[fatuismooches]

Imagine the 3.8 Secret Summer Paradise event but with Wanderer and you. Nahida sends Wanderer to investigate something in the desert and you tag along for fun but you two get sucked into a magic bottle somehow?! Klee dubs his title as the “Sorcerer” - her mage sidekick - and yours as the “Soldier” - her protecter! (Or whatever you want, I’m bad at this.)

The rollercoasters are nothing compared to Wanderer’s flights of fright. He will do loops, twists, turns, upside downs in the air all while holding YOU… at least in the rollercoaster there are seats. Klee is amazed by your endurance and wants to try flying too! (Wanderer reluctantly gives her a piggy back ride and flies a safe distance up from the ground… Kaeya’s watching him very carefully, but you vehemently reassure him that Wanderer would never hurt a child. The cavalry captain actually grows to like him!) Though you manage to convince Wanderer to ride a slow rollercoaster with you. There’s no one else in the Choo-Choo Cart, and it’s late at night. Wanderer lays on your lap as you play with his hair, the both of you silent as you stare out the window, taking in the lovely sights of this realm.

Idyia’s quite scared of Wanderer at first but overtime she comes to fawn over and admire how deep your love is, she’s met many people in her little bottle, but no one has ever had a relationship like yours! Not to mention, Zosimos takes inspiration from the two of you for his characters. And speaking of plays, I think despite the fact the one the group acted out had poor plot, Wanderer finds joy in it, because I believe he likes the arts/dance/performances, and also he found Klee’s acting endearing. (When Kaeya runs out of stories for her, Wanderer takes over and tells her Inazuman folktales!)

Collei is extremely nervous speaking to Wanderer, but finds herself liking him more than she expected. She feels like she can… relate to him, for some strange reason? She doesn’t really understand, since she’s never met him before, but she doesn’t question it. Plus, she knows you’re a really nice person, so you wouldn’t date someone who’s mean, anyway. Eula is suspicious of him at first too, but seeing Collei warm up to him makes her tolerate him, while Kokomi finds the stranger very interesting. She has a few chats with Wanderer, and the things he says about Inazuma has her only more curious. The most important part is, Klee wants to be the flower girl at your wedding, whenever that happens.

Moving on, Wanderer has a soft spot for the Hydro Eidolons because they remind him a bit of the Aranara. He acts all annoyed when they want to play hide and seek with him but secretly he enjoys it (and you’re enjoying his fervent denial at being soft.) You two play all of the games together, although Wanderer is less enthusiastic about it than you (as usual of course) but he actually enjoys Bing-Bang Finchball! :3 (He wonders if his creator and that kitsune would like it, too.) Most of all, Wanderer especially enjoys the solitude he gets at certain places of the realm. Sometimes you’re with him, sometimes you’re not, but when you are, during these moments he’s oddly quiet and clingy. Sometimes he still struggles to accept his life and what he’s been through. But making memories like these with you make him happy.

At the end of your stay, when you have to bury a treasure to leave behind, you put in two dolls of Wanderer and you that you quickly made in the mirage! (Wanderer had taught you how to make them that nicely.) You didn’t show your lover at first, a bit embarrassed and scared of his reaction, but he found out anyway and sighed, but pulled down his hat to cover his blush. He flew you to a beautiful spot with the best view, and you two buried it together. You wonder if it would still be there if you ever visited again.

Even after many years pass, Idyia never fails to tell the engrossing tale of the grouchy puppet and his darling lover, an unlikely but loving couple. Maybe if you’re lucky, you could meet them spending their days strolling the streets of Sumeru with the young Archon.

Overall, an unplanned but very necessary vacation that Wanderer needed. Nahida had a blast listening to all of your stories! (And happy he has made some more friends, which he of course denies that accusation.)

𓆩♡𓆪 Han Jisung

It was a typical Saturday afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. You were sitting on the porch of your cozy little house, feeling a little overwhelmed by the waves of anxiety crashing over you. Your mind was racing, and you just couldn't seem to shake off the stress.

Just then, your boyfriend, Jisung appeared with a warm smile on his face, holding two cups of tea in his hands. "Hey, babe," he said as he handed you one of the cups. "I thought you might need this."

You took the cup gratefully and inhaled the comforting aroma. "Thanks, Hannie," You replied, feeling a bit better already just having him by your side. He sat down beside you, placing his arm around your shoulders, and asked, "What's got you feeling all anxious?"

