we're just rainbows dreaming we're human

the closest thing to real soulmates you can find

we fought in the same trenches and have a warrior's bond that carries over into every stage of life

friend i sit next to in every class and pass notes to/whisper to constantly

academic peer/colleague that i respect and have a little intellectual crush on

neighbour in the same apartment block that i say hi to on the stairs

neighbour across the street who i wave at every morning and evening

we're regulars at the same bar

Gentle reminder that this is all a game, which is meant to be fun!

It's a long game, at that. The party 🥳 will still be waiting for you whenever you're ready to (re-)join it!

If it isn't happening, remember that prompts are requests. Genies 🧞 might be magically compelled to make things happen for those with wishes, but writing and sharing bullet point fic for someone's AU idea is a gift 🎁 and a means of connection 🤝 with someone like-minded!

It's okay if prompts don't spark anything. Maybe an open prompt will do it or the next prompt in the askbox will.

HiAUtus is meant to be a no-pressure way to explore our love for the characters in different settings and scenarios. Stress is unnecessary! 😫❌😥❌

“word” and/or “simple”

“Uh, Evan’s my roommate,” Tommy said, trying not to shift awkwardly under her sharp gaze. “Howie asked me to bring some of his clothes by.”

Sergeant Grant nodded at this. “I’m assuming no one told you what happened.”

Tommy shook his head. The little crew had seemed so weighed down with whatever had happened to Evan, he hadn’t wanted to bring it up again. He probably could have reached out to someone on shift at Harbour to find out, but that felt like a breach of confidence.

Sergeant Grant looked back at the 118, then gently steered Tommy out of the emergency room and down an empty hallway.

“Buck was struck by lightning,” she said it calmly, not mincing her words, but Tommy still felt the deep gut wrench that accompanied finding out someone he knew had been injured. “His heart stopped, but they got it back before he went into the ER.”

This is from Merry Go Round in which Buck makes queer friends, starts going on blind dates again, but somehow all roads lead back to Tommy

"Hey, you were the one who said you wanted to get back on the horse. Prove to yourself and everyone else that you're not just gay for your ex because he was the first guy to rock your socks off-"

He scrunches his face.

"- even though you definitely don't owe anyone that shit."

He scrunches harder.

"But like, I totally get it at the same time. So, great. Go kiss some boys and suck some dicks. Get some unassailable proof that you are one hundred percent queer and nobody can ever make you doubt yourself about it again."

He huffs a sigh that ends up sounding way more longing and pathetic than he'd intended. She's not at all wrong, is the thing. He hates the feeling of not being able to point to anything concrete, of being treated like Tommy's some kind of exception that proves the rule, rather than just the guy who was so incredible he broke through an entire society's worth of pressure to be "normal" just by existing in Buck's life.

"Look. Just go on one date, meet this very cool guy, try a rebound for a second to get a little distance. Gotta start somewhere or you'll never shake off the rust… it'll be fun. You can't tell me you don't need some fun in your life right now."

He hesitates, and Lucy grins, already knowing she's got him.

“Of course, come in Buck. Bobby,” she called in the direction of the kitchen, raising her voice a little. “Buck’s here for dinner, and he’s going to stay in the guest room tonight.” She motioned to him to hand over his duffle bag. “Bobby’s in the kitchen, you can help him get dinner set up. I’m just going to make sure there are some clean towels in the guest room, and I’ll put your bag there too.”

“Oh, Athena, you don’t need to do that,” Buck protested. 

“Now I know you aren’t implying that my hosting skills would be anything less than exceptional,” Athena pinned him with her best disappointed mom look, the one that always got to Harry and May. 

I searched and searched everywhere because they are such common words that I apparently seem to avoid to use at all cost?? But I eventually found one in my very very smutty Ravi/Zane/Jade, so I'll be putting it under a cut, because it's a very steamy threesome scene I haven't shared before 👀👀
