I don’t know if I’ll ever reach my goal to publish a proper rewrite on Ao3, bc my brain isn’t suited to long-form writing, but in the meantime I’ve been jotting down scenes and snippets I think of, and I wanna share some already

Takes place during 1-4, in my AA HDM AU

"Well, I guess we should…" Phoenix stopped. The room was rumbling.

"W-what's that?!" He asked, startled.

"E-earthquake! Nick! It's a big one!"

"Thea? Thea!" Anne shouted, fluttering against the partition, "Phoenix, something's wrong!"

Phoenix looked and saw she was right. Alethea was writhing on the table, and Edgeworth was out of sight.

For a few terrifying moments they stayed like that, unable to do anything but try to stay upright. Then…

"I-it's calming down…" Maya said, and she was right. The shakes lessened, then stopped.

"Whew! That was scary!" Maya's voice was relieved, but Phoenix's heart was still filled with fear.

"Where's Edgeworth?" Phoenix asked, peering around the other side of the room.

"Phoenix! Phoenix, she's not moving anymore, why isn't she moving!" Anne all but threw herself at the partition, flitting, trying to get as close to Alethea as she could. "I have to help her, please, I can't, I can't get to her!"

"There!" Maya spotted him. "He's on the floor in a ball, shivering."

"I guess he doesn't do so well with earthquakes," Hansuke said.

Phoenix worried again at that. (I've heard of running, but curling up in a ball?) "E-excuse me? Officer? Could I–?"

"Sorry, sir, civilians aren't allowed back here."

"Phoenix!"

"Could you at least check on him?"

The guard nodded, walking over as Edgeworth stopped shaking.

"It seems he's passed out, sir. Wie'll get them to the infirmary."

Phoenix sighed in relief.

"Alright, thank you."

"Anne." Phoenix scooped up his frantic daemon and cradled her to his chest. "They'll be okay. We should go."

"Phoenix…" she ducked her head down close. He stroked her feathers gently. "They never… never before… she's hurting, Phoenix, and I can't…"

"The best we can do for them is build up our case, okay? We'll come back, Anne, I promise…"

"Nick?"

"Let's go, Maya. We're done here, for now."

𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐲, 𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐲

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 || 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞

𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 : Dealer!Ellie Williams x Reader

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 : trying her best to get you back and getting her act cleaned up, the one person that Ellie doesn’t want to ever see again shows up deciding to cause some madness.

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 : Seline. Mentions of drugging drinks, one homophobic slur aimed at you and Ellie, mentions of violence, Ellie being uncomfortable, blood, description of Injury, implied r!pe but nothing explicit

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 : I just realized the proper spelling of Seline is - Selene bc her name is (Sea-lee-n-ee-n) oh well- hope not to many though it was (see-line). Also part of chapter five will be this chapter but from your perspective. You’ll see what I mean once you read

With every step Seline took, Ellie backed away until Seline had made it into the dorm and had Ellie against the wall, her fingers gracing Ellies arms. They glided along her skin, over her tattoo and reaching up to her biceps. But before she could cup Ellies face the woman pushed Seline back harshly. “Get the fuck off me!” Ellie spat. Seline stumbled backward, her heels scuffing against the vinyl floor and her back hit the wall with a thud but she didn’t fall to the ground.

“I told you at the party that I wasn’t interested in you! And that still hasn’t changed!”

When Seline looked back up that sweet seductive demeanor was gone, replaced with a mean glare. She reminded Ellie of a Coral Snake. At first glance you’d think it was just a harmless Scarlet Kingsnake that had trodden across your path, but when you got close enough it’d strike at your ankle.

That's how Seline was, Ellie thought she was just another drunken girl trying to get into her pants but it was the exact opposite. Seline was sober, she knew what she was doing and she got what she wanted.

“You drugged my drink! You took advantage of me while I was in that state!” Ellie yelled, her voice growing more broken and tears started to well. “And because of that— because— because of you I lost that one good thing in my life. The one thing that was keeping me together, making sure I didn’t lose myself! Now she’s gone!”

The tear line of her eyes overflowed and the drops started to roll freely down her cheeks. It was the first time she had cried since that day that you came to her dorm and found Seline.

The blonde scoffed at the sight, watching Ellie slide down the wall and hide her face in her hands with her knees pulled up to her chest. Ellie was trying to make herself as small as possible in hopes that she’d disappear.

