A fun cubs come out fic!

Characters and their world by @lumosinlove

@im-oknutzy-trash - here you go!

(Just one last note - there is one scene with a little spicy quip but it doesn’t get in any way explicit :))

“I’m home!” Finn called as he came through the door to their apartment, duffle bag falling off his shoulder and crashing into the door.

“Wow.” Logan commented, coming over to help him. “Home for less than a minute and you’re already trying to wreck the place.”

“Oh hush.” Finn said, dropping his bags and pulling Logan in by the waist. “Hello to you too.”

Logan grinned and went soft, leaning into Finn’s kiss. “How was Alex?”

They moved away from the door to the couch, Logan setting Finn’s bag aside to be dealt with later.

“Good, Kase and Nat are going out to see him in a few days so he was all excited.”

Logan laughed, kicking off his shoes to curl his feet under him. “Now that I get.”

Finn smiled and glanced around. “Where’s Leo?”

“He just had to pop out to the shop. We’re out of milk. He should be back soon though.”

Finn nodded, looking down at his hands, fiddling with his fingernails. “Hey Lo?”

“Yeah?”

“I was thinking about… well what if… So like, you know Cap and Loops, right?”

Logan raised an eyebrow. “Our teammates? Yeah I think I’m vaguely familiar with them.”

Finn huffed, rolling his eyes. “Wow sassy. You know that’s not what I meant.”

Logan tilted his head to the side in acquiescence, letting Finn continue.

“I want to be like them.” Finn said quickly. “Can we be like them?”

He watched Logan frown for a moment, trying to figure out the difference between Remus and Cap and them. “Wait,” He murmured, eyes meeting Finn’s. “Do you mean?”

Finn nodded. “Yeah. I think maybe we’re ready?”

Logan opened his mouth to respond, but was interrupted by Leo coming in.

“Hey Lo!” He said, without even looking around yet. “I got milk and that bread you like. Did Finn message you yet, he definitely should have landed by now.”

Leo reached the counter, putting the milk in the fridge before turning around and finally noticing the two boys in the room.

“I think his flight landed.” Logan said dryly, watching Leo take in Finn’s presence.

“Hi baby.” Finn said, with a smile, truly grinning when Leo left the shopping bag half-empty and came over to kiss him hello instead.

“Hi.” Leo said, slipping into the gap between his two boys. “I missed you.”

Finn heard himself make a pleased noise as he leaned in to kiss Leo again. “Missed you too.”

“So,” Leo said as he pulled away, pulling Logan’s feet onto his lap. “What’re we talking about?”

Finn met Logan’s green eyes, pausing for a moment. “Um, I uh…”

Logan kicked his foot forward to nudge it against Finn’s thigh. “I got it Harzy.” He then turned to Leo. “We were thinking, maybe it’s time for us to come out? It’d be nice I think, not having to hide.”

Finn watched Leo carefully as the younger boy blinked in surprise before a small smile took over his face.

“Yeah,” He breathed, looking between Logan and Finn. “Yeah that would be nice.” He bit his lip, looking smug and mischievous and Finn thought he might be falling in love all over again. “But I think we should have some fun first.”

****

Logan stumbled off the bus wearily - that four hour bus ride had just seemed to go on forever. Reporters stood outside the door to the hotel, despite the cold and the late hour but Logan leaned into Leo’s side anyways, Leo’s arm around his shoulder, Logan’s hand beneath his jacket. Photographers went wild, cameras shuttering quickly and Logan hid his smile in Leo’s jacket. This was going to be a whole lot of fun.

****

Leo looked up as Marlene entered the locker room, glancing around to see who might be ready and available for an interview. Leo caught her eye and waved her over.

“Hey Leo, how about a quick video for social media? I won’t keep you longer than five minutes.”

Leo smiled, he didn’t mind, this was all a part of their plan, the team and the rest of the staff had been made somewhat aware. Plus, he liked Marlene so he never had a problem with the interviews. “Sure.”

“Okay great!” She gave him a thumbs up as she started recording. “So, just last night, pictures of you and Logan Tremblay were released as you got off the bus - have you anything to say about them?”

Leo nodded, grinning. “Don’t forget James photobombing in the background. I think he was going for a ‘bunny ears’ effect but it ended up looking like he was doing it to Kasey instead. I think I need to get a copy framed.”

Marlene laughed, moving on. “So you and Logan are close then?”

Leo looked around the room comically. “What? You mean right now? Cause He’s in the PT room so a lot of the guys are closer.”

Marlene bit her lip, her eyes sparkling. “How do you feel about this game then?”

Leo sat back, finally going to answer a question honestly. “I’m feeling good. We’ve had a great start this season and I’m pretty confident.”

Marlene gave him another thumbs up and headed off to go chat to some of the other guys. A few stalls over, Finn met Leo’s eyes and blew him a kiss.

*******

“The media seems to have calmed down a bit.” Logan commented as they all sat at home watching a movie. “Think it’s time for our next one?”

“Ooh, yes!” Finn enthused. “I call being in this one.”

Logan laughed and pulled out of the way so he could take a picture of Finn kissing Leo’s cheek, Leo’s face all scrunched up in a smile.

“There you go, post it.”

Finn grinned, going to Instagram and putting up the picture with the caption ‘Days like this’ before tagging Leo for good measure.

“That should entertain them for a couple of days.” He said, satisfied as he tossed his phone to another chair and leaned back into Logan’s warmth, kissing the spot just below his ear.

“You and me next baby,”

****

Leo Knut and Finn O’Hara?

More than one couple in the Lion’s Den?

Knut cheating on Tremblay?

Logan laughed as he scrolled through the headlines and posts from fan accounts, taking screenshots of some of the art of them that had already begun to bubble up. Thomas was on the other side of him, watching a video of a fan analysing the teams interactions, trying to figure out who was actually in a relationship, laughing every few minutes.

“Knutty,” Logan called, summoning Leo. “Look at this one.”

