Crocodile x Mihawk x Buggy fic idea for you: Mihawk and Crocodile are stunned when they each discover both Yoru and Crocodile's gold hook missing. The both of them immediately suspect that Buggy did something. Pissed six ways to Hell they go looking for their "fearless leader". They find him in one of the workshops and all anger is replaced with astonishment when they find Buggy polishing Yoru to a radiant shine, while Crocodile's hook hand is already gleaming like it's been kissed by the sun itself. When they get closer, Mihawk is quietly stunned to see that Buggy has gone so far as to rewrap the hilt of the strongest blade in brand new gleaming white leather. Buggy does his best to be non-chalant as he explains that he simply wants his " Lieutenants" looking their best as he hands Crocodile his hook and assures Mihawk he's almost done polishing Yoru. The gesture actually shifts Mihawk and Crocodile's attitude towards Buggy after that. Before he knows it, Buggy is the one getting stunned when he winds up with the world's strongest swordsman and the former but still formidable leader of Baroque Works declaring that they are both in love with him and mean belong to him just as much as he does to them. Cue the absolute chaos that somehow becomes a genuinely loving throuple and a true for to be reckoned with in the pirate world.

Title: Buggy's guide to bagging boyfriends

Ch: 1/?

Rating: PG-ish for now ig (But let's talk later about it.)

Word count: 2835

Chapter except:

The room fills with tension as the two other members of Cross Guild glare at him, and Crocodile is the first to speak up, “Where’s my damn hook?!” He asks, and even though it's first thing in the morning, his voice is still, loud, deep, and intimidating, and he doesn’t sound like he’s in a good mood… but, then again, Buggy doesn’t think he ever is. Mihawk follows suit, asking his own question afterwards in a significantly quieter, yet equally as intimidating voice, “...And why do you have my sword?”

Well, so much for the surprise...

It’s not like Buggy’s a workaholic or anything like that, he’s far from it actually. It’s just that even after he’s done doing his duties for the day, he often finds it hard to shut his brain off at night. He often tosses and turns in his bed, thinking about what he has to do in the morning or for the week, and sometimes finds himself wanting to get a head start on things. Tonight, he finds himself in another one of those situations, unable to sleep no matter how hard he tries because he keeps on thinking about Cross Guild and all that he has to do.

He has to have new weapons and medical supplies ordered, and he also has new men to welcome into the crew, each of whom he has to find a job for because Mihawk and Crocodile, while skilled in many things, aren’t big fans of doing the more simple tasks; like assigning their men jobs or giving them pep talks, or sending their families money after they’ve made an enemy out of themselves for attacking the marines. Damn, he has more bounties that need to be made too, and he has old ones that need to be taken off the market.

There’s so much to do, and part of him wants to go to sleep, but another part of him also wants to get back up and get right back to work again. It’s weird.

Two, three, and then four o'clock, quickly passes him by as he continues to think about all that he has to do. He feels full of energy right now despite the fact that prior to lying down, he felt exhausted. He kept yawning and could barely keep his eyes open, but now, as he lies in his bed, it seems like he can’t fall asleep no matter how hard he tries. It seems like his previous exhaustion was just a sick prank his brain played on him. Thanks, brain. He continues to think about Cross Guild, he wasn’t exactly serious about it before. He was more or less just in it because he needed to repay his debt to Crocodile, but now… Well, he can’t say it’s the worst thing in the world.

It has its cons of course: Mihawk and Crocodile are always bullying him, plus they make him run around like a chicken with its head cut off, doing what could only be considered more of a manager role than the big boss role, but Buggy kind of enjoys it actually. It makes the days go by a little quicker because he has so many things to do and men to look after these days, and he thinks his responsibilities are only going to grow in the future.

His thoughts shift slightly, and he goes from thinking about all the things he needs to do to thinking about his ‘subordinates’ and his relationship with them. Buggy’s always had a rather rocky relationship with Mihawk and Crocodile but…It’s not like he would be opposed to being their friend or anything like that, the two just never seemed interested in anything other than a work relationship (or beating him up.) But maybe if Buggy actually put in an effort to be their friend, they could fix things and this Cross Guild thing could really kick ass! Perhaps if he did something nice for them, they’d stop hating him and see that Buggy’s not that bad of a guy after all.

Should he do that?

