Obviously lots of people do not enjoy family or kidfic and avoid them like the plague, but if you have followed me for a long time you know me 🤪

While I think it's much easier to characterize Wade as wanting kids now that he's more settled with his role as an active participant in raising Ellie and has dropped some of the self loathing, it wasn't before, and I kind of like movie canon gave us that characterization so people can have their fun either way.

Tumblr ficlet prompt: I've been obsessed with the concept of Logan doing sneaky little romantic things like taking Wade on a date but he doesn't know it's a date/logan doesn't want him to know it's a date, getting him little things and trying to pass it off as no big deal

Here's a little combination!!

---

"That was fun," Wade said as soon as they walked in the door. He immediately dropped his coat to the floor and slipped on his crocs, bending down to gather Mary Puppins into his arms. "Who's a good girl?" he cooed. "You are, my little precious baby!"

Logan picked up Wade's coat and hung both on the rack. He walked over to Wade who was still kissing Mary Puppins's head in repeated affection. "You had a good time? I wasn't sure you'd like it."

"Oh, I hate bowling. I haven't been since I thought I was straight," Wade said. "But watching you work so hard and shake that little tush to impress me was so adorable. And we had the whole place to ourselves!"

Wade wearing his full suit might have had something to do with that. Not that Logan had been complaining.

"Were you impressed?" Logan asked, only half teasing. He walked over to the fridge and pulled out a couple of drinks.

Wade cocked his head like he was thinking about it. "If I could remember what an impressive bowling score was, I'm sure I would have been. My eyes were on your ass for ninety percent of night. Why did you want to go to a bowling alley anyway?"

Logan tapped the drink to the back of Wade's head and dropped it in his hand. Wade immediately unscrewed the cap and lifted his mask to start drinking it.

"Holy fuck, that's so good," he gushed. "What is this?" He looked at the label.

"It's new, I think? Thought you might like it," Logan said. He scratched his neck. "You kept saying you were craving chocolate the other day."

He shrugged while Wade watched him, sipping on his drink.

"Are you having a mid-nearly-immortal-life crisis?" Wade asked.

Logan turned to him, brow furrowed. "What? No."

"Yesterday you gave me that Hello Kitty keychain you 'thought I would like'. And last week you brought in a bunch of outfits for Mary Puppins to try on out of fucking nowhere and the whole day became a photoshoot sesh, which you normally hate."

"One of the X-Men was getting rid of them," Logan said.

"You've been dropping random shit in my lap for weeks. And last week we went thrifting for four hours and you didn't complain even once."

Logan hadn't thought he'd been keeping track.

"And now bowling? What's up, peanut? Are you dying?"

Logan sipped his drink quietly for a second. "Wanted to take you out. I always liked bowling. Makes for a solid date spot."

Wade ripped off his mask and just stared at him.

"Date? That was a date?"

Wade slapped his hands over his mouth.

"Holy fuck. You've been wining and dining me? That taco truck you tracked down for me three days ago after we took care of that warehouse situation...Logan!"

Logan lifted his shoulders like it wasn't a big deal. It really wasn't.

"You sneaky little motherfucker. Is this your plot to make me fall in love with you?" Wade stood up and marched over. "Because it'll work! Food trucks after doing a bunch of murder is my weakness. But you should know..."

He stopped in front of Logan and walked his fingers up his chest. Logan snatched his hand and shifted closer, wrapping his arm around Wade's waist.

"What?" he said lowly.

"I'm wearing my rubber masturbating shoes," Wade whispered loudly. "Meet me in the bedroom after you shower. We are not fucking while you smell like a bowling alley."

Logan leaned his head forward, chuckling. His head bumped into Wade's, so all it took was a shift in angle to meet his mouth in a kiss.

WADE CALLING LOGAN LOGANBERRY

[farmhandler]

I hope people realize with the Dragon Prince/Dragon King kickstarter, that it's NOT promising a new season. You could have guessed that based on the goal amount, but they very cleverly word it as if you're supporting a new season, which I find pretty questionable. The main goal is stated on the kickstarter as that first trailer, and that's it. You are only supporting the release of those teasers and... I guess their efforts to get someone to pick up the show? Then they'll involve the backers, if that happens? It's very unclear what they mean by vague statements about "making it happen".

20 Questions with a Fanfic Author

Thank you @punch-love and @waterme-stories for tagging me! I haven't done these often but this time I thought I'd actually try 🤣

1. How many works on AO3?

79! Based on my wordcount...you can tell I've done a lot of longfic haha...

