Tagged by sweet @blueshistorysims💗 Thank you.

Say hi to everyone, Meowie. Sorry to bother you, sweetpea, but we’ll see you soon😽

Meowie is created by my dear @silwermoon-sims💗

AHHH YAY!!!! I’m so happy about that!! They’re just the cutest. How about another snippet from a future chapter (not sure which one yet lol)…

One that maybe is less happy? But remember…trust me 🙃😏

Cat’s smirk, wider and more devious than her smiles have been all week should have clued me in that whatever she was about to say to the group of us was going to be awful. But still, like a tidal wave barreling to shore, we were powerless to stop it.

His hair wasn’t short by any means. The barber had taken like two inches off at most. It was still swoopy and had curls and volume. He didn’t think it was going to be a Whole Thing.

He was extremely incorrect in that assumption.

When he got back to their apartment, Eddie took one look at him, hissed, and called him an imposter Steve.

Robin just started throwing hats at him. Steve hadn’t even known she owned that many hats.

Dustin, when he came to visit, visibly startled when he saw Steve’s hair.

By the time his hair returned to its normal length, Steve had thought everything was well and good. That was until it was time to get another trim and Eddie spent an entire afternoon distracting him from phoning the barber shop while Robin was mysteriously gone.

Robin returned with hair scissors.

master list here. a little peek into jack and joe's new life after jack's WRU contract is voided, somewhere after this piece. the sculpture referenced is canova's cupid and psyche. this is mostly fluff, which i offer to you in the hopes that you'll forgive me for all the bad things i will surely still do to these boys.

content warnings: references to past trauma and captivity, bbu/bbu-adjacent

future snippet, eros

Jack can’t list all the things he missed. 

Part of it is that he didn’t have enough control of his own mind to really miss anything at all. Everything comes back to him in fits and starts. He missed Carl. Legos. Cooking. Standing under a hot shower. The feeling of a cool pillowcase beneath his cheek. A glass of whiskey while he does the crossword. 

And Joe. Joe, calling him an old man for doing the crossword. Joe, reading to him at night. Joe’s complete ineptitude in the kitchen. The cold warmth of Joe’s kisses just after he’s taken a drink. Joe’s gentle hands on his skin. Joe, and everything they used to do together. 

Things like Sunday visits to the museum. 

Blood Red: Favourite piece of dialogue from your wip

“Take him to the safehouse, then.”

“Why? Is he not safe here, Jonas?”

Jonas bares his teeth, showing the tips of the metal fangs. “As safe as you’ll let it be, Nikolai. That’s not the point.”

“What is your point? He’s happy here. I like having him here.”

ITS MY FAVORITE RESPONSE TO FAVOR FIRE. Because Enji. as a character in canon, is one I actually very much DO NOT like. At all. Like would yeet-into-the-sun. Everything about the abuse and just- UGH.

But my Enji? I love my Enji. I love that I can take him potential, and do this with it.

As for a snippet- I don’t have one of those, but I DO have something I wrote for MUCH LATER in the timeline (and I must say this is not going to 100% be exactly how this event goes later on) BUT I figured y’all will love this anYWAY, and I love it a lot so Imma share. 

FAVOR FIRE WEDDING RENEWAL SONG FIC 

(SONG LINK)

Enji didn’t know what to do with himself, when it registered that he had...everything. Everything he could want, had wanted, when he first stepped foot back into his past. 

He was still Number Two, but that didn’t matter to him. His wife loved him, his children were healthy, and loved him too.

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be

And that was everything, everything he had wanted. More than he deserved. More than he could have hoped for.

I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you.

And now he was here. Four beautiful children, who looked up to him, who loved him, who smiled and scrambled to talk about their days when he came home. A wife who curled trustingly into his arms, who held him close when he woke up from nightmares of a future that would never be. A wife who was so, so strong.

And when I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be

A wife he loved, with every ember in his body, every pulse of his heart, every day of his life. 

He asked her to marry him.

To really marry him. Not the arranged marriage he had taken, that they had agreed to, but a marriage born of love and adoration, of communication. A marriage born of a desire to be Todoroki Rei’s husband.

I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you.

Rei said yes, and Enji...Enji was the sort of happy that hurt. His heart twisted, and he felt like he could float away,

He didn’t deserve her. Not even now. Not even with everything he had changed and done, everything he had realized. 

And when I come home, yeah I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's coming home to you.

But kami help him, she said yes anyway, and he was given the privilege of Todoroki Rei’s hand in marriage.

 And it was a privilege. 

One he would never take for granted again. One that would never be tossed aside for ambitions worth nothing in the face of his love and family.

And when I'm dreamin', well I know I'm gonna dream

He’d seen hell. He’d watched the world burn and crumble under the assault of the League, watched friends, colleagues, children, his family fall to them.

