He flares a bit. “I didn’t do it ‘for me’, I did it to get your ass back here and out of that between realm!!” Not that he didn’t take satisfaction in most of it.
Oh. That upsets Howell, alright. “I’d rather suffer and stay in that world for the rest of my existence. People suffering to make it possible for me to escape is not worth it.”
Got this idea when I heard the song for the first time and, well, I just had to draw the thing. Basically. What if the other Wittebane brother is stuck in the realm between realms?

I made a playlist for How Monsters Are Made a while back, and also I started writing this post a while ago to get it made and out of my head. The playlist is vague spoilers, so I had to wait till after I finished the story to actually share it, but here it is!
Under the cut I’m going to talk about my song choices so. If all you want is to hear the music, you can skip this. Definitely don’t read it until you’ve finished the chapter though.
Maybe try not to judge my music tastes too much, if you don’t mind. I did write you all my longest fic ever, after all. I feel like that earns me some slack on the musical choices front.
Mirror Mirror Part II - Casey Lee Williams
It was...kind of a struggle to narrow down which Weiss songs I was going to use because the basic arc is pretty much identical? Rich, lonely, emotionally neglected child leaves home and finds new family and the courage to stand up to their shitty birth family. This is prologue-Angus, trying to understand and to figure out what he needs to do and inching towards Getting Out.
Years of scorn will leave you cold
Forget your dreams, do what you’re told
When disapproval’s all you’re shown
The safest place becomes alone
If Only You Would Listen - School of Rock: The Musical
The irony of his home life is, Angus would have been a perfect son if his family had just been a little more flexible, a little more affectionate. He’s brilliant and eager to please and he loved them - if they’d let him exist the way he actually is, instead of trying to fit him to their mold, he’d have been wonderful - as the monsters discovered. He was angry about that, even if he didn’t realize it until he learned what it was like to have family who listens.
I’ve got so much inside
If only you would listen
Joy and anger and pride
If only you would listen
It’s not much I’m asking
I only want your ear
Home - Phillip Phillips
Magnus lobbying to adopt Angus, and to a lesser extent the twins, Barry, and Lucretia. Magnus knows that the odds are good that if Angus stays, he’ll become family, and he’ll be happy, even if he’s scared now, and while the others don’t have the visions to guide them they do know that this is a little kid who got lost somewhere he shouldn’t even have considered going, and who clearly needs to be looked after.
The trouble, it might drag you down
If you get lost you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m gonna make this place your home
Keepin’ It Real - Barenaked Ladies
The Magnus song of the playlist. He’s a sweetheart but he’s also kind of a badass. But a sweetheart most of all.
When my time comes I won’t be leaving this earth
And what I’ve done for people will determine my worth
Hey Brother - Avicii
Taako’s song. Honestly we all know it. He’d never admit it(feelings are for losers, and okay maybe also Lup, but mostly losers), but it’s not just Lup he’d do anything for.
Hey brother, there’s an endless road to rediscover
Hey sister, do you still believe in love I wonder?
If the sky comes falling down, for you
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do
I Am The Fire - Halestorm
Lup. Obviously. I feel like I shouldn’t have to specify that. But Phandolin was really, really hard on her - you can imagine. It took a long time for her to recover from that, but as she does, she rose from those ashes too.
I don’t believe I’ll fall from grace
Won’t let the past decide my fate
Leave forgiveness in my wake
Take the love that I’ve embraced
I promise to myself, me and no one else
I am more than this
Warriors - Imagine Dragons
This one is Barry’s. He doesn’t have to sacrifice as much as he does in canon here, but it’s still a terrible sacrifice to give up your entire life and the way you wanted it to go as a normal person, even when you do it to save the world.
As a child you would wait and watch from far away
But you always knew that you’d be the one to work while they all played
In youth you’d lay awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change but it was just a dream
Glitter and Gold - Barns Courtney
Lucretia didn’t have a specific year where she became Madam Director, not here. It was a slower, more gradual process, and nobody’s quite noticed how much she’s grown as a person - you know how it is, the little changes you don’t notice add up and it requires looking back at how you started to notice how different things are. If something were to happen to put Davenport out of commission, though, she’d step up and they’d all realize.
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, the dark, the dark, the dark
Some Nights - Fun
Merle doesn’t share it much, but he still maintains a lot of doubts. He left his family - his kids - to become a monster, and that’s not the kind of thing that you can forget, even if the choice has brought him a lot closer to Pan.
And some nights I’m scared you’ll forget me again
Some nights I always win
But I still wake up
I still see your ghost
Oh lord, I’m still not sure what I stand for
Contact - Trocadero
Davenport wrestled a lot with the ethics of asking his crew to turn themselves into guardians. He still worries, and he knows that if things are going to go bad at any point, they can go really bad. He’d rather it be him who takes that hit, even though he knows it may not be his decision who does.
