Secret Admirer 💌💞

Can't stop thinking about this idea.

eddie having a secret admirer, writing to him about her day ,what she admires about him, maybe telling him how she’s learning more about his interests and how she finds them cool when she’s the complete opposite of him ,leaving him orgami every time she writes a letter, until one day she decides to join hellfire club and eddie tells her about how he has some person writing to him maybe watch him connect the dots as the fic progresses

Request by anon 💞 took this in a slightly different angstier direction but I hope you like it anon 😘

She smiles as Eddie finds the letter that she left for him. For a while now she has been crushing on him and was too nervous to say anything.

An anonymous letter was the perfect way to confess her feelings, she told him about her day, how she liked that he played D&D, that it looked so cool and she wishes she could play.

She also wrote about how much she liked that he didn't conform to people's expectations and that she thought he was really cute, with the most beautiful brown eyes she had ever seen.

Most of all she liked how kind he was to people who needed a friend, a place where they belonged.

Hellfire Club.

The letter was accompanied by origami, a dragon for D&D and she watched him smiling as he read the letter and pick up the origami dragon.

Maybe one day she can tell him how she feels but for now the letters will have to do.

❤💌

Over the last couple of weeks, Eddie had been receiving letters accompanied by the most intricate origami.

He looked forward to getting the letters every day, especially as the writer of the letter admitted to having a crush on him.

All he knew about the writer was that she was a girl and she had a crush on him for a while.

At first, he was worried it was some sort of prank concocted by that asshole Jason but the more the letters kept coming, genuine affection clear in each word he began to realise it was legit.

The latest letter made his heart skip a beat, he always thought he was too cynical to believe in falling in love and shit like that.

It's not like he had a lot of experience with romance. Just a few hookups after gigs or when he went out of town to concerts.

But these letters, the girl who was behind them made him believe that love could be possible for him.

He wanted to know who was writing these letters, maybe take her on a date and buy her flowers, and chocolates, actually be romantic and show exactly how much he was fallen for her through the letters.

Hopefully, he would find who it was one day? For now, he tucked the letter in his jean pocket and went to sit with Hellfire.

To his surprise, a girl is sitting beside Dustin. Wasn't she in his class with Miss O'Donnell? Yn? He recalls and remembers she helped him out with a few questions last week, he was kinda distracted by how pretty her eyes were and her sweet voice.

He cringes feeling guilty about noticing yn when he has the girl who obviously likes him and hes fallen for via the letters.

"Hi, Eddie, do you mind if I join Hellfire? I'm not very well-versed in D&D lore but I'm a fast learner and I'm sure you're a great teacher" she smiles at him and gently places a hand on his arm.

His skin warms where she touches him and his stomach flips with nerves. Jesus h Christ, she's stunning and sweet.

He puts on a mask of indifference and shrugs.

"Sure but you need to do the work. I've not got all day to train a rookie. Kay?". She beams and he clears his throat.

Something flickers in his mind that maybe she is the one writing the letters but he dismisses it quickly.

Surely she would just tell him? She didn't seem too shy.

He would figure out who was sending these letters eventually.

❤💌

As the week's pass, her crush on Eddie grows even more to the point that she is falling in love with him.

Watching him in his element as the Dungeon Master was one of her favourite things and she loved listening to the voices he would do for each character.

Or the fact that he helped her with creating her own character and getting her up to speed with D&D lore even though he said he wouldn't.

Things like that made him even more incredible to her.

One day after Hellfire she is helping him tidy away and he has the sweetest smile on his face.

"What's that sweet smile for handsome?" he blushes a little when she calls him that and he begins to open up to her.

"I've met someone, well not met yet but she writes me letters, the most beautiful letters and I want to meet her, tell her how I feel about her"

Her heart skips a beat.

"How do you feel about her?" His expression turns soft and he sighs.

"I've never felt this way before, all of these emotions. It's scary but scary good. She makes me so happy and I'm falling in love with her. I know it's crazy. I've never met her but that's how she makes me feel"

Oh... she feels like she is floating on a cloud and works to keep the dopey grin off her face.

She knows now that she has to tell him the truth, that she is in love with him too and she is his secret admirer.

💞💌

She was going to tell Eddie during their Tuesday Hellfire meeting but Jeff and Gareth came back in for Eddie before she could do anything.

So she snuck a small note in his locker with an origami that was a love heart and asked for them to meet in town.

Eddie had been practically buzzing all day since she saw him read the note and he had a spring in his step, constant smiles on his face.

Hopefully, when he finds out she is his admirer he is still happy. It's a thought that made her nervous.

What if he was disappointed it was her and turned her down? All day while Eddie was excited she was on tenterhooks anxious to find out his reaction.

💌💞

Just like she asked in the letter Eddie is waiting at the coffee shop in town. She's so nervous about his reaction to her being his secret admirer.

Would he be happy? She hopes so. Taking a deep breath she walks over to the table and sits down.

"Hi, Eddie" he stops drumming his fingers on the table and smiles at her.

"Hey, yn, are you here about Hellfire? I can't really talk right now. Im waiting for someone" he looks around and she feels her heart sink.

"Your secret admirer right?" he nods and she wants to tell him that she is right here but something in her heart breaks right there and then.

She is sitting right beside him and he hasn't even entertained the thought that she could be his admirer?

"Eddie?" she is just about to pluck up the courage to say something but quietens as he cranes his neck to look around.

"What is it, sweetheart?" she shakes her head, a lump growing in her throat.

Choking back tears she nods and makes an excuse to leave feeling like a darn idiot for getting her hopes up so high.

Once she is back home and cuddled up in bed she lets all the tears that she has been holding fall.

In her crying state, she writes Eddie one last letter deciding to be done with this whole charade for good.

She should have known he didn't feel the same.

💞💌

Eddie was waiting for his secret admirer to show up but she was a no-show. Burning with embarrassment he headed back home and realised this whole thing must have been lies after all.

Maybe it was a big joke concocted by Jason and his asshole friends after all? He can't believe he got suckered in by sweet words.

All night he tosses and turns, torn between anger and the fact that maybe something important came up and that's why his girl was a no show.

Maybe he is just clinging to dumb hope?

In the morning with not much sleep, he heads to school and finds a letter slipped between his locker.

He's torn between wanting to open it or just ripping it up. His curiosity wins however and he opens it.

His heart sinks as he reads the words.

I'm sorry I wasn't what you were looking for Eddie. I hope you can find who that person is for you.

There was no origami with this letter, his heart felt like it had been crushed. She did show up after all?

Where did she get it in her head that she wasn't what he was looking for? Frustrated he heads into class and is determined to find out who his admirer is.

On top of that yn is quiet and barely looks at him. Did he do something to piss her off?

He tries to talk to her during class but she is quiet and looks like she has been up crying. Who upset her? He wants to punch whoever did it for making her so sad.

It still doesn't explain why she is so off with him though. At lunch, he decides to ask her what's wrong.

"Hey, sweetheart? Did I do something wrong? I feel like you're mad at me?" he says confused and she shakes her head.

"I'm fine Eddie" Gareth distracts him by asking about his admirer and he mentions she was a no show.

He is just about to mention the new letter when yn gets up suddenly excusing herself.

