Hi ressy! I have a ficlet prompt for you <3 I'd love to read a bit about my OT3 Kai/Takao/Hiromi hanging out having ice cream (I headcanon ice cream to be the one thing that gets Kai to do almost *anything*). Takao and Kai always argue about the favorite flavor, while Hiromi just chuckles and goes for something disgusting (to both of them - neither like fruity flavors) to spite them both.

This is my last ask aaahhh so I’ve been thinking about it ALL DAY. Disclaimer: I have never shipped an OT3 but like lowkey highkey I’m living for this one? I sorta changed the prompt juuusstt a bit because my creativity got away from me, i added in some RESSYFAERIE FLARE so I hope I didn’t mess with your head cannons too much! Then it got a little bit… Uh-*sexy* so I’m plopping it into a read more. Anything in * are Hilary’s thoughts! Sorry I’m a ho-

The best time of the week was Friday.

Friday was ice cream day. Kai would meet Tyson and Hilary at the dojo taking a break from his studies. They would walk to the shop down the street and get their favourite flavours.

Would Kai ever admit how much he liked ice cream? No, but they knew. They knew him better than anyone.

They flooded the shop with their glowing demeanour, all smiling and happy to see each other after the long week apart. They stood back and studied the menu board.

Hilary wondered why they always checked the menu, they got the same thing every time. She generally stuck to fruity flavours as much as she loved chocolate. The boys didn’t like fruity flavours so it kept them from eating hers, she used this tactic for other things too, it saved her from Tyson stealing her food many times.

Tyson got vanilla like always, *just like his personality* Hilary thought.

He continued outside with his cone mentioning as he passed ‘it’s a bit busy in here!’.

Hilary looked at the menu, she wasn’t feeling very fruity today. She turned her head to Kai. He looked good, just got off of his last university class, he looked tired, but attractive.

“You look good today.” She tried to hide a smile when she complimented him.

“Thanks, you too.” He smiled on purpose, “You go first.” He gestured in front of him.

Hilary lightly brushed his hand with hers as a way of saying thanks, he liked little touches like that.

When she looked over the flavours she made a quick decision.

“Can I get the rocky road please?”

*Kai’s favourite- I shared some with him last week and I really liked it, and you know what? I deserve it.*

She got hers in a small cup with a spoon, she didn’t like cones that much, and neither did Kai; Tyson was the odd one out, always getting a cone and munching it down loudly.

Hilary got hers and left to meet Tyson outside, grinning at Kai as she left.

Kai was next and asked the worker for his favourite: rocky road.

“Oh I’m sorry! That was the last bit we had-”

“Oh different!” Tyson pointed out as soon as he saw the chocolate in the cup.

“Yeah! I really like chocolate actually, so I decided to change it up a bit.”

“Can I have some?” He moved his face closer to hers trying to sneak a bit off the small spoon in her hand.

“No! Back off you have your own!” She giggled playfully trying to push him away with her shoulder.

She had eaten so fast by the time Kai emerged from the shop she was almost finished.

Tyson frowned sensing the disappointed emotion in Kai.

“What the hell is that?” Tyson pointed to his cup with purple ice cream.

“Blackberry.”

“Yuck! I hate blackberry.” Tyson stuck his tongue out.

Kai shrugged and nodded towards the dojo.

“Should we head back?”

Tyson nodded and they walked as a duo with Hilary following behind, she stared into the bottom of the paper cup.

She had one small bite of ice cream left.

*I really want to eat it- But I should give it to Kai- but he has it every week!*

They got back to the dojo and the last bit was almost melted. They sat on the edge of the hardwood looking over the clearing. The pond was glistening in the hot summer weather.

She decided Kai wouldn’t want it anyways since it was melted, and shoved the rest on the tiny spoon and ate it. She kept the spoon in her mouth absorbing the last of the flavour and noticed both boys staring at her.

Tyson widened his eyes, “I can’t believe you stole Kai’s ice cream.”

She took the spoon out of her mouth, “I didn’t steal it! I didn’t know it was the last one!”

Tyson gave Kai a look, Kai grinned back flirtatiously, he directed his attention back to Hilary, “No you definitely stole my ice cream.” He sounded serious, but his face showed a silly expression.

“I didn’t steal it!” She whined.

“You didn’t even give him any either, what a bad girlfriend.” Tyson teased and licked some of the vanilla of his cone.

Kai clicked his tongue while judging her silently.

“Fine! I’ll buy you more tomorrow.” Hilary slammed the empty paper cup and spoon beside her on the hardwood floor.

“Now she’s grumpy- What are we going to do about her Kai?” Tyson laughed off the slight threat.

“Well, we definitely can’t give her too much attention.” Kai looked away from her off into the distance in the complete opposite direction.

She hung her jaw in disbelief.

“I agree.” Tyson copied Kai’s glance.

“H- Hey!” Hilary complained, not that she wanted to be the center of attention, she just didn’t want to be ignored.

“Hey Kai, want some of my ice cream?” Tyson pointed the cone in his direction.

“Of course.” Kai grinned and locked eyes with Hilary.

He started from the bottom and licked all the way to the top still keeping eye contact.

Hilary’s jaw hung lower, and she blushed a bit.

“Hey there’s some on your lip Kai-” Tyson poked Kai’s cheek with his finger.

“Is there? Can you get it?”

Tyson giggled, “sure.” He gently kissed him, cleaning his face up perfectly.

Kai kept his eyes locked on Hilary, relishing in her jealousy.

When they first started doing- Whatever it was they were doing, they didn’t really have a label yet- Hilary had predicted many things, some were true and some were very, very wrong. One of the things she assumed was that Tyson would be the tease, and he was, but she wasn’t prepared for Kai.

Kai was the real tease in this relationship, and she loved it.

Tyson went back to licking his ice cream, and Kai- like always, upped his game.

He started licking it too, shooting side glances to Hilary, he stopped briefly to rub his forehead on Tyson’s.

“It’s a shame we're ostracizing Hilary, she would love this.” Kai’s eyes were slightly squinted as he gifted her another one of his looks.

Hilary pouted, giving him an angry glare.

“She stole your dessert, this is a punishment.”

“Such a shame, she’s usually-”

“Our dessert.” Tyson pointed out nonchalantly.

“You guys are driving me crazy!” Hilary pushed herself off the hardwood floor and launched herself towards them.

Kai tried to push her back and Tyson angled himself away trying desperately to protect his precious ice cream.

“Hey, hey! Guys watch my ice cream!” He groaned when Kai and Hilary fell in a pile behind him.

Kai had trapped Hilary with her back on the floor, he loomed over her, she blushed at the familiar sight.

“I’m sorry-” She apologized without making eye contact.

“It’s okay. I’m not really angry.” Kai leaned a bit closer.

“What’s going on here?” Tyson tried to sandwich himself between them but only managed to lay on his side closer to Hilary.

“You should get more flavours other than fruit- if you want.” Kai mentioned it while checking out Tyson beside her.

