(Temp π)
I'm Abyss and welcome to π€π brainrot central. This is an 18+ account.
You can also find me at the following but please know itβs mostly reposts ;o; (I also have discord for mutuals as well.)
Imagine if Screwllum publishes a paper about the DU and the dedication reads βTo my partner, Dr. Veritas Ratioβ.
Think of the gossip, the phone calls.
Meanwhile maybe Veritas is knee deep in an experiment so he has NO idea whatβs going on.
Fengheng canonverse au thatβs just Dan Heng and the smol injured dragon he found on the Luofu right before they left that followed him on board.
No one making any comment expect for cooing at how cute they look. Multiple people just smiling and trying to not give it away.
Slight divergent universe spoilers!!
The fact that Screwllum calls him partner and not colleague. PARTNER.
PARTNER.
I canβt believe Screwtio got married off screen. π
Screwtio soulmate au where Veritas assumes he has no mark. He finds himself longing for one, just to see who the universe thinks would be his match.
Not knowing that the collection of freckles and moles that dot his inner right arm are the native language of Planet Screwllum.
Thinking about Screwllum playing otome games to understand human courtship better. (Veritas isnβt reacting to his current attempts at starting a relationship.)
Silver Wolf patting herself on the back for the best idea ever.
Herta, watching security footage after Mundane Troubles: I can't believe you let Ratio have reign of my spaceship
Screwllum: He did help.
Herta: Help, my foot! Look at him acting like...that...you disgust me.
Screwllum: He's quite...stunning, isn't he?
Herta: OFF MY SHIP
Look Iβm just very weak for Screwtio and Screwllum being very stupidly in love because heβs never really be in love and itβs all so new for him while Veritas is unused to such pure affection and they both are figuring out how to navigate their feelings and each other.
Okay bye.
So now that Screwtio is working together...does that mean Ratio will have someone to play chess with? Someone who can match his intellect and possibly challenge it? Someone who can keep him on his toes? π₯Ί
*slams hands on table*
DAMMIT I WANT POSSESSIVE SCREWLLUM. UNDERCOVER MISSION, RATIO IN REVEALING CLOTHING. EVERYONE'S LOOKING AT HIM. SCREWLLUM FINDING HE DOES NOT LIKE THAT. ALWAYS HAS HIS HANDS ON VERITAS. ON HIS THIGH, HIS ASS, HIS WAIST.
I should sleep.
Screwtio where Nous possesses Veritas to understand the concept of love.
βYou love the man I possess, yet you are like meβa machine.β
βI may be a machine, and my feelings may never be like that of organic being, but he tells me my love is genuine and thatβs all that matters.β
Screwtio //
Zandar: Screwllum, why is there a frankly large purchase on the Society account?
Screwllum: my apologies, I thought I changed the card when purchasing
Zandar: WHY ARE YOU SPENDING THIS MUCH MONEY
S: Veritas liked it. So I bought it.
Z: THE GUILD DOCTOR??!?!?
Screwllum: I am going to be researching humanity.
Herta: Cool.
Screwllum: I believe finding a partner would be helpful.
Herta: Gotcha.
Screwllum, holding Veritas's hand: So Veritas Ratio and I have begun a partnership.
Herta: Wait what?
Me: Screwtio cuteness π
Brain: Veritas will always reject Screwllumβs offer to collaborate. He cannot get attached, he canβt be blinded by the bright star. Even when he tries to give the star another name, heβs still a Genius. He will always reject Screwllum.
Me: I hate you
Screwtio //
Screwllum: I wish he smiled at me like he smiled at his codex.
Herta: pay up
Screwllum, dropping a couple thousand credits into the βScrewllum pines for Veritas jarβ: he is so cute when he smiles.
Herta, rattling jar: youβre funding my wardrobe so pine more
Fengheng where mid fuck DF loses control and half transforms into a dragon and just *fills* DH more than heβs ever filled before, hitting deep. DF doesnβt even realize heβs summoned the mark of the Arcanum on DHs stomach.
The next day there is news that a new egg has appeared.
(Screwtio) when in the comfort of his own home, Ratio tends to dress in traditional Greek scholar wear, often loose and hanging open. The first time Screwllum sees him, heβs speechless at howβ¦beautiful and calm Veritas looks. He doesnβt say anything or move, just watches him.
Screwtio //
RM, holding a very familiar looking critter: Screwllum, I have something for you.
Screwllum trying very hard to keep his voice even: thank you
RM: he has a bad habit of smacking people with his tail and also meowing constantly
Screwllum: heβs perfect
2.5 DU Spoilers / Screwtio
Ratio: Screwllum wonβt even read the paper word for word.
