[ PICREW SOURCE ]

tagged by the lovely @carlosoliveiraa to make a shippy picrew! did a few pairings since the options were fairly decent (not perfect, but good enough). from top left to bottom right (with my ocs italicized):

uthgerd the unbroken & ishza v'atze

shepard james fleming & preston garvey

franklin clinton & phoebe blackwell

cole denholm walker & antonia perryman

i'll tag... @vendettapandav , @sergeiravenov , @alexxmason , @kourumi , and @rolangf

[saintsenara]

hello! i found your blog through twitter—someone recommended your ron/hermione meta there, and im not good with words, but i just wanted to let you know that i feel so blessed to get to read it and have your presence in this fandom ❤️ not only that it’s so comprehensive, but the way you explain and connect each details to build up the argument/reasoning is really amazing!

which also amaze me considering that they are not even your main otps (a quick search told me that it’s snape/voldemort, dumbledore/voldemort and harry/voldemort, right?), which speaks so much of your reading comprehension and attention to details, imo :D

also, while im neither of your otps shipper, it sparks my curiosity on what you like about those ships—have you written a ship analysis/meta for either of them like you did with ron/hermione?

ahh thanks so much, anon - this is a really lovely message! i have been delighted to take up arms to defend romione's honour, and very pleased that so many people have also followed the call.

and yes, for my sins my preferred pairings are ones in which someone involved has a snatched little waist and blood all over his hands...

i've got a riddledore manifesto [and also a snumblemort one - we love a toxic triad here!] locked and loaded, and there are asks sitting in my inbox about snapemort and tomarrymort which i promise i'm not ignoring [i kick my legs in the air and go oHoHoHo whenever an ask comes in - they are delightful] and will get around to answering when i have the time to sit down and enter an appropriate state of derangement.

but the fundamental principles behind my interest in all three are the same: that the harry potter series prioritises love-as-suffering-and-sacrifice and ignores how much each of these men would appreciate the value of love-as-comfort; that "i would stop killing for you" and "i would live for you" relationship dynamics are just as delicious [if not more so] as "i would kill for you" and "i would die for you" ones; that there is not a soul on earth incapable of redemption; and that there is not a soul on earth unworthy of giving and receiving love.

January OTP Prompts

I'm not sure how closely this one follows the prompt, but alas I was inspired *by* the prompt and that's how this whole thing works right? Thank you so much for all the continued support on these! We are in the home stretch! (I also didn't proof read this one, like at all so if it makes even less sense than usual that's why)

WARNINGS: Discussions of past drug abuse, and speculation that Fictional!Matty has relapsed (he has not)

27. Ringing bells

Matty was missing and George was losing his mind. The warning bells had gone off ringing that morning even if he hadn’t realized that’s what they were at the time. Matty had been moody, more subdued, snapping at anyone who dared acknowledge him, scratching at his arms and fidgeting as he moved eggs around on his plate without actually eating them. George had found himself growing irritated at him, they didn’t deserve his abuse. Matty had snapped that he was fine and to lay the fuck off when Ross had asked how he was doing. I’m not going to run off and get high, Matty had snarled, you can stop looking at me like that. 

He had pushed his plate away, his phone still sitting on the hotel restaurant table. “I need a cigarette,” he said, standing up. “I’ll be right back.” 

That had been three hours ago, and no one had seen Matty since. George wondered if he had left his phone on purpose, knowing he was easily trackable via Find My Friends. George regretted not standing up, not chasing after him with an I'll join you. But he had been thankful, in the moment for the relief, the ability to roll his eyes at Ross, commiserating over Matty’s antics without the man in question to see them. Soon dread filled his belly as the minutes ticked by and Matty didn’t return. George knew they were all thinking it, even if no one dared speak it outloud. 

“I’ll just call him,” said Ross, “make sure he didn’t get trapped talking to a fan or something.” That’s when they realized his phone was sitting on the table. The screen lit up, the device vibrating silently as the line rang.  

He wasn’t in their hotel room, he wasn’t in the fitness center or the garden. The woman at the front desk was unsure if she had seen anyone matching Matty’s description leave through the front doors. George wanted to cry. They had been doing so well. Things had been going so well. Matty had been doing better. He knew that being back on tour was hard for him, the come down from the admiration of a roaring crowd to the silent isolation of a nondescript hotel room giving him whiplash. He knew that Matty still fought cravings every day, but he met with his therapist bi weekly and was making an active effort to stay healthy, to stay clean.

He needed to call Jamie, he needed to call Tim and Denise. He felt like a failure, he was supposed to be the one keeping an eye on Matty, keeping him safe and instead he had lost him. Matty disappearing to god knows where and getting into god knows what. He was Matty’s partner, Matty was his other half. He saw the signs, he knew that Matty was having a bad morning and instead of treating him with compassion he met him with annoyance. 

They walked through the ground floor of the hotel a third time, growing desperate. George wanted him to be in the hotel, wanted him to be sitting just outside some little side door rather than out in the world where anything could happen to him.

“DON’T LET THE DOOR CLOSE,” Matty shouted and George blinked, not actually expecting to find him sitting on a small loading dock, surrounded by a twelve foot fence topped with barbed wire like he was imprisoned. 

“Matty?” George asked in disbelief, standing in the doorway, holding it open with his body as Matty flung himself into George’s arms. 

“I came out for a cigarette,” said Matty, he was crying, tears of relief George realized. He blinked, shocked to find he was crying too. “The door shut behind me and locked, and I didn’t have my phone.” 

“You’re okay,” said George, running his hand down Matty’s back, the words a mix of comfort and vocalizing his own relief. “You’re okay.”

[whumpbby]

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never used an anti tag before and I’m not sure why they’re so determined to protect that tag that they try and tell people off from using it wrong as opposed to just blocking and moving on. I’ve blocked most of them, a new one always seems to pop out of the woodwork every once in a while, but I can’t help but think it would be more fun to make content they like then bitch about content they don’t. They’re now saying the Jiujiuween event is meant to drown out WWX’s bday as if there won’t be a hundred other fan things going on on that day. They want to spam it and I’m so tired of people just not staying in their lane.

It's only ever about attention.

If they made their own tag, like 'bitching about jc' then people would block the tag and continue to use the app as usual.

But they need to be a pain in someone's ass, because if JC enjoyers don't get pissed and interact with them, then what other excuses do they have to keep writing their essays about how bad he is?? Writing for a group of like-minded antis doesn't have the same endorphin kick as being "right" against the "enemy". How will they feed their presecution complex if the worst people do is ignore them??

