Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #3 by Joanne Starer and Natacha Bustos. Cover by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson. Variant cover by Joëlle Jones. Out in November.
"Jimmy Olsen comes to town with his ear to the ground for a Daily Planet scoop, and Fire and Ice have a beauty salon full of ex-villains that Fire’s certain they can rehabilitate (in fabulous reality-show fashion, no less!) and Ice is desperate to hide. But if they’re gonna make it through the day without Big Blue swinging back through Smallville to clean up their mess, Fire and Ice will have to look past the growing chasm between them and work together to sell Superman’s pal the story of a lifetime."

Twin Princes AU
LEGEND
Part one | Part two
Buy me a Ko-Fi!
AAAAND SCENE!
Wow wow! I didn't expect for what was supposed to be another doodle comic...end up with me putting a lot of effort-!
Life got in the way plenty of times- making me take quite a bit to finish this...even contemplating on just putting this on hiatus and just do something else-
...but I did it! I didn't let any discouragement, nerves and bad feelings get to me.
Now I'm sure many are wondering- HOW did this come to fruition? Simple: my friend pointed out that my next comic should focus on Kyurem's involvement in this! Many were wondering what sort of role the old dragon played after the previous comic (Family) and the art piece that accompanied it (The Giant Chasm)! So I went for a more artistic approach to this, making the artwork look like a tale at first, but then shifting to a more crude and cold atmosphere- I was going to polish these last nine pages, yet my friend would tell me that the sketchiness helps with the narrative- and honestly, she was right!
Thus I tried to add some subtle sketchiness on pages 7-11 on part one! I wonder if people noticed that detail...?
Anyways, time for some fun behind the scenes stuff...!
Here's the very first concept of my Original Dragon design, including his human form!
You can tell I did some adjustments in the final product, but I really wanted to make sure this dragon had characteristics of the tao trio in some way, plus-- I wished for him to have a unique sort of feel- kinda ethereal? I also gave a teeny bit of eastern dragon influence because...well...tao trio. The tail is actually inspired by a plasma engine!
It's why I gave it a bit of a swirl to it- ...kinda reminds me of ice cream-
His human design...well, I wished to make sure he looked like the princes yeah-? He is their dad after all! So I made sure to reflect that- Same with his clothing as well!
Ah right...I should show the design of our princes yes...?
WHOA WHOA WHOA-- those faces...
Hmm... I wonder if people can start piecing together why this au is called the "Twin Princes AU" with this and what was told in this comic...?
The design in itself was conceptualized by a rough idea my friend sent me a whiiiiiile back, but asked me to refine it further! Make it fancy, royal, elegant--!! You get the point. XD Though this is the finalized design i came up with as I brainstormed this comic! I hope I could convey how magical yet refined they are!
As for Kyurem....oh my! What a reveal as well huh?
What a throwback....! I drew these a while back!
Well, there's certainly some familiar design choices...! And another clue to this whole puzzle- unless some of you have figured it out! Let me know through my ask box! ;D
I really didn't expect such a warm reception towards this au me and my pal cooked up last year. To think mixing concepts from our ocverse (GUARDiANverse) with pokemon could work so well...! I suppose fantastical elements mixing with another fantastical setting aint such a bad idea...! This AU has kinda expanded since it's conception... to a point of having other stories of other characters that take place in this version of the pokemon world!
Though for now, I may need a bit of a breather. 20 pages was QUITE the endeavor! Yet...that doesn't mean I wouldn't be opposed to tell more of my tale in other ways! Shoot me an ask, tell me! Who knows, I may answer with a doodle comic!
For now, I'll just slowly cook my next idea! Maybe I should give the witness to these tales some spotlight...? I dunno...but honestly, feel free to shoot asks.
Well, I hope you all can be patient with me in the meantime!
#submas#sbms#pokemon#twin princes au#aura's art#oh man it feels good to finally show this to it's completion!#I was having quite the rough time while trying to finish this...making things take way too long#I also participated in the PokeMas art contest too! ...in which delayed things further#haha woops...! but i really wanted to give it a shot!#oh right! I also added a Ko-Fi link- i wasn't sure if to put it there...but it's there if you want to have a way to tip me!#I just hope it's not too invasive x'D#once again...thank you for the support thus far and for being so patient with me! i really appreciate it#im not used to such positive feedback and it means a lot that this many people are interested in our story

