Hi, Cutie.
It makes their smile grow and a flush curl on their cheeks embarrassingly easily. Geordi's always been able to make them feel incredibly warm inside, and today isn't an exception, regardless of how he's feeling.
Ao3 link
Geordi is sweet, soft hearted, and all together a ball of nerves that deserves all the care they can provide for him. Dating him has been good- he's kind, conscious about trying to understand the empowered world, and has been a grounding force while they're navigating the reveal of their powers as a telepath in the relationship.
He's also astonishingly trusting, especially considering everything he's been through, and they wish desperately they could take away those fears of being too much.
It's surprising, to hear the front door click open but to not hear a greeting from him after he hangs up his coat. Usually, he greets them at the door, and invites them to listen in on his thoughts if they want to, but he's concerningly quiet tonight.
They slip off the couch to greet him in the hallway with a kiss, leaning down a little to hold him close for the duration of it. It's nice to feel him melt into them, gripping their shirt to hold them close to him.
"Hey, Cutie," Geordi breathes.
"You okay? I didn't hear you call out when you got home," they sign out, eyebrows pulled down to infuse concern into the sign and resisting the urge to peek into his head without asking.
He sighs a little bit, shrugging. "It wasn't...bad? Just a rough day, I guess." There's a short pause, then he perks up "you can, um. Join me, if you want. In my head, I mean."
They smile a little, poking into his head and
Hi, Cutie.
It makes their smile grow and a flush curl on their cheeks embarrassingly easily. Geordi's always been able to make them feel incredibly warm inside, and today isn't an exception, regardless of how he's feeling.
You are here, right? Today sucked. I missed you.
Work was long; too long.
Glad to be home. Glad to be with you.
Their heart feels mushy, and they pull him up into another, longer kiss that makes him lean out of his wheelchair the slightest bit. It's sweet and soft, more chaste than usual, and it's unbelievably nice to hear his thoughts, full of affection, while they're kissing him. They’re unable to stop the little smile on their face listening to his thoughts, so obviously full of love for them.
Love your smile, it's so cute.
Cutie.
I'm here, they confirm, eyes still shut.
Glad you're home, Geordi. I missed you. I'm sorry work sucked.
He shakes his head a little, squeezing their hand when the two of them part.
Still don't feel great. I need a shower.
Ugh.
Don't wanna.
"It's okay, it wasn't even anything big. Just...I dunno. Didn't feel great."
Love you; stay with me?
The telepath squeezes his hand, then releases it to sign out "I'll stay. Want to get takeout or watch movies on the couch tonight? I'll stroke your hair."
Takeout from my favorite place…
But I'm not hungry.
Ooo, cuddles on the couch!
It's a bit of a bribe, but it works, so they don't feel too guilty.
Love cuddling you.
So soft, so cozy.
"I still need a shower," he admits aloud, regretful.
I'm tired.
Don't wanna shower- want to cuddle. Showering sucks. Until you're in the water, I guess. Then it's nice.
Until you have to get out again.
Cold.
They hum, signing out, "together?"
Ooo showers together.
Warm.
I could wash their hair- or they could wash my hair.
I've never had someone wash my hair for me.
Their hands always feel so good. Soft hands; bet it'd feel good.
His thoughts feel a tad wistful, though still with his patent brand of excited happiness, and they smile a little at how easy it is to get him to think in tangents. The fact his previous partner didn't ever wash his hair for him isn't especially surprising considering what they know, but it's still something that makes them ache to remedy that as quickly as possible.
"Yeah, Cutie," he smiles, dimples showing on his cheeks "I'd really like that, if you don't mind."
Shit, do they mind?
No, they wouldn't offer if they didn't want to.
I don't think- would they?
They squeeze his hand quietly, and press their thoughts back against his.
I don't mind, Geordi. You deserve to be taken care of.
He nods, but his smile is a little more wobbly. It's something he struggles with, but is working on, and they're happy to see him accept that he deserves care either way. It's progress, even if there's a way to go.
"Start the water, I'll be in in a minute?" They sign, twisting their pointer finger emphatically for start, making him perk up. "Start without me, I'll pull up a show to watch when we finish showering."
Geordi gives a big smile, pulling them into a kiss before wheeling away to start the shower with a little wiggle in his seat, the Tetris theme bouncing around in his head.
It makes them smile, endlessly endeared with him.
They quietly pull up a movie that both of them have been wanting to watch- something about humans and robots in space, they don't fully remember the plot.
It'll be a nice break for both of them after the inversion. He’s been their shoulder to lean on, even knowing next to nothing about the empowered world, and the stress has been wearing on both of them. A night on the couch together eating junk food is so blissfully normal in a way they haven’t had in a while, and honestly they’ve missed things like that in the wake of everything.
The telepath pads across the wooden flooring of their apartment and into the tiled bathroom, little stray thoughts bubbling up from their partner while he messes with the water.
Too hot. Shit, now it’s too cold! There. Maybe that’s better? They like it hotter than I do, maybe I should turn it up…
They slide their hearing aids off and set them on the little stool just outside of their bathroom before sliding their arms around him from behind, feeling his spine stiffen in surprise where he’s hunched over to check the water temperature of their shower.
I can adjust the water too, Geordi.
He straightens up and leans back against them, muscles going from bunched up under his shirt to soft and relaxed the longer he leans into them like this.
Feels good. Love your hands on me, always feels good. Warm. Like home.
That makes the telepath smile, pressing their lips to his shoulder through his shirt with a hum that vibrates their vocal chords but is muffled to their own ears without the hearing aids. Honestly, they prefer it that way at home though. It feels less overwhelming after a day of listening to every little noise at the Department alongside with listening in on other people’s stray thoughts.
They retract their arms from around him with one last little squeeze to his midsection, tapping his shoulderblade to get him to turn around.
Taptap. Oh, I should turn around. You probably want to say something.
Stupid. I should’ve realized.
He turns around, and the telepath frowns, signing out “Not stupid, Geordi,” and jutting their hand forwards for not with a little more force than they usually sign with for emphasis.
So sweet to me. So kind. Always so sweet.
I love you.
“I know,” he signs back, kissing their forehead “c’mon, that show is calling our name.”
What was it called?
Space Sweepers? No. That’s a movie. Strange New Worlds maybe?
His signing is a little bit more clumsy and slower than their own, but he’s very careful to sign correctly after accidentally signing make-out instead of work to a stranger. The memory makes them laugh a little, unable to stop themself from doing it.
Remember when you signed make-out to that guy at the coffee shop? They think, pressing the thought against his own stream of thought. It makes him grumble, but he’s laughing.
One time! It was one time, Cutie!
So mean to me.
Cute, though. Always cute.
They grin, sneaking a hand up his shirt and kissing him for several long seconds before pulling back and spreading their left hand out to sign “off,” with a gesture to his shirt.
Shirt off. They want my shirt off.
Of course they want your shirt off, Geordi, you’re showering together.
Cutie slides their own shirt off, and there’s a flurry of thoughts too quick to parse through from their partner going from shit to they’re hot to I love their body. It always warms them down to the toes, listening in to how unabashedly he likes how they look.
Their shirt gets thrown on the ground while they shuck off their pants, and Geordi finally starts pulling off his shirt after a few seconds of staring appreciatively.
Once the two are completely bare, he pulls them together to kiss again, bare skin pressed against theirs. He’s warm, and feels undeniably good against their front while he leans up to press his lips into theirs. Even after pulling away, he lingers there for a few seconds longer to breathe them in, eyes shut so his lashes cast shadows on his skin.
Smells good.
We’re using up the water. Don’t care.
The telepath gently pushes him away, pointing both of their pointer fingers to sign out “go,” in reminder while a smile plays on their face.
He goes.
Shit! Water is too hot again. I must’ve turned it up too high.
