#just pines fam shenanigans all around

[sopheliza25]

I wanna talk about Shannon Diaz for a bit.

I make a lot of memes about her and such but honestly I have many many feelings that I usually put in my tags but fuck it here we go.

First of all people really do be out here thinking she was ‘in the way’ of buddie don’t they, like don’t get me wrong I very much ship buddie but Shannon wasn’t ever going to be in the way of that! My dudes the woman had literally asked Eddie for a divorce! There was absolutely no damn need to kill her! none! And that is a hill I will die on.

The potential she had my dudes! THE POTENTIAL! She didn’t even need to be a regular character! She could have gone off to do the healing that she needed and wanted to do and Chris could have still seen his mum and Eddie and Shannon could have healed together! Could have learnt to communicate better together!

I get people don’t like that she left and should she have left her kiddo ? Maybe not. but her mother was literally dying, and nobody was listening to what SHE NEEDED! She needed to be heard and it wasn’t happening!

Shannon had been raising a child with special needs on her own while her husband was off at war on a tour that she hadn’t even be consulted about living near her husbands fam who were clearly not healthy to be around. Eddie was absolutely not a good a husband! And here’s the thing you can absolutely love Eddie and still think he wasn’t a great husband! Shannon was absolutely not the only one at fault here and it needs to be said!

And let’s talk about how her death brought an insane amount of trauma to both Chris and Eddie! Eddie was literally called to the scene! he was WORKING the scene! he literally watched his wife die. He then had to tell his son that! AND THEN when it was time for his wife’s funeral his parents were like “haha we still don’t think what you’re doing here is working come back to Texas” like no! Fuck no wonder Shannon left when she did we truly don’t get given the full scale of what Shannon went through while being at home with Chris and having Eddie parents around! Like what were they saying to her! They straight up told Eddie to his face not to bring Chris down with him!!! WHAT 👏🏻 WERE 👏🏻 THEY 👏🏻 SAYING 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 SHANNON!!! That got away from me slightly the point still stands ✨unnecessary trauma

Eddie literally admits that he was also at fault during their marriage! I just want ya’ll to think of the possibilities for a moment!

Shannon lives she and Eddie get a divorce! They become friends! They learn to communicate ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING!

Chris gets to have his mum around he sees her more! He gets to stay with her! They HEAL.

And now the big one I wanna talk about Buck and Shannon! I genuinely believe they would have been really good friends! @faewithfangs said maybe not at first! because Buck would be all up in his Eddie feelings” and she’s damn right. But after that!! Holy fuck they would have been really close!

Eddie would be having to deal with his best friend and his ex wife getting up to all kinds of shenanigans! They would absolutely plan Chris’s birthday party’s together! I feel like he would have ended up being super protective of her!

I’m choosing to believe that the reason the writers killed her was because she was entirely too powerful! Buddie would already be a thing because Shannon simply wouldn’t stand for this pining! She’d be the one who got them together. She’d watch the flirting and co-parenting Chris and then be like what in the fuck ???? Shannon Diaz would have played matchmaker! She’d straight up tell Buck “you’re in love with Eddie, he’s in love with you you can thank me by making me your best woman at the wedding” boom done.

Shannon Diaz was beautiful goddess who deserved to live she would have been a fucking excellent character and I would have loved to have seen grow!

In conclusion their marriage fuckup was down to both of them.

Had she lived they would have worked through their problems and become friends and co-parents.

Once again I’m out here asking why don’t people like her ????

Shannon diaz deserved better.

We were ROBBED.

We all need to learn to love Shannon because she is absolutely not the villian the show tried to make her out to be!

In this house 🏡 we love and support Shannon Diaz

Tickletober Day 13 - Wake up!

Fun fact: this is the very first fic I wrote when prepping for tickletober and that's why it's so plot-heavy lol. It's also one of my favorite fics I've written for tickletober, so I hope you guys enjoy it! Also, sorry for the bit of angst lol

Fandom: Gravity Falls

Ship(s): platonic Pines fam

Characters (lee/ler): Lee!Dipper, Lee!Mabel, Ler!Stan (also Ford is here briefly)

Word Count: 1691 words

Summary: Stan may have difficulty recalling anything now, but at least he knows the kids will be a constant.

[ao3 link]

-----------------------------------

Stan sat at the kitchen table, staring down at Mabel’s scrapbook and flipping through pages. He hadn’t been able to stop since she’d given it to him a few days ago, after they all realized how much it had started helping his memory.

The thing was, Stan couldn’t remember much beyond this past summer, and even that was fractured at best. Ford told him stories, of course. Their mom, their dad, their brother. He’d told Stan about the Stan ‘O War, about how they’d always been there for each other, about shenanigans the two of them had gotten into. Stories from Ford’s perspective could only do so much, though. And Stan wasn’t as clueless as Ford thought he was, he could clearly see that Ford was holding a lot back.

Something had happened between the two of them. Possibly multiple somethings. And not good somethings, seeing as Ford wouldn’t crack.

It was disorienting and uncomfortable, to have so much of his life blank. He forgot names, faces, places. He had lapses, even with memories they thought he’d recovered permanently. Sometimes, on bad nights, Stan forgot who he was entirely again, and where he was, and why this strange man that looked like him was trying to tell him to calm down.

He didn’t know why he gave it all up. Stan’s family said, repeatedly, that what he did saved them, all of them. Even people he didn’t know or couldn’t remember. Stan wished that it brought him peace, knowing that, but it never did. He did know, though, that if it came down to it, he would probably make the same choice again in a heartbeat.

No one was hurting those kids, or his brother, ever again. Not if he could help it.

“Stanley?” Someone called from nearby. Stan got the notion that it wasn’t the first time they’d tried to get his attention.

He glanced up, seeing Ford in the doorway to the kitchen. He chuckled, slipping into a nonchalant persona that felt comfortably familiar, even if he hardly remembered it.

“Sorry, lost in thought, I guess,” he said, knocking a fist against his forehead. “Didja need something?”

Ford’s smile was tight around his eyes, like he knew exactly what Stan had been lost in thought about. “No, not at all.”

An awkward silence spread through the room again and an anxious feeling rose up in Stan’s chest. Was he supposed to be remembering something? Was this another routine he forgot, and now he was messing up the steps?

“Why don’t you go wake the kids?” Ford offered, cutting through the silence. “I can make us all breakfast. It’s starting to get late, anyway.”

Stan snorted. “Eight thirty is hardly late, Poindexter,” he said, but he was already rising from the table even as he said it, closing the scrapbook as he went.

Sure, the kids would probably be a bit grumpy. He would too, being woken up so early during a day off, especially in summer, but it gave Stan a task. Something to do that would (hopefully) be hard to mess up, memory or not. 

So Stan dragged himself up the stairs to the attic and quietly pushed open the door to the kids’ room. He sighed when he saw the two of them curled up together in Dipper’s bed. He wasn’t surprised that they were having nightmares. He couldn’t fall asleep either, most nights, but instead of a face or voice haunting him, he had no name to put to his tormentor. Stan didn’t know if that made it easier or harder.

He heard them shuffling around at night when he couldn’t sleep, whispers carrying down through the old wooden house. Never enough for the words to travel, though, just the tone: angry, scared, tired, resigned. These kids acted far too old for their age.

Stan was rather tempted to just leave them and let them sleep. They clearly weren’t sleeping any better than him or Ford, the dark bruises under their eyes only accentuated by the shadows from the window. Really, Stan doubted anyone had been sleeping well, ever since what the town had dubbed “Weirdmaggedon.”

Maybe the kids would benefit from some time outside their realms of nightmares. He could already see Mabel’s face scrunching up in fear.

But how did he wake them? How did one wake an almost-teenager? Shake them? Poke them until they got annoyed enough to open their eyes? Talk really loud until it drew them out of dreamland? None of that seemed like it would lead to very happy children.

Stan sighed again and quietly entered the room, moving to stand next to the bed. Mabel made a distressed sound in her sleep and Stan couldn’t help but let out a sympathetic hum, tucking some of her tangled hair behind her ear. Mabel scrunched up her shoulder weird and a smile briefly tugged at her lips.

Now there was an idea.

Stan may not have had much memory left, but he knew a ticklish kid when he saw them. It felt a little rude to just tickle them right awake, though. Stan figured that would be pretty startling, while coming out of a nightmare. Instead he gently grabbed each of their shoulders and carefully shook them.

“Kids,” Stan said, voice low but not quite a whisper. “Kids, it’s time to wake up.”

Mabel’s face scrunched up, this time in annoyance and not fear. “Grunkle Stan, no,” she moaned, slurring her words in her half-asleep state and rolling over to bury her face in a pillow.

“Too early,” Dipper grumbled, and pulled the blanket over both of their heads.

Stan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Alright, maybe it is a bit early for grumpy pre-teens. But you know who it’s not too early for?”

Twins gasps sounded from under the blanket, and Stan got the distinct feeling that they’d gone through this song and dance before. Well, at least it was reassuring that his personality didn’t seem to have changed much, despite the gaps in memory.

