Chapter 20: The Episode Bedeviling Bodies Part 4
FNAF Cryptid!Sun/Moon x Cryptid Hunter!Y/N (SFW)
A hand pushes the broken door open. Peering inside, the man’s heart jumps. They recognize him. He took your money and gave you a key to your room. The man’s eyes widen. His pulse skyrockets. Sun stares back, glowering despite the smile on his vessel’s face. This is not the scene they want to be caught in, standing still in the middle of a room, trapped in a circle of salt, surrounded by heartless corpses and their spilled blood.
Word Count: 15,100~ Warnings: Blood, violence, injury, horror, gore, brief suicidal thoughts/statements, vomiting, death, child endangerment, and possession.
A/N: This is the last part of this episode! There will be an epilogue that I'm going to post tomorrow, but for now, enjoy the conclusion to this very special hunt!
Night falls and Eclipse rushes to find you, but what they find is not your heartbeat. They conduct their own hunt with a new friend, and wait by a playground, hoping that it's not too late.

🐰 (You are so sweet and friendly, but gah, the fact that you create so many wonderful things, art, fics, etc, just blows my mind and I can't believe we're moots ♥)
Naff. Naff.

Without you I definitely wouldn't have (had, for past stuff) this much fun creating things! I'm so normal about all you come up with, and I just needed to show that because just gushing in comments wasn't enough!
Glad the intimidation doesn't go further than that though - or else I'd have to chuck some uno reverse cards at you! <3

Hey can I have a platonic teen gn reader who has dyslexia( it is a reading and writing disability) x Avengers who goes to Peter’s school. They feel worthless and frustrated because they need help yet they can’t help others with English. So they try very hard yet it barely gets noticed. They are working so hard to the point they break. It is ok if you don’t do it. Thanks
Struggles
Summary: Working twice as hard just to reach their level.
Pairing: Avengers x gn!teen!reader
Warnings: I have a limited knowledge of dyslexia
Word count: 706
a/n: hopefully this is what you had in mind

Y/N mumbles a paragraph from the assigned book again. It’s the third time they are reading it through, struggling to fully comprehend what’s being said. Frustration is starting to rise, as the book has to be read by the end of the week, and they have to write a short essay on it to prove they read it.
“This one had a mast thin as a sapling. Its sail hung skewed and fraying, its sides were patched. I remember the jump in my throat when the sailor lifted his face. Burnt it was, an shiny with sun. A mortal.” They read out loud slowly, taking time with each individual word. Sighing, they rub the space between the brows, starting to feel a tension headache coming.
They don’t have a lot of motivation to do this, because they work so hard on every single assignment, but the grades aren’t showing it. It seems like everyone else in her English class is getting effortless As and Bs, while they are crawling along with Cs and Ds.
Slamming the book shut, they throw it to the ground. Y/N leans their head against the table, shutting their eyes tightly. The amount of work they have to put in their school work is starting to get overwhelming.
Taking a deep breath in and letting it out, Y/N lifts their head and gets back to reading. They know they have to use more time to finish the work, even if it’s starting to feel like too much.
Y/N stares at their paper as they and Peter walk into the compound. D. All that work for a D. Their eyes are burning as the two come up to the living room, where some of the Avengers are hanging out. Although, Peter doesn’t live at the compound, he spends a lot of his time there, being good friends with Y/N.
“Hey, kids!” Tony is the first one to greet them. “Got your English assignments back today?”
Peter nods, taking out his paper. “I got a B+.” He smiles.
“Great job, kid!” He claps his hands together once.
“I know the Avengers work takes a lot out of the both of you, so we want you guys to know we’re proud of you.” Steve smiles before turning to Y/N. “What did you get?”
“A D.” They mumble, eyes and cheeks burning. Their gaze is cast downwards, away from their team’s eyes. They don’t want to see any disappointed looks. “I’m sorry, I really tried. I worked so hard on it. I did my best, but it wasn’t enough.” Their voice starts to crack and their whole body shake.
“Hey, hey,” Natasha gets out of her seat, walking to Y/N, “it’s okay. Grades aren’t everything, you don’t need to apologize.” She wraps her arms around them.
“But it’s not just this assignment, it’s every single one.” They lean against Natasha.
“Why didn’t you tell us? Or ask help from anyone?” Steve asks.
Y/N hiccups, lifting their head. “I wanted to prove I could do it by myself, that I could be just as good as everyone else. But I couldn’t.”
“We all need help with something.” Peter sets his hand on Y/N’s arm. “I always need Steve’s help with history. I just can’t remember all the names and years on my own.” Steve nods in confirmation. “I’ll help you out with English, okay? We can work on the assignments together.”
Wiping away their tears, Y/N nods lightly. They didn’t necessarily feel good about crying in front of everyone, wanting to keep a capable picture of themselves in front of the others, but they still feel relieved to get it all out in the open.
“Thank you.” They whisper.
“We’re all here to help you, kid.” Tony speaks up. “Well, they are. I’m no help in book essay thingies.”
With a small laugh, Y/N nods again. “Do you want to go over our essays together now?” Peter asks.
“Yeah.”
Peter and Y/N start walking out of the room. “You two always make us proud!” Tony shouts after them, showing a thumbs up. Peter smiles giddily as they walk towards his room, craving Mr Stark’s acceptance.

2. Hey there, lovely people! There are plenty of fics where WWX time travels into the past, but I'm wondering if there are any where he travels forward in the timeline (not just as some sort of 'glimpse of &/or conversation with his future self' deal, but actually ending up in the future). Like maybe something where his 13/16 years of not being around is because he literally skipped over those years? @thispatternismine

