01. new party member ┊ ┊⋆ beyond the stars
tw// very brief mention of weapons (pistol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After the battle with Steely Dan, the crusaders all went to a dinner out. You followed them throughout the day, it was hard to watch honestly. You weren’t close with Steely Dan but it’s hard to watch someone you spent your time around getting beat up by some high schooler. After they were seated in the restaurant, you snuck in through the side entrance and sat at a table adjacent to them. You glance at Joseph, then Kakyoin, then Polnareff, and you land on Jotaro and space out.
What can I do to get their attention and keep it without provoking a fight?
Tumblr media
You notice the window shining light on the back of Polnareff’s and Jotaro’s heads. You look around to see if one of your colleagues were around. This was about to be embarrassing. Already been wearing solid black, you looked like an employee at the restaurant. Confidently, you approach the table.
“Hello my good sirs, some entertainment before your meal?” You say with a bow. Joseph grumbles a “wha” and looks awkwardly to Jotaro. You use your stand to summon a coin behind Jotaro’s ear quickly. “Eh?” You say, pretending to hope for their approval for a false magic act.
God this hurts me so deeply.
“Ooh! Do it again, I want to see how you do it.” Polnareff says with glee. He’s so easily entertained. Kakyoin looks at him with an eyebrow raise and a glare from jotaro. “What?” You chuckle at their reactions.
Let’s take it up a notch.
“It’s just the” You materialize a deck of cards behind Polnareff’s ridiculous hairdo. “slight of hand.” He stares with an amused smile. “How’s a pretty girl like you do a dumb trick like that anyways?” He attempts to flirt. “Oh, a dumb trick?” You say with a mocking, yet cocky tone. “Shall I continue?” You shuffle the cards in your hands. Joseph looks at you with a stern look. You can tell he’s readying himself for any potential threat. “Thank you, but there is no need.”
“Ah I see.” You deal a card to each member at the table. The sun’s beams shine perfectly on the table. The cards shift to each member’s corresponding tarot card (An empty seat in front of you with the Magician, Jotaro with the Star, Kakyoin with the Heirophant, etc.) . “You’ve recently lacked a magician among your ranks.”
I hope I didn’t strike a nerve over Avdol, I kinda forgot Hol’s shot was fatal.
For the first time since your arrival, Jotaro doesn’t look entirely bored. You notice Heirophant slowly slither by your ankle. For security reasons, obviously. “Hey. What’s your deal lady?” Joseph questions you. “Woah, I’m not looking for a fight. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is (y/n). My stand is Fly by Day. It utilizes light to create objects and also in some cases, like I showed you, light illusions. Basically, I saw you beat the crap out of Steely Dan today and if I’m correct he’s one of Dio’s cohorts? Dio kidnapped my mother a while back, I haven’t seen her since. I don’t know her fate and honestly, I’m scared to know. I assume you’re working to stop his forces right? So I want in. He’ll pay for what he’s done.”
It’s not technically a lie. I hate him for whatever he may have done to my mom. He did in fact kidnap her. I have not seen her since. Not sure about the paying for what he’s done.
“And what do you bring to the table?” Jotaro questions in an unamused tone.
“Whatever you might need.” You create a small pistol and a bottle of water one after the other in your hands and set them on the table. You then create and set an American fifty dollar bill down (your home currency, something you’re very familiar with) which you slide toward Joseph. He inspects it for counterfeit. “Mr. Joestar, with all due respect, can we bring a girl on our trip?” Polnareff questions. “Well, her stand would be practical, we do a lot of daytime travel, which would grant her time to create a lot of things, and you wouldn’t have to buy cameras anymore, Mr. Joestar.” Kakyoin glances at you with a small smile. You offer one back.
If I make it out alive and he doesn’t I’m gonna kill Dio, he actually seems nice.
Joseph pockets the 50 and says “Eh, what the hell, welcome to the group!” You take a seat as the cards vanish. Conveniently timed, the waiters come and serve dinner.
little bonus!!

First of all Willi is gorgeous.
