#tbh I was planning on splitting it in half anyway cause it fits a few of the prompts and breaks in half nicely

[mayorofcattown]

me: oh this fic idea is just a short oneshot, not that much even happens in it, I'll totally be able to get it done before Natsume we-

the fic outline alone:

me: oh

[isolctions]

💍 + YOU KNOW WHY IM HERE

send me 💍 + A SHIP and i’ll tell you —

where they get married: you & i both know the answers to half of these by default, by anyways!!!! it won’t be the exact location but it will be a ranch style wedding with spanish-inflenced decor. they’re v cultured.

when they get married ( ie what time of day, what month and season etc. ): i feel like they plan for it to be mid-day, around 11am or 12pm, but it ends up being way later and the ceremony ends up occurring closer to 3. fall seems like the perf season cause the weather’s still warm and perfect!

what traditions they include ( do they get married under a chuppah and crush a glass, garter toss, ‘something borrowed, something blue,’ etc. ): def tossing the garter and the bouquet, duh!!!! but zeph will try to do the old/new/borrowed/blue tradition to keep things fun.

what their wedding cake looks like: aight, so boom. three tier cake, with one half resembling a geode or crystal using fondant then sort of split so that the other half is whipped icing. #balance.

….who smashes cake into whose face: ZEPHYR OBVIOUSLY

who proposed to who first: as of last night, maliq azad did!!!!!

who walks down the aisle and who waits at the altar ( or neither ): zephyr walks down the aisle and captivates everyone with her goddamn beauty while maliq waits at the alter looking at her like it’s the first time he’s seen her. real ‘the night me & your mama met’ teas here!!

what their wedding dresses / suits / other look like: okay, zephyr prbly has like. three looks. her main dress is similar to naz’s in that it’s v fitted to show them new curves, not an extremely long train because she’s fucking clumsy, and lace. (she’ll also have a first dance dress and a reception dress bc she’s extra, okay???) and maliq’s tux is a traditional black and white w/ silver trim. a style icon.

what their wedding colour scheme is and what sort of decor they have: their theme is honestly v simple colors??? there’s more earthy tones involved and maybe the occasional silver and gold here and there, some deep reds as well. literally the only thing that’ll stand out is zephyr’s baby pink hair.

what flowers are in the bouquet ( if applicable. bonus: what do the flowers mean? ): you know maliq is gonna wanna throw in some orchids in there somewhere for zeph’s sake, but tristan prbly took care of the entire bouquet and flower organization. she prbly has some baby’s breath within the bouquet/tied along her veil in her hair and roses cause z’s exact words were prbly “idk, whatever goes in wedding bouquets i guess????”

what their vows are ( eg poetry, traditional, improvised etc. ): maliq’s would be half improvised and half poetry and prbly kinda long. i feel like zeph would try to write hers and make it sound super pretty and professional or something but forgets half of it during the ceremony and just wings it by saying whatever she feels.

if anyone’s late to the wedding: prbly zephyr and a few family members tbh, and whoever has the babies bc hello, they’re babies?????

who’s in the bridal parties / groomsmen / other: most of maliq’s bandmates make up his groomsmen. tristan is zeph’s maid of honor and she has some of her cousins/friends from brooklyn and chicago in the bridal party alongside besties jerome & marcelo.

what their bridal party / groomsmen / other are wearing: the groomsmens suits are similar to maliq’s except it’s prbly a deep red bowtie, tristan is wearing a deep red dress while the rest of the bridal party wears black.

who gives speeches at the reception ( bonus: what do they say? recount a sweet memory or two between them? tell an embarrassing story? ): tristan does!!!! it’ll be v emotional as well cause our girl has been there thru it all, and although she’s literally ten years older than zeph, she has a lot to say and will express the amount of love and honor she has. maliq’s bandmates will prbly recall funny or embarrassing stories about him personally or about them, along with zephyr’s best friends.

who catches the bouquet( s ): sola will throw a fit bc as the flower girl, she’s supposed to have ALL the flowers so after a mild tantrum, zephyr just hands it to her.

