Do you ever get the AU sillies? Where you think of a goofy little idea/trope and want to put your faves in it? That's what this is lol

"Damn it! Damn it all to hell!"

Baxter let out a frustrated sign as he wiped his fingers clean on his handkerchief, then threw the cloth down onto the engine of his broken down car.

Things were not going his way.

It had been just over a week since Baxter Ward had decided to set out to build a life of his own. He'd packed his suitcases full of clothing and valuables and savings and informed his mother and father that he was giving up his role in the family business and heading east to make his own way.

As he stood on the deserted country road, car officially out of commission and nothing and no one in sight, he thought for just a moment that he may have made a mistake.

Then, over the hill that he'd just been about to cross, he heard the unmistakable sound of hooves.

Like a vision, a horse appeared on the horizon over the hill, and on top of the horse was a man. A handsome man, Baxter could tell as he horse came closer. Perhaps a man that could save him.

"Hey there," the man shouted out when he got close enough. "Need some help?"

Baxter held his hand up to shield his eyes from the sun, trying to get a better look. His savior was tall, he could tell, with tan skin, brown hair and bright green eyes. He was good-looking, and when he tipped his hat at him as he guided his horse to stop beside him, Baxter unconsciously put a hand over his heart.

"It seems as though I'm having a bit of engine trouble," he said, gesturing to his car beside him. "I tried to take a look under the hood, but I'm simply hopeless with these things, I'm afraid."

"I'm not too good with them myself," the man admitted, giving Baxter a small smile. "But my brother is. If you like, I can give you a ride to the farm and he can bring you back here and get it going for you."

Baxter had heard of the kindness of strangers, but this was too much. Still, looking into this man's eyes, he had a sense that he could trust him.

And really, it wasn't as though he had much of a choice.

"All right," he said cautiously. "If you're sure it won't be a bother."

"Not at all."

Baxter went back to the car and grabbed a small bag, quickly placing a few items inside that he didn't want to leave behind -- the money, a couple of keepsakes from his childhood. He briefly considered grabbing the pistol he'd tucked away in his glove compartment, just in case, but pushed the idea aside and stepped back. He wasn't in danger, he knew that much.

He approached the horse, and before he could ask how to get to the farm the man had mentioned, the friendly stranger had reached his hand out to him. Baxter hesitated for only a second, then took it. He was easily hoisted onto the horse, years of dancing giving him the grace to get settled quickly behind the man.

"Name's Jorge," he said, alerting the horse to start moving again.

"Baxter," he said shakily, placing his hands on the edges of the saddle to brace himself. "A pleasure to meet you."

They made small talk on the way back to the farm, which was a short distance away from where he'd broken down. Baxter learned that the farm belonged to Jorge's family, and his mechanically inclined brother's name was Derek. He assured him that Derek could fix anything, that he was very good with his hands. By the time they arrived, he was feeling confident that he'd be back on the road in no time.

When Jorge brought his horse to a halt and got down, Baxter took a moment to look around. He saw a two story house, white and a little rundown with comfortable-looking chairs lined up along the porch. A short distance away were fields and fields full of crops -- this was the first time he'd ever stepped foot on a farm, he noted as Jorge helped him down, so he had no idea exactly what was growing there.

Before he could say anything, the front door of the house opened and a woman stepped out. She began walking towards them, a glass in hand, and as she approached Baxter could tell that she must be Jorge's mother.

"I brought you a lemonade," she told Jorge, then smiled to Baxter. "Looks like I should have brought out two glasses!"

"This is Baxter," Jorge said, taking the glass and handing it to him. "I think he could use this more than I could."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Baxter told the woman, holding his hand out to her. She took it, and he shook it lightly, dipping down in a slight bow and grinning at her.

"You picked up a charmer, Jorge!" she laughed. "I'm Irene."

Baxter nodded, and took a polite sip of the lemonade, which quickly turned into a few big gulps. It was delicious, for one, but he hadn't realized just how parched he'd gotten, standing in the hot sun in his three piece suit for the past few hours, willing his car to start.

He gave the two hospitable strangers another smile, this one a bit more bashful, as he lowered the glass.

"It's delightful," he told them. "Thank you very much."

Jorge told Irene what had happened, how he'd found Baxter and why he'd brought him along. He'd no sooner said his brother's name when Baxter heard a deep, rumbling voice behind him call out, "Need something?"

When Baxter turned around, he went weak in the knees. If he had thought that Jorge was handsome, then the man sauntering up to him was a god. A little shorter than Jorge, but with the same sandy brown hair and tan skin. This man was more muscular, too, which Baxter saw in exquisite detail as he lifted his t-shirt to wipe his face -- with that move, he was treated to the sight of defined abs, and lovely hip bones jutting out above the top of his jeans, which were riding low. He was an absolute vision.

"Derek."

Baxter looked down at the hand extended to him, and without a word, he took it. Derek's grip was firm, hands warm and calloused. It was a solid handshake -- the first handshake to ever give him butterflies.

"A pleasure," he said, hoping his voice wasn't as shaky as he felt. Derek smiled at him. A billion-dollar smile if there ever was one.

"Baxter's car broke down, I told him you could probably help him," Jorge said.

"Yeah, of course," Derek said, shooting Baxter another smile. "I just got finished up, why don't we go check it out?"