"Princess wait!" he captures her hand and in his haste, he accidentally pulls on her bag too and the contents spill to the floor.

"Shit, I'm sorry" he begins to help her pick up her stuff, she looks frantic as she picks the things up and when a familiar set of paper catches his eye he freezes.

Identical paper to his letters... Yn arriving at the coffee shop plays on his mind.

Im sorry I wasn't what you were looking for...

She was trying to tell him something... He thought it unbelievable that she would be his admirer. The girl he was trying hard not to fall for ends up being the one behind the letters after all?

And he fucking ruined it. He curses himself.

Her eyes meet his and she whimpers, gathers the rest of her stuff and rushes out.

"Sweetheart wait!" Fuck! He is so fucking stupid!

❤💌

She rushes out of school wiping away her tears. Eddie knows now and is no doubt preparing how to let her down gently.

He catches up with her and she wipes her eyes.

"It was you after all?" he says softly and she nods trying to avoid his gaze. She doesn't want to see how disappointed he is.

"Eddie, I know you don't feel the same way. It's fine" she reassures him.

He gently takes her hand.

"Princess, wait please," he pleads to her gently. She does and he softens.

"I am so fucking sorry about yesterday. God, I'm an idiot. I should have realised it was you sweetheart"

"It hurt Eddie, I was sitting right there and you didn't even entertain the fact that it could be me" she murmurs and feels the ache in her chest again.

He swallows when he sees her tears and gently wipes them away.

"I never thought it could be possible that the girl I was trying hard not to fall for was the girl that was writing the letters. Didn't think I could ever be so lucky" he says to her, his eyes full of complete reverence.

His words make all of her anxious thoughts melt away.

"You mean that?" she asks him and he nods smiling.

"I've fallen in love with you sweetheart" she wraps her arms around him and he kisses her.

"I love you too Eddie". His head rests against hers.

"You don't know how happy I am that it's you, princess, that I can call you mine," he tells her tenderly and kisses her again.

"I think tonight is perfect for our first date huh?" She beams as he says this and nods.

"Absolutely"

[powderblueblood]

ohhhh 18, 9, and 2 for your Steve and Eddie (any verse you'd like

interrogate me about my characters

you are FEEEDING MEEEEE i'm sorry this took me like a couple of days my brain had to power back up after the weekend

2. THEIR EMOTIONAL/MORAL WEAK SPOTS

hellfire & ice/sequel!eddie starts off as your garden variety drug dealer and progressively adds a couple more tools in his criminal belt as the years go on and honestly? doesn't really see that much of a boohoo about it. yes, it's what the world expects from all munsons, yes, it's bad bad work for bad bad men but eddie can't see himself working a straight job. ever. he's not equipped for it. and, he's made peace with the fact that he'll never be a rockstar (jk no the fuck he has not he's so bitter) so he's all, might as well make the wasted years i have on this stupid earth a little more interesting. he's got a little bit of a robin hood complex going on once we meet him in his late 20s.

clear cut!steve is also a criminal albeit the smoother kind, and kind of works off a similar thing of i've never been good at anything else, so this might as well be my career. except for steve, it's banking on how far he can get with that tireless, bottomless, all-consuming harrington charm. working in insurance, or whatever the fuck his father did, never quite scratched the itch of bold faced robbery that... well, robbery did. it's funny, though. steve's never had the aspirations towards grandeur that his fellow thieves have had, because he knows what it's like to grow up in a cushy rich household. steve's just doing it for the thrill of fooling everybody. and he is, by the way. fooling everybody. even you. remember that.

9. HUMILIATING MEMORIES

hellfire and ice!eddie, like.... do you mean his entire life up to this point and actually, beyond. he once got so unbelievably fucking stoned that he thought calling a phone sex line was a good idea but then once the sexy operator lady picked up, he got so freaked out that he could only talk in fozzie bear voice and he couldn't drop the bit for 20 minutes. fun conversation with wayne about that phone bill. he's also written so much bad poetry, so many embarrassing near-self insert stories (one of us, one of us) where he romances many a comely elfin lady. he once slipped one of these stories into chess club captain martha peterson's locker in freshman year as, like, an effort at wooing her but then he got pulled into the fucking guidance counselor's office because she said he was stalking him.

old hollywood!steve... again. regrets. humiliations. he has a few. one could be punching bela lugosi out after a stage production of dracula because he thought he was a real vampire (drunk). another could be punching out an extra on the set of the merry widow in 1925 because he was sniffing around mae murray, who steve was also sniffing around at the time (jilted). steve was replaced by 'that rodent-voiced bastard john gilbert' and the extra he clocked? none other than clark gable. among other embarrassments; not securing a finalized divorce from his first wife before he married his second (drunk), the time he fully pissed his pants when buster keaton played a prank on him during a seance (stoned), getting caught wailing for a second chance outside joan crawford's room at the garden of alla hotel (that woman was inside having lesbian sex).

18. THINGS THEY'LL NEVER ADMIT

old hollywood!eddie knows his entire career is based on fluke, but he's too embarrassed to nurture his real talent, which is writing. to be honest, he does stunts because he kind of has a death wish. not being able to express himself was killing him, but he was always too full of piss and vinegar and cowardice to kill himself. but now people see him, or what the studios have made of him, and it's glorious and horrifying and naked and fake and full of possibility that he's too scared to touch.

hellfire & ice/burning up & burning out!steve (moreso sequel relevant, but) has always thought lacy was a fucking weirdo honestly and blames lacy for nancy pulling away from him during his senior year, not like nancy becoming a person was a factor or anything... until they're older and steve and lacy grow increasingly fond of each other. he wishes he took the job that his dad laid out for him on a silver platter sometimes and married someone stable, like tina or whoever. steve's increasingly more anxious socially as he ages, knowing that most people see him as some kind of joke, but he has to put on the face and be the guy, whatever that means to him in 1994. he's terrified that he's built his life around constructs that are flimsy; being independent from his family, following a path when he's not sure of himself as a person, desperately trying to make the thing with nancy work when she's there because he's familiar and he's there because he's afraid.

{Hellfire's Crew}

Program: Every ship needs a dedicated crew to keep her afloat in dangerous tides. Every captain needs a loyal crew to rely on. Introducing the phantom crew of Hellfire.

Counselors: Pirate! Eddie Munson

Genre: Fluff, Headcanon

Camp Upside Down Masterlist

Counselor Notes: Just a little continuation of my blurb from last night. Also, I'm naming the "unknown freak" in Eddie's friend group/corroded coffin, Sebastian. I just wanted to think about the four of their roles on the ship. I might add on the younger ST kids in another hc.

Captain Edward Munson, Shepard of Lost Souls

One of the newest captains to navigate the seas, Captain Munson has already begun to make a name for himself. Calm and collected while guiding his misfit crew to lost riches. Strategic during seafaring battles and resourceful when figuring out how to best escape capture. Eddie invites new crew members after scouring the waters for any survivors from wrecks or burning ship remains after battle. He's not necessarily forgiving or ruthless, but he treats his crew with respect and care while trying to keep control of his ship. When not at the wheel of the ship, Eddie slinks back to his quarters and surrounds himself with maps, worn book, a repaired guitar, and tobacco to rest.

