Angel had known it would be a rough day from the moment he had woken up that morning. Val had already been giving him shit for the past week since he moved into the hotel and hearing the constant love bombing and death threats were starting to get tiring.

An emergency shoot was the last thing he needed on his plate.

Then, of course, there was Charlie.

There was something so utterly terrifying about seeing Charlie in Valentino's studio. The way she looked around so innocently clashed violently with the naked bodies walking around and the smell of cigars and booze.

Angel felt his body move almost as if on autopilot. He was shoving the demon pinning him to the bed and scrambling to grab his robe, Angel's eyes seeming stuck on Charlie.

All he knew was that he desperately needed to get to Charlie before Val did.

Angel snatched Charlie's wrist as soon as she was within reach, looking around in a blind panic.

"What in the ever-loving-fuck are you doing here?!"

"I am the Princess of Hell, Angel! And I will go where I please!" Charlie had said in a snooty royal accent. Angel, who normally loved her antics though he'd never show, could feel his eye twitch and his heart race as he tried to usher her out of the studio. "I'm here to get you some time off for the hotel. Now where's your boss?"

Of fucking course.

Angel took a shuddering breath, pulling Charlie back to where she entered from.

"You are going nowhere near Val--"

The thought of her this close to Valentino made Angel feel physically ill. He could throw up. Probably would later. He just needed to get Charlie out of there.

But then again, when has Angel ever gotten anything he wanted.

Val was as impatient as ever and soon locked eyes on the princess.

Angel's breathing picked up and he felt something sharp and angry claw through his rib cage. Fear was choking him so viscerally as Val swooped close and examined Charlie like he was checking her quality.

Angel winced, anger pricking inside as Val's tongue slithered along Charlie's arm in place of a greeting like a fucking normal person.

"I just wanted to come to aggressively kindly talk to you about Angel--" Charlie had started and Angel flailed, not even sure if he was breathing at this point. "Later! Of course. I wouldn't wanna stand in the way of your work!"

Angel froze as Valentino turned to face him, feeling ice drip into his veins at the rage simmering off of the overlord. No one was allowed to get in the way of Valentino's work, Angel knew he had killed for less.

But...Val didn't do anything. He just went back to directing.

Still, Angel didn't breathe.

And it only got worse and worse.

Charlie was just trying to be helpful and Angel knew that but she always got into things she had no business being a part of. She never should have been here, she never should have gotten on Val's radar.

Angel felt his lungs seize and he was forced to inhale, a wave of dizziness washing over him. Val's red glow was intimidating as he dissipated all the fire Charlie's clumsiness caused.

"Angel~ Can I see you in your dressing room for a moment?" Valentino was already walking towards Angel's room and Angel was hot on his heels, not even able to give Charlie a second glance.

Fear rippled through him as words spilled from his lips hoping to explain.

Of course, Valentino didn't want to hear his explanations. He just wanted another guarantee that Angel's body and soul were whole-heartedly his. It was a sickening gesture of something that should feel intimate.

Angel could hear his heart pounding in his ears as an electric buzzing flooded into his limbs making it hard to resist Valentino tossing him about, all he could think of was getting Charlie out of there.

"Look, V-Val, she just gets involved in everything. I-I'll tell her to leave! Just don't hurt her..."

Valentino acting violently in response wasn't out of the ordinary. Keep Charlie safe was running on repeat in his head. Angel knew how to get her out.

He grunted as he was tossed to the bed and his heart ached fiercely at her justified anger but Angel had to do what he could to keep her safe. He needed her to be safe

"You actually wanna help me? Get the fuck outta here right now...and let me finish my work."

Angel felt his aching heart crack as Charlie's eyes filled with tears. He stayed unempathetic to her. He couldn't risk faltering or it would put them both in danger.

When Charlie ran out the doors, sobbing, it took everything within Angel not to cry as well.

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry Charlie

It wasn't until after arguing and making up with Husker that Angel remembered how he and Charlie left off. They had walked into the hotel talking and laughing after the whole fight outside the bar when he saw Charlie heading up the stairs

She had looked down and spotted him, eye contact freezing them both in place. Charlie was the one to break it first, looking away before giving them both a wave and turning back up the stairs.

Angel watched her go, chest suddenly full of an overwhelming ache.

"You gonna go talk to her?"

Angel blinked and saw Vaggie leaning against the bottom staircase column.

"Isn't checking on the princess your job as her girlfriend or some shit?" Angel tried to play it off, rubbing a hand across the bridge of his nose.

"Yeah, it is," Vaggie agreed. "But, I feel like you both could use a friend right now instead."