And, like, it's an actually an easy mechanism to grasp looking from the outside - kids do it all the time, being assholes for attention. And adults too - it's the Elderly Conservative Relative effect as I call itxD If no one mentions a controversial subject they have things to say about during a family meeting, goshdarnit, they will start the conversation themselves and keep it up until everyone else is uncomfortable and wants to leave! Someone will argue back at some point and, by god, they have their arguments locked and loaded!!

But at least they get attention and engagement! It's much easier to keep vomiting the same tired arguments and rewrite canon time and time again to support them. It so much easier to be performatively angry at fictional characters and to make up wild insinuations about strangers. It's the internet, after all.

It's easier than, say, making art or writing fic of some quality. Or even coming up with fun headcanons or ideas more interesting than "Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxian wuv each other so so so much!!!" repeated ad nausea, because their poor little conservative brains cannot step outside of the idea their OTP has to perfect and moral and good to be at all enjoyable. Hehe, sometimes they even have, gasp, sex!>.<

It's easier than writing actual researched meta that looks at all characters and multiple povs, takes cultural and medium tropes into consideration to provide an actual worthwhile critique.

When your main lense of interacting with a work of art is through hating it's integral parts, it's telling, imho.

That is to say, they are simple people. The modern equivalent to an evangelist shouting at the people at a street corner. Not interested in anyone's opinion but their own.

[lovely-but-tired]

I was stumped on some Jeronica headcanons so I just decided to fill out a questionnaire. From @Imaginative OTP Imagines and I was so happy with how easily it all came to me. Thought I'd share.

1: Who spends almost all their money on the other?

Both there both pretentious ass holes who spoil each other.

2: Who sleeps in the other’s lap?

Veronica loves stroking Jugs hair while he's asleep. It's so soft and warm. And Veronica will curl up in his lap when they're watching shows and fall asleep.

3: Who walks around the house half-naked and who yells at them to put on some clothes?

Surprisingly it's Jughead who starts stripping out of his suits and dress shoes the moment he enters his home.

4: Which one tells the other not to stay up all night and which one stays up all night anyway?

Veronica Jughead is a complete night owl and will wake her up in the middle of the night. It drives her nuts. She can also tell when he hasn't gotten enough sleep and makes coffee for him in the morning.

5: Which one tries to make food for the other but burns it all by accident and which one tells them that it’s okay and makes them both cookies?

Veronica can not cook she is just to privileged (but if it's cold she's got a chance.) Jug doesn't make cookies but he will make them coffee or if it to late for caffeine (Veronicas opinion NOT his) hell make tea

7: Which one constantly wears the other’s clothes?

Veronica. She will wear his shirts, his flannels and even buys skirts or outfits that will compliment them.

8: Which one spends all day running errands and which one says “You remembered [thing], right?”

Jughead Jones gets. shit. done. Rent? It's paid in advance. Groceries? Veronica get random text asking her to pick up whatever organic or whole food thing she wants. Random things that come up he's got "rainy day money' and 'end of days' accounts locked and loaded.

9: Which one drives the car and which one gives them directions?

Neither it's New York Ubers, taxies, or personal driving is their mode of transportation. Sure Jug owns a motorcycle but he'll be damned if he ride it around the crowded streets of new york

10: Which one does the posing while the other one draws?

Jughead sees Veronica as a muse for his writing if that counts

11: If they were about to rob a museum, which one does backflips through lasers and which one is strolling behind with a bag of chips?

…shouldn't even have to be said

12: Which one of your OTP overdoes it on the alcohol and which one makes the other stop drinking?

Veronica will 100 percent get smashed when she's out on a girls night while jughead will nurse a glass of aged scotch for about 20 minutes

13: Which one likes to surprise the other with a lot of small random gifts?

With the new found cash he has laying around Jughead will leave little things here and there. A meal showing up at Veronica 's office. A new book laying on her nightstand. A new toothbrush in the holder. Veronica loves them all

14: Which one keeps accidentally using the other’s last name instead of their own?

Jughead, it started out as a joke when they first got together since Veronica changed her last name to Luna when she started college he suggested he change his too. It sounded weird but he will find himself introducing himself as Jughead Luna or Forsyth Luna. (Veronica's Abuelita absolutely adores it)

15: Which one screams about the spider and which one brings the spider outside?

100 percent neither Veronica will demand it die for it's crimes of simply entering her house while Jughead will place it outside claiming she can't play 'judge jury and executioner'

16: Which one gives the other their jacket?

Veronica Luna in Jughead's serpent jacket is 100 the most common sight on a chilly morning/day/ night. Jughead himself actually loves her capes he says it's like a 'portable blanket'

17: Who keeps getting threatened by the other’s overprotective older sibling?

Sure Toni topaz Sweet Pea and Cheryl aren't older or siblings but they sure as hell don't mind throwing out threats on behalf of keeping their family safe. Which one they protect you decide.

18: Who’s the first one to admit they have feelings for the other?

It was admittedly a waiting game… and a long drawn out domesticating process. Oh Veronica left her reading glasses on the night stand again. I'll bring them up to her with some lunch if she doesn't ask for them sooner.

19: How good would your OTP be at parenting?

Childhood trauma and promises of being better make them strive to be the best parents while also being the best partners.

20: Which one types with perfect grammar and which one types using numbers as letters?

Both they will only use 'got 2 go' to get on the others nerves.

21: Who gets attacked by a bully and who protects them?

Both can be slandered and the other just sits back and watches the verbal smackdown that's coming the bully's way.

22: Who makes the bad puns and who makes a pained smile every time the other makes a pun?

Jughead/ Veronica people are pretty sure it's a contest

23: Who comes home from work to see that the other one bought a puppy?

Veronica though Jughead's not that impulsive it probably happened once

24: Which one gives the other a piggyback ride when they’re tired?

Jughead 100. Being a night owl dating a early bird she will fall asleep before him and he's carried her to bed more times then he can count before and after they got together.

25: Which one competes in some sort of activity and which one does the overzealous cheering?

This is a perfect description of the couple when Jughead makes a breakthrough from a bout of writer's block. Veronica will literally stare at him with big heart eyes when he starts tapping away at a rapid pace because she knows.

26: Who takes a selfie when the other one falls asleep on their shoulder?

Veronica! And she will send it to the family with the caption 'see he does sleep'.

27: Which one would give the other a makeover if they asked?

Veronica will be painting Jughead's nails while on the phone or watching a show. She loves putting little touches of 'subtle but dramatic' makeup on him. He's actually pretty good at doing her make up routine.

29: Who will hold the umbrella?

Jughead cause he's taller

28: Which one owns a pet that the other is absolutely terrified of?

Jughead was horrified of Velvet (V cat) who haunted the poor man's dreams for a good amount of years. He still was devastated when he died.

