<< Rewind
1.4k words, St/ranger Th/ings — platonic Steve and Robin with brief hints of St/eddie and Ro/nance. As ever, Steve is only capable of worrying about others.
Written for @miserablebabes — I was your secret santa ^^
Thanks again to @softsnzstuff for organizing this!
It’s another slow evening at Family Video. Snow falls gently outside, bright silver against the thick cover of clouds. Hardly anyone’s out and about tonight — certainly not for the sake of renting a movie, at least.
That’s not to say there’s nothing to do around the store, though. Far from it. Although they obviously do their best to do as little actual work at Family Video as possible, Steve and Robin still recognize that Keith will be on their asses if they neglect regular upkeep.
The VHS tape rewinder clicks off, and Robin retrieves the rewound tape with a yawn. She fits the movie back in its plastic case and places it atop a growing mountain of movies to her right. Shifting back to the stack of movies on her left, she pulls another from its case and places it in the rewinder, turning it on with a soft click.
It’s all far too dull. On the other side of the customer service counter, Steve is fast asleep, head nestled between arms folded on the table. He must’ve dozed off while she was rummaging around in the back, Robin figures.
She considers letting him sleep. It’s not like she needs him to help deal with the store’s nonexistent patrons at the moment. But a hand with all the goddamn tapes in the return box would be nice. Well, that and she’d love to have someone to chat with. The Family Video is far from quiet — Back to the Future is playing on several screens throughout the store, its audio punctuated by the rhythmic whirring and clicking of the tape rewinder — but the white noise feels distressingly empty without their usual banter.
“Hey Dingus,” Robin says, ruffling Steve’s mess of big, stupid hair. “Have a nice nap?”
Steve groans awake at her touch. “Hands off the hair, Buckley.” The counter he’s resting his arms and head on is ungodly cold, so he clumsily forces himself upright on his tiny little stool, looking like he might start to lean too far one way or another and topple over.
Robin eyes him, unsure of where all this drowsiness is coming from. “You good? It would be nice to have some help sorting these tapes.”
“Shit, you’ve been doing that yourself all this time?” Steve runs a hand through his hair and casts a dazed glance over the stacks of movies scattered about the counter, then a concerned look back at his friend. She looks tired. “Hey, Robin?” Steve mumbles. “You don’t look great.”
“Wow, I bet you say that to all the girls.” Robin rolls her eyes and slides a few stacks of tapes over to Steve. “Scan these in.”
“Shut up, you know what I mean.” He swipes a sluggish knuckle under his nose and gets to work on logging the returned tapes.
Robin shrugs, placing another movie in the rewinder. “I’ve been manning the store while you were knocked out. Perhaps you just might be able to find it in your heart to forgive me for having a few strands of hair out of place from running back and forth between the counter and the new releases. We can’t all look as flawless as Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington all the time.” She glances over at him, but her eyes snag on his slumped shoulders and pallid expression, and she’s suddenly aware that he really does not look flawless at the moment. Quite the opposite of flawless, actually.
Steve leans forward on the counter and rubs at his eyes, annoyed with himself both for falling asleep on the job and for his apparent inability to properly convey concern for a friend. “Right, sorry,” he says with a sniff. God, his head aches.
The VHS rewinder clicks off again, but Robin pauses before taking the tape out. Even if he is pretty out of it, she wasn’t expecting Steve to sound so dejected. When she chooses her next words, her voice is a little gentler. “You’re awfully concerned about me for someone who looks like he might keel over at any moment. What’s going on?”
“‘s nothing, guess I just didn’t sleep great last night.” His gaze is glossy and distant as he keys in the password to the computer, messing it up several times before typing it correctly. Before Robin can probe him further, his eyes narrow, then flutter shut, and Steve ducks to the side with a rough-sounding sneeze. “hiH- GKT’Sshhuh!”
“Mmm,” Robin hums. “You sound sick.”
Steve swipes his nose across his sleeve. “snnft. I guess, yeah.”
"You could’ve said something. Why drag yourself through the mud if you’re in bad shape?”
