Summary
[90% of this was written something like eight years ago with minor updates literally made hours before posting, so if the writing style feels ever so slightly off, it is the time difference]
Unfortunately one side effect of the super saiyan form was static, Even more unfortunately for Goku super saiyan three was even worse for it.
Leading to Chi Chi, who was sick of it, Insisting that if he INSISTS on stating that way for periods of time, Leading to her being fed up enough with it all to try to get him to stay in one spot long enough to brush the static out, Because, If one more random household object leads to her getting zapped again she is going to loose her shit because yesterday she brushed up against something while putting dishes away leading to, Well, You can put two and two together about that mess, An mess the culprit of who has been filling the air with so much static to begin was tasked with cleaning up out of exasperation.
[Unfortunately not as complete as i would of ever liked it to be, But eight years of being stuck in w.i.p hell is five years too long, And after an rough polish, It is begrudgingly being posted]

Summary
A series of snippets, Written in no specific order.
Interpret them how you will, Order is intentionally left vague as it started as a mess of disjointed scenes, Adding more scenes was reliant on deciding which of my Merfolk AU's to attach this fic to so here it is on an as-is basis in all it's vague glory. (One day if i ever get around to posting the others i might do an extended AU specific version)Cumber, An ancient and disgruntled merfolk of dubious origins is stuck dealing with a lap full of stubborn and needy saiyan.
He wonders if ever humouring the surface dweller in the first place was a mistake, Though in the here and now it is endearing in it's own way.
Even if he feels the saiyan is a danger to himself he admits he does look awfully tempting when filled with his eggs.
--
The details of the OG draft were nebulous and flexible on purpose, Even if solely so i did not end up 404'ing my own train of thought thinking about the particulars. (and subsequently wither away from embarrassment)

Summary
This is for the Radship Week 2022 Day 6 Sci Fi prompt.
Its the SFW version because i was too embarassed to write the full on NSFW version.
Anyway this is based in a Space AU very different from my other one, Vegeta is a drifter from an age long past, A former saiyan who got caught up in some kind of mishap and wound up a very-much-not flesh and blood being but after puling himself back together clings to his old visage and identity like glue despite going off the grid completely afterwards, Cutting himself off from everyone he once knew and striking it out on his own.Raditz however is the kid of a mechanic and a butcher who lusted for adventure and put his skills and wanderlust to good use by digging up old tuffletech amongst other things -A scavenger- who makes his living primarily off the re-homing of lost tuffle tech and fixing up antiquated centuries old tech.
This covers portions of one morning and one evening in a day in the lives of this particular pair, A day where Vegeta's nature was put on display and Raditz is reminded that Vegeta -while he still looks the part- isn't actually a saiyan any more and it gave him ideas.
2024 Update: The missing smut. To some effect.

Summary
Started off as slice if life fluff and ended as an thinking introspective heavy piece on Bulma's part less than a full week into the situation.
Sheds light on a few of the other aspects of the AU, A few headcanons, But it i mostly Bulma thinking and dealing with thoughts about the situation.
Maybe it would be easier if she did not have a dead weight of a saiyan using her as a living pillow, lying awake at some ungodly hour of the morning and too tired to muster up the motivation to move anyway.
The tags and type of situation it is should offer enough insight into the topics that may be covered, it is not what i would call 'no rock left unturned' but it does cover things like loss, grief, dealing with someone eerily similar in ways but isn't that you know is going to become more of his own person over time and less and less the people that he is basically replacing and touching a little upon the consequences thereof.
If your feeling or are exceptionally touchy about such topics there will be no judgement for not reading this, or saving it for a day you feel less vulnerable. I cannot imagine it to be a the easy read at times for some.

Summary
One afternoon while deciding to help with the Son family farm, While ever grateful he isn't doing it alone as the presence of others helps keep him grounded more than the tedium...
This afternoon it didn't stop the two boys from getting distracted over their usual friendly competition -the goading was how Goten had roped Trunks into regularly helping in the first place- by one of then having unearthed a unusually long earth worm.
While it was mundane enough and a source of excitement for Goten...
Vegito finds himself a little less than enthused by the revelation that of all things a simple earthworm is something that makes his skin crawl.
[Written all in one go, Vaguely proof read. Writer can't vouch for quality due to being sick at the time of writing but its a complete self contained piece of an much larger setting. Honestly i debated using this scene at all due to the cliche 'Vegeta worm phobia' thing but this thing has been kicking around in my brain forever so i rolled with the notion of Vegito while not ending up with a full blown phobia is perhaps on some level deeply unsettled due to Vegeta's influence]

Summary
This is a very late prompt fill, Non-shippy but i can very much see this exchange happening in my Space AU so here it is.
It has a little extra context for parts of my Space AU sprinkled in but you dont need to be familiar with the AU to 'get it' other than the fact that this scene takes place on a space station, the rest explains itself pretty well i think.
An exchange between Turles and Raditz as Turles says he has something to show Raditz while they talk. A casual evening and as usual Raditz is thinking too much because this would probably be placed within the first few days of the trio's arrival so he is still very much settling into the whole 'your to stay there until further notice' thing.
Outside that its two sort-of-friends who have known each other for quite some time chatting while looking into the void of space and Turles attempting to distract Raditz from getting too swept up in his thoughts.

