Okay but idea for SAGAU for something silly that just happened
so i was like playing with my sister right??? And she's like 4 and i thought genshin was like mostly PG so i decided to play with her because my mom always ask me to spend more time with her so we can bond and be more united, and i love my mom so i said yeah sure and i just finished the liyue Archon quest yesterday so i was doing that an involuntary sacrifice quest thing no? So we just go into the domain all happy go lucky when KABOOM the upside down venti statue and the dead treasure hoarder, i audibly gasp and my sibling runs away crying and now me and my mum are laughing while she combs my hair, so i thought it would be funny if this was a sagau scenario and you're the first sagau writing blog i scrolled by so i wanted to know ur take on it XOXO
Anon this is absolutely hilarious but I feel so bad for your sibling-
Hilarious happenstance aside, this kind of thing would be rather interesting for SAGAU! Depending on whether or not this is a regular SAGAU with an adult Creator, or if we take my Godling AU and use that, it could give some pretty interesting results.
With a fully grown - or even just a teenaged - Creator, the emotional impact would be jarring and disturbing, but they would have the maturity and knowledge necessary to help with the situation. BUT, if we want to go the heartbreaking route...
Imagine, if you will, a little Godling Creator, eagerly following along behind the Traveler and Paimon. Still very young, baby fat still rounding out their cheeks, but still so excited to finally adventure with one of their favorite people. They hold onto the Traveler's hand the whole time at their insistence. While the Traveler has a bad feeling about all of this, they can't exactly say "no" to the Creator Incarnate...
They regret bringing such a little kid with them. The terror in their wide eyes as they stare at the defiled statue is a look that will haunt the star-traveling being for the rest of their life. And, oh, how their sweet little voice shakes as they cling to their guardian, innocent eyes filling with tears as they mumble,
"What wrong with that 'batos...?"
The Traveler is quick to scoop the baby god into their arms, hurrying away from the statue and the corpse knelt before it. They duck and weave through the bubble traps, doing their best to console the godling all the while.
Things only go from bad to worse after that...

Dancing in victory- It was lust, he told himself. The natural inclination of a Targaryen to their own blood. She was the most beautiful woman in all the realm, any man would desire her- hells, most of them did. But it could not be denied, now. He loved her. His sweet niece, whose sweet voice soothed his easily inflamed temperament, who brought a smile to his face, however imperceptible. The nights he slept in her bed, the images of men dying on the battlefield, their screams before being consumed by dragonfire, of blood and gore and corpses as far as far as the eye could see, they plagued him no longer when her soft, warm body slept against his own.
It was clear to him now, it had been for many moons, though he'd not admit it, but he could not deny it any longer, not even to himself. When he was nothing but an arrogant young man eager for war, having Alys warm his bed- that was lust...there was nothing good in it, nothing that soothed his soul. But now, as a man hardened by war, and his own transgressions- this was no mere fleeting thing- it was love. He loved her. Perhaps no matter what, Targaryens are condemned to repeat history in some way or another. Her body, soft, and warm under him, as she made the sweetest noises as he nipped and sucked on her neck, was the closest to heaven as a man like him might get. "Oh- Uncle-" She mewled softly, her legs wrapped around his waist pulling him impossibly closer. His sweet girl, his perfect girl. "My perfect girl," He rasped. "My niece, my little love." He squeezed her breast. "Mine, mine, mine," He whispered against her skin. The doors suddenly flung open, and she gasped, her eyes widening, as there stood the one person he prayed would never find out, not like this. Aegon. "Father, please-" She began to plead. "You bastard!" Aegon roared, as Aemond moved like lightening, hastily pulling on his breeches, anticipating Aegon's anger. "Brother, wait-" "She is my daughter! My child, you defiled her! You have tainted her, my baby girl!" Aegon shoved him backward, his face red and flushed with anger. "Father! Please, stop it-" Aegon paid his daughter no heed. "Aegon, calm yourself-" Aemond blocked his brother's fist, as both men tumbled to the ground, Aegon trying to land as many hits, Aemond doing his best to block them. He had no wish to harm his brother, he knew Aegon was furious. Helaena ran in and shut the doors, her eyes taking in the scene before her as though she'd somehow seen it before- her brothers angrily fighting, her daughter distraught, grasping the sheet to her as she clung to some modesty. "Stop it! Stop it Father, please!" She pleaded, as Aemond shoved him off him, and Aegon growled in anger again. "Aegon, please!" Helaena pleaded with her daughter. "Do you know what your brother did?" Aegon shouted at his sister-wife. "He defiled our daughter! Our own brother, behind our backs, she is a child, our child, and he has taken her innocence! He is old enough to be her father, dammit!" Aegon bellowed in anger. Helaena pulled the robe from the ground and helped cover her daughter properly, shushing her to soothe her. "I'm not a child, Father!" She protested, but Aegon shook his head. He unsheathed Blackfyre and held the blade to Aemond's neck. "I ought to kill you," Aegon seethed. "She is a girl, a child!" "No!" She pleaded desperately.
"She is a woman, Aegon!" Aemond snarled. "And I did not harm her, I swear it!" "Not harm her? You would lie, after all you've done?" Aegon tackled him to the ground again, holding his sword to his throat. "My own brother- how could you? You have ruined her!" "I love her." Aemond rasped, and the room fell silent. "What?" Aegon responded through his heavy breaths. "I love her. I do not deserve her, but I love her. She is the air I breathe, my life has been nothing but death, and darkness, since the war, but now there is light. She is that light, brother. I love her." Aemond confessed. Her heart clenched, tears forming in her eyes. Her mother kissed her temple soothingly, and Aegon, still angry, at the very least, withdrew the sword. "You love her?" "I love her, brother." Aemond repeated. "When you called me back to court, I asked nothing. I became your Hand, I did my duty- it is all I have ever done. Duty. Loving her is not a duty. Loving her is a privilege. Loving her is my only redeeming trait. I have never asked anything of you brother, but now, I ask this." Aegon's angry expression faded, but in his eyes there was still anger, though now with a mix of shock. He had never heard his brother speak in such a manner. "Wed her to me. Let me make her my wife, in the way of our ancestors. I shall love her, and cherish her, and honour her. And gods forbid I ever break this vow, then I shall kneel willingly so that you would take my head." Aegon sheathed his sword, and Aemond rose to his feet. Aegon was silent, before he went over to his daughter. He took her hands in his, and asked gruffly, "You love him?" Tearfully, she nodded. "Yes, Father, I- I love him." She looked over at her Uncle. "Daddy, I love him." Aegon looked from his daughter to his sister-wife, who nodded, then back to his daughter. "If this is your wish, my little one, then I give my blessing. You may wed." Aegon finally said. He pressed a kiss to her forehead, and looked upon her tenderly.
He still felt angry, he still had not come to terms with it- but he could deny his baby girl nothing.
All of this !!
(I've been away for the weekend so apologies for short or no replies at all)
Ill get back to writing and creating visuals/moodboards and such.
You are all the best !! Xx 💕💕

Umineko EP5. Tea Party and ???
The tea party starts by discussing what most magical beings are, starting with the Seven Sisters being cheap souvenirs.... they point out the Chiester Sisters are rifles but not that they are Maria's toys, which is kind of interesting. Dlanor tries to stop Bernkastel from defiling their executions and gets shut down because of Bernkastel's authority,
Bernkastel finally mentions Erika as her daughter after lovebombing her for a while and Erika is happy for like, the first time since her introduction... I always feel really bad for Erika in spite of it all.... narration points out she literally starts shaking at being allowed to call herself a witch.
Tumblr media
Lambdadelta walks to Battler's corpse and talks about how disappointed she is. Dlanor just did this as well. Battler has disappointed everyone. Lambdadelta and Bernkastel flirt for a bit and Erika reveals the totally real title of Episode 6: Checkmate of the Golden Witch (ignore than in this version you can see all the titles from the main screen)
Tumblr media
I will do the ??? as well since the Tea Party was really short. Beato NOW comes to tell Battler he is a liar and disappointed her, like everyone else by this point... the different voice she uses for I am sorry breaks my heart.
Tumblr media
We flashback ad get an extended scene of Dlanor Virgilia Batller discussing the mystery genre more broadly, Battler doesn't like Knox commandments because saying shit isn't even worth investigating is arrogant and limits the genre (and also obviously doesn't like how Erika uses them to shut down theories before they are even looked into) but Dlanor talks about how they are there in order to have the trust in the writer in that the mystery is solvable. The discussion about how humans need assurance that what they are solving is solvable resonates with me..... often I assume I shouldn't even try to fix problems or solutions because I assume I am too dumb to solve them anyway,
So, the red is Beatrice giving Battler the tools he needs to solve her heart, and after enough failings and forcing him to try without much success....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
im going to kill you Battler
Tumblr media
As we move forward, Battler begins to realize how everyone has been throwing and throwing hints at him and he has been throwing them away, Battler starts making his final theory, his last attempt. With Knox's 1 he realizes everyone after EP1 must not be the culprit. Uses Knox second to realize that all the magic scenes had a deeper meaning in them.
Tumblr media
Battler realizes EP3 was easy mode for babies, lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Battler's first words at realizing the truth: "Idiot..." Battler realized it was too late for Beato. Battler wasn't able to reach Sayo's heart when it mattered the most.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The game is allowed to continue because of Lambdadelta acknowledges Battler as the new Golden Witch, Lmand might not hand answers but she will help the people truly put in effort and create certainty. Erika feels humiliated by the fact Battler has a higher rank than her now... Battler's role as a Witch is pretty interesting too... he isn't interested in creating a truth so much as in creating enough truths to cast doubt into Erika's theory.... in other words, furthering the Illusion of the Witch. He could deny the Natsuhi theory but that would expose the game and destroy the witch illusion.
Tumblr media
The usage of "Demon's script" is pretty interesting haha, still see yourself as the heroine of this story, Bern?
Tumblr media
Battler starts putting down the foundations for Battler culprit theory.... Battler putting an insane theory first thing after reaching the truth must have gotten some people really confused. Battler immediately destroys everything Erika has been building up to in a single red.
Tumblr media
Battler points out they eren't dead when he yelled, which is true, and then Ronove points out they only need to be dead by the end of the game for the red truths to be valid. Ronove, Gaap, Virgilia and even Dlanor for good measure group up to dunk on Erika.
Tumblr media
The Golden Truth.
Tumblr media
Jesus Christ.
Tumblr media
Erika accepts her role as Detective before Witch.

The Sun, The Wheel, Burning across the Skies
So I had this little plot bunny pop into my head, it’s a worm and sunless skies/seas fusion thing. There will be spoilers for skies and worm beyond this point.
So basically this idea stems from two things in skies, there’s a number of nightmares that seem to indicate that your captain is a judgement bound to flesh in an effort to better understand the mortals, in one of them you resurrect a crewman and it looks a whole lot like what the dawn machine does. In the other you eat some souls(ie judgment shit). The other inspiration is the judgement egg item that you can acquire in seas, which is literally the soul of a baby judgment before it could develop into one.
So imagine if you will Taylor Hebert, a cheerful young chatterbox with a rigid sense of right and wrong and the burning soul of a newborn sun. I could see this going two ways, one is more of a crossover using an alternate golden morning as a jumping off point, essentially she doesn’t know about her truth nature until bonesaw breaks down the barriers between her and QA, and instead of being crushed under the weight… she’s fine, in fact she’s better than fine, she’s burning with energy. She’s losing herself even faster than she could have, and her light is a terrible and beautiful force to behold. She becomes Khepri in truth. The dawn reborn. A being capable of fighting Scion on even footing. Suffice to say she kills him, and devours his corpse, defiles it even. The Logi dance and fly across worlds of crystal flesh and bind them to her terrible will, breaking the firmament and casting it into reality. Our story would follow other parahumans as they cope with dealing with invaders from the skies, not whispers from behind glass, the mad titans and gods that the shards have become(actively interfering without hosts), and the collateral of two judgments who are warring(the sun and Taylor). This would almost certainly be from Lisa’s POV, she’s exactly the type of protagonist skies would chew up and spit out.
The other would be a more lighthearted tale of Taylor growing up as something not quite human but desperately trying to be a good person. She’s probably end up actually talking to the sun(her 3rd parent) and working on figuring out exactly what’s going on. This would probably look more like a Fallen London play through, but from someone higher on the chain. This would probably also deal with her confronting her mothers Parabolan counterpart and judgement politics(for example what the hell is the White up to? And which conjunction would she be in, that’s a choice for like 500 years in the future at least). I feel like I would want to take this out of Brockton bay tbh. And in this timeline seas actually did happen, so London got yoinked. Taylor was born as a result of the sun preparing for the possibility of rejection and its death. She’s basically a replacement.

