the concept of doing something irrational and risky and wrong and keeping it to yourself is... strange, to me. none of you will believe me, but i don’t tell my real life friends much about my mental health nowadays. but in the past, and sometimes still now on my bad days, i like making jokes out of it. everything is a performance. so i don’t get it. i want to do bad things and then i want to tell people that i did it. 
but apparently that makes me. more mentally healthy. because i can admit it and analyze it. i don’t want to analyze it. i don’t want to sound like i have self awareness because that is a bad thing for me. other people need more awareness, i need less. i have abandonment issues not because of people leaving me, but because my own symptoms leave me as soon as i recognize them. like i’m all better. 
so i want to do mentally ill things. it’s not natural and i always have to overplay it. i say i’m not aware i’m doing things that i am very aware i am doing. i just. lie. all the time. because i need people to know. i don’t know what about this method is flawed.

Tengen x Reader | A special massage
Hello everyone! ❤️
Here is an OS with Tengen. What else could it be. Please forgive me, but to him I think of the most ideas. Please have mercy. Thank you! I'm a little at war with this OS! Not if understand. I am more than happy with the OS. I could not have written it better. It's more about the continuation of the OS. About the second part. I had planned to write a second OS about it with a Lemon. How Tengen his dream looks like and Reader hers. I have started a thousand times and still have some beginnings, but Lemons are so not my forte. Because I got stuck on them, I got writer's block, which I haven't quite recovered from yet. I'll never be as happy with my writing as I was before. Maybe one day I'll manage to write the second part of it.
Anyway, have a good read!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are on a mission with the sound pillar. You have been on your feet since the early hours of the morning. You have not yet reached the location where the demon is supposed to be. The evening dawns slowly and you are already quite exhausted and tired. Tengen, on the other hand, is still fit and in high spirits, it seems. What else would you expect from a pillar? You, on the other hand, are a normal demon slayer without a particularly high rank.
The white-haired man runs a good distance ahead of you. That's no wonder. This man measures just under 2 meters. If he takes one step forward, that's two steps for you. You have a lot of trouble keeping up with him. But slowly but surely you run out of breath. You stop. Your legs hurt like hell. You rest your arms on your legs and regulate your breathing.
"Tengen..can we maybe take a break..? We've been on the road all day," you say breathlessly.
Tengen stops abruptly and looks behind him. A grin graces his lips. His magenta eyes pierce you. He suppresses a laugh.
"Can we not anymore, dear lady?" he teases you. You puff out your cheeks. This guy is outrageous. What does he actually allow himself?
"That's easy for you to say, Tengen. You're a damn pillar and one of the fastest, too. You don't mind this long walk. But I'm just a regular demon slayer. I'm not used to this."
"I'll take that as praise, my dear!", it's clear he's making fun of you. You're already under stress and irritated him even more. It's only a matter of time until -
"Hiccup!", there it is. Your as beloved hiccup. Better said stress hiccups. He keeps you company when you're logically under stress. Like right now.
"What the heck was that?" laughs Tengen.
"Shut up!" you grumble.
"Well, a little more respect, if you please. There's a guesthouse up ahead where we can spend the night.", he points his finger at a property a few meters away.
"Yeah *hiccup*, get in there then. I'm *hiccup* dog tired."
You enter the guesthouse. The lady at the reception informs you that there is only one room left. You clap your hands inwardly against your forehead. Today must be your unlucky day!
"We'll take it, thanks!"
"What *hiccup*?"
Tengen ignores your question, throws you over his shoulder and walks with you to your room. Every time you hiccup, Tengen gives you a slap on your butt. You don't like that, however you are busy with another problem. How are you going to get rid of those hiccups?
~*~
In the room, the sound pillar sets you down on your feet again. You immediately drop into bed and sigh once. This is followed by a hiccup.
"Sweet!" laughs Tengen.
"Shut up, will you? * hiccups* I really don't have the nerve for this right now.", you lie on the futon. One arm over your face.
"Then what do you have nerves for?", his voice is deeper and harsher than before. You sit up without hesitation. Tengen sits right next to you on the futon.
"Uh, Tengen *hiccups* my dear, in case you forgot, you're married. *hiccups* Would you give it a little distance?" you ask him. Your face resembles a tomato. He does the exact opposite. He moves closer to you so that your bodies are almost touching.
"How about a massage, huh?" he whispers in your ear in a smoky voice. His warm breath on your skin tickles you and makes you wince. This elicits a throaty laugh from Tengen.
*hiccups*
"Maybe this will help your hiccups."
He puts his hands on your shoulders and starts to massage them. Only now do you realize how tense you actually are. You weren't even aware of it before. You sigh a sigh of relief and lean towards the person behind you.
"That's right, lean back and enjoy the massage," the white-haired man breathes into your ear.
After what feels like half an hour, the massage stops. You wake up from your half-sleep. Your eyes blink a few times and you have to think about where you are for a moment. You sit up straight again and wait anxiously for something. The something does not appear. Your hiccups are gone. Thanks to Tengen!
"Oh, thank you, thank you, Tengen!" you fall around his neck.
"I don't accept that thank you," he says, dead serious. You look at him with wide eyes. What does he mean, please?
"I don't quite understand. What do you mean?"
"I want a massage from you, too," he grins cheekily at you.
Your look changes to one of annoyance. At moments like these, you wonder how the wives of Tengen can possibly put up with him. You must have nerves of steel. At least that's your opinion. Or after all these years, they've gotten used to it.
"Hm well, if it absolutely must be. Then turn around."
The taller one doesn't need to be told twice. Quick as the wind, he turns his back on you. You have to sit on your legs to even reach his shoulders. You take a deep breath and your hands start to massage Tengen. You have to use real force to get any effect at all through Tengen's muscle. You can't stand this procedure for long. Tengen's muscles are just too powerful for you.
"Sorry, I can't take any more. Your muscles are killing me."
"Then massage my lips.", confused, you look at the back of the sound pillar's head.
You just don't understand this man. What does he have for extra wishes? Who lets himself be massaged on the lip? This can only be a joke.
"You're kidding, right?" you ask, just in case.
"No.", you really smack your forehead this time.
"Alright, the Lord as he pleases," you roll your eyes.
Your fingers move from his shoulder to his chin and finally land on his lips. You massage his lips rather poorly and feel a little silly doing it. It feels like you're doing something wrong. But come hell or high water, you can't think of what the mistake is here. Tengen beats you to it. He takes your hands in his.
"What's this gonna be when it's done?"
"I wonder about that, too. You wanted to be massaged on the lip, after all."
"I meant a kiss."
"Oh..."
Silence settles around you. You're beyond embarrassed. How could you misunderstand. You just blame it on your tiredness. So, scapegoat found and you're off the hook. Think doll!
"I'm waiting!"
"For what?"
"For the kiss, my dear!"
"You can forget it, my friend. If you want a kiss, then go to your wives," you cross your arms in front of your chest.
"If you won't give it to me, then I'll go get it."
"You wouldn't dare."
Once again it shows that Tengen is one of the fastest. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed you and pulled you onto his lap. You couldn't see that fast. He takes your face and presses a kiss on your lips stormily. Your mind has shut down and you return the kiss. It turns into an intense French kiss. From lack of oxygen, you break away from each other.
Tengen grins at you stupidly. He enjoyed the kiss very much. You can see that in his face. Because your gaze is aimed at his pants, in which a small bulge can be seen. If the pants weren't cut so wide, it would be a bigger bump. Tengen's grin gives way. You both look at each other in shock.
"Um, I think we'd better stop now, or I'll ruin the mission by jumping all over you. So, good night, sleep tight.", he jumps on his futon and lies down to sleep.
"Uh yeah, you too." you say absentmindedly and lay down as well. You dream about Tengen that night, and he dreams about you. They are hot dreams.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you liked it! Any Requests? Write me. I don't bite. Neither do my cats. Maybe my inner wolf.
Read you next time!
Your Wolfi 🐺

Hey shall, what's your favourite/fun headcanons on why cas keeps getting resurrected at first I tought it was cause god/chuck liked him (like remember when ppl in the destiel fandom talked about how chuck ships them... good times) Then yea, that just didn't turn out to be true lol
Ohh, this is fun. I have some nice uplifting ones and one very evil one. I could probably come up with a ton of these, and I'm not feeling super eloquent this week, but have my mental popcorn instead:
CHUCK/NETWORK NEEDED CAS -> Popularity ...and it bit Chuck in the ass because he accidentally allowed Cas to grow more and more powerful, even when he (and the writers) worked so hard to weaken him and kill him off. I don't have the exact quotes, but I know there are numerous instances that imply the writers worked hard to weaken Cas.
When the writers have to work to make Cas weaker, and to make Dean and Sam stronger, it shows that Cas is the bigger threat, in terms of cosmic power.
Emotional consequences: Because Cas is important to Dean, Cas is often resurrected specifically because Dean loses hope without him. After his first death, Cas literarily functions as The Lost Husband/The Animal Bridegroom/The Artificial Husband for Dean specifically. Unlike characters like Sam's Amelia (season 8), Dean is obsessed with clinging to his loved ones, saying to CAS: "I did not leave you!" and to NAOMI through CAS: "Take it! But you're gonna have to kill me first. Come on, you coward. Do it. Do it!" In his insistance to look for Cas in Purgatory and keep not giving up on Cas, he sets himself apart from his many mirrors. He's a lot like the human consort in many of the “supernatural spouse” tales, brave and insistent in his trials, even when death separates him from his lover. NOTE: Amelia Novak also becomes a heroine in this regard when she decided to go looking for her "lost husband," Jimmy Novak but becoming ensnared and dies in season 10. ANYWAY, Dean and Cas tend to die when the other isn't around, and they both get so depressed it makes for pretty abysmal watching. Chuck doesn't like Cas, but he needs Cas because Dean needs Cas. Dean won't behave unless he has Cas with him. DEAN from 13x03: "This life, hunting, monsters, there’s no joy in it. There’s nothing but pain, horror and death." And DEAN from 13x05: BILLIE: Maybe you’re not that guy anymore, they guy who saves the world, the guy who always thinks he’ll win no matter what. You have changed. And you tell people it’s not a big deal. You tell people you’ll work through it but you know you won’t, you can’t and that scares the hell out of you. Or… am I wrong? DEAN: What do you want me to say? Doesn’t matter. I don’t matter.