And now to my little ramble... it's the eye contact for me and the parted lips and the small eyebrow raise which you can barely see but I see it all too well! The way he dropped his gaze to his lips... He looks hazed and and lost in Focuses eyes or actually his presence, he is so I love with Focus and you can really see even if they have like 2 minutes of screen time all together
Focus not breaking the eye contact while having the biggest smile on his face. Tell me you are whipped without telling me you are whipped... and that small and slow blink... I can't do this
Tumblr media
I know that Willi can kiss but I still had to pause when he kissed Focus because damn boy... I never kissed anyone so I won't talk about kisses much but that FELT deep! If I'm being honest Willi probably has one of the best kisses in Thao bl industry I said what I said
Tumblr media
Between that hand that was on Focuses neck that moved to his leg and that other hand on his back I don't know which one is driving me more insane... Or perhaps it's the the fact that Focus is actually sitting on his lap??? Or or the fact that Focus had to groud himself by putting his hand on the wall???????
Tumblr media
This one is just a gif I have nothing to say about it I have so much to say but I can't put it to words
Tumblr media
Just gonna say holy shit Focus... But also his abs.. he looks amazing which isn't a surprise if his partner is Willi who love gym. I also wish we got more of this cut because Willi was about to put his head on his tiny waist and I just love seeing that
Tumblr media
My God Willi that hand of your... that had is... from touching the lower belly to climbing up to his shoulder and back... there is something just so attractive about it and it's making me go insane. I am also not sure why they made Willi so wet they just started the activity he shouldn't be sweaty already but who am I to complain Willi looks even better
Tumblr media
THE BITING?!?!?!?! THE BITING?!?!?! He was insane for that and I love it even more but not only the tiddies but the collarbone later...
Tumblr media
I wasn't gonna include this gif but I had to when I rewatched it. The fuck me eyes Focus is giving and the parted breathless lips but also the moment he felt that Willi will pull him in he was ready.. Parting his lips even more and closing his eyes even before their lips touched. And the strong pull that Willi did on the back of his head which took him by surprise by what I see... I am not sure if that hand flying to Willis upper hand was scripted or not but to me it's more like Focus was trying to find balance after the neck pull...
Tumblr media
Now this part was actually amazing, Focus being breathless and throwing his head back as Willi is kissing his way down?! And Focus flexing and moving away from Willi's lips????? That is some amazing acting! It's so realistic
Tumblr media
And finally the collarbone biting while Focus has his hand pulling on Willi's hair and then Willi getting ready for another kiss... damn I was so not prepared but I enjoyed it. Willi can deliver amazing NC scenes hopefully this post won't get reported I spent over am hour on making this post

Jaxwas sitting on a bench downtown his shakey hands trying to get a smashed up phone to work. There was a bruise on his face and a pair of crutches next to him, one of them bent nearly in half. There were tear streaks on his face as well
As call approached Cal could sense something was off, the boy wasn't human
(For Cal)
Cal froze in the middle of the walkway. Most people talk about fight or flight, but all he could do was stare at this boy crying over the device in his hands. It didn't feel angelic or demonic in nature, and Cal just couldn't decide if that was actually better or worse for him. Before he knew it, he'd been standing in the middle of the walking path, staring at this seemingly normal boy, for far too long to be normal.

Meep, hello! Been thinking about how crossover VLD/DotU Lotura would react to one another and your Beyond the Stars story came to mind, and while I love how DotU Allura immediately befriended VLD Lotor bc he’s so polite and diplomatically inclined, I can’t help but wonder - how do you think DotU Lotor would react to VLD Allura?
Like yes, she has the same temperament and righteous ambition, but unlike her counterpart she’s also so freaking powerful. Of course he would admire her, but would he also feel threatened? And how would she handle his abrasive behavior, since she could easily match him physically?
Anyway, I was just curious. Love your writing and hoping to hear your thoughts!
Ahhhhhh!
Aaaaaaaahhhh!!
(First of all, thank you, thank you, I'm so delighted you enjoyed that story so much - it started off as a silly crack piece that wasn't supposed to be serious, but ended up creating its own actual story.)
Second-- FUN FACT - I too, have wondered that same thing, and have a Part 2 started. I genuinely don't know if this will end up as a story in full, but I very, VERY much wanted to see what DotU Lotor and VLD Allura would do when they met.
