#the fracture wasnt that big

[opal-owl-flight]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO SPLOON3 AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NEO3!!!

(On the phone screen being shown to Neo3 is likely a leaked Grizzco document about how all the eggs had gone missing)

There is no way the platoon wont pull all the stops to make the day happy for their favorite salmon-raised shithead. Doesnt matter that they havent had proper sleep for the last 2 days.More deets below regarding the feat….

For years, things have been simmering below the surface of Grizzco. Upstarts in the ranks, dissatisfied workers, *vengeful* inkfish, salmonid sympathizers who infiltrated the system to find out how to help, much like the platoon.

Crack teams. Strike forces. secret unions.

There isnt a BIG number of them, and none of them really worked together like a well-oiled machine, but they all had the goal of tearing this damn corporation/mafia apart.

For a variety of reasons, really. For poor conditions or pay. For the deaths of their coworkers. To investigate the big runs in hopes of stopping more in the future. To steal the eggs and return them to sea.

The platoon pokes here and there, and does their own share of this backbreaking work. The second everyone got paid... these groups opened the floodgates. Theres a lot of em, grizzco cant get em all. (And the activities cant be tracked back to the platoon, unlike other times like the Cap4 saga.)

Nobody knew they were working alongside the legendary NSS.

----------

A pal of mine puts it best...

Imagine knowing your partner, sibling, best friend died and finding out it wasn't just them dying defending the places... they died cause some corporate fuck orchestrated the whole series of big runs.

And in the future, these groups catch wind of what the NSS knows. That the big runs were all Grizzco made. This drives most of the shills into a frenzy. Most of all the high-value volunteers who were only there for the grand run but was trapped by the corporation.

---------

Come a whole 24 hours after the grand run, Grizzco starts panicking.

because only 700 million eggs remained in their stores.

Thats what Neo3 gets for her birthday -- the fact that all the extra eggs were returned to the sea. It rejuvenates her to fight for the future, now that there IS a future to fight for.

More raids continued after, 3 putting her squarely in that leadership position for the NSS's strike force (now including 7 and the crew from the Cap4 arc!)

Eventually, only 500 mil remained. And then grizzco goes on lockdown and....well, lets just say they made some people disappear. None from the platoon's strike force, thankfully. Most were grizzco's own shills, up in the higher ranks. Blamed for the loss of the eggs *and* for not making the number back.

-----------

I wont say tgere werent any casualties on the upstarts, though. Some were caught and are in serious danger from the mafia, though none fell under the jurisdiction of the NSS. The fact is, the NSS wasnt aware of a lot of these cases due to how fractured all the upstarts are. (It allows the movement as a whole to not be immediately shut down after a few get caught, or something. So they say.)

Top 5 Roman Reigns Defenses bc I miss him </3

1. Cody Rhodes v. Roman Reigns

Wrestlemania 39

The drama of it all. Does Roman get to 1000 days? Does the Bloodline fracture completely? Does Cody actually manage it? I like how it was pretty much just about Cody and Roman (and the looming Bloodline wasnt centerstage in this yet). Also, the entrances.

2. Jey Uso v. Roman Reigns

Hell In a Cell 2020

Everything about it worked. Commentary helped emphasize certain storytelling devices here, like pointing out the significance of Jey's lei. They quieted a bit while Roman's ancestors acknowledged him, and timed their delivery of Roman's role as the Tribal Chief with the final camera shot perfectly. Roman, Jey and Jimmy's performances made the gravity of the situation feel palpable. It was what made Roman and a defining moment for the Bloodline.

3. Kevin Owens v. Roman Reigns

TLC 2020

Their rivalry had a lot of highs, especially THIS MATCH! Kevin left it all on the mat. Roman was still showing a new version of himself, so it was fascinating to further discover his flavor of brutality and mercilessness. Intense match. It set a precedent for how Roman's character would maneuver in the future

4. Sami Zayn v. Roman Reigns

Elimination Chamber 2023

An important landmark of a year-long story with the Bloodline. Roman's win was never in doubt tbh but I ate up the actual ringwork and underdog vs top/big dog match narrative. A fully engaged crowd makes things that much more special

5. Drew McIntyre v. Roman Reigns

Clash at the Castle 2022

Felt like Wrestlemania. Drew was the most believable threat behind Cody. and we got Solo's first appearance 😌

Honorable Mention

Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns

Royal Rumble 2022

This match/history/feud haunted Roman's psyche enough to cost him at WM 40. No further explanation needed lol

[aceisgay]

So I had a thought.

