eliot spencer had one job- keep parker and hardison alive, even at the cost of his own life. when worst comes to worst, he would take every bullet, hours of torture, any amount of bad guys coming after him if it meant his partners would stay alive.

and if that meant drinking both cups to ensure hardison lives, so be it.

"no. absolutely not. we can get out of this. the team will find us." hardison argues, but eliot's made up his mind.

"i'm supposed to protect you, let me do this." eliot crosses his arms in front of his chest, the pale lighting of the warehouse reflecting on the fake gemstones. whoever was doing this had a sense of humor. two goblets, identical down to the 'made in china' stamp on the bottom. wine was poured to the same level, and there were no discernible differences that eliot could tell. it was like one of those fucked up morality tests in those movies that hardison loves so much.

"no. no. i won't let you. el, we can make it out of this alive, both of us." tears pool in his eyes and spill down his cheeks. "please don't do this."

eliot wants to believe him, he wants to be optimistic, but more than that, he wants to protect his family.

"it'll be okay, alec. you and parker will live. nate and sophie will live."

"but you won't." hardison's voice breaks and eliot wipes his eyes.

"i've already lived longer than i planned." eliot musters a smile and reaches to take hardison's hand in his own.

the tension eases ever so slightly from hardison as eliot reaches with reflexes quicker than hardison and pours the liquid out of hardison's glass into his own and downs it in one.

if you're looking at the art and wondering hey that looks kinda familiar- i stole it from the labyrinth of gedref, the scene where arthur and merlin are about to drink poison. (leveragetober day 15- poison)

Whumptober No. 11

Captivity

This one is pretty light hearted and fluffy, um so yeah. Guess I can't write angst for too long lmao.

Short, fluffy fic Under the cut! No Tw

Oh, and just for the sake of the story, everyone knows about Twilight being a wolf, hyrule becoming a fairy, rabbit legend, and so on.

Day 11 - Captivity

Legend woke up to the uncomfortable feeling of fur on his skin, realizing he was in his rabbit form.

Great.

He tried to stretch, but it was cramped wherever he was. He couldn't move.

He opened his eyes.

He didn't know why it hadn't occurred to him to do that yet

Dumb rabbit he thought to himself.

He took in his surroundings, trying to gauge what was going on.

What he saw was a camp. But not his and his brothers' camp.

No, it was someone else's.

He was being kept in a cage at the edge of the clearing, tied up in a tree.

He could see 4 burly men with weapons sitting and talking around a fire.

He tuned his ears to the conversation.

"How much do you think that pink fur is worth? It looks very natural"

"Hmm, I don't know, probably a lot. Good job boys!"

Poachers Legend thought to himself.

"Why do you think it was in a sleeping bag though.."

"Oh shut up dude, doesn't matter to us"

I must have turned during the night?? But how? Legend thought to himself.

The poachers continued to ramble on, and he stopped listening in favor of figuring out an escape plan before he was skinned alive.

He considered his options.

Seeing as he couldn't move much at all, there weren't many.

He could make a ruckus and try to get their attention, but that could lead to his demise even quicker.

He could try to wriggle through the bars, but he seriously doubted that would work.

He decided he was going to wait it out, and hoped his brothers would notice he was gone soon.

He cast his gaze to the sky. It was just becoming morning, so hopefully someone would wake up soon, and realize he wasn't there.

He tried to become as comfortable as he could, and kept his eyes peeled for signs of his brothers or danger.

—----------------------------

Hyrule was legends bed mate. They would sleep next to each other, and they had a pact. When one had a nightmare, they would wake up the other to comfort them. It was just how it went.

So when he woke up that morning, and legend was missing from his bed, he began to panic.

He looked at time and Twilight, who were up helping Wild with breakfast.

"Hey, uh guys? Where's Legend?"

Time looked back at him, "we figured he just needed some time to himself, and went off in the woods somewhere."

And, of course that made sense to Hyrule, except it didn't sit right with him. Legend always told him before he went anywhere. He found it suspicious.

"He didn't take his weapons though.." Hyrule thought out loud, "he always takes his weapons with him, just in case."

