uhhhh duncan in prison angst 👀👀
Tumblr media
hey 👋🏽
i’m sorry this took me so long to answer! but i did make a lil moodboard to go w it :•)
also i've written quite a bit of angst lately so this will be a little angsty, but also smutty.
long distance(?) old school version of sexting, really
hope y'all enjoy!
(yes, i did just discover the indention feature!)
warnings: angst if you squint, h*rny love letters, prisoners cat calling y/n, aaaand smut
word count: 3.5 k (i really don't know how this was supposed to be less than 1,000)
i don't love how this came out but the idea kept floating around in my head so i wanted to share!
Y/N didn't think what started as a harmless little experiment would show her just how powerful words could be.
She scrolled through row after row of photos on the 'write a prisoner' website on a boring evening just for something to do. And now each time she got a letter in the mail from him, her stomach would flutter.
Her finger stopped mid scroll as she came across the photo of the scruffy faced man with cheekbones carved by the gods and eyes clearer than the skies.
Duncan Shepherd.
Her eyes scanned his profile, learning that he was being held in a minimum security prison out of D.C for numerous white collar crimes, including bribery and extortion. He listed his interests as fine arts and finer wines. He'd be out for parole soon but was looking for a way to pass his time in prison.
Out of the hundreds of prisoners Y/N had scrolled past, none of them held her interest like Duncan.
It started off innocently enough. She grabbed a piece of paper from her drawer and her favorite pen and wrote him a simple introduction letter. Even if Duncan didn't seem like a dangerous or violent criminal, she felt a sense of adrenaline in writing him.
Duncan,
I hope this letter finds you well. I like to imagine you get a lot of mail sent to you. I read on your profile that you're a fan of the arts, I'd love to know more about you and what kind of art you enjoy. Truth is, I don't even know why I'm doing this, but figured prison must be lonely so I hope this helps pass the time.
I included a print of one of my favorite pieces of art to hopefully liven up your cell.
All the best,
Y/N
Y/N knew it wasn't much to start off with, but she had no clue what to send to a strange she knew next to nothing about. She printed off a print of one of Monet's Water Lillies and sealed it in an envelope with her first letter.
She let herself forget she sent the letter, not making any expectations. For all she knew, Duncan Shepherd wouldn't even reply to her. It would be hard to imagine that other people browsing the site would ignore Duncan's profile. His beauty, even in a mugshot was beyond compare.
But before long, she'd gotten a beat up envelope in her mailbox from none other than Duncan Shepherd. Excitement buzzed around her as she took a seat in her bed and tore it open.
Y/N,
Thank you for the lovely picture. I've got it hanging above my bed as a reminder of things I loved about my freedom. My mother has an original piece hanging in my childhood home. I remember staring at it for hours, enthralled by the beauty of it.
I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the print in your envelope.
You know what they say about great minds.
Sometimes I wonder if my family would have let me pursue the arts if I'd be where I am today.
But I am eagerly counting the days until I am able to stroll through a museum in Paris again.
I am dying to know more about you. Tell me what makes up Y/N.
At the bottom of the sheet, was a rough sketch of a garden Duncan had drawn out for her.
The letters continued like that for a few weeks, slowly learning little bits and pieces of each other through writing.
She'd learned a lot about him very quickly. He told her about how troubles with his app and his powerful family led to him going to prison. And he also told her about all of the things he loved to do. Much to her surprise, she had more in common with him than she thought she would have,
Y/N,
We've been writing to each other for some time now and I must admit, curiosity is killing me. Not to mention, I do believe it's unfair that you've known what I look like from the start.
Tell me, did my photograph have anything to do with your interest in me?
I'd love to see you Y/N.
Y/N re-read the letter over and over trying to justify the butterflies in her stomach at the idea of Duncan thinking about her. Wondering what she looks like.
Duncan kept every letter Y/N had sent him using them as a way to fuel his daydreams of the woman behind the letters.
-
Y/N dug through her things in search of an old polaroid camera she had. - she thought Duncan would appreciate the use of instant film. Even if she felt a little silly doing so, she did her hair and makeup and searched her closet for the perfect outfit. In some way, this would be like Duncan's first impression of her. Little did she know, she'd already made a huge first impression with him.
She settled for a deep burgundy silk tank with a cowl neckline. She tossed her favorite leather jacket over it and put on her favorite dainty gold necklaces, letting them rest above her cleavage.
She made a little set up by the window in her room, where the light came in just right for a photo, and propped the camera up on a pile of books before setting it on an automatic timer to have it snap the photo of her.
She stared at the photo, smiling - happy with the results.
Y/N sat at her desk, writing him another letter and including her photo along with it.
-
Duncan opened his new letter from Y/N letting the photo fall from the envelope. He picked it up and stared in awe. He couldn't even focus on reading the words on the page as he stared at her picture.
In his mind, he expected her to be beautiful but was blown away by her photo.
He kept it safe, tucked under his pillow. He would take it out every night to look at it until he fell asleep dreaming of her.
Duncan saw her face... eyes clenched shut... pouty lips formed into a perfect "O" as her thighs surrounded his face.
He saw his hands traveling up her legs... kissing up her bare stomach... kissing her lips.
Everything felt so real.
Duncan woke up in a hot sweat from his over realistic dream. He could almost imagine her taste on his tongue.
The moon shone into his room giving him a sliver of silver light and he pulled her photo out, tracing his finger over her face.
He turned on the little lamp at his desk and sat down to write her back.
I can't tell you the time, but I believe it's past midnight and I can't sleep without dreaming of you.
Forgive me if I'm being forward, but I can't get you off my mind.
What I would give to be with you now...
Y/N, I want to feel your skin on mine. I imagine what it must feel like to have your lips pressed against my own.
I can't stop myself from thinking of all the ways I want to make you mine.
D.S.
--
I want to make you mine.
Y/N kept going back to those words.
If it weren't for the prison bars keeping Duncan away...
Her daydreams of spending the afternoons sipping coffee and strolling through colorful cities with Duncan began to change after the last letter. Knowing that he wanted her sent shivers down her spine.
I can't stop thinking about you either... Especially your last letter.
I want to know all the ways you'd make me yours.
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it as well. I'm counting the days with you until you're able to get out and do just that...
Y/N colored her lips with her favorite lipstick and kissed the bottom of the page, leaving the perfect kiss mark on it.
She had unlocked something with Duncan with the last letter. Ever since he and Y/N started to exchange letters back and forth, he hadn't even bothered to open mail from other admirers. He only had eyes for Y/N.
Y/N.
Wish you could hear how your name falls off my lips as I chant it over and over when I bring myself relief - picturing your lips around my cock.
God.
It's hard to think clearly when you're on my mind.
You want to know of all the ways I'd make you mine? My hand would fall off by the time it took to write out each and every way I'd do that, sweetheart.
For starters, I'd love to skin my teeth into your skin. Leaving sweet love bites along your neck. Would you like that?
I wouldn't want you to worry about a thing.
You'd let me take care of you, right baby?
Maybe I'd tie up your wrists to make sure you keep still while I work on making you cum.
I hope you know I plan on keeping these promises the moment I get out.
Y/N touched herself as she read Duncan's letter again. His words making her pool between her legs. She dipped her hand into her panties and imagined everything Duncan described that he'd do to her.
Y/N wanted to do something special for Duncan.
She changed into a lacy lingerie set and grabbed her old camera again. Her heartbeat was beating fast with excitement. She held one hand up with her finger on the shutter and pointed it towards her bottoms. As she dipped her free hand into the waistband of her panties, she took the teasing shot of her hand inside her underwear.
Her cheeks felt hot as she took a look at the photo.
She took a few more. A few more teasing pictures - like the one she took wearing her leather jacket barely covering her - along with more R- rated photos.
She grabbed her small stack of photos and tied them with a piece of ribbon in order from least to most risque and added them to the letter she sent off to him.
Do you know what you do to me?
My letters make you touch yourself? What I would give to be able to see it in more than just your pictures. To be able to hear you for myself.
You don't know how much I loved your photos. You make my cock throb, thinking of just how much I want to fuck you.
I need to see you. Hear you.
How would you feel about coming to see me?
I can arrange with my assistants (the ones not in prison) to arrange a flight for you...
Please let me know what you think.
Love, D.S.
Love D.S.

"Shepherd. You got a call," the guard buzzed Duncan out of his cell and took him to the phone booth where the phone was waiting for him.
He wasn't expecting a call from his lawyer until later this week so he wasn't sure who would be calling him. Not like he and his family were on great terms at the moment.
Y/N tapped her foot anxiously on the other end of the call, trying to fight the nerves off.
"Hello?"
His voice was lower than she expected.
"Hi," she spoke barely above a whisper. "It's Y/N," she continued.
"Y/N? Y/N? Oh my god." Duncan smiled in a way he hadn't since he stepped foot into prison. "Your voice!" he laughed, "I'm hearing your voice! Wait, how? I - why? How?" he was at loss for words at the surprise.
"I hope it's okay. I called the office where I send my letters to and asked to call you," she bit her lip. "I like your voice."
Duncan chuckled, shaking his head. "Wow. It's so good to hear yours."
They knew they didn't have much time but they were both so wrapped up in the fact that they were hearing each other for the first time.
"I, uh, also wanted to talk to you about your... proposal from your last letter... about visiting you I mean." she paced back and forth in her room. "I'd like that. A lot."
His cheeks would be hurting from how hard he was smiling.
"You've got it, baby. We'll make it happen, I promise."
There was a brief pause, "Don't know how I'm gonna control myself when I have you in front of me, princess."
"Two minutes, Shepherd," the guard called over making Duncan roll his eyes.
"I have to go soon. But include your info in the next letter and I'll have my lawyers work something out with you, okay?"
"Okay," she smiled. "And Dunc, it's so good to hear your voice too,"
"You'll call me again?" he asked, desperation almost bleeding into his tone.
"Yes. I promise."
"Good." he grinned. "I'll talk to you soon. Bye, baby."
-
Over the next few weeks, Y/N and Duncan continued to have phone calls more often, but their letters never stopped. He got in touch with his attorney and passed along Y/N's information for him to follow up and help arrange a trip for her.
Before she knew it, she was being flown out in a first class seat to D.C.
They had her stay in a luxury suite the night before she got to finally meet Duncan.
The morning of, Y/N had piles of clothes tossed around the room as she searched for what to wear.
She'd known Duncan and his taste pretty well from his letters and phone calls to know what he liked. Y/N put on a baby pink silk mini slip dress that tiptoed the line between streetwear and lingerie, and strappy heels.
"Damn, baby. Haven't seen you around here..."
"Are you here for me?"
Along with countless other cat calls flooded her ears as the guard led her to Duncan's cell.
Duncan heard the commotion down the hall and he knew Y/N would be there any second. He frowned, wanting to take her away. None of those creeps deserved to even look at her, and here they were harassing her. It was his fault for bringing her there. He tried to tune them out, wanting to be okay when he saw Y/N.
Y/N was standing behind the guard as they came to Duncan's cell.
"Follow me, Shepherd. You both have an hour," the guard let Duncan out and he could finally lock eyes with Y/N.
She froze, finally seeing. His photo on the website did him no justice. The piercing stare of his eyes couldn't be recaptured on camera. His pink, full lips were even prettier in person.
"Hi," Duncan broke the silence between them. He was handcuffed immediately so he couldn't touch her the way he wished he could have right away.
But they were taken to the parloir where they would finally have some sense of privacy. Duncan's lawyers had worked out for this conjugal visit. They might have slipped the guards a few extra bills to ensure Duncan and Y/N had extra privacy for a moment. But Duncan had been a model prisoner (in one of the comfiest prisons in the country), so the guards had no reason to say no.
"One hour." he reminded Dunc, as he removed his handcuffs and left the room, leaving Y/N and Duncan alone.
"You're here," he closed the gap between them and embraced her. She smelled even better than he imagined.
"Duncan," she smiled with tears in her eyes, "I can't believe it's really you," she giggled.
"It's me," he pulled back, holding her hands as he admired her. "God, you're gorgeous."
Y/N couldn't help herself. She threw her arms around Duncan and kissed him.
Duncan stumbled back a little before steadying them. He cupped her face and deepened the kiss. He could feel her pulse quickening under his hand.
"God, can't believe you're here," he mumbled against her lips.
It'd be so long since he'd be this intimate with anyone - let alone someone he liked so much. He tried to push back the thoughts of the ticking clock counting their time and the cold industrial feel of the room they were in.
"I'm here... I'm yours," she tangled her fingers in his hair before kissing him again.
Duncan led her to the table, setting her on top of it. He towered above her, his hands on her thighs, slowly inching up her dress. She was everything he imagined and more.
"Open your legs for me," he instructed, parting them open.
He lowered himself until he was face to face with her dripping cunt. Her panties, if they could even be called that - they were a piece of barely-there cloth - were soaked. Duncan pressed her lips to the wet spot on her underwear and kissed it slowly, letting his tongue poke out through his lips and coat them with his saliva as well.
"Taste so sweet," he murmured, pulling her panties aside and putting his tongue on her wet pussy.
He lapped her wetness with his tongue, letting it massage her clit. Sucking and kissing her - watching how every move he made caused a different reaction from her.
Y/N tried to keep quiet, biting down on her lip to stifle her moans.
Duncan peeked up at her, holding in her sounds. He remembered the way the other prisoners hollered at her.
"I wanna hear you, baby. Please," he begged. He kissed along her thighs, "Want everyone in this god damn prison to know you're mine."
Y/N let the sounds she was holding in fall freely.
"Duncan. Duncan..." she called his name over and over getting closer to the sweet relief his tongue promised.
"Cum for me, sweetheart."
Duncan felt her heels digging into his shoulder blades as she trembled, finishing on his lips.
"Good girl," he praised, kissing along her thighs.
Duncan stood up as Y/N watched him with her hands pressed on the table, leaning back slightly to watch him.
"What?" Duncan chuckled, slowly undoing his jumpsuit.
"Just can't stop looking at you! You're real!" she laughed.
"Sure am," he grabbed his shaft, closing the gap between them. "I don't know when we'll be able to see each other.. like this again," he leaned down to kiss her. "Wanna make sure I make you feel good,"
He rubbed the end of his cock against her pussy. "Are you ready?"
"Waited so long," she whined, nodding her head.
Duncan pushed inside her, slowly. Savoring the way he stretched her open.
"Fuck," he groaned. "You're so tight," he panted, feeling her clench around his length.
He focused on the way he snapped his hips into hers, keeping a steady pace trying not to finish before she did.
But it had been so long. It had been a long time coming for this moment.
His head was in the crook of her neck, panting heavily. "Fuck, baby." he sunk his teeth into her soft skin. "Gonna cum," before he could finish his statement, he shot his load into her.
He stayed inside her as he rode out his orgasm.
Flushed Duncan faced her; embarrassed for finishing before he wanted to. "I'm sor-" she stopped him by pulling him in for a hard, deep kiss.
She pushed his hair out of his face, bumping her nose with his, "Nothing to be sorry for."
She had Duncan lay on the floor, using his jumpsuit to hold his head up, and then straddled his waist.
Her silky mini dress was bunched around her hips. Duncan found himself getting hard again as she climbed on top of him.
"Thought about doing this for so long," she kissed him. "Can't tell you how often I touched myself reading your letters... thinking about riding you," she sighed, positioning herself over his cock and sinking down.
She rode his cock, bouncing up and down his length. Her nails dug into his chest as she used it for support. The curve of his cock hitting her core made her eyes roll back with each roll of her hips.
Hot sweaty bodies had the coldness of the room forgotten.
Y/N grabbed Duncan's hands, intertwining their fingers, "Gonna.." she started, her legs shaking as her movement got sloppier.
"Me too," he grunted.
She felt Duncan fill her to the brim for the second time.
After a few moments of stillness, Y/N finally stood up, helping Duncan up with her. Her legs were shaky and Duncan helped her sit down.
She reached into her purse for a rag she brought. Duncan took it from her hand and got on his knees again. He cleaned their cum off her thighs, stopping only to give her small little kisses on her legs.
He heard Y/N sniffle and looked up, concern painted across his face. "Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" Is she regretting it? He thought.
"No! Of course not," she sniffled again, "I just wish... you could come with me. Leave this place with me."
"Oh, baby," he stood up and kissed her forehead. "Soon. I promise," he tilted her chin up to kiss her.
And Y/N knew he meant what he said. Soon they'd be able to be together all the time, but it still broke her heart to leave and have to see him stay behind the metal bars.