*minor out of context spoilers*

At first, I thought Weiss not having powers was to mirror Batman, which in part it was, but he was a Faunus in thier world, so she should have had something. The scene where she dives off the shipping container shows she doesn't truly need it either. It also showcases that Weiss is powerful with or without powers and makes us remember that. But thats not the point of that. We know she is.

I thought on it some more and realized, her being normal, its probably because of her actual semblance. She's come SO far in summoning now she barely has to think on it, has way more control, she's way faster at it, and I believe its because of the trust and love for her team.

She had no semblance because its tied to her actual family. Its so unique, it belongs to the Schnee family. Its literally inherited. But they're fractured atm, and hated by so many, and Atlas, her home, is gone. She cant connect to her powers because of it. We saw her struggle the whole movie about "who she is" without Atlas. She had to sit there with no power or weapon, and rely on RBY, her actual family. With her seeing they ARE a part of her, and knowing who she is, I believe a power wouldve activated at that realization if they hadnt gone into the fake world.

I was a little bummed because it wouldve been so cool to see what her ice could've done, but it gave us a lot of growth on her so I'm not too sad. Also explains why she wasnt a big part of the teasers, she had a whole storyline for herself. It would have given everything away.

read the liar satsuki epiloque and ya know i wasnt sold on satsuki/komachi at first but im slowly coming around. i like the concept of both of them as adults continuing to learn how to navigate their respective abilities together, komachi letting satsuki know when someones death is approaching so she can scout for a phantom corpse, satsuki reminding komachi as many times as needed that she deserves to live in spite of her curse.

i feel like i mightve warmed up to komachi as a character sooner if we got to spend more time with her in this way, although obviously that wouldnt be possible in order to preserve the big twist. still its nice, and more importantly HAPPY ENDING FOR AKIRA! shes a chef!! she gets to keep hanging out with her friends!! i also really like the decision for her to sorta keep her mom more on the fringes of her life. like its nice theyre in contact and on decent terms but i think its a very strong very accurate character decision for akira to be insistent on living apart from her as soon as shes able, and its an equally strong choice to acknowledge that that doesnt sit entirely right with satsuki! even if she respects her decision, of course she wouldnt be able to empathize completely with her reasoning.

part of me does wish the beginning of satsuki and her dads reconciliation was more part of the main series rather than being relegated to the epilogue, but hey im also just glad its finally actually happening. i like getting a little of dads pov here too, and i Love the manga establishing that he doesnt actually still blame satsuki for her mothers death after all these years, in fact he actually fears that his blaming her initially is what set her on a path of "lying" and causing trouble. and in a way hes not wrong!

we also get to see how satsuki is a lot more like her dad than originally indicated; hes where she gets her rock solid and occasionally black and white sense of duty. we see that he blames himself so much when he fails to save a patient that he feels like he has no right to try and console the family, inadvertently making the situation worse, and through that interaction we start to understand the underpinnings of his and satsukis fractured relationship. he messed up and turned on his daughter in a moment of grief, and now he feels like he has no right to be in her life, completely missing the fact that she wants him there, that she does what she does not out of resentment towards him but out of guilt and grief and perhaps above all admiration for his dedication to the preservation of life!

when a father and daughter are simply both too autistic in the same way to communicate openly and healthily. i feel that.

Are Light's eyes canonically orange now?????????? I LOVE JT.

But poor soulless though. Man is not good enough to even have his own set of eyebrows. Maybe thats why he wants control of Lights body. All he wants is eyebrows.

I remember we discussed in Discord the idea of like... Soulless gaining control of Light's body... and since Soulless and Light the exact same person, just with opposite goals, Soulless would be able to speak and operate within Light's body with no problem. He would find the outpost and the kingdom and all of their bases, learn all of their plans and intel, and nobody would know

Terrifying

If it's a battle for control, I'm sure they'll be rapidly swapping back and forth. If only Light had listened!!!!!!! I used to make such a big deal about like,, Light always being told it was His Fault even though it Wasnt all his fault. Really ironic because now it is ENTIRELY lights fault

Like.... the only reason he agreed to work alongside Ruin and Fallen was to get his old crystal back. Which i don't exactly understand? His old crystal is significantly weaker and is also fractured/split. I guess its his only connection to himself back home but I thought he didnt want that connection

Maybe Light still does have a level of want for his universe? That could open up an interesting path cor his character. I don't know. I'm really excited to see what goes down from here

Also RR hitting the 90's in episode counts!!!!

💋 [Freeform - what is something you want to know about one of poster’s fics?] Do you have any specific words that you find recurring through a lot of your fics?

