Danny is Diana's Big Brother (and annoys the hell out of her)

So!

Danny decided to reveal himself to his Parents one day, and it didn't go well. Thankfully, Jazz managed to get him out of the Lab and they fled into the Ghost Zone, destroying the Portal behind them.

They seek refuge with some of their friends, and after a while they find a permanent home with Pandora in the Ancient Greek Sector. She found them while they were wandering the Zone in search of a place to sleep and happily took them in.

Danny also finds out that he is the new Ghost Prince after an incident where Fright Knight almost kills Skulker for "Daring to attack the Prince!"

So life is getting better for Danny. But he soon finds out that as the Ghost Prince, he needs a Parent to take over until he comes of Age. And he doesn't really have parents anymore.

He tries to set up Jazz as his Legal Guardian, but since she is his sister (and a newly forming Halfa, therefore also too young) she doesn't count.

Thankfully, he had the perfect candidate right there with Pandora! And she happily adopted them, she was basically already acting like their new Mom anyways, do it wasn't that much of a change. All she needs to do is keep the peace for a few decades until Danny reaches the Legal Ghost Age. (100 yrs old)

And of course, since he was adopted by Pandora he wants to learn about her Culture! So he asks her to take him on a trip to her Home Dimension and Home Country to learn about it.

So they head off to Themyscira.

And since Danny is technically Royalty, Not a Human Man, and the adopted son of Pandora (one of their greatest heroes of the past) he is tentatively allowed to visit the Island.

(Also, Danny can shapeshift, so it wouldn't be too big of a problem if he wanted to)

While there he meets Pandora's sister, Hippolyta, and her newly born Daughter, Diana.

Danny instantly decides that Diana is his new Little Sister.

And he also decides to indulge in all of the Big Brother Urges he has never been able to get away with with Ellie, and annoys the hell out of her in a way only big brothers can manage.

He teases her in front of her friends, pranks her occasionally, has play fights with her that end with a Forest being wiped off the map, and generally annoys the hell out of her.

But he also does all the good brother things like protect her from bullies, gives her wise advice, comfort her when she feels sad, and even helps comb her hair (she realized that he thrives on domestic stuff, since he never got to appreciate it when he was a kid)

He also introduces Diana to Jazz, and they get on like a house on fire! Unfortunately, Diana found out that Jazz can actually reign in Danny whenever he gets too overbearing and weaponizes this to great effect.

Ellie too, although they are hence banned from ever hanging out without supervision ever again (the observants couldn't walk right for a decade after that incident)

They go on like this for a few centuries, even after Danny takes up the Throne and has less time to hang out with her.

But Diana still loves her big brother, annoyances and all. Still, she will absolutely never let him know about the League. She wouldn't survive the embarrassment.

...

Wait, who did this Cult just say they were summoning?

Winner Take All

Diana and Violet shared a streaming channel, DiViGaming, that was struggling to gain traction. The streaming space was crowded if you didn't have a gimmick, and they hadn't settled on one yet.

At least, not until they got their hands on the Victor's Spoils Chokers!

Wearing matching choker necklaces, their contests now had higher stakes, with the winner getting to steal away a trait of her choice from the loser. Viewers flocked to watch each stream, waiting with pants in hand for the results.

Today's games had been... rough on Diana. Violet won the first game, a rhythm game, which was expected; she was always more on beat than Diana. But Di had way better reaction time to make up for it in the next games.

Except Violet cheated! "As winner, I'm going to... drain some of your motor functions."

"What?" The small gem at Diana's throat glowed and suddenly she felt the world slowing down as dizziness overtook her. When the sudden wave subsided, she looked at her hands, trying to move her fingers, only to realize they were difficult to move and didn't react right away. "Ch-cheater!"

Violet just grinned. "We never said it was against the rules! Oh well, next game!"

With Violet's reactions and dexterity souped up and Diana's at minimal functionality, the next series of games were a stomp. And Violet was showing no mercy, laughing and bullying her friend the entire time.

"I win again! Let's take... that lovely tan complexion of yours." Diana grumbled, feeling the ripple of goosebumps across her body as the natural tan granted by her mixed heritage drained away until she was pale white and her friend's Nordic background vanished behind a perfect warm complexion.

"Another win? Oh my, how about... that round ass of yours! I could use a boost." The girls had comparable bottoms, or at least they did, but Diana was forced to stand and show the camera as her ass lost enough mass that her pants started to slip off. Meanwhile, Vi was happy to taunt Di, shaking her new cake for the viewers.

"Won. Again. You know, I can tell you've been hitting the gym. I'm fine reaping the rewards." Diana groaned, feeling weak as her muscle mass withered away, leaving her frame narrow as a toothpick while Violet enjoyed her new healthy build.

And this kept happening. Diana dropped out of frame as her height was reduced by a foot while Violet shot up. Diana's long hair had to be pulled into a close, messy bun as Violet flipped her new luxurious locks.

And, of course, with the final game, Violet approached her petite partner and touched her chest. "They aren't even that big. Cute little B cups. But..."

Diana whimpered. "...Please?"

Violet shrugged. "Sorry Di. It's all you've got left." The gem glowed, deflating the perky tits on Diana until she was left with naught but puffy nipples on her flat chest.

Violet chuckled, grasping her chest. "Well, this has been a fun stream! I hope everyone enjoyed this thorough ass-kicking! Now if you switch to our... 'private stream,' you'll get to see Di appreciate our body in all its glory."

"Can I at least get my brain stuff back," she grumbled?

"...Yes. But only because I'm going to make sure to put that dexterity to good use. Now smile for the camera, Di!"

Have some headcanons of the league being genuine friends with Bruce to combat all the aus and headcanons that the league know nothing about him and his family :))

Barry and Bruce get along super well. Bruce and Barry often compare cases and love talking about detective stuff together. Both go to each other to geek out about cases, more so Barry than Bruce, but either way they enjoy it. They are also the most introverted on the team, so they often will have moments when they need a break and find the other doing the same thing. They both find a lot of comfort in silently being able to enjoy each other’s company. Dick and Wally get along so well because Bruce and Barry were always down to hang out with each other.

Hal and Bruce obviously don’t get along super great, but they respect each other massively. Bruce actually took advice from Hal about the Batplane, and has even let him fly it. Their birthdays are also a day apart, so the league often throws shared parties for them. They have a friendly competition to see who can make a better cake everytime. They both lose, of course, because neither are good at baking. Luckily Barry doesn’t seem to mind finishing them off for everyone else.

Diana is very close to Bruce as well, but out of everyone, is mostly likely to actually touch him without losing a finger. Diana has a habit of picking up the closest person when excited and swinging them around, and when Bruce happened to be said person, all the other leaguers nearly lost it. They are also each others favorite sparring partners, as they both feel as if they learn something new every time.

Clark and Bruce are clearly besties, but are super competitive with one another. They often compete to get each other better gifts, Clark’s being insanely thoughtful, and Bruce’s being insanely expensive, as well as trying to mess with the other while at work. Clark will help the daily planet write about how Batman fell off a roof during a league battle, Bruce will post on Twitter every time Clark makes a spelling mistake. It’s all in good fun, but the league totally takes advantage of it to get the two off their backs.

J’onn is also one of Bruce’s favorites. It took a while for Bruce to warm up to J’onn, mostly because the mind reading thing put him on edge, but as soon as Bruce saw the tactile advantage, he was all over it. J’onn loves exploring Earths culture, and often enjoys watching movies with Bruce, who is somewhat of a movie buff for the classics. Bruce’s tendency to over analysis them is very enduring for J’onn, as the constant chattering is informational, as well as remind him of the constant telepathy on Mars.

Oliver and Bruce have known each other the longest, as their families wealth has caused them to run into each other before they were heroes. They often like to tag up at undercover missions and during business deals, as the familiarity is quite nice, especially in such a secretive occupation. Being able to cancel a meeting because Scarecrow just decided to go gas downtown Gotham is much easier to explain when your business partner gets it. They also have a one sided competition, but it’s only on Oliver’s side. He ties hard to outclass Batman both as Queen Industry’s and as Green Arrow, but it never seems to work. However, Oliver is a surprisingly good sport about it.

Dinah is one of Bruce’s other favorite sparring partners. Her skill is similar to his, and fighting someone who also can’t lift up a bus is a nice change of pace from time to time. Dinah often tries to tell him gossip, of which Bruce always denies wanting to hear, but gives in quite quickly. Often times people chalk up Bruce knowing what’s going on as him being Batman, but he’s actually just getting the information from Canary, who is much better at reading social cues than him. He knows when he needs to outsource lol.

