New Multifandom Fanfiction
My submission for the Cult of Chaos Discord April Challenge: If I could make myself love you, I would.
All 5 sections are standalone scenes that answer the prompt, they do not connect other than that and therefore you do not have to be familiar with all 5 fandoms to read.
The Witcher (TV) - Jaskier/Geralt
Castle - Kevin Ryan/Jenny O Malley & Kevin Ryan/Javier Esposito (implied)
Charmed (1998 TV) - Chris Halliwell/Leo Wyatt (Father/Son, not romantic)
Eureka - Zane Donovan/Jo Lupo (past) & Jo Lupo/Jack Carter (implied)
Harry Potter - Tom Riddle/Harry Potter

In honor of the whole “Barbenheimer” meme, I present a scene from a “Eureka” story called “The Night Before Christmas”, in which Stark and Carter have to assemble “Barbie’s Cyclotron Lab” before morning:
“Okay, what’s next?” Stark asked. A major portion of the cyclotron display rested precariously in his hands.
Carter studied the diagram. “You need piece 847-L from section SS2.”
“Of course I do,” Stark nodded as he looked around the pile of plastic all around him. “You know, I’m beginning to really hate the color pink…what the hell?”
“What?” Carter asked, glancing up.
“Look at this.” How Stark was managing to keep the semi-assembled cyclotron in place with his knees while rummaging for section SS2, Carter would never know. “What the hell is Barbie doing with a cat? A pink cat, no less?”
“It’s Barbie. You get used to it.” Carter reached over to his far right and handed Stark the section in question.
“This is setting a bad precedent for children,” Stark continued as he wriggled piece 847-L loose. “I mean, at the very least it should be made clear that animals are not allowed in labs except when being used for experimentation.”
“Stark, it’s make-believe,” Carter said in exasperation.
“Why can’t make-believe also serve as a valuable lesson in laboratory safety, that’s all I’m saying.”

February Fic Recs
A couple of days late, but here are the fics that I’ve really liked this past month. All of these are complete. Enjoy!
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate 3 (1), Boku no Hero Academia (2), DCU (1), Doctor Who/Eureka Crossover (1), Fullmetal Alchemist (1), Hades/Julie and the Phantoms(/Percy Jackson) Crossover (1), Merlin (2), Sk8 the Infinity (1), Supernatural (1), Teen Wolf (1)
Find January's Recs here or browse my fanfic recs tag.
Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3 Title: monster seeking monster�� Author: ushauz Pairing: Astarion/Wyll Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 5,545 Summary:ba Wyll has met vampire spawn before, all of them monstrous, but he's always liked to think there were good spawn out there somewhere not engaging in mass murder, that maybe monster hunters didn't see good monsters because good monsters weren't the ones out killing people.
Wyll hopes Astarion will be one of the different ones.
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia Title: Jailhouse Rock Author: RayShippouUchiha Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Midoriya Izuku Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 7,405 Summary: “Wouldn’t mind seeing this Midoriya for myself,” Shōta presses on undeterred.
“Yes,” Sansa hisses triumphantly.
“You planned this, you traitor,” Tsukauchi rounds on Sansa for a split second before he turns back towards Shōta, face carved from resolute stone. “And as for you meeting Midoriya? Absolutely not. I forbid it. He’s a menace with a RAP sheet longer than you are tall and you’re also a menace who enjoys chaos more than you’ll ever admit outright. The two of you meeting has Bad Idea™ written all over it in lights. Mainly for me.”
Shōta just stares at him, deeply unimpressed.
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia Title: The Adult Who Cried Wolf Author: katydid Pairing: None Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 2,524 Summary: Izuku Midoriya’s homeroom teacher at Aldera has been experiencing some unusual…incidents. Ever since Izuku’s father found out about the bullying.
Fandom: DCU Title: Batman is a Very Serious Scary Vigilante  Author: akcugrai Pairing: None Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 10,682 Summary: It starts when Nightwing accidentally calls Batman dad.
