Will Steel be one of ROs? I remember there was a discussion on COG forum, but don't think it was decided then :))) I love your writing and can't wait to play!!!

While Argent and Herald will be RO’s for book two, I am not yet sure about Steel.There will definitely be a friendship arc, but whether that will get romantic, I can’t tell.

Don’t get me wrong here, I think the potential for amazing/hilarious/heartfelt scenes is there, and oh boy, I want to write some of them (I am a sucker for drama) but at this moment I think the timing lends it more to him being a book 3 romance. 

But, seeing as I’m still not halfway into book 2, who knows for sure?

Summary:

You need to be strong.
Ricardo smiles and nods and starts doing your buttons up.
There’s a handful of seconds of blessed silence, where all you can hear is breathing and the sound of cloth moving around.
It’s peaceful.
Anathema would be making a joke now, something that would make Ortega laugh and maybe, just maybe, make you smile. Sidestep would chime in with something witty and mildly offensive and you would firmly, but politely, tell him where to shove his opinions.
You need to be a rock in the waterfall, an island in the ocean.
Be strong.

Anon: (I have no idea if my prompt went through, it was one asking for second perspective Steel with him seeing present day neutral Sidestep’s ‘scars’ 💔?)

Fallen hero; Steel and n!sidestep; 2nd perspective, angst; scars

Trying a bit different technique for (unwanted) inner thoughts, if people have trouble reading I can switch it back to italics.

Edit: If you can’t read the crossed out lines I’ve put up another version where Italics are used instead.

SPOILERS!!!

We’ve seen friendship fluff, now let’s roll for some angst! 2nd perspective Wei Chen & MC: I can’t decide between giving you- one seeing of them seeing the other have a nightmare/terror or Steel being mindcontrolled (as we know that is a thing that can happen to him from word of god) and the chaos that ensues from that sort of fight.

depressed-sock answered:

Fallen hero/ Steel and Mc/ 2nd person/ friendship angst (yeeesss… I mean uh *cough* yep I can do that.)

Right so firstly I ended up writing this on my phone (so it might have a bit more errors), secondly I realized late that I might have included a spoiler because I was so focused on angst. Soooooo if you dont mind the spoiler I’ll just let this be but if you’re avoiding spoilers dont read this and send an ask, I’ll do an edited version to exclude spoilers.

This wasn’t what was supposed to happen. You were the one who was supposed to be in control but now… now everything felt so beyond it.

You watch as Steel stands, wiping the blood from his mouth. The look in his eyes are.. you cant tell. You cant tell if what your seeing is blankness or pure unbridled rage. Everything feels so wrong; fighting Steel feels so wrong.

It shouldn’t matter, he’s an enemy and he’s in your way. He was always going to be in your way.

But you can feel the panic building in the back of your throat. It wasn’t supposed to be this way though. Steel was supposed to be himself, not whatever it is that has its hold on him.

This fight was supposed to be just you and him… but did you honestly want to fight him?

You thought you would be strong enough, just like with Ortega but… this feels different. This feels so wrong, and every part of you is screaming at you to stop this.

It would be so easy to stop him. So easy to let the nanovores devour his implants… maybe he’d finally stop. Maybe he’d finally die.

NO! It will not have control. Lock the door don’t let it out. Focus, focus on stopping Steel. This fight isn’t to see whose strongest, who can break the easiest. This fight is to stop Steel and to save him.

Steel moves faster than you expect, why is this so hard? You counter move after move but everything is so sluggish. Did he somehow damage your suit?

Or are you just ready to die?

The thought catches you off guard just long enough for Steel to land a solid punch, shattering your helmet. You stumble back shocked and glance up to see the sneer that covers Steels face.

“Pathetic,” he strides forward and all you can do is stumble backwards until you trip landing on your backside. “Such a wretched, disgusting thing you are. A toy that thinks it’s human.” Your starting to shake. Are you crying?

“You should have stayed dead,” and you can no longer tell if It’s the one behind him holding the strings talking or if it’s what Steel really thinks.

You choke back a sob, closing your eyes, screaming as you let loose the nanovores.

…..

“Hey!”

You start, sitting straight up into a sitting position trying to choke back the sobs wracking you’re body. Steel stands above you looking concerned, his hand just barely reaching out as if to help you … or to hurt you.

The thought makes you shudder and bring a hand to your mouth trying to fight back the bile rising in your throat. Panic courses through you. Did you fall asleep?

Fuck!

You move off the couch you had aparently fallen asleep on. You run past Steel, past everyone in your way.

This was bad, so fucking bad. You’d let your guard down, you’d fallen asleep in enemy territory.

Does it have to be enemy territory?

