#they're such dads and I LOVE it. Surprise found family fluff is the BEST!!!

[angel-of-the-moons]

I haven’t stopped thinking about that Hobie baby fever fic ever since you posted it. Many thoughts. Many thoughts many many thoughts and ideas many many little ideas.

You have people saying ‘Oh good luck lol kids are SO hard!’ ‘He’s definitely gonna regret it you’re gonna be a single parent’. But Hobie’s probably been WISHING from a young age he could be a parent, the only thing he didn’t prep for is your little one grabbing his wicks and him nervously calling out “Luv, luv help me LUV-”. He learnt very quickly to tie his hair back when he’s holding them. If you have a little girl, everyone always thinks it’s you who’s done her hair for the day or for school. NOPE. Hobie’s been with her in the bathroom since 6 in the morning putting her in braids and buns. Your baby is his whole world and he’ll be DAMNED if he won’t be the absolute best dad EVER ‼️

Oh my godddddddddd my ovaries went 💥💥

The Pitter Patter of Little Feet Pt. 2

Dad!Hobie x Wife!Reader

TW/CW: A lil angst at the start, Fluff. So much fluff.

A/N: I'm basing all my baby prep off of the things I had to do for my nephew. I am unsure the proper care that goes into textured hair but I hope I can do it justice!

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

You remember what people told you, how "someone like him" wouldn't be able to handle being a dad, how he'd leave you. The words said by your mother hurt the worst, the things she said about Hobie. Your father was no better, especially when they found out you two agreed to get pregnant before anything else.

Especially after you put the positive pregnancy tests, the test results from blood work with your doctor, and some baby booties on the table as a surprise.

It was supposed to go like you imagined, right? Happy jubilant crying, hugs, congratulations...

You got the exact opposite, with your parents criticizing everything about your boyfriend, the father of your unborn baby. The man you loved.

"What kind of father would he be? A bad one, just look at how he's dressed! You think he can help dress your child?" Your mother scoffed. "And those awful piercings! I bet your baby will be running around with holes in their face by the time they're six!"

"And what about a job? You can't be the only one to support your family. He's a man, he needs to step up and quit it with that "punk lifestyle". It's not suitable to raise my grandchild in!" Your father grunted.

After your baby was born, you cut them off and had a courthouse wedding, and a little get-together with his friends from the Spider Society. A mix of a reception and baby shower.

Joke's on them! Hobie was an amazing father, and an amazing husband. The moment he found out you two were having a little girl?

Pink. And. Purple. Her style would be all punkish of course.

He got stuffed instruments that crinkled for when she would teethe, some guitar-shaped rattles...

And he would never admit it, but Hobie actually cried, when he got to hold your baby girl for the first time. You guys named her Selena. Selena Brown.

She came out angry, wailing, as if she was pissed off at the world she had only been in for a few moments.

"Already got the spirit! Make a big noise, a big statement. That's my girl!" Hobie laughed, playing with her tiny feet.

After that, Hobie was very attentive. From you working from home, he would help. He'd fetch the breast pump when you needed it, would prep the bottles, and keep Selena occupied while you worked. He would even take the late shifts at night to make sure you got your rest.

As Selena got bigger, her hair became a bit unruly, and at times you had no idea what to do with it. Hobie? He came in clutch. The proper ties, hair masks, grease (if needed), oils, brushes...

The trick was getting the rambunctious one year old to hold still while her father attempted to tame the poofy mass.

It was one day, you got up from your computer only to hear Hobie shout your name.

"Babe! Babe!" He cried out, grunting.

Of course, you made a dash for the living room, only to see your husband with your toddler. Apparently she had moved behind him, her hands clinging to his shirt to help keep her balanced as she bounced on her little chubby feet.

Her big brown eyes gleamed as she giggled, her bottom teeth poking out in the most adorable way.

Well... it wasn't from where Hobie sat.

Selena's little fist had a tight hold over one of his wicks, tugging his head back sharp.

"A lil' help, luv?!" He winced, hissing at you as you covered your face to try and keep from laughing.

"Come on, Bug, give daddy's poor head a rest. He's got enough problems with that mess he calls hair." You tease, scooping up your little girl.

But... even though her grip loosened, Hobie's wick stayed attached to her hand.

"Oh... ohhhhh..." You said, clicking your tongue.

"What! What!" Hobie groaned, trying to tug his head free.

"You made me have a spider baby."

"We're her favorite uncles"|| Joe Burrow x reader

•pairing: Joe Burrow x reader

•prompt: no prompt, requested by @anda-the-panda

•summary: You and Joe take baby Josie to meet her uncles

•warning: dad joe, newborn baby, crying, mentions of pregnancy, lots of fluff<3

Pulling into the parking lot of Paycor stadium, you couldn't help but smile. Today was the day you and Joe would finally be introducing Josie to some of her uncles, AKA, Joe’s teammates. Just like you and Joe, the guys have been patiently waiting to meet sweet little Josie ever since they found out you were pregnant with her. Once in a spot close enough so the two of you wouldn’t have to walk too far, Joe put the car in park and unbuckled his seatbelt, you doing the same. The two of you stepped out of the vehicle, excited to go inside and introduce the newest member of the Burrow family. Joe grabbed Josie, who was peacefully sleeping in her car seat while you made sure to grab her diaper bag. It took Joe a moment to get Josie’s car seat undone from the backseat, careful not to disturb his sleeping daughter. Once Joe got the carseat out from the car he walked around to the front of his car, there you stood waiting for your two loves with a soft smile.

Joe smiled, “You ready?" You nodded, "Yeah. I’ve been ready since she was in my belly." you smiled, stroking Josie’s soft cheek as she slept. Joe smiled at the gesture, placing his hand on the small of your back as the two of you began walking towards the doors of Paycor. Upon walking into the stadium, you were greeted with an unusual silence.

"Huh," you hummed, "I wonder where everyone is?" Joe smiled slightly, looking down at his sleeping baby, "I think I know where they might be..."

You glanced up at him, "You know something I don't?" He shrugged, smirking slightly, "maybe." You shook your head, following Joe through the stadium. Joe was always full of surprises. but of course you still love him. As the two of you walked through the stadium and got closer to a conference room, you could hear Zac Taylor giving the guys a speech.

"Now that Joe's gone with his new baby, I need you all to step up before he gets back for the championship game. I need your best effort. I get it, we all have shitty days, but-." Zac stopped when he heard gasps throughout the conference room. Zac rolled his eyes and snapped, "Guys! Focus, please-."

"They're alright Zac," Joe spoke, a soft smile on his face as the two of you walked into the room. Joe looked amongst his joyful teammates. A bright smile appeared on your face as you saw that the conference room was full of some of Joe's teammates. The room was decorated with light pink balloons and a sign that read "Welcome Baby Burrow". It warmed your heart knowing everyone was just as excited as you and Joe were about your baby girls arrival. Zac turned to see what all of his guys were gasping and smiling about. His face immediately softened as he saw you and Joe, who was carrying the small bundle of joy in a carseat. "Hey guys, welcome back Joe," Zac smiled. His tone soft was soft as he spoke, careful not to wake Josie. You and Joe walked further into the room, standing next to Zac. You smiled and reached out to give the head coach a brief hug, "Thank you for putting this together Zac." He hugged you back, squeezing you softly as he said, "Of course." Zac pulled away from you and turned to Joe, pulling him in for a brief hug as well.

Joe nodded at Zac as they pulled away from each other. He cleared his throat and looked at all of his teammates, "Hey guys, thanks for coming in today. I've been pretty busy with the new baby, but I promised you about five months ago that you guys would be some of the first people to meet her." Joe glanced at you and flashed you a warm smile to which you returned. "So, with that being said, there's someone Y/n and I want you all to meet." You smiled as you watched Joe carefully take Josie out of her car seat. She grunted and squirmed around a bit at the feeling of being moved, but she soon relaxed when she realized she was in the comfort of her daddy's arms instead. Joe made sure to support her head as he gently held your daughter against his chest. He slowly walked over to his teammates, who all wore smiles of anticipation. "Everyone, this is our daughter, Josie Burrow" Joe proudly announced to his teammates. Ja'Marr stood from his seat and peered over Joe's shoulder. "She's so cute I might cry," he laughed, keeping his voice quiet. "Me too bro, me too," Tee replied. You swore you could see the receiving duos eyes well up with tears as they looked at the tiny baby girl in their quarterbacks arms.

"Trust me," you laughed, "Joe has cried multiple times over how cute she is," you said, putting your hand on Joe's shoulder. "Guilty," he replied with a chuckle, "but look who's talking?" You hummed, smiling sweetly down at your daughter, "you got me there." You stood next to Joe, watching his teammates smile in awe over little Josie. You had never seen so many grown men excited to see a baby before until today. It was such a sweet sight, especially when Sam held Josie. Josie is a small baby in general, but she looked like a preemie sitting in Sam's muscular arms.

"Who wants him next?" Sam asked, looking at his teammates. Tee cleared his throat, "May I?" he looked at you and Joe for approval. You nodded, "Of course! Uncle Tee has to get his Josie snuggles at some point."

Tee grinned at you before carefully taking Josie from Sam. Josie squeaked quietly as she got comfortable in Tee's arms. He looked like a natural as he held her.

"Hey," Ja'Marr spoke, acting as if he was offended, "What about me? Uncle Ja'Marr needs his Josie snuggles too." Ja'Marr asked, clearly joking. Joe chuckled at his best friend, "Don't worry, you get to hold her next."

You chuckled at the guys and turned your attention back to Tee and Josie. "Hi Josie, I'm your uncle Tee," Tee cooed, looking down at the baby in his arms. Josie snuggled further into Tee's arms, instantly getting comfortable, "I remember you when you were just a little thing in your mama's belly." You smiled. It didn't seem that long ago that Josie was just a little peanut growing in your womb.

"Y/n, I gotta say, you and Burrow made one cute baby," Ja'Marr said, peering over Tee's shoulder. "Thanks 'Marr," Joe said with a smile. It was true. You and Joe did make one cute baby girl.

"Well I think she looks just like her daddy," Logan said with a smile as he looked down at Josie. Tee nodded, "Hell yeah she does," he looked down at the baby, and up at you and Joe, "Oops. I didn't mean to curse."

Joe chuckled, "It's fine, she's heard worse," he smirked down at you. Your eyes widened as you lightly smacked his bicep. "Joe!" The guys snickered, clearly amused by what Joe had said. It is true though, Josie has heard worse, but nobody needs to know that. Tee handed Josie off to Ja'Marr, a giddy smile on the mans face as the newborn was placed into his arms. "Oh she's so tiny," he said softly, "Coach, you're next." He said, nodding at Zac. Zac just nodded, a small smile on his face.

"How are you feeling Y/n?" Tee asked, pulling you into a hug. You hugged back him back humming, "Great. It's good to get out of the house and see everyone."

"When's leave over for both of you?" Ja,Marr asked, hesitantly pulling his gaze off of Josie.

"I have a while," you replied, "my boss was very generous with my maternity leave." Tee nodded, turning his attention to Joe. Joe cleared his throat, "I should be back by the championship, but it all depends on how my girls are doing. Family comes first." You smiled and wrapped your arms around Joe's middle. You would never ask Joe to leave the guys during such a big game like the AFC Championship, but you appreciated that he was willing to miss it on order to make sure that you and Josie were OK. Ja'Marr had handed Josie off to Zac, who you swore teared up as soon as she was placed into his waiting arms. Josie snuggled closely against Zac's chest, laying against one of her small arms that was propped against the black material of Zac's shirt. "Hey sweetheart," he cooed, "it's nice to finally meet you. I'm your Uncle Zac. I'm sure your daddy has complained about me a lot while you were in your mommy's tummy," he looked up at Joe with a teasing smile as Joe just rolled his eyes and laughed softly at his words. Zac continued, whispering as he said, "But I promise I'm not as bad as he makes me seem. I'll be your favorite uncle someday, trust me."

