I Was Just Imagining This Absolutely Ridiculous Scenario But:

I was just imagining this absolutely ridiculous scenario but:

thinking of buck and Eddie time travelling back to the first day they met, like maybe a few seconds right as they lock eyes when Bobby is introducing them. so enough time to comprehend what's going on but like,,, they can't do anything about it

and Buck cuts Bobby off and goes "Eddie!!!" and Eddie's like "Buck???" and they kind of just run towards each other and crash into a hug, just squeezing like crazy and laughing.

And Buck's like holding Eddie's face in his hands and turning his head every which way like "Omg you look so young and cute" and Eddie's just laughing like "you're one to talk, you literally look like a baby" while tangling his fingers in buck's hair because it's no longer as curly as it was later because of how buck styled it and he never got to touch it before at this point

and there's a cough behind them and they let go of each other, but they're still kind of wrapped around each other and the entire crew is just staring at them like "what the fuck"

and buck is a fucking troll and gives this shit eating grin and goes "let me introduce you to Eddie Diaz, my absolute best friend and the father of the child of my heart" and he's not joking but he jsut wanted to see people's faces

before his eyes kinda go wide and he turns back to Eddie like, "wait, do you think chris remembers me?" since apparently they've gone back in time???? no one else in the room seems like they did, so did anyone else??? what if chris looks at him like a stranger after he's been co-parenting him for years?

Eddie just shrugs, unbothered, and goes, "I have no clue but even if he doesn't, I'm sure he'll love you just as much as the first time you met. you're his buck" and buck visibly takes psychic damage and nearly crumbles because he loves his little family

anyways, throughout this entire thing, everyone is just not sure what to think, because? apparently buck knows this new guy, and they've never heard of him before? and they're all over each other and they seem to have been raising a kid together at some point? what's even going on?

every time Buck or Eddie opens their mouth for the rest of the shift, it's just more lore drop. people are tryna put pieces together on how they met or what their relationship is. they deny that they ever dated when asked but Eddie, from where he's laying on buck's lap goes, "but we do get that a lot, don't we?" and buck's nodding like there's nothing strange going on

shift ends with buck automatically following Eddie to his car and when someone calls out to ask where he's going, he shouts back "we're gonna go pick up our kid!!" and then they get in the car and drive away, leaving Buck's jeep in the parking lot

wife-plot fireworks (SVSSS)

Cumplane, Shang Qinghua & Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu (vibes are there for both, readers choice). Canon universe.

It’s not like Airplane could be expected to remember everything he wrote about; he’s not Cucumber-bro who could simply flip through his rolodex of complaints for whatever plotline they stumble into. Writing isn’t an exact science, there’s too many scenes gutted for their edible flesh and the bones discarded onto his cluttered apartment floor for him to keep track of who, what, when, where. He’d been fucking starving, okay? Real singing-for-his-supper shit which is cute when he had been in his twenties, desperate when he hit thirty, and downright chronic when forty began to loom on the horizon. So all of the papapa scenes that got Cucumber-bro’s silken boxers in such a twist had been necessary after a point, the reasons thinner and thinner as he scraped his knife against his bread to make it stretch further.

“Disgraceful,” Shen Qingqiu snaps, each syllable as crisp as the fan he wields with devastating accuracy at the back of Shang Qinghua’s head. He’s pulling his blows, a necessity given their current situation, and Shang Qinghua takes the next corner without slowing, planting his sword in the ground to give him the leverage needed.

“Hey, bro! Not cool.” Shang Qinghua hefts Shen Qingqiu higher — fuck, there’s barely anything to him, inertia might be keeping him stable but it wasn’t doing anything to cushion the hips currently bruising Shang Qinghua’s shoulder, his collarbone — wobbles and keeps running. “Not my fault that you seem to be wife-plot catnip for every poor sucker you bat your eyelashes at.”