#bruces love language is competing with his friends #it’s the only way he lets himself have fun lmao #the flash #barry allen #dc comics #green lantern #hal jordan #wonder woman #diana prince #clark kent #superman #jonn jonzz #martian manhunter #oliver queen #green arrow #black canary #dinah lance #bruce wayne #batman

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, Godhood (DC x DP)

What’s the best way to cover up a secret when Danny can’t lie very well? Make an even more elaborate lie – but one that tugs on the heartstrings! My DC x DP Previous Works: Space Lover Danny, Kingmaker Danny, Service Animal Cujo, Danny yoinks Connor, Ghost Bruce HC + Ghost Jason HC

So, Danny's government just made his existence illegal. Which is rude and very othering and mean. In canon, Danny sort of slides around this but hey, this should be a pretty upsetting incident.

So, Vlad immediately switches his attitude (because your girl loves redeemed Vladdie!), and the two work together for weeks to try and minimise any chances of either of them getting caught. Danny is really feeling the whole “Only two of their kind” when his president declared open season on Danny (I don’t care if this isn’t how laws work in America. I’m not American I don’t care for foreign legal accuracy).

And so, weeks later, they’re actually together in ghost form with Extended Team Phantom (Tucker, Sam, Jazz and Valerie) trying to figure out their best way forward because if Vlad openly opposes these laws as Mayor too publicly the GIW might start looking at him way too closely and everything would unravel. They really can’t pretend that revealing the possibility of a human/ghost hybrid wouldn’t put events around whichever of them hadn’t been caught under a brand-new light.

Valerie is there pretending not to be emotionally invested in her boss’ and Danny’s welfare while reading a book and occasionally leaping in with “Devil’s Advocate” comments of how the Fenton parents and GIW might respond to some of their ideas.

Then the Justice League show up. Now there’s a whole law (please see Navigate any storm for my HC about the JLA’s relationship with the anti-ecto acts) they're obligated to step in. Now, I’ve been pretty uniform with who I’m including in these notfics so for a change, here we get Wonder Woman, Barry Allen’s Flash, Supergirl and I think Jason Todd but dressed up as Batman (Bruce got a booboo on his ickle frontal lobe and is out for the count, Flash and Supergirl are here because I loved their dynamic in all crossovers in the DCTV universe PRE-crisis).

Here we have the perfect storm of well read (Diana and Jason) but kind of gullible and not-as-paranoid as Batman (Flash and Supergirl, Jason is definitely suspicious but would defer to an expert like Wonder Woman in the right scenario).

Diana has shown up ready to fight, Hestia’s lasso glowing in her hands, and Team Phantom is sharp – they’re well trained and smart, but they can’t really compete against superhumans like the JLA. Diana demands that they all surrender and relinquish control over their human sycophants before being taken into custody for violation of the anti-ecto acts and performing actions of war on civilians or whatever other legal stuff she knows about.

The two halfas are floating and green so denying any knowledge would be bad. Vlad steps forward to try and babble on to buy Danny time and he scrambles for an escape. He doesn’t see a way out, but what he does see is the book that Valerie was reading. Percy Jackson. He looks back at Wonder Woman. Back at the book. Back at the Daughter of Zeus.

“Cousin! It’s so great you came to visit us at last!”

That at least gets Wonder Woman to pause. She asks what he’s talking about. Then “Batman” says not to let the ghost confuse them. He’s glaring at the vampiric ghost who seems to be trying to protect the smaller one. Vlad has legs, Danny has his little tail form.

Danny lets out the fakest laugh you’ve ever heard. He explains that ‘of course’ they weren’t ghosts. They were superpowered beings. Superpowered beings are protected by metahuman law.

“Batman” points out that they both look a lot like ghosts. Danny’s mind is scrambling for the right names. He finds them.

“Oh, I am actually the son of Melinoe, goddess of ghosts.” Daughter of Persephone, would make him Diana’s first cousin, once removed. Totally fit in with his power set plus she was a really obscure goddess who wasn’t very well known or documented, and therefore he could make up stuff about his ‘mother’ if he so chose.

“And who’s the vampire?” Barry asks, though Jazz, at least can tell that everyone is way less on-guard.

“I am…” There’s a very long pause. “His Father. Deimos. God of Dread. Son of Aphrodite and Ares!” Danny wants to smack him.

Okay, great, Vlad just ‘yes, and’ed Danny from being a demigod to the both of them being full-blown gods in their own right. Sure.

“Yes! I am Phantom…”

Jazz cuts him off to say that his name was Phántasma [φάντασμα] and of course the locals just anglicized it to Phantom from the original Ancient Greek. Danny agrees and goes onto explain how he was a pretty new god – y’know, comparatively – and these were some nice humans who were all considering becoming his priestesses and priest. Sam ducks in to explain how Phantom – sorry, Phantasma, was the god of ghosts finally relinquishing hold on their forms and surrendering to the afterlife. Something chill and small, nothing that would necessitate him getting involved with human affairs and no abilities that would mean any extra attention from the Justice League.

Diana starts to cry, she thought she was all alone in the world and right here was her cousin. All along she had family in the realm of men, family who had been so excited to meet her yet who had not reached out. Unfortunately, Danny made a mistake. Melinoe isn’t Hades and Persephone’s daughter. She’s Zeus and Persephone’s daughter. Diana connects the dots and in a single instant stops crying.

“A baby brother!” She reaches forward to squish Danny’s face.

Jazz takes great offense at that. Danny is her brother (though she can’t admit that). Danny’s at closest, Diana’s half nephew – but since he’s her half nephew on BOTH sides she’s willing to concede him as her full nephew. Diana argues that since her Dad is Danny’s grandfather and great-grandfather plus great uncle, their ichor is close enough that he’s basically her full brother. Ironic as Deimos would actually be closer to being her half-brother. Vlad is a creepy old vampire though, not an adorable teen superhero.

Tucker makes up a very elaborate story about being too insecure to reach out before now. He requests Phantasm’s blessing to convey this story to Wonder Woman so that Danny doesn’t have to say anything.

Valerie gets out a notebook to try and map out this fictional family tree while googling all the deities’ names she doesn’t already recognise. It makes her thankful it is only fictional. Phantasma’s family tree looks more like a Christmas wreath. “Batman” is also trying to figure out the most appropriate relationship between Phantasma and Diana in his HUD.

This is when everyone has made their biggest mistake, not paying attention to Vlad for more than a minute. This is a problem he is thrilled to remedy. His chest swells and he starts to prattle on about how hard it’s been for him as a single father since his beloved Melinoe died in the God War (Wonder Woman’s cinematic canon prequel). Of course, Supergirl asks how they survived, and they say some very broad things about sheltering in the afterlife where Ares could not reach them, as gods are most powerful in their own domain.

Disregarding the fact that if this all were true, Danny would be about 100 years older than her, Diana acknowledges that a child without a mother must struggle and offers to help Danny whenever necessary. If he wanted to, he could come live with her in DC and meet all her superhero friends to help guide him.

They’re scrambling for a reason as to why Danny would turn down this offer. Vlad speaks first. He explains that since his mother’s death, Danny has overtaken her domain as the god of all ghosts and, while Phantom is very clearly not a ghost, he couldn’t possibly leave all his subjects. Especially since the stupid GIW keep attacking father and son. Vlad says that honestly, the US government should be glad that they haven’t smote them, the GIW and everyone else who would challenge them.

Diana is horrified. Ghosts are revolting scum, and her two new family members are full-blooded gods who shine with otherworldly power and definitely not the glow of ectoplasm.

Whenever any of the other superheroes (who are more clear-headed at this time) try and ask any probing questions either:

Danny insists that a mere mortal wouldn’t understand the scope of his abilities

Tucker yells at them for daring to question “Phantasma’s” great authority

Sam insists that she would hate to be told the answer, that everything her god does is for her to decode. She asks what they think the symbolism of Danny robbing a bank could be.

She offers to get them in touch with the president and he could make them both special advisors to the GIW – the JLA had only been called in due to how much trouble the agency were having and bringing two gods in would be a quick way to get the entire situation ship shape.

The flash gets in touch with Phantasma’s high priestess next week, he reassures everyone that the ‘misunderstanding’ is all cleared up. Danny’s officially the CEO of the guys in white.

Hope everyone enjoyed. Masterpost coming soon.

((Dan as Hades???))

Here's "Phantasma's" family tree - simplified

Midge and Lenny's alternative adventures

Enough luxuriating in my feelings about Midge and Lenny's goodbye at the airport. Here are some future adventures I'd love to see them have.

Midge and Lenny go on a tour together but after getting tossed off their train by some Christian fundamentalists they wind up roadtripping across the midwest trying to get to Chicago before their show. Susie forbids Midge from ever gigging with Lenny again.

While on a USO tour of military bases in Europe, Midge gets invited to perform at a diplomatic show in East Berlin. And what do you know? Lenny is also on the bill! It all would have been a fun little trip in and out through Checkpoint Charlie if that cat hadn't decided to adopt Lenny and Midge hadn't been convinced they could smuggle it out. How were they to know the cat already had a (high-ranking) family! Susie reaffirms that gigging with Lenny is verboten.