You giggled softly, watching with a smile as Zac spoke to your daughter. He was so good with kids, which wasn't surprising since he has a few of his own. Even though he seems cold on the field or at practice, Zac is such a great guy. Zac looked up from Josie to look at all his players, "See guys? I'm already her favorite uncle."

"No, I am," Tee said. Ja'Marr punched his arm, "Ow! What the fu-." he yelped. "You wish it was you," Ja'Marr said, cutting Tee off before he could finish his sentence. Sam cleared his throat, "I hate to break it to you guys...but I think Uncle Sam is her favorite. I got her to smile when she was only a day old."

"Uh, Sam," Joe began, "that was just a reflex from-." Sam held his index finger up, "Shh, shh. Just let me have my moment, dude." Josie started to whimper and squirm in Zac's arms. A few "awes" were heard as Zac started shushing her and telling her that she was alright. However, Josie's soft whimpers soon turned to wails that broke your heart.

"Wow, good job coach. You made baby Burrow cry," Tee said, patting Zac's shoulder. "Higgins, shut up," Zac whispered, looking up at the wide receiver with a pointed look. You couldn't help but chuckle at their exchange. Oh how you've missed seeing these guys.

"Here sweetie, I'll give you to mommy," Zac said as he handed Josie over to you. The infant was still crying and showing no sign of stopping until you or Joe solved whatever was ailing her. "You know, she hasn't fussed at all until now since we've been here," said Joe as he pulled a bottle out from the diaper bag, "I think she likes it here."

"He's just happy because we're here," Ja'Marr cheekily grinned. "Yeah," Tee nodded in agreement, "we're her favorite uncles. Which means, Josie girl doesn't have to worry while she's with us. We got her."

"Thank you guys," you smiled, thankful for all the love Joe, Josie, and you have received from all of the guys since you announce that Baby Burrow was on the way. "She doesn't have a lot of biological uncles," you glanced down at Josie, a soft smile on your face as you spoke, "but she's got a whole bunch right here."

Joe quickly came back from warming up Josie's bottle. He walked back into the room and held the bottle out for you to grab. You walked closer to him, taking the bottle from his hand as he carefully took Josie out of your arms. He brought the nipple of the bottle down to his baby girls mouth. Josie latched on and immediately started suckling away, happy to have some warm milk in her belly. You and Joe both looked down at your baby girl with happy smiles on your faces. You heard a sniffle, which caused you and Joe to luck up. You saw Zac wipe at his eyes. "Coach?" Joe asked, furrowing his eyebrows. "Are you OK?" You asked, concern evident in your voice.

Zac nodded, laughing slightly, "Yeah, yeah I'm good. I'm just," he took a deep breath, releasing it before he said, "I'm really proud of you, Joe. I'm proud of you both. You have a beautiful little family," he whispered the last part, a genuine smile on his face. You and Joe had never seen Zac get emotional like this before. You looked up at Joe, frowning slightly as you saw tears well up in blue his eyes. Joe handed Josie off to you and walked over to Zac, the two embraced each other. Mumbled whispers could be heard as the two shared an emotional hug. It meant a lot to Joe that his head coach was proud of him for something that wasn't football related. Joe looked up to Zac in many ways, fatherhood being one of them. Soon, all of the guys joined in, hugging as a team. The Bengals bond is such a wonderful thing that you are so honored to be apart of. Now, your baby girl gets to be a part of that, too.

"Y/n, join in," Tee smiled, gesturing for you to join, "I would, but I got a baby to feed," you chuckled, nodding down to the infant in your arms. "You and Josie are a part of this family too, come on," Logan said, ushering you over. You looked down at Josie and smiled, she looked back up at you with her big, beautiful blue eyes as she ate. "You heard him peanut, let's go." you spoke softly to your daughter. You walked over, securely holding Josie against your chest as you were brought into the group embrace. You felt a squeeze on your back, so you squeezed back. You all pulled away, going back to where you were standing before. Joe and Zac pulled away last, wiping their eyes. Zac clapped Joe' shoulder and nodded. Joe walked back over to you and Josie. You offered him a warm smile, to which he returned.

"Hey Y/n, can I take her?" Sam asked, softly. You nodded, handing her off to Sam. Sam held Josie in one arm, using the other to hold the bottle she was halfway done with. "Thanks," he smiled, before cooing down at the baby.

You nodded, turning to Joe and pulling him into a tight hug. "You OK?" You felt him nod against you, "Yeah, I'm great. Just really happy." You smiled softly, "I love you Joey." He hummed, "I love you too."

You squeezed him gently before letting go and placing a kiss on his cheek. Sam had finished feeding Josie, despite all the complaints from the other guys. There were about five others who wanted to feed Josie, but Sam kept her all to himself. After talking with everyone and passing Josie around one final time for about another half hour, you and Joe decided it was time for you to leave. Josie would be due for another feeding, and you had left her other bottle at home, so you didn't really have a choice to stay longer. You hugged the guys and said your goodbyes as Joe strapped Josie into her carseat. Joe then took his turn to say his goodbyes. As you walked out of the stadium, you and Joe had one arm wrapped around each other's back while you held Josie's car seat in your other hand.

"I think it's safe to say Josie loves her uncles," you smiled. Joe chuckled in amusement, "And I think it's safe to say Josie's uncles love her too."

With that, the three of you walked to the car, ready to head home after a much needed day with the Bengals, or as they like to call themselves, Josie's favorite uncles.

8. Hi, you seem like you know things and I have exhausted myself trying to find this fic.

It’s about Wei Ying, his siblings and the Wen siblings living in a house together, modern era, while he renovates it little by little. He is actually a tattoo artist but isn’t working atm. Then Lan Zhan moves in and stays in Yanli’s room with her so he assumes that he is Yanli’s bf but never opens his mouth to ask. Lan Zhan and Yanli are actually best friends and while Wei Ying and Lan Zhan instantly click he tries to push Lan Zhan away because he thinks he is dating his sister. I vividly remember this fic but no matter what tag combos I try, I can’t find it. If you can find it you’d be my heroes :) Lan Zhan also wears skirts here which is always a bonus.

11. I can’t find this fic and it’s driving me crazy! It was a modern college au, and lwj brought wwx back to his family ranch for break. The premise was that wwx stole lwjs hat to wear, and everyone was giving them looks because there’s a saying like ‘wear the hat, ride the cowboy.’ There’s a scene where lwj literally grabs a bull by the horns and wrestles it to protect wwx. In the end lwj tells wwx about the saying and they fuck. I think this fic might be hidden/deleted but I can’t be sure? Even a link for the way back machine would be amazing. Thank you!! (I know exactly which fic this is but I cannot find it either :( I hope it wasn't deleted - Mod C) @adeametea

FOUND? 11 on recent FicFinder might be Local Cowboy Goes To Town (On A Poor Defenseless Twink) by Pancho. Unfortunately, Pancho's works are currently hidden due to AI scrapping

14. I'm looking for a fic, but the main problem is I'm not sure if it was on AO3, Tumblr or Twitter (and if it was Twitter, I think I read it as an unrolled thread). LWJ visits WWX in Lotus Pier and at one point gets accidentally whipped by YZY when she was aiming for WWX. He demands WWX's hand in marriage as reparation and I think LXC was a little exasperated but didn't contest it.

Thank you in advance, and no worries if you can't find it! (I feel like I read something like this recently but which of them was it is the problem TvT ~Mod L)

15. I’m looking for a Cloud Recesses fic where Wei Wuxian wants to signal that he and Lan Wangji are courting so he grinds ink for him before class.

FOUND! 💖 Magical Marriage Ribbons Series by starandrea (Varies, 1m, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Accidental Marriage, Fluff, Happy Ending, Telepathic bond, Kink Negotiation, Family Drama, Magical Pregnancy, Dual Cultivation, Shapeshifters, Modern with Magic, Immortality, Yilling Wei Sect, podfic) I think #15 is one of the early worlds in the magical marriage ribbons series by starandrea. I'm not sure which, but I think there's a 30(?) Days of secret courting in cloud recess in it

~*~

16. hi! for the fic finder: i remember only one scene from a fic where at a cultivation conference both lan xichen and nie mingjue kiss jiang yanli on the cheek. i think it was either to make jin zixuan aware of jyl or otherwise a result of someone's political scheming? i dont remember whose idea it was but it wasn't lxc or nmj's. im positive this fic is in my bookmarks somewhere but i dont remember enough to find it lmao

FOUND? Lynchpin by ShanaStoryteller (Not Rated, 103k, WangXian, JC & WWX, Time Travel, Fix-It, Lynchpin [PODFIC] by Opalsong, [PODFIC] Lynchpin by Gwogobo) nhs convinces nmh and lwj to kiss jyl on the cheek at the phoenix mountain hunt to make jzx jealous

~*~

17. This is a hyper specific ask because the only things I remember about this fic is wangxian are in university and wwx is an art major or in some art class where he shares this big space with a bunch of classmates that's divided up with tape. At some point he gets into a fight with another classmate cause he stuff spills over and lwj helps him. I think it might have been lwj's pov?

FOUND! could it be "show me a quiver, give me tonight" or its part 2 "crossed the world with these empty hands" by spookykingdomstarlight

~*~

18. I’m looking for a fic where Lan Wangji first meets Wei Wuxian as his doctor, with Jiang Cheng storming out of his room shouting that Lan Wangji should just kill him because obviously WWX didn’t value his own life. (WWX had pushed JC out of the way of a car.) LW is darkly amused by it. He’s mildly obsessed with the pearl drop WWX wears? Runs into him in the meat department later, & eventually moves WWX in. Loves having him in their apartment, providing for him. Possibly too much @any-mouse

FOUND! singularity by azuresummer (E, 7k, WangXian, Modern AU, Dom/sub Undertones, Dominant LWJ, Submissive WWX, Serial Killers, Dark LWJ, Possessive LWJ, Protective LWJ, Serial Killer LWJ, Doctor LWJ, Stalking, Manipulation, Obsession, Mentions of Murder) I think 18 is singularity!

[crypticjackal13]

Hi can I request a parents sun Macaque and PIGSY and dbk sandy x adopted Demon daughter reader

Like the reader is a demon like them but even tho they are not by blood but was raised by them as one and during the fight with Lbd they end up possessed and have to fight their father while the LBD taunts them saying looks like you're going to give up on them I guess you never really cared for them so they're not by Blood. And you abound them for the other's

When it in fact not true at all they love there kid blood or not and try to save them and get them from underneath the control of ladybone demon

Ok so I vaguely understand what you're saying, however I need some fluff to cancel out the angst I posted earlier so here's just some hc's about them as dads

SWK, Macaque, Pigsy, Sandy, and DBK x Adopted!Demon!Daughter Reader Headcanons!(fluffy, platonic!)

SWK

The other monkeys on FFM probably found you first. And, curious about what you were, they brought you to their king! The rest is history, he probably took you in right away

He’s very chill in terms of keeping you out of trouble. He’s protective, sure, but he encourages you to explore and put yourself out there as long as it’s not super harmful

I think he loves engaging and messing around with you. Helps you hone your powers and what not all while having fun or playing games to make it a positive learning experience

If you’re ever feeling bad about not being related to him by blood, he is very good at comforting you.

