Can you compile a list of when and where there is Eugene hurt, please? (I know you will torment me with the dreaded scene...) But, if you are doing one for Cass, Eugene deserves it, too!

Well, it's hurt/comfort for NDAW so guess today is the perfect day to answer this! xD

Eugene's hurt/comfort/angst Two Tangled Sisters Guide:

Using the same sections as with Cassandra:

The Bad Childhood

In The Frostwork Festival

Chapter 2: Orphans Don’t Get Gifts (Eugene gets coal despite trying his best)

In Vardaros and The Tower

Chapter 38: Picnic of Truth (Part 4/5: Just Another Bad Behaved Kid) - Chapter 39: Picnic of Truth (Part 5/5: Verified Witch) (Eugene opens up to Rapunzel about his childhood)

Emotional Hurt/Comfort

In Two Princesses

Chapter 1: A thief and a fighter (In section 2 we see Eugene being uncomfortable with the palace and receiving comfort from Arianna). Chapter 15: The Crown (Part 5: Ransoms and Insurance) (Eugene feels guilty and hands himself in as a hostage so Cassandra can go home).

And there’s an emotional chat in the final section about not fitting in.)

Chapter 13: Strongbow (Part 3/3: The Queen's Ring) (the most uncomfortable breakfast with in-laws ever as Arianna recognises the ring Eugene gifted Rapunzel).

Chapter 32: Master Thief (Part 3/7: All children are precious, even the criminal ones)-Chapter 33: Master Thief (Part 4/7: Is a fresh start even possible?) (Keira and Catalina definitely get Eugene thinking of a past best forgotten).

Chapter 46: The Queen's Sister (Part 4/4: Blessings and Whispers) (Eugene asks Frederic and important questions and does not receive the answer he desires).

In A Birthday is Supposed to Celebrate a Person: Eugene definitely has ‘feelings’ regarding birthdays, but it soon delves into the comfort as his friends and family come together to celebrate him!

Chapter 7: Is this the right room?-Chapter 8: Puzzles the Pony (Eugene is captured and thinks of Rapunzel). Chapter 9: Is there time for change?

Chapter 15: Love and Truth (Part 11/12: Do You…?) (Eugene doesn’t know the gang’s plan!) Chapter 16: Love and Truth (Part 12/12: She Doesn't Know You) (The Baron takes out some of his anger on Eugene)

And I promise there is more to come!

But, while I’m here, if you want other fics from me with hurt/comfort/angst for Eugene, you can check out:

Unhappily Married I mean it’s a fic about Eugene being kidnapped by the Baron forced to marry Stallyan.

Unfair Mostly Cassandra but towards the end when Eugene finds out their banter wasn’t a fun two-sided thing and finds out about what happens to Captain, there is definitely some guilt there. But with a happy ending!

Where Cassandra said Something and Captain Listened AU to Three Thieves, only really makes sense if you read that, but it’s the comfort that fic was missing!

Plus Forts Ensemble Eugene gets stabbed and temporarily dies in this one. And worst than both those stuff, he gets locked in a cell with Cassandra!

Prince Eugene of the Dark Kingdom Mostly the beginning, growing up in isolation, at one points he runs away and gets injured, when he grows up a bit he has to deal with the weight of duty… And I promise there is a lot more hurt/comfort coming soon.

The Three Thieves I mean… this is growing up neglected and forced into a life of crime so, a lot of this fic is hurt/comfort. When it comes to Eugene, highlights would probably be ‘Did you Learn Your Lesson’ arc in which Eugene is taken to see a hanging live so he knows what he’s future will be if he doesn’t change paths. Those poor kids.

A Journey Down Memory Lane written in collaboration with @the-writer1988 this one is literally done for the prompt hurt/comfort, so obviously, there’s a lot of it!

We have the tradition that Santa Claus and Krampus come during the night and when kids wake up on the sixth of December, they either find nice things (from SC) or birch/switch (from the Krampus) in their boots, depending on how they behaved during the year. I wonder, does leaving the Krampus himself on somebody's doorsteps means that they were naughty or nice...