First Mate Jeff

The only person on board the Hellfire to see how the galleon received its name after one fatal night with Captain Munson. Knowledgable of the ins and outs of pirate politics as well as the current turmoil on land. Well versed in the fading lore and feared legends to help prepare and plan their quests. Jeff is the only crew mate who has been with Eddie from the start, and he knows how to read the captain to a tee. Put of the entire galleon, Jeff is the only who would dare go toe to toe with Eddie when the captain gets in one of his shut off moods and is quick with his silver tongue.

Navigator Gareth

Since he was a child, Gareth has always been described as "his head's in the clouds". And, he's finally found his spot among the stars on Hellfire. His belt is weighed down by all his time pieces and navigation tools. Trusted with all the maps and threatens anyone who dares tries to mess with/take them. The one redcoat who attempted to take the scared paper met a gruesome demise at the shaking hands of Gareth. Doesn't want to get into altercations or fights, but he is willing to lay down his life if it means taking secret information to the grave than giving it up. During days of rest, Gareth's lips are the loosest and most likely to start singing a terrible tune.

Lead Gunner Sebastian

It's as if this man has been possessed by the spirit of ruthless gunner. On days of rest, Sebastian teetering on a barrel sharing stories of beautiful people and terrifying pirates. During battles, he barks out orders and bites back at the ship who dares attack them. Skilled in almost all firearms, Sebastian is able to defend the ship and crew within whatever means possible. He's often found at his work table covered in new soot trying to prototype a new explosion.

When you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers, if you can. Let’s spread the self-love. ♥️

This sent me down a rabbit hole of stuff that I've written

But okay, I'll say that these are a few of my favorites:

The Sun & The Star, the Stucky AU where the Winter Soldier was given skinny!Steve as a pet and now they're very much unhinged and in love.

Her Eyes 'verse, the Teen Wolf zombie apocalypse AU from a literal decade ago where Greenberg dies and Finstock is sad about it. Because I hate reading MCD & angst, but I'm pretty good at writing it when the mood strikes.

The Girl & The Demon, original 'verse where a girl befriends demon and ends up with the power of hellfire. Also because ominous and angsty, but also because girls with superpowers (and/or a blade) and a vendetta to settle is my lifelong hyperfixation.

Welcome to Stark Industries, technically a Gen Marvel AU where Steve is the newest employee at a rather unique work place. Because sometimes I’m good at comedy, too.

Don’t ask me about a fifth one, it was hard enough coming up with these four :x

"Screw me if I'm wrong, but haven't we met before?" He doesn't realize that line doesn't work if you HAVE met. He's a little dumb.

  There was amusement clear on her face when he said that, she knew that they had met before and it was clear that he didn’t think this line wouldn’t be applied to either of them。

"Poor thing, and I just swept the area for traps yesterday. Such cruelty towards sweet creatures like you...allow me to help you out."

Kneeling down next to the trapped fox, Oliver made sure his movements were slow to avoid startling the poor thing. Careful just in case it would bite, slowly he freed it from that awful trap. Wrapping it up in a towel, the fox got a few gentle pets from him. How anyone could put out such awful traps, leaving them to suffer for who knows how long.

If he found the bastards that put out the traps, he'd break their damn legs for making these sweet critters suffer.

"Such a beauty. I'll take you home with me, make sure to care for you until you're healed. Don't worry little one, you'll be better again soon enough."

[paimonial-rage]

Water, Earth, Fire, Air! HAHAA and if you see fit: shadows and clouds :) — @milkstore

Thank yoooouuuu for the ask! I had too much fun rambling aughhhh!!!

Water: How did you start writing?

I started right after I discovered fanfiction in sixth grade. I was so enamored that I immediately started on a Bleach fanfiction with a Mary Sue OC. SO EMBARRASSING. Even more embarrassing is that a few weeks ago, someone actually FAVORITED that story on FF.net. LIKE???? It wasn't even a good story. How did someone find it from more than a decade ago!!!

Earth: What do you think is the foundation of your WIP?

Idk if I'm answering this question correctly, but whenever I start a story, it's always centered around a specific something I want to achieve. It could be a vibe, emotion, specific scene, specific message, goal, etc. Like with Sharing a Drink They Call Loneliness, my goal was introducing to Zhongli the thought that a life forgotten is not necessarily a life wasted. In What Destiny Has Brought, it takes place after the Summertime Odyssey event where she accepted who she was as Fischl. What I wanted was for her to also accept herself as Amy. Once I figure out what I want to achieve, I then plot the events that will get me to that point.

Fire: What’s a scene that you are dying to write?

I've been sitting on this idea for months, but in the bookkeeping!verse, I want the subject of Morax's Statue of Seven to be addressed between reader and Zhongli. I have it half-written, but I've hyped it up so much in my mind that I just can't accept what I've written so far! It's not funny enough! It's not punch-in-your-face enough!!!! I want to humiliate that man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sad thing is that it's shorter than an actual fic, but the execution is still killing meeee… Here's a snippet tho if u wanna read….. >//3//>

Air: What’s the easiest part of writing for you?

I want to say that there's no easy part of writing for me. When I'm in the mode to write, everything flows like water. It's so easy. Everything works out well. But the moment I hit a roadblock, suddenly my pipes get clogged and then nothing flows for a few months. Nothing sounds good. Nothing works. But… If I had to say one thing, it'd probably be dialogue. There are certain characters I absolutely cannot write for (e.g. Kaeya), but for most characters, it's easy for me to hear them saying lines in my head. I just have to tweak what they say for everything to sound in character.

Shadows: What’s the darkest theme you’ve ever written about?

I will be completely honest. While I love reading dark themes, I'm terrible at writing them. The closest I come to is my interest in writing toxic complex relationships. Contrary to what my rules imply, I love writing about mentally ill people. Not the "uwuwuwu i'm so depressed :'((((( i hate myself" sadboy mentally ill. But the mentally ill that makes you yell, makes you distrustful, makes you unheathily possessive, makes you emotionally abusive, etc. The mentally ill that makes you absolutely reject the idea that you're deserving of love. I enjoy writing people in that state and the effects it has on the people around them.

Of course, I don't enjoy writing those things because I find them amusing or condone such behaviors. It's easy to put toxic and abusive people in a certain category as unreedemable. Scum of the earth. Deserving of eternal hellfire. But when you're close to that toxic abusive person, you realize it's not as clean cut as outsiders make it out to be. You can't just villify them and be done with it. Maybe writing about those things helps me come to terms with my own childhood, idk. It's just a field I enjoy exploring.

Clouds: How clearly do you picture a scene before you start writing it down?

NOT VERY MUCH AT ALL HAHA. Like I mentioned before, I usually have a goal. Then I make a very fuzzy mental list on how to get there, then I'll just start writing. But that's the rub, isn't it? Because I don't fully picture and plan things out in advance, sometimes unforeseen things pop up which cause roadblocks. Like for a Yae story I'm writing, I had one goal in mind and somehow that multiplied into four goals? Which are far too many. So now I'm at a loss on how to continue aughhh…

But thank you so much for sending this ask! I had fun answering!!! :D

[adventism-atheism-orthodoxy-me]

The Narratives we tell ourselves are important

I've been thinking about the following for a couple of days. Fr. Powell's devotional prompted me to go ahead and publish it even though it's edgier than I would like. I still sat on it for a bit, then Father Freeman reprinted his post on our interconnectedness.