“Don’t be stupid, it’s just some dumb cold.” He sniffles again, thicker this time, and returns to scanning in tapes.
Robin raises an eyebrow. “You fell asleep at the customer service counter.”
“Really, Robin, it’s fine. ‘m awake now, good to go.”
“And now you’re scanning in movies from the stack you already scanned in.” She walks over to him and plops down on the stool next to his. “Sorry I woke you.”
“Is that an invitation to pass back out? I’d feel bad if I left you with all these goddamn tapes.” Steve gives her a weak smile, slumping back over the counter, chin propped up on folded arms.
“Something tells me you’d also feel bad if you kept yourself awake,” Robin says, brushing a gentle hand across his forehead.
“Christ, Buckley, what did I say about the hair?” Steve hisses, wincing and recoiling slightly.
“You’re burning up.”
“Figures,” he groans.
“Honestly, Steve.” Robin exhales a small sigh.
“Colds always make my head hurt like hell. 's normal.”
“I don’t know where you got that idea, but being this out of it is not normal.”
“No, I mean, like, it’s normal for me.” Steve pauses, an uneven breath sifting through his teeth. He presses his nose against his sleeve in an attempt to rub away the burning sensation prickling his sinuses. “ihheH- hehH’TCH’uhhh! Shit. snf. ghuuhh. Y’know. After all the, uh, the head trauma.”
Robin’s expression softens. “Steve - ”
“ihh-! hH’CHHUHshh!” The second sneeze wrenches through his chest, damp and breathless.
She watches him, shivering and sniffling and folded in on himself on his tiny little stool. Something close to guilt tightens in her chest, and she finds herself foolishly wishing she could rewind time like one of these VHS tapes and take a blow to the head or two in his place. It’s a completely unreasonable thought, but not any more unreasonable than Steve’s proven willingness to throw himself into danger for others’ sakes.
“snnft. ghuhh. Sorry.”
“You’ve gotta stop getting beaten up,” Robin says, handing him the tissue box from under the counter.
Steve exhales a bitter laugh and presses a tissue to his shiny-damp nose. “How else will I have any sense knocked into me?”
Robin slides several stacks of tapes aside and joins him in leaning forward on the counter. “So how many more concussions ‘til you figure out that you don’t have to be Mr. Tough Guy around the people you’ve gone through literal hell with?” Coming from anyone else, the question would’ve sounded accusatory, but the way Robin asks it, staring off into the empty winter night just beyond the front door, she mostly just sounds forlorn.
“How many more concussions? snnft. Yeah, how many.” It’s not intentional, but he’s doing a great job matching her tone, he realizes. Steve rests his head back between his arms and closes his eyes. The lights in the Family Video are way too goddamn bright.
“I’m gonna go grab you some painkillers and call Eddie, okay?”
Before she can get up, Steve speaks up. “Robin, hold on.”
“...?”
“I’m sorry,” he croaks.
“You already apologized, Dingus. It’s fine. Gross colds happen to everyone.”
“No, I mean - ” he pauses to rub his nose against his wrist. “ - I’m sorry I’m, I dunno, such an overconfident idiot.”
Robin tilts her head. “Don’t be. That overconfident idiot has saved my ass a few times. I just wish he was a bit kinder to himself.”
“I can try,” Steve says with a sniff.
“Good.”
“Also,” Steve cracks open an eye to meet Robin’s gaze. It’s weak, but there’s a sly smile creeping across his lips. “Since when do you carry painkillers on you?”
“Shut up.”
“Nance insisted, didn’t she?”
“Shut up!” Robin laughs. If he wasn’t in such bad shape, she would’ve shoved Steve right off his stool for that.
“Yeah, she’s a real walking pharmacy, huh?”
“Frankly, Steve, in an ideal world, everyone around you should be a walking pharmacy. You have all the self-preservation of a wet paper towel.”