He finds himself wondering if he should just give this whole Cross Guild thing his all, you know, make the best out of a bad situation because he’s not going anywhere any time soon… Maybe there are ways to make his, Mihawk, and Crocodile’s relationship better, like, maybe he could get them all matching red cloaks, that’d make them look like a flashy team, right?? Okay, they’d probably kill him on the spot if he did something like that. Oh, uh, maybe he could gift them some sake! Wait…They’re kind of snobby and only drink aged wine or some crap. Uh, uh… what could he do for them?

A sudden idea pops up in Buggy’s mind and he glances over at the clock by his bedside again, wondering how in just a few short seconds it went from four in the morning to almost six. Gah, time doesn’t make sense, but that doesn’t matter right now.

What are the most important things to Crocodile and Mihawk? Why, it’s their hook and sword of course! Well, actually, he’s pretty sure the most important thing to Crocodile is money and power, but that doesn’t matter! What if he shined their things for them!! That would be nice, wouldn’t it? And then they would definitely stop hating him and being mean to him, right? They’d have to! They’ll want to be his best friend if he does something that nice!! Buggy will give Crocodile’s hook and Mihawk’s sword a nice shine, and then they’ll be all like, ‘Oh, my god, Buggy. You’re so amazing, you’re so wonderful, you’re so sexy and smart, we love you!!!!’ Okay, wait, they probably won’t do the last thing, but Buggy can hear their praises now.

God, he’s so smart.

Buggy hops out of bed, quickly gets himself dressed, and then makes his way out of his tent. The island feels so calm and peaceful right now as his men continue to sleep in the early morning hours. Everything is deserted and quiet, and Buggy enjoys the scenery, finding Emptee Bluffs island the most beautiful during early summer mornings such as this. Buggy just so happens to notice that the sun is just barely beginning to peek over the horizon as he heads to Crocodile’s tent first, and he takes a moment to admire its beauty before continuing on with his tasks. He's so excited for this! He’s going to have two, not one, but two, super cool best friends!

As Crocodile’s tent comes into view, Buggy’s heart starts pounding in his chest because, despite knowing he has nothing but good intentions, he knows that if Crocodile were to discover what he plans on doing, then he’d wring his neck for sure. So, he quietly sneaks into Crocodile’s tent, and in his room, he can just barely make out the soft sounds of snoring coming from over at his bed. Perfect, Buggy thinks, hoping that there might be a chance that Crocodile doesn’t sleep with his hook on, and as he crouches down and makes his way slowly across the dimly lit room, he notices the object of his desire lying right on top of Crocodile’s nightstand.

Perfect. He’s going to be so surprised! Buggy’s going to just take this for a little while, but he’s going to make sure he returns Crocodile’s hook, and of course, Mihawk’s sword, before either of them realizes that their belongings have even gone missing!

Buggy quickly snatches up Crocodile’s hook, clutching it close to his chest, and then goes after his next target: Yoru. He thinks things might be a little more difficult considering that Mihawk may very well be awake at this time since he seems like an early riser, and Buggy has often seen him taking morning walks around the island or getting a cup of coffee from the cafeteria. It’ll be alright though, maybe he’ll be asleep or out of his tent. Buggy wastes little time making his way over to Mihawk’s tent, peeking his head in first to see if he’s awake or even inside, and when he realizes that his tent is empty, but Yoru is resting against the side of his bed, he grins, grabbing Mihawk’s beloved sword and quickly making a run for it.

Buggy can try to hide Crocodile’s hook but, obviously, it’ll be a little hard given its size, but there’s no way that he could possibly hide Mihawk’s sword, so he makes a quick run for it towards one of the island’s workshops, grunting on the way there from the sheer weight of both items. He looks around the shop once he’s inside, searching for some polishing cream and a rag, and struggling for a moment because he doesn’t usually come to this place. Usually, he just stops by for a few minutes to check up on his men, so he doesn’t know where anything is. Everything is so familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time, but he eventually finds what he needs and begins working on his surprise, having a seat on a stool and polishing Crocodile’s hook first.

He grunts again as he holds the heavy metal in his hands, wondering how Crocodile can even use this as a prosthetic with how heavy it is. He thinks it has to be at least a good thirty pounds alone, but that’s none of Buggy’s concern, he just took it so that he would be able to give it the shine it needs. Not only does giving this bad boy a good shine seem nice, but wouldn’t it be cooler if Crocodile engaged in battle with the Marines or even one of the mighty four emperors (not Buggy though.) and he had the coolest, most shiniest, most bad ass hook the world’s ever seen?!

