"You're fucking with us", Charles stated, mouth agape as he stared at Peter in disbelief and awe, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at his friend's confession.
Wincing at everyone's eyes on him, Peter dropped his head into his hands as he contemplated why he was friends with such manipulative idiots. Groaning softly as he combed through his hair with a sweaty palm, the other reached for his phone which lay nearby.
He had been guilt tripped into hosting their weekly AcaDec study sessions at his apartment this weekend due the team's insistence that he no longer cared for them. His insulting amount of absences racked up because of spidey duties, not that he could tell them of his extremely valid excuse.
That's how he found himself crowded together into a messy circle on the carpet in his living room which May swore would come back in trend according to her home decor magazines. His teammates, doing everything but studying as they indulge themselves in the latest gossip and an impromptu game of truth or dare.
With Flash's question targeting either his secret webslinger-identity or his relationship status, Peter's choice between his limited options had been obvious, announcing to his friends of the girlfriend he'd been keeping tucked away for several months.
Now, however, with the way they were gaping at him, Peter re-evaluated whether he had truly made the correct decision.
Flash, who'd finally been able to catch his breath, with dried up tears of laughter streaking across his cheeks, wheezed, "You. Penis Parker. Are dating the most influential teenager in North America according to TIME Magazine, with an IQ to rival her father's, model and heir to Stark Industries, Y/N Stark?"
Peter once again winced, internally debating whether or not he should give you a call as he responded, "Y-yes?"
"Peter. You're kidding.", Betty whispered, wide-eyed at the thought of her friend keeping such an insanely large secret from them...if it was the truth. Just the interviewing opportunities made her head spin and the journalist inside of her was- holy shit. Their Peter Parker was dating Y/N Stark?! That was insane. Practically impossible?
“Oh yeah? Ok. Then how’d you meet her, hotshot?”, Flash smirked cockily, as if he had just checkmated him, convinced his question was going to force Peter to confess the truth about his “lie.”
Before Peter could even exhale his sigh of exhaustion, Jason interrupted, “Dude, not that I don’t believe you or anything and no offense but . . . how did you bag her?”
Cindy who had been watching the entire debacle from the sidelines so far simply nodded her head, wide-eyed and a bit confused on how this could possibly be her reality.
Sally, insulted on Peter’s behalf, pitched up, “Hey! Pete’s a catch.”
Offering a weak smile to the girl, Peter had just muttered, “Thank you, Sals”, as the echo of the doorbell made its way into the living room. Saved by the bell, indeed.
Dusting himself as he made his way towards the entrance, he could hear Ned defending his honor as Peter fiddled with lock, face freezing in shock when the entryway fully came into view.
Before him, you stood in his stolen Midtown High hoodie, hands sweetly clasped over your comfy stark industries pajama pants as you smiled up at him. The hood had been pulled over your messy hair in your attempts to avoid unwanted attention from the press, the drawstrings tied into a little makeshift bow and strands of stray hair sticking out from the circumference of the fabric surrounding your face. You looked absolutely adorable and silly and perfect to Peter’s fogged mind. Mind stuttering on how to decode this situation as he attempted to make some form of noise to greet you, he couldn’t think straight. 
Swaying on the balls of your feet and tilting your head warmly, you leaned forward to place a greeting peck onto his lips, hands unclasping and encircling his waist as you patiently took in his frozen state, “You gonna let me in or do you have a secret exhibitionist kink you’ve been keeping locked up which we need to discuss? Cause y’know- I’m up for anything but the paparazzi will have a field day once they figure out how much of a slut I am for my father’s intern-”
The pin-drop silence from his living room startled Peter into moving, covering your mouth with his palm as he choked a little at what you had just unwillingly said in front of all his friends, words finally processing into his distress blurred brain. He knew that he just told the team about you but he didn’t think of introducing you to them for at least a few more weeks down the road. Once they’d calmed down, gotten over their fangirling and actually believed him. Fuck.
You’d immediately picked up on your boyfriend’s anxious stance but much like your father, your solution to most situations revolved around teasing and humor, your words now muffled as you went on, “Like- could you imagine the headlines? Y/N STARK IS SLEEPING WITH HER FATHER’S INTERN?!? Y/N STARK’S WORLDWIND OFFICE ROMANCE: SEDUCTION THROUGH SCIENCE! Ooh- wait no, I quite like the second one-”
“What are you doing here?”
You frowned at Peter. That was the first thing he was going to say to you? Bringing his hand down and pressing a kiss to his knuckles, you questioned more seriously, “Is everything alright? MJ invited me over? Said that you guys and Ned were just hanging out if I wanted to join. I’m sorry, I should’ve asked first. I just assumed that-”
“Nononono no don’t apologize, stop. MJ’s just a little shit. She didn’t tell me she’d invited you over so I was . . . surprised.”, Peter’s voice dropped into a whisper, “It’s also not just…us and Ned. The rest of the friend group is in the living room right now and they just found out that I was dating you but they didn’t really believe me but now . . . well.”
You blinked, “Oh. Oh. So they heard me-”
Peter nodded. Your face flushed as you winced and buried your face in between Peter’s pecs, him failing to hide his smile as he stifled a laugh at your embarrassment. 
Now that the terror of the situation had faded away, he couldn’t help but find endless amusement in it. Though the interaction between you and the AcaDec group was much faster than he’d initially wanted, it was still something that he’d hoped for deeply. These two parts of his life finally merging filled him with so much joy, simply even imagining you getting along with his friend causing his cheeks to ache from the smile that would bloom. 
Letting you whine for a few more seconds, he gently dragged you into the apartment, kicking the door shut with his foot as he pulled down your hood. Untying the drawstrings to let them fall freely, he then proceeded to fluff out your hair, observing closely as your face melted in pleasure just like he predicted. 
Pressing a kiss, he whispered, “Come on, you’ve got to meet them now. That was quite the introduction.” 
Gently peeking your head past the curve of the hallway which kept you hidden from their view, you were first met with MJ’s smirk. Pointing a finger at her as Peter came up behind you, you flipped her off before addressing everyone else with a small wave, “Hi, Peter’s AcaDec group!”
The PR voice you’d automatically slipped into couldn’t be helped but you knew that it would take you a few more interactions for the real you to make an appearance. Maybe a few NDAs as well just as a precaution.
The few stunned moments of continued silence before it burst into squeals of shock and unfiltered questions made you laugh a little as you gently approached the circle and plopped yourself next to Ned, Peter taking a seat next to you as the group continued to hyperventilate. 
“Am I dreaming?”, whispered Charles to himself, his idol sitting merely a few feet away from him. Jason and Betty let out their own garbled hums of acknowledgement to their friend’s identical shock. This was every nerd’s dream. Y/N Stark was an inspiration in the technological advancements field, everything she’d contributed to the innovation of Stark Industries was just- insanity. Charles was going insane. He had to be.
Flash, deciding that this was the perfect time to shoot his shot with Peter’s girlfriend, smugly leaned forward and asked, “Hey baby, wanna grab a drink sometime in my Ferrari? I’m sure you’re sick of that dweeb by now.”
You blinked. Wrinkling your nose at him, you hummed, “. . . Flash, right?”
His confident nod made you continue, “I’ve uh- heard a lot about you-”
“All good things, I’m sure.”
“No, actually! A lot of it was how you bullied the love of my life for several years.”, you smiled, the smirk falling off his face extremely satisfying, “I don’t know about all your previous partners or if you even ever had any but I really don’t think showing off your wealth is the smartest move to my heart seeing where I come from. I like to think that I’m grounded and quite humble so I hate pulling out that card but I think it’s necessary to put you in your place. Also- did you say I was sick of him? Peter Parker? He’s one of the most genuinely caring and interesting people I’ve met in a long time . . . I’m sorry but like did you just choose to ignore how I said I was a slut for him 2 minutes ago? I-”
Ned’s giggles of happiness broke you out of your tangent as he leaned over to give you a hug, “God, I missed you so much. Peter’s been keeping you from us for too long. I just think he’s jealous of our intense chemistry.”
“Oh no, for sure.”, you nodded as you tilted your head to watch your boyfriend roll his eyes and attempt to hide his smile.
“We are . . . so sorry for him, oh my god.”, Cindy exhaled breathily, “You’re just- wow. You’re so brilliant and gorgeous and the interview where you explained your thinking for the future of SI’s place in the medical field was amazing to watch. I am such a big fan.”
You smiled warmly, “Apology accepted, haha. And you’re gorgeous too! Holy shit, if Peter wasn’t here-”
Peter jokingly whacked the back of your head, “Stop flirting with all my friends.”
You let out a small laugh as you raised your hands up in defeat, “Sorry, my dad’s genes, you know? No, but seriously, thank you! I’m sure you’re incredibly smart too if everything I’ve heard is true and your involvement in Academic Decathlon really speaks for itself.”
Cindy practically melted into a pile of goop next to the sofa as Flash opened his mouth again, “Are you sure-”
Rubbing your fingers into your temples, you sighed jokingly as the rest of the group turned to start yelling at him, making you burst into a grin as Peter and Ned erupted into their own little fit of laughter.
Maybe one interaction was enough for you to feel content with them. They’d certainly need at least three to get over their celebrity infatuation but…you settled into the nook of Peter’s shoulder, you could see yourself with this group laughing nights away for several more years to come.
And plus, Flash would provide the perfect entertainment if things ever got a little too boring. Though you doubt that that would be the case with all the banter and teasing you’d be witnessing in the next several hours.