After a few more minutes of conversation, Derek led Baxter over to his truck. He opened up the passenger door for him, and when he'd settled into the seat, he shut the door behind him, giving it a pat before moving over to the driver's side.

"So, Baxter," he said, pulling the truck out of the driveway and heading towards the main road. "What brought you out here, anyway?"

At that moment, with Derek so close that he could feel the heat coming off him, he wasn't sure that he could articulate exactly what did bring him out here. But he had a funny feeling that he could easily explain what might make him stay.

Concept: Our Life Age Flip AU

The idea is that the kids are the adults and the adults are the kids.

You are the child of Elizabeth. You live on the street next to your Mom's cousin, Lee, and her daughter, Pamela. Noelani is Pamela's friend whose family visits from Hawaii every summer. However, this summer there's a new addition to the street, Mr. Cove Holden and his son, Cliff. Another occasional visitor is your mom's friend, Shiloh Fields.

By Step 2 Mr. Holden has made friends with a man named Mr. Derek Suarez and his brothers. Derek has a son named Gregorio who usually comes with Derek when he visits Cove. Sometimes the Suarez family also brings along a girl named Irene who Gregorio knows from school. In addition, a girl from Prism Vista City has been showing up around the neighborhood. Her name is Kyra. Of course, Cliff, Noelani, and Pamela are still around. Also, Mr. Fields decided to bring his friend, Jeremy, to Sunset Bird this summer.

In Step 3 a pair of Cove's friends, Miranda and Terry, are getting married. They requested the services of a wedding planner from out of town who did a bang up job with Miranda's brother's wedding. For convenience the wedding planner chose your street to live on while he takes care of this job. You end up seeing a lot of Mr. Baxter Ward this summer due to being dragged into helping with the wedding. In addition, Noelani decided to attend college nearby so she's now become a local to the area rather than a tourist. Gregorio and Irene come around every so often, but it's far less than in the past since they have to get ready for college. Kyra's family moved away after that one summer, but if you chose you may still be in contact with her. Pamela and Cliff are your neighbors still, but now that you're all growing up you wonder how much time you have left with them.

Prompt 283

Now Jason would like it known that there was no mpreg situation going on. He isn’t even sure where people got that idea in the first place. Sure, he had taken a few Cores from the goons-in-white who had dared to set up in his turf.

And sure maybe the excess energy from the pit (no wonder he’d been so irritable) was what said baby halfas (Okay, so they’re half human? Alright) had used to reform. And maybe the oldest is visibly less than a year old.

But there Was No Mpreg Situation! He is this close to shooting someone! It was annoying (and slightly amusing) when it was just his goons, but now the Bats have seemingly got it in their heads! Dear Gotham it’s a good thing he’s not planning on like, ever revealing who he is because he would never be able to live this rumor down.

[Winged Ghosts Au too, that seems to be getting lost in reblogs when it's just in the tags lol]

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Winged Ghosts Au #Halfa Jason #Halfa Trio #Dad Hood #He is *This* close to pulling a heads in duffel bag 2 Electric Boogaloo #Hood’s Merry Men are concerned for their half-human teen-dad crime lord #Look if you tell someone there was no other parent they’re gonna ask questions #Crime Alley: This is our strange cryptid mom-person and we shall protect him #Star Core Jason #Space Core Danny #Life Core Sam #Storm Core Tucker #Jason was too panicked/sleep deprived when they first reformed to stop the initial rumors #Yes the tiny halfas can feed on his ecto as long as they’re close enough #He Was going to find them a good home but they’ve Bonded & he’s not sure if the GIW are still around #The goons are doing their best to keep the bats from their teen-mom crimelord #who when sleep deprived sometimes mutters about labs and beatings and warehouses and-#There are many misunderstandings

Naruto Fanfiction | Life Without Kurama, Chapter 11

Arguably one of my strongest chapters in this fanfiction, I give you Chapter 11 - Anchor Point! This point in the story was one of the main reasons I was so excited to cover the earlier arcs. I went through all of that just to get here.

Oh, what have we here? Inoichi Yamanaka himself! What are he and Sasuke cooperating on, and perhaps more importantly, why?!

Only one way to get your answer! ;-)

welcome home persona AU, aka mostly an excuse for me to draw my human designs in classy children’s fairytale-inspired outfits

#welcome home #welcome home restoration project #whrp persona AU #wally darling #eddie dear #frank frankly #sally starlet #julie joyful #senjart #senja when he has a hyperfixation: crossover it with ANOTHER hyperfixation #already wrote down their arcanas and persona names THIS HYPERFIX STUFF IS SERIOUS #they are named mostly from books and opera ….. giving it more of a fairytale feeling #I think the AU’s main themes and storyline is about the strings of fate and deciding your own life….. like maruki’s dreamworld #their persona awakenings are basically them being bound by strings/chains/vines/etc and they break out and yell their persona names!!!!#BECAUSE THEYRE TRAPPED…. PUPPETS IN A STRING…… BOUND BY FATE…. YANNOW YANNOWWWWWWWW #AND THEN THEY GOT THEIR OUTFIT AND THE SICK P5 GUITAR RIFF PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND #’’yes we’re forced to come into terms that our reality and the cope of our imagination has been limited but at least we got these outfits’’#(sally voice) DON QUIXOTE! AGIDYNE!!!!!#also Home is the navi. it speaks as a disembodied voice that’s creaks and bangs to outsiders and coherent voices for persona users
