You're sooooooo strong! I wouldn't have minded a Bobby tag, but still! Super strong 💙

"John." "I know," he said, because he did. He felt himself blushing under Wyatt's incredulous gaze, but refused to acknowledge it. It would only make it worse. "It's a political thing. With Latveria." "That doesn't make any sense. He-- sorry, what was your name?" "Akihiro," answered Daken. He was enjoying this mess way too much, and way too shirtless. "Akihiro," repeated Wyatt, with a bit of disdainful look. Wyatt was rarely rude, but... Johnny had told him about the bitter end to his former... friendship with the villain, so it only made sense. "Akihiro is not even Latverian, I don't see how their customs would affect him." "I'm a special guest," he said with a fake apologetic expression. "I'm fucking Doom." Johnny sputtered at that. "No you're not!" "Okay, I'm not. But I'm working for Magneto, and he is, so same difference." Johnny and Wyatt looked at him, then at each other, and found themselves surprised by how unsurprised they were. It tracked. Johnny had to text Bobby to see if Xavier knew. "Whatever, the marriage of the Saint Lawrence Comets only lasts a year, so it's not that bad. It's political theater! We have the stuffy ceremony, Doom delivers the weird orb that can destroy reality as we know it to Reed, and in eleven months it will be like it didn't even happen!" Wyatt looked unconvinced. "How did people even find out that you spent that night together?" "They found us naked on the Fantasticar the next morning," snorted Daken. Johnny blushed harder. "The Yancy Street Gang hacked the locks, okay? That's not my fault, it should have happened to Ben!" Johnny sighed, and looked out of the ornate gilded window. Latveria was so over the top. "It would have been very funny, if it had happened to Ben..." . or: Johnny and Akihiro get accidentally married after spending the night together under Latveria's Saint Lawrence Comets. This would be bad even if Johnny wasn't in love with his best friend, but it becomes even worse when Doom announces their royal wedding. This is all Ben's fault.

A bit too long to be a summary, I know 😂

Chapter 22 of the String of Fate sequel, where I give my own spin to the Fall of Krakoa, is now available to read on AO3 ^-^

This story is the third in a series where I’ve been dealing with Akihiro’s trauma, but it should be easy to follow even if you never read the first two works. You’ll miss critical character development, of course, but I’ve been told you can follow along.

If you can, please think about leaving a comment! It really does mean the world ^-^

[Read chapter 22 HERE]

And so the day came. There were a lot of moving parts, and Akihiro didn’t know the whole plan. But he could, finally and not too soon, get out in the open. He was delivered a nondescript spandex costume and tasked with liberating the mutants from a camp in the Colorado Plateau, together with Mystique and Kate. It was originally going to be just Kate and him, but Mystique insisted on joining them.

Another panel redraw as a belated birthday present to myself and a little something for @gealach-in-a-misty-world since it's her birthday today :3

I was using it as a reference photo and had the best idea

But then! I was listening to my music as I was working on this piece (as ya do) and this song came up

And my brain instantly went: Mafia AU

I’ll be posting Chapter 1 on my Ao3 account soon, but for now, here’s a snippet:

“You at the counter,” called out a voice from behind him. Johnny turned around to see one of lackeys in the booth waving at him. “You a mechanic?”

“Who’s asking?”

“Just a potential customer, is all.”

Dragon Tattoo doesn’t utter a word, cocking his head back before letting a grin slip into his expression. Slowly, he points to his own forehead and looks expectantly. In a beat, Johnny realized what he had meant and grabbed a napkin to wipe the grease off his own face.

“Thanks,” he uttered, giving a small nod.

“What,” the lackey started up again. “You not accepting new customers or something”

“Hey, not for me to decide. Ask my Uncle. He handles all the business.”

“You some kinda smartass?” he stood up.

“Enough,” Dragon Tattoo said, gesturing for his associate to sit back down. He complied, with a hint of fear creeping into his demeanor.

“My apologies, Aniki”

“You got a name?” Dragon Tattoo disregarded the man entirely and turned his attention back to the young mechanic.

“Johnny.”

“Akihiro,” his sly grin returned. “A pleasure.”