BUT! BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP. I must mention, yandere yanfei would be fucking scary - speaking from experience,
i had a friend who was deeply invested with law and she was scary, her presence was threatening but she was a crackhead. She was planning to become a lawyer, she knew about every law in almost every country. Everytime I'd joke about "am i breaking the law?" She would go full on judge mode and I'd have to play irl ace attorney. One time i asked her jokingly out of pure randomness "is it okay to kill someone?" AND SHE REPLIED WITH THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER READ, I half remember the words- sumn about like "if you hide the evidence good enough" and sumn about "murder is okay in [somewhere i can't fully remember]" BUT I SWEAR I REMEMBER SHE SAID "we could go on a trip there" then another day out of pure curiosity i asked her about what the fuck a written contract is, i didn't pay attention but i payed the most attention when she said "a written contract cannot be broken parties can get out of written contracts in many ways. For instance, if the contract wasn't created adequately, courts will declare it not to be binding. Also, a contract is unenforceable when the terms are unconscionable - in other words, when the contract is patently unfair to one of the parties. The actual terms of a contract might also contain conditions under which the contract will be dissolved." (i actually had to copy and paste that from our group chat.) that last part scared the living shit out of me??
So what I'm getting from yan! yanfei is that she can quite literally make sure you ain't leaving her by legal means and can get away with murder. All thanks to my law fanatic of a friend.
-🦀
YOU. YOU FRICKING GET ME–
Yandere!Yanfei is such a fricking gold mine of so many potential plots, like imagine being her pen pal. She seems like the sweetest authentic person out there as she sends her rap lyrics and other things she likes to compose. Yanfei invites pen pal!darling in the chasm since they're a tourist and she purposely leads them to a dangerous place until they got injured.
That's not what scares the darling, no. Their favorite pen pal starts saying ominous things about conservatorship. What's worse is that Yanfei speaks of it in a light-hearted manner, as if she's certain that they'll never be able to recover their legs. When pen pal!darling stubbornly attempts to debate with the xiezhi, she laughed. Her laughter echoes in the vast emptiness of the chasm.
"You think I come across as quite imposing when presenting these facts? Don't be, after all, we'd be spending most of our time together for now on."

My laptop broke down today, could you please help me repair it?
Sure pal. Just fling it down your nearest gaping chasm and I'll get to it eventually.

If your main 10 OCs were Pokémon gym leaders, what would their gyms be?
Okay, well considering most of them already have an elemental magic “type” to them, but I’ll be creative here. Also please note the Unova region was my first and is still my favourite so most Pokémon used are from there. They live in a neighbouring region just NorthEast of Unova where most Pokémon spill over, and there are overlapping Pokémon from other regions.
Easily enough, Rex and Ted would share a gym and it would be the fire-type gym. They’re the Fire Twins, after all. Assuming their gym would be the first one, then you’d have to fight them both at once. To travel the gym, one would have to press switches to turn off the flamethrowers that block your path. There would be three other gym trainers, each with a Pansear. Rex’s line-up would be Charmeleon, Ponyta and a Lillipup. Ted’s line-up would be Houndour, Darumaka and also a Lillipup. (They got the Lillipups together, it’s their starters)
The second gym would be Hami’s. Her specialty is rock and ground types. In order to travel her gym you’ll need to have rock smash HM, and there would only be two other trainers, one with a Sandshrew, the other with two Roggenrola. The gym is a cave-like maze, and every so often, wild Zubats and Woobats show up, although they’re very low-level so they aren’t too hard to get past. Hami’s line-up would be Boldore, Sandile, and of course her very first Pokémon, her beloved Sandslash.
After Hami’s gym you would travel North to where it’s icy and cold, to Ivy’s gym. Her specialty is ice Pokémon, but it’s also dog-like Pokémon. Her gym would be an ice-rink, of course, but each trainer within has a Herdier and a Cubchoo. There are three levels and each level has two trainers to battle, except for the one right before Ivy. He has a Vanillite and two Spheals. Ivy herself has an Alolan Ninetails that she got as her first Pokémon when she used to live in Alola. Her other two Pokémon are a Noctolf and a female Absol.
Fourth would be two towns that are so close together, their gyms are right next to each other, each one on the outskirts of their own town. They are called Earth and Sky, and you have to defeat Earth before you can fight Sky. The gyms belong to Tweet and Elsa respectively of course. Tweet’s team are all grass types of course. In his gym, you have to climb the green vines to go up a level, and slide down the blue vines. There are ten other trainers in his gym with various grass Pokémon. Tweet’s team is his beloved Servine, a Simisage, and two Budew that he nicknamed Buddy and Pal.
Elsa’s gym you can only take one after you prove to her you’re ready. Assuming it’s a regular Pokémon game, you do that after a run-in with the Team that kidnaps Ducky and her Caterpie. After you help Elsa and Tweet save Ducky and Caterpie, Elsa let’s you challenge her gym. Elsa’s gym is a flying type gym, and has paintings of various bird Pokémon all over the place. Elsa travels the world painting different bird Pokémon of each region. Each painting is done by her. Some of the paintings have a hidden door to the next room. You have to choose the right painting that answers riddles you’re given. Behind each correct door is a trainer with the Pokémon on the painting you just passed through. Elsa’s team is her two Unfezant, one female one male, a Swanna, and her darling Noctowl.
Sixth gym leader is Kyle Wu. His element is usually weather, but that doesn’t really match up well to Pokémon types (except flying, but that was easily Elsa’s), so I give him the electric gym. His gym would be a huge chasm that you have to step on the right clouds to pass. Step on the wrong cloud and it will poof, sending you falling to the safety net below, where you have to take an elevator back to the start. I’m not sure what the clouds would be, like how you know the right from the wrong ones but there would probably be like a puzzle or something. Anyway, Kyle Wu’s line up would be an Emolga, a Zebstrika, a Luxray and a Manectric.
The seventh gym would be Victoria’s. She would be a dark type leader I feel. Her gym would not have any other trainers, and it would be in a haunted mansion where wild dark and ghost type Pokémon would be. You’d have to follow a maze of clues to find seven switches that will open doors for you. The last switch opens a door to Victoria. Her lineup would be a Scrafty, a Liepard, Zoroark, and an Umbreon. Her gym would also be located outside of town, down a long grassy road, so trainers should pack lots of potions.
The eighth gym is Damien’s and he would be, surprise surprise, a dragon gym leader. It’s either that or fire, and fire has been claimed. Damien’s gym would be a dark building lit only by fire torches on the walls. Ace trainers will be hanging around with various Axew and other dragon types. The building has no special tricks besides that. Damien would be sitting upon a throne when you arrive to fight him. His Pokémon team are a Haxorus, Hydreigon, Garchomp, Dragonair and a Salamence.
Ming COULD be the champion, but to humour you, if she had her own gym it would be Normal Type or Water Type, and she would have the very first gym because as much as she has powerful Pokémon, she also loves to care for the little ones and raise them and give them love. Ming prefers to travel anyway and switch her Pokémon each in turn, and wouldn’t be happy as a gym leader. She has beaten all the others though.
Anyway, that’s the line-up.
The Champion is Sky.