I really like that zoro and luffy's relationship is weirdly simple while still being somewhat complex. equal yet not quite but actually yeah. it's just interesting bc they've got all these ways in which they match or complement each other right? the importance of their dreams and the will/determination they chase them with, the straw hat vs wado ichimonji, their scars, their views on certain things like death or heroism and literally echoing what the other does or says even when they're not together, the whole sun/moon, god/demon bit and other parallels to outstanding or legendary characters in OP, etc. their goddamn haki too.
then there's the fact that although luffy's not one to enforce strict roles within the crew, zoro very much views the straw hats with a certain level of hierarchy he includes himself in and deliberately places himself below luffy, who won't hesitate to give him orders in certain circumstances that he trusts zoro to follow as well. but the story (via some side/background characters) does make it a point to remark how strange it all is bc zoro is crazy strong and a leader of his own right to the point he's got the haki to match, who in the past refused to join an organization like baroque works unless he got to be the boss. he's even admitted he sees no point in staying a pirate if not part of luffy's crew, and he wouldn't remain in it to begin with if luffy didn't square up to be the kind of captain zoro's willing to devote himself to. just like how luffy wouldn't have invited zoro to join his crew if it turned out he wasn't a good guy.
and luffy. the way he relies on zoro turns my brain into confetti. the almost unreal sort of trust he places in zoro all the way since shells town, the sheer confidence in zoro's strength, steadfastness and protectiveness - the kind of confidence that allows luffy not to worry when the people he cares about or their allies are with zoro, and if someone from their crew is forced to leave bc of dangerous circumstances, zoro's one of the first he can count on to bring them back or watch over the rest in the meanwhile. all of which becomes extra meaningful when you find out about luffy's backstory, how much he hates being alone or when people leave. luffy's not the type to reject help from whoever's willing to offer it and he's been saved by plenty other characters along the way, but zoro's been consistently and explicitly worrying over his safety since the early days and protecting him for about as long, as much as he's able to, and luffy just... lets him. that willing, conscious kind of vulnerability coming from the guy who's the captain and usually the strongest around is so good. so compelling. the pirate king expects and needs no less than the world's greatest swordsman and he can have him, as long as the pirate king remains worthy of it. truly one of the most fascinating relationships in this manga for me.
#zolu#tp#I've been busy bc of the holidays but rest assured that I'm still thinking abt them#I also may have gotten a little salty over take I saw so djfjfjfjfjfjf#but anyway my point is I love how these two don't truly have a clear cut kind of power dynamic it makes it more fun

OH. okay so normally i dont touch discourse with a 20 ft pole, but this has been niggling at my brain tonight and i finally realized why
the people who are mad at qbbh for the memory loss and “dodging consequences” dont understand that he doesnt want to dodge consequences. Like they cant know that, they werent focused on him when he was literally feeding himself to the soul vultures and planning his eventual imprisonment and also. The Many Many Many hints he made towards suicide/sacrifice/Just Fucking Dying.
ccbbh is a subtle roleplayer, he’s been building this shit up for two whole months- it was day FIVE of the eggs going missing that he resolved to do whatever it took (hurting his friends) to get the eggs back. It was day three that he followed in dapper’s footsteps and started feeding himself to the soul vultures (and gaining a Massive headwound beneath his hood in the process- you can only see it if you go on namemc and remove the layers). He’s got impaired judgement. Even the memory issues arent a new thing- i cant remember exactly when they started, but one of the first big moments i remmeber was september 30th where he spent an hour falling into a delusional frenzy searching his base for cameras that he forgot he asked aypierre to plant.
The super murder of purgatory and the memory loss afterwards probably all feels very sudden for people who havent been following his story, but as someone who has been- all of this has been true to character. The only cheap swings he’s made have been combat-based in purgatory, and even the motive for those was built up in rp.