You hesitated for a moment, but then decided to share your worries with him. "It's just work stuff, you know? Deadlines, presentations, and all that. It's like my mind won't stop racing, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it all."

Han listened attentively, his calming presence giving you the courage to open up. "I get it," he said empathetically. "But remember, you're capable of handling anything that comes your way. You've got the skills and the determination. Plus, you're not alone in this. I'm right here with you, and we'll figure it out together."

He gently squeezed your hand, and you couldn't help but smile. He always knew how to make you feel better. "You're right," you replied, feeling a sense of relief. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Jisung chuckled softly. "Well, lucky for you, you don't have to find out," he teased, trying to lighten the mood. "Now, how about we take a little break from all the work stuff and enjoy the rest of this sunny day? Maybe go for a walk in the park or watch a silly movie?"

His suggestion sounded perfect. You nodded enthusiastically, grateful for his ability to lift your spirits. "Yes, let's do that," you said, feeling your anxiety slowly starting to subside.

And so, you spent the rest of the day together, laughing, talking, and simply enjoying each other's company. With Jisung by your side, the world seemed a little less overwhelming.

𓆩♡𓆪 Lee Felix

It was a friday afternoon, and the world seemed to be bustling with life outside your window. But inside, your anxiety was reaching its peak. You had been feeling overwhelmed lately, juggling work, family, and personal issues all at once.

As you sat on the couch, your mind spinning with worry, your boyfriend, Felix, walked in with a big smile on his face. He could always tell when you needed his support, even without saying a word. "Hey, darling," he said, plopping down next to me. "What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"

You sighed, not knowing where to start, but Felix always had a way of making you feel safe and understood. "It's just...life, you know? Everything's happening all at once, and I can't seem to catch a break."

He wrapped his arm around you and pulled you close, giving you the warmth and comfort you needed. "It's okay to feel overwhelmed, you know? Life can be a rollercoaster sometimes, but we're in this together."

He grabbed his phone and said, "Let's do something that always helps you relax." He played some upbeat music and pulled you up from the couch. "Dance party in the living room!"

At first, you couldn't help but laugh at the unexpectedness of it all. But as the music filled the room, your worries started to fade away. You danced and laughed together, letting go of the stress that had been weighing you down.

After a while, you collapsed back onto the couch, breathless but with huge smiles on your faces. "You always know how to turn things around," you said, feeling incredibly grateful for him.

Yongbok gave you a soft kiss on the forehead. "You're my world, and seeing you happy is all that matters to me. Whenever life gets tough, remember I'm right here by your side."

And in that moment, surrounded by love and the feeling of being understood, your anxiety seemed to melt away. With Felix's support, you knew you could face anything that life threw your way.

It was one of those gloomy afternoons when the weight of your family issues seemed to crush your spirit. You sat on the couch, your mind swirling with anxious thoughts, when your boyfriend plopped down next to you, sensing that something was off.

He gently placed his arm around your shoulders and said, "Hey, what's eating you up, blossom? You've been quiet all day."

You sighed, "It's just... my family, you know? They always manage to get under my skin and make me doubt myself."

He gave me a reassuring smile, "I get it. Families can be crazy, but remember, you're not defined by them. You're amazing just the way you are."

You leaned into him, feeling a bit of comfort in his words. "Thanks, but sometimes it's hard to believe that."

He reached for your hand, his fingers interlocking with yours. "Look, I know they've got their quirks, but they don't get to decide your worth. You're strong, intelligent, and you've got so much potential."

Tears welled up in your eyes, but they were tears of relief. "You always know what to say, don't you?"

He chuckled, "Well, I try my best. But seriously, I've got your back. Whenever you're feeling overwhelmed, just talk to me. We'll figure it out together."

With his support, the knot of anxiety in your chest began to loosen. It was like a breath of fresh air amidst the chaos. You nestled closer to him, feeling grateful for having someone so understanding and caring in your life.

He kissed the top of your head and whispered, "You're not alone in this. I'm here for you, and we'll tackle those family troubles one step at a time."

As the rain poured outside, you found solace in the warmth of his embrace. With him by your side, you knew you could face anything that life and your family threw at you. His love was a shield against the storm of anxiety, and you were truly lucky to have him.