Of course it does, you know how they’d react to you. You know Steel will never truly care about you; you know that he’d be disgusted with your very existence.

It’s better to just stay focused and do what you have to when the time comes. No more fuck ups.

I'd like a Steel and MC friendship one for Fallen Hero, if that's possible! :) From Steel's POV! Where he and the MC meet at the dog park, MC finds an abandoned dog which instantly takes a liking to them (and Spoon), and the MC decides to adopt it and name it Fork!

depressed-sock answered:

Fallen hero; Steel and mc friendship; 2nd perspective Steel; doggies

I hope you like it!!! (Yay more Spoon! If no ones been able to tell yet I love animals!)

Warning: small mention of animal injury but no violence against the animal.

It’s strange how this relationship? Friendship? developed. You lean back against a tree watching as Sidestep grabs the toy from Spoon, then tosses it a distance away with Spoon happily chasing after it.

Their smile is the brightest you’ve ever seen it and you wonder what you missed out on all those years ago. You wonder if you had treated them differently, if you’d tried to trust them if maybe things would be different. Maybe they wouldn’t occasionally look as haunted as they proabably feel, maybe they wouldn’t be haunted at all.

You shake your head, that’s not a road you should go down. To little too late to change the past, all you can do is change what you do in the present.

“Hey!” Sidestep’s voice reverberates through the park and your head snaps up watching as they storm over towards a group of people who immediately scatter.

You push off the tree, jogging to catch up to Sidestep as they kneel down. As you get closer you can hear the growling.

They hold out their hand towards a large battered brown dog, blood dripping from a long gash across its face. It responds with another growl its body tensed to spring should anyone try to get closer.

“I’m not sure-”

“Shush,” Sidestep responds barely eyeing you over their shoulder. They keep still keeping their hand steady, the dog slowly moves forward sniffing their hand and than letting out a whimper as it headbuts into Sidestep’s chest. Sidestep quickly envelopes it in a hug.

“See your not as scary as they thought,” Sidestep murmurs carefully petting the dogs head. A sadness makes its way into their eyes as they look over the dog.

“There’s a vet nearby, …was that group? ” you leave the ask open ended and placing a hand on Sidestep’s shoulders kneeling down, just barely catching Spoon as he tries to get closer to the injured dog.

“Its ok,” Sidestep nods towards Spoon and you reluctantly let go, allowing Spoon to gently lick the other dogs face and laying next to it. Sidestep look back up and shakes their head, “They were just trying to scare her off. Which way to the vet?”

“I can take you there.”

“You don’t have too.”

“That’s true,” you shrug your shoulders and move to pick up the dog only to pause, “ She’s not going to bite me, is she?” You give them a side look and they let out a laugh.

“No, she won’t.”

….

Spoon runs chasing after the thrown toy only to have a happy brown dog with a scar over her face steal it and take off with it.

“Why does it not surprise me that she takes after you,” you lean back on the bench, Sidestep sitting beside you.

They let out a laugh, “Well it’s good she learned from the best than.” They shrug their shoulders, a bright smile on their face as they watch Spoon and Fork play.

“I still can’t believe you named her that,” you sigh though your small smile betrays you.

“Well the plan is that we get Ortega to get a dog too so we can name it Knife,” they look at you with a conspiratorial look, “and have a complete set!”

You can’t help the groan that comes out or the chuckle.

Seeing as you are doing this and tagged fallen hero: 💜 (f/p) with Ortega and Steel, perhaps either during Heartbreak event or comforting each other through the nightmares years later before MC resurfaces (late kitchen talk over cocoa perhaps?)

depressed-sock answered:

Fallen Hero; Ortega and Steel friendship, nightmares and comfort

3rd or 2nd person

Alright I admittedly have a difficult time with 3rd person but I shall attempt it!

(I used Steels first name because it seems Ortega uses that when it’s just them and Steel; I also can’t tell if I made Steel to ooc because I’m pretty sure he acts differently with a close friend compared to someone he doesn’t trust annnnddd this may have turned out more angst filled than intended I’m so sorry)

 Ortega felt so paralyzed, felt so full of fear as they watch as Sidesteps hands move mechanically pulling the gun towards their own head.  

No please not again, please just let me save them

 Sidesteps eyes stare blankly at Ortega and Ortega want’s so badly to move. To shout and scream and make them stop but there’s nothing they can do. Nothing anyone can do as Sidestep slowly squeezes the trigger.

 BANG

  They jump falling off their chair, sweat covering their back as they quickly scan the area. Wei stands in the doorway watching them with a frown and they quickly stand and coughing into their hand.  

 “Wei, didn’t uh…didn’t see you there,” they let out a shaky laugh, scratching the back of their head.

 “It’s 3:30 am Ortega,” he says striding into the kitchen and towards the cabinets.