“Yeah Hilary, you can get chocolate flavours. It’s all ice cream.” Tyson brushed back her hair gently.

Hilary giggled, “I guess you’re right. I really like the chocolate ones-”

“What flavour was it again Kai? Chocolate…”

Kai thought for a moment.

Kai expertly let his body fall and kissed Hilary.

Kai grinned, admiring her blushing face.

“Rocky road.”

Part II. Now that I'm thinking about it, that would also work within your OT3 if you only want to write Garcyatt(?), it can be even more angsty, same scenario but Lucy is now with both of them because if Lucy wants something she should definitely get it and in his mind, Lucy and Wyatt are in love and he's the spare who's good for some amazing sex but not much more, lots of crazy hot porn and lots of angst until cue happy ending? Any chance of inspiration will hit you? :)

Anon you best thank your lucky stars that @captainofthefallen has been shooting angst at me all day because I’m filling your second suggestion as well SO THAT SHE. CAN. SUFFER. AS I. HAVE. SUFFERED.

(You’re welcooooooome)

Part One AKA the strictly-Garcy version can be found here. This is the Garcyatt version (under the cut).

For the record.

If there was a record.

But for that record, if it existed: the only reason that he had agreed to it was because Lucy had made Wyatt ask him.

If Lucy had asked him, he would have said no, because like hell was he going to get into the middle of Wyatt reluctantly agreeing to something just to make Lucy happy.

But Wyatt had asked him.

Flynn had… not been unaware, that Lucy was attracted to him. He’d even thought, right in the wake of Rufus’s death, that he might have a chance with her.

But then the whole traveling on your own timeline future selves Save Rufus thing had happened and in the wake of it, somehow, Lucy and Wyatt had…

Not gotten together. Not exactly. But they’d patched things up. Become friends again.

‘Friends’ in the sense that the sexual tension could be cut into slices and served as dessert.

He wanted to be angrier about it, but it was a little difficult when Wyatt (apparently verbally bitchslapped by his older self, according to Lucy who’d been there to see it and had called it ‘a masterpiece’) shuffled to him, looking like a kicked puppy, and had apologized for being an asshole. And for keeping his suspicions about Jess to himself. And about not trusting Flynn. And about…

It was a long apology, okay?

After that, Wyatt had started… coming to him. For advice or just to talk. And he’d started to get a soft spot for the guy.

But he really hadn’t expected Wyatt to come up to him one night, say, “hey can we talk?” and then say, “hey, so Lucy and I were talking and I was–we were–hoping you might, um, beinterestedinathreesome.”

“…I’m gonna need you to say that one more time, Wyatt. While breathing.”

“Ah. We were, uh, I mean, you know how I said… that, um, sometimes, I thought I might… be bi?”

“That was a three hour long conversation so yes I remember.”

“Right. So. Lucy and I talked about. That. And we talked about–uh. If you’d. Because you’re. Yeah. So we were hoping you’d… join us?”

Flynn had honestly thought it was a prank for a good ten seconds before he realized that Wyatt looked so terrified he might run and lock himself in the bathroom for the next month.

So yeah, he’d said yes. Because Wyatt had asked him, despite how hard it must have been, and because lurking underneath the fear had been a heartbreaking look of hope, and because he was in love with Lucy, and because Wyatt was damn easy on the eyes, and because Garcia Flynn really needed to change his middle name to ‘masochist’.

And hey, the sex was good.

Not that he’d expected anything less. Of course they had to work Wyatt up to some things. But Lucy was bossy and loud and greedy and perfect and he loved the way she crawled into his arms and ordered him around and how she would literally yank him and Wyatt on either side of her so that she was perfectly sandwiched in between them to hog all the warmth. And Wyatt was shy and sweet and soft and surprisingly sly and pushy when he wanted to be and he shivered whenever Flynn touched him and would put his head in Flynn’s lap afterwards so Flynn would pet his hair.

And the thing was, Flynn knew where his strengths were. Flirting? Yeah, no. Lorena had once been asked if Flynn was good at flirting and she’d laughed so hard she’d fallen off her chair. Sex, though, sex he could do, because bodies were bodies and it was like any other physical task he’d gotten good at over the years.

He’d always been best when no words were involved.

So he understood why they kept him around. Kept inviting him into their bed.

But God, he’d have to be blind to see the way that Lucy and Wyatt looked at each other. The sappy, besotted look that Wyatt would give Lucy whenever she showed off her history knowledge. The pleased, proud look that Lucy would give to Wyatt when he thought of a clever way to get them out of a bind.

It was fine, he told himself. They’d never stopped being in love with each other. He’d always known this was coming.

And honestly, it was all his fault. What sort of idiot fell in love with not one but two people who were perfectly happy without him? Two people to whom he was… extra? A fun bonus?

It was only a matter of time until they got tired of him. Until they were so wrapped up in each other that they didn’t need him or want him anymore. He tried to brace himself for when that time came, although he knew that no matter what, it would hurt.

He was lounging on the couch, idly flipping through some files, when Lucy crawled into his lap.

He obligingly set the files aside. “Where’s Wyatt?”

“In the shower, shh.” She pecked him on the cheek. “We need to think of something for his birthday.”

“His birthday?”

“Yeah, I was thinking a joint boyfriend-girlfriend present.”

Flynn’s heart stopped.

Lucy saw his face. “…unless you already had a present for him?”

“Sorry. Just.” It felt like his brain was now a computer blue screen. “Boyfriend-girlfriend?”

“I don’t know what else you’d call a polyamorous joint present. Partner-present?”

“Polyamorous.”

“As in dating more than one person at a time? Garcia? Did you hit your head?”

“Who hit who’s head?” Wyatt asked, walking in, still damp from the shower and grimacing as he knocked some water out of his ear. Thirty four years old and the idiot couldn’t dry himself off to save his life, Flynn thought fondly.

Lucy jumped in surprise. “Garcia seems to have forgotten how the English language works.”

“He knew enough Italian to save our asses last mission so I think he gets a free pass.” Wyatt leaned over the back of the couch and Flynn kissed him automatically, growling a little when Wyatt nipped at him before standing up and going over to the fridge.

“So just to be clear,” Flynn said carefully. “You and Wyatt and I are all dating.”

“No,” Lucy replied. “We’re sleeping with you and Wyatt just stole your shirt and I’m sitting in your lap because we really respect our relationship as coworkers.”

Flynn looked up. Huh. That was his shirt Wyatt was wearing.

“Why?” Lucy asked, tilting her head quizzically. “Everything okay?”

For the first time in months, it felt like he could breathe properly. “Everything is perfect.”

Lucy lay down on top of him so that her head was on his chest, using him as a massive pillow. “Good. Wyatt, bring us some water?”

“Work work work, that’s all I’m good for around here,” Wyatt fake-grumbled, but he brought them water when he came over to join them, poking until Flynn and Lucy rearranged themselves so there was enough room for Wyatt to curl into Flynn’s side.

