#Light from Orion

[puppetmaster13u]

Prompt 218

“Moom, there’s yellow-eyed creeps fighting ninjas outside the window again!” 

Danny sighed, taking a deep breath- in for ten, out for eight- as he set the pot he was cleaning back in the sink. Dan- currently six- came running in from the living room of the apartment, where he was watching TV. Or he should have been if not for the bullshit outside. 

He sighed again, picking up baby Ellie- currently closer to two- out of her highchair (even if she could just float out) and let his oldest drag him to the window. Sure enough, another fight was happening, with no vigilante in sight stopping it. Look, he knew most people didn’t live here, but it was still rude. 

“Jordan, remember how I told you how violence isn’t always the answer?” Danny asked sweetly, Dan’s expression shifting to a wicked grin as he opened the window. “Feel free to practice tossing some fireballs while I clean up your sister, yeah?” 

Ah, the sweet sound of surprised cursing and startled ecto-signatures. Maybe they’d be polite enough to take their spar elsewhere.

Hey remember when i bound the first half of from the archives? well i've finally done the rest! and honestly i am so proud of it. i tried some new things with the binding, and i am almost completely happy with how it turned out! the only improvement for next time would probably be actually measuring things.

thank you @sixteenth-days for writing something so good i needed to physically bite it.

#ignore the mess in the pictures my desk is the one place in my room that has good lighting and the lamp doesn't like to stay up #it took some finagling #the hermit archives #bookbinding #fanbinding #from the archives #i also spent a lot of time figuring out that handwriting for pix only for it to end up just like mine but loopier #fun though! #it's really strange to look at the first and second parts side by side because the difference in quality is marked #mostly the fabric i was using for the cover was not good! and i should have just gotten some good cotton! #please admire how neat this lettering on the cover is. i am so proud of it #also i need to go back to the first one what with the pix thing in the end and maybe add a note of him donating it to joe. cause that's fun #and i already put the stamp in it #the watchers publishing doesn't mean anything just ''hehe spooky'' basically #plus i put orion publishing on eskew and i figured it would be cool to have something like that on all my books #forgive all this rambling it's like 10 pm

Prompt 291

You know what? I’m feelin’ a Prompt with the whole halfa family, all the clones and everything. 

See, Danny? He’s grown up, he’s moved out, started looking at colleges himself after spending a few years travelling and learning about himself without the threat of a ghost attack. 

He’s kept in touch with his friends, both living and dead, and ignores Vlad for the most part now that they’ve reached a truce of sorts, and honestly? He’s just living his life. 

But see, it’s kind of hard to figure out what college to pick, with his admittedly not-great choices. Look, he might have a new-ish ID but he’s still visibly not exactly human (though thankfully doesn’t have to worry about the GIW after a… summer activity that ended with several missing buildings) 

And most people he goes to? Finds him ‘too unsettling’ which excuse him?? How is he unsettling? He’s a twenty-five year old with six kids ranging from one to six! How is that “scary” huh? Ancients, and all this is making him use the cash he’s saved up over time. 

And then- as though all of this isn’t stressful enough and he’s not genuinely worried that he won’t have enough money to feed the kids if he goes to school- a hero nearly trips over Jordan and starts freaking out. He is so fucking done.

None of my silverfin folks are Good, per se- they kill and maim and indulge killing and hurting and a number of them eat that which remains, in the right context. But also they’re friends, u see, and they can be so kind in spite of that. Given the right circumstances.