what their wedding photos are like ( are they sweet, with the couple holding hands or kissing or ~gazing into each others eyes~? are they silly, with a snapshot of the ‘cake-smash’ moment? or are they artistic, with one of them facing the sunset or holding their bouquets? ): all of them!!!! maliq’s well known enough that they finna cop that vogue EXCLUSIVE, so they captured everything— from the aesthetic photos, to the first look/family photographs, to the emotional moments of the ceremony as well as the silly ones, and the reception is just full of more laidback but joyful and silly ones. and yes, the cakesmash is included.

what sort of food they have at the reception: HELLO CATERED BY S’MAC!!!!!! there’s also various other foods catered from small black owned businesses in the area and the biggest cater would be for the dessert arrangements and the open bar.

who cries first during the ceremony: maliq once he sees the wig and just how beautiful his wife is xoxoxo. and zephyr will try to hold it in during the walk down the aisle but fails and cries during her vows.

how wild their reception gets ( who dances the best, who gets drunk first, etc. ): well….um…we already know that zeph’s dad and maliq’s mom get it in, so like….how much more wild does that get

what their rings are like: maliq did all the rings himself and made sure he chose different gems and stones that were spiritual and promoted longevity, serenity, love, etc.

what sort of favours they have ( heart shaped sparklers, mini champagne bottles, personalised candy etc. ): cute ass little cupcakes obviously, a bunch of mini treats, a fondue fountain bc who doesn’t want chocolate covered fruit while at a wedding, sparklers, and in-n-out!!!!

where they go for their honeymoon: somewhere surrounded by water, as a nod to the vacation they wanted to take while zeph was pregnant with sola.

something memorable that happens during the party / ceremony ( do they run out of ice and someone goes to get it in full formal wear on foot, does anyone fall asleep in the middle of the party, etc. ): AGAIN, ANGELA AND DION. as well as going to in-n-out to get burgers, fries and shakes while still in their reception clothes, someone’s family member (likely zeph’s) prbly gets wasted, i strongly feel like zeph will tear her veil on accident and it becomes a whole thing.

who officiates the ceremony: i’m SURE maliq has a band member he’s particularly close with that will literally get licensed just to officiate their ceremony.

what song their first dance is to: they have so many legendary bops that define their relationship, i just…i cannot choose! but if i HAD to, it would be a toss between one in a million by aaliyah— the song that she and her dad used to dance to as a kid, stan by 6lack— it’s a lil recent but the lyrics are too fitting, you are luhh by frank ocean— the vocals, the dreaminess…ugh! and the night me & your mama met by childish gambino— who needs words??? who???????

who gives who away as they walk down the aisle: although her father is present at her wedding (#growth), she and him come to the decision that her aunt should be the one to walk her down the aisle. cue tris and zeph having a real heart to heart moment and sharing a hug with her aunt and her dad before tris gives her niece away to the love of her life. can they get married tomorrow at this point lol

Svt on the 4th of July

Okay 

So 

Lets just say svt is in the grand old USA

*que shua saying the pledge of allegiance with and eagle screeching in the background*

But wait 

There’s more

its…THE 4TH OF JULY

Idk how it is over in the west coast 

But here in the east coast 

The 4th is wild 

Trying to figure out if what you are hearing is gunshots or fireworks at night 

Which mind you 

In my state

Both are illegal 

MERICAAAAAAAAA

Back to svt

So

Our boy shua takes the lead

Like the few times vernon did experience it 

He was probably to little to remember 

So in this case

Shua takes the lead 

So let the fun begin 

Im sure every member has hear a bit about the events that occur during the 4th

But now that they are going to get the full experience 

Buckle up your seat belts because this is gonna be a wild ride

Also im going to be basing this entirely off what ive experienced

So probably not what shua actually experienced 

But either way its america and the 4th

Its bound to be wild no mater what

So

They wake up early in the morning

No time to sleep on a holiday as important as this one

Catch shua decked out in as much red, white and blue, stars and stripes he can get on his body

Also hot as heck because it is July 

But patriotism above comfort am i right no

Anyways 

Catch shua making sure every member has some type of stars in stripes on 

Remember those little tattoos that you get wet and then put on 

Idk if they have a name tbh

Anyways 

Every member has a 4th of july one on 

Like most of them were smart about where they stuck on the lil tattoo

But yall

Hoshi and dk

Stuck the sparkly red, white and blue firework tattoo right on their face

Like catch these attractive grown men walking around with these tattoos on their cheeks 

