Heads Up, Seven Up Game

I was tagged by @starsuncounted (thank you!)

RULES: Post the last 7 sentences that you wrote.

The stranger laughed, sharp-edged and brittle, making Maitimo shiver. “I should kill you and save the world trouble,” he said, “but I already tried, and look how that turned out. No, you don't deserve mercy. But him…” Maedhros held little Makalaure tighter. “I can save him. I owe him that, after everything.”

Tagging: @camille-lachenille @dreamingthroughthenoise @lordgrimwing and whoever else wants to join in! No pressure, of course.

2. Hello! I have been reading a fic where the elder Lan Wangji Hanguang Jun time travels into the past time in Cloud Recess during the time when his Younger self and Wwx were studying

[phoenixyfriend]

I love classifying things so I want to just classify (some of) my time-travel fics according to what kind of Family comes out of it, getting more and more complicated:

Time Travel ft. Leia and Vader As per canon, Vader is Leia's biodad and she hates him. Anakin is very upset when he finds out Vader's prior identity.

Leia Antilles, Senator of Serenno This entire AU concept is about time-traveler Leia becoming non-evil Dooku's adopted heir to an entire planet, so I guess he's grandpa.

Rex and Anakin Raise a Family Rex and Anakin raise the twins. They do a Tatooine run and pick up Shmi (5yo), and adopt her as their own.

Fake Spontaneous Training Bond Fulcrum!Ahsoka is friends with TPM!Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, and takes TPM!Anakin as her own padawan. Complicated relationships, all very close, very tragic.

Obi-Wan Declares Himself Dad-Shaped - Mid-TCW Anakin and Ahsoka are de-aged (12-ish and 8-ish respectively). Obi-Wan is not. He declares himself their father. - They do a Tatooine run and pick up Shmi (18yo), who is not adopted, but is very important to all of them.

Anakin and the Jedi Babies - Mid-TCW Obi-Wan and Ahsoka are de-aged (6mo and 2yo respectively). Anakin is not. He declares himself their father. - They do a Tatooine run and pick up Shmi (11yo), who decides she's Anakin's younger sister now. - Shmi later (21yo) gets together with Jango (25yo) and has a baby girl around the same time Anakin would have been born. Baby ends up in her uncle's care at the Temple after being found to be Force-Sensitive on the level of Anakin at that age.

Sandstorm Verse Anakin redefines himself as Shmi's long-lost younger brother (she's in on the lie), fake-marries Rex, real-adopts Ahsoka, and treats his younger self as a nephew. Shockingly healthy dynamics all around, somehow.

Uncle Ben and Little Luke - mid-RotJ Ben (phys. mid-30s), is basically dad - post-Malachor Ahsoka (phys. 17-18), is Auntie - mid-RotJ Skywalker twins (phys. 6), are baby - mid-RotJ Rex (phys. 10-12), is ??? but family -- Connecting with non-time-travelers, including Jango, Shmi, baby Anakin, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, Dooku, and I'm not entirely convinced that Ahsoka skips out on going a little cougar and asking out early-twenties Quinlan

Fett and Fulcrum Imagine you're Jango Fett, age 25. A Jedi lady about your age with murder in her eyes just gave you a concussion and stole your ship, with you still in it. Her semi-willing sidekick is your son from the future, who is 19 and has conflicting feelings about you in relation to his three million enslaved brothers. Jedi lady hates you at first, but a few months later you're getting exceedingly rowdy in a closet while your future-son that you've adopted as brother is eating cereal with a pair of headphones a few floors down, trying very hard to not be aware of your burgeoning relationship with a former Jedi spymaster.

General Kenobi and the Twins - COMPLICATED AS KRIFF - General Ben Kenobi (38yo) is legally and functionally the father of Luke and Leia (newborns). - Anakin Skywalker (11yo) is the biological father of the twins via time-travel, functionally an older brother because he's still baby; due to the original timeline, he is also slipped into the role of one of Ben's children. - Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (27yo) is nobody's dad, thank goodness, but also has the most complicated relationships, because he's the Doubled person. He's letting Ben be Anakin's father figure. Obi-Wan personally is functionally Anakin's older brother. He lets himself be assigned Uncle by the twins. He lets Ben be assigned Uncle to him. He has no idea what he is to Shmi, other than worthy of pity. - Shmi (34yo) is Anakin's mom (duh) and biologically the grandmother of the twins. She is helping Ben raise the twins (as the only adult Skywalker), and is basically their mom. She's not in a relationship with Ben, but is gladly co-parenting him. - Quinlan (29yo) is Shmi's boytoy. - Ahsoka (5yo) bullies her way into being a sister to Anakin and the twins (after Ben cries on her) - Plo Koon (???yo) is Quinlan's grandmaster, thus functionally grandfather, via Tholme; he is Ahsoka's finder (functionally godfather?). He babysits a lot and nobody knows what he is other than Really Helpful and Dad-Shaped. - Padme (16yo) is the twin's biological mother. She does not know this, and will not for a number of years yet.

Always Led Back to You Chapter 4, a John Doe/Seraphina fanfiction from UnOrdinary.

Sooooooo guess who accidentally gave her boyfriend access to her AO3 account including all her smut fics? This girl. And by accidentally I mean I sent him this very fic I was proud of without realizing he now has all my AO3 fics at his disposal. 

RIP

Here’s chapter 4! Now we can get started!

Disclaimer: I don’t own UnOrdinary

-------------------

Seraphina felt like her head was pounding. She groaned, attempting to sit up.

“Easy there, Seraphina. You collapsed.” A familiar voice spoke out.

“Leilah?” Seraphina voiced out, feeling dizzy, having trouble focusing. What did that drug do to her? Did Leilah know that the drug would do that?

Suddenly, Seraphina felt sick and before she could stop it, she vomited bile all over the blankets.

“Ugh…” Seraphina wiped her mouth, her vision slowly beginning to focus. “Leilah, where’s John?”

“John?” Leilah blinked. “Who’s John?”

“The boy who saved us! The one with the dark hair!” Seraphina was losing her patience with her sister. Leilah went quiet. “Leilah?”

“Seraphina… what do you mean someone saved us? You mean from Mother and Father?” Leilah spoke cautiously.

“Leilah! Enough games! I’m talking about Spectre! Your organization!” Seraphina snarled viciously, the pounding of her head increasing with the returning of her vision. Finally, she could focus…

She was in her room. Her room from home. She hasn’t been here since she left home to return to Wellston to be with John…

And Leilah was there. She was there, and much younger than when Seraphina recently saw her.

“Lei… Leilah?” Seraphina questioned, confused. Leilah looked as if she’s seen a ghost.

“Seraphina… it sounds like you’ve had a bad dream…” Leilah smiled uneasily, quickly reversing the vomit off of Seraphina’s blankets so they were as good as new. She felt her younger sister’s forehead, trying to locate a temperature. “You suddenly fainted, and Mother and Father cancelled all extracurricular activities for the afternoon so you could rest.”

Seraphina didn’t respond, registering what Leilah told her. She climbed out of bed, despite Leilah’s protests and went towards her full body mirror.

It was her. She was in her twelve-year-old body.

“Seraphina, I’m going to bring you more food, okay? Mother putting you on a hunger strike must’ve messed with your body.” Leilah placed her hands on Seraphina’s shoulders. Seraphina paid her no heed, touching the mirror, tracing her image.

‘I’m twelve years old again!’ Seraphina thought. She was numb, and Leilah took this chance to lead her sister back to bed.

“Stay in bed and rest. I’m going to get you some food, okay?” Leilah told her. Leilah departs from her bedside and walks towards the bedroom door. However, she paused, keeping her green eyes ahead. “Also… I think you should forget your dream. I’ve never heard of Spectre.” With that, she exited the room, leaving Seraphina alone.

‘What’s going on?’ Seraphina’s heart began pounding in panic. ‘I’m twelve years old again! Is this some kind of illusion? How can this be possible?’ Despite her head pounding, she rose from her bed again, journeying back to the mirror to make sure she wasn’t imagining it.

Sure enough, her twelve-year-old self was still there staring back at her.

“I remember being in Arlo’s barrier against Spectre. Then Leilah… The drug!” Seraphina quickly brought her hand to her neck where she remembered the syringe being stabbed into her. She tried to feel for some evidence of a prick but could find none. She then brought her hands in front of her face, examining them. “Leilah said the drug was a prototype. Could it have interfered with my ability in some way?”

She reached inside her for the familiar echo she once knew. Anything to know she did indeed have her ability again…

Nothing.

“No…” Seraphina’s hands began shaking. “I’m still am a cripple? Then what happened?!” She ran her hands through her long magenta hair, attempting to gain some kind of semblance of reality in this new world. “So instead of gaining my ability back in the present, it caused my ability to send me back in time and have it no more?! What kind of sick antidote is this?!”

Seraphina tried to keep her voice leveled, but her entire being wanted to scream. Not only was she somehow in the past, but now she didn’t have her ability. What would happen if her parents found out? Would she be trapped here forever, with no escape? Seraphina wasted no time in grabbing her calendar, trying to in vain to gain some sort of control in this situation.

“I just started my final year in elementary school…” Seraphina whispered. “If this is correct, that means that Leilah will be running away from home before the year ends to join Spectre. I’ll be left alone with Mother and Father…”

With no ability, she didn’t dare finish out loud.

“I remember everything going black… and then…. John!” Seraphina’s eyes widened. “I remember John. I kept hearing him call my name. I remember thinking about him before everything went black…” Seraphina began to pace shakily, her pounding headache not helping her revert to a calm state at all. “Did thinking about John somehow effect how far I was sent back? But why this year…”

Suddenly, she stopped pacing, realizing exactly when she was.

“John started middle school this year…” Seraphina whispered. “John meets Claire this year… and then—” she turns to look at the calendar again, studying it. “John…”

“John’s priority was and has always been you”

-------------------

“Seraphina! I’ve brought you your soup!” Leilah cheerfully announces as she entered Seraphina’s room with a tray. “Seraphina?” Leilah called, finding her sister nowhere to be seen in her room. She walked farther into the room, placing the tray on Seraphina’s desk.

The room was tidy and perfect as usual. There was no sign of disturbance. However, something caught Leilah’s eye and she walked closer to Seraphina’s desk, finding her secret drawer has been opened.

“Her secret money stash…” Leilah whispered. Realization hit her then and she ran towards Seraphina’s closet, past all the clutter towards where Seraphina was hiding her backpack. “Her travel pack is gone...”

A breeze then caught Leilah’s hair, and she journeyed towards the window that was ajar, blowing the curtains gently in the room. It was dark outside, and nothing could be seen for miles.

‘Seraphina!’ Leilah screamed in her mind, heart stopping.

-----------------

‘I’m insane! I’m most definitely insane!’ Seraphina thought, head still pounding and body shaking, but she kept running at break neck speed. ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this!’

If she hurried, she could catch a train ride set for New Bostin. She knew she had enough saved up from her stash to afford a ticket. She was leaving everything she knew, but Seraphina couldn’t find herself to regret her decision.

‘I can save him! There’s still a chance! This time John—you won’t be alone!’

She managed to make it away from her family’s estate into the city, traveling under darkness. Her clothes were covered in dirt from tripping so many times in the dark in her haste, but Seraphina couldn’t bring herself to care about her multiple cuts and scrapes nor the state of her clothes. Passersby ignored her, only crinkling their nose at her state of mess, before assuming she was a low-tier who was beat up and going back to their business.

Arriving at the station, Seraphina was elated to find it was still open, even at this late hour. She didn’t bother taking a break, despite her body’s protests, and made her way to the ticket counter. The attendant raised an eyebrow at her.

“I’d like a ticket to New Bostin.” Seraphina spoke.

“This ain’t no joy ride, kid. No money, no ride.” The attendant prepared to brush her off, knowing a ticket to New Bostin was out of her price range. However, the attendant was shocked when she slammed down enough money on the counter.

“Is this enough?” Seraphina asked. The attendant blinked, counting the bills, before nodding, dazed. Once she received her ticket, Seraphina wasted no time going towards her designated platform. She felt like she was on never ending adrenaline.

‘If I can somehow prevent John meeting Claire, then perhaps that would fix everything! I can work on a healthier way for him to cope! I can be there for him or take him to Wellston and we could meet Rei—’ so many possibilities swarmed her mind, and Seraphina boarded the train, unable to sleep. All she could think about was helping John—saving him from himself before he endured so much hurt from Claire’s betrayal and horror from being forced to relive his memories from Keon.