Leo took his phone and read the caption out loud. “Knut’s betrayal making Tremblay tremble?” He looked up and met Logan’s eyes, his face blank. “I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.”

“I do!” Finn interrupted, coming up behind Logan and wrapping his arms around his boyfriend’s waist. “Okay Lo, you hold up the article, now someone take our picture please!”

Logan ginned and relaxed into Finn as James snapped them together before posting it to his own account. ‘Doesn’t seem to be trembling to me.”

****

“I’m gonna go get some coffee, do you guys wanna come?” Leo said, the three of them still lying in bed. Finn shook his head, still mostly asleep, but Logan perked up.

“From the café down the street?”

Leo nodded, laughing when Logan was up like a shot, pulling on his clothes.

“We’ll bring you back some, okay sweetheart?” Leo said as he leaned over the bed once more to kiss Finn goodbye. Finn just nodded and burrowed deeper into the duvet.

“Love you.” He mumbled and the two boys left him to his dreams, slipping out of the room quietly.

They walked down the street, hand in hand, going mostly unnoticed by the public. It was still early and a Sunday, so there weren’t too many people up and about, but even those that were paid them very little attention. It was easy to forget, in moments like this, that they had entire fan pages dedicated to them and many days they weren’t even recognised on the street.

They got their coffee and drank it there, holding hands over the table outside the front door, watching the people passing by and chatting idly. Leo thought he spotted someone taking a not-so-discreet picture of them, but they didn’t care. Logan went inside to grab Finn’s cup to go and Leo lounged in the sunshine for a moment, breathing in the cool, sharp air.

He opened his eyes to find Logan standing over him, looking down amusedly. “D’accord, mon choupinet?"

Leo smiled and stood up, stretching lazily. “Oui.”

They came back home to Finn still in bed, and joined him under the covers while he sipped his coffee.

“Oh, look we’re back in the headlines.” Leo commented as he angled his phone for them both to see. A photo of Leo and Logan from just a half hour ago stared back at them, Logan laughing at something Leo had said.

“That’s such a cute picture,” Finn noted, putting on his glasses to take a closer look. “You should save that.”

Knut and Tremblay reunited? No news yet on how O’Hara is taking this latest blow.

“O’Hara would be doing fantastic if he had another kind of blow.” Finn grumbled, then blushed when he realised he had spoken out loud. “I mean-”

“Oh, we know what you meant.” Logan said, taking the nearly empty coffee cup from Finn and setting it on the nightstand as Leo eased Finn back, slipping under the covers as Logan captured his lips. “And that can be arranged.”

****

“So when do you guys think you’ll let them know what’s actually happening?” Remus asked Leo as he helped the blond boy with his stretching.

Leo bit his lip as he thought. “I don't know? Soon maybe though, because this is fun and all but I’m tired of being analysed all the time now. At least if we tell them the truth, they’ll be chasing after us for a couple of weeks but then it’ll all settle down and be nice and quiet again, you know?”

Remus nodded, smirking when Leo took a sharp intake of breath as he pushed his legs a little further apart. “Yeah for sure. It’ll be pure chaos for a bit, but then they’ll quickly move onto the next big thing, I promise.”

Leo nodded, a little lost in thought. “Yeah, I’m ready to have a bit of privacy again. I think I’ll say it to the boys tonight.”

Remus nodded and pushed Leo a little further, laughing when Leo cursed under his breath.

“Fuck, if I’m alive after all this that is.”

****

“Alright, we’re doing this so?” Logan confirmed, making sure everyone was in agreement.

“Yup.” Leo said, popping the ‘p’.

“It’s time.” Finn confirmed as they all pulled up the same picture they had chosen to post - a photo of the three of them taken at a party at Dumo’s. Logan sitting in Leo’s lap, head tilted up as he kissed Finn who was handing them their drinks.

“Captions ready?” Finn asked and the other two nodded. “Okay. Three,”

“Two,” Leo said.

“One.” Logan breathed and they all clicked ‘post’ at the same time.

The next day, all the headlines were their Instagram captions-

Leo and Logan.

Finn and Leo.

Logan and Finn.

(Three’s not a crowd).

Air Pressure

Prompt: Janis and Damian hurt/comfort bc sometimes Janis feels sad for no reason😳😳😳 We said A N G S T 😳 (except I also added nice Regina bc it's my fic and I can do what I want.)

It's just one of those days where everything hits hard I guess.

I saw a post somewhere that said if there was no air pressure, rain would fall all at once in a thick sheet of water and kill us.

I don't know how accurate that is, but it's pretty representative of how my day is going.

Instead of getting hit with negative sparingly throughout the day with positive things to regulate it, there is no positive, and my emotions just hit me like a wall.

Which is fucking great when you're sitting in English class.

The perfect time to just, break down is while you learn about The Raven, I guess.

I raise my hand to ask to leave the room, earning a sharp glare from my teacher when he has to stop reading to pick on me.

"May I go to the bathroom?" I ask, my voice wavering.

He must pick up on it because he just nods.

I scoop up my bag and run out of the room. Its the first of my three tiny periods in a row and then I have a class with just Damian before I can go home. That's four periods to long.

I make my way into the school's tiny bathroom and pull myself into the back stall. I cover my mouth to muffle a sob, I don't really know why I'm crying, but the overwhelming sinking feeling in my chest won't disappear.

I hear high heels clicking as they walk into the bathroom. "Janis? I saw you run in here."

I guess dying for 15 seconds really does change a person because Regina had been working hard to be my friend again. I don't know if we're 'watching each other have breakdowns' close yet.

"I know you're here Jan. You can't hide from me."

Well, that's mildly threatening.

I freeze as footsteps approach the stall I'm in.

Regina knocks on the door but it just slowly swings open, revealing me sitting next to the toilet, curled up.

Stupid broken locks.

"Oh, Janis." Regina crouched down next to me. "What's wrong?"

I shook my head. "Nothing specific, just sad, I guess."

