@steddielovemonth Day 2: Love is protection ❤️😉 @steddieas-shegoes

Mild smut under the cut

"Mmm, Eddie, fuck please," Steve moaned biting his lip to try and stay quiet, they hadn't exactly told Eddie's uncle yet. He'd been climbing through Eddie back window for weeks now, he almost ripped his jeans last night. It wasn't like they thought Wayne wouldn't accept them, he loved Steve and he knew Eddie was gay. But the fun of sneaking around hadn't quite worn off left, only Robin knew because movie nights were boring if they couldn't cuddle, plus Steve couldn't not tell his soulmate.

"Please what, baby, you need something?" Eddie responded teasingly. Steve would've glared at him if his fingers weren't dipping under Steve's waistband. "Lemme just grab a condom, sweetness." Robin liked to remind them about the news despite not wanting to know exactly where the condom would be going.

Eddie pulled open the bedside drawer, pulling out an empty box. "We finished that one this morning, did you not buy another one?"

Eddie looked at him confused, "But we never run out." Now it was Steve's turn at being confused. "Eddie, it's only a ten pack, of course we run out."

"But there's always condoms in here."

Steve's eyes widened, "There's always refills and you're not buying them?" He says slowly, connecting the dots faster than Eddie. "Eds, either the tooth fairy picked up a new hobby or your uncle has been refilling your fucking drawer," he explained flustered and definitely no longer in the mood.

Down the hall they could hear movement in the kitchen, Wayne clearly awake for dinner before work. They quickly got dressed and decided to face the music.

"Hey Wayne, hi Mr Clarke," Steve said sheepishly as if he'd been here the whole time and hadn't snuck in twenty minutes earlier.

"Steve, I've told you you can call me, Scott, Eds does."

"Right, Scott."

Eddie was looking so red looking at his uncle.

"Wayne?" He strangled out, "Have you been buying me condoms?"

"Protection is important, Eddie, your dear Robin keeps me updated."

"You've been talking about our sex life with Robin!"

Steve accepted the plate of food from Scott, sitting down to eat, might as well see this through now.

"Who did you think was buying them?"

"I thought it was a big box!"

"I'd put them on your bed, did they walk from the drawer?"

Steve had now started giggling, he loved his boyfriend but he could be oblivious when he wanted to be. Oh, he loved his boyfriend.

Eventually, Eddie calmed down enough to sit through dinner, and later, after they'd said good night to his uncles and were back in bed, Steve cuddled into his side.

"I love you, by the way, even if you think a condom fairy exists." Steve felt Eddie's grip tighten.

"Did you really tell me that you love me for the first time and say condom fairy in the same sentence?"

Steve laughed, "Yeah, seems like our kinda style."

"I love you too, Stevie, but I'm buying our condoms from now on."

Despite their family being a bit too involved in their extracurricular activities, they were both glad they had people that loved them enough to care.

@steddiemas Day 9 Prompt: Hanukkah Sentence Starters

2. How can you hate Dreidel?  

Tags: Established Relationship, Jewish Eddie Munson, Playing Dreidel, Hanukkah Fluff, Eddie Munson Is A Sore Loser

wc: 765 | Rating: G

Read on ao3 | ao3 collection

It’s rare for so many people to be gathered at the Munson house for something fun rather than the end of the world, but here they are. Steve, Robin, Dustin, even Wayne and Mr. Clarke. Tucked into the small living room and sprawled out on the floor. Limbs over limbs as they gather around the coffee table — well the former, the latter are curled up on the couch, observing.. A beautiful, hand-crafted wooden dreidel sits in the center surrounded by at least a pound and a half of gelt (another pound of gelt wrappers littering the floor). 

“Shouldn’t you be really good at this game?” Robin teases, watching the dreidel spin out of Eddie’s hands and off the table for the fourth time of the night. 

“You are the only one who's played it before,” Dustin adds, never one to turn down teasing Eddie. 

Eddie shoots them a glare that would rival Medusa if he were lucky enough to have her powers. Unfortunately, the only superpowers he has is his taste in music and his ability to land Steve as his boyfriend. 

“I fucking hate this game,” he groans. 

After scooping up the dreidel from where it landed with a soft thud on the carpet, he hands it to Steve. Despite never playing Dreidel a day in life, let alone any game for that matter (“I don’t know what to tell you, Eds. The Harrington’s were not family board game type of people,” Steve had told him one night which promptly broke Eddie’s heart and led to a marathon two-person game of Monopoly of all things), Steve is weirdly good at this. So good, he currently has a ridiculous mountain of gelt stacked in front of him like damn poker chips. 

“How can you hate dreidel?” Steve asks, tongue pocking out from his lips as he gets ready to spin. “It's so much fun!” 

“Oh yeah, it’s so fun.” Eddie rolls his eyes before watching as the dreidel carefully spins on the table, landing on the Gimel. Again. 

“It is!” Steve smiles, gathering the remaining gelt from the collective pot in the middle of the table. 

“Are you hustling us?” Dustin asks, arms crossed as Steve stacks his latest gelt pieces. He turns to Eddie, “He’s hustling us, right?” 