Author notes: After a disturbing dream the rest of the day was pretty normal for the Avengers.
<<Chapter 5
〰️〰️〰️〰️
It's so cold. The fall should have killed him but somehow he's still alive. His left arm hurts so much and he tries to lift it but it won't move. Painfully he turns his head to his side and sees a bloody mess where his arm used to be.
"No, no, no...," he whispers. "My arm, I've lost my arm."
He takes stock of where he is now, at the bottom of a chasm between the mountains. How did he get here? His arm hurts again and he screams at the pain. He fell, that's right, he fell from the train. Steve tried to reach him but he fell before they could touch hands.
"Steve...Steve...I'm sorry pal. This is the end of the line for me."
He looks to the other side and sees he's on a ridge. There is a sound of water past the ridge. If he can just get there he can end it. End the pain. End the certainty of freezing to death. He's tries to move but all he feels is pain. He's broken, too broken to end things on his terms.
"FUCK!" he screams, over and over again.
A few minutes later he is calmer, more accepting of how he will die, the slow descent into darkness. He thinks of his parents and his sister. He thinks of all the women he slept with starting at the beginning. He was 17, she was 19 and fast. Cora thought he was pretty and he took advantage of it. But she taught him a lot so that the next one, a few months later, Jean was her name... she was so pretty and willing, he made her come first and discovered women liked that, made them feel he was taking care of them. He was sleepy and it was hard to remember the next one. Beatrice, that was it. Catholic, had gone to school in a convent. She was wild for him. They almost got caught by her dad as he fucked her in her parent's garage, in the back seat of her dad's car. He wasn't cold anymore, in fact he felt warm and using his right hand he slowly, painfully unbuttoned his jacket. The effort exhausted him and he forgot where he was in remembering all the women. It didn't matter, there were so many and they all mixed together into one image. A strange but compelling face, blonde, almost white hair. Who was she? He didn't remember her. He would have....
"Jade," Bucky whispered, stroking her hair. "Sweetheart, you're dreaming. Wake up."
She opened her eyes, confused at first that she wasn't on the snowy ridge anymore. Raising her left hand she was surprised to see her arm was still there. Bucky stroked her hair again and she realized she had been in his memories, the ones she had stored during their mental connection. She touched his face and he kissed her gently, asked if she was okay.
"I'm alright," she said. "Bad dream but I'm back here with you now. Can you hold me until I fall asleep again?"
She nestled her head into his arms and he pulled her body closer to him. His hand found its way to her hair, her soft silky hair that he couldn't touch enough. Making her feel safe was good, good for him as well. It calmed him and made him feel needed.
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever
The search is over
You were with me all the while
The Search is Over by Survivor
The word was out about the gemstone finds on the brief search of the wash where the rain had stirred up the old waterway. A few days after finishing building up the roadway almost everyone wanted to try their hand at finding a treasure in the flotsam left behind in the wash. Both Jade and Ma instructed people on what to look for. The best moment was when Ma found gold, a small scattering in a pocket gouged out by the rain. The metal, being heavy, stayed at the bottom of the pocket in little flakes that most people would overlook. But Ma had noticed a glint and investigated further, finding the little bonanza. There wasn't a lot, but it was enough to melt into a tiny rough bar that could go a long way on the next provision trip. There were even some pieces of driftwood that must have floated on top of the water flow for miles to reach them. Ma had the guys drag them back to the Bunker, said they could be used for carving, burning in a bonfire or leaving as is for a rustic but meaningful piece of natural art.
Jade took Bucky out to a section where no one else was looking and they stopped to kiss and caress each other before searching. He watched her intently as she kept her eyes down to the ground looking for good candidates.
"Where did you learn all of this?" he asked.
"From Ma," she said. "I was homeschooled because Ma thought the authorities would come after me. She has her nursing degree so she isn't unschooled herself. We used a home schooling organization for most of it. Ma threw out the religious stuff saying I had already had enough of that. We went to the Library, she bought books. Taught herself jewelry making by using YouTube, then taught me. We've done the same with Ben."
"It's really hit a chord with everyone," he said. "This wash is full of gemstones and we didn't know how valuable they were. It took you to show us."
"Fossil!" she exclaimed, running to the side of the wash.
There were bones sticking out and she dropped to her knees to dig out more of it. Bucky kneeled down with her to uncover it but they soon realized it was bigger than they thought. Digging into his pocket Bucky pulled out a small GPS unit.
"We use these in case we get lost," he said. "The Bunker coordinates are loaded in as home base. If we get lost we just use this and hike back to the right coordinates. I can save the location of these bones so that when things get back to normal we can let a university know for their palaeontology department."
"Good thinking," she said. "Oh look, a piece of jade."
She dug her finger into the soil below the fossil and pried up a small piece of jade. The top of it had been scoured by the action of the flood waters. She held it up.
"It's the same colour as your eyes," he said, smiling. "May I have it? I have an idea for a project I can use it in."
"A project?" she laughed. "Anything I should know about?"
"I'm an open book," he replied. "You know you could always look and find out."
She kissed him. "No, I'll only go in if you allow me," she answered.
He pulled her close and kissed her passionately, both of them on their knees in the soft sandy dirt of the wash. His hand was in her soft hair and he caressed her head through it as they kissed sensuously. When they finished he kept his face near hers, feeling her breath on his face.
"I can't get enough of you," he said softly. "You mean everything to me."
"You know that I saw this before," she replied. "I saw us kissing, making love and I wanted to show you all of it but you weren't ready."
"I'm ready for a lot more," he said, kissing her again.
He pressed himself into her and she felt his arousal. "Later," she whispered and pulled away to stand up.
He stayed on his knees a moment longer before reluctantly standing with her. She was already bending over peering around the ground. He fingered the jade in his hand before putting it in the small coin pocket in his jeans. He could start making the ring now.
As they got closer to the Bunker they could hear Buddy barking excitedly. A piece of wood flew through the air and the dog came flying near them to catch it before it hit the ground. It landed near some quartz and Jade went down on her knees to use her fingers to dig it out. Bucky kneeled down to help and they discovered it was a huge piece, only the tip of it showing above the ground.
"Hold on," he said. "I've got something that will pry it up."
Running to the workshop he came back with a pick axe and a shovel. Jade moved back as he hit the dirt all around the quartz with the pick axe. In all the directions it hit more rock. Using the shovel he tested the ground to see how far away he had to go before he hit normal ground. It was over ten feet wide.
"This is a quartz vein," said Jade. "There's a good chance there's gold in it. It might be in powder form though. We can only extract it by crushing the quartz and putting the powder in a pan with water, swishing it around and watch for the gold to sink. Hit it with the pick axe and see if you can chip a piece off."
She stepped back and Bucky took a swing at the quartz. He knocked off a piece and Jade took a close look at it but couldn't tell for sure.
"Ma has more experience with gold prospecting," she said. "You should mark this location so we can come back to it."
Buddy came flying back at a stick thrown in their way and they heard Peter and Ben laughing. They both shook their heads at the unlikely friendship between 20 year old Peter and 10 year old Ben. The next time the stick came out to them Bucky picked it up and threw it back at the boys, hitting Peter on the thigh.
"Ow, Bucky!" he yelled.
"You've almost hit us a few times, kid!" he yelled back. "Throw it somewhere else."
"Good arm," said Jade, as they walked slowly in. "Were you always this good or is it a super soldier thing?"
"A bit of both," he said. "Pitcher in baseball, quarterback in football. The serum enhances the abilities. Don't know how Steve got so good at it, he was literally the 98 pound weakling. He was always picking fights though. Didn't like bullies. Neither do I."
"We thought of putting Ben in regular school but he marches to the beat of his own drum," said Jade. "I worry that he has doesn't have any peer friendships. Even Peter is too old for him, really."
"Peter's been where Ben is," said Bucky, tossing the quartz chunk up in the air as he walked. "Smart at a young age, socially awkward. He was 14 when he first kicked my ass. Then he was lost in the Snap. So was I, Sam, and Wanda."
They walked without talking for a few more minutes, eyes lowered to the ground searching for gemstones.
"You used the time travel machine that they used to get the stones to go back for Steve," said Jade. "You weren't even sure it would work."
"Bruce and I took the quinjet to what used to be the Avengers compound in upstate New York," he said. "We left the machine in storage there after Steve returned to the past. It was risky, because there was a lake nearby and you know how the Others are about water. We gambled there were still Pym particles in storage with it and there were. I went back with an extra suit and enough particles for Steve and Peggy to come back with me. We thought of going back for Tony, Vision and Natasha but their timelines ended and couldn't start up again in the future."
