Ateez as Dads-

collab with loren @eightmakesonebraincell who shares the same single braincell as me bc we know we're not the only ones obsessed with the recent ateez x children content

(disclaimer: i don't like babies. but the idea of ateez handling babies? adorable. loren, however, loves kids so here's the outcome)

Hongjoong

"hold this thing, i don't know what to do with it."

"that's your child, hongjoong."

looks like the frightened hamster meme when the baby starts crying out of nowhere

sometimes sleeps through the baby crying its lungs out at night LMAO but that's only when he's exhausted asf

bet he'll write a song or two about fatherhood too and you'll be like 'what would you know about it you slept through the night'

may be uncomfortable at times but when he starts bonding, you'll see it in his actions

like when he reforms cute little things like clothings or shoes for his baby, adding little dangly things to the crib

or when he makes cute accessories for the baby

matching reformed things omg

super stylish matching parent-kid duo

the bonding literally happens with the smallest moment like one day the baby is crying in his arms and tugs at his shirt with its little fist and he's done for he loves his kid 10000x more all of a sudden

and when the baby calms down immediately after coming into his arms? he'll die of happiness

and when the baby recognises him in a group of people??? new level of dad unlocked

literally melts whenever the kid runs across the room to fly into his arms or calls him daddy

paints the room for his kid and gives them a wall in their room to paint whatever they like

lets the kid paint his nails and they could even have that one matching painted fingernail omg

later when the kid grows up they'll have uv lights and like the latest stuff for nails but you bet hongjoong's gonna dry that nail paint by blowing on it-

literally the most supportive, allowing the kid to explore beyond conventional boundaries and guiding them along

also very attentive esp when they start growing up and observing

he'll make sure he answers all of their curious little questions to the best of their understanding

and surprisingly, he won't mind his kid in his studio

like how adorable is it when you find your kid in his lap, sharing earphones as he composes?

he just loves it when they sit on him or when they lie down next to him/on top of him when he's resting that's his therapy

Seonghwa

more of a mother than the real mother

knows exactly what to do like he's raised six kids already (i'm looking at you ateez)

wakes up at ass o clock in the morning to shush the crying baby so you can get some sleep :')

mother-coded that's what he is

you'll definitely be learning motherhood from him LMAO

but jokes aside he's actually the best partner you could have asked for in such a situation

he's so so patient with the kid and you

esp you

he understands when you're overwhelmed and when you need a break

so he's always willing to give you some space and takes care of the kid in the meanwhile which is so :')

so you try your best to return it to him in every way as well <3

you'll both be figuring this journey out together and that's the best part

bonds with the kid so good

esp when they start going to school and he literally can't wait for them to get home so he can hear about how their day was

lives for the gossip he gets from his kids about school too LOL

he'll be like yass give me the tea come on

also pretty much behaves like a kid when he's having a good time with his kids

like he goes 'no it's my turn to select the ice cream flavour you have to try this you'll love it i'm not hearing a no-'

kids teach him new slangs but you bet he'll stick to the good old 'no cap' and 'yeet'

gets matching stupid stuff like those green alien glasses for him and the kid-

you just know your kids will love him more than you and you accept it. you don't mind that at all bc he's such a lovable person

he'll always be running around the house with them trying to catch them or letting them catch him

they will watch animated movies together and draw together and make legos together they're gonna share that obsession

he's there. always. in every moment of their life :')

Yunho

curious to learn

but that doesn't stop him from playing with the baby like they're a toy boi has no fear

he's always gushing over how small and cute and adorable they are

he'll also be a bit scared at first to hold the baby in his arms but will get used to it real quick

loves feeding them and cleaning them with you

he's got some sort of magic to him too he can soothe a crying baby in seconds

plays with them/holds them like they're a cat/puppy

gives them rides on his shoulders and they love it you can hear their laughter ring around the house

teases you about how they look nothing like you but if they do look like you more, he'll be scanning them for one similarity that he can boast about.

"he's got my smile. see?"

loves playing with their hair and combing and styling it

also loves it when you all match unintentionally when going out

the type to play with the kids in the most unconventional ways when you're not looking

almost accidentally drops the baby at least once a week- i said ALMOST okay he's good at catching.

kids cling on to his long legs and he effortlessly walks like no big deal omgg

would even swing his legs like an amusement ride which might possibly earn a scream from you-

also once used the laundry basket as a rollercoaster for the kid. you can imagine how that ended. no living beings were harmed tho-

HE'S A FUN DAD OK

literally his kids are always running around him asking him to do sth fun with them or tell them jokes or play with him

teaches the kids the latest trends

makes dancing tik toks with them

he's actually also the super responsible dad, always dependable. you literally have nothing to worry about esp bc he can be serious when he needs to be

he allows the kids to take challenges, believing the kids need to grow at their own pace and that getting hurt is also a part of growing up

teaches them to be kind, to respect people, to always smile

goes on dates with them to the amusement parks, aquariums, carnivals etc and when they're older they go fishing or go-karting

Yeosang

(sincerely apologise for using a photo with alcohol in a post with babies BUT DOES HE NOT LOOK BABY HERE???)

the babiest of dads

googles whatever the baby does as if that will give him the answer

notices every little thing the baby does

follows instructions like a robot

forgets that the baby is actually a baby and they can't really do their stuff themselves so he has to do it for them-

like for example after a meal he clears the high chair and forgets he needs to help the baby off the chair until it wails LOL

is always worrying about what the baby is feeling esp when it is crying without a reason

always fusses about the little things bc he cares so much :')

sometimes you have to sit him down and tell him that it's okay if the baby is crying-

he even enjoys simply watching the baby esp when they do stupid stuff or play around with food

"that's disgusting but so adorable"

gets taught the latest trends by his kid but still ends up using them in the wrong contexts lmao

yeosang and the kid wailing about the mom on their way home until yeo takes the wrong turn and the kid glares at him and points to the right direction

yeosang and the kid in the shopping mall and yeosang gets lost

goes to the counter to pay but taps his pockets bc he can't find his wallet and the kid sighs loudly and hands it to him

yeosang taking his kid to the parent teacher meeting and he forgets HE'S the parent

he may be forgetful and zone out at times but he's actually very responsible. you never worry whenever you leave your kid with him and go out. you can depend on him <3

you'll see him mature as his kids grow up too, like you can literally see him learning fatherhood

doesn't mean they won't open dexter's laboratory when you're gone and clean up the mess before you come-

sees cute posts about lunchboxes with octopus sausage and seaweed characters on the rice but canNOT replicate it even after spending hours but the kids flaunt it like a masterpiece at their school <3 (loren you're so right for this)

his kids' friends WILL have a crush on yeosang. the teachers might too. how could you not??

his kids gon be the prettiest istg-

San

i'm sorry to break it to you but you'll have to take care of two babies <3

as loren said 'normal children learn behaviours from their parents. san learns behaviours from the baby.'

pretends to cry when the baby is crying so he can also receive hugs and kisses from you

he's actually the most responsive father ever, like he'll know what's actually happening with the kid instead of pretending to know

it's like he's connected to them on an astral level

so he's pretty much a natural caretaker

like he said, he knows how to give love

so he'll never make you feel less loved as well

he'll keep reassuring you how imp you are to him esp now that you're the mother of his child and he'll always be grateful to you for bringing this blessing into his life

but he also has his moments LMAO like i can just imagine him playing with the kid in the most babiest of manners

to the point the kid refuses to listen to you

the kids will always ALWAYS choose him whenever they're asked the 'who do you love more mom or dad' question

and even though that makes you pissed momentarily bc pls who wouldn't get pissed you find it super adorable how much your kids love their dad

safe place.

tells his kids early on what's good and what's bad. no compromises

teaches them when to be sorry and when to stand up for themselves

taekwondo together <3 he'll make them show off at family events or stuff and demand that the audience give good reactions otherwise he's gonna pout sooo hard

he'll make sure his kids don't laze around. chores? yes. exercise? yes. nap-time? necessary. homework? don't even dare to say no. play-time? HELL YES

teaches traditional games to his kids too and makes them interact with other kids to play instead of video games so early on

the video games are HIS okay they can't touch it until they grow up

kids go to him for help in school work and he'll sit there all zoned out wondering when the hell this got included in their syllabus

will refuse to give up until you catch him tired and scratching his head in confusion

"i'm pretty sure education gets tougher every year."

"whatever helps you sleep at nights san <3" LOL

loves spending time together, all of you, anywhere as long as you all are together <3

Mingi

9/10 times will cry when the baby cries

but also really good at taking care of them and it amazes him too

calms the baby down with the cutest most concerned face ever so he looks more baby than the baby

pretends to sleep when the baby wakes up crying in the middle of the night

until you poke his stomach and go 'don't you fucking dare' and he starts laughing helplessly

but then takes the reins and lets you sleep if you look too done <3

jokingly tries to gaslight you into thinking it's your turn to settle the baby but you bet you're keeping tabs too

but when he sees how tired you look, he'll never ever complain no matter how tired he may be himself. will even tuck YOU into bed

the type to sit in the lounge with some kid's show on with the kid itself and you give him snacks to feed the kid

but at some point he got a taste and now he's looking at the packaging and going 'this shit good' when it's actually some baby-friendly snack 😭

and then suddenly it's all gone and the kid is glaring at mingi with angry eyes 😭😭 and he's like pleasure is temporary my child-

but now he has his own fav baby snacks too.

does freestyle rapping about the misery of fatherhood LMAO

also does lame stuff like tapping on the baby's shoulder and when they turn to look at him he has his finger out so it pokes the baby's cheek like-

gets matching shades for him and the kid

hangs out with them a lot, even if it's inside

hears every story they have to tell but also they just looooveee to hear stories from him bc he's a good storyteller

even though half of the shit is made up but he pretends it actually happened-

"one time i saw your mom ugly crying in a shop. i asked her what the matter was. she saw me and fell in love instantly."

"wasn't it the other way?"

loves swinging his kids in his arms whenever he comes home and then you stand there all pouty and he runs after you-

can't scold kids to save himself. can never. always bursts out laughing whenever he glares at them. so you do that for him.

now you're the antagonist in the house

can't handle when his kids are being adorable like he'll just clutch his heart and pretend to faint

best father-kid dynamic bc he's the playful but responsible dad

Wooyoung

he's a natural at this come on

"i feel like he's more my sibling than my own child"

always has his baby in his arms to the point you have to snatch it from him bc you can see he's tired

takes care of everything- from bathing them to feeding them. he's so good at it too

you love him even more bc he may tease you to bits but you never thought he'd be a cooperative lovable menace too

talks to the baby in baby language and they actually hold conversations

and when you join he'll just make fun of you LOL

starts treating you like a baby too when you're tired and you're not sure you hate that you might actually start doing it on purpose too-

taught the kid the art to charm people so they're throwing random cheeky compliments around

like they'll go to a shop and the kid will compliment the shopkeeper and they'll be like omg so precious and hand freebies

and those freebies would be wooyoung's earnings btw aint no way the kid gon have those

will train a family of cutest loveable menaces :')

the chef dad

creates masterpiece lunchboxes for his kids that even the teachers are tempted to steal

i can just imagine the girl friend (also crush) of wooyoung's son at school having a big fat crush on wooyoung and wanting to marry him like come on😭😭

then the son gets super grumpy about it and woo sits him down and asks what's bothering him

then he'll teach him how to bake cookies and the son ends up sweeping the girl off her feet omgg

woo placing his hands over his kid's hands bc they're too small to properly hold the piping bag when they decorate cakes and cookies and cupcakes

them playing in the kitchen and throwing flour on each other and you come and look all smugly at woo bc yes you're gonna clean this mess later on

but you end up joining them :')

dolls up his kids and asks them to kiss him on both his cheeks before they leave

and you bet the kids love that routine

hugs. all the time. hugs.

makes sure to capture these moments for memories if you haven't already and he'll love looking back at these days <3

