#fall writing challenge

Tumblr media
In honor of spooky season, sweater weather, and all things autumn, I'm hosting my first writing challenge! I started writing nearly a year ago because I was inspired by the beauty of the season, and I thought why not organize something where others could join in and celebrate the many aspects that make this time the best.
For the challenge, I'd like you to incorporate some fall vibes and activities into a fic or moodboard. It can be anywhere from taking a stroll down a leafy street with your fictional fave, baking together, cozying up by the fire, wearing their flannel, visiting a pumpkin patch, or watching a scary movie; anything that reminds you of this enchanting time of year plus a little catch I’ll describe below 🍂🎃🧡
This writing challenge will open today and has no deadline.
Rules, guidelines, and optional prompts are under the cut! 
Rules: 
Must be 18+ or older. 
You don’t have to follow me to participate.
There is no deadline, follow your muse. 
No incest/pedophilia/necrophilia/bestiality/ddlg/water sports/💩
Please tag any and all potential triggers with proper warnings e.g. (Fluff, smut, dark etc.) 
Original works or must be able to be read as a standalone if it’s part of a series.
If you want to withdraw at any point, it’s no problem just lmk!
Guidelines:
There is no minimum or maximum word count.
If your fic is over 200 words please use the “read more” function.
You can write for any Marvel character, in universe or in any AU. I’ll also read for whatever SS and CE character you’re into except Jeff Gillooly and Tommy Lee. You may also write for Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson or a Top Gun: Maverick character. No RPF, please. Also no OFCs, reader inserts only.
Send me an ask letting me know that you want to participate, then tag me when you post and tag your fic or moodboard with #fallinginlovewritingchallenge 
And the catch that makes this a challenge is – the words “falling in love” MUST come up in your entry at least once if you’re writing. You can change it to past or present tense e.g. (“fell in love” or “fall in love”); whatever variation you need to fit the vibe you’re creating.♡
I will read and reblog your work before adding them to a masterlist!
And feel free to send me an ask or dm if you have any questions or if I can help you better understand the season. I'm so excited to see what you all come up with!
Please note that you don’t have to use the prompts and au’s, they’re just there for inspiration and more than one person can use the same one ✨
Prompts:
“You’re comfy.”
“I’ll be here to protect you.”
"Here we are, home sweet home."
“Stop flirting.”
“Are you sure?”
“Do you like what you see?”
"Let’s go somewhere, just you and me.
“Your hands are warm.”
“I can’t sleep, can I stay here?”
“I’ve been waiting all my life for you.”
“I know you still love me.”
“Fancy seeing you here. 
“I know what you need. Hold on.”
“I’m scared.”
“Are you… jealous?”
"Baby, I could do this all day."
“I can’t think straight with you.”

ok so i’m thinking of doing a couple of things:
1) Kinktober will morph into Freaky Fall (do i make this an official challenge? don’t tempt me with a good time…) because i have too many plans for the amount of free time i have now and i’d love to extend the concept of kinktober beyond just October
2) i will be bringing back characters i haven’t written for in a while (probably since like two years ago?) because some characters just work better for certain prompts
3) i will be introducing fic for some new characters that i haven’t written for yet due to new hyperfixations
4) because of this, i will temporarily be bringing back reader fic because i do not have enough brain power to come up with a new oc for every character & smutty little one shot
5) i’m toying with the idea of introducing third-person fic without going full OC for the purposes of small, challenge-based fic
i mean, step one is to like… actually finish writing even one prompt
a huge thank those of you who have stuck with me during my hiatus and a preemptive thank you to those that support me moving forward 💕
all my love to you guys in my favorite season 🧡🍂
also, my inbox (and anon) are open for any suggestions, comments, ideas… anything!

Fall Fluff / Autumn Angst Content Creator Challenge
Tumblr media
I am so excited to announce this autumn-themed content creator challenge I am co-hosting with @violettduchess. As you can see from the title, this challenge is all about fluff and angst - some may consider this an alternative to Kinktober as there is no smut.
Rules:
This challenge will start on September 15 and conclude on November 15. Sometime after that date, we will create a masterlist of all works submitted as part of the challenge.
This challenge is open to all content creators - fan artists, fanfic writers and everyone and anyone in between.
While we are both content creators for the Ikemen series fandom, creators for other otome games are welcomed and encouraged to participate.
As this is a SFW challenge, there are no age limits - minors are welcome to participate.
There are 14 prompts as listed below - the creator may choose either fluff or angst for each prompt. Remember - no smut (that's what Kinktober is for).
You may post for one day or all fourteen days or anything in between - there is no pressure to post for each day.
Tag your work with #fall fluff autumn angst ccc so that we may find your works and add them to our master list. You may also tag @aquagirl1978 and @violettduchess as well.
