oooh 👀 mayhaps guide or wound for adam/aj

How 'bout both? with an added [11. laying their hand on the other’s neck] from touch prompts for @haledamage (post-book 3, and I'm trying not to feel guilty it took me like 8 months to fill😅) ---

"You are injured."

"So're you." It came out reflexively, even if the sharp red gash was already starting to close by the time she laid a hand on his neck to frame to wound so she could examine it. "Comes with the job, yeah?"

Adam pulled a slow breath and they both ignored the tremor when he exhaled it. "You will not heal as I do, Abigail." He swallowed hard, jaw tight on more he refused to say, and gently grasped her wrist to move her hand from his neck. His thumb made a light circle over her pulse point--thrumming madly, she was sure--before he shifted his grip to lead her a short way to the side.

AJ followed readily once she picked out his goal--a sawn off stump large, flat, and clean enough for them to sit on. "I'm still gonna worry when y' get hurt, Adam." She missed the warmth of his hand when he let go, bit her lip as if that could hide it. "Call it human nature."

His lips twitched in a maybe-almost-smile. "I feel it is more your nature than a general human state." He hesitated, something flickering in the green of his eyes, then held out a hand. "Let me see."

It was a request more than an order, but AJ made no protest as she held out her arm for him to examine.

Adam's grip was, once again, gentle as he cradled her wrist, gaze and thumb tracing the angry red line that cut from the outside of her forearm around to the inside, just below her wrist. It was barely more than a deep scratch, small potatoes next to most of what she'd weathered, but it was bleeding. Adam pulled a small case from one pocket on his cargo trousers and opted to balance it on his knee as he opened it rather than trust the cleanliness of the stump.

AJ arched a curious brow even as they both wrinkled their noses at the biting scent of alcohol when he tore open one of the small packets within. She had to grit her teeth against the sting of the sterilizing cloth, even with the care Adam gave cleaning the cut.

She wasn't sure if it was the sting or his proximity, laser-focused on tending to her, that had her pulse up.

She studied him in silence as he worked, thoughts and emotions too much a tangle to settle on a topic for small talk. He doesn't care for it anyway. The cut on his neck was completely healed now, drying blood the only evidence it had been there at all.

It wasn't a surprise when Adam ascertained the angle and length of her injury was such adhesive bandages wouldn't cover it well and withdrew the small roll of gauze to wrap it. He finished swiftly, gentle as his touch remained, and rubbed his thumb over the wrapping, as if he wished to transfer some of his healing ability to her through touch alone.

"That should be sufficient until we return to the Warehouse and a doctor can tend it properly," he said abruptly, shaking his head as if to clear some reverie he didn't want. He snapped the case closed and shoved it back in his pocket.

AJ rested a hand on his arm before he could stand and felt him tense. "Thank you, Adam," she said softly. "It hope it wasn't... too much."

He shook his head, scanning the surroundings--"for threats" he'd say if she brought it up--rather than meet her eye. "It... was not more than I could endure. Though I appreciate your concern." Something gentled about his posture. "And it should not surprise me from you."

Her heart fluttered at the softness to his voice. "I wouldn't want it t' be a struggle when you're helpin' me, yeah?"

"It is not," Adam said, finally turning to look at her. His gaze was so sincere it made her chest go tight. "And even if it is... it's worth it."

Oh. She couldn't get even the single syllable our her dry throat. This is really counterproductive to the 'not letting me fall in love with you' thing. She swallowed, lightly running her fingers over where his injury had been. "Thank you," she repeated, and leaned in to kiss his cheek as she let her hand drop.

"Abigail..." He caught her hand for a moment before letting it fall. "You are welcome." He pushed to his feet. "We should continue on. The sooner we finish and get back, the sooner you can have that properly treated."

With a deep breath in a futile attempt to calm herself, AJ also stood. She only made it a few steps in silence before curiosity got the better of her. "I did have a wonder, Adam..."

"Which is?"

She curled a loose lock of hair around her finger and tugged on it. "If all of ya heal fast enough t' not need it, why're ya carryin' a first aid kit?"

