#it's just the peak chaotic energy both of them have

[chuuyrr]

ALL I THINK ABOUT IS KARMA — DAZAI OSAMU

=͟͟͞♡ CW(s): gn! reader, spoilers for bungo stray dogs, reader is an ability user that is capable of inducing karma. short fic.

=͟͟͞♡ SYNOPSIS: in which crime and punishment is not a match for karma.

=͟͟͞♡ NOW PLAYING: look what you made me do by taylor swift and gods by new jeans

BYR ! this was written as a second part of this fic right here with the season 5 finale plot but it can be read alone.

in the helicopter, the vampirism virus coursing through your veins reached its peak. dazai's intricate plan had unfolded, but little did he know about the latent power within you.

as fyodor smirks, reveling in his perceived victory, a surge of karma emanated from your core.

crimson energy clashed with the vampiric curse, creating a chaotic dance of dark and light within you. fyodor's control wavered as your newfound ability fought against the insidious virus, and you seized the opportunity to break free.

with newfound strength, you wrestled control from fyodor's grasp, and his eyes widened in disbelief as the tides turned upon him. in a swift motion, you drew a silver dagger hidden beneath your coat, its blade reflecting the eerie glow of the vampire-infested surroundings.

as the helicopter's propeller rattled in the night sky, you lunged at fyodor, your swift yet harsh movements fueled by a mix of vengeance and the unyielding force of karma. the blade found its mark, sinking into fyodor's side, impaling him into his seat.

his sly grin turned to a grimace of pain.

a clash between the demon and the enduring will of a human refusing to succumb. fyodor's deep purple eyes saw how your ability to manipulate karma tipped the scales in your favor. the crimson energy emanating from you intensified, enveloping both of us in a swirling maelstrom.

blood seeped from his lips as he coughed in pain after being stabbed by his own and supposedly mind-controlled driver, and his blood turned cold as he looks up to see the red in your eyes flicker back into a [color] with your fangs shrinking back to its normal size.

fyodor wasn't one for surprises since he usually has everything deduced and planned accordingly, but this once, you have made that possible for him.

how could he let you slip out of his control just like the gravity manipulator too? fyodor was certain you had been infected with the virus and was not faking, especially with the way your eyes flickered back then.

"right on time, [name]!" a smile tugs on dazai's lips as he claps his hands, though the gravity manipulator was quite tense, even if everything was just exact and accordingly to the plan.

each piece across the hoard moved with calculated precision, whispering secrets of a plot that only you and dazai could decipher, leaving fyodor oblivious to the unfolding intrigue.

"how?" fyodor coughs, holding a bitter smile that was heavy with betrayal and suspicion.

the ivory and ebony chess pieces mirrored the clash between light and darkness in the intricate game. dazai, with his characteristic smirk, slid his bishop forward, symbolizing a clandestine maneuver on your part with responding with a cunning knight's leap.

"easy, i purposely got myself bitten and infected to get close to you," you met his gaze with a determined glint across your eyes, "you think chuuya was the only one?"

pieces danced across the board, and the climax of our plan unfolded in a daring sacrifice—a queen's gambit that left fyodor's defenses vulnerable.

dazai, standing nearby, couldn't resist a smirk, "to put it simply," he interjected, stepping forward with a sly confidence, "​[name]'s ability is capable of inducing karma. even if they got infected, the ability within them will continue to act on."

fyodor's gaze shifted to dazai, suspicion etched across his face, "what do you mean?" he demands.

dazai's smile widened as he relished the unfolding revelation, "you might have gotten control of [name], but you can't control karma," he explains with a hint of amusement.

"it's an ability that is still dependent on the course of action of [name]'s target."

as the truth sank in, fyodor's composure faltered. the realization that his meticulous plans had a flaw, a flaw rooted in the unpredictable nature of karma, left him momentarily speechless.

"once you play god, they're gonna crumble one by one," you remark, your voice echoing with a conviction that resonated through the chaos surrounding all of you, and the words hung in the air like an irreversible verdict, sealing fyodor's fate.

"but consider this, fyodor," you continue, the whirring of the helicopter blades adding a rhythmic cadence to my words as you begin to take the helicopter to the heavens.

"in your pursuit of power, you played the role of a god, all according to your whims," you say, your voice carrying a solemn weight with karma speaking for itself through you, "but just as hubris led to the fall in tales of old, karma now unravels the threads of your false godhood."

the helicopter's descent mirrored the descent into the inevitable consequences of fyodor's actions, "attempting to control others as if they were mere pawns in your game? tch, some god you are."

you shake your head however with a chuckle, carrying the smile of the true devil, "even if crime and punishment are close friends as you say, karma, divine retribution, or the scales of justice, all point to the same truth in the end: actions have consequences, and those who attempt to manipulate the threads of destiny will find themselves entangled in a web of their own making. this is your kingdom come."

with a final, knowing gaze, you leap from the plummeting helicopter, embracing the uncertainty below. the crash, a symphony of destruction, unfolded.

"chuuya!" dazai yells as soon as he sees your figure across the smoke in the skies.

"working me like a damn dog, bastard. i got them!" chuuya hisses at the other first before he emerges from the ground, catching you with a grace that defied the chaos and gravity.

you were then brought to dazai's embrace, and you stood with him, amidst the flames of the crashed helicopter illuminating the night, a symbolic end to fyodor's ill-fated attempts to play god—an end brought about by the intertwining forces of the karma within you.

dazai, with sincerity in his eyes, pulls you into a tender embrace, his lips meeting your forehead in a gentle kiss, and as he rests his forehead against mine, he whispers, "you did it, love."

with a soft exhale, you whisper back, relieved and grateful, "we did it. all of us. it's finally over."

in that intimate moment, the weight of the world lifted from your shoulders. the chaos, the vampirism virus, fyodor's manipulation—all of it seemed to fade into the background. dazai's acknowledgment held a profound significance, a recognition of the strength within you, warming your cheeks as a smile tugs on your lips.

"tch, get a goddamn room you idiots!" chuuya interjects, making his presence known to you and dazai again after you two seemingly forget.

karma is a cat allows its user to induce karma, which can be a blessing or a curse that may or may not include the bending of reality, but it is highly dependent on the target's course of action and the sincerity of the heart around the user.

Sure thats fine take as long as you need 🫶 but heres my request anyways 💕:

“Enhypen to their s/o having an innocent puppy like personality“

s/o with a puppy-like personality ♡

a/n. i think i accidentally deleted the previous one bc there were two LMAO but! sorry for the long wait, i hope u enjoy it ^^ i know i got a lil lazy with it but i didn’t really have an idea how to execute it :(

also hehe my friend just got a puppy so i got a first hand writing research material ☝️

heeseung, sunoo, jay

grumpy / sunshine duo. or the black cat-golden retriever dynamics. in public he’s watching you, people get chills from his stares while you’re rambling about how cute the little duck from marzipan on top of a cupcake looks. your personal guard too. you can literally drag him around and he won’t complain. in private tho, he’s all cuddly <3 like those videos of puppies and cats getting along, it’s like that. he could never get tired of you. sometimes he has his outbursts of energy and it’s chaotic!!

jake, jungwon, riki

chaos. you two are like two hyper active puppies. hyping each other up and jumping up n down, ignoring people’s stares. it’s never boring (or quiet) when you two are around. sometimes one look is all it takes to get you two giggly for no reason. your dates r never boring!! when you get tired, you crash on the couch and snore, the rest of bandmates enjoying the unusual silence. oh, not to mention how mischievous you two can get ^_^

sunghoon

he’s both LMAO when he’s in his introverted mood, he’ll me the black cat™️. esp when zoning out. people think he’s staring at them but in reality he’s either zoning out or admiring you doing something. at home / during his loud introvert / or when he has his peak energy moment, it’s hard to tell who’s the real puppy. there’s giggles without end, laughs and chuckles all the time (his fangs poking out in wide smiles). running around and doing mischievous stuff like two silly pups >_<

[needfantasticstories]

Hi again, @twistedstoryteller!

Okay, LU recs off the top-ish of my head in a sort of organized-ish order:

AUTHORS!

Angst, Action, and Mixed:

Faerule and the No Good Very Bad Road Trip by ImperialKatwala, PolynomialPandemic is a great "Chain Meets Hyrule" fic.

@gintrinsic-writing is phenomenal. A gem. I love all of it, but check the tags to find ones you're comfortable with. AO3 Blood Like Yours is my personal favorite, and the sequel Like Fire in Your Veins by @pocketramblr are both about Hyrule's Blood Curse from Adventures of Link. M for Violence for most of them, but check tags to be sure. If you like it, consider also...

Protector of the Golden Power by Sillus Hyrule centric but he has a different secret.

@somer-writes has a lot of great short one shots, some darker than others. My personal favorite is a sort of character study of the boys at their lowest and how they recover called "Depletion"

For a Sliver of Sunlight by tirsynni: Warrior's dedication to his brothers makes him question his title as Hero.

What are You to a God Slayer by Secretlysheikah BAMF Sky

Brethren in a Cradle by Skyward_Arpeggio BABY!!!! It is adorable, if a bit sad at the start.

Always Darkest Before the Dawn (Linked Universe Whumptober 2023) by Skyward_Arpeggio because in general they don't go above T ratings and write excellent fics.

this year it taught me (lost and ambitious) by qar Also EXCELLENT writer. "Sky has a separate moment with each member of the team"

Whumptober 2023 by Arecaceae Great fics! Plus, "Each story will have warnings in the tags and the story notes as well as a 0-5 whump rating. The ratings will be relative to my writing, so my 5 might not be equivalent to someone else's 5. I don't write MCD, extreme gore, non-con, or extreme emotional angst."

Major's Whumptober 2023 by major_de_speed Major's are also quite clean despite the M rating which is more about the violence.

Linkeduniverse Shorts by Skyward_Arpeggio LU Short fics

A Royal Castletown Wedding by Skyward_Arpeggio This story is so good!!!!!!!!!

