***Punk threatening to move to Melbourne bringing the Melbourne AU one step closer to reality alert!!!***

Snake Eyes Chapter 1: “Oh wow.” A familiar voice had Randy turning, starting to get the hang of moving his new body around. Cody was stood in the doorway, still in his ring gear. “Where did you come from?”

With no fear at all Cody scooped Randy up with one hand, before holding onto him gently while turning him around as he looked at him closely. Cody huffed a little laugh as he held him up to his face to talk to him. “Aren’t you beautiful?”

48. kisses to shut them up

I’m in an el weewee mood so it is sethpunk time 😎

You know what I'm asking for right? Right??? 🥺🙏

(Also Knight and Cody teaming up briefly! Ginger and lime vibes all round!)

I got very 👀 at Cody and Randy being very married while also poking the bear kennel master like that! I need one of them (preferably Cody) to lose to Gunther at a PLE again so I can write something NASTY 😂

And LA Knight and Cody teaming up made me smile. There's still some affection there! Though Cody might have blown it when he eliminated Knight... Cody, after everything Knight did for you when you were lonely and horny! For shame!

*Gasp* Senpai noticed me

Seriously though, thank you so much! This was one that I had left sitting for ages, but I'd also like to take a moment to shout out @bubblegumlefty for getting me into this ship :P

To say that the relationship between Elias and Jeff Hardy was an extremely strange one, would be somewhat of an understatement.

In all fairness, when they initially met it was as rivals almost constantly butting heads, which only seemed to grow in fervour and intensity. The incident of a suspected hit and run only seemed to stoke the fires even more dangerously, with the two men clawing at each other’s throats. It took one ‘Symphony of Destruction’ match to finally quell those tensions.

No one would have expected that to lead to Jeff and Elias igniting a tenuous friendship.

Nor would they have they expected it to grow into what it was now.

It was a cool morning at the Hardy Compound, with the two musicians lounging in Jeff’s living room and simply basking in each other’s presence. The radio was tuned to a classic rock station, ‘Roundabout’ by Yes playing softly. Elias adjusted himself as carefully as he could, since he didn’t want to move Jeff around too much, since the Enigma was laid across the top of him. He had to take a moment to appreciate the other’s expression.

Jeff’s eyes were shut, his chest gently rising and falling. His pale skin did demonstrate the effects of his age, but in this moment, he looked almost younger as the fine lines in his face seemed to smooth over. It also allowed Elias to notice all of the little details; the grey scattered in his elaborately styled beard, the winding vines tattooed down his arm, the small patch of his stomach peeking out from the hem of his shirt…

kayfabe ; how are they in the ring versus out of the ring? do you write them in a non kayfabe, semi-kayfabe, or full kayfabe world?

In a semi-kayfabe world:

So Crash’s main storyline in what I’ve been calling Locked & Loaded is a fuckery of blurring the lines between kayfabe & shoot. In kayfabe, Crash is the Lock, and the Lock is an unapproachable asshole that mostly communicates through glares and beating the shit out of people. When he does talk, it’s almost always to talk shit. His voice is heavily distorted by the modulator hidden in his mask.

Outside of the restraints of kayfabe, the Lock is Crash, and Crash is just a chill dude trying his best to make money for his family while his father’s racing career is on hold.

Crash’s entire reason for joining up with elweewee was so he could start saving money to pay his sister’s way to the Summer Olympics, so his sister could focus on her training and his mom could focus on her new diner business and his dad could focus on recovering from the mystery illness that took him off the speedway.

He’s a nice guy. Part of him hates playing the Lock because it forces him to be cold and not make any real connections with his coworkers outside of his first feud (Sami) and his “forced” tag partner (Gabriel.) He’s honestly really relieved when he gets “picked” for Neo-Evolution, if only because it potentially means he can make a few more friends.

That glimmer of hope is torn to shreds when Crash is told ahead of time that the storyline is going to end with the Lock being betrayed by Evolution for his arrogance and getting cast out. Creative/Production wants the Lock to constantly chafe against Orton’s leadership and would very much prefer it if Crash made sure he maintained animosity with Orton to make it more believable. Crash swallows his disappointment and keeps a gentle distance between himself and his team after this revelation, because he knows the storyline is gonna hurt like hell and he wants to spare himself a bit of the oncoming misery. He’s already gonna lose Gabriel— no sense in building and burning two bridges at once.

It doesn’t work, in spite of Crash’s best efforts. A quiet part of Randy Orton does really like how ballsy the Lock is, and he can see a glimmer of the real man beneath the act. And Crash does come to really appreciate and like Orton, and getting fake betrayed by him and Gabe still hurts like a bitch.

When Crash comes back as himself, his first backstage act is to find Randy and apologize for how he acted while playing the Lock. He doesn’t expect Orton to pat him on the head and tell him he did a damn good job making himself out to be a vile little shitweasel.

In a full-kayfabe world:

Werewolf Crash is just there to have a good time and help out his godfather Adam & the rest of the brood lol. He is big puppydog

suplex ; have they sustained any major injuries? how did that effect their career? are they quick at recovering or no?

Answered here for Crash

Hmm, best personal gift that someone could give me... I'd say something handmade that they put a lot of thought into. My mom made me a crochet bunny and mouse recently and they mean more than any other store bought plushie. I still have a frog she made me when I was in elementary school. 🥰
