"He never goes hiking alone again," Stede says. "That's thing one that we'll need to address."
"He didn't 'go hiking'," Izzy scoffs. "He ran out of gas and went walking to get more, and probably wound up going the wrong way."
"That's a kind of hiking, because this is a mountain!"
"That's...it can't work like that!"
Their Lyft driver seems all too glad to drop them off at the base of the trail. Ed's car is parked incredibly shittily (presumably because of the running out of gas, otherwise he'd better have some other excuse), but Ed himself is nowhere to be seen.
"Where does it show his phone?" Stede reaches for Izzy's phone.
"It shows as close as it can to the nearest tower, aka this mountain, the same as it did on the way here," Izzy leans back, phone in his outstretched hand. "And you don't need my phone to know that!"
"Just let me look!"
Why is the tire iron on the ground?"
Stede turns back to Ed's car. "Huh. Odd, right? The tires look fine."
"We should get going and find him. The text that he was out of gas and finding a place to stop was hours ago-"
Stede walks away from him and picks up the iron. "There's blood on this."
--
"How long has it been since you've done this?"
Of course Bonnet doesn't know. They share Ed, sure, and fuck each other, but it doesn't go beyond that, and this is why. He doesn't fucking listen.
"Last weekend," Izzy sighs. "Jim and I tried a new trail. Remember? They sent an email out with pictures to everyone?"
"Because I love a good nature walk, but this seems like it might be more intense," Stede continues. "We'll weather it together though."
"As if there's any other choice."
"What was that?"
"I said," Izzy panics. "Don't raise your voice. Um. Cougars."
"Are there any here?"
"Why would I know?"
"Why wouldn't you?!"
Izzy fights the urge to throw himself or Stede off the mountain. Besides, at such a low height, the fall would barely maim them, let alone kill them.
"Jim and I stick to trails with posted signage, so we know from that what to look out for."
"No research beforehand? That's a dangerous game, Izzy."
Again, he thinks of the brush smashing into his face, if he would simply fall over and start rolling sideways now.
"We don't have to talk," Izzy sighs.
"No, I suppose we don't. Just... it's a nice distraction."
It is. Ed is probably fine, but finding a tire iron with blood on it isn't the most encouraging sign either.
That, and he hasn't texted again. Not even after they both texted him, called, at Stede's insistence tried a video call too.
His phone might just be dead.
"I read a good book for this situation," Stede continues. "Have you ever read Hatchet?"
"...probably?"
"Then you know the secrets to basic survival as well!"
"Oh," Izzy says. "No, I don't think... it's a kid's book, right? Not a bad one, I mean, but-"
"Here in the States they have Boy Scouts, maybe Ed's run into some of them! That would be good luck."
"They don't prowl the woods in packs!"
"But they do camping trips! I loved reading about that as a kid. Yeah, we had our version, but back then the American version was the It Thing-"
Izzy splutters. "They're people's children! They don't just wander the woods ceaselessly!"
A branch snaps.
"We should probably get a move on," Stede mutters. "It'll be dark soon."
--
"Everyone is going to ask why we didn't call the police first," Izzy says. "And I do start to wonder why we didn't."
"Would they go out this soon for an adult? I didn't think the Americans did that."
"The sooner we leave this country, the better," Izzy grumbles. "I know, ultimately the work project has been a good one. But you own everything to do with it now, so you can move us back home, or somewhere that isn't here at least."
"I admit that would be nice," Stede sighs. "Should we stop, eat and rest for a moment?"
"It's getting darker by the minute, can we really afford to lose that time?"
They press onwards.
--
"If there was no sign warning of animals," Bonnet whispers. "Then there probably aren't any here. That logic tracks."
"Does it?"
"Kiss me as a distraction?"
"We don't have time for-"
A huff of breath.
"Don't run," Izzy murmurs. "Just keep walking."
"I'd really rather die making out, if I must die out here-"
"I know, but shhh!"
"Izzy-"
Something crashes behind them, and he grabs Stede's hand.
"Run ahead, and find. Well, if it's a bear actually going higher won't work and-"
Something heavy thunks him in the back.
"What the fuck?"
"Oh!" Ed's voice emerges from the shadow. "It is you guys. Oh my god! This-it'll be funny once I tell you-I thought you two were some, I don't even know, out here to murder me!"
Ed cackles, and holds up his hunting knife. "I nearly smacked this into the back of your neck, thinking I was protecting myself! Holy shit, wow, fuck, actually that. That could have been bad. Oh god-"
"Let's put that back in the sheath," Stede says softly, taking the knife from Ed. "Glad you carry it though, considering how dangerous this area seems. And right by the highway!"
"Where else would...nature doesn't-" Izzy rolls his eyes. "Never mind. But he's right. Good that you have it, though thank you for not outright stabbing me."
"What about the tire iron?" Stede asks. "We found it and I touched it and oh my fingerprints are on it, Ed-"
"There was a snake," Ed interrupts. "So I beat it to death with the tire iron."
"I didn't see any remains of a snake."
Izzy shakes his head. "Nothing. Maybe an animal-"
"Oh no," Ed says. "You know how I am with snakes. He was beaten, to death, and into pieces, and then oblivion."
Izzy blinks. "When did you last eat?"
"Lunchtime."
"We need to get out and get you food."
--
"You know," Stede says as they drive down the dark highway, towards the nearest open diner. "I didn't hate that. I hated the reason we were out there, of course, because I was worried about Ed. But the actual walk..."
"You don't want to do that again."
"Did you really hate it?"
"...no. The quiet bits, both of us not snapping at each other, those were relaxing. I'd just rather not be out there because we're rescuing Ed."
There's a snore in the backseat. Not surprising, because Ed fell asleep even before AAA got to them with more gas. He's probably out even harder now.
Stede smiles. "Well then. I'm free this next weekend."
"Oh-"
"You're free this next weekend-"
"I am-"
Stede shrugs. "If you'd rather not..."
"I didn't say no. Just...not this trail."
"Oh god, no, we'll go to a different one. A better one. With a field to lay in."
"You have a fetish for being covered in ticks?" Izzy asks. "Because out here-"
"Ah, that's right. We'll just have to fuck in the car before and after I guess."
"I guess we will."

━。゜✿ jily fic recommendations ✿ ゜。━
Really, we shouldn’t be surprised by now but I have more amazing jily AU fics to share because the writers of this fandom are incredibly talented and I have my screen report to prove it.
For reference, anything in italics is taken from the summaries on ao3.
serendipity by desperateforsanity (on ao3)
Modern college/uni AU. Dearest Students and Staff, I am pleased to announce Hogwarts University’s fourth annual Pen Pal Program. Upperclassmen and sophomores likely remember and cherish the memories of their previous penpals and are excited to make another friend this year.
TW: for the later chapters for discussions of grief and its effects on one's mental well-being. For the most part, though this is a fun fic full of great banter!
The Frenzied Misadventures of Balcony Man and Window Woman by @clare-with-no-i
prompt: "It's 3am why are you outside my window- are you trying to rob me?"
It feels necessary to preface this entire thing with the fact that, yes, James had good reason to be dangling precariously from a third-floor balcony, and anyone who says differently is simply attempting to smear his good name.
At least, that’s the story he’s sticking to.
Hijinks & Shenanigans
mellow is the man (who knows what he's been missing) also by @/ clare-with-no-i
Earl's Court. 24th May, 1975. Led Zeppelin live in concert like you've never seen them before.
FEATURING: prolonged eye contact, deeply metaphoric descriptions of cigarette smoke, painful levels of detail about makeup, and a special one-time performance by Two Teens In Love!
OR: the "we made eye contact at a Led Zeppelin concert but my friends pulled me away to mosh before I could come say hello" AU
So when I say that I saw this unfold frame by frame in my head, I mean the writing is on another level. The way that I could almost smell Earl Court ... I regret waiting so long to read it.
Also, found out this is written by the same author as one of my favourite jily fics foreigner’s god so that explains it
“I'm not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me.”
― Sally Rooney, Normal People
but he’s a little bit too far away by @firefeufuego
Historical AU. A decade after they met as cadets for The Times, the toll of James chasing stories in war zones is starting to hit home for Lily.
Taking A Shot At You by @annabtg
Modern AU. Lily Evans, pharmacist, has to work all day and night on New Year's Eve - and ends up ringing in the new year with a bloke who just got himself a dog bite.
The Right Track by BeeDaily (on ao3)
Co-workers modern AU. When James is first handed the train ticket, his immediate reaction is to laugh openly in his father's face.
the horoscope by lirians
Modern AU. James stops momentarily to give way to a bunch of rambunctious teenagers on the pavement before he regains his step. Lily has come to a halt a bit further, waiting on him.