Barry thinks it's perhaps the funniest thing to happen in the history of ever. Then, he starts to notice that The Dark Knight actually does—kinda sorta maybe—act like a dad to the Gotham vigilantes?
It only gets weirder from there.
OR
5 times the League saw the Gotham vigilantes treating Batman as their dad, and 1 time they (kind of) admitted it.
Fandom: Doctor Who/Eureka Crossover Title: Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey Invisibling Thing, or Four Times Jack Carter Met The Doctor And One Time He Didn’t Author: galaxysoup Pairing: None Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 4,262 Summary: Eureka is a town full of geniuses. Naturally, the Doctor must poke it with a stick.
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist Title: transposition ciphers Author: applecrumbledore Pairing: Edward Elric/Roy Mustang Rating: Mature Word Count: 36,020 Summary: “I kissed Edward,” Roy said, more quietly than he'd ever spoken to her before. Riza’s raised eyebrows asked a question all on their own.
“Edward… Hertzmann? In signal corps, on the third—”
“Elric.” The surname hung heavy between them like it had hung between so many others before them. “But thank you for trying.”
Fandom: Hades/Julie and the Phantoms(/Percy Jackson) Crossover Title: It's an Old Song Author: breakaway71 Pairing: Julie Molina/Reggie Peters Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Word Count: 16,618 Summary: Julie dies on a Wednesday. This is not the end of the story.
An Orpheus/Eurydice retelling
Fandom: Merlin Title: Albionist Author: Galauvant Pairing: None Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 1,661 Summary: The cry sounds again, and Arthur’s feet freeze, a chill sliding down his spine. There’s something hauntingly familiar about the cadence of the sound.
It’s not quite the same, but Arthur just knows. It’s impossible, but he knows.
He draws Excalibur now, quickening his pace, but his feet are light.
Minutes later, there it is:
A white dragon- a living, breathing dragon roughly the size of a stallion, crouched in front of a cave. One of its wings is held at an odd angle, and unlike the giant monstrosity that once terrorized Camelot, this one looks gaunt and weak.
Or: In a handwavey canon divergence where Arthur knows about Merlin's magic and Aithusa escapes captivity, there are two men and a young dragon.
Fandom: Merlin Title: Words I Cannot Say Out Loud Author: MayaPleiades Pairing: Gwaine/Merlin Rating: Teen and Up Audience Word Count: 1,702 Summary: A surprise letter makes its way to Merlin, and reveals Gwaine’s feelings.
A submission for the Hey, Sweetheart fest, using the prompt “letter”.
Fandom: Sk8 the Infinity Title: my heart beats so that i can hardly speak Author: akaparalian Pairing: Hasegawa Langa/Kyan Reki Rating: Explicit Word Count: 5,717 Summary: A tale as old as time: Teen party. Seven Minutes in Heaven. Reki is maybe in over his head.
Fandom: Supernatural Title: For Us, This Present Author: breakaway71 Pairing: Gabriel/Dean Winchester Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 1,975 Summary: Years ago, Dean was told that good things do happen. He’s never had much reason to believe that. Today, he’s going to try. He’s owed a good birthday, isn’t he?
Fandom: Teen Wolf Title: Bloodsport Author: akaparalian Pairing: Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski Rating: Explicit Word Count: 3,164 Summary: "Why is that so hot," Stiles half-mumbles, eyes squeezed shut tight (it's the next best thing after the ceiling for staving off the orgasm that now feels like it's charging towards him like a freight train). "Like—and—like—is it even puppy play at that point, or petplay or whatever? Or does it just mean I'm a furry? I was probably already a furry, I'm way too into your shift—"
Or: hey, no one said werewolves can't have pup play kinks, too.

Jack sighs and decides that at least he can take comfort in the fact that the Doctor makes even Eureka scientists look like idiots, which is probably good for them.