Midge gets offered obscene money to be one of the headliners on an international cruise. She's been in a dry spell because of some Watergate jokes that were honestly pretty tame! At the last minute Lenny gets added to the bill because the male headliner dropped out. Susie reluctantly agrees that they need the money. Of course trapped on a ship winds up being Lenny's worst nightmare so the two of them make a gettaway in Barcelona. Susie's life becomes a living nightmare for months dealing with the breach of contract.

Midge and Lenny never get married, never even properly date. But, yes, there is so much sex. Great sex. The best Midge has ever had. It's distracting really, which might be why she's always a little relieved when they inevitably have to go their separate ways. Love is one thing, but Midge can never let herself become part of someone else's life again. And Lenny is relieved not to carry that responsibility.

But sometimes they argue. Sometimes they have screaming fights and don't speak for months, even years. Lenny doesn't tell Midge things that Midge feels a real friend would know! (But they don't. Lenny doesn't really tell anyone everything). Midge gets stubborn and won't admit when she's wrong. And boy can she be wrong.

During one extended period, Lenny lets himself get talked into a marrying a nice, funny girl who is sweet to his kid and doesn't mind his dicier habits. She's not that sharp, but she's cool, you know. Easy to be with. Then Midge crashes the wedding and by the end of the night he's ready to follow Midge out to her car and speed away into the desert. The annulment goes through in a matter of weeks.

Midge marries three times. Lenny catches the first one in the paper. Some drunken shenanigans in Las Vegas that got out of hand. Lenny sends her a postcard saying "Mazel Tov." Mysteriously Midge writes back, "Once is an accident, twice a coincidence, three times a fucking problem." The second marriage to the singer was widely covered by the press from the moment they were caught exiting his hotel room in the middle of the night. Lenny sent another postcard, "The thing that concerns me most is your shit taste in music." Six months later Midge sends him a ticket to join her at a Diana Ross concert.

The marriage to the media mogul is the one that really pisses Lenny off. It's in the middle of one of their longest dry spells and Lenny sees it as the culmination of their argument: Midge tying herself to wealth, excess, and privilege instead of the subversive values he thought they shared. He almost doesn't go to the wedding, but a nasty part of him want to see this shitshow go down. The feeling deflates when he finds her crying in the bathroom, only an hour after the opulent ceremony. He offers to take her away, but Midge only dries her eyes and says, "Don't worry. I'm going to make him bleed." The divorce settlement becomes the stuff of legends and Midge has Lenny headline the benefit for Midge's new charitable foundation. The endowment will keep the organization is healthy financial shape for decades.

And maybe, just maybe, Midge and Lenny did get married after all. The captain of the cruiseliner said something about them being husband and wife that night they got tanked as they were heading into Barcelona. Neither properly remembers, or really minds. Marriages are dumb anyway. What matters is who sticks around.

#the marvelous mrs. maisel #the marvelous mrs maisel #midge maisel #lenny bruce #midge x lenny #lenny x midge #luke kirby #rachel brosnahan #I can stop anytime I want #I swear #do you see what happened to this #this is why I am bad at writing meta #somehow it turns into fic #and fic turns into plot #I don't have time for this

Hey buddyyyy I was wondering if you could write about Slytherin male MC discovering their healing powers and healing Ominis of his blindness and Anne of her curse. I’ve read fics of those individually but never together

Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Hey! I love this idea. Fun fact, the first ask I ever sent on Tumblr was to the ever talented @hogwartslegacyreactions and it was how the HL characters would react to Ominis being cured of his blindness. Be sure to check her out! Scarlet is a lovely writer and I adore her blog. I owe much of my inspiration to her This was originally a bit long all together, so I'm going to split it into multiple parts. ONWARD!

Pt. 2

Pt. 3

Pt. 4

The Healer, pt 1

Ominis was definitely frustrated. He was having a lovely night's sleep when the Margaret the Diricawl landed on his chest. I was going to send a Niffler, but I didn't trust any of them to deliver a message swiftly and efficiently. Especially Ricky. I rescued him from a particularly grouchy vendor in Irondale, said he "pilfered the town and should be sent away to Azkaban." The last thing I needed was detention for the little stinker stealing Professor Ronan's hat, or Weasley's glasses. So I sent Margaret with a note tied to her- "Come to the Room please. I have something to show you." She was the sweetest of my Diricawls, one who wouldn't peck my dear friend's eyes out. They were very important to my plan. Anyways, the grumpy Gaunt stumbled into the Room of Requirement, muttering and cursing. "What? This could not possibly be more important than my rest." I laughed. I wasn't sure if it was really early or really late. I had been working for hours. "Oh trust me my friend. It is." I stared at the small vial that was the reason behind all this. A clear liquid glowed inside, occasionally flashing a brilliant blue. "Go sit on the couch." I ordered, and Ominis agreed. I had definitely piqued his interest.

"You told me that your childhood healers tried Phoenix tears and it didn't work." My heart was in my throat. This had to work. For him, for Anne..for everyone. "Right." He replied. "They thought that if that couldn't give me sight, nothing could." He was very stoic, I knew he had long accepted his condition and made it work. "Well. They didn't try everything. Mainly because this didn't exist until now." I brandished the small vial. He blinked slowly. "Wow. How incredible. I am in awe." He said flatly. Oops. "Oh right. Sorry. I call it Miracle Tears." I was tired. Naming stuff is hard, why do you think two of my pets are named Margaret and Ricky? Being creative was hard enough while not sleep deprived, Miracle Tears was going to have to cut it. "And who's tears might they be?" Ominis laughed. It was good to hear his tone shift from sleepy grouch to his usual sarcastic drawl. "Mine. Helios shared some. So did Diana." I replied. Ominis had met my phoenix, and my herd of Unicorns, so he recognized the names. "What? They cried for you?" He sounded shocked. "Yes, they are my bestest friends and they were much nicer when I woke them up." I shot back. "I thought of every healing substance I could think of. Phoenix tears, of course. Then Unicorn blood, but I knew that was out of the question. I consulted with Poppy, and we theorized that the tears could be used to a similar effect. We tested our theory, and we were correct." I didn't mention that our method involved jumping off of the balcony in the Room. "However, it wasn't as powerful, only healing partially." I said sheepishly. "Wait. Was that why Poppy was in the Hospital Wing for three days?!" Ominis more so sounded disappointed in me rather than upset. "You're getting off topic." I was glad he couldn't see my face reddening. "The last healing power I could think of was my own. Isidora went insane by removing pain and absorbing it. I did not want to risk that, so I thought up another way to bottle this power." He was quiet, I could tell he was thinking. "Listen. MC. I know you want to help me and Anne. But we've both made peace with our lives. As hard as it may be to hear, I don't need this." He was right. I knew he didn't. "I know. Sebastian does." I said softly. He was silent. Since the end of last year, Sebastian had fallen into a funk. His punishment of losing his twin sister was wearing too hard on him. He rarely spoke, and ate even less. I worried for him, and I knew Ominis did as well. "If it doesn't work, you can say you told me so and I will forget about it. But he's our friend, and he's slipping. We are losing him." That was enough for Ominis. "Alright. For Sebastian." I handed him the vial and he drank.

Ominis fell to the floor, writhing in pain and clutching his face. Shit. I didn't know what to do, or what to say. "My eyes! They burn!" He screamed. I ran into my potion room, frantically looking for something...anything. Dittany maybe, I can brew a Wiggenweld...I tried to focus, but my friends pained screams were throwing me off. As soon as I was about to scream for Deek, he stopped. He picked himself up off the floor, blinking. "I...can see." Ominis looked up at me. His normally pale eyes had turned into a deeper shade of blue. It worked. "Sorry my ragged mug is the first thing you saw." I laughed. He tackled me with a hug. "This is the world...the real world!" It was quite adorable seeing him staring at everything, his smile lit up the room. "We need to find Sebastian."

Remember the Hitmansion?

After 47 lived there with Diana, Lucas with Olivia in another house, the four of them have finally made it into the same four walls together. 🔽

While I only played with 47 and Diana, Lucas adopted 2 (!) dogs on his own. He loves these dogs more than anything. Guess he really is a dog person. Of course, they also moved in (even if 47 wasn't so enthusiastic at first)

Olivia worked her way up the programming career ladder (she now regularly earns money with her own apps). The house is big and when I'm looking for her, I just have to rattle off the PCs. She'll be sitting at one of them

Diana has decided that her dressing gown is enough for all day and all night and doesn't really change anymore. Instead, she manages the house quite well. She is also on the computers a lot and talks to Olivia. Presumably about work

47 is tidy and mops up after all three of them, including the dogs. But the house looks spick and span. And he has opened a cricket farm. He regularly cuddles these little animals… in return he cooks cricket meals (everyone eats it, surprisingly).

He once had a small accident with an appliance. It's cute how he prefers the bathtub in the basement with the duck to all the other showers and bathtubs.

They are a great house-sharing community. And no one has ever had a fight (yet)!