“I do not—” Another corner, another slide of Shen Qingqiu across Shang Qinghua’s shoulder, slight enough that if he keeps whining then Shang Qinghua is just going to tuck him under one arm to carry him. Out of the corner of his eye, Shen Qingqiu’s face is crimson, a flush covering his sharp features like a veil. “—bat my eyelashes!”

He does. Might be thinking it makes him look sophisticated or even mysterious, that lidded gaze from behind his fan, and it does. Sometimes.

“You agreed to be a human sacrifice, Cucumber-bro.”

“Airplane-bro, it’s the wife-plot for 287, I’m sure of it.”

Fuck, how many narrow alleyways did one small town need? In the distance, Shang Qinghua can still make out the mob condensing behind them, their shouts barely audible beneath the desperate pounding of his own heart.

Shen Qingqiu continues, measured the same way he must have written his novels entirely in comment-format, rapid-fire and barely pausing for breath. “She was the daughter of a village chief and Binghe encountered her during a spring festival that was held every ten years, like everytime he turned up at some small village.”

“Cucumber-bro, it was what the readers wanted and festivals are fun and convenient.”

“Hack writer.”

“Who’s carrying your skinny wife-plot arse around.”

Shen Qingqiu scowls, palpable through the very air cooling several degrees. Shang Qinghua, his heart lodged in his throat, his lungs burning for air, reflexively turns to look for a portal, waits for a heavy hand on his shoulder. Shit, he meant to send a missive to his king over an hour ago. They round another corner, Shang Qinghua’s shoulder knocking into the building opposite, bruising but that’s a problem for later, and slide to a halt.

A crowd stares back, dark eyes glittering beneath the flare of their torches, faces shadowed by the encroaching gloom.

Shen Qingqiu lowers himself to look beneath Shang Qinghua’s elbow, the ornament from his hair finally coming loose and landing with a gentle plink on the cobblestones. His hair falls freely with it, dark tresses brushing the ground.

“Give us back the maiden!” A voice shouts from the back, indignant, brash to match the flourish of a blade drawn.

“Time to run. Again!”

“Head for the outskirts,” Shen Qingqiu snaps, fumbling with the pouch at his waist as he drags himself back upright. It’s uncomfortable, a hand shoved between a press of bone against bone, a flare of energy that bursts behind Shang Qinghua’s eyes like a three-day-old headache. “If we can just set off the fireworks, then the festival will be over and they’ll stop chasing us.”

“Remind me how that’ll work? Your plan so far was to volunteer—” Shang Qinghua raises his voice to a near shout, slamming his words over Shen Qingqiu’s spluttered complaint. “—and then say ‘No time to explain. Just grab the fireworks and follow me.’ You got three steps away.”

“Without-A-Cure was your creation.”

“This entire place is my creation.” Shang Qinghua can’t let himself dwell too long on that fact because then he’d need to sit down somewhere dark and quiet and chew his knuckles until they bleed. The buildings are becoming sparser now, glimpses of the horizon visible in the spaces between them, but it doesn’t help the sinking sensation of eyes crawling over his skin, something small and fragile skittering out in the open while a predator circles overhead.

Shouts echo behind him but he doesn’t slow, vaulting over a fence and sinking into the tangle of grass on the other side. He lands on his knees in a crouch, tipping himself sideways to let Shen Qingqiu down with a grunt of effort. He’s no longer moving so the panic begins to fizz in his belly, his eyes wide and staring out at the tiny pinpricks of light filtering between the buildings. “What now?”

“Wife 287 was scheduled to participate in the festival but Binghe’s cultivation prowess caused a reaction and the spirits were appeased early.”

Shang Qinghua chews his lower lip, pulling some of the grass free in front of him and twisting it around his fingers. Lights skim across his vision, the crowd still searching for them both, and he ties a knot into the grass, beginning to braid it. “So, fireworks?”

“Fireworks. If you could?”

