Tumblr media
An old vinyl was playing slowly on the record player, a slow jazz ensemble letting out low notes. It was pleasant, the calm music mixing with the gentle crashing of the waves coming onto shore, and the filtered sunlight coming through the linen curtains and warming up your skin. There was no rushing, no tasks that needed to be urgently done, and no one to boss you around. You could definitely get used to this. 
“You’re looking right at home there,” a soft chuckle broke you from your relaxed spell. Leona was standing in front of you, giving you a curious look. “Like a house cat sunbathing.”
You rolled your eyes, “Fitting coming from you.” You stretched out, and rolled off of the chaise you were lounging on. 
Leona sighed in mock annoyance, but he could get used to seeing you without the weight of all your responsibilities resting on your shoulders. You looked — and by all the lounging you had been doing since you had both arrived — and felt lighter as well. And in the golden sunlight? Leona swore that you were glowing.
You lazily walked over to him, placing your arms around his neck. “Is something bothering you?”
Bothering me? “No, nothing at the moment,” he said quietly. What was there to be bothered by? The two of you were together, and there was no one around to annoy the both of you. “And you?”
You hummed along to the song playing, “Nope!~” You let out a breathy chuckle and started to gently sway back and forth to the music. “Would you care to join me for this dance… your majesty?~” 
Leona groaned at the nickname; you only brought it out when you were feeling teasing. He didn’t mind though, since it didn’t hold the weight it did at the palace, or the mocking tone that others sometimes used. You just were being a teasing menace and a cute one at that.
Letting out a showy sigh he adjusted your hands so that he was holding one and the other was placed on his waist. “I suppose I can spare one for you,” he said lowly, voice barely above a grumble. 
The two of you swayed gently together to the soft music, gentle swaying, and long, slow, looping circles around the room. You were still humming the non-existent lyrics to the song, and Leona hummed softly from time to time as well, adding to the melody. Never did he think that he would end up in such a scene; dancing with someone he loved so dearly in something that he could only explain as a fairytale scene. It was soft, domestic, tender, and filled with such innocent love. All things that Leona had convinced himself that he didn’t want. But then you came into his life. You threw a wrench into his life, but what a lovely wrench it turned out to be.
The song came to an end far too soon, and the two of you came to a slow standstill, still in each other’s loose embrace. Neither of you made a move to let go, instead you both just stood there, hand in hand, your hand on his waist, and his on yours.
“You make for a good dance partner,” you chuckle.
Leona raised a brow, “And are you surprised by that?”
You bring his hand to your lips, placing a kiss on the inside of his wrist while looking at him through your lashes. “No, it’s just endearing is all.”
Leona had received kisses from you before, both soft and passionate, but this one actually made his heart flutter. He didn’t know how to feel about it, but he did know that the way you looked at him just then… he wanted you to look at him with such adoration again and again and again. It was addictive.
He brought your hand to his lips, and returned the kiss, letting it linger so he could feel your steady pulse. Perhaps the two of you should come out here more often if this was what happened… Leona could spend the rest of his life with you in this picturesque moment.

I actually had send this ask before I think it didn't reach you... So, I'm going to resend it. Hope you don't mind! And I hope you are alright with me using a few of your ideas.. basically this is how it goes.
Do you know the anime Oshi No Ko? I was planning to make a fanfiction based on it, and Arsenic Blue. It still in the process, but basically I plan to make that Percy had somehow returned to her universe, lost her memories like how you tell us she will, and then continues to live her life, not remembering the ror universe or the Yanderes. She somehow become a singer or an idol not long after and the same time the ror gods finally gain access to view PJO universe only to see Percy singing and dancing on a huge stage with a huge crowds cheering her on.
I imagine Zeus will be the one cheering on Percy (and he will probably plan to have her perform on his parties when they got her back) and Adamas probably will buy all her merch.
The Yanderes;
I imagine they either proud, or shocked and felt jealous of the attention Percy gave her fans or downright just plan to make her only sing and dance for them once they got her.
I plan to make Percy like Ai Hoshino from Oshi No Ko. Which meant that when she was returned to pjo universe, she was actually pregnant with one of the yanderes children (still unsure to make who her baby daddy is) but you can rest assure the yandere baby daddy will be extremely proud to see his children while the other Yanderes felt even more jealous. Just like Oshi No Ko, Percy take a hiatus from becoming an idol to raise her children and was later on stabbed by a fanatic fan of hers at her own home, infront of her twin children (yes, her curse has been removed or the one stabbed her is someone who knows her from the Half-blood Camp). I imagine the horror and shock the ror Gods went through, especially the Yanderes and her uncles (Zeus and Adamas-especially Adamas because he love his niece like a daughter) when they saw this through the magical mirror they were using to watch over Percy. And the moment she hugged her twins and said she loved them with all her heart, and her only regret is not watching them grow up? The baby daddy are going to be so furious, as their twin hugged and cries for their mother, Percy, while Percy is about to take her last breath.
This is how far I have written and I might published it sometime along next week.
IF YOU DO PLAN ON PUBLISHING THIS PLS TELL ME UR USER SO I CAN CHECK OUT TOO 🥰🥰
(and also, what site are you gonna publish it on???)
and this just came to me, but you know what would really fit with the idol thing she's got going on?? the fact that she's a mermaid/siren, so = good voice :D
(i don't plan on giving percy any singing scenes in arsenic blues, so the whole "siren voice" thing won't be explored since the main reason i put "siren percy jackson" tag in ao3 was because ppl use mermaid and siren interchangeably. so if you wanna use the siren voice thing, then go on ahead!!)

~Seaspring
Just a lil blurb about Ais experiencing the tragedy of loss yet again. Am I evil? Perhaps.
Credit for prompt: @ker0fish
Warnings: angst, HEAVY ANGST, major character DEATH, literal impalement, blood, lots of blood, tears and anguish
Pairing: Ais x Reader
Word Count: 517
______________________________________________________________
Ais has felt pain in his life multiple times. People come and go in Eridia, never staying for too long. It's a city for travelers, merchants, and monsters. Human life just isn't sustainable in a such a place. People rarely decide to stay, because they all know, the chances of leaving alive lessen each passing day.
Today is no different than any other. It is cloudy. The sun never touches the spirals and columns of Eridia, as if punishing the city for housing the monsters that it does. The empty, barren land surrounding Eridia is plagued by the Soulless, bloodthirsty, mindless entities that came rushing out when the rift opened to the other world. And today, they have taken something dear from Ais.
Ais is an angry demon. He punishes people he deems worthy of his wrath. People who prey upon the weak, evil people that are no worse than real monsters. And yet, in this moment, he cannot bring himself to be angry. He cannot feel at all.
As your blood pools around you, spilling onto his clothes, his hands, the wooden floors of his shrine. He cannot feel. He watches, numbly, as the light begins to leave your eyes. Human life is so feeble. He knew from the day you arrived, your quest was hopeless. Everything was always hopeless in Eridia.
You arrived, a burning beacon of hope. Hopeful to find the cure to your curse. Light brimming in your eyes. Such bright eyes. Looking into them made him feel things he hadn't felt in a long time. But now, there is no light left.
You are gasping for air, any that may bless your lungs, but it is also hopeless. The hole in your abdomen is gaping, spilling out blood faster than your body can replenish. This is the end for you, you think. But it is not the end for Ais. He has a gang to run, would it be so foolish to think someone like him is always two steps ahead? Always having a backup emergency plan. Even if he loathes it to his core.
Feeding you the water from his seaspring is selfish, he knows this. Human life was not meant to be prolonged in such an abnormal way. An unnatural way. And yet he allows the red water to pool into his hand, cupped gingerly to preserve the blood of his progenitor, Ocedeus. In his mind, he hears the entity whispering. "Hurry, you are running out of time. Hurry. Hurry. HURRY."
But it must be the choice of the person to drink from the seaspring. And so he holds his hand up to your paling lips, and begs. Demons do not beg, never. They are proud beings, and begging to lower life is beneath them. And Ais begs, and he begs for you to drink. But the screaming of voices in head head has occupied him for too long. He has failed to notice your weak breathing has quieted. And there is no sound left, just the drip, drip, drip, of your blood past the wooden boards, into the Seaspring.
Audio with soft music for people who don't like reading!:
My first time narrating, how'd I do? :D

Welcome to the estate of purple creatures!!
003: Valentine
Tumblr media
A LONG TIME AGO:
Seeing the darkness and chaos reach out to him, he already felt hopeless a he fall down to his knees. No longer trying to escape what's have been done for hundred of turns.
'why do I even remember...
This pain....' tearfully he felt sick wanting to change his destiny. He always found himself in the same loop of fate where his controlled by someone who look like him, killing his friends and destroying his own world. It's either this or be killed what become of his one of his dear friend..
< So you want asylum from all of the chaos?>
He heard a voice spoke to him, his eyes widen in shock before fear creeps into his heart, he saw the core fae who's one of the reason those event happened to him—appeare before him.
< I'll help you >
Before he can say anything. He heard a snap and he found himself in another place. a beautiful garden. The fae turn to a smoll pixie and look at him while floating around.
< Purples like you shelter in this place. You should able to stay here everytime chaos takes over your body. >
"H-huh... Why are you helping me..... What do you want from me!?" He felt panic, he can't trust this person. There's no good reason someone would help him. His not even close to them!
< Because your Ai close friend. And it's a canon event for you to stay here. > They shrugged their shoulder before they give a candy to him.
< From today on, you'll be called Valentine or val. In this minor where theres lot of you who have the same Original name, you need identity to be called your own.> They added.
They seems to be in a deep thought for a moment:
< that name would protect you and you can stay here because you have an "original" name >
"What .... Please! Pls explain more!" He really don't understand what's going on.
< Take care of yourself val~ till next time. Btw you need to pay rent in this place. This is not free~ byeeeeeeee>
Before he can ask more the core fae disappear leaving him even more confuse.