People are calling for consequences, but he has alrwady been experiencing self-inflicted consequences for months. The blue on his usual outfit is blood. This recent memory loss isnt a restart to get away with the atrocities - it is yet another consequence of his egg-protecting complexes and the ways he punishes himself for failing them.
he is NOT a moral character. he’s a demon hiding in plain site. he has eaten people. he has killed people. he understands the cruelty of his actions, and the consequences of them for the loved ones of his victims. but it matters when that harm is being done to his loved ones. he’ll still do it, because he will do anything for the eggs, but it matters, and that means that he has already started the process of self-inflicting those much-demanded consequences
#anyone who isnt a qbbh makn please extend some sympathy for us. our guy is being misunderstood again#so if people seem twitchier than usual that probbaly plays a factor#but if it ever gets annoying be rest assured he is doing his very best to train us in media literacy#and also the block and filter buttons are your friends#and qbbh mains join me in the genuinely freeing revelation that they have just. strawmanned him yet again#i feel like youve gotta be able to understand a character to truly hate them#and no one (not even us oh my fucking god) really understand him#and thus the vitrol means nothing and i am free of all woes#anyway tho genuinely if you want to know more about this cube im willing to talk about him#i have Credentials#one of my posts was dono’d to the cc almost word for word and he called me a know it all#qsmp#qsmp badboyhalo#discourse#<- mentioned#an interestinf discussion could be had too about xyz character Deserving xyz thing#and really people in general Deserving xyz thing#but i think that is a wasp nest i dont know enough about to join swatting#i ngeed. to go to bed

Twilight discovers Yor kept the grenade pin.
Ok so this is kinda late slkdsjlf but it's here!!! Im gonna write all of these prompts lol not even my degree can stop me
But yea it was a bit hard to come up with a narrative concept for this one, but I hope you enjoy it!!
------------------------
Twilight notices details. It's an important skill for a spy, and one that he’s spent years honing.
It's for that reason and that reason alone that he spends so much time studying Yor. She’s the person in closest proximity to him these days, it’s only natural that he’d make sure he knows her well enough to be able to play whatever character she would respond best to.
At first it’s really just that. Analysis, information gathering. But after a while Twilight finds himself lingering on things that have no bearing on Yor’s involvement with the mission. Like the gentle red of her eyes, or the dip of her exposed shoulders framed by that red sweater.
Or her hands, well manicured and slender. He knows what strength they hold, but you’d never be able to tell from just looking at the delicate planes of her fingers. Planes that are unexpectedly calloused and rough, an uneven topography relating a story Twilight has no idea how to read.
Sometimes he lets his eyes linger on her hands, following the shadow of a path he distantly wants to trace with his fingers.
The path sometimes focuses its route on her ring finger, empty despite their arrangement. He never got her a ring. It's oddly fitting - no rings for a couple who aren't really married. To the outsider, it could be seen as suspicious.
That's the only reason he lets himself dwell on the thought of buying Yor a ring. She'd never brought it up, but he's sure she'd be on board with the idea. For the aim of enhancing their appearance as an actual couple, of course. From a mission standpoint. Yor isn’t his real wife, there is no reason for him to find the concept of it being clear that he’s hers and she’s his appealing.
When he hears the neighbours whispering about their relationship again a few days later, he takes it as a sign to breach the topic with Yor. It'd be stupid to risk the mission over something that’s so easily fixable.
He brings it up that evening, as they sit in the living room together.
“Yor,” he starts, and Yor turns to look at him inquiringly. “How would you feel about getting rings?”
“Rings?” Yor echoes, seemingly pondering the idea. “Like wedding rings?” He nods.
“I wouldn’t mind,” she says, smiling. “But you already gave me a ring?”
It’s Twilight’s turn to look at her questioningly. Yor doesn’t answer his silent question, getting up and hurrying into her room. She returns a moment later with a small cloth bag. Reaching into it, she pulls out a small silver loop.
Twilight recognizes it instantly, a grenade pin. But why…?
“I know it isn’t actually a ring,” Yor says, holding the pin like it’s something precious. “But you proposed to me with it, so I felt it’d be a shame to just throw it out.”
Ah yes. That grenade pin. Twilight stares at her for a moment, dumbfounded. Half of him questions his reasoning for proposing with a grenade pin in the first place. The other half is oddly touched that Yor felt it was valuable enough to keep.
He fends off that half and gives Yor a gentle smile.