BONUS TIME: B-SIDE TRACKS (thoughts and parts i liked)
Intro
i usually expect the intro to be like SUPER HYPE AND INTENSE yknow which it kinda is! however it is consistent that it fits very well and captures the overall vibe of the entire album the calm beginning with the bell like were walking into an establishment and at the halfway point it picks up its intriguing and the ‘i like you’ adds a subtle eeriness that adds just enough to make one wanna continue listening its v good 👌
Airplane
LISTEN……………… LISTEN- this is the VERY LAST genre i expected out of this group YET im not even a little bit shocked that they did this like this cutesy izone-esque summer bop of a song is a DREAMCATCHER™ song……………… YALL- THE AMOUNT OF SEROTONIN THAT ‘AIRPLANE LALALALALALA~~~~~~~’ BRINGS IS SOMETHING SO PERSONAL THIS SECOND GENERATION SUMMERY ASS INSTRUMENTAL WHAT IN THE F UCK- I FEEL LIKE IM RUNNING ON THE BEACH I FEEL THE COLD WIND OF THE WATER BUT THE HEAT OF THE SUN AGAINST MY SKIN AND IM PLAYING WITH A DAMN BEACH BALL WITH A COCONUT DRINK (I F UCKING H*TE LEAVING MY HOUSE) JIU AND DAMI SOUND SO F UCKING PHENOMENAL
Whistle
im pretty firm on believing these b sides represent different times of a summer day and this is the late evening or twilight like not nighttime but CLOSE- i thought i wasnt gonna like the whistling part but that only makes it catchieR THIS SONG IS MAKING ME YEARN AND TRYING TO RECALL LOVELY MEMORIES I DONT EVEN HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then again……………… theres always usually a song on their albums that make me unlock and feel hidden emotions………… THIS SONG GOT ME MISSING A PERSON THAT ISNT REAL this is such a mellow yet so powerful in the way they sing and express each syllable- they all did so good on this song but i gotta mention dami again for her part like oH mY gOoOoOooOoOOOooOD
Alldaylong
JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the way this song was inspired by a hug jiu got from yoohyeon…………… THIS IS NOT A JOKE she said ‘i wanna try city pop’ anD SHE DONE DID IT- i have NO IDEA how this song managed to hold so much joy and light happiness in every word and instrument used in this but im :ccccccc i literally wanna hug someone after listening to this 😔😔😔 this also makes me yearn for something but at least this one isnt unrealistic or unobtainable i dont think! there are some songs out there that make me cry from its lyrics and its sound but THIS ONE the lyrics and just how happy this song is bro reading the lyrics im about to cry for like the fifth time- they who im love so much… :ccccccc doesnt it make you just wanna hug someone and tell them you love them????????? that you appreciate them??????????
해바라기의 마음 (A Heart of Sunflower)

LIKE this is COMPLETELY surprising album BUT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE as its described it really is a ‘special’ album as while the title track still has their music style and sound theres still an element of summer (a very Terrifying™ summer BUT a ✨Summer✨ album nonetheless) like the b sides are SO different and COMPLETELY caught me off guard when i listened to the highlight medley YET this group of seven amazing and talented women pulled it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its extremely obvious at this point that their steady and organic growth has grown VERY HIGH this time and (although im still very confused by how everything was released and announced BUT i digress) this different kind of method in performing the song the day before seemed to work?????????? I DUNNO WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE this section could literally be summed to just I LOVE DREAMCATCHER SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
IN CONCLUSION: LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM BECAUSE ITS BOMB AS F UCK
AND AS ALWAYS

  Sizeshifter Shuichi x Kiyo
  Shuichi had seemingly grown since he's been yelling at the male. However, after he has finished his lecture it seemed that he'd gone back to his normal height. It was almost definitely interesting. Sometimes it seemed the male was shorter than before. One time he was standing next to Himiko, and seemed only a few inches taller than her. How had anyone not noticed?
  Regardless, Kiyo realized that his crush, Shuichi, seemed to shift size. Most likely depending on emotions. And most likely, he couldn't control them.
  So Kiyo, being the curious cat that he is, decided it wouldn't hurt to do a bit of... experimenting.
  It started off plain and simple. He would personally provoke emotions inside the smaller boy, then record them. Of course, he'd do this away from others. He was not so cruel as to divulge his secret. He simply wanted to study this strange ability.
  One day after class, he hung around with his friend group. Nothing too out of the ordinary. When the boy laughed, it seemed that his hat ended up falling over his head, like it was too big. Kiyo didn't personally have to do anything, and it seemed his secret was still safe. Good.
  Of course there were feelings Kiyo had to rely on other things for. He couldn't think of a way to provoke sadness in him. But... he could scare him.
  Shuichi was in the bathroom. Kiyo had... admittedly stalked him there. Once the door opened, Shuichi walked out and Kiyo quickly stepped right out from behind the door. Seemingly out of nowhere, causing the smaller boy to yelp. Well... he was smaller. For only a split second it seemed the male grew to almost the same height as Kiyo. Not enough for someone to think he had an ability. One would probably just think they mis-saw something. Shuichi quickly went back to normal size. Ah...
  "My apologies. I did not mean to startle you." Kiyo said, giving a slight bow as a sorry before disappearing into the bathroom.
  Very interesting. He wondered how the male would react to severe amounts of stress. Well... that was rather easy to figure out. He knew his reaction to it would probably divulge his secret if anyone around. That's why Kiyo distracted him his entire week he had to study for a test. That's why on the day of the test, when Shuichi rushed out of the room to the bathroom, Kiyo followed him.
  The male had locked himself in the bigger stall, and Kiyo, of course, wasn't going to intrude. But, he did knock on it. Just to spike some more stress. Nice. "O-Occupied!!"
  The voice definitely belonged to the detective. But it was a lot louder than he felt it should've been. There was a loud thud. "..." Kiyo simply walked out. No need to cause any damage to the actual room. The male seemed to grow a good amount when under stress.
  For maybe a month these experiments continued. He was able to examine his behaviors and record them. However, one last emotion. But judging from what he'd seen, he'd also judge it wasn't too difficult to cause it.
  Constantly, while Kiyo had been studying him, he found Shuichi looking at him. Sometimes Kiyo could see him staring when he thought he wasn't looking, and Shuichis hat would get bigger again. It fascinated him. Of course, after some digging he was able to get out of his more eccentric friend, Kaede, that the male did have feelings for him.
  Oh, how wonderful!
  It was time for the last emotion he needed to record. After extra curricular activities, he stopped outside of Shuichi's club room. Everyone exited, and that left Shuichi in there, alone. He entered.
  Shuichi tilted his head and looked back to see who came in. It seemed the smaller boy was getting ready to leave. Normal size. "Oh... hey, Kiyo. Did you need something...?"
  He asked, with a curious tilt to the head.
  "As a matter of fact... yes. I'd like to talk to you about something. Maybe ask you a question or such." He hummed in thought, walking directly up to the boy. Probably too close for comfort.
  And he got a little bit smaller. He took a few steps away. "Oh... am I... did I do something...?" He blinked a few times, seeming a little nervous.
  And Kiyo continued taking steps forward. "Oh no, you needn't worry. It's nothing... wrong." He shook his head. The more steps he took, the more Shuichi took back. He seemed to be getting a little shorter. Kiyo ended up hovering over him, Shuichis back against the wall.
  He leaned down so that they were eye level, putting a hand on the wall behind him and leaning forward a little bit. "..." Shuichi's eyes were wide. There was a red tint in his cheeks. It seemed he was processing what was happening. "What, exactly, are your feelings for me, dear Shuichi?" Kiyo's voice was low, and soft. His face was close to the others.
  Finally, it seemed the past few events caught up with the detective. His face began a flustered color. "I-I..." oh jeez. Shuichi had no idea what he was supposed to do. He covered his face with his hands, attempting to try and calm himself down. And then he was engulfed in darkness.
  Kiyo blinked a few times. He did... not expect that. He knelt down onto the ground, carefully sliding two bandages fingers under the bill of the hat, lifting it. Wow... 
  Shuichi Saihara had shrunk down to the size of a freakin paper clip. Kiyo's eyes were wide. He didn't know his size could fluctuate this much. How beautiful!
  Shuichis hands were still over his face. Kiyo very carefully poked the boy's side with his finger, wanting to get his attention. Shuichi slowly lowered his hands as he felt the boy poke his side, though it felt more than a small poke. His eyes widened. Oh. O h. Shuichi was panicking now. He couldn't get smaller than this, so he didn't have to worry about that at least. But- he'd shrunk. Right in front of Kiyo.
“O..oh...” was all the smaller male could manage to say. Just ‘oh’.
“I was not... expecting you to become this small.” Kiyo murmured under his breath. He carefully took the top back of the boy’s shirt with two of his fingers, lifting him off the ground. Shuichi squeaked as he felt himself get plopped into the bandaged hand of the normal sized male.
“H-huh...” Shuichi couldn’t focus enough to try and calm down and turn back. He felt smaller than ever, so he was gonna stay small. Whether he liked it or not.
“...it truly is a fascinating thing, fluctuating size...” Kiyo murmured, bringing the boy close to his face to examine him. Shuichi stared at him wide eyed, trying not to get scared or flustered.
“...h-huh-... so you...”
“Knew? Yes, I’ve been knowing. Though I must admit, seeing you at such a smaller scale... you really are quite adorable.” He hummed. Shuichi seemed paralyzed, unknowing what to do. Why would he ever even be prepared for this? Why would he ever think hed be in this situation?
“...a-adorable..?”
Kiyo didn’t respond. He just held him there in his hand, staring at him. “...I suppose it would be best if I were to bring you to your home. It doesn’t seem you’ll be going many places this size, and I don’t believe you’ll grow while I’m near. But I cannot simply leave you, since we’ve no idea when you’d grow back in general.”
“...w...was that what that was?” Shuichi frowned softly.
Kiyo blinked, tilting his head. “Was that what what was?” He noticed Shuichi had gotten maybe an inch bigger.
“...p...pinning me against the wall like that. Getting close... asking that question...” another inch bigger. Shuichi still felt relatively small, so of course he’d stay that way. But, he was slightly... well, he didn’t know. But it made him grow a little bit. “J...Just so you could see the outcome...?” His voice sounded bitter.
The anthropologist blinked a few times. “...” Was that the only reason? The answer was no. Kiyo did wanna see what would happen. But also... he wanted confirmation. He needed confirmation about the boys’ feelings towards him. “No.”
“...” Shuichi looked up at him, waiting for him to tell him why else he got that close, said those things, spoke that way, etc. but Kiyo simply picked up Shuichi’s things. Everyone in their class knew everyone’s address since they had weekly hang outs, so he easily knew where he lived.
Shuichi didn’t speak at all the whole time, but remained small. Eventually shrinking back a few inches to when he first originally shrunk. Tiny one inch detective. Once Kiyo pulled up to his door, he searched Shuichi’s bag for a key and unlocked it. He placed his bags down inside and left the key on the counter. He looked at the boy in his hand one more time.
“...thanks... thank you.” Shuichi murmured. He was glad that... even though someone found out, at least it was Kiyo.
“...” The male pulled down his mask, and softly placed a kiss on the boy, though got lipstick over his clothes and such. He was tinier, so the male’s soft lips kissed the entire male. He quickly pulled up his mask after, setting the boy on the counter without explanation or saying and quickly left.
Shuichi just stared. He kissed him? Like- kissed him? Kissed him- like lips? Like lips kiss? Hsjdjfjrjgjfd. The male curled up in a flustered ball, but then felt himself seem to fall off the counter. “!!!” Ah. He was back to normal size, so no harm done as he hit the ground. He blinked. How come he was back to normal?
Ahhh. Shuichi curled up again, smiling slightly to himself.
Yay. Ok. Uhm. The end. Uhm. Yes.

ahhh I love your work!! Can you please do 6 and 14 with female reader and Poe? :) I’m a big fat sucker for a juicy friends to lovers.
A Night on Courscant
Plot: Poe and Y/n are stranded on Coruscant searching for a hotel room. But when do things ever go according to plan?
Warnings: extreme steam 🔥
Word Count: 1.9k
A/N: Why does every Poe imagine I write turn so thirsty? 😂 I’m not upset about it. I also managed to get every trope possible in this one including the famed ‘there was one bed.’
(And thank you so much, anon, for the kind words!)
————-
6: “You keep saying that we’re friends but you look at me for a moment too long for that to be true.”
14: “Don’t pretend that you don’t feel the same way.”
————
It was supposed to be a one day diplomatic mission to Coruscant. We were supposed to be back at base by nightfall until our ship’s compressor had decided against that decision. I’d contacted Leia to let her know the situation and she said she’d send a ship first thing in the morning. Until then, Poe and I were walking through the heart of the metropolitan planet in search of a hotel for the night.
“If I remember right,” Poe pointed towards a cluster of smaller buildings, “One of those has rooms for pretty cheap. Between the two of us, we should be able to swing it.”

“Good,” I replied, “I’m ready to put an end to this day.”
“Aw, c’mon, sweetheart,” Poe pulled me into his side, “There’s a lot worse people to be stuck with for the night.”

I laughed, trying to ignore the hammering of my heart at being pressed against him. Falling in love during war was dangerous, but falling in love with your best friend during war was just plain unfair.
“Look at it this way,” Poe said, “We had to sit through a criminally boring meeting, lost our ship and are stranded on a planet we hardly know. It can only get better from here.”

Like clockwork, just as Poe had finished his sentence, it began to rain. Upon the first drops hitting, he bit down frustratedly on his lip and nodded.
“You’re right,” I said over the growing noise, “This is better.”

Poe sighed and reached for my hand, “Come on.”
We dashed through the city, weaving between people on the crowded sidewalks, as the light drizzle picked up and turned to a torrential downpour. Luckily, the hotel Poe knew about was close by and it didn’t take long to make our way over. However, with the strength of the storm, we were soaked to the bone by the time we got there.
Poe had compiled both our credits and we stood at the check-in desk, awaiting our room key. In my exhaustion, I hadn’t realized I was staring at my friend. The rain had soaked through the cream colored shirt he was wearing, making the outlines of his chest extremely visible. He’d pushed his wet curls off his face but one of them stubbornly stayed in place against his forehead, perfectly out of place. There was a reason that Poe was the poster boy of the Resistance, someone that beautiful deserved to have their face all over the galaxy.
Once the worker returned with our room key, Poe and I were quick to make our way up to our floor. The sooner we went to sleep, the sooner we’d get to go home. When Poe unlocked the room and switched on the lights, we were met with the surprise that there was only one bed.
“I could’ve sworn I asked the guy for a room with two beds,” Poe said.
“I was there, you did,” I sighed, my thoughts running rampant at our situation.
Poe rubbed at his neck, a nervous habit of his, “I guess we could make it work?”

“Yeah, of course,” I replied quickly, “I mean we’re…we’re friends.”

I must have been tired because I thought I heard Poe hesitate before saying, “Yeah, friends.”

He locked the door and we fully entered the room, I was trying to figure out how to navigate the night without it being too awkward. It was too late and I was too tired for a shower and it wasn’t like I had other clothes to change into. Not to mention I’d caught a chill during the storm and was freezing, all I wanted to do was get into bed.
“Um,” I began, “We’re going to need to, uh, get out of these clothes.”

Poe nodded, “I can turn around and you can get in bed, that way I won’t see anything.”

“O-okay,” I said, Poe promptly turned around and awkwardly cleared his throat. I peeled my long sleeved shirt off, followed by my boots and pants. I was left only in my undergarments, more cold than I’d been with my layers still on. I hurriedly climbed into the bed and pulled the covers over me. 

“You’re safe,” I said, Poe slowly turned around and smiled at the sight of just my head peeking out from the blankets.
Without warning, he shrugged his jacket off his shoulders and reached behind him to pull his shirt over his head. I should’ve turned around instantly, but the shock of seeing his toned chest on display had caused my brain to short-circuit. After a few seconds, I caught myself and nervously turned on my side, mumbling an apology. I felt like a complete idiot. Poe moved under the sheets and I could feel the heat that practically radiated off of him warm the bed,
“Can I ask you something?” he quietly asked, I still hadn’t turned to face him.
“Sure,” I squeaked.
“If you were to describe you and I, what words would you use?”

I squinted in confusion, almost wishing that we would have gone to bed silently. Every word I wished I could use flooded my mind, but none of them had any place in our reality.
“Well,” I started, attempting to sound nonchalant “We’re friends.”

Poe hummed, “You keep saying that we’re friends but you look at me for a moment too long for that to be true.”
My eyes widened in horror before I turned over to face a very smug looking Poe.
“W-what are you talking about?” I asked.

Poe gave me a knowing stare, “Do you honestly think I haven’t noticed how you look at me? I know because,” he took a deep breath, “It’s the same way I look at you.”

I must have looked ridiculous, my jaw slack and my eyes slitted as I tried to comprehend what Poe was admitting to. Was he saying…he felt the same?

“I-I-Poe, I don’t know what-I mean-“ I cut my babbling off with my hand running over my face.
“Y/n, you heard what I said, don’t pretend that you don’t feel the same way,” Poe said with a nervous laugh.

I turned my head to look at him, his deep brown eyes looked so determined and yet so vulnerable at the same time. It was taking a lot for him to admit his feelings to me, even if he seemed confident about it. If he could do it, then I could too…
“Yes, Poe,” I whispered before adjusting the volume of my voice, “I have feelings for you. But that doesn’t change the fact that I can’t do anything about them.”

“What?” he said, “I thought I just-“

“Yes, you did,” I interrupted, “And I’ve dreamed about hearing you saying something like that for so long but, Poe, we’re in the middle of a war. It’s a terrible idea for to get involved with someone when there’s a chance you’ll lose them the next day.”

Poe’s eyebrows scrunched together sadly as he listened to me, I was fighting back a few tears myself. It broke my heart to say, but it was true. The one thing that had always stopped me from telling Poe how I felt was the paralyzing fear of getting to love him and then having him ripped away from me.
“I disagree,” he objected, scooting his body closer to me, “Yeah, we live more dangerous lives than most people but that doesn’t mean we should have to give up stuff like…this.”

With very little space left between us, Poe gently took my hand and pressed it to his bare chest, just over his heart. I could feel its steady beat, though clearly a little faster than usual with the moment we were wrapped up in.
“I know it’s scary, the thought of losing you has woken me up in the middle of the night too many times. But I can’t keep going on like this. I want to know what it’s like to hold you, to kiss you, I want to know what it’s like to love you. Whether we win or lose this war,” Poe’s voice cracked with emotion, “I want to be by your side.”
If he hadn’t made it easy on me before, he was making it nearly impossible now. With every word he said, my heart swelled and my mind went blank as it searched for a rebuttal.

“Please give us a shot, Y/n,” Poe whispered as he studied my face, trying to find his answer.
Words failed me as I felt the pounding of his heart in my palm, the metaphor of it not lost on me. Poe had laid everything out for me to either take or destroy. It was my call. And I knew with my new knowledge, I couldn’t spend another day living in the misery of loving him and not doing anything about it.
I slid my hand off his chest, grasping his hand and placing it on my hip. His fingers tensed at first at the feeling of my skin, his eyes locking with mine searching for hesitation. When he found none, he relaxed and squeezed my waist gently. I shifted closer into him till our chests were pressed together, I shivered at the contact as I shakily moved my hands to grip his shoulders. Poe maneuvered his arm under me to wrap around my waist, enveloping me in him. We were standing on the edge, about to fall into something wonderful.
“I-I think I can give you more than a shot,” I whispered, watching the way his eyes lit up at my words.
Poe slowly dragged a finger along my figure till he reached my chin, tilting my chin up so our lips met. Finally. Months of desire and longing exploded in a single kiss, the euphoria of the moment ran through my veins. Our lips danced together in perfect harmony, moving together slowly and passionately. Poe’s tongue slid between my lips, begging for permission to deepen the kiss, and I happily parted for him with a whimper. As he entered, he rolled onto his back and pulled me with him so I was straddling him. He sat up and pulled me tighter to him while also snaking a hand up to my back. I rocked against Poe as my hands slid into his wet hair, eliciting a groan from him at the combination of sensations. The hand against my spine moved to the back of my head, pushing me as close as he could possibly have me and intensifying our kiss. This was surely the definition of bliss; a soaking wet Poe Dameron moaning beneath me and kissing me like it was our last night alive.
———————
The next morning, redressed in our now dry clothes, we met Rey and Finn on a landing platform. The sight of the Falcon was a welcome one as Poe and I did our best to appear as if nothing had changed between us. Once we boarded, Rey came up and us both hugs, followed directly by a gasp.
“What?” I asked, worried she’d sensed something was wrong or-
Shit.
“Finn!” she called out before racing off to wherever he was, “You owe me twenty credits!”

“Were they betting on us?” I said with a horrified chuckle.
“Does it matter?” he smiled, “I’m the real winner, I finally get to be with you.”