30: If your OTP went on vacation, where would they go and what would they do? Who would take the pictures?

Paris because it's the place of romance and Veronica loves to speak French and have people understand her. Not many picture usually done by Polaroid

4. Do they wash their clothes in the same load or separately?

Together

8. Who’s more likely to buy something that’s not on the shopping list?

Esme. Especially if she's shopping at Target LOL

11. Do they play music in the background while they’re just hanging out at home?

Sometimes. But usually when they're just hanging out at home, they're outside. Unless the weather is shit.

12. Does either partner have an allergy? How does their spouse help keep them safe?

Esme has a bee sting allergy and has to carry an epi pen. He'll always have an extra one in the car/truck or in his backpack if they're out hiking. Just in case. And they get their property sprayed on a regular basis.

Tyler

27. How do they organise their books/DVDs/CDs? Are they kept separate, or together? Alphabetically? By genre?

While all genres are together, things have to be in alphabetical order. And that's Tyler's OCD needing that. He'll even organize her reading nook books lol

32. How do they decide which photos are on display?

They pick them together. Although he does have ones he specifically chose himself that hang in his office.

39. Who’s more likely to lock themselves out?

Tyler LOL. He did once in the third story but it was because he was drunk and couldn't get the key in the lock at two in the morning and then accused Esme (who had to come downstairs to let him in ) of hiring a locksmith and changing the locks while he was out.

Sasha: I’m the knife.

Marcy, from across the room: She’s the little spoon.

Anne: I love you, but if you’re waiting on me to disagree with you, it’s gonna be a long night.

Hop Pop: Do you want to tell me how you guys crashed Bessie?

Marcy: Well, we were driving and there was this deer in the middle of the road that apparently Anne didn’t see, so I shouted, “Marcy, deer!”

Anne:

Marcy: Do you want to tell Hop Pop how you responded?

Anne:

Anne: “Yes, honey?"

Someone: What do they look like?

Anne, sobbing: BEAUTIFUL.

For the ask.... Mr Brain Storm please 👀👉🏽👈🏽

Also hiiiiiii it's been a while!!!! 👀

send me a character and i’ll list:

favorite thing about them

(laying awake in bed) jesus christ, everything he did was always for love wasnt it.

dont get me wrong, its a totally selfish move, bordering on, like, obsession. but its so tragic that he was. i dont know. he was like. i can fix this. i can bring quark back, just like i can solve any problem, i can solve this. and hes so (obsessed? focused?) that he got everyone killed in an alternate universe in pursuit of that. he was willing to wipe himself from existence bro.

idk i also really like those rare moments where he just shows some straight up empathy, like when he comforts chromedome...hes a very interesting character.

he strikes me as a guy whos all "yeah ive got this under control. i can fix everything and get what i want in the end, and i can do it alone" (everything is on fire)

(im missing some nuance here, i really need to read mtmte again...ider where i left off at this point. point is. i like him.)

least favorite thing about them

i dont care how mr roberts writes his dialog. theres no way brainstorm is british.

favorite line

this isnt a line or anything, and i cant even find the panel but how fucking funny is it that brainstorm owns microscopes that look like perceptor. how does perceptor deal with this. just like emotionally.

also his whole trial scene was pretty great.

brOTP

brainy and chromey. just two well adjusted dudes in a normal friendship.

brainstorm telling him not to forget rewind. just like how he hasnt forgotten quark (face in hands) jesus christ. we need more robot therapists.

he and nautica were really cute too. also rodimus :^] of course i gotta say perceptor too. more on that below

OTP

yeah u know i have thoughts on simpatico. i think theyre both pretty alike, as much as theyre different (that totally made sense) like theyre unpleasant, rude, and smarter than you, but theyre also two deeply lonely dudes that slowly crack over the course of the series and. i think im just a sucker for that.

also they kiss on the Mouth

nOTP

meh

random headcanon

brainstorm has given himself immunity to most poisons "just in case". no one has ever tried to poison him, it was just something he wanted to do.

unpopular opinion

honestly i dont go in the tags very often anymore, but i kinda feel like sometimes ppl give brainstorm the rodimus treatment where they write him like some lolrandom character and its just kinda like...Well okay.

song i associate with them

you guys thought i was gonna put weird science. ha. little did yall know, i had another novelty science hit locked and loaded!!!

favorite picture of them

these panels put a big ol smile on my face...its so much. brainy checking his nails, the way he whips his head around, the call back to the first time brainstorm called them simpatico. its just mwah.

[sakuatsutingz]

hi can you possibly do osamu, atsumu and tsukishima when they see someone hitting on their crush (not s/o,yet)? thank youu!!

ofc !! i love this req tho omg,, enjoy !! — jamie

osamu, atsumu & tsukishima when their crush is being hit on

masterlist here

request here

osamu

so osamu has been your best friend since you guys were basically in diapers gn

and you were always attending his games in inarizaki, cheering him on !!

little did you know, samu has had a crush on you for the longest time

his heart would always go ➡️↘️↙️⬅️↗️⬇️⬆️⬇️↖️↙️ whenever you attend his games and cheer the loudest for him

well ure not just a big ass crush to him

youre his best friend and he doesnt wanna ruin your precious friendship <//3

cue years of mutual pining between u two because of that sighs

even aTSUMUS growing impatient

the line between being friends and something more is coming more to a blur every time you guys see each other

like people would think you guys are a couple already because of how close you two act towards each other <//3

but on one fateful day before his vball match started u were already in the hallways, making ur way to the gym where osamus game takes place

and it just so happened a man, who is only slightly taller than you, walked up to u and rested his arm around ur sHOULDER.

u were basically panicking bc u didnt know what to do

“heya doll, what are you doing looking all pretty here ? i say i should take you out.”

your eyebrows furrowed as soon as you heard him, and before you could shove him away from u, you were already caged between the wall

and the lord rlly said ‘let osamu witness all of this’ and boom osamu was there making his way to the water fountain with atsumu and he basically just dropped his water bottle at the sight of you uncomfortably between a wall and a stranger

as soon as he locked eyes with your quivering ones he speedwalked towards the two of u and pushed the guy away from you

“you should know, ya’ shouldn’t mess with what’s not yours.”

said osamu, bringing you closer to his chest with his left arm wrapped around your waist AAAA A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A

the man took the hint and awkwardly walked away as soon as he heard those words

the two of you then made ur way back to the gym, his hand never leaving ur side

well, maybe when you started teasing him

“‘what’s not yours’ ? are you implying that someone owns me, ‘samu-samu ?”

