#that tag is going to be an incomprehensible mess god bless

[darcyolsson]

can't wait to have a horrendous time on this website trying to differentiate between tsc (the sunshine court) and tsc (the shadowhunter chronicles)

[worseandworser]

Oh! Just found you from some reblogging! Gonna go through your awesome stuff some more :3 in the meantime, since your ask box is open, would you mind doing something small for royed with magic?

hello, anon :3

I wasn’t really sure what kind of magic you were thinking here, but I tried my best! And… this is around 1,000 words-long so… it’s not a drabble…

Summary: It was kind of hard to take him seriously now, though. The blue uniform was loose over shoulders that were not that broad anymore, and he had to roll the legs of the pants up a bit so he wouldn’t trip. The slightly chubbier cheeks softened the arrogant demeanor he usually carried around, and earlier on Ed had spotted freckles on the bridge of his nose. He looked… well…

Not really that bad.

Rating: Teen and Up

Warnings/tags: teenage!Roy

read on ao3

Edward really hadn’t intended for this to happen. It was just a joke, dammit, he hadn’t even put that much time into the reading. How could he have guessed it would actually work? And yet, Roy Mustang kept glaring at him like it was his fault.

It was kind of hard to take him seriously now, though. The blue uniform was loose over shoulders that were not that broad anymore, and he had to roll the legs of the pants up a bit so he wouldn’t trip. The slightly chubbier cheeks softened the arrogant demeanor he usually carried around, and earlier on Ed had spotted freckles on the bridge of his nose. He looked… well…

Not really that bad.

Ed had always guessed that an awkward appearance was a mandatory part of being a teenager and, apparently, Roy had none of that. A bit lanky, yes, but the movements of his body lacked that clumsiness typical of the age. He kept the ladykiller air – girlkiller air now, Ed thought with amusement – and everything about him screamed mean cool kid and fuck Roy Mustang for being attractive even when he was younger.

“You are going to fix this, Fullmetal, I have a meeting early tomorrow and–”

Yep, still the same bastard, though.

“Okay, okay!” Ed said, throwing his hands up in an act of exasperation “I’ll fix it, I’m working on it!”

“Then work harder!”

“I would, if you would stop bitchin’ like a–” He cut himself before saying a highly indelicate offense.

Roy squinted his eyes at him. “Like a what, Edward?”

The blond ignored him and went back to the book. They sat on the man’s personal library’s floor, legs crossed and books all around. Ed was becoming increasingly annoyed at Roy’s behavior – snorting, rolling his eyes, complaining – and distraught because he seemed to be the only one committed to the research.

He really couldn’t understand any of it. The whole thing bordered human transmutation and sounded ridiculously like magic. Artemis, Chasca, Persephone, Blodeuwedd… The array itself looked like a ritualistic symbol. And yet, it flared with blue light the moment it made contact with the man’s – currently teen’s – skin.

So many go through life trying to achieve eternal youth and yet Ed had rewound Roy Mustang as a joke.

“Could you please stop staring at me, I’m trying to concentrate here.”

The raven-haired groaned. “God, I can’t talk, I can’t look, what do you want me to do? Hide in the basement?”

That would be a very good an idea.

“You can read this,” he threw a book in the other’s direction, “and see if it’s got something useful.”

And it was silent for around half an hour.

Then Roy slammed the book on the ground.

“Fullmetal, this is not alchemy!”

Ed sighed. “I know that already! It’s like reading instructions to some metaphysical–”

“That’s not– Edward, this is not alchemy, it’s a blessing!”

He turned to Roy, jumping like a scared animal, and the ma–boy was grinning widely, looking himself like the cat who caught the canary. “I am not so sure you’ll want to fix it, though.”

“A blessing?! You’ve lost your goddamn mind? What the fuck are you even– I do want to fix this!”

“Are you sure of that?”

“Yes, you asshole, it’s my fucking mess to fix!”

“I would totally understand if you didn’t want to.”

