GOOD MORNING ONLY TO OUR NEW YINWAR SERIES

They weren't taking the piss out of us when they said the left clues in their MV:

Serendipity

"Billy wasn't sure what the creature ransacking his train car was.” Alternatively, Billy feeds a stray and ends up with a roommate.

WC: 1215

Serendipity (n): the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

──── ∘°❉°∘ ────

Billy wasn't sure what the creature ransacking his train car was. Granted, the train car wasn't in the most hidden place ever, but he had made sure to ward it against most creatures. The ward would have made one unable to see the train, and if they somehow saw it anyways, they would have been turned around. He usually was pinged if anything passed his wards, which was why he was so blindsided to see something moving around in his train car. It seemed that this one had slipped through his protections. 

The creature was strange and almost hard to look at directly. Its blinding white hair moved independent from the wind and twined around its long, pointed, mint colored ears. It was also small, small enough that Billy thought it could comfortably fit into his cupped hands, and wearing some sort of skin tight suit, black with a stripe of silver along its torso. Or what appeared to be its torso, Billy couldn't really tell when its lower body faded into a long tail.

From his perspective, it seemed to be rummaging through where he usually hides his food, showing slivers of its white paws. Did it pass through the barriers he set because it was hungry? 

Billy approached the creature quietly, making sure not to get too close, he wouldn't want to startle it. His efforts were in vain though as the creature snapped its head towards him. It's glowing eyes like headlights, as if staring into Billy’s soul. The green in its eyes swirling hypnotically as the creature bristled at his presence. 

Billy watched, amused but vigilant, as the creature puffed up like a cat. Even going so far as to swat a couple times in his direction. So far, it was quite harmless, but the buzzing in the back of his head that he usually equated to Solomon told him to be careful.

Billy slowly dropped to his knees, mindful of the creature's reaction, and shifted his bag to his front. He shuffled through his bag and brought out the small piece of jerky he was saving for later, sliding it slowly towards the creature.

The creature tilted its head, staring at the jerky suspiciously before taking a few steps to paw at it. It apparently passed its test as it devoured the jerky surprisingly fast for its small size. While it seemed to be starving, thankfully it didn't reflect onto its body. It wasn't gaunt or thin, but actually quite plump. Perhaps it just didn't eat for a day or two? 

Billy took a small step forward, then a few more when he realized the creature was focused on eating. “So,” He began softly, the creature startling as if it was just realizing he was so close. “What are you doing here, little guy?”

It stared at him silently before once again tilting its head. It was cute, Billy realized. The chubby cheeks and button nose paired with big, shiny eyes made it endearing to look at. His expression melted slightly as he took a closer look at the creature.

The creature's ear flicked as it padded up to him, paws on Billy’s knees. It let out an unintelligible sound, layered and harsh to Billy's ear, yet somehow melodious. Billy blinked, not expecting that noise. The creature looked at him almost expectantly, eyes shining brightly.

Billy hesitantly brought his knuckles closer to the creature, feeling its cold nose as it sniffed him. It was clearly unimpressed and trilled for more food. Billy chuckled under his breath as he brought another piece of jerky to the needy creature. It gobbled it up swiftly, looking up at him and once again begging for more, its eyes almost sparkling.

Billy folded under the cuteness overload and retrieved a sandwich from his bag, splitting it in half. He was worried that it would eat more than it could handle if he kept feeding it. He knew very well what that felt like.

The creature blinked at him, once, twice, before giving him a small, pleasant trill and headbutted his fingers. Billy cautiously set his hand over its silky hair? Fur? All he knew was that it felt divine, though not in the godly way. 

“What are you?” Billy asked as he wove his fingers through its hair, genuinely curious on what species the creature was. He had inputted a lot of creatures in his ward but he had no clue what this one was. The tingling at the back of his head spoke otherwise, Solomon knowing very well what it was. He could transform and ask Solomon, since he couldn't really speak to him unless he was Captain Marvel, but that would just scare the creature.

It gave him a look before resuming its lunch, finishing it in record time. Apparently, it deigned him worthy of its presence on his lap as it kneaded his legs then curled up onto them. The purring surprised him, pausing when the creature gave him an impatient look when he halted his ministrations on its hair.

He resumed, of course. Why wouldn't he? It was a nice reprieve from fighting villains as Captain Marvel and watching out for himself when he was on the streets. It was just a quiet moment between him and the strange creature that broke into his home. 

…He hadn't realized how lonely he was before this. 

He had friends, of course. Freddy, Tawky Tawny, and the Justice League. But… this just wasn't the same. As good as a friend Freddy was, he doubted that he would be willing to just sit and enjoy each other's company silently. Freddy was a huge superhero fan and couldn't help but talk about them in excitement. Not to mention his analyses on Billy’s techniques as Captain Marvel.