“Horoscopes?” he asks as they move onwards. He’s relieved that any awkwardness between them is apparently gone. “How so?”
“Marly sent me mine this week because it said I would meet someone from the past again,” she explains. “I’m still not sold on the idea of it, but isn’t this weird?”
I was inspired to read this by this art
The Falcon and The Squid by @jfleamont
There's a Lego Millennium Falcon that needs to be built.
There's also a bet, a ring and a bike.
Put it all together and what do you get?
Leda's jily will always be a favourite of mine. They're idiots in love your honour
Glastonbury by elanev91 (on ao3)
Prompt: we're at a music festival and you crawled into my tent when drunk and fell asleep, now you've woken up bewildered and to be honest I should be more annoyed but you're just so good looking
One Day at Time by @sweeethinny
Single-mum-lily AU. One day at a time is the mantra Lily uses to keep peace inside her mind, but there are days when it's simply impossible and in the end all she needs is a glass of wine, a cozy hug with her boyfriend, and a serious talk with her son.
Note that you can read this as a stand-alone one shot but it's part of a series that takes place in this AU
For All My Life by aheartcalledhome & SecondJadeofLan (on ao3)
When saving the bees ends in a happy family.
pumpkins and blueberries by evotter (on ao3)
Modern soulmate AU. In which Lily Evans hates puzzles, Marlene McKinnon is a coffee-making goddess, and the stuffy manager with the unkempt hair just so happens to be Lily's soulmate. In the wise words of Mary Macdonald, nothing is scarier than a relationship. Especially if it's with your soulmate.
After Moon by lovesickjily (on ao3)
When the universe sent Lily back in time for some inexplicable reason, she didn’t realise that she’d fall for the charming, messy-haired Prince along the way, nor did she realise that she’d see him once again.
here's to never growing up by elixirsoflife (on ao3)
Chat fic where a group chat documents the lives of four highly dramatic teenage boys as they navigate their A Levels.
Or, like, die trying.
Okay, I rarely ever read chat fics, they're just not my thing. BUT this one had me wheezing on my way to school. It's crack. Just treat it like crack
Ice Baby also by elixirsoflife
Modern college/uni AU. In his defence, James never expected to meet his soulmate at thirteen minutes past eleven on a Sunday morning when he’s aiming a puck at Sirius’ balls.
Or: call me sweetheart again and I'll punch you in the throat.
Not a Clue by PotterandEvans (on ao3)
Modern college/uni Quarantine AU. Lily stood in the doorway of the flat, looking at the boy in front of her. She had spent most of the last two years keeping her distance from the annoying piece of work, staying away from his ego mostly. “Come in.” She said, stepping away from the doorway to let him into the flat that she usually shared with Remus.
"Ah, so kind." James muttered as he walked inside, his heavy bag weighing him down. This really was not the ideal situation, for either of them. But he had nowhere else to go, so staying with Lily Evans it was going to have to be.
they were zoommates (requires an ao3 account) by elanev91 (on ao3)
Modern college/uni Quarantine AU. Lily's on lockdown and, because she can't help herself, signs herself up for a whole bunch of extra (and free) work with her ad agency. Minerva, her boss, assigns a cheeky social media manager to her team to help her. Also, Marlene discovers TikTok (this is nowhere near as important to the narrative as its inclusion here suggests).
And You Heard About Me (Ooh, We’ve Got Some Big Enemies!) by @wearingaberetinparis
Fame AU. Lily Evans is a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and global superstar, who recently broke up from her latest and long-term actor boyfriend Amos Diggory. James Potter is a professional football player who plays as a forward for Manchester United and has never been quiet about his celebrity crush: Lily Evans. When Lily Evans thus plays at Wembley Stadium - a place he is more than familiar with due to his being part of the England team - he just has to go and see her perform, embracing his inner, besotted fan boy, while the woman on stage is completely oblivious to his presence. Or is she?
The most unrealistic part was man u winning (but it's James so that explains it).
Regardless, I started this fic while waiting for my final grades from last year to come through, and while they were disappointing, this sure wasn't. I was crying so hard that I fell asleep. Then I woke up and continued the fic and suddenly I was giggling along with Lilly.
Anything and everything Mary writes is a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.
it continues (the beginning doesn't matter) by whitesunlars (on ao3)
She is the last person he expected at his door at that exact moment, despite feeling unsure about the fact that she managed to track down his address, he agrees to go out to coffee with her. A lot could be said about James Potter, but nobody could claim that he had good self-preservation skills.
They meet in a bar. Mistakes happen. They learn to keep going.

Ranking the best 10 Merlin episodes + a fic rec based on each one:
(absolutely not based on how gay they were) ((no order for the eps; they're all chef's kiss)) (((last two fics have a hold on me that levels the show itself; worth scrolling for)))
1. The Poisoned Chalice
Look. There is something just absolutely entrancing about introducing this episode in the first five of the entire show. Like, this hands-on was the sole reason everyone fell for those two idiots. It beautifully captured how the saving each other thing is reciprocal, because the first three episodes you just have to watch Merlin run around saving Arthur, never the reverse. Producing it early on in the show was the decision that, in my opinion, held everyone in their chokehold for eternity.
Fic rec: you are my favorite mistake (it can only be fate) by @multifandom-jess.
2. The Death Song of Uther Pendragon
I could go on and on for how this episode singlehandedly carried s5 on its shoulder. Like, okay I unfortunately love s5 with all my fucking heart, but this episode was perfect. Ghosts? Check. Banter? Check. POETRY?? Check check. A slap to Uther's face? Oh how beautifully checked.
It's so easy to recall how Arthur truly loved his father, but in this episode, the turmoil you see in his eyes from the actions of his father and how he resorts to saving the ones he loves (Merlin) over his father, is just too beautiful to be overlooked. Ever since Arthur became king, we see him struggle from his father's legacy. But in this episode, he begins to detach both consciously and subconsciously from him. Whether it's in his decision to save the old sorceress in the beginning, or to shun Uther's ghost, both the literal and the figurative, from his life any longer. This was one of the episodes that captured the true essence of King Arthur.
+1: the innuendos of this episode were 🤌. They knew what they were doing, you can't convince me otherwise. (are you threatening me with a spoon? / I'm teaching him some poetry.. he can't get enough of it! / what was that? h-horseplay. why don't I show you?)
Fic rec: My heart is readily yours by @regulusrules. (absolutely love how after all this introspection, i decided to throw it all away and made uther stab merlin in the fucking heart instead. but still it was my honourable attempt to shit on the finale and give them the happy ending everyone deserved).
3. The Sword in the Stone pt. 2
OKAY. This episode! Aside from how badass Merlin was in both pt.1&2, but here, especially in the part where us audience were impatiently waiting for the revival of the sword in the stone, there could've been nothing more perfect. Just like their adaptation of the round table scene, this was perfect in its own way for how different it was. They didn't make it so that people will finally find a king; they made it so that the people believe in their king. And more than that, for Arthur to believe in himself. With the estrangement and losing his crown, the writers gave him the best way to re-establish his inner glory. And Merlin being this guide; what more perfect culmination to their relationship?
You have to believe, Arthur.
Iconic.
Fic rec: Couldn't choose between Only Friend by @captain-ozone, and Fathom Me Out by @supercalvin. Brilliance ahead in both of them, I tell you.
4. The Eye of the Phoenix
Magic. Gwaine. Quests. Need I say more to explain that this was the show's holy trinity?
Fic rec: From Past to Present by flowersheep. (Prince Merlin. Archer Merlin. Perfection my friends).
5. A Servant of Two Masters
Look look; if there's an honourary wall of opinions for all the people who've watched Merlin, I DARE you to find just one who disliked this episode. Like, the series was so full of BS sometimes, but this episode was above all. The level of brilliance in this episode; showing Dark!Merlin, who's at the same time hilariously funny, and seeing him BAMF his way with Morgana, even when he's chained and tortured.. oh dear holy Lord. His "do me a favour, could you? let Arthur know." was able to steal all breath from my lungs the first time I saw it (and until now).
And don't get me started on the Protective!Arthur we got. Caring for Merlin, screaming for him when the rocks fell between them, silencing Agravaine immediately when he told him he's sorry for losing such a loyal servant because bullshit if he doesn't reign down hell before he loses Merlin. And ofc, Courage and Strength on their way to find Magic, which just filled my heart with an 'aaahhh!' moment, because we didn't get enough Gwaine-Arthur-Merlin shenanigans. And at last, the Hug™. Fucking screamed let me tell you.
It is an episode that truly showed everything; from comic elements to fluff and angst and everything. The only thing it lacked was, as always, giving Arthur the space to know. Because ffs what would they have lost if they made Arthur understand that Merlin's under Morgana's control? It wouldn't have exposed shit. It would've just been a plus to us to see Arthur caring for Merlin even more. They tried so hard that it completely backfired sometimes.