“What the fuck, Mustang? I already said I do!”

Roy stared at him somberly, but his cheeks were twitching as if he was restraining a smile. “Would you do anything?”

“Yes, you bastard!”

“Literally anything?”

“I already said yes, you id–”

Mustang was on him before the remaining syllables could be spoken, lips on his and knees on each side of his hips. Ed was static for a few moments before he tried to shove the other away and off of his lap, but the raven-haired circled Ed’s neck with his arms and pressed himself the closest possible to the boy underneath him. Ed let out a noise of complaint, and Roy took the opportunity to slide his tongue past the blond’s lips and deepen the kiss.

It really wasn’t the most unpleasant experience ever. Roy kissed with dexterity, and the feel of short nails scratching at his nape was… okay-ish. Ed fisted the other’s loose clothes and, finally, relented. They were kissing now, and that was way better. A nice and eager dance of lips and tongues that had Ed sighing in a good way, so he slid his hands around Roy’s slim waist and pulled lightly. Roy made a very agreeing sound and moved his hips slowly and oh shit fuck shitEd shoved him hard.

“What the actual fu–”

Roy pouted and Ed just wanted to bite his lips off. “You said you’d do anything, Ed.”

“Don’t you fucking Ed me, you shit, you never call me that!” He had to take a deep breath because Mustang on his lap was highly distracting. “And– and how the fuck does this has to do with anything?!”

The Flame Alchemist tilted his head to the side and frowned as if Edward had said something incomprehensible.

“Didn’t you get by the symbolism?”

Ed shoved him again but no results. “What fucking symbolism?!”

Roy giggled and fingered Edward’s braid loose, playing with the strands like it was the most natural thing.

“Really? The Goddesses? The flowers? You really have no idea?” Ed shook his head negatively and Roy smiled before carrying on. “It all goes back to the idea of purity and maidens, Edward, it means that in truth, you didn’t turn me into a teenager, but to a virgin.”

How could he say all that without blushing remained a complete mystery to Edward, who was blushing like a proper virgin.

“And now, to fix your own mess, you are supposed to purge me of all my innocence,” Roy slid his lips up Ed’s neck and then bit his earlobe, and Ed shivered from head to toe, “In other words, I need you to fuck me.”

Edward opened his mouth to protest but Roy’s lips got there before the words could.

Megan Reads Oathbringer (part 5)

whhooooooo there’s still so much left, but I’ve come so far?? I’M !! THERE IS SO! MUCH! HAPPENING! IN ! THIS! BOOK!

Part 5 encompasses pages 326-394 (previous parts)

INTERLUDES 1

fucking. Venli? really? I don’t want to be in her head. I don’t want to know.

anyway! NEW PEOPLE FIRST:

“Puuli the lighthouse keeper” I LOVE THEM ALREADY

“Kelek himself had broken apart the land in the middle of a storm” I...Kelek? really? are you sure? Aren’t most of the Heralds busy being...not here?

Listen, Alyx told me that we’d seen all ten Heralds somewhere over the course of the series so far, and armed with this knowledge I have squinted at every single new character like “are YOU a crazy person who is sort of a god? are YOU a crazy person who is sort of a god?”

I’m pretty sure none of them have been crazy people who are sort of gods.

But I’m keeping my eyes peeled anyway.

I RELATE TO THIS ARDENT LADY BECAUSE I, TOO, WOULD LIKE TO BE LEFT ALONE IN PEACE AND QUIET AND VERY VERY LONELY SOLITUDE TO READ MY SMUT FIC.

“What was that you’re studying?” “Important works.” Obviously. Trashy romance novels are the HEIGHT of important works.

ROSHARN LINGUISTICS IS REALLY COOL.

it’s a trashy romance novel; of COURSE there’s a sequel.

tbqh, Venli, I’m not sure what you expected. “You should be taking orders from me.” Uh huh. Sure. You summoned a hatesprean that your people literally went dullform to escape, and you didn’t think you were going to be ordered around by it?

