#imagine telling someone they're an inconvenience to God

[protectionsquad24601]

"Napoleon had been denounced in the realms of the infinite and his downfall had been decided. He was an inconvenience to God."

-I constantly think about this Les Mis quote. brutal.

God damn "dude/man/guy is gender neutral actually" discourse is really a sign y'all are fucking hopeless. Because the bar is quite literally on the FUCKING FLOOR.

You know the stereotypical "performative cis liberal ally"? The one who upon acknowledging they've been corrected about an accidental misgendering, turns it into an entire god damn show of apologizing and telling you how HARD they're working to gender you correctly. Yeah if you're someone who defends the use of dude and man as gender neutral terms guess what? Even with making every apology a grand display at least they're fucking apologizing and putting forth an effort to show you that they're putting your interests in mind.

Which is more than can be said of you.

Imagine if they were told they accidentally deadnamed you. And instead of the usual acting like they just accidentally hit their own fucking child they went "Actually I think [DEADNAME] is pretty androgynous and could be used for anyone of any gender! I'm not going to use it now that you have corrected me! But I just wanted you to know I didn't see myself as explicitly misgendering you when I used [DEADNAME]"

We are asking for the BARE MINIMUM amount of effort! Literally all you have to do is if your going to insist that "Using gender neutral terms when referring to somebody even when their actual gender is readily available information is actually the correct way to gender somebody online" that at the VERY LEAST use actual gender neutral terms instead of dude/guy/man. You don't even give up your use of it in your everyday life. You're only being asked to think about this in spaces where trans women are common such as online queer spaces.

That is how little trans women not being misgendered left and right in places that sell themself as safe for her matters to you. It matters so little that you can't even be asked to not do the barest minimum to not contribute to an environment where anyone who wants to misgender a trans woman with no repercussions can just Dude her knowing full well that she will view it as misgendering and fall back on "oh I was just being gender neutral. YoU sHoUdN't AuToMaTiClY aSsUmInG pEoPlE's GeNdErS!!" Which is a common enough occurrence that we have to have this fucking discourse.

The bar is on the floor and y'all are digging holes just to not have to face the smallest of inconveniences. Performative allies are fucking lapping you. You should be embarrassed.

Do better

I'm gonna mention this to you because you also like slashers and COD so I imagine there's a little monster fucking in there possibly? But god imagine Ghost as a non-human tho. Just like an actual beast of a man. Sharp canines, solid black eyes, bigger than what you had thought possible for a human. You barely notice when you first start because you don't want to inconvenience your Lieutenant. But things start sticking out. When he's not working, you notice the way he moves is like he's stalking something. Sometimes he huffs like a wolf. You make eye contact on a mission and really finally look, but there's nothing there. Just glossy black.

You're getting fucked by Soap in your cot, on top and facing a wall and he clicks his tongue and something moves behind you. Ghost steps out of the shadows, panting like a dog, and Soap is like "you don't mind if he joins do ya?"

Also calling him a good boy and patting his head 😌

I just think it would be hot and would explain some of the ways people write him as if he's an inhuman creature

sooooo on board with all of this!!!!

i try to be sneaky about it but i've described this man as a Cimmerian not just for the darkness aspect but the mythos too since it kinda fits him (and i love relating things that have no right to be related).

Ghost AU where he's some primordial being. a monster. a werewolf, perhaps. it has so much potential. i kept thinking about it, and this kinda got away from me. sorry!

When you join the 141, there is a heaviness in the atmosphere. A strange, stifling weight you can't make sense of. Tension. An unease. 

They tell you you're full of life when you walk in the room, smiling at them—but it sounds like a curse. They whisper it, as if they're afraid of speaking it aloud. Eyes filled with a gravity you can't begin to understand. 

You turn to leave, and they say stay away from him.

The him in this equation is made known when you set your eyes on the behemoth they call Ghost. 

When you cross his path, he stops completely. The world around you falls dead. Deafening silence. His eyes are a perfect polynya when he gazes at you. His head tips back, baleen lines stretching out. And then breathes in deep. Scenting the air.

His broad chest expands with it. A rumble sounds from low in his chest.

No man can be like this. 

(He was once a man, Soap muses. Maybe. Probably. Called him Simon. Simon Riley.

How can someone probably be a man?

His eyes are grave, shrouded in the mourning fog that sits low on the tombstones. You don't wanna know, bonnie.)

They tell you little about him, but you notice things. They keep their distance, and drop their chins when men go missing. No one looks. No one says a word. 

They're just—

Gone. Forgotten. 

Everything they once were is hidden away in a closet that can barely shut. 

Don't worry about it, hen. 

Just happens sometimes, mate. 

Don't go sticking your nose where it shouldn't be. 

You should listen. Heed their advice. 

But he's enthralling. A being made entirely of death. 

A strange feeling that settles low in your chest. There is a yearning inside of you that wants to know everything about this behemoth shrouded in tenebrose—a siren's call, beckoning you closer. It calls to you in the dead of night. spools over your thoughts until your head is full of him, him, him—

He's an enigma. A mystery. 

And then you see in battle. A shadow. A myth. No man can spill that much blood. 

Dread spools thick on your guts. A man like him should not exist in this moral realm. He does not belong. 

You turn to Soap—a man (human: flesh and bone, real)—but it does little to stem the fever inside.

He catches you when you sneak out of his room, smelling of alder and sex. 

He stares at you. Midnight hour, devils night—the warnings are tucked into the recesses of those unfathomable depths. Fear pools, knots inside of you.

"Have fun, pet?"

There is a chill in his voice, a growl deep in the pits of his being that resound through the corridor and make your bones shake. 

He stares at you—a greedy, covetous tinge in those Stygian depths. 

You're playing a dangerous game. Waving your breakable fingers in front of the maw of a starving beast. 

Stay away, Soap says. You really don't know what you're getting into, bonnie.

You smile. I know. I will. (Liar)

Something breaks. Curiosity. Obsession. Your neck prickles when he's close. You hear a rush of water when those black eyes pierce you; the call of a river thick with the stench of death. You think of the Styx when he turns to you. Hands shackled to your wrist; grip tight. no escape. terror blooms inside of you.

run run run run

"Watch your step, rookie."

Is that a warning in his voice? Why does it sound so—

Beguiling. Taunting. He gets under your skin. spellbinds you. You can't stop thinking about him.

You feel him in the shadows. Liquid black; death. Sometimes, you look at him, and you think you hear a hiss in the back of your head when your feet move, bringing you closer. An augury. a portant. 

Aeons ago, they warned naïve wanderers like you to be wary of the quietus in the fog.

—he leads you not into salvation—

You find him waiting for you, covered in blood and reeking of death. His head lifts. The Styx in his eyes. Damnation in the tilt of his head. He'll be your ruin. Your demise.

Your name falls from his lips.

(Too lost in the magnetism, that primal draw that brings you closer and closer, you miss the anathema that taints the word.)

His hand reaches out to you. Deadly, dangerous. Each breath he takes rumbles the ground around you. He smells of hellfire and rot. Sulphur. Ichor. It leaks into your lungs, your marrow. 

You're drenched in the ashes of Zaqqum.

A distant, almost atavistic warning rears in the back of your head tells you to run. But why? He's just a man. Just your Lieutenant.

Your fate is sealed the moment you place your fingers in the cup of his palm.

—but into perdition—

[yandere-daze]

The anon who sent the cult ask is back but this time, I'm not taking this ask seriously

Imagine player being transported to enstars, the idols are ecstatic that you're w/ them, only to find out that you simp for a side character

I'm gonna use Gatekeeper as an example (I do not know anything more abt this man other than what the fuck is up w/ those SS orders/penalties) but like. It must really suck that the person they're obsessed w/ has their eyes on someone so dangerous and the one behind the unhinged chaotic mess of an event that is SS

-😟 (signing myself as 😟 anon to represent myself reading whatever stories Akira comes up w/ for enstars *cough* Meteor Impact *cough*. God this game. Why are they like this.)

Welcome back, glad to have you here! I´m taking this as an invitation to add you to the anon list as 😟 anon? Please do tell me if I got it wrong or if you would like another emoji ^^ Honestly, I feel the same way, I could have never predicted any of this when my friend told me about the game and showed me the honeycomb summer mv ksnfsklnf What a mess I got into

I decided to combine these two asks because they were both about Gatekeeper, hope you´re both okay with that! I feel like I have to mention that I haven´t actually read any of the SS stories yet so I only know about some vague things I´ve heard about the orders and stuff like that. Maybe I´ll be able to elaborate on this a bit once I´ve read the stories?

gn reader

tw yandere, obsession, kidnapping, manipulation, violence, mention and implication of murder

A player that simps for Gatekeeper, who tries to use them to keep the idols in line

As you said, the characters would be so happy and excited once they find out that you´ve been transported to their world. They can finally talk to you without the constraints of the game and its coding, which greatly limited what they were able to say to you. Most of the programmed home screen lines were so painfully platonic when the characters wanted nothing more than to profess their profound love for you. And though listening to you speak and watching you through your camera if you gave permission was nice, it could never compare to actually having you right in front of them in physical form. They couldn´t wait to spend time with you and hopefully win your heart!

And while yes, you were friendly and always treated everyone with respect, it was as if your mind was always somewhere else. They could often see your gaze wander over crowds as if you were looking for someone specific, only to let out a disappointed sigh as if to signal that you didn´t find who you were looking for. It was quite irritating to see you so distracted when they were talking to you. Whoever you´re looking for can´t be that important, they´ll show you that they love you way more than that person ever could! So please pay some attention to them, will you?

Imagine their shock and despair when they find out that the one you were looking for all this time wasn´t one of them, but Gatekeeper of all people. They were at a loss for words, why were you looking for such a dangerous man? Did you not know of all the schemes he was involved in, that he was prepared to pull the trigger on anyone that was inconvenient to him? What do you mean, you think he´s handsome??? What? How???

