them, Keyleth lets herself feel awful.
Her phone screen is illuminated by an article, the worst one she's seen so far. It tells about Keyleth's ballet career alongside Vilya's, it shows her in immense detail how much of a failure she is. At 24, Vilya was well on her way to be a prima ballerina. And Keyleth...she's barely a principal.
Tears cloud her vision, so much so that she can't read the article anymore and maybe that's for the best. However, her thoughts are interrupted when the window beside her slides open and Percy climbs out onto the fire escape beside her.
He says nothing as he sits down on the steps, a few above her and gently touches her shoulder, pushing her so that she's leaning against him. Keyleth goes easily, laying her head on his thigh.
His warm hand falls to her back, his thumb running along the bumps of her spine soothingly. He doesn't speak so neither does she, they just sit in the sounds of their city, a place neither of them come from but both of them made their home.
Keyleth doesn't know how long they sit like that before she can't take the silence anymore. Percy is one of the few people who understands, like her, his life was thrust into the spotlight by tragedy.
Keyleth swallows heavily before asking, "Do you think my mom is disappointed in me?"
Percy's hand stills on her back for a moment before resuming, "I don't think there's a world in the universe in which she would be." She sits up, looking at him with bloodshot, confused eyes. "You are a principal ballerina in the company, you are so kind and loving and a truly wonderful baker." Keyleth chuckles as she wipes her eyes. "I'm serious, Keyleth, your mother would be so proud of you."
"I hope she is," Keyleth says softly. "Everything that I am is because of her."
"No it isn't." Percy smiles sadly, "It's because of you. You moved to Emon, you spend hours outside of rehearsals practicing, you did you time in the corps, you got yourself to where you are. Not your mother and not your father, you. Never forget that."
Keyleth cuts him off by throwing her arms around him, hugging him close. He hugs her back, closing his eyes as he tips his head against hers in silent comfort. That's the last they speak for a while, Keyleth lays her head back in his lap.
And when she's ready to go back inside, taking her place once more between Vax and Grog in the middle of the carpet, Percy stays awake. He waits until she's asleep, snoring softly against Vax's chest before he settles down beside Vex and allows himself to sleep.

Tumblr media
guess fucking what? my inbox is so fucking full right now i'm unloading all of this shit in one post.
For the 11th gotham memes: gothamites react to bruce being jacked in a tiktok he made with kids, like super yoked, ripped as hell
fucking hilarious thanks. i think i did it in one meme post, but i genuinely don't remember which one
i dunno which of the batfam would do this but one time i was sleeping over at a friends house and ended up on the floor bc the bed was so very small and i just stayed there because the rug was soft
that's a drunk jason move i don't know what to tell you
tim and jason are "i listen to pop punk" solidarity. whenever jason highjacks the batmobile theyll go on long ass car rides blaring mcr and paramore and then never talk about it again
as they should!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tim: no jason it's my turn using the aux cord i gotta put on my jams jason: don't you dare put on weird shit tim: don't worry, you're gonna love this *plays fearless (taylor's version)
hear me out hear me out, red hood stans 🤝 nightwing stans t h i g h s
holy shit yes.
SNL au: Bruce breaks character when pretending to superman and says something like "I'm not superman! You've seen his gps!! It's from 2001!!!" @sabeanybabe
superman flies past the snl building the next day just to say 'actually it's from 2005, i'm not a heathen'
does your back hurt from carrying the batfam fandom
it hurts more from the exotic rock collection i keep in my backpack, but thanks for the concern.
I love your posts by why would you always leave the best parts in the tags?
as a treat for the people that check the tags ;) (and also because i'm committed to the short post aesthetic)
somehow your playlist was everything i never knew i needed. i mean it. this is my new favorite playlist.
and don't you dare get a new favourite playlist!
babe ur stoner tim playlist is exactly too perfect, earth is literally blessed by ur existence
babe thanks so much! i love my stoner tim playlist because it's just my usual playlist but people think it's an artistic choice that i put taylor swift and britney spears in there, when it's just what i unironically like listening to
JANDKSKDK BILLY RAY CYRUS ON THE STONER TIM PLAYLIST I LOVE IT IT
again it's not even an ironic choice, i know every single word and i genuinely like the song
The last chapter of Fundamentals of Casework has me crying at work. Thanks I love it @dudelookitsalesbian
oh babe, i'm sorry, but also, not sorry i love chapter 4 so much it's my lovechild with the 'mental illness' tag
soooo....stumbled on your tumblr by some stroke of fate??? read your DC fanfic first. which is PHENOMENAL btw. then found all the batmemes; the funniest thing EVER bc everyone forgets about regular old gothamites. kept scrolling and your blog pops up as recommended. clicked on the ao3 for shits and giggles and waddaya know?!?!? it's YOU!!! you're LEGEND!!!! ever seen that meme? it's a video of a cat that got into a baseball field and the two announcers get really invested in his escape attempt and start giving a play by play of the cat instead of the game. memeable moment: "GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!"
i seriously think about this ask every single day and it's so fucking funny to me that i've never seen the meme you're referencing, but i still find myself going 'GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!' whenever i see something funny. but wow i'm glad you liked this steaming pile of garbage
Fav dc character overall? And fav batfamily character?
don't ask me to pick between the loves of my life, but i can tell you i've cried about every single batfamily member and also wally west (my beloved)
What's your opinion on fans having a problem with batfam being "too big"? And some even claim that batfam is just "Bruce Alfred Dick Damian" and the rest of them are just "friends and allies" (source: reddit) Personally, I like batfam because of this reason but idk
stupid. a family can never be too big. i'm not that big a fan of like huge batfam stuff with everybody from every single universe, because as much as it's funny for bruce to have like 30 kids, it just feels a little too OOC for me.
This is the best tag I've seen involving the batfam, thanks for thinking of it

This is canon now @nctxrejects
lmao yeah i think at that point alfred has had to sit through like at least a dozen coming out talks and just has a pride flag collection in the attic that he pulls out whenever a kid comes out
idk why batfam hits different as compared to any other superhero family
bc it's found family and usually the other superhero families are almost all genetically related in one way or another
I don't know if you watch the umbrella academy but I saw your last post about batcest and saw the similarities. But the thing is (although I think it's weird) in TUA, they addressed it by saying "they were raised as weapons, not siblings" or something along those lines, which is simply not the case with batfam.
yeah i watched tua but i also thought it was ridiculous and they still treated each other as siblings so i didn't like the luthor/allison thing, and am glad they stopped doing that shit bc it fucking sucked.
Hot take: Batcest shippers are the same people who believe adopted siblings are not actual siblings
smoking hot take: batcest shippers are the people who watch 'my sister got stuck in the washing machine' porn
Duke was adopted by Bruce?
not technically no, but do i, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb, look like i care?
True story but I had to change my freaking name because it used to be "Damien" and most people would go "OH LIKE DAMIAN WAYNE" like please I'm just tryna live
true story, but i don't actually think of damian when i hear the name damian, literally the first thing that pops up is damian darkh like bruh what?
apparently dc comics company supported comic stores by giving out new titles and stuff during the beginning of the pandemic to help them run and I just think that's wholesome
ah yeah that's so fucking cool, still don't like dc, the company, because this world is a capitalist hellhole and we're all owned by warner brothers or disney with no in between.
ayo looking at tumblr head canons and finding out bruce is actually a terrible father is a punch in the gut
lmao yes, in like 50% of comics bruce is a terrible father and it gives me whiplash
oooh I just saw the jason todd vs winter soldier post and the real question is: batman vs iron man
while iron man has like hundreds of cases of armor, batman could throw out an emp and have the guy dropping out of the sky in 2 seconds.
dickfast = fastdick = quickdick = quickie
magnum hot take
hey bata(?) just thought I'd let you know I have copied the obnoxious emoji and Billy Ray post for use on simping men going forth
thank you 😘🌷 (@spacebarsidecar)
why would you do that to your followers???? i get why i did it, but why would you???
what is scarecrow made the nightwing funko pop himself, like those diy-ers that paint over other ones
oh god no, horrible take, horrible take, that's a disgusting thought oh no
I see your HC that Bruce and Oliver fucked and raise you this: Dick and Roy ALSO fucked
yes they did and it was a horrible moment for jason to find out dick has fucked both of his best friends
"at this rate bruce adds like 1 child to his family every decade or so" Duke is introduced in 2013, Damian as Damian, not as an unnamed child, in 2006. And he is already 14 years old, Robins rarely remain Robins after 16 😬 It looks like a new Robin and Batkid will appear in a couple of years
i mean i can't wait? but somebody will probably die first tho, we're due for another major character death. my money's on either cass or duke this time.
BRO you're so right all of your Bruce's ex headcanons are amazing but they aren't ships, that's kinda wild. Like I don't want any peeks into how their relationship was I just want to see everyone make fun of them
lmao YES it's just i love bruce being a slut, like good for him.
I am in love with your posts your honour thank you
omg thanks are we like,, gonna kiss now?
The justice league needs to have a meeting to discuss how many of their members/partners have slept with bruce. Because through a combination of cannon & fannon (if DC wasn’t homophobic) we have AT LEAST: 1) clark 2) lois 3) oliver 4) dinah 5) john
Thats not counting villains or random civilians @dudelookitsalesbian
yes yes yes, they'll have a yearly meeting about how many of their collective exes could be out for revenge and batman's list just keeps getting longer.
tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.
and what about it?
when steph's fighting livewire and she zaps her with lighting and nothing happens and then they both just. stand there awkwardly for a second and talk. yeah i couldn't stop laughing at that batgirl steph is the BEST
oh yeah that was fucking hilarious and i think it would be so cool and sexy of dc to give steph a little comic series,,, as a treat
Hi I absolutely adore all of yours "Bruce and Oliver very badly pretending they didn't fuck each other" memes
lmao i do too
I need you to know that “Bruce Wayne had frosted tips” is one of my favorite Bruce takes of all time it’s so galaxy brained. you’re right and you should say it
he also painted his hair blonde once when he was travelling and in conclusion, this is why he's being blackmailed by the gotham gazette.
you know my thing about gordon being branded as the only good cop in gotham is its a load of shit like arguably he's a good person and not working to screw people over or anything but the fact that he also works w. batman makes him a shit cop. like yea batman is better than the mob but its still illegal its still an abuse of power he just not making bank
babe, all cops are bad cops. (but yeah youre absolutely right, working with vigilantes makes you a shit cop, but also working against vigilantes just makes you an asshole cop yanno?)
ruh roh i think i’m about to add “so not yeehaw” every time i don’t like something
that's a very good vocabulary upgrade
somehow i feel like steph already knew. like babs obviously knew but i feel like bruce got high/drunk in front of steph and started telling his boarding school stories and steph was just like “oh you fucked up i’m never gonna forget this”
steph and bruce have weird uncle/rebellious niece dynamic and they just hang out sometimes and bruce will be like 'i once broke my arm when i tripped over a hedge when i was drunk so oliver drove me to the hospital on an electric scooter' and steph will just have to sit there with that knowledge in her head.
