Check out my writing!

I have finally gotten back into the writing groove again and I haven't posted about it a lot on here so I am making a list (with links) of the stuff I have written lately! There's going to be a mix of video game and wrestling fanfics!

Links are below the cut!

Blessed Are The Peacemakers (Red Dead Redemption 2)

Hosea has a gut feeling.

And he really wishes that he was wrong.

Mending Fences AU (Wrestling)

This AU is made of four fics so far. It details the saga of Yuta making amends and 'mending fences' with Chuck and Orange.

You've Got Red On You (Wrestling)

"Love you." Orange says, leaning his head on Chuck's shoulder.

"Love you, too."

Backslide (Wrestling)

Max rolls his eyes and opens the door, allowing Caster to come inside against his better judgement.

Who said he makes great choices anyway?

Friend, Please (Wrestling)

"Orange is missing."

Chuck's head shoots up instantly. "What?"

Trapdoor (Wrestling)

Orange is not okay.

And there is only one person to watch out for him, now.

Brother (Call of Duty: Ghosts)

The Walker brothers have a late night.

Finders Keepers (Red Dead Redemption 2)

God.

Hosea hopes he doesn't regret this.

(Or a story in which the curious couple finds and acquires some unruly sons)

Resurrect The Sun (Wrestling)

Orange has seen this before.

It's like a plague.

Wish I Didn't Know Now (What I Didn't Know Then) (Wrestling)

Orange isn't doing so hot.

Snap Back (Wrestling)

Yuta is feeling a bit anxious.

Well, scrap that.

He's feeling very anxious.

Bullet Holes In Butterfly Wings (And Blue Jeans) (Wrestling)

Willow and Kyle spend some time in Orange's locker room.

Fathers and Son Hanahaki AU (Wrestling)

This AU is made of three fics. It deals with Yuta contracting hanahaki disease.

Father and Son (Batman: Arkham Knight)

Jason has some... complicated feelings as he returns home.

[livingdeadvoid]

I love them all please don't make me pick :')

[m00nz-writes]

Due to the fact that the movies underutilized Logan's animal empathy, I made the choice that Olivia uses this ability heavily in the RDR2/X-Men crossover AU.

It only makes sense that Liv would use her animal empathy more than Logan would, especially since after her amnesia she spends a lot more time traveling with her horse, Magnus. Liv doesn't feel as though she belongs in the Van der Linde gang due to not remembering anything and it also isn't easy with Micah fucking Bell in her ear saying some of the most rancid and discriminatory shit about mutants because if that motherfucker is racist, then he'd def hate mutants too.

On the topic of other members of the gang; Liv would be very close to the ladies of the gang, obviously, because women stay together. And the people she's the closest to friendship wise are Arthur, John, Lenny, Uncle, Charles, and Sean. Liv and Arthur have a strong "responsible big brother/reckless little sister" bond and everywhere he goes, she will often shadow him because she looks to him for strength and guidance. And during the events of the first game, Olivia travels and works with John.

Liv constantly butts heads with Dutch due to her being able to catch onto the fact that maybe he's not the "amazing" leader everyone claims he is thanks to the amnesia removing any sort of good memories of him. Olivia and Javier have a relationship, one that existed before the amnesia and now is reforming after it. Though after the gang starts to fall apart, Liv and Javier break apart due to his blind devotion to Dutch.

By 1911, Liv and Javier are such drastically different people between his disloyalty to everybody and Olivia's bitterness that the likelihood of them ever being the same is impossible. Despite this, Olivia actually saves him from execution because she can't handle anymore pain of losing anybody else, so it's more of a final goodbye than anything.

Will I ever make this into a full fledged fic? Probably not. I want to but without a computer to help me keep shit in line, writing is fucking impossible. Writing on my phone is a fucking joke but I kind of have to. I would love to turn this into a fic but for right now, it's just a bunch of ideas and a general outline.

Part 3

[imsosocold]

The part of Red that struck me most in the moment:

Something about Rothko telling Ken that he has a future outside of the studio,  Ken never being heard of again after he leaves it, and the play ending soon after Ken goes. Out of universe it makes sense, as Ken didn’t actually exist but looking as it from within the in play’s universe it’s…temporal, like the type of art Rothko claimed Ken liked.