Jongho

best dad

makes sure he doesn't forget to take care of you as you take care of the baby :')

always gets surprised when the baby does sth new

priceless reactions from him, esp when the baby first says a comprehensible word or takes its first steps

always spreading his arms whenever he spots the baby so the baby can crawl/walk/run to him

swings them in the air and does those little throws

the strong dad. the one who's carrying the kids effortlessly- one on the shoulder, one under the arm, walking as if they weigh nothing

jongho's kid: hi i'm hungry

jongho: hi hungry, i'm dad

overuses every dumb dad joke ever to exist but still finds it super hilarious and sometimes you'll end up laughing along

"back in my days-"

"ah shit here we go again."

bc you know dad jokes aside he's actually a super funny guy when he wants to be

the type to team up with his kid to tease YOU

whispers shit in their ears like 'go pull out your mom's hairclip as revenge for her not letting us hang out in the snow with ice cream last night' when you're super occupied and gets a good laugh out of it

taps your shoulder and then looks away when you glare at him but ends up pointing at the kid like the kid's the one who did it-

when the two are a giggling mess it's hard to differentiate who's the actual kid from the parent

sings with his kids a lot. might vocally train them a bit too

road trips are gonna be so much more fun when everyone's singing at the top of their lungs

when his kid is older and starts to get school assignments that require some form of art like creating a model or designing a poster, his kid is definitely going to score an A because jongho can and WILL help and end up over-achieving LOL

will plan with his kids on days like valentine's or mother's day or anniversary, prepare to get serenaded by the lot

he involves them a lot in everything so they grow up super smart

loves doing stupid things with the kids too like he'll literally be the one following the kids at times

but you love it bc you never have to worry about anything with him ;-; <3 he's also super protective

unless there's a bug in front of you. then you're all on your own.

can i request a little bit of angst?

eddie is in his late twenties, finally got his shit together, a baby on the way with reader! and eddie’s OLDER brother shows up. he’s an asshole, exactly like their dad, tries hitting on reader, crashes on their couch, makes eddies life hell then it all comes to a head and they end up fighting!

I really love this request!!! 🫶🏻

Never proofread

I hope this is what you wanted, thank you for requesting <3

Happy ending

~~~

If there was one thing in life Eddie didn't think he'd ever achieve, it was getting his life together. He never thought he'd make it out of the trailer park. And he definitely never thought he'd have a wife by his side and a baby on the way.

It took Eddie a long time to get on his feet. Selling drugs and living with his uncle was not the future he wanted for himself. He used his dirty money and got himself a shitty apartment, in the corner of the dirtiest neighborhood, but it was all his. And being on his own was something he could be proud about.

~~~

He was living in that apartment for around five years when he met Y/N. She moved into the apartment next to him, struggling to carry boxes through the front door. Eddie was happy he lived on the first floor, easily walking out behind her, trying his best to not seem creepy.

She turned around and screamed as she saw him. A hand over her chest. Eddie jumped at the scream, hands in the air to show he meant no harm.

"I am so sorry! I just wanted to see if you needed help." He offered with the friendliest smile he could manage.

Who would have thought in three years, he would have been marrying that girl.

~~~

Marriage life was the best thing Eddie has experienced, and he felt that fatherhood would be the same. He never knew how badly he craved a family until he was on the path of creating his own. He could start fresh, start a new family tree of the Munson name. A name that didn't have to be originated from prisoners, dealers, and being poor. He wanted the Munson name to be carried on through generations, with all good things behind it. Having a wife like Y/N take his name, told him he had a strong beginning.

She was around six months, her belly growing by the day. Together they made enough to buy a small home, in a safer neighborhood. Nothing too flashy, but it was their home and it meant everything. Eddie gagged at the thought of a white picket fence but he loved seeing it shine in the morning sun when Y/N watered the plants.

The nursery was nearly finished. The walls painted baby pink, and the furniture white. Eddie's favorite bands posted on the walls. He claimed their daughter needed to get her music journey started right away.

Eddie was the happiest he's ever been until an unwelcome visitor showed up at his door.

Y/N knew everything about Eddie, except his family. She knew Uncle Wayne and that was all. She respected that Eddie was private about his family and that he didn't care to share who they are.

So Y/N stood in shock when an older man stood at her door, the same shade of brown as her husband. A similar smile on the man's face, and a slightly bigger version of Eddie's nose.

"I'm looking for my brother," the man stated, looking her up and down. A tiny smirk on his face. But his smirk didn't give her butterflies, it made her stomach turn in a bad way.

She screamed for Eddie, a polite smile on her face. The longer Eddie took the more nervous she got.

"How far are you?" The man questioned, his hand reaching for her stomach.

She took a big sigh of relief when Eddie's hand shot out and stopped the man's touch from touching her. He stood in front of her. Completely blocking her view from the stranger.

"Little E, how the hell are you?" The stranger asked

"What are you doing here?" Eddie snapped. She watched as his body was stiff, she slipped her hand in his back pocket and stood on the side of him.

"Got out of jail, needed a place to crash. Wayne is going out of town and doesn't trust me alone in his place." The man rolled his eyes as he finished his sentence.

"I don't blame him since the last time you did you trashed it," Eddie said, his jaw was tight and his face was hard.

"Come on, E, help a brother out."

~~~

Eddie wasn't sure why he said yes, but he already regretted it watching the way his brother's eyes were glued to his wife.

"Quit staring," Eddie snarled, using his foot to kick him under the table.

Y/N hummed in the kitchen as she checked the chicken. Trying her best to keep her attention off of the two men at the dining table. She felt her body shudder underneath Michael's stare.

"Quite a woman you got there," Michael said, sipping on his beer

Eddie didn't say anything, accepting the silence instead.

Y/N smiled as she placed the food on the dinner table. Putting together a plate for Eddie and placing it in front of him.

"Gonna make me a plate, pretty girl?" Michael winked, his hand reaching forward to her wrist. She gulped and looked nervously at Eddie.

"Leave her alone." Eddie snapped

Michael put his hands up in surrender, making his own plate.

The three sat in silence.

~~~

Michael has been crashing on the couch for the past week, and every day he was getting on Eddie's last nerve.

Y/N worked from home and spent most of the day in her office, Eddie worked at a car dealership. He hated leaving for work and leaving her alone with Michael. He didn't trust Michael but Eddie's boss would also kick his ass for not showing up.

He kept his phone on him at all times, reminding Y/N to call the second she needed him to come home.

~~~

Michael said he found a friend to crash with and would be leaving shortly. Asking Y/N if she would help him clean his clothes and pack up his belongings. She honestly felt too scared to tell him no, silently scooping up his clothes and bringing them to the small laundry room. She excused herself to head into the shower. Eddie would be home within minutes so she felt safe to be in a vulnerable state, checking twice to make sure the door was locked.

~~~

Eddie pulled up in the driveway, bracing himself for another night of trying not to kill Michael with his bare hands. He walked in to see his house trashed, the cushion torn apart, and the cupboards all thrown open, he heard shuffling around in the bedroom. He raced to the noise to see Michael digging through their drawers.

"What the fuck? Are you trying to rob us?" Eddie asked in disbelief, Michael's backpack was filled with random items. Eddie yanked the bag out of his grip, dumping it all out on the bed.

He felt his blood boil when Y/N's ring fell out. But once his brain caught up with seeing the ring, his blood felt cold. She ONLY took it off when she was in the shower. Eddie turned his eyes to Michael, immediately shoving him against the wall.

"Where did you grab the ring?" He prayed with everything in him that she left it in the bedroom.

"She had it sitting on the bathroom counter, she couldn't see me with her back to me. Really hit the jackpot there, Eddie. Shes' smoking."

Eddie felt his stomach turn, he felt like he could throw up at any moment.

"You fucking pig. Don't talk about her." Eddie barked, twisting Michael's shirt in his grip.

"A really nice ass, I bet her tits ar-" But Eddie kicked Michael in the stomach before he could finish.

~~~

Y/N heard a commotion in the bedroom, fear in her stomach as she got covered herself in a towel and called Wayne. Racing out of the bathroom to see Eddie on top of Micahel, screaming and punching.

"OH MY GOD, EDDIE" She panicked, she knew getting in the way would put the baby in danger, but she has never seen Eddie so out of control.

The sound of her scream caused Eddie to freeze, and both men looked to see her.

"Eddie, stop," She said calmly. She placed her hand out, offering him to stand up. He took a deep breath and got off of Michael. Grabbing his bag and throwing it on him.

"You are out." Eddie snarled

Michael coughed as he tried to move his beaten-up body. Eddie rolled his eyes and dragged Michael to his feet.

"I have his clothes," Y/N said, quickly running out to the laundry room.

Michael smirked as Eddie looked over at him.

"What asshole?" Eddie asked.

"I see why you knocked her up. When she was bent over that washing machine." Michael groaned, rubbing himself over his jeans.

Eddie lost it again, immediately throwing his body on his.

Y/N came back with the clothes to see Michael unconscious, but the look in Eddie's eyes was unrecognizable.

She didn't fear him, but she was worried for him.

She breathed a sigh of relief when Wayne came through the door, yanking Eddie off of Micahel.

"Hey, hey, look at me," Wayne instructed, grabbing the sides of Eddie's face, forcing his eyes to look at him.

Eddie's body was shaking, his knuckles cut open, and his breathing was quick and harsh.

Eddie locked his eyes on Waynes, allowing himself to calm down.

"I'll take care of him, hug your wife and go clean up."

Eddie listened in seconds, turning around to throw himself in his wife's arms. Allowing her to hide in his neck. She rubbed his back and cooed in his ear.

She took him to the bathroom to clean up his hands. Kissing each knuckle as she cleaned the blood.

"I'm sorry I let him stay here." Eddie sighed, he couldn't believe he was that dumb. He watched Wayne do the same thing with Eddie's dad for years, and yet he did the same thing.

"Don't be. You wanted to help and that was sweet of you." She said, standing between his legs as he sat on the counter.

They heard the front door close, Wayne and Michael officially gone.

"I'm sorry my family is a mess, this I why I never wanted you to know them." He added. His hands reached down to rub her stomach.

"Wayne is your family, I'm your family, and she is your family. That's the only family I care to know. Wayne raised the man I love and he is the only one I need to know. I have the two best Munsons in my life." She said, leaning up to peck his lips.

"Well, I get to have three." He smiled, kissing her back and his hand stayed on her stomach.

This was his real family.

Omg 🥹

ur writing for dad max is soooo cute

Can u make one where Olivia is graduating pre-k or something from school and the whole family attending the mini graduation and being so proud of her 🥹🥹❤️❤️

yes yes yessss 💗💗 thank u sm!!!!

Preschool Graduation┃MV1

It was a beautiful morning and Max was dressed in an elegant tailored suit. He stood proudly next to his wife Y/N as they attended their little daughter Olivia's preschool graduation. The air was filled with excitement as families gathered in the hall, adorned with beautiful decorations and colorful balloons emblazoned with the phrase ''Class of 2023.''

Max's heart swelled with pride as Olivia, in her tiny cap and gown, joined her classmates on stage. The little graduates were beaming with joy, and Max couldn't help but feel nostalgic about how quickly time had passed since Olivia's first day at preschool. He still remembered when he had cried that morning with his daughter in arms trying to convince his wife to stay home that morning and not send her to school because he still couldn't believe that the day had arrived.

Y/N, with a proud smile, squeezed Max's hand as they took their seats. Both families, the Verstappens and the Y/L/N, were there to celebrate this special moment. Max's parents were sitting nearby and exchanging proud glances with Y/N's parents.

The ceremony began with the children entering, holding hands and laughing. Max tried to maintain his composure, but every time he caught a glimpse of Olivia's radiant smile, his eyes filled with tears. He dried them discreetly, hoping his wife wouldn't notice.

