The Prick Upstairs (Roy Kent The Bubble AU roy/jamie to roy/jamie/keeley)
Author's Note: I know this is long overdue. I teased it forever ago, but here it is. I'm still working on the 911 Bubble AU, that one is a bit more complicated than this one. Unbeta read because it is already overdue.
Ao3
Ted Lasso Masterlist
Important notes: Roy was injured pre-Richmond for this, but lives in the area because of his sister. Jamie and Roy don't know each other yet. Jamie sucks less but is still a prick. His relationship with Keeley is less one sided. Roy works for Sky Sports and hates it just as much as he did in the show but sticks it out because he doesn't have Richmond.
Inspired by Carol (Karen Gillan) and her plotline with Zaki (Raphael Acloque) in Netflix's The Bubble (2022).
Roy/Jamie, Jamie/Keeley, Roy/Jamie/Keeley (established Jamie & Keeley, if you've seen The Bubble you know why this AU exists).
Content warning: Anger, self-loathing, PTSD, drinking, alcohol as a coping mechanism, humor as a coping mechanism, cheating (but not really), misunderstanding, arguing, complicated relationships, Covid Quarantine, isolation, mental illness, anxiety, depression, injury, broken bones, angst, swearing/cursing/cussing, (I'm sure there is a lot I am missing but I'm sorry)
The constant noise from the room above is driving Roy up the wall. He knows he isn't supposed to leave his bubble. Between the fucking mess with his personal life and his professional one. This little annoyance was threatening to break his sanity. But he might genuinely lose his shit if it doesn't stop. He shouldn't be surprised to find it's one of the teams he's there to cover.
“Heads up!” He hears and he reacts on instinct. You can take the man off the pitch but can you really take the pitch out the man? He knocks it with a header, it bounces off the wall and he catches it. He growls as cheers erupt from the group of players.
“He's here, he's there, he's every fucking where,” a few chant. “Roy fucking Kent!”
In the absence of light (Umbrella Academy Season 2) Chapter 4

But I still have a heart
Diego pulls his powerless sister behind him when the four of them are met by Elliot with a very distinct firearm. Five makes quick work of disarming the man. The female Hargreeves can’t help but feel useless and helpless again. Diego and Five deal with Elliot, not even noticing how their sister hugs herself.
"You alright?" Lila moves to stand in front of her.
"Yeah, just a fun reminder I am powerless and no help to anyone," the lowest of the Hargreeves siblings admits.
"I doubt that; if you can fight half as well as either of these idiots, then you are fine,” Lila says, gesturing to Five and Diego. “Please don't leave me with this lot."
Finally fixed that story title typo.
Spoilers (a tiny bit) if you haven't read Will o' the Wisp or the start of the follow-up.
In the absence of light (Umbrella Academy Season 2) Chapter 3
Author's Note: I was going to post this a bit earlier, but I just kept adding more to it. It's probably double the amount of internal turmoil for our lovingly misguided Diego than I originally wrote.

Whiplash of a Reunion
She is in the process of running errands that Luther had told her needed to be done when the last thing she expected to happen happens. She had just dropped off a couple uniforms at the cleaners and stepped back onto the sidewalk when she heard her name called.
She knows that voice. It has her turning around so fast that Diego thinks she might get whiplash. And before his brain can even wrap itself around the fact he is seeing the person he loves most for the first time since she couldn’t even stand on her own two feet, he is nearly knocked to the ground in a hug.
Diego smiles to himself. "Missed you too, Luz."

Number One and Number Eight
Luther cuts a deal with his boss and manages to get them both moved into a small apartment in exchange for her joining the staff at the club. He somehow negotiates for her to have one of the more tame jobs at the club as a waitress. He doesn’t give her details. It probably helped that when she was out of the hospital, he had to bring her with him. She was exhausted and recovering. The dark circles under her eyes made her look like a dame in need. It also helped she was just as fit as most of the well-trained siblings had always been. The job isn't much, but she gets to keep most of her clothes on and her tips, so they both consider it a win. A full face of make-up and stylish haircut would have her fit right in with the rest of the girls. One of the ladies helps get her all set up once she has recovered enough to work.
She does some digging at the library and manages to find an article about Diego. He was arrested, and she wasn’t surprised. The number of knives he kept on him at any one time would be concerning enough for most law enforcement agencies. Knowing his knee-jerk reaction was to fight anyone and everyone, it was bound to get him locked up. She asks Luther if they can go see Diego, but Luther tells her to just focus on getting better and making money. Then maybe they could help him somehow. She thinks there is something her biggest brother isn't telling her. Even with as upsetting the idea of leaving Diego to possibly suffer alone while they lived a mostly quiet life Luther set up for them, she has little choice but to do as Number One suggests.