Hello I just wanted to tell you you are So right in all your steph opinions bc she is, in fact amazing and I think that's very sexy of you. Ps. Your Bruce/Oliver fic is hilarious
babe, thank you so much and yes steph is amazing and i love her and she deserves the world and she's the best member of the batfam hands down. also thanks
In Supersons we see a couple of kids that are implied to be Damian and Jon's children and the boy has laser eyes and can fly, so I asume he's not adopted. The girl, who calls Bruce grandpa, can also fly, btw. So it's canon (probably by accident) that Jon can have kids and he must have married one of Bruce's kids. (I'm hoping for Damian, mostly because any other of his children would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay too old.) @artemisa97
lmao that was probably an accident seeing as jon is a 17 year old superhero in the year 3000 (by the jonas brothers)
You know, I'm a die hard fan of your memes, but I gotta say one thing: if Gothamites actually took gas mask everywhere with them, then the Scarecrow would just be a weird dude in a weird costume, and not a villain oh so scary. DC really should just takes notes from you.
bold of you to assume there's no gothamite anti-maskers
How does it feel being the funniest person on this app?
horrible, next question.
I can't listen to Green Day or Billy Joel without thinking of your post about how Bruce got arrested at a Billy Joel concert @nightwings-kid
yeah that's your mistake, i on the other hand can't enjoy billy joel without thinking about the glee rendition of 'uptown girl'
I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.
superman: so what do you do in your free time? batman, thinking about the superman fanfiction he's writing on the batcomputer: i have no free time
bruce and oliver be like boyfriends to co-workers 401k (do the justice leagues get 401ks??? not that bruce and ollie would need them, but-)
lmao yes just 400 thousand words of bruce realising 'oh dip oliver is such a fucking dumbass' (also i don't know what a 401 k is but i assume they don't?)
Gothamites would totally boo superman as he saves Gotham while batman is out. @meenje
he's like 'okay think about that next time you want to be saved from an alien octopus'
I just took long break from dc comics and I come back to see ric grayson ??
i think it's very cool and sexy of dc to see dick and just think 'you know what? let's just give him a traumatic brain injury' and then didn't develop his character in any real way
SPEAKING OF RIC GRAYSON, gothamites making confused memes out of ric grayson is much needed
'dick grayson is my taxi driver? can anyone explain what the fuck happened he looks like an italian plumber?'
i hate to say it but batfam are def "marvel characters" in that sense they are characters who are human but become superheroes unlike most dc characters who are gods trying to be human maybe this is why I like batfam
fair enough

So, who’s @ADabOfBlessings to you? (same Anon that asked her 😂)
Who's @adabofblessings to me???
She's the reason for my grey hairs!!! I swear, since I started talking with Dabby in, like, January, I've been noticing grey hairs on my head. The good thing is – I'm blonde, so those hairs are barely visible and they don't bother me anyway BUT STILL. THEY'RE HERE. GO TO SLEEP YOU UNHOLY–
She's also the reason for my sleep deprivation!!! (joking, i'm the reason myself) Because of the time gap, when I go to sleep, it's before midnight for her, so ya know... There are times when I stay awake until 4am because we're so invested in some other cracky AU we've been thinking about and we just keep going. Until I fall asleep with my phone in my hand lmao
She's the reason for my heart being broken! You think I am the angsty one??? You should see our chat and see how many times I send "dabBY NO–" and how many times she sends "no-" or "...". It can't be compared. She's living thanks to angst. I'm just enjoying it.
She's the reason for, like, 40% of my fics. She has some really good and interesting ideas and I used them many times (mostly the works I gifted to her are ones I wrote thanks to her). But also! When I share ideas, Dabby is here to suggest how to develop them or we just make up the scenes that I often use or rephrase somehow to fit in my fic, but well, she gives me inspiration.
She's the reason for my Encanto brainrot still going on lol. It's impossible to not love Encanto anymore when we share so many ideas about it. When we have so many AUs (many of them will never be written), when we still love the characters and the film itself so much.
She's also the reason why I grew to love co-writing. It's such a nice way to create a story when you have someone that can help you, guide you, give some bit of advice, tell you what's wrong and what can you do to make it better. I also love that we got to share the experience that is TFATR with each other and with you. We're very proud of our story, and very glad you love it too.
But also. Dabby is an amazing writer and my internet friend. Even if we don't talk about Encanto or ways to hurt Julieta even more, we still have things to talk about and it's amazing! I enjoy our conversations and how our minds seem to work exactly the same way in some moments, when we literally send the same thing to each other XD we share one brain cell and I'm glad it's Dabby that I have to share it with!
Dabby always says she can't into crack and into humour fics but she's so wrong!!! I have laughed out loud at so many things or stupid dialogues or stupid ideas she wrote that I KNOW there's a crack potential there. Just like there's an angsty potential as well. It just has to be discovered! (u can try encouraging her, hehehe)
I'll be entirely glad that Dabby stands my CRINGY SIDE. Because I'm cheesy and corny and cringy as hell sometimes, and she doesn't mind at all! So I can pour any stupid idea I have and I'll be listened to. AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING I RESPECC ABOUT THIS HUMAN BEING.
She also loves cats. This is the reason enough to like her, love her, worship her. THANK YOU!
ALSO.
ME AND DABBY: *hurt Julieta*
ALL OF YOU:

Overwhelmed
Who: Geto Suguru x GN! Reader
Warnings: Comfort. Slightly reckless driving. Light angst? Grammatical Errors. A tiny, tiny, TINY spoiler.
A/N: This is inspired by true events. Unloading is not easy, and we get so wrapped up trying to ignore that it's okay to be vulnerable. It's okay to cry when you don't know the reason and seek comfort from the person you trust the most.
Summary: You have to be fine, not for everyone's sake but for yourself. So, why after tonight's event, you find yourself crying and conflicted to call for help. Though someone notices your behavior and does not hesitate to be there for you.
Muffled voices surrounded you, but strangely enough, you can hear what they are saying. You laugh when everyone does, you answer when someone asks you things, but behind that smile, you were lost. It was like if your body was on autopilot.
You look at your watch, and it was getting late. "I'm sure everyone still wants to hear how great you are, but we have students to teach early tomorrow," you got up from your seat.
"Oh, come on, Y/N! Don't be a party pooper. I'm sure we can still hang a couple more minutes," Gojo pleaded.
You shook your head and gave an apologetic smile to the waitress who has been waiting to clean the table.
"They're right, Gojo. Can't you see it's time to close! Plus, we see each other every day." The black hair man scolded the pouting white-haired man.
Gojo pouted and got up, "You three go ahead. I'll pay for our meal."
Shoko was already walking ahead and pulling out her smokes. Geto walked a bit further but noticed how you were walking slow and looking at your surroundings. It was as if you were trying to distract yourself.
He opened the door and hold it for you.
"Hey, are you okay?" He stood next to you as you took your keys out of your pocket.
You scrunched your eyebrows, "Yeah, why wouldn't I be."
He shrugged, "Just asking." Though he knew that you were lying but didn't push anymore.
The four of you came in separate cars, but Gojo and Geto came together.
"Ah! I guess he's up to his antics again," You pointed at the window.
Shoko and Geto looked in your pointed direction. They see Gojo flirting with the young waitress. The three of you sigh, and Shoko decided to go back in to drag Gojo away from the poor woman.
You yawned and stretch out your limbs.
Geto chuckled, "I guess you should head out before you fall asleep here."
You hummed in agreement.
"Come on. I'll walk you to your car." He nodded towards where your car is parked.
As the two of you were walking, you were questioning if you should ask him if he wants to go with you, but your automated brain wasn't letting you.
Geto could have asked you if he could go with you, but he knew that something was going on with you, and you needed some space. Though that didn't stop him from worrying.
You got in your car. Before Geto closed the door for you, he stared at you.
"Umm, Sugu?" You asked nervously. Squirming at his intense gaze.
He shook his head, "Sorry! Are you sure you able to drive? I know you struggle driving at night." He wanted to stall, anything to be by your side.
You gave a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine! The campus is close by. I can make it! Besides, you have me in find friends. So, if anything, just look where I am at."
That's the thing he doesn't want to resort to that. He wants to believe that you'll be fine, but his gut is warning him that he should be with you.
He nodded, agreeing with your last statement, "Please drive safe then. Text me once you're close by."
He lets you close the door, his eyes not leaving your car as it drives away.
*******
A shaky breath leaves your trembling lips, and in a millisecond, a sob came afterward.
You were driving to an intersection, and it's your turn to make a stop. You were about to make a left, but your head wasn't letting you think straight. You were so caught up sobbing that you didn't properly look at both sides and almost hit a car.
"Clear your head, Y/N. You can't drive like this. Clear. Your. Head." You took a couple of deep breaths. Once the road was clear, you made the left turn, but you started to sob again. Your "Clear Mind" mantra was working-ish, but the tears weren't stopping.
Stopping at a traffic light, you started to rant, "You we-were never in m-my life, and you have the au-audacity to talk shit about m-me?! W-who do y-you t-think you are to say...to say th-that I've never done any-anything to p-prove that I can l-lead the c-clan. T-that I'm not smart en-enough to lead. I'm a t-teacher for fuck sakes!!!"
Your eyes glance at the light. The traffic light taking its time to turn green.
"Uncle, y-you are in-in no position to-to say that-that I'm n-not worthy of the title. B-because I am w-worthy!!!! I-I don't have sons w-who kno-knocked up and ha-have di-different baby mommas!!!! Plus, I ca-can destroy your weak ass sons!!!"