Whumptober 2022 by Arecaceae more great fics, rated T.

LU Whump Dump by UnexpectedStormy (ArtemiStorm)  need AO3 account to read, but worth it! Linked Universe Whumpy One-Shots, rated T.

There's one I'm missing, and when I find it I'll add it here. It involves a cursed magical artifact that Legend messes with... it's intense.

Fluffier Fics:

Frosty Reception by Skyward_Arpeggio "Four’s glad to finally be home again, and he’s not the only one happy at his return." Cute fic!

S’more Stories by Ginger375 "A collection of drabbles and mini-fics for LUtober! Day 31: Costumes"

Sentiment by Arecaceae

nine heroes, one spirit by Imjustherefortheangst, uncleskyrule (unclemoriarty) tons of great short fics, all with G-T ratings

Finding Family by Tashacee "AU where Wild's scars are a lot worse and he isn't used to interacting with people. The Chain think their new brother is dope af and are determined to make him feel at home."

My Heart's Forsaken Me by sister_dear "Four looses his sword in the heat of battle, and it's picked up by someone else... Time’s aren’t the only secrets coming to light, and the gang discovers they still have a thing or two to learn from each other."

Ambush at the Bridge by JinxedRuby Very action and healing oriented fic, multiple perspectives on one event.

Dark Clouds on the Horizon by CubanCracker62 "he Chain ends up in Wild's era shortly before the events of TotK."

There are worse ways to stay alive by EliotRosewater one shots rated T.

Crack Fics:

Misplaced Heroes by notOK this had me busting out laughing SO MANY TIMES!

Peak Gremlin Energy by defenestration_nation "Fics focusing on various Links being chaotic gremlins"

Not Necessarily LU, but Adjacent or just LoZ:

Blood of the Hero by Skye_the_Lofty_Nutcase: (Wild) Link's parents have to step in to save him when the Shrine of Resurrection gets damaged. His parents are so well written, and Abel makes appearances in LU-related/adjacent fics, The Many Misadventures of Dad Squad and Dad Squad AU by Nancyheart, Silver_Captain82403, Skye_the_Lofty_Nutcase

which is part crack and part angst, mostly lighthearted.

Don't Worry Man, I'm from the Yiga Clan: Link makes a Yiga friend due to being a delightful chaos gremlin.

Feature MCD... but might be worth it:

And Still the Cradle Blooms by Solistrix: GORGEOUS literary masterpiece. The writing is unreal. It's descriptions and emotions are incredible. This is more like finding the meaning in eventual death, so of the three here I suspect you'll like this one best as far as not being too hurt by the character's mentioned end.

This is an Adjuration: I'll be real, this is full of action and excitement but yes, it has MCD and is making me cry, but it's also REEEEAAALLY good!

Blood Drops on Roses by HotCheetohatred Fantastic storytelling! Wild centric, Twi is big brother but from day one of Wild's journey. Unreliable young Wild as narrator is an absolute delight. Unfinished, no MCD yet, but it's in the tags so no promises.

Modern AUs for not-big-on-modern-au fans:

As a fellow not-seeker of modern AUs, I personally have enjoyed the following

@skyward-floored Incredibles AU

Wild’s Wolf by HotCheetoHatred "Modern AU where young Wild is a feral forest child, raised by Wolf Twilight. He is captured, separated from Twilight, and put under observation. Time helps him escape." Unfinished, and I admit personal bias here because HotCheetoHatred is my BETA reader.

ARTISTS!!!

@ovegakart: amazing action, gut-busting humor, and captivating storytelling! Does comics

@la-sera: beautiful, ethereal, and gorgeous illustrations and a great storyteller, loves downfall duo but does every one of the boys justice

@dfanart: HILARIOUS and such heartfelt emotions on them boys.

@kikker-oma great art from fluff to whump to action

@1caru has so many fluffy LU gems!

@linderosse has a Zelda's meet AU, does LU, and much more!

@lele5429 great illustrations and abstract pieces of LU fanart.

@theecholegend hahaha... arson.

@ikaishere has so many cute LU ones.

@thepinklink fabulous LU character sketches

@hiimgin BIAS! I got to work with them and they are FABULOUS!

@pluviatrix has art for their fic And Still the Cradle Blooms

@cherrypaii has fantastic illustrations of these boys!

AND MANY, MANY MORE!

(Commenters, please add artists I forgot. I know there are a ton Im missing!!)

Hope this helps you feel welcome!

Earth Music on the Lost Light: Human Music That Cybertronians Like

we know for a fact that the Lost Light has access to human media, primarily movies, TV shows, and music-- and we know they generally seem to fucking love most of it, or at least find it interesting

but what would everyone's tastes be, in regards to Earth music?

time to talk about music for a long time!!! strap in, enjoy some tunes

we already know Cyclonus has impeccable taste and enjoys some of the best jams the 80s had to offer.

I can't help but imagine Rodimus being given a media archive of Earth tunes to approve for the Earth Dance would only result in chaos

(it's not like he would say no to anything, he absolutely blanket signed it all, it's just an obligatory thing-- or Ultra Magnus tells him it is, solely to keep him away from Important Captain Things that he would rather handle himself or hand off to Megatron, lmao. the shit that really needs to get done)

and this is how Rodimus discovers the somewhat questionable yet amazing genre of "mid-90s underground techno rave mix tapes"

(somewhat related, I still think Testarossa might as well be Rodimus' theme song, although it's not a 90s track and has more of an 80s synth vibe)

Rodimus would love that "computers are the future, fuck yeah let's make Digital Cool Future Music" mid-90s shit, there is no way he would not. it has the exact energy level that appeals to him and is also cheesy and weird and chaotic. and has like 500 different sub-genres, so his selection is endless, lmao.

he would probably find it cute that this is what humans imagined to be the peak of "digital sound" at the time. like lmao this was the best humans could do when asked to create music that sounds like it was made by robots or other mechanical space future cyber lifeforms--high concept!!! he would probably find it interesting and endearing. this is what organics think non-organic music is like!!

anyone acting as DJ at Swerve's on any given night would be so, so mad that Rodimus keeps requesting shit like "DJ MASSIMO ITALO DISCO BEST RAVE TUNES LIVE FROM LONDON 1995" or "DJ ARMPIT SLUDGE FEST HOUSE-RAVE-DRUMS N BASS SET 1996" for them to play, lmao

not individual tracks. the whole album. entire mix tapes of random, somewhat questionable mid-90s techno house rave bullshit.

that having been said, that good ass early 90s trance techno might send him into a spiral depending on his mood at the time, lmao (it's been known to happen)

but at the same time I can imagine him sharing tracks like Solar Quest - Space Pirates with Drift and they'd both just sit there and jam out, but quietly, thinking about shit while sitting in a port window next to each other (this was peak sleepover party techno, Back in My Day-- many deep conversations were had while listening to stuff like this, lol)

Drift would probably find some of Rodmus' recommended stuff to be pretty good for meditation-- although once he finds out about the human drug culture involved and certain concepts of experimental consciousness etc. that surrounded techno/rave and other related genres, it might cause him to pull back a little bit

(until he finds out about kandi culture, in which case, Drift would love the idea of hand-made unique bracelets and sentimental trinkets being made and exchanged at warehouse shows purely out of Good Vibes and Love for Fellow Beings and it turns out actually he fucking loves this shit, a chill vibes based "expand your mind" kind of music subculture appeals to his Spectralist sensibilities and he likes sharing tunes with Rodimus in return)

Drift picking tracks on his own would likely lead him down more of a classic rock road, but more of the chill side of things, more of the folksy type of classic rock -- I can see Drift really enjoying Spirit in the Sky - Norman Greenbaum or California Dreamin' - The Mamas and the Papas. or like, Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock.

I mean, Drift might even go Full Earth Hippie and end up liking Green Tambourine - Lemon Pipers, lmao. in fact I am fairly certain of this.

I can see Drift loving Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In - The 5th Dimension. the whole vibe would probably appeal to him.

he'd quite possibly also like I Need a Dollar - Aloe Blacc, but it hits him in a place that still hurts to think about. so it's in rare rotation.

meanwhile Ratchet would probably be fine with classic rock too, like the good Dad Rock shit, just a lot of tracks from the 70s/80s -- a couple tracks he and Drift could probably agree on would likely lean more into the experimental/psychedelic rock side of things, like White Room - Cream or something like Wheel in the Sky - Journey

Rodimus tries to troll Ratchet by recommending Old Time Rock n Roll - Bob Seger, but joke's on him because it turns out Ratchet loves it, lmao

Swerve would go all out on classic bar jams for the evening playlist. Chill, good shit like Do It Again - Steely Dan.

Megatron would love Sinnerman - Nina Simone; He'd send it to Drift in a command crew level secured data packet, and they would both feel the hell out of this song. They don't need to talk about why. They never mention it to each other.

Megs would also probably love These Old Bones by Dolly Parton (mostly due to the lyrics, rather than the upbeat tune, but he would find it relatively relaxing), as well as 9 to 5 (of course), and similar music. Country from back in the day when country music was more about the struggle of poverty and the working life of rural people. Country music from back when songs told all the untold stories. He can respect that.

He'd listen to You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive by Patty Loveless and it would get him right in the fucking spark. Megatron is the Cybertronian equivalent of an Appalachian miner, god dammit. He understands.

Megatron would also like Johnny Cash; He would overthink Ghost Riders in the Sky and it would depress him, partly because it reminds him of Seekers... sigh.

I think he'd also like Cold War - Janelle Monae. He'd be way into good lyrics; What's being said in a song matters most to him. "This is a cold war, you better know what you're fighting for..." Indeed.

anyway I like thinking about what jams Cybertronians might like from their available selection of Earth tunes

Making chocolate for Lyney!