It’s kind of nice to just lie down and watch the fireworks rain overhead. Shen Qingqiu’s fingers twist into Shang Qinghua’s, squeezing tight before they relax.

I am also a sucker for your top 10 worldbuilding posts so here's another one: top 10 times the media got some TMI on Victor and Yuuri's relationship (and does it include Victor drunkenly revealing they switch to tabloids and Chris' speech at the wedding about where they've done the nasty?)

The wedding was strictly family and friends only so Chris’speech never got made public (Yuuri would have died if it did!) but there havebeen several incidents where the media learned a lot more about Viktor andYuuri than they ever expected.

Top 10 Times The Media Got Some TMI On Victor and Yuuri’s Relationship:

10) Once - when Yuuri was competing in the Four Continentsand Viktor was on the side-lines to cheer him on - during the warm up Yuuri waspracticing his quad flip over and over to make sure he got it right whileViktor was doing an interview at the side of the rink and the reporter sort ofoffhandedly mentioned ‘oh, Katsuki has been doing jumps for a while now and hedoesn’t even look tired, I guess it must be true that he has really goodstamina’ and Viktor just went really dreamy eyed and said ‘yes’ whilecompletely ignoring the interviewer and gazing at Yuuri. And the reporter andthe camera man just ended up looking at each other like ‘should we finish theinterview or just let him keep daydreaming about his sex life?’

9) During the season after the end of chapter 14 Viktor’sexhibition skate was the Stay Close To Me duet and afterwards one of thereporters asked Yuuri ‘were you ever concerned about doing the lifts during the routine?Were you sure Nikiforov was going to be able to hold your weight or were youworried he might drop you?’. And Yuuri was just like ‘No, I had faith in himand we already knew he could lift me up pretty easily anyway’ which he probablywould have gotten away with if he hadn’t proceeded to go bright red afterwardswhen he realised what he’d said and everyone who watched it was like ‘we kindof really want to know but at the same time we probably really don’t.’

8) After Viktor finally retired he was doing a jointinterview with Yuuri and one of the reporters asked him if he was concernedabout maintaining his physical condition now that he wasn’t competing anymore becauselots of athletes have a hard time adjusting once they stop such vigoroustraining regimes. And Viktor was just like, ‘I’m sure it won’t be a problem, I’llstill be getting some pretty intense regular exercise even if I’m not traininganymore’ and winked at Yuuri and Yuuri started blushing really badly while allthe reporters went into minor meltdowns

7) Once they ended up being caught by reporters a few daysafter Viktor’s birthday when they were out taking the dogs for a walk and itwas mostly fine but one of the reporters asked Yuuri what he had given Viktoras a birthday present and they both went bright red and Yuuri sort of mumbled ahurried and fake sounding answer that probably wasn’t even in English andpractically sprinted off. No-one ever found out exactly what Viktor’s ‘present’was but there was a lot of speculation and the general consensus became thatYuuri Katsuki was probably a lot kinkier than anyone ever expected and ViktorNikiforov was a very lucky guy.

6) This one came in a series of tweets from a fan who was inan upmarket hotel bar which basically consisted of, ‘oh my god Viktor Nikiforovis in the same bar as I am what should I do?’ ‘He’s sitting alone do you thinkI should go and talk to him? Would it be weird to ask for his autograph?’ ‘Iwonder why Katsuki isn’t with him, it’s the off season I thought they’d betogether’ ‘Oh my god I just noticed he isn’t wearing his ring what does thismean?’ ‘He just started to talk to a guy who sat down next to him and he’sbeing really flirty oh my god.’ ‘Is Viktor Nikiforov having an affair????’ ‘Help,red alert I’ve just seen Viktor Nikiforov in a bar chatting up some random guywithout his ring on what do I do?’ ‘Oh wait a minute the guy he was talking tojust turned around and it turns out it was actually Katsuki after all. Panicover.’ ‘Wait a minute Katsuki isn’t wearing his ring either, they can’t haveboth lost them at the same time can they?’ ‘They’re acting really weirdlythough and they’re dressed differently too I’m confused but I don’t want to interrupt’*several minutes pause* ‘Well something I definitely didn’t expect to happentonight was finding out that Katsuki and Nikiforov are apparently into roleplay but you learn something new every day.’