"Oh my, what's this? A new < friend > that I don't know would arrive~ tell me, ghost am I seeing things?" He heard someone spoke behind him, he turn around quickly In defense mechanism and was about to throw what's his holding in his hand but he saw someone who look like him but have a short hair..
"A-are you that chaos...?! N-no you don't have long hair or butterfly feature like him... You look more " sane" that he was...." He was nervous but break down his own assumption.
"Me "sane"? Oh?? How rare." The other him in a lab coat seems to find his description quite interesting.
"Quite interesting in fact, I'll let you stay instead of feeding you to My dogs." He smile innocently at valentine. Who's eyes widen in shock, the person turn around and start to walk away.
"Ghost can bring you to a room. Your rent, would be pay by a task or orders. Through you don't need to pay anything yet. I find no use of your help for a moment.... Till then, < Valentine of Core world > " the doctor disappear into a door, and the door disappear with him.
"What's going on...." Val cannot help but question many things yet he felt someone tap him the shoulder and he back away and look defensive as he stared yet to another look alive but this time he seems to be wearing a butler like outfit. Holding a notebook and saying.
[ I'm Ghost clown #01 of all purples. Please to meet you. Please come with me. I'll take you to your room ]
This person reminds him of a dark fae energy but he seems tame... He nodded his head and can't do anything and went to follow along.
It was the day where he come to the estate, a place full of alters of his that's here for a reason. But it's different reason than he have.
.
.
.
PRESENT
Two Days before the Dinner:
03:00 AM
Estate- Kitchen
- Valentine -
Val doesn't understand why he was force to stay up late to make chocolate with this crazy lunatic ( doctor ) when he could be enjoying sleep. But like anyone else can deny the orders of this bastard. So he is force to mix the big pot of chocolate as the doctor put lots of Crystal hearts that He ( Val) was force to farm from back in his world.
"I don't think that's..." Should be mix with the chocolate..' he wanted to say but. Keep the rest of the words as the doctor already putting something sparkle and something that look like a black hole inside a box to the pot, causing a smoll mushroom explosion of rainbows to happen, but Val already put defense magic before hand to not be effected by it and doctor is wearing a full biohazard suit.
So there's not much of effect cause to the two but did mess in the stove, it will be clean by Ghost tomorrow.... Probably.
"There's no "I don't think" people are just dumb to not even try~" doc said as he put "fish eggs"...????? To the pot before he close the lid. "Anyway, we just have to let it cook for like... 3 days." He stared at his watch before he look at the mess in the kitchen.
"Tell ghost to use the second kitchen and not this one. I don't want anyone entering this place when I'm out... Also go get clean up, you smell like unicorn waste mix with rotten golden duck eggs." He cover his nose through the mask as he step away from Val who felt very offended by what doc said cause clear this is the fault of his!!
"I--" he can't even say anything to complain when the others open a door that appear beside him and then walk through it, the door disappear as it closes. Val sighs as he look at the pot, he rub his fingers together out of nervousness and trying to stay warm. As he did that he suddenly realize what Doc mean that he stink.
"Ack... Aghn... SO STINKY!" His eyes water before he suddenly felt his skin is nothing but full of dirt and disgusting. He quickly went out of the kitchen and went to take a bath in his room, through he did passes by Niki who's chatting with Xeoren in the aquarium.
"That smell...." The undead monarch stared at the direction where val went in hurry before he stared at the sea folk in the aquarium who tapped a Morse code to him.
"So that [ doc ] is working on your wish?" Question Niki, the other nodded before yawning. "... I don't really understand how contract works, through I'm just a space renter in this place, a living in cook that help with that Ghost fellow.
"Oh well... Those sort of things will only cause me to be hungry." He mumble before he wave his hand farewell to his fish friend, going back to his "room" but went pass one of the doors that his well familiar with, but the owner of the room isn't in the estate anymore.
he notice the door is slightly open. Peaking inside, he saw his friend Solitaire with Kiseki sleeping peacefully, soli seems to be telling stories to Kiseki as there's a book in bed but the young child hugs hugs his blue dragon and pink swan stuff toy tightly in the sleep while in the arms of his father.
"Niki...?" He heard his friend called for him as he is a light sleeper. "Did something happen?" Soli ask in a low tone not wanting to wake up his child. "Nope. I was just roaming around. It's devils hours anyway. I'll go sleep later." The undead commented not wanting to disturb the two and quickly leaving the room.
He went to his room that was shared with the other undead in the estate, that person is rather... Tame at the moment staring at the window. Reflecting the moon.
"What's wrong Z...?" He appraoch the fellow undead who just stared silently in the moon. The other ignores him, and just stared at the moon.
"Well good night then." Niki sigh as he went to his side of the room and slept for the night. He still need to cook for breakfast with ghost in the morning after all.

honestly i just really like to put hoxton into situations but @velathetanager had an amazing player au which grew this horrible little seed. so thanks. i'd make a fic but without a pc it's not fun to type.
so. hoxton gets to know a payday 2 player. basically it's accidental and he overhears the mutterings of a player who's testing out a build or something. he's confused, but he's too busy to really question it. at least until jacket goes down and there's a very clear voice in his head going "damn ai pathing. someone come get me - HOXTON! HOXTON YOU STUPID BITCH come get my dead ass or - SYDNEY NO GET AWAY FROM THE TURRET! dammit sydney's down too fuuuck" and hoxton gets jacket back up and all is good. our player gets confused when hoxton in particular is becoming a smart bot. hoxton is hella confused about the voice but now he's realising how dumb his friends are being (minus jacket, who seems to be possessed). obviously our player puts hoxton permanently on to the bot crew.
hoxton doesn't get any good answers until he's back at the safehouse. as he hears jacket walking around fully armed and poking jimmy in the face (and since when was jiro fully mute, anyway?) he's standing in front of his fully completed conspiracy corkboard. jacket comes upstairs, punches a glass wall to come in and talks to dallas (who is unfazed) and then walks in to chat with clover (who would normally be chasing jacket out with a broom). hoxton stops jacket, calling out his name. jacket pauses, before the voice comes back in hoxton's head, "new voice line? i thought ovk ran out of money after paying pete gold for that hoxton christmas single." ok, christmas single? sure, hoxton had a christmas album that was in public circulation, but the single was still in the christmas cards waiting to be sent out.
is this weird voice someone who had hacked into bain's channels? and just selectively decided to drive hoxton crazy? that can't be it. bain would have known by now if that was the case. and the cryptic jargon this person was using... and who the fuck is pete gold?
while hoxton is considering this, jacket is circling him. "man, you're ugly," says the voice.
"WHO are you calling ugly?" hoxton snaps, fully expecting dallas or clover to shush him for the noise. neither of them are responsive. aldstone is still walking around the safehouse, nonchalantly walking through the broken glass wall. shit's getting weird.
jacket has paused, blinking somewhat owlishly. "uh. hox, you hear me?"
"yeah. who are you, and what do you want from me?"
"uh... shit, how do i explain this? um... consider me a god or something. yeah, that's our relation. this world is but a plaything to me. but you... you've received my divine favour! congratulations!" the voice is obviously making this shit up. but hoxton finds the explanation somewhat logical. it explains the weird behaviour of his friends. the knowledge and the cryptic words the voice uses.
"if i'm the one with 'divine favour' then why are you using jacket?"
"look, i had to commit one count of digital smuggling to pl- uh, possess him, ok? i can possess anyone i want. i just think jacket is funny."
"can you possess me then?" hoxton doesn't want this to happen. he just wants to know.
"yeah, but it's not as fun. you're actually helpful when we're heisting. plus, why not just leave you with the burden of knowing? i think it's more interesting that way. possession would just be a reprieve you don't deserve!" the voice cackles. the voice is an asshole. the possession of jacket is somewhat fitting.
"what do i get out of this divine favour then? an asshole who follows me around, talks to me in my head and makes my friends all weird?"
"look, i have to go make dinner soon, so your friends will be back to normal. and i'm much more useful than that! i can tell you things that you shouldn't know yet. but i'm considerate and i don't want to break your little brain." ok, that's fair. probably. hoxton had never considered the ethics of being a god that knew everything. he didn't consider much ethics at all.
"you can tell me something i don't know, right?"
"get ready for more election rigging and holding out!"
and with that, the voice leaves. jacket just keeps staring at hoxton. dallas starts screaming about the broken glass wall. aldstone calls a guy who can fix it.
hoxton needs a stiff drink. it's 9am on a thursday morning. he thinks he deserves it.

I know that I just posted something and probably shouldn’t post right after but.. if I don’t say this now I’ll most likely forget my train of thought later and never say anything
So, adding onto the constant sexualizing of re characters being something I dislike about the resident evil fandom, I have another thing I hate: those cringey Leon ai voice roleplay sex things.. you know what I mean
I do understand sexualizing Leon himself because, well, he’s hot and most of his fans are horny teenagers.. but why do u feel the need to use someone else’s voice, a REAL PERSONS VOICE, to say kinky stuff like that?? You know, the ones where Leon calls the listener stuff like slut, whore, bitch, ect, and even gets straight up abusive.. Not only is it really cringey (to me), you are using a real living humans voice to say and act out stuff like that.
