Hey so I was thinking about hindsight and about little habits that megs and the others could pick up from their parents like rolling something in their hand when thinking or chewing on something

Omggg im so soft for that 🥺 i can tell you rn that Soundwave is a hardcore finger tapper. He's always got his digits drumming on something. Picks that up from Wavelength: since his carrier relies on noise to navigate, he's always clicking or tapping or doing something to make idle sounds that can be tracked

As for Megatron, I think a quirk he develops is subconscious muttering to himself. Terminus is always talking to himself under his breath while he works, narrating what he does as he does it. Helps him focus. And Megs is just the same 🤭 if he's concentrating really hard on something, he'll be quietly mumbling to himself, laying out steps and talking through problems in real time.

Hindsight - Chapter 2

[First] [Previous] [Next]

Hindsight

Chapter 2

Marinette tried not to itch the gauze that covered her ears, everything was muffled, although her phone had practically blown up with texts, mostly from her friends, some from her teachers and a few from some people she’d never met before. Adrien sat not too far away from her, his leg bouncing.

“Can you please stop that?” Asked Marinette, her voice raised so she could hear herself speak.

“Oh, sorry.” Said Adrien, getting to his feet.

“You don’t have to hang around, Adrien,” Said Marinette, putting her phone down, “my parents are coming to pick me up, they haven’t yet because the Bakery’s been flooded with the press.”

Adrien looked down, before glancing towards the door. He could see Gorilla’s shadow over the window, his bodyguard had taken to preventing any unwanted persons into the room. Which included the multiple journalists that were crowded outside the hospital.

“Are you sure you want me to go, Marinette?” Asked Adrien, hesitantly.

Marinette looked out the window, there was a practical sea of people outside.

“Adrien, I’ll be fine.” Promised Marinette, smiling at the model.

Adrien looked like he didn’t believe her, but got up and headed for the door anyway, “If you need anything, just call me.”

Marinette hummed and nodded, looking down at her phone. Gorilla guiding him towards the car as soon as they were out of the building. Marinette dropped her phone on the bed and popped her mouth, before following it up with a series of noises as she shuffled around.

“Why can’t I transform again?” Marinette asked Tikki, as the Kwami devoured a cookie.

“Because,” Tikki hiccupped, “when your ear was ripped off, your body entered a state of shock and still needs time to recover.”

Marinette frowned, “And you’re not using this as an excuse to eat as many cookies as you want without getting in trouble?”

Tikki froze and glanced at the pile of cookies behind her, “Noooo…”

Marinette hummed and looked out the window and saw her parents van pull up, “You better eat fast, because we’ll be leaving soon.”

Tikki looked at the window and then at the pile of cookies. Marinette heard a loud, sucking sound, before she pivoted and saw Tikki seemingly passed out next to where the pile of cookies sat.

“Okay, didn’t expect that.” Said Marinette, as her mother entered the room.

“Marinette!” Cried Sabine, before grabbing Marinette and pulling her into a bone crushing embrace.

“Maman, can’t breathe.” Gasped Marinette, as her mother smothered her.

“Why didn’t you say anything? What were you thinking? How long have you been doing this?” Demanded Sabine, unconsciously tightening her grip on Marinette.

“Sabine,” Said Tom, entering the room, “she needs to breathe.”

Sabine loosened her grip, allowing Marinette to suck in a large gulp of air.

“Thank you.” Whispered Marinette, as she regained her breath.

Tom spotted Tikki, sleeping on the table, “Is this the mouse we’ve gained?”

Marinette nodded, as Tom picked Tikki up and gently placed her in his pocket.

“Be careful with her, she just Kirby-ed a plate of cookies.” Warned Marinette, stretching her arms, “I’m actually amazed that Hawkmoth hasn’t tried to make an appearance.”

H

“What do you mean I can’t bail her out?” Demanded Gabriel, as the Duty Sergeant idly looked at him.

“National Intelligence don’t want anyone to speak to her until they’ve questioned her.” She said, in her bored tone.

“I have work that needs to be done.” Snarled Gabriel, trying to intimidate the woman.

“Then hire someone else.” Retorted the sergeant, “We can’t release a domestic terrorist because you don’t have anyone to schedule your meetings.”

Gabriel puffed up and demanded, “Do you know who I am?!”

The Sergeant looked at him, before grabbing her radio. Gabriel smirked, satisfied that he’d get what he wanted. Then the sergeant spoke, “Chief, can you come to the front desk? There’s a guy who doesn’t know who he is.”

