i wanna make a

by fivecenturiesverse

Lucas is the man of the group, he knows this. He's got to be the man, like Steve, and wear polos and khakis and come between evil and the weak and be a lady killer and a charming, funny, sweet guy. Like Steve who has started hanging out with Eddie Munson and getting piercings and wearing eyeliner and not being the man Lucas thought he was. “Steve is that an earring?” says Dustin, at one of his highest pitches, slap bang in the middle of one of Eddie’s tirades.Everyone pauses. Number one, you never interrupt Eddie, especially not during D&D. Number two, what? (Lucas has strong suspicions he can’t let Max ever find out about this, or she’s going to break-up with him and become a full-time Steve admirer.)They all lean forwards.Steve shifts slightly uncomfortably, but he looks amused. “Yeah.” He shrugs. And there it is, a single tiny silver hoop in his left ear. Lucas stares, amazed.“You’re a guy,” says Lucas, without thinking about it.Steve only laughs. “I am aware, Lucas, thank you.”

she sells seashells

“Ani.” “Do you think I’m manly?” Obi-Wan’s mind skips a beat or so just as he is bringing the hot mug towards his lips. He lowers it. “Manly?” he says. Anakin opens the cupboard by the stove and brings out every mixing and serving bowl therein. He sets them in front of the drying rack and rolls his falling sleeves back up. “You heard me,” he says. (Anakin has gender questions, so he wakes Obi-Wan up at ass-o-clock to demand answers.)

Sea Of Memory

by Wolfcry22

Five has never cared what others think of him or how he looked. However, when he sees Allison, Vanya, and Klaus painting each other’s nails, a pull deep within him has him wanting to try it, at least once, and see how it makes him feel. But, internalized fears of how others may perceive him are difficult to push away. Can he overcome society’s preconceived notion of femininity and masculinity, or will he too be caught up in his own worry of judgement to try?