Year in Review - Animal Crossing New Horizons
I started writing this review/criticism in May of 2020 but decided to update it as the year went along and post it on the anniversary of NH’s release. I would like to preface that this is mostly going to be full of questions of criticisms, I love this game. I have not been able to put it down since I got it on March 20th. My first AC game was NL and then I played HHD. I was ecstatic when they announced NH at E3 2019 and kept trying to find other games to fit in my AC shaped hole in my heart but I wasn’t able to fill it till this game came out. I feel like the pace of the game is great with how you build up to unlocking terraforming and 5 stars, and I feel like the updates are well timed especially with how crazy 2020 was for everybody. That being said there were some things that irked me. 
Some of the points I will bring up came from other people/commenters I have seen on here, Discord, Reddit, and Twitter that I also agree with. Some other points are from Youtubers such as ShayMay and ChuyPlays. And others are from me. 
With that out of the way, let’s get on with the review. Warning, I guess, don’t expect this to be an essay, this is just a patchwork quilt made up of thoughts.
Terraforming
I wish cliffs/tiers had a smaller level? Like how we’re able to make stepping stones for our rivers if we don’t want to put a bridge down/use our vaulting pole. I just wish there was a cliff alternative. 
Another cliff alternative would be if we could put bridges between cliffs. I think we’ve all been there where we see this picture 
Tumblr media
          thought ‘we can do that!!” then realized it was photoshopped
When we go into terraforming, I wish a grid showed up on our island. It would make it much easier to avoid hitting the wrong square when I’m trying to change a river. 
Having us be able to “close” a waterfall from a lower level but not create a new on at the same spot. 
Also the fact we can add a 4th tier but can’t put anything on it is just strange to me. I know we have to have a limit to how high we can go, but at least let me put nature stuff, such as trees/flowers/bushes, on top of it instead of just a flat piece of land. 
Houses
Why no ceiling items? Find it odd they added a bunch of stuff in HHD and didn’t add that to the new mainline game
There’s no reason I can think of to why we can’t access our storage when we’re crafting inside our house. 
Buildings
Dodo Airlines
The Dodo Islands right now are very boring and barely use them. I have enough money and materials to not go farming and save up all my NMTs for when I go villager hunting, which has also become a rarity. I think it would be a good idea to make some islands seasoned themed. Have them be all rare, but have an island where it’s fall and has maple leaves falling, a cherry blossom one, one with snowflakes. I wouldn’t recommend they make Holiday themed ones, but having seasonal ones would be nice.
When I mess up a dodo code or accidentally hit ‘make a bridge’ instead of incline, etc. why do I have to restart the ENTIRE conversation instead of the characters just being “oh? did you mean “x” or “would you like to retype it?” like is it that hard??  
Resident Services
As much as I love Isabelle this game has made me very indifferent towards her. I think they gave her a role that didn’t need to exist. They could have either let us roam around without any warnings to who was roaming around our island, in the campsite, or any weather updates. Just have us rely on our villagers, the TV, and our eyeballs. OR they could have given us a social media like app and/or a weather app. Instead, they gave us Isabelle that only announces something once a month.
Nook’s Cranny
This might just be me but can they add a little DIY area in the store? Maybe just make to where you can only customize things?? This is more out of convenience than an actual problem  
Speaking of customization, since you can make medicine but also buy can we do the same for the custom kits and bait. Like make it where we can buy bait and also make our own custom kits? I just think it’s weird that they give us either/or for medicine but not for the other 2 that I honestly use way more than medicine.
Why do the Able Sisters get to have all of the colors of an item in their shop but Nook’s Cranny can’t? And why can’t we just be able to customize all items that have multiple looks/colors? Example, why can’t I just be able to change the wood type for the antique set instead of having to buy each one? I get that the furniture catalog is already small, but that’s not my fault. They’ve decided to not add past furniture sets into NH. 
Able Sisters
Let us multi select clothes instead of it just being how much we can wear. idc if it’ll just put those clothes in our personal storage and then we’ll have to run home and put it in that storage, I just hate having to walk back in and out every time I want a dress in multi colors. ALSO tell us if we already bought it, like a little storage icon or something
Why can’t we hang any article of clothing on the back wall, why do we have to either make it or have the OG qr designer come to our island? 
Why can’t we have the transparent option when designing clothes? I think it would make many designer’s lives easier instead of having to make 8 versions of the same outfit.
NPCs
I have played this game almost every day since it came out, minus 2 days. I have also been able to make friends on discord that help with trading/cataloging/etc. I have all of Saharah’s, Kicks’, Label’s, and Redd’s items. I have all of the fish/bug models I want and have no desire to “catch them all”. I haven’t talked to Wisp in months because I have most of the items and his idea of “expensive” is 10k bells. The only NPC I actively look forward to is Celeste because even though I now have all of her DIYs, she still gives out star fragments, regular large or horoscope, when I talk to her. 
What I’m wondering is if they’re planning on doing anything else with these characters. Before I speak further I’m going to weed out characters that I am actually fine with. CJ and Flick will always be there if I want a bug/fish model, I understand that Saharah/Kicks/Redd have a ton of stuff to get and w/o the help of my discord friends, I probably wouldn’t have gotten everything till late 2021. 
So that leaves Label and Wisp. I understand Wisp is there for beginners, but now that I’m at a point where I am a bell millionaire and have most of the Nook’s items cataloged, there is no reason for me to talk to him. I wish Nintendo had put in a system where depending on the person who Wisp is talking to, it determines how much money you have in your bank account/looks at your catalog, Wisp’s item’s worth goes up.
As for Label...I never saw her as viable. I also thought the tickets were dumb and you don’t even have to talk to her to have her items show up in the shop the next day. I think it would be great if when you bought all of her items, she decided to join the Able’s sisters in their shop like in NL and then have Gracie show up in her place for the weekly NPC. 
Where is Blanca? Or Brewster? Or Shrunk, Katrina, Gracie, or Kapp’n and his family? I understand we will probably never see characters like Harriet or Pete because they have been replaced by a new system, but what is the excuse for these other characters? I’m hoping they show up in year 2 of NH but...we’ll see.
Villagers
I think having your first villagers living in basic homes is a good idea but one that quickly gets annoying. I found Sherb while villager hunting for the 1st time and have had him ever since, but his house is stuck at basic lazy setup. Instead of me going back and forth on whether or not i should trust somebody enough to hold Sherb, get somebody else out, then get him to move back to my island, You can have it to where you let them leave, then just wait till he comes to the campsite to visit and reinvite him. You get his actual house and he still remembers you. This could also go for you accidentally letting somebody go or letting somebody go then regretting it. Also it’d be fun to see some old villagers again.
I was curious and looked back on past games to see how many new villagers were released each game and NH has been the least amount. NL released 112 new villagers in total while NH has released 8. I’m hoping they might release more down the line but, hella disappointing imo. Along with the Sanrio update and adding those characters to the game, I am more hopeful that they’ll be adding new characters!
Having an “event” of sorts where you visit a villager’s house and they’re looking inside their closet. They look at you in surprise when you walk in and sheepishly explain that they were going through their clothes/items. They then decide to ask you for help since they can’t decide what to get rid of/what to keep and think you have a good eye for that sort of thing. Basically, a way to get rid of any clothes/items your villager somehow received bc I guess Isabelle scolding them isn’t enough.
A big problem I feel like everybody has is the villager dialogue. Yes they added sub personality types for each personality but they are not perfectly cut in half, ex. are the Sisterly types where there are 4 B types and 20 A types, like?? How I have “fixed” this problem is by having one of each personality type on my island so I always have different conversations with my villagers, but I understand not a lot of people do that. Some people just want normal/peppy types on their island bc they’re cute as hell, I get it. I know it would be...difficult to come up with unique dialogue for all 399 villagers, including Sanrio, but....you could at least for the “gimmicky” villagers. Some examples of these villagers are Ribbot and Sprocket, Lucky and Ankha, the super hero squad, and Kabuki. 
Quality Life stuff
Why cant we sit AND wish on stars? And I don’t mean the sit emote; why can’t I sit on a bench and wish on stars?
It sucks when I’m about to hit my rocks or just do a lot of dig work and then my shovel breaks in the middle of it. To show the tool is about to break, cracks should start to form on the handle and get deeper/longer as you keep using it, starting when you have 5 uses left. You can also add an auditory element by making the tool sound like its struggling when you are using it. Net/Shovel/Axe/Fishing Pole can have cracks show up on the handle, Slingshot can have crack show up at the bottom of the 2 spokes while having 1 at the top of the handle. And the watering can have cracks at the base of the can.
If our inventory is full when I dig up a flower, why can’t I replace it with another flower to bury? And if I can dig up an item at an diagonal item, I should be able to bury it again at the same angle.
Other
Having more...liveliness?? on the island, idk how else to say it. Example is whenever you travel by plane there's a chemtrail in the sky afterwards, maybe just seeing other planes go by throughout the day. Maybe you can get a hint Redd or Gulliver will be visiting you tomorrow if you see their boats beyond the horizon, Redd’s just crusin’ and the Gulls’ boats looking messed up. On a week where you don't have a new camper, maybe have an old villager visit. That leads me too
I wish villager’s doors could count as “exterior decorating” and we can just put any ornamental on there instead having to hope that your villager will put the wreath on their own door. 
Conclusion
If you read this whole thing holy shit, thanks!! Go treat yourself on my part lol If you disagreed with me or whatever feel free to chat with me about it!

Caerul Design Notes,
because I’ve actually put a lot of thought into creating Caerul’s aesthetic and I’m lowkey really proud of it.  I won’t get into her actual character concept/personality/backstory/etc. since this got super long, but this is how/why I made the choices I did with regards to her name and visual design!
Tumblr media
▶ Caerul’s color scheme started off way bluer (hence the name “Caerul,” from caeruleus/a/um - “blue”/“cerulean”/“azure”/“of the sky/sea” in Latin) and less saturated, but when I gave her a (dead) twin with a red theme, I wanted them to look more alike and made both of their hair purple (although I haven’t actually done more than sketch Roseus before... he’s got purple hair and red eyes).  Purple’s my favorite color, and unnatural hair colors don’t seem to be uncommon in Orth, so why not, right?   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯   The red elements in Caerul’s design are meant to represent her honoring Roseus!
Tumblr media
All of the base colors I use when drawing Caerul! They all end up looking a bit darker once they’re shaded though.
▶ As well as shamelessly using one of my favorite Latin words (I’m a Classics major, okay ;;>~>), I also tried to pick a name that sounded similar to the ones that already exist in-universe.  This was actually fairly tricky, since as far as I can tell the names in Made in Abyss have a WIDE variety of influences.  Some of them seem passably Japanese-sounding (Riko, Jiruo, Kiyui, Nanachi) disclaimer I bring dishonor to my ancestors and know 0 Japanese so this is just about vibez, others seem Western-ish (Reg, Nat, Lyza, Prushka).  Some are fairly whimsical (Shiggy, Maruruk, Mitty) while others are more mysterious and fantastic (Any of the White Whistles besides maybe Lyza).  The only common thread I could really settle on was a general fantasy feeling to all of the names.  I tried to capture that nebulous vibe with Caerul’s name, although with something so vague and subjective it’s pretty much impossible to say if I was entirely successful.  I named her siblings afterward with other Latin color words and ended up with a RGB theme lol.
▸ By the way, “Caerul” is pronounced “KAI-rool.”  It rhymes with “Hyrule.”  The ae diphthong makes an “eye” sound in Latin #TheMoreYouKnow
▸ “Caducalae” is a portmanteau of “caducae alae,” literally “falling/doomed/futile wings” in Latin (again), playing off how pointless it is to be able to fly when the Curse of the Abyss is a thing.  Originally, they weren’t supposed to work at all outside of the Abyss, but I decided that was boring for crossovers/other verses so I scrapped it.  I’m not too happy with the name since it doesn’t fit the naming scheme of the canon relics (there is no precedent at all for gratuitous Latin in Made in Abyss, which is a good thing because it’s overused in fantasy, but Latin was the only thing I was good at in high school sooooo... ^^;), but I didn’t like any of my other ideas that much, either.  “Wings of Futility” feels more canon, but it’s also kinda depressing :/
▶ I’ve mentioned before that Caerul’s build is based off of mine for art reference purposes (it’s convenient to just look in the mirror while making the pose I want =w=)b), but another reason she’s so short is that I didn’t have to make the caducalae quite as big since she’s smaller, so she can actually go indoors if she’s careful.
▶ Long hair isn’t super practical with mechanical wings with lots of bits for it to get caught in, but Caerul idolizes Lyza, so I left her hair as long as I could reasonably get away with.
▶ I heavily referenced the canon Made in Abyss character designs for Caerul’s clothing so she would fit into the world, but made some alterations to make everything more personal to her and accommodate for her wings.  In general, I lightened everything up, since she takes a bunch of short, quick trips rather than lengthy expeditions.  Her gloves, for instance, are loosely inspired by the ones we see many delvers wearing in the manga/anime, but are less heavy-duty and are convertible mittens/fingerless gloves for better dexterity with handling letters and such.  
Tumblr media
The best close up of the gloves I could find was actually a screenshot of the aftermath Reg & Riko’s orb piercer encounter, but I didn’t want to have to tag this for gore, so you get Lyza ^^; There’s a filter over Caerul here so you can see the glove better which is why she looks kinda washed out :/
▶ Her coat is heavily influenced by Jiruo’s, since he’s the only Moon Whistle we’ve seen in canon.  
Tumblr media
yeah, uhhhh, sorry to yoink your style my dude ^^;
▸ Caerul’s has a different color palette, a simpler lapel border, an extra set of outer pockets, and three separate panels in the back that button around her wings so she can put it on! I haven’t drawn it, but her shirt works similarly.  
Tumblr media
This is my favorite detail about her design tbh... it’s just really satisfying what a logical solution it is for some reason???  the original doodle is off rotting somewhere in my Modern European History notes, but I tried to recreate it just as sloppily here =w=)b
▶ Caerul’s corset isn’t just a painful fashion choice - it’s actually meant to be a(n admittedly heavily stylized) brace for her back against the weight of her wings.  
▶ Since Caerul can’t wear a backpack with the wings, I had to get creative with storage options for her.  In addition to an undetermined number of pockets on the inside of her coat, I gave her these two pouches on her thighs to carry more stuff.  
Tumblr media
I wonder how buff your quads could get carrying a significant amount of weight there...
▸ Messenger bags don’t seem super practical for delving, so I didn’t design a specific one for her to carry all the time, but Caerul does use them on occasion.  Even with that, though, she still has far less carrying capacity than the average delver, which is a problem she has to deal with when carrying out her duties!
▶ The wings/caducalae were by far the most difficult part of designing Caerul, and it took several redesigns over 2+ years before I was finally happy with them.  Their first design was deliberately far simpler in the interest of having to draw them a zillion times, but they ended up clunky and unwieldy looking: 
Tumblr media
chonky o~O
▸ The final design is MUCH more of a pain to draw (in fact, a lot of the time I cheat and just copy and paste them from drawings I’ve already done), but I think it looks much sleeker and more “functional”.  
Tumblr media
I also got better at making my diagrams look slightly more authentic ;0
▸ I knew I wanted jetpack-style thrusters to be a component of the wings to somewhat justify the shit I wanted Caerul to be able to pull with them (especially to eliminate the need for accounting for the damage landing suddenly could do to her ankles), but incorporating them proved to be one of the biggest problems of the design.  At one point, they were going to have a whole separate attachment point on her back, but I finally just made them an offshoot of the first “joint,” as you can see in the final design.  
Tumblr media
A really messy intermediate caducalae sketch.  The weird double pentagon shape was meant to be the part of the relic actually fused to Caerul’s back, but I scrapped that too when I scrapped the separate limbs for the thrusters.
▸ Speaking of the joints, they’re all balls so they can rotate all over and I don’t have to fuss too much about how they move.  Likewise, the frame is metal, but I treat it like it’s kind of flexible, so Caerul can “flex” the wings open and closed.  These wings are hard enough to draw period okay I’m giving myself every excuse to be inconsistent af on purpose.
▸ The caducalae have some “bonus” features that I’ve sketched out, but that Caerul hasn’t unlocked yet, and won’t for a while.  
Tumblr media
owo what’s this?
▸ For the wings, I think my biggest inspirations were some of the mechier Cardfight!! Vanguard dragon units (although I don’t remember which cards specifically) and the energy wings on the ninth-generation knightmares in Code Geass R2.
Tumblr media
I’ve made a lot of OCs, and since I don’t like to use faceclaims, I’ve done a fair amount of character designing.  I don’t think I’ve ever spent as much time or had as much fun with any of them as I have with Caerul, though!  OCs aren’t always super well accepted in fandom roleplay, but the Made in Abyss community has been super welcoming and I’ve had a blast.  Thanks for listening to me gush about Caerul if you got this far, and thank you to everyone who’s interacted with her!  
Tumblr media
The original sketch of Caerul from back in 2017.  How far we’ve come :’D

4TH OF J U L Y S A L V A T O R E S C H O O L
Landon was outside, trying to set up an outdoor movie session with Rafael. With his best friend in wolf form and no idea how to bring him back to normal, he just wanted to be able to make him as comfortable as possible. And that meant trying to make him a wolf den.
"So, I should probably tell you I moved rooms last month. Ours was getting painted, and I figured I'd move back in once you were, you know, you again," Landon said. "But if for any reason you become you while I'm out, like looking for ways to help you become you, I just didn't want you to go back and see that I wasn't in our room anymore and think that I bailed on you because I would never do that obviously. I also brought the photos of that mystery girl I told you about into the new room with me so the painters don't... yanno, mess them up."
Rafael approached, growling. Landon wondered what Rafael would say about the girl in the photos. He noticed that in the ones they had with her, he had a certain look on his face that Landon hadn't seen in a while. Not since Cassie. He wondered if there was perhaps something that had gone on between them, and if there was, he was sad that his best friend may never remember.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
"No matter what path I go down, it seems like a dead end. I mean, there were at least two other people with Landon the night Malivore was destroyed," Alaric said as he walked around town square with his daughter, standing behind people holding things to decorate for the holiday. "They left fibers, footprints, hair. I just don't know who they were."
"Maybe one of them is Lilah," Josie suggested. "She had to go somewhere, and if none of us remember her, the only logical explanation is into Malivore. And that's just the point of Malivore, if someone went into the pit, they'd be erased from our memories."
"Yeah, well, that's what's haunting me," Alaric replied. "Who've we forgotten? There was two others there. It can't just be this Lilah girl."
"It couldn't have been anybody we've known. There'd be keepsakes, photos, an empty bed somewhere. We only have Lilah's, so if someone else went into that pit with her, it's not someone we knew," Josie shrugged.
"Well, whoever they were, they were important to somebody."
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

