As of yesterday, the worst pain the prince had experienced was when he accidentally nicked his finger with his father’s sword three years ago.
Today, that has been replaced with the red-hot agony of a bear trap snapping shut on his leg.
It wasn’t meant to go like this. Get to the city borders and disappear into the wilderness—that was the plan. It’d seemed such a good plan too, from the comfort of his bedroom. Easy.
Yet here he is, thrown to the floor by merciless, metal teeth. It’s more blood than he’s ever seen in his life. He’s starting to feel faint, though whether that’s the sight of his own mangled leg or the pain jolting through him at the slightest move is unclear.
Darkness is throwing a blanket over the sky. Forcing the trap open has proven fruitless, dragging himself back to the road impossible. Every fibre of him, down to his very soul, is crying to rest, to ease the pain, to just have stayed in his ivory tower prison like he always had.
Something yellow—a light!—ripples through the trees. The prince thinks, for a rather depressing moment, that heaven might be approaching, and the warden has arrived to drag him into death. It would explain why he can’t feel his hands.
“Huh,” says the warden, “that ain’t an animal.”
The light is blinding now, the person behind it haloed invisibly in its spray. The prince can see them turn, kind of, to a figure next to them.
“Well, no.” A gruff laugh. “That’s very much a human person.”
The light lowers slightly, enough to get a glimpse at the people hiding in its shadow. Oh—not the warden. A common woman, in fact, her and an equally common man, staring down at him with varying amounts of surprise and annoyance.
“Hm,” the woman says again, thoughtful. “Looks expensive. D’ya think we’d get much for him?”
The prince’s stomach does some acrobatic somersault that almost makes him throw up. He tries to move, crawl away, anything, but the trap sinks its teeth into his flesh even more, like it's trying to stop him escaping. A cry falls from his mouth, some incoherent mix of terror and agony.
One of them says something, but he can’t hear it. He can’t hear anything; blood rushes in his ears—it’s a miracle he has any left to do such—his breathing hard and laced with irrepressible noises of his own suffering. 
Another laugh as the man steps forward and back into hearing range. “We should probably make sure he ain’t from one of those places that’ll lob our heads off for the crime of looking at ‘im first.”
“He looks like one of ‘em, don’t he?” The woman steps too close. The prince scrambles without thinking, and gets the treat of the teeth gnawing harder into his leg. “Let’s get ‘im home, at least. Get the trap, Skat, and I’ll get the bag ready for it.”
“Skat?” The name rolls off his tongue so easily. Both of the commoners stare at him like they’re startled he can speak at all. “You– you were in the royal guard. I recognise your name.”
The man’s stare has turned to a hard glare in an instant. “Where’d you get that from?”
The prince attempts a smile, but the burning pain ripping through him makes it difficult. “You were one of the top knights in your guild. I– I came down, sometimes, to watch you practise. My father adored you. I adored you.”
“You’re the boy prince?” It comes out almost immediately. A connection made. A recognition. The prince could laugh with relief if he weren’t already crying. He nods quickly. “Wh–What’re you doing out here?”
The woman snorts behind him. “Sounds like a fat sack of cash,” she mumbles.
The man ignores her. “Don’t answer that; it doesn’t matter. Let’s get you inside and cleaned up, huh?”
“Are you serious?” The woman scoffs as the man sets his gaze on the bear trap. “We’ve stumbled across our biggest catch yet, and we’re just throwing it away? We could be absolutely minted off him and you want me to just send him on his merry way?”
“Well, Gvette,” the man says flatly, “do you really think anyone’s gonna wanna buy something that looks like it’s been dragged through ten inches of mud?”
That gives her enough pause for Skat to don a smug grin and shoot a quick wink to the prince. “Open the trap, will ya?” he adds.
It isn’t gentle. The woman—Gvette, the prince assumes—rips the trap open and lets its barbed teeth tear through any part of his skin they haven’t already. Skat holds him, almost vice-like, as he squirms and cries against Gvette's heartless freeing of his leg. He can’t help but bury his face into the man’s shoulder when Gvette first wrenches it apart.
Skat grabs his hands to try and help up to his feet. The prince shivers at nothing. “Am—” His voice catches when he puts a little too much weight on his leg. “Am I dead?”
“Well, I ain’t one for talkin’ to spirits,” Skat says brightly, “so I’d assume not.”
“I can’t feel my hands.”
There’s a pause that’s a little too thick. “You’re cold, kiddo. You’ve been lying in an inch of wet mud.”
Gvette takes the prince’s arm, rather reluctantly, as Skat pulls a blanket from his bag. He swings it open and onto the prince’s shoulders in one easy move. “A’ight,” he says as he ushers Gvette away to retake his spot at this side. “Let’s get you warmed up and into some new clothes, maybe.”
So we can get you home hangs unsaid in the air. That, or so we can see how much people are willing to pay for you.
Neither of those are an option.
They might want his leg healed before they try anything. That would give him time, and it’d certainly give him a means of escape.
The prince clings to the old knight, with no other choice, and prays that the man’s warmth to him is true.