Jack is resigned to being surrounded by people with unusual levels of intelligence (chp. 1)

Documents of Interest: Locations of Interest
Description: Locations of Interest or Nexus Points are large areas of land that have either a few anomalous properties, a lot of anomalous properties, or have barely any normal qualities. Some of these areas are under the protection of other Groups of Interest or are too close to civilian life; therefore, containment is nearly impossible. Instead of labeling them as anomalies and containing them they are instead recognized as area's where the anomalous is allowed to exist and live freely with many restrictions, a few restrictions, or no restrictions. What these locations are, where they are located, and how the Foundation deals with them are all labeled in the list below. 
***
- Nx-AA: Eureka, Southern Oregon
Area Class: Free Port
Situation: Created by the Global Occult Coalition back when it was still called the Allied Occult Coalition and under the direction of one of the original top scientists as well as one of the founders Albert Einstein. Is the main place where the Global Occult Coalition develops its top-of-the-line gadgets and weapons as it is populated by the smartest and most talented people in the world. Though of course more often than not due to poor planning and bad management things get out of hand and often their ACPA allies (mostly the SCP Foundation) have to step in to bring back control. 
- Nx-AB: New Marais, Louisiana, United States
Area Class: Free Port
Situation: Brought under foundation control after the explosive growth in the Conduit population back in the 2010's. Now under Foundation control it no longer exists on the map, since it no longer exists the Foundation has allowed the small city to manage and cultivate itself with limited Foundation regulation. Instead, the Foundation uses New Marais as a place where humanoid anomalies can live freely so that anomalous Foundation staff can vacation there. It is also where the main headquarters of the Anomalous Employment Division is located. It is a city where anomalous humanoids can live and grow up naturally, if talented enough they will later be employed by the Foundation.
- Nx-AC: Ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo, Japan
Area Class: Asphodel
Situation: A city in Tokyo that for one reason or another is home to a large number of abnormal, freakish, and even anomalous humanoids. Police, government officials, and other influential people in the city are often Foundation personnel, GOC agents, as well as followers of the Church of Maxwellism. This city is highly exposed to the public and suffers underground gang wars leading to a lack of control of the Foundation or any ACPA organization for that matter. Mobile Task Force Hermes-8 "Phantom Police" are the main Foundation force that maintains order within the Nexus Point.
- Nx-AD: Archios, Isla Nublar
Area Class: Free Port
Situation: Created in 1993 after Site-Dino was created as a place for Foundation staff and allied Persons of Interest to live alongside freely. Made to help gain trust of Persons of Interest and let them live somewhat normal lives alongside the anomalous and the Foundation. A means of building trust and kinship. Built with top of the line defensive and fallout shelters, considered the safest and best place to live. Often an area of consideration for retirement for Foundation staff.
- Nx-AE: Gravity Falls, Oregon, USA
Area Class: Asphodel
Situation: A small town so isolated that its can't even be found on the map. A seemingly normal town that is actually home to numerous anomalies. These anomalies range from ridiculously funny to completely horrific. Because the town is extremely isolated the Foundation doesn't have to intervene regularly especially since casualty ratings are shockingly low. Regardless the area is regularly monitored, and a majority of the events are left to the jurisdiction of the FBI: Unusual Incidents Unit or their superiors in PENTAGRAM.
- Nx-AF: Penguin Highway, [data expunged], Japan
Area Class: Dunwich
Situation: A Japanese area that has space and time distorted with large bubbles everywhere and penguins acting as the solo protectors of all life in the area. Essentially chaos in all aspects, especially since randomly beautiful and EDM music is played seemingly from nowhere yet for everyone to hear. Considered one of the safest areas outside of Foundation or Global Occult Coalition due to the penguins not even tolerating bullying. Is a regular area where the Dark Dragon's hang out. Because of fear of penguin attacks Persons of Interest and Group of Interest members have made a silent agreement to never attack one another, regardless of how hostile tensions are outside the Nexus Point.