Separated and scared
Pain courses through the Eighth Hargreeves sibling as she hits the cold dark pavement. She groans in pain. She blinks a few times to clear her vision enough to look around. She had no idea where she was or what had happened. Last thing she knew Five was using his powers to send them through time as she clung to Diego for support. She forces herself to sit up. It’s painful and it makes her head spin causing her to retch. She shivered.
“Diego,” she calls out for him, but he isn’t there. She calls louder hoping they were just separated. When no one answers she starts to panic. “Klaus?” Nothing. “Five?” They had been right beside them. “Luther? Allison?” No response. “Viktor...” She knew that one was a long shot. A sob leaves her as she realizes she is alone. “Anyone?” She can see a street. She manages to get to her feet but barely makes it a few steps before the pain and dizziness gets to be too much. It’s unbearable. She grunts as she hits the wall, and her shaking knees give out. But someone must have heard her because she hears shouting and sees blurry faces.
“Someone call an ambulance!” She hears someone shout.
I read your will o the wisp tua insert on AO3 and loved it. Are you going to continue it??
I will try to get that out soon.
I interviewed for a third job last week. Before that I injured my shoulder, then I had bronchitis.
It has been a rough few months.
I only just healed from a mishap with an e-bike.
My leg still has a knot in the muscle that is nearly a month old.
I have the worst luck.
But I have them mostly done.
So expect them soon.

Working on one of those long overdue X-Men fics
This chapter for Muddled has been in my drafts for a long time. But here is a self-loathing snippet from it. I'm sure without the context it will seem borderline OOC, but the XMFC Magneto was always fascinating to me. And in my weird little melded timeline of a story, well...he is a moody bitch. So here is a bit of the most recent addition to the draft.
Erik stepped out to a spot he had made sure was there when they rebuilt the mansion. He leaned against the low wall that was overlooking the grounds. The grounds where a large satellite dish had once stood. It felt like a lifetime ago, timelines rewritten. Damages that could never be undone. Losses they would never really recover from. Now, a permanent scar on his soul. Like the numbers on his skin. He would carry them until he was nothing more than dust. As much as he could try and atone for his actions, there was nothing that could erase them. They were consequences he deserved. He deserved so little of what he has. Given to him despite the atrocities he had a hand in and the betrayals he dealt to those who hadn’t truly been against him. A sinner with a misguided sense of purpose and unwarranted righteousness. An arrogant fool with a damaged heart and a thirst for vengeance. It sometimes pained Erik to deal with Scott Summers. He knew more than most what the team leader had lost. Erik has had a role in the traumas the team has faced than most. But what had happened to Alex was a particular hardship he knew he could never fully atone for. Erik didn’t need to see the younger Summers’ eyes to know what the disdain in them looked like. He’d seen it clearly on the older Summers’ face plenty, usually directed at him. Scott was like his brother in many ways. They both struggled with control on some level. Alex had struggled with direction, whereas his brother seemed to struggle with control in general. Both had been willing to step in and do what needed to be done when needed. Alex had done what he thought was right until the very end. And Erik had been on the wrong side for most of it. He had appreciated how Havok and Beast had stayed loyal to Charles. Alex’s loss might not have been as painful as losing Raven. Raven and Erik had turned to each other when they felt they didn’t really have anyone else. Allied with people they knew had hurt them and their friends. Alex, and now Scott, had every right to have hated Erik. Everyone did. Erik had made choices that had hurt all of them. He gets that knee-jerk reaction to leave again. To take himself back out of the equation to not make things worse, but he couldn’t leave. It felt too much like that first mistake he couldn’t undo. It felt too much like it had that day on the beach. Only Erik knew better now. If he left now any of the goodwill, he had established would be gone. Not only with his children but also with the one person who had always been willing to look past his horrible life choices. Charles had always been the one to pull Erik back from the edge. Now Charles was doing the same for the twins. Erik’s twins. His children. He had already lost his family too many times. He wasn’t going to leave the one he had now.
Gotcha for Gaza Prompt: i told my future by reading your lips
Happy to say I have completed and posted my first fic for @911actions - as submitted by @sortofanobsession!
This used to be called "All In Good Time" but I decided to go with a lyric from the song rather than the song title itself.
Hope everyone enjoys, and there's still lots of time left to submit those prompts!
Summary:
In 2018, on their way to a call at a child beauty pageant, and feeling a little strange, Buck and Eddie are suddenly thrown into a fast-paced look at some key moments from their future. And, what they see? Well it can only lead to one logical conclusion.
Snippet:
Eddie and Buck stand open-mouthed in the rain, necks craned up at an awkward angle, watching Other Eddie’s futile attempt to lift Other Buck by the rope alone.
“There’s no point,” Buck whispers.
“Hey, no,” Eddie says.
“He’s… I’m… Dead.” Buck struggles.
“It’s not real,” Eddie says. “It’s not real. I’ll… He’ll save him.”
“CAN YOU HEAR ME?” Other Eddie shouts.
It makes Eddie want to cry.
He sounds so broken.
Eddie cares about Buck, for sure. They’re friends, maybe they’ll become really good friends, based on the way Buck has turned up for Eddie and Chris lately. But the way Other Eddie is screaming for Other Buck right now? It’s bone-chilling. Like...
“BUCK!”
Like Buck is one of the most precious things in this iteration of Eddie’s world, and the thought of losing him is simply unacceptable.