He still dreamed of it, what could happen, if he didn’t put the work into changing the world.

But here- here and now-

I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you.

In this time, this life, where Todoroki Enji walked into his house, and it was a home-

In this life, where his wife smiled when she saw him, leaned up and pressed her lips to his.

In this life where his eldest son was happy and healthy, and becoming a fantastic hero.

In this life, where his children laughed and played, where they loved and smiled.

But I would walk 500 miles

In this time, this moment, this glorious fantastic life that he had been given, in this second chance...

And I would walk 500 more

Oh, it was all worth it. Every moment of panic and anxiety. Every flashback. Every day he had to relive and rework. Every year, month, day, hour, he had been sent back.

Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles

He’d do it again.

Without question, if this was at the end of his journey, if this was what he would be rewarded with, he would travel back as many times as he needed.

To fall down at your door

Standing here, in this moment, surrounded by his friends, and family, and the scent of flowers, Enji did nothing to stop his tears, nor the wide smile on his face.

When I'm workin', yeah I know I'm gonna be

They had rented out a private shrine for their wedding renewal, a mix of traditional and western style in nature.  Rei was in a white wedding kimono, for the first time. In their first wedding, she had been clad in her family’s colors. For this- well a bride wore a white kimono to signify her willingness to be ‘dyed in her husband’s colors’.  

I'm gonna be the man who's workin' hard for you.

The shrine masters and maidens escorted Rei up to the end of the aisle, where Touya had offered his mother his arm, and began to escort her towards Enji, waiting in the shrine pavilion. The walkway had been lined with flowers, and the floor with flower petals.

His son was smiling almost as widely as his wife.

And when the money comes in for the work I do

It was striking, what a different feeling this wedding carried. What a difference it made for them, for Enji. 

Enji extended a hand, accepting as Touya handed his mother’s hand over to him. 

I'll pass along every cent of it to you.

Enji turned to face the shrine priest as he began to speak, and prepared the three sake cups. One for the heavens, and as a thank-you to the kami and ancestors, one for the earth, and their bond, and vow to take care of each other in life, and one for the people and their fertility. 

And when I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be

Enji gave those silent vows, and thanked every kami that was listening, for this chance, this gift. The next ritual was unique to the shrine Enji and Rei had chosen, and involved the making of two origami cranes. The bride and groom each made one, while offering a prayer to the gods before exchanging them. By accepting the cranes from one another they showed one another and those in attendance as well as the gods, that they were willing to put in the work to make that prayer come true- as in the thousand paper cranes myth.

I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you.

And if I grow old, well I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you.

And then came the Vow. The Vow to the shinto god, that they would go forth from this day on to love and trust each other, unchanging. And here- another touch of western weddings, they exchanged vows of their own for each other.

It was….everything Enji should have given Rei in his first life, everything he would not fail to give her in this one.

But I would walk 500 miles

Enji’s smile is wide and heartfelt as he exchanges wedding bands- new and untouched by their arranged wedding. White gold, with a subtle ripple pattern on the bands that looked like his hellfire, with a blue sapphire as the centerpiece of the ring, an equally subtle snowflake etched into it, with two smaller white sapphires on either side of the blue one. The cut of the gems on Enji’s band was more masculine in shape, but their bands matched. 

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles

Enji smiled widely down at his wife, as the guests called their congratulations, pulling her into a kiss, chuckling against her lips when she laughingly scolded him with a light smack on his arm and a whisper of “Enji!”  

To fall down at your door

“I love you, Todoroki Rei.”

But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles

To fall down at your door

Rei smiled up at him, lifting herself onto her toes as she answered him “And I love you, Todoroki Enji.”

When I wake up, well I hope I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's waking up to you.

Enji closed his eyes and relished in those words. Words he had never heard in his first life. Never earned.

And when I'm dreamin', well I know I'm gonna dream

Everything had been worth it. Every hardship and struggle. Every nightmare and sleepless night. Every fight, every flashback. Every time he had to close his eyes and remember what he had left behind.

I'm gonna dream about the time I had with you.

To be here, and now...to be with her, and his children. To see love and affection and joy in their eyes when they looked at him. To see Toshi at his side whole and hale, arm hooked through a laughing Yagi Inko’s arm, to watch tears streaming down a confidant and laughing Yagi Izuku’s face…

Yeah.

( send me a “🖊+an OC“ and I will talk about that OC! )

Moira! My own little British babe!

She was originally created to just be Sam and Dean’s adopted sister, but if you’ve seen the most recent chapter of BC, you can see her role has grown to be so much more in the AU.

I can’t give much information on what’s coming up for her, but I can show some of the future friction between her and the Winchesters, in some dialogue from Moira in the unwritten future of BC–

“It used to scare me when I found out just how far you’d go for Sam. I mean, working with humans? Letting them pick you up, move you around? That’s pretty risky.
