Riptide
The sun and sand, some tasty waves, and a salt-filled breeze are all Derek needs.
Somehow, Stiles works his way into the equation.
[excerpt]:
Stiles looks out toward the water. The sun's rays catch him at an angle that makes his eyes look golden, and Derek can see the individual grains of sand that dust his face.
"You know the worst thing about it all?" Stiles asks softly. "It's that I'm going to be known forever as the goofy sidekick on a kid's show. Like, that's my legacy."
Derek takes a deep breath. He can relate. He was once considered a prodigy in the surfing world: touted as the next Kelly Slater after he'd won several local competitions right out of high school and then the Billabong Pipeline Masters at twenty, followed by a second-place finish at qualifiers for the US Open of Surfing. The recognition was heady; the groupies and sponsors, more so. And then there was Kate, who had entered Derek's life as hot and quick as wildfire before razing his world to the ground.
Part of the @sterekreversechallenges Sterek Reverse Bang 2023. Based on @wolfspurr 's beautiful, summery mood board prompt.

@suncaptor's Birthday Event
Sam & Lucifer // Sam & Dean
You know I'd never hurt you. Not really.
image description: scene comparisons between "The Benders," "Simon Said," "Free to Be You and Me," "Sam, Interrupted," "Swan Song," "Hello, Cruel World," "The Born-Again Identity," "Citizen Fang," "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here," and "Let the Good Times Roll"
1x15: Sam is trapped behind iron bars, and Dean tells him, “Must be getting a little rusty there, kiddo.”
5x22: While possessing Sam, Lucifer looks into the mirror to tell him, “You got me all wrong, kiddo.”
7x02: Dean looks at Sam and says, “Oh, you think I’m Dean. Right.” He grins and then the hallucination changes, morphing into Lucifer.
9x01: In Sam’s mind, Death watches as Dean puts a hand on Sam’s shoulder, saying, “Come on.” Then he begins to glow with light, and Sam looks confused as his face morphs into that of Gadreel’s vessel.
5x11: A psychologist opens Dean’s file, and says, “You’re my paranoid schizophrenic with narcissistic personality disorder and religious psychosis.” Dean looks rattled listening to this diagnosis.
7x17: Sam is on his bed at a hospital, and the hallucination of Lucifer sits behind him reading from a large book, saying, “Narcissistic personality disorder. Okay, now, this one I could have.”
5x03: Dreaming, Sam turns over in bed and jolts, surprised to see Jessica. She smiles at him and says, “Hey, baby. I missed you.”
8x09: Sam sits in a bar and takes out his phone, considering the text message he believed was sent by Amelia. The text reads: [Sam, I need your help. Come quick]
2x05: Dean glances at Sam and away while driving the Impala. He slaps a hand on Sam’s leg and offers a weak smile, saying, “You’ve always been a freak.”
13x23: Lucifer tries to avoid bringing Maggie back to life at Jack’s request, saying, “Right, well, Sam’s always been… sorta different.” He smirks.

You should totally cosplay as Randvi in your own time of course! I would love to see that. Do you plan on making a hand made costume? Or a store bought one? I know you can buy costume for Eivor as it’s more popular but not for small characters such as Randvi
Also are you doing it on your own or with friends? Are you going to a comic con?
I’m sorry you have depression and feel tired and burnt out. It sucks I know. I’ve had it before. I really hope that you can get better with time and if you ever need someone to talk to I’m here for you. You’re not alone in this. That’s all I wanted to say ❤️
heyy💕 I‘ve wanted to make it myself with things I can buy and put together and then make her brooches and more character specific things myself. sadly there are no costumes available for her and I‘m not very experienced in making costumes etc. I‘ll also do it on my own because my friends aren‘t AC fans haha and I doubt anyone is going to recognize Randvi, since I haven‘t met any AC cosplayers on cons I went to yet. Maybe I should try going to a gaming specific con then. If anyone wants to go to a german con as valhalla or odyssey people together though? Let‘s go! Yeah right I mostly go to one or two cons a year here in germany and I go with friends but they aren‘t into AC but other things so it‘s fine and we can mentally support each other haha. Cosplaying is scary but Randvi‘s outfit looks pretty comfortable especially for winter conventions. Maybe I‘ll set the goal to make her brooch-like jewellery in the new year.
Ah, it‘s mostly fine! This year I just feel like so much has been going on and it‘s all kind of weighing down especially with family stuff and now that it‘s holiday season it‘s extra noticeable so sometimes I‘m feeling extra bummed out this season and like there is so much to do all the time but thank you so so much I appreciate it🩷 you can of course also always message me and I‘m here!❤️