- Nx-AG: Cate's Crossing, Louisiana, USA
Area Class: Asphodel
Situation: A small but strong American town with all the essentials of a good town. Is even surprisingly home to quite a few of the wealthiest people in the US. Is also however, suspected to be the home to an ancient god who survived the First War known as "The Hungry Eye". It is because of his presence that quite a bit of anomalous activity has been reported in the area. It is also the birthplace of SCP-AVC one of the most essential SCPs to the Foundation. Seems to also be a safe haven for many extraterrestrial Species of Interest on earth.

six quick and easy hacks to 🆙 the quality of your fanfiction!
as promised, here it is! i’m not here to tell you how to plot out your story, or how to write your characters’ personalities. the tips i’m sharing are more on formatting and structure, secret (not really) cheat codes to instantaneously make your already written work even better! 
my qualifications? being a tumblr hag for over five years (my even more embarrassing pre k-pop writeblr included!) so i’ve unlocked quite a bit of secrets and discovered some eurekas throughout my time here HAHAHAH. anyway, let’s start!
Tumblr media
#1 VARIETY IN PARAGRAPH LENGTHS, SENTENCE LENGTHS, AND SENTENCE STARTERS.
nothing turns me off more than seeing paragraph blocks after paragraph blocks when looking for some new fics to read, especially when you’re reading from a cramped up device such as your phone.
when i write a lengthy paragraph, i try to follow it up with a one-liner, or a mid-sized one. but it’s something i consciously keep track of— when i noticed that, “oh, this gdoc is getting a little too wordy, a little too chunky,” i make sure that my next paragraph is significantly shorter than the current one because it keeps the entire page interesting. one to two sentences of lines of paragraphs after another and another doesn’t look pretty. chunks of paragraphs after paragraphs is boring.
make your pages visually dynamic by ensuring variety.
like this, for example.
Tumblr media
→ fic: home for the bitchless.
seeing a large chunk of text and a singular line immediately after also sort of forces your reader to stick around and read an otherwise intimidating lengthy paragraph because— oh! what could have possibly led to that singular like of dialogue or thought! #subtlemanipulation you get me? 😔🤙
this rule of mine applies to sentences and phrases within the paragraph as well!
Tumblr media
→ fic: love vomit.
and as a bonus, you can use paragraph breaks and cuts to your advantage! manipulating the way a sentence or paragraph ends in a certain way makes your works more rhythmic! and, when you play it around the right way, abrupt cuts and breaks also add the right mood and drama to your work!
Tumblr media
→ drabble: the boy who cried wolf.
part three of tip number one (one…we’re still at number one…) is on sentence and paragraph starters. i keep it as a rule of thumb that if i start a paragraph with “you,” or with someones name, i don’t use it again in the next one to avoid monotony. it’s a very miniscule thing really, and i doubt that people notice this HAHAHA but this is something i religiously swear by because repetitions like this are visually boring.
Tumblr media
→ wip: sunwater.
of course, this can’t be avoided all the time, and repeating the sentence starter “You” or any other pronoun, word, or phrase can be intentionally utilized to strongly drive a point. just don’t overdo it!
Tumblr media
→ drabble: patience, patience.
Tumblr media
→ blurb: monsters don’t hide under the bed.
Tumblr media
→ fic: the psychology of strawberries.
there are other good and strategic uses for repetitions as well! we’ll get to that later.
lastly, variety in sentence and paragraph starters doesn’t simply mean changing up the first word. things can still get really boring even if you use “you” or a character’s name interchangeably if your sentence structure remains the same.
this, for example, is monotonous.
Tumblr media
the structure (and length) of all three sentences are the same. A does this. B does this. A does this. and even if you switch things up but still use the same sentence structure, it still falls flat. case in point, below, a structure i often see in a lot of fics i stumble across.
Tumblr media
those are flat. those are boring. they don’t…you know…make you feel something, even when you follow the rule of not using the same starter twice. let me try improving it by adding more variety in the sentences (+ adding a tip that i’ll be discussing right after!)
Tumblr media
the word “He” here is used twice to create a rhythm and draw emphasis, but the rest of the excerpt maintains a sense of variety to make the narrative more interesting and compelling to read.
