Chance With You

Summary: It is hard to see beauty in everything. Especially after a life as a soldier who had witnessed so many of his fellow comrades’ and thousands of people’s death. But Hanji wears that word as an outfit every day. It is drawn aesthetically in the way her eye lights up despite everything, in the way she examines each living being she finds in the garden, in the way her curiosity never leaving her mind. She is neither a tree nor a bird. She is a forest; she has a universe and a variety of colours in her land. Beauty is a butterfly that has perched upon her shoulder and it never leaves her side.

notes: for the first part of this story I was kind of inspired by this ask. I highly recommend you to check that out as well also for Hanji's short hair see this post

A house, surrounded by some young, some old trees and green grass, with a little garden outside colourful with flowers, herbs and vegetables of different species. In the morning, the birds chirp just beyond his window, they welcome the new coming day with a melody in their tongue. The sun illuminates the sky brighter as if it had a mind of its own and it thought that a world after a gruesome war, painful sacrifices and unreasonable hatred deserves to shine more.

The familiar touch of warm fingers traces the line of scars on his face while he is still half-asleep, lying one side of his face buried on the pillow. The fingers move upwards to comb his hair back, then they slide downwards to his bare shoulders, to the space between his shoulder blades where old, pale wounds are inked permanently. Then a pair of lips are pressed on his temple, they are warm, and the touch is undeniably real. If it wasn’t, he would pray for it to go away, to disappear. Because if it wasn’t, ripping his heart out of its place would be less painful to open his eyes to the empty side of a twin bed.

“Morning, handsome.”

“Hmm,” he murmurs. Insomnia post-war still has its fair share of control over him. It is like a friend that he never intended to be close to, yet he is stuck with it inside the same cell in the same prison.

But Levi post-war had something else against it. Someone else, a third one in the cell to be accurate.

She presses her lips on his shoulder, and he half opens his right eye then shifts his head a little so that he can see her properly with his only functional, left one. Her dispersed, brown hair is the first thing that comes into his view. Then her eyes, one wounded like him and the other glittering with the daylight and her smile when she rests her head on her pillow.

“Hey,” he says with a rusty, morning voice.

Hanji reaches out with her hand to cup his cheek, her thumb caresses the scars again, goes over his blind eye then fixes his brow. “How romantic,” she sighs. “We match like broken glass.” Then her hand moves down to his undercut, her fingers warm on his rough, shaved skin. “Maybe I should get an undercut too.”

He touches the old scar on her left eye, and then her hair with his three remaining fingers. It is shorter than before, now it ends a little below her ear, curling on her nape. “It would suit you.”

“You think so?” she asks a mischievous smile shapes on the corner of her lips.

“Yeah,” he tries to suppress the smile, but his lips move slightly, nonetheless.

“Armin and Onyankopon will come for a visit today,” Hanji says.

“For what?”

“They said they had something to show us,” she shrugs one shoulder. “And that it was a surprise.”

Levi cannot think of anything. Nor his or Hanji’s birthday are close, or any holiday is on sight. Levi wonders if it is Gabi and Falco’s doing. Though as far as he knew they were away, travelling.

He raises himself on one elbow and gets his face closer to her neck to press his lips on her skin. “How much time do we have?” he murmurs as he puts his right arm next to her head to balance himself and intertwines their fingers with his other hand while leaving another kiss to her jaw.

“I don’t know,” she sighs as he kisses the sensitive skin under her ear. “An hour or so, I guess.”

“Good enough,” he whispers and finally catches her lips with his own.

“Good morning, Captain,” Armin greets him when he steps inside the kitchen. He wears a black suit; his hair is combed neatly, and he carries himself with a maturity the war he had to face so early in his life and his age has brought about. There are no traces of the insecure, irresolute boy upon him any more. But his smile and the shiny blue eyes are still the same.

“Morning,” he responds as Onyankopon and Hanji follows Armin into the kitchen. They all gather around the kitchen table. He is not a captain or anything anymore, but he lets it slide whenever Armin or one of the other kids call him that. It feels nostalgic and works well as a reminder that everything that had happened wasn’t a daydream or a shitty nightmare but an unfortunate reality.

“How do you feel, Levi-san?” Onyankopon asks, sitting across from him. He too wears a suit, a light grey one and has a matching bowler hat on his head.

“Not bad,” he says sipping from his tea.

Hanji serves their visitors two cups of tea then sits down next to him. “He actually means, I feel very good and I’m glad to be fucking alive, Onyankopon. Thanks for asking, what about you?”

Armin hides a silent chuckle behind his fist, pretending to be coughing while Onyankopon smiles and even laughs quietly. “I’m great, thank you.”

“Good,” Hanji beams.

“Stop translating me,” Levi says, glaring at her. “We speak the same fucking language.”

“Yes, we do,” she approves then adds, raising her brows with a knowing look. “But they don’t.”

“Tch,” he grunts and then sees the two younger men watching them with a weird expression on their faces. Half smiling, half questioning. His body tenses without control, and he grips the arm of the wheelchair. “Armin,” he decides to ask, just to be sure. “Do you see Hanji here?”

The blond boy blinks in confusion and stares at Hanji for a few seconds. “Yes, of course, Captain. She sits next to you.”

“Right,” he sighs.

A hand slides slowly on his back, drawing circles on top of his shirt. It immediately does its magic. His strained body relaxes under her touch. “No need to be confused,” Hanji explains, and Levi doesn’t look at her, but he just knows that she is smiling. “He is just making sure that I’m not a ghost and he hasn’t gone batshit crazy.”

Levi nor approves or rejects this accusation as he quietly proceeds to drink his tea. No one plans a murder out loud.

“Well,” Onyankopon starts, he sounds a little nervous and when Levi looks at him, he sees that his expression is also the same. “Don’t worry, Levi-san. She is as real as the greys in your hair.”

The hand on his back stops its movements, Armin freezes with the teacup half lifted to his mouth, his eyes are wide and terrified and for several seconds nobody even dares to fucking breathe.

Levi feels Hanji’s body shaking. He knows she is trying to suppress her laughter. Onkankopon opens his mouth, ready to explain himself. “I didn’t—”

“It’s okay,” Levi cuts in. “They both mean that I’m still fucking alive.”

They go outside after breakfast to see what Armin and Onyankopon came here today for. Levi had only been getting used to the midday sun dazzling his vision when he heard Hanji shrieking with joy and excitement.

“Is it what I think it is?” She exclaims bending over a black thing that he had likened to a wheelchair. He doesn’t understand the reason why she is so thrilled over it.

Onyankopon joins Hanji to explain the gadget while Armin stays next to him. “The hell is that?”

“It is a special wheelchair, Captain,” Armin explains. “Hanji-san had told us that you were sick of being pushed everywhere and we had been thinking about a solution. It took a while though,” he says sheepishly. “We’ve been kind of busy. But it’s finally completed and ready to be used.”

“This was her idea?” Levi asks, watching the excitement radiating through her body. Especially her eyes are shining even brighter than the sun hanging on top of their heads.

“Well, kind of.” Hanji sits on the wheelchair, curious idiot, and presses upon some things on the arm of the chair then screams when the thing suddenly moves forward on its own. Levi blinks his eyes, surprised. “I think she didn’t want you to feel like you were being a burden to her, so she didn’t directly ask for this, and to be honest I already had an idea in my mind when she had talked to me. So, yeah, this happened.”

Levi continues to watch Hanji who is moving forwards, backwards and to the left and right. Laughing and smirking like a child in an amusement park. “It’s amazing!” she yells. “Armin, you are a genius!”

The boy laughs and clears his throat seemingly embarrassed. “I’m glad you liked it, Hanji-san.”

“Levi!” she jumps up, and walking to where he is, she catches his hands. “Come on, you have to try it!”

She helps him get up from his wheelchair. “You know I can still walk on my own, right, four-eyes?” It takes quite an effort though, but he can.

“Don’t ruin my only excuse to touch you in public, shorty,” Hanji replies as they take slow steps towards the other, more technological wheelchair.

“You don’t need an excuse to touch me,” he says.

“Oww,” she coos. “How sweet of you—”

“Because I don’t want to be touched,” he goes on as he sits down. “In public.”

“Cruel, old man,” Hanji mutters, shaking her head.

“I’m not old, I’m only in my forties,” he objects, glaring at her. “Stop acting as if I’m a walking funeral.”

“Yes, of course, grandpa,” Hanji pats his head and Levi slaps it away.

Hanji and Armin quickly show him how the thing works and apparently it doesn’t require much of a genius to understand. He pushes upon the buttons hesitantly at first, moving only inches here and there as the three of them watch him expectantly and with an annoying curiosity. It is actually quite useful, at least he won’t need Hanji to push him whenever he wants to go out for some fresh air or he won’t need to overuse his arms. It is also more comfortable, and there is even a place on the arm to put his teacup.

“Did you like it?”

Levi looks up to see them expecting his answer. Hanji was the one to ask the question, yet it is obvious that the other two are also waiting to hear what he has to say. “Yeah,” he says causing them to take a huge sigh of relief. “Thanks.”

“I’m so happy to hear that you liked it.” Onyankopon smiles and Armin nods.

“Come on now, take a stroll.” Hanji claps her hands excitedly. “Let’s see what this baby is capable of.”

Levi had been planning to just do that. There is enough space in the yard to test the machine properly. However, before he sets on to do what Hanji has offered, he looks into her eye, intensely enough for her to frown and her expression to change into confusion. Armin and Onyankopon had already started to talk with each other and are too much preoccupied to realise what is going on. So, with that bringing him more courage, he brings one hand down and pats his knee.

She is quite surprised and a little embarrassed as a cute flush colour her cheeks and she laughs nervously, combing her hair behind her ear with one hand. “Okay.”

“Have you put on weight?” Levi questions when Hanji sits down between his knees and curls her knees to her stomach. She secures herself by putting her feet next to his leg.

“Shut up,” she chides him and wraps an arm around his neck.

He holds her by the waist with his left arm, just in case. “Ready?”

She nods and sends him a toothy grin. “Always.”

Levi presses upon the button and they move forward. There is no hesitation in his control as the machine goes faster this time, stumbling when the wheels go over some rocks or little bumps on the lawn. Hanji is ecstatic. The wind ruffles her short hair, eyes wide and lips parted slightly. It is hard to see beauty in everything. Especially after a life as a soldier who had witnessed so many of his fellow comrades’ and thousands of people’s death. But Hanji wears that word as an outfit every day. It is drawn aesthetically in the way her eye lights up despite everything, in the way she examines each living being she finds in the garden, in the way her curiosity never leaving her mind. She is neither a tree nor a bird. She is a forest; she has a universe and a variety of colours in her land. Beauty is a butterfly that has perched upon her shoulder and it never leaves her side.

“Why have you stopped?” Hanji asks, and only then does he realize that they aren’t moving anymore and that he had been staring at her thinking how fucking lucky he is to have this, this thing which is called love.

Rather than answering, he holds her nape and brings her face closer, resting her forehead against his. Then closes his eyes and inhales the smell of the soap they share together, and the odour of the tea leaves still fresh on her breath.

He feels the moment her body melts, as her fingers touch his neck, and her thumb caresses his cheek. “You okay?”

“Yeah,” he says. “Just checking.”

She laughs quietly, then leans in for a brief, soft kiss on his lips ignoring the fact that they are being watched by two of their former subordinates. Levi uses that moment to press on one of the buttons which quickly swirls the wheelchair to the right with a sudden movement. The kiss is over in a second as Hanji yelps then laughs heartily tilting her head backwards. The sun shines on her skin, and a butterfly flies around her head, fluttering its wings.

And despite all those years that had passed, and despite the places, they had seen during the last few years Levi is still positive that it is the best fucking sound this crocked world has to offer.

That was just a dream.

Levi stirs and blinks his eyes open, then almost immediately winces at his stiff neck. Curses at himself as he lifts up a hand to massage the skin. He had fallen asleep on the couch again with the TV open. His mother would’ve killed him if she were here. Good thing he had moved away for his job. He is still too young for this shit.

Accepting the fact that he has to deal with a stiff neck for the rest of the day he sits up reaching for the remote control.

That was just a dream, says Michael Stipe on the TV. The clip is almost over and the song fades. Just a dream.

He turns it off.

It is almost five in the morning and there is not even a drop of sleep left in his system. He walks to the bathroom yawning and stretching his body. His neck and shoulders crackle and he wrinkles his face. “Goddamn.”

He washes his hands on the sink and then his face, getting rid of the crust around his eyes. After that, he uses a towel to dry his face, and when the towel covers the right side of his face and his right eye, and he stares before him to the mirror he stops.

Bits and pieces of strange images slide inside of his head, a man around his forties who is sitting on a wheelchair, a blind eye, a scar running up and down one side of his face, a woman with short hair and bright eyes, a house with a garden, the sound of genuine laughter, the feeling of—

He drops the towel to the side of the sink and breathes heavily. His fingers touch the smooth skin on his face absentmindedly and he stares at his reflection. And his, thankfully still functioning blue eyes stare at him back, like they have no idea what the hell is going on. He checks his right hand to see all of his fingers are in place. Then he bends a little and slaps his leg, taps his foot on the ground for good measure.

“Huh,” he murmurs then. “Weird.”

Shaking his head, he settles on the idea that whatever he had seen was just a bizarre albeit a little too much realistic dream and sends it away to the back of his mind. Although he realizes that after remembering it, he feels somehow lighter. It is similar to the feeling one gets when the winter quietly recedes, and the trees start to give life to little flowers. That feeling of being lightweight and carefree even if it is just for a little while.

He takes a shower.

When he sits back down on the couch after the shower with a cup of tea in his hand, he opens his laptop to deal with some unread emails piled up in his inbox. He leaves the tea on the coffee table, next to his phone and puts away the towel he had been using to dry his hair.

Minutes later, when he reaches for the cup, he catches the moment his phone lighting up with a new notification.

Are you awake? The text says.

Taking the phone in his hands he taps, what do you think?

It takes only a second for his phone to start ringing. “Hey,” he opens the call. “Couldn’t sleep?”