“Oh, now you want me on your side?” Eddie scoffs, shooing Dustin away. The kid has a point though. There’s no way this is just beginner’s luck. “Are you hustling us?” 

“Don’t be a sore loser,” Steve scoffs, rolling his eyes. “I’m winning fair and square.” 

“I think the dreidel is rigged.” 

“We’re all using the same one! If that were true, we’d all be winning,” Robin chimes in. 

“I don’t know, maybe Steve has like a magnet or something,”

“It’s a wooden dreidel!”

“See, this is why I hate this game,” Eddie huffs, throwing his hands in the air. 

“Don’t remember you sayin’ that last night when you kicked my ass,” Wayne chimes in, voice gruff but eyes full of mirth. “Listen to your boy and stop being a sore loser.” 

“Whose side are you on?” Eddie scoffs. If he didn’t know better, he’d be willing to bet his measly gelt winnings that Uncle Wayne liked Steve more than him. He knows the truth though, Wayne just loves giving him a hard time. He can’t say he blames him. 

“The only sides I do are mashed potatoes, you know that.” 

A collective groan rips through the room. Eddie the loudest as always, even when he nuzzles his face into the crook of Steve’s neck. “Scott is rubbing off on you in all the wrong ways.” 

“Hey,” Dustin shouts. “Don’t talk about my Lord like that.” 

“You people are all weird,” Robin laughs, reaching for the dreidel to resume playing. With a swift flick of her wrist, the dreidel spins and spins and spins before landing on 

Hey. “See, I told you it wasn’t rigged.” 

“Yeah, well, we’ll see when he goes again.” 

“Keep talking to me like that and he’s not going to kiss you for a week.” 

Eddie balks, immediately groveling for Steve’s forgiveness while Dustin and Robin look on with utter disgust. Wayne and Scott look on with all the fondness of an older couple who never got moments like this. 

“Alright, enough,” Dustin huffs, a minute later. “Are we going to keep playing or are you two going to make out now?”

“Well, now that you mention it…” Eddie trails off, looking at Steve with playful hunger. 

“Sorry, baby,” Steve says, pushing Eddie off his lap. “I have a game to win.”

[whetstonefires]

If Steve Rogers functions as the Superman of the bunch, the noble hero out of the past who inspires the others to greatness, what exactly is Bucky Barnes role, especially as Captain America himself?

I don't think that's a very meaningful analogy because like. The Justice League and the Avengers are very different teams, and despite their fairly similar ethics Clark and Steve are possibly even more different guys.

Captain America's is a solid general all-rounder, very mid-level in terms of actual power. Problems are frequently too big for him. Superman is stupid strong--every so often something shows up that's more powerful than he is, but he spends most of his life finessing his way through using as much force as he needs without overshooting and causing unacceptable collateral damage. He can move planets.

Psychologically, there's a vast gulf there.

The legacy of Krypton and the, the myth of America are roughly the same shape but are worn in completely opposite ways. No one on Earth knows or cares about Krypton except through Superman, and even he doesn't remember it--sometimes Kara does--so it's just pretty shapes and a deep solemnity.

America is messy and current and in-your-face, it was there before Steve and it'll probably outlive him and sometimes he gets so fed up with its foreign policy decisions or civil rights abuses he puts on a different outfit or goes and lives in a bunker.

'Superman' is a big idea that rests entirely on Kal-El as a person and as a force; 'Captain America' as a concept might be built on Steve and his supersoldier status but it's not dependent on him, they keep making a point of that.

Meanwhile they've made Jon Superman but struggle mightily with how to do that without just making him his dad. Of course they'd be struggling less if they'd let him grow up at a normal speed or were willing to lean into what a fucking bizarre person he ought to be after seven years in a cave with his dad's evil twin; basically Jon Kent doesn't have a character right now and they think he can hold up a title. But actually they know he can't that's why they brought Clark back. Superman is a disaster right now.

So anyway. In classic terms, Bucky was the counterpart of Jimmy Olsen. Then he died--I believe this was established in a retcon in the 60s when they brought Cap back, when Marvel was getting its feet under it as the grounded, realistic superhero comic company.

Then Bucky and Jason Todd both came back in 2005 which was kind of embarrassing for everyone imo. Just like. Did you have to do that at the same time you're making each other's cheap stunts look even more stuntlike.

Bucky's actually done better over the last 18 years than Jason tbh, rip--I mean in terms of interesting stories and development. Jason got his own book and all, he just also was subjected to terrible discontinuity of character and was primarily written by Scott Lobdell for like a decade. Terrible.

In terms of who he can be compared to relative to Superman when he's being Captain America, I. Uhhhhhh. No one in any useful way, I don't think. The obvious place to look is the Death of Superman/Reign of the Supermen period, but like.

Does Bucky have anything really in common with Cyborg Superman other than being a traumatized cyborg? No. Does he have anything in common with The Kid (later Kon-El)? You'd think there'd be something but there really isn't. Each point they have in common (i.e. dehumanizing lab background) they have diametrically opposed relationships to.

Steve's had duplicates and impersonators, I think the anti-commie guy he beat up that time is kind of like his Cyborg Superman equivalent? Except there's a whole political ideology thing going on there which is just not present with Superman. Anyway, not relevant to Bucky.

