Sundown: Chapter 6

WC: 1,1K

Relationship: SwissAlps

“No,” Mounty gasps, finally realizing. He scared her. “Swiss, no, that’s not–it can’t be–”

Read chapter 1 here or on AO3.

Read chapter 6 under the cut or on AO3.

It took five months for Swiss’ past to catch up to him.

He knew it would—sooner rather than later, knowing his luck—but he really thought he would have more time to…come up with a plan. Anything, he would do anything to avoid more heartbreak, he had promised himself. And yet he failed at a simple task of being honest.

Life just never seems to have any mercy in store for him, so why would he even have hope?

It’s a busy evening in Mounty’s bar; it’s warm—the most important reason—but the word cozy also comes to mind. Even despite the spiderwebs, broken furniture and a distant smell of rotten wood. There are flowers, though, all year long, so very clearly Mounty’s touch. It’s her home and she loves it as it is—which makes Swiss love it, too—and such an atmosphere is inviting.

The cowboy is, as usual, hanging out by the bar, watching his girl work. She’s happy, he’s happy and it’s all good, until he hears a name he has been praying for months not to hear ever again.

“He ain’t so scary anymore!” a man from the other side of the bar laughs, and the people surrounding him follow. “He was a cunt, no idea where he got all that reputation from. The mighty Shadow nearly pissed himself!”

Another wave of booming laughter sounds and it hurts Swiss’ eardrums. He tenses, hands going clammy around the glass he’s holding, and listens in, despite his better judgment.

“He’s been hiding like a coward for months after that one failed heist, from what I’ve heard,” the man continues. “Snatched a chance when he peaked his ugly head out and now the bitch is done!”

Swiss’ blood boils and freezes in his veins at the same time. Mounty doesn’t notice; she’s too busy, and the man is grateful. The stranger in the corner keeps laughing with his companions as he insults the infamous Shadow and gloats about something he most definitely didn’t do.

Of course he didn’t.

Swiss doesn’t know what makes him snap. He only notices that he stood up when he feels the pulse of a man he’s holding against the wall by his neck under his hand.

“Swiss!” he hears Mounty call from behind the bar. The whole place is so quiet all of a sudden. “Let him go!”

The cowboy chokes the stranger slowly for a bit longer, staring into his terrified eyes. If he…if he actually were to finish off the Shadow, he would be the one to piss himself. He is about to prove it.

“You’re the cunt here,” he mutters before letting go.

Swiss storms off without sparing a glance in anyone’s direction again, not even Mounty. He all but runs out of the saloon and behind it, into the cold and dark where he sits on the wet ground and hangs his head. His eyes sting and he wants to just cry, but he can’t. He ran out of tears a long time ago.

He hears the squeak of the saloon’s batwing door and the shuffle of its additional covering that they have put on for the cold nights and he prays to anyone who’s willing to listen that it’s not–

“Swiss, darling,” Mounty whispers and the tone of it the–the fear in it breaks the man’s heart in half. He scared her. 

He scared her.

He doesn’t reply, he can’t speak; it’s like there’s something lodged in his throat. Shame, most likely.

Despite her visible apprehension, the barmaid comes closer. She crouches by Swiss and just…waits. She waits for whatever may happen and she looks determined to do so for however long it may take.

He scared her.

Swiss simply breathes for a while before he dares to open his mouth again, “The–the Shadow. What do you know about…him?”

“Just the rumors,” Mounty shrugs, doing her very best to seem unbothered; casual about the whole ordeal, “but I don’t think I’d like to meet him. That won’t be a problem, though, ‘cause apparently he’s dead. Nobody’s seen him or heard of him for months and that man that you just…”

“He’s not dead,” Swiss interrupts—too sharp, too loud. He immediately hates himself for it, even more than he already did. 

He scared her.

“How do you know?” she asks, much quieter.

The man swallows audibly against that mysterious something that’s suffocating him, “How many months do you think it’s been since…since he was last seen?”

“Hm…” The barmaid thinks for a moment, counting silently. “Something like five, probably. 

Swiss chuckles sadly, locking his eyes on Mounty’s. He doesn’t speak—doesn’t explain—but he doesn’t need to. She’s a smart girl, and the sorrow, regret and shame in Swiss’ eyes are speaking louder and clearer than he ever could.