“I’ve only just woken up,” she says but her voice sounds clear, dispersed of the sleepy roughness like she had been awake for a while. “Had a dream.”

“Bad one?” he asks as he takes a sip from his tea, his eyes scanning his laptop screen.

“Well, not really but kind of.” A pause, like she is lost in thought, then she adds. “I saw you.”

Levi hums, approvingly. “Naked?”

She lets out a loud, heartfelt laugh. “Oh my God, Levi. No,” she giggles breathlessly. “It wouldn’t be a bad dream if you were naked, you know.”

“Right,” he chuckles. “What was it then?”

“It was weird.” She stops again for a few seconds. “Like really weird.”

“You should tell me first if you want me to believe you, Hanji,” he says, not quite seriously.

She sighs. Then there is another pause which is relatively longer. Levi knits his brows and sits a little more upright. Something is wrong.

“What is it—”

“You were sitting on a wheelchair,” Hanji spills eventually, and the words die on his tongue. “And there were scars on your face. They were like war scars like you were once a soldier, a veteran. And—and you looked peaceful but also a little sad too. I don’t know. You were also older. Then there were two young people with you and a tall man. I don’t really remember their faces. I think you were travelling, you looked like tourists though I am not so sure but I-" she breaths fast, she hasn’t stopped talking for a while. “I wasn’t there.”

“Hanji,” he manages to say, despite the fact that he feels like he is choking in his own breath.

“It felt so wrong,” she goes on with a thin, frail voice. “I remember how I felt in the dream. I wanted to reach you, but I couldn’t, I tried to call out to you, but you didn��t hear. It was almost like… like I was a ghost. I was invisible. I was so desperate to just be with you and it felt so damn wrong that I wasn’t.”

“It was just a dream,” he whispers when he finds his voice. His body is frozen like he was paralyzed by something he had no control over.

“It felt so real.” He hears the tremble in her breath, and he notices how tight he had been holding the teacup. It is almost a miracle that it hadn’t been shattered to pieces yet.

“I had a dream too,” he decides to tell her.

“Oh?” She sounds interested and he is relieved to hear that her voice is back to its natural tone. “What did you see?”

So, he tells her the dream, not leaving much out except for the things he remembers himself feeling. She listens without almost a sound. He only occasionally hears her gasps and thoughtful hums and the quiet rhythm of her breaths. Only when he tells her that one of the men's in his dream was looking suspiciously similar to Armin, she adds thoughtfully that now that she thinks about it, the man in her dream was very much like Onyankopon. He flicks his fingers, of course, the other man was Onyanokpon. Though the identities of the two younger people remains a mystery.

When he finishes she is silent for a while. Possibly thinking.

“Hey, Levi,” she says, at last, drawing him out of his own deep thoughts. “Do you think we might’ve lived another life together?”

He examines the keyboard of the laptop for a handful of thoughtful seconds. “I don’t know,” he replies, honestly. Frankly, it is not that much of a long shot. “Maybe.”

“I don’t remember anything, though,” she continues. Levi imagines her lying on her back, watching the ceiling, her dark hair scattered on the pillow. “Do you?”

He almost says no, but then he recalls the dream again, and the way her skin reflected the morning sun, how her laughter touched the forgotten, drought lands in his heart and how lucky he felt to have her right beside. “I remember loving you,” he blurts, surprised even himself.

For an uncomfortably, and terrifyingly long second, she doesn’t respond. He chuckles, somewhat nervously. “Too much?”

“No,” she breathes. “No, it’s not. I just didn't expect you to say something like that.”

“Yeah,” he says dryly. “Tell me about it.”

“So, what do you think?” She asks, shifting the matter masterfully. “Which one was real?”

“How would I know?”

“Might be both,” she reasons. “Alternate realities and all that.”

“Yeah,” he mutters and shrugs although she can’t see it. “Why not?”

“Weird.” Levi holds the handle of the teacup and taps the table absently. “I wonder what happened. In my version, you know. Did I die before you? Maybe I was a soldier as well.”

Levi doesn’t like that possibility. It leaves a sour taste in his mouth but considering the two obscure dreams, it is likely. “You had a scar on your eye,” he says remembering his dream. “You most probably were.”

“Oh,” she sighs woefully. “Sorry for leaving you alone, then.”

“Yeah. Sorry for letting you die.”

She laughs. “Well, you probably had no other choice.”

He runs a hand over his face. What the actual fuck they are talking about in the goddamn wee hours? “Hanji, this doesn’t make any sense. Seriously, go back to sleep.”

“I don’t want to go back to sleep. I keep remembering the dream. I wish I had seen your version.”

He wishes the same too, to be honest. “Forget about it. Just sleep.”

“I can’t forget about it,” her voice comes muffled, like a part of her mouth is pressed upon her pillow. “You looked so fine with that scar.”

He pinches his nose but cannot stop himself from grinning like a lovesick fool for the life of him. “Idiot.”

“Would you like to hear something disgustingly cheesy and cliché?” She asks, drowsily.

“No.”

She goes on as if he had never talked. “I’m your idiot.”

“Dear, fucking Lord,” Levi struggles very hard to keep his laughter inside. “Just sleep already.”

“Hmm,” she murmurs, she is most probably about to fall asleep. “Will I see you tomorrow?”

“No, you will see me today.”

“Right, good, good,” she sighs, sleepily. “Later, then my handsome, my shorty, my one and only.”

“Dumbass,” he says affectionately but she is already snorting on the other side of the line.

CHART TIME CHART TIME (I highly encourage you to zoom in and look at everyone I spent a while on them)

Also, if you look closely enough, you’ll see two new faces in the crowd ;)

Underneath the cut, I’ll explain the lines between people, and go into detail for the newbies! Basically, there’s a lot of stuff under the cut that you might wanna check out ;)

Name Reference (in case you forgot or you’re new here): Starting at the very tippy top with the Purple-To-Yellow lady, this is a list of everyone going counterclockwise. (the bolded ones are the new guys) 1. Nozomi Togota - 23 2. Chieko Ojirou – 22 3. Kosuke Kirishima – 19 4. Mieko Kirishima-Bakugou – 17 5. Toshi Midoriya – 17 6. Takeo Shinaro-17 7. Tozen – 17 8. Arisu Tetsukendou- 17 9. Takiyo Asui– 16 10. Kazumi Yuyu- 16 11. Satoshi Yaoyarozu - 15 12. Utano Yaoyarozu - 15 13. Minako Ashido - 15 14. Ezumo Uraraka – 14 15. Makairo Yuyu - 13 16. Akio Kirishima-Bakugou – 13 17. Yukio Aoyama - 12 18. Arakan Midoriya - 12 19. Hiroki Kirishima-Bakugou – 11 20. Akihiko Tetsukendou - 10 21. Ryuji Oirou – 9 22. Teruko Iida - 8 23. Koharu Iida – 8 24. Kinuyo Shoji – 8 25. Youdai Midoriya – 6 26. Nikko Togota - 5 27. Kana Kirishima-Bakugou - 3 28. Tatsuhiro Kirishima-Bakugou – 3 29. Taishiro Ojirou - 1 30. Tsuki Asui – less than a year 31. Masashi Shinaro - Newborn 32. Maemi Shinaro - Newborn Yes there are 32 of these clowns and I love all of them.

Onto the new guys!

Kosuke Kirishima: I refer to him as Sasuke in my head. He is the only son of Natuso and an OC of mine, Emiko! Emiko is also Kirshima’s older sister, which is where Kasuke got his last name from, so no, he is not an affair baby or secret twin sibling.(You can bet your ass Natuso would take the first chance he got to ditch his dad’s name and so here we are.) He is 19, very handsome, and is starting work in Hero Support! His name means “Rising Sun”

Kinuyo Shoji: Created simply because I had a cool idea for her quirk. She is the only daughter of Shoji and a Still-Unnamed OC of mine. (I feel bad I still haven’t named her. She’s been here for a while.) Kinuyo is a lil spider lady and does ballet! Her name means “Generation of Silk” (because haha spider)

Now to the lines! This might take a while....... Please note that some things I won’t be going into detail for because of either story/character reasons, or I want you guys to imagine your own reasons as for why these folks are connected!

Red (Crushing?) [please note that the crush only applies from where the arrow is coming from to where the arrow is going]: - Kazumi -> Toshi and Tozen. You’re typical “I’m in love with two boys and I don’t know what to do!!!!!” Storyline (Extra points since you’ve got the Bad Boy and the Boy Next Door aesthetics). I think it fit well with Kazumi’s Trope-Filled life and could lead to some fun humor. - Makairo -> Satoshi. I think it’s more of an admiration sort of thing. Makairo thinks Satoshi is super cool because she’s cool and punk and not like those other preppy girl Makairo knows. - Koharu -> Akio. This is one of those little puppy crushes kids get. It’s also Koharu - once again - trying to seem cool and mature by crushing on an older boy (although if she rlly was trying to pull that off, there are better choices than a 13 year old himbo) - Nikko -> Mieko. Man the Kirishima-Bakugous sure are irresistible aren’t they. Yet again another puppy crush. Nikko thinks Mieko is super cool for being strong and heroic. I didn’t include this, but she also thinks Kazumi is awesome for being a real life Magical Girl.

Orange (Best Friends) [friend groups will be listed all together]: - Mieko, Toshi, Tozen, and Arisu - Takeo, Satoshi, and Utano. Their parents visit each other a lot, so these guys saw a lot of each other growing up. Fancy Boy, Pastel Punk, and Sk8r Boi. - Minako and Kazumi. - Ezumo, Arakan, and Hiroki. Middle Child cluuuuuuub. - Makairo, Akio, and Yukio. These three would be the funniest thing together. Makairo is always yelling at Akio for being a “Typical Jock” cough cough Himbo and Yukio is constantly keeping her from punching people. Akio is here for moral support. I just....... THE POTENTIAL YOU GUYS. - Koharu, Teruko, Kinuyo, and Youdai. Koharu, Kinuyo, and Youdai all attend the same dance lessons, and Teruko is here because wherever her sister is she is right there behind her to make her laugh. - Taishiro, Tsuki, Masashi, and Maemi. Babies. Their parents got them together and they kinda just stuck. Babies don’t care about nothing, and they get into as many shenanigans as 4 literal babies can get.

Yellow (friends) [I don’t really know why I made this and orange separate but here we are]: - Kosuke, Akio, Kana, and Tatsuhiro. Cousins doing dumb cousins things together like cousins do. They do experiments with Kosuke’s gadgets a lot, and cause the appropriate amount of destruction an inventor and children who share blood with Bakugou would. - Mieko, Toshi, Takiyo, Takeo, and Arisu. (If this were to be a full blown story thing, these guys + Tozen would be the main characters. Takiyo maybe less than the others tho since he is still baby (haha 16 year old)) - Minako, Satoshi, and Utano. - Minako and Ezumo. Fashion buddies! - Akio and Akihiko. Their families practically live at each others houses, and these are two idiot boys around the same age. They get into harmless trouble a lot. - Yukio and Hiroki. Nervous kid cluuuub. They’re less nervous when they’re with each other, and they like talking about movies. - Arakan, Akihiko, Ryjui, and Nikko. Hero Club! They talk about heroes and how cool they are! Their research includes current heroes (their parents) and cool heroes of the past (Like GrandPa Toshinori!!!)

Green (Complicated) [complicated]: - Chieko, Ryuji, and Taishiro. Chieko moved away when Ryuji was 4 and Taishiro wasn’t even born. She wants to be involved with them, but she’s so far away and avoids their parents, so it’s hard. Ryuji doesn’t entirely understand, but he likes it when he gets to call his sister and she can tell him about all the cool America things she’s doing! - Makairo and Kazumi. Not actually not that complicated. Makairo hates heavily dislikes Kazumi for being a prep, but Kazumi believes it’s just a phase (which it probably is), so she’s not as respectful of Makairo as she should be and is patronizing. It’s tense.

Blue (hostile) [just means someone is a rude lil punk]: - Makairo and Akio. It’s just Makairo saying “Jock (derogatory)” and Akio saying “haha cool” every 10 minutes - Masashi, Tsuki, and Taishiro. Masashi is a little brat, and the other two are babies, so none of them really mind. Masashi just makes angry faces at them.

Purple (Had a falling out): - Chieko and Nozomi.

Familial relationships will be spelled out in my family tree post, whenever that comes out because GOD KNOWS how long that’ll take.

Hoooooo that was a lot. See y’all next time!

@questionableholidayreally ;D

#bnha next gen #bnha fankids #bnha #ugh imagine if I had to tag all the individual kids #gross #I am also not tagging all the individual parent ships #anyways #haha Tozen doesn't have a last name #and I won't explain why he has friends #haha #heehoo can't wait to see the theories this may spark #lookin at you bird #the more I think about Akio and Makairo the funnier it gets #and I'm happy I have all these headshots to use for the family tree #but AHHHH I STILL HAVE TO DRAW GROWN UP CHARACTERS #IT'LL TAKE SO LOOOONG #UUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH #But I wanna do it bc I like looking at and making Family trees UwU #ngl a lot of this stuff was come up with on the spot #like all the crushes #I thought of those practically as I was drawing the lines #OH ALSO #not all the relationships are here because I didn't want the chart to be too messy #Mieko Kirishima-Bakugou #Akio Kirishima-Bakugou #Hiroki Kirishima-Bakugou #Kana Kirishima-Bakugou #Tatsuhiro Kirishima-Bakugou #Toshi Midoriya #Arakan Midoriya

Time Warp - Chapter 2 - A Camaro

Summary - Hawkins really is a small town with a big secret ... more than one big secret

Warning - Smut / Angst / Fluff, whole way through and gif below contains small flashes of light. 🕊

A/N - Hope you’re having a good day! 🥰

“Dad!” You yelled. A shock shaking you to your core as you jolted awake. A blaring alarm causing a headache to form. “What the fuck” was all you could grumble, completely dazed. “When did I get a damn alarm?... your phone buzzed from under your pillow.