Angel stared at the ground, his hand flexing as Vaggie and Husk seemed to watch him. It didn't make him want to cringe and hide though. It didn't make him feel scared like he does with Val. He felt safe.

"I wouldn't go that far," Angel coughed, stepping up the first few steps. "I have to check on Fat Nuggets anyway. Might as well see if Her Majesty is okay. Raincheck on those drinks?"

Husk winked and headed to his bar, whistling with a little hop to his step which made Angel smile fondly.

He quickly shook himself out of it, ignoring Vaggie's knowing gaze, and walked very pointedly up to his bedroom first. Angel did actually have to check on his little piggy and grabbed a good amount of lettuce and some apple slices as well before scooping up Nuggets and heading to Charlie's room.

It was empty because of course it was empty.

Angel groaned and scratched Nuggets under his chin, walking up the stairs till he reached a dead-end hallway. It did, however, have a pull-down ladder from the ceiling that led to a little platform on the roof of the hotel. The ladder was already down which gave Angel hope that he had found Charlie.

He climbed the ladder and peeked his head up outside. Sure enough, Charlie was on the roof, watching the Pentagram as the sky's magenta started to turn to a dark plum color.

Fat Nuggets squealed happily as he saw Charlie and wiggled out of Angel's arms to run up to Charlie and give her a nuzzle.

Charlie jumped in surprise before cooing at Nuggets, giving his little head scritches. She turned and gave Angel a small, gentle smile as he climbed up and sat beside her on the roof, also watching the transition into Hell's Night.

"I'm sorry I made things hard for you at work today," Charlie spoke softly, almost like she was telling him a secret. "Something didn't feel right when you answered the phone. You didn't look like you wanted to go. I just...I wanted to make sure you were okay."

Angel stared at Charlie half in awe at her big heart and half in fond exasperation.

"Charlie," He started, sighing. "My mess with Val? That's my mess, okay? It's not ideal but I'm working it out. It won't be like this forever."

Charlie sighed and leaned her head against Angel's shoulder. He froze in place, eyes wide and panicked as he looked down at her. Vaggie wasn't here so he didn't know what to do. He bit his lip before slowly reaching down and patting Charlie's head.

Angel didn't know how long they sat there, himself running his fingers through her blonde hair and Charlie leaning against Angel, her soft breathing and at-ease body language, as they fed Nuggets his dinner, showed him how much she truly trusted him.

He smiled down at her, feeling truly accepted by someone for the first time in a long time and now twice in one night. Angel knew he didn't want to disappoint her and felt that he truly had something to work towards getting out of his deal.

"Come on, Char," Angel soothed, his arms helping her sit up while two others picked up Fat Nuggets and tucked him against his side. "Time for bed."

Charlie whined at him, nuzzling into Angel's fluffy chest causing him to chuckle and scoop her up with his available arms.

Carefully, with his precious cargo, Angel made his way down the ladder. Vaggie was waiting at the bottom with a fond, knowing look in her eyes.

"She got you too," Vaggie teased him as Angel gently transferred Charlie into her partner's loving arms.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Angel scoffed, not able to stop the soft look on his face as Charlie snuggled into Vaggie, continuing to sleep. "How does she care so much?"

"I wish I knew," Vaggie chuckled, starting to head to their bedroom. "But she has plenty of love to give. You're her best friend, Angel. Never be afraid to reach out to us for help."

"Us?"

Vaggie paused at their door, turning her head to look at him. "I trust you with her, Angel. You are my friend too. If you need help, I am here."

Angel felt the stinging of his eyes and quickly looked away. It has been such a long time since he's had someone to rely on. Something that wasn't a substance but a person who genuinely wanted to see his improvement.

Angel walked into his own room, collapsing onto the bed with Fat Nuggets beside him, his body aching from all the work and abuse Val put him through. He curled up, facing his dresser where a picture of him and Cherri was tucked in the mirror. The other side had a picture from Sir Pen's first day that Angel secretly snatched.

What could he say? He loved his little family.

This time, they love him too.

I'm watching a contrapoints video on twilight and I am learning so, so much about the dark romance genre, the appeal, and the differences between yearning and craving and I'm getting so galaxy brain

Oh yeah it's all for a fic. It's for a spn fanfic. I'm researching for an spn fanfic I'm writing.

🥏 TXF Fic Rec #7: 'Agunah' by Prufrock’s Love

Prufrock’s Love is known for her long, angsty historical AUs, but today’s fic is one of her shorter ones, a mid-length story set in Season 7/8 told from a psychotic stalker’s POV.