When Olivia's name was called, Max couldn't contain his emotions. He let out a proud cheer that echoed throughout the room. He jumped to his feet, camera in hand, and started taking pictures madly. "That's my daughter!" he yelled, not caring that it elicited some amused looks from the other parents. Although his wife was not far behind, she also stopped to record from the moment her little girl got up from her seat until she turned to see her parents and waved with a huge smile full of joy from stage. Both families burst into applause and shouts when the little girl received her diploma. And to Olivia's surprise, all of her uncles were there too. Charles, Carlos, Lando, Daniel, George, Alex and even Checo with his family were there, all applauding excitedly and some crying.

Max's eyes shone with tears of joy and he wiped them away with the back of his hand, laughing at his lack of self-control, but he didn't care in the least.

To the amusement of the other parents, he snorted and pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket, declaring, "It's very emotional, okey?"

When the ceremony concluded, Max took Olivia in his arms and spun her around as she laughed with joy. Both met with the whole family along with the other drivers.

"Congratulations, my little champion!" Max exclaimed, his eyes shining with pride. Olivia smiled at her father, a miniature version of Max's infectious smile on her face.

The day continued with a celebration at Verstappen's house. Max and Y/N had organized a small gathering with family and close friends to honor Olivia's achievement. The backyard was adorned with decorations and a special cake.

While guests enjoyed the festivities, Max found himself reflecting on his journey into fatherhood. He had always been passionate about racing, but watching Olivia grow up gave him a different kind of satisfaction.

During the celebration, Max and his wife took a moment to share a few words for her little girl, expressing admiration for her determination and enthusiasm for her life. They talked about the joy she brought to their world and how her accomplishments, no matter how small, filled them with an immense sense of pride.

Many might know Max as the beast he was when he got into his F1 car and raced on the circuits, or others as the triple champion, but despite that, he was the best father to a beautiful little recent graduate named Olivia and he best husband for his beloved.

Can I request SWWSDJ, MDHM, John Doe, and Peter YB with a reader who is pregnant. I don’t know why I just wanna know how they are with a moody Y/N and newborn babies.

Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm sorry I haven't responded in a while... university started and I still haven't adjusted my schedule. I hope you like it.

ALAN ORION

- Alan would be extremely protective and possessive of you during the pregnancy. He would worry constantly about anything harming you or the baby.

Alone and Forsaken

Summary: Joel is on his way to bail Tommy out of Travis County jail, having left Sarah behind sleeping. He soon realises something has gone terribly wrong with the world, and he and Tommy are desperate to save her. Basically: my interpretation of the truck journey back to the Millers to rescue Sarah, on the night of the outbreak in the HBO version. Based on this piece I wrote.

Notes: This took it out of me: I rewatched both the HBO series and the game scenes leading up to/after this to get into the right headspace, and it really did a number on me. This follows the events of the show, however feel free to interpret it however you wish! Please don’t hate me - this fic is quite sad, so please don’t continue if you feel it’ll upset you. Special thanks to @mandrillusphinx for the idea.

Warnings: Angst, swearing, mentions of violence and blood, potentially distressing content.

Slamming the truck door harder than he meant to, Joel cursed his little brother under his breath. Fuckin’ Tommy. Couldn’t even keep his shit together on his birthday. He knew it’d been a bad idea as he’d watched Tommy go earlier that night; they’d had a shitty day at work, the hours dragging on, more and more problems cropping up on site. His brother’s solution? Head into the city when they were done, hit a couple bars and drink till his back didn’t hurt anymore. Tommy knew better than to invite Joel. He’d never had that kind of freedom; becoming a father unexpectedly at 22 would do that to anyone - not that Joel resented it for a moment.

He thought of his daughter, now, as he headed along the highway towards Travis County jail to bail his shithead brother out, ready for Tommy’s lazy excuses. Guilt pooled in his stomach. The fuckin’ cake. The fuckin’ watch. Sarah was his blessing; his biggest achievement, and more often than not he felt he was letting her down as another year of fatherhood passed him by. She was growing up, blossoming into a young woman, as beautiful as her mother had been before her. He knew he ought to treasure the twilight years of just the two of them. Joel was seeing his baby through college and beyond, no doubt about that.

He couldn’t forget Sarah’s words, eating away at him as they had been for the last hour or so as he struggled to concentrate on Curtis & Viper 2, her other birthday gift. You were never gonna do it for yourself. Joel tried to escape the notion that his kid was doing a better job of parenting than he was. His baby was polite, popular; Joel swelled with pride at parent teacher conferences and at school pickups, overhearing comments from some of the other parents. She’d had to grow up quicker than her peers, and she’d taken it in her stride.

He resolved to take a couple days off that weekend; head out hiking with Sarah like they did every year for his birthday. It was their favourite thing to do together, and he hadn’t made enough effort so far this year. Joel needed to make the most of it before he lost her entirely to soccer practice and sleepovers, or when she inevitably thought she was too cool to hang out with her old man. Tommy already did a good enough job of making him feel like a fuckin’ dinosaur. Small steps first, though: don’t forget the fuckin’ cake. Again.

Joel sighed; scrubbing a hand over his face, weary to the bone as he tried to concentrate on his driving. It was only then, pulled from his reverie, that he noticed the stream of traffic flooding past. Cop car lights dazzled him; he counted a dozen in less than a minute, speeding erratically on the highway. He felt the smallest frisson of fear. What the fuck? An accident? A bomb? Police activity in Austin on a Friday night was not unusual, but the numbers were unnerving. He was driving into in the city now; a journey he knew like the back of his hand. But as he travelled further; Joel began to feel a strange sort sickness, unimaginable chaos unfolding before him.

It all happened so fast. It flashed by as he headed for the jail on autopilot: cops scuffling with bystanders on the sidewalk, smashed glass and smeared blood, and people running - sprinting - seemingly for their lives. In every direction, with no thought for the road or whatever may be on it, any sense of human instinct totally abandoned. Bodies on the floor as helicopters thundered loudly overhead; white beams casting a horrifying light on the scene playing out before him. Joel turned the radio up, chasing an explanation; terror sliding down his spine like sweat in the summertime. A monotonous voice filled the cab of the truck: “This is a National Security Alert. Return to your homes, and stay there. Further instructions will be announced in due course. This is a National-“ he switched it off, heart leaping into his mouth. Sarah.

Joel rounded the corner much too fast; headlights miraculously landing on Tommy, eyes wild as he sprinted toward the truck, people fleeing into the darkness around him. “Move the fuck over, Joel! Let me drive!” his brother was yelling, and Joel slid across the bench, half in shock. “How’d you get out-“ Joel began, but Tommy was firm, temporarily more composed than his older brother. The military man in him. “Doesn’t fuckin’ matter, Joel. We gotta get outta here, away from all these people,” he said darkly, pulling off the sidewalk. “Where’s Sarah?” he asked, wiping sweat off his brow. “At home, asleep,” Joel whispered, feeling bile rise in his throat.

Tommy cursed loudly, foot to the floor as he navigated out of the city; Joel tried to center his breathing, anxiety washing over him in an endless tide. He couldn’t drag his eyes from the windows. People hunched over bodies.. Robbing them? Murdering them? Was it some kind of poisoning in the water supply? Psychedelic drugs gone wrong? Protesting taken too far? Civil unrest? Cars were rammed into one another, power lines were faltering and storefronts were on fire. “Tommy, what the fuck is happenin’? What do you know?” Joel demanded. He hated the loss of control; the world was falling apart around him and he’d left his daughter at home. Alone. Defenceless. In the one place she should be safe.

“I overheard a nurse, sayin’ it could be some sorta new virus, people attackin’ each other and shit like that,” Tommy rambled nervously, “You remember that stuff goin’ on in Jakarta? On the radio this mornin’? Well, looks like it’s happenin’ here.” Joel did remember his birthday breakfast that morning. It felt like a different life, a million miles away, a normalcy that had been torn to shreds. Reprimanding Sarah for the egg shells, hustling her out the door for school. Sarah. His baby. “I left her, Tommy. I fuckin’… I just left her, in her bed,” Joel muttered, anger at himself curled in his chest.

“You lock the door?” his brother asked, knuckles white on the steering wheel. “Of course I did,” Joel spat, watching - waiting - for each street sign and junction, counting down the minutes. “She’ll be fine,” Tommy tried to quietly reassure him, “bet ya she won’t’ve moved an inch.” Joel ran a hand through his hair in exasperation, dripping in sweat, praying his brother was right. She’d be there, sure she would. Curled up with her sneakers on still. Right where he’d left her. Nobody could get into the house, he knew that much. Not unless they tried very fucking hard.

The disorder seemed to dissipate a little as they headed away from the city center; a tiny comfort. “Joel, this guy at the bar? The reason they called the fuckin’ cops?” Tommy started, “I ain’t ever seen shit like that in my life. I couldn’t stand there and let it happen. Dude was fuckin’ crazy, tryin’ to bite this waitress. Like he had a disease or some shit. He was twitchin’ all over, too. Maybe it’s a parasite,” he shrugged.

The blood in Joel’s veins had long since turned to ice, his brother’s story solidifying it. “Tommy, you fuckin’ get us home, and you get us there now,” Joel urged, feeling his heartbeat accelerating. His daughter’s name was a mantra in his head, repeating with each frantic thrum of his pulse. He was taking charge; Sarah needed him, and so did his brother. He hadn’t failed them yet, and he sure wasn’t gonna start now. “Rifle in the back?” he asked, Tommy nodding solemnly. Joel leaned over, grateful for something to do. Five minutes till home.

Equipping himself with a wrench, Joel urged Tommy on. Images flicked over and over in his brain like a sickening picture show: Sarah, her dark eyes - his eyes - wide with fear, her breath quickening, screaming for him, her father, who’d abandoned her in the darkness. No. He shook his head, physically, ridding himself of the nightmare. “What about the neighbours, Joel?” Tommy asked. “The Adlers? Denise, and the kids? Should we warn ‘em? Take ‘em with us?” Joel shook his head; again, more furiously this time. “Like hell, Tommy. We don’t even have a fuckin’ plan. Best we can do is tell them to stay inside,” he said irritably, guilt ever-present and swirling in his guts.

“So, what do we do?” Tommy asked plainly, earlier bravado deserting him. It always worked this way. Whatever Joel said, Tommy did. “I don’t.. I don’t know,” Joel mumbled, voice cracking. “We grab Sarah and we get the fuck out. No time for anythin’ else.” Tommy was nodding; orders received and heard. “Get a fuckin’ move on, Tommy!” Joel slammed a hand on the dash.

The cul-de-sac loomed into view: it was eerily, deathly quiet, besides a car alarm in the distance. “Come on, come on,” Joel pleaded, adrenaline coursing through him, homing in on his daughter. His purpose, all that mattered in the world. “There, Joel. I can see her!” Tommy pointed up ahead, outside the Adlers. Sarah was running. Fleeing, like he’d seen everybody do in the city. From the unknown, from danger, from death. But she was alive: her face caught in the glow of the headlights. Terrified and alone. But Joel was here now. He’d save her. Because he didn’t know what he would do if he couldn’t.

hello ^^

can I request Zuko x pregnant reader or just hurt/comfort?

Zuko x Pregnant reader.

A/N: Sorry if this is kind of short. I'm kind of a little rusty right now when it comes to writing X readers right now.

Zuko's reaction was a mix of shock and joy as he processed the news. His eyes widened as he took in the words, his heart beating rapidly in his chest. He reached out a trembling hand to gently lift y/n's chin, making her meet his gaze. "Y/n, are you serious? You're pregnant with my child?" he asked, his voice filled with a mixture of disbelief and excitement.

Y/n nodded slowly, tears welling up in her eyes as she searched his face for a reaction. Zuko's expression softened as he pulled her into a tight embrace, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I can't believe it… I'm going to be a father," he whispered, his voice filled with wonder.

