@allvalley100 here’s my response to the Black and Blue prompt!

Rating: T

“Looks like you’ve got yourself a fancy secret admirer, Larusso,” Johnny said, chuckling as he placed a giant vase of flowers onto the table.

“You know you can call me Daniel now–”

The vase held a gorgeous bouquet, one that its purchaser had obviously spared no expense to get, a near-sublime medley of blue and black roses, blue hyacinths, blue poppies, black dahlias, black calla lilies and forget-me-nots.

It should’ve looked like a mishmash but somehow became art through the florist’s masterful hands, but Daniel’s eyes were solely drawn to the silver-lined card attached.

You’re still mine, Danny boy. Mine.

@allvalley100 here’s my contribution for “Trial and Error”; this was so much fun!

Rating: G/T (maybe some canon typical violence but it’s very mild)

“You missed again,” Chozen teased, his arm still fully alert; he chuckled fondly upon hearing Daniel huff in reply.

“I’ll just try again, then.” Daniel relaxed into the initial position once more, gratitude (or perhaps something else?) sparkling in his eyes.

Chozen smirked. “This isn’t a technique you can master in a day, you know.”

“I can at least learn the gist of it,” Daniel said, fidgeting in place (some things never change).

“It’s a precise art, Daniel-san, one where a centimeter makes all the difference, one that took me months to master–”

Another hit, and Chozen’s arm went limp.

Woohoo!!!! Okay so this little set of three sentences is from A Soul for Sale or Rent, and Daniel has, upon Mr. Miyagi and Yukie’s insistence, decided to attend a Halloween party for the first time in a while:

“Ho. Ly. Shit. You’re Doug Masters from Iron Eagle, aren’t you?”

“Finally, man! You have no idea how annoying it’s been getting mistaken for Maverick all night!” Daniel said, turning toward the voice and giving a start right afterward, for much to Daniel’s surprise, the owner of that voice was Dutch, wearing an extremely flattering Crocodile Dundee costume along with a smile that didn’t have an edge of murderlust to it… and Daniel would never admit it out loud, but Dutch wasn’t looking half-bad at all.

“Danielle?!” Dutch sputtered, looking Daniel up and down; he must have been similarly surprised. He immediately grabbed Daniel and dragged him away from the punch bowl, yelling, “JOHNNY!!!!!! Larusso’s wearing an Iron Eagle costume, we have a third Iron Eagle fan in the house!”

Behold... my TWO FANTASTIC Bingo Cards!

Now I need help with figuring out what to do with these cards, so I’m hoping my followers can help me!

I’m hoping to do either fic, headcanons or a playlist for each spot on these bingo cards until I get a bingo on each, so I’m asking my followers to help me choose what I do. For requests, the format would be: card, spot name, and whether you want me to do a fic, a headcanon or a playlist for it!

My only exception is that I already know what to do for the free spaces on each card so please don’t request those.

So without further adieu, THANK YOU!

P.S. I’m hoping to request more Bingo Cards after I finish these two, so please send me requests ASAP!

Shance Saturday Six II

This set of six sentences is from an extremely overdue Shance Secret Santa fic I’m working on (I’m hoping to get it done in the next couple days).

Altean courting season was almost upon them, and Keith in particular had proven interested in it upon learning about it; Coran had told stories about his own courtship with his husband 10,150 years earlier, and it had pleasantly surprised Shiro to see both Keith and Lance listening eagerly to his tales.

“It works like mistletoe, mullet,” Shiro could hear Lance saying as he hung up a sprig of flowers that looked like silver poinsettias and bright pink holly, “You get Allura to walk under it, and then you kiss her. That’s how Coran told us the Alteans used to start courting people. He talked about how he courted his husband a lot, and he really kept nodding pointedly at you, now that I think about it…”

“But is Allura going to like it?” Keith said, his hands fidgeting with his jacket and his posture imbued with the stiffness only nervousness could cause.

Lance smiled fondly at him and replied, “Allura’s going to love it.”

Upon seeing Shiro, Lance’s eyes brightened, and he called out, “And the best news is, mullet, that you get to see a demonstration of how it works right now!” With that, Lance pulled Shiro into a kiss underneath the aimourtia flower.

This is my pinch-hit for @arrynzek for the @shancesecretsanta!

Cloudy Day and Sundays (Can’t Quite Get Me Down)

Summary: A beach date gone wrong turns into a beach date done right as Keith and Lance are forced to alter their plans when faced with a cloudy day. Keith cannot quite understand Lance's obsession with sharks, but loves his boyfriend anyway. Written for the VLD Summer Exchange and as a gift for @paladinspride on Tumblr!

Author’s Note: I was extremely inspired to write this story by my giftee’s fantastic art, in particular this piece here!

“Lance, you can stop pouting now.”

The aforementioned Lance was currently shivering, sitting with his knees to his chest, leaning on the surfboard he had brought, glaring at the cloudy sky and near-waveless ocean, and of course, pouting.

Granted, neither Keith nor Lance quite anticipated a foggy day in the middle of July, which Lance promptly pointed out as he whined, “It's a Sunday in the middle of July, and we were supposed to have a fantastic date at the beach because the Saturday crowds are gone, why the fuck is it cold?!”

“Because the weather hates you specifically, Lance,” Keith deadpanned.  He noted Lance’s offended gasp at the very notion of anything hating him and smirked to himself; his boyfriend really was so easy to rile up.