But they spend 90% of their time in the cellar doing their own stuff. A bit like 47 does in canon...

Much love from the Hitmansion ❤️

#hitman #sims 4 #hitmansion #you're not here for sims updates #you get them anyway #because playing with them is what I miss in Hitman #here they can interact and do stuff #which is nice and gives them a story to tell

Readers, we need to have a talk...

This author must clarify a few things before one can feel comfortable moving forward. While this author values every single reader, whether critic or fan, it is important to understand a few things.

I have been following this craptastic royal saga since 2016. I have read the darkest of rumors, and I have researched most every lead I can. I've been able to find their mortgage documents and how they put their house in a trust owned by City National. I have even posted them here. I've also posted a ton of their business documents and movements. Evidence is king.

I have researched her degree from Northwestern and know for a fact there is no such thing as a dual-degree. I even have the college catalog for courses pre-2008 showing you couldn't get a dual degree with international studies and theatre. Theatre was her major. But everything out there is suspisciously filtered. Does this author believe there have been manipulations made? Absolutely... but I am getting off track here.

The whole point of this post is to explain to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU LOVELY PEOPLE that I have heard, read, and seen it all. I am well aware what people say about those children. I am well aware of all the videos of the swaying moon bump. I have seen all the stuff. Remember, Ashli was a dear friend (in the sense we knew one another online).

I would actually recommend people go back and watch all of her videos, as she brought a lot of good intel to light. Some of it though, was a little out there.

If Ashli were alive right now, she'd be the one on the TVs. Not the other people we see, as she called most all of this stuff long before most. But again, I am off track.

The whole point of my post is to say that I am well aware of more than I write about. There is a reason I don't repeat those things.

There are reasons I don't repeat those rumors that Markus and Meghan have Harry blackmailed into a threesome. Or the rumors that Markus fathered the two kids via surragate as Harry is sterile. Rumors that the Clintons or the NWO put Meghan in place to destroy the Monarchy. Or the rumors Doria was a drug dealer in prison. FYI... I HAVE HEARD WORSE. FAR WORSE.

I've heard rumors that Doria killed her own father to take his home and buy out her half-brother. I've also heard the Royal Family are shape-shifting Reptilian demons who pass their spirits down into the next generation, that Diana was forced into a ritual by Lady Furmoy where the Queen and Philip essentially planted a seed in her or some nonsense (That is a sloppy, most-errored recalling).

There is so much more I could say, but I don't and won't.

My glasses aren't darkened or muddied...

If you don't understand by now how I operate, let me tell you. I use their behaviors to call them out for conning techniques that are tricks of the conning trade. I write about the things I have PROOF to write about. If I don't have proof, I STRESS REPEATEDLY AS DONE BEFORE THAT IT IS HEARSAY AND RUMOR.

If you don't like what or how I write, that is your right as a human being. I could care less. I'm not here to bend my blog to people too lazy to write one for themselves.

The insane stories make the stories that are probably true even muddier. Repeating the craziest of the conspiracy theories take away from our credibility.

All of those stories could be true, but I choose not to accuse other people of being drug dealers when I have searched the public records that all convicted felons cannot escape... each state determines what felonies can be expunged, and most times... they aren't capable of being expunged. Especially drug charges.

There is a difference between me seeing one of them using actual conartist tricks to manipulate others, and then exposing that... and me just repeating what others have already said.

Now, I feel my readers deserve fresh content and perspective that looks at the truth of both of them and who they are. I am experienced, and I am credentialed in human behavior.

I used to be experienced and behaviored in spewing nonsense that sounds like a coke binge, but I refuse to do that here.

Do you all not deserve better from me?

If that is your schtick and you want to do that, I will gladly read and support you for it. WE all have the right to say or express whatever we want.

And if that is the vibe I do send, maybe it's time for me to stop writing on this blog at all.

I'm not bashing anyone, but don't come on here telling me what you think I know or don't. There are reasons I write the way I do, and I am perfectly content with it. If you aren't, gladly remove this blog from your list and have a wonderful day!

That is all.

Could you rec the classic one of them is from a different class?

Yes, we love interclass romances!

Indigo by Beverly Jenkins has an upper class rake from a rich Creole family in New Orleans fall for a freedwoman after she ends up caring for him following his injury as he works as a part of The Underground Railroad.

Forbidden by Beverly Jenkins has a cook fall in love with the rich guy in town who she thinks is white (he's not--he's passing and he's super in love with her).

Butterfly Swords by Jeannie Lin has an emperor's daughter fall in love with a mercenary she meets after her entourage is attacked when she's on the way to marry a warlord.

Between the Devil and Desire by Lorraine Heath--Of course, Jack Dodger is a street rat grown up, and Olivia is a refined duchess. Maybe the ultimate version of this, for me. Like, the opening pages are literally her describing how hot he makes her as she looks at him in a chair and then thinking "..... I MEAN GROSS".

Surrender to the Devil by Lorraine Heath--The next book in the series, she's the former street urchin, he's a duke. Super emotional and romantic and I find that the narrative really challenges the hero to be a better person.

Of course, this is also like... the entire conceit of Lorraine's Sins for All Seasons series, as the Trewloves are illegitimate and they fall for people in the upper classes. Would especially rec:

Beyond Scandal and Desire--Mick is a powerful man of business who decides to ruin his legitimate half-brother's fiancee as a part of Revenge, only to be like "gosh she's pretty" all the time.

When a Duke Loves a Woman--Gillie Trewlove owns as a tavern and doesn't take any shit; she then finds a glasses-wearing hot man duke on the street after he's mugged and nurses him back to health. But he's meant to marry another, oh no!

The Scoundrel in Her Bed--Lavinia, a fine lady, was in love with Finn Trewlove when they were younger, only for fate (and other things) to tear them apart. Years later, he finds her hiding out on the streets and trying to help illegitimate babies who've been abandoned by their parents. Incredibly angsty and emotional second chance romance stuff ensues, and reader, I did cry for real.

Beauty Tempts the Beast--Beast, The Biggest Trewlove, meets a former aristocrat who's fallen on hard time and asks her to teach his employees (sex workers, because Beast accidentally came to own a brothel but wants to help the women get out of the trade what with it being Victorian London) refinement. She says yes, but only if he teaches her seduction so that she can become a rich man's mistress, as she thinks that's all she can do.

Rules for a Proper Governess by Jennifer Ashley--The hero is an upper class attorney, the heroine is a streetwise con artist who becomes obsessed with him (because he's a DADDY) and ends up becoming the governess for his two kids. This hero has an oral fixation and there's a scene where he sucks on her finger and it's great.

S.M. LaViolette's The Seducers series (Melissa and The Vicar, Joss and The Countess, and Hugo and The Maiden) are all about sex workers or former sex workers falling for people from the middle or upper classes. Super hot.

KJ Charles's The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen and The Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel are both m/m interclass romances involving the Doomsday crime family falling in love with lords~.

Marry Me by Midnight by Felicia Grossman has a rich heiress fall for a poor synagogue employee while she's looking for a husband. So rare to find a historical that focuses on the Jewish upper class in England.

The Duke Gets Desperate by Diana Quincy has a duke who's cash poor find out that the castle he thought he owned has been inherited by an Arab-American woman who ends up being his arch rival. Also, he wants to hold her and kiss her and deck her out in gold and fuck the shit out of her.

After Dark with the Duke by Julie Anne Long has a war hero, stuffy duke fall in love with a much younger (17 year age gap) scandalous opera singer. How to Tame a Wild Rogue is a bottle romance by her, in which a fine lady who's become a spinster falls for a roguish privateer. They end up sharing a room at a boarding house during a storm and... dot dot dot.

The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian is a m/m book in which an upper class lord asks a former highwayman to teach him how to crime so that he can steal an important book from his shitty dad. The next book, The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes, has the lord guy's stepmother fall in love with a con artist dude. Unmasked by the Marquess is another queer historical by Cat (m/nb) in which a marquess falls in love with a his new best friend, who is not who they seem to be...

Grace Callaway writes a lot of interclass. Would recommend Pippa and The Prince of Secrets (upper class widow falls in love with crime guy who gave her her first kiss), Glory and The Master of Shadows (duke's daughter falls for a Chinese vigilante guy who's seeking revenge against the people that killed his family; it's very student/teacher), and Her Protector's Pleasure (upper class widow meets detective guy as he helps her look for her missing daughter).

Duchess By Day, Mistress By Night by Stacy Reid has a widowed duchess hire a lower class guy who's risen to be a known fixer to help her find her son's governess when the governess goes missing. He doesn't wanna be paid in money...

A Scoundrel of Her Own by Stacy Reid has a poor upper class woman fall in love with the guy she knew as a kid, who's lower class but now wealthy. He's always wanted her and wants to take advantage of her falling on hard times--but, you know, feelings.

Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas--Annabelle is upper class but poor, Simon is rich but comes from the lower classes. He asks her to be his mistress when her family falls on hard times.