But OP did an unbelievably good job. Seriously, go follow this very talented and generous writer that did this for the love of not only 9-1-1 but humanity. Because this was for charity. So this very talented human deserves all the support.

“I’m so confused,” Eddie complains.
“Same here,” Buck nods. “But maybe we should help?”
As Buck says this, Eddie notices a figure climbing the outstretched ladder up towards the burning building. And listen, Eddie hasn’t known Buck for very long, so the fact that Eddie recognizes the silhouette and movements of the man ascending the ladder as Buck’s has no reasonable explanation. Especially considering that Buck is standing directly beside him. But he does. He just knows.
“Um, I think you already are helping,” Eddie says, pointing to the man on the ladder.
Buck follows his gesture.
“What? That’s not me.” He protests. “That’s just someone who kinda… Has the same shape? Basic man shape.”
There’s nothing basic man about the way Buck is shaped.
Eddie has no idea why he just thought that. Why would he think something like that? There’s something wrong with his brain.
“Well, let’s get closer and see, shall we?” Eddie asks, wiping rain off his forehead.

Would you ever do a 911 sickfic with buddie? Or like they come back from a bad call and buck shuts down and Eddie is there to pick up the pieces?
I have written that for other fandoms, mainly Ted Lasso. I am not opposed to doing it if you have something you want to see, let me know.
I have written a few close calls and health scares for Buck:
Breath in, Wheeze out (Ao3) - Asthma fic
Fear in the Shadows (Ao3) - Cancer scare
Never going down without a fight (Ao3) - Buck gets tased in this one.
Saving and Losing (Ao3) - this one is intense. Involves a call with a chemical spill. Buck being declared dead and waking up in the morgue.
So yes, I do write that kind of stuff
Tony the Kid (911 fic)
Author's note: not as long as my usual story but I had fun with it.
Ao3
911 Masterlist
Summary: Buck's work with the livestock animal rescue ends up with him taking care of a goat. A baby goat. A kid if you will. Eddie has opinions but unfortunately Eddie was the one that told him to participate in the poor little creature's rescue. Christopher is very much not on Eddie's side.
Mostly Eddie's side of things.
Pairing: Buck x Eddie (more than friends if you read between the lines). Christopher and his dads.
Eddie tries so hard not to laugh as he takes a video of his best friend. Buck is just standing there talking to another volunteer as a small goat repeatedly bleats and rams its tiny horns into the blond firefighter's leg. Christopher was going to love this video. They were all working at a community event. The animal rescue Buck often worked with after the ducklings incident was there as well. He and Buck had gone over to say hi, and the little petting zoo goat must have recognized Buck because the darn thing was not happy about being ignored. The kids around, at least the human ones, thought it was hilarious. “You look far too serious,” Eddie says as he puts his phone away, and they head back to rejoin the team. “Margo's truck broke down last night, which means the pick-up she was supposed to do tomorrow afternoon isn't going to happen unless someone else can drive.” “And they asked you?” Eddie guesses. “Yeah,” Buck nods. “And that would be fine...usually.” “But you have Christopher tomorrow,” Eddie says. “Already told him he didn't have to help your cousin move,” Buck says. “Take him with you,” Eddie shrugs. “Some of these turnovers can be risky,” Buck says. “I'm sure if you tell him to stay in the truck, he will,” Eddie argues. “He's old enough to see how the world works, Buck. Just put the idea to the rescue team. If not we can see what Hen and Karen have going on. Or your sister.” “Fine,” Buck takes out his phone and texts the rescue team. “That's assuming he even wants to go.” “When has he ever turned down a chance to visit the rescue? He loves those critters almost as much as you do.”
Eddie regretted his suggestions when he got home the following night. He had barely closed the door before he heard a noise that shouldn't be in his house. “Oh hey, you're back,” Buck says. “What did you do?” Eddie asks, his gaze narrowed at his friend. Eddie groans when he sees his son bottle-feeding a tiny goat that is in a tub on the floor. “Dad! Look! It's a baby goat,” Christopher eagerly says. “Why is it in my house?” Eddie asks. “It has a name, Dad,” Christopher tells him. “I’m sure it does,” Eddie’s annoyance was clear in his tone. “It’s Tony,” Christopher elaborates. “Technically, it’s Antony,” Buck states. “Of course it is,” Eddie sighs. “Couldn’t be a normal name, could it?” “They tried Anthony,” Buck says the name quietly, “But for some reason, he tends to bite when you call him that.” “That’s insane!” Eddie responds. He takes the tiny creature from his son. “Hey!” Christopher glares at his dad. “He bites,” Eddie argues. “Goats don’t even have top teeth in the front, Eddie, and it’s a baby.” “Seriously, Buck!” “For the record, you told us to go on the rescue.” “I didn't tell you to bring anything home, Buck,” Eddie hisses. “It's only for a few days, a week maybe.” “A week?!” “Don't worry I will take it home with me,” Buck says. “You live in an apartment,” Eddie states. “And he currently lives in a box,” Buck counters. “Buck!” “I'm serious, it’s not that much different than a normal pet,” Buck assures him. “You say that now,” Eddie shakes his head.
