Forever thinking about an angsty post-TKK3 AU where Johnny does some traveling as he tries to figure out his life, and he runs into Kreese in some faraway corner of the world.
And Kreese is now involved in an underground shootfighting ring and he draws Johnny into a world of blood and pain and it's all downhill from there for poor Johnny.
And they eventually get back to the Valley and Daniel and Johnny run into each other again (and maybe they already have romantic history, kinda like in one of the Lawrusso ficlets I wrote?), and Daniel can immediately tell Johnny's not doing okay, and he's like "what the hell happened to you, man???", but he can't get through to Johnny at all.
And when Daniel finds out about the shootfighting he does everything he can to drag Johnny out of that world and away from Kreese.

Ship bingo! I couldn't find any that fit my preferences so I made my own. Feel free to reblog/repost!
I still can't believe this was an 18 year old, legal adult. What the fuck, Ralphie. What the fuck. He doesn't look a day older than 12.
Also: he's the definition of painfully adorable here. He's so cute it hurts.
Yeah, the most I would give him is a very, very young fourteen. Because I remember a boy like that in middle school. But Ralphie went through his final growth spurt at 29. I mean what. In their wedding pictures his wife looks like a cradle robber.
I feel like no one else could have given us Teddy Cuba, at least not someone who didn't have to be traumatised to understand the experience. Ralph wasn't wise beyond his years, didn't have to grow up too fast, but he really looks it if you have a twelve year old body and a young adult's experience, or look 17 at 25. I still feel his blood should be studied for some kind of rare genetic anti aging abilities.
And he's cuuuuuute!
Chapters: 6/? Fandom: Cobra Kai (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Axel Kovacevic/Samantha LaRusso Characters: Robby Keene, Julie Pierce, Axel Kovacevic Additional Tags: Character Study, Post canon, Robby Keene deserved better, also why didn’t they introduce Axel two seasons ago, I am not overall a fan of the Cobra Kai mindset, This is going to be Miyagi-Do heavy in that sense, If the ending of season six made you very happy this is probably not the fic for you, Pining, Canon typical pining for one tall croatian Summary:
After the Sekai Taikai, Axel intends to disappear. Or, well, no, not immediately afterwards, because he’s got some unfinished business left to deal with. However, he makes damn sure he’s out of his hotel room and not anywhere near it just in case Wolf or Silver or Zara or whoever comes looking, because he’s not interested in fighting with them over what happened on the mat.
Broadly speaking, Axel thinks he’s lost his appetite for fighting, period.
How I feel drawing these guys by myself 😞
They're all his, and they grow up so fast: he needs to be there. He kisses Robby hello, sat at the kitchen table with his Mama and his youngest brother, all enraptured by a model plane. That is, until Anthony demands to be put on his shoulders, and he can give his mate only a smile and a shrug at that. Then, a hint of fear: "The girls?"
"Practicing for the talent show," Daniel says, smiling warmly.
"They're putting baby Luna in a talent show?"
Daniel blinks. "Now don't go giving Yasmin ideas. Baby simply loves the music," and well, Terry will give puppy some real music, sat on Daddy's lap while he plays the piano. It stings that his eldest girls no longer immediately storm down to greet him as soon as he comes in, now wrapped up in their own, fifth and sixth grader's concerns. How time flies. Eli and Gianni want his attention all the more, as someone needs to judge who can pitch a ball the farthest. He gives that job to Anthony, though, sat on his shoulders, because even though he's barely four, he's trying to wrangle that power into some advantage for himself over his elder brothers and that is hilarious. Before his youngest son can start a world war, though, the girls do come down, Anthony wants to go play with Sammy, Gianni has a fantastic throw when no one is looking, Eli accuses him of foul play, Robby wants a game of soccer, Yasmin asks for Luna's blankie and through all this, there is his Daniel, his unwitting siren, calming, laughing, soothing, teasing and hugging and he finally catches him alone for half a breath when Bobby and Susan come in, relieved from their duties by Dutch and Snake, and now ordered to watch Terry's litter instead. He corners Danny in the wine cellar and kisses him senseless.
"Hm," his omega says, cheeks soft against his chest. "Hi there."
"Jaysis, I've missed ye," he says, and kisses again, more gently this time. He strokes the hair away from his face, brushes the bitemark, and Daniel gives him a cheeky grin, biting his lower lip with his bunny teeth. "Thought I might have seen you this afternoon, Sir."
"Huge mess," he growls. "Couldn't get away."
Daniel kisses his hand and then pulls him back upstairs, "dinner's in the oven", but not before Terry hugs him from behind, only partly to give Susan, one of his people but still an Alpha not blood related to his mate, an unspoken warning. The other reason is that this is his Danny, right here for him to touch and love and cherish, until of course Daniel hears his baby puppy cry for him and Terry knows he will spend the rest of the night staring at omega and baby, a sight more beautiful than any Caravaggio. It's fine, because in the dead of night, those soft eyes will be fixed on him instead, moans deep and sweet, as he works them both to completion.
He can hardly wait.
Terrys arc is honestly so true. Money doesn’t make you happy. Karate and Daniel LaRusso does
funniest bit in Conclave by far is Cardinal Vincent Benítez, the only normal person in a 5 mile radius, getting up in a room full of Cardinals and going, "you are all petty, mean and a bit weird, and inshallah I shall not return here ever again" and 118 cardinals were like damn, he's right, we can't let him escape
I got inspired to draw some Cowboy LawRusso because of @johnnysredjacket and her posts about a cowboy AU I never knew I needed. (Here and here for the posts that got my hands itching)
