INTO THE BEAT OF THE NIGHT — masterlist (18+ minors dni) — ONGOING
summary: frankie morales thought he had himself figured out by now. he liked both men and women, had dated both in the past. but when someone that challenges what he thinks that means comes into his life, in an unlikely place, he truly learns who he is, and more importantly, who he loves.
series warnings: discussions of sexuality/gender, limited knowledge of the military (i make gifs and write fic now, i'm not a miracle worker), discussions of drug addiction/recovery, an abundance of goth references/stereotypes (because that's fun), frankie/will/benny/santiago being uneducated and thus not knowing/saying the wrong things sometimes but being supportive, unprotected piv sex (wrap it up!), handjobs, fingering, more to be added as it happens.
oc/love interest is non-binary and afab. they like penetrative sex and their genitals are referred to as a pussy. they're described as very androgynous. if you are non-binary, you do not owe anyone androgyny to be non-binary. this character is a work of fiction and does not speak for/represent all non-binary people. a lot of this character's experiences/opinions are very similar to my own.
if you have any questions/concerns, i encourage you to reach out to me directly or conduct your own research on the matter. thank you.

incredible art of river and frankie commissioned by the talented @lights-on-the-ridge
there are three separate playlists for this fic. one for the fic itself, mostly for vibes/plot points. one for river, full of music they listen to. and one for frankie, full of music he listens to. take your pick at whichever one you wanna vibe to!
there's also an official pinterest board for all your vibe and aesthetic needs~
thank you so much for taking a chance on my first real fic! ♥
Can't have Mifty without Lindsay. They get sad when seperated.
Since I've been refining and changing Lindsay's backstory again, their design necessitated changing with it.
Namely they're not pasty anymore. They are Nex's sibling, and I figured they should have matching features. And now their natural hair colour is dark blue.
Changed their signature colour to a blue/green, it just looked nicer, and most importantly FINALLY found a good place to put their initial.
Lindsay is super alt and loves piercings, so their L is now an earring. Feeling big brained for that.
Only thing I didn't change is that they're still a twink.
I feel like Lindsay is finally a character and not just an extension of Mifty. They are no longer just Ken.
I've recently joined a lovely art server and the challenge for this month was to design a mascot/server's avatar! I was super excited and got to work asap and this is what I came up with! ✨
Her name's Mead cause she's from 'The Meadow'! 🌸 They are an elf enby adventurer who is not a fan of fighting but can hold themselves in a fight if needed be! 💪
Their pet companion is a cat-moth named Luna! 🌙 ✨
She spends her free time collecting new plants to figure out what they can be used for! 🌿 And is an aspiring alchemist! 🧪
This is Toushi. They are destined to become a sassy fabulous parent. I however do not know how this would happen, soooo.....
(Partner's gender only relevant for option 3, in a sense that they need to be able to give birth regardless of gender identity; Toushi has male parts but identifies as nonbinary)
(momdad bc they dont care which the kid(s?) calls them lol)
“Iron Maiden, huh?” They teased.
“What, I don’t look like I listen to Iron Maiden?” Frankie smiled, a little of his confidence coming back now that River was here. All of the comfort and teasing was still there from their texts.
River hummed thoughtfully, one ring-clad finger running over the side of Eddie’s face on Frankie’s torso. “I didn’t say that. Just thought it was an interesting choice,” they grinned, looking back up at him.
Frankie blinked down at them, following their finger that had yet to leave. “Interesting?” he squeaked, swallowing around another lump in his throat.
River chuckled and took their hand away, shaking their head in amusement. “Don’t worry about it. C’mon, you promised me a dance, remember?”