‘Probably Casey, crap... Casey, you got barely any research done last night... something about a website, unless you’d dreamt about that? Fuck, did you dream about that too?’

“Y/L get your ass up” some voice disrupted your thoughts. Odd, dad never woke you up, and he didn’t sound like that? He kinda sounded like - no - Ugh oh well, you shifted your thoughts to your phone. Which had somehow still been able to maintain 100% battery even through that night.

Something didn’t really feel right though. I mean it could just be that poster of a young Rob Lowe hanging from your wall-

You did a quick double check, blinking owlishly. This wasn’t your room... well it was, but?

Posters hung up around the room, bands and pictures of shirtless guys surrounding you. A vanity in place of your computer.

The door burst open and some kid came in.

“GET OUT WHO ARE YOU?!” A scream left your lips, you quickly shuffled backwards into the corner of your bed away from the random boy which had happened to just casually run into your room.

“She’s still asleep mom!” He stuck his tongue out, shoving his small fingers into a box at the end of your bed.

“Mom?” Heavy footsteps erupted up the stairs. Who the hell were these people?

Something definitely was off...

This so called ‘mom’ made herself visible, throwing the door open, yelling her head off to you.

“I’m telling you young lady, you need to get your act together, this is a new place now and I’m expecting peak behaviour, I don’t want anything like what happened back in New York to even be discussed here you understand so get your ass up now” her voice was sharp and harsh.

That for certain was not your mother, she had a slightly wrinkled forehead, hair curled up in pin up curls.

There was only one woman in the world who held a similar tone and pitch.... “Grandma?”

“what did you just call me?” Her voice dialed down to a whisper.

The boy started to chuckle and snuck out of the room.

“S-Sorry... uhh I think I’m - I think I’m fucking dreaming I mean, you’re like, you’re not old?”

“Language, don’t you dare utter words like that ever again and watch your tongue missus, one more instance and I’ll march you to that new school myself by the ear and let your brother carry on from there” the rest of her sentence was spat and grumbled, as she scolded you.

‘Brother? Grandma? School?, this made no sense, you were in your house, but not at home?’ This random woman was like your grandma and you suddenly had a brother?

“Dad!” You yelled, where was he in all of this?

“We don’t speak of that useless mutt around here, Now get to school you have 5 minutes or else I’m- !” That sharp, harsh voice rang out again. You shut the door slowly and took a deep breath in.

WHAT WAS HAPPENING?

Water! You quickly rushed towards your bathroom, splashing water onto your face, pinching your skin, checking times, looking at clocks. Everything that would usually signal a dream weren’t there.

Your phone buzzed again.

Casey.

It wasn’t Casey. Damn dominos alert again.

You could call Casey.

No bars. Crap.

‘Ok, so let’s just get out of here, head to ‘school’ or whatever and breathe, play this out...’ at this point you were clinging to the idea in hope that you were trapped in a dream.

“I’m leaving without you, get your ass to that school on time, you can walk quick enough, and I’ll know if you don’t show missy!” Your grandma- mom- whoever this lady was yelled again, the door slamming.

Few, you could breathe a moment. Carefully you crept out from your hiding space in your bathroom. Creeping down the stairs.

This was definitely your house, just completely redecorated. The weirdest thing was that there were pictures on the walls, pictures of you, that woman and that boy and even some older guy... grandpa? Well he looked like a young version of your grandpa. Those were the only pictures you’d seen of him, his younger ones.

Everything was colourful and the TV looked old and weird? Some dull coloured cartoon playing on it?

‘Right... school’ you thought, maybe this was happening to Casey, or maybe you were just going crazy, fingers crossed she’d be at school. Hopefully she was at school.

You shoved your way through your closet, these were certainly not your clothes, they were colourful and not a pair of leggings were in sight.

You snatched up a pastel turtleneck, bootcut jeans and a pair of boots with a windbreaker, grabbed your bag and breathed out a sigh of frustration.

This was so confusing. Everything in your room looked like something out of 16 Candles?

Or even Caseys room. Maybe you and Casey had switched certain things?

Like a super specific version of Freaky Friday?

No that wouldn’t work... something wasn’t right at all.

But something that would work... oh no, no that’s not possible?

You practically jogged to school, near enough out of breath by the time you hit the gates of the parking lot.

Yep, it had to be. There wasn’t a single car in sight that looked like it had come from the year 2000 let alone 2020.

Kids around the area were actaully fully talking. No phones or gadgets?

This was the 80s wasn’t it?

I mean it made sense, the clothes, the TV, the cars? But how did that woman and boy know your name? Why were you in your bedroom? Well kind of your bedroom?

The loud boom of what could only be recognised as Caseys favourite band, Metallica made you jump, coming from the stereo of some damn car.

A blue car.

A BLUE CAMARO, METALLICA AND A BLUE 1980s CAMARO? CASEY MUST BE HERE!

Your eyes watched it pull into the lot, parking up in the middle. You quickly picked up your feet and headed straight towards the car.

“Hey! Who’re you?” Some girl stopped you, stood right in your way as you tried to search behind her for Casey again. “Oi! I asked you a question new kid”

“Uhh- Umm Y/N?” The girl looked you up and down.

“Where you from?”

“Hawkins”

“No you’re not”

“Yes i am”

“Nope, no you’re not”

“Yes I am?”

“A girl like you don’t come from Hawkins, this place is a boring shit storm, you gotta be from somewhere exciting, like England?! Or Texas? Are those jeans designer?!” She started to excitedly exclaim, admiring you.

This was certainly a first. No one seemed to noticed you in your Hawkins. You were a bit of a loser, well at least people made you feel that way, so you found Casey and the rest was well history.

Thinking of Casey you needed to find her. Now.

“Do you have your schedule yet? No, come on then let’s go get it, I’m Carol, this is Tina and this is Paddy, you can come hang out with us at lunch by the way” she smiled. Jesus was this a Mean girls parallel universe or something? Without any words from you, she grabbed your hand and dragged you through the crowds of Hawkins. None of these students looked familiar, not a single one.

The trip to the office was filled with looks and stares, what was happening, was there something in your hair? Either way you let Carol drag you to the office.

——————

“Who’s that new kid then?” Tommy flicked his cigarette on the floor. His boys circled around him outside the school.

“The boy? Or the girl?” Finn was practically out of it, seriously hungover...

“The girl dumbass, she hot or not?” Billy cleared his throat, taking another drag.

“Carols with her now so guess we’ll find out but judging from her brother I doubt she’s much special although I heard she’s from New York” The boys mused.

“Nah, I heard Texas, she’s probably got one of those accents too-” Finn tried again but with quickly interrupted.

“Tommy! You said you’d wait for me by my locker, asshole” That shrill squeak of a voice couldn’t have been anyone else but Carol.

“Sorry Jesus, chill woman” he smirked, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, handing her a cigarette.

“I got to show the new girl around, bet you horn dogs are jealous” she giggled.

“She hot or what?”

“Well you’ll find out for yourself at lunch but until then my lips are sealed”

“That’s a first” Tommy nudged his mates chuckling whilst Carol gave him a slap on the arm.

Billy smirked, watching the couple, to be honest he'd been pretty bored recently. The girls he was constantly surrounded with just kind of merged together and they were simply just annoying him at this point. California had variety, blondes, brunettes, red heads. Any type of girl was exciting in California but Hawkins was just boring, the last girl he was with wouldn't stop nagging him and Jesus did Billy hate people who nagged.

Maybe a switch up would be nice.

Quickly you scuttled through the hall to your maths class. Notebook in hand and phone hidden between its pages. All you had to do was to figure out how to get out of this situation but so far you'd only got so far to the fact that somehow you had time traveled back in time, but at the same time you'd also seemed to swap lives with someone.

Whilst your mind was buzzing you didn’t realise the fact that a boy was coming around the corner and hit you dead on, causing you now to currently be sat dazed on the floor.

“S-sorry” You quickly scrambled your things together. Shit where was your...

“Its ok... what the hell is this? you take a remote to school?” the boy chuckled, helping you to your feet.

“Uh its nothing, give it back” was all you could snap, snatching your device back and tucking it back into your book. As your eyes started to concentrate a bit more you got a look in at the strong chest that you’d just hit.

This boy was tall with a head of pretty brown hair and kind eyes.

“Hey, chill... you're Y/N right?”All you could do was furrow your eyebrows, since when had a boy wanted to talk to you?

“Umm yes.. yeah- Uhh how did you? Slowly calming your breath and heart beat.

“When a new girl comes to town, word gets around quick I guess” he smiled, your eyes kind of locked for a moment but it just felt a bit odd. A shiver ran down your back and you jumped, breaking the contact.

“Right uhh, I gotta get to class... Mr Fae?”

“Mmm that’ll be the first room on your left and if you don’t wanna get into trouble for being late just tell him you went to the bathroom he’s usually quite chill” Steve held a sweet smile on his face, you nodded and slowly made your way to the room.

The room was silent when you entered, Mr Fae had his body facing the chalkboard, so you quietly snuck into a spare seat at the back of the room.

Carol turned in her seat at the front to give you a small wave and smile. You returned the smile and looked back down to your notebook, quick to scribble down your information.

- Year : 1980 ??? Something

- Living with grandma

- Grandma is young and she has a picture of her with young Grandpa on the wall.

- Camaro - Caseys Camaro.

something wasn't adding up... unless... you were your mother? but not your mother? Like you were you but you in a way replaced your mom and now you’re here, that would make the boy your brother now but your uncle in the future, that’s why his voice was so familiar- but wait, didnt mom go to school with dad?

That wouldn't make any sense, so far you hadn’t met any Daniel L/N? But anyway :

- Taken moms place, but no dad? - someone else might’ve taken dads place?

- I Still look like me?

- Find Casey, Find the Camaro.

“Ya know princess, that Camaro doesn't belong to no Casey but I do like that little story idea”

survey by tickticktmr

How many...

How many times have you skipped class? I skipped one day a year back in high school, and that cut was always for this day-long event that the school would arrange to serve as a break from academic classes; for example, for those days we had like themed classes like knitting and it was also usually a themed costume day. I didn’t see the point in it, so I always skipped.

I cut a lot of classes in college that it’s impossible to count because, welp, it’s college lol.

How many times have you kissed the last person you kissed? Hundreds.

How many years have you known your second closest friend? 10 years.

How many alarm clocks are in the house? We don’t have any alarm clocks, but we have alarms built into our phones. If those count, then we have five.

How many people have you argued with? I don’t think I can count this. I’ve had arguments with various people ranging from mild bickering to full-blown fights.

How many times have you watched your favorite movie? I watched it every day for a certain period several years ago and I go back to it at least once every year. It’s probably been a little more than a hundred times.

How many people do you live with? Four, my parents and two siblings.

How many pairs of boots do you own? Zero.

How many people have told you they're in love with you? Just the one.

How many times have you cried over the opposite sex? A handful, but all have been in the non-romantic sense. I used to cry all the time when we’d drop my dad off at the airport, and I’ve cried over my grandpa’s and Nacho’s death as well.

How many people have been in your house at one time? Do you mean what’s the most number of people that’s stayed at our house at one given time? Not sure...maybe it was the time the entire executive board of my org came over for a meeting before the official start of the sem? It was only a little over 10 people, but then again my mom doesn’t appreciate too many visitors.

How many stuffed animals are in your room? There are a couple of plushies, but not anything bigger than that.

How many cellphones have you went through? Tons. I was my parents’ nightmare. I’ve gone through 8 so far.

How many pets do you have? We have two living ones, both dogs.

What would you do if...

What would you do if you could never listen to music again? I’d be really distraught over never being able to listen to my favorites anymore. Even if I don’t really listen to music when I’m depressed, i.e. now, I still like having the option to tune in when I feel like it. So even if it won’t be the end of the world, I’d still feel pretty damn lonely.

What would you do if your current bf/gf cheated on you? I don’t have one anymore but I’d be really puzzled and be betrayed if she had, given how much she hates cheaters and the act of cheating.

What would you do if you could never wear jeans again? Rejoice for the most part, but also be sad over mom jeans because they’re the only comfy kind of jeans and that’s the one type I genuinely enjoy wearing.

What would you do if your dad became president? Expect him to tap me for help almost immediately. I think he’d make a good leader considering he’s already one at his work, at least a far better one than my mom ever could be.

What would you do if you lost your most important possession? Right now that’s my laptop. If I lost that, I’d mostly be scared of the possibility of my parents whooping my ass; but at the same time my company just gave me a company laptop anyway so it’ll be easy to start over.

What would you do if your house burned down? Stop taking this survey, obviously. Then I’d grab my phone and Kimi, since he’s here with me in my room.

What would you do if your best friend didn't want to be friends anymore? I’d be devastated and start thinking if I’m the problem.

What would you do if you had to move do a different state/province? Thank fuck. I’d be relieved to have the chance to start from scratch, and I’d be all for it.

What would you do if someone shaved your head? Be furious, especially if they did it while I was asleep or otherwise unaware.

What would you do if Jesus came to your front door? Think that it’s probably an act and ask them to leave.

What would you do if your house was robbed? Check if my parents, sister, and dogs are unharmed.

What would you do if your sister/brother got married? Puzzled because 1) they are both single, 2) we are still in a pandemic and why would either of them want to get married right now, and 3) they are 20 and 17.

What would you do if dogs became extinct? Idk, be upset.

What would you do if the last person you kissed proposed to you? I’d be conflicted and a mix of emotions. I’m not sure I would take it well now, even if that’s all I wanted in the end.

Have you ever...

Have you ever broke a body part? I’ve mildly sprained an ankle, but I’ve never broken a bone or had an organ severely malfunction.

Have you ever broke someone else's body part? I don’t think so.

Have you ever changed for a guy/girl? I’ve adjusted a lot. Idk about change.

Tried to jump on a celebrity but been stopped by the security guards? Kind of? Greyson Chance walked into the mall right when I was exiting and my first instinct as a 14/15 year old was to grab my phone and start taking photos, even though I wasn’t even a fan and could not name any song of his and was just excited to see a Hollywood person in such a mundane circumstance lol. But it wasn’t the smartest move, obviously. I got to be a little too close just because we were crossing paths; I wasn’t trying to be near him, but that’s what his bodyguard interpreted so he asked me to back off.