Hi BUB CONGRATS ON 500! 💗 it’s okay if you don’t accept but ingredient 55 reincarnation au + sugar 7 forbidden relationship (or unrequited love?) for Sukuna 🥺 I basically just want a part 2 of Home from War 😫 A snack (drabble) is fine I’ll pick up any crumbs you leave me 🤧 Maybe Sukuna’s thought process after he finds out reader was telling the truth but it was too late, or his thought process when he sees her for the first time and she’s getting closer with Megumi. Oooorrr what happens after the ending of Home from War. If you don’t do continuations that’s alright thank you!
CHOU BUB THANKS SO MUCH 🥺💗💗 and here it is, the ending of home from war, the part two people have been asking for! it’s pretty angsty tho and i may or may not have been hurt while writing this, but i hope you like it anyway!
home from war: the ending | part one
how do you comfort your lover when he cannot find his way home back from the war?
meal order: 55 (reincarnation au) + 7 (forbidden relationship) no longer included + unrequited love + home from war inspired read here: home from war: the ending
song i listened to while writing: lay me down by sam smith (yes i was looking for PAIN)
warnings: murder, character death, angst, regrets, overall a big sad, unedited as always
Tumblr media
The sky mourned your death; dark clouds forming overhead as Sukuna watched his servants pile dirt over your body. Your lifeless eyes stared back into nothingness, the gaping hole in your chest prominent. As his last bit of respect for his fallen comrade, he’d ordered his servants to dress you in the finest white robes to replace your bloodstained clothes.
His lover stood beside him; small hands clutched around his bicep while she weeped.
He couldn’t understand why she cried, why she grieved your death. Did his lover not care that this female curse had tried to kill her and their baby just moments ago, cruel and heartless as she was?
Of course she didn’t. His lover was kind, and he didn’t stop her as the feeble human fell down to her knees, fists bundled up around her robes until your body was completely buried underneath the underneath.
They stayed there for what seemed like an eternity until his lover had grown completely tired, body dehydrated from all the crying. She couldn’t cry anymore and her clothes were stained with dirt. Sukuna sighed, his gaze pointed away from the single lily flower that laid above your corpse, reaching over to his lover to pull her arm.
“My love,” he called out, “Come on. Let’s go home. It’s getting dark.”
“No, you don’t get it,” his lover pushed him away, eyes blurred with tears and lips terribly chapped. “She was your friend, Sukuna, you couldn’t kill her just like that!”
“You’re the one who doesn’t get it. She tried to kill you and our baby!”
“Because the child is a monster!” his lover screamed back, pounding her small fists on his chest. It barely grazed him from his looming size, but something about the desperation in his lover’s voice had the words hitting straight through his heart, her gaze piercing. “Because it’s your child and you’re a monster – she was kind to you, she loved you and fought with you, you shouldn’t have killed—”
Sukuna’s arms withdrew his sword before he could realize what he was doing. The sounds of gurgling brought him back to reality, the curse stepping backward as his lover fell down on both knees, hands wrapped around her neck.
Blood dripped from the clean slice he’d made. She choked on her own blood, the liquid black and cursed – you were right. His lover did carry the curse of Death.
Sukuna stood frozen in his spot as his lover fell limp on the ground, the tips of her fingers pointed in your burial’s direction. The dark liquid oozed and poured out of her fragile body, the blood seeping into the ground until the lily turned black.
They all died. The Curse of Death had been exorcised before it fully formed, and he watched as the flower withered, crumpling down itself before the petals fell.
Tumblr media
“Hey, Sukuna.”
“Hmm?” he looked up from cleaning his blade, scarlet eyes narrowed at the way you bounced from the corner. It was unusual for you to be this bubbly; not that he minded, though he’d never admit it out loud. Seeing you smile only happened once in a blue moon, thus catching the King of Curses off guard when your entire face lit up, eyes crinkled into half-moons at your enthusiasm.
Your laughter painted the walls of his dark, lonely temple a thousand colours. He barely got to move, much less respond, before you placed a flower crown on his head.
“Don’t you look charming.”
“Tch,” he held back a growl, the tips of his ears flushing red because how dare you defile him like this. The only reason he hadn’t killed you right there and then was because you were the so-called Queen of Curses, adorning your own handmade flower crown, only yours were a lot more colourful and his full of plain blue ones. It was his way of accepting you as his equal, though this didn’t dissipate the irritation that bloomed in his chest. “Get this vile thing off me.”
“It’s a crown I made for us, though,” you pouted, and you looked so terrifyingly adorable for a malicious and bloodthirsty Curse that even Sukuna was stunned. “See, we even match. It’s going to wither soon so let’s just enjoy it for now – while it’s still fresh and living.”
“Death means nothing to us,” he reminded you, “We don’t really die. We were never really living in the first place. Even if our bodies did decompose or wither, we’d still manifest into something else sooner or later.”
You smiled at his words, your cheek turned to him while you looked up at the bright sky. Just like your smiles and laughter, being able to see a clear sky with the blueness calming you both down was rare up far here from your temple. Due to both of your cursed presences looming over the mountain, the skies were always dark, terrifying, and cold.
But not today – not when you were basking in this thing you called “life” and Sukuna’s heart began to beat for the first time in a thousand years.
“I know it’s stupid of me to even think this is a life when I was never really alive in the first place,” you faced him again, the smile never leaving your lips. In that moment, the sun shone down on you, the colour of the flowers like a wonderful spectrum of nature’s wonder reflected back in your eyes. “But it changed when I met you. You’re right that we’re not really living, but you gave me a second chance at life, so I’ll be loyal to you. I’ll be by your side no matter what. Until I theoretically die, I choose to ‘live this life’ with you, Sukuna. I’ll always be here.”
Sukuna blinked back wordlessly, the grip on his sword faltering. He was at a loss of words, unable to process the meaning behind your words.
Understanding him better than anyone, sometimes even better than himself, you chuckled as you stood up, patting his shoulder in the process. “No need to say anything else, King. Those are just my thoughts. But I hope that if I don’t get to be with you in this life anymore, then let’s meet in the next.”
Tumblr media
You sounded so sure back then that Sukuna had unknowingly kept your words in his heart as a vow, blindly searching for your soul – anything to have you back by his side again – because there were still some things he needed to say, some things he had to do, and all he ever wanted was to tell you that he understood your words now.
He too, found the meaning of life with you, although he realized it too late, and the realization drowned him when you were no longer there for him.
But he’ll find you – he’ll always find you.
After all, was it not your promise? Was it not your wish to meet him in the next life? When the war is over and the skies have cleared, when he could hear the steady stream of the river and the sounds of birds chirping along with your golden laughter that brightened up the darkness of his soul and his temple – would you still be able to comfort him once he’d come home from war?

"everything I don't like in Elden Ring must be because of grrm!" have we played the same video games?
remember that game about how some people committed a genocide and defiled an infant's corpse and now everyone who goes into the same line of work as these people is cursed to go to hell and die repeatedly forever bc the infant was a god? or how we inadvertently cause the death of two young girls in that same game?
Remember how we see the literal end of the world and we kill the last person alive, and we come across countless corpses and hints that there were once people here, this was once something not good but beautiful, and now it is all gone to ruin, and this could be you too, someday.
Remember how depending on how you do Maiden Astraea's fight, she ends it by killing herself?
There's a lot more (ex. just how many dead babies are in these games?) but my point is these games have always been quite dark, you've just woobified them and your faves. GRRM isn't responsible for Elden Ring's grimdarkness.

so i've read a few sambucky fics and quite a few of them have bucky being an old man who doesn't understand technology and i'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, it's amusing as hell. but the boy spent most of his lucid years post hydra in wakanda. he'd be used to all the super high-tech shit, no? if anything, he'd be frustrated at the comparatively primitive shit he has in new york.
"what do you mean i can't facetime sam using a holographic display projected from my bracelet?"

okay here's what ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATES me though.
wanda was never looking for a fight. she was never hostile. she marched in and politely asked for what's rightfully hers. we see how she could've stormed in and just take what she wanted easy as fuck. but she waited until she was allowed in.
and then she left. she didn't hurt anyone. she didn't pick a fight. they showed her the dismembered and defiled corpse of her love, her soulmate, like he's nothing but computer parts, like an object, and she still left, quietly and peacefully.
AND HAYWARD STILL TRIED TO FRAME HER AS A VILLIAN.
I'm gonna fight that white boy with my bare hands i swear to god