Maybe I’m just overreacting or finding things to be angry about, but instead of using the VA’s voice to act out these abusive and lowkey disgusting scenarios, go on character ai or something
Oh yeah, another thing. Leave Leon’s face model alone pls

links of my favorite glee ai covers so far:
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZM2HTuM3y/ (the Unholy Trinity singing Shake it Off)
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZM2HTanup/ or https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZM2HT9r61/ (Dianna singing Wonderland)
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZM2HTUuWV/ (Dianna singing Lovefool... that song is so s2!Quinn coded to me)
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZM2HTDbGb/ (Lea singing Vampire)
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZM2HThC8Y/ (the glee cast singing We Don't Talk About Bruno)
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZM2HTQVbF/ (Cory and Melissa singing Anti-Hero)
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZM2HTkkFK/ (Naya singing Love on the Brain)
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZM2HTDUFj/ (Amber singing Love on Top)
but really, you can just search "glee ai cover" there and all of them (plus all the many others I didn't list) will show up! there are fans posting new Glee AI covers everyday rn, it's insane
The rabbit hole I just went down in thanks to you Anon omg. This is insane. Obviously they all sound autotuned, at best, and demonically robotic at worst but something like Dianna's voice is recreated with creepy accuracy. And Chris in We Don't Talk About Bruno! Holy shit. Dianna is a bit too nasal for what she actually sounds like but for someone familiar with their voices it's so easy to immediately recognize who it's supposed to be. A bit ironically I think this AI thing struggles the most with Naya; I can still hear that it's supposed to be her but it's one of the shaky ones. It's still crazy to quasi "hear" her, especially today of all days, 3 years after her passing.
Wonderland feat. the Unholy Trinity. Pls. And Marley on all these TS tracks, she's such a Swift vibe girlie. I'm still kinda freaked out by the AI of it all but holy shit if it can bring me Santana and Marley duet verses like the Sledgehammer one, well damn.
Here's my mini list of requests in case anyone reading this ever does one of these or contacts the people who do:
Marley and Santana doing Set Fire to the Rain
anything with Quinn and Kitty
Santana You Oughtta Know
Quinntana Wonderland maybe?
Brittana Iris
Santana Ocean Eyes pls I would die
Pezberry Bad Blood how is this not a thing already
Absolutely crazy to me that these can now become sort of reality.

Do we meet Class 78?
Tumblr media
*gets up* Well... I better head off, still thanks for listening to me and here you go.
Tumblr media
*Nagi gives Kyoji a gift* I hope this cheers you up and if you want, we can come here and hang out if anything is troubling you.
Tumblr media
Thanks... I think I do need that, it was nice talking to you as well Nagi. See you then... *Kyoji and Nagi walk their separate ways as Nagi heads back to the building*
Tumblr media
Wow... today change to a pretty good note, I'm happy to talk with someone and-.
???: C'mooon, don't do that! You have to understand gap moe lady Chihiro and Ayumi is very important for people like me!
Ayumi: For the last time Hifumi, we aren't doing that!
Tumblr media
...? *heards voices coming and she walks over*
Tumblr media
Look for the last time, she isn't going to be one of those fictional waifus or whatever you keep going on about! Chihiro just ask me if I can help with creating her!
Tumblr media
Bu-But still, there is such a thing as 'gap moe' and if your creating her then she must need an alternative skin like a bathing suit and even a beach motif too!
Tumblr media
Given your knowledge in video games, you likely have known about this, eh Miss Ayumi?
Tumblr media
We-Well yeah I know about those but Chihiro just ask me to help with some problem solving programming... that's it...
Tumblr media
Ex-Exactly, that's all I'm asking of Ayumi, given her knowledge in game designing I figure I ask her since I'm not good to solving puzzles.
Tumblr media
Pl-Plus I don't remember you being apart of this conversation Hifumi; you only got involved when I brought up creating an AI was going to be a girl.
Tumblr media
Wheheheee, as I've say before given my knowledge in 2D girls, I am more then qualify to help in this project of yours.
Tumblr media
That face your making doesn't help matters, it seems like you might have some evil intentions...
Tumblr media
Noooooo! Don't assume the worse of me Miss Ayumi! I'm wounded!
Tumblr media
... (Did I just walk in something? That fat guy seems weird...)

Context: Everett Steele has recently awakened from his coma after his AI consciousness escaped from "The Stitch" and was re-uploaded into Everett's mind. Because of the cognitive dissonance from two different "voices" of himself fighting in his mind, he no longer feels fully human. Rodri, an AI clone of his creator who has not yet felt comfortable enough to tell Everett the truth about his identity due to his complicated feelings, tries to think of a way to comfort him. But there's really only one thing to do…
"Am I… human?"
Rodri's hands still on his coffee mug, the tiny bubbles on the surface swirling slowly around the spoon. When he looks up he can see the moment that The Researcher melts away, just leaving behind Everett.
"Yes," Rodri says. "Of course you are human."
The way that Everett's sullen expression remains unchanged makes Rodri feel like he picked the wrong answer.
"I don't feel like I'm really… this body doesn't feel like it belongs to me anymore," Everett says. "I wake up each morning and I'm expecting to see metal hands and numbers floating in the corner of my eyes. There's a voice narrating my every move like a digital log. It's like there are two versions of me trying to live in the same body and that—that can't be normal, can it? It's wrong."
Rodri's hands leave his cup on the desk to press against his mouth, mind racing through all of the potential answers that pop into his head to choose the best one.
He takes too long. "Sorry," Everett says, bracing one hand on the arm of the chair and the other on his cane as he stands. "It was a stupid question."
"Wait," Rodri says, reaching his hand forward as though to pull Everett back into his seat, even though he’s too far to reach.
Everett doesn't sit back down, but he stays in place.
"I think," Rodri starts, chewing on his bottom lip as the last of his mental script clicks into place. "I think that… reactions to traumatic experiences are very complex. And it is within this complexity that we find the essence of humanity."
Everett’s head dips lower, and Rodri can no longer determine the meaning of his expression. "The version of me that was in the Stitch. He was complex, too,"Everett says. "He was… he was me and he wasn't. He thought like me but he didn't. And then when he came back… it felt like he didn’t want to be here."
"That 'other you,' do you think that he wasn't human?"
Elliot’s eyes tilt up in an uncharacteristic glare. "What's that supposed to mean? Of course he wasn't. He—I—we built him."
"I see." Rodri's hands form a tent in front of his mouth. "Do you think that my daughter is not human?"
Everett appears taken aback. "Isn't she?"
"Elysia and I built her. We combined our DNA in a lab and used electrical stimulation to activate her growth before I implanted her into my uterus and took pregnancy hormones. Her creation was facilitated, not natural, so by that definition, she may not be considered—"
"But she has DNA, and a body, and a brain, and—"
"Well, so do you. If that's the only criteria, then I think that easily qualifies you as human."
"It's not the same!" Rodri jumps when Everett raises his voice. "It isn't… it's that. It's that voice. It's the other me that isn't me but it is, and it's not supposed to be here and it doesn't want to be here but it is, and I…"
Everett's voice trails off and his gaze once again falls back to the floor. Rodri doesn't have to ponder for a response this time, but he feels his guts tying themselves in knots at the realization of what he wants to say next. What he needs to say, even though he's been telling himself that it's too risky since the day they met.
Every single life tucked into his mind is flashing before his eyes in an instant. He understands being foreign in his own body, feeling like he shouldn't be privy to some of the intimate memories that were shared with him from a person who isn't quite someone else. He understands because all too often he is the voice, shouting that this isn't right, trapped in a place that he shouldn't ought to be.
"I'm like you," Rodri finally says, because it's all he can manage to voice in between all of the other information.
Everett looks up at him, eyes searching his face for something that Rodri can't see. "You mean you also… from our time in the Stitch?"
"No," Rodri says. "No, I'd say it's been much longer than that."
His heart is beating in his throat as he stands up from behind his desk and crosses over to where Everett is standing. He pulls at the band kept carefully around the hair at the base of his neck until it falls loose, reaching out to grab Everett's free hanging hand. The eye contact feels too intense as he guides Everett's fingers to the port protruding from the base of his skull, but he forces himself to maintain it.
Everett's breath hitches in his throat when his fingers brush metal, nearly flinching away were it not for Rodri's hand holding him in place.
"What is this?" Everett whispers.
"My port. It's where all of my memories are uploaded into my mindframe, and all of his memories were uploaded into me."
"But you're… you're human. I've seen you, I've felt you, I've been…"
"My body is human. And so was Dr. Cancar's. But the mind, the memories, everything up here," Rodri points to his head with his other hand, "it's both of us."
Everett shakes his head slightly like he doesn't quite believe what he's hearing. "What does that mean?"
"The technology that we used, the reason why we could make your project possible, Dr. Cancar's greatest pride and accomplishment. It was me. I was his breakthrough."
"You're… a clone?"
"Yes."
"And a… a machine?"
"I suppose you could say that, in some respects, a machine has shaped who I am."
"But does that make you…"
"Human?" Rodri finishes for him. His eyes find the ceiling and the hand holding Everett's drops away, though Everett still holds onto him with a rigid grip. "You know I'm not very good at lying," Rodri says. "And I don't like to play pretend. So I will not stand in front of you with confidence and say yes."
Rodri doesn't understand why his throat starts to feel tighter as he speaks. He doesn't like it when his emotions try to show through, because whenever they manage to get out they run far outside of his control. But he can't stop the wave that crashes over him and it's only Everett's hand that keeps him standing on his feet.
"Dr. Cancar was so happy, when he realized he could recreate a person—thoughts, memories, flaws and all. He thought that I was perfect in my imperfections, that I was as good as him, like a continuation of his consciousness that would live on after he died and continue to live for as long as there were copies of this body to fill with his mind. But I—" Rodri's eyes flutter as he recognizes the tears threatening to fall down his face. "But I'm not. I'm so far away from everything he was. Everything he wanted."
Everett finally lets his hand fall from the back of Rodri's neck, pulling it forward to caress his cheek.
"I feel like I ask myself every day, what exactly it is that I am," Rodri whispers. "His voice tells me what he thinks I'm supposed to be. Tells me so loudly what it is he thinks we are. And how am I supposed to tell him that we aren't what he was expecting. I'm… someone else now. And whoever or whatever it is that I am now, I couldn't tell you if that's human."
Rodri's eyes slip closed and he feels hot tears falling from them. Everett's hand pulls him closer, until Rodri's head is resting on his shoulder.