Okay, great! So basically, this crossover pairing is between Minnie Mouse and Lola Bunny. Now, i know they both got canon partners, but this is in an alternate universe were they never got with Mickey and Bugs or have and it just didn't work out. I feel like they'd have a bit of a Roger and Jessica Rabbit dynamic with Lola being a very sensual character dating her very flustered and more cartoony like girlfriend, Minnie. Also Minerva Mink and Marvin the Martian vibes, if you're familiar with those two characters and the ship about them, tho Minnie isn't much like Marvin in terms of personality.
Oh my gosh! I'm a complete sucker for tall x short couple dynamics. I also love crossovers, so I throw canon to the wind.
I love this because I already ship Mickey and Bugs! 
2. I also remember that Pinky and the Brain episode where Minerva Mink and Marvin Martian were on a date, so I ship them too!
Alright, Anon, from what you've given me about this ship, all I can say is that I abso-freaking-lutely love it! They're adorable!
Minnie and Lola do work like Jessica and Roger and Minerva and Marvin in their own subtle ways. I feel like their personalities mesh really well together, and they make a very cute and sweet couple.
If we're talking about Space Jam 1996 Lola (the best Lola, in my opinion) and the classic 1980s-early 2000s Minnie Mouse, then they're a perfect match!
They also remind me of Betty Boop x Sally Swing, Kitty Softpaws x Dulcinea, and Velma Dinkley x Sally "Thorn" McKnight for some reason lol.
Thanks for the ship question Anon, I'll probably make a moodboard of this ship soon. 
I'm also down to talk more about this ship. ;3