Regina nods. "I know the feeling. And that's okay." She looks like she has more to say, but doesn't.

She simply steps into the stall with me and slides down the wall opposite of me.

This feels like the start of a bad porno.

We sit in silence for a bit and I have to admit, Regina's presence is actually really comforting.

I try to slow the tears since somebody else is here, but Regina doesn't comment. She simply reaches across the small space between us and rests her hand on my knee comfortingly.

I give a teary-eyed smile at the action.

"Thanks." I say softly, "but you need to get back to class."

"I do," Regina agrees. "But I'm not leaving you to have a breakdown alone in the bathroom." She pauses for a moment, as if considering something. "Pass me your phone."

"What?"

"Today clearly isn't your day, you're not doing too hot and shouldn't be left alone, but, you're right- I gotta go to class. Let me text Damian."

"I'm not dragging him out of class because I can't get my emotions in check." I say glumly.

Regina tsks and grabs my bag, pulling my phone out despite my protests.

"Really, Janis? Same password since middle school?"

"I don't normally have people trying to go through my phone," I say, but I don't have the energy to fight Regina about texting Damian. "He's trying to get an education, yknow. Don't bother him." I say, but trying the change Regina Geroge's mind is futile.

"I may not know Damian personally but he seems like the type of person who wants to know when his friends are hurting." Regina says typing away on my phone.

I hear it ding instantly and I wipe my eyes.

Regina place my phone back in my bag, seemingly happy with whatever response she got before standing up and holding out her arm as an offer to help me up.

I take it.

"Let's go. Regina says pulling me up.

"Where?" I glance down at our hands, she didn't let go, instead, she opted to dragging me down the hall.

"To meet Damian, duh."

The closer we get to tiny pick up zone the more my stomach twists.

I frown, now he's gonna worry about me and not go to class and that's my fault and-

"Hey, Janis." Regina stops suddenly. "If you don't want to see Damian we don't have to, I'm sorry I texted him."

What? Oh. I'm crying again.

"No, its- I'm fine. I just-"

"You don't have to explain yourself." Regina pulls me into a hug. It's tense, we really aren't at the whole helping each other emotionally part. But its also my first real hug from another tiny in a while.

So I'll take it.

It feels nice, being able to return as much as I receive in a hug.

My face just feels permanently wet today, it really is one of those days.

Like everything is getting triggered by period hormones minus the cramps and blood.

We continue our walk to where the giant hall meets the tiny hall and see Damian already there.

"Hey, Damian," Regina says, passing me my backpack.

I wave to him, and the second Damian registers the tears on my face, I'm being scooped up and held to his chest without a word.

"Thanks, Regina." He says.

I grip onto his shirt, willing the tears not so spillover.

"Of course, Damian. I know Karen or Gretchen would want somebody to do it for me."

I'm to busy with my face is Damian's shirt and my eyes squeezed shut to see Regina walk away, but just as I heard her coming, I can hear the clicking of her heels grow distant.

Damian doesn't pull me away, he just holds me there for a bit, not saying anything.

I can feel him rocking on his heels a bit, and if its a method of soothing me- it's working.

After a while, I think I stop crying. Keyword is think. My whole face is still damp but I let go of his shirt and push away a bit. Damian takes the hint and pulls his hands back, letting me fall into his palms.

"What's got you worked up?" He asks. His eyes are swimming with concern and guilt hits me hard.

If I could just be a bit better at dealing with my shit Damian would be learning in class as students should.

"I don't-" I take a breath. "I don't know."

Damian nods. "That's okay."

I nod. Its something Regina had said earlier and something I had heard many times before. But hearing it from Damian felt like the most reassuring thing in the world.

I try not to sniffle. "You have a class to go back to. You can put me down."

Damian shook his head. "Hon, the bell is gonna ring any second, we've been standing here for a while. And I'm not letting you go back to class when you're clearly tired and not in a great mental space."

The bell is gonna ring?

Wow.

"You can't skip class, Damian," I say, standing up on his palms.

"I won't be the one skipping."

"Huh?"

Oh.

Before I can even protest, Im boing shifted into one hand, Damian already using the other to clip the white pin on his jacket.

"Are you sure? I don't wanna be annoying or get in your way or anything. You already do so much for me and I just don't wanna be a bother, its just one bad day I can hide in the bathroom again I’ll be fine-" Before I know it, words are just tumbling out of my mouth. "Cuz like, I'm tiny and I can't do anything myself and I don't want to be a nuisance or-"

"Janis."

"Yeah?"

"You're not annoying or a nuisance or getting in the way."

"Okay." I say softly, looking down.

Damian chuckles. "I like having you in my pockets. It's a reassurance that you're safe."

I feel my face flush under the love and care. "Okay."

"Okay?"

"Yeah."

The bell rings and Damian pulls me close to his chest as student file out of classrooms.

Its the hallway so there's no need to hide me yet, but it's dangerous as always. I press my back against Damian's chest as I watch students pass us. Some notice me, others don't. Most could care less.

I watch Shane Omen pass with Aaron on his shoulder. Aaron is gripping onto Shane's shirt as tight as possible, and it brings me a small bit of reassurance to know I'm not the only tiny with hallway anxiety.

Damian makes it to his classroom and wordlessly slips me into his pocket. He taps the pocket lightly, which I’ll never understand why he does it, and goes on with his education as he normally would.

Skipping three classes is gonna be a bitch to explain to my parents, but I would rather explain this to them then go to class crying.

Damian's heart beats steadily to my right as I hear his teacher begin talking.

Yeah, there are bad days where it feels like the sheet of rain is slamming into me, killing me on the spot, but I'll always have Damian to be my air pressure to regulate the droplets.

Its a common thing in my fics, but don't skip class bbys, learning is essential

Trading Stories

Hey guys. Writing for the Together AU has been hard recently, mostly because there’s a lot of violence in the story (a lot of riots at one point) and it’s pretty hard to write that when there are riots going on in real life. I’m not sure if it’s disrespectful to write about them when they’re happening for real. I also don’t want people to have the impression that I’m encouraging the violence.

