The Doommates

slaed:

Slade is not particularly happy to see the overnight bruise progress on Danila’s face. He is not particularly happy to see Danila’s face or the rest of him to begin with. However, he will contain himself while the landlady is around. Who does this asshole think he is? Look at him playing martyr to make himself look better! The disgust on Slade’s face is not-at-all subtle. Well, his patience did not last long. Danila is definitely, completely at fault, but the way he is lying about is just makes Slade’s blood boil. There is just something about his new roommate; he is ridiculously easy to hate. Slade will also conveniently ignore the fact that he has been in foul spirits as of late and thus especially irritable. Before Mrs Higgins turns to leave, her gaze, strange and pensive, travels down and shifts from Slade’s right to his left. Slade fights back an instinctive urge to fold his hands in front of his crotch until he realizes she is checking his knuckles for scrapes or bruises. This makes him feel a little sick (but less uncomfortable than the thought of an old lady checking The Legend out), though yesterday’s beer might be the main culprit. As if I would risk any damage to my hands just to deck this miserable piece of shit! That and he finds physical violence abhorrent — hell, he still feels bad about knocking Gerard out and the fucker deserved every single splinter in his bald head — but this is of secondary concern. Slade mutters a goodbye and heads for the kitchen. He will graciously allow Danila to close the door behind Mrs Higgins and start getting things back in order, or do whatever he decides as long as he stays out of sight. The fridge greets him with an army of beer bottles and nothing else. Slade does not know what happens to the peas his roommate was misusing last night, nor does he care to find out or check the freezer — he cannot imagine wanting anything in there. The prospect of grocery shopping makes him groan out loud, but he has been putting it off for way too long as it is. Slade goes back to his room to put a pair of jeans on and grab his wallet and.. Car keys! Shit! Last he saw them was on a shelf by the corridor mirror. Last he saw the shelf, it had been torn off the wall and lost somewhere among the multiple pairs of boots on the floor. He storms out of his room to begin search and rescue, caring little for whether his efforts got in Danila’s way or not.

Danila followed Mrs. Higgins’ gaze and only then realized how the whole situation might seem to her. If she had seen them interact even for five minutes, the two of them taking it up a notch was a fair concern. He stayed still and silent as she seemed to not-so-subtly check that he wasn’t lying. What a wonderful way to start the day, feeling like being stuck in an X-ray machine. What was it with old ladies and their all-seeing eyes?

Mrs. Higgins seemed to finally be satisfied. Danila hurried to close the door behind her, mumbling a polite goodbye as he did so. Onto the clean-up, then.

The hall looked like a small bomb filled with wood had gone off. It would take the better part of the day to make it look presentable again, especially since Slade clearly wasn't planning on helping. He would have loved to drag Slade back and force him to help, but he didn't have the time or energy for that. Mrs. Higgins expected results for the next day, after all.

Danila did what looked like a silly little dance as he tried to find the least painful way to pick up the remnants of the chair from the floor. The differences were negligible, so he settled for the "do it despite the pain, or risk ending up homeless" method.

Lunchbox

@casqet

He’s been out of witsec for almost a month now. Life is just now starting to make itself look a little like it did before he and Slade almost got killed in the middle of the woods. In fact, it might even be just a little bit better than it was before because he and Slade were still talking and he was now spending way less time being sad about Tyler. He was getting out more, going out with friends and going to counseling was absolutely helping with more than just the trauma from the incident in the woods. 

Ezra had gone to lunch with his mom after spending an hour on the therapist’s couch. Tammy was still oblivious to the fact that he had found Slade on Craigslist to play “Boyfriend” for an afternoon, but after the last several months to say they were in some sort of close intimate relationship was pretty accurate . When he looked at the menu he had noticed a pretty wide variety of vegetarian options, of course this made him think of Slade. Always one for sweet gestures, he picked something up and headed to where he knew Slade was working now after saying goodbye to his mom.

“Nice tatts,” the shapeshifter commented. “I would’ve gotten some by now if I could, but y’know...”

Esprit looked down at her left hand to show what she meant; she had markings that looked a hell lot like tattoos, with one exception; hers moved involuntarily.

“I got these instead.”