‘I will do for him what he did for me, but this time, I won’t wear a mask. It will be me at his side.’ Seraphina vowed.

She didn’t sleep a wink, too haunted by memories of John.

---------------------

John glared up at assailants. It was like this every day of his life and starting at New Bostin Middle School was no different it seemed.

What he wouldn’t give for an ability! He’d show these scumbags what it means to be afraid…

“What’s with the face, Cripple John?” his main assailant smirked maliciously.

“I think he’s bitter he’s a cripple.” Another bully voiced out. The three of them smirked mockingly at John, who stayed in his place against the wall, on the ground.

“Awww, is that it, Cripple John? You want an ability?” the leader cooed sickeningly sweet. His hand glowed, his grin manic. “I’ll show you a real ability.”

John readied himself, but the blow never came, for the next second, a magenta haired girl appeared out of nowhere and high kicked the leader straight in the head. He fell to the ground unconscious.

“What the hell—” his two lackeys shouted before the girl swiftly punched them both in the face, knocking them out cold.

John blinked.

‘What?’

He stared at the girl who had magenta hair in a high ponytail and bright cerulean eyes. She was breathing hard, appearing as if she was in pain.

They locked eyes. Cerulean met gold.

“Hi.” She said coolly. Then promptly passed out.

John stared.                                                          

“What… what just happened?”

---------------------------------

Seraphina arrived in New Bostin by morning, and set her sights on New Bostin Middle School. Hopefully she wasn’t too late, and Claire and John didn’t meet already. Otherwise, it would make her job at a lot harder.

‘I’ll handle it if it comes to that. First, I have to find him.’ Seraphina concluded, entering New Bostin Middle School grounds. She made sure to remain hidden to prevent a high-tier getting the surprise on her. ‘This doesn’t look as big as Wellston—come on! He should be around here!’

Finally, the sound of cruel laughter and punching reached her ears. Dread welled up in her stomach, and she immediately followed the sound. Peeking through the bushes, her heart froze at the sight.

It was John. He was younger, but she knew it was him. She’d know that mop of dark hair anywhere.

‘John… it’s really him…’ Her heart jump started, beating a mile a minute. There was her best friend. He existed in this strange world with her.

However, Seraphina took in the scene before her, frowning, realizing John was being bullied.

‘He really did have to deal with his all his life. He couldn’t escape from it. It was either be spat on or being corrupted. John can’t win no matter what role he’s in…’ Seraphina mourned, clenching her fists as the main leader readied a blast towards John.

Something clicked inside her, and without realizing it, her eyes began to glow.

‘I won’t let you be alone anymore!’ she shouted in her mind.  

Suddenly, she was there in front of John’s assailants, and she let loose on John’s main attacker before focusing on the other bullies. Before she registered what happened it was all over, and now it was just her and John.

They locked eyes, and it took everything Seraphina had not to cry.

‘It’s really you.’

What does she do now? John was right in front of her! This would be their first meeting to him. She needed something to catch his attention!

“Hi.” She said nonchalantly before all her adrenaline disappeared and her pounding headache took over.

Seraphina didn’t know what happened next because she swiftly blacked out.

Don’t Cry, Daddy

**Reposted from: @mayuarts

I know it’s been 2 days since I posted the first fic, I was quite busy yesterday so I wasn’t able to post this story. So here it is. There’s a heavy reference to Gavin’s Birthday Event on the CN server. 

Translations are by @cheri-translates Alina belongs to @myubunziii Characters of MLQC belongs to Elex.

Genre: Fluff, Angst

SPOILERS FROM THE CN SERVER!!

~~~~~~

[12 Noon, Bai Residence]

Alina and Aiyana were finishing up with their chores. Alina wiped a sweat with her sleeve as she looked at her sister, “Aiyana, wanna go for a walk? Maybe we can look for gifts for dad on our way?” 

The younger brunette looked at her sister, “Sure. But where do you wanna go?” 

“Hmm… Well, let’s just go out and see where we end up. If we get lost, we can ask uncle Shaw or uncle Minor to pick us up.” Alina said with a cheeky smile. Sucks that the two sisters had no sense of direction, much to Gavin’s worries.

Aiyana nodded and agreement. The two freshen themselves and got ready to leave. They went to the kitchen to see their mom still cleaning the dishes. The older sibling got her attention, 

“Oh? Where are you both going? Are you done with your chores? Your assignments?” 

The sisters had a smile on their faces, “We completed everything. We don’t have anything to do so… Can we go take a walk? Maybe look for gifts for dad or buy groceries for you?” Aiyana said. 

Youran pondered and nodded. She took out some cash from her wallet she had placed nearby and handed it to Alina, “Here’s some extra cash for the two of you. It should be enough for the gifts and the groceries. I’ll text you the items I need, okay?”

They nodded and left. Of course, with Youran telling them not to get lost and to return home too late. 

[Outside] 

The sisters were strolling at the city with no particular destination to go. Then an idea popped in Alina’s mind, “Aiyana, can you use your evol to travel to a different dimension or go back to the past?” 

Aiyana looked at her sister in confusion, “I can, but why so sudden?” 

Alina smiled lightheartedly, “Dad never tells us about his childhood. So I wanna know what he’s like back then. Aren’t you curious about it too?” 

The younger one nodded but she had a skeptical look on her face. She can create Ice Mirror to teleport herself from place to place as well as going to the outer dimension where her mother controls her evol to go to different time space or alternate universes. 

Being the daughter of the Queen, she was able to travel to that dimension to go to any timelines by her own will. But there are risks; her mother may be able to find out and her father would be worried sick as he won’t be able to detect the sisters.

Her curiosity matches her sister and decided to take the risk. The two went to an alleyway so Aiyana could create an Ice Mirror to travel to the outer dimension.

“Here goes nothing….” Aiyana grabbed her sister’s hand tightly and the two entered the mirror. 

[At the outer dimension] 

As they appeared at the dimension full of doors, they looked around in confusion. They walked around the dimension and finally spotted a bright door under a beautiful ginkgo tree. 

The two nodded to each other and entered the door with no hesitation. Bright light engulfs them as they walked into the door. 

They arrived at a similar alley where they had left their time line, unlike the sunny weather at their place, it was raining. They looked around and walked out the alley hand in hand. Then they heard children fighting, 

“Hey! What are you doing?” A boy who’s bigger sized than a familiar brown haired boy. The larger boy pressed down the smaller one onto the ground.

The sisters were about to intervene but the brown haired boy managed to escape by rolling on the ground. He took a few steps back and stares at the bullies coldly.

“You!” The larger boy was about to raise a hand to the latter. Before he could land a hand on him, his partner stopped him,

“Wait… wait wait! Brother Qian, this guy seems to be Gavin…”

Just as the person called “Brother Qian”, his facial expression changed in an instant. The girls’ expression changed as well. They looked at the brown haired boy in shock, 

‘That’s…. Dad..?’ They thought.

“He’s the one who beat up dozens of people! He’s incredibly strong - a monster no one can stop!” The small gangster said. 

The unpleasant title made Little Gavin’s brows furrow, “What did you say?” 

The gangsters backed away, “I… I have some urgent things to settle, so I’ll let you off! T-there won’t be a next time!” 

Reluctant to admit their mistake, the domineering kids run away in a hurry. Gavin looks at the escaping children and lets out a small “tch”. Picking up the game console they leave behind in their haste, he stuffs it into the little boy’s hand.

“Hey, this is for you.” 

The sisters watched their little dad defending the crying boy. “Dad… He’s like that since he was a child…” Aiyana mumbled. Alina nodded in agreement. They never expected their stern father to be like this as a young child. 

They only remembered their uncle Shaw telling them that their dad was a happy and active boy who loves basketball.

Just as Little Gavin was about to leave, he folds his umbrella and places it besides the wailing boy. He wanted to leave but he couldn’t help but wonder where the sheer volume of tears even came from, and how he can howl so loudly.

After a moment of hesitation, he tries to comfort the boy,

“They’re gone now. You should go home soon.”

The girls pondered if they should approach them. Just as they were about to, an auntie comes over in the middle of her run after hearing the crying sounds, 

“Little dear, what’s the matter with you? Which family do you belong to?” She then looks at Little Gavin, “Oh, aren’t you the one who beat up a kids last time? Why are you bullying people again?” She pulled the boy behind her. 

Gavin looks at her, baffled. The girls decided that they should intervene now. 

“Excuse me, we saw the ruckus. Gavin did nothing wrong. He protected this boy from the bullies.” Alina explained, both she and her sister stood in front of Little Gavin protectively. 

Little Gavin looks up at them with shining amber eyes. The auntie had a skeptical look and questioned them again, 

“Then why didn’t you stop them?” 

Aiyana spoke up with a neutral tone,  “We arrived when Gavin had chased them away. But we did manage to see who the bullies were.” 

More and more adults came over. The father of the crying boy came over and holds him in his arms. The auntie, doubting the sisters’ words, self-righteously told the child’s father, “This bad kid beat someone up again!” 

She had a finger pointed to Gavin. 

“I did not.” Gavin said in a low voice.

The man had a slightly unhappy expression on his face. He picks up his son and looks at Gavin persuasively, “Just apologise, and turn over a new leaf. You’re still young, so it’s okay if you make mistakes. The important thing is to admit your wrongs and change.” 

The girls had a matching grim look as Gavin’s. Aiyana spoke up, holding Gavin’s smaller hand in hers tightly, “Gavin did not bully your son.” 

A busybody in the crowd pipes up, “It’s because his father is busy at work, and is away most of the year.” 

The girls’ eyes widened in shock. They were referring to their bad grandfather. Aiyana could feel Gavin froze on the spot.

Then another party continues coldly, “It’s understandable if your mother can’t teach you well since she’s alone. Because of you, my children were…” 

“You’re not allowed to say that!” 

Red-faced, Gavin clenches his fist, and even his body starts trembling slightly. The sisters could feel the pain and sadness of their father’s young self.

“I did not beat anyone! I didn’t do anything wrong. Someone was bullying him, and those people ran away! Even these sisters saw them escape!” 

The stranger didn’t expect such a fierce reaction from Gavin. While he originally wanted to share more preachy advice, he meets Gavin’s dark eyes, which are now lit with anger.

He’s left stunned, the words he prepared lodged in his throat, not knowing why he feels sudden guilt. In the end, he says a few more words and left.

The rain continues to patter.

The people who gathered gradually leave, and only Little Gavin and the sisters were drenched in the rain, along with a red umbrella beside.

Alina crouched down to his height and patted his head, “Don’t worry Gavin, we saw everything. We trust you. You did what you need to do.” 

‘Just like your future self….’ 

Little Gavin looked up to her matching amber eyes. A warm smile plastered on the sisters’ face. Aiyana picked up the umbrella and handed it to him, “Let’s go find a shelter. We’ll treat your injuries and buy you a drink.” 

“But… I don’t know who you are…” 

“I’m Aiyana, this is my big sister, Alina.” The younger brunette introduced herself and her sister to him. Gaining his trust, the sisters’ held his small hands and they walked to what seems to be New Light Mall.

They sat a bench provided. Alina was about to head to a nearby pharmacy when Gavin stopped her. He had band-aids and cotton swabs in his school bag. The girl nodded and retrieves them. She cleaned his wounds carefully and skillfully. 

Little Gavin watched her patch him up. Her warm amber eyes resembling his and his mother’s. A smile on her face made him calm. The warm hand belonging to Aiyana was comforting. 

He recalled that he hadn’t brought in the sheets that he helped his mother washed a few days ago. He felt guilty that he only added more work for his mother. He then felt hot tears fill his eyes and his vision starts to blur. 

Aiyana noticed the tears in his eyes and patted his head gently. He looked up to her with glistening eyes. The girl felt more pain in her chest. She then brought him into her arms, 

“Don’t cry, Gavin. It will be okay.” 

Alina joined in the embrace. But a thought runs through their minds,

‘Don’t cry, Daddy. We’re here for you.’ 

A voice then called out to him, Gavin looked up and saw his mother. She was slightly breathless when she appears before the trio. Perhaps she had been running.

“Mom, I…”

Before he could finish, Wardia brought him into a tight hug. A tender touch descends on his head, which is damp from the rain. 

“Mom knows that Gavin didn’t do anything wrong.” She says confidently.

She then rubs his head gently, her tone filled with resoluteness and love, “Everything has been clarified. The boy you helped explained everything to us after he calmed down. His father also wants to convey an apology to you. They were too anxious, and misunderstood you.” 

The girls watched the mother and son. They couldn’t get their eyes off their grandmother. The beautiful woman that they never got to meet. They only had seen pictures of her that both their father and uncle showed them. No wonder their father and uncle are so good looking.

Wardia stood up with Gavin behind her. She looked at the sisters with warm eyes. Those eyes. That smile. It reminds them so much of their father. Oh how much they yearn for his presence at home. 

Gavin was always away. They mostly had their uncle Shaw to look up to as a father figure. Even in their teenage years, they felt that it is a must for them to always spend every single second with their father. In fear that he may not return home.

The woman then spoke to them, “Come. You both are soaked. You’ll get sick.” 

[time skip, Bai Residence]

The girls recognised the mansion. It is their home. The home where their parents raised them. The home filled with love and peace. But…

This home only contained mother’s love. No presence of father’s love at all.

Now they understood why Gavin always went all out by spoiling them, carrying them in his arms, even modifying their hairpins with GPS. He wanted them to know how much he cherishes them. Just as much as their mother does. 

With that thought, they realised that the words they told their mother when he was away for almost a year had hurt his feelings until now.

Back then, he had a heavy mission which also required Shaw to join him as well. They waited by the door every night. Waiting for him to return home. It took them about 2 months to realise that daddy won’t be coming home soon. They felt lonely. They felt that daddy had betrayed them. They felt that daddy had probably died in battle.

They cried in their mother’s arms, craving for their father’s presence. 

Youran could only cry to herself after they had fallen asleep.

Just as Little Gavin had gone to his room to change, Wardia called them to sit with her. They obliged,

“How did you come here?” 

The girls froze. Aiyana couldn’t help but to spill the beans. She explained about her evol and why they came.

“I knew that you both weren’t just some strangers.” Wardia said with a warm smile. She brought the girls into her arms,

“I never thought I’d actually meet my granddaughters. But your eyes, your personalities, resemble my Gavin so much. I knew it when I laid my eyes on both of you. In fact, I felt immense love for you. I can see how much you care for your father.

I may no longer be around in your time, but remember. No matter how strong and powerful your father is, he has his own weaknesses. With you both coming here suddenly, he may not be able to detect you. Trust me, by the time you step into your time, he’ll probably get mad and cry in fear.” 

The sisters looked up at her in shock. They were speechless. Seeing their shocked expression, Wardia chuckled, “It’s a mother’s intuition. You’ll understand when you’re older.”

The woman brought them to a guest room. They knew they needed to return home. Before Aiyana opened the portal with her Ice Mirror, she and Alina jumped into Wardia’s arms. They had tears in their eyes, knowing that this would be the first and the last they get to see their grandmother. 

“Thank you, grandma. We love you. Thank you for bringing our dad into this world.” 

Alina looked up to the woman, “Tell him that we said Happy Birthday.”

Wardia chuckled and nodded. She planted a kiss on their cheeks and gave them a last warm hug. 

Aiyana then opened the portal with her ice mirror and the two waved their grandmother good bye. They left with happiness in their heart.

After the girls left, Wardia had a worried smile, “I hope Big Gavin doesn’t get angry at them.” She then left the room and saw Little Gavin looking around the house for the girls.

“Mom, where’s Alina and Aiyana? Did they go home already?” 

Wardia patted his head gently, “Yes. Their parents had called them to return home.” 

“Will I get to see them again?” The boy asked with his head tilted slightly. 

“You will. Soon”

‘In the future.’

[Present Time]

The sisters arrived at the same alleyway they had left earlier. They thought it had taken a long time but Aiyana checked her phone that it was only 5 pm. She then received a message from her mother. It was the list of supplies. 

And…

Tons of messages from her father and uncles. 

Alina had lots of missed calls from them as well. Their face went pale and they decided to rush home. They’re gonna get grounded for sure…

Just as they had arrive home, the same mansion they had went to, they saw their father sitting on the couch with his hands covering his face. They could feel the atmosphere thickened. This is definitely not going great.

They walked towards him from behind. They slowly placed a hand on his shoulders. Gavin turned to look behind him and saw his daughters. He stood up to his full height, making them cower in fear. 

Just like their grandmother had said earlier, Gavin brought them into his arms. They felt his tears falling on their shoulders,

“Where were you? We looked all over for you. You both suddenly disappeared like that.” Gavin continue rambling out his worries. 

The girls pulled away slightly and saw the same teary amber eyes they had seen earlier. They felt guilty and wrapped their arms around his waist, 

“We’re sorry… We didn’t mean to.. Don’t Cry, Daddy… We came back safely.” 

 Youran spotted two smaller figures in Gavin’s arms. She rushed to them and pulled them into her arms as well. She started nagging at them for suddenly disappearing out of nowhere and that they had to face their worried uncles as well.

[Dinner] 

After getting an earful of nags by their parents, they freshen themselves once again. With fresh clothes on them, they took out their handmade present they had prepared for their father together. They walked out of their shared room silently and went to the dining room.

They saw their uncle Shaw and his family along with uncle Kiro. 

[Time skip, cuz this is getting waaaaayyy too long] 

Again, they got an earful of nags by their uncles as well. They apologised over and over again. They even admitted that they went back to their father’s childhood days. 

“How did you both get there?” Gavin asked. 

Aiyana explained about her ability to travel to different dimensions and timelines with her evol by using her Ice Mirror. Gavin was aware that her Ice Mirror are some sort of stealth ability for her to escape. He never knew she could do that. But at the mention of being able to meet his mother, Gavin felt warmth in his heart.

He missed his mother. But knowing that his daughters sneakily managed to enter his past out of curiosity, he felt slightly relieved. Knowing that their intention was to know more of his childhood and his mother,

‘I guess.. That can be forgiven…’ he thought.

After Shaw and Kiro left, the girls went to their father’s side. Alina took out the present she and her sister made for him.

Gavin received a simple hand written letter by them. It was short, but it contained deep feelings. Until he read,

‘We’re sorry for making you worry. We’re sorry for being the reason of your tears. Don’t Cry, Daddy. We’re here for you. We love you so much. 

Happy Birthday, Daddy. 

Thank you for being the best father to us.’

Gavin looked down to his sides and saw his daughters had passed out. The time travel may have had taken a toll on them. He smiled at their sleeping state and brushed their soft hair gently.

“Thank you, dears. Dad loves you too.” He whispered.

‘Thank you, mom…’  

