#i'll get back to writing I SWEAR

[starry-bi-sky]

more cfau miscellaneous things because Childhood Friends Danny and Jason have my head and heart always and I need to finish rewriting chapter two dammit (and redo the half-finished chapter 4 because its just Not The Vibes). i'm almost through I need to get through the graveyard scene. (i just stubbornly refuse to have it be shorter than the original chapter and thats the little death. that is the mind killer.)

Danny and jason’s ghost forms both smell faintly like burnt flesh and cigarettes. However, Jason has a more smokey smell while Danny’s smells almost,,, electrical? In a sense? Like he just straight up smells like burnt flesh and sulphur while Jason smells like someone put him in a smoker first.

It’s very much an unpleasant smell but Danny finds an odd comfort in it just as much as he finds a comfort in the smell of nicotine.

(Jason post-revival smells burnt flesh once and is immediately offput by the fact that it brings him an instinctive comfort. He doesn’t realize its because it reminds him of Danny, and is uncomfortable by it.)

-

In an au of an au, Danny’s altercation with Rath ends with Rath regaining enough of his sanity to snap out of the grieving state and ends with him breaking down. Instead of being souped and imprisoned, Rath, who is permanently 14, decides to Move On into the unknown. He’s exhausted, heartbroken, and tired.

(Is this influenced heavily by the ParaNorman scene where he talks to Agatha and helps her move on? Yes. But it doesn’t fit with the Original Storyline so im shoving it into an Au of an Au.)

Rath tells Danny that Jason lied to them (which he genuinely believes), and that he’s tired of waiting/looking for him/grieving. Jason is gone. He isn’t coming back, he abandoned them. And he wants his mom and dad, and his sister, and his friends. And he’s ready to join them.

He leads Danny out to Gotham, which other than Amity Park might’ve been the only city left untouched due to Rath’s own mental block on the place. They go out to the park he and Jason used to frequent or up to one of crime alley’s rooftops, and there Rath lies down and goes to sleep. Only to never wake up again, materializing into nothing as his soul moves on.

Before Rath leaves, he forces Danny to promise him that he’ll only wait for Jason for ten years. After that if he doesn’t find him, or if Jason doesn’t show, then Danny has to move on. Whether that be like how Rath does, or if its inly mentally/emotionally, doesn’t matter. He has to move on. Don’t wait for him. Don’t waste his time any more.

(“Oh, and if you find him, kick his ass for me.”)

Danny reluctantly agrees, and Rath lies down. Danny sings to him as he falls asleep.

(Angsty points if the vigilantes including Red Hood caught wind of their presence and were silently watching from the shadows. Rath might know they’re there, but Danny’s too focused on Rath to notice.)

(If only so that Red Hood realizes that this is what happened to Danny, and that Danny is gone before he can make things right. The tragedy, folks. The angst. The initial realization that Danny was Rath, and then also that Danny was dead and has been dead for years, and that before he moved on, he moved on believing that Jason abandoned him.)

(like i said it doesn't fit in the original timeline/storyline hence why its an au of an au and isn't nearly a fleshed out, but i was largely just focusing on the tragedy of Rath moving on and Jason being alive to see it and realize just who Rath is.)

-

Just like how the Lazarus pits shot Jason's twiggy 4'6-5'4 (depending on what you find) feet tall and 86lb ass up like a tree an essentially fixed his malnutrition, the portal did the same thing for Danny.

(granted i forgot about malnutrition and danny's likely stunted growth at first -- his family lived in crime alley and despite both his parents working, I don't think they had enough food all the time. He probably wasn't as badly malnourished as Jason was, but he wasn't healthy either.)

Granted his ghost in its "natural" state (14) is short, and his growth spurts were slow at first, it did result in him reaching his dad's height. There were points where it just happened overnight, like a baby. He went to bed one night 5’6 and woke up the next day 5’10.

Jazz is shorter than him. Although I have't decided if she's even liminal at all (and if she is, it didn't cure everything because she would have also suffered childhood malnutrition, and since in au canon their parents didn't get their hands on physical ectoplasm until after they got to Amity Park. So the exposure is less.)

-

Danny's voice absolutely sounds like canon Dan's. It kinda just dropped one day when he was 16-17 and never went back up. Sam and Tucker sometimes ask him to just talk about anything because they find his voice soothing.

I'm not sure yet how Danny would feel about it at first considering Rath, but I imagine that Rath, when he did speak, would have had a quieter and scratchier/weaker voice considering he's spent the last decade shrieking and crying.

(and i suppose technically that shouldn't have any effect on his throat considering he's a ghost and idk if that would actually affect him, but i like the idea so im keeping it)

In the beginning you could hear him from a mile away by the sound of his loud, echoing wails, but ten years later you can only really hear him by the soft, shuddering sobs he makes. Like he's gasping for air that isn't there. The future is full of very quiet survivors.