[swampgallows]

after giving it some genuine thought i dont think theres a single dj left on my bucket list. maybe some ‘acts’ like vengaboys or radiorama or something but i think i would be hard-pressed to get super psyched about any particular event again. the problem is, and this was long before covid, that a dj will get booked based on their oldschool rep, but then they play like 2 tracks and the rest is all nuskool schlock, or they’re ‘updates’ of their old tracks. i dont think this is an age thing because i didnt like the direction the hardcore sound was taking even when i was a teenager and i havent liked pretty much anything made since (unless it’s emulating an old sound, but even then it usually cant resist throwing in some ‘nu-k’ type sounds), and instead i found that music that was new to me but old chronologically appealed to me more, going all the way back to italo.

like when uhhh was it hardcore heaven? i dunno some party where they got dj seduction, and everyone was expecting that oldskool toytown or even old rave sound, and instead (per eyewitnesses) it was like two or three happycore tracks and then some nuskool update of hardcore heaven. yawn. htid 2018 was the same, i sat in the bleachers most of the event; the highlight of that entire weekend was the dingy little sideroom at the dna lounge where they were playing shit like brooklyn bounce and cascada—not remixed, not updated, not edited. one of the best events i ever went to wasnt a rave at all but a 90s flashback night for aqua’s anniversary at the lash (rip), it was FREE and i danced all night. 

there’s a new trauma party this summer and it’s gonna have (so far) chosen few, goldie, altern8. but how can trauma beat when it had hardcore for the headstrong? already saw altern8, dyewitness, fucking DIONE???? like goldie’s cool but im not really as into jungle and dnb as gabber. and i saw chosen few in his natural habitat (the netherlands) so like. what will i really be missing? the vibe i guess, and goldie will be beholden to play his classics so maybe the vibe will be the older sound. and it will suck to miss out but again like. am i willing to die for it? lmao. like how can you beat shavo odadjian from soad playing guitar on stage with neophyte. ive been blessed to have gone to some really fucking awesome events in the past but with the fractured state of the scene and, per my friends who still party, absolutely abysmal vibe of recent parties, i really cant imagine who would have to be on the lineup to get my ass out there again. id be more content seeing local djs (covid notwithstanding) playing stuff i actually like than roll up somewhere with big names but shit tunes. it would have to be like beyond the beat levels of insane to pull me back in

[i-sveikata]

hey bestie. i know this is an old work, but can you please tag fractured magic with miscommunication? i could have saved myself a lot of pain and anger that way 😅 genuinely no offense to you, the story is interesting, and you can like whatever evil tropes you like (/j), i just was a little frustrated to find my archnemesis of a trope was a big part about 100k into the work...

anyway, thanks for your consideration i guess? idk, i really hope this doesn't come off aggressive since it's not meant badly at all.

hey anon, no problem ive added the tag now!

though im a little surprised the miscommunication became a thing to you about 100k into the work since its kind of a key theme for the entire story imo.

i honestly thought id covered all of the tags my bad but the system isnt perfect and we're all human and cant know whats going to be upsetting to everyone (and its genuinely impossible to tag for every theme or trope without messing up the ao3 search)

but yeah this ask does kind of come off as bit aggressive considering (i assume) that we're total strangers and have never spoken before???

on a positive note you are in control of your own ao3 experience so you can always click out if something is upsetting to you and all i can really say is that missing that tag wasnt out of maliciousness or any intention to upset you and ive updated it now :)

[uselessworthlesssoul]

What do you do when you find out your life means nothing to anyone? To find out you give your heart and soul and even give your last to help anyone and then find out you arent even worth nothing. Hell thats an understatement, theres not a word for as how low they let me know I am worth. Im tired of fighting and hanging on. Ive picked myself up and tried, tried to tell my self they don't define my worth, I've prayed, ive tried to let it go and so many other things and further I fall. My heart is gone. My body doesn't even know what a heart is anymore. You can try and talk to people and they say your having s pity party or get over it or it will get better all the while the undescribable breath taking pain gets worse. To where I am so low, so worthless that I dont care what anyone says or how they did it theres no telling me otherwise anything different. Im not looking for a pity party. Just needed to get it off my chest. The last time I took my life I tried to get people to listen for 3 days and I wasnt worth listening to. I drove 60 mph with no seatbelt into a power pole and broke it in half 1 month prior to just being in a horrible wreck to where I broke my back in several places ,my neck, my sternum, my ribs, concussion, collapsed lung, my hand and I only got a few more back fracures, a calcaneus heel fracture, a fractured big toe and an unstable vertebrae to where now if i fall the wrong way if get hit the wrong way i have over 50% chance of becoming paralyzed and also I get to live with excruciating body pain every day unless I get back surgery which I wont. I don't say this to get any sympathy. And no thats not me being selfish. Its selfish that people want people to keep living in the pain and torment that they have tried to fix everything to where they finally give up bc they are tired. And Im fucking tired. They say treat people how you want to be treated. Well i do and have and the sweet caring loyal heart I had got ripped out my chest and left me gasping for air begging to feel it beat one more time. All this is no one's fault but my own because I should have never ever trusted anyone or have anyone the benefit of the doubt. I knew better. Afters years of being beaten, molested by family and raped by people you knew and have one set up by your own best friend who got paid for doing it to begging for help anyone to listen having your kids ripped from your arms over something you didn't do and then when they know the kids are your life and in a weak moment you take your own life bc its unbearable being without the reason you lived for knowing at that moment you couldn't stop the hurt and pain they felt they put you in jail and then you finally get them back to have the judge retire and the county not honoring the court order. Having all of that all at once and no one to talk to can cause a person to go mentally unstable especially if they already have a few mental disorders. This world is horrible. People love hurting people. I just want it to stop! Just fucking stop!! I needed to get all this off my chest. Please i dont need any negative comments. I just need someone to listen!!!