[bbgghost]

lot to love: chapter 1

blurb: you are the nineteen year old, younger, mutant sister of Mystique. you go to Professor X's school and have been since you were young. this is going to be slowburn with wolverine ♡♡♡

a.n. this is my first time writing!!! but i love logan hopefully this is okay :3 i didn't know whether to call fire boy pyro or john so yeah -

c.w. there are some very brief very small references to past abuse, this is to align with Mystiques storyline! logan is obvi at least 150 years older than the reader so age-gap! I made the reader have cherry red hair just because Mystique does and I think it's a universally pretty hair colour!

masterlist

‘The main reasoning that the U.S. government used mutants as weapons during World War Two was because of what?’ You read the first question in your head. Biting your lip you looked at Bobby’s paper next to yours. You could barely see what he was writing, what with his arms basically covering the entire page. You rolled your eyes and lifted you body up ever so slightly. He’s supposed to be your friend and he’s covering the goddamn answer! A low grunt wakes you from your thoughts.

At the front of the classroom sat the one and only Logan Howlett. His long legs were rested on top of the table, and his blue buttoned t-shirt lay open over torso, revealing his classic white tank. His eyes were completely stuck on you and once you made eye-contact, his left eyebrow raised. You gulped harshly before shying away from his cold stare. Lowering your body, you circled ‘C’ and moved on.

Logan teaching was very rare, and as a student you barely even saw him. It was only when he was talking to Marie that you actually got to see him up close. Him taking your class was a ‘favour’ he was doing for Charles, at least that’s what he said.

The time was nearly up, the clock high on the wall indicated you had two minutes to go. You quickly made some educated guesses before hearing Logan’s deep voice. “Times up, kids.” You circled the last answer as ‘B’ before putting your pen down.

Looking over at Bobby you made desperate eye-contact with him, before mouthing ‘That sucked ass!’ A small snicker was heard from Logan next to you as he grabbed your paper. You turned back to Bobby as he merely shrugged. Rolling your eyes, you slouched and fidgeted with your pen again.

”Do you think we’ll have him teach our class again?” You asked Marie. “I don’t know, I think Professor X wants to get him more involved in school when there isn't too many missions.” She replied. You hummed before you guys had reached your lunch table. Sliding in next to Pyro, you dropped your folder before grabbing the tray he had gotten you. “Thanks.” You said gratefully to the boy next to you. He nodded softly before flicking his lighter.

Sticking the straw into the juice box, you glanced at the couple across from you as they ogled at each other. “Do you guys ever stop?” You complained. “No, no, I think we need to be more grateful they don’t have the ability to stick their tongues down each others mouths.” John laughed. “Ew. Gross.” You cringed at the thought, and in an attempt to rid the idea, looked away. Your eyes landed on the opening that the cafeteria doors provided to the rest of the building. Luckily enough, Logan walked past. He was now only wearing the wife beater and blue jeans. You noticed the brown cowboy-like belt he was wearing, holding together the 70's look he was portraying.

"Hey, is it cool if we dip?" You wipped you head around at the sound of Rogues voice. "Yeah, sure." And both Bobby and her were out of the cafeteria in seconds. You still had a good bit of food left on your plate, so you slowly ate pieces of it.

Next to you, you felt Pyro's fingers play with the ends of your hair. “I liked the blonde hair you had last Monday. I think it suited the way you looked.” He commented. “Oh, yeah?” You questioned as you made your hair fade to a warm blonde. “See it matches your eyes wonderfully.” He whispered. "Thanks." You muttered.

You both took bites out of you lunches, you let your eyes drift off. He kept his eyes trained on you. It made you bones crawl under your skin, and sweat brewed in your palms. You stayed calm though, your face still the same colour as ever, no pinker.

When you finished you turned to look him deep in the eyes. You blinked at him a couple of times. He mimmicked you actions. “I think we should get back to class.” You said firmly as you touched the edge of your dark blue folder. “Yeah.” He agreed before turning back to his lighter. You quickly grabbed your blue folder before stepping over the bench. “See ya.” You muttered, scattering out of the hall.