He reassures you that no matter where you come from, he’s happy he gets to raise you and watch you grow up, and he is proud to call you his child.

If anyone makes comments about it while you two are in public you might have to hold him back because he WILL fight them

His favorite thing is dad jokes

Macaque

Was most likely scouting stuff in the city when he found you. He felt terrible that someone would abandon a baby so he took it upon himself to raise you, even if he’s a little underprepared

Super protective. He’s constantly worried something will happen to you but there are rare occasions where he’s calm

Spends a lot of time reaching out to his fellow demons about figuring out how best to take care of you. He knows you’re not a monkey like him so that logic is out the window mostly.

If anything ever happens that may be dangerous, he will stop everything, ask if you’re alright, and then go get rid of the danger. After that it’s time for first aid and a warm meal.

Knows how it feels to be different from your family(he was probably one of the only demon monkeys on FFM) and reassures you very often that he’s your dad and loves you as such.

His favorite thing to do with you is read or tell stories. Often he starts them off by saying “you won’t see this one in the history books!” And it makes you laugh almost every time

Other demons he knows will know about you and so he basically has a backup team in case anything happens to him. Very paranoid about all that

Pigsy

Idk how he would come across you, but I could definitely see him legit adopting a kid. MK is surprised but excited to have a kind of sibling!!

He’s got the dad business down to a science. I think he goes with his gut on almost everything and it works out in the end.

You’re probably brought up the most normally out of the whole lineup of these characters. He gets you in school, you’ve got your own room in his house, and you help out in the shop.

He takes every situation as it comes. A little strict, but overall he just wants you to be happy, healthy, and safe.

He has you taste test new recipes when he cooks and he also loves when you help him cook in general

The one thing he’s not entirely sure of is how to comfort you if you have doubts or bad feelings about not “really” being related to him.

All he can really do is affirm that hey, he raised you and he loves you more than anything—more than noodles!—and that he’s there for you whenever you need him.

Sandy

Would definitely adopt a kid through the system. But if he found a baby on the street he’d probably go that route too!

He def reads up on parenting books for the basics, and then has to improvise the rest since demon kids are built a little differently from human kids

Gentle parenting at its finest. Has a small set of easy rules and deals with each thing accordingly—no yelling from him at all though!

You’re taught how to be gentle and take care of other living things by growing up around his therapy cats! And they love you anyways because, well, they’re cats

He takes you on a fun adventure or outing whenever he gets the chance. He wants you to see and experience the world, not be cooped up in one place.

Because he’s so good at helping others with their emotions, he walks you through and comforts you when you’re feeling inadequate in terms of blood relations.

Cheers you up, gets you some of your favorite tea, and assures you that he loves you and cares about you.

DBK

By far the most knowledgeable about raising demon babies. He himself is hesitant at first but Princess Iron Fan convinces him to take you in.

They’re prepared for all your powers and what not, so honestly it’s smooth sailing for them

DBK is a little harsh sometimes but he is doing his best to be there for you!

He thinks that because you’re part of this family, you deserve to be treated like they are; royalty! You get pretty much anything you ask for :0

I think he would carry Redson and you around a lot. No idea why but maybe it’s a comfort thing. It’s just this towering Bull figure, very menacing, but on his shoulders are his over dramatic son and adoptive daughter

(He goes about his business but the fun part is you and Redson just having conversations over him. And he chimes in too sometimes. I can’t get this pic out of my head it’s so cute and funny)

Anyways he’s better at reassurance through action rather than through words. He can tell when you’re down, whether it’s because you feel different or if you’re just having a bad day. So he brings you your favorite meal and a warm blanket, lets you know he’ll be in the kitchen, and gives you your space.

Midsummers- JJ Maybank

requested: Yes. Hey babe! I have a request for jj x kook!reader <3. Just like she's not a kook turned pogue like sarah, she's everything a kook is (except she's not an asshole lol) and yet her and jj are dating and no one understands how since they're total opposites, but they just love eachother so much and it works. Maybe if you want write some angst into it if you want, since what i gave you is just a scenario an not really a plot. But always a fluff ending! :) <3

a/n: I enjoyed writing this so much. The italicized words are the reader thinking back to a year ago. GIF not mine- creds to owner. Lots of fluff. No warnings beyond what is shown in the show.

word count: 1.2K

It had started out as a way to defy your parents. You had never expected to actually like the blonde-haired, surfer, kleptomaniac that was JJ Maybank. He was undeniably attractive- those washboard abs, strong arms from the years of random odd jobs, and eyes so blue you could practically drown in them. Being physically attracted to JJ was a no brainer, but coming to adore the rough around the edges pogue took you by surprise. Once you broke through the tough guy persona he embodied ninety-five percent of the time you found out he was incredibly loyal to a fault and emotional even. You would like to say it was his soft side that won you over, but truth be told you liked that JJ was reckless. You were pretty sure that the moment you fell in love with JJ, was when he knocked the shit out of Topper at Midsummer’s a year ago. 

You had on the new white dress your mother had bought you for the occasion when there was a knock at the door. “I’ll get it!” you called out through the house. Upon opening the front door you were met with those deep blue eyes. “JJ”

“Wow. You look- hot.” He breathed out taking in your appearance. 

“You have a way with words JJ Maybank.” You said tilting your head at him and giving him a look. 

The moment was broken up by your mother coming to the door to see who had come by. “Ah, JJ, you made it.” She said in what was her best attempt at not sounding disappointed. 

“I wouldn’t have missed this for the world ma’am.” JJ replies not missing a beat causing a small laugh to escape your lips. 

You all had rode over to the venue in your parents' car. Your mother continuously nagging you on the way over- ‘adjust your flower crown,’ ‘don’t forget to talk to the Thornton’s,’ ‘did you even put any makeup on?’ ‘Speak to the Carrera girl- it will make us look more charitable.’

Seeing JJ’s growing frustration with your family and your mothers blunt comment about his friend you grabbed his hand and gave a few squeezes. You knew he hated the idea of coming to Midsummer’s, but after a week of begging he had given in and allowed you to buy him a suit. He took a few deep breaths and squeezed your hand back letting you know he was okay. 

He was much better when you finally arrived. His friend, Heyward’s son, was there helping his dad cater and he disappeared to go speak to him. JJ promised he would come find you shortly, so you decided to make your rounds by speaking to all the families present. Your mother played a large role in planning Midsummer’s so you were expected to also play host. 

You had spoken to Kelce’s parents, the Thornton’s, Smith’s, and were making your way over to Ward and Rose Cameron when Topper stopped you in your path. 

—----------------------------------------------------------

“I see you’ve gone full kook on us.” Pope mocked JJ. 

JJ laughed and shook his head, “Just enjoying a little bubble wrap.”

“You look miserable in that suit. J, why are you still with this girl? You hate these events- we all do. When you started seeing her we all assumed it was just for a hook-up. Me and JB gave it 3 weeks before you’d decide to let her go. You’re at Midsummer’s bro- this is the lion's den, and you’re mixed up in the middle of it.”

“She’s different Pope. I mean yeah- she’s a kook and I mean full kook. She has a coffee order that takes 5 minutes just to order, she is constantly trying to get me to dress better, she can never get ready in less than an hour, and I pity the waiter that has to tend to her needs because there’s never a meal that doesn’t need adjusting. She also somehow isn’t ashamed of me though, she makes me calm, and she makes me want to be better.”

“JJ, are you in love?” Pope mocks him.

JJ gives Pope a shove- “I like her.”

“No- you are embarrassingly in love with her. You are sweating your ass off in a suit at Midsummer’s talking about your feelings- i’m pretty sure that counts as love.”

“JJ? What the hell are you doing here?” Kiara calls to the boys as she approaches in a purple silk dress. 

“Nice costume.” JJ remarks back.

“I could say the same to you.” She says with a smirk.

“He’s still seeing the kook from the beach that day.” Pope informs Kie

Kie gives JJ an incredulous look- “seriously?”

“I get why you guys don’t understand it, but we work alright.” JJ gives the two pogues a serious look and begins to walk off to find you.

—--------------------------------------------------------

“Nice dress.” Topper says looking you up and down. 

You roll your eyes, “Thanks Top. You looking for Rafe? I heard he’s giving out bumps in the men's locker room.” You smirk.

He takes a step towards you so that you’re standing close enough for him to whisper to you, so no one else hears, “It would be best for you to keep that information to yourself. You wouldn’t want me to go around informing everyone you’re sleeping with trash.”

You scoff, “You are such an asshole. You can tell whoever you want about me and JJ. If you’re still jealous though, just say that.” You give the boy a challenging look.

He grabs your arm aggressively, “You are a slut and that’s all you’ll ever be.”

“Stop it Topper. Get your hands off of me.” You say trying to pry your arm from his grip. You look around for help, but of course no one is paying attention. Why would they be? Two of Figure Eight’s brightest and best just having a close conversation- everyone on this side of the island were always trying to push you two together. 

“Hey Power Puff Girl- she said to get off of her.” JJ said coming out of nowhere and swinging his fist towards Topper's face. 

That was the end of it because as soon as JJ’s fist connected with Topper’s face- he was on the ground. Security quickly rushed over to escort JJ out and no matter how much you protested they just kept pushing him towards the exit. Your parent’s insisted on you staying or you would have kept on walking out with JJ. He gave you a final wink and smirk on his way out and that was the moment he stole your heart. You told him you’d call him later and the rest was history. 

“What are you thinking about over there?” JJ asks as he approaches you on the hammock at the Chateau. 

“Just the time you knocked Topper on his ass in front of all of Figure Eight.” You said with a smile. “I am pretty sure it’s the moment I fell in love with you.”

He gives you a soft smile and joins you on the hammock pulling you into him and whispers into your ear, “I love you.”

Hey! So I went to check your bookmarks and alas you have none, but what are the chances you would still have Jason Todd fic/author recommendations? Assuming I've read none. Or just any favorite Batman fics?

I'm getting a little overwhelmed with all the different fandom tags and timelines 😅

🤍

So, as someone who is also relatively new-ish to the Batman fandom but binged A LOT of content early on, my best advice is going to be to find your own vibe.

I've been on tumblr since 2012 and wandered through a ton of fandoms- and yet? Batman has bowled me over with it's sheer....in fighting? (This is obviously not like. Voltron-level stuff. Do yall remember tumblr when Voltron was raging?) People are SO SURE their thing is The Correct Thing. Despite the fact that there are a near endless amount of canon permutations. SO MUCH ship discourse, babe.

So, of course, I have many recs, mostly from ships people get mad about.

A good Jason character intro: Give Thanks to Broken Bones by thepartyresponsible. a VERY GOOD Jason, but one the other hand, technically an Avengers fic. Highly readable, maybe doesn't 100% land the ending, but an extremely good mix of the two worlds.

My favorite Bruce Wayne: Masking by BombusBombus. As much a loving meditation on neurodivergence as it is a a love story, Superbat at their most husbands. (teen baby Jason running around, being lied to by Bruce about why his dad is just. staring at pictures of Superman's hands.)

Smut: make me (say your name) by Naheka. Dick/Jason, character study wrapped around smut that is just. SO in character. Not wildly explicit, but earning the rating.

Fluff (not vigilantes au): no ordinary by SPQR. Dick/Jason. They're teenagers at boarding school and it so SO perfectly captures that hazy late teen longing AND Jason's bone deep direness about all kinds of love. I'd read 8x more words of this.

Further fluff: a blue curtain is a damn blue curtain by heartslogos. I have no idea if Jason canonically knows the language of flowers, but it pops up a surprising amount? And frankly, feels right. Short, sweet, disaster vibes. Heartslogos has literal hundreds of fics, I haven't shifted through them all, but it seems like a good mix of gen and romance.