[saaowe]

Today I put an oungodly amount of oil in my hair for the sake of not lying in bed… It was okay and greasy. Its good to feel like I am doing something good to look good. It makes me feel like I can be a pretty girl. A feeling of sickening dread lies in there somewhere… Maybe its self hatred… In the bottom of my chest… Maybe because Im a gemini so thats similar to being bipolar. And like, Tauruses are like rocks that move only sometimes. When Im spending two hours talking to the ebay customer service because my account is broken and i want to sell my baggage, I wonder what the passions of the woman in the ebay callcenter are and what her dream (job) may have been, or still is… I wonder if she hates her job. So many people hate their jobs. Because many things are broken, like how what we live in is a lil big broken too. There is a small window of time where I am really truly ready, and the rest of the time im not truly ready for most of the activities that happen to present themselves to me but i go with them anyways. Like i wasnt ready to speak to the lady at the callcenter but I did it anyways because I had to because of a chain of events where ive bought too many clothes I am now responsible for them and need to get rid of them but my account is broken. And that holds up the flow of my events. A lot of life is doing things you dont really wanna do, so i think we have to findpleasure or something similar to pleasure, like interest or learning in the things we dont wanna do. Many things are broken these days but its a matter of maintenance and if you want to use your time to fix them. Thats also if you are able to use your time to fix them. in being alive i have found that there are so many brackets and corners to think around, i can think around these corners for ages and i can think myself through a whole map of a city and navigate to many different points where I have never even been but I know they are there. All of this just to fix a fracture that exists in my imagination and my body only. I cant even put my finger on it, but it is breeding mischief at the bottom of my chest, buried in a messy drawer that i cant even open anymore because something is stuck and i cant figure out what

[introvertedeviant]

I've never been so down in my entire life. I truly don't know what to do. My cat had bone surgery due to a fracture in his right femur. Now 4 weeks after the surgery he is doing worse - he got x rays again today and now it turns out he has a fracture in his left femur and a spine problem. I'm crying just writing this. I can't make out what I'm feeling but it's just anger , sadness and frustration. Im angry bc I could barely afford the surgery which I thought would help him and now he's doing worse and I feel guilty and I wish I never had even done the surgery. Im angry bc I don't know if it's the Vet's fault or if it's what the vet thinks is a bone disease. I don't know. But I'm tired of seeing him like this it's not fair. He just turned 1 and he's gone through so much. He was in such terrible condition when I found him as a kitten. Now he's in pain again and I feel so awful. I just want him to be ok.

[prof-peach]

Hey professor, I've come to quite the predicament: my Tyranitar is showing some dental issues and the local pokemon center wasnt very helpful aside from telling me to "try changing his diet." The big guy eats a lot since he's a bit on the bigger side, and he loves to gnaw on bones, but recently those have been hurting his teeth. I've tried kinda grinding his normal food down and adding more berries to give it some kind of substance, but he doesnt seem too fond of the weird-looking mush in his food bowl. It just bothers me to see him looking so sad and I can tell he's not eating as much as usual. Any suggestions for something that'll help his teeth heal? Or maybe something he'd enjoy until he can handle his usual diet again?

So, turns out your buddy had a big shard between its teeth, was swollen, but I bet the nurses at the centre took one look in his mouth and mistook it for a tooth. Easily done, they can sink quite deep into their mouths.