“No,” Mounty gasps, finally realizing.

He scared her.

“Swiss, no, that’s not–it can’t be–”

“I’m sorry, sweetheart,” is all he can say. He should have so much more to say, beg for forgiveness, but he can’t. He knows he doesn’t deserve it, that this is simply too big.

He gives up.

Mounty’s thoughts are racing, her breathing picks up, and her eyes widen. She’s an image of pure horror as she connects more and more dots. Swiss feels like throwing up.

“I’ve been…for months I’ve been dating–I’ve been sleeping with the world’s most famous criminal, I’ve–I’ve been…” she rambles, more to herself than the man. His whole body hurts. “I’m–I’m in love with the world’s most famous murderer.”

He scared her.

“Sweetheart, please, just–just hear me out, gimme a chance to explain before…” before he leaves, he wanted to say, because there is nothing else that can be done. He has to get the fuck out and away from her, from the most precious creature on the entire planet. One that he stained with his touch, with his lies. No hands that have so much blood on them should ever be allowed to touch something as pure as Mounty.

Thankfully, she doesn’t let him finish, “Explain what? That you lied to me and put on a whole ass fake personality to just…to just what, exactly?”

“It’s not like that, I just–” Swiss tires, but he’s not sure what it is that he’s trying to do. “I was running away! The Shadow…me, I–it’s not me, Mounty, please, let me–”

He scared her.

“Maybe I will,” she spits. “But certainly not now.”

“Momo, please,” the man falters and he’s about to fall to his knees and grab onto the barmaid’s feet and beg when she moves away. “Please, don’t be scared of me.”

“Too late, Shadow.” Mounty leaves him there, out in the cold darkness.

And Swiss finally cries.

Not to be a pretentious fuck or anything but I usually really hate talking about Subnautica with people despite it being one of my all time favourite games because a lot of the time it's just,,, oh okay the developers lovingly crafted an entire alien planet with incredibly beautiful flora and fauna that had a lot of thought put into the evolutionary niche every living creature fills and how every piece of this ecosystem interacts with each other. All done with the express goal of being a nonviolent game that encourages the player to study and appreciate the beauty in the world around them and convey the idea that humans aren't the center of the universe and we should lessen our impact on our environments as much as possible. And all you can talk about is how everything is weird and scary and how much you want to kill it and how you're mad that you can't terraform and destroy more stuff and think the 'combat' is terrible and wish you would get a better reward for finally killing those reapers!!!

Hell! I don't know if it's been asked before but do y'all have different movies that are your faves and if so what are they and if not what's the over all fave?

A lot of us have the same favorite movies!! overall, we don't watch movies very much, but i will say we do really enjoy the movie Eraserhead!!! A few of us (Adam and Cecil) are obsessed with Dracula (1931) or other old vampire movies. Our littles all really enjoy old disney movies/the spongebob movies. -Cadaver⚰️

Continuation of what I've dubbed the "cornchip comic"; Terzo was just trying to warn him... sort of. (part one here)

Special who's super anxious to be regressed around anyone?

Absolutely I can do that!! Lil guy Special and Cg Cowbell thoughts below<33

Cw/tw?: none!! Just Anxious Spec!! (With a hint of my DID cowbell headcanon)

Okay starting off Cowbell would be super patient with him, taking their time to work things out with Special and working out a schedule for the both of them. If Special had a bad day, Cowbell would be right by his side ready to baby him and make him feel small.

He'd need loads of reassurance from Bell as he's nervous he's too much for the ghoul to handle, but with the right words Special is little in no time. He would constantly be asking if he's too much, always wondering if he's bothering the big ghoul with how small he is.

But Cowbell loves it and loves to handle the little, Cowbell switches a lot since everyone from his system loves to handle little Special and is always ready and happy to reassure the little ghoul that he isn't too much for them to handle.

Special anxiously bites his nails so Bell has a teether for the little ghoul to bite on so he doesn't hurt himself, it's a little cow, Special said it reminded him of Bell so he got it. Special loves it and it's always in his mouth, or in his hands.

Cowbell knows that Special is anxious when regressing so their door is always locked so Special has free reign to do whatever he pleases, which usually consists of cuddling up to Bell and watching finding Nemo for the upteenth time.