Bats being messy as all hell: Strings Attached by FabulaRasa. I love love love what a (justified) bitch Jason is in this one. Primarily a Bruce Wayne/Hal Jordan story, but the background Jason/Dick absolutely got me. Everyone's an adult and everyones being characteristically fucked up. Trigger warning for some messy internalized homophobia stuff being worked through. A lot of stuff about Bruce and Jason just...loving and hating each other.

Casefic that works as a romance with fun Adult elements: do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby by sister. A rare gem in terms of everyone found familying about while not acting like that's a restrictive container. Jason/Tim. Plot important booty shorts. Easily the most realistic/best Stephanie Brown I've come across. Obsessed with the little snaps of Jason's vulnerability we get in this one.

I'm definitely forgetting or leaving out some fun ones, but this is a start! Happy reading :)

[useless-moss]

My brain is a shipping mess rn.

Like. Words can not even properly articulate the dilemma I am in regarding my story and the relationships within it.

Just.

Vigcup and dagcup are so cute. They're both literally enemies to friends to lovers and they hold so much fuel for angst and hurt/comfort and fluffy cuddles by a fireplace and the trust that is built up and I-

I just-

And Viggo and Dagur fighting to win Hiccups affection is such a top tier idea and I'm surprised nobody has written about it before. Viggo giving Hiccup flowers, handmade gifts, poetry he's written for him. Dagur trying to combat all that and not really knowing how. Angst and self doubt and comfort and whatnot follows.

Then again hicstrid is amazing. They're so wholesome and, yeah, it's kinda basic, but it's still so cute. They care for each other so much and it's adorable. And their dragons are best friends which makes it even cuter.

But Heather is also so freaking gay for Astrid that it's not even funny and they would be so cute together. Friends to lovers. Warrior women who would kill and die for each other. They're such an amazing team in the show and I just.

I think about all this and think I have it figured out and then my brain just. It's just like "hey, what about Dagur being a disaster bi for both Viggo and Hiccup?" and I'm suddenly sent reeling again. Especially with with found family aspect that literally has Viggo helping Dagur raise his adopted son and being deemed the kids 'second dad'.

This has already been decided BTW. Its set in stone. Dagur and Viggo are raising a child together in my story and Ryker helps out and is that kinda aloof uncle figure.

They take turns keeping an eye on this bundle of chaos and unfathomable energy. Have to sleep in small cuddle piles because this child refuses to sleep at all if he can't use at least one of his dads as a pillow. Viggo and Dagur get to see softer sides of each other that completely contradict their usual reputations.

Then Krogan comes along and becomes another father/the mother figure of this family and my brain just.

Implodes.

Kroggo. Angst. Hurt/comfort. Fluff. Trauma buddies.

And it's all just a love pentagram at this point and I haven't even thought about the other riders or any other relationships because my brain just. Latches. Locks its jaws on a collection of ideas and shakes it all around like a rabid animal.

Please help I need outside opinions on all of this

[palaceofpassion]

Ok here’s some good fashioned fluff

Jaune taking weiss on a date in his hometown showing weiss all that the town has to offer what’s weiss feeling in that regard

Weiss was perplexed by the scenery around her. Though it had already been a day since their friends had arrived to Jaune's quaint home town. This had been the first time that she'd gotten to explore it, after the nightmare of running away from Salem's forces had left them all fatigued and tired they had wanted nothing more than to fall asleep.

Thankfully his family had let them do just that, even if she could tell they were curious, Jaune himself had been questioned all night. So, she was pleasantly surprised, and slightly worried, to find the young man up and about before the rest of them. Perhaps his morning trainings were still ingrained into his mind, even if he did promise to cool off with those.

With that noted, she was happy to see him, and even happier when he asked if she'd wanted to go around and explore with him. The others were still asleep, and he'd promised to make it a date. Something she noticed his mother had instantly queued in on. A faint blush had crossed her cheeks, though she accepted nonetheless. Thankfully his mother simply smiled and wished them well, letting them know they're free to eat breakfast out there if they want.

So that's how her morning started, an half an hour later, and she still couldn't get over how... different it was. His home was a far off edge town, it was unlike Atlas, unlike Haven, and unlike Vale. It was quiet, the only sounds were the soft whispers of people, each keeping their voices down while the morning dew was still on the ground. She noted they would get a side eye every now and then, but it was always followed by a smile and a wave.

She wasn't used to being this far out there, or this far into a small town... it was, "This is nice, it's peaceful here, almost like all the problems we've gone through don't really matter."

"Mmhmm. It's way out of the way, so- things get lost, ya know?"

She nodded, it would explain why he never knew who Pyrrha was when they first met. She sighed, feeling the weight of the world slowly begin to pile back onto her shoulders, only stopping when she felt something clench against her hand.

Her gaze shifted to the side, finding his fingers interlocked with hers, "Thanks."

"For?" She was perplexed by his statement.

"For being you."

And now she was blushing again, "Why couldn't you have been this way when we first met."

"I uhm... I've had a lot of growth? And my dad's advice wasn't exactly the best so..."

She rolled her eyes, Jaune truly was his best self, when he was just being himself. "Yes well, thank you, for also being you."

Before she knew it, the two of them had wandered off to a lakeside, hidden beneath the shade of several trees, with no one around. When they came to a sudden stop, before the blue tranquil waters, she found her heart beating as he turned to face her.

"I love you Weiss."

She smiled, still feeling the pang in her chest, "I love you too Jaune."

And, just like their first time, and the time after that. The kiss that followed, as he lowered down to her level, and her upon her tippytoes, was just as electrifying.

She couldn't help but wonder, if perhaps staying here wasn't for the best.

My Weekly Roundup CW 29

This week was full of drama, people disappearing from other people's lives, evil antagonists, good acting and a lot of good communication. I loved so much about this weeks episodes and before I'll start, let me tell you "Team Roommates for the win!".

And yes, this will contain spoilers!

→ 1. Be My Favorite (Ep 9)

Okay, so not quite as much fluff as I had hoped for, but it was enough for me in the end. I thought the conversations were very well done again and a drunken pisaeng is just ADORABLE!

Kawi is on his way to finally understand that he can't save every future. He needs to have faith in people to go their own way. It is not in his hands that other people won't make mistakes and have no regrets. He will continue to make mistakes himself, but he can try to be the best version of himself to be there for the people he cares about. He won't protect them from getting hurt though, but he can be there for them, catching them before they fall so they can go off and make other mistakes. But it's not up to him to make the decisions about what makes a person happy and what doesn't. And I love that he has Pisaeng as a partner by his side, that he also clearly told him he wants to be able to see them both as equals so that Pisaeng's money doesn't create a power imbalance and I love it so much! I love their communication so much 😭 I hope Paer can work things out with her mom and maybe talk to her dad. Kwan and Paer both desperately need to realize their own worth and just keep their hands off Not. He should end up reap the fruits of being an asshole in the end. Please let an asshole character just be an asshole for once.

☼ 2. Wedding Plan (Ep 1)

I vibe this series so much! Oh my god! I saw the trailer and knew this series was going to captivate me. I'm into this forbidden love. Nuea is my spirtit animal! I find his love for food and dislike for gyms very relatable. I knew it wasn't going to be a classic cheating story, but am still a bit confused by how active Yiwa is in helping Lom flirt with Nuea. I'm definitely curious to see what exactly is behind the two of them and their marriage, and if a wedding between Nuea and Lom will happen in the end. That the visuals will be good in a Mame series is kind of a law, so I'm not surprised by the cast, but this birthmark on Lom's nose has a certain effect on me that I didn't know was possible. I mean look at him!

Normally I'm always a little restrained in the first episode of series, but here I'm just on fire and I apparently have to make that known, otherwise it eats me up inside 😅 I find it funny to see how he majority on here went off on PrapaiSky's wedding, and every little piece of them and PayuRain was giffed and I couldn't care less. But I am very happy to see a gay wedding! So yeah, I can't wait for the next episode! But the subtitles really are something else on iQiyi!

But you would definitely be famous for having a crush on a broom!

↑ 3. Stay With Me (Ep 9-12)

Oh man, so much has happened. First Su Yu and Wu Bi move in together, because Su Yu's dad got married and now has a new family, so to speak, in which Su Yu doesn't want to force himself in. And he wishes so much it was different, but after the mother has found a new family and the father has now also remarried, it has once again become clear to him that he also wants someone whose love is just for him and that he doesn't have to share with anyone 😭 And Wu Bi sits there and just looks at him with these puppy dog eyes and holds him by the arm - there is this person, you just have to finally admit it to yourself too. Yes, and then we see moments where Su Yu uses Wu Bi's butt as a pillow and they're bickering together and their apartment is so wonderfully colorful and lovingly decorated and welcoming and just beautiful and I'm floating through all the seventh clouds...

... and then along comes the evil ex who isn't actually an ex but acts like she is and tries to get in between Wu Bi and Su Yu and apparently she's somewhat successful at it and my gosh, what a pain in the ass that person is! I can't stand her. Great actress but such a crappy character. I hope Su Yu sees through her lies and obvious attempt to drive a wedge between them. Let her just run off with the cousin again and never come back! Surely she should realize that Su Yu doesn't like her anymore and that he is indeed Wu Bi's.

This is frustrating. I want to have Friday and be able to continue watching 😅

↓ 4. Tokyo In April Is... (Ep 6)

For a short moment I really thought that Ren was lying unconscious or knocked out by some drug in Sanada's bed at the end. I got hot and cold for a moment. Fortunately he wasn't. My heart would not have survived that after the episode. So Ren has disappeared again and Kazuma sits alone in the cold and dark apartment, thinking about all the beautiful memories he had made with Ren during the past weeks.

The only thing missing was that he would have grabbed one of Ren's t-shirts and curled up on the bed sniffing it. Then I would have done the same with a box of tissues here. Not that I didn't know that would happen, but still, it hurts. And then to watch Ren break down while Kazuma was waiting for him at home... The series keeps on hurting really good!

↑ 5. Hidden Agenda (EP 3)

Okay, I admit it, I'm starting to get hooked on the series. I love Joke. And I love that he could go on dates with Zo without having to reveal himself. Slowly, though, he's realizing that he might have a chance after all and is really putting himself out there now. Sometimes I'm a very simple girl: give me nice music, a library, intense eye contact, and a pinky that finds the courage to make first contact and you'll find me melting on the floor, squealing blissfully.

The fact that Zo is also starting to realize that he should get to know another person first, and most importantly get to know yourself in order to know if you like a person, I think is so sweet. And the heart racing he definitely has... with Joke... This is a happy-go-lucky series right now.

↓ 6. Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2 (Ep 3)

Minato and Shin now live together, but of course they don't share a room, which is a bit frustrating for Shin. Minato, however, is starting to come out of his shell a bit. So he asks Shin if they want to go to the festival together and let him dress him. And this boy is whipped!

On the beach, he takes Shin's hand, only to pull back in fright when other people come running to the beach. There are two generations that collide in Shin and Minato. Shin is proud of his love and wants to show that they both belong together. He is not afraid of the world because he has not experienced any negative experience because of his sexuality yet. He experiences the world from a not-so-conservative lens, especially since his parents have agreed to let him live with Minato until the apartment is renovated. Minato has grown up in a more conservative world and has always hidden away until now. He is slowly letting himself be carried away by Shin, but it takes time. Such a learned behavior, and especially mindset, can't be changed overnight. And I find the process very exciting right now. It's nice to watch the two of them take care of each other and grow together.