They slip into the shower with him and press a kiss to his shoulder with a soft hum while the water turns a touch colder. Less scalding and more warm this time.
Better, I think.
Hi, Cutie. You’re warm.
He turns around when they tap him in the shoulder so they can sign out “you too,” with a quick back and forth gesture.
Everything is much quieter without their hearing aids, and the lack of noise is a blessing after such a busy day. The loud water from their shower has softened to a low murmur, barely discernible, and even Geordi’s voice is muffled enough now that they can’t make out anything other than a low rumble.
Cute. Love you. Love seeing you.
The telepath leans down to kiss their partner with an arm around his neck and he melts into it, eyes shutting.
Kiss. Love kisses.
So warm.
Using all our water.
He presses his body against theirs and they nip at his lip.
So worth it, who cares about the water.
Cutie can’t help the little smile that causes as they pull away, registering a flurry of half-hearted complaints that fly through his head.
“Sit?” they sign out, pressing two fingers down with a quizzical expression “I know your legs hurt when you’re standing too much. That’s why we got the shower chair, Geordi,” the telepath reminds.
He pauses, then nods slightly and sits down on the plastic stool-like chair they’d gotten a few weeks ago, leaning into them while they adjust the showerhead so it won’t be in his eyes the entire time.
Thanks, Cutie.
Cutie hums -a vibration of vocal chords that goes mostly unheard to their own ears- and presses a kiss to his wet hair.
“Can I wash your hair?” they sign, pressing two closed fists together to sign wash after pointing to him.
He lights up, that bright smile already taking over his face and bringing out the dimple he only gets when he smiles really big like this. It makes their heart ache, and the flurry of affectionate, pleased thoughts are almost too quick to parse through.
Wash me? Wait, no, I missed a sign.
Wash my…hair? That’s what that means, right? The little plucking by your hair?
Yes, please.
I want that.
You’re so sweet. I love you.
The telepath grabs his shampoo, overhearing a little yesyesyes yes, they’re gonna wash my hair rush through his thoughts.
Yeah, Geordi, the plucking sign means hair, they affirm through thoughts of their own in his head. A pleased expression crosses his freckled face at that. He hadn’t been good with sign when he started learning, so now every time he gets some of it right unexpectedly he seems excited.
Cutie gently nudges him to tilt his head back while they get his hair wet, then pops open the shampoo bottle. They know it makes a satisfying little click, even if they can’t hear it right now, and they lather their hands with it before working it into his thick hair.
His eyes slide shut and his mind goes still and quiet for several long seconds, seemingly drinking the feeling of it in. Their nails gently scratch at his scalp and his mouth opens- to say something or to sigh they’re not sure.
Feels good. So good.
Your hands always feel so good, Cutie.
Fondness curls through them while they work shampoo into his hair even after it’s thoroughly been lathered up and they could wash it out. He seems so content, and it’s just…so nice to see him like that. He deserves to feel like that, and knowing they can give him those feelings feels special somehow.
Their hand gently cups the back of his skull and tilts his head back, tapping his forehead with their free hand in warning to close his eyes. His entire body is loose and relaxed, slumped over in the shower chair and resting his head in their hand without a second though. Only a flitter of thoughts.
Back? Head back?
Eyes closed.
Holding me.
Feels safe. Always safe with you.
The water sprays through his hair and washes out the foamy suds from his curls.
Warm. So warm.
Feels good, Cutie. Your hands in my hair, the water.
What show are we watching again?
That makes them laugh, the little tangent he goes off on with the theme to some video game running just beneath all his thoughts during the small sections of quiet.
What? Don’t laugh at me! I don’t remember!
So mean, laughing at me.
Guess you can’t hear it if you laugh without your hearing aids, though. I mean, kind of, right?
You always tell me you can feel when I speak because my chest rumbles.
The telepath gently combs through his wet hair and guides his head back up, pressing a kiss to the wet skin of his temple while he opens his eyes again.
“Thank you, Cutie,” he says. They think.
Lip-reading isn’t foolproof, but they have a lot of practice, and being able to hear his thoughts is undeniably helpful.
Frowning, why?
Unsure.
Did I say something wrong?
Too much. I’m being too much again, just like-
They pull out of his mind abruptly, shaking their head emphatically. “Never too much,” the telepath reminds him with a soft kiss when they finish signing.
He softens with a little smile and leans up to cup their cheeks to hold them close. It’s half bent down, but made worth it by the way his body softens again, not unsure of himself anymore. They slip back into his thoughts, hesitant, and press an I love you into his thoughts.
“Lip-reading’s hard,” they sign. “Was guessing what you said.”
Oh.
My fault. Should’ve signed.
Sorry, Cutie.
Cutie shakes their head lightly in dismissal, kissing him again.
Kiss. Kissing me.
Yeah.
Love kissing you.
They pull back after several long moments, lingering there to trade little chaste kisses with their partner. Geordi’s a good kisser- he takes his time, drinks them in like this, and the way he always seems to melt into them is a hefty bonus.
On a different night, it would work them up, but tonight it just makes them fond as they grab his conditioner bottle and tap their chest then point toward him in silent request.
Predictably, he grins until the dimple on the left side shows again, and nods several times as if he needs to enthuse them properly so they know just how much he likes the idea.
They pop the cap and pour some into their palm, one hand cupping the back of his head to guide him a bit while they rub conditioner into his hair. Honestly, it’s criminal that he’s never had his hair washed by a partner before because it’s so soft.
Feels good. So good, always good if it’s you.
Did I lock my car? Shit.
Who cares. Check later.
Their hands massage conditioner into his hair and his head falls back a little like putty beneath their hands. His shoulders gradually melt, and that pinched up furrow in his brow that’s been there since he got home slowly softens into nothing the longer they spend like this.
Finally- and not without regret- they wash his hair out again and gently tap his shoulder so he’ll open his eyes.
“Wash you?” they ask, rubbing their hands together with a quizzical expression.
Wash me?
Oh- oh.
Wash my body?
His bright eyes look up at them and he nods, pulling them in by the waist to kiss them beneath the water.
We’re gonna run out of hot water if we keep getting distracted, Geordi, they think, but make no move to stop kissing him.
This time he's the one to pull back, amused fondness on every inch of his face.
I like you distracted, Cutie.
Touching me, kissing me.
No- don’t think about that now. Later. Maybe.
The telepath laughs, soaping up a rag with the body wash he loves so much while he tries very hard to redirect his line of thought. Both of them are too exhausted tonight for anything like that, though, and it simmers out after a few long moments of rubbing the washcloth over his tense shoulders.
Feels so good. So warm.
They linger longer than they need to, working out the little knots up his spine with soaped up hands and feeling his body slump the longer they spend like this. They’d like to spend longer, but unfortunately it’s a shower and not a bath, so they can’t linger too long.
Love when you wash my back.
Can never reach that one spot right in the middle. Always end up hurting my arm.
Geordi leans back against their abdomen while they drag a washcloth over his arms, a flurry of sweet, happy thoughts from him barely blips on the radar. Somehow, this seems especially intimate, rubbing soap into his bicep and down his forearm to give his hand a little squeeze before switching sides.
Hand squeezing mine. Feels good.
Gotta squeeze back, Geordi.
Love you.
The stress from earlier in the day has nearly dissipated, sliding down the drain alongside the water and soap suds while they wash him off. Knowing they can take away his stress like that is cathartic- and incredibly reassuring after all the nights he’s comforted them after the inversion.
I gotta email my coworker back. Later, not now.
Can we get pizza?
Ooo…pizza! I don’t wanna call it in, though. Hate talking on the phone.
Cutie hums while they wash the last of the suds off his arms and presses the thought I’ll call it in if you pick the pizza to feel the way he perks up excitedly.
So sweet to me.
Pizza for dinner, yum.
Cuddling on the couch. Miss cuddling you, Cutie.