...you can I think draw some kind of relationship between Sam Wilson as Captain America and John Henry Irons as Steel, because on the writing end of things there's a definite flavor match, in terms of very deliberately creating a very cool black man and holding him up as an exemplar in a superhero story that otherwise has not got a lot of black people in major roles, and making him the best person to uphold the legacy of the Very Important Hero Guy. Like certain conventions are utilized the same in both instances. In certain ways that was two versions of the same story.

But also not really; Irons was very much pinch-hitting and what made him the best was that he was the one determined to do the work rather than claim the glamor; it's a lot more ceremonious and torch-passing with Wilson. A different deal. Although in some ways that's just because Marvel has hung onto and deliberately invested in the Falcon for decades.

DC Comics stop doing weird stuff with Clark's family and identity and reinvest in the supporting cast challenge. Where is Steel what's going on with him. Does he exist in this timeline.

[cat-brrr]

I'm throwing this here because I don't really have anyone to express it with, so

this is my headcanons for scott's family, as they literally have almost no screen time, yuh

I think the reason why Clark is basically so distant and just an asshole to his own son is that he wanted a "normal" kid, and ended up with a socially awkward diabetic and well, a little weird in general. What he probably blames Ellen for, and they have arguments about this, and that they have a strained relationship in the family.

and I don’t think that Clark’s attitude towards Scott is somehow justified that he is fat and has complexes, I think that, on the contrary, he has a big conceit about himself Although the game may have implied that Scott's mother is an alcoholic, in the basic cable she is shown to being a pretty good mother, she is interested in Scott's sugar level, listens and is happy for him when he said that he found a girl with the same disease as his. like she doesn't look like a mother who doesn't care about her child😭😭

and most likely the words about the fact that many children have diabetes and there is nothing funny about it scott just repeats what his mother told him, because it doesn’t seem to me that Clark would even try to talk to him when he said that kids from school ripping on him

maybe she has some problems but still being good mom for him

that is it

[stars-and-birds]

okay so i actually know very little about the x men but what roles are u thinking of for the party?

OKAY. you have awakened nerd esme. prepare urself. this will be long. sooooo long.

so for context the x men— created in 1963 by stan lee and jack kirby and fictionally brought together by professor x, a wheelchaired mutant with telepathic abilities, were/are mutants. mutants are a different species than humans and are as such treated terribly by them. they have “mutations” which give them powers and shit. they were basically created as parallels to real life bigotry and are hated by the general public (in the marvel verse everyone irl loves them. or i do. )

anyway, the original five were—

angel aka warren worthington III (yes that is his actual name) who had wings on his back. now they’re metal. it’s complicated but not important. he’s basically the token rich boy, blond hair, blue eyes, yeah. total knockout in canon too apparently. cyclops aka scott summers who had a red laser beam that continuously comes out of his eyes and as such he wears/wore a special visor made out of special ruby glass professor x found for him. quick fun fact he had so low self esteem and was so depressed professor x made him leader out of fear he would fucking kill himself. which is very dark. a bit stoic and pretty much an old man (he canonically watched seinfield). and he’s transmasc to ME. beast aka hank mccoy who is basically a genius and really strong and stuff. eventually he turns into a literal beast but i’m too sleep deprived to remember how that happened lolol marvel girl aka jean grey who was the token Girl™️ of the group and who possessed too many abilities to keep track of, and when she has them. she gets fucked up at some point in the chris claremont x men run (which is truly iconic) and becomes possessed by the phoenix force(specifically in issue #134, the issue will wanted in episode one) and becomes like evil and shit. the phoenix force is a cosmic evil being and she becomes *dark* phoenix and it’s a whole thing. also pour one fucking out for her imagine being surrounded by teenage boys and hormones most of whom have a crush on you and being able to read their minds. jean babe i’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through. and bobby drake aka iceman who has *gasp* ice powers. he’s a bit of the goofball of the group and can turn basically turn himself into ice which is explored more in more recent comics. he’s also been revealed as gay. one small step for mutants i suppose they’re all queer but nobody tell them.

wow that was long! sorry. anyway onto the actual au stuff. my original plan was to make each member of the part correspond to a o5 x men member, but since there are six i thought i’d add one more for max.

mike is cyclops! i think it fits in a special sort of way that i can’t really articulate since they have such different personalities. but just trust me.

el is jean, in the telepathic sense and being surrounded by boys most of the time sense. rip.

dustin is beast. tech savvy, smart, tested different bc of how he looks— it fits. so so well.

again the personalities may not fit on the surface but i think will is iceman. they’re both sort of softer than everyone else, and whole will is quieter it just makes sense to me haha.

uhh so i don’t actually think lucas would be warren… mayhaps i’m still considering… which means i wrote that whole description for basically nothing but i think it’s funny so i’m keeping it there. anyway i think lucas would be… idk. i’m still thinking it over but maybe gambit.

so for max @hellmo suggested rogue who would be great but i’m also still mulling it over. maybe kitty pryde! idk.

technically i think brenner would work as prof x but obviously that’s a no-go so it’s gonna be mr clarke which i like more as concept actually. again, different personalities but i think that’s okay, because the general roles fit. plus i jsut think that dynamic would be fun to explore more.

so sorry this was long and doesn’t really have much au it’s more me seeing x men and going brrr… haha. thanks for the ask tho!!! i enjoyed talking about them :]

Just Roommates

Jordan Parrish/Scott McCall Rating: T, Word Count: 2,213 Roommates, Friends to Lovers, Idiots in Love, Post-Canon 5 times people assume Scott and Parrish are dating and 1 time they finally are. Read on AO3.

