A prompt: Virgil’s phone dies and Roman’s asleep on the couch so Virgil tries to put his phone in his hand, and Roman wakes up. I was thinking fluffy. -Annon

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL IDEA THANK YOU!

Movie night had been a bit too successful. Virgil always joked around about Roman falling asleep during anything that wasn’t a Disney movie, but he didn’t expect it to actually happen. Unfortunately, Roman had been exhausted all week and Virgil didn’t have the heart to wake him just yet as he softly snored away on the couch... laying on top of him.Scrolling through his phone, he couldn’t help but huff as it dimmed and a message popped up, warning him he had 5% battery left. So much for browsing tumblr all night. He let his hand fall as his head dropped back to the couch, huffing as he started thinking of anything else to do. A light hit his eyelids and he perked up, seeing his screen shine brightly. He held it up and it dimmed once more causing him to frown. Lowering his hand, he let his phone slowly rest on Roman’s chest as it lit up once more. Trying to get the angle just right, Virgil managed to see the phone light up as if it were charging.Roman. Roman was a battery. Oh goodness, Virgil’s night was saved! He shifted around and got comfortable, using his boyfriend to charge his phone as he continued to scroll through the internet, killing time. He was in the middle of a gif post when Roman huffed and lifted his head, blinking around confused. “Virge?”“Hey, you sleep okay?”Roman rubbed his eyes and pushed himself up. “Sorry, I think I slept through the movie. Why aren’t you in bed?”“You fell asleep on me.”Roman blinked and looked at him, finally getting off of him. “Sorry. You okay?” Roman eyed Virgil’s phone and smirked. “Of course. That thing not dead yet? Your battery is terrible.”“You make a wonderful charger.” “Wha- excuse you!?”“Don’t mind if I do!” Virgil shot up from the couch and turned to his room. “Good night, battery pack!”“Virgil!”

What If Robin and Celery met roman,virgil, Patton and his pals, and Logan? How would they all react to seeing their creators? Just a thought.. Celery: Oh boy. That would be interesting. I think I’ll do the same thing as before, I’ll just write a summary and not a thing.

I’d probably try taking control over the situation. I mean, until Logan took over completely. I could probably talk circles around Logan a little bit, explaining the multiverse theory and writing off my knowledge of them as my ‘power’. (I would NOT explain I am in any part of their creation) I’d explain things I write are things that will happen. That, YES, I know what will happen to them but since I already wrote it, it is destined to happen no matter what I say. I could probably give subtle hints. I’d probably say Robin has a complimentary power where she draws things about to happen and together, we just write stories about things that seem unreal that have happened, inserting us safely into the universe and it’s rules. I think Virgil and Logan wouldn’t like us too much knowing we were holding info. Roman would want to know about his future as a hero. Patton and his Pals are just happy go lucky about it all. I’d probably think before I said ANYTHING. (I’d probably also say my power is stronger because I actually write the story and Robin doesn’t know anything about what I have planned.)  *cough* Clyde would be skeptical of me but I know a few things that’d make him back off. ;)

Patton bakes for Logan while Two/Three distract him?

Cute! I love it! Thanks!You can send me a Practicality ask of ANY character!

Logan closed the door behind him and finally let out a relieved sigh. His uncle kept him at the bakery far later than he thought he would be because his aunt had been on an ‘important phone call’. It seemed everything was trying to prevent him from getting home. He ended up getting caught in the afternoon rush hour on the bus and the ride took twice as long as it normally would have.

Logan undid the top button on his shirt as he kicked off his shoes, heading to the kitchen for something to drink and thinking of relaxing on the couch before he would help with dinner. He stopped briefly after hearing a crash come from the kitchen and frowned with worry.

“Hello?”

Patton ran out of the kitchen and smiled brightly at Logan. “You’re home!”

“Yes, and is everything alright? I heard a noise.”

Patton nodded while another popped out, placing his hands on his images’ shoulders. “Yeah, we’re good! No worries!”

Logan looked between the two pals before taking a moment to breathe. “Okay, what’s going on?”

“Nothing!” They both shouted in panic. Logan took another step closer as the pals blocked his path.

One looked back into the kitchen while the other smiled at Logan. “We’re just cleaning up, it’s okay! Nothing to worry about.”

Logan stopped and caught a smell coming from the kitchen. “Did I spend too long at the bakery or are you baking something?”

Two and Three looked at one another as Logan waved a hand at the kitchen. They stepped back and Logan walked in, stopping at the sight before him.

