Olimar hummed a bit as he sat out in the gardens with his eldest daughter, Stella. He hummed as he examined the vegetables over, trying to decide what needed pruned. Though, he was distracted by Stella's nervous shifting and fidgeting. After a few moments he set the clippers down and turned to her. "Alright starlight, what's eating you up?"
"Huh? Oh!" She stopped shifting around, though she began to tug at the strings of her hoodie. It was a size or two too big for her, but she insisted on getting it. In fact, many of her clothing choices were slightly baggy on her. He wasn't sure why she chose them, and simply assumed them to be a fad. "... I... W-wanted to... T-to talk... If that's - that's okay."
Olimars ears leaned downwards as he reached over to rub her back. "Of course dear, of course."
"I - I... Think... I... M-my body... I-I'm... I'm a... I'm..." She stopped and started her sentence over, rocking slightly as she struggled to speak.
Olimar gently laid his hands on her shoulders, rubbing them. "It's okay, starlight, it's okay... Take some deep breaths first." He stopped talking to make sure Stella was taking deep breaths. Once she appeared calm, he continued with "You can tell me anything. Okay? I'm your Papa, you can talk to me."
She paused for several moments, breathing deeply and staring at nothing. Then, without looking at Olimar, "I-I'm not a girl."
Olimar merely blinked, quiet. He wasn't sure what to say or... How to approach this, really. After a few moments he held his daughter's - he held his child's hand and squeezed tightly. "Alright. And instead you're...?"
Stella looked up at him then, eyes wide as her - their ears drooped. Stella was also quiet for a moment before finding h- their voice. "I-I'm a b-boy... I'm pretty sure..."
Olimar simply nodded as he pulled Stella closer. "Understood. Is - Is there anything you need us to do? Your mother and I, I mean."
Stella held on tightly then, as if he- his father would disappear if he let go. After a few more deep breaths sh- he answered. "Just... I donno..." He then shuddered, hiding his face against his father. "S-Sorry, 'm... I wasn' expectin'..." He sniffled then, causing Olimar to instinctively hold his... His son closer, rubbing his back.
"Shhh, shhh... It's okay." He tried to sooth him, though he wasn't sure if it was working. "It's okay. You're okay. It's safe here."
"I didn, - didn' know cus - cus you a-and Mama never - ver talk a-about it." He managed through quiet sniffles. "A-An' sense - sense uncle Y-Yarrow..." He trailed off at the end, going silent.
Olimar sighed as he tried to brush tears off of Stella's face. He knew his brother-in-law was... An asshole, to say the least. Always running his mouth and never knowing when to shut up. Dealing with him was far more complicated than what Olimar could properly articulate. However... "I'm sorry, I never thought to make it obvious." He held Stella tighter, just to get the point across. "We should've talked about it." He never thought about it before, but now it felt so obvious thanks to the consequences of his silence now laying in his lap. Gods, he never wanted to scare his own child like this!
Stella pulled away a bit to wipe tears off of his face. "It's - It's okay. I'm just... Glad."
Olimar nodded, slowly brushing tears off as well. "If there's anything you want or need, let us know, and we'll do what we can for you. Okay?"
"O-Okay Papa..." He paused for a moment, then, "D-Don't tell uncle Yarrow. Or anyone, unless I say it's okay... P-please."
"Of course, starlight." He ruffled his hair, then, "Is... Starlight still okay?" He didn't know much at all really, just that he had to do his best for his kid. Both Stella and Luna were raised being called "starlight", but Olimar wasn't sure how feminine it could be considered.
"Starlight's fine." Stella answered. After a long pause, though, he continued with "S-Stella isn't, though."
Ah, he should have expected this. He couldn't lie, it stung just slightly - he had chosen the name - but this wasn't his choice this time. He'd just need to sort himself out later. "Alright, what do you want us to call you...?"
"I - I've been testing out Nova, so..."
Olimar nodded. "Okay. M-May I ask you something?"
St- Nova shifted around nervously then, his ears returning to their droopy state. "Y-Yeah?"
"You don't have to answer," Olimar began, "But is there a reason you told just me, and not your mother?"
At that Nova relaxed as he looked away. "I-It felt... Easier. If you guys reacted badly, then... I'd only be dealing with one of y-you."
His father sighed at that, but nodded. It made sense, though he still hated that the boy felt the need to be so tactical about this. He'd have to do better in the future - for both Nova and Luna. "Would you like to tell her now? And Luna, too?"
Nova nodded eagerly at that. "Y-Yes, please."
The two stood up then, Olimar grunting as his back popped from the effort. Before his son could get far, however, Olimar stopped him.
"Yeah, Papa?" He asked, looking over.
Olimar simply smiled, hand on his shoulder. "I love you, Nova."
Chapter 2 is finally done and I am so sorry something this short took so long asdfghjkl we need to get through this stuff before we can get onto the real story tho
Read it on Ao3 here!
Roman grabbed a few cans of ravioli and tossed them into the basket. Should he get milk? Maybe, he hasn't had any in a while.
His thoughts stopped like a record scratch as a cheerful voice greeted him from behind. “Hi Roman!”
He spun around, now face to face with that same polo shirt wearing man from a few days ago. “Oh, uh, hello. Patton, was it?”
“Oh, yeah. That was a bit of a silly question, wasn't it?” Patton laughed, “Well, I'll see you around!” He said, turning and walking away.
Roman looked after him in confusion. What a strange man.
-----------
Roman was at the library, browsing through the fiction section, planning on relaxing for a change, when he felt eyes on him. He looked around, but couldn’t see anyone in the aisle with him. He shrugged and turned back to the shelf. The feeling of being watched returned. He spun around again, still seeing nobody else around. When turned back to the shelf he almost screamed.
That vampire, Logan, right? Was standing right next to him.
“You seem like you’d appreciate fantasy books, am I correct?”
Roman, still recovering from that heart attack, glared but nodded.
“Hm. Fantasy is over there.” Logan said, pointing at a row of shelves a little distance away, before turning and walking the other direction. “I believe the saying is ‘go nuts,’.”
Roman glared, confused, before shrugging and walking in the direction Logan pointed.
-------------
Roman was Totally Not Lost. No way. Nope. He just… Couldn’t find his way back to the road. Definitely not lost though.
“You’re lost.”
A jolt ran up Roman’s spine, “What is it with you people and sneaking up on me!”
Virgil blinked into visibility, “Uhh…”
“Don’t answer that.” Roman grumbled, spinning around, away from the confused spectre.
“Aaaanyway,” Virgil said, flying around to position himself in from of Roman. “Road’s back that way. Maybe bring a compass next time.”
“...thanks.”
“No problem, Princey. Have fun walking for another hour.” Virgil said, before fading out of the visual spectrum.
“Mm.”
Roman looked at where Virgil had been, wondering why the three of them were being nice to him at all.

Hi I wrote a new fic :3 It's just an AU of Pikmin 4 where Shepherd is the main character and not the player character. Plus some other minor changes and specific additions. In this chapter, uh. Traditional Pikmin beginning. You know how it is.
Also Tumblr took away my ability to have a nice big link preview at the top of the post :( so now we just get that dinky little thing.