"Why is she running around and decorating the Abbatoir?" Rebekah muttered, watching as Lorelle went around the Mikaelson compound with Fourth of July decorations. "She doesn't even know that America is like, she's been dead for over a thousand years."
"Maybe she's feeling a bit patriotic," shrugged Marcel, grabbing her hands and bringing them closer to him as they sat on the couch. "Rebekah, I know you've been missing your brothers lately, and I understand you're upset with Lilah for not telling us about her identity sooner, but she's your family, babe. You guys already spent a thousand years without your niece, and now you want to spend more?"
"What does my frustration with my brother's daughter have to do with her mother running amongst decorating?"
"I think it's cute," Kol stated, making his presence in the room known as he walked over to the couch, placing his hands on the back of it. "It's Lorie's first holiday with her daughter. Maybe let her enjoy it."
"Perhaps we figure out how the mummy came back from the dead, and then we can deal with her being a mommy to Lilah."
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
"I just can't get over the fact that he's your dad," Josh said, leaning against their kitchen counter munching away on a bag of chips while Lilah cleaned the table. "This is a bigger surprise than the look on your face when you found out I was gay."
"Let it go, Josh!" Lilah yelled with laughter, sending a playful glare his way.
He shrugged, "I'm just saying. You went from Lilah Desmarais, mysterious, small, and badass to Lilah Mikaelson, deadly, unkillable, and in love within the matter of weeks."
"I am not in love!" Lilah denied, placing her hands on her hips.
Josh rolled his eyes.
"Normally, you and I spend practically every waking moment together, either here or at Rousseau's. Since you've met Roman, we've hired him to work with us, and when you're not with me, you're spending time with Mommy dearest or Mr. Mystery Blond," Josh said, pulling out facts to hit his best friend with. "Lilah, we hired him because you two wanted to spend more time together. You can't tell me that's not you being in love."
"It's been a month and a half! I only want to be around him so much because his presence helps me unlock the weird deja vu feeling I get, like there's things I need to remember,"
"Time doesn't tell what love is and isn't, and the fact that he's the key to you're weird funk might just prove my point even further," shrugged Josh.
Lilah threw the rag she was using to clean up the table at him, accidentally knocking his bag of chips out of his hand. He stood there with his jaw wide open, looking at her like she had killed someone. She shrugged, walking out of the room.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Lilah got to the Mikaelson compound, seeing red white and blue streamers and decorations everywhere.
"Lilah, be a dear and help me with this."
She was surprised when she saw Rebekah putting up decorations, but what really threw her was that Rebekah was speaking to her. Since her revelation about who her dad was, the relationship she had with the blonde was strained. She had been one of her best friends prior, and perhaps that's why it hurt so much. Rebekah hated when secrets were kept from her, especially since when she was rolling with just Klaus and Elijah, she would be kept out of the loop a lot.
Lilah walked over, helping her aunt put up some balloons.
"What is all of this?" Lilah asked.
"Your mother wanted to put on a little party," Rebekah explained, looking at her niece for the first time in forever. "And I'm not the type to turn one down. Especially not when it's in the honor of my family."
Lilah turned her head to the side, confused. It did touch her heart that Rebekah was finally acknowledging her, though.
"She wants everything to be extravagant. She gets to experience her firsts with her daughter, who's grown into a fine young lady," Rebekah said, before sassily adding, "Who obtained her auntie's horrible taste in men."
"I heard that," Marcel said from the balcony, where he was hanging up some more balloons.
"Good!" Rebekah called back. She turned back to her niece, "Thinking of poor taste in men, go invite that hot vampire of yours."
"You mean the one you practically threw in a dungeon?"
"We don't have a dungeon," Rebekah replied. "Though... not turning down the suggestion to make one."
"That was not a suggestion!"
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
       New Orleans during any kind of holiday seemed like a dream. The excitement, the music, the people, and the liquor. Lilah stood on the roof, faint music playing in the background. She had a drink in her head, onlooking the city her father helped build with the help of her uncle, aunt, and Marcel—who no matter what title Lilah gave him, it sounded weird considering he was married to her aunt.
The sun was well set, which only meant that the fireworks would be starting soon. Lilah reflected on her life, how she should've felt like she was on top of the world. But the brunette could've shake the feeling that this was all fake, that she was living a lie. She was unsure why or how, but she had the strangest feeling that this wasn't the life she was meant to live.
Someone stepped onto the balcony, and she glanced over her shoulder to see Roman. He smiled at her, walking over and wrapping an arm around her waist. The two of them hadn't talked about what they were, whether they wanted to be exclusive or anything like that. Lilah kept brushing it off to Josh that they were just having fun. She knew that when fall came around, he'd go back to work, leaving New Orleans and herself behind.
But it was nice. It was nice to feel good to be wrapped in someone else's arms. She couldn't remember the last time she let herself feel something so all consuming. She denied it though, denied that her knees buckled every time the curly haired boy looked in her direction.
She denied that her dead heart fluttered when he kissed her.
She denied that it almost made her want to cry when she thought about how his departure was inevitable.
She denied that it felt wrong almost, to love someone who played even the most minor of roles in the death of Hayley Marshall.
She denied that he made her feel almost the same way Stefan once did.
She was a lot like Elijah in that way. He was big on how true love was hard to find, something he himself believed to have only found three times in his life. For his daughter, however, she could only think of one instance where she had been in love, and with her new predicament, she felt that this might just turn into the second time.
She really was a little miniature version of Elijah, whether or not he raised her.
She heard the small hum of something being shot through the sky, both of them turning their heads to the sky. People started to pour out of the compound or go onto the balcony alongside them, the sound of the party coming outside. Lilah and Roman moved to the corner together, watching as the sky lit up in beautiful colors.
She couldn't help but hold onto his hands that were on her waist or lean back into him with a giggle. She moved her arm so that one of them was around his shoulder, and he placed a kiss on her cheek.
"Happy Fourth of July," he said to her.
"It's been a pretty epic summer," she said back, smiling ear to ear.
Seeing his wide smile and dazed eyes, she knew that denying it would only get her so far.

"Songwriting, stop," Lizzie said dramatically. "I can't take it anymore. Somewhere in Belgium, Penelope Park's black heart just exploded."
Josie gave her twin a look.
"You and Gizmo the Gremlin?" continued Lizzie, not letting up on her disgust about her sister and Landon.
"Actually, Gizmo's a Mogwai," responded Josie.
"Oh, God. He's got you speaking nerd!"
"Relax, we're just friends."
"You are not friends! You're a montage," pointed out Lizzie.
"It's been... fun," explained the brunette. "It's been like, actual fun."
"You know what's actual-actual fun? Mom and I taking the speed train to Rome for the weekend. So get your ass across the pond! Stop worrying about Dad, and stop worrying about whoever Lilah used to be—"
"Love you," Josie said, and Lizzie gasped and Josie practically press the end button of their witchy video-call.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Josie and Landon looked all over the woods and the building out there, but they couldn't find Rafael anywhere. Josie and Landon continued to get closer, slowly falling for one another. Despite Rafael going missing, Landon and Josie talked about what things made them happy-ish.
Outside of the school, Dorian William's almost runs over a girl. She plays off how she knew Dorian, and acts like she's going to be on her way. She goes back into the school, knowing the gate code, feeling happy to finally be the place she called home, a place she had been longing for for who-knows-how-long.
She just wasn't expecting to come back looking for her best friends and her boyfriend, to see that they both moved on without her. That the people she loved would just fill in the gap she left when they can no longer remember her.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
TAGLIST
@akshi8278
it's come to my attention that you guys don't like lorelle... LMAOO. elijah was never the type to have good taste in women (the exception of hayley) i mean... celeste??? katherine??? LOL
also, i've talked about this before since others have commented about it before, but writing a book about lilah in the vampire diaries?? i've been thinking about it a lot lately, and perhaps i love the idea because i can't let go of lilah. i mean, she's my baby. she's the first character/first book where people totally fell in love with my writing, where people have stuck with me. so, on the topic of lilah desmarais/mikaelson having a series in the vampire diaries? yes, i want to write it.
it would be a bit of an 'au' i guess. nothing about that book/series will have anything to do with lilah's storyline here, since this timeline never has lilah go be in mystic falls until the salvatore school. the only thing that would be the same is who her family is, her backstory, her friendship with katherine.
i'm thinking of writing this series as a "spin-off" but that then prompts the question: what about with the mikaelson's leave mystic falls and goes to new orleans? lilah will get to choose between staying in mystic falls or going with her family. i am excited to start this spin off. it'll still technically be "book 4" of the SIDE CHARACTER CHRONICLES, but i may write this book and book 4 at the same time.
the names i want for book one is currently:
IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES
DISCUSSION BOARD!!
· did anyone actually read the book plot i just ranted about?
· time skipped through july and august, and now hope is out! it does take them a while to remember hope, but... what happens when roman goes back to work?

The Pre-Date
Tumblr media
Word Count: 3,679 Genre: Comedy, fluff
A/N: I usually don’t write a lot as I don’t have the time to do much of this. This blog is also just a blog for everything random that pertains to my interests and not a kpop or any kpop group specific blog. I won’t be receiving requests, but feel free to continue reading! This was inspired by a conversation between me and a fellow Atiny/Monbebe friend and with the help of my Dungeon Master boyfriend, who writes stories all the time for his Pathfinder campaigns.
E A R L Y . E V E N I N G
You come back home to your apartment and find that your roommate had gone out to pick up groceries from the note that was left on the kitchen counter. You laid down your belongings gently before jumping onto the wide sleeper sofa squealing and wriggling uncontrollably.
"AHH!" You hug the closest plush next to you. It happens to be your cat, who is not thrilled and meows in a worrisome high tone. "Ohmigosh! I'm so sorry, Koi!" You let her go before grabbing an actual pillow to squeeze it tight. I can't believe it, you thought. He asked me out! My freaking crush asked me out! Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God! You continue to squeeze the poor pillow, rolling around like a dog in grass gleefully. "Ah, shit," you utter under your breath. You noticed the lipstick stain and mascara smeared on the sandy colored sofa.
N I G H T T I M E
As you wash your face hurriedly before bed, you remember how he asked you out in such a cute way. It was almost too unbearable that you could have made a fool of yourself in front of your crush.
// FLASHBACK // "Y/N!"
You whip your head around to see Seonghwa jogging towards you across the large courtyard on university campus. Maintain composure, you thought. "Hey, what's up, Seonghwa?"
He catches up to you, barely out of breath. To be expected by someone on the dance team. "Y/N, I-I I need to ask you something." He looks away. You think you might have seen a very slight pink undertone just then. You watch him fiddle with a silver engraved ring on his finger.
"Y/N, I..." he takes a deep breathe. "I-really-like-you-and-I-really-promise-to-take-care-of-you-will-you-go-out-with-me!"
Stunned, you unravel each word one by one and realizes that he likes you as well. No, wait. He just asked you out! You stood there, frozen, red in the face as Seonghwa eyes you in worry, his pink tones also becoming redder by the minute. Your scarf covers your mouth just enough to not show how much of your jaw just hit the ground. You slowly come back to reality as his eyes lowered, preparing for a rejecti —
"Yes."
His eyes snap back to look into yours. "What?"
"I said, yes, Seonghwa," you say calmly, trying with all the energy in the world to not quiver your voice with excitement.
"REALLY —" He coughs and clears his throat, changing his demeanor from an excited puppy to that of a cool cat. "I mean, really? You will?"
You nod. Eyes glued to his.
"How about tomorrow afternoon?" he proposes. "I'll take you out to a really nice place."
Again, you nod. "Yes. Let's do that."
// FLASHBACK END //
M O R N I N G
Knock knock knock knock knock.
The faint noise causes you to stir from your sleep. You feel around blindly for your phone, eventually finding it under the pillow you were just sleeping on. Your eyes adjust to the room as light leaks in through the sides of your sun blocking curtains. You squint at the phone bleary-eyed, immediately stunned by the loud light of your device. Through a sliver of what you can see, you turn the brightness down and look at your phone again.
- 9:47 AM -
"Ugh," you groaned. "I bet Sabrina forgot her damn keys again..."
Knock knock knock knock knock.
"Okay!" You shouted. "I'm coming! I'm coming!"
You looked for Sabrina's keys but it wasn't anywhere to be found, so to the door you walk, sleepily.
You lazily unlock the door. "Hey, girl, I can't seem to find your k —" You gasped.
Sabrina's usually neat long blonde locks was basically a bird's nest once you saw her, presumably from attempting to pull her hair out in stress. She storms into the apartment, mumbling to herself.
"I can't believe I walked all the way to the salon just to find I didn't even have my Goddamn keys on me," she hissed. "Again." She rummages through the sofa, with Koi running away from the steam coming from her human’s ears. She sighs exasperatingly.
"Was it not in your usual spot?" You ask, rubbing your eyes.
"No, it wasn't! You couldn't find it either?"
"No..."
You help your incredibly stressed out roommate to find the keys in her room, your room, the kitchen, and the living room. Nothing. Then, an unusual idea popped into your mind. You look at Koi. Then to her cat tree. Then back to her. She mewls innocently. You walk over to the tree, eyeing it suspiciously. You reach above, feeling around the top bed. Nothing. The two middle beds. Nothing either. Then at the bottom-most bed, all the way in the back, far beyond sight, you find the coveted silver treasure.
"I found them!" You exclaimed to Sabrina. "I found them in the cat tree!"
"Oh, thank effing goodness!" She sighs loudly in relief. She smooths her hair out while walking over to you. You drop the keys into her outstretched hand.
"Okay, leaving for real this time, Y/N." She walks to and opens the front door.
"Alright, have a good one," you say wearily, walking back towards your bedroom.
"You too. And — oh! Y/N."
You turn around.
"Have fun... with your date." She winks as she closes the door and locks it from the outside.
The date? You wondered. Oh! The DATE!
"I gotta get ready! WHAT TIME IS IT?"
- 10:23 AM -
You sigh in relief. "I have time."
"Mreoooww!" Koi meows at her disgustingly empty food bowl.
"Okay, okay, I'll feed you, Koi."
- 10:35 AM -
Knock knock knock knock knock.
The sound of unexpected knocking, again, nearly made you choke on your toothpaste. Did she forget something else this time, you thought. You walk out of the bathroom, still brushing your teeth. You open the door and —
"Good morning!"
"Good mor —?!" You stopped brushing your teeth and sees a casual yet stylish Seonghwa at the door, carrying some kind of brown paper bag. He beams at you.
You slam the door on him. He can't see me like this! OH, MY GOD, HE CAN'T SEE ME LIKE THIS! You open the door again. HE'S STILL THERE! You slam it. Then open it again. His smile still shining radiantly, with a touch of confusion. Your toothbrush falls out of your mouth. You would let it land on the floor if you didn't remember that it was an expensive electric toothbrush. "Oh, shit!" You try to catch it while it bounces from one hand to the other. When you finally got it, it happens to bounce off your hand once more and hit Seonghwa's chin, leaving a residue. He flinches a bit.
OH, GOD, NO, you internally scream. Not only is this happening right before the real date, but you're obviously not ready. Your bun is a crazy rat's nest, your over-sized off-white shirt with a pink bunny design is awkwardly resting on one side of your hip and the other, loose. Your permanently stained basketball shorts with elastic that has long since worn out reveals your yet to be shaven legs. You quickly eye him up and down before taking cover behind the door. "Damn, you didn't have to be this punctual," you mutter, looking away from him.
"Oh? I figured," he begins, looking down at the bag he is holding, "that you might want some breakfast with me?"
Breakfast? You look down at the bag as he reaches in and pulls out your favorite kind of twisted doughnut. Two of them, in fact.
"Just for you," he says shyly. You salivate at the sight of the treat you rarely get.
"But what about you?" you ask softly, looking back at him through your bangs.
"Don't worry, I've got some myself too!"
You sigh in defeat. "Well, you're already here. I'll just have let you in." You open the door slightly. Just as he was about to walk in, you stop. "But don't look at me!"
He tilts his head to the side like a puppy. Why are you looking at me like that? Stoooop! You hold your composure to keep yourself from melting and clear your throat. "Okay?" you reaffirm sternly.
He nods.
You open the entryway wider for him to enter, albeit a bit hesitantly since you are just now realizing the state of the living room. "Oh, uh," you stammer, looking at the disheveled sofa cushions. "My roommate — she couldn't find her keys so we looked for them." You laugh nervously while closing the door and locking it. You hurried over to the sofa to fix them up before offering a seat to Seonghwa. Respecting your wishes, he looks down at the floor.
"Do you mind if I eat a little of my breakfast while I wait for you to be ready?" he asks. His stomach growls a mighty one. He scratches the back of his head with embarrassment accompanied by a nervous chuckle.
You giggled. "Of course not! Please eat. I, uh -- it, uh, I'll go get ready, but it'll take a while. I-I'm sorry." Your stammering is getting the best of you as you make your way back to the bathroom. But wait.
"My toothbrush!" you gasped.
"Oh, I set it on the dining table for you," he says, pointing to the standing brush.
"Oh, thank you!" You grab it off the table, almost stopping in your tracks to ask how did he manage to catch it, but decided to push that off to the side. You walk back to the bathroom to do your morning routine.
S E O N G H W A . P O V
Sitting down on the sofa Y/N just fixed, he wiggles his silver ring off and sets it on the glass table in front of him to eat his handheld breakfast. He was starving as he got up very early to practice his choreography with his dance team. Wow, her new place looks nice, he thought. He looks at the collection of eclectic cool hues of artwork between yours and Sabrina's that tie the décor together. His wandering eyes became distracted when he felt something pressing up against his leg. He looks down.
"Oh, hi there!" he says sweetly and softly to the calico creature. Koi rubs her head into his shin aggressively. He puts his sandwich down onto the table and bends over to scratch her chin. Her purr fills the room before being drowned out by the rushing water of the shower being turned on. She snaps her head in the direction of the sound. Her eyes grow big and runs off from his hand while making a short trill. He chuckles as he motions to pick up his sandwich again from the table.
- 11:02 AM -
He balls up the wrapping paper and throws it into the empty paper bag. Y/N's twisted doughnuts were set aside on the table. He leans back on the sofa and takes out his phone from his pocket. He flips through his Engstagram feed until he realizes his finger felt odd. He looks away from his phone and thumbs the barren spot of his ring finger. He leans forward to grab the ring off the table when he notices it missing.
"Wh-whuh, what?!" He frantically whispers. He looks around the table, under, and around the sides. His eyes darts around the sofa. Did it get lost here? He feels around for the shiny cold object. He sticks his hands between the sofa cushions and felt some gross crumbs. "Eugh..." He straightens up again with a calm demeanor — just in case Y/N would come out anytime — as his own mind screams at him. How could you lose the ring, you giant idiot! The only thing you had! He scans the living area with one hand on his hip, exasperated. He sighs as he runs his fingers through his full yet luscious raven locks.
Thud.
He snaps his head over to see Koi on sitting on the woolly carpet, green orbs staring back at Seonghwa inquisitively. She slow blinks at him and busies herself by licking her paw. He plops down on the sofa, defeated, with head in his hands. He gives out a loud, long sigh as the sound of a door opening caught his attention.
Y / N . P O V
You come out of the bathroom, hair very loosely curled with light make up on. You roll up the sleeves of your sweater that has been tucked into your partially pleated skirt. You heard Seonghwa's loud sigh and was surprised to see an unusually startled look on his face.
"Eh? What's wrong?" You ask, as you walk over to chair in the dining area to secure your socks. At this point, he has seen you at your worst, so you're just slightly more relaxed in front of him.
"Ah, it's nothing!" says Seonghwa, waving his left hand dismissively with his right hand stuffed in his jacket pocket.
You notice his voice was just a tinge higher than normal. I mean, why would you notice such a thing? It's not like you listen to his voice every night.
Tumblr media
Your mind begins to stir up stories as to why he was acting strange. Did he hurt himself? Did he steal something from you? Was he looking at indecent things on his phone? No, his phone is on the table. But... wait... is he going to propose?! You couldn't bear the thought of any of that and shake your head vigorously. No, you dumdum! Why would he do that after just asking me out yesterday? You shut your eyes tight and open them again only for them to fall on a calm but with an edge Seonghwa. They narrow at the sight of him.
"Did you..." you begin slowly, "eat my twisted doughnuts?" You smirk.
"Oh!" he exclaimed. "No! They're right here!" He picks them up and briskly walks over to hand them to you. Single-handedly. Your eyebrow raises slightly as he doesn't usually like to give gifts away with one hand, but rather with both hands. Something is indeed amiss. You take the treat out of his hand slowly and decide to yourself that you will do some observational investigation. You look up at him, giving him a thankful smile. His eyes lit up when he sees your face up close and unguarded for the first time today. He blushes and smiles to himself as his eyes fell to the floor, out of shyness.
You sit down in the chair you used earlier to balance yourself while adjusting your socks. The familiar crinkling sound of the wax paper from your favorite bakery makes its way to your ears and instantly, you're hit with nostalgia. You bring up the cinnamon sugar delight to your mouth and take a bite, savoring the taste, with eyes closed. It's been years since you were able to have one of these again. You weren't able to go to the bakery anymore since you moved closer to your university and it was on the other side of the river near your parents' house. Unfortunately, the only transportation you have is your bike.
Your memory lane train derailed when you heard a soft chuckle. You open one eye to look at him. Your cheeks were ballooned with food since you didn't realize you practically inhaled the whole thing.
"Hmmf? Ith thumthing hwunny?" you ask, with mock annoyance.
"You look so cute with your cheeks like that," he points, smiling. "You're like a chipmunk!"
You cross your arms and pout while chewing slowly and carefully. He giggles again and pokes your cheek gently.
"Hmph!" You turned slightly away from him, eyes closed with nose in the air. You continue chewing and swallowing little by little. You covertly open your eye closest to him and see him trying to scan around your living area. He's looking for something. But what? You decided to use the process of elimination.
"Seonghwa," you say flatly.
He snaps his head back to you. Smiling, he replies, "Yes?"
"Are you looking to steal from me?"
"What?!"
"You've been acting strange since I've come out all ready and stuff."
He pauses for a moment, seemingly lost in thought before his eyes meet yours. The lengthy eye contact seems to stretch on for an eternity, growing more and more intense as he brings his face closer to yours. You feel the heat rush in your face along with a tinge of embarrassment since your chipmunk cheeks aren't completely gone yet.
"Yes, I've come to steal from you."
"What the f —!"
"I've come to steal your most precious treasure."
You look at him, befuddled.
"Your..." he points at your chest, whispering, "Heart."
You blankly stare at him. The eternal eye contact returns once again in awkward silence, until he threw his head back in laughter. The look of annoyance spreads across your face as you finally chew and swallow the last bit of doughnut left. You facepalm — while avoiding your eye make up — and stretch your eyes downward as you drag your hand in disgust.
"Ugh!" you groaned. "What the hell was that?!"
Seonghwa continues to laugh heartily. You see him clutching his stomach and leaning so far back in his chair, you almost didn't notice him about to tip over backwards. You frantically get up from your seat and scurry over to him, but it was too late. As he falls, his center of gravity was too low for you to have enough leverage, thus you falling along with him. Your arm is stuck between the floor and his back.
"Are you okay?!" You look down at him only to realize how close his face was to yours once again. Actually, even closer. He looks up at you with a soft gaze that could melt your all worries away. The apartment around you fades and all you see is the two of you. He lifts his arm up next to your head and gently tucks your soft locks behind your ear. His gaze lowers to your lips, then back to your eyes again. You're lost in the world that which his eyes held, slowly leaning in closer to —
"OOF!" A creature has landed on your back and pushed herself off to jump onto the table, which causes you to fall sideways onto the cold tile floor. You turn around to see Koi casually sniffing the wrap the uneaten doughnut is in, turning her head to look at you, slow blinks, then walks away, with tail high in the air. You roll onto your back, feeling a little dizzy, but somewhat defeated.
"You alright?" Seonghwa asks softly next to you.
"Y-yeah... I'm okay." You turn your face away from him to hide your red cheeks when you see something glinting in the shadow at the base of the cat tree. You tilt your head against the hard floor. Ow, that was a bad idea. You rub the slightly sore spot with your free hand. You gently tug your arm underneath Seonghwa and feel the weight being lift off your almost numb limb as you pull away. You get up carefully due to your skirt and walk over to the cat tree. You kneel down in front of it and feel inside the bottom-most bed. A slick yet cold texture grazed your skin. You went over the same area to feel it again and curl your fingers around it to pull it out. You open your hand and wondered, how did this get here? Seonghwa looks at your hand holding the ring and gasps. "It was there?! It was in there?! How—why—"
"Koi is like a magpie," you say while inspecting and cleaning the ring, "she likes to steal shiny things, particularly silver looking items."
You get up from the kneeling position you were in and walk over to him. With the ring in between your index finger and thumb, you place into the palm of his outstretched hand.
"Honestly," you chuckled, "I'm surprised you haven't managed to lose this in a year or so."
"It was..."He blushes. "It's because I've liked you for such a long time and this was the first and only gift you had given me."
"Oh!" You feel your cheeks heat up. "Well, I had given you other gifts too since then!" you pout.
He laughs as you walk over to the entry way to put on your chunky sole shoes. "Yes, but this is the only thing that isn't edible."
"Ha, well, you were practicing so hard, you needed to eat 24/7!" You finished tying up the laces on your shoes. You get up and grab your mini backpack off the sofa, along with your keys. "Let's go."
"Wait!"
You halt and turn to look at him. "Did you lose something else too?" you mused.
He slowly walks over to you and holds your shoulders. He scans over you and stops at your eyes, holding your gaze long enough that your cheeks begin to feel hot again. You’ve been blushing a lot today.
"I've always wanted to say," he begins softly. He leans in to your ear. "You look so beautiful."
Your whole being starts to feel like it's melting upon hearing those sincere words. Even after a couple of years of knowing him, hearing it like this from him, it felt like utopia.
"H-h-haaa, um, look, I swear if it's one of your cringy jokes again," you protest to protect yourself from completely dying. "C'mon, let's go!" You lock arms with him and drag him out of the apartment.
B O N U S × K O I . P O V
Sitting on top of the cat tree, she watches Y/N and that strange man leave, locking the door behind them. She hops down to the floor and makes her way into the kitchen. On her way, she finds a silver hair clip left behind on the floor where her human was just laying. She picks it up by the mouth and continues on. She jumps up on the kitchen counter and to the top of the fridge. She lays her newly acquired precious silver on a small mound of other miscellaneous silver objects. She trills in satisfaction.