~~~~~~

GOSH THIS TOOK ME 3 HOURS TO FINISH!!! 

Sorry if there’s not much interaction of Gavin and Youran (MC). This is more focused on the two smart kids and their one and only hero, Gavin. I cried at certain parts tbh, but anyway, I hope you enjoy this fluffy-angsty fic.

abandoned fic: Caleb the Time Traveler

I’m not ever going to finish this fic (rest in peace Molly) but I like what I have, so I thought I’d share it with you all. The plan was for it to be an eventual Widomauk piece, but I’m just not inspired to write Widomauk anymore, given that Molly is dead and has been for 2 years now.

In the end, it was all frighteningly simple, really.

Killing Trent had been easy. Most things were for a high powered wizard, which Caleb was at this point in his life. And while disintegration was too quick and too kind of a death for a man who had caused as much pain at Trenk Ikithon had, Caleb didn’t dare try to take any chances.

He would have thought there would be more to it. Maybe the gods themselves would intervene and stop him, or maybe someone else, a mysterious figure from an even worse timeline would try to stop him, but no. One quick spell, and Caleb had altered the timeline for the better.

He sat on his hands for a while after that, not quite sure what to do now that Trent no longer existed and could be the focus of all evil in both the world and in Caleb’s mind. But there was still corruption in the Empire, and there was still darkness, even at the Soltryce Academy. 

So he rolled up his sleeves, and he got to work.

Little by little, he changed the world. By the time a young Bren enrolled at the Academy, it was a legitimate school for magic learners, and the Empire was a brighter, better place. There was an Empress now instead, a distant cousin of King Bertrand, and while she made mistakes occasionally, she had a good heart--of that Caleb was deadly certain. 

After that, he got more selfish in his pursuits. Traveling back to this time had been a one-time deal: he would never go back to his own timeline. Theoretically, such a timeline no longer existed. He would never see his friends again.

Therefore, he did what he could to make their lives better in this timeline.

Bren was taken care of: Bren would have parents and a girlfriend and a boyfriend and hopefully never be any more ambitious than teaching at the Academy for the rest of his days. Honestly, Caleb could hope for nothing more for his younger, alternate self. 

But the rest of the Mighty Nein? He did what he could, for them and their happiness.

He couldn’t stop Fjord from being bullied or from being an orphan, but he could modify Vandren’s memory and make him think he was Fjord’s biological father. It was a lie, but a small one, and it ultimately made both men’s lives better. In Caleb’s world, that was a lie worth telling, a spell worth casting. From there, it took only the wise words of a “friend” to encourage Vandren to give up on the orbs for Ukatoa, and to take an interest in his young son instead. A gentle nudge, a small trade of coin, and the Tide’s Breath would find it’s port in Nicodronas instead of Port Damali instead. Another nudge, another slight but gentle push, and a young Fjord would find himself drawn into long midnight conversations with the mysterious Sapphire of the Sea, standing beneath the window to the Lavish Chateau one evening when he could not sleep, and neither could she. They would become fast friends, and while Caleb could not fix all the world’s problems, he could make sure that two of his friends were no longer lonely. 

He could only help Jester so much: he respected Marion too much to modify her memories, and no silver tongue could convince the woman to let her daughter have just a bit more freedom. So he sent Fjord her way instead, and before that, when she was younger, Caleb would visit her, often, under the guise of night and with a heavy cloak of magic. It was a small thing, keeping a young girl company, and he liked the tricks and jokes she learned to play from him. If she happened to call him the Traveler--well, that was her name for him, not his. As far as the actual Traveler was concerned, he must have found it amusing, because Jester still became a cleric in the end. When she ran away from Nicodronas, Fjord’s father offered her a job on his ship, and she learned all she needed to from a Tortle named Orly. 

Beauregard was a trickier friend to help: he could not make her parents into better people, nor could he ever guarantee that they would love her the way she deserved. So instead he kidnapped her as a baby, and left her with his own parents instead. A rational decision that took little convincing, in his mind. It was surprisingly easy, no more difficult that killing Trent, and Beau would be happier for it. His parents were loving and kind and had always wanted another child, although they had never been able to afford one. They were surprised to find the infant girl and the sack of gold on their front steps, but they loved her nonetheless. And Bren could do with a sister: lord knows it had helped Caleb, in time. The only oddity was when he stopped by occasionally to check in, and heard Beau’s rough voice grow up with a Zemnian accent. 

He fixed other things, too. When Caduceus Clay was eleven, making mud pies in the backyard with his sisters, his parents received a letter telling them exactly what was causing the corruption in their woods, and how to fix it. When the goblins attacked Felderwyn, Veth and Yeza Brenatto were on their honeymoon in Whitestone, an unexpected gift they hadn’t planned on that they had received anonymously in the mail. When Yasha and Zuela ran away to be together, they found they suddenly had the money and transportation and paperwork to make it to the Empire together, far from the consequences of their clan.

Caleb was, at last, at peace. The world would be well. 

He “retired” after that, finding his way back to the Academy in a nice, quiet teaching position, content to live out the rest of his days as a silent guardian of Exandria. It was lonely at times--there was no one he could ever tell his story to, and no one would ever believe him. 

He had forgotten nothing, left no stone unturned, had fixed every problem he could think of. His world was, for once, finally perfect.

Which was why the purple tiefling in front of him startled him so.

“Mollymauk,” he said out loud, on reflex, although the man before him wasn’t Molly, and wouldn’t be for another few years, at least. He was young, tall and lanky, no older than 20, if he was even that old. The man’s hair was shorter, shaved down so that only the barest bit of black fuzz showed, and there was nothing ornate about him: there was no jewelry in his horns, and the clothes he wore were plain and simple and dark. There were no bright tattoos to catch his eye and no flashy tricks or smiles, and yet there was no mistaking it: the man before him was Mollymauk Tealeaf, or would be, one day.

He seemed impossibly young, full of energy, and just looking at him made Caleb feel like an ancient dragon, staring at an impossible, unearned hoard.

(He had forgotten Molly. How could he have forgotten Molly? He had killed Lorenzo and the Iron Sheppards when they were so young and yet he never once thought to check in on Mollymauk. But Mollymauk didn’t exist in this timeline yet, did he? He would be Lucien now, and Caleb had no idea how to find Lucien--except that he was here, now, in front of him. And in his timeline, the one he came from, Molly had been dead for five years, and yet the universe saw fit to send this other Molly his direction anyway.)