I mean even if you don´t take his general personality into account, why did you fall in love with a side character like him in the first place? He doesn´t even have any cards you could pull for and he certainly doesn´t sing. You can´t set him on your home screen and you can´t let him visit you in your office. All the idols have way more to offer and yet you´ve grown fond of a man like him? They aren´t sure what to do at this point but one thing is certain: They can´t let Gatekeeper get close to you. They have to protect you at all costs. They couldn´t even begin to imagine what might happen were he to get his hands on you.

They all know from firsthand experience just how dangerous and cruel of a person Gatekeeper is. Do you not know of all the threats he had made, all just to make them comply with his schemes? Though the idols are usually at war with each other because they all want you for themselves, they at least can agree on this one point. They can´t let the Gatekeeper get to you, both for your safety and to prevent you from possibly being stolen away from them.

Gatekeeper isn´t aware of your presence yet, as a side character that only appears in certain stories, he isn´t self-aware within the game. He wouldn´t know that you are the player ( or that a person like that even exists) but he´s certainly smart enough to figure out that all of the idols and Anzu care a great deal about you and might try to use that to his advantage. We know that he´s willing to do morally reprehensible things so it´s not a reach to assume that he´s willing to harm you if makes the idols move and act in a way he wants. Your apparent fixation on him is something that only makes things easier for him and it´s something he´s certainly going to use against you. He might try to seek you out and act all charming to lure you in, only to kidnap you and make the others listen to him.

Don´t be fooled though, there are no romantic feelings involved in this kidnapping, he barely even acknowledges you as a human being, this is all just very convenient to him. Every single important person at ES seems to be so crazily obsessed with you, this is a golden opportunity for Gatekeeper to take advantage of. It´s almost too easy, being able to control everyone at once with only a single bargaining chip. Just threatening to harm you is enough to make everyone act accordingly to his will.

The idols definitely aren´t pleased about any of this. They were willing to only try and hide you at first to at least make the main story play out as normal so as not to cause any potential errors in the game but now things have gone too far. Gatekeeper has dared to take you as a hostage to keep them in check and that is a line he shouldn´t have crossed. Maybe he underestimated just how obsessed they all are with you because now they´re even willing to all work together to save you from your current predicament. They can continue to fight for your attention afterward, your safety is their first priority.

I also agree that Double Face would be the first ones to try and strike at Gatekeeper, they´re both willing to do dirty work if it means getting you to safety. They´ll at least injure him enough to send him to the hospital but the more they look at him, the harder it gets to resist the urge of just ending his life on the spot. They´re so angry over the way he had treated you and their hate for him reflects in the way they so brutally beat him down. Maybe the only thing preventing them from outright killing Gatekeeper right now is the fact that you´re close by and need their care and attention more than ever before. You must be so scared, having been taken hostage by a terrible person like him but don´t be scared, they´re here to save you!

Maybe Gatekeeper will just be silently moved to the hospital Eichi´s family owns and one of the doctors will coincidentally make a fatal mistake when tending to him

1 (with tmfs), 10, 14, 19 for the asks :3

I had a whole answer typed out and then my laptop crashed I'm gonna CRY

1. share a song that makes you think of tmfs

All of them. All the songs ever. Sam as a person is very Fireworks-coded, so I tend to think of "Play 'Only God Knows' At My Funeral" for her, and you can't do a hockey AU without a Tragically Hip song, so my go-to would be "The Lonely End of the Rink," but the most appropriate song is probably "Freak of Nature" by Heart Attack Man:

I kinda like the way they're staring at me Like I'm somewhere I shouldn't be I'm a freak of nature, broke out of my cage I'm on my worst behavior Freak of nature

I piss off everyone and now I got a target on my back Shorten up the leash, cover up your teeth Try and shoot me down but just embolden me

There's also a line in the bridge where someone tells the lead singer "You've got to be professional," which. Well.

10. is there a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

All of them. As I've stated previously, I am simply playing my guitar alone in my bedroom and all of a sudden sometimes I hear clapping. A group of people broke in and are treating it as a concert.

The truest answer is, of course, tmfs, because that was written for me and me only. At least in slumps, even if you don't know hockey, I think there are some largely relatable themes like pushing yourself to be the best in your chosen interests, or pining from afar. 2 Minutes is like, "Would you like to hear about how the salary cap ruined the NHL?"

I feel like Victor Hugo writing Les Miserables: let's get the plot and romance out of the way so we can get to what I really care about -- the Parisian sewer system.

14. if you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?

Slumps! Slumps! Slumps! It was born to be a movie. Part of it is that I think the two major themes (hockey games and metal music) are both represented better visually than they could ever be through the written word, but because mid-2000s emo music is so critical to the plot, just imagine how many needle drops there could be! Nancy hitting the ice to Underoath, Band of Horses playing as they pine from a distance... ugh, I love it.

19. give us a small teaser from one of your wips.

You greedy bastard, you already get the teasers! All I can say is that there's a prolonged discussion about the inconvenience of wearing a pencil skirt when you finally give into your attraction to one of your clients...

Fanfic Writer Asks!

[agender-john]

Your OCs are very pretty! Can you tell us a bit about them?

Get ready for an insufferable rant lol

SO!

My babies <3

Starting with the yellow one

This is kayree

If you're familiar with homestuck you'd be able to tell that he's a troll specifically a goldblood

He's happy upbeat and a dumb idiot and a safety hazard

He's got a lot of psionics he can't control and unfortunately for him he's really bad at regulating his emotions so a simple inconvenience is enough to get him into overload

Fortunately for the others they got someone how can manage his outbursts (she's not in the doodle dump might take about her later)

Aside from his psionics he's gotta deal with his space player role being the most essential player to the game has gotta put a lot of stress on him

It is not helped by the fact that he's a page so space powers don't come naturally to him

He might be a dumb idiot but he's not stupid he's really skilled with tech and robotics which allowed him to build prosthetics for another character

Who's that?

The red one!

This is madric

The malewife and muscle of the group

He often puts other's safety before his own so he gets hurt quite often

But fear not kayree is always here in case his wounds get too sever

As you can see from his tendency to put others first he is a knight

Not just any knight he's a knight of hope capable of doing the impossible through the cheer power of determination hope!

This is kinda reaching but i imagine as a hope player and a rust blood he'd be able to materialise the ghosts around to help him in a fight

Like a jojo stand

(Also he's a monster fucker lol)

The next three character are interconnect so i saved them for last

This is aiiram

She is a murder clown but don't worry she has no intention of murdering any of her friends

They have an interest in magic and the unknown which is fitting for a void player like them

Though the title of witch of void can be discouraging giving that it's one who controls nothing that isn't stopping him from being as powerful as his friends

They have two defining relationships with two other players

One (not in the dump will talk about him someday) she takes as a mentee teaching him all the ways of the purple bloods regardless if he wants to or not

The other is with some certain blue blood

This guy

This is sedrae

They seem like the mean mischievous type but what they don't want you to know is that they really care about others

Them and aiiram are lovers

While from aiiram's point of view everything is fine and they're not at risk sedrae knows better

They had the misfortune of being a doom player they are aware of what the game has in store for them their friends their loved ones and they're gonna change it

They're a theif of doom for God's sake if doom is approaching their game session they're gonna take it

And so far their plan for doing that is to fuck around and hope for the best

Which is a really horrible plan and no one knows this more than the one seeing all the outcomes of it

Who is this person

Our final character of the post

Noran

Long ago noran though they'd have a noraml life oh what a poor soul

Unaware of the nature of the game they decided to play it with the other's then to their horror they discover the consequences of that

Their planet is gone thir family is dead and now they're stuck getting visions of their friends dying over and over again

The hardest part of being a time player is knowing you can't do anything to change the timeline you can try your best but time always has a set direction

And as a seer they have no choice but to get those visions they are miserable they've failed to save their friends for years or months or maybe days time passage gets kinda blurry with time visions

Now they're desperate they are trying all they can to feel like they're affecting something changing events anything just so their friends won't die

I really angsted them so much huh

Anyways that's all

There's still like 3 more characters i might talk about them another day

#thank you for coming to my ted talk #lol #sorry for subjecting you all to this #those guys are rotting my brain #homestuck #fantroll #fankid

November 11, 2022

6:50pm

First of all, I cannot believe it is only 6:50pm. Daylight savings has absolutely ruined my perception of time. I am sleeeeepy. I went to bed at like 9pm last night. I turned 26 and immediately became a sleepy old lady.

Today I would like to rant about my supervisor. I dislike him so much. I cried on the way to work today thinking about having to interact with him, because my goodness he is so unpleasant to talk to. He is so fucking condescending. Any interest anyone has (or maybe it's just me I don't know) he has to immediately be judgmental about. He has the disposition of a guy that I would have wanted to impress when I was in high-school. The guy who looks down on everyone around him because he thinks he's too cool. He's an sculptor, and he smokes weed every fucking day. He fucking reeks of weed every god damn day, and...

....I don't know when this started to bother me so much, but my god it does. I don't share my judgement about this with people, because ultimately I don't actually give a shit, and I don't want to make anyone think I do. People smoke, they can handle their weed, and they like going about life like that, fine. But at what point are you drowning out your ability to enjoy life without being high? At what point are you killing your ability to just fucking exist and enjoy existing without smoking? The constant smoking irritates me more when it's someone like him. He's not an anxious person, he's a fucking asshole who says whatever the fuck he wants because he thinks he can, he doesn't need weed as an anxiety soother, he just likes it. It's gross to me.

That was not what I meant to rant about but whatever, I guess that's part of it.