☼ 7. Jun & Jun (Ep 1)

Childhood friends who lost touch and now find their way back to each other paired with office romance? Bring it on! It was really hard for me to watch at the beginning. My threshold for embarrassment is very low and all the action until they arrived at the office caused me some pain. I hope from the next episode it will be a little more pleasant. The first impression is still positive. I'm curious to see how the story develops, why they lost track of each other and if it will end up being a feel-good story like Our Dating Sim. One can still hope. What I can say is that the visuals are definitely appealing.

↓ 8. Low Frequency (Ep 3)

So something happened. The acting wasn't as bad as it had been one episode before. We learned that ghosts can do things if Mon lets them, at least Thames. And they can touch each other now, which led to a very strange and totally out of context scene where they touch hands, illuminated by sunlight, and it almost comes to a kiss. So yes, the setting was nice, but the scene itself was a bit oddly placed. What else happened? Thames remembers something more to the accident and is jealous. There are a few who come up as potential suspects and other than that, very little else happened for an astonishing 40 minutes. Or I just forgot all about it already....

→ 9. Dinosaur Love (Ep 5)

What do they all think is so great about cotton-candy-ball? He's a snoozer who looks like his mind is on a trip abroad and no one knows when it's coming back. And Dino... I mean, there are really intense series with jealous and toxic characters, but he's really the crowning glory of them all. The worst thing is that he reminds me of one of my exes. I think he was jealous of my bedspread itself... And that's how Dino acts... It's no excuse for obsessively possessive behavior that you like the person. The way I screamed at my screen how much I hate this! And what are these scenes? I don't have to spend five minutes watching Dino play a mobile game and talk to his buddies while cotton-candy-ball sits next to him grinning stupidly. Never thought the biggest enemy in this series was the fact that Dino is the SOTUS president and SOTUS members aren't allowed to date freshmen or be friends with them! Will they still get together? I guess we'll see next week or sometime in August... It's getting tiring, but maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it today. Maybe the title is that way because it's outdated stereotypes that act as the main roles here?

Reindeer Games: A Hunt Family Christmas

[All Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer Masterlists] [Baby Hunt]

Pairing: Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer (F!OC) Other Characters: Felicity (F!OC), Vincent (M!OC), Bogart (dog) Book: Red Carpet Diaries Word Count: <600 Rating: General: no warnings/Family Fluff Prompts: @choicesdecember2022 heart, @choicesholidays "I’m so glad we found each other", @choicesflashfics "Everything is temporary. This was merely one of those things"

A/N #1: Art in header by @/artbyainna (IG). See the full image here. A/N #2: This is a rewrite of a fic from a few years ago. Original here.

Synopsis: The Hunt family has some holiday fun.

“You look lovely, sweetheart.” Thomas smiled, admiring his daughter's new holiday dress. 

“Thank you,” Felicity giggled, shifting her body side-to-side as the red plaid skirt fluttered around her. “You look like—" She pressed her little hands to her lips, trying to contain her laughter. Felicity turned toward her mom, standing in the doorway, who nodded her encouragement. "You look like you got ran over by a reindeer, Daddy!”

“What?” Thomas barely got the word out before his son came barreling into the room wearing his new reindeer onesie pajamas. 

Vincent charged toward his father, the bells on his antlers jingling loudly, ensuring a surprise attack would be impossible. He ran at his dad, who pretended to tumble over when his son collided with him. 

“Got you!” Vincent hopped on Thomas. “Look, Daddy! I’m a reindeer.” The little boy excitedly wiggled his antlers at his father.  

“I see that.” Thomas smiled, his fingers grazing over his son's antlers, ringing the little bells. “I better call Santa and tell him I caught an escaped reindeer.” 

Vincent roared with laughter as his father tickled his sides.

“Did I do good, mommy?” Felicity ran to Alex, jumping into her arms. “Daddy was so surprised!” 

“You did perfectly, my sweet girl!” Alex brushed her nose against her daughter's tenderly before pressing a kiss on Felicity's forehead. 

"Santa!" Vincent pointed at the black lab in a red hat bounding around them. 

Bogart barked as he circled Thomas and Vincent. His tail beat rapidly in the air, wanting to join in on the Christmas fun. 

Felicity giggled again as Bogart squirmed his way in, licking her dad's face. “I want to play with daddy, too!” She exclaimed, wiggling in her mom's arms. 

“That's an excellent idea. Let’s both go!” Alex offered, putting her daughter down. Felicity had lived up to her name, she was pure happiness, and that was exactly what she and her brother brought to their lives every day.

“Yay!!!” Felicity ran to her dad, her arms waving excitedly beside her. "I play too!" She wrapped herself around her dad's neck, hugging him tight as she pressed sloppy kisses on his cheek while Thomas held her brother in his arms. 

Alex settled on the floor beside her family, watching the utter bliss unfolding. A warmth grew in her chest as her heart overflowed with joy at the sounds of laughter and cheer filling the room. A peaceful smile spread across her face. This is all she needed for Christmas—her family, happy and healthy.

Bogart plopped down next to her, licking her cheek before turning his attention to his twins as Alex's fingers slid softly through his silky fur. 

Alex caught Thomas’s attention for a moment, and in his eyes, she saw everything she was feeling—overwhelming joy and absolute peace. She wished she could capture the moment, to save it forever. But, that was the thing about moments, they're just that. A moment. Everything is temporary. This was merely one of those things. This moment would end. The laughter would fade, the merriment would dim, and the bustle of life would once more return, but the memories they made today and everyday, the impression those moments made, those would last a lifetime.

He extended his arm toward her, inviting her to join them.

We did good, she mouthed as he drew her in.

The best, he agreed, kissing her temple before the pair were overwhelmed by two toddlers and a black lab. Three pieces of their heart that reminded them of how lucky they were to have found one another.

Thank you for reading! I truly appreciate any support I get for this paring. I know they're not the most popular, but they are to me. This family has my whole heart and I truly enjoy sharing them with anyone who gives them a chance.

This is a rewrite/extension of an earlier drabble. I don't write chronologically, so when I first wrote the twins, I hadn't yet written Bogart. There are many Baby Hunt fics that work without Bogart, but this moment definitely needed Bogart. He wouldn't have missed it for the world, and they wouldn't have let them. When I pitched the idea to Ainna I sent her the original drabble but said I really wanted Bogart in it and she absolutely delivered. This rewrite adds Bogart as well as a few extra details. Initially I wasn't going to post this as a separate story but I more than doubled the original drabble so I felt it necessary.

Again, thank you so much for reading (if you made it this far). I can't thank you enough.

I hope you have a wonderful and happy holidays!

The Seresin's - Part II

A/N: Welcome to the second part of my HC's for the Seresin's (aka Hannix😌)! This part is about Jake's and Natasha's own family. There is a first part about the backstory of Jake's and Natasha's families, so the "OG-Seresin's" and the Trace's. IMPORTANT NOTE: These headcanons are NOT canon! They're "my version" of Hannix, which differs from the version of other creators in the fandom.

Warnings: family fluff (so much of that, so brace yourself😉)

Natasha and Jake started dating about one week after the mission.

Jake was sick of pretending that he didn’t have feelings for her and decided to tell her while they took a nightly stroll on the beach after spending the evening at the Hard Deck. After the mission they got orders to stay at Coronado Base, because the Navy considered to form an elite squad for especially tricky missions. Until that decision was made, they had to stay on North Island anyway.

Natasha was surprised by his confession but very happy. She scared him though because she didn’t respond right away. He half expected her to tell him off, but she was suddenly shy, almost whispering when admitting her feelings too.

After dating for about two years, they spent Christmas at the Trace’s, when Jake asked Natasha’s parents and her brothers for their blessings. He proposed on Christmas morning in front of the Christmas tree, surrounded by her whole family. (Credit for the inspo for this scene goes to @bradshawsbaby 's drabble. I’m sorry love, but I had to copy your wonderful idea, it was just so fitting for them😬🥰. I hope we’re still good, even though I copied your idea🥺)

Natasha had done her best to keep her dignity, but she’d burst into tears when she said yes.

They got married in Natasha’s hometown the following summer, after they’d decided to do the legal ceremony at the registry office in San Diego. The summer wedding was a bigger affair than they’d initially expected, but Emma (maid of honor) and Coyote (best man) had outdone themselves in planning a perfect day for them, so it didn’t matter.

In the end, Mr. and Mrs. Seresin were absolutely happy and ready for this next chapter in their lives. Oh yeah, Natasha is Natasha Seresin from now on… 

She’d been hesitant about the name change at first, partly because of the Navy, but mostly because she didn’t know, what her family thought about it. Natasha herself wasn’t opposed to changing her name, and Jake had told her that he was fine with whatever her decision would be. So, she asked her parents for advice.

Her mom said: “You have to do what makes you happy, mija.” 

And her dad told her: “Let me tell you two things… First of all, you’re always going to be a Trace, whether you keep that name or change it. And second of all, I think Natasha Seresin has a very nice ring to it. Don’t you think so?”

(Only) six months into their marriage, Natasha took a pregnancy test after Shannon and Liz had told her that she was showing pregnancy symptoms (she’d been very tired, rather hungry and moody lately😊). Natasha tried to brush it off, but they convinced her to at least take a test.

Well, it was positive. It was very unexpected, but she was so happy and excited once the initial shock had worn off.

She told Jake two days later, after her doctor had confirmed the pregnancy. She was unsure how to tell him at first, but then she came across a white little onesie with “I love daddy” written on it. She bought it and put it in a little box, together with one of the ultrasound pictures from her doctor and the positive pregnancy test.

He reacted about the same way she had when the test had been positive. He stared at the contents of the box, jaw practically on the floor.

“Are you serious, Nat?”, he asked after a minute, tears in his eyes.

She nodded, eyes welling up with tears as well. He’d swept her off her feet then, whirling her around the living room. In that moment, they were the happiest humans on the planet.

Telling friends and family was a bit of a chaos. Natasha’s parents found out first when they visited for her birthday. Unfortunately, they had to tell Natasha’s brothers and sisters-in-law over phone calls, because they couldn’t attend her birthday. Jake’s parents found out when it was Nancy’s birthday and Jake and Natasha flew down to Texas. His parents were surprised (and mildly concerned), given the fact that they had been married for only six months.

They even had the nerve to accuse Natasha of being after Jake’s money. Obviously not in Natasha’s presence, but they talked to Jake about it. *

That tore another deep chasm in the relationship between Jake and his parents. But Natasha was kind enough to remind both sides why they needed each other and that it would be unpleasant for the child if his father and grandparents fought.

Finally, they told their friends when they were hosting the annual easter dinner. They were all surprised (except Liz and Shannon, obviously😉) but very excited for the Seresin’s. Since all of them already had at least one child of their own, they showered them with do’s and don’ts until their heads exploded.

Obviously, Natasha had to quit flying immediately. Her and Jake talked a lot about the future then and eventually, she decided to quit the Navy too. She loved being in the Navy, but she couldn’t handle the thought of orphaning their child. Although Jake had promised her that they’d find a way to handle it all, even considering retiring himself, she stood by her decision and didn’t regret it one single minute.

Jake stayed on active duty for a bit longer, but when she neared the end of her pregnancy, he put in a request for becoming an instructor. Eventually the Navy agreed, but Maverick he had to pull quite a few strings… 

Lynn Helen Seresin, named after Jake’s beloved sister and Natasha’s grandma, was born four days before her due date, September 16th.

Both her parents were sobbing when she entered the world. They couldn’t stop staring at her, holding her, and whispering to her how much she was loved. Even though Natasha and Jake hadn’t believed their friends when they told them that their baby would turn their world upside down, it turned out to be 100% true.