At the moment, I’m on the third chapter of the second draft (and wow, my writing is so much better with another draft.) and thought I’d share a part of the rough draft - it’s a conversation I wrote nearly a month ago that will get changed later.

This seemed a bit relevant for the present time. Warning: Long post, a dead body, and references to violence/class differences.

Trading looks, the adults sighed but surprisingly, didn't seem upset with Orion. Even the Glitch Mob mech just shook him helm tiredly. Something of Orion's thought process or apprehension must have shown on his face as an older femme chuckled at him. “Aw, don't be like that mech. We ain't gonna bite chou 'cause yer runnin' with Jazz's crews. We already knew yah were with 'em anyway. Yer symbol ain't exactly hidden.”

“I wasn't sure if you would be upset that Jazz hasn't solved all this yet or not. The other gangs seem to be laying all the blame at his pedes.” He admitted, having forgotten the symbol on his shoulder. To be fair, the glow paint barely showed under the dust and grime coating his frame.

A couple people actually snorted at his admission. One gestured broadly, a little wobbly and out of sorts. “They don't get to- get to throw blame when they ain't doin' no better. Honestly, what they gonna do? Only so much you can fight when they're sendin' so many enforcers down here.”

“Could be worse.” Someone added solemnly, making a gesture over their spark.

Several others copied the gesture to ward off bad luck. Another settled morosely against a broken crate piped up. “It ain't ever been this bad before though, has it? They never got down this far.”

“How often do riots like this happen?” Ironhide asked.

Orion glanced at him. He'd have thought the mech would stay quiet to avoid notice but the Ironhide appeared calm. The locals didn't seem to care that he wasn't one of them either. Perhaps being with a mech under Edgerunner protection gained him some leniency. Or the fact that he'd helped save them.

A shaky old mech, unassuming as could be, straightened in the creaky chair he'd snagged and took on a storyteller's voice. “Not as often as you'd think. The worst ones were a real long time ago, back when the Darklight didn't even have a name an' was a lot smaller. The lawmechs didn't like how many of us there were an' how we were growin' so they'd march in to make sure we weren't breakin' the law none. An' if folks got dead or disappeared during that time, well, who were we gonna tell about it?”

Ironhide face shifted, turning from exhaustion to quietly concealed rage as some of the younglings scooted closer to listen in and the old mech continued. “That's why we started buildin' down instead of up. They don't like when they can see how many of us there are. Not that any of us here were around then, ah don't think.”

He looked around the group with a smirk. A few people chuckled and some of the younglings exaggeratedly shook their helms 'no'. Orion stifled a grin.

“They've only tried barging in a few times, since the beginning.” Sitting with her back to a pole, a larger femme stroked the unconscious face of a mech settled in her lap. Surprisingly, Orion could see wings on her back. They were big enough that she could have been a shuttle and he couldn't help but wonder how a flight frame came to live down here where mostly cargo and racer frames roamed. “I don't think they ever got further than the second level.” She looked at the old mech for confirmation. Grimly, he shook his helm.

“No. They never have.”

“You were in the last one?” The youngling with the missing arm piped up, looking at the big femme. “Mah creator was but he didn't tell meh much an' he's dead now.”

“Hmm,” She shifted to get more comfortable and nodded, “Last one was a good hundred vorns ago or something. Don't rightly remember. But it was way before your time. It was bad but not bad like this 'cause they only did the surface. I know a couple patrols tried coming down here but they didn't make it back up.”

“Anybody remember that goodie shop, on the corner of Hololite Square by Fracture's shop?” Asked the old mech.

A number of sighs answer him. Someone hummed, “Daybreak an' Cinnabar's place?”

“Oooh, I remember them.” The Glitch Mob mech smiles, “They had the best oil cakes around. Even better than anythin’ in Polyhelix.”

A youngling asks,“They're dead?” The little frames had steadily and sneakily gotten closer to the group as the adults talked. Orion noted most had cuts or cracked plating, faces lean and hungry looking. But at the moment, they were distracted by the old stories.

“Yeah, surface level during the last riot.”

“Didn't even fight none.” Growled the flier femme. “Everybody knew those two didn't get involved in no street fights or gangs or nothin'! Weren't their fault they didn't have the creds to get a shop in Polyhelix proper!”

The conversation almost stalled as no one had anything to say to that, so Orion brought up something he'd been wondering. “Is Fracture's place really that popular? A lot of people seem to know him.”

That sent a wave of chuckles around the room. The lounging mech outright laughed, high and sharp. “Darlin', everybody knows Fracture! He's the reason we got crystals growin' outta ever crack, hole in the wall, and even our own platin’ if we don't watch 'im close enough! That mech keeps plantin' seed crystals everywhere.” Orion startled, unsure if the mech was exaggerating or not.

“It's like he's tryin' tah turn this place into a fraggin' garden!” Another moaned.

The old mech snorted. “At least some are edible. Free snacks right there.”

“Yeah, he puts tags by those so folks know if they can eat 'em.” A mech nodded in agreement. “Primus, I love the hematite shavings in plain energon. That's good stuff right there.”

“Reverie.” A younger mech whispered, looking at the old one in the chair. They glanced back at the mech on the floor and the group fell silent as everyone took in the deactivation gray plating. Reverie slowly got out of his chair, joints creaking as he crouched to lay his helm against the downed mech's chest plates. After a moment of waiting, he straightened and shook his helm.

“Yah did a good dance youngling. Safe journeys.” He murmured to the body.

Everyone shifted, mouths thinned back to grim lines. The Glitch Mob mech pursed his lips. “We don't got a name, do we?” When several mechs shook their helms, he added, “Whose got claim to his subspace then?”

