There was such a missed opportunity to make Ambrosius look utterly wrecked after the time skip in between what happened in the Gloredome and Ballister seeing him again in the Institute. Eye bags. Pale face. Unshaven, hollow cheeks. Sunken, shadowed gaze. An constant haunted expression of guilt and grief. HE WAS SUFFERING OKAY HE THOUGHT HE KILLED THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE PLS

lil nimona #gay dads drabble!! under the cut! only like 400 words but i was feelin inspired
“Hey—” “Have you seen the baby?” Ambrosius’ words come out rushed and jumbled. Ballister stares at him. “Have I seen the—She was with you!” “Well, yes.” Ballister waits for him to continue. Raises an eyebrow. “You lost the—“ “I lost the baby.” Ballister begins searching, walking in the direction of the living room. “Amb, we’ve talked about this. You need to stop losing the baby.” “Obviously!” Ballister can’t help but laugh a bit, somewhat in disbelief. Ambrosius always gets so stressed about the baby. It’s almost funny, considering the nature of their relationship. They love each other, of course, but neither of them would ever say it. That all being said, somehow, when it comes to parenting, Ambrosius is the good cop, and Ballister the bad. However, Ballister can confidently say he’s never lost the baby. “Nimona!” Ambrosius calls, hurrying after Ballister. He lifts up part of the couch. “Why would she be under the couch?” Ballister asks, laughing. “Our baby is not a normal baby.” Ambrosius lowers the couch. There’s a giggle from the kitchen. Ballister glances at Ambrosius to see he’s already taken off. He follows him. “Good Gloreth!” Ballister rounds the corner just in time as Ambrosius plucks a knife from Nimona’s hands. It seems to be covered in saliva. Was she … using it as a teething toy? “Nimona, that is not food,” Ambrosius scolds. Nimona gives Ambrosius possibly the most potent glare that Ballister has ever seen a baby give. He laughs a bit as Ambrosius wipes down the knife and sets it back in the block. “You know.” Ballister leans against the doorway, placing his hand on his hip. “I don’t think we’ve baby proofed enough.” “Oh,” Ambrosius deadpans. “You don’t say.” Ballister laughs some more as Ambrosius scoops Nimona up in his arms, even as she squawks and squirms, before crossing her little arms and making herself comfortable, a frown still on her lips. “I swear she likes you more,” Ambrosius grumbles. “She never runs away from you.” “Come on, now, sweetheart, you know she loves you.” Ballister pushes himself up off the wall and crosses the kitchen to them, kissing Nimona’s forehead as she shrieks with laughter before pecking Ambrosius on the lips. He cups his husband’s cheek, smiling at him. “You two just … butt heads.” “Buttheads!” Nimona shouts. They both freeze. Sigh. Laugh some. “Is her first word seriously butthead?” Ambrosius asks. Ballister shrugs. “Suppose so.” “Fitting.” “I’d say.” They exchange smiles and, Nimona still cradled in Ambrosius’ arms, make their way back to the living room.

arm-upgrading is a love language
Ballister's family offers suggestions for upgrading his arm. Not all of them seem practical.
"Hey boss, whatcha doin'?"
Ballister startles and looks up from his desk. "Just working on designing a new prosthetic arm prototype. I want to figure out how to make it work for different socket locations, not just the shoulder. Maybe figure out some better protection for the exposed wiring. Improved sensor sensitivity would be nice..."
He sees Nimona's eyes glaze over and smirks. "I also want to find room for a flashlight and a grappling gun." His (relatively) bulky armor can fit an impressive amount of emergency supplies in his custom storage pockets, but streamlining his kit is always good. Besides, he isn't wearing armor as much these days.
Mentioning the grappling gun was apparently just the hook she needed. "Oh — I've got an idea for an upgrade! You should decorate it!"
Please go to AO3 to read more.

Because I’m apparently much better at finishing fanfic when I should be thinking about something else (NaNo— don’t worry, I did hit wordcount for the day first), here’s a Nimona oneshot. Comic universe, 3.6k, post-canon pre-epilogue.
Ambrosius hadn’t really expected to wake up at all. Through the bloom of pain and rupture, claws and teeth that had torn through his armour like tin foil, he’d thought maybe I bought him some time and at least I did something right for once, and as he’d collided with the wall his last thought before it went black had been damn it, why couldn’t you have let me tell you I love you?

