☆ Welcome home Neighbor~! ☆

----------

Human Reader x Welcome Home!

The battle.

Chapter 13/?

Word Count: 3,037 out of 44,542

----------

You watched with wide eyes and staggered breathing as Wally slowly stood on his shaky feet, no doubt still feeling the aftershocks of Howdys punch. Since when was Howdy that strong?

You looked up at Howdy, who still had a hand on your back and another on your shoulder as if he was sheltering you from Wally. His concerned eyes glancing down at you,

“Y/N Are you alright? What happened?”

Your body still felt tingly and light as a feather, but with all things considered you felt fine. You most definitely could feel worse at the moment.

You gave Howdy a nod before speaking,

“Im...I'm fine. Home has control of Wally. We need to help him, and the others.”

You turned to look at the others who were standing in front of the stage. Frank, Poppy, Julie, and Eddie all looked concerned, Whether for you or Wally you couldn't tell.

Howdy looked concerned and only moved to hold you closer to him, the hand on your shoulder giving you brief comfort. Your legs shook as you stood and he could tell you were still weak from the threads removed from your system.

As you looked back at Home you could see Sally behind him, she was still suspended on the moon prop that now swung gently side to side. The gentle mental creaking made her hands grab onto the sides of the moon tightly as her chest rose and fell frantically. Her panic was evident now that Home no longer had control.

You weakly tried to move closer to Sally, despite Home standing in the way.

As your legs shook and you tried to move closer to Sally, you couldn’t help but wonder where Barnaby was, seeing as he was the only missing neighbor.

Of course, you wouldn't have to worry for long, because just as Wally moved to raise his hand and command more threads to tangle you from the ceiling, You saw the large dog barreling towards him.

Before you could stop him, you watched as the giant dog wrapped his arms around Wally. Pinning his hands to his sides, successfully stopping him from commanding more threads.

Barnabys' arms held Wally still as small amounts of stuffing fell from his injured arm. You couldn't help but wince at the sight, part of you felt bad that you hurt Wally.

You quickly reminded yourself this wasn't Wally anymore. It was Home. And he was the whole reason you were caught in this mess to begin with.

“..Home.”

Home looked up at you. His face originally focused on the floor as he struggled in Barnabys' grip,

He looked pissed.

“I want to go Home. I want no part in your fantasy world.”

You briefly saw Barnaby and Sally wince at your cuss, which again you may have found funny if not for the situation you were in.

You also couldn't help but notice how Howdys breath hitched at your insult to his neighborhood. To your shock he didn't seem to mind the cuss, you didn't look at him regardless.

Barnaby looked down at Home and seemed to be moving to speak in an attempt to calm him…

Before he could speak you watched in horror as threads shot from the ceiling, you lunged forward and tried to move him out of the way with a shout.

The threads landed straight into Barnabys' head.

The theatre stood in silence. The only sound that could be heard was the shocked gasping of Barnaby before he fell over with a loud thump. Even the creaking of the moon Sally sat atop of stopped.

“...Now look what you made me do.”

Howdy pulled you closer to himself as you saw more threads hanging tauntingly from the support beams in the ceiling.

“None of this had to happen. You could have come willingly. It's a shame to see one of my most prized projects fail.. Y’know?”

Despite Howdys' hushed warnings that came to your ears, you took a step forward. Your hand gently pushed Howdys hand off of your shoulder as you took a shaky step forward.

“What… What do you mean.”

Home chuckled and stepped forward, his shoes clicked against the hardwood. Making your skin crawl with anticipation of his next move.

“You weren't supposed to be sentient when you arrived. I have put so much effort into bringing you here. To Saving You.”

It felt as if you and Home were the only two in the theatre. Your eyes buzzed and your ears rang as you quickly felt faint. You were sick of being left in the dark of your own life, you hated this game of Cat and Mouse you found yourself in.

So you would put a stop to it.

“...And you have spent all this time trying to get me under your control to ‘save’ me, I would probably be flattered if that wasn't so creepy. Why do you really want me here, Home.”

You were so tired of being scared of Home. You needed answers, and in your mind, you held the upper hand with the other neighbors now on your side.

You tried ignoring the way your skin crawled as you heard the threads on the support beams slither down closer to you with an unnerving squelch. As if they were coated with something.