They kiss his wet hair and quickly soap down, already aching to be in his arms on the couch without any more obligations for the night. A night in, watching a show and eating pizza will be nice.
The telepath gently taps his shoulder, signing out “ready to get out of the shower, Geordi?”
Water’s warm.
Don’t wanna get out, ugh, I never wanna get out once I’m actually in the shower.
It’ll be worth it though.
Cuddling on the couch, kissing you, holding you.
Geordi nods, standing to meet them in a kiss while the water beats at his back. It feels good, steam warm around them and his body pressed against their front. The two of them linger, thoughts blending together for several long moments in a swirl of love you, feels good, lips are soft before the water starts going lukewarm against his back.
Cold cold cold, ugh.
I hate when it gets cold, that's the worst.
He shuts off the water toweling off before stepping out into the bathroom, drawing a little smiley face on the fogged up mirror. He hands them their towel with a small smile, waiting until they towel off to lean in and kiss them with a hand at the nape of their neck.
Mmm, you smell so good. Your lips are so soft.
Did you use my shampoo again?
Smells like me.
They did use his shampoo again, but they don't admit it. Instead, they nip at his bottom lip and press close, feeling his chest shift with a sigh into their mouth.
Fuck, you feel good.
Getting distracted.
Geordi winds his arms around their neck, pressing his chest against theirs. Without their hearing aids, they miss the little noises he always makes, but he never ceases to be reactive enough that it doesn't especially matter.
Finally, after they sneak a hand down to squeeze his ass, they pull back with a little grin and sign "go put on some pajamas, we have a show to watch."
He pouts.
So mean. Working me up and leaving me like this, you're a menace!
Cute, though. Always cute.
Geordi heaves a melodramatic sigh so big that they can see his shoulders move with it, and they laugh, pecking his cheek and giving him a small shove.
“Drama queen,” they fingerspell at him then give a little shooing motion while toweling off their hair.
He reappears a few moments later once they’ve toweled off completely, now wearing the Tetris boxers and the avocado socks he loves so much he’s worn a hole in them. It’s endearing as hell, and also incredibly reassuring that he’s comfortable enough to show his personality more shamelessly. When they first got together he was more reserved, always shying away with thoughts of too much, I’m embarrassing them, they’re annoyed running through his head.
None of those thoughts whisper through his brain now, and that makes them happier than anything. His unabashed willingness to share the little nerdy, vulnerable parts of himself with them feels like a gift and they’d be hard pressed to reject it, in spite of the fact some of his dorky outfits do make them laugh.
He hands over a pair of their PJs, which they take gratefully and slip into, the fabric soft on warm skin. The bathroom is still a little bit foggy when the two of them step out, grabbing their hearing aids on the way to the living room but not bothering to put them in. They might want them later, but for now they’re more than happy to go without.
Shit, what kind of pizza do I want?
Should I get something with onions since they like it even if I don’t really like it?
That’s considerate; I don’t really want to though…I really don’t like onions.
No- they told me to make the choice. I get to choose tonight, they said that.
That makes them smile a little, knocking their head against his shoulder fondly before slipping away to check that captions are on for the show in preparation.
Cheese pizza, maybe. Should we get breadsticks?
Ooo breadsticks. Yum.
The telepath settles on the couch beside Geordi and leans in to kiss him, lazy and slow with the residual warmth from the shower still on their skin. It feels good, to breathe him in like this and feel the tension in his shoulders melt in real time.
He deserves that- they both do.
"Do you wanna get breadsticks too?" He signs out, fingers a bit clumsy despite his best efforts. Sign language isn't his native language, so even with all the practice he gets, he still lacks some of the natural flow.
They mull it over, weighing the options and finally nodding in agreement.
Geordi grins, happily pressing himself close against Cutie's side. They feel good against him, warm and incredibly comforting.
Show?
No, pizza first. Gotta call in the pizza, then watch it.
Did we put captions on?
Ugh.
Hate that they keep disappearing automatically. So annoying.
It's sweet to hear him thinking about captions for their sake, though he seems to like them too. His effort to ensure they're able to understand things without a lot of extra effort is really nice, and instills a lot of trust in him.
"Pick what you want for pizza?" They ask, already having a shit eating grin. They know he hasn't, not yet.
Perks of telepathy.
Oh fuck.
What did I want?
Cheese? Pepperoni? I forgot to think about this.
Oops.
He grimaces and they laugh knowingly, pulling him in by the back of the neck for a lazy kiss.
Don't laugh!
You're always so mean to me.
Ooo kisses. Warm; feels good. Always feels so good. Love kissing you.
His mouth melds with theirs for several long moments, thoughts fizzling and scattering out in his head until they're difficult to pick out individually apart from feels good and love you and perfect.
Eventually they draw away with one last little peck to let him actually gather his thoughts about pizza.
You like cheese right? And we're buying breadsticks.
He frowns thoughtfully, nodding at their thoughts mingling in his head.
Cheese pizza sounds good. Really good.
Breadsticks too.
After a bit more thought the two agree on what they want from the pizza place and Cutie types in the number to place it on speaker while using their captioning app so they can actually tell what the other person is saying.
Thankfully the telephone static must not be too bad because the captions come through quickly while Geordi leans against their side, thoughts bouncing around excitedly while they talk on the phone.
Thanks for calling it in, Cutie. You know I hate doing it.
They do know, and it's endlessly amusing and endearing in equal measure.
The call is over quickly, thankfully, and as soon as they set their phone to the side he's pulling them in close with arms around them. Not too tight, but just right, with the right pressure and his arms around them in the best spot.
Feels good, they think, and feel his smile against the skin of their neck.
You too.
Always feel good. So warm, so soft.
The telepath sighs happily, leaning against his chest while their partner squeezes their midsection. It'll be a while until pizza arrives, so they're content to lounge around in his arms. He's much more relaxed than he was at the start of tonight, and that makes them feel happy. He deserves that.
How long till pizza?
Forgot. Always forgetting things; sorry, Cutie.
They gently slap his arm in a soft reprimand, and he presses a kiss to their hair.
Got you to remind me, though.
So good to me. Always so perfect.
Love it- love you.
That makes them smile a little, twisting back to kiss him with a soft hum of enjoyment.
Kisses. Love kisses.
Love kissing you.
His tongue presses against theirs, and the two of them spend a while kissing like that until twisting their neck to do it becomes a bit too uncomfortable and they pull away with a small squeeze to his hand. A reassurance they started doing when they were first dating to soothe his anxious thoughts, then fell into the habit of doing.
Neck hurts?
Of course it hurts, they were craning their neck for so long.
Sorry, Cutie.
Turn around? Wanna keep kissing you.
They nod a little, making the sign for "okay," with one hand while they shift to turn around on the couch. The theme song to Tetris is bouncing around Geordi's head, a little do do do do do do do do doooo do do do do do do dooo that they've grown used to in the months of dating him.
Cutie settles against him again, meeting Geordi in another kiss that seems to make the Tetris theme in his brain scatter. It's longer this time, an arm around his shoulders and his arms wrapped around their waist. His tongue presses against their bottom lip and they make a happy noise, resting a hand on the nape of his neck. It's easy to get lost in it, in Geordi's arms around them and his happy, content thoughts mixing with their own.
They're not exactly sure how much time passes like that, only that when the two pull back, he's got a dusting of red over his freckled cheeks.
They spend a while curled up together on the couch, his arms around them and their cheek resting on his shoulder while they breathe him in.
Did I finish that thing at work? Shit.
Ugh, no, don't think about work. Who cares about work right now?
Think about something else- like cuddles on the couch. Like this.
The telepath strokes over his side absently, the fabric of his shirt soft under their fingertips and his chest shifts with what they're guessing is a sigh, by how it heaves out of him.
Touching me. Feels really good.
Feels relaxing.