( A Grian fanfic that Sam went to another school leaving Grian and Taurtis to do their own thing, they went to a new highschool and there is it more normal, yet Grian has a little plan to see if he does feel any empathy for people and their family)
( Ps and old fic that I made that I wanted to share and also me trying to write an sociopath :|  )
( Contains blood mention, death, Sam mentioned )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not crazy, i'm fine was looking in my kitchen. I was searching for... My knife. A special knife~.  I needed to do some... Dirty work today. Maybe that could give me some feeling, feeling of guilt, or happiness, regret, empathy. Real feelings. That, I don't understand. But at the same time, why are these feelings so important? Does it portrait who you are? Does it make your life better? Does it help through out your life? It doesn't matter, I know what i'm doing and nobody can stop me. I'm surprised that I didn't do this earlier. Anyways I just don't need witnesses, right? There it is, it was a dull cheap knife. I don't need to make it fast, if it's fast it makes it boring. If it's slow then you can hear more screams. That would be more enjoyable. Death. I gave a tin smile at my knife, ''kill'' I huffed. ''After school''. ''Just need to ask somebody out then i'll get em, easy!'' I told myself. 
At highschool I was pretty popular, charming and beautiful, I heard rumors about people liking me, having a crush on me. The only use of these people who like me is to make them my 'friend', who does everything for me. Like 'friends'. Ofcourse lot's of people would want to know what I think about people liking me. They'd ask my opinion about that, I just give a bright smile and say 'It's nice to know people like me!' Then walk away with a happy smile. But, I don't care who likes me, I don't care if they lie, because they are worthless in the end. I'm the only important one, nobody else matters. People are easy to read. I grab my bag and put my knife safe under my stuff. I have never really been good at cutting, so I wonder what-, how that is going to happen. What does happen when they die? Yet, I don't care I just give them a fast way out. My bag had everything that I needed, I had my uniform on. I look at my reflection in the mirror. An empty pale person was looking back at me. I had pretty light skin color, but I wouldn't say pale. I'm just a little cold, I rub both of my hands against eachother. Warming up my hands. Then I put my hands on my cheeks, a bit of color came back on my face. There I look better, I gave my brightest smile. A bright smile to start the day. I didn't had food, so I'm just going to flatter Taurtis a bit and eat with him. Easy. I open my front door, I let my door unlocked but I do close it. Taurtis lived on another street but close. I quietly walk and observed good at my surroundings, to find the perfect place, a good place where no people would be nor camera's. A quiet place, maybe I could just make it simple, at my home. I also had some other people I don't mind to hang out with. But I wouldn't want to hurt Taurtis I need him for other dirty works, and he's to only sane one like me to do that. Together. I saw some couples and people walk around some people glanced at me, some said hello. I rang the bell of Taurtis's home, he lived alone like me, no parents and such. Sad that he doesn't really think like I do, I think if I meet Sam ever again, i'll maybe hang out with him more than Taurtis. I realized how much we think alike. I'm not sorry Taurtis I just do what is needed. What's best FOR ME. The door opened, ''O-OH, hey Grian~'', Taurtis smiled sweetly. I smiled at him, ''Hey Taurtis~'' I say in a seductive way, I lean against the jamb of the door, so he can't close the door on me. I saw Taurtis face full of surprised but then soften into a shy face. ''Could you do a favor for me, it would make me really happy!'', I smiled. People are stupid sometimes. They get to invested to other people needs they forget their own. ''O-ofcourse!'' Taurtis stuttered a bit at the begin but so happy. Ha, Idiot.  Me and Taurtis are pretty short but are even tall. ''Alright...'' I grab his hands and go inside, ''..Let's have breakfast together'' Then I close the door. ''O-okay I'll make it!'' Taurtis says excited. I sit on one of his chairs at the dining table. ''How's 'ya day?'' I asked. While Taurtis was busy with making breakfast he talked about what he dreamed and talked about how he feels about other students. ''Hey Grian, do you like somebody?'' He suddenly ask. ''I feel like I like everyone as my friend!'' I say. Taurtis chuckled, ''No dummy I mean like crush!''.  ''Nah'' I say, ''What about you, Taurtis~'' I teased him. ''W-WHA, I don't like a-anyone!'' Taurtis tried his best, to not give it away but that made it easier. ''Alright, I won't ask mister easy see through''. I laughed at him. Taurtis groaned annoyed, ''Look do you still wan't your food?''. ''Okay, okay I'll stop- for now'', Taurtis sighed. I forced a laugh. Taurtis gave me some tea, he knew that I like tea. Taurtis made some Miso soup with tofu. He puts first the plate for me, ''Ohh! That looks so good!'' I compliment him. Taurtis looked happy about that.I got an random person with me we talked for a while. The girl had short brown hair and a cyan highlight that didn't fit her at all. I went to the back ally. Where my dumpsters ''Hey can you help me for a bit!'' I shout. I got my knife ready. ''Okay Grian!'' The female cheered. I hid, she walked outside, ''...Grian?'' The woman said worried while she looked around, I grabbed her from behind, covered her voice. I had my knife next to her neck, ''Don't worry i'll make this slow so you can enjoy your last moments'' I said cold; I let my dull knife slowly slice her neck, she suddenly tried to get out, she duck her nails in my hand, trying to get free. I didn't bother, I can cover it... I dug my knife deeper in her neck, nobody can safe her, I know it. ''I hope you enjoyed our time together'', I whisper, I could hear her screams under my hand... Then it stopped, her screaming stopped, her body relaxed let go of me. emotionless I let go of her... It was pretty satisfying? Now I need to do something with this body. I grab a bag, And tried to make her so little as possible. And she fit, but it wasn't a pleasant pose. But it doesn't matter, she's dead, and nobody would know. I smile smug. I grabbed the bag and put it in my house and went in and grab my cleaning supplies. Need to clean this blood on the ground because, you can't have evidence, right? That's important cause if you wanna do more what people call 'crimes', I wouldn't call it crimes if life let you allow to do that... The blood was cleaned up now the body. I go to the further dumpster, from another house so even if they found it, it wasn't my house. So no proof and at this time nobody was around. It's already dark because it was Autumn. The street lamps where already on. I suddenly get a call while throwing the body, fuck. Why Taurtis, why now. Why did I had the sound on? Now I just give more attention. My clothes where still bloody. Because I don't want my new clothes smell like trash or DEAD body. So I just want to be done with it. I grab my phone and decline. Good that's better, I hope that doesn't happen again I don't want to get more attention while doing something that people call 'Illegal' so. I fast run back home, and closes the door shut. Again, I didn't feel bad for her, maybe because I never talked to her much, maybe I need to do to somebody who is 'close' to me. Maybe then I will feel something for them. I went for an shower. Then put on a onesie that was related to a fox. It was surprising how it still fitted me because when I was still with Sam we had a onesie night. I had a fox, Sam a bunny ofcourse he was overlapping his bunny hat, then Taurtis with a panda onesie that we made fun of him. Then Taurtis did a: No u, on me. And a fast short up what happend: we almost suffocated Taurtis with a pillow. But some nice comfy clothes and tea can make the day more enjoyable. My hair was still wet, because of the shower but it will get dry fast. I didn't need a hair dryer. In the air was still the rotten smell of flesh, that wanted to make me vomit. I need to get some fresh air here inside. I should open a window. Right when I put my tea on the table my phone rang again. I grabbed my phone. I sit on my couch, clicked on the green button. ''Hey, hey!'' I say, I grab my cup of tea of the table. ''Taurtis here!'', ''Yeah?'' ''Is she still here?'' He asked, ''No, she left sometime, needed to go home''.  ''OH, did you enjoy it!'' , he teased me with an romantic voice. ''Hm, she's okay I guess'' ''That's not an answer!'', ''Oh and why did you decline?'' He said, about me not answering the phone. ''I was about to go in the shower'' I said empty sounded than I intended too.  ''You could atleast talk to me before you showered!'', He said irritated.   ''Your calls would last for hours Taurtis'', I chuckle.  ''No it wouldn't! Maybe..'' ''Ehehe, your so funny Taurtis'', The atmosphere around me was cold and empty, like something bad happend around here, and it did. We talked for a while then we had to wrap it up. What is going to happen the next day?
 I woke up, did all the important stuff, but I still didn't buy food, yesterday I just only ate snacks, no dinner. Now i'm really hungry, and I want to eat, so like yesterday, i'm going to flatter Taurtis and then he won't mind making breakfast again. Maybe we can have a sleepover, so he can make food for me. Good idea me! I grabbed my bag, I walked through the streets, I saw somebody hanging posters on the walls, ''Missing: Suko Yaeko, call: 31xxxxxxxx if found.'' There was an picture of the female. Brown short hair, with a blue hairlight and brown eyes. She's missing, sad that they'll never find her, unless they'll look through the trash. Whatever, I have perfect excuses. I just need to burn my knife so nobody can find out that i've killed her. I for a moment looked at the person who hanged up the poster. It looked like a female that is much older than me maybe in her thirties. Hn, i'm keeping my eye on her, if she ruins something then.. I tin smiled at the posters fast, I walk faster.. I walk at the street of Taurtis. I knocked on his door, and waited this time he was what slower.. I sighed deeply, then the door opened that caught me of guard. ''Grian!'' Taurtis say excited, ''Well, here I am, what are your other two wishes?'' I flirt. Taurtis face was getting crimson red, ''W-what!?'' That was the only thing that came out of his mouth. ''Eheh, I just want to make sure my friend is doing okay, since he might be scared a little to walk alone'';.. Could you just let me inside already! GOD. ''Pff, why would I be scared?'', he gave an annoyed sigh, but I could tell he was nervous for the answer. ''Well, that girl from yesterday went missing..'' I said, and walked past Taurtis and went to his kitchen and sat on the chair that I also sat yesterday. ''O-oh, tell me more'', Taurtis said, and raised his eyebrow. He sat down, then his stomach growled, ''Sorry I just wanted to make breakfast..'' he frowned. ''Totally cool, can you make it also for me, sweetheart'', Taurtis eyes wend wide, ''Ofcourse for you!!'', he went straight to the kitchen, and started to look around, ''Would you tell more?''. Taurtis said. ''Okay, i just saw posters about her missing'', I heard Taurtis making a okay noise so I continued. ''I think she went missing yesterday, since when somebody is missing on that day, the next day they'll report it to the people and start their search.''. ''Ohh, what do you think what happend to her since you where probably the last one who saw her, wait Grian..'' He turned around to me, ''What?'' I say confused and frowned. ''Are you sure you weren't apart of it!'', I shook my head, Taurtis shouldn't know, even if Taurtis was apart with murders and such, he shouldn't know. I can't trust him because he can turn his back at me in any moment unless I blackmail him. Not yet Grian, not yet.  ''No, not this time, she wanted to walk alone to home'', I say confident. Taurtis expression change from suspicion to relaxed, and smiled, ''Good'' and went back to his food. He's to easy to lie to, I don't need to even try. He didn't change at all.I sat in class until somebody open the door of the class and asked for me, so I walked with the person, I saw some people gave me smiles, or worried stares. But I wasn't worried, I can easy do anything that they want me to do. I sat across some police officers, and they asked me questions about the girl what I did yesterday with her and if I noticed anything weird with her and about our relation and such.      Most was easy answer, and I didn't even feel bad for her family. After that I went straight back to class, then when class was over. Taurtis went straight to me. '' What did they say??'' Then some other people also went to me. Sometimes being popular is annoying, everyone know's your name and if something happens to you everyone will know but everyone loves you and listens, and do what you want. But if your bit more in the background, most people wont know your name, either hate's you or just don't need you, you'll be known as the quiet kid and a easy target... But I guess it doesn't matter since i'm now here with my goals. I wonder when Taurtis notice that I don't really like him and use him for things, like Sam always did. Yet he doesn't know it. Sam 'loves' Taurtis, no he doesn't he only love him cause he can feel complete with him that's it.
That's it.