He had grabbed the attention of everyone awake at camp, and Time was looking at him with a knowing expression on his face.

"You can tell something is not right, can't you Hyrule?" Time responded calmly.

"Yeah… I think we should go look for him, just in case.."

Wind slowly began to stir from his bed roll, and in a sleepy morning voice, slurred,

"Where we goin'?"

"If you think something's wrong, we can go look for him, Hyrule. You know him the best of all of us." Twilight replyed.

Hyrule nodded.

"We'll take Wind and Warriors with us Hyrule." Twilight said, gathering his stuff.

"The rest of you stay here in case he comes back. Wild, use your slate to communicate with Wind if he comes back."

Wild gestures a thumbs up, as Warriors, Wind and Twilight begin to collect their stuff.

Twilight shifts into Wolfie, and they set off in the direction of legends sent.

They traveled for a while, and came across a camp. Similar to theirs, but it has a different, cigarette-like, smell to it.

"Yuck, it reeks here" Wind makes a gagging face while whispering.

"Look! There's legend!" Warriors whispers, pointing to a small cage near the edge of the camp, hanging from a branch. A little pink rabbit nestled in it.

Twilight shifts back into his human form and begins to eye the armor and weaponry of the 4 men.

"They have stronger weapons than we brought, but if we can use our element of surprise to our advantage, we might be able to take them down.."

"Oo! Oo! I have a plan," Wind says excitedly, "Hyrule should go in as a fairy to try and free legend, and the rest if us can distract them!"

"That, actually might work Sailor,... good thinking" Wars replies, and Wind's face lights up at the compliment.

"Then it's settled, we will distract them, and Hyrule goes on to try and free legend." Twilight shifts back into a wolf, and before Hyrule can protest, they're off.

Well, I guess I'll figure out what and how to undo a lock myself then.

Hyrule uses his fairy spell to transform, and quickly makes his way over to legends cage. The other three had already busied themselves with the poachers.

He approaches legend, and the rabbit had already noticed him.

"Finally," Legend mutters to him, "it took you guys forever, I thought they were gonna skin me alive!"

Hyrule promptly apologizes, and fiddles with the lock.

But with his small hands and limbs, it made it hard to figure out what was going on.

He tried to fit his arm into the hole of the lock, hoping he could free it like that, but before he could, legend stopped him.

"NO! No! Hyrule, don't do that, you're gonna rip your arm off!... go find a small stick or something." He said hastily, making sure the poachers hadn't heard him.

Hyrule flitted off to find a "small stick or something" as Legend had requested. He heard the sounds of metal hitting metal, as the other heros tried to fight off the poachers.

He found a small stick he thought would work, and made his way back over to legend, but it was hard as the stick was kind of heavy for his small fairy body.

When he finally made it back to the lock, legend was watching the other heros nervously, it appeared they were starting to lose.

"C'mon Roolie, quick! Or I think Wind might lose a limb!"

It was true, two of the men had ganged up on Wind, and all he had was his small pocket knife. He was holding them off well, but he looked like he was getting tired, as strings of sailor curses were hot off his tongue.

Twilight and Wars kept trying to get to him, but the other two men were making that hard.

Hyrule fiddled with the stick until he managed to fit it into the lock hole. Now it was just a matter of turning it right.

A few more seconds of fiddling, and the lock clicked, and sprung open.

Legend sprung out of the cage, and quickly turned back into a human.

He stretched quickly, but the sound of the cage clattering and drew the attention of the poachers.

Hyrule undid the fairy spell, and turned human too, tossing legend his sword that he had left back at camp.

With the two of them back, it was only a matter of seconds before the heros had the poachers overwhelmed.

—--------------------------

They made it back to camp, and Wind was rambling,

"You cut it real close their Roolie, a little longer and I might have had to retreat!"

"You did well holding your own Wind, I'm proud of you" Warriors commented nonchalantly, and Wind practically glowed in the praise.

"Where'd you find 'im" Wild asked when they made it back.