This species chews, A LOT, and it’s totally fine and a little silly to try to stop that behaviour, so instead keep his diet as is, and just check him regularly for red inflamed areas, swelling, or difficulty chewing. I’ve walked you through what to look for (as shown above) you may also stuck mistake bone shards for tooth, same colour, usually stuck between the teeth themselves, so they easily blend in really well. In the wild these Pokemon will get this issue, and often chew things far too hard out of frustration, to try to dislodge the bone stuck within, so instead just check them regularly, I’ll give you the brace for inside the mouth, to be safe, alwasy use this, when removing bone you may cause a little pain, this can sometimes trigger the tyranitar to close their mouth, and with your arm in it, can end in tears. I’m sure you buddy is well behaved, especially with you but it just is safer for everyone to use the brace. I’ll give you the pliers too, firm grasp, one quick pull, no slow tease just do it like a bandaid and make sure you got a good grip. These are items all serious carnivore trainers should have, just to keep your team in good health. Remember, a tooth won’t budge, but the bone will wobble within the gum, don’t pull something you’re not 100% sure of, but to put your mind at ease, tyranitar regrow teeth and shed them just as fast, so no big issue if you find one or two here and there. Really bad breath can be an indicator of a bigger issue, keep your nose peeled.

With the bone fragment now removed, your bud should be able to eat again, you could let them deal with just raw meats for now, and add in a bone or two after a couple of days once they seem to regain their interest in food. Tooth issues are SO common in tyranitar, it’s one of the biggest reasons I have to handle them, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that. If the pain persists after more than a few days past this fix, it’s time for an X-ray, as this could be a bigger issue. They are bull headed at times, quite literally, and can easily end up with fractures within their jaws that can hurt quite a bit! This doesn’t seem to be the case as I saw clear signs of inflammation.

It’d be worth checking your other partners should they too enjoy a good gnaw, and remember to never cook your bones, as they shatter and shard much more when treated this way. Raw is best for these big beauties. Good luck out there, to all your team and yourself.

[iphoenixrising]

hihi!! i hope youre doing wonderful lovely!!

i was just wanting to get your opinion on something. im always soooo fucking salty when it comes to dick, tim, and damian cause i just always feel like damian came into their lives and dick immediately threw tim away. its like he cant be bothered to be a good brother to more than one kid at a time. (maybe he got that from bruce and his inability to be a decent father to all of his children…) so i was wondering if you think thats like a fair assessment to dick and his character? theres just a lot of stuff that he did when it came to tim and damian that makes me want to put dick in a head lock and make him explain to me wtf hes doing to tim. i wasnt sure if its cause tim’s my favorite and i got some rose colored glasses on or if dick truly is well, a dick, when it comes to tim and him constantly seeming to chose damian over tim.

Hi babe <3

So. So. I've written so many, so fucking many, drabs and things about the pre-New 52 time when Dick prioritized Dami above Tim in the Red Robin series after Bruce was "dead" (reads as missing in time) and Dick obviously gave Damian the mantle of Robin without clearing it with Tim first.

(What a douche move tbh.)

But like, here's the thing about that instance: up until then, Dick was so obviously Tim's big brother and mentor and friend and ally and the person that actually gave more of a fuck about the third Robin than his own fucking parents did. Dick wore the cowl after Jean-Paul Valley and was totally Tim's Batman for a while, was there through a lot of the shit Tim was going through in his initial 20 year Robin run.

Dick was absolutely family and prioritized Tim so much during those years. (He literally fought the Justice League over letting Young Justice keep fighting crime. Dick Grayson FTW)

So when Dick pretty much yanked the cape out from under Tim, it was very out of character. I feel like this was just another instance of bad, lazy writing to push a plot point in which Tim takes on another name and leaves Gotham on the journey to find Bruce that he knows is alive. I think the writers wanted to up readership of the new Red Robin series and started off with angst and Tim on his own rather than have some kind of understanding between the new B and the current Robin that it was time for him to move on.

(I've written fix-its of this before. Some with hurt/comfort, some with a big old fuck you and the zip line you rode in on. See No Home for Dead Birds.)

I also don't feel like Dick can only be a good brother to one Robin at a time, but rather, the writers knew Tim was going to have to go on this self-discovery by himself, so giving Dick a new Robin to train while wearing the cowl was a way to keep them busy so Tim could have this solo book without the same safety net and opened up the storyline to new characters (Tam, Z, Pru, and Owen), to give Tim space to grow up a little more (becoming an emancipated minor, being called "Detective" by Ra's al Ghul, becoming the CEO of Wayne Enterprises, etc.). This was supposed to be the series that transitioned Tim from a 20 year teenage Robin into a young adult like Dick.

New 52, however, ret-conned so much of his OG backstory and really fucked his personality over, so the realization that could have happened with the Red Robin series didn't get to come to fruition.

...which is why I started Fracture, tbh.