Ironhide jerked, turning to stare wide opticked at the mech. All the others around them frowned and looked at Reverie for guidance. It seemed surviving long enough to become old in the Darklight earned one quite a bit of respect, even if they couldn't fight anymore.

Although Orion wouldn't have bet that the old mech couldn't fight. Out of everyone in the room, he was the only one with out any injuries. Everyone from Ironhide to the younglings sported at least minor wounds. Reverie ignored the energon staining his legs as he reached into the dead mech's subspace and started pulling out supplies; mainly normal items like knives, a few guns, a couple cubes of energon, credits and some random shinies.

After a long moment to look it over, he turned to the smallest frames in the room. “Younglings, come 'ere.”

They did not 'come here'. In fact, a few near the edges started inching away, as the entire lot of them scowled mightily and flicked their optics around the room like they’d been setup. Reverie's mouth ticked up in amusement but he gestured again, and moved back a little from the body and the loot. “Come 'ere. You bigger one there, get the guns, Armless gets first dibs on a knife,” Orion tried not to make a sound at the terrible nickname, “an' ya'll share the rest. Especially that energon. 'kay?”

No one seemed to disagree with Reverie's decision, even if a few adults frowned sadly at the energon. They all knew none of them really had a claim to the supplies. So they shifted back out of the way and let the wary younglings inch forward. After grabbing the loot, they skittered back behind the props and eyed the adults while they examined their new treasures.

Reverie chuckled sadly and nodded at one of the other adults and the body. “Help me move him to the side a bit, yeah?”

None of this was out of the ordinary for Darklight folks, as far as Orion was concerned. He'd seen much the same when a few of Tumult's crew had fallen in a shootout during that gang war with the Crowncutters. Supplies couldn't be wasted so they went to whoever the deceased was closest to. In the Edgerunner's case, most had gone back to the gang's general supplies and the personal items to the dead mechs’ friends. He'd gotten the impression though, that this might not be the way people in other places did things, especially from the way Ironhide had startled.

A quick look at the mech gave Orion a sudden feeling of relief. He looked thoughtful, instead of offended and about to say something about it. Perhaps he was learning one couldn't just snap at Darklight people demanding answers to their weird behavior.

He didn't expect the question that came out of the Iaconian's mouth. “You don't consider yerself Polyhexian, do yah?”

The group glanced at each other, surprisingly mellow about the question. Perhaps they'd had enough fighting for the day. Smiling grimly, the shuttle femme answered, “No. Polyhelix don't want us, and never has. Even if they claim this area as part of their city. Why should we call ourselves what we ain't?”

“At least Darklight knows Darklight.” The lounging mech sighed softly. “Even if some of us don't have the accent an' some of us don't have the neon an' glow on our plating.”

“Remember...remember that time, that they tried tah tax us?” The possibly drunk but probably concussed mech snickered.

Someone snorted. “If they wanted tah tax us like Polyhexians they shoulda treated us like Polyhexians. Instead, they built a Primus-damned wall.”

“They actually tried to tax the Darklight?” Orion gaped. “Seriously?!”

One of the femmes laughed, “Yep! It didn't work at all-.”

badboy!taeyong

Request: hi!i just recently found your blog and to say that im absolutely in love with your writing would be an understatement & i was wondering if you could write a badboy!taeyong au? taeyong would be your typical bad boy: cold and distant with the exception of his close friends (aka nct), but his inner softie is unleashed once he meets y/n, a girl that he’s never really noticed but now has all of his attention on ;) thank you so much if you decide to write this! knowing you, it’ll come out incredible ♡ (YOU’RE SO KIND AND ILY THANK YOU FOR REQUESTING I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!!!!)

lee taeyong was the resident bad boy in the area

sometimes skips class because he doesn’t want to be there, picks fights every now and then, even tags walls with his name because he has nothing to be afraid of

though he makes sure not to make a mess most of the time because he doesn’t like that and feels kind of guilty (only kind of)

most people see him as aloof and/or intimidating and don’t try to interact with him at all costs

sometimes the people that do for the first time end up getting shut down by short responses, he leaves saying he has somewhere to go or someone to see, or he sounds really monotone/uninterested and the other person gets kinda uncomfortable

always hanging around his friends instead of playing it lone wolf style

even if some of them aren’t like him and are the social butterflies or super popular and friendly kids he makes sure they’re well and safe

once got into a fist fight with someone because they made a snide remark about one of the boys and he would have been fine if it was him, since he doesn’t really care

but one of the boys? his boys? nuh uh, they had it coming

not really rough and rowdy all the time but can definitely handle himself

usually he talks the other person down if they’re picking a fight with blunt words, and on the rare occasion he might have to knock them down

doesn’t usually crack a smile but when he’s with the rest of nct he does it quite frequently and one has to wonder how a rough looking boy can look so........... soft

and that’s really up until he met you

he never really noticed many people in his classes

sure, he knew faces and stuff but names never really seemed to stick

the occasional john doe or jane doe would pop up in his head and he’d be like oh yeah i know them

but otherwise he’s just conscious of who’s around him but not really who

some kids he keeps tabs on because they’re the more physical of the troublemakers and people he chooses to steer clear from because they give him the wrong vibe

but some of them get the vibe that he thinks he’s better than them or just looks down on them

which leads to a whole bunch of drama and more than a few times taeyong has had to patch himself up in secret so the school won’t find out or his friends and family

the last thing he wants to do is get anyone involved in this mess and he really hates it

the others never complain about being beaten up by him because they always managed to land a few fits but it also hurts their pride to admit that he’s tougher than them

used to completely avoid conflict with them but they kept persisting and cornered him and wow did he show them

regardless he hates having to physically fight people and keep it to himself

i can see him knowing how to fight in close quarters and knowing how to box, or even kickbox

but (kick)boxer!taeyong is for a different time, hm? ;)

but he knows that using it for...... this is p bad and it just makes him more frustrated which ends up being shown most of the time

most people often play it as that’s how he is normally

and most of his friends see it as his defense mechanism to not communicating with them or that’s just his personality with strangers

he loves this and hates it

because people won’t be involved with his problems......... but they’re not involved with his problems and he has to bury it all inside

usually this causes him a lot of stress and to relieve his stress he likes to be by himself and wander and roam and just think

most often this is the reason why he skips class

the most recent scuffle left his knuckles kind of scratched up, and he knew if he told his coaches or his friends then they’d find out about him fighting

so he still trains and keeps scratching up his knuckles

but this enough stresses him out because there’s a chance they won’t heal soon if he keeps this up and if someone notices, because it’s not that hard.............