Feel free to use the banner above when posting works for this challenge.

All Fall Weekly Writing Challenges Original Post
September 3-9
Distraction Elimination Challenge: There’s something you’re wasting your time on. You know what it is. Avoid it like the plague for a full day (or the full week) and spend your time writing instead.   Have you tried turning off distractions for a day? A week? How did it go for you?
A huge portion of internet and media content is predatory on my time and attention - I click, and whoosh, there goes an hour of my life. I don't come away thinking, 'I enjoyed reading that book!' 'cute video!' or 'What a great TV show!' Instead, I feel like from a moment of boredom, frustration, or habit, I automatically turned on the distraction, and I wasted my time on pointless content. This is a sign to recalibrate and establish a balance between writing time and junk media time. I avoided my chief distractor (YouTube) for this week and (though I am not posting it now) I am happy to say I got through an awkward, sticky part of my WIP. I sat down and got to work. The forest app is a fun tool I like for focusing. You plant a virtual tree, and if you use your phone while it's growing, it dies. Here are my trees for that week:
Tumblr media
I feel like I need to give a caveat here: this strategy works best for me short term. After a week, even with distractions off, I see my productivity go down. I need time to think about a project passively, in the back of my head as well as actively, putting words on the page. Those distractions aren't zero value all the time, but they definitely need to be controlled. Also, it may be helpful to seek out better-quality content during breaks. Book > Lazy Internet Article. Award Winning Movie > short junk videos.

humbly requesting dad!mike,,, like literally anything. this man is so tired but he’s such a dad type of tired if you get what i mean
OH MAN,,,, YEAH! i hope this was what you were looking for!!
Tumblr media
the sun beats down on mike through the thick glass of his windshield, forcing him to pull the sun visor down. he inches forward in the car line - he really should just put the car into park. he's half-distracted as someone behind him honks and it takes a few seconds for mike to realize it's at him, mumbling an apology that will never be heard as he pulls up.
mike needs a recharge. he's surprised himself over the years, watching as he has become the type of person that gets energized from being around others instead of from being alone like he had been for years.
although, this seems to only apply to family - mike still can't stand being around strangers for too long but can feel his battery be replenished the minute he's home.
mike watches as a teacher helps a smaller kid into the car in front of his, watching the parent turn back and make sure the child was buckled up before driving away. mike finds himself smiling and it's his turn now. he can feel his demeanor softening, the anticipation to see a piece that would make him feel a little more whole again rising in his throat. mike smiles at the teacher who leans close to his car, examining the numbers on the tag that dangles from the rear view mirror, quietly memorizing them while she goes back inside to find the child with the matching number.
but she comes back empty-handed. mike tries not to frown but his heart is beginning to race as he rolls down the window, only faintly aware that he is holding up the line.
there's a brief conversation between mike and the helpful teacher who tells mike his child has already been picked up, eyes glancing to the car behind him. mike gets the message, though he'd like to ask for her to just double-check, pulling into a parking spot out of the way of others. his teeth catch the inside of his cheek as he thinks, thousands of thoughts milling around his head.
his nokia begins to ring and mike answers it haphazardly. he blinks quickly once he hears your voice on the other end.
"hi," you start, sweet as ever. "are you almost home?" there's a natural curiously in your voice, the end of your sentence dipping up in question. mike glances at the time - yes, he'd usually be home by now.
"uh," mike starts, a warm feeling settling over his cheeks, suddenly seriously considering that maybe today wasn't mike's turn to pick up his kid. "yeah, i'm almost there."
there's a bit of silence as you hesitate, waiting for an explanation from mike that doesn't come.
but then you pipe up again and mike can hear the smile in your voice. "10 minutes?"
"less," mike promises, saying goodbye with a kiss he wishes he could be placing on your lips rather than against the speaker of his tiny phone.
mike seeks you out quickly, stopping you from pulling out plates for dinner with his strong hold around your body. he presses his lips lazily against your jaw, tickling your skin, voice low as he greets you a little tiredly.
you don't have the chance to ask where he's been before a small body coming racing over, wrapping around mike's legs and asking him for you.
"what took you so long?" a muffled voice whines and mike has to crouch down and wrap his warm arms around his child to begin soothing that tiny frown. "you're usually here early on tuesdays."
"tuesday," mike muses quietly, picking up his kid as he rises. "today's tuesday..."
you can't stifle your laugh, pressing kisses to both heads and placing two different hands on two different backs
"i think daddy got confused about what day it is," you grin and mike tries to frown.