Lynn was a little sunshine (much like her late aunt), but definitely giving her parents a run for their money. She was the spitting image of Jake, had his blonde hair and his green eyes. Though she looked like a mini me of Jake, many of her mannerisms were the ones of her mother. She was stubborn, fearless and very passionate about things she liked.

Nathalie Rose Seresin, in a sense named after Natasha (because Harry had originally wanted to name his daughter Nathalie) and Natasha’s abuela from Mexico, was born three days after her due date, on November 23rd, when Lynn was two years old.

Nathalie was more of a mix between Jake and Natasha. She had Natasha’s dark hair, but Jake’s green eyes. Her personality was more of a mix too. She shared her father’s sense for trouble and his confidence, and her mother’s stubbornness and kindness.

The girls were everything for their parents and came first at all costs. But once Lynn started kindergarten and Nathalie was old enough for daycare, Natasha opted to pursue a childhood dream: Becoming a teacher.

“When I was a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a teacher, but none of my teachers in elementary or middle school saw me as a teacher. I got really self-conscious about it and changed my mind. But then my English teacher in high school mentioned that I’d make a great teacher. Her jaw was on the floor when I told her that I want to become a fighter pilot. She supported my decision but reminded me of the difficulties I’d face when I want to start a family. I didn’t give it much thought because I was so young, but now I see why she warned me… Anyway, I can’t get the idea of becoming a teacher out of my head. I know the girls are still very little and it’s going to be a challenge to juggle it all, but I think we can work it out. What do you think?”

“Absolutely. We’re going to work it out, like we always do.”

Jake was upfront in supporting his wife. Obviously, she became a teacher, passing her exams with flying colors, like the champion that she was. He was so proud of her. And the bright smile on her face at her graduation ceremony was worth all the exhaustion they’d suffered in advance.

The girls grew up way too fast for Natasha’s and Jake’s liking, but they loved watching Lynn and Nathalie grow up into wonderful young women.

When Lynn was in fourth grade, she noticed that one of the boys in her class got picked at. She stood up and confronted the other kids about it, regardless of the consequences she would encounter. When Jake and Natasha learned about that at a teacher-parent-conference, they shared proud smiles, knowing that they raised their daughter right.

During middle school and high school, Nathalie gave tutoring after school, so that the students who couldn’t study at home could still pass their exams.

And both girls were engaging in sports too. While Nathalie was rather “traditional” and joined the cheerleading team, Lynn passionately played volleyball. 

When Lynn was in third grade, Natasha brought her along to one of Hailey’s volleyball games and she was hooked right away. Hailey and Lynn had always had a special bond, and they grew even closer when Lynn started playing volleyball too.

Nathalie joined the cheerleading team together with Sophie. They’d been attached at the hip practically since they were born, because Natasha and Emma had been pregnant at the same time and Sophie was born only about a month before Nathalie.

Anyway, the kids of the dagger squad were all very close with each other. They loved to see each other on the many “family gatherings” their parents made sure to organize.

Even when the kids were grown up and off to college, they made sure to still attend as many parties and Sunday brunches as they could.

To say the least, life had a lot of surprises in store for the Seresin’s throughout the years. Getting together in the first place (at least according to their friends😉), Natasha being pregnant after six months of marriage, Natasha’s drastic career change after having the kids… but the biggest surprise was without a doubt, that Lynn fell in love with none other than Nicholas “Nick” Pete Bradshaw.

But they weren’t high school sweethearts, no, no. They were just good friends for the majority of their youth. Nick had a girlfriend in high school and Lynn didn’t have time for a boyfriend, too caught up in volleyball and school.

But in college, they both finally saw that there was more between them than friendship. They decided to give love a try but kept it to themselves in case it didn’t work out.

Well, that concern wasn’t necessary, because they were made for each other.

Jake wasn’t on board in the beginning, but not because of Nick (In fact, he was very relieved to learn that his little girl fell for such a gentleman as Nick😌). It was more about him having trouble letting go of his little princess.

“You know, she’s not a little girl anymore”, Natasha laughed as they lay in bed the night after Lynn and Nick had made their relationship official.

“She’ll forever be my little girl”, he grumbled into Natasha’s hair, burying his face in her neck.

“I know you like to believe that, but she’s a grown-up woman who can make her own decisions.”

“Whatever.”

“No handsome, not whatever. We have to respect her decisions. But you know what? We did a pretty good job in raising her, so she’ll make smart decisions. And falling in love with Nick Bradshaw is a pretty smart one.”

And once he’d seen his baby girl with Nick a few times, he realized that she was indeed beyond happy and accepted their relationship.

He was nonetheless an emotional (and in Natasha’s eyes an overly dramatic) wreck on Lynn’s wedding day.

Nathalie is a slightly different story. She dated one boy in middle school, but they ended things when he moved to another city. In high school she dated a running back from the football team for two and a half years but broke up with him when she found out that he cheated on her with another girl from the cheerleading team.

When the dagger squad (which includes adults AND kids😅) found out, they were furious. The men and boys wanted to break that boy’s face and the women and girls were opting to corner him after school for a pep talk. *

Eventually, Nathalie ended up meeting her Mr. Right at a football game when she was 26 years old. She was there with a few colleagues from work and got into a discussion with a man who sat in the row in front of her. They argued over a play call by the home team and continued their bickering well past that one point.

By the end of the game, they were full on arguing. She found him too cocky for his own good and he called her arrogant and stubborn. However, they still exchanged names and numbers, telling their friends and colleagues that they still needed to determine a winner of this argument.

When Nathalie called her mother later that day, ranting about that guy named Ryan, she was utterly confused when her mother suddenly burst into a fit of giggles.

“Mom? Why are you laughing at me? What’s so funny?”

“Nothing darling! I’m sorry”, Natasha gasped out but couldn’t contain her amusement in the slightest.

“That’s not fair! Tell me the truth. What has you giggling like a schoolgirl?”

“Oh baby… You sound like me when I was talking about your father to my family back in the days!”

“No, I don’t! It’s not… mom, stop making things up! I will never, ever, not in a million years go out with that guy. Over my dead body!”

“Nathalie, darling… I used to say that about your dad and where have I ended up?”

“Mom, stop it.”

“Alright. Let me just tell you one more thing… your abuelo told me that many, many years ago… Don’t let your pride or stubbornness stand between you and your greatest happiness. And sometimes, that happiness looks different from what we imagined.”

Nathalie took that advice to heart, even if it took her another three weeks before agreeing to go on a date with Ryan.

In the end, it turns out to be the best decision she’s ever made in her life.

Natasha and Jake approved of Ryan as soon as Nathalie brought him home for the first time. When they got ready for bed that night, Jake chuckled to himself when he exited the bathroom.

“What are you laughing at?”, Natasha asked, curiosity getting the better of her.

“Oh, you know… today reminded me of something.”

“What?”

He grinned sheepishly and in the blink of an eye, Natasha found herself pinned underneath him, gasping in surprise.

“Nathalie and Ryan… they reminded me of us when we were younger. Bickering and teasing each other to no end without actually meaning it.”

“You sure about that?”, Natasha chuckled, raising an eyebrow challengingly.

Jake grinned ferally, pressing her further into the mattress. He brushed his nose along her jaw line and exhaled a breath next to the shell of her ear, making her shiver.

“Don’t tell me you actually meant any of your insults, sweetheart. Or else…”

“Or else what, Bagman?”, she whispered, suddenly out of breath.

“Or else I’m just gonna leave you like this, all worked up and desperate”, he growled into her ear, nipping at her pulse point, turning her legs into jelly, and making her heart flutter.

Natasha rolled her eyes but didn’t say anything, gladly surrendering herself to his touch and kisses. She was amazed by the fact that even after more than thirty years together, he still had as much power over her body as he did in the beginning. And that he could still make her heart do somersaults and her stomach flip.

When Jake and Natasha both retired, they sold the house in San Diego and moved back to Texas, to the old ranch of Jake’s grandparents. They did some renovations and (surprisingly) quickly got used to life far away from a big city. Lynn and her family as well as Nathalie and her family came to visit their parents whenever it was possible.

Up until their very last day on this earth, they were the happiest people and enjoyed each other’s company. Both were eternally grateful that they mustered up the courage to act on their feelings back on that beach on North Island. They got to live a life full of joy, laughter and love at each other’s side and looking back on it, they wouldn’t change a damn thing about it☺️.

A little love never hurt

Summary: Y/n is the youngest member of the Cullen family and the only human in the family expect Bella. With no mate she never thought she'd find the right one, so it came as a surprise when she was asked to marry the love of her life. Her sisters are all for it, but here's the real challenge, telling her parents.

Warnings:Just one curse word, thats it! oh and fluff/cuteness

Y/n paced the room, her beating heart struggling to contain her fear. Her sister Rosalie was on her left side watching the beads of sweat run down the girls temples, "What if they say no? What if they... they don't like him?" She kept muttering. Alice was trying to calm the girl down from her pacing movements and rambling as best as she could.

"Y/n Cullen! They're gonna love him, they love him already, they're gonna be happy, I promise!" She finally got out as she held the poor girls shoulders gently. "Yeah, Yeah your right... I'm just gonna come clean about it." She said walking for the door. She stepped out the door but came back only a few seconds later "But what about!" she began as Rose stood. "GO! Tell them, trust us, it'll be ok." She gave her younger sister a pat on the head as Alice hugged her and she headed to the main room.

Her brother's were sat in place, Edward fiddled with his fingers nervously, Jasper was content in the corner with his book as he waited for what you had to say, a sly smile on his face as he could feel your excitement from the other side of the house, Emmet was pacing the floor nervously which was not something you saw often, and your father and mother both sat upright with their hands held together.

Taking a deep breath outside the threshold of the door you stepped into the room, The first to their feet was your mother Esme. "Dear we were so worried, what is it that you need to talk about? We came as soon as we could from the hunting." You smiled a little. "Thank you for respecting my few hours while I talked with the girls," you began. "You ok Y/n?" Carlisle called from where he was sitting. He could see you were nervous, the sweat thick on your forehead and temples, the red eyes as if you had been crying, and the slick grease hands.

"Mom, Dad, I..." You paced yourself as you got glances from the other three siblings who had stopped what they were doing to look at you. "I. I'm getting married." You finally said as you held out your hand with the ring on it. A heavy smile shined brightly on your face as Your mother raced over to view the shiny object that sat on your ring finger.

"OMG!" Emmet cried out from the corner he was in, "MY LITTLE SISTER'S GETTING MARRIED!" you knew he'd be excited. Your mom looked up and gently set her cold hand on your cheek, "I'm very happy for you dear, I can't wait to see you in a wedding dress." whew at least she was happy. Emmet began to run up to you and hugged you tightly, Edward cut in after he lifted you into his arms and spun your arms. "Let's not break her before the big day Emmet." he chuckled and you did too as he set you to your feet.

Jasper stood and walked over, wrapping two cold arms around your torso he enveloped you in a hug. It was a gentle one, but a firm one, the same ones he would give you when he was proud of you or if you just needed someone to help you through a tough time. Turning to your father he sat there with a small smile on his face. "I've watched you grow up since you were little, this is news to me. I'm happy you found the right person, if he truly makes you happy then I support your decision Y/n." Thank god he approved.

The girls had joined you by now and both enveloped you into a group hug as your father stood and made his way to you. "A little love never hurt anyone right?" You asked a little slyly. Both of your parents smiled and kissed each side of your cheeks. "We are so proud of you Y/n." they both said together.

"Omg we need to go dress shopping!!" Alice announced excitedly from behind you. "I think that can wait for the minute Alice." Carlisle said. they chuckled and went back to hugging you, the coldness swarming you in a comforting way.