11. (disclaimer: i appreciate the effort it takes to write every fic, and regardless of /my/ personal preference, the authors and many people love all kinds of fics obviously) so! may i ask for stories that contain some switching, but still have ****good**** novel characterization of lwj and wwx? i usually filter them out entirely due to preference (i mean yeah yiling laozu hot but he's still wei ying) and i feel like im missing out on some good stuff. thank you! (if d/s then dom lwj ofc!)
Not sure if these fit the bill, but they always read as cql but with novel characterizations. And they are so good. Post-cql setting for both:
out in the garden, there's things you hid away by saltyfeathers (E, 121k, WangXian, Possession, Animal Death, mass death event, Suicidal Thoughts, Suicide Attempt(s), lotta hurt lotta comfort, wwx-centric, unfortunately there's also a bodily fluids warning, just like a lot of bodily fluids, there is sex and it is all in the last chapter, Serious Injuries, Angst with a Happy Ending, Post canon)
and
Boy Trouble, We've Got Double by saltyfeathers (E, 59k, WangXian, Post-Canon, Case Fic, betrothed to someone else, Pining, Unresolved Sexual Tension, WWX POV, Protective wwx, WWX centric, explicit stuff only happens between wangxian, (or wwx and his own hand), Masturbation, Alcohol, Consensual Non-Consent, Additional Warnings In Author's Note, straight boy WWX) both by saltyfeathers. A lot of angst in these! All of their Wangxian fics I've read are soooo good.
The Strength to Hold Him by Toshokanin (E, 7k, WangXian, Post-Canon, PWP, Porn with Feelings, Tender, horny, Bottom LWJ/Top WWX, Rimming, Blow Jobs, Light Bondage, Anal Sex, A hint of sex magic, Dual Cultivation, Overstimulation, a soupçon of sex tears, Aftercare, Established Relationship)
~*~
12. in the mood for fics where the whipping caused lwj to suffer permanent consequences (more severe than the three years of "seclusion" + permanent scars). bonus points if he dies because of it
Despair by AmiraAlzilu (M, 3k, wangxian, LXC & LWJ, LQR & LWJ, LXC & LQR, major character death, Angst, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Grieving LXC, Grieving LQR, LQR Is So Done, Dead LWJ, Dead WWX)
Restart from the End by EmBlu (IcyDeath) (G, 72k, wangxian, major character death, resurrection, role reversal, canon divergence, yiling wei sect au, angst, hurt/comfort,  hurt LWJ, angry WWX, WIP)
the map of days by everythingispoetry (M, 20k, wangxian, canon divergence, angst, hurt/comfort, permanent injury, recovery, disability, parenthood, character study, 13 years of WWX's death)
the anteroom of golden age by everythingispoetry (M, 92k, wangxian, Canon Divergence, Disability, Recovery, Mental Health Issues, Grief/Mourning, Hurt/Comfort, Families of Choice, Developing Relationship) Ah I just realised for #12 that the story I recced is actually the sequel to the map of days which you already had listed 🤦‍♀️ however it can be read as a stand-alone which is what I had done as I didn’t realise it was part of a series. anteroom focuses on wangxian and is set after mo manor, whereas the first story is lwj-centric and set during the immediate aftermath of the whipping and takes place during the 13 years of wwx being dead.
~*~
13. Do you know any fics similar to concord by deastar??
~*~
14. Hello! ITMF any canon-era stories which focus heavily on spells or the more magical side of cultivation? Could be a curse gone awry, WWX creating a bunch of spells, the juniors attending a mysticism class, etc. Thank you thank you!
~*~
15. Hello, itmf for heavy angst due to misunderstandings between WWX and LWJ like something where LWJ doesn't trust WWX which upsets WWX. Would you please suggest 3 or 4 fictions like that? Thank you in advance. @paraffin22
我的皇后是農民 | sowing seeds in the cold palace by sweetlolixo (E, 78k, WIP, WangXian, Imperial Palace, Emperor LWJ, Imperial Consort WWX, Farmer WWX, Angst, Romance, Wingman LJY, Wife-chasing-LWJ, Arranged Marriage, Best Boy A-Yuan, not LWJ friendly) not bcuz trust issues b/w them, but super agnsty; i cried so much
Concord by Deastar (T, 41k, WangXian, Arranged Marriage, Gūsū Lán Sect Rules, Depression, Canon Divergence, Angst with a Happy Ending) This is a seriously angsty fic because of LWJ's misunderstandings of WWX and he definitely doesn't trust him. Not sure if that's what they're looking for but it broke me quite a few times.
~*~
16. may i ask for fics similar to this one? (It's we that you are for by Vir_Abelasan)
to quote the author's note: One of my biggest kink is for CR study arc wwx to have a teacher like post-timeskip lwj - just someone who would actually take his curiosities and ideas seriously and build a structure around that instead of just trying to stuff him into an ill-fitting, existing structure. [doesn't have to be teacher lwj]
In Walls of Glass by Comfect (T, 43k, LQR & WWX, WangXian, XiCheng, Good Uncle LQR, Teacher LQR, Canon Divergence, Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Fix-It, Butterfly Effect, JC friendly, Family Feels, Cultivation Theory, POV LQR, Seriously the only WWX Bashing is in the first chapter or so and is canonical in LQR’s head, Initial WWX Bashing, Eventual WWX Appreciation, JC appreciation)
~*~
17. hello!!! hope you’re having a great day!! for the next ITMF, I would like to see if there are more fics like Confusion, with the immortal cultivators in modern era! @darlingjunebug

killua hcs for reader who is really sleepy and likes cuddling all the time (kinda like a koala lmao) like on days with no work/school they sleep for like 18 hours (yes it’s possible)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
headcanons—
: ➛killua
hc; sleepy reader
note; literally me
Tumblr media
Imagine it's a wonderful day outside, the sun has made its arrival, the grass is greener than usual, nature's lovely scent still in the air as birds soar through the blue skyline.
everyone has gotten up for the day and up to do their daily activities while YOU remain in those messy sheets. Your leg dangling off the bed, a hand on the other side, your hair all over your pillow and drool seeping out through your open mouth.
or If you aren't a messy sleeper,, your sheets hugging your fatigued body as you sleep on your side or back with your bed hair on the pillow case.
your phone has been buzzing, someone is trying to contact you but you're too inlove with slumber to respond.
but once you finally awake from your rest it's about 4 in the afternoon.. though this was usual so you didn't care but once you checked your phone...
10 missed calls from 'shithead :3' (killua)
and TONS of text messages from him aswell.
you go to finally call him back after a brief moment to collect your sleepy self.
"hey sorry I was asleep—"
"YOU IDIOT I THOUGHT YOU DIED"
he gets so concerned about how long you can stay asleep... like are okay?? lmao???
one time he actually came over to check if you were ALIVE, thank God he has a spare key 😭🙏🏾
kil doesn't really need to sleep so he's usually up and wake WAYY before you
he picks at your face, pokes your cheek, nose really just plays with your unconscious self till he gets a reaction but he usually doesn't since you are one heavy ass sleeper
he does get lonely ngl so he tries to fall back asleep or calls Gon over to do something
anywayy
most times you find yourself weary around him.. you don't know why just his presence makes you feel safe and calm so you usually crash on him, either laying your head on his shoulder or just laying your head on his lap with the blanket covering you on the couch.
sometimes you don't even do it on purpose it just happens so naturally you crash somewhere on his body and stay there for awhile.
like once you unconsciously crawled on his lap to rest, it only took a few seconds before you passed out. He's so tense every time too 😭
but he sighs, and holds you close anyway. he lowers the volume down on the TV so not to disturb you and watches the show with his arms around you.
"you comfortable?" He mumbles, wanting to come off annoyed but secretly he was enjoying this.
you muttered something that sounded like a 'yeah' even nodding your head slightly, his annoyed eyes focus back on the TV from there the hunter smiles delicately.
sometimes you'll wake up in your bed with him facing the other way in the middle of the night. He most likely carried your fatigued body to bed, it's the only logical explanation you could come up with at the moment.
not like it matters anyway, he was there and he was warmmm. You inch closer, hands reaching, and soon you hold him from behind softly though. Killua is obviously aware you have captured him and his face burns but he doesn't say anything.
you plant tired kisses to the back of his neck which had his heart RACIN
but soon you close your eyes yet again , whispering..
"...night kil.."
his response was delayed but he delivered it nonetheless, flustered-ly like.
"..night." He hovers his hand over yours which was on his waist and he keeps it there for the night.
here's a silly one
killua DEFINITELY at some point has drawn on your face while you have been asleep
he was bored and you were in his sight 😈
prob has drawn a penis.. maybe a cat or two..
but most importantly has a drawn a mustache.
he's such an ass but it's okay cs it's killua 🎀❤️