#lays here and thinks about marrow holding dexter so close and hesitating to let anyone but peipre close #thinks about how peipre does her best to sit and comfort someone that’s too distressed in the area- a casino can be overwhelming after all. #thinks about how phenga holds peipre and yarrow in her arms like she can smooth away the harsh edges of the world. even for just a moment #phenga going to Orion as he gets off work. taking his arm in her own and guiding xem in the late hours of the morning to eat and then to a #room. he doesn’t know her name but that’s the game of it. but somewhere along the line it became more than just a game. she’s so so very in #love with that teal and anybody that sees them at dinner can see it #silverfin putting new rules into place the instant they hear about how marrow almost got killed. it takes a while to work out the kinks in #the new routine but they saw the lines under phenga’s eyes in the nights after and they saw how peipre’s hands shook and they may not be #able to do much but they have to do something to try and keep it from happening again. #yarrow pulling silverfin aside to tell them that she saw their descendant. that she didn’t meet him very well but he exists. that she met #his captain and he’s okay. that silverfin didn’t condemn some poor grub by being in love #peipre leaning to just rest her arm agains marrow’s when he starts getting a bit too tense. a small reminder that she’s here- that if #everything goes wrong he doesn’t have to take it on alone. and sometimes that light contact is enough. #peipre giving dexter a hug and squeezing him tight for a moment. because as much as she tries to prepare there are some things she’s not #sure quite how to say. and maybe if she tries hard enough she can show him anyhow. #yarrow pulling peipre away from work when things start to get to her too much. making her take a moment to just let herself breathe. often #yarrow matches her breathing until she’s calmed down because peipre pats more attention to someone else than herself in times like that #lays facedown on the floor thinking abt these bitches being nice #silverfin casino #peipre #peipre charme #gotta go add that to all her posts sometime #marrow dahlia #khalia yarrow #dibsym argent #silverfin #miss #phenga arionn #Orion pulsar

JACEN LYLE HART

The Avoidant Mess

"I understood myself only after I destroyed myself. And only in the process of fixing myself, did I know who I truly was." - Sade Andria Zabala

GENERAL INFORMATION

Name: Jacen Lyle Hart

Nicknames: Jace, Douchebag, New Kid, Flash Flood (Supervillain Name)

Faceclaim: Devon Bostick

Age: 24

Gender: Nonbinary Transmasc

Sexuality: Homosexual Homoromantic Polygamous

Height: 6′3″

Weight: 113lbs

Birthday: July 31st

Sign: Leo

Occupation: Unemployed; Supervillain; Guinea Pig for Tweek’s drug ring (Original Verse Only)

QUICK FACTS

Jace was tired of being used by Eric and refuses to ever be put in that position again. He helps who he wants to help, and will behave erratically and strangely otherwise to make people avoid him.

While it started as “If I’m weird and gross people will leave me alone”, but it turned into a compulsion to put things in his mouth that are not edible and often toxic or dangerous.

Instead of gum he sometimes chews on gum wrappers.

He has eaten Tide Pods exactly three times, the first time being something he did while high as a joke, the second time he was high and the Tide Pod had a Good Texture, the third time he was sober and just craved the texture.

While he hasn’t drank bleach, he has thought about it.

He will eat almost anything and do almost anything for money for his drugs. He has actively scraped gum off the sidewalk with his face and chewed it for five bucks once.

Despite doing drugs, drinking, and having risky sex to get people to avoid him, Jace still gets used by people. But he feels like he does it on his own terms so he doesn’t mind it.

Michael is someone that he looks up to, loves, and cares for. If Michael tells him not to do something, he’s most likely to listen.

His Michael has enacted a sort of Dental Preservation Ritual for Jace with Kaiwha, in which he inflicts dental trauma on others in order to take the injury/pain from Jace. He has a propensity for chewing on and eating things that will damage his teeth, but it’s almost impossible for him to stop.

When Jace’s parents split when he was ten, his mother had his last name changed from Rogers to her maiden name, Hart. She changed her name, as well, and they moved into a two-bedroom apartment together. His father forfeited his custody for paying child support. 

Jace had a crush on Jonah for a while, and continually fell for his cruel tricks. It took the one accident between them for Jace to finally fear him. Jonah lit an abandoned building on fire, only to find out that it was not abandoned, but had Jace and a cat he was nurturing inside. While Jonah saved Jace, he didn’t notice the cat, and Jace never forgave him. The salt in the wound was that Jonah proceeded to lie about whose fault the fire was, and blamed Jace for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He was born in Idaho, then moved to Kentucky, Montana, a super tiny town in Arizona, Nevada, and then stayed in South Park for the remainder of his life.

He did not speak at all for the first twelve years of his life. Now, he rambles a lot.

His first Dragonshout was perfect, though they varied in efficacy throughout his run as the Dragonborn. 

While he is embarrassed about it, now, Jace’s first crushes were Kenny, Chris Donnely, Scott Malkinson, Butters Stotch, Kevin Stoley, and Kevin McCormick. He would still be more than happy if they would give him the time of day.