“Grunkle Stan, wait!” Mabel cried, and it already sounded like she was laughing.

“No, no!” Dipper yelled, but his voice was giddy and excited.

“There’s no Grunkle Stan, here,” Stan growled, ripping the blanket off the two of them. “There’s only… the Tickle Monster!”

Dipper and Mabel shrieked as Stan lunged.

Even if Stan himself didn’t remember, it seemed like his fingers did. One hand clawed into Dipper’s stomach, making him squawk and cackle, while the other quickly buried itself up under Mabel’s arm, making her shriek and squeal. Stan couldn’t help but laugh along with the two of them, their laughter being painfully contagious.

“Hey,” Stan said, a goofy grin spreading across his lips. “Did you know, my ex-wife still misses me--”

Dipper and Mabel both groaned through their laughter.

“But her aim is getting better!”

Stan laughed, and he was certain that if the kids weren’t laughing too hard to talk, they would be making the usual assortment of annoyed comments. 

“Wow, kids, I know I’m funny, but I didn’t know my jokes were that good.”

Mabel’s legs had started kicking, trying to propel her away from the tickling fingers, while Dipper seemed to curl in on himself as he snorted and cackled. It was an interesting dichotomy, with them being twins, and reminded Stan a lot of him and Ford when they were younger--

Well well, looks like goofing off did some good for Stan, after all.

But Stan decided that he had plenty of time to focus on that, later. For now, he needed to finish these kids off and get them down to breakfast. Preferably soon, because the realization that Ford could not cook and would likely burn the Shack down had also just hit him.

Stan leaned down, deciding to do his big finish on Dipper first. He pushed Dipper’s legs back down and pulled up his sleep shirt just enough to see his belly. Then, he took a deep breath and blew the biggest raspberry he could in the center of Dipper’s stomach, making sure to shake his head and rub his stubble in on it, and almost breaking to laugh at the near-scream that left Dipper’s lips. He blew a handful of smaller raspberries in a few random places before pulling back and letting Dipper breathe.

Turning toward Mabel, she had already tilted her head back like she knew what to expect. And now that he thought about it, Stan did seem to be getting a weird sense of deja-vu, so maybe this had been routine, before. Stan darted forward to blow a big raspberry against the side of her neck, hoping he didn’t go deaf from her shrill laughter right next to his ear, and blew a handful of smaller raspberries as he moved to the other side of it. There, he blew one last big raspberry before pulling back.

Stan sat on the edge of the bed as the kids caught their breath. They recovered faster than he expected, and Stan suddenly found himself tackled backwards to the bed, the kids laughing as they piled on top of him. Stan laughed, too.

“Good morning, Grunkle Stan!” Mabel yelled, far too loudly for having been asleep just moments before.

“Good morning!” Dipper echoed at a much lower volume.

“Come on,” he said. “We’d better get down to the kitchen before Ford blows the whole place up. I’m sure you two could convince him to step away from the stove long enough for me to make something.”

Dipper and Mabel both gave him incredibly mischievous looks before rushing out of the room without another word. Stan huffed out a breath, watching them go. Then, he quickly rose to follow them. Either his brother was about to get absolutely wrecked by two 12-year-olds, or those kids were about to have quite the round two (six fingers did wonders for tickling skills, based on what was coming back to Stan) and he didn’t want to miss a moment of either scenario.

After all, he knew more than anyone, now, that the memories he made with his family were beyond precious.

Episode 27: The One where I Want to Punch Basically Every Sect Leader in the Face. Repeatedly. With a Chair.

And we start off back in the rain, AKA OUR ENDLESS TEARS

Wwx is like, do you remember our promise?

And lwj flashbacks TO THEIR LANTERN SCENE FROM THE ONE WHERE LWJ FINALLY SEES THE LIGHT

WE GET TO SEE LWJ’S PRECIOUS BABY FACE AS HE FALLS HEAD OVER HEELS IN THAT FLASHBACK

IT HURTS SO GOOD

Wwx: i wished to stand with justice and live without regrets. But tell me now, who’s strong, who’s weaker? Who’s right and who’s wrong?

Lwj: wei ying! 

Oh god, his voice! HE’S DISTRESSED

Wwx: is this the promise we pledged our lives to keep?

THEY BOTH LOOK SO HEARTBROKEN RN

Oh, look, lwj is doing the deathgrip of gay yearning on bichen again. We haven’t seen that in awhile AND I WISH WE WEREN’T SEEING IT NOW

Okay, but for real, how can lwj look so hurt here when the actor is literally doing nothing with his face??

I know i’ve mentioned that before, BUT C’MON, HOW?? HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK??

Wwx: my only regret is that i didn’t stop the jin clan who took living people as bait

I REGRET YOU NOT TAKING DOWN THE JIN CLAN TOO

WE COULD’VE AVOIDED SO MANY PROBLEMS IF WE’D JUST KILL OFF 90% OF THAT CLAN, OMG

And now wwx is all, i missed my chance to protect wen ning before so now i MUST leave to save him

BC WWX IS THE BEST MOST HONORABLE PERSON IN THE WORLD

Oh no

Oh noooo

He’s pulling out his demon flute. We’re gonna get THAT SCENE

Wwx: lan zhan, if i finally have to fight them, i’d prefer to fight with you

Wwx: if i am doomed to die, at least i can be killed by you. That would be worth it.

HE SAYS THAT BC HE TRUSTS VIRTUOUS LWJ TO STOP HIM IF HE REALLY IS IN THE WRONG

AND I AM SCREAMING IN PAIN RN

BC LOOK AT LWJ’S FACE

HE’S LISTENING TO HIS SOULMATE TELL HIM THAT HE WANTS HIS DEATH TO BE AT HIS HAND

Oh god, he’s doing the bichen deathgrip again

He tears his gaze away from wwx and turns to the side TO LET THEM ALL GO PAST

EYES LOWERED AS HIS HEART BREAKS INTO A MILLION PIECES

HE’S CRYING OH GOD HE’S CRYING

THERE ARE TEARS GOING DOWN HIS FACE, OH GOD WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

HE DIDN’T EVEN CRY WHEN HIS HOME GOT BURNED AND HIS FAMILY WAS MISSING AND/OR DYING

And now he drops his umbrella to the ground AS HE TRIES TO DROWN HIMSELF IN THE RAIN

*HYSTERICAL SOBBING*

THEY PACKED ALL THAT HEARTBREAK INTO THE FIRST 6MIN OF THE EPISODE, WTF, SOMEBODY STAB ME

And after all that emotional torture we get Plot Stuff happening

Blah blah wwx at the burial mounds blah blah sect leader banquet blah blah

Ugh, gross, they’re letting the idiot sect leaders talk again

They’re all blah blah wwx is evil blah blah he murders ppl blah blah we hate him blah blah

SHUT UP YOU BUNCH OF WALKING HUMAN-RIGHTS-VIOLATIONS

This whole part here is so difficult to watch. They’re literally just trash-talking my PRECIOUS SUNSHINE BOY

Jc, lwj, and lxc look visibly uncomfortable with what’s going down and they kind of sort of tried to defend wwx but they didn’t present a united front or hold their ground

Instead they let yao and ouyang run their stupid mouths

Anyway

Here’s little itty bitty bits of almost wangxiantics in the middle of this mess

Jgs: yeah, jc, i know wwx is your trusted bro and all but idk if wwx actually respects your authority. Do something about it, maybe

Lwj: *subtly glares at jgs*

And then everyone joins in on dragging wwx’s name through the mud bc apparently that’s the hot new thing in the cultivator world

If you look closely while this is happening, you can see that lwj legit GRINDS HIS TEETH with how much he’s holding back. MY POOR BB HAVING TO SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO EVERYONE DISPARAGE HIS SOULMATE

Jgs: wwx totally doesn’t respect you, jc, my bro. Everyone here heard him say how much he thinks you suck or whatever

Lwj: No I didn’t.

OOOOH, LWJ IS ANGRY AS HELL

HE’S OUTRIGHT GLARING AT JGS 

Jgs: what??

Lwj: i never heard wei ying say that, nor did i see him disrespect clan leader jiang

HANGUANG-JUN I LOVE YOU, LOOK AT YOU DEFENDING THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, I’M SO PROUD OF YOU 

And ugh, disgusting, jgy steps in to be all “oh, well, wwx said so many awful things that day, who can possibly remember the specifics?”

Lwj visibly swallows here, as if he’s choking back a response, and his lips are all pursed. 

HE’S FURIOUS. HE’S ROILING WITH IMPOTENT ANGER, WHICH IS THE WORST KIND OF ANGER, TBH

That’s all the wangxiantics we get from that terrible awful sect leader banquet

THOSE SECT LEADERS NEED TO GET PUNCHED IN THE FACE

LIKE, A LOT

WITH A CHAIR

OR A TABLE

YOU KNOW WHAT, LET ME JUST TAKE BICHEN AND BEAT THEM ALL WITH IT

OR BETTER, YET, I’LL USE BAXIA. I WON’T EVEN CUT THEM UP. I’LL JUST BEAT THEM WITH THE BROAD PART

*ANGRY YELLING*

Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute! 