We’ve been here so long
Still I remember the rain in September
Contact
Two, four, one, ten, two, four, one, ten

Is anyone listening?

Am I still willing

Beside You - Marianas Trench
All seven of these monsters would do anything for each other. Simple as that. All they have is one another and that’s enough for now, even when the Voice is shouting at them.
When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
When the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless.
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they've never been so loud
Friends - Miracle of Sound
A slightly happier friendship song. It’s not so bad to be a monster when you have your family around you.
Lookin’ at all we’ve lost
All the pain that livin’ hard can bring
When we are together yeah
We can take on anyone anything
Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) - Florence and the Machine
Malicious or not, the Light of Creation is a dangerous thing, no matter how kind and generous it seems. Look at what it did to the people who guard it. Look what it tried to do to the world that loved it.
You made a deal and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough?
It’s not enough
Everything at Once - Lenka
Once Angus gets out from under all his family’s expectations and has room to breathe, he wants everything he never had. Hard to blame him, really.
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale
All I wanna be, all I wanna be,
All I wanna be is everything
Everything at once
Dog Days Are Over - Florence and the Machine
Angus is happier than he ever imagined being, living with the monsters, and he loves them more than he thought was even possible. Unfortunately, that means when he realizes they could be hurt protecting him, he feels he has to fix it himself. Even if that means giving up what he has to save it.
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
Good Grief - Bastille
When you make a place in your heart and your life for a kid who then disappears thinking he’s saving you, it’s not easy. They just want their boy back.
What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?
What's gonna be left of the world, oh
Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Sound the Bugle - Bryan Adams
Angus is a strong kid, but even he’s only eleven years old. He came very close to being suffocated, especially after learning what it’s like to have people who love and appreciate you. Avi and Johann didn’t realize it, but they gave him the nudge in the right direction that Angus really, really needed.
Then from on high, somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls, "Remember who you are"
If you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight, remember who you are
Naughty - Matilda: The Musical
Angus continues to be the bad child, by playing the repentant, good child. Maybe not what you imagine when you think of misbehaving, but it works out okay, doesn’t it? Imagine it playing over a montage of Angus swiping papers and secretly stashing a growing pile of evidence.
But nobody else is gonna put it right for me
Nobody but me is gonna change my story
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
Something Wild - Lindsey Stirling
Angus knows where he wants to be, and it’s not in a cold and lonely house.
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught and all the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home
It’s My Turn - Casey Lee Williams
Like I said, I had to be very picky about which Weiss songs I chose. Two was my self-imposed limit, because I really couldn’t give this one up. Angus has a lot he wants to say to his parents, but they’re not worth wasting his breath on.
You were the one
Who held me down and told me
I was heading nowhere
You said know your place
Accept your fate and show good face
And be thankful that you're there
I Bet My Life - Imagine Dragons
Angus came home a lot sooner than he could have hoped when he left. He’s also going to be grounded for eternity, but that’s okay.
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
Best Day Of My Life - American Authors
Most of Angus’ days are pretty great when he’s home. The day he comes back to his family is the best of them, and always will be.
I'm never gonna look back
Whoa, I'm never gonna give it up
No, please don't wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
Touch the Sky - Julie Fowlis
Angus gets to grow up happy and loved and knowing he can do anything he wants to do and his family will back him up. He’s got a lot of room to grow and he’s going to need every bit of it.
I will hear their every story
Take hold of my own dream
Be as strong as the seas are stormy
And proud as an eagle's scream
I will ride, I will fly
Chase the wind and touch the sky
@bornspellcaster asked: Well Philip is bordering a panic attack so he can’t imagine how his brother is feeling. He gently guides his shoulders. “Howie, shh. It’s okay….it…b-breathe with me, okay? C-Clips is really strong! He might be able to help!”
Howell feels absolutely horrible to the point that he’s feeling sick and nauseous and his heart is beating so fast and he’s barely breathing and--
The man flinches when his shoulders are touched, not at all having been aware of his little brother’s presence, but he doesn’t move any more than that as the voice is recognized almost immediately after. Quietly and facial expression not changing at all from the pure shock, he tries to follow the instructions but he finds himself barely able to. It’s too difficult for his brain to process with Alexander there.
Out of context Howell (and one Belos) doodles from convos and threads with @bornspellcaster ( who is also the only person allowed to reblog )
The only thing I’ll explain is that he’s wearing more modern clothes in three of these because there are no 1600′s clothes available for him at that moment and he HATES IT with a PASSION
“A version of me smashed a bitch’s hand….and she deserved it in my opinion,” Philip adds quietly.