Consider this a raw insight into my mind.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I listen to several You-Tubers who call themselves atheists, and they all (1)(2)(3)(4) followed a similar trajectory. I might also add that a Seventh-Day Adventist Pastor experimented with a, "A Year Without God", and he became an "agnostic atheist". They all grew up with a narrative about God, largely in the Evangelical tradition; they bought into the narrative; started picking at the inconsistencies in their understanding vs the reality of life; and then stopped calling themselves Christian.

I came from a relatively questioning home. From the beginning, rather than assume that I had the correct narrative of history and Christianity, I assumed that the narrative that had created over 10 centuries of martyrs had been obscured, that the reason Christianity has lost its savor is the fact that somewhere down the line, the true story was lost. I assumed that the reason I was questioning my Christianity, was because the Christianity I was questioning wasn't Paul's or Steven's Christianity. It was an obscured Christianity - distorted even. It was THAT, that I questioned.

It started with Indulgences. Were they a distortion, or is heaven truly measured out in treasuries of grace and merit verses sins committed - with weight added and subtracted for monies paid, good works done, etc.… Could I somehow figure out exactly how much "sin" I was accruing if I worked late on a Friday night (Remember, I'm an Adventist in a secular Corporatocracy where firms demand employees work on their schedules)? One demerit for every minute? maybe one for every second? Or was it just one demerit for the day, and call it good? If I believed in penance, what would it cost?

Pick your poison - Theft. If you steal office supplies, is that the same as $100 dollars? What about the number of people that are affected, does that change the formula? If I look at a woman with lust in my heart, the Bible calls that a sin, so is the second look free? What if I go further, is that a new sin, or are we still working off the old one? Hate is murder; how many people have you murdered today? If you flip someone off in traffic, is that murder, or do you have to pray for their destruction to make it count? To be homosexual means to engage in certain practices; isn't sodomy equally as sinful as any extramarital, or for that matter, any premarital encounter?

Protestants took the whole accounting process for granted.

They then posited a "Good God", and tried to cram a "get out of Hell" proviso to the whole accounting process to make it so. Christ came to earth and "paid it all!" Which reminds me of Paul, Romans 6:15, "Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?" The answer for too many Protestants seems to be, "Sure!"; the rest hear, "by no means!" and struggle with the inherent "legalism".

That is a petty system, and the God running that system is a petty God. That system has also been used by petty men for their own gain.

I needed a real God. Not a petty God - a glorified accountant. I was a sinner in the hands of this petty, angry God. And it must be said...

That God was a Demon.

My Pastors couldn't see how toxic this God was. Christ gave himself on our behalf, it was his choice. But - Really? Would we hold Abraham on his pedestal as a righteous Patriarch had he gone through with eviscerating Isaac, even though Isaac seemed to be okay with it?

I shudder to think of the world we would be living in if we truly thought so. I needed a better narrative.

Then I discovered Orthodoxy.

Protestant consensus suggested that there were no developed theories of atonement in Christianity prior to Anselm. Many seemed to think that because of this, we somehow have a superior advantage. However, as I began to dig and look for Eastern Orthodox connections, many pieces started coming together - the role of a physician in healing disease, the kinds of sacrifices a fireman makes when saving people from a burning building - these kinds of illustrations. Things were starting to feel as though they were making more sense. I think the narrative that finally clinched it for me was Kalimiros' River of Fire. This was a narrative that explained Christ's resurrection, and more importantly, my own role to play in my own Salvation. A joyous labor that would draw me closer to him and incidentally make me more human if I was faithful; and one with dire consequences if, like the foolish virgins, I chose to fritter his gift away with idleness and self importance. The Ancestral Sin by John S. Romanides was also helpful. Both men have been criticized, and maybe they don't offer a full truth. However, the God they offer is far superior to the one I've experienced in the West.

Sin is still sin. But the perspective is a little different. Yes, I believe homosexuality is a sin, but so is promiscuity at all levels. God loves all of us though, and just because someone else isn't fighting the same struggles I am, doesn't mean that they don't deserve God's love just as much, if not more. Abortion may not be God's desire, but women who have had abortions are still loved by him, and further, the cancerous conditions that led them to think that abortion is the best option are still festering in society and need to be addressed. This is THE much larger struggle now that Satan's easy solution, the normative status quo, has been threatened by the overturning of Roe v. Wade in our nation's highest court.

Helping these and others may or may not save them, but remember Matthew 25 - "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

I must not condemn, rather, I must assume that doing what I can to aid them in defeating their own demons will, in at least a small part, help me to defeat my own in our acquiring the kingdom.

Lord have mercy upon me -

A Sinner.

Word Count: 2.7k

Pairing(s): Tom Holland x Actress!Reader

Warnings: FLUFF with a slightly (barely) suggestive sentence towards the end 

A/n: damn I can't write anything except actress reader? smh but this is for @londonspidey ‘s sit-com Writing challenge (ik I'm early lol) but I was so excited I wrote the whole thing in one go lmao the prompt is bolded!

Calling yourself a fan was an understatement. You were obsessed with anything and everything marvel. And oddly enough, you could after today say you were in the club. It wasn’t a public fact yet, until later that day actually, at the Marvel panel at comic con that you were being announced as the actress for the character, Felica Hardy and no one else knew except for the people who cast you and your best friend who signed an NDA. You were technically still a known actress for your roles on television mainly as Thalia on the PJO Disney + series and a couple of still decently sized films. 

You were currently wrapping up signing autographs for fans of yours for today. Your team had planned it out so it wasn’t suspicious that you were at the con with a few of your castmates scattered doing other junkets and press so people wouldn’t guess who they were acting as the cast for new marvel projects. 

You had been planning to go meet your best friend, who wasn’t in the industry before getting a text that she bought you both a photo-op with someone and she wouldn’t tell you who. You couldn’t only assume it was a marvel actor that you would indeed, freak out. 

Y/b/n: btw I brought you a mask. I get the wig lol.

You: please tell me it doesn’t cover my full face. Also, how are we posing?

Y/b/n: I bought as many photo ops as I could so a lot of different ones, And if I tell you the poses it’ll spoil it.

You: is this with the money I pay you to be my assistant with? Lol fine I’m omw with security

Y/b/n: maybe… 

Y/b/n: and they’ll need more backup security for who we’re getting a photo op with than you do for your hellfire.

You roll your eyes before taking your stuff and exiting the booth, before heading out the backways with staff security and your detailed security for the day. You only had security because you wanted to explore the con when you weren’t needed.

Your best friend had also been your assistant for the con weekend, but you didn’t want her to be confined to you the whole three days so when she could, you would let her explore it, at least she could experience it as a fan, right?

When you made it to that part of the building, you wanted to wait in line with her, which your security didn’t agree to so she texted you when there were about five people ahead of her. She was one of the last in line, with you asking her to be kind, so others would get their chance to be first with whomever it was. 

When she texted you and your detailed exit, getting a few stares and others taking their phones out to either take photos or tweet, you wave at them before joining your best friend in line.