December was probably the worst time of the year. He used to love the Christmas season, he used to be the type of person who changed the entire decorations from Halloween to Winter Wonderland on the first of November, but…

Yeah.

Not anymore.

He couldn't stomach the cheerful snowmen and twinkling lights. Nor could he bear to witness the disgustingly, sickeningly sweet family of his best friend. Wei Wuxian was probably the only reason he survived, but if he had to spend more than a second with him, his adoring husband and cute kid, he would kill himself.

He had a list of more and more morbid ways to do that.

He was just joking! But no, not really.

Nie Huaisang sighed. Walking into the kitchen, he just took the whole tin of cookies with himself instead of refilling his plate. If he couldn't just fast-forward his life to January, at least he could suffocate himself with the delicious chocolate chip cookies Jiang Yanli baked.

With another weary sigh, he plunked down into the soft armchair. Picking up the only reminder of better times, his fingers brushed through the soft fur. The plush bear with a scowling face and tiny saber was the only thing that survived the fire - aside from Huaisang.

Sometimes he wished he could have died then and there.

Most of the time he wished they wouldn't have taken in him.

Closing his eyes, he wished he could have slept through the whole season, waking up sometime in the future. Or not even waking up. He would have been fine with not waking up at all.

He let himself be pulled into the waiting arms of the blessed darkness.

Minutes, then hours passed, Nie Huaisang deaf and blind to the world around him. Wind crept in from the outside, unnatural cold freezing frostwork on the windows. Nie Huaisang shivered, burrowing himself into the armchair, but he didn't wake up. Not until the footsteps that echoed in the sudden silence.

No.

Not footsteps. Hooves.

Nie Huaisang froze, eyes wide with fright. His throat was constrained, and his heart was beating as if he'd run a marathon. Silent, like a mouse, he rushed towards the door. He knew he shouldn't do it. He knew the menacing presence was there. Yet, he couldn't stop himself. It was as if his body was not his; he watched in terror as his hand moved without his accord to open the door. It opened slowly, torturously slow, adding to the terror of uncertainty.

Nie Huaisang gasped as a creature formed from the darkness. Huge and horned, hooved feet and sharp canines unveiled themselves. But they weren't the reason for Nie Huaisang's weakening legs, tear-filled eyes, and tattooing heart.

“Da… ge…” he whispered, his voice filled with anguish.

“Hello, didi.” A deep voice growled, different, yet so similar to the beloved tone of his brother.

Tears slid down his cheeks, he extended his hands. Trembling fingers pressed against furred skin, and it felt like time stopped around them.

“Da-ge,” he whispered again.

Sharp nails skimmed over Nie Huaisang's cheek as the monstrous form of Nie Mingjue tried to clear his tears away. “I'm here, didi. I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere without you.”

His left hand cupped Nie Huaisang's chin, a clawed thumb affectionately rubbing over his jawline, accompanied by a deep, possessive growl.

“But- how?” Nie Huaisang was shivering, not from the freezing wind, but from the emotions he tried to repress for so long. Nie Mingjue must have thought he was cold, because he wasted no time in reaching down and scooping him up in a princess hold, just like he used to do when Nie Huaisang was a kid. While he was higher, furrier, scarier, and much, much bigger, those protective arms and loving, gentle touches were the same. His big brother was the same.

“I'm here now. Does it really matter how I became the Krampus?”

Nie Huaisang supposed it didn't, not really. He could just count it as a Christmas miracle. The only thing important was that Da-ge was there. Krampus or not, goat-legged and furred and scary-looking or not, he was still his beloved Da-ge.

Nie Mingjue carried him to his bed, laying him down gently, so lovingly, it brought tears to his eyes. Since Nie Mingjue's death, feelings like love and safety were basically non-existent for Nie Huaisang. But not anymore.