He stopped and looked at her squinting up at him in the bright sunlight. Never had he dated a woman who looked like her. Most of the blondes he had known were bottle blondes, but hers was the real thing.
"What?" she asked. "Do I remind you of someone?"
"No," he replied. "Most blondes I knew were bottle blondes. Your hair is natural and so much more beautiful. Were your parents this blonde?"
"I think my dad was," she said. "I have no memory of what my mother looked like. Ben looks more like his dad. Do you want kids?"
"Someday," he admitted. "I was pretty wild, chased a lot of girls, but I always thought I would end up with a nice wife and family after the war. HYDRA took care of that. I, um... never mind."
He started walking again, holding the shovel and pick axe in one hand, and Jade smiled. He had broadcast his mind pretty openly in that little pause and she knew he was going to ask if she would have another. She jogged a little to catch up with him and put her arm around his waist. He smiled and put his free arm around her shoulder. They kept walking, stopping once in a while to pick up an interesting looking rock. The time they spent together was pretty tame by entertainment standards but they were both content and happy to be in each other's company.
"Have you learned to ride yet?" she asked. "I've been out a few times and I like it. When Clint goes home I'm going to take over looking after the horses. Maria has been helping as well."
"I've been out a couple of times," he admitted. "It wasn't pretty. I am a city boy after all, Brooklyn. A motorcycle is more my taste. I rode one sometimes when I was the Soldier and I remember feeling free on it."
He heard his name being called and he saw Ma waving to him. Jade either didn't hear or was ignoring her mother. Looking at his watch he realized he was a few minutes late for an appointment with Ma to teach him how to make jewelry.
"I just remembered I have a meeting," he said. "Can I catch you later, before supper?"
She nodded and he bent over, kissing her sweetly. He took the quartz from her and took it with him. Ma thought messaged him that Jade was watching so he went inside the Bunker instead and met Ma in the workshop by going through the interior door. Jade turned away and headed for Peter and Ben instead. They asked if she wanted a bonfire with some of the driftwood, in the interior courtyard.
"I'm pretty sure we have the fixings for s'mores," said Ben. "We would ask but us being kids Steve might say no."
"Let's go see if we have the fixings first," said Jade.
She went inside with the boys and sure enough there were marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate chips. Next they had to find Steve and they brought it up to him. He actually liked the idea but when Jade said she wanted to look in the workshop for something to use for toasting forks he said he was headed there and would look himself if the boys and her would bring the wood around. Peter was breaking the wood apart with his hands thoroughly impressing Ben. Steve met them out there about ten minutes later with coat hangers twisted into toasting forks. The plan was made to start the bonfire just after sunset at 7 pm.
After such a beautiful day supper was just as good with everyone in the common room laughing, joking and eating. It was Sam and Maria's turn to cook and Sam had made jambalaya. He made two pots of it, one spicy and one not so spicy. Jade had never had it before so she had the not so spicy. Bucky, eating the spicy version, rolled his eyes after the first spoonful.
"Sam," he yelled. "God, I've missed your cooking. No one makes jambalaya like you."
"Thanks man," said Sam, genuinely pleased. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"
"Too long," said Bucky, standing up and coming to him. "I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry."
Sam looked at him for a moment, then nodded. "So am I, brother," he said. "I've missed you. It's all in the past, agreed?"
Bucky nodded and the two men became friends again, giving each other a pound hug. Steve looked at Jade and smiled, nodding his head. Bucky sat back down next to Jade and she nudged him on the shoulder with her head. For dessert Maria had made banana chocolate cake using the overripe bananas no one had wanted to eat. Again people were giving multiple thanks for it. By the time everyone else cleaned up the fire outside was started, the s'mores fixings brought out and an assortment of benches from the workout room were assembled around the fire. Jade got a little chilled despite the fire and Bucky ran into their room bringing out his jean jacket and placing it around her shoulders. It was much too big for her but she rolled up the sleeves and said it was hers now. Ma told a ghost story. Peter and Ben talked people into playing charades. Clint was cajoled into singing after Jade said she heard him sing to the horses. He said he would only do it if she sang as well. They sang Friends in Low Places and got everyone clapping in time to it. Bucky mentioned Steve could sing, being in the church choir.
"That was supposed to help my asthma and it was before my voice changed, Bucky," said Steve. "I only know stuff from the 40s like you. Wait, I've got it, I have a good one."
He started belting out Singing in the Rain and everyone joined in. For the next two hours they sang, ate s'mores, joked and laughed. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable evenings the Avengers had ever had as a group in the Bunker. Even Bruce stayed for the entire time sitting beside Ma. When the fire died down to embers the men brought buckets of dirt and sand to put out the fire. Bucky put his arm around Jade and Ben, herding them home.
"I heard you and Peter thought of this," said Bucky to Ben. "Nicely done, it was a lot of fun."
"Thanks, Bucky," he replied. "It was such a nice day and we both thought it would be a nice way to end it. Um, if you two want to have noisy sex Peter said I could sleep on his couch. I don't mind, really."
Bucky shook his head feeling affection for the boy. Ben was the most direct kid he had ever met. His honesty shone through.
"Sure Ben," he said. "That's very thoughtful of you."
"Take your toothbrush," said Jade, smiling, as he ran in to get a change of clothes. "How thoughtful, really, that's your take on it?"
"What else do you say to a ten year old who knows you're having sex with his mom?" asked Bucky. "We are having noisy sex, aren't we?"
"His birthday is next week," she suddenly said. "I don't have anything to give him."
"I've got you covered," said Bucky. "Ma alerted me and we've been making him something from all of us."
"Tell me what you did," she demanded.
"Nope," he said. "It's going to be a surprise."
She squeezed his waist. When they got inside the room they could smell woodsmoke so Bucky pulled Jade into the shower with him.
"We have ten minutes of water," he said, "before it automatically shuts off. As much as I would love to make love in here I don't relish the thought of being covered in soap when the water stops."
Quickly they soaped each other down and rinsed off then enjoyed kissing and caressing under the water until it shut off suddenly. Jade wrapped her hair up in a towel then another around herself while Bucky did the same. Picking her up he carried her to the bed and got on it beside her.
"We smell so much better now," he said, kissing her neck and playfully pulling at her towel.
Putting his hand into her hair the head towel came off and he suddenly kissed her deeply and sensuously. This time he undid her towel and pulled it away from her body then pushed her down below him. Laying on top of her he stroked her hair while kissing her softly.
"This was one of the best days of my life," he said softly. "Because you were there with me for most of it."
He kissed her deeply again and she drew him in closer with her arms. "You're overdressed," she whispered, tugging at his towel.
Smiling, he reached under himself and pulled it off. "That better?" he asked.
She nodded and caressed his bottom, then ran her hands up his back. He raised himself so he was on all fours then kissed her body starting at her breasts and working his way down. When he got to her pubic area he slowed down nuzzling her lower abdomen and the top of her thighs before gently opening her and licking inside. Her back arched immediately and she gave a short sigh as he found the parts of her that aroused her. As she ran her hands through his hair she raised her hips into him and he went down harder on her, making her body twitch. He started to caress and squeeze her thighs before pressing down on them and trapping them under his arms.
"James," she panted. "I love your tongue."
"I love yours, baby," he purred, as he sucked lightly on her clitoris and she gasped. "Do you want to come now or when I'm in you?"
"Both," she whispered, as she squirmed under him.
Smiling he increased his pace on her and had her straining to come as he held her legs down. When she suddenly tensed and cried out he released her legs and gently squeezed them to move the blood through them. Wiping his face with the towel he laid between her legs nuzzling her breasts then moving up to her neck.
"Well, I'm half done," he whispered in her ear.
"Mmmm," she hummed. "I should have said yes that first night. Your tongue...."
As he stroked himself to become hard again she leaned over and gently licked him before taking him into her mouth. He caressed her silky soft hair as she brought him to the edge before stopping and holding the tip of him.
"Why are you stopping?" he gasped.
"Just wait a little and let the sensation lessen," she said softly. "Then it will be more intense when you're in me."
They kissed and caressed until Bucky entered her again. Quickly the intensity increased for both of them and when they came together they cried out loud at the intensity of it. Bucky laid in Jade for some time, kissing her face and neck still recovering from the emotion it had ignited in him.
"My beautiful Jade," he whispered emotionally, "I would die for you. If it ever came to that I would lay my life down to save yours."
"Shh, babe," she soothed him. "Just stay in me, stay with me. I love you being in me, being part of me."
Eventually he pulled out and lay his head in her arms, just as he had envisioned that day in the workout room. He never wanted to be anywhere else other than with her. When he finished the ring he would ask her, and he would commit his life to her, his gem, his Jade.

