Hi Arrow! A little request if you are inspired:

The first time they properly use the fireplace in their apartment.

💖💖💖💖

Thank you Calli! It was cool(ish) and rainy here today (though it will be hot again by morning), so I'm vibing with this!

"Fuckin' gross out there man," Mickey complains as soon as he walks through the door. He kicks it shut behind him, hands full, and beelines for the kitchen. The cardboard box he's holding lands heavy on the counter, his keys sliding off the top.

Ian catches them before they hit the floor, and sets them properly in the bowl they keep for that purpose.

"Thought it was supposed to be cooler today," he comments, glancing out the window behind the sink. It certainly looks cooler: the shimmery heat of the past few days has given over to grey skies and quickly-moving clouds.

"Tell that to the damn humidity," Mickey counters. "Like walking through soup out there, and it ain't gettin' better."

He's right about that--the light drizzle that begins to tap at the glass proves it for him.

"Even worse at the donut shop if you can believe it," Mickey continues. "It's been under 80 fucking degrees out for one day, one day, and they turned on the goddamned fireplace in the cafe!"

The rain starts to hit harder, tap to rap to a steady, hard drumming.

"Sounds ridiculous," Ian says. He watches the rain on the window, and listens to the sudden, distant boom of late-summer thunder. "What were they thinking?"

"I know!" Mickey pops the box of donuts open, grabs a chocolate long john. Waves it around in one hand as he speaks.

"And they must have cranked the air in there or somethin', because it was still better than outside!"

Ian cocks his head.

"Thought you said it was worse?"

"I mean." Mickey pauses to take a bite and chew. His cheeks are faintly flushed--from annoyance? from the heat?--as he swallows.

"Wasn't actually hot in there," he admits, "but who puts on a fire when it ain't even freezing?"

Ian doesn't answer; there's no need to. But the question hangs between them like it was something more than rhetorical.

"I mean, it was kinda nice and all, I guess," Mickey adds. "Cozy and shit. Probably good for business, too--sort of made me want a hot chocolate or somethin'."

He takes another bite of his donut, and nudges the box over to Ian. Ian picks out one of his own, a cream-filled monstrosity that might well put him into hibernation.

"But puttin' on a fire when you've got AC runnin' is crazy, right?" Mickey asks again, voice tipping high at the end.

It is crazy, Ian thinks, eating his giant donut and listening to the rain. Neither of them ever would have thought to do it. Wasting energy, wasting money, just to capture a vibe? Just to make the world around them match the way it made them feel?

Absolute insanity.

"Wanna do it?" Ian asks.

"Fuck yes," Mickey answers, already heading for the living room. "And make us some cocoa, we're doin' this shit right."

Updates will be on Oct 24th and 31st.

‘It starts, of course, with Anakin putting his foot down. Metaphorically speaking that is, because he’s dead, and a ghost, and ghosts don’t really have feet.’

In which Ben Solo helps to raise his grandfather, Palpatine gets his, and a force ghost drags up a feral desert gremlin named Rey. Only, not in that order. Sort of. It depends on your point of view.

[the force @ the sith: 'maybe I got mine, but you'll. all. get. yours.']

-My R

[despite the inspiration of the song, the fic will have very little themes of suicide. If there ever is in future chapters, i'll be sure to add a warning.

Also!! I'm not at all very good at writing so any and all feedback is appreciated!]

Summary: The giant hill above the temple becomes one of Steven's favourite places to sit and think. Turns out other's feel the same.

---

It was a dark and cloudy day. Steven had woken up at about 12am, which was very unusual for him. Even if he did quite running homeschool, there was really no excuse and Steven knew it

The wind was blowing through his dark and curly hair as he sat atop the giant hill right above the temple, his legs swinging right over the edge. He wasn't worried of course, if he ever fell he could just float.. right?

Looking out towards the ocean as the waves crashed against the sand, Steven couldn't help his mind wonder a little, it was almost relaxing.

Day turned into night. Steven couldn't remember how long he'd been sitting up there. Suddenly, Steven could hear the distant voice of pearl calling him for dinner, Pulling him out of his own head. The boy quickly got up and headed down. Everything was okay.