They’d done this several times before, just cuddled on the couch, shooting the breeze or watching a movie or just breathing together. Oh, Flynn thought. Oh.

So, for the record.

Yes, he was an idiot.

(But he was their idiot so really what did it matter?)

Okay, for the Halloween promps I got Stranger Things with the OT3, post season 2 and Jonathon and Nancy save Steve (maybe that's how they realize they care for Steve) from some creepy creature.

AAAAND THIS GOT LONG CONGRATS ANON :D it’s going on ao3 later but for now I don’t have the presence of mind u___u

Three months, Jonathan thinks. Three damned months.

At least before the last round they had a year of relative quiet, and El hadn’t closed the gate yet, so there was some kind of explanation.

Now –

Now he hopes that something didn’t get called back to the Upside Down when she closed it and that this a one-off thing, he really does, because he doesn’t know if he has it in him to go through another round of monster hunting, but that’s not what he’s worried about right now.

Right now –

“Steve!” He calls out for the umpteenth time in the last half hour.

No answer. Same as before.

Shit, shit, shit.

He grabs his brother’s walkie and presses the button that should connect him to Mike’s, which is currently in Nancy’s hands.

“Nancy? Anything?”

“No,” she replied, sounding wrecked.

“Fuck. Okay, change of plans. The parking lot is clear, yes?”

“Yes. He’s definitely not here.”

Fuck.

“We gotta go to the base. I’ll meet you at the gate,” he says.

Fuck.

–

Thing is: Jonathan might’ve gone looking for Steve after the snow ball, when he came back to pick Dustin up. They hadn’t talked for a month, and he had felt like utter shit whenever he thought about the situation, because after Will got his bearings back and he could focus on things that weren’t his brother’s well-being and Nancy, he had noticed that Steve didn’t seem to hang out with his old pals anymore, or with anyone – most people seem to have moved onto that Hargrove asshole, who on his side does steer clear from Steve. Jonathan got Lucas to share what exactly happened and he’s honestly glad Hargrove got the memo, because like hell he wants him around his brother and his friends anyways, but still –

He felt like shit about it, honestly, especially because it’s not as if he and Steve talked about it. And it’s not like he stole the man’s girlfriend or whatever because he didn’t do anything aimed at it and he hadn’t even thought Nancy might ever want him back until their not so favorite conspiracy theorist pointed it out, but still, it’s obvious that Steve is still carrying a torch and Jonathan knows how that feels even too well.

Never mind that somehow after his first stint apparently Steve decided that hanging out with the kids wasn’t such a hardship and so he’s been around the house a few times – shit, now he plays D&D with them, can you believe that – and it had been awkward, and –

Jonathan went looking for him.

“Shouldn’t you and Nance…” Steve had started, obviously not quite knowing how to finish that sentence.

“We’re volunteering. And she’s dancing with your protégé, for that matter.”

“Wait, with Dustin?”

“Yeah. I think every other guy in the room is being envious as hell. Anyway – listen, I just – I don’t even know how to say it or what I should say, but –”

“Jonathan, I already told Nance that it was okay. I know. And I know you didn’t exactly do anything to come in between the two of us. It didn’t work out.”

“Fine, but I know it sucks, and just – I’m sorry that it does. And since you’ve been around and I have a feeling you will for a while, I don’t want things to be weird, okay?”

Steve had looked at him. “As in?”

“I don’t even know. But I don’t want to purposefully avoid you or shit like that, if you’re willing to do the same. Fuck, I’m terrible at this.”

“Byers, if you said you wanted us to be friendly if not friends you could’ve said from the beginning,” Steve had snorted, and Jonathan had laughed back because suddenly it wasn’t so awkward anymore.

So he did stop purposefully avoiding Steve whenever he dropped Will home or was around. Steve had sometimes left the kids to their own shit and come to his room so he could talk with someone who wasn’t fucking thirteen. They were friendly.

Nancy had been happy about it – actually, Jonathan has a feeling she also felt shitty for how the whole thing had resolved itself, and that was why she was glad that at least the two of them were on speaking terms.

Hell, Jonathan had thought, maybe one of these days they might do something together just to see if they got over the awkward phase.

He had thought.

Then two hours ago Will had barged into his room yelling that they had a code red on their hands.

–

Or: apparently Steve had been bringing them all back from the arcade, bar Will, because Will wasn’t feeling that great and had decided to stay in, and something happened in the damned woods, Jonathan hadn’t quite grasped what, but the gist was that some other Upside Down monster almost drove them off the road and it was a good thing that Steve kept the bat in the trunk always these days because he fought the thing off the rear window of his car, except that then Steve said he was going to check around in case something else was around and he didn’t come back.

Or something.

Anyway, Max drove to Dustin’s house where Dustin called Will who got Jonathan, and then they warned Nancy as well – Jonathan picked her up quickly, she insisted to come, they got the kids to tell them where the hell the entire thing went down, and Jonathan has no clue of where they are now but he has a feeling they’re calling Hopper so he can send his daughter to help out, which would probably be great given that Jonathan has checked the entire darned wood and found nothing, same as Nancy in the parking lot.

Shit, Jonathan thinks, again, and then heads for the base.

–

Nancy’s waiting for him already – she looks worried as hell, same as he feels, truth to be told.

“Nothing at all?” She asks him.

“Zero,” he confirms. “I imagine that there’s no trace of –”

“The opening in the parking lot? No,” Nancy says, “none at all.”

They look at the base. In theory it should be deserted, the military and the rest of the crowd left a long time ago and everything should be shut down, but –

“Fuck,” Jonathan says, hurrying towards the gate. It’s open.

“Should it be?” Nancy asks, her hands tightening around her rifle. Jonathan has no idea how her parents don’t know she kept it, but he won’t ask.

“No,” he says, “in theory they locked everything. Let’s take a look.”

He looks down at the ground. There are traces of something slimy leading towards the main building.

“Well,” he says, “whatever the hell this is, it’s definitely there. Maybe it knew it was where they opened the gate the first time?”

“Maybe,” Nancy agrees. “That’s weird though. I mean, have you ever seen one of those demi – no, dema –”

“Demogorgons,” Jonathan supplies as they move forward.

“Right. Demogorgons. Have you ever seen any not killing whatever they caught at once?”

“No,” Jonathan agrees, “but then again, have you seen blood around here or in the parking lot or anywhere near the place where they stopped?”

“That’s true,” Nancy says. “Well, we’ll find out soon. Fuck, I hope he’s all right.”

“Me, too,” Jonathan agrees at once, because shit, after the year Steve’s just had he can’t fucking die now, especially not when Jonathan is sure they were sort of becoming friends and when he was working on college applications or so Jonathan imagined from seeing him hunched over assignments in the library, not when Dustin has already planned his graduation party and everyone but Steve knows that –

Fuck.

Never mind that the last time he asked Steve if his parents didn’t mind him being out of the house that much or doing his homework at Dustin’s or wherever Steve had just shrugged and said they really didn’t notice.