Hell yeah, it would be! Crocodile is going to look so freaking cool thanks to Buggy!!!

He polishes the hook once, but it honestly doesn’t look shiny enough the first time around, so Buggy decides to polish it again, and then actually a third time because he wants that bad boy to shine like a diamond…even though it’s gold. It doesn’t matter, he just wants it to look pretty. He wants it so shiny that light will bounce off it and blind people, that’s how shiny he wants Crocodile’s gold hook to be, and as he finishes polishing it, he smiles to himself, now a little sweaty because of the poor ventilation in the workshop.

Buggy moves on to Yoru next and as he holds the sword up, he once again takes the time to mentally complain about the pure weight of the object alone, wondering how Mihawk carries the damn thing on his back all the time without having any problems. He must have a spine made out of steel.

(Buggy wishes he could say the same.)

Buggy stares at the sword, admiring its beauty for a moment before lying it down on the workbench in front of him, he notices as he begins to polish the blade that the bandages around the hilt are a little ragged and dirty now, most likely from how much its owner uses it, and Buggy gets another idea in his head at that moment, wondering if there’s anything that he can rewrap the hilt of the sword with. He figures that he’ll worry about that a bit later though as he begins to polish Yoru, and just like with Crocodile’s hook, Buggy can’t help but think that the sword would look so much cooler and prettier if it was shinier. Like, yeah, it’s already stunning, but it just needs that extra layer of flashiness to really make it stand out, and so he takes his time polishing the blade, shining it until it’s bright and pretty, and so dazzling it makes Buggy’s eyes hurt, and once he’s done he looks for something to rewrap the hilt with.

It takes him a little while, but he does eventually find some white leather that he thinks could probably be used to wrap the hilt with, and he begins to unwrap the bandages from around the sword, which, by the way, takes a whole lot longer than Buggy thought it would. He eventually manages to get the bandages wrapped around the hilt off though, and then proceeds to wrap, and unwrap, and then wrap the sword again. He does this several times because this too, isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, but he slowly starts to figure out how to make the leather around the hilt look juuuust right...When all of a sudden, he hears loud, quick footsteps coming from the outside of the tent, but he figures it's just his men ready to start their day.

How long have I been here? Buggy wonders as he continues to wrap Yoru’s hilt. He doesn’t have a watch on him, but he doesn’t feel like he’s spent that much time in the workshop, maybe because he’s genuinely enjoying himself and likes the idea of possibly making Mihawk and Crocodile happy?

“Hey, Clown, you in there?!”

Buggy pauses in an instant. Crocodile…? He wonders, taking a moment to figure out who the gravelly voice that just called out to him belongs to. Oh no! The surprise, it’s going to be ruined if he doesn–

Too late.

Mihawk and Crocodile come barging into the tent, both red in the face and looking like they want to snap Buggy’s neck but to be fair, they always look like that. Buggy pauses for a moment and stares up at his two chief officers, unsure of how to explain himself now that he’s been caught. Damn it, he really thought that he could get everything done before they realized their stuff was missing!! Seriously, how long has he been in the workshop?!

Well, so much for the surprise...

Buggy places Yoru down for a moment as the other two former warlords approach him, and he notices how their expressions go from unbridled rage to pure confusion in a moment’s notice as soon as they get a little closer to him. He stands up and picks up Crocodile’s hook first and hands it to him, “I know I shouldn’t have taken your stuff,” He admits, and both Mihawk and Crocodile’s confusion only seems to grow, “But I just suddenly thought to myself: ‘Wow, i want to do something nice for them so that maybe we could be friends…and that you guys would look so cool if your weapons were all clean and shiny…” He chuckles lightly for a moment, trying to find the right words to explain how he got ahead of himself, but everything was all out of the goodness of his heart.

“Seriously, guys, i was hoping that i could get everything polished before you even noticed your things were gone, but obviously that didn’t happen…” He sighs, rubbing the back of his head, “But, yeah, i wasn’t trying to make you guys mad or anything, just wanted you to look cool and to be friends!”