18+ MINORS AND THOSE WITHOUT AGE IN BIO DNI
chapter 3
Tags: @cryptic-michael, @illiana-mystery
warnings: hunger games, injury, blood, death, swearing
the next morning, I sat in my tree trying to listen to the sounds of the forest I was in. My main goal was to find the water. The second goal was not run into anyone else. Twelve tributes were still left including me. I played with the necklace around my neck and finally took it off. Flipping it open, I marked a small snowflake into the bark of the tree. If I needed to come back at least I could find safe trees to stay in for the night.
carefully, I climbed over to the end of the limb and looked around me. I jumped over to the next limb when the coast was clear. Making my way towards the trunk, I marked it and kept going. By the time the sun was high in the sky I had made my way to the other side of the weapons pile. I paused and sat in the tree for a minute.
“Fuck.” I muttered as I glanced at the weapons like, remembering the sacrifice blaze had made for me. I wiped at my eyes, knowing the cameras were still watching me. There was a ruffle of foliage below me and I shifted in the tree. “Shit.” I murmured as one of the last careers emerged from the bushes and headed towards the weapons pile. She looked around before taking off towards it. A spear came out of nowhere, emerging from the tree line. My eyes went wide and I froze. The career went down and the cannon went off. There was rustling not far from me and I dropped out of the tree. Hiding in the bushes, I waited to see what would happen.
Bushes rustled as the other person in the trees dropped down and started after me. I turned and ran, clutching the knife in my hand and drawing my sword. Whoever it was didn’t have their spear anymore but it didn’t make me feel any easier. A sharp pain went through my calf as a knife embedded itself there. I kept running, ignoring the burn I felt. I tripped over a root and went sprawling. Turning my body at the last second, I raised my sword. The girl from 11 batted it aside and I slashed at her with my knife. With another hit, my sword fell to the floor. With a twist, I pulled the other knife from my calf and lunged at her with it. Straddling her, I slashed her jugular and clambered off her. I tucked her knife into my belt and grabbed my sword before taking off again.
I heard the water and ran off towards it. Tears of joy started to stream down my cheeks as I saw it. Collapsing on the bank, I cupped my hand and drank while keeping an eye out for the other tributes. The cannon went off and I paused. It sounded again and I frowned. I turned and saw a tree, hurrying to climb up it. My calf burned something awful. Once I was positioned securely, I pulled my leg up to look at it.
“for fucks sake.” I breathed out. I leaned my head back against the tree and closed my eyes. Using the knife, I cut off my sleeves. I pressed one against the wound and tied the other around my leg. It would stop the bleeding and probably would keep my blood trail to a minimum. Marking the tree, I moved to the next one. “Nine more to go.” I examined the new knife I acquired and put the necklace back on. “Thank you snow.” I whispered. The cannon went off again and I sighed. The rest of the day was quiet and I was surprised when the capitol anthem started. I watched as the fallen tributes graced the sky before being replaced with Nero.
“and our countdown continues to (Y/N) (Y/L/N)’s birthday. Just twelve more hours to go sweetheart.” He said. “May the odds be ever in your favor.” I stared up at the sky and raised three fingers pressed together. I fell asleep not long after. The next morning, I was woken by a buzzing sound. A drone was hovering near me, the small silver ball dangling under it. I grabbed it and watched as the drone buzzed off.
“what’s this?” I muttered and opened the ball. Proper bandages and salve were nestled inside. There was also a note.
‘apply generously and stay alive - CS’
I looked up at the sky and nodded, knowing he’d see me. I quickly undid my makeshift bandage, wincing as the dried blood pulled at my skin. I rubbed the salve into the wound and bandaged it properly. The cannon went off twice and I started. Six. Climbing back down, I drank some water before venturing into the bushes to find some food. Berries lined the leaves and I carefully inspected them before washing them. Another cannon went off just after I’d heard rustling to my left. The tribute tumbled down at my feet and I dropped the berries that were in my hand. Nightlocke. Washing my hands, I made to climb back into my tree.
“if we can just smoke her ass out.” One tribute was saying. The other one nodded. Looking back at the tribute that had fallen at my feet, I took a deep steadying breath and notched two arrows into my bow.
“fly fast. Fly true.” I whispered before letting go. The two arrows met their marks and the cannon went off twice. Two more to go. Another drone buzzed down next to me and I grabbed the ball. Biting down on the string, I climbed my tree and settled in. Opening it, I smiled at the small piece of cake that was in there.
‘Happy birthday. Win this and we’ll celebrate properly at the capitol, if you’ll have me -CS’
I blushed at the note before tucking into the cake. I sat there for most of the day, trying to form some sort of plan to make it out of here alive. I could wait and hope the other two would kill either or I could go after them and risk my own life. The first option seemed more likely so I decided to stay put. If necessary, I would fight them. Leaning my head back against the tree, I closed my eyes for a second. There was a buzzing sound again and I looked up. The drone wasn't headed towards me. Biting my lip, I tried to follow it as best as I could through the trees. The drone dipped down towards a small cave where the last two tributes were huddled together. The boy and girl from ten looked sick. I stared at them for a while, finally realizing why I hadn't seen them much during the games. They had probably been sick when they entered the Capitol. Or they had gotten sick while there and just started to show signs in the arena. My heart cracked at the sight of the two struggling to open the little silver ball. Once opened, I saw medicine for them. I ducked back among the trees and set up camp not far from them. There was no threat there, therefore no harm in just waiting to see what would happen. Night fell and the Capitol anthem sounded once again. Tributes appeared and disappeared. Nero took the screen.
"Three tributes left. Two deathly ill." He said with a shake of his head. "What will each of them be planning? May the odds be ever in your favor." I raised an eyebrow at the lack of recognition for my birthday but knew it was Snow's doing. Sighing to myself, I leaned back against the tree again.
"I don't know how long they have. And I don't know how long until you all force us together to fight. But I will tell you all this now. I am not going to kill them. Just let them die." I whispered, feeling pretty confident that the Capitol could hear me. And if they couldn't, Snow could. "I am the tribute who saved a Capitol child from the cart. I am the tribute who survived by hiding. I'll be damned if I am going to be forced to kill those sick children." Silence enveloped me as the night took over the arena. A soft buzzing came next to me and I saw the drone come closer. I waited until I was sure it was for me before taking the ball and watching it fly off. Opening it, I saw a note with new bandages for my leg. I redressed my wound first before reading the note.
'So shines a good deed in such a wary world. One day. Then run. -CS'
I pocketed the note with the others and planned. I had one day left before the gamekeepers unleashed something into the arena to end the games. Or force the three of us to fight. Snow didn't know it but he had just given me the perfect plan. We were still close enough to the water that I could go back and fill two of the little balls with Nightlocke. If the two tributes hadn't passed from their illness, I could stage it that they would be able to find the balls. I wouldn't be killing them exactly. Not when they thought it came from someone else. I would still feel guilty but at least their suffering would end. And they wouldn't have to face the horrors of whatever the gamekeepers had come up with. I decided to do it in the morning as I closed my eyes and went to sleep. I was startled awake the next morning by two cannon shots. Jumping to my feet, I looked around. The Capitol anthem started and Nero appeared but it was drowned out by peacemakers coming to collect me. They made me drop my weapons and I held my hands up as they approached. One went to reach for my necklace when I heard him.
"Don't." Snow said. "Remember what happened to the last person who tried to take that necklace from her." I instantly turned towards him as he held out a hand for me to take. I ignored it and threw myself at him, circling my arms around his waist tightly. If he was surprised by the action, he didn't show it. He just hugged me back just as tightly before picking me up. "You're safe now. I won't let anything happen to you." He whispered. And I believed him.