I hope this gives a little more perspective, babe <3

[obeiii-mee]

Hi there! Im back, tysm for doing my HC ;;/ it was super cute, i really liked Mammons and Satans!! If you dont mind if i ask for another? Hdjsks Recently, i slipped while walking home with some pals and scrapped my knee. It wasnt too bad, but it sure looked bad lmao If you can could you do HCs for the boys reacting to MC slipping and scrapping there knee while walking w them? Im sure Mammon would have a heart attack hfjd Tysm!! Keep up the good work♡

Thank you so much! I hope your knee gets better and that it wasn’t too painful! The brothers would all be panicking in their own way but I agree, Mammon would faint or something lmao.

Hope this was OK.

————————————

The Brothers with an MC who fell and scraped their knee:

Lucifer:

-It was a miracle you managed to convince him to come out on a walk with you at all

-The man doesn’t know when to take a break from his work

-He’s more likely to accept if it’s you asking tho, he has an obvious soft spot for you

-The others call him a suck up behind his back because of it

-You were so happy that you managed to pry Lucifer away from his desk, you were basically skipping alongside him

-Long story short, you tripped over your own two feet and fell

-Luckily, your knees and palms were the only things that got a bit scruffy

-Well, actually your right knee looked as if someone tried removing your entire knee cap with a scalpel, skin and all but adrenaline was kicking in and you couldn’t feel much

-You’ve never seen Lucifer freeze the way he did then

-His mind just drew a blank

-You were about to shrug it off and call it a day, get up and continue your walk but daddy Lucifer can’t have that

-He has six younger brothers (and a younger sister at some point) he is pretty experienced when it comes to treating injuries

-You aren’t walking for the rest of the day, let me make this clear

-He will carry you back to the House of Lamentation no matter how much you protest

-In case it wasn’t obvious already, Lucifer gives off massive dad vibes and now he’s bandaging your leg while you’re laying down on his bed

-While the rest of the brothers watch the two of you from behind the door frame because they are all equally worried

-Get ready for the three hour lecture coming your way

-He’s pissed and amused at the same time tbh

-Silly human, falling over like that and hurting themselves

-Lord Diavolo forbid you try to get out of that bed, he will drag you back and make sure you stay there until your knee is better (kinky)

Mammon:

-He was on his merry way to the casino to blow off all of Lucifer’s money and you tagged along solely for the purpose of making sure he didn’t spend all of Lucifer’s money

-You’d both be done for if he did

-But I guess fate really had it out for you on that day since your foot slipped on....something and you tripped

-Both of your knees looked bloody and damaged as hell but you were more irritated than anything

-Mammon on the other hand did a fucking double take and almost passed out

-He screeched his lungs out

-One look at your injured knees and he was ready to drag you all the way to the human realm on foot to find you a doctor

-“MC ARE YOU OK WHY THE FUCK IS THERE SO MUCH BLOO-HOLY SHIT STAY STILL DON’T MOVE! THE GREAT MAMMON WILL FIX THIS...SOMEHOW.”

-It was very dramatic, he cried

-You stood up to prove that you were alright because you thought he was going to have a seizure soon enough

-OK, that helped him calm down a little

-At least now he knew your legs weren’t about to get torn off and you weren’t on the verge of death

-Fuck the casino, you were going home

-Like Lucifer, don’t expect you will walk home by yourself

-He will carry you, a bit embarrassed by his initial freak out but still eyeing your wound, concerned

-As soon as you get home and the other brothers help you out because he’s shit at bandaging, he just sits in his own pool of misery and guilt

-Your poor knees wouldn’t be so jacked up if you hadn’t come along with him today

-He was so determined to make it up to you, he stayed by your bedside like a loyal puppy with a wagging tail (flashback to the animal event)

-Overall, he almost went into cardiac arrest and was too panicked to realise you were fine

-You thought he was smothering and overprotective before? Good luck for the rest of the week

Levi:

-“See, this is why I don’t like going out. There’s always some normie laying on the groun- OH MY LORD DIAVOLO, MC IS THAT YOU?? ARE YOU OK?”

-HIS HENRY ALMOST DIED ON THE NEWLY POLISHED FLOOR OF AN ANIME CONVENTION, HE HAS VERY MIXED EMOTIONS

-You fell knees first and hurt them quiet badly but you could stand, even if the pain made you twitch a little

-This confused Levi because you looked fine even though your knees certainly didn’t

-You told him you felt alright and it wasn’t that big of a deal and he absolutely rolled with it

-But you guys still went home after that

-He said it was because you bled all over your cosplay but that’s just him being a tsundere

-Levi is usually very shy when it comes to physical contact but he firmly insisted that he help you walk home

-I mean, he knows you said you were feeling OK and maybe humans just have a lot of tolerance for injuries like that

-But he still felt it was necessary that he took you home and checked out your injuries

-He kept the mood light while disinfecting you’re wound with some help from Satan by talking about how the convention went

-High low-key relieved seeing you walk around like normal two minutes after that

-He started bitching to you about how you made him miss his the event but he didn’t mean any of it

-“Stupid normie, making me miss my favourite Ruri-chan event. You’re lucky I love you and think you’re cute....did I just say that out loud??”