I love it tbh

So all the members are ready 

Vernon found a flag banda and is now wearing it 

Shua has that dumb bucket hat on

I guarantee you someone is just straight up wrapped in a flag

Probably mingyu 

Okay okay so now everyone is ready for the day 

Time to stake out seats for the parade 

Or at least thats the plan 

They get there and immediately get distracted 

This is where my weird state comes into play srry 

Okay but so all these little pop up stores showed up 

From weird stores that just have like old knick knacks and such to like little pet booths where you can get your dog the new latest and greatest outfit with a matching collar and leash

Mingyu and wonwoo were the first to get lost at the pet accessory stole 

After that seungkwan, vernon and chan where left behind at the food stole 

Who is going to pass up funnel cake and like snow cones 

Not them 

When shua realized they were missing

He left coups and the rest at the turtle derby 

Yah you read that right

The best race ever 

So while the other svt members got way to into watching a bunch of turtles with numbers taped to the shell try and walk out of a circle first 

Good stuff 

Anyways so eventually shua rounds them up

Just in time to arrive for the great watermelon eating contest 

Watching people inhale watermelon at an alarming rate and worrying for their safety only makes the 4th that much more exciting

So after watching that mess of an event 

And coups surprisingly getting really really into it 

The 13 of them make there way to the roadside 

Blankets in hand 

Finally found a big enough for all of them 

Bonus its also partly in the shade

So they lay down the blankets and get all settled in 

The best 

And most terrifying part 

Of the entire day

The parade 

Everything admirable about the town shows up 

So basically 

Some school marching bands

Every firetruck and police car you can fit into one space 

A lot of random floats for things you’ve literally never heard of 

Some random prom queen idk 

But svt would be like 

OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE ALL THOSE INSTRUMENTS!!!!

!!!! there !!! is !! a !!! dog !!!! in !!! that !!!! one !!!! float !!!! 

Actually go deaf from the fire truck sirens 

But whatever 

Half of them scream with joy when some of the floats throw candy into the crowd 

Except its more like they pelt the candy at you but whatever m8

Shua is have a grand old time reliving the joys of the 4th 

Vernon is probably like oh god they weren��t joking when they said all this stuff about it 

And the rest of them are like america omg wild i love it 

Except wonwoo he might get a little overwhelmed 

And like i can kinda see seungkwan being a little sassy about all the cheesy floats 

Me too boo me too 

So after a while the parade ends 

Everyone is hyped 

No matter how crappy the parade is or how good it is 

Everyone is hyped

Because you know whats next 

The most memorable part of the whole holiday 

The fireworks 

But its like lunch time right now 

Its a while before its dark 

So svt goes for lunch 

Since its such a large group of people it was decided hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill is the best choice 

So off everyone goes 

And now begins the food preparation 

Doesn’t actually take too long 

Thankfully 

Because hungry boys doesn’t make for a good situation 

So they all get there food and eat to their hearts content 

Because eating and full svt is the best svt you can fight me on this 

So because its so hot 

Water usually gets involved 

And im just gonna say three words

Water Balloon fight 

Can you see it 

The split up into their units 

Fill up water balloons as fast as possible 

Set up bases 

Create a battle strategy 

Because this is an intense fight do you hear 

Life or death 

And so beings the adult water balloon fight 

Best and biggest water balloon fight in history lemme tell you 

So soooooo much fun 

A memory all of them would have for the rest of their lives 

They’d all be laughing so hard there stomachs would hurt 

Even if a random stranger walked past the battle 

Im sure they would just stop and watch and smile 

Because hearing such sweet laughter like that 

And watching 13 people just have straight up fun 

And just enjoy life would bring a smile to anyone’s face 

So now they are soaked 

Worth it tho 

By the time they collect themselves and dry off and like get all their energy back

Its probably close to dusk 

So they gather up blankets and chairs 

Shua hunts down sparklers and what are they called pop its ???