Fic rec: Still I Surface in Morning Light by @queerofthedagger. (I swear to you, anything written by this author, I readily throw whatever in hand to read it).
6. The Dragon's Call
Let thy gif caption speak.
No but really, that first episode was the stuff of legends. I could list down tens of tropes they did in just that episode alone. Honestly, no "family" show I've ever seen had started this powerfully. Just the music alone, the beauty of beginnings, not the CGI, was truly so gripping. Also bonus points for just Colin Morgan's sass abilities. None can compare.
Fic rec: This Time Around... series (incomplete) by Oneiric (lkdaswani). (this is a time travel AU, but the way the writer rewrote this episode was one of the best deviations I've read for an episode I already find near faultless).
7. The Sins of the Father
I might be subjecting myself to true wrath with my upcoming statement, but here we go:
S2 sucked.
From the beginning of the season, Arthur's shift in characterization from the honourable lovable prat of s1 to a letting Merlin act as a horse stool got me going wtf? It was like they deliberately ruined everything in their relationship and started out fresh just to force the Arthurian narrative of Arwen. And it's fine by me, truly, even if I'll never ship them, but they could've developed Arthur's character SO MUCH in that season beyond comic relief and romantic rendezvous.
Anyway so that I don't stray so much from the topic; this episode was, by fair comparison, the best in the entire season. By now it's pretty obvious that I gravitate towards all the episodes that give Arthur a semblance of agency. Him going against Uther and his maniac murderous agenda was the start of actually seeing King Arthur in front of us. Also, him listening to Merlin when he was on the verge of committing patricide was one of the things that gave me hope in how there's still hope in them. Even if they ruined it with making Merlin lie to Arthur, but the writers practically ruined every good episode with this.
+1: Morgause's intro was badass.
Fic rec: The Sins of the Father (and how to right them) by @cupcakezys. (what we deserved. to see arthur with agency, with an ability to decide for his future without being lied and deceived to).
8. Diamond of the Fucking Day
No matter how much I hate this episode, I can't, in good conscience, deny its hold on my heart. As I wrote before, there could've been no better magic reveal than this. And for all of my bitterness over their decision to kill Arthur, I sanely admit how it was a decision that insured the immortality of this fandom. It's been ten years since that episode aired, and I bet my ass off that it will still feel the same even after countless more decades.
Fic rec: literally the entirety of the fandom's fix-it fics. We all started from there, didn't we? Choosing only one would be so undervaluing to all the brilliance I've seen. However, my tags filter for it usually include: fix-it, angst with a happy ending, court sorcerer merlin, shitting on bbc writers 101, canon era, not canon compliant, everybody lives especially king arthur you mfs.
9. The Wicked Day
Throw me from the highest tower there is because every time I remember this scene, I just want to fade into the light. The sheer level of love and understanding shimmering between those two. Sometimes I marvel at the choice of bringing Colin and Bradley together, because no two could have achieved such chemistry, platonic or not, as those two did. This whole episode of showing Arthur's grief, and Merlin's desperation to heal it, was truly unforgettable. I try not to linger on its ending, Arthur denouncing magic for the millionth of time, but other than that it was a gem served to us on a silver platter.
Also seeing Uther finally die was a plus.
Fic rec: As much as I'd love to recommend my own fic for this, but honestly, whenever I get the chance, I will always take it to scream and wail about one of my absolute favourite fics of all time, which really isn't given ANY of the goddamn credit or attention or kudos it deserves. Beauty in the Ashes of Our Lives by Fulgance. I swear to you, you will never read something as beautifully heartbreaking as this. This fic resides in my mind rent-free. Basically any work by Fulgance is amazing, but this fic— oh God, my heart cannot take it sometimes.
10. Arthur's Bane pt. 1
Fuck, that episode was a masterpiece. You know, if it was all in my hands, I would've magic revealed at this particular episode. It was just.. the perfect opportunity. King Arthur in his glory, beginning of the season, enough time for Arthur to fully understand the depth of what Merlin did for him. Also, the range Arthur was given starting from here; God it's what we deserved. I always blame the writers for being inconsistent with his characterization (s2 and all), but they beautifully crafted it in the end, and it was their perfect chance to even explore the whole extent if only they made the magic reveal earlier.
Fic rec: Our broken pieces by @aramblingjay. Okay so this fic rec isn't necessarily linked at all to the episode, but I can't, in good conscience, recommend fics and not include it. Technically context wise it fits s5, for in it you see Arthur in his grandeur as king. This shall be my only exception because it's the only fic that was able to make me cry. Truly, I never shed tears, but in this, my heart stuttered. The fact that it is so unnoticed makes my blood boil because of how much praise it deserves. I can never recommend it enough.
To conclude, BBC Merlin has a powerful hold on everyone because of the fact that they knew how to eternalise it. It is significantly unique in its interpretation of legendary figures. I think I watched nearly all adaptations of King Arthur throughout the years, but even with how great some really are, to me none compare with this sword-swishing, banter-driven, CGI-messing, emotionally-killing 2008 show.

Now that you've watched s2, I'm very curious to hear your opinion about it as an honourable IB shipper
My feelings are very mixed, while their flashbacks were pretty cute, the "confession" scene felt TERRIBLE to me. Why would these two old bureaucrats sing a cheesy song at each other in front of their respective courts 😭 Why were they speaking like 13 year olds. The ending just ruined the relationship becoming canon :(
Really long answer incoming lol.
Okay so. Essentially, yes. It was jarring/cringe because it was so VASTLY different than the vibe of their relationship that I had built in my head the last four years. I've always thought of them quite a bit more mature, sometimes combative, and really fucking kinky. But I wouldn't say it ruined it for me, and I'll explain why.
Initially it seemed SO out of character, the lovey-dovey, almost childlike affection they had for each other. But it's exciting for me to consider what if this WAS in their characters all along, they were just never given the opportunity/felt safe enough to let that side of their personalities be seen. Which is HEARTBREAKING but there's some subtle evidence to back this up.
We all know Bee is an angry, annoyed, high ranking demon with a lot on their plate. Even Crowley said "because they're always such a ray of sunshine" to Shax because it seems common knowledge to all of Hell that Bee is, well... an angry little shit. But they ARE a ray of sunshine when they're with Gabe, away from hell, away from their daily stresses, away from the expectations of running Hell. LOOK AT THEM.
We saw a hint of this in S1, when they showed a moment of vulnerability. When? In front of Gabe, at the airbase. They can't show weakness in Hell because they can't weaken their position as Prince (Grand Duke?), but Gabriel is the only other being in the entire cosmos they feel is an equal, and they can therefore let their guard down like they did at the airbase, and like they do a little bit more at every meeting with Gabe following Armageddon. Until they were actually showing the real Bee- who is a little unsure, kind of quiet, and a worrier. I always headcanoned that Bee absolutely WAS soft, underneath all their posturing, but only ever in private and only ever with Gabe. AND THEN I WAS GIVEN THAT HOLY SHIT.
Okay now on to Gabe. I always headcanoned that after Armageddon, he fucking broke. He snapped. He was SO TIRED of working toward goals, leading the host of Heaven toward said goals, and then the biggest one of all ended up a failure and essentially it fell on his shoulders. And that's basically what did happen in canon! It started, just like it did for Bee, at the airbase, when it was all falling apart, he turned to the only being he could that would understand his frustration.
He was always the hard-ass boss, albeit an idiot and a dick, but the memory wipe proved there was a sweetheart in there somewhere. Before the season aired, I assumed the memory wipe was what would show Gabe the error of his ways, and he would learn to be gentle and generous and loving through that trial. But it turns out HE ALREADY LEARNED IT BY THE TIME OF THE MEMORY WIPE.
Heaven seems so cold and lonely, and my god the scene where he says no one had ever given him anything. My heart ached for him. Heaven didn't even give him a desk. MURIEL, a 37th order, was given a desk but he wasn't. Away from the cold sterility of Heaven and his obligations, he heard Bee say they liked something, and he realized how happy their enjoyment made him. So he decided he liked it too. He never got to enjoy things (other than clothes), or his time around others, and Bee provided him that escape, simply by saying "I like this song." And then he miracled the song to play because he wanted to make someone, other than himself, happy. And he was ready to swan dive into Hell, give up the clothes he loved, because he knew he'd be okay, he and Bee would be okay if they were together.
Yes, their relationship is way different than I pictured it would be. But I'm framing it instead of being ooc, maybe we weren't seeing the real Gabe and Bee in S1. We were just seeing them as the result of their respective situations.
And the confession, to me, was used as a juxtaposition for the husbands confession, which uh. Did not go nearly as well.