5) After being apart for a long time during the skatingseason they finally reunited at an airport and it was all very dramatic andViktor ended up kissing Yuuri really passionately for a really long time. Andwhen they broke away Yuuri was like ‘that reminded me of our first kiss, afterthe competition in Saitama.’ And Viktor was like ‘I did a lot more than just kissyou then solnyshko’ being all sly and flirty and then they both sort of frozeas they realised that A) they were in a very public airport which is not a goodplace to be heavily flirting even if you have been apart for several months andB ) Several people were not so discreetly filming them. And that was how theworld learned exactly when and where Viktor and Yuuri got it on for the firsttime.

4) During thefour continents after they first got together Viktor ended up doing the thingin he did in the anime where he tied Yuuri’s laces and kissed his skates whilebeing there to support him. And at that point their public relationship wasstill only a few months old so while the reaction was mainly positive therewere still some assholes who were salty about the whole thing including one trashytabloid reporter who cornered Yuuri after his skate who was obviously a die-hardViktor fan and didn’t like him or their relationship at all. And while Yuuri isusually quiet and shy and likes to keep as much about their relationshipprivate as he can because he doesn’t want the world butting in, he also isabsolutely savage when he wants to be and after going through so much tofinally get together with Viktor he is not willing to take any shit fromanyone. So the reporter was being really bitchy and asking questions like ‘don’tyou think it’s a bit degrading to make Viktor Nikiforov get down on his kneesfor you?’ and Yuuri just really calmly said ‘not really, he likes it too much’,smiled and walked away. The video clip of it happening has several millionviews.

3) At one point Viktor and Yuuri were on the beach atHasetsu and Viktor took a picture of Yuuri in his boxers (they had forgottentheir swimming stuff but got too hot and went to cool off in the sea) andnothing else while laughing on the beach. And while 99.9% of the comments wereall along the lines of ‘goddamn’, ‘please step on me’ and ‘Yuuri Katsuki with hisshirt off is a gift to humanity’ there were a couple off assholes who werecommenting on the stretch marks on Yuuri’s thighs. Because he was a naturallychubby kid with a lot of puppy fat and went from that to a lean athleticteenager in a very short space of time so he has them although they’re not thatnoticeable. And Viktor doesn’t usually care when people are rude to him onlinebecause there are always a few shitty people out there but it really pisses himoff when someone insults Yuuri. So when someone tweeted him like ‘you’re reallyhot, why do you bother with someone with ugly stretch marks like Katsuki?’ he respondswith ‘I love every part of my boyfriend including his marks. I especially liketo kiss them every night when his thighs are wrapped round my head.’ whichpretty much shut all the haters up there and then. Yuuri hit him with a pillowfor it afterwards but he was secretly kind of pleased.

2) The day after one of the major competitions Yuuri wasgiving an interview and the interviewer asked ‘now that the competition is overhas the tiredness set in yet and are you ready to go home or are you stillriding high on the adrenaline from last night?’ and Chris, who happened to bewalking past at that moment, was just like ‘well he was certainly ridingsomething last night but it wasn’t the adrenaline.’ Yuuri’s expression after hesaid it became a popular reaction picture for when someone looks like theyphysically want to die of embarrassment.

1) The incident I mentioned in a previous ask where a tipsyViktor ends up getting interviewed by a tabloid reporter when his tongue islooser than usual so when she asks ‘are you the top or the bottom in yourrelationship’ aka the question everyone else wanted to ask but was way toopolite and respectful to, he just winked and said ‘why pick just one.’ And thatwas how the world found out that Viktor and Yuuri switch.
