Star Wars: Finn/Poe/Rey | Rating: General Audiences

Summary: 

Finn figures it's okay if he just is clear about what he is thinking.

@creativityobsessed tagged me to share a piece of your WIP.

Here is part of my Clois role reversal fic:

He eyed her curiously. “What do you think about her? Superwoman?” 

She blinked, thrown back by the question she hadn’t been expecting. “Why do you ask?” 

“Oh, I don’t know,” Clark replied, a little too casually. “I just realized that I never even asked- you’ve been hearing a lot about my thoughts, but you haven’t really said anything, one way or the other.” 

“Is it going to be a make it or break it moment in our newfound friendship?” Lois asked, heartbeat speeding up. She was stalling and she knew it, but she had to come up with a pretty bland answer. While she had been pretty good at shrugging off the Blur or giving vague responses to anyone who asked at her old job, she found that it was harder to do the same with Clark. 

Plus, she wasn’t quite sure if he would just get away with it. 

And she wasn’t sure if she wanted him to let her get away with it either. 

“Nah, I promise I’ll still like you,” Clark said, and she felt reassured, which didn’t make sense. “I mean, I will have to silently judge you for your frankly terrible taste …”

“Fair enough,” Lois said, letting out a half laugh. “She’s fine.” 

“Just fine?” Clark questioned. “I mean, you don’t need to give me an essay, but I also don’t want to bug you with my … well, Lombard would probably call it fanboying …”

“The only person who cares about his opinion is himself,” Lois muttered, drawing a grin out of Clark. “And I’m okay with your … fanboying, Smallville.” The return of the nickname caused his grin to widen. “Heroes aren’t a bad thing; not my thing, but she is doing good for the world, which is all you can ask for. I’m just here to report the news.” 

“Then I guess we should get back to reporting the news,” Clark responded.

(I definitely still write DC! I have come around fannishly full circle and that’s all I’ve been writing the last few months! ♥)

*

Dick was in the middle of a fight with a handful of Two Face’s henchmen when an alert started buzzing in his ear. He swiped it away on his communicator between punches, scarcely taking the time to note what it was before returning his full attention to the fight at hand.  Four months into being Batman and he already understood why Bruce had been so dour and convinced that vigilantism was only for the best of the best -- everyone that came at Batman came twice as hard as Dick was used to. There absolutely were downsides to the legend preceding you. 

He was dodging a burst of gunfire when familiar colors flew by, and Robin was kicking the henchman with the gun in the face, sending him sprawling to the concrete floor.  

Another henchmen got a lucky hit on Dick’s side, and he focused on the matter at hand, though something about what had just happened bothered him.  Familiar colors, familiar grin, the flash of bare thigh as Robin kicked the henchman---

Oh, shit. Dick punched the henchman he was fighting with more force than necessary, knocking him out cold as he turned to stare at Robin, who was finishing up with the last goon

“You’re welcome,” Robin said, giving the goon a nudge with his green pixie boot.  Yellow cape, red suit, green panties, and Jason’s unabashedly bright smile. He’d forgotten how that smile had looked.

Dick continued to stare, then looked back at his communicator.  The alert he’d brushed aside was still flashing. Temporal anomaly.

A fic I wish somebody else would write.  Oh, man there are so many of these.  The ones I most deeply want are the ones in fandoms I don’t write and don’t follow enough to write.

Here’s one, it’s from Downton Abbey which I only watched sporadically:

Season 1 AU where Mary got pregnant in that mess with Mr. Pamuk.  And her mom knows but her Dad doesn’t, so the Countess and Lady Mary and O’Brien go off to America “to visit Granny” and then come back with a baby that they pass off as the Countess’ baby.

Featuring: Edith is now the eldest daughter at home and gets a chance to shine, and the Countess promises her a trip on her own the next year to keep her from being hurt.

Featuring: O’Brien has no sympathy for Mary, and doesn’t bother to conceal it from her (though she does from the Countess) because if Mary tries to have her sacked, O’Brien can ruin her.

Featuring: Mary learning a lot more about what life is like outside of upper-class English Nobility.  I mean, she can’t go out and meet people who might know who she is and later ruin her, but she’s still away from home for the first time as an adult.

I’m not sure whether it would be a girl or a boy, but each has interesting AU possibilities.  If it’s a boy, and they successfully pass him off as the son of the Earl and Countess, he becomes the heir and Matthew goes back to Manchester.  Mary is not going to be Countess, but her son will be the Earl.  How does that affect things?  If it’s a daughter, well, there’s still Matthew, but having a child that she can’t claim is going to have an effect.  OTOH, Mary is the least maternal of the sisters, so perhaps not much.

favorite thing about them

what about Will isn’t my favorite thing about him? He’s so sweet and caring I love him with my whole heart and soul. 

least favorite thing about them

He’s too loyal, and he cares to much about other people. He always puts other people first. This isn’t something I don’t like about him (I love this quality about him), it’s just one of his flaws that I think he could work on if the Russos actually cared about writing a satisfactory arc for him. 

favorite line

I really don’t have one tbh. Not off the top of my head. 