Your face cringed looking back on the moment. Gritting your teeth together harshly, you jumped up the stairs to your dorm. You opened the door, grabbed a stick of gum and chucked it in your mouth before closing the door and running to your next class. Running was an exaggeration, you thought, a fast walk was more like it. You walked past Logan, again, who gave you a raised eyebrow before speaking up.

“Hey blondie! Slow down! You’ll hurt someone.” He called out. Already a good ten metres away from him you stopped your fast pace and slowed to a stroll. What did he care anyway? From what you heard he wasn’t exactly a stickler for the Professor’s rules. You rolled your eyes, again, before you turned into a different hallway.

When you turned into the classroom, the Professor was already starting his lecture. Embarrassed as everyone stared at you, your hair changed back to it's normal cherry red. Sitting down at your usual seat in the back, you began scribbling on the lined paper of your notes. Hearts, bows and a letter 'W' adorned the corner of your page. You almost drowned out the voice of the Professor, but instead decided on trying to better your grades and started paying attention.

It was later that same evening. It was a warm cool spring afternoon, and after having yet another vivid nightmare, you decided you’d had enough. You slipped on your pink uggs and grabbed the journal and pen that Storm had gifted you. She had a motherly protectiveness towards you. As your teacher, she had noticed that you were often distracted during day-to-day life in the Mansion. And after your reluctance to express your feelings verbally, she suggested to write it all out.

This leather bounded, lined-page notebook had seen you through many purposes. When you had made it downstairs, you made a quick cup of tea and sat at the bench. You glanced at the time on the oven that was diagonal to your position. 1:00. You huffed before opening to a new page in your journal.

I can’t sleep again. Another dream about being back at home with my sister. They’re getting more vivid as the days go on, but never clear enough where I know exactly what’s happening. It’s always a flicker of light, a picture of Raven and then my old bed back in my old bedroom. I wish I could know the full story of my child. It’s so conflicting, feeling like I’ll never truly understand what was going on then. God, I was so young. I can’t believe they ever wanted to

You ceased your writing as footsteps slowly got louder and louder. You looked up, biting your lip to see Logan. His hair still perfectly shaped, and his wife beater still tucked in his jeans, he stood before you. “What are you doing up kid?” He questioned. You shut your book and placed the pen on top of it. “Uhm, I don’t know.” You answered, avid in eye contact. He just hummed in response and glanced at your journal that you had both your hands over.

“You writing something?” He asked. What kind of stupid question is that? “Yeah…” Again, all he did was hum. He turned and opened the fridge, huffing when he realised there still wasn’t any liquor. Logan decided that a glass of water would have to do. When he grabbed the jug you noticed yourself ogling at his back muscles. You ignored yourself, just some silly thing I’m naturally attracted to, right?

He filled a glass with the water, and sat the jug on the bench. You watched him the entire time, but once self-aware you glanced back down at your hands. Your nails were short and stubby, so you fixed it and made them manicured instead. You tapped the fresh acrylics against the leather of your notebook. The noise made Logan look to you again.

“Neat trick.” He commented. You made eye contact with him. “Yeah I guess.” You grew your hair out longer and twisted it around your finger. “What’s up with you kid, you were pretty talkative this morning?” He said softly. You blushed and let your hair fall in front of your face. “I forgot you heard that.” You whispered in reference to the comment you’d made this morning about the test the Professor had made him supervise. “I don’t know, the usual stuff.”

“The usual stuff.” He repeated. “Don’t I know that well…” You puffed out a laugh before resting your chin in your hand. “Why are you up?” You said quietly. His eyes flittered to yours, “same thing I’m guessing.” He had a knowing look in his eyes. You know he had heightened senses, you didn’t know anything about mind reading. “Nightmares.” You said so softly he didn’t know if you had even spoken.

“ ‘s that why you’re writing?” He asked. You nodded and grabbed your cup to take a sip out of it. He mimicked you and drank out of his glass. “It’s a good habit. Don’t get rid of it.” He said before walking out of the kitchen.