///
TETHERED TO A BROTHER or TWIN -> Functions as a thrown lifeline; i.e. one shield must fall before the other can
Not Cas-specific, but so long as your "tethered" twin is alive you cannot die. We see this with Amara and Chuck, that taking out Chuck requires killing Amara. This appears often in SPN, like with Charlie and There's No Place Like Home and the Wizard. It makes you wonder if Michael and Lucifer are similar. If you squint, Chuck does not seem able to kill Michael in 15x19 until after Lucifer has been killed. Makes you wonder if that was his intent on having them kill each other all along. That by having one kill the other, he could finally take out the son-rivals, as in the style of archetypical God-father who, because of their immortality, sees sons as threat to power. So what does that mean for Cas? Not sure, but he could be tethered to an angel that's still living. Maybe jack himself? (Or Dean's soul, for that matter.) It's assumed that Jack wakes up Cas, but there's juicy potential for it to have been Dean doing it all along, something Jack tapped into when Dean was screaming in grief during the Sam fight: DEAN: He manipulated him, he made him promises, said, ‘paradise on earth’ and Cas bought it and you know what that got him? It got him dead! Now you might be able to forget about that, but I can’t! [JACK looks distressed outside the room.] JACK: Castiel. [JACK’S eyes glow gold.]
///
MANY OF CHUCK'S REBELLIOUS CHILDREN ARE ACTUALLY CURSED TO BE RISING-AND-DYING GODS
As to quote Gabriel, "they are like cancer," he has to eradicate them, as they represent wars of old which are no longer needed. I know the rising-and-dying deity motif is something of a modern configuration, but since it appears in Remember the Titans, you have to wonder if this is a nature intrinsic to Cas himself. As angels are unable to sleep, they are unable to die. From 8x16: ZEUS: Tell me, has Prometheus experienced the child's death yet? [HAYLEY gives a nod.] How did he take it? Did he hurt? [HAYLEY nods again.] Good. ...I never get tired of watching you die. [ZEUS, holding SHANE up, says it right into his ear.] Your boy is going on the mountain. (Interestingly, the mountain forward-references to the episode Moriah.) From 14x08: COSMIC ENTITY: Stop interrupting! Start paying attention. I'm taking him. And where I'm taking you is worse than Hell… because at least Hell is something. Ohh. Ohh, God, they look scared. Does that hurt you? Good… because I want it to. In this interpretation, the Shadow is a higher God, and it has cursed Castiel for helping humanity the same way Prometheus helped humanity. It uses similar linguistics!
///
EVIL CAS/SHADOW MEANING -> God's most trusted double agent
Cas is resurrected by Chuck because he's secretly an intractable agent of Chuck, God's most trusted, analogues to how Ruby was "the best of those sons of bitches." This would take on a Christian overtone, that Chuck and Jack are the same person. Evil interpretation where Cas having been an agent of Fate all along. With this shadow meaning, "Cas helped" from 15x20 becomes especially ominous. But there's also "it's not the bait, it's the fish, I think they're beginning to anticipate me" from 15x06 right after Dean accuses him of being "the something that always goes wrong." There's something eerie in the idea that Chuck and Jack are in fact the same person, and Castiel is loyal to Him above all. "This lie won't hurt them," from Gimme Shelter etc etc. This would make Dean, like Sally in "Last Call" the real symbolic fish. If hunting is recklessness, fishing is patience, and Cas/God/Jack were being patient and fishing Dean's soul all along, baiting him with Love. Cas as a honey trap is a frightening thought, honestly, and although I don't prefer this shadow interpretation, it IS scary if someone wanted to explore it or have Dean simply fear this possibility, you know? Dean has an inherent fear of large powers, like Godstiel, and Jack's power, and he's right to fear it. At the end of the story, Cas and Jack are the only main characters still alive, so there's a real possibility that it is Cas who won the long game, not Chuck.
edit - there’s also cas has a soul theory, that he cannot sleep in the empty the sand way jack becomes aware of heaven in byzantium

Happy 4th Anniversary for TW:OPT!
Tumblr media
(Two weeks late, but better than never.)
Can't believe it has been 4 years, eh? Can't believe I'm almost one year without posting any TW:OPT related since the final episode. I don't even think I ever post a Behind the Fic for chapter 163. Sorry about that.
I honestly don't know what am I supposed to make for this year. Honestly my biggest goal is to finish all of my wip, including ideas for TW:OPT Gaiden, before moving on to Book 2.
But sometimes I even wonder whether I want to write Book 2 or not.
Don't get me wrong; I still like Twisted-Wonderland. I still love my fic. But the spark is not there anymore. And I don't know why.
I mean, I barely interact with main content of TWST nowadays. Am I overwhelmed? Maybe. Am I having a burnt out? Perhaps. Or maybe I'm just getting old. It just doesn't feel the same, but I cannot pinpoint why it is different.
There were times when I thought: "what's the point? nobody will read this anyway" and wanting to delete everything to start a new or just disappear quietly. It's not like anyone gonna miss me, right?
Which is strange. Back when I wrote TW:OPT for the first time, I don't really care about the reaction. I was writing it for funzies. I know I didn't fit the target audience with the male oc-centric, so I never expected it to pick up. I was just going to write it until I stop and abandon it like many times.
But then you guys came, dearest reader. I never expected much, so it doesn't took me by surprise. I never expected so many people to like this little story. Even now I still sometimes go back and read your comments. Those were the moments when I felt like finally I did something right.
Meet new friends who I'll always treasure them in my heart and I lost a friend, which kinda makes me afraid in commenting others' WIP, but that's another story. I feel like I learn more about writing when planning for TW:OPT that I've ever before in school. It was a good times to find something to do, especially during quarantine, might I dare to say TW:OPT was the that bring me through quarantine. It came at the right place, at the right time.
But there are times, many even, when I looked at the neighbor's grass and see that it is greener. I thought I could handle myself, but jealously will come sooner or later. Insecurities is not a nice thing. It will eat you up until it left you crumbling to your knees. And the biggest thing that annoy me is that the fact that I care. I admit I don't have the best understanding with my surrounding and can be apathetic, so I shouldn't have feel jealous or anything. I'm the type of girl who can admit defeat and knows when others can do better things than me, so why can't I accept this? I've written a lot of fic and I never expect any reaction. So why am I bothered with attention when writing TW:OPT?
There's a saying: "Above the sky there is another sky". I know that. I know there are many writers better than me. Heck, my friends are better writer than me. Do I want to be the only writer? Absolutely not! If someone as pathetic like me can find joy in writing, I'm sure many will as well! I wasn't intended to gatekeep. So why am I feeling jealous like this?
If I have to explain this the best I can, it will be maybe like this: Writing is the only thing that I can enjoy and at least have a decent skill. Even if in real life I keep this a secret, at least I can take pride by myself. And when that one thing is taken from you, what is left? If TW:OPT is my one pride, what happen when it doesn't give you the same happiness anymore?
It's a thing that I noticed. After the middle of Scarabia Arc, I don't feel as happy as I used to when writing it. It became a chore. The thing where it supposed to be a stress-reliever, was instead became the cause of stress. I was plagued with the thoughts: I need to update. I have to update. When can I write? They've waited for too long. I can't stop now. I must finish this goddamn fic. It shouldn't have take three years to complete this damn fic. Why can't I update everyday like before? What wrong with me? Am I losing my touch? Why I don't get that many attraction anymore? Do they hate my work now? Am I not as good as I thought I am? Everyone is better than me. Why can't I be like them? Are my readers disappointed in me? Are they already moving on because I took too long? No one cares anymore. Always knew that I'm irrelevant. I'm just wasting my time trying to get something that's never mine.
But I'm still clinging onto TW:OPT. I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet. I still have Book 2/Last. I promised to myself that I will write it. I want to complete it. It doesn't matter if Twisted-Wonderland continue into Year 2 or 3 or 4. My goal is to complete Year 1.
I just...I don't want to disappoint you guys. I don't want to disappoint myself. I don't want this to be an abandon project. I just want to finally complete something that I started on my own will for once in my goddamn life.
What a hubris thought, huh? I'm sorry. I must've sounded like a selfish, attention-seeking, and ungrateful little bitch, aren't I? "Write for yourself" as they would say; I don't deserve to complain like a baby. I'll stop now.
I honesty don't know where is this rambling goes. I don't think I've ever talk like this before. Sorry. This might be a bad look on me, but it has been eating in me for the longest time. Does it feel good to let it out? Maybe. Or maybe I'm not able to feel anything anymore.
I just want to be happy in writing again. I want to be optimistic in my writing again. I don't want to be jealous of others. That one spark that I had back in early TW:OPT, I need it again. I want to try again. I want to write for TWST again. There are so many WIP that I want to write before I maybe disappear again. I know I will go back to write for Book 2. But not in this state. Not in this mental state where I think will care anymore.
I just want to be happy in my writing again.
I don't know... What do I do? I can try writing more. Will it help? It won't be another futile attempt? Or am I really hopeless and never have the chance since the very beginning. TW:OPT is my peak after all. It'll only go downhill from here.
...........................................................