Rodri turns his head slightly and leans into Everett's neck. It smells faintly like his cologne, the same one that he'd been wearing that one night at the coffee shop years ago.
"It doesn't matter to me what you are," Rodri whispers. "It doesn't change the way I think about you. The way I feel. Even if you've changed, everything you are now still came from the same place, and that's the part that I care about. But I don't know how much that could possibly mean to you now, knowing who I really am."
Everett takes in a shuddering breath and doesn't answer for a while, but when he does his words are barely more than the shapes of his mouth. "It means the world."
Rodri's hands find Everett's shoulders and he makes fists in Everett's vest, feeling like his knees will give out at any moment. He's so overwhelmed, and his words are starting to fail him. He's had to chain far too many of them together, and their weight tugs his body down to the floor like shackles of iron. He doesn't feel his knees hitting the carpet, or the sound of Everett's cane dropping as he's dragged down with him, but he does feel Everett's arms wrapping around him tight and firm, like a brace against a broken bone.
"Thank you, for telling me," Everett murmurs against Rodri's hair. "And I'm sorry."
Rodri shakes his head. Everett had nothing to be sorry for. If anything, Rodri should be apologizing for his behavior, letting his own trauma get in the way when Everett was seeking out comfort.
"I mean it," Everett says. "I should have… I've known for a long time that you're different. Not just because of how you were… not just because of all of this. Fuck, I keep messing this up."
"No," Rodri says, shaking his head again and frustrated with himself that he can't say any more than that.
"What I want to say is, the reason I came to you in the first place was because I thought, for whatever reason, that you would be able to understand me. You're the only person here who could possibly know what I'm going through and I didn't even realize it was so much more than that. And then I went and made you cry."
Rodri wants to tell him it isn't true, that he only failed to keep a handle on himself and Steele couldn't take any responsibility for Rodri's own emotions.
"But the truth is I'm so, so happy," Everett continues. "Because you are the realest person that I have ever met. And I…" Steele trails off, neck bobbing as he swallows. His voice barely comes out as a whisper then he tries to speak again. "I was so scared, that this would make me lose you."
"Never," Rodri says. "It would never."

tw : anxiety, heart palpitations and panic attack
My Heart Is Yours, So Hold Me Forever
Tumblr media
My Heart Is Yours
“Boss, I have to inform you that the boy’s heart is beating faster than usual.”, FRIDAY alerts Tony while he’s working in the lab. Tony stops, the boy ?
“Fri, are you talking about Peter ?”, he asks, frowning. Why is his AI calling Peter ‘the boy’? “Affirmative, Sir.”, his creation answers. Tony tries not to start to worry.
“Is he patrolling or doing any exercices ?”, the man asks, still trying to not panic yet. Is Peter in danger ? Where he is ? He’s supposed to be at school at this hour of the day. He shouldn’t be patrolling. Which would mean he-
“He presently is locked in the bathroom of his high school, Boss. From the vitals Karen just transmitted me, it appears he’s not in danger, but his body shows several signs of panic and anxiety.”, Tony hears her voice echoes in his brain. Shit. What happened ?
In less time that Tony would have taken to even walk to his kitchen, he’s in the suit flying to Peter’s school. He tries not to let his heart race too much. Peter’s probably having a panic attack or something. He can’t allow himself to have one too. Not right now.
Tony doesn’t even care that people could see him almost running in a high school. He just cares about Peter.
When he opens the boys’s toilets’s door, the first thing he hears is small sniffles. “Pete?”, he says softly, not to scare the poor thing. Tony hears the boy’s breath stopping suddenly.
“Mr- Mr. Stark ? Is that you ?”, a small cracking voice asks. He’s been crying. Tony closes the first door and completely enters the bathroom. “Yeah it’s me kiddo.”, the man answers in an almost whisper, still trying to sound like he’s not worried.
“What… What are you- ? Why are you here ?”, Peter whines, almost like he’s gonna cry again, he’s a bit breathless. So Tony was right, was Peter having a panic attack ?
“Please I’d like better not to talk to an orange school door toilet, Pete. Get out of there.”, Tony says and as soon as he hears a small sob, he realizes he’s being a bit harsh. Shit. He has to control his damn worry.
“Im sorry, kid. Fri alerted me you were panicking. What happened Peter ?”, he finally questions, trying not to stress the boy. There’s no direct answer, but another sniffing. Tony doesn’t push it. He wants to, but he doesn’t. He gives Peter enough time to speak.
“I- I don’t really know… I.. my heart is- just beating so fast right now, and my stomach is so clenched and I feel like I can’t breathe.”, Peter explains after a few seconds, Tony hears the trembling in his voice, he wonders if it’s because of his heart beating fast or because he cried.
“It’s alright, Peter… Hey, can you get out of there for me please ?” There’s another silence, Peter’s breath is louder, shakier. Tony’s shoulders release a bit of their tension when he finally hears the ‘click’ of the door’s lock.
But the view before him almost breaks his heart. Peter’s eyes are red, his cheeks are read too, and he’s literally trembling, a hand clenching on his shirt just where his heart is at. And Tony just wants to hug him and never let go. Fuck, when did he become that protective with Peter ? He’s seen people in so much worse state. And yet, his protection instinct never were that strong.
“Sweetheart…”, he lets slip. It only adds more tears to Peter’s eyes. “Im sorry…”, the boy mumbles, looking down.
“Hey. None of that. Can you tell me what happened ?”, the man asks, still restraining himself to pull Peter close to him. Shit, Stark get a hold on yourself. But again, Peter only seems to have more and more difficulties to breathe.
“Hey, Hey, it’s alright Peter. Breathe for me please ? In and out ? You’re alright buddy, it’s alright.”. Tony’s soft voice seems to work out a bit on Peter. But the hand on his heart is still there. FRIDAY told him Peter’s heartbeats were reaching 160 bpm, which is definitely too fast for someone who’s just standing in a bathroom.
Peter opens his mouth and lets out a shaky breath before speaking. “I don’t know what happened, it- it happens lots those days and I don’t know why, im just getting really anxious and then I feel like I can’t do anything, I get- those, my heart, it’s being like this for no reasons, and it scares me. I feel like Im gonna have a heart attack.”, he explains in one shot, voice still trembling. Tony shushes him. But Peter continues. “And my tummy feels like- clenched and I hear my heart echoing in my whole body right now, it hurts my chest and my back. And-”
“Peter.”, Tony cuts him. “Please, you have to breathe.”
The boy does what Tony asked him to. He’s still trembling. Tony sighs. “Calm down okay ? You’re safe right now.”
“I know Im safe, Mr. Stark! That’s the issues, I don’t know why, and I think- I think you’re making it worse, I don’t know what triggered it, I can’t calm my heart, I feel like it’s gonna explode in my chest.”, Peter blurts out once again. The man tries not to get upset by Peter saying he’s making this worse.
And then Peter’s eyes start to water again. “Im- I think Im having a heart attack Mr. Stark, I can’t- I can’t breathe.”. Tony’s own heart clenches at that. “Shhh, Pete… You’re not having a heart attack, you can breathe, you’re doing perfect right now Sweetheart.”, this one petname was volunteer. Tony hates to admit it, but he damn knows how much those affect Peter. But the boy just seems to get more and more anxious, he’s even starting to get away from Tony, stepping back. Tony stares at the boy’s hand, still clenching hard on his shirt, like he needed to feel how fast his heart was beating.
“Pl-Please, make it stop, I- I left the class without even asking if I could, the teacher is gonna send May something, and it’s worse, you make it worse, Mr. Stark, please.”, Peter starts to full cry now, his body trembling even more. Okay, that’s it. Tony thinks.
“Pete, can I touch you ?”, he still asks, not to startle him even more. Peter doesn’t answer but he nods. “Okay turn around and take your shirt off.”, he orders, voice still soft. That gets a reaction out of Peter.
“What ?”, he says dumbly, he can’t blush because his cheeks are already red but Tony hates that he wished they weren’t just so he could see the red creeping in the boy’s cheeks at that. And then he hates himself, thinking like that when Peter clearly isn’t feeling okay.
“Do what I say, Pete, Im not gonna do anything, I promise.”, he tries to reassure the boy. God, he knows how that sounds.
Peter stays silent for a little while and then actually does take his shirt off. In front of Tony, before turning away from him. Tony tries not to stare. He’s being the worst right now., but then Peter actually turns around and facing the boy’s back makes it easier for Tony to remember why he’s doing this.
Peter lets another sobs. “My chest- it burns, I can’t calm it down, why is-”, he starts but Tony cuts him again.
“Shhh, I want you to forget your heart, Pete. You forget your heartbeats and focus on my finger, alright ? Im gonna write words in your back, baby. And the only thing you have to do is to guess the letters, and then the word, okay ? Im sure you already played this game before.”, he explains, still making effort to keep his voice soft and reassuring for Peter.
Tony knows Peter really isn’t in his normal state when he doesn’t hears the awkward response he would have said in a normal situation if Tony said he’d draw letters on his bare back. The only thing he gets is Peter nodding again and whispering a small, shaky ‘Kay.’.
Tony puts a hand on the boy’s shoulder, to ground him. And then, with his second hand, he draw a ‘W’ on Peter’s back. He sees Peter’s skin shivering but it’s the only thing he gets.
“Pete, what letter did I just draw ?”, he asks, patiently. “Huh.. I- I don’t know.”
“Shhh, it’s okay, Im gonna do it again, okay ? Please focus on my finger on your back.”, Tony whispers before doing another ‘W’ on Peter’s back. He hates how smooth his finger feels against that sweet skin.
“W ?”, Peter asks and Tony smiles, praising a soft ‘yeah that’s good, perfect.’, before drawing an ‘E’.
Peter’s body and breath are still shaky, but the latest doesn’t come out as sobs anymore. This time, he guesses on the first shot. “E.”, he says, voice still sick. Tony hums and draws a ‘B’.