Radshipweek Day 4: Grabby Hands [an extra late Mer AU installment] by AShinyTurquoise
Fandoms: Dragon Ball
30 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
2 of the 3 late ship week prompts. Very late. This time an installment for that Mer AU.
This one is late because it wasn't as complete as i wanted it to be so i decided to bite the bullet, It was complete enough.
Was supposed to be a chilling out in warm water on a cold ass rainy day kind of fic with a side of smut and even more banter but it never worked out due to time. (and life. and getting distracted.)
Instead you have Raditz being clingy, Turles being a little shit, And Vegeta wishing they would just be blunt instead of being all sneakylike and surprising him while Vegeta is relaxing and making the most of no longer being on Turles ship; Especially on a dreary rainy day.

Summary
1 of 3 dreadfully late prompt fills (that i was hoping to have finished and posted by the end of december 2022 and look at that jan2023 is almost over! Eek!), This one is another day 7 prompt for the prompt 'Collar and Leash'
This was supposed to be an snippet of an larger piece, But things happened so it needed to be re-wrote.
Its more introspective because it's more angled towards Vegeta's perspective in this setting.
A slightly spicy exchange on the lead up to what would of been proper smut (if circumstances were better and i hadn't gotten sick of staring at it via the countless revisions) in a Vegeta-Sei AU where things went very differently, And Vegeta is still prince and he and Raditz ought to share a more 'professional' relationship (but things escalated anyway)
Featuring: Raditz in a collar with an attached chain, A little chain and hair tugging, A little bit of praise, With a side of both of him and Vegeta being insecure in very different ways and a side of Vegeta being unable to shut his thinking off.If your acquainted with how i write the narrative format for this one is more experimental, It will vary from the norm. [Note: Now the right version of the fic is uploaded]

An snippet of time in a AU in which Raditz doesnt fuck up, The saiyans are more switched on, And they managed to weasel out from under Frieza's nose. [Placeholder title] by AShinyTurquoise

Summary
One day Bulma teases Vegeta again and he has enough of her advances and storms off, Partially at her audacity, Partially because he doesn't want to be vulnerable and a heaped helping of wondering why she is bothering with him because he views himself as 'not worth it' among other things. Bulma mostly enjoys the banter but one day if she is taken up on her offer she wont say no.
Raditz appears to be dense as a rock and either doesn't get or pointedly talks around her advances.
But on this particular occasion Raditz talks and they bond over Vegeta, Raditz may or may not of been drinking and talked a little too readily while he is usually more reserved about some topics, But now that he has made the mistake of opening up Bulma isn't going to let it go.
Even if she has to drag the two around kicking and screaming and knock sense into them personally to get them to settle down and knock it into their skulls that while they don't need to become complacent they, That they don't need to be so hyper-vigilant either and can just relax and just...Learn that its okay to live, A fresh start.
If one -or both- of then would actually bone her though? That would simply be a bonus.

Summary
This is for Radship Week day 7 for the prompt 'Earth Fashion' but its less fashion and more earth clothes in general.
It is time for an Family outing and Raditz has been brushing off Chi Chi's attempts to get him choose something presentable, So she makes the choice for him.
Piccolo is watching amused from the sidelines and Gohan doesn't see the appeal of his mother and his uncle arguing.

Summary
This is for the Radship Week 2022 day 5 prompt 'Flustered' (could potentially also tie into the Day 4 ficlet if you want, Though it fits better into a AU w.i.p i have yet to polish up and post after finishing it up)
Vegeta didn't know what to expect this morning, But nothing prepared him for walking in on a perfectly mundane scene where Raditz had cooked food and seeing the other at the table wearing socks that were way longer than he expected that were quite well fitted.
Raditz was reminded of Bulma's words regarding his nonchalance about them, To him they were just comfy and more practical than the more common earth socks. He then proceeds to embarrass Vegeta at the breakfast table while fully intending to make it up to him later.
Tentatively labelled T instead of M, There isn't anything not added that made me consider otherwise unlike an earlier prompt fill. It might toe the line depending on individual preferences but outside the vague 'make it up to him later' that could mean literally anything, I believe slapping an M rating on it would be a little overkill.

Summary
Again i am at it with a theoretically nsfw flavoured prompt that has a SFW spin if a little suggestive, For day four of Radship Week with the prompt 'grabby hands'
While sleeping on a couch Raditz is unexpectedly jolted awake by Bulma cheekily pawing at his chest.
A little bit of conversation occours.
But its mostly just sleepy nap time on the family couch after a long eventful day.Series

Summary
This one is written for day three of Radship Week! Even though 'first time' was intended to be a NSFW prompt my brain immediately went to an AU i haven't gotten around to typing much of, And quite predictably for me, Its not NSFW.
Its a kitchen scene where Raditz -who has never baked a thing in his life before- decides to take a stab at it and gets a little defensive about it, And Princess Snake is telling him not to take it to heart if it doesnt turn out as good as he is used to from somebody who has made that very thing quite a few times before.
This is based in an very non-canon AU. Sort of modern but with many typical DB spin's inspired by the setting itself just adapted to a more 'modern like' setting.