Meanwhile, Screwllum most certainly does read the paper, makes notes, and is in the middle of writing a response praising the work and how he wishes to pursue more work together with him.
soulmates screwtio...veritas trying to ignore it, trying to fight it...he doesn't want to be bonded to a Genius, doesn't want to be seen as the lesser intellect.
Meanwhile Screwllum thinks that its because of his inorganic nature that Veritas won't be with him.
How stressed do you think Screwllum got when he notices a grey hair among strands of purple? Do you think he panicked? Do you think he wanted to scream?
(It turns out in reality Veritas is prone to grey streaks due to a mix of genetics and stress.)
Screwtioπ
Screwllum undressing Ratio and then redressing him in his chest chain and thigh strapβ¦using those to control Veritas as he twists & cries in his grasp. Heβs mesmerized by the movements of Veritasβs chest and thighs and Veritas canβt call him out, lost in sensation.
Students purposefully saying incorrect answers so Veritas will cross his arms, therefore putting his tits on display.
Heβs completely unaware of it though.
Screwllum, handing Ratio a thick stack of paper: I have composed a document of reasons for why a relationship between us would be both fruitful in both our professional and personal Iives.
Ratio, thinking this is the most romantic thing: I will consider this and get back to you.
[Fengheng] Dan Feng has never seen Dan Hengβs tail. He knows others have but he hasnβt. And he doesnβt know why. Itβs not until heβs feigning sleep one night, frustrated, that he learns why. DH enters their room and he nearly gives himself away when he feels a tail on his. +
(screwtio) The first time Screwllum hears Veritas laugh, he stops everything he is doing to just listen to the sound. It's not the haughty chuckle or his cocky little cackle, but a soft airy sound that Screwllum could listen to for hours. (He saves the audio file.)
Screwtio where when people start to see Ratio and Screwllum together, they start to warn Screwllum about Veritas.
Screwllum just nods and thanks them before moving on.
Seeing as he and Veritas have been together for many years, he finds the man incredibly charming.
Please think about Screwtio with wings and Screwllum with delicate butterfly wings and owl winged Veritas behind him with a frankly massive wingspan intimidating anyone who tries to talk to Screwllum. When Screwllum turns to him in confusion, Veritas just tilts his head like ?.
Fengheng...DF getting his own body and going into heat/rut for the first time in several hundred years. His body/mind believe DH is his mate because of how long they've shared a soul...how long theyβve been connected.
Justβ
βRun, little one. Give me a good chase.β
(Screwtio)
Screwllum, seeing Veritas for the first time: I must know this man carnally.
Herta, clutching her pearl necklace: do you even know what that means?
Screwllum, never taking his eyes off Ratio: Definition: Carnally: relating to physicalβ
Herta: OKAY THAT IS ENOUGH.
Screwtio /
Screwllum finding out that Veritas has a new TA. (One that he did not ask for or want mind you.) When Screwllum visits the Guild and hears βOh, Dr. Ratio~β he decides to make his presence WELL known, going so far as to sit in Veritasβs lectures, right in the front.
Screwtio where after they get married, Veritas starts to wear a gear in his hair under his laurel and Screwllum adds a smaller version of Veritasβs laurel to his hat. They donβt wear rings, but to them, the accessories are enough.
Screwtio where Veritas receives a lot of gifts from potential suitors but he throws them out. All they show is that no one understands him. Itβs not until old, ancient texts begin to appear that he finds himself interested in the gifts. Every book contains a butterfly bookmarkβ¦
Screwtio where Veritas is an βofferingβ from the Guild to the Society as a sign of good faith but the Society is appalled they would just give away their best scholar. So Screwllum offers to house Veritas and sponsor his research, in exchange for simply answering his questions.
Fengheng //
Cae: yea so apparently the lil critters look for a maternal figure and I guess because of the color of DHβs clothes, they think heβs close to RM.
DF: theyβ¦think heβs their mother?
Cae: Yep!
DF: the archives are soundproof, right?
Cae: yea, why?
DF: no reason
Fengheng //
I feel like Vidyadhara have very extensive romantic traditions but as High Elder, DF never got to experience them, only watch.
So when he realized he can have these traditions with DH, he goes all out. DH is uncertain but goes along because of how happy DF looks.
Want Fengheng with DF who realizes that the depths and depravity of his love for DH will be what destroys him because he could never bring himself to harm DH by even letting DH know heβs in love with him.
