#doot does things

I was gonna put Nikolai in here but I don't know him well enough. Was gonna put him either in "Apartment "complex"? I find it quite simple" or "Road works ahead? Yeah, I sure hope it does."

Blank ver. and written/text version below the cut! Feel free to make your own version ^^

Electric Boogaloo

Though he comes off as distant, Keegan genuinely cares about others.

Like I've said before, he's not broody. He's just quiet and probably has some intense RBF. Otherwise, he's just. A guy.

Doesn't really have a problem with talking, he just doesn't have a lot to say most of the time. Or he prefers others (like Merrick) to do the speaking.

Many people - at first - think his tendency to avoid or disappear from social situations is him being an asshole. In reality, socialising exhausts him. He needs to recharge frequently.

Actions > Words kinda guy.

Good at controlling himself. Generally not impulsive unless the situation calls for it.

You really have to piss him off to get him to lash out. Not so much the patience of a saint; he's just got high tolerance and perseverance.

Though if you'd like the fast pass to agony city (and/or the morgue) then hurting the people he loves is a sure fire way to get there! We all saw the way he acted while looking for Ajax. No doubt in my mind that he'd be like that for the others. No mercy.

Excellent spatial awareness.

Has developed an intense fear of failing others. He doesn't outwardly express it, but internally frets and dwells over things if he's not distracted by work.

Definitely has leadership qualities, but honestly prefers Merrick taking charge more often than not.

Probably has some kind of vocal cord damage.

The more comfortable he is with someone, the more he's willing to hang out with them, even if he's a little drained.

Ask and ye shall recieve! Cross-posted on ao3 here!

Summary: Just Keegan being delirious for 1000 words. Pretty much just a sickfic. All other characters are vague, so it's completely up to you as to who/when/where/what is going on outside of Keegan's perception LOL

Warnings/labels: Mild angst, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Brief mentions of suffocation, Whump

I got tagged by @samithemunchkin to do this :D Thank you very much!

You know the drill: create a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP file folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it.

List of WIPs (note that these are all fics, I just think adding .jpg/png/etc/ is funny):

I never know who to tag for these things, so if you're interested on being on like. A list of ppl I know I can tag, let me know HAHA

Most of these came to me in the middle of the night LOL idk what this interpretation is but I'm rolling with it.

Family oriented. FAMILY ORIENTED.

This man values spending time with people so much. He's the one keeping up with his relationships when possible.

Loves easily and loves intensely. Not in any NSFW way I just mean this guy is so heartfelt and genuine it hurts.

Similarly, hell hath no fury like a Hesh scorned.

Intensely protective of everyone he loves. Puts himself between his loved ones and any perceived physical threat out of instinct.

I imagine he's the kind of guy to just. Take care of people. Esp when gets older, this man is making sure people are fed and are comfortable.

"I'm not comfortable if you're not comfortable." Kinda guy

Just for fun I think whittling would be a cute hobby for him. Whittles small wooden figures as gifts. Keeps his hands busy.

Has trouble sitting still for long periods of time. Not that he's bouncing off the walls, he just likes having smth to fidget with (like him throwing a ball for Riley in the first mission)

Animal lover. Just has a way of making animals trust him.

Headstrong motherfucker, will take on any challenege.

When his mother passed, Hesh started taking on responsibilities as a means to cope and also help out Logan and Elias.

Sort of a "grew up too quickly" kind of thing. Probably tends to take on more than he can actually handle, and gets frustrated when he can't, in fact, handle it.

So in a similar vein, hates being looked down on or being seen as a "kid" because he's not felt like a kid in a very long time.

-

"Yeah, Logan said you were planning on keeping this a secret," Elias sighed, and Hesh only feels all the more awful about it. As if sensing it, or even just straight up reading his mind, he continued, "I'm not angry. I just want to know what's going on with you. Why'd you want to hide this from me?"

"You had too much to worry about..."

"David, I'm always gonna worry about you. You're my son. There's never a time where I'm not worried about you and your brother."

"I know, I know, but- Jesus, I'm twenty-eight! I should be able to take care of myself. Not relying on my little brother or my damned dad like a kid anymore."

"Hesh, you relying on us is not a weakness." Oh boy. That's a sterner tone of voice all of a sudden. "When I brought you and Logan up, I wanted you to be able to rely on each other when you needed it. One day, I won't be around anymore, and it makes me feel a hell-of-a-lot better to know that you'll be able to get through hardships together."

"There's never any shame in letting your team help. That's what a team does, we look out for and support each other."

His mind immediately goes back to Ajax. The way Merrick and Keegan had spoke of him, the way they handled him in death... The closeness of the Ghosts, how they so obviously and openly care for their own... It reminds him of his own family, and knowing now that Elias had at least some hand in shaping these men into who they are, it's only become more clear. He can see the same teachings, same guidance, playing out in front of him. They're strangers, but they already feel so familiar.

Ajax/Keegan edition!

Thanks to @faccal for the tag on this!!

Woe, Keegan/Ajax fluff be upon ye!

Keegan pressed himself to Ajax's back, head lazily resting on his shoulder. With a tired clumsiness, his arms wrap around Ajax's waist, hands sliding into the front pocket of his hoodie. It's a move that Ajax is more than familiar with by now; and he knows that Keegan must be exhausted if he's using his cuddly warmth sapping tactics in the open like this. Though, perhaps he's grown more comfortable around the Ghosts than Ajax first thought. It brought a fond smile to his face either way. He casually slides his own hands into his pocket to hold Keegan's frigid ones, their fingers lacing together comfortably.

"Tired?" It's a soft question, barely audible against the Ghosts' enthusiastic chattering.

"Mm." Ajax felt the vague hum more than he heard it, and it was followed by a deep sigh.

"Everything okay?"

"'s loud." As if to prove his point, a roar of laughter erupted from the group, and Keegan's hands shifted in Ajax's. That explained more than enough. Keegan's described it before; how too much noise overwhelmed him, especially when there was little else to focus on, how it built up into pressure and static in his head, sometimes to genuinely painful extents. He often pushed himself with it - which, in all honesty doesn't seem like a great idea - but eventually it'd be too much. Now he tends to let them know when he's reached his limit, in contrast to the early days where he'd leave without much of a word, leading to... a couple of unfortunate misunderstandings.

Getting acclimated to each other was a tricky process. Who knew?