“Oh please don’t be such a baby about it.” Seline growled, “Drugged or not you kept whining her name over and over again, you even called me that skank's name on the way here! You mistook me for her.” Her voice then became an octave higher mockery lacing her tone as she repeated your name over and over again. “And here I thought you were so loyal to her.” Seline sneered, getting down on one knee and grasping Ellie’s jaw forcing the girl to look up. “Now look at you. In the same position with the same girl.”

Ellie’s breathing labored, feeling Seline’s thumb rub across her lower lip. She knew that she could easily over power Seline and throw her off as if she was nothing. But she was frozen in place, feeling helpless.

Seline’s breath fanned Ellie’s face and the girl closed her eyes tightly. But just before Seline’s lips could touch Ellies there was a loud ‘blam’ followed by a thud and Seline was on the floor, a shadow now looming over Ellie.

“Get the fuck off of her.”

Ellie looked up in shock to find you standing there, fists clenched and teeth gritting. Did you just do that? She looked over at Seline who pushed herself up onto her hand and knees, her free hand massaging the side of her face. Did you just kick her?! Ellie didn’t have time to process what was happening because two strong hands came up from the side of her guiding her to her feet and out the door where Dina was waiting. “Wait wait wait! What about her!” The dealer started to panic watching as the person who pulled her out, which turned out to be Jesse, closed the door behind him, leaving you and Seline in the dorm.

Ellie started to panic, her mind filling with white noise and her body started to shake. Even outside of the living space with the door closed she could hear the yells and even a few thuds. There was a practically loud slam near the door that snapped Ellie out of her thoughts and she could feel Dina holding her, her words now filtering through all the garbled noise in her ears.

“Breathe Ellie, breathe,” Dina gently soothed, rubbing her arms trying to keep her grounded. The girls looked up hearing Jesse boots clunk closer to the door. He put his ear against it for a few moments then pulled away with a frown. He must have heard something concerning because Jesse reached down, grasping the doorknob in his hand with the intent to open it. But before he could, the door was snatched back away from him, slamming against the wall, this time denting the wood slightly. Everyone turned their attention to the now open doorway to find you standing there. You were panting slightly, obviously out of breath, your hair was a frizzy mess as if someone had tried to yank it from your scalp. But your fists, oh your fists were busted and bruised, with warm red blood oozing from their contusions. A deep bite was also starting to show on your forearm and a deep purple bruise has started to crawl up from the corner of your jaw to the plush of your cheek.

“So— did ja’ win?” Jesse asked with a nervous chuckle but you just ignored him, wiping off the blood that was dribbling down your blood and onto your lips. From what Ellie could make out as you walked out of the doorway was Seline in a similar state to you as she struggled to get up. When she did, she grabbed her purse and stiletto and hobbled out of the room looking like she had gone through a tornado.

As she came by she stopped in front of Ellie, out of breath and in a much worse state than you had been in. “Y’know what Williams? Enjoy your fucking animal you fucking dyke.” Seline then spat at your shoes, the saliva splattering on the white toes of your hightops. Jesse watched your fists clench once more and he quickly grabbed a fist full of your shirt to keep you from lunging. The four of you then proceeded to watch her limp down the hallway, neither of you dared to breathe until Seline had gotten into the elevator and the sliding doors came together with a ding.

Ellie let a deep sigh escape her, relief washing over like a wave. She went over to you only to find your cold glare was now focused on her and that anxiety returned tenfold. Even after all that had just happened, were you still mad? Deep down she understood, you didn’t know the full story and even if you did it didn’t make it right.

Seeing Ellie look away from you in shame, your eyes softened some and you bit your bottom lip wondering what to do. You knew what you needed to do but it wasn't ideal. Holding back a groan you turned to Jesse and Dina. “Look, Jess, Dee, just go get some sleep, I’ll stay here and take care of Ellie.” Jesse and Dina exchanged looks of surprise. “Are you sure?” Jesse questioned, “I don’t want to just leave you here after—” you raised your hand to cut him off. “We need to talk and I feel like I’m about to collapse, titts caught me in the head with her fucking hotpink heel.”

Ellie’s eyes wiped slightly, noticing the crimson patch collecting in your hair and dripping down the side of your face. It was obvious Jesse was concerned about leaving you. Your brother sister bond came first over anything, that was the promise you had made to each other back in middle school. The other would come before anything, regardless of the situation you were in. “Okay but if that gets much worse,” he pointed to the wound on your hairline, “you call an ambulance. And if that starts anything,” he pointed to Ellie not breaking eye contact with you, “you call me. Got it?” You nodded slightly, “Got it.”