Meanwhile DH craves DF to be closer but is afraid of rejection.
Screwtio //
Aventurine: Hey so if you're like married to Screwllum--
Veritas: We aren't married!
A: don't lie to me --- ANYWAYS does that mean you're a trophy wife? cause like you're just a guild member...he's a Genius with a capital G
V: I will end you
S: I am the wife :3
If Screwtio were working together do you think they ate their meals together? Do you think they started to talk about non-project topics? Do you think that when Ratio would get really tired, Screwllum would help him to bed? Do you think Screwllum watched him sleep, falling in lo-
(Screwtio)
Veritas pulling Screwllum towards him by his ascot, clearly annoyed at the Genius.
βListen to me, dammit!β
βI always listen to you, Doctor. You never not have my full attention.β
Veritas has to let go and turn away so Screwllum doesnβt see how red his face is.
(Headcanon)
Screwllita: did you know Screwllum used to be taller and broader but he found that people were intimidated by him so he made his current body shorter and leaner to see more friendly
Veritas: WHAT????
Screwtio π where they have the tendency to slip into academic talk while having sex. Veritas will be crying and moaning, clutching the bed for dear life, and the next minute later heβs jolting up, grabbing Screwllumβs shoulders and telling him he solved his equation, get a pen.
If DH wasnβt raised by or learned Vidyadhara, he more than likely wouldnβt know courting behavior. Fengheng where DF has been trying to court DH for a reasonable amount of time but DH just thinks heβs trying to be nice.
DF is determined and doesnβt realize DH doesnβt understand.
Veritas deciding that while Stephen is on Planet Screwllum, he will be his teacher. He patiently listens to all of Stephen's questions and takes notes when he talks about games. He's very attentive and they make cookies.
("He'd make a great mother."
"Stop talking, please."
So Ratio and Screwllum are about even height right...hahaha what if gold Screwllum was closer to seven feet...tipping Veritas's chin to get his attention...towering behind him...wider and longer fingers...
heh
(screwtio) when they start their relationship, Veritas has to change his wardrobe for a few weeks. Screwllum is not used to touching and holding, so he tends to forget just how strong he is and he ends up leaving bruises on Veritas's skin.
Screwllum, removing his jacket and rolling up his shirt sleeves to work on a part:
Ratio: thatβs so hot
Herta, the innocent bystander: OUT OF MY OFFICE
Ratio: he could snap me inβ
Screwllum: Veritas, we are in public.
Ratio: and?
Screwtio ππ// Screwllum having audio feeds to all of Veritasβs rooms because he worries and definitely not so he can hear the moment Veritas gives in to his passions.
(Veritas knowing this and making sure he times his sessions with Screwllumβs important meetings.)
(screwtio)
There's a group chat in the Guild known as 'Veritas's Duckies' and it's just a massive fanclub. The president though...no one knows who they are. Their icon is just a butterfly. They know WAY too much info about Veritas and somehow has pics.
there's just something about screwtio and possessive!screwllum to me that is just...AH. like screwllum slowly but surely monopolizing veritas's time. he becomes his sponsor, funds the mundanites. he becomes his editor and research partner. provides him a home and resources. +
(screwtio) veritas buying lingerie with screwllum's credit card so screwllum gets the pings of which store he's shopping at but never shows what he buys so screwllum is just sitting there, imagination running
(screwllum finds all the bags later and finds out he was VERY wrong)
Fengheng where π purposefully buys π clothing thatβs a little too tight so itβll cling to π. He knows that many heads turn when his boy walks by and smirks knowing that they can think all the dirty thoughts they want, itβs he who Dan Heng goes home with.
(Screwtio) Screwllum refuses to let Veritas see him even the slightest bit out of order. No messy clothing, dents or scratches. Everything must be perfect. He does not want Veritas to worry about him. Even when heβs been overclocking for days, Veritas must never see him like that
Screwtio where Screwllum and Veritas get hit with a truth curio and it's a mess.
S: I want him to crush me with his thighs
Herta: PLEASE STOP TALKING
V, crying: I love him so much
Aven, recording: tell me more
Screwllum, laying his head on Veritasβs chest: world cruel, Veritas titty soft
Ratio, lifting his codex high above Screwllumβs head, eye twitching: and those shall be your final words
(It was a slight hardware error. Screwllum locks himself in his office mortified.)
thinking about screwtio and how a lot of people will say it's hard to tell the emotion/meaning being screwllum's tone when he speaks, but veritas is able to tell every single tone apart. so when he comments "oh he's pretty happy about that actually" everyone is confused.
