i don’t think love at first sight exists but i think you feel something. not just romantically, but when you meet anyone who’s going to be important to you…anything stronger than what you were feeling before, without even knowing it. attraction, dislike, whatever. something you might forget the next day but in that moment it’s something. like a little jolt in ur chest idk.
hey friends i’m really really sorry for being MIA the past few weeks, i’ve just kinda gotten busy with school/work/life and i’m not really feeling as incredibly passionate about the bad batch lately (not for any reason my sick sick brain is just in between hyperfixations). im sorry if you sent a request that I haven’t gotten to yet, i might eventually but i also might not and that’s completely my bad. love you guys sm tho<3
(for what it’s worth this is not a terrible time for me to be peacing out bc all this kinktober stuff is happening and i’m not very good at writing smut so at least y’all have been spared from that)
a/n: i’m obsessed with knitting/crocheting bc i’m actually a very very ancient old elderly decrepit person trapped in the body of a sexy young lady. and i especially love knitting things for other ppl bc it makes me feel like a little christmas elf. so this is what i would make for each of the bad batch
***
Hunter: headband
yes this is an obvious one but i don’t care
hunter wears the same rotting headband every single day someone needs to provide him with extras so he can at least rotate them
headbands are really easy to knit so i could provide him with an endless supply of clean ones
ALSO it would be so cute to make the actual headband one of the bad batch colors (black, red, even white) and then crochet little appliqués to sew onto them
like the skull, 99, those would so cute on there like basically how the skull is on his already but more 3D
yarn is also most likely more breathable than whatever he’s currently got strapped on there so comfort wise it would be better too
Crosshair: beanie
crosshair is such a 2015 beanie dude
like i don’t mean that in any sort of way bc he’s a handsome young man BUT he’s very “i’m the misunderstood artsy loner guy who wears leather jackets and beanies and smokes cigarettes and reads classic literature”
and i love that energy for him so he deserves a beanie to compliment it
also i think crosshair is a very chronically cold person but is too proud to ever admit he’s cold so he won’t put on a jacket or use a blanket BUT he’ll wear his beanie bc he can pass it off as a fashion choice
Tech: tote bag
tech has so many god damn things
so many trinkets and gadgets and tools
HES GOT GADGETS AND GIZMOS A PLENTY HES GOT WHOZITS AND WHATZITS GALORE
but anyway he needs somewhere to put all of those things! and if that storage location is also mobile? even better!
I keep a lot of my things in tote bags (literally i keep my knitting stuff in a tote bag) bc it’s easier and then they’re ready to go if i need to transport them
i just think he would get a lot of use out of something like that, plus this is more of a time consuming project and he would have the patience to wait since it’s not a pressing need
i’m making a tote bag for myself right now and i’m knitting a design into it (eggplant emoji on one side, peach emoji on the other side) and i would def do a design on tech’s to make it more exciting and I think he would really appreciate the craftsmanship of it all
Wrecker: bucket hat
crosshair might be a beanie dude. but wrecker is 1000% a bucket hat dude
like wrecker is just such a chad in the best possible way (in the beloved himbo way) and i think his natural state is at like a tailgate (or some kind of outside day drinking event), hawaiian shirt unbuttoned, bucket hat on, sipping a bud light and playing cornhole
bucket hats are more of a crochet thing but they’re pretty easy and quick to make and they’re super cute with little appliqués sewn on like with hunters headband
he would love having a few different ones with different vibes like obvi some bad batch themed ones but other ones too
specifically the one i’m picturing in my head is like a pretty light blue with little white cloud appliqués sewn in all over so it looks like a beautiful blue sky
Echo: blanket
now this is a time consuming project. you gotta really love someone to devote this commitment to them
as much as i love all these lovely individuals, echo is the only one who deserves having these labors performed for his comfort
echo has had almost only the worst of times ever. now he’s like half robot and doesn’t even get to have a robot hand OR his own bed he sleeps in a fucking hammock
he deserves the world, the least i could do is make him a big cozy knit blanket
echo is also the only one who’s patient enough to wait for a nice blanket to be made. everyone else would get antsy too soon
i would use that big soft yarn they sell for baby blankets like i would just buy a fuck ton of it and it would be so comfy
Omega: sweater
omega is the only one i would make a sweater for
similarly to echo i think she’s the only one who deserves such a laborious task, but also she’s much much smaller than the rest so it would be way easier
not to be fully mrs weasley but i would def knit her initial into the sweater
NO I WOULD KNIT THE GREEK LETTER OMEGA INTO THE SWEATER THAT WOULD BE SO CUTE
i’d prob also make matching headbands for her and hunter but whatevs
Hii, could you please write prompts 21, 24 and 25 with Crosshair or Tech
a/n: this was too cute and i just had to do my sweet beautiful husband tech
“you remembered”
“how mad would you be if I kissed you?”