"you need a calendar," the small voice chimes again, this time muffled from against mike's shoulder.
a laugh bursts out of mike and he moves to move the little body from his arms to a seat at the dining table. "yeah, i think i do," he admits with a smile, walking back over to the kitchen to help with the task he'd interrupted.
mike listens intently about a fight that had happened on the playground, another in the cafeteria, and about spilled paint in art class, stories told through bites of food and details clarified by questions thrown in by you and mike.
it's mike's turn to clean up while it's up to you to wrangle the little one into the shower.
mike loses himself in his thoughts again, mindlessly wiping bits of food off the counter, not realizing you were calling his name until he feels his back-and-forth motion of his hand come to a halt.
"hey," you call, voice as affectionate as ever. "where's your head?"
mike looks into your eyes and blinks for a few moments, before sighing and burying his face in the crook of your neck, seeking the comfort of your familiar scent. "i don't know," he groans and you quietly try not to laugh.
your apologetic hands come up to soothe him, touch against his back soothing his muscles. he picks up his head and looks at you, at your eyes and the curve of your nose and how it comes in to become your mouth. he stares at your lips quietly before pressing his own against them, feeling his body fully relax at the connection.
"ewwww!" a familiar voice shrieks but mike, at this point, is immune. he lingers in his spot for a few seconds, not quite wanting to let go but unable to continue without oxygen.
there's soft laughter from you and mike, reminders that it's time for bed making the smallest person in the room even smaller. then an idea strikes.
"can i sleep with you guys tonight?" the quiet voice pleads hopefully, hands clasped and eyes wide.
you and mike exchange a glance and small smiles. mike scoops the child up, nodding. a deal is struck and small cheers are made.
your kid jumps onto bed enthusiastically and you're worried the energy won't wear off by the time you all need to sleep. you and mike are careful climbing into bed, cautious of the small limbs that lay sprawled out. mike smiles as he feels his arm get pulled by a smaller one, feeling your hand and grinning when he looks over to see you've gotten the same treatment.
there's pleading for a bedtime story and you and mike take turns, adding in new bits and twists - though you have to take over as mike's words begin to turn into incoherent mumbles.
"keep going," mike manages to get out, half-asleep, shifted in his position so his arm is protectively thrown around the two other bodies with him, the tiniest one humming in agreement. your words are soothingly sweet, lulling not only your child to sleep but mike, too.
you comply, continuing to tell the now nonsensical story to a partially unconscious audience, purposefully leaving long bits of silence between each of your sentences. mike's fingers will tap against your waist occasionally, signaling to you that his brain has not fully drifted off just yet.
it only takes a few more lines. you pause your words again, lie still to wait if there's a tap, listen closely to the sounds of quiet breathing. your eyes are adjusted to the darkness and see two pairs of eyes closed, two sets of chests rising and falling.
you're careful not to move too much, pulling the blanket up higher.
"goodnight," you whisper softly, hoping maybe your message will make its way to them in their dreams.
the warmth of two bodies next to yours and the gentle rhythm of breathing take you out quickly, dragging you into the same state as those around you.
throughout the night, the three of you entangle yourselves even more, arms wrapped around torsos and small hands clutching onto the soft fabric of pajamas.
there's really nothing quite like it.
Tumblr media
requests for mike schmidt are open!

gotta urgent need for some not-quite-yet punkflower where hobie is chillin in some rubble post-(successful) battle all knackered out n miles is visiting (idk bc he just told his parents abt spiderman n it went well so he's bursting at the seems with love at being accepted n all yea? he's gotta tell someone, and why not him? why not hobie? it's no one else but hobie he's gotta tell, if he's being honest with himself [denile is not a river in his egypt, ok pav?] so yeah, he finds himself on 138) n catches the tail end of the battle, tracks down where hobie decided to make a couch outta concrete and lands in front of him, buzzing with cheezy lovey dovey feelins of elation, top o' the fucken world, and asks on abt hobie, rambling until hobie just lifts a hand, a silent ask for help up, (always asking for connection always makin sure they're actually there) n miles, have i mentioned he's happy? he's straight up a sap, so he takes that hand.
he takes that hand gently, bending at the waist a bit, dramatically sweeping back his other arm, bowing, for hell's sake, n plants a kiss on the back of hobie's hand, nice n proper, with a cheeky wink to boot (he'd finally fixed the eye mechanisms last week, thanks to penny), before pulling up new london's own spiderman chest to chest with a bright laugh that puts a different kind of stars in hobie's eyes, half dancing half belting out a song in spanish he doesn't quite understand but knows all the words to (it's some continental dialect, nothing his mami speaks, but would filter out the headphones of that kid in his building he walked w in middle school everyday)
before the sirens start getting closer n hobie can feel the warmth of miles-- the warmth of his smile, his hair that's still sparking from transdimensional travel, his arms, chest, laughter, everything, n all at once it pulls every affectionate n pining bit of hobie to the surface, if he weren't wearing his mask his blush would be so impossibly visible it's straight mad how much hobie loves n adores miles, how much seeing miles be happy lights hobie's whole fucking world
and oh, hobie's never seen a god he didn't punch, never believed in any one he couldn't, but right now, with his fingers entwined with miles', aches leaving his bones like he's never felt his left shoulder twinge the second it drops below 21 just because miles just yelled fuck off to the approaching pigs, he could fall to his knees n swear pious fealty to milesmilesmiles.