And it's much easier to speak when you pitch your voice upwards (especially when whispering/speaking quietly) so he might've spoken in a higher, airy pitch in order to be heard. So Danny might actually find a comfort in having a lower voice.

Hi Shiro! I hope you’re doing well! I know you’re writing Dangerous Dreams through a graysexual lens, but I also wanted to say how satisfying and validating it is seeing your DinLuke progress as someone on the greyromantic spectrum. The way you portray their slow-burn relationship genuinely holds a special place in my lone braincell.

Hello there! Ngl, the timing of your ask is rather incredible as I'd been complaining to people about being "too ace for this shit" while working through the drafts of the next few chapters for this year's NaNo. I'm really grateful for this sort of feedback; it lets me know I'm on the right track and that my fics are poking the right set of buttons in that one specific order for people looking for that kind of fic.

Thanks for stopping by, and hope to see you around :)

#shirozora awkwardly responds to asks #dinluke #series: dangerous dreams #i swear if shipfics didn't tickle my brain in that specific satisfying way i could do so much damage with genfics #i just love writing about all the things and the shipping plays one part of it. one very satisfying part. #(had to delete several tags about food history and using that for world and character building because uh. i shouldn't) #anyway i'm just really glad about the ways this fic series resonates with readers #and that it somehow manages to live up to the tags I tacked onto it #instead of me just imagining it is when it isn't #i'll shut up now and get back to writing

shall wait maybe to the next update to write more bc this will be definitely get more content but deeply fascinating that cathy ends up with this association with the mirror -which in the context of the game, represents change and mutability- while we witness in the present a lot of the abuse heathcliff receives keeps bringing back a supposed unability to change and become "a man of quality"... those cycles, man

#bell.txt #canto vi spoilers #i'll write a good post when we get more shit i swear. but theres already so much even just from the stuff hindley said #hilariously enough hindley gave me book!heathcliff vibes in some stuff he said like #yes he is more impulsive than how book h is very calculating #but smth about those You'll Never Change made me flash back to 'lets see if the tree wont grow as crooked with the same wind to twist it' #its a v fun adaptation of the same story. its bending in to eat its tail. fascinating

“For the murder of Miss Mia Fey, this court finds the defendant, Phoenix Wright, Guilty!” The judge pounds his gavel.

“Damn it,” Phoenix hisses.

There is no miraculous rescue. The guards come to take him away and the cell door shuts behind him with a clang. He doesn’t know how much time passes.

“You have a visitor.” The guards haul him out to the visitor’s room.

There’s no one he wants to see, not Maya’s tears, and least of all the man who’s waiting for him.

“You’re going to appeal, right?” the man who has replaced Phoenix’s once best friend demands. Phoenix barely hears it.

Edgeworth looks possessed, like he really is a demon.

“Have you come to gloat? To laugh at the fool who thought he could save you?”

Edgeworth at least has the decency to turn away in shame. “I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t bear… what I’ve done. I thought… if I could prove even you’re capable of murder… but I made a mistake…”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I understand if you never want to see me again, but let me represent you in your appeal.”

“What?” It’s the last thing Phoenix expects to hear. “But- but you’re a prosecutor!”

“Not anymore. After what I’ve done… I left my resignation on my desk before coming here.”

Phoenix really looks at him for the first time since the trial. He looks terrible, maybe even worse than Phoenix does after spending the night in a cell, exhausted and pained. He’s hardly recognizable as the same person Phoenix admired so much all those years ago.

But still, Phoenix quietly and cautiously says, “Miles?”

He winces.

morg... how do you feel about gortash??

Heh hehheh heh heheheh ok listen

it's important to know I have a built-in weakness for Banites. Call it a factory defective setting. There's just something about a ruthless cunt with cutting edge weapons and fashion. There's about 8 million jokes I could make about the Black Hand of Bane choking but I won't.

Secondly, it's important to note that he has the sickest gauntlet in the world and super dope clothes.

Thirdly, he actually does not betray you like I expected he would. He is actually perfectly happy to rule with someone as confident, clever, and competent as he is (pretty sure he just had a crush on my character but whatever.)

So uhhh I like him. I am perfectly normal about him, i swear. I really do,,,

“I,” he eventually replied, “have quite a lot of years to my name. A lot of years. But if you think I have lost my sense of humanity, need I remind you that I do in fact mingle with humans regularly enough?”

“That… That’s not the same!"

“I’m not sure what the extent of your knowledge of vampires is, but it is not like I can reverse the transformation. I do sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.”