Ladybug Week: Day 3 - Love Letters/Secret Admirers
Canonverse, 1.4k words
“Whatcha working on there? Homework?”
The second she heard her sister’s cheery voice, Ruby haphazardly threw her books over the piece of paper she was currently hunched over.
“Oh nothing, nothing. I was just uhhhhh, drawing something.”
She risked a quick peek at Yang, who was now standing just beside her. The blonde’s brow was already quirked up in suspicion accompanied by a mischievous, knowing smirk across her face.
“Uh huh, sure. Whatever you say.”
Ruby rolled her eyes. “Yang can you just buzz off for once!?”
“Relaaaaax I’m not gonna go pry. Although, I figured you should know, Blake and Weiss went into the city. Something about Weiss needing help picking testing supplies or something. They shouldn’t be back til later this evening.”
Yang grabbed the yellow gym bag sitting at her foot and hoisted the strap over her shoulder.
“I’m gonna go hit up the training room for a bit. You’re free to come if you wanna take a break from that love letter you got there.”
Ruby responded by failing her arms against her sister in a futile attempt to get her out of the dormitory quicker.
“Yaaaaang stop! I told you it’s nothing like that!!”
“Ok ok I believe you,” she laughed as she made her way to the door. “I’ll be back in a few hours.”
“By the way,” Yang popped her head back in the dorm room once the rest of her body was already outside, “Blake’s other favorite color is teal if you really wanna impress her.”
Ruby threw the nearest item towards the door (a squeaky ball meant for Zwei). Yang however expected such a reaction, and the door was shut behind her before the ball landed on its target.
Ruby pouted to herself as the silence of the empty room filled the air. She knew Yang meant well, but it didn’t make the situation any less embarrassing. She didn’t feel like discussing her crush issues with her, especially when said crush was Yang’s own partner.
“Is it that obvious I like her?” she grumbled to herself as she continued her writing.
It’s not like she chose to have a crush on Blake, but everything the older girl did seemed to entrance her. The way she weaved in and out of battled with her semblance, her dual wielding fighting style, the cute little twitches her bow made when she got to an exciting part of her novel, or the way she unconsciously hummed to herself when sorting through her personal book collection.
Everything about her was just so Blake.
As Ruby enthralled herself in her daydream, she failed to register the sound of the door being unlocked.
“Hey Ruby, I didn’t expect you to be here.”
Ruby’s silver eyes practically bulged out of her skull at the sound of Blake’s voice.
“Oh hey Blake!” she managed to splutter out. “I didn’t think you’d be back so soon. Weren’t you with Weiss?”
“I was, but she decided to come back early to squeeze in some last minuet training. I think she’s supposed to spar against Pyrrha tomorrow or something. I didn’t really feel like going so I came back here.”
Ruby slowly moved her arms over her work, propping her head up with one of her hands.
“Interesting, glad you’re back!” she tried to grin as inconspicuously as possible. Unfortunately for Ruby, she wasn’t nearly as good at being subtle as she was with slaying grimm.”
Blake’s ever perceptive amber eyes flitted to the paper caught between the table and her team leader’s arm.
“Oh, are you working on an assignment? I can head to the library if you need some peace and quiet.”
“No no no stay!” Ruby’s arms waved in front of her emphasizing her plea. “You don’t make a lot of noise anyway. Not that that’s a bad thing cause it’s a good thing! I love that about you. Not that I actually love love you I just like you a lot. Or the way you act I mean...”
The heat consuming Ruby’s cheeks let her know that her face was probably a similar color to the cloak she was wearing.
“That came out kinda badly.”
Blake also felt her face flush at her leader’s words; she had always found Ruby to be awkwardly adorable. She couldn’t ignore the warm pleasant feeling that welled in her chest at the sight of an extremely flustered Ruby reduced to such by her presence alone. The bow concealing her feline ears did little to hide how piqued they had become.
“It’s ok. I like you too Ruby. A lot.”
Ruby stared at Blake in wonder as the meaning of her words hit her in waves. Blake was ok with her liking her. Blake also said that she liked her too. Was this real life? Or did she fall asleep at her desk while trying to write this stupid love note?
Armed with this knowledge, Ruby found herself feeling much braver than she would have otherwise.
“I’m not working on a homework assignment,” she admitted. Her gaze fell to her lap where her legs began to restlessly swing in her seat.
“Oh ok. Is it something I can help you with?”
“Uhhhhhh, maybe?” she started nervously. “There’s this…really cool girl I’m trying to write a letter to. But it’s not exactly going as I planned. How come when other people try to be all smooth and romantic it works, but when I try it’s a complete failure?”
Blake shifted in place. Now she was the one starting to feel awkward.
“W-well, go with honesty if all else fails. If this person is as cool and lovely as you say then you should tell them just that.”
Ruby continued to stare at her legs, brave enough to continue talking but too embarrassed to meet her crush’s gaze.
“What would you write if you had a crush?”
A silence filled the room. This one lasting a touch too long for comfort.
“Never mind. That was a stupid question,” she said quietly.
Ruby heard the quick patter of hasty footsteps as she looked up to see Blake on the other side of the room. She watched the faunus girl in bewilderment as she rummaged through one of her drawers, eventually pulling out a small, leather-bound book.
She walked back to Ruby as she thumbed through the pages, her amber eyes scanning each one in search of something.
“Blake, what are you looking for?” Ruby asked clearly puzzled.
Finally, Blake pulled out a small piece of folded paper from the pages of her book. After placing the book in her pocket, she began unfolding the paper, her eyes anxiously glancing at the seated girl before her.
“It wasn’t a stupid question,” Blake assured her. Ruby noticed how the bow on Blake’s head had flattened slightly from before.
The next words out of her mouth stunned her into complete awe.
“Dear Ruby, despite the heaps of romance novels I’ve enjoyed in my life, I was never very good with committing my feelings to paper. I wish I could be one of those poets who could give you a stunning love poem filled with breathtaking metaphors and similes about how you make me feel. But, honestly, I’m not very good at that. What I can say however is that you are a wonderful teammate, leader and friend. I have never met anyone so pure and willing to do the right thing for no other reason besides that it was right. I never imagined my time at Beacon Academy being this enjoyable, and I’ve realized a large part of that is because of you. I know you probably aren’t interested in someone like me, but I want to let you know that my feelings for you are real whether or not you decide to return them. Regardless, I hope we can continue to be friends long after we’ve graduated, because you are one of the kindest, purest, most lovely people I’ve ever met in my life. Love, Blake.”
She lowered the paper as she looked at Ruby, anxious to see her reaction. Blake again found herself shifting in place as her crush continued to stare, her mouth slightly agate.
Not sure what to do with herself, Blake gave an awkward half shrug.
“That’s all I wrote.”
Wordlessly, Ruby flew from her seat to Blake in order to wrap her arms around her. She squeezed her tightly as she nuzzled her face against the crook of her neck.
“That’s a lot further than I got,” Ruby disclosed softly.
Blake couldn’t help but tense up at the sudden contact. Feeling the love and warmth emitted from the body pressed against hers finally coaxing her to return Ruby’s embrace.
“Also, I like you too Blake. A lot.” Ruby quipped with a small giggle.

the four times one of the twins dyed their hair
Note: As you know. I died over this idea today on your live and on your blog, and I just needed to bring it to life you know? I’m just surprised I finished it this quickly tbh. Enjoy! @i-write-shakespeare-not-disney
1
Charlie was tired of going to school. He was tired of going out in public. He was just very tired in general.
He couldn’t go one day, without being looked at oddly. Like sure he gets it, he has alien ears. But that’s not even the major concern. 
People liked to comment on his silver hair.
Like a lot.
His father’s always loved his hair. And at one point he did too. He never thought it was weird or odd, especially when he saw Aunt Lura’ with her long silver hair every once in a while, it had made him feel better.
But everywhere he went he was looked at. He’d catch people staring and whispering about the color of his hair. And at school he’d get bullied for looking like an “old man” and Charlie was honestly sick of it.
At school, he was pretty angry all the time from getting made fun of and it was hard to enjoy being at school. So when Violet was the one that picked him and his brother up from school that day he knew what to do.
“Hey mi hermanitos, how was school?” Violet asked from the rearview mirror as he and Oliver got seated in the back and buckled their seatbelts on.
“Hey, Vi! School was fine, how come Papá didn’t come and pick us up?” Oliver asked as he held onto her seat from behind and his purple ears flickered. 
“Papi said he had to go somewhere with Tia Vero so he wasn’t able to make it today. He and Dad won’t be home til late.” She turned back and narrowed her eyes at Charlie who had remained quiet. “What about you, how was school, Charlie?”
Charlie didn’t answer her question. Instead, he said, “Can we dye my hair?”
Violet and Oliver’s ears flickered at the question and Oliver put his hand on his shoulder. “Dude, you can’t listen to what everyone is always saying about it.”
Violet straightened up and her purple eyes looked at him worriedly but also he saw a hint of anger. Oh no, big protective sister mode was coming through. “Are kids still making fun of you for your hair? Charlie I’ll go talk to the principal if-”
“Don’t talk to the principal Violet!” he snapped. She faltered back and he sighed and gave his sister an apologetic look. “I’m just- I’m tired of having attention drawn to me because of my hair. It’s just annoying. So can we go dye it or not?”
Violet bit her lip and shifted the gear to drive. “I mean, I guess we can go and buy some hair dye and do it at home.”
Oliver looked at Charlie, then at Veronica through the rearview mirror. “Do you think Dad or Papá will say anything about it?”
“Guess we’ll find out,” Violet mumbled as she made a right turn.
---
“Charlie I cannot believe you chose these colors,” Oliver muttered as he set the multiple jars of hair dyes down on the bathroom countertop.
“Why not? People always have colorful hair,” he said as he finished clipping an old towel around his neck. 
“But don’t you think more attention will be drawn towards you if you have a whole rainbow on top of your head?” he said, trying to see the logic in his brother’s idea.
“Don’t worry Ollie,” Violet said as she started mixing the products together. “I got the temporary ones that wash out in case Charlie doesn’t end up liking it.”
Oliver sighed and sat down on the toilet seat as Violet finished mixing and Charlie searched for a Youtube demonstration video that his sister could follow so that she doesn’t ultimately screw up his hair.
“Found it,” he said as he set it in front of the toothbrush container so that it was propped up for Violet to see. 
Violet set the mixing bowl down and started to separate Charlie’s hair into sections like the video had instructed and then she began applying the dye. Charlie thought it felt cool on his head and that he looked a bit crazy with it being all plastered with colors. It was sorta like a unicorn had thrown up all over his head. Oliver was trying to stifle laughs but Charlie punched his leg for it.
Once they waited the proper amount of time for the dye to kick in they washed it out in the bathtub. Which was very uncomfortable the way Violet made him hover his head over the tub. And damn she scrubbed his head real hard. 
But once it was done they dried his hair with a blow dryer and Oliver covered his mouth and his blue eyes widened. 
“Oh my god. Dad and Papá are going to flip.”
Violet smiled and ruffled his hair. “I don’t know. I think it looks kinda nice.” She looked down at Charlie and squeezed his shoulders. “What do you think Lil bro?”
Charlie ran his fingers through his hair from side to side trying to get used to the new colors it had taken. After a few awkward minutes of no response, he smiles and nods. “You did great sis.”
They decided to play video games until their parents came home. But after a couple of minutes into their 3rd round of Mario Kart, they heard the door unlock and in came their father’s.
“Hey, kids. Sorry, I left you home for so long. Your dad and I found each other on the driveway.” Papá had said as he set his keys down and looked for a drink in the fridge.
“Have you guys eaten anything?” Dad asked as she took his shoes off.
“We ate some McDonalds before we got home and then some junk food,” Oliver answered as he paused the game.
“Oh my god, Charlie.” Papá gasped.
Dad looked at Papá with confusion until his eyes landed on Charlie. His eyes grew wide and his mouth formed into an ‘o’ shape.
“Charlie. W-What?” his Dad spit out until he made it closer to him and tilted his chin to each side trying to get a better look. He stared at Charlie for a moment, trying to gather his thoughts together until he said, “Are you trying to tell us something or…” he looked back at papá who was trying to control his fits of laughter, which didn’t help dad’s swarming thoughts until he looked back at Charlie. “Could you just not decide on a color?”
Oliver howled out in laughter just like his Papá and Violet smiled at her parent's reactions.
2
Oliver knocked onto Violet’s bedroom door waiting for a response.
“Who is it?” she called.
Oliver rolled his eyes but opened the door anyway and saw his sister on the bed reading a book.
“Oh hey Ollie, what’s up?” she asked as he sat down on the bed and twirled his thumbs together.
“Hey Vi, do you think I could uhm..” he looked up at his sister who had an eyebrow arched up that looked exactly like Papa’s whenever he asked him a question. “Could we get my hair done like Charlie’s?” he asked quietly.
Violet frowned and set her book down. “Get your hair done like Charlie’s? Like the color?” Oliver nodded. “I mean yeah, but why?”
Oliver scratched the back of his neck nervously and shrugged. “I just don’t like seeing him down all the time because of the looks people give him in public. Or the things people say at school. So I was thinking maybe if I got my hair done like his it could make him feel maybe, less alone?”
A smile spread on Violet’s face before she ruffled his hair. “Aw, you love your brother don’t you?” she teased.
He pushed his sister back and scowled at her before managing a smile. “I mean yeah. He’s my brother but- Whatever. Are you going to help me or not?”
“Well, where are Charlie and our parents right now?” 
“At soccer practice.” She gave him a pointed look. “I didn’t go because I said I didn’t feel good.”
Violet hummed and grabbed her keys. “Well little bro, we got a store to hit.”
---
Oliver hated the hair bleaching process. His hair was black so it took a long time before his hair started growing into a light color and even then he still had another step to do.
Violet had said it was a toner or whatever that made his hair silver but he just shrugged and let her do her thing as he played on his phone until he had to wash everything out.
When his hair was all dry he was shocked at how identical he looked to Charlie.
“Wow, you really do look like him. How am I supposed to tell you two apart now?” Violet asked through a laugh.
Oliver’s blue eyes lit up and he looked at his sister through the mirror. “Oh! We can so screw around with Dad and Papi!” He shook his hair around and smirked. “This has more perks to it than I thought it would,” he mused.
When everyone came home, Dad and Papa just about had a heart attack. Charlie looked confused but also happy? 
After he explained to his father’s why he bleached his hair they calmed down and gave him a hug. They were proud of him for standing by his brother.
Charlie pulled him aside later that night and smirked at his brother as he put his cleats away.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Oliver asked as he gave him a questioning look.
“What you did was very sweet Ollie,” Charlie said as he looked at him again. But then he bit his lip and tried to suppress a smile. “But you forgot the eyebrows.”
Oh shit.
3
On a car ride with Violet and Oliver after school, Charlie made a comment.
“I should dye my hair black,” he said.
Oliver just about spit the drink he had in his mouth out and Violet stopped the car for a moment before she realized she was still on the road and kept driving.
“What do you mean you want to dye your hair black?” Oliver shrieked.
Charlie pulled on a strand of his hair and shrugged. “I don’t know. Maybe we can mess around with our parents?”
Oliver’s eyes sparkled. “Ohh yeah!” he jumped and tapped Violet on the shoulder. “Can we go get some hair dye, Violet? Please?” Oliver tried to do the best puppy eyes he could.
Violet laughed and shook her head.  “You don’t need to use your puppy eyes on me, Ollie. Of course, we can go get some hair dye. This will be fun.”
---
After the hair dying process was complete. Oliver and Charlie had worked on putting on some clothes that the other usually wore in order to throw their parents off.
They were sitting down eating cereal when both of them walked in from a date and both of their mouths dropped.
Papá was the first to recover and he got into their personal space and intently looked at them both. “What the hell is going on here? Is it April fools?” he looked back at dad who was still looking at his boys in surprise. “It isn’t April 1st is it?”
Dad shook his head and propped his elbows on top of the counter and ran a hand over his face.
“Who did this?” he asked out loud.
“Me!” Violet said from across the living room.
“And who’s idea was this?” Dad asked as a follow-up.
“Charlie’s!” Violet responded.
Papá looked at them both incredulously and started to laugh laugh a bit nervously. “I’m so sorry to ask this but, which one is Charlie?”
The kids erupted into laughter and couldn’t even get a word out until Dad looked at them seriously and they began to calm down.
Charlie raised his hand with a grin still on his face.
Dad pinched the bridge of his nose while Papá set a hand on his back.
“This whole time,” Dad muttered.
“We’ve only been ever to tell our identical twin sons apart because of their hair and now they look the same and we don’t know who is who?” Papá said all in one breath. Dad nodded. “Yeah, I feel like we have failed as parents,” Papá sighed and shook his head in disbelief.
+4 (bonus)
Oliver really didn’t want to go through the struggle of bleaching his entire hair silver in order to help his brother’s confidence at school. But he did come up with another solution.
To do a white streak of hair with the help of Violet.
Charlie had laughed at him when he saw it and had thought his brother had looked stupid.
But when Papá and Dad walked through the door, they had strongly tried to consider his son’s life choices.
“Oliver, what were you thinking when you did this?” Papá asked him as calmy as he could.
He looked back at Charlie who was trying to hide his laugh and then back at his parents. Dad was looking at him like he was crazy and Papá looked like he was on the verge of a meltdown.
“I thought maybe I could look like Uncle Shiro?” he tried.
They both sighed and Dad placed a hand on his shoulder.
“Oh honey. Not even your Uncle Shiro wanted to look like a skunk.”
Right then and there Oliver had felt so attacked that he begged for Violet to dye it back to black again as soon as possible.