Adam stopped, turned to face her. "It is always wise to be prepared. And I look out for my agents." He reached out, thumb ghosting along her jaw, his eyes determined and so, so sad it made her want to weep. "Whatever form that takes."

I will not allow you to fall in love with me.

He pivoted to resume their route and it took several long moments before AJ could breathe through the heartache of his words and unstick her feet to follow. It was, she supposed, human nature to want what you couldn't have.

What if, in this one thing, I don't want lookin' after?

What if we don't break?

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

◉ Sinopsis; your partners give you a massage when you flop onto the couch

◉ feat; Fizzmodeus x reader

___˙•˚∘✮🌙ᯓ🪐˙•˚∘___

It's one of those days where you just need to collapse somewhere comfortable and block out the whole world. So that's what you do. After walking through the front door to Asmodeus' home (though it's more accurate to call it a palace), you beeline to the couch, dropping your bag and kicking off your shoes on the way. You throw yourself onto the couch, the soft cushions catching your fall. The fabric is cool against your face, and the couch itself is so large, that it's practically a bed- perfect to spread out on. It's not too long after when Fizzarolli and Asmodeus get back from Ozzie's club. By this time though, you're half asleep, sprawled out on the couch. The two stop for a moment, worried something bad has happened, but they quickly realize you're just exhausted. Luckily for you, they know the perfect remedy to a long, painstaking day- massages! Laughter echoes vaguely through your tired brain, and you can just barely register the way the cushions give- a sign Asmodeus and Fizz have joined you. The next thing you notice is a pair of hands working the knots in your back and shoulders. Fizzarolli straddles your legs, working intently on relieving the stress in your back. Behind him, Asmodeus sits criss-cross, focusing on Fizz's shoulders. You're too tired to get up, but the tired, grateful glance you cast Fizz and Ozzie is more than enough for them to know how much this is helping. You may have been half-asleep before, but now with the tension slowly easing out of your shoulders and the soft noise of Fizz and Asmodeus' voices makes it damn near impossible to fight the powerful force known as sleep. Soon enough, your conscious is drifting elsewhere, while Fizzarolli and Asmodeus wish you sweet dreams.

___‎˙•˚∘✮ 🔭๋࣭ᯓ🌙˙•˚∘___

Something about a whumpee experiencing a speech shutdown after their rescue from whatever trauma. Maybe they were gagged for almost their entire captivity, maybe they were physically punished for speaking/saying the wrong thing, whatever.

And Caretaker can’t get them to open up about what happened, but they can see the effects (scars, injuries, changes in whumpee’s behavior), so all they can do is be there for them. Or maybe there isn’t a caretaker, and it’s just whumpee on their own having to deal with their trauma and being unable to open up about it to anyone.

DpxDc Prompt I may not take anywhere:

Danny gets yeeted, reincarnated, or somehow flees to the DC Universe. Unfortunately, he can only use ghost speak in this world due to its slightly different 'rules' on how ghosts form.

He can still understand everyone, of course, maybe even has a little boost and can understand all spoken languages. But how is he supposed to communicate he isnt a threat? Every time he tries to write, it comes out as ghostly scribbles (he never did have great handwriting, but come on)

Danny rolled his eyes as the speedster brought the ouiji board to the table, until the planchette started moving, that is.

caregivers, family, agencies, teachers, doctors, employers, program directors, admissions, government people

whether actual can or cannot do not matter if someone decide i cannot do or will not succeed (even if overqualify) or too difficult accommodate

Trying

It takes time, just like Draco promised, and it’s not easy, as he’s warned. Harry takes a course in the local community centre, classes every Tuesday and Thursday, six o’clock. The teacher is at least a head taller than him, and language seems to flow from her hands like magic, like the easiest thing in the world. Harry can’t wait to have a conversation with Draco like that. He’s aware he may never get this good, but it’s nice to imagine.