This is harsh but I find him a revolting person. The way he deals with anger is pathetic, and he is angry nearly everyday. He throws shit, he marches around the place all pissy and complaining about having to do his fucking job, and if there is any minor inconvenience he'll hit whatever is nearest to him with whatever he has in hand. I've seen him throw a tape measure after knocking the table saw wall back a fucking centimeter (meaning he has to recalibrate it). I've seen him violently hit a table with a mallet because someone put too long of a nail in the tip of the bondo tube. I see him often all huffy and puffy talking about, "I am so tired of having to tell people this," even though we have new fucking employees every few months and it's his fucking jooooobbbbb. It's frightening to be around him when he's in a bad mood, I really can't imagine what he's like with his girlfriend.

He's such a bad supervisor. If someone does something wrong he addresses everyone about it instead of just addressing that person. Oh he's tired of telling people shit? I'm tired of hearing the same shit every time we have a new hire and they're still learning how to do our job. And he doesn't explain how to fix the issue, EVER, he just says stop it. So if someone isn't wrapping bundles of sticks right, they're not gonna learn how but they know that they need to be wrapped tighter... somehow. Fucking idiot. He does that with new people but when it comes to me??

He is always on my ass. On myyyy ass. He checks up on me multiple times throughout the day while he only checks up on my coworkers once a day. And like 8 times out of 10 he has something to fucking say. What irritates me about that is what he has to say usually has something to do with something that has never been an issue before. He just wants to fucking say something to me. Just to fuck with me. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I swear to god it's true. He just likes to fuck with me. Every fucking day, and I am so fucking tired of it. To make it worse, if it is an actual issue, and he needs me to be doing something a specific way, he just tells me to not do it the way I'm doing it, but literally nevvveeerrr shows me how to do it how he wants me to. I always have to ask for him to show me how he wants it done. Which sucks, because I do not want to speak to him. Sometimes if he leaves me that opening to ask, I won't, because I don't want to prolong conversing with him.

Which brings me to his general unpleasant disposition. He sucks. He is nearly always pissy. And if he's in the mood to chat then he's a dick. He's form of conversing is playfully making you feel like shit for your interests. Like, oh, you like x genre of music? That's so silly, I only listen to nu metal. Oh you like watching tv? Psh, why would you waste your time watching mind numbing entertainment. Like what the fuck do you want me to do man? Why the fuck would I want to talk to you if you make me feel like I'm beneath you for my interests??? He's so fucking dumb too, because he makes so many assumptions.

My coworker burned a massive burn pile we had, and I asked if he had taken any pictures (because I like large fires) and my supervisor chimed in with, "Not everyone films everything, people like to live their lives without having their phones out. Some people don't feel the need to take photos of every second of their life." He was laughing, playing it off as a joke, but he does this shit all the time and it's so fucking annoying. He doesn't know how I behave on social media, so I don't know why he's speaking to me that way. He also walked in while I was talking to my coworker about Love is Blind, the literal only reality tv show I watch, and on top of that one of the only tv shows I watch in genral, and proceeded to ask me why I'm letting a reality tv show control my life. Like fucking excuse me? I want to complain about someone's crazy behavior on tv for funsies and for a conversation at work, and you're assuming it's eating away at me?? What the fuck is wrong with you? Was I speaking to you? Did I ask for your fucking input? Why are you so god damn condescending?! What am I supposed to do with my free time? Smoke weed in my RV? Fuck off man.

My resentment for him is growing rapidly and I don't know what to do about it. I feel bad because I've been getting snippy with him as of late. My coworker was training me on how to build crates, and my supervisor walked in, made a snarky comment basically saying I wasn't doing something right, and I kind of yelled (while trying to keep a joking tone), "WELL IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHOW ME HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY INSTEAD OF MAKING SNARKY COMMENTS THAT WOULD BE FANSTASTIC". He chuckled and walked away I think sensing that I was genuinely upset. On Monday I walked in, he made a snarky comment, and I told him I was not in the mood for that in a very flat tone and his whole demeaner shifted because I shut him down.

I've run out of steam for now. I started complaining to my coworker because I need to talk to someone about it.

This next week is going to be stressful, my supervisor is going to be the worst, but then he will be gone for two weeks.

That AHIT au shiz

If u think you've seen this artwork or story before on Amino, yeah you probably did. That was me on the AHIT Amino XD

Tagging @xxfaylinnxx cuz they know me from there '^^ (sorry I tagged your other account '^^)

The au starts after Hat Kid got her soul taken by Snatcher, more specifically when she's going to Vanessa's Manor.

 She would get the Time Piece Vanessa had with her and sprint out of the manor as fast as her little legs could. However, Vanessa would find her halfway through the manor and actually follow her all the way to Snatcher's lair. I imagine that Vanessa never really found out about what happened to her prince. She locked him away and, a few days later, he mysteriously disappeared.

 Hat Kid would run as fast as she could back to Snatcher's domain and try to find him. She would be screaming and waving her arms in the air as she ran around Subcon Forest, ending up falling on one of his traps with Vanessa. Snatcher is just annoyed to see the kid wasting his time again, but he immediately stops when he recognizes the other figure.

 As he recognizes Vanessa, he immediately lashes at her to kick her back in the mansion, and a fight breaks out. Hat Kid quickly hides behind a tree with other Dwellers and minions, observing the fight between the two former rulers of the Subcon Forest. Against all odds, Vanessa gains the upper hand. As she prepares to freeze Snatcher to death a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶, he panics. All those memories of being locked away flooding his mind made him feel small again. Small compared to her. Then, with a desperation he barely know he still had, he let out what would start this whole au: that he only wanted to give her flowers.

 And, from that little sentence on, everything was about to change. Finally, after God knows how long, he was given a chance to explain himself. To explain who he was, to explain her what really happened that day, how he was merely buying her flowers. Oh, how one little misunderstanding lead to such a catastrophe. Hat Kid still watched in fear of what might happen next. Behind her, Dwellers and minions also felt concerned about this odd situation.

 After what seemed like the longest and hardest talk they'd ever had in their lives, both felt somewhat relieved. After all these years, this inconvenience was finally out of the way. Vanessa immediately jumped to her prince's arms, but Snatcher just backed away and hissed loudly. She wanted to go back to the good old days, when all that mattered was the kingdom and whether there was bacon in the fridge or not. Snatcher was about to let out one of his signature laughs and decline the offer, but he quickly realized something. If she unfreezed the kingdom, his minions could go back to their old houses and, with a bit of luck, he could regain his rightful place as a king. He also thought about taking over the kingdom and kicking Vanessa out as soon as he could. Now that... was a tempting offer.

 He agreed to be the king again, but with one condition: he would be in total charge of the kingdom so that nothing BAD were to happen again. Vanessa blindly agreed, telling her prince that she would go back to their kingdom to try and unfreeze everything before he moved in with his minions. He bluntly agreed and shooed her off the forest and back to her place. Hat Kid quickly tackled Snatcher, worried about what just happened between her BFF and the scary old lady of the manor, the rest of his minions eagerly curious about it as well. He grinned and explained his plan.

(Time Skip - After Hat Kid leaves the planet)

After Snatcher and Vanessa -somewhat- started to get along and catching up on eachother, and Hat Kid leaving the planet, Snatcher agrees to move into the village again with his minions. Vanessa immediately takes that as something cute her prince is doing for her, but in reality, Snatcher saw a chance to give his minions better living conditions and took it.

Things go fine for around a year: Vanessa slowly starts unfreezing the village, the minions move in their old houses, things seem to be looking great for this re-growing kingdom. Until, one day, Hat Kid's ship appeared once again in their sky, crashing in the Subcon Forest. Since most people recognized the little brat's ship right at first glance, they all went in a hurry to see what the peck was happening. Why was she there? How did the ship crashed? Was she alive??

Snatcher and Vanessa would immediately run to the place with almost the whole village right behind them, everyone curious and concerned about the sudden incident. As the flames swallowed the wrecked ship, they all grew even more concerned and scared.

The royal couple quickly rescued the still breathing kid and took her to the manor. After letting the kid rest for a while and taking care of most of her wounds, Hat Kid finally tells them why she crashed on their planet (not that it was on purpose, she said).

After getting back to her home planet, she had to face the consequences of the major disaster that was losing all the Time Pieces. Since they were so precious on her home planet, the incident was seen as a scandal and she was blamed for it. Her punishment was for her title as a Time Piece Retriever to be taken away, and to be kicked out of the planet. No food, water, Time Pieces, nothing was given to her as she was kicked out and sent to the vast and empty space. She'd been drifting without coordination for what she described as an eternity. She told them that she tried to remember the path she made from their planet to hers in a desperate attempt to, somehow, land there and at least be in a familiar place. Her spaceship was so destroyed from the long journey that it didn't made the landing and exploded.

Since she was so tired -and literally had nowhere else to go or even transportation at all- Snatcher reluctantly decided to let her stay in one of the rooms in the manor until further notice. Vanessa actually got extremely happy about it though.

Her habits had changed alot since Hat Kid left. Now that she was with her prince, and that the town was slowly regaining its former glory, she felt more lighthearted and excited about the future. She was still very possessive, but her prince wasn't someone who she could just tell what to do since he established a slight authority over her the moment he moved in. He immediately told her not to spoil the kid while she remained there. She.... somewhat agreed with that.

Au designs because they're my fav part to do in an au XD

[trashcatsnark]

I've been listening to some casual/chill interviews with Keanu (as one does) and he just has such a plesant, soothing voice. I can imagine V having insomnia, and them asking Johnny to tell them a story from his past for good night or something, Johnny being like "fuck off V, you can just to through my memories if you're so desperate" and V pulls out the "I'm dying and it's your fault, so this is the least you can do for me" trap card, so Johnny just sighs and starts to tell them about some adventures from the Samurai era, or how he sneaked out of his foster home to look at the stars. At first he just wants to get this over with, but he starts to feel V relax, so he gets caughed up in the story and actually puts some honesty and nostalgia into it. V falls asleep, but Johnny still lingers for a while, just to make sure they're sleeping soundly for tonight.