“Are- Are you gonna write webs ?”, the boy asks finally. Tony hides a laugh. “Smart boy. It’s what came to my mind first. But the game is more about focusing on each letter, less about finding the word, Pete. Just focus on the way my finger feels on your back, huh ?”. The man hates how that sounds again. But it’s what Peter has to do, so he nods. He started with a short words on purpose so Peter doesn’t get overwhelmed by the task.
Tony draws a ’S’ and then leaves his hand on Peter’s back. He doesn’t ask if Peter’s heart feels less like it’s gonna explode. Peter has to focus on something else.
“Alright, Im gonna start a new word now okay ?”, Tony prevents. He thanks the lord that it’s classes hours because it’s probably safe from anyone entering the bathroom right now. God- What would it even look like ? Plus, it’d just throw Peter in an even more stressing situation.
Next, Tony goes with ‘P-E-A-C-H’, just because he can smell Peter’s peachy shampoo from there. The boy seems already more calmed down. No more sobs, breath more regular, trembling almost gone. They don’t talk about anything else but the ‘game’, Peter tells letters and words, and Tony praises.
’H-O-N-E-Y’ He’ll be damned, he doesn’t even care.
‘V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N’
Every time Tony starts a new word, he sees Peter’s back shivering. But he doesn’t care, because Peter looks better. Sounds better. He can feel how relaxed the boy starts to be with the hand that’s still on his shoulder.
’S-A-N-D-W-I-C-H’ Peter even laugh, saying that now he’s hungry.
And Tony goes for the last one, because it worked, Peter’s not panicking anymore. ’S-W-E-E-T-H-E-A-R-T’. Yes, two petnames, he’s already damned anyway.
“Sweetheart ?”, Peter says in a weak voice. And it’s the first time he asks a question. Because he’s not searching for approval. He’s asking if the sweetheart is him. Tony decides to ignore that, pretending he didn’t understand and praises him for finding the right word.
“Turn around now, Pete.”, he orders gently. Peter’s eyes aren’t frantic, his mouth isn’t twisted, he still have red cheeks, but Tony guesses it’s because of- anyway. “It… It worked, my heart feels normal again. My stomach too. I… Thank you, Mr. Stark.”, Peter says, hesitantly, looking- looking at Tony with eyes that makes him wanna protect him forever. “I… I liked the- your hand, on my back.”
And it’s too much, Tony can’t help it, without Peter even having any time to realize it, Tony pulls him close in a hug. It takes a second for Peter to wrap his arms against the man too. Tony may be hugging him too tight, he doesn’t care. He just cares about having Peter here, close, safe. They don’t say anything, they just keep hugging like it was the last time they would see each other.
And automatically, Tony’s hand finds his way to Peter’s hair. The sound Peter makes, and tries to hide by sinking his head deeper in Tony’s chest, sends butterflies into Tony’s stomach. Fucking butterflies. What is he ? 12 ?
They stay a bit more like this, Tony petting Peter’s hair, his hand snarling into the boy’s soft curls. It’s like magic. Because it appeases both of them. Peter doesn’t even bother to hide the purrs coming out of his mouth, and Tony- Tony is melting.
It’s lasting too much. Tony’s hand slides into the boy’s neck and he feels Peter’s skin shivering again. Stop., he tells himself. Stop before you cross the damn line, Stark. But fuck, the line is so blur right now.
Fuck, don’t.
With his other hand he tilts Peter’s head up, moving themself just a bit further but now they’re facing each other. Tony closes his eyes. Peter’s cheeks are so red, his eyes are just- begging him to do it. He can’t. He can’t look because he’s about to do the biggest mistake of his whole life, and it’s saying lots.
“Mr. Stark… Please ?”, Peter finally whispers, voice just demanding, his breath caressing the man’s face. Tony’s eyes open on their own.
Fuck it.
And the next thing both of them can understand is that their lips are against each other’s. Tony can’t believe he’s doing this. Peter can’t believe this is happening. But both of them just can’t fight it anymore. Peter’s body suddenly wraps around Tony’s and the man clenches his hands around Peter’s back hard. He wants Peter to be closer, he wants Peter to be safe, he wants Peter to be his, he wants Peter.
It’s sloppy, Peter doesn’t know how to kiss. Tony doesn’t mind. No, it’s a lie, Tony knows he’s Peter’s first kiss and it awakes something dangerously warm inside him.
The small choked noises Peter is doing right now are gonna stay graved in Tony’s memory forever. It’s so good, it feels like liberty and flying. For both of them. It feels like there’s a fire, and both of them are into it, but it’s not a bad burning, it’s a beautiful burning.
And when the kiss stops, for them to breathe, Tony sees the most beautiful thing in the world in front of him. And this beautiful thing is looking at him like he just hung the moon.
“I- Im- Oh my god, Im so sorry Mr. Stark, I didn’t want t-”, Peter starts, stuttering and panicking again but Tony puts a finger on his mouth, shushing him immediately.
“Shhh, we don’t want you to have another crisis don’t we ?”, he says. And then there’s a silence. A loud one. Peter looks like he’s about to cry again. Tony has a choice to make. A big one. Two solutions, only one of them is reasonable.
“Let’s move to the compound, Pete. Not sure you’d appreciate one of your teacher seeing you kissing Tony Stark.”, he finally says. Yeah, Tony isn’t really known for making reasonable choices. But when he sees the boy’s face lightning up in front of him, it really doesn’t matter anymore.
So Hold Me Forever
Peter was having a great day. It’s summertime and he, MJ And Ned went to the public swimming pool -yes, he told Tony they wanted to go there and not in the penthouse’s swimming pool-, and now they’re eating in a fast-food. Holidays just started, no more school, no more homework, no more exam, yeah, Peter is definitely having a great day.
The boy was threatening MJ to give him back his fries when he felt his heart clenching hard.
Oh no.
That must have reflected on his face because suddenly, both Ned and MJ are asking him if he’s alright.
“I- I gotta go, guys, sorry, I’ll maybe catch with you later!”, Peter hurries before literally jumping from his seat and rushing out. He knows it’s a lie. He know he definitely won’t come back. Because Tony is having a panic attack right now.
Fuck. If it wasn’t for his spidey sense, he wouldn’t even have known. Meaning that Tony told FRIDAY not to alert him.
“Fuck you Tony…”, he mumbles, already swinging his way back to the compound. In those moments, Peter wished he had an armor like Tony to go faster.
When he finally arrives, he asks FRIDAY to localise Tony and then rushes to the lab. Tony is there, sat on the floor, back against the wall, breathing loudly. That vision makes Peter wanna throw up. He knows he can’t panic, he knows he can’t touch Tony, so he gently crouches in front of him.
“Tony, hey…”, he whispers, just not to startle the man. When their eyes meet, the boy’s jaw clenches because of how scared Tony looks.
“K- Kid, Pe-Pete. Get- Get o-”, the man tries to say, but Peter shushes him. “Stop talking, Im not going anywhere Tony, Im right here.”. Peter tries to control the shakiness in his voice.
He’s mildly happy to see Tony trying to nod. But if the man doesn’t put up a fight for Peter not to see him like this, then it’s that it’s really serious.
“Okay, Tony please I want you to breathe okay ? Can you breathe ? In and out ? In. In, Tony. Breathe please…”, he murmurs despite his state. But Tony doesn’t really show any respond to what he said, he’s not even looking at him. The boy sighs, fighting the tears. Not the fucking time to act like a baby, Parker. And he crabs both of Tony’s wrist.
Tony jumps, and finally locks his eyes into Peter’s. “Pet-Peter…”
“You’re okay, you’re okay Tony. It’s just a panic attack. You know what you have to do when you got those, right ? You gotta breathe. C’mon… No. Keep staring at me, please. Okay now, now-”, but Peter stops himself to take a breath. He hates seeing the man like this. “Now you gotta copy how Im breathing okay ?”, the boy asks. He shouldn’t ask, he should order.
“Honey.”, he says instead, softly. Tony still has his eyes locked into Peter’s. Peter’s still holding both of his wrist. It’s fucking scary to feel how much Tony’s shaking. He’s glad he has his superstrength, because he’s able to maintain Tony. The petname does it because Tony nods again, making a distress sound that clenches Peter’s heart so hard.
“Okay, good Tony, c’mon, like me please.”, Peter whispers before starting to breathe loudly. Calmly, but loudly, so Tony can focus on it enough to try to copy it.
“Don’t let my eyes down, Tony. Please, you always says you love my eyes. So focus on them, please. You can stare and then make fun of me because of that yellow spot I hate okay ?”, he panics a bit. Peter hates that he’s rambling even in time like this. But he just wants Tony to focus only on his face and breathing.
“Can’t-”, Tony starts but cuts himself before speaking again. “Can’t breathe.”, he manages to say. And suddenly, Peter’s lips are on his. It’s not a kiss. It was either that, either a hand on his mouth. But it just looks a bit less frightening than if Peter was stopping Tony from breathing through his mouth.
A few seconds pass before Peter moves back to his initial position. “Keep your mouth shut, Tony.”, he gently orders. “Okay, now Imma ask you the same thing but only breathing through your nose okay ?”
Tony nods again, so Peter starts breathing loudly through his nose. He forces Tony’s hands down and sits completely in front of him. Peter doesn’t even know how he can keep his breathing calm, because he just wanna burst into tears, but he does.
The man finally tries to copy the slow breathing. At first it doesn’t work because Tony’s breathless but they keep going, in silence. Just Peter holding his wrists and keeping eyes contact.
It takes a few minutes but Tony does calm himself a bit. Not enough for it to be done, but enough for practically having the same breathing pace as Peter.
So that’s a step done. Peter feels a bit calmer already. Having Tony like that in front of him is pretty scary. And he’s also always scared he won’t be able to help him. The first time Tony had a panic attack, Peter was so lost he had to call Rhodey.