YOU KNEW YOUR GODS WERE EVIL WHY DID YOU THINK THAT SUMMONING THEM WOULD SAVE YOUR PEOPLE

nooooo

Eshonai please. don’t be dead. you’re the best of them, just...don’t

aaahhh

wow, that’s. a lot of information okay. um. Spren of redemption? yeah, I’ll believe that when never. The parshendi ANCESTORS? are in charge?? in charge of what? the spren? the voidbringers? the changes? the storm?

also Venli is KIND OF AN ASSHOLE and I mean, we knew this already but this kind of power-hungry selfishness is. really unfortunate in a person.

ooh. different spren? save Esh please? maybe? I LIVE IN HOPE.

PART TWO

what

BRIDGE FOUR gets a pov?!!!!!!??! MY BOYS!!!??!?!?!? AAHH

BHAHAHAHA I ALWAYS FORGET HOID’S REAL NAME IS A STUPIDLY RIDICULOUS STAR WARS NAME I Love it

how come we don’t get Navani’s reaction to her daughter just magically appearing back from the dead

I want the Navani-Jasnah reuinion scene. I’ve been robbed of good mother-daughter content.

“Storms. She was perfect.” Every. time. I love it. I love how super bi Shallan is and how desperately in love she is with two very different Kholins. What a good.

god bless Jasnah “Every Moment is a Teaching Moment if You Try Hard Enough” Kholin

you know, I’m also been robbed of Jasnah and Hoid’s Road Trip Adventure. I’m sad.

omg it’s so weird for Jasnah to be the one who’s a step behind.

AAHH JOINT VISION TIME YO this’ll be fun

oooohh the Stormfather does care. he has an imagination and everything.

bahahaaha Dalinar. How many times has he witnessed all these visions and he’s still a doofus when it comes to fitting into them.

OOOHH SUMMONING ARMOR THAT’S COOL!! Can they do that nowadays?? 

“they moved on all sixes” like yeeeeppp right, most stuff on roshar has six legs but that’s a wild variation on all-fours and suuuper jarring for a sec

hi, yeah, I love Fen a lot. petition to keep her.

also her assuming that Dalinar was working with the Voidbringers: not unreasonable considering the last few months of him possibly going crazy or not. like...she’s got reasons to be suspicious.

OMG THE ART FOR THE HEADER FOR BRIDGE FOUR AAAAAHHHHHH

SIGZIIIIILLLLL omg. Having panic dreams about messing up tests. I love him???

he’s SO OFFENDED THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO QUEUE I LOVE IT

hold on I’m changing my queue tag to “I’m Azish, I know how to queue”

BLESS. AFRO!SIGZIL

LOPEN EATING BREAKFAST ON THE CEILING WHAT A NERD

I HAVE MISSED THESE ROWDY BOYS

“Where was Teft? They actually listened when he gave orders.” MY BOYS ARE DUMB NERDS AND I LOVE THEM

what’s the “other thing”? Where does Teft disappear to? what is happen. why does Kaladin not know about it, but Sig does?

dear. god. I’m.

of course he does morning push ups. without his jacket on.

I’m

hhhnnnnngggggggggg

#priorities

I LOVE MY DUMB BOYS

LOOK AT THEM ALL GETTING MARRIED AND COURTING AND GETTING LUNCHES DROPPED OFF BY THEIR WIVES AND LOOK AT THEM BEING REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL LIVES AND I’M SO PROUD OF THEM THEY’VE COME SO FAR I LOVE THEM

also I adore that the only "problem” about Drehey being gay is that Sig thinks he’s gotta fill out forms, and that the indication is that in Azir, the forms go both ways. That’s. so refreshing and lovely and. Good job, Brandon! I’m so. this is A Good.

“Master Hoid” is a fucking hilarious juxtaposition of terms.

Kaladin’s desperate insistence that they won’t lose any more people is endearing and also terrifying because you just know someone is going to die and he’s going to be so upset and I’m going to have to drive back to Utah to yell at Brandon personally for making my boy suffer.