Could sleep like this. Ooo sleeping. No work tomorrow.
Sleeping in, waking up together.
I'll make breakfast if you do the dishes?
That makes them smile a little- it's a bribe, but they'll still take it if it means they're not the one leaving the comfort of a warm bed first.
"Bribing me out of your least favorite chore again?" they sign after pulling their hand away from his side, eyes twinkling with amusement at the indignant thoughts echoing through his mind. "I'll do dishes tomorrow, Geordi. I don't mind."
Are they just saying that? Do they actually mind, is this some kind of test?
No, they're not like that.
You'd tell me if it was, right?
The telepath nods slightly, pressing close to him in an effort to reassure him. He's gotten better at asking for reassurance, and they’ve gotten better at offering it too since they first met.
I don't mind, Geordi, they think, peppering him in little kisses that make his shoulders shake him that bubbly laughter they're so fond of. Without hearing aids they can't hear it really, but they know he's laughing, and that's all that really matters.
I'd tell you if I didn't want to do dishes tomorrow, I promise.
His laughter subsides into a lopsided smile and he squeezes them close to him in a hug.
Of course they'd tell you. They're not like that, not like-
No.
Only happy thoughts now.
They press an I love you into his thoughts in response and Geordi cups the back of their neck while he kisses them.
Loves me, yeah. Of course they love me.
Love you too, Cutie. So sweet.
Always so sweet.
He jerks in surprise about something, and they pull back, already laughing at how startled his thoughts sound.
Shit! Doorbell. Ringing, doorbell is ringing.
God your doorbell is so loud.
Don't laugh! It is loud.
The telepath pecks his cheek, signing "I'm deaf, Geordi. It has to be loud."
Sorry, Cutie. Wasn't trying to be mean.
Was that mean?
Cutie shakes their head a little, gathering up their wallet and hearing aids so they can answer the door. The world abruptly is filled with sounds again the second their hearing aids are turned back on, and they wince at the shrill tone of their doorbell.
"See? Told you it was loud!" Geordi exclaims, and they snort softly in amusement. It is loud, but honestly it's for the best.
Thanks for answering the door.
Ugh, Hate answering the door, even to sign for packages.
Ooo packages. Did my package come in yet? Doubt it.
He's off thinking on another tangent while they pay the delivery person, and by the time they return to their shared living room with pizza in tow he's thinking a bizzare mash-up of a song from Undertale and one from Mario. It's almost spectacularly terrible, but they've definitely heard people think of worse combinations for music.
Pizza; smells good.
Oh shit, gotta get plates. Oops.
Going going going, gonna go get plates.
They watch him wheel into the kitchen to get plates and silverware for the two of them. He signs a brief, apologetic “sorry, Cutie,” but his mind isn’t especially upset about it, so they let it go with a little smile.
The telepath listens in on him humming some song in his head and slides their hearing aids off while they sit down on the couch. Their lover returns with plates in tow and settles down beside them again to cuddle into their side.
Missed you, missed this.
Been too long since we've had a date night in.
They hum in agreement and wrap an arm around him so he can snuggle in close with his cheek against their shoulder.
Kiss me?
Cutie smiles and cups his cheek with one hand to lift his face until his mismatched colored eyes are staring at them while he grins.
Love it when you do that.
Feels so sweet.
His lips press against theirs and his eyes flutter shut, thoughts going too fast to pinpoint. They seem happy though, so they just slide their hand back to cup the nape of his neck and hold him close for several, long moments until he pulls back with a giddy looking laugh.
He says something that they can't hear, lips moving around words that are lost on them.
The telepath pulls back and taps their ear in reminder, laughing at the swift way his expression turns vastly apologetic.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Forgot again. So easy to forget when you're in my head like this, it's like talking.
They hush him with another brief kiss.
Hey!
You're just kissing me so I'm not saying sorry anymore.
Worth it, I love when you kiss me.
This time they pull away laughing, unable to stop the smile that tugs at the edges of their lips. "It's okay, Geordi," they sign, eyes still twinkling with amusement.
The two of them eat pizza on the couch together while curled up close to each other, but Geordi already starts nodding off after just one episode of the show they've been watching. His head lulls against their shoulder, eyelids drifting shut and his racing thoughts gradually slowing like molasses.
Tired.
Cutie strokes a hand through his hair, quietly turning the show's volume off. He looks exhausted, and they can't hear it so there's very little point to it if Geordi isn't awake.
Geordi nuzzles his cheek against their shoulder and his arm curls over their waist with a little sigh. Cute.
They haven't been perfect by any means, especially not recently, and he's exhausted. He deserves some rest.
The telepath quietly pulls him close and lets him sleep on their shoulder while they respond to emails for nearly an hour before he wakes again.
Warm, he thinks, and they smile.
Feels good, warm. Relaxing.
How long did I sleep for?
Cutie signs, "one hour," and he yawns before squeezing them by the waist.
Should go to bed.
Is it late? Feels late. Maybe because I was napping.
He kisses them again, slow and still a tad hazy from sleep, then pulling away with a slight smile. "Cuddle in bed with me?" He signs, sloppier than usual.
Pleaaaaase, please, Cutie?
Pleasepleasepleaseplease, c'monnnnnn.
They laugh brightly and nod after some consideration. The two of them deserve a night in together finally.
"Fine, fine. But you're making breakfast."
-
He does not make breakfast, but they can't bring themself to mind.

smartass and starlight?
Smartass - What’s your usual coffee or tea order? If you don’t drink coffee or tea, what do you like instead?
Americano 👌 I usually go to cafes if I have to work so it's my go-to.
Starlight - Favorite constellation and/or planet? What’s your zodiac sign?
Orion :) it's the first constellation I learnt, with it being the easiest to spot, and since then I've just sort of had an attachment to it despite learning much cooler ones. And I'm a Leo 👍

Hello! Are you hyperfixated on RedactedAudio?
Do you want (need) to know who to follow to cultivate your dashboard and feed your gremlin brain good, good boyfriend roleplay content?
Cool, I’ve got you, and I’ve got hyperlinks. Buckle up.
(Note: This is by no means a comprehensive, objective, or complete list. I've only been in the fandom for six months or so. I have biases and favorites and limited time. I hope to update this list periodically, and if you feel I've missed someone, please feel free to reblog with your additions! I just would have loved a guide like this when I got into the fandom back in August and wanted to spread some positivity~!)
Fanfiction:
@angelnoodlesoup: she/her
Sophie is just one of the sweetest David stans that's ever existed who writes, like, the sweetest things about him. Her posts are just going to make you feel warm, fluffy, soft things in your heart area; give into the sweetness.
Highlights: Sophie writes this adorable timestamp series of vignettes exploring Davey and Angel's day, but I'm particularly attacked to their David/Angel neighbors to lovers AU~
@arrowfleur
I was actually going to put Max in the visual content portion of this post, because they post delightful Redacted edits on Tiktok (under the same username, highly recommend~), but then they made a uquiz that gave me an existential crisis, so here we are.
Highlights: This quiz sent my whole server for a loop and has made me reconsider my relationship with Lovely as a character and kin; it's a great time.
@batch-of-pengwings: robin/bird, she/her
Robin, an absolute sweetheart who makes all the fun ask games that keep the community interconnected and thinking and talking which is just really sweet and fun in the best way.
Highlights: The Winter Wonderland game is the one who went around most recently, and it’s so fun to engage with the fandom and discuss who we think is stupid enough to get their tongues stuck on a telephone poll~
@bicyclepainting: they/them
Clover, the fandom's resident Smartass, doing the lord's work and reminding us all how fucking smoochable Aaron is on a regular basis on top of being the coolest astrology nerd don't give them your birth chart you will be perceived /lh
Highlights: No one is doing Aaron/Smartass like they are; like, read and absorb the delicious, domestic delight that is them. I also recommend their deep dives into the Redacted bois signs, if you're into that; they're very thorough and fun to read!
