Summary:

After 15 years apart, Buddy and Vespa are relearning their relationship and the ways they’ve changed. It’s not just the big things, like Buddy’s mechanical parts or Vespa’s radiation-addled brain, but the little changes that seem to matter just as much. Any relationship takes time, especially when that time was stolen from them for so long, and they’re working together to figure out how to navigate each other now that they aren’t the same people that they once were.

A relationship study told through the five senses.

i posted the first chapter of a fic i’ve been working on for quite a while! i don’t normally post my fics on tumblr (i’m much more active on twitter) but this one is pretty important to me so i wanna shout about it from the internet rooftops!

Summary:

Vespa Ilkay was tired. After vowing not to return to the lighthouse that had haunted her childhood, her father’s abrupt death forces her to figure out what’s going to happen to the one place she’d rather never think about. That being said, she was quickly discovering that maybe the beachside town of Ranga wasn’t the worst place to be after all. At least the company was nice.

An AU where Buddy is a mermaid, Vespa is bedraggled, and a song is sung.

my vesbud mermaid au that i started back in february is finally complete! while i will be posting an epilogue (and possibly some bonus oneshots), the actual fic is done! i hope y’all like the ending!

my partner recently pointed out that there’s a brand of motor scooter called “buddy” and we all know about vespas so what i’m proposing is a vesbud college au (solely because college kids on big campuses own scooters) where vespa owns a buddy scooter and buddy owns a vespa and they meet ugly crash into each other on their way to class and they think the other is pulling an insurance scam when they give their names because it’s just the names of the bikes! so they part ways bitterly

but it turns out that they’re both in the same first year class (whatever the class you’re required to take your freshman year is called at cerberus university or whatever) and when the professor calls roll they realize neither of them gave a fake name and they confront each other after class like

vespa: your name is actually buddy

buddy: and your name is vespa

vespa: hey, i chose that name, watch what you say about it

buddy: why on earth did you name yourself after a scooter

vespa: I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE SCOOTER WHEN I PICKED IT OKAY

and then buddy is incredibly charmed and they end up getting coffee together and fall in love the end

Summary:

[ORIGINAL SUMMARY]

“I know the other shoe will drop,” she grinded out, “The dreams just make it more real.”

Vespa couldn’t see Buddy with her eyes closed, but she could feel the hand in hers give a squeeze, could feel the hand caressing her face tilt her chin down. “Vespa, do you think I’m going to leave you?” Buddy asked.

–

Vespa has a nightmare. Buddy will not lose her. The author really loves women.

[ID: a three-panel comic of juno and peter from the penumbra podcast. in the first panel, they are sitting and leaning against each other with their backs turned to the camera in front of a screen. the text says “*watching a stream together*”. in the second panel they are facing forwards and juno is gesturing wildly with his hands while peter watches him and smiles. juno is saying, “STOP TALKING! Why do they have to monologue? I HATE monologues”. in the third panel, they are positioned the same except juno is looking at peter inquisitively and peter is looking at the screen. he is saying, “Juno, you are the death of art”. END ID]

penumbra characters as shit my roommates and i say to each other pt. 1: jupeter edition! the irony of juno’s complaints is definitely lost on him but i find the idea that juno just hates it when characters on streams monologue despite his own tendencies really funny