“you’re hugging me too tight”
***
You couldn't help the grin that had plastered itself on your face as you sidled up next to Tech's workbench, hands positioned behind your back as you clasped your present.
His eyes remained trained on the wires he was fiddling with as he pretended to remain indifferent to your presence. His smirk gave him away though, and you knew he was just waiting for you to declare yourself. You coughed a little, and he glanced over at you, taking in your barely-contained excitement as you bounced up and down on the balls of your feet.
"Is there something I can do for you?," Tech asked teasingly.
"I got you something," you proudly announced, smiling even wider as he turned in his seat to give you his full attention.
"You got me something?," he repeated, a brow quirking in confusion. "I was not aware there was an occasion that called for gift-giving."
"There's no occasion," you clarified for him with a giggle, still intent on drawing out the suspense of your surprise.
"Then why did you obtain a gift for me?"
"Wellllllll, you know a while ago when the hyperdrive broke, and you said that it would be easier to maintain if you had that fancy energy capacitor? The EMS-500?"
Tech's eyes widened at your explanation. He had said that the EMS-500 would allow him to maintain the hyperdrive's energy levels more efficiently, but it was just a passing comment he had grumbled out in his irritation. And it was months ago when the hyperdrive had broken.
"You remembered?," he asked, voice laced with bewilderment.
"Of course! I don't think I've ever seen you so frustrated with the ship before," you laughed again lightly before continuing.
"Anyway, I went with Hunter on the supply run earlier and one of the vendors had this and we had some extra credits sooo...," you paused as you dramatically revealed the device from behind your back.
"Ta-da!"
The shocked expression on Tech's features as he stood and took the capacitor from you was priceless. You waited for his review as he turned it over in his hands, meticulously examining every inch of it.
"Well," you prompted, "is it good? I was pretty sure it was the right one and the guy said it was brand new, but you know how those vendors will say just about anything to make a sale and-"
Your rambling was cut off as Tech's arms wrapped you, the capacitor placed on the work table as he lifted you off the ground and spun you around. You were a little surprised by the suddenness of his reaction, but the press of his warm body against yours as he thanked you served as a dazzlingly distraction from your initial .
Tech continued holding you as you giggled, wiggling against his firm grip.
“Teeeeech let me go! You’re hugging me too tight!”, you squealed, overdramatizing the force he was exerting on you.
He loosened his hold and pulled back slightly to meet your gaze, an unreadable but impossibly warm look hidden behind his goggles. Tech studied you for a few moments, examining your features before speaking.
“If you do not mind me asking, how mad would you be if I kissed you?”, he asked, his slightly nervous tone not lost on you.
Your smile widened as you glanced down, cheeks heating up as you avoided his eyes.
“I wouldn’t be mad at all. Quite the opposite, actually,” you admitted, heart jumping as you felt his lips tenderly slot against yours.
9 + 36 from the angst prompts with cross bc I’m evil 😈
a/n: i wish i was evil but unfortunately i’m as soft as the top of a baby’s head and it didn’t sit right with my soul to leave this without a lighter ending so it’s only like 80% angst im sorryy
“don’t raise your fucking voice at me”
“don’t touch me!”
***
Steam practically poured out of your ears as you stared Crosshair down. His gaze was piercing, and its steely rage was the only aspect of his body language that truly betrayed how upset he was. That was one thing you fucking hated about him. Here you were, face red, chest heaving, nostrils flared, and the only thing that looked remotely bothered about him was the look in his eye.
You weren’t even really sure what you were arguing about anymore. That was another thing you hated about him. A fight with Crosshair— a real fight with him, not some petty disagreement or bickering— never seemed to end without a battle of passive aggression so extended that the original problem was long forgotten. Eventually the two of you would reach a stalemate, and a truce would be called at the raised white flag of your apology.