Jesse sighed, his shoulders slumping a bit and he pulled you forward into a hug, embracing for a few moments before Dina stole him away, leading him down the hallway to the elevator. When the elevator let out a ding it announced that you and Ellie were finally alone. Ellie looked at you hesitantly, not knowing what to stay or do next.

You didn't try to touch her or even come any closer, you just slowly made your way to the door, praying to whoever might be listening that you didn't fall.

“Cm’on.” You sighed, rubbing your throbbing head, “We gotta talk.”

Nothing is ever going to be funnier to me than the time, early in our relationship, that @natalieironside and I got in a minor argument over what a king snake looked like, only to find out after looking it up that we were both correct and there are multiple kinds of king snake.

(I was thinking of a scarlet king, which are native to my home region but not to hers. She was thinking of an eastern black kingsnake, which are native to both our home regions but less common in mine.)

I could probably spin this into some sort of teachable metaphor about considering other perspectives in order to resolve conflict, but mostly I just think it's funny that Natalie and I are such snake nerds that snake taxonomy is what one of our early-relationship arguments was about. I was convinced she just didn't know her snakes. She was convinced I didn't know mine. We were both very annoyed by our partner's perceived lack of snake facts, and wound up learning even more about snakes together as a result.

One day we will have a pet snake and it will be our sweet precious baby angel. <3

(ID in alt text)

florida keeps dropping "scarlet kingsnakes" in everybody's mug and wonders why people aren't laughing

snake psa below the break

Fun fact: Coral snakes (a member of elapidae, meaning they're closely related to taipans/cobras/kraits etc) are actually very chill! They're SO chill, in fact, that it's rare for hospitals to have the proper antivenom in stock, because people don't tend to get bitten by them. As a general rule, try to be hesitant about handling what you think is some kind of coral mimic.

Also, the red/black/jack, red/yellow/kill-a-fellow rhyme only works in the US & northern mexico, generally speaking- elapids and mimics in Southern Mexico and beyond (M. diastema in Mexico, M. isozonus in Venezuela, etc) follow different patterns. Be aware of what venomous sp. look like in your area!

In any case, corals don't want to bite you. In fact, because you- presuming you are in fact a human and not a sentient mouse or frog that has learned to use the Internet- are so huge, no venomous snake wants to bite you, as you would be too large to fit in their stomach. Snakes bite when they feel threatened. Sometimes, this threatening is on accident (stuck hand in wrong place while hiking, picking up firewood, accidentally stuck foot somewhere, etc). However, a number of snake bites are because someone was being stupid and harassing the animal.

Just. Don't mess with snakes, y'all. They don't want to mess with you, either. I promise.

#welcome to the table #wttt florida #wttt #If anyone wants advice on how to ID their local venomous snakes I would be happy to oblige assuming I'm familiar with the region #Generally though in the US it'll either be corals or a pit viper and pit vipers are CHUNKY.#This gets them confused with watersnakes a lot #And hognoses sometimes (which is why hognoses do the Cobra Thing iirc)#snakes #snake tw #coral snake tw #coral snake #(does that do anything?

Daemon Au Fic Recs

Daemon aus are fics where the characters have animal daemons a la The Golden Compass.

This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)

One piece

Like Cats and Dogs by PitViperOfDoom - Rated G

It should be easy to judge a man by the shape of his soul, but Strawhat Luffy spits in the face of logic and predictability.

Merlin

Feather and Fang by 0hHeyThereBigBadWolf - Rated T

Everyone knows that magic users have magic dæmons. Creatures of myth and legend. Some appear normal but have hides in unnatural colours. It's a way to pick them out of a crowd, find them, even when they try to hide in plain sight.

Star Wars

The Road Less Traveled By by Triskellion - Rated T

“Padwan, there are Mandalorians in Mos Espa.” Obi-Wan rolled his eyes. He knew what that meant. “What is left before we can leave?” “Collect the boy and the parts. The handmaiden can guide you.” And of course his master signed off before telling him where to meet Padme. “Couldn’t he try being subtle for once?” Seab-hoc asked plaintively from Obi-Wan’s shoulder. “Qui-Gon has never been subtle a day in his life,” Obi-Wan countered. Which was why his master’s soul had settled on one of the largest, flashiest forms in the whole karking Order.