You're standing in the middle of a bustling coffee shop, surrounded by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the chatter of people catching up. Your friends are chatting excitedly at a table nearby, but you can't shake off the feeling of anxiety creeping up on you. The noise and crowd seem overwhelming, making you feel a bit out of place.

Just as you start to fidget with your hands, your boyfriend notices your unease. With a warm smile, he comes up behind you and gently places his hands on your shoulders. "Hey, you doing okay?" he asks, his voice full of concern.

You nod, trying to hide your nervousness, but he knows you too well. "Come on," he suggests, "let's grab some fresh air outside."

You follow him, feeling the relief of the cool breeze against your skin as you step out onto the street. He takes your hand in his, intertwining his fingers with yours. "I get it," he says, "sometimes it's tough being around a big group. But remember, you don't have to be anyone else around them. Just be yourself, and they'll love you for who you are."

His reassuring words and the warmth of his hand help ease your worries. "I know it's easier said than done," he continues, "but don't let your anxiety control you. You're strong, and I believe in you."

You take a deep breath, feeling more grounded with each word he speaks. His presence alone makes you feel safe and supported. "Thanks," you say softly, "I really needed this."

He smiles and pulls you into a gentle hug. "Anytime," he says, "I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

As you both head back into the coffee shop, you feel a newfound sense of confidence.

5 Facts About Me

Tagged by @arcandoria !

These posts are always so funny because as soon as I’m asked to talk about myself suddenly I’m the most boring person ever

1. I took 5 years of Japanese Language Studies in college! I used to be able to speak conversationally and volunteered as a translator in the press-lounge at Anime Expo in LA quite a few years ago! Now, I’ve forgotten most of it because I don’t use it anymore... it’s such a sad feeling.

2. I’m flexitarian / pescatarian! I don’t eat pork or beef, and absolutely love seafood especially shellfish. Food is a big part of my life and I love to cook and the appeal of traveling for me is trying out new foods and food experiences. I will try everything at least once.

3. Rollercoaster/themepark enthusiast too! Aside from food, the real reason I travel is to go to different themeparks and ride every coaster I can. I just love SPEED and feeling things humans were never meant to physically experience safely. My #1 coaster is Velocicoaster, my #2 is Copperhead Strike, and my #3 is either El Toro or Twisted Timbers.

4. I play entirely too much Pathfinder (aside from the Owlcat games). I GM 3 games and play in 2. It’s a lot of work but it’s fulfilling! I love creating unique experiences catered especially for my players.

5. I have done over twenty escape rooms and have never failed one. I’m at the point where I’m afraid to do any more of them because I don’t want to break my streak...

Always Loyal

TEN minutes later found the entire group huddled on a ledge as they eyed multiple large, beehive shaped mounds, mounds so tall that they nearly reached the 70-some foot high ceilings in this cursed cavern. 

Jason and Salim kneeled in front of Sarah, who stood some ways behind them, leaning solely on her good leg as she gave her other one a rest. She was scared—too scared to lift up her pant leg and look down at it—and was currently thanking her lucky stars that Jason’s eyes were…preoccupied earlier when her pants were off, and that her leg was bandaged the fuck up. She didn’t want him to see how bad it was, either. 

“Are you seein’ what I’m seein’?” Jason asked ominously, his brown eyes swirling with fear as he investigated their surroundings.

“Those mounds are made of cocoons,” Salim agreed, his eyes wide and his throat sounding clenched and dry from pure anxiety. “Thousands of them. If we set the charges there, they’ll all burn.”

Sarah watched as Salim lowered his binoculars and Jason nodded, the two men sharing a solemn look as Salim passed them over to her boyfriend. Jason took them eagerly and intensely, and Sarah’s heart filled with warmth and affection as she watched her boyfriend inspect the cocoons, his stance protective and commanding. 

He, without even realizing it himself, was the true leader of this group. And everyone else fucking knew it, too. 

Sarah allowed the warm, fuzzy feelings to invade her senses for as long as humanly possible before the anxiety set back in; her leg was beginning to prickle with little bouts of pain again, and she knew that it wouldn’t be long before the medications wore off and the adrenaline of the situation faded, leaving her to deal with the true severity of her injury.

“Shit!” Jason called out, and Sarah jumped out of her melancholic line of thinking, immediately beginning to panic when she saw Jason’s back go completely rigid. “They’re hatchin’!” 