So yeah, the singing to each other and their soft, innocent affection was cringe. But Bureaucracy has always been cringe, Bee is a gremlin and Gabe is an idiot. I'm looking forward to exploring their new dynamic in fic, and maybe filling some of the gaps that took them from where they were to where they are now.

words: 2,680 pairing: lee felix x gn reader genre: angst, comfort, fluff(kinda?), very very sappy and romantic themes, they're in love, your honour
You sit there apprehensive, tapping your nails on the surface of the table as you feel the atmosphere tense up after what you had just blurted out.
"I don't think we should do that, it's a bad idea."
You had said rather seriously after Felix had proposed the idea that he wants to take you out on an actual date, with a half chuckle. You bite the inside of your cheek, not being able to make eye contact with him as you feel his cheery and half joking manner disappear when he says, "I see." quieter than he was, this entire evening. It pained you. You have known this boy for about 3 years now. You cherish him more than anything in life. And you love him more than you can allow yourself to. Because you can't bear the thought of things going south and losing him from your life. Not after what happened last time, when you allowed yourself to fall for someone. You don't want Felix to become a stranger to you or even risk the possibility of breaking his heart or have yours broken by him. You wouldn't be able to live with yourself if any of those were to happen.
You gulp rather harshly as your throat gets drier by the minute. You hate how hurt he seems thanks to your abruptness and uncalled for seriousness. You look at the half eaten brownie in front of you sitting on a porcelain plate. You can feel his leg bouncing swiftly under the table.
"Actually you know what-" he lets out a chuckle of disbelief, setting his spoon down and that makes you look up at him, his face stern yet extremely expressive with a plethora of emotions, eyebrows partially furrowed, jaw somewhat clenched, "If you're so repulsed by the idea of me taking you out, maybe not always look at me with those eyes, or hold my hand under the tables when no one's watching, or fall asleep in my arms and act like it's what friends do." his voice breaks a little at the end and his face scrunches up like he's about to cry out of frustration any moment. You shake your head in disbelief, "Felix what..." you say shakily, cursing yourself out mentally. "Oh please, don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. That's all everyone ever says to us, to me, how it's obvious as day. But every time, I take a step toward you, you push me away, you take several steps back. And at this point I can't even tell if I'm dreaming about it all. The way you look at me, the way you talk to me and give me all those poems that no one knows about." his voice, loud and frustrated.
You feel a sob bubble up your throat as you bite down at your lip. He had caught on, caught on to how unavoidably, ineffably in love with him you are. Your repressed feelings for him can easily outweigh anything you've ever felt. And yet you couldn't allow yourself to be close to him. Your feelings for him are like astronomy, you don't know where it starts, where it ends. The only thing you know is ever since they appeared, they haven't stopped growing since.
"Felix please..." you manage. He sighs loudly. He presses his palms to his face and then interlocks his fingers with his black locks. He stares at the table and you can tell he's about to cry. "I'm sorry. I'm an idiot. I should've never brought it up. We're best friends and that's about it. I misread it I guess." he says lowly, pushing back his tears. You look at him with eyes wide with despair and pooled with tears. "It's not like that." a tear escapes your eye socket as your face scrunches up. Your hands, shaky and cold with fear and anxiety. He looks up at you with the saddest most distraught expression and it breaks your heart in a million little pieces. You sob a little, "I can't love, Felix. I can't fuck this up like I've fucked up before. I can't lose you like I lose people, when I try to love them. I love what we have right now so please-"
"Do you love me?" he says through his unshed tears and a broken voice, determined to hear the truth from you. You shake your head, defeated and crying "Felix, it doesn't matter we can't-"
"Do you love me or not, Y/N." he asks, voice rigid even though he's practically sobbing at this point. You look away, mouth shaking. Oh how bad you wished you could profess your love for the boy you'd destroy the world and everything in it, for. But God knows you couldn't. Not after what happened last time. Not with him, you'd do anything it takes to have him in your life, even if that meant, keeping him a little far than you'd like.
"Just tell me the truth...please." he sounds defeated. You bite your lip almost making the flesh burst open. With a heavy sigh, your chest falls as tears fall onto your lap, "I do...I always have. I'm in love with you. But we can't happe-"
He stands up from his chair abruptly, cutting you off mid sentence. He walks over to you to your side of the table in two very fast steps. He gets on his knees beside your legs, you can hear his shaky breaths. He puts his palm on your cheek, his hand colder than ever, his touch makes you shut your eyes sharply. He traces your tear away and makes you face him but that only makes you cry out harder. He tucks a strand of your hair behind your ear, getting a better look at you through his tear filled eyes. He can tell you are scared, scared to love him, scared that this will all fall apart if it were to begin, scared that he will leave. But God knew how his mind, body and soul, could never do that. All he ever longed and yearned for was you, to have you as his, for him to be yours with nothing in the way.
"Y/N, look at me please." his voice gentle and low through his shaky sobs. You open your blurry eyes and look at his face. His eyes are soft and warm, face soaked with tears, lips curling downwards into a frown. And God does it break you to see him crying this way.
It's not that you don't want to be loved by him or love him. You do. But you always felt as though you've been emptied of love far too much, the last time you were in love. Love left you bleeding on the roadside, with no one tending to your wounds as your once lover, walked away not once looking back at you, as you sunk deeper into the ground. Love left you unrecognisable to yourself. Love left you cold and devoid of emotions. Love left you all alone and closed off and it made you swear to yourself you'd never let your guard down for anyone ever again.
But you met Felix. The human equivalent of the sun, but softer, gentler yet warmer. Someone who never left you behind even after the countless times you tried to shut him out, in an attempt to protect his light from your darkness. Because you knew how much of a pure human being he is. It almost makes you weak in the knees to think of how a person could be so kind and patient to you, who was anything but welcoming to him in the beginning. Felix was the only bright thing in your dull and confined life where you pushed everyone and everything away, but you couldn't get rid of him. And before you knew it, this 5'7", starry eyed, freckle faced, bundle of hope, happiness and all things mushy gushy with his stupidly beautiful smile that made your world light up and your heart rate reach a pace you weren't aware it could reach, became the most important person in your life. And you'd turn the universe upside down, to protect him.
"I love you, Y/N." he says, voice shuddering, his hand resting on your cheek as he looks at you with a certain plea and tenderness in his eyes, as if he's really seeking permission, for you to let him love you.
You hold his hand over your cheek as you give it a strong squeeze. You can't comprehend your own emotions right now. He said those words. The weight of those words are inexplicable. You sob so hard, you make no sound, you just shake vigorously in front of him as your breathing grows more and more strained and uneven. Felix inches closer to you, pulling you in his arms. Your forehead rests on his shoulder as he holds you tight, letting you cry on his now soaked black t-shirt. He tries to calm himself down so he can comfort you a little, "Shh i-it's okay. I'm here. We're fine. We're o-okay. You're safe with me." His breathing is haggard, as he runs his fingers through your hair.
You want to tell him you love him too. So much, it's taking your all to not give into it right now. You want to be happy right now, happy that he loves you too. You want to be close to him. But you keep stopping yourself from feeling all those things. The feeling of despair outweighs it all, because you feel like you may not be able to give yourself to him, the way he deserves.
He pulls away from the hug and cups your face in his small hands. "I know you're scared Y/N. I know you keep thinking you'll be left broken again. But it's okay, I'm me, right? I'm your Felix. I'll wait if I need to, I'll make you see that, I'll never leave you behind. I'll always be here, loving you, being by your side through it all. And you won't have to be scared anymore okay?" he smiles in between his tears.
You look at him, wide eyed and bewildered. Make him wait...? On you? It was as though something inside you cracked open. Something inside you freed itself. You start to have this strange epiphany, looking into his eyes, that you can't wait or make him wait anymore. Not like this, when the only thing stopping you from wrapping your arms around him and never letting him go, is your past grievance over someone who only burned you in the name of love.
How can you make him wait on you? When he spent all this time, mending a heart he never broke. Your heart. That he brought back to life, stronger than ever before. All because he loves you.
Love didn't come in harsh words, disrespect and desertion when it came from him. Love came in simple actions, love came in warm small hands wiping your tears, love came with the sugar in the brownies he bakes for you, love came in the way he always stands up for you, love came in the way he always makes you smile, love came in the way he always has his arms reached out to you so you can fall into them whenever you get a little too tired of this world.
"Lix I..." you choke. You don't notice how you were already smiling while your eyes pooled with salty water, in contrast. He looks at you with raised eyebrows, a little bewildered and confused by the change in your expression. Your shaky hands, take his away from your face and hold them. A grip as firm and sincere as you can manage as you still tremble.