Warnings again: Graphic descriptions of murder, Dubcon, Incest, Pre-meditated murder, Gore
Inspired by: Halloween, Micheal Myers and this post -> Here (The little brother bit of it) 
This story can be read either entirely or you can skip, the middle background, you won’t really be missing the juicy bits since it just describes the early stages of his...infatuation 
7k
Enjoy!
Silence reigned over the living room save for the desperate wheezes of the dual toned man’s hair. The air hissed as it slipped into his greedy mouth, the heavy sound of his pants were followed by the almost painful expansion of his lungs. He wiped a gloved hand over his brow collecting the droplets that had accumulated throughout the ordeal. 
His stormy eyes looked down at his hand, he saw his soiled reflection on the metallic steel. His pupils danced in dilation, his nostrils still flared. His blood was hot, scorching his veins as with every pound of  his heart. He let the blade fall to the stained rug, fingers trembling with nerves? Adrenalin? Excitement? 
It started with the curving of his lips, then a breathless chuckle until he was keeling over with laughter, tears in his eyes as his foot connected with the soft tissue of the body. He repeated the action kicking the belly of his victim, further soiling his shoes. The beige rug was stained a nauseating maroon, said color also decorated the sofa and he could feel the once warm liquid cool on his face. 
A mess of blood and viscera was left in the place where the man had once cowered. He leered over the man’s body, a grin stretching his pale pink lips. His tongue swept over his lips as he leaned down to the man’s ear to whisper secretively. 
“I’ve been wanting to do this to you the moment I set my eyes on you.” He chirped. “You’ve never deserved her” his fingers slid over the shredded skin of the man’s face as he plucked the crimson stained mask off his face. He stood up and slid the bloodied scream mask over his face, his menacing form illuminated by the colorful strobe lights that still circled the room. He turned towards the staircase of the house, It was time to pay you a visit and give you the good news. 
His heavy footfalls creaked the stairs as he made his way up closer to you, his stomach fluttered with emotion and his elation twitched beneath his trousers. ‘Finally’ He thought as the door to your room whined open. ‘Finally’
.
.
.
Now you may be wondering how it all came to this. How such an unassuming man could take someone’s life in such a cruel and violent way. To explain that, we need to go back, back in time to the exact moment in which warmth seeped into the man’s heart. The moment in which he decided that he’d do absolutely anything for his older sister.. And that happened when he was a boy and it was all because of the touch of a hand… 
(Backstory is optional, you can easily skip ahead towards the morning of the event)
There was a clear disinterest in the young child’s eyes as his eyes observed the glossy casket. He could hear the whispers of the surrounding guests. The susurrations of ‘what’s going to happen to the children’ ‘The young one doesn’t seem to care about what happened.’ ‘Shush it’s not like he understands what’s going on’ There were more whispers being dropped than there were tears but Shouto disagreed, he understood very well. He just couldn’t find it in himself to care. 
His eldest sister Fuyumi bawled enough for the rest of the Todoroki siblings. Call him cynical but Shouto didn’t understand why he should cry, why he didn’t give a rats ass that the old man had kicked the can. He supposed he should care about the casket next to his father’s embalmed corpse but he wasn’t exactly close to his snowy haired brother.  In simple terms he wasn’t moved by the theatrics and wanted nothing more than to go home. A home without Enji Todoroki, he wondered what life would be like now that his father was dead. Easier? He pondered on all the freedom he’d finally have…..
Shouto truly didn’t understand… He loathed that vile man and yet his eyes were wet with tears, his small nose stuffing as he sniffled. He had balled his small fists, clutching the dark cloth of his dress shorts, his eldest sister Fuyumi had her face buried in her hands, her shoulders shaking. She couldn’t console herself, not to mention her yonder siblings. It was at that moment that he realized how alone he was, Fuyumi seemed leagues away, so out of reach. 
His older brother was furthest away the veil of death separating whatever comfort he may have received from the teen. A cold chill filled his small frame until something came and banished it. Your fingers interlocked with his as you drew him close, he glued himself to the warmth you provided, his body shaking as you hugged him whispering consolations. 
“I-It’s going to be okay Sho.” You sniffled. “W-we still have each other.”
Shouto clung to you ever since, you were two years his senior, his beloved older sister who was always there for him. Sure he had Fuyumi but she wasn’t you, she was someone he had a familial tie to, someone who provided for the both of you, to him Fuyumi was just the guardian. She wasn’t special to him like you were, there wasn’t that connection, there wasn’t that bond. And sadly it never developed as Fuyumi had to leave the both of you for  long lengths of time.
You however adored Fuyumi, you were grateful for her sacrifice of becoming something
akin to a parent towards you and Shouto. In your younger years you scurried about to help her with whatever you could and more often than naught it was watching Shouto while she worked. Your little brother was an oddball, he had a habit of following you around and refused to make friends so as not to leave you. Despite countless arguments of it not being an issue he held fast and you relented and allowed him to shadow you freely. 
In all honesty the signs were all there, the youngest Todoroki would become hysterical when he didn’t know of your whereabouts, he was frustratingly clingy and hostile towards all of your friends. You had lost many friends due to your younger brother’s jaws of doom. No one wanted to play with you when your brother laid in wait like a piranha. This led to further skirmishes but Fuyumi wasn’t adept at dealing with such issues and reassured you that it was just a phase.  So you sucked it up, you didn’t want to worry Fuyumi and add to her stress. ‘It’s probably not easy for her to raise us, especially since she’s younger herself.’ 
And so life went on, your brother’s clinginess never waned but it was diminished when he finally entered highschool. Regardless of him wanting it or not people began to gravitate towards him. To him it was the most annoying thing in the universe. He hated playing nice with his schoolmate, what was even the point? He didn’t care for them, he didn’t love them, they served no purpose and only helped in separating him from you. But he played nice. He played nice for your sake, he was your dear sweet little brother after all and he wouldn’t allow those nuisances to taint your vision of him. 
Everything was going swell, Fuyumi was prosering and getting more and more busy. To his delight she’d leave for days on end on business trips as well. His days would start with him greeting you in the morning and you blessing his cheek with an innocent ‘good morning’ kiss. You’d walk to school, sometimes you’d blow off your friends to eat lunch with him, it always made him feel special, and then you’d walk home. He always loved it when Fuyumi was gone and the both of you were alone. It was almost like the two of you were husband and wife. The thought never failed at leaving him breathless. 
It wasn’t weird. He had rationalized that it was only natural to marry the one you loved. Besides you had agreed to it when you were younger. However, not everyone was accepting of the loving relationship he had with you.

“Ew you call your little brother baby?” He had overheard the conversation on his way to your class. 
“So? He’s my baby brother so I call him baby, it’s not a big deal.” You shrugged. 
“It is kinda icky (Name).” The voice that had said it was deep and masculine and he didn’t like how his words made you pause. You should have fought against it, you should have told them to fuck off. 
“O-oh…” You mumbled. “I g-guess he is a bit grown.” He had made his presence known after that, his haughty eyes lacerating your classmate. The smug teen had an arm looped around your shoulder and from the look on your face you weren’t opposed to it. 
That was a turning point in your relationship. To his dismay you began to date that...guy. That fucker drove a wedge between you. You changed because of him, and he hated it. He despised it so so very much. The day he realized that your boyfriend had to be done away with was when he came home one afternoon, you had insisted he join an extracurricular activity and that had put an end to walking home with you. And so when he came home and he heard you, he ran to his room and peeled back the movie poster in his room, his blue eye widening in horror as that disgusting, vile, grotesque creature defiled you. 
The tree at the edge of the property took the brunt of his emotions that day. His fists were split as he abused the bark of the tree, his teeth grinded viciously. All of his fantasies of being your first were dashed, all those nights researching, all those nights observing your body from his peephole, in order to know what you liked “Wasted!” When he walked back in you were adjusting your clothes in the kitchen making the bastard a sandwich. 
“S-shouto!” You yelped. You no longer called him baby. You were startled until you took notice of his bruised knuckles. “Are you okay!?” You fretted, reaching out towards him. He flinched away from you, hurt. 
“Bah leave the kid alone and stop coddling him, it’s just a flesh wound.” The thing scoffed. 
“But it could get infected.” You mumbled. 
“Ughh shut up already, where’s my food?” He asked you… Yes, Shouto despised that man. In his mind he had gouged out his perverse eyes and peeled back his grimey skin. You had regressed into yourself ever since you had gotten together with that guy. He dedicated your every move, and to add fire to the ever growing flames he had the audacity to put his hands on you. 
“Leave him.” He hissed one day. 
“I...I can’t Sho..I love him.” Love? Love he had scoffed. That wasn’t love, god he’d show you what love actually was if you would only leave that man. ‘If only he just died.’ This thought gnawed at the back of his mind as years passed and you remained in such a toxic relationship. By now your...he refused to call him your lover, by now your abuser had died in his mind over a billion times.