#i should've just bailed and written another story when i had the chance#i'm not joking i've never fought a fiction piece this hard before. usually because i'm not writing for specific deadlines#and not a piece so big. and not one that's gonna be workshopped. i wanna blow them away but if things keep going the way they are everyone'#gonna tell me the pacing sucks and it feels pointless and the characters feel really confused. I KNOW. I KNOW THAT. FUCKK#i'm the type to do about 15 passes before i let someone see my 'first draft' and i'm just not gonna be able to do that if i want to get it#in time for a workshop. every day i delay is making things harder for my classmates y'know?? but i've been writing like 1k words a day#and it's still not done. GUHH#I DON'T LIKE WRITING THESE CHARACTERS THAT MUCH THEY'RE NOT FUNNY OR ENDEARING AND THAT'S MY LIKE.#MAIN SKILL AND VIBE WITH SHORT STORY DUOS. BUT NOOOO I HAD TO MAKE THEM DIFFERENT CUZ I WAS SICK OF DOING#THE SAME DYNAMIC OVER AND OVER. BITCH THIS IS YOUR FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRIED AND TRUE GETS THE BLUE (RIBBON)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head#going to work on it some more. fuckk#the voices aren't consistent and i'm trying to make it clear that this is toxic bird yuri and not a mother/daughter thing but the maternal#themes are kind of fucking with that but they're important and i don't wanna get rid of them but it feels forced cuz im forcing it#sigh. i'm gonna have to cut the yuri. these two don't work romantically at all. what a waste of time.#i watched the entirety of mnthly girls' nozaki-kun in the past two days while avoiding writing. did you know that? the lengths to which i'l#go? anyway it was fun i appreciate fellow creative agony and i uh never knew how they did screen tones and wasn't expecting that somehow#so i learned something new (hooray). anyway back to. fucking. bird story stuff#i'm so mad i hate these two (<- lying. just pissy) i hate this story (<- mostly exaggerating. throwing a tantrum)#eughhhhhh i just wanna lie on the floor and cryyyyyyyyyy (<- completely deadpan irl. not That upset just kind of sick of shit)#i'm so burnt out and it's only gonna get worse. ughh#why can't someone just come in and write it for meeeeeeeeeeheheuhhh (<- would hate that)

Just a little housekeeping that apparently needs to be done
Guys, it is absolutely ok to disagree with me. It's also ok to want to discuss the matter on which we disagree. But going off on a rant is unproductive, spreads unnecessary negativity, and is frankly a waste of everyone's precious energy. If you can't broach the topic in a respectful and open-minded way and engage in civil discussion, just keep scrolling. Move on and engage with the stuff that does resonate with you. It's not hard.
Also, try to keep comments related to the actual post, and don't bring all your conspiracy theories into the mix. I will not stand for it, especially when you're using it to try to discredit or demean someone. Genuine critiques and call outs based on tangible evidence are acceptable and open for civil discussion. Using a lack of agreeance with your conspiracy theory/general opinion to say someone is objectively wrong about something is not.
Please, for the love of all that's sacred, just be decent and respectful, people. I would really rather not have to, but I will block folks who are not respecting these simple asks. It all depends on you. I hate that any of this needs to be said. Please don't make me have to use my Parent Voice™️ like this. I don't care for it.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. May I never have to give it again. 🙏

TMI under the cut
On the one hand I want to get my IUD taken out because Im not sexually actively right now and really don’t see myself *becoming* sexually active anytime soon, (also Id like the random cramping to go away and see if some of the weight Ive gained is from the IUD, since Im now getting light periods again so I dont even have “no periods” anymore to keep as a reason to keep the iud) but also I live in Texas where they are constantly regulating women to second class citizenship and like keeping my IUD in is a “better safe than sorry” because I very simply do not trust my government to look out for my best interests which at this moment means staying not-pregnant for as long as possible.

Sirius is canonically tall, okay. And I love the hc that the Black Family in general is tall. And Regulus is a bit shorter than Sirius as described/observed. But I've written Regu as short/smaller in comparison to Sirius. So I was thinking, Regulus is like 6'0 or 5'11, tall, but shorter to the 6'3/6'4 I give Sirius. And yup. That's it. Bye.

i think rather fondly of how quick to (want to) punch & tackle satoshi is when people have the unfortune of being pathetic around him. for all the Been There Felt That, he gets so fucking annoyed by insecurity it's kind of funny

I'm wondering if maybe Roxy operates on the same principle of dogs that say you can't sit down without the dog being present at all times. Like does Cassie sit down literally anywhere and Roxy materialise next to her? It's not that she's desperate for attention or anything, it's just instinct to want sit next to those she cares about or something, ya know? Like if she really wants attention too, she'll do something to get it as well, but what if she operates on the Rule of Dog that dictates you can't relax or take a breather without Dog also being there?