He turned back around to Sarah and stared at her with big, fearful eyes. Sarah could tell that he was trying to be tough, trying to seem strong for her, but she could see right through his facade to his quivering lip and his impassioned eyes. She burst towards him and fell to her knees, grasping his hand as the two of them shared a calming, balanced gaze.

I believe in you, Jason, she tried to tell him with only a stare, adding a slight nod and a peaceful smile. I believe in you.

Whether he got the unspoken message or not, Sarah couldn’t be sure; but Jason suddenly furrowed his eyebrows with determined ferocity, turning away from Sarah to face the rest of their ragtag, exhausted group. 

“Okay, listen up!” Jason ordered assertively, and everybody instantly snapped to attention, looking up to him with hopeful, determined looks on their faces as they listened, enraptured by his every word. “We’ve been hit hard tonight. We’ve lost brothers. But now? It’s time to get some payback!”

Salim nodded enthusiastically next to Jason, as the rest of the group followed suit, Sarah smiling encouragingly at him as she felt the pride and love in her chest bloom as she watched Jason do what Jason had always done best, since the moment she had met him. Be a leader.

“We plant charges on as many of those clusters as possible and then detonate them remotely.” Jason illustrated his plan with hand movements and a focused, resolved stare. “The second those charges go off, we haul ass to the exit. If luck is on our side, we’ll do more than fry a few vampires; we’ll create a diversion.”

Rachel nodded, the look in her eyes absolutely feral and impoverished. “If we die here, at least we’ll take some of those bastards down with us.”

Sarah held in a sharp breath, her panic beginning to rise the longer she stared down at the cocoons in front of them. She had full faith in Jason and in his plans, but she would be lying if she said she wasn’t nervous as hell that things weren’t going to be as easy as they sounded. 

She watched Jason hand the binoculars back to Salim, who took them gingerly and nervously, with an anxious frown painted onto his face.

“Okay…” Salim responded hesitantly, looking around at the five Americans who were surrounding him. “Who’s going to place the dynamite?” 

The silence following Salim’s necessary question was deafening, and Sarah knew that if somebody didn’t pipe up soon, Jason would likely volunteer to go down and do it himself. 

She’d be damned if she let that happen, and she’d throw her own damn self down there, shit leg and all, without any knowledge of setting charges before she let him do it. Sarah turned to glare at Rachel and Eric—surely one of them could step up, instead, this time—but both were avoiding her expectant gaze.

Luckily, she didn’t have to fight Jason—or anybody else—to get him to stay up with her where it was safer, because Nick piped up almost immediately. 

“Alright, fuck it!” He spoke out loudly, courageously. “I’ll do it.” Sarah let out a breath of relief quietly, the pain in her chest alleviating almost immediately—unaware that she’d been frightened enough that she’d given herself chest pains. Sarah’s concern was further alleviated when she saw Jason nodding in agreement, until she realized that that wasn’t what he was doing after all.

“You’re crazy,” Jason hissed back at his best friend through gritted teeth. “We’ll do it together.” Sarah immediately opened her mouth to protest—she was willing to say or do literally anything to keep Jason close, in sight and reach of her—but she didn’t have to. 

“Nah, the more of us down there, the more chances we’ll get seen,” Nick argued back and Sarah held her breath, praying to every single God and Diety that she had ever heard of that Jason would listen to Nick’s logic. 

She was worried about Nick, sure, and she would be absolutely overjoyed for them to find a safer option—or even for somebody else to go with Nick—but not Jason. There was no fucking way she was going to allow that, in any way, to happen. She was not going to lose him. Not after they’d come this far, not after she’d finally found him. Under no fucking circumstances was she going to allow that to occur.

Nick, luckily, didn’t even leave any room for arguments. “Take the detonator. If I don’t make it—”

“Nick!” Jason interrupted, and Sarah could see the fear in his eyes for his best and closest friend. 

“Hear me out!” Nick interrupted with a shake of his head, holding his hand out to stop Jason from speaking. “If I don’t make it, I want you to blow those charges. Just don’t go getting trigger happy on me.” 

Sarah’s eyes went wide at his request, and her head whipped back down to the cocoons nervously. Sure, she had no desire for Jason to go down there and play the hero—again—but there was no way in hell that she wanted Nick to sacrifice himself, either. She may not have known him very well at all, but he was Jason’s best friend for a reason; and he didn’t deserve to die.