N:I had an idea to wrote catching yugioh protags at a part time job. Might finally fix that yugioh hole in my ml

Event link here

Running around Fontaine without him attached to your hip was hard enough, but trying to hide something too? He's gonna make a GREAT plot for drama. The markets lights bright enough to keep you awake dim enough to not burn them entirely. Buying the ingredients were quite easy, if you would have gone in the morning he would have known the very instant he saw what you bought, maybe even just knowing where your going, he'd make it aggressively obvious he knew too. This was a surpise he's not going to rub your cheek and smirk while stating how much he adores you. Flirting and neck/cheek kisses will not make chocolate!!

He'd 100% get giddy noticing you make chocolate, that's probably when he'd get the most chaotic, in the kitchen of all places. "It smells of chocolate you don't happen to be making any?" "Whaaatt totally not what?" You try to block it from his view even when he moves perspective. "It's obvious it's there" smirking he jokingly reaches for it. "Nooo, it's not" "hehe" without a sweat, he kisses your cheek. "Thank you." "for what?" Your mind officially going blank "for making me chocolate" he kisses you again "you and I both know it's not for you" "and if it is?" "Then you wouldn't be making so much of an effort to hide it" Your heart skipped a beat from how well he knew you. "You'll get them when they're done..." smirking he kisses your neck "I know they'll be amazing" you know he'd never let you finish those choclates without a pickup line or god forbid getting the urge to cuddle right in the middle of making them.

The daytime nightmare of your boyfriend knocked you out almost as soon as you saw your bed after putting away groceries. He WILL be the first thing you see outside your door. "Y/n!" He tries to peak through your peep hole. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a reverse peep hole, unable to see anything he waits by the door, as soon as you open it his eyes light up as if filled with energy. "Just intime ma chérie, I was wondering if you'd like to run some errands with me" "oh" rubbing the back of your neck trembling before your next words "I'm a bit busy today" "that's unfortunate, maybe next time then" "I'll make sure of it" you kiss his cheek before waving your goodbyes and closing the door. You knew it would have bothered him for the rest of the day if that kiss wasn't there to soften the blow

Trying to read the instructions the clerk had given you, you got to work, melting,mixing, and pouring into chocolate molds, using your cryo vision to freeze the chocolate after being molded. After that, you prepare the box, using the jumbled decor, you decorate the inside of the box, then the outside. When the chocolate finally solidifies you take it out the ice and wrap them in individually

When the day came, you had to hype yourself up, a bit nervous he might outwardly dislike it, you gulp, going into one of his shows. As soon as you appear in the crowd you, he smiles widely, his glare softens seeing your bashful face amongst the crowd. As soon as the show starts, he does his usual tricks, ones you've seen and almost have gotten to know how he does them, yet are still amazed by eatch sight. Near the end of the show the crowd seemed to almost take a bit of the street despite them not being that close to it. Gracefully he pulls out cards "we've had fun dear audience but I'm afraid I must go" the crowd simultaneously awies in disappointment "not to worry I'm sure we'll meet again" cards suddenly fly in the air disappearing the magician and his assistant, a card landing near you with his face printed on it. "Hold that box tight" holding it tightly suddenly, you feet a tug at your waist, the runaway magican dragging you away with him. "I'm sorry I couldn't go with you yesterday" "No worries" gripping the choclates tighter you interlock the hand on your waist with your own letting yourself run with him. "Sometimes I wish I can go into those cards" "only magicians can ma chérie" "Lynettes tea cup can do magic?" he laughs loudly "that's not what I ment"

As soon as you guys stop, you hand him the box. "They may be a little crushed but" swallowing down you look at him with frail confidence "this is for you" huffing a bit he opens the box, fidgeting with your fingers, you watch him twirl a piece in his hand "what's this?" "Choclate" your mind races with what ifs what if he says he hates chocolate, what if him and Lynette judge you for the rest of time? You watch him take off the wrapper, slowly popping it into his mouth. You try not to look at him as he does, afraid it might be so bad he physically repluses. Without hearing a thing, you feel chocolate trace your lips. "They taste amazing ma chérie, thank you" without giving it much thought he kisses your newly chocolate flavored lips "I'll have to try my hand at this one day" he kisses you again "we should cook together too" lazily wrapping his arms around your neck you point to Lynette calmly ignoring the whole thing. "We should make these together next time, you might be able to catch me grocery shopping" you tease pulling his hat to cover his eyes.

Pankcakes and cuddles

A short Red Son x GN!Reader fic :3 (also note that I'm not used to writing fanfiction so this one might suck)

════════▣◎▣════════

It was a new break of dawn when you decided to lock him in your arms possessively as you snuggled into his chest, he was supposed to make breakfast for both of you but it ended up in a never ending cuddling session in the comforts of your own bed.

"Let go of me you insolent gremlin... I have to cook breakfast so you won't starve to death..." Red Son muttered irritably as he tried to push you away, but you just won't budge.

"Nooooo I want my daily dose of cuddles though," You whined as you push yourself unto Red Son futher, looking up to his gaze with puppy dog eyes hoping that he would fall for it.

"We've been cuddling for half and hour now." He deadpanned, completely ignoring your effort to make him stay with you in bed.

"...Doesn't matter I want you." You said, stubborn against the idea of Red Son leaving for something that is totally not important.

"W-why you little- ugh!" He groaned, you could tell that you left him flustered because of your words by him just stumbling upon his words.

"I'll just be in the kitchen if you need me..." Red son muttered off before gently pushing you off of him completely this time. Though it was surprisingly easy, this made you wonder why he didn't just push you away earlier.

He climb off the bed and went out of your room, now it's just you alone.

"Noooo It's too cold, come back my personal heaterrr" You whined some more as you flail the covers of your bed, you were never a morning person to begin with. You caught yourself staring at the ceiling of your room afterwards, still not planning on abandoning your comfortable bed.

Though that beg to differ when you smelled freshly made pancakes from your kitchen, fuck. You groggily stood up from your bed as you set off to consume those remarkable scrumptious pancakes.

You peaked from the side of the door that leads to the kitchen, the first thing you notice that Red Son was in an apron, the pink one that you bought for the giggles that is.

"So the little gremlin decided to leave their territory." Red Son said with a small smirk, despite facing back from you and being preoccupied with the pancakes he still could feel the chaotic energy radiating from you.

You chuckled at that his remark before walking towards the stack of pancakes that Red Son had taken away from the hot frying pan, your eyes dazzling as you were practically drooling because how perfect the pancakes looked.

"Don't think about touching those, I'm still not done with this batch." Red Son bluntly said which made you pout.

"Awee, maybe just a little nibble?" You practically begged as you eyed him and the pancakes that as placed in front of you at the same time.

"No."

"Someone has to eventually do the taste check so-"

"Don't you dare think about it."

"Oh but I am."

"Don't-"

Before Red Son could ever stop you, you took a small piece from one of the pancakes with a fork and quickly consumed it. His expression dropped completely as he watches you happily chew his pancakes.

"These are really good!" You complimented with a big goofy smile on your face.

"For the love of- Augh fine go gobble them up for all I care." He said with a huff went back to flip the pancakes that was still on the pan, though he couldn't help but feel the warm tingling sensation in his heart when you complimented about his cooking.

You look at him for a moment before an idea popped into your mind, you took another piece of one of the pancakes you had just now and placed it in your mouth, you tapped on Red son's shoulders to grab his attention.

"What is it now? If you're looking for the maple syrup it's in the fridge- Hmmp-!" He froze in place as you suddenly went in for a kiss, he could taste the sweetness of the pancakes from your lips. His face was set ablaze and his fiery tied up hair flickered though he did nothing to push you away.

The kiss was short as you pulled away, smiling at him innocently as if you didn't do anything to possibly cause him a heart attack.

"The pancakes were sweet no? though would've gone great with maple syrup..."

"I-I- Wha- W-Whydidyou-"

"Oh, Firecrack your pancakes are burning."

"H-HUH?!"

Reincarnation AU (Hantengu)

History

Hantengu was born as himself. He was a bit cowardly, but after meeting the love of his life, he swore to be better. At this point he still doesn't have any of his memories yet. He has two sons.

But then karma strikes. His wife fell ill and passed away, leaving him with his two children. One of his sons went out the city to start a new life, while the other stayed behind their hometown.

The son that went to the city gets married, and they were blessed with a quadruplets; Sekido, Kraku, Aizetsu and Urogi.

When the brothers turn eleven, the father of the four passed away with the same illness that killed his mother, leaving them with their mother. Their lives began to fell to a downward spiral, as it turns out that their mother was the incarnation of Urami.

The siblings were scared since their mother is now as cruel as a demon. After a year of torment and abuse, Sekido wakes his brothers up at night so that they can catch the late night train and find their uncle or grandfather.

Meanwhile, Hantengu took care of his grandson, Zohakuten, after his parents passed away in a storm. Imagine his surprise when he saw the brothers knocking on the door at night, all wet from rain.

After the quartet and Zohakuten fell asleep, Hantengu remembered his past life. As much as he wanted pity, he knows that he doesn't deserve it. So he took his late wife's advice and move on with his life, taking care of his grandsons all by himself.

When the quartet turns 16, the family moves to Kimetsu City so that the grandsons can continue their studies.

General headcanons

Hantengu is one of the first to be reincarnated, along with Jigoro and the other elderly characters.

Sekido is the eldest, followed by Karaku, Aizetsu and Urogi.

The quartet are 16, while Zohakuten is the same age as Senjuro.

None of the clones, including Urami, remembers their past lives. Only Hantengu remembers as it is his punishment for his previous life.

Hantengu worked at an antique shop. He knows a lot about weapons, especially the ones his clones wielded during his time as a demon.

The grandsons' names are written in katakana (Japanese syllabic writing used for words of foreign origin). So for example, Aizetsu's name isn't written as 哀絶, but アイゼツ.

Because naming your children after emotions is strange. At least you can put actual meanings this way.