but hobie is cool (never has a label stuck to him like the one miles has given him), and his real, livin n breathing god is starting to ramble, so hobie webs them upupup, heat along his back as god wraps arms around him, breath on his neck as home weaves tales into the leather wrapping it.
then miles hears hobie's stomach growl, so he starts pulling them away from the path of what he knows is towards hobie's flat, and towards what he swears is the only good puerto rican food in the whole of hobie's haunt, his excitement steamrolling over his usual stuttering spanish, exchanging shouts n jeers with everyone behind the counter
bc everyone knows him, like miles has lived here, earth-138, new london, his whole life, like hobie brown being dragged into the shop every other week by miles morales to get the same two plates (n an extra something for miles to gush over n hobie to taste) is how the rest of this life will go, like hobie n miles are together, in a way that the unsubtle looks the owner's kid at the register is aiming at miles' left hand are correct, but don't involve stuffy socially religious systems like marriage
but they're not, as much as hobie would love to kiss miles, gaze into his eyes for ages, hear his laughter, his off-key singing, his scritch-scritch of something on paper everyday-- bc he can't go abt this like he does everyone else, can't do it with half a foot out the door n a shrug as agreed; it's gotta be both feet on the floor, n it's gotta be for the rest of this life, so he'll take what he can get, and he'll take the distance n devotion, take the faith n the heartache. take what he can get from his god, glad to be touched by his god, glad to be loved by his god, across universes n the fall from his bed to the futon on the floor where miles decides to lay his head for choice holy nights
(hobie doesn't know miles is putting himself at the base of his god's shrine, hoping for his deity to fall into his arms, spikes n all, (ready, so ready to tear apart dimensions again for hobie, to bleed and cry n go to war for hobie) fingers splaying on the side of the mattress warmwarmwarm after hobie starts snoring, before they slip down softly, a prayer imparting from the pads, memorizing the patterns of his god's breath, the smell of the room, the borrowed shirt he wears, the sounds of a second city he calls home, thrumming full with a bass note plucked from an electric guitar, usually shaky hands sure n still picking out a different shape to hobie's eyebrow piercing, deftly screwing a star onto the bar. miles brings offerings to his god in pins n patches on clothing, stickers n torn out sketches decorating a shrine)
so they'll song n dance in new york, in new london; learning each other's cities, earths, haunts, people, arts, each other, like new scars for the collection- permanent and signs of living, odes to loving and protecting.
chest to chest, fingers entwined, warmth in the skies above cities, right on the edge of it all until they fall together, eyes wide open, gods broken down into blood and teeth and lovelovelove
not-quite-yet 2 - 3
. my ko-fi 💛

something something something loki's love for sylvie more appropriately manifesting as platonic rather than romantic because his love for her is a lesson in healing--particularly the inner child that still holds resentment towards a lying, unaffectionate father. loki's heart breaks for sylvie because it breaks for him too. he sees her and views the version of himself that is still angry and deeply, deeply wounded. his affection stems from the empathy of understanding what it is to have had a narrative for their life controlled/manipulated for them. in their sameness, loki offers the compassion he wishes he would've gotten or would've been able to receive. and because to turn back on her would be to turn back on himself. loki allows himself to be something other than the trickster god he made himself out to be in a desperate plea at taking back control. it is mobius that tells him he can be other than what he was and offers him another mode of survival, all of it a lesson in love. sylvie teaches loki radical self-love, how to show up for himself and others, and mobius is the conduit through which loki practices this healthier way of loving.

love island bakugou, your first kiss is during the dirty laundry challenge.
his couple with jirou is still early, but he can already tell it's not going anywhere, and he hasn't set his eyes on anyone yet — you included. of course he thinks you're beautiful, but he can objectively say all the women are, and he's peripherally aware of how well you and kaminari are getting along.
the truth is probably something horrible 💀 you slide down into the soap and find a fake, laminated dinner bill and the statement is, "this boy once ended a date in the middle of dinner because he felt it wasn't going to work out" !!! and you're looking at the boys, wondering who out of them would do such a thing 💀 and you don't know much about bakugou, haven't spent any real time talking to him because he's intimidating LOL but it's because he's so gruff that you decide he's got to be the one.