“Here,” she says before handing you none other than a black cat mask before she puts on a red wig. 

You glare at her slightly trying to not make a scene, before putting it on. 

“I’m assuming you're Mary Jane?” you laugh figuring out that it had to be someone from Spider-Man.

“How’d you- never mind.” She laughs with you.

She then explains how she’s going to pose for your five photo ops, joking in between how she should “get a raise for this”.

You catch sight of him before sucking in your breath. This was either going to go down amazingly or terribly, there was no in-between with you. 

“Excuse Me, are you Y/n Y/l/n?”

You turn around and are met by some fans who were standing in line behind you.

“I am! How’s your con going?” you ask politely to the two of them.

“It's going amazing! We love you as Thalia! Could we maybe get a picture? Only if it’s okay?”

“Of course! Thank you for supporting me!” your best friend grabs their phone to take the photo, before you take off the mask, and stand between the two fans, and your best friend snaps a few photos. 

“Thank you so much! And Are you fans of Tom?”

You start slowly walking back to catch up to the line. 

“Yeah, I love him as Spiderman, but I also enjoy his other roles. He's very talented, I'd love to work with him one day!” 

“Have you seen him in Uncharted?  We love Him as Nathan drake!”

“I have, he was amazing per usual! How are you two posing with him?”

They show you their innovative pose. You laugh and tell them it's great before you have to wish them goodbye before heading up for your turn for the photo op. 

“How do we want to pose- hang on, I recognize you!”

You freeze slightly before your friend mouths for you to flirt. You look down at the mask in your hand before getting into character and saying “Of course you do Spidey, I'm always causing you trouble.” you put on the mask and wink. 

He seems slightly stunned, laughing, feeling like he’s seen you somewhere, not only because he found you extremely gorgeous, while in his peripheral vision he sees his brother/ assistant, Harry waving like a madman on the side. 

Your friend directs you both through the poses, first, one both him putting “webs” onto you as she looks over his shoulder, the second one, both of you kissing his cheeks, the third, all jumping in the air in your best superhero poses, the fourth one she gets a photo op alone and the last one she gives to you,

“Seriously, who are you?”

“Your Wildest dreams, baby,” you say, taking off the mask. 

Your best friend yells “freestyle” from the sidelines before Tom dips you, gently, with you shocked, holding the mask out with your free arm and the photo captures that moment. 

 He gently helps you stand back up fully, not before you drop the mask.

“Nice moves Spider-Man.”

“Not so bad yourself, Black Cat.”

You laugh before, taking off with your best friend, well more her dragging you to the printing station leaving the mask behind. Tom picks it up before shoving it in his back pocket to hopefully give back if he could find you. 

-

`You were sitting in the green room, trending on Twitter before you were actually supposed to be trending on Twitter, and god knows where else.  

Someone had snuck a video of you and Tom, up till him dipping you, and a video of you interacting with the fans in the line.

Your Y/b/n was currently reading off some tweets out loud

“‘A kind queen we stan.’  I agree, I also agree with ‘Date her if you can't date me tom!!!’.

‘THALIA AND PETER PARKER??? My two fandoms have collided.’ same, same. Oo this one says, ‘if she ain’t playing black cat I will sue marvel.’ I'm dying at the reply ‘She needs to post the photos or I'll sue her!’. This one’s funny, ‘she could squash him like a bug in heels but he liked his queen like that.’.”

She pauses watching you texting.

“Y/n? Y/n?”

“What? Sorry I was only half listening. I was texting my publicist. She said to stay on the DL until tonight. 

“Well we should get food, you haven't eaten since this morning.”

“By the way, your show has shot to number one on Disney +. Also, you have like three times the followers you had before, probably cause you're trending on every platform, even Tumblr!”

“Wow you should just become my social media manager now.” you joke trying to ease the joy yet weirded out feeling in your stomach.

“Does that come with a raise? Because after today I've spent way too much of what I'm paid.” she jokes back.

-

After finishing his photo ops Tom asked Harry who she was and to find out. By the time he finished autographs for the day, Tom and Harry walked to the panel room in the back for announcements, one that included him for the new Avengers movie, while Harry gave him the rundown.

“So she’s an actress, she plays Thalia on Disney plus’ Percy Jackson series, and that's her most known project. The other girl with her is her assistant best friend, and now she's trending everywhere. People dug up some old photos of her being a marvel/Spider-Man fan, so there's that. And she's here at the con for the rest of the weekend. She's doing photo ops tomorrow at one, and yes she's single from what I gather since you were looking at her like this.” he makes a weird face before tom smacks him.

“And plus you have time in your schedule to get a photo op with her, that is if you eat lunch quickly.”

That gave Tom an idea. 

“Harry I’m going to need you to book me one, oh and help me find a Spider-Man costume!” He says, before leaving harry to do ‘assistant’ work. entering the green room for the announcements, watching them announce a new movie.

“We are so excited to announce to the Marvel Universe, and spider-verse-” that perked tom’s ears, “-directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, and today we are announcing our amazing Miss Felicia Hardy, please give a warm welcome to the stage, Your Black Cat!”

You suddenly emerged in an aisle way, dressed in all black with a leather jacket, black ankle boots, and of course black sunglasses indoors.

The music is marvel music until it suddenly changes after a recorded laugh from you into “I can’t be tamed by Miley Cyrus”.

You start owning the music while saying hi and touching fans’ hands. You decide to take off your sunglasses and throwing them to a fan, for them to keep, before getting on stage.

“What a Performance from the one the only Y/n Y/l/n!”

You laugh, being met with the loudest applause you had heard all con before being handed a Mic. 

“Thank you but I'm a terrible dancer.” You Joke.

Tom was staring at the screen stunned. You had been the black cat all along. You were in the marvel universe and spidey one,  so he'd definitely be seeing more of you. The hard part is that you seemed so genuine when you talked, interacted with fans and was no doubt, stunning. 

“Better close your mouth or the flies will get in.” Tom turns around to find the voice of none other than his friend slash bully, Sebastian Stan, along with Anthony Mackie.

“Looks like the kid has a crush!” Anthony laughs, pointing to the screen you were on.

“I-I don’t! I don’t even know her!” Tom tries to come to his own defense, hopelessly.

“She’s got you whipped already don’t even deny it.” Harry comes in, joining the teasing of one, Tom Holland.

“Maybe we can invite her out for drinks tonight, then fanboy over here can meet her, and then probably scare her off!” Anthony mentions.

“You haven’t looked on the internet? They’ve already met.” Seb says, before showing Anthony twitter. 

Anthony stands there slightly shocked before bursting into laughter.

“Well, she’s damn well a keeper for Tom since she obviously likes him.”

A staff member peaks their head in the green room to tell Tom he’s up next.

“Well, that’s my cue to leave you two!”

On the other hand, you were on an adrenaline high from being on stage, and seeing all the fans. You knew tomorrow was going to be crazy, as you expected people to book your photo op left and right since the announcement. 

You had decided to decline an offer from your fellow marvel universe castmates, Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie, which they so graciously told you that whenever you’re free, the offer still stood. 

You had gotten to your hotel room seeing your phone blowing up on the social media apps for the second time that day. 

You responded to the important stuff, before heading to bed, knowing it was going to be hectic.