Quartet + Zohakuten headcanons

Sekido takes the worst of their mother's wrath. He has many scars underneath his clothes. This also causes him to be very ill-tempered as he doesn't know who will hurt him and who will not. After all, if their mother hits her own sons, what will other people do to them? The only way to gain his trust is to gain Aizetsu's first.

Karaku can be described as lazy, because he just do what he wants to do. He likes crafting things like fans and such. Normally sleeps in class, but did his homework on time. Surprisingly, he pays a lot of attention to details that normal people doesn't pay attention to. So he knows a lot about other people.

Aizetsu always have a sad look on his face, but it's just his resting face. He actually smiles as much as Urogi and Karaku. Interested in guns after first day at Kimetsu Academy. Got mistaken as a girl by Zenitsu due to the nickname his brothers call him, "Ai".

Urogi is the most chaotic of the four. He likes to climb trees or any other tall things. The most hyper, he has plenty of energy to burn and was sought out by many clubs. He always take naps in trees. Can talk to birds somehow, an eagle he saved when he was young flew all the way from his hometown to the city to thank him.

Zohakuten always have a constant frown on his face, but he can be a nice person when he's not being rude, which is often. He can play the drums. Gets along with Muichiro. They exchange creative insults like trading cards.

Both Giyuu and Aizetsu thinks that tracksuits are the peak of modern fashion, much to Sekido and Uzui's chagrin.

~For Quack's Sake!~ {Lucifer & Reader Preview}

If you want the full fanfic then check out my Ko-Fi or Patreon for more content like this ^^ Enjoy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

‘Please leave a message for-’ Lucifer hung up and let out a small sigh as he sat back in his chair, he was disappointed although he wasn’t sure what he expected. He had tried to call Lilith - something he felt the impulse to do every now and then, but like usual the outcome was always the same. Straight to voicemail.

You had started to hang out with Lucifer after his appearance at the hotel and the two of you had bonded quite well, well enough for him to request you be present for his occasional phone calls. You weren’t sure just why he had asked you to start coming but you had guessed it was for moral support.

Seeing Lucifer place his phone onto his desk and place his head in his hands saddened you, you could tell he missed Lilith a lot. You scoot your own chair over to his side before placing a gentle hand onto his back, you felt bad for not really knowing what to do.

“Sorry.. I know I should be used to this by now..”

“Hey, don’t say that. You have a right to be upset.” You frowned a bit at his words, you hated when Lucifer was upset but hated it even more when he diminished his own feelings. He shouldn’t have to pretend like he’s okay.

You pull Lucifer into a gentle hug which he graciously returns, burying his face into the crook of your neck. You could tell he needed this moment, to just be held for a little while.

“Thanks duckling..” You could still hear the sadness in his voice and it made you frown a bit. You wanted to think of a way to cheer him up but what could you do?

You two could paint duck together, or make some pancakes; but both of those options required energy and focus you were sure Lucifer didn’t have right now. Then you remembered a conversation you had with Charlie, she told you all about how she and Lucifer would play a game called “Feathers Up”.

In this game one person was ‘the duck’ and the other person was ‘the hunter’, when the hunter said “Feathers up!” The duck would have to spread their arms and wings up above their heads and keep them there while the hunter ‘inspected them’. If the duck failed to keep their arms or wings up the hunter would say “Duck season” before ‘capturing’ the duck.

When she first told you about the game you thought it was both cute and pretty funny, you decided to try it in hopes of cheering up the duck loving king.

“Hey Lucifer, do you wanna play a game with me?” Seeing Lucifer lift his head from your shoulder you smiled a bit seeing that you had peaked his interest.

“What kind of game..?”

“I think you know it well, it's called Feathers Up.” As soon as the words leave your mouth you can see the blush rise to Lucifer’s cheeks, he clearly hadn’t expected you to say that.

“Y-You.. How do you-?” “Charlie filled me in earlier, it sounds like a pretty fun game don’t ya think?”

You could see the gears turning in Lucifer’s head as he averted his gaze away from yours, then he said the answer you were hoping for.

“S-Sure.” “Great, you’ll be the duck alright Luci?” You could see his blush deepen in color as he nodded, clearly trying to prepare himself for what was to come.

You shift your chair so that you're directly facing Lucifer, looking at him with a gentle smile as he looks back at you with a nervous one. He was already squirming in anticipation. 

“Ready?” “M-Mhm.”

“Feathers up!”

The Catnap & Dogday audio will be uploaded likely tmw as I am planning on posting two audios, stay tuned and have a chaotic day ^^

[crystal-moon-101]

Yet another next-gen headshot batch! This batch was mainly designed to fill out some placements still left in the next-gen, so while there will probably be other characters who I'll make eventually, there probably won't be many other kids after this, hopefully. But enjoy these newcomers!

-Young One & Little One- The 8-year-old twins of Rook and Rayona, along with being Rilla's younger brothers. They are a chaotic pair that Rilla describes as "little rats" or "oxygen wasters", representing peak child life. Always on the move, full of energy, and highly curious about everything. They spend much of their time at their family home and farm, helping to care for the crops and animals or just causing some mayhem. They're pretty harmless kids, though, and while Rilla gets annoyed by them easily, she loves them, and they look up to their big sister. While they're often together, showcasing that twin energy, they have different hobbies. Young One enjoys music, jumping between one instrument to the next as he tries to figure out which will be the perfect match for him. Meanwhile, Little One is all for animals, feeling like he has a connection to them, and will always beg to help out with a farm animal whenever his parents have to deal with one.

-Cayenne Fife- The 17-year-old child (Genderfluid) of Clyde and a revonnahgander woman named Cassia. Cayenne's parents met during Clyde's training with the plumbers, visiting Revonnah with Rook once. And they pair hit it off. Unlike their father, Cayenne has no interest in the Plumber lifestyle, or an exicting lifestyle at that. They prefer spending their time helping their mother out at their farm and would rather people leave them alone than drag them into any of their chaotic lifestyles. This also includes their father, who means well but does have a habit of flaunting his space life and trying to engage with his kid regarding it. Because of all this, Cayenne can be a bit distant with the rest of the Tennyson family and will never hesitate to tell them to leave if they won't behave.

-Princess Ambrosia- The 14-year-old daughter of Queen Hyacinth is part of one of the many royal families on the planet Letany. Despite having a couple of other sisters, Ambrosia was picked by her mother to be next in line for the throne, claiming she is the best pick. However, Ambrosia is somewhat unsure of that, not thinking she has what it takes to be a queen one day, thinking she would be a better fit in the princess council with her sisters. She met Jay and the others when another hive kidnapped her, the omni squad recusing after offering their help, and she and Jay get along nicely. Eventually, she even dates him and Ametrine for a while, a poly pairing, as she starts to figure herself out. She is always on the move, working hard, and has a pleasant and chipper personality, though she is also rather posh in her manners and lifestyle.

-Ametrine- The 14-year-old spawn (Genderfluid) of Sugilite, Ametrine, was created when their father decided that Petropia should have another crystalsapien guardian as a backup in case he were to die again and the Omnitrix couldn't provide help. Using his powers, he created Ametrine and has been a patient, attentive father since. However, Ametrine questions if this is what they want, feeling like they need their father's wisdom or knowledge to do such a task, sometimes struggling to connect with the people of Petropia. Of course, they haven't told their father this because they feel like they owe Sugilite for creating them in the first place, not wanting to throw his plans out the window. Growing up, though, Ametrine has been friends with people like Malax and Jay through their parent's connections and even dates both Jay and Ambrosia for a while at one point, the three learning from each other during this time. Maybe it'll help Ametrine understand life better.

-Eztli- A 17-year-old Azozzle demigirl who is under the mentorship of Simian. Eztli is a rather unusual individual, as no one knows where they came from, one day simply popping up as a 6-year-old in Undertown with excellent thieving skills. However, she is also naive and can be pretty ditzy, and upon catching Simian's attention, he couldn't help but pity the young girl, feeling like she probably would have died if he hadn't stepped in. They have a very casual dynamic with each other, where he lets her stay at his place, and she helps him with her skills. Because of this, she became childhood friends with Feike due to Simian and Argit's connections. Even after Feike runs off with Sciros, he keeps in contact with Eztli, who worries for his safety but knows she can't force him to do anything. Through Feike she also made friends with Thea, and even those two had a falling out, Thea is still friends with Eztli, one of the few people Thea hardly gets moody with. Eztli is kind and sweet, and while not exactly book-smart, she is very empathic with people and has a way of making connections with them.

-Malin- A 17-year-old Appoplexian/Arachnichimp girl who is the adopted daughter of Technorg. After being freed by Ben, Technorg eventually made his own crew and began travelling the galaxy to free people from pit fights like the one he had been caught in. One day, he found a young child, Malin, with a nasty eye injury that she got in a fight she was forced into. This is not the first time he's recused a child, but Malin had a tough time finding a home due to her hybrid traits. Apparently, being a mix of a chaotic insect monkey and an angry cat weren't desirable traits for potential parents. So Technorg eventually decided to keep her, able to manage her wild and aggressive habits easily. Thankfully, she has mellowed out over the years, even if she can be a bit snappy and blunt. She helps Technorg in his quest to help people like them, and the two have a father-daughter battle style, him being the big heavy hitter and her being the swift sharp hitter.

-Ama Luth- A 19-year-old Revonnahgander young man. Ama Luth is a Plumber in training, soon to be a full-fledged Plumber, being mentored by Rook Shar. She and her brother actually inspired him to join the Plumbers despite his parents' protests, who wanted him to stay home, help with the household, find a girl, and so on. He lives for a thrilling life, wanting to feel like he can make a difference but admittedly also have fun while he's at it. Because of his connections to Shar, he became friends with Rilla, with him sometimes acting like a big brother to her, often teasing her over many things. He also has many run-ins with a certain misfit gang, Dotti, Risley and Rigel. He has this cat-and-mouse game with them, and there may be some flirting between him and Risley, the latter claiming they do like a man in uniform. Ama Luth also has melanism, which is what gives him his unnaturally dark coat and hair.