Prior to the murder…   
(Backstory skippers, it begins here) 
It was one of those rare days when that nasty shadow wasn’t looming over you, the both of you were sipping coffee as Fuyumi explained that she would be going abroad. It wasn’t anything new as work for her got busiest during the fall. 
“H-He asked me to move out with him.” You smiled. 
“Absolutely not.” He scoffed.  
“I have to agree with our little brother on this one (Name).” You had blown up on them, screaming about them not understanding, until you were left sobbing in your chair. 
“H-He can change… I know he can.” Needless to say, he didn’t. As soon as he heard that Fuyumi was half-way across the globe he pressured you into throwing a party. Luckily for you Shouto didn’t have any classes to attend and was willing to help you arrange the hastily put together party. 
“I still can’t believe you're with him.” He mumbled as he arranged the red solo cups on the table. 
“Trust me Sho I’ve tried to end it but…” You looked away from the youngest Todoroki until you felt his hand slide into yours. 
“Remember, I’ve always got your back if you need me to fuck him up for him to leave you alone I’ll do it.” He smiled, his heart skipped when your arms wrapped around his neck. ‘Soon’ he thought, his arms tightening around your frame. 
“I really don’t deserve you Shouto thank you.” You sniffled. 
“It’s-
“The fuck are you two doing?” ‘Great’ Shouto rolled his eyes, pressing his lean body closer to yours. ‘It’s here’ “You sure your not tryna fuck your brother you little slut.” 
“Of course not.” You mumbled, your arms tightening around your younger brother’s frame, he felt your body tremble, fear and anger coursing through your veins. Ever so slowly you stepped out of the protective embrace of your brother. You didn’t notice how Shouto clenched his jaw when that man’s hand came down on your ass. You shifted away from him but his hand caught you by the crook of your elbow. “What? No kiss? Don’t tell me you're still mad about me cheating on you.” He scoffed. 
You looked away, a scowl on your lips. “C’mon babe how ‘bout I make it up to you?” He grinned. You weren’t interested instead you turned towards your brother. 
“Are you inviting anyone?” You asked. You caught yourself staring at your younger brother who now towered over you, his dark eyes narrowed at your boyfriend, strong arms crossed against his beefy chest. You made out the way his sharp jaw clenched and it had just struck you ‘He’s gotten so handsome.’ You looked away when you noticed how his eyes softened when he turned towards you. 
“Didya buy the booze I asked for?” The other man cut in. You nodded, grateful that Shouto had ran out and bought it for you while you hid all the valuables in the house. He dropped onto the couch unceremoniously and began to message his friends. 
“So are you?” You asked once more as the both of you continued to put certain breakable items away. 
“Maybe.” He shrugged, he wasn’t particularly interested in inviting the people who called him their friend. 
“You should invite that one girl that used to go to highschool with you.” You hummed. “I’m pretty sure she had a crush on you~”
“She did.” He sighed. “I just wasn’t interested, besides inviting her would only make things....awkward.”
“Your so picky Sho, most sophomores in college are out there partying, living life and ‘fucking bitches’” You teased. 
“Well I’m not like most men my age.”  The drop of his voice startled you, the hair on your arms raising at the slight raspy tone. You excused yourself to change. This wasn’t the first time Shouto’s acted rather...suspicious around you. In his twenty years of life he had always shown particular favor towards you sometimes with an intensity that sort of scared you. It was like he..had feelings for you. 
‘Ridiculous’ You chimed as you stripped out of your clothes. You had always reminded yourself that the thought was preposterous. ‘He’s still waiting for the right one, that’s why he’s never shown any interest in anyone.’ A small voice at the back of your head whispered a small doubt ‘except for me’. “Ludacris.” You huffed as you picked out what to wear and readied yourself, you chose a raunchy outfit, short sheer fabrics that tightened around your curves, heels that flattered the slopes of your calves and a pair of fluffy cat ears. Mittens were placed over your hands as you fastened the faux tail onto your waist. 
You painted whiskers on your cheeks, your lips a deep shade of ruby. You looked stunning and you were planning on using your appearance to get back at your loser boyfriend. A smirk fitted your face ‘That assholes’ going to regret cheating on me’ 
.
.
.
Shouto shuffled over to a corner as strangers began to arrive at the family home. He noticed a couple of people from his major slither in but made no move to greet them. After all there was no need. The music was loud in his ears and the stench of sweat hung in the air like an off brand diffuser. It wasn’t long before the house became a clutter of bodies, they donned glitter and masks as they grinded against each other. 
Plumes of smoke blurred the ceiling as people gathered around a bong one of his ‘friends’ had brought in. The breath of the people who came up to flirt with him was thick with the scent of booze. His vacant eyes scanned the crowd, various people dressed as sexy nurses, nuns, devils etc. There were some good ones, special effects decorated a realistic zombie, but not even the walking dead cosplayer could salvage the party. To him it was a miserable event, a violation of his and your sanctuary. All he could think of was how he wished he could recreate the sense from the collector 2. It put a smile on his face. Apparently his smile attracted his friends. 
“Come on Todoroki!” Midoriya chimed holding up a cup towards him. “Have a drink”  “Yeah loosen up and have some fun~” Ochako grinned. “Also~ Look who's here.” She 
elbowed him in the gut, cocking her head towards a pretty long haired brunette dressed as a witch. He rolled his eyes, how many times did he have to tell these annoying people that he wasn’t interested in anyone. 
“Look I know your a bit shy but she still likes you. Maybe you can go over there, chat her up a bit and who knows you might even get laid.” He was not amused. ‘There’s only one person I want to-’ He looked past the girl and his jaw dropped. He could feel his face warm up, his breath complete and utterly stolen. 
“Wow.” He breathed. His friends assumed he spoke of the Yaoyorozu and nudged him over towards that general direction. He walked slowly towards you, you looked a sight. The neon lights made your skin glow, your liner giving your eyes a more cattish look that to him made you look downright sexy. Your exposed flesh teased his eyes and your lips. God he wished he could steal them. 
His throat bobbed as he saw you drink from a plastic cup, your tongue running across your lower lip seductively. His heart thumped loudly in his chest, blood rushing south. His mouth watered and before he knew it someone obstructed his view of you. 
“S-Shouto.” He frowned. “I noticed that you were looking at-
“I’m sorry but can you move out of my way?” He cut her off and made to walk away to pursue you. He was ready to risk it all, he was tired of waiting for you to notice him. Tired of being brushed aside and he was sick of watching someone as ethereal as you be treated like trash. Maybe now was his chance. Your ‘feelings’ for your boyfriend were waning and now was the perfect moment to sweep you off your feet to show you how he was the best choice for you. 
Before he could walk away he felt the young woman grab his wrist. 
“W-wait d-don’t you like me?” She asked. He scoffed, his eyes zoning in on you. He was trying not to let you out of his sight when he saw it. He grit his teeth in anger as you flirted with his senor. Mirio just smiled politely complimenting you as you leaned against him. Yaoyorozu looked at him watching as his grip on his cup tightened and how his eyes narrowed down at the tall blond. She finally understood. She recoiled away from him, drawing her hand back as if she had been burned. 
Her lips curled in disgust, her eyes cringing in disbelief. She brought her hand up to her mouth. “I-I can’t believe it.” She whispered. “The rumors are actually true..” 
“What?” He asked, his sharp gaze slicing through her. She backed up tossing her drink on his face. 
“Get away from me you sick pervert.” she hissed. 
“Hey!” You shouted, you marched up to the girl who tossed the beer into your brother’s face. You quickly noticed who she was and for the wrong reasons you understood why Shouto didn’t like her. From where you were standing you saw a rich, beautiful girl who was angry at your younger brother’s rejection. She had to go. “If your going to harass my baby you can just fucking leave.” You hissed. 
“I’ll leave gladly.” She hissed. “You too fucking disgust me.” 
“Sho are you okay?” You asked, your hand slipping into his. He looked down at it in disbelief, his heart swelled ‘She called me baby again. She’s here in front of everyone holding my hand.’ He couldn’t stop the furious flush from claiming his cheeks. 
“Shouto?”
“I-I’m fine.” He smiled. It was a warm smile, something that unsettled his approaching friends. 
“Good.” You beamed. “You should go change and actually put on a costume.”
He nodded mutely and walked past Midoriya and Uraraka, a blissful smile on his lips as he went up to change. He wondered if you’d like his vampire costume..
“Do you think..”
“Ha, no way it’s not possible…” 
.
.
.
He checked his reflection a couple of times before heading downstairs, he wondered if you’d like the way he parted his hair. He’s heard people say it was sexy, he wondered if you thought he was sexually attractive. As soon as he reached the bottom step he frowned, your blubbering idiot of a boyfriend was piss poor drunk. And by the way he set his gaze on him Shouto knew he was going to have to exhibit an almost superhero level of self-restraint. 
“Oi sissy boy, why you ain’t ever got a woman?” He slurred. “You gay or something?” 
“Okay man I think you’ve had too many.” his friend waved him off trying to get him to leave. 
“No I’m not dun speaking.” He stumbled as he swiveled over to look up at Shouto. “Listen here punk.” His rancid breath fanned across Todoroki’s face, and he couldn’t help but cringe his lips curling in disgust. 
“Ya gotta problem wit meh? Always glaring at me an shit. Alway following my bitch around, you like her or sum? Your dick get hard for your sister?” He had started a commotion, a crowd soon gathering. Shouto had taken your panicked expression in and for your sake, he walked away. “That’s rite! Walk away you prissy bitch.” 
When he came back the party was over and you were left cleaning up the mess. The lights were still swirling around the room and he could make out the lump of the man laying on the couch passed out. Your tired eyes were red rimmed as you smiled at him. “Hey Sho.” 
It was when he saw the swelling in your left eye that he began to seethe. “He fucking hit you again.” He snarled, his fists balled up in fury. 
“H-He said he was sorry…” You sniffed weakly, you were on your last legs. Tired of defending him yet he knew if the man brought you flowers and took you out for a night in the town you’d crawl back having forgiven him. He couldn’t have that, he wouldn’t. “I-It’s alright Shouto i-it doesn’t even hurt anymore.” You sighed as his thumb caressed your cheek his fingers lightly bruising against the inflamed area. You winced and it was only when you met his teary gaze that you began to cry. You cried in his arms, you cried in the arms of the only man who loved you, and the only man who would protect you. He vowed to do justice by you, you would just have to bear it for a while longer. 
He kept his anger under wraps as he helped you clean, his grip on the broom was tight as he watched you go upstairs. It was then that his blood began to boil. But he would have to be patient, he fished out his phone waiting for you to be done showering. The texts he read over left him tugging at the roots of his hair. You hadn’t explained everything. Apparently he had hit you during the party in front of everyone then proceeded to throw everyone out. There were even videos!
White hot anger clouded his eyes, the snowy color was all that he could see as he walked into the kitchen. His heart beat in his ears and his blood was replaced by lava. He panted like something rabid, his vision fading and all of his previous fantasies coming to rest in the front of his mind. Soon his fingers wrapped around the cool metal of a kitchen knife. 
He caught a glimpse of his expression on the metallic surface, red rimmed his eyes' malicious intent curving up his lips. His tongue ran across his bottom lip as he walked towards the living room. His footsteps were slow as he wanted to savor the moment, breath every detail in. Once he reached the man he tapped the knife against his scruffy cheek. 
“You know.” He whispered. “I’ve been wanting to kill you for so so long.” 
He climbed over the man, his legs straddling his form. “You remind me of my father.” He smiled. “And I loathed him~ I didn’t mean to get Natsuo killed when I cut the breaks but” He paused to shrug. “It wasn’t a big deal. I got two for the price of one.” He chuckled, a frown soon slipped onto his visage. He wanted the man to be conscious for this. With out warning he backhanded the man without an ounce of self-restraint. 
“Gah!” The guy panicked. His eyes wide and shifting as he tried to make sense of the situation, all he could feel was the booming pain on his cheek, a coppery liquid pooling in his mouth. “S-Shouto!?” He gasped confused. There was a strange smile on the young man’s face that he’d never seen, it was frightening and he struggled to buck the stronger man off him. “G-Get off me!”
“No.” He wheezed. “It’s funny, isn’t it! The feeling you feel right now? I’m pretty sure my big sister felt it all the time, unbridled fear.” He teased revealing the clean metal of the knife. 
“T-This isn’t funny.” He stuttered. 
“I know.” Shouto seethed. “It’s never been funny, the way you treat the love of my life, I never found that shit amusing.” 
“Y-Your crazy!” He gasped, hyperventilating at the crushing weight and the palpable fear. “I-I’ll scream.” He warned. 
“Oh” He nodded. “I’m counting on it.” He leaned closer to the man’s ear. “You see we have no close neighbors and well (Name)’s room is soundproof. You see.. I just couldn’t stand the sound of you touching her.”
“(Name)!” He yelled, he was met with an explosive pain, his jaw crunching under the force of the blow, teeth loosening, some even dislodging and sliding down his bloodied throat. 
“You know how disgusting it was to watch you touch her? Watch you soil her perfect body.” He hissed, his fist colliding with his face repeatedly, until he stopped suddenly. “But that’s okay.” He laughed caressing the soiled face of the deadman. 
The man whimpered in pain, garbled noises bubbling from his busted lips. Crimson bubbles popped as he tried to beg for the Todoroki to spare him. “Shh shush I haven’t told you why it’s okay. It’s okay because I plan to erase all of that, all those nasty hurtful touches, they’ll be replaced by my loving hands, my lips and my dick. It’ll be fantastic and the best part is that little ol’ you won’t be a part of it.” THe tip of the knife booped his nose and the man scrambled to get up when he felt Shouto’s weight leave him. 
Shouto didn’t know what to name the feeling coursing through his veins. He was ecstatic, he was angry and the thoughts of the future had him giddy. Blood had rushed south and he felt drunkenly dizzy. ‘Woah let’s not get carried away’ he tried to rationalize ‘We still have to deal with him.’ The man held his dislocated jaw and tried to make a run for it. But in his still drunk and confused state all he could manage was a stumble. 
It was then that Shouto came down upon him, he plunged the knife into the soft flesh of the guy’s belly. His wide eyes gazed into Shouto’s blank excited ones and he couldn’t even hold the wound as he was repeatedly stabbed. His thin flesh squelched with each plunge, his life seeping and splattering around his perimeter. Shouto didn’t relent not even as his body slumped to the ground. Instead he followed him down, he snarled and growled as he attacked the man. 
He thought of all he had put you through, how he made you shrivel and curl into yourself like a cooked shrimp of all of the times he talked him down and of the distance he had forced between you. He gasped and panted as he straddled the limp body of another nuisance he had gotten rid of. After a while he pulled back and stood. 
              Silence reigned over the living room save for the desperate wheezes of the dual toned man’s hair. The air hissed as it slipped into his greedy mouth, the heavy sound of his pants were followed by the almost painful expansion of his lungs. He wiped a gloved hand over his brow collecting the droplets that had accumulated throughout the ordeal. 
His stormy eyes looked down at his hand, he saw his soiled reflection on the metallic steel. His pupils danced in dilation, his nostrils still flared. His blood was hot, scorching his veins as with every pound of  his heart. He let the blade fall to the stained rug, fingers trembling with nerves? Adrenalin? Excitement? 
It started with the curving of his lips, then a breathless chuckle until he was keeling over with laughter, tears in his eyes as his foot connected with the soft tissue of the body. He repeated the action kicking the belly of his victim, further soiling his shoes. The beige rug was stained a nauseating maroon, said color also decorated the sofa and he could feel the once warm liquid cool on his face. 
A mess of blood and viscera was left in the place where the man had once cowered. He leered over the man’s body, a grin stretching his pale pink lips. His tongue swept over his lips as he leaned down to the man’s ear to whisper secretively. 
“I’ve been wanting to do this to you the moment I set my eyes on you.” He chirped. “You’ve never deserved her” his fingers slid over the shredded skin of the man’s face as he plucked the crimson stained mask off his face. He stood up and slid the bloodied scream mask over his face, his menacing form illuminated by the colorful strobe lights that still circled the room. He turned towards the staircase of the house, It was time to pay you a visit and give you the good news. 
His heavy footfalls creaked the stairs as he made his way up closer to you, his stomach fluttered with emotion and his elation twitched beneath his trousers. ‘Finally’ He thought as the door to your room whined open. ‘Finally’
There you laid, body rising and falling in slumber, completely unperturbed by what had happened just beneath your room. You were beautiful. You had changed into more comfortable clothes for sleep and he quietly peeled back your covers to observe. His fingers stained the duvet as he bunched it up at the end of the bed. He pulled off his gloves and let his fingertips ghost over your legs. You shivered cutely at the light touch. 
He smiled beneath his bloodied mask, he figured he should trick you for a bit before he revealed the news. He climbed atop the bed, the mattress dipping underneath his weight. His fingers ghosted up your legs, cold digits reaching the crotch of your pants. He pressed his palm against the soft indent of flesh, his heart sped up at the warmth emanating from your most intimate place. He’d only ever dreamed of this. 
“Hmm” You sighed in your sleep, your eyes fluttering open when you felt the cold fingers. You sat up confused. You called the name of your lover and Shouto chuckled darkly. You huffed in annoyance when he didn’t answer. “I thought I said I didn’t want to see you anymore.” You frowned. “Hello, you listening? Ugh are you still drunk.” 
You flinched when he raised his hand and your brother felt his heart break at the reaction. ‘Don’t worry from now on I won’t let anyone else lay their hands on you.’ His hand slid up to your face and he cupped your cheek gently, pressing his masked forehead against yours. You were thoroughly confused. 
You were used to your boyfriend coming into your room for makeup sex but he was never this gentle with you. The thought of him meaning he was really sorry crossed your mind but, the fingers caressing your cheek didn’t feel like your boyfriends’ but it did feel familiar and it was comforting. It wasn’t long before he began to tug your clothes off your body, his hands traced your form appreciatively and you sighed blissfully at the feeling. 
“H-Hey at least take off your mask.” His silence was strange but you welcomed it. His hands came over your eyes, gently closing them. You caught on and kept them closed as you heard the rustle of clothes. It was then that you felt the press of smooth lips against your own. His fingers traced every inch of your body caressing the smooth flesh as his lips pressed soft kisses on your lips. Shouto swore there would never be anything better than your plush lips pressing against his own. 
Well that was his thought, until his fingers pressed against your slick lower lips. He buried his face in your neck, face flushed as you curled your arms around his neck. The soft squish of your wet lips had him throbbing and he let his fingers pet your clit as he worshiped the delicious length of your neck. You were on cloud nine as he kneaded and massaged your doughy flesh. His lips suckled on your breasts, tongue lavishing the hardened buds in attention as his fingers continued to swirl and tap against your swollen pearl. 
“Nngh” You gasped when you felt his fingers slip inside of you, your fingers coming up to fist his soft his, your other hand clawing at his broad shoulders. It was the feel of these textures that spurred you to open your eyes. “S-Shouto!” You moaned. 
His blue grey eyes slinked up to meet your gaze, his lidded expression filling your cheeks with warmth. Your jaw unhinged in another gasp as his thick fingers continued to slide inside your warm fleshy walls. Your mouth parted in protest “W-What are y-y-” Soft lips caught your own and your eyes enlarged as you felt your younger brother's tongue slide past your lips. The warm wet muscles gliding over your own. 
His other hand palmed your breast fingers squeezing the supple flesh that was still covered in a thin layer of his saliva. You pressed your hands to his chest. ‘T-This is wrong! You thought as his tongue rolled in between your teeth. When he pulled away there was a string of saliva that broke off. 
“I love you.” He breathed, placing his lips where he knew they belonged. 
“Ah~” You didn’t mean to let the sound slip, but his fingers had curved inside of you and with every thrust he put pressure against your g-spot. Your hand went to his wrist in order to halt his movement. 
“S-Shouto s-stop this is wrong, y-your my-
“Little brother.” He finished his mouth sucking on your neck. “I don’t care about that, in my opinion it just means we’re more connected.” His smile shocked you but what you felt against your thigh shocked you even more. 
“I-”
“Shh there’s no one to stop us.” He whispered. “No one to stop me from showing you how you should be loved.”
Your mouth opened and closed as you struggled to string together something coherent. Your protests resumed when he slid his other hand down your body, he leaned up allowing you to see the light sheen of sweat that highlighted the strong muscles of his body. And your eyes looked down his cut abdomen towards the bi-colored trail of hair leading down towards his weeping cock. His eyes met your and your face caught fire. You were about to draw into yourself and curl your body away from his lustful gaze when his large palms slid underneath your thighs. 
Your back hit the bed as he leaned his face closer to your cunt. You mind was still reeling, ‘G-get a grip (Name)! Your baby brother’s face is legit inches from your puss-
“Oh fuck.” You gasped as his hot tongue slid up the length of your slit. His tongue traced your lips, tongue curving into the folds of your labia before sliding back up towards your needy clit. When his tongue began to flick against the sensitive nerves you were lost. You arched your back pressing your pussy closer to his face practically begging him to suck you dry. 
He obliged, his mouth closing around your clit, fingers finding home base deep within your deliciously warm walls. You pulsed and trobbed around his finger and he swore he was dreaming. You tasted better than he imagined, you sounded better in person than from behind a wall. And god you just looked so damn amazing.  
“S-Shouto!” You cried. He moaned into you. Fuck yes that was all he ever wanted, all he needed, he need you to say it again to call his name out so desperately. He was grinding against the mattress as he let your warmth suffocate him. He held you close as you began to tremble your legs clamping over his head as you came around his tongue. 
“Hah~” He pulled back, his lips sticky with your slick, he wasted no time in capturing your lips once more. “Big sis I love you so much.” He gasped. “I -I want to show you how much.” 
“B-baby this is wrong.” Your protest was weak, no one had ever touched you like Shouto, no one had loved you as unconditionally as him, but this was morally wrong. 
“Don’t you love me?” He asked. 
“Of course I love you.” You replied. 
“Then there’s no problem.” He smiled. He settled in between your thighs, the head of his cock pressing against your pussy. He could seriously cum right there and then by just the incredible sight. And when he pushed into your hole he melted. He felt even more complete with every inch he fed into you. “I’m inside of you (Name).” His grin was practically euphoric and you fluttered around his impressive size. 
Then he began to move. He praised the feel of you, his length sliding in and out, slow and deep. That night Shouto made due on his promise to love you, and as you drifted off to sleep he replayed the moment, relishing in how you claimed to love him. 
.
.
.
When you awoke the next morning your mind slapped you with what had occurred last night. The horrors of you claiming to love your little brother cock filled you with a crippling sense of shame. You hadn’t woke to him next to you but after dressing you went to find him. You had to let him know that that couldn’t happen again. 
You hugged yourself as you walked down the stairs, from your spot you could see Shouto in the kitchen, on the table were two bowls and a box of your favorite cereal. ‘It’s now or-. The smell hit you first, a strong nauseating smell that you were only used to smelling during your heavier flows. Your blood drain and in its place your heart pumped liquid nitrogen. You reeled back as you caught sight of the body in front of you, you stumbled over your feet, your ass meeting the floor. Tears dripped down your chin as you tried to make heads or tails of what you saw. 
“What are you doing on the floor?” You heard your brother ask. He then noticed what you were looking at. “Oh.. Oh! I forgot to tell you the good news yesterday since we were so caught up.” He blushed. 
“G-good news..”
“Yeah, good news, that’s no longer in the picture.” He beamed. “Now come on you must be hungry~”