-

You had been right, it was absolutely insane, the number of people who showed up. You had fully booked all your time slots for photo ops. You had seen so many people dressed up in marvel cosplay, ranging from Loki to Ironman, even some people dressed up as your character, which was wildly insane to see.

You had been nearing the end of the line and had enjoyed every moment with the fans, and you couldn’t wait for your autographing session later that day, to truly get a chance to talk to the fans and connect with them and how they felt about you being their beloved Black Cat. 

After a few more photos, posing how they wanted, you see a fully dressed, head to toe, mask and all, Spider-Man. You had seen some spider-mans but most took off their masks to snap a picture. The person was the last in line. 

“Hey Black Cat.” The southern American accented voice tells you, seeming very familiar. 

“Hey, Spider, what poses do you have up your sleeve?” you ask kindly.

“I bought a few, Cat.” they laugh.

“Okay, You can do whatever a spider can right?” you pull out a line out of the comics jokingly.

“I can do flips if that’s what you’re asking.”

“Is that some kind of nerd pick-up line? Because it’s only kind of working.” you laugh. 

“I really can, but this is one.”

He gets down on one knee, holding a black cat mask instead of a ring. The photographer captures the shocked expression on your face.

“I- Don’t- What- Spider I-” 

“Ow My feelings…” Suddenly their voice changes into a British accent before they pull off the mask to reveal-

“Tom?”

“I guess you don’t have a spidey sense darling?” The photographer captures the moment without warning eating the moment up. 

You laugh at that. 

“I guess you found out my true identity Spider. And it’s nice to officially meet you, Tom.”

He laughs, just as nervous as you, he notices he has gotten closer to you and a strand of hair loosely is blowing in your face, so naturally, he pushes it behind your ear. Another snap of the camera can be heard. 

“NOW KISS!” a voice belonging to your best friend yells from the side, mid-eating a churro.

You both laugh really hard at that.

The both of you calm down, slowly leaning lost in the moment. The camera snaps again. You both look at the photographer weirded out, and they just shrug.

“Wait can you actually do a flip?” you ask, pulling away, not wanting prying eyes aka the photographer, to pry in your business. 

“I can, though I’d show you later, maybe in the greenroom?”

“That sounds naughty, but, sure.” you joke around. 

He laughs before, you both take off from the area going to grab the photos.

-

After spending most of the day together when you could, you get Tom’s number, before heading back to your hotel room. He texts you as soon as you get back. 

Spider: I had fun today, minus finding our assistants making out.

You: we should ‘snog’ too, it’ll gross them out ;)

You: I had fun too btw. Are you leaving tomorrow?

Spider: lol we should. And yeah an early flight, 6 am to be exact. Hbu?

You: Yeah me too... another day another dollar lol

Spider: ill miss you, Cat.

You: stop talking like we’ll never see each other again lol. As a matter of fact, come to my room, we’re watching a movie!

Spider: alright, I’ll order snacks. 

  You sigh smiling at your phone. You haven’t felt this giddy in a long time.

Your phone pings with a few Instagram notifications.

Tomholland2013 has started following you.

Tomholland2013 has tagged you in a photo.

You open Instagram to find the photo of him “proposing” to you posted.

“Ow, my leg, my- feelings...Welcome to the Universe, Cat.” the photo is captioned. You decide to post, the photo of him dipping you.

“So what do you say, Spider? Wanna help me pull off the Heist of the Heist of the Century?” you caption it, Before getting comfortable to watch a movie. 

What an opportunity ;)

001 castlevania

thanks for the ask!!! as always, i talk too much about these games so here goes:

Favorite character: Always and forever Maria, particularly the child version from Rondo. Badass and cute, super fun and unique abilities, great relationships with the rest of her cast, turned Castlevania into the coolest magical girl anime you'll never see through her presence alone. An icon.

Least Favorite character: Dr. Țepeș, Genocide Enabler (Netflix). Game Lisa too just through association, even though I recognize they're not actually the same. I think if there were a wider range of opinions out there on the character, maybe I'd be more neutral, but since it mostly just seems to be me who doesn't think she's amazing I tend to complain more openly than I otherwise would.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): I'm not really a shipper, so in no order: (1) Trevor and Sypha (CV3), because it's rare for both the main character and their love interest to be vampire hunters in this series and both are cool. (2) Sara and Leon, on a pure aesthetic level because they look pretty like the rest of the LoI cast and I like how their hair colors invert "brown = Belmont, blonde = love interest" that most of the rest of the series has. (3) Carmilla/Laura, because it's canon and because a giant skull-riding vampire lady and a ninja catgirl is just the best. (4) I don't think about it much, but I guess Soma/Mina is pretty cute. (5) Elizabeth Bartley/Princess of Moths , because they're both pretty nobles that turn into monsters and they obviously know each other. It's not canon, I just made it up, but I think it's pretty good.

Character I find most attractive: ALUCARD. Runners-up: Elizabeth Bartley, Eric Lecarde, Sara Trantoul, Leon Belmont

Character I would marry: Going by looks alone, Alucard, but since he's got a lot of baggage I don't think that'd actually work out. So Eric Lecarde or John Morris, because in canon both clearly care about their families a lot.

Character I would be best friends with: Maybe Maria, but I think Yoko is more likely since she's easier to imagine as a real person you could interact with in a modern setting. She's young but kind of cynical, she faces a lot of shit from her coworkers, etc. It feels like she'd be relatable outside the context of vampire hunting.

a random thought: Ever wonder just how many wrecked Dracula's Castles there have to be in Romania in CV-verse? I think like 12-14.

An unpopular opinion: "Dracula is reincarnated-- as a teenager! In the future!" is kind of a dumb premise, and I feel like Soma is likable in spite of rather than because of that. Like it's kind of cool how he hates the concept of everyone forcing various destines upon him etc.

Also: (most) Castlevania platformers are really good. SOTN is just okay.

My Canon OTP: Trevor/Sypha I guess, though it's less me actually shipping it and more that I think it's legit interesting.

My Non-canon OTP: Alucard/whoever resulted in Leila being born. Because Leila's cool.

Most Badass Character: Simon, because he did the Castlevania thing twice, the second time as pretty much a decaying zombie. Respect.

Most Epic Villain: Elizabeth Bartley, because she's like Dracula except actually hot and not as whiny, and also started World War I. I like her snake motif and how she's animated to wield Hellfire like glowsticks at a rave.

Pairing I am not a fan of: Dracula/Lisa. Mostly because I don't like Lisa, but because I'm liking Dracula less and less too. Not because of him killing people (he's a villain, I tolerate his bullshit more than her support of it), but because I feel like pretty much every Castlevania hero is much more interesting than him. He just sits around mostly. Sometimes he turns into a monster and that's actually cool.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I feel like it was kind of a mistake to give a definitive origin story for both Dracula and the Belmont clan, even though some of the designs/concepts in LoI are cool. Some things are better left unexplained etc. etc.

Also, while it wouldn't say it's a mistake since the character as she is is awesome already, it's pretty weird how Maria's parents being murdered just like hours before she entered the castle is treated so casually.

