IT WASN'T A particularly big deal in the grand scheme of things. Graduating second grade was a milestone, but a fairly basic one. Having perfect attendance wasn't so much a moral success as luck of the draw when it came to catching or not catching the usual schoolyard cold and flu germs that got passed around. Grades were low stakes even at the highest mark, not that anyone would dare say that to a child's face or in range of their proud parent unless that person was a complete idiot.

And frankly, as excuses to have a party and offer complimentary cupcakes at Lighthouse CommodiTeas, Jack's end of second grade graduation was as good an excuse as any and a better reason to celebrate than more emotionally fraught reasons.

Jack sat at his usual table at the front, devoid of the now-obsolete homework and, instead, hosting a medium-sized travel terrarium with a mildly nervous tarantula huddled inside beneath a carefully constructed hide of tree bark and moss. The tarantula was being regularly checked on by its owner, Matt, who sat across from Jack and nibbled on his cupcake. Next to them sat Kaia, Jack's friend from karate, also eating a cupcake and asking questions about the care and needs of the tarantula as she wrote down a list for designing a new, bigger terrarium that would live in Matt's new room.

"I don't know if I should be concerned or not, honestly," Sheriff Donna Hanscum admitted from where she sat at the corner table across the room nearest the kitchen. "I don't want to discourage his interest, but, well... it's a spider, not a cat or a dog. And what if his focus on his pet is just his way of avoiding dealing with anything else?"

"My understanding is that Matt had this tarantula for some time before the... incident that resulted in him coming into your care," Cas said with as much delicacy as he could muster. The inciting incident had occurred on his day off, so he had only heard about it after the fact from Jimmy and been peripherally present for the fallout. "He may very well be focusing most closely on caring for his pet in order to avoid his own trauma, in which case showing care for the tarantula may help establish that, when he is ready to accept, care will be offered to him, too."

"Yeah," Donna sighed, looking down at her cup. Hellfire mocha with raspberry syrup, if Cas recalled correctly. "I just... I guess I'm worried that I won't be any good at this foster mom thing, y'know? I mean, I always thought I'd at least have a mate before having pups."

"Not something I can help you with," Cas said dryly, which at least made Donna laugh a bit. "You care about him and want him to be safe and happy, which is most important. Communicate with him, check in, listen to him... parenting is never going to be a one size fits all sort of thing, though from what I recall from working retail even 'one size fits all' was a misnomer."

"Usually is," Donna agreed. "But I get your point. Just gotta be open to listening when he's ready to talk."

"Exactly," Cas nodded. "And you aren't completely on your own in this, either. You have your pod, and your friends, and Matt will have all of you plus Jack and Kaia."

"Y'all really are great friends," Donna said with a smile. "Don't know too many other kids who would use the excuse of graduating second grade to throw a covert 'welcome to your new home' party for a kid they just met."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Cas lied as he plucked the chocolate and pretzel spider off his cupcake and took a bite.

Fic: Crossed Wires

I wrote Call of Duty fanfic and here it is!

Price and Makarov have a super random comm exchange in the 2011 version of MW2 (the one I played first) and that's what initially got me fannish about this series. I ended up being more fannish about the reboots but still preferring the gameplay of the older remasters, so I just took the line I liked -- where Price somehow just KNOWS Makarov can hear him on a comm link??? -- and used it with the reboot canon. Kinda. Because I hated the end of MW3 Reboot and anyway, this is really just sort of supposed to be fun to read, I am not taking War Crimes Simulator: The Game seriously.

It's mostly Price/Gaz with background ships, because I love John Price so much okay and everyone should get to. :D

new fandom so pls say hi if you stumble across me somehow, please talk to me about these traumatized sad boys who should all make out, i can't handle it!!!

Pandora was enraptured by the woman before her and she couldn’t tear her eyes away.

Not when Lily was drinking.

Not when she took her final sip.

Not when she wiped the blood off of her chin, licking the last remnants off her hand in a way that made Pandora want to faint.

And certainly not when their eyes locked.

Mending Yarrow Part 6

Out of all Tsunagu's friends, Yamada Hizashi was surprisingly the most sympathetic to Tsunagu's inner turmoil.