The Sergeant gave Gabriel a smug smile and rested her chin on her fist.

Gabriel spun on his heel and stormed out of the Police station, not noticing a journalist that had been listening to him demanding Nathalie be released.

H

Marinette blew air through her teeth and spun around in her chair, while all her friends stared at her.

“I’m bored.” Whined Marinette, getting a wince from everyone.

“You’re not supposed to do anything that could further damage your ears.” As soon as Nino said that, Marinette perked up.

“Mullo!” Yelled Marinette, summoning the Mouse Kwami and reached out for the necklace.

Ivan quickly grabbed Marinette around the middle as the petite girl tried to reach for the miraculous. Alya’s phone beeped, alerting her to a new news headline.

“I don’t believe this!” Exclaimed Alya, drawing everyone’s attention, “The press found out about Marinette’s expulsion, and Damocles is saying Marinette attacked people!”

Everyone froze, before a rock sailed through Marinette’s bedroom window.

“They’re saying that Marinette carried out an unprovoked attack on a fellow student and was expelled on the spot.” Stated Alya, venom dripping from her words, “I’m going to kill that fat bastard!”

Nino looked over Alya’s shoulder, “It also say that there is no evidence to support or contradict those claims and the expulsion was illegal because Marinette didn’t receive a hearing.”

“Damocles is performing a smear campaign to cover up his own failings.” Snarled Alya, while Alix picked up the rock and threw it back out the window.

H

Damocles tried not to squirm as the two inspectors stared at him.

“You… refused to investigate the claims Mlle Dupain-Cheng was making, because you saw Mlle Rossi sitting at the bottom of a flight of stairs. Was Mlle Rossi harmed in any way? Did she have any visible bruises or marks?”

“W-well, no, but-” The female inspector cut him off.

“You were granted several thousand euros to refurbish the school and its contents, and yet, this is the only room that has been visibly altered.” She said, her voice cold, “It is well known that you have an…unusual hobby. There have been concerns about you embezzling funds. As well as accusations of unfair dismissal and blatant favouritism towards the wealthier students.”

“I-well-erm-you see-” Damocles was interrupted again.

“M. Damocles, you’ve shown us evidence that you are both inefficient and incompetent in your job.” Warned the male inspector, “Now, you will tell us everything, the whole truth and then we will decide your next course of action.”

H

Marinette’s leg bounced as M. Coleman read the article. The principal looked up at Marinette, before running a hand over his face.

“If I’d known the severity of your situation, I wouldn’t’ve accepted you,” Began Coleman, making Marinette wilt, “You were expelled under dubious circumstances at best, with no evidence supporting the course of action, and you’ve been bearing a burden that you shouldn’t have to.”

“S-sir, what does that mean?” Asked Marinette, quietly.

“It means, Mlle Dupain-Cheng, that Hector Damocles made a catastrophic mistake and has no way of recovering from it.” Clarified Coleman, before glancing at the clock of the wall, “Class will be starting soon, I suggest you head there now.”

Marinette silently nodded and hurried out of the room, leaving Coleman to his thoughts. Arthur glanced at his phone, before frowning and picking up the receiver and dialling a number.

“Michael,” Started Arthur, “I need a favour.”

Okay, but

Peeta and Katniss reuniting in the future of Hindsight AU after he's left 12 for good...and her realizing Peeta didn't find someone else he could love and be with.

He has friends, but she knows even from their small time together Peeta wanted more than that with someone. Had hoped someone would get him to open up like that again and make him happy in the ways she couldn't. She is thrilled to see him but saddened slightly to know he didn't ever find the love he wanted like she had with Gale (in this AU).

Before he leaves, she asks why and he tells her that he would be lying to anyone he tried to love again, after her.

*cue gross sobbing*

[wireless-art]

Just a sketch I made a while back for my Hindsight Universe AU, of which you can find the one shot featuring both characters here (X). Original concept art (X).

[wreckitrhino]

I’m so excited. I’m so close to finishing a one-shot I’ve been working on for months for South Park. I just need to edit it, have my friend read it, and finish drawing one illustration.  I think I might even start posting things to the sideblog I created for my Fantastics AUs after I post it. Show sketches of character designs for it, answer questions because it’ll be a series of oneshots for both versions of the AU, etc.  But yeah. A lot of cool things. If you’re curious about it, feel free to send me anons/asks here.