He has a terrible oral fixation. 

For a lot of common things, he will use the wrong words. He thinks it’s funny and not malicious, though Pete would disagree. His favorite is calling energy drinks “inner gay” drinks.

He will do literally anything for money. He has gotten tazed twice in a row for $20 before.

Sometimes, he writes down his trips, and they are never worded very well.

Even if it makes no sense or has great leaps in logic, Jace almost always speaks his mind nowadays.

He is terrified of Robbie, but thinks Travis is the bee’s knees.

Currently, despite not really needing to, he is squatting in a house on the edge of town. Squatter’s rights say he has to live there for ten years before he can do anything about it, but he’s really only taking it day by day.

He adopted a mama cat and her two kittens into the house he’s staying in. The mother is Diana, and the babies are Susie-Q (long-haired female), and Boris (short-haired male).

Jace is very compulsive and impulsive, both. His impulse control is determined entirely by whoever is with him.

When he was younger, he wanted a pet rhinoceros. He never stopped wanting one, but he has adopted one on a sanctuary in Africa. He always gets super excited for them at the zoo, if he gets to go.

Sometimes when he’s high, he’ll hang out in Michael’s attic with his familiar, Ebon. He can’t really speak the snake’s language, but he does talk to him a lot.

To this day he remains friends with his versions of Butters and Clyde. He has offered friendships to the ones here.

While high, he once ate an entire roll of clear scotch tape, under the impression that it was a really bland Fruit By The Foot. Eric is the reason he believed that.

Jace has died twice. Once, he was brought back via necromancy, and the other time he had to use his Netherborn abilities. The first time was a drug overdose, and the second was trying to help Butters not get caught with a body. It lead to a painful, excruciating, violent death.

Jace has been accidentally electrocuted at a crosswalk. It was not Tweek’s doing.

Not only does he not have any self-preservation instincts, but he is also just very, very unlucky.

Jace has swallowed a lot of things that are inedible, but his favorites are bouncy balls, aquarium gravel, laundry detergent/fabric softener, entire wood pencils, and rubber dog toys.

Jace falls in lust very easily, but falls in love very, very slowly. He is 100% more likely to love someone if they have slept with him.

While he isn’t exactly a pacifist, Jace is most definitely a coward.

written in the stars.

pairing: theodore nott x reader. song inspiration: until i found you by stephen sanchez feat. em beihold. author's note: boyfriend theo is the best theo. if you're wondering, then yes writing this hurt me as much as it hurts reading it but like in the best way possible.

Theodore Nott has always had an affinity for the stars. 

When he was younger, Theo's mother used to take him to the rooftop of Nott Manor and point out the constellations to him. The stars told stories, his mum had said. Theo listened with rapt attention as she recounted the tales of Aquila, Heracles, and Orion as they glittered against the backdrop of the English countryside.

The two of them would make an entire evening out of it. Laying on his back atop a nest of blankets and pillows, little Theo watched as the stars climbed higher and higher, filling the horizon with hope and light. Stargazing had been their special secret. The one thing that wasn’t tainted by his abusive father. Theo guarded the memory of those nights in his heart like a priceless treasure.

After his mother’s passing, Theo continued their tradition of stargazing. Even if she was no longer alive, all he had to do was look up at the sky to feel her with him. For that reason, the stars were special to him and he’d never shared its meaning with anyone. 

Until tonight. 

“Watch your step, cara mia.” Theo said as he guided you by the small of your back. 

The dark cloth covering your eyes prohibited you from seeing, but you trusted your boyfriend to keep you from falling. Though you weren’t a fan of surprises, Theo was impossible to resist. All he had to do was flash those pretty watercolor eyes at you and you were an absolute goner. 

For you, Theo had always been the exception. 

He guided you up a staircase, keeping a firm grip on your waist as the two of you ascended. Wherever you were going, it was pretty high up. You smiled as Theo took hold of your waist, knowing that you weren't the biggest fan of heights. Sometimes it felt like he knew you better than you knew yourself. When you reached the top, Theo unfastened his tie from behind your head. 

“You can open your eyes now, sweetheart.” 