“I missed you so much,” he confessed, pulling down to his bed his big and menacing-looking Da-ge with his arms wrapped around the Krampus’ neck. The bed creaked and gridded, but it bore the added weight of the monstrous form.

“I missed you too, didi,” Nie Mingjue rasped. His breathing tickled Nie Huaisang's neck and did other things to him he'd rather not admit. Feeling the big and strong body next to him, knowing that the only person he'd ever loved more than anything in the whole world was there and not going anywhere was a heady feeling.

Then, he felt the tip of a clawed finger trailing over his side and he let out an involuntary moan. His Da-ge was incredibly warm and real and he smelled so good! Similar to how he used to, but muskier, earthier, and it was almost intoxicating.

“A-Sang,” Nie Mingjue growled, and grasped Nie Huaisang's hip, pulling the much smaller body almost on top of him. Nie Huaisang squealed, but soon relaxed against the furred body, squiggling until he found the perfect, most comfortable position, with one of his legs between Nie Mingjue's, and an arm thrown over the huge body.

“Didi,” snarled Krampus. “Don't play with fire, unless you are ready for the consequences!”

Nie Huaisang's heart froze, his mind supplying him with memories of fire, burnt hands, and darkness. He felt like he was suffocating until gentle hands brought him back to the present.

“I'm sorry,” Nie Mingjue mumbled. “It's okay, didi. You are safe. Da-ge is here.”

Nie Huaisang’s breathing slowly normalized, and his body went lax against his brother's. He let out a whine, needing more comfort; he needed his Da-ge!

Krampus rumbled as he pressed his hand against Nie Huaisang's back, gently rubbing it, careful that his claws wouldn't hurt the human. “I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. You are safe,” he repeated like a mantra. “Da-ge loves you.”

Nie Huaisang smiled against the broad chest, rubbing his face against the furry pectorals. Yes, he was safe; yes, he was loved.

“Didi loves you too,” he mumbled, blinking up to his brother with huge, innocent eyes. He knew very well that those were Da-ge's kryptonite.

“You minx,” Nie Mingjue grunted as his hands tightened around Nie Huaisang's hips. Lightning struck through the younger man, he felt like he was going to die if he couldn't get more of that delicious possessiveness. He always adored being Nie Mingjue’s number one, to be his priority over anything and anybody else.

“You want this,” the awe in Nie Mingjue's voice was almost palpable.

Nie Huaisang nodded, “I love you, Da-ge. I always wanted this… I always wanted you.”

There was something feral about the way Krampus growled, and kissed Nie Huaisang like a hungry beast. Teeth gnashed together, lips pressing against each other, submitting to the shared passion they hid for so long. A wayward hand groped Nie Huaisang's round ass, another clawed his shirt as if it was nothing but paper. Furred arms rubbed against his sensitive skin, adding an extra factor to the already mind-blowing experience.

Nie Mingjue explored Nie Huaisang's upper body, caressing his unblemished skin, and trailing sharp claws over his neck. Nie Huaisang could feel the growing erection against his thigh, and he knew his brother could feel his excitement too.

“Haa,” he gasped for air as they broke their kiss. The canines, he expected. But the elongated tongue that could explore places… that was new. He shivered as said long tongue slithered out of Krampus’ mouth to rub against his neck, his hips rutting against Nie Mingjue's stomach.

“Didi,” whispered Nie Mingjue almost reverently. He pushed Nie Huaisang onto the bed, climbing over him, towering over him like the big mountain he was. Nie Huaisang’s pants followed the same fate as his shirt, sliced through and discarded without care. He wanted to huff and puff and grumble about that, but honestly… he has countless other pants. Who cared about them, when he had Nie Mingjue covering his body and pleasuring him?!

He could hear a pleased purr as the last fabric that covered him was torn apart, and lips were pressing against his. It was a quick, but dirty kiss; drool was dripping from Nie Mingjue's tongue as they parted, and he didn't hesitate to kiss deeply another part of his didi. It was strange and weird and slick, and Nie Huaisang wanted more. His hips thrust forward to feel more of that long tongue, to feel all of it inside his body. It was sleeker than any of his toys, but it felt much, much better. He could barely wait to feel Nie Mingjue's cock if his tongue already felt like Heaven.

