idk if this has a fandom or not, so in case you have never heard of the musical Warriors (by Lin Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis) give it a listen! It's totally worth it :D
hi !! i wanted to just say a huge, huge thank you to everyone who engaged with warriors week. a special shoutout to people who created content for it, but also just to anyone who interacted with people’s posts, you made the vent so worth it too. it’s so nice to see such a genuinely kind and passionate fan community, thank you again for letting me do this silly event <3
This is pretty mucho inspired in @gay-barbarian 's fanfic for "Warriors week day 2", which made me cry by the way. So yeah, and I could say that this is my one and only edit for the @warriorsweek day 6: AU/Quiet night
Ok I lied. Here's a snippet for day 5 of @warriorsweek : Date Night. (I'm not posting it on AO3 yet though because it needs editing and there is more to be written, as well as other scenes that I need to connect together so it makes sense. Also, this is not proofread.)
Swan had chosen a cosy restaurant for her date with Mercy; something unusual to mark the occasion, without being too fancy or pricey either.
Everything had been going smoothly: the food was better than average, and served on fancy plates. The couple was enjoyed its night away from the chaos of the gang.
Swan was floating on a cloud, until…
“Is that Cowgirl’s voice?” she asked, incredulous.
As it turned out, it was. Her and Cochise were arguing about… tomatoes? a few tables away, wearing frankly out of place clothes.
“I can’t fucking believe it,” Swan grumbled while Mercy gave them a friendly yet confused wave. Swan threw a regretful look at her plate, before getting up and walking to the spies. She slammed her hands on the table — not too loud as to not disturb the other customers or alarm the staff, but loud enough to make Cowgirl startle and drop her fork with colourful curses.
“Hello miss, any reason you are rudely interrupting our dinner?” Cochise asked with a frankly offending fake posh accent.
“Drop the act, Cochise. Your disguises are frankly the worst I've ever seen.”
“Damnit, we've been made. Cowgirl, plan B!” Cochise whisper shouted at her partner in mischief. Cowgirl looked at her with the confusion of a little kid lost at a funfair.
Swan sighed and punched the bridge of her nose — Cochise could have sworn she was acting like a mini-Cleon at this exact moment.
“Cleon put you up to this, didn't she?”
“Play dumb!” Cochise whispered to Cowgirl, in the least discreet way Swan had ever seen. Cowgirl turned her head to the couple and smiled innocently.
“Who's Cleon?”
Cochise groaned and slammed a hand to her forehead. Cleon was going to kill them, if Swan did not beat her to it.
I wanted to do a crack one shot where Cleon sends Cochise and Cowgirl spy on Swercy's date night but I haven't had the time nor the motivation to finish it for today, so have a rough sketch of footballer (or soccer player for my dear Americans) Ajax. The AU was very loosely inspired by my hyperfixation in Yellowjackets, maybe I'll explore this more later.
Late again for day 4 of Warriors week, sorry about that. Here's a little companion piece for my actual Swan/Mercy role swap fic "I would stay in your corner". This one is taking place during Roll Call.
Thanks again to @warriorsweek for organising this.
A few hours before sun down, Cleon had called over six of her most trusted warriors: Cochise, her oldest friend, Fox, the youngest of the crew and best scout, Rembrandt, her one and only tagger, Cowgirl, the official party animal and moral booster of the crew, Ajax, number one enforcer and hothead, and Mercy, Cleon’s second in command and also the most stubborn person she had ever encounter. In fact, before she was one of them, Mercy had bothered Cleon for days, following her around and even sleeping right outside her apartment building, to get into the Warriors after she learned Cleon was their warlord. At first, the warlord wasn’t sure what to make of that kid that always seemed to be where she shouldn’t be, but with time she grew attached to her and her determination. Still Cleon didn’t take her in until Mercy got sick from sleeping outside once the weather got colder. Cleon had told her to go home and get some rest, but Mercy refused saying even if she was dying it would still be better than “home”. Not long after, she was an official member of Coney Island’s best crew.
Their mission that night was simple, meeting up with most of New York City’s other gang to listen to what Cyrus had to propose for a supposed truce. Mercy had her doubt about that whole truce thing. How to know the other crew wouldn’t try to fuck them over? That’s why when Ajax and Rembrandt voiced their disapproval for the plan she joined them “Why the fuck we gotta go uptown?”.
Cleon explained herself, how she trusted Cyrus and how the truce could benefit them until Mercy interrupted her “What if anything goes wrong? We're just gonna be sitting targets with nothing to protect us!”
“We really should be packin'” Ajax added.
“No!” Cleon was not open to discussion about all of this but it had never stopped Mercy before.
“If we get stuck uptown it’s gonna be hell of a long way down. Not saying we should bring a bunch of gun, just something to protect us.”
Cleon glared at her second in command “And risk our chance at peace? I don’t think so. Now you better have my back cause this is happenin' whether y’all like it or not. Listen up people.We're going in like everybody else.”
Cleon looked at the six warriors in front of her as Cochise was slowly convincing Ajax and Rembrandt this was a good idea and Fox and Cowgirl looked back at the warlord while nodding their heads. Mercy was staring at Cleon, arms crossed, not happy about the decision but she decided to let it go for once in her life. Cleon and her had developed a strong bond throughout the years and she trusted her warlord knew what was good for them.
And so, close to midnight, the seven of them made their way to Van Cortlandt Park for what they thought would be a simple meeting about truce.
Warriors week as in THE warriors or any character??
Any character! I think most people have leant towards The Warriors themselves, but it’s meant as an event for the musical itself (or the film) rather than specifically the characters