This time, though, was different. Because it was always your apology that ended the fight, never his. And you had had enough of Crosshair's attitude, his glares and his snide comments towards you. It was infuriating, and you vowed you wouldn't give him the satisfaction of declaring defeat. You couldn’t stomach the idea of once again putting aside your pride just to keep his intact.
Days passed, and the longer you stood your ground, the pissier he got towards you, as though he was throwing a tantrum that you hadn’t ended the fight yet.
So the fight had raged on, neither of you willing to back down and no end in sight.
Until today, when you offered to help Hunter and Wrecker move some cargo. You laughed at something Hunter said, some goofy comment about Gonky. You let Wrecker pick you up so he could show you that he was strong enough to lift you and the cargo box. And you did all this right in front of Crosshair, without a care in the world.
To say he was livid would be an understatement.
So now here you were, seething at each other in some room he all but dragged you into. You didn’t want to give in and be the first to speak, but the silence was suffocating.
“What do you want, Crosshair?”
He narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly before replying.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”
“What does that even mean!?”, you responded, voice laced with bewilderment.
Crosshair took a few steps towards you, his tall frame beginning to tower over you, the close proximity forcing you to look up at him.
“Did you think I couldn’t see you? Flirting with them like some common slut?”, he sneered at you.
You scoffed, shocked at the venomous words that were coming out of his mouth. He had never acted like this toward you before.
“You’re un-fucking-believable, you know that Cross? I’m not doing this with you right now.”
You turned on your heel to leave, but didn’t make it even two steps before he was grabbing your arm and pulling you back around towards him. You yanked yourself out of his grip, startled at his harshness.
“Don’t touch me!”, you yelled, furious and confused at the way he had manhandled you, your words accompanied by a finger being pointed into his chest.
Suddenly, the hand that had grabbed your arm was encircling your raised wrist, clenching it tightly as he brought his face closer to yours.
“Don’t raise your fucking voice at me,” Crosshair said, voice menacingly calm and eerily low. His grip on your wrist was only getting tighter, and the look in his eyes was frighteningly intense.
You had never been afraid of Crosshair before. You had seen him in combat, and you knew how scary he could be, but you yourself had never been scared of him. But now, with his fingers digging so hard into your skin there was sure to be bruises and his eyes boring into you, you felt a fearful uneasiness toward him.
“Cross,” you began quietly, “please let go of me.”
He didn’t respond, and his silence did nothing but increase your fear.
“Please,” you asked him again, “you’re hurting me.”
Maybe it was the pleading look in your eye, or the tremble in your voice, but something finally clicked. He released you and took a step back, blinking in surprise as though he was just as confused by his actions as you were. Relief flooded you as your wrist was freed, and you rubbed the skin lightly, already beginning to see the formation of some marks.
You glanced up at Crosshair to see him staring at your hand, an unreadable look on his face. He reached out very slowly to touch your bruised wrist, looking to you for confirmation before making contact, and examined it with a feather light touch for a few moments.
“I…,” he started, pausing to swallow thickly, “I’m… sorry. I’m really sorry. For all of it.”
A part of you— the stubborn part— felt you shouldn’t have forgiven him as quickly as you did, but between the sincerity of his apology and the glassiness of his eyes you couldn’t help it. You moved your hand so your fingers interlocked with his, and you gave him a small smile as you replied.
“That’s all I wanted from you, idiot. I can’t believe it was that hard to get a simple apology.”
Crosshair chuckled wryly and pulled you gently to his chest, wrapping his arms around you and speaking into your hair as he responded sarcastically.
“I’ve never apologized for anything before, I didn’t know how to do it.”
Hushed giggles filled the room as you and Tech lay in his bunk, your head on his chest and his legs tangled with yours. Your relationship was still new, so many things to still be shared, and the last few nights found the two of like this, cuddled into each other and whispering for hours about anything and everything.
You felt Tech shift slightly beneath you as you talked, and a few moments later he very shyly interrupted you.
“Would it be alright if…um….c-can i play with your hair?”
You smiled sweetly up at him as you gave him permission, laughing inwardly at his awkwardness. Tech was certainly a novice when it came to the intricacies of romantic affection, and his approach had so far been pretty timid, and yet extremely endearing.
Sighing as his digits began to comb through your locks, you finished explaining the insane dream you had had a few weeks ago.
