Ten/Martha + Bridgerton AU (inspo)
Dearest reader,
The season has only just begun, and the ton is already abuzz over a most peculiar development. It appears Lady Martha Jones has captured the interest of the Duke of Lungbarrow. After several dances in ballrooms and discussions at dinner parties, noted by many a curious onlooker, there can be no doubt about it: the Duke is courting the young miss.
The hopes of mamas everywhere may be crushed for a second time. It was a year ago, after all, that the Duke of Lungbarrow had become engaged to the Honorable Rose Tyler. Though we all remember how that match fared. Since then, the Duke has been adamant that he will never marry. Lady Martha Jones's fine features, however, have turned his head—and perhaps changed his intentions as well.
This must be wonderful news for her mama, who has been particularly vocal about procuring a suitable match for her second daughter this season. But has the Duke finally come out of the sullens and committed himself to finding a wife? This author cannot say for certain. Rest assured, I will be keeping a close eye on the situation.
Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown

I like your thoughts about the children in the cheating AU.
As a child I wished that my parents would divorce. Even as an adult I wished for it because I always thought my mother was so unhappy. Now that something happened to my father I realized I never really knew the feelings of my mother. I only have my own view and feelings.
It would be interesting to know if the children ever really talked with their parents over this fucked-up situation before they came up with their own thoughts and feelings.
I think they have to eventually but it’s definitely not the first reaction for them because the scale of the wrong that obi-wan and anakin did to Padmé is absolutely startling. Not only did the affair last for years, but it was probably some sort of scandalous news story too. Come on, two senators get divorced around the same time and then one of those senators starts openly dating the other senator’s ex husband? And there are children involved? Scandalous!!
I don’t think it’s galactic level news that the new kenobi Skywalkers never escape, but I’m sure the trashy gossip magazines are there when the twins are old enough to look for themselves and see it
and then the whole truth also involves that obi-wan really did worm his way into the twins’ lives like a third parental figure and the twins didn’t know any better than to accept him eagerly and now they have to deal with the realization that they must have hurt their mother…a lot…without even knowing it. and maybe it’s not rational but I bet they feel really guilty about that
so I think in the case of the cheating au, the twins finding out about the past affair and how shit it was and how much it fucked over their mom isn’t something that leaves room for talking with obiwan and anakin before reacting. I can imagine one twin being like “well maybe we should hear their side” and the other going “fuck that, look at what they did look at all the evidence there is no side that makes this better” and the first twin being like…..ok you’re right ….
but I don’t think it ruins their relationship with their fathers forever!! And that eventually they do talk to them and they do hear them out and they see how devastated obi-wan is feeling at the idea of losing them and how guilty anakin still feels and it gets marginally better
it’s just the scale of wrong doing and destruction and betrayal in the cheating au…it’s so much I dont think anyone could be rational about it before reacting in emotion if they truly love every party involved

MTL OC Week (Day 4): Flirty OR Friendly Banter
CW: Drug mention/use (Pickles smokes like, once.)
The familiar stench of weed permeated the air of Pickles' van, surrounding himself and the girl he'd met in rehab, Aveena. She'd been teasing him the whole night about his name, asking if he had a brother named Dill; he did have a dillweed of a brother, but he kept that to himself.
"Y'know, Aveena doesn't suit ya either." Pickles leaned his chin against his seat, raising an eyebrow when he heard Aveena giggling. "What? It doesn't!"
She was still giggling as she pushed herself up on her elbows, her olive-colored eyes bright with mirthe. "Aveena means love in Hindi. At least, that's what my mom told me."
Flushing, the drummer frantically wove his hand in the air. "Dat's not what I meant. Ya are loved!" Neither of them said anything for a moment, letting his words mix with the smoke in the air. "I mean, uh… ya know what I meant!" He flung the empty carton at her, missing her entirely. "Shuddup!"
Aveena's laughter joined his, the darker-skinned woman feeling as though she was going to pass out. Once she could remember how to breathe, she sat up to face Pickles. "So, what did you mean, then?" She couldn't keep the smile off her face, admiring how Pickles' cheeks were as red as his wild locks.
"I meant…" Pickles' eyes traveled up to the van ceiling, seemingly lost in thought, his fingers drumming against the car seat. "It's… it doesn't suit ya?" He ran a hand through his red hair, catching the ends. "I dunno how ta explain it… ya ever thought 'bout goin' by a nickname?"
Aveena bit the inside of her cheek, her eyes drifting to the roof as well. Pickles was right, in his own way; she didn't feel like Aveena was her name. "What? Something like Avery?" She wasn't a big fan of that name either, though.
Pickles maneuvered his body to sit up and look at her, leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees. "I'unno, I mean, it'd be yer nickname. How 'bout I start listin' some, and ya stop me when ya find one ya like."
"I'm not going to let you choose my name, Pickles."
"Aw, cahm on! Why not?!"
"Well, for starters, you're named Pickles."
"It's not like I named myself dat!" Despite his irritated tone, Pickles wore a grin. "Cahm on. It'll be fun."
"Fine, but I'm killing you if you say something like… Apple."
As he thought up some possible nicknames, his fingers danced on the center console to a jumbled rhythm. "Okay then, what about Ave? No? Ava? Not dat, either? Fuck, cut me slack, this is hard. Aven… no… Av? God, okay. Dat was terrible… Avi?"
Her breath caught in her throat at Avi; she had a cousin in India named that. She wasn't sure why, but she was always jealous of his name — maybe because it was shorter and sounded cooler than Aveena? "Y'know, that's actually not half bad." Tapping Pickles' arm, the corner of her lip twitching.
"Ya like it?" Pickles' green eyes lit up, and he mumbled the nickname under in his breath in rapid success. "Yea! Then it's settled; next time we're at group, yer goin' by Avi."

where’s my toxic dark academia au where the Jedi Order is a prestigious private university for rich kids who are all a different flavor of beautiful and fucked up, and Anakin is the kid they let in on scholarship once every a few years and he comes in scrappy and defensive and in love with the daughter of the family who is sponsoring him (and maybe half-adopted him when he was 10 so it’s a bit fucked up all around)
and he meets this pretentious dickbag of a student on his hall who is so cold and aloof that anakin can’t stand him, this guy obi-wan who’s so beautiful and untouchable and who sees right through him
I imagine they fuck in the most explosive way where they’re in the middle of a very loud fight in some bathroom in some rich kid’s house and neither is sober, and obi-wan says some awful shit about anakin being in love with Padmé and if his adoptive parents knew they probably would wish they hadn’t adopted him and anakin says some awful shit about how obi-wan’s been sent to boarding schools all his life cause his father never wanted him, and it starts as a fight but they’re just punching each other with their mouths and probably crying too

damn bottom surgery would be so dope if it didn’t involve an entire life savings, a list of potential risks of things that could go wrong or not work after, and was more perfected and safe
it’s like i want it until i research again more and get so discouraged at the process, the pain, the money, the time it takes, the risks.
i don’t even feel the strongest need to have a dick for sex, i just have a squirrel bladder and it would be incredible to pee wherever whenever without troubles LMAO