Ahhhhh YES

I’m here for A) Johnny becoming a comfort for V and B) Johnny liking being a comfort to V. 

And he’d always totally play it off as like, “I can feel your feelings so if i make you feel better, I feel better, if i help you sleep better, I sleep better” because god forbid he shows he has a heart at an inconvenient moment. But he totally just likes seeing them have moments of calm in the storm that is there lives. I feel like despite what he’d claim, he really does love seeing moments where V’s life can just be fun or calm or good. And even more when he can be the reason for it, V’s life is such a shit storm 99.9 percent of the time, those moments become so rare, a part of him just does wanna help bring some easiness to it. Telling them stories so they relax, singing a song softly for em, (though he’d insist he just is trying out some tunes in his head), convincing them to ride the rollercoaster , to enjoy a moment of calm in the chaos.  

I also just love the fact that Johnny and V in my opinion would have big old married couple vibes when it comes to stories. Like, those couples who’ve heard each others stories so many times they can recite it for them, but they still listen cause they just like hearing their partner tell it. Except for Johnny and V it was a I lived all your stories as if i was you, deal. 

I also imagine if they wanted to freak people out, post a happy ending (that totally exists) They could tell those stories to someone else in perfect unison, they even know how to match the others mannerisms as they tell it (Johnny’s hand motions for example)

Chapter 4: The Pursued Cleric (con’t)

Serafew was a bustling town on the border between Renais and Grado.

The two nations had been allies since long ago, and Serafew had always been a symbol of that friendship. The citizens of both countries lived there with no division between them, and they were able to enjoy many benefits with each other, like trading goods freely.

Yet now, those stories were all in the past. Serafew was now under the Grado Army's control.

Eirika and the others followed a road that was just outside of town, and planned their next strategy.

When they received the report from their reconnaissance team, Seth explained to Eirika, "If we're lucky, their guard will not be very tight. A Grado general stopped here all by themself, but has already left and started moving towards a fort to the northwest."

"A general…?"

Eirika remembered her meeting with Selena in the small mountain village, and it raised her hopes. If Selena was close by, then she wanted to try meeting her again.

"Yes, a man named Glen. He rides a dragon, and rumor has it that he is very strong."

"Glen… Really? He's here?"

Eirika remembered that name. It was only once, but they had met before.

When the continent was still at peace, she'd visited the capital city of Grado together with Ephraim. General Glen was a soldier that Prince Leon trusted very much. He was still young, yet already very dignified, and Eirika was impressed but not surprised that he'd become a general of the empire's large army at such a young age.

"General Glen has already left, and the security within the town is light. When the royal palace of Renais fell, they likely considered guarding this area to be of low importance. We'll be able to put up a good fight at our current strength."

Eirika looked again at the wall around Serafew in front of them.

"It looks like it would be unlikely for us to be spotted from the west gate. Let's enter from there."

They followed Seth's plan and went around to the west side.

As they'd predicted, the security there was indeed light. They hid their weapons and dressed as merchants. Just by doing that alone, the guards said "You may pass," and waved them through as if it was an inconvenience to do so.

"That was so easy that I'm disappointed!" Franz whispered.

At that same time, a man who'd appeared from around a corner approached them.

Eirika and the others were nervous, but the man said in a weary tone, "Excuse me, there's something I'd like to ask you."

He had the face of an intellectual, and was very tall. 

"What is it?" Eirika responded.

"I'm looking for someone. Have you seen a young girl with indigo blue hair?"

"Unfortunately, no…"

The man looked discouraged. He bowed his head to say "Sorry for bothering you," then left.

'The little girl must have gotten lost. Was he her father? Ever since public order started to worsen here, missing children have probably been a concern.' He must have been worried sick. Eirika felt pity for him.

'Should I break some of the soldiers off from the group to help him look for her?' She began to consider, but suddenly, she heard a loud noise come from in front of them.

"After her! Don't let her get away!" Yelled a gruff voice that came along with footsteps that were getting louder and louder.

‘What was that?’ Eirika wondered, frozen in place, when she heard someone make a threat.

"Turn yourself in, traitor!"

Then, she heard a higher-pitched, feminine-sounding voice. She couldn't make out exactly what the woman said, but  understood that she was begging desperately for something. 

A rough man's voice echoed through the air again, cutting the woman off.

"Silence! If you are going to beg for forgiveness, then do it before His Majesty! I was told that if you resist, then I may execute you on the spot!"

It looked like a fight was about to break out. Even without Eirika's orders, everyone immediately unsheathed their hidden weapons.

Eirika rushed ahead with the front line. The place where all the noise was coming from was a plaza atop a staircase.

A woman with a hood covering her hair had fallen over. Judging by her clothing, she was likely a cleric serving the gods. Surrounding her were Grado soldiers.

Though she didn't know any details about what was happening, she could never allow a large group of men to surround a lone woman and try to hurt her. She probably hadn't intended to cause a commotion, but in a circumstance like this one, there was no avoiding it.

When Eirika tried to rush over to her, the cleric stood up in one quick movement.

She took advantage of the men having let their guards down, and ran over to Eirika's army.

 "Are you alright?" Eirika shielded the cleric and asked.

Her feet gave out in front of Eirika, and she collapsed. "Wh… Who are you…?"

"I am a citizen of Renais. What's going on? Why are you being chased by the Grado Army?"

"You're from Renais…? Ah…!" The girl quickly put her hands together in front of her chest, showing her thankfulness to the gods. "There's something I want to tell you! Grado is…!"

However, they couldn't listen to the details at the moment. The Grado Army was coming. Eirika's army all readied themselves for battle.

The cleric quickly whispered to Eirika, "My name is Natasha. I cannot fight, but I am knowledgeable in healing magic."

"Then will you please take care of the wounded from the rear line?"

"Yes. But, before that… I want to try talking to the Grado soldiers."

"Huh…?" Eirika whirled around in surprise. 

Natasha looked serious, and was watching the soldiers closing in on them.

"But they're…"

"Trying to capture me. I know. However, there is something I must tell them no matter what. If things continue on as they are now, then something terrible will happen…"

Each and every word she spoke was uttered with strong determination.

Whatever she wanted to say, it sounded serious. All Eirika’s army could do was protect her as she searched for someone who looked like they would listen to her.

It was an extremely difficult task, but Eirika had made up her mind to see it through. “Then we will be your guard. Please do not leave our sides.”

“Thank you!!”

The battle began. The Grado soldiers immediately started calling out for help, and soldiers rushed in from all four directions to provide backup.

This battle set within narrow city streets was completely different from any they’d fought before. Not only was it very difficult to use long weapons, but the horses’ and pegasi's movements were also limited.

And to make matters worse, although the area was in ruins, it was still where many local citizens made their living. They wanted to keep the damage done to the buildings at a minimum, and had to be careful at all times not to get the common people who had yet to run away involved.

While fighting this grueling battle in conditions that they were not used to, Eirika’s army slew the enemies coming at them.

Both sides fought with the intent to kill each other. It seemed nearly impossible that Natasha would find anyone that she could talk to.

Among the enemy army was one especially strong man. And not only was he strong, but he also had long, fiery red hair, and wore stylish clothing that looked nothing like what the other soldiers had on, making him stand out all the more. This made it clear that he was not a formal soldier, but a mercenary working for money.

His swordplay was, for lack of a better word, whimsical. But though he would crack an occasional joke and move as if he was playing, he always hit his target. His ability to perfectly hit his target's weak points was unparalleled. The other Grado soldiers weren’t very tough, but that one mercenary toyed with Eirika's army and made the battle difficult for them.

The mercenary lightly dodged the opponent attacking him, then landed in front of Eirika as if he was floating. 

Eirika tightened her grip around her sword and shielded Natasha standing behind her.

“Do my eyes deceive me? What a beautiful swordfighter I see over there!” The mercenary said teasingly, then turned towards Eirika and swung his sword playfully.

“I’m so jealous. The Grado Army is full of filthy men. There’s not a person with taste to be found... Whoops!” He repealed Eirika’s sword with a laugh, as if he was playing a game. “You’re pretty good, aren’t you! But you still have a long way to go. Your left side is wide open.”

After they clashed swords a few more times, Eirika realized the difference in their power.

‘He’s too strong. I’m no match for him. I can’t win. He will kill me.’ She shrank back in fear.

Natasha jumped out from behind Eirika in desperation.

“Natasha…!” Eirika shrieked. 

There was no way she planned to talk to this mercenary, was there? It was no use. Eirika couldn’t imagine there was a way such a person, who treated everything as if it were a game, would lend an ear to the cleric’s serious story.

The mercenary also appeared to be completely dumbfounded. He drew his sword back and muttered “Whoa, that's dangerous!”

“Do you remember me? We crossed paths while I was running earlier…”

He looked at Natasha and furrowed his brow, then nodded. “Yeah, you’re that cleric! Wait, are you the traitor!?”

“Were you hired to keep me quiet?"

"I mean… I was told that if I got rid of you, I'd receive a huge reward. That's just how the mercenary trade works, so no hard feelings."

"I do not care about what happens to me. But I want to tell you this. The current situation within the Grado Empire is not normal. If the other countries are not warned about this danger, then all light across the continent will vanish."

He looked down at Natasha apathetically. He seemed to have lost all killing intent, as his word was now drooping at his side.

However, that did not calm Eirika.

This opponent was a mercenary, meaning he was a member of a parasitic group in society who would take on any job for money, no matter how much it dirtied their hands. It was too optimistic to commit to persuading him.