Eddie wasn’t surprised when Buck and Tony the kid shows up at his house a few days later. “What happened now?” Eddie asks as he lets them in, once the door is closed Buck sets Tony down. And Eddie laughs. “Oh look, it has a diaper now.” Eddie can’t believe how ridiculous his life has gotten. “He cries less if he can run around,” Buck says. “I need to ask you a favor.” “No,” Eddie says. “I didn’t even-” “I know you,” Eddie says, arms crossed over his chest. “You can say, ‘I told you so’ all you want. It’s a few days. I’ll even crash here. My neighbors complained and my landlord threatened to throw me out.” “He’s a trip hazard, Buck,” Eddie states. “Christopher-” “You didn’t tell me Buck and Tony were here!” Eddie sighs. “I promise, I will make it up to you, Eddie,” Buck says. Eddie looks between his best friend and his son who was now sitting in the living room with Tony the kid on his lap. Christopher looked so happy to have his little friend back. “A few days, that’s it, and you have to find away to keep him in one room. I’m not taking my son to the emergency room because he tripped on a goat.” “That’s fair, I can do that,” Buck grins. “And its 3 days, tops.”
It was not 3 days. Much to Eddie’s annoyance, Tony the kid was still around. He would be loath to admit it but having Buck around even more than usual wasn’t a bad thing. Sure, their relationships took a bit of a hit. But the goat now had a little pen in the living room when he wasn’t supervised. And after Buck had told Christopher that ‘the goat ate his homework’ was not an acceptable excuse and Buck would definitely not take Christopher with him when he took the goat for his little socialization play dates if his grades dropped. Eddie would admit the threat was shockingly effective. And the play dates were more like barn yard time with the other goats used to raise money with a local yoga studio that did goat yoga. Eddie didn’t understand the appeal but it meant the goat learned how to be a goat or ended up with his little friends at a farm, Eddie was happy to help out. He just hoped the thing would be out of his house soon.
Eddie walks into his home and hears a squeal of laughter from his living room. He smiles. “Need a hand?” Buck says as he meets Eddie in the hall and takes the pizza box from the home owner. “Jee-Yun sounds like she is having fun,” Eddie says as they head into the kitchen. “Oh yeah. I think Tony has met his match energy-wise,” Buck grins. “Well, I’m glad she’s having fun. I guess having a little baby friend, even of a different species, makes new places easier,” Eddie states as he grabs plates and hands them to Buck. He grabs a tiny plate and a breadstick from the box and with a well-rehearsed dad move cuts it into tiny toddler-sized pieces and plates them. He grabs a few other food that had been sent by Chimney and Maddie had sent for her to eat. Buck failed to suppress a grin at how at ease Eddie was. Buck had definitely thrown his best friend’s life for a loop last week by showing up with a goat. He hadn’t batted an eye when Buck told him he also had to watch Jee-Yun for the weekend while Maddie and Chim were out of town for the weekend for a party for one of Maddie’s coworkers. The Diaz house was busy for the weekend. Buck was going to have to do something really big to thank Eddie for all the help.
Buck sits back and wonders how his life has him to a moment like this. He smiles as Christopher helps feed Jee-Yun. It’s really more Christopher convincing the tot to finish her dinner since the others had finished eating at least 20 minutes ago. And it’s an adorable moment, made even more precious by the fact Eddie was absentmindedly petting the tiny goat sitting in his lap as he watched the kids. Buck thinks his heart might actually explode. He manages to snap a few pictures.
“I hate to admit it,” Eddie says. “I think I’m going to miss that little guy.” They watch Tony run around with his new family. A farmer who often partners with the rescue was able to give the growing goat a more appropriate home. “Me too,” Buck says. “Dad, look!” Christopher shouts. They both turn to see Christopher in a barn. Eddie sighed when he realized what his son had found. “Aren’t they cute?” Christopher says as one of the puppies jumps against the short barrier to play. They looked to be some kind of terrier mix. “Well, at least they don’t wear diapers,” Buck grins.
Will o’ the Wisp - Ch. 11 (Umbrella Academy Complete) Diego x Reader
Author’s note: The last chapter. I'm sorry this took so long. Rough translations in the end notes. (I'm not Spanish and haven't taken a course in it in 14 years, but to be fair neither of these characters are native speakers either. They would have learned it like anyone else.) While I was trying to finish this I did actually write most of the stories for season 2 and 3. Not sure if anyone would read those if I posted them. This one might get a POV shift and repost if I post those.