1. Stiles

Scott arrives at the San Francisco International Airport in the middle of a particularly rough onslaught of rain. He’s thankful for the covering that hangs over the arrival gate where he’s waiting to be picked up. He hears the clanking of the rickety old jeep before he even sees it. When Stiles rounds the bend and pulls up to the curb, Scott greets him with a wide smile. Stiles hops out of the car and engulfs his best friend in a giant hug.

Apparently, the people who work airport security have no patience for physical affection or brotherly reunions. A man in a reflective yellow jacket walks past them and notifies the two men that they only have a minute to pull out before they’re ticketed and fined. With a glare, Stiles makes his way to the back of the jeep to open up the trunk. Scott throws his bags in and the two scramble into the car - heading out on the two hour drive to Beacon Hills.

“Man,” Stiles starts with a grin to match Scott’s own. “I can’t believe you’re home. And like… a grown up. With a doctorate.”

Scott blushes and scratches bashfully at the back of his neck. “Yeah, I’m excited to be home, too. Looking forward to getting settled in and seeing everyone again.”

“Settled in with Parrish, right?” Stiles wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. “You two sure are moving fast.”

“Huh?” Scott’s eyebrows knit together in confusion.

“Well, I know you guys have been hanging out or whatever, but living together is pretty serious. That’s like… a big step on the grand staircase of relationships.”

Scott shakes his head, “Dude, we’re not like together or anything… We just got to talking when I visited for Christmas. He was saying his rent was a little high. And there’s not really a place for me to move in with my mom and your dad. We’re just a couple of friends who both needed a roommate.”

Stiles looks skeptical but leaves it at that. They move on and talk for the rest of the car ride just like they had never spent any time apart.

---

2. Valerie

Scott and Parrish find a rhythm and quickly learn to live with each other. Parrish works either very early or very late hours at the station. Scott, who is now a partner at Deaton’s veterinary clinic, works regular hours Monday through Friday - only going in on the weekends for emergencies.

When Parrish works the night shift, Scott will usually swing by the station with dinner after he’s done at the clinic. One night, Scott arrives with egg rolls and lo mein from Parrish’s favorite Chinese restaurant.

“Oh my gosh, you’re the best! I love you!” Parrish exclaims as he rips open the bag. Scott smiles bashfully at Parrish’s very vocal appreciation, his eyes crinkling around the edges.

Deputy Clark sits one desk over as she sighs loudly and wistfully. Scott and Parrish turn to look at her.

“Wha-” Parrish asks with a mouth full of egg roll.

“Oh, nothing.” She hums, “I just wish I had a boyfriend who would bring me dinner at work.”

Parrish shakes his head, “Scott’s not my boyfriend, he’s just my roommate. A very considerate roommate, but that’s all. And Valerie, you’re a catch. I’m sure there are plenty of guys who are dying to be with you…”

Scott tunes out the conversation and Parrish misses the sad smile that graces the younger man’s face.

---

3. Melissa

Scott washes the dishes in the kitchen sink of his childhood home when Melissa comes up to him and kisses him on the side of his forehead. When he was younger he would have shrugged her off and wiped the nonexistent slobber from his forehead, but at 26 years old he doesn’t mind the show of motherly affection.

Scott’s mom takes a rag and starts drying dishes. They stand side by side in a companionable silence, washing dishes while Parrish takes a phone call from the station in the living room.

Melissa sets down the dish in her hands and turns to Scott. “I’m glad you felt comfortable bringing your boyfriend over for dinner. I know we’ve never had, you know, the talk. But -”

“Mom, please,” he implores, quieting her before Parrish could walk in and overhear.

“What?” Melissa crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow. “I’m just happy for you, that’s all.”

“There’s nothing to be happy about, though. Literally nothing happening here at all,” Scott whispers back at her.

She opens her mouth to respond, but at that moment Parrish walks into the kitchen. “Thank you so much for dinner, Mrs. Mccall. It was amazing. I’m sorry I have to do this, but apparently there’s a massive pileup on the highway and it’s all hands on deck. I have to go into work.”

“Oh, that’s alright.” Melissa smiles understandingly, “I have worked a few emergencies myself. I’m just glad you came.”

Melissa pulls Parrish in for a hug. Surprised, Parrish doesn’t quite know what to do with his arms. He awkwardly pats her on the back.

When he pulls away he turns to Scott, “Are you gonna be alright to get home? I feel bad, we should have taken separate cars.”

Scott shakes his head, “Don’t worry about it - we live about 5 blocks away. And I’m a pretty fast runner.”

Parrish grins at the younger man and bumps shoulders with him. “See you at home,” he says quietly.

Melissa watches the exchange, amused by how absolutely wrong her son could be.

4. Allison

Beep. Boop. Boop. Beep.