Home stood silent and unmoving for what seemed to be an eternity before you finally saw him take a step closer to you. If you reached your arm out and lunged just a tad closer, you could hit him.

“I'm here to save you of course, just as i did the others.”

“Save us?..”

Homes smile only grew wider as he stood stiff, like a tiger ready to pounce.

You didn't let him scare you.

“Answer my question Home.”

Home almost looked shocked at your advances, he was used to the easy-to-manipulate mind you once had.

You've learned to toughen up.

You expected Home to make another snide remark, however, all that hit your ears was silence. Your ears had even begun to ring as you focused intently on your surroundings.

Somehow you didn't notice the threads reaching for your arms before it was too late. You heard the sickening sound of them slithering and striking as you held your arms up in alarm and a weak attempt to shield yourself.

You felt no impact.

…And as you looked up, you didn't expect to see Howdy using all of his four arms to hold them away from you. The threads squirmed in his felt hands, desperately searching for something to cling to as they wrapped around his fingers and slowly infected him.

Your ears rang as you desperately focused on Howdy, listening closer and picking up what Howdy was saying as adrenaline pumped through your veins.

“..Y/N..! Get..Awa.. Go!.. Get the others and Go!..”

You looked into Howdys eyes and saw desperate panic, guilt flooded your system.

None of this would have happened if you just never entered the warehouse, no one would have to fight for you.

You turned on your heel to run off the stage, before seeing the horrified looks of everyone watching the action happen.

Suddenly all guilt left your system as you quickly realized that if you never came here, they would still be living in fear of Home.

…And if you left now you would be damning them to the same fate. Nothing would change.

So with a sudden burst of determination, you pivoted and made a beeline for Home. You yelled quickly to the others,

“Get out of here!.. I'll deal with Home!...”

You briefly turned to Howdy, who was still struggling with holding the threads at bay,

“I'll make sure you get out safe Howdy. Please hold on,”

You may have just been imagining things, but you swore you saw Howdy briefly smile before going back to struggling with the threads. You turned back to Home who stood with the same smile he always had plastered on his face.

You quickly assessed the surroundings. You saw Barnaby still passed out behind Home, and Sally sitting idly atop the Moon that hung from loose support beams, it creaked every time she shifted.

You had an idea.

Your body was pumped full of adrenaline, making your hearing and senses heightened as you heard the others run out of the theatre. It provided you with a little consolation knowing they were safe as you ran and moved to rush Home.

You by no means knew much about fighting, but you did know one thing, and that was Home was small since he was inhabiting Wallys' body.

An apology briefly crossed your mind to Wally as you saw Homes eyes flash with shock as your shoes squeaked to a sharp halt in front of him, before kicking him.

It sent him flying to the left wing of the stage. Giving you enough time to focus on freeing Sally.

Your eyes quickly scanned the Right wing of the stage, and to your relief, you could see a very tall ladder, it was almost the perfect height of the moon Sally sat atop of.

You quickly rushed towards it, tripping over your own feet as you practically fell on top of it while desperately dragging it. It scraped against the wooden floors with a sickening squeal. The varnish is most definitely being ruined in its wake.

You’d apologize to Sally later for wrecking her stage.

You were able to drag it almost halfway before feeling your back hit something tall and fuzzy. Turning around you could see Barnaby.

Brief relief flooded your system before you felt his large fuzzy arms wrapping around your arms and torso in a tight grip. Making you drop the ladder and squirm in his grip as you tried to crane your neck to look up at him.

His expression was blank, and you could see threads reaching from the ceiling into his head and neck.

As you continued to fight Barnaby as he held you, your ears could hear Home from the other end of the stage walking towards the both of you. His shoes clicked against the ground as he took labored steps.

Looking towards the ground you could see the scissors that were once impaled into Wallys' arm resting nearby. If you could break free from Barnabys' grip, you may just be able to reach them.

Making a desperate decision, you hunched over in his grip and moved your head to his arm, wasting no time as you bit into his plush arm. Hard.

You could feel your teeth pierce through his fabric arm, and you physically had to hold back a gag from the sheer sensory of it. Once Barnaby yelped and pulled his arm away, you kicked your legs back to push away from him. Successfully breaking free and making a run for the scissors.

The cold metal of the metal scissors gave you momentary relief and satisfaction as you turned around and saw Barnaby walking towards you again. Without any hesitation, you lunged for him with the scissors.