Summary
This is written for Radship week 2022! For day 1 with a Pirate + Consentacles combo, Technically also fulfils the criteria for mythical creature as well given the whole mermaid/mer-creature thing.
During a routine visit both as per their usual with a slice of business as usual Vegeta expects proceedings to kick off the same as usual, Unfortunately for Vegeta, This does not happen. Turles picked up a friend on his last trip out at sea and his crew thought it would be funny to not tell Vegeta about it.
Fortunately however, It goes over well -if awkwardly- despite getting off on the wrong foot, With plenty of complaining because Vegeta is stubborn just like how Raditz is ever so curious about the surface dwellers he meets (especially those that his friend is close to), And like how Turles is an insufferable tease.
[This also was supposed to have bonus smut but life got in the way, It may come later down the road as i became more attached to this AU than i was expecting. It may also be a but rough around the edges in its current state but even if it doesn't hold a candle to what i have in my head its okay, If i trusted my ability in draw such i would of just drawn a comic instead]

Summary
One afternoon Vegeta and Turles wind up having a discussion over the topic of food.
It gets phisliophical.
Vegeta insists Turles may as well be committing cannibalism.Turles begs to differ.
Kitchen banter slice of life with a side of a moral ethics discussion revoIving around cannibalism and 'psuedo cannibalism' in a society where other beings regarded to be on the same level of sentience/intelligence/WhateverTheDefiningFactorsAre are common (especially given in this AU it's just the one planet, No space.).

Sometimes you find out your wife kills people to pay the bills and you roll with it. (And then proceed to wonder why you are not more disturbed by it than you are) by AShinyTurquoise

Summary
[This, While technically somewhat of a prequel to an tiny pile of w.i.p's that's concept has been kicking around forever, Stands just fine on it's own despite being set much earlier than any of them]
Bardock, Despite his mostly unflappable nature, Thought he was pretty normal , For a saiyan at least.
The fact that he had met Gine while she was clearing up the evidence of a murder is one thing, Self defense is excuseable after all.
What WASN'T understandable is the fact that he managed to not get scared off when he found out his wife also killed people for a living.
Sometimes he wonders if it is a bad thing he isnt more disturbed, He feels he ought to be.
But then again he has spent so much time loving either of the two infatuated with him that once it becomes clear the two know each other, When they both conspire against him and make it very clear they would be very willing to share , He has a hard time saying no.
The kids however? They manage to live surprisingly normal childhoods despite their parents being, Well...Them.

Summary
This started off as a sweet-ish yet fluffy with a dash of humour Crack Treated Seriously idea using a topic that came up in a conversation one day containing the two statements 'If Chi Chi complains about how much it costs to feed Goku, Senzu beans exist' and 'If Chi Chi lobbed a senzu bean at Goku and told him to deal with it while she was busy and was not going to drop what she was doing just to cook what would happen' and it went from there. It didn't twig me as unusual to hear at the time, But the conversation was memorable due to a few of the wise cracks that were made. That said i was too intoxicated at the time to really care as it was normal enough.
While not the intended direction i intended to write, It stood well enough for something that was written without actively thinking about it during a bout of writing for the sake of writing that i decided it might be good enough to post.
As a result of it veering a touch into kink territory, It isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea as an whole compared to the original intended take. Depending on the degree of your tolerance for such, Feel free to give the fic a skip.
Mostly domestic + slice of life with a unexpected slice of kink.

|UNTITLED| Domestic Space Station AU |...For The Most Part...| by AShinyTurquoise
Fandoms: Dragon Ball
29 Aug 2021
Tags
Summary
The AU of in which...
Bulma finds herself agreeing to accommodate some saiyans on board her space station if a certain diplomatic meeting goes awry and lo and behold it does.
After said diplomatic meeting goes awry Vegeta -after unceremoniously being shoved into a cryo pod by Raditz and Nappa to keep him out of further trouble- wakes up in a med bay in the middle of nowhere as far as the galaxy maps are concerned. He doesn't know what to think about that.
Nappa wonders how the fuck saiyans and humans even know each other.
Also the AU in which both Raditz and King Vegeta forget to tell either of the two other saiyan's about something that's actually kind of a big deal and due to a agreement between King Vegeta, Bardock's immediate family and a handful of others is kept undisclosed to the public. Thirty years later they overlook something important due to it being secret and are so used to keeping quiet about it and never mentioning it to those not in the know, It never occurred to them to actually bring it up.
Other than that? A mostly domestic AU that covers a wide cast of character's that's main area of focus is the denizens of [1] space station.

A portion of what was supposed to be a larger piece i never got back to writing. It was intended to be a silly comical little thing but i recall very little of it.
Jack makes use of his shape shifting powers to cause a little bit of mischief at the expense of Queen Lilith that, If i had writ that far, would of actually gone places.