Favourite Friendship: Maria and Richter, because they contrast so much despite having similar goals and because we actually get to see their personalities bouncing off each other in the games and official art. Same goes for Maria and Alucard. The CV3 crew doesn't get that kind of development, but you have to imagine they became really close while risking their lives together and so I like them too.

Basically I really like any CV game starring multiple characters working as a team.

Character I most identify with: Alucard because when I got into the series I could relate to the sense of feeling so overwhelmed by life/obligations that you just kinda wanna disappear. Maria because of her sense of justice. I guess the latter applies to a lot of CV characters, but Maria's one of the most outspoken about it.

Character I wish I could be: Maria seems like the most fun to be in theory because of her powers, but having your parents murdered/your brother suffering a quarter-life crisis and disappearing/your new half-vampire roommate being an asshole doesn't actually sound fun in practice. So maybe Yoko, because she has cool powers and modern conveniences and is probably Alucard's drinking buddy and (as far as we know) hasn't had any huge tragedy or crisis in her life, unlike most of the other CV heroes.

Except for the time she got stabbed. That was pretty bad.

#castlevania #srsly this is long

[words-writ-in-starlight]

okay, i'm taking that as an invitation: PLEASE post your annotations for the kencyrath playlist?

OKAY SURE TWIST MY ARM I GUESS

Actually this playlist is...long as hell, BUT there’s only like twelve people in this fandom and I’m in a group chat with half of them, so everything is here but it’s got a cut for length because my annotations are Specific.

THE BASICS (in no particular order)

Can’t Cheat Death by the Ballroom Thieves, for Jame, no further comment, I am Correct

I spilled blood in the water Then let the storm roll in I put my hands in the fire Watched my welcome wear thin Salt in my wounds and spit in my eye I burned the path you walk on And I let none survive

Thistles and Weeds by Mumford & Sons, for Torisen, who is a good leader and also falling apart

Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind

Hey Brother by Avicii, for Jame and Tori, in all ways

Hey brother, do you still believe in one another? Hey sister, do you still believe in love, I wonder? Oh, if the sky comes falling down For you, there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Human by Rag’n’Bone Man, for Kindrie Soul-walker, out of his depth and doing his best

Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind Thinking I can see through this and see what's behind Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying

Soldier, Poet, King by the Oh Hellos, for the Tyr-ridan (I have considered learning to draw SPECIFICALLY to do a comic of this song featuring Jame as the soldier, Kindrie as the poet, and Tori as the king, but I couldn’t pick a verse because it’s not a very long song)

Home to Me by Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, for Jame and Tori, which I would ALSO do a line-by-line breakdown of as a duet, because I love it for them

(Tori) How dare you love me like you've never known fear When you've got more troubles than minutes in the year (Jame) And a voice like your father's tells you nothing good's for free Well that may be, but you're walking home to me

Dear Wormwood by the Oh Hellos, the ORIGINAL Bane/Jame song, for which I could easily do a line-by-line breakdown cast as a duet between them, the song that I, personally, would set over their last conversation before Bane’s death and over Jame’s flight from the palace, if I was making a TV series, just, you know, if anyone wants to kick me a couple million bucks

I know who I am now And all that you've made of me I know who you are now And I name you my enemy

Glitter & Gold by Barns Courtney, for the Kendar, survivors to the last

Do you walk in the valley of kings? Do you walk in the shadow of men Who sold their lives to a dream? Do you ponder the manner of things In the dark?

Delilah by Florence + the Machine, for Jamethiel Dreamweaver, the first unfallen darkling, the finest weapon and cruelest victim of the Master’s schemes, and for her daughter, who saw more and ran faster

Too fast for freedom Sometimes it all falls down These chains never leave me I keep dragging them around

We Have It All by Pim Stones, for Tyrandis, just...listen to it, I’m right

There's glory ahead, but our love will be forgotten If my heart was still mine, I would go to the bottom And apologise to you until the day it went rotten

Mercy Down by Shayfer James, which is THE definitive song for the entire Kencyrath--half-desperate for their missing destiny, half-terrified of that destiny when it shows up at their door.

It’s getting mythical now You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down

THE EXTENDED STUFF (loosely sorted by topic)

Control by Halsey, for Jame, heir to the Dreamweaver, Snare-of-Souls, and learning to dance and running away

They sent me away to find them a fortune A chest filled with diamonds and gold The house was awake, with shadows and monsters The hallways, they echoed and groaned

Little Boy by Barns Courtney, for Torisen holding the bones of a little girl who died at the same age as his long lost twin sister

Little boy inside my chest Breathe some life into my bones I've been lost and wandering Down and out and missing home

The Draw by Bastille, for Torisen and the shade of Ganth and the promise of madness on a sleepless night

Don't listen to your friends See the despair behind their eyes Don't listen to your friends They only care and want to know why

Carry Your Throne by Jon Bellion, for Jame and Tori at their best, kissing in the ashfall and dancing in Tentir

Two crowns and a gold cup And they're coming for the throne, love But if your heart is a dog fight Then I'm ready to go to war like

Coming Down by Halsey, for Jame and the twin she loves, who is always, always running away from her

Every single night pray the sun will rise Every single time make a compromise Every single night pray the sun will rise, but It's coming down, down, coming down

Graveyard by Halsey, for Jame and Tori and dreams and the soulscape and running and chasing and trying

I keep running when both my feet hurt I won't stop 'til I get where you are Oh, when you go down all your darkest roads I woulda followed all the way to the graveyard

Thick as Thieves by Shinedown, for Jame and Tori, who can barely have a civil conversation but still manage to be each other’s answer to the concept of ‘home’

Evidently, we can't work it out I guess that courage ain't allowed Evidently, you're not in the mood And everything I say just bothers you

The Horror of Our Love by Ludo, for Bane and Jame, and blood and binding, and shadows crossing continents

I'm a killer, cold and wrathful Silent sleeper, I've been inside your bedroom I've murdered half the town Left you love notes on their headstones I'll fill the graveyards until I have you

Irresistible by Fall Out Boy, for Bane in Tai-tastigon, a prince of the city and a monster in his beloved’s kitchen

Too many war wounds and not enough wars Too few rounds in the ring and not enough settled scores Too many sharks, not enough blood in the waves You know I give my love a four letter name

Hellfire by Barns Courtney, for Bane, giving your soul to the wrong person, and the Lower Town

Run in an alleyway Through a dead end street Murdering promises That I just can't keep

Punch Drunk Grinning Soul by Flogging Molly, for all the Kendar who keep surviving disasters while their people fall all around them, and especially for Marc and Brier

But these tired eyes are crashing down on me While the paint never dries on these four walls that now suffocate me But tonight, maybe tonight all will be free

Sleepsong by Bastille, for soulscapes and locked doors and armor and hidden gardens and a whole race with a collective unconscious who still manage to be awfully lonely

Oh, in the strangest dreams, walking by your side It is the hole you impose upon your life When you're out, loneliness, it crawls up in the ground It's what you feel, but can't articulate out loud

Bad Decisions by Bastille, for Tentir and all the children there who thought they were immortal

Do you remember what you said to me? 'Cause we lost track of time Yeah, we lost track of time You always let me down so tenderly So live fast and die young and stay forever numb 

For The Departed by Shayfer James, for every Kendar who’s ever sold a soul, broken under Honor’s Paradox, died in service, and gone unremembered

So dry your eyes and count to ten They'll have me on the pyre by then Forget the man I used to be You'll move along more easily

Bones by MS MR, for death banners, and for the dead of Kithorn, and for Dalis-sar, depending on my mood

Dig up her bones but leave the soul alone Let her find a way to a better place Broken dreams and silent screams Empty churches with soulless curses We found a way to escape the day

I Am Stretched On Your Grave by Dead Can Dance, for sisterkin, for the massacre of the Knorth women, but especially for Brenwyr and her ghost and her maledight madness

Calling out to the air With tears both hot and wild Oh I grieve for the girl That I loved as a child

NFWMB by Hozier, for Brenwyr and Aerulan (and could be for Jame and Tori but he’s, you know, an ostrich with his head buried in his own trauma)

Ain't it a gentle sound, the rolling in the graves? Ain't it like thunder under earth, the sound it makes? Ain't it exciting you, the rumble where you lay? Ain't you my baby, ain't you my baby?