The third-party POV is refreshing and well-rendered. The established MSR is a treat, full-on smitten, satisfyingly in character, and believable in their “happy ever after with a baby” world, but not cloying, thanks to the distance put between them and us readers by the narration of a voyeur.

Although with PFL, there’s always a dash of angst mixed in with the fluff, just the perfect blend for this story.

“Adam’s my boyfriend,” Ronan said quickly, the words had clearly been queued up. He kicked Declan’s shoe with his own, dropped his arms at his sides and silently headed into the church.

What the fuck.

5 times Declan was skeptical of Adam Parrish and 1 time he welcomed him into the Lynch family.

“horror movies spend less time establishing character” have you only ever seen 2 movies

#a lot of horror movies are character driven #some aren’t but a lot of other genres don’t focus on character either #but like there are some complaints i see about certain movies where people complain that ‘nothing happens’ or whatever #or like the plot is less structured or whatever #and it’s like yeah maybe and sometimes that’s boring but sometimes it’s a fucking character study type thing #so like. what. ladybird is great but american mary isn’t structured enough #or like. may. excision. fucking uhh reanimator i’d say has pretty established characters #saw. what about saw. the whole movie is just two guys stuck in a room talking #the ritual is very character driven. the og film version of hill house #you know i hate orphan but orphan is pretty good at that actually #i would argue that the first 2 friday the 13th movies pretty well establish the personalities and dynamics of the characters #the exorcist. are you telling me that the exorcist doesn’t take its sweet time introducing the characters #establishing a status quo to be disrupted? an established pattern of behavior to deviate from? to say nothing of karras himself #the underlying conflict is all about internal beliefs and decisions this man is thinking about #oh the invisible man 2020 i thought they did a good job of establishing characters and relationships #anyway #i could go on. it’s just like this thing i hear ‘film critics’ (people on the internet who think their opinions are interesting) say #if you’re only watching horror movies where the characters are underdeveloped so you don’t care about them you should watch better movies #same thing with action movies. like sure you want to get to the action but plenty of good action movies have good character writing too #anyway!!

well now the question is what are your other fave sp fics i could use recs

omg now i gotta think hard about it bc its been a while since i’ve actually sat and Finished a fic (i love to just kind of Start them) my brain is also a little asleep so it’s gonna be a short list for now but i may add on later! all of these are on ao3 btw

most recently i reread like a couple of cosmonauts by tulliefullest and it was so so good i really recommend. i love the perspective on good end pcov style and i found it really sweet!

i also remember enjoying hollycomb’s ascent of stan but i haven’t read it in like. 5 years. so my memory is super foggy (i almost reread it last night but totally forgot to lmao) that said i remember enjoying it as like. a character study on stan while he’s going through a midlife crisis

another one in that same vein is offering garden finery with a frown by julads, which i also haven’t read in a while, but stuck in my mind as being just very sweet and quiet which i like in a fic

i reread ✔️✔️read by boyue a couple months ago and it was SO cute and even though the style and humor are very 2016/2017 i think it holds up! it’s a wrong number au which i’m always a sucker for

also if you have recs i’d love to hear some too!!! i may even read them if i can relearn how to read

#in general my favorite genre of style fic is like. adult established relationship dealing w the chaos of life together. #i don’t exclusively read that but those are the ones that came to mind hxhchsks #asks #fics

[obstinaterixatrix]

should I start scheduling the recs for midnight? well no I like the satisfaction of hitting post and also I’m always awake anyway. everybody, read women

#my ramblings #by the end of the month I want to have a curated list where it’s like #if you don’t like and/or aren’t interested in ANYTHING on the list that’s a you problem #like if you’ve already read it that’s one thing congrats and stuff #but I have VNS I have WEBCOMICS I have GRAPHIC NOVELS I have MULTI-VOLUME SERIES I have ONESHOTS I have HIGH SCHOOLERS I have OFFICE WORKERS #I have SLICE OF LIFE I have FANTASY/SCI-FI I have ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP I have TRAGEDY #well I only have one tragedy I think #I don’t actually like tragedies #BUT I HAVE ONE!!!! #I’ve been debating on whether to do run away with me girl or even though we’re adults #they’re not tragedy but more conventional drama isn’t really my genre #I don’t really like affairs :/ #ok. if you look at the list and don’t like anything but are interested in drama/divorce/affairs then fine you probably won’t find anything #I mean lady of the shard kind of has that fraught sorta stuff tho #I take it back my list thus far is perfect. you are the problem

[amtrak12]

Alright people, my brain is wanting to do anything and everything BUT write so....