You blinked, letting your eyes adjust to the dark. The wind whistled through the stone arches of the Astronomy Tower, framing the starkissed night with its marble pillars. The soft glow of the moon illuminated the nest of blankets and pillows arranged in the middle of the wooden floor. 

“Did you do all of this for me, babe?” 

Theo smiled. “I thought you might like to go stargazing with me,” he said, his voice soft. “Do you like it, my love?” 

“I love it, Teddy.” You beamed, standing on your tiptoes to kiss his nose. “But not nearly as much as I love you.” 

Theo grinned before pulling you in for a proper kiss. His lips were soft against yours and he tasted like peppermint. Butterflies erupted in your stomach as your knees buckled slightly. Theo never failed to make you feel like a lovestruck school girl. It never stopped feeling like this despite how many times you kissed this boy.

As if reading your thoughts, Theo smiled against your lips. “Come on, Y/N. I want to show you my favorite constellations.” 

The two of you laid down beneath the stars, making yourself comfortable amidst the blankets and pillows. Wordlessly, Theo pulled you into his arms and you nestled into the crook of his neck, breathing in the familiar scent of sea salt spray and sun kissed skin. 

“Tell me the story of the stars, Teddy.” 

He smiled, brushing your hair back. “That one right there is Ursa Major. Otherwise known as the Big Dipper, but if you look at the entire constellation, it actually forms a bear.” 

“I remember learning about that when I was little,” you said, gazing up at the sky. “Didn’t it have something to do with Zeus?”

Theo nodded. “In Greek mythology, the Olympian God Zeus fell in love with Callisto and got her pregnant. After she gave birth to the child, Hera was so mad she turned Callisto into a bear.” 

“That hardly seems fair,” you responded with a frown. 

“Zeus was a bit of a wanker,” Theo said in agreement. “Hera was even worse. She cursed Callisto to wander the forest for years in bear form until she was hunted by her own son Arcas. Just as he raised his spear to strike her down, Zeus stepped in and sent them up to the heavens. Callisto as Ursa Major and Arcas as Bootes.” 

“The Greek gods were truly a piece of work,” you replied. “But at least we got those constellations out of them."

You squinted, pointing at the cluster of stars hovering in the east. “What’s that one?” 

“That’s the constellation of Leo,” explained Theo. “Named after the Nemean lion that Heracles defeated during the first of his twelve labours.” 

“Didn’t he make a cloak out of the lion’s pelt?” 

“Smart girl,” Theo said proudly. “The cloak made Heracles invincible and more fearsome than he already was. The Nemean lion’s heart is made up of the star Regulus, which is associated with the arrival of spring.” 

“The Little King. I read that it burns hotter than the sun.” 

Theo couldn’t help but smile. Before he met you, he never thought he’d find someone to share such a special and intimate thing with. He was worried that no one else would understand his love for the stars, but as he watched you peer curiously up at the sky, your nose scrunched in careful concentration, Theo felt all of his doubts fade away. 

“Regulus is unique because it can be seen in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.” 

The blue star glittered brightly above your heads, as if it was showing off for the occasion. “It’s beautiful,” you breathed. 

Theo stared at you, at the childlike wonder shimmering in your eyes, and he felt like the breath had been knocked out of his lungs. The gravity of what he felt for you hit him all at once. 

“Yeah,” Theo said softly, still looking at you. “Beautiful.” 

You grinned, intertwining your fingers and kissing his knuckles. “How do you know so much about the stars, Teddy?” 

“My mum taught me.” Theo answered, drawing circles on your hip. “When I was little, she used to take me to the rooftop of the manor and tell me the story behind each star. She was fascinated by them. Before she met my father, she wanted to teach astronomy at the Stati Magia.”

“The Italian School of Witchcraft?” 

Theo nodded. “My mother attended the Stati Magia, just like her mother and her mother before her. A tradition that I unintentionally broke, as nonna Lucia loves to remind me. Sometimes I think the old bat wishes that I was born a strega instead.” 

You giggled. “You would’ve been a very pretty witch.” Theo chuckled as you propped your head up in one hand. “Did your mum end up becoming a professor?”

“No,” Theo said sadly. “After I was born, my father said that her place was at the manor. He refused to move to Florence, even though he knew it was my mother’s dream.” 