@cashandprizes: she/they
My Lexi, my queerplatonic soulmate… She is on a quest to dissect and critique fandom brick by philosophical brick, and I both love her and fear her in equal measure. (That’s a lie, I love her infinitely, more than anything, but she is in fact incredibly intelligent and intimidating.)
Highlights: Come for the scathing insights into gray-morality and DD:DNE’s place in fiction, stay for the stripper!Gavin fic they’re working on and their sequel to Lasko’s SexTember audio because she really wanted to make him cry
@ejunkiet: she/her
EJ, the very first of my Redacted loves~ Not only is EJ an endless well of kindness and positivity, but she also writes fucking bomb ass everything. You get angst, you get smut, you get fluff- We stan a multitalented, ace queen. (She also writes really cute CastleAudios fanfiction and original stuff as a cherry on top.)
Highlights: EJ writes just some of my favorite David/Angel smut; she captures Angel's little shit nature perfectly. She's also written the sweetest thing of Damien meeting Huxley's moms that I can't get enough of~
@dominimoonbeam: she/her
Domini, truly one of the pillars of the fandom. I don't know what'd we'd be without her fantastic fics or her original novellas or her fantastic, beautiful, rarepair-creating brain.
Highlights: God, there's too many to choose from! There's the Sam/Darlin fake dating AU that has us all gripped by the proverbial balls. There's the David/Darlin tattoo shop AU that has me frothing at the mouth because tattoo artists are stinkin hot. That's not even getting into their Cam/William fic, because god, that is such a good rarepair. We love two immortals finding love with one another, we really do. My personal favorite has got to be their Huxley/Darlin piece though, because Darlin gets to be cute and awkward and so, so loved in it.
@frenchiefitzhere: she/her
Frenchie, the fandom's unofficial (but basically official) Marie Greer, not only a gorgeous writer but also the creator of the most fantastical and unique fansongs (who makes original audio content to boot~)
Highlights: We would be nowhere as a fandom without the Marie/Colm greer backstory and saga or her audios as the Greer Matriarch herself, but personally? Her Imperium!Lasko/Adam fic kind of changed my life, I'm kind of obsessed with it.
@friendlyfaded: he/him
Miles, the king and professor of the rarepairs! Beware, you will leave his blog wishing for fics for a ship that doesn’t actually exist yet. It’s unavoidable when you read the careful, creative, thoughtful way he considers seemingly silly pairings and makes them gorgeous.
Highlights: I recommend his whole rarepairs with prof tag for a snack and his Sweetheart/Lasko/Milo fic for a whole meal~
@gingerbreadmonsters: she/her
Ginger, literally one of the sweetest, friendliest people in the entire Internet. I cannot adequately describe the absolute magnificent poetry of Ginger's prose, so you just have to read it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
Highlights: Ginger's Milo/Sweetheart series is for if you're feeling sweet, and her Vincent/Lovely/Gavin/Freelancer foursome fic is if you're feeling spicy~ Or if you're like me and are longing for an character we'll never see again, you can read her gorgeous, Doctor Who-inspired look in Marcus's mind.
@glassbearclock: she/her
Beans, also known as the best Milo/Sweetheart writer in the game. Their banter is taken from the mouth of god and first name Erik last name Redacted himself, and you could not convince me otherwise.
Highlights: I’m a big fan of her sweet, wholesome, Jewish!Milo sick fic, but aYO her Milo/Sweetheart first date fic is so good y’all like goddamn Sweetheart phases through their door and makes Milo faceplant it on accident man that shit is so good
@horrorscoupes: they/he
My beautiful, darling Lotus, my gloriously deranged brother in arms (affectionate). The way they write each and every d(a)emons is just so -chef kiss-.
Highlights: I think about their Regulus/Doll fic, like, literally every day, it's just yummy and depraved. Though, for a true taste of genius, for a galaxy brain treat, you've got to read his Shark!Vega/Pet masterpiece.
@k9rage: he/xi
My beloved Calico, our helpful Image Description fairy. He is just so cool and writes the most glorious smut like the world has ever seen. As of publishing, he's writing a Vega/Lasko street racing AU that's gonna be just smoke ash cinder fire hot.
Highlights: You need to read his Damien/Gavin waxplay fic; like, this changed my life, I think about it daily. Ooh, AND his Aaron/SmartAss/Gavin threesome fic, because he didn't do all that thinking and imagining for us to not appreciate it. I'm also reccing @calicostorms, his other blog and spotify, so you can get at his stellar Redacted character playlists!
@lovelylonerliterature:
Lovely, absolute stand-out writer in the fandom! Would you believe they have a whole (as of posting) 95 works for the RedactedASMR fandom on AO3? There’s <2000 fics, which makes Lovely a whole five percent of the fanfiction on their own. That’s wild and so hella cool.
Highlights: Literally everything they write. Explore their extremely well done masterlist, it’s beautifully put together, and you’ll find something you love. (I’m particularly fond of the Darlin/Vega fic they wrote based off of one of FriendlyFaded’s posts~)
@romirola: she/her
Dr. Romi, the one and the only and one of the legitimate sweetest goddamn people that has ever existed. You've never met a more polite, darling person in all your days. How did she write all these thousands of words of art while getting a doctorate? God, I wish I knew... if only we could also be so beautiful and wonderful and accomplished.
Highlights: You haven't existed until you've read her Milo/Sweetheart Tangled AU; like, what are you doing here? GO. (I also deeply recommend her found family Shaw Pack + Sam fic, if you're looking for something that's still ongoing!)
@sealriously-sealrious: they/them
Chrys who writes- no contest I think we can all agree- the best Huxley that this fandom has ever seen. He is just so well-explored and so multifaceted, just the top-tier himbo content we all need and deserve.
Highlights: Huxley and Freelancer at the aquarium, Huxley and Freelancer going camping, sfw, nsfw, whatever you want, we've GOT. (There's even some imperium!Huxley, if you're so inclined >:))
@starlitangels: she/her
Starlit, another absolute powerhouse of the fandom. Just look at this masterlist, I think there’s something here for literally every character. That’s what babes call RANGE.
Highlights: The way they explore the Shaw pack is so fun; I’d highly recommend her fic exploring Gabe and his backstory or her fic exploring the Shaw’s future pups~!
@taelonsamada: she/her
A pillar- or should I say fence post?- of the fandom and just an utter peach. Always has a nice word to say and says the best nice words about Sam and Darlin-
Highlights: Her nsfw Geordi/Cutie fic holds a special place in my heart (the blindfold? the gag? Be still my beating heart), but you haven’t lived until you’ve read her Shaw-centric Ranch AU~!
@teasandcardigans: she/her
Mads, another lovely creator that could be in either section of this post- that's how talented she is! Not only is she a lovely writer but she also designs the most fun Redacted stickers! Also, she's got the only Redacted fan tiktok that Erik has confirmed seen and liked, can't not mention that it's so cool
Highlights: Honestly, there's too many to mention! A really popular of hers is a "What If" echo-esque reimagining of everyone's stories which is so fun, and my personal, biased favorite is her Alexis & Gavin fic hear me OUT-
@the-sugar-crash
Cait, out here doing the most and the best. They’ve run the Redacted Winter Gift Exchange for the past two years, connecting blogs who might have never spoken to each other, inspiring creativity, and spreading holiday cheer~
Highlights: I recommend taking a look-see through the “Redacted 2022 Winter Gift Exchange” tag- much thanks to Cait for making it possible- to consider if you’d like to join next year! Until then, there’s a compilation of their cute headcanon posts to inspire you!
@zozo-01: she/her
Zo, one of the sweetest people in the fandom~ Not only is she a fantastic writer, but she is also one of the friendliest people in the space! Constantly excited and supportive and positive and a joy to follow and befriend.
