The outsiders, Aftermath AU (no deaths)
Tumblr media
(Thanks to my friend @peachyponyboyy whom I collaborated w/for this and probably will collaborate with for any future works like this)
Basically what would happen after the book/movie, also if johhny and dally didn’t die
Ponyboy: Gets a scholarship into UCLA for literature, When he's finished with college he gets his masters degree and becomes a professor at UCLA.
Sodapop + Steve: (NOT THE 'NAM!!!) Soda and Steve get together, both working as mechanics at the DX, they live in the old curtis brothers house when everyone left, the gang only coming back on holidays to visit steve and soda. Soda would later propose to Steve at a nice restaurant, inviting the rest of the gang to see. (Spoiler alert: the entire gang bawled. Absolutely WEEPED, happy tears ofc) they couldn’t get married legally since it was the 60s but they had a nice little ceremony somewhere nice for the gang. They would later adopt a little red head after finding her on the streets.
Darry: Would move out to give Soda and Steve space. Living in the house across from the two, would settle with a wife and kids, Having a special room just for Ponyboy when he visits from college, His family would always cook the turkey during thanksgiving. Would definitely remodel the house.
Dally: would still be a delinquent, fs. Would sleep in his car if he's not already crashing at soda and Steve's place. He appears every now and then, and definitely joined some weird gang with like 13-15 year olds. NOT aloud near darry's kids without adult supervision, too much of a bad influence. He also says he doesn’t like kids so he would probably end up punching them
Johnny: all the way dating Ponyboy, got into UCLA by dumb luck. Nobody even knows how he got in. He kinda just did, def got into a psychology major so he could help other people like the help he needed when he was a kid/teen. Ponyboy and Johnny live in a decent sized apartment near the university. Definitely don't have kids but have a Golden retriever (goldie, named after the poem nothing gold can stay) and a black cat (windrixville, after the town they hid out at.)
Two-Bit: Still has an obsession with Mickey Mouse, probably lives in an RV parked in the vacant lot near the gang's house. Adopts a mouse he found off the street, probably has diseases but it's ok. Named it Mickey, now searching for his Minnie. Probably sells tobacco to kids and teens out of his RV, somehow hasn't gotten caught yet.

auri [modern! au]
[masterlist]
i love auri, so here are some headcanons + a little fanart that a tried to make about how i would imagine her<3
she is so sweet, i can't-
she can climb walls like she came out of the AC franchise
i don't HC her as a wrestler, but she would be sooo good at it if she ever tried
she loves doing picnics! so whenever the gang stops for eating they do that outside, in the shadow of some big tree
i think in the begining of her stay in skyrim, she worked at a tree school! she got fired after the boss wanted to cut some trees and sell them as firewood, and she shot some arrows up in the boss' arsehole
she only uses e-books or paper-free books
she has a small tree or plant that she brings with herself when travelling (although, she mostly keeps it in the RV, so nothing can harm it)
i think she would like crystals!! she would wear crystal braclets and necklaces
when something is at an extremly high shelf (like, high even for kaidan) she is the one that climbs up there
she is a chicken nuggets girly
i think mosquitos wouldn't bite her, ever. she just naturally smells like nature, which makes skyrim's mosquitos think that she is one of the plants.
okay, so she doesn't use anything plant-based right? so i gathered some materials that she would wear: leather, cashmere, wool, silk & furs. they are also very good for skyrim's colder climate!!
she would like horror movies. especially the cannibal, slasher or just something-not-human eating-humans ones.
she has the strongest immune system because she eats meat raw too
and she never gets salmonella ⬆️
whenever she argues with someone online she would put a flower emoji at the ends of her messages 🌸

Fanfiction updates and excerpts 04.01.24
Guess who's back after 40 days of fast! I've tried to come up with an April's Fools joke, but nope, seems my brain is reeling from going from very little internet and then a lot of internet at once. I am currently knee deep in Fear & Hunger and Silent Hill walkthroughs, and am in a nice mood despite a tension headache.
Thank you to those who have supported my work in these weeks, it means a lot, especially during dopamine withdrawal 💙
Here is the list with the works I am focusing on in the coming month(s). So much Micah lol ... And blanket warning for NSFW.
Main works:
Salt.
Colm/Micah, sugar daddy precanon AU, dark content. Currently at part 9, in Arc 2, soon to go over in arc 3. Ohh this SOB of a fic ... Not because it's hard to write, quite the contrary, it just grows and grows. I'm having fun with it though. Part 10 should be up this weekend :) It's going to be like 80% smut. Here is an except from it:
"Last round. Your fourth, yeah? Remember to keep it in."
"I can't," Micah said like an amateur ventriloquist, cum tricking out of his mouth.
"You wished me good luck," Colm said, faking disappointment. He dug his nails in where shaved skin ended and unshaven skin began.
Micah visibly steeled himself; he seemed to expect another harsh handjob. He ceased breathing when Colm bent down between his legs, face hovering above his poor, half-erect cock. 
"Tell me no," he said slowly, his grin opening, mouth filling with spit.
Micah could only stare.
xxx
The Damned and the Redeemed
A motorcycle gang AU set around 1990-2010, like in GTA 4: The Lost and the Damned, with the RDR2 main cast as bikers and their horses as smaller pets. While out riding, Arthur gets tasked with recovering Micah, who has been missing from the clubhouse for a few days. /// I am currently sulking because it's kind of hard to recreate Fast & Furious in text form, but about half of this is written.
"Easy, boy. Easy. It's just me," he said as he put his helmet down on, and carefully opened the door. "You remember me, don't you?"
About a third of the orange lamps inside the RV worked, but he saw the shadow of the Pitbull, the muscles breathing under thin black and white fur, like a miniature motorcycle no less vicious in its ability to break bones. The dog stood still, quieter than the police radio, sounding like ghosts due to the RV being far underground. If Arthur hadn't had experience with Baylock, spending time in the clubhouse kennel, he might've mauled him through the MC protection. 
"I'm just here to check up on Micah. Easy, easy," Arthur kept on repeating, keeping his voice friendly, moving into a crouch. He removed his glove and presented his hand.
Baylock did not move to sniff it.
xxx
Cata Doxa
Set in the same AU as TDatR, as a kind of epilogue. My attempt at a realistic, redeemed!Micah/Arthur. The motorcycle gang has disbanded, and Arthur and Micah live together in an old safehouse with a dog named the Duchess and a cat named Patrick (Bateman). Part 1-2 is filthy domestic Morbell smut, but ends on a bittersweet note. Part 3, which is unwritten, is hurt/comfort, and includes the cookies actually getting baked in a nonsexual sense, more Duchess & Patrick, and a talk on how it is like to grow older when one did not expect to survive. OLD MAN YAOI ALL THE WAY --
"You stirring?"
Arthur tried. There was something laughably pathetic about those small jerks of the wooden spoon against the wet dough and bowl. He laughed at himself, his shaking hands. "Shit," he said.
Micah pulled away, and the air was cold on Arthur's ass. Biting his lip to stifle a needy sound, he looked over his shoulder. Micah was still on his knees, looking up with a lewd grimace. "Shit? I sure hope not."
Arthur frowned, then did an intense eye roll. "Are you four years old?"
"Point blank range," Micah said, giggling, "But I guess," he drew out the words, savoring them, "I like to live dangerously …"
When Arthur rolled his eyes again, they stayed up, vanishing beneath his lids. The mouth had returned with a vengeance, thumb fucking into him while Micah licked around it. It slid deeper, and Arthur nearly dropped the bowl.
xxx
Slug
Same universe as TDatR, but is standalone, and far darker. NONCON & VIOLENCE. Four parts, O'Driscoll Gang/Micah, Colm's brother/Micah, Colm/Micah. Includes foursome, duct tape, spider gags, drugs, vibrators, gang rape, forced feminization, circle jerk, bukkake, boot worship, overstimulation, watersports, mindfuck ...
Micah is caught when robbing a O'Driscoll Gang hideout, disguised as a derelict gas station. What follows is six hours of horror, varying in intensity and depravity. He tries to manipulate the power structures within the gang in order to survive - when he's not screaming, that is.
Micah reached for his guns, only to be pulled backwards until he was flat. Leather fingertips dug into the hair roots and the swollen flesh beneath as more men swarmed him. They held his arms and legs down using thick gloves and thicker boots, applying pressure until he stilled. He swore his bones creaked under their combined weight. He looked up like he was stargazing among neat hills, and not in a ditch surrounded by helmets and with the stars hidden by city smog. 
"Let me," said a second voice from above him, and another face came into view, so pretty it was near angelic, covered in a halo of reddish blonde corkscrew curls. Upside down, he looked to be smiling, friendly if not for the baseball bat hovering between them, covered in rusty nails. "Let me kill the little thief."
"Not yet. Bosses are near. Wanted to have a look."
xxx
And that's what I'm focusing on! But other fics might appear sporadically, like my Morbell fic Anhedonia did.
Hope everyone is having an alright Easter, if they celebrate, or otherwise just having a good time :)
Of all the seasons I dislike spring the most, so sending some extra love to those going through a tough time, April and May can be cruel.

Willow gang road trip
In this Au, Willow adopted Elora and Madmartigan is her godfather. But because of a tiff between the two, she hasnt seen him or his family almost her whole life.
Until! She meets up with Kit at College and after a series of wild stories, they become super close friends. At which point they realize they are sort of sisters. They devise a plan to Parent Trap their parents. It works! Sorsha and Mads and Willow all hug and make up and everything is right in the world.
Which leads us to the Road Trip™!
The group finds out about this really cool party thats going to take place up in Washington in the woods. (Something similar to burning man.) And not wanting to waste money on plane tickets, they decide to borrow Willow's RV and drive the whole way. (Im imagining the start out near Virginia? Maybe they are DC kids, I dunno. Im from Missouri. Anyways...)
Which now leads us to roles!
Graydon is, of course, the main driver. He takes turns with Boorman and Scorpia, but everyone knows he drives the best so they let him do it. (This does mean he misses out on most shenanigans and games that happen in the RV.) He brought his pet salamander, Kenneth, who sits up front with him. But sometimes he runs around and gets into mischief.
Boorman and Scorpia are the quote on quote "adults" of the group. But they keep trying to make detours. "Whats the point of a road trip if you dont stop to see things?" They will both argue. To be fair, they somehow always find the coolest side of the road attractions.
Kit and Jade are NAUSEATINGLY in love. They had finally confessed their feelings for each other and not its everyones problem. (No one actually minds, they just like to tease the new love birds.)