Omg hold on imagine svt with those pop its 

Im crying just thinking about it 

The best part of the 4th is chucking those little tnt poppers at your friends and watching them run away in terror as they explode 

Just imagine svt with that im yelling

Tbh at first they would have fun just throwing them down on the ground and watching them explode and hearing the lil snap 

And then shua comes in 

And just chucks it at jeonghan 

Jeonghan screams 

Throws one back 

Hits coups instead 

Coups throws one

Hits seungkwan 

Now you’ve got vernon and seungkwan joining in 

Somehow wonwoo gets hit 

Wonwoo isnt going to miss this chance 

Pelts one at mingyu 

Somehow woozi gets hit 

Everyone freezes and watches him slowly pull one out of the saw dust or whatever 

And then

All hell breaks loose

That lasts until they run out 

Which doesn’t take to long honestly 

Those boxes are tiny the run out so quick and ruin all the fun 

Anyways so now the sun is like almost setting 

So they all pile into some cars 

And begin the adventure for open space to watch the firework show 

Shua probably knows a good place 

Like an open field 

Or the top of a parking garage 

So they go there 

Set up camp round two 

Then they wait 

Light some sparklers 

Mingyu almost burns himself 

Tbh probably almost cries 

Minghao and jun roast people 

Someone probably flipped out and dropped a sparkler and almost caught another person on fire 

Its svt literally anything could happen with them 

Someone breaks out the glowsticks 

Cause it aint the 4th until there are glowsticks 

I guarantee you someone broke a glowstick 

Tbh i bet it was coups 

Someone would be struggling 

And he would be like i got this im the dad i got this 

*snaps it in half and all the liquid goes flying* 

Glowing the rest of the night lmao 

Finally the show starts 

Everyone is dead silent at first 

Totally into it 

110% absorbed in the pretty lights 

Then they start to oh and aw 

Then they are clapping 

Literally shook from the finale 

Like wth thats a lot of fireworks all at once how did no one die 

After thats over they beg shua to bring them back every 4th 

Literally haven’t had so much fun in a loooooong time 

Finally head back home 

Ears still ringing a bit from the loud bangs of the fireworks 

Fireworks going off in the distance probably fireworks lol

All together a highlight in sv bonding and memories and just so much fun plus cultural experiences good stuff 

Ah man just imagine all of that my heart 

[pikapegasus]

could I request #83 of the ways to say I love you one? For starmora, ofc

83. “Stay there. I’m coming to get you.”

tbh??? I went into this one with no plan and just kinda let it write itself. hope you find the results Interesting !!!! (also I like writing vulnerable gamora recently asdfghjkl;’ I’m Sorry)

send me a ship + a number for a way to say “I love you”!!!

Gamora’s never envied Nebula for her extensive cyberneticenhancements. Of course, Gamora has more than a fair share of machinerywhirring within her body as well, but not quite to the extent of Nebula, whowas completely replaced withenhancements. So, even though Gamora can still best Nebula in combat (except once—Ego’s planet, but whatever), Nebula’s got the advantagewhen it comes to getting back up on her feet after a pretty hefty injury, sinceher body parts all just click back into place within moments of being broken.

Then Gamora hisses in pain as she just barely moves her body, her leg sending a wave of pain through herentire body that nearly knocks her unconscious.

Yeah, she really hates Nebula right now.

“Shit, Gamora,”Rocket comments, looking at her in disbelief. “That’s a nasty break.”

“I noticed,” she manages through gritted teeth.

Groot’s standing next to her broken leg, first looking up ather with wide, sad eyes, then turning back to her leg. He makes a move to pokeit, but Rocket grabs him before he can touch it.

“No, Groot, we don’t touch broken limbs!” Rocket chastises,setting Groot on his shoulder. “And unless Gamora can walk on this thing, we’regonna have to wait for some backup, ‘cause there’s no way in hell I can carry her.”

They’re in the middle of a heist for some precious artifactthat was stolen from the Nova Corps. The team split up into two—as part of theplan—with Gamora and Rocket in charge of extracting the object while Peter andDrax take care of the guards.

But then one thing leads to another in their ultimatedescent from a well-planned mission to a disastrous one, per usual: anoverabundance of enemy forces, a lack of care for being stealthy (Drax getsoverexcited sometimes), a typical Rocket explosion (“What? They were totallygonna kill us!”), and the team still being separated, despite havingsupposed to have rendezvoused by now.

And Rocket’s “little” (according to him) explosion? Gamora barely made it out ofthe way in time, but then the floor collapsed beneath her, Rocket, and Groot,and they fell down to the next level, where a large piece of concrete withGamora’s name on it came after her leg with a passion.