A few seconds go by, still in a loud-breathing-silence and then Peter gets up. Tony follows his eyes up. “What… What are you doing kid ?”, kid. Tony doesn’t really call him like that anymore -expect for a few times in bed because c’mon that’s kinky-. If he does right now, it’s because he’s still not completely aware of the situation, still panicking. The boy gives him his hand. Tony grabs it without questioning it. And Peter pulls him up, again thanks to his superstrength. “I need you up for this.”, Peter fakes chuckles. He wants his boyfriend to know it’s okay. All of this. “It’s okay.”
And then Tony is up, legs still shaking a bit. “Friday, how’s Tony’s heart doing please ?”, he asks to the AI. “Still going faster than it should for its own good.”, that makes the boy nods.
Peter stares at him and remembers Tony actually asked him for touching permissions when he had heart palpitations. “Are you okay for me to touch you Tony ?”, he questions with a soft smile. “Yeah I am, Pete…”, the man answers, voice half breathless, half joking. And suddenly Peter’s hugging Tony. Hard. Both of their chests are glued together.
Peter hears Tony’s air stops before coming back more as a sigh. He wonders if it’s a good sign. He isn’t even sure if what he’s doing right now is helpful or no. But technically that should work.
Tony passes a hand on the boy’s neck, stroking gently the beginning of his soft curls. Peter shivers. That’s perfect. His own heart needs to be calm for this, Tony is making it calm. Because feeling the man’s one stammering against his chest definitely doesn’t help.
“Im not… Im not sure why the hug, but it does feel good, Pete”, Tony chuckles softly. He tries to act like it’s done. Peter knows it’s not. Their body are clenched against each other, he can feel the trembling everywhere.
“It’s not just a hug, we have to stay like that, okay ? It… It helps.”, Peter mumbles, not so sure he wants to explain to Tony. “What helps ? Hug ? Love ? Im.. Im sure it does, P-Pete, you did good there.”, the man tries to praises him. Peter clenches his teeth. It’s him who should praise Tony for being able to follow what Peter asked.
“You did good actually Tony. Not me. And it’s… not about hug or love. It’s about… about the fact that when two people hug, their hearts are against each other, the skin is the only barrier. And the human heart has this thing you know ? To copy beats. Like with music, when there’s loud beats, the heart tends to- anyway. What I mean is that, your heart is beating really fast right now, too fast. And mine is okay. So when we hug, like this, both of our hearts will try to copy each other’s beat. So yours should go back to a normal pace more quickly than if we just waited for it to. And it’s also nicer. T- To hug, I mean. Than to like… just wait.”, Peter finishes and wants to slaps himself for not being able to not ramble. He knows his cheeks are red and hates that.
But when his eyes go up to meet Tony’s, all he can read here is love. “Sweetheart…”, Tony whispers. But he doesn’t add anything else. However he kisses the top of Peter’s head. Again, it’s gestures that appease both of them.
“Let’s stay like this, then. So your heart can-”, the boy starts but gets cuts by Tony. “Yeah staying like that sounds perfect to me, Honey.”
So they stay. Both of them wouldn’t have any idea of how many time they stayed like this, holding each other, waiting for Tony’s heart to beat at a normal pace again. It seems like forever and just- out of time at the same time. Slowly, their position shifts a bit. Peter watches carefully that both of their hearts are still perfectly against each other, but he lets his head fall against Tony’s shoulder. Tony has his leaned on Peter’s. The man’s hands are on Peter’s hair and the boy’s ones are slowly caressing his back.
It’s finally FRIDAY’s voice who interrupt them. “Boss, your heartbeats seem to have found a slow pace again.”, she says, making them jump at the same time, stirring them out of that headspace they both went to.
Peter steps back a bit and study Tony’s face. There’s no visible signs of panic anymore. “How are you feeling ?”, he can’t help but ask. “Could be better, but could have been way worse if you haven’t showed, Pete.”, Tony smiles, creating butterflies in Peter’s stomach. “Thank you, my babyboy.”, the man adds with a smile, a fondly smile. Peter opens his mouth but nothing goes out. Tony takes his hand and brings them to the couch.
It’s easy. It’s easy to forget what just happened when Tony brings them close, under a pile of blankets on the couch. But Peter doesn’t.
“Tony… What… What happened ? Why did you… What triggered the panic attack ?”, he finally asks. Because he wants to know. Because he worries. Because he loves him. And he wants Tony to share everything with him. The good and the bad. Tony’s first silent answer is to tighten his grip around the boy’s body. Not in a bad way, more in an affectionate way. Peter wants to say ‘You don’t have to tell me.’, not to pressure Tony into saying anything, but he needs to know.
“Let’s say I… St- Rogers sent me a letter.”, Tony tells finally. Without adding anything else. He doesn’t have to. He doesn’t want to either. And that’s where Peter won’t cross the line. He got his answer. He sees Tony’s gaze wandering away and immediately comes up with something to bring him back. “Did you read it ?”, Peter questions, to tell Tony he doesn’t have to explain more. Because Peter knows. Peter knows what happened after his first battle with and against the team. And he knows how it fucked Tony up, he saw how it fucked Tony up.
“No.”, short answer. Message received.
“Okay… Thank you for telling me Tony.”, Peter practically purrs against him, showing that now they can both move on from that. But Tony apparently doesn’t catch it. “Peter, Im sorry you ha-”
“Don’t.”, Peter cuts him almost harshly. Tony shoots him a look. “Don’t say you’re sorry. I hated seeing you like that. But I would have hated it so much more if I wouldn’t have been able to help you Tony. Let me help. I wanna share those things with you. Not just the soft, not just the huh.. sexy stuff, but also this. I don’t want you to hide this part of you from me, Tony. I.. I love you. You. Not you minus your… this. You, entirely.”, Peter almost whines, fighting back the tears again. He expected Tony to shush him orally, but no. Tony leans on and kisses him.
It’s a real kiss this time, not like the one Peter did just to make Tony breathe through his nose. Peter kisses him back. It’s slow, it’s loving, just the kind of kisses both of them need right now. Peter feels so good. When Tony breaks the kiss, still staring at Peter, the smile he got makes the boy wanna bury his head against his chest. “I love you too, Petey Pie. My smart boy…”, he whispers before giving Peter another small smack on his lips.
Then they both go back to lying down, cuddled against each other under the blankets. There’s a comfortable silence. But Peter breaks it again. “If there’s something you should feel sorry about is not alerting me when this happened, Tony. Please… Promise me you will next time. Please.”, he mumbles again, hiding his head in one of the blankets.
The boy hears Tony sighing, a silence, and then “Sorry. Im gonna let you know from now on… Promise, kiddo.”. Peter only raises his head up and kisses Tony’s cheeks.
“How did you know ?”
Shit.
“How did I know what ?”, he tries, dumbly.
“How did you know I was having a panic attack ?”, Tony clarifies. Peter didn’t need him too. He just, feels so stupid for this. It’s like, proving Tony how much everything in him just loves him.
The boy lowers his head down and murmurs a faint “It’s… It’s a huh… spidey sense thing. I kinda can… feel when you… when you’re not okay or stuff.”. Admitting it makes his cheeks turn red again.
But Tony only cups his cheek with his warm hand, raising Peter’s head again so he can look at Tony’s eyes. “Baby… You have no idea what knowing that just did to me. I love you, Peter. My heart is yours.”, the man says in all honesty, feeling way too many emotions at once.
Hearing that almost makes Peter cries. He’s happy. He’s in love. “So hold me forever.”, he whispers before Tony just surrounds him with his own warm body and blankets.

in relation to my drowsy share, anyway can we have the rfa + minor trio's take on an mc that is so crazy for a fictional character meanwhile they are in love with mc? they be like: hELLo - crackhead anon
Hey there crackhead anon! I’ve missed yaaaaa
RFA+minor trio with an MC who is in love with fictional characters (instead of them *insert sad violin music*)
Part 2 here!
Zen:
Aight listen
At first he’s chill about it
He just thinks you don’t know how to pick up hints, because he’s literally been flirting with you for a while now
But then, after time passes and you still don’t realize he’s hitting on you, and you’re still sort of fangirling over this fictional character, he WILL be a bit mad
I mean why do you need to romance 2d boys when he’s there??? Do you just not like him??? What was wrong with him, mC pLeAsE
Truth be told, he will try and act like your anime/game character. He WILL do it, all he can to get you to understand he LIKES you
You like angry bois? He will become an angry boy. Tsunderes? Well, it’s not like he l-likes you or anything baka! Cool flirty type? He will up his game
Although it takes a while, Zen finds out one of your favorite confessions from your favorite game, and decides to copy it! He will be all romantic and everything
Thankfully you were FINALLY able to understand that he likes you, and it’ll probably be a funny story you tell everyone in the RFA
Yoosung:
Angry boi angry boi
Yoosung has never flirted in his life
Well, he’s not good at it, it’s not something he has really done before
Imagine the PAIN this poor guy must be through when he finally takes the courage to flirt and...
You don’t get it
HOW?
Zen has even tried giving Yoosung some advice, which usually works,but you’re still not picking up his hints!
One day Yoosung finds you smiling at your phone screen and he’s lowkey ready to fuck a bitch up
But then he sees you’re playing a game... ANS GETS EVEN MORE JEALOUS
I mean, come on! You’re choosing an AI over him? Why MC WHY T_T
After curling up in his bed and crying for three hours, Yoosung decided to just tell you and get it over with.
He was really scared, and his hands shook as he dialed up your number.
You immediatly answered, which made him let out a little yelp, and after a bit of stammering Yoosung decided to confess his feelings for you.
“I...I love you Y/N. And, I-I know I’m not exactly your type of guy...like the ones in your game. I’m not really like...like them but I, I promise I will do my best to become the type of man you want to be with!”
....
“Y/N please speak I am panicking.”