Elora and Graydon are in advanced courses, even tho its summer break. And spend a lot of time studying together. They are both taking one of Willow's college courses and thats how they met. (Willow is also a college professor, I should mention.) They dont know their in love with each other yet. And find lots of awkward ways to avoid each other. Elora sticking with her studying and Graydon focusing on driving. And if he accidentally swerves too hard because he accidentally drifted into the shoulder because he was staring at Elora in the rear view mirror. Well, no one has to know. He was avoiding hitting a squirrel or a snake. Boorman figures out whats up after the 3rd so called "snake".
Anyways! This is an idea for a fic I have! I think a roadtrip has a lot of potential for some cool scenes. But, what do yall think? Would you read this? Also, if I wrote it, should I also include the backstory part? Like, include how they all met? Maybe a two part fic series?

Lost Boys - Stranger Things Musings
Saw someone (my apologies, I cannot remember who) post about a Lost Boys AU with Stranger Things characters, and that got me thinking. How about a Lost Boys/Stranger Things crossover?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Lost Boys came out in 87, so let's just go with that's the year it's set. So a year and a bit after the debacle of Hawkins Spring 86, everyone from s4 is alive (yes including Eddie) and recovered, Vecna is no more, and Steve cooks ups the wild idea of getting the hell out of dodge for a summer vacation, all the kids, him, Eddie, Robin, Argyle, Jonathan and Nancy.
They're end destination is a couple of days in Disneyland in California, but they have decided to drive having rented 2 RVs to see lots of fun places on the way. Unfortunately, they get stuck in Santa Carla when one of the RVs breaks down.
Cue Eddie and Steve bumping into some decidedly weird dudes (David and the gang) on the boardwalk where everyone has gone to blow off some steam as they wait for the RV to be repaired. Maybe having been brought back from the dead after the Upside Down, Eddie pings on their radar, so they are interested.
Something, something, Steve ends up half vamped like Michael. Sue me, if I can torture Steve, I will 😝.
All the Hawkins lot are like, "Vampires - seriously?!" And join forces with the Santa Carla crowd. Sam is gonna love Max and Lucas, and Dustin and Mike would so go toe to toe with the Frog Brothers over vampire lore, not to mention the brains Erica will bring to the table! Jon and Argyle will probably miss most of it, having started talking weed with the Frog's parents. Nancy will be all over figuring out who the head vampire is. And Eddie and Robin will be worrying about Steve, who is trying very hard not to bite people and commiserating about doomed love with Michael (the fact he got Eddie back being a ray of hope in the shit storm).
And oh, boy, is the head vampire in for a shock when he comes up against El and a bunch of teens who are so done with this life or death shit.
I mean, there's also the option of Grandpa being so weird because he was into shady government stuff in his earlier life and doesn't even bat an eye at a girl who can move stuff with her mind.
I will probably never write this, but it is now stuck in my brain, so I thought I would share my pain.

TruthShriekers AU, The Road Trip, Part 1
A train, a taxi and a few bus rides later, and Dib is the first one to reach Amity Park.  He had to ask for directions a few times, but eventually, he found his way to one Wes Weston’s house, and Dib is thrilled!  Since his hometown is the next stop, he’s traveling light: enough clothes for the week, his laptop, camera and as much ghost hunting gear as he could cram into the thing.  And the readings he’s already collecting are promising.
But the most exciting thing?  The few times he’s explained to people that he’s here for ghost hunting, no one has called him crazy for believing in ghosts.  Sure, they’ve called him crazy for going after them, and none of them are fans of ghost hunters, but everyone in this town acknowledges the supernatural exists!
Wes is slightly more concerned by the unescorted child who showed up on his doorstep alone.  He’d figured his dad or something would have given him a ride.  Amity Park is close to Dib’s home, but it’s not that close; it’s at least a 3-4 hour drive away and in a different state.  And how is this little guy such a know-it-all?  As soon as he walked through the door, he started explaining ghost hunting to Wes, a lot of it wrong, like he doesn’t live in the most haunted city in America.  The trip hasn’t even started yet, and this brat is insufferable.
Thankfully, the kid couldn’t monologue for long before there’s a knock at the door, and finally, April O’Neil is here!  This is the person he was actually excited to meet.  April has been giving Wes a ton of advice to improve his photography and journalism ever since she went to college, and they’re going to work together this summer to help develop his portfolio by making a bit of a “mockumentary” of their summer trip.
But April is a lot more… apologetic than expected.  She’s already exasperated (and she hasn’t even dealt with Dib yet) while she apologizes because her dum-dum brothers went ahead and invited themselves onto their trip but she promises they’re going to pay their own way and don’t freak out because they look kind of different, but we don’t have time for that right now!  Because there’s no way.  There’s no freaking way!  It’s been modified, but there’s nothing else it could possibly be.
Is that the Jupiter Jim Moon buggy parked in his driveway?!!
And, in fact, it is!
But there’s not much time to be surprised by the Moon Buggy, as 4 guys in full hazmat suits with quick Ghost Buster stickers slapped on pop out, and they’re… green?  It’s hard to tell, but Wes is 90% sure these guys are green behind the tinted face shields.  Which, honestly, not unusual for Amity Park, but they’re not usually alive when they look like that.  But it’s not stopping the one in the purple jumpsuit from gushing over the modifications he’s made to what he’s calling the Turtle Tank.
Dib is slack jawed as 4 green, clearly not human, creatures pop out of the Moon Buggy while April apologizes over and over again for her brothers inviting themselves onto their trip.
“April, are you an alien?”
“What?  No.”
“Were you adopted by aliens?”
“No, they’re not aliens.  None of us are aliens.  My brothers are just a little… different.”
Dib’s not convinced, but at the very least, these guys are a lot friendlier than Zim, and Raph, Donnie, Leo and Mikey are introduced.  The original plan had been to tour FentonWorks on the first day and then explore the town, but…
Everyone suddenly has to clear the street as what looks like an armored RV zooms down the road while a guy in an orange jumpsuit screams out the window and a lady in blue fires lasers at something streaking by overhead.
Leo: And you were worried we’d stand out.
Yeah… the Fenton’s are busy today, so no tour.  The gang will have to start their ghost hunting adventure by hitting the pavement, which is fine with Wes.  He’s excited to show off the shoulder mount camera he got for his 16th birthday, but as usual, if it’s not a Fenton Camera, every picture and recording of a ghost comes out horribly.
After some trial, some error, and poking at some ecto-samples he probably shouldn’t have, Donnie figures out a filter for the camera (and his goggles), and the ghosts come through crystal clear.  It throws off the color, but Mikey and Wes work on the color and white balance enough to look almost normal, and they save the system setting for whenever the filter is applied.  With Wes armed with his camera, April with a mic, and the boys as the tech crew, it’s time to hit the streets!
It’s not long before they run into their first ghost.  Wes had thought they’d film from a distance, but April and Dib jump right in and start asking questions, and in spite of Wes’s trepidations, it goes surprisingly well.  The ghosts they talk to are known troublemakers, but not only are they not attacking, but they actually seem to be enjoying the attention. 
Over the next few days, April gets a performance from Ember, an interview with Technus, lunch for the whole group from the Lunch Lady (her “uncle?” is a lunch lady, too?), and chased down the Box Ghost. 
Wes thought things would go south with Kitty and Johnny when he started hitting on April, but 4 green brothers willing to throw hands with a ghost is apparently enough to get Johnny to stop and placate Kitty.
And it turns out ghosts are more than willing to talk about their deaths.  In graphic detail.  It’s more than a little disturbing, but no one was expecting Dib to just come out and ask, “How did you die?”  At least none of them ended up dead.
But the neatest thing has been watching the barriers come down between everyone.  All of them had been so convinced they were the only ones who were really dealing with the supernatural.  They had come up with things to shield the others from the true horrors they dealt with every day.  Except as soon as they see their first ghost, they can tell.  They all know.  And it’s kinda freeing.
None of them need to hide anymore.  Wes can freely rant about all the insane ghost stuff that’s happened in his hometown.  The Turtles can reveal themselves; Wes and Dib are currently fascinated by their turtle-ness and the fact that April was basically adopted by cryptids.  Dib still has the least credibility; he’s a 12-year-old claiming to have gone to space multiple times, but they are at least willing to admit he’s probably dealt with some stuff.
This also means Wes is probably going to have to admit that Dib is right at some point, a fact he’s not happy about with their longstanding online feud…
And while Leo is still firmly in denial that ghosts are real (seriously?), meeting real ghosts broke down the biggest barriers, and they’ve relaxed enough to start showing their real personalities to each other.  Wes and Dib end up just as snarky with each other in person as they are online.  Mikey is enjoying getting to play the role of big brother with Dib, who’s just an unhinged little gremlin that really wants to dissect one of the blob ghosts (no one will let him).  Raph’s big brother instincts are in full force as he tries to keep the peace between everyone, but April is firmly in charge, etc.
The week goes on, but there’s one ghost April still hasn’t managed to interview: Danny Phantom.  She’s gotten plenty of opinions on the local hero/menace, but he’s yet to make an appearance.
Danny, for his part, has been keeping his distance and observing, trying to figure out what kind of ghost hunters these guys are.  And so far, he’s been pleasantly surprised.  Most “professional” ghost hunters that come to Amity Park are either woefully incompetent or dangerously aggressive.  Or both. 
But these guys have taken the time to actually study the ghosts.  They take the time to ask questions.  They treat the sentient ghosts like people, and they take pictures and readings from the non-sentient ones.  It’s been kinda cute watching the big guy in red walk around with armloads of blog ghosts.  Danny thought they’d be a lot more trouble with Wes guiding the group, but so far, so good.
But, of course, Danny’s luck has to run out, and as soon as he says that bit out loud, Skulker decides it’s the perfect time for some hunting, and the fight is a rough one.
For April and the Turtles, sounds of explosions are never a good sign, and the whole group rushes to see what’s going on, and find the elusive ghost boy, Danny Phantom, in action.  Most of the civilians have already cleared out, and Donnie and Raph are keeping the rest of the damage to a minimum, so April decides to go full reporter while Wes shoots, and they get their first ghost fight on camera.
It's… intense, but not the worst any of them have seen.  They’ve had to duck out of the way a few times, but they’re getting some good shots, and it seems like Phantom is mostly winning.  Until Skulker slams him into the wall behind them.  Danny, being Danny, forgets to phase, and hits the wall.  Hard.  He slides down, rings flash out from his middle, and where Phantom was, a human boy now sits.
Wes is feeling so vindicated!  He’s been telling everyone Danny is Phantom for years.  He just transformed in front witnesses!  He caught it on tape!  He can finally- hey!?