"...You know, I don't care at all about Grado or the continent. No matter what you have to say, it's all the same to me."

Natasha's expression changed to one of complete determination. 

The man smirked, then continued speaking. "Although I'd hate to see a beauty like you be done in by these Grado barbarians. Say, do you like to gamble?"

"Huh?" Natasha stared at him in confusion.

The man reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a small object.

"There's nothing I love more in life. ...Though I haven't a shred of luck. I always lose." The man flicked the object he'd taken out into the air with a clink.

It flipped over and over as it flew in the air, then landed back in his hand, revealing that it was a gold coin. "Let's bet on it! If you win, I will believe you."

"What…? You want me to gamble…?"

"All you need to do is choose heads or tails. So, which one am I holding?"

"...Heads… No, tails…" Natasha said weakly. 

The mercenary's eyes lit up. 

"Alright then, if it's tails, you win. If it's heads, then I win. The anticipation in this moment is incredible, and I can't stop chasing it. Know what I mean?"

Neither Natasha nor Eirika felt any anticipation whatsoever, rather, they felt as if their hearts would jump out of their chests. 

Natasha put her hands together and whispered, "Please, gods, please…"

The mercenary slowly opened up his hand. Natasha swallowed and asked, "Which is it?" 

The mercenary sounded full of himself as he answered, "The result is… tails. Like I said, I'm not lucky at all! Or wait, maybe I am? I do get to become allies with a beautiful woman like you."

"Really? You'll really join us!?"

"Yeah. If you go against a loss, then you'll upset lady luck, and you'll never win again."

Eirika couldn't believe what she was witnessing. Did a person who would leave something so important to a coin flip really exist? It was taboo for a mercenary to betray their contract. If he was captured by Grado, then he may even be executed.

But the man was entirely serious.

"The name's Joshua. Nice to meet ya. Shall we start by cleaning up around here?"

He once again took a fighting stance, returned to his usual whimsical self, then threw himself right into the thick of the battlefield. The only difference was that this time, his opponent was the Grado Army.

"Damn you, mercenary! Are you betraying us!?" Those on Grado's side noticed tha Joshua was coming towards them, and started shaking.

"Yeah, sorry about that." He said with a laugh before unleashing an attack that was frightening in both accuracy and speed.

The tide of battle reversed completely. Eirika's struggling army took back their momentum. The Grado Army, enraged that they were losing, stampeded towards Eirika's army as if they wished to bring about their own ends.

After the battle among the city streets was over, Eirika and Seth moved over towards the rear support group to check up on Natasha, as once she'd finished talking to Joshua, she'd retreated to the rear line to heal the injured.

Moulder stood up from among the wounded and approached Eirika.

When Eirika called out to him and said, "Thank you for your hard work," he laughed.

"This battle was a really tough one. Our army has a lot of injured as well."

"Oh, really…?

"But please feel at ease. They are healing very well. I might not be able to handle this much work all by myself, but the beautiful cleric is working with me."

When Eirika followed Moulder's line of sight, it led her to Natasha, waving her staff as she talked to the injured. They looked not in pain, but happy as they circled around her.

"As you can see, she's very popular. Some of the injured even ran away when I tried to heal them. They said they didn't want me, and asked her to examine them. I couldn't agree to such selfish requests, and when I forcefully healed them, they complained that they missed their chance. My my, how deplorable…"

Eirika couldn't help but laugh at Moulder's disappointment. She was worried that the rough soldiers might scare Natasha, but if that was what was actually happening, then she would be okay.

Natasha finally saw Eirika and the others and walked up to them. The worried expression she'd had on her face during battle was gone, and she was now smiling calmly. "Thank you. How can I ever express my thanks to you?"

"Are you from the Grado Empire?" Seth asked.

Natasha nodded. "I was a helper at a church within the empire."

"Then why are you being chased by Grado soldiers? Can you tell us what's going on?"

Natasha's smile vanished. It seemed that she was holding in something very serious.

She looked away from them and began to speak. "...It happened a few days ago. The bishop who served as my teacher was suddenly captured and executed. He was accused of the crime of treason… but he was framed. The emperor killed him. To silence him."

The harsh words that Natasha had managed to say shocked Eirika. 

Seth also looked surprised, and responded, "To silence him?"

"Yes. Right before he died, he said this to me: 'The emperor is trying to destroy the Sacred Stones.'"

Eirika couldn't believe her ears.

Until she'd heard this, she'd thought that perhaps Natasha had happened to learn something by chance, and that's why she was being pursued. But this secret she'd told them was no such simple matter.

The Sacred Stones were known to all as the stones in which the Demon King was sealed, saving the world from his reign of terror long ago.

There were five in total, and to this very day, one was located in each of the five major nations of the continent, and were considered the most valuable treasures in all the land.

Renais of course was among the nations that housed one of the Sacred Stones. The shrine in which it was placed was guarded as the central location of their religion. The four remaining stones should each be in Grado, Frelia, Jehanna, and Rausten.

Word had it that the Grado Empire was already trying to completely destroy their stone, so the chance that they'd already destroyed it was high. And during the invasion of Renais they had likely destroyed Renais' stone as well...

"Why would the emperor do such a thing?"

Natasha shook her head sadly at Seth's question.

"I do not know. His Majesty has always been.  known for his warmth and wisdom. He is loved by both those who serve him and the people. However, ever since that day, he's been so cold that it's like he's another person… and then he devised a terrifying plan to destroy the Sacred Stones. That is what the bishop told me. He also told me that we must tell the other nations that house the Sacred Stones, for if we do not put all our strength into protecting the stones, then something terrible will happen… I tried to flee the country secretly, but the soldiers found me and started chasing me."

"So that's what's been happening…" Eirika looked at Seth.

He was staring down at Natasha, as if he was trying to see through her, with a stern look on his face. 

"What do you think, Seth?"

"We cannot accept the word of someone from Grado without question. However, if what she says is true, then we cannot ignore it."

"Yes… it is a very serious matter. We must do whatever we can to stop it…" Eirika remembered her bad feeling.

The enemies waiting for them upon their path were not just Grado soldiers. The terrifying shadow of something much bigger was looming over them. Though they did not currently know what it was, right now, all they could do was continue forward.

**LONG ASS FUCKIN POST INCOMING**

(read: tumblr mobile nerfed the readmore button)

i love my ffxii 'everyone lives but gets really, really weird au' because of some reasons

highlights: also, please read every part of this as if its' happening in a slice of life sitcom. that's how i see it and its also funnier that way

vayne is pronounced "dead" by the government (read: larsa telling everyone he's dead so he doesn't force himself to work) and lives in the archadian palace as a practical cryptid, zargabaath sees him once sneaking through the halls and almost faints because he thinks he's seen a ghost (after his 'posession' by venat his hair grows in white-grey, and he practically looks half dead once the mist leaves him, further cementing the fact that he looks like a ghost

venat personally obliterates the sun cryst and enjoys every second of it, they still attack gabs bcos they think he's trying to defend it tho. they later figure out that that was Not the case but ! whoopsies !! give it a few centuries and they will feel less bad about it

gabs now has to deal with two solidor scoundrels™,, and he is obviously in NO STATE... to deal with either of them because vayne is Absolutely Fucking Horrible at being dead and larsa is a literal child emperor who is doing his best

it's heavily implied that on vayne's Very Important And Official Visits To Draklor, For Political Purposes, Definitely Not To Hang Out W/ The Homies literally all he did was accidentally break really fragile machinery to the point that almost all of the staff knew not to let him touch anything

balthier inherits the family manse and it turns out no part of it functions ever. it's all highly mechanized but since The Father was practically living in draklor for the past 6 years it's fallen into a Bit Of Disrepair and nobody Quite Knows How to Fix It

vossler's life might be one small catastrophe to the next but he hasn't made an expression in like 10 years anyways so nobody can tell if it bothers him. basch might but if he does he doesn't mention it to anybody because gods forbid vossler INCONVENIENCES SOMEONE,,,

basch n noah get back on 'speaking terms' re: they literally make up lost time by being absolute rascals as if they were still 16 . this amuses nobody but ashe and larsa who think it's literally the funniest shit known to man.

fran becomes a viera ambassador after finally convincing jote that working in tandem with humes will help them as a whole. unfortunately she very often disappears for weeks at a time only to show up with a different, significantly more tricked-out hoverbike every time

anders/alexandra (balthier's mom, in hc,, where he got the pirate blood from) didn't die! whoops! just kind of disappeared after her private aircraft went down in the salikawood and was pronounced dead but nobody finds this out until far later and she just Shows Back Up In Archades one day like 'wassup ive been living in sochen and phon as a hunter for the past 8 years. sorry about your like whole childhood kid' and balthier just . . turns around and walks back inside like. this is enough bullshit for one lifetime ..

vaan gets a ship and names it the tiamat, penelo paints a dragon on the side of it, they become rlly mysterious sky pirates that work out of balfonheim [balthier voice]: they grow up so fast ............ :')

ashe brings in a bunch of the dalmascan lowtown kids and their parents into the palace in rasler's name, if vaan and penelo came from the slums and helped save all of ivalice, imagine what these kids could do for their future

rasler, raminas, and reks still die which makes me sad but quality of life wise i couldn't see a way to keep reks alive half dead and poisoned/raminas needed to die to progress the plot at all/rasler also had to die to let the plot advance and also like. ashe needed righteous anger in there im SORRY boys :'(

reddas helps vaan out a little bit and practically becomes vaan and penelo's dad. they love being pirates and since they're knew they get into some close scrapes but always miraculously get out of it fine... definitely not with the help of a certain pirate king...