very rough concepts for apophistuck
so today ive been questioning over what planets there would be for the whole story n stuff. bc its not just hanging around but a buncha other stuff. so. yea. each so far has like 2 level varieties- the “architecture” levels w/built stuff n the “natural” ones which are just like the ecosystem around it. but there will be more.
(i accidentally turned this into somewhat of a narrative as i kept writing, sorryy)
Gaia
The “Earth” setting of the story. It has a very biology-based, natural setting. There are cave levels, eventually the player is brought to other ones where they fight prokaryotic beasts as they evolve in little-oxygen, volcanic Proto-Earth. Godzilla is available in this setting as the level progresses into the city. There they meet an enormous human congregation, panicked, in one of the final levels, where monsters flood the scenery. In the end of the world they are chased by a beast that resembles some sort of...Miasmad Jr.
Stygius
Stygius is a planet- well, not really a planet, but sort of like an underworld setting of Gaia, full of mountains and ghostly opponents. Hokmuto is unlocked upon completing the first level. Lots of large spiderlike beasts trot around shack-like structures and many slightly bigger that Miasmad Jr in Gaia. In some levels, there are no opponents though the focus is more on some sort of visual storytelling, talking about the story of many game aspects, one of the visions being of Solomon and Red fighting, as well as some sort of funeral pyre being offered to a giant monster as some sort of sacrifice. Some revelations are made about certain characters and the boss is like a giant aquatic beast dwelling inside a lake, resembling a fish-squid mix. As it dies, its body dissolves in the water into a mass of garbled graphics that resemble somewhat intelligible game glyphs.
Audacium
The entire world has a rather industrial look and organic robotics aesthetic. where horned grey abstractions of monsters climb on top of walls and attempt to attack the player, who is made incredibly small and whose attacks deal much lesser damage than usual for the first half of the planet’s levels, which are some of the hardest of the game. Upon completing them, the opposite happens and the player’s usual size doubles, as well as its attack power and health- but so do the enemies (...so the game doesn’t really change that much from normal). The colors of the assorted forms of the enemies seem to be sequential, with groups of enemies ranging from red, to orange, all the way until purple and a slightly-pinker purple, where the level layout starts to resemble more of a river platform thing more than anything. The boss resembles a large pink human/fish/salamander thing with a large rainbow-y trident for a weapon. It towered over the player and often opens its mouth to reveal a large robotic cannon that shoots lasers at the player. Upon defeat, the monster drops a small, black pixelated mass that can be picked up.
Secular
A planet that has plain-looking natural features that are like the surface of a moon, with opponents that look like half-alien lich beasts. It also contains levels that take place in what seem like space colony formations with mostly inorganic enemies, like traps that can be found around, like rockets and explosives. Every once in a while scientist-like figures with elk heads can be seen using giant syringes to take life from the player, with every wave of them being completed by a giant monster that resembles an upside-down rotting elk head which “walks” with its antlers and spits out swarms of blowflies.  The final boss resembles a strange, lanky white form (somewhat like Not-Gezora) with a large featureless head, and at death it has an animation of it melting down into diminutive, spider-like animals.
Baroque
A world that is marked by nearly full darkness. What makes the natural levels even remotely visible are the impaled poles in the background, which contain horned, humanoid skulls with bright yellow lights radiating from its jaw gaps and eye sockets, like a jack-o-lantern. Enemies often resemble wormlike beasts that stay underground until they sense they player, which is when they attack. Multiple-headed bats are also other enemies seen in the natural levels, with a miniboss being eventually fought that resembles a beastly cleric. The final blows aren’t the ones that defeat it, but rather a giant sword that swings and decapitates it.
 The other variety of levels involve colorful and unusually cheery church-like structures depicting stained glass art of morbid events, strangely enough.  The level includes enemies such as greyish flying cherubim/seraphim and quadrupedal caprine monsters wearing what look like nun robes. The boss of that level is a large dark grey monster with messy white and black face markings and long, distorted purple horns with multi colored splotches. At death, a cutscene plays, and text that says “ORDER HAS BEEN VIOLATED BY YOUR GALL. THE MARK IN YOUR DISOBEDIENT FLESH SHOWS A PREMONITION OF YOUR DOOM.” Upon viewing this, Kaiju!Janavo becomes available as a player character.
Hiraeth
A stage where everything feels old, nostalgic, like eons ago- or was it something perhaps closer, more recent? The levels seem to resemble a castle with eagles and lizards decorating it. Worn, yellow papers with interrogation marks on them mark the walls, with enemies looking like ghostly formations made from cobwebs and tattered bags of straw, and haunted knight armor filled with what looks like a slime monster. In the end of each level there would be a chest that revealed to be a crablike mimic. After defeating it, the player receives some HP. Another level features what resembles a swamp with towering mangrove trees. The enemies resemble skeletal sea snakes and dryad-esque opossums, as well as six-winged parrots. At the end of the level, the player finds a hooded figure kneeling in the shallow water. When they notice its presence, the hood is lifted and a nearly unrecognizable face is visible, covered in wounds and a sorrowful look in its features. The screen turns black as to display text, that says “GONE FOR SO LONG. THE LOST SPAWN OF ATLAS. REUNITE.”. Upon that, the figure starts to weep, and tears begin to drop from its sprite. As it cries, the water level rises and it incentives the player to continue walking, as to end the world.
Dysphoria
A level that has its entire atmosphere drawn to a colorless and sharp aesthetic. Unlike the other levels, that contain a horizontal line as its route for the player to walk towards. one of Dysphoria’s level types involves having them climb a diagonal, upwards-facing mountain. For flying characters, the rise is relatively faster although they are vulnerable to airborne attacks like a pendulum-like mace that appears from the top of the screen and swings for a couple of seconds.
 Enemies come crawling downwards the mountain and tend to resemble frozen, incredibly thin and bony wolves, which tend to every once in a while self-sacrifice by detonating themselves and sending bone shrapnel to deal gradual damage to the player.  Other enemies involve vultures which open their mouths to throw spinning daggers. Upon reaching the summit, the mountain begins to break apart as something like an earthquake strikes the soil, pushing the player into platforms. There they meet one of the bosses- a beast that resembles a large dragon covered in quills, whose attacks are based off spitting a black fluid that immobilizes the player for melee offense, and also beam attacks that resemble fiery raindrops. No cutscene follows the defeat. 
Another level features a scenario that resembles a courtroom, with multiple uniform, faceless entities as the jury, two horned creatures that seem covered in drapes as the parties and a judge that looked more like a strange sharklike beast. After the “trial” ends by the shark slamming a femur on the table as a gavel, the entire setting is attacked by batlike creatures with human skulls, one of the draped parties being mauled by the monsters, and a dark pink puddle of blood pooling under its dying body. One of the skullbats proceeds to impale its body with a trident coming from its mouth as a final blow. The screen, again turns to black and text saying “A MEMORY REVIVED, TO NEVER BRING JOY AGAIN”. 
Lugubre
The final level. It’s almost completely natural in terms of level scenery, resembling some sort of haunted, bone-filled forest with frozen puddles of water on the ground. The enemies resemble mostly half-reptile, half-mammalian beasts with snarling teeth and drops that caused the game interface to become nearly invisible from darkness for around 30 seconds, only the player sprite being outlined white. As the level progresses, humanoid skulls with spider legs appear and use green lasers as ranged attacks. Another level features cobra-like beasts with centipede legs inside a flooded cave, which has a viperfish-mudskipper hybrid covered with spines and open wounds. When defeated, it soaks the ground in a dark red fluid, which starts to consume the level’s walls while phasing through all of the spectrum until it reaches pink, when the entire screen has become covered. Eventually black fish skeletons begin to pile up at the bottom of the level, slowly rising, and eventually the player is stuck in a mound of bones, without having an end-level route. After they get consumed by bones, the level ends.
 When they move to the final level, the scenario resembles a rocky wasteland covered in inorganic parts and surrounded by glowing cyan lakes. There are barely any hostile enemies though NPCs can be viewed interacting with each other, like fishes getting snatched up by crows and carrion being consumed by bears. Eventually, the layout begins to become more aquatic, and it’s the stage where hostile characters begin to appear, which resemble intermediate stages of cetacean evolution and amphibians. They tend to attack the player with pink “acid fluid”. The level, after it becomes simply a far-away platform-jumping scene with water in between, starts to include fish. Passive, pink fish are seen jumping out in schools, only to splash back underwater again. Suddenly, a lightning bolt is seen zapping the fish mid-air and causes them to float around, with a lonely one falling back into the water. 
The player finally is left to swim only, having to fight large mollusk monsters that have the average health of a miniboss. A particular one, which seems to resemble a large, plate-covered squid with lobster pincers, manages to drain away a large portion of the player character’s health, and when they find themselves trapped, the dropped fish returns as a large whale, striking itself against them and having them attach themselves to its sprite, as if somehow riding it. The two float around the air for around 8 seconds, which then is followed by the whale splashing back into the water and spraying water onto the player from its blowhole, restoring the health of all its characters. However, when it returns underwater, it dissolves into sea foam- leaving the player alone yet again. 
The sprite of Warlock appears, half-turned into a shark. A black screen with text says “FROM THE WALLS YOU’VE SMASHED. THIS IS THE ONE THAT WILL BREAK YOUR NAILS”. The duel between Warlock and the player is tricky, as he moves extremely fast and is able to sacrifice local NPCS for health, as well as draining it from the player. His attacks are somewhat like a combo, managing to inflict lots of damage multiple times in a short timespan. Ranged attacks involves him glowing bright green and making a radius of boiling water around his body that deals damage. Easily he could bring half of the player’s monsters to less than 5 life bars during the fight. 
And when he is finally defeated- he does not swim away or dissolve, but instead has his mouth open and from within, is revealed a much larger and intimidating marine beast, skin covered in deep wounds, blotches of pink and blue littering its hide, with two jaws, four sharp claws, and a sharp extendable fin. A black screen with text says “I’VE MANAGED TO TEAR DOWN AT YOU QUITE WELL, JANAVO. I CAN SENSE YOUR WEAKENING MUSCLES, YOUR MIND SHUTTING DOWN. NOW SOON I WILL DISPLAY YOUR CARCASS TO MY REIGN, YOUR BLOOD WILL MIX WITH MAERAH’S FOR OUR ULTIMATE FEAST!”
The player is locked to only utilize Janavo as a character, whose attacks seem to deal not a lot of damage to the scarred beast, and his move which involves lowering his damage from an attack by using his hood is rendered useless. Its attacks involve spraying dark purple ink at the player, temporarily disabling their attacks, and slashing at them with its claws. This combination of moves makes for a challenging and nearly impossible battle, together with taunting comments and imagery. The beast, once Janavo is at one life bar, makes one last comment, saying “HOW WEAK AND LAUGHABLE OF YOU TO SUCCUMB LIKE THIS. JUST LIKE YOU WERE MANY YEARS AGO, FRAIL AND SENSITIVE. HOW ABOUT YOU FINALLY RETURN TO SUCH A FORM AGAIN, AND LET’S END YOUR PATHETIC, PETTY EXISTENCE!”
And so it proceeds to charge a bright red beam and shoot it at his sprite, which was twitching, becoming thinner and smaller, until Janavo resembled nothing but a dry, shriveled husk worm contorted into a curled up shape, surrounded by a blue “mist”. A laugh comes from the killer monster, which proceeds to grow large tentacles from its scars which start to consume the screen, but when it least notices, they are all pulled back and torn from its body in a gory fashion. Then it is shown that the whale had ripped them off itself and was consuming them. It faces the screen and everything fades to black as it dialogues with the player. 
“Dear. The blood of Atlas still flows through me. This is not the true fate of you. Remember the dueling behemoths that once managed to climb their way out. The two, who now offer their own lives to reverse this nightmare.”
The screen returns to the death of Janavo and the husk is devoured by the whale. On his place, appears a strange, purple tauric creature which was labeled “Mialomon”. The scarred beast went at full speed to successfully devour and kill him, but 10 health bars were taken away as its body seemingly goes limp as if broken inside. Mialomon’s attacks are a heat beam and using his tail as a whip, which both seem to deal a moderate amount of damage yet he shows to have an extremely high level of defense, with every blow received draining around only a quarter of his life bar. With every hit he gives, the beast seems to be torn to shreds, with its scars becoming screaming mouths, and its movements becoming more frantic. When nothing but its heads, spine and ribs remain, Miamolon inserts its front legs on the top jaw and pushes them apart, splitting both heads in half, ending its existence and clouding itself in dark violet blood. 
The whale appears again, and says “The pain has been vanquished, at last. Salvation has been reached. Now it can all sprout back again, fill itself with life and joy”. It opens its mouth, and from it, comes the revived sprite of Janavo, large and majestic again. The other characters are again accessible and soon the whale turns into some sort of mermaid. “I’ve missed you so much. The spawn of Atlas truly did save and reunite with its ophidian cavalier. I will never allow anyone to separate us again“. A pink sigil appears, and the game returns to the Godzilla: MoM home screen.
BONUS: Password Screen and More
The glyphs that can be seen at the death of Stygius’ boss can be used as an input. It will make so that the next time you (re)play the final level of Gaia featuring the human cluster, you will receive a cutscene that features Aloisio and his relations to both Earth and Stygius, and upon that, you will gain him as a playable character. Smaller in defense and size, he compensates it with high attack speed and strength.
By replaying the courtroom Dysphoria level, without setting in any code, by leaving the scene before watching the murder of the draped entity, the screen also turns to black. But the text instead says “A familiar yet so fresh scene you had to witness. Much like the manuscripts mention. Pain so sharp and tearful, like a talon slash to the eye. Not evaporating, not even when you try to close them. May warmth be in your heart, might by your side, and you will never shed blood tears again.” After that display, the player has a new playable character in the board- Sebastian.
By typing in “ENDOGENAS” as an input after finishing Lugubre, by replaying the game, Janavo’s sprite is shown to wear the carcass of the scarred beast as a lavish cloak.

Bakugo’s change in attitude didn’t go unnoticed for you. Lately, he hasn’t been himself and even though to everyone else, he seemed like his normal, aggressive self, you were able to notice the slight change in personality. It made you worried, of course. Ever since he was captured by the villains and the retirement of All Might happened, he’s been distant towards you. If anything, he’s been dedicating most of his time to his training and working out. If you wanted to hang out with him, he’ll make an excuse and say he was busy. If you wanted to talk, he’ll already be in the training room and you’ll feel too bad to interrupt him for something so simple as talking.
Still, you wanted to talk to Bakugo, especially about his behavior. So, you figured you visit his room while everyone was asleep. You knew it wasn’t allowed to move about in the dorms due to curfew, let alone visiting a boy’s room late at night, but what excuse could Bakugo make to not talk with you? Probably one about being too sleepy to “deal with your shit right now” but you didn’t care! You were going to force him to talk! You won’t leave his room until he does!
You walked along the dimmed halls of the dorms, eyes alert as you didn’t want to get caught by a teacher patrolling for disobedient students. You made it to Bakugo’s door safely and knocked on it. You waited patiently, looking down the halls to make sure no one was coming. There was no response from Bakugo yet and you knocked again and called for him as low as you could. Still nothing. You shook his door knob and found out it was unlocked, and you excused yourself before you pushed his door opened.
You expected to find him fast asleep in his bed. Instead, you found his bed perfectly made and not a soul has touched it since. If his bed was empty, it meant he was out and about when he wasn’t supposed to be. But why would Bakugo break curfew? Maybe he just went for a walk? You wanted that to be the case but…
When you decided to wait for him to return in the commons, you were surprised to see him walking down the stairs. Even though it was dark, you could still see the cuts and bruises all over his face and body from the moonlight that shone through the windows. His hands were deep in his pockets and his crimson eyes looked as if they glowed in the dark. They locked on you in an instant and you gasped at the sight of Bakugo. Did he get into a fight? You questioned as your eyes traced his shadowy figure that was getting closer. He was now standing in front of you, his expression neutral except for his brows that remained furrowed. Now that you were seeing his face a lot closer, there were bandages on his cheeks and also his lip that sported dried blood at its corners.
You opened your mouth to speak, but nothing came out. You were still stunned by his appearance and wondered who he fought with to gain such injuries. And most importantly, he didn’t look as angry as you thought he would. Finally, you gained the courage to speak and as soon as you got a syllable out, Bakugo had bend over toward you and placed an arm around your midsection. When he stood up straight, he effortlessly threw you over his shoulder and you yelped a little too loud at the sudden change in position. He quickly shushed you, a small click of his tongue came after.
He carried you all the way to the 4th floor without so much of a sweat. He threw the door to his room open and kicked it shut once he stepped in. A small grunt left you when you were dropped upon his bed, the springs bounced under your weight and squeaked to Bakugo quickly moving on top of you. You panicked when his body pressed against yours, your cheeks heating up in color as his face was just a mere inch from your own. Your heart was thundering in your chest so hard that you heard it through your eardrums. Wait! Did he want to do it?! You weren’t ready for this yet!
“W-Wait, Katsuki!” You stammered out, shaking your head. “I-I don’t think I’m ready for this!”
“Shut up.”
“Aah!” You gasped as he suddenly hooked his arms under your tense body and he dropped his head upon your chest. You heard a heavy sigh leave him as he held you close. You were flustered because it was a little awkward having Bakugo’s head resting between your breasts. Your arms were free to move about, but you didn’t quite know where to place them. You were relieved that Bakugo’s intentions were pure, however your heart was still frantically beating. You were afraid Bakugo could hear it with his ear pressed against your body. You smelt the musky scent of smoke and concrete from him, and within his blonde hair were specks of dust.
“Why weren’t you in your room?” He then asked, and you couldn’t help but scoff.
“I can ask the same of you. Who were you fighting…?”
Bakugo stayed quiet for a moment before you heard his mumble, it sounded quite rough almost like he didn’t want to let you know. “Deku.”
Your eyes widened. “W-Why?”
“I can’t tell you.” He simply said, and you guessed it was a secret between the childhood friends. You weren’t going to pester him about it.
“Well…” Bakugo felt your hand caressing his head, your fingers playing with his spiky blonde strands. “Did you at least make up after?”
There was another short silence. And when he spoke, his voice sounded so far away. “I don’t know.” His arms were squeezing your body tightly, like he didn’t want to let go. You had no idea what Bakugo was feeling right now. You couldn’t tell if he was angry or sad, or maybe tired. His voice was abnormally small yet still sounded rough around the edges. His body felt very tense before but the moment you started caressing the back of his head, he grew relaxed under your delicate touches. Your other hand was upon his back, rubbing the soreness he felt from his injuries away. No matter what he was feeling right now, you knew Bakugo needed some comforting.
“Don’t worry.” You smiled softly and closed your eyes. “I’m sure you guys did.”