There’s absolute silence after Buggy’s explanation. Crocodile looks down at his hook, twisting and turning it in his hand as he examines it, and then suddenly he mutters a quiet, “Whatever, just don’t steal it again.” before he makes his leave, and honestly… Considering this is Crocodile we’re talking about, Buggy feels like things went a lot better than they could have… but still, he’s a little disappointed at that reaction. Was Crocodile’s hook not shiny enough? Or is he just really upset that Buggy stole his hand in the first place? Ah, shucks… Maybe he messed up. Maybe he should have done something else for him instead…Is his relationship with Crocodile going to be even more strained because of this?

Aw, man. He hopes not!

Buggy turns to Mihawk next, who is still staring at him speechlessly with wide eyes. He gives him a small, little smile, hoping that he hasn’t screwed things up with Mihawk too, “Uh, no offense, but the bandages around your sword were a little worn out, so uh, i thought i’d rewrap your sword too. I’m almost done, just give me a second,” Buggy tells him and then sits back down on the stool he was using, quickly finishing his job and wrapping Yoru’s hilt tightly, and afterwards he stands back up and gives Mihawk a proper grin, hoping that he might be a little more appreciative of his gift. “There! All done,” He says, handing the sword back to its owner.

Mihawk continues to just stare at him even after he gets his sword back, and honestly, Buggy didn’t do any of this for a thank you or praise, even though that would be nice, he did this because he genuinely wanted to change things between him, Hawkeye, and Crocodile…So, he’s a little shocked when Mihawk simply sighs before quickly leaving the workshop too, not even saying another word to Buggy.

…So, are they not going to be super cool best friends?

((A/N: Hopefully this isn't ASS.))

Themes in Pit Babe (or why the racing omegaverse show is deeper than you think) - Part 2

Part 1 here. Let's keep this thought train rolling.

Part 2: Self-Worth & Relationships

To start, a few notes about self-worth.

We're all deeply familiar with the common refrains around finding your own sense of self-worth without relying on others. Think of the whole RuPaul "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?" kind of thing.

Which on the surface is a fine message, and absolutely it is a good thing to put time into self-reflection and finding value in your inherent self.

But of course this is real life, and as lovely as it would be to be able to catchphrase ourselves to that perfect place, it is much more nuanced than that.

For one, many of us who have fairly solid senses of self-worth (and I do include myself in that category) will still have days where we wake up and feel like a completely horrible unlovable mess of a person. This is called being a human. It's normal to have ebbs and flows, and peaks and valleys. We're on a journey, y'all, and when it comes to growth and self-actualization, no one makes it all the way to the end.

For two, humans are social creatures, and we cannot help but be influenced by who is around us in our lives. You can have the strongest sense of self-worth in the world, but you end up surrounded by people who treat you like shit all the time - it's gonna have an impact.

And, of course, we have to also acknowledge the impact of being part of marginalized communities, and how insecurities around worthiness can become very internalized by the constant reinforcement of bias and oppression.

All of that to say, who is in your life can be deeply important when it comes to self-worth. You shouldn't be seeking a relationship with someone just to feel like you matter, but the person/people you are around should absolutely make you feel like you do.

Ok, let's get back to Pit Babe!

Pete/Way/Kenta

Ha, no, I don't actually think we'll get a throuple here, but I do find the dynamics really interesting. Both Way & Kenta are characters I would identify as having some of the poorest self-worth in the show, to the extent that they have long been incapable of making their own decisions, and primarily follow orders from Tony.

Way seems to do it more out of despair that Tony's will cannot be defied, while Kenta is heart-breakingly still in a place of needing Tony's approval.

And then we have Pete. Who apparently has a bit of a sad pathetic man addiction. But like I said before, the key to Pete is empathy. He knows their pain.

I'm going to write more later about the critical role Pete plays in the show's theme around self-determination, but for now, I just want to point out how vital he is in showing up for both Way & Kenta, and telling them they matter, and the choices they make matter too.

They've done shitty things, and other characters are rightfully furious and distrustful of them. Pete is the one who said, "you still have value as a human being, don't let Tony define you". He knows what it's like to walk out of your abuser's house and determine a new way to find value and purpose. He's key to Way leaving his place of grief and despair and working to rebuild a path to Babe's trust again. And when Kenta gains the confidence to defy Tony next episode (it's being foreshadowed pretty hard), it'll be because of Pete as well.

