73. i love proving you wrong. | superheroverse.

the 5-axel truck goes sailing through the air, knocking unexpecting jonny out of his orbit around jack and tom.

"you ass," andrew yells at the slightly bruised but definitely still alive gemma, "i thought you'd genuinely died this time." she cackles a laugh as she snaps a damaged street lamp in half, spinning the pole like a baseball bat. "you got tom crying and everything."

over the hiss of the broken and spraying hydrant, tom hears jack's small chuckle. tom swats at his eyes with the back of his knuckles. fuck them all, his sister got taken out by a 5-axel truck thrown by a dyed-in-the-wool psychopath. his sister, who is apparently strong enough to throw said 5-axel back at jonny. "sorry thomas," she calls out, giving him a wave. "get jack outta here, yeah? we'll talk about it at home."

yes, fucking right they will talk about this at home. but gemma is right, he needs to get jack, apparently the only human one amongst them, out of here before he's hit with a falling vehicle.

to andrew, gemma grins, "i love proving you wrong," then fires the street lamp at jonny like a goddamn spear. "this dickhead couldn't kill me if he tried." andrew just rolls his eyes and pulls into a sprint.

75. who are you? | neville longbottom/pansy parkinson, melusine AU.

she goes for her guard's throat so they restrain her. it doesn't stop her going for the new guard's eyes the next day, the rope too easy for her to free herself from, so they replace the ropes with chains. the iron binds her. but still she fights against it, making the bronze ichor of her blood drips down pansy's arms.

they put herbs in her water to make her docile, to stop her from hurting herself further before they can get to the bottom of what she is, and why she is here.

as with everything harry has ordered for pansy's imprisonment, neville is told of it. as with everything harry has ordered for pansy's imprisonment, neville feels sick to his stomach. she is his wife, a fact he refuses budge on despite the insistence from ron, seamus, harry, all of them that she lied to him. she isn't human.

after three days and nights, dean takes pity on him and lets him into the cell to see her. pansy is asleep on the cot, curled up small. neville takes the stool from the corner and sits, waiting for her to stir.

a wave of sickness breaks over him at the raw broken skin of her wrist. damage from the iron. (she must be at least in part fae.)

her eyes flutter open and catch him staring.

the herbs must have a strong effect on her. pansy's voice slurs around her words, tongue thick in her mouth. "who are you?" she asks, despite her gaze solidly upon him.

neville touches her cheek. "neville." her eyes close once more. "your husband."

130. good, i hope you feel bad. | coolverse.

idris wipes the blood and bile from his face. "is he leaking?"

gemma's nose wrinkles in disgust. "sorta," she nods, hand moving to the power dial. idris waves his hand, stopping her, and she replies, "next bolt might kill him."

the other guy -- a g name, something stupid with too many consonants -- perks up, "does that really bother you that much?" gemma glares. "good. i hope you feel bad."

I was thinking about jordy and gemma today in coolverse, and what if he was dishonourably discharged from the military. I don’t know why. something happened; to him or someone else. I don’t know. maybe it doesn’t matter. he was in a humvee in the middle east, then he’s back in town. gemma hears word, but not from him. it’s been a long time since high school.

lee gives him a job. it’s a family business and jordy is practically family. maybe he’s a driver. maybe he’s muscle. it’s not like he can go home. it’s not like he knows half of what happened after he left town; eighteen and dumb. it’s not like gemma is in a rush to tell him. sid came back broken; jordy came back like a loaded gun.

I hope you are well ❤️❤️❤️

does jordy know, does jordy know that there’s a kid out there with his big blue eyes and even bigger nose; with gemma’s dark hair and smart mouth? yeah, he does. he tried to find him when he came home. it was something to do, something to . . . fill the void. but idris got wind of it, knocked his elbow into lee’s arm and lee offered jordy a job. (gemma doesn’t know where her son is but her big brothers do. and both of them stopped jordy from finding out. gemma wanted the kid to have a normal life, away from them, and they weren’t about to let a staal drag up a whole pile of hurt gemma left back in high school.)

he finds sid by accident while trying to find his kid. they weren’t in the same squadron but they knew one another. they were deployed on the same flight. when jordy sees him again, sitting behind the counter of the bodega, doing the sudoku, he tells sid, “it’s good to see you.”

is it? jordy can’t tell but that’s what he says all the same.

but with sid -- with sid. not her brothers. sid -- comes gemma. she’s got keys to his apartment and he’s got sweaters of hers in the chest of drawers in his bedroom. jordy’s blindsided. she hasn’t grown an inch since eleventh grade math class, when jordy used to sit behind her and flick the back of her ear every time he took his seat, strolling in with 3 seconds before the bell. she’s just about 5′6 and jordy is- not. he was always taller than her but he took a growth spurt senior year, when she no longer looked at him and jordy was already considering enlisting.

she walks in through the front door and no one says anything.

does sid know about the kid? yeah. gemma told him. stoned and crosslegged on the back step of the bodega as sid counted bags of ice from the back of a truck into the store, she told him about her kid. about jordy. sid didn’t mention he knew him. that they’d been overseas together. that didn’t seem necessary. but now here they are.

all three of them in sid’s apartment and not a word to say between them. gemma’s definitely not gonna start the conversation; she’s a lot of things but she’s not the first to speak, ever. jordy’s doing his best not to look at her, his hands clenched in fists on his knees.

sid remembers asking her, “does he know?” that day, her ass on the back step of the bodega and him counting bags of ice, “jordy, does he know about the kid?” she’d squinted her eyes up at him, up at the afternoon sun about his head and frowned. sid instantly felt sick for asking.

i am doing wonderfully, lark. it's 4 minutes into glen's birthday and we're baking birthday cake at midnight together and i'm so blessed and feel so honored i get to call this intelligent, beautiful, funny woman my best friend. i hope you're staying safe thru these bizarre times.

sid/jordy. oh, my heart. sidney crosby/jordan staal. i think of how jordan made sid be robin to his batman that one halloween at least once a week. they make me so happy. they are together in the OG coolverse, with gemma in the middle. jordan was the guy she had a baby with in high school while jordan was in the army with sid and it's thru sid and gemma forming whatever they are that brings jordan back into both their lives.

oh bumblebee, i'm so sorry. i hope you're being kind to yourself today. and i'm even sorrier cos sid/kris aren't together in that verse. either coolverses actually -- sid's with geno (a rebound that kept going) in 80s edition and in OG coolverse, he's- emotionally involved with gemma and there's something going on for both of them with jordan staal [sid was in the military with him totally unaware 10 years prior he was gemma's high school boyfriend and they had a kid together who she gave up for adoption].

i actually don't think kris is mentioned in the OG 'verse but he is vaguely mentioned as one of sid's cohort in 80s edition.

it's not the same as the coolverse, but the smartverse -- asshole brooklyn yuppies who get baked on the weekend and keep fucking people within their friend group; it's a misnomer, no one in the smartverse is smart in the "common sense" style altho some of them are good at their corporate jobs -- has kris/sid.

they're disgustingly monogamous and recently engaged, which gemma is fine with, really. she's totally fine with everyone around her getting engaged and having babies while she has turned 31, she will gladly be sid's best man, wow, an honour, no nick, she's not going to make a travis konecny shaped mistake again, shut up.

(she made a connor mcdavid shaped mistake the night of sid-and-kris' engagement party but no one but her and connor [and connor's brother] knows about that yet.)