he stopped walking, making you flinch a little at the sudden halt of movement

he cupped your cheeks and gave it a kiss NABEBWJABIAHWIEGWISBJSBFJEBDJHXJSBSJD IM DYING

“you were always mine, got it ?”

atsumu

you've known him since the beginning of high school

and you've always stood out to him !!

you always took his flirting just as a joke

friendly thing to say </3

even though he was being dead serious the whole time

but at the same time he would literally shy away from every opportunity in asking u out

u knew him well and so does he !!

just like osamu, u attended every one of atsumus vball games, cheering him on in his passion !!

honestly he would always do his best to impress u whenever you watch him practice with the inarizaki vbc

heck he would even use 1OO% of his power just !! for u !! to notice !!

whenever he flirts w u the entire team just leaves the two of u alone

bc atsumu has probably spilled about his ever growing crush on u to them

by accident

or maybe osamu was the one to spill the tea

ANYWAYS 

before a match started you visited him on the bench just to check up on him real quick

but someone from the opposite team ran up to you before atsumu noticed your presence

“i’d never thought i’d meet someone so gorgeous like you here, why not you go sit there and cheer for me, yeah?”

meanwhile osamu notices the player go dangerously close to your face, and your eyes plead for help to his own

osamu points it out to his brother and iMMEDIATELY ATSUMU SPIKES A BALL TO THE GUY’S FACE

his aura is TERRIFYING

like do you know that weird yellow smoke thing that shows when the twins did their quick attack

THAT IS WHATS LITERALLY HAPPENING RN

but like you go bby <33

the guy runs back to his own team with a bruised face as tsumu spRINTS TOWARDS YOU

and LITERALLY kisses u JNSJNJKDNJNFFJ

911 i need an emergency my heart stopped beating

“sorry, just had to. i wanted to let ev’rybody know that miss y/n is mine and mine only, ‘kay?”

tsukishima

you, him, and yams have been a trio since elementary school

it was always you three in your own little world

he doesn't remember when he first started to form a crush on you

just like ?? since forever ??

but he's rlly good at hiding his feels sOBS

basically only yamaguchi knows

aND HE ACTUALLY TOLD ALL OF KARASUNO GN

but it's not too hard to figure out he has some sort of feels for you <33

he's a lot nicer to you then he is to most people oops

also is always offering to help you !!

like if your struggling with a class

mans is there to tutor you IM DYING

you don't often go to their games

and if you do it's usually cause yams invited you

bUT ONE DAY

he invited you to a game !!

and you knew it was important if he invited you so you agreed to it <33

you ended up going on the bus with karasuno to get to the arena cause you didn't have a way to get there

and as your loading the bus or wtv ,,

someone from karasuno comes up to you

wayyy too close tho </3

it was clear your uncomfortable with their advances

but they didn't seem to care

and just kEPT FLIRTING WITH YOU

clearly it was getting tsukki pissed gn

yamaguchi was trying to calm him down

it wasn't working SJSJDJ

he ended up basically glaring at the person flirting with you

before walking behind you

and pulling you into a back hug !!

SJSJS WHY CANT THIS BE ME

kinda just looks at the other guy then to you

"is there a problem here babe? this person annoying you?"

THIS GUY IS TERRIFIED

grumpy dino can be v intimidating and this was one of those moments </3

the other guy backs off and ya'll get on the bus

and the only open seats happen to be next to each other for you and tsukki COUGH COUGH

"so, babe huh?"

he just lowkey rolls his eyes and is like

"don't act like you didn't already know, you're mine, okay?"

and the otp of y/n x tsukki came true

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

Hi, I'm aro/ace (spec) and my one crush for the last 15 years just fell apart.

My crush is a fictional character/actor who plays him and *scream cries*

He's also the other half of my otp, and a huge part of my being attracted to him is him being half of my otp

(Explanation: I finally watched season 7, the last season, after years of being scared to, and my crush did something unforgivable [slept with a girl who is not the other half of my otp and is 12 years younger than him] basically every thing I wasn't even afraid of, but the worst thing ever)

And I really need advice because he's the only one I'm attracted to and I can't even look at him right now

(I know he's an actor and this is stupid (I'm sure my attraction for him will come back eventually), but a huge component of the attraction was for the character (stupid, I know)).

My question is, what should I do? I don't have another crush locked and loaded, he's it. And what if I can't ever look at him (the actor) without seeing my beloved favourite character sleeping with a really young girl (still legal, my otp were in their 40s)?

I'm just feeling really lost and your blog is s supportive, I thought you might have advice?

Oof yeah, those kind of age gaps in Hollywood shows are way too common to the point of being the norm. I definitely get not liking them.

Honestly right now I think my advice would be to take a step back and let yourself process it all. How you feel now right after the fact probably isn't how you'll feel a few days or a few weeks from now, so give yourself that time before deciding what you're going to do. (In the mean time you can either take a break entirely, or try doing something like journaling about it to help process your feelings.)

There's no wrong choice in what you want to do. It's OK if you decide you want to move on, you will likely eventually get another crush and OTP, but even if you don't that doesn't mean you have to stick with this one.

It's also OK if you decide you want to just ignore this and pretend it didn't happen (a great fandom skill to develop, I feel), that's fine too. That's one of the nice things with fiction is it's actually OK to just reject a part of canon if you want to. The character that you connect to belongs to you in a way, and you get to choose how you interpret and see them.

But yeah it definitely sucks when this kind of thing happens. It does get easier to navigate though when it's not the first time.

All the best, Anon! Good luck!

It’s The Avengers (03x15)

Loki x Reader Avengers The Office AU (Slowwwwww Burn)

Season 3 Episode 15: Not All Rainbows

Series Summary: Living in the Avengers facility post-apocalypse in a better timeline   Tony Stark has decided to capture every moment by pulling The Office on the Avengers. All of housemates are pretty used to the idea except for you, who had just come here to finish her degree, and the newest member- Loki.

Warnings: did someone just go and tell the otp about the otp?

Word Count: you know that feeling when you have had a bad experience on some project or assignment or homework before. And you know that thing is going to come around again next month or something like that. And you just age yourself by giving yourself anxiety by thinking everything that could go worse in that area. Yeah. So, I kinda shut that off for a few hours and wrote this.

MASTERLIST in bio, darlings. Tags are open (check bio)

An ice pack sits partially on the sofa’s arm and partially on the head that is being knocked softly- but repeatedly- by its designated owner. The fist taps that forehead with the vigour of a dedicated hammer that is softly checking the tensile strength of its mettle. The second camera takes the liberty to zoom in on Tony’s face that has the tension the size of the Alps looming over his head. Other spectators sit around, going about their activities with their five senses while the sixth was stuck on Tony. One camera panned on Wanda’s figure standing in the kitchenette, stirring her coffee cautiously, locking eyes with the lens.