"I'm sorry about the circumstances of that proposal," he says wryly. "It wasn't ideal, and I should have at least gotten you a proper ring."
"There's no need to be sorry," Yor says earnestly. "It's my fault for asking you about marriage in a situation like that." She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, sheepish.
"Besides, it was a very memorable moment," she says, quietly. "And it marked the start of a new chapter in our lives, even though this isn't a real marriage."
Twilight recognizes distantly that the fondness that seeps into the smile he’s giving Yor is not intentional or scripted.
“I’m touched it meant that much to you,” he says, smiling. “It was certainly an explosive night.”
Yor laughs at that, and Twilight loves the sound.
“I still think I should get you a proper ring though,” he says, and Yor loops the grenade pin onto her finger.
“Perhaps,” she says, laughter lingering in her voice. “This one is a bit big.”
----
Yor beats him to it. A few days later, she presents Twilight with a small velvet box, her eyes shining with excitement. When he opens it, there’s a simple gold ring inlaid with a few small red stones nestled in its cushioned interior. For a moment he’s at a loss for words, looking between the ring and Yor.
“Even though it’s not really a ring, you’ve already given me the pin,” Yor explains when he fails to organize anything to say after a few moments. “So I thought I’d get you something as well.”
She looks a little nervous, watching him for a reaction. Twilight knows which one he should give. Loid Forger should thank his wife, insist that she didn’t have to, and gratefully take the ring. Maybe hug her.
The small but pleased smile he gives her is not a facade.
“Thank you,” he says, and his voice is full of a warmth he didn’t choose to fill it with. “It’s a lovely ring.”
Yor’s eyes curve into happy crescents, and for a split second Twilight wishes he could freeze the moment in time.
He goes out the next day and buys Yor a matching ring, inlaid with blue stones.
----
When Mr and Mrs Forger have a renewing of vows a few years later the beaming bride wears a grenade pin carefully hung from a necklace.
---------------------------------------
The bit with Yor giving Loid the ring is inspired by this post. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!

An introduction to my little ‘Seamster 4 Hire’ DCA au!
Pretty much this au is a mashup of the usual ‘reader meets sun & moon and platonic to romantic hijinks ensue,’ ‘sun & moon are separate animatronics’, and the ‘Sun and Moon deserve their own individuality of expression without having to settle for something they both like/tolerate every single time’ concepts. I love drawing/designing characters in new outfits and dabble with custom clothing in my limited free time, and am a trans short king, so ‘Seamster 4 Hire!’ Seems to cover all those bases pretty well!
In this au I imagine this comic takes place a while down the line, bc it takes the reader a long time to fully gain the two daycare attendants’ friendship as they begin working on the new outfits and accessories, taking into account what sun and moon *want* and not what faz.co might dictate.
(This is for multiple reasons: 1. Since the DCAs were split in two after the fire, they needed a new costume set that was tailored to their new body specifications bc their old bodies had barely survived the fire, 2. More than one or two sets of clothing is not soundly hygenic for ones entrusted with childcare unless they got washed *every day* 3. With the uprising of animatronic rights, many parents and guests had petitioned for the DCAs(and other animatronics) to receive a more diverse wardrobe of their own choosing, specifically as the demand for their children’s daily role model be taken care of properly and respectfully rose with each passing week, and 4, if the seamster let Faz.Co management dictate the actual clothing designs, the DCAs would never have a custom fitting wardrobe of their own to wear out if, and *when*, they eventually leave/live outside of the new and improved pizzaplex. Yes, it’s that kind of au. I need happy endings on the horizon okay xD)
Like, the main rock stars outfits? Performer type things and the like? That makes sense! But for those that take care of the little ones? They don’t need to be restricted to anything flashy when comfort and safety is the number 1 priority! And whats more comfortable than a daycare attendant that happily dresses up some days and on others they may just have a cozy day, just like everyone else? If it fits within the safety limitations, whats the harm?