Final fantasy 7 prompts #69
1. CC Sephiroths wing sprouts earlier than canon and right in front of his friends.
The silverette screams internally as his friends try to calm him down, all the while trying not to freak out themselves
2. FF7: PHANTOM OF THE OPERA AU
3. Vincent is being followed around by a small flock of orphans dressed up like him. He has to fight to keep the smile off his face.
4. Cloud finds Sephiroths baby pictures.
5. Time traveler Cloud breaks a Time materia using it on Genesis and accidentally turns the Lord of LOVELESS into a child. He promptly bails, leaving the redheads small squad of 2nds to deal with the fallout.
After Genesis calms down, he starts to realize he's being treated very differently and he wonders how much havoc he can get away with.
6. Gaia decides enough is enough and starts fighting fire with fire. She went back to Crisis Core era and began reanimated the corpses of Shinras SOLDIERS and using them to destroy Shinra and all that would try to harm her.
Aka its zombie time
7. Yuffie managed to teach Sephiroth some modern slang. Too bad she lied about what they meant.
(Inspired by that one video of Sephiroth calling Cloud a twink.)
8. No one really knows why, but professor Hojo seems to keep reviving and popping into existence on Gaia, usually near Vincent.
Vincent keeps killing him over and over and its oddly therapeutic. The red cloaked figure actually felt bad for the madman the one time he spawned near Cloud. He didn't even know Cloud was capable of such things. And Vincent though he had issues.
9. Genesis bursts into the room yelling "He has her!"
Angeal asks who, prompting the redhead to turn to him, "Strife, he has the goddess!"
10. Extra dimensional Cloud saving/ destroying the world for a horrified sane Sephiroth.
Sephiroth: You need to stop!
Cloud: ...stop? Stop? I'm doing this for you!
11. Cloud, Zack, and Tifa are all time travelers. The problem is that they all think they went back alone. They keep trying to fix things only to discover things have already been done/ have been sabotaged or are just missing entirely. They each become more and more frustrated/ confused. It doesn't help that Cloud has scared the wits out of Tifa and Zack by causing his past self to go MIA
12. Sephiroth keeps stalking Cloud and Aerith convinces the blond to give his stalker a bouquet of red roses.
Sephiroth just holds the flowers staring at them.
Cloud thinks he might have broken him.
13. Genesis took Cadet Cloud under his wing, but no one, not even the Crimson Commander himself could have anticipated how much of a bad influence Genesis could be.
14. Au where Sephiroth is an eldrich alien like Jenova. After two thousand years had passed with no word from his mother, he crash landed on Gaia to see if she was actually dead. Apon finding that she had been killed and her body defiled, he decided he would kill this wretched little planet and all its inhabitants. All his plans came to a screeching halt however, when he caught sight of a pretty little blond with what looked like the most ridiculous helmet the silverette had ever seen sitting in his lap. Yes, he thought, This one must be my life mate.
He then preceeded to try to court the very confused blond. Cloud, however was freaking out. He hadn't been a full fledged Trooper for more then two weeks before a strange man with godlike strength and powers decided to flirt with him like there was no tomorrow. It was times like these he was convinced one of his ancestors had angered Loki.
15. Crack fic that follows the lives of regular Shinra employees while the world is saved in the background
Bonus: "Clearly, the larger bird is from a post apocalyptic future and has returned to the past to right the wrongs wrought by Shinra!"
Angeal was about to admonished the redhead, after all that was ridiculous. Genesis had definitely been reading too many science fiction novels again. He was cut off by the blond making a surprised noise, followed by, "How did you know that?!"
The man may have escaped a few minutes after the exchange, but Genesis was still insufferably smug the rest of the week. Not that it mattered much. He had bigger fish to fry. How in the nine hells do you strategize against someone who has knowledge of the future?