Can Lyn join Bridge Four? If we’re recruiting, can we recruit her?

BLESS. TWO SENTENCES LATER “How would you like to join the Windrunners.” GOOD YES EXCELLENT

me, anytime they even mention Moash: *long keening noises of despair and pain* 

Kaladin didn’t teeeeellll theeeemmmmmm he didn’t tell them what Moash did he didn’t tell them Moash hecked up and betrayed them he didn’t want then to be mad or to hate Moash I’M UPSET NOISES FOREVER

ohhhh my god.

Kaladin. Please.

Using the royal treasury’s emerald grain reserve to practice Radianting is DELIGHTFUL and HILARIOUS and also TERRIFYING OMG I LOVE IT THAT’S PERFECT

God, I love these boys.

Evi calls Dalinar “beloved” and I’m emotional

He doesn’t deserve her.

oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

He didn’t kill the kid.

He didn’t--I... I doubted him. I thought--so caught up in the Thrill, I just ASSUMED, BUT here were the seeds. The idea that the Blackthorn wasn’t quite as horrible as he could have been. Which makes the changes later so much more plausible.

god, she’s so proud of him. I love her?

Gavilar can fuck right off, tbh, oh my god.

YAASSS, ROCK POV OMG

LUNAMOR

THAT’S SO PRETTY

“I want everyone on this plateau glowing like they swallowed a lantern.” that there’s a decent David Charleston metaphor.

WHERE! IS! TEFT! I’m so worried about him.

I love that they salute Dabbid.

I love them.

I love Bridge Four. I’m not sure if you guys know this about me.

LOPEN PLEASE. “Did you stick yourself to the ground?” “All part of the plan, gon.” IS IT THO, DARLING?

KALADIN TRYING TO TEACH HOBBER TO BREATHE IN STORMLIGHT SO HE CAN HEAL HIS LEGS IS SO GOOD KALADIN IS SO GOOD I’M

crying

“I now have to either promote him or push him off the side of the plateau.” “Promote him? to what?” “Airsick lowlander. Second class.”

HELLO, FRONDS, I DON’T KNOW IF YOU ARE AWARE, BUT I! LOVE! BRIDGE! FOUR! SO! MUCH!

I...they saved the bridge.

I love that Rock bows to and respects even the spren he can’t see. Also I get the feeling that no one really ever sees Glys, except Renarin. Which makes...sense, in a weird way? I guess...’cause they are both so quiet and reserved. Or we assume Glys shares that with Renarin. It seems right though, if that’s true.

Also, Rock making work for Renarin, just so he can be included, which is all he wants is A Good. Rock is an extremely observant fellow, once he puts his mind to it, isn’t he?

Rock is really, really good at making people feel better. And he knows exactly what people need. Skar is a teacher, so he gives him the opportunity to teach. Renarin needs a confidence boost, so he tells him not to see himself as a flaw, but as a person. Rlain needs company, so he sends Renarin to him. He’s very good at manipulating people into making themselves feel better. It’s really delightful.

HOBBER!!!! HOBBER GOT IT!!! THEY’RE ALL JUST GIVING HIM THEIR GEMS THEY DON’T EVEN HESITATE THEY’rE JUST

I’M CRYING I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THEY ARE ALL SO DAMN GOOD

you know what, fuck Sadeas.

OH MY GOSH

OOOOOHHH

ROCK’S FAMILY!!!!! IS HERE!!! THERE’S KIDDOS!!!!!! I’M!!!!! OH MY GOSH

HER NAME IS SONG AND THEY ARE CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS AND I’M CRYING AGAIN

they are SO GOOD. honoring their bridge for its last run. the last one. That’s...almost incomprehensible, but YEAH! They fly now! what do they need a bridge for! (a bridge four. hah) But the still...they honor it. It saved their lives. It was all they had. Of course it gets one last run.

aahh, I love Bridge Four so, so much.