(Oh! And Eclipse? He gets his own body too. But considering he’s expected to be replacing moon for Security Patrol, who knows what faz.co intends to do for him. c:)
More to come eventually, I just. Really love drawing the boys. Especially them happy.
#fnaf#fnaf au#dca au#fnaf sun#fnaf moon#seamster4hire au#luka draws#luka’s aus#someone tell me how to tag these right pleeeaaassee#theres so many similar tags i do not know which are the main ones :(#anyway the boys deserved smooches#…dont worry abt Seamster okay? ….they dont need their shoulders dkskfshsfkfs#they’re meant to be hickeys but obviously big mouths kinda. do that.#rest assured the moment the severity of the bruising actually set in both of them were so upset with themselves#hense why they’ve been dotted with a hundred smooches for the day. to remind the#*remind them that Seam isnt upset with them!!#but yeh sun and moon are far more gentle after that

regrettably, there are more Jellicle cats out there than Andrew Lloyd Webber warned you about. some of them have even been hiding in plain sight.

character wrapped 2023 💥
tagged by @davidtennantpussytulpa ^-^ i didn't know how many to do so i copied tara and did top 10. i know the severance guys are Four Of Them but i can't separate them theyre all equally important to me
will graham (hannibal), em haywood (nope), aziraphale (good omens), mark & dylan & helly & irving (severance), hawkeye pierce (mash), martha jones (doctor who), ivan karamazov (the brothers karamazov), kim kitsuragi (disco elysium), stewy hosseini (succession), ruescott melshi (andor/rogue one)
i will tag... @fagician @britomart @libraryfag @roadwhores @majorbaby @globuspolski @hadleyfraserfaggot @tenderscience if u want to ^-^
#and now i will explain them all in detail#cos i started watching hannibal back in like. january or february and will immediately set up camp in my head and started to settle there#*I* pay rent to *HIM*. he lives there permanently. sweating and monologuing constantly#em was not only the character of 2022 but also of 2023 and of 2024 and the rest of the decade and all decades to come#she had such an impact on me keke palmer's performance will live with me forever and i love nope so fucking much#i almost didnt include her because nope was more of a last year obsession. but she lives on#aziraphale.........no comment#severance.......i love them all so much and at first i wanted just irving and then just helly and then i realise i cried over mark this week#and then i realised i couldnt possibly leave out dylan when hes probably my favourite character. so then i settled for all of them#hawkeye is my fucking wife. enough said#martha... well i knew i had to have a doctor who character. i thought maybe the doctor but then i thought their companions mean more to me#sometimes at least. i did have a fourteen icon for a while but then i was like but Donna..... and then i thought. well#these past few months at least martha jones has been eating away at my heart. i go batshit insane when i think about her#her impact. her grace. her power. so she had to go on the list.it was a toss up between her and donna for sure though#then i figured i had to include a karamazov since reading that book took up half of my year. and ivan was my favourite of the 3. so <3#kim goes without saying. literally nothing to be said hes the character Of All Time. to me#stewy also goes without saying ive had so many Stewy Save Me moments since the beginning of season 4 all the way to the end of the year#i miss him every day. he is the moment. i wish there was more of him all the time#and the last one is a bit of a wildcard cos all my insanity abt melshi has been on my andor sideblog.#but rest assured ive been thoroughly Not Normal about him. he literally side appears in 4 episodes and has 11 total minutes onscreen#but i love him. so much. and hes occupied most of my thoughts since september. once again his impact his power his grace. his homosexuality#enough said. that's all. thanks for reading. this was a great year for autism and madness#tag game#🍪

Do you think canon Sara and August will see each other again in the futur ?
Short answer: It’s not impossible! And it’s certainly great fanfic fodder.
Long answer: The question of “canon” Sara and August is what makes this question require a longer answer. The last we see of canon Sara and August is them broken up, and that’s the last we see of them as a pairing. At the same time, an important think about that scene is that Sara owns the part where she still has feelings. I don’t think that means Sara’s going to keep pining for decades, but I do think it means she’s not just girlbossing her way out of that relationship like she doesn’t care. She’s vulnerable and honest about the part of her that’s still in love. Her choosing her friends and Simon and herself has more meaning if she’s actually giving something up.