He has that disappointed older brother look in his eyes again. . . “And what exactly did she do to deserve experiencing both that and being called such a rude word?”
Summary: After Emilia’s fiancé cheats on her, she moves to California to live with her brother Eric, who just so happens to be good friends with Chris Evans. Follow Emilia and her roller coaster life through heartbreak, love, and emotional trauma. Will Emilia choose to let Chris into her heart, or will she remain broken and alone forever?
A/N: I hope you guys are liking this story.
Chris’ P.O.V
“Minka” the disappointment is evident in my voice. “Tell me again why you’re here?”
“Because I was invited silly, and I’ve really missed you Chris. I was hoping we could talk and maybe we can head back to your place afterwards.”
“It’s not going to happen Minka, you know that. The last time we broke up, we decided it would be over for good. So stop trying, please. I’m asking you nicely here.”
“Whatever, it’s your loss anyways” she says in a spiteful way. “By the way, who was that girl you were talking to earlier? I can tell she’s not from around here. She just doesn’t fit in with this scene, and she definitely is not your type; why would you even bother?”
“Jesus Minka, jealous much? First, it’s none of your business who she is. Second, who cares if she doesn’t fit in around here? Not everybody has to look a certain way just to live in California. And third, you don’t even know my type. Just because we dated, doesn’t make you an expert on my life.”
I look passed Minka’s shoulders and see Emilia is talking with her brother and Frank. I said my peace with Minka, and decide to end this conversation.
“Excuse me” I say as I step around Minka and head over to where Emilia, Eric, and Frank are talking.
Emilia’s P.O.V
I head into my bedroom to grab a sweater; the autumn air becoming crisp now that the sun has set, and giving me goosebumps.
Stepping back outside into the fresh air, I spot Chris standing next to a gorgeous woman by the bar. She was wearing black leggings with a red cardigan. Her hands kept touching his shoulders and I felt a tinge of jealousy. I honestly don’t know why I would have felt jealous. I just got out of a seven year relationship, and Chris and I had just met a few hours ago. Maybe I jumped the gun, and thought there could be more at some point with him flirting with me. No, that would never happen. Why would Chris Evans want anything to do with me, when he could have someone gorgeous like the woman he was talking to? I was envious of her body; it was perfect. Skinny and toned. Not wanting my thoughts to haunt me anymore, I see my brother talking to Frank Grillo and decided I had enough liquid courage to meet another actor.
I walk up to my brother who is facing me, Franks back to me.
“Ahh, there she is! Frank, this is my little sister Emilia” my brother says grabbing for me and pulling me into a side hug.
“It’s nice to finally meet you Emilia” Frank says as he comes in for a hug.
“It’s nice to meet you Frank. I’m a big fan of your work, especially the Purge movies. You are pretty badass”
“Well thank you darling. Hey, are you settling in here alright? Your brother isn’t giving you any shit is he; because you know I can fire him.”
I try holding back my laugh, but I’m not managing too well. With the few drinks I’ve already had this evening (and being a light weight I might add) I’m really starting to loosen up.
“No Frank, he’s not giving me too much shit, just the normal amount a brother would give his sister.”
“Alright good, you know you can always come to me if you need someone to put him in his place” Frank says as he grips onto my brothers shoulders.
“I think I can manage, but I appreciate that and will keep it in the back of my mind if I do need your help” I give him a wink.
All of a sudden, music starts up, and we all turn to the karaoke stage. Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johansson are on stage and soon start singing “Rocky Raccoon” by The Beatles.
“I didn’t even realize either of them was here” I say to my brother, giving him a look in awe.
“Starting to get a little star struck dear sister?”
“I think the whole star struck thing went out the door when I saw Chris sitting in your kitchen, which I am a little pissed at you for that. You could have warned me about it first” I smack him lightly on the arm.
“I am sorry for that. But what do you say about doing a round of karaoke with me? We can do a duet, our song? What do you say?”
“Ugh, fine, I will, but you so owe me for not warning me about Chris and you can make it a double since I’m getting on that stage with you.”
“Yes” he says as he raises his arm in the air, as if he won a victory. I guess in a way he did.
Eric runs off to put our names on the list along with the song we will be singing. Ever since the song came out, it was dubbed “our song” and we always loved singing it back and forth to each other. Sighing, I head over to the bar to grab another drink, knowing it would help my nerves even more.
As I’m walking, I feel someone lightly grab my elbow. Turning around, I see Chris standing there.
“Hey stranger, what’s up?” I ask.
“Nothing, was just going to see if you wanted that drink still?”
“Oh god, yes please! Eric just signed us up for karaoke as a duet, and I’m going to need to down a drink real quick” I say, my nerves really starting to kick in.