Nie Huaisang fisted his blanket first, mouth open and panting, but as he looked down, not wanting to miss a thing, he had a better idea.

He grabbed Nie Mingjue's horns with his hands, and he was convinced that they were there only for this reason. “Fuuuck,” he whined as his body took more of Nie Mingjue's tongue. Warmth flooded his body, legs tensing and toes curling at the unfathomable pleasure.

Nie Huaisang cried out as Nie Mingjue pulled away, leaving him teetering on the edge of completion. “Da-geee!” He screamed with unfulfilled desire.

Hands were groping him with naked want, and Nie Mingjue dove un for another mind-melting kiss. One of his knees slipped between Nie Huaisang's thighs, pushing them apart so he could fit there. He was a big man in his life and an even bigger man as Krampus.

Nie Mingjue's tongue flicked against Nie Huaisang's nipple, pebbling the sensitive flesh, making him squirm, and gasp and whine for more.

He didn't have to wait for longer, before he could fully process what was happening, Nie Mingjue was hovering over him, his own clothes thrown away, showing off his muscled form. Even with the dense fur, sharp claws, and huge horns, Nie Huaisang's mouth was watering at the sight of his beloved brother kneeling between his legs, his well-endowed cock ready to bury itself into Nie Huaisang's body.

“Gimme! Now!” He whined like the spoiled brat he was for - and because of - his Da-ge.

“So impatient,” Nie Mingjue shook his head in mock disappointment but followed his didi's order. Nie Huaisang gasped as the tip of Nie Mingjue's cock grazed against his aching hole. Nie Huaisang's body went rigid with fear that he might be too tight without fingering himself first since the last time he used one of his toys was hours before, but before he could voice his concerns, Nie Mingjue suddenly pushed in.

It was painful, a bit more painful than he was used to, but it was also so fucking deliciously good that he didn't care about that. He would whine and pout the next day and guilt his brother to pamper him properly, but that time he wanted nothing more than to feel the whole length of Nie Mingjue's cock inside of him. Nie Mingjue started thrusting, shallow first, then, as he found that spot that made Nie Huaisang see stars, he thrust harder and deeper. The pain was just an afterthought for Nie Huaisang, especially when Krampus’ hands were touching him, caressing him, gently scratching him as if he wanted to mark him.

Nie Huaisang moaned, cursing under his breath as Nie Mingjue fucked him. He wanted more. No. He needed more.

“That's it. Good boy, take what you need,” Nie Mingjue said in a rough, husky voice when Nie Huaisang ground his hips forward to get more of that amazing cock.

The pace shifted as Nie Mingjue became rougher, fucking him like he owned him. Nie Huaisang supposed that wasn't that far from the truth; he really was Nie Mingjue's.

“Da-geee,” Nie Huaisang cried out as his brother ground into him. Clawed hands held his ass for a better position, fucking Nie Huaisang's ass as if he never wanted to stop. The younger man's moans became broken, just a mess of grunts and whines and soundless gasps. He reached up to grasp the horns with his hands to meet his brutal pace with his own movements.

“Yes, didi! Just like that!” Nie Mingjue rasped. After a few more thrusts, he came inside Nie Huaisang with a loud growl. The rush of pleasure was enough to push Nie Huaisang over the edge. Toe-curling, dizzying, earth-shattering pleasure ran through Nie Huaisang. He could barely feel his brother's cum filling him uncomfortably full, he was just floating on air. It was like falling and being drunk and feeling the happiest he'd ever felt mixed together into the perfect cocktail. Nothing mattered, only them.

When Nie Mingjue finally pulled out, fatigue claimed Nie Huaisang. He was halfway to Dreamland, when he heard, “Sleep, A-Sang. I'll be here when you wake up. You will never be alone anymore, I promise. Sweet dreams, didi.”