Joanna Shupe's entire Uptown Girls series has the daughters of an upper class New York guy fall for lower class self-made guys (a lawyer/fixer, a casino owner, and a gangster).

Elizabeth Hoyt has plenty: The Raven Prince (earl/his widowed secretary), The Leopard Prince (heiress/her steward), The Serpent Prince (titled lord and a poor girl), Thief of Shadows (widowed lady/middle class schoolmaster), Duke of Midnight (duke/lady's companion to a woman he's courting, though her family used to be fine), Dearest Rogue (duke's sister/her bodyguard), Duke of Pleasure (duke/street urchin), Duke of Sin (duke/his housekeeper).

MONTHLY MEDIA: November 2023

Ooooooh it's getting cold and snowy out here in Ontario! Perfect weather to stay in, curl up, and read/watch/play something.

……….FILM……….

Bottoms (2023) The heightened reality could've been made apparent a little sooner but other than that, no notes. Weird and fun in a way I haven't seen in a while. Big fan.

How The West Was Fun (1994) It took me about 1 hour and 10 minutes to get into this but it finishes strong. And so many great jackets! Ugh I love a good belt buckle.

……….TELEVISION……….

The Crown (Episode 6.01 to 6.02) Okay this is my first dip into the series but having lived (just barely) through a lot of this, I feel like I got caught up fairly quickly. Really feels like the focus is on Diana instead of the Queen, yeah?

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (Episode 1.01 to 1.06) Not what I was expecting and really refreshing for it! The animation varies wildly from episode to episode and I assume it's intentional buuuut sometimes it doesn't quite work for me. If I finish it and enjoy it enough to warrant a rewatch, I'll definitely try it with the Japanese dub.

……….YOUTUBE……….

Mosa Lina by Caleb Gamman This looks like a fun game and, more importantly, the video is a thoughtful divergence into the topic of "genre". Gonna be thinking about the ideas in here for a while. VIDEO

This Woman Deconstructs 100-Year-Old Books To Restore Them | Obsessed | WIRED by WIRED I could watch book restoration all day and I hope this becomes an ongoing series or she starts her own channel. VIDEO

7 Deadly Art Sins by CJ the X Vital watching for any creative type. Don't compare yourself to others (different from learning from others), don't hesitate starting that project you have in mind, and don't be afraid to create stuff you don't like cause it's an opportunity to reflect and grow and move towards making something you do like. Also promise me you won't call it content. VIDEO

Chicago Doesn’t Own Its Own Streets | Climate Town by Climate Town If you ever hear a city councilor mention selling public infrastructure to a private company, send them this link or vote them out. VIDEO

……….READING……….

A Few Fiends To Tea by Virginia Coffman (Complete) Picked this up secondhand for the cover (obviously) and the promise of a dying man using his remaining time to enact some vigilante justice on serial killers. Pulpy fun, right? Well it mostly reads like a mid century romance with a few interesting exchanges peppered throughout. Oh well.

Silver Surfer by Slott & Allred Omnibus by Dan Slott and Michael Allred (Complete) This is what comics can be. Funny, sad, silly, and sincere, all while telling superhero stories that don't exclusively rely on punching to solve conflict. This reads like the best of Doctor Who and I love it all the more.

Delicious in Dungeon Volume 1 by Ryoko Kui (Complete) It seeeeeeeeems like the series is wrapping up so while I wait for the final volume's release I figured I'd start a reread. Knowing where it's going it's fun to see how established the setting and characters are right out of the gate. Just so great and I can't recommend it enough.

……….AUDIO……….

Wag the Doug (Podcast) This is for a very specific audience (folks living in Ontario, Canada that are invested in provincial politics) but if you're a part of that demographic then it's a great way to loosely keep up with what's going on.

……….GAMING……….

Oz: A Fantasy Role-Playing Setting (Andrews McMeel Publishing) The Mof1 Crew is infiltrating a funeral where they know Princess Ozma will be attending. I think their plan is still stuff from the coat check but maybe they'll change course along the way. Never know what I'm going to get with this crew.

Wonderland: A Fantasy Role-Playing Setting (Andrews McMeel Publishing) Got to run this quite a bit this month and testing is going well! Similar tone but very different sort of play from Oz and Neverland and I feel like that's a good thing.

And that’s it. See you in December!

Singed Daffodils (Chapter 4)

Pairing: King Bucky Barnes x Queen Female Reader

Summary: Ever since you had been young, you knew that you were in love with James Barnes. When you were arranged to marry him, you had been over the moon.

Then throughout your short-lived, doomed marriage, you realized he didn't love you. The divorce papers had been written up and just like that, the two of you weren't married anymore.

Thirteen years later, to avoid scrutiny and even more possible scandal, you're marrying him. Again.

But you've learned your lesson now. Falling in love with James will just spell trouble for you.

James however, is determined to undermine your plan. Every step of the way.

Chapter Warnings: Child abandonment, abusive parents, scandal, war, orphaned children, treason, invasion of privacy, angst

Additional Notes: Hello everyone! Welcome to update 2 of 2. I finished this chapter quicker than chapter 3, but considering that this is a double update, I already proofread this and allowed Grammarly to do its magic and stuff before I finished writing up chapter 3.

Hopefully, this chapter isn't too lacking in the interactions with Bucky and the Reader! I wanted them to just relax in this chapter. The chapters going forward will have more interaction between our two leads, but this chapter is kinda filler-ish. But expect more interactions coming up!

As always, if you'd like to read this chapter on my AO3, you can do so here.

Word Count: 4846

Pamela was sitting in on one of her many lessons.

You and James had told her that her education as Crown Princess was going to start while both of you would be gone for your honeymoon.

So, for the past month or so, she had been at lesson after lesson after lesson, furthering her education.

Life at the palace had been relatively quiet. Her Auntie Becca, for the most part— did not unleash giraffes, monkeys, or llamas onto the streets to terrorize the good people of this nation.

The streets, (and people), were safe for the time being.

Her parents had kept her up to date with their honeymoon, mostly through pictures in the group chat. So she had seen the pictures of you and her father at the museum, the pictures of you and her father in the hotel room together (family-friendly, of course), and the pictures of you and her father at the beach. Just enjoying your time together.

Even though she was still just a teenager, she knew that your relationship was far from perfect. It wasn’t every day that two royals remarried for the sake of their child. She had heard the whispers and snide remarks that had followed her after the wedding. Some of the people that hadn’t approved of the union, had sent her sneering looks and gossiped about you behind her back as if they thought she didn’t have ears.

Because even though it had been a long way from medieval times, it seemed that the Madonna Whore Complex was still alive in this country and her home country.

The scandal involving you, James, and Dot still seemed to be alive and thriving in this country. Because yeah, her father’s reputation had tanked considerably. It had.

But your reputation? Dot’s reputation?

James’s ruined, tainted reputation had nothing on how badly both of your reputations had suffered.

From you having to fly under the radar because your father, her grandfather shaming you for the reason being that your first marriage had fallen apart, to Dot being ridiculed and fleeing away with a foreign prince two years later.

Pamela had seen the sly remarks from women, and the vulgar comments from men on the internet when the news had come out that her parents were remarrying again. Very unsavory things. Things that no teenager should find out, or know about their parents.

She wouldn’t be lying if she could admit to herself and only herself that the words didn’t affect her.

They did.

Jesus fucking Christ, this shitshow was like the shitshow that was Princess Diana and Prince Charles all over again!

… did that make Dot Princess Camilla? It did, right?

Yes. Yes, it did.

Oh, for fucks sake!

“Your Highness, are you feeling alright?”

Ajak, the teacher that you and James had hired for Pamela’s lessons gazed at her, concern on her face.

“I’m sorry Miss Ajak,” Pamela apologized quickly. Profusely. “I just… have many things on my mind right now.”

“That’s quite alright,” The Mexican-American woman said kindly. Pamela watched as she closed the textbook that she needed to study through for the lesson today.

“Why don’t you talk to me about it? If you wish to, Your Highness.” Ajak asked.

The older woman saw the young teen sigh a little.

“I…”

She was struggling to find the right words.

The few weeks and months had flown by without her noticing. Perhaps Pamela had been too wrapped up in the happiness that she would be with both of her parents, despite the scandal that hung over the little family’s heads.

“I’m so sorry that you had to be involved in this,” you had whispered to her once you had told her that you had accepted her father’s marriage proposal, and had started with the wedding preparations. Picking out the venue, picking out the decorations, shopping for a wedding dress. Picking out the food menu for the wedding reception and emailing people about their food allergies, which you just seemed to not understand at all.

But other than that… the realization slapped her hard across the face.

Because that was just it, wasn’t it?

In a way, there was a part of her that hated the fact that her father hadn’t been in love with her mother when her mother had. How could her father not love her mother as she had when they were younger? What could there not be that her father couldn’t love about her mother? How could he have been so selfish, being in love with someone else?