“What about you?”, you questioned absently. “What’s the craziest dream you’ve ever had?”
Tech stayed quiet for a few moments, fingers briefly pausing as he collected his thoughts before replying.
“I’ve dreamt about this,” he answered, so quiet you almost missed it. You glanced up at him and your eyes locked on his, the adoration in his words and his gaze making your heart swell.
“Yeah?”, you asked with a light hum. “And is it everything you dreamed of?”
He grinned a little before craning his neck down and planting a gentle kiss on your nose.
“It is exponentially more than my subconscious could have possibly imagined”
hey folks! so i have a few requests sitting in my ask box and i don’t wanna seem like i’m ignoring them or like peace outing bc i do still wanna post bad batch content BUT i’m very very sick in the head and sometimes if a request doesn’t like instantly spark joy i simply can’t force myself to write it. like i hope that doesn’t make me sound like a wretched hag it’s just the reality unfortunately
HOWEVER like i said i don’t wanna just like not do anything so i’m gonna try doing prompt requests so that that way the idea is already there and juicy and i can actually write things!!
ok so i have kinda planned a lot of it out already BUT would y’all be interested in a multi-chapter tech x reader fic if that’s what i devoted myself to? also if I did this would y’all want a fem reader or gender neutral (i try to keep most of my stuff gender neutral but it would be much easier to do fem)?? i also thought about using a nickname for the reader bc I don’t love y/n BUT i feel like theres a lot about the reader character thats already kinda specific and i don’t like when the “reader” is basically just an oc ya know? idk i wanna hear what y’all think
….Everyone hating on Tech’s hairline/not understanding Tech thirst because of his hairline is going to be in for a treat when they are dating in their late-20s lol
no seriously the aggression towards techs hairline is so funny to me bc it’s like. do you think a lightly receding hairline will stop me? i literally experienced sexual attraction to ouat rumplestiltskin (scaly version) at 16 years of age. like the scaly lizard man tik tok was not a joke for me. I LITERALLY HAD A CRUSH ON MASTER SHIFU FROM KUNG FU PANDA AS A CHILD. THE LITTLE FUCK FACE RED PANDA SENSEI. like that’s sickness right there. tech and his chunky hairline are not an issue
I am not sure if you have done this already, (if you have, you can ignore it) BUT... I'd love to see some NSFW headcannons for Tech...
i have not done this yet but i am frothing at the mouth at the opportunity! the lust that i feel for that man is indescribable
nsfw tech headcanons
warning: if the title wasn’t clear, these are literally just dirty dirty sex thoughts. X rated shit. if filth of this nature is not suitable for you plz don’t read<3
first and foremost it is very very important for me to say that i know, with 100% confidence, that tech is the best at sex of all the bad batch members
i understand this may be a controversial take. some of you may disagree. i don’t care.
the reasons that tech is the best at sex are threefold
1) tech does not tolerate being anything less than exceedingly proficient when it comes to his knowledge and abilities in any given subject of interest. regardless of the occasion, he won’t accept a below average performance from himself. tech has put in the hours, on and off the field (if you will), to ensure he is well versed in anything and everything to do with sex and pleasure. and he’s always anxious to experiment and learn more
2) tech is not hindered by shyness in the bedroom. when he knows what he’s doing, tech is confident (borderline arrogant), and as stated in reason #1, he KNOWS what he’s doing. tech may be a blushing, bashful mess when it comes to the emotional aspects of a relationship, but once y’all start getting hot and heavy he loses pretty much all of that. he knows he’s gonna show you a good time, and he’s excited
3) tech is also not hindered by pride in the bedroom. he has a very holistic view of sex (seriously he did a lot of research, he knows every school of thought regarding sexual intimacy), and he understands it in both a physical, theoretical way and also in a more emotional way. his main concern is mutual satisfaction by any means necessary, but if you’re in a relationship he’s also very interested in using sex has a way to like strengthen your connection. tech has no interest in being some kind of macho, alpha male that can conquer you or something. he’s not gonna limit himself to certain positions or methods to try to preserve his sense of masculinity. he wants you to feel good, and nothing is off the table. he will explore anything to enhance the experience (like seriously anything- we will get into that in a bit)
so for those reasons, i think tech is lowkey a sex god
whether or not you’ve had sex before when you and tech get together, sleeping with him for the first time might as well be your first time ever
because you did not know sex could really be THAT good
and that’s before he has the opportunity to really learn your body and figure out the best ways to pleasure you
i think that for a hot second, sex with tech is always a little bit of an experiment
he’s obviously focused on you and the moment, but he’s also doing research. (with your permission) tech will literally take detailed notes, he’ll record you so he can watch it back and analyze his performance like a professional athlete or something. he’s keeping track of how you respond to different things, how fast he can get you hurtling over the edge with different positions, paces, toys, etc.