Jason’s face was hard and set, his eyes narrowed and jaw clenched, emotional. “Every step of the way, you keep in radio contact,” Jason hissed through his gritted teeth, and Sarah could see how anxious he was about the situation. His body was rigid and stiff, his hands clenching onto his gun so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. He didn’t like this situation—not one bit—and part of Sarah wondered if he would’ve volunteered to go down with him if she weren’t here at all.

“And if there’s no radio signal?” Salim asked, and Sarah held her breath, eyeing Eric and Rachel whispering to each other out of the corner of her eye. Neither of them seemed to have any objections to Nick laying the charges on his own—and while Eric technically didn’t know him very well, either, she at least expected Rachel to care a little bit more about his safety.

“Then I’ll pop a flare,” Nick answered, and Sarah had to admit to herself that at first glance, she’d just thought he was a naive, young man who only cared about his ongoing affair with her sister-in-law. Now, she didn’t feel that way at all; he was brave, thoughtful, and smart. “You see it go up, you hit that detonator.”

“I don’t like this,” Sarah immediately interjected, knowing that she didn’t really have much of a say in the matter, anyway. “You shouldn’t go alone—if you get injured and can’t make it back up, I don’t have enough medical supplies to help you. Someone should go with you, watch your back—”

“No, Sarah, it’s like he said before,” Eric jumped in finally, shaking his head sternly at his younger sister. “The more of us down there, the more likely we’ll be spotted.”

“And besides, he needs eyes watching from up here,” Rachel chimed in, glaring down at Sarah as she scrutinized her judgmentally. “Unless you think you could go down there and do what needs to be done.”

“Absolutely fucking not,” Jason protested, just before Sarah had a chance to retort. “Sarah’s injured, Rachel, you know that—and baby, while I hear and agree with you, it’s Nick’s decision now.” Jason pressed a kiss to Sarah’s hand before turning back to his best friend with a nod. “Be quick and be safe, you hear me buddy?”

“Hey, Nick,” Eric suddenly called out, pulling the UV light out of his belt holster and handing it over. “You’ll need this.” 

Sarah smiled brightly at her brother and he smiled back—something shifting in between the two of them that felt a lot like healing.

“Hell yeah,” Nick agreed, and even he smiled down at Eric. “Thanks Colonel.”

Maybe it was a Marine thing, but Sarah couldn’t believe how nonchalant everyone was being about this; Nick could die down there, and they could never see him again. Is this how they lived life every day out here, in a war?

If they did, it was fucking terrifying, and a slap in the face as to the reality of being a soldier on either side.

“Wait, Nick—wait!” Sarah called out, running quietly over to her new friend as she threw her arms around him, hugging him around the waist tightly. Nick was stunned, and he looked over to Jason with a shocked, what-the-fuck-do-I-do look on his face.

Jason just smirked back at him and shrugged, grinning as his girlfriend pulled away from his best friend with a determined stare. 

“Come back, please,” she whispered, so quietly so that her boyfriend wouldn’t hear her, pushing the tears back from her eyes. “Jason really needs you to come back, okay? I think he’d like it if you came back and we could be friends.”

Nick grinned down at Sarah then and returned her hug, ruffling her hair much like an older brother would to a younger sister. 

“You take care of him,” Nick whispered back and Sarah nodded against him before he pulled away. “Until I get back.” 

Sarah continued nodding as he walked away, returning to her spot over by Jason, who eyed her suspiciously with a frown on his face. 

“Babe,” he pouted, looking back at her face like a little kid who didn’t get to sit at the adult table. “What was that about?”

“Nothing,” Sarah lied, pressing a kiss to his forehead as she kneeled down next to him and Salim, watching Nick make his way down from slightly behind him. Jason’s frown deepened and Sarah sighed, shaking her head with a grin on her face. “Fine; you, a little bit. We made a deal.”

“Well if it’s about me then why can’t I know the deal?!”

“We should focus,” Sarah chastised him and Jason’s jaw dropped, offended. “After Nick is back, safe and alive, we’ll let you in on the deal. Okay?”

Jason huffed back at her, turning his attention back to Nick through the scope of his gun while Salim checked things out with his binoculars. It was several minutes before anybody said anything, and Sarah became incredibly uncomfortable with waiting so long to hear if Nick was alright. 

