Another post-ship AU. Garret still struggles with body issues, and Stefan takes him to pride to get over them.
Work Text:
"Guess where we are" Stefan said.
Garret sighed. He allowed the possum to put his paws over his eyes while Tabby drove them to the parade. Gail giggled to their side.
"Guess we arrived, then" Garret said, playing the bit.
"Just parking" Tabby said, monotonously as ever.
The car doors opened, and Stefan was dedicated t...

Jenna looked at her phone. Carl had texted her, sending her a picture of him a begruding Flynn with pride pins, pan and gay respectively.
It was adorable.
Jenna had always been perplexed at how her entire friend group was LGBT. Chase and Leo (and then Kudzu), TJ and Sydney, Carl and Flynn. All of them confessed to her privately, which never ceased to amuse her. It took them a while, but all the guys came out of their closets.
As for her?
She did consider other women at...

I see myself as Wepwawet,
Who opens the gates of Duat.
From those gates come plague,
Enslavement,
Genocide.
A forest torn down in Brazil,
Heads cut in Timor,
Slave ships in the Atlantic.
Is this my legacy, oh Empire
Where the sun never sets?
No.
I love my tongue but not my hands.
I love my soul but not my spirit,
Destined to join my ancestors.
I am me,
I am the...

I’m relatively new to Zerocalcare’s works. I watched Tear Along The Dotted Line and I was in love with that. Frankly, he’s an inspiration as an artist and activist, so I’ll be extra careful to not meet my hero.

Two sensitive bois preffer a more intimate celebration

Wallace was typing on his computer, finishing the assignment.
It was pride month, and for the first time in his life he felt like celebrating it. But the idea of going to a parade was intimidating, so he decided on a more private celebration. And he knew who just to call.

As he drew his last breath, Sam saw everything.
He saw his mistakes, his smothering of Simone, his inability to comfort his brother.
He saw stars, so many endless stars, an ocean of light where there should be void.

He had no name for those things but evil.
And they caught Grey in their trap, alongside four other souls.

Devon sighed.
Cameron was just sitting idly by. He was recovering, but his anhedonia was still severe. Just a week ago, he had given up music for good. And he avoided going out when Artie and Maria were involved.
Still, he was improving. And Devon knew it was time.
So he sat on one knee, next to Cameron.
"Cameron Wilson, will you marry me?"
Cam was stunned.
He then cried.

Amazingly, Devon's promise was true: they lasted 110 years.
On Cameron's end, the Echo episode made the finaly years painful, but pain was nonexistent with the love of his life by his side.
They laid together in bed, nuzzling one another.
They both knew their lives were fading, strength sapped from their limbs, Cameron feeling life energy fading, but they could only smile.
They kissed, then went to...

One particular trip to Vanaheimr, a storm brewed in the air.
Bored, Manuel saw a herd of wild cows.
He assumed the form of one, and joined them.
A god within a beast's body, he admired how strong he was, and how powerful his limbs were.
He run through the field, and decided he would rather fly.
So he became a winged mammal once more, crescents dotting his wings, and he flew out of Vanaheimr, unto the cosmos.<...

Hati stared at the sea.
He loved it. He loved it so very much.
No longer bound to his fate, he could stare at the rejuvenated waves of the Atlantic, at the flocks of terns flying abound.
Beneath the waves, his uncle coiled and churned the waters.
"Good tidings, nephew" Jörmungandr whispered, his voice the waves themselves.
Hati groaned. His uncle loved that pun.