“Er, no?” The voice was mostly the same, but different--a different accent, at least, as far as Caleb could tell from what little he’d said.  “Sorry?”

“My apologies,” Caleb said quietly. “You--ah, you reminded me of someone. My mistake.”

Shorter hair, no tattoos, darker clothes--but still fundamentally Molly. The same eyes, the same horns, the same crooked grin--that’s what really sealed it for him. “A good someone?” The non-Molly asked, sharp teeth pointed out of his smile. 

“An old friend,” Caleb answered honestly. “A dead one.”

The not-Molly cocked an eyebrow at that, but didn’t question him further. “Perhaps it’s fortune, then. I’ve been meaning to speak with you, Master Widogast.”

That was interesting. “Oh?”

“I’m told you are the brightest wizard the Empire has to offer,” The not-Molly was certainly charming, he’d give him that, although his voice had more of a Krynn inflection than what Caleb remembered-- “My name is Essek Thelyss--”

“It is not.” Caleb stopped him, not letting the not-Molly speak.

The not-Molly, not-Essek didn’t move, but he didn’t stop smiling either, as if he was used to being caught in a fib and knew how to get out of it. “Oh? What’s my name then?”

“I do not know, but I have met Essek Thelyss, and you are not him,” 

Again, the not-Molly didn’t seem stirred. “How do you know I’m not Essek Thelyss, and whoever you met just happened to steal my name?”

He didn’t have a good or clever response to that. “Something tells me that’s not the case, however,”

The not-Molly’s eyes sparkled as he talked. “Then what’s my name?”

“Lucien,” He took a stab in the dark, the name of Molly’s past life, and that got him a hearty laugh.

“I’m afraid that’s not my name, either, darling, but I do like it more than Essek. Easier to spell. I think I’ll keep it.” He grinned, and held out his hand for Caleb to shake. “Call me Lucien.”

“Mr. Lucien,” Old habits died hard, it seemed; Caleb shut his book, finally. “How might I help you?”

“I’m in need of a wizard of a particular caliber of skill, and I’m told you are the best the Academy has to offer. Unparalleled in his field, they told me.”

“It won’t work,” Caleb brushed him off.

“I haven’t even told you my plan yet!”

“You don’t have to. I know it ends with you in an early grave,” Caleb shook his head. “You are no wizard, Mr. Lucien, and I doubt you have the temperament to start now. Whatever you are trying to do, you’d be better off if you stopped it now.”

“You must help me,” Lucien pleaded, his voice desperate. “If you don’t, I--I know your secret,”

“I rather doubt that.”

“You’re a time traveler, from the future.” That stopped Caleb dead in his tracks. “That, or you are the most convincing seer I’ve ever met.”

It was dead silent for a moment as Caleb’s thoughts raced through his head. How? How did he know? How was it even possible that this not-Molly would have even the slightest idea of who he was?

“Holy shit, I’m right?” Lucien laughed, louder than Caleb thought he might’ve intended. “You are a time traveler. I was just guessing, but I’m right, aren’t I?” He cackled. “Luxon above, you’re from the goddamn future. It’s why you recognized me. You called me--Molly? Mollymauk? Not the best name I’ve ever used for a con but honestly not the worst either. It’s growing on me, actually. Tell me, was I still handsome in the future? It’s a very important question--”

The hold person spell was up before Caleb even though to cast it. “Shut. Up.” A moment, then two, the not-Molly’s face frozen in time as Caleb struggled to catch his breath.

He took that moment, and then he released the spell. He expected another barrage of inane questions, but the not-Molly was silent, waiting expectantly.

“How did you know?”

Not-Molly smiled, not unkindly. “Essek Thelyss is a not even a hundred years old in the Krynn Dynasty. He’s a smart but reclusive boy, doesn’t have a lot of friends and most people wouldn’t know him because he keeps to himself. His mother is currently grooming him to be the next shadowhand, a fact that is not known to many. For you to know him well enough to recognize on sight that I’m not him? He must have an impressive future indeed.”

“What’s your name, really?”

Not-Molly didn’t want to answer that one. “Some call me the Nonagan. That will suffice.” 

“That’s not an answer.”

“It’s the only one I have for you.”

“Hmm,” Caleb sat back down at his desk, trying to appear calmer than he felt. “So what if I am from the future? I won’t help you. I already told you that your plan doesn’t work--it ends with you in a grave.”

“Well, Mr. Caleb--can I call you Mr. Caleb? Master Widogast seems so terribly formal--”

“No,”

“-- from what it sounds like, it sounds like my plan works perfectly.”  The Nonagan batted his eyelashes. “You see, my plan is to die. Permanently.”

“What are you on about, exactly?”

“I am over a thousand years of the Krynn Dynasty’s attempts at perfect consecutation.  I am a Beacon made flesh. I am the Luxon’s divine light, and the closest thing this world has ever seen to genuine immortality. I cannot die.” He paused. “Well, I can, I suppose, as any creature made flesh can die. But I always come back,” he rolled up his sleeves, and showed Caleb a tattoo of a red eye on his wrist. “It takes a while. And I don’t remember anything at first. But with enough time, the memories come back. And I would, with your help, like them to stop, if you please.”

8. Hiya! Thank you to all mods and also helpers for being so amazing!

I'm in the mood for fics that centre on that thing that happens to some really strict parents when the grandkids come along - they get super-relaxed and indulgent.

Could you please rec some fic (canon-era/modern AU/etc.) where LQR is just the world's most doting great-uncle/grandfatherly type for any of the incoming generation (the Junior Quartet, any OCs). Bonus if LXC and LWJ are just so, so confused. Many thanks in advance! @katonahottinroof

It's implied they died on a night hunt, but how? And what if that wasn't actually true? What if they were murdered by wen ruohan or others? What if they fell prey to an array and got transported far away, but lived to return with a few younger siblings in tow? What if they were taken prisoner and found later? Or had amnesia? Etc.

Links Last Checked: April 14th, 2022

part one

And So It Shall Be - phansomedevil

Summary: (tw) “Do you believe in soulmates?” All lives are stories, and in every possible way, in every possible time, Dan and Phil find each other.

Baby I’m Howell-in’ For You - itsmyusualphannie

Summary: slapping your past self as soon as you see them probably isn’t the best first impression. does meeting yourself even count as a first impression, though?

Constant Future Memories (ao3) - kishere

Summary: prompt: time travel fic, either dan and phil time travel from current year to 2009/2012, or vise versa, introspection would be nice of how much they've changed.

For Future Reference, See a Psychic (ao3) - Autumn_Kismet

Summary: Phil is, for the most part, a good kid. He’s not opposed to being himself, he’s happy with who he is, and for the most part, he’s not even spiteful toward his tormentors. Dan, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. He’s a bully, he hates himself, and he’s scared of who he really is. It’s safe to say that Dan and Phil do not get along. Phil looks forward to the day when he never has to see Dan’s face again - until Mr Wilder, a weird old ‘psychic’ with strange, powerful gifts shows him that that day will never come, that Dan and Phil are destined to be together for the rest of their lives, no matter how much they hate each other.

Heart Frozen in Time (ao3) - the_unwritten_ruler

Summary: When Dan and Phil are stranded in a mountain cave during a snowstorm, their relationship becomes as cold and fragile as the ice itself. Mystical images on the cave wall show a sad event in their future, and Phil only has a few hours at most to review the past, find where and how it went wrong, and set it right before he loses Dan forever.

#ifiwasinatimeloop (ao3) - nekoma

It Only Goes Up From Here (ao3) - thesassykels66

Summary: If given the chance, it's easy to say that anyone would travel back in time to talk to their younger selves, especially in a hard time. But when that happens to Dan, he doesn't notice right away, but he knows that it's the only way that he'll truly get better when shown the life he can have.

Or in short, future Dan speaks to 2013 Dan about his depression in a surreptitious way on how he will get better.

i’ve seen tomorrow (i’ve seen yesterday) - itsmyusualphannie

Summary: future time travel au in which dan and Phil’s jobs are to fix fractures in the timeline. this particular mission will take them back to 2019, but how well will they work together when they’ve just had a fight?

Love Me With Time (ao3) - ColorMeHazelnut

Now Onto The Future (ao3) - kae_karo

Summary: It’s become something of a game, Dan and Phil chasing each other through time.

Summary: In a universe where soulmates travel forward in time once in their lifetime to be with their bonded and solidify their relationship, 23-year-old Phil jumps forward to 2019.

[katlyn1948]

Unsteady

So, this is my fic I have been working on. I want to put a warning before anyone reads this...there are things in this fic that could trigger some people. It deals with infertility and miscarriages and the last thing I want to do is cause someone any pain if they’ve experienced this. I wrote this fic, because a friend of mine recently suffered a miscarriage and I received news about my personal self in terms of infertility. I’ve spoken to several people on here, whom I’m close with about my issues, but this past week my doctor told me that I will most likely need a hysterectomy within a few years. I’m only in my early 20′s and that was some devastating news. I don’t want to have children right now, but that doesn’t mean that when I reached my 30′s that I wouldn’t want any. My doctor basically told me that if I want children, I should do it soon. Unfortunately, I am not mentally nor financially capable of having a child right now. I still haven’t accepted this news and I have been in just a really bad funk about it. I’ve cried a lot and even joined a support group. My mom suggested that I do therapy, and she may be right. But I am not striking out yet. I have several other doctor’s appointment’s lined up to get second, third, forth opinions and I am freezing my eggs (which is harder than it sounds), just in case. 

Anyway, please read this with caution and have some tissues, because I even cried while writing it. 

The Stark sigil was present beyond the horizon. Grey flags whipped through the air as the small traveling party galloped their way up the dirt road. It was a larger party then Arya had expected, but compared to her sister’s definition of ‘large,’ it could have consisted of more than just what she traveled with.

Arya watched from the watch tower as she saw her sister’s convoy crest over the hill. A smile creeped onto her face as she darted towards the steps, taking two at time, until she reached the gates of the castle. It had been nearly five years since she last saw her sister, and the growing anticipation at seeing her once more made her giddy with unexpected happiness.

“Open the gates,” she said to a nearby guard.

He nodded swiftly and pulled a lever to the side of him, lifting the iron gates just in time to greet the Northern Queen.

Queen Sansa Stark of The North had not changed a single thing about her appearance in the nearly five years it been that Arya has seen her. Her read hair still cascaded down her back in fiery waves, with the wolf crown placed perfectly atop her head. Her usual northern garb had been discarded the moment her ship docked in King’s Landing; her furs just too heavy for the warm climate.

Arya marveled at her sister’s poise as she rode into the castle square, her envoy trailing behind. She was rather surprised to see her sister riding in on top of a horse, rather than being pulled behind one.

Her sister rode in with ease and stopped the horse just shy of where Arya was standing. She swung her leg over her mare and planted her feet firmly on the muddied ground.

Arya watched as her sister stood with grace, never faulting her perfectly placed crown as she dismounted her steed.

“Welcome, Sansa, Queen in the North.” Arya said with a smirk as she bowed to her sister. She slowly rose and saw the distasteful scowl on her sister’s face.

“You really didn’t have to do that.” she huffed.

Arya smiled and could no longer contain the laugh she had tried to suppress, “Now you know how it feels…your grace.”

Sansa shook her head and immediately embraced her sister.

Arya took a deep breath, basking in the smell of the north that lingered on Sansa’s locks. It smelled of burning wood and winter air. It had been so long since she had seen Winterfell’s walls and felt the cold snow beneath her feet, that familiar smells and feel of her sister’s warmth swelled her aching heart.

“I’ve missed you!” Sansa whispered into Arya’s hair.

Arya nodded, “And I’ve missed you.”

The two sisters remained in embrace for several beats longer until they had to pull apart before someone came to do so.

“Come, let me show you to your chambers.” Arya hooked her arm with her sister’s and began trailing her towards the grand castle perched on a seaside cliff.

They walked in tandem; slowly, at first, to allow Sansa to greet the working folk in the courtyards. People seemed to marvel at her beauty; completely mesmerized by the ‘Red Wolf’ of the north. Arya could no help but feel some residual jealousy, for she was sure that her people never looked at her that way. The names and taunts from their younger years had re-surfaced and Arya could not help but think that she was nothing more than a horseface.

This prompted Arya to quicken their stride. She wanted to get out of the gaze of others and enjoy her sister all to herself; pushing her ill thoughts aside.