The noise comes from Scott’s laptop - from Skype, to be specific. Scott’s face splits into a grin when he sees that the call coming in is from Allison.

Scott minimizes the window he has open and accepts Allison’s call.

“Hey, Allison!” He cheerfully greets the brunette when she appears on the screen.

“Scott! I wasn’t sure you’d be up – it’s still early in Beacon Hills now, right?”

“Yeah, I like to get a jump start on the day – have some quiet time before I have to go into the office.”

Allison starts to apologize for interrupting, but he stops her. “I’m always happy to see you, though! What’s up? How’s France?”

“C’est magnifique!” she exclaims with a giggle. “Malia’s not picking up French at all, but I think she’s enjoying it. She’s enjoying me, at least.” Allison wiggles her eyebrows suggestively.

Scott blushes and covers his face. Thankfully, he’s saved from having to respond when Parrish comes out into their shared living room, frantically looking for something.

“You looking for your keys?” Scott asks.

“Yes, have you seen them?”

“You always leave them on the kitchen counter by the cereal. Go check there.”

Parrish does a little jog over to the kitchen and shakes his keys signifying that he found them. “You’re a lifesaver! I have my keys, wallet, and… sunglasses? Where are my sunglasses?”

Scott barks out a laugh and points at Jordan, “They’re on top of your head.”

Jordan shakes his head. “Of course.” He walks over and gives Scott’s shoulder a squeeze, “Thanks, Scott. See you tonight.”

Scott reaches up and briefly touches Jordan’s fingers with his own. “See you then.”

Parrish runs out, the door falling closed behind him. Scott’s eyes linger on the door a beat too long before turning his attention back to Allison on his screen.

“Oh, sorry, Allison! What were we talking about?”

“Nothing, nothing. Just my love life, but maybe we should be talking about yours.” She suggests along with her signature eyebrow raise.

“What love life? I’m too busy with work and friends for any of that right now.”

“Friends like Parrish?”

Scott looks down, bashful. “Yes, friends. Just friends.”

“You just seem so… domestic, though. And that smile says otherwise! You couldn’t wipe that grin off your face the whole time he was in the room. I know that head over heels Scott McCall grin!”

“Maybe, but it doesn’t matter. We’re roommates and we have a good thing going on here. I don’t want to jeopardize that.”

“Scott, his hand was on your shoulder. For a while. Trust me, your feelings are not one-sided.”

“Please, Allison? Just don’t – we’re just gonna be roommates and that’s all.” Scott says with a tone of finality. “Now, tell me what you guys have been up to in France. Nothing graphic, please!”

She laughs and complies with Scott’s request to move the conversation along, but she refuses to believe that Scott’s feelings aren’t reciprocated by Parrish. She’d heard from Stiles how unbearably in love and oblivious they were, but seeing it herself – even on the small laptop screen through Skype – she knew for sure. It was only a matter of time before they figured it out.

5. Sheriff

It’s Thanksgiving and the pack has gathered at the recently restored Hale house to celebrate. Scott wanders and takes in the view of his pack - his family - all enjoying a moment of peace together. Jackson, Kira, Isaac, and Boyd play pickup lacrosse in the yard while Derek serves as referee. Danny, Lydia, and Allison drink wine on the front porch and catch up. Stiles and Melissa work together to put the finishing touches on the meal in the kitchen.

Scott stops short of the den when he overhears Jordan talking to the Sheriff. The two men had been half-watching the game (neither of their teams were playing) and chatting.

The Sheriff starts, “You know, Parrish, I’ve always thought of Scott as a son. And I’ve grown to think of you the same way over the past few years. I’m really glad the two of you have found each other.”

“Sheriff, sir -” Parrish tries.

“It’s Noah. Please, we’re not in the office.” The Sheriff interrupts.

“Noah, look. I think Scott’s a great friend and roommate. But that’s all we are. We’re not dating or anything.”

Scott lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding and tunes out the rest of their conversation. He leans against the wall, taking a second to compose himself. But with a house this full, that second was all he got.

Malia walks up and knocks Scott’s shoulder with her own. “You smell sad. It’s a weird smell on you.”

Scott paints a smile back on his face. “Nah, I’m good.” He throws an arm over Malia’s shoulders and steers her towards the kitchen. “Let’s go sneak some turkey off the plate. It drives Stiles and my mom crazy, it’s a timeless Thanksgiving tradition!”

+1

The following Saturday, Jordan has the day off, so he and Scott are home at the same time. Scott knocks on his bedroom door. Jordan looks up from the book he’s reading and smiles.

“Hey, Scott!”

“Hey, Jordan.” Scott begins, unusually somber. “Can we talk?”

Jordan sits up more in his bed. “Sure, man. What’s up?”

Scott takes a couple steps into the room and sits on the edge of the bed - as far away from Jordan as physically possible while still being on the same bed.

“I’ve been thinking it over and I think I need to move out.” Scott manages to get out, never looking Jordan in the eyes.

Shocked, Jordan opens and closes his mouth. Not sure what to say, at first. “I mean, I guess if you feel like you need to. But why?”

Scott runs his hands over his face, “Don’t make me say it, Jordan.”