What’s the general consensus/expectation for the fic tag “Slow Burn”? Is it only for romance (genre) fics where the couple is clearly in an established romantic relationship at the end? If there’s a grey area, how far out does it extend?

For my very specific case: I am exploring the family dynamics between the show’s primary couple and their daughter from the future, however I am doing it in a season that’s pre-romance and the couple won’t be in an established relationship by the end of the fic. Feelings will have been reignited, but nothing’s being acted upon since they are busy co-parenting a three year old. The romance is for a sequel after the child’s returned to the future.

Does that count as slow burn? Or would something like ‘long fic’ be better at conveying the length and pacing without raising expectations of a romance that won’t be truly started yet?

(Oh, and I don’t know if this changes anything, but this fic is intended to stand fully on its own despite my plan for sequels, so tags should reflect that accordingly.)

#I'm pretty sure I just answered my own question there #but still it doesn't hurt to ask the rest of the class what they think #like it's ship fic and the flash forward at the end obviously conveys an established relationship #but the plot is DEFINITELY focused on the family as a whole and not the romantic relationship #and I'm pretty sure Slow Burn is meant for romances only #It certainly originated with the romance genre

[raven]

i need to write again i need to revisit my story about the toxic teenage lesbians maybe that will fix me

#its the only thing ive ever had a plot outline for bc the plot is super basic but i feel that its fun and fresh #its like if coming of age wasnt boring. the reason i discarded it was bc i dont think it will fit in any established genre #like i dont want it to be YA. its not a romance either. its about a relationship between teenagers but its not those things #but i can write it just for meeee :3

[ghoul-haunted]

sometimes watching a show is yelling 'that is your asawa, apologize to him, u clown,' over and over and over again. thank god X finally said 'if you really are afraid of ghosts, then I'll catch ghosts with you,' because I was about to write some kind of fic where the art restoration guy fucks Y out of spite.

#sorry if he's afraid of ghosts its literally your job as his husband to go in swinging even if you don't #etc etc the application of binary gender roles onto queer relationships can be problematic #i dont feel like getting into relationship dynamics in an established genre so instead i will use filipino words that lack gender for this #but carry a specific kind of relationship connotation. to a degree. #'ah but tumblr user formerly referred to as cassiusapologist u called one of them husband in the tags' yes. i know what im doing #im playing 4D chess with two languages to approximate a 3rd one

I’m gonna be honest I forgot what I was going for three times through the making of this

Uh!! In the 3 of Everyone AU, two of the clocks get like. Attached to Neutral Colin. Like. VERY attached. We’re talking seeing all three of them in the same room at the same time but two of them are following the third.

I’m not sure what I wanna do for the other two Colin’s, maybe I’ll whip up something for one of them with Dusty Tony and leave the outlier for any other fun dynamics.

#also in this au the neutral tony and colin are in an established relationship #n.tony is mostly following n.colin around all the time because he does not trust pastel tony to not hurt his computer bf #which is a correct and valid concern!! pastel tony wants n.colin DEAD #pastel tony has no good reason for this he just spins a wheel and picks someone to kill in the pastel world all the time #ofc he’d try to kill the person his neutral counterpart cares about the most just to fuck with him #but also pastel tony and pastel colin are like count bleck and dimentio. they hate each other but cannot kill each other #cmon p.tony don’t self project!!! n.colin is so much nicer than p.colin :( #dhmis #dhmis au #dont hug me im scared #dhmis tony #dhmis colin #and i continue to not know how to draw blood. i’ll get there eventually #i know you guys (myself included) just LOVE whatever genre of character pastel tony is so that’s why i draw him alot #actually what genre of character IS pastel tony?? villain??? #he’s like. he’s. chaotic british. HE’S CHAOTIC BRITISH #dhmis 3 of everyone au

gotta be honest–the influx of "Yuri" memes over the last few months was starting to get on my nerves, but since gf and i started watching an actual good yuri anime i have something i'm able to apply them to :>

(it's The Magical Revolution of The Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady btw go watch it rn if you like gay women)

#vi posts #and no i don't mean ''b-but we're both girls'' and they maybe hold hands twice but ultimately never end up in an established relationship #←which is honest to god my whole problem with the entire genre (if you could even call it that) #i'm talking fully fledged ''protag comes out to her parents as a lesbian and sleeps with her love interest by the second episode'' #it's actually a lot more of a slow burn than what i've just described but i honestly prefer it that way #and the mere fact that it covered that much ground in so few episodes tells me this isn't just ''generic yuribait of the season'' no. 54972