i think. bakugou would really dislike the kissing LOL especially in the beginning, so he's frowning, watching you in your cute bathing suit, all soaped up — but when you come to stand right in front of him, he feels oddly nervous ?? because he really hasn't been paying attention to you, and now he is !!
it's the first time he's had a kiss that he hasn't purposely made chaste or quick; you go in for it because he's damn handsome, for as shy as you feel in front of his broad figure, and EVERYONE notices that he ACTUALLY, PROPERLY kisses you in return 💀 it's nothing as explicit as some of the other exchanged kisses, but sero swears he saw your tongue in his mouth, even if bakugou won't admit to it 💀
(and this is the first time he feels conflicted, really, about throwing a point for a challenge when his turn comes up. because he really has no clue if you're the girl the statement is about, but his stomach feels light and flippy and when his eyes dart to you, you're already watching him, waiting to see who he'll choose.)
(his face is on fire, when all the girls squeal beside him as thinks fuck it and kisses you anyway, and he's not gonna admit this either, but maybe he goes all in too 💀)

jadore-andor’s freaky fall
i’ve been bullied convinced by @acrossthesestars & @emilykaldwen to make this official…
so, without further ado, i’m officially declaring it Freaky Fall!
Freaky Fall is my take on a themed, smutty writing challenge where the guidelines are minimal and the submission dates are fluid - i know we all struggle with balancing real life and our passions, so i wanted everyone to have a chance to participate!
if you’ve ever wished kinktober extended beyond October, this challenge is for you 🧡
details are listed below!
dates: if it is currently autumn where you live, it’s Freaky Fall! for the Northern Hemisphere, that’ll be late September to late December (according to Google) & for the Southern Hemisphere, that’s March-May.
the rules (more like guidelines):
the kinktober prompt generator i’m personally using is this one as it’s super customizable. you can also use any other smut prompt list you find (giving proper credit), pull from your own head, or even create your own bingo cards. the options are endless!
add me to your taglist and use the #freaky fall tag in your post!
as this is primarily a smut challenge, no minors! 18+ participants only!
you can be as explicit or non-explicit as you’d like. we love a good fade-to-black moment!
fluff fic is welcome, but be aware that there will be smut in the tag!
multifandom - write for any fandom character or pairing you’d like!
absolutely no rpf. i get that some people are into it, but i’m not and i’d rather not bring that into the equation.
no word limit! write as little or as much as you like.

.✦ Blackened Wings. (Pt 1) - Happy Halloween!! 🦇
Tumblr media
WC - 1080 ( .MDZS Bat flock AU✦. )
Summary: The siege of burial mounds was set, but upon arrival none were found- all belongings left behind besides the clothes on their backs and Wei Wuxian's scripts. When there is nothing else left behind and no traces to find, what more is there to do than move on?
Timeline: Post first siege on the timeline. Wens/WWX did not die in the seige, and are completely off the map.
Prompt 26, for my Writing/Drawing Challenge- Animal.
.✦
Lan Wangji had been spending a great amount of time with the bats that had chosen to roost under his roof- he knew it wasn’t good practice to be in close contact with them, but he felt especially attached to them since they showed up not too long after Wei Wuxian’s and the Wens disappearance.
He was, of course, distraught. Absolutely devastated and worried- but he was very much wounded, so what could he do in such a state? When he went there to see, there really had been nothing left of them. All of their belongings were still there besides the clothes that were likely still on their backs, and Wei Wuxian’s inventions. 
The assumption was, despite months of searching, that they had all died, ran away, or the most nausea inducing, been secretly done away with or decided to die together on their own terms. There was just no evidence, nothing- it was like they were spirited away. 
Like they never existed.
Lan Wangji had drank that night. So much so that he thought he might disappear too- his brother had brought him home safely though, somehow.
He’d spent the next few nights trying to sneak out, being brought home and at one point even restrained- his family didn’t want him to go on a search for someone they considered evil, but especially when injured and having no leads- he didn’t care. However all he was allowed was time sitting on his deck, the night sky all he had to keep himself from going completely out of touch.
He could remember stories that Wei Wuxian told him as he looked at the stars- how he hoped his parents were two of those very ancient lights watching over him- on a long past anniversary of his mother’s passing.
And then…they came from that sky.
A somewhat large, black and red bat with a group of small white bats- he hadn’t ever seen the small white kind before, but the larger one looked kind of like a flying fox. It was large, but it wasn’t as big as some he’d seen- which made him think it was a different breed than those he’d seen in the past. Its wingspan was impressive, but its body was smaller than a cat’s. The small ones could fit in his palm if they allowed him to hold them, with sunburst orange details and dark gray wings, accented by that same golden color mixed with a light, delicate red on the outer fold of their wings. The smallest of them had an especially brilliant hue and a lovely fluffy white coat, and was the friendliest of the bunch. A baby, he presumed.