Nie Huaisang felt whole again, full like never before. Before this, he hated Christmas, he despised it, but in the end, Christmas miracles really did happen. There would be no more lonely days for him, not anymore.

SMOKING KILLS UNLESS YOU MAKE IT A HABIT

A dim cityscape rests wordlessly before him and preceding thoughts of familiarity followed by. As solitude strips him off of warmth, the frostwork forms around his heart—conquering the flesh, bones on the verge of fracture.

Or so he thought.

There's no end in contemplation, but there's a turning point and it symbolizes the addiction of burning mints. The columns of smoke surrounded the space, revealing a stature weaker than his own—but definitely not a thing to belittle.

His name is far too tasteful than any other existing flavours in the world, and he, the one who stands in wreckage, has his name stained by greater means of ignominy.

Cigarettes in hues, hues in cigarettes.

The Tope Hunger Games

So I've been thinking about this for a while now. I've been getting back into the Hunger Games after reading the books for myself recently (my mom read them to us when we were kids) and I'm so in love with this series. Suzanne Collins really created something truly amazing.

The great thing about Polytopia? It fits into the Hunger Games universe really well! The twelve normal tribes make up the twelve districts, and the four special tribes make up the Capitol. Every tribe specializes in one thing, which can be used as that district's purpose, like in the books. They really have mixed together so seamlessly, it's been a really fun writing experience.

This will be the masterlist for the Tope Hunger Games, as well as some general information I'm putting together in my canonverse. Likewise, if you want to read about a specific character in this setting, go to their tribe's masterlist to find their story. All of my OCs are the ones in these stories, so hopefully you're already familiar with some of the characters.

Real quick, here's a ranking of the tribes, what districts they're in, and what they specialize in.

Xin-xi: District 1, mining, Callow, poor, unskilled

Imperius: District 2, military, Career, wealthy, skilled

Bardur: District 3, hunting/livestock, Career, well-to-do, skilled

Oumaji: District 4, construction, Callow, well-to-do, generally unskilled

Kickoo: District 5, fishing, Callow, poor, generally unskilled

Hoodrick: District 6, textiles, Callow, poor, unskilled

Luxidoor: District 7, riches, Career, wealthy, skilled

Vengir: District 8, smithery, Callow, poor, generally unskilled

Zebasi: District 9, agriculture, Callow, poor, unskilled

Ai-Mo: District 10, medicine, Callow, well-to-do, unskilled

Quetzali: District 11, poultry, Callow, poor, unskilled

Yadakk: District 12, transportation, Callow, well-to-do, unskilled

The four mystical tribes, in my universe, compete every Quarter Quell. Otherwise they're escorts, Capitolites, all that jazz.

Aquarion: District 13, aquatism, Career, wealthy, skilled

Elyrion: District 14, enchantment, Career, wealthy, skilled

Polaris: District 15, frostwork, Career, wealthy, skilled

Cymanti: District 16, mycelium, Career, wealthy, skilled

Hope this helps! I tend to use the districts instead of the tribe names, so it may get confusing. How I picture them looking, as well as what their tribe land looks like, remains canon. It's basically just Polytopia in the Hunger Games, with THG weapons and technology and stuff.

Like I said, the stories (once I get them) will be linked both here, and on each tribe's specific masterlist. This will probably take a while to update, since I want to write all of their original stories first, so you have a better understanding of their personalities. I just couldn't wait to post this.

So did Xue Yang kill Chang Ping…because…No, I got nothing. Because Xue Yang was sad that ***** died when he found out the truth of what Xue Yang had made him do? Is that why Wei Wuxian said that if it was truly revenge that Xue Yang wanted then the person he should have killed was himself?

I guess—I mean, they’re clearly related, because Xue Yang used Frostwork to kill Chang Ping, so ***** was clearly already dead.

What are some of the favorite scenes you've written?