Arya guided her sister to a set of chambers on the far side of the castle, away from where her and Gendry stayed in the drum tower along the cliff. She loved her sister, but she still wanted her privacy with her husband. The last thing that she needed was her sister to hear her pleasurable cries echo through the halls; she already had enough complaints from the maester whose chambers were situated right below theirs.

The chambers had been unused for decades, according to the chambermaid that had lived in the castle since before King Robert was born.

When Gendry inherited Storm’s End, he decided to change that, using them to house several children orphaned by the sack of King’s Landing. It wasn’t until Arya arrived from her travels that they decided to build a shelter, allowing more children to have a roof over their heads and food in their bellies.

“I hope this is to your liking.” Arya gestured around the room, allowing Sansa to take in the large chambers.

“I think it will do nicely,” She plopped down on the freshly made feather bed, groaning as she stretched her aching limbs.

“So, where are your chambers?” Sansa asked as she sank further into the bed.

Arya scoffed, “On the other side of the castle. I need some space from you.”

“That’s not why. I’ve heard the rumors of about the stag Storm Lord making his she-wolf of a wife howl at night.” She smirked.

Arya’s eyes widened and she swore that if she had taken a sip of water, that she would have spat it back out with sheer shock.

A cackle passed through Sansa’s lips as she looked at Arya’s face, “Oh, don’t look too surprised! I mean, I’ve seen Gendry and I can only imagine what he hides under those breeches of his.”  

Arya’s cheeks flushed. She had never engaged in a conversation quite like the one she was in now with Sansa.

When she left nearly five years ago on her journey west, Sansa was becoming queen of the north; too high and mighty to talk about anything vulgar.

“Sansa, I don’t think tha-”

“What? That we should not be talking about it? Why not? Because it’s not queen like? Well, I have some news for you, little sister, things have changed in the five years since you’ve seen me. A lot of things.” She shifted in the bed to prop herself up on her elbows so that she could see Arya’s face more clearly.

“Tell me. What has changed.” Arya asked as she fiddled with the hilt on her sword.

Sansa shrugged, “Not important. Besides, I want to know what you’ve been up to these last five years.”

“You’re deflecting.” Arya moved to where her sister was laying on the feather bed and joined her, sitting on the edge.

“No, I’m asking how you’ve been. Aside from the one or two letters I get a year, I have no idea what you have been up to. The first two years you were away, I got but one raven. Then out of the clear blue, another raven telling me you are in Storm’s End, married to Lord Baratheon! I didn’t even know you knew the man, let alone enough to marry him! And to make matters worse, you were very short in your letters. No more than a few words.” Sansa took a breath before continuing, “I want answers.”

Arya sighed. She had expected Sansa too corner her, but she hadn’t thought it would be so soon. Perhaps they would have supper, a few goblets of wine, then discuss everything she had left out of her letters.

It wasn’t easy telling Sansa that she was married. If were up to her entirely, Sansa would have never found out…at least from her, but Gendry thought otherwise.

Secrecy was sacred to her. She enjoyed keeping things to herself, and she found that if people knew too much that they could use that information to hurt you. Her problem was that people always knew too much.

Bran knew everything, and although Sansa was leagues away, she too would find a way to have little birds’ tweet in her ear.

Arya deflated and succumbed to her sister’s persistence, “What do you want to know?”

A smile creeped onto Sansa’s face, only making Arya’s demeanor sour, “How do you know Gendry? The only thing you said in your letter was ‘don’t worry, I know him. I’ve known him for a long time.’”

“Well, it’s the truth! I have known him for a long time.”

“Okay, but how? Obviously before Winterfell, but when?”

Sansa was like a giggling child, excited with the prospect of learning something she shouldn’t. Arya contemplated on whether it was a good idea to confide in her, but suppose it was a better option than a stranger.

“I met him…the day father died. He saved me from a couple of bullies; threatened to make them sing, like he made steel sing. It was a rather stupid quip, when I think about it, but it worked. We traveled the King’s road together headed towards The Wall. I was pretending to be a boy, and he was the only one who figured out I wasn’t that. He was the only one I trusted with my identity.  I was being taken back to Jon, while he was trying to escape some gold cloaks. Obviously, we didn’t make it and ended up being taken to Harrenhal, where I was a cup bearer for Tywin Lannister. He figured I was a girl but didn’t know I was a Stark. We barely made it out alive. We had a friend with us, Hot Pie, and we walked for days before we found the brotherhood.”

“And?” Sansa persisted.

“And what?”

“How did you two get separated?”

“He wanted to stay with The Brotherhood, and I wanted to find mother and Robb. I was so angry with him for choose them over me. I wanted him to be my family. At the time, I thought that if he came back with me that we could still be friends, but Gendry was right. Mother would have never allowed it. Then the Brotherhood sold him to the red bitch, and I thought for sure that I would never see him again.” She couldn’t help the swell of tears that were forming in her eyes, “I thought he was dead. I thought everyone was dead. That’s why it took me so long to come back to Westeros the first time.”

Arya watched as Sansa absorbed the entirety of her story.

There was much that she had omitted in her original timeline to Sansa, and now that was coming to light, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Arya was never one to care what people thought of her, but her concern for judgement had crippled her ability to fully reveal the truth to Sansa. Of course, her sister knew of the House of Black and White and the faceless men, but never of her encounters before she made her trip to Bravvos.

There was a beat of silence before Sansa cleared her throat, “Well, at least the Gods were kind to bring you two back together.”

Arya scoffed, “That’s the only kind thing they’ve offered me in my 23 years of life.”

“So, where is your handsome storm lord?” Sansa asked as she lifted herself from the featherbed. “Why did he not greet me upon my arrival?”

“He is dealing with a few of our bannermen.”

“Will he be joining us for dinner?” She asked as she poured a hefty goblet of wine.

Arya had made sure to keep Sansa’s chambers stocked with it. Her time spent with Cersei had warranted a few unhealthy habits; the drinking of wine was one of them.

“Doubtful. After his meetings with any of our lords, he tends to wander to the forge to bang out his frustrations. I won’t see him until late tonight, when he comes staggering into our chambers covered it soot.”

Sansa scowled, “Well that’s unfortunate. I have some questions for the man.”

“Which I’m sure can wait until the morning.”

“Yes, yes…whatever you say.” Sansa waved her hand in dismissal as she sipped her wine. “So, tell me, how has it been being the Lady of Storm’s End?”

Arya shrugged, “It’s not all bad, if that’s what you’re wondering. I not a lady in the traditional sense of the word, but my people seem to like me.”

“See! And you thought being a lady was going to be worst thing in this world.”

“I never said that! I just said that I didn’t want to waste my time in some high tower sewing and bearing children for a husband who would not value me.” She said matter of fact.

“Which you don’t! According to Bran’s letters, you’ve quite the name for yourself here.” Another sip, “You have trained new guards, held meeting when Gendry is unavailable, I even heard that you threatened a lord of yours that questioned your ability to lead.”

All of this was true. Arya wanted to prove to the people of Storm’s End that she could lead them into a brighter future, just like Gendry had the two years she was away. There were plenty of lords that did not enjoy here welcome when she returned to Westeros the second time. Few were unsure if she would be a fit lady for a man like Gendry, but she quickly proved them wrong. Even Gendry himself had threatened to skin a few of them alive if they were to disrespect Arya anymore than what they already had.

In the three years she had been his wife and the Lady, she has managed to help the region thrive with trade and goods, even open an orphanage for children whose parents were lost in the Battle of King’s Landing. Taxes have been lowered for those living outside the castle, and even the minor threats from Dorne had ceased. And, although she was sure there were still several lords who questioned her abilities, they kept their mouths shut and let her rule.

Her life had been good here…almost.

“I know I’ve done all of those things, but sometimes I just feel…alone.” She admitted.

“You miss it, don’t you?”

Arya nodded. She missed the freedom she had when she was out on the sea. There were no rules to abide by or orders to take; it was just her, her ship, and her dedicated crew. But the overwhelming feeling of missing Gendry brought her back.

“I do miss it, but not as much as I missed Gendry when I was out at sea.” Arya smiled as she thought about her time at sea. The vast horizon with nothing by ocean ahead was an exciting feeling. There were memories that were made, most that she would cherish for the rest of her life.

“Do you know that I told him not to wait for me?”

“What? When?” Sansa perked, intrigued to hear this story.

“After the dragon pit. I went to him to apologize for leaving him the way that I did at Winterfell. He wasn’t too happy with me but forgave me. We talked about our feelings and I could no longer lie to him, so I told him the truth. Of course, that lead into other…things. While we were laying on his bed, I told him that I was leaving and that I wasn’t sure when I’d return. I told him not to wait, to have a life. To marry and to have children. I nearly broke me to say those words, but he needed to be happy without me. But he is a stubborn bull, and said he’d wait until his last days. How fucking poetic.” She couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped her lips as she reminisced about their last night together before her voyage.

“Gods! I tried everything to get his stupid blue eyes out of my head, but not even the lovers I had could remove him from my thoughts.”

Sansa’s eyes nearly bugged out of her head, “Lovers!? How many did you have? And does Gendry know?”

Arya chuckled, “I had three and yes, he knows. Just like I know about his.”

“Well, who were these lovers? Where they handsome? How did they compare to Gendry?” Sansa went on.

“Well, two were women, so I can’t really call them handsome and well the man…he was well endowed, but they never could compare to Gendry. Not once.”

Sansa’s cheeks flushed, “Women? Why, sister, you do get around.”

“Don’t judge, we are all human and we all have needs. I’ll admit, I was surprised, but it was enjoyable.”

“And Gendry didn’t mind?”

“How could he? Besides, he had lovers too. Only two of them, both women. We were both lonely and using these people to get each other out of our heads. It didn’t work and when I realized that, I decided to come home…to him.”

Arya knew that Gendry was her home, no matter where he lived or who he was. She knew that she would always come back to him, it was just a matter of when. She planned to stay out at sea much longer than her two years, but her heart would not allow it. The distance and longing were just too much for her to bear. She needed to see him, to feel him, to hear his voice in her ears. Her heart ached and she needed the pain to ease, so she sailed back to Storm’s End.

Luckily, he felt the same way.

“This is sooo romantic!” Sansa squealed, giving Arya a glimpse of her sister of the past, when all she had to worry about were the fairytale stories Old Nan used to tell.

“If you think so.” Arya laughed.

“It is! And imagine if you have children! They will love to hear the story of how their parents came back to one another.”

Arya’s heart nearly stopped, her smile falling from her face, “Right, children.”

She grabbed a goblet of wine and turned from where her sister was sitting. She quickly down the sweet liquid and filled her goblet once more.

There was shift in the atmosphere and Arya would be stupid to think that here sister wouldn’t have felt it.

“Did I saw something wrong?” Her voice was filled with concern.

“No…no, you didn’t” Arya tried to assure her sister, but her voice faltered, betraying her.

She could feel Sansa’s presence as she came up behind her, engulfing her into a hug, “What’s wrong.”

“It’s nothing, really.” She pushed her sister off and crossed the room to look out the window.

The sea wasn’t visible from Sansa’s rooms, but the training yard and the forge were. She could already hear the familiar banging of steel against steel. Gendry was no longer with the lords, but rather taking out his frustration and anger on a piece of poor steel. Arya wondered what gift she would receive next, out of this current bout of forging.

“Arya, please talk to me? You weren’t shy just moments ago. What’s wrong.” Her sister pleaded.

Arya glanced down at her hand, the forgot goblet of wine left untouched between her fingers. A tear escaped, bridging over her eyes, “I don’t think I can have children.” Her voice was no more than a whisper, filled with a familiar heart break.

There was silence in the room and Arya finally had the courage to lift her face to meet her sister’s.

“We’ve tried. I thought, perhaps that maybe when I was stabbed that it damaged my womb, but the maester assured that it was missed. Judging by my scars, my liver may have received most of the damage. He said it was miracle I lived through that, but my womb was untouched.”

“Are…are you certain?”

“Sansa, I haven’t taken my moon tea in nearly a year and a half. Gendry waited for me to be ready, and when I finally was, I stopped taking it. I never thought that I would ever want children, but as we were building the orphanage and I saw all those children running around in the softy dewy grass, I couldn’t help by wonder what our children would look like, running atop the high cliffs.” A soft sob escaped her lips as she tried to keep the overwhelming, bubbling emotions in check.

“Then you keep trying.”

“No,” Arya shook her head, “I’m done trying. I cannot handle anymore heart break.”