He’d focused on them, watching them hang from the beams and all huddle up inside the larger’s wings in what he assumed to be to stay warm. It was still chilly at night, and the white bats were quite small- and as they were white primarily they likely didn’t get a lot of heat retention. The larger bat though was the one who shivered. The smaller ones would huddle close, and eventually the larger one would fall asleep for a short time.
So he watched them, and stopped trying to run away. For some reason the bats stuck around, and one of the smaller ones especially loved to fly over to him and hang off his robes, sit on his shoulder or on his head. The larger one would quickly follow as if worried, but would stay as well when treated to pets and figs. It turned out even the smaller ones ate fruit as well, which he found unusual. He’d never met such small bats that didn’t eat insects and rather ate fruit.
It became his reason to keep going day to day, the only reason he didn’t rush off with his injured body looking for the one he loved. He had to stay here as long as he was injured, but he felt the time was easier now, spending time with his bats.
“A-Ying,” Lan Wangji whispered to the large bat, watching as its head turned to him expectantly. These bats were so smart, and the little things this one did reminded him of all the cute characteristics Wei Wuxian had. Rubbing its nose with its wing, tilting its head when told something curious. He still remembered the angry flapping accompanying a quite squeaky, chittery shriek the bat had made when his uncle had gotten too close to the little white bat. Those two seemed bonded, despite the little one appearing to have some sort of family amongst the other white bats left.
“Is it alright if I name your little one too?” Lan Wangji asked softly, watching as it leaned forward to give him a little lick on the nose with its soft little tongue. He exhaled quietly like an attempt of a laugh despite the exhaustion, listening to the soft mewling and chirps that sounded like real laughter to him.
“What about ‘Sizhui’?”
The bat moved its head back as if it truly understood the words, mouth slightly ajar with its head tilting ever so slightly and eyes wide- as if he was looking into his heart with those dark eyes.
“It is from a poem…do you want to hear?”
The bat chittered quietly in response.
“Yearning for but cannot chase after you, longing for someday when you will return.” He looked outside briefly, where the bats usually were roosting. The bats however were roosting in the corner of his room where it was warm, except for the littlest one currently hooked into his lapels. “It loosely means ‘chasing memories’, or another: ‘to yearn for’.” He gently scratched under the large bat’s jaw, watching its ears vibrate with happiness to the affection, but still stare at him so closely. It was unusual to see the bat this focused.
“Do you like it?”
The bat gently booped their noses together and wiggled its ears again, the soft little clicks bringing the corner of his mouth up, however tired it was. “Little Sizhui then.” 
He paused, remembering the boy that followed at Wei Wuxian’s heels. He called the boy little radish, didn’t he? He missed them so much…
He hadn’t realized he had started to drift to sleep until he felt something soft gently wiping away the tears he hadn’t known he shed. His eyes cracked open just slightly, and he could have sworn he saw pale anthracite blue looking back at him.

Random Information about this au:
WWX turned himself and the Wens into bats together to “disappear”. The bats start roosting under the edge of the Jingshi roof in the corner and LWJ watches them during his recovery days. He thinks it's in his head that two of them remind him of wwx & wy but doesn't care - he protects them now, and even a bit of the vice versa.
WWX is a fruit bat (I felt like a flying fox would be too big), and the wens are Honduran white bats. They are seen as a flock, despite WWX presenting as a different breed. They CAN change at will, except for Wen Yuan which WWX keeps tight control of because he’s a kid and accidents can happen. They don’t though, so the Lans assume they are all just regular bats that have taken a liking to the Jingshi roofing.
(Extra: convo excerpts when developing, it won't be completely cohesive):
Sasu: Someone is mean to LWJ (forcing him to accept liquor, etc etc) bat wwx pops out and starts squeaking at them from inside his lapels. It scares em off (works almost everytime).
A-Yuan is still little so he stays on LWJs shoulder half the time (tucked under wwx wing the rest of the time).
Yuyu: “Pristine cultivator Hanguang-Jun” chilling in front of his uncle who’s seething. Cause there’s two bats on his nephew; One is chewing his ribbon.
Yuyu: Would be funny if only wwx was the big bat and all the wens and a-yuan were just-
A tiny mob of fluffs under his wing
Sasu: jfhshfjfj beautiful, I like the idea. Maybe not a flying fox size cuz that's huuuuuuge but fruit bat. still big enough!
Yuyu: Everyone in Gusu just sighs as they now not only got “totally not pets” bunnies but bats too. Wangji privilege smh
I like to imagine Qiren is like….slightly afraid of the larger bat
Sasu: all the Lans start to like the small bat flock tho cuz the big one brings bugs and fruits to the small ones
they also don't poop there which is a plus xD
I'm sure they wouldn't like guano on Gusu paths
Yuyu: Omg.