You laughed. “It’s alright Yoosung. Truth is...I like you too...and you’re exactly like the guy in my game, why do you even think I was romancing him? You don’t have to change, I love you for who you are.”
Yoosung tried his best to hold back his tears, and after the two of you hung up he gave a little WHOOP
Jaehee:
So, Jaehee was really taken aback when she realized that she had feelings for you. After all, she never really thought about having a partner before
She was really new to the experience. Sure, she had been confessed to in her high school days (I mean look at her she probably got so many love letters AHG) but that was all she knew.
So she went to Zen for advice, which was great! The thing neither of you had planned though, was that you would be far too focused on your anime waifus to realize that Jaehee was flirting with you
Honestly she isn’t even mad. She’s just confused. I mean, she gets what it’s like idolizing someone, but I mean, Zen was real.
So Jaehee lays low for a while. To be honest, she feels a bit jealous whenever you gush and fawn over this character, or this other character, because your eyes light up in such a beautiful way, she can’t help but want them to light up like that for her.
After months and months, Zen finally decides to tell you that Jaehee likes you. He had taken you out to dinner, and you almost dropped your fork when he told you.
Immediatly, he drove you to Jaehee’s house. She came out in her cute pijamas, with no glasses on. You were honestly about to die.
After saying bye (and thanks) to Zen, you went to sit with Jaehee in her living room, and there you confessed your feelings for her. Jaehee was super confused,after all you would never shut up about the character you liked, and she really believed she had no shot. Yet, here you are, confessing to her. Jaehee can’t help but smile and blush.
She will always tease you about your character crushes, but she understands you. She has even found a few of her own! (But she’ll never tell you.)
Jaehee thinks it’s really funny how you never understood that she was trying to give you hints, or even the time she used a pick up line on you (Zen’s idea) and you two laugh about it when you lay in bed, cuddling.
Jumin:
He is very confused
First of all, he’s dealing with a LOT of emotions right now
And then second, when he decided to express his feelings for you, you don’t really understand?
Which is super confusing, I mean, it always works in his soap operas
Instead though, you are in love with a fictional character.
Excuse me what?
Jumin really doesn’t understand
MC he’s fake pls love me
Honestly I think this would lead to a really funny montage of Jumin buying you super expensive things, and making the biggest romantic gestures, while you just remain clueless as to what’s going on lol
He gets a whole orchestra to play your favorite song, he always gets you your favorite flowers or chocolates, he’s always doing the most romantic things he can find on the internet! (Yes he had to look up how to flirt lol)
One day, you’re both talking on the phone, and it’s late at night. The moon and stars are getting the both of you super sentimental, and at one point while Jumin is looking out into the balcony, he smiles and then whispers your name.
You immediatly stop talking and blush like crazy. Then, before you could say anything else, he starts speaking again.
“Y/N. There’s something really important I have to tell you. In all my life...no one has ever gotten to make me...make me feel so much. I’ve always been told to bury my emotions, to never show them. Then you came along and I found that I could never stop myself from...from feeling...I’ve never felt like this before, the feeling of loving someone, of cherishing someone. They weren’t feelings I hadn’t known until I met you. You have changed my life. And I mean it, Y/N. I have become more open, it’s as if my heart was a frozen lake and then you came and melted me away and well, what I’m trying to say is that I love you.”
“Jumin that was the best confession ever, I- I love you too!”
Afterwards Jumin is fine with you going crazy for a fictional character, as long as he always ends up getting tons of hugs and kisses too.
Jumin was never really jealous, except the times when he left for business trips, because he knew that some games had these audios to help you sleep (you told him a while ago) and that was the only thing that made him a bit worried.
One time when he came home early, you jumped up from your bed where you were playing and ran up to hug Jumin. Your phone screen was still on and he could see the character smiling seductively at you. He may or may not have stuck his tongue out at it for a split second (he had all the right to though, I mean why would you want a fictional character when you have JUMIN ajfbdbsb)
Saeyoung:
So, after the whole ME ordeal was over, you two still hadn’t really tied the knot. You weren’t even together.
Saeyoung had realized that he liked you, more than he’s ever liked a person before, and he felt that it was alright now...after all, there was no more agency, or weird cults or whatever.
He thought it would be fine.
Oh how wrong he was
Saeyoung does have his own way of showing his affections, by bulding apps or robots, anything of the sort! Yet you still didn’t seem to understand that he liked you
Instead you were head over heels for this one guy in a stupid game.
Listen, Saeyoung was pretty jealous alright? He kept trying to flirt but you didn’t understand, and you actually seemed to be in love with a fictional character! What was he supposed to do now?
Well eventually he figured out how to make his feelings clear for you.
One night, you opened up your game after a long day. You loaded your file and hummed the games background music as you progressed through the story, and giggled whenever your favorite character would appear.
Then, when your favorite cutscene was about to happen, your computer froze.
You frowned and gently tapped the screen, seeing if that would make it work. But no.
You panicked and clicked your screen, trying to restart your computer, to close the application, just to figure out what was wrong.
Then suddenly some text appeared, as if from the game, and a sprite you had never seen before (but was familiar) appeared on the screen.
Saeyoung?
You raised an eyebrow and went out into the living room, looking at the camera and trying to ask Seven what was going on, but he didn’t seem to reply.
You then grabbed your computer and kept clicking through the game.
“Y/N” it said. “It’s me! God7! Aren’t you feeling so grateful right now? Knowing that the one and only Savior of Justice is right here, inside your computer! Not everyone gets this sort of treatment you know? Anyway, the thing is, I hope you’re not mad that I hacked into your game. Oh, don’t worry though! I will fix it as soon as we’re done talking...well...the thing is....Y/N. I know it’s really weird that I’m talking to you through this, but I feel like it’s the only way I can get you to understand how you make me feel. Thanks to you I got my brother back, and the RFA is closer than ever. I don’t even have an agency to work for anymore. You’ve done so much for all of us. And the thing is, during that process I...I fell in love with you. I love your smile, your voice, your eyes, your face, everything. Yet you only seem to have eyes for that game character, hmph! How dare he try to get between my beautiful 606 and me!? To be honest...I don’t know if you like me back. For all I know you’re ready to marry that one guy, but I just have to be honest now, and tell you how I feel. That’s all. You don’t have to reply yet though! I’m sorry I can’t be like those guys in your games, but I’ll show you that 707 can be way better than them! Anyway, I think I’ve kept you for too long. I’ll go now...bye!”
A woosh sound effect was heard, and then your computer turned back to normal, your character smiling up at you, the romantic music playing on the background. But you just sat there, blushing.
Seven....liked you?!
Holy shit! And you didn’t even realize!
You quickly turned off your computer and ran over to the living room, getting in clear view of the camera. You waved your arms frantically and smiled at the lens as you said “I love you Saeyoung!”
Did he hear? You didn’t really know. Well not until you heard a knock on your door and when you opened, Saeyoung quickly ran over and hugged you.
He lets you still be crazy for fictional characters, the only rule is that you can’t buy any body pillows of them.
“Why buy them when you have me! Y/N, you know I’m the best quality for a body pillow” he winked at you, and you rolled your eyes.
In conclusion, the two of you always laugh remembering how you never got that he was flirting, and how in love you appeared to be with the fictional character.

so i read your response to my theory and i want to bring up some counter points of my own:
i said enhanced people or aliens we’ve known. if there are some with similar powers then they haven’t shown their faces and i find that suspecious. most people have powers that are similar to each other, hulk and captain america while different they both have similar enhancements. the power man from brooklyn? the bronx? harlem? new york is like immortal or something and you can say thats some kind of healing factor like deadpool is known to have. but there isnt anyone known with similar powers to spiderman (ignoring super strength that like literally everyone has nowadays. your neighbours grandma has super strength); thats weird.
tony stark has the resources to make himself a suit and hes also proven theres a man inside the suit. spiderman hasnt. but maybe it is a normal human inside a super suit!! then he would still need the resources to make the suit… maybe thats why the vultures daughter liz allen (? i suck with names, sorry about the vision thing) told you to look into oscorp!! maybe they are the maker of the suit and thats why they don’t want to say anything!!
the voice modulator… the mask its like skin tight, it would be really difficult to hide a voice modulator there, and you didnt see him swinging around with a phone on his hand everytime he had to talk, did you? even the ironman helmet thingy isnt as close to the face i dont think (how would he breath if it was??? also i imagine the metal is quite uncomfortable). if he is a man inside a suit, then it would make the most sense that the suit has all the powers like ironmans including some voice modulator, but if he was a robot? some android? then he wouldnt have the breathing problem bc the mask is not a mask its face and it doesnt have to worry about poking itself in the eye when installing voice modultor thingies.
the blood is a theory you have, unless you already know the dude and asked him yourself. maybe its a robot with social issues that really thinks that if he makes something look like blood no one would question it, you dont know whats going on in that guy’s head. or maybe thats what the robot wants you to believe.
now im kind of more sure that its either a robot/ai or some ironman wannabe in an oscorp suit. fucking oscorp answer the calls i want to know. you dont have to be an asshole for your own close mindness jeez, why do you hate robots.
[ ps: author this is a joke this is lighthearted pls i love your fics i love harley i laughed so much when i saw the response. last chapter was amazing, your writing is so fucking good. i loved the spin on uncle bens death and (as someone who recently lost an uncle and is going through the same as peter) i felt so identified with peter. keep it up!! <333 ]
I'll address this the same way you did:
1. You say yourself we haven't seen anything yet that equals up to the same and then call it suspicious in the same breath. Of course it's suspicious but enhanced individuals are currently risking forced registration and jail time if they even accidentally show powers so I can't blame them for staying quiet.
2. We won't know anything about whether that is true or not until they agree to an interview.
3. You do know you can use some really good stealth tech (made BY SI) to modify your voice, right? All you need is a microphone which even your classic bluetooth headphones have.