"I love you too, Lix. You don't have to wait for me this time. I love you." you say as calmly as you can but you cough and choke regardless. It takes him a while to register what he heard, but his eyebrows rise up, jaw hangs open into a big toothy smile. "Really? Are you sure? I don't want to press-". "I've never been this sure, Lixie." you cut his rambling off with a firm squeeze of his hands. He looks flabbergasted as he tries to contain his happiness, but being Lee Felix, he can't hold himself back from crying out happy tears. You get on your knees, on the floor to pull him into your arms, wrapping your arms around his neck and shoulders, as he wraps his arms around you really tightly around your waist, crying into the crook of your neck.
You take in this feeling. You can't help but cry a little out of happiness too. He's here. You can finally love him like you've always longed to. There's nothing between you two anymore. You plant a small kiss on the side of his head, "There there you little cry baby. Cheer up now will you?" you chuckle through your sobs. You pull away from the hug to look at him. You've never seen him this happy but little did you know that's exactly what he was thinking as well. You join your forehead with his, closing your eyes shut.
"Y/N..?", he whispers, his breath fanning your lips.
"Hmm?"
"Say it again."
"I love you, Lix." you let out a breathy chuckle.
Your nose touches his. You feel blood rushing to your cheeks and ears with your eyes still shut. He snakes his hand away from your waist and puts them on either side of your jaw, "Can I kiss you? Please?",he exhales deeply, his voice soft and low. It sends shivers down your spine yet makes your whole face heat up. You rest your hands on his neck, "You don't have to say please, silly." You bring your mouth to his, lips, melting into each other's.
Your brain goes blank. You've dreamed of this before. But it never came nearly as close. This feeling makes your brain completely stop on its tracks and you don't register a single thought aside from being aware of what's happening right at this moment. His plump lips softly caressing yours, passionately kissing yours like he's making a promise to you. Your lips, moving rhythmically with his, trying to memorize the feeling, but not in a haste. And then he just rests his mouth on yours. His breathing steadying as he traces your face with his dainty thumb.
You both pull away gently. He lets out a soft exhale as your foreheads still remain connected, "I've wanted to do this for so long. I love you so much, please don't ever let go." his deep voice shakes sending vibrations on the surface of your lips. You back away from his face and open your eyes to look at his face. His face, sticky with tears as he stares at you with those same tender and loving eyes, his hands on your cheeks still.
That's right. You think to yourself, tracing those beige and brown spots on his face. "Never." you reassure him. He smiles in pure joy. You take in all his features and this is not the first time you've done it. You just want to remember this, his face like this. This look spread on his face, because of the fact that he can finally love you like he's longed to, all this time.
Love comes in those constellations scattered across his face. Love comes in the luster of those half moon eyes. Love comes with the stretch of his lips revealing his ever so beautiful smile. Love comes in the hearty laughter of his soft deep velvety voice. Love comes in that look he gives you, like you're the only thing worth looking at, in this ever expanding vastness of the universe. Love comes in his little soft fingers, holding your face up, like you're the most precious thing to him in his life, and God knows you are.

Cheng Xiaoshi: There are some things beyond our understanding. We must accept them and learn from them. Because these moments of crisis are also potential moments of faith. A time, when we either come together or fall apart. Nature always has a way of balancing itself. The only question is, what part will we play?
Lu Guang: Did you just make that up?
Cheng Xiaoshi: No. I read it in a fortune cookie once.
Lu Guang:
Cheng Xiaoshi: A really long fortune cookie.
Lu Guang: Hello, my name is Failure, and you're watching my life crumble into pieces.
Lu Guang: *waves his finger and sings like they're in a Disney Channel intro*
Lu Guang after seeing Cheng Xiaoshi die once again:
Cheng Xiaoshi: Why is Qiao Ling making me do the dishes again? You haven’t washed them in a week, Lu Guang!
Lu Guang: It’s because I’m Qiao Ling’s favorite.
Cheng Xiaoshi: I hate you.
Lu Guang, also known as a universe destroyer for his 100% platonic bff: Why would you wanna save the galaxy? It's full of idiots anyway.
Cheng Xiaoshi: Because I'm one of the idiots that lives in it!
Lu Guang: Are you sure
Cheng Xiaoshi: WHOEVER CAUSED THIS MESS IS GOING TO-
Lu Guang: It was me...
Cheng Xiaoshi: ...Is going to be forgiven because everyone deserves a second chance.
This could work either way but I have you know what in mind
Lu Guang: I have an idea.
Qiao Ling: A good idea?
Lu Guang: Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Lu Guang after deciding he's not going to be left hoeless
Lu Guang: How do you tell someone that you wanna have sex with them in a polite way?
Cheng Xiaoshi: Excuse me Mx. Would you give me the honours of indulging in sexual activities with you?
Qiao Ling: What the fuck is wrong with you two?
Cheng Xiaoshi: Now, if I may speak for good-looking people everywhere...
Qiao Ling: Only as their rodeo clown.
In my defense all I'll say is that they are so siblings, your honor
Someone irrelevant, to Qiao Ling: Look at you! All cute and small! I could just eat you up!
Qiao Ling: *proceeds to kick them in the shin and run away*
Lu Guang, walking past: Rule number 1, don't call Qiao Ling cute or small.
I support the feral and armed with medical equipment Qiao Ling Agenda
Qiao Ling: In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
Captain Xiao: Wasn’t Cheng Xiaoshi with you?
Cheng Xiaoshi: In my defense, I was also left unsupervised.
Cheng Xiaoshi: Don't joke about murder. I was murdered once (several times) and it offends me.
Is the following one in character? No did the idea make me laugh? Yes.
Captain Xiao: *double checking supplies in the boat* Compass. CB radio. Sunscreen.
Qiao Ling: Hot dog costumes!
Captain Xiao: I’m sorry, what?
Qiao Ling: You know, in case we get lost at sea, and one of us, probably Lu Guang, goes mad with hunger, we’ll put these on. Lu Guang hates hot dogs, so they probably won’t eat us.
Captain Xiao: Are you saying that Lu Guang would rather eat us than hot dogs?
Lu Guang: I do hate hot dogs.
Qiao Ling: My goal is not to be the best, but to inspire someone enough to one day surpass me.
Cheng Xiaoshi: YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT EVERY TIME YOU BEAT ME AT CONNECT FOUR!
Cheng Xiaoshi: Every zoo is a petting zoo unless you’re a coward.
Lu Guang: I’m worried about you.
Cheng Xiaoshi: If I punch myself and it hurts, am I weak or strong?
Qiao Ling: Strong.
Captain Xiao: Weak.
Lu Guang: An idiot, is what your are.
Lu Guang: And here we see Qiao Ling and Cheng Xiaoshi in their natural habitat. Texting eachother variations of the word "garlic bread" to try to make eachother laugh.
Qiao Ling: Gaelic bread.
Cheng Xiaoshi: Grueling brad.
Qiao Ling: Ha ha, glamorous beans.
Sibling behavior
Qiao Ling: Seriously, all you do is bitch.
Lu Guang: I happen to bitch the perfect amount for someone in my situation.
He actually does
In my mind Captain Xiao is actually now their parent
Captain Xiao: Why do you think I don’t like you? I do. I would kill for you.
Captain Xiao: Ask me to kill for you.
Cheng Xiaoshi: ...First of all, calm down-
What I will always love about this man is he didn't even know them for more than a couple times and yet he never hesitated on helping them
Cheng Xiaoshi: A mosquito tried to bite me and I slapped it and killed it.
Cheng Xiaoshi: And I started thinking.
Cheng Xiaoshi: Like, it was just trying to get food.
Cheng Xiaoshi: What if I went to the fridge and it just slammed the door shut and snapped my neck?
Captain Xiao: Are you ok?
He isn't
Lu Guang: We all have our demons.
Lu Guang, grabbing Cheng Xiaoshi: This one’s mine.
And he isn't letting go
Cheng Xiaoshi: I regret nothing!!!
Lu Guang: I regret everything!!!
*insert the same old joke*
Cheng Xiaoshi: Look at me straight in the eyes and tell me the truth, Lu Guang!
Lu Guang: You can’t expect me to look into your eyes and be straight.
Lu Guang after the 3rd time travel:
Qiao Ling: You need a hobby.
Cheng Xiaoshi: I have a hobby!
Qiao Ling: Fawning over Lu Guang isn’t a hobby.
Cheng Xiaoshi after calling Lu Guang handsome for the 100th time
Qiao Ling: “Ladies and gentlemen” is unnecessarily gendered, overly formal, lengthy, and honestly, I’m falling asleep already. “Cowards” on the other hand, is inclusive to all genders, to the point, and dramatic.