Silver Jack Relationship Alphabet :
@silverjackfan this is for you ;3 💜
A- Activity (what is their favorite activity to do with you?)
Silver Jack likes... I mean LOVES to show you some of his magic tricks. He's very good at it because... Well, he can bend reality. He adores when you watch his enigmatic moves in awe as he let the magic do its work through his hands. He used to practice alone, it was nice but... It lacked an audience ya know? So now that you're here, he can show you what he's capable of!
B- Beginnings (How do they act in the beginning of a relationship?)
One word: Clingy. This boy is touch starved and needs a lot of attention. He always manages to touch you when you're around. Lots of hugging, hands holding, nuzzles, kisses, and so on. He also really likes to wrap his long tail around your body, it's one of his way to say "i love you". But of course, if you think he's too clingy and you ask him to stop, he'll stop. But he'll need some physical contact eventually.
C- Communication (Are they good communicators? How do they normally talk about their problems or solve issues?)
He's very very talkative, charismatic and clever, OF COURSE HE'S A GOOD COMMUNICATOR. He certainly knows that communication is key in a relationship so if he has a problem he'll vent it to you most of the time. And usually he prefers to solve problems on his own, he can manage it. However, if it's something related to his past life in hell, Silver will have a lot of difficulty trying to find the right words to describe it so he just ends up not talking about it much. Don't blame him, words can hardly describe what he went through down there...
D- Drunk (what are they like when they're drunk?)
First of all he needs a lot of alcohol to get drunk. Firstly because he's a very tall boy but also because he's a demon and normal amount of alcohol usually doesn't do much to him.
Second of all if you thought he was being physical before just wait until you see him drunk. His hands are all over you... In a not-so-innocent way :> He might not be much aware of his huge claws anymore so be careful not to end up with several cuts. Aside from that he's very joyful and giggly.
E- Emergency (How are they in emergency situations? You get hurt, they get hurt, someone is dying... Etc.)
He knows what to do in emergency situations, how he feels depends on the kind of emergency though. If he gets hurt, he will literally just stare at the wound and say "Oh... How unfortunate..." while shrugging. However if YOU get hurt he will freak out. He'll reassure you and take care of you correctly but you'll feel his fear. Just make sure to reassure him once you're out of danger, he might shake a bit because he was so damn scared.
F- Free spot (I'll give you any headcanon I come up with)
If he gets embarrassed/flattered/shy, his pointy ears will start to lightly flutter, his tail will wiggle and his pale cheeks will take a light pink color. It's very cute to look at tbh. Also, the movements his tail makes can be an indicator of his current mood.
G- Gifts (What kind of gifts do they give? What kind of gifts do they get?)
Jewelries. Listen, Silver Jack loves shiny objects kinda like a magpie would. Anything shiny, no matter its value, will catch his eyes. He's fascinated. He'll steals get some for you if you like it. Although if you prefer different kind of gifts he'll do his best to satisfy you. And really he's not difficult when it comes to gifts. Give him anything shiny like a spoon or whatever and he'll be over the moon. "Prettyyyyy~"
H- Hugs (How does they show affection/cuddle?)
Have I mentioned how needy he is already? Seriously give this rat a hug he really needs it. In the most traditional way, he just likes to hug your much smaller form, kiss you, nuzzle you or holding your hands. For the less traditional way he likes to show affection by nibbling at your hair/the clothes you're wearing, wrapping his tail around you and licking your face :p (let him love you he means well)
I- Irritation (What is something that irritates them? How do they show their irritation?)
Please PLEASE for the love of god don't play whith his pointy ears. He accepts ANY kind of physical contact except for THIS one. He doesn't like having his ears touched at all. Also, if you try to get him jealous on purpose, he's really not gonna like it. 
J- Jackpot (How would they spend their winnings if they won the lottery?)
SHINY OBJECTS. EVERYWHERE.
Also food, a lot of food......... And many gifts for you of course darling~
K- Kryptonite (What is their ultimate weakness?)
LISTEN. No matter how mad, sad or bad he is feeling, if you pet his tail he's going to melt. A purring mess under your touch.
It's a very sensitive part of his body so if you learn all his sweet spots, you can manage to literally relax him in 0.000001 second.
L- Laughter (what makes them laugh?)
A lot of things. It can be from the most random stupid things. He's a giggly rat and just laughs at anything slightly funny. He's such a dork.
His laugh is really adorable though... I'm not gonna speak about his evil laugh because it's freaking terrifying. Aside from that, he snorts, giggles and produces a lot of high pitched noises.
M- Morning (How do they wake up in the morning? Are they a morning person or a morning grouch?)
He wakes up late, both your limbs lazily tangled together, he is clinging onto you, his tail wrapped around tour body. Absolutely REQUIRES smooches and pats to wake up properly. He's the worst morning grouch if he doesn't have his daily cuddles.
N- Needy (when do they feel particularly needy? How do they show it?)
Have I mentioned how needy he is yet? This demon. Is. Always. Needy. He didn't really receive any attention in his life so he craves it all the time. He feels particularly needy when he is tired or lonely. And he shows it by awkwardly walking towards you, burying his face in your neck/hair and just.... Grabbing you. If he gets what he wants his tail will happily wiggle.
O- Oasis (Where is their happy place? Where would they go if they didn’t have anything holding them back?)
He belongs nowhere. Before meeting you, he just wandered wherever he could live. After meeting you, he only wanted to follow you. He will go where you go.
P- Pain (How do they handle pain? How do they handle when you are in pain?)
Physically, he handles pain extremely well, this man is almost immune to death. He knows he will regenerate very quickly if he gets wounded so it's not a big deal. Now emotionally, that's another story. This demon is full on emotions and once you've unlocked the way to his heart, he is exposed to emotional pain, like it or not. He has trouble dealing with his emotions.
If you get wounded, he will take care of everything professionally and not shake at any point, but you can feel how frightened he is inside. Silver Jack is at the edge of tears... Poor guy. If you are in emotional pain, he'll help you by holding your body close to him and ask if you need to talk, or be distracted from it. He is of very good help when it comes to emotions.
Q- Quote (What’s a quote that fits them and your relationship)
I can't choose between :
"I'm the monster that lives under your bed, and you won't get rid of me."
Or
"We can be whatever you want. I can be whoever you want me to be."
R- Reunion (How do they celebrate seeing you after a long time of being apart)
Two takes:
1) A gentle clawed hand rests on your cheek, rubbing your face with the thumb. You look up to the man and smiles, he smiles back. "Hey sweetheart, long time no see..." He hugs you tightly.
2)TACKLING YOU AND HUG YOU UNTIL YOU CAN'T BREATHE. "hOw coULd yoU lEaVE me for thIS LONG?!?" ;A; *sOB*
Won't let go for 3 hours.
S- Stress (What stresses them out? How do deal with stress and how do they relieve it?)
When you're mad or upset, and he doesn't know why. He's very nervous when this happens and doesn't really know what to do. He deals with it by hiding his anxiety as much as possible, and ask for a hug. If you refuse, he'll leave you some space and search comfort/advices from his best friend Scampy. Maybe they'll hang out a little to calm down.
T- Terror (What are they afraid of?)
He is the Boogie Man, he has very few fears. He knows this feeling intimately and sure as hell can control it. He literally plays with fear, he's not even affected by it. However if there's one thing he is afraid of, it's losing you. Also, he's scared of hell, his home.
U- Unique (What is a quirk that is unique to them?)
His own existence itself is unique, i mean, come on ! He's the true, the original, the unique Boogie Man. He has all the powers that accompanies this, he has the personality, the appearance... His whole being is unique by itself. There's no one like Silver Jack, not even remotely similar.
V- Violence (Do they fight a lot? Are they a good fighter? What is their fighting style?)
Well, yes. He is a very good fighter. He had to fight a lot during his long life and has quite the experience. He's a good manipulator too, pretty damn talented to play comedy. He mostly lurks in the shadows, studying his victim... His stalking will join his game of terror before brutally murder the human to feast on their flesh. However, you're is weakness. He would never fight, argue or manipulate you. He wants to show you the real him. Not the blood-thirsty beast.
W- Wow (What do you do that really surprises them? What do you do that they really like?)
As a demon, he knows humans do not consider conventional certain "demon things". So if you start to pick on the different little actions he does and imitates them to give him attention, he'll be delighted. He really likes it when you give him little shiny trinkets, it makes him feel spoiled.
X- (Explicit headcanon. For all you degenerates) 
He has.... Certains sensitive spots on his body that turns him on instantly if you play wisely with them. His tail must be the major one, caress it sensually with the tip of your fingers and you'll leave him in a blushing mess.
Also, shape-shifting an becomes handy when it comes to intimate moments :>
Y- Yucky (Is there something that grosses them out so badly that they can’t deal with it?)
Well... It's not 100% in the theme but, he has two very large scars on his back. He had wings before, but someone took them from him. He suffered a lot from trauma, and just the sight of those scars makes him feel sick. He cannot stand feeling or looking at them.
Aside from that, nothing grosses him out to the point of not being able to deal with it. Je has seen a lot.
Z- ZZZ’s (What are their sleeping habits? Both with and without you)
He moves around a lot in his sleep, he always wakes up in the weirdest position you could imagine like he was doing some sort of obscure yoga. He snores lightly and drools a bit like the big dork he is. When you're here, he holds you close and doesn't let go. Good luck if you need to get up.

“God is Dog Spelled Backwards”, an Ede Valley story by Hedgehog.
Jilli felt like she was falling.
A week ago she’d been so confident in her plan, but now that it had finally been executed, an unwavering sense of unease began to linger in the air around her. This whole take-over plan had been to give Jilli control over her life, but now more than ever she felt like a rat trapped in a maze.
It was because the Director was missing. After discovering her office to be empty, and devoid of any clues or information, Abigail had brought her back to the girl’s bathroom, and decided to give Jilli some space. Quite of her own accord, Jilli’s legs took her wandering. Nearly the whole night she’s searched blindly for where the Director might be before Doug found her around three in the morning and took her back to her room.
“She… I think she’s watching me, Doug,” she’d confessed as she buried her head in his chest.
“Who?” he asked, confused.
“The Director. She could be anywhere, just waiting, watching to see what I do next. Where is she, Doug? Where is she??”
“Whoa, whoa, Jill, calm down,” he grabbed her shoulders as she began to scream. “Of course she’s watching you; she’s watching all of us. But now you’ve shown them that they can stand up to her. If she even lifts a finger at you, she’ll have a whole school to answer to.”
That helped, a little bit, but Jilli couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched for the rest of the night, and slept poorly. She kept wondering back and forth, over and over again in half-delirium, what would happen in the morning, when the student body would awaken to find itself alone? The gates were shut, the fence electrified. No one was getting in.
But with the morning sun came a newfound determination. She was the mastermind behind this coup, so now it was her job to lead the newly liberated sheep, right? It wouldn’t be too difficult. Jilli had watched Sakura lead the idol group for years.
When she entered the cafeteria, Doug to her left, Abigail to her right, the rest behind her, she witnessed growing insanity. The students were a hive of bees, humming incessantly to each other, glancing over at the vacant lunch lines. They were beginning to realize that something had changed.
They passed their normal lunch table, and Jilli motioned for the others to sit which she continued to the front. A queen had to address her subjects.
She jumped up on the platform at the far end of the room, the metal beams above her seeming to dangle over her head. The students gradually hushed and turned to her. They were looking for an answer, any answer, and she intended to give them one.
The microphone was dead, but it didn’t matter. Jilli had a voice that carried. “My name…” she began, and stopped as she caught the eye of a few hundred students and her voice hitched. “My name is Jilli Nakajima,” she began again, “and I am the new Director.”
Needless to say, the floor erupted into a flurry of confusion and panic. Jilli just stood there, and waited. Eventually, they realized that she was holding her explanation, and they hushed once more. And so Jilli began to speak.
Afterwards, she wouldn’t even remember what she’d said. She knew that she told them what they’d did, that now there were no adults at St. Adelaide’s, and the students were in charge. And Jilli would lead them.
“I will not pull strings from the shadows, but be forward and honest,” she said, hoping that the Director could hear her. “I will also not keep you here. If anyone wishes to leave. I will be opening the gates on Friday for five minutes.”
After that, she thanked the crowd and got down. She could feel all their eyes on her. They all probably thought she was insane. But everything was fine now. It was all fine. No one, not the Director, or her manager, or her mother, or Kyoko could hurt her now. She was in control.
Jilli sat down at the usual table with all her friends around her. Abigail was discussing who-knew-what with Victor, highly animated as the rims of her round glasses glowed in the harsh light, Sonia was staring off into space while Gil studied her, mildly concerned, and Doug… Doug was only picking at his food.
“Are you okay?” she asked. Why wasn’t he happy? His torture was over.
“It’s just…” he looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, then he shook his head, and said something different instead. “Mike never came back to the room last night.”
“He didn’t?” Jilli leaned forward, concerned. “Come to think of it, where is he now?”
The others at the table began to take an interest. “Who was the last to see the lad?” Gil asked.
“Well, he was at the Director’s office with Abby and I,” Jilli said. “But I had to leave and I haven’t seen him since. Abby?”
“I went back after I dropped you off but he had already left.” Abigail thought for a second. “Oh, but you know, I left the library unlocked. He’s been spending an awful lot of time there. I bet he just fell asleep.”
Mike had been getting a little strange lately, like an undertone she hadn’t noticed before  taken the forefront of his personality.
Doug sighed heavily. “I’m gonna have to be the one to drag his ass out of the creep zone, aren’t I?”
“Hey,” Victor frowned. “She’s sitting right here, you know.”
“I didn’t name any names,” Doug raised his hands in surrender.
“It’s alright, Victor. I take it as a compliment,” Abigail cut in, her smile shark-like.
“It was not meant as one.”
“I don’t care.”
For an instant, it seemed just like everything was normal. But still, the tight lump in Jilli’s gut remained. She couldn’t help feeling numb, unreal, disassociated, like she was floated two feet above her own head.
She hoped Mike was okay.
 ~~ o ~~
Mike was not okay.
The world returned to him slowly, gradually. First as light, then color, then shape. One by one these elements came together to form coherency. He felt numb, unreal, disassociated, like he was floating two feet above his own head.
For an instant, it seemed just like everything was normal. He was lying in his bed in the dorm. But slowly, he began to feel the cold metal on his wrists. It was that cold that brought him back to himself, a least a little. And he didn’t like what he saw.
He was strapped to some sort of table by his wrists and ankles. It was at a forty-five degree angle so if he turned his head he could see a little to the sides.
This room was small and dark, more like a cell than anything. One light shown down from above him, striking him directly in the eye, which made the rest of the room harder to make out. But from what he could see, the wall were padded.
That was somewhat worrying, but he didn’t begin to panic until he saw the IV in his arm. Then he freaked. First he tried to scream, but the best he could manage was a little whimper. Then he struggled against the restraints but his limbs wouldn’t quite obey him and his movements were sluggish.
Where? Why…? Mike couldn’t think clearly enough to form a coherent question.
“He… hel…p,” he managed with intense concentration.
“Even if you managed to scream, no one would ever hear you all the way down here.”
The harsh familiarity of her voice sent shivers down his spine. It was undeniably Abigail, but there was something wrong with it; an undertone he hadn’t noticed before taken to the forefront of her personality.
He stopped struggling. He was too weak to do so anyway.
“There’s a good boy,” her converse made a squeaking sound against the concrete floor as she came around to stare at him, the rims of her round glasses glowing in the harsh light.
“Wh… wha…”
Abigail tilted her head in mock concern. “Do you have something to say?” she asked. “It’s okay, take your time. That tranquilizer I stabbed you with was meant for horses, I think. Sometimes I get so confused.” He could tell by her shark-like grin that she hadn’t been confused at all.
“W… who are you?”
“Oh Mike, please,” she tittered, the sound practically filling the small cell. “I know you’re not that much of a dumb shit. I already told you who I am. Oh, wait, I know what it is. You just can’t believe that I’m the one who put your dear friends through so much suffering. I seemed like such a good girl. Unfortunately, people just aren’t as good as you’d like to think they are. I didn’t lie to you, Mike.” And here she put a small receiver to her mouth and spoke into it. “I’m the one who pulls strings from the shadows,” he wondered what was so funny about that as she began to chuckle. “I am the Director.”
As much as he wished he could, even Mike couldn’t deny it now. That right there was the voice he’d grown to dread over the last month, right in front of his eyes. But even addled though he was, something still nagged at him.
“Bu…” he tried, his words slurring. “The Director has… dir…ected the school since…”
“1976. That’s right!” she beamed. “I see all that research paid off. Yes, I am, in fact, much older than I appear. Well, mentally, at least. By my calculations, I am physically about nineteen years old, give or take a few months.”
“How?”
She shrugged. “Well, I had to test the Project’s theories on someone, and at the time, the only someone I had was myself.”
Mike’s eyes widened. “The Project.”
“I’m sure you know the story by heart now,” Abigail waved him off. “It was the Cold War, there were rumors that the Russians had created the perfect soldier so the government opened up St. Adelaide’s Research Facility to experiment on children and—” she paused, grinning gleefully as Mike’s eyes widened. “Oh, but you didn’t know that last part, did you?”
Mike shook his head. “No… no.”
“Oh, Mike. Did you really think ‘Buttercup’ was a flower? You can be awfully dumb for someone so smart. Buttercup was a nine-year-old girl. Many of the scientists almost balked at the idea of using children, but it was necessary, you know.”
“How is… something like that… necessary?” Mike couldn’t think straight. Everything was wrong now, it was all wrong.
“Project Paragon works in three stages,” she held the requisite number of fingers in front of his nose and they blurred across his vision. “Mind, body, and soul. The mind element in particular requires… extensive surgery. You see, adult minds are already well formed, in control. But a child’s—or a teenager’s—mind is incredibly spongy. It can change its ways. Thusly, children. Thusly, you.
Mike’s stomach did a somersault, and the metaphorical motion nearly made him puke. He strained against his restraints. “No.”
“Yes.” Abigail’s eyes gleamed. “I know I won’t fail this time. Your mind is the spongiest I’ve seen in years. It adapted remarkably well to the large amounts of antihistamines that I slipped into your Red Bull.”
So it wasn’t Red Bull that gave you wings. It was just drugs.
“The process will take maybe a week, and most of that will be devoted to altering your biology form this inside out. This time… it will be perfect. You will be perfect. I’ve learned from the original Project’s mistakes, oh yes.”
Mike pulled so hard at the restraints that he nearly dislocated his shoulder.
“You see, I’ve discovered the problem with the first paragon, Paragon Alpha. They let her keep her memories. She remembered who she had been. She mourned the loss of her own innocence and proved uncontrollable. Now, I can’t ‘erase’ your memories, per se, that’s impossible. But I can put them somewhere you’ll never find them.”
“You’re… you’re insane.”
All she did in response was stare at him, a curious smile plastered on her face.
“I never said I wasn’t.”
Skipping, she fiddled with the IV on his arm, despite his struggling. After a second, a strange, green liquid began to flow through the IV and into his arm. “Now, to do a little altering to that DNA of yours. I won’t lie, it’s going to be quite painful. Essentially, your whole body is going to die and be replaced, one small bit at a time.”
She gave him a pat on the cheek before she turned and opened the door to his cell. “I’ll be back in a few hours to check up on you. Don’t go anywhere.” Her cackle echoed down the hall.
The silence was deafening as Mike waited for unconsciousness to claim him again. But as the seconds passed, his stomach fell. He realized that there would be no mercy. Whatever future that green liquid was bringing, he would feel every second of it.
The pain started slowly, just a tingling and slight numbness of his extremities, but with growing horror he knew that it was only going to get worse.
Mike felt like he was falling.