Patton wasn’t covered in flour and the mess wasn’t too bad, but he had a batch of cookies cooling on the table as he gathered up his mess before peeking into the oven at another batch.

“Patton?”

Jumping, Patton slammed the oven shut and spun around, a nervous smile on his face. “Logan! You’re here!”

“Yes…” Logan looked over to the cookies cooling on the table with a blank expression. “Two and Three hadn’t managed to distract me long enough, it seems.”

“I can explain!” Patton walked up, his hands gripping onto the apron he wore. “I wanted to bake you those cookies just like we had together, but I wanted it to be a surprise! So I called your aunt and she helped me out over the phone and gave me some tips and…”

Logan reached out and picked one up, peeling it from the wax paper it sat on. “You made these yourself from scratch? Wait.” Logan frowned and looked over at Patton. “That’s who my aunt was on the phone with for so long?”

“I’m sorry! I really did try! They’re not that great-” Logan held up his hand and Patton bit his tongue. “Sorry.”

Logan shook his head and smiled. “What are you apologizing for? These look almost good enough to sell. I’m rather impressed, your improvement from the first time is… remarkable.”

Two and Three turned to each other and high fived while Patton smiled as Logan took a small bite. “Well?” Patton waited for a response.

“They’re wonderful, but why did you make them?”

“Do I need a reason to bake my boyfriend cookies?”

(prompt???) I've kind of had a sudden need for more content of Logan accidentally being the smoothest mf ever?? So maybe?? Idk how to word this

Do you mean: Out of the Fire? I’m joking.Smooth Logan hmm?

“Loooogan!” Patton fell across the couch, staring over at Logan on the love seat by himself. “I’m bored! I need something to doooo.”Logan, without looking up from the crossword he was working on, scribbled away on the paper. “I don’t know how I am expected to help.”“Pleaaaase?” Patton batted his eyes but it’s not effective if his boyfriend doesn’t bother to look. “I want to spend time with you.”“Is that not what this is?”“I want to go do something with you! Don’t you want to do something with me?”Logan sighed and removed his glasses, wiping them on the bottom of his shirt. “Patton, nothing brings me more joy, but I do not feel the need to run out the door right now just to do something.”“But why not?”“Because,” Logan placed his glasses back on his face. “Your presence is more than enough to make me feel at ease.” Patton spun around and pushed himself up from the couch, skewing his glasses as he did so. The sudden movement caused Logan to look up, baffled. “What is wrong?”“You… just want to be near me?”“Of course, is that… not enough?”Patton smiled and shook his head. “Nah. That’s fine.”“Do you still wish to do something to keep yourself occupied?”Resting his head in his hands, Patton sighed and shook his head, watching his boyfriend. “Nah… I think I’m good.”

Prompt: Logan getting like SUPER excited (like maybe Patton level) while explaining something (maybe something about space????) to Pat and he just????? Is so adorable???? And then Patton ends up not listening to anything Lo is saying cuz he's too wrapped up in how cute his boyfriend looks

Spoilers for Probable Theorem. I’m gonna write Logan talking about how abilities work, nothing more.

“So you see, while I haven’t proven it yet, this would explain how we gained all of our abilities! It doesn’t summarize a person as a whole but it can explain a great deal!” Logan was pacing back and forth in his room as Patton lay across his bed on his stomach. He kicked his feet occasionally, resting his head in his palm, propping himself up and watching Logan with a dazed smile on his face. “That being said, I can start building a hypothesis that could help determine what a secondary ability would form based on experience. Not only that, I can help with the learning curve! We could master our abilities! We could help those who have them! This is so astounding, don’t you know what this means?!”“Hmm?” Patton blinked and kept smiling, having long tuned out what Logan was actually saying.“We can do so much good, Patton! Think of all the people we can help!” Logan actually had a skip in his step as he turned around and continued his pacing. “This is so great!” He looked down at Patton and stopped, still smiling. “Are you even paying attention?”“You’re so adorable when you get excited about things.” Logan immediately ducked his head, causing Patton to shoot up. “No, no, hey!” He crawled over and reached up, carefully placing his hands on Logan’s cheeks. “Come on, look at me.” Slowly but carefully, Logan looked back at Patton, his face completely red. “There it is. The most handsome face I’ve ever seen. Gosh, do you know how pretty you are when you just... light up talking about something? You get so enthusiastic, you just lose yourself...”“You’re just saying that. It was boring so you tuned me out-”Patton leaned in and smiled, cutting Logan off. “I’m really, really not...”