I'm pleased to say that your father was very happy to walk you down the isle as you were handed off to your groom, your siblings all helped plan the wedding too. Of course Alice being the main decorator, but your dress, well it was all on you. And they all had to agree you looked so happy and so stunning. Both your parents were very proud to call you their daughter.

you may have been younger than him (by a year or two)

You would know exactly who the Marauders are

But they weren't your idols

They were too noisy

You like to spend time in the library

You know that he is one of the Marauders

And you were surprised that he was so calm and quiet

You didn't imagine him like this

He would be reading a book

And you're trying to calm him down

Tell Harry what wonderful people his parents were

you in no hurry to get married

But in the end you would have married Remus

The best family

Remus is teaching Harry magic.

He's such a good teacher.

That's when he thinks about becoming a teacher at Hogwarts.

But he does not consider it necessary.

Harry is still very young boy

As he gets older, you and Remus start thinking seriously about your second child.

Harry knew that you weren't his real parents.

But he considers you his family.

You cry when he calls you "mom"at the age of five.

And Remus - "Dad".

Later it becomes a habit, and he always calls you and Remus that.

"Mom, I want to play Quidditch on this broom!".

Remus is crying because James also loved Quidditch.

he looks so much like him

and Lily, too

cry together with Remus remembering the memories

until Harry wakes up

and he won't ask why you're crying

"Oh, honey, we're crying because we love you so much! "

And so Harry is eight when you find out that you are pregnant.

Remus doesn't leave your side for a second.

Come Harry's room one evening

He's crying

"Oh, my God! Honey, what's wrong?"

"Will you really not need me now?"

You were shocked by this question.

"Harry, we love you very much, of course we need you!"

you told Remus about it.

would have done anything with Remus for him

So that he would never think about it again.

Because Remus and you is very very very love Harry

You and Remus had a baby boy.

Harry and Remus were so happy.

Remus wanted a son.

And Harry's brother.

You were happy too, because, oh, my God, you have a son!

Send Harry to Hogwarts for the first time.

you knew that Harry would be in Gryffindor.

like his father James

and his mother Lily

And you would have cried

Because your boy has grown up

Your son and Remus also saw Harry off

It's so touching.

SteveTony - Superfamily

Here are some Superfamily fics that I love. Don’t forget to leave kudos and nice comments in every fic!

What We Learn?, by nannersmelo, 1 k >, Fluff.

“Who is this?”

“That doesn’t matter. What matters is that we have your husband, so you will listen very closely-”

“My husband Tony? Tony Stark?”

"...Yes?”

“Oh well,” Steve laughed, “good luck with that.”

Intruder, by wordscorrupt, 500 words.

Steve and Tony face a rather tiny, adorable intruder in the middle of the night.

the privilege of loving you by starklystar, 7 k > words.

“Why won’t you let me touch you?”

It’s a desperate plea, half-shouted and half-whispered, Steve’s voice cracking at the end. Tony stops in his tracks, halfway to the stairs. He doesn’t dare to turn back, and he really doesn’t want to fight, or to leave, to spend the last month of his life away from his husband and their son. But Steve can’t know, can he?

-x-

Or: Tony has palladium poisoning, but he doesn't tell Steve and Peter

ah-choo by starksnack, 3 k words, Hurt/Comfort.

Peter catches a cold at the park while Tony is away for work. Steve is all out of sorts trying to care for a sick child on his own.

The Sign by nightwalker, 2 k > words, Adoption.

Tony hadn't slept the night before and he knew Steve hadn't either. They'd just laid there, side by side, listening to each other breathe and thinking their own thoughts. Somewhere around dawn Steve had rolled onto his side and splayed his fingers over Tony's heart.

Bellflower (unwavering love) by S_Horne, 1 k > words.

“Aw, man.” Tony shook his head at himself as he finally broke. He bent down and tucked his hands underneath Peter’s armpits, hoisting him up onto his hip with a practiced ease. “You’re lucky you’re cute.”

“No m’not.”

Tony shook his head, straightening Peter’s shirt out where it had bunched up around his chest. “You’re in one of those moods today, aren’t you?”

Peter shook his head sagely and Tony huffed a laugh. “Not. You’re just mean.”

“I swear,” Tony said, blowing out a sigh, “if your Pops walks in and you turn into an angel, you’re grounded until you’re 50.”

a little lemonade by tonystarkssnipples, 1 k > words.

Tony came downstairs after putting Piper to sleep to find Steve with about 10 pounds of lemons spread across the table. At Tony’s footsteps, Steve looked up at him with wide eyes. “The recipe says a cup of lemon juice per gallon.”

“And?”

“I don’t know how many lemons make a cup of lemon juice.”

--or--

It's summer and Steve wants to help their daughter with a lemonade stand.

Distracted by a Dime by happyaspie, 56 k > words, Homeless Peter Parker.

Peter Parker thinks he has everything figured out. Where he can eat, sleep and make a little bit of money. What he needs to do in order to continue attending Midtown High and being Queen’s friendly neighborhood Spider-man. How to keep his entire situation under wraps and most importantly, who he can trust.

Then, along comes Tony Stark with an offer he can’t refuse. The plan is to remain professional, to not get too close to the Stark-Rogers’ family. Not getting comfortable means not slipping up and saying anything that he can’t take back.

...but for Peter- things rarely go as planned...

one makes me want another by parkrstark, 12 k > words, Adoption, Angst with a Happy Ending.

Steve and Tony adopt Peter when he's 6-years-old and 10 years later, he still thinks he's living the best life with two father doting on him. Until they tell him about the new baby they're bringing home and suddenly, the attention is all on her.

steve rogers-stark: full time dad/husband, part time spider relocator by parkrstark, 1 k > words, Spiders, Fluff.

"Love, what's wrong?" He called out, waiting for a reply.

"Steve!" Tony instantly screamed back. "Come here! I need you!"

Steve quickened his pace slightly, trying to keep himself calm so he didn't worry Peter. Babies could sense that stuff. "Where is 'here', love?"

“Bathroom!"

come morning light (we'll be safe & sound) by parkrstark, 14 k > words, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending.

After a strange mission, Steve, Tony, and Peter find themselves trapped in their own living nightmares. Some memories of their past, some they hoped to keep from even each other, and some of the worst 'what if's their minds can imagine. All they have is each other until they wake up...but is that enough to survive until they figure out how?

Gelid Feint by geekymoviemom, 21 k > words, Fluff and Angst.

Gelid: icy; extremely cold

Feint: a deceptive or pretended blow

Steve Rogers’ world had completely changed since he was discovered in the Arctic Ice. Not only had he led a team of actual superheroes to defend New York against an alien invasion, he had also found love, and the family he’d never dared to dream he could have.

So when Nick Fury asked Steve on a simple mission to retrieve materials from a hidden bunker, Steve thought nothing of it.

Until the demons he’d thought he had buried within the Red Skull’s airplane suddenly reappeared, and he was forced to face the one enemy he’d thought he had vanquished.

He had cut off one head, but now two more had taken its place.

love lives on by parkrstark, 6 > k words, Teacher Steve Rogers, Alternate Universe.

Steve doesn't like picking favorite students, but when he gets Peter in his class, he can't help it when this sweet little boy becomes his favorite. He shouldn't be surprised when one day his father picks him up, and Steve realizes that he's the son of Tony Stark...the love of his life he let go back in high school. Steve wants his second chance, even if Tony doesn't want anything to do with him anymore.

maybe love is the reason why (we're seeing it eye to eye) by parkrstark, 134 k > words, undercover as a family, Fake/Pretend Relationship.

"I'm sorry. Repeat that again." Tony leaned forward in his seat from across the table. He even stuck a finger in his ear as if he was cleaning it out. "I don't think I heard you right."

Fury rolled his eyes-- or well, eye. "You and Rogers need to go undercover as a married couple in a community out on Long Island."

--

After Civil War, Tony and Steve are sent on an undercover mission as a couple to try and find Hydra informants. Somehow, they end up with Peter as their undercover son who decides to play matchmaker even if the two of them are doing their best to ignore their feelings after Siberia.

little moments like this by parkrstark, 1 k > words, Domestic Fluff.

Steve grabs the blanket and covers himself. "Stop it! My husband will kill you!"

It takes Tony only a second to realize what Steve thinks is going on and he laughs. "Steve, it's me. Tony." He tries to take the blanket off, but Steve doesn't let him.

"Don't-- take advantage of me! My husband will kill you!"

Or, Steve is loyal to no end. Even after a night of drinking Asgardian mead.

Trapped in the Shadows by geekymoviemom, 97 k > words, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Parent Tony Stark.

All Steve Rogers wanted after a lifetime of war was to immerse himself in quiet, and solitude. Opening a bookstore seemed like the perfect answer. He could escape to any world that he desired, all while keeping his past firmly behind him, where it belonged.

Until the day Peter Stark walked in.

anytime by complicationstoo, 714 words, Pre-Serum Steve Rogers, Established Relationship.

Steve is there, holding Tony's sleepy one year old against his chest and stirring scrambled eggs on the stove with his free hand. He's murmuring quietly to Peter, low enough that Tony can't quite make out the words, but there's a soft smile on his face as he talks.

Tony wanders further in, sneaking up behind him and wrapping his arms around his waist. He buries his face into Steve's hair, and he can hear the grin in Steve's voice as he says, "Good morning, dear.”

How To Change A Diaper by writerstrash, 1 k > words, Established Relationship, Fatherhood.

Steve and Tony deal with a wriggly, crawly baby Peter who enjoys keeping his parents on their toes.

C!Ranboo, c!Tommy and c!Tubbo x Parental!GN!Reader (FLUFF) (HEADCANON) (LONG)

Au Setting: Au where the war never happened and everything is fairly normal but relationships are still rather strained. Not really canon compliant.

♡When Ranboo first met you thanks to Tommy and Tubbo, he was a little wary of you, but his views on you quickly changed when he found out that you were just trying to be neutral and friendly to everyone in the server like he was and that you even helped everyone who came to you looking for help.

♡He's appreciative of how patient you are with him and his forgetfulness. He knows it can get frustrating but he appreciates that you never get angry at him and just tell him that it's okay. You understand that it isn't really something he can control and just try your best to help him out with it when you can.

♡He likes the bond you have with Tommy and Tubbo. He was a little hesistant to enter your little trio, thinking he'd be a bother since he was pretty much an outsider, but thanks to you, Tommy and Tubbo, you helped made him feel at ease hanging around you three together.

♡He doesn't remember having a parental figure in his life before, but after almost a year of knowing you, he thinks that it's safe enough for him to see you as such. In his memory notebook, he lables you as his mom/dad/parent friend that he can trust. He never tells you about it but he does show it through his actions.

♡While he does trust you with his secrets, the one reason why he won't always tell you about them is because of how you have to manage Tommy and Tubbo's troubles as well. He doesn't want to overwhelm you but sometimes if he thinks he has to let things out he does tend to spill to you. He's grateful that you always listen and comfort him when he does, that you're still willing to care for him even though you have other problems as well.

♡You're rather happy to have Ranboo join your little family and you're beyond estatic that he's the more well behaved one in the trio. As much as you love your feral boys, another one may be too much on your plate. You can trust Ranboo to not cause trouble when you're away and to maken sure the other two don't either.

(Read more placed because it got long once again)

♡Onto more general headcanons now!

♡So, Tommy and Tubbo like to tease and mess around with Ranboo more so than they do with one another, but when they know that he's now part of the family, they'll protect him just as much as they protect one another and you. Sure he may be older then the both of them, but they aren't going to let anyone mess with him, even if they don't show it.