Sometimes Jonathan thinks of how ironic it is in the great scheme of things that his mom is about the only one in between her, Steve’s and Nancy’s who’d actually notice he’s gone, but it’s not the time to go there.

They reach the entrance.

It’s open.

There’s a lot more slime on the ground, and actually –

“Wait,” Jonathan says, reaching out towards something white that was sticking to the wall.

“The hell?”

“What’s that?”

“Spider’s web,” he says, throwing it back on the ground. “Don’t touch it, it’s fucking disgusting. Well, I guess something is definitely around.”

Good thing she has the gun because he fucking has nothing on his hands, damn –

Shit. That’d be Steve’s baseball bat in the corner of the room, isn’t it?

“Wait, I’m gonna get that. If anything, he’ll want it back.”

“If he’s alive,” Nancy says, sounding pained.

“Come on, there isn’t a drop of blood around. Shouldn’t there be?”

“That’s – that’s a point. All right. Let’s follow the slime, I guess.”

They do, as silently as they can – the emergency lights were on just in the entrance, so now they’re pretty much without light that’s not coming in from the windows. Too bad that the slime leads downstairs.

“Well, shit,” Nancy says.

“Wait, I’ve got a lighter,” Jonathan says. He always has one with just in case, especially after he learned how Steve and the kids fought off those monsters in the Upside Down the last time. He pushes the button – there’s slime all over the stairs.

They walk down, slow, because if one of them breaks their neck they’re done, and then they hear some seriously disturbing sound coming from the hallway on their left the moment they reach the first floor underground.

“What is that even?” Nancy whispers.

“No clue,” Jonathan replies. It’s like a hiss, but – not quite? Shit, he has no fucking idea. He grasps the bat tighter and they head for the hallway. He can’t see much in the darkness with just that one small light bar where he’s putting his feet, but the noise definitely comes from the last room on the left.

He cautiously moves behind the door and raises the lighter.

And –

“Is that fucking Shelob,” he hisses, at the same time as Nancy says, “What is that thing.”

“Shelob?” Nancy whispers.

“Hugeass spider. Lord of the Rings. Captures people to keep them as a food reserve,” Jonathan hisses back, looking at the disgusting, slimy gray spider that’s about as tall as he and Nancy put together and which is definitely wrapping something into a cocoon of white, equally slimy web.

“Sounds about right,” Nancy replies. “You think he’s –”

“Inside… the thing? Yeah. Has to be. Also, at least it’s just one fucking spider.”

Imagine if it had been more.

Jonathan doesn’t even let himself consider the option.

At least, it doesn’t seem like Shelob here has very good hearing, nor smell, because it hasn’t heard them for now.

“Right,” Nancy says, “I think – one of us distracts it and the other goes for the cocoon?”

“One of us kills it. I doubt he’s going to be able to move if he’s inside that thing.”

“I can shoot it, but if it’s anywhere like –”

“No, you’ve gotta set that on fire. I mean, it’s slimy. If it doesn’t work, I guess you can shoot it and I can take it from the back.”

“Good enough. You think you can use that to rip the web?”

“I should hope. It has nails. Okay, now you grab that lighter and just – I’ll get inside first.”

“Okay. Okay, go.”

He holds on to the bat – shit, he had made it himself but honest, he’d be more than glad to give it back to Steve if he had the chance now, and he walks inside the room, sticking to the left side of the wall, not seeing shit but hearing that thing as it spits out more web and honestly, it’s fucking disgusting and he can feel slime on the ground. He wants to throw up, but he can’t do that now, can he, and then he sees light coming from the other side of the room and his lighter flying towards the spider’s back.

It stops.

Nothing happens for a moment, and he braces himself for trying to bash the thing’s head without even fucking seeing it, but then it makes a noise and –

And it catches fire, good, and while it does it finally lights the other side of the room and yes, Steve’s inside the web, and he’s still breathing even if he looks way too pale, but as long as he’s alive, who cares. The spider moves back with a screech and Jonathan can see Nancy moving back from the door – he catches his chance and uses the bat to tear apart the web holding Steve on the side.

Thankfully, it’s fresh and still slimy, which means that it doesn’t make any resistance and that Steve about falls over him, but Jonathan was ready for it – he catches him and pulls one of Steve’s arms over his shoulder before turning back towards the door. The enormous spider is still stumbling towards it, still a ball of fire, and he doesn’t dare walk any forward because he doesn’t want to accidentally set them both on fire, and at least he can feel Steve breathing next to him even if he’s fucking freezing and his pulse is definitely slower than it should be. Then again if he’s passed out because Shelob over there paralyzed him somehow it’s normal, he figures, and he only dares move when the spider definitely hobbles out of the room with a wail that he’ll ble glad to never hear again in his life.

Well, good riddance.

“Nancy?” He calls out.

“I’m outside! Is he –”

“Cold and not currently awake, but he’s all right. Can I come out?”

“Yeah, all clear. I think it was the only one left.”

“Good,” Jonathan breathes out, and runs towards the door. He considers his option, then he hands Nancy the bat and pulls Steve’s arms around his shoulders, grabbing him under his legs.

“It’s going to be faster and I can’t drag him up the stairs like that,” Jonathan explains. “Come on, let’s go before that thing sets everything on fire. Not that it wouldn’t make me feel bad.”

“Please, they should demolish this damned place and pour salt on the ruins,” Nancy agrees, and they hurry back up the stairs and outside the base, and for some miracle neither of them steps on any of the slime. When they’re finally out and breathing fresh air, he’s feeling like fainting.

He takes the walkie-talkie from his jacket instead.

“Dustin?” He asks.

“Jonathan!”

Wow, they were waiting.

“Found him,” he says. “He’s all right. We’re bringing him over as soon as we get to the car.”

“Oh, good, you’re the best! Wait, what got him?”

“Ask him how it feels to be in Shelob’s lair next time,” Jonathan huffs. “We’re going now, see you all later.”

Except that Steve really feels like a block of ice.

“Damn,” he says, “he’s too cold. How far is the car?”

“Not that much. I can get it while you wait?”

“No,” he says immediately. “No one is going alone in the woods. I can carry him,” he assures her.

They start walking. None of them speaks for a while. Steve’s breathing against Jonathan’s neck and he’s still fucking cold.

“Before –” Jonathan starts. “Before, uh. I was – I was worried sick,” he admits into the silence of the woods.

“I was, too,” Nancy replies, her voice barely audible, her hand going to Steve’s elbow. “Wow, he is freezing.”

“I know. We should get him warmer before driving off. That said – I just – I was thinking, if he actually – I mean, if we had found him dead –”

Nancy shudders, her hand going to her mouth. “No,” she says. “Don’t. I just – don’t.”

Jonathan can’t keep a smile from his lips. “You miss him, don’t you?”