As the reality of the situation sunk in, Zuko felt a surge of protectiveness and love for y/n and their unborn child. He vowed to be there for her every step of the way, to support her and their growing family with all his heart.

"I may not have had the best role model when it comes to fatherhood, but I promise you, y/n, I will do everything in my power to be the best father I can be," Zuko declared, his eyes shining with determination.

Y/n couldn't help but smile through her tears, feeling overwhelmed with love for the man she had chosen to start a family with. In that moment, she knew that no matter what challenges they faced, they would overcome them together, as a team.

And as they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, basking in the glow of their shared happiness, Zuko couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected blessing that had been bestowed upon them. He knew that their journey ahead would be filled with challenges, but he was ready to face them head-on, with y/n by his side.

daddy

➥ a/n: this fic is based off of this post made by @cultrise

➥ summary: some unexpected news fall onto hobie and his girlfriend

➥ angst to fluff one shot

The air was thick with anticipation as Hobie and (Y/n) sat in their small apartment, the weight of a life-altering revelation hanging heavily between them. They had been together for several years, their love blossoming in the midst of shared dreams and aspirations. But now, the unexpected news had left them both uncertain and filled with a mix of emotions.

(Y/n) clutched the pregnancy test in her hand, her heart pounding in her chest. She turned to Hobie, her eyes filled with fear and vulnerability. "Hobie... I'm pregnant," she whispered, her voice trembling.

Hobie's eyes widened, his breath catching in his throat. The words echoed in his mind, a whirlwind of emotions crashing against his senses. The thought of fatherhood, of taking on such immense responsibility, left him feeling overwhelmed.

He ran a hand through his hair, his thoughts racing. "I... I don't know if I'm ready to be a father, (Y/n)," he admitted, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

(Y/n) nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. "I understand, Hobie. I'm not sure if I'm ready to be a mother either. This is so unexpected, and I'm scared," she confessed, her voice trembling with vulnerability.

Hobie reached out, gently taking (Y/n)'s hand in his. He squeezed it reassuringly, his gaze filled with genuine care. "Listen, (Y/n), you're my girl, and I love you more than anything. I'll respect whatever decision you want to make. Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what," he reassured her, his voice filled with unwavering support.

Tears streamed down (Y/n)'s face as she looked into Hobie's eyes, her heart aching with a mix of emotions. She knew that this was a defining moment in their relationship, a crossroads that would shape their future. But deep down, a spark of determination ignited within her.

"I want to keep the baby, Hobie," she said, her voice filled with conviction. "I know it won't be easy, and we're both scared, but I can't ignore this feeling inside me. I want to embrace the challenges and joys of parenthood together."

Hobie's eyes softened as he listened to (Y/n)'s words. He squeezed her hand tighter, a mixture of emotions swirling within him. "If that's what you truly want, (Y/n), then I'll be right here by your side. We'll face this journey together, supporting each other every step of the way," he said, his voice filled with determination.

A mix of relief and gratitude washed over (Y/n) as she felt the weight of Hobie's words. They were embarking on a path filled with uncertainty, but their love and commitment to one another would guide them through.

In that moment, a renewed sense of unity filled the room. They embraced each other tightly, their hearts beating in sync. They knew that their lives were about to change, and they were ready to face the challenges and joys of parenthood head-on.

As the evening wore on, they discussed their hopes, fears, and dreams for their growing family. They talked about creating a safe and loving environment, envisioning a future where their child would thrive.

Together, Hobie and (Y/n) made a pact to be the best parents they could be, supporting each other through the ups and downs that awaited them. Their love would serve as the foundation for their growing family, a bond that would withstand the tests of time.

With their hearts filled with determination and love, Hobie and (Y/n) took the first steps on their journey into parenthood. They knew that it wouldn't be easy, but their unwavering commitment to one another would guide them through the challenges, allowing them to experience the incredible joy that awaited them.

•••

Weeks had passed since (Y/n) and Hobie had made the decision to embrace their impending parenthood. The excitement and anticipation had grown with each passing day, and now it was time for an important milestone—the first prenatal check-up.

Hobie stood by (Y/n)'s side, his hand gently resting on her lower back as they entered the doctor's office. Their hearts fluttered with a mix of nerves and anticipation. This was the moment they would hear their baby's heartbeat for the first time, a sound that would make their little one's existence even more real.

Dr. Hernandez, a kind and experienced obstetrician, greeted them with a warm smile. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he guided them to the examination room.

Once inside, (Y/n) settled onto the examination table, her heart pounding in her chest. Hobie took a seat beside her, offering a reassuring smile. Their eyes met, filled with shared excitement and nervousness.

Dr. Hernandez prepared the ultrasound machine, and soon, the room filled with the soft hum of the equipment. He applied a cold gel to (Y/n)'s abdomen, causing her to shiver slightly.

As the doctor moved the ultrasound wand across (Y/n)'s belly, the monitor came to life, displaying a blurry image of their little one. The couple held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen.

Then, the sound they had been eagerly waiting for filled the room—the rapid thumping of their baby's heartbeat. It was a beautiful symphony, a testament to the life growing within (Y/n)'s womb.

Dr. Hernandez smiled, his eyes crinkling with warmth. "Wow, that's one strong heartbeat," he commented, marveling at the monitor. "Your baby is healthy and active. It's always a joy to hear such a strong rhythm."

Hobie's heart swelled with pride as he looked at (Y/n), a playful gleam in his eyes. "They get it from their mom," he said, his voice filled with love and admiration.

(Y/n) chuckled softly, a twinkle in her eyes. "No, they definitely get it from their dad," she responded, her voice filled with affection.

Dr. Hernandez chuckled, enjoying the playful banter between the soon-to-be parents. "It seems your little one is already surrounded by love and good-natured debates," he remarked, his voice light-hearted.

As the examination continued, Dr. Hernandez provided (Y/n) and Hobie with important information about the baby's development and offered guidance on prenatal care. He answered their questions patiently, ensuring they felt supported and well-informed.

Leaving the doctor's office, (Y/n) and Hobie walked hand in hand, their hearts filled with an overwhelming sense of joy. The sound of their baby's strong heartbeat echoed in their ears, reaffirming their commitment to being the best parents they could be.

As they strolled down the street, a newfound excitement filled the air. They couldn't help but discuss their dreams and hopes for their child, already envisioning a future filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities.

Throughout the pregnancy, (Y/n) and Hobie would cherish the memory of hearing their baby's heartbeat for the first time. It would serve as a reminder of the incredible journey they were embarking on and the boundless love they shared as they prepared to welcome their little one into the world.

•••

Hobie paced back and forth in the small office, his heart pounding with a mix of nervousness and excitement. He had decided to seek some advice from his, Miguel, on the journey of becoming a father. As he waited for Miguel to finish a call, his mind raced with all the questions and uncertainties swirling within him.

Finally, the call ended, and Miguel looked up, meeting Hobie's expectant gaze. His brow furrowed in curiosity as he noticed Hobie's restless demeanor. "What's on your mind, Hobie?" he asked, his tone laced with curiosity.

Hobie took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "Miguel, I need some advice. I... I'm going to be a dad," he revealed, his voice filled with a mixture of pride and anticipation.

Miguel's eyes widened, surprise flickering across his face. "Oh..” he says, a small smile starts tugging at the corners of his lips. "I didn't know you were expecting."

Hobie grinned proudly, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a small, embroidered badge and held it up for Miguel to see. The badge, adorned with the words "Daddy Squad," glinted under the office lights.

Miguel's eyebrows shot up, his eyes widening in slight amusement. "Daddy Squad?" he repeated, a hint of laughter in his voice.

Hobie's chest swelled with pride as he attached the badge to his leather jacket. "Hell yeah boss man! The Daddy Squad," he proclaimed, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "We're a team of awesome dads-to-be, supporting each other through the journey of fatherhood."

Miguel's laughter filled the room, genuine amusement lighting up his features. "Congratulations but… what or rather who’s exactly in this daddy squad? " he said, his voice tinged with dry humor.

Just as Miguel finished speaking, the door swung open, revealing Miles Morales, Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and Pavitr Prabhakar—all wearing matching "Daddy Squad" badges on their jackets. Their grins mirrored Hobie's as they entered the room, their camaraderie evident.

Miles raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Did someone say Daddy Squad?" he quipped, a playful smirk on his lips.

The room erupted in laughter as the group of soon-to-be fathers exchanged jokes and camaraderie. They had formed an unexpected bond, finding solace and support in one another's experiences and aspirations.

As they settled into a comfortable conversation, Hobie couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude. He was surrounded by friends who understood the challenges and joys of impending fatherhood. Together, they would navigate this new chapter of their lives, united as the Daddy Squad.

Throughout the coming months, Hobie, Miguel, Miles, Peter, Gwen, and Pavitr would continue to support one another, sharing advice, stories, and laughter. They would celebrate each other's milestones and stand by each other's side during the ups and downs of fatherhood.

The Daddy Squad, with their matching badges and shared experiences, had forged a bond that would last a lifetime. They were ready to face the challenges and joys of becoming fathers, armed with the knowledge that they had a brotherhood of support to lean on.

As the group continued to chat and laugh, the office buzzed with the excitement and camaraderie of the Daddy Squad. They were a force to be reckoned with, ready to embark on the incredible journey of fatherhood, hand in hand.

•••

The living room of Hobie and (Y/n)'s apartment was filled with laughter and banter as Pavitr, Miles, Gwen, and Peter gathered for a little get-together. (Y/n) sat on the couch, her growing baby bump visible, while Hobie knelt in front of her, gently polishing her toes black to match his own painted nails. The room was filled with a sense of camaraderie and excitement.

Pavitr and Miles, ever the competitive duo, were engaged in a playful argument over who would be the godfather of Hobie and (Y/n)'s child. Their voices filled the air as they threw playful jabs at each other, vying for the coveted role.

Hobie couldn't help but snicker at their banter, enjoying the spectacle. He sat back on his heels, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Come on, guys, is this really necessary?" he chimed in, his voice filled with amusement.

Pavitr crossed his arms, a determined look on his face. "I should be the godfather. I have the maturity and responsibility to guide this child," he declared, a playful glint in his eyes.

Miles shook his head, his smirk widening. "No way, Pavitr. I'm the obvious choice. I can teach this kid all the cool tricks and pranks," he retorted, his voice filled with playful confidence.

Gwen and (Y/n) exchanged knowing glances, rolling their eyes playfully. "If anything, Peter should be the godfather," Gwen suggested, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "After all, he already has a kid."

Peter's eyes widened in mock surprise. "Hey now, don't rope me into this debate," he protested, a playful grin tugging at the corners of his lips. "I have enough on my plate with my own little one."

Pavitr and Miles shared a conspiratorial look before lunging at Peter, playfully wrestling him to the ground. Laughter echoed through the room as the three friends engaged in their friendly tussle.

"(Y/n), you have to help us settle this," Hobie called out, his voice filled with amusement. "Who do you think would make the best godfather?"

(Y/n) smiled, her hand instinctively resting on her growing belly. "Well, considering Peter's experience as a father, I think he's got a pretty strong case," she said, her voice filled with affection for her friends.

Gwen nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling. "Yeah, and he's got that natural ability to connect with kids. Plus, he's already been through the ups and downs of parenting," she added, her voice filled with admiration.

Pavitr and Miles playfully released Peter from their grasp, their laughter echoing through the room. Peter dusted himself off, his playful smile intact. "Well, I guess it's settled then. I'm the godfather," he declared, his voice filled with mock pride.

The room erupted in playful cheers and laughter as the friends continued to enjoy their time together. The godfather debate had provided a light-hearted moment of amusement, highlighting the strong bond they all shared.

As the evening wore on, Hobie continued to pamper (Y/n), his attention focused on her and their growing baby. The love and support that surrounded them served as a reminder of the incredible journey they were embarking on.