Daredevil

In Nomine Diaboli by WerewolvesAreReal - Rated T

Sometimes Matt wonders what it would be like to take his daemon out with him in public. He hasn't been able to do it for twenty years.

Stranger Things

a plain and indestructible thing by phonemicengineer - Rated T

“This is us, huh?” Steve asks her, reaching out to lay a hand between her ears. His face aches, and she has a bit of blood matted in the fur around her left eye; matching wounds. There’s black ichor and gore coated up her muzzle and down her ruff, and when she opens her mouth her teeth are large and wicked looking. “Do you even have to ask?” she mutters, leaning her full weight against him.

Red Touches Black by Sparkle_Fiend - Rated M

"Red touches black, poison lack. Red touches yellow, kill a fellow." A silly rhyme, to help remember the difference between a harmless kingsnake and a deadly coral snake. Wayne taught it to him when he was fourteen, and Calpurnia settled in the form of a scarlet kingsnake. Given the way people recoil when they see his daemon, he's pretty sure no one else in Hawkins has ever heard it before. Or maybe it doesn't matter - maybe Eddie is the one they think is toxic. **** Vecna is defeated, Max is saved, and Eddie's name has been cleared. All should be right in the world of Hawkins, and Eddie's only concern should be his inconvenient crush on Steve Harrington. But there are people who still think Eddie is guilty of murder, and they're not willing to let it go.

Our Flag Means Death

it's what isn't in the name by tciddaemina - Rated M

The first thing they see - apart from Captain Bonnet himself, all silked up and frilly and a sight in his own right - is the cat sitting primly by his ankles. She's a white, well-groomed thing, coat as pale and smooth as snow, with a delicate pink ribbon around her neck and a little golden bell hanging at her throat. And sure, she's a little big, on the large side as house cats go, reaching right up to his knee, and a bit leggy as well but the crew still takes one look at her and feel their estimation of their new captain drop another sharp couple of notches. This, they think incredulously, is the man that proposes to be our fearsome pirate captain? "My name is Captain Stede Bonnet," the new captain says proudly, sweeping an arm out in greeting, looking so pleased and chuffed and ever so slightly nervous to meet them. "And this is Miss Daisy Bonnet, though of course you may all call her captain as well." "Two dubloons on a mutiny by the end of the week." Frenchie murmurs with a sharp bite of mirth. On his shoulder, Beauregard lets out a soft tittering laugh, the songbird's beak clicking. "Not taking that bet." Pete replies snappishly, still glowering sullenly at the captain.

Top Gun

I see parachutes by Amethyste_Blanche - Not Rated

I see parachutes These words spin in Rooster head like a curse. Or Rooster's POV during his fight with Maverick

Guardians of the Galaxy

Less Than Zero by Tyranno - Rated G

In 1988, following his mother's death, a young Peter Quill is abducted from Earth by the Ravagers, a group of space pirates led by Yondu Udonta. They leave his Daemon behind by mistake.

welcome to the human race by smilebackwards - Rated G

Once Peter made it through the seizures and shudders and shakes, his first thought was that he’d been abducted by witches. Dozens of different faces—blue and red and ridged—hovered over him, forcing tasteless food down his throat, and there wasn’t one daemon in sight.

Labyrinth (1986)

Glitter and Gold by speckled_dragon - Rated G

AU where humans have daemons but denizens of the Labyrinth do not.

My Hero Academia

Just Breathe by wolfsrainrules - Rated T

When Izuku turned four, he showed an Inclination towards Healing Class Magic. The strongest seen in decades. Naturally he decides this means he should be a combat medic.

Jurassic World

Connect the Dots by dinosaurs_wowenough (loki_godofmischiefandlies) - Rated M

Everyone has an animal, it's common knowledge. Some cultures call them Familiars, others call them Daemons, some are referred to as Spirit Animals, but one thing is indisputable: they are more valuable to their humans than life itself.

Teen Wolf

The Snake and the Otter by Therapeutic_Steter - Rated T

When Stiles was born, a black snake appeared into his crib on the first full moon and never left.

Claudia, whose soulmate animal was a lion, hadn't even flinched, smiling and cooing at the little snake in welcome. It flicked its tongue at her, beady eyes sparking blue, and let Claudia gently stroke it's head. John, whose soulmate animal was a bear, just shook his head, wondering at what kinds of trouble his son and his soulmate would get in to.