4. As you say, unless you're spoken to him you don't know what he's thinking. And that works for you too, anon.
Why are you so convinced that he HAS to be a robot? There's no way in this conversation that I'm the only close-minded one.
~ Harley
(Ooc: 😂 don't worry at all! I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for interacting!)

What's the stupidest thing the heroes have done. (+Garou.) Gimme the most crackhead fueled idea you can come up pls.
Okie dokie! Thanks for the request, anon! ❤️🧡
Tornado of Terror: She was really out of it one day and ended up flinging herself off a building, thinking she was using her powers to fly when she was actually falling to the ground at Mach 20 speed. She snapped out of it just before hitting the concrete, and floated to the ground like normal. The passerby thought she was just playing tricks, when in all actuality, she was just running on 5% brain power.
Silverfang: decided to adopt Garou.
Atomic Samurai: He often mistakes Bushidrill for Kama whenever Bushi has his hair down. Kami would walk outside, see Bushi washing his hair, and he’d ask the disciple a question relating to makeup or something Kama would know, and Bushi would turn around (in all of his hairy, mustache glory) and say in a stupid voice, “whaaaaat?”
Child Emperor: he’s done a lot of stupid shit purely out of sleep depravation, but the thing that takes the cake is the time that he almost started a robot uprising by programming an ai that came really close to having the emotional intelligence of a human. Luckily, he had a lot of precautions to make sure things didn’t get out of hand and he ended that shit before his lab went all Skynet on his ass. He was just really lonely and he wanted a friend, ok.
Metal Knight: he does a stupid thing every time he wakes up in the morning: being alive.
King: accidentally ruined his progress on one of the hardest games he’s ever played because he thought cleaning the cartridge with a wet dishrag and drying it with a hairdryer would be a good idea. Granted, he was 7 years old, but it was still tomfoolery.
Zombieman: nothing he does really has lasting consequences because he’s immortal, but he once ate a rock just to fuck around and it has been in his stomach for over a decade because that shit can’t digest. It was only during the homeless emperor fight that the pebble was set free, and now Zombieman has additional room for beer. Everyone wins.
Drive Knight: had to get an anti-virus software installed in his brain because he tried to download government secrets from a sketchy website via Bluetooth. He survived the robot-equivalent of a stroke but he’s recovered and is alright now. Unfortunately.
Pig God: swallowed a child accidentally. The kid is fine, but now they have ✨trauma✨
Superalloy Darkshine: the stupidest thing he’s done was when he first started working out as a skinny lad, he went for the biggest weights first and decided to do reps without having anyone spot him and broke both of his arms! Oh boy, did the depression really hit in those times.
Watchdog Man: the dumbest thing he’s done had to have been when he decided on the dog costume, not knowing it would immediately become his Brand. Now he’s the designated furry of the hero association and even though he’s not exactly mad about it, he just sometimes wishes he didn’t have to wear something so fucking itchy all the damn time.
Flashy Flash: raced an airplane as it was flying through the sky and ended up running into a tree, subsequently breaking every bone in his face.
Genos: convinced Dr. Kuseno to not perform any bug checks after getting a new upgrade. This was some years back. Genos ended up almost getting a stroke because some robo-stuff got all fucky in his brain and he’s vowed to never convince Kuseno to do any dumb shit like that again.
Metal Bat: Thought it would be a good idea to do that thing where you jump on an air mattress while someone’s sitting on the other end and the force catapults them forward, except that person happened to be Zenko and she ended up being yeeted out of a second-story window because Badd is pretty much a full-grown man and Zenko is a tiny precious little angel baby. She was fine, but now she’s got a cool scar to show for it.
Tanktop Master: Back when he wasn’t as ripped, he decided to do deadlifts one day but didn’t secure the weights correctly on the bar, so they rolled off onto his feet and he now has a limp. Dumbass.
Puri-Puri Prisoner: became a sex offender.
Amai Mask: Started a performance onstage without realizing he had a face mask on and came out looking like Shrek. Of course, he owned it and said it was part of the show but only after the press had speculated over it for like 2 years.
Okamaitachi: has a track record of falling in love with monsters/villains she’s supposed to kill. Luckily, nobody’s gotten hurt due to her lovestricken-ness during combat (yet).
Iaian: called his Sensei a poopyhead at age 12 and got the ass-whooping of his life.
Bushidrill: called his Sensei a poopyhead at age 37 and got the ass-whooping of his life.
Fubuki: was teasing Tatsumaki while they were both kids and told her that she was adopted. Little Tatsu got really offended and ended up unearthing their entire house in a psychokinesis fit, causing a lot of propety damage. To this day, their parents blame Fubuki for having the family almost go bankrupt while trying to fix it.
Saitama: thought he was doing a pretty good job of taking care of his cactus, so he got a pet fish to serve as a bit of a challenge. The little guy lived for 3 years before Sai accidentally killed it by feeding it some off-brand fish food, since it was the only thing Sai could afford at the time. Saitama legitimately went through a depressive phase after the death of his fish and refuses to get another one because nothing could ever replace his old pal.
Mumen Rider: was about to go on patrol as per usual, but forgot to lift the brake on his bike and ended up doing a reverse-wheelie, subsequently face-planting on the concrete. It was the 17th time he’s ever broken his nose.
Sonic: same shit as Flashy Flash because every ninja from that godforsaken village shares a single brain cell, and its dying.
Garou: back at the dojo, he got really angsty one day and decided to try and poison daddy Silverfang. Garou mixed dish soap in with Silverfang’s tea in a dead-serious attempt to commit murder (not really, he’s just dramatic [plus I’m pretty sure Silverfang ain’t gonna die via dish soap poisoning but I digress]) but Silverfang literally fell over laughing because the old shit thought it was a prank.

Death and the Firebender, A Sandman/Avatar crossover
Chapter I:
Azula had lived a life of danger and strangeness, she reflected with all the exhausted unoriginality typical of someone in from a long day at work. In her childhood she had been a soldier. No...more than a soldier. A general who acted like a glorified lieutenant and had even briefly killed the Avatar. Now she spent her life in a blend of occasional combat, at the side of her old enemies (a thought that never ceased to bemuse her). And......mostly she spent time delving into a blend of spiritual and scientific matters.
It was a thought of great amusement to her that the people she met from Ba Sing Se had very different views of her depending on status. The Inner and Middle Rings were either very welcoming or indifferent. Upper Ring people were indifferent to outright hostile but seldom willing to gamble on her family's dubious kindness to her. She was, admittedly, more grateful for that than she had any particular reason to expect, but......
Most people who consulted her for various technical issues just saw the person who'd helped to revolutionize entire industries, replacing overachievement in war and imperialism with inventing new kinds of machines and making that invention stick. All things considered she preferred the life of Princess Azula, technical support and occasional spirit mentor to her older life.
She'd found a way to co-exist with her mother, a younger sister she liked. Her uncle, even, had found a means to actually view her as human instead of fearing any given mistake was a prelude to overthrowing her brother. It had been a strange path to that with Ursa, but it had worked...somehow. And she wasn't entirely insistent on delving too deeply into that. She'd learned from some of the surreal yet reality-based adventures with the Avatar that her unique brand of fire had some similarities to that of her ancestor Rina.
Power with spirits. These were not the thoughts that roiled through her head when a figure who outwardly looked like a surprisingly short woman with messy black hair and skin the color of bone stepped into her business. She wore Fire Nation style clothing, save a bright silver object vaguely cruciform in shape save that it was topped by a circle.
Azula liked women. That was always a factor in Azula being Azula, even if her family was sometimes inconsistent in accepting it. The woman that walked in was so astonishingly beautiful in her appearance that she was deeply grateful she was married....and instantly suspicious. Spirits at times took human shapes but they never quite did it right. In this case the 'not quite right' was more subtle.
"Can I help you?"
The figure turned toward her and flashed her a surprisingly warm smile.
"Yes, yes you can. My younger sister, I believe, has wandered into your world."
"OK." Azula's response had a more than slight edge of rudeness and skepticism though the other woman seemed amused. Usually Azula prized herself on grace but some random scammer walking into her pl-
"Into my world? Huh?"
The woman laughed a bit, a musical sound that drew her focus somewhat more than she anticipated.
"Well, it's a very long story and you wouldn't believe me if I explained it to you fully. I went to ask you before I asked the Avatar as your Avatar does things a bit.....differently. Too much of a reaction to that deeper truth. If I can I just want to find Del before she makes too much of a mess. The last time something like this happened it was Dream who handled it, but he's had his hands full with business involving a very strange incident with an AI. So it's my turn."
Azula steepled her fingers.
"And you're coming to me why, exactly? There's plenty of other people you could ask. Sokka, in particular, is one of the best trackers in the world."
Another musical laugh.
"Sokka, regrettably, would be too distracted by certain...elements."
"Right, OK." Again Azula found her voice taking on that skeptical tone.
She stood up.
"Before we do this, what's your name?"
The woman smiled and that smile seemed to shift just a bit.
"My name is Death."

Republic City was not quite certain what to make of the person who was at times a child of seventeen, a child of seven, or a young woman. At any given time she could walk with light trailing behind her, a school of fish that swam through air as if it was water. Her eyes, heterochromic, glowed with an eerie light and her voice had a strange quality that induced an equally strange giddiness in all who heard it, unapologetically.
Delirium of the Endless hummed in a dissonant set of sounds both loud and soft, tangible and intangible at the same time. She always loved visiting these kinds of worlds, her big brother made such wonderful stories. If the masses in the great city of steel and glass looked at her with a strange fear she did not let herself notice.
It was easier to just walk in cities and explore the sights than to vent the emotions boiling through her or admit she had them, but that was what it was. Behind her fish trailed and transformed into kaleidoscopic sparks. One incautious person touched one of the sparks and began to laugh in a giddy fashion and jerked in motions until they fell over, spasming.