Okay. I'll really stop here.
Dearest reader, whoever and wherever you are, I'm sorry for not giving you much. I perfectly understand if you want to leave. But I am eternally grateful for you guys who still stays. This four years has been an experience. But thank you for being there to experience it with me.
I'm going to stop whining now. Bye for now.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ real life genshin au
a/n: you've heard of the self-aware genshin au (sagau), right? well, get ready for the real-life genshin au - where in-game characters come to your world, but a whole lot more wholesome :) sorry if you're living with your family right now, you'll have a hard time explaining why another person is in your house... this can be read as platonic bc we need more of that shit.
gn!reader, poc!friendly :)
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
Xiao is a really helpful person, he's also ridiculously funny. Say it's raining outside and you need help taking your washing off of the line, he's already there helping you! The demons won't be able to get your washing now, [name]. I'll fend them off. EVIL CONQUERING! >:) He's saying that every second too. Oh, you need me to watch the store whilst your stew cooks? Don't worry, I'll prevent the demons from burning it. EVIL CONQUERING! UnU He's really sweet as well, he trusts you :) Do you need a hug? I'll prevent the demons from worsening your depression. EVIL CONQUERING- :D
Albedo is very good when it comes to homework if you need help. However, be careful not to leave it out, you'll end up with us all done with stars and doodles all over it... in pen. Here you go, your homework:) Oh, and I also did your English, French, Spanish and German homework for you too! The maths was so easy, how did you not get it? Did I make you self-conscious? I apologise, please forgive me :( I put stars all over your work! He's an actual sweetheart if you think about it, and acts just like his voice actor: Khoi Dao. Why're you trying to run from me? I just wanna get you to try this new drink I made >:( COME 'ERE BITCH-
Venti is an actual menace, but not as bad as you think. Whilst you're brushing your teeth, he's in the shower singing or something like that. He loves bubble baths so much - like me too bestie <3 Hey [name]? Could you pass me the shampoo? Thankyouiloveyousomuch~ Any alcohol you have, put it away. No drunk menaces are allowed in your house or are they??? Styling his hair is an absolute must. It has to be in his signature style or at least something to do with braids or plaits. He's quite ticklish too so whilst you were doing his hair, it turned into a tickle fight. Aww c'mon [name] I'm sorry :( please don't tickle me anyMORE SVAUVSWKBSHSV-
Ei in real life? Please. She's useless. I'm sorry but it's the truth. However, she is very cute when she wants stuff, and she has her puppet with her too so say bye-bye to Inazuma's duties shawty. I cannot stress how much of a savage duo you are the Shogun are. Like actually you both are boss bitches. Whilst Ei tries to get your attention in the shops so you guys can make a pit stop at the confectionary aisle, you and the Shogun are arm in arm deadass strutting and walking your shit. You don't think we could maybe try some sweets in the other aisle, [name]? You know I'm not from here- The Shogun looks her dead in the eye, and then back at you. Ei is wondering what the fuck just happened whilst the Shogun is picking out sunglasses for you both because you're just that cool >:) You're an admirable person with good intent and high ambitions [name]. I've come to realise that my mistress only thinks about eternity, sweets and her friend Yae Miko. Oh well, fuck her. I'll take you back to Inazuma instead :) SO SHADY GODDAMN RAIDEN
Yae Miko is gobbling up this new environment to make a novel on it back home. She's actually not that intimidating if you think about it, just a little bit of a tease. She's a known critic, so you pull out all the worst Wattpad stories you can find and roast the living shit out of female Y/N because of the underrepresentation, weird-ass harem she has, and obviously because the stuff the writer makes her do is unrealistic and frankly quite embarrassing. Then you guys go through all the good stuff on Tumblr, AO3, Quotev and Wattpad where you have plenty, yet not enough, male!reader/gn!reader fics with good plots and a good sense of humour. What kind of atrocity is this? Are you seeing this [name]? The punctuation's all wrong too! For eternity's sake, not only are these writers amateur but they are also unrealistic and don't realise that there are different types of people out there with different genders, races and sexualities. Get it out of my sight. >:( I'm sorry you had to endure my rant there, [name]. Yes ma'am.
Xinyan is best girl. Period. Do you see her pretty curls? Yeah. If you're a person of colour and can relate to the struggles of such hair textures then you both can struggle together. She's so self-conscious about her style that it's criminal so please reassure her. This one's for the people of colour. Okay, so you get the rice and I'll make the spicy chicken and ribs; then we'll start on the vegetables :D She's an amazing cook and if you teach her some of your cultural delicacies??? MAKE ME YOUR TASTE TESTER I BEG YOU BRUH. On that note, she's a homegirl. Nothing like watching some ethnic drama alongside a bowl of [insert cultural dish]. What is that boy doing? Why you going over there, boy? Don't you know she's cheating on you AND NOW you've caught her. Damn-
Eula is a baby. Yes, she is. Won't leave your side ever and is ready to put up a fight. Even though her language isn't the most up to date, we can fix that! You've managed to teach her some phrases from social media that even she makes sound... aggressive. Excuse me, I would not like my hair cut. If anyone is going to cut my hair it is going to be [name]. What do you mean you have to? Retract that statement or I will shank you up my guy. You're probably going to have to explain to whoever you guys are with that Eula just isn't normal. She's unique okay???? Hmph, after that, I would just like to go home with you now [name]. There we will not be bothered by anyone but your parents or siblings, which have earned my respect. That hairdresser... Vengeance will be mine- STFU.
Oh little Dainsleif, so pure! He follows you everywhere and holds your hand when crossing the street - it's adorable!! He's so afraid of losing you that the poor guy will hug you at every given opportunity and gives you the softest smiles when you hug him back!!! I'm not sure I have much cheek to squish, but it feels nice. Thank you :) Do you see this man??? I swear, all you guys do is cuddle and walk everywhere hand in hand. Ugh so cute!!! When you both aren't behaving like a couple, Dainsleif just likes to watch over you. Whenever you sleep, he will sit beside your bed to make sure you don't accidentally fall off, he'll put your arm or leg back on the bed so you don't get pins and needles in the morning and tucks you in at night. Also, he is whipped for you and when he's sure you are in a deep sleep, he will brush hair out of your face or put your bonnet/durag back on for you. A little kiss on the forehead, nose and both cheeks to grant you sweet dreams. Good night [name], have sweet dreams for me, okay? *kiss*. ( ˘ ³˘)♥
Childe is another menace that likes to learn about the different kinds of weapons you have in your world, ranging from guns to katanas. He's canonically a family man, so if you live with family, he's on a mission to fit in and get their approval >:) Please, call me Childe! Oh, that looks like a cool toy, what is it? Show me how to use it and then we can play together :D! My man likes to dance too. As soon as he hears your music, he'll be intrigued by its sound and ask so many questions in one go. Chill. Drink water. Educate him on all the TikTok dances and sounds you know and soon you'll have a masterpiece in front of you. I mean, who wants a handsome, long-limbed, skinny ginger man who can't dance??? We really do need these great things in Schnezhaya - they're brilliant. [name], watch me do a backflip!

Nancy Drew 1x14 "The Sign of the Uninvited Guest"
My favorite Season 1 episode. This was THE turning point for #Nace. There is no doubt in my mind the writers were planting a seed here. It was THAT intentional.
So…Nancy figures out that Tiffany must have gone to Lucy’s Mom (OHHHH THAT”S WHO THE “OTHER WOMAN THAT GAVE HER THE KEY TO NANCY'S SECRET WAS- Sorry guys I'm slow sometimes).
Patrice (Lucy’s Mom) shows up at The Claw which is confusing to both Bess and Nancy. Apparently Patrice used to work at The Claw so she knew where the spare key was. Nick gets ahold of Josh, whom apparently had been trying to take her to a new institution when she escaped.
Cue Laura, Ace’s girlfriend (?I guess?). I had kind of forgotten about her. Guess she’s out of her coma too? Was she in a coma? She’s back with a new look on life. She has apparently been out of town (so I guess her and Ace aren’t all that serious). She is back to settle Tiffany’s affairs. Since she has now been cleared as suspect she gets all the inheritance.
With which, she has bought two First Class tickets to Paris with and wants Ace to go with her. Permanently.
“There’s nothing keeping you in this town. You were made for Paris. Ex-pat. Soulful thinker. Come on, you actually speak French”. (See Ace is not just the burnout the pilot wanted us to think). Laura doesn’t seem too weighed down with finding Tiffany’s killers anymore. She seems confident it’s the Hudsons and that the police will eventually find out. “You lost me once. Do you really want to lose me again?”
Nick goes to get Josh who is stranded at a gas station. Josh tells Nick he’s gonna have to close the shop so he can be closer to his Mom. (Does Nick have enough money left to buy out the shop in addition to the Claw?). Nick is left babysitting Patrice while Josh goes on one last service call.
Nancy has been “Beautiful Minding” in the office. I gotta admit. Her rolling out the board while the others are lined up and Ace is eating popcorn is pretty fun. Lucy wrecks the board when Nancy says “Lucy’s death was linked to Tiffany’s death”
“Ace, Laura, let’s go”!. Ace immediately gets up- no hesitation. Also still eating his popcorn. Nancy needs a hacker and Laura to help her retrace Tiffany’s last steps.
“You know what is so romantic. Solving a homicide together. With me.” This episode is so light and comic compared to the darkness of the last few.
Tumblr media
“I’m not going to the library”
“What? Why?”
“I have enemies there”
Tumblr media
The library scene is…so wonderful.
Tumblr media
The look on Ace’s face when he sees Dominique. I really hope we get this backstory.
Tumblr media
I LOVE how much Nancy is loving Ace in the library.