Wanda: Only if you could see the monstrous cloud looming over his head. *stretches the corner of her lips* It’s made less of anger and more of worry and embarrassment. *blinks and furrows her brows* And choco-chip ice cream for some reason. *shrugs* Though I'm just glad that nothing was broken or smashed today. *stops midway* *raises her index finger* Although...

Scott: *glows inside out with a big smile stuck on his red face* *swings from side to side in the chair* Huh? What? *shakes head* Nothing. Just *inhales* I'm worried about Tony *continues to smile*

"So-" Steve took the first step and everyone held their breath- "now we know why we weren't able to reach Carol before. She is clearly...kinda...sorta stuck right where Y/N and Loki are? I think the kids are safe now." "Oh? The kids are safe? I must have missed the scene where they returned home with another weird pet," Tony remarked monotonously with his eyes still closed. Peter leaned in towards Scott. "So Loki is one of the 'kids' now." Both the shippers fist-bumped discreetly before looking all serious. The camera swivelled right towards Wanda, who shared a look of bewilderment while pointing at the joy of the shippers who were clearly not reading Tony's wavelength. And Tony was not the only one on the wavelength. There in the corner on the dining table, Clint sat lost in some thought so deep that his resting face was now a resting bitch face while he dipped his arrows in tiny bottles- the purpose of which only he knew- and handled them like his own babies. "You still have to find a way to stab him with these," Natasha was quick to mention as she walked towards her friend and sat opposite him. "Oh, I'll find a way. I was in his head too, remember," Clint pointed out. "He completely underestimates me." "Hmm," she scrunched her nose, "just remove that itch-like thing on your neck before you go after him though." "Where?" He asked as he scratched the side of his neck with the end of his arrow, his furrowed brows suddenly releasing themselves at the dawn of realisation before disappearing from the camera frame to fall down from the seat with a thud. "Told you not to wipe both ends with the same cloth," she muttered while wistfully looking down at an unconscious Hawkeye.

That One Steamy Dungeon™ No one knew how, when or why Lulu was sitting there in Carol's lap like he knew her for ages. No one knew why Carol was stroking him with the back of her fingers while her eyes were stuck on you like two magnetic poles finding that one direction and sticking to it. And you genuinely did not know why you could not stop looking at Carol. All of Carol Danvers. Especially her lips. "What?" Carol finally dismissed the silence with one casual word. "Ag-sa-wuu-you're looking beautiful," was what you came up with. Loki stared at Lulu's camera with one long blink of...slowed surprise. The buzzing camera caught all three of you sitting in the returning silence over dried hay, looking at each other before you scooched down a little to hide the embarrassment visible over your face.

You: *whisper* W-well, she does look pretty despite all the dirt she's lying in. I mean *violently points at Carol in the background* look at her!!! How can someone look sooooo fucking beautiful??? *lick your lips* Except for Loki of course. That dude is on a whole another level.

Carol threw a shirt over Loki's face from her backpack. "Weren't your looks enough this time?" "Wasn't your hairstyle enough this time?" came the retort. You sat there in the middle, your eyes moving between both of them to calculate this new chemistry you were seeing. The camera caught you pulling your legs closer to your chest. "I didn't know you two were so...close to each other."

Javier: *signing* Why? *Furrows his brows* does that make you furious, Y/N? *wiggles his brows up and down in question* Hmm? *zooms in on his face* Hmm? *turns the camera towards the screen from which he and Green are watching the live broadcast*

"Close? I met him on one mission and this punk would have been dead had I not saved his ass back then." Carol smirked through the sentence and you did not realise any time sooner that you were staring at her, your mouth almost at the edge of drooling. "You blew my cover," Loki stressed while putting on the grey free size shirt. "And then she had the audacity to make me pay for her bar bill on the next stop," he gasped while looking at you. Javier took the opportunity to make his drone zoom at your iris, catching your pupils dilate in 4K as soon as Loki started narrating the story to you while you nodded in enthusiasm. "You do realise your ex-girlfriend wants to cut off your new girlfriend's head right this moment, right?" Carol was generous to point out while getting up and wiping off all the dirt and hay. "I'm not his girlfriend." "She's not my ex-" Both of you had the synchronisation of an orchestra. Carol took this opportunity to let her eyes pass the judgment- which played from one face to another and back for sheer entertainment.

Carol: *shrugs* *runs her hand through her pixie cut hair* Priorities, I guess. *nods*

"Anyways," Loki tried to cut this weird air surrounding the three of them that apparently Lulu was the only one enjoying, rubbing himself all around Carol's leg, "do you have a plan to get out of here?" "Of course," Carol simply jerked her shoulders, "punch my way through." You blinked at the camera.

You: Is that why they are called Captain? It has to be, right?

You shook your head and looked around in the ground, leaving Loki to do the bickering on your part as well. "Well, Miss one-punch woman, this time you are not the only one that needs to escape." You found a stick in the corner. It seemed to be made of the same ashen wood that Aellae sat on in her throne room. "We have tiny mortals to save too." Carol chuckled. You raised the stick your eye level, feeling the weight in your hands when suddenly your eyes grow wide and your mouth turns into a horror-filled 'O' "What? Where is the comedy?" A violent grunt came from your lungs, turning both Carol and Loki into attack and defence mode in your direction. Lulu's camera caught you taking the stick out of the orc's stomach. The dull creature blankly looked at the blood turning into sparks flying against the gravity before slowly consuming the whole creature, taking him with them. The next twenty seconds were a pause on every breath. You finally turned around, the stick still in your hand. "Did I kill him?" you asked in a whisper. Loki and Carol shared a glance. "It was just a bruise" Loki shoved your concern away with his hands. "He's in heaven now," Carol sang. "He was a bad guy, right?" "Yes," both of them nearly shouted. "It's good that he disappeared. You helped the universe get rid of a bad guy," Loki clapped his hands before give you an awkward thumbs up. You blinked at both of them. The smile eroding on your lips slowly turned the duo uncomfortable. "Good." Was all you said for your stature completely transformed. "Because that felt..."  you did not finish the sentence, clearly concerning your company. Well, Lulu seemed to like whatever vibes you were giving off. “Y/N,” Loki pretty much sang your name cautiously, slowly lifting his hands in the air to have a word with you to process whatever you were feeling. But you were already running outside with the most suspicious giggle the room had ever heard. Carol even shivered a bit to shake it off of her.

