Joel casual concept sketch and little piece of chapter 6 of you all to enjoy

and in the rain (give you sunshine) - a Cloak and Dagger FanFic [1/1]

tv show: Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger

pairing: Tandy Bowen/Tyrone Johnson

tags: fluff, emotional hurt/comfort, one shot

words: 1605

excerpt

The hardwood floor beneath is body is cold and hard, and it keeps him from falling asleep immediately in his drained state. So he lies awake there for minutes, uncomfortable but content because at least Tandy is safe and tranquil in her sleep. Or at least that's what he thinks until he makes out her murmuring, “Ty?”

He clears his throat before answering her, “Yeah?”

She doesn't speak right away, and he can't see her at all - not only from the darkness, but from his location on the ground, which he just about hates right now. But he waits, and then she speaks.

“I miss him,”

The Rules: write the first sentence of the last ten stories you’ve written and look for patterns. Then tag some friends.

uhh. lets see how badly this goes i guess?

The Best Gift: Oliver wakes up on Christmas morning to the sound of his name being called.

The Best Start: Oliver can't quite believe he's made it to another year and it's near impossible that things have turned out for the better, he thinks.

For My People (especially for you): Felicity forgets sometimes that not everyone arrives here with the intention to fight.

(if you must leave) leave as though fire burns under your feet: When Oliver gets home from saying goodbye to Thea and Roy, his entire body feels drained, bones dreary and tired in a way that differs from any of the other times he’s slugged through the apartment to get to his and Felicity’s bedroom.

(is it desire) or is it love that i'm feeling for you?: Felicity curses under her breath as she stumbles over a stone on the grass lawn, discreetly glancing around at the people passing by in an attempt to ensure no one saw that ungraceful and surely embarrassing moment.

(and in the rain) give you sunshine: The shrill echo of dried leaves cracking beneath their feet is the only sound perceptible throughout the hauntingly still night surrounding them. [tyrandy fic]

(never gonna) Feel The Same: “Thanks so much for even considering this. I assure you that both our companies along with so much more people will benefit from this joint endeavor."

sweet as cherry wine: When it happens, he's certain he dies for a second, just like she has. [tyrandy fic]

remember to forget you: The muted whir of fluorescent lights somewhere above him greets Oliver as he pushes himself into consciousness.

Keep This Between Us: Felicity’s trying very hard to concentrate on what Mr. Michaels is saying, she honestly is.

i definitely do the thing where i immediately mention the name of the character that im providing the pov for. i hadn't realized that i did that but... this was highkey insightful? ill try to not do that as often from here on out.

- To start, I wanna mention that Grian, Jimmy, Joel, and Gem are family. Grian, Jimmy and Joel are biological brothers, and Gem is their adopted sister. Their last name is Solidarity, and their middle names are more related to the person. I just really like the family in Wild Life, and in the fics that I read recently, I interpreted their dynamic as one of siblings, and I am taking some decently big inspo from these fics. I imagine their family to be like the characters from The Outsiders. Idk why, just do. Also, I’m going to refer to these characters as the Gang, because they are their own little family villain gang, but also so I don’t have to type their names a ton lol

- As alluded to, the Gang are villains. Joel is the main leader, but the others are still pretty involved. Joel led them to being villains after Lizzie’s disappearance (will touch on later), blaming it on heroes.

- As you can maybe guess by that then, Etho is a hero. Other heroes include (at this point in my developing): Scott, Scar, BDubs, BigB

- Other villains are: Pearl, Ren, Martyn, Impulse dabbles in villainy sometimes

- Skizz, Tango, Cleo, Mumbo, and Lizzie are civilians

- Now to get to Lizzie. I wanted her to have the same “haunting the narrative” stuff she does in Hermitcraft s10, but I also wanted to play around with her Empires s1 lore a bit. So she’s an axolotl/fairy model that disappeared about 2 years ago (at the start of the story). She was Joel’s girlfriend, and dreamed of being a strong hero. However, she didn’t have much power on her own, especially out of water. So she immediately signed up when the S.P.I.P.A. (will talk about next) proposed giving civilians artificial superpowers. Lizzie was ecstatic; she would be able to hang out with all her friends and save people, like she had always dreamed. Things didn’t go the way anyone planned. She began losing her memories, and eventually she was just.. gone. Joel blamed her disappearance on the S.P.I.P.A., and chose to forever fight against them, starting the Gang and quickly becoming one of the top villains in the world. He really misses Lizzie.