Roman as Logic. Logan as Morality. Patton as Anxiety. Virgil as Creativity. Best idea I've ever had and believe it's worthy enough to share with you.

Okay, so... power swap then? Roman with telekinesis. Logan can make copies. Patton can control time. Virgil has electricity powers.I’m just gonna summarize this because I will get confused.

Roman loves his powers. He practices them daily, trying to lift bigger and heavier things. He learns to ‘exercise his brain’ and resorts to creative exercises and mind puzzles like the crossword or sudoku.Logan finds his useful. He doesn’t care much for the empath abilities and tunes them out, becoming almost numb to the world sometimes unless it’s too much. (He gets better after meeting the others) He uses the copies (he would not like calling them pals) to get more done. He has multiple jobs and is always learning or trying new things. He witnessed Virgil struggling with his powers which is how he learned about the others.Patton uses his to go everywhere. He’s early for everything, he has time to get anything done, he’s always on time and people don’t know how he manages to always be well rested and have time to visit all these places and still work and volunteer???Virgil hates his powers. He doesn’t want them. He learns to control them and has an outlet to burn off excess power every week. He’s afraid he’s gonna implode if he doesn’t use them (not that anything terribly bad has happened) but in moments of excessive alarm, he can’t control it very well.

Prompt: Patton, Virgil, Roman, and Logan all going to Disneyland?

Changing to Disney WORLD since I literally just came back. Specifically, Magic Kingdom. Also, I think I could just... write a whole bunch of stuff about these guys at Disney World with Powers. Virgil would DEFINITELY use it on the Safari to get better pictures in Animal Kingdom ;) etc etc...

"We HAVE to start with Adventure Land and work our way around! It makes the most sense!" Roman waved his arms dramatically over his head and stomped his foot. "Start on the left and work your way around!"

"Aww, but I want to go to Fantasy Land!" Patton frowned and bounced up and down. "And I want to go on the carousel!"

"Well, I am interested in Tomorrow Land," Logan turned to Virgil who was staring down at his phone. "Virgil? Was there anything you wanted to do?"

"Go home? I don't like crowds."

"Aww, come on, Virgil! It's Disney!" Patton cheered him on as Virgil sighed and lowered his phone. "Is there nothing you want to do?"

"Well," Virgil shifted uncomfortably as they all turned to him. "I wanted to do Haunted Mansion before the wait got to be too long."

"Ohh, that sounds like fun!" Patton turned to the others. "I change my mind, let's do that! Oh, then can we go on Splash Mountain and get our photos taken?"

Roman groaned and shivered a bit, rubbing his arms. "I don't like getting wet."

"That's okay, Roman! I can sneak away and make Two and you can go do another ride together!"

"Would making a copy in such a public place be a wise idea?" Logan questioned. Patton turned and frowned at the idea. "I mean, there certainly are a lot of eyes and cameras, we must be safe to..." Logan shut his eyes and looked away. "I just don't see it as a wise decision is all."

"Awww, but I want to do everything!"

Roman placed his hand comfortingly on Patton's back. "That's, alright, Pat. We're here all day and we can come back tomorrow! No need to cram everything into one day."

Patton kicked his foot and huffed, nodding in agreement. "Fine, no making copies to ride everything at once."

Making puzzles on one of the family nights would be a great place for pranks

This one is really short because I didn’t want to get too into it. It would have been way too long. Thanks for the prompt

"That's not how the puzzle is supposed to go, Logan!"

"I have completed the task under the given circumstances. How could I have done it wrong?"

Roman huffed and slammed his hands on the table. "You have to do it the way it was intended!"

"I don't see why I should. I have solved your riddle."

"NO! You're supposed to go to the next place to find the next clue until you find the last one!" Roman held up the slip of paper labeled '#1' on the back. "You can't just skip to the end!"

"I found a later puzzle and solved it without needing the others, what is the point of all of this?"

"It's supposed to be fun."

"Oh. Well, I'm having a terrible time."

A shout was heard from across the apartment and broke their argument. They turned and Virgil walked in, covered in water. "Okay, you want a prank war? You're getting one."

"Roman," Logan turned to the redhead. "Was that water intended for me?"

"Oh, uh, well..."

"Temporary alliance?" Logan stretched out a hand and Virgil didn't hesitate to shake it.

"That's not fair!" Roman backed up as Virgil started to smirk slowly, unsettling him. "I call head start!" Roman jumped up and ran out of the room while Logan started to chuckle.

"Dry off and I'll outline our next plan of action."