♡As stated before, Ranboo helps you keep Tommy and Tubbo out of trouble when you ask him to. When they seem to still plan on causing mayhem even though you're just going to be gone for a few minutes, he'll use his height as an advantage and carry both of them under his arms like sacks of potatoes. No matter how many times you see it, you cannot stop yourself from laughing yourself half to death when you see Tommy flailing about and screaming.

♡Before Ranboo, Tommy and Tubbo almost always came over on Monday mornings to have breakfast with you. When they were younger, their fathers usually left on Monday mornings, leaving them in your care during those days. Because of how often it happened, breakfast on Mondays just seemed to be a routine thing you 3 shared. You were quick to invite Ranboo over once you two got comfortable with one another and Ranboo never fails to show up with cake each time, much to the delight of all three of you.

♡Ranboo has a tendency to bring blocks over to your place, placing them haphazardly at times. You didn't really want to remove them, not wanting to upset Ranboo, so you came up with a plan with Tommy and Tubbo to make little structures with them. Lord, you had to promise them cookies so Tommy wouldn't make anything crude out of them and rope Tubbo into it. The structures were placed in an empty field close to your farm and Ranboo was pretty happy with it! He also turned it into his designated block area too instead of your home area, much to your relief.

♡Freaking sleepovers at your place, yes. This happens when Tommy and Tubbo are dealing with a few problems at home and just need some time away from family. All they have to do is show up with bags at your place and you're already opening the door open wide for them no matter what time it is. Ranboo starts joining the sleepovers as well during days where he feels worse than others and just needs some nice company around him. These sleepovers aren't as wild as you think they might be, they're just filled with hot drinks, talking absolute nonsense and sleeping the day away until all of you feel better.

♡Speaking of sleep, you three have freaked out when Ranboo first entered his enderwalk state. You three woke up to the sound of the door being slammed open at 4 am with Ranboo nowhere to be found. You three rushed out only to see him picking up blocks and placing them randomly.

♡You three try calling out to him but nothing happens, so you decide to just follow him around since you're all wide awake now anyways. Things are fine at first with all of you cracking little jokes here and there about the situation but the panic starts back up again when Ranboo almost falls into the river near your home. Seriously, you'd be surprised if all three screams of "RANBOO!" didn't wake up anyone in the server.

♡All three of you had to tackle Ranboo to stop him and drag him away from the river. He was still asleep which amazed you guys, but at least he wasn't an unstoppable moving force anymore. For the first time in a while, you actually locked all your doors and windows just to ensure he wouldn't escape again and thankfully he didn't. You made Tommy and Tubbo promise to never speak of this to him in the morning and to your shock, they agreed, maybe its because they couldn't exactly believe what just happened themselves.

♡After the boys tuck Ranboo and themselves back into their respective sleeping spots you can't help but sigh and smile tiredly as you watch the three of them rest. Well, your troublemaking duo just seemed to turn into a chaotic trio now that Ranboo was in the picture and as you flop yourself back onto your own sleeping spot you can't help but think you wouldn't have it any other way. As you told yourself before, they were your boys, after all.

A/N: I have little to no self control and it shows- I had way too much fun with this. Thank you so much for the request, I really enjoy getting these parental ones! I really hope you all enjoyed reading this and I apologize for any mistakes in this story since I wrote it in a rush!

(Requests are open and anon is on!)

downright going to be the most classic one. he'd bring you over for a christmas dinner, his mum and dad looking at you quizzically and you swear to god it was the most raveling moment ever in your whole life. the fear, the anxiety and the pain of being rejected by his parents weighs far too much in your head. however, chan would hold your hand, rub small circles at the junction between your thumb and your other fingers and tell his parents that you're his bestfriend, his lover, the one he loves in the present and hopefully for a long time. that he wants to spend his christmas with every single human being that he loves under the same roof. it is only after this that his parents calm down, cheer up and are overjoyed that their son has found someone to be with — to share his happiness and sadness with. will go down in your history as one of the best christsmases you have shared.

𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐇𝐎

here to spread the college boyfriend!minho agenda. this was off this ad that i saw the other day and idek why i found it cute but it was dead cute and i knew that's definitely minho. 100%. so you're over at his lodging room in college in his shirt — minho swears to god he finds you the cutest in his shirts — watching this romcom on netflix on his laptop. you're cuddled up against him on his bed and minho's kissing your cheeks occasionally when you're too engrossed into the movie, making sure he gets the gasp and the chuckle exactly from you. and all was going well till he gets a video call notification from his mother and he's scrambling up from his bed, angling the mirror away from you as he answers, "hi, mom." his mother would ask of him to show his new room, something he was supposed to do earlier and he sighs, "can we do this tomorrow? it's late and i have this assignment to do?" but his mother wouldn't have it any other way and insists — determination running through their family veins evidently. and here you are, scrambling around his room everytime he moves to show his room to his mum, just to avoid the camera. until you can sit back on the bed and minho's rushing to end the conversation, "can i please go do my assignments now, mum?" you know you're royally fucked when minho's mother laughs, only to ask her son, "does your assignment wear your shirts now? you should introduce them to me."

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐁𝐈𝐍

changbin's whole family knows you already. in fact, if anything, it was his sister that forced him to finally ask you out because he has been crushing on you forever. the following events happen in this particular order: you're the cute cashier at his favorite drink place and if college has taught him one thing, it is never to miss out on an opportunity and he knows he must ask you out. his sister is with him and finds him all awe eyed at you and she knows. she also knows that her brother is a wimp and won't ask you out so she nags him over throwing litter all over in his room if he doesn't. changbin thinks it's the extra push he needed and he does ask you out while paying his bill — a mere, "uhm, i think you're cute. if you happen to have some, uh, free time this saturday evening, we could go watch a movie or something. oh, i mean, of course, if only you're free and if you haven't watched the movie and like everyone seems to be busy and you're just so so pretty i ha—" changbin still remembers the way you giggled, the way you held your chest and the way you smiled and nodded. changbin's family knows that very evening because siblings are snitches deep down and his sister yells as soon as she enters the home, even before she has taken her shoes off — "listen, listen! our changbinnie grew up. guess who has a lover, guess who, guess who!" all changbin could yell back was, "they are prettier than you and nicer than you!" and stick his tongue out. needless to say, changbin was found picking scrap paper off his room's floor at 2am.

lowkey his parents are suspicious of you and think you're not a great person and this is another episode of hwang hyunjin getting overly attached and loving another human. you can't blame them. experiences make parents cautious and when all of hwang hyunjin's relationship has ended him with an aching heart, you know you'd be suspicious of the next person he brings home too. he brings you home for dinner and his parents were definitely not expecting another member. it starts with frigid stares and hard, short answers and hyunjin has to hold your hand to stop you from crying because you feel like you lost your chance even before you had it. that is till, hyunjin speaks up, "mum, dad. i love them. and i know you guys are doing this because you fear they're going to break my heart—" "i wouldn't," you mumble, "you're going to break mine if this ends." and hyunjin chuckles, kissing your cheek before his parents. he turns to them and repeats the same, "i love them. so much and i hope you can accept them and not pin all my bad experiences on them. please." it takes a few more meetings for his parents to warm up to you but it happens slowly over the time, till — you're now spending every other weekend with his mum to bake cakes.

𝐉𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐆

so jisung, as much as he needs the caring and loving, is an eccentric man. he's so eccentric you're so sure you fell for him because of that, because of how he manages to make you always smile. so eccentric that he had a whole ppt presentation on why everyone should be like you. and this stupid boyfriend who is oh so in love shows this before his parents to announce how he's dating you. it's like a one slide presentation. he's planned it all out for days. he'll bring you over in the guise of being a friend and then surprise his parents after dinner by turning this great one slide presentation on. it'll have a picture of you on the side and points in bullets to the left — of how you're pretty, of how you're funny, how you make him want to be a better person, how he wants to continue going to the orphanage to help every sunday with you, how he wants to give you his world. how you're the nicest person he knows. your parents are smiling and they know. they know even before the announcement that you're his lover and better half and you make him happy and so does he. and courtesy of jisung's great brain, the animations rotate and land and the last two lines are so big that you blush and are embarrassed but god fucking help you, you're so in love with him that this makes your heart race. "be like y/n. be my lover," races into the screen and you think the animations makes it even more quirkier than it already is. until his mother makes everyone laugh even more by asking, "are you asking us all out, sungie? doubt they would like that."

𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐗

another one of the classic introduction types. felix asks you if it's alright for him to finally introduce you to his family and you nod, heart fluttering because you know for sure this is a huge step. upon much consideration, you agree to go for dinner with his parents at his place the following weekend. you're asking him over the week if this dress was alright or if you should go for formals and as much as he reassures you that it's not a huge deal — it is a huge deal to you. you want his parents to know how serious you are of him. you even being a gift home that night and bake some muffins and his mother is just really impressed (if she wasn't already flustered by all the stuff you brought). and when you know you have warned up enough to them, you know his mother is going to show the embarassing pictures just to fluster her son and it works. you do spend some good hours with his parents — his dad giving you a thumbs up to be new fashioned as you leave and his mum waving you good bye — and it is only after this you sigh in relief, tension off your shoulders. you've left a good impression and felix knows this too as he kisses you in his car.

𝐒𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐌𝐈𝐍

seungmin is the softest boyfriend ever. i mean seriously, if the whole world already didn't know the two of you were dating would be a surprise — it's the pretty bracelets you wear, the matching hoodies found in your closets or how you're just always in his blue hoodie. always. and so when seungmin is rushing you, two weeks into official dating for you to meet his parents, you're wide eyed. all he has to say is, "i'll be going to marry you either way. why wait till the day before marriage to show you off to my parents also." and he'd be so thrilled. seungmin's mum is enthralled because he is enthralled. he is so excited to tell his parents about you and about how you're his lover. his to show off. his to love. for years to comes. and you're blushing in front of his parents, ears heated up at the term. seungmin's dad jokingly pats his son's back, laughing, "have you grown up already to bring someone home?" and he nods, smiling like the dork you fell in love with. his mother rushes to sit you down by the table, ready to take care of you and you realise — seungmin's family will always be as accepting as he is. the fruit doesn't fall that far away from the tree, after all.

𝐉𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍

trust me, he's the reckless kind. he'll care for you, love for you and be there for you but he's so bad with dates and timings and everything that mistakes like this were bound to happen at one point. he's shifted to his own place and jeongin is so excited that he calls you over — "y/n, you must come here. even the bed is warm." and you know what that meant. the bane of every mankind's downfall and every civilization's achilles' hill. that is exactly how you ended up next to jeongin, his hands cupping your face and him kissing you like he has all the time in the world now that he has his own place. until the two of you hear the door click and jeongin pulls back, swearing and in panic. you hold his shoulder in worry and he's telling you that his parents were supposed to come over, today. that he didn't know it would be this early, however. and the only thing his oh-so-bright brain could come up with in that moment is to shove you and himself into the small closet till his parents leave. and even if it meant a few sweaty minutes in the closets in each other's warmth, moans and giggles in the air albeit the warning of silence, and jeongin kissing you in places the heavens shouldn't know, you'll happily brace it all for him. the two of you come out of the closet only after you hear the door shut again. the two of you walk down carefully to see if his parents are away, only to find a small yellow post it note stuck on the fridge — you should have told us you had someone over. you bury your face into his shoulders in embarassment as you ask, "they heard, didn't they?" he chuckles, "probably. we'll get you to officially meet then soon. my mum loves pies and you bake the best ones. she'll fall for you like i did. instantly."