*
#2 PICK A POV AND STICK WITH IT.
before i start a scene, a drabble, or blurb, the first question i ask myself is, “whose point of view do i want it to be in?”
one, it’s a lot neater, more organized, than omniscient point of views in my opinion (unless you’re like a super fucking skilled writer of course HAHAHHA). two, it allows for a bit of mystery, suspense, and engagement because you don’t have access to what other people are thinking about, and three— in line with the first tip— when you know whose brain you’re in when writing, it allows for more dynamic narrations, gives you an excuse to be messy because our internal thoughts are messy as well, and makes the writing a hell of a lot easier when you’re focused on monologuing one person alone!
when writing shorter fics, drabbles, or blurbs, i swear by this rule, no excuses HAHAHAH but when writing longer fics, sometimes i switch around the point of views per scene, just to make a more well rounded story.
sometimes, the point of view doesn’t even have to be any of the main character’s! writing from an external POV is also really fun and adds another layer of interest. see example below, a Jeonghan breakup fic written exclusively from the perspective of the outsiders. very fun idea! 
breakup scene written in Seungcheol’s POV.
Tumblr media
another squabble written in Seungkwan’s POV.
Tumblr media
→ wip: the breakup soup.
*
#3 REPETITIONS AND THEMES = COHESIVENESS.
this section contains tricks on how to wrap up your fics into one cohesive little present with a pretty ribbon on top! 
first is the use of repetition. use a cool funky line at the beginning of your story, and reuse/rehash/revise it at the end for a neat finish, especially when you have trouble figuring out a way to end your story (lifesaving hack! trust me!) 
i use this mostly in my shorter works—
Tumblr media
→ drabble: you’re my bucket list.
Tumblr media
→ blurb: louder.
—but it works just as well with longer fics, especially when the repetition is all throughout, and not just at the start and finish.
Tumblr media
→ fic: mogi.
sometimes, it doesn’t even have to be a repeated phrase or line! it can be a little gimmick and it’d still work to make your fic cohesive! for example, in the fic below, i use the giving of strawberry candy/strawberry kisses to tie all the different scenes together because this was initially a set of separate drabble ideas wrapped into one long fic.
Tumblr media
→ fic: the psychology of strawberries.
and for this one (another ricky fic….yes…..) i use the whole cat metaphor to do the same. 
Tumblr media
→ drabble: yours to keep.
the next tip to make your work cohesive is to grab a singular theme, object, whatever, and take advantage of it for your narration HAHAHAHHA this can be better explained by looking at the examples below.
theme: citrus.
Tumblr media
→ drabble: citrus in the morning.
theme: storm.
Tumblr media
→ blurb: blizzard.
the above examples are my shorter works, but it can work for longer fics as well! just check out this 36k word monster HAHAHAHHA.
theme: seasons.
Tumblr media
→ fic: love vomit.
these are very simple ways to make your fic more put together! even if it’s just a simply blurb about a confession, adding a theme to aid the imagery bumps your fic quality to a +++++
*
#4 THROW AWAY THE Y/N’S!
now this one is quite honestly just a personal nitpick HAHAHHAHA but seeing the word Y/N when i’m reading something really pulls me out of my immersion. (and i only stopped using Y/N’s in my fics at the start of my 2023 comeback….so if you see my older works still using it…hahahha please don’t prosecute me).
anyway, you can do this either by embedding it in the narration—
Tumblr media
→ fic: star studded baggage.
—or by using nicknames and titles instead!
Tumblr media
→ wip: the breakup soup.
Tumblr media
→ fic: can’t handle this.
*
#5 GET INTO THE (UN)NECESSARY SPECIFICS.
instead of just saying “Your professor called you,” grab a random last name and say “Prof Yoon asked to see you in his office.” instead of saying you went to the cafe, the mall, the store, grab an actual place or make one up because no one in the world says “they’re going to the cafe to grab a frappe,” (unless the store’s name is actually The Cafe). people say they’re going to Dunkin Donuts or Coffeebreak or wherever.
sure it’s not plot relevant, sure it’s not integral, but little things like this make your narrative and dialogue a lot more realistic and less awkward. it makes it seem like your characters are actually living inside a world of their own.