Together, with the support of their friends and the newfound joy of impending parenthood, Hobie and (Y/n) embraced the challenges and joys that lay ahead. They knew that their child would be surrounded by love, laughter, and a community of caring individuals.

•••

The day of the baby shower and gender reveal had finally arrived, filling the air with excitement and anticipation. Hobie and (Y/n) stood in their beautifully decorated apartment, their hearts brimming with love and gratitude. Friends from across the Spider-Verse had gathered to celebrate the impending arrival of their little one.

The room was adorned with vibrant decorations, and a long table displayed an array of delicious treats and desserts. A large, intricately decorated cake took center stage, eagerly awaiting the moment when the gender of the baby would be revealed.

As the guests mingled and exchanged stories and laughter, the atmosphere was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and unity. The Spider-Verse members, including Miles Morales, Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and other familiar faces, came together to show their support and welcome the potential addition to their unique family.

Hobie glanced at (Y/n), his eyes filled with awe and love. "Can you believe this, (Y/n)? Our friends are here, ready to shower our little one with love," he whispered, his voice brimming with gratitude.

(Y/n) smiled, her hand resting on her baby bump. "It's incredible, Hobie. We're so lucky to have such a loving and supportive Spider-Verse family," she replied, her voice filled with warmth.

As the festivities continued, the time came for the much-anticipated gender reveal. (Y/n) and Hobie stepped forward, their hands intertwined. The room fell silent, everyone eagerly waiting to discover the baby's gender.

With bated breath, (Y/n) and Hobie cut into the cake, revealing a slice that was both pink and blue. Gasps of surprise and excitement filled the room as the realization sank in—(Y/n) and Hobie were expecting both a boy and a girl.

The room erupted in applause and cheers, laughter filling the air. The Spider-Verse members exchanged playful glances, their eyes shining with happiness. This unexpected twist brought a whole new level of excitement to the celebration.

Miles let out a whoop of joy, his voice filled with exuberance. "Twins! We're gonna have double the trouble and double the fun," he exclaimed, a wide grin on his face.

Peter chuckled, his eyes filled with mirth. "I guess our little Spiderling family just got bigger," he quipped, a playful sparkle in his eyes.

The guests surrounded (Y/n) and Hobie, showering them with well wishes and love. They marveled at the miracle of new life, celebrating the unique bond of their Spider-Verse family.

Throughout the day, laughter and joy filled the air as stories were shared, games were played, and gifts were exchanged. The love and support for (Y/n), Hobie, and their soon-to-be-born twins were palpable, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As the baby shower drew to a close, (Y/n) and Hobie stood amidst their Spider-Verse family, their hearts full of gratitude and excitement. They knew that the journey ahead would be filled with challenges, but they also had the unwavering support of their loved ones.

Hand in hand, (Y/n) and Hobie embraced the love and joy that surrounded them. They were ready to embark on the adventure of parenthood, knowing that their Spider-Verse family would be there every step of the way.

•••

The momentous day had arrived. (Y/n)'s contractions had started, signaling that the time to bring their twins into the world was near. Hobie stood by her side, his eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and concern. The couple had opted for a home birth, surrounded by their closest friends and loved ones.

The living room had been transformed into a peaceful sanctuary, softly lit with candles and adorned with gentle music. A birth pool had been prepared, ready to offer comfort and relaxation during the labor process.

Hobie held (Y/n)'s hand, offering words of encouragement as she breathed through each contraction. The room was filled with an air of serenity, the support of their friends providing a comforting presence.

Miles, Peter, Gwen, and the rest of the Spider-Verse family gathered around, offering support and words of encouragement. Even the usually gloomy Miguel surprised them all by showing up, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

(Y/n) smiled weakly at Miguel, gratitude shining in her eyes. "Thank you for being here, Miguel. It means a lot," she whispered, her voice filled with appreciation.

Miguel nodded, his eyes softening with understanding. "I may not show it often, but you're part of this Spider-Verse family too. We're here to support you," he replied, his voice filled with sincerity.

As the labor progressed, the room filled with a mixture of excitement and gentle reassurance. The midwife and doula provided guidance and support, ensuring that (Y/n) and the babies were safe throughout the process.

Hours passed, each moment bringing (Y/n) closer to meeting their precious little ones. Hobie never left her side, offering comfort, holding her hand, and whispering words of love.

Finally, the moment arrived—the first cry of their baby boy filled the room, followed closely by the cry of their baby girl. Tears welled up in (Y/n)'s eyes as she held her newborns against her chest, feeling their warmth and hearing their little voices.

Hobie's heart swelled with love and awe as he gazed at his beautiful family. He leaned down, pressing a tender kiss on (Y/n)'s forehead. "You did it, love. You brought our miracles into the world," he whispered, his voice filled with awe and adoration.

Miles, Peter, and Gwen looked on, their eyes filled with wonder and joy. Miguel, though usually aloof, wore a rare smile as he witnessed the beauty of new life. The room was alive with the essence of love, as the Spider-Verse family embraced the miracle before them.

In the moments that followed, (Y/n) and Hobie basked in the bliss of parenthood, their hearts overflowing with love for their newborn twins. Their friends surrounded them, sharing in their joy and marveling at the little ones they had come to cherish as their own.

As the hours turned into days, the Spider-Verse family continued to offer support, helping with the newborns and ensuring (Y/n) and Hobie had time to rest and bond with their babies. They formed an unbreakable bond, united by the love they shared for the newest members of their extraordinary family.

With each passing day, (Y/n) and Hobie marveled at the beautiful journey of parenthood. The sleepless nights and diaper changes were met with endless love and a deep sense of fulfillment.

The birth of their twins had brought them even closer to their Spider-Verse family. They had witnessed the support and love that surrounded them, reaffirming the power of connection and the strength of their unique bond.

"Australia, 2024. “One picture, a thousand memories” Everything that led up to this epic photograph has been an incredible journey. It started in 2017 with a Thai Police Officer Anirut disarming a distraught man wielding a knife and hugged him. Mr. Crowe, a man full of compassion, recognized this act of kindness and it led to a meeting between Mr. Crowe and Officer Anirut 4 years later. Mr. Crowe is very kind to me and we kept in touch. We talked about many things including fatherhood. He told me this before my son was born... “It is an incredible privilege to be a parent. Probably the greatest of all human experiences. A true gift from the Gods.” I now understand what he meant. In a way, Mr. Crowe saw Little Tinn grow up through my updates. I would occasionally tell Little Tinn about a great man I would like him to meet one day. Mr. Crowe and I bounced around the idea of meeting up and after some arrangements we found ourselves in Mr. Crowe’s place in Australia. It was one of the best times in our lives! Mr. Crowe and Britney embraced us and made us feel like home. We met fantastic people and made wonderful new friends. Many stories were exchanged and we got to know how great Mr. Crowe really is through fond memories of his closest friends. Little Tinn finally got to meet his father’s hero, a true legend, Russell Crowe. This picture of Russell and Tinn says it all. Thank you so much for adoring Little Tinn. With all that being said, we would like to wish all the children in Thailand a very happy National Children’s Day (via @tinchok555 on X)

My god I just finished reading all of your moon boys as dads blurbs and holy shit

I was hoping you would write a blurb/one-shot where Marc just can't help but compare fem! reader (they have 2 sons) and his mother, but the reader doesn't act the way his mom would and that is slowly but surely healing him. Maybe also where their younger boy gets hurt while playing with his brother and she calms their oldest by saying "It wasn't your fault, you didn't do it on purpose". Poor Marc would definitely start crying as soon as they're alone. Anyway, toodles!

Healing Wounds

Summary: Fatherhood was something that really healed Marc in a way that he couldn't imagine, and with that, situations are a lot less stress-inducing and let him enjoy finer moments with his family.

Warnings: Talk about Marc's trauma. Thoughts of self-doubt and being unable to let go of the past. Y/N and Marc (and the rest) being good parents. A whole lot of fluff at the end.

Author’s Snip: We love letting our man heal his mental and emotional wounds.

I’ll shut up now. Enjoy! And don’t be afraid to request.

Word Count: 859

It was kind of funny. Of course, you and him end up having two sons. It just had to happen like that didn't it. It wasn't like he didn't want them. God, no. Marc would never trade his boys for anything and he knows that neither would you.

But it was always there in the back of his mind. The faintest overlay in his vision and memory to back when he was a kid and all of its awful moments. All the screaming, crying, pain, and moments and milestones that were stained no matter how much he tried to scrub the bad out.

With your first, Aaron, there was the dread of being a parent and doing it wrong. He didn't want to get any of it wrong but there was the dilemma of where exactly he was meant to be. Too much of a pushover then his son would be spoiled and never get the hang of life. Too strict and demanding then he'd just be her. And Marc would rather die than even be her in the slightest. It was a hard thing for him to balance in his own mind. Marc was gone for a while but you all knew that it was for him to reflect and gather himself. Marc very much still had some wounds that he needed to lick before he took that journey.

And he did great. All three of them did great in their own ways but Marc clearly felt more comfortable and secure with himself being a dad and also working with you. You knew deep down that you were a part of that security, that the image was mostly on you. And you made sure that Marc never saw her in you even once. It's not like you were planning too, of course. You couldn't even imagine doing such things, or how any mother could have the audacity.

But when Matthew, or Matty as you all call him, came along there was a new dilemma that brought on more thoughts that wouldn't leave him alone. But Marc knew that Aaron and you managed to heal those wounds, so he knew that this would heal up so much more. He just needed to believe in himself and you, and the process.

Marc had the usual talk that a parent would with a soon-to-be older sibling, the whole "Just because we're having another one and are giving them more attention doesn't mean we don't love you. They just need more attention because they're small". Aaron understood, matter of fact he seemed really excited to be an older brother. Marc took that and made it something to use for healing. You and him taught Aaron how to help take care of Matthew and how to hold him, letting him be a part of his baby brother's life.

Years went by and they both grew, you bought a house, Marc started feeling better, and everything felt perfect. Sure, there were some moments but they never really impacted anything. There was no fear, no nights spent laying awake worrying about something happening, no moments where the ghosts of a past long since passed showed up in his mind.

That was until one day when everything was seemingly normal. You were doing something, Marc wasn't really paying attention and also couldn't remember what he was doing either. The boys were playing in the backyard. But at some point, you both hear a scream and then a cry coming from the backyard.

Rushing out, you find Matthew sitting on the grass crying and holding his foot while Aaron is kneeling next to him and looks upset and panicked. You go and pick up Matthew while Aaron is repeating "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." and possibly about to cry himself. That's when it all gets Marc, and hard.

He feels overwhelmed by everything, but just before it gets too much he sees you try and settle your boys down. "What happened?" you asked Aaron calmly while holding Matthew who was sniffling into your shoulder. "We were playing soccer and he was going to get the ball in my goal so I tried to stop him, but I didn't know where his foot was so when I kicked he fell." Aaron explains as he starts to cry. You kneel down to his eye level, "Hey, it's okay, sweetie." you shush, "Was it an accident?" you ask. Aaron nods as he whips his tears. "Okay, then it wasn't your fault. You didn't mean to trip him." you say as you help him whip away his tears. "Are you okay, Matty?" you ask the smaller boy to which he nods.

"Alright. Then why don't we just hug it out and maybe sit down for a little or do something inside, yeah?" you suggest. The two boys immediately go in for the group hug, but you glance up at Marc, seeing him watch the whole thing, and gesture for him to join in. Marc, trying to hold back the water in his eyes, joins in. It lasts a few seconds but Marc can feel the situation healing up something again.

Costume Meta 6x17

This has been an epic journey to get this meta written! my AuDHD did not want to play ball this week, the battle raged and I prevailed! Later than I’d intended but I hope you enjoy the penultimate costume meta of season 6!

What an Episode from a costume perspective! I was going to do my usual character by character breakdown for this episode but when I started writing it became obvious that this method wasn't going to work, so we have a hybrid thing going on here so forgive me if it appears a bit odd, but sometimes the colour use is more important!!