Who did you take with you into Copperbell Mines, or did you enter alone? How did you feel about the twisting mineshafts, rickety elevators, and sheer drops inside the caves? How did you feel about the Giants, did you attack first or try to reason with them? Did you character learn the buried history of the mine - that magic was used to enslave the Giants and they eventually rebelled, leading the Sultanate of Ul'dah to collapse the lower tunnels 300 years ago, trapping them inside?
Back in those early days, Aeryn ended up entering Copperbell, like the others, with a few friends from the Adventurers' Guild--namely, Dark Autumn and C'oretta Khell. They weren't quite calling themselves an adventuring party, the way some of the others did, but they could ask each other for aid; Dark had asked for help in Tam-Tara, and Sastasha was one of Aeryn's first meetings with the Gage Acq crew (cuz sorry not sorry, have to have @erickgage present in both versions of Sastasha in all RP canons for FC In-Joke Reasons), so she relied on her pals there again to help in the Mines.
Traversing those crumbling shafts, rickety walkways and elevators, the closeness of the tunnels versus the sudden yawning chasms was definitely terrifying in its own way, complicating clearing out the vermin, and then also dealing with violent giants.
They did learn the history of the mine; what the Sultanate of eld had done to these people. And they made some attempts at subduing and reasoning with the giants. But between the magic used on them, the centuries of stasis simmering in their anger, and the threat they posed to the adventuring party as well as common folk, there wasn't much option given.
It actually shook C'oretta a bit, to learn that bit of history. Not a surprise, entirely, she's well aware of things Ul'dah does in the modern era. But the more she learns of her nation's past, and the nasty ways they've always used to get and stay ahead at the cost of so many other people, the more determined she is to aid in Nanamo's attempts at reform, to air out all the dirty laundry and make it known, and then move forward to be better from there.

