>Many identical twins have indistinguishable DNA. Maybe they could have different mutations maybe not. Plus the police would have had to somehow had the original DNA records to tell who is who. Dental records would probably be a better distinguisher.

We discovered my wife is an Identical Twin, and that her sister is a better 'match' for Mom than she is :)

Husband... Husband.

Willow never thought he'd have that word directed to himself, but now... They were his world...

He was a normal kid once, he mused, not that killing animals was normal, but did it matter at any point? He had grown up a terror, a terror who was constantly mistaken for his angel of a twin. He had't meant to kill his brother, that was a funny accident caused by being no contact with his only existing family for so long he didn't even know he was alive untill he had already strangled the guy for a fat paycheck. That guy... The brother who had pretended he didn't exist for fifteen years now... He didn't even recognise the face staring back at him, nor did he feel sad. But he did find out something intresting...

His perfect brother had gotten out of the foster system into a rich family, he was told that much, but he was never told he wasn't adopted, but married. Married to that family's daughter, and she looked so pregnant in the pictures in his wallet... Fuck. Okay, she didn't look all that happy, at all, but she'd surely notice her husband had left her while pregnant with their kid and would call the police, he needed more time to clean the scene... Thankfully he had murdered the guy on the wide backyard pool, so he could just... Hide him in the shed and take his place for a while...

He took his dead brother's clothes, styled his hair and held his breath. Thankfully they looked alike engouth for no one to notice... He hoped.

​

"... If you're going to yell at me some more--" The woman who was by the livingroom as he opened the door was crying, her ginger hair was chopped so unevenly it look like someone had cut it by tearing each individual strandand and most important of all, her blue eyes were cloudy, she couldn't see... She couldn't see... And they just had a fight... That almost had Willow cheering, it was way too much luck...

"... Look, i'm sorry i yelled at you earlier..." He started, doing his best to copy the sweet brother he remembered from his childhood, how did the perfect guy act, anyway? He took a gamble and reached for her, wiping the tears off of her shocked expression with his thumb delicately "Please forgive me... I'll try and be better, love, i promise..."

The poor rich missy broke down crying, and for a second he thought he had fucked it all up, but then she smiled, she smiled innocently like the pure, clueless little angel she was "... It's the first time you call me love, Sammy..."

Sammy? Of course his brother had changed names... He stammered "Y-Yeah um... I... I did promise i'll do better for you... Just trying to show i mean it."

"You have no clue how happy this makes me... Oh Samuel... I promise you can get that trip once the baby is born, okay? I-I'll find a maid, something, a-anything just... Don't leave me alone right now... I'm scared..."

Trip? That's why they were fighting? His brother, his "angel" of a brother wanted to leave his heavily pregnant, blind wife home to go on a trip while she was clearly about to give birth? That was unimaginable... He reached down and carefully placed a hand on her very pregnant belly, leaving a gentle pet there "... Forget that stupid trip, love, it wasn't that important anyway and i don't want to go anymore... Let's get you to bed, okay? You've already stressed engouth for the rest of your pregnancy..."

​

He cooed, leading that frail woman upstairs, she went on her own the rest of the way and he just followed along, their room was the first door in the hallway, just across from a door with a name etched on it in 3D letters, "Edward", he made sure to remember, baby is a boy and his name is Edward, ugh. He made sure that poor woman was safe in bed, warm, comfortable and sleeping soundly before he started exploring and reading every paper in that damned house, gathering all the information he possibly could. His wife's name was Helen, and she really liked books, since most of the books in the house were adapted to braile. He also learned their baby was meant to be born in two weeks or so and panicked, checking the nursery just to be sure they had everything... They didn't.

The next few hours were spent brousing the internet franatically for the best newborn care products and buying a truckload of things for the little boy while he grumbled about what a bad father that stupid brother of his was, then getting off the internet in the early hours in the morning, only to go right back to it just to look up what the hell was a proper breakfast for a pregnant woman.

​

"... You're... Cooking?" The sweet voice was more confused then anything as Helen rubbed the sleep out of her foggy eyes "... You never cooked for me before..."

"Well, that's because i'm shit at it" He chuckled, that wasn't a complete lie, and that little lady was just so endearing... "But i thought you'd want to sleep in, and i could bring you breakfast in bed? So you don't have to come downstairs, but you're already here..."

​

That woman knew, she knew the man standing in the kitchen wasn't her husband, but at that moment she decided... Maybe calling the police wasn't the best idea after all... She could pretend to be clueless, since he seemed so determined to act like her husband, and just... See where this would lead? He was already a better husband than Jasper had ever been to her... So why couldn't she pretend that was her husband, too? He didn't know, but he had just saved her miserable marriage, and she? She had just made the best decision of her life.

That's what happened to Senator Armstrong and Eren Jaeger, neither are even really as wrong as the story is trying to make them, so the respective authors gave a 'kick the dog' moment to both (Armstrong in a literal sense, Eren in a metaphorical sense)

-“Where are the heroes?” One of the villains in meeting room asks. “well Sherlock if we knew then this meeting wouldn’t make any sense. Right?” another one answers

The atmosphere in the room was tense nobody had an idea what heroes were doing in time of crisis, but one thing was certain.

-”If those guys don’t take actions we will have to do it ourselves any objections?”

Room became silent, for a little while, all villains in Everwall decided that heroes are usless in time of need, so after thinking,for a while, everyone agreed to protect city in the face of the new danger. Everwall was not a small town, it had around two milion civilians inside it’s walls, so every villain had to protect the city with all their might. Not every villain was willing to take out aces out of their sleeves.

The most powerful person in the room spoke as she saw that -”I hope that everyone have some plans, but I need you all to understand our situation. Everyone is in danger even us, so BRING OUT YOUR MOST TRESURED TOYS am I clear?” after I said that greed in eyes of quite a lot of individuals declined, fear appered instead.

-”Cmon don’t scare the new guys valkyrie. You know if that was not said we could reduce number of competition in our little town” Said some girl while toying with some kind of artifact with snakes on it.

-”shut it Loki you can have some fun with our enemies. Well if you want to play that badly we can play together however I can’t promise to leave you in one piece how about 1001 pieces sounds to you?” -”Alright sorry, also what’s your plan?

I looked at her with pity and didn’t answer. Why would I allow her to meddle with my side of city. -”I will go to the south, and you to the north if I find out that you made disorder in any I mean, any other side my promise to you will be fulfilled after battle” ‘It’s quite funny to squabble with her. Can’t deny it.’

-”Everyone out and protect the city. Some casualties are allowed. Not too many I look at you Loki. As I said earlier south is mine, Loki take north, everyone expect our commanders will defend east and west. Wish you all a good luck, and have fun.” ‘Hmm we will have to smash some heroes heads after the defence game’

My third time writing something as usuall some constructive criticism is appreciated. -Laverniones checks out <3

To an extent, I agree. That's why I choose to sort by new, and only bother with prompts that I feel like. Most of my stories don't get seen, and that's ok because that's not why I'm doing this.

Edit: I think my biggest complaint sorting by new is with the innumerable repeats/reposts of the same few prompts. So it's not a silver bullet solution, obviously.