chapter 1. incidental introductions ----------- Incidental: something that happens as a minor part or result of something else: something that is incidental — usually plural
When you get to San Diego in the morning, you don't waste any time. With your mission files and a perfectly plain-looking sedan given to you by your team, you take to one of your favourite pastimes, people watching. 
Most of your subjects head right for their quarters on base. You watch for Lieutenant Reuben Fitch, a.k.a  Payback, who arrives at his quarters with his WSO, Lieutenant Mickey "Fanboy” Garcia. They chat for a bit inside before heading out to grab some stuff. You decide not to follow them on their grocery run. Next to arrive is Lieutenant Natasha Trace, otherwise known as Phoenix, who quickly meets up with Fanboy and Payback. 
Most of the other recruits named in your mission files aren’t due to arrive for another couple of hours, so you take to keeping tabs on the ones that have as the head off base. After checking in with command, Phoenix, Fanboy, and Payback head towards the Hard Deck, a common watering hole frequented by navy officers, says the brief about the bar included in your notes. 
You follow the trio a respectable two cars behind, and your subjects have no idea they’ve caught a tail. However, the unmarked car tailing you isn’t so lucky. As you turn away down a road, abandoning the three people you’ve been following, you look into your rear view mirror to watch the grey SUV take its 3rd turn after you. You shake your head. 
“And here, I expected better,” you sigh. 
You recognize the men following you as low-level baddies from your last assignment. You’re surprised they were so determined that they followed you back state-side but knew they wouldn’t take long to lose. 
Tightening your grip on the steering wheel, you step on the gas, your new friends following after you. You take sharp, sudden turns, doubling back on yourself, and driving through parking garages. You thank your past self for studying a map of the area on your flight over here because your pursuers can’t seem to keep up. Soon enough, you’ve lost them entirely, turning down a narrow alley on the opposite end of the beach, far from the bar you’re headed to. 
You take an alcohol wipe from your bag and wipe your fingerprints from the controls, steering wheel and other touch points. You ditch the clothes that you’re wearing, throwing them into the back of the car and changing into different ones. 
Then, you grab a bottle of lighter fluid and spray it all over the inside of the car, then take a cigarette from your shirt pocket and light it. Placing the cigarette so it hangs off the side of an ashtray, overtop the lighter fluid, you make a timed incendiary device. When the cigarette burns down, it will tonight the lighter fluid under it, setting the car on fire. 
Rudimentary, but great for lighting a car on fire and giving yourself an alibi.  
You exit the car, slamming the door and locking it but leaving the windows open a crack so the fire doesn’t suffocate before it had the chance to spread to the rest of the car.
You text a number on your phone. 
SMS: RIDE COMPROMISED. NEED ANOTHER.
 The sun beats down on you as you walk down the alleyway and out onto the sidewalk. You keep your head down and walk towards the beach. You plan to walk along the water towards The Hard Deck, hoping that you’ll avoid being spotted by your tail. You reach the sands of the beach and reach down to pull off your sandals before walking down the beach. The sand is soft under your feet, and the salty breeze rustles your hair and clothes. The sun is starting to set over the pacific and it's peaceful. 
When you arrive at The Hard Deck, you see another face from your files. Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchel is standing on the beach, peering in through a window. You approach behind him, and he doesn’t notice you. Maverick is watching Rooster on the piano with a look that is obviously nostalgia mixed with sadness. 
A footnote in your file on the two men said that Maverick was the one that pulled his navy application. It seems they still haven’t smoothed that over. 
“Excuse me,” you say softly to him, pulling Maverick out of his thoughts. He mutters an apology, not really noticing you, and walks away. You slip inside the door and are faced with a rowdy establishment. Rooster continues playing his heart out on the piano, he and the rest of the bar shouting the words to “Great Balls of Fire” with no clue as to the moment that’s taking place outside. The patrons are dancing, some tipsier than others, and the floor vibrates under your feet. 
Everyone assumes that CIA officers are elaborate, suave, and charming when undercover, like James Bond, but really, picking a cover is influenced by what the agent needs out of it. Sometimes, a flashy memorable character is perfect for infiltration and distraction. But right now, you need to be forgettable. 
Your clothes make you look like any tourist. You’re wearing light wash denim and a muted linen shirt. A basic black purse hangs off your shoulder, filled with just enough pocket trash to make it seem like a real person used it. In reality, every card, id, or receipt in it is fake.  The only proof that you exist is the fact that you’re standing there. 
You walk up to the bar, shooting a timid smile to the bartender. She comes over and introduces herself, even though it’s not necessary. You already know who she is. In return, you offer her one of your many fake first names. 
“And what can I get you?” 
“Just a vodka soda.” 
It’s not your favourite drink but you can’t stand the taste of beer and you didn’t come here for drinks. Penny nods and steps away to make your drink, and you scan the bar. All of the TopGun pilots selected for the mission are here. Most are gathered around Rooster at the piano, singing along with him. Some are still left behind at the pool table. As your eyes pass over them, you notice that one pilot, who you recognize from the blond hair and broad shoulders to be Lieutenant Jake Seresin, is staring at you. You don’t let your eyes meet him, hoping that he’ll ignore you, and turn back around.
Penny sets down your drink, throwing another subtle nod at Penny before you head to a table tucked away in the corner, empty and with a perfect view of the whole bar. No one should bother you there. You weave through the crowd and pull yourself onto the stool. You continue to watch the pilots make their way through the bar. You take note of how they interact together between pretending to scroll on your phone. 
You watch Hangman and his friend, Lieutenant Javy "Coyote" Machado talking closely together. They smirk, and look from each other to you and then back, before talking more. Then, Hangman slaps his friend on the shoulder and starts walking. 
“Shit.” 
So much for going unnoticed by anyone. It seems that Hangman’s ability to pick out women in a crowded bar outperforms your stealth. 
Men.
He walks over to you, with that stupid smirk stretched across his stupidly attractive face and you grit your teeth, still pretending to be lost in your phone. You hear his footsteps on the wood floors and the pressure of his presence entering your space.
“Hey.”
“No,” you say, looking up. Hangman is staring down at you. His eyes are a shade of light green and they are filled with smug charm.
“I haven’t even said anything yet.”
“That’s because there isn’t anything you could say that I haven’t heard before.”
He still looms over you, his fingers softly tapping on the table in front of you. “Are you a mind reader?”
You scoff. “I might as well be.”
He raises an eyebrow so you indulge him. 
“First you were going to introduce yourself, say that you’re a soldier in the military and that you saw me from across the room, thought I was beautiful and wanted to say hello. Then you’d offer to buy me a drink, try to flirt with me, I’d politely say I wasn’t interested, you would keep trying, and we’d go around in circles until the bartender kicks us out.” 
Hangman smiles even wider, laughing. “Well, you’re wrong about one thing.” 
“And what’s that?”
“I’m not a soldier in the military, I’m a pilot in the navy.” 
You knew that, but you just roll your eyes and let him think that you and a team of CIA operatives haven’t been monitoring every move these guys have been making since they were put on the list to be brought here. 
Hangman continues talking. “What would’ve happened after?” 
“Hmm?” 
“What would’ve happened after Penny kicked us out of the bar?” He leans closer, his eyes darkening ever so slightly. 
Now it was your turn to laugh. “No.”
He raises an eyebrow. “No?”
“You’re not actually interested.” 
“You’re so sure?”
“I am, because I know guys like you. I’m new. I’m a shiny mystery on legs that you can chase. The only reason you are over here is because your friend at the back-“ you give a wave to Coyote who’s doing a terrible job of acting like he hasn’t been watching the two of you like a hawk. “-has bet that you couldn’t be able to get me into your bed. But the fact of the matter is, you couldn’t handle me,” you finish, taking a long sip of your vodka soda. 
Hangman smiles, his eyes flickering down your face and then back up. “The least you could do is tell me your name,” he says softly. 
You lean in so close that he can feel your heat. “Not tonight, blondie.” 
You lean back into your chair, taking another sweep of the bar, and freeze when you see who’s walked through the front door.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”
Hangman is confused at your sudden change in demeanour. 
“What? What’s going on.”
The three men that were following you earlier in the day were back. As you try to see if you can hide somewhere, you make eye contact with the three men from across the bar. They’ve spotted you, so there's nothing you can do.  “It seems that you’re not the only man that’s come to bother me tonight.”
You look around at what you have at your immediate disposal. You’re right by the jukebox, Rooster’s just finished his impromptu performance. Perfect. 
“If you’ll excuse me Lieutenant Seresin, I need to take care of this.” You give him a wink and push yourself off your chair. 
“Wait a minute, I didn’t tell you my-“
You reach down and plug the machine back in and slide in a quarter. You punch in a number as your new friends make their way through the crowd. The familiar first bars of an AC/DC song play and you crank the volume all the way up. 
The music blares through the small bar, startling everyone but you. The blood roars in your ears like an angry crown during a cage fight, your heart pounds like the stomping of feet on a stadium floor. This is it for you. You were made for this. 
“Let’s do this,” you mutter to yourself. “Remember your training. Be fluid, be fluid.” 
You walk through the crowd, meeting your adversary head-on.
“Hey buddy, how’s it going.” You smile, and before he can get over his confusion as to why you’ve decided not to run out the back, it’s too late. Grabbing the beer bottle out of some poor cadet’s hand, you swing hard and smash it over his head. The force of the blow throws him into the bar and then crashing onto the floor. 
The second guy doesn’t stand much of a chance either. He pulls out a serrated hunting knife and points it at you. You roll your eyes. 
“Why don’t you put that away before you hurt yourself.”
He yells as takes a couple of stabs at you. You dodge the first and block the second but can’t stop his head from smashing into you. His forehead connects to your nose with a sicking crack and you stumble and shake the stars from your vision. You throw a punch in the side of his head and send a swift kick to his knee, causing him to cry out. 
“Fuck you,” He growls before lunging at you, trying to stab you again. You grab a wood bar stool to your left and raise it. The blade plunges through the seat and gets stuck in it.
“Fuck me?” You say, before spinning around and slamming the stool into his body, breaking the chair apart and sending him flying. “Fuck you!” You spit out, warm blood dripping down your face. 
A sudden force makes impact with your body. You yell out and are shoved into the pool table, tumbling over it and knocking someone over. 
“Sorry,” you grit out to Payback, pushing yourself off of him.
“Do you need help?” Asks one of the other pilots. They look shocked.
“No thanks, I’m just finishing up.” You say before you jump back over the pool table.
The last man left standing laughs and you sneer. 
“Alright sweetheart, let’s see what you're made of,” He taunts you.
You smirk. “Believe me Handsome, you won’t make it that long.”
You reach back to the pool table behind you and grab the cue ball from its place on the green velvet and catch the eyes of a shocked-looking man with glasses. Bob.
“I need to borrow this,” you say, smiling. Bob nods, more out of fear than an understanding of what you're saying. Probably because, with all the blood that must be covering your teeth, your smile looks like something out of a horror movie. 
Then, as quick as lightning, you hurl the cue ball at your opponent. The heavy white ball collides with his face with a loud ‘crack!’ and he falls back unconscious.
The other two men are still unconscious on the ground as well, which means that you get just a second to process everything. The bar is silent. Someone, Rooster actually, turns down the volume on the Jukebox so that the ending guitar of ‘Back in Black’ continues at an appropriate volume. You hear the soft clink of glasses and your own breath in the air. Everyone in the bar is either looking at you or the massive damages you’ve caused. 