You jumped as far as you could and just barely were able to grab onto his shoulder as you heard him try to speak in confusion while he tried to grab you and pull you into his arms.

Thankfully you were able to reach the threads just in time to snip them and free Barnaby.

Much to Homes's dismay of course.

“Why can't you just Accept my Help!..”

Barnabys' legs went weak as he was freed from the threads, he blinked a few times before lifting you off of him with ease. Before he could open his mouth to speak, you quickly barked orders at him. You needed to free Sally and Howdy to get the hell out of here.

“Barnaby. Get the ladder and get Sally down. I'll distract Home”

You whispered the last part, hoping Home didn't hear as Barnaby nodded and quickly stood and ran towards where the ladder was last abandoned.

With Barnaby now focused on saving Sally, you focused your attention on Home. Who now stood across the stage holding his injured arm that still had stuffing leaking from it. His steps turn into limps, clearly from when you kicked him.

You couldn't help but feel the slightest amount of empathy for Home. Maybe he was just really trying to help.

As you glanced over at Howdy you saw he still stood struggling with threads now wrapping around his multiple arms. His green-felt skin was now blackened from what you could only assume was the ink that dripped from the threads.

You made up your mind quickly that Home didnt deserve your sympathy. You gave him more than enough chances to explain himself and prove he was doing the right thing.

You looked back to Home as you saw him standing, no longer moving towards you.

“Why did you have to make things difficult? Why couldn't you accept my help.”

You were exasperated and tired at Homes adamant preaching for you to accept his ‘help’.

“Because i dont need your help.”

You took a few steps closer to Home. Your hands still firmly gripping the metal scissors, and as you saw Home lift a hand to command more threads toward you, you were quick to snip them.

“Im not weak Home. Im not hurting, and i especially don't need you helping me. If anything you seem to need the most help out of everyone here.”

You could hear Barnaby setting up the ladder to free Sally as you continued to close the distance between you and Home. You didn't know what you would do once you reached him, but you knew it was your turn to have the power in this situation.

“I mean, I'm not the one who possessed my so-called friend. I'm also not the one who would lock him up in his own Home.”

The memory of Wally looking at you from his own window before it slammed shut still made you feel chills. Homes' treatment of Wally was unjust. Home especially had no right to talk about helping people.

Home steadily backed away from you before he tripped over a small cord used to power a few strings of lights. If only for a moment he looked panicked.

“I was helping him!.. You don't have the full story. And you never will!.. You were never meant to remember.. I thought I..!-”

You stopped in front of him, twirling the scissors in your hand.

“You thought what?.. That you could mind control me and dress me like your own little doll?..”

You felt your emotions bubbling over, and as you looked down at the pants that were given to you the day prior, you felt enraged. You hated how they matched Wallys.

…But you also remember how Wally had tried to help you. He genuinely wanted to offer you advice, and also sat with you in Howdys bathroom while he explained what he could.

None of this was Wallys' fault.

As you looked at Wallys' arm that still leaked small amounts of stuffing, you knew you had to be more gentle with Wally. He may be possessed by Home but it was still Wallys' body.

You opened your mouth to speak again, hoping to convince Home to let Wally be free before you watch Home let out a blood-curdling scream.

His body trembled as it curled in on itself, and you didn't have to wonder what happened for long as you saw a bright illumination of something hot reflecting off of a nearby wall.

Turning around you saw Howdy, he had somehow freed one of his hands from the threads long enough to light one on fire. To your horror you watched as the flames spread to the roof, quickly igniting the other strings like gasoline.

The ceiling almost immediately exploded in flames. A chain reaction from the sheer amount of ink that had dripped from the various strings.

You coughed as the smoke quickly filtered down, in a panic you turned to look at Home, only to see his eyes closed and his body no longer moving.

Quickly dropping to your knees you put a hand to Wallys' chest, feeling the slight rise and fall of his torso, you let out a stuttery sigh of relief as you threw him over your shoulder and looked at Howdy.

“Howdy!... We gotta go!..”

You glanced to where Sally once was and felt instant relief flood your system as you saw she was no longer there, you assumed she got out with Barnaby.

Rushing over to Howdy as quick as you could with Wally unconscious on your shoulder, you snipped the remaining threads that were wrapped around his hands and arms before they too could light on fire.