You reach to turn up the music. The back of your head wanted to deny this action, telling you that you need to let everything out. Though you just wanted to block your thoughts.
When your sibling found out about it and told you, it didn't hit like right now. In fact, you laughed and said that your uncle's sons didn't have anything compared to you. The elders in your clan already confirm that you were next in line to lead your clan. So, why is something like what your uncle said affecting you?
Shouldn't you be crying over your work? That there were innocent people you couldn't save, and their families blame you.
From taking your students to missions, making sure they survived, making sure the elders didn't touch one of Gojo's students, preparing to become the new clan leader, training to perfect your domain expansion, to go on solo missions. It was an endless cycle, but why are you crying for a small comment?
Could it be that you're just overwhelmed? That this is your body trying to unload?
Your thoughts were all over the place, and the music wasn't helping. The light turned green, but soon the road lights were fading, making it harder for you to drive.
"I can't drive like this," You let out a shaky breath. "What s-should I do?" You hiccupped.
You slowly pulled to the side of the road and parked your car. When you thought you had calm down, another wave of sobs burst out of your lips. Before you know it, you screamed, and punch the steering wheel trying to let go of your frustrations.
Minutes turned to an hour, and you were dozing off. Would it be a bad idea to sleep on the road for the night? Then again, you'll have to explain to Suguru why you haven't come home yet.
You didn't want to bother anyone, especially at this hour. You've learned that dealing with these emotions was best because who could understand you better than yourself?
Although...
You have friends who trust you with their vulnerability, but do you trust them with yours?
What's the point of having friends if you can't be real with them?
Aren't you the type of person friends come for comfort?
For once, don't you want someone to comfort you?
Lowering the music volume. Your phone was in your hand, and unconsciously you dial Geto. Biting your lip, you immediately cancel the call. You feared what he'll think or that he can't be there for you.
The ring from your phone startled you, he called you back.
You cleared your throat and swallowed a chunk of saliva. Hoping he wouldn't notice your broken voice.
"Hello?"
"Unlock your door." That was all he said before he hanged up.
You looked around your surroundings and saw a dark outline of a car parked behind you. A figure walked towards your door, and thanks to the moonlight, you were able to see that it was Suguru.
When he opened the door, your lips quivered, and another wave of tears streams down your cheeks.
"S-Sugu I-" You wanted to ask how or why, but he didn't give you a chance.
He leans towards you and unbuckles your seatbelt.
"I going to pick you up and put you in the back, okay?" His face was inches from yours.
You nodded and hiccupped.
He leaves for a second to open the back door and comes back, picking you up gently.
After he places you gently on the back seat, a voice comes from the direction of the other car.
"Are they alright?!" they yelled, worry hidden in their voice.
Geto pulls back and wipes some of your tears away, "I'll be back."
You didn't want him to leave; his warmth made you feel safe.
It felt like an eternity for Suguru to come back, but then you saw the headlights from the other car turned on and drove off.
You hiccupped, and the tears never seemed to end.
"Sorry if I took long. Mind if you scoot over." He said softly.
Your mind was back to autopilot and did what was commanded.
The two of you sat there uncomfortable. Geto did not know if it's okay to pull you into a hug, but he decided to do it. He makes you sit on his thighs, chest against chest, and he then pushes your face towards his neck. One arm is wrapped around your waist, while the other one is rubbing your back.
"It's okay to cry. But for once, let me hold you and soothe your raging thoughts, just like you've done for me. Let me be your shoulder for you to cry on, trust me with your vulnerability," he pleaded and hold you tighter.
You wanted to push him away, but instead, your hands reached to grip his shirt. You gritted your teeth and let out another sob. Suguru didn't stop rubbing your back and kept giving soothing words.
This craving that was starting to build, you didn't want it to end. You never thought that being wrapped in someone's arm can be so warm and slightly refreshing.
"Whenever you feel ready to talk, I'll be here with you. It doesn't matter if it's something small or silly; your feelings are important. Don't think that I'll judge you because I won't," he reassured you.
It took you a while to gain some of your composure back, but you manage to regain some strength. A shaky breath left your lips, and you pull back from his warmth. His hand reaches your cheeks and wipes away your tears. You were able to hold eye contact with him, and his gentle smile makes you feel at ease.
"Sorry for making a-a mess on your sh-shoulder," you reached to pat dry the wetness.
He grabs your hand and intertwines it with his, "It's okay." While the other one is still wiping your rebel tears.
"Umm, I'm-I'm sorry." You mumbled and looked behind him. Finding the passing cars interesting.
He knew why you were apologizing for and clenched his jaw. "There's nothing to be sorry... Look at me."
You hesitated, but he gently grabs your chin and pulls your attention back to him.
"I want to be here with you. For you." He squeezes your hand. "Remember when I was pushing everyone away, but you were able to see through me?"
You nodded.
"I didn't know I needed someone until you came, and you told me that it's okay to feel the way I was feeling. So, what did you do?" He said a bit humorously.
You smiled at the memory.
"You made it your mission to pull me out of that hole."
"I did it because I care," you unknowingly whispered.
He squeezed your hand, "Exactly! And guess what? I care about you too."
That word care, it was still foreign to you. Strange, huh? You care about others but have a hard time believing when others say they care about you. Maybe it was because people have let you down when you needed their comfort. Or chose to ignore your cries for help.
Yet, here's this man giving you warmth and comfort. Something that you have been craving for too long. It was still foreign for you, but your craving wasn't going to deny it.
When his hands cradled your face, your cheeks flared up. This type of intimacy was a bit too much, but you welcomed it. Finally, realizing Suguru is being genuine and not acting.
Tears started to stream down, and you leaned to hug him. The man didn't hesitate to hug back.
"I hope those are happy tears."
Tumblr media
BRB I going to go cry now. Ps. I made it home safely.

F/O Ask Game - Sonia and Gundham
Very excited to introduce my new F/Os Sonia Nevermind and Gundham Tanaka from Dangonranpa 2 (and to a lesser extent, my new S/I for this AU, the cooler version of me, Damien)
Based off this ask game:
❤️  [HEART]- What did the confession look like between you two? Who initiated it? Where did it take place?
Long story! Gonna bookmark this to write a story of!
💋 [KISS]- What love language does your F/O have? What about you? And how do y’all express it to each other?
Sonia would probably be giving and receiving gifts… she's not materialistic or anything but she does come from, you know, money and particularly likes to give gifts. She also is a great cook, and quite crafty, so those gifts aren't always purchased but are often made. Gundham and I often try and give her and make her gifts and it's often a disaster but she's so sweet and appreciative of it always. 
Gundham's love language would be quality time, I think, he doesn't connect with many people so the people he does connect with he likes to really foster that connection. Which means lots of group dates! 
My love language is acts of service, receiving and giving. I tend to get overwhelmed with stuff so if Sonia and Gundham chip in and do stuff for me once in a while if I'm too busy it's always nice. Also, if i see something that needs doing, I like to do it for them as well. 
🌹 [ROSE]- What flowers (or plants in general) would you compare your F/O to? 
Honestly as corny as it sounds, Sonia would be a rose. White rose. She's real pretty, but she's also tough like the rose's thorns, and uses those thorns to protect those she loves. 
Gundham… Black dahlia
💄 [LIP STICK]- What’s your favorite kind of date to go on with your F/O? Or what’s their favorite kind of date to go on with you?
Any date hehe as long as we're together. It is nice going on one on one dates sometimes but if we're talking about our favourite kind, we're all together. Probably going to like a nice park, climbing trees, messing around, going to a market and buying crystals, getting ice cream, etc..
🎃 [PUMPKIN]- What’s your favorite holiday to celebrate with your F/O? Or, what’s their favorite holiday to celebrate with you?
Halloween obviously!
🐹 [HAMSTER]- Do you and your F/O have a pet? If not, what pet would you like to have with them, or why wouldn’t you want a pet at all?
Hehe yes 4 hamsters - Sun-D, Maga-G, Jum-P, and Cham-P - as well as our cute little Pomeranian puppy, Snowy, hehe
Tumblr media
🍯 [HONEY]- What flavors or scents do you associate with your F/O? Or, what flavors/scents would they associate with you?
Hmm… Sonia smells literally like roses… smell associations for Gundham is that smell when rain is about to fall? And also, if you ever smell something that's clean and fluffy, and it sort of smells like something but also smells like nothing at the same time, that's Gundham. 
🌟 [STAR]- How do you and your F/O prepare for bedtime? Do you stay up watching TV until you fall asleep? Do you cuddle endlessly? Etc?
Either do a shared activity or we are all just chilling and calming down before going to bed doing our own thing. We all eventually climb into our specially designed polyamory bed, that has curtains around the framing very fancy, and we all cuddle pile until we sleep. 
🍃 [LEAVES]- What’s your favorite season to go on walks with your F/O? Why?
Autumn because the leaves falling and it's cold and very aesthetic. 
👖 [JEANS]- Do you ever wear your F/O’s clothes? How does it feel when you do, and have they caught you doing it before?
I don't really steal Sonia's clothes hehe I occasionally steal her bow if I'm feeling more feminine and she is always VERY excited and gushes over how pretty I am hehe. Gundham though, I steal his clothes more often, either his scarf or his coat. He tends to be a bit grumbly about it, but I don't think he minds, because he never asks for it back and he always blushes when he sees it.
🫐 [BLUEBERRIES]- What aesthetic do you associate with your F/O (or your general dynamic with them)?
Gothic witchcraft with a healthy spoonful of stupid decisions
👾 [SPACE INVADERS]- Do you play games with your F/O (board games, video games, other games)? If so, what do you play, and how do those playing sessions go?
Yes! Gundham is awful at video games but he always has fun, Sonia can get very competitive in combat based games. We love playing animal crossing together - our vision of the island lines up quite well, and so we don't have to argue much about it hehe. It's really fun just relaxing and playing together. We also play board games sometimes! Usually when there's a power outage though haha.
🔮 [CRYSTAL BALL]- What’s your dream future with you and your F/O (for example, where do you wanna live? would you like kids)? Think of this question as explaining your ideal happily-ever-after with them!
Living in either an absurd gothic castle or a rustic little cottage that isn't far from the markets. 
☔️ [UMBRELLA]- What do you and your F/O do when you’re trapped in rainy weather?