Highlights: Her Sam/Darlin Deity AU is going to change the world and break some hearts, I just know it. (Just like her Alexis and Darlin meeting fic broke mine-) If you're not up to getting your heart broken and just want a friend, I recommend asking her about her Powerpoint of Bollywood scenes that could be Sam/Darlin moments~!
Fanart:
@andr0leda: she/they
Androleda’s art is so gorgeous in that most of them are uncolored or working with a smaller palette, and it just makes those colors stand out and the line work all the more elegant. Highlights: Their wolf!Darlin piece got so popular, and you can see why! It looks like the cover of a really cool YA fantasy novel. Also, her Sam/Darlin art just melts the heart- the gentle hand, the key around the neck-!
@artbykays
Kays, a fantastic artist who plays around with the prettiest, brightest colors and has the prettiest (hottest) fem listeners. They also have super fun Redacted playlists!
Highlights: Their Sweetheart, Valentina, is kind of smokin hot, I mean look at her, but also good lord, have you seen their Warden like lock me up anytime hello-
@belovedbow
Bow’s art just makes me so soft and gooey inside I dunno. Their art is so pretty, and they always have the most expressive faces. Not to mention the colors- like, Bow uses the simplest but most emotionally evocative shades of pinks and blues that make me inexplicably feel things, and I love it.
Highlights: Literally all their Davey/Angel is the sweetest, but I also have this deep fondness for their imp!FL and Vindemiator pieces, because look at these deep, mournful blues, they’re beautiful!
@cascadiiing: they/them
Atlas creates the most beautiful, squishable, smoochable characters on top of being the most beautiful, squishable, smoochable (platonic) sweetie in existence~ they’re so sweet and friendly on top of being so talented at such a young age, and I would protect them with my life.
Highlights: Their Sam kind of makes me so lovesick, I could barf- he’s just that pretty. Their Alexis/Christian art is fanart of my own fic, I’ll grant you, but it’s also so fucking pretty look at the dreamy colors and it MOVES-
@claracatlady
Where would we be without Clara, like honestly- What really stands out about their art is- other than the overwhelming talent- the obvious thought and joy that went into designing the outfits. Only the best from our resident fashion design student!
Highlights: literally everything. If I must be specific, the David design pinned to their blog is utterly ahdhkakshdjsk, and I am particularly partial to their Alexis design, because I love my beautiful, possibly complex lady okay-
@fregget-frou : he/they
Mal has the prettiest Listeners; I’m lowkey in love with all of them~ I love the way he does such fluffy, voluminous hair, and I dunno, all their listener OC’s have this fashion model-esque glamour and posture about them that’s really attractive. Highlights: Of their listeners, Mal’s Angel has got to be my favorite. Look at this fluffy-haired cutie! Look at this menace! I would also propose to them, they’re gorgeous!
@gwenifred: she/her
Gwen draws the most gorgeous, swoon-worthy Huxleys and is just a big sweetpea to boot. Her and Pali sharing OC’s and art trades here and on Twitter is a testament to how friendly and sweet the fandom can be!
Highlights: Everything she draws is gorgeous, but you haven’t lived until you’ve seen her animation work!
@ice-palace-art: They/It/He/Dae
Darby has some of the most beautiful designs, I can hardly stand it. He creates the most gorgeous, realistically proportioned characters and listeners, and they’re just really smoochable okay let me live-
Highlights: It has this one piece of Gavin and Lasko having a sleepover that fills me with the warm fuzzies every time I see it, and their Aaron design fills me with longing I am hopelessly in love with their dad-bodded Aaron.
@itsdaifuku: she/her
Y’all don’t even know the little happy stim storm Fuku’s art sets me on; like, all her art is so cute and joyful and somehow colorful even when it’s in black and white? It just gives the vibe of life and vibrancy constantly? How does she do that?
Highlights: Literally, everything she draws is gorgeous and sweet, though her designs for the Shaws and their mates are so S-tier and so cute. (I’m also particularly fond of her designs for Love and Alexis, my favorite characters, I’m biased, sue me)
@mr-laveau: he/they
Laveau, my favorite Milo kinnie~ (Yeah, I said it out loud; I’m callin you out.) Charming, thoughtful, friendly, much more talented than they have any right to be when they’re also so funny and sweet, AND also writing at their other blog @bratty-telepath. You’ve never seen such a double threat.
Highlights: Literally, everything he makes. All his designs are colorful and gorgeous and filled to the brim with deliberate, intentional details (though I am incredibly partial to their Alexis and Darlin designs and the parallels he included between them.)
@nais-doodles
Nai is a fucking blessing unto this fandom, and we are not worthy. You haven’t really lived, haven’t experienced all the pure, positive silliness that this hellsite has to offer until you experience Nai’s Redacted Actor AU. It’s pure serotonin, and we’re all here listening to Boyfriend ASMR, I know we could use it.
Highlights: Other than said AU posts (which really are so fuckin good), have you seen their drawing of Vincent and Sam’s Monarchal ball? Ooh, and if you go to their tiktok under the same username, you can see some of the really cool dating sim they’re working on!
@nanowatzophina: any pronouns
Na’no is not only a must follow on tumblr, but I also highly recommend their tiktok if you wish to wade through the horrid cesspool of that app (I say with tiktok as one of my top social media sites- we have a codependent relationship) Their art is super cute and expressive, and I get massive gender envy from the way he draws hair and teeth.
Highlights: Her aspec Freelancer is just so close to my heart; I adore Avery so deeply. Also, the way they draw imperium!Vega and Pet makes my heart fucking melt and want to jump out my chest- the size difference, my god
@obsessivedino: they/them
Mint’s contribution to the fandom cannot possibly be overstated. Their art style is just so clean and neat and with the cutest expressions, and I love their designs so much, especially for the d(a)emon bois I just ahhhhh
Highlights: If you’ve joined the official unofficial Redacted Discord server, you’ve seen their adorable stickers reminding you to kick that ass or hydrate unless you want to die-drate, and you haven’t truly embraced life unless you’ve seen their two-year anniversary masterpiece. Ooh, or pocket caelum!
@palilious: she/her
There is no Redacted fandom or fandom list without Pali, and we’ve all accepted that. Her style is so uniquely and instantaneously recognizable as hers, and everyone adores it, including but not limited to GBA, Nomad, and Cardlin!
Highlights: Literally everyone she draws is so pretty, though I have a soft spot for her Vincent or her Nomad drawings if you’re looking for more VAs to listen to!
@pearl-kite: she/they
Kirehn has the most huggable humans and the most awe-inspiring d(a)emons. The way she draws the d(a)emons with constellations worked into the designs and color palettes is just so gorgeous and purposeful and thoughtful.
Highlights: Their Vega is so frightening but beautiful, you just can’t look away from him. I’m also particularly in love with their Darlin!
@queendread
Do y’all ever do this thing when you see an ethereally beautiful person and you have no words, all you can do is giggle like a vapid schoolgirl(gn)? That’s me with all of Anna’s paintings: no words, just awe.
Highlights: I don’t even really like Gavin, okay, he’s not my type, but lord above, Anna’s Gavin is something else. Their Sam also has those Captain America, boy next door good looks I imagined, it’s like they took him right out of my daydreams.
@ryokoaoi : they/them
Ryo has the absolute cutest, most adorable art style, one can barely handle it! Everything they draw is just so pretty and so colorful and detailed and sweet. (Except the sad things, those are less sweet but gosh they’re still so pretty.) They also have this Magic Swap AU that they design that is so fun to read about! Highlights: Their swapped! Gavin and Avior designs are so fun, I adore them deeply, and if you need something to cheer you up, you can always depend on their DAMN pieces that always include a little invisible Caelum to bring you joy~!