*
#6 GRAMMAR AND FORMATTING.
these are given HAHA but when i talk about grammar, i mean making sure that the commas and periods are consistently inside the quotation marks when writing dialogue. i mean minimizing the use of italics because overusing it can ruin the reading experience of a good piece (i was guilty of this too!) and i mean making sure that the use of tenses are consistent all throughout (unless if it’s a creative and plot choice), because all these things really matter if you want your fic, drabble, or blurb to be of overall high quality.
Tumblr media
and that’s basically it! hope these tips help somehow...hope i’m not revealing my secrets for naught and someone can actually put them to good use HHAHAHHA what’s most important obviously is that you’re having fun with what you’re writing…etc. etc. insert inspirational you can do it speech here.
anyway, happy new year! and happy reading and writing<33

Jaeger Piloting 101: How Rangers Get Into The Thing & Other Basic Stuff
Hello Pacific Rim fans, today I am doing a post on the topic of how rangers get into the conn-pod, and take control of the Jaeger, plus do a quick look at conn-pod interiors in general! I'll be using pictures sourced from movie-screencaps.com to illustrate the process.
Before I proceed, I'd like to remind folks that Lady Danger's canonical name contains a racial slur. It will be depicted here in screenshots, but I encourage fans to use the name "Lady Danger" in casual conversation, fanfiction etc. It doesn't matter if the name was referencing an old engine, it doesn't matter if no harm was intended by it; a slur's a slur.
Before the rangers enter the conn-pod, they must first suit up. This isn't something they can do on their own - they have a dedicated team of assistant techs to help them into their drivesuits. As we can see here, Raleigh and Yancy Becket's team have the name of their jaeger printed on the backs of their jumpsuits:
Tumblr media
If you read my earlier post on jaegers, you know that drivesuits come in two layers. Here's Raleigh and Yancy already wearing the first layer, while one of their technicians assists:
Tumblr media
Next, the technicians help them into the drivesuit's second, armored layer. On the right side of the first image is the area where the drivesuits are kept when not in use:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then we have this thing that's pulled out of a special storage box and put over the spinal area, connecting the back of the armor together:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We also see Yancy and Raleigh pull on their helmets, and this strange liquid drains out. (It makes me think of the orange juice Raleigh was drinking earlier.) It's not clear how common this feature is, but we know it's not universal - the refurbished Lady Danger doesn't have this, and Cherno Alpha's helmets don't look it would even be possible.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next up, the pilots enter the conn-pod. Note those two light gray things on the floor in the first picture; that's part of the Pilot Motion Rig. Also note the dark gray things hanging from the ceiling in the second picture; that's also part of it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once the pilots step into the bottom part of Pilot Motion Rig, metal clamps lock their feet into place. On the right, Raleigh is already locked in; on the left, Yancy is not yet locked in:
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, more technicians help pilots get into the upper part of the Pilot Motion Rig.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At this point, something magical and wonderful absolutely terrifying else happens: the floor pulls away, leaving the pilots standing like:
Tumblr media
If you look down once the floor's pulled back, it's uh. Quite the view.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the case of Lady Danger, a nuclear-powered Mark-3, this is where technicians drop the head to connect it to the body. (The head is stored separately to reduce radiation exposure that might damage the delicate circuits.)
At this point, the Beckets are looking at this in front of them:
Tumblr media
As the head connects, the pilot-to-pilot protocol is engaged, the computer system fires up, and the Beckets see a LOADING screen:
Tumblr media
In the Anchorage Shatterdome, Lady Danger was wheeled out through a door on a rolling platform. At this point, the neural handshake was activated with a countdown of fifteen seconds.
The neural link is established, and you got two people in control of a Jaeger!
From here, stuff often depends on the specific jaeger, as control systems can be pretty different. For example, we see Raleigh and Yancy holding these round things in the arms they're controlling at the beginning of the film, but the refurbished Lady Danger doesn't seem to use them, and neither do the other jaegers.