April and Donnie take the camera from him and delete Phantom’s transformation.  You don’t expose another hero’s secret identity. 
Raph steps between Danny and Skulker.  He’s so excited to meet a real life superhero!  But first things first, “Mad Dogs, time to help out a fellow hero.  LIKE A BOSS!”
Disguises are doffed, and yes, they’ve still been wearing those stupid exterminator outfits the whole trip because, according to Leo, it “fit the vibe,” and the Mad Dogs start fighting, even April.  It goes about as well as it usually does when they fight Ghost Bear until someone finally hits him with a mystic attack (I seriously don’t know why none of them tried it in the show), and it turns out mystic stuff works on ghost stuff. 
Skulker is chased off, and then the GAV screeches to a stop in front of the group.  Disguises are very, very quickly shoved back on (there may be a helmet on backwards) as the Dr.s Fenton jump out looking for Phantom.  But, uh, nothing to see here!  Yep, yep, he, uh, rushed off… that way?  And indeed, when the group look behind them, Danny is nowhere to be seen.  Wes uses his chance to finally, finally get the tour at Fenton Works rescheduled for the next day, and they all turn in to edit what they got and share their findings with Dipper over FaceTime.
Dib and Wes also need to go nuts, because that was so cool!  Watching the Mad Dogs was like watching a real life Lou Jitsu movie!  This is also where they find out Dib has never seen a Lou Jitsu movie in his life, which is just criminal.
The morning of their tour and first interview comes, and everyone is ready to go except HOLD EVERYTHING!  The Turtles aren’t about to let April go interview the Fenton’s in her regular clothes.  That was fine for field reporter April, but she can’t dress like that if she wants to be a top journalist.  Dress for the job you want and all that jazz, and what do you mean you didn’t pack any nice clothes?!  What were you expecting to wear  when we get to Membrane Labs?!  She needs a makeover, stat!
Luckily, they’re able to find a petite yellow suit top and matching pencil skirt at the local thrift store (one of the many, many things Pam tried to get Sam to wear).  Mikey and Leo do her hair and makeup, and now they’re ready for the tour.
As they pull up, the Fenton’s greet them outside.  They’re always so excited to see young people interested in pursuing paranormal research.  The tour starts upstairs in the Ops Center, and other than the emergency ham being expired, everything seems pretty impressive.  The Fenton’s go into detail on all the features of the Ops Center, answer any engineering questions the group have, let Wes record and photograph, etc.
Then they continue their way downstairs to tour the lab.  They see Danny in passing on the second story, and Raph less than subtly waves.  Fortunately for Danny, his parents are pretty oblivious and miss the wave.  Unfortunately, they do spot Danny, and he gets dragged into helping with the tour, and the group follows Jack and Maddie down into the basement lab.
It.  Is.  Horrendous.  It’s one thing to leave parts and pieces out while you’re building something; even Donnie is occasionally guilty of that.  He can also understand the amount of stuff held together by string and duct tape.  He knows how difficult it can be to get parts and pieces, but he his lab pristine!  This is just a mess.  There’s dirty beakers and tools, cross contamination abounds, and the floor is covered in spilled samples and ectoplasm with nary a wet floor sign in sight.  Even Mikey is offended; he keeps a clean kitchen.
And why is there a torture chamber?!!
To make it even worse, down in the lab is where the Fentons start going into their beliefs about ghosts.  They’re evil.  They’re just manifestations of ectoplasmic energy and post-human consciousness.  They aren’t actually capable of rational thought or feelings.  Things that go against everything the group has observed in the last few days.  Even Dib has to disagree with what they’re saying.
Everyone can see that Danny is visibly uncomfortable.  And then it gets worse; they start talking about how they want to catch and dissect the ghost boy.
Yeah… Wes is starting to get that outing Danny to the town and his parents might not be the best idea.
But April is a good reporter, and she wants to be a great reporter.  The best reporter.  Her original question list goes out the window and she starts pushing back against everything the Fentons are saying, but they just brush it off in their usual good natured way.  After all, they’re just kids.  They don’t know any better.
Well, that interview was… disappointing to say the least.  Danny catches them outside and- Is that the Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy?!!  Wait, no, he came out here for a reason!  He wanted to thank them for standing up for him.  Most ghost hunters shoot first and only ask questions on the autopsy table.
April convinces Danny to give her the much desired interview.  No questions he’s not comfortable with, nothing about his identity.  He agrees, and the next day, he meets them with Sam and Tucker in tow as his “bodyguards” for his interview.  It includes a lot of snark from Wes, who is still vindicated! but April gets all her questions answered.
And the interview just sort of turns into a conversation.  Danny and the Mad Dogs had never met other heroes before, and they talk about the troubles that come with it.  The time they were both seen as menaces, and Danny uses the opportunity to set the record straight, even if no one will ever hear it.  He talks about how much he’s had to learn on his own, about the mistakes he’d made, and after a lot of rambling, ends by infodumping about everything space.
Eventually, the road trip comes up in conversation.  It sounds interesting, and more importantly, Sam and Tucker know just how much Danny needs the break.  It’ll be fine.  Ghost attacks have gown down since they were 14; no, the town won’t fall apart without you; yes, they are absolutely insisting he go.  Val can handle things.
There might have also been mention of aliens and a spaceship.
And so, Sam, Tucker and Danny invite themselves onto their trip.  Now, they just have to convince their parents.  It’s not hard to overshadow Sam and Tucker’s parents.  As for his own parents, as soon as they hear “paranormal,” Jack and Maddie are more than thrilled to encourage the kids and start kitting them out with monitoring equipment, ecto weapons, extra camping gear, dried and canned food, and… why not take the GAV?  They’re going on a cross-country road trip, and it doubles as the Fenton Family RV.  It’ll help defend them, and they can take so many readings!
Vlad and other neighbors may or may not have also encouraged them to get the GAV out of town.  Jack is a known menace on the roads in that thing.
They do insist on Jazz accompanying them this time.  It’s her last summer before she leaves for college; it’ll be good for her to spend some time with family.
Jazz, who had just wanted to go to college early and maybe enroll in a lot of summer courses, finds herself dragged into… she’s not exactly sure what, but Danny owes her big time.  (Seriously, what did I just get roped into?)
They pack up themselves and the GAV (runs on ecto-energy, so it also doesn’t need gas) and Sam straps her kayak to the top.  Look, she saw April’s kayak on the turtle tank, and if they’re going kayaking, then she’s bringing hers, too. 
This is also where it’s revealed to the group that Sam is loaded.  And Sam agreeing to help bankroll the trip means that everyone can also expect to eat real food on the trip, not just ramen and peanut butter sandwiches.  The group is a lot more willing to let them crash the trip if it frees up most of their budget for fun things and souvenirs.  Welcome aboard!
And that evening, they leave Amity Park for Dib’s hometown in Ohio.

Writing asks: 23 & 30 please! <3
23. Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?
oh i love dialogue. love it!!! but i also enjoy writing descriptions, though not of the characters themselves. i know one of my grand weaknesses is character descriptions and if i ever branch out beyond fanfiction i am so completely fucked in that department. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO DESCRIBE THEIR LOOKS?? CAN'T U JUST SEE INTO MY BRAIN WITHOUT ME HAVING TO DO IT????
30. Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn’t.
oh. oh god. my fic graveyard is plentiful and terrible. there's the hockey au that started as a 1d fic and then got shelved and then reimagined as a jatp fic and then shelved once again. it will never see the light of day. there was also the single dad au for jatp that i plotted 90% of and was very excited about but unfortunately my inspo for jatp up and vanished very quickly after because hellcheer took over my entire life. so far i haven't added any hellcheer fics to my graveyard but there are quite a few in my plot folder that i've had since summer 2022 so ... we'll see.
wait i lied i started writing a hellcheer au where The Gang is driving an rv to like myrtle beach for spring break and eddie finds out right before they leave that chrissy and jason broke up so this is his chance to Make A Move and he spends 90% of the fic fucking it up :) i was gonna write it for one of the year of the otp prompts last year but then pivoted at the last minute and now it just sits unfinished and will probably stay that way :(

RED VELVET and A secret romance with their gang’s rival
Tumblr media
➛ Note: Obviously, gang!au. These scenes are super random and not exactly as long as others, but I had this in my drafts for a while now, didn’t feel like completely discarding the work I’ve already done.
Tumblr media
IRENE
Joohyun’s body moves on its own, her mind still asleep. Otherwise she wouldn’t have (or maybe she would) turned and reached for the other side of the bed. The lack of a body disturbs her awake.
She’s not home, though the bedroom is far from alien to her. The contents of shelves, the number of stains on the rug, the location of small holes in the walls - she already knows them by heart. Something she’s proud of, but shouldn’t share with others.
Lonely, perhaps scared of the word’s meaning, she calls for you. Usually, you’re fast to drop everything for her. Whatever it may be, nothing seems as important as Joohyun. This morning you’re not running like crazy to learn her demands. A repeat of your name makes no difference.
An electric shock of nervousness makes her get up after long hesitation. This is a safe haven, somewhere the outside world can’t reach, and yet her mind comes up with only the worst of possibilities. Nude feet stomp down the wooden panels. The floor feels cold against her heels, but Joohyun doesn’t show any sign of discomfort. She makes a stop by her jeans, lazily discarded the previous day. Fingers tighten around the object pulled out of a pocket. The black surface gleams under a ray of sunshine. Its owner has enough experience to always expect the unexpected.
Close to the wall, she slides down the corridor. Quiet and eagle-eyed, she’s ready to notice the abnormalities. Her ears pick up the sound of ragged breathing first. Then she notices a silhouette reflecting in the tiles of a corridor.
“Why are you holding a gun?” You ask her, genuinely confused.
Joohyun scoffs, partially relieved, partially annoyed. It’s 7 a.m. and you’re opening a jar of pickles instead of sleeping in. She drops the weapon on a countertop. The sound that comes from the meeting of hard surfaces makes you cringe.
“I thought something happened. Why are you up and not in bed?” The frown turns into a pout as Joohyun hugs one of your arms.
“I just felt like eating some pickles-” Without another word, she grabs the jar you are struggling to get opened, and easily does what you couldn’t. “Here, open. Now let’s go back to bed!”
“I love it when you unload frustration on objects.”
“Yes, yes. I’m aware.” She doesn’t hand you back the jar. “Pickles will come later. Now, we’re going back to bed. You’ve got a lot of making up to do.”
You may have abandoned the snacks, but something about Joohyun’s strong pulling and a sweet smile tells you there are better things to do.