Oooh, love this question!

From Two Tangled sisters:

The final scene in Chapter 50: The Wishing Fountain (Part 4/5: An Unformed Heart and Unmeasurable Love) from Within the Walls of Corona.

In this arc, Cassandra wished for a normal childhood for her and Rapunzel resulting in them transforming into children. Arianna and Frederic finally get to hold their baby but when Cassandra falls ill they must return the girls to the fountain to return them to their normal age. It's very sad, and I love how it came out.

The third scene in Chapter 7: A Family Frostwork of The Frostwork Festival

This fic is a Holidays fic and this chapter is the day of the holiday. My fave scene specifically is the gift exchange, it's one of few moments that feature Rapunzel, Cass, Arianna, Frederic and Eugene all together, all enjoying themselves. There's bickering, there's love, and Eugene gets his first Frostwork gift in many years which I love.

The first scene in Chapter 30: The Gallows from The Princess, The Pirate and The Prosecutor

Eugene's nearly executed for a crime he didn't commit and his pov as his taken to the gallows is a really good scene.

First scene from Chapter 16: Birds and Magic (Part 8/10: Anything) from Magic and Artefacts

Cass thinks Caine hates her and Caine comes out with an 'I love you'... What more is there to say?

First scene in Chapter 4: Let's Talk Relationships and Ships (Part 3/6: Girl who has a crush on you and who you very much like being around but haven’t yet decided on what those feelings mean) from High Tide Dream

Where Cass tries to put her feelings to Caine to words and with Eugene's help finally comes to understand them. It's just a really nice scene.

First scene from Chapter 14: No Detours, Just Romance and Shenanigans (Part 6/6: How Gentle?) from High Tide Dream

They finally get together! And the 'I can do gentle', the 'I want to be with you and I can do a relationship on your terms', the joy these two feels and the relief they feel and... I just love it.

and more... special mentions would be when Cass and Caine fight back to back in Vardaros, Eugene first meeting Amaris, Arianna gently reassuring Eugene on his first night in the castle of how he's a hero, Eugene's nightmare during Bad Luck Charm and the comfort of his friends after, Cassandra's using her magic despite her bad prior experiences to protect her girlfriend in the Great Tree... There are SO MANY scenes from this series I'd love to point at and talk more about but we could go on forever.

From outside Two Tangled Sisters:

From Chapter 1 of Three Thieves the final scene. Cassandra getting Eugene and Lance in trouble and they're proud because she's learning their ways. It's just so sweet.

From Chapter 8 of Always By Your Side. This is the chapter where Arianna babysits Cassandra and Eugene, and the finally scene specifically is my fave, the way Eugene stands up for himself, the way he shows to still be haunted by his past, and the way Cass doesn't understand, showing how those few years difference are huge, they're the reason Eugene remains haunted while Cass has forgotten everything before Captain.

From my fic Empty, the first few scenes depicting Cass' youngest years and how the pain lingered and dragged was very good.

Fourth scene from the end (sorry, too many scenes in this story) from Plus Forts Ensemble. Eugene is dead, Rapunzel is grieving, Cassandra takes responsibility for her actions. I loved the idea and loved how this scene came out!

Clumsy, Messy Disrespectful. The whole thing. It's only got like three scenes, the glass breaking, Eugene and the parents. And I love all three of them. I don't usually write Rapunzel focused fics, far less such an emotional one, yet I love this oneshot. I wouldn't change a thing about it!

From We Can't be Happy Every Day, the fourth scene where Arianna reassure Cap he's doing a good job, despite his fears and despite the fact Cassandra is crying. I love Cap here and I love Arianna too.

From Unfair, the first three scenes. Captain getting injured, Cassandra's feelings about it, her anger, and Captain coming to understand his new normal. I just really like how they came across.

And that's it! At least for Tangled fanfics :D

Thanks so much for the ask and i apologize if this was a long and not very interesting post, but it was a lot of fun for me to go through some of my old fics!