“That doesn’t sound like the sister I know. I’m sure that if you keep tryi-”

“I’ve already lost three!” She screamed, throwing the goblet in her hand to the ground, “I’ve lost three babes, Sansa!”

Tears were now welling in Sansa’s eyes, “Wha-”

Arya could no longer contain her sadness. Sobs racked her body as she began to lose her footing, crashing to the floor beneath her, “We-we…I-I became with child two moons after I stopped taking my moon tea and then two moons later, I awoke with excruciating pain, only to find our bed covers drenched in blood!”

Sansa was now beside her, embracing her into a fierce hug, allowing her to sob into her arms.

“Then-then we tried again. I became with child and I-I thought this one would last. I lost her five moons into the pregnancy. Then again, just a few days before your arrival…I didn’t even know I was with child. I can’t do it again! I can’t put Gendry through that again!” She sobbed.

“Oh, Arya. I’m sorry. I am so sorry. I should not have said anything. This is all my fault.”

Arya shook her head, “No, no, you didn’t know. I-” She took several deeps breathes, trying to calm her sobs. She was grateful for Sansa, that she was there. She had yet to tell Gendry of the third, and she was unsure if she should. She saw the pain in his eyes the first two time, and she could not do that to him a third time. For five days she held onto the pain of loosing yet another babe, and finally, with here sister here within her grasp, she could no longer hold any of the emotion in. “I’m glad you’re here. I’ve felt alone for several days; felt so unsteady. The pain was eating me inside, even Gendry could tell something was off.”

“Arya-”

“Is there something wrong with me?”

“No! There is nothing wrong with you! You are the strongest person I know, and I hate to see you so broken. I hadn’t realized you wanted children so badly, but you’ve changed. There is nothing that I can say that help ease your pain, little sister, but was I can say is that if you cannot have children, that there are plenty of children in that orphanage of yours that would be so lucky to have you and Gendry as parents. You can still have children; maybe not in the traditional sense, but you can provide a child with nothing, the gift of two parents.”

Arya hiccupped. She wiped her eyes and gazed up into her sister’s eyes, “Thank you. For keeping me steady, when I felt nothing but unwavering sadness.”

Sansa smiled and gave a soft kiss atop Arya’s head, “We may not have liked each other as children, but you are my sister and I will always be here for you. Now, wipe those tears, you have an orphanage to show me.”

It was a comfort that not many people had – to be able to pinpoint the exact moment their brains decided to go insane.

Ascendancy-SF!Sans

y’all I’ve just been having so many fuckin swapfell feels. Also I’ve been working on my swapfell lore so this got super long. I’m putting it partly under a cut because I assume you guys would like to see the rest of your dash at some point

(Also I know including music for fics is so  2014 but honestly Hey Look Ma I Made It by Panic! at the Disco, Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea by Fall Out Boy, and Glitter and Gold by Barns Courtesy were so important to this piece that I can’t not recommend them.)

Sans is 6 and Papyrus is 12. Two children, but Papyrus is tall for his age. He seems older to Sans. Like the other adults, he sits quietly and still. He talks seriously about serious things that Sans doesn’t understand.

Sans is not still. Sans is not solemn or quiet. Sans is loud. Sans is hyper and angry and self-willed. His first word is “no” and for a long time, it seems like his only. When he was younger it was simply the Terrible twos. Then simply an energetic child. Now he was simply a difficult one. Someone to be glared at and shushed and told to behave. But he couldn’t behave. It felt like all his energy was bursting out of him from every angle. Like his body couldn’t keep up with whatever force was driving it. Change, disorder, neglect, they all made him angry. He didn’t know how to take it quietly. If he didn’t strike out he thought he might die. If he didn’t strike out, no one would hear him.

But Papyrus did. Papyrus always seemed to hear what he was actually saying. When he was so angry he couldn’t speak, when his insides were so complicated that no matter how many people asked him about it he couldn’t begin to make them understand what kind of hurt he was carrying inside him. Papyrus read the language of sobs and tantrums and was usually able to back him away from the ledge. Before he got in too much trouble.

Gaster called Papyrus an old soul. He had the patience of one. While he had normal bouts of teenage moodiness, Sans only ever felt calm when he was with Papyrus. Only ever safe with him. He was also one of the only ones who ever understood when Sans was trying to apologize.

“why can’t I be good?” he asked him once.

“you are good. just harder for you to show it than everyone else” Papyrus said. “Your only problem is I’m the only one who sees how much harder you’re working for it.”

Sans is 8. Papyrus is 14. They’re on their own. And Sans feels another emotion joining the ever-constant anger. Fear. Anxiety. He sees it in Papyrus’ fidgets (now his older brother has trouble staying still too), in the caution with which he covers their footprints through the snow. He hears it in the presences that dog their footsteps and the low growls. So when Papyrus screams for him to run. Hise finds his feet are already moving impossibly fast. That energy comes in handy, he runs and runs until the terrain around him is utterly unfamiliar, and only realizes then that Papyrus is not behind him, and hasn’t been since he started running.

He can only wait in fear, hiding out in a bar where the owner of the establishment, a spider woman, begrudgingly allows him to stay, on the condition that he clean her tables and not bother her customers. And Papyrus does show up, worse for wear, with cracks in his scar and a tooth missing. He doesn’t want to talk about it. He doesn’t want to talk about much, but Sans follows him like a shadow, barely letting him out of his sight for the next few weeks. But Papyrus is here, and he’s going to make it alright now. They’ll make it now.

The town is peaceful. Or at least, more peaceful than life on the outskirts. They stay with the spider woman and wait for their father to come, as he promised he would. But Sans is 12 and Papyrus is 18, and both are old enough to know what happens to lingerers. Sans is not ok, but nothing at all is. They are warm, for now, and safe for now. Muffet offers them protection in exchange for labor, and though she’s strict she’s not unreasonable. She pays them, though scantly. Papyrus replaces his tooth with some copper that tastes foul, but it makes him look tougher. Sans is afraid to go outside sight of the bar alone. The one time he tried (an attempt to go to the library), he was quickly spotted as an easy victim. The marks around his eyes would stay with him for the rest of his life, though he managed to get away.

Papyrus didn’t say much. These days he rarely did. But he came home that night covered in dust and San never saw the bullies again.

His brother is not okay either. He's been sneaking sips of the amber liquid Muffet serves to dead-eyed customers. Some night he has too much and goes glassy and vacant. A shell. It frightens Sans, and every time he apologizes but it happens again and again.

The powerlessness of his life frustrates Sans day to day. His energy is all in fear now, but he has nothing he can do. He will always be short, he is slowly discovering, and always have a face that is cute despite his scars. He is an easy target for cruelty and though his brother will always save him, there is another fear yet greater, that one day there will be a day when Papyrus is the one who needs protecting. And he won’t be able to do anything. The visions haunt him with every waking hour, and often in his dreams. Papyrus dead. Muffet Dead,. Himself tormented and beaten and dying.

Over and over again, with no way to escape. But he walks with the fear every day. wakes up each morning and leaves his bed and gets up and goes to deal with customers who at any moment could strike out against him (its happened before, despite Muffet’s rules). And though he doesn’t know it, it's making him stronger. Because he is no longer afraid of being afraid.

Sans is 14 and Papyrus is 20, and unbelievably, Gaster reappears. He never explains his long absence, at least not to Sans, but there he was again. And it was only then that Sans had realized that he missed him. The old man was gruff and uncompromising, could even turn cruel in odd moments. But he was more stable than most adults he knew, and there was even a part of him that loved his sons. He bought a house in the village big enough for the three of them. For the first time he could remember Sans had his own room, to do with what he pleased. He decorated it the way he used to daydream his bedroom would be as a child, and though Papyrus sometimes ribs him gently for the rocketship bed, he doesn’t bring it up often. At least one of them should get to reclaim a childhood.

Sans would never call it a happy home, but it was better than most, he knew. And one day Gaster looked up, watching Sans rushing around the house and cleaning at his usual top speed...and saw something in his son he never had before.

Potential.

It would seem odd to Sans in the future but he hadn’t wanted the training when it started. For better or for worse, growing up with Papyrus as a wall between him and danger had impressed on him the idea that he wasn’t up to the task. But Gaster refused his excuses and Papyrus’ attempts at intervention. It was hell at first but...suddenly the energy had an outlet. He began to learn to transform the fear into something else. He was...strong. Powerful, even. His control was deft and his stamina formidable. When Gaster began letting Papyrus train alongside him the two only became stronger. Soon Sans felt no danger in traveling freely. If someone tried to start something, he could shut it down in moments. It felt...liberating.

Papyrus seemed a little better too. Fewer nights where Sans would find him half in the bottle. He had picked up smoking from Gaster, though, much to Sans’ chagrin. He hated the smell of the smoke and how the ashes would get into everything. Though skeletons didn’t have lungs that could be damaged by it, it still wasn’t healthy for either of them. But things were better.

Until they weren’t.

Sans is 17. His brother is 23. They never had a father. He doesn’t think so at least. Sometimes Papyrus will mention one and then seem confused that Sans doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He can only assume that he was long gone before he was old enough to remember. But it doesn’t matter.

The wolves are closing in. As both of them have grown out of childhood there are fewer and fewer people to take pity on them. Muffet is still an ally, but she can only extend her protection so far. They’re both strong. But Sans can feel things slipping out of his grip again.

Papyrus seems worse than ever. He’s rarely around in the daytime, disappearing on what he calls odd jobs. He’s bringing money home, to be sure, but Sans doesn’t know from what. When he home in the morning he’s terse, always acting like he’s on the edge of telling Sans to run along. He’s nearly an adult but Papyrus seems to have missed that memo.  

Not that he doesn’t also saddle Sans with some undue responsibilities. It feels like every night Sans is being called in to drag him home from Muffet’s, he’s bothering the other customers with strange ramblings. When he’s not as Muffets, he’s at home, puking in the toilet and slurring incoherently about someone named “Gaster” or about how they’re all going to die. Bleak. Grim. Not what Sans wants to hear. And it aches like hell....that it feels like he’s not worth staying sober for. Like he’s the last connection keeping Papyrus tethered to reality, and even then it's not strong enough to keep him healthy.

He met Alphys at the dump. On one of Papyrus’ few good days (such as they were) they were scavenging around the Labs for parts to fix the TV. The dino had caught them unawares and demanded to know what they were doing. Papyrus’ smooth-talking had gotten them out of trouble but she’d insisted on escorting them home to ensure they didn’t try anything. Sans knew the Captain of the Royal Guard only by reputation, but this is the first time he’d seen her.

She wasn’t what he expected. He’d had run ins with members of the Guard before. Feckless thugs, for the most part, barely worthy of notice. Sans didn’t run risks against the law nearly as often as Papyrus did, but he had his own ways of avoiding them. But Alphys was bright. Quite bright, actually, once you managed to make out what she was saying. Her speech was slow but her reflexes were quick, and as he found out later, she was a cunning fighter, even when cornered. But most notably....she seemed just as scared as any of them. That scaly face didn’t betray much emotion, but she was jumpy, anxious even. He went on to spend more time with her: they had bonded a bit on the walk home and after he’d let it slip that he was no slouch in the combat department she’d insisted on seeing his abilities. And he only became more and more aware that the Captain was hanging on by a few threads. Her abilities were considerable, but rebellions stirred constantly and power shifted with the wind in Toriel’s court. She could lose her seat at any moment, to insurgents or to politics, or even to the whims of their Mad Queen.

It was the first time that power seemed mutable.

He spent more and more time with Alphys. She came to trust him, no small feat, and she began taking him on trips to the capital. And the impression only sank in deeper. No one’s position was assured. Everyone, even the higher-ups....was scared absolutely shitless. Toriel seemed the only one free of fear, and she spent her days wandering her palace, waiting for news of another fallen human.

Some might have taken it as a sign that things were worse than they had ever imagined.

Sans...found it oddly empowering.

He began digging discreetly into his brother’s activities, using Alphys’ contacts to do so. Turned out his brother was gaining quite a bit of notoriety as a criminal. Toriel extended him meager protections (for reasons that were never clear) but his actions were catching up to him. Theft, assault on important persons, hacking the mainframes of the Lab, terrorism....the rep sheet was a piece of paper as long as his arm. It didn’t seem to be an act of political dissidence, not properly. There was no consistency to his targets. After a little investigation of his own Sans came to the conclusion that Papyrus was simply taking jobs for whoever would hire him, for whatever task. Anything...to provide for him. The realization hit him like a freight train.