Animal crossing if the powers on, cuddling, reading to each other, playing board games, giving our pets an extra amount of attention!

summary: no one's evil au lmfaooo but make it pt. 2
character/s: anastacius de alger obelia, claude de alger obelia, athanasia de alger obelia, jennette de alger obelia
and here's part 1 <3
oh my god okay. okay. so.
ana, claude, athy and jennette - they go on a LOT of vacations
claude complains every single time but anastacius pulls his trump card and sends athy and jettie BOTH after him
u think he's strong enough to say no after that? lmao jokes
and their vacations always go this way:
jennette: isn't this scenery just gorgeous, uncle
claude: indeed it is. and...quiet
jennette: ...too quiet
[cut to anastacius in the distance, fighting a bear as athy cheers him on]
athy + anastacius, hands down the most chaotic pairing yes i will not be taking criticism
they have tea in ana's palace everyday, just the two of them, they're so poised and picture perfect through the entire thing everyone thinks it's just the emperor giving profound advice to his heir
it's actually them deadass scheming,,, ana has no qualms discussing everything from court gossip to military tactics, both of which she's so on top of all the time
if anyone shit talks jennette or claude, this tea party is where their slow and agonizing demise is planned out to the dot
[true story - count sivan once made the fatal mistake of expressing his favour for athy as the next empress, dissing jennette by comparing her to athy sm which inevitably sparked a debate that ranked the princesses. a week after athy's sources informed her of the kindling behind this new debate, the count's sudden divorce became the talk of the town, and the man's business faced bankruptcy all of a sudden. the sivans still haven't recovered.)
athy n jennette were actually allowed to visit kiel in arlanta a few times, except it was too dark at their first arrival, postponing the meeting to the next morning
buttt then jettie can't sleep and she decides on a midnight snack run (their hotel doesn't really have the maids the palace does, but oh well. she's left the palace w lucas n athy plenty of times)
felix tags along btw, he knows this trip is important to the girls since they're leaving the palace without their Overprotective Papas™ for the first time and want some sense of independence, but... she's just so smol n he couldn't bear it if anything happens so he just shadows her
she totally knows he's there
n e ways so there's a juice place right beside their hotel which she aims for, but when jennette reaches it, it's closed
and out of nowhere, a voice addresses her - "hey you, do you come here a lot?" she nearly jumps out of her skin at the brunette, relaxing when she sees he's literally a kid around her age and not a murderer lmfaoo "me neither," he continues without waiting for her, pouting at the closed sign, before he asks for her name and whether she's new in arlanta
she confirms that yes, she's only visiting, and refuses to tell the stranger her name, still feeling strange at being addressed as 'you' for the first time (well, minus lucas, but he was like her brother and had the emotional capacity of a teaspoon, so)
he eyes her. "you're so weird. i've never seen a girl out so late before, and alone too. are you stupid?"
(felix has his sword out at this point)
she's flushing now and has no idea why she's still out here, but then this stranger kid apparently senses her mood and tells her the best ice cream store in arlanta is not too far away
(he also explains he knows someone who's starts doing weird things when she's hungry as well, and tries to defend that ice cream is actually a healthy midnight snack, "you can just take a healthy flavour like strawberry or mango, mangos are healthy,,right"💀️💀)
so jettie has travelled all the way from obelia, she loves her papa but he would have a heart attack if he found out she was ever awake this late?? yeah bc she's never getting this chance again, jennette accepts the offer
the stranger boy seems to be taking the whole "i'm not telling you my name," thing like a joke, and asks what he should call her since 'you' was getting boring
she goes with "lady j" and like a knight, the boy becomes "sir c"
(felix is on the verge of committing a crime - the princesses can only have one knight, after all)
they walk as the the boy navigates the streets in the dark, and she asks whether he's from the academy, seeing his uniform
"of course i am! you could probably tell bc i look so smart, right?"
she snorts. "yeah, that."
she also comes to know that this guy,,,well he might as well be a tourist? she's out here asking stuff like "oh where's the statue of lady alphia?" or "aren't we really close to the museum where they keep the first emperor's sword?" and he goes "lady do i look like your brochure?? but if you turn right from here there's a cool arcade and across the street from there is the best street food vendor you'll ever eat from."
well at least mans had his priorities straight 😌
"so can you take this off?" he asks, pointing towards her dress once they've neared the store
um???????? sir tf????????????
anyways jettie has been living with lucas n her dad farr too long to not take this the wrong way?? "...no?"
the boy raises an eyebrow "look, it looks like an expensive cloak but i promise i'll return it, alright? i gotta hide my uniform."
ohhhhhhh. 😳.
so she unfastens the cloak and because he's kinda just staring at it cluelessly (he can't even tie his shoelaces fight me), jennette sighs and moves the clothing over his shoulder, fastening it in place at his neck
he's literally a tomato when she looks back up and realises that yes, we are way too close rn
bc she's ana's daughter, jennette by default cannot function when she's flustered. so she kinda stumbles backwards like a fish out of water (years of princess training n etiquette? where art thou??) and 'sir c' has to grab her forearm so she doesn't bump into the pillar behind her smfh
the shopkeep is definitely suspicious of this pair that's definitely too young to be out so late, but chalks it down to his sleeplessness
they escape the store with the ice cream before the shopkeep can ask any questions, and 'sir c' escorts jennette back to her hotel. he climbs onto the roof of the building, helping her up as well
(felix wishes he had a magic stone to capture this moment, this is the first time he's seen jennette become such fast friends with someone)
she stands on the roof (it hurts her butt so she doesn't wanna sit)
"my sister would be so jealous right now," jennette murmurs, "she told me her ideal first date would be either a picnic or something like a moonlit walk. we're having like a moonlit picnic."
it's silent for a few seconds the boy speaks up, "is this a date?"
oh-
oh.
"i mean- i didn't- i don't- uh."
give her some time lmfao she's loading
"i don't really mind that," he tells her, and she thinks she might just walk off the roof in her embarrassment - who just says something like that?? "you're probably feeling really lucky right now, right?"
jennette: ✊😔
he does look pretty in the moonlight, she admits to herself, listening as he excitedly tells her about his siblings at home and how she should send an offering to the gods since they gave her the good fortune to be on a date with the most good looking one of all four of them
in turn, she tells him about how she spent her childhood away from her amazing dad and had gotten closer to him recently, about her sharp-witted uncle, her sister and friends
(the 'friends' section includes felix and he's melting)
she smiles - it's almost as if, at finding out he treasures his family just as much as she does, they've gotten a bit closer
and he tries to listen. jennette had guessed that his temperament was somewhat like her dad's - her dad didn't know how to listen, always making his opinion known before anything else, though she supposes as emperor he could do that
'sir c', on the other hand, tried his best, his blue eyes focused on her as he almost burst from the unsaid words he was holding back, trying to let her finish. the sight was an odd mix of sad and insanely adorable that she couldn't help but let him tell her about everything he couldn't hold in
sensing she could pass out from her exhaustion nearly half an hour later, and 'sir c' escorts her to her window and helps her sneak in bc "what sort of knight would i be otherwise?!"
(felix can't stop shaking the entire night)
the next morning, jennette's heart is pounding as kiel shows her, athy and felix across campus - the chance is low, but still...
"ezekiel!" comes a voice, and the four watch as a turquoise haired boy waves down the alpheus heir "are these the guests you mentioned?"
kiel introduces the trio to johannes vastia before asking, "where's cabel?"
"at the training grounds, he asked if you could bring everyone there so he could show them around there."
"... they're my guests though?"
athy is quick to befriend johannes (i mean she and his sister are practically the same person, so) and at the grounds, jennette's blood runs cold
(so does felix's)
the brunette doesn't notice her at first, arguing with johannes about something as kiel introduces him as cabel ernst
jennette is hyperventilating?? actually back up is this girl even breathing??
cabel ernst from kiel's letters? the 'loud and obnoxious cabel ernst', who gradually turned into 'my acquaintance cabel ernst', then 'hardworking, passionate cabel ernst', and finally 'my friend cabel'?
she'd actually rather admired this slow build of respect between her friend and the ernst boy, and had even expressed her interest to meet him
"this is the first daughter of his highness prince claude de alger obelia, princess athanasia-" cabel mock salutes the princess before his mouth forms an 'o' and he remembers to bow, "-and here's the emperor's only daughter, her highness princess je-"
andddd his eyes widen comically "-hey, lady, it's you?"
yeah jettie is on the brink of literal death - her entire face reddens as this...cabel, grins at her
she watches as he glances behind her, "and you're the guy who was following us - sup?"
felix flinches "...you knew...?"
cabel shrugs. "i mean you do kinda suck ass at the whole subtle thing."
"don't say it like that," jennette retorts, "felix was trying his best."
"princess 😭😭 you knew as well?"
"uhhhh no?"
athy + kiel in a corner: 👁️👄👁️
they watch as cabel's eyes widen all of a sudden and he just,,,runs away
...🐦...🐦...🐦...
yeah well anyway he comes rushing back a few minutes later, a piece of cloth in his hand "...*huff* here *huff*...you go."
athy totally flips out "jennette is that your CLOAK???!??"
"uhhhhh no?"
"um do you realise uncle would literally wage war at this."
and as if it would make everything better,
"i washed it," cabel offers with a grin
"you didn't," the vastia heir deadpans
"i mean, johan helped a little bit."
kiel smiles murderously at the pair. "johan, did you know cabel took the princess out?"