#xii tag so i can find this #xii #the xii tag is just so i can find this again sorry if any of you were looking in the real ffxii tag and see all of my bullshit

idk] Jimmy: [I like that idea like he doesn't say anything here and now so she's like thank fuck I might have actually gotten away with this but then later when he's drunk he could be like about to go and wants her to go with him or whatever] Jimmy: [I also like the possibility that he could say something to Mia at any point #mildperil] Janis: [that's a good idea, bide your time, dickhead] Janis: [also we know she's snekky so instead of being like um why do you keep looking at her and being salty she can probably get something out of him, she's smart and he ain't really so] Jimmy: [yeah that's what I thought and she'd love knowing that Janis 'cheated' this early on for JJ so] Janis: [exactly, hence she can nudge Harry into making that post after the basketball match drama] Jimmy: [OMG yeah I never even thought of that] Janis: [masterminding] Jimmy: [ironically Harry getting with Mia cos she doesn't play games which he thinks Janis is rn] Janis: [lmao good luck with that you already being played now and you got no clue] Jimmy: [I almost feel sorry for him but he didn't need to post those nudes so I don't] Janis: [mhmm honey] Jimmy: [live your best life at this party til later though JJ my babes] Janis: [hells yeah] Jimmy: [it hurts my heart cos they'd both relax thinking shit's okay now and be actually having a good time, fuck you Harold] Janis: [he probably thinks whomever it was has gone, like] Jimmy: [yeah exactly and like not gonna think about it too hard cos her mood has clearly changed and that's the important thing] Janis: [is there anything we wanna do specifically or, how we doing this?] Jimmy: [I think we can probably just skip to when Harry fucks things up because we know the vibe but yeah how do we wanna do that like maybe we can just plot out how it would have gone and see from there cos like she might run away or Jimmy might smack him we don't know lol] Jimmy: [like what do you think he should say/do?] Janis: [Hmm, like you said maybe he comes over and is like okay come back with me though, like enough 'games' now and is ignoring Jimmy so obvs he's like excuse you piss off then when Janis is also like fuck off no so then he's salty and says something when he's walking away like 'tell me how my dick tastes' 'cos he would] Jimmy: [well that's lovely thank you Harry, you're so getting smacked now boy cos his ex was a hoe and he doesn't need to be triggered like that] Janis: [when the worst you were expecting happened and a hoe gotta go] Jimmy: [clearly should try and follow her because how's that gonna look if she leaves without him but doesn't because literally doesn't care about any of that in the moment obvs] Janis: [we're not keeping up the act rn, hopefully there were minimal people about and we can just call Harry a liar later like he's not a trustworthy bitch peeps be known] Jimmy: [yeah I doubt there were many people outside and they'd all be drunk af whoever were and like you said he's not coming through with proof but I hope Janis ain't going to mcvickers gaff cos if Jimothy is going home they'd have to go the same way lol] Janis: [lol imagine, I'll make her run off in a different direction don't worry] Jimmy: [poor bitch she doesn't need the awkward walk of shame] Janis: [she know some places, go work out that aggression again, not that you can but you know] Jimmy: [mhmmm god only knows what Jimothy is gonna do when he gets home cos you can't just casually go to sleep like this is fine] Janis: [I'm like what are you gonna do, what are you gonna say, oh girl] Jimmy: [and how long are you gonna leave it to have the convo too like] Janis: [right, when you wanna do it now to say it, but then you're like, he's not gonna wanna and you're scared too but you don't wanna leave it too long, gay] Janis: [gaaaaaaaaaay 🙄 GAH grammarly GAH ] Jimmy: [he's gonna have to act like he's so not bothered cos it's such early days I'm gonna die] Janis: [okay, I'm gonna say next morning, torture yourself, and inadvertently him, all night] Jimmy: [yassss] Janis: Hey Jimmy: Morning Janis: You alright?