The “I think I love you. I think I love you too” line has been in so many fan vids. It’s obviously a bit more subtle in the show but…only SLIGHTLY. It’s undeniable that there is suddenly a tension there. And the timing is pretty great.
Tumblr media
This is the episode where I think Nancy first sees this different side of Ace. She gets to know the “wily teenager” who’s enemies are literally librarians. (HE IS A PURE SOUL). The romantic who speaks three languages including French. The guy who is smart enough to teach HIMSELF how to hack.
I think the show is definitely planting the seed here.
The emails they find at the library cast a lot of suspicion on Ryan. What started as love letters ended with “You’re a whore. I hope you die”. Nancy now thinks that Tiffany read those emails, discovered Ryan killed Lucy, and that Ryan then killed Tiffany to protect himself.
They lure Ryan to The Claw by making him think that Laura is willing to give up the money. They decide to re-enact the night of Tiffany's death, hoping Ryan will give himself away. They got Karen to show up as well. The scene is very well done. Part of me wonders....maybe they should have done this before? Ace suddenly remembers that he used Ryan’s returned salad for Tiffany’s entre. They all realize that Ryan was the original target for the poison.
Bess, Ace, and George are feeling guilty for their role in getting the poison to Tiffany. Nick rightly points out that the the only one to blame is the killer and that that’s where their energy should be focused on…finding the killer.
Nancy shows Ryan the video with Lucy’s ghost the night of Tiffany’s murder. Lucy leads Nancy to the window outside of Ryan’s booth, showing her where the killer was hiding and could have heard the food orders. She accuses Ryan of killing Tiffany and figures the poisoner was trying to kill Ryan for revenge. This would explain Lucy haunting Ryan.
Ryan says he didn’t kill her. He loved her. Nancy reads him the email. Ryan claims he never wrote that. Ryan sees Lucy and drives away. I think Nancy is genuinely confused.
“You can do a thing half-assed, or you can commit to it all the way”- Ryan tells Ace he’s either all in for Paris and that he shouldn’t waste Laura’s time if he’s not.
Ace’s hacking skills enable them to find the IP address that Lucy used to email Ryan and it leads Nancy to the garage. Josh comes in on Nancy. Nancy realizes Josh knew about the affair between Lucy and Ryan and would have all the reason in the world to avenge Lucy. Nancy manages to escape Josh’s attack when he is..electrocuted to death?
Ace tells Laura he’s not going to Paris. He doesn’t want to leave Horseshoe Bay. He says he believes he has a purpose and that he believes in being true to himself even at the risk of being misunderstood. (WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?).
Nancy wonders where Josh could have gotten the poison since it was such a rare poison that took specific skills to make. As she starts to wonder if someone else could be involved, the police find out that Josh’s body is gone. SUS.
Nick and George
Bess (is she the friend group shipper?) tells George that she should stop hiding what she’s feeling for Nick. He tells her he’s not with Nancy anymore and she shouldn't feel guilty. It's a little weird to me, to bless this relationship without at least talking to Nancy about it but…I am reminded that this is a weird friend group in that…they don’t always consider themselves friends...at least yet? In Nancy’s Whisper Box, she doesn’t even think the others like her (is that her own insecurities or is it true that it just took time for the group to get close)?
Nancy and Ace
Ep 13 I said was the goodbye to Drewson episode and this episode is the goodbye to Laura and Ace episode.
I already talked about this quite a bit above so I don't want to be too repetitive here but I will just stress that THIS episode was a turning point for them. I think this is where Nancy and Ace first become "aware" of each other. Especially Nancy is seeing a new side of Ace and...she likes what she sees.
Tumblr media

Comedic Ace I have missed you.

Thoughts and Reaction to ROCKETEAR!
It's a long post, but when are these ever really short? xD Seeing Carapace first made me so excited. I've been sad we haven't had much of him in the show. And then I saw that it seemed like Ladynoir was doing pretty good as they only had Carapace helping them this time. More S2 & S3 like. So I was like cool, cool, this is great. But what the heck scientist WHY ARE YOU BRINGING TYRANNOSAURUS REX'S BACK! Obviously she's going to be something big later on, she's too nicely animated not to be back. Not to mention Bob Roth's plans. Anyone else both intrigued but also scared at what that could do later? Big upcoming plot point, I think.
Tumblr media
I screamed awwww because this is everything. I've wanted a LB/Carapace and Marinette/Nino friendship bond in this show since season 1. This scene made me incredibly happy! I'm a huge Nino fan, for those that don't know, so you can imagine how much I love this episode. Even though sad Nino.
"Alya, everyone has to believe that you will never use the Miraculous again!" End of episode: So anyway... So what I'm seeing here is, Alya's not fond of the idea of being just a spy, not being in on the action. Even though it's Ladybug's plan. Chat Noir isn't fond of what's going on right now either, where he thinks what's going on is all Ladybug's plans. Alya makes the decision to not do what Ladybug wants and tells Nino she's still Rena Rouge. So what's Chat Noir going to do to go against her? Because that's coming up on the horizon. Despite everything being easier for Marinette since everything's not just on her shoulders now, she's still been unable to play video games with her dad, and we know how much she loves doing that. :c That's really sad she doesn't even have time for her family anymore. DJWifi over here being all adorable. "You don't love me anymore!" Me: *Chat Blanc flashbacks* Alya suggests her new content could be Chat Noir edits and Marinette's like YES DO THOSE. Then those edits helped push Nino into thinking she was into Chat. Big oops. Not gonna lie, the rewind freaked me out for a moment. Last time I saw that was Chat Blanc so I thought something big was up. But nope, it's just like that scene in Puppeteer 2. Ugh poor Nino! He knows something's bothering Alya, but she won't say what it is and her behavior's too off from how she normally is. Poor guy. x.x Grumpy Nino that Carapace doesn't get attention and then they wrote his girlfriend with Chat Noir. I remember when Alya was grumpy for a bit about Rena Rouge not getting a party to celebrate her. Movie Ladybug telling Movie Chat Noir that he's better with Movie Rena Rouge. Is this a reference to the episode in Avatar, The Ember Island Players? Getting strong vibes when Play Aang and Play Katara were like, we're just friends nothing more and it's great! Play Katara was extremely into Play Zuko. I can see why Ladybug dismissed the movie (or was it the previous one since it's been awhile? Maybe?) because Rena Rouge and Chat Noir???? The writers (of the movie) just wanted to be different because everyone can see Ladynoir, unless they're blind. Alya and Nino are Andre's favorite couple. YES THANK YOU. I mean they're not my favorite because Love Square. BUT they're my second favorite next to them. Those kids are super adorable but definitely that kid playing Chat wasn't doing Nino any favors. First picture Alya shows. Chat with a heart tail. Yeah that's not doing her any favors lol. Nino: UGH CHAT NOIR'S COMING IN BETWEEN ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND. I KNOW, I'LL CALL MY BEST FRIEND TO VENT TO ABOUT IT. Best Friend Chat Noir: Best Friend Chat Noir: Welp maybe I should see what's up. Maybe I went a little to hard on the cat charm and she's fallen in love with me. Me: Oh oof here we go. Also can I ask, if anyone knows, who animated this episode? The fluidity is great and it looks really pretty. But it doesn't quite look like SAMG's work either. Whoever did it, I love it. S2 Chat Noir: You're not replacing me with a turtle, are you? :c S4 Nino: Who would want a reckless turtle as a partner? BOYS STOP. But yeah this whole scene had me laughing so hard XD Very dramatic and I love it. Nino's hilarious even when he's worried and sad! I would've absolutely loved to have heard this in English with the old English voice of Nino, but the new one worries me on whether or not he'll do a good job sounding like Nino and less high-pitched and whiny. :/ New York Nino was great but S4 Nino....x.x THE TRANSITION BETWEEN HIS INNER MONOLOGUE AND SPEAKING REGULARLY AGAIN 😂😂😂😂 Brilliant! It doesn't really feel like Miraculous Ladybug this episode, and I love it. Not that I don't love the show as usual but wow this is great. Okay, I want to point out that Chat Noir
probably was more worried about it than he would've been otherwise because of what happened with Marinette in Weredad. It probably made him more cautious about this sort of thing.
Tumblr media
LOL Chat's sulking because Alya's laughing at the idea of being interested in him. 😂😂 I know that's a blow to one's ego and all, and he's dealt with this kind of thing a lot so I do feel bad for him, but that is his best friend's girlfriend and he definitely doesn't want her to like him. Alya: With him it's not just ❤️it's *makes massive hand gesture indicating she loves him deeply* SO SO SO CUTE OKAY ALL THIS DJWIFI 😭 Alya: And I don't even know your secret identity! I would never fall in love with someone I don't know. Chat Noir, literally fell in love with Ladybug, whose identity he doesn't know. Well Alya, I wonder if you saying that matters for later somehow.... o.O Nino running away crying is honestly one of the things that hurts me most in the entire show. Ugh. Adrien over here being all, I'm having a good day. I'm happy and smiling and it's great. And then it wasn't. Adrien, if Nino let him and didn't interrupt, would've told him about how Alya really doesn't love Chat Noir, and that would've seriously led up to his identity being exposed since Nino was watching and filmed them. o.o Did you notice how he was going to tell him about it? S4, the basement is where it's at. Adrien: Uhh, when did you arrange all this? Nino: *pounds fist on desk* I ASK THE QUESTIONS! 😂 So like. Why is Nino interrogating Adrien when he's after Chat Noir? He doesn't know they're the same person. XD He's looking at him like Adrien has info he's keeping or something omg.