"wait, you're a PRINCESS??"
your honour they aren't very smart
so the group orders some coffee (milk for cabel smfh) to find out what happened, cabel mentions "date" and everything goes to shit again lmfao
kiel and felix scheme against poor cabel while athy n johan get over that stage pretty quick ("listen. MY sister will be living with ME after the marriage and if your friend wants to be with her he'll have to come with us to obelia." and johan's just like "fine by me ✌️😊") and start planning the wedding
cabel + jennette dip n sneak out of the academy again to get the juice they couldn't the night before bc shit is getting awkward here
on another note, our uncle cius' musical intelligence is actually very high - he can probably play more instruments than i can name tbh, but he feels most comfortable singing and i shit you not, this man has straight up an angel's voice
(didn't like singing in front of others coz he was secretly a nerd and only knew old love songs with deep lyrics, athy found out and educated him)
jennette tends to have nightmares often, most often regarding their family - she's seen her father murder her uncle for the throne, and vice versa, athy admitting her affections towards jennette were a front to get the position of crown princess, her uncle killing her to solidify athy's claim, etc - her family is her everything, so despite however many times these horrible scenes play before her, she's left sobbing uncontrollably
and on these nights, she leaves for her father's room, who holds her close and sings her to sleep
also lucas n jennette are like sibling duo# 1,,, jettie is an active lucathy shipper even though he denies it sm - like their dynamic is just peaceful walks in the gardens as she watches the plants n lucas shi talks the nobility and kiel
claude and athy have a thing for each other's sleeping on each other? idk it's weird
athy once fell asleep on the couch while reading with him, and claude moved her head onto his lap so she wouldn't be uncomfy sitting - well, she woke up to his hand absentmindedly raking through her hair and it was just so soothing that whenever she's tired and he's working or reading, she just plops her head on his lap and zzzz
and claude wondered what was up with that, so she proposed they switch roles and he felt so awkward trying to lay down in front of her lmao
obviously athy noticed and she just started reading, thinking he might be more comfortable if her attention isn't on him completely - she ended up reading out loud while playing with his collar and he just,,,passed out
also anastacius has definitely pulled jennette aside regarding the issue of his heir at some point - she had been hesitant at first before admitting she wouldn't like to be the empress at all
i know we'd all love to see empress!jettie and her sister duchess!athy ruling the court, but i really really really can't see her wanting the title?
so thus start athy's empress lessons, but holy shit her teacher is mean
like this man makes me want to bash his face in?? so he doesn't like the idea of athy becoming empress over jennette at all, all bc of both hers and claude's mothers being commoners
he has one of those long ass sticks that you use in presentation to point at stuff?? idk but basically mans has athy name every region, its lords and their vassals during their first lesson
the first time she gets one wrong, she's too shocked as the stick meets the delicate skin of her forearm to react
now the thing is, wmmap!athy would probably stand up against this bc her dad is the emperor and she's his only heir, but i imagine with anastacius' social nature he holds many parties / balls where she's probably heard claude's mom + diana slander and it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to be self conscious abt it (now she's the emperor's heir while jennette, 100% royal + noble blood, is right there which probably makes her feel even less legitimate)
so she endures it, the light marks on her arms as well as the taunts of his she's too smart to not understand - perhaps this is the price to be accepted in jennette's place?
and honestly, no one really notices until at breakfast a few weeks in, where jennette mentions how her dresses are still so modest when sleeveless dresses were more in fashion - ana is suspicious because athy is always on top of these things, societal trends and such, and claude is sus from the way she hesitates slightly in her answer, "i haven't had the time lately, i suppose"
the lesson after focuses on ettiquete since everyone knows she's good at politics and such already, but now tears of frustration are pooling in her eyes because what the hell?? this guy had made an opinion of her long before he even met her, so anything she did would be wrong in his eyes
he gives her a sinister smile, "tired, princess?"
"no," she insists, keeping her voice level. he's about to spout some other nonsense, when anastacius enters the room, taking a seat across from her
anastacius watches quietly as athy answers the teacher's questions in her "public" voice. he watches as her usually cheery disposition is replaced by something far more...dead, despite the front she puts on for him. he's soundless as she hesitates in her answers where she normally would've been louder, more confident. he stops watching in silence when his niece flinches at the sight of the stick
oh.
he interrupts her lesson, not missing the way she winces almost imperceptibly when he grabs ahold of her arm, announcing, "we're going."
he just- it's just that that was the moment he knew for sure - the sight of his niece emotionally disheveled for the first time reminds him too much of how his own brother had once been, and he'd... he'd promised he wouldn't let anyone hurt his family anymore
he ends up taking her to the port with some of his advisors to welcome some royal guests, insisting that she would learn better from experience rather than books - but the guest delegation gets so boring that he sneaks her out of the meeting n they end up in the streets
now athy has no idea where they are, but apparently her uncle does?? ana has his hand on her head as he navigates the streets of the capitol as if he comes here everyday, using magic to casually disguise the two of them
in the meantime?
felix is at the port trying to cover for them smfh, he makes up this huge story about how the great wise emperor wanted to familiarize his heir with the locals, understand her subjects, yada yada
back at the palace prince claude is currently dragging a man by his collar and only upon jennette's insistence does he throw him in prison rather than literally kill him
(jettie visits him later in prison to give the guy a piece of her mind, after felix's visit he's sporting a few noticable bruises and the prisoner is practically unrecognizable once lucas visits)
back to athy + ana, they end up stuffing themselves with some super good street food as anastacius confesses that yes, he has definitely been sneaking out of the palace ever since he was a lil kid
athy almost mentions that she, lucas n jettie sneak out too but that might give him a heart attack, so
"it's so pretty, uncle cius," she says, gesturing towards the necklace he holds up. once he's paid for it, anastacius fists the necklace, opening it to reveal the jewel pendant - now imbued with his magic and replaced with gold lettering of the word athanasia
and she realises that yes, that's what both him and her dad have called her all her life, haven't they?
"you're my heir, athanasia," he uncle tells her with a small smile, "i am proud of that."
getting teary, she tells him, "i'm really proud of you too, uncle cius," triggering a very flustered + blushy anastacius
this mans craves validation - not from the sycophantic nobility, or the obsequious concubines he'd dismissed all those years ago, but from the family he thought he'd neither have nor deserve
and just the acknowledgement is so large for athy - he wants her as his heir, not because she's his niece, but bc he trusts her to look after his hard work after him??? - yeah she's totally bawling her eyes out
anastacius magics her a handkerchief but my mans magic isn't that strong?? lmao he's used up so much by now that the 'handkerchief' turns out to be some scratchy tissues
awkward amirite
nope! athy laughs at that, offering him a sip of her drink as she magics another straw and a proper handkerchief lmfaoo
n e ways so when they return, everyone's shocked to learn that the crown heir, princess athanasia will actually be joining the official circles as anastacius' temporary aid - he doesn't wanna entrust her to anyone but family, and decides that the best way to learn is by his side
(she's so confused bc lucas doesn't normally bat an eyelash when she wears the prettiest gowns, but he deadass can't look her in the eyes when she's in her aid uniform - it's more like a suit than it is a dress)
yes lucas women in suits >>>>>
everyone is STUNNED when at dinner, claude proposes they leave on vacation??
anastacius is just not having it?? like no, this is not my brother, and he throws a grape at claude to check if it's a clone or sum (¿¿how does that work??)
anyays so he ain't no felix, ana's aim is ass and it hits jettie instead
mans nearly gets on his knees to apologise
long story short everyone preps for vacation, but by some aCCiDeNt claude n athy end up at a different destination than jettie n ana, when she suggests returning to the palace to regroup, mans deadass sulks
"so you wouldn't like to spend this time with your father, despite barely visiting my office for weeks?"
o-oh
so at their return, the nobility starts pestering everyone that the princesses aren't independent enough, yada yada idc so to quell this annoyance, to the girls' joy, they get to move into emerald palace together, while claude and ana stay in the ruby and main palaces respectively
literally emerald palace becomes such a cool place to be in since it's the residence of the only decent people in this family, the brothers spend hours going through the requests of maids who want to be transferred
it's such a busy time because of athy joining the court and jettie starting her studies as well - naturally, since she isn't becoming empress, she'll be getting the duchy claude + athy were to be given in the beginning
speaking of futures, jettie's interest in plants and cooking has definitely branched out into herbs
claude notices her tending to a small garden during his visit to athy and even gives her a few tips (he had been studying medical since he was a kid, and picked it up again when athy was born and the empire stablised somewhat)
this soon becomes a routinely thing, and he actually starts reading up on some herbs and even orders a few for her prospering garden
after a month of her learning from books, claude proposes adding a medic as one of her teachers, and turns out his hunch was right?? she's excelling at medicine and they keep it between themselves for the time being
it doesn't last long though, bc they're on a hunting trip when ana injures his leg
and !! this girl istg, she gets to cleaning and wrapping the wound without blinking an eye, as if it's the most natural thing ever, and claude is just smirking while athy and anastacius and literally everyone else: 🌟💞✨jettie✨💞🌟
literal tears coming out of anastacius' eyes "how come my daughter is smarter than me😭💅"
claude: that's not a very high standard, brother
anastacius: ✨suddenly i'm an only child✨
behold, the people in charge of running an empire everyone 👏👏👏
even though jennette is claude's (unofficial) student and athy is her uncle's heir, they both ask their dads to the debutante
yes athy does dance with lucas, anastacius sent him an invitation even though he wasn't a noble (he's an active match maker 😌) and nobody dared question the emperor's special guest
at the end of the night, kiel gives jettie a letter from arlanta - it's an invitation to the academy during holidays, from a certain brunette
when she brings up the subject, felix lets out a squeak and literally everyone goes silent 😭😭
athy n kiel are just out here DARING him to spill them beans
but anastacius takes on look at his excited lil kid and decides that yups, she's going to get everything she wants
a/n: i literally don't know how many parts this should have lmaoo but y'all made it this far!! thanks for reading i hope you liked it<3

Locked -
Taehyung 
Smut with Taehyung in Paris what could be better? 19+
Tumblr media
Happy Birthday Taehyung! You are my sun my moon and all of my stars.
Part of the The Juis Suis Fou de Toi Universe.
Artist Tae AU. 4213 words.
While convincing his girlfriend he should paint her, things get a little sexually abstract.
Contains sex (M/F), Oral (M) Mutual Masturbation (M/F), Swearing, Slight Dom Tae, OC is insecure. Do not be fooled before the read more, there is no cheating in this fic. 
Tumblr media
"We're almost home, please don't make me carry you."
Yeontan looked up with big eyes as he defiantly sat in the middle of the sidewalk. Crouching down to his level in defeat you tore a piece of your pastry off and began bargaining.
"It's strawberry your favorite, you can have some if you just stand up."
He let out a little bark seemingly in agreeance with the bribe and stood, tail wagging frantically.
"Tannie," Taehyung scooped the excited dog into his arms while placing a kiss on your cheek.
"Camille, this is my girlfriend Y/N and this," Yeontan wiggled in his arms while licking his face, "is Tannie."
"Oh, Hi."
Shocked you took in the tall gorgeous blonde who accompanied you boyfriend. Why Taehyung was walking around the streets of Paris with her you were unsure, and honestly not very happy. 