Maybe one of the smaller bats got stuck in Qiren’s closets or something 
And well….
Qiren might explode
Sasu: jfhsgdjfb LMAO LWJ is just like “why did you close them in there” and just babies the bat and feeds it a berry or smth
Yuyu: The lost bat was a-yuan ಥ_ಥ Hence wwx was just panicking flying everywhere
Sasu: I think wwx woulda led them to the closet and just sqUEAK
Qiren: "no u cant get in there!" but then heard the other squeaks gjhsgxjf
LWJ just following them around like what's wrong and that's how he ends up on the scene jfjshdhf much bat cuddles after that
Yuyu: wlskjheiocewin one day LWJ just full on cuddles bat wwx like a plushy and wwx bat is just (a bunch of flustered emojis) And all the other bats are just looking at him from the other side of the room like e u e
Sasu: HAHAHAHA they know they for sure know- god I'm dying a little imagining LWJ petting wwx slowly while he's going to sleep like he's a cat (and falls asleep with his hand on him)
Yuyu: God imagine if that’s how he poofs back into a human- /jk
Sasu: ignshdjfn fruits basket style. imagine he wakes up and sees the bat replaced with wwx nods
Yuyu: Wwx has not dared to move all night
Sasu: wwx panic shifts back into a bat and LWJ wonders if he was seeing things
Yuyu: Just eyes his water next to his bed all suspiciously……"did i accidentally drink"
Sasu: hfhsbdjd - he starts calling the bat a-ying (cuz wei ying would be too on point) and the bat seems a little flighty so he's like ‘did i catch smth’ nfhshdjjf he's sus but also doubtful haha ‘maybe i offended him’
aw but imagine he like recognizes mannerisms in bat wwx that human wwx would do, like rubbing his wing over his nose a lot, having human like expression and these squeaks that seem like laughter (and he of course gets scary or protective depending on who he's with) so he act like air puppy sometimes or shows his teeth at other times and he likes to wrap his wings over LWJs shoulders to have a full body rest
Yuyu: A living blanket
Sasu: mn, living blanket with claws
Yuyu: Lwj has learned not to voice this opinion out loud or the bat gets upset (A puppy! Of all things)
Sasu: kfhsgzcjfj hahaha- that’s just the term for fruit bats they’re nicknamed air puppies. I don't think LWJ would call him that, maybe some juniors tho haha
Yuyu: Jingyi
Sasu: pft haha Jingyi bonds with bat a-yuan nods the bat LWJ personally named Sizhui because he is small and reminds him of the little boy wwx once cared for owo
so a-yuan is a shoulder bat for Jingyi a lot when he's in his kid years
Jingyi says he's his best friend and has to be convinced to leave the bat at home when training dnhdgshsj
Yuyu: Mo Xuanyu lives in this? I can imagine him being absolutely infatuated with the bats, also hilarious if he looks at wwx bat for like 1 min and is just ... leans in whispering, Yiling Patriarch!?
Sasu: wwx, internally: that's my name don't wear it out
wwx, outside: angry bat flutters
how would he recognize tho
vkjdhdj hahaha
Yuyu: Haah love bats, wonderful stuff
Sasu: Bats are the best (❁´◡`❁) ❤

You've been staring me down all day. Not that I don't appreciate the attention, but it's... getting a little unnerving. My reading is interrupted a rather loud rumble from your stomach, from your position on the couch. I look up from my book to see you, of course, still looking at me. There's a sort of conflict in your eyes. Consideration, as you eye my curled up form, tucked into my favorite chair.
I offer a nervous smile and speak up. "So, eheh, sounds like we're about ready to get started on lunch-?"
"Get in my belly."
...I must've misheard you. "I- Sorry, what was that?"
"Get. In. My belly."
That low growl hardly sounds like you. I can see saliva building up at the corners of your mouth, your features painted in sharp relief to my eyes as fight-or-flight starts to kick in, involuntarily. It must be evident in my expression, by the way you jerk that piercing gaze off of me so abruptly, bowing your head to run your hands down your face.
Hesitantly, I set the book aside and sit up, tense. "I'm- I'm afraid I.. don't understand?"
You growl again and snap your eyes back up to mine. "It can't wait any longer—I need you in there. Now."
I flinch back and scrabble against the chair as you abruptly stand and start towards me. I can't get my limbs to work right. I don't- what- "What's going on? I-I- W-what are you- you doing?"
"You have no idea how long I've been holding back, do you? For your sake. You'll be fine. But I'm not, and I won't be, not unless you can sate me." You're exceedingly close, now, looming, arms to either side of me and watching my every move with what I now recognize as hunger in your eyes.