My daddy's got a gun My daddy's got a gun My daddy's got a gun You better run

The one buzzing drone in the hallway caught the slow-motion emotion of you walking into the hallway with the ash stick in your hand like a gun- locked and loaded- with something fierce burning in your eyes. Behind you Loki was trying to catch up with the adrenaline rush you were feeling, calling out your name to stop you. Carol was close behind, cheering you on as much as she could.

My daddy's got a gun My daddy's got a gun My daddy's got a gun Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

The orcs didn’t even seek you out. One of the reasons was the fact that you were running towards them first, swinging your arms with as much force as your body allowed, screaming your lungs out and jumping with fueled excitement whenever they went up in flames. Loki had to take a moment out of those crucial seconds to look at you. To look at that animalistic look in your eyes. Pausing for a millisecond to consciously question whether to admire it or fear it, he almost smiled. He might have stood there for a few seconds more had he not felt the blue plasmic force run by his side to destroy the one orc aiming for you from your blindside.

It started with the hayloft a-creakin' Well, it just started in the hay (loft) With his longjohns on, pop went a-creeping Out to the barn, up to the hay Young lovers and they are not sleeping Young lovers in the hay (loft) With his gun turned on, pop went a-creeping Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)

"Seriously?!" He shouted at the glowing Captain who flew past him. "Catch up. Catch up!" she teased him while leaving a trail of bodies in her way. "ANARCHYYYYYY!!!!!!!" You howled as you ran, following your new crush. Loki sighed, his head trying to hang as low as possible as he looked at the sleek shackles around his wrists. Breathing in a lungful, he grabbed the nearest iron rail from the window looking out at the barren mountains and bent it till it broke in his flexing hand. "Is this why I am still alive?" He whispered to himself while continuing to walk in the direction you just dashed in.

My daddy's got a gun My daddy's got a gun My daddy's got a gun You better run My daddy's got a gun My daddy's got a gun My daddy's got a gun Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

Throne Room Aellae sat on the ash throne frozen in thought when one of her underlings interrupted her daydreaming with its presence. "What?" She did not disguise her displeasure. There has been a mishap on the laboratory floor, my lady." Her body automatically shifted on her seat. "Four guards are dead. The source is unknown." "Is it the woman?" "No, my lady. I just checked up on her after locking Master Loki up." "Then who is it?" "We are yet to find out. My lady." "Then why are you wasting my time by standing here and doing nothing about it?" The skinny elf-like underling bowed down to her and scurried in the opposite direction. It had reached the entrance of the throne room when a weak scream left its lungs and it stepped back- falling down in the process- to make way for the uninvited guest. The poise on Aellae's face took a turn as she looked at the person casually sauntering in her direction, never realising when she got up. "Oh, don't stand on my account," White mentioned breezily with a smirk, coming to a halt right in the middle of the room. "Zune." She called out the name like spitting a curse. "It's been a while, my least favourite Witch of the West Galactica." Zune smiled his precious smile, standing bright in stark contrast to his dull surroundings. "Last time we met, you were grovelling on the floor, begging for mercy in front of the Silver Court, asking them not to punish you for the endless crimes you committed in the last century." The composure was evidently crumbling away in little pieces. Aellae's stone-like glare was slowly turning into fast blinks. Her usually unruffled breaths were now a mocked laugh. "And the court decided to send you to arrest me? Where is the rest of the coven?" She pretended to guess before snapping her pale fingers. "Oh, right. I burned them all. Poor boys. J'uke, Fae and Mi'in were still so young." Zune huffed and smiled. "Hmm. They were really young when they fought you, weren't they? And to answer your question, no. The court did not send me here." Now this made Aellae burst into laughter. "So, you are here for revenge? For your mates?" Licking his teeth, he bit his lip and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, all the playfulness in his feature draining out with every passing second. "I am just here to clean up the mess that you made. But they are the ones who are here for revenge." Taking a step back, Zune gave Aellae a few seconds to realise that they are not the only ones in this room. And just when it dawns upon her, she sees the rest of the 'coven' come out of the shadows, surrounding her from every probable escape route this place could have. "Fae," she whispered with a deep-rooted horror in her throat, backing up into her throne when she looked at the familiar red figure walking towards her. "When you were setting us up on fire-" Fae carried no empathy in his eyes as he moved closer with every step- "you forgot that you cannot make Gods made up of ancient stars disappear when you please." Every cell in Fae's body vibrated with a demonic aura that made the witch go down on her knees. Her breaths shook and her eyes watered. The claustrophobia resulting from just his presence made it hard for her to breathe. "No," she shook her head, trying her best to mask her fear. "No. This cannot be. I destroyed you. I destroyed the senate. I destroyed everything that stood in my path. I cannot fail this time. This world needs to kneel before my power. That God needs to kneel before me. NO!!" The six looked at their leader to begin the ceremony. "Aellae of the covens abandoned, child of the dark refugees, you are hereby sent to the endless pits of the universe for your crimes against the creatures of the universe." The screams of the witch echoed throughout the castle till every last ounce of life in her voice could be heard fading away by the other group at the far end of the other wing. By the time Carol arrived, all that was left were the seven boys and a pile of ash resting by the throne. “That was fast,” she did not refrain from mentioning, “I thought it would take more than that to get her to give up.” Zune shrugged. “Well, it was easy because we had you and your friends this time. She did not have much to distract us with, unlike the last time she was in prison.” Carol smiled a kind smile at them. “I hope they didn’t give you any trouble?” Fae stretched the corner of his lips. “When you first called us to go around the universe to look for a human, we were a little sceptical. But we were glad to have met her.” “Especially Zune,” Mi’in quipped, earning a yank by the ear from the leader. “Thank you for protecting her.” “No biggie. We would have protected her even if you didn’t tell us to.” Carol furrowed her brows at the statement. “Because Loki had already asked us for that favour,” Zune mentioned, clearing any doubts, “and we owed him from way back.” Feeling the ‘ah’ of a satisfactory conclusion coming on her face, she stopped midway to hear your scream turn louder the second you got closer till you turned the corner to enter the hall with your stick, forcing yourself to stop your lungs from going any further than that. “Oh,” you straightened your stance, giving up on the attack position as soon as you realised there was no more threat, “looks like you guys already cleaned the place.” “You almost sound disappointed,” J’uke stressed, judging by your disapproval of the lack of bad guys. Loki stepped in next, clearly having taken care of whatever tried to attack them from the back. "She hurt my friend. I at least wanted to watch her burn," you simply shrugged. Fae patted your head softly. "Don't worry. You'll get your chance." He smiled the most ridiculously comforting smile. "How?" You whined, "you guys already finished her." All the seven boys, Loki and Carol shared a look with each other while you stomped her foot in the ground while staring daggers at the pile of ashes.  "Yeah-" Zune blurted out, scratching an itch in the back of his neck- "we definitely, for sure, totally killed her. Like-" he pretended to chop the air with his hand- "so smooth." Everyone nodded in agreement. Our elder boys of the group supported their leader while Carol gave them soft applause. Loki gave them a thumb's up.