Here I am again with my feral Qiao Ling agenda. I regret nothing
Cheng Xiaoshi: Lu Guang, you’ve tried 37 times and you’ve failed every time. Give it a break.
Lu Guang: DO I HEAR “FIRST TRY PART 38?”
I don't even have to repeat the joke do I?
Cheng Xiaoshi, seeing a banana on the car seat: What the FUCK??
Cheng Xiaoshi, buckling the banana up: Fucking buckle UP, it’s the LAW!
Tbh, I don't think he'd ever get a driving license in the first place, it would be too much of a hazard, but it is nice to dream
Captain Xiao: What's the most efficient way to burn calories?
Qiao Ling: Exercise more!
Cheng Xiaoshi: Set yourself on fire.
Lu Guang: There are two kinds of people.
Captain Xiao: *shatters a window and climbs through it*
Captain Xiao: *turns around and helps Cheng Xiaoshi through it* Breaking and entering is wrong Cheng Xiaoshi.
Cheng Xiaoshi: Okay.
*out grocery shopping*
Lu Guang: *takes a free sample twice*
Lu Guang: Robbery and Fraud. I am a Rebel.
I find that to be a bigger crime than breaking the entire universe tbh. At least in that he hasbhis homosexual tendencies to back him up
Captain Xiao: How do you type so fast?
Cheng Xiaoshi: Anxiety.
Lu Guang: What do I get?
Cheng Xiaoshi: A night of fashion, mischief, mayhem, and possible death.
Lu Guang: Ooh, check, check, and check; not sure about that last one.
Cheng Xiaoshi: It won't be me.
Lu Guang: I'll get my coat.
The joke will never get old will it? (It has, like 4 jokes ago, but I'm so unfunny I can't think of another one)
Qiao Ling: I did it! I memorized everything in the book! I'm gonna ace this test!
Cheng Xiaoshi: Ok, Qiao Ling, I'll give you one more question before you go. What ended in 1918?
Qiao Ling: 1917.
Cheng Xiaoshi: ...You're ready.
I love them a healthy amount

I love how you write Swiss & Dew & the waythey like to play pretty rough and mean but i am sooo convinced they have another side to them. Like, ok. Hear me out?
Dew feels worn out one hotel night & asks Swiss to treat him gently? Swiss can /totally/ manage that. Except, whenever that happens the pair of idiots (affectionate) end up "making love" in the most classical & then being shy about it the next day. Like, Swiss will destroy Dew emotionally & physically then in the morning it's as if nothing happend but one (1) night of eyecontact, missionarry, & pillow talk they turn into a pair of blushing maidens when their hands meet as they reach for the orange juice at the same time during breakfast.
Am i waaaay off base here? Does Swiss only specialise in the rough stuff?? Idk. i love them either way your honour.
Thank you so much! I'm hardly the first or only person to be writing them like this but I will admit it's so fun to write Swiss being an absolute bastard (positive) and Dew being angry about how much he enjoys it when that happens.
I am also one hundred percent a soft Swiss truther. I fully believe he wields different personas depending on the mood he's in. Why deny anything that gets him off, gets his packmates off? I adore your idea, so I'll share one of my own in return.
Order in the court!
Something gets mixed up, maybe a room is out of order for maintenance but the hotel is packed and no one's exactly willing to sleep on the floor. Dew and Swiss are put into the only room left: the hotel's honeymoon suite and Swiss gets a look in his eye that makes the hair on the back of Dew's neck stand up.
"Gimme the suitcases, honey." He drawls. "I don't want you tiring yourself out before I get my hands on you." He winks at the clerk. "Signed the papers right before we left but, y'know. No privacy on a bus. This works out great."
"Congratulations!" She beams. "Please let me know if you need anything!"
"Got everything I need right here," Swiss murmurs, staring dreamily at Dew, who is staring resolutely at the wall, face aflame.
The room isn't as bad as Dew thinks it is. Sure, the bed and the hot tub are heart shaped and there's a mirror on the ceiling but it comes with wine and chocolates that Swiss insists on getting into. A bath is run, Swiss dotes on Dew. But Dew can't shake the weird, squirmy feeling in his gut the whole ordeal gives him. Does he like being treated so soft, so gentle? He doesn't really know how to react to it, especially from Swiss.
They towel off and hit the sheets. Dew probably makes the first move just to distract himself from what's going on in his head and Swiss lets him. Keeps his hands on Dew's hips as they kiss and rock their hips together until Dew's a shivery, whining mess. At which point Swiss rolls them over, gets his hand around Dew's dick and whispers into his ear how he's gonna make him knot, get the little bulge of it all reddened and raw before Swiss will fuck him, watch his cock spurt out cum with every slow, gentle thrust deep into his little body. He's going to make Dew feel so good.
"Will you let me do it?" He murmurs. "Pretend it's your first time? Will you let me pop that sweet little cherry of yours?"
He squeezes around the base of Dew's cock so Dew can fully grasp what he means by that.
And Dew?
Dew makes the mistake of saying yes.
(It's the best and most confusing orgasm of his entire existence.)
(Everyone jeers at them when they're all on the bus the next morning. Someone twists aluminum foil into wedding rings but then everybody wants one and the next superstore they pass they demand a stupid sheet cake to celebrate "their" wedding.)
(There is absolutely a frosting fight.)

Have we considered alpha!Dream/alpha!Calliope with omega!Hob as their surrogate? I don't know if we have but I think we should.
Dream and Calliope want a child but it's difficult or impossible (what are rules in the omegaverse anyway if not a giant sandbox for us to play in) for an alpha couple to conceive, so they decide they will seek out an omega to carry their child.
Hob, who really wants to be a dad but whose life does not suit being a single parent, somehow gets in touch with them. They come up with an arrangement: Dream and Calliope will take care of Hob during his next heat (if you know what I mean) and they'll co-parent the child.
They were prepared for it taking a couple heats but Hob's heat is barely over when his scent starts to change. Calliope and Dream are very smug about it.
They are also very overbearing. They tend to Hob's every need and absolutely pamper him. He's growing their baby after all, it's the least they could do as alphas?
Is Desire pointing out that they are acting like Hob's alphas while all three of them are claiming it's not like that? Absolutely. Are they all pining? You bet. They're idiots your honour.
When Hob goes into labour a staff members makes the mistake of asking him if Dream and Calliope should leave. It's not their fault that it is unusual for anyone but the mate(s) to be in attendance for the birth, but that does not save them from Dream and Calliope's threats of decapitation. This is their omega bringing their child into the world and they will be there for him thank you very much.
Maybe they should have had the "wait you see me as your omega?" "you want us to be your alphas?" conversation in a setting that did not include pauses in the conversation wherein Hob is trying to breathe through the contractions, but they are all idiots.
The wait for Hob to be recovered and ready for a proper mating is absolutely agonising but at least they managed to get there.
It does not take long for Hob to move in and become pregnant with their second.
- 🍃
We have talked about this but we're gonna talk about it again because it's one of my favourite things.
Hob has been through various rocky relationships but he's in a place in his life where he really wants a baby, and he isn't getting any younger! At this point it feels like his only option to find an alpha couple who hopefully will treat him right. And he absolutely hits the jackpot with Dream and Calliope. They're perfect together and they also really want a baby, and they seem to be very liberal in their views about omegas, so Hob feels safe. The three of them discuss terms, and then it's time to start trying! No time like the present!
Hob is initially anxious that he won't get pregnant (he has been before but it was a long time ago and things change over time) but it turns out to be absolutely fine! Dream and Calliope give him the best heat experience he's ever had, and he feels so relaxed and safe it's probably no wonder that he's able to become pregnant so quickly. He's never had two alphas fuck him before and he legitimately sees stars when they both knot him.
He tries to stay out of the way once he's safely knocked up - the last thing he wants is to disrupt the alphas' marriage or be accused of homewrecking. But Calliope is so kind and gentle, and Dream is intense but incredibly sweet, and Hob gradually grows incredibly fond of them both.
One of my fave omegaverse tropes is that omegas have to be exposed to alpha pheromones to sustain a healthy pregnancy, so Hob is constantly being cuddled and petted by the two alphas. He tells himself that its all for the sake of the baby, but he can't help loving the attention. He's never felt loved like this before. Even if he only gets to co-parent with them, he's so grateful to have Calliope and Dream in his life. They encourage him, make him feel safe and reignite the best parts of his feisty personality.
The whole pregnancy has Dream and Calliope both dying to put their hands on their omega. Hob is the most beautiful thing in the world with his cute little waddle and his hands constantly holding his belly. Any opportunity for the two alphas to touch him is immediately accepted, and they dote on him by rubbing lotion onto his skin, helping him bathe, and massaging his sore feet. He feels utterly spoiled, but Dream and Calliope are just thrilled to be helping. The only time they argue or fight is when they're fighting over who gets to pamper Hob.