2 Assholes 1 Tour Bus

@slaed

Kyle had quit the band in a storm of drunk rage, he had punched a hole in his own drywall and yelled at everyone to get out of his apartment. Tyler had left and called the next day to see if Kyle had really meant it. He had, unfortunately meant every word, including all the names that he had called Tyler. . Now they had no guitarist and a tour coming up in less than six weeks. He couldn’t even get a reason out of Kyle that went into any more detail than “I fucking hate all of you fucking scumbags”. Tyler decided it was best to just leave it be after all everyone was replaceable. Except him.

Getting a new guitarist was going to be a bitch and a half. Nearly everyone they knew was going to be on tour with their own bands and their only choice was to bring on somebody else. 

A few days later, they had rented out a rehearsal space for the day to hold the auditions. Everyone that had come through so far had absolutely fucking sucked, and Tyler was well and truly bored. He scrolled through his phone and liked a few of Ezra Young’s posts on Instagram, thinking “I’d wreck that over and over”. Era Alive was on this tour too, so he just might get to if he wasn’t too busy with his other debaucherous activities. 

Tyler looked up from his phone and at the list of names. “Slade Graves?” He called out. What a douche bag. That had to be a stage name. Stage names stopped being cool a long time ago.

💞💘🌸 VALENTINE’S DAY PROMPTS

{ FIRST KISS 💋 } — Sender gives receiver their first kiss (of the relationship, of a special occasion etc.)

Slade had sat him down in front of the TV and insisted they'd watch an Elvis documentary now that Danila had his green card. He had proclaimed it to be "part of the general education", and that "any honorary American should know everything about Elvis", though Danila wasn't sure if Slade actually thought the guy was that big of a deal.

Be that as it may, Danila humored him. So, with Slade curled next to him, he proceeded to wonder how Elvis had managed to keep his pompadour so flawless.

“You may now kiss as a sign of your union.”

Danila had a hard time containing his laughter as Slade dramatically dipped him backward before kissing him. With his whole field of view now filled with black hair, he lost his balance—and took Slade with him like a sinking ship.

It took a couple of tries for them to get back on their feet. With the same gracelessness, they stumbled down the aisle toward the chapel exit as the Elvis minister sang "Can't Help Falling in Love" so passionately that his wig shook.

They barely made it outside before Danila burst out laughing and had to sit down on the curb.

"You Americans are crazy! Who even is Elvis and why you can prene... pretend marriage with him?"

"You don't marry Elvis."

"You know what I mean... meant. Who is he?"

"Was. He was the King of Rock 'n' Roll."

"And why people want him in weddings?"

"I don't know."

"But you're American," Danila pointed out, the clear inconsistency making him frown.

"I don't know!"

"Whatever. Do you have... What it is? Bottle? With alcohol. Metal one."

"The hip flask? I thought you had it! I swear, if you lost it already..."

Slade, who was now resting his head on Danila's lap, looked up when the documentary got into Elvis' performances at the International Hotel.

"Hey, happy Valentine's Day."

"It's today?"

"Mhm."

"Happy Valentine's Day."

Questions for Muns of Canon Muses

1. What is the biggest headcanon deviation from the canon material that you have incorporated into the way you write your muse? Why did you come up with it?

I try not to completely deviate from the canon material, at least on purpose. But I'd say his relationship with Viktor. In the second film, Danila openly disagrees with Viktor and his opinions compared to very much going along in the first film. Based on that, you could argue that his attitude towards Viktor was getting to a healthier place.

Well, I said fuck it, dropped that development, and emphasized the unhealthiness of their relationship instead. I needed it to give Danila a reason to 1) travel back to the US and 2) stay there indefinitely.

3. What is something that was never addressed at all in the canon material that you have independently developed for your muse?

Danila's whole post-Brother 2 situation probably counts. I needed him to travel back to the US since roleplaying would've been tricky otherwise. I wanted to base the premise on themes already present in the canon and expand on them so it wouldn't be too jarring. So, I took things like Danila's flexible morals around violence and ran with it.

But there are also some tiny headcanons I have actually fully come up with by myself, like the age gap between Danila and Viktor, their mother's name, etc. Because I love irrelevant little details like that lol

14. What is your ideal AU for your muse?

Answered here.