This isn’t a wangxiantic

But it is an EPIC MOMENT that should be commemorated.

Because here we get…

*drum roll*

MIANMIAN BEING A BOSS

Jz: blah blah wwx kills our people indiscriminately blah blah

Mm: not indiscriminately

Mm: indiscriminate is not accurate

And everyone around her is like, confused and offended because they’re assholes

Mm: in this specific case, if the overseers did abuse the Wen prisoners and kill wen ning, then what wwx did was not “killing indiscriminately”

Ouyang: nah, the overseers said they never abused/killed anyone

Mm: OF COURSE THEY’D FUCKING SAY THAT. THEY DON’T WANT TO FACE PUNISHMENT, YOU IDIOT

(okay, she didn’t call him an idiot outright or swear, but it was totally there in her tone of voice and also ouyang is an idiot so there)

Mm: you all think you’re so smart and voice your opinions so loudly

Mm: I SECEDE FROM THIS BULLSHIT. FUCK THE JIN CLAN AND YOUR STUPID CLAN POLITICS

And she throws down her jin robes and mARCHES RIGHT OUT OF THAT SHITHOLE WITH HER HEAD HELD HIGH

MIANMIAN PLEASE MARRY ME

Lwj watches her do that and two seconds later follows her out bC HE RECOGNIZES BADASSERY WHEN HE SEES IT (and also she defended the love of his life)

And that badass moment ends

But the banquet of idiots keeps going

The jin clan needs to learn how to shut the fuck up

God, they just go on and on and on

Why are they torturing me like this

OH WAIT, WE’RE OUTSIDE THE BANQUET HALL NOW

We see lwj and mm standing together on a terrace, talking to each other

BUT WE DON’T GET TO HEAR WHAT THEY SAY TO EACH OTHER AND THAT HAUNTS ME TO THIS DAY

WHAT DID THEY SAY

TELL MEEEEEEE

Oh, side note to let you all know this direct quote from nmj - “that girl really has a backbone.”

Okay nmj, i’m slightly less angry at you now. I won’t try to beat you with bichen or a table or a chair.

(but now i kinda wish mm would join the nie clan. I think she’d do well there and also i want to see her carry a gigantic saber)

We get some chitchat with the Official Bros™ but idc let’s move on 

(tho i do appreciate the look nmj gives jgy, like, HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME lolol)

Ooooh, now we’re getting lan fam time

ANGRY lan fam time, uh oh.

Lqr: lwj, have you regretted it? I didn’t punish you when you broke into the Forbidden Chamber bc i thought you’d self-reflect 

Lqr: you shouldn’t have gone to qiongqi way and let wwx go. Should you make one mistake after another?

And lwj is kneeling in front of him this whole time with a blank face

Lqr: what’s the use of getting you to memorize the Great Big Book of Lan Fam Rules?? Tell me, what is rule 52?

Lwj: No association with evil

He answers immediately and without any inflection to his voice.

Lqr: did you forget what happened to your father???

AND WE FINALLY GET A REACTION HERE

Lwj practically gasps and lifts his gaze to meet his uncle head-on

Lwj: my mother, she…!

Lqr: hold your tongue!

And just like that, lwj shuts down again; expression flat and gaze lowered

GOD, THIS CLAN HAS HURT HIM SO MUCH THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE

I MEAN, THEY MUST’VE, FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO JUST DISCONNECT LIKE THAT

THAT IS NOT THE BEHAVIOR OF A NORMAL WELL-ADJUSTED PERSON

Basically the entire lan clan needs to go to therapy, like, STAT

Oh, i just noticed, lwj has his fists clenched at his sides. He’s clenching them hard, too. I think they’re trembling a bit, actually…

Lqr: i’ve been taking care of you since you were a kid; you’re like my son.i was strict bc i wanted you to stick to the right path and avoid your father’s tragedy

Lqr: that’s what i wanted to say to you. I hope you choose the right path. You may leave.

Lwj still bows respectfully before taking his leave

And i’m sure y’all are wondering, hey trensu, why did you make us endure that angry lan fam time that hurt us deep in our soul?? That wasn’t wangxiantic at all!

That’s where you're wrong, my friends!

It’s actually SUPER wangxiantic bc lqr kept drawing parallels to lwj’s dad the practically whole time

You know, the dad that married their mother who murdered some guy and had the whole world turn against her. 

(Sound familiar?)

The same mother that dad loved with his entire being and did what he could to keep her safe from the ramifications of her actions? By marrying her? And hiding her in the cloud recesses?

YEAH, HE’S EQUATING WANGXIAN WITH LWJ’S PARENTS’ TRAGIC ROMANCE

Bc, you know, that’s a totally hetero comparison to make lol

Oh, now we get to see our favorite Disaster Het be less of a disaster

We’re not going into detail here bc we’re not here for hetero shenanigans, yuck (actually, i’m apparently weak to Pining Idiots of all kinds bc this whole jzx/jyl scene is giving me tender feelings)

BUT

I do want to add that OMG FOR REAL LWJ AND JZX HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR LOVE LIVES, IT’S FANTASTIC

I NEED 10 MILLION FICS OF THEM COMMISERATING OVER THEIR SHARED DISASTER-NESS

Also, how the HELL did jzx end up being the one who was able to express his intentions clearly? He was all “please don’t go to the burial mounds, stay here with me so i can protect you from all who would want to hurt you”

DAMN IT LWJ, IF YOU’D JUST SAY THAT TO WWX, HE’S UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON. 

YOU CAN’T JUST BE ALL “COME TO GUSU” WITH NO EXPLANATION

Jzx accomplished this before you did, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

Huh, okay, i guess i did go into a bit of detail with that hetero nonsense. Oh well.

Now we’re at the burial mounds again with wwx

AND WE SEE A-YUAN PROPERLY FOR THE FIRST TIMEEEEE!!

ANY A-YUAN MOMENT IS BY DEFAULT A WANGXIANTIC, GUYS, TRUST ME.

AAHHHH, WE SEE A-YUAN DO THAT LEG-GRABBY THING HE DOES!!!

HE’S SO CUTE. TOO ADORABLE.

I LOVE YOU A-YUAN

Lol, wwx is all if you don’t let go i’ll plant you like a turnip

And a-yuan plops himself down in the dirt like YOUR THREATS DON’T WORK ON ME, OLD MAN, I LIKE BEING IN THE DIRT

Then he asks wwx for 3 elder brothers and 2 elder sisters, awwww. He thinks wwx can grow them in the garden (like cabbage patch kids!!!)

Plot stuff happens

Blah blah wwx and wq share moment blah blah jc shows up blah blah

Lol

Jc sees that glowing talisman door thing and is like THAT SIGN WON’T STOP ME BC I CAN’T READ

And then whips it down with zidian

Now we get some feelings-laden Yunmeng bros time

A-yuan shows up and leg-grabs jc and it’s ADORABLE

But jc yells at him bc he’s a JERK

Wwx scolds jc and then is a Dad to a-yuan: don’t put your hand in your mouth, you were just touching dirt!

Awww, we get to see jc fight back a smile at this! HE WANTS TO BE AN UNCLE, I JUST KNOW IT.

Plot plot plot stuff happens

More plot stuff happens

And the episode ends with us still in the burial mounds with the yunmeng bros

And you know what, i’m just gonna focus on our BAMF mianmian moment bc quite frankly the rest of the episode either had me in tears of anguish or spitting mad. There was no inbetween. 

I’m gonna end up having blood pressure problems at this rate.

I’m too poor young to have blood pressure problems.

The Jin clan better pay for any medical bills I get because of them, I'm just saying

Return to Masterpost

[countryshitposts]

and now time for: Hazbin Hotel AU which no one wants but my brain needs it (i’ll regret this won’t i)

@redffeather is this what you want

- is set in the very far future, really far, probs in the 2800′s or something like that; the world’s already in an apocalyptic like state

- PRC (China) died around the time another economic drop began, perhaps at the height of its economic downfall. he turned to murder and cannibalism and was one of the last of Qing’s sons to die, bc he murdered ROC (Taiwan) probably... in the 2100′s.

- China’s appearance distorts a lot and is unstable- one time he resembles the Shan Xi clique then another he resembles his full-blood brother Taiwan. basically his appearance resembles the brothers he’d murdered when he was alive. his voice probably also changes with the way he looks or acts

- he and his brothers live in a large building that hosts all Chinese families who ended up in hell. he sometimes rooms with Boxer, who he hates a lot and feels annoyed, or with his full-blood brothers Empire of China and Taiwan. shenanigans ensue.

- Huaxia is in heaven and both PRC and ROC would sometimes look up to Heaven knowing that she’s there. they know she deserved being in paradise, but they really miss her

- Ming’s in hell, Joseon’s in heaven (maybe, i’ll have to check tho) and he wants in on the HH to redeem himself and ascend to meet the one who he had loved and lost

- Canada is still a pornstar, unsurprisingly. he became one of the most famous demons in hell and enchanted a lot of elder demons who never had a chance of knowing or meeting him

- Japan’s there because their past incarnations are shitty to begin with. also the only thing that changed in their physical appearance is that they have sharp teeth and a split shadow now. they died after getting an overdose; but of what?