Sometimes when we cannot see the value in ourselves, it can mean the world for someone to take our hand and speak it out loud for us.

Alan/Jeff

Ah, my sweet, sweet secondary couple. I love these two. Jeff may have a special ability that is considered valuable, but it's also made him feel utterly unlovable. And then he meets this man, who loves taking underdogs under his wing and giving them chances. And this man is being so kind and so sweet. And even when he learns the truth, learns that loving someone like Jeff comes with more than the usual hardship and challenges, he doesn't hesitate for a single second.

This is part of why I think the age gap works so well here, because this kind of optimism in someone younger might come across as naive. But Alan is not naive. He's experienced, and he knows that someone like Jeff is not going to cross his path ever again. He is going to love Jeff unconditionally, and we can already see the inner shine coming out for our poor vision-addled boy.

Everyone has their flaws, and dark sides. But we are still worthy of loving.

Sonic/North

You thought I wasn't going to give a section to our delightful, one-brain-celled, won't-admit-they-are-a-couple couple?

These boys may be uncomplicated, but their existence as a unit is a big part of what makes them such lovely examples of self-worth. Not all of us are lucky enough to find that person who fits with us like a puzzle piece, but these two have. They may vastly underestimate their importance to each other (see Sonic's face when North jumps in to take hits for him), but the consistency they have in their relationship, and the care they show for each other, gives them such a solid ground for being their authentic little idiot selves.

Never underestimate the value of having a person who you can be your authentic silly weird self with.

Charlie/Babe

And of course, we have the beating heart of our show. Though on the surface he comes across as too-cool-for-school, Babe so deeply needs to feel loved. He is achingly desperate for it.

It's all well and good to tell Babe that he should love himself. That he should feel fine and worthy as he is. But his external success is not enough. He needs intimacy, and trust, and someone to baby the hell out of him. To make him feel like he's worth loving.

But between his own fears, founded by his father's abandonment and his childhood in a cold and neglectful house, and Way's constant reinforcement that he couldn't trust anyone, he was trapped.

And then Charlie shows up. A man who sees no value in himself, but sees the world in Babe. Can you imagine what that experience was like for Babe? To be in a world of ice and have a being of warmth & comfort come and wrap him up in his arms?

As for Charlie, he's doesn't seem to be in a place yet where he truly understands how much he has become Babe's world. But I expect he will get there. He's tenacious and committed. He just needs to realize that others see the value in him that he sees in them.

Self-worth doesn't mean acting strong all the time. We deserve sweetness & softness and having someone we can be a scared babygirl around.

The X-Hunter Crew

Oh, no way am I just talking about romantic relationships here. I love romance, don't get me wrong, but there's plenty of folks who can live quite well and happily without romantic relationships. Romance is put on a pedestal in our society, but it really shouldn't be. Platonic relationships, on the other hand, are incredibly vital, and I wish they were given more status in our world.

And this is what makes the entire crew so important. It's not just about the individuals, or the couples - it's about all of them, as a unit. Call them a team, call them a family, whatever you like.

Because Babe may need someone like Charlie in his life, but he definitely needs the X-Hunter crew. I firmly believe the care he has been given by Alan (and even Way to an extent, when he was in supportive friend mode) is what made him even able to take those first steps with Charlie.

And the family remains critical after he thinks Charlie is dead - the care and love the team give him is vital to him being able to continue functioning. Alan, North, & Sonic give him physical touch and comfort, make sure he's eating, and literally pick him up off the floor when he can't go on.

Just like Sonic & North give each other a stable place to stand, this is what the entire X-Hunter family is able to do for each other. Despite an unfortunate tendency to miss when Jeff gets kidnapped, overall, they look out for each other. Everyone has their place, and knows they're important to the team.

Self-worth is never going to be just about the individual, or the group, but the interweaving of the two. Strong self-worth can help us feel more connected to others, but our connections to others can make us feel more worthy.

A couple of additional thoughts:

Dean let his insecurity override his sense of inherent self-worth. Alan wants to help Dean do better, to push him to grow and develop. And yes, you can debate the sense of putting Charlie into the race, Alan is definitely not perfect. But also denying someone an opportunity is not inherently bad, or a sign of lack of love or trust. Challenge is where growth happens, and people who genuinely want the best for us understand this.