side note: he loves toys. tech will modify toys (or fully build his own) based on both of your specific needs, so that even the toys yall use are designed with maximum efficiency
that’s really the only flaw with tech in a sexual sense: he’s really really methodical in the beginning, and it can sometimes take away from the genuine passion of the moment
once he’s satisfied with his research and feels confident in his knowledge of your body tho, it becomes wayyyy more natural and intimate rather than a science experiment. he’s solid in his physical knowledge of you, so he’s more focused on enjoying the moment and having fun
it’s almost like he needed to memorize the best way to fuck you and do it over and over until he didn’t need to consciously think about it before he could fully let himself go with you. there’s a notable transition when sex goes from being a technical mission for him to achieve your orgasm, to being a mutually/equally passionate, erotic experience
tech is a switch and you can’t change my mind
he usually assumes more of a dominant role, enjoying having you begging and whimpering beneath him, but he also loves when you take the reigns and have your way with him
i don’t think he’s the horniest of all the batchers, but he most certainly has a plentiful sex drive
when y’all haven’t had a chance to fuck in a while tech is secretly incorrigible
to the untrained eye, he’s good at keeping it to himself, but it’s very obvious to you. he goes out of his way to be just a little too close to you, his eyes linger on you just a little too long, his hands find their way to be touching you more than normal
he’s usually really easy to tease, but especially when he’s like this
literally you just stroke his forearm and whisper something lightly seductive in his ear and he’s pulling you into the nearest private space and absolutely rearranging your guts
circling back to what i said about tech becoming less scientific and more passionate during sex as time goes on with you, i think that also applies to dirty talk
i think he’s generally pretty vocal in bed, but it takes a little bit for him to nail the sensuality of dirty talk
at first, it’s not something he can really do that sounds very natural, like it comes out just a little too technical sounding
but once tech gets comfortable with you and really lets himself be fully vulnerable and open to you, he’s actually really really good at it. it still sounds just a little formal, but in an endearing and sexy way
he loves to tell you how sexy you are, how beautiful you look, how well you’re taking him, how good you feel
this man def has a degradation kink (specifically with intelligence)
like he doesn’t even really realize it himself until one time he’s testing out his newest toy on you and he asks you how it feels and you can’t even string together a coherent thought, much less a sentence, and he notices and starts asking more and more questions just to see you struggle to think of a response
and then he’s putting the toy down and going absolutely feral on you, pounding into you and saying that you’re just a cock dumb slut, that you’re so desperate and horny for him you can’t even think, that it’s so easy to just just absolute filth and he’s so condescending and arrogant about it
you both finish almost synchronously and after the aftershocks have passed and you’ve caught your breath, the two of you can’t help giggling a little bit as you comment that you weren’t expecting that to be as hot as it was, and he agrees
and omg if you uno reverse card it and do the same thing to him? he’s a fucking mess
like you’ve been torturously edging him, and every time you get him to the brink you ask him some sort of complex mathematical question or something, and he’s so wrecked he can’t spit the answer out so you say something like “aww i guess you’re not as smart as i thought, that’s ok baby at least you’re still pretty”. he’s a whining, shaking mess by the time you let him cum
(once he pulls himself together he definitely gets you back for it too)
also i think tech really really likes to leave hickeys on you exactly in the most precarious places. like he knows the exact measurements of where your clothes cover your skin and he loves to leave marks like right on the edge so that it’s mostly hidden but if anything shifts it’s visible
if any of the the other boys notice and tease you, he gets the most smug little grin on his face. once you have a second to yourselves, he saunters over to you and apologizes, but you know he’s happy to remind everyone that you’re his
overall i am just so fucking horny for this man like i just know tech is a phenomenal lover, he’s so focused on you and is just so good at all of it i would give anything to take him to pound town