You didn't even want to begin to think about what would have happened to Howdy if you were even a second too late. Felt and fire never were a good combination.

But of course, neither did skin.

As the threads you snipped ignited and fell, you felt the searing pain of them falling on your arms. You were still coughing as you flinched and recoiled your arm, a small yelp just barely coming through your mouth past your coughing fit.

It was loud enough for Howdy to spring into action and grab Wally from your shoulder with his upper hands and pick you up with his lower.

Wally was slung over Howdys shoulder while you desperately clung to Howdy. The world around you felt foggy, and as you opened your eyes you could see just how much smoke had culminated in the building.

Surprisingly Howdy wasn't struggling with the smoke, you supposed it was just another difference between humans and puppets.

You decided to place your trust in Howdy as your head fell on his shoulder, you were tired and felt like death.

Your lungs burned as you heard the door to Sallys' house slam open, the cold breeze that met your skin as you made it outside felt like a blanket.

Surely it wouldn't hurt if you took a quick nap.

As you fell asleep you swore you could hear Howdys voice…

Welcome Home x K-12 au

I know, I know, there's so many Welcome Home AUs anyway, but why not one more? Why not one more au? Why not one more alternate universe Wally Darling to call your darling? No, but fr I think Welcome Home and K-12 together would work so well. They're both childlike with adult themes that look more innocent than they let on. I haven't done many designs, but I thought about who I want to be who. So let's get into it.

First off, Wally Darling would be Crybaby. The main character of the story. He would be mostly stoic like how he is from the arg, but gets very emotional when he feels sad, giving him the nickname Crybaby among his peers. In the movie, the uniforms include short pink dresses for girls and white shirts with blue pants for the boys, both with a heart in the center with the k-12 logo in the middle. Crybaby dyes her dress lilac. I imagine Wally dyeing his uniform a light, pastel red. I'm not sure whether I want him wearing a dress or pants though.

Barnaby would be Angelita. Crybaby's best friend, the one who Crybaby/Wally can be the most vulnerable with. Barnaby would still be a joke-cracking comic, but he would also have Angelita's tough exterior, where he would convince Wally to stand up for himself more, just like what Angelita does.

Frank would be Celeste. I honestly could not have found a better placement for Frank. Both are deadpan, smart, and snarky, and aren't afraid to tell off a bully. Both are also easy to piss off.

Julie would be Magnolia. Both have a happy demeanor and love having fun and playing games. In the movie, Magnolia is the girl that sits alone before Crybaby makes friends with her via a really complicated secret hand shake, something I feel like her and Wally would do. Crybaby and Magnolia are also really short and the same size, like Wally and Julie, which I think is really cute. idk I just felt like bringing that up.

Poppy would be Fleur. Another really fitting one. Both Poppy and the actress of Fleur are trans women. Fleur is gentle and kind, but is manipulated by the popular clique for a while, believing that she's not good enough, and develops an ed. The movie includes a heart-to-heart where Fleur confides with Crybaby. I imagine having Poppy and Wally do that scene would be really fitting for both of their characters.

Sally would be Kelly. Kelly is the big mean girl that bully's Crybaby, and attacks her for flirting with her boyfriend, and later tries to include her in the clique after seeing her take down the abusive principal. Sally has mean girl energy. Although she would never do the things Kelly does, they're both overdramatic and think they're so great. In the movie, the girls apart of Kelly's clique all look the same, so I like to imagine all of Sally's girls would look like different stars.

Howdy would be the principal's son. Half-way through the movie, the principal is replaced by his son, who is even more unfair and bossy, caring only about money. Again, that's not really Howdy, but Clown did mention that Howdy is pretty bossy at some point. It's not shown much in the arg, but I still believe he would be perfect for the principal's son.

I'm not sure where Eddie would fit. I imagine him being Thomas, the guy who tells Crybaby the principal's forcing meds on certain students in the beginning. But Thomas doesn't get much screen time, and I would love to include Eddie more. I might interchange him and make him multiple one off characters, like Henry, the student who refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I know that in the movie, Crybaby gets an anonymous love letter. In the au, I want Eddie to deliver a love letter to someone (I'm sure you know who) but it goes to Wally instead by accident.

