I was SO inspired by this post, I've been thinking about it literally all day. Elana belongs to @that-one-thespian!!
TWs: burning mention, knife mention, torture, kidnapping, self-sacrifice, recapture (sorta??)
Mariano hummed to himself as he shifted gears, feeling the rumble of his car's tires against the dirt road. His phone felt like it weighed an impossible amount in his pocket, just waiting for him to pull into the driveway to break the news to the team about what was happening. Elana wasn't going to be happy with him, but this was necessary.
Marito, come to the attached address. I want to talk. It's been too long. Luis
Mariano knew what was waiting for him 3.7 miles away. Luis had never been one for tricks, not really, but Mariano knew what a talk meant when he wasn't your ally. A blowtorch, and a table, and a knife were waiting. Not ropes. Not restraints. He didn't need those anymore.
It wouldn't be pleasant, but it would get Elana back alive and in one piece.
She would be okay. She would even be able to drive if needed. It was the best case scenario--especially since if the rest of the team got involved, more people would get hurt. Luis knew their phobias. He'd been merciful so far; Elana hadn't been tied beyond what was necessary to keep her in the old, rickety trailer. There were no cages yet, no blindfolds or muzzles or freezers or water basins.
Mariano would make sure it stayed that way.
He turned down the dirt road, the landscape growing ever more rural by the minute. No one would be around to help. That was for the best. When he finally screamed, he wouldn't have to worry about getting the police called.
Mariano eased his car into the driveway, the gravel crunching under the weight of his sedan, and put it into park. He pulled out his phone. He called Archer.
It went to voicemail.
"Hi, Archer." Mariano's voice was soft and sweet as he started talking. "You're not going to be happy with me, and I'm sorry. Luis caught Elana, and he wanted to make a deal. He just wants me for an hour or two in exchange for only roughing her up. I'm sending you the address, it'll take you guys about an hour and a half to get here, but there's a shortcut on exit 35 northbound if you're worried. I love you, and I promise I'll see you in a little bit."
The sound of the call ending felt like signing his own death certificate.
He was being dramatic. This wasn't anything that would kill him, though, Mariano knew that. Luis was a man of his word. Mariano had done this before, every time he walked into the training room. Luis just wanted to torture him.
There would be a blowtorch, a table, and a knife. Mariano could do this. He stepped out of his car and pocketed his phone again. He didn't bother locking his car as he walked up the wobbly steps to the front door and knocked.
Luis greeted him with a smile. Behind him in an armchair sat Elana, cuffed and bound and bruised, the fury in her expression melting into horror and understanding. "Ah, Marito!" Luis drew him into a hug that Mariano returned. He smelled like lighter fluid and pain, just how Mariano remembered. "So good of you to join us. Elana said you wouldn't make it, but I thought I still knew you."
Mariano laughed, easy as he stepped inside. "Yes, yes, you know me, Luis." He sent an apologetic smile towards Elana.
"Now," Luis said, easing the front door shut again and flipping the deadbolt. Elana started to struggle harder, muffled shouts ringing through the air. "Mariano, tell me: do you prefer your arms or your legs?"

uh oh, more insane theories from the local Lucatiel Simp
Y'all know the drill by now.
So relating to my last post, the second theory I have concerning the Darklurker is that it is the last fragment of Manus' being, similar to the queens within the game.
First, an explanation of the queens within ds2 in case you're one of those poor fucks who follows me but doesn't play ds2:
Within Dark Souls, one of the most important entities lorewise is Manus, the Father of the Abyss. His soul, contrary to those of the other Lords, was dark, borne from the shadows that linger on the edge of a fire's light (in my opinion. He did possess the Dark Soul, but it's not really specified what made it different, apart from its name and apparent power).
However, Manus wasn't manus when he found it. He was the Furtive Pygmy, and actually split the Dark Soul into fragments prior to his first death, which led to the creation of humankind.