JJK manga spoilers at the undercut! long tanget at the undercut!
(Continued for the storytelling!) Okay so 👀 in a very tragic turn of events where Gojo tries to Yuta-style his way out of the Prison Realm, but it goes oopsies and he's actually 'dead' dead and MC stares in disbelief at what she's seeing because this can NOT be real, oh but I'm sorry it is. And this is the one thing, the image of his best friend lying dead in front of him, that gives Geto much longer control over his body and he crawls over to Gojo and his hands are shaking.
(Part 2) He's clawing at himself to wake up from this nightmare to no avail. Nothing will change what's happened and MC flips, kicks him in the face, grabs him by his clothes and slams him onto the nearest surface yelling about how "is this what it takes for you to finally snap out of it?!" why couldn't he have done it sooner??! MC is filled with rage. That's not Geto. She knows it's not Geto, but she's just so angry from her warped sorrow and tells him that even though he changed so much.
(Part 3) and did all those things as a Curse User, she still grieved for him. She missed him so freaking much, dreaming of what could be with all of them together. She hated the fact he had to die because of those actions, and now??? What good is snapping out of it now when she knows she'll have to kill him again because the real Geto already died once before and once she ends the life of whatever is controlling him, the remnents of Suguru will die out again as well. Shes losing them both again.
(Part 4) "What went wrong those 11 years ago??!" They're both such idiots, she thinks, crying furiously. Stupid mistakes, stupid actions. What was Satoru thinking? Why would he try something like that? Why couldn't they have communicated better, why did all those little things have to add up until they got to this point, something that never should've happened? The pain and the sorrow, the hammering of her heart and difficulty breathing is too much. "I can't live in a world without Satoru."
(Part 5) And Suguru looks so sad, and he tries to tell her it's the real him- she knows, tells her that he's sorry. Tries to crawl over back to Satoru's corpse, MC tells him bluntly that he better not lose control as she lets him while keeping a careful eye on him, she won't let Satoru get hurt if the Thing takes over again. She can see in between his words and mumbling to his friend's corpse that he's fighting, and fighting even more once he tells her the name of what's controlling him.
(Part 6) "Kenjaku." He pleads with her, crying out her name to listen as he says. The Thing was after the Six Eyes, with Satoru dead another will be born, but a baby cannot replace The Strongest, the Honored One, (oh how she knows, Satoru was all she had left.) What he asks of her, is impossible. She cannot defile his body in such a way. To take out his eyes, replace her own with them. Her body is compatible to different cursed energies, like moldable clay, and with Shoko's healing.
(Part 7) the transplant has a chance of working flawlessly. She hates it. Satoru is worth more than his stupid powers, but Suguru is trying hard to fight Kenjaku twisting his tongue and silencing his voice, he's croaking out desperately, that if she wants everyone to live, for all her friends to live and defeat The Thing then she must. The Six Eyes have always been its worst enemy. She cannot let that power die out when the world needs it for salvation. She agrees.
(Part 8) She apologies. For kicking him in the face. It's fine, Suguru says, he's forgives it, and he knows it was somewhat deserved. Its time now, they know what needs to be done. It's over quick and easy, one shot through his heart, and not a trace of blood drops to the ground, the wound seared shut from the heat of her attack. The only traces of Suguru Geto that remains on this earth are the bloodstains miles away from here in Shibuya, at the Tomb of the Star, where destiny was destroyed.
(Part 9) Before she ends it all, she makes a wish. If they were to be reborn again, it'd be nice if they could find each other once more and make sure everything goes right. Suguru had smiled when she let her technique go. He too, had promises to keep. "Say hello to Satoru in heaven for me." She forces a smile on her own face, tears having not yet dried. No use holding onto her rage as she takes away Suguru's life. That shouldn't be the last thing he sees.
(Part 10) She'll have to comfort herself with this, that they were at least together now. She hopes they can rest peacefully, it'll be the only kind thing given to them at this point. It'd been far too long and they deserve that rest so long overdue from the harsh tales their birth had woven into them. (Reaching for Gojo's eyes feels like betrayal. Note: I want that one line to be a total opposite of another line earlier on in their fight where she says, "Well then, come dance with me in hell!")
(Part 11) when fake!Geto probs said something about sending her there as a farewell or goodbye or whatever, idk haven't worked that bit out yet lol. It's so I can contrast the change in her negative mindset to being much calmer, to think of something more positive for those two. That 'that's' where they'll be. Suguru isn't the kind of evil Kenjaku is. It's the final acknowledgement and fully giving up her hatred.) Omg this is so long, I'm sorry. I hope its enjoyable at least??? *hearts and hugs*
Lol whoops, I forgot to mention but MC also kinda slaps Suguru after kicking him in the face and it's that moment of being stunned that lets her grab him, it's good that the "real" Geto doesn't fight back because geez Kenjaku controlling him is way too strong, a long-distance fighter and a great martial artist. At least then it's easier to get him in a chokehold and try to rip off the stitches hiding that cowardly brain.
Tumblr media
Idk why but I think it’s cause I have no idea who your MC is that I am not really following lol. And I am not that great with canon material, but I am sure that Gege has mentioned that there isn’t much of Suguru left in his body. Cause even though his technique and his heart and all is there, I think the brain (or Kenjaku)’s power is to not only take over the host, but also shape themselves around the core of the host’s spirit. So in general it’s kinda like Mahito?
But I guess I enjoyed it? Idk it’s a lot, I can’t process much of it because I think I am too in the dark of your MC, but I also enjoy the entire thing? Idk, I am a mess of how I should feel cause I can barely process the entire Shibuya Arch lol. 
Also does that mean that the Gojo clan does not have a head anymore? How is that going to work? Or are they going to take her in as the new head? Wouldn’t the world’s axis shift too cause because she isn’t the original owner of the Six Eyes. She doesn’t know how to use his Technique - I am assuming she is a no name before she took his eyes. Doesn’t that mean that open up an entire new Arch in your timeline as it is?
Honestly, now that I look over it again, there is so much going on that I am surprised that there are people out there with such rainbow brains to be able to think of something as insane as this. There is so much detail that it kinda blows my mind lol. 
But I love that you shared so much cool ideas with me, anon! if you ever write this, do tag me so that i can read. or tag me in your entire MC timeline - I would love to explore this even more!

In It For Th Long Haul - Chapter 9
Mac’s POV
They stumbled into Goodneighbor just after sunset. They would have Gotten there sooner had they not run straight into a horde of Super mutants. They had miraculously gotten through Kellogg and his synths without any injuries, but the mutants had left them pretty banged up. Flynn had a new scar on her chin.
MacCready let himself relax a little as they approached The Memory Den. He knew Goodneighbor well, and the people, most of them, knew better than to mess with him.
His eyes widened when they entered The Memory Den. He had never actually been inside before. It was quite hard to get in, and cost more caps than he was comfortable spending on something like this. The high tech loungers contrasted the ornate, red drapes and rugs. They were in surprisingly great shape despite everything. A woman in a fancy dress was lounging on a couch in the middle of the stage at the end of the room. Valentine walked up to the woman.
“Mr. Valentine, I thought you had forgotten about little old me,” she purred.
“May have walked out of The Den, but I’d never walk out on you,” he flirted back. MacCready’s nose scrunched up a little in disgust.
“Hmph. Amari’s downstairs, you big flirt.”
Valentine led them behind the stage, and down the stairs to a makeshift lab. There were several tables and cabinets with several different medical items. There were two different loungers, several different kinds of technical equipment that MacCready had no idea about, and a computer the doctor was using. There was an office chair between the loungers, and a couch against the wall. He wondered about the couch.
“Doctor Amari?” Valentine said.
“Yes? I take it this isn’t a social call.”
Flynn walked up to Valentine, and stopped next to him. She clutched the blood stained medkit in her hands.
“We need the memories from a man named Kellogg,” she explained, “But he’s dead.”
Amari got a horrified look on her face, “Besides the fact that you’re asking me to defile a corpse, the memory loungers require living brains to function.”
“This dead brain had inside knowledge of the Institute, Amari. The biggest scientific secret of the Commonwealth. You need this, and so do we,” Valentine argued.
Amari sighed, “Fine. Do you… do you have it with you?”
“This is… what we have,” Flynn said, handing over the medkit.
She popped it open, and exclaimed, “What’s this? This isn’t a brain! This is… wait…” she picked up what was inside, “This is the hippocampus! And this thing attached to it. A neural interface.”
“Those circuits look awfully familiar,” Valentine muttered.
“I’m not surprised. From what I’ve seen, all Institute technology has a similar architecture.”
“Go on, Doctor,” Flynn said.
“Mister Valentine is an older generation synth,” she explained, “Institute technology being what it is… The brain implant could fit him. But that’s… an incredible risk to take. We’re talking about wiring something to his brain.”
Maccready watched as Flynn’s face became swamped with worry.
Before she could say anything, however, Valentine said, “Don’t worry about me. I’m well passed the warranty date, anyway.”
“Are you sure?” she asked. Her worry was practically tangible.
“The Institute is responsible for who knows how much of the things that go wrong out there. I’m sure about this,” he assured her as he walked over to the office chair to sit down, “If I start cackling like a grizzled mercenary, pull me out, okay?”
“Let’s see here…” Amari muttered, “I need you to keep talking to me, Mister Valentine. Any slight change in your cognitive functions could be dire. Are you feeling any different?”
“There’s a lot of… flashes… static… I can’t make sense of any of it, Doc.”
“That’s what I was afraid of. The mnemonic impressions are encoded. It appears the Institute has one last failsafe. There’s a lock on the memories in the implant.”
The defeated look was making it’s way back on to Flynn’s face. MacCready could see her becoming exhausted by everything. Her voice was getting close to being there too, “please tell me there’s a way past this.”
“Let me think… The encryption is too strong for one mind, but… what if we used two?” she suggested.
“What do you mean?” Flynn asked.
“We load you two into the memory loungers. Mister Valentine here will act as the host, while your consciousness drives through whatever memories we can find.”
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” MacCready asked. He was not about to lose Flynn to a technical failure that could be avoided.
“I have to do this. We don’t have any other way,” she said. Despite the softness of her voice, he knew he was not going to change her mind.
“I’ll be okay,” she reassured. She sounded like she was talking more so to herself than him.
He frowned at her. He had been more than okay with Valentine sacrificing himself for this, but she was different. He had seen her put herself in harm's way before, but he knew how to nurse a bullet wound, not whatever this might do.
“Whenever you’re ready, please take a seat in the memory loungers,” Amari instructed.
Flynn looked at Valentine and nodded.
“See you on the other side,” he joked.
She looked at MacCready one last time with a soft smile before she climbed into the lounger. Once she was settled the The glass top closed.
Amari turned from her terminal to MacCready and Piper, “YOu to may want to come over here to observe what they are experiencing.”
He nodded and stood behind her where he could see the screen. He glanced at Piper, who had been quiet this whole time. She looked as worried as he felt.
“Initiating brainwave migration between the transplant and the host,” Amari announced. MacCready assumed that meant she was starting everything.
He looked at the screen. It was a lot of technical jargon that he did not understand.
“Mnemonic activity coming from the transplant! It’s deteriorated, but it’s there! We are going to load you into the strongest memories we can find. They might not be… stable… Just hold on!”
He wondered how they could hear her.
The screen changed. Now it showed a webbing of, well he did not really know what they were if he was honest.
“Ah, good. The simulation seems to be working,” Amari explained, “although the memories are quite fragmentary. I’ll try to step you through the intact memories, and hope we find one that gives us a clue as to the Institute’s location.”
She did somethings on the terminal until she found a memory for Flynn to walk them through. It was a bedroom with a child on the bed and a woman sitting in a chair next to it. A man could be heard yelling at them from outside the room. A radio was on. MacCready assumed Kellogg was the kid.
“Wait,” Piper said, “is the radio talking about the NCR forming?”
He gave her a confused look, “Wouldn’t that make him around a hundred years old?”
Their side conversation was interrupted by the next memory. They were now looking at a young adult Kellogg in a kitchen with a woman and a baby in a crib. His wife and child. They were talking about having to move, because of his new job. It sounded like mercenary work, or something like it. MacCready felt himself starting to be overcome with a sad sense of Déjà vu. He looked away before his mind started to wander too much. The scene was far more familiar than he liked.
When he looked back they were on to the next memory. He was being taunted by some mysterious voice. When he realized they were taunting him over the death of his wife and child. He knew the look on Kellogg’s face all too well. He was starting to feel more and more uneasy.
The next one made his blood run cold. He was sat in a bar discussing a mercenary job with two guys. The situation by itself was practically nothing. Bars were common places to pick up clients. It was attitude, the way he spoke, and the look on his face that threw MacCready off. It was like looking at himself from just a little over a month ago. The night before he had been hired by Flynn. There were so many similarities. Too many. He started to quietly panic. His mind raced as he thought about how similar they were, and if he might end up like him.
He was dragged out of his thoughts by the sound of Flynn’s muffled yelling and screaming. His head whipped around to look at where she was laying in the memory lounger. Her breathing was faster and she had a pained look on her face, but she was quiet. He looked at the screen instead. He was met with the scene of a row of odd looking pods inside of what looked like a vault. He quickly realized what this memory was. He heard her and the other vault dwellers banging on their pods and yelling. He watched as Shaun’s father begged desperately for them to not take him. He watched as Kellogg shot him without a second thought. He saw the horror on the mother’s face after the gunshot.
“I’m sorry you had to go through that again,” Amari said, “I found another intact memory… Whenever you’re ready.”
He glanced over at Flynn. She was still taking ragged breaths. He could not imagine what she was going though right now. She was living through what he figured was one of her worst memories again.
It took a few moments for the next memory to start. He did not blame her. This one was in a shack. He was sitting in a chair while a child sat on the floor. It took him a moment to realize this was in Diamond City, and that was Shaun.
They watched as a man walked in an odd leather getup and sunglasses.
“One of these days you’re going to get your head blown off just barging in here like that,” Kellogg said.
“Minimizing my exposure to civilians is a prior-”
“Forget I said anything,” he said, cutting the man off, “So, what’s the big crisis this time?”
“New orders for you. One of our scientists has left the Institute,” the synth siad. MacCready assumed he was a synth.
“Left? As in?”
“He’s gone rogue,” he explained, “Name is Doctor Brian Virgil. We know he is hiding somewhere in the glowing sea, here’s his file.”
Kellogg took the file and said, “Guess you’re taking the kid back then.”
“Affirmative. Your only mission is to find and eliminate Virgil.”
“You’re taking me home to my father?” Shaun asked. MacCready felt his heart twinge at that. The kid did not even know about his real parents.
“Yes, stand next to me and hold still,” the synth affirmed.
He then said some things MacCready could not quite understand, and with a crack of blue lightning they were gone and the memory ended.
“Did they just…” he began to ask.
“Teleportation,” Amari confirmed, “Now it all makes sense. No one can find the entrance, because there isn’t one! Let me pull you out of there, as soon as you’re ready.”
After a few moments of her working on the terminal the simulation ended. Valentine woke up before Flynn did, which worried MacCready a bit. He slowly got up from the lounger, as Amari asked him various questions. MacCready ignored them. He was too worried to listen.
After Piper led Valentine upstairs with Dogmeat’s help, Amari addressed MacCready, “It’s normal for one to not wake up immediately… especially if they witnessed a traumatic memory.”
He simply nodded in response.
“When she does wake up,” she continued, “I’m going to need you to keep a close eye on her.”
“I already do,” he muttered.
After a few moments her eyes opened, and so did the pod. He felt relief wash over him.
Amari helped her out of the lounger, asking if she was alright.
“I’m fine,” she tried to assure them. She sounded a little pained and tired, but okay. She looked the same.
“That’s good, but I want you to keep monitoring yourself. We have to be sure there’s no long-term side effects. Are you… ready to talk about what happened in there?”
She took a deep breath, “We got what we needed. Now we know how they get around undetected.”
MacCready frowned at her, but he did not say anything. He was not surprised that she was focusing on what needed to be done.
“Yes,” Amari agreed, “Their greatest secret has finally been revealed, but that only leads to more questions. How does it work? Where do we go next?”
“That scientist Kellogg was supposed to track down. Virgil? We should track him down,” MacCready suggested.
“You’re right! A rogue Institute scientist could answer all kinds of questions, but didn’t they say he was in The Glowing Sea? That doesn’t make much sense. No one goes there. Not even if they’re desperate.”
“Why? What’s The Glowing Sea?” Flynn asked.
That took MacCready aback. At first he worried that the simulation had messed with her head, but then he remembered that she’s only been out of the vault for a month and a half. Sometimes she emulated so much confidence, and she was such a quick learner that he forgot.
“It’s essentially a sea of radiation. It’s rumored that’s where the bomb dropped here, so if you’re going to go there you’ll need a way to combat the radiation,” Amari explained.
She nodded, “I’ll find a way to get through the rads. Don’t worry.”
“If you really are going to track him down, be safe, and good luck.”
“Thanks Doc,” she nodded, “Come on, MacCready.”
“Valentine and Piper are upstairs by the way,” he informed her as she turned to the entrance to the lab.
She nodded. Her steps were slow, but she did not stumble at all. He still followed her closely in case she did.
They found the other two sitting on a couch. When they approached there seemed to be something off about Valentine.
“Hey, how are you holding up?” Flynn asked him.
“Hope you got what you were lookin’ for inside my head. He he. I was right. I should’ve killed you when you were on ice,” the words from his mouth said. Although it came from his mouth, it was not his voice. It was Kellogg’s.
“Nick?” Piper exclaimed.
He blinked, “What?”
“You just sounded like Kellogg,” Flynn explained.
“I did? Well, I feel fine now. Amari did say there will be some mnemonic impressions. How are you holding up?”
“I’m fine, just need some rest.”
MacCready had a feeling that was not the whole truth, so he held his tongue on. Instead he suggested, “We should head to The Rexford then. See if they have any free rooms.”
“Oh God. I forgot we are going to have to stay here overnight,” Piper burst out, as they left.
He did not really blame her for that, as much as he appreciated Goodneighbor.
Luckily for them The Rexford had two empty rooms for them. MacCready retrieved the keys for the rooms, and he and Flynn wished their new allies goodnight.
When they reached their room Dogmeat immediately curled up at the end of the bed closest to the door. MacCready could not help the small smile that appeared on his face, but it quickly melted quickly when he looked at Flynn. She had discarded her pack at the foot of the other bed. She sat on the edge facing the other. She stared at the wall with a glassy look. It was the same one she had the first two times the vault was brought up with him.
He set his pack on his bed, and then sat next to her.
“You did the right thing today,” he said, trying to comfort her.
“I know I did,” she sighed, “I just wish I could’ve done more then.”
“You can’t think like that. It’s not your fault.”
She did not say anything. She just kept staring.
MacCready stared down at his hands. He thought of the memories he was reminded of. He thought maybe, just maybe, a similar story could comfort her. He took a deep breath and hoped he was not being selfish.
“I know what it’s like to have someone die, and to blame yourself for it,” he confessed, his voice a little shaky, “a few years back my wife and I decided to hole up in a metro station. We didn’t know the thing was filled with ferals.” He could feel his eyes start to sting, and he knew his voice would break, but he continued, “They were on her before I could even fire a shot. They tore her apart, and there was nothing I could do. I blamed myself for her death. I… still do. Don’t do that to yourself.”
He closed his eyes when she rested her head on his shoulder. It had been awhile since someone had touched him that gently other than patching up a physical wound. He did not need to have his eyes open to know she was close to tears too. They had both been through a lot, and everything that had happened that day hurt like a punch to the gut.
“I’m sorry,” she said quietly.
“I am too. There’s nothing I can do about what happened, but you can still find the kid… and I’ve got your back the whole way,” he promised. After that day it was more to himself than to her.
He craned his head awkwardly to look at her. He could not get a clear look of her face due to the angle, and her red hair being in the way, but he could see she was exhausted.
“You need to get some sleep,” he suggested, gently nudging her off his shoulder. It felt oddly cold when her head moved away. When she sat up fully he realized she had a light patchwork of freckles on her face. He was not sure if they were new, or if he had just not noticed before. He stood up awkwardly when he realized how close they were.
“Thank you for not running off on me,” she said.
“Wouldn’t dream of it, Boss,” he teased.
He fought back a smile when he earned a scoff from her.
They went about their routine for when they didn’t have to take turns keeping watch, which ended with him laying on his back and her laying on her side facing away from him.
MacCready reached his hand into his inner jacket pocket, just above his heart. He produced the small, wooden toy soldier Lucy had given him. He had wanted to mention Duncan, but he was not ready for that. He did not have enough caps to buy a proper team, and he did not think there were enough Minutemen to spare for what needed to be done either. No, that would have to wait a bit longer as much as it pained him.
Thoughts of Kellogg crawled back into his brain, as his thumb ran over the figurine. He wondered how similar they really were. How close…
No, he thought, cutting himself off, I’m going to be a better man. I promise.