- UK also dies during the apocalyptic era shakes the future world, they’re just like Alastor now, with demonic and Lovecraftian powers that are not witnesses to the world. they topple almost all of the elder demons that came before them, missing their strength back when they were the British Empire. also they have a really good rock career in hell, just like they had in the real life

- GE’s a news broadcaster now, lives quietly and away from everyone w/ the German family; gets berated by his dad for his mistake in the Great War

- USA finally gets to do what he wants in hell; fuck, marry and kill and in that nonsensical order

- let’s be honest; almost all countries are in hell

- France and Germany finds each other in Hell and just hug and cry, telling each other how much they missed each other

- Weimar is there, traumatized and broken, being taken care of by his dad and the other German Fam. he completely broke down when he finally sees East and West, thinking he was dreaming.

- Soviet Union wants to be with PRC again, but doesn’t really know how to approach him

- also China starts to pine after Japan in hell, for some reason

i’ll regret this

I just had the BEST MCU Crossover Fanfic Idea ever :D

Ok so I was looking around on pinterest and was looking at a bunch of MCU fanart of IronStrange, then supreme family and then it snowballed from there. So I end up coming across a bunch of crossover fanart of all kinds which included another OTP of mine, Spidypool (and not with MCU spidy ok ew). 

I saw BBC Sherlock and Dr.Strange, Spiderverse plus Deadpool, Tony and Bruce [IronDad & BatDad], Ant-man and Night at the Museum, Tony and RDJ Sherlock, Wonder Woman and Thor, etc. 

Lots of crossovers as you can see.

So considering that in canon alternate dimensions/timelines are an actual thing I had the idea what if all these characters actually meet. Like it would be a slice of life thing focused on fluff, humor and drama. Maybe a lil angst considering I'm having it be after endgame with Tony having lived but him never having gotten together with Pepper after Civil War (so no morgan) and instead gets together with Stephen after Endgame (OTP IronStrange <3) with supreme fam [peter, harley & lil sis] and has it to where some people keep accidentally traveling dimensions or coming to theirs. 

Could possibly consequence from the time-traveling Idk or just people screwing around with shit they shouldn't or accidents all accidents lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If anyone takes this up they are definitely gonna have to do a ton of research or have been in all these fandoms cause wow so many characters. I have decided to write these in parts based on fandom. Although the story doesn’t have to be written in arcs since it’d probably be better as connected one shots instead.

1) Spider-verse Portion (Humor & Romance)

Starts off with Miles accidentally getting taken to the MCU dimension while trying to travel to Peter B's using a device made by Peni and ends up meeting MCU Peter. Device either is busted or malfunctions so Peter takes it and Miles to Tony for help to see if he can fix [he tries but can't which he's mad about]. 

So Tony ends up having to call in Stephen to help which gets them bickering while Stephen looks for ways to send Miles back to his home with Tony still trying to fix the gadget. Miles ends up asking Peter if they're together which Peter says no but that they have so much UST that they might as well be together. Miles sympathizes and tells him about his Spidy Mentor also doing the same with his partner Deadpool, who had when first meeting Miles, promptly said he is his and Peter's new adopted son/nephew. 

Then Peter and Miles get into a few shenanigans trying to get Tony and Stephen together after Peter asked for his help (they include the cloak too). After which Miles gets sent back, Peter goes home to tell Ned about his latest adventure and Tony & Stephen schedule a date after finding out about each others pining curtesy of 2 spider kids and cloak.

2) Hero Dads (With Fluff & Angst)

Tony after awhile gets the device that Miles left behind to work. Although not enough to send a person through yet, but he can send a couple machines he made that he can connect to even across dimensions (may have had a little help from Stephen). 

Ends up using them to connect to the other dimensions internet to see how different they are and he first tests it in the DCverse and sees all these other heroes just like the avengers. Finds out about Batman being a billionaire (and dad) like him after using his awesome hacking skills to find out who Batman is and his fellow heroes. Ends up later messaging the man after Tony ends up being confronted by the realization he was the adopted dad of a bunch of kids (Peter, Harley + sis, Riri, Vision, FRIDAY, bots) queue inner crisis. 

Bruce is at first suspicious but then later amused after talking and messaging with Tony as they both bond over their kids. Both sharing stories, pictures, and videos about their kids then later their lives and how similar they are. They become inter dimensional pen pals and complain to each other about their fellow heroes too. 

Could be spaced out into one-shot chapters about certain topics. Like kids, childhood, their hero coworkers, maybe love lives hmmm. 

[Ok I just finished reading some Tony & Bruce fanfic and yes I now have another fav Brotp that involves Tony. It can be added with the Science Bros(Tony & Bruce.B), Iron Bros(Tony & Rhodey), and Snarky Bros(Tony & Loki)]

3)BBC Sherlock (Romance Drama & Humor)

While working on the device with Stephen besides him Tony gets visited by Everett Ross and T'Challa for 'reasons'. But something happens that causes it to malfunction for a bit and transport all those in the room to another dimension. 

They end up coming across BBC Sherlock and Watson who Strange asks if they can stay with for a bit since the group have no place to stay until Strange can get a message to Wong to help them back. Queue lots of shenanigans with alternate selves with boyfriend(s?) nearby [not sure about having everpanther or no]. 

Tony definitely flirts a little with Sherlock causing Strange to be mildly jealous and even more so when Sherlock finds some interest in Tony for how smart he is. Maybe during the stay they help solve a crime and apprehend the suspects. With Everett showing his awesome agent skills, Tony his god level hacking, T'Challa his hand to hand no suit, and Stephen his magic. 

Sherlock and Watson are totally shocked and fascinated about them. Before they return to they dimension Tony leaves a device like the one he sent to DC so that they can communicate if they ever want to.

ADD-ON: Maybe have Sherlock and Watson visit the MCUverse at some point and have them get into an adventure with Strange and Ross. Lots of magic and gun fights abound poor Sherlock and Watson too much chaos in this universe. lol

Inspiration X  X  

4)RDJ Sherlock

Tony finally gets the device to work complete and begs Stephen to go with him to test it out just in case it can't do a return trip. Stephen reluctantly agrees and Tony ask him to look for a dimension that has a look alike of him since last time they meet one of Stephen's. 

So Stephen decides to be cheeky and takes him to the one where now Tony's look alike is Sherlock. Tony finds this hilarious and gets along with him while Stephen regrets his decision cause he wanted to get payback for the flirting last time but that didn't work. Queue Tony and Sherlock getting into shenanigans while Stephen and Watson try to rein them in (and falling). They then use the device to return home after maybe solving a crime or two with Sherlock.

5) Night at the Museum (Humor)

After hearing about the alternate dimensional shenanigans Tony, Peter and others have been going on. Scott is quite curious and asks Peter to ask about his own counterpart and so Peter offers to see about look into it with the help of Miles (they have been keeping in touch through Tony's devices). 

After the talk they go looking to for a dimension but end up accidentally activating the transportation function which takes Scott, Cassie and Peter to the Night at the Museum dimension. There they end up meeting Larry and his son who had come to visit the museum and get talking. 

Larry decides to show Scott and others what happens after dark in the museum with the help of Tilly and Mr. McPhee. Considering that Peter was able to send a message to Tony about what happen and when they can come back they were okay to stay a night before leaving.  

Inspiration X

6)Thor's Foodie Friend (slice of life & fluff)

At some point Thor ends up interrupting Tony while he was talking with Bruce and gets introduced to his fellow billionaire/hero. Bruce then ends up mentioning Diana aka Wonder Woman after remembering what Tony said about the God and how similar the two are. Thor is intrigued and wishes to meet her and so Tony let's him borrow a second device he made after Bruce gives Wonder Woman another device that Tony made to pair with Thor's. They end up being buddies like Tony and Bruce and talk about all the weird cultural stuff they have learned and still are after living on earth. 

Don't have much ideas for this one since I don't know much of Thor or Diana ^_^;

7) MCU Actors (Humor, Drama, Angst, Fluff & Romance just every thing   >.<)

This is Tony just screwing around with the device until he ends up stumbling across a dimension where there are no heroes at all and everyone he knows are actors instead (essentially its like Supernatural but with MCU instead). He starts looking through their internet cause his interest is peak which is where he finds out that in that dimension his and everyone's lives are movies and comics. 

Which he finds both disturbing and yet awesome at the same time although he finds its not completely the same considering the ending and who he ended up with. (Later learns its based on the main dimension that their world branched off of. He's so glad they aren't the main one.) 

This could then have one-shots about multiple characters seeing all the fandom stuff they have based off them in this other world. You know conventions, cosplay, AMVs, fanfiction etc. Possible have some kind of viewing night to see stuff with everyone together. Maybe at some point they get the smart (dumb) idea to travel to that world to talk to their actor counterparts. [Those being Tony, Loki, Stephen, Steve, Bucky, Thor, Peter and who ever is a fun idea to write] Maybe even attend an actual convention in that dimension by replacing their actor selves for fun and also bring those conventions back as ways for good PR who knows. 