The Justice League wasn't any better. They had a professional relationship, thinking of him more as a coworker than a friend. The times he tried to deepen their friendship by inviting them out, he was unfortunately turned down. It seemed that they got along better when they were in battle than not.

Billy usually went to Tawky Tawny for advice, but Tawky Tawny never turned down the opportunity to just spend time in the other’s company. Unfortunately, those times were far and few between, usually because Tawky Tawny was traveling or busy with something else. 

With this creature— he’d have to name it eventually, Billy thought absently—all that was expected of him was companionship, nothing more.

Billy felt a cool paw pat his face, the creature looking up at him concerned. His eyes widened before he let out a huff, ruffling its hair. The creature let out a disgruntled chuff and phased through his hands then batted at them, settling down once more on his lap once it was done. 

It hadn't been with him long, all he had done was give it some food, and it was already trying to comfort him. Admittedly, it wasn't the best comfort, it stopped once he focused on it, but it wasn't something he expected from a creature he met not an hour ago.

Billy smiled, eyes soft. Perhaps it could stay, if only for a while.

HBHBHB is still rotating in my head. Kon trusts Clark! He almost never asks for his help because he's Kon, but when he's truly terrified out of his mind, that's who he calls for! And Superman came! Because if Kon is calling for his help, he'll always come. In fact, he's gonna come as fast as he can physically get there, because Kon never asks for help, so if he's actually calling for him, it must be so so serious. And he's ready to bring down the wrath of god on whoever is scaring his little guy that badly. OUGH!

YEAAA <333 it's about kon's absolute faith in him. the way kon looks up to him so much at the end of "the return of superman" and then all throughout sb94 is just so... 🥺🥺 he's generally very independent and doesn't wanna have to rely on anyone else, but the second he gets pushed over that tipping point, of course he's gonna call clark. who else would save him, if not superman? ♥

and yeah there's a clark pov outtake in my mind where he's sitting there in a meeting with lois and perry when he hears kon start screaming and he just fuckin books it. lois can handle the excuses he's just GONE. nothing to it. his little guy needs him and he is Going.

"From" only in the sense of living here for the longest compared to anywhere else, haha. Where am I even really from?.. a deep question never to be answered. Now I gotta wonder why you thought Louisiana though. It's the vampire vibes, right?

Question 20: Free space! Talk about whatever's on your mind!

Wooh, last question! Thank you for the spam, Reem! I feel like I did a whole-ass interview typing all my thoughts like that but I'm glad you did. It's nice to willingly talk about my thoughts because there's someone asking. Funny thing is that I have another exam I should be studying for but I ended up being here on Tumblr, unsurprisingly AHAHA. I will do just that after I post this answer though, no worries. Anyhow, I hope you have a nice day, Chaiweenie <33

I randomly thought of the idea for the Chaos Emeralds being sentient and being able to like "talk" to Sonic as just a throwaway, funny lil idea- but now Sonic actually being besties with the Emeralds won't get out of my head.

(Lana's POV)

FORD & COLLINS WEDDING WEEKEND

Day 3 - Wedding Day

We're married! On a wonderful spring afternoon, we became Mr & Mrs Parker Collins and it was the best day of my life (second to when I was saved, of course!) We started the morning in our respective areas at my church, my girls and I sang hymns as we got ready and it perfectly set the tone for the day. Once we were ready Parker and I had a prayer (with him blindfolded so he wouldn't see me) before we both left for the ceremony. I did a first look with my dad whilst Parker and the bridal party started heading up the aisle, my dad and I then started making our way to the ceremony, where he prayed before we walked down the aisle. Parker's dad led the service, as he's done for the 7 previous weddings of Parker's siblings, it's so special for him to be the one to marry his children and help them in the creation of such a sacred union.

The vows felt like a dream, I got a bit choked up and the girls handed me a tissue but we got through it. We sang hymns constantly throughout the ceremony, Parker and I wanted to elevate the Lord throughout the whole ceremony, singing also helped calm the wedding nerves that were racing through me. After the ring exchange we lit the unity candle and our parents came and joined us for a prayer from both our fathers.

Our first kiss was nothing short of magical! I'm so thankful that my parents raised me to save my first kiss for my husband, and Parker shares the same sentiment. There's special bond that's created when a couple are each other's first 'everything' and I'm so thankful that this is the case for Parker and I.

The reception was held at the church hall, which thankfully was big enough for all our guests. The food was definitely a labour of love, I wanted a full spread that would keep everyone full after an afternoon outside. Our caterers did such an amazing job, We had an assortment of salads, dinner rolls with either butter, honey, or jam, chicken alfredo, shrimp gnocchi, tonnes of roast chicken, vanilla squares, and a boatload of doughnuts - to name a few. There was more than enough food to go around for everyone, and the leftovers were split up between family members to take home.