“Say what?”

“You have to know how I feel about you. It’s getting embarrassing, dude.”

“How you feel about me?” Jordan repeats back at him.

“I bring you dinner at the station almost every night. I spend all of my time with you when we’re not working. I regularly bring you over to my mom’s house for dinner. I feel like it should be pretty clear.”

“You have feelings for me?”

“Yes, Jordan! I’m stupidly in love with you and I know you don’t feel the same way because you keep laughing and telling people we’re not together. If you’re not into me, that’s fine, but it’s just getting to be too much for me. That’s why I need to move out.”

Jordan sits with his mouth agape for a few moments before launching forward and kissing Scott square on the lips.

“Don’t move out,” is all Jordan says before bringing his lips back to Scott’s.

Scott is still for several moments, surprised by the kiss. Finally, he kisses back and Jordan can feel the younger man’s lips turn up in a smile against his.

Scott pulls back, a goofy smile on his face, and says, “Why haven’t we been doing this for months?”

Jordan shakes his head. “I thought I was the one with the one-sided feelings. I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want to ruin our living situation or make you uncomfortable.”

“Me, too. We’re so dumb.”

“So dumb!” Parrish says with a chuckle. “I promise I’ll tell you all the time about my feelings for you.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah.” He punctuates every sentence with a kiss along Scott’s jaw. “How much I like you.” Kiss. “How cute you are.” Kiss. “How hot you are.” Kiss.

“Sounds good to me.”

“How does a date sound to you? Tonight?”

“Perfect.”

9 people to get to know better

Thanks for the tag, @cleucas I did half of this on my phone then got distracted and tumblr ate it so I had to switch to laptop for that sweet, sweet auto-save.

I also have the kind of ADHD/possible AuDHD where any time someone asks me what I like, I forget everything I've ever enjoyed soooo I will probably come up with better answers in a day and frantically edit hahaha help.

1. Three ships: Rylan all day every day right now. Ummm I'm actually not a big 'shipper so when one grabs me it REALLY grabs me! Starting to dip a toe into Steddie from Stranger Things (Steeeeve Harringtonnnn) even though it makes me sad because I don't think they're bringing sweet baby Eddie back, and, uh, three way animated tie between Bee and Deckard from Bee and Puppycat, Bubbline from Adventure Time, and Rose Quartz/Greg Universe from Steven Universe.

Honorable mention to my first doomed ship which was Clark and Lana from Smallville. Just never got on board with Lois.

(I almost put the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria in here because I'm an asshole, but fuck Columbus!)

2. First ever ship: Maybe Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose? He fast! She cannot catch up! Kawaii pathos! (Although I shipped him with Mina the Mongoose in the Archie comics as a kid RIP to those.) Or Meg Murry and Calvin O'Keefe from A Wrinkle in Time.

3. Last song: Bigger Than Love - Oh Wonder (asdlfkjalskdfj)

4. Last film: I watched some awful streaming romcom with my mom the other day and an equally awful Hallmark Christmas movie. Last film I actually enjoyed was probably His House. Scary and devastatingly beautiful!

5. Currently reading: Jane Austen's Emma on audiobook as I fall asleep and my own writing out loud to see if the dialogue is awkward in a bad way or in a good way.

6. Currently watching: Ghosts (UK - I’ve already seen the US one but I like this better so far). Research/I just like ghosts. About to start House of Usher and possibly Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

7. Currently consuming: one thousand Coke Zeros but only because I'm out of Dr. Pepper Zero my beloved.

8. Currently craving: Dr. Pepper Zero my beloved.

I just re-watched season 1 of Stranger Things and here's the takeaway for me: whoever I was when I watched it in 2016 is not the girl you see before you. I have a wayyyy different interpretation of characters.

It may be a hindsight bias kind of thing. Like, I know the characters for their season 4 selves, so I have that lens on when re-watching BUT:

I judged Jonathan way too harshly. Yes, absolutely, it was creepy to take a photo of Nancy through the window. Yes, it was wrong. However, he took photos of everything. He was all messed up with grief and trauma. He knew it was a mistake and eventually took responsibility for that. Jonathan was (and is) the best brother. And son. I feel bad for whatever shit I talked about him lmao. Jonathan - I sincerely apologise. I forgot the nail baseball bat was a Jonathan invention too. Boy doesn't get enough credit.

I also misjudged Steve. Again - yes, he was an asshole when he broke the camera, but tbh, if I was full of teenage hormones and I found out someone took creepy pics I'd probably lose it at them too. The cinema graffiti absolutely was fucked, as was the alleyway fight. Like Jonathan, Steve realised he was in the wrong and definitely tried to make up for it. Importantly, he proactively tried to make up for. He went back and cleaned the graffiti. He went to Jonathan's to apologise. He was supportive of Nancy replacing the camera (headcanon: he paid for it). He's been a romantic from the get-go, which I love for him.

I can't believe I slept on how fucking rad Nancy has been from the start. Like. Ugh. I could have been in love with her from the start but no?

I'm also very disappointed in myself for forgetting Benny (RIP). Wish we knew you for longer, Benny. You're a good dude.

Scott Clarke... Do you think his shoulders hurt? From holding the whole show on them?