[God so many interesting ideas I have that I’ll never write ugh]

And that’s all I got for this mass crossover fic that kicked me over the head and wouldn’t leave me until I wrote it out phew~ 

Anyone interested or wanting to write this can just message a link or add it onto this post I want to read them. :D

[amayapowell]

Powell Family Camping Trip

Chris drives down a dark narrow dirt road with the thick canopy of the forest surrounding either side of you and the full moon illuminating the lake in the distance as night starts to settle in around you.

“I’m so excited. I’ve never been camping.”

Chris laughs at her giddiness and takes her hand.

“I don’t think a cabin technically counts as camping.”

“Hey, there’re trees, a lake, marshmallows, a fire…This counts!”

He smiles, giving the back of her hand a kiss as he continues down the dark, gravely road.

“Well, I plan on giving you the most semi-authentic camping experience I can. I just hope we can sneak in a little Powell time.” He gives her a suggestive look while wagging his eyebrows.

“Love…this entire weekend is going to be full of Powell time”. She says with air quotes.

“Yes, but I mean these Powells.” He motions between them. “Not those Powells.”

She smiles back at him, a playful glint in her eyes. “I love when you call me a Powell.”

“And just think…in six months it’ll be official.” She leans over to the driver side to plant a kiss on his lips, temporarily blocking his view from the road as it opens up to a sleepy little cabin.

“Oh my gosh. An actual log cabin. I love it! How did your mom find this place?”

“Well don’t stop the kisses.” He says with a smile. “I don’t know. It belongs to someone she knows.” He gives her one last kiss on the nose before coming to stop on the gravel road. “You go on inside, I’ll get the bags.”

The cabin was nestled in lush verdant, surrounded by the smell of fresh pine. The front porch illuminates the old-timey rocking chairs and checkers table, setting the scene of a simpler time. She opens the front door and her senses are overwhelmed with cinnamon and Sinatra when she hears a familiar voice echoing from the kitchen.

“You guys made it! Amaya, you look so beautiful. Is that a pregnant glow I see?” Barb gives her a hopeful grin from the kitchen; wiping her floured hands down the front of her ‘Is that a tent, or are you just happy to see me’ apron.

Amaya laughs pulling her into a tight hug. “Thank you, Barb, you look beautiful too. And no, not the last time I checked.”

“Well, it’s a long weekend.”

Amaya’s eyes widen and her jaw drops at the inappropriate insinuation coming from her future mother in law.

“What’s this glow I’m seeing on you though?”

Just then a tall, distinguished, handsome grey-haired man comes out from a back room behind them, holding a bottle of rum.

“Well, now I get it.” She gives her side a nudge, noticing that there’s now a clear blush to her face.

“Amaya this is-“

“Mom why is there only one car outside? Where’s AJ and Kyle?”  Chris interrupts their conversation, pushing the large wooden door open with his shoulder; freeing his hands to carry in their bags.

“Too cool to go camping with their mom. Kyle and his friends went skiing in Aspen.”

“That’s right and AJ’s with her boyfriend’s family in-…” Amaya tries to finish her thought.

“Boyfriend? Why am I always the last to know everything in this fam-…Who’s this?”

“Chris, Amaya, this is Rhett Adler.” Chris hugs his mom, skeptically eyeing the stranger being introduced to him.

“Addy, this is my first born and his wife Amaya.”

“Wow. It’s so nice to finally meet you both. Barbs told me so much about you.”

“Can’t say I can say the same.”

Amaya sharply elbows his side before reaching out to the handsome stranger. “Soon to be wife. It’s very nice to meet you, Mr. Adler.”

“Please, call me Rhett. He bends down to kiss the back of her hand.

“Rhett…as in Butler?”

“My parents have a flair for the dramatic. And the pleasure is all mine. You are just as beautiful as Barb has described.”

“And just as charming as the original it seems…thank you, Rhett.”

Rhett turns his attention towards Chris and extends his hand enthusiastically.

“Chris man, I’m a huge fan! That was a hell of a game against The Astros at the end of the season. I’m originally from Texas so your mom and I were butting heads a little during that game.”

“Hum.” Chris sharply huffs, folding his arms; leaning up against the kitchen island, giving a backward nod in response.

Rhett lowers his extended hand when he realizes that it wasn’t going to be reciprocated and instead claps him on the back before walking back to Barb, resting his arm around her shoulder and kissing her temple.

“So! Dinner should be done in about 30. In the meantime, can I get you guys a drink? Or maybe you’d like to freshen up a bit? Your rooms just at the top of the stairs to the right, all ready for you.”

Amaya tries to ease the tension since Chris’ ridged expression didn’t look like it was going to ease up anytime soon.

“That sounds perfect! I think we’ll unpack and then I will absolutely take that drink.”

Chris grabs their bags and trudges up the old creaking staircase, looking back in their direction as Amaya follows; nudging him in the back to keep his forward motion. Meanwhile, Rhett turns his attention back to his leading lady.

“Well, that went well.”

She laughs into his hug.

“He’ll be fine. We all knew he’d be the stubborn one. Give him a little time. If not, he won’t get any cobbler.”

“Wow, you are one tough cookie, Barbra Powell. Remind me never to get on your bad side.”

“And don’t you forget it. Now hand me the rum for the apples.” She says while playfully smacking his rear.

“Yes, ma’am.”

Amaya putts their things away, eyeing Chris over her shoulder; while he silently stares out the window.

“What’s the matter with you? You’re acting like a baby.”

“I don’t like this guy.”

She laughs at how cute and protective he is. “You just met him. And you barely did that.”

“I can tell. And what the hell kind of name is Rhett anyway?”

“Christopher Powell...you’re jealous.”

“Jealous?!”

“100 percent. You’ve been the man of the house for all these years and now you’re worried someone’s coming in and taking your place.”

He turns angerly back at her; resting his hands on his hips.

“That is not it at all. And you know it. But my mom is way too vulnerable. Especially after all my dad’s shenanigans. She’s not ready for a relationship or what the hell ever this is.”

She walks over to him, slipping her arms around his waist through his arms, leaning her body back slightly to look up at him. “Your moms a grown woman. She can take care of herself. She knows when and what she’s ready for. Besides, she deserves a little a lovin’ after all these years.”

“Ugh…please don’t.”

“You’re such a mama’s boy.” She says through her laughter, while he looks down at her, not at all amused by her ribs. “And I love it.” She raises to her toes to place a little peck on his lips.

“Your mom doesn’t love you any less, even though there’s a new man in her life. Besides. You’re the man of a new house, where no one will ever take your place.”

His arms are now around her, as he sighs resting his forehead against hers, groaning through his pouted pressed lips.

“Come on. You need to go back out there and be nice.” He lets his heads fall backward, whining at the mere thought.

After dinner, the four of them bundle up, gather their s'more fixin’s and sit around the fire pit, listening to Rhett strum lazily on his acoustic guitar.

“Rhett, Barb thank you so much for dinner and dessert. It was perfect. Barb I finally understand what Chris’ been raving about with that cobbler all these years. As your soon to be daughter, I hope I can get the recipe.”

“You don’t have to hope dear.” She looks down into her red wine glass, swirling it around as if she was carefully considering her next words. “You know what you have to to give me for it.”

“That’s extortion.”

“Such is life.” Bard shrugs carelessly.

“Wow. Well, now we know that I won't’ be the only one sass will be inherited from if we ever have a daughter.” Amaya laughs and shakes her head, turning her attention to their host. “Rhett, I am absolutely in love with your cabin.”

“Thank you. My grandfather built it as a wedding present for my grandmother and our family’s been vacationing here ever since.”

“That is the cutest, most romantic thing I have ever heard.”

“Oh, he’s pretty sugary.”

Amaya notices Rhett wink in Barbs direction and smiles at their cute exchange.

“I hope you’re mentally taking down some of these romantic notes over there Mr. Powell.” 

“Speaking of romance. How’s the wedding planning coming you two?”

Amaya looks over at Chris reaching for his hand, the thought at least breaks through his rigid expression, allowing him to crack a smile as he leans down kissing her hand in his.

“It’s going great. I think we’re pretty much done. Food and decorations are all chosen. We’ll be in New York next week; before we head home to meet with a local bakery to try some cakes. Aaannd I will have my final fitting in the next few months.” 

Still absorbed in his own thoughts of the situation playing out before him, Chris was oblivious to the less than subtle conspicuous look Amaya and Barb shared before him, but Rhett wasn’t going to let fly.

“What was that look for?”

“What look hun?”

“Uh oh Chris. I think you and I are going to have to ban together and batten down the hatches. These two together look like trouble to me, am I right?”

Chris remained stolid. His stare, cold as the air around them, slowly dragged up the neck of his beer bottle, fixated on this stranger trying to make a joke about the two most important woman in his life. And he wasn’t laughing.  Amaya couldn’t help but feel the tension continue to tighten, right along with the grip of Chris’ hand. 