snapshots || erin x jay
‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ . ┊ Erin and Jay rebuild a relationship, one letter, one postcard, one snapshot at a time.
➺ warnings: none
✧ a/n: this is an extremely different way of writing a fic, and it took me foreverrrrrr to design everything, but I am so proud of it. I think it turned out really cool, and I’m looking forward to expanding the way I write... Expect more fun things along these lines. I’ve got awesome stuff planned.
↬ like this work? let me know! comments help encourage writers to write more and let them know that you liked what they wrote :)
★ requests are open–I write for a number of fandoms! just ask :)
☆ comments + reblogs are greatly appreciated ☆
A month goes by before Erin has the courage to respond. She hurt Jay--she knew she did, knew she was creating a chasm between the two of them, but she knew she would never be able to leave Chicago if Jay asked her to stay. And so, she hadn’t given him the option.
But how do you tell someone that you left because you were afraid of being someone’s everything?
Jay isn’t quite sure how to respond. He still loves Erin--probably always will, but she took his heart and threw it on the ground. Sure, he had broken up with her, but he regretted it as soon as he did it.
So why did the words stick in his mouth? Why hadn’t he asked her to stay? Why hadn’t HE stayed?
He doesn’t respond for a while.
When he does, he texts.
The two of them begin to exchange more and more each evening, and before Jay knows it, they’ve been conversing regularly for months. He writes her back, too, and they become pen pals of a sort.
He finally plucks up the courage to visit her in New York, and the two hash out long awaited problems, but they’re both glad they did.
True to his word, Jay fights tooth and nail to get Erin restated on the force. They both know Erin belongs in Chicago--as a detective, with Intelligence. It’s her family, and you don’t just walk away from family.
Anxiety plagues Erin. She’s terrified that now that she’s back in Chicago, it’ll all fall apart.
Jay is terrified that Erin will feel trapped and helpless again, cornered and unable to ask for help. He’s terrified that she’ll leave, anxiety overwhelming her when they both know that this is exactly where she’s meant to be.
Finally, Jay gets the question right. Partners come and go, jobs come and go, but not Erin. She’d always come back to him.