so he takes a walk

he’s on school grounds still because his friends try to convince him to keep attending school and just work, because they know he can probably graduate as valedictorian if he wanted

but they don’t want to lose him and see him fall

as he’s walking through the halls and thinking about his friends and his fiasco, he sees one of the guys who always picks a fight with him

he starts to turn around because right now the last thing on his mind is getting into trouble when he is trying to get his mind off it

but as his luck would have it, trouble always seems to find him one way or another

the guy calls out his name and is pretty mad about getting a black eye since their last fight and the only thing taeyong got was another winning fight

taeyong sighs because hhhhh there’s no running away from this guy

once taeyong turns around he sees the guy is actually a lot closer than he thought and is rearing up to punch

but it never comes

in front of him there’s a girl standing there with her body recoiled and flinched, but she stands in the way regardless

when she sees that the punch never landed on either of them she unfolds completely and gets all up in his face saying

‘i don’t know if you have any beef with him or something, but do it after school. i will not stand by and watch you attempt to pummel this guy like you want to.’

both guys are shocked because a small girl? you? is yelling at him? notorious troublemaker x and not only that you managed to weasel your way in between the two without them realizing until just in time???

and......... you were defending taeyong? also notorious troublemaker???

taeyong is about to smirk because he gets his way again but you turn on your heel and start pointing fingers into his chest

‘and you. don’t tell me that you meant to get hit just to use the excuse that he started the fight, hm?’

taeyong never wants to admit but he finds that kind of........ kind of hot

plus this is the first time that someone he didn’t know ever stood up to him without cowering before him

to be honest, you knew who he was but never really............ cared

he was just a guy and this was just how he was no biggie

as you finish this out and the two get over their initial shock of someone telling them off the other guy turns red and is like

‘um i have business to attend and i don’t need some random girl to tell me what to do’ he says and he jabs a finger at you

you’re not having it at this point and are like ‘go take a walk’

‘go take a hike’ and he tries to shove you past and get to taeyong

but the second you see his hand coming up for a rough maneuver, you smack his arm out of the way and deliver a killer hook to the jaw with your other hand

it’s not enough to knock him out, but it’s enough to send the dude to the ground and enough to daze

the guy is quickly about to get up and taeyong shields you but is also ready to run if he sees the opening

quickly, when the guy glares at you and starts moving to get up, taeyong grabs you and starts sprinting and is just like gogoggogogo dunno where but go fAST

so you’re running and looking for something while the guy is just rounding the corner

so you dash into the bathroom and you can hear him running fast and he sounds mad but you’re glad he didn’t know you ran in there

‘yeah, i’m glad too’

you feel a hand over your mouth and you see taeyong shushing you quietly and you’re just like

he followed you into the girl’s bathroom nice

and you’re just staring at him like whTA RU DOING IN HERE????

but you whisper this because you know the guy is probably gonna circle back any minute

and taeyong is like r u blIND I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO

against your better judgement, you just........ let him crouch near the sinks with you and sit there in silence

taeyong keeps taking glances at you while you refuse to look at him

and he sees that it’s not because you think he’s scary

you’re just awkward that there’s a guy in the girls bathroom and he’s looking directly at you and ooh that stray toilet paper on the ground is interesting and less awkward oooh

taeyong eventually gets bored and is like........ ehh this isn’t that bad

he starts shifting around for fun and looks kind of dorky and is he reciting the alphabet in a rap???

you’re about to let out a huge snort when taeyong gets to the end of the rap and taeyong is like i’ve just confirmed i found a new friend

‘it smells bad in here’

‘what did you think it’d smell like, genius???’

taeyong shrugs but he has a small smile and is like ‘idk i thought all girls would maintain the bathroom better than the guys do’

you snort and cover your mouth quickly when you hear footsteps outside, but when they pass you just go ‘pffft no i’m p sure the farthest stall over there hasn’t been flushed’

taeyong quietly sighs and starts waving the air under his nose

‘i wanna leave’

this prompts the both of you to slowly peek out of the door and you both look opposite ends of the hall to see if anybody is around

because the last thing you guys need is to be caught by a teacher, the guy you were running from, or some random passerby who’d get the wrong idea

as you’re peeking out you see the guy standing there, huffing and typing rapidly on his phone

his back is turned to you and it doesn’t seem like he’ll be moving for a while, so you get taeyong’s attention and he turns and sees what you’re looking at and is like !!!???................ >:))))

and the both of you slowly sink back into the bathroom and i swear it’s almost like it came out of a cartoon afkljsg

but taeyong is heading into one of the stalls and you can hear the sound of him taking a bunch of toilet paper out and he just keeps going and going and then rips it off and hands you a bunch and is like

‘soak that pls, make sure it gets condensed into a ball’

you just listen to taeyong while he gets more and you’re thinking to yourself, great we’re gonna be the reason why nobody has any toilet paper this school is gonna tumblr down thanks to soggy toilet paper balls

he comes over with two more giant wads of toilet paper and starts making his own soggy paper ball while you put the other one on the sink and just do the third

you guys have three sopping toilet paper wads and it’s such a strange sight and you’re just going along with it tbh and taeyong is just like :)))) are you ready?