Pieces of media my mom has seen and the popular MLM ships in them that she doesn't think are gay:

MCU - Stucky (note that she does get a kick out of Stony stuff and she believes wholeheartedly that those two hate fucked in a not-filmed scene of Avengers 2012 so this is not about her thinking "oh Captain America is so straight-laced because he's the ideal American man" or anything)

MCU - Poolverine (she's fully aware and accepting of the fact that both Logan and Wade are canonically queer characters but she thinks all the flirting Wade did with Logan in the newest movie didn't necessarily mean anything because "he talks like that to everyone". Side note though: while she believes Wade should be with Vanessa, she does think that Logan can and should shoot his shot with Wade after Vanessa inevitably dies since he and Wade are both immortal. It's just that she thinks Wade should get his happy ending with Vanessa first.)

MCU - Lokius ("Mama have you ever seen a man fix another man's tie like that" "No but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen! I wouldn't know though; it's been like 15 years since I worked a corporate job.")

Sonyverse/Marvel - Symbrock ("They literally have a symbiotic relationship. That doesn't make them gay." So I showed her the comics where Eddie calls Venom "love" and gives birth to Venom's babies and she said "Fine you win but please never show me alien man birth ever again."

Supernatural - Destiel ("They're like Steve and Bucky! They're brothers in arms! They've been through hell and back together!" Note that she only watched through season 5 but she does know about a lot of their later interactions because I told her about them)

House M.D. - Hilson ("Dot I watched that whole show and they were never anything more than good friends" "What about when House admitted to thinking about Wilson during sex? What about that whole episode where they pretended to be gay for each other to prove a point to a neighbor and Wilson proposed? What about that whole episode where Wilson had to furnish the apartment and House told him not to let a woman tell him what to do but Wilson let House tell him what to do? What about the whole ending?" "Why can't two men just be close enough friends to joke about that stuff with each other?"

Real life - Me and my best friend of the same gender orientation who I've kissed multiple times and have had a requited crush on for years that neither of us have ever persued for logistical reasons (I literally used me and this friend to try and prove my mom wrong about Stucky and Destiel. I asked her if she thought me and this friend were like brothers and she said yes with a straight face)

Sherlock - Johnlock (to be fair this is the BBC ship name, but she doesn't think any iteration of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are the slightest bit gay. "They're business partners and roommates.")

Our Flag Means Death - BlackHands (Should go ahead and say that I'm not really a BlackHands shipper myself; we both really enjoyed Stede and Ed's romance in the show. BUT it takes so much away from Izzy's character and his development if you don't acknowledge that he was jealous of Stede and in love with Ed, at least a little. My mom thought Izzy was just an extremely loyal first mate.)

Also, for the record, I'm not trying to call my mom out as homophobic. I'm queer and so are two of my siblings and she's very supportive of us. There are gay romcoms she enjoys like Our Flag Means Death and Red, White, and Royal Blue. The reason I'm making this list is because I think it's really funny how she doesn't understand the concept of queerbaiting (not that all of the above listed ships are queerbaiting). She thinks things are either explicitly straight or explicitly queer (whether it's gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc) and cannot comprehend the idea that some character relationships are deliberately pushing the boundaries of straight friendships into queer relationships to get more minority viewers and I think her explanations are funny.

[heartlyheavytohold]

I was going to make a skit, but I cannot act seriously so here:

I love the idea of D&W Logan being the same Logan from Origins. With that, I think there's a part of him that blames himself for the rest of the team being killed or tortured when he finds out what Victor and Stryker did.

If he dealt with Victor's rage before Stryker even came into the picture, Stryker wouldn't have a weapon. If Logan declined the general's offer, he wouldn't have left the team and Victor wouldn't have felt abandoned. He should've dealt with Victor. He wouldn't have killed John while he helped him. The team may not have been his family like the X-men, but they didn't deserve what came to them (except maybe Zero).

When Logan sees Wade prime, he probably vaguely recognized him. There was just something about the man in red that was familiar. His mannerisms, his jabbering. Because the TVA most likely erased his memory of what DP did in DP2, it takes awhile to pin this recognition.

They make me sick 😭 god I love them. Ignore the previous bits.
