#humm

‘These past few weeks, are the most fun I’ve had in ages… years… maybe ever…’

And Stede just goes ‘humm’, widens his eyes a little, gives a slight nod, looks down. He’s listening. He’s doing the Stede-thing he’s so good at - listening impartially as he did in the bathtub scene. But his wonderful ability to listen without prejudice means he completely misses the nuance here.

‘Humm…’

Ed’s talking really slowly, waiting for the penny to drop…

But he has to go even slower and spell it out.

‘So……so…er…I reckon..what..makes Ed happy…is……….you.’

I’ve tried to reflect above the pauses Ed takes whilst saying this line. We all know it, but seeing it transcribed really brings home how nervous Ed is. I’m just amazed he doesn’t throw up.

And Stede’s eyebrows and sideways smile say ‘Me?’

…because Stede still has the wrong ears on!

He has the wrong ears on for many reasons, both positive and negative. Yes, he has very low self-esteem, no one has ever shown love to him; yes, he’s never likely felt desire before, or just thinks it’s not for him. But he’s also a kind, empathetic, altruistic listener. He doesn’t realise he is the subject of the conversation. Not in a million years does Stede think the answer to ‘what makes Ed happy’ will be him.

And he’s still confused, really. So Ed just has to say to hell with it and kiss him. Show him Ed’s feelings and his own. It’s such a lovely awakening.

The cloud, usually passing without caring, can turn into a storm, destroying everything on it's way.

Today he's a résident, one day he is a knight, another day he is a savior.

Fire and water, even so different, are beautifull when dancing together.

ALRIGHT I FINISHED IT HELL YEAH !! Idk I wanted to do methaphores or things like that for fun lol (and also to say more about the characters) and sorry for grammatical mistakes

Btw they're all sanses :D

ALSO I CAN'T DRAW WATER. And I'm not good at drawing fire either 😭 (maybe I should practice)

Sooo yeah you can choose wish OC I'll show first !

They all have backstory, I mean- the two first one are the ones with complet backstory but the third ones still have some, but less, and it's not the same as the two first ones but it's still cool (I don't wanna spoil)

now i need an au where the xmen didn’t manage to save Charles in time or they just don’t show up for some reason

Erik seeing Charles’s face on Apocalypse with likely some kind of remnants of his voice

Erik realizing he’s not only lost his wife and daughter, but also the last person who has been able to see the good in him and love him for who he truly is.

he can’t even kill Apocalypse for this, he keeps coming back 😾 stupid ass cockroach

i wonder how much he would regret accepting that helmet, once again betraying Charles’s trust and now never being able to gain it back

either Erik leaves the horsemen (maybe bringing some of them with him) and rallies the xmen to go kill Apocalypse or out of such anger and grief and regret he does end up destroying the world and he has to live with the fact that everything he loves will be destroyed

i don’t think he would even have any free will anymore since Apocalypse has Charles’s telepathy

or maybe he still has the helmet who knows