2. Total AO3 Word Count?

1,479,182 😅

3. Top 5 Fics by Kudos

They're a man eater

Distanced removed

A shove towards love

Feel Good, Broken Man

for your sake

Overall this is probably a good representation of how I will always inevitably hop into a new fandom haha. Two of these are soulmate fics, so you can tell I love a certain version of the trope where it's not an established thing within the universe.

4. What fandoms do you write for?

Whatever strikes my fancy! Right now, it's Marvel, though more specifically, Deadpool movieverse (mostly poolverine) and sometimes the X-Men get involved. my ao3 profile will tell you the rest.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Always! Sometimes it takes me a little while but I will always respond. Sometimes I only respond to the final comment if someone has left a string of them, though I've read every one. Now, if it's a rude comment or someone who has clearly taken away something that is (as punch put well) antithesis to my intentions, I'll probably just ignore them. If it's bad enough I simply delete it (I think that's only ever happened once or twice).

6. Angstiest Ending?

I write quite a bit of angst, but I don't know if I've ever written an unhappy ending...so I can't say! The closest would have to be my shendak fic Break Free, before I had written a sequel.

7. Fic with the Happiest Ending?

Since I write so many happy endings, it's hard to choose. I think my recent poolverine series Broken Men has the most hopeful happy ending, and my shendak series Break Free. I tend to lean towards established couples working through their problems (but a little more interesting than that sounds on paper I think lol).

8. Do you get hate?

You would think, but not really? Maybe because I mostly keep to myself? I used to get into more scuffles when I was younger, but I can't stand getting involved in fandom drama now.

9. Do you write smut?

oh yeah 🔥 I have written plenty of nonsmut though

10. Do you write crossovers?

I think the closest I got to writing one was way back during the cabin pressure/Sherlock era, because Benedict played both characters, there were a lot of fun crossover fics. but it's never really been my thing.

11. Ever had a fic stolen?

Once someone posted one on wattpad, and I had to get it removed. I think that's the only time!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Just a few times, and every time it's so flattering and such an honor. when I was into KNY, I had some Japanese fans translating and reading my fics, but no one did a translation for other fans.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic?

A few times! Like water mentioned in her post, I feel like you have to be on the same wavelength and that's difficult to achieve.

14. All time favorite ship?

I couldn't possibly choose!! Though shendak and rent/an do have a space close to my heart, because those was intimate fan spaces where I met lots of cool people (Who I hope are all doing well, may we share a fan space again one day!)

15. WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a lot of ideas that I have jotted down, but I tend not to start a true WIP unless I plan on finishing it. That said, I do have a few. the next part for my broken men series is still in the works, which I do plan to finish if I can execute it well, and I have this Spot/Miguel wip inspired by that one fanartist on Twitter that draws spot every day that I'm not sure I'll ever finish because it would probably have approximately three readers. But I would like to!

16. Writing strengths?

Conveying emotion and action? 🤔 especially for angst. I've been told my characters feel very "real", which isn't something I consciously set out to accomplish but I'm very happy to hear it. Their voices are so strong in my head I just...write it down as they feel it.

17. Writing Weaknesses?

Plot 😩 Also I have a more simplistic style of writing which I like, but it means there are certain ideas I have that I don't think I can ever execute.

18. Thoughts on mixed language dialogue?

Outside of singular phrases, only to be done by someone who is actually bilingual or potentially with a sensitivity reader. Best to be avoided, I think for most writers. Like @waterme-stories said, brackets or some other indicator is the way to go. Recently I started Ancillary Justice (which provided some inspiration for Murderbot), in which humans speak many languages in a far-flung future. The author very wisely never actually writes outside of English at any point.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Ed Edd and Eddy. I was a teenager 😂

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Don't ask me that! Ahhh genuinely I love them all... puppy Wade is a strong contender... but maybe my Broken Men series fic Come Hell or High Water. it's my magnum opus and I have accepted I will never reach such heights again

I'm inviting @muunberry, @shinaka, @thischachamaru, @some-stars, @li-izumi, and anyone else I've forgotten or who wants to do this!

[farmhandler]

trying to remind myself today that's it's okay I'm not a "funny" writer. Never have been, never will be. References are rare, hard-fought, and I just don't have the brain for pulling them out of thin air despite being decently plugged in. The struggle is reallll. I should be amazed I've written this many Wade fics at all, considering I never thought he was a character I could even attempt a year ago.