Have you ever complained about the last person you spoke to? I don’t think there was ever anything to complain about Hans. We’ve always been on amazing terms and he’s one of the funniest people I know.

Have you ever cried on your mom's shoulder? As an infant.

Have you ever dialed 911 as a prank? No. I’m not a jerk.

Have you ever won a talent show? I don’t have anything to show off, so I never joined those.

Have you ever spilled a drink on a expensive electronic item and ruined it? Nah. As clumsy as I can be, I’m always careful with liquids and gadgets.

Have you ever fainted when someone told you shocking news? Nope. I’ve only fainted because I was extremely hungry.

Have you ever swooned over the Jonas Brothers? In 4th grade. I still like them, but I haven’t swooned over them in a while.

Have you ever bought a piece of makeup that cost over $100? No, I don’t buy makeup period.

Have you ever been cheated on by someone who claimed to love you? I haven’t.

Have you ever got food free because the waiter thought you were hot? No, and ew.

Do you...

Do you have someone who will always be there for you? Yeah, I’m lucky I have friends who remind me all the time.

Do you have a membership at a gym? No, was never interested.

Do you act dumb to get guys/girls to like you? No. Hasn’t this been debunked a million times?

Do you know anyone who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day? Possibly more, yes.

Do you follow the rules? As much as possible, yeah.

Do you have a friend who secretly really annoys you? Eh, kind of, but I don’t count her as a friend per se.

Do you always have Pepsi at your house? I don’t think my parents buy Pepsi whenever they get softdrinks. I’ve only ever seen Coca-Cola bottles.

Do you flirt with anything that moves? No.

Do you watch Sponge Bob? I watched it regularly as a kid; as an adult, I’ll watch the older episodes from time to time.

Do you count sheep when you can't sleep? No.

Do you sweat easily? Nah. I’ve been told I rarely look like I sweat, actually.

Do you like pineapple? Not at all.

Do you refuse to wear something that's out of style? If it’s something that’s recently gone out of style, like culottes, then yeah. But if you mean like 90s stuff like fanny packs and mom jeans, I believe those things are back in style all over again.

Do you type 'u' or 'you'? I type both, depending on what I feel like using and who I’m talking to.

What is...

What is your best friend's name? Angela. Maybe Gabie? But mainly Angela.

What is your first girlfriend/boyfriend's name? See second name above.

What is your neighbour's name? I have no clue what any of their names are other than the director who lives two houses away; his name is Mac.

What is your least favorite swear word? Faggot.

What is the best and most romantic way to propose to someone? I think it will always be different per couple, and if a given couple wants a romantic proposal in the first place.

What is something that always makes you laugh? The show Friends.

What is the name of your hometown? That’ll stay a secret.

What is the most gentle way to turn someone down? Idk...haven’t really had to do this before, and the one time I did wasn’t the nicest way.

What is the ugliest girl name? 1) Can’t think of any, and 2) that’s just mean.

What is the most boring thing to do? Technically, waiting. Especially if it’s for something mundane, like lining up for a government service.

What is the funnest kind of question to answer? On surveys? I appreciate random questions the most.

What is the most useless thing you know? I’ve read a lot of ‘useless’ trivia on Reddit that I’ll probably never have to use or bring up in this lifetime.

What is your favorite pair of pants? My mom jeans, which I always mention when asked this.

What is the best flavour of ice cream? I personally root for cookies and cream.

❄ Three Wishes ❄

" ... so, if you choose this option, it will allow you to change her language. I programmed about a hundred!" The Artisan proudly explained as she excitedly pointed at the screen.

"Why do ya wanna change her language?" Griffon questioned as he contentedly perched on top of V's bookshelf.

"It's just how it works." Nico answered as she raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. Then, she looked back at V, who was still staring confusedly at the cellphone in his hand. She pointed a finger at one of the options and spoke once more. "You also have complete control over the type of voice, accent,... basically the way she speaks!"

"What does it mean?"

The poor poet felt like he was back at the department store where he had to listen to the Sales Representative for two hours straight as the cheerful employee explained, in full, excruciating detail, how a coffee maker works. Luckily, though, he didn't have to pay anything this time around. The cellphone was a gift from Nico, herself. He honestly appreciated the gift, he just didn't expect it to be rigged in such a way. During the first month that he owned it, he found out that it has an x - ray function ( he accidentally saw Griffon's insides, to his utter horror and regret, when he experimented with its camera ), a laser option for the flashlight ( which actually made a hole through the wall in the kitchen ), an intruder alarm ( which was a recording of Nero's songs on loop ), and a very accurate tracking device of every person he knew ( the last time he checked, he found out the exact whereabouts of his brother Dante, from his frequent travels to the ice cream and pizza parlor to his nightly sojourns to the nearby club houses ).

And now, it seemed that his wonder cellphone has another hidden function, and that was to give Shadow her very own voice with the use of the state - of - the - art bell that was dangling from her red ribbon, which was cutely tied around her neck. Apparently, the said bell was a gadget made by Nico, herself, to channel a demon's thoughts and translate them into coherent words with just a push of a button from the Kitty Cat Voice app that was programmed and installed by the same woman who gave him the cellphone.

And honestly? It amazed, unnerved, and confused the hell out of the poet, who was only beginning to live a life of his own in the modern society, away from his bickering brothers and close to the woman he loved.

"Here, let me show you." Nico took the cellphone from V's hands and typed something. She, then, looked at Shadow, who was obediently sitting on her usual spot on the floor, and spoke, "Say something, girl."

V and Griffon waited in silence as they looked at Shadow, and a few moments later, the demonic feline did speak!

"Bonjour!" The familiar said in a deep and overly sensual male voice that almost made Griffon fall from the shelf. "Je m'appelle Shadow. Ravie de vous rencontrer!"

"EURGH!" Griffon howled in disgust at what Shadow just said. "What kinda erotic sound is that?!"

"Seductive French Singer." Nico answered as she proudly nodded at the cellphone in her hand. Humming in satisfaction, she scrolled through the app once more and spoke, "Hmm, let's try something else. Okay, girl! Try greetin' our Mr. poetry here."

V's eyes narrowed cautiously as he instinctively drew back a bit, feeling a little nervous and unnerved of what the familiar might say to him. With threatening and glowing red eyes, the huge black cat padded towards her master, and when she was mere inches from him, she sat and raised her head obediently. Then, she spoke.

"Kon'nichiwa, V - sama!" Shadow greeted the poet in a very small and very childish voice of a young girl that made Griffon laugh so hard. "Anata ga watashi no koe no oto ga sukidearu koto o negatte imasu!"

"What did she just say?" V, looking horrified at what his familiar just said, questioned Nico, who was laughing along with Griffon and clutching her mid - section. She was clearly making fun of his confusion, the clever woman!

"Anata wa watashi no koe no oto ga sukide wa arimasendeshita ka? Nante zankokuda, V - sama!" Shadow whined in her creepy little voice, making V even more uncomfortable. "Daikirai! DAIKIRAI!"

"Please, make it stop,..." V pleaded quietly as he bowed his head down low and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Aww, don't like Nasally Japanese Moe?" The Artisan teased. After receiving a glare from the poet as a threat, the woman laughed nervously and scratched her head. "Alright, alright! I'll put it back to its default mode."

"Which is?" The demonic bird asked, his curiosity getting the better of him as he flew towards the woman to see how she was operating the app she invented.

"Gentle English Babushcat. The voice you all heard durin' the play." Nico answered dejectedly as she made one last click on the screen before giving the cellphone back to V. "It's pretty simple, man. You open the app, no password needed, and you can select the - "

"No need."

"Okay! Okay! Just explainin',..." Nico shrugged her shoulders and shook her head on the way to the door, a defeated smile on her lips upon knowing that her precious work of art was not appreciated. "Well, then, goo -

" ... hold yer panties! I almost forgot!"

To Griffon's utter surprise, the woman turned back and strode towards V, almost knocking the poor bird on her way, and began looking for something in her large and greasy - looking yellow bag.

"What now?" V, almost feeling annoyed, questioned her as he watched her ransack through her messy backpack.

"Ah, I'm pretty sure I put it somewhere here. I just don't know if - AH! There we go!"

"What is that?" Shadow, who now sounded like the gentle, motherly middle - aged aunt from earlier during the party, asked, her tail waving from left to right in mild curiosity at the thing on Nico's hand.

"I got lots of invites to Old Fleminger's Annual New Year's Ball." The Artisan explained. "So, I'm giving you some."

"New Year's Ball?" V took the pair of golden envelopes from Nico's hand and studied it with much curiosity. He looked up from the fancy things in his hand and raised an eyebrow in question. "And who is this Fleminger? A Demon that has to be killed?"

"Oh, no, no, no! Old Fleminger is a gentle old soul who still likes to party really hard at the age of sixty. He throws this massive, fancy annual spectacle where he expects people to dress up the way he wants them to. Just so you know, last year, when Nero and Kyrie were lucky enough to get some invites, they were made to dress up as characters from famous movies. Nero dressed up as James Bond and Kyrie dressed up as a hot Bond girl. They won King and Queen of the Ball."

"Ohoho, that sounds interesting! Yes!" Griffon declared as he joined V on the sofa, his golden eyes glistening with devilish intent. "So, uh, V, who are ya gonna dress up as? The penniless poet from Moulin - aghk!" But, even before the demonic bird could finish his sentence, Shadow's tail hastily covered his beak to stop him from speaking any further, making the poor bird muffle helplessly.

"STOP IT! YOU'RE EMBARRASSING OUR MASTER!" Shadow scolded as a loud growl escaped her throat and frightened the demonic bird. "Yes, Miss Nico, please continue."

"Oh, yeah, as I was saying," Nico went on, ignoring the conflicted look on V's already stressed features. " ... you are required to dress up to match the theme of the Ball. And it's vintage this time."

"Vintage? Like," The poet asked, some tasteless thoughts of himself indulging in such a party already plaguing his overworked mind. " ... old?"

"Yeah. Kinda like how grandma Adelaide probably used to dress up when she was still a teenager." Nico nodded as she crossed her arms and tapped her chin with her fingers. Suddenly, her eyes widened. Looking once more at V and pointing a finger at him, she said, "And don't forget to ask (Y/N) out as your date, okay? It's a requirement!"

Me,... asking her out as my date to a strange Ball?! "I'm afraid to say that I' am not certain as to - "

"Aww, come on, man!" Nico pleaded as she collapsed next to V on the sofa and grabbed his shoulders, shaking them to somehow make the man come to his senses. "We all know that ya like the girl, if it isn't too obvious enough already!"

"But,... I don't even,... like her,..." V quietly said as he tried to get the woman's hands off his shoulders.

"Yeah, 'cause Shakespeare fuckin' loves her - AGHK!" Griffon used his momentary freedom from Shadow's tail to speak but, he was abruptly grabbed by one of Shadow's huge morphed hands.

"SHUT YOUR BEAK AND LET MASTER SPEAK, OR I'LL TEAR YOUR LIMBS APART!" The feline threatened.

"Don't! Please! Squawk! I beg ya! Aghk!"

"Anyway, confess to her already!" Nico went on. "Use this Ball as a chance. Dress up nicely like someone's hip and swell grandpa and woo her!"

"Hip and,… swell? And,… woo,... (Y/N)?"

"Yeah! And while ye're at it, learn some Elvis Presley moves that ol' geriatrics love and ask her to boogie with ya on the dancefloor! Be a tiger and impress her! Do everythin' ya can to sweep her off her dainty feet!"

"I'm not sure if I can do this kind of thing,..."

"Ya can do it! Just believe in yerself!" Nico smiled and stood, patting V on the shoulder. "Okay? Ye must make her say yes as soon as ya can. The Ball is in a week."

And with those not - so - encouraging words, V was left with more questions than answers, and with more problems than solutions. First of all, Shadow can speak very well now, thanks to the wonder gadget and app that Nico created. Well, Griffon was already too much on his ears but, to actually hear his two familiars bickering for real? Second, who was this old Fleminger and how did the Artisan get some invites to his prestigious event? The invitations looked really fancy and expensive, after all.

And thirdly, how could he possibly ask her out? The trip to the mall and the cinema was one thing but,...

... Nico was expecting him to confess to her.

That, and the fact that he has to dress up vintage - style for the event and dance like this Elvis Presley that Nico was talking about ( who was Elvis Presley, anyway? ). Wouldn't he become a laughingstock, then? Would he be making a complete fool of himself, then? And if that happens, would you even accept his love? Would you laugh at him and tell him he's not worthy?

These crippling thoughts were still on V's mind when he entered his dark, cold, and lonely bedroom later that evening. With the sparkling golden invites on his hand, he made his way towards the window, sat on the chair next to it, and parted the heavy curtains. And with one simple look, he saw the window to your bedroom. The curtains were, of course, closed but, he could clearly see that your lights were still on, indicating that, at the very late ( or early ) hour of two in the morning, you were still awake. You did mention to him that you could not sleep well,...

V's eyes widened a bit when he finally saw the lights being turned off in your room.

Ah, she must be feeling sleepy now, he thought.

However, not even a minute has passed when the lights turned on again. It stayed like that for about twenty more minutes, then it went dark once more.

The poet sighed. It must be so hard for her, he thought.

And then, an idea struck his mind. He did promise that he will fulfill her three wishes. The first wish didn't work out too well because of Lancaster but, what if,...?

The man left his window and went towards his bedside table where some of his poetry books were. Then, he looked at the invites in his hand.

This,... might actually work,...

Imagine going to a new school, making new friends, and becoming good friends with possibly the cutest boy you've ever laid eyes on all because your niece gets attached to him. It's just your luck the cute boy also happens to be a vampire.

Stefan X Reader

Ever since you were little, starting a new school year always made you nervous. Even in high school it's never changed, but it's worse now because not only are you starting a new school but you're starting a new school in the middle of the school year. Everyone has their schedules and the path to take for each class memorized, as well as their locker combinations. You're the only one who's continuously looking at a schedule and map, and looking like a lost puppy as you try to find your way.