-Ligeia- A 15-year-old Sseus (Bigender) who is a rising star in a galactic music world. Like many of her people, Ligeia has a stunning voice, but something about hers stands out. She loves the glitz and glam and prides himself on a colourful lifestyle. She met Jay and the others when they were given a plumbers-in-training task of watching over one of her concerts after she received uncomfortable threats. After keeping her safe, she took an interest in Jay, and the pair became fast friends, even dating at one point. He helped bring a lot of confidence into Jay's life, and she often likes to swing by and hang with him and the others when she needs a moment of calmness in her life. Even if his personality is always out there no matter what. She loves to bring joy to people and encourages others to follow their dreams and be themself. A life of lies is not something he wants anyone to have.

-Commix- A 42-year-old Osmosian/Kraaho woman. Commix is a mysterious figure who has spent many years helping people who suffered from the aftermath of villain appearances, working with two others called Zero and Hydrus. Despite the clear power behind the other two, people often get confused by Commix being the leader until she reveals to others she is an osmosian hybrid. She is also rather intelligent and has lots of patience for long-term plans. And one plan she apparently has is to execute many of the villains the Plumbers have in holding. She disagrees with their idea of keeping them locked up, given the times people have broken out and keep causing problems. She believes it's better to eliminate the problem immediately, without hesitation. Jay and the others had no idea why she seemed so hostile about this topic, as it was clear this seemed way too personal to her. However, after some digging, it's found her father is none other than Aggregor, and it's clear she hasn't forgiven him for the insanity he dove into. She's been trying to find him for years now, and clearly not for a loving family reunion. She is cold, sharp, and tired of this awful world in her eyes.

-Zero- A 31-year-old Mutant Galvanic Mechamorph, and anyone with clear eyes can tell precisely who Zero is related to. When Malware was dying, he tried to create a mechamorph spawn, which was supposed to be a recreation of himself. However, Zero only had some of Malware's memories, running off before anyone saw him, hiding away for many years as he questioned his identity. A part of him feels like Malware, but another part of him doesn't have the same anger as his previous self. This has led to him being stuck in an identity crisis cycle, having been found by Commix when he was afraid to hurt people. She helped him out, and he is now incredibly loyal to her for giving him a chance. Even now, he still battles with himself about whether he is Malware or Zero. He can be rather nervous and twitchy, but when settled, he is quiet, curious and willing to learn.

-Hydrus- A 20-year-old Celestialsapien/To'kustar hybrid young girl (Still a child in To'kustar terms). Hydrus is a very unusual hybrid, her celestial genetics being very noticeable. She had been found by Servantis, who saw her mysterious hybrid traits and took her in, where he briefly raised her before putting her in stasis, hoping to use her as a backup plan against Ben if his original plan were to fail. That or eventually experiment with the hybrid to learn more about Celestialsapiens, not trusting such power to run around. However, after he was arrested, he never told anyone about Hydrus, fearing her freedom and not wanting someone like Ben to know about her. So she was stuck in stasis for many years until ten years ago, Commix and Zero found her, freeing her and taking care of her. Commix especially has spent much time raising her, since Hydrus is still a child in her species. This has led to Hydrus considering Commix and Zero as her family, and she will always do as they tell her, making her a dangerous ally of theirs. She has no clue who her parents are, Commix believing that her To'kustar lost her or died, while her Celestialsapien parent probably doesn't care enough about her.

[vocallywritten]

I need to give the cast their flowers 💐

I love Dimension20 and all their seasons hold a special place in my heart, but there is just something extra in A Court of Fey and Flowers. I don't know what it is exactly.

The cast is all amazing on their own, but everyone also has such incredible chemistry and it was so instant.

Lou Wilson is the BACKBONE of this season. He understood better than anyone what a Regency Fey story would be like (equal parts being horny and causing problems on purpose cause you're bored) and he fucking WENT FOR IT. In a story like this you need a Squak. You need a rich, powerful guy who's just here to fuck shit up and do things he specifically will think is funny because he's the idle rich among the FEY. And having a genuine connection with his cousin just makes it so much better. Everytime Lou slips and calls Chirp his sister instead of his cousin I cryyy. Lou understood the assignment and I truly mean it when I say that all the cast did. They really nail the genre. All of them in different ways. But this season would not have been able to reach that perfect balance of Regency and Fey without Lou's character specifically. He's an antagonist, he's an anti-hero, he's a little bit of a villain as a treat, he's here to get in your way, but he might help you out if he thinks that's funnier, he has a cousin who can do no wrong and everyone else can leave. I LOVE him.

Emily as Chirp is amazing as well. Emily Axeford has a bit of a reputation for wrecking DM's shit and causing chaos wherever she can and she is in fine form in this one. What I love about Emily is that even though she IS chaotic at the table, it's almost always with purpose (even if that purpose is "I think this will be funny" she makes the things she does count, in the story, in the fight, whatever she's doing) and she never uses that chaos to take over the table. She's so mindful of the other players and always wants to do things that will make the game fun for everyone while also coming in with this great energy for herself. Her and Lou, like I said before are incredible to watch together. They have such Team Rocket meets Henry and Mary Crawford energy. They play off of each other SO WELL it is a delight to watch every single time they interact. Emily has great range. She's an incredible comedic actor and is also a very strategic player and these two things make for amazing character choices. ("Ostrich chariot pulled by birds!" She prioritized bird puns in her character build when picking spells!!) She is AMAZING.

And what can I say about Brennan Lee Mulligan that hasn't already been said? He's one of the best DMs in actual play. He's incredibly talented and intelligent and he uses humor and comedy as a foundation to create such emotionally rich and resonant stories in a way I really admire. And as a player? He is incredible to watch. His ability to go wherever the story takes him while remaining staunchly in character is great. And I ADORE his dynamic with Aabria. There is truly so much trust and respect there and even though they're really good both as players and as GMs I think Aabria being the GM brings something extra to Brennan being the player. Like I don't know if they just have really good communication, or if they just have great instincts that let them play off each other so well (probably both) but whenever they work together the work is immediately elevated. Brennan as Hobb is such a stand out performance among 5 other stand out performances. Brennan is always very good at nailing whatever genre he's in and my God did he bring his A game here. The serious, dutiful captain pining for someone above his station is like... PEAK Jane Austen. And he didn't even PLAN hitting that archetype. It literally just happened naturally. The power. The skill. I am in awe of that ability to find the most interesting story for a character and make it happen. His desicion to let the dice decide important choices for his character because Hobb is being pulled in two different directions all the time is INSPIRED. He's just great. We all know it.

Okay now we get to the people new to the dome and don't worry I have A LOT to say about them, they're all so talented and amazing and I want them all to come back.

Oscar is playing his first full campaign in THIS SEASON??? ARE WE SURE??? He is out here making huge swings immediately and they're all paying off! It's so satisfying to watch him play. He has chemistry with literally everyone at the table and like this whole table has amazing chemistry, but he is so good at zeroing in on the other character's motivations and figuring out the best way for Rue to engage with and connect with them. I love the way he's so RP focused and every move he makes is always with Rue's motivations in mind. Literally everything Rue does is highly motivated, even if we don't understand their reasons yet and that is SO GOOD!!! Like when Rue didn't sit down at the meeting with the Lords of the Wing I thought that was Oscar metagaming a little bit to mess with Emily and Lou because they were trying so hard to fuck with Rue and it was funnier but NO. They had a reason the whole time!! He's so good at this. And the way Rue had one moment with Hobb and Oscar was like, "I am now the romantic lead in a regency pining fest." is amazing. The way he has developed Rue's arc and their romance with Hobb is just so incredibly well done and he has just done such an amazing job in this season. Another person who absolutely understands the assignment.

Omar next. OMAR! OMAR !!!!! IS KILLING ME!!!! The juxtaposition of his character being a socially awkward loser and also the Hottest Catch at the Bloom is amazing and what he does with it is so fun. And the way he's such a comedic character at the beginning (and yes D20 is a comedy show but he is REALLY playing Andhera as like a comic relief character trying to break into being a main character and not really knowing how and it's so fun) but then he hits us with just some of the most emotional shit known man with a friendly little smile on his face and you're like "WAIT NO GO BACK. What was that???!!!" I have said it before and I will say it again, Andhera is the most capital R Romantic character in the whole show and I just can't handle it because he's also just so funny and can turn on either the tragedy or the comedy at a moment's notice. He's hot! He has a fake voice! He was deeply neglected as a child! He has a creepy grandpa face dog! He's so bad at talking! He has a shard stuck in his neck and it's the saddest fucking thing you've ever heard!! Omar has some RANGE and Andhera is such a fun character. (Also his whole thing with Binx may actually lead me to an early grave. I have not been so obsessed with a dynamic in years. Like platonic, romantic, I don't care I just want them to be devoted shell pals starting revolutions and finding a home in the Court of Craft forever and ever. And I would also like them to hug before the season ends, please and thank you.)

Surena!!!!!!! Is!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!! I've probably called every cast member amazing but Surena especially deserves the title. They are so incredible. She had a hard job coming in, playing someone pretty separate from the rest of the group, an outsider playing a role they were uncomfortable in and really just knocked it out of the park!! And her character is so essential to getting the plot moving and the connections their character made have really done a lot in making the whole story of this season so engaging. All her reveals and her secrets!! And leading that to them finally letting down her walls and trusting people. I am at the edge of my seat whenever Surena/Gwyn/Binx does basically anything because she's so embroiled in the main mystery. Like other people came ready to party and make matches but Binx is spying and ready to tear down the institution from the inside and I LOVE that. So many great stakes in the show come with their character and her choices. Like Lou is the backbone of the show in terms of tone and setting the right scene, Surena spent half the season carrying the whole plot on their back (not that the other players didn't move the plot forward or have interesting things going on. They ABSOLUTELY did! But this story would just not be the same without Surena doing some brick laying from the beginning). Her characterization of Binx is also just so charming and I love watching her reactions when other players are doing cool things. (And also Surena has a great smile. That also can be said. It's sort of relevant to what I was saying 🤣) Binx is a great character and watching how Surena plays them as both a spy intent on justice and a socially awkward outsider is just such a joy to watch.