That was what she told Ajak. She saw the woman raise an eyebrow of surprise at her bluntness.

“Your Highness,” Ajak began, but Pamela butted in.

“Pamela,” she corrected her.

“Pamela,” Ajak made sure to emphasize her name. “His Highness… you can’t choose who you fall in love with. Your father falling in love with Dot was something that could not be controlled or chosen. Yes, it is very unfortunate that your mother had been in love with your father as children, and he did not reciprocate her feelings.”

“However,” she continued, putting a hand up so that Pamela wouldn’t interrupt her. “It did not mean that your father had the jurisdiction to divorce your mother and replace her with Dot so quickly. That was a mistake on his part. From what I know and understand, your mother’s reputation never recovered.”

“Grandfather would tell my grandmother that she was a mistake,” Pamela answered her hollowly as if her voice was simply nothing but an echo in a long, never-ending tunnel. “That… the marriage was a disgrace, a sham— and having me just made it worse. A broken marriage, and a child that she was keeping a secret from my father. He even suggested sending us back to father’s kingdom because we didn’t ‘belong here anymore.’ It was one of the reasons why he didn’t let us live in the palace anymore. I thought coming here and seeing my father for the first time… maybe it would be good for me. I’ve only seen him in pictures and videos. All I wanted was to see him at least once.”

She could feel her eyes becoming watery as she went on.

“Mother never spoke about him in great detail. She told me what he looked like. What his name was. That he was also royalty, just like her. She showed me pictures. But she never talked about him. Like, the nice things. She avoided talking about him in detail whenever I would ask her.”

That haunted look in your eyes.

Pamela would always see this haunted look in your eyes when she would ask about King James in detail. Simple things like “How was he when you were married?” or “Was he a good father?”

You never answered her.

Now, now she knew why.

The scandal had ripped you apart.

Not literally, obviously.

Figuratively, even metaphorically, yes.

Her mother had been married to one of her oldest childhood friends whom she had been in love with since forever, only to turn out that he never really loved her at all.

But that haunted look in your eyes… she had seen that when people would make leery comments or taunts of her mother’s failed marriage. Like everything had been her fault that everything went to shit. And not at all towards the dude who had fucked all of it up in the first place.

“It’s all my fault!” she wailed, unable to control her tears any longer. Her face scrunched up in despair as she continued to cry, Ajak wrapping her in her arms so that the Crown Princess could let it all out.

“My Princess,” Ajak soothed her, rubbing circles into her back. Comforting her. Giving her the motherly love that she had given all of the children that had escaped together who had found her.

Ajak’s husband had been long gone by the time war had broken out in the Rogers country. Given that Steven came from many a line of Rogers who had ruled with an authoritarian, iron fist. Just like how his father had. Ajak had just come to James’s country, looking for a new job after the unfortunate passing of her husband.

And when the war had broken out, people had fled. Ajak had found a bunch of dirty, saddened-looking, but most of all, scared teenagers who had come to her door.

Sersi. Ikaris. Phastos. Kingo. Gilgamesh. Thena. Driug. Makkari. Sprite.

All of them had been young to adult teenagers, and then there had been the young child Sprite.

Being that Ajak couldn’t have biological children of her own and that after trying for so long that she and her husband had given up, she found it easy to be a mother of nine. A big family, but she would make do.

Now that she was older, and her children had grown up and gone their separate ways, Ajak went back to the job she had before she moved to this new country.

Teaching.

Not only that, but her son Druig, who was married to Makkari, had told his king that his mother was a great teacher. She was very qualified, the man had added cheerfully.

“… it is not your fault. Your father not being in love with your mother was not your fault. Nor was their divorce. You being here is no one’s fault. Life is difficult, Your Highness. You are not the reason why your mother’s father treated her like he did. It isn’t your fault, Your Highness.”

Still, Pamela couldn’t help but feel like the scandal had been somewhat her fault.

“If only I wasn’t so curious,” she sniffed. As a retaliation to Ajak’s statement, almost.

“There is nothing wrong with being curious,” Ajak assured her gently.

Pamela just sniffed.

“I think this will conclude our lessons for today.” she heard Ajak say gently.

She couldn’t be in more agreement.

Much later that evening…

James noticed how tired you were.

Because as soon as the private jet had taken off to go back home, you had fallen asleep.

He had been distracted the entire flight. It would bite him later in the ass because then he was pretty certain that he would be exhausted later. But that was for him tomorrow to figure out and deal with. Not him right now.

Your words echoed in his mind.

I married you for duty.

I married you for comfort.

I married you for our daughter.

I married you for the sake of our daughter.

We should just be separate from now on.

Separate.

As in, not together.

As in, the both of you weren’t going to be sharing a room together.

There was another room next to his in the private apartments for the royal family that was used as a sort of a guest room. At the very most, there was a bed, a little bedside table next to it, and a drawer. And they were all inter-connected. So it wouldn’t be too bad. It wasn’t the end of the world.

But James couldn’t help but continue to think about it.

Even as the jet landed and he gently woke you up.

A sleepy, almost irritated moan just came from you in response.

“We’re home, bubble,” his voice rumbled.

That made you slowly wake up. Your eyes slowly opened, and your voice was groggy when you uttered your next words.

“What time is it?” Your voice was still thick with sleep.

“Two AM,” James even checked his phone which had been charging the entire time.

You just groaned.

“If it’ll make you feel better,” he spoke, “… I could carry you?” he suggested.

You let out a soft little hum.

You even nodded your head.

Scooping you up in his arms after taking off your seat belt, your husband carried you bridal style down the stairs.

In his arms, you stirred and murmured some words that James couldn’t pick up. Heeding it no mind though, he continued to carry you inside of the palace, not even caring if any of the servants who were still on duty or passing by gawked at the sight.

Which, there were a few. A few stragglers who were still at their posts, getting ready to go into their rooms for the night that was sneaking a late-night peek of their King and Queen. As James continued his trek towards the private apartments, he saw at least one or two servants peeking at the sight of their king carrying their queen.

“There’s another room next to mine. You’ll be staying in the middle room between Pamela and me,” James told you. Since you were only half-awake by now, you only sorta caught what he was saying. Slow nods were the only response he got from you.

And that was fine. When he eventually did reach the wing of private apartments that were being used by the little family of three, James pulled out the key that he used for his own apartment locks, considering this apartment also had the same door bolt. The sounds of the door opening caught your attention. Blinking a little, you decided to address the situation.

“What…”

“I’ll have Pietro and Vision help move your things into your new room,” were the only words that James spoke.

Pietro Maximoff, the twin of Wanda Maximoff and one of the King’s attendees, and Vision, who was Wanda’s husband and who worked in the city at a tech store. All three of them lived with Wanda and Vis’s twin boys, where Pietro was known as “Uncle Pietro.” James knew that Pietro liked to spoil his nephews, even when Wanda told him it was unnecessary. After a while, James just deduced that it was just to get under his little sister’s skin. Always a jokester, he was.

A rush of air slapped you in the face as cool air nipped at your skin. It made you blink your eyes and groan a little in irritation.

Feeling your back being placed on something that felt like a soft mattress, you wanted to say something.

Anything.

However, when you willed to speak the words, James had already turned away from you, walked to the door, and gently closed it behind him.

Leaving you completely and utterly alone.

Sometime later that day, in some other wing of the palace...

“Look… I’m not saying it’s a bad idea—”

“… but what you’re saying is, it’s a bad idea.”

“Precisely.”

The sounds of a woman groaning as she thunked her head into her arms were heard, echoing around in the empty room.

Sharon Carter, one of the members of the Barnes Royal Family’s Secret Force and its Leader just stared at the blond-haired man who was sitting across the table from her.

Clint Francis Barton just gave her a considering look as he continued to eat his grapes. He had put lemon juice and sprinkled some sugar on them to mimic the taste of Sour Patch Kids. Something to do with either a cooking hack he saw on Instagram or TikTok.

But he was pretty sure it had been on Instagram.

“I think a nice walk in the park would be a great way to… y’know,” said Sharon, albeit a little awkwardly, even as she fiddled with her thumbs in anxiousness, something Clint never had seen her do. Like ever, in his life. As long as he had known her, really. She never really acted that way around him.

So this was a first.

“To pop the question,” Clint signed back to her, even though his hearing aids were turned on.

“Yeah…” Sharon was nodding her head in kinda a solemn way now.

The blonde woman and the blue-haired woman had quite the history together. See, Sharon was a family friend of the Rogers Royal Family, because of Steve and Peggy’s failed engagement when it had come to light that Peggy had been secretly working with the enemy line during the war in their country. Peggy and Steve’s engagement had been severed, and her older sister had been branded as a traitor and exiled.