When they finally, finally figure everything out and bring Hob and the baby home from the hospital, there's an emergency cuddle pile for the four of them in the big queen sized bed. Hob immediately falls asleep in Calliope's lap, so tired and so sore but determined to be touched as much as possible. Dream cradles their newborn and Calliope just gazes between Hob and the baby with mega heart eyes. Their omega!! And their baby!!! They feel so incredibly lucky.
Just imagine how much they'll pamper and spoil Hob to make up for lost time. He's finally going to have the safe and happy life he deserves <3

Hi costume anon here!
How dare you so accurately call out my daddy issues and socially awkward arse 😖 (/j)! I would make a terrible Fire Lord but it’s good to know all those years of projection paid off, though now I’m head canoning Zuko as autistic (what have you done to me is this revenge?)
I personally want a Bloodborne tattoo oneday ngl though the outsiders mark is cool as fuck
I love your brain you have changed my view on the logistics (?) of how it would all go down!
Just imagine Ghost returning to systematically tear apart and destroy Dunwall like it was the Zaragoza cartel after he escapes to Karnaca and his family ended up paying the price for his “Treason”.
He becomes “the Outsiders Ghost” fully devoted to and for him people start whispering about what happened in Dunwall about how a dead man got revenge and how Rats and whale song swallowed an entire nation. Never anger the Outsiders lest his Ghost starts haunting you. (I love Spooky shit.)
Oh no! I made my friend rewatch DP That’s rough buddy (I regret nothing)
Speaking of DP, Gaz is a walking wifi modem and Soap is a portable power bank for his devices 😂 they stick to Ghost like glue on hot days you can not change my mind. The 141 would have the most terrifying reputation even though they’re all idiots.
Soap %100 has caused a black out and Gaz “accidentally” locked a general he didn’t like out of his house after he made Laswell and price mad.
Do you think Ghost would have to deal with the actual ghosts of soldiers would Soap and Gaz pick up on them too?
I can’t remember who said it but they head canoned Soap as lightning and ghost as rain and it changed something in my brain chemistry, good apart awe inspiring together (They were so right) and now I can’t get Sparky boom boom man out of my head I may need to rewatch atla.
Have a great day while I go off and try to regain my lost honour!
Hiiiiii Costume Anon! Thank you for gracing us with your presence!
Autistic!Zuko headcanon drop when friend? I wanna hear all his lil quirks and habits.
Thinking of FromSoft games, I've been thinking about an Ellen Ring AU. Idk if people would want it, but I just keep thinking about it. Ghost as the Tarnished, Soap as Ranni, Gaz as Melina. And it'd loosely follow my own playthrough of the games. Outside of Elden Ring, Bloodborn is my favorite of their games. It's so gooooodddd.
Even long after a believable lifespan has passed, rumors of The Outsider's Ghost doing his bidding circulate. Some believe it's an actual Ghost, others say he's The Outsider's lover that was granted eternity to be by his side. Either way, The Outsider and his Ghost are only mentioned in hushed whispers for fear of invoking their wrath.
DP AU, the 141 has a reputation for shit going sideways for their enemies before they're even on the base. Terrorists start resorting to defenses that don't rely on power or the internet because they see how effectively the 141 shuts that shit down. It doesn't help, their guerilla tactics don't effect Ghost. The team absolutely deals with the ghosts of fallen soldiers, but not as often as you'd think. They tend to stay where they died, or cross over, or go back to their families. Some though, will use their newfound deadness to be menaces, and those are the ones our boys deal with. Think Skulker or the Box Ghost, those types of problematic guys.
Duuuuude Sparky Boom Boom Man had such a cool bending ability. Personally I'd want to be a water bender, but fire bending is still the coolest form.
Good luck with your honor my (non gendered) Prince! Thanks again for humoring me 😁

Maribat Ships and My Vibe Explanations
These are based on the most popular tropes and scenarios I've seen particularly for a specific ship, but some are my own vision:) Moodboards I made for each ship, which are partially inspired by the below thoughts, are linked in the ship name.
Brucinette:
Boss x Secretary trope or Socialite meets Other Socialite and Both Discover each other is Less Shallow than they Thought
Alternatively,
Hero x Villain Love story.
Look, we all know Bruce has a bad track record with his Rogues and also Love in general
Black Cat Mari is the most popular, probably, but I think we should see more Villain/ Morally Grey Mari with other Miraculi
Not my favourite ship but it can be fun
Particularly when we add Dad Bruce and Mari gets to adopt the Batkids and be a Cool MomTM.
Dickinette:
Often a Villain x Hero romance, usually Black Cat Marinette and Nightwing.
A good trope to be sure, but I think we should spice it up more.
Vampire Dick Truthers (you know who you are) have a point with their Vampire Dick and Mari fics. Why not make Dick the villain in Mari's Rogue Gallery???
Overall a great trope, especially if you really delve into their characters: both are 'sunshine' characters who fight everyday to be the nice, kind heroes everyone thinks they are and expects them to be, even though it's the hardest route to take.
Jasonette:
(I'm biased as it's my #1 Maribat ship, but I'll try not to go on too long >.<)
Villain x Hero? Hero x Hero? Amazing, outstanding. What about Villain x Villain? I myself would love to see more Rogue Jason and Rogue Mari fics.
Any AU is amazing. I admit to having a fondness for Mob Boss Jason, partly because he is one in canon, at least for a while, and because I'm addicted to dark/mafia romance novels. Lieutenant Mari? Yes, please. Rival Mob Boss Mari? Heck yeah! Bat-affiliate Mari? Gimme. Please.
The amount of character exploration you could do if you wrote a romance where they actually stayed together, looking at you, DC is intriguing. Would Jason change for someone he loved? Would he give up crime lording? Would Mari accept him anyways but then they'd have to deal with one half running from the law/vigilantes and the other half being on the vigilantes' side?
Also, soft Jason. Nerding out over books and music and fashion and appreciating the fine things in life and meeting this cute fashion designer with a penchant to listen to Jagged Stone-
So many AU opportunities!! Bakery AU! Mafia AU! Coffee Shop AU! Meetcute at the Museum AU!...
Okay I'll move on now:(
Timari:
LISTEN
This ship IS THE DEFINITION OF THE CEO X SECRETARY TROPE!
I need more, I don't care if it's overused
Also, rival hackers or geniuses.
OR COFFEE SHOP AU
They're both coffee monsters, it's perfect
No I don't care that there are two dozen coffee shop Timari AUs, give me more.
Daminette:
ACADEMIC RIVALS TO LOVERS
Or just rivals to lovers is fine too
YOU REALLY THINK THESE TWO 'MUST BE THE TOP IN CLASS' WOULDN'T BE FIGHTING OVER GRADES AND THEN PAIRED UP ON AN ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO INTENSE TO WORK WITH ANYONE ELSE AND THEN THEY HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER AT ALL TIMES LEST THE OTHER SABOTAGE THEIR PROJECT AND THEN THEY FALL IN LOVE-
anyways
I'm not even into HP but I want a Hogwarts AU with these two-
or any dark academia rivals to lovers au
Roynette:
Enemies or Rivals to Lovers
It's just a simple misunderstanding, as all large rifts start off with.
There's a translation issue or an eavesdropping that is taken out of context
(they're both idiots your honour)
But then something happens and they have to work together or they're made to talk and they realize it's all just a misunderstanding
And then they're like... " while we're clearing the air...so uh, I kinda have a crush on you'
"no way, me too!!"
And Mari meets Lian (or maybe that's what starts this, Jason and Mari are hanging out babysitting Lian and Roy comes to pick Lian up and they start talking and and and-)
And Mari loves Lian immediately of course, who wouldn't?
And so Roy likes her more because she likes Lian so automatically she's not as bad as he thought, and Lian really likes her too
And then they fall in love and Jason and Lian are the master matchmakers behind the scenes
You can pry OTP Jason & Lian setting up Roynette out of my cold dead hands
Konette:
I haven't seen or read a ton of Konette, but they usually meet at the Titans
Friends to Lovers 100%
They're both quiet and new and feeling out the dynamics
so they're often pushed together on purpose or by accident because the others are just so loud and chaotic
And then they become BFFs and are less inclined to join the others' chaos and so spend more time together, and so the cycle continues
And then one day something happens
Kon is Kryptonian and Mari had the Miraculous, they're usually the least-damaged members, but something happens, there's Kryptonite or magic or Something and one or both gets hurt.
The other jumps in front of them to take the blow because they can't let the other get hurt
"Why did you do that?!"
"I couldn't let you get hurt. You need to save our teammates."