- Now for the S.P.I.P.A.! The acronym means “Super Powered Individual Protection Association.” They’re basically the big organization most heroes in the city are under. Joel hates them with every fiber of his being. The whole Lizzie thing was actually an accident, but did anyone care to talk to the madman burning down their trucks and their outposts? Absolutely not. Mumbo works with them quite a bit, but he’s pretty unaware of their inner workings.

Now time for the even more fun stuff! The characters themselves!!

This section will include powers, species, and alter egos. At the end will also be some relationships pre-existing at the start of the story as well as some of the extra abilities of characters. Also please note, this is only characters I’ve developed! Please feel free to give suggestions for characters!

Joel - Phoenix/demon, fire powers but also faster healing and soft precognition, alter ego is Wildfire

Grian - Parrot/demon, star powers but also syncognition and soft mind control, alter ego is the Watcher

Jimmy - Canary/demon, water and electricity powers, alter ego is the Bandit (<- place holder name, need some more ideas!)

Gem - Jackalope centaur, sculk control, alter ego is the Wilt

Etho - Arctic fox, ice powers and soft metal control, alter ego is Hoarfrost

Scott - Unicorn, light flower power (like light magic and flower magic combined), alter ego name is still in progress

Martyn - Bat/small bit of demon, plant control and super hearing as well as artificial mind reading, alter ego is the Liege

Ren - Were-hound, soft shapeshifting and blood magic, alter ego is His Majesty

Scar - Cat, powers undecided, alter ego is Hawkeye/HotGuy

Pearl - Wolf/moth, necromancy and shadow/moon powers, alter ego is Actias Luna (<- placeholder for now, need something more moon or death related)

Now time for pre-existing relationships!! Hooray!

Scott + Jimmy - dated for a while but split after Scott joined S.P.I.P.A. Still sometimes hang out but it’s pretty awkward (also Joel wants him nowhere near Scott)

Grian + Scar - dating (who would have guessed). Grian does a little less villain work because he doesn’t want anyone to catch him with Scar because Scar is terrible at forgetting that they’re supposed to be enemies

Tango + Jimmy - Jimmy has a side job where he’s coworkers with Tango and he’s been trying to get closer with him. Aka Jimmy has a big fat crush on his coworker

Pearl + Gem - Gem and Jimmy are in similar situations with Pearl and Tango. Gem’s got a big fat crush on the most elusive villain (actually maybe person) in the city. Gem and Pearl collab on gadgets and gizmos often and also help each other with supplies

Martyn + Jimmy - Brotherly bond. Martyn helps Jimmy and Jimmy entertains Martyn. Martyn is disliked by the other Gang members, but Jimmy is sure he’s a great guy

Martyn + Ren - Married. For about 3 years. They met in high school theater and went to college together and ended up some pretty good villains. Probably the only villains in the city who are open about their relationship (they always show up together and have matching names). Outside of villainy the two are popular actors in dramas

Lizzie + Joel - Dating up until Lizzie’s disappearance. While Lizzie was doing the S.P.I.P.A. stuff, Joel was working hard to get her a ring. He keeps the ring he finally was able to get on the day of her disappearance in one of his vest pockets. He never goes anywhere without it.

Mumbo + Grian - Very close friends. Mumbo usually doesn’t question the villain stuff Grian keeps from him, so that’s why he’s allowed to stay around.

Character Extra Abilities:

Grouped by if they share some cus I’ve been writing this for a while and I’m lazy so

Jimmy, Scar: Understand animals

Joel: Walking heater, emotions affect intensity of wings and tail

Etho: Walking A/C, emotions affect body by turning some parts to ice (can be melted, it’s usually caused by high stress)

Jimmy: Emotions affect weather (inspired by @/insomnya777’s fic)

Grian: Emotions can turn parts of his body on fire (purple fire)

And that’s it! (For now….)

Little chapter summary: Joel gets his shit rocked and trusts a stranger with his injuries better than his older brother.

(Chapter summaries are gonna be featured on upcoming previews so 1. I have a tiny outline and 2. you guys get a tiny bit of context that can give you an idea on how they got to the point I show! More fun for both of us!)