@slushrottweiler: she-they
There is nothing like seeing Slush’s signature blue linework on your dashboard, it’s such a sweet treat- or spicy. There are also very good, very spicy treats. Her blog is a magnificent roulette wheel of blue surprises.
Highlights: I love their Sam/Darlin stuff, especially this one because wowee them shoulderblades, but their HuxDami BA piece takes the cake.
@spookybeandoodle
Spooky has my whole heart and wallet and my other heart if I had one I fell in love with their rich color palettes and shading and Alexis right away and had to commission them. Could not recommend enough, they were a treasure to work with~
Highlights: I’m not biased- okay yes I am but not now their Alexis is fuckin smoking hot but also their Cam might be my favorite Cam look at that smile-!
@sri-rachaa: she/her
Rae is such a treasure to this fandom, we hardly deserve her. Her art is so ethereally pretty and delicate? The way she draws hair and noses and silhouettes- her line work is just phenomenal. Everything she creates is just a delight to look at.
Highlights: The Southern Siblings AU is a gift, a treasure, a boon that cannot be ignored. I’m also a big fan of her Lovely OC who is ridiculously pretty~
@tankwolf : she/her
June has been posting fanart for only two months, but I’m already absolutely obsessed. I just find her monochrome character portraits so visually engaging and interesting. I would love so badly to be friends with her listener OC’s… Highlights: …or more than friends, because her Sweetheart is something else good lord. I would just love it if June could stop putting the hot people in crop tops please (but also don’t cause whoa)
@terrazaurio
All the fanart Terra creates is so bright and vivid and colorful and expressive, they’re really such a treat to see and experience. I’m a sucker for the colors they use, cause it makes my lizard brain all happy and go “shiny pretty happy.”
Highlights: Everything they draw with the Shaw Pack is pure dopamine, like this one of the bois and their mates hanging by the pool. I am particularly attached to this piece from Milo’s HBS, because they’re so fucking in love, your honor, I love them.
@thefablefoxart : she/her
Angelina’s Redacted couple series is one of the truest delights of the fandom; like, they’re so colorful and cute and just adorably designed. I’m also deeply in love with the way she does hair. Everyone just has really fucking good looking hair, and I can’t get over it-Highlights: On top of the aforementioned couple series, I just want to bring attention to this adorable chibi Sam that she drew- it brings me so much serotonin- and their Darlin, Kai who I wish would just give me a shot okay I have a Southern accent too-
If you’re reading all the way here, I hope you found the post helpful and smiled while making your way through it! Or both! The RedactedAudio fandom is truly one of my favorite spaces on the internet; it’s so intimate and creative, and I’ve found some amazing, perfect friends here, so I hope you will too 💖
again playing around with the formatting please stop hurting me tumblr I’m trying to be nice
If you can see this, I love you, and you’re watching me try to format this post so tumblr doesn’t cut off the bottom of it please ignore the Android behind the emerald curtain go about your day

5+1: headcanons!
got tagged by the oh so lovely @romirola , the queen of headcanons hehe.
5 headcanons i hold +1 i'm still working on >:3 i spent a lot of time choosing these bc boy oh boy do i have a lot ajskdlf
Babe is 100% an author in their free time. Sometimes they ask Asher’s mom for pointers on how she balanced life and writing and they’ll even bounce pitches off of her. It was a really sweet bonding moment for them. Ash used to read their rough drafts but he was too excited to read it that very very little edits would ever be made asjdkfl (he got demoted from his place as editor. sorry ash)
Damien really likes to be the big spoon when him and Hux are cuddling even though size wise it’s a little bit like he's an awkward backpack. Neither really mind though. On that same note they don’t cuddle when they’re sleeping, but they always fall asleep holding each other. Their asleep bodies move them to other ends of the bed at some point before morning and they always have to find their way back to each other when they wake up.
The shifters’ cores literally feel different when they’re with their mates. There isn’t necessarily an absence of their mates’ presence if they aren’t around them (i.e. if they’re at work or something) but there IS a sense of fullness when they are. Their mates make them feel whole, even if they didn’t even know they were missing something in the first place.
Aaron and Elliott shared a room as little kids and Aaron DEFINITELY put tape down the middle to separate the halves. Eli, following through with his little brother duties, would purposely cross it just to make Aaron mad. The amount of times their parents had to separate them got so exhausting that they got their own rooms as soon as physically possible.
Asher definitely has some really really stupid tattoo that he got because he lost a bet to Milo. To his credit, Milo really didn’t think he would actually get the tattoo, but Ash is the type of guy that has no shame at all. Now that it’s been a few years he actually kind of likes it.
+1. This one is still in the very very early stages of curiosity but what if Cutie had dated an unempowered person before and they had to watch their memories get wiped.... and whether the separation is permanent or not the department started asking about Geordi. Just… been thinking about that one. (memory modification and covert laws fascinate the hell out of me what can i say)
tagging: @lovelylonerliterature @sealriously-sealrious @bicyclepainting and @angelcactus but no pressure of course!! as always feel free to take this as an open tag as well :) i <3 hc's sooo pls share with me hehe
#redacted audio#redacted asmr#i love thinking about shifters cores#the way they've described the mate connection and how it feels in canon is so sweet#and i just had to make it sweeter okay#it's the only way#tag game#redacted headcanons

Fanwork Sunday (late)
Tagged by @blarrghe thank uuuu <3 I love to share recs but forget to do it often. Anyways. I'd recommend @merrybandofmurderers 's dragon age fics but I think I have done that many times already? So! A different author this time :]
Author: @crowwithabrush / KallistoKrow on Ao3!
Reccomended fic: Fellow Heretics
I discovered this fic by happenstance when the writer commented on one of my fics and fell in love with their Lavellan, Revos! The author has an excitement and love for Dragon Age that shines through, particularly in their criticism of the source material's handling of the tranquil. I've loved so far how they weave the Dalish love n respect for their mages into Revos' perspective and his backstory has unfolded in so many fun, unexpected pieces. It's a real treat to read!
Artist: uhhhh.... I know less artists, unfortunately, but! Reccomending @catebeesart who has done a commission for me before and does such BEAUTIFULLY detailed traditional clothing inspired designs.
Below is their artwork of my Dalish oc Fen'an (bc omg I haven't stopped fanboying it still) and a beautiful Gale sketch from them!!
Tagging @just-call-me-angel @merrybandofmurderers @mrs-theirin @thicchaco @horrorscoupes @bicyclepainting @cactusnymph @midnighred74 and @curiouslavellan if u would like to!!

Wip Wednesday
Tagged by @merrybandofmurderers and @curiouslavellan !
Featuring a small snip from my casmund fic! Things have been too hectic to work on much fic recently but I see the end of this chapter so that's exciting
“I can't believe you did that, Ed!” Caspian exclaimed, still laughing as they turned towards the kitchens. “You've much more patience than me—I expected to be the one persuading you for an escape.”
Edmund huffed a laugh of his own. “Is it so wrong that I want to spend my wedding night with my husband?” He asked, teasing obvious in his tone.
“You know what they're thinking!”
Both dissolved into giggles again as they entered the kitchens. It was easier to snatch a bottle of opened wine than expected and they were off again, Edmund leading them down another stone hallway decorated by lions. His hand still held Caspian's.

for the micro prompts, 8 and 28 for elliott and sunshine? or whatever pairing u think fits :-) <3
8 (sunbathing) + 28 (something about them)
hiiiii, clover!!! thank you for your prompt 💜💜💜
this one is set during that beach trip elliott mentions in "dreamwalker boyfriend saves you from your nightmare" (and thus is again pre-canon; will i ever write eli/sunshine actually in a relationship? god who knows) ++ mood music owl city sunburn please and thank you
💜
With the beach so crowded and the ocean so close, Elliott's suggestion to head back to their umbrella goes unheard over the crashing spray as his best friend runs a little closer to the waves, soaked up to their thighs in seawater. The Pacific is cold even in the summer, and by all rights they should probably be shivering by now.