Special is still nervous to use little gear like pacifiers and bottles and sippy cups, but Cowbell has them on hand at all times and is ready to give them to Spec whenever he needs and is ready. Special's favorite pacifier is a decorated one that has a bear in the middle with the words "small cub." On it.

When it's bedtime Cowbell once again reassures Special and praises him for being so brave during it, they lay in bed with a pacifier in Special's mouth and they cuddle til they're both asleep.

Hope this is what you wanted!! Thank you for asking<33

Chain Ghoul headcanons because he’s criminally underrated

(Some of these are based on this fic I wrote last December)

~He was the first ghoul summoned by Primo and they are therefor not only very close but Chain is extremely loyal to him

~Although he’s one of the oldest ghouls, he’s got a very young spirit. He loves dancing, wresting other ghouls and playing around the way they do

~He can be quite deadpan but he’s a genuine guy

~His summoning didn’t go entirely right, which is why he could only be part of the band for a short amount of time. The reason he wears a the literal metal chain is because he usually helps out with other’s summonings, trying to prevent what went wrong with him from happening again, and that sometimes includes using a chain to restrain whatever malevolent creature may try to get through against the summoner’s will

~He’s usually one of, if not the first person seen by new summons and the person to introduce them to everything, so a lot of them grow very attached to him. He’s on good terms with everyone, wise enough to have serious conversations but energetic enough to keep up with everyone’s antics

~When news of Primo’s passing spread he mostly stayed to himself, brooding at the bottom of the Abbey’s lake during the colder months when no one was swimming. He tended to only come out during storms, when he knew barely anyone else was outside. Perhaps it was only when Phantom and Aurora, two young enthusiastic ghouls, were summoned back to back that he started coming out of his shell again

[mortuary-collective]

Disables your ghouls

Dewdrop;BPD, chronic fatigue, insomnia

Phantom; AuDHD, OCD, hEDS, tic disorder, maladaptive daydreaming disorder

Aurora; Epilepsy, psychosis, stutter

Rain; Tic disorder, EDS, PoTS, number dyslexia

Mountain; Deaf, epilepsy, OCD, autism

Ifrit; partially blind, BPD, dyslexia

Alpha; NPD, selective mute, dysgraphia

Cowbell; DID, selective mute, social anxiety

Zephyr; hEDS, chronic fatigue, narcolepsy+ cataplexy

Pebble: Epilepsy, tremor, autism

Please ask me about my headcanons so I can infodump:3

[mortuary-collective]

To the one person who asked me about bpd ghouls here you are<33 (@dewinabsentia)

Disclaimer: These will be based on my own experiences and what I deal with (I know it's different for everyone but these are my own experiences)

Starting off strong with Dew. (TW: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE,OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOR, SELF H@RM!!)

Like me I do believe his mood will depend on his favorite person/s and that heavily affects how he acts through out the day. If his favorite person/s are upset or angry then that's how he'll act as well, very snappy and basing his judgement off them.

I strongly believe that Aether is one of (if not his first) favorite person. Dew is heavily dependent on him and trusts his word over everyone elses, this also makes him very clingy and he gets very bad anxiety if he doesn't know what Aether is doing.

I also think he sabotages a lot of his relationships and if he's splitting he'll become really secluded and isolate himself thus becoming suicidal, but if Aether is there his whole mood changes. I also think he bases his personality around the people he's near and mimics to best fit them.

Ifrit is similar, except he's more obsessive. His favorite person is Zephyr, he's utterly obsessed with him, always attached at their hip and trying to stay as close as possible to them at all times. He's always near them and wants to go everywhere with them.

Unlike Dew he can control his emotions a lot better and knows how to regulate them properly without getting as snappy, however if he gets triggered into an episode he can become very angry and snappy and yells, sometimes going as far as doing harmful things to his body.

I do think he has episodes of brief mania where he's in a happy mood, drinks, smokes, ect and once it dies down he becomes a lot more depressed and secluded to everyone except Zephyr.

I do think both of them struggled with self harm in the past and Ifrit definitely has the scars to show for it, Dew however is very shy about his scarring and tends to hide it from everyone except for Rain and Aether.

But yeah, this is heavily based around me, hope you enjoyed<33