Instead of turning to his family and being vulnerable about how deeply hurt he was, Dean turned away. He let his insecurity and narrow focus on self-worth through racing achievement override everything else. He didn't remotely consider what anyone else might be feeling. He didn't think about what his actions would cost the family long-term. At any point, prior to attempted murder, if he had come to Alan, there would have been compassion. But he pushed it to the point where there was no turning back.

Contrast that with Kim, who knows he has value regardless of whether he wins races, or how he gets treated by his racing crew. He has enough self-worth to not making everything in his life about himself. Which is why he was able to fit in instantly with the X-Hunter team. He's willing to come in, find his place in their little family puzzle, and commit to being there for everyone else just as much as they will be there for him (once we've all moved past their well-intentioned, but failed rescue attempt).

Relationships are essential, but can't magically fix us - we still have to put in the work.

Coming back at ya with that jiankong movie thought:

Honestly it could have work better had was a series. It was too face paced that its passes multiple arcs without letting it sits. Hell it completely bypass the arc Xiaotian(erlang dog. Bc i forgot how his name shorthanded to) was in

Yes the love interest had a plot but it wasn’t prioritized properly and been given to the sideline to push her in like a semi love difficult w erlang.(yes swk was there but he too much of a aroace king for the love triangle plot to affect him bad. He did bonded w her but i considered his strongest bond w erlang in the movie. He was going through it tho😭😭 man was third wheeling.

And it was bad in the end. Like idk what happened?? But they parted ways sadly.(mild spoilers but really, all u need to know what happened is that trope that happened to every swk’s love interest happened here.

Despite the tittle being called a jttw movie, it sured bypassed much of jttw stuff to tell erlang story. HELL IT WAS JUST A MENTION THAT SWK GOT HIS NAME IN THE MOVIE AND SHOWED LITTLE OF THE HAVOC HES CAUSING(erlang was happy to remeeting him tho)

(It was cute tho how despite having no name and being just refer as monkey, both erlang and the love interest cared for him. IT SHOULDVE BEEN THROUPLE—IT FELT LIKE IT SHOULD.

Ye s they fought. FOUGHT N A TEAMUPPPPPP SHEHEHSBSBBE

It shouldve been promoted as a erlang shen origins movie w swk meeting him before puti.

I have sm thought about this film by i dont want to give out much spoilers for those who really want to see it.

This version of swk was too good for erlang shen(he shouldve went OFF I TELL YOUUU)

But its so sad to just not see them side by side😭😭 icant decide—my emotions r too mix

asdgar I'm going to be real with you @birbs-n-cats that sounds like a bit of a Mess, if a kind of fun mess to witness. That said, I am quite liking the idea of a love triangle that keeps falling flat because one of the characters ostensibly in it is too aroace for that nonsense lol. And YEAH I haven't seen many but the Sun Wukong & Erlang Shen teamups out there can be pretty neat to watch :D Also AUGH when will the curse of "love interest lady Dies so the guys are Sad" end????

#ask answered #jiankong #sun wukong #monkey king #erlang shen #yang jian

Whiplash: Part One

Based on this request.

an: this probably won't be my best work but there's more to come and i'll most likely be putting out a part each Sunday. i hit 70+ followers today and it means so much with all the support i've been getting. i'm hoping only to improve and write more.

warnings: mentions of abuse (nothing in detail), mental health struggles (ptsd, anxiety, depression), drinking, throuple relationship (not sure if that should be a warning but i’ll put it there just in case)

The last year was chaotic and wonderful in the best and worst ways. Leaving a toxic relationship was never easy. Having to get used to being with someone, even if they didn’t treat you well. You practically had to pry yourself away from his toxic ‘love’. Meeting your new roommates was probably the best thing you could have done.

Steve and Bucky were extremely supportive of you. The second you told them your situation, they let you know that their spare bedroom was yours for the taking, which made the whole part of moving out of Kyle’s place so much easier and not full of panic, not having to judge anyone’s mood by the way they enter the door.

That comfort wasn’t immediate; it took you some time. There were months of you still getting stomach churning fear when you saw Steve or Bucky come home with a frustrated sigh. You still had that fear that they would take out that anger on you. Months of them seeing your fear and letting you know that their frustrations were never with you. Months of them pulling you into a hug and letting you know that everything would be alright.