Tumblr media
SEULGI
The night sky is dotted with stars, as if they were its pride - jewels decorating collarbones. Something poets have always described as dark, being light. Although you want to share that thought aloud, you don’t. Not because of embarrassment. Seulgi would never laugh at something you’re serious about. Your choice is led by the dreamy atmosphere of your evening.
The two of you are lying on a blanket, somewhere in the middle of a forest. An hour long ride away from the city. A spot you feel like asking Seulgi about.
In your peripheral vision you can see her face turned towards you. There’s a smile you must’ve somehow caused.
“What?” She hums, hand sneaking under yours. “You’re staring.”
“Can’t I?” Fingers tighten around each other for a moment, before you push yourself up to lean over her.
Seulgi’s smile is still adoring, though now it’s sunken in shy undertones. She’s like that with you only. Otherwise, everyone knows her as the scary right hand woman. Her boss would’ve shot you in the face, had they known how close you were. It’s the sweet adrenaline of forbidden romance for you. Now, smiling, your fingers curl around loose locks of her dark hair.
“So, how many people have you taken on a date here?”
“Believe it or not, you’re the first one.” She brings her hands up to play with laces hanging from your hoodie.
“Then how did you find out about this place?”
“You know, drove by. Was followed, so I hid here and figured its a pretty lovely place.” One of the laces curls around her finger, just like a strand of her hair around yours.
“And you thought of me? Aww, you’re a real romantic.”
She laughs shyly, embarrassed by the conversation. You don’t intend on playing around though. A kiss is enough to silence her laughter. Seulgi hums in enjoyment, her face now covered by the shadow of your silhouette. As you press yourself closer to her, the back of her gun, always pinned to the belt, pokes the inside of your thigh. It’s a strong sensation. One that’s bound to burst a bubble. Yes, you’re used to it, but for some reason it’s not the same as holding the weapon in your two hands.
“What’s wrong?” Seulgi asks, feeling that something’s not right.
“Nothing, just got lost in thoughts for a moment here.” But instead of leaning forward once more, you return to lying on the back.
Tumblr media
WENDY
You’re smiling widely in anticipation. The door opens suddenly, but it’s not able to startle you.
“Are you crazy?!” Her voice drips with pure anger, but her eyes scream relief.
Without any second thoughts, you push her inside and cage her little silhouette in a tight embrace. Seungwan does a poor attempt at escaping. She’s aware it’s of no use. She needs the comforting gesture as much as you do.
“You could’ve at least texted me first.”
“I did, but you’ve never answered me.”
When you finally let her go, she pulls out a phone and then gives you a look of pure disbelief. You might’ve written the message on your way to her apartment, but in your defence, Seungwan is the type of person that always has her phone close.
“What if someone was here? What if others saw you? Do you ever stop for a moment to think?” She scoffs at your ridiculing smile.
“Oh come on. What’s life without a little bit of excitement?”
“Umm, a good life?” Seungwan states as a matter of fact, which makes you wanna laugh in her face. But not to spite her. Rather to show her how sweet her whole being seems to you.
Yes, you’re the blunt one in whatever your relationship is. You’re the one to be touchy, clingy, also the one to piss her off with how “little” you care about being caught.
“Babe, you really need to chill. I’ve got it all covered. Of course, unless someone decides to pay you sudden visit, but even if, then that’s not on me!”
Her feet don’t follow you inside the living room. Instead, she’s watching you make yourself comfortable from the hallway. Expression of annoyance still present, it’s only a matter of time before Seungwan joins you.
“Stop being grumpy and come to me! I need a hug!”
She secures the lock first, but eventually does as predicted - joins your side on the couch. There’s still doubt on her face which you’re not at all worried about. These moments with Seungwan are the only way for you to experience normality. It tastes of the woman’s favorite toothpaste, feels like a fluffy rug, sounds like scoffs and occasional laughter.
“The things I do for you.” There’s still anger in her gaze, though much gentler than the one that welcomed you few minutes earlier.
Tumblr media
JOY
It lasts a moment. In just a matter of few innocent seconds, she turns from a blonde in over-sized clothes to the Sooyoung you know, but maybe that shouldn’t be said. The passenger side in your ride quickly goes from free to occupied, and you don’t even hesitate before pressing accelerator. A taxi driver you’ve pretty much almost hit, honks. Your ear registers a string of curses thrown at a “senseless fuck”. Unimportant - the window closes.
“So, I suppose it went well?”
Sooyoung is redoing her lips in the mirror. Bright red is stark on the canvas of fair complexion. The corner visible from your point of view turns upwards.
“It did. Your boss is rampaging tonight.”
“Eh.” Indifferent, you wave the image of the closest future away. “When is he not.”
Soonyoung finishes her makeup with a loud pop of lips. She’s no longer the cold Mrs. invisible you saw earlier. Now, she’s the version you’re the most familiar with - the happy-go-lucky girl that happens to be doing shady business on the side.
“Where are we going?” She leans over the armrest to stare at you. Her chin rests on a hand, like a child does when watching movies. “Or wait, don’t tell me! I want it to be a surprise!”
“In a few minutes you’ll change your mind again.” Without missing a beat (this time), you change lanes.
“Yeah, probably. And you won’t tell me either way.”
“That’s just how well we know one another.” Your smiles meet.
Soonyoung returns to her previous position, but leaves her arm behind. An open palm catches your attention. Fingers wiggle in anticipation. Amused, but in no position to reject them, you give in. Soonyoung’s grip is a strong one, full of need and comfort.
The car zooms through the city sunken in the remnants of a sunset. Pedestrians walk by, unaware that someone who should be behind bars is passing them. Same with the drivers. The thought makes your heart flutter from excitement. An overpowering feeling of having the world at your mercy causes you to put more pressure on accelerator. Soonyoung’s thumb caresses the side of your hand. Her red lips are a stable point on the blurry and constantly changing background.
Tumblr media
YERI
Funny how the two of you live for the adrenaline.
“Isn’t it a bit risky?” You ask, swiping the corner of her lips with your thumb.
Yerim’s eyes follow, as you put the crimson colored tip in your own mouth. It humors her, and drives crazy at the same time.
“You love risky.” Neither of you address the tension, nor are oblivious to it.
Music may be blasting above you, but right now, here, by the bar, it’s just you two, a pair of bodies pressing at each other’s side without doing much more. Truth be told, the crowd is so busy with itself, you don’t know why you’re too hesitant to follow their lead, and join them with Yerim.
Your eyes meet again. These rendezvous that the two of you have every now and then are a rare occasion. Therefore, you always make an effort to take everything about the notorious Kim Yerim in, starting from the depth of her gaze, ending at the height of her heels. She’s a masterpiece, and your worst (best) rival, but not tonight. Tonight, she’s your alluring date.
Her head moves a little bit closer, pink lips opening to speak.
“Are you sure you don’t want to dance?” Yerim’s brows rise in a manner that could seem innocent to anyone else. But you know what she means, and you want to tease her a bit before eventually giving in.
“Why? Am I boring you with my wine?” Acting indifferent to her hand on your thigh, you grab a glass and sip on it.
She smirks knowingly, but sighs anyway. It’s all just an act to keep you going. Something of a roleplay - faking that you’re not putty in each other’s hands. The truth is much different. Had Yerim’s tone been stricter, you would have been the one to lead her onto dancefloor.
“What’s wrong with it?” Before Yerim gets a chance to respond, she makes a face of surprise, and pulls out her phone.
You don’t have to ask to get a gist of the situation. It’s business. As always.
Yerim meets your gaze with evident sadness. But that’s your line of work, and you’re not the one to keep someone from doing what they have to do.
“Just go.” You smile bitterly. “Before I try to steal your job.”
The kiss she gives you is too short, and too weak for your liking.
“I’ll text you later.”

ok this au is super fresh but I'm dumping what I have cause I like the vibes
THE AU WHERE EVERYONE JUST RUNS AWAY FROM THEIR SUCKY PARENTS
it starts with just Jay Cole and Zane running away. They knew each other for quite awhile all being kids of affluent people in ninjago city. But they all hate their dads ( and i think none of them have moms too, oof) so they decide to just run away from it all. Jay steals and pawn a bunch of his mom's old jewelry (she left both Cliff and jay when Jay was a kid, but Cliff never got over her) as well as taking a bunch of his savings, and he buys like an rv, which he cole and zane just drive off in
they end up picking up Kai and Nya later, either they already ran away and they got picked up by the three as they hitchhiked away. Or the trio make a pit stop in their village and seeing the two miserable teens, convince them to come with them. And they are all on the road, and they dont gel super well at first being in a tight enclosed space on the road for hours doesn't help. But they get along (and there might be lava here cause i love them)
they have odd adventures, the rv breaks down, they gotta hunker down during a storm, do odd jobs to make money, and maybe solve a mystery or two. And in all that ruckus they find Lloyd, a runaway kid that they immediately take with them once he tells them he ran way from darkly's. But once they pick up Lloyd they notice an old man is at every stop in a town. (technically they saw him earlier but once they picked up lloyd they started noticing him more)
and now along with running away from their sucky parents, they are also running away from a weird old man and destiny.
and thats what i got rn, but i do want them to kinda have the vibes of the scooby gang. Just a bunch of weird teens causing chaos and solving a mystery or two, with a lil drama, and found family

…reader and her friends Steve, Ransom, Ari, Chris and Jake who are mystery/ghost hunters?
Sometimes even though they requested 2 rooms, the motel is overbooked and *gasp* there’s only one bed? But they’re all just super platonic best friends right? Nothing will happen. 👀 …right?
Or…it’s been a few days since they’ve been able to afford to have a single-bed room at a hotel (Ransom’s currently arguing with Harlan so he’s cut off at the moment and Ari and reader hustle pool/flirt to get gas/hotel fare) and if Jake just NEEDS to take care of his boner right then and there in the van so he can focus on the next case, well…reader’s always wanted to give road head. And it’s now or never (except it then happens…a lot) 🤷🏼‍♀️
WHOOPS IT HORNY HOURS IM SORRY.
OMG WAIT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO WRITE A ROADTRIP AU, I LITERALLY HAVE NOTES/PLOTPOINTS/THE RV NAME SAVED IN A DOC !! 
characters i have in mind: ari, jake, steve. now.. perhaps ransom is the rich guy who constantly pops up wherever the group is staying bc he has a massive crush on the reader, and always tries to woo her with expensive and shiny things !! but no, our reader is into the little knick knacks, collecting bottle caps, postcards and ‘just the normal things, fancy things don’t do it for me’ but ransom still tries anyway. (You didn’t hear it from me, but they meet a rugged biker with a buzzcut who joins their little group !!)
reader is the number one flirt, responsible for their free gas, free food, free rooms and ehem... ari does it too, but isn't as good ☺️ plus people are intimidated by him. she hooks up with people on the road, going on dates and being 'the one that got away' for all those poor souls. Steve is the certified mechanic and bartender, he’ll usually pick up a job at a bar if they’re staying long. jake is the sweetest fella on the planet, ofc a tech head but he’s also the cook !! Perhaps ari does a bunch of stuff, usually working at the most obscure places who are desperate enough to hire some guy (florist, music shop, bakery). 