Rocket managed to get it off her, but her leg’s busted andeven just the thought of moving is enough to make Gamora feel sick, but she ignores it.

“It’s fine,” she quips while Rocket fiddles with his comms,trying to reconnect with Peter and Drax. “I’ve had worse.”

Rocket scoffs. “I don’t doubt it, but that doesn’t make thistime any less crappy.”

That’s as close to outright sympathy as Rocket would offer,Gamora is aware, but she doesn’t really care either way. It’s just a brokenleg, after all. She starts trying to push herself up to her feet (or, at least,her good foot).

“I am Groot!” Groot calls out, concerned, when she stops noteven halfway to getting up, because, okay, maybeshe’s a little over her head this time.

“I’m okay, Groot,” she reassures him, carefully directingher voice away from the pain she can feel crawling up into it. “You don’t haveto worry.”

“Uh-huh, sure,” Rocket says, looking down at his comms. “I’mgonna call Quill to come down and get us, because there’s no way I’m strong enoughto carry you.”

“I don’t need to be—“

“Quill?” Rocket cuts her off, speaking into his device. “Canyou hear me?”

“Rocket?” Peter’svoice comes through moments later. “Whereare you guys?”

“All three of us are down on the sublevel. We fell throughth’floor,” Rocket says, looking up at the hole from which they fell. Gamoraresists the urge to roll her eyes; after all, Rocket had been the one to cause the explosion and get them stuckdown here in the first place. “Gamora’s leg is busted. We need an extraction.”

“Her leg? What—“

Peter’s cut off by some gunfire and a loud battle cry—“Drax,”Gamora and Rocket identify simultaneously—before he can finish his question.

“Just get your ass down here, Star-Munch,” Rocket says. “Igot the artifact, so we’re good to go.”

“Is Gamora okay?”

“She’s still alive. Here, I’ll prove it to ya.” Rocket turns his attention back toGamora. “Gamora, are you dead?”

“Rocket! Is she—”

“Just talk to her yourself!” Rocket finally gives up, handingGamora (who’s long since given up on standing up, and has returned to justsitting with her leg awkwardly sticking out) the device.

“I’m fine, Peter,” Gamora says. “Don’t worry.”

“Are you sure you’refine? What happened to your leg?”

“Broken,” she answers with a shrug.

“Stay there. I’mcoming to get you.”

“We weren’t plannin’ on movin’, anyway,” Rocket says,leaning toward the device. “There’s no way in hell I can carry Gamora.”

“I don’t need tobe carried,” Gamora protests.

“Just hang tight! We’llbe down in a few minutes.”

And that’s that. Gamora hands the device back to Rocket, inexchange for Groot, who replaces the device’s spot in Gamora’s hand. She setshim down on her lap. He looks up at her sadly.

“Peter’s on his way,” she tries to reassure him. “We’ll beback on the ship soon.”

“I am Groot.”

“He’s more worried about your leg,” Rocket translates.

“I am Groot.”

“He wishes your arms and legs would just grow back wheneverthey get broken, like his do.”

“I am Groot.”

“It’s probably a lot less painful than waiting for it t’heal.”Rocket puts his comms back in his pack, sitting down beside Gamora and Groot. “Idon’t think you’ll be on your feet for a while.”

“My body heals quickly,” Gamora reminds him. “Thanks to mycybernetic enhancements.”

“Either way, Quill’s still probably gonna freak,” Rocketjokes with a flick of his ears.

“He worries easily.”

“Specifically when it comes to you.”

Rocket points at her, but Gamora tries to play it off with a(half-hearted) shrug. “I can take care of myself.”

“Where’s the fun in that? Let ‘im worry over you, it’s hisway of showing that he cares,” Rocket says. “And the entire d’ast galaxy knows he cares a lot about you.”

Ever since she admitted to feeling the same “unspoken thing”as Peter, things had gotten…a littleweird, specifically within the team. There are a lot of emotions going throughthem at the moment, of course: grief from Yondu, anxiety from Ego, and ageneral need to frantically put all the pieces back together as quickly aspossibly to somehow return to normalcy.

But in a team like theirs, well, normalcy’s practically unheard of.