“Well, shit,” you whisper between breaths before you shrug and start walking back to the table you were at. Hangman is still standing where you left him, his mouth hanging open in excited surprise. 
“Who are-“
“Don’t bother asking,” you say, reaching for the drink you left at the table. “Because I won’t tell you the truth.”
You lift the glass to your lips while making eye contact with him. You gulp down the cocktail, the taste of vodka mixing with the taste of the blood that’s dripped onto your lips. You grimace, half from the burn in your throat and from your nose bridge where you were head-butted. You set the glass down on a coaster and nod to Hangman. Then, without a word, you grab your purse and turn away.
You weave through the chaos that your fight left behind and step up to the bar. The brunette bartender, Penny, doesn’t look happy. She looks quite horrified, her mouth is wide open in shock and she looks at you. 
You try to give her a smile, which from the view of her and all the onlookers doesn't look too friendly. You can feel the blood gushing from your nose and dripping from your chin onto the bar. 
Yeah, you don't think your bloody smile will smooth this over. You reach into your bag for your wallet and place a large wad of cash onto the bar.
“For my tab, and everyone’s next round.” 
Penny is shocked, mouth still open as she takes the money, nodding slightly. As you turn to leave, you say, “And some people will come around tomorrow morning to repair the damages I’ve caused, don't worry about paying them. You have a nice night, ma’am.”
You reach the door and the bartender seems to come out of her shock. The sound of Penny ringing her bell and the erupting cheers of drunk soldiers follows you as you close the door behind you. 
You smile and shake your head, gently wiping at the blood that covers your lower face. You slide your shoes off your feet and begin your walk back down the beach towards where you're staying. You turn back towards the Hard Deck, and from the window, illuminated by the inside lights, you see Lieutenant Seresin, with his stupidly handsome smirk, watching you retreat down the beach. 
You give him a mock salute, which he laughs at, and then you turn around to pull out your burner phone. 
“Hey, Vinny! Yea it's me. I’m gonna need a clean-up crew right away... Yea, some friends will be waiting for you here.... And when you fix up The Hard Deck tomorrow, I want you to bug it.”
You hang up and continue your trek down the beach, holding your shoes in one hand and humming a sweet jazz melody as the taste of your own blood lingers on your tongue. 
--- The apartment the CIA gave you is nestled above a shop downtown and your bed has a great view of the sun rising. That night, you sleep well, the fight at the bar working out any stress you were holding in. The next morning, you start your day the way you always love to. You get yourself ready, putting on cloths, makeup and tucking your gun into the back of your waist band, before walking into town. 
You find a mom-and-pop diner with a cheap breakfast and take a seat in one of the dated booths at the back of the restaurant. The diner is perfectly quiet. An older lady comes to take your order and pour you a cup of coffee. 
“Someone had a rough night.” The waitress says. You laugh. While you’ve certainly looked worse, even the poultice your mom had shown you how to make and an ice pack couldn’t keep away all of the bruising. A dark purple bruise covers the bridge of your nose, and the ones under your shirt are pretty uncomfortable. 
“You should’ve seen the other guys.”
You order your food and wait, sipping your coffee and looking out the window.  Your phone buzzes on the table and a text message appears. 
VINNY: AT THE HARD DECK FOR THOSE REPAIRS. NEW CAR IS ON ITS WAY. GOV. ISSUE.
VINNY: THAT MEANS DON’T FUCK THIS ONE UP. SEE YOU SOON.
You smile and shake your head as the waitress sets down a plate of French toast and fruit. You eat your breakfast alone and watch the cars go by. When you finish, you wait for a minute to drink the last mouthful of coffee before looking out the window again. 
True to Vinny’s word, a government issue, all-black SUV pulls up in front of the diner. You stand and walk to the counter to pay your bill, wishing your waitress a nice day and leaving a generous tip, before stepping out the door and walking towards the car. You open the back door and are greeted with a familiar face. 
“Ma’am.” You smile. 
Alexandra Cross, your unit chief and longtime friend, gives you a nod and a slight smile. “Agent (L/N).” You slide into the car, smoothing the fabric of your black slacks and silk shirt as you settle into the leather seat. “I trust you found your way back stateside with little issue.” She says.
“For the most part. There was a small hiccup.”
Alexandra is an older Hispanic woman, in her late 40s with medium brown skin and salt and pepper hair. She nods at you, with a knowing glint in her brown eyes. “Mhm, yes. I heard. We have those men in custody right now, heading back to a holding centre. And the bar?” 
“While I didn’t plan on making such a memorable scene, it did allow us access to the building. After Vinny is finished this morning, we’ll be monitoring all chatter taking place inside the establishment.” 
She nods and shares a smug smile, fiddling with the gold band on her left finger. “I do love that man,” she says. 
Your driver comes to a stop at the entrance to the Airbase, where he’s greeted by armed guards. 
“Roll down the back windows please, sir.”
The blacked-out windows come down and you and Alexandra looks out to the soldier. You hand her your credentials. She leans forward, the silver streaks in her dark curly hair catching the sunlight, and hands him the clearance cards. He brings it to the computer and when he scans it, his eyebrows raise in surprise.
“My apologies for the wait ma’am. You’re free to go.” 
 He nods at the two of you before your driver rolls back up the window and drives through the gate. Alexandra turns back to you. 
“When we arrive, we’ll meet with Vice Admiral Simpson and his men. We’ll go over everyone's roles in the mission, and protocol on base. The rest of our team arrived this morning and are waiting for us. I’ve been told specifically that we aren’t authorized to conduct any surveillance of inside the walls of the base.”
“Vincent will be disappointed.” 
“He’ll live with it. We need to be on our best behaviour for this one.”
“You expect there to be difficulties?”
Alex signs. “Our unit is known for being a tad unpredictable and Admiral Simpson is known to be a hard ass, so even though we are both vital to the success of the others’ missions, I’d rather we kept the peace between our organizations.”
“This might be difficult, Alex. Servicemen are often overly cocky, especially pilots.” 
Alex smiles at you over the rim of her shades and says, “Well then I trust you to be your charming self.”
The car rolls to the front of the Air Base and comes to a stop. Alex leans back towards her driver. “Wish us luck, Rick,” she says and the two of you step out of the car. 
The California sun beats down onto you, heating the top of your head and making you squint through your shades. On the pavement stand Hondo and Warlock, who great you and your supervisor. 
“It’s a pleasure,” you say, stepping forward to shake their hands
“We can finish our introductions with the Admiral. the rest of your team is inside.” They say. 
You are led inside, through a hall filled with pictures of TOPGUN alumni. From around the corner, someone appears and walks beside you, then another. 
It’s Nichole Woods and Teresa, your technical engineer and analyst, respectively. 
“Thank god you’re here,” Terri says. 
“How was your flight in, ladies?” 
“A nightmare, you know I hate packing,” Terri says. “TSA is always a nightmare.” 
“You could always pack lighter. You should have seen the shit she brought. ” Nicky says. 
“Everything I brought is vital to my performance on this team! Don’t talk about my babies like that.” 
You turn down another hallway, and stop as a man dressed in a Navy uniform joins you. 
“Admiral Simpson, these are the CIA operatives that we're assigned to.”
Before Cheif Cross can be introduced, she steps forward. 
“Alexandra Cross, with National Clandestine Services. It's a pleasure, sir. I’ve heard much about you and TOPGUN.” She reaches over the desk and they shake hands. 
“There’s another Cross on your team swell. Any relation?” Cyclone looks at your boss with a look the both of you recognize. He already knows the answer to this. 
“You’re referring to our lead technical engineer, Vincent Cross, who is also my husband.” 
“I see,” he says, without much emotion. Alex wasn’t wrong, this guy feels like a stick in the mud. 
 He begins walking with, you talking as you go. “We’re setting you up in one of the classrooms next to the one our pilots will be in. I’ve been told that your analysts have brought a lot of their gear.”
The admiral turns and opens up the doors to show a large room, with rows of chairs and a large screen at the front. 
“I hope this will do.”
Terri looks around the room, checking the outlets on the side of the screen before nodding to Alex. “We’ve made do with much less, Admiral. This will be fine.”
“ Good. Your team comes highly recommended so I’ll be interested to watch your people work .”
“Thank you, sir.” 
“For the rest of us,” you say. “We’d like to know if theirs a shooting range on the base, and a place for us to conduct weapons tests.” 
“I beg your pardon, agent.” 
“Our engineers have experimental equipment that we often test run, and some of these things shouldn’t be tested inside. Is there an area outside that would be suitable for them to use?”
“Near our outdoor gun range would probably be best. I’ll have someone bring you there.”
The door to the classroom opens again and in steps a middle-aged, handsome man who you know to be Pete “Maverick” Mitchel.
“Good morning, sir.” 
“Good morning. Everyone, this is Captain Pete Mitchel…”
“The man who will be instructing the recruits on the mission,” you finish. You introduce yourself to the man and shake hands. “We’ve heard a lot about you, Captain”
“And I’ve heard a lot of you,” Maverick says. “Was it your team that discovered the base?”
“No. An asset in the UN found it and sent it to us to take care of, then we were told to bring the navy on board.” Alex says. “While your priority for this mission is to destroy the enrichment plant, our team is more interested in the Airbase that defends it. We hoped that our analysts would be able to access the base remotely and that we would be able to shut off the SAM Systems before your people begin the assault but there’s a problem” 
Maverick and the rest of the officers find seats as you gesture for Teresa to continue. 
“Normally, servers are connected to the internet when they run complicated software. A server will use the internet to share information across multiple locations and those internet access points allow us to hack a network remotely. However, because of the secret nature of this base and plant, its creators chose not to do this.”
“To hide the plant from prying eyes, they’ve put themselves back into the dark ages. Everything runs offline. The server, computers, surveillance, even the SAMS that defend the valley, are on their closed off, completely isolated network.”
“Meaning any access to those servers and their data needs to happen on location.” Maverick finishes. “Jesus Christ.” 
“Which is why we’re here,” Alex says.
You speak up. “Before your strike team is deployed, I will travel undercover and break into the airbase, retrieve any relevant info from their servers, and then escape the area on foot before the missile strike destroys the airbase.”
“With no backup.” 
“I won’t need it.” 
“If you’re delayed in the slightest, you would be on the ground while an airstrike is taking place up the mountain and tomahawk misses rain down on you.” Cyclone points out. 
“Then it’s good that I’m fast on my feet, sir.” You smirk. 
Alex continues for you. “We’d like to request that this portion of the assignment's details are kept from the recruits. At least until we’ve decided that they need to know them.” 
“Then what should they be told?”
“All they’ll need to know is that we are CIA analysts, here to provide accurate intelligence for the coming assignment.”
“They might believe that story ma’am, but they won’t believe that that one,” Maverick points to you. “Is an analyst. The pilots are still talking about the three men she nearly killed in town last night.”
You chuckle. 
“Whether they believe us or not, that’s the story they will be told.” Chief Cross finishes. “Will that be all gentlemen? Because my team would like time to get set up before we greet the recruits.”
Admiral Simpson nods. “I believe that’s all ma’am. He steps forward and shakes her hand. “I look forward to working with you.” 
“You as well, sir.”
“Captain Mitchel,” you nod. “I look forward to seeing you fly. I’ve heard lots about you.”
“You can just call me Maverick, and I’ve heard quite a few stories about you too.”
You smile. “I hope you haven’t heard too much, ‘cause then I might not be doing my job right.”
You watch as Cyclone, Hondo, Warlock, and Maverick leave, the door clicking as it shuts behind them. 
Alex turns back to you all, the smile dropping from her face. “Alright, let's get to work.” 
Nick is up immediately and out the door. “I’m gonna go get my stuff!” She calls behind her, making Terri chuckle.
“I’m gonna go help her.”
“Before you do,” Alex says. “What’s the status of our asset?’
“They went radio silent, ma’am. I can’t get a hold of them.” She says. 
“Then our job for today, along with appearing at the pilots’ briefing, will be to get that handled.” 
“Speak and it shall be done.”