 “Shit,” Ortega whispers before sitting back in the seat they fell out of, placing their head in their hands. Behind them they can hear Wei moving, cups clinking as the grab one out of the cabinet. “If it’s 3:30 why are you here?” Ortega looks up and back at Wei who’s started up the coffee machine.  They raise an eyebrow at Wei and he just responds with a shrug.

 “Had a feeling you might still be here,” he’s quiet a moment before he asks, “Do you want to talk about it?”

 Ortega sighs, rubbing their eyes, “Honestly I don’t even know.” The coffee machine beeps and Wei grabs the cup moving to place it in front of Ortega.  The sweet smell of cocoa drifts up from a slightly chipped mug and Ortega barely holds back a sob. Wei places a comforting hand on Ortega’s shoulder and Ortega grabs hold with their own hand.

 “I’m sorry,” Wei’s hand tightens on their shoulder and they let out a choked laugh.

 “Shouldn’t I be the one saying that… after everything that happened…after everything I let happen…”  they swallow another choked sob.

 Wei sighs and pulls up a chair beside Ortega, keeping his hand firmly on their shoulder, and he sits letting his head lean on the side of Ortega’s, “There’s nothing we could have done, we didn’t know what we were getting into and we didn’t know how it would affect any of us.”

 “I could ha-“

 “No,” Wei shifts Ortega so that they now have to look him in the eye. Softly he says, “We can’t change the past Ortega.”

 They let out another sob as Wei pulls them into a hug. The hot cocoa in the chipped mug left forgotten as Ortega cries on Wei’s shoulder.

For a prompt for you, a red heart one perhaps? Steel realising he may have a crush on MC as they help him with his mods or perhaps they're just spending time together and he suddenly notices. 2nd perspective neutral please?

depressed-sock answered:

Fallen Hero; Romance Steel/sidestep; 2nd perspective;  Steel realizing he has feelings for sidestep (more like Steel in denial lol)

(on a belated note I have discovered I have no idea if Steel curses or if he even likes cats)

Steel Perspective:

 Sidestep scrunches up their face, concentrating as they work on repairing an old laptop; before letting out a string of curses as it sparks. They move away from it glaring and shaking their hand trying to ease the pain. It almost makes you laugh… almost.

 “Whose laptop is that?” you ask placing your own tools down on the table next top theirs.

 They shrug, “I don’t know. I just repair the shitty tech not deal with the customers.”  They continue to glare at the laptop, scrunching their nose in disgust.

 “..deal with…Wait you have a job?” you ask surprised and they turn their glare upon you. Admittedly they more look like an offended cat than anything dangerous… it’s kind of cute…

 Wait… No no no no no

 You did not just think Sidestep was cute. Where the hell did that thought come from?

 “Yes, Chen I have a job,” they say as they stand up and strut forward until they’re standing in front of you. They…are standing really close… “What did you…” Their eyes narrow as they look you up and down. “What’s wrong with your leg?”

 “Nothing,” you grit out through your teeth because why the hell would you ever think they were cute. And why do you feel… flustered? No no no no this is not happening. Your mind is playing tricks on you or maybe it’s Sidestep playing tricks on your mind.

 Your eyes narrow, but all Sidestep does is roll their eyes and move back to the table they were working at grabbing tools. “Sit,” they say pointing to a nearby chair.

 You cross your arms across your chest, “And why would I do that?” Yes it has to be Sidestep, you knew they would try to pull something like this.

 “Chen you’re not putting your full weight on one of your legs which either means it’s hurting or it needs adjust or both,” they seem exasperated already, “Just sit down and I can help fix it.”

 “Oh? You mean like the laptop?” You refuse to budge; you’re not going to fall for this trick.

 “The laptop is a piece of junk,” they laugh a bit and god does that sound good. NO you are not thinking that. “I hope the military has better tech than a shitty laptop,” their smirking; throwing and catching a screwdriver.

 You clench your jaw and instead of backing down you sit stiffly onto the chair pulling up the leg of your sweats. You can always double check it after their done or at least have someone you trust check it. They let out an exasperated laugh as the sit cross-legged on the ground next to your leg; silently getting to work.

  “This looks new,” they say as they open the mod studying it carefully. You grunt in response trying not to think about how close they are, how their hand feels as it moves gently between where flesh and mod combine and… Fuck no. You are in control of your thoughts and you do not like Sidestep in that way.

 Your jaw begins to ache; your teeth clenching your mouth shut. It feels like its hours before Sidestep finishes. They stand up brushing off their pants than motion for you to stand.

 You stand carefully testing your weight on the leg; no more pain. You nod your head towards Sidestep and their face brightens into a beautiful smile…. Fuck.