Maybe the “I’m not going to fall in love” he says to his mom, because that was me in middle school. 

brOTP

Him and Dustin and Him and Lucas. They are Best Friends! I love their relationships so much and wish Lucas treated him better in the second season. 

Also, he and El. Holy shit I wish the Russos would just let them be friends. PLEASE. They would be best friends and I can’t believe it’s up to me and my rp partners to make it so. They get it, you know? They’ve both been to the upside down, they both had abusive fathers, they both were/are in love with Mike Wheeler. They would just get each other. And El could help him with his budding superpowers. 

hmnngmh now I’m thinking about Will coming out to El fucknnhgn I’m gonna write it I won’t I will. 

OTP

Byler. If Mike will get over his repression and internalized homophobia, that is. I think Will’s already forgiven Mike for the whole “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls” but idk if Mike would forgive himself, once he realized what he’d said. 

I still stand by that season 3 did them dirty and season 1 and 2 Mike would be disgusted with season 3 Mike. 

nOTP

Will and any girl. Will and El. Even before they were siblings, I found it ew. I think that they would make amazing friends tho. Will would help El figure out her emotions, like if she really liked Mike or if she even likes someone else (*eye emoji).

random headcanon

I have a lot of sad headcanons for him but for now…hmmnm…

He plans coming out to each of his friends and family individually, has it all planned out, but then ends up spilling it all out to Lucas or Dustin in a moment of Gay Rage.

This isn’t a headcanon, but in my future rewrite of Stranger Things s3, Will goes with Max and El after the “I dump your ass” scene and they have fun. Will comes out to them. It’s great. Max starts the “Mike Wheeler sucks” club and they hold meetings in Castle Byers. 

unpopular opinion

He isn’t a soft uwu gay. Yes, he is an artist. Yes, he is kind. But, he is angery. let him go feral. I want him to rage on Mike, to have a full breakdown in front of Mike and yell at him and go full Gay Wrath on him. Let my boy VENT. 

song i associate with them

Trees by McCafferty. (f-slur warning)

favorite picture of them

Favorite thing about him: he was literally one Palps Bullshit away from saving the Galaxy and he got there because he decided to go rogue. He’s just so very Like That, so very angry about injustice despite being a clone, where even most of his fellows just bore with it

Least favorite thing about him: he called his brothers by their numbers in Rookies and Clone Cadets and it’s OOC to literally everything about him?

Favorite line: “We are loyal soldiers, but we are not a bunch of unthinking DROIDS! We are men.”

BrOTP: Rex and/or Domino Squad!!!

OTP: Ani5 FOREVER!!!!!!!!

NoTP: RabeFives, I guess? I mean I guess it’s cute but I don’t get it at ALL.

Random HC: Fives was actually born to a squadron full of defective clones, except for him, as was all of Domino. That’s why their numbers and team cohesion are so shitty

Unpopular opinion: none about him? Maybe that I ship him with Anakin when a good amount of the TCW sub fandom has (valid, though counterable) problems with Anakin’s treatment of his men? I love this intelligent, tragic, badass, DUMBASS of a man so much.

Song I associate him with: my current song list is legit just 50 Toku songs but Excite fits him really well?

I don't wanna know

if the truth is disappointing.

I don't wanna know

ignorance is bliss.

Why? Why? Why? Why? Before I knew it, I came too far

Here’s the full song

Here’s the translation

Favorite pic:

Ohhh, you know I hadn’t thought of it much. I’ve seen a lot of crossovers with with It, but that’s mainly because of the links between the actors. Unfortunately I’m not a big fan of clowns and I’ve only seen it really done well with one other fic.

That said, I have definitely contemplated doing a crossover with Stranger Things and Beetlejuice. I have thought of Goonies, but I haven’t watched that one as recently. Plus the idea of Beetlejuice showing up and the ST gang just staring at him as if to say, “Oh great, another one,” or “Eh, we’ve seen worse” is too hilarious for my mind to let go.

The indicator for the message flashed at intervals; Bre took a moment to kick off her shoes before she answered it, and was smiling within a moment.

A last minute budget resolution had stopped her from leaving for a short holiday, but she intended to follow as soon as she finished the last of her duties.  Their chances to go to the summerhouse had gotten more rare, and she missed those days.  She told the console to play the message, and then grinned when Bail’s hologram appeared.

“I guess you’re still herding tookas in the Legislature, Dove,” he said, smiling sheepishly. “I was hoping we could put on a show for you before you got here as a warm-up, but I guess you’ll just have to get here quick in order to see the, uh, live version.”

As if beckoned, Maul leapt into view, arms thrown around Bail’s neck, knocking him off balance with a mock-growl; as Bail laughed, holding him up, he looked into the cam. “Yes, please, and hurry.”

Even though it was a recording and not live, she laughed back at them and said, “All right, all right, I will.”