I’d write this with an endgame, meaning it would be centred on two characters getting together in the end, no gang bangs here. Me thinks ari would be perfect for a friends-to-lovers/idiots in love. Similar to erotica but a completely different storyline, I’d add a tad of ex’s-to-lovers bc yes, reader and ari went on a few dates, they still do, but it just never works out. Definitely blue balling the rest of the friends. The vibes would be more like a photo album, lots of Polaroids, watching the sunrise/sunset, sharing beds in crappy motels, using fake names for fun in different cities, and just about a group of friends who are each other’s safe place. 
now this is not the horny thot any of you were expecting but a road trip au is on my bucket list !! i must look away from all my wips... while adding this one to the never-ending list

The more the semester went on, the busier you and Wonwoo became. This meant less time spent with each other. It wasn’t like you didn’t see each other at all, in fact you had a lot of shared classes with your best friend. It was more of less time having fun and more time focused on not fucking up since the both of you were in your last year. Well, more of you trying not to fuck up while Wonwoo maintained his perfect grades. You loved learning, you really do. Not to mention the love you have for reading, history, and world issues. That was one of the reasons that attracted Wonwoo to you anyway but for the love of God, studying, memorizing and all of those formal shit were really not your thing. You only really do well in the subjects you really liked because you would actually put in a decent amount of effort for it. If not, getting average was fine to you. Wonwoo has never judged you for doing so, he understood your way of thinking.
While you were busy studying in the campus library around midnight, you suddenly felt a dull pounding pain forming on both sides of your head.  You tried to shrug it off as you continued to revise. Mid terms were not too far away and you figured a head start would be good. Wonwoo would be so proud of me you thought because truth be told, you didn’t usually do this. Wonwoo was out drinking with friends since it was a Friday night. At first he declined and wanted to burn the midnight oil with you but you encouraged him to go out and let loose since he has been working really hard the past week. It wasn’t a surprise that you were laughed at when the others heard you were going to study instead of drinking with them. But you were adamant on trying to get decent grades at least before leaving university for good. After writing down a few notes, the dull aching pain only got worse that it was hard to ignore.
You reached for the front pocket of your backpack but frowned upon realizing you were out of Paracatemols. You forgot to restock them, You cursed under your breath and dreaded the thought of going to a 24 hours mart just to get them. Without hesitation, you took your phone to call Wonwoo but you immediately stopped in your tracks before hitting the call button. You definitely didn’t want to rain on his parade since he worked so hard. Wonwoo deserved a good time. You realized you depended on him so much that calling him for help was such a natural thing to do. You felt bad for being so selfish, for thinking of yourself. So you decided to call Yeri instead but when you heard the booming music and loud male voices on the other line, you realized she was also drinking with Wonwoo and the gang.
“Yes babe~ “ Yeri greeted. From the way she slurred her words, you could tell she had a little too much of alcohol.
“Yeri, are you drunk?”
“Juuuust a little tipsy” she replied in a sing song voice. You were about to scold her since she had a paper to sit for the next day when you heard the phone being passed to someone else. Her boyfriend Minghao called our your name softly.
“Sorry about Yeri, I’ll take care of her”
“But her test, Hao!” you whisper shouted as you rubbed your temples.
“She said she has already studied the materials. Now what made you call? Are you ok?” There was a hint of worry in his voice as he tried calming his tipsy girlfriend. You knew how whiny Yeri gets when she was drunk so you understood his situation.
“I’m having a terrible headache right now and I was hoping Yeri could help me get some Paracatemols” you sighed. “Wonwoo is just across the table, I’ll pass the phone to him” but before you could protest, Wonwoo was already on the other line. “Are you okay? Do you need me?” hearing your best friend’s voice immediately calmed you down and you wished he was right beside you at that moment. “I don’t wanna disturb your fun, Woo” you replied softly, trying to mask the pain from him. “You don’t sound good. I’ll go over to library now if you need me to” Wonwoo was firm and adamant. You’ve always found his decisiveness extremely attractive but of course like many other things, you never admitted them to him.
“It’s just a headache, I’ll manage it”
“You don’t sound very convincing”
“Just go ahead and have fun”
“How can I have fun when I know you’re not feeling well?”
You were silent, slightly stunned at his words. Even though he has helped you many times, it still never ceased to amaze you what an amazing friend he was. “I’ll go over now, hang tight and I’ll be there in no time” he reassured before ending the call. You laid your head on the table as you waited for Wonwoo. You tried to take a short nap but the pain was too unbearable and only made the wait felt like forever. Fortunately, Wonwoo was already by your side before you knew it, arms immediately around you as he pulled down the hoodie that was covering your head to reveal your face. “You look really sick. Let’s get you home, I’ll buy the meds” he whispered his words like a bullet train. You pulled his arm and took a closer look at his face. “Jeon Wonwoo, are you wearing contacts?!” you gasped. “This is not important right now, hop on my back” his voice was dominant as he crouched in front of you. You gently wrapped your arms around his neck as he hoisted you up. “What would I do without you, Woo” you sighed in content when your face hit his back as he carried you to his car.
The smell of his perfume mixed with the laundry detergent made you feel safe and at peace. You felt at home. As he approached his car, he placed you on the passenger seat and strapped you in. While he was busy adjusting your seat, you realized how close his face was to yours and you couldn’t help but to feel a little shy. “I’ll go get your meds” he informed and quickly left after turning on the engine and air conditioner in the car. Once Wonwoo returned, you placed your hand on his. “Can I go back to yours?” you sleepily asked. Wonwoo didn’t bother to question and just gave you a nod before driving off. The car ride to his condominium was quiet, the comfortable kind that you always shared with him. While driving, Wonwoo didn’t fail to reassure you, using his free hand to caress yours whenever there was a red light. As cheesy as it seemed, there were times you questioned yourself; what did you do in your past life to have someone like Wonwoo?. He was more than a friend at this point. A soulmate?, platonic one of course. You always told yourself to never take him for granted.
You didn’t know how long you fell asleep in the car but the next thing you knew you were on Wonwoo’s bed with the blanket covering your body. A few minutes later, the door slowly opened with Wonwoo carrying medicine in one hand and a glass of water in the other. “Was about to wake you up” he softly spoke. You sat up and took the medicine from his hand and washed it down with the water. “Does it still hurt?” he rubbed your back in circles, studying your face. You noticed that Wonwoo was wearing his glasses again. As selfish as it sounded, you preferred him this way. There was no doubt he looked like the hot bad boy when he doesn’t wear his glasses but to you, glasses Wonwoo was the real deal. So sweet, kind… “Yes, but once the medicine kicks in I’ll get better” you laid down and closed your eyes. Wonwoo caressed your hair gently before leaving. “Wait” you called out. “Hmm? Do you need anything?” he asked carefully and despite you trying to fight back the pain and tiredness, you could see how much Wonwoo cared about you just by looking into his eyes.
“Sleep with me”  
Wonwoo looked stunned and kept quiet for what felt like a few minutes. Throughout this whole friendship, he has never once shared a bed with you, not even when you come over to stay the night. He always respected your boundaries, even if it was at his place. He was a gentleman like that. But tonight, you didn’t want to sleep alone. You couldn’t read his facial expression but he seemed unsure.
“You don’t have to if you don’t-”
“I’ll stay with you”
With that, Wonwoo walked over to the other side of the bed and laid down next to you. He was a little awkward, one hand under his head as he looked at the ceiling. You chuckled at how unnatural he looked. “Hold my hand, Woo” you whined playfully. He turned to face you and held your hand. “Go to sleep, dummy” he nagged, giving you a look. You half smiled as you closed your eyes, sighing in content. “I hope you had fun earlier” you whispered. You felt his hand caressing your head gently. “It’d be more fun if you were there, everyone missed you”. You managed to let out a weak smile. “Sorry you had to leave early” your voice gradually became softer as the tiredness took over your body. Wonwoo didn’t reply. Before he knew it, you fell into a deep sleep and started to snore softly. “Your worth it, you’re always worth it” were the words Wonwoo whispered to himself while looking at your sleeping figure. He gently placed a kiss on your head before falling asleep himself.
You woke up the next morning to the sunlight peeking through the curtains. As you stretched your arms and yawned, a frown formed on your face upon realizing that the left side of the bed was empty. Where was Wonwoo?. You checked your phone. 11am. You let out an “Oh shit” for oversleeping but then you realized that Wonwoo left you a message:
Hey, hope you had a good sleep. I had to leave early for dance practice but I bought you McDonald’s breakfast before you left. Reply me when you’re awake.
Your heart melted at his sweet gesture. It was a Saturday which meant that he had dance practice. Wonwoo was part of the university’s dance club which required him to attend practice every Saturday. You didn’t usually stop by to watch him but you thought of surprising him this time with food. That was the least you could do after all that he has done for you since last night, you thought. You happily walked to the kitchen island and ate your McDonald’s breakfast heartily. After showering and wearing back last night’s hoodie and sweatpants (you only wore it for a few hours before you had to sleep anyway), you made your way to the nearest bakery just beside the condominium and picked out Wonwoo’s favourite pastries. From there you walked to the nearest train station which was about a 5 minute walk. The train ride usually took about 10 minutes and what you liked most about studying at your campus was that the train stop was only a short walk away from it. It was really convenient especially on days when Wonwoo wasn’t around to pick you up. After the train stopped at your campus, you hopped off excitedly to give Wonwoo his food.