Y/N focuses back in on the Wisp as Viktor seems to have a conversation with himself. She wishes she could say something. That the Wisp could actually convey something helpful. But she can’t.
"Thank you for trying, Y/N/N," Viktor says, glancing at the Wisp. "I hope this won't hurt you." He apologizes to the Wisp before he uses his powers to take out the bunker wall. He ends up taking out the Wisp in the process.
It feels unusually painful when the wave of destruction hits the Wisp, causing Y/N to gasp violently. She would have stumbled if Diego hadn't been dragging her along. No one had ever essentially snuffed out one of her forms before but her.

Of Hunters, Gods, and Hooded Vigilantes (Moon Knight/TVA Hunter Reader)
Author's Note: I have been sitting on this one since (and a few other loki ri) since Loki ended. @selfryed suggested I post it . Hopefully it doesn't disappoint. I know not everyone likes Reader Inserts. But you all know how much I love Moon Knight crossovers. I'll write those boys into anything. Suggest away if you wish. Unbeta'd and Posted on mobile so please forgive any errors.
Sylvie, B-15, Casey, and OB pop up but no Loki or Mobius in this one. Sorry guys. Random letter and number combos for non important hunters.
Content warning: canon typical violence, some swearing, mentions of death, crying,
You track the rogue variant that had been messing with time, not quite as dangerous as He Who Remains. But somehow this guy had an artifact that he couldn't be allowed to keep. B-15 had sent a team that consisted of you and two other hunters.
It turns into more of a scuffle than expected. Hunter L-24 was calling for backup as you gave chase. You hated the fact you weren't in your actual armor. You had been trying to blend in. But you regret that now with the cut on your temple, dangerously close to your eye, and probably bruised rib. It hurt but that's the job. And you had the guy in the ropes until… until you didn't. Time was iffy with what this guy had taken and one second you were running through a side road through the highly populated area, but thankfully sparsely-filled street in what you knew of consisted of public housing. Next, you are cut off from your team in an alley. A manic laugh has you turn on your heels. You had really hoped you wouldn't have to use the pruning stick. This was supposed to be easier. Your hands move as if on their own with practiced movement of charging the weapon.
“Listen, buddy,” you said with false confidence to hide your unease. “We tried doing this the nice way, but you’ve forced my hand.”
“You still think you have the upper hand,” the man laughed, pulling a pistol. Oh that was not good. Those weren't even allowed in this country, you knew that. You hear the click of the weapon. But out of nowhere, the gun is knocked out of his hand by a metallic object. You lunge towards the weapon. And you can't reach it, but you do the next best thing. You pruned it. It disappears. Let the Void Lokis or Alioth have it. You turn towards the scuffle behind you, expecting to see your team. You are surprised to see a masked figure easily taking down the variant. You watch as the figure knocks the guy out.
“Uh…thanks,” you say as the vigilante turns to you as you power down your weapon.
You can feel eyes on you as you go over and pick up the artifact. The masked figure hasn't said a word. Just watching you. The wind kicks up as you place a pair of cuffs on the variant.
