If you have any, are there previews for next chapter of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? Helly pointed me to your fic as her reccomendation. :)
Oh gosh, this message has been sitting in my inbox for a loooong while. A thousand sorries, Nonny! I do indeed have a preview for Chapter 22: (Not Quite the) Main Event II, to make up for the wait. (Thankies, @hell-on-training-wheels, for making the rec!)
For context, this chapter follows directly after Smoke gets chowed out by Kitana about being rude to Hanzo, Liu Kang and Reptile have themselves a salty exchange, Raiden rethinks his life choices, and Kitana makes that statement about Ko-Ko (allegedly, supposedly, apparently, probably) cavorting with one Kytinn queen ...
*~*~*~*~*
A deathly hush descended upon the dining room, drowning out the last piercing notes of Kitana’s declaration.
From the guests at the table and the musicians on their platform, to the student monks in the kitchen and the Lin Kuei warriors stationed in and around the Sky Temple, everybody was absolutely still. Their faces bore eyes as wide as marble plates, and mouths that ranged from slightly agape to Munchian levels of agog as their jaws looked ready to fall to the floor. Faint wisps of steam from the food, which was beginning to cool down, brushed against the guests’ cheeks like the hands of needy infants, but they were ignored.
For a moment, not a single statuary in Earthrealm could compare to this motley tableau.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by Johnny Cage, who recovered first from his stupor and sounded incredulous beyond belief as he cried out: “Wha-ha-ha-haaat?! You, Emperor … and D’Vorah … as in bug-lady D’Vorah … were a thing? Like, an actual item?”
All eyes followed the actor’s gaze: sitting uncomfortably straight in his chair, Kotal Kahn was reminiscent of a petrified goldfish. His olive skin was now a brilliant red colour, his mouth gaped open, and his eyes bulged out of their sockets, to the point that they looked ready to roll out of his skull.
If the Earthrealmers who had worshipped him as their god many years ago could see him now, they would have scarcely believed that he was Buluc Chabtan, almighty and everlasting.
No. They would have thought him a mere mortal, meek and helpless.
*~*~*~*~*
That’s all I got for you, Nonny. Of course, it’s all subject to change, but I can definitely tell you that Ko-Ko’s woes are far from over. Meanwhile, Erron who may or may not be drunk is no help whatsoever, Sonya is this close to destroying Johnny, and Smoke is not done with Hanzo just yet ...
LOL we’re all finding ways to humiliate Hanzo and his crush/ s/o at this point
Hello, my name is overdrivels and my hobbies include drinking tea, long walks, and dragging Hanzo Shimada's good name through the dirt.
Guilty
[about afterdrop]i get the impression that hanzo is an oil fire and genji is trying to put it out with water
Yes, this, exactly this! You can’t blame him, though, Genji is at a disadvantage because he’s trying to figure Hanzo out from literally the other side of the world. He also might be a little overconfident because he managed to talk Hanzo down before, but Hanzo’s had three difficult conversations in less than 24 hours and #4 just nosedived.
Hanzo,,,,,
Hanzo: Marked by the dragon!
What I Heard: Fucked by the dragon!
Me: *squints at Hanzo*
For the 3 sentence AU prompt... Futuristic Subscorp or Erronjin. (Take your pick lol).
Tepid fingertips traced the trail of wires (No, Hanzo reminded himself, not wires, they’re veins) that ran beneath the skin on the other being’s arm: the skin itself was smooth, moulded perfectly around a durable frame and muscle-like widgets, although it was unnaturally cool to the touch.
Bringing his hand to the side of the other’s cranial support (No, neck), Hanzo’s breath hitched in his throat as he waited for a reaction to his gesture; not even a few seconds later, however, impatience won over, and he could not help but ask, “Do you feel anything, Kuai?”
The synthetic being - who typically answered to the name ‘Unit LK-520′ - blinked his lifelike blue optics in a way that sparked a surge of hope in Hanzo … a hope that was fast extinguished when the being replied in a flat, toneless voice: “I can feel nothing at all, Master … my programming will not allow it, no matter how hard you may wish it were any different.”
@evieisstruck Hope this AU sufficed. ^-^ I may or may not have made myself unnecessarily sad writing this.