Bobby

First up, we have Bobby wearing a light grey T-shirt and a black zip front Hoodie. The use of this light, grey and black combination is an interesting choice. When you consider how the only other person in the episode we see wearing black or grey is Eddie (Buck does wear a grey top at the end of the episode, and that’s relevant, but I want to focus on Eddie). This choice is signalling to us that Bobby will be more connected with Eddie story than any other characters in the episode. The light grey T-shirt is neutral on Bobby, but it also represents stability, reliability and insight. The black Hoody represents protection and also authority, the authority in the scene we see him where it is evident with his comment of filing forms on the next shift, but we also see Bobby in that position of authority when it comes to his conversation with Eddie in the sense that Bobby answers Eddie’s question from a position of prior experience.

The navy blue that Bobby wears to the hardware store is a nod to security, but also honesty and reliability. This is Bobby placed into a position of trust, Eddie is trusting Bobby to give him honest advice. Interestingly, the scene from 5x18 where Eddie visits Bobby at home, we get an almost reversal of colour-ways, Eddie is wearing black and dark brown while Bobby is wearing a blue shirt, not dissimilar to the Blue, Eddie is wearing in this scene. Obviously the black and brown Eddie wears is not the same as the navy Bobby is wearing. However, the choice of dark colours in both scenes and one character indicates which one has the knowledge to share. In 5×18. It is Eddie, whereas in 6×17 it’s Bobby, who has the knowledge.

Bobby wearing a maroon button up shirt with the sleeves fully down. I’ve spoken before about how the show has uses maroon in the past as a representation of fatherhood, especially in relation to Buck and Bobby. This shirt is not that because maroon can also be a colour of confidence and passion - the deepness of it as a shade of red speaks of an intensity of feeling - her in this scene it is all visual representation of Bobby’s love for Athena. When earlier in the episode we have had Bobby speaking to Eddie about how he and Athena found and built their second (or third if you’re Athena) chance at love, this shirt is showing us just how true and deep that love for Athena is.

Athena

Athenas only non uniform costume for this episode is this sparkly brown/gold button front cardigan worn over a black tee. we’ve seen her wearing earthy bronze toned and sparkly tops in connection with Bobby a couple of times this season and there is something about the bronze colour representing strength and support and staying grounded and how that ties into what Bobby said to Wendell about Athena making him feel like he was on solid ground. While the use of sparkle is a nod towards the idea that being or feeling grounded by something doesn’t mean boring - that it can still feel magical and ‘sparkly’. It says so much about not only Bobby and Athenas relationship, but also about the wider message of the episode - the idea that grounded love is better than love that is airy and floaty because it is built on a strong foundation.

Athena also has a new necklace - which I've not yet been able to identify so I can't look into meaning if anyone figures it out please let me know - it looks to be either some form of compass or a cross of some sort, but its hard to be sure as we don’t get much time to look at it - I am leaning towards it being a cross rather than a compass because it only has 4 points and just generally looks more cross like to me but unless I can find it it is hard to be sure!

Hen

Hen was out there with her outfit choices this week - first up we have the lilac purple thick flannel shirt with the dark grey and maroon check. Obviously the first thing is the check pattern - so Hen in danger! This could be signalling the danger she comes up against in the episode - Maddie. Or it could be foreshadowing for 6x18 and whatever danger the 118 finds itself in because we know that Hen is trapped in the back of the ambulance somehow! The choice of lilac is a hint that its more likely connected to the conversation with Maddie because lilac is empathetic and compassionate, but it can also be easily offended - all things that connect into Hen through this Madney engagement arc.

We also get this amazing green and yellow cardigan that I can only describe as fizzy and sherbet-y! THis one actually follows on from the orange and brown one we saw her wear in Bucks hospital room - when Chris came to visit him. the yellow and green combination is really interesting and doing a lot of the work in this scene - yellow being communication, while the green is growth and renewal - the fundamentals of this scene - we seen Hen communicate with Maddie (the first tie they've actually had a scene together which is insane!!) as well as show her growth since the last episode - she owns up to her mistakes and her and Maddie are able to move forwards.

Maddie

The grey oversized hoodie worn open represent speaks of Maddies comfort in her own home and in her life more generally. The grey represents stability and compromise, it is a neutral colour and it is considered reliable. In combination with the purple tracksuit pants, purple meaning imagination, inspiration, enlightenment, and spiritual growth, hints of both Maddies initial uncertainty yet growing confidence and enlightenment when faced with the question of marriage, something she had been uncertain of prior to actually seeing the ring.

The black tee is a representation of the power Maddie has - it is close to her chest so the power is with herself at this point in time - she needs to reckon with her own feelings on the matter. The fact that the black then transfers to a blazer means that the things Maddie has to confront are more external - Hen and Buck, but that power very much remains Maddies and ultimately it is her choice (which she has already made before she even puts the ring on).

Maddie in Pink when she puts on the engagement ring is so perfect because pink is the colour of unconditional love. It’s a blend of red and white and speaks to the love for oneself one’s family and one’s partner. It is also a colour of calm comfort in the face of any obstacles that may be ahead. it’s a positive colour and highlights perfectly where Maddie is whilst wearing this pink shirt, she is experiencing a range of emotions and feelings surrounding finding the engagement ring, but we see her taking positive steps, showing compassion and a sense of self confidence that we haven’t seen from Maddie in awhile.

Marisol

So Eddie runs into Marisol in the hardware store wearing a raglan sleeve top with a decal of strawberries and Seattle city with 'Dreamer' written above. So strawberries are considered a food of love and romance due to being heart shaped, not because they have any sort of impact or influence on love, but simply because they superficially look like hearts. The addition of the word dreamer written above it in blue (which makes the word stand out more) really plays into the theme the show has been weaving into the season - about reality v fantasy and or dreams. about how dreams don't live up to reality and about how dreams or fantasy are lacking in substance. To me this is saying that if Eddie were to pursue something with Marisol, it will be lacking in substance, that it won't ever compare to anything he had with Shannon (the thing Eddie has been comparing his relationships to) or anything he already has. The whole scene with Marisol was a sort of jinx Ana reintroduction redux, the tee is just confirming and adding weight to that for us - it is the same colour ways we saw Ana wearing in the Jinx scene - reenforcing all the other hints and signs we we given in this episode (and others) that Marisol isn't going to be endgame.

I also loved the 8 pointed star necklace - 8 pointed stars are more commonly seen as compass roses or wind roses - they show the 4 cardinal and 4 inter-cardinal directions. Compass roses are considered symbols of the freedom to choose your own direction - free to choose the life you wish to lead. I think in this case it was a reminder to Eddie that it is he who is in control of his destiny and no one else. there is also the fact that a compass rose cannot point towards the wearer/ holder because it would mean heading backwards and not forwards.

Taylor

Sorry for the jump scare but the Bitch is back and bitchier than ever!!! Firstly the necklace - this is a Taylor regular necklace - we saw her wear it in several scenes, the first time being in 4x14 when she comes over to Bucks after he didn’t chase her - a pertinent and deliberate choice considering that Buck wears a navy vertical striped shirt in both that scene and in this episode!

Then we have the black top under the plum blazer - throw back to Buck's outfit in treasure hunt anyone??? so plum as a colour is a shade of reddish purple and generally is associated with power, ambition arrogance and magic. with the exception of magic, these are all things very definitely associated with Taylor and especially Taylor in this scene. it all plays into her true nature as someone for whom everything is a story and she will happily sell out for a pay-check and to further her career!

Natalia

The interesting outfit choices continue for Natalia as well. we have the bright red top, generally a colour of passion and romance, but worn under a black jacket and with a black skirt which has flamingos, magnolias, lilies and eucalyptus branches. Flamingos symbolise balance, freedom and individuality. Lilies are most often associated with death and funeral (very on brand for a death doula) while Magnolias are dinosaur plants they predate bees and are considered to be a symbol of stability but also history and and we saw Ana wearing a dress with a magnolia flower pattern (I now cannot find the post I wrote on the subject!!) The foliage is eucalyptus, which is a symbol of strength and protection is also a symbol of purification.

I made a post just after the episode airs about how the necklace she is wearing is Santa Muerte - the grim reaper and I want to go into this a little deeper here. Santa Muerte is a personification of death and is associated with both healing and the safe delivery of a person to the afterlife - the obvious inference here is that while initially her presence may seem healing, if Buck continues to pursue something with Natalia it will only end with her leading him to the afterlife rather than enabling him to live.

The choice to continue the nods towards Natalia‘s job as a death doula is very deliberate. If they wanted to show her as more than a death doula, they would have put her in a necklace that was a nod towards other interests or aspects of her personality, putting her in a Santa Muerte necklace insures her connection with death remains central to her character and continues to emphasise the fact that she is a literal representation of death. Buck reckoning with death and the fact he’s walked side by side with it his entire life is one of the central themes of his story this season so this textual and visual manifestation of that reckoning through his attempts to form a relationship with Natalia and it ultimately only leading to healing for Buck and not a future with death because Buck still has so much life to live. death deals in dying not living and so Natalia has played a part in Bucks healing but she can go no further with him.

There’s also something in the fact that in this scene we get mention of three options for tipping and that it’s Natalia that points this out to Buck when his maths skills (gained through his temporary death) fail him, it continues the theme of three surrounding Buck this season and as this is his second date with Natalia hints that they’re being one further date before he figures it out makes changes which leads to him getting it right – we see the third date play out later in the episode - now all we have left to see is buck figuring it out, making the necessary changes and ultimately getting it right - whether we get that in 6x18 or are going to have to wait until season 7 remains to be seen!

The second date in the episode and the third date we see Natalia and Buck have, her in a denim jacket over a black dress with green foliage and a star jasmine floral design. The star jasmine is a symbol of spiritual Ascension, health and healing, and are commonly found in funeral bouquets across much of Asia. They can also be seen as a symbol of innocent love, and this is generally held mean I love that hasn’t developed into anything substantial or lasting. It’s also worth noting that, apart from the date in the previous episode, Natalia has always been wearing outfits with a large predominance of black, this maintains her ties to death as it is a colour most commonly associated with mourning.

We also have some different necklaces - and these are ones we've seen Taylor in before as well - just to further the necklace links between Bucks love interests and them meaning failure! I’m going to write a meta on the use of necklaces in the show - especially on Buck and Eddies love interests during hiatus as its actually a very interesting and telling topic!

Christopher

Only one Chris scene in this episode and my boy is back in the horizontal stripes - change is coming. The stripes are set agains a cream background and are 2 shades of blue and 2 shades of green as well as 1 shade of brown. The collar of the tee matches the henley Eddie is wearing, while the Hoodie mimics the one we saw Buck in at the beginning of the episode. We’ve seen Chris in blue and green stripes only one other time this season - in Bucks coma dream - when he was also wearing the same hoodie. There is something to be said about the fact that the costume team have chosen to draw a parallel between that moment in the coma dream when Chris is asking for help finding his father with all of its layered meanings and this scene where Chris has been engineering for a school project that requires constructing - a project that comes heaped with multiple layers of meaning as well.

The use of the hoodie to parallel with Buck in the episode itself is also interesting - both scenes involve conversations about Eddie dating - for Buck it revolves around Eddie downloading but not being able to bring himself to open a dating app while with Chris it’s more subtle - Eddie fending off Pepa’s attempts to set him up and a comment from Chris about what’s been distracting Eddie’s attention away from him and this project - ‘are you going to run errands again today?’

Eddie

We start off with Eddie in his trademark olive khaki green jacket and with a black tee. Like I said about the use of Black on Maddie, the black tee is about Eddie having the power in relation to his dating life. The wardrobe department have deliberately chosen to show us Eddie in an outfit which is familiar to the audience as a representation of who Eddie is. The reason for this is so that when we see Eddie out in his various attempts to meet someone the clothes he’s wearing stand out as not being the Eddie we know. It all helps to add to the storytelling of Eddie doing things that Eddie doesn’t normally do, it’s an additional layer that helps to reinforce the fact that his attempts at meeting someone are essentially more to get his Tia off his back than they are to genuinely meet someone.

