Concept for a funny Tuckington AU I came up with the other day:

Essentially- the first time you make contact with your soulmate directly with your skin on theirs, it leaves a permanent mark for the rest of your life.

And so basically the concept of the fic was that since they're wearing armor literally almost all of the time, Wash and Tucker in the fic have known each other for quite a while since they originally met and took down project freelancer, but had never physically made contact skin/skin.

But then one day they're just arguing like normal, and get in a particularly bad argument (Idk what it’s about), and they happen to just be inside of blue base and not wearing their armor, and Tucker just like, fuckin’- SLAPS Wash in the face AS HARD AS HE CAN.

And Wash is immediately pissed and is going to punch Tucker in retaliation but then sees that Tucker is just completely frozen in just pure shock and mortification like the complete dumbass he is, and Wash is still pissed and is like “WHAT?! WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?!”

And Tucker just kinda closes his eyes and is like

“Oh you've got to be fucking kidding…

.... You're going to fucking kill me.”

And Wash is still pissed off from the fight they'd been in, but now he's also incredibly confused, so it takes him a second to understand, but then it just slowly sinks in to his mind why Tucker is acting weird and he's just like “....... No...” And just like kinda touches his face and is like

“there's...

... I mean...... there's no way that......

…tell me I don't have a…”

And Tucker just kinda awkwardly has to inform him that yep, he now has a permanent marking in the shape of a hand print right on the side of his face (and Tucker has one on his palm). Chaos ensues.

I have more ideas about this too including some for Grimmons and Yorkalina, plus Tucker and Wash trying to hide their very obvious marks like the awkward morons they are lol

(sorry if this has been done before, I’ve never seen it hahaha)

Praying to our lord and savior Burnie that we get some good Tuckington angst content this season because the setup for it is PERFECT like PLEAAAAAASEEEEEEEE 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I BEG

If Rooster Teeth does meta!Tucker right? Ohhhh buddy, the angst opportunities. The character development. Just think: his friends having to fight him to fight Sigma/Meta, but even though they want it dead, they’re fighting tooth and nail not to hurt him. Wash having to see yet another friend be torn apart by AI and feeling like he can’t do anything about it. Tucker being coherent enough to realize what’s happening, but unable to stop the AI from doing it. The absolute mind fuckery/torture Tucker’s having to go through as Sigma fights for complete control.

I really, really hope they have a good fucking vision for this because it can be so cool.

Sort of suggestive Tucker/Wash fanart below the fold… heh.

I promised Tuckington, and l'm a man of my word, damn it! (First time drawing anything like this, have mercy)

Nothing explicit explicit, tumblr made me crop >:/

So mad I can’t post the full image- tried, but it got flagged… I was so proud of this one dang it

(feel free to message me if you want to see it I guess? Idk lol. Maybe I’ll make the next post the full sketch but mark it as mature and it will be okay??)

(Next post will be more wholesome again Imao)

HELLO EVERYONE TIME FOR A SILLY RVB HEADCANON

North used to cook pancakes for all the Freelancers when he could occasionally get his hands on the ingredients. It was never easy to get the stuff he needed or to make them on the Mother of Invention, but he didn’t mind because everyone (even South and Carolina) always lit up when he made the pancakes for them, and it was one of the only periodic/consistent bright points in their lives, as small and insignificant as it might have seemed on the surface. pancakes are still Wash and Carolina’s favorite food to this day but it’s not something they really talk about due to the emotions connected with the memory.

(More below the fold)

____________________________________________

Bonus:

Wash naturally wakes up earlier than the reds and blues, so he tried to remember how North used to do it so he could make them pancakes one morning, but he completely botched it. Embarrassed, he disposed of the remains of the scorched confections before the reds and blues woke up so they wouldn’t know about it and acted like nothing happened, but he stayed up all of that next night trying to get the recipe right. When the soldiers woke up that morning it was to the delicious scent of pancakes, which a very tired but happy Washington was just finishing preparing for them. Even though there weren’t perfect and were shaped a little lopsided, everyone loved them and ate together, having a great time and very appreciative of the surprising gesture.

It was a very bittersweet moment for Wash, and though he didn’t let the others see, he teared up from the memories of his old friends/family enjoying the same treat back on the Mother of Invention. It was happy crying too, though, because he knew that North would have been proud of him.

Carolina is the only one who understands the real meaning behind the gesture, and even her prickly demeanor softens at the memories that morning, as in that bittersweet moment she chooses to sit back and remember the good things, like York always sneaking her an extra pancake and the freelancers actually feeling like real people for once instead of just weapons. She doesn’t say anything, but nods to Wash to tell him that he did a good job, and the entire group enjoys the loveliest Saturday morning that they’ve had in a while.

(Bonus bonus…… after that, Wash discovers that he actually really likes cooking because it makes him feel good to make people he loves happy. He is god awful at it, though, and asks Grif to teach him in secret, then after weeks and weeks of lessons, cooks Tucker a genuine meal and he’s amazed and it’s amazing and wholesome af)

Cleaned up version of the Agent Georgia/Agent Utah sketch I did for Joltning

The earlier one was much messier since it was a sketch, but I wanted to clean it up because I loved the Tuckington thing that Jolt did for me 👍

(Might post the full one later but for now, here, have these two iconic freelancer gays lmao)

Don’t worry, this is simply a gift, we’ll be back to your regularly scheduled Tuckington BS soon ;)