Then the hurt one faints or passes out and the other confesses and thinks they can't hear them
They get back to the Tower safely and get treated and wake up and then they see the other
"Did you say you loved me, when I was passed out?"
"You heard that? Uh...yeah, I love you."
"I love you too!"
I haven't read much of any of the other ships to get a good feel on them, so I'm stopping here:)

I have never watched a single James bond movie (I followed for merthur) but I thought since you had such good taste with Merlin fics I should try out a 00q fic just to see what's up and now I've done nothing but delve deeper and deeper in 00q fic for the past few weeks (already read all the ones off your masterlist and am now perusing ao3 on my lonesome) 😭
So thank you! But also goddamn 😂
I will however ask if you know any good amnesia/memory loss fics? For both of them?? ❤️❤️❤️
ahhh thank you im glad you enjoyed my recs
00q
Remember Me by Jen (ConsultingWriters) (@consultingwriters)
Bond has lost his memory. Q has lost his love.
"What have I forgotten?” Bond asked; Q watched him, trying to find the James he knew.
“Nothing that you won’t work out on your own, if it’s really important,” Q said carefully, before returning every fraction of his attention to the computer in front of him.
~~~
ahhh the ending!!!
2. Upon Remembering by secondstar
Surrounded by faces he no longer recognizes, Bond finds solace in Q's voice.
~~~
q is the voice in his ear q is the voice in his mind ahhhhhh i cant i cant i cant
3. Take It All, But Not My Love by withthekeyisking (@withthekeyisking-writer)
"You know, I thought about doing this to you, and I thought about doing it to Dr. Swann. But then I realized - hurting you would not compare to hurting the one you love. And though you put up a good show, Dr. Swann isn't the one you love. He is."
~~~
the genre is HURT
merthur
That Burning Torch of Kingship by Imagined (@burglarhobbit)
He always wakes up with his heart pounding out of his chest in the middle of the night, when he has the dreams, and loathes his father more than anything when he does. He only recalls a flash of midnight blue eyes; perfectly arched lips that could tilt into a disrespectful grin; unblemished pale hands that touched, touched, touched.
But at least he remembers on those days, even if the dreams fade. All Arthur is left with is this crushing sense of loss and the cursive glances of the court; they all whisper of the prince who loved a sorcerer so much that the king resorted to magic to make him forget. The heresy. The hypocrisy. The burning shame; Arthur is the one who can still meet his father’s gaze and his father is the one who drops his own.
This is not the king that Arthur will be.
~~~
in this house we hate uther
2. ask me why (my heart's inside my throat) by Scarlet_Ribbons (@silk-scarlet-ribbons)
“You’re hurt.”
“What gave you that impression,” Arthur says as he smiles at another couple, this pair far less egregious than the first. “I’m doing perfectly alright.”
Merlin snorts. “The next time you lie, my Lord, perhaps try to be more convincing?”
[Arthur's overcome with a temporary bout of amnesia. He has no idea why Merlin's acting so odd, but knowing him, it can't be good.]
~~~
fdhaskhlj they're so cute
3. Rubbing Wine Stains Into Rugs by PinkGold (@sparkly-angell)
For the prompt: Merlin gets a bad head injury and forgets that King Arthur doesn't know about his magic yet.
"My head is just fine, your highness."
Arthur snorted good naturally, "It's your majesty, you idiot."
Merlin's thoughts all came into a screeching halt. "When did you become king?"
~~~
they're in love your honour

how would d word matty text girlies ex. that wants them back?
i changed your request slightly bit still on the vibe!! i think he'd let you try to handle it first - you try to let the ex down gently (maybe you still have mutual friends with them or some shit and you don't wanna be awkward), but they're persistent and delulu and will not take a telling even when you genuinely give up being nice and straight-up tell them to never contact you again. but still, they try calling you. matty looks at you when your phone rings and says "may i?", and you're like "if you want to"; he answers and the first thing he says is "i thought my girlfriend told you to fuck off", and despite your exasperation you can't help but smirk. and you can't quite hear what your ex is saying, but you piece it together from matty's responses - he stays so calm, almost bored, while he says stuff like "i know for a fact she doesn't want you, mate. oh, you 'know' she does? has she said that to you recently, or are you just assuming?... you just 'know' it, alright. and have you ever stopped to think to yourself that maybe that was why she left you in the first place, the fact you kept making assumptions about what she wanted instead of asking her, or even - god forbid - letting her tell you? no? well, there you go then". and because it's matty and he can't help himself, he adds "because, my god, she knows what she wants. me, incidentally - she tells me it multiple times a day" and apologetically mouths "sorry" to you; you wave it off (because it's sexy and also true) and smile as he continues like "she never did that with you? sucks to be you, then, cos it's fun, believe me. and surely that tells you what she's been trying to get through that stupid head of yours all along - she doesn't want you. at all. ever. got it? good. now fuck off out of our lives right now, or i genuinely will get you done for harassment. and that's a promise" and hangs up. immediately, he hugs you like "i'm sorry i alluded to our sex life there", and you take his face in your hands like "nah, it worked. and it was hot. actually, what you just did was maybe the hottest thing you've ever done. defending my honour! i feel like a princess"; matty giggles and kisses you like "you know you are, you're my princess", and you're like "i love you, idiot. thank you for helping me with that. m'sorry it got to that point", and matty's like "hey, hey, it's alright, sweetheart. i love you, and i'll do whatever it takes to make you happy. i'd defend your honour anytime lol" <3

by SceneKing69
Jason wakes up to a surprise a few days before Valentine's day. Damian makes him breakfast, takes him on a date, and then asks an important question.
“Here, let’s sit.” He nudges the big man towards the table and Jason reluctantly pulls away to sit. Once Damian is in reach, he tugs him into his lap earning giggles from the teen. One more kiss to the cheek and then he’s digging in. He pauses a few times to feed Damian pancake bites, knowing it’s the only thing vegan. It’s nice. He loves the domesticity of it, enjoying the silence as they coexist. His hand is back to rubbing against the other’s hip. They don’t say anything, just sit there with each other, letting the silence wash over them in comfort. Jason loves these moments when he gets to just hold his partner. When they don’t have any pressing matters, no bank robberies, no crime rings, no Batman, or Justice League. He loves it when it’s just Damian and Jason.

Top 5 of your original characters! 😀
Ah, where to start!
This obviously tends to change a lot, so this is just a reflection of whichever idiots stand out to me at the moment!
1 + 2: Lotus and Hadriel:
Lotus (left) and Hadriel (right) really examplify that black cat/golden retriever relationship dynamic.
Lotus is a bit of an ice queen, left a little emotionally stunted by a tough childhood, and also a master of snark. Hadriel on the other hand is a chaotic disaster bisexual, party boy supreme and notorious manslut 😂
Lotus might think Hadriel is an obnoxious idiot, but he is HIS obnoxious idiot.
These are my go-to comfort characters, and I often fall asleep playing scenes of domestic fluff or snarky banter between them in my head.
Also, Hadriel is by far my favourite character to draw, and the character I bring up the most in casual conversations. He's just FUN!
Dropping this beautiful drawing you did of them here as a bonus. Look at my precious babies! 🥰
3: Sabreas
Sabreas may have been born as an outlet for a past hyperfixation with the history of eunuchs (imagine the internet search history that left me with!), but he's grown into so much more than that.
If nothing else, he is prime punching bag material!
Life serves him a lot of genuinely horrible, tragic garbage, but he's just enough of a spoiled brat that you don't feel too bad punching down on him.
Sabreas is all righteous anger and brittle pride, motivated by pure spite. He's also one of the rare characters of mine that get to have some genuinely badass magic powers, which definitely adds to his coolness factor!
4. Tala
Tala is a relatively new addition to the cast of characters rotating in my brain, but she's been occupying my mind a lot lately.
Tala is Sabreas wife, and although their marriage began as a politically motivated arranged union, they end up developing a very beautiful partnership.
Tala is a woman who knows what she wants, and she's not afraid to get it, so when she decides that what she wants is Sabreas, he really doesn't stand a chance (I think she and Relonia would get along well! ((I also think they should kiss)))😁
5. Kharim
The thing I love most about this guy is his dynamic with Sabreas.
Sabreas really tests his patience at times, especially throughout those edgiest, brattiest late teenage years, but Kharim can't deny he gets a kick out of goading him on.
At the same time, there's definitely a certain amount of respect there.
While Kharim may be Sabreas's superior (and also able to physically squash him like a bug), Sabreas's powers make those power dynamics more than a little blurry, and it's a good thing they're both just honourable enough to respect the terms of their contract.
Also, the danger kinda turns him on.
Commission by @chotomy who captured these idiots and their dynamic perfectly! 🥰
Thank you for allowing me to ramble about my idiot children!
I love them all so much! ❤