Then things took a turn for the best....

The three of you hardly ever had a day off at the same time, maybe once a month. But when that day came up, they only wanted to spend time with you. This one was different though, Bucky and Steve were working away at your favorite meal, filling up the air with an aroma of spices and just warmth.

They knew you would think it was silly but this day off marked six months since you moved in. Six months since you were able to relearn to be yourself. Six months since you felt safe. Bucky and Steve wanted to treat you for being the strongest person they knew…

Waking up from your nap after working nearly 60-freaking-hours the previous week, all you could hear was the slight bickering from the two guys in the kitchen about if what they were making was too salty or ‘didn’t taste the same’ compared to how you made it. Quietly chuckling to yourself, you pulled yourself out of bed and slipped on whatever pajama shorts you could find. You rubbed your eyes as a yawn escaped your body while you were walking out of your room.

“What the hell are you two bickering about this time?” Pulling the stray hairs out of your face and tucking them behind your left ear as you sat at the kitchen island.

Bucky was a bit more reserved than Steve but Steve was a little too busy trying to perfect the mashed potatoes, “We wanted to celebrate… Y’know, for everything you’ve done in the past six months.” He ended with a smile.

Your only response was getting out of the seat you had just sat down on and burying your face into Bucky’s chest for a hug before moving over to hug Steve from behind to show your appreciation. “Is that?...” You trailed off before they both nodded in almost unison.

“Got you your favorite wine too,” Steve nodded toward the bottle of your favorite red on the counter next to him.

You still thought it was silly that they were celebrating a literal half year of living with the two of them but no one had ever really celebrated your small... no… huge victories like these two did.

Your first genuine bit of laughter sprung two whole months after you moved in. You were having a bit of a rough day and Bucky and Steve were trying to do everything in their power to make you laugh. Anything to help you feel a little bit better. They tried nearly everything until Steve poked your side, noticing you move away slightly. Not in fear, you were just incredibly ticklish. Steve's eyes squinted slightly; he had figured you out. They both had noticed.

Minutes later, you were crying laughing as they both took turns gently tickling your sides. It was the first time you had felt safe with human contact in years. There was nothing uncomfortable about the situation, just pure joy.

The three of you were chatting over dinner, chatting about how the meal wasn’t exactly how you made it but it was close. That was all that mattered to you. The fact that they tried as hard as they could to perfect this day for you, and definitely succeeding. You knew in your heart that these two felt like home, which wasn’t something you had experienced in so long.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What felt like days of smiles and laughter, the two guys and you were cleaning up and drinking the last bit of wine from the bottle. The night was still young and you still had the whole day off the next day sparked an idea in your head.

“How about we watch some of Full House? I still can’t believe either of you when you say you haven’t seen it.” You chuckled at the end, plopping down on the couch. Not a single protest came from them as they finished up and walked over to the sofa, sitting on either side of you. After three episodes, you had already made yourself comfortable, head on top of a pillow on Bucky’s lap and legs across Steve’s.

This only made your feelings for them grow more.

Every nice thing they ever did for you just made your heart open for them more. To the point where they even noticed how much you adored them. Your attraction only gave you anxiety but you trusted them. You don’t know how many times you almost kissed them but falling for both of them was what scared you the most.

You had heard of people having more than one partner and having it work out really well, but most of the stories you heard ended badly. The toxic jealousy and fighting that came from a lot of trio relationships was what shied you away the most.

But tonight… tonight was different. It may have been the one too many glasses of wine but you were feeling a bit bold. Not to mention how their hands were respectfully on you, Steve’s hands massaging your legs and Bucky’s hands playing with your hair. You just wanted to have them hold you more intimately.

You propped yourself up, placing a chaste kiss on both of their cheeks, maybe a little too close to their lips, where you truly wanted to kiss them before walking to the bathroom to do whatever you needed. Both men were in slight shock, they looked at each other.

“I freaking knew it,” Steve smirked and scratched the back of his neck, not knowing that you could hear them chatting about who gets to kiss you first from the bathroom.

Walking out, you chuckled at the sight of them trying to sneak the rock, paper, scissors game to see who would actually kiss you first. You sat back in between them, nerves sending goosebumps to the surface of your skin. They both had long forgotten about the tv, facing you this time. The sigh of disappointment on Bucky’s face let you know he lost.