Later on, people from Oolacile, a land of Golden Sorcery that (ironically) manipulated light, dug his corpse up and at the behest of the Darkstalker Kaathe (one of the Abyssal serpents who manipulate the world from shadow) performed terrible and cruel experiments upon it.
These experiments, coupled with the theft of the Pygmy's amulet, drove its lingering soul mad, causing the birth of Manus and the complete devastation of Oolacile, and the creation of the place that would become known as the Abyss.
The main character of Dark Souls 1, the Chosen Undead, eventually destroys Manus, and that's the end. Or so we thought.
As it turns out, parts of manus persisted within the Abyss, emerging thousands of years later as four (or five, if you think Mytha is one) women, each borne from one of his Negative emotions. Alsanna from his Fears, Elana from his Wrath, Nashandra from his Want, and while Nadalia isn't specified, a lot of people think she is his Loneliness.
Now, something you may have noticed is that none of these are particularly good things, which makes sense. The birth of Manus was not a happy event, and I think that most goodness was driven from his Soul upon his birth.
Most.
My main theory for the Darklurker (took long enough, eh?) is that it is the virtues of Manus. Those better aspects of him that were nearly lost during the transformation into the progenitor of the boundless dark within men. The Darklurker's lack of a voice at all, its ability to wield magic, and its pseudo-angelic appearance reminds me of a fallen angel, which is notably different from the appearance of the Abyssal Daughters. They, for the most part, resemble darker beings such as Demons, Grim Reapers, or horribly twisted human forms. The otherwordly appearance of the Darklurker makes me feel like its nature is much less grounded, and more abstract. Hence, the virtues of Manus.
anyway sorry for the rambling, I just realized i have a semi-captive audience. Love y'all moots.

Confined to bed rest for Mariano?
BTHB 2023 - Fill 15 - Confined to Bed Rest
Tumblr media
You know what anon, he sure fucking IS confined to bed rest after what Royal did to him! The team still belongs to @that-one-thespian and I've been having SO much fun hashing this out with them c:
The invitation - The party - The aftermath
TWs: broken bones, gore, aftermath of torture, concussions, effects of a traumatic brain injury on speaking, mention of drugs in a medical setting
Nine hours. It was nine hours from the time Archer all but ran inside the clinic with the bloody bundle of clothes he called Mariano to the time Jewel finally came out of surgery. Bastian didn't know people could look like that and still be alive later.
Mariano's chest had been bent the wrong way, like a dented car door. His hair had been a bloody, tangled mess. He was nothing but slack limbs and too-pale skin.
He'd looked dead.
Jewel wouldn't have asked for so many surgical packs and drapes to be set out for a corpse, though. She wouldn't have let Archer or Fletcher give that much blood to a corpse. She wouldn't have operated until well past sunset on a corpse.
Bastian couldn't even be in the building. He sat out in Elana's Feelings Clearing, seething, his chest just about broiling from how he wanted to raze things to the ground. "You need to stay." Archer had said when Wren had located where Royal was. "We need to be careful when we get Mariano out of there." He was firm, but not domineering. A steel wall of determination. "Keep the clinic safe. Please. We're going to need it."
In the end, Bastian had only stayed because he recognized the fury that Archer refused to let past his eyes. He'd seen that same look in Mariano's eyes before. He knew he'd had it in his own. Archer would tear apart that building with his bare hands before he let anything more happen to Mariano. The whole team would.
So Bastian stayed. He stayed, feeling that wavering, flickering connection to his Mariano hang on by a thread. And when the team got back, with Elana bleeding from the middle and Bastian's hands too unsteady to even help clean her up, he left for the clearing. Jewel didn't need more distractions to contend with while she worked.
Archer joined him not long after.
When the sun had sunk below the horizon, Bastian and Archer went back inside. Mariano was tucked into a bed, draped in a hospital gown instead of the loose pajamas the team usually kept on hand for injuries that needed surgery. He was less bloody, less...entirely wrong. His breathing was slow and deep, supported by the oxygen cannula at his nose. Most of the blood had been cleaned away, with bandages and stitches as the only clues to the warpath that Royal's bat had been on across his body.