Nancy shoots him a look that’s – not guilty, exactly, but –

“How – how weird it is,” she says, quietly, “that when we were together I couldn’t stop thinking about you and now sometimes I just – I’m happy, I swear I am, but I miss him?”

“Given that I’ve felt like something wasn’t quite right for all this time, not that much.”

They look at each other. Jonathan knows what she’s thinking. Nancy most probably knows what he’s thinking, except that neither of them is saying it. But –

“Are we thinking the same thing?” He asks as they finally approach the car.

She smiles tentatively. “Are you thinking that it doesn’t ever quite work because if it’s just two of us it… just doesn’t?”

“I might have,” he admits. Maybe yesterday he wouldn’t have. Now, though –

Now –

Now he thinks it’s about right.

Maybe they should have realized it long ago, maybe, but for now he just opens the car and gets Steve on the backseat, then finds a couple of blankets in the trunk and brings them over.

“Get on his side,” he tells Nancy. “I’m getting on the other. I mean, we’ve got to get him warm or not?”

“I like how you think,” she smiles, relieved, and does what he asked for. Jonathan slams the door closed and moves on to Steve’s free side – Nancy has both arms around his waist. He thinks about the logistics for a moment, then he covers Nancy’s outer arm with his, puts the other around Steve’s shoulders and uses it to keep the blankets in their place.

Steve does warm up soon enough, and of course he was cold since if he had a jacket he lost it through whatever it is that happened, and at some point he groans a little before blinking his eyes open, and –

He closes them again.

Then opens them, for the second time.

“Am I dead?” He rasps a moment later.

“Nice to see you’re still an idiot,” Nancy huffs. “No, but you got close to it. You managed to get yourself captured by the only stray monster from the Upside Down still around and we had to free you from – what’s that thing’s name again?”

“Shelob,” Jonathan grins, waiting for –

“Wait. Don’t tell me. Lord of the Rings. Giant spider. Right?”

“Yeah. Shows you’ve been hanging around those nerds,” Jonathan laughs. “That’s also why you’re slimy as hell, and we all are, but never mind that.”

“To be honest, I’m glad I don’t remember that,” Steve shudders. “But uh, wait, how –”

Jonathan takes pity on him. “You disappeared on the kids, they got to Dustin’s, they called me and her, we went off looking for you. They’re also waiting for us to go back, but since you were a block of ice we figured we’d warm you up before driving off.”

“Oh.” Does Steve sound disappointed? A tiny bit? “I’m warm now. Really. You don’t have to –”

“Steve,” Nancy interrupts him, “how about, we want to?”

“You – you what?”

“Jonathan, you tell him.”

“Wait, why me?”

“You figured it out better.”

“I didn’t – oh, whatever. Harrington, listen, something wasn’t working.”

“What –”

“Let me finish. Nancy confirmed me that somehow, whoever out of the two of us she’s with, it somehow feels like something’s missing. I was feeling like that, too, on top of – never mind that. I also realized that I really didn’t want you to die on me just before we were planning to ask you along next time we went to catch a movie. Everything is suggesting that maybe we should just, uh, expand our horizons.”

“Guys, wait, are you seriously saying that we should all date each other while we’re covered in slime that a fucking spider from the Upside Down left on me and I don’t even remember your heroic rescue?”

“That’s exactly what we’re saying,” Nancy replies. “If you’re good with trying, of course.”

Steve looks at her, then at him, and thing is – when he looks at Nancy it’s as if he can’t believe what she’s just said, and when he looks at Jonathan there’s something slightly soft in his stare, as if he likes what he’s seeing but would have never acted on it, and for a moment Jonathan thinks, are we going to kiss, and then –

“We all stink,” Nancy declares, and yeah, they do, and Jonathan’s car is going to smell for months.

“Guess I should drive,” he says, “but you two can stay here.”

“I don’t need –” Steve starts.

“Man, shut up already. By the way, was asking if you died and went to Heaven a yes?”

“What –”

“Because after we shower, I’m amenable to do that again. Just on a real bed,” he adds, wondering where the hell did that come from because a year ago he’d have never found it in himself to say such a thing, and then he squeezes Steve’s hand before he can think too much about it and moves over to the driver’s seat.

He looks at Nancy cuddling up to Steve under the blanket in the rearview mirror.

Strangely (or not?), he doesn’t feel jealous.

Not at all.

–

He takes a shower while the kids swarm over to Steve’s side and make sure he’s actually not about to die or anything – he doesn’t know how they all managed to get to his place, possibly with bikes, but by the time he’s out and he leaves it to Nancy they are still hovering around Steve and honestly, it’s heartwarming, so he’ll let them. Lucas informs him that Hopper actually did drive El here, which is why she’s in his living room, too, and then decided to let her sleep over since they did come all this way.

Fair, Jonathan figures, and goes to get some clothes ready. When Steve finally is out of the shower and knocks tentatively on his door, Jonathan’s mouth goes dry as takes in the sight of Steve wearing his clothes – he looks like he’s swimming in them, even if they’re the same height and Steve’s certainly not lacking muscle, but Jonathan does have larger shoulders, and he doesn’t wear tight stuff in the first place.

Nancy’s already on the bed, she had some clothes around the place already.

“Well,” Steve says, “guess we don’t stink now?”

“No,” Nancy agrees, standing up. “And you still didn’t reply to his question. Then again, you aren’t sleeping on the couch with the kids, so –”

“What if it was a yes?” Steve cuts her off, not quite looking at either of them but Jonathan can recognize the body language. It’d have been his own a year ago.

He smiles.

“Then the bed’s over there,” he whispers, relieved, and he thinks that he kind of wants to take a picture of Steve’s face right now, because he has slightly parted lips, in surprise, and his hair’s sticking in ways that it usually never does, and it’s still damp from the shower and Jonathan kind of wants to run his fingers through it except that Nancy’s doing it instead –

Fuck that.

The camera’s just on his right – he takes it, snaps a picture, then two, then three, and then they all end up on the bed where they push Steve in the middle, he’s not cold anymore but Jonathan did say he was amenable to do it, didn’t he?

He sees Nancy smiling at him from over Steve’s head as he moves closer, their fingers meeting as they rearrange themselves, and he decides that he likes how this new arrangement’s starting.

Now if it means that they’re done with monster hunting, too, that’d be grand.