The dossier on his brother was immense. The only thing they lacked was conclusive proof: the courts of the Underground were brutal but it seemed unless they had an ironclad case against him Toriel wouldn’t let it go through. Sans even found his own file marked as evidence.

“Not A Known Threat” it said.

Interesting.

Sans is 20. His brother is spiralling. More days drunk than sober. Alphys doesn’t give him much information on the investigation regarding his brother but he’s certain they’re getting close. The stress is getting to Papyrus. Smoke surrounds him like a cloud and empty bottles litter his room. Finally Sans can’t take it anymore, opening the door to tell Papyrus off....and finds his brother in tears.

He can’t remember the last time he saw his brother cry.

It comes out, a confession that Sans doesn’t need but didn’t expect. Papyrus is fighting back puke and sobs, begging for forgiveness and apologizing over and over. In the lowest moment he asks Sans to turn him in. It’ll be better for him in the long run. He’s insistent that Sans call Alphys, promising he’ll be fine...but Sans knows his brother is afraid. So afraid he can’t keep his hands still. His mouth demands it but his eyes are pleading for an escape.

So many thoughts spiralling in Sans’ head....and suddenly they click into place. Like those jigsaw puzzles Papyrus does. Suddenly it all stopped being composite pieces and fixed together to form a greater whole. A vision, maybe, or at least a plan.

Sans doesn’t touch his phone. He forces his brother into a cold shower and cleans up the mess while Papyrus tries to sober up. And when he’s pulled himself together a bit, Sans offers him a deal.

The Guard is protection. Black marks on its members tend to get slowly scrubbed off the record. The Guard is salary: the wage isn’t lucrative but it’d be enough to keep them comfortable. And the Guard....well its opportunity.

They’ve been tractionless for far too long, in a world that kills its stragglers. Papyrus tried to get them some momentum, but through channels that were destined to be punished. Sans has an in. Rising through the ranks should prove feasible, and the higher they rise, the safer they are.

The deal is this: from now on, Sans is the head of their household. At least as far as outsiders were concerned. Papyrus would defer to his judgement anytime they were outside the house, no matter what Sans ordered. The narrative they would assume was that Sans, growing more powerful due to his proximity to Alphys, had finally brought his wayward brother into line. His criminal activity would be drawn to a halt. Even if they were brothers it would be considered an impressive move, and as long as he appeared to toe the line chances are the scrutiny would soon fade. In exchange Sans would take over the role of provider, and ensure that they were both fed and protected for the rest of their lives.

In another life Papyrus might have laughed in his face. But...looking back he’d had more than enough opportunity to fuck up his own life. His dreams and ambitions were long since dust. All that was left to dedicate himself to his brother’s, if it meant they’d be able to live without constantly looking over their shoulders.

They shook hands in their kitchen.

Sans is 22. Papyrus is 28. The older follows at the beck and call (or more often, beck and scream) of the other. They make their rounds on the village every day without fail, calibrating traps and sticking their noses into the business of everyone in Snowdin. Sans is a pint-sized tyrant, bitterly termed “the brat” by irritated locals while his brother is little more than his guard-dog. Even has the collar to prove it.

(It was Papyrus’ idea actually, something to confirm his “humiliation”. Sans was hesitant at first but in a way, it became a visual reminder for Papyrus to latch onto, a memento of the promise between them. No leash, though, despite the rumors).

The two have a fair amount of wealth set by, though the exact amount is not known. Its demonstrated by the new, gleaming gold of Papyrus’ missing tooth and the sleek armor clothing his brother.

And no one but Muffet seems to remember it was ever any different.

Papyrus has barely touched a drop in years, though he’s yet to drop the cigs. His sweet tooth is as voracious as ever, though, and so he still frequents the spider woman’s bar. The residents of Snowdin aren’t known for their kindness but he’ll occasionally get sympathetic looks from some of the sloppier drunks. “Yer bro’s a reaaaal piece a’ work, huh? Mus’....mus’ be hell to live with.”

Papyrus usually makes it clear that these are not welcome comments.

He’d be lying if he said it wasn’t hard sometimes. He misses his freedom to roam sometimes. And its inevitable that their performance begin to leak into their private interactions. His brother has discovered a taste for power, for control. Maybe it’s understandable, considering how little he’s had over his own life up until that point. The collar chafes some days more than others.

But ultimately he wouldn’t change a thing. For the first time some of the burden is off his shoulders. He’s free to protect Sans without worrying where their next meal is coming from. His brother has always had the drive and the energy to get himself wherever he needs to go. Now that he was steering the ship, he was showing a mastery over it that made his brother proud. Sometimes there was so much of the old man in him...

Sans, for his part....well, he’s tired. They’re playing a very long game, with the highest of stakes. He has to juggle his few valued relationships with a certain cold calculation. Reputation and friendship are currency in their world: who you know can be the difference between a knife in the back and some gold in your pocket. As he climbs the ranks the relationships only become more difficult to maintain. There are egos to soothe, lines to toe, deals to be made. It takes so much patience that he has little to spare when he’s with....well, underlings. He does his best to keep himself in check when he’s at home, but the residents of Snowdin are afforded no such protection. Even his brother can sometimes be an unwitting target of his wrath.

Still, let them whisper about the upstart skeleton, a nothing from nowhere. This nothing was used to being the problem child. He was ready to fight his way out of this hellhole, no matter what it took.

And what it took, it seemed, was a human soul. What faster ticket into Toriel’s good graces? The queen’s favor was uneasy and tenuous in the best of cases, but it was well worth the risk.

Sans is 24. Papyrus is 30. And there are rumors of a human in a green sweater, making their uneasy way through the Underground. The coward won’t even strike to kill.

Perfect...

         So I’d made a fic rec master post before where I included my fave fics from the Evakteket Best of 2017 nominated fics, and then June came with some incredible fics and I was like, I have read so many fics that are so good, especially in June alone, which was like this magical thing to me as I got to read them in pride month. Some of these fics are not written in June but I included it in here anyway. So, the intention here is to be able to share this with others who, maybe, are coming across any of these fics for the first time and I will feel so lucky and honored to be able be that person who made you check it out and give it a chance. All of these fics are incredible and I promise you that. Also, if you are a reader/fan of fics, please try and spread the word about it. The writers put their heart and soul in the work they put out in the world, and if you liked it, and if you stumbled across a rec post from the author of the fic you liked, please try and reblog it. It’s the least you can do for free stuff that moves you and makes you feel.

four movements on a first wedding by  chevythunder / @icelandcurry

Tags: Accidental Marriage

Summary: Sonja catches sight of the crumpled marriage certificate that’s fallen out of his bag. The crooked smile on her face is enough for Isak’s eyes to burn.

“I’m still hoping that’s fake,” Isak says, going for a laugh. It bounces back to him, the faux joy making him nauseous. She stares at it for a few seconds longer, zoning in on the signatures, running a thumb over Even’s. “I- God, that’s... Seeing his name on one of these.”

Isak looks down, keeps looking down. Tries to block out the hurt he’s causing, the hurt he’s feeling. He hugs her tightly before letting her out the door. Her answering embrace feels like going through the motions.

Isak's spent years keeping his distance to Even, worried that any kind of closeness could trigger feelings he won't be able to suppress. Waking up married to Even after a blurry night in Las Vegas throws a slight wrench in those plans.

(--bla bla: this fic, i have re-read it an embarrassing amount of times. at first, i was skeptical about it because i don’t like the vegas accidental marriage cliche but i love the author’s style and the way they portray isak and even with utmost care, i am so glad i read and i can’t wait for someone to find it from my recs. this fic will give you all the feels, i promise--)

if you must live, darling one, just live by grinsekaetzchen / @hotchocolatenthusiast

Tags: Alternate Universe - Post-Apocalypse

Summary: The world has ended and Even is still alive. He steps into the street, takes in the way the sun is shining onto the ruins. The silence of the town is at odds with the way the sun feels on Even’s skin. A distant warmth. The beginning of a movie. A sunrise, the hero turning his back on a ghost town, leaving.

Cut. Darkness. Fast forward to the light again.

Even starts walking.

(--bla bla:  this is an amazing fic, it’s like you are watching a movie, you know? and you would want to read multi chapters of this verse because it’s such an addictive thing. i have recently discovered that i kind of have a post-break and post-apocalypse kink, oh well, if you do too, check it out. and check their other fics as well, they are really talented and i just discovered them last month--)

Cathedrals of Light, Salt and Snow by shoulderbone (lavenderforluck) / @odeto-psyche

Tags: Canon Compliant, But also canon divergence

Summary: What he wants to say, and cannot bring himself to admit: Before you there was no real me. Only a person pretending to be. Or, alternatively: Isak comes back to face death, and in the meantime, finds rebirth.

(--bla bla: i discovered this from @evakteket recs, bless immy and kit for maintaining such a cool rec blog, my rec post would look like a joke to the work they and @evaksbinder does, but i’m trying my best to show my gratitude here, i think it’s cute,, ok? so this fic, i have a high threshold for angst, as long it’s not there for angst sake and it’s realistic in the scenario, i love angst. and this fic is angsty. it’s isak who lives in germany and is not in a good place emotionally and comes back to oslo because his mother has died, and it’s his journey through grief and self acceptance. i love how isak and even come together in this fic (it’s hardly a spoiler, psst), it’s epic in all it’s glory and i love post break up getting together fic sooooo much. There’s an Even’s POV WIP sequel to this fic which is not as angsty but is equally wonderful. oh, i forgot to mention they include really cool art recs and song recs within the fic, which just.... enriches your fic reading experience ten fold. someone who puts that much effort deserves all the love in the world. i love you! --)

All the climbing, all the falling by Alene / @tristealven

Tags:  Future Fic, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence

Summary: Isak and Even never saw each other after that night at the Plaza. Five years later Isak studies molecular biology in Bergen and keeps running into someone tall and blond.

It rains a lot, there are mountains to climb, and some things start to fall into place.

(--bla bla: this fic. this beautiful, beautiful fic. i can’t rec this enough. elina’s writing just transports you to that gloomy, cloudy aesthetic, especially this is a great read in this awful summer. elina and i bonded over our great love for ‘all stories are echoes’ and i didn’t even know she wrote too? and i was like mad at myself and others for not reccing me soon enough. since then i have read it three times and there’s a wonderful sequel too, so makes sure you read that as well. definitely in my top 5! --)

let's not waste it feeling wrong by @prettyisak

Tags: Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks

Summary: Isak has always been skeptical of the soul mark.

Instead of your soulmate's first words to you written on your skin, it's the last words you ever hear them say, so you don't know who your soulmate is until you lose them.

(--bla bla: this fic is a gem, the introspection and the characterization within the plot is just so refreshing and i love their writing. i love the pacing of this fic too --)

On call by MinilocIsland / @irazor

Tags: Enemies to Friends to Lovers

Summary: Isak knows what he's meant to do in life - surgery. And he can't wait to show everyone that he's good at it.

That is, if he'll ever get a goddamn chance. Not getting hindered by ridiculous, charming guys whose main advantage in the operating room simply is the length of their legs.

Or - a hospital AU, with both Isak and Even as intern physicians

(--bla bla: never thought i’d like a fic were even is a physician? this was so great, i loved it! look out for a delightful magnus here --)

i always knew by GayaIsANerd / @greathalesonfire 

Tags:  Alternate Universe – Soulmates

Summary: The dreams start on his 19th birthday. A woman screaming, a basement, a man slamming the door behind him, a dark bar, a kind voice telling him he’ll be okay, a blurry shot of another boy. Those are the most clear but there are other images, emotions and sensations lingering even after he wakes. There’s no clear timeline, no names or addresses or anything that could give more definite information.

The information Even doesn’t have, tells him his soulmate is younger than him, not yet 19.

The information he does have, tells him his soulmate is suffering and Even’s heart aches for him.

(--bla bla: gaya is a legend around here, and rightfully so. READ THIS. --)

dancing past the point of no return by @fxckxxp

Tags:  Alternate Universe - Afterlife

Summary: Even has 24 hours to test drive the afterlife, where at the end he can either decide to 1. live for eternity or 2. let his existence dissolve into nothingness. Isak has 21 of those 24 hours to convince him to stay. 

(--bla bla: afterlif au? yes, please. i love how isak is portrayed here. it could have easily been a whiny!isak which i don’t enjoy. it’s not. isak is wonderful here.  --)

Far From Heaven 2.0 by grallonsphere 

Tags:  Future Fic, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence

Summary: When Even chooses to go study film-making in America, without first being upfront about it with Isak, he sets in motion a chain of events that will leave them both lost and damaged...