You: *turning away from the scene in the background where everyone now sits outside the castle having a chat with each other* Aww *smile widely* it feels so good to watch them get along like that!! *start staring in the distance* *smile still stuck on your face* I wish my family could get along this well too. You know. *tilt your head* If all of them got along with Loki, I feel like half of the world's problems would vanish just like that. *watch Javier sign something to you* What? Merch store? *reads some more* Manga?? *looks closely at Javier as he continues to sign* Fanfi-what does any of it have to do with Loki? *camera pans in on your confused innocent face*

"Here's my little monster!" Carol talked in a tone that one used on babies while stroking a very excited Lulu. "Who's a scary boy! Who's a scary boy!!! You are!!! Yes!! You are!!!" You chuckled, watching Lulu enjoy the love and attention from the Captain, bumping his head with hers, wiggling in her lap before settling down in her arms, his adrenaline going down. "Who's that?" Carol asked him, pointing at you. Lulu chirped. "And who's mamma's boy?" Lulu chirped again. "Aaaand who's gonna protect mamma from bad guys?" Lulu growled. And then he chirped again, hiding his faceless husk hairy face in his paws. "Oh my God, he growls!!!!" you gasped. "Oh, he is got a lot more to show you, mamma! Give him time." You sat down next to Carol and stroked a yawning Lulu, who was now making biscuits in her arms. "This one's helped me a lot through this weird, fatal, dreamy galactic trip," you mentioned wistfully. The camera- as well as Carol- noticed how your brows furrowed slightly before your teeth bit down on your lower lip and you turned your gaze up to search for something in the rocky terrain before finally resting on Loki. Carol watched this subtle shift, patiently spectating how Loki too was stealing glances your way while having some serious looking chat with the boys.

The boys and Loki: *standing in the grey terrain like a bunch of Gods modelling for luxury hair products* Loki: It's spelt Z-U-K-O Zune: You named a dog after the fire God? Loki: Wha-no. It was all her *points at you*. Apparently, Coco was a bit too mushy for her. Something about 'Zuko reminding her of a guy who was in his redemption arc right now'. Whatever that means. Zune: *looked at the camera panning in on his face*

"So, you wanna go back now?" Carol asked you, her hands still busy stroking a purring Lulu. You inhaled to answer but felt yourself turning to look at Loki. Carol noticed it too. "Of course. H-how, long will it take?" you scratched your forehead. "We were actually pretty close to getting Loki free of his...cuffs. And I'm sure two powerful beings is always better than one." Carol chuckled and nodded. "Tell you what-" she took your hand in hers, something that you were not expecting- "I will go and take care of a couple of things for our return journey. Till then-" she stroked your hand- "you find out for yourself. Whatever it is that you're looking for." That gentle tone and those cryptically simple words changed some spectrum of the emotions on your face. You stared at her for a long while with your mouth agape. "What are you talking about?" Your breath asked in exasperation. "Cuffs, I guess?" she proposed softly with a knowing smirk. You forced out a laugh. "I have no idea what you're talking about," You chuckled and found yourself looking back at Loki again.

The boys- well, at a few of them- tried to calm down the God who seemed to be picking up a rock from the ground. "Okay now-" Gin, our green jellybean, raised his hands- "let's all calm down and talk about this." "Yeah, yeah. How about we all go to the nearest oasis and have a cup of starry vodka and discuss how we are all alive. Right, Mi'in?" Me'isri, sweet yellow candy boy suggested casually. "Right," Loki nearly sang. His every step towards the boys made them retreat two. "We should be happy that the witch is gone for now. What could we possibly have had to do with her anyway? Hm? What's that? Oh! She was the one who stole my essence you say?" "Look," Ho, the sky blue cheery lad was suddenly not feeling so cheery at all, "we did not know-" "You numbnuts were the one who told me that!" Loki was practically hissing through his teeth right now, his steps breaking into a jog that was letting out some potential screams waiting in some lungs. Lulu was having a gala time just jumping in whichever direction the boys ran into as Loki chased them.

[haifengg]

A = Affection (How do they show their affection?)  Ten would tease a lot. A lot. Also he would take a bunch of pictures of his s/o every time they go out or on dates.

B = Bad Day (What could ruin their mood? How are they when they don’t feel overall positive?)  Ten having a stressful day at work is literally every other day in his life. But the days he comes home or shows up for dates in the most terrible mood are the days something was off during dance practice. And doesn’t really has to be his fault to begin with. Just training sessions that felt odd or maybe the group didn’t work as well together.   On those days he just wants to go home. If he was supposed to meet his s/o on a date he would still show up but ask them if he could take a rain check. Ten would not postpone by text or anything but he would ask to reschedule.

C = Crush(What’s he like when he’s simpin’? Why do I use words like simpin’?) “Teasing is a sign of affection.”  He really isn’t hiding it in any way. If his s/o doesn’t see it they are truly blind. Someone please tell them.

D = Dream (What do they dream of doing with their s/o?)  His dream would probably be something rather grown up, like being able to spend time with his s/o and on projects he loves doing equally. Maybe even his s/o participating. If he can’t make that happen he would pay a lot of attention and put in a lot of effort for his s/o not feeling neglected in any way because he loves his work but he loves his s/o as well.

E = Experience (How experienced are they in terms of relationships?)  I always kind of assumed that he might not be the most experienced person when it comes to relationships but I can reassure that would be able to adapt to quickly. He is a very easygoing character and following the case his s/o is as well - it’s really a no-brainer.

F = Fights (What is it like to fight with them?)  Ten strikes me as a stoic but peace loving person. What that means is that he would rarely fight. He would try to avoid confrontations because he knows he is not good at it and tends to say hurtful things to get his point across. Even if he doesn’t mean them. He would always go and a apologise immediately after but things have been said.   If there is a disagreement he and his s/o would probably end up googling whatever the fight was about to check who is right.  If he was wrong, he will admit it bitterly and move past that topic or avoid it in the future. G = Gifts (What type of gifts do they give their s/o?)  Lots and loads of self-made crafted gifts. Art. Sneakers he scribbled on. Self-made jewellery. A collage phone case with the theatre tickets of the movies you went together or the first concert ticket he gave his s/o so they could see him perform. (With loads of memories of that very secretive high-touch event)

H = Hugs (Do they hug their s/o? How often?)  I don’t think he is a big hugger? But that might only be my opinion.