"He turned into a rabbit in his sleep and some poachers took him." Twilight said in a monotone voice.

"Oh! Huh. Just a day in the life of a hero I guess. It comes with the contract" Four said smoothly.

Everyone laughed, and the situation would be easily brushed off and forgotten in a few days.

------------ End

I hope this was satisfactory to those of you who read this, because it was really fun to write!

Thank you and have an outstanding day!

Scapegoat

What the hell had been all that bollocks? 

That phone call had been.. Bad? Was that the word? 

Sure, she hadn’t been talking to him much- but he’d been going through a rough time, she didn’t want to bother him. 

But…She was about to make a huge life decision, she’d wanted to talk to her best friend about it. 

Moving halfway around the world was a big, big deal.

But, when she’d attempted to talk about the job offer in Unova, his reaction had been… odd

Odd? Bad? Not what she was expecting

And he’d hung up on her. He’d never done that before, even when they’d argued

So there she was; taking the long, annoying bus ride from her apartment in Turffield all the way to Spikemuth, with Drew wrapped around her upper arm with a concerned whine

“Ah know, Drew. He’s been havin’ a rough go at it. I shoulda gone in person in the first place” She reasoned. Big news like that shouldn’t have been shared over the phone anyway. 

Getting off right in front of the gym, Anya saw Marnie sitting on the steps scrolling through her phone, looking a big miffed herself before she spotted the librarian 

“Anya?” 

“Hello” She greeted “What’re doing out here?” 

“Waitin’ for a friend” the girl answered “I’m goin’ t’Hammerlocke with them” 

“Ah.. where is your brother?” 

“In the gym” She pointed “But uh, he’s in a nasty mood” 

Anya furrowed her brow. Still? 

“I need t’talk to him. Are the doors open?” 

She nodded “I heard him yelling at someone over the phone…that wasn’t you, was it?” 

Anya huffed “I told him ‘bout a job offer I got. I’ll explain it to ya later, when I’ve talk t’him, okay?” 

Marnie didn’t seem assuaged by the answer, but gave her a nod before Anya went inside. 

The inside was about as brightly lit as it always was, and Piers was sat at the edge of the stage, legs crossed, phone to his ear. 

He seemed to be listening to something, and he rubbed his forehead in what looked like annoyance. 

“Fuckin’ arse..” he muttered before looking up and seeing Anya, flanked by Drew on her right side, and he scowled “What the ‘ell are you ‘ere for? Aren’t’cha packin f’r y’r fancy new job?” 

Taken aback, Anya squared her shoulders “You hung up on me” She pointed out “y’never do tha’. I wanted t’talk t’ya in person” 

“About what?” He stood up, his body language tense “About how y’r gettin’ added to the long, never ending list of people who’d rather be anywhere else? D’ja know that I just had to spend several days convincin’ sponsors to keep fundin’ the damned gym?? And then I get a call from you about movin’ to Unova?” 

“It was a recent development!” Anya argued “And-and you’ve been so stressed lately, I didn’t - I didn’t wanna tell ya until I was sure” 

“Oh, so you wanted to blindside me!” 

“No!” Anya yelled back at him “Why would I wanna do that t’you! I just - this is a big opportunity and -” 

“And What!?” Piers interrupted, his eyes wide and almost manic

Anya stepped back, her own eyes wide, her stand stiff and uncomfortable. 

“I ….” She nervously swallowed “I thought it might… the move might be a good thin’ for me” 

“... Seriously” his tone was low, disbelieving. 

Admittedly, she hasn't really talked about her intense, painful ennui in the last two years. The stuck-ness, that desperate need for something else. 

He was in the opposite position, and infinitely more stressed about it. She didn’t think he needed to know. 

That was clearly a mistake. 

She tired to keep her shoulders squared, and nodded 

“I … I need a change” She started “I need one, a big one, and - and this is such a- such a big opportunity for me” 

Piers didn’t say anything, staring at her like she was speaking in tongues. 

“I just… you’ve been so busy an’ an’ I didn’t know how t’talk to ya about it, I wanted to wait until y’were in a better place but..” 