"It's really nice to meet you Camille."
Suddenly feeling self conscious you pulled your coat tighter around yourself.
Taehyung, noticing the sudden shift in your mood wrapped his arms around your waist.
"Camille is helping me with the gallery opening. We were going to grab some dinner before we started. Do you want to join us?"
Your mind raced, what do you do?  He hadn't invited you in the first place so obviously you'd be intruding.
If you stayed he'd be looking at you side by side, comparing Pomme to Pomme De Terre. But, if you left they'd be alone, getting to know one another or worse. Maybe they already knew each other better than they should.  
In either scenario your insecurities would be winning. 
"Tannie's getting pretty tired and I was going to stop at the Butcher to grab us dinner." Your eyes fell on his searching for guilt and found nothing but adoration. "But I guess you've already got plans so I'll just catch up with you later." 
He passed the dog back to you, a new look of concern on his face.
"Okay, I guess I'll just see you at home later," he kissed your cheek. 
"Bye Tannie, bye Y/N."
The woman smiled and looped her arm through Taehyung's as they walked towards the cafe. 
"That doesn’t mean anything right Tan? It’s just a French thing I’m sure.” You must be going crazy standing in the street talking to your dog. “So, how do you feel about stopping for some wine?"
You frowned at your four legged companion and for once he seemed sympathetic offering a head tilt and a whimper.
"Don't worry, you can have his Steak." 
Walking home in a daze you searched your memory, had he told you about this? Taehyung liked to work alone, surely you'd remember him mentioning he'd hired an assistant. 
Your feet had suddenly become as tired as your mind. The blue mansard roof of your apartment peeked through the greenery of the blowing trees urging you forward, calling you home.  
Rounding the last corner, the Pont Des Arts had been covered in gaudy yellow caution tape. In the hour and a half you'd been out, workers had begun pulling off rail sections of the love locked bridge.
You felt dizzy, was this a sign? The lock that you'd placed on it signifying your commitment was being taken away. Helpless you stood watching thousands of couples promise's to one another being disassembled.
Pulling your phone from your satin lined pocket your first instinct was to text Taehyung. 
Y/N: I can't believe it, they're dismantling the bridge and taking away our lock 💔 I'm so sad Taehyung, It really meant so much to me. 
Tears rolled down your cheek as you reevaluated the message. Instead of hitting send you deleted and replaced your words
Y/N: The bridge is under construction, maybe take a different way home later. 
Tumblr media
You hadn't heard him come home and had no idea how late he'd been out. With sadness and worry getting the best of your brain, sleep seemed like the only way to curb your anxiety. It had been quite an effective method until you found yourself wide awake tiptoeing through your house in the wee hours of the morning. 
The worn floorboards creaked underneath your slow step, the vintage wood was cold to the touch of your bare feet. The old apartment was drafty on the best of days but 4 am carried its own specific type of chill.
A shiver ran up your spine, perhaps one of Le Marais famous revolutionary ghosts had joined in on the quest to find your boyfriend. Or maybe it was just the ominous feeling in the pit of your stomach that the universe was trying to tell you something. 
A faint light glowed yellow under the warped door at the end of the hallway and the sounds of Thelonious Monk's piano drifted through the air the closer you got. 
The painted metal door handle gave way opening to a wall of heat from the radiators lining the enormous windows. 
"Go figure I'd find you in the warmest room in the house."
He was shirtless and seemingly debating the fate of the canvas before him.  With his paintbrush clenched between his teeth he turned, a huge smile warming you instantly. 
"Why aren't you in bed?" He set the brush down and walked over to wrap you in his embrace. 
"I don't like sleeping without you, you're the only thing that keeps me warm in that freezer of a bedroom." 
You stood on your tiptoes to place a peck on his lips. 
"What are you working on? Is it for the gallery?" 
He sighed heavily, "Just another Lavender Field I guess. I'm so uninspired. Why won't you just let me paint you, hmm?" 
His fingers splayed over the lace covered small of your back pulling you in tighter. "What are you so afraid of."
"Tae," you buried your face into the crook of his neck. "Isn't the point of art painting things that people want to look at? You should be painting women like Camille not me."
Pressed to his chest you swear you heard his breath halt. He seemed to be choosing his words carefully before he spoke softly.
"Camille is pretty but there is absolutely nothing unique or inspiring about her."
He kissed the top of your head before tugging on your chin to make you look at him.
"You are the most beautiful woman in the world, but you are a terribly uncooperative muse." 
"I don't want to be Tae, I'm just afraid" 
"What is there to be afraid of? It's just you and me, If you don’t like it I'm the only one who will see it." 
"That's it though, what if…" a tear slipped from your eye, "What if you don't like what you see, what if painting me makes you see all my flaws. I can't stand looking in the mirror for 5 minutes and you want to immortalize my every imperfection on a canvas." 
His face was soft and serious, the lights from the city streaming through the large windows across his honey skin. 
"Sweetheart, how do I make you believe me? I never want you to be uncomfortable but I think if I can show you how you look through my eyes you'll understand what my heart sees every time I look at you.”
Stepping back from him you nodded. Sliding the thin straps off your shoulders you stepped out of the white lace puddle that now lay at your feet. 
"Okay." 
His face lit up like he'd received divine inspiration.
"I have an idea." 
He scurried for a palate, squeezing colors on it like a man possessed. Rummaging for the right brushes he returned presenting them to you like a cat who'd dragged home a mouse. 
"Trust me?"
You nodded, "I do." 
Loading his brush with paint you stood waiting for him to lay the first stroke to the oversize canvas leaning on the wall beside you. 
Raising the tool to his mouth he exhaled a warm breath over it as if trying to take the chill off.
"I've never seen this technique before" 
"It's because I've only just invented it." 
He ran the paintbrush down your torso sending a shiver from head to toe. 
You gasped, "You're not just painting me... you're literally painting Me?"
The biggest smile overtook his face, "You said you trusted me." 
Trying to remain still and not ask questions you watched him work. Diligently mixing colors and trading brushes his design slowly revealed itself. 
"Are you painting me as starry night?"
He stepped back to admire his work. "Like the stars, you guide and inspire me. I think it captures your spirit." 
He shifted the canvas so it was flat to the wall. 
"Come over here." He reached for your hand, "Are you ready? I want you to press yourself against it." 
"Here?"
Sliding in close behind you he raised your arms into position, holding them up.
"Like this, right here." 
His breath felt hot on your skin and your nipples hardened with his words. Gently he used his body weight to press you onto the canvas. 
"Now step back to me slowly." 
Pulling back, the paint had transferred to the canvas. It was stamped with starry breasts, stomach and thighs, it was you and it was beautiful. He dragged his lips down your shoulder as you stood looking at it.
"Now let's do the right side." 
You repeated the process but this time you could feel him growing hard against you. His hands trailed down your sides and his lips moved warm against your ear.
"You've never been sexier."
His rumbles of admiration set your insides on fire. 
"Taehyung I want you."
All the gentle brush strokes and touching had left you aroused aching for him to fill you. 
"Do you need me to take care of you baby?" 
He slid his cloth covered cock over your bare ass, grinding, teasing, slowly torturing your needy cunt. 
"Fuck you until you're screaming my name?" 
Sliding two long fingers deep inside you he held them there motionless. 
Leaning over you, dominating, he growled into your ear.
"Show me how you like it, fuck my fingers like you want to fuck my cock."
You clenched immediately around his digits and he laughed, "that's my dirty girl, now use me to make yourself feel good." 
Throbbing wet and desperate you used his hand to pleasure yourself. Harder and deeper it felt good but it wasn't him.  
"Tae, It's not enough I need your cock."
He snickered again, "why is that, maybe you should tell me." 
He reached his free hand around to pinch your nipple. 
The truth was, nothing could satisfy you once you'd had him inside you. He was huge and perfect and he knew how insatiable you were for him. 
"I need you to stretch me, wanna feel you against my cervix fucking me so hard."
You sounded whiny and it flipped the switch inside him from teasing to wanting instant gratification. 
Pulling his hand away from your breast he undid his pants and kicked them away. His erection fell against your ass as he pressed you back to the center of the canvas. 
"Right here, arms up for me." 
You did as you were told as he took a stance behind you lining himself with your entrance. He could be the most generous gentle lover when needed but right now you both wanted something animalistic and dirty. 
Thrusting hard and deep your whole body slid in an upward motion streaking the paint vertically onto the canvas. 
"Fuck."
It was pleasure, it was pain and it was satisfying to your core. 
"Is that enough for you?" His large hand feel heavy against your ass. 
"Harder." 
"Such a greedy little girl you are." 
Another thrust and you were seeing stars. Splayed across the canvas your cheek dragged through the midnight blue acrylic.
Trying to desperately catch your breath your mouth hung open panting the words fuck me and faster while he pumped furiously into you. 
His fingertips traveled from their grip on your hip to the protruding bud engorged with arousal that lay starved for attention between your thighs. He pressed and rolled your clit softly in contradiction to the rough pounding your pussy was taking. 
"Tae."
His name moaned out of your mouth and it was the only signal he needed to know he'd done his job. He slowed his hips and pulled you down impaling you onto his cock until your walls convulsed around him. He held you there, still for a minute until your senses had come back and you were able to stand on your own. 
His mouth hung open in a grin while his erection still stood hungry for more. 
Pulling the canvas from the wall he laid it on the ground. 
"I think this painting needs some pretty little knee marks on it."
"Show me where." It was your turn to tease. 
He pointed where he wanted you to kneel and shoved his finger into your mouth.
"Right there, and right here," he stroked your tongue with his thumb. 
He pulled his finger away and rubbed his tip around your lips. 
Opening up wide for him he gently began fucking your mouth. Head was always a challenge given his size so it was never rushed.
Gingerly you wrapped your hands around him stroking the length that didn't fit in your mouth. His head was thrown back, eyes closed as puffs of air heaved from his chest in pleasure. 
He was getting close, his now careless thrusts began making you choke around him.
"Fuck, sorry," he pulled back.
You kitten licked and sucked at his tip while he wrapped his hand tightly around himself and began rubbing. 
You looked up at him from the position on your knees. His beautiful body was covered in paint splatters everywhere it had connected with yours 
"Fuck Tae, I love watching you touch yourself." 