*sigh*
This is self indulgent as fuck
Manny
"Hannibal, I don't care if you're head of the Temple, a hero of the Wasteland or God himself in my tent. Why the hell did you send word that Arcade was dead?"
Truth is, the Followers have never had a problem with the guy before and he's probably got a reason for his actions, but that's the point here. Too many well intentioned cookies go bad because nobody ever dared giving them a kick in the pants, from Papa Khan on down. And I certainly won't let Hannibal go down that path.
"He asked me to," Hannibal says, very mellow as he lights a cigarette. The rifle across my lap interests him not at all.
If I wasn't furious with him I could be getting on quite well with this guy. "We mourned him. They tortured him. Two of my best friends went mad saving him..."
"I believe it was that eventuality he hoped to avoid," Hannibal says. "Had you come and pressed me, after independently verifying his life, I would have offered what details I knew. And the reasoning he gave for keeping his secret."
He sounds so damn reasonable. "Is there anything you can tell me that's useful now, then?"
"That might depend as much on your intentions as the truth."
I don't want reasonable any more. I want to be that teenager who ran with the Great Khans and snapped his fingers at initiation. The man who forced his way into First Recon and made them glad to have me, who walked through Flagstaff in NCR regalia and came out alive."
And for all that, I wasn't there for Boone when it mattered. Twice; and he's the one paying the price for it.
"Autumn's head on a plate. Next question?"
"Tell me how that goal is worth more," Hannibal says, tapping the butt into an ashtray, "then the communique I recently received from Colonel Autumn, offering Enclave help in taking down Ashur's regime. Because I have sought that goal for many years, it is the most monstrous of the hydra-headed snakes defiling the Capitol- but I would not enter into this alliance lightly." He is still, now. "Or without asking the opinion of those who have the most reason for rightful anger."
Oh, Brahmin shit. Shit.
It's all right for us to be pussyfooting around here in Nacochtank, where Rivet City security is literally within sniping distance and the cactus water draws in all the caps and mercs a settlement could want; it's a good start, a base for the Followers, but it won't change anything by itself. It's a place for people to begin dreaming about change.
What Hannibal's offering now, this is what the four of us had started planning for, late nights watching Daisy and envisioning a skein of hope across the wasteland. Showing isolated communities that they were connected, that they had common interests.
Why the hell does it have to be me who remembers all this, when I don't have Arcade's vision or Carla's perception or Boone's knowledge.
"I would say you'd be a fool, not to assume that the Enclave will claim it afterwards- and that's simply replacing slavers, isn't it?"
"Simone agrees with you. She would have us ally with the Brotherhood, but they have seemed...curiously deaf, to all the rumors. And there's something else which I'll confess is pure politics- my rendezvous with Colonel Autumn is at the Lincoln Memorial. I'm told they'll be activating Project Purity very soon."
"I've only been here a year and even I know that's poppycock."
"Possibly. But if the Tidal Basin begins running clean, and the Enclave can truthfully say they gave that to everyone..." Not troubled, maybe, but he's contemplative. "Events are advancing apace. Is your community strong enough, to risk Eden's wrath?"
I want things to be as simple, as a target outlined in blood.
"No. We're a mix of half-trained Followers and tired farmers, it's a refuge for those who aren't strong enough for the wasteland. So you're right, I'll have to let Autumn keep his head. But I'll tell you this- work with him and you'll rue the day."
"...the choices always seemed easier when it was simply a matter of your death or theirs, didn't they?"
"Now that, I would have to agree with."
*****
Boone
Someone will tell me, I guess, why we named her Daisy. I don't feel much like asking.
She knows me, that should be a kind of comfort. I can hold her, joggle her on my knee while she sucks from a Brahmin's witch teat, she doesn't mind. Her soft dark hair is thick for an infant, already like her mother's.
Keep swinging back and forth. One moment I don't know how I could have ever left her. Then she'll start crying for no reason and someone else will offer to take her, make her smile with a silly face, and I don't know if I ever knew her at all.
I ran off a lot, I'm told. Going around with the Lone Wanderer even when I had a baby at home.
It starts making some kind of sense when people start telling me their stories. How they'd be held captive in a Super Mutant larder, or a Raider base, and they'd given up hope before we showed up.
"Your minigun and his pistol! And you two could take down anything in your path, believe me."
For a while I thought, maybe quit using guns. Can't shoot with the baby around. She deserves more than glimpses of a father- or a corpse.
Last night I broke that promise. Stole Manny's hunting rifle, the apple of his eye, took it out to the Rivet City shooting range.
Making out a target in the dark, night wind trying to tear my beret off and the cold working through my California jacket, I wasted two clips of ammo and felt more alive than I have since Arcade crashed that Vertibird.
Worries me, whether I ever loved my daughter that much at all.