More importantly, though… I also don’t feel like I have to take all my orders from canon. And canon leaves these characters behind when they are young and their lives can still go any number of directions.
Now that canon is over, the characters belong to the fanfic writers. We are allowed to do what we want with them! Like, I saw some folks lamenting that Rosh/Stella didn’t become a real thing and Y’ALL IT STILL CAN. You can write a thing where Fredrika and Stella break up and adult journalist Stella is interviewing adult women’s national football team Rosh after they win the world cup, and Lisa will not smite you with a canon lightning bolt. She’ll probably kudo your fic with her secret AO3 account. WE ARE THE FANFIC WRITERS. NO GODS NO MASTERS.
Ahem.
A more interesting question for me is, what would need to happen next in Sara and August’s lives for them to one day have a Second Chance Romance? What are the fanfic ideas in my brain?
I don’t think they’re disappearing from one another’s lives entirely. Wille is still going to be interacting with his family members from time to time even if he isn’t Crown Prince, and that includes August. I myself read Wille and August’s reconciliation scene at the party as a new start for their relationship. Not one that forgets the past, but one that is able to move forward into the future.
If Wille is going to keep interacting with family in some capacity or another, and Wille is going to stay with Simon and Simon is going to stay reconciled with his sister, then it is possible that Sara and August will occasionally still be crossing paths. Maybe not all the time, and maybe they work to keep their distance. Certainly they’ll date different people along the way and maybe they’ll be in situations where they end up meeting one another’s other partners at times. And they’ll both be growing up, you know? They’ll get to see sides of one another they don’t see as teenagers.
On August’s end, I do think if he wants to have any chance with Sara again, he has to make things right with Simon. But I think he’ll want to keep things right and continue to make them better with Wille (deep down what August really wants most is family, like more than he wants to be king, this is a hill I am prepared to die on) which would mean investing in trying to make things right with Simon. Not even for the sake of August’s relationship with Sara, but for the sake of August’s relationship with Wille.
I know August wasn’t reconciling with Simon at the end of season 3, but I honestly think that a) making things right with Simon is going to take a lot of time, like years actually, and b) August had to start with Wilhelm and with their shared complicated grief over Erik, and that took a whole season. But believing in a universe where Simon and August can actually learn to get along with each other… idk. It’s kind of a cool idea. They have ambition and a sense of dedication in common, and it would be interesting to see them understand that. And I don’t think it’s completely implausible.
(In one of my imagined scenarios of August trying to be a better family member to Wille and Simon, Rosh’s wife—a wonderful OC character who I’ve named Agnes, who is a chill nerdy lady who owns a gaming store—arranges weekly DND campaigns for the three of them + maybe Ayub, and they all work through their stuff by leveling up their characters every week. Please believe in my DND universe with me, it’s incredible.)
Another thing I think would have to happen is August would have to leave the monarchy eventually. Which I think is totally possible too. I got another ask about that, so I’m going to save my thoughts for that post specifically.
Lastly, he needs stronger connections with other friends. Maybe that’s Nils and/or Vincent (both Nils and Vincent have interesting side plots in the future!fic I’m envisioning for August and Sara and the other mains) or maybe he makes brand new friendships he can lean on. That way Sara isn’t doing all the emotional labor ever for him.
On Sara’s list, I have less of a defined set of things I’d like to see, but I feel like growth and more life experience generally can’t hurt. I think it would be great if she’s dated some other people first, both casually and seriously so that she’s built up relationship experiences. And I think it would also help Sara to have some disabled/neurodivergent community, as that seems to be a thing she currently lacks in canon.
I think both of them need a significant amount of time apart (at least five years, but I’m thinking more like a decade) and also more therapy. All that said… neither Sara nor August need to be perfect for them to have a Get Back Together storyline. Otherwise there would be no story! They can be struggling with new grown up things.