@netwoven said 〝 you didn't need me anymore. ”

 ‍  ‍ her frown etches deeply into a scar - borne visage, furrows wrinkling between the tight draw of her brows and the corners of her mouth arcing downward. one of those expressions that hardens the morning mist of her eyes into steel. rarely does she look upon finnick in such a way, unless she is in one of her worst moods -- the ones when she is burning from the inside out with her own self - loathing and cannot stand to be in the presence of another. ( but even he has withstood those, often. ) it certainly isn't what she expected, seeing him for the first time since snow's execution. ( since she took initiative into her own hands and executed coin instead. )

 ‍  ‍ “ what the hell does that mean? ” katniss sits straighter in her chair, pulling her elbows from the table -- creating distance. she peers into those emerald hues and can't help feeling a little indignant. it isn't what he meant, some part of her knows, but her defenses prickle all the same. “ you were home, finnick. with annie. of course i didn't bother you. but that doesn't mean i didn't want to see you, or -- talk to you. ” they had all gone their separate ways for awhile, after everything. had to carve their own paths toward a semblance of healing. and katniss . . . katniss had been so buried in her own grief, that most days it was a battle just to get out of bed. to walk the house her sister's ghost danced. she couldn't have asked for anyone's company even if she had wanted it. it'd been all haymitch could do just to force his way inside on the odd weekend.

 ‍  ‍ she sighs, lowering her hackles with some effort. “ we all needed -- time. you never had to be my caretaker, but i didn't . . . i didn't forget. ” not about their time in thirteen, clinging to one another for sanity while they watched their loved ones break and the world warred around them. just because that time has passed, doesn't mean she doesn't still appreciate his company. his companionship.

[iturbide]

same anon as the not exaggerated joke but not joke about robbing plegia. God I love awakening, I really love chrom and robin and all that. But I am also facinated by Gangrel and Validar (and to a lesser extent Henry and Tharja (and also Mustafa and to an even lesser extent the various plegian officers you fight) Like there could have easily been an interesting exploration of any of those characters. Gangrel's a much less subtle example of how an ATTEMPTED GENOCIDE affected him. He went mad and is lashing out at those who both caused and did not take accountability. Like there's a lot there to unpack and look at, especially when you consider his general dismissal of the grimleal cult. Validar is one I really wish we saw more of (Validad wishful thinking in my brain). He was likely a part of the grimleal since before the war, being a failed vessel; how did he view the genocide, was he moved by what happened to other plegians, did that give him conviction, did he care at all? Did he see grima, or his own child as a means of retribution or even as a saviour for his people. There is so much that could have been done there. Also maybe Tharja and Henry should have more to say about their country being brutalised in 3 whole wars. Also also, please just acknowledge Mustafa he was so fucking cool and deserved a larger role in the story, I'd love them as a continuous antagonist/anti-hero who RIGHTLY points out the hypocricy of the ylisseans while still showing himself to be an empathetic and just leader. Fuck it make him in charge, put him on a council with Validar. Can you imagine the political debates between those two?

Anyway I'm gonna start reading Affectionately Yours to stimulate the part of my brain that awakening didn't

Look, I am deeply and utterly fascinated by Plegia. I have been for a long time. Roughly half my Awakening works on AO3 hinge on some extensive Plegian worldbuilding because Awakening really didn't bother with it and I'm too fascinated to leave it alone.

I have a lot of thoughts about Gangrel. I have a lot of thoughts about Validar. I have a lot of thoughts about who they could have been in different situations, and why they turned out the way they did. I honestly think that Gangrel could have been handled better in Awakening canon: I think his mother was killed by bandits when he was young according to canon? But imagine how much more potent his role in the story becomes if he lost his mother in the attempted genocide -- he was a direct victim, and that unaddressed trauma festered and turned him into the Mad King. (I have a whole post of backstory headcanons about that.) And I think that Validar is underexplored as a character, especially considering that he outright admits he's a failed attempt at creating a vessel for Grima, and what something like that would do to a person. (I have yet another post of backstory headcanons for him.)

Henry...Henry not really having something to say doesn't surprise me. Henry was a victim of basically every system he'd ever been part of. He doesn't have a stake in society, but he's culturally Plegian because it's how he was generally brought up. Tharja, though -- she I think should have things to say about the situation, because even if she does adopt a measure of disinterest in the general situation, that's her home. She's lived through these nightmares and been a witness to their aftermath. The fact that her being Plegian and how that's affected her was entirely squandered is an absolute crime.

and don't get me started on Mustafa. I love Mustafa so much. Mustafa gets a role in basically all my fics, I love him so much. He's in Affectionately Yours. He's in Cursed Fate. He's in both Crown of Shadows and Shrouded Throne. He's in my works in progress, he's in my backburner stories, he's everywhere. I absolutely adore General Mustafa and what he says about Plegia as a country, even though the game tries to pretend that people like him don't exist as soon as we finish out Chapter 11.

I have a lot of Plegia thoughts okay. And a lot of Plegia stories.

also please let me know if you have any issues getting into the fics, I locked them as a precaution against AI data scraping but I am 100% willing to unlock them if you want to read but don't have an account