“Do you see anything?” Sarah anxiously prompted Salim after what felt like hours of tense silence. Her knee was bouncing up and down nervously, but neither man seemed to notice or care, likely on edge themselves. 

“I…can’t make it out,” Salim responded uncomfortably, but didn’t pull away from the binoculars. “There! There’s one ahead of him! To his left!” 

“Nick, the cocoons are hatchin’ ahead of you!” Jason immediately radioed in, and Sarah could hear the desperation that he was feeling for Nick in his voice. “You’ve gotta move fast!” 

“The first dynamite is down; over.” Nick’s voice rang out through the radio in a hushed yet confident whisper in response. “Which way?! Left or right?”

“Right!” Jason answered almost immediately, and Sarah noticed that he was bouncing his leg up and down now, too. When Nick failed to go as fast as he wanted, Sarah watched as Jason only got angstier. “Move!” 

Sarah couldn’t hear Nick at all, but she could see his tiny form moving from a couple of different cocoons and placing bombs, holding her breath when he had to hide in between some as a couple of vampires stalked his way. She could feel Jason getting more and more anxious as he watched his friend with no word through the radio, could see his fingers straining under the pressure of his grip on it.

“It’s gettin’ kinda hairy down there, brother,” Jason finally called out through the radio, jaw clenched and having a hard time steadying his shaky hand. “Why don’t you ditch the rest of those charges and head back?” 

“Look at that, man,” Nick instantly argued back, his voice sounding unsure as it reached the five of them. “It’s the motherlode.” He wasn’t wrong—even Sarah could see that—but Jason’s hand clenched the radio tighter as he let out a string of cuss words.

“It’s too far!” Jason hollered back, and Sarah was sure that if he grit his teeth any harder, they’d snap right off. 

Nick’s response was immediate, but it was calm. “I’m going for it,” he insisted, and Sarah watched as he ran ahead to the largest, main mound of cocoons, vampires obliviously flying overhead, with more and more of them beginning to hatch. 

“Oh no, oh no…” Salim suddenly muttered, his hands now suddenly clutching the binoculars just as tightly as Jason’s were clutching his gun and his radio. Salim’s uneasiness did absolutely nothing to calm either Sarah’s or Jason’s nerves, and the latter’s eyes widened as big as saucers, never tearing them away from the mounds.

“What is it?!” Jason probed, distressed. When Salim took too long to answer—Sarah watched him physically gather the courage to say the words that she knew he was about to say—Jason looked over at him worriedly.

“There are too many,” Salim informed him, and Sarah could tell by his tone that he was aware of how this would affect his new friends. “He’s a dead man.” Jason ripped the binoculars from Salim’s hands to see for himself, taking only a second to look as he saw the multitude of vampires flying ahead of the mound. 

“Sweet baby Jesus,” Jason exclaimed, quickly handing Salim back his binoculars and clicking his radio on to warn their friend. 

“WAIT!” Salim interrupted, holding his hand out to stop Jason from using the radio. “What will warning him do now?! There is no way out!” 

As if fate were taunting them, Nick’s voice came bursting through the radio. “Hey, how’s it looking up there?” 

All five of them held their breath, and Sarah could see the gears turning in Salim’s head as Jason stared over at him anxiously, waiting for him to make the call.

Wow, Sarah thought to herself, raising an eyebrow at the interaction. He must really trust Salim to let him make the call here.

After a moment, Salim sighed, shaking his head as he took pity on Nick. “Tell him.”

Jason didn’t waste a single fucking second, rushing over to pick up his radio and warn his best friend of the impending danger that was upon him. 

“They’re all over you, man!” Jason’s voice was wavering as he alerted him, his hands carrying a slight tremor, too. “Hundreds of ‘em.” Sarah laid her hand over Jason’s, which was still clutching the radio, and he flipped it over, taking her hand in his and drawing out every single ounce of comfort that she could give him. 

Nick’s voice took a minute to come through, but when it did, Sarah’s heart broke. “‘Least you’ve got the balls to tell me the truth,” he responded, and everyone could hear the tears in his voice, sticking to the walls of his throat.

Jason released her hand then, flipping his radio back on with a choked breath, revealing to everyone around him that he was crying. 