Thankfully the day seems to be flying by and before you know it, it's your lunch hour. So grabbing a tray, you follow some other students who take their food outside and quickly settle down at an empty picnic table. And before you dig in, you prop your phone up on it's side with the handy little kick-stand built into the phone case and face time your niece as promised.

When the call is answered, you can't help but laugh when you see that your niece has her own makeshift tray of food in front of her. "Wook, Y/N! I eat lunch too."

"I can see that," you muse, opening your drink and taking a sip. "Have you been good for grandpa today?"

"Yep. Papo sweep all day and daddy bought me nuggets!"

"Lucky. All I got to eat is this yucky burger." You hold the burger in question and grin as your niece giggles uncontrollably for longer than necessary.

She takes a minute to actually eat her food and you do the same, you watching her through the tiny screen of your phone as she then remembers that she wanted to show you something. As she scrambles off her seat, she takes the phone with her and you're stuck watching as the tiny four year old shows you page after page of her new coloring book that she's scribbled on.

"Excuse me." Someone taps on your shoulder. "But do you mind if I sit at the other end of this table?"

Glancing up and over your shoulder, you see one of the most prettiest boys you've seen so far at Mystic Falls High. Short, dark brown hair is perfectly tousled, the guy's jawline is to die for, and his pretty green eyes sparkle with mirth the longer you stare. Your niece shrieks your name, you startle and glance at your phone to shush her, and then turn back to the guy who's still waiting for an answer. "Shit. Sorry. The table end is all yours."

He chuckles. "Thanks. I'm Stefan, by the way.

"Y/N," you mumble, more than a little embarrassed.

"And I'm Kaywie!"

Your lips twitch as you glance once more at your phone, narrowing your eyes on your niece who's face is practically pressed to your sister's phone as she gets a good look at you and Stefan who's still standing behind you. He waves and your nieces beams. "For some reason her L's get turned into W's. Her name is actually Kaylie," you say, feeling the need to explain.

"Well hello, Kaylie. It's nice to meet you." Stefan waves again and your heart melts a little at his actions.

He moves to take his seat and you turn your attention back on your niece, lowering the volume now that there's someone else at the table with you. As Stefan digs into his own lunch and gets distracted by his own phone, you start eating once more and oohing and awwing at the various dolls she starts to name.

"Okay, KG, it's almost time for me to go back to class so we're going to have to hang up now."

"Nooo," she whines. "Y/N, I wanna tawk to you."

"I know you do, tiny terror, but I really have to go. I'll see you after school. Okay? You can come with grandpa when he picks me up."

It takes a moment, but she finally relents. "Okay.. but I wanna see Stefan again."

"W-What?" You stammer. Glancing at the boy in question, you see him collecting his trash before staring at you in amusement. Then glancing at your phone, you say, "What do you mean you wanna see Stefan? How'd you even remember he was here?"

"To tell him goodbye, siwwy."

"Jesus Christ. This kid has a better memory than I do sometimes." Stefan snorts and you look at him with a guilty expression. "Do you mind? If I don't show you to her, she'll cry."

"No. It's totally fine. She's adorable."

"Pft. You say that now," you mumble. Sliding your phone over to Stefan, you quickly collect your own trash as he gives his own goodbye. Then when you have your phone in hand, you blow her a kiss. "See you later, KG. I really have to go now."

"'Kay, Y/N. Wove you!"

"Love you, too. Bye."

As soon as you hang up, you look to Stefan. "I am so sorry! She just likes talking to new people, especially if she thinks they're my friend and-"

"It's no problem. Really," Stefan smiles. "I've never had a little kid interested in me. It's very good for one's ego." You snort, but feel like a weight's been lifted off your shoulders when you realize you hadn't been a bother. "Sooo.. that was your niece?"

Seeing as everyone is finally gathering their trays to dump, you do the same and keep pace with Stefan when you see he’s waiting for you. "Yeah. My sister and dad babysit her while my brother and his wife work. She was there this morning when I was leaving for school and was very upset when she couldn't come with me. Telling her I'd facetime her during my lunch hour was the only way to get her to stop crying."

"You two must be close."

You shrug. "I'm the aunt with all the cool gadgets and games. Of course I'm her favorite." As you near the trash cans, the both of you dump your trays before leaving them aside on the designated table. Then as you head for the exit, you flash him a feeble smile. "Well.. thank you," you chuckle nervously. "This was a first for me- meeting a stranger for the first time and making him converse with my niece."

Stefan grins. "It was an amusing lunch hour I'll give you that."

"Well I better get to class," you say, gesturing to the opposite direction he seemed to be inching towards. "See you around, Stefan."

The rest of the day passes in a blur and you're surprised to find Stefan in your last class. With him are two females- a brunette and a blonde- and the brunette doesn't seem too impressed when Stefan warmly greets you before introducing you to them. The blonde- Caroline- eagerly commented on your shoes whereas the brunette- Elena- smiled tightly before dragging her friend's attention back on her. Sighing, you take a seat as far from them as possible and grin at Stefan when he smiles apologetically.

Your first two weeks at Mystic Falls High is a fairly easy transition and it's only made easier thanks to Stefan. He introduces you to his other friends, Matt and Bonnie, and they help you memorize where your classes are located. They even join you every other day for lunch and Bonnie just so happens to be there one of the day's Kaylie facetimes you. When she happily greets you and Stefan, Bonnie doesn't stop cooing for the rest of the day after meeting your niece for herself over the phone. Yet another stranger immediately fell for your niece's adorableness.

Then one evening when your brother and his wife go to an out-of-town concert, your niece stays behind and wants to tag along when she hears you talking about getting food. She wants food too and being helpless to her adorableness you take her with you when you decide to check out Mystic Grill.

You sit in a booth and are grateful when Matt walks over with a booster seat for Kaylie, and then quickly place an order for the cheeseburger special and a plate of chicken fingers for your niece. As you're waiting for your food, you see and hear your niece get excited over something she sees. Following her gaze, you can't help but smile when you see a couple familiar faces beaming back.

Stefan and Bonnie soon make their way to your table, and you gesture for them to sit across from you. "Hey, guys. What are you up to?"

"Hi, Stef'n. Bonnie." Kaylie excitedly greets.

"Hey, KG. You're looking mighty precious today." Bonnie reaches across the table and tugs on your niece's pigtail. "You being good?"

"Yeah. Y/N got me chick'n."

"That's awesome! You have got yourself one cool aunt there."

Kaylie giggles and you roll your eyes, meeting Stefan's amused gaze. "We're waiting on Caroline, Elena, and my brother," he says.

"Ahh," you muse. "Does Elena still hate me?"

"She doesn't.. hate you," Bonnie then says, cringing.

"She does," you chuckle. "I mean I get it. Sort of. Not really," you settle on saying. "But it is what it is. I can't force someone to like me."

"She'll get over it," Stefan assures you. "How can she not? You're a pretty fun person."

You scoff. "Please. You were practically forced to be my friend because KG saw you and it was love at first sight for her."

Bonnie snorts and Stefan only smiles wide in response before he glances at Kaylie who's now too busy scribbling on a child's menu with Bonnie. Your food is then brought to the table and you mouth 'thank you' at Bonnie who takes it upon herself to cut up Kaylie's chicken for her. They decline ordering food since they're waiting for the others, and then the others in question are showing up and Kaylie screeches.

"Carowine! Weena!"

The dark haired, blue eyed guy with them smirks. "Weena?"

"She can't say Elena," Elena grins, winking at your niece. "She has trouble with her L's."

And though Elena isn't your biggest fan, you're grateful that her dislike for you didn't rub off on Kaylie. Just like everyone else, Elena was as fond of the four year old as your other friends were.

"Hi. Name's Damon. Stefanie's older, much sexier brother."

At his smirk, your nose wrinkles and you take the biggest bite of your burger you can. With a mouth full of food, you mumble, "Charming." Then looking at Caroline, you nod and swallow your bite. "Hey, Caroline. Good night?"

"Eh." She shrugs. "Could have gone better. I'd much have rather been here than with Damon."

"Y/N." Kaylie tugs you shirt sleeve.

"Yes, ma'am?"

"He's pretty."

You glance at Damon and roll your eyes as he preens under your niece's pointed gesture, and everyone around the table groans. "KG, no," Bonnie complains. "Boys like Damon are the ones you need to stay away from, not call them pretty."

"Girl, we have a lot to teach you," Caroline then says. Damon’s expression turns to one of being offended, but his little grin clues you in to that fact that he's really not.

"Well this has been fun, but I'm pretty sure we're still years away until we have to warn Kaylie about boys. Right, KG?" Your niece hums and then shoves a fry into her mouth and you smother a smile as you look back to your friends. "And I'm sure you guys all want to order your own food and chat, sooo.."

"Right. Yeah," Bonnie says, already pushing Stefan out of the booth. "We'll see you tomorrow at school."

"Uh huh. Bye, guys."

"Bye!" Kaylie then says.

Life in Mystic Falls is going great, so of course things take a turn for the worse just when you're at your happiest.

You're picking up dinner for the family when it happens. Arms full of takeout bags and making your way towards your car, the world around you suddenly blurs for a moment as a sudden grip on the back of your neck yanks you to the side. You end up being slammed against the wall in what appears to be an alley and then some maniac is hissing and sinking his teeth into the side of your neck.

Screaming, you struggle to get the stranger off and give a cry of relief when his weight suddenly disappears from you. Clamping your hand over the side of your neck, you manage to get your bearings just in time to see Stefan pinning the stranger to the opposite wall with one hand.. several feet off the ground. Stefan then slams a piece of sharpened wood into the man's chest and you yelp when Stefan drops him without a single care.

"S-Stefan? What did you just do?" You breathe in shocked awe.

Stefan's shoulders hunch and he keeps his face pointed away. "You're bleeding. You need to go."

Your hand comes away from your neck and you gag at the blood coating it. Covering the wound back up, you stumble forward. "What? I-"

"Now, Y/N! Go now."

"I don't understand," you sniffle. "He just- and you just-"

"Please just go," he murmurs. "The smell-"

"The smell? What smell? Stefan, what's going on?" Stopping just to the side of him, you notice how he keeps his face pointed away. Confused, you reach in and gently grasp his chin to turn him towards you. He resists for a moment before relenting, and you gasp at what you see. The whites of his eyes are dark red and dark veins pulse beneath his eyes. "What are you?" He cringes and steps out of your grasp, and you shake your head clear as you step back. "No. Don't answer that. I don't- I don't wanna know."

"Y/N-"

"No, Stefan, it's fine. I mean it's not, but whatever," you mumble. "I'm just- I'm gonna go home and probably have a good cry in the shower, and I won't- I won't say anything so you don't have to worry."

"Y/N-"

"What, Stefan?" Whirling around, you keep your gaze averted and bite the inside of your cheek to keep from crying. "I just wanna go home."

"..I'm sorry."

A glass bottle rolls somewhere in the alley and the space where Stefan was standing is now empty, as well as the body he had dropped. Tears quickly gather once more in your eyes and you hastily wipe them away with the backs of your hands before rushing out of the alley and towards your car once you realize you had only been on the side of Mystic Grill. The bags of food you had are still lying by your car, so you quickly salvage what you can before climbing into your car and leaving.

And then once you get home, there's a small sink area in the garage that you quickly clean up at and put your hair down to hide the wound on your neck before going inside. Seeing how crumpled the bags look and realizing some of the food is missing, you sheepishly make up a lie about tripping over the bumper blocks in the parking lot and losing some of the food. Your dad waves it off and orders in a couple of pizzas, and you quietly eat your fill before disappearing upstairs.

Then once in the safety of your shower with some music playing at a decent level, you step into the cubicle with the water as hot as you can take it. It stings against the bite wound on your neck, but you manage to wash off and rinse out the wound. You stay under the hot spray as your mind works a mile a minute to figure out just what the hell happened earlier tonight.

The biting, the blood, the wooden stake.. the pieces seem to fit one specific puzzle, but it's something that leaves you reeling. What you're thinking shouldn't be real! But then Stefan showed some impressive strength, his eyes were totally weird, and the smell of your blood unsettled him. Not to mention he was impossibly fast.

Your back hits the warm tile wall and slide down until you're hugging your bent knees to your chest. "For fuck's sake," you mumble. "He totally Edward Cullen'd me."

Having skipped the following day of school to physically and mentally take care of yourself, you're not surprised when you're ambushed by your friends. You are surprised to know that Stefan told them everything and that they'd known about his secret, and even more surprised when they offer to tell you everything. For once Elena doesn't seem cold with you and even asks how you're holding up, so you answer as politely and honestly as you can.

"I'm good. I'm still kind of reeling over the fact that Stefan Cullen'd me, but that's his secret or whatever. I really don't want to know any more than I already do."

"But we want to tell you. I need to tell you," Caroline says and then proceeds to tell her story and how she'd become a vampire herself. Elena too.

Everyone has been through so much and you're not at all offended to learn that the reason Elena didn't take to you right away was because she didn't trust someone as nice as you came off, and that you'd been close to Stefan from the immediate start. Bonnie and Caroline teased her for a bit over that since she was seeing Stefan's brother Damon, and then you were sent reeling once again when Bonnie admitted to being a witch.

"Holy shit. Did you guys have to dump all this information on me at school? We really should have skipped for this."

"We'll take off after lunch," Caroline says, shrugging. "Stefan's moping at the Boarding House and we need you to get him out of his funk."

"Sure. Why not?" You muse.

Getting Stefan to come around is far easier than anyone anticipated, especially after you picked up your niece from your sister. He had seemed shocked when you all trooped into his room and then gobsmacked when you settled Kaylie onto his bed next to him.

"Suck it up, buttercup. The girls gave me the 411. We're all good." Kaylie seemed over the moon with the location change and started talking nonsense to Stefan as everyone settled down, and you smiled in a reassuring manner at him. "Seriously, Salvatore. It's fine."

