I Wanted To Post Something So I'm Actually Active. So Here, A Bullet Fic Set In An Alternate Universe

I wanted to post something so I'm actually active. So here, a bullet fic set in an alternate universe and the world's first taste of The Perfect Family. (And a little more context, in this AU at the very least, Aster owns and regularly rides a motorcycle. This is the first time Freddie is taken on a ride on it)

- because of something that I'm not going to spoil, high speed vehicles are stressful, so a bit of panic at first

- but he would agree because he'd guess it'd make Aster happy

- they'd kit him in motorbike gear - heavy leather jacket and pants and a good helmet - it'd be too big and would hang off him

- when on the bike, he'd cling to Aster so tightly, like fingers white, no amount of force would break his grip

- his eyes would be shut the first 5 or so minutes and he'd be shaking

- Aster knows fear when she sees it so she knew that he was afraid, so she didn't do any fancy turns until he's enjoying himself

- eventually, he'd get over the g-force similar feeling (spoilery there, you're welcome) and he'd open his eyes and start to enjoy they freedom of flying down the road

- he'd probably yelp a bit when he realises the wind was messing up his hair

- on the first turn, he'd absolutely pAniC and cling almost as tight as before

- he'd be a bit stiff coming off the bike, so he'd waddle over to Vi and just stretch his arms out so she could help him take off the copious amount of protection

- later, whenever Aster would offer a ride, if you looked very closely the moment she'd suggest it, you'd see a very genuine and excited smile and a spring in his step

Okay, I had to do this.

Sweetheart of a human who doesn't give two shits about gender struggles with an angsty power that caused them to be socially stunted.

Describe your favorite OC but like, really awfully. 

It's Zach's turn! He's also an only child. His mother died when he was a toddler, though he doesnt know how, since his father refused to talk about it. His dad is a police officer, who spends many hours on the field, putting himself in harm's way for everyone, even if it means going against his co-workers. Zach's dream is to follow in his father's footsteps, leading to a protective nature in times of danger, and he has been physically active his whole life. He can play any ball sport (and I mean any. Even though he grew up in an American-adjacent country, he has gone out of his way to learn about sports in other cultures), is very good at gymnastics and ballet, knows mixed martial arts and has done parkour on the weekends since he was four. He has a collection of stuffed animals that his mother started gathering for him that he continues to build on, which became a source of bullying that became so severe he moved schools. That led him to constructing an overly friendly mask - he's cordial towards everyone and has a lot of "friends", but struggles to be intimate/personal with anyone.

Did anyone ask for a more fleshed out angsty backstory for the resident nerd? No? Oh well

Freddie wasn't kidding when he said he was a genius. His biological parents, who are (were? I know but you don't) NASA scientists were smart, but not great family members. Their rigorous work ethic pushed them away from their families, so neither has seen or heard from their family in 10 years. Thus, leading to Freddie's extended family not even knowing he existed.

As a baby, and as soon as it was deemed safe by the hospital to expose him to a less controlled environment, he was in a baby backpack while his parents worked in their lab. When he was a little bigger, he was sat in the back of their private lab in a baby pen with wooden blocks painted with the periodic table. His parents didn't starve him, and payed a little attention to him, but it's safe to say they didn't interact with him as much as they should. At 4, he was finally allowed to work with his parents in tamer experiments, which truly set off his love for chemistry. Unfortunately, some time within the next two years his parents left on a space mission, effectively abandoning their son. Freddie fell into a bad depression, since they were his main source of human interaction, since they never took him anywhere but work. Freddie was shuttled into a foster center (he stayed at his school, thankfully) and spent most of his time in a ball either in a corner when he wasn't allowed to be in bed. He was mute for a very long time. This was the only time when his work suffered - he did the bare minimum to not be kicked out and had no side projects. Finally, he settled in with a couple who accommodated his smarts by pushing for a prestigious magnet middle school, and who could also deal with his aloofness. It took a lot of love, effort and time from his foster parents to get him to talk again.

Character Question 11

What sense do they most rely on?

Bella: sight. She has very good vision, surprisingly enough seeing as she does intense programming and wiring sessions. She did make special glasses for magnification so that probably helps. Good vision also means she can see the minuscule movements of finely tuned machines! And she has stellar hand-eye coordination.

Freddie: hearing. He wears glasses, so sight is pretty much out of the question. Sometimes experiments don't visually change but there is bubbling that's rarely heard by anyone but him.

Zach: touch. There is nothing like a lap in a cold pool or dribbling a basketball. It's relaxing for him. As a kid he often stuck his arms in dark holes to see what was inside (he still does it, just not as often) He's also great at gaging air resistance, oddly enough since he isn't skilled academically. It was a matter of practice. When he's pitching or spiking, a few almost throws of the ball will almost guarantee a perfect throw.

This is painfully true. I have something to work towards that I’m going to be posting on here, so I’ll attempt to use that as motivation to keep writing the actual book, since I promised myself I wouldn’t start something new until finishing chapter 10.

I’m hoping I can actually follow through.
