The Umbrella Academy But There’s No Context

Pepper: what the fuck? why is the house on fire?

Peter: in my defence, Mr. Stark was supposed to be supervising me

Tony: and in my defence, I myself was left unsupervised

Pepper: Jesus Christ

Weird Humans: Supression of basic needs in face of greater goals.

Humans have a history of denying themselves basic needs in face of a greater goals. Some humans become so consumed by their set task that needs such as sleep, food, hydration, and safety are put aside. At The Gathering, one of the largest gaming conventions in Europe, a part of the volunteer crew is tasked with making rounds to check that people are following up on their basic needs for sustenance, sleep, and movement. Certain athlethes will abstain from physical contact, paeticularly sexual contact, to improve their focus before an event. Artists, office workers, soldiers, nurses - allmost every group of humans can bring forth a story, either from personal experience, or heresay, to underline the human ability to repress basic needs for a period to accomplish something.

And then you have the optimized aliens who have seen the light and have structured everything so that they have every need met at mostly any given time. Now, take this alien and put them in a group project with other humans. Who are of a mind to finish everything quickly and then slack for the rest of the allocated time. Because humans are experts at using external stimulants, such as caffeine and nicotine, to supress being tired or hunger. Because college is no joke and humans are good at riding the bullshit wave.

Imagine some haggard student introducing his alien friend to the great Student God: Bullshitticus, and his two lovely muses Thesaurata and Caffeinata. Alien never studied human religious practices and gets awed about the fact that there is a human deity dedicated to writing papers, and his muses are the personifications of a vocabulary and an external stimulant used to forcefully keep people awake. Of course human student is full of caffeine and running on spite and pizza, so they forget to mention that this god is an old tumblr meme (and aliens have actually made courses that study memes) so this Alien edits the Horrendous Human Handbook ™. The knowledge spreads and aliens are baffled. The humans familiar with this old meme will quietly laugh and pretend nothing is wrong, because humans are also masters of waiting to see if shit hits the fan in a hillarious manner.

Wade: Cable just gave me a get better soon card…

Peter: Awe that’s sweet.

Wade: No, I wasn’t sick or anything? He just thought I should be better!

For decades you’ve worked as a superhero protecting the city and its people. Your powers have been slowly killing you for years but you kept being a hero much to your doctor’s protest. The citizens are starting to take notice.

“What do you do in your free time!”

”oh uh-“

Natasha, talking in front of a camera: Yeah, so the Avengers are back together again. I think after two years we really needed a break to recollect and find ourselves individually. I think it really open ourselves a lot to each other :).

Meanwhile, Steve is coming from behind: WHO THE FUCK ATE ALL THE HOT POCKETS!

Tony, shoving the last entire hot pocket in front of him: What you gonna do about it?

Steve: *Screams*

Tony: *Steps on top of a stool and Screams higher to insert dominance*

Natasha: Ahh, it really feels like home whenever you’re around each other :).

Any Harry Potter themed fics to share? Thanks so much for all your hard work, love you guys and happy holidays!

Thank you and Happy holidays to you too! HP au happens to be one of my fav things out there and I wish there were more people writing about Destiel in Hogwarts! We’ve actually done a Harry Potter post before and HERE is the link to that! The first post was kind of a sneak peak (or dump site for all the unfinished and not so great stories) for this post because all my favourite stories are in this ask! So, grab your tea/coffee and make yourself comfortable because there will be fluff! (lol I HP always makes me feel Christmasy and therefor I need my cocoon of blankets and my chai latte to set the mood for these fics!) – Admin A

Admin A’s notes: If this isn’t the cutest thing ever then I don’t know what is! I have to admit it guys but I have a huge thing for HP au fics and there needs to be more fics like this where the guys are teachers rather than students… Yeah, I have issues with HS fics.

Summary: Dean, Flying Instructor extraordinaire at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has fallen head over heels for Castiel Novak, the criminally gorgeous Herbology professor. It’s definitely the most hideous man crush to ever grace the hallowed castle, and for Merlin’s sake Dean hopes that he’ll be able to bloody do something about it one of these days.

Title: Thunderstruck verse

Admin’s assessment: ★ ★ ★

Admin A’s notes: I really like the idea of Dean and Cas being part of Dumbledore’s army and kind of telling a story from the eyes of someone who was fighting in the backlines rather than Destiel taking the roles of Harry, Ron and Hermione. I kind of wish the actual story and writing were better though. For me, there was way too much emphasis on their time in Dumbledore’s army and then suddenly we are skipping time to adulthood and the end of the story felt very rushed. Which is disappointing because Dean and Cas don’t really get together until the end so all the good Destiel moments didn’t feel that thought out to me. But nonetheless it was a good story and one of the best one’s in this genre in my opinion!

Summary: Dean Winchester, a half-blood Gryffindor joins Dumbledore’s Army in his 6th Year and finally meets Castiel Novak, a Muggle-born Hufflepuff. After Castiel manages to produce Patronus on his first try, Dean is immediately curious about the quiet Prefect and ends up forming an unlikely friendship that doesn’t go as smoothly as they wish.

Admin’s assessment: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Admin A’s notes: This was the best! I know it’s not exactly HP Au since the setting isn’t Hogwarts and all that, but Cas is still a wizard and Sam and Dean are muggles. I totally loved this fics, I mean the whole idea of Cas going undercover to write a piece about muggles and their daily lives was genius and the only downside (in my opinion) was that there wasn’t enough Destiel moments for me. Don’t get me wrong, the plot was genius and had me laughing in every other sentence, but I was constantly craving for more fluff between Dean and Cas. I need a sequel guys!

Summary: In 2008 Seattle, one Wizarding reporter and two Muggle brothers find themselves sharing an apartment. Things go smoothly for the most part, aside from the fact that Castiel fails spectacularly at dressing like a Muggle, Dean is having issues with PDA, and there’s an American chapter of Death Eaters who have it out for cultural anthropologists.

Admin’s assessment: ★ ★ ★ ★

Admin A’s notes: This verse was so fluffy and sweet. The only thing I don’t love (this applies to all fanfiction out there) is that in the last part of this verse there’s like 5k words but it’s broken into four chapter… Seriously guys don’t do that. 1k/chapter is way too fucking short. I mean it’s tolerable with stories that have less than five chapters but I’ve seen/read fics with 60k words broken into more than 60 chapters :’D It just sucks, okay! Lol…. I had to get that off my chest because damn that thing bothers me so much.

Summary: Castiel hesitated, unsure of what to do. Dean was crying softly, obviously trying to avoid waking the others. He might not appreciate it if Castiel approached him or tried to comfort him. Most boys didn’t like to admit they’d been crying, Castiel had learned when Luke jinxed him when he asked what was wrong that night last summer. He had a feeling that Dean would be just as bad as Luke was about it. He’d noticed Dean at the feast, teasing a girl sitting next to him and laughing loudly with everyone about some story about Quidditch. Dean wouldn’t want a stranger to know that he’d been crying, Castiel was sure of it.

Admin A’s notes: I think my love for HP fics exceeds my hate for high school au. I mean I’d prefer if Dean and Cas were professors or just otherwise involved in HP setting, but I don’t hate them being students and teenagers.

Summary: It’s Dean and Cas’ 4th year at Hogwarts, and amongst all the Quidditch games and Dean’s bad decisions, their friendship is getting pummeled. If only a bludger would come and knock some sense into him…