that glint in his eye means nothing but trouble and you know you shouldn’t be involved in this mess

but you just sigh and whisper under your breath that this dude tried to punch the wrong girl

taeyong smirks and is like i hope your aim is as killer as your hook

and lo and behold you manage to hit the guy square in the back with a glob of toilet paper and it makes the harshest smacking sound that even taeyong winces but he laughs and pushes you out of the bathroom so he can throw his

and just in time with the guy turning around he gets a glob to the face and then another to the stomach

that’s when you and taeyong run off again and the guy is left behind trying to get water and shredding toilet paper remains out of his eyes and clothes

while you’re giggling and running and even jumping over a table when you two cut into the cafeteria, taeyong is watching you silently while running behind you

you glance back to see if the guy is following you and when taeyong sees your smile......... he’s just................. so drawn in

‘where have you been all my life?’ taeyong asks when you two camp out in an empty classroom for a while

‘english class. which i’m probably going to be in so much trouble for when i get back’

‘wait................ english class??? in room 127?’

you’re just like uhuh you’d know if you actually showed up from time to time

and after meeting you, taeyong does just that

he doesn’t interact much with you anymore but he steals glances at you and pays full attention whenever you’re talking in class

eventually you start noticing that he only actually fully attends his english class and is constantly staring at you

so you just walk up to him one day and are like ‘go to class’

taeyong pulls a coolio (or tries to) and just responds with ‘go out with me’

you don’t actually think he’s serious until the next day you find him waiting at your locker ready to walk you to first period

it’s kind of cute the way he clings to you the walk there because he’s trying to make sure everyone sees this and it’s a silent message for them to back off and not mess with you

before he walks away once you step foot into the classroom you crab his collar and go ‘you better be in class’

taeyong just holds his hands up and is like fine but you’ll owe me a kiss

taeyong somehow always manages to show up on time and walk you to your next class, even taking over your seatmate’s desk if he shares the class with you

and at lunch he introduces everyone to you and some of the guys say hello and he’s like what how do you know her

to which you just respond with a ‘if you went to class you would have known’ and flick his forehead and everyone is ready to flinch because not even some of them can do that

but taeyong just rolls his eyes at your sass and softly (bc this precious is like i must never harm) pinches your cheek in return

at the end of the day taeyong is there at your locker again and the first thing he says is

‘you owe me a kiss’

and you manage to flag down two of his pals and ask if he really was in class and they go oh!! yeaH! FOR ONCE!!!!

taeyong is just smugly smiling at you

so you lean in slowly and taeyong is like oh? this is really happening?

and peck him on the cheek

you walk away and just go, see you tomorrow, hun

and taeyong stares at you and is like oh my gosh my face feels so warm i didn’t think she’d..... she called me hun oh golly

the next day taeyong isn’t there at your locker, but when you open it up you find a single rose in there and a super cheesy message

along with a sticky note telling you not to tell anybody about this at all or else he’ll get you back

when you tease him about it he denies everything until you tell him you’ll give him an actual kiss if he does admit to it

which he quickly does and you just give him a better kiss on the cheek this time

taeyong watches you go back to doing whatever as if that were normal and just goes to himself......... yup she’s the one

as you get more used to being in a relationship with taeyong you notice all the little things he does for you

still walking you to classes and showing up at your locker to wait for you and even leaving little gifts in there

one time that one guy tried to pick a fight with you when you were talking with your friend and taeyong waltzes up and slings an arm around you shoulders and is like

‘heyyy i think you better knock it off. and after what happened last time, you probably should be more afraid of her than you are me. just a tip.’

the guy just walks away and taeyong proudly looks at you and is like aren’t i deserving of a kiss?

you give him another kiss on the cheek and every single time he’s a little disappointed but too flustered to actually whine about it

the first actual date he took you on he was the sweetest, most gentlemanly guy you’ve ever encountered

he also cleans up well holy smokes it wasn’t even that fancy of a place but he still wanted to look nice

a casual sweatshirt, jeans, sneakers, and a snapback and wow you were gone

even if you did bring a jacket he made sure to give you his just to see you wearing something of his

after that makes sure to leave a jacket of his in your locker ‘in case you get cold’ or ‘for emergencies’

your first actual for real not a fake kiss though??? probably the tenth date in when you realize that taeyong was being serious about dating you

because he took you out on a picnic on a spot that overlooked the city

and it was so calm and serene and the entire time you were looking at the view, taeyong was looking at you............

you turned to him to talk about something you saw and are taken aback by how intense his stare is

and taeyong just goes, ‘for making my heart skip a beat every time you take a breath.......... you owe me a kiss’

and seeing him smile when you got flustered over this kind of made your heart skip a beat?

he told you that you didn’t have to but before he could finish that sentence you cut him off by a sweetly short kiss to the lips and he turned red and buried his face in his hands

his friends all found out that he was taking this seriously when he randomly sat down one day and just went ‘do you know what love feels like?’

everyone screamed and thought you broke him

let you watch him practice kickboxing once and now you’re not allowed because all he did was show off and the coach was not pleased at all

‘please, i’m glad you got the punk to calm down some but now he’s not focusing on anything’

overall taeyong is glad you didn’t judge him like everyone else and wants to protect you as much as possible even if you have a killer hook that honestly kind of scares him

My First Impressions of "And the Fatal Separation"

I haven’t done one of these at all this season! But this is probably one of my favourite episodes ever. This is really my second watch, but I was studying at the same time and didn’t get the full experience. But here we go~~~

-A bunch of Asian characters. Asian-centric episode. Y E S.

-Stone’s kickass fight scene. I’m ready to see him kick some more ass in the next season and episodes. I love that Christian Kane didn’t use a stunt double for this part besides the flip.

-Monkey King. I love his character. And does he just keep that tail coiled up all the time?

-In martial arts, there’s always a ‘death punch’. Why is this a thing?

-BANANA SMOOTHIES. that’s so cute. Jake doesn’t want magic, well you get a smoothie.

-Wow, Charlene’s candle is a whole candelabra. Dang.

-Baird’s candle being the next largest. Brilliant.