SephyAthredon-Writing's Whumptober 2023 Summary and Masterlist
Tumblr media
(This is my new Faceclaim, Susato Mikotoba from Great Ace Atorney.)
((I had a lot of fun this Whumptober writing Nimona fics! They've been a lot better received than a lot of my other fics from my past Whumptobers, so I just want to say thanks to the fandom here!
Thank you for your comments and likes both on here and on Ao3, they really mean a lot to me!
So, I only got 9 fics done which is less than my personal record of 12 but more than I did last year (7). Overall I was pretty stressed this month so I'm happy I was able to get this much done, and I have ideas for other fics to put on my Ao3 that aren't Whumptober related. Maybe I'll finally do some Whumptober leftovers too.
For those of you that are waiting for the next chapter of "Watch It All Fall" I plan to get started on that soon now that I'm not doing Whumptober stuff. I haven't forgotten about my non Nimona stuff either.
My personal favorites this year are "Can you Hear me Now?" (which got a piece of fanart made for it), "Shock to the System", and "Slipping Through the Cracks".
Okay, I'm done rambling now XD Here's the list of all my Whumptober entries for this year.))
Slipping Through The Cracks
The night before the Knighting Ceremony, Ambrosius just wanted to have dinner with the love of his life. What he didn't expect was for the excitement around the ceremony to lead people to swarming him and asking him for autographs. He quickly gets overwhelmed. An Entry for Whumptober under the prompt “But now this room is spinning while I’m trying just to fill in all the gaps.”
2. Identical
Ambrosius finds himself in a Kingdom unlike his own with a Ballister that goes by Boldheart, not Blackheart. When a fever begins to set in, will he be able to trust this man that's so different from the one he knows, yet shares the same name? Also Nimona is there and she scares him. An Entry for Whumptober under the prompts "Delirium" and "“I’ll call out your name, but you won’t call back.” I plan to update this with a chapter 2 featuring Movie Ambrosius and Ballister Blackheart!
3. Locked In These Chains
Ambrosius wakes up chained to the wall in an empty cell, only to find out he's not alone. Ballister is in the cell next to his and a mysterious woman soon pays him a visit, calling him a heretic and a traitor to Gloreth's name. An Entry for Whumptober under the prompt "Make it stop."
4. Shock To The System
After Ambrosius' mess up at the marketplace, the Director decides to take matters into her own hands. He's allowed to keep heading the expedition to arrest Ballister, but now there's a new piece of jewelry around his neck. What seems like a new piece Ambrosius added to his wardrobe turns out to be a shock collar which the Director will not hesitate to detonate, should she feel he's straying too far from Gloreth's light. An Entry for Whumptober under the prompt "Shock".
5. When Everything Is Said And Done
Ambrosius doesn't find Ballister at the end of the movie, instead, Ballister finds him crushed under the rubble from the wall and he helps the other Knights that survived the cannon explosion dig him out. An entry for Whumptober under the Prompt "Debris".
6. I'd Do Anything For You
An unmarked package arrives at the Institute's barracks and by chance, someone from Ambrosius' class stumbles upon it first. It has nothing but a flash drive in it. When Ambrosius sees that Ballister has been captured and the video on the drive is a ransom video, it spurs him to rescue the other. After all, he'd do anything for the man he loves. An Entry for Whumptober under the prompt "Recording"
7. Can You Hear Me Now?
After the Knighting Ceremony, Diego pulls Ambrosius aside and shows him the proof that he needs to know that Ballister is innocent. He goes off in search of Ballister but by the time he finds him, it's too late. An entry for Whumptober under the prompt "Can you hear me?"
8. "Are You One Of Us?"
A peaceful night at home for Ambrosius gets plunged into chaos when people show up at his door intent on dealing with Gloreth's Descendant on their own. An Entry for Whumptober under the prompt "Outnumbered"
9. So This Is How It Feels To Fall
Both Ballister and Ambrosius’ lives had begun to spin out of control when they realized that they had been caught having an intimate kiss in Ambrosius’ room by someone discreetly taking a photograph and what was supposed to be a private intimate moment was plastered on the front page of the newest issue of “GARD” magazine. An Entry for Whumptober under the prompt "You're a Liar"