Take Wyatt Earp as a biopic and it is a superb and fair film. Compare it to Tombstone which was more of a Western and it’s lacking the flair. However, it ends abruptly, and it is miscast. Cosner (and i am a fan) doesn’t really make a good Earp. Dennis Quaid who I am also a fan of, doesn’t make a good Doc. This was 1994, in the 80s I might have a dif...

Betty waited patiently for Sally to get dolled up, taking the opportunity to touch up her own makeup as well. When the blonde finally emerged from the bathroom, she grinned and looped her arm around hers once more.
“Great! I heard this new jazz club opened up recently and folks are sayin’ it’s the bees knees--Blue Room I think it’s called.” She talked animatedly, leading the other woman out the building. “’Course, if you got a place in mind I’m all ears!”

“In season [four] when Betty and the kids move out of the Draper house, there's a scene where Sally is in this blue and grey plaid dress. That was a vintage dress that Sally wore. And then I designed a dress for Betty that's blue and grey plaid, and there's a scene where Betty goes up to Sally's bed and lays in it wearing that dress. It's so beautiful. I love that they mimic each other and it's such a beautiful pairing between Sally and Betty, and really how Betty is almost childlike when she goes up to Sally's room. I love those costume moments of Mad Men when it all works out and aligns.” — Costume designer Janie Bryant

MJ knows - she - no, that's not quite right. Is - they? She doesn't -
MJ is figuring things out. She they - MJ is figuring things out.

A fascinating take on MJ’s gender identity. Bonus for tooth-rottingly sweet polyamory.

the ties that bind
Summary : Sally contemplates her parents’ relationship. (drabble.)
Fandom : Mad Men
Characters : Sally Draper
Notes : this was apparently written three years ago and never finished. (set post-finale.)
Gene doesn’t have any of the hang ups Sally and Bobby do about Don and Betty. He’s only known them in their later years - all of their edges worn and weathered, trying to be better parents. 
In the beginning, Sally used to try and eavesdrop on their conversations. There was one time Betty was elbows deep in dishes, humming that damn coke commercial jingle. She watched Betty finish the dishes and return to her books laid out on the dining room table. Betty only stopped humming once she sat down with the phone and lit a cigarette.
“I thought you should know I could not get that jingle out of my head.”
Don is the only person that makes her mother forget her Emily Post manners. Your father knows he doesn’t deserve any of my pleasantries, Sally, now please stop snooping. its not ladylike.
This is what she hates (and why she ultimately stopped listening to them) because whatever he said makes Betty smile. Its the smile Sally has seen in their wedding pictures, the picture he used to keep in his wallet, the one on his desk in his office, Betty smiling adoringly, lovingly ugh... before she says, “I am drinking wine so your experiment did not work.”
There’s another pause and a smile. “We don’t keep cola in the house.” (They do.)
“You’re only asking about your kids so you can ask them if I am lying.”
Betty smiled into the phone again and called for Gene. Sally doesn’t bother sticking around. He’ll tell her everything later anyway. (It’s the last conversation she’ll intentionally listen in on.)
