Chapter 2 - The Kidnapping of Danny Fenton - Tumblr Edition

Since AO3 is down, I might as well post the chapters here as well. Would give me some time to edit and sift through everything again to refresh my memory. This is not a rewrite of the story and will only contain fixes and corrections that went unnoticed by me. These edits will eventually be added to AO3.

.

.

This is where Danny found himself…

In this…

this cold…

dark…

lonely room….

nothing could get in or out of this room…

neither he, nor any summer heat…

not even the ambient ecto energy of Amity Park could pierce these walls…

It felt like he was starving…

even if they gave him human food, he could only make so much ectoplasm himself…

.

.

.

He laid there, in the corner, holding himself by the knees, waiting…

waiting…

for food…

for energy...

for something...

for someone…

but none of it came…

no one had come for him…

.

.

.

he shivered…

The cold didn't always bother him…

not since the fight with Undergrowth…

not since his core was stabilized…

and his body wasn't trying to overpower itself anymore...

that all seemed so long ago…

but right now, his human half was freezing…

and his ghost half was overheating...

.

His body wasn't getting what it so dearly needed…

and it was competing with itself because of it…

.

.

.

he hugged himself…

to conserve energy…

to conserve heat…

.

but also…

for comfort…

for friends…

for hugs…

that he would probably never see again…

.

nothing could stop tears from welling up in his eyes and drifting down his cheeks

little by little, the echoing hallways were overtaken by muffled moans, sobs, and wails

.

.

.

It wasn't unusual for there to be footsteps in this part of the building.

It was usually to check up on prisoners.

Or in this case, to check up on Danny.

to give him food.

to wash him.

to make sure he didn't die or fade...

after all, he was their 'treasured specimen'…

their power source…

their secret weapon…

their ultimate guineapig…

why waste time on ghosts and animals when they could experiment on something that didn't fade or die because of one wrong cut

that could provide both human and ghost samples in one swab

that could live off of human food alone, with no need for ectoplasm or ecto energy

.

That's why when Danny heard footsteps outside his chamber, he chose to ignore it.

Even when the door to his cell opened, he tried not to focus on it..

what would be the point in fighting back anymore?

in trying to escape?

in having hope to be let free..?

hope of going home…

He had tried multiple times already...

and none have been even been close…

he just had to accept that he would never see his home again…

never be safe again…

never see them again…

never fulfill his dreams…

never fulfill his obsessions…

.

Danny didn't care if the guard placed the food down at the door or right in front of him…

because at that moment, he didn't feel like eating…

he didn't feel like getting up...

.

.

"Hey."

A large and gruff voice came from above Danny. It sounded like they got a new guard to look after him.

I don't want to do this right now...

He chose to ignore him.

.

"Hey!"

He sounded annoyed. Maybe he was angry about the fact that he was being ignored by a child.

Danny's sobs became quieter, with quicker, shallower breaths. He tried his best to keep his mind away from the guard in front of him.

"Come on, you need to eat this. I can't leave until you finish all of it."

But why not?

With his attention no longer on the thoughts drifting through his mind, his sobs became silent, with slowing, shallow breaths.

Why can't they let me cry in peace?

The person started moving, getting closer to Danny.

"Kid!"

I don't want to!

"Are you listening to me! I said-"

The guard's hand was now on Danny's shoulder. He slowly turned his head towards the his voice, giving him a dead eyed stare with his swirling green eyes.

"Um…"

The guard's voice almost sounded startled.

that should be enough...

"just… leave me alone..."

His voice was small and groggy. He still didn't know why his voice hurt so much.

He whacked the warm hand way. It hurt him just as much as it did the guard.

ouch...

His head ducked back down towards his knees.

He grabbed his hand with his other one, rubbing away the pain. This was usually enough to get them to go away.

.

The cell went silent.

For a moment, he wondered whether the guard was still there.

.

But his hopes were quelled when a muffled chuckle reverberated from above him.

"You think you can just hit your superiors like that, huh, demon?"

well, at least this is something new…

He raised his head to give the guard another glare.

He was met with a hit to the face.

His head went backwards, hitting the wall.

Before he could even think to look towards the guard again, he was off the ground, and in the air.

.

Am I… flying?

.

His face hit the floor, skidding, before eventually coming to a stop.

no, I was thrown...

"Let that be a lesson, hell spawn!"

The guard seemed to take that as his victory, and decided to go back outside the cell.

After one final skid of the tray, the cell returned to complete darkness as the heavy door shut behind the guard.

The only things visible were the slowly fading glow of Danny's eyes, and the small bottle of glowing yellow-green fluid on the tray with the rest of the food.

.

He didn't see the need to get up…

he allowed himself to spread out across the cold floor…

why even get up to begin with…

they'd just pick me back up off the floor next time they needed something again…

he wondered what they'd take this time…

a kidney, perhaps?

maybe a femur?

or maybe they just wanted to play with his nervous system again…

who knows, maybe this time they'll cut one of his silver cords again and see how long it takes to recover from his paralysis…

he didn't have the energy for that…

he didn't have the energy to get up…

not even enough to cry…

so there he lay…

for who knows how long…

.

.

he almost managed to fall asleep…

but was awoken by a burning growl in his stomach…

upon opening his heavy eyelids, his attention was immediately drawn to the tray, with a still glowing bottle next to the bowl of sludge.

sludge he intentionally chose to ignore at the time…

it seemed he wouldn't be able to ignore it much longer..

He began crawling over towards the glowing tray of food.

He didn't know it then, but he now regretted not listening to the guard…

even if he had anger management issues, the bowl of sludge would probably have tasted better when it was still warm…

Bit by bit, he gulped the large gelatinous mass down.

It felt like it stuck to the walls of his throat as he swallowed.

same horrible sludge as always…

why am I so stupid...

He reached for the glowing green liquid and gave it a sniff.

It smelled like rotten apples.

Reluctantly, he took a sip.

It tickled as it went down.

He felt it bubble and fizz in his stomach, as some semblance of energy returned to his body.

He put the bottle to the side and continued to pick at the sludge in the bowl.

.

After everything was gone, Danny found himself in the darkness once again.

Alone.

Still cold, but not freezing.

With a burning pain on his face.

He crawled towards the corner furthest away from the door…

and pulled himself into a fetal position…

he held his knees tightly.

with one hand, he felt around the hot area on his face.

it was a stripe that stretched from his forehead to just above his cheek.

another reminder of where I am...

another reminder of what I lost...

he clenched his eyes shut.

he didn't intend to, but before he knew it, he was asleep..

Long Overdue: Rut

Pairing: Gao Shi De / Zhou Shu Yi 

Rating: Explicit

Summary: It's been a while since Shi De has gone into a rut. It wasn't long overdue or anything like that. Not per se. He just hasn't had one since he was in university. Now that he was mated, Shi De should have been expecting it. ~*~αβΩ~*~

Part V of Long Overdue. Alternate Universe where Shi De and Shu Yi first meet during the merger/working together instead of in childhood/university.

[everygayfandom]

watching everyone scramble in the downdetector comment section over ao3 being down at 2 in the morning was almost better than the fanfiction i was reading

#ao3 #ao3 was down #but we good now #fanfic #fanfiction

[bardofavon]

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

#ao3 #archive of our own #fanfiction #tbh even if I got a comment that said ‘I hate you I’m going to kill your family’ on chapter 75 it still means they read 75 chapters first…. #it just makes me sad to see so many writers shouting into the void #and also see ppl complain openly about the specific types of comments they receive #posting screenshots on Reddit like ‘should I be mad at this’ CALM DOWN #sigh