author's notes
alright! here it is! If you've made it this far, thank you for reading. I'm really excited for this fanfic.
First off, because I'm writing about the CIA it's important to know that the info about them isn't accurate. One major inaccuracy is that CIA "Agents" aren't a thing. They are called Operatives or Officers, and an "Agent" or "Asset" is a foreign citizen that supplies info to the CIA, like an FBI informant! However I've chosen to ignore that and just refer to the reader and her team as both 'agents' and 'operatives' because I think it sounds better. Another thing to know is that the National Clandestine Services is a Branch of the CIA that does the spy stuff. Just thought that was cool.
Sorry for the inacuracies, but I'm sure no CIA "Operatives" will care that I'm spreading lies, It probably helps them.
So far, this story will have 9 chapters. I don't know how often I'll update, as I'm not a very fast writer. I plan to add this Story to AO3 and when I do, I'll put this link at the top of the chapter!
Thanks for reading, if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them, just message me.

Been thinking about CS!TSCS for a month at this point. Please enjoy these lil' doodles about it!
[ID in ALT and typed dialogue under cut :D]
Numero 1
Jacquie: Up the CHIMNEY?!
Carol: RIGHT UP IT! MID DISCUSSION!
Jacquie: GIRL, DUMP HIS ASS!!!!
Numero 2
Santa: How did you even GET that vest, huh?!?!
Jacqueline: I MURDERED my PREDECESSOR.
Santa: you what
Numero 3
Jack: Good day at work today, little flurry?
Jacqueline: Mmmmmm yep! Told Santa I killed you for the vest and the title >:)
Jack, turning around sharply and full of pride: HA! NICE!
---
These were the doods I meant to post last last Thursday after this scrimbly Jacqueline, lol. When I tell you that Crystal Springs TSCS has been IN MY HEAD, I AM NOT JOKING!
The reason I didn't post these sooner is bc I really wanted to draw the last one and hadn't gotten around to it as of yet, and I also wanted to colour these PROPER scrimblies because holy SHIT I LOVE COLOURING 🤩🤩🤩🤩
More fun facts about CS in TSCS:
Carol and Jacqueline have regular vent sessions. Mostly Carol; Jacqueline's just there for the TEA (and emotional support)
Her catchphrase could very much be "CAROL. DUMP HIS ASS" in this cs au
"Don't you mean tscs au?" NO. TSCS IS AN AU IN ITSELF AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
She frustrates Santa to no end bc A) She's Jack Frost and he has previous biases, and B) she goes OUT OF HER WAY to bother him.
When I say Jacqueline dislikes tscs!Scott, I am not joking. It is not hyperbole. She can't STAND him. And she tells him that to his FACE. MULTIPLE TIMES. And adds insult to injury bc she's buds with Carol and Buddy and Sandy, lol, and all the new gen elves are like, chill with her
(I have a silly hc that Betty is a Bernelle kid and Jacquie's her godmother, lollllll)
She and I both dislike people who need change and refuse to work on themselves/believe they're FINE and it SHOWS.
After she made the claim about murdering Jack, Santa was TERRIFIED on top of his usual distaste for Jack's successor lmao
She was quite delighted at how Santa took that tale. Elaborated a bit. I imagine it went something like this:
"...you what?" Her murderous look intensified. Santa could easily picture the darkness gathering around her the way it did in cartoons when the evil character was. Well. Being evil. "You heard me!" She sounded way too delighted, Santa noted. "I killed my predecessor! You know, the guy before me? Yeah. Stabbed him right dead. Pulled the vest out of the melted pile of slush that was once Jack Frost the first and put it right on." "...Jesus Christ."
Anyway, after that, she goes home and Jack pops in for 4 o'clock coffee and the final image ensues, lol. This interaction follows that:
"And he believed you?" Jack asked, pulling out the chair next to her and plunking down, stretching out his legs and crossing them at the ankles. "Damn near shat himself about it, too," Jacqueline confirmed, looking sly over the top of her mug. Jack laughed. "Oh that's, that's marvellous." "Mm! It was! THEN I elaborated. Told him I took the vest like a war trophy, you know? Didn't even wash it or anything. Shame I said SLUSH instead of BLOOD because I bet he would've like. DIED on the spot picturing me putting on a blood soaked vest, ehehe. I swear Jack, I could see his soul leave his body. Definitely top 5 best days at work. Maybe top 3, even."
Jack is deffs enjoying retirement in this au! Going full vacation mode, spending most days in various hot spots on various beaches with various drinks, usually popping by the family home for 4 o'clock coffee and cocoa--and a break from the sun since he burns and Winter worries
YES he IS still wearing his suit pants. I thought that'd be funny and just about died picturing him in khakis
With every Jack I draw his hair grows more powerful, AS IT SHOULD BE!!
I DID draw a chair behind Jacqueline but her poofy hair ate it~
I think she is A) older in this au than she regularly is and B) is already married to Dite. I'm still on the fence about both those things, but she feels older in this au--probably because the entire cast is older lmao
Late night post is late bc I finished colouring this and wanted to share it asap, DAMN THE TIME!!!!