go for the park, like we always do but it's real, and if we make it a nice day, teens would be hanging to peep 'em] Jimmy: [oh true] Janis: [I can't think of anywhere else they'd both be and other people to see, 'cos I was thinking we could steal when Ellie was doing the family shop 'cos Janis could do it too for something to do but idk if any other teens would really be there to the level you'd be like 'we must go 'round this shop together' maybe when they're more 😍 again though] Jimmy: [yeah unless like someone worked there and clocked them but even then a bit of a flimsy excuse probably] Janis: ['cos I doubt any of the flat whites are working in a supermarket so yeah] Jimmy: [exactly and my other thought was maybe it was the pool or like a sports thing but Janis already did the school trip for extra credit so I doubt she'd have to do anything else] Janis: [unless she is just there working out 'cos said about being underwater and not able to hear shit so good throwback] Jimmy: [OOOH] Janis: [also the levels of awks like oh hi we're all just here in our swimsuits lollll we're mean but it makes sense, especially if there's like a kid's holiday deal or some shit you know the vibe] Jimmy: [I'm just imagining in angus thongs when her tan 😂] Janis: [thank god you ain't that hoe lmao] Jimmy: [if Asia is there though lol she is] Jimmy: [she could totally have a little sister and be there like] Janis: [just swimming like a mum] Jimmy: [sending Mia JJ updates with her waterproof phone cos that bitch don't swim so she ain't gonna be there] Janis: [when you just want the ground to swallow you up and you're just saying and looking like I am SO sorry whenever you can 'cos you can't just leave] Jimmy: [casually regretting giving her all those lovebites last night now cos that's all you can see and it's not helping you pretend to be unbothered haha] Jimmy: [thank god 😒 is his default expression] Janis: [up in this pool like a woman shamed in so many ways lol, at least the kids are there for some distraction] Jimmy: [we know Bobby is a shy clingy lad so that'd take a lot of his focus and save us all from dying even more than we are, Cass just trying to drown him cos she's mad he stayed out for ages last night too probably]] Janis: [and you're a #seriousathlete so you can go do some laps without Asia clocking anything God bless] Jimmy: [I really hope the Cass and Jimmy playfight splashes Asia and she gets her hair wet] Janis: [the least she deserves for enabling this awkward rn] Jimmy: [imagine how annoying her little sister would be, stay away from her Bobert you are too sweet] Janis: [fucking little Europe or some shit Jimmy: [We should do China or America cos both on this list I just found] Janis: [ew hate/love that] Jimmy: [maybe there's two of them oh lord] Janis: [Grace be so jelly] Jimmy: [not making them twins though cos she would die] Janis: [forever triggered lol] Jimmy: [I'm thinking one around Bobby's age and then one older but still younger than Cass like] Janis: [sounds legit to me, should we skip forward or try to do this a bit and see what happens, idm] Jimmy: [at least if there's two of them she'd be busy herself so she can't stalk them as hard, I say why not try and see what happens] Janis: [so obviously we wanna do races, who can hold their breath longest, handstands, whatever other tricks you can do in a pool] Jimmy: [Cass throwing her key on the bottom to swim for it, Jimmy like no bitch cos she always loses em and he'd have to get so many cut without encouraging that behaviour] Janis: [gotta lay down the law with a child just attached to you lol God bless] Jimmy: [how awks because this is so early on so like they know nothing about each other's lives and Cass has probably instantly decided she hates Janis and Bobby is like 👀 deer in headlights] Janis: [we're all dying lol like Asia please leave] Jimmy: [Jimmy like neither of you say anything about our missing maybe dead mum or dickhead father please while trying not to betray how he feels about this fake dating/ Harry situation...so chill] Janis: [the stress good lord] Jimmy: [thank god he does have work later I said so he can use that as excuse to leave sooner than he actually needs] Janis: [Asia probably gon follow] Jimmy: [ugh true so then he has to ask Janis if she wants to come so she can hear because 😍 obvs] Janis: [at least she'll have the sense to make up an excuse 'cos we don't need to prolong this casual torture lol] Jimmy: [and at least he has his sibs there so the 'goodbye' doesn't have to be extra af] Janis: [at least we're buying ourselves more fake dating time here 'cos the awks and anger] Jimmy: [I'm proud of us but I'm sorry lads before he goes you've gotta have hot chocolate like I always did after swimming I don't make the law] Janis: [my boo insists, also the kids obvs, like he doesn't work in a cafe and you could swing by there, no no] Jimmy: [yeah fuck your pretentious latte art bitch] Jimmy: 👍? Janis: the ☕️? Janis: not bad but don't reckon they'll replace you with a 🤖 quite yet Jimmy: 💧 on my apron Janis: no doubt help with the 💸💸 tips Jimmy: they'd be more 😍 for 💦 or ☔ Janis: too nice a day for the latter Jimmy: [shrugs cos it's april so could happen] Janis: shouldn't have dried your hair Janis: very music video Jimmy: [when you're amused but you have to hide it so you get your phone out for selfies like she gave you the idea cos tbh not trying to get put on a register by taking 📷 in the pool] Janis: [🙄 but 😏] Jimmy: [casual selfie sesh and then busying yourself putting them up like] Janis: never off the clock, eh Jimmy: two jobs'll do that Janis: wouldn't know Jimmy: bit rude to rub it in, rich girl Jimmy: this ain't a 🎻 sorta place Janis: just the kinda rich girl I am Jimmy: You're alright, I'll keep the 🔪 in my back out of shot, know enough 📷 angles, me Janis: it's really bad manners to bleed everywhere, you know Jimmy: I know how to clean up after myself,  that'll be the kinda poor boy I am Janis: 🚫🎻 Janis: you said Jimmy: I weren't saying it to 💔 you Jimmy: not my job Janis: just saying, follow your own rules Jimmy: make me 😘 Janis: not really got room to lecture there Jimmy: room for nowt 🦒 Jimmy: 🚫🎻 Janis: don't be short about it Janis: you're almost entirely in the right, you may as well take it Jimmy: piss off Jimmy: almost Jimmy: I've done nowt wrong 😇 me Janis: Nah Janis: you told me to do it Jimmy: convenient that Janis: is it? Janis: doubt that Jimmy: for you Janis: Yeah, clearly Jimmy: dry your eyes, mate Jimmy: were obvs such a good idea at the time Janis: You only set all this bullshit up for failure, not me Jimmy: how did I? Janis: You literally said it was fine Janis: I was the one saying it'd probably fuck it up Janis: I did it and I've tried to make it up but you don't care and you're offering no solutions so fuck it Jimmy: we don't need owt 'cause nobody knows owt and even if he says owt it'll sound like bollocks Jimmy: sort your head out Janis: yeah 'cos it's ideal for you to have to punch out lads all the time Jimmy: might be Jimmy: might make my dad proud of me Jimmy: a scrap might just be a laugh Janis: you want me to say you're welcome then Janis: alright, that's that then Jimmy: want you to carry round a 🪥 next time you fancy cracking on with dickheads like that Jimmy: but alright Janis: cheers Janis: you give great advice Jimmy: might do, if we were mates Janis: well we obviously aren't Jimmy: 😮😮😮 Janis: whatever Janis: [making these awkward goodbyes] Jimmy: [when you don't want her to go even though this is awful] Janis: [when you cannot take any more though] Jimmy: [pulling her back like he wanted to last night but couldn't cos he can pretend it's so fake lol lol lol] Janis: [when you're like 'what?' all light and jokey for the fake but then you look at him like actually though] Jimmy: [boy quick tell your face, Daniel will be livid, that you're giving yourself away like this] Janis: [just in a stare-off rn] Jimmy: [leaning in like he's gonna kiss her but obvs can't cos too real rn so he's like 'stop being a dickhead' in a whisper like that's what he was gonna do all along] Janis: [when you're actually like stunned lmao 'great advice as always, Taylor' under your breath and then a faker 'see you later' moment for the rest] Jimmy: [😏 because annoying her is easier and safer as is blowing her a kiss like bye babe] Janis: 🖕 Jimmy: 💕 Janis: you're so irritating Janis: please don't need me for another 3-5 working days yeah Jimmy: I gave you an out, girl Jimmy: It ain't my fault that lad's 🏆 an' all Janis: I knew he was a dickhead before I did it Janis: not 💔 Jimmy: massively your type every 3-5 working days Janis: you reckon, do you Jimmy: you just said Janis: I didn't Janis: I said I knew he was one, not that I was about it Jimmy: if you weren't about it you wouldn't have done it Jimmy: unless you're not about this, and if that's it, take your out Janis: 'cos those are the only two possibilities Janis: I'm 😍 or sick of this and ain't got the balls to say it Janis: well it's neither, tah Jimmy: I never said you were 😍 Janis: alright, my type, whatever, it's the same thing Jimmy: if you wanna get with lads then you obvs ain't gay so we don't need to do this anymore, that's what I'm saying Jimmy: he'd have been happy enough to brag about how straight you are Jimmy: next time take a 📷 and you're 👍 Janis: you really think that thought had never occurred to me prior to this? Janis: if I wanted that, I would've done it ages ago Janis: not my first time, whatever popular opinion dictates Jimmy: weren't gonna chuck you a penny for 'em, my dear Jimmy: If I wanted to wait around at some shit party while another lad sorts out the lass I'm with, I'd have my ex back Jimmy: not my first time at that Janis: all you had to do was say no Janis: not even, just agree with what I was saying Jimmy: 🙄 Jimmy: tell yourself no, I'm not your fucking conscience Janis: conscience has got nothing to do with it Janis: obviously it'd be wrong if we were actually together Janis: but it's fake so it's just a matter of logistics and if you say you don't care then that's what I'm going on Jimmy: I've got nowt to do with it Janis: Jesus, yes you do, this is a deal between me and you Jimmy: that you were acting put upon about all night so yeah it were fine, to get you to stop marding for 5 seconds Janis: so now it's your turn? Janis: that's a mature way to deal with shit Jimmy: I'd have legged it but you beat me to that, Janet Janis: 'cos you were well in a talking mood Jimmy: I took that hint from you ages before, that'll be why Janis: I tried Janis: this is some bullshit Janis: I tried before, and after, and both times it was all good except it clearly fucking ain't Jimmy: how about you try not to put me in the path of lads you wanna fuck? or have or will do Janis: It weren't even Janis: fine Janis: I'm sorry Jimmy: It weren't even what, that you couldn't have called me after you were done? Jimmy: Bollocks Janis: No Janis: I didn't think of it from that perspective, alright, that's fair Janis: this shit is a headfuck Janis: it's not like there are rules, that I've done this loads, enough to navigate it perfectly Jimmy: the only rule is that we don't mess each other about Jimmy: helping each other out is the whole point Janis: Yeah Janis: I seriously didn't think it would, believe that or not Janis: he hasn't bragged about it before but lesson learned Jimmy: I weren't here to mug off before Janis: No Janis: well, like we said, no one's gonna listen to him so as far as damage control goes Jimmy: I heard you the first hundred times you told me that Jimmy: there's no damage control for all the 🕧 waiting around for you in different parts of that massive house Janis: then tell me what I can do Jimmy: if we ain't gonna be in the same room for longer than 10 mins don't bother to invite me Jimmy: there's your answer Janis: alright Janis: I'm not going to do that again, not that you asked but Jimmy: He'd have you back, I never hit him that hard Janis: shut up Jimmy: Alright don't, you can do better Janis: we can all see what he is Jimmy: I weren't giving him 😍 soz to piss on that threesome you had your 🤞 for Janis: 🤢 Janis: stop Jimmy: you can give it all that after you let me be all over you when you were all over that dickhead? Top one Jimmy: if any dickhead's 🤢🤢 it's me Janis: it were complicated Janis: yeah, we should've left Janis: I just Jimmy: weren't trying to have a chat then were you? Jimmy: not a word Janis: so that was selfish Janis: never said I weren't Jimmy: just Janis: I'm sorry Janis: I should've gone when you offered Janis: I wanted the night to be worth it somehow though Jimmy: What does that mean? Janis: Like you said, we'd barely been in the same room so Janis: would've been a wasted night if we left then Jimmy: I'd take a wasted night night over a weird one Janis: Yeah Janis: it made sense at the time Jimmy: 👌 Janis: don't emoji at me Jimmy: Or what? Janis: I dunno but I was close to absolving some guilt Janis: bit rude Jimmy: save it for confession, babe Jimmy: I'm in black but that's where the similarity ends Janis: I've never been Jimmy: first time's the charm, Nah? Or is that the third? Jimmy: I dunno 😴 Janis: Cheers Janis: I really have to ask for eternal forgiveness before you're gonna bother Jimmy: If you were my real girlfriend, ain't getting The Lord involved for owt less Janis: 🙄 Jimmy: 🙄 Janis: sorry your ex was a bitch too Jimmy: leave it out Janis: just saying Jimmy: me an' all Jimmy: it ain't your problem and she ain't been mine for ages either Janis: okay Janis: still Janis: shit Jimmy: shut up Janis: 🤐 Jimmy: Doubt that Janis: Oh now I talk too much Janis: convenient Jimmy: yeah well chatty, you Jimmy: never know when to stop Janis: yeah well Janis: one of us has to keep the conversation going Jimmy: so #goals girl Janis: Obviously Janis: I feel like my fucking sister right about now Jimmy: Has she been with him an' all? Jimmy: taking the #twinning a bit far there, mate Janis: I hope not Janis: I dunno why you'd make me think of that Janis: I just meant general slagginess and regret Jimmy: I reckon you'd know, hardly the type to keep that to himself Jimmy: Why do you regret it? You said you knew he were a massive twat Janis: I don't know Janis: 'cos he's made me look stupid Jimmy: Only in front of me and I knew you were an idiot 😏 Janis: Thanks Janis: very supportive Jimmy: Do you want me to belt him again? Janis: Only if you feel like it Janis: but it ain't really about him Jimmy: not what I asked, 'cause nah, it ain't about him Janis: No Janis: If you never have to think about him again, that's best for me Jimmy: That all I can do you for, Jules? Jimmy: you don't fancy an overpriced latte or owt, I get that Jimmy: 🌹? Janis: Am I that demanding? Jimmy: Do you want a fake answer there or what? Janis: Cheek Janis: and after you dared to offer me a latte as well Jimmy: I never Janis: Hmm Janis: likely story Jimmy: what's tonight's? Jimmy: we in or out? Janis: I reckon we've done enough to earn a night off Jimmy: Alright Janis: don't you Jimmy: I asked you Janis: Yeah, and I asked you back Jimmy: and I said alright Janis: alright Jimmy: 👍 Janis: Try not to kill yourself at work today Jimmy: And be stuck haunting the CG, you're alright Janis: and you ain't allowed without me Janis: more importantly Jimmy: 💕 Jimmy: You're the only one I wanna haunt, baby Janis: Yeah, I better be Jimmy: You are Jimmy: 💔 as Asia is about it Janis: she's lucky I didn't drown her Jimmy: If you really loved me, you would Janis: always coming out with this after the fact, aren't you Jimmy: What's more #goals than murdering a love rival? Jimmy: if you dunno that, Jasmine, I dunno what we're even doing here Janis: Rival is a stretch Janis: if you reckon that then you only gotta ask her Jimmy: Calm it down, bighead Jimmy: The DM asking her to attach ankle weights in the deep end has already been sent Janis: gonna be 😭 over her cankles forever now Jimmy: I were 😭😭😭 first Janis: you mean you didn't just have chlorine in your eyes? Janis: awkward Jimmy: it were already awkward Jimmy: leave my 👀 out of it, tah Janis: but they're so dreamy Jimmy: Send tweet Janis: 😏 Janis: working overtime for you, boy Jimmy: I asked you what you wanted, you never answered, girl Janis: I don't know the menu Jimmy: I have to do everything, I see how it is Janis: You wanted demanding, babe Jimmy: 😍😍🤤🤤 Janis: Idiot Jimmy: Stop flirting with me for 1 second so I can make you a drink! Janis: Bet that's what you say to all the customers Jimmy: Depends Janis: if you like it or nah, sure Jimmy: Nah, what I like is nowt to do with it Janis: Tips? Jimmy: 🥇 Janis: that's kinda fucked, you stop and think about it Jimmy: I don't get long enough breaks to stop and think Janis: Poor baby Janis: I've got all the time in the world to ponder for you Jimmy: just keep rubbing it in, you Janis: 😂 Janis: you know you'd hate it if I weren't a rich girl Jimmy: You ain't paying me nowt last I checked Janis: you'd have nothing to take the piss out of me for if I weren't Janis: worth it's weight in gold, surely Jimmy: 😂 Jimmy: Bollocks would I not Janis: Bollocks would you Janis: I'm 🥇 Jimmy: You're 🥈 Janis: Psh, fuck you Jimmy: And you're only that 'cause my 🥇 makes you look good Janis: Oh please Janis: you must've bumped your head 'cos you sound downright delusional now Jimmy: Beg all you like you ain't having the 🏆 til you pry it out of my 💀💀💀 hands Janis: Me?