“Oh, I’m definitely in a better place now” He practically hissed “Now that I know where you stand!” 

“Piers-”

“What? Gonna try t’convince me that I should move too?? Leave everything behind?!” “What- of course not! Y’love Spikemuth!” 

“I thought you did too!” 

“I do! It’s not tha’ simple!” 

“Nothing is! Nothing is and ever will be! But here you are, telling me you’re going to fuckin’ Unova! What’s Unova got, hm?” 

Drew was starting to look agitated, but remained by Anya, glaring at the gym leader as Anya tried to figure out the right answer to that question

“... Its… It’s a change, Piers. Like I … Like I said.. I need it” She attempted “I wanted to talk to’ye about it” 

Piers just rolled his eyes, looking back at the stage. “You know, all I’ve been dealin’ with is people I thought were friends just, ditching me. Abandoning me and Marnie” 

Anya didn’t comment on that, not liking his implications. 

“I thought at least you wouldn’t abandon me, you know? Sure. You moved to Turffield. You were on the other side of the country, but you were still here! Y’still visited, but now..” 

He let out a bitter laugh

“What kinda ‘friend’ does that?” 

“Wh- Piers, what the hell are you saying?!” 

“I’m asking you what kind of friend does that, Ambermight!” He yelled. 

“Are you… Are you saying I’m not your friend?” She managed, her hurt expression nearly breaking Piers out of his rage, but he turned away before he could let the anger go. 

“... I’m saying that you’re just like everyone else” He practically sneered. 

“Yama!” Drew responded - indignance clear in his tone

“Drew!” Anya admonished, though her tone was uneven and she nearly squeaked. 

Piers found that he couldn’t get that twitch out of his had, needing something - something- 

He abruptly turned towards her, finding her on one end of the area from him. 

Without thinking over the idea for even a second, he grabbed a pokeball, and tossed it - with his Obstagoon - Ollie-  letting out a shriek that caused Anya to jump back. 

“Wh- now?! You - “ She seemed to understand what he wanted, and that hurt expression disappeared behind a hard scowl. “Y’know what - FINE!!” She threw out her own pokeball, and her Froslass - Frankie- came out with its own shriek

Anya signed something to her Froslass - it was too fast and messy for Piers to get it, but the glint of focus in the pokemon’s eyes told him they were ready for battle. 

Battles with Anya were supposed to be fun - a challenge and an excuse to try new things

Instead he felt like he was fighting for his life, and she seemed to be doing the same, going to far as to use the sign language technique she’d been developing since moving to Turffield - her friendship with Milo was the cause of that. 

His chest felt like it was burning, aching, like he knew what he was doing was wrong, but he called out attacks until Ollie fell in defeat, Frankie looking worse for wear, but clearly the victor. 

When Piers finally looked up at her face, tears were flowing freely despite the valiant attempt to keep a straight face. Piers was certain he didn’t look too great either. 

She recalled her pokemon, and said nothing. 

[“GO AHEAD!! KICK ME WHILE I’M DOWN! LIKE A REAL FRIEND”]

She didn’t respond to that, and he didn’t look at her. Even Drew was silent. 

No one said anything, and then he heard her boots take her outside, her pace nearly running. 

Piers didn’t move for quite some time, his anger leaving him and dread taking up space in his chest.

… What the hell did he just do?

Whumptober No.8

Outnumbered

TW - Death(?), Gore, Blood

I'm not a good writer but here goes nothing lmao.

Short Fic Under the cut.

Day 8 - Outnumbered

Hyrule couldn't breathe.

He couldn't do anything.

There wasn't anything left to do.

This was the end. They had him surrounded.

They would kill him.

They would get his blood.

They would bring back Gannon, and it would be over.

He would be dead

No more Hero. No more savior. Only darkness.

His breathing grew rapid as the tight circle of monsters grew tighter around him.

He trembled, holding his sword in a slippery, sweaty hand, trying to cut down as many monsters as he could handle. But they were overwhelming him.

Failure.

That's what he was, that's what he always had been.

He hadn't had any friends before the chain, and even then he felt like the odd one out.