another lil nimona drabble!! this one’s got ambrosius and nimona bonding <3 also only like 400 words lol tws: mentions of self-harm, panic attacks tags: hurt/comfort, fluff, angst, ptsd
Sometimes, Ambrosius forgets to breathe. Forgets that things are okay now. They’re better now. There are no monsters. There is no Director. There are no cannons, no walls, no nothing. Ballister has forgiven him. They’re leading a new world. All is well. All is well. All is well. And yet, sometimes he can’t help it. Can’t help the unease in his stomach, the anxiety crawling up his back, the panic squeezing his chest. Most nights it’s fine. He doesn’t need to cope like he used to. He just finds Ballister, weasels his way into his arms, and all is well. Except, of course, Ballister is out tonight, out at some conference or whatever, he doesn’t remember. But Ballister isn’t here, and Ambrosius can’t breathe. His chest is tight as he rummages through the bathroom cabinets, searching and searching for a blade, any blade. His breaths come out quick and quiet. He rummages faster, knocking things off the counter and onto the floor. He must make quite the racket because there’s a knock on the door. “Uh, Nemesis, you good?” Ambrosius can’t breathe. Ballister is fine. He’s fine. They’re all fine. They’re all— He fits his hands on the counter, trying his hardest to take a deep breath but he can’t. He needs him. He needs Ballister. His best friend. His lover. His rock. “Nemesis,” Nimona sings. Nemesis. He was once Ballister’s nemesis. Fuck. The door is kicked down. “Dude, what the …” Nimona trails off. “Fuck.” Ambrosius looks at her and oh, what a sight he must be. He hasn’t showered in three days, his hair is sticking up in all sorts of directions, and he’s searching for a blade so he can ... you know. “Sit down.” Ambrosius does as she says, clutching his chest. Nimona is quick. She turns into a rather large dog and bounds to him, resting her head in his lap. “Relax,” she says. “You’re fine.” Ambrosius places a trembling hand in her fur. The weight of her on his lap is calming. And so, Ambrosius lets his eyes fall shut, resting his head against the wall as he slowly calms down. Slowly breathes. That’s where Ballister finds them, a good hour later. Ambrosius is dozing off, and Nimona is sound asleep. “Amb.” Ballister shakes his shoulder gently. Ambrosius pulls his eyes open. “Bal,” he whispers. “Hey.” Ballister cups his cheek with a hand. “You okay?” In response, Ambrosius practically falls into his open arms. “Yeah.” He glances at Nimona, sound asleep in his lap. “I’m okay.

IF YOU HAVENT READ THE HOW FAMILIAR THE DANGER SERIES (by LiterallyThePresident on ao3), WHY NOT
this isn’t from a specific scene. I was just aiming for the vibe of these two from this au because I’m absolutely obsessed with it and the characterization of Ballister especially will not leave my brain.
Ballister’s hairstyle inspired by this awesome art by @sefarlen :)

ashes, ashes, we all fall down
a Nimona drabble sequence (four 100 word drabbles and a double drabble) spanning the end of the movie
This'll be the last time someone lets her down.
People have wanted to kill her for a thousand years.
Tonight she's going to let 'em.
Their attacks don't do much. But there's really only way this story should end. (Gloreth's monster knows something about stories.)
If this is going to work, she needs to make herself vulnerable. She creates a gap in the shadows and hopes her (former) friend's sword is big enough to do the job.
Nimona lets out a (final) scream and prepares for the blade.
But then there are hands on her heart.
And she's not alone.
*****
Ballister knows he's not strong enough to physically stop her. Words have never been his forte, but he hopes his words will be enough.
She shifts and staggers but he manages to catch her before she falls. Nimona's singed and exhausted but alive — and he's going to do his best to make sure she stays that way.
She wraps her arms around him and he never wants to let go.
Maybe in a different story that would have been the start of their happily ever after, but he sees the cannon and knows that it's not that kind of kingdom.
*****
She says, "Hey boss, be right back," and she means it. Moments ago Nimona was ready to end everything — and maybe someday she'll feel that way again — but now there's Ballister with his enormous eyes and she needs to be clever enough to save everyone and survive a suicide mission.
Nimona the phoenix breaks the cannon.
It breaks her too.
She expected pain but this hurts almost as much as being called a monster and oh there are so many pieces and all her embers are turning to ash.
(From ash she will be reborn. Or so the stories say.)
*****
The last bit of light flickers out before it reaches his (mechanical) hand and hope dies with it.
He falls to his knees.
There's a familiar touch on his shoulder and he turns to face his comrade-in-arms best friend boyfriend nemesis Ambrosius. And maybe things are complicated, but Ballister can't help collapsing onto his chest. He's vaguely aware of a hand cradling his head before he succumbs to the hurt and exhaustion.
Weeks later, Ballister still gets distracted by flashes of pink and his heart sinks every time.
He wishes Nimona could see all the changes her sacrifice helped inspire.
*****
Nimona isn't and then she (mostly) is — a small speck of ash that found its way home into a familiar evil lair.
He's in some sort of limbo of not-quite-death-but-not-quite-life. Dormant. Nimona supposes that he should be grateful that there was any truth to the stories about phoenixes — certainly more truth than in the story of Gloreth's monster — but it would be nice to know just how this resurrection thing works.
They don't remember ever staying in one shape this long before, but for once it's not itchy. There's peace in the stillness. (Maybe they need the time to just rest.)
One sunny day, the door to the tower finally opens and Ballister lets in the light. And with that, Nimona the speck starts to glow.
Does that mean she can doorbell ditch now?
Apparently she can.
The way Ballister leaps towards the door is adoorable, but then his shoulders slump when no one's there and she feels a bit guilty.
"Hey boss." She can't quite manage a solid form yet, but going from ash to shimmery sparkles is definitely an upgrade. Hopefully, her boss won't freak out too badly.
"Holy shit!"
If you enjoyed this little drabble sequence, you are more than welcome to leave a kudo or comment on AO3.