-EZEKIEL JONES’ CANDLE IS A BIRTHDAY CANDLE. I LOVE THAT.

-Flynn........... why is your candle almost oooooout?

-They have smoothies in a tiger cup. TIGER CUP. Omg, cute.

-I know I shouldn’t have laughed when the Monkey King was telling Jake to get the staff, but his voice sounded as if he was wearing a too tight turtleneck.

-NOOOOO. STONE. How the hell do you survive a waterfall drop when unconscious? You have to survive that fall.

-YES badass Asian woman.

-Whoa, on and off switch. I love Cassandra’s gift, it’s one of the coolest things about this show.

-Eve and Cassandra having a girl moment. There hasn’t been enough moments of them bonding, but the few are so special.

-Eve being an amazing Guardian. And she’s working so hard to get them all to their full potential like from the first season. I hope we get to see them at max Librarian mode.

-Can I be Eve Baird?

-HE SURVIVED THE WATERFALL.

-LOL “black PJs”. That’s the sign of a ninja.

-What happened to leg Flynn? Put your leg away LOL.

-Not gonna lie, it was super random that Jake had a marital arts master. But very cool.

-White magic..?

-Always talking about good and evil. Can’t forget the balance.

-’Multiple levels of suckage.”

-there are like three magical times: midnight, sunset, and sunrise.

-The Odyssey = Trojan horse = pirates Ezekiel & Cassandra + their secret cargo from the Library.

-Shit Ezekiel & Cassandra look badass. I need this look more often. I need this ot be a permanent look.

-What are these names? LOL.

-Dang, Cassandra is just as badass as she looks.

-Important decisions over tea. Asian to the max.

-OOOOOH Im liking this look on John Kim. Damn.

-”EZEKIEL JONES” with the arrogant accent.

-KILLED EZEKIEL JONES

-CHOKED EZEKIEL JONES

-THE MOST CLEVER LIBRARIAN = EZEKIEL JONES

-LOL FUSED JAW. No talking for you Ezekiel.

-Replacing the staff with another staff reminds me of an Ezekiel sort of a plan.

-damn these blow darts.

-oh shit Stone. Right in the forehead.

-Guardians > Librarians. I always forget that.

-”Bake our way out” They always underestimate Flynn’s plans.

-LOL Ezekiel dribbling.

-Electroplating... Never would have thought of that. Ever. Did not know that was a thing.

-My Casekiel babes are as Badass as they look

-Flynn and Stone. What a great underestimated tag team.

-CHARLENE!!

-Always okay. Charlene is always okay. How do you get to be as cool as these Guardians?

-Omg, you can’t stop Apep??? I don’t want to hear that. The Librarians don’t want to hear that.

-Wow, Charlene is so noble. Ugh, I’m gonna cry. She’s gonna be noble in the end.

-These outfits! Ezekiel’s shirt! Cassandra’s outfit! Why do we not dress like this more people????????

-I forgot that Eve and DOSA lady have never met face-to-face before. This whole interaction makes me uncomfortable. No, no, no.

-Sleeper agent in the Library. What are you plotting DOSA lady???

-OMG the whole show was a plot!!!! nonononononoono. A complete mind explosion.

-PROTECT THE LIBRARY, EVE! PROTECT IT. DON’T LET HER MESS WITH YOU.

-PROTECT YOUR FAMILY, EVE. THEY’RE YOUR FAMILY. DON’T LET DOSA LADY CONVINCE YOU OTHERWISE.

-EVE STAY STRONG. STAY STRONG COLONEL BAIRD!!! PLEASE.

-omg Eve don’t cry!!! You love them. Don’t let DOSA lady make you question that.

-omg.. she brought in the oath. YOU TRUST THEM EVE BAIRD!!! DONT LET HER MANIPULATE YOU.

-hahaha, Charlene questioning everything they do.

-”We didn’t have Charlene as our Guardian.”

-I won’t stop saying it. These looks are bad ass as hell. I LOVE IT.

-Casekiel team ups are my favourite thing.

-She’s figuring out her gift and it’s perfect.

-Hahaha, I did not know Cass could speak Chinese

-I love that they can comminucate silently.

-Do you even know what a whatever whatever approximation of pi is, Ezekiel??

-”Are you alright?” “I am now.” All because she saw Ezekiel Jones, Eve Baird felt better.

-MORE BLOW DARTS.

-Murder Harp...? Corrupted soul! Poor Monkey King.

-Sterling Lam.. not sure how I feel about this character.

-Flynn, you’re good at stalling. You can do this.

-What’s he going to do? Why is he going to lose his life? What’s happening, Flynn? Please explain.

-OH NO! THE DEATH GRIP! DON’T KILL HIM

-Flynn is never alone.

-SUN DOWN IS COMING!

-Wow that javelin like throw tho.

-YES STONE. PEP TALK. FIGHT FOR YOUR SOUL MONKEY KING

-Are you branding Jacob Stone?

-HAHAHA TAKE IT OFF. Like you can take off a magic tattoo.

-OH MY GOD HE CAN BRING LIGHT! LIGHT WHEN THE WORLD IS GOING TO BECOME EVIL? Jacob Stone is gonna save the world.

-ASDJASLDFIAEFA JENKINS!! YOU LOVE CHARLENE!! JENKINS/GALAHAD LOVES CHARLENE!

-Awe, who can deny Jenkins?

-But I guess she’s in love with Judson. It does suck, Jenkins. Poor man.

-WHAT DID YOU TELL BAIRD?????!?!?!?!

-AWE Flynn! Please don’t cry. No crying, please.

-Omg my heart is hurting. My heart is hurting too much. Too too too too much.

-”Keep all receipts.”

-You’re ready, but no one else is.

-Too many goodbyes.

-”Goodbye, my love.” UGH NO JENKINS WHY.

-where do they go...?

-WHAT IS THAT LOOK EVE BAIRD? WHY DOES IT LOOK EVIL AND SAD?