“Anyway Rhett, what do you do for a living?”

“Nothing fancy like you two, that’s for sure. During the school year, I’m the high school shop teacher and outside of that, I help run the family carpentry business.”

“Well, I think I’m going to need to know how to get on the family discount plan. This place gives me so many ideas for our back yard. Maybe even our own vacation spot, huh babe?”

“I think if you give this woman some grandbabies soon, you’ll be on the lifetime preferred list. It’s all she can talk about. After the wedding that is.”

“Don’t I know it.”

The three of you share a laugh, but Chris keeps a stone face. Still determined, Rhett continues to try and break through. 

“Yeah Chris, the sayin’ is true. ‘Happy wife. Happy life.’ You’ll find out soon enough.” Rhett says followed by a deep, raspy Southern laugh.

“Not possible. This man could not make me happier if he tried.”

“Well on that note, I’m going to go grab some champagne to celebrate all this love in the air. Can I get anyone anything while I’m up? Chris, another beer?” Amaya squeezes his hand as a warning, but he only musters out a single word response.

“Nope.”

“He’d love one...thank you, Rhett.”

“Right. Back in a jiff!”

As soon as the screen door slams shut behind him, in one quick motion, Amaya swats his shoulder against the least insulated spot of his worn plaid vest, giving him a final warning.

“Ow!”

“Be. Nice.” She chided through gritted teeth and narrowed eyes.

“You’re being awfully rude son.”

“Sorry.” He answers in a snide tone, taking the last swig of his beer.

“Chris. This man has invited you into his home. And more importantly, he’s important...to me. So you better think long and hard about how you’re going to change your demeanor before he gets back.”

WIth his frustration finally reaching its peak, Chris stands ready to defend his actions.

“Mom, I will not sit around and pretend to be happy while this-” Before he could continue his retort, he’s cut off by the sound of  Rhett’s footsteps returning down the graveled pathway with a heavy sigh.

“Honey, I’m sorry I think I forgot the champagne at home.”

“Who’s home?”

Barb and Rhett eye each other before responding.

“Well, I guess now’s as good a time as any to tell you.”

“Tell me what?”

“That Rhett and I have moved in together.”

“That’s so great you guys, congratulations!”

“Moved in? Mom, what do you even know about this guy? I hardly think you’re ready to date someone, let alone move in with them.”

She can only stare incredulously back at his abrasion. Amaya too stares blankly back at Chris but chooses not to address him.

“Rhett…why don’t you and I grab some more firewood? I think my fiancé some apologizing to do.”

Chris’ eyes widen, silently pleading to her. ‘Don’t go.’ While hers respond in just as much of a loud silence. ‘Don’t look at me. You made your bed.’

Rhett offers his arm to Amaya and they walk away to a nearby shed.

“Christopher Joseph Powell. I understand that this is a bit of a shock for you. But don’t you forget that I’m the mother in this situation, no matter how old you are. And you don’t presume to tell me what you think I can and cannot do, or who you think I should or shouldn’t do it with.”

“But mom!”

“No, but mom! I’m a grown woman and this man makes me happy. Something I didn’t think would happen again after your father. And with your brother and sister gone, that house got really lonely; really fast. I’m finally ready to live my life again. And like it or not, I don’t need your permission to do so.”

Still shocked by his mother’s admission, Chris slowly walks over to his mother.

“I’m sorry. Really. I just didn’t expect to ever see you with anyone else.”

“I know.”

“All I want is for you is to be happy though.”

“I know that too. I also know that it’s going to take some getting used to. But...you have no say in the matter. So, you might as well get used to it and mind your manners...otherwise, you’ll be grounded for the rest of the weekend.”

Chris chuckles.

“Don’t think for a minute that I won’t do it either.” She walks up to him, placing her hands on either side of this stubbled face. “Talk to him. Get to know him. He’s a good guy.”

“And what do Kyle and AJ have to say about all this?”

“They love him. Kyle’s the one who introduced us actually.”

“What?! Really, why am I literally that last to know everything.”

“Probably because we all know that you’ll act like this.”

She swats him on the behind before pulling him into a hug.

“I love you Chrissy Pooh Bear.”

“Mom?!”

She laughs as the two of them pull away to Rhett and Amaya approaching in the distance. Chris walks over to Rhett, hands in his pockets and head hung guilt.

“Rhett I’m sorry for the way I acted. Really, man. You clearly make my mother happy, I guess.” He says looking back at his mother who’s now hugging Amaya’s side. “So that’s all that matters to me.” Chris finally extends his hand.

Rhett sets his pile of wood down at the fire pit and reciprocates the gesture. “Apology accepted. That’s all I want is to make her happy.”

“I umm, I saw the fishing poles inside. Do you fish?”

“Every time I’m here. Actually, the catfish are great this time of year. Maybe we can do a little sunrise fishing and catch tomorrow night’s dinner for these lovely ladies?”

“I’d like that.  And I’d really like to get to know you better. Even if you are an Astros fan.” The four of you laugh.

“I’d like that too.”

After they shake hands Amaya walks over to her future husband, reaching up to pull him down for a warm kiss.

“That’s the man I love.”

“Well, she threatened to ground me.”

She heartily laughs out loud. “Is that all it takes? I’ll keep that in mind.”

After relaxing by the fire and listening to Rhett strum his guitar for a while longer, they all head inside as it starts to flurry. Preparing for bed, Amaya and Chris curl up together in their plush comforter admiring the light snowfall through the window; by the warm firelight of their room.

“That was a very nice thing you did for your mom.”

“I guess I was acting a little childish.”

“Really Chrissy Pooh Bear?”

Annoyed, he leans in tickling her sides only to end up pulling her in for a kiss.

“I guess I’m going to just have to get used to the fact that my mom has a…”

“A boyfriend?”

“Ugh…I don’t think I ready to say that yet.”

“A pretty sexy boyfriend at that.”

“Please do not call him sexy.”

“Why not? I can’t wait till you get a little more grey in this beard.” She says combing her fingers through his scruff.

Chris rests his hands beneath his head staring up at the ceiling. “If that’s what woman go for these days, I’m gonna shave tomorrow.”   

“You’re a sensitive soul Christopher Powell, who knew?”

“Yeah...yeah. Try not to spread it around will you, I have a rugged reputation to upkeep.”

He rolls over to his side to pull her in closer to him, laying her down further and kissing her neck in the process. Causing her to let out a soft moan in the process.

“Ummm…as nice as that feels, what do you think you’re doing?”

“Warming you up Mrs. Powell. How am I doing?”

“Don’t think you’re going to sweet talk me, after that whole display tonight. I can definitely tell what you’re trying to do. But we are not doing that. Not when your mother and her boyfriend are in the next room.”

“Please do not mention my mother and her boyfriend when I’m trying to get you in the mood?”

“Christopher Powell, we are...mmmm...absolutely, noaaahhht doing this.” Her words leave her mouth in a breathy airy whisper, encouraging him to continue despite her verbal protests. Taking the hint, slowly he continues his attempts to convince her as the fire slowly dims their room.

“Your body is telling me otherwise.”

“My body can’t think for itself.”

“That’s one of my favorite things about your body. Now let me show you another favorite.”

Accidental Bonding Recs

These fics tend to focus on either characters who already pine for each other and then must hide it due to the forced intimacy, or characters that hate each other but come to understand one another, or a combination of both. Bonding through accidental Mpreg has its own section. Pon Farr also has its own section. If you like Star Trek, Pon Farr is basically canon fuck or die and forced bonding, so check that out.

·       Stiles, why is Derek Hale passed out on our front porch? By marguerite_26, mothlights (Teen Wolf, Explicit, 4K, 2013)

o   Stiles freezes, carton of milk half way to his mouth. He looks around the empty room, wondering if it has any answers. Derek Hale just passed out on his front porch -- sounds like one of the signs of the coming apocalypse.

o   The archangel Gabriel had never chosen a Bearer for his sword. Until now.

o   [Sam/Gabriel, Destiel, fluff, humor, crack, minimal smut]

o   Gabriel’s voice is a perfect balance of snarky and irreverent. The little hints to deeper character feelz were just the cherry on top.

o   There is a way to break the accidental bond between Harry and Snape; it simply involves lots of sex.

o   [Snarry, fuck or die-ish, PWP, smut, hate sex, bickering, coming together, forced intimacy]

o   This almost belonged in fuck or die, but the sexual relationship is already started and there’s no angst about whether or not to do it. Rather, this fic focuses on the building intimacy between the characters so I put it here.

o   Accidental bonding. Breaking and entering. Conspiring, however unwillingly, in the strange one-man war Malfoy's waging against detention. This isn't the normal school year Harry anticipated having, but at least it's not boring.

o   [Drarry, getting caught going to bone-town, bickering, forced proximity, forced bed sharing, forced intimacy, smut, UST, humor]

o   This one has a sweet buildup of Harry and Draco’s relationship. How do I put this—they aren’t super angsty and hateful towards each other. Not to say that there isn't some wonderfully awkward situations going on and they do fight, but it’s more bickering and less I hate you. It’s a good fic is what I’m saying.