Tumblr media
I'd also like to contrast Cherno Alpha's drivesuits with Lady Danger's drivesuits for a moment, just to emphasize how different designs can be. As you can see, each pilot's drivesuit has cables connected to the arm they're controlling:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also as I was looking at pictures of jaeger interiors, I noticed something curious about Lady Danger vs. Striker Eureka.
The original Lady Danger has a high console like this:
Tumblr media
The refurbished Lady Danger has one positioned lower:
Tumblr media
Striker Eureka has both a high and low console:
Tumblr media
So make of that what you will, lol.
And that's the basics of boarding and controlling a jaeger! If you haven't seen it already I also recommend checking out my other post on jaeger lore, where I compiled everything I could find out about them from various Pacific Rim medias. And you might also read Drifting, as conceptualized by Travis Beacham if you're interested in knowing more about the drifting aspect, and maybe Drift Hangover Lore if the possibility of sentient jaegers appeals to you.
Happy monster punching, or whatever it is you people do out there. *Slinks back into the bog*

DRAG OR DIE: Sneak Peek #4
Book 1 Chapter 6: In which Eureka is fat shamed by one of her many captives, and Miz Cracker is having absolutely none of it
TW: Fat shaming & violence
Cracker stood over Greg, her hand firmly on the table next to his bowl. She leaned down close to him; her eyes glowered at him. "Say sorry."
"Excuse me?" Greg wiped soup from the corner of his mouth.
"You heard." Cracker raised her brows. "Pretty sure it’s not in your contract to be a fuckin’ cunt. Say fucking sorry."
Again, April and Kandy exchanged a look of anxiety.
"Girl, it's not worth it." Eureka grabbed Cracker's arm, trying to usher her away. But the blonde's feet remained firm on the ground.
"Listen. You work for us. So we can do whatever the fuck we want." Greg sneered.
"No. We work for Smoke. Not some mall cop rejects." Cracker leaned closer.
"Why don't you shut your damn mouth before someone shuts it for you?" Greg hissed. 
Cracker scoffed, pulling herself back up. But her eyes remained on Greg.
"Come on, man," James input. "She has a point. Fat jokes? The bitch already has enough on her plate."
James and Greg were silent for a moment, before erupting into a fit of laughter.
Yikes. Kandy wanted to kick his ass so bad.
"That was a good one, man." Greg laughed.
Cracker was silent, but the expression on her face spoke volumes. She wasn't having this. She moved toward James's side of the table, and before he even had the chance to ask what she wanted now, she put a hand on the side of his bowl. It was scalding hot. Perfect.
She slid it towards the edge, the bowl falling over and the soup spilling onto James' crotch.
The guard was already on his feet, holding his arms out at his sides as if to protect himself from any more pain. He was yelling, the burning proving to be too much.
"You fucking psychotic bitch!" James yelled at her, his face as red as his balls were going to be.
Eureka tugged on Cracker's arm. "Come on!"
Cracker maintained a smile as she allowed herself to be dragged from the room.
"Wait 'til the boss hears about this!" Greg yelled, trying to help his coworker.
April and Kandy followed Eureka and Cracker out of the room. There was no way they were staying with the angered men.
In the corridor, Eureka playfully shoved Cracker on the shoulder. But her face only proved her still shocked state. "Girl, what the fuck was that??"
"Oh, please. You think I'm going to let some body-shaming assholes get away with that kind of shit?"
"What are you gonna do when Smoke comes asking questions?"
"I’ll…explain what happened." Cracker answered as if it was nothing.
"Bitch, you know him. He doesn't give a fuck about what his guys say to us."
"Well…God, I don't know. I'll just make something up."
"Whatever you say, girl."
A short moment of silence fell among the queens, April and Kandy still trailing behind, feeling just as uneasy as they had when they left the study.
Eureka and Cracker looked at each other. And then erupted into a bout of laughter.