All of the outfits we see Eddie wear on his attempt to meet someone - to engineer a meet cute if you will are in a limited colour palette - lots of grey with some black and a bit of yellow ochre. It was all very barbie/ken dollesque which had me giggling because Eddie dressing for his surroundings and not as himself screams of someone very much outside of their comfort zone and trying too hard!

First up we have coffee and magazine Eddie in the long sleeve dark grey top with very light grey trousers and a black gilet. This is the most un-Eddie out fit of all the outfits we see him wear in the montage. it is all monochrome and the padded gilet is essentially protective armour - both in terms of colour and the use of a gilet - which Eddie has zipped up pretty high.

Then we get the golfer Eddie - again its all grey and the top has a grey on grey weave that gives the effect of camouflage - someone who is trying to hide in plain sight.

Then we get hiking Eddie in his grey and black tops with yellow ochre trousers. This outfit is probably the closest we see to real Eddie - but even here the yellow ochre trousers are out of character. He is also fully covered up and wearing a fleece and I’m sorry but out in the sun in LA it doesn’t get that cold in April/May (and we know it has to be around that time thanks to the calendar on the Diaz fridge from previous episodes) so the only reason to wear a fleece is if you are subconsciously making yourself cocooned or protected - essentially unapproachable. The yellow ochre trousers are an interesting choice considering the fact that we had coma Buck in the same colour of trousers and they are out of character for Eddie as well - much too bright normal Eddie is far more muted in his colour choices. These ones are actually even brighter than Bucks from his coma and are much closer to an orangey brown ochre than yellow.

We also need to talk about watches - Eddie wears his work watch to both the coffee attempt and the hiking attempt while he wears his Christopher watch to the golf attempt. We can also figure out the timeline - coffee was indeed first, then he went hiking before attempting golf later on - he has the bandage on whilst playing golf (but no golf glove - another hint that golf is not something he does regularly or ever!!) There is something about the fact that Eddie wears his work watch in the two scenes where we do actually actively see him attempt to interact with some people and the work watch also representing a form of protection - its a piece of his uniform. Yet in the golf scene - the queerest of the 3 scenes we have him wearing his Christopher watch - the scene where Eddie gets actively checked out by a male character far more than the female ones do.

Eddie bumping into Marisol in the hardware store wearing a black top was a choice - I spoke in the Maddie section about black being a colour of power and how her black tee being closest to her skin represented the power of a decision being hers in relation to her engagement. Well the same logic applies here to Eddie - he is the one with the power in the scene - black can also mean aloofness and keeping people at arms length (because of its intimidating nature) and there is the fact that it is the colour of mourning (when worn without other colours as we see in this scene) - we saw Eddie rocking out the black in the hospital during Bucks coma, so fact that we see Eddie walk away from Marisol whilst in this colour speaks volumes for the likelihood of any relationship between the two of them working!

Buck

So so much blue on Buck again in this episode - honestly the weighting towards blue on him this season has been insane and very intentional. I can’t wait to finish the season so I can tally it all up and show you the colour graphs (love a good graph to show all the data!!) for Bucks costuming throughout the 6 season!

I also want to talk about watches for a moment because Buck wears his watch the entire episode and its very deliberately on show, he always has his sleeves rolled or pulled up, he’s wearing short sleeves and the one long sleeved top he wears with the sleeves down the sleeve is tucked behind the watch so that the watch can be seen. There is something in the fact we’ve had such a prominant display of Bucks watch this season specifically and the idea of time - the idea of Buck being up against the clock in some way has been a theme throughout hte season - racing to be able donate his sperm - the race against time to get him to the hospital and get his heart started again - the coma dream was one big race against time and even several of the rescues this season have been about a race against time.

We start off with the navy blue hoodie - a hoodie which it turns out is paralleling Buck and Christopher! The hoodie is over a blue top which is similar to the colour of the long sleeve polo we see him wear later in the episode - we can only see a tiny bit of it at the collar in the scene, but thanks to the BTS we got, we know it is a slightly lighter shade of blue, and that it its a long sleeved tee. So the Buck wearing blue theme continues, but now at the back end of the season we are getting an increasing amount of darker shades - all the blue tops he wears this episode are generally darker in tone than we’ve seen him in this season. This is telling me that the blue theme is heading towards its conclusion and I’m increasingly convinced that the use of blue is about water finding its level. I mentioned the parallel with Christopher, but there is also a less obvious one with Bobby as well - all three of them wearing hoodies - and the only ones to do so in the episode - there is something in the idea of them representing their respective found father and son dynamics with these hoodies and in a season all about family and building a family more specifically and when we’ve had canon confirmation that Buck and Bobby have a father-son relationship, the choice to parallel Buck and Christopher in these hoodies only furthers the fact that Buck and Christopher also have a father-son relationship developing.

Next up is the yellow ochre broadcloth shirt over a black tee - Buck again wearing yellow ochre on his second date with Natalia sure is choice given what I wrote in my 6x15 costume meta about his yellow ochre shirt for the first date. The same dual meaning is in play once again, it is about communication, but it is also about loneliness and isolation. It is no coincidence that immediately after a conversation in the station about Eddie having downloaded a dating app and his Tia continuing to set him up on dates Buck calls Natalia and sets up another date.

The ochre shirt also plays into the theme of Bucks mental health being in a vulnerable place - I think its telling that he made a comment to Eddie about Natalia ‘really seeing’ him and then we get the context that it has been (at least) a bit of time with her comment that she was surprised to get his call and she thought she had come on too strong. That is not the response of someone who really truly feels seen by another person in my book - he would’ve been keen to set up a second date, not holding off. The other aspect of his mental health being in a vulnerable place in this scene where he is wearing yellow ochre is the fact that his math skills appear to either be fading or gone completely. This suggests that Buck is through that initial period of change - that the being different and not knowing what to do with that and that feeling of being all at sea is also fading and that he is now actually starting to find his level - something which we see come into play later with the third date outfit.

Much like with Maddie and Eddies black tee, this one on Buck also speaks about him being the one with the power - the power over his own heart and destiny. The universe throwing Lucy into his path to ‘fluster’ him also plays into the black and yellow ochre combination. Buck trying to pick the perfect place for a date and then picking a badge and ladder joint - somewhere ‘old Buck’ is familiar and comfortable with for a date with someone who supposedly sees him better than he sees himself is a Buck falling on his safety net and in many ways falling back on old habits

Navy blue vertical stripes - now where have we seen those before?!! I’m fascinated by the parallels we get between this episode and 4x14 centred around Buck , because there are a fair few especially in relation to events that occur and the use of colour in both episodes. So Buck in a navy shirt with white vertical stripes opens his door to an unexpected guest - Taylor in 4x14 and Maddie in 6x17. I’ve already spoken about Taylors necklace pendant being the same, but we also get the black and pink parallel as well - Taylor wearing pink over black in 4x14 and Maddie wearing black over pink here. Ew also get yellow ochre parallels in both episodes - Bucks jacket in this one and the yellow ochre jumper he wears when packing to go back to the Diaz house and when Taylor kisses him. We also get the parallel of Natalia running away and Buck not chasing her in the same way Taylor ran away in 4x14 and Buck didn’t go after her because he had family related things going on - foreshadowing through costumes at its finest!! its also similar to the Taylor I love you scene shirt as well. With the costumes paralleling to 4x14 and specifically scenes in Bucks loft from that episode, I think is a deliberate choice - it’s meant to indicate that Buck is at risk of repeating the same mistakes and going down the same road he did with Taylor.

Domestic housewife Buck my most beloved - put that man in an apron, slinging a tea-towel over his shoulder or wearing pink floral washing up gloves and I will melt!! I would like to point out that he wears the white trainers throughout the episode (although I don't know if he is for the bar scene as we don't see his feet!) and he actually has longer length trousers on in this scene too! The thing with the apron is the choice of horizontal stripes - not something we see on Buck ever and that is why this apron is interesting - it plays into my stripe theory so it represents change coming. Oliver spoke about Buck being in a place where if he's going to be in a relationship then the other person is going to have to meet him where he is and accept him for who he is.

The stripes are the perfect think for Buck in this scene - one where things play out in a similar way to the start of his romantic relationship with Taylor at the end of season 4 and one where Taylor herself is again part of the narrative with her appearance on the tv. In season 4 we had Taylor kissing him and running away and then berating him for not chasing after her when Eddie had woken up post surgery and Buck prioritising him (his family).

This diner date scene plays out in a remarkably similar way - with Natalia running away and Buck not chasing her - prioritising Kameron's comfort and issues. Kameron is the representation of life to Natalia's death Buck choosing to allow Kameron to stay and to help her is less to do with the sperm donor arc and more to do with the representation of Buck choosing life over death - choosing to continue living life rather than flirting with his 'old friend' death. This is really really important for Buck - the person whose entire existence has revolved around death and his passively suicidal tendencies. The stripes mark the change - the moment he has learnt from dead Bobby in his coma dream and the moment he essentially makes the choice to choose life rather than death. I'm not for one minute suggesting he's magically healed or anything - Buck still has a long road of healing ahead of him, more that this is a moment where he has made a big step - now that there is some distance between the moment he died and was resurrected and where he is now.

Its going to be interesting to see how and why Natalia pops back up next episode, it would be a massive marker of growth for Buck to actively state to Natalia he's not interested (in whatever form that takes) as we would get to see him break the cycle of his past relationships - him recognising that he has the power of choice - of not going along with things and finding himself in the middle of a relationship without knowing how he got there. It’s an important step for him.

And then we have Buck in grey - there’s actually something really interesting that I’ve spotted in relation to Buck and the colour grey. We haven’t actually seen him wear it that often this season. In fact we don’t see him wear it in season six until after Kameron has become pregnant and all of the scenes we then see him wearing grey in are in someway connected to family, and more specifically children. So we see buck wear Grey for the first time at the end of 6×09 when he’s asleep on the bed. The next time is in 6×12 when he is seeking comfort and falls asleep on Eddie‘s sofa, then in 6×13 when he is cookie baking with Christopher. We can you add this grey knit top to the list, and once again it is connected to the family and children. I want to point out at this moment that Kameron sleeping on that side of the bed with her pregnant stomach positioned where it is is a deliberate choice because it throws back to that final scene from 6×09 when the camera pans to the onesie on the bedside table.

I’ve spoken before about Buck and, his wearing grey being tied to uncertainty and confusion and I think the added layer of family and children is an interesting combination. The fact that we getting these scenes which either directly or indirectly relate to Christopher, along with the impending parenthood of Connor and Cameron through Bucks sperm donation being linked through colour and colour related to uncertainty and confusion, speaks volumes about bucks journey this season, we are being given a visual connection that implies that buck, through his sperm donation is questioning and figuring out the parental nature of his relationship with Christopher.

Whether or not we see this reach it’s full conclusion once Kameron has given birth remains to be seen, however I think whatever scenes we get with Buck talking to Connor about becoming a father in 6×18 may play some part in things clicking for Buck and his full acceptance that he is a parent. The sperm donation storyline is very much about Bucks recognition and acceptance of himself as a parent, we, as an audience might have balked at the idea of Buck donating his sperm because of him misunderstanding the assignment, but the reality is that the journey, this storyline has taken him on, actually leads him to understanding the assignment and if you remember the scene in season five, where he states, he misunderstood the assignment and drew a cartoon heart was a scene where Buck was wearing grey! In fact, in season, five since the misunderstood the assignment scene in 5×14 Buck only wore grey in one further scene – the one in 5×17 in Christopher‘s bedroom when Eddie was packing to go to Texas.