He calls their name again, getting a little closer, and this time they turn to look at him, their response stolen by the wind. They come back over, eyes bright, and stop just a bit in front of him.
Elliott had kept further away from the water than them. He hadn't been sure, when they'd invited him, if he'd like it here. The ocean featured prominently in his nightmares when he still had them, all-encompassing and black and cold and choking, and although they couldn't have known when they asked, he'd hesitated on the answer. The moment they started to take the idea back, though, expression falling, he'd caved instantly.
And it's turned out alright, anyway. It's bright here, and the sun is warm, and he can clearly see the sand below him and the coastline where the rocks are further forward than the beach. The water ends. They're here.
They head back to the umbrella together, hand-in-hand. He wonders if they look like a couple.
"We've been here for a while," they tell him in a stern voice once they get back, sitting down and rummaging through their overlarge beach bag for the sunscreen, which they produce and immediately begin to squeeze out onto their palm. "It's been long enough. You have to reapply."
"You're using it, sunshine," he says, a laugh in his voice to cover for how difficult it suddenly is to keep his eyes in polite territory. He sits next to them under the shade and steadfastly doesn't look at the way their sunblock-coated fingers are pressing gently into the skin of their thigh. He definitely doesn't think even once about the indents his own fingers might leave behind, there. He doesn't look.
They catch him looking, and Elliott thinks, for an impossible second, that he stops breathing. It's probably silly of him to be so worried about it. They have to know. It's been long enough. He's caught them looking before. But there's something about them, something about what they're doing together, that makes him want to stretch it longer, let them keep balancing on that uncertain edge. He knows, with the clarity of someone who would rather not, that he does this because of the hypothetical day when he leaves it all in front of them, the dreams and the drowning and the seemingly endless wells of care, and they leave it behind.
He doesn't know that they'll do that. He doesn't even really think that they will. He’s sure they love him, even if he isn't sure what form that love will take, and they wouldn't just abandon him. (Like he did.) But he doesn't know what they will do.
So he just meets their gaze, and lets the corner of his mouth curve up when they smile small and secretive at him, and cherishes that feeling for what it is right now. When they hand him the sunscreen with a repeated instruction, he lets their fingers brush, and when they relocate to the towel outside their little shelter to sunbathe, he stares for so long, focused on the soft way they feel falling asleep against his magic from close enough to hold, that he forgets entirely to reapply and burns so bad his skin peels.

wip title game <3
rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP list, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it. and then tag as many people as you have WIPs!
thank you to the wonderful @pinksparkl for the tag!! 💕💕 look i'll say it - you've probably seen a fair number of these before, because if i am terrible at one thing it is sticking to a plan lmao 🫠🫠 i did add the byline, though, so you can maybe make an educated guess...?? i am a chronic oversharer, so do feel free to ask about any of them - i put everything in a randomiser, so the order doesn't mean anything hehe
edit: i'm adding links to ones i've already answered, so you can see what's going on <3

Stupid question but are you the person who wrote a fic about darlin getting trapped by quinn and his gang and didnt open their eyes for the duration of that and the shaw pack +sam cam and rescued them
And if youre not im sorry ive just been trying to find it or maybe convince myself that im making this up-
Hello! Not a stupid question at all
No, that was not me. I do remember reading it though back when I first started listening to Redacted but was still just lurking in the tag and didn’t have this blog
I also don’t remember who posted it but maybe @bicyclepainting ?
Do any of my followers remember it? Can we help a friend out?

WIP Wednesday!
tagged by @bicyclepainting and @k9rage 💙
Title: worth the price
Pairing: Angel/David and Darlin’/Sam, but this really just focused on Angel and Darlin’
Warnings: cursing, mostly. And I’m writing about my (nb) Darlin’ OC, so they’re described. I try to keep it minimal, though
Rating: T (but only for Darlin’s language)
Tagging: @friendlyfaded, @thesunandmoons-blog, @zozo-01, and anyone else who wants to share!
“I don’t know about this,” Tank says, which itself is a rarity—there’s probably only been a handful of times they can recall actually saying it aloud.
Hesitation and Tank aren’t really two words that pair well. Someone should take a photograph so this can be saved forever and commemorated. There should be one of those plaques installed that no one reads. Maybe—
“It won’t be an issue,” Angel tells them wisely, “if no one finds out about it.”
David’s mate is grinning. The white of their teeth and curve of their lips are full of nothing but promises of mischief and a future lecture from the pack Alpha. And probably Tank’s own mate, too, because Sam is nothing but a stickler for not causing undue trouble. Tank doesn’t think Sam was ever younger than the age he was when he was immortalized; he just spawned one day, like those NPCs in the video games Asher plays.
Callus-toughened hands interlock as Tank cracks their knuckles in contemplation. They’re wearing fingerless gloves in a sad attempt to fight back the early-winter cold, and the black yarn is beginning to fray at the edges. The unempowered human in front of them makes a face at the sound of their joints.
“Maybe I was wrong. You might be getting too old,” they say, like it’s an afterthought. Something glimmers behind their eyes.
Like an affronted pufferfish, Tank inhales sharply. “I am not,” they snap, “too old. You’re only two years younger than me.”
“Yeah, but you’re a wolf. In dog years, you’re practically ancient—”
Angel is playing them like a fiddle, and Tank knows it. The fact that it’s working only makes it worse, but they take the bait anyway. “Oh, yeah? I’ll fuckin’ prove you otherwise.”
What Angel says next doesn’t surprise them in the least, but the words still make them cringe anyway. Or makes Tank do their own version of it, which is to making a face like they just bit into a lemon and running a hand through their red hair, shorn in an undercut.
“Then help me plan something for David’s birthday, because it is literally next month, and I don’t have a single clue what to do for it. But Christian says you’re the best at this kind of stuff. I’ll love you forever if you help me figure this out.”
Tank can already see it now—David coming home to a cake from one of those fancy bakeries because Angel can’t bake for shit, a banner over the backdoor in the kitchen, and every single member of the Shaw Pack crammed into the home he shares with his mate. Oh, yeah. He’s going to be pissed. And then Sam will be annoyed too, but only because David will round on him and demand to know why he didn’t do anything to stop the two of them sooner, which will only earn Tank a second, more tired scolding.
…The cost will be worth it. Even if Angel’s only going to use them for their muscles to carry all the shit to the truck, and to pick up the heavy boxes at Costco, because they are not nearly too old for any of that. Tank is more than capable of planning one party, especially if it’s for David.
They can’t wait to see the look on his face.
“Get your coat,” they sigh. “It’s cold as hell out here, and if I’m freezing to death, then you are, too. And then get your Costco card.”
“How do you know I have—”
“Your mate is David Gabriel Shaw,” Tank says. “Go get it and meet me in the truck. I’m not turning into a popsicle on your front porch.”

Busybee Recs: Feb 14th
In this rapidly growing and changing community, there is no shortage of gorgeous creators, talented writers, and fantastic content to consume. Because the fandom could always use more positivity and more spotlight shown on older content, I’ll be highlighting and recommending fics written on this date in previous years!
A Marriage Proposal
Five times Angel thinks David is proposing (when he's not) and the one time he actually does (plus an extra scene with Angel and Babe).
Who need Valentine's Day chocolate or desserts when you've got this adorable, sweet Angel and Davey-flavored treat from @bicyclepainting, their very first ever?
Things I love about this fic:
Y'all know me- I'm a slut for a good 5+1 fic, and this is a fantastic one~!
David is the shit-starter in the fic, the teasing bastard! It's a good look on him, I love it~
Dare I say, I like this proposal even better than the canon one. I love a good public event, especially as it makes the pack part of the whole thing, you know?