Out of panic, my arm flies toward your face, but you catch me by the wrist before it makes contact. The reflexes of a predator, I can only imagine. I tug at it with a whimper, cowering against the back of my seat. I trusted you, but now- now-
"I don't want this either. But this has to happen, before I start actually hunting down strangers. This is the better option. You'll be fine, I promise you. But I need this."
Your growl is the last thing I hear before my world goes dark, and damp, and hot.
--------------------------------------
It's... calmer than I expected. No acid, for one thing. Seems you weren't lying about me being alright. ...Physically, at least. The walls shift and knead, but they're strangely passive. You'd gone quiet after, er, eating me, even if your guts hadn't. It took a while for you to come to your senses and reassure me that you truly mean no harm, dragged out of your instinctual post-meal bliss by the sound of my terrified and betrayed sobs. I'd only just calmed down a bit, soothed by the sound of regret and urgency in your voice to make amends, before you succumbed to the urge to nap.
And now, I... don't know what to do. It seems safe enough, at least? So here I sit, hidden away deep within you, listening to your sleeping body's inner workings. All that fear, slipping away into.. boredom? ...Peace, let's call it that.
It's soft, at least. I think the warmth is starting to get to me, bringing with it a deep drowsiness. Maybe this.. isn't so bad. Maybe I can still trust you. Maybe I could, mm, join you, in your.. nap...

the show chb logo was also ripped from fandom, like in the past decade all the official chb shirt had the logo without the circle and then the fandom started doing and the show went for it, sorry your tags reminded me of that
[Link to post/tags in question]
Yeah, I know Delphi Strawberry Service has done more circular-based CHB shirt designs for ages, and I've seen the more circular-based designs floating around for awhile. I think Magicbysab's circular-based CHB shirt designs also predate the show design? Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I understand on a level that if they did base it off fandom designs, particularly if they're basing anything on widespread fanon or fandom-based concepts, it can be difficult to pin down credit or may even seen unnecessary. But if they're going to be doing that I feel like at least they could hire like, a fandom consultant of sorts? Instead of just ripping off from the fandom, hire someone from the community who produces that already so at least there's some recognition and acknowledgement of where it originated.
Heck, in some instances if you ask around in the fandom it's not hard to pinpoint who specifically popularized certain concepts! I could talk for ages about Cherryandsisters being a driving force behind photokinesis!Will, or Saberghatz with plague!Will (tbh between the two they spearheaded a ton of early Will/Solangelo fanon), and I swear Drksanctuary alone is behind like 50% of Alabaster fanon, etc etc etc. People in the fandom know these things! Heck, we know ReadRiordan company knows how to do that kind of thing! They commissioned Viria for the official art, and the UK Riordan newsletter reaches out to fans all the time to feature their work (with credit, they're one of the better ones)! Though in Rick's book tours he did showcase Viria's art (at least with credit) without asking before she got commissioned, and during the Tower of Nero book tours they actually straight up stole a solangelo edit from Pervysloth with completely zero credit (link is to my canon url readriordan parody blog).
I think it doesn't help as well that Rick and his editor allegedly use the fandom wiki in place of a series bible. The PJO wiki is notorious for putting inaccurate information or fanon onto pages at random and having no sources. (What I wouldn't give for the PJO wiki to have frequent book/page sources a la Warrior Cats wiki...) There are what, now almost 18 books in the main series alone? Of an extremely renowned best-selling series that's 20 years old and now being adapted for TV? And they STILL don't have a series bible? That's like, step 1 of writing a series. This kind of reliance of the fandom for resources and concepts definitely isn't new for them.
It just feels so bizarre as to what it says about how the ReadRiordan company views the fandom and the creatives within it. I understand that trying to figure out how to give credit to the concept of "CHB shirt design, but circular!" is difficult, if you even can find out who did that first or popularized it. But if you're going to rip things from fandom, at least find somebody to try and credit? Show that you put in even the tiniest amount of effort? And if you get it wrong and people know, they'll correct you and that's that! But ReadRiordan just keeps trying to actively obscure these kinds of things, even with their own media, not ripped from the fandom, which makes it feel all the worse when it gets pointed out. And a lot of the time the whole reason those concepts get popular is because they're filtered through big names in the fandom! The fandom is a community! We know these people! We can point to them and explain exactly what they popularized! Remember how Velinxi popularized long haired Piper with the heart-shaped flyaways? Goodness only knows how many fandom designs are heavily influenced by Viria and Minuiko and Burdge (and Indigonite and Fuocogo and Ikimaru and Thecottonproject and Joker-ace and Sixofclovers and Vikingmera and Saber and Cherry and and and-). If you are in the community this stuff is easy to find. But Rick and the ReadRiordan company clearly being ~5 years behind with fanon pretty obviously tells me that they're not in the community at all, and aren't bothering trying.