And, of course, there’s this new thing between her and Peter—thefeelings aren’t new, but the open acknowledgement of them is, as is everyoneelse’s reactions to it—and Gamora’s certain that nobody’s really on the samepage at the moment.

“You two can be pretty nauseating t’be around,” Rocketcontinues, but there’s no hostility or disapproval in his voice. “But, hey, ifyou’re happy.”

Now it’s his turn to shrug, and Gamora can’t help but stare.“You don’t mind Peter and I…?”

She trails off, because she’s not exactly sure what the wordfor it is. Back when it was unspoken,it was just that: wordless, abstract. Now Gamora’s not exactly sure how to makeit spoken, because the first words that come to mind—a relationship, courting,dating, what have you—don’t really seem to fit.

“I’d rather you two acknowledge your sexual tension ratherthan puttin’ the rest of us throughit,” Rocket insists. “Consider it my blessing.”

“I am Groot.”

“Groot also approves,” Rocket explains.

“I am Groot.”

“Whoa, I’m not sure if I’d call it love yet, Groot,” Rocket corrects. Gamora tries to ignore the heatthat rises to her cheeks at Groot’s idea. “They need time t’figure things outbefore they call it love, or whatever.”

“Thank you, Rocket,” Gamora says softly. She pokes Groot’sback with her index finger, looking down at him. “You, too, Groot.”

Groot beams up at her. Rocket scoffs. “Whatever. Just…keepthe d’ast sexual tension—and actual sex—away from the rest of us.”

Before Gamora can reply, Peter calls down to them fromabove. He’s looking down at him through the hole in the ceiling. “There youguys are! I’m coming down!”

“Took ya long enough, asshole!” Rocket calls back as Peterputs on an aero rig and flies down to them.

“Blame Drax,” Peter grumbles, landing beside them. “Herefused to leave without every guard down and no stones left unturned.”

“We didn’t turn any stones!” Drax protests from above.

“Metaphor, Drax!”Peter calls back.

“What a bunch a’idiots,” Rocket mutters, shaking his head.

“Can you and Drax bring the ship over here for anextraction?” Peter asks.

“Yeah, sure, whatever, since you asked so nicely,” Rocket says, activating his aerorig. Gamora hands Groot over to him. As Groot settles on Rocket’s shoulder,Rocket flies up to Drax. “We’ll be back in a few.”

“Hey,” Peter greets, kneeling down beside Gamora. “You okay?”

“Fine,” Gamora responds, just as she had to Rocket. “I’vehad worse.”

“How exactly did this happen?”

“Ask Rocket.”

“Not my fault!” Rocket calls from above.

“Whatever, that doesn’t matter,” Peter dismisses, shakinghis head as he places an arm around Gamora’s shoulders and another under herlegs. “This is already going to be tricky enough.”

Gamora’s a trouper, per usual, simply grunting as Peterhelps her stand up. She leans heavily on him, feeling more disoriented than she’danticipated, but Peter’s got a firm grasp on her.

“Easy, easy,” Peter murmurs when she sways. “Let me justcarry you.”

Part of her wants to object, but she recalls Rocket’sadvice.

Let Peter take care of her.

So she goes along with it—not that she has much willpower toprotest at this point, anyway, because her vision’s swimming, her leg feels justshort of horrible, and…is the room spinning?—and loops her armsaround Peter’s neck. On his count, she manages a small jump to help him lifther legs up into her arms.

“We’ll be back to the ship in no time,” he reassures her,flying up toward the hole. “Then we’re going straight to a doctor.”

She sighs, resting her head against his shoulder. “Thanks.”

“Thanks for being so cooperative,” he teases. “This is a loteasier than I expected.”

“I take back my gratitude,” she quips, rolling her eyes. Shecan hear his laughter from his chest.

“Sure you do,” Peter says sarcastically, landing on theground and walking toward the exit.

Gamora just rolls her eyes, silently appreciating the quiet,private moment. Maybe Rocket had been onto something when he’d suggested herletting Peter do this, letting herself be vulnerable with him; he’sbeen vulnerable with her plenty of times before, so there’s no reason she can’texpect the same from him. This experience leaves her trusting Peter even more.

(Rocket gives surprisingly good advice.)

send me a ship + a number from this **new** list (pls specify if it’s from the new list)!!!!