I = Intimacy (How romantic are they? Do they have problems with intimacy?)  Ten’s problem might be that he is way too confident. To the point where he suggests a couple of things without thinking about what his s/o might feel about it, because he doesn’t see how anyone could have a problem with it. Though once he noticed that he didn’t take their thoughts into consideration he would retreat quickly and apologise, asking for their opinion.  This would only happen very rarely. Ten still is a very supportive and caring person.

J = Jealous (Do they get jealous? How do they act when jealous?)  Oh boy does he get jealous. And he will let them know. It will turn into that sort of situation or maybe even a fight, where he wants his s/o to apologise to him but his s/o says they don’t have to apologise for having other friends besides him. K = Kiss (Are they a good kisser? What’s their kind of kiss?)  If he is a good kisser ... I am not able to tell. But in my opinion his favorite type of kiss would be a playful interruption when he has his s/o in his arms and they are telling him a story and he randomly interrupts them. All the time.

L = Love (When do they say they love you? How often do they say it? Do they prefer to say or show it?)  In the beginning Ten said it very seldomly and even as the relationship deepens and they grow fonder of each other he will find different ways of letting them know. Maybe there is this one Sticker he always send which eventually has the same meaning and weight as those three words. Just way more intimate and private since it has this lovely definition only for those lovebirds.

M = Marriage (Do they want to get married? If so, what kind of ceremony?)  In my opinion Ten doesn’t really has an urge to get married. If his s/o wants to he’s cool with it and as far as a ceremony goes I think he would prefer something unconventional and simple. Like a ceremony at a temple(?) or a field wedding maybe?

N = Night out (What type of dates do they like to go on? How often do they like to go on them?) Random dates.  Nights out with Ten could end up in a dreadful hangover the next morning or hours of stargazing. One never knows what they got themselves into.

O = Out of the ordinary (What’s something they don’t normally do with/for their s/o?)  He rarely fights. Disagree? Yes. Agree to disagree? Mostly. But rarely fight. P = Place (Where he first met them.)  At a gallery. They were looking at the same installation and at one point his s/o said something to themselves which randomly cracked him up. Just by then they noticed Ten and got into a conversation with him, that would last for the next 4 hours. Q = Questions (Do they ask their s/o their opinion on things? Do they share theirs?)  Doesn’t ask opinions. Kind of this If-you-don’t-like-it-don’t-buy-it Kind of person. the choices he males for himself are the ones has to deal with and if his s/o isn’t cool with it - they might not be the right match for him.  Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying he doesn’t care at all. He just thinks that his s/o should love them the way he is. Regardless of what tattoo he is getting or what horrible shorts he’s wearing.

R = Random (How spontaneous is their relationship? Do they do things on the spot or plan ahead?)  Ten strikes me as a very spontaneous person. Even if it’s his s/o’s Plan he will go with them and do what they’re up to. If this spontaneous idea should suddenly get canceled maybe due to weather or national holidays the two of them forgot about Ten will quickly find something else to do. S = Sleep (How do they sleep with their s/o?)  He Will. Steal. Blankets. T = Turn-Ons (What attracts him to people !NOT SEXUAL!)  The spark between him and his s/o. Understanding each other non verbally and maybe even laughing in sync. Watching a show and reacting the same way? He’s all in.

U = Unique (What makes them unique as a s/o?)  His shameless honesty. V = Vulnerable (How long until they can be vulnerable around their s/o? What are they like in this state?)  If Ten can’t be vulnerable around their s/o they wouldn’t be his s/o and there wouldn’t be a relationship to begin with. Being able to let his guard down is the foundation he is building every close relationship on. W = Weather (What would he do during a cloudy and rainy day?)  Lots of books. We all know he is an educated man. So if the weather is locking him inside his house, keeping him from going out - he will welcome this opportunity with open arms and read or maybe FaceTime his family? X = Xylophon (What does he think about their s/o’s taste in music? Is it different?)  He is, like Johnny, very open in terms of music. He would try everything once and maybe even include into his playlist what he likes.

Y = Yuck (Is there anything that might bother their s/o about him? Any flaws?)  Maybe he tends to be a horrible perfectionist from time to time, with a few things. Maybe he gets to tied up in work. Ten once said he needs a lot of work to function but I can see that his work-life-balance sometimes just isn’t as much in balance as one would assume.

Z = Zoo (Pets they would have)

Definitely a cat. Or 2. He would train them like dogs tho.

I am so glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like unnecessary character bashing in AUs where Mirio gets OfA instead (I say as someone who has two AUs where Mirio gets OfA and in both bad things happen to him, but he still tries his best and I can't fault him for that). I think FMW was definitely a partial influence for that one lol. So how would you do a OfA!Mirio thing?

Well, loaded ask there but

1- he has to refuse the call at first. Mirio shouldn't jump at the chance, because he knows he doesn't need it and others can do better by it. He's proud of his own work, so if you want him to have OfA, he's got to be convinced. Maybe know that others were offered and turned it down, maybe there was some other extenuating circumstances, but he refuses the call at first. I'd offer it to Nejire if not also Tamaki, at the very least.

2- I take out stations of canon. Mirio having OfA would mean All Might is teaching third years, not first years. If the villains attack UA, they'd attack a third year class, or they'd go for when Toshinori is in transit. Considering Shigaraki wanted that bit of drama and flare, he'd probably go for something with an audience, so a class or somewhere All Might was in the public. The rest of the school year would be very altered with no usj. We're going full Juxtapose.

3- Tamaki calls bs if Mirio tries to write it off as normal and just part of his quirk. This isn't just the otp talking, there's no way he wouldn't notice something very sus is up. So he gets to be the secret keeper. Nejire would know because it was offered to her too.

4- I already disregard the "oh OfA kills it's quirked hosts" in canon because there's such a useless sample size and makes no sense as Toshi's secret. I'm absolutely disregarding it here, and I sideeye all the other authors who wrote (non afo) quirked izuku with ofa who said they'd disregard it for him but not Mirio. It'd maybe be interesting as a plot point to discuss and disregard but meh. I'm not sure if I'd keep the extra quirks or if I'd just say you need to be quirkless to unlock them. Honestly I just kind see Mirio not using them most of the time. Maybe float if he's totally incapacitated otherwise, but like... I really think if he found out this extra quirk he didn't even want originally came with extra quirks he also doesn't want he'd just. Lock them in a mental box far away from use.

5- I keep the miribro. Maybe izuku has a quirk. Maybe he's quirkless. Maybe it's dfo. But regardless, they're friends!! I like how they play off each other and Izuku deserves nice things like that