Tumblr media
Also again this animation is so nice. Adrien, feeling uncomfortable and so turns the music off. Nino, wanting his dramatic music on while he interrogates Adrien, turns it back on. Adrien, feeling even more irritated and uncomfortable, wants the music OFF and turns it off. Nino, turns the music back on. This may be a reference to something, I don't know, but lolol it's so funny. This episode is both super hilarious and super angsty! Honestly they've done such a good job in my opinion. Nino: I'm talking about something that I shouldn't tell you! ...but I'm going to tell you anyway! Alya's Rena Rouge and I'm Carapace! Okay but the way Adrien went from shock to utter anger, knocked his chair back and grabbed Nino's shoulders like "Tell me the truth. You two know about each other?" Aw man, my poor sunshine boy. A lot of the stuff bothering Adrien is all circumstantial, none of it is to purposefully keep him in the dark. And yet from his perspective, that's how it looks. "I thought secret identities must be protected at all times! If that was the truth, you would never tell me this!" Alright so three things. If he's referring to him saying that Nino and Alya know about each other, that was situational and important info for him to know now that this is out. It wasn't important to know before this. The time it happened was dire and was really no time to get around it. If he's talking about Nino telling him the secrets, well yeah that's not supposed to happen and Nino broke that trust. But also, I get the feeling pretty strongly at this point Adrien's going to be breaking some rules too and one of which is he's going to tell Nino who he is. Adrien's being too emotional in this scene to not be involved in it all, I'm wondering if that's going to be questioned later by Nino. He's acting like he knows too much to be a random viewer of the heroes like the rest of Paris. Also Adrien's best friend just totally dissed Chat Noir and went off about how he throws himself at Ladybug whenever he sees her with roses and love confessions. 😂😂😂 This is just too funny! "But he's always rejected because Ladybug finds him annoying! And she's completely right!" Omg Nino, that's not the reason anymore, shush! "And then Rena Rouge appears and he goes *tickles under Adrien's chin* hey pretty lady! You look elegant and you have great perfume." OMG does Chat Noir actually say and do stuff like that to Rena Rouge or is he just exaggerating here XD "If I could I would shut his mouth forever!" Yeah Nino, say what you really think about your best friend in the entire world. Yikes poor Adrien though. I never imagined he'd hear all these bad things about himself from his best friend directly like that. :/ That's a major misunderstanding of him. Which kind of pushes me more towards the "he's going to tell Nino" theory. Sad Adrien transformation DDDX Alya: *explained everything about why Chat Noir went over to her house in the middle of the night* Marinette *facepalm* Ugh that Chat Noir... Well at least there will be no misunderstandings there! xD "Chat Noir, you stole Alya from me! I will steal your life from you." Good lord man calm down. You can't just kill a man! Fanon: Chat Noir gets attacked by a guy over Marinette. Canon: Chat Noir gets attacked by a guy over Alya. Time to go back to the basement! lol Nino's music's still playing xD And the video is left with it paused on Chat Noir hugging Alya. Marinette looked a bit sad, but it was probably more about the situation being a mess rather than being sad he'd hug her. Meanwhile, Chat Noir's fighting Nino and would rather get beaten up by him than fight. x.x "I can't believe that I doubted you." "I can't believe I chose to do anything but be with you!" She wiped away akumatized Nino's tear just like how Ladybug wiped away akumatized Chat Noir's. ALL THE PARALLELS 😭😭😭 But that hug is so sweet!! Nino broke off the akumatization just like Alya did :o Dang, I wonder if that means something later too. "Love and secrets do not go well together, Ladybug. And I'm sure you have a lot of
them!" Secrets = from Chat Noir. Love = for Chat Noir. Yeah even Shadow Moth knows at this point. xP Thanks for that foreshadowing. Nino's charm is my favorite charm so far! It's my favorite shade of blue. Chat Noir: Everybody has doubts sometimes...even me." Ladybug: Is everything okay, Chat Noir? Chat: Oh yes...pound it!
Tumblr media
So um. The placemet of Adrien's poster in between Chat Noir, Ladybug, and just with this entire situation feels very strange. Very intentional. But no clue exactly what that could mean..... Nino and Alya are happy over there watching those two, like they're waiting for them to figure things out or something. But really, Adrien should've talked to Ladybug when he could still do so calmly and be reasonable. I doubt that's going to be the case later on. And honestly Ladybug doesn't even know what's going on. Every episode we've seen really either has them working together or she's unable to be Ladybug when he's unable to be Chat Noir most of the time. I've said it before but these two really need to communicate. Nino and Alya are like a less adorably romantic version of what they'd be. "But they're a couple and they know their secret identities, so why does that rule exist for us but they can know?" Very simple. Because they were temporary holders and the Miraculous they had, Hawk Moth hasn't made it his life's mission to obtain, unlike them, who are permanent holders and Hawk Moth's been after them fiercely to make a Wish that could destroy everything. But. The fact he's asking this, and Marinette's Chat Blanc nightmare, really points in the direction that he's going to eventually find out that while she's thought about telling him all along, Chat Blanc's kept her from doing so.
Tumblr media
Okay, so while it looks like he's staring up at the moon, if you notice, it really is just one of the pink bubbles.
Tumblr media
Now, they could be making it seem like it's the moon though to give it a double meaning. But poor Kitty, he's feeling so awful right now over in that dark corner Dx Nino felt bad for only two episodes? and it got resolved, so hopefully this all won't last too much longer for him! Marinette had a few shaky episodes so hopefully he'll have a few before it gets resolved. But somehow I think that may be wishful thinking. This episode was so amazing, honestly. Wonderful writing, made me laugh a lot, aw a lot, and hurt a lot. It focused on the core 4 characters which I've wanted more of for a long time. The animation was beautiful. And it just felt so different in such a good way. Chat Noir's having a hard time right now, and I know there's a lot of anger and hate about it going around. But please, think of this as him hitting a rough spot in the road to a much better and brighter future. He's going to end up okay, he'll understand it all someday. And that day's honestly not that far for him if you think about it.

So I've been thinking, maybe I should write. I had this dream of an older Giorno for some reason and thought, hey I could make this a reader's insert type of story! But I'm no writer, so I hope this isn't too bad.
Tumblr media
Title: His Best Friend
Premise: It's almost 10 years after Giorno became Don and for some reason, his best friend from way back keeps popping in his mind.
Tumblr media
His emerald eyes searched about the room, examining the furniture that has been here for almost 10 years now. Having been a Don for the same amount of time, he decided to continue his education in his mansion. Never did he come back to school. Cleaning up after Diavolo's mess is just a mountain of work to ever set aside.
But once in a while, he would escape; In the dormitories of his previous school, was his quaint room. It was a place of solace where he imagined being where he is now, a place of quiet where he could be vulnerable, a place he was often with you. He never got the guts to give the room away, so he bought it instead, keeping the locks the same as it always have been. Because he knew you had the key.
And he wondered why he missed your company so. Thoughts of you never came across his mind when he was younger nor when he's at work. It was always when he visited this place or when he's more tired than usual. There was always something about you that felt relaxing.
Giorno sat himself down on the floor, leaning on his bed frame. You always did this with him back then and let him rest his head on your sholder when he's stressed out. He loved listening to your talks of goals and dreams. And rarely, you even got him to talk about his. Then you'd quietly listen with no judgement. He watched as your proud and hopeful eyes brighten.
"You'll get there one day because you're Giorno Giovanna." You'd say, unknowing how those words impacted him greatly, how it encouraged him so. And then you'd lean your head on his as you both drift to an afternoon nap.
Giorno stood up. He couldn't resist the allure of the soft bed no longer, so he sat himself on it, bouncing slightly at contact. His palm carressed the linen bed cover and paused.
He then untied his golden braided locks that flowed in a happy mess down his back. This long maine was shorter still when you were around. And sometimes you'd ask his permission to braid it. He'd always say he'd think about it just to tease you. But in truth, he wanted you to touch his hair. You were always allowed, yet you always asked. But he never seeked your touch despite his craving for it. He'd always wait for you to ask first.
Crave. He craved you? Has he been feeling that way all this time? Is it alright to crave a friend? Perhaps. He thought. But what does he crave for in specific? He's never put an effort to finding you, never gave in to this 'craving'. Your mind was always a traveler. It was filled with so much stories about the world to explore out there, from picture books and magazines you've read and seen; How beautiful it must be to visit the great pyramids in Egypt, to see the cherry blossoms bloom in Japan, how eerie and lovely the Taj Mahal might be, or how crystalline the Philippine virgin beaches could be. There's a world in your eyes that he could see, a bright one compared to the gloom of reality. Yet you had no desire to travel on foot. You've always travelled by pen, and you were just full of passion when your thoughts bled on paper.
Where are you now?
Giorno plopped himself onto the bed, scattering his golden locks behind him like crooked rays of light. A growing pain sat on his chest, encouraging a deep sigh of frustration out of his mouth. He closed his eyes, trying to pin the feeling down. But no matter how much he wrestled, there was nothing, no answer, just the image of your face.
The clicks on the door snapped him back from the pool of his thoughts. That couldn't be Mista. The guy always knocks. Those clicks were the sound of unlocking the door, and he didn't have any key.
Giorno sat himself down, his calm demeanor contrasting the boiling pot of assumptions in his mind; Does his opposition know about this place? How did they know he came here? He made sure to keep his visits here random enough not to call attention. Whoever this was, if they're aggressors, they're making the biggest mistake of their lives by opening that door.
He sat on the bed, unsheathing Golden Experience, ready for anything. His emerald eyes focused on the opening door as it slowly revealed the person on the other side.
Being a Don for years now, hardly anything surprised him anymore. But the sight of you standing on that doorway was almost surreal to him! Never did he expect that he'd see you in the flesh right here right now. For a second there, he even thought his stand somehow has a hand with it, but no. This couldn't be a dream. Like a gush of wind rudely hitting his face, it all started to make sense to Giorno: the moemories of you, the craving, the growing pain.