I'm also not sure where Bea, Franny, and Jonesy Joyful (Julie's siblings) would fit. Maybe Franny could be Kelly, but I don't think Franny would be fitting. She seems like she'd be more deadpan than overdramatic like Sally. I've thought about making Jonesy the guy who asks Crybaby/Wally out as a joke... I think that could work but we'll see... As for Bea, I'm stumped

Lilith would be Ronald Dorelaine, the in-universe creator. Lilith in the movie is Crybaby's spirit guide. Crybaby also often begs for Lilith to take her away from the hell she's in... I swear these roles are too perfect. I do wonder if Wally Darling in the arg is aware of Ronald's existance...

Finally, as for Ben, Crybaby's love interest... y/n takes that role in the au. Don't come at me please, but this just feels right. Pretty much everyone does this in the WH aus. Besides... I'm not normal about Wally, so why not. (God I'm so glad Clown hasn't looked at the aus).

I'll create designs for the characters later. I'm hoping I can really flesh this au out as I go.

I also need a name for this au... maybe H-12??? W-12? H makes more sense though.

this is Granite Pillars Stained By Statuesque Memories Of A Thousand Hands, and she's my iterator oc! she is the nokia of iterators. she is one of the oldest "iterators" (technically she's something closer to a proof-of-concept or a proto-iterator) alive- hence her Very Long and Serious name! she was built in the middle of the ocean (as iterators hadn't quite been refined enough to properly make use of groundwater stores yet), and functioned closer to a remote research center than a city! she is currently experimenting with local wildlife and is training a slugcat mother to allow her to handle her pups as a behavioral experiment.

And thus she is slated for the coal mines! Woe! District Twelve be upon ye!

day 12 of @flufftober: “you kept this?” pillars of eternity ii: deadfire f!watcher x serafen warnings: implied sex

note: this takes place after the events of the game but I haven’t actually finished it so it may not be canon-compliant.

“You kept this, cap?” His furred fingers traced over the edge of the tri-corner hat. It had been a long while since he’d seen it, let alone seen it on the watcher.

“Of course. You gave it to me,” she responded from her bed, still wrapped up in blankets, far more posh than what he remembered of their nights aboard the Defiance and at whatever inns they could afford to stay at.

Serafen grabbed the hat and walked back over to the watcher to place it on her head as she laughed. “What are you doing? This is a very treasured gift from a very treasured friend!”

He smiled and crawled back under the covers with her. “Treasured friends” is what they used to call each other back in the Deadfire, a bit more than friends, but too afraid to commit to anything to call it more. But traveling half way around Eora to visit a “treasured friend” sure sounded more like commitment every day that passed. "Aye, treasured friends indeed."

The watcher removed her hat and laid back down on her pillow, and Serafen followed suit. They turned toward each other, Serafen felt her eyes on him, burning with questions unasked so he stroked her cheek with his finger, urging her on.

"I'm glad you're here," she whispered finally, grabbing his hand and pressing it against her cheek. "But why are you here?"

What a loaded question. Why was he here? For anyone else in the world, it would be enough to keep up correspondence with a friend, maybe even visit, or maybe let the relationship fade away. But this was more than that. This was letting a piece of himself leave, not knowing what hole it would leave behind in its wake. It was waking up every morning (or afternoon, rather) and staring into space, wondering what she was doing right then and how it would be different if she were there beside him.

So he had to chase after her. "Let me show you," he whispered back, pressing his forehead to hers. When all words failed, he could show her what he felt. And it was powerful, yet left him bare and vulnerable in the process. He showed her memories of their time together, but from his perspective, so she could see what he was feeling. Even though he tried to keep it casual, you don't just let someone save your father-figure with you or dismantle slavery rings with you or hold you while you cry or run their hand through your hair when you're exhausted or when you defeat fucking dragons and monsters and gods together, side-by-side, it's all different. And every time they lay together and they looked at each other with moons in their eyes, Serafen felt the unbearable urge to run away because he knew what he was feeling then, and he knew what he was feeling now.

"It's not looking good, is it?" he joked, giving her an escape if this all went horribly wrong. "But that's the truth."

The watcher pulled away and wiped at her eyes, a smile accompanying her tear streaked face. "Then it's not looking good for me either." She laughed, followed by short sniffles.

"How's that, love?"

"We're both a couple of saps."

"Hm, but we'll be saps together," he offered, trying to keep his cool and not sound too eager.

She nodded, closing the gaps between their faces and pressing short, sweet kisses all over his face.