Hizashi Yamada had been a man struggling with internalized biphobia for many years. He also struggled to accept his gender identity until his supportive friends and partner encouraged him to be himself. The late Kayama Nemuri would go shopping with him and they would try out different styles. His partner loved and adored Hizashi regardless of how he looked. With his two guy friends the late Oboro Shirakumo and Iida Tensei being his most vocal supporters and defenders. It took awhile for Yamada to find and love himself.

While they were out exploring an art museum, Yamada asked "Tsu, I was wondering. Do you have a type? I mean I'm into the more dark haired, brooding, mysterious, and introverted dudes. The guys that still have hearts of gold even under all of their sharp edges."

Tsunagu replied, "No I don't. I've dated people that I had a solid rapport with. People that I had some hobbies in common with. Never really a particular type though."

Yamada smiled. His eyes looking at Tsunagu from over his sunglasses. He said, "Hmm..maybe you're like Shouta then. When our friends Kayama and Oboro started dating, he had no idea if he'd even be into anyone least of all me. Had to date all kinds of people to figure out who he was attracted to. What he wanted in a relationship."

Tsunagu said, "I've known that I've liked guys for a really long time. Even when I tried to tell myself otherwise. I'm just not sure I can date when there's this expectation that I need to be very sexual. Where sex is basically required. When thinking of performing it makes me feel physically ill and unsteady. I can talk about other people's sex lives, the biology of it all, and fictional content but I can't do it myself."

Yamada said, "Man, I feel bad for you. I mean. Without sex in dating, it's more like a friendship, you know? Not that there's anything wrong with platonic relationships. It's just really disappointing for someone you're in love with that's all. I know I personally wouldn't enjoy a completely sexless relationship."

At that point, Aizawa Shouta arrived to meet them outside of the museum for lunch. He nodded at Tsunagu. Listening into Hizashi and Tsunagu's chatter while he quietly ate his lunch. Tsunagu could tell that Yamada and Aizawa were just happy to be around each other. Their separate and unique fabrics coexisting with each other so harmoniously. Together they were such a beautiful outfit. It reminded him of him and Shinya's friendship. He really did miss the ninja hero.

Mending Yarrow Part 5

The next day, Tsunagu had to help his friend Iida Tensei with organizing a fundraiser for a local children's charity. Both Tensei and his little brother Tenya would be speaking at the event to raise money for children with disabilities and local after school programs.

Tensei was particularly nervous because this was his little brother's big night as a young pro hero and the new Ingenium. He would also be introducing Tenya to his girlfriend Shino Sosaki (Mandalay of the Wild Wild Pussycats). He was so nervous that Tenya wouldn't approve of their relationship. His brother's approval meant the world to him.

Tsunagu reassured him, "Tensei, your brother knows Mandalay from his forest training camp experiences and the war. He worked well with her back then and hasn't seemed at all upset by her. Shino is also one of the kindest and most compassionate heroes out there. She cares about rescuing and protecting civilians just as much as you and Tenya. You were also able to win over Kota and the other pussycats which I would argue is a lot harder. Tenya will be okay. Tensei, you hang the moon and the stars for him. I doubt he'd reject someone that made you truly happy."

Tensei replied, "Thanks, man. You're probably right. What about you? Found somebody new? I heard Edgeshot and Ryukyu started going out. Tenya tells me his classmates Izuku Midoriya and Ochako Uraraka are seriously dating. So is Reiko Yanagi and Tokoyami, Kirishima and Mina, Kaminari and Jirou, Yui Kodai and Shinsou Hitoshi, Koda and Pony Tsunotori, Toru Hagakure and Manga Fukidashi, Monoma Neito and Setsuna Tokage, and Kendo and Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. There's a few other couples too. I just can't remember them all at the moment. Love really is in the air right?"

Tsunagu said, "Yeah, nobody yet. That's okay though. I don't mind being single as long as I have great people in my life."

Tensei agreed with the sentiment. Then he said, "I hope you aren't missing out though. I heard through Mount Lady and Gang Orca that you aren't into sex at all. I hate to say this but maybe you're sick? You should go to a doctor and see if your testosterone is low. Then when you start feeling better, you'll change your mind."

Tsunagu nodded. He could understand Tensei's concerns about his health given their line of work. It just hurt to think that Tensei, one of his oldest friends, considered him to be broken. No matter, the show must go on. They had children in need of their support.