And finally Aabria. @quiddie. Can I talk to you directly for a second about what a talented and intelligent and empathetic and AMAZING GM/DM you are?? Because you are absolutely incredible at what you do. Whatever extra spark this season has I think is down to Aabria and her ability as a GM. She's so GOOD at finding the things her PCs care the most about and making them happen so organically. She is always just SO prepared and ready and willing to roll with whatever punches the PCs might throw her way. And the way she hypes up the players and wants to make sure everyone is having a good time is very wholesome. Her entire vibe is both exactly what I aspire to be as a GM and also exactly the kind of person I would want as my GM. She has such an eye for detail and I love how she weaves the important stuff into the story with so much grace you don't even know she's setting something up until she brings it back a couple episodes later and punches you directly in the face with it. Aabria knows how to tell a good story and she is so good at working with her players to make sure that story is fully collaborative. And as someone who loves a good romance subplot, I really respect her coming into D20 and being like "This is great, but what if more characters kissed?"

In conclusion I love everyone involved in this project. It's just so well done and well acted and well made all around.

I need a season 2 with the Pack of Pixies. One season is just not enough.

Do Not Disturb

Summary: You've had a long week, and hanging out with Vernon was just the thing you needed to relax. What you didn't expect was to fall asleep in his company, or what he would do in response to it.

WC: 1.2k

Ambiguous relationship (can be interpreted as either platonic or romantic), fluff

A/N: Thank you to @twogyuu for both reading the draft I sent her at midnight (my time) in the most unhinged manner possible and for tagging me in the prompt that started this. I'm still sobbing btw. This is on you. This is based off this imagine from @imagine-svt (sorry for the tag)!

Maybe coming to the dorms to visit Vernon was a bad idea. Today was just another day in a string of restless nights and tired days that continued to plague you as you fretted over your work. But then again, that’s exactly the reason why you’re here. Being around Vernon was such a soothing experience, his calm and level-headed personality seemed to rub off on you whenever he was around. Everyone else had gone out for the day, doing either some kind of schedule or just to go out and about. You didn’t mind, spending a quiet day inside was just the thing you needed. You leaned your head on Vernon’s shoulder, half reading the pages of his book with him as he leaned his head against yours.

“Do you want to read it with me?” He asked quietly, shifting the book towards you so you could read it better if you wanted to.

“Mm, no, not really. Do you mind reading it to me instead?” You murmured, exhaustion clear in your voice. 

“Okay then, let me know if you want me to stop.”

To be honest, you weren’t really paying attention to what he was reading anyways, the words melting together and the meanings just as indecipherable. So you didn’t pay attention to what he was saying either, focusing on his voice and how warm he was underneath you. Everything was just so comfortable and warm, and his voice slowly yet surely faded away…

It was much darker when you woke up, the sun long gone now as you regained your bearings. You noticed that the sun wasn’t the only thing that was gone when you found a pillow underneath your head instead of Vernon’s shoulder. You wonder why the dorms were so quiet, everyone who had left during the day should’ve been back by now. Something crinkles in your hand as you sit up, drawing your attention to a piece of paper that you didn’t notice before. “Do Not Disturb” was written in Vernon’s handwriting in black ink, and as you flip it over to reveal a blank side you realize that that’s all it says. You huff out a little laugh at it; it’s such a simple but thoughtful gesture of his to do, but one so in character of him that you would’ve recognized it as something he did even if you didn’t know his handwriting. That did explain why no one was bothering you though, they must’ve seen both you sleeping and the little sign in your hand and left you in peace. You were kind of impressed with it, they were always very chaotic and high-energy whenever you saw them, but they were normal people too and it made sense when you thought about it for a bit. 

But your endearment for him really reached a peak when you got up, only for a jacket to fall off your shoulders. Vernon’s jacket, the maroon leatherman one he was wearing when you were sitting together. Your heart melts at the sheer number of things he did to make sure you were comfortable, and you were going to make it a point to pay him back for it later. 

Slipping your arms in the sleeves and placing the paper in the pocket, you relish in the way it smells like him as you endeavor to return it to its owner. You weren’t exactly the most familiar with the layout of the building, but a quick time check from your phone gave you hope that you would find at least someone around to help you in case you got lost. 

You didn’t have to search for very long when you heard Vernon’s voice call out to you from behind you, prompting you to turn around. You smiled at him as he approached you, giving him a tight hug when he came close enough.

“How did you sleep?” He smiled, adjusting the collar of your- his jacket. 

“Better than I have this entire week.” You sighed, leaning your head against his shoulder again. “But thank you for doing all this for me when I fell asleep, including the cute little sign you made for me.” 

He rubs the back of his neck shyly, looking away from you. “You think it’s cute?”

“Oh, absolutely adorable. And it works too, since I haven’t had a problem with any noise at all. Still haven’t either, are you sure this isn’t some kind of charm?” 

As if on cue, a loud scream tore through the silence, one that sounded very distinctly like Dokyeom’s, before a round of voices began to shush him.

Vernon snorted. “Well, that was fast. I went to check up on you in case you were awake, good thing you were because I think that would have woken you up if you weren’t.” 

“Regardless of how I would’ve woken up, I’m sorry we didn’t get to hang out like I wanted to. I didn’t mean to fall asleep like that, I really must’ve been more tired than I thought.” 

“It’s okay, I had a feeling that you could use a nice break. We can always do something together another day, I’m just glad you’re feeling better now.” 

You shake your head. “You’re really too nice to me, I swear. Hey, do you want your jacket back by any chance? I was going to give it back anyways, but the thought left my mind until now.” 

You pull off the jacket to offer it to him, trying to ignore the chill that hits you the moment that you do. Vernon raises his eyebrow at it, before shaking his head. “I can tell that you’re cold, and it’s pretty cold out now since the sun set. Just hold onto it for now, you can return it to me later.”

Your grip on it falters slightly, a slight frown tugging at the corners of your mouth. “Are you sure? I mean, you’ve done plenty for me already, I wouldn’t want to make you do anything else for me.”

“You haven’t ‘made’ me do anything, I do these things because I want to and I care about you. It’ll be fine if you take it home, I promise, I have other jackets I can wear in the meantime.”

You let out a small sigh, but concede as you pull the jacket back on. “Thank you, really. For everything you do. I just want you to know that.” 

Vernon gets a soft look in his eyes, smiling fondly. “It’s no problem at all, I’d do it again for you if the chance came up again. Say, do you want to continue the book I was reading to you?” He joked.

You laughed loudly at that, trying to stifle it in the sleeve of your jacket. “Sure, let’s hope I actually remember what happens this time. You might have to tell me a little bit of what was happening before, I don’t think I caught anything I was reading with you.” 

You sat down with him again, looking through the book he was holding as you leaned your head on his shoulder. It was a moment just like this that started everything that happened today, and you smiled fondly at the thought of it. You lean further into Vernon as he reads to you, hoping that you wouldn’t fall asleep again. You wouldn’t mind if you did anyway, and you knew Vernon wouldn’t either.

Eternal Healing…

an oc x canon (w/ sfw mpreg) ship au (Introductory Chapter)

This is gonna be what sets up the rest of the AU. Please read it if you wanna get the idea of what's to come in the future...... highly highly recommend and I could not say it enough. (THIS IS MY OWN ART BTW: DO NOT STEAL//ASK FOR PERMISSION//DO NOT USE FOR AI PURPOSES FTLOG)

Begins below the cut....

It wasn't truly known to the multiverse but there was one bubble that seemingly came from nowhere. It had a chaotic signature. But no golb energy. Free from the chaos that came before it and yet totally filled with it. A sign that this universe didn't seem to go by the standards of that which the others had maintained by some weird "out-of-mortal-reach" standpoint.

Prismo turned to it from surfing around. His eye sparkling as he notices it's uniqueness from every other universe he's tapped into...... Yet it has peaked some interest. He looks deeper into it. Mythological kinds resembling the greeks...modernized? There were literal gods roaming the earth? How can that be? He searches deeper into this universe. Seeing a captivating story unfold. He knows the stories of the old from the creation myth to the herculean and odyssey. But one had stuck out from the rest. The Moiraios Pateras. The fated father. From skimming through the universe's timeline a silhouette appears on the screen. Tall, muscular, pierced, tatted and rather low-key in their demeanor. A pink aura surrounded them. Suggesting feminine qualities. But by their wrists, pure golden rings. They seemingly smoked a cigarette as one of their signature pieces of who they are. What made them, themself in their image of godhood. Without notice, he gets a call from Fiona. His attention being interrupted as he hears a frantic and albeit a little anxiety ridden tone. "Prismo! You gotta help us! Simon's been silent for the past few months. I've tried calling him, texting him, everything! But when I went over to his place, he barged the house and how he's gone fucking coo coo!! HE'S BEEN TRYING TO SUMMON BETTY AGAIN!" More frantic noises came from the other line. Old man whining, a gruff sounding Cake trying to keep him still and Fiona seemingly grunting from exertion in an effort to pin him down, keeping him from going completely haywire. Fuck it's a relapse. Therapy didn't do the trick for his ability to move on, did it? His expression drops without a second thought and quite worried for them, Prismo summons them.