What I think of when I see your name: Peggy/Angie fics ❤️

THEM!

hmmm. I don't want to cheat the question, but the easy secrets (i.e. unfinished works I can spoil the plots of) are all Angie/Peggy/Steve ot3s-- I had a lot of big plans for the college AU, and lol once upon a time @ratherembarrassing and I were going to spite-write a story about them getting together if they'd found Steve in the 40s to get back at some other fic that we thought got all the characterizations wrong in a vaguely similar scenario. pour one out for WIPs of fandoms past.

which, speaking of Ashleigh, I WISH I had secrets about Sofiaverse, but I ended up sneaking pretty much everything I'd dreamed up into a person's a person as backstory, so I don't have any easter eggs there. I think one of the reasons I'm struggling with this is that between Peggy and Angie being such a genuine pleasure for me to write in terms of voice, and the fact that I chose to do EVERY PROMPT for cartinelli week that one time, I didn't leave much unsaid: things I wanted to write about them I tended to finish, and I wrote so MUCH about them in such a short period that I didn't leave many ideas left over.

so having given it a shot, I suppose I'll spoil the ot3 fic after all. the trio were going to decide and keep their relationship a secret at first, because they're idiots, but it was all going to come to light when Steve gets pneumonia and Peggy blows up at Bucky for not calling her and Angie FIRST before taking him to the hospital. (weird marker on the fandom timeline: I can't say some of this WASN'T inspired by the spate of Quinn-at-Yale stories happening around that time/just before, some of which took the after-effects of the car crash very seriously). obviously who said "I love you" first to whom was going to be a whole thing, as was Peggy getting triggered by some stuff related to shit she'd repressed about Dottie. Peggy getting over herself and agreeing they should all live together for senior year (in a big house, with other roommates and separate bedrooms, but still) was going to be a very big deal.

and then, of course, there'd be the time where Peggy's stressing about grad school applications because if she doesn't get in anywhere she won't be able to keep her student visa, and Steve's like "or you could just marry me and not worry about it," and Angie storms out, and Steve follows her like "I'M SORRY I'M SURE I STOLE YOUR THUNDER WE SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT TOGETHER" and she has to, very coolly, be like:

"Steve. how many girlfriends do you have?"

"... two?"

"and how many did you just propose to?"

".... one."

"DO YOU WANT TO GUESS A SECOND TIME ABOUT WHY I AM MAD PERHAPS?"

but they work it out because of course they do, the crazy kids

😍 : What does your OC find irresistible in others?💘 : Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming? - For Saarai? c:

from the [Piping Hot OC Asks]! In case anyone wants the list and/or wants to send more

Thank you for the ask, Mima! :D

😍 : What does your OC find irresistible in others?

Looking at her current partners I'd have to say the list is as follows: -Shorter than her (this one isn't hard she's a damn building /lh) -She defo leans more towards femme partners than masc partners but that's partially a Trauma Response(tm) so y'know. Not a dealbreaker necessarily (proof: Koth XD) -Apparently she's an introvert magnet so ig Rai thinks the quiet, thoughtful/broody thing is cute? hahaha -She also has a soft spot for said "quiet" person getting a little rough around the edges/harsh. The amount of times Sash has stepped in before Rai could get a word in edgewise and either verbally or literally (situational, both Rai and Sash won't necessarily knock someone around if they don't deserve it but each of them have a line that if you cross it, you're gonna get your ass kicked XD) let someone have it and the logical, Empress part of Rai's brain took an immediate vacation while "Oh my god my wife is hot" took over are...well, numerous enough to be like "funny that has happened x times" kinda deal XD

💘 : Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming?

Oh yes, absolutely. Rai took after her daddy, she's a real charmer. :'D 10/10 pro flirt here, she'll have you swooning after one smile and one compliment half the time, even when she's ANNOYING she's charming, just ask Lana and Sash in particular. Even Koth fell for it, honestly, they didn't like eachother at first but then after they actually talked stuff out even he couldn't resist her charms ;3

I know it is the end of the spooky season but would any of your OCs enjoy dressing up for Halloween and what in your mind would their costumes be?

I am almost too late to post this in time for "spooky season" woops, been a busy week/day, you know the drill! Thank you so much for this ask Raven, it made me grin and start giggling like a little kid as I started thinking about all of this hehe. Alas, I don't have enough juice to do any doodles to go with it so I'll just be using descriptions and a handful of screenshots where I have specifc ones in mind to hopefully illustrate :3

Off the top of my head, the Ahaszaai twins are both absolutely dressing up for Halloween!

Kas would go all out, I'm talking a proper fancy, handmade costume. She'd probably go for one of the classics like a demoness, and would 100% "over"do it compared to everyone else. Ya girl done made her nails up all fancy with red rhinestones and they look hella ✨aesthetic✨ but incredibly impractical for actually you know....holding things. Ex: (link to the artists Insta by clicking on the picture, I don't claim to have done these I'm not that coordinated or talented with nail art LMAO)

(I have these saved specifically as "Kas way overdoing something for Aesthetic and/or Intimidation factor and I feel like they'd go really well with an OTT Demoness costume for Halloween ngl - she's probably made horns to match and everything. Andronikos has been roped into a couple's costume as a devil or Hades or something, to sell the look and he'll do it without complaining because holy shit does his wife look hot *wink wink* haha)

Saarai would dress up in one of those classic tacky vampire costumes - but she owns it so well that she somehow pulls it off? Reason for the vampire costume being that when she and Koth were still sort of in the "awkward trying to be nice to eachother" phase, he once asked her, with all seriousness "so you don't drink people's blood?" and Rai has NEVER let him live it down since. She's a tacky ass vampire every Halloween from then on, Koth isn't sure whether to laugh or cry anymore and Lana goes to bed early every Halloween to avoid getting involved in whatever ridiculous inside-joke-annoying-prank thing her partners clearly have going on. She does NOT want to know LOL Rai has also 100% gathered up every kid on the Oddessen base and is 100% chaperoning them while they go trick or treating <3

Aria would dress up too, not with the express purpose of scaring people OR going trick or treating but just because she'll use any excuse to show off and be extra as hell. She's got a whole tuk'ata-themed armour set (which tbh she probably wears sometimes even when it's NOT halloween....) and because Chwûq and Taral tend to follow her around and are almost as tall at the shoulder as Ari is at the waist they end up being a pretty convincing Tuk'ata-Cerberus. Vano doesn't dress up but she does tag along to try and mitigate some of the frights that unsuspecting passersby would get in seeing three tuk'ata heads appear out of nowhere XD

[at breakfast in the morning]

Lana: Rai, could you pass me the milk, since you’re up?

Saarai (Outlander), exchanging a look with Koth as she passes him to go to the fridge: Oh, sure. *knocks on the door of the fridge before opening it to hand Lana the milk*

Lana, making caf: Rai, did you just knock on the fridge?

Saarai, barely stifling laughter: Yes.

Lana, sighing & KNOWING she’s going to regret this: Why?

Saarai, cackling uncontrollably: Because...there might be a salad dressing.

*sound of Koth’s head hitting the table as he, too, laughs uncontrollably because Lana fell for it again*

Lana, massaging her temples: It’s mornings like this when I really don’t wanna live with you two anymore.

Saarai (Outlander): Hey Koth, have you seen Lana? I can’t find her!

Koth: Oh, don’t worry, I’ve got this.

Koth, cupping his hands around his mouth and yelling: Oh my Gods, Rai you’re bleeding again, what did you do!

Lana, appearing out of the crowd like a bat out of Hell: FOR FUCK’S SAKE RAI HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU-

Koth: Found her. :’D

The Lana Shipping Meme!