Halfway walking, you had to stop and recall where the dance studio was since you rarely went there. As you slowly approached the room, you could hear the speakers blasting a familiar song. Christopher’s Bad. It was one of your favourite songs because the first time you heard it on Spotify, you had it on repeat nonstop the next few days. Curious, you peeked through the small window beside the door to watch. You didn’t recognize who it was but damn the way he danced definitely impressed you. His moves were sharp yet fluid and his facial expression was charismatic. He had this enigmatic aura that you didn’t really know how to describe. All you knew was that whoever the hell that just danced was not only talented but also really hot. You were so lost in your thoughts that you didn’t realize that the mysterious guy had stop dancing and was looking at you through the dance mirror.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt” You opened the door slightly as you quickly apologized. The dancer then turned to look at you as he ran his fingers through his sweaty hair. Fuck, can he not? You thought as you mentally fanned yourself. “You’re welcome to watch if you’d like” his tone was teasing as he smiled at you with bright eyes. Too stunned to speak, you were so glad that Minghao had to appear when you needed saving the most. “What are you doing here?” he smiled as he entered the room, holding the door for you. You shyly stepped in and felt the mysterious guy’s gaze still on you. “I wanted to pass these to Wonwoo” you held up the paper bag filled with pastries. “He went to the toilet, he’ll be back soon” Minghao replied before stretching in front of the mirror.
“So you’re Wonwoo’s girlfriend?” the dancer asked. “Huh? No!, bb-est friend! You corrected him but ended up stuttering like an idiot. Minghao watched your interaction with him and gave a knowing nod, as if he knew there was something going on between the two of you. “Yes, I know of you. I’m Hoshi by the way” he held out his hand and gave you a warm smile. You told him your name and shook his hand. “I didn’t say this earlier but you dance really well” you complimented, looking at him for a reaction. He thanked you shyly. “You should come by more often , I could teach you if you’d like” Hoshi offered. You didn’t notice Wonwoo walking into the room as you were too engaged in the conversation with Hoshi. What surprised Wonwoo more wasn’t the fact that you were in the dance studio even though he knew you never visited him during his dance club meets. It was the expression on your face as you talked to Hoshi. You looked interested, and he didn’t know what to feel about it.

Synopsis of Jay's Empire AU⚡⚡
[[Made by me and @culturalmochi ]]
The way it starts out is that Jay goes on a solo mission, finds the hard drive for Prime Empire, and gets trapped in the game.
Nobody knows where he went, so the ninja are desperately trying to find him.
Time in game moves a lot faster than in real life, so a few weeks for the ninja is a few months (close to a year) inside of the game.
Jay met Scott and he showed him the ropes of the game, but tried to subtly warn him about Unagami. Jay spent a lot of time leveling up and grinding so he could get high stats, but later found out that he wasn't able to leave or communicate with the outside world. Enter Unagami.
Unagami tells Jay that he sees potential in him, and that he's impressed with his progress through the game. They begin to have a sort of mentor/mentee kind of relationship.
Once again, time moves much faster in game. So jay starts to miss the real world and tells Unagami that he misses his friends. Unagami tells Jay, "if they were really your friends, they would have come back for you by now, wouldn't they?"
Later on, Jay is approached by none other than the ninja! His dearest friends finally coming back to rescue him and bring him home!
But as he spends more time with them, something feels... wrong. It turns out they're NPC's, and in his mission objective list, it says he has to "discard" them. So he does, and they crumble into little pixelated cubes. He levels up.
This repeats several times, each time the ninja dupes become more rude, indifferent, hateful. At some point they become so far removed from their true counterparts that the only thing in common they share is their appearances.
Then comes the time where Unagami is ready to open the game to the rest of the world. He brings Jay to help him spread the word by broadcasting an advertisement for Prime Empire.
That's when the ninja find out where Jay has been this whole time.
So the real gang enters Prime Empire and find Jay, who looks displeased to see them even if he tries to hide it.
Everyone is so happy to see him and to bring him out of the game, surrounding him with hugs and tears of joy.
But then Jay checks his objectives. "Discard the ninja". It's the same as it's always been, so he goes along with it.
But as Jay journeys with his friends through the game, he slowly comes to the realization that they aren't NPC's.. they're his real friends.
Scott, when he was first sucked in by the game, leveled up really fast and eventually gained the attention of Unagami. Unagami said he saw "great potential" in him and gave him access to the coding of the game. For Scott, this means he can essentially influence and change parts of the game, but not always by his own free will. With him being connected to the coding, that includes his thoughts, emotions, memories, trauma, etc. this connection also gave Unagami a way to keep track of where Scott was and what he was doing at all times. 
so eventually, Unagami wants to bring empire to the physical world, but he needs help getting the world out. he tells Scott his plan and Scott is like "actually, fuck this :)" and escapes from Unagami. in order to keep him from tracking his every move, Scott cuts off his own connection to the game's code. He hunkers down in his hideout and tries to plot a way to a)escape and b)prevent Unagami from taking over the real world. 
so finally, Jay enters the game! Scott finds him running away from red visors and picks him up and takes him to his hideout. Scott explains the general rules of the game, gives him tips on how to survive, glitches, cheats, all of it. but he tries to warn him about Unagami and Jay is too enraptured with the thrall of the game to pay any mind to Scott's warnings. Jay starts leveling up and progressing, very similar to how Scott did, and gained the same kind of attention from Unagami. he saw great potential in him. at that point, Scott says that Jay can't come to the hideout anymore, and Jay asks why. Scott says "i already told you, but you didn't listen to me." and so Jay goes to Unagami. Unagami promises him steep advantages in the game, protection, etc and Jay is going along with it because, to him, its still just a game. the gravity of the situation hasn't quite hit him yet. he doesn't know that he's trapped. 
so now, Jay and Unagami have a sort of mentor/mentee kind of relationship, and Jay very much fits into the role of the teachers pet. the red visors are **VERY** protective of him and will often accompany him wherever he goes unless he tells them to leave (sometimes they listen, sometimes they dont). There is one red visor who is particularly close to Jay. she goes with him everywhere and is the most protective of him compared to the other RV's. Jay tries to talk with her sometimes, and one day he asks her what her name is. her voice glitches out a lot, like something is corrupted in her code. she repeats "four o-oh four-r-r AA e-rror-r four o-o-oh four-r AA" and Jay is like "hmm.. rora? can i call you rora?" and she just nods at him. (Rora becomes important later!!)
so anyways, going back to how Unagami has adopted Jay as his mentee, Jay has the same kind of access to the game's coding that Scott does. including the influence of his memories and past traumas. this manifests in several ways, but one of which is how the NPC clones of the ninja interact with him. Jay has a lot of issues with self esteem and often fears that nobody really cares about him, finds him annoying, etc. so with each iteration of the ninja dupes, they become meaner and meaner until the only resemblance they share to their irl counterparts is their physical appearance. 
Jay (not realizing that Unagami is the one creating the dupes) goes to Unagami to vent about how he misses his friends and wishes they could join him in the game. Unagami tells Jay "if they were really your friends, they would have come for you by now. They probably forgot about you. but it's not you ever needed them anyways. here, you are powerful, loved by everybody, adored by the masses. in here, you are important." gotta love that gaslight gatekeep gameboss moment. eventually, Unagami is ready to bring prime empire to the physical world once he's seen Jay get to the same point that Scott was at. Unagami says that he needs Jays help to deliver the message, and that crossing the line between digital and physical means that Jay can go back to the real world while still maintaining the same power and reputation he has in the game. Jay agrees and works with Unagami to make an advertisement. 
this is the advertisement script: 
[Do you want to join Prime Empire?
“What is Prime Empire?” it’s a fully immersive, futuristic video game experience! Using the latest virtual emulation technology, players are quite literally part of the game. Customize your avatar, meet other players, level up, and compete in tournaments!
“But how do I join?” The answer is simple, silly! Prime Empire can be found in your arcades, in your consoles, even on your phones! You would have to live under a rock to not find your way in.
“How do I win?” Your quest is to seek out the legendary Keytanas. But be warned, there are challenges that you will face. Deadly forests, dangerous races, and more! Will you rise above the rest and claim your rightful victory?
Join today, but don’t delay! Only the first 100 players will get a chance to meet yours truly (winks). In the Super Star Rocking Jay event, I will teach you the ropes of the game, along with exclusive tips that will give you an advantage over other players!
Do you have what it takes? Prove your worth and become part of Prime Empire!] 
however, Scott has caught wind of the ad, and so he hacks into the broadcast and tries to warn everybody to "STAY OUT OF PRIME EMPIRE!!" but once again, his warnings fall on deaf ears. 
however, now the ninja know where Jay has been all this time! they manage to be part of the 1st 100 players in the game and go to the super star rocking Jay event. Kai, Nya, Lloyd, Cole, pixal and zane all get in the game. but due to their own coding, pixal and zane despawn and get plopped back in the real world within the first 10mins of the game. They spend a lot of time outside of prime empire trying to find ways to re-enter the game.
so now we finally get to when the (remaining) ninja meet up with Jay, and he is disappointed at best when he sees them. but when they surround him with love and hugs and tears of joy, it throws him off guard. all of the NPC's were never this kind to him. He checks his objective menu and a new notification shows up. "discard the ninja". same as it's always been. part of the objective has always been to "not let the ninja know that you know they are fakes." but after all of this time, Jay has grown tired and so he doesn't really bother trying to keep up appearances. he won't flat out say that he thinks they're fakes, but his demeanor is completely off. 
the ninja make it to okino and they start going through the forest, the cliffs, and finally the maze of the red dragon. throughout this time, there are several little moments that lead Jay to believe that these might be his real friends. he tries to write them off, but it keeps nagging at him. in the canon scene where Unagami pauses the game and talks to okino, its the same except its Jay that Unagami talks to. "just wanted to check in with you, everything is still going according to plan, correct?" Jay responds with "yes, but these ones are different. none of the other clones have acted so.. so close to my real friends." Unagami scoffs "these ones are just as fake as the others. make sure you complete your objective. we are very close to bridging the gap, and I wouldn't want anybody to hold you back from being at my side when we cross over." Jay agrees and the game resumes. 
Jay has the perfect opportunity to let his friends perish at the hands of the dragon, but something in him screams at him to help them win. he points out the scale on the back of the dragon, they defeat it, and Jay gets the dragon summon. instead of keeping it, he gives it to Cole. "i figure you guys will probably need it more than me. I've got higher stats, i can take care of myself." (that dragon summon becomes important later) so ANYWAY now its time for the speedway 5billion. but they don't have enough credits so they have to get some extra money. the gang goes to the dance battle, but! theres also a karaoke battle they have to participate in. Jay and Cole sing Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears for Fears (this song is also important later!) and they win the contest and get enough credits to enter the race. however... 
by this point in time, Jay is pretty sure that this group is his **real** friends, and he doesn't feel like he can go through with his objective anymore. besides, would clones really dance with him? sing his favorite songs with him? watch out for him when danger approaches? smile at him with such kindness and sincerity? clones wouldnt, but his real friends would. once again, his connection to the code means that Unagami is able to track him, and also take peeks into his mind. Unagami senses this realization and pauses the game again to confront him. "Jay, you must not let these clones cloud your judgement. you still have a mission to complete." Jay says "Unagami, these aren't dupes! they're really my friends, and they came back for me! i can't just "discard" them like you want me to. I won't!" "you WILL if you ever want to leave this digital space. if you will not join me in bridging the gap, then you will be left in here for all of eternity. the choice is yours, Jay walker." and with that, the game resumes. 
the ninja are all talking and they realize that Jay has gone silent. "Jay? you good?" Kai asks. Jay snaps out of it and reassures them that he's fine. but thats when he sees *him*. in the crowd of NPC's bustling about the city, he sees nadakhan. staring at him with that evil, calculated grin and begins approaching them. Jay's eyes go wide and his stomach drops. "are you sure you're okay?" Lloyd asks. "we.. we need to get out of here. we need to leave *now*" Jay says with a quiet, wavering voice. Just as he moves to flee, Nya gasps.