“Can I?-” Steve didn’t even have to finish his sentence and you were already nodding at him.

“Please…” It barely came out as a whisper but Steve heard you, pulling his hands up and gently placing them on either side of your face, never breaking eye contact before leaning in slowly. The most cautious kiss you had ever received was what came next, your hands resting over Steve’s. He was the more outspoken one, surprised he was able to keep his attraction from you this long. Kissing you a few more times, he pulled away breathlessly.

Next up was Bucky, while he was the quieter one, but he put a bit more passion into his kiss with you. Much like Steve, he cradled your face in his hands but his fingertips were loosely tangled in the hair at the base of your neck, not knowing whether to keep his eyes on yours or on your lips. His thumb trailed over your bottom lip before leaning in and pressing a kiss to yours, always making sure you were okay with what was going on.

And that was all that happened…

All three of you wanted more but you knew that it wasn’t the right time or place. You weren’t quite in the headspace to be that intimate with one person, let alone two but both men respected that and just pulled you back into the position you were in prior to leaving for the restroom, paying attention to the TV again. You had filled them in on the little bits that they had missed, you obviously had seen the show a few too many times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, yeah. Things were taking a turn for the best, until a knock at the door and a familiar face took a turn for the worst...

Hi! I have a question for you about Ships pass in the night. Now that the 4th book is out and has been received with....mixed reactions so far. Going forward in your fic is that something you will throw in or will you change it? I'll be honest I knew the joining would happen although I had no idea how. Jla mentioned in the earlier books that the joining didn't have to be sexual yet she not only wrote it as sexual but threw feelings in their. I'm not here for a permanent throuple. Like most of the fans I signed up for poppycas. Not caspoppykieran. If it was just a one off thing then whatever but she left the direction of their relationship really open ended. So idk what she's going to do going forward. I was just curious to know when you get to writing chapters for twotq if you'll write it the way it was written or if you'll do a fix it fic version and take creative liberties writing is as it should've been. I know a lot of fans are upset at the direction she went so I'm curious about how you feel about it?

So the answer is a mix of things! First, with my feelings about the fourth book: I was always ambivalent about the joining. Ao3 had some excellent joining/threesome stories that I really liked. But the idea of putting it in the books as canon? I was iffy on if it would work. I thought it would happen, but I’ve always had private criticisms of some of JLA’s writing style/POV that made me doubt if I’d like the result. If it did happen, I wanted them to get their proper character build ups to that point. Cas was just imprisoned, and while he’s teased Poppy about sharing her (he’s also been turned on by the fantasy of it), he has never actually stated that he actually wants to do it. Poppy is only 19-20 now? She’s so impossibly young and inexperienced—Cas and Kieran are worlds older and have had threesomes before. No real/effective care was taken to how she’d feel about it. Reaffirming love is important but a hell of a lot more goes into good threesome prep. Kieran is the non married member of the posse; his position is inherently more precarious. I didn’t feel like any of them got the build up or aftercare that they deserved or needed. I also don’t like how vague the joining was—mostly because it makes that emotional fog even worse. Did poppy and Kieran have sex? Was he just the guy grinding at her back? Either option has different emotional journeys for the characters (and now we don’t get that because we don’t actually know what happened). We also don’t know if they’ll continue hooking up or if this was a one and done thing. That lack of clarity also sets my teeth on edge. There’s another dynamic that I’ve always disliked (the fetishzation of the wolven as most of the POC characters who are also pansexual and Poly. Like, they can’t be all of the diversity at once—and they deserve more emotional screen time than just “these dudes are free loving animal shifters who fuck”)

Ships Pass was *not* written with the P/K/C dynamic in mind. It’s also about to reach the conclusion so I don’t see a point to adding it now. There’s only 5-6ish chapters left. Now, I have been preparing a warning because I have several other fic drafts planned, and for some of them the dynamics are different. I have one where Kieran and Poppy meet first and have a relationship (funnily enough the draft where he’s her guard instead of Cas has the strongest bro dynamics that result in a fake relationship—they don’t actually want to be together). I have one where Cas/Poppy/Kieran hook up before they know who/what she is. So eventually that is something that some of my fics will have. But not this fic, and I will warn people about them since I know that P/K or P/C/K isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. It certainly isn’t always mine.