This is a meme made by @swtor-legacy-sitcom who very kindly tagged me to fill it in, thank you! :D This was super fun, I’ve been in a bit of a writing rutt lately so this was a nice way to sort-of dip my toe back into it :P I TOTALLY forgot this was in my drafts and forgot to schedule it to post, I’m soooo sorry it took so long lmao 😳😬

I’m not sure if we’re supposed to tag other people with this one so I’ll just leave a general, open tag here: if you have a Lana ship and want to fill this one out, feel free to yoink the meme and say I tagged you! Yes, I promise I mean you <3

Spoilers for KOTFE/KOTET, and slight spoilers for the Subterfugeverse “version” of said events, will be discussed below, so be aware of that before proceeding! There’s also some midlly nsfw questions so you might wanna skip those if they’re not your thing! :D Under a cut because it’s long, but no trigger warnings need apply.

Is Lana Beniko absolutely done with their shit?

Oh yes, absolutely. Nearly always. At any given time, BUT Lana wouldn’t have it any other way. Saarai may be a reckless, overly-heroic idiot with seemingly no self-preservation, but she’s Lana’s reckless, overly-heroic idiot, ya know :’D

Do they make jokes together?

Fairly often, yes! Theirs is very much a flirty/fond banter type of relationship. Lana tells her she’s insufferable, Saarai rolls her eyes and snarks back, so on. See:

Saarai: Well this was a stupid idea Lana: Considering it was one of yours, I’m not surprised Saarai: Why didn’t you say something? Lana: I did and you did it anyway. And what have we learnt from this? Saarai, quietly: I’m a dumbass and I should listen to you more.... Lana: Good. I still love you, though. Saarai: :’D

Lana, two minutes later: You’re going to do it again, aren’t you? Saarai: Yeah, probably.

as well as that little cutscene “You’d better come back blah blah blah” “Well I have you to rescue me, that’s all I need~” is their default pre-dangerous battle banter :P

Who’s hornier? (who initiates)

Saarai is definitely hornier, and while she’s not always the one to initiate, she’s definitely the one to ask more often. (if I had to give it a number, prolly something like 65/45 lol) One of these days, Lana’s going to buy a spray bottle /jk

Kinkiest they’ve been?

Not awfully. Saarai’s a biter (Lana likes it, don’t worry 😏) and she loves it when Lana pulls her hair, but other than that, and making use of connections within the Force to heighten the sensations during such activities ;) they’re pretty vanilla

There was a post going around a while back about an alternative to a praise kink that was like, a “reassurance” kink, instead. I can’t find the actual post to link to it and I haven’t pinned down any specifics for them yet but I definitely think that’s a Saarai thing to look into later 😏

Has Lana ever covered up something your OC did as Minister of Intelligence?

In a roundabout way, yes. Technically, Saarai’s entire existence on Rishii. Since, teeechhnically, as far as the Empire’s concerned at that point, Rai’s supposed to be dead. Lana doesn’t know the technicalities of why that is (and Saarai isn’t comfortable telling her, even now), but she knows it’s important, so she does it for her even if she doesn’t know why.

Favorite non sexual downtime activity?

Cuddles! Saarai is a cuddlebug, and while Lana enjoys them she’s definitely not the “if I don’t get cuddled x times a day I can’t go on” type (in my headcanon, ofc, I’m not saying she can never be that way!) but, Saarai’s also very warm and cuddling her is cozy, so it’s something they both enjoy, whether Rai’s the big spoon, or - and this is Rai’s favourite thing ever - Saarai putting her head in Lana’s lap so Lana can play with her hair, it’s something they always do at the end of the day when they’re both done with work.

Mushiest thing Your OC has ever done for Lana?

So, I’m too impatient & lazy to do the actual HK missions in-game, but I know you can technically get another HK unit, so because ✨it’s my fanfic and I get to make the rules✨ Saarai sent Aria (my DS! Jedi Shadow, very good at stealth) back to Zakuul and though it was a bit battered up, she managed to retrieve HK’s processor. They had to get him a new chassis, but Koth and Ty managed to salvage the rest of his “important” bits and they rebuilt HK for her after they settled on Odessen :’3

Most Embarrassed Lana has ever been because of your OC?

In the middle of an important meeting, in front of everyone on the Alliance High Council, including Theron, Senya, Ni’kasi, Vano, etc.

Lana, sarcastically, after they’ve been disagreeing on how to handle a particular matter for ~1 hr: hahaha bite me.

Saarai, dead serious: Okay, where? 😏

Lana was mortified, to say the least XD

That thing that happened that they vow to NEVER speak of?

Saarai’s reaction when they went to Nathema. Rai’s psychometric, and in hindsight she realises putting her hand on that wall as she ducked into the building was a mistake. She was bombarded with flashback after flashback of what had happened on Nathema when it was still Medriaas, the planet where she was born and where most of her family died, it was not a pleasant experience for her and Rai actually collapsed at one stage because it was all too much for her ;w;

Lana had to bring her back around and herd her back on the ship, where Rai had to wait because she just couldn’t go any further, and Lana and Vano had to go on alone. Lana agreed not to tell anyone else about what had happened, because Saarai didn’t want any of them to worry about her, or think she was “weak” because of it.

The Angriest they’ve ever been at each other?

There’s actually two instances that come to mind for this one

1) Koth’s betrayal/stealing of the Gravestone, Lana was pissed at Koth and wanted to take it out on him, Saarai was pissed at the situation and got between them and chewed Lana out for taking it out on him. (Subterfugeverse is kinda complicated, there’s two Commanders calling the shots for different parts of the Alliance, Koth took issue with something Vano did and made the reckless, kinda stupid decision to still steal the Gravestone even tho Saarai didn’t do anything. (also for anyone new to the blog, all three of them are dating, they’re polyam ;)) Lana took it personally, Saarai was more upset that he was upset and didn’t say anything before he did something stupid. Rai and Lana butted heads about how to deal with it, Lana got salty cause she got yelled at, but they ofc fix it later :3)

2) Torian’s death. Saarai had tried to warn Lana what would happen if they split Vette & Torian up during that fight, Lana brushed it off and told Rai to “stop overreacting, it will be fine”. Obviously, it was not fine. Rai was very angry at the result because, I quote, “I WARNED YOU! And you wouldn’t listen to me!” Saarai refused to speak to Lana for a few days after that, it was kinda a rough time for Lana, she’s only seen Rai get that angry a few times, and only once at her so it shook her a bit. 😢

How does both Lana, and your OC initiate the ‘fade to black’ ;)

For Saarai, the “indicator” is usually when her kisses start to become 50/50 between kissing and biting/nibbling. That’s the universal “ok I want to” signal for Rai. Usually very quickly followed by a soft “yes?” or “are you sure?”, either against her skin or into her ear, depending on where she’s kissing at the time; because she’ll always check first, and if Lana says “no”, it’s off, because Lana’s consent is more important than any of her feelings.