All of them looked like they'd belong in a bowl of ramen they were so intertwined. Simon's head only appearing out from beyond two legs as he was squeezed tight from Cake's body. Squirming to be let go so he could 'finish what he started'. And if his wet cat appearance didn't already shock you enough, he looked even more rugged. His eye bags far more definite, white eyes still crazed out of their mind, spit almost running from the mouth, hair matted and frizzled, even his outfit was either halfway worn or was nearly completely off. Leaving him nearly naked. Jeez Simon you sure relapsed into your own self-made insanity there. Finally when he was able to be let loose, he scattered to the screen and slammed his back against it. Hyperventilating. Not even thinking about where he was. The duo meanwhile, felt almost sick to their stomach seeing him nearly more close in line to the refrigerator version of himself. Just more alive and....writhing with an overactive conscious. Cake looked back up to her blonde companion and bit her lip. Asking a question that seemed a little too harsh but had a point to be driven across. "Do you think he might have a mild case of rabies, girl?" Fiona shook her head as she looked at him. Her own emotions and conscious fighting for supremacy as much as Cake's was. The hairs and fur on both of their bodies standing up finally taking his insane form in for a look once again.

The old grunt seemingly calmed down a little bit before realizing where he was and nearly crying. Sulking in his depression once more. He was so close, nearly there....but it was just no use. He tried so hard for his love. But fate still has its ways of teaching him. Even if he wanted to checkmate fate any way he could. Even by trying to summon her one final time. But looking around, trying to make his thoughts clear even if his emotions didn't want him too, he notices a deeply concerned Prismo with a pensive look to him. "You just couldn't handle the wait.... could you?" He spoke. The old man simply looked to his side. Not wanting any confrontation at the moment. But, time pushed on. And with time, came more conservations and desperate hopes to get him to talk. "Simon, you know that what you did wasn't gonna work out, right?" Still with the silence. His heart ached with each little word spoken before him. He couldn't bear to keep a front, but if he wanted to return to what he was doing earlier, then he had to stick it out. But doing that he made himself look like a toddler in denial. Still......, with one more question. "Betty won't return again, man. You remember?"

"...I clearly do. And I have no regrets to everything I've done thus far." He bit his lip as he growled at him with tears. "Can't you just let an old man live to see his wife in some other way--" Simon gets cut short by Prismo interrupting him. "Ah ah ah.. Nope. Not having this conversation. She's gone dude. Her next life is a comet now that she's been..... given a chance by some other entity."

Simon put his head in his knees, not wanting to face Prismo or his neighboring companions for all he cared. Again, the conversation needed momentum and the multiverse watcher wasn't gonna let up. Nor was he gonna shy away from the truth as Fiona and Cake watched in heartbroken blunder. "Can't you see the reality to this situation that you've made...?" A long silence befell everyone in the room. The big screen fizzled out to the universe still being watched. Now just focusing on the present moment that was going on there. No one batted their gaze. Just focusing on Simon. Prismo sighed. "You relapsed dude....."

From that point on, Simon finally bursted into tears and flopped onto the ground. Prompting Cake to shapeshift into a big bean bag for him to rest upon lazily. Fiona was right over to lend him a hand to hold and a person to be comforted by. "Let it out dude....it's okay." His cries turned ugly as he continued forth trying his damnest to recount his memories of Betty while being faced with his crippling reality check. He finally was able to let the mental and emotional wound be opened once more. Cleaned by tears that were dying to come out. It was freeing but the effects were soul crushing.

....

....

....

....

they nearly stayed like that for fifteen minutes.... just comforting an old man who was close to them by their friendship. Prismo in the meantime was configuring how to fix this situation. Coming up dry every time he thought of something? Erasing golb statues? Simon would be the only one to know of such an object. Displacing memories? He'd be back to his insane half. Destroying the crown? Nigh. Wouldn't work as something was gonna be out there to trap it or harness it for other purposes anyways.

Still, Simon would have a minuscule chance of finding it and Prismo was not willing to run that risk in the moment. But his eye keeps darting towards the screen. Seeing the universe that he skimmed to. Could there be a way to send him there so he could be pushed to move forward? Move forward and be done sulking entirely? Because if this forces a habit onto him then his mind would change finally. But he'd still be the only one to know about the Golb nonsense he put himself through.....tough choices man..... tough choices.

Alas, after minutes of hearing Simon trying to come back to a more calm state, Prismo just decides to roll with this risky idea. "I may or may not have a plan. That doesn't involve the golb or Betty. Simon." He batted an eye towards the cowering and sulking individual. Now wiping his snot with Fiona's shirt. Gross. The dark brunette to ravenette looked back up. Tears still in his eyes but a more ready and accepting energy seemed to come to mind. It's like this was the 'it' moment that Simon was wishing would come sooner. Like death or something similar. He nods.

"What if I send you into this world...?"

The team immediately looks back up at the screen and notices the scenery. It started out looking much to the chagrin of the Alamo. But instead of its walls being an aged stone, they looked freshly painted to an old former glory not seen since the 1700s during Spanish Colonialism. But instead of hispanic culture, it looked a little greek. You had your spanish influence from the riverwalks, but there was a bonus added on flair of grecian flavor. The river's banks had fairies of multiple pastel hues ranging from a what's seemingly common pink, to a rare case of a pure ashy grey. They hid into some of the trees to keep their distance from humans below. But when they were in the water, it seemingly looked like they bathed at night. Amidst the moonlight.

Simon feels something billow in his lower stomach as he watched. It was suuuupper faint. But it felt like nothing but a small nervous tickle. He pushed it aside as the scenery continued to be shown.

Another shift in the screen and it showcased a piece of more rural texas lit up by a pink colored festival. Dancing and parading in the area, with tailgating and campsites established. Very Woodstock reminiscent but also more closely in tune with a big get together of locals that came for the party. What was in mind, was again, more pink colored motifs. More moon imagery and what was more strange is that the men themselves in some cases.... looked as if they 'carried' children too. Was there some sort of magic enabling cross-biological pregnancies? It piqued his interest but racked his levels nervousness.

Once more, another shift. This time it was in the summertime months. It looked hot and it decided to feature a pool party happening at some mansion in the middle of the city on a ranch. The greek flags were held high, the texan one flew same height and no sight of an american one. Very prideful people it seemed. From the noise, it felt like a family get-together. The people there were more mature in their looks. Taller than an average mortal. By several feet at most. It brought Simon's emotions back down to a level of ease as he saw how comfortable they all were together.

One of the members wielded thunder as well as a very jovial and horny personality, one of them wielded water with a trident ordained with a cool demeanor, another one naturally liked to practice boxing on one of the trees in the backyard. A few of the women in this huge family get together seemed busty and pale in complexion. They all had either white to grey hair, soft features and a soft demeanor. Sensitive and doting. Delighting in the pool, they seemed to be resting on someone's shoulders. Their hands swirled around this one's shoulders. They looked tatted, couldn't give less of a shit, looked like they had hoes and yet had no sexual drive to carry on. Smoking a cigarette they let these women of sorts hug them. Not hindering in enjoying some sweet affection. But they all conversed like they were family. Questions like, 'so did you find him yet?' 'is there anyone in particular?' 'when will the new age begin? I-err... we! can't be waiting like this~!' Their eyes were grey, with dark brown hair. They even had pierced lips, a septum nosering, eyebrow and ear studs. This person sounded nothing like a man but leaned close to that margin. "I have no clue, just enjoy the time we got for right now y'all. It may feel like hell but we'll be outta here at some point." They cackled.

Simon's heart started to beat a tiny little bit more. Like he's taken interest already. But, he's barely met this woman...man....person.... Ohhh Prismo. What have you done to bless this man?

Before he could turn back to Prismo, he gave it some thought on whether to go there or not. But, even if he remembers Betty in this moment in time, with how risk taking she was, it's about time he took one such chance of his own. Besides he never truly knows what it's like until he leaves his home and explores. You never make history by sitting around. You never create nostalgia by moping. As he continues to ponder though, he considers another thought. Will Fiona and everyone he's ever known be there? It looked unlikely and with some wild thought, he even dived deeper into the 'what if's of combining universes. He gulped as his decisions were clearly starting to become more finite in their ways. There was only one way of things going if he really wanted to go there.

"Prismo....if there's any way you can make sure that Fiona, Cake, Marcy, Bonnie, Marshall and everyone else, as well as the residents in Ooo itself also end up there...." He finally stands tall, hands to his sides as he's positioned to look like an avatar off of a video game screen. "Then I'd be happy to go." Fiona and Cake stand flabbergasted at each other, now standing tall themselves. Giving themselves a chance to look back at the screen as one white star fills the TV screen on a black void. A silence befell them as life begins to alter in their minds. Wondering what they would be able to find there and what kinds of crazy scenarios they'd be able to handle given such extreme weather conditions and unique magic/power dispositions.

The scene slowed....

Prismo's fingers were about to snap.

The duo looks to each other, beginning to go about their mantra. "You know what time it is?"

Simon's eyes closed slowly as the moment drew near.

Fiona and Cake finished their mantra, responding to each other with a fist bump. The iconic energy was back baby! "Adventure time!!"

[SNAP]

......

Cicadas sung their sweet melody with the crickets in a nature based choir.... all in the last few minutes of twilight. The hunk seemingly rushing over to these bodies that laid asleep near the backyards trees. A deeply southern tone with both concern and worry, masqueraded with a tough resilience comes forth.

"Oh Saturn.....~"

[stargirlnyx]

OKAY, so a little note, if you don’t like any of my ships or opinions that is okay. I don’t really care nor mind if other people think differently. This is just what I personally enjoy.

Jiwoo/Wooin/Jisuk

They’re in a polyamorous relationship, they love each other. Possessive, protective and like actually sickeningly in love with each other. I take no criticism.

I think I really liked this ship when Wooin and Jisuk were fighting each other, espeically when Wooin thought Jisuk was the reason why Jiwoo was in hospital and injured due to malicious intent rather than the two fighting each other lolol.

They’re just adorable i love how much they love each other (platonic or romantic) but yeah, they’re definitely one of my favourite ships/dynamics together.

I love how protective they are over one another, espeically Jiwoo like ugh gets me in my feels. I hc that Jiwoo loves them infinitely more because he was such a lonely child and when he had come to terms with his feelings, that he didn’t like just Wooin but Jisuk he was like oh yeah thats right, all the childhood abandonment is making up for it in terms of having two lovers.