"Yeah?" he took a long stroke thumbing the tip. 
"Yeah," you could feel yourself getting worked up again. 
"Lay back. "He stood over you, "Can you see how beautiful I think you are now?" His hands wandered between his legs and he rubbed his balls with one while he resumed stroking with the other. "How sexy I think you are?" 
His words washed over you, arousal peaking you nipples. 
"When I can't find inspiration I imagine you just like this and I masturbate thinking about your perfect tits." 
Your pussy was pulsing at the thought of him in here clearing his head by milking himself. 
"Can you touch yourself for me? Give my imagination something to use next time I'm stuck in here?" 
You nodded, breath heavy in anticipation of cumming again for him. 
"Stick your fingers in your pussy for me." 
You did, moaning instantly. You were sensitive, every nerve was lit like a fuse ready to explode. Pumping your fingers in time with his strokes you were both unravelling quickly. 
His exasperated breathing got louder signaling his immanent release. Picking up speed he came in warm droplets that landed on you and over the canvas on which you lay. 
So turned on watching him you finished your own orgasm mere seconds after he did.
Opening his eyes looking down at you shocked he smiled, "Did we just do that?" He held out his hand to help you up. 
"Yeah, I think we did." you blushed.
Grabbing a clean drop cloth from the shelf he draped it around you as you both stood looking over the painting. 
"It's really not bad, I can still make out the important parts. The way the stars smeared looks intentional like their shooting through the sky." 
Laughing you shook your head, "It's definitely an abstract." 
"As are you," he turned you to the mirror. Painted cheeks, wild hair, dried yellow stars flaking off the skin of your stomach.
"Let's go out!” He abruptly declared. “I want to see you all messy and fucked out with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop." 
"You're crazy Taehyung, What will people think?" 
"They'll think they're in Paris and that an artist and his muse just made wild passionate love in the wee hours of the morning because they couldn't stand to keep their hands off of one another."
He grabbed his coat from the corner and tied the belt tightly around your waist. 
Placing his hands on your cheeks and cradling your face his lips pressed and lingered against yours.
"They'll think, that must be what true love looks like and they’ll all be jealous."
Tumblr media
Taking leisurely steps across the bridge the quiet of dawn was only broken by the water lapping beneath you. The absence of the locks amplified the little wakes and you tried to mentally record them as one of the many new memories you'd made tonight. 
Coffee in one hand and Taehyung's in the other. He pulled pieces of chocolatine from the bag tucked under his arm and fed them to you as you walked.
"I don't think I'm ever going to get over the fact you don't like coffee." You took a big sip. 
"It's strategic. If I had to hold a coffee and the pastry bag I wouldn't be able to hold your hand."
He stopped abruptly lightly jarring your arm. 
"Hey, Did you know that right here, this is the exact spot we first met."
His dark eyes reflected the lamplight just like they did as he looked at you that night.
"You were leaning over the rail," he pointed, "right here, waving to the passengers in the boats."
"Ughh, I was such a tourist." You laughed in retrospect. 
He took the coffee from your hand and set it on the base of the lamppost.
"Go pose for me, I want to take your picture so I can paint you from the night we met, I'll even add the locks back in."   
"It won't be the same." You sighed, "I'm covered in paint, my hair's a mess and all I have on is your trench coat."
"You're crazy if you think I don't remember everything about the way you looked. How that loose strand of hair fell," he tucked your hair behind your ear, "and still falls over your eye.  You had on that green sweater, I remember It was so soft against my fingertips when I reached out to hold your hand.” 
He kissed you and whispered, "Let me have that moment again." 
"You're such a hopeless romantic my love." You smiled fondly and obliged. Leaning over and looking down you re-enacted the opening scene of your meeting. 
After a few minutes of waving to an imaginary boat you turned giggling. "Did you get what you wanted?"
He was kneeling on the ground a few feet away looking pensive.
"Almost."
"Do you want me to do it again?"
His smile grew as his hand reached into his pocket and he held up what appeared to be a padlock. 
"No," He paused. "I want you and I to be locked together forever."
Turning back towards the rails you inspected them closely. "I don't think we can Tae, they pretty much made them lock proof." By the time you'd spun back to face him he was standing beside you. 
His large hand was wrapped around the lock with only little glimmers of metal peeking out.
"But this is a magic lock. I'm going to give you the key and you're going to have to make a decision, just like when we first met." He pressed the lock's pronged companion piece into your palm while simultaneously unfurling his fingers. 
"Marry me?"
Shocked floored, not even an ounce of intuition had told you this was coming. Hooked onto the shackle an enormous pear shaped diamond awaited your answer.
"Tae," your hand shook and tears blurred your vision as you moved to free the ring from it's restraint.
"Of course, Yes." Turning the key Taehyung pulled the lock apart and slid the diamond onto your finger.
Under the lamp, on the bridge in the middle of Paris it was like lightning had struck twice. You stood kissing the man who'd once again changed your life.
"But what are we going to do with the Lock?" The bridge was stark under the first rays of sunrise and heartbreakingly void of the promises it once guarded.
"So superstitious." He put the lock back in his pocket. "You're just going to have to hold on to that key until the time is right."
Tumblr media
Fresh paint overwhelmed your senses. Guiding you with his large hands he steered you forward for what felt like forever.
"Is the blindfold necessary?"
"In order to surprise you, yes, yes it is."
He'd been working hard on his new exhibition and it had been kept tightly under wraps. One advantage of sleeping with the artist was the private advanced viewing from the curator himself.
"Are you ready?" he stilled you adjusting your angles. "Hold out your hand."
"Oh, it's an interactive piece?" you chided him. "I agree to do one painting and suddenly we're Marina and Ulay."
Placing something that felt like cool metal into your palm he slipped the blindfold off. 
Before your eyes stood a huge section of railing, thousands of padlocks adorning it. Behind the rail, a life size painting, a girl in a green sweater. Leaning forward she waved, looking happy, as her hair blew softly. Her eyes naïve, not knowing she was about to fall in love.
The words on the wall named the piece, "Locked"
"Tae," a tear fell in awe at his recreation. "You made me look beautiful."
"No mon petite, you make you look beautiful. Do you have your key?"
Lifting the chain from around your neck you held it up for him.
"Let's find our lock. It was closer to the top if I recall correctly."
"There's no way? This isn't a recreation? This is the real bridge?"
He laughed, "I know what it meant to you. They were selling pieces for charity. That's what I was really doing with Camille that day. She's a broker for the auction house."
The memory of your insecurities came back in a flash and your cheeks blushed pink at how foolish the notion of him straying seemed now.
"Here it is!" He crouched down holding it in his hand, your inked initials a little worn but still visible.
Slipping your key into the new lock you popped it open and knelt down beside him. Hooking it through the original it stood out higher than the rest and you both smiled.
"You're stuck with me now, triple locked." He fiddled with your ring suddenly shy.
"I don't need metaphors to know we'll be together forever Taehyung." You kissed his soft lips. "but I really like them."
Tumblr media
The gallery had been taken over by a hum of excitement, the air hanging heavy, was full of compliments and bids. Everyone was clamoring for the chance to own a Kim Taehyung original.
You hadn't seen the man of the hour in a while. You'd been kept dutifully in one spot regaling everyone with the romantic story behind the girl waving on the bridge. 
Finally breaking away you grabbed a glass of champagne from the nearest waiters tray and made your way to the back of the gallery. He stood by a painting you'd yet to see with an eclectic looking woman in large red framed glasses. Her bangle bracelets chimed together as she theatrically asked him questions about his work.
Noticing you moving towards him, his face pleaded silently with you to come to his social rescue.
"Ah, the girl in the Green Sweater!" She pulled you into her side grabbing and holding your hand. "Are you also The Reluctant Muse?" she pointed to the secretly cum splatterd piece.
Taehyung held back his smile, biting his lip.
"Yes, I guess I am."
"The abstract way he displayed your body, it's very sexy. You know I used to be someone's muse." She patted the back of your hand. "From the size of this ring I'm guessing you're not nearly as reluctant anymore."
Knocking back your champagne you reached for another, "I'm currently working on lowering my inhibitions."
Focusing back on Taehyung she continued, "I simply have to have this painting, it reminds me so much of my younger days."
He shook his head to reinforce what he was about to say. "Unfortunately this one has already been curated to a private collection." He winked nodding discreetly in your direction.
"Don't be silly, I'll give you $20,000."
You choked on your drink surprised while he reiterated his statement.
"I'm sorry, It's just a very special painting to me."
You had to interject, "Let's not make any hasty decisions."
Taehyung raised a scolding eyebrow, "The piece is simply priceless, I've put too much of myself in it to sell." 
You smirked at his secret admission. "What if," feeling emboldened with confidence you put forth the suggestion, "we make it a series?"
Taehyung's eyes lit up as you explained.
"It'll be one of a kind, just for you madam."
Her bangles declared her excitement as she clapped. "Yes, I love that! But I have two conditions."
Leaning forward you both eagerly waited.
“I want extra splatters, I really like the way they look. And I'm going to need it finished in time for my party next week.”
Taehyung shook the woman's hand and grinned proudly at you.
"No problem, we'll start working on it tonight."

here's a little set-up for a series i'm planning on working on for a while, since it makes me happy :) accept the 2.3K words of self-indulgent fluff i wrote because i am not doing well *finger guns*
(also, quick note, this is the start of a t/imber college au i've been working on for a while and will have another fic for relatively soon. please enjoy.)
Bernard barely glances up from his textbook reading when Tim stumbles into their dorm room, used to the near-constant state of sleep deprivation his roommate is in. He'd given up on trying to get Tim to go the fuck to sleep three weeks into their first semester, which he should have taken as a warning, because they're now two months into their spring semester and he's only seen Tim willingly go to sleep twice, a number that obviously excludes the amount of times he's passed out from exhaustion. Frankly, Bernard's surprised his roommate is even alive half the time, considering his lack of sleep and the five courses he's taken on in freshman year.
"How'd your presentation go?" he asks, grinning as Tim groans and dumps his bag on the floor, the sound followed by two thunks as he kicks off his shoes. "That bad?"