"La mia amore." He let slip the words that should've been said long ago. How stupid can he be for only seeing it now?!
"Giorno!" You called him, your visage mirroring his surprised one.
Seeing tears starting to flow down your cheeks, he let his heart lead the way; Without another word, he expeditiously made his way to wrap his arms tightly around you, making up for those years that he was a fool for not seeing through the veil of his own emotions. And you generously return the gesture.
Ah, this is it. This is the feeling. He thought.
"I missed you." You say, pressing your cheek on his chest, (which was stil very much exposed despite this winter, you noted). "Let me see." You pull away from his embrace which he thought was a pity.
Examining Giorno from head to toe, you see that he has significantly have you beat in height now. He wore a black leather coat, furred round the neck for more heat. Then you finally gaze at his emerald eyes, the body might have changed greatly, but you knew those eyes were still the ones you knew, only now they looked sharper as if it had seen things it didn't like. And you understand that Giorno Giovanna has achieved his dream.
You cupped his cheek as you searched his eyes. He immediately leans to your touch. There was an enigmatic glow dancing about those green orbs you can't quite comprehend at the moment.
"Welcome back." You say, flashing him a thoughtful smile.
Giorno's heart felt full as he pulled you in his arms one more time, a kiddish spark dancing in his eyes. "I missed you too, amore." He said, pressing a lingering kiss against your cheek.
And you had to pull away slightly, surprised by his sudden intimacy. "A-amore?" You stuttered, studying his eyes. If only the answers were there. Giorno has always been hard to read, but by observation, you learned that he conveyed his emotions through subtle mannerisms and reactions. But this forwardness was vastly different from his usual quiet demeanor!
Giorno enjoyed your coy reaction too much to let go of you now. So he pressed his forehead onto yours. He felt you tensing at his sudden closeness while you made fists of your hands on his chest, crumpling his neat clothes. But he paid no mind. In fact you're reaction only encouraged him. "And why would I call the love of my life anything else?" He teased. "Have you been coming here all the time, amore? Were you waiting for me?"
He waited for a response from you, a banter perhaps. But there was a long pause which made him worry. Maybe he was being too forward? You have been away from each other a long time. And the last you've seen each other, you were just friends. Friends. He almost hated the word at the moment. That was not how he wanted your relationship to be, not anymore.
"Yes." You say, pulling him out of his thoughts. "I go here from time to time…hoping…you would…come home." You faded out, averting your eyes from him. The last thing you thought of doing today was to reveal your pining for your best friend, but apparently here you are doing just that.
Giorno heaved a sigh, resting his forehead on your shoulder. "Oh amore, we've only met again." He said, interlacing his hand with yours. "I really want to keep things wholesome. But your reactions are making it difficult."
You were speechless at how shockingly honest he was being. But the happiness you felt from his words were sublime! The puzzle that is Giorno Giovanna is communicating his emotions with you clearly. And that's enough for you for now.
Giorno leaning on you gave you the perfect view of his unbraided locks just sitting on his back in a happy flowy mess. And you couldn't help but ask;
"May I brush your hair, Giorno?"
He chuckles as he always does. "You may." He answered.
Your free hand was quick to find its way to his golden locks, brushing the mess gently. You always loved his maine. The relaxation it provided you while you braided or brushed it was nostalgic. "Your hair has grown, il mio amore." You say.
He giggles at your comment, pulling your hips closer. "Do you like it?"
"I love it." You say. To you, his maine has always been like the man himself: intense like its sudden shifts from a jet black to a golden blonde, and evergrowing, the longer it got, the more magnificent it became.
A relaxing quiet enveloped between you two. You continued to brush his locks while he leaned on you, closing his eyes. Everything just felt peaceful for once especially for Giorno.
"I want to take you home." He broke the silnce, squeezing your hand.
"That's a very forward offer, Giorno, but I have to decline. I'm still trying to get my book published, you know." You say.
Silence.
"Do you still live by that bakery?" Giorno inquired.
"Visit me there when you have time?"
"It's a promise."

No new art really, if you've seen my original post on the MHA amino then you know where this is fucking going. Right down to Angstville because for some reason I'm obsessed with hurting my favorite Goth Jesus. You'd think I'd talk about my "Stain's Redemption" AU first since I've mentioned it but hahahaha
Y o u w e r e w r o n g ;´)
I straight up just copied and pasted my original post because I'm lazy but I REALLY wanted to share this with Tumblr lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warning for (potential) manga spoilersss
Alrighty sinners, Let's get to the post itself then. Shall we?
·············
So let me just address something real quick about how I feel about the latest chapters of the MHA manga:
Seeing Aizawa cry has to be the most heart breaking thing I've seen in MHA (outside of the whole deal with Eri, sweet baby child ;-;)
And I completely FLIPPED when it was revealed that Shirakumo was BASICALLY turned into Kurogiri and just I'M CRYING--Cloud Angel Baby NOOOOOO!!!
They all deserved better than this T-T
Anywho enough about my grieving over fictional characters, let's talk about my AU, inspired by these recent chapters. Note that I'm a terrible writer. I guess this also includes a snippet of what I plan to write for this AU since it transitions from explanation to literature at some point just because I was kinda bored. Imma let you know right now that I'm a shit writer so uuuuh bear with me.
---------
Tumblr media
The Reticent AU takes place in an Alternate Universe where Shirakumo is ALIVE and separate from Kurogiri. Instead of Loud Cloud being turned into a Nomu, Eraserhead is turned into one. His appearance for the most part remains the same, minus the scars all over his body, including around the neck, from experimentation.
He barely speaks due to pain he feels when he does talk and has no recollection of his life before being a Nomu, not even his own name. He manages to escape the League of Villains at some point and "befriends" the Hero Killer: Stain, or well more like the other way around (only because I find Stain befriending an emotionless mute to be funny). He finds Stain's views of false hero-hood and admiration for All Might quite contradictory yet amusing and lets him live during their first encounter.
It is rather hard to say whether he is a villain or a vigilante. He'll kill only if necessary but his intentions and motivations are unknown. He despises All Might as the Symbol of Peace. It gives false hope to the people as well as a false sense of security. He found it completely revolting. Aizawa did believe in good people, but All Might isn't one of them in his books. Pretty much considered one only because he's hanging around with Stain.
He never gave himself a name, nor did he care all that much for it, it was Stain who dubbed him with the alias "Reticent", meaning not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily. He was never one for being open for as long as he could remember.
It's rather fitting, so Reticent keeps the given name.
·············
* I didn't know Shirakumo was tan, not white before I made the art (forgive me)
Tumblr media
Oboro Shirakumo A.K.A Loud Cloud is currently the homeroom teacher of our beloved Class 1-A and best friend of our resident screaming banana, Present Mic. They have given up on their dream to start an agency due to the loss of their closest friend from high school. Fifteen years ago when they were still students at UA, Shota Aizawa had gone missing and authorities concluded that he was dead. It was such a heartbreak to Shirakumo and Yamada, that hurt never fully healed.
Shirakumo is still a friendly and nurturing spirit at heart, but not as open with his feelings anymore. He's more reserved with his thoughts and feelings. He's a reticent person.
He takes an instant liking to Ejirou Kirishima and Hitoshi Shinso. Kirishima's friendship with the explosive Katsuki Bakugou reminds him of his friendship with Shota. Their personalities seemed so different, yet their bond had remained solid and strong. As for Shinso, the purple haired teen reminded him of his old friend. He could see the growing potential in these two and takes them both under his wing. The three of them train together outside of school and the Kirishima and Shinso form a close friendship with each other along with their sensei. Both children are like sons to Shirakumo, he thinks that Shota would like them too if he were still here.
·············
So... Izuku Midoriya, the "villain magnet" of class 1-A, ended up finding himself standing face-to-face with the Hero Killer: Stain and... his partner? The news never reported anything on him having a partner. How strange. Either Stain's partner is a very recent addition or this guy was really good at covering his own tracks.
"Stain, leave them be. They are just mere children. Killing them would serve no purpose to your cause. I wouldn't waste your time with Native either. "
Midoriya grimaced at the sore and raspy voice. It sounded painful, but he could hear the underlying threat. The Hero Killer sighed and backed off from Iida's paralyzed body.
The two villains left before Todoroki had arrived.
Tumblr media
"I think that's the first time I've ever seen you smile."
Agakuro sat down next to Reticent, who was currently petting a stray cat, and offered him some fruit. The smaller man hummed quietly and took a few slices of apple. Both men sat quietly with the soft purring of the stray.
"I've been meaning to ask, what is your quirk exactly? You can erase quirks, but you can also manipulate basic elements and the blood in people's bodies."
Reticent signed, 'I have more than one.'
"More than one quirk?" Stain cocked an eyebrow.
Reticent nodded and quietly spoke, "Nomu."
"I've heard about their appearances here in Hosu. They are these large looking creatures with their brains exposed. You sure as hell don't look like one of 'em." Agakuro mused as he chewed on some cantaloupe. His friend was making his signals again.
I was suppose to be a more perfected Nomu. All for One took care of my progress himself.'
"Is that why you have so many..."
'Yes.'
·············
"Principal Nezu?" Shirakumo and Yamada stood in the white creature's office. Both men wondering why they were called to see him.
"Ah Loud Cloud and Present Mic! I apologize for pulling you out of your classes, but it seems you both are being called to assist Gran Torino with something he found." Nezu explained. The two men in the room looked at each other confused.
"What does he need us for?"
"Well it seems that they have another one of those Nomus in custody. I think you may remember the name Shota Aizawa?"
·············
Shirakumo was BEYOND annoyed about the situation. It must be a mistake. Their old friend was not some gruesome quirk experiment accompanying the Hero Killer. Shota Aizawa wanted to be a hero, despite feeling that he was inadequate for such due to the nature of his quirk. It has to be a mistake.