Still thinking about Fengheng with sacrificial bride!DHβ¦DF willing to do whatever to keep DH within his sight, going so far as to have DH sit in his lap and read during meetings. DF with a possessive hand curled over DHβs thigh and a visible mate mark on DHβs neck.
Screwtio with owl Veritas and Screwllum who only knows how to care for butterflies starts to take care of this very big and very smart owl. Meanwhile, he is also concerned that Dr Ratio has gone missing and starts to talk to the owl about how he wishes they could have talked.
Screwtio //
Herta telling Veritas that technically if he enters a long relationship with Screwllum, it makes him an honorary member of the Genius Society.
Screwllum arriving on the Station a day later with a written breakup and a hard drive.
The SU is offline for a week.
Screwtio // Screwllum makes a tiny bird like his SU avatar and gifts it to Veritas. It takes notes, records him, gives him self care reminders like water and food. Veritas begrudgingly takes it but secretly loves it.
He takes the utmost care of it and brings the bird everywhere.
Screwtio where Screwllum gives Ratio a signet ring with the symbol of Planet Screwllum to show their union and Veritas wears it proudly next to his Guild ring. It becomes the talk of the Guild, and the galaxy.
Screwtioturineπ
Screwllum walking in on Aventurine edging Ratio. Veritas is oh so pretty in lace and tears, pupils blown wide. He can barely speak, just broken little moans. Aven is wreck too, rhythm lost long ago he just ruts into Veritas.
Both waiting for his order to come.
Not to be cringe but screwtio where Screwllum asks earlier on in their relationship if he can be the one to put Veritasβs laurel in. Veritas agrees but in return he gets to put on Screwllumβs hat. It becomes a ritual for them. The putting on of their respective alliances. +
The other side of this is screwtio where Nous possesses Screwllum and---
"You have strayed him from the path I put him on. What if I wiped him of all knowledge of you?"
"Then you would be ending perhaps his most important experiment."
Screwtio where Nous possesses Veritas to understand the concept of love.
βYou love the man I possess, yet you are like meβa machine.β
βI may be a machine, and my feelings may never be like that of organic being, but he tells me my love is genuine and thatβs all that matters.β
every day i think about screwtio w/ machine emperor screwllum and guild sacrifice veritas where screwllum found himself fascinated with veritas since the moment he saw him and when the guild offers up their prized intellect he's insulted and oh so thrilled that veritas is his...
screwtio / people start coming up to ratio in hopes of getting into screwllum's (and thus the society's) good graces despite the fact that veritas is still LOUD about his dislike of the society
so he makes them do things for the Guild and then gives them nothing but a lecture.
screwtio where slowly but surely, screwllum replaces all of ratio's gold accessories with recasts from his old body. veritas won't accept any sort of crown or regalia, so screwllum makes due with what he has. his laurel is crafted from the metal that contained screwllum's core.
thinking about screwtio and veritas angst where it begins to cause veritas extreme mental duress that he wasn't chosen by nous, that he wasn't and isn't good enough for nous
and what if screwllum has an open channel of communication with nous because of his makeup.
π§΅
Screwtio // Veritas being very reverent of Screwllumβs title as Monarch and Screwllum like βI need a momentβ.
The first time Veritas calls Screwllum βmy kingβ, Screwllum sits there stunned for at least an hour. Veritas just sits on his lap very smug.
(Screwtio) what if the stress and events of what happened on Penacony pushed Veritas to seek out Screwllum. That one glimmering moment where they worked together made him realize he wants that and more with Screwllum. Titles still matter, but heβs willing to put them aside.
The whole tyranny line and how DF behavedβ¦Fengheng sacrificial bride DH. DF in his own body taking his place back as High Elder and throwing the Luofu into turmoil because thereβs only one thing he wants.
And that is DH.
Heβs willing to burn everything down for him.
(screwtio) still thinking about veritas manhandling screwllum. just lifts him when he needs to, throwing him over his shoulder when screwllum won't stop working, pulls him by the corset edges or his thigh strap...pulls him forward for a kiss by the ascot...
Screwtio //
Veritas browsing through Screwllum's library and finding an entire bookcase that is dedicated to Veritas's biographies. Every edition, every revised edition. There are signed copies, there are ARCs.
(Veritas tries not to think about the fact he has the same thing.)
Veritas accidentally ending up with a degree in Entomology because it's one of Screwllum's interests. He ends up solving multiple environmental crises, brings no less than a dozen species back from near extinction, and discovers three new species of insects.