So having Buck in grey - connected to family in season 6 and then also having Eddie wearing blue and it also being connected to family (across all the seasons) in the same episode is making me feel a little bit insane.

I’ve saved it until last - and its why they are missing from the character by character breakdowns - but we need to talk about these specific blue costumes in this episode because boy were they telling a story all their own in this episode! Maddie and Chim’s engagement outfits, Bucks loft date night outfit and Eddies outfit in the hardware store with Bobby.

Blue is a colour of loyalty and trust, security and it is confident, it can express persistence and wisdom, but it can also belie fragility, insecurity and uncertainty. These are all meanings that we see in play with these 4 blue outfits in varying degrees.

Putting Madney - who have had to go through a huge amount of trauma together and separately to get to where they are now - who have had to fight for each other, fight for what they have and fight for happiness, being paralleled with Buck and Eddie - who have also been through a huge amount of trauma together and separately and have fought for each other and are seemingly fighting their way towards their own version of happiness and togetherness is a pretty telling and loud choice!

Maddie is in the brightest of the blues - her’s is the one that is slightly separate from the other three and I feel like that is deliberate (not only because having both her and Chim wearing the same shade of blue in a scene would look weird and matchy matchy!) Maddie is the one who proposes, she is the one who takes control of the situation presented to her, whereas the other 3 are all experiencing varying levels of doubt, confusion and uncertainty. For Maddie (and Chimney) we see the loyalty and trust play out very obviously, we also see wisdom. Maddie is secure and confident in these scenes and the blue being brighter than the others shows us that.

Chim talking through things with Gina - questioning everything related to his decision to propose - he is feeling uncertain and somewhat insecure in both himself and in his decisions. He is in a similar place to both Eddie and Buck in this colour although for obviously different reasons.

The other thing about Chimney being a similar colour to Maddie is that they wanted us to see them as being on the same page - as a unit and a pair. this is the moment we get them in harmony with one another after a few weeks of crossed wires. The use of colour and especially blue (which has its own marital connection - something blue) highlight the trust in their relationship as well as the confidence in it.

The blue top is in line with the many other blue tops we've seen him wearing this season - and so it continues the blue theme Buck has going on. I spoke earlier in the section about Bucks yellow ochre jacket about Buck wearing yellow for the first two dates and mentally being vulnerable etc in the aftermath of his experience with death. well this blue top is the other side of the coin - its about water finding its level. The choice to put Buck into the same shade of yellow for the first two dates - when he felt seen after the first one and then thought he could pick that feeling back up with Natalia, only to find that those things - those differences - are fading and he’s less certain of things and then follow it with blue - a blue that is very close to the blue of Eddie and Chim in the episode - for a scene where the reality of Bucks life - of his being very alive and living his life to the max is such an intentional choice. We have had the resurrection theming around Buck so very heavily in this season, but across the series as a whole and this change from yellow to blue also plays into that theme somewhat. I wrote about yellow representing Judas and therefore betrayal in the 6x15 meta and that concept of betrayal is very much in play here too - Buck betraying all the things he learnt in his coma by pursing someone who sees him for a specific and superficial thing.

‘if what matters to you most is how other people see you than you haven’t learned a damn thing’

but the math skills have worn off and Buck begins to see more clearly and so he transitions to blue for date three - when more of who Buck is is revealed and he is not seen for who he actually is. Its interesting that Buck wears blue, yellow ochre and green in his coma - with the green being most prominent - the mix of blue and yellow with the yellow being the next most prominent colour and now we have him transitioning to blue from the yellow - almost like the coma being green was also about the mixing of who buck was - mixing his uncertainty and vulnerability of the yellow with the trust loyalty and confidence of blue. The blue being the trust in himself, the loyalty to who he is as a person and the confidence that that person is enough. it feels like the colour transition through these three dates is Buck figuring things out and his water finding its level.

I answered an ask earlier in the week about what Eddie being in a blue henley meant and if it would be connected to the time we saw Buck wearing the same Henley in 2x01. I hedged my bets a little bit because we had zero context for the scene(s) the Henley would be appearing in but said I was inclined to come down on the side of it being more bout the fact it was blue than the connection to the scene from 2x01. It does feel good when I'm right and colour theory plays out for me! this Henley is very much connected to Eddie and family - you can read the answer to that ask here if you want a bit more detail, but essentially we don't see Eddie wearing blue all that often and when we do it has always been in connection with family moments be they with Shannon or with Buck or his wider family, and Chris is invariably involved. the shades of blue have varied, but the fact remains that Eddie wears blue in connection with key moments in his family life.

The fact that we have a questioning somewhat fragile and insecure Eddie in blue - choosing to try and put himself back out into the world - asking Bobby for advice - for an outside and honest perspective - someone who is Eddies mirror and someone who he is loyal to and trusts (more blue colour meaning ties) not only connects Eddie to Chimney, Buck and (to a lesser extent) Maddie - because Madney is being paralleled and juxtaposed with Buddie through this episode - through the colour blue, blue but it also ties him to family - especially the concept of building/ rebuilding family and that is something I love - for him and for me!

Thanks as always for reading it means a lot to me and I hope you found it interesting and that it was worth the wait - I’m off to spiral about the finale now!!!

As always, tag list below! Until the next episode! 💜💜💜

For Those Who Have None Chapter 1

Pairing: Fluffy Sephiroth (Pre-Nibelheim)/Domestic Darling (Reader)

Word Count: 1.3k

Chapter 1 of the Domestic AU mini-fic series. Set Late Crisis Core.

Coming to your apartment has never filled Sephiroth with such dread. As he enters, the scent of smoke invades his senses, unlike the usual lingering lavender scent expected in your home. He quickly realizes that your savory homemade cookies are burnt. You must be troubled as he is. There's no fire in the kitchen, thankfully, so he continues the journey towards his destination.

He has to be honest with himself. That fateful night when you two were entwined... In that moment, he was yearning for you during those long, agonizing days of separation. When you two finally reunited, he lost himself during the sex. And now, this situation is unfolding. You invited him over for dinner and to discuss what happened between you two that night. He becomes so lost in thought; he didn't notice the two plates of lasagna on the table as he walks by, heading towards your room.

You're still in the bathroom when he enters, so he leans against your dresser, his arms crossed as he waits. From the outside, he appeared to be his usual self: quiet and stoic. But beneath his facade, a storm of his greatest fears wages on. His slit eyes fixate on the mesmerizing dance of the weak flames in the fireplace near him. The fire crackles weakly, producing only a soft, melancholic sound echoing in the room. He almost wants to pray that this dreadful meeting was a misunderstanding on his end. But it's a foolish hope.

After what seems like eternity, you finally come out of the bathroom, your own gaze piercing through him.

"Did you enjoy the meal?" You mutter, hoping to get his attention.

"I-I... couldn't eat it. My apologies." He murmurs. You sigh at his response as you nervously rub your arm. You might as well cut to the chase.

"I'm pregnant," you say. You gather the strength to look directly into his eyes. But his gaze remains fixated on the fireplace. Don't be fooled. He heard you. And he wants to assure you, to declare his unwavering support for you and the life growing inside you, but his voice fails him. It's as if time has come to a stop, the world around him freezing in a haze of uncertainty. He never considered fatherhood, let alone be equipped for it. And the idea of raising a child in an environment woven by Shinra, a company built on deceit and darkness, is unthinkable. No doubt that they will raise his child to be a "hero". Their personal killing machine, like him, their father. And there's YOU, his precious darling. He can't lose you. He CAN'T. Not like how he lost his own mother during childbirth. His silver tresses sway gently, and his eyes slowly widen in recognition as they lock onto yours, now that you're standing in front of him. Your delicate hand slid across his warm cheek, providing a soothing touch amidst the storm raging within him. Perhaps there is solace in knowing that, at least for now, he still has you by his side.

"Sephiroth... Sephiroth! Please look at me." Your words shatter the silence, reaching deep into his dark heart as tears well up in his eyes.

"I know this is something neither of us was expecting," you continue, your tone dripping with a motherly reassurance. "But we can get through this. I know we can!" The intensity of your words causes his heart to race, his breath catching in his throat. He wants to believe you. He knows you well. You wouldn't lie to him intentionally. Right? But the doubts still linger, fueled by his painful memories of betrayal and lies. One of the many being his friends, who had once assured him, deserted him when he needed them the most. And there was his mother. He was once told she was alive and well, only to discover later that she had passed away after his birth. How can he be certain of your declaration?

All he wants is certainty. No more lies to manipulate him, to soothe him or to spare his feelings. He needs the undeniable truth to rescue him from sinking in this dark sea of illusions.

"Let's... Leave SOLDIER together. We can start a new life together somewhere. Anywhere but here!" You say. He senses your genuine resolve, but is it enough? Where would you two even go? His visage is plastered over every SOLDIER poster and Shinra propaganda out there. He would be recognized instantly.

"I suppose we can make leave after the Nibelheim mission," he mutters under his breath, already mentally preparing for the journey ahead. You two will probably face unsavory individuals in Nibelheim. And despite the low odds of your proposal, he will still go with you, no matter what. Because when others came and go, you stayed with him. So, he will follow you to the ends of the world, unwilling to let even the slightest chance of his last connection slip away. Your fingers instinctively entwine with his gloved hand as you shake your head.

"No longer do we belong to Shinra, my love," you whisper, your voice filling with hope. "We don't have to see that mission through. The sooner we leave, the better."

"There is nowhere we can go. Nowhere to belong..." he says. Uncertainty flickers across his face.

"I promise you, I'll find out. We'll find a place where we can be free, where our love, and our family, can flourish without fear! The price of freedom may be steep... but it's a cost we can endure!" You say. As the meaning behind your words sinks in, Sephiroth's calm facade shatters. He tightly embraces your delicate frame, pressing it against his towering, sinewy build. Tears cascade down his cheeks as he buries his face in your neck. How much longer must you TWO endure this anguish? Why must you suffer more just to free yourselves in this dark world?"

You coo softly into his ear, your smooth voice intertwining with the soothing touch of your fingers going through his silky sliver hair. The Nibelheim Mission is just days away, and you're unsure about your own plan, but you know that staying in your current situation is the worst thing to do for your unborn child, and for Sephiroth. You must act now. He lifts his head from the nape of your neck, now resting it on your shoulder. His gaze shifts towards the crackling fireplace behind you, where the once weak embers now blaze with a newfound strength.

"Lay down with me," you whisper softly. He obeys without a word, closing his weary eyes as you begin to undress him.

First, you remove his scratched shoulder pauldrons, freeing him from their burden. Next, you gently take off his trench coat, the raspy worn fabric resonating in your ears as you unzip it. You then carefully remove his leather gloves. You can't help but briefly massage his callused hands as you observe the fine muscles of them, and the marks of many battles on the skin.

Lastly, you carefully undo his chest straps, your fingertips gliding over the barely visible red marks etched onto the skin. The straps must have been tighter than he realized, no doubt a result of the stress he was under. His exhaustion becomes apparent to you as you look at him once more. It's etched into the dark bags underneath his eyes and his complexion, beginning to look patchy. After you finish preparing him for bed, you give him a pat on the head, another soothing touch that weakens the storm within him.

You then guide him towards your bed, sinking into the soft satin sheets as you both recline. His strong arms wrap around you again, as he unleashes his sobs.

Closing your eyes, you make a silent vow, promising to always be the refuge Sephiroth needs as you cradle his head. In these dark times, he will rely on you more than ever. But you're ready. You will become his guiding hope. Tomorrow shall mark the start of your newly intertwined destinies.

Prelude smut fic for those interested here.

The purpose of this mini fic series is for me to challenge myself by expanding on an existing plot line and maintaining consistency throughout. If I am satisfied with the results of this, I'll consider creating fic series for the Dissidia and HoS AUs!

I was quite picky when writing and polishing this chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Thanks @sephys-paradise for this series title suggestion~!