·       Grooming Instincts by jemariel (Supernatural, Explicit, 26K, 2018)

o   There's something going on with Cas. Dean is determined to help him through it, in whatever way he can. He might end up with more than he bargained for. OR: Dean helps Cas scratch an itch. As it were.

o   [wing kink the fic, oil gland kink, porn, humor, virgin!Castiel, pining, communication is a skill, that they don’t have, bonding, angel marriage: sort of]

o   Gets into glorious, glorious detail about the wings. Kinky as hell with that. Wing kink: the fic. You’re welcome.

·       ♥ Angels on the Moon by Writcraft (Harry Potter, Explicit, 27K, 2017)

o   The aftermath of the war is almost as difficult as the war itself, Harry is a mess and Severus is a reluctant survivor forced back to Hogwarts to recuperate from his injuries. When a brick-bonding spell goes awry, Harry and Severus are forced to confront hatred, misunderstandings and a new and unexpected intimacy which takes them both by surprise.

o   [Snarry, empathy, healing, magic, magic shenanigans, trust issues, Cranky!Snape, Post-war fic, forced intimacy, fuck or die-ish]

o   Snape is his best worst self in this fic and I just ate up his intimacy issues. The awkwardness of their forced intimacy is everything I could have asked for in an accidental bonding fic. The description of their magic mixing is lovely as well.

·       ♥ ♥ Better Than Dead by heartsdesire456 (Teen Wolf, Explicit, 27K, 2013)

o   When Stiles is gravely injured, the only way to save him is for Derek to turn him. However, Derek never did learn exactly what certain bites meant and, without this knowledge, he accidentally claims Stiles as his mate. Alpha werewolves mate forever. However...Betas don't.

o   [accidental!bonding, accidental!soulmates, mating shenanigans, so much angst, slow build, all the bonding tropes, emotionally constipated!Derek, emotionally constipated!Stiles, pining, UST, selfless!Derek]

o   I love the tension between Derek and Stiles here. So delicious. If you love clearly destined to be together, Stiles and Derek becoming friends through forced intimacy, then this is your fic. I still reread it all the time.

·       ♥ ♥ Shout it Out Loud by dreamlittleyo (X-Men, Explicit, 30K, 2011)

o   When Charles forges a telepathic link between himself and Erik, the two men find themselves bound together by more than just destiny. With the world on the brink of war, Charles and Erik struggle to cope with a psychic connection that may well be permanent.

o   [Charles/Eric, X-Men Origins AU, telepathy, emotional intimacy, healing, UST, soooo much UST, Idiot!Charles, minimal smut, fluff, angst, heart break]

o   This was an absolutely beautiful fic. You can feel their love for each other woven through every word and it’s just fucking gorgeous. I can't recommend it enough.

·       Lap Magnet by Prairie_Grass (Teen Wolf, Explicit, 30K, 2014)

o   Wherein an ill-advised floral arrangement leads to a whole new definition of obliviousness, accidental mate-bonds, and far more sex and tropes than one fic really needs.

o   [accidental bonding, soulmates—kind of, Smut, humor, but like so much smut, dubcon, Oblivious!Everyone]

o   Super well written tropey fun. Really well known fic, and if you like the accidental bonding trope with your porn and you haven’t read this, what are you doing with your life?

·       How High the Moon by kyliselle (Star Trek, NC-17, 39K, 2010)

o   After the destruction of Vulcan, Spock shielded his mind to protect it from his broken bond with T'Pring. Little did he know another bond had already formed in its place.

o   [mind meld, telepathy, Asshole!Spock, Oblivious!Spock, communication fail, so much angst]

o   Spock is almost too much as asshole here, but the concept is so wonderfully done and the tension so well held that I don’t care. As the original prompt asked for, this focuses super hard on the mental bond, telepathy, and all the yummy tropes. A must read for intimacy and bond drama.

·       Before the World Was Made  by daftfear (Harry Potter, Teen, 43K, 2014)

o   Draco has done everything in his power to leave the past behind him. He’s established himself a successful business and built a reputation around the quality of his work and the breadth of his knowledge. But when aurors show up at his shop one afternoon, seeking his expertise on a peculiar item of questionable origins, they completely overthrow the precarious balance in Draco’s life. Trust Potter to bring danger and destruction in his wake, along with a painful reminder of all the things Draco is trying to forget.

o   [Drarry, accidental bonding, forced proximity, gratuitous bed sharing, pining, communication is a skill, sex for reasons, healing, discrimination]

o   This is another well-paced, well-written, well-romanced fic. Harry and Draco’s dynamic is portrayed nicely.

·       ♥ In Evidence of Magical Theory by bixgirl1 (Harry Potter, Explicit, 44K, 2017)

o   When a hex meant for Draco accidentally catches Harry as well, they're forced to learn to understand each other in ways they previously might have thought impossible. In which Harry and Draco can't fight, so they fall in love instead.

o   [Drarry, bickering, UST, pining, snark, forced bed sharing, forced intimacy, mental connection, suuuuper UST, awkwardness, smut]

o   A classic accidental bonding. This fic has the best awkwardness from the forced intimacy and the slowly learning not to want to kill each other. The tropes are perfectly done here. This is one I’d recommend for anyone.

·       Distance Removed by General_Button (One Punch Man, Mature, 44K, 2016)

o   Pain along his wrist fizzled into existence and then, like a switch, exploded. Saitama stumbled back, fighting the urge to shout, and waited for it to fade. “What—sensei, are you all right?!” Genos was staring at him incredulously, his mouth agape.

o   [Genos/Saitama, forced proximity, shared physical sensations, healing, intimacy, friends to lovers]

o   This really captures the voice of the characters and show; the deadpan absurdity of them living their normal lives with all this fantastical stuff going on and Saitama’s emotional disconnect.

·       Once Upon a Time (A Fairy-Tale Love Story) by littlebirdtold (Star Trek, Explicit, 47K, 2013)

o   Jim finds himself in a parallel universe where the Milky Way is under the control of an alien race and ends up as a servant in the residence of the Royal House of Vulcan. As he starts adapting to his new life, Jim's curiosity fucks everything up—but hey, Vulcans shouldn't have told him that he isn't allowed to enter this wing of the palace; Jim has never been good at following rules.

o   [porn with plot, humor, power imbalance, communication is a skill, emotionally constipated Spock, asshole parents, telepathy, empathy]

o   Littlebirdtold has a very particular voice for Kirk that I don’t 100% love; it’s like he’s too driven by his dick. Her fics tend to conflate love with good sex. However, this is still very good, well-paced, sexy, and fun. I think my problem with her fics are personal taste because they are excellent, and clearly popular.

·       ♥ The Morning After by noodleinabarrel (Star Trek, Mature, 50K, 2016)

o   After a passionately illogical night of Romulan Ale and chocolate infused liquor, everything changes when Jim wakes with something other than a hangover filling his head. Something he's sure neither he nor Spock can handle. Because if Jim knows anything for sure, it's that his messed up thoughts belong nowhere near Spock's clean, ordered mind.

o   [accidental bonding, UST, pining, forced intimacy, insecure!Kirk, healing, Oblivious!Kirk, afraid of commitment, mind meld shenanigans]

o   This is a perfect example of an accidental bonding fic. Like this is what I would put as the picture in the dictionary. Needless to say, it’s very good.  

·       UST (An Unfortunate Series of Tropes) by ureshiiichigo (Teen Wolf, Explicit, 54K, 2015)

o   Stiles thought he and Derek were finally getting to be bros, and then Deaton had to go and ruin everything with his stupid spell.

o   [Tropes, so many tropes, soul bonding, accidental soul bonding, scent kink, pack dynamics, Oblivious!Stiles, EmotionallyConstipated!Derek, UseYourWords!Derek, gratuitous sandwich sharing, telepathy, smut, dubcon, consent issues, communication issues, doughnuts, UST]

o   This was written for a trope bingo and it is glorious for it. It’s a bit silly, but, like, in a good way.  The sexy bits are also very sexy.

·       Cursed Or Not by Ltleflrt (Supernatural, Explicit, 115K, 2014)

o   While experimenting with magic when he was a kid, Sam accidentally cursed Dean. Now, Dean is forced to wear a spelled amulet constantly, or he'll turn into a random animal. For a little over a decade, he's learned to live with the curse, and has even found it useful in some cases, but he sure would be happier without it. When he meets a witch named Castiel, he's offered a deal.

o   [Destiel, Witch!Castiel, Familiar!Dean, trust issues, minimal smut, UST, Sassy!Gabriel, accidental bonding]

o   This one is rather out of character; however, the writing is solid, and overall it’s a solid fic, but not if you’re looking for a great depiction of Dean. I think this is for people who want fluff and romance in their fics rather than angst. Which is probably why I wasn’t as into it, lol.

·       ♥ ♥ Mental by sara_holmes (Harry Potter, Mature, 187K, 2010)

o   Harry has had quite enough of sharing his mind with someone else, thank you very much. A miscast Legilimency spell says otherwise.

o   [Drarry, telepathy, humor, angst, pining, bickering, communication, smut, jealousy, super focus on the telepathy, mind meld, slow build, enemies to friends to lovers]

o   This is a classic. One of those perfect fics that you’re sad you can only enjoy for the first time once. It also deeply explores the characters, doing an especially good job with Draco.