Ahem - since it may end up being a sequel story at some point, and it's a little long, I'll drop it under the cut. But, here we go 👇👇
“What is this, Princess?”
“I believe the boys call it popcorn.  It’s something from Earth,” the princess gowned in pink explained, passing the striped bin between her palms to the Galtean emperor beside her.  “It’s good to see you again,” she added with a warm smile.
The strange man from beyond the rift smiled calmly down at her, clawed hands accepting the strange offering of food.
“Our paladins often bring strange delicacies as well.  I’m surprised they haven’t mentioned anything like this. I must ask them,” he conceded, popping a fluffed kernel into his mouth.  “It appears my advice has served you well,” he added, blue irises sliding to glance down to the blushing blonde beside him.
“I won’t say we haven’t had our differences, but yes.  I… shortly after you left, I corralled my courage and spoke directly with Prince Lotor.  We negotiated a cease-fire, and I agreed to offer to help him take his throne.  You were right.  About everything,” she added with a blush.
“And now you are his queen,” he observed in between bites of popcorn.
Allura’s shoulders rolled in a shrug and she gestured to their surroundings.
“It seemed natural.  It took… quite a while to prepare for the strike against King Zarkon, by the time we finally succeeded, we had become close enough that… well, at least I realized I didn’t want to just stay friends.  Or simply allies.  And now here we are, Castle Doom,” she grinned cheerfully up at him, in stark contrast to the gloomy surroundings.
The Emperor wordlessly popped another kernel past his lips, studying her quietly.
“Your husband has a curious taste in decor,” he murmured, his eyes leaving hers as he swept their surroundings, taking in the vast number of empty seats in the coliseum.
The two sat alone alone atop the pedestal marked for royalty, the only spectators to the match below.  The two competitors were none other than their very own partners.
Allura winced as a silver haired-woman hurled her husband across his own coliseum.
“...He’s going to feel that tomorrow,” she murmured, reaching over to steal a handful of popcorn from the emperor’s hands.
“It does indeed leave a bruise,” he murmured, watching his counterpart stagger to his feet and charge back at the woman, a warcry echoing from his lips.
“Are you worried for her safety?”
Allura’s bright blue eyes flickered up to her friend.
“No,” he answered simply.  The statement of faith marked as the warrior woman quickly dispatched her challenger effortlessly.  “Are you worried about him?”
“A little.  I had no idea there was an Allura of such strength on your side of the rift,” she murmured in awe.
Lotor dragged himself to his feet and glared angrily at his opponent.
“He’s certainly determined,” the emperor observed.
Allura coughed before popping a piece of popcorn past her lips.
“You have no idea,” she groaned, drawing a soft chuckle from him. “I’m pleased you’ve returned,” she added.  “It’s been fascinating to meet her.”
“It was very much her idea.  Not,” he paused, his eyes popping wide as he realized the implication and he quickly corrected himself.  “Not that I didn’t wish to return and thank you myself, but she was the one who spearheaded the research to figure out how to control the rift technology once I explained what had happened.”
“It’s such a relief to know it worked.  I had no way of knowing, on my side.  You know, that you had made it, or that she had found you.”
Galtean eyes glanced down at her and he could only exhale for a moment.
“Oh my stars,” she muttered after a moment, her hands covering her lips when Lotor landed on his backside, only to glare across the stadium.  “Please just give up,” she whispered to herself.
“Do you think he will?”
Allura returned his curious look with a flat one.
“Absolutely not.  At some point I’m going to have to go down there and drag him away before he gets a concussion,” she grumbled.  With a huff, she crossed her arms over her chest. 
“They aren’t so bad.”
Allura’s eyes popped wide as his words, coupled with his prior statement, clicked in her mind.  Slowly, she turned her gaze up to the calm man beside her; so vastly different than the one she called her husband.
“Has… did she…?”
A grin split across his lips.
“We had a slight disagreement about something.”
“Are you alright?”
His eyes widened in genuine surprise as he stared down at her in surprise, touched by her concern.  He studied her expression for any trace of derision or jest and found none.
He swallowed.
“I am now, yes,” he answered honestly.