Not me re-binging Final Contact 😫😫 High key think Vephar and Rukkhadehvata would have been besties. They both seem to have that ethereal grace and wisdom to them.
(Side note: Don’t know how much you care for vocaloids but the song Kilmaa is now interwoven in my brain with your work)
HONESTLY it does sound like god darling would've been good pals with the dendro archon, old and new. as the god of sand, they've always wanted to see the expanse of sumeru's desert... but they have to settle for paintings/written depictions of it. there are a lot of times where god darling just hangs out around the division of liyue and the surrounding nations. while they're not the biggest fan of staring at mondstadt because it reminds them of freedom they'll never obtain, staring at the sumeru skyline is peaceful. they'll sit on the edge of the chasm for hours and simply admire the lush scenery.
zhongli is getting in the way of a most precious god darling and kusanali friendship... smh... god darling would find her absolutely endearing; wanting to help her people but not feeling she's capable of doing so. it'd wreck their heart.
i love the thought of god darling becoming like. this parental figure to everyone they come across because DAMN they're old. they radiate grandparent energy. whatever the teyvat equivalent if this is has to be their signature dish or something, because they see anyone younger than them (which is 99.99% of the population) and immediately get the overwhelming urge to Dote.

Hello! I was wondering, in the post where you listed your current asks you said you have a few other fic ideas for after you were done with requests (I think it was angst fluff and smut). I was wondering what ideas you had for those? Like what characters you plan on using or what the fics were gonna be about
Hello there! If I recall correctly, I mentioned two angst drafts. But yes, I have a plenty of ideas from all three genres. Let me open up my word doc, where I keep my ideas, and list a few.
Hurt/Comfort: Shinobu x M!Reader
Desc: Shinobu has a breakdown in the Chasm, her stoic resolve shattering under the realisation that she might as well die there. R is there to help.
A cute little idea I might get around to writing some day. Why Shinobu? Because best girl, that's why.
Angst: Breakup HCs for Beidou and Ei
It's about 95% done - it has been for over a month by now. Why didn't I release it then? Well, I'm not satisfied with how Beidou's part turned out. But then again, I'm not satisfied with most of my writing, yet you guys seem to enjoy it. When I finish requests (4 left as of now, 3 smut and 1 fluff) I'll take a look at it.
Angst: Issues of Genshin girls
Characters: Jean, Eula, Rosaria, Keqing, Ganyu, Ayaka, Miko, Shinobu, Sara
I have a draft of it on Tumblr, but I focused on doing requests lately. I'm of an opinion that 'the best food is made by a hungry chef' applies to writing as well. The best fluff comes out when you're happy, the best smut when you're thirsty, best angst when you're soul-crushingly sad. It's back to school time (I had two weeks of winter break) so writing angst is a lot easier. Haha... :(
Smut: Childe & M!Reader x Keqing
Desc: Childe gets some highly valuable blackmailing material in his hands, and wants to use it to have some fun with his best pal on an otherwise boring day. Keqing has to make a choice.
A nasty little fic with blackmailing and dubious consent included. The '&' is quite important here, as it would be straight smut, with no action between Childe and R. Will most likely remain unwritten.
Smut: Yae Miko x M!Reader x Gorou
Okay, this one might be a surprise. The fic would inculde awful stuff like mind break, brain washing and slavery (you can guess who's the victim). I know I said that I only write hetero smut, and I stand by that - I'm not certain if I like the idea enough to make an exception. But I have considered it.
Don't ask where I got these ideas. Past me clearly thought these were worth writing down, so here we are. He is quite weird, that guy.
Smut: Empress!Ei x Shogun!M!Reader x Sara
Desc: Ei and Reader reward Sara for her loyalty and uneding devotion.
Because Sara deserves it. This is the oldest smut idea I've written down.
Smut (Warhammer Fantasy): Karl Franz x Miao Ying
Desc: Karl goes on a trip to China to establish trade relations. When he gets to the palace, it turns out he left his wallet at home. How will he pay me now, thinks the dragon empress, already having a different form of payment in mind...
This idea came to be because of one diplomacy line. And the fact that, out of all the ordertide leaders, it is Franz that gets the damsels. It is confirmed by SEGA, Games Workshop, and Marek Suski. Don't check that, just trust me.
Whump: Abusive!Rosaria x M!Reader
Desc: Rosaria comes home drunk, and her kidnapped boytoy is in big trouble. Beating, cutting, and a pair of long nails are involved. I'll leave it up to your imagination where the nails go.
Very horrible idea, 'inspired' by the movie Grotesque. Don't watch it under any circumstances. It's very nasty.
Art: ModernAU!Shinobu smoking on the rooftops.
She is just such a vibe. Maybe, maybe in a year's time I'll do it. I still can't draw.
Okay, that's the first page of seven. Maybe some of these will see their own posts. But I don't know.