Happenstance.
Tumblr media
for the cs prompt challenge week 2: “i miss you. i miss you so much it hurts.” // pairing Rydal Keener x Reader // sequel/response/conclusion to Unclaimed Promise.
You’d say that it was rather unexpected the way Rydal returned to your life. (And rather unexpected is an understatement, but there’s no better way to phrase it).
Months melted into years and you accepted that Rydal was just a memory to you now. If you thought back hard enough, you could remember the spice of his aftershave and the heat of his palm pressed into yours, even as you left the small town where you two had shared barefoot strolls and stolen kisses.
You returned home to America and lost yourself in your work. You built a new home halfway across the world. You filled your days with challenging tasks and friendly people and your nights with sweet drinks and even sweeter lovers.
You burned the daylight hours of the weekend in messy stacks of bookstores and half-curated art galleries. There was a small part of you that still hoped that somehow, you might run into Rydal. Happenstance. All this way away but still he’d find you.
(We all have dreamers in ourselves, and sometimes those dreamers win).
Behind the yellowed and fragrant pages of Foucalt or Fanon, you eyes ghost over phrases and ideas but your mind wanders. Eventually your eyes do too. You scan the sparse population nestled in between stacks.
Gray hair, wrinkled skin, piercing perfume.
But your eyes come to rest on one body — there’s the dark hair that shines brightly when the sun hits it from the cloudy windows. The shoulders are more sunken than you remember. This man’s head hangs low.
“It couldn’t be.”
It’s more likely to be a mirage than it is to be your Rydal, and wouldn’t that make quite the story over a glass of wine tonight? A mirage in a bookstore?
Still, you work your way closer and yes, you’re even more sure now.
“Rydal?”
The man turns around, befuddled. How does someone in this foreign city know his name? His face reads before he sees you.
He sees you and something shatters inside of him. Rydal breaks into a 1000 little pieces in your arms. You embrace him all the same.
It’s you who speaks first, “You said you were coming back to me.”
“I know, there were some things that got in my way.”
You hold each other, faces damp with relief.
You can’t let go, even after falling with each other into bed that night. Fingers and bodies tangled together in your sheets, he whispers, ““I missed you. I missed you so much it hurt.”

Wait, so then, for the CS au, would all three of them be brothers? Maybe their parents preferred Sun and Moon and left most of the inheritance to them, so Eclipse, in envy, burns their house with them inside resulting in their death and Eclipse being the sole inheritor.

repost & list 6 songs that inspire you to write your muse
arsonist's lullabye - hozier
seven - taylor swift
uneven odds - sleeping at last
new constellations - ryn weaver
strong - pjao musical
ready now - dodie
& list 6 quotes that inspire you to write your muse
“ I saw the sun. So much - power and fire and rage inside of her, enough to burn the world and leave it nothing but desert. But to look at her, oh - It was too much for most. But it seemed so still, so stable. But it wasn’t calm. It was just - distant “ - jonathan sims
"What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once." - ocean vuong
"i am the good news - consider me the burning bush. you're damn right I’m on fire; I’ve been carrying the sun on my spine intending to light the way" - roya marsh
"Courage, dear heart" - cs. lewis
“I said to the sun, ‘Tell me about the big bang.’ The sun said, ‘it hurts to become.” - andrea gibson
"“Safer to be feared than loved,” I said. “Machiavelli,” she crowed, and skipped ahead laughing—whether in a mocking gesture of her age or genuine youthful energy, I couldn’t tell. “How do you know that?” I was impressed, and liking her more every minute. A smart, fucked-up little girl. Sounded familiar. “I know tons of things I shouldn't know.”" - gillian flynn

So that one crossover got me thinking. The Sleuth Jesters and Cryptid Sightings one
What if Eclispe appeared in Cryptid Sightings?
I feel CS!Y/N would be a little confused but a little happy to find Sun & Moon's possible friend but- why is he dressed funny? No soot? No burns? Tears???? Sun/Moon doesn't recognize him. He recognizes us??? Came from pizzaplex??? That's burnt down buddy. What are you talking about?? Moons in here it's just not dark... How do you know me??? Criminal empire???? HUH?????
That would be, ah, dangerous, as Eclipse has no interest in CS!Y/N for they don't have that killer spark in their eyes.