For Lana, it’s when she’ll let Rai pick her up and/or usually to pin her to a wall. There’s a decent height difference, Saarai’s 6 ft 3, and I headcanon that while Lana’s not necessarily “short” at around 5 ft 8, she’s considerably smaller than Rai, as well as being more “reserved” with PDA, she’ll hold hands, or kiss her on the cheek etc. in front of other people, but otherwise Lana tries to keep somewhat “professional” while they’re at work. So when she starts climbing her like a tree, Rai knows she’s about to get some. XD

Do they have kids?

Kiiiinddd of? It’s complicated. Saarai has a son, Ty, from a previous relationship. Lana & Koth both sort of step up to help co-parent, but since Sith Purebloods age differently (i.e. they’re adults at ~20ish the same as humans, but after that they’re more like elves and their physical aging slows down, so they’re more long-lived), even though Ty’s very young by Pureblood standards, he’s still 60 years old, so he’s technically older than Lana and it’s kind of awkward for him to actually call her mom even if she kind of acts like one. He accidentally called her “mom” once, it was very awkward for both of them XD

What has been the most protective Lana has ever had of said kid?

I sat and scratched my head for ages trying to think of something to answer this question with, but I’m very sad to say that right now at the time of answering this meme, I don’t have any specific scenes planned out to tell you about! :( But rest assured that Lana absolutely would rush to help Ty if it was ever necessary :D

House pets? Is your Lana a dog person, or Cat person?

Funnily enough, they don’t actually have any pets! I’d like to think of Lana as more of a cat person than a dog person, in my personal opinion. But they have yet to get any pets of their own, maybeee later on, I dunno. Haven’t hit on any solid ideas for them yet, but I feel like if they happened upon a cute kitty they definitely could adopt one at some stage :’3

Do they get freaky on the Alliance Base or in the Shuttles?

They’ve done both, to be honest lol. Thankfully, Saarai’s sneaky enough that they haven’t gotten caught doing it, yet. Thank the Force.

Are their Sparring Matches Flirtatious? Hardcore?

They could go either way, it depends on what kind of mood they’re both in. If Lana’s particularly annoyed (usually not at Rai, but sometimes) then it’s more likely to be a hardcore spar, Rai’s a pretty tough cookie so she’ll often offer to be Lana’s punching bag in order to spare them some repair bills so she doesn’t rip apart the training dummies irrepairably, it’s okay, Rai can take it ;)

But if they’re both in an otherwise good mood and are just sparring for practise sakes, then yes, they often very quickly devolve into flirtacious banter and some of the classics, you know, “okay you win, you can let me go now” “mmm, nah” “I thought we were sparring” “do you want me to stop” “...don’t you dare.” etc. :’D

Class Specific things that play into their relationship?

Saarai’s a Juggernaut, and I headcanon Lana’s probably some sort of Sorcerer, so they tend to fight as such. They cover each other in more ways than one, if you want to get to Lana you have to go through Saarai first (and good luck to you, that woman can take and give a fucking beating lmao). Lana picks off whatever Saarai’s saber misses, usually with Force attacks but sometimes with her saber, too. Saarai takes bullets for Lana so Lana doesn’t have to get hurt. Lana yells at Rai for doing that and then fixes her up with Force healing afterwards, rinse and repeat. :’D

When they do argue, Lana tends to spontaneously manifest Force lightning, Saarai’s used to it and doesn’t bat an eyelid, she knows Lana’s not actually going to throw it at her and she’s more than prepared to dodge any stray bolts that do come her way.

Lana’s the tactician and the ground support, Saarai’s the battering ram/the bigass hammer used to clear space when Lana needs a bit of extra “oomph” (and trust me, they’re usually never far apart. The other one will be there and then you’ll be in trouble lmao)

Describe a time your OC went ‘Full beast mode’ to protect Lana, instead of the other way around?

"Kriff. Koth, what happened?” Three words was all it took, and everything made sense: “They hurt Lana.”

That scene in the Endless Swamps on Zakuul, just before they pull the Gravestone out of it and Lana and the Commander get ambushed. Saarai went with Lana & Koth to break Vano out of carbonite (since Saarai was still on Rishii at the time, she doesn’t get frozen, only Vano) so when they split up, Saarai goes with Koth to look for ship parts while Vano goes with Lana to look for water.

Lana and Vano get ambushed by the Knights/Skytroopers, and Lana’s hand gets busted. It takes Saarai and Koth a little while to rush over there to help them, but when they do

Saarai. Goes. Fucking. Feral. It’s the scariest she’s ever been in front of Lana and Lana will never forget it, they almost didn’t really need Senya’s help for that part, Saarai basically had it covered. I imagine Lana later described it as “kind of hot, but also kind of terrifying, actually”

Saarai’s considered Chaotic Good, so generally speaking if there’s a peaceful, non-violent solution to a problem, she’ll opt for that, but she has a few buttons that you just do not want to push, ever. And hurting her partners is one of those buttons. She will go apeshit and that’s exactly what happened in the swamp lmao

Little things couples do to annoy each other. What does Lana do? What does your OC do?

Saarai likes to wake up early and hide Lana’s kaf mug in increasingly ridiculous places. Once, she even got Koth to help her stick it to the top of the Gravestone’s hull. It took Lana half the morning to find it, Lana was not amused. XD

Saarai and Koth also have an ongoing “terrible puns” contest where they basically see who can annoy Lana with the most ridiculous puns possible, see this post for an example :P Lana wonders where/how they keep coming up with these puns, she really does.

Does Lana get jealous in your headcanon?

Not really! In Subterfugeverse, both Rai and Lana are polyam, so generally speaking, jealousy isn’t a problem for them, and when it is it’s more of a case of “hey. Hey. Hey, I’m not getting enough attention, pay attention to me.” and then it’s usually dealt with and all is well ;)

When Lana meets Anri, the only thing Saarai does is tease her about “when she’s going to make the move”. 😜

Story that is prominent in their relationship?

I was gonna draw a little doodle for this but the poses kept not coming out right so I gave up, sorryyy qAq

I haven’t gotten very far into planning the SoR onwards+ segments of Subterfugeverse, just bits and bobs like this, but I’d say for now the most prominent is probably their first meeting on Rishii. Basically, meet-cute but with a lightsaber involved too hahaha. There was a lot of posturing and flirty subtext right from the get-go with these two, even if Saarai was particularly suspicious at first (see the earlier question about her being technically dead to the Empire). At first, when she noticed Lana tailing Ty (because Lana was extremely confused about why a Pureblood was so far from Sith space ;)), Saarai assumed that something had happened to her twin and the Empire had A) found out she and Ty were still alive and B) Sent Lana to track them down and kill them for good. Several tension-loaded hours later and Lana managed to convince Rai that actually, Ni’kasi was fine and speaking of, she was trying to avoid being killed too so maybe, actually, they could help each other. And that was all she wrote <3