It was the scene of Nya dying. She was cradled in Jay's arms, muttering her last words before going completely limp. The master of lightning shook with broken sobs, clinging to his friend as if holding her tight enough could bring her back. That was the day that Jay Walker had lost everything.
And now, that moment was set on an infinite loop, broadcasted on every screen in the capital city of Prime Empire.
Jay was frozen, unable to do anything but succumb to his rising panic.
Nya was in a similar state, feeling the sharp pains of her chest that came from her old wound. She remembered dying, the pain and vulnerability. Now her final moments were in full display.
The rest of them gazed in horror and confusion, unable to comprehend what was going on. Jay thinks he heard Kai yelling, maybe he was asking why his sister was dying over and over again. Cole sounded like he was trying to warn everyone about the approaching assailants. Those of which looked like clones of the Misfortune's crew, including their tyrannical captain.
It was all too much. Jay felt his digital blood freeze in his veins, his air cutting off entirely, and his vision slowly turning to static.
Nadakhan. Nya. Tiger widow venom. Kai. Nadhakan. Nya. Zane. Cole. Nya. Lloyd. Nadakhan. Nya. Nya. Nya. N-
Jay's friends tried to reach for him, to help him, but then it happened.
An explosion of lightning burst from Jay's body, flooding through the city with blue and white pixelated sparks. And once the wave had passed, the city went dark. The screens that were looping that wretched day were now idle. The Misfortune's crew were nowhere to be seen. Jay had fallen unconscious. 
"What are you guys doing here?" Scott asked, his face contorted in concern.
"Scott, it- its Jay. He had this weird power surge and he-" Lloyd stuttered before him and his friends were roughly yanked inside of Scott's hideout.
Cole was carrying Jay's limp body, and followed Scott's instructions to lay him on the workbench. But not before he had thrown all of his tools and blueprints on the ground in a rush.
"What did you say? About a power surge?"
"It was-" Lloyd started again
"It was like he exploded," Kai cut in, "we've never seen his element act like that."
"The city, it went dark." Nya added.
"And there was something going on with the city screens, they were showing-" said Cole.
"My sister dying! Over and over again! That's not part of the game, right?!"
"Guys guys! Chill the fuck out, one at a time." Scott demanded. They all went quiet before Nya spoke up.
"The screens showed one of Jay's memories. One of his most traumatic ones. NPC's started changing into people that.. are related to that memory. They started attacking us from all sides. Jay had gone into a panic attack before he surged. That wave of power blew out the whole city's power and everything went dark. After that he passed out."
Scott looked at her with a look of dread.
"This is worse than I thought.."
"What do you mean worse? Scott, what's wrong with Jay?" Cole asked. Scott sighed.
"He's.. he's become part of the game."
"Like an NPC?" Lloyd said.
"No, not an NPC. His memories, his soul, his life force- it's bleeding into the coding of the game. His emotions and memories are able to affect the behavior of the game. Environments, NPCs, everything."
"How do you know all of that, Scott?" Nya interjected.
"Because he's just like me."
"What??" The ninja said in unison.
"When I first came into the game, Unagami wanted me to bring Prime Empire to the real world. To break out of this digital prison and conquer the rest of the physical world. I agreed to help him because I didn't see any other way out of this hellscape. He granted me access to the code. So I'm just as connected to Prime Empire as Jay is. My memories are there too.
But the thing is, is that I've cut myself off of the code. It's the only way I could hide from Unagami, since I had abandoned ship and didn't want to help him anymore. I'm a threat because I can affect the code.
But if I don't connect to it, I stay hidden.
But Jay, his connection is so strong by this point. Everything he does changes the game.
He's gonna be okay, for now, but I can't guarantee the same for all of you." Scott finished, his eyes sunken and tired.
"Wh- what are we supposed to do then? How can we get Jay out of here?" Kai asked.
"Beat the game. As far as I know, there's no other way out of here."
They all looked at each other, faces grim but determined.
"Well we can't leave here without Jay, can we stay here until he wakes up?" Said Nya.
"Absolutely not." Scott replied.
"What? Why??" Cole butted in.
"The longer you guys stay here, with h i m, the more danger all of us are in. Jay is part of the coding, Unagami can find him. And that means he can find u s."
"Well how do we wake him up? There's gotta be some way!" Lloyd pleaded.
Scott looked at Jay's unconscious form.
"Fuck, okay, let me try something." 
so Scott does the only thing he can think of that might work. he reconnects himself to the game's code in order to "plug in" to Jay and wake him up. when he plugs in, Scott sees Jay in a dark, endless room. he's crouched on the ground, sobbing and shaking
But thrashing from his body is manifestations of his trauma, like a horrible amalgamation that is distorting his physical form and its. Horrifying.
Scott looks at him and tries to approach him without getting hurt
He gets to him and he makes contact with his shoulder and then the surge of energy happens and he gets unplugged and shot across the room, and Jay wakes up with a start, chest heaving and his eyes still wet with tears. Cole is there right next to Jay, and Jay clings onto him like a lifeline. Kai wraps his arms around Jay too and they hold him and comfort him as best they can. Lloyd and Nya go over to Scott to see if he's okay. he groans and sits up, Lloyd and Nya help him stand. "what happened? what was that??" Nya asks. "I woke him up. but its not safe anymore. you guys have to get him out of here, or else Unagami is gonna show up and if he does.. well its safe to assume it'll be game over for all of us." 
"we still have to win the highway 5billion and get the second keytana." Cole says, "and we need cars." Scott sighs at this, "i've got cars you can use, i won't be using them very much anymore anyways." "what does that mean?" Kai asks. "did you not hear me? its game over. you guys have to get Jay out of here." Scott says. "Scott, you know the game better than anyone, we need your help. will you race with us?" Nya pleads. Scott is about to reject when he looks at Jay. Jay is looking at him with a look that breaks his heart. "fine. I'll race with you guys." 
so they fix up the cars and enter the SW5B and Scott is like "i guess if we're going in, i might as well get a new look." so he customizes his avatar (if u check my post with his redesign, thats the avatar he has, the glowing parts of his outfit change colors!) and they start the race! Scott doesn't have his own car, instead he's jumping from vehicle to vehicle and taking out the other drivers so that the ninja can win. he uses his baseball bat as a melee weapon but it can also shoot lasers! Kai still gets that loot box upgrade and has the running mech, and just like in canon, Cole and Kai get cubed. so does Scott, he gets run over lol. now its just Jay, Nya, and Lloyd and they make their way to the temple of madness.
then we have the fight. in canon its Lloyd and harumi, but in this au, Jay enters the arena instead. he gets in and the game picks his fighter. expecting it to be someone he's fought before, he prepares himself. but nothing could have prepared him for who he saw standing in front of him. it was echo zane. 
Nya stares in horror and Lloyd is confused. "who is that? that can't be zane, right? why would he be part of the game?" Lloyd asks. Nya can't say anything, and neither can Jay. Jay wants to give up, he cant fight echo. someone who helped him in the most dire of times, only to be left alone on that island for the rest of eternity. Jay had never gone back for him, and that guilt he felt had just kicked into high gear having to look echo in the eyes. but then echo starts attacking him, and Jay has to defend himself. Jay wins, and sees echo disappear after the final blow. the walls of the arena disappear and Jay falls to his knees. Lloyd and Nya move in immediately to help him up. "seriously, what the hell is going on?? why aren't you guys saying anything??" Lloyd demands. "we can't talk about it right now, Lloyd. we'll have to tell you later." Nya says quietly. her voice is tight and dies in her throat. Lloyd gets the hint and doesn't push it any further. 
so the three of them make it through the sushi restaurant and make it to the gate with the 3 keytanas. Jay, Lloyd, and Nya go to put in the blades and they open the gate. standing in front of them is none other than Unagami. "Jay, you have disappointed me. you were so important, so valued, and you have thrown that away for the sake of your so-called 'friends'. thankfully, there is still a place for you." Unagami says. "i don't WANT a place with you! you've hurt me, you've hurt my friends, you've hurt so many innocent people. all of those cubes? those are REAL PEOPLE! i can't let you do this Unagami. I won't let you get away with this." Jay says defiantly. Unagami sighs, "i was hoping it would not come to this. but if you chose to act this way, you will face the consequences. you will help me bridge this gap, whether you like it or not." and Unagami holds out his hands. an intense blue beam of light bursts from his palms and hits Jay square in the chest. the light is absorbed by his body and his form begins to glitch and spasm violently. mochi and i have called this the Blue Screen of Death. (tw for mild(?) body horror) Jay is overcome by the blue and his body begins to grow and distort, all the while he's screaming and his cries are glitched out and staticky. Lloyd and Nya watch, frozen in fear as their friend begins to grow to massive size, writhing in agony. Jay thrashes and knocks into both of them, sending them off the side of the platform and cubing them. the last two energy cubes join the gate and Jay crawls through. 