The Carter’s were a rich, influential family in the Rogers country, but ever since the scandal, had been made a mockery. Really, the two Heads of the family had been extremely lucky their monarchs hadn’t stripped them of their titles, or worse— taken their money and riches away from them. Harrison and Amanda had pleaded to the Queen Mother Sarah Rogers for mercy and decency, while Sharon had stewed on the scandal.

In truth, she always knew that her sister wished to be more. To be looked at as more than just a ditsy socialite. Peggy Carter always wanted more. More. Her sister was ambitious. Perhaps it had been from the confines their parents had forced her into, and how badly she wanted to be free of them.

But to commit treason against the Crown? Against the Royal Family? Against their own people?

And while yes, Peggy had been a Captain in the Royal Army and was known as Captain Carter to her soldiers and her superiors, Sharon had always heard from her sister through gossip or her own mouth that she had been sick and tired of having to see men all the time. Having to see and answer to men, while she was just a woman.

During the war, Sharon had still been living here, in this country. Because yes, she held dual citizenship with James’s country and her own. For a few years now.

When the scandal and news broke out, Sharon had told Steve that well, she hadn’t really been surprised.

“She’s… always wanted more. More power. More influence. She felt trapped, like me. But this country… it was home. She always told me. And to me, this’ll forever be home in my heart, but…”

Steve saw Sharon take in a sigh. “Maybe… I guess we were sick and tired of pretending all the time. She had to pretend to abide by the rules. Even though seeing men every day made her want to lose her mind. I mean, it’s what I guess went through her head. I don’t claim to be a psychic, Steve.”

With a shrug, Sharon looked at Steve. She didn’t really care if he responded to her or not, but she did want to shed some light on the situation. Even though Peggy had committed treason and was a conspirator against the monarchy, Sharon still found some tiny piece inside of her that felt sympathy for her older sister.

Not empathy. Certainly not. But sympathy, yes.

“She committed treason.” was Steve’s soft tone.

“I know. I’m not disagreeing with you, Steve.” Sharon sighed again, for what seemed like the millionth time that day. She was sitting in the chair that looked across from King Steven in his office that looked like it belonged in some Regency period drama. Books lined the bookcase behind him, and his laptop was open.

“… I’m just trying to provide another perspective. That’s all. She committed treason and went against the laws of this land and she was rightfully punished for it. If I did what she did, I would have wanted to be punished just as she did.”

This, Steve took into consideration.

If he was going to be frank, he always liked Sharon more than Peggy. While he and Peggy were both headstrong and always wanting to be better than they could ever be for themselves, Sharon was mellower. While she always stood up for what she believed in, she wasn’t as hot-headed as he was, or even her older sister sometimes.

Sharon balanced the two Carter sisters out. A Ying and Yang sorta thing. And that was what Steve admired about the blonde woman. Always willing to hear things out instead of bulldozing into situations. A planner. It was why she worked so well within the Barnes Royal Secret Force. Sharon had steadily worked up the ranks, just as how Peggy had done in the army.

Two peas in a pod.

Eventually, his hand came to rest on top of hers.

“I’ve always treasured our friendship, Sharon.”

“I know,” Sharon gave him a soft smile, one that she only reserved for friends and family. “You’re a good friend and a great king, Steve. I know you’ll go on to do good things. Just… don’t fight bullies in alleyways. Cause I really won’t be there to beat their asses anymore.”

Steve just laughed.

From then on, it had just been radio silence from her parents. Sharon suspected that since she hadn’t leaped for Peggy’s defense back when she had been on trial, that she didn’t love the family anymore or some shit like that.

Sharon loved her family. She did. Her parents had been loving and supportive all throughout her childhood and even were supportive of her decision to move to this country to pursue the job that she was now the leader of. Hell, they were even supportive of her relationship with Nebula. The only other person who she felt could understand her like no one else could.

But Peggy…

She always oddly felt as if sometimes, or in moments her parents thought she couldn’t comprehend or see that between the two of them, Peggy was the one who was favored just the slightest bit more.

And when Sharon told her parents that no, she wouldn’t be defending Peggy in trial and that what Peggy did had well deserved her to be put where she was; in front of the entire nation, stripped of all her titles, especially as Captain of the Roger Royal Army, and to be banished, branded, commended as a traitor and exiled from their great country— her parent’s true colors shone into the light. Like the soft colors of the rainbow on a glass-stained window in the church cathedral.

Her parents had called her a disgrace to the family name and announced that they were disowning her and that if she were to ever marry Nebula, that no, her father would not be walking her down the aisle, and no, they would not be attending the wedding either. And no, if she and Nebula were to ever adopt, that no, they would not be acknowledging the baby as their grandchild.

So basically after all that drama and jazz, Sharon had blocked her parents on everything and everywhere, and went no contact.

Life was better if she was gonna be totally honest. She had made a new home here, with friends and loved ones alike. She and Natasha Romanov-Barton were as thick as thieves and she was for certain that she and Nebula would be very concerned if Natasha or Gamora would fit the bill for their Matron of Honor.

But that would have to do for later. That would be discussed later.

Right now however, Sharon pulled some papers and pictures from her workbag so she could show them to Clint.

“I did some digging last night on the person who might be the person who took pictures of Her Majesty and the Crown Princess.”

Up Clint sat. A more serious expression overtook his face as he popped another grape in his mouth.

Munch. Munch. Munch. Munch.

“What kinda pictures have you found?” Was what he said once he swallowed his fruit.

“You’d be better looking at them at the meeting,” Sharon told him. “Aw man!” complained Clint as he threw his hands up in surrender. “That’s so anticlimactic!”

All Sharon did was just laugh at him.

At the meeting…

“Clint! Put away your grapes!”

“What? Why? These are my grapes! I took a lot of time to clean them and put lemon juice on them and put sugar on them!”

A collective groan echoed through the conference room.

There probably was someone who even banged their head onto the table too.

But a certain raven-haired man cheerfully spoke up.

“Yeah. And I heard they’re supposed to taste like Sour Patch Kids. Do they actually taste like Sour Patch Kids?”

Clint could almost drop to his knees and kiss the man’s feet.

Turning his head, he announced to the entire room. “See! Druig gets it! I always knew I could count on you understanding me.”

“That’s because you both have the same brand of crazy,” was what Druig’s wife Makkari signed to him.

Scowling at her, Clint signed back to the deaf woman. “No. It just means we’re kindred spirits.”

All she could offer him was an eye roll in response.

Druig meanwhile, just popped a grape into his mouth and chewed.

“Dude!” he exclaimed happily, slapping Clint’s back. “It does taste like Sour Patch Kids!”

“I know right!” Clint happily replied back.

Everyone in the room sans Clint just sighed.

Any more mentions of Clint’s DYIed grapes were silenced because just then, the door opened.

Revealing His Majesty, Her Majesty, and the Crown Princess on the other side.

Everyone stood at attention at once. Kinda like if they were in the military and their superior just walked in.

“Your Majesties,” was the heard chorus that flowed around the room.

They even curtsied or bowed to the three monarchs in respect.

“Can I have some of your grapes?” Was the only thing Pamela asked Clint shyly.

The blond man beamed at her while everyone else, (excluding Druig), groaned.

“You’re officially my favorite royal.” The deaf man announced as Pamela giggled and ate a grape once she sat herself down.

Natasha noticed that Yasha and his wife, while they smiled, didn’t look at each other. She watched with a critical eye that the two royals instead made their way to their seats, and sat down.

“Has there been any news?” His Majesty asked politely.

Sharon Carter cleared her throat. Everyone’s eyes turned to her. “I found some pictures last night of the person who might be the one who took the photos of Her Majesty and the Crown Princess, Your Majesties. Although… this is still a working theory.” The head and leader of the secret guard regarded quickly.

Pulling the pictures out of her workbag, she arranged the photos she managed to print in color and in HD. Spreading them all out in the middle of the huge conference table, allowing everyone to take a look at them.

A collective rush of whispers filled the room.

“Oh my…” that had come from Phil Coulson. His husband Nick Fury on the other hand, well, the Black man just scowled at them.

“This seems very concerning and odd,” was what Makkari signed to her king, who gave her a nod. His jaw was tight as he observed them himself, and poor Pamela was in her seat, eating another grape in hopes that it would calm her growing anxiety.

This unknown person, a man by the looks of it from the photos had taken pictures of her and her mother without their permission.

Sure, paparazzi was a thing. But Pamela had always been aware that the paparazzi would’ve loved to know her existence.

But taking unsolicited, private photos and leaking them onto the internet was a whole other thing within itself.

Paparazzi, she could live with.

But this?

This?

No.

Absolutely the hell not.

“He seems to be a young man in his thirties. Dark-haired and brown-eyed. Looks to be of a broad build. I haven’t done digging on what company he works for, but I’ll get onto it as soon as this meeting is over. We’ll find them Your Majesties.” Sharon promised the trio.

“Thank you,” You kindly thanked her, a gentle smile on your face.