i'm a fan of lots of stuff—mostly indie games, but also a few shows and some musical artists (ex: anamanaguchi, harumaki gohan). right now, i'm mostly just here to appreciate art of things like yume 2kki without getting hit with a login wall when i scroll a few inches down, though i also have some friends here from other platforms.
if you have a question for me, i guess you can send me an ask? i barely know how asks work, but i think that's what you're supposed to do--

omori
undertale/deltarune
hollow knight
oneshot
celeste
earthbound
yume nikki/yume nikki fangames

manga: houseki no kuni, mairimashita! iruma-kun
michael j sullivan books
harumaki gohan
anamanaguchi
ghost and pals
muse
welcome to night vale
various webcomics, including: cursed princess club, this isekai maid is forming a union, tales from alderwood, castoff, unfamiliar, xkcd
d&d (i dm for a party, but we barely ever play lol)
toki pona (i can kinda speak it, but i'm not fluent)
if you got through this whole thing, thanks for reading! (and if you didn't, i don't really blame you lol)

1. What did Clint say when Lucky followed him into the underworld?
Aw, hellhound, no!
—
Clint & Kate, Lucky & his new best buds, fluff of the demonic variety
—
“Four is starting to push it,” Clint says with a sigh.
Lucky wags his tail, unrepentantly overjoyed. It’s almost like he doesn’t understand what exasperated exhales mean.
Behind him, the writhing, roiling mass of hellhounds — there are four now, though it’s hard to tell with all their extra appendages — wag their tails too. Or at least that’s what Clint thinks is happening.
It’d been fine the first time, when Lucky returned to them after darting away to the depths of hell on a mission he sure as shit shouldn’t have followed them on. The first hellhound was way less scary than Clint had expected, based on the projections Dr. Strange had shown them. It was hard to find it frightening, with its burning eyes turned down, belly pressed low to the ground as it whined and rumbled at Clint’s approach.
It had been…acceptable, the second time, when Lucky and his new pal dashed off while Clint and Kate were distracted, trying to plot the best places to sink their grapple arrows into the rocky overhangs in order to cross the lava chasm. The hellhound they’d come back with that time let out the most piteous, gentle yips, rolling onto its back in submission when Kate swung down from the volcanic ceiling.
The third time, Clint woke up from a restless doze on the shadowy outcropping they’d settled on in the middle of another unending night, only to find Lucky cuddled up in a shadowy, slow-breathing mass of sleepy limbs, nose to nose with a new hellhound, the two others sprawled protectively against his back.
But really, four just seems excessive. He puts one hand on his hip, scratches the back of his neck with an arrow, and tells them as much.
“They’re pack animals, Clinton,” Kate says snidely. “What did you expect?” She sits on the ground to make herself less threatening to the harbingers of doom and death, offering an upturned palm.
From the mass of smoke and flames, a tentative nose peeks out, sniffing the sulfurous air. A second later, a forked tongue flops forward, trailing tendrils of flame that lick harmlessly along Kate’s outstretched hand. She giggles at the sensation, and encouraged by the sound, the hellhound nudges one of its heads into her palm. The force of it bowls her over, and before Clint can so much as nock an arrow to his bow, two massive, ghostly black paws are on either side of Kate’s shoulders, and the hellhound’s tongue is rasping warm, fiery kisses all over her face.
Clint blows out a breath. He knows exactly where this is going. “I’m pretty sure your lease doesn’t allow for hellhounds, Katie-Kate.”
Kate pushes aside the hellhound’s face, then two of the others who have tried to nudge into the fun. She rolls her eyes at Clint. “Then change the terms and conditions, landlord.”

oh wow i saw a rainbow!!! video of that coming soon

i have this head cannon that instead of just waking up byleth has to physically fight their way out of their brain if that makes sense. also sorry if this is annoying im just kinda info dumping lol /gen
it’s basically sothis just saying “think of everything that isn’t there, but also think about everyone you’ll leave behind if you give in”. cue some dramatic memory scene (im mainly thinking about this in terms of the blue lions route because my dimitri brainrot is insane) and byleth thinking “BRO I CANT LEAVE MY BUDDY PAL CHUMS BEHIND”.
just curious if this makes sense but am i the only one with this head cannon?
it isn’t annoying! :D /gen
holy shit i really like this idea though. Sothis reaching out to them with almost inaudible words and them trying to find her again, but they can’t see anything. eventually her words become crystal clear, but she’s still nowhere to be found. Byleth doesn’t want to leave her just yet. she’s all they have right now, in their dark void of a mind at the bottom of some chasm. but then she snaps.
“How can someone like you be the favourite of the professors, if you’re willing to neglect your former students just to talk to me?!”
Byleth’s eyes go wide. then they see the events of the Officer’s Academy flash before them, of how they grew close with their chosen class, of their birthday tea parties, of the promise they made to see each other again in just five years. (Blue Lions supremacy though) they hadn’t even thought about escaping until now.
“Think of everything out there that isn’t in here, and think of those you have left behind. You cannot give in. Go.”
then they awake. they’re cold, it’s getting dark, and when they shoot up and have a look around, everything looks desolate and empty or destroyed. is this really what happened when they were trapped? no matter. they’re here now. and they’re not stopping anywhere until they see any of their students.