You stroked his hair, nodding emphatically. Theo rarely talked about his mother. You knew that her passing was a painful subject for him, so you never pushed him to talk about it unless he wanted to.

“That’s awful. I’m so sorry, my love,” you said. “But at least she was able to pass down her love of the stars to you. In a way, she lived her dream by teaching you.” 

A soft smile tugged at your boyfriend’s lips. “I suppose she did.” 

You laid back down, but this time you cradled Theo against you. He rested his head against your chest, listening to the calming sound of your heartbeat. Talking about his mother will always be hard, but you helped ease the pain. 

“What about those stars?” You asked, pointing to the north. “What did your mother tell you about them?” 

“Perseus and Andromeda,” Theo answered. “Those are actually her favorites.”

“The chained maiden.” 

Theo stirred, inclining his gaze to the horizon. “Andromeda was the Princess of Aethiopia, the daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia. She was said to be very beautiful. Her mother bragged that Andromeda was fairer than the Nereids, which angered Poseidon. As punishment, the Sea God sent the creature Cetus to ravage that coast of their kingdom.” 

You nodded, recalling the story. “King Cepheus chained her to a rock and offered her as a sacrifice to appease the sea monster.” 

“Luckily for Andromeda, the hero Perseus found her before Cetus could attack again. Perseus fell in love with Andromeda and defeated the monster so he could free the princess. They ended up marrying and became king and queen of Mycenae. When they died, the goddess Athena placed them side by side in the heavens so that they would never be parted, not even by death.” 

“A love written in the stars,” you said with awe and wonder. “I can see why it’s your mother’s favorite.”

“When I was a boy, she told me that she hoped I’d experience a love like theirs, minus the sea monster of course.” You chuckled. Theo knit his brows together like he did when he was deep in thought. When he spoke again, his voice was barely audible. “It’s sad to think that she never found her Perseus.” 

You brushed his hair back, running your fingers through his curls gently. “She might not have found her Perseus, but she did have her Theo.”

Theo turned over and looked at you. The intensity in his gaze made you shiver. He was so ingrained in your heart that it felt inaccurate to continue calling it yours.

“After she died, I never thought I’d share her stories with anyone again, but I’m glad I shared them with you.” 

“Thank you for trusting me, Theo.” You said as you placed a kiss on his temple. “It means the world to me that you not only shared your mother’s stories, but her memory as well. I would’ve loved to meet her.”

The tender smile on Theo’s face was heartbreaking. Then softly, he whispered. “She would’ve loved you, Y/N.”

Your heart cracked open, his words spilling like sunlight over every crevice, warming you from the inside out.

Tears formed at the corners of your eyes, but you forced yourself to give Theo a watery smile. “Because I’m a nerd who memorized obscure mythological facts?”

Your boyfriend smiled. “No,” he said gently, caressing your cheek. “Because you made her wish come true. You are my love written in the stars, cara mia.” 

The moonlight kissed Theo’s tan skin, the silver beams caressing his face like a lover as if the moon and the stars craved to commit his beauty to memory as badly as you did. Gods, he was breathtaking. 

This was the Teddy you knew and loved. Your Teddy.

Those watercolor eyes shimmered with emotion. “Sometimes I think the gods made you just for me, like our souls are linked in a way that neither logic nor magic can explain. Whatever it is, I think I’ve loved you since before the heavens and the earth existed and I’m fairly certain that I’d still love you even after the last star falls out of the sky.”

“You’re the love of my life, Theodore Nott.” Tears streamed down your cheeks as this boy—this beautiful boy ensnared your mind, body, and soul. “I’d find you in any universe and in any galaxy. Maybe someday we’ll be immortalized in the stars too.” 

Theo held your face in his hands. His expression was open and vulnerable, like he wasn’t afraid to lay himself bare before you. As if it was the most natural thing in the world. 

“We’re two halves of a whole,” Theo said. “I loved you yesterday. I love you today and I’ll love you tomorrow. You’re it for me, Y/N. You and no one else.” 

“You and no one else, Teddy.” 

Under the constellations of the star crossed lovers, Theo kissed you so gently that it made your heart ache. As Andromeda and Perseus kept watch over the horizon, Theodore Nott knew one thing for certain.

Someday the stars would tell your story too.