[shemakesmeforget]

15 fics under 1K kudos - WIPs

Here’s the list for wips, I might have to do a part 2 for this too lol WHO READS THIS MUCH JSADGSJG these are all fics I think are not abandonded (if I’m wrong, correct me) but I just listed stuff that've been updated in the last 6 months, just in case. Anyway, enjoy :)

A Practical Guide to Winning the Olympics (Dos and Don’ts) by Anna (arctic_grey) (@finleighsaid)

Canonverse, Rated E, 75K, 3 / 4

When pair skater Yuuri Katsuki’s career comes to a scandalous end, he does not expect the retired pair skating legend Viktor Nikiforov to suggest that they compete together. But taking on a new skating partner is full of trial and error, and the skating world doesn’t know how to react when the Katsuki-Nikiforov duo, against all odds, starts doing well. The last thing either of them should do, as they strive for their last chance at greatness, is to fall in love. Yuuri knows he is damaged goods, and Viktor knows his body is starting to fail him. They have competitions to survive and medals to win. No, falling in love is out of the question; they’re just very good friends. And even if Viktor felt something, he’d never act on it, and even if Yuuri happened to be hopelessly in love, he’d be mortified if Viktor ever found out.

“Well,” Viktor said, “let’s summarise: I’m pushing thirty, have a bad ankle, and haven’t skated competitively in three years. You’re barely out of a doping scandal, coachless, and on the JSF’s blacklist. Hell, Yuuri – we might as well go for it, then. What on earth do we have to lose?

When Viktor put it like that, it seemed to make an awful lot of sense.

• The fact that this is one of the few pair skating AUs out there it’s insane imo BUT this one is so good? just imagine the amount of UST, they’re all over each other, i’m in love!

Mon Trésor by KasumiChou (@kasumi-chou)

Canonverse, Rated T, 14K, 4 / 5

Curse his fragile little heart for always falling for people out of his league.

Like, what chance did he ever have with Victor Nikiforov? But Victor still became, not only his childhood idol but also, his first crush.

His first crush was a man four years his senior. A man who lived in another continent. A man that hadn’t known he existed until a week ago.

Then he had moved to Geneva, and his heart had been hypnotized by Chris’s charm

Before he knew it, not only had Chris hypnotized him, but also seduced him.

His fragile little heart had done it again, falling in love with another man out of his league.

At least his second crush had been a little more realistic.

He knew Chris, they had been rink mates - and later roommates.

Maybe that is what made it so much more dangerous.

Canonverse, Rated M, 9K, 3/?

Loving Yuuri was a choice that Viktor never regretted making. His smile, his laughter, the way his lips felt against his own—nothing could make him happier than having Yuuri in his arms.

But when the entire world has no idea that rivals Yuuri Katsuki and Viktor Nikiforov are in a relationship, Viktor can't do anything at all when Yuuri gets in an accident and is rushed to the hospital the day after he proposes in a hotel room in Nagano

• Angsty secret relationships are apparently my thing, this one is so bittersweet because they’re so cute and soft but at the same time the drama!!!

@phichit_chu @y_plisetsky, can you even reach my neck? 

-

There is a bitter rivalry between Yakov Feltsman and Celestino Cialdini that has stretched on for decades.

As tensions escalate and the ISU begin to punish any aggressors, it was inevitable that Viktor Nikiforov and Katsuki Yuuri, rivals-by-consequence and enemies-by-association, would fall in love.  

• Rivals AU but like whole skating fams against each other!!!!! Sassy Yuuri, pining Viktor, angry Yuri and lots of social media shenanigans.

Time and Hearts Will Wear Us Thin by lunar_peach

College AU, Rated T, 151K, 19 / 20

Maybe it was the impact of the fall, and the numbing action of the ice, but he felt weightless. He felt conquered by cupid and the sting of his arrow right in the middle of his chest as he looked up at Yuuri, who held a blank expression on his face.

Maybe it was the impact of the fall, and the numbing action of the ice, but he felt weightless. He felt conquered by cupid and the sting of his arrow right in the middle of his chest as he looked up at Yuuri, who held a blank expression on his face.

Somewhere in the distance, though it seemed like a different dimension to Victor, a timer went off. The music stopped.

You could hear it in the silence then.

Victor’s heart was going one hundred miles an hour.

Or the one where Yuuri Katsuki, scented candle aficionado, and self-proclaimed hot mess, never intended to capture the attention of one eligible bachelor, Victor Nikiforov, but sometimes the universe has its ways of making things happen. Amidst inner battles with their demons and themselves, they find a world in one another neither quite expected.

• The tags look kinda crazy but don't fear (?) this fic goes through lots of years LOTS, a story about friendship, love, heartache, “we can't be together vs we should be together”, and the ongoing growth of the characters BEWARE it gets super angsty at times.

do you love me just a little, honey? by DefiantDreams (@gia-comeatme)

Spy/Mafia AU, Rated E, 4K, 1 / 3

Viktor Nikiforov, next Pakhan, has a type.

Yuuri Katsuki, Division 6’s newest honeypot agent, is sent to exploit that.

Victor the Great by Multiple_Universes (@witharthurkirkland)

Historical AU, Rated T, 43K, 17 / 21

At the age of nine Victor became the Tsar of all the Russias with Lilia as regent. One day he will be the sole ruler of Russia, the man who makes all the decisions and gets to do what he wants, with one exception: he has to marry a woman from a Russian aristocratic family. Except that he falls in love with a boy who is a foreign commoner. Will he risk the throne to be able to marry the one he loves? 

Based loosely on Peter the Great's life (with some tweaks made to history).

• Follow the life of Tsar Viktor falling in love with Yuuri and eventually having his very own St. Victorburg or Yuuriburg ;)

Office AU, Rated M, 24K, 6 / 8

The Roommate Trap by impolitecanadian (@impolitecanadian)

Roommate AU, Rated M, 11K, 5/?

Victor doesn't believe in marriage. So when Chris, his best friend and roommate of 6 years, tells him he's going to have to move out so he can get married, Victor is reasonably upset. Good thing Victor's upstairs neighbour is looking for a roommate and maybe a little (okay, a lot) more. 

this is basically the odd couple but with a lot more sex and non-subtextual gayness 

• Viktor is a fool, Yuuri is the sass master/anxiety disaster, Chris just wants all the drama. They totally don’t work well together but it’s hilarious.

Roses of May by cuttlemefish (@cuttlemefishwrites)

Royalty/Magic AU, Rated E, 18K, 5/?

At age five, all children are assessed for talent and beauty in the City of Hasetsu and the other eight cities of the Empire. Every year, five are branded with the mark of a rose before being carded off to the Emperor’s palace where they are trained to become Roses, or sacrifices to be sent every May to the Ice Spirit that lives in the castle at the top of the mountain. Roses never return, except for Katsuki Yuuri, who shocks the Empire when he appears again two years after his departure with a silver crown on his head and a blond baby in his arms, demanding the Emperor step down or face the wrath of his husband, the Ice King. But, not everything is what it seems.

• Such an interesting world with lots of very well thought details! also... growing up together, childhood friends to lovers...... you can’t come at me like that.

History Maker by 96percentdone (@96percentdone)

Time Travel/Soulmates AU, Rated T, 15K, 5/?

It's the year 2134. Katsuki Yuuri, recently turned 18, just got his soulmark. There's really only one thing left to do: submit it to the online database and figure out who his match is, meet up with them and hopefully live happily ever after. Seems simple enough, right? Well, it would be, if his soulmate wasn't Viktor Nikiforov, a figure skating legend from the early 2000s.

AKA the story where Yuuri invents time travel to be with his soulmate, and shenanigans happen.

• me at me: don’t read this you’re a big baby and you’ll suffer; also me:¯\_(ツ)_¯ I like this AU a lot, imagine being so iconic you invent time travel just to meet your soulmate.

Toxic Valentine by voxofthevoid (@voxofthevoid)

Demons AU, Rated E, 53K, 8/?

The worst he can do is kill you with his dick.

Viktor, pleasantly tipsy and unpleasantly lonely, assumes that the pretty man he sees in a club is a sex demon. Instead, he finds reserved, nervous Katsuki Yuuri who’s as reluctantly enchanted by Viktor as Viktor is by him.

The rest of the night is unforgettable, and in the morning, Yuuri’s still there.

Love bleeds into lust, infatuation becomes adoration, and it's not long before the loneliness Viktor wears like a shroud disintegrates under the weight of warm brown eyes and tender hands. But Viktor has his secrets, and Yuuri might not be all he seems. 

In which Viktor discovers life and love in a man who’s as mysterious as he is beautiful, and it could be the best or worst thing that’s ever happened to him.

• The love story between the thirstiest demon hunter aka Viktor and a demon???????  Yuuri. A great balance between fluff, sexy times and mystery!