100 Days of Writing: the List

Since it seems there is some interest, why not? List of works (nominally) in progress, old unfinished fics, and Stuff I Want To Write below the cut. Feel free to ask about any of these.

Works (nominally) In Progress

Fanfic

"Reason or Rhyme" (Time Princess - Gotham Memoirs). The Vittorio expansion/fix-fic, because I will be forever disgruntled at how little romance content was actually included in the Mafia romance route.

Galactic Date Night Shenanigans aka "The one where everything is Balkar's fault." (SWTOR - Theron Shan/Jedi Knight). Theron "disaster spy" Shan is goaded into trying to take his wife out for a nice date for once, and it goes like every other plan these two have ever had anything to do with.

#3: [I] trusted [you] (SWTOR - Theron Shan / Jedi Knight). A post-Nathema prompt fic I swear I will finish one of these days.

Original

super secret short story/novella project - Okay it's not that super secret, but it is something I'm mostly keeping under my hat for now as I work on it because of reasons, and is actually (inconveniently, for 100 Days of Writing purposes) the main thing I've been working on lately. I expect to be able to say more about it later. Maybe even within the 100 days! We'll see.

southern gothic urban fantasy procedural romance - Faerie Animal Control Warden meets FBI Elf during investigation of a suspicious death out in the kudzu. A little bit of Bright, a bit Mushi-Shi, a drop of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Stuff I Want to Write

Distinct from works in progress in that I have not actually gotten past the planning stage on any of these - if that. A few of these have been rattling around in concept for long enough to have gone through several distinct evolutions without ever getting any writing done on them. Still, hope springs eternal and ideas are never wasted.

Fanfic

the rival bands AU / the rock opera playlist fic (Sailor Moon - Makoto Kino/Nephrite). Currently exists entirely as an incomplete playlist.

space opera Pride and Prejudice retelling - exactly what it sounds like on the tin. Do y'all know I have yet to encounter a futuristic/space AU? Surely there's one out there somewhere, but I have yet to see it. If you know of one, for the love of God don't tell me.

"Ten of Swords" - (Archer EMIYA/Minako Arisato). fate/stay night + Persona 3 Portable crossover what's even wrong with my brain.

Original

the Regency fae story - a Regency-era fantasy in which a lot of the needlessly complicated and restrictive social rules followed by the upper classes are actually an attempt at defending against the Fair Folk. Sort of Pride and Prejudice vs Changeling: the Lost vs Labyrinth. Could turn into a whole Pride and Prejudice retelling, I guess?

drinking games - fantasy imperial court intrigues involving a romance between a court poison taster and a master spy/assassin.

untitled - East/southeast Asian-inspired Beauty and the Beast retelling in which the Beast is a mountain god whose appearance is based on a tiger. I'm probably too white to write this.

untitled - Private investigator hired to investigate local bad-boy-made-good for insurance fraud, turns out it was actually an ill-advised teenage deal with the devil coming due. Might fit in with that other southern gothic urban fantasy idea, I am not sure.

the ciphered letter - This one started off as a combination of a Mage: the Awakening campaign and a really, really weird spam email I got one time. Orphan gets mysterious ciphered letter, meets snarky Welsh mage, awakens to magic and maybe almost gets made a human sacrifice to an eldritch abomination.

Forfeit - Regency/Victorian-esque fantasy involving reincarnation, a race of immortals, and a half-immortal teaming up with a mortal who sacrificed his future reincarnations for pseudo-immortality to uncover and stop the sinister secrets that power a colonizing empire. It makes more sense in my head... probably?

untitled - Slow burn enemies to lovers between the world-conquering emperor and the rebel leader who's opposing him, over the course of a time loop. AKA Lord of Heroes Kartis/Monarch with the serials filed off. Or I guess I could just write Lord of Heroes fanfic?

low fantasy Magnificent Seven Samurai - Farming village scrapes together a group of starving mercs to protect them from marauders, drama ensues. That's it, that's the whole idea.

Unfinished Fics

Distinct from works in progress in that these are all old enough I can no longer claim I intend to finish them. Some of them I may come back to, especially the few that had substantial progress made before they fell by the wayside. Most will probably be left abandoned, either because I have lost interest in continuing to work on them or I have just plain forgotten what I was planning to do with them.

dreameater - A very old, loosely Forgotten Realms-inspired concept involving an aging half-elf, his fully elven partner, and a mysterious magical threat that's devouring people's dreams.

"Fortune Favors the Brave" (Baccano! - Luck Gandor/Eve Genoard). The Luck/Eve shipping fic.

"Intermezzo" (Blood+ City of Nightwalkers). Follow-up fic to an obscure manga prequel/side story for the vampire anime Blood+, involving Hagi and the Hong Kong cop who semi-adopted him that one time.

"The Art of Losing Everything" (Dragon Age: Origins - Alistair Theirin/f!Cousland). An Alistair/f!Warden fic with themes of loss, duty, and sacrifice.

"In Pieces" (Dragon Age II - Fenris/f!Hawke). A terrible horrible no good very bad AU where Hawke actually turned Fenris over to Danarius and then came back to try to fix her mistake, which I can never finish because I can't make that initial decision make internal sense no matter how hard I try.

"Pas de Deux" (Final Fantasy VIII - Squall Leonhart/Rinoa Heartilly). Exploration of how Squall and Rinoa's relationship could develop after the events of the game.

"With Good Intentions" (Final Fantasy VIII - Squall Leonhart/Rinoa Heartilly). An AU in which Rinoa discovers that technically you can change the past, it's just that if Squall has an actual decent childhood the world ends. Way too ambitious for me to ever actually finish, probably, but I can't quite give up on the idea.

"I've Loved These Days" (Gundam SEED - Mu la Flaga/Murrue Ramius). One of several partly-written Gundam SEED fics kicking around in my files.

"The Last Night of the World" (Gundam SEED - Mu la Flaga/Murrue Ramius). Another Gundam SEED fic, one that began as a prompt in ye olde LiveJournal days. "I've Loved These Days" might have been a prototype, though they don't appear to have any text in common. Could in theory still get finished, maybe.

Valentine's ghosts (Gundam SEED Destiny - Andrew Waltfeld/Murrue Ramius). I'm just saying, Andy/Murrue would have been so much more interesting than the whole Neo thing in Destiny.

"Lion Passant" (Kingdom Hearts). Something something Leon as a failed Keyblade Bearer. The Kingdom Hearts franchise has rewritten its own lore at least three times since I originally had the idea, I can't imagine I'll ever continue it now.

"Vigil" (KotOR - Carth Onasi/f!Revan). Carth/Revan retrospective somewhere around the tomb of Naga Sadow on Korriban.

"Semper Fidelis" (KotOR/KotOR II - Carth Onasi/f!Revan). Post-Sith Lords Carth/Revan resolution fic.

"Clarity" (KotOR II). Atton Rand backstory study from the POV of that one nameless Jedi.

"A Simple Game of Cards" (KotOR II - Atton Rand/Jedi Exile). Spoilers: it is never a simple game of cards. Turns out someone already did it with more or less the same twist I had in mind.

the besieged base fic (Mass Effect - f!Shepard/Kaidan Alenko). A fic rendition of the "Besieged Base" mission from the first Mass Effect.

"Get Up, Jonah" (Mass Effect). I woke up thinking about Turkish drummers. Didn't take long; I don't know much about Turkish drummers. Virmire, before the other shoe drops.

"Long Night" (Mass Effect). Ashley on Virmire.

"My Heart Dances" (Mass Effect - f!Shepard/Kaidan Alenko). Liara POV of Shepard/Kaidan.

"No Way Out" (Mass Effect - f!Shepard/Kaidan Alenko). Heading up the Citadel during the ME1 endgame.

"Right Here, Right Now" (Mass Effect - f!Shepard/Kaidan Alenko). An ME1 epilogue / pre-ME2 sort of fic.

"While the Night is Still Young" (Mass Effect - f!Shepard/Kaidan Alenko). Shepard/Kaidan en route to Ilos.

Apparently I had approximately a million little Mass Effect shortfic ideas I never finished and in some cases never started. Apparently they're all for the first game. (I think there was a Thane idea or two for ME2 that I just never started on at all. RIP.)

"To Absent Friends" (Tiger and Bunny). Sad, sad futurefic of an elderly Pao-Lin reflecting on the deaths of all the other heroes over the years.