"How much longer-"
"Calm down will you! I'm frustrated about this too. There's no way it could be him, but... who knows."
They arrived at the police station withing a few minutes and walk inside. They see Gran Torino standing there waiting for them. They follow him to where Tsukauchi is finishing up with questioning the person inside. Looking through the window, Shirakumo and Yamada's eyes widen with disbelief. The other person looked just like...
Tumblr media
"Ah Present Mic, Loud Cloud. Thank you for arriving on such short notice. I know you are both very busy men."
The two Pro-Heros turn to the detective as he stepped out of the interrogation room. Present Mic appeared alarmed and Shirakumo just looked... mad.
"Well it appears that he doesn't remember anything before being experimented on. We have a case of amnesia on our hands."
Shirakumo practically growled,"Experimented on? What the hell are you going on about detective!?" Why was Tsukauchi being so damn vague?
"That man in there is indeed Shota Aizawa. His base quirk of Erasure is still there and DNA results confirm this. From what I'm gathering, fifteen years ago he was kidnapped and had been subjected to illegal drug testing as well as having multiple quirks forced into his body. He's a more sophisticated Nomu it seems."
"More 'sophisticated'? What stopped him from having brains popping out of his skull like all the others we've seen?" The voice hero questioned. Something wasn't adding up here.
"All for One..."
The other three men became tense.
"Isn't... Isn't that the villain All Might fought at Kamino Ward?"
"According to him, it seems that All for One was the one who did this to him personally, there was extra care in your friend's 'recreation'. As to what his added quirks are, we're not sure yet of what they are or even of how many."
Gran Torino turned to the younger men,"We were hoping that you two would talk to him. Maybe to help trigger any memories from before his disappearance."
"So what? You think the 'power of friendship' is going to magically bring back his memories?" Shirakumo scoffed at how ridiculous that would actually be.
"No, but miracles do happen. I've seen many things during my time. They are rare, but they happen."
"Shirakumo," Present Mic started, "if there is even a slim possibility of getting Sho's memories back, shouldn't we at least try? For him?"
Shirakumo sighed at his words, "Fine. For Shota's sake."
The two younger men walk inside.
--------
"Shota?"
'Who were they talking about? Is that his name?'
After the detective had left the room, two other men had walked in. He assumed they were Pros based on the costumes. No normal person dressed in THAT much leather (referring to Present Mic).
"Do you... remember us, Shota? Hizashi and I?"
It looks like they ARE talking to him. He shook his head no. This was the first time he has seen these two men. The way they were looking at him made him uncomfortable.
"Sho...ta? Is... that my name?"
The two men standing winced at his croaking voice. In all honesty, he would sign, but he had no clue if these two even knew sign language. So he just resorted to talking.
"Do you remember your own name?"
"No."
"Do you... remember us?"
The raven haired man shook his head, 'No.'
"Is... Shota my name? Do you know me? I'm sorry I- I'm just... so confused."
His voice was so raspy and weak. Black hair covered the scar under his eye. Hizashi and Oboro wore sad looks on their faces at the sound. The taller of the two, Oboro, knelt down by the man's knees.
"Yes. We do know you. Your name is Shota Aizawa. You were once a member of UA's class 2-A about fifteen years ago." Oboro started as he gently pried one of Shota's hands from the yellow blanket the officers gave him. His arm was covered in scars... like his legs. God only knows what they did to him all those years. Hizashi just observed their movements, unsure of what to do he added on to what Shirakumo said.
"You love cats and taking naps, you were the most rational one out of the three of us. All three of us had dreams of starting an agency together..."
The two pro-heros continued talking for what felt like hours. Shota listened to every word as they recounted their old adventures from highschool. Maybe with enough luck, they could help Shota get him memory back. Shirakumo was starting to think that the raven wasn't ever getting his old memories back until...
"Sushi... I- We had a cat named Sushi?"
Hizashi had flung himself so fast to Shota as he held onto him tightly and cried. Shirakumo also had a tear-streaked face, but he held a blinding smile as he watched Shota awkwardly pat the blond's back.
Miracles do happen.
More of this angst shit coming soon ;)

This is my very first time writing fanfiction so please be kind. I'm always open to constructive criticism/suggestions to improve my writing. It's a work in progress so new chapters be released asap.Hope you all enjoy what I've written ❤.
Tumblr media
Summary
While Shigure is away for the weekend, Kyou sees the time alone as the perfect opportunity to confess his true feelings to Tohru. Sadly, his plans are quickly extinguished by a group of uninvited guests.
Chapter one: "I Need to. Talk to You"
It was a crisp, Autumn night. The moments they shared at the beachhouse were now precious memories. It was time to put Summer behind them and focus on what's ahead.
Shigure was gone for the weekend at a writers convention, leaving the teenagers home alone. It was the first time they were entrusted to be left alone for more than a few hours and they didn't want to screw it up.
Yuki was looking forward to some quiet time where he could focus on his school work, student counsel priorities and prepare for his upcoming exams. Tohru, of course, was still adamant about getting housework done.
And Kyou....well Kyou wanted nothing more than for that damn rat to disappear for the weekend with Shigure so he could really enjoy this time with Tohru... but the current circumstances would have to do.
"I'll be upstairs if you need me Ms. Honda." Yuki smiled, but quickly changed his tone after glancing at Kyou "Don't do anything reckless, stupid cat."
The nerve of this guy!
"Grrr.... SHUT UP YOU DAMN RAT! WHAT I DO IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Kyou shouted. He knew that Yuki was just trying to screw with his head, but he wouldn't let him ruin this.
Not tonight. Not this moment.
This was the first time Kyou had been alone with Tohru since the beach house. The first time he'd been alone with her since he finally admitted to himself that he loved her.
He loved her... he loved her so much.
It was so easy for him to say that in his head. It was so clear to him now. Why had it taken him so long to come to that realization? Why had he not figured it out sooner?
There was so much time that he wasted trying to pretend as though he felt indifferent. Hell, it took him months to admit that he even considered her a friend. How long had he felt this way? How long had he longed to pull her in close.... how long had he wanted to hold her in his arms and never let go? How long had he wanted to feel her soft, rosy lips against his?
Kyou's heart began to race as thoughts of their first embrace played out in his head. He felt his palms begin to sweat. He knew something about this moment felt different. Almost like something big was about to happen. That thought scared the crap out of him.
"Kyou? You okay? You don't look too good.." Tohru asked.
"Huh?...Oh uh....no! I mean..... Yes...." Kyou felt himself start to panic. What the hell was he doing? This is Tohru. The girl he's grown so comfortable sharing everything with... The girl who saw his true form. The girl who accepted him at his ugliest and most terrifying.... Why is he suddenly unable to speak to her without sounding like a complete idiot?
He knew why... he knew that this moment was different. She was no longer just his warm hearted friend that was easy to talk to or a kind soul that he could vent his problems to...
No... she was so much more than that now. He now felt the overwhelming feelings of desire. The desire to make her his forever and to never leave her side. The desire to hold her in his arms and drown her in his affection.
The thought of it made his ears feel hot and brought redness to his face, but also an unsettling feeling in the pit of his stomach, like he may throw up if he uttered a single syllable.
"Okay, well... as long as you're sure" Tohru hesitated. "I'm just gonna start dinner, okay?"
Say something, idiot!
"L…let me help. "Kyou finally released a coherent sentence.
Tohru's face lit up. "That would be wonderful!" She exclaimed.
Damn it.... why does she have to be so cute.
He always thought Tohru was cute of course. That day she discovered their secret, he remembered thinking those thoughts. Her cuteness was obvious. Anyone with half a brain could see that.
But now... now he saw her as a woman. He noticed every small detail about her. The smell of her strawberry scented hair. The way her hair flowed as she flipped it away from her face. The adorable crinkle in her nose when she thought something was really funny. The melodic sound of her voice when she said his name. The warmth of her brown eyes as she listened with sincerity. The sway of her hips as she walked...
Stop! Stop it you pervert!
Kyou hated having those thoughts about her. The thoughts that extended beyond her cuteness. The thoughts that made him desire her in a way that he's never wanted any girl.
It felt wrong. It felt wrong because Tohru was so pure and innocent. He didn't want to taint the image of such a perfect person.
But he couldn't help it. He wanted her. He wanted all of her. All to himself.
That must be what love is. Kyou had never fallen in love before, not like this. Only love that was shared between a parent and their child or a platonic love that you have for your friends.
Okay, snap out of it or Tohru will worry.
Kyou began helping Tohru in the kitchen by chopping vegetables. His hands shook dramatically as he worked but he did his best to control himself. He tried to use the breathing techniques that his Master had taught him over the years.
Tonight needs to be the night. She needs to know how I'm feeling.
Kyou was beginning to suspect that Tohru possibly shared some of the same feelings he had for her. He noticed the way she looked at him sometimes and how bashful she became when they accidentally touched or how flustered she would get after he teased her.
I need to know. Honestly, what do I have to lose?
Kyou looked over at Tohru. The steam from the pot of stew she was making left a thin layer of sweat on her face. He could not help but stare and admire the beautiful features of her face. Even drenched in sweat, she was perfect.
“Kyou? Are you sure you're okay?” Tohru questioned, looking even more concerned than she did earlier. “You look like you're about to pass out. Are you feeling under the weather?”
As she said that, Tohru placed a hand on Kyou's forehead. It sent a shiver down his spine. Even just a hand to his forehead was enough to weaken his resolve.
“I said I’m fine….quit your worrying, okay?” Kyou smiled and grabbed Tohru’s hand as he removed it from his forehead.
Instead of immediately letting her hand go, he hesitated. He looked down at her soft, petite hands and smiled.