Fletcher perched at his side on a chair, holding one of Mariano's hands in both of his own. Bastian could see the dried tear-tracks a mile away. "Hey." He said, one scaly hand coming to rest between Fletcher's shoulder blades.
"Hey." Fletcher said, his eyes never quite leaving Mariano.
"Jewel give a verdict?" Bastian asked after some quiet, watching the silent forming of peaks and valleys on Mariano's heart monitor. Jewel wouldn't lie to them, even if it was regarding a friend.
Fletcher nodded. "He's...she said tonight would be the...the hardest." His voice wavered, and Bastian felt him shiver under his palm. "And if...when he wakes up tomorrow, we'll know more." Wordlessly, he pulled Fletcher against his side, letting him press his face into Bastian's hip. His jeans had seen worse than tears and snot from people he liked a whole lot less.
Bastian settled into a chair beside Fletcher, giving him a shoulder to lean on that wasn't singed or bandaged. Archer took Mariano's other side, his laptop's glow carefully angled away from Mariano's face. Bastian couldn't even blame him. Even with enough drugs to keep a horse unconscious working through Mariano's body, Bastian habitually kept his phone's brightness on its lowest setting.
Bastian had never hated how Mariano slept more than he did that night. Hands folded at his stomach and still as a statue, he looked like he belonged on the pillow of a coffin instead of a clinic sickbed. Archer and Fletcher seemed to have the same idea, each of them taking one of his hands in their own. With his good arm at his side, he just seemed exhausted.
Exhausted, and as it turned out the next morning, deeply concussed. When Bastian woke up from an involuntary nap, Fletcher and Archer were already holding a drowsy Mariano between them like he was made of porcelain. He was awake, barely, but also visibly elated when his eyes met Bastian's. Jewel had to have drugged him up well.
"Bastian...good morning." Mariano said, drifting languidly from word to word. "How..." He struggled for a moment, and Bastian could see him searching, translating, and searching again when he couldn't come up with the phrases he wanted. "How are your...how is your...heart?"
Bastian stood with a snapping, popping stretch that made his sides shake and his head spin. "Don't worry about me right now." He sighed, rolling his shoulders as he leaned over the bed. His lips met Mariano's forehead carefully, one hand resting feather-light on one of his shoulders. He could feel the sturdy stitches under the thin gown. It felt like he could snap Mariano in half if he wasn't cautious. "You're the one who can't talk right."
Mariano snorted indignantly and tried to look away like he always did when Bastian teased him, only to groan and squeeze his eyes shut. "I...I speak just fine. It's the...the English words. Not my...brain that is the issue." He mumbled, not opening his eyes again. "Bats, no bats...it does not matter."
Bastian laughed, low and soft as he kissed Mariano's cheek this time. "Shh. English or bats, don't stress yourself out, stupid. Just relax." He straightened up, popping his back once again. "And don't even try to get outta that bed, or you'll have Archer, Fletcher, me, and Jewel after you."
"I do not think my...my legs know their jobs enough to do...that." Mariano muttered, beginning to relax again as one of Fletcher's hands started delicately combing through his hair. "I will, treasure...I will stay."
"So..." Bastian started, keeping his voice low as Mariano melted back into sleep. He tugged the blankets up to his mage's chin, not able to keep his eyes away from the clinic walls as his face heated up. He wasn't going to deal with that new pet name just then. Current Bastian simply did not have the capacity to process anything else. That was for later Bastian, who hadn't been run through an emotional blender by some weird, rich guy the day before. "So I'm gonna order breakfast. What's the doc's favorite? Figure we all deserve something nice today."

Sometimes baked goods are just the aesthetic you need for a doll. I felt like Elana fits the overall pre-holiday time a lot with her color theme so I got her out.