They would be better off without him.

He stopped putting up a fight.

He was useless. He didn't contribute anything.

They started to cut into his skin, deep gashes that spilled blood all over his tunic.

He stood there and took it.

Everything started to become fuzzy.

Wow, what a way to go huh, he thought.

I hope Gannon is embarrassed that he wasn't the one to take me down..

Suddenly, someone called his name out through the darkness. As he started to black out he saw the faces of his brothers, racing through the hoard of monsters, cutting them down as they ran to get to him.

He collapsed, but not onto the ground, but instead into Legends arms.

"Hang in there Roolie, Wars is coming with medical supplies" Legend states frantically.

"Just hold on!" Tears start to spill out of the normally stoic heros eyes.

Hyrules vision is blurring more and more, and with his last bit to strength he mumbles.

"I'm sorry Legend"

Everything goes black.

A Commotion about the Commotions

Oh… it was a record shop. 

Well, this hadn’t been what she’d expected. Perhaps she should have looked up the website. Oh well. 

“Yama?” Daniel seemed to question 

“Might as well… maybe they’ll have somethin from the Jones’?” Anya thought, approaching the front of the store, just a tad nervous. 

“Yah!” Drew nodded, agreeing with the new plan. 

When Anya had heard of a place called the “Archive”, she’d assumed that it was a bookstore. She shouldn’t have. It was a music store. Good thing she was also a big music nerd. 

Cautiously checking the record boxes, her eyes caught a bright red cover - was that- 

“The Commotions!” She grabbed at it, unintentionally grabbing it at the same time someone else did 

The touch immediately startled Anya, who took her hand back. 

“Oh, sorry!” 

Anya’s eyes fell on the other person, who was staring at her with wide, blue eyes. 

“Sorry. Were you looking at it?” The woman held out the record “I thought this was for yungPaldeans, but I misread the album title” 

Anya took a moment to collect herself, “Oh uh… thank ye” 

“No problem!You like Galarian Punk?” 

“Wha’ gave it away?” Anya responded “Mah accent? The freckles” 

The woman laughed in response, a rather bold, sweet laugh. “Maybe a little. Not a lot of people know the Commotion, I have a soft spot for them, but I think I prefer The Skirmish” 

“I uh, have a complicated history wit’ the skirmish” Anya admitted “but they’re real good” 

The woman tilted her head at the sentence, but didn’t answer “I’m January, call me Jan” 

“Oh uh, Anya. This is Drew an’ Daniel.” She pointed to the floating Yamasks

“Oh, wow! Is that a galarian Yamask? Ive never seen one before!” 

“Yama!” Drew answered with a nod. 

“Aye, he is. They’re mah partners” 

“Partners? Wow!” Jan then asked “Hey, uhm, if I buy you this album.. Could I pick your brain on the yamasks? I love ghost pokemon, but I’m not very good at handling them” 

Anya tilted her head a bit at the idea, and got a nudge from Drew. 

But, to the pokemon’s surprise, Anya didn’t look at him, her eyes locked on the woman in front of her. 

Drew gave a suspicious look to her, but Daniel seemed pleased, giving an encouraging nudge to Anya. 

“Uh, yes, sure, yes” Anya nodded

Jan grinned back at her, and Drew and Daniel looked at each other knowingly.

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

#i said i wont ever rant about this bc it's unseemly but HONESTLY. #you simply cannot complain about not having enough of A or B or C and then never reblog / interact with the content you love. #If you LOVE something you cannot just leave a like and silently wait for more to happen #I know countless of content creators that simply stopped doing art/writing fic/making edits #You need to understand that fandom content is made FOR the fandom FOR the engagement FOR the entertainment and fun it makes. #If a content creator does not have fun IN the fandom-- why would they spend the scares free time they have on making this content? #And we're not talking about things that you don't like-- no one expects you to reblog things you don't like. #However I think it's safe to say that when a post has more than 5k it's not some random shitpost with no value. #tumblr issues #tumblr #content creators #buns.txt #something something please don't starve your local clowns