We cut the cake after most guests had finished eating, we had our smaller couples cake and then served the guests that same cake flavour in sheet form. Parker gave me free reign on the cake flavours, he doesn't eat much cake so I went with a strawberry and vanilla flavoured cake with a buttercream frosting - and it tasted amazing.

We chose to have a sweetheart table and not a joint bridal party head table, we put our parents and bridal party on distinct but separate tables close to ours. Our siblings had conspired to buy bags of Simshey's Kisses and put one on each table, and at random intervals during the reception someone would hand us a piece of chocolate and demand that the bride and groom kiss! We made up for our entire courtship and engagement period with just the kisses at the reception! After hours of fellowshipping with our friends and family celebrating our union, we did a sparkler send off before we headed back to my parent's house so we could get changed and fly to the airport for our flight to Sulani.

I've had this AU in my head for ages but I only just got the nerve to submit it lol (long ask ahead, sorry)

Anyway so basically it's like: what if the brothers' fall goes entirely different. This is half serious and half crack? But basically after falling, instead of ending up in the Devildom they land in the human world, in animal forms. So like Lucifer's a peacock, Mammon's a crow, Levi's a snake, Satan's a cat, Asmo's a rabbit, Beel's one of those big dogs that go boof, Belphie's a fox. (I was going to go demonic animal for all of them, but then Beel would be a fly and Satan would be a unicorn which don't exist, and that's tricky to work with lol)

Basically they can communicate with each other but they can't speak like verbally, they can still do simple magic but no demon form transforming. They're just kinda stuck in animal form for some reason.

Ik sees a tattered crow hopping about by the road on her way home from school. It keeps getting startled by the cars but it's not flying away, and it looks really close to getting hit, which she's worried about. So she tries to shoo it away, and the crow stops and looks at her with these big dark eyes and she can't help but feel like it *understands* her when she tells it that it's dangerous by the road.

Next day the crow is there again, and this time it's staying away from the curb, as if it *listened* to her. And for some reasons he can't stop thinking about it... so the next day she buys a little bag of nuts on the way back, and when she sees the crow by the road again she scatters some of them for it, which it seems to appreciate.

Ik feeds the crow for a week before it's already comfortable enough to hop right up to her and wait for its snack. While she's watching it eat, she'll talk to it. After another week it seems to be *looking forward* to seeing her, because it sits on a tree watching the path she takes and visibly perks up when it spots her coming around the corner, and it seems to listen very intently when she's talking. It's like having a best friend.

Then one day the crow follows her home. Ik waves to it when she goes inside and it's gone by morning. And it isn't there in the usual place after school...

Then she gets home and finds the crow waiting on her doorstep. When it spots her it squawks happily and then calls to something. And then six animals that you would NOT expect a crow to be acquainted with emerge from hiding in a bush nearby. Does that dog have a fox AND a snake on its back? Is that a fucking *peacock*?!

Okay. This is weird and definitely not normal. "Are these your friends?" she asks the crow, as if it understands. Then the crow *nods*.

Basically Ik takes in the animal-brothers and takes care of them as best she can in her little house. (Bonus: cut to Diavolo and Barbatos in the Devildom, extremely panicked and confused about where those fallen angels ended up if they're not here)

I've got more thoughts but I'd like to know what you think first hehee

OOOOO I LIKE IT VERY MUCH!! i agree that this is a very half and half au, so let me think about the serious half for a moment...

if this happens directly after the fall, then there's a lot of interesting dialogue coming from the fact that all that war trauma's very fresh... though potentially, they'll all heal from it a lot more healthily, rather than repressing for centuries on end until a kid who cares too much shows up. this time, the kid who cares too much is right there immediately

i reckon the other brothers, especially lucifer and the twins, would be quite standoffish with ik at first. like, they'll acknowledge her help and be grateful for it, but belphie'll snap if she gets too close and lucifer doesn't like being alone in a room with her. but i think satan would latch onto her company quite quick actually - since he's new to, like, existing, and isn't quite sure how to be around his new brothers

mammon of course has decided ik is his new bestest friend ever. part of it is because his brothers are all very sombre and he doesn't know how to handle grief properly, so he's glad to have someone to just goof off with - part of it's because ik's the first face he saw after landing and he's, like, imprinted

(he did see other humans but none stopped long enough for him to get a look at them, and ik's the first one that approached him in good nature)

ik's main concern is not having a lot of room for all these animals, plus letting them get out. levi doesn't wanna anyway, she can be pretending to walk a dog with beel, mammon can just kinda go fly on his own and will look normal, belphie, asmo and satan won't look that out of place outside - the main issue is lucifer, because peacocks are not a normal sight in urban england

she resorts to waiting until the dead of night so that lucifer can get some air and loses a fair amount of sleep over it, and this is part of the reason lucifer starts warming up to her :')