"But I'm a monster. And you have a four year old crawling all over me."

"If you were a monster, you wouldn't have saved me," you told him. "If you were a monster, you would have sunk your teeth into my neck when the scent of my blood hit your nose. But you didn't."

"I could have."

"I know. But like I said, you didn't. That makes all the difference."

The entire time in Stefan's bedroom was rather intense, but he was eventually wore down. He ended up going back to school and lowering his guard around you, and the entire student population seemed relieved that you and Stefan weren't on the outs anymore. Apparently everyone had thought Stefan had bagged the new girl and had somehow managed to mess it all up, something which your group of friends found hilarious since you and Stefan were oblivious to the fact that there were some serious vibes between the two of you.

Damon had then entered the room and deemed you as his new favorite person when you wrinkled your nose and sighed, "I'm totally Bella Swan. Fuck my life."

Sitting on the porch steps in front of your home, you're scrolling through social media when you hear footsteps approaching. Glancing up, you smile as you see Stefan come to a stop, his hands tucked into the front pockets of his jeans.

"There you are. It feels like I haven't seen you in forever."

"Well you did say you didn't want to be involved in any of our vampire shenanigans."

"Can you blame me?" You laugh, scooting over and patting the spot next to you. "I got a niece who's attached to my hip most days and as much as I like you guys, I rather not be in the same place as the villain of the month when I got KG with me. I might not be involved, but Bonnie's constantly keeping me updated so I know where not to be."

"Speaking of KG," he muses, sitting down next to you. "Damon sends his apologies."

Laughing, you shrug. "Caroline told me about that. They staked a vampire right before my sister-in-law rounded the corner. He told her his friend was blacked out drunk and my in-law thought he was a creep until KG called him and Caroline by name."

"Damon was actually afraid he traumatized KG, so there's a new tablet and a few educational games at our house for her."

"Oh no. He doesn't have to do that."

"Let him. Please," Stefan huffs. "It's been a long while since my brother was genuinely fond of someone that he wasn't sleeping with."

Your soft laughter turns into full belly laughs and Stefan watches as you lay back on the porch, you then draping one arm over your face. "What even is my life? Not only am I friends with vampires and a witch, but said vampires and witch are totally wrapped around a four year old's finger. I should have freaked out more than I did."

"Admit it. It was my boyish good looks that kept you around."

Snorting, you remove your arm from over your face and meet Stefan's amused gaze. Instead of denying it, you shrug. "I thought you were hot before I found out about the fangs. And if I'm being completely honest, I've got a personal kink for pointy teeth. It wasn't that hard of a decision after I figured out how to bandage my neck."

Stefan laughs and reaches for your hand, he then pulling you up with him as he stands. "I blame your Twilight phase."

You gasp. "It was not a phase." Then standing side by side, you try to prevent the oncoming blush as Stefan doesn't release your hand. Instead he slowly fits his fingers between yours. Your eyes narrow as his grin broadens into a smirk. "I just.. read the books."

"And watched the movies?"

"You know I did. You saw the evidence in our DVD collection."

Stefan laughs, squeezing your hand gently. "Come on. Lets go find that niece of yours and take her out to eat before surprising Damon with her."

"You know you being all sorts of adorable and doting on KG only makes me that much more attracted to you, right?"

"Caroline might have mentioned something about ovaries exploding whenever KG starts climbing all over me."

Happy Ending AU

So let's start the expanded lore alternate AU posts with admittedly the most mundane one but also the best guilty pleasure one.

I called it a branch AU on the short post and that's because I go by the theory that there are certain points within the AU where if a single thing went differently it would have entirely different outcomes. One such moment is in regards to the argument that caused the downfall of the 80s Freddy's.

In the Happy Ending AU, the conversation between Pierce and Fred in August of 1987 goes a bit differently than the argument that happens in the main timeline.

Everything's still the same. Pierce was out sick with the flu (let's be real, with his constant lack of sleep/overworking habits and a general disregard for his own health his immune system was just like 'okay you're about to have a real tough time with this'), Fred was still on leave because his twins were just born, and the health/safety inspector that came around was still a no-nonsense woman who had never been sent before. Foxy's still declared dangerous.

In the main AU, Fred comes in specifically to tell Pierce about Foxy with his own ideas of what the plan is and due to exhaustion from recently becoming a father and knowing Pierce is going to take the news badly, he's on guard the whole time and both of them end up saying things that escalate the situation.

In the Happy Ending AU, Fred's still exhausted and on guard but instead of getting frustrated when Pierce suggests he can have revamped Foxy plans prepared in advance so that the time Foxy is decommissioned is shorter, Fred doesn't immediately tell him to basically shut up and do as he says and only worry about Spring Bonnie.

Instead he asks how long it'd take to come up with some workable replacements for the too sharp teeth and hook on Foxy and Pierce tells him he could have a rough idea in a month or two because he's gotta test out what could still be construed as too dangerous himself. Remember these are moving machines Fred, all the motion sensors and gadgets in the world won't do shit if they fall or something.

Fred tells him to work on the plans but to not let it take up all his time since he's still got Spring Bonnie to work on. Then he asks how long it'll take to get Spring Bonnie up and running because it's been a long while and Pierce has been working on it like crazy.

"Maybe by the end of the year, but that's if I keep up with all the rest of the animatronics enough to give me time to work on Spring. If they break in a complicated way or if we have issues with programming it'll cut into that time the way it's been doing. How's the search for another mechanic coming?"

"I can't find anyone. I'm doing my best."

"Yeah. Figured. This might be a longshot but the guy who runs the repair shop I take my bike to has a nephew who's apparently got an eye for electronics. Name's Fritz Smith I think. He was telling me about him last time I was there, I think trying to see if he could get the name out there."

"... I'll look into that."

So yeah, the talk ends amicably and with an actual plan, not just spiteful resentment and stress the way it does in the main story. Fritz Smith, at the time barely out of high school, gets an interview at Freddy's based on the offhand mention of his uncle and gets hired in a trial basis and ends up working part time while still in college. It works out well because remember, the reason Fritz was stressed in the main AU is because Fred was constantly on his case about the failing animatronics and having no assistance to figure out the upgrades left by a mechanic he couldn't contact.

Pierce still is the only one working on Spring Bonnie but once Fritz gets the hang of the different daily maintenance checks and small fixes here and there, Pierce has more time to figure out the last remaining issues with Spring Bonnie and by the middle of January 1988, the diner duo is back in action at Freddy's. The only difference being that they never got the actual gold suit bit fixed because Pierce got the idea that it could be implemented as a story element (he's back, he was hurt for a long time, but he's here now and both old and new characters love him). Fred loved the idea and let him go with it, and with Fritz's help the programming of the diner duo return show was executed flawlessly.

Foxy, who was taken offstage after Finn's sixth birthday party (which went perfectly and no one got hurt), returns in early February of '88 after Fred and Pierce are able to show off Foxy with non-dangerous teeth and hook and prove that unless there were an act of God Foxy couldn't hurt a fly.

In late 1989 for the five year anniversary of this location, the First Mate Finn animatronic used as Foxy's sidekick for the special April Fools' Day show beginning in '87 is made an official part of the lineup.

In '91 an extra security guard (Mike Schmidt) is hired on due to the popularity of Freddy's increasing; talks about finding a larger location are serious.

By the twins 6th birthday in '93, Freddy's has moved to a larger building with more variance in shows. Despite now being 11/12, Finn and Marian are still some of the most well known regulars at Freddy's. Finn has also developed an interest in the animatronics and how they work and both Freddy's mechanics know this well.

There's still tragedy. Maddie Fazbear still is diagnosed with cancer in 1996.

In 1997, Pierce's dad Henry still passes suddenly from a previously unknown heart condition, and with Pierce still around to convince, his mom Jamie tells him he needs to keep up with that kind of check since he lost his dad and grandpa that way. Pierce gets lucky and manages to avoid a problem with this advice. (so how'd he survive in the main au if he wasn't keeping up with this stuff well that's something to be explained later 😎)

Maddie Fazbear still passes away in 1998, even with everything that medicine at the time can do. The family is heartbroken of course- not just immediate family but so many of the people who even just knew of her.

Every year following on her birthday the diner duo play her favorite show song from the original Fredbear's, and every year Fred's still surprised it can hurt that much.

Finn's mom still shows the signs of early onset Alzheimer's beginning in the mid 90s. However, since Finn was never bitten by Foxy, his dad isn't stressed to a point of unawareness due to having both a son who can't remember and a wife beginning to lose her memory and avoids the car crash that would have killed both Patrick and Katherine O'Malley. Finn gets to stay with both his parents which is good, because by 1998 him and Marian (at the time 17/going on 17) have started dating.

By the early 2000s, Finn has started apprenticing at Freddy's to learn how to fix the animatronics because that's his dream. Finn picks it up surprisingly fast, and Fritz, who's been looking for a way to duck out without causing issues, takes this time to respectfully leave Freddy's. He wants to go do his own thing, really, and well, him and longtime boyfriend Mike Schmidt really want to know what the world outside of Spring Valley can bring.

In the mid 2000s, Freddy Jr, now in high school, keeps trying to get a band together. The only kid who shows interest is this kid who Frankie knows from his math class that's called Bonnie. Freddy's skeptical, but Bonnie absolutely kills a guitar solo, and frankly, Freddy's heart is stolen from that moment on, even if he won't say it.

On July 23rd 2005, Fred Fazbear Sr is safe at home with his boys for a monster movie night and doesn't wind up in the accident that takes his life in the main storyline.

Marian and Finn get married in 2007 after dating for over a decade. Everyone's mood is "it's about goddamn time". It's one of the happiest fucking weddings that Spring Valley has ever seen though, that's for sure.

And after that, it's just the rest of the happily ever afters.

Somehow, over all those years, the employees at Freddy's wonder how Pierce was ever the intolerable jackass he's known for being when by the 2010s he's just known as the company grouch.

And Fred never misses a beat with being the best he can be. If anything, he throws more into making Freddy's perfect for families after he loses Maddie since all she ever did was encourage it. She may not have been a constant in the building, but without her love and support, well, what would Freddy's be but a hollow attempt and plea for attention?

Pebble watches still not dead

*Mostly because the users like them and they were murdered by Fitbit.

https://www.ifixit.com/News/rebble-with-a-cause-how-pebble-watches-got-their-amazing-afterlife

In the early summer of 2018, you could buy an Apple Watch with built-in GPS, wireless payments, and speakers that buzz water out after a swim. Meanwhile, Katharine Berry was hustling to keep five-year-old watches with black and white screens alive.

Berry had worked for Pebble, maker of the first notable smartwatch. The company was acquired by Fitbit and shut down a year and a half earlier. Now Fitbit was turning off the servers that fed Pebbles apps, weather, and other useful data.

But Berry and a cadre of crafty enthusiasts, the Rebble Alliance, had prepared for this moment. They had archived Pebble’s web and development assets, opened up the devices’ firmware a bit, and worked with former Pebble and Fitbit developers inside a Discord channel. Berry, between jobs, sprinted for two weeks to code a replacement cloud infrastructure. She guessed that, if they could pull it off, maybe a thousand people, at most, would try it out.

One morning seven months later, Berry realized that Rebble had 100,000 accounts. Today, more than 212,000 accounts have been created—more than 10% of the two million Pebbles ever sold—and nearly 9,000 have subscribed. Press coverage certainly helped. But, really, it is Rebblers’ enthusiasm that keeps their watches running, precisely because Pebbles are not modern, in all the best ways.

“It goes out of its way to get out of my way,” said Joshua Wise, one of Rebble’s primary developers. “The Apple Watch … and Android Wear wanted you to interact with them, to make them the center of your life. The Pebble wants to not at all be part of your life, up until it does something useful for you, and then it lets you go back to your life.”

Rebble is saving thousands of gadgets from the bin and building a real community around dogged longevity

Rebble is an inspiring repair story, and the way Pebble enabled this second life is a path that every gadget manufacturer should strive to emulate. Pebble created an open (and open-source) environment for developers and enthusiasts. As a direct result, Rebble is saving thousands of gadgets from the bin and building a real community around dogged longevity. Keeping Pebbles running, in the face of much fancier options, knitted the community together.

From Grandpa Bike to Next Steve Jobs

Eric Migicovsky was studying abroad at the University of Delft, Netherlands in 2008. He fit in with his sturdy, reliable cruiser bike (known to locals as an opafiets, or sometimes “Grandpa bike”), but he knew he would crash if he kept checking his text messages while riding. In his dorm room, he patched together an Arduino controller, a few buttons, a battery, and the screen from a disassembled Nokia 3310. His first idea was a bike computer, but “someone was like, you should probably just make it a watch,” he later said....

Chapter 5: The Unblinding Truth

It had been an eventful week, All the restless love making from the has put this young mug into an endless routine. Not that he liked having sex with his kettle but just the fact that his heart beat fast for him was enough to know that his love for his him was strong. So every day the mug boy would work out in the fields, go to the marketplace, and work on maintenance inside and outside the house as usual. Outside the realms of his home he was his old Mugman self, hardworking and reliable all across the land, but when he gets home, safely behind closed doors, his mind focused on one thing, his grandfather. Every day he would give him a kiss in the morning and one in the evening. Like before it was all a routine.

It wasn’t weird per say to the open eye but it didn’t bother the two in the slightest. Suppose it was just a matter of time before they expose their love to the world.

On the other end, Elder Kettle was his normal self as he went along the other areas of the house to see how his inventions were operating. In Short he was basically trying to move his body after all the sexual encounters he had with his grandson. He didn’t mind taking a few extra poundings here and there but it was more so checking to see if his inventions weren’t soiled in bodily fluids or destroyed from their rough housing.

It was interesting that an elderly person much so like elder kettle would have the capabilities to create such fascinating gadgets. He wasn’t like other elderly people, Ooooh no, this Kettle’s true passion is creating new inventions for his grandsons, and maybe possibly for others as well. Spending most of his time tinkering, hammering, and fiddling with screws and wires.