Satan:

-Oh dear, why would you go out for a walk in the middle of a rainstorm? What were you thinking?

-Actually, it was Satan’s idea

-He may be a demon and the prince of Wrath no less, but he is such a sappy, cheesy bastard at times

-He definitely thinks that walking and kissing in the rain is very romantic (bet he read something like that in an erotica)

-You know what’s not romantic blondie? Slipping on a very small puddle and potentially fracturing your leg

-It was just a scraped knee but you were frustrated enough to be extra

-He’s helping you up before you even have the chance to realise you fell in the first place

-Your knee was looking pretty bad so you guys went home just to avoid any further casualties

-He’s actually chuckling all the way back while you playfully glare at him because how dare he laugh at your misery?

-Date night was ruined but at least he got to take care of you

-He knew your knee must have hurt and he felt bad but he couldn’t help but giggle a bit to himself because your fall was so comical

-Ah but he does enjoy fussing over you for the rest of the night a bit too much

Asmo:

-You thought Mammon was melodramatic?

-Take a look at this fucking guy

-He actually screeches even louder than his brother and probably falls to his knees too (but not really because those pants were expensive)

-His screams definitely got the attention of at least 10 random passerbyers

-He’s actually on the verge of crying

-I mean, can you blame him?? Look at your beautiful knees!! They were ruined

-He felt so bad for you, he actually babied the hell out of you that day

-“Asmo, it’s fine. It’s just a scrap.”

-“A SCRAP, MC IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR KNEE IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF YOUR POOR SKIN-“

-It was just a scrap but Asmo’s secret talent is being extra as fuck

-He totally spilled all the tea to the rest of the brothers when he got home

-And then he ushered you into his room

-Funnily enough, he’s pretty good with injuries. Not as much as Satan and Lucifer but still

-He pampered you for the next few hours but that image of your skin being all grazed like that will forever haunt him

-How can you not be so bothered by it?? He’d die if he was in your place

-I love Asmo just because of how dramatic he is

Beel:

-Your shoelaces were undone and of course that meant a fun little trip to the floor of Hell’s Kitchen

-Beel didn’t notice you fell at first, he was concentrating on his food and assumed you were next to him

-But then he realised that you weren’t and for a moment he thought you disappeared or something

-Before he turned to find you laying on the floor, curled up because life was pain and you were suffering

-“Are you OK? Or are you just tired? Belphie does that a lot when he’s tired.” Or depressed one might say

-But for real, he’s good at identifying serious wounds and less serious wounds since he’s an athlete

-He can tell your knees were bleeding way more than they should have from just a simple scrap

-He slinged you over his shoulder and carried you, calmly, back home, with a burger still in his hand

-He’s actually really collective and talked to you while cleaning up your injury to take your mind off the pain

-He knows humans are a little more fragile than demons so even though he knows it’s not a big deal, he can’t help but worry

-It’s kinda hard falling around him tho because chances are, he will actually catch you even if he happens to hold something

-He’s sad if you’re sad so please don’t cry he will bandage your scraped knee do you want the last bit of his burger to make you feel better?

-Comfort hugs afterwards!

-Which is awesome because Beel gives out best hugs :)

Belphie:

-Ah yes, another beautiful day at RAD

-Walking alongside with your grumpy and sleepy boyfriend when a random demon bumps into you

-Wel not bumps, more like shoves you so hard you fall down and tear the fabric of your pants

-While the dude shrugs it off and speeds away

-You were a bit pissed off because rude

-But Belphie was fucking fuming

-He felt so offended on your part

-I mean, the nerve of him

-He was tired as shit but he wanted to chase after him and throw hands, possibly fill his pillow with rocks and hit him over the head with it

-He forced himself to focus on you first before hunting the moron down

-He was a bit concerned when he didn’t see you come back up after you fell

-Turns out, you scraped your knee pretty horribly and now you were bleeding all over the floor

-He’s even more quiet than usual as he helps you up and half carries you to your next class

-He starts taking care of your knee in the middle of DevilDom history he doesn’t give a flying fuck

-He’s still furious by the time he gets home and most of his brothers know to leave him be when he makes that scary ass face

-No talk to him

-He angy

-“Does your knee still hurt?”

-“A bit but it’s not-“

-“Come nap with me.”

-“Why?”

-“Naps shall cure your pain.”