(bla bla: i found this fic from a commissioned art that popped up, and i was travelling and i wanted to read something long in one go. i forgot to check the tags, if i would’ve have, i wouldn’t have read this fic. and it would’ve been a shame because i loved it. it was really well written and if someone told me the outline of this story, i wouldn’t even give it a chance. it’s one of those fics which you have to read to get why someone liked it. useful tip: read this like an original story instead of a fanfic, it might help? i don’t know if this makes sense?? i bullied @art-vandeley into reading it and she did like it, though, so.. it’s not just me!

 Phosphorescence by unsungyellowraincoat / @isaksbestpillow

Tags:  Canon Compliant

Summary: Maybe they will all get there one dayTo a place of no fear. They go to Latvia. 

(--bla bla: a year ago all i read was canon compliant fics, because my stupid brain could not imagine them in other scenarios, now i do love an au that doesn’t butcher their characterization, but a good canon compliant will always be my top priority and this is one of the best! the line in the summary is something you won’t forget. and it’s isak,even, eskild and linn! a combo you never saw before. it’s delightful and this feeling of ‘i wanna read 10k worth of isak and even just being themselves and bantering’ stayed with me after reading it.  --)

daffodils, daisies, snowdrops & roses by  puddingandpie / @annecuthbertshirley

 Tags: Alternate Universe - Magical Realism

Summary: Even is a Spring. He’s new life. Renewal. Hope. Good things. It follows him everywhere he goes, seeping out of him like he has no idea how to control it.

Isak can’t take his eyes off of him. It’s intoxicating, the way he exudes happiness and warmth in a way that should be typical of a Summer, but somehow seems to suit him just right. But just watching him makes Isak’s own body run colder, the icicles that have taken up a permanent home on his hands weaving more intricate designs than usual. It’s the same response as he once had with Jonas, but this time, Even does not have the heat to break the pattern. Isak knows that if he even dares get closer to Even he will ruin him, just as is the natural order of things. Winter kills plants. Winter kills Spring.

tldr; in a world where u are assigned a Season at birth which defines your magic, isak is a Winter, even is a Spring. they shouldn't work. somehow they do.

(--bla bla: someone who just read canon compliant stuff for a while, all of these AUs just blows my mind and how well isak and even fits in those universes and are still their soft, dorky self. *enter the audio where jvn says ‘love’* --)

waxing, waning by @vesperthine

 Tags: Post-Canon

Summary: They’re in a car, heading towards the E6. Streetlights become blurred dots in the watery dark, and the shadows pass over Isak’s face ( – waves of lights, waxing and waning like the moon, the tide, the moods – ) as they’re navigating through the currents of traffic.

(--bla bla: vesper is so good with real emotions. it annoys me when people dismiss fics because it’s “angst”, i’ve come to associate angst as a negative word now. i wouldn’t call the stuff she writes as angst. raw / real / emotional / introspective - all this, maybe? what do you think? --)

Naturlig seleksjon by Allieverwas, Artemis2121, Kikki1

Tags:  Alternate Universe - Soulmates, PrisonAU

Summary: Livet i fengsel er tøft. Her gjelder den sterkestes rett både for innsatte og ansatte. Even jobber hardt for sin plass på rangstigen. Bare synd at han må holde kortene tett til brystet på så mange områder i livet sitt.

(--bla bla: @vildenooras recommended me this and it was a roller coaster. i wouldn’t deliberately read a prison au and i’m so glad you did it babe, it was feel train for me and thank you for literally holding my hand when i freaked out at twists in this fic. we hate larson in this house, don’t we? --)

tender (is the night) by kittpurrson / @towonderland72

Tags:  Alternate Universe - Soulmates

Summary: His whole body aches, like he’s regrown his limbs overnight, stretched out muscles he never knew he had.

Isak knows, in that moment, that his life has just been turned upside down.

“You bonded,” Even’s girlfriend confirms, and the pity in her eyes doesn’t go unnoticed. “Try not to move.”

(--bla bla: this fic, god this fic.my first soul-bond fic, can you believe that my first time was that good? at first when it everyone was talking about i dismissed it because the concept of soul-bond was meh to me. now i can’t get enough. i can only imagine the thought process that went in to writing this epic, oh my god. i read it one go and at one point i didn’t have internet for a few days and i was grumpy af and my friends abandoned me. apparently, i was “hard to be around with”. whatever. anyway, this is definitely in my top 5 and i’m pretty sure everyone has read it already! check out this fanart by ayesha, OMG?!!! --)

  you and me from the night before by colazitron / @fille-lioncelle

Tags: Travel AU

Summary: There are only two reasons to wake up before eight in the morning: emergencies or romance. When Isak wakes Even on this particular February Friday, it's the latter.

(--bla bla: oh. cola! sweet, sweet cola. one of my fave writers in this fandom who is so consistently great with their writing, I CAN’T. SOO GOOD. exactly why i have you on subscription😎. remember  SKAM Fic Week 2018 ? 7 days of awesome content. i remember telling them about wanting multi chapters  of all of the fics they wrote that week. i hope you don’t hate me for that! in this fic, isak an even are just being their sweet, soft, ridiculous self. it’s nothing really. also, it’s everything and just the kinda thing i. can’t. get. enough. of! --)

A Beginner's Guide to Living with Isak Valtersen by riyku 

Tags:  Canon Compliant

Summary: Or, how to live with the love of your life, in five easy to follow steps.

(--bla bla: i discovered this author when @art-vandeley recommended bassline to me. of course, i read it one go. and i’m waiting for it’s update like i haven’t waited for anything else, ever. and then i went ahead and read all of their one shots. they write isak and even so well, the introspection is just so well done and it’s like poetry, like, seriously, read them. it’s breathtaking. i desperately want you to check it out so here’s a little snippet - 

Rule 4: Never allow him to wake up alone. Isak hates it, and you hate the idea of him finding a you-shaped hole beside him. You will lay in bed and watch the sunrise color in his face with broad strokes. Study the way his curls lick the skin behind his ear and the perfect fit of your palm on his hipbone. You will create patterns in the moles on his back until they become constellations in your mind, complete with their own mythologies. The stories change and you will never write any of them down. Isak will reach for you before he opens his eyes, gasp like the simple act of waking up is a shock to him every single time, then he'll bury his pillow-creased face in your neck. Sometimes you'll fuck around. Sometimes you'll make him breakfast.It will be two months before you realize that on the very rare occasions where Isak wakes up first, he's doing it too.>>  see?? --) 

Eventyr by imminentinertia / @skamskada

Tags: Alternate Universe - Fairy Tale

Summary: Once upon a time, humans knew about and feared the wights in the forest. Now the wights are all forgotten, and perhaps they have left their hills and trees and ponds.

Perhaps some are still there.

(--bla bla: enchanting is the word. this fic is enchanting. so gorgeous and i really want  more, more, more...  --)

to love you every day by @skamz​

Tags: Canon Compliant, Advent Calender

Summary: Advent calendars are nice, but the ones you buy at the store are not really what Even wants to offer Isak. And so he decides to make one for him instead.

(--bla bla:Cristine got me for secret santa (poor girl) and wrote this incredible fic, for me?? I just re - read it recently and can’t believe my luck. also, read all of their works. they are incredible.--)

you’ll always wait for me to come home by iriswests /  @juilawicker

Tags: Science Fiction

Summary: In a world where time may be arbitrary, but perhaps not linear, Even looks for Isak.

(--bla bla: i believe this is ceecee’s best work yet. it is so well written and it had me in the edge of my seat through and through. just gorgeous and i love isak and even in a sci fi setting! even and sana teams up in a refreshing way and this fic just is like watching a movie, i love it when a fic can do that. like in an all encompassing  way you shut your internet off and just want to immerse in this verse. --)

All this and heaven too by @champagneleftie and @nofeartina

Summary: The first time, it’s just a hookup, a quick blowjob in a club bathroom.

The next time Isak pretends he’s never seen him before. But maybe that’s because they’re at church. And the pastor is Isak’s dad.

Even shouldn’t want the closeted pastor’s son like this, but it’s impossible not to. Especially when he’s already had a taste.

(--bla bla: this was a fantastic read. spoiler alert: look out for the romeo and juliet parallel. i swooned . you will too. --)

Dear Friend by bri_ness / @brionbroadway

Tags: Enemies to Lovers

Summary:  Isak and Even work together in a failing video store, and they cannot stand each other.

Isak and Even both signed up for the Love Letters dating service, and they’re both falling for their anonymous pen pal.

Or, a She Loves Me AU (kind of, sort of).

(--bla bla: god, isak and even in this fic is so eloquent, i can’t with them. and it’’s pacing is wonderful. it’s not rushed or slow, just perfect. high-key wants a follow up to my fave bri fic. please read this fic ok. it’s very soft.  --)

I even made a not so good edit for this fic, that’s how much I loved it. Bri liked it, that will do ;) check out her fics and drabble, all of them are wonderful.

Must read short fics: 

 you don’t have to carry the weight of your sin, we didn’t rise to cave in by @evenbechneiheim

@thefancyspin drabbles: seriously, read em all, it will be time well spent, trust me.

Also, this amazing fic/drabble by @greathalesonfire about sex is something I go back to and re-read, because, why the hell not? It’s so breath taking.

This drabble by  @fxckxxp which sort of is like a missing scene thing between isak and even’s first kiss in the pool and the cuddle marathon the next day. It’s incredibly well written and easy to imagine that this is exactly what happened.

 WIPS that rocks my world

Shaky målinger av livet (uten deg) by Frieda Echte (Plommesill), Peer

Tags: Canon Divergence

Summary: this is a little bit tricky. but hear me out, I have their consent to read this fic using google translate (desperate to a whole new level, eh?), they even said to ask them if i have any doubts (how kind??) and I get help from @vildenooras, amalie and sofie. SO, in this fic, Isak is in Germany due to his studies and Even is in Oslo, and they do the long distant relationship thing, it’s hard but they make it work, but life throws them few curve balls and this fic is basically about how they deal with it.

It’s so realistic and wonderful. Freida writes Isak’s POV and Peer writes Even’s, which is like, so cool, right? So, if you can read Norwegian, please, please, please read this.

Bassline by riyku

Summary: Isak opens up the email from his editor, skims through it for the tenth time, snagging to a stop on phrases like serial piece and North American tour coverage, boots on the ground and big opportunity. His response is quick and vague, that he'll let her know tomorrow morning, although he's known the answer from the jump.

(Or, Isak is a Norwegian ex-pat, fresh out of NYU with a journalism internship, who bags an assignment covering a band from his former hometown of Oslo on their first North American tour. It takes him about three seconds to realize he kinda has a thing for the bass player).

(--bla bla: first of all, i do not enjoy Americanized fics,, but this is not that, and it is GLORIOUS. this is the sexiest even i’ve ever read and isak is not a helpless pining dork here, he is just so grounded and in tune for his desire not being realistic to be with even, but they do get together and it’s hardly a spoiler, i wanna mention the pacing here too. wow. it wasn’t stretched to keep the will-they-won’t-they thing going the last update is at such a delicious point I AM STARVING FOR AN UPDATE LIKE YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE. also nooreva is a thing, which is like, yayy! --)

Summary: We don't often reveal ourselves, when we don't actually know what there is to reveal yet. Or, alternatively: Isak returns to Oslo, and most importantly, to Even.

(--bla bla: this the Even’s POV sequel to Cathedrals and one of those fic that just makes you feel like you’ve been transported to Oslo and is invisibly stalking isak and even, which exactly how i feel when i watch s3. the music rec, the art rec, i can’t thank you enough and just reminds me of the time I read ‘all stories are echoes’ (am i plugging it too much, why wouldn’t i? it’s my #1 fave after all) it’s got that movie like feeling to it, which i’m addicted to and cannot get enough of. also, isak is so smooth here. master of wooing and even melts. and swoons. i can’t with these two. and this fic. this is also the fic where me and ayesha messages each other right after there’s an update and we gush and gush, gdkjngk  --)

ok, so after the not so pretty rambling about great fics that deserves to be recced in an elegant way, i just wanna say i had this thought, that, the places the writers in this fandom has taken isak and even, all the parallel universes and all the brilliant characterization and introspection, julie could only dream of. not a diss, i will never diss the queen. forever grateful. and grateful to all the writers for your generosity and brilliance. 

god sommer. vi chattes 💖