Allura’s worry melted into delight, another cloudbreaking smile splitting across her features.
“Good,” she praised, looking away from him to regard the combat of wills on display below.
Slowly, Lotor returned his attention to the spectacle as well.
“After this, could we…”  He trailed off, hesitant to ask for such favors from his host.
“Would you like to return to Altea?”  Allura grinned, not even needing to hear the rest of his request.  “We wouldn’t even be here if King Lotor hadn’t challenged the Empress to an Honor Duel,” she added dryly.  “Of course he would want to do it here.”
He exhaled weakly beside her.
“...I like the aesthetic of your Castle of Lions better.”
Allura erupted in a fit of giggles.
“As do I,” she agreed.
“...Allura, I believe, would prefer Altea as well.  She… she couldn’t stop talking about it once I mentioned I had been to a place where it still existed.”
A strange mixture of both a warm happiness and a chilling dread settled across the queen’s heart.  While pleased she was able to offer such a thing to the Empress from beyond the stars, it was a chilling reminder that her planet - her people - in some places had not survived Zarkon’s warpath.
“Of course,” she said, her voice tight with emotion.
She blinked suddenly at the duel.
“Oh, this is finished,” she murmured, rising from her seat.  Gathering the folds of her pink and white gown, she bustled swiftly down the staircase toward the railing edging the wall of the pit.  “We concede,” she called out.
Lotor’s head snapped at the sound of her voice.
“I do not,” he called out.  “I’m not done!”
“Yes, yes you are,” she said delicately, smiling gently at her war-bred husband, her palms delicately folding on the railing.  He stared at her for a moment before looking back at the Empress staring at him coolly.
“I can’t lose to her!”
The queen stifled a giggle behind her hand and she shook her head once.
“You already have, Lotor.  I want to go home now,” she added with a pout.
Unable to deny the sunkissed woman anything she wanted, he exhaled and nodded once to his opponent.
“I… yield,” he ground out, the last word twisting in his throat as if it were something vile.
“Thank you.” 
Serpentine eyes flickered back to his wife as she spoke, extending her hand out toward him.  He wasted no time in mounting the wall to stand beside her.
“You were magnificent,” she praised when he only gave a disgruntled look over his shoulder at the silver-haired woman who scaled the wall to curl into the arms of her emperor.
“I lost,” he pouted.
Her fingers curled around the skull belt at his hips and tugged him closer.
“Yes, yes you did.  And that’s alright.  I want to go back to Altea.”
She turned and snaked her arm around his, leading him toward the other couple.
“The Emperor has requested a return to Altea, does that sit well with you, Empress?”
Allura tilted her head to the side as her elfin mirror glanced her way.
“You need not address me so formally,” she spoke, the lilt and cadence of her voice matching her husband’s.
“It seems strange to speak my own name, but, as you like, …Allura.”
“Thank you.  Come, I wish to explore this planet that is both so similar and yet so different from the one I grew up on.  I am pleased it exists still, at least somewhere in the universe.  In… a universe, I suppose.”
“Have you found other realities?  With other… people?  Like us?”
Brilliant blue eyes were riveted on her spirit sister in wonder, fascinated by the technology they had unearthed.
“We have not yet looked, though we suspect yes.  Lotor mentioned he’d left you the blueprints for the modulators… have you not… tried?”
Allura bit her bottom lip and she turned her gaze forward, continuing to glide side by side with the Empress, their partners trailing silently on their arms.
“I was a bit… intimidated by it.  Besides.  The rule was not until we had taken the Empire from Zarkon’s control.  This… peace across the galaxy now is very, very new.”
“My dear, I’ve been offering you the galaxy since I met you.”
The queen scowled at Lotor.
“Yes but I couldn’t trust you, with all your beastly mannerisms and conquering sprees.  What was I supposed to think?”
His nose wrinkled slightly in a scowl as the blonde turned her attention back to a smirking Empress.
“What?”
She didn’t reply to her blonde haired proxy, but instead swiveled her prismatic gaze to an equally bemused Emperor.
“They suit just as well as you predicted,” she murmured, eliciting a blush from the woman on her other side.