(with this scene, in the background, the lorde version of everybody wants to rule the world would be playing, just as a nice parallel to the song from earlier at the karaoke battle)
MEANWHILE, as pixal and zane attempted to find ways to get back into the game, find milton dyer, etc, zane gets captured by the mechanic. everything goes the same as it does in canon where the mechanic hooks zane up to the gate. 
and now, we get a look at where everybody who got cubed resides. Scott, when he was cubed, was greeted by Unagami personally. he criticized him for his actions and expressed his disappointment before ultimately locking him inside of a digital cell. Scott figured that this was how the rest of his life would be, trapped in a cage with no way out and no way to die. but then! Rora shows up. that corruption in her system from the beginning? that was her beginning to break away from her coding and becoming more of a person. she saw what happened to Jay, and she wants to help him. she breaks Scott out and they agree to work together to save Jay. but they're gonna need all the help they can get. together, Scott and rora free the ninja and all of the other cubed players and they make it through the portal. 
and thats where they see Jay, now as tall as the skyscrapers in ninjago city and wreaking havoc on the entire area. 
everyone looks up at him in utter horror and see just how corrupted he's become. he's wailing in pain as he drives his guitar down on building after building. thrashing and flailing, causing the structures around him to crumble and collapse. "how the fuck are we gonna fix this?!" Nya cries. "i can help." Unagami approaches them. everyone gets into fighting stances, ready to beat Unagami into the pavement. "i did not realize that corrupting him would turn out like this. i know how to fix him, but i need your help." "why should we help YOU?" Kai growls. "if you want to save your city and your friend from complete destruction, you *will* help me." and so Unagami explains that if they can lure Jay back through the portal, Unagami can undo his corruption and fix Jays "coding" 
so now the ninja are trying to figure out how to get Jay's attention and bring him back through the portal. it seems like nothing is working, and then Cole gets an idea. he starts singing the lyrics to everybody wants to rule the world. it seems to get Jay's attention, so he keeps singing.
the others hear him and they join in. now they have Jay's attention, and he's closing in on them. that dragon summon from earlier? now thats when that comes in handy. Cole calls the digidragon and rides it so that Jay cant crush him while he lures him back to the portal. low and behold, they manage to get Jay through the portal, Unagami purifies his "coding" and they return to the physical world once again. Unagami gets to have his talk with milton and all of the npcs+pcs that want to come out do, and the others stay in the game. the city is in shambles, the portal closes, and zane+pixal+wu reunite with the others. 
the car ride home is very quiet. everyone is exhausted, Jay is asleep and leaning on Cole's shoulder. they have a lot to talk about, but for now, they just want to sleep through the night. they make it home, go to their separate rooms, and go to bed.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand thats pretty much all of it!! theres a little epilogue that has snippets of what Scott, racer 7, okino, and rora do now that they're outside of the game, but thats just kinda there lol.

hi luna vitally important question. for all of your ocs if they were inexplicably youtubers what niche youtube subculture would they be a part of
the way u always ask about ALL my guys. i get to sit here and rant about them for 12 hours straight bc theres so many <3
(also im ASSUMING u mean like. a modern day au. like they live in our world. sorry if that's not the case)
aderyn: fashion vlogger. he'd be so annoying too bc the thing is his goal is to show ppl how to dress for their body type but also their level of comfort w/exposure, the weather, the occasion; like he wants ppl to rly think about what they're putting into a fit instead of just following trends. also he's constantly following keldan around like "let me give you a makeover next time ur in town" and keldan refuses. obviously. they have ongoing twitter beef about it so there's actually a surprising amount of fandom crossover
keldan: travel vlogger. like he lives out of a van/rv so he'd do periodic van tours, show off where he's staying, what he saw, etc. he always posted the videos like two weeks after he was actually there so no one could predict where he was going next. sometimes he does campsite reviews but they're all super vague like "the views were great! bathrooms were kinda gross if ur not a fan of bugs" and everyone's like "what does that mean. how many bugs were there". his viewership is all ppl who romanticize vanlife but would never actually do it.
melati: cafe reviews. luckily she lives in like... nyc or some other large city so there is no shortage of cafes to visit. she'll do repeat visits to cafes if she likes them or if they're the type to do seasonal specials or change their menu a lot. she's also active on tiktok where she does "what to order at starbucks" and it's those insane drink modifications that no reasonable human being would ever actually order. (except if you did for some ungodly reason actually order them, they'd be pretty fuckin good.)
seia: not actually on youtube. he shows up one day on keldan's channel and it's like... kind of extremely obvious that the two of them are traveling together but it's not like he shows up in every single place they visit (is keldan just not filming him? is he really not there? no one knows) and also the two of them never clarify their relationship (also true to canon) so comments are like "theyre dating for sure" "uh you can't just assume that" "theyre sleeping in the same bed tho?" "maybe seia has his own van" "it's homophobic to imply that they're just friends" "can't we just have rep for non-toxic male friendships?" etc etc. seia screenshots the best ones and sends them to the sky sea gang's discord server.
delwyn: daily vlogger, but it's clickbait-y shit like "i almost died doing parkour today" and then u watch it and he actually DID almost die and ur like. how did yt allow this to be uploaded. luckily he doesn't do any of the cringy prank stuff but he doesn't need to bc he's cringy enough on his own. the secondhand embarrassment is so real but he has a ton of followers anyway bc ppl are like "no way how is this guy still alive". it's like watching a train wreck or seeing a car crash. you just HAVE to find out more
chan: chan would have a cooking channel. he'd post recipes and tutorials and stuff and would have a long-running series where he invites other big-name youtubers and tries to teach them how to cook, except theyre always atrociously bad at it and it's funny. 90% of the ppl subbed to him don't cook, don't know how to cook, have never and will never try any of his recipes (even tho he'd make it SOOO easy for beginners) they literally just think he's funny and like to listen to his jokes. there's a small minority of ppl who do try his recipes and post rave reviews on their tumblr blogs about him. he never sees them bc he doesn't use tumblr
junhee: junhee would inexplicably have one of those asmr craft channels. i like to think he's really dedicated to those paper theaters (exhibit a, exhibit b) so most of his content is making those (he does a lot from scratch, zero pattern/template etc, but he also does requests for pokemon cards and stuff like that as well as theme requests. if someone requests like a ghibli movie or maybe a minecraft inspired one he'll take that into account. he's got a whole list he's working through). but he also sometimes does mini diorama stuff (exhibit a, exhibit b). those are extremely rare uploads bc theyre so time and resource intensive but ppl go crazy for them. he's got almost a million subs even tho ppl have never seen his face or heard his voice. he rarely even replies to comments. it's literally like he just logs in to upload a video and leaves again. no one's gonna say he's their fave youtuber or anything but no one hates him that's for sure
sasha: sasha would be a daily vlogger. just like here's my life etc. except they still work in a hospital/medical care so the vlogs are supremely censored bc of hipaa and other privacy policies and also bc some of the stuff they do on the daily is actually gross and would get taken off youtube. they have like max 6k subs but those 6k subs are dedicated. they love sasha's content and are like genuinely invested even tho sasha's extremely vague all the time
hana: hana would literally be one of those tech review vloggers. she gets free stuff and sponsorships etc from cutting edge companies and startups. microsoft sends her care packages. she has like a billion subs. it's like 63% male viewership so she says it's only bc they think she's mildly attractive but all the comments sections are ppl genuinely interested in her reviews and opinions. healthiest yt comment section on the planet no joke
kei: SUPER into astrology. she posts videos like "how to interpret your daily horoscope" and "what mercury in retrograde means for YOU". but she's actually more into tiktok where she does vids like "zodiac signs as vines" and "zodiac songs as hit 1999 singles" etc etc. has a cult following that takes everything she says super seriously even tho she herself is like "guys it's not that serious"
other fun trivia:
junhee has a tumblr that's totally untraceable to his yt account. the last time he reblogged a post was in 2016 and he only uses it to find the recipe reviews ppl post about chan's channel.
the tsh main trio have a weird poly thing going on. they're not out about it but junhee's guested on chan's channel ("this is my bf junhee", zero mention of said bf having a yt channel bc that's how junhee prefers it) and there are brief glimpses of delwyn's filming through the apartment where ppl see the kitchen and are like "isn't that....?" somehow delwyn always sees those comments and replies "idk who this chan guy is :/" and no one can tell if he's being serious
in this universe sasha and hana are madly in love because there's no "you literally killed my brother" "well he came back didn't he?" conflict to tear them apart. they're so gross and mushy about it. sasha catches hana in their vlogs, they do unboxing videos together, and every time they kiss or are generally in love on camera ppl post fan edits on twitter like "omg they're so in love" "get you someone who looks at you like hana looks at sasha" etc.
no one knows hana and kei are friends until they both show up in one of sasha's vlogs. the entire internet explodes bc the whole jokey rivalry their fandoms have built up ("theyre so different they wouldn't get along if they knew each other irl") just crumbles.
if seia DID have a youtube channel it would be asmr bullet journal/calligraphy stuff. also stationery-from-aliexpress unboxing videos. but his current lifestyle (driving across the country in a van with his not-boyfriend) doesn't really suit the stationery hoarding thing. so.
keldan finally agrees to let aderyn give him a makeover and then they DON'T FILM IT. keldan films exactly one video with the Look that aderyn puts together for him and then never does it again. everyone is freaking out about it

synposis: working in a restaurant has its ups and down but working in the neo restaurant really takes the cake. wether it be the dreamies proving their superiority over and over again or the rat-pack band of sorts the head bartender put together, nothing fails to amuse. throw in a soundcloud rapper or two, a couple of new kids on the block, so kindly trained by haechan and taeil, a worn-out manager of sorts paired with two assistant managers, questionable cooks, flirty bartenders and you’re bound to enjoy yourself here. without a doubt, there’s something for everyone here, no matter your preferences; this is the place to be tonight.
tl;dr: the life of a waitress in the vacinity of the neo’s and gang.
genre: sm au, restaurant au, crack, slice of life
pairings: jaehyun x reader, mark x reader (so far)
warnings: swearing; i mean, come on. alcohol mentions!! jungwoo likes getting free wine from johnny and jisung likes to buss it down after a shot of tequila ✊✨
other: red velvet appearances bc i figured it coudn’t all be testosterone. other artists too, rv is just more noticeable. cringey souncloud rapper(s) okay but yangyang is so cute, me and vivi discussed this! grandpa ™️ taeyong bc i figured he can’t keep up with his 22 kids ALL the time (he’s fostered rv for the sake of this fic). literal flirting all the time bc i don’t know how to act therefore yn doesn’t know how to act as s/t/he/y is a product of my brain. haechan wwe fights mark like he’s got paddypower setting the odds on him. yuta is ‘allergic’ to ordering his own ingredients,. sungchan is a certified f-boy (soft tho, he’s just mad he’s a busboy). shotaro is possibly my favourite and gets special treatment. mark makes me cry from laughter. dreamies are partiers (lol check their gc name, shoulda guessed). doyoung is an awful cook and more❗️
updated on whenever i get off work 😄

a/n: i just wanted something fun, possibly short, possibly long. it could be something i add to over time but it could also be something i finish within a month. like a chronicle. yeah. this is fun and the idea came to me after i read about a restaurant au somewhere else. i just figured i could draw off of my own experiences and my own awful humour; i enjoy restaurant type things bc i’ve worked in a couple over the years lol ♡
ask me about work!! like my real-life job besties. it’s loads of fun.