"No, just boring as shit," Tim counters, and for a second, Bernard's taken aback at how raspy his voice sounds before he chalks it up to the aforementioned sleep deprivation. Kid really needs a nap. And yeah, he might only be ten months older than Tim, but there's something about him that just makes him seem a lot younger than eighteen. "Half the class had no idea what they were talking about, and the other half somehow overanalyzed their cases to make them seem a lot more important than they actually were." He coughs quietly into his fist, the bedsprings squeaking underneath him.
Bernard hums in acknowledgement, highlighting one last line in his textbook before closing it and twisting in his seat to look at Tim, who's lying on his bed and staring at the ceiling. He looks alright, not like he's about to pass out, which is something Bernard never thought he'd have to check for. The signs of exhaustion are still there, though, in the edges of his red-rimmed eyes and the deep bags underneath that he's never bothered to hide, but he doesn't look sick, which. Well. Bernard is thankful for that, because he absolutely does not need a repeat of last semester.
He's pulled out of his thoughts by the buzz of his cell phone on the wooden desktop and moves to unlock it, scrolling through the various Instagram, Discord, and other notifications before landing on the text from one of his classmates. "Hey, do you want to come to a study session with me?" Bernard asks, fingers hovering over the keyboard and waiting for Tim's response.
His roommate shrugs. "Which class?"
"Communications."
"Yeah, sure," Tim says, dragging himself upwards and rubbing a hand against his cheekbone as he blinks. He doesn't actually take communications, but last semester, he'd developed a habit of following Bernard to random meetings so that he could listen in on the discussions to the point where now, Bernard just invites him to tag along. It's oddly endearing, if Bernard's being honest. "When are we leaving?"
Bernard checks the time on his phone, compares it to the text message, and takes a second to judge how far the location is from their dorm. "Uh, probably in about fifteen minutes? Does that work for you?" Tim nods, his hand migrating to his eye as he presses his palm into it. "You okay?"
"Fine," he says, voice soft and barely audible, his hand still held firmly against his eye. "Just need a second."
And, after nearly seven months of Tim, he knows what that tone means. Bernard turns around to give his roommate as much privacy as can be afforded in a dorm room of these proportions and starts gathering his notes together. Communications is a fascinating class, currently focused on reading and understanding body language, and has spawned a small, bi-weekly study group among the freshmen who take it. Bernard likes most of them well enough, they're all pretty nice, but he's almost positive that this is going to dissolve into chaos.
-
He called it.
Bernard can't tamp back his amusement, a smile threatening to split across his face as he watches the game of Pictionary currently taking place at the whiteboards. The drawing looks like some kind of mangled insect, with six legs and horns and a wide flat tail that's confusing the fuck out of everyone until one voice rises above the rest to shout, "APPA", and then the whole room erupts into screaming as the artist, some kid named Bryan Howard, he thinks, points excitedly at whoever guessed it.
God, he loves college.
"Bernard! Hey!" Gretchen, the friend who'd texted him about the study session in the first place, joins him at the table and pushes a strand of hair back from her eyes. Concern bleeds into her features as she says, "Tim Drake. He's your roommate, right?"
"Yeah?"
"Might want to get him out of here." Gretchen tilts her head towards one of the corners of the room, where Tim's curled up in a ball of what appears to be abject misery, his knees pulled up to his chest and his arms crossed over with his head buried in them. Bernard's not sure when that happened, exactly, but it's obvious that he's been over there for a while.
"Shit. Thanks," Bernard says, standing up and weaving through the group of people near the end of the table to get to Tim. It's rare for him to show this kind of vulnerability around just Bernard, much less in a room full of people, and that just ramps his concern up a couple more levels.
He ends up crouched next to Tim, hands hovering around his shoulders as he does his best to case the kid in front of him. He doesn't appear to be in distress, and Bernard's pretty sure that nothing's happened, so why—?
Bernard takes in the even rise and fall of his back, the steady pattern of breathing, and it hits him.
Tim's asleep.
Probably for the first time in a couple days, if the fact that he somehow managed to fall asleep in the middle of what's pretty much become a party says anything. Bernard shakes his head in bewilderment, reaching out a hand and gently shaking his roommate's shoulder to wake him up. It takes a second, but Tim blinks awake and meets Bernard's eyes. "Hey, man."
"Wh' time 's it?" Tim slurs, wincing as a particularly excited shout rings through the room. He's got to be exhausted, if he's willing to actually behave like a normal college student rather than like the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, like Wayne Enterprises.
"I hate to break it to you, but it's only six-thirty," Bernard says, grinning a little bit when Tim groans. "Seriously, how long have you been awake?"
He ponders the question for a bit, then asks, "What day is it?"
The following facepalm from Bernard is loud enough that it attracts a couple of turned heads and he hisses, "it's Thursday. Please don't tell me you've been awake since Monday."
"I haven't."
"Oh thank go—"
"I've been awake since Saturday."
"What the fuck," Bernard asks blankly and without hesitation. That statement almost feels like a reflex, at this point, in dealing with Tim's constant mentions of his ridiculous sleep schedule (or lack thereof). "That's it; we're going back to the dorms."
Tim doesn't even try to argue with him, which is probably most telling of his exhaustion. Bernard's seen him push himself to his absolute limit, going so far as to literally fall asleep in the middle of a conversation, and not stop or hesitate for even a single second while doing so. The fact that he's going with him easily right now is concerning.
"You're not getting sick, are you?" he asks warily, grabbing one of Tim's hands as he leads them out of the room and checking to make sure he's wearing his medical bracelet. The glint of it on his wrist is comforting, as well as the shake of his head that Tim gives him for the previous statement. "Just sleep deprived?" He gets a nod for that one.
They make it to the hallway before Tim stops, coughing lightly into his elbow for a couple seconds. "Sorry. Back to the dorms?"
"Yeah," Bernard says, taking his hand again before continuing on their way, "and then you're going to bed."
"For once, I think 'm not going to argue with that," Tim murmurs, grip on Bernard's hand strong despite the fact that he looks ready to pass out.
He's silent after that, leaning against Bernard and following him as they walk. It's cute, really, the little shuffle to his step when he forgets to properly pick up his feet and the way he keeps squeezing Bernard's hand, applying just a bit more pressure that demands his attention. Bernard makes sure to squeeze back, smiling as Tim does the same and pulling out his keycard as they approach their dorm building.
"Are you going to make it upstairs?" Bernard asks, skeptical. Tim just presses his face into Bernard's shoulder and mumbles something incoherent, so he just wrangles Tim into a piggyback and sets off towards their dorm room, which sounds harder than it is. Tim weighs almost nothing, is probably barely over a hundred and forty pounds, if that. "Dude. What are you made of, bags of potato chips?"
Tim's face is still pressed into his shoulder, but he says something that sounds suspiciously like "fuck you" and Bernard laughs quietly, pressing the button for the elevator and waiting patiently for it to arrive. "Not made of potato chips. I'm like... twenty percent water."
"Pretty sure it's more than that," Bernard says, stepping inside and pressing the third floor button. "People are about seventy percent water."
"Yeah, if they're cowards," Tim says, turning his head so his face isn't smashed directly into Bernard's shoulder blade. "'M not a coward."
"...I still don't think that's how it works." Sleep-deprived Tim is a blessing, really. As bad as it is for him, he's also Bernard's favorite source of entertainment, and it's the same for his family. At least once a month, he'll send a random video of Tim saying or doing something stupid because he hasn't slept in days (the last one was him sobbing over a Cheeto he'd dropped) to Dick, who never fails to respond with a text to both Bernard and Tim. The former, of course, thanks Bernard for sending the video, while the latter is just him yelling at Tim to go to sleep again. So far, Dick's efforts have been fruitless, and not for lack of trying.
"Shut up, yes it is. I'm a genesis, Bernard, know what 'm talking about."
"A genesis."
"Yes."
He's standing at the door of their dorm now, paused in his actions to attempt to process the gibberish spilling out of Tim's mouth right now. That's the other thing; when Tim's operating on three hours of sleep a week, his intellect is the first to go. Sure, he'll still be smart, but he doesn't show it like he normally does. Instead, he says shit like the conversation currently happening.
"You sure about that?" Bernard asks, unlocking the door and stepping inside with Tim still on his back, though beginning to slide off now that they're in their room. "'Cause I'm pretty sure that's a car brand."
Tim blanks and falls silent as Bernard gently drops him on his bed, laughing quietly as Tim curls around one of his pillows and shoves himself backwards and into the corner. "You know what I meant," he eventually mutters, hitting the wall roughly with his hip without so much as a hiss of pain. "Good luck sleeping tonight. Gonna need it."
And then he's out.
"What the fuck," Bernard whispers quietly to himself, shaking his head in utter confusion before sitting down at his desk and opening his laptop to his French assignment, intent on completing it.
-
Bernard's playing Minecraft when Tim groans and rolls over, staring directly at Bernard until he takes off his headphones. "What's up?"
"Wh' time’s it?" Tim murmurs, his default question, as he brings up a hand up to scrub at his eyes.
He checks the clock on his laptop. "One-thirteen," Bernard reports. Just because Tim's sleep habits are awful doesn't mean his aren't as well; they're just objectively better by comparison. "That's only six and a half hours of sleep, dude, shouldn't you still be passed out?"
"Wish I was," he mumbles, walking over to him and placing his forehead on Bernard's shoulder. "Even took Benadryl..."
"Wait, hang on," Bernard says, pausing the game and turning his full attention to Tim. "Why'd you take Benadryl?"
He shrugs. "Felt like it." Before Bernard can even begin to talk about why that's an awful idea, Tim follows it up with, "Spring's beginning. Wanted to get a head start."
"…On the pollen?"
Tim hums his assent, lifting his head and glancing at his screen. "You need snowballs."
"Stop switching topics."
Instead of settling on either the proper method to defeat the Ender Dragon or how to properly prepare one's body against springtime allergens, Tim falls silent, pressing his face into Bernard's shoulder again. "Hey, man," Bernard says softly, unsure of exactly what's happening here, but not unaware of how to deal with it. "Do you need me to call Dick or Jason for you?"
"Nah," he says, closing his eyes again while Bernard tries to ignore how goddamn warm he feels, sitting in the pitch dark of their dorm room with only the light of his computer illuminating Tim's features, his roommate relaxed in a way he's rarely seen. "I'm okay with you."
"Just me?" Bernard whispers, barely daring to breathe for fear the moment and the sentiment will slip away.
"All of you," Tim whispers back, and that's the last thing either of them say until the morning.