When her warlord husband only laughed triumphantly on her other side, her flushed deepened and she smacked his arm lightly.
“Hush,” she scolded. “We’re here.” She released the king’s arm and proudly strode up the ramp to the Altean ship that had brought them to Daibazaal in the first place mere hours ago.

~* Awake *~
The sounds of silence,
Of hollow echoes.
The empty rooms,
Of air and space.
Your face is vacant like an open passage,
As feelings of despair
Of the lost child in transit.
Life crashes in and rolls out the waves,
You must ride it they say,
For you are safe.
It hits and its crashes,
Til it gets you Awake,
Awake to where you are today.
Where have you been? You thought you once knew.
The unknown is all that is left to know.
Trust and faith are bridges to thee,
For your Life must Wake you,
For you to flee.
You pack her up and ready to go,
To return to the stars,
To where all hearts lead.
You Wake up now,
It's was never too late,
For life and destiny always awaits.
Your inner child gets out to play,
To finally see the break of day.
You see dear one,
Your sorrows knew,
That you have kept this child through.
To set your child free from within,
Is the key to your sanctuary,
And here it all begins...
- Jenny Mach

09. just something to think about┊ ┊⋆ beyond the stars
italicized text is your thoughts!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Five arduous hours later, your hand crafted dune buggy of a car was up and running. You only prayed that your father's extensive knowledge on cars he attempted to pass on to you was somewhat accurate.
Everyone toppled into the car, up until you yelled out "HOLD IT!" Everyone's heads snapped toward you, a look of concern decorated the men's faces.
"I want shotgun." Everyone let out a sigh of simultaneous relief and annoyance. "What? I made the damn car let me sit up front in it."
"Oh good grief. "
"You're gonna give this old man a heart attack!"
Polnareff got out of the shotgun and squeezed himself into the trunk, the only remaining space. For the first time in a while, an awkward silence settled in the back of the car, each occupant lost in their own thoughts and/or devices.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The hum of the engine seemed louder than usual, filling the void left by the absence of conversation, until Avdol broke the silence.
"So (y/n), tell me about your stand in full. I'm truly curious, especially since it's not aligned with the tarot."
You shifted uncomfortably in your seat, caught off guard by the sudden inquiry. "Uh, sure," you began, trying to gather your thoughts. "I named it after a song I liked. As for its power..."
As you delved into the description of your stand's abilities, Avdol listened intently, nodding along at certain points as he absorbed the information.
"So forgive me for asking, but how did you and Kakyoin end up together?" Avdol's question came out of left field, causing you to nearly choke on your own spit. You whipped your head around to gauge Kakyoin's reaction in the back, only to find him seemingly unfazed. "HA!" Polnareff chuckled from the trunk, enjoying the unexpected turn of events. Both Jotaro and Kakyoin had noise-canceling earbuds for car rides, much to your relief as you mentally thanked whatever divine force prevented Kakyoin from hearing the question.
"Oh, Mr. Avdol, Kakyoin and I aren't a couple," you clarified, trying to mask the discomfort in your voice.
I mean I wouldn't really mind. Even solidification of his feelings for me would be nice.
Avdol seemed taken aback, his brow furrowing in confusion. "Forgive me, I had just assumed over his gaze at you as he complimented Midler earlier on, as well as spending time together on the island."
You chuckled awkwardly, feeling the weight of the misunderstanding hanging in the air. "Yeah, I guess we do spend a bit of time together," you admitted, taking a sip of water to fill the uncomfortable silence that followed.
"I guess its just something to think about."
Mr. Joestar finally had caught up with the conversation after another minute or so. "Wait you and Kakyoin aren't a couple?!" You sighed and facepalmed as Polnareff continued to giggle to himself. You had returned to your devices until you reached your destination

Sneak Peak of my reworking the Goddess of War based off of this wonderful persons story “Beyond the Stars” ( @marvel-at-my-obsession ), and though at the moment discontinued, she was such a fun character to read! And I just had to begin drawing her!
Here’s me exploring the comic style even more, and as usual I obsess with hair. Finishing projects now so I can get to the coloring finally. Work had been back to back busy. So now I can finish personal stuff.