Church by Fall Out Boy, for everyone who’s ever fallen in love with Jame, from Dally to Torisen

Oh, the things that you do in the Name of what you love You are doomed but just enough

Renegades by X Ambassadors, for the good times in Tai-tastigon with Dally and Canden

It's our time to make a move It's our time to make amends It's our time to break the rules Let's begin

Breath of Life by Florence + the Machine, for everyone who’s ever fallen to the Knorth glamour and paid dearly for it

But I needed one more touch Another taste of heavenly rush And I believe, I believe it's so

#kencyrath #chronicles of the kencyrath #jame priests bane #torisen black lord #kindrie soul walker #and...everyone else basically. eventually. #i have BIG thoughts about some of these (like dear wormwood and home to me and hey brother. just as a sample.) #and others (like punch drunk grinning soul) i just threw on there because I Vibed With It #THERE'S NO SYSTEM except also the system is elaborate #i certainly can't explain it either way #this was a delightful way to cruise comfortably down off a day of hyperfocus #i love these books so much #i love the music i put together for them #it all just FEELS very on point to me personally #AND IN A FANDOM THIS SMALL WHAT ELSE MATTERS #well actually in any fandom what else matters #i think i am losing focus here #a queue we shall keep and our honor someday avenge #smallblueandloud #asked and answered

Hello! I love your work! Could I possibly please get an Eddie x popular!reader who knows absolutely barely nothing about dnd apart from it’s a game and it’s got dice. Like she’s supportive of him having his interests and hobbies and everything and wouldn’t say a bad word about it but knows nothing about it and isn’t into it herself. I don’t mind what happens in the story I just always read ones where the reader is part of hellfire or knows all about dnd and I know nothing as it’s not really my thing! If you could make the reader opinionated and sarcastic as well that would be my dream as I am a far cry from the sunshine and rainbows readers I always read! Thank you so much!! It’s absolutely okay if not as well!! :)

Request by anon ❤

Warnings; Fluff, No Vecna in this story, except in Eddie's D&D campaign ;)

"I think I could stay like this forever," she says cuddling into her boyfriend Eddie who smiles pressing a gentle kiss to her hair.

"We could princess? Call in sick and maybe we could just stay in bed all weekend?" he asks mischievously.

She smirks.

"Uh, I think your sheeples at Hellfire would have something to say about that baby" he sighs.

"Shit! yeah can't miss tonight sweetheart, we are knee-deep in a tournament including Vecna, it's so cool babe. Gonna be a rough tournament for the boys"

She feels a little tug in her stomach, not really versed in D&D and the lore she struggled to keep up with what he talked about but regardless he knew that and she was always supportive of his hobbies.

Sometimes she did worry that he would prefer a girl who was into D&D and understood everything he said.

"What's wrong princess?" he notices the look on her face and she pouts.

"Eddie, do you ever wish for a girlfriend who's into D&D and knows about it all and isn't completely clueless about it?"

She tries to hide how much it bothers her, she rarely feels insecure in this relationship, Eddie loves her as much as she loves him and treated her like a queen but this is a worry that's been lingering for a while now.

"Why would I want that when I have the most amazing girl already? I love you sweetheart and we have a lot in common, we both love horror movies, you love Metallica and Iron Maiden, you got me into Queen and they are fucking awesome. We both love reading and a lot more"

She relaxes and snuggles back into his arms.

"We don't have to have all the same interests princess it would be boring after a while if we did. I like that we are into different things, I don't know shit about Cheerleading but I know it's awesome and you work super hard and love it so it's important to me"

Her heart swells at his sweetness and she kisses him.

"God, you're disgustingly sweet" he laughs and she finally gets up groaning at the chilly air.

It was well into Autumn now and it was very chilly in Hawkins.

"You know I think we can skip one day after all don't you?" He whoops.

"Absolutely" then he pulls her back into bed and wraps his arms around her.

"But we have to go to Hellfire princess, can you stay and watch? You're my good luck charm" he pouts and she giggles.

"How can I resist those eyes and that pout" his big brown eyes were her weakness and he knew it.

"Fine, fine... Can I sit on your throne?" he grins.

"Baby, I love you but it's my throne, I'm the Dungeon Master". She frowns.

"But you weren't complaining about me sitting on it when I surprised you that time and took you to Hellfire early and we played Dungeon Master and his Mistress" she bats her eyes and he gets a glazed look on his face and grins at the memory.

"We really need to do that again sweetheart". she nods eagerly and relents.

"Fine, you can sit on it until I set up the campaign".

❤

Hellfire arrives quicker than she expects and then she and Eddie brace the chilly air to get to the Drama Club.

While he sets up quickly she takes a seat and Dustin and Mike are the first to arrive then Lucas.

"Hey, how come she can sit on your throne?" Mike complains.

"Because I am his adorable albeit sarcastic yet loving girlfriend Wheeler," she tells him with a smirk.

Eddie looks up annoyed.

"Do you have a problem with my girl sitting there butthead?" Mike splutters and shakes his head.

Dustin rolls his eyes at Mike and Dustin hugs her as Lucas shows her the new trainers he got for playing basketball.

She'd never admit it but Dustin, Lucas and Mike were her favourites in Hellfire, they were like her little brothers and she adored them, which meant she also loved teasing them along with Eddie.

"Princess, I need my throne now. Got to get to work" he tells her as the others arrive.

She might not know much about Hellfire but she sure does love watching Eddie play. He was so focused and intense and it made her stomach flutter with butterflies.

It also made her want to pounce on him but she would save that for when they were back home. It was just very hot watching him when he was in his element as The Dungeon Master.

He's so focused and magnetic that even she was enchanted by the story he was weaving.

She smiles when a character he's created, which he told her was based on her comes up.

An Elven princess, who could weave magic and heal injuries and had a wicked, sharp tongue.

Damn straight she thinks grinning as she hears the description and he briefly comes out of character to wink at her.

Once the session winds down with great victory for the team Eddie approaches her and pulls her in for a kiss.

"Told you that you were my lucky charm princess, now let's get home and continue our lazy weekend yeah? I'm thinking mac and cheese and you for dessert yeah?" he raises an eyebrow.

"You sure do know a way to a girl's heart, Munson, come on" she takes his hand and leads him to his van ready for the weekend.