Inhyuk/Seongha

Like what do you mean they aren’t married? They live together and have two cats as their children. The only cats that Seongha isn’t deathly afraid of. The way they bicker with each other, espeically at the beginning was my favourite and then eventually they were forced into spending time together by their adopted siblings (Jiwoo and the troublesome trio)

You know the olive theory? Yeah that’s them. Inhyuk hates olive but Seongha loves them. That’s them. Nothing more I need to add.

(Oh yeah almost forget, they’re both pining over Giwook who they are madly in love with. Giwook knows of course, how couldn’t he when he’s sent bouquets and see’s them from the corner as they watch for his reaction. He’s fond, so fond of them but he wants to make them sweat a little)

Jisuk/Subin

Okay, so like I’ve said before, i really cannot see anything more than platonic between these two, absolutely PEAK CHAOTIC SIBLING ENERGY. I say that with everything in me, the way these two fight with each other and argue is absolutely my favourite fucking thing in the manhwa espeically when they know how to get on each other nerves and how they know what motivates the other. I really love that between them😭 im not even kidding, i have a whole album dedicated to those scenes.

But like I said, I honestly don’t care if you ship them romantically, everyone is different. If some ship thats fine, it doesn’t bother me.

But i just love them so much, especially Subin shes so hot and powerful. I love her so much, shes one of my favourite characters. At first i was unsure how she was going to fit into the dynamics but she was exactly what they needed. Best girl of the entire manhwa.

Kayden/Kartein

Sorry husbands? Divorced husbands who got back together because they actually complete each other. Chaos x Chaos. Kayden would be in a fight and Kartein is in the back cheering for his husband to beat their ass. Absolutely unhinged in every way possible but some how they found a way to love each other and love their adopted child Jiwoo, because what do you mean? Jiwoo is actually their son, i have written proof from the authors themselves.

Or they could be divorced husbands who secretly still love each other and the only reason why they still hang around one another is because of the custody they share over Jiwoo.

Their biggest enemies are each other, yeah they love one another, but absolutely expect Kartein to be planning Kayden’s murder. His ideas range from poisoning him or just suffocating him in his sleep. Kayden knows this, only makes him love his husband even more.

#eleceed manhwa #seo jiwoo #wooin eleceed #yoo jisuk #lee subin #kayden break #kartein eleceed #goo inhyuk #park seongha #i love them all such much #absolutely one of my favourite manhwa #stargirlnyx

For the character dynamics, Alhaitham and Albedo?

this is pEAK two gremlins in fancy clothing vibes slkdfjklsdf - for context (x)

and like don't get me wrong i mean that in the most 'i love them' kind of way sldkjfkljsdf like u have two genius researchers who happen to have a little chaotic streak amongst their otherwise calm and straightforward demeanor?

and don't get me STARTED on the philosophical discussions, tell me they don't just sit around lightly debating for hours on end about anything and everything. alhaitham prefers it 1000% to any work-related anything, he writes off his time as 'international relations and foreign studies', while albedo appreciates someone who has zero qualms debating him on even the most ostensibly taboo topics

i think that's probably what they get the most of, from each other - the rational approach to most topics? not that they can't be emotional, but i think they feel they can take a similar approach to discussions without worrying about all the requisite niceties and emotional regulation, there's a sense of 'ah, this is someone i don't have to expend energy to "fit in" around'

i think albedo finds alhaitham intriguing and appreciates a unique point of view on his work and generally, while alhaitham views albedo as a strange but amenable person (yeah ur one to talk haitham lmao) with whom he enjoys spending time. they can totally pass time in silence too, each doing their respective activities without any need for chatting if that's the vibe of the day

i get the sense too that alhaitham would willingly offer akademiya resources without prompting to assist with albedo's research? again, under the pretense of international relations/foreign studies or something, but i just think he finds the process of research interesting when it's something (or someone) he's interested in, and albedo would mention something offhand and alhaitham would be like 'oh i can help with that' and just, next day without any warning the equipment or resources or whatever would be at albedo's doorstep (cave-step?? lmao)

anyway i think they're two of a kind and they vibe really well together both in casual and academic contexts lmao

send two genshin characters (ship or not) and i’ll give u my take on their dynamic

The evil managed (Part seven)

(Part six)

The now very dark Dream Beast kept her smile wide and ominous as ever, even with the aura of darkness that began to linger around her form and swirl around her occasionally. It even seemed slightly electrified as the air tingled with static and sparks of electricity intensified from the spikes on her tail. The peculiar thing was how the bolts went from a simple yellow color to..Purple and green. It continued to intensify as the aura seemed to grow ever stronger and ever darker until completely hiding the Dream Beast from view. But then the darkness began to swirl and spin within place, gathering energy from an unseen force as the Dream Beast hidden within transformed into something with the aid of what Nega Lightning had given.

From within the darkness a new form manifested. The darkness faded as the creature shook off and faced Nightmare Beast with a growl. A familiar appearance yet very different from the terror who once came to the tree and fought the realm guardian herself. A long tail lined in spikes, with rings made of key trio energy though dim and needing a charge floating on it. Wings made of both fire and electricity opened from the back, and a crown of blue rested on the head. The neon claws flexed slightly as the feet shifted a bit.

Dream Beast then roared at Nightmare Beast. A floating orb above her crown revealed itself to be an eye of sorts with a tail sending a single lightning bolt. Dream Beast just needed the key rings to be charged for the final push required to get past this basic form that didn’t yet hold the power required. Nightmare Beast grew even more enraged, and shot a bolt of darkness at Dream Beast without holding back yet again. But Dream Beast didn’t flinch nor move. The bolt fizzled away once it hit her and one of the rings lit up.

Nightmare Beast shot another bolt without holding back at her. Another ring started to glow. She figured out quickly that one more bolt would surely be a mistake…But why not? Surely the Dream Beast wouldn’t be able to withstand it again. So Nightmare Beast shot another bolt off. The last ring started to glow. She felt a sinking feeling as chaotic energy bursted from the rings and latched onto the ominous orb which soon was restored back into Nega Lightning who hopped down and was giggling with glee.

“For years I’ve been gathering the Nega Crystal shards just to restore it back to normal once more…” Nega Lightning remarked in her feline form, pacing around in front of the Dream Beast. “And I did it! I’ve found every last one of them!” She sat down and held her claws into the air where several fragments of the Nega Crystal floated into the air above her and suddenly the whole crystal had reformed. “Now I could use this power for myself! Buuuuut.” She put her hands back on the ground and got back up with a grin. “I figured it was time for someone else to have their fun with it.” And she slammed her claws into the ground, opening her wings and her chaotic electricity activated the Nega Crystal as she then held her claws into the sky and knocked it high into the clouds.

When the crystal reached its peak, a neon purple tongue shot through the clouds and wrapped around it several times. Down below, the Dream Beast had opened her mouth and used her tongue to catch it so it wouldn’t be lost yet again. “Now let’s see if you can win this time.” Nega Lightning teased to Nightmare Beast as the Nega Crystal was yanked back down and then eaten by the Dream Beast.

And the static in the air suddenly became much more worse.

#Special story arc: The evil managed #long post is long

[gaycaffeinebee]

ok first I just read your author description and I think im in love. could you write a tiny prompt about a chaotic fire sign who likes cooking and a quiet but extremely smart water sign making dinner together? I was thinking friends to lovers but I've also never seen a platonic making dinner together scene. ill let you figure that out 😅

Aw thank you - I love you too my dear anon <3

I'm gonna try to write both just for the hell of it lol

Platonic version (80 words):

A- "DUDE!"

B- "What? It's a tomato. Tomatoes are squish-able,"

A- "THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU NE-" *they take a deep breath* "B, sweetheart, tomatoes being squish-able does not mean you must squish them. Completely. To smithereens. On the bare ass goddamn counter,"

B- "The recipe says we need to mash them tho. Its like tomato soup,"

A- "It's marinara sauce, but close enough,"

B- "Why can't we just put canned tomato soup on spaghetti? Like it's all tomato. Just different fonts,"

Friends to lovers version (395 words):

A- *walking in through the front door on the phone, holding groceries* "Yeah well that project can wait 'till tomorrow, Kevin. I don't have the mental energy to handle your attitude right now. Goodnight,"

*A hangs up*

B- "Well that conversation sounded exciting,"

A- "Jesus fucking Christ, B. What are you doing in my apartment?"

*B peaks around the corner from the kitchen to see A*

B- "Well aren't you fancy-shmancy,"

A- "I was at work, B. This ain't fancy,"

B- "Oh but it is! See-"

A- "Is something burning? What are you making? B what the ever living fuck are you doing in my apartment?"

B- "I spilled some batter on the burner so it's making a smell. I know you were going to be alone tonight and tomorrow because of *insert important date here*. If you don't want me here, I will leave but let me finish the pancakes so you don't starve during your self-isolation,"

A- "B, you didn't need to do this. I didn't give you the spare key so you can break in and make me food,"

B- "Then why did you give me a key? I know for damn sure it wasn't for funnzies,"

A- "I wanted to give you a safe space that wasn't your house so you can come and take a breath, or a nap, or stay the night. If you want pancakes I can make the rest so you can eat,"

B- "Stop making this about me. I'm making you food so I can leave you alone for a few days and know you won't be dead when I come back,"

*Slight pause as A climbs up onto the counter, not making eye contact with B who's now flipping more pancakes*

A- "What if I don't want you to leave?"

B- "Then I will stay. I know where all the extra sheets and blankets are so don't worry-"

A- "B, you don't need to sleep on the couch, if you don't want to,"

B- "No no. The couch and the floor are both very comfortable. I am perfectly fi-"

A- "Hey, ADHD brain? Can you turn around and look at me? You're missing the point,"

B- "I'm gonna burn the pancakes, A! I can't look away,"

*A jumps off the counter, walks up to B, and turns them around manually*

A- "Can I kiss you?"