Hopper is less cool than I remember. Excited to see the character growth there.

All the 'season 1 Mike would want to fight season 4 Mike' are so true. He. jumped. off. that. cliff.

Other interesting things:

Will singing Should I Stay or Should I Go? in the upside down... did it keep him a little safer? Music has always been a grounding element...

It's so weird watching it all given what we know about how Vecna and the Hawkins Lab massacre etc. etc.

I wish every child had a mother like Joyce. I would die for Joyce.

And I'm onto season 2. (Edit: season 2 thoughts here.)

This has been a Stranger Things Rhi-watch (lol).

[nancydrewwouldnever]

What are 3 films you highly recommend watching?

How can I choose only three films, Anon! So, in chronological order, ten films:

• It Happened One Night (1934) – An heiress runs away from her overbearing father after her ill-considered elopement, thus beginning one of the greatest rom-coms of all time. Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable are magic together, and the script is witty and modern.

• The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947) – My favorite love story in all of Hollywood history. Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison are *chef’s kiss*

• Throne of Blood (1957) – Some will probably side-eye me choosing this as my Kurosawa recommendation instead of Seven Samurai. But Kurosawa’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth is probably one of the most visually stunning films ever lensed.

• Vertigo (1958) – Has anyone not seen Hitchcock’s masterpiece? See it before you die, lol.

• La Dolce Vita (1960) – Because how can I not have Fellini’s most famous film on this list?

• The Lion in Winter (1968) – How can you not want to watch Katharine Hepburn and Peter O’Toole at the top of their powers as actors trying to metaphorically rip one anothers' throats out? Plus, it was the first film for both Timothy Dalton and Anthony Hopkins. A modern take on the most dysfunctional family of the Middle Ages, the Plantagenets.

• Chinatown (1974) – One of those gritty neo-noirs of the ‘70s that have become total classics. Jack Nicholson in one of his best early roles. Note: some fairly heavy themes in this movie, so it may be triggering for some.

• The Duellists (1977) – My literal favorite Ridley Scott film ever, and it was his first film. Basically, two Napoleonic soldiers spend sixteen years trying to kill one another in duels, from some stupid point of honor misunderstanding. Probably the only time you will watch a film and think Harvey Keitel is sexy.

• A Room with a View (1985) – Basically, I want to tell you to watch every Merchant Ivory film ever made. But, if you don’t have time for that, watch this one. The story of a trip to Florence which reshapes the life of several English travelers. Includes a strange pond bathing scene with a lot of full frontal male nudity. (Like, I never wanted to see Simon Callow’s dick, but I was 14 when I first saw this movie and I did.)

• Babette’s Feast (1987) – A beautifully lyrical and introspective film which won the Best Foreign Film Oscar in 1987. It also premiered at Cannes. Based on an Isak Dinesen short story, it tells the story of two elderly Danish sisters who take in a homeless French woman in the 19th century. The culmination of the film is a dinner with the most amazing food you will ever see on film.

So sad I can't include so many others!

[creelarke]

How would Scott react to learning about what Henry did? Precisely after he became Vecna. I know there’re theories about Edward Creel and all that but in case of Henry actually being Vecna, how would Scotf react to that?

I know in this other ask, I may have made it sound like my headcanon for Scott was that “Scott was willing to overlook the crimes Vecna committed for old times’ sake”, which is not true. so I think I’m gonna use this ask to go deeper into the details about what I think would happen under the circumstances. since this wasn’t the main focus of that last ask, so I didn’t want to get carried away there.

and lastly before we get into it, in case anyone who’s not familiar with Creelarke stumbles upon this, this is about the headcanon slash theory that Henry Creel and Scott Clarke were childhood best friends who may or may not have developed feelings for each other before Henry got taken away by Doctor Brenner. if it’s not your cup of tea, you can stop reading now.

if you’re still here, let’s get into it.

Scott would absolutely, undoubtedly be horrified by what Henry did. Scott loved his students like they were his own children. so no, there was no way Scott would condone this shit.

he would be angry. but beyond that, Scott would be deeply hurt because the one responsible for all these deaths was Henry. his Henry. Scott would have a very difficult time trying to process it all, what went wrong, what’d happened to Henry that it turned him into a monster who hurt innocent children like this. Scott might be in denial for a while. basically Scott would be completely lost, angry and deeply hurt. and he would feel betrayed, too.

does this mean Scott hates Henry and sees him as a monster now? honestly, I think Scott would want to hate Henry and to be able to see him as a monster. he would want to erase all of the memories they shared together during their youth from his head, and he wished he really wished Henry were dead. or that someone would kill him. but what angered Scott the most is that Scott knew he couldn’t hate Henry even if he wanted to.

this doesn’t mean Scott doesn’t really love his students - or the kids at the lab - who were hurt by Henry, either. I think it will be very, very complicated. because Scott loves those kids, and he loves Henry. and it’s Henry who hurt those kids. and Scott hates himself, he’s even disgusted at himself, for not being able to really hate Henry.