Screwtio /
Veritas effortlessly able to pick up and carry Screwllum. Screwllumβs body is made of lightweight metal but he still weighs a lot as his hardware and body require it. The first time Veritas lifts him to move him Screwllum nearly blue screens.
thinking about screwtio and i wonder how they work on research together...is it calm and collected or are voices raised and chairs pushed back in anger? do they constantly correct the other, making drafts in red pen or do they jointly edit on one screen...makes me wonder...
I need Screwtio having secret rendezvous on various planets and one notable time, someone from the Guild needs Ratio and has to find his hotel and Veritas is NOT happy to be disturbed.
However he fails to realize he grabbed Screwllumβs coat and not a robe to answer the door.
(screwtio) Screwllum thinking that he truly is not a jealous person until he sees someone else's name with Ratio's on a paper. He immediately stops what he's doing, opens his list of research topics, and calls Veritas to tell him that they should work together again for a paper.
Screwtio unable to have public dates because the MOMENT Veritas hears the whisper of something unintelligent, heβs out of his seat and lecturing some poor soul who just wanted a coffee.
Fengheng //
DF seeing DH with long hair for the first time and being so in awe and shook that he just stands there, mouth open, and stares at the other man. DH just blushes bright red and asks if he looks okay.
i think about screwllum fucking veritas with wires on the daily
just leaving him suspended in the air, the wires curling over his skin, seeking warmth that they cannot feel. at some point, they develop their own program, acting out of screwllum's whim to bring veritas pleasure
Screwtio returning to Planet Screwllum from HSS to see a giant sign that says βCONGRATS ON THE MARRIAGE WHEN CAN WE SEE MEET YOUR WIFEβ with a smug Screwllita standing under it and Veritas like βIβm returning to the Guild.β Screwllum just holds his hand and greets his people.
Screwtio where they take Stephen on a day trip to Penacony so he can play with the Dream Tickers and Hanuβs Adventures. Stephen is having the time of his life while Veritas is stressed because people keep commenting how wonderful parents they are.
Screwllum finding photos of younger Veritas who went through a lot of fashion phases and just looks at him like βQuestion: what would it take for you to wear fishnets again?β
And Veritas just turns and walks away.
(Screwllum saves copies to his phone before they are deleted.)
Sometimes I think about Prep!Screwllum and Goth!Ratio Screwtio college au where they met and dated briefly and then donβt meet again for like a decade and Veritas is fully into his Greek Scholar Aesthetic and Screwllum went full Gentleman and neither of them recognize the other.
Silver Wolf upset Screwllum wonβt fight her hacker style so she decides to find out why. Drags the entire Hunter team to his Planet and is surprised when the front door opens to Veritas Ratio.
βDudeβ¦you got an irl bf. Like a real live one. Wtf.β
β>.oβ
βUr a grown ass man wtfβ
Veritas having to explain to the Guild that he is in fact dating a society member and the Guild like βplease invite all of them to lectureβ and Veritas like βjust cause Iβm dating him doesnβt mean Iβve changed my stance on the Societyβ. The Guild keeps trying to bribe him.
Fengheng with CEO!DF and Idol!DH. Dan Hengβs manager knows to never schedule a meetup or concert right after DH returns home because the last time, they had to postpone a meetup because Dan Heng couldnβt talk due to his and Dan Fengβsβ¦reunionβ¦
Sunturine π / you know I bet Aventurine has to be super careful of Sundayβs wings when wrapping his legs around the manβs head.
βPlease crush me with your thighs.β
βBabe, I love you but if I hurt your wings Iβm going to feel REALLY guilty.β
ββ¦please?β
Thinking about Screwtio and Stephen accidentally spreading the rumor around that Screwllum has a wife. How? He accidentally saw Veritas with his hair down one morning while on video call with Screwllum.
(This is Veritas with long hair who keeps it pinned like this bust.)
|| clothes that make the man ||
β‘ Screwtio / Screwllum x Dr. Ratio
β‘ 4.8k~ || Mature
β‘ 5+1 Fic, Clothes, Humor and Slight Angst, Established Relationship
Fengheng where DH is helping M7 clear out her fabric stock on a slow day in space. DF walks into see if DH wants to get lunch on a nearby planet to find DH covered in red fabric with a piece of red sheer over his face.
DF just stands there, stunned.
(Bride DH agenda :3)
Screwtio where Screwllum gets affected by a curio that allows him to experience actual human emotion as opposed to coded emotion. Suddenly everything is amplified by hundreds and heβs nearly knocked over by just how deep his affection for Veritas is.