In the deepest part of the house, the elder stood at his work desk fiddling with something in his messily gloved hand. “Hmmmmm that should do it.” Readjusting the object in his hand. It was early in the morning, probably around the time that Cuphead left for “work”. Sun had yet to seep through the hillside where no roosters cawed at its suspecting radiance. The mug boy was still asleep in his own chambers only for the time being. Reason for that is because they didn’t want to give away any suspicions for cuphead to notice. For now in this very moment the elderly kettle was at peace, it was a relaxing day to just sit and mind his own business and his inventions.

Pressing a button, a sudden “BZZZZZZZZZZZZ” sound came from the object. “Works good.” He stated as he began stretching his arms above his head. The sound began to continue and the elder pressed another button to make the object change to different vibration patterns. “Hmmmm Maybe I should adjust it by a sinch.” He retorted as he fiddled with the contraption. Soon after he was done, the elderly kettle pressed the bottom to turn it off and looked over at his somewhat messy form “I better get breakfast going.”

With that he got up and walked across the deep hallway to an open room. He sighed as he gazed upon an empty messy bed next to mugman’s. “Hehehe messy as always.” He chuckled. A sleeping form was slightly shuffling in the covers of it’s bed. The elder walked up to it and placed a warm welcoming hand on the blanket. “My boy, better wake up soon, I’ll be making breakfast by the time the rooster crows.” With that, he walked his way out the room and left to wash up.

An hour later..

Coming into the kitchen, the mug boy spotted his grandfather cooking some breakfast by the sunlit window. “Morning Grandpa” Walking up to his lover and embracing him from the back. “Had a good night’s rest Mugman?” Earning a kiss on the cheek, “I did.” The elder looked over his shoulder at his grandson, who is still holding onto his Grandfather’s torso. “Hehe Mugman, I’m cooking right now. I don’t want you getting burned from the stove.” Another kissed was placed on his neck. “But I love you sooo much.” He moaned. The elder playfully shoved him “Mugman.” The mug boy retreated “okokok hehehe.”

Breakfast was served and they both ate in silence. It was the typical pancakes and syrup from the pantry. It was really good to the young mugs perspective “Breakfast tastes great.” He grabbed another fork full of pancakes. “Your being too generous my boy, it ‘s a simple recipe.” He smiled as he too continued to eat his early morning meal. As they continued to eat the elderly kettle looked up at his well fed grandson “While you were sleeping, I was making something in my studies.” Mugman paused and looked up at him with some reminisce of pancake on his fork. His face covered in crumbs.

The kettle continued “I believe you might like it my boy.” While finishing up the last stacks of pancakes. Mugman couldn’t hesitate and hastily finished up his breakfast. When it comes to inventions it made him, and also his brother cuphead, eager with anticipation.

It was a usual reaction whenever their grandfather made something.

I wonder what grandfather whipped up this time, he ate excitedly. The elder saw his fast pace scorging, “slow down Mugman, I don’t want you to choke on your food.” He stated, cleaning up his plate in the sink. “Oh Shorry gramma.” Face full of food.

“Be sure to clean up your stuff when your done.” The elder stated and left into the living room. Mugman looked over at his meal, seeing that it was almost done. He used the remaining time to finish and clean up the kitchen table. This took about thirty or so minutes to complete, which was enough.

“Grandpa, I finished my-” he spotted his grandfather on the window side looking over the outside autumn leaves that flushed out the colors in the breeze. Mugman thought he looked radiant.

“Um, Grandpa?” The elder looked over him. “Sorry, I was just admiring the change in the leaves” looking back at the window. “It’s subtle, but very beautiful don’t you think?”

The enlightened mug sighed, “Grandpa..” he walked across the living room and sat next to him. “You know I love you right?” The elder nodded. “I want to hear from you…” he looked down in hesitation but continued. “What are your thoughts on our relationship?”

The elderly kettle stared back at him in awe. “Mugman.” He tenderly cupped his grandson’s cheek. “Have I not told you before? My love for you is unconditional.” The mug’s eyes softened at his elder’s touch, leaning into his palm like it was their last meeting.

“Grandpa” The mug boy was edging in closer to his kettle. “My heart beats for you.” Grasping his elder’s hand and placing it against his chest. “Always.” He smiled.

“And as do I my boy.” The slowly leaned in taking in each other’s scent. One of scented metal and porcelain that instills the perfect combination.

They shared a loving kiss. Mugman wrapping his strong arms around his lover, embracing every moment. And elder kettle reciprocated the same in return.

They both stayed for a long while. Sparks continued to fly in all sorts of directions. Well… most likely steam. As soon as they parted from their intimate moment the dazed mug stared lovingly down at his grandfather. “What’d ya say we change things up a bit in bed, grandpa.” He purrred. “Your still horny as always my b-“

A sound thumped to the floor…. both Mugman and elder kettle stopped in their tracks as they traced the noise back to the entryway of the kitchen. A grocery back from the marketplace filled with produce and other necessities lie format. But the owner of it all stood before them…. in petrified shock. There…. stood in the midst of it all, Cuphead.

His face contorted in a most horrific look that anyone could’ve mustered. Mugman was sharing the same look as the one person that hated this kind of relationship… stood at the opening of his demise.

“How… I…. Wha-“ the cup boy was frozen. His hands trembled. He couldn’t believe his glassy eyes, tears began forming in the corner. “Cuphead I can explain!?” Cuphead flinched, taking a step back. Why…. why did he have to come home to…. this….

Mugman stood trying to approach him like he was a scared wounded animal. “Please, j-just let me expla-.” “WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!!” The cupboy sudden anger began showing.

“Cuphead, Calm Down!!” The elder retorted. “NO! NO! NO! I REJECT THIS!!! I-I CAN’T!” The cautious mug was in front of his brother and lightly grasped his shoulder.

The scared cup jerked himself away and pushed his brother. “YOU’RE FUCKING SICK!!!! THATS OUR GRANDPA!!!”

“Cuphead I-“ the mug tried to explain but his brother beat him to it. “F-FUCK!!” Tears began falling from his eyes “No… I can’t take this! Not like this!” Mugman tried to interview but cuphead has rly bolted through the back Listen and out the door.

“CUPHEAD WAI-“ the elder grabbed his shoulder. “Wait Mugman, don’t this will upset him even more.”

“But I can just let him be! Who knows what he could do.” Hot stream of tears trailed down his eyes. “I don’t want to lose my brother.” The elder hugged his grandson. “I’m sorry my boy.” Joining his melancholy upbringing.

“I truly am….”

Arrow FanFic | Dinah x Laurel | A Christmas Miracle

Part 4 – The Miracle (AO3 Link)

A vicious chill threads through the alleyway outside the Carmine Kanigher Shelter, sending waste detritus of modern civilization skittering in every direction. Mice and rats flee for cover as fat flakes of snow begin to fall. Soon the entire area will be blanketed in a carpet of fluffy white powder. A Christmas Miracle for Star City courtesy of a recently reunited father and daughter duo of certain...arctic talents who are in town for the first of what will become the annual Team Flarrowgirl – a universally reviled portmanteau courtesy of one Ralph Dibney – Christmas extravaganza.

Pushing off the cinder block he’s occupied for the second time tonight over the past few minutes, Marv adopts a toothy grin. He already worked his seasonal miracle, which if his best friend Nora’s spotty accounting of history unrelated to her dad can be trusted is taking place right about...now. Nervously, he lifts the sleeve of his jacket to check the vitals monitor on the modular biometrically keyed device wrapped around his wrist, finding all readings back within ideal parameters whereas only hours before they were fluctuating wildly. Just to be sure his efforts were indeed successful, he pinches himself in several places to ensure his central nervous system is still functioning correctly that he is still corporeal and has not disintegrated due to a seismic shift within the causal domino chain that will eventually result in his birth less than six years from his present location in spacetime.

As a reward for a mission accomplished, he sifts through the menus on what Nora calls their Vibe-rators – bless the innocent, adorable, perpetual child that she is, Nora has yet to grasp why nicknaming the gadgets that in honor of their esteemed inventor, their beloved Uncle Cisco, was not quite the honor she thought it was – and quickly deactivates the artificial aging matrix produced by some seriously shway tech that, savvy as he is, even he doesn’t fully understand. He also unilaterally decides to never adopt the pseudonym Marv ever again.

Honestly, what was I thinking going with that? Quen shakes his head, chuckling ruefully as the answer dawns on him. There is a longstanding Christmas Eve tradition in his house of watching Christmas movies all evening until everyone is too tired to keep going, and this year they are breaking out amongst other titles both of Macaulay Culkin’s Home Alone films. Double-dipping those gems before bed is, in his opinion, just about the perfect way to cap off a perfect Christmas Day with his family. Which is why he has to get a move on or he’ll be late and his Moms will not be happy. Nor will Aunt Sara and Aunt Ava, who are actually supposed to drop by this year instead of ducking his Mom’s invite with some lame explanation of a temporal anomaly that needed fixing like, pronto. Come to think of it, Maya, his older sister by a year and a half, is coming back home from a work thing in National City for the annual Lance family Christmas and will almost certainly use his tardiness as another excuse to hit him. And Quen can’t have that. She has enough reasons as is without adding valid cause. Plus, his damn shoulder has been abused enough by his sibling’s iron fists, thank you very much!

Glancing back toward the street he’d watched a younger, more hardened version of his softer mother approach him from, the familiar tug of welcome memory pulls him under its sway. His Ma is still a knock-out according to all his friends, who often break out an ancient acronym he chooses to ignore so as to not require a bleaching of his brain, so the age difference was not that jarring. But it was beyond weird to see her so restrained and world weary.

Of his parents, his Ma is the positive one, the tactile huggy, kissy, slightly smothery mom who sings while she cooks, dances as she cleans, and who cried – on camera! – at his graduation...every last one of the four so far. So many wonderful memories of her flash by that he can hardly sort through them all. Her singing him to sleep while he was little and really, really sick while his Mom cradled him close to her chest and rocked him in her favorite rocking chair. The absurd, bonkers, overboard, birthday bashes she organized for both him and his sister every friggin’ year until they were old enough to insist she dial back the adorable insanity. The way she would stand to the side giggling uncontrollably at his ultra-competitive Mom once he got old enough to regularly beat her at basketball or soccer or video games. How a few stern words from her spoke volumes more than a profuse tirade from his Mom ever could amongst one of the many lectures he endured regarding the vital importance of taking responsibility for one’s own actions. How she always smells like an amazing blend of vanilla and cinnamon and can with a single enveloping hug and a lingering forehead kiss banish every iota of hurt, confusion, pain, and fear plaguing her children, even when they are fully grown adults. His Ma is a lionhearted woman who loves with every last ounce of her strength, and it was more than a little disconcerting to witness her holding that ferociousness ransom in the obviously fading hope that a rescuer might appear to set it free. Thankfully, he is a devoted son who is willing to brave her wrath to secure her happiness, which he did by pushing her toward a certain irritatingly complicated blonde.

The various images of his Ma, heartwarming as they are, mingle with one of his other mom as he watched her first set foot in the shelter. Looking for all the world like she didn’t know what the hell she was doing there, all the while unwilling to surrender an inch to fear or doubt, she was yet so fragile he was afraid to even breath in her general direction lest she shatter into a million pieces. He had to get to know her first before he risked ingratiating himself to the point she would grant him permission for one stilted hug.

He’d like to say that it shocked him to see her so walled off, the woman who carried and nourished him inside her body for nine months and then endured unspeakable pain to deliver him safely into the world, but it didn’t. His Mom has always had trouble letting people in, which in combination with her frightening dark side could make her a foreboding person to approach. From his first memories, he can recall glimpsing fleeting specters of what he’d witnessed in earnest while on this escapade in the past: a simmering rage and innate cynicism fueled by pain that only his Ma can assuage. Once or twice he was the unlucky target to bear the brunt of an outburst that scared him witless, and scared his Mom even more – so much so that she would sequester herself in the bedroom or the spare bathroom until she calmed down or his Ma intervened to soothe the offended beast back into her thick iron mental cage. He never really understood why his Mom got that way sometimes until just last year, about five months after his eighteenth birthday, when he learned about Black Siren. That wasn’t a happy time for him, or for his Mom. He had always known she had a troubled past, but that...that shook the foundations of his essential being, made him doubt his own moral and ethic core, and worst of all caused him to doubt his Mom’s ability to love. It took both his Ma and his Uncle Ollie teaming up to knock some sense into him for him to get his head out of his ass and to stop avoiding and start talking to his Mom again.

And now? Well, now he’s glad he knows about Black Siren, because if nothing else, this trip into the past has given him a reality check as to just how awful his Mom’s life was to have molded her into the hateful person she was before his Grandpa took a chance on her that his Ma later picked up and ran with. Once, and fortuitously, she got to the shelter early enough to join in a group session with the therapist that visits the facility once per week. He had to sit there silently and listen as she got roped into sharing, then grit his teeth through the empathetic agony of her divulging a lot more than she had originally intended. The things she went through before she met his Ma...Quen shudders at the very thought. The silver lining to that intolerable experience is that at least he has a reference to work with dealing with her occasional mood swings.

Also, this foray has given him a new, unique perspective into how much his parents love each other. To have overcome so much adversity just to be together is, quite frankly, astonishing. Nora has told him so many times that his Moms’ love story rivals that of any epic parental romance within the group of kids belonging to the venerated members of the Justice League, but he never quite believed her. How could he when they were competing with the likes of Superman and Lois Lane, the Green Arrow and his Overwatch, the Flash and Iris West, and Supergirl and her mysteriously broody governmental handler all the kids simply know as their favorite Aunt Alex. But those precious hours surreptitiously watching them interact in the kitchen and during the post-dinner clean up operation afforded him a view that, while slightly biased, was able to recognize that same divine spark between them that he sensed whenever he was around his friends’ folks. It was nice, so nice that his heart is still soaring high in the clouds above, to be given the immense privilege of bearing witness to the event that will begin an inevitable spiral into his – and his sister’s – future conception upon a recovered Kryptonian Genesis ship. And come what may, be it unavoidable tragedy like Nora’s Uncle Wally getting imprisoned outside the timeline by Abra Kadabra, or some catastrophic event like Darkseid himself descending upon his Earth tomorrow, he won’t be forgetting this adventure any time soon. It has ignited in him a flame of hope that cannot be quenched and solidified a belief that will endure until his death that love really can conquer all.