“Right… so what I was thinking about this was…”

After the meeting concluded, everyone shuffled out, excluding James and Natasha. Clint had kissed his wife’s forehead, telling her excitedly that he would see her at home, and that they would be indulging in dinner tonight.

Needless to say, Natasha was excited. Out of the both of them, Clint was the better cook. Natasha’s only skill was making rice in a rice cooker because of Daisy’s interference, and mac and cheese from her younger sister Yelena’s obsession with Kraft mac and cheese.

Because seriously, how much hot sauce could one put in mac and cheese, for fucks sake!

And that was all Natasha was good at. Cooking wise. Drinks wise, she was a real wiz. She knew how to make chai, the authentic way. Along with boozy drinks or nonalcoholic drinks.

But cooking and she would never be friends. Baking, either. Forget it.

What she was good at though, was being a spy for the royal family. She had served loyally to the monarchy and believed in her king. Y’know, scandals aside. She didn’t really like to think about that. She had her own personal feelings that she wouldn’t allow to interfere with her work.

So when she lightly touched James’s hand in reassurance, as a gesture of goodwill, she saw James’s shoulder lightly sag as he exhaled.

“It’s okay, Yasha,” the redhead assured the reigning monarch gently.

“We’ll find him, Yasha. Everything’s going to be alright.”

James didn’t answer her.

This could’ve been attached to my last post but I didn’t think I was gonna be mentally ill all the way into 6 in the morning (ADHD time works different than regular time and I hate it)

ANYWAYS allow me to discuss these two. Under this little read more tab. If you wanna hear about my stupid gay ass simping for this beautiful old lady. I mean I certainly don’t see a ring on that finger.

OKAY SO I imagine that at some point Virus ends up hitching a ride on the Brave Asigiri and when Diana joins the gang it’s love at first sight for Virus. Like at first she’s like “oh yeah I just think she’s cool” but then she realizes she wants to do things like hold hands and hear her voice and she’s like OH NO. AM I GAY??? Because she’s like 21 at this point, I changed her age cause I’m turning 22 in a couple weeks but anyways, she’s gone through 21 years of her life assuming she’s straight. Meanwhile Diana’s already come to terms with her bisexuality and is quite comfortable with the identity she’s come to know over her 60-ish years, I just put 64 as like an approximation and also it’s like Super Mario 64 which is pretty cool.

Before Diana leaves, Virus finally ends up confessing and Diana already knew Virus was down bad cause Virus’s eyes were always filled with yearning whenever she looked at Diana. But Diana says that this isn’t gonna work cause she’s gotta go and adventure, and Virus is fucking distraught but of course she respects Diana’s wishes. HOWEVER even when Diana does leave she just cannot get Virus out of her mind, so at some point afterwards she sends her squakabilly to give Virus a letter, and they end up meeting again and going on adventures together. Cause Virus is a homebody, but as soon as she met Diana, she became her new home.

They’re pretty great together since Diana is an ambivert and Virus has an anxiety disorder, so Diana can speak up for Virus in public situations but they can also just have quiet vibing hangout sessions. Virus doesn’t fully understand Diana’s passions all the time since she’s admittedly a bit dense but she always listens when Diana wants to share information about Rakua with her.

This paragraph is a tad risqué

Virus is definitely more of a like, naughty thinker I guess, but she feels embarrassed and weird about it so she doesn’t usually say anything until Diana teases it out of her. Meanwhile Diana is fully aware of how dirty minded Virus can be and she loves messing with Virus just to make her get all flustered and red in the face, sometimes whispering an innuendo in her ear or discreetly squeezing a part of her body. Since Diana is experienced with these sorts of things, she knows the exact buttons to push in order to make Virus squeal.

Ok that’s it for the risqué stuff. I know it was pretty tame but I like to add warnings just in case

Both of them have their bodily insecurities, with Virus dreading her round face and pudginess and Diana worrying that her golden years are over, but they both completely adore every single bit of each other. Virus has always been into older people, wrinkles and stretch marks and cellulite drive her absolutely insane so of course she would find Diana attractive. Meanwhile Diana loves Virus’s round face and pudgy body because she finds her to be absolutely adorable.

They’re both fairly competent when it comes to pokemon battling, Virus has her drizzile as her ace and of course Diana has her arcanine. If I had a nickel for every old person with an arcanine I crushed on I’d have two nickels. Anyways since they can cover each other’s weaknesses they make for a great team. While Diana goes for speed, Virus goes for power.

Alright like I said it’s 6 am so I need to go to bed, I was planning on going to bed at 12 but obviously that did not happen, I can see the sun peeking through my window god help me. As always if you guys got any questions you can ask, if you’re interested in this pairing let me know before I end up fixating on Cookie Run again, all that good stuff 👍

#pokemon horizons diana #pokemon diana #oc x cc #oc x canon #self ship #idk if I should put this in the main pokemon horizons tag #like does anyone really wanna see me thirst over Liko’s grandma #also idk how tall Diana is I just guessed #ok bedtime for realsies goodnight #my art

Imagine that you have a time travel machine. It allows you to:

a) go back to any time period,

b) travel to the future (any time period),

c) either:

go back to an earlier stage of your life, which would allow you to repair any mistake or make a different decision, either,

travel to your own future.

With options a) and b) you are anonymous. With option c) you are a younger or older version of yourself.

You have all the knowledge, physical strength and skills you currently have. While traveling in time, you can talk to people from the past/future, see buildings or animals that no longer exist or have not yet been built/born, eat unknown foods, give suggestions to your favorite book authors, directors, YouTubers, artists, etc.

You can influence the course of history only in option c) and only about your life. You can't change history in option a) or b), but you will remember everything that happened during your time travel (for example, a talk with your favourite authors or actors).

You can use the machine up to 3 times, but you don't have to use every option and you are allowed to use one option more than once.

What would you choose? (You may also say no to a time-travel, of course).

Thank you so much!

LOVE the idea of this.

OK so I don't want the responsibility of going back to change my own life--there are some things that I want to change, but I also have a strong certainty that the bad things that happened brought me to where I am now, and I'm content enough with that not to want to alter the timeline too extremely. That feels intimidating. So I think I'd want to take a gentle tourist's jaunt to the past. I love history, so I'd look around medieval Italy, Edwardian England, Puritan America. I'd figure out a way to visit Charlotte Bronte, Virginia Woolf, L.M. Montgomery (and ask her what the hell she was doing with Dean Priest!), Diana Wynne Jones. I'd make a brief stop in the 90s and say hello to my parents while they were in college. All very TARDISy stuff.

Tbh I don't feel like the Ren/Nora/Victor thing felt like a repeat of the Blake/Yang/Diana thing, but in a bad way?

Like... with BYD, Yang seemed to realize instantly that she'd said something that made Blake upset which wasn't even actual flirting and just quietly course corrected the rest of the movie and made sure Blake felt supported by her + Diana wasn't at all interested in either of them, which left room for the three of them to actually talk and become friends (I actually really loved their friendship stuff).

RNV on the other hand was just very... weird? On Victor's end, it's weird that he's super into this random teenager he just met (which is impossible to handwave as him feeling like a teen too since he's also the one who takes a dig at Ruby, who's only two years younger than Nora, for being a teen and too young to lead) and even if that hadn't happened he still knows he's actually an adult. Plus, given their relationship, it seems weird that Nora would be upset to see Ren acting a little lot jealous, considering how badly she wanted him to admit he reciprocated her feelings... especially during the early Atlas arc.

And again, unlike with Blake, Yang, and Diana who talked and formed a bond... Victor and Ren's resolution was just "oh look, we can fight together to save the girl we both like" which again... makes no sense as a plot point and doesn't resolve anything between them... while also kinda reducing Nora to a damsel in distress and not having her be a part of resolving the issue, which isn't great since she was upset (regardless of how I feel about it).

this is actually a great way to put it!! the byd thing felt very natural: imo it makes total sense for yang to have a small thing for diana, she’s definitely her type (dark-haired women who could kick her ass), and it makes sense for blake to be jealous because we’ve never seen her have to compete for yang’s attention before, yang’s only ever had eyes for blake. and diana not having any personal involvement with either of them makes the whole thing seem distant, so it’s much more a blake and yang thing rather than something involving diana.

i think in terms of the victor and nora thing, they should’ve just leaned in on victor being more fascinated with nora’s tech rather than anything else, kind of like entrapta from she-ra. it felt weird to turn it into a romantic thing, especially since, like you said, it ended up being a “we can team up to save the girl we both like” sort of deal rather than finding an actual resolution. which is sad, because i liked victor outside of that.

i feel like byd is the only dc/rwby combination that made any sense in a romantic lens, again since the only romantic part of it was between blake and yang. i personally didn’t see weiss and bruce’s relationship as romantic at all, but i do think it was intended that way despite it, and of course there’s the victor and renora deal. that’s why jaune and jessica’s duo was my favorite, because they were friends who could help each other by their similarities and understanding of the other’s problems, and i feel like the other character combinations should’ve been written more like that.