-“...”

-“Nah but for real come take a nap with me.”

-Next day at school, the dude from yesterday walks by him and Belphie smashes his head against the wall

-Before walking away as if nothing happened

-I stan protective Belphie

These HCs are really bad but I love them anyway

hockey au angst anyone? like you said steve is a little shit, he doesnt know when to stop, after pestering some hunk on the other team all game it ended up getting him slammed into the boards, and got his leg stomped on, with a skate, hard. of course billy went fucking feral on that guy and shoved him down onto the ice and got a good punch in, he WANTED to slam on his leg just like he did to steve but in the moment he was too worried about actual Steve is was still lying on the ice half conscious, maybe his leg ended up being broken and he wasnt allowed to play for a little bit which really really bummed him out cause this is practically what he lives for now ?:(

steve just knows how to get on people’s nerves- billy always tells him your pretty little mouth will only get you in trouble. and he knew it was true. knew that every time he said something snarky, he’d get his ass handed to him. but he didn’t think it would get this far. never thought he’d almost lose a leg.

he barely registers being thrown to the ground before he feels the guy’s blades kicking into his leg and he’s met with a mix of sharp stinging and numbness.

and billy doesn’t see it, but he hears the ugly snap. hears steve scream in pain when it happens.

the other guy is just realizing what he’s done, and before he has time to regret doing it, he’s being toppled to the floor, his head is hitting the ice extremely hard. he can’t even react from the constant blows to his face. and billy’s fucking punching the hell out of this guy- but he can hear steve whimpering. saying “fuck, okay. fuck, billy stop. ah shit. shit. fuck..” in between labored breaths. and billy automatically knows that this isn’t like the other times steve got hurt. so he finishes off with a merciless blow to the guys stomach before skating towards steve.

and steve’s bleeding. a lot. he let’s out a shuddering gasp when billy leans down next to him. he says, “I’m okay, billy, I’m okay. I’m okay.” 

it doesn’t sound like he’s talking to billy, it sounds like he’s convincing himself that he’s okay. which..he’s not. but steve isn’t even looking at his leg. his face is turned away, too scared to see. and although his hand is clutching at it, and he can feel something warm dripping, he’s still convinced that he’s okay. he’s always okay.

“yeah. you’re okay, baby..” billy tries to reassure, but there’s a slight tinge of panic in his voice, “i- i just need you to take those skates off.”

people quickly crowd around them and steve ends up being carried onto a gurney, leaving a trail of red on the ice. the paramedics slowly tug those skates off as steve groans and squeezes billy’s hand like his life depends on it. and billy takes steve’s helmet off to brush the hair out of his face. he’s seconds away from stomping over to the other guy and running the blade of his skates over his leg when the EMTs say that they had to push the gurney out of the ice like a sled, and billy just knows that if steve wasn’t injured right now, he’d be enjoying the hell out of this ride.

they get to the hospital and steve ends up needing surgery. a fissured fracture and a laceration of the ankle.

when he wakes up, steve isn’t mad at the guy. he isn’t mad about being injured. at least not as much as he is pissed at himself for having to be out for the entire season. because this is what he was good at. hockey is his thing and now he’ll be missing out on the big games- while the other guy only got suspended from two games of the competition.

and he beats himself up over it. says that he should’ve kept his mouth shut (which- he should’ve- but that doesn’t give the other guy the right to do what he did) while billy’s just trying to convince him that it’s okay. because steve will get back up again and he’ll be one of the best on the team. but he needs to actually rest to do that.

he gets to him in the end- and steve is pouting because he has to (he doesn’t have to. he’s mostly there to support his boyfriend) go to the games that he should’ve been playing in.

but its actually not as bad as he thought it would be. because, from the bench, he can actually watch and stare at billy as he plays.

and he’s constantly cheering him on, even when he gets a penalty. “nice penalty, hargrove! attaboy!” he yells, in the deepest voice he can muster, when billy gets a penalty for elbowing the guy who put steve here in the first place.

when they get to playoffs, billy is wearing steve’s jersey- is wearing his last name. and the commentator keeps referring to him as harrington, saying, “playing like hell tonight, harrington!”

and steve oddly likes the sound of that. likes it way too much. billy harrington, he hums to himself. it also feels like the commentator is talking about him, in some way. so it makes him feel good even though he’s not playing. billy looks at steve and suggestively licks his lips when he skates by him. and steve’s not okay. he’s so not okay when billy slides up to tap on the glass and give steve a little wave with a smile to check in, “okay there?”

and okay, he did feel terrible about not being able to play, but things weren’t that bad. besides, the team won and he got the sweetest kisses in the locker room to make up for not being able to play the game. so who’s to complain?