“You really do worry too much.” He said as he finally released her hand, hoping she didn't notice him shaking
“Okay. Well in that case, thank you for helping me tonight. It's always more fun when I get to cook with you.” She beamed.
I can't take this anymore! This is torture! I need to. .. No! It's too soon….
“Of course, dummy. What else would I be doing?” Kyou joked as he playfully bonked her on the head with a closed fist.
Kyou finished helping Tohru with dinner. They ate together with Yuki and mostly exchanged small talk that involved asking each other how their day went and sharing things that had been happening at school. Kyou was secretly begging for Yuki to leave so he could be alone with Tohru.
But how would I even start? Where do I begin? Do I just tell her in the kitchen or do I take her somewhere romantic? What if rat boy heard? Ugh! This is so confusing….
Kyou sat there, mostly silent as he contemplated how he was going to tell her.
“Are you all done, Kyou?” Tohru asked
“Uh…um…oh yeah, sorry. Here, I'll clean up.” He responded
“Thank you so much, but I don't mind helping" Tohru said as she stood up.
Before she could walk into the kitchen, Kyou extended his arm out to stop her. He was unable to make eye contact so instead he looked at the floor as he spoke.
“Tohru…I…I need to talk to you…about something important. I was thinking. . Would it be okay for us to go and talk on the roof. You know…so we're alone? Kyou’s voice shook as he finally gathered the courage.
Tohru’s eyes widened. He could immediately tell she was surprised by his request. They’ve had conversations up on the roof before, but never any that were planned. Kyou wondered if she knew what he wanted to say.
“Of course! Let me just go and grab a sweater. You should grab one too, Kyou! It's a little chilly out tonight.”Tohru replied with a glimmer in her eyes.
Kyou suddenly felt a flutter in his chest
This is it…this is my chance!
Kyou finished cleaning up as quickly as he could. He ran to his bedroom, grabbed a warm sweater and sprayed just the smallest splash of cologne on his neck.
His heart was pounding.
He met Tohru downstairs. She was wearing an adorable pink fluffy sweater that he wanted to fall into.
Kyou smirked as his nose quickly filled with the aroma of perfume, which he knew wasn't there earlier. His confidence grew even more knowing that she was putting in the effort the way he had.
“Shall we?” Kyou asked as he extended his arm for her to hold so he could escort her outside.
Tohru giggled as she grabbed his arm “Yes, let's go.“
As they approached the front of the house,  they were suddenly startled by a loud knock at the door.
Who could that be? And at this hour?
As Kyo opened the door, his heart immediately sank.
“Yo.” A deep voice exclaimed. Despite it being so dark, Kyou immediately knew it was the voice of Hatsuharu. At the door stood Hatsuharu, Momiji, Kagura, Arisa, and Saki. They all carried small overnight bags.
“What the hell are you all doing here?! Do you not realize how late it is?!” Kyo growled. 
“We’re here to party!” Momiji shouted as he jumped up and down. Momiji grabbed Tohru by the hands. “We’re going to have so much fun this weekend, Tohru! We’ll dance and start a campfire and roast marshmallows and...ooooo maybe even watch a scary movie! This is going to be so much fun!”
Yuki came down the stairs quickly after hearing all the commotion. “What's going on?” he asked.
“We heard you guys were going to be lonely all weekend so we came to keep you company.” Said Hatsuharu with a blank stare on his face.
ALONE…. WE WERE GOING TO BE ALONE… YOU MORON!
Kyou looked at Tohru. He wondered if she could see the disappointment painted all over his face. Tohru looked back at Kyou with a big goofy smile and squeezed his arm.
She unlocked arms with Kyou and began to greet all her friends.
"Welcome everyone!" She exclaimed as she helped them with their things.

do you still do chardee prompts? because i have a mighty need for dee's perspective when charlie passed out because of blood loss and got taken to the hospital and it seemed like dee was super worried about him and relieved when he woke up, but i'm not a writer unfortunately.
Here it is! 
It didn’t turn out great, I was hoping for something more angsty and with more of Dee’s thoughts, but it just wouldn’t come to me.
Sorry about constantly changing tenses, it’s a bad habit, I know.
Initially, Dee was thrilled for the last round of the game. There was no way Charlie could handle being beratedby the Waitress, he would crumble quickly and the Golden Geese would easilysecure another victory. This might even be what it takes for him to finally getover her and they could thankfully be done with the irritating and pitiful pining, even better if he would shift some of that focus on her; though that last part was a little harder to think. As annoying and pathetic as his few attempts to hit on her in the past were, it was kind of nice. Honestly, as much as she wanted to be sexy and desirable, she really liked when it was just them doing whatever, supportingeach other as equals.   
In Dee’s mind, it was supposed to play out like this: the Waitressbitches at Charlie, he breaks, she and Dennis stomp Charlie and Mac’s pieces and brag a bit before Dennis loses interest in her and inevitably fucks offwith Mac, leaving Dee and Charlie alone. They’ll open a few beers, joke, and he’ll remember how easy things are with her. 
 Instead, the Waitress starts yelling and Charlie is sobbing before he’s suddenly on the floor, and not responding to anyone and Dee decides this game isn’t fun anymore. Mac is shouting because they lost, Dennis looks so smug that he won again, and Dee feels like she'sthe only one that actually cares about Charlie instead of the stupid game andit makes her angry. Dee doesn't know why but she's kneeling on the floor nextto him, softly murmuring and she can hear someone judging, "Jesus Christ, Dee", but she doesn't evencare. Maybe it's because it's been a full minute and Charlie still isn't moving, or that she looks too worried to fightback but Dennis announces "Shit, guys, I think he needs to go to a hospital." 
 Injuries were common in the game, even alittle beneficial if it helped weaken the other team, but it usually took alittle gauze and a few beers and things were back to normal, but now the four of them are sitting in a hospital waiting room with theguys whispering to each other, and whatever it's about it's turning into anargument; Dee finds it much more irritating than usual and isyelling at them before realizing it, "godammit you guys. Charlie could be really hurt andyou're arguing about stupid shit."  
----------- 
She and Dennis stand outside the hospital door, and Dee’s conflictedby her desire to shove Dennis out of the way and rush in, or to hide back, away from reality a little longer. Of course, Dennis decides forher, pushing ahead putting on a show of concern for any nurses watching,and acting like he's the leader of the gang. 
They enter the room, and Charlie’s there but he’s still not awake and holy fuck, why is this so scary? They made a blood oath and Dee’s not entirely sure what that means outside of the scheme, but it means something; Charlie can’t break it, he has to be okay. He’s pretty much invincible; he should be sitting up and messing with buttons that shouldn’t be touched, requesting weird combinations off the menu, and driving everyone crazy; be her teammate again. She lets Dennis lead, and Dee has to stop herself from sitting on his bed like she did last time he was here, because it seems way too intimate now, yet she wants to be the first person he sees when he wakes up.  
Instead she places her hands on his knee, and her voice comes out so soft it's almoststartling, "hey, Charlie, you awake?" and Dennis gives her a strange look, but she doesn’t even care because this is more important.  
There’s a flash of a thought, of how theroles were almost reversed earlier, the familiar tinge of annoyance she felt when Dennis drew the ‘Hands on a BirdBody’ card, then unease upon realizing there was a 50% chance that Charlie wouldhave to play, and the awkwardness and tension that could bring. Mac and Charlie, and Frank and Andy break awayinto two groups while Dee climbs onto a stool feeling like an idiot on display, and Dennis positions himself next to her, and whispers something,but Dee’s not listening.  
 She half considers commenting how maybebeing touched by one of these dickbags is gross to her, too, when she locks eyes with Charlie in a heated discussion with Mac; there’s a moment when they bothknow this can’t happen, and suddenly Mac is throwing his hands up in the air,clearly upset, and Dee realizes that he must have lost, and she’s never been so relieved to have to deal with Mac.  
 She can’t help but wonder how that would’ve went. Would he have thrown the level just for show? Would it bring back too many memories to continue? Maybe, he would’ve lasted the longest,just to prove to the others that she wasn’t so bad, that they were strong together. Dee tries the hardest to shove down the question of how he would’ve touched her. 
Dennis has a plan, they'll be there when he comes to, lull him into a false sense of security, then remind him that they won again, before stomping the shit out of their flag; then he makes some dick comment about her bad acting and Dee considers "accidently" stepping on his foot.  
Dennis starts calling his name, and it seemsto be working because Charlie stirs a little, and Dee joins in rubbing his lega little, hoping the soothing action will help wake him. Finally, he blinks,and Dee is so alleviated she's tempted to rest her forehead against his, toconvey how happy she is to have him safe. 
Dennis starts talking, rubbing in how hebroke when the Waitress started in on him, and Dee feels a bit of joy seeingCharlie realize how bad she is for him. It's a nice moment, before Dennis snaps her out of it, reminding her of the plan- they'renot there for a happy reunion, to be real friends caring about each other. Shewalks away, grabbing a book of matches and the losing team's flag, ready tostart the victory ritual; Dennis says one last thing before joining her.  
They finish stomping the flag, and Charlielooks so disappointed, but Dee can overlook it because at least he's okayand things feel almost normal again. Dennis cackles, and looks at her with pride, before exiting to let Mac in the room, leaving the two alone. There's an awkward moment of eye contact before Dee heads for the door, pausing to consider her next move, then lightly brushes his shoulder, sincerely stating “I'm really glad you're okay, Charlie.”  
  I’ll sit on it a few days, then do some fixing and post it to my ao3 prompts and ficlet collection, here. (ch 4, is kind of similar, too) 
 Anyway, hope it was at least close to what you had in mind. also, thank you for implying that I am a writer :)
 If anyone has prompts, send them to me!