Finally, I think it’s worth thinking about how much potential there is for both of them to change with time. When I think back on my teenage self 20 years ago… damn, teenage blue was selfish and sheltered and hadn’t done fuck all to confront her racial or socioeconomic privilege. She was taking out her internalized ableism on herself and other people all the time. It’s taken me a long time to grow up, and the path hasn’t always been linear.
The YR characters are so complex and dynamic that I think it does them a disservice to imagine futures where some of them are Only Ever Good and others of them are Only Ever Evil. I don’t think we have to envision a future where Sara and August get back together—like it’s not a mandate—but I don’t think there’s any mandate forcing us to imagine them apart forever, either.
And you know, after one has put in all that time on character growth… well. The reunion smut has the potential to be pretty hot. So there’s that, too.

no but im thinking about how 4halo could be together while keeping their dynamic intact. forever asks bad on a date and bad is like yeah :D friendship date. several dates later bad's the one to propose and he says "will you merry me" as in like. be merry with me. feel joy forever for we're together and we have 11 children aka all of the eggs we have forcefully adopted from the other parents and i dont know what life would be like without you. you changed my life for the better. besties 4evar, forever

What if Luxord was Keykiid's apprentice? I believe this because they both use cards (in Chi, before the medals, cards were used) they both use darkness and light, in addition to ludor, one of the possible names of Luxord's somebody, which means playing, what do you think?
it's an interesting theory! i've been thinking of the possibility that player themself could be luxord (though it's a bit of a stretch since we don't know what the exact rules for reincarnation are yet), but apprentice seems plausible too — especially since in the jp dialogue for the final dark road cutscene, xehanort calls player "master" (not necessarily indicative of them having apprentices, but interesting to note either way)
related to their similarities, i also keep thinking about that kh3 remind scene between luxord and xigbar, specifically where luxord says, "yes, that's what i've always done. i followed the orders from above without question." obviously this could just as easily be me picking out coincidences and making connections where there aren't any, but i have to admit that it just makes me think of player's line in the clock tower when they confronted their foreteller: "i've done everything that was expected of me without a second thought."
which also reminds me of luxord saying "the game isn't over until it's over" in the caribbean, which seems to be becoming something of a reoccuring line — it's said once in the loading screen of xehanort and eraqus's chess game with the exact same wording, ephemer says a variant of it in the khux finale ("it's not over till it's over, skuld."), and even player sorta says it right before they fade away though it's a lot more truncated and could be handwaved away ("it's not over yet."). it's interesting to me to see who gets those lines, and out of all of those luxord's sticks out like a sore thumb to me; sure, games are kinda his thing, but it seems like a line that's gaining some importance, so to give it to luxord of all people feels suspicious — all part of him becoming more important in the story moving forward supposedly
(and this probably isn't related at all so i'm just slipping this in last, but in that dark road q&a there's a question about odin where nomura just says "Naturally, Master Odin also had a master to mentor him. Said master entrusted Odin with a mission, which actually ties in with the identity of the blue-robed individual." and it just . it hasn't left my head because there are so many things you could extrapolate from it. does this imply player and odin had the same master? or is player odin's master? are they completely unrelated and the mission is the only thing that connects them? it keeps me up at night)
anyway i'm rambling but tldr; i think there's a lot of tiny details that link player and luxord together and it's fun to think about what their connection could possibly be, and i'm more than excited to see what gets revealed about them in the coming installments !!
#kingdom hearts#can u tell i have very normal thoughts abt this /j#all these tiny details and similarities Could just mean nothing bc u can find connections w Anything if u look hard enough#but goddamnit until im proven otherwise im sticking them up on my corkboard and keeping tabs on them#i was also gonna point out luxord saying specifically “black/white goat” in his confrontation w xigbar bc its a symbol associated w MoM iir#but then i remembered its also associated w xehanort so i changed my mind#(i could also just be misremembering that and MoM was never associated w a goat)#another thing i didnt mention was player2's default design looking similar to luxord#mostly bc thats kinda more on the iffy side#either way. i have Eyes on luxord#and to a slightly lesser extent demyx but rest assured im staring at both of them#asks