Why I Don’t Want Ben Solo to Die
Look, I am aware that Kylo Ren is a widely unpopular character with Star Wars fans. And that seems only legitimate, after all he killed his own father.
But reading and listening to fans’ comments, I come across the same judgement all over again: he is simply hated because he’s not badass.
The moment he destroys the ship’s console in a fit of rage it was already clear to most fans: what a baby.
Tumblr media
When he took off his helmet so we could see his vulnerable features: that is supposed to be the villain?! He’s neither ugly nor beautiful enough! He looks normal!! (How awful.)
Tumblr media
Kylo Ren / Ben Solo after the patricide, obviously traumatized. What a sissy. He did not enjoy the terrible thing that he did. He’s in pain and sorrow because his father is dead by his own hand, which means that he did love him.
A villain who loves someone? Who doesn’t enjoy the terrible things he does? My, my, how uncool is that. What a bad example to kids watching the show.
Tumblr media
Ben watches Rey leave with the Falcon, tears on his face. He’s more miserable than ever, kneeling on the ground, literally having hit rock bottom.
But he’s the Supreme Leader now, folks!! Wasn’t that what he wanted all along? Why isn’t he triumphant?!
Ben Solo / Kylo Ren, like Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader is a split personality. Many fans have never seen Ben behind the mask, not even in his interactions with Rey, because hey, if he was secretly a hero, he ought to be badass. And Ben is not badass, the son of Han and Leia is vulnerable and timid. So there can’t be a good guy in there somewhere, am I right?
Tumblr media
Sorry, but I can’t help wondering how people can be so blind. It has been staring us in the face from the start that this man is not the story’s villain, that he is on a painful but ultimately successful way to redemption.
And by “redemption” I don’t mean coming back to the Light, but finally finding and sharing the balance the Force and the galaxy so desperately need. It wasn’t for nothing that he had promised his grandfather that he would finish what he started.
Tumblr media
A guy I know claims that the wide-spread sympathy for Kylo / Ben (mostly coming for females) springs from the fact that for some unexplainable reason the role was given to Adam Driver, and that the actor’s personal charisma is leading fans to unhealthy and illogical conclusions. He never wondered why Disney gave Driver of all people this role in the first place, and that there actually might be a very good reason for that.
It’s easier to pretend that the saga is ruined, that Lucas has lost his magic touch and Disney is defiling the saga’s miserable remainders, than to sit down and try to think about it for just a minute. To listen, instead of believing to know everything by breaking down a 9-film-3-trilogies story to “it’s always black against white, ka-boom, the white ones win, the end”. Maybe, just maybe, Lucas had a good reason for telling the prequels the way he did and for selling the rights for the sequels to the Disney studios of all places.
One of the things that annoy me most is that so many fans keep calling Ben “Kylo Ren” and simply refuse to accept that actually they are speaking about Ben Solo, the son of Han and Leia and the nephew of Luke. Hence, also, the stubborn and unrelenting “it will turn out that Rey is a Skywalker / Organa / Solo / Kenobi”, even if in the first three cases these fans would actually be expecting her to kill her own cousin or half-brother.
Many of us have grown up with and loved the Star Wars original saga. I can understand that a lot fans are irritated by both prequels and sequels because used to stuff like Jaws, Rocky, Rambo, Alien etc. they of course expect a diluted and warmed-up rehash of the original story and not a development of themes and characters.
Tumblr media
But these antis never seem to consider that Ben dying, and dying unrepentant, is the very worst service the saga could do to the original story. It has been said and shown over and over that Rey is a nobody from nowhere. Ben is, thus, indeed the last scion and heir to the heroes from the original trilogy. If he “gets by his deserts”, all that his family suffered and went through was in vain.
His father sacrificing himself - for nothing.
His uncle - ditto.
But to these fans, Kylo’s miserable death would be the only thing that could still halfway reconcile them with the allegedly disastrous, or at least very unsatisfying, sequel trilogy. If they were “real fans” like they claim, in my opinion they rather ought to pray day and night for Ben’s redemption. If they would dare to look beyond their noses, they would realize that Ben has his uncle’s learning, his father’s slyness, his grandfather’s protectiveness and his mother’s empathy and that these qualities are only waiting for the right spark to ignite inside of him and light the galaxy.
I have my own, personal reasons why I’m hoping for Ben Solo to be redeemed, and I’m going to admit that they are pretty personal.
Yes, I like Ben Solo and I like Adam Driver: not because of their pectorals and arm muscles (although they’re nice to look at 😊) but mostly because I identify with them. I want Ben to change and be happy and I hope for Adam to make a marvelous job of this role. I know he and the rest of the crew won’t be capable to convince everyone, but I do hope that they will make Ben Solo’s character, life and development understandable to as many viewers as possible.
I don’t want Ben Solo to fail and die miserably, unrepentant.
Nor do I want him to become Rey’s pet, only good enough to have kids with her so that she will finally have her own family.
I don’t want Ben Solo to die “because that whiny sissy deserves it”.
I don’t want him to die because he’s sensitive and “a real guy isn’t sensitive”.
I don’t want him to die because “he’s done so much evil and doesn’t deserve to be forgiven.”
I don’t want him to die by Rey’s hand because she’s badass so whatever she does, it’s ok.
I don’t want him to die because “he’s not good-looking so he can’t be the hero”.
I want the last scion of the Skywalker saga, the oversensitive, doubtful, patient, emphatic, funny-looking Ben Solo to prove to the world at large that you can be a hero and find your place in your own place, as a man, even if you don’t come up with any of the common prerequisites for a hero in the common sense of the word.
I want him to show the galaxy and the audience at large that it’s never too late, that you can change, grow beyond your wounds and weaknesses, find your own place among humanity and a happy ever after.
I want him to be a role and an encouragement for everyone like me who is introverted, insecure, thoughtful, sensitive and overall not badass.
For the same reason, I was happy when I saw that my theory that Rey would take a plunge into the Dark Side was founded. Rey is being mistaken by most fans as the true heroine of the saga because we see the story unfold mostly from her point of view, so we tend to identify with her and to overlook the arrogance, stubbornness and aggressiveness that were already hinting at her personal development.
I hope that Episode IX will finally make abundantly clear down to the last fan that even the most pure and intelligent and well-meaning heroine can still go down a dark path. (Louder for the people in the back: Anakin and Ben had all chance to be heroes and they were turned evil by the events around them.)
Tumblr media
I want the Star Wars saga to end on the note “you don’t have to be badass to save the world.”
I want Love to be the triumphant end note.
I want vulnerability and empathy to be portrayed, in this action science-fiction world-wide known saga, as qualities that do not necessarily make you weak but can make you strong if you’re in the right place and employ them in the right way, instead of denying them and secretly admiring who has no qualms with going over corpses.
I know that many, many fans will never have compassion for Vader or Anakin. For some reason, if someone is frightening, they are likely to bow down before him and to think he’s right with everything he does, even killing and torturing.
Most fans hated the prequels’ depiction of Anakin Skywalker because he wasn’t a fearsome person like Vader but so desperately human.
They similarly hate Kylo Ren and wish him to end in the most horrible way because he’s conflicted and suffering instead of “enjoying” his crimes.
I know I’m being mean now: but I really hope that the expectations of these fans for “the badass wins” will explode in their faces when Episode IX comes out.
I predict that countless viewers all over the world will howl to the moon in frustration, claim that Disney ruined the franchise for good and sign petitions to start everything all over again.
But I hope that viewers who are less prejudiced will listen with their heart and find confirmation for what, in Lucas’ own words, the saga is all about: compassion and family.
And I also hope that future generations who will watch the saga on the whole, in particular boys and young men, will grow up with the message that you don’t have to be canonically handsome, formidable, violent and cruel in order to be a hero, but that loyalty and belonging to something bigger than yourself are more important; that a true hero is not someone who saves the world all by himself but who overcomes himself and creates a better place for other people and together with other people.
I don’t need to watch the lonesome hero, the cowboy riding away into the sunset. There are more than enough action films like that. Let Star Wars be a glorious exception for that cliché. I want it to give encouragement to people who, like me, are not cool and badass but for this are not useless, weak and have nothing to give to the world. If the saga ends the way I hope, I will assuredly not sign petitions for some of its chapters to be removed from canon but send George Lucas personally an enormous bouquet of flowers together with a card offering him all of my admiration and gratitude.
Do it for us, Kylo, Ben, Adam, George, please. Show the world that it’s always love that ought to win, not violence. Prove in a convincing way to whoever watches the saga that emotionality and doubts are not weaknesses but virtues, and that you can be a worthy and happy person without being cruel, vicious and creepy. I’m right here rooting for you and waving your flag.
See you in December. 😊

Outlander: Between Two Fires (5x02)
Interesting! This episode is setting up a lot of the major plot arcs for the season, and it's doing so in a way that deviates from the books in several key respects.
Cons:
This is probably a nitpick, but I have to say it. In the books, whenever anyone wants to come to the Ridge, or leave the Ridge to go elsewhere, it's somewhat of a whole production. Travel is slow, being away from home is tricky. But in the show, people seem to be visiting Fraser's Ridge like it's the suburbs or something. This is especially the case with Fergus and Marsali. I thought they were living in Wilmington? Are they staying with Jamie and Claire right now? Or are they just frequent visitors? It feels like something the show really needs to nail down in a concrete sense, or else we run into problems with the whole Fergus and Marsali story-line.
It's odd to have Jamie away from the Ridge to "hunt Murtagh" along with Lieutenant Knox. It's one thing to have Murtagh alive in the TV show. It's another to have him such an important figure in the Regulator militia that he's worth a specific manhunt. The consequence of this is that Jamie wanders around with Knox, has an experience that tells him the Regulators mean business, and then leaves to go muster up a militia of his own. The whole excursion served only to motivate Jamie to action, but it seemed like in the first episode, he'd been pretty motivated to follow through on his promise to Tryon, no matter how much he didn't like it. So why go through all of this again?
Pros:
One thing I will say for Jamie's story-line is that it outlines the stakes for the audience very clearly. I might not be thrilled with how it slots in to the story in terms of pacing, but when it comes to theme, I see why they included it here. Jamie is nominally loyal to the crown at the moment, because he took an oath and because he has foreknowledge of when the best time is to jump ship. But Murtagh and the Regulators are not wrong about the way people are being treated, and we as the audience, along with key characters in the story, know the larger trajectory of history here. In the moment, if this weren't historical fiction, who should we root for? The scrappy underdog, of course. And then we see exactly what that scrappy underdog is willing to do. It's a little bit horrifying. But on the flip side, Knox executes a man without a trial. But on the flip of the flip side, was Jamie right to let the other men go, to stop them from being hanged?
Jamie's stated goal is to prevent as many deaths as he can. How is that a sustainable position? It's an interesting dilemma for his character. Unlike with Culloden, he has years to plan his own strategy, and to know when to declare for the winning side. Could he possibly end up regretting his leniency now, despite his personal feeling? I like the complexity here.
Roger's subplot is another place where there is some small deviation from the books, but I really like where it's going so far. Brianna takes him out shooting, and it turns out he sucks at it. This ends up increasing his anxieties about his role here in the 18th century. It's clear from talking to Bree that she wants to stay there with her family, but Roger isn't sure yet. He hasn't found the thing that will make him worthy in Jamie's eyes, or that will allow him to provide for his family. At the same time, we see Roger as a natural performer, singing songs to baby Jemmy and also singing at a funeral, gifting his voice to a community in grief. As I mentioned before, Roger's arc with Jamie, their relationship finding its footing, is one of the most compelling parts of his entire character for me. So I'm excited to see that play out.
And then there's Claire, stuck trying to give medical advice in a world where people aren't going to respect her opinions as a woman. I like this as a central conflict for her character, and it also poses interesting questions about her role as a time traveler, too. She decides to use a man's name (Dr. Rawlings) to create pamphlets with some common-sense medical advice, but she also decides to start creating penicillin with moldy bread. Brianna questions this, worried that the invention of antibiotics over a century early might cause history to change radically.
There is certainly a tension here, and it's interesting that Brianna is the one to raise this concern. She came back into the past to change it, to warn her parents about a fire that would kill them. And Claire knows from experience that there's very little she can do to change history. But also, that history is changed constantly by their presence, and that attempting to avoid stepping on the butterfly is a futile task. Claire is a doctor. She will do what she can to save people, even though everyone she saves is someone that wouldn't have been saved if she hadn't been there to do it at the right time. It's twisty, and I can see why Brianna would be concerned. At the same time, I sympathize with Claire's philosophy, which seems to be that she can't actually live her life worrying about the butterfly effect. Where does it stop? She has changed so many lives already, and if she maybe kept someone alive who was supposed to die, how could she have behaved differently?
I love, love, love the idea of Marsali being Claire's student of medicine. It's such a fun twist for her character, and actually feels like a very natural progression from what we know about her. Her scene with Claire, where she's horrified by the "defiled corpse," was my favorite moment of the whole episode. She and Claire have such a hard-won friendship, and their kinship as mother-and-daughter-in-law is something I find a lot more touching than Claire's relationship with Brianna, truth be told. As I keep saying, I'll be curious to see where this goes, because Marsali is sort of filling in a role that went to a different character in the books, and not until book six. So what does this mean for that story-line? I'll be curious to see!
That's all I've got for the time being. This season is off to a pretty strong start, setting up lots of plot threads and asking some interesting questions with far-reaching implications. Could have used another Lord John sighting, though. I'll never get enough of that guy.
8/10