After we get myself a drink, Chris pulls me in for a side hug, trying to calm me from my nerves. I just don’t get it, it’s like we have known each other for years with the way we act towards each other. It’s as if he can read my mind, and know exactly what it is that will help ease my nerves.
I give Chris one of my genuine smiles, and it’s as if he can notice it’s real; as if he can see into my soul. He looks at me as though he is looking deep into my soul and mind. I can see a hint of sadness to his eyes; in such a way that he knows what I do behind closed doors. That he knows what I do when I need to control my emotions. The razor blade to my wrist; the blood coming to the surface of the cut.
Eric breaks me from my thoughts when I hear him yell “We’re up next Emilia”.
Chris gives me a gentle squeeze and whispers in my ear “You’ll do great.”
It feels as though I’ve only blinked and I’m already on the karaoke stage with a microphone in my hand, my brother to my right.
Avicii’s “Hey Brother” starts playing over the speaker and I start singing.
Hey, brother, there’s an endless road to re-discover.
Eric immediately singing to the next phrase that pops up on the screen.
Hey, sister, know the water’s sweet but blood is thicker.
Then we both start singing the next few sentences.
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
Eric and I keep going back and forth on our respective parts, and singing the other lines and chorus together in unison. I can’t help but look into the crowd that has formed as they are cheering us on. I look over to see Chris standing with Jeremy Renner as they clap and I smile at their cheerfulness of it all.
Hey, brother, do you still believe in one another?
Hey, sister, do you still believe in love I wonder?
Oh, if the sky comes down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
What if I’m far from home?
Oh, brother, I will hear you call.
What if I lose it all?
Oh, sister, I will help you out!
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
Hey, brother, there’s an endless world to re-discover.
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.
What if I’m far from home?
Oh, brother, I will hear you call.
What if I lose it all?
Oh, sister, I will help you out.
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
The song comes to an end and I take a bow, Eric laughing at my silliness. The crowd applauding and hollering at us after our performance.
I walk through the crowd of people to find Chris with Renner standing close to the deep end of the pool. Chris scoops me up in his arms when I reach him.
“You did amazing up there Emilia! I’m proud of you.”
Before I can even answer him, I see the brunette haired woman Chris was talking to earlier come walking over. I feel a hard nudge in my shoulder, and in my somewhat drunken and elated state of mind, I go crashing into the pool next to me.

“Hey Bro.” I muttered as I walk in from the cold storm outside. “It’s freezing out there! What are you doing back so late, you could sick!” My brother Greg almost yelled at me. “But there’s an endless road to re-discover..” I said, as I sat down at the table.
“Dude! It doesn’t matter! Don’t be sneaking out late again, alright?” He said. “Ok, Ok, I get it..” I said.
“Look know the water’s sweet but blood is thicker..” He said. I gave him a weird look. “Yeah, you heard me… Oh and Y/N called.” Greg said. I looked up at him. “Yeah, your other sister.” He rolled his eyes, and walked out of the room.
Y/N… My other sister… If my sky was falling down for her, then it’s falling pretty hard. There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do for her.
Does Greg still believe in one of us? In one another?
Does Y/N still believe in love? Oh I wonder!
I decide to call her. I grab my phone, and dial her number. the phone starts ringing, and I put my phone next to my ear. I was hoping she would answer.. I needed to know..
Not seconds later, she answers. “Niall? Why are you calling me, at one in the morning?” she asked. I could tell I woke her up. “I’m sorry love, but listen. I’ve got a question for ya.” I spoke into the phone. “Yeah.. What is it Niall?” she asked.
“What… if I’m far from home? What would you do?” I asked. “Well… I would miss you of course… I’ve always missed you to be honest” she replied.
Oh brother, I will hear you call.
“What if… I lose it all?” I asked. “Lose it all? What do you mean?” She asked, very tiredly. “I mean what if I lose it all because maybe I’m missing half of me?” I asked. “I would help you out, of course!” She replied.
“If I’m falling… Would you catch me?” I asked. “Niall…” She trailed off. It became quiet for a second. “Do… Do you love me?” She asked. I was silent.
Did I love her?
Was I in love?
Did I fall for my best friend?
Greg then walked back into the room. “Niall? What are you doing up?” He hissed at me. I shushed him, and shooed him away but he stayed.
“Niall, are you ok?” She asked. “Y-yeah, I’m fine” I said quietly. “Look Niall Just answer my question tomorrow, I’ve really got to go to sleep-” “I do.” I said cutting her off.
“W-what?” She asked.
“I do. I do like you, and I want to be more than friends with you. I don’t want to think of it as a brother/sister relationship. I want to be more..” I said.
Greg was smiling right next to me… I could hear her breathing on the other line. “Y/N please say something.” I pleaded.
“I gotta go to bed… I’ll talk to you in the morning, night..” She said, and then the line went dead.