---

Steven was once again sitting atop the very same hill he had the other day. The soft yet harsh sound of wind blowing through his ears. Providing him with a strange calmness he hadn't had in a while.

He'd been coming here a lot lately and he'd been lying if he said he didn't know why. His mind had become such a hectic place-- He tried to convince himself he was only up there to relax. To take some time to himself.

But if he was okay, he wouldn't need it

He took a deep breath, the cold air providing him with little peace, letting him know that it was okay, and he was okay.

Because he had to be, for everyone.

---

Once again, he was atop the hill. That day had extraordinary sunny. Sure, it had been a worst day then others but hey! the plants he'd been growing had been coming along nicely!! He smiled fondy at the thought.

Steven turned his head to up the the sky, watching it turn from day to night. Counting each and every star, trying to distract himself from his own head.

Today may have been bad but there was no reason to having bad thoughts or anything of the sort!

He just needed to relax.

---

Needless to say, it did become a habit.

Every single day, Steven would be sit atop the hill in the very same spot overlooking the very same beach. The gems probably wondered exactly why he even started sitting up here at all, but he'd rather keep that to himself.

It was comforting in a way, but he knew that he couldn't keep coming up here forever.

---

Stven stumbled atop the hill the next morning, and noticed.. someone else sitting right there in his usual place.

Pearl.

Steven hesitantly walked next to her and sat down quietly.

"Uh, hey pearl," He began, giving her a slight smile. He was confused to say the least, why would Pearl be up here? Steven hesitated before speaking again, a slight bit more loudly this time, "Pearl?"

She turned her head to the other, an expression hard to read, "Oh- hello Steven,"

"Uhm.. I really don't mean to be rude but uh.. what are you doing here?? I mean-" He sighed. He could tell something was wrong so he cut to the chase, ".. what's wrong?"

Pearl sighed, "It's silly, I really should be over it by now," She gave a light, half-hearted chuckle before telling me her woes,

"I really thought that she might be the one, but then she told me she was done," She muttered, referring volleyball.

For God's sakes please, is she serious? He just can't believe that for some stupid reason he got here before him-- is she really upset that she can't have what she wanted? She's lucky that's she wasn't cracked like--

"..Volleyball- as silly as that nickname is.. it suited her so well.."

Steven snapped out of his own thoughts after he realised she was still speaking. Oh gosh he felt really bad, he should've been listening! He's constantly wanting to help people- here's his chance to be useful again and he's fucking it up! Stop fucking it up!

"Imiss her everyday, but she's better off back at Homeworld.." Pearl looked over at Steven, a sad smile on her face

Steven had to say something but his mind came up blank- he had to be useful- he needed to say something anything!!

"Well.. Not everything is meant to work out. You two were good for eachother you just.. weren't the perfect fit," He said.

"I think I'm feeling better, thank you for listening," Pearl sighed before standing up and walking away, leaving Steven alone on the hill.

WE'RE SO BACK! ITS MECHANIC DAY!

I've been quiet about this over here since who finds my fics from my silly tumblr but who knows so heres the deal.

I REWROTE/UPDATED THE WHOLE FIC

So if you were keeping up with updates, prior to July 1st 2025, its time to go back and reread. some things have changed, not majorly (ok the biggest thing is what used to be chapters 3 and 4 are now one chapter: chapter 3. making Chapter four the newest never seen before content) unfortunately emails wont go out for this update but ill be so loud and annoying when chapter five goes out so no one gets left behind

I made this new moodboard for a nice grabbing tumblr post (and also because i didn't like the old one (that no one here saw i dont think) @atelierdemoras did some AMAZING ART before the rewrite so maybe give that some love

I want to thank @makemeimmortalwithahug @ahyperactivehero @genevievefangirl @fairandfatalasfair and everyone else on the DBDA Haunt sever for sticking it out during this rewrite i wish i could just tag everyone who reads/comments on mechanic au so you could all get the message but i guess i just have to hope.

COMMENTS ON THE FIC ARE GOING TO BE MESSED UP FOR THE FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS, I KNOW! Please if youve already commented consider commenting again for the new things.