Learning BSL is nothing like learning French or Latin. Harry kind of likes that. He likes the signs that seem obvious, the ones that paint a picture of what they mean. He likes stating the topic in the beginning, likes the order of things being different. And he likes the way Draco looks when Harry shows him what he’s learned, the way his eyes open all big when Harry uses it to ask him what he wants for tea. Likes that he’s doing something, that it feels like he’s trying. Turns out it’s good to try.  

Level one is nice, but level two is better. One of his classmates is a lady named Rhiannon (“Fleetwood Mac, honey, what can you do”), who’s got a deaf son. She’s also got this laughter that rolls, all the way from her Adam’s apple to her shoulders to her belly, and it’s the best when he makes her laugh. They go for coffee every Tuesday after class (decaf for her, it’s past eight, baby!), and Draco sometimes joins if he gets out of work on time. Rhiannon adores him. She keeps badgering Harry every time they partner up for practice. Tell him already, sweet idiot.

Sometimes a few of the others come too. Brian, who teaches p1, and Moe, who makes the best petticoat shortbread, and Nikki, who signs in a Cardiff dialect, and Heather and Lucas and Tanya. They’re a good group. Harry’s sort of forgot you can do that, make friends simply by being at the same place at the same time. It starts awkward, but in a nice sort of way, and then in level three it’s just nice. They all stay, which is a bit unusual, they’re told. Harry likes it.

They have a Christmas night out early December. It’s at this tiny pub Rhiannon’s managed to drag them to, where all the cocktails have the funniest names and the beers are all Czech. It’s fucking fantastic. He even manages to convince Draco to stop by after his shift. Lucas and Moe dance, Tanya keeps getting shots for everybody, Nikki and Brian demolish Harry’s crisps so he buys them five more packets. Their teacher comes too, halfway through the night, and she’s written cards for everyone and shyly distributes them one at a time. His says You’re doing so well, Harry, and it makes him tear up a little bit, unreasonably so. Makes him feel—small and also, warm. In the dim pub, Draco’s smile is the most brilliant thing he’s ever seen.

It’s a lovely night. Everyone gets smashed and Draco says they’re all slurring with their hands and it makes them laugh so hard, so so hard, like it’s the funniest thing in the world, like they’re all so alive it’s electric and everything and anything is possible.

Draco takes him home. Helps him change into his pyjamas. Maybe he even strokes Harry’s hair once or twice before putting him to bed, with that smile, and the way his eyes sometimes sparkle. Spark.

Good night? He signs, eyebrows raised. 

The best. Because you were there, he doesn’t seem to be able to say. Not with his words and not with his hands.

Sleep. You’re tired.

But he doesn’t want to close his eyes. Stay?

Draco gives him a questioning look, like Harry’s missigned, said the wrong thing.

Stay with me tonight?

He tilts his head to the side. His hair’s loose, falling into his eyes, has to be brushed back by insistent fingers. Harry wants to kiss them. He must really be quite drunk, because he thinks he’s leaning forward to try it.

Please.

Draco sucks in his lower lip, but then he’s nodding, and this writhing thing in the pit of Harry’s stomach settles. He climbs into bed with Harry, fully dressed. Not smiling anymore. Harry’s a bit too drunk and too excited to make much sense of anything. All he can concentrate on is Draco, here, warm and in his bed and warm and wonderful. He tosses and turns until he finds a comfortable way to lie, with his hand brushing Draco’s, and then he’s asleep before he knows it.

Sometimes he thinks he’s dreaming in sign.

He wakes up with a headache and completely parched, slightly stricken to see Draco lying next to him. Has to think really hard before he remembers, and the way his whole brain’s thumping inside his skull isn’t helpful. The sight makes his heart flutter, bird against its cage bars: Draco’s on his back, arms at his sides, and his face is… entirely, completely soft.

Harry’s stomach gives a frightening lurch. He slides out of the covers as quietly as possible, grabs the miraculous glass of water someone’s left on the bedside table. Takes careful, measured sips, until his vision isn’t swimming, until his heart climbs back down from his throat. He feels like shit.

He can’t stop smiling.