there would be so many bitter, hurtful words throwing back and forth between Scott and Henry (now as Vecna), so many tears, and basically it wouldn’t be a ‘wholesome reunion’ but an ugly, angsty one with hundreds of feelings involved; Scott feeling like he might choke on his sob upon learning Henry is alive, and feeling like his heart was being ripped out of his chest because it’s Henry who did all of these horrible things.

but once Scott found out what really happened to Henry; what Henry’s mom planned on doing to him that eventually drove Henry into snapping and lashing out that day, what Doctor Brenner and the lab did to him, I think there’s a possibility that Scott would blame himself more. because while it’s in no way Scott’s fault, Scott would think that “if he went with his instinct that told him Henry was having a problem at home, and did something to help remove Henry from that situation, maybe all of this could’ve been prevented and Henry wouldn’t have done any of these. if he only has done more”. and it’s bad because Scott would be hurting himself more by blaming himself.

but eventually, after so many tears, Scott and Henry would calm down, and they would, you know, talk. I see Scott sitting down next to a very-emotionally-defeated Henry / Vecna and reluctantly placing a hand on his shoulder, and Scott would be like “we cannot fix the past, but we can make sure the future is better. it’s never too late to change,” (cliche, I know, but still). Scott knows Henry wasn’t born evil. somehow he knows his Henry is still in there beneath all these pain and all these rage.

in the end it would be entirely up to Henry whether or not he would accept Scott’s help. and you know what, I believe Henry would.

this still doesn’t mean they’re now living happily ever after together without any consequences whatsoever. but whatever comeuppance is in store for Henry, Scott would be there by Henry’s side. he wouldn’t abandon Henry now. since Scott felt like he abandoned Henry during the time Henry was locked in Hawkins lab. again, it’s not Scott’s fault, Scott couldn’t have known about what Brenner did to Henry. but Scott would probably blame himself still.

this doesn’t mean Scott forgets about the crimes Henry committed. it doesn’t mean he condones the path Henry chose (before Henry accepted Scott’s help) and it doesn’t mean he’s betrayed those kids, that were hurt by Henry, by choosing to forgive and help Henry heal. it means Henry is Scott’s best friend, and it means Scott understands, after lots of pain and struggles, that what was done to Henry was as messed up as what Henry did to others, and that the real monster was never Henry, no matter which form Henry takes.

it will be a long road for the both of them, and it won’t be easy, but at least they have each other now.

[m00nz-writes]

I'm actively working on a project based around GTA and X-Men because nobody can or will stop me.

I've been thinking about what storyline to go with in order to bring more severity to Olivia's plot in this fic, and I thought that since Olivia is Laura's legal guardian in this fic, then maybe there could be something there.

(Welcome to yappersville y'all. Also, spoilers for X-2 United and X-Men The Last Stand just in case + some really depressing topics as losing a child 😀)

But this fic will involve a somewhat similar storyline to X-2 and Last Stand, involving Jean's supposed death, Scott's death, Charles's death, and Jean's actual death by Olivia's hand instead of Logan's because in Liv's storyline, there is no Logan/Jean romance.

This is important because Charles is Olivia's adoptive father and even though in this fic she runs away at 15 due to not feeling as though she fit in well with the other mutants and the whole "hero" shtick, she still loves him and views him as her father. And as such, she views Jean and Scott as older siblings. So watching her adoptive father die in a very depressing manner and then having to kill her surrogate sister by her own hand to save her from what she's capable of already breaks Olivia down so much. Then her childhood best friend, who she had distanced herself from to protect her, bleeds out in her arms. So that's just the cherry on the trauma and angst cake.

The original plan was something akin to the Clarke and Madi scene in The 100 where Olivia finds Laura (who's healing isn't anywhere near as strong as Liv's and Logan's, nor is she as invulnerable to severe damage due to having the adamantium only on her claws) dead and she has to come to terms with that on her own. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how cruel it truly was. Because Liv has lost everything, leaving her in a horrific place where she's so fucked up and traumatized from losing almost everyone she loves in such a short span of time, then ripping the "sister" she actually views more so as a daughter away from her is just too much.

As much sense as it would make for something as grim as the storyline of Grand Theft Auto 3 (cause let's be real, a lot of that story is so fucked), I just can't do that to Olivia. Liv cannot handle another heartbreak, because with every death of someone she loves, she loses a piece of her heart. Losing her baby would destroy her, and I cannot do that to her no matter how it may work well with the story full of driving sex workers around, turning humans into dog food, murdering countless people, and committing some of the craziest crimes known to man... I just can't take someones baby away.

Especially not Olivia's because she would quite literally be the new threat to all of humanity. I don't care how much I may like angst, I can't hurt Olivia like that because she could never recover. Her recovering from having Jean die by her own hand - or rather claws - will take her years to do, as it always does because Jean was the one who found her after the lab Olivia was held hostage in got destroyed. Jean is her everything, but so is Laura.

Anyways, just wanted to reveal the fact that I'm actively working on a GTA/X-Men crossiver fic where everything takes place in Liberty City (or rather a hybrid of GTA 3 LC and GTA 4 LC because I like both versions of LC 🙂) and Olivia maybe, possibly, definitely has a relationship with Claude that is very fun and cute and a lil scary because despite her very tiny 5'2" stature, she is a government weapon designed to kill and not just a tiny lil haha goofy claw girl.