Added also to FF ~Mod L
~*~
12. Hello, I want to request some fics for the next ITMF. Is there fics where everyone (the jiangs or whoever his family/friends is) is being overprotective over a naive, oblivious and spoiled wei ying that they regarded lan zhan as a thief who wants to steal away and defile wy? Thanks you in advance ppl ♡
~*~
13. Hey! Thanks for all you do! I was wondering if you know of any really good CSSR-centric fics for the next ITMF post. Thank you in advance!
~*~
14. Hi! For the intmf, do you have any recs for where wangxian gets together early like during the Cloud Recesses Arc? Preferably WWX's POV, and the relationship is mostly kept as a secret. But I don't mind them being shameless abt it either lol.

Unit Teambuilding - Eusine
Ah, Eusine.  Morty’s friend chasing after Suicune.  Apparently he’s just gonna show up with it now, and in shiny form.  Masters fulfilling all the Johto dreamers.  But now that he’s caught his dream, he must answer the question everyone faces when succeeding at such an all-consuming life goal.  What next?
General Overview Eusine comes in as a Water-type striker, which is a pretty loaded category. Eusine offers some interesting tools, including Whirlpool for Trap damage, and Blizzard as coverage.  Ice being such a rare offensive typing, this is a helpful option to have.  Whirlpool also kicks off his natural multiplier, a 50% bonus to move and sync damage against trapped opponents. Think Lysandre's Burn multiplier, but for Trap. Eusine also packs interesting tools in Piercing Gaze, so Whirlpool and Blizzard will never miss, and Recharging Strike, so his AoE attacks pay for themselves in CS.  To add to the fun, Eusine has three other excellent selling points.  First, his Buddy Surf is spammable no-penalty AoE with a 20% flinch rate.  While the flinch is negligible, the damage is quite good, being 160 base power.  Second, his trainer move is Anni Lillie but better, immediately capping all offensive needs and applying Condition Nullification to the party. Lastly, this guy's grid is insane.  2/5 packs everything you need for a really good Blizzard DPS set, and 3/5 offers up to 200% more sync damage, for a whopping total of 250%, and up to 60% more move damage for 110% total.
Eusine's cons are few, but notable.  First, while Buddy move is spammable, he needs to attack twice to activate it, which means you're not realistically getting any attacks in until he's under 50% HP.  Second, his Buddy move is just kinda okay for 4-bar damage, and because it's already no-penalty, damage doesn't compress, making his single-target DPS much worse. This is exacerbated by the Recharging Strike struggle of getting only one bar back in Gauntlet, on a guy with relatively limited speed control.  The slowing down of his DPS is also notable because you need to be re-applying Trap constantly.  Without it, he's not dealing the same amount of damage at all.  Lastly, he does have serious sync issues.  The major multipliers he has access to still do not push him above SEUN Siebold, and because he's a Striker, EX hits all foes, negating the benefits of Buddy Surf.  Which, outside of the spread damage, is a really bad Buddy move. 20% is a horrible flinch rate, even if it is AoE.
All that said, I promised I would talk about this in the Adaman breakdown, and Eusine is a great time to do it.  Many players have (correctly) identified Eusine as the sync pair to skip.  However, they cite his typing as the reason. Water is plentiful, we don't need more Water.  That's not the point.  Setting aside that off-typing has been a thing since the 0.5 anniversary when SS Red dropped, we have Gauntlet streaks, limited CS, and another new mode next month, all encouraging repetition of types and skills.  A sync pair's overall effectiveness matters more than type, and by effectiveness, Eusine is good.  If you like him, pull for him, he'll put in the work.
The bigger question to ask yourself is whether you have the resources.  Yes, Eusine is very good.  But is he as good as perma-Sun/Grass Rebuff/Def debuff/phys tank Adaman?  Is he as good as HailZone/triple debuff/special tank Irida?  Is he as good as Silver's Tech nuke and rapid-fire debuffing?  To me, the answer is no. Eusine offers the least compelling tools of the month, and that's the reason to skip.  Don't be fooled by the notion that type oversaturation still matters.  It doesn't, and hasn't in a very long time.  It matters less now than it ever has. The real question is whether his tools are better than his immediate competition, including the rerun of a top support in SS Morty.  And personally, I don't think he is.  He did a good job, but he's still the last winner.
EX and Move Level Eusine’s EX is almost hilariously unnecessary given how his DPS works, but his sync is also so good that it’s like...the added stats are really nice, you know?  So I’m torn on EX but ultimately it is very unnecessary.  Move Level is, as a result, also unnecessary.  DPS is mostly confined to his natural passive.  2/5 is useful for Blizzard, while 3/5 is useful for the sync power that will carve a serious niche for Gauntlet.  I will caution, there is absolutely nothing in his 4/5 or 5/5 grid worth talking about.
Team 1: Eusine, SS Kris, SS Ethan This is the team.  For all his faults, Eusine combos beautifully with the Johto trio, getting 80% move damage bonus and matched theme skills.  Kris gives little stat benefit, but does provide Rain and stacks of moves up next.  SS Ethan also provides AoE trap effect, which is divine.  The only problem is how slow Eusine is to access his buddy move, and how this means he’s effectively wasting Kris’ charity.  You have to kinda delay Kris’ decision to spam trainer move.
Team 2: Eusine, Irida/Lucian, BP Morty Blizzard focus.  Irida is the best pick, thanks to Mind Games and the Zone/Hail combo, although Lucian with debuffs is a solid option as well.  All you need then is BP Morty for defensive support.  This is the benefit of Eusine; he literally wants nothing out of his support.
Team 3: Eusine, Tech Gyarados, Skyla Budget Water.  Tech Gyarados sets Rain, and has a solid flinch rate to help disrupt.  Skyla has defense and speed.  You can probably get away with BP Morty, but I'm trying to give options that do unique things.  In this case, Skyla is a better partner for a lot of Gauntlet stages, due to how limited Recharging Strike can be there compared to CS.
Team 4: Eusine, Lodge Adaman/Kali, Tech Gyarados/Surge Gauntlet structures.  Lodge Adaman isn't a terrible partner to Eusine, offering the defensive buffs and a bit of speed on the side, as well as fixing up issues of Cobalion's -2 special attack.  Alternatively, Kali can be used for Stat Leech strats with Latias.  Tech Gyarados is a general flinch bot that also supplies Rain for Adaman, while Surge is an option to paralyze and debuff special attack against Tornadus and Uxie.  Eusine's trap effect is super valuable for Uxie, and Piercing Gaze answers Latias' evasion crap nicely, so long as other stats are debuffed.
Final Thoughts Eusine is fine.  I think he's even pretty good.  His Ice DPS is surprisingly high, all things considered, and his Water damage isn't terrible either, although calcs do show his sync below SEUN Siebold and DPS is below Kris.  It's the AoE thing that sells him, but like a lot of sync pairs with this no penalty DPS effect, his single target damage tends to be less surprising.  At least his sync is strong to compensate in Gauntlet.