“Well, I guess you guys will see me in five years and twelve months on the dot” he says, his gaze turning instinctively to the apartment in which he knows his parents to be making the first baby steps toward a future they have both risked life and limb to protect multiple times. “Good thing it’ll be sooner for me. Just hope you guys don’t kill me when I tell you where I’ve been for the past month...”

And with the press of a button upon his Vibe-rator – he snickers at the thought of the name – Quentin Nicholas Lance disappears from view to join his best friend for their return trip to the future. He is not seen again until many years later. Twenty-four years, ten days, seven hours, and thirteen minutes to be precise, which is two minutes late and of no consequence to anyone but Maya, who uses that as an excuse to hit him.

Damn that punchy brat.

Quen rubs his sore arm, but the smile on his face remains until he is engulfed by two pairs of arms that officially ring in another Merry Christmas for the Lances. To his unending delight, in addition to a new Quantum Tablet, his Moms pulled some really big strings to get him into the Air Force Academy. He can’t wait to tell Nora! And as he rushes to dial his bestie up on his Vibe-device, he gives them both the biggest hugs he can muster up. He doesn’t see how their eyes catch over his shoulder, glowing with love for each other and pride for their child and happiness over his happiness, but then again he doesn’t really need to. He sees it every single day. Nor would it have registered even if he had caught it. He is far too excited to think of little else than realizing his dream of becoming a pilot.

Merry Christmas to me! He thinks as he hears Nora’s voice chime through the tiny, nearly impervious subdermal implants designed by his Uncle Cisco that were wired into his ears after a childhood accident his Mom still hasn’t forgiven herself for rendered him deaf.

“Hey! You’ll never guess what I got for Christmas!”

Nora does guess, the know-it-all brat, but his enthusiasm doesn’t diminish one iota. This is, after all, the best Christmas ever. And not just because he got everything he wanted, but because he got to watch his parents take the final steps in their journey falling in love. How many kids get to make that boast? Not any he knows of besides Nora.

Quen has an extended family that loves him, a bright future ahead of him, a sister that would fight the world for him, and Moms who love him – and each other – more than he could ever begin to describe. And that makes him the luckiest kid alive.

THE END

Being frugal isn’t just for moms who are looking to stretch the family budget a little further, or people who have a limited income and want to live as well as possible as they can with what they have – it’s for everyone. Kids, grandparents, teenagers – there isn’t anyone who couldn’t benefit from being a bit more frugal with their money. Doing so will make it less likely that they get into debt and increase their chances of living comfortably in the long-term.

With that in mind, here are some frugal living tips for the whole family:

Shop to List

One of the simplest aspects of frugal living, which can be applied to anyone who buys food is to shop to a list. Check your pantry and your fridge etc., before you head off to the store, note down only what you need to see you through the week and just buy that. You’ll eat perfectly well without wasting money.

Become a Scratch Cook

Teaching your children to cook is one of the most important life skills you can impart upon them because, no matter how young or old you are, cooking from scratch is a great way to save money and eat a healthier diet. If your kids can cook, then they’re less likely to put on the dreaded freshman 15 by eating convenience foods all the time.

Extend Health Insurance

Extending your health insurance so that it still covers your kids when they’re an adult is a great way to look after them and ensure that they can get the help they need should they get sick. It’s typically less expensive than them taking out their own policy, which means they might be able to contribute towards your policy when they can’t afford their own, and it will give the rest of the family greater peace of mind.

Get Life Insurance

If you’re thinking that paying out for another insurance policy is the opposite of being frugal, then you obviously haven’t been very frugal in the past. You see, having insurance policies, whether it’s the best senior life insurance policy out there, a policy for parents or even a policy for children, it ensures that other members of the family aren’t burdened financially should the unthinkable happen. When a person dies, there are a lot of expenses to deal with from the funerals, to paying the bills they might have been responsible for. So, if you’re a responsible family member, you will insure yourself and anyone else who warrants it.

Have a Piggy Bank

If everyone in the family has their own piggy bank or even a communal one, and they learn to put their spare change in there every day instead of squandering it on expensive coffees or a little candy, then you could easily save hundreds of dollars each year and use that money to save for college, repair the roof, or even treat yourself to the occasion family vacation or some other longed-for treat.

Grow Your Own Food

If the cost of keeping your family in food is getting too much to handle, why not start supplementing with some of your own? Depending on where you’re based, there’ll be a whole host of fruits and veggies you can grow at a fraction of the cost of buying them, and gardening is a great family activity, which has also been shown to teach kids about nature and healthy eating, improve symptoms of depression and help seniors to keep physically and mentally fit. If you have the land, it really is one of the best things you can do to be frugal and take good care of your family.

Give the Gift of Time

As a frugal person, take the time to speak to the other members of your family and come to some sort of agreement on gifts whereby it is time, not material possessions that are given. As you will probably know, lots of family members, particularly grandparents, like to spoil younger family members with toys and gadgets. The thought is certainly a good one, but what this does is raise the kids’ expectations about the kind of things they should have and cause much more money to be spent than necessary. Anyway, grandparents, aunts, etc., would probably prefer more quality time doing a simple, frugal activity with the ones they love than simply exchanging extravagant gifts!

Give Crafty Gifts

Alternatively, you could bring in a rule that any gifts given have to be handmade. Hand Making things can be a lot cheaper than buying them from the store, and it encourages the whole family to get their creative juices flowing. Little kids will be particularly happy about this because it will mean that they can give a meaningful gift to gammy or big sister and they’ll feel totally included in the process.

Buy in Bulk

If you have an extended family who live close by and who you’re close to, you can make really huge savings by buying in bulk. Work out all of the foods and supplies that you all buy on a regular basis and then make a big bulk order, which should be significantly more than buying separately. Then, simply pay for your share and decant the goods into your own containers. You’ll be amazed exactly how big the savings can be!

If you don’t have family, getting together to do this with friends and neighbors is also a possibility, and actually, the more people who get involved, the bigger the savings will be at the end of the day.

Reuse Everything

Whether it’s encouraging your teenager to repurpose her old clothing into some unique outfits that will impress her friends, having your toddler craft with old paper cups or upcycling your old furniture, so it’s as good as new, there are countless ways to reuse the things you already have, so that you don’t have to waste money on new stuff that, probably won’t be as good, and certainly not as much fun, anyway.

Install Smart Thermostats

Smart thermostats can save money by adjusting the settings according to conditions even when you forget to do it yourself. That’s why you should install on in your home, and the home of any seniors, or less tech-savvy members of your family. They’ll appreciate the gesture a whole lot, especially when they see how much smaller their fuel bills are.

Rent Board Games

If you’re looking for a fun, frugal activity that will also bring the whole family together, then you can’t go wrong with board game rentals. There are lots of places, including libraries, that will rent out all of the family favorites for a small fee (sometimes no fee at all) and it’s a great way to spend a few hours that isn’t as expensive as eating out or going to the cinema, and certainly nowhere near as expensive as cable!

Holiday Together

If you have a big family, and you all enjoy an annual vacation, you might find that if you do so together, in one big group, you’ll get a discount if you book a package vacation. Obviously, this will only work out if you all get on, but bear in mind that just because you travel together and stay in the same villa, it doesn’t mean that you need to be in each others’ pockets all the time, and actually, having more family there might mean you get more time to yourselves. Why? Because you can take it in turn to entertain the kids; grandma and grandpa can have them one day, you the next, uncle the day after and so on. It might actually be one of the best vacations you’ve ever had!

Utilize Online Education

Whether your teenage son wants to learn how to code, you want to learn how to make dresses, or your mother wants to take up art to keep her occupied during retirement, you can find all manner of free tutorials and classes online. You can also find some low-cost paid for classes if you want to get really into it, and it’s almost always cheaper than paying for classes in the ‘real’ world.

Create an Emergency Fund

Image source

If you are the main breadwinner in the family, then you should be setting aside a little cash each month with a view to building up an emergency fund that covers at least 12 months’ salary. That way, should you end up out of work, not only will you not have to worry about paying the bills, but you won’t have to worry about asking other members of the family for health. In fact, even if you aren’t the main breadwinner, starting your own emergency fund is probably a good idea because it gives you a little more independence should your financial situation change for the worse.

If you and your family do even a fraction of these things, then you will notice that, not only do you have more money in the bank, but you have a lot more fun together, making memories that will last a lifetime. It just goes to show that being frugal can be fun!

What Is an Atomic Clock?

The clock is ticking: A technology presentation that might change the method human beings check out space is nearing its target launch date of June 24, 2019. Established by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California, the Deep Space Atomic Clock is a major upgrade to the satellite-based atomic clocks that, for instance, make it possible for the GPS on your phone.

Eventually, this brand-new technology might make spacecraft navigation to far-off places like Mars more self-governing. However what is an atomic clock? How are they utilized in space navigation, and what makes the Deep Space Atomic Clock various? Keep reading to get all the responses.

Why do we utilize clocks to browse in space?

To identify a spacecraft’s range from Earth, navigators send out a signal to the spacecraft, which then returns it to Earth. The time the signal needs to make that two-way journey exposes the spacecraft’s range from Earth, since the signal takes a trip at a recognized speed (the speed of light).

While it might sound complex, the majority of us utilize this idea every day. The supermarket may be a 30-minute walk from your home. If you understand you can perambulate a mile in 20 minutes, then you can compute the range to the shop.

By sending out numerous signals and taking numerous measurements in time, navigators can compute a spacecraft’s trajectory: where it is and where it’s headed.

The majority of contemporary clocks, from watches to those utilized on satellites, keep time utilizing a quartz crystal oscillator. These gadgets make the most of the reality that quartz crystals vibrate at an accurate frequency when voltage is used to them. The vibrations of the crystal imitate the pendulum of a grandpa clock, checking off just how much time has actually passed.

To understand the spacecraft’s position within a meter, navigators require clocks with accuracy time resolution — clocks that can determine billionths of a 2nd.

Navigators likewise require clocks that are incredibly steady. “Stability” describes how regularly a clock determines a unit of time; its measurement of the length of a 2nd, for instance, requires to be the exact same (to much better than a billionth of a 2nd) over days and weeks.

What do atoms involve clocks?

By space navigation requirements, quartz crystal clocks aren’t really steady. After just an hour, even the best-performing quartz oscillators can be off by a nanosecond (one billionth of a 2nd). After 6 weeks, they might be off by a complete millisecond (one thousandth of a 2nd), or a range mistake of 185 miles (300 kilometers). That would have a big influence on determining the position of a fast-moving spacecraft.

Atomic clocks integrate a quartz crystal oscillator with an ensemble of atoms to attain higher stability. NASA’s Deep Space Atomic Clock will be off by less than a nanosecond after 4 days and less than a split second (one millionth of a 2nd) after 10 years. This is comparable to being off by just one 2nd every 10 million years.

Atoms are made up of a nucleus (including protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons. Each aspect on the table of elements represents an atom with a specific variety of protons in its nucleus. The variety of electrons swarming around the nucleus can differ, however they should inhabit discreet energy levels, or orbits.

A shock of energy — in the kind of microwaves — can trigger an electron to increase to a greater orbit around the nucleus. The electron should get precisely the correct amount of energy — suggesting the microwaves should have a really particular frequency — in order to make this dive.

The energy needed to make electrons alter orbits is distinct in each aspect and constant throughout deep space for all atoms of an offered aspect. For example, the frequency essential to make electrons in a carbon atom modification energy levels is the exact same for every single carbon atom in deep space. The Deep Space Atomic Clock utilizes mercury atoms; a various frequency is essential to make those electrons alter levels, which frequency will correspond for all mercury atoms.

“The fact that the energy difference between these orbits is such a precise and stable value is really the key ingredient for atomic clocks,” stated Eric Burt, an atomic clock physicist at JPL. “It’s the reason atomic clocks can reach a performance level beyond mechanical clocks.”

Having the ability to determine this unchangeable frequency in a specific atom deals science a universal, standardized measurement of time. (“Frequency” describes the variety of waves that pass a specific point in space in an offered system of time. So, by counting waves, it’s possible to determine time.) In reality, the main measurement of the length of a 2nd is figured out by the frequency required to make electrons leap in between 2 particular energy levels in a cesium atom.

In an atomic clock, the frequency of the quartz oscillator is changed into a frequency that is used to a collection of atoms. If the obtained frequency is appropriate, it will trigger numerous electrons in the atoms to alter energy levels. If the frequency is inaccurate, far less electrons will leap. This will identify if the quartz oscillator is off-frequency and by just how much. A “correction” figured out by the atoms can then be used to the quartz oscillator to guide it back to the appropriate frequency. This kind of correction is computed and used to the quartz oscillator every couple of seconds in the Deep Space Atomic Clock.

What’s distinct about the Deep Space Atomic Clock?

Atomic clocks are utilized onboard GPS satellites that orbit the Earth, however even they should be sent out updates 2 times each day to fix the clocks’ natural drift. Those updates originate from more steady atomic clocks on the ground that are big (typically the size of a fridge) and not developed to make it through the physical needs of going to space.

Approximately 50 times more steady than the atomic clocks on GPS satellites, NASA’s Deep Space Atomic Clock is meant to be the most steady atomic clock ever flown in space. It attains this stability by utilizing mercury ions.

Ions are atoms that have a net electrical charge, instead of being electrically neutral. In any atomic clock, the atoms are included in a vacuum chamber, and in a few of those clocks, atoms engage with the vacuum chamber walls. Ecological modifications such as temperature level will then trigger comparable modifications in the atoms and cause frequency mistakes. Numerous atomic clocks utilize neutral atoms, however since the mercury ions have an electrical charge, they can be included in an electro-magnetic “trap” to avoid this interaction from taking place, enabling the Deep Space Atomic Clock to attain a brand-new level of accuracy.