“I’m sorry Nicky,” Jason apologized through his tears, and Sarah clutched his shoulder, closing her eyes to her own tears as Jason’s head fell onto the lifeline that her hand had become for him. “For this. For what happened at that checkpoint.” 

Jason was concealing his eyes with his hat with his head hung down low, to save himself from some embarrassment, likely; but everyone knew why, and nobody cared. Sarah could feel his tears on her hand and she wiped them with her thumb, allowing him to use her as his emotional human shield for as long as he needed her to be one. 

“It’s a war, Jason,” Nick responded, sounding oddly confident. Resolute. Like he knew what was going to happen and had accepted his fate. “Bad shit happens. Kay, out.”

At Nick’s last words, Jason let out a strangled gasp before wiping the tears immediately from his eyes, pulling himself together, and staring blankly down at the mounds of cocoons that still stood in front of them. 

Sarah rushed to her feet, standing up and readying herself to run. She knew, with the state that her leg was in, that she’d all of the headstarts in the world.

 There was a long, harrowing moment of silence as they waited for a word on Nick, nobody entirely certain if he were even still alive, but everyone certain that if he were, he wouldn’t be for much longer. 

When Nick’s voice did come through again, it was only to say, “Charges in place.” 

Sarah let out a breath that she didn’t even know she was holding, her eyes watching Jason’s shaking hands as he held the detonator close by. It was mere seconds later that they saw Nick’s flare go up, and Sarah knew, in that moment, that they had no other option. 

Sarah heard Jason’s sharp intake of breath before she heard the clink of the detonator, tears falling down her face before she even had a chance to process the explosions that were suddenly booming all over the mounds. The tall, mountain-like structures that she had previously seen were now on fire, and quickly going up in smoke.

Jason rose to his feet, followed by the rest of the group, and he didn’t hesitate before taking Sarah’s hand in his again and pulling her closer to him; as if he’d just realized that he could lose her down here—and that he couldn’t lose her down here. 

Everybody seemed to realize that they really needed to get the fuck out of there—and everyone also seemed to realize that there was no fucking way they would try and get out of there until they were certain that Nick hadn’t survived. 

The five of them stood in tense silence before Rachel clicked on her radio, her teeth gritted and fresh tears staining her face, making the blood she was covered in run down her cheeks in dirty streaks. 

“Nick!” She screeched, the pain and anguish in her voice making Sarah wince with pinched agony. “Answer me dammit!!” 

Explosions continued to ring throughout the cocoons, and Jason’s hand tensed in Sarah’s, his legs fidgeting as he watched with an eagle eye for any sign of his best friend. 

“C’mon buddy, let me hear your voice!” Jason pleaded, and Salim lifted the binoculars back to his eyes, doing anything and everything that he could do for his newfound friends. 

Jason waited for several long moments before he wiped the sweat from his brow and the tears from under his eyes. He turned to Rachel then, reaching a hand out and letting it linger in the air as he contemplated clapping it on her shoulder before he instantly dropped it, apparently thinking better of it.

“I’m sorry.” Jason’s apology came out in his own, choked sob. He glanced one more time towards the fiery cocoons, grabbing Sarah’s hand and pulling her away, knowing that now he had to choose her and choose her wholeheartedly. There would be time to grieve and to fall apart later. 

Sarah followed after Jason, their hands falling from each other as they both clenched tightly onto their guns and started walking away, each step feeling a little bit harder and a lot more painful than the first. Rachel and Eric lagged behind the trio, and Sarah could distantly hear Eric whispering something to Rachel comfortingly, but she couldn’t find the strength to turn back around and look at the fires that Nick had started to save them. 

It wasn’t until Sarah heard Rachel’s hopeful: “Is it Nick?!,” that the three of them walking ahead whipped back around fast, Jason practically tripping over his own two feet to hear just what the hell was going on.

“He’s alive!” Eric immediately confirmed, a smile lighting up his face as he realized that he hadn’t lost another of his men after all. 

“Oh my gosh,” Sarah uttered bravely, her hands flying up to her mouth and her body heaving with unspoken sobs as she hurried over to her brother, standing slightly beside Jason with a hand clenching the back of his shirt eagerly. “Is he—are you—?!”

“Nick!” Eric called out into the radio, and every single one of them was buzzing with hopeful anticipation. “Confirm your position!” 

“I’m two hundred metres from the door.” Nick’s voice was raspy, but there he was. He was still here, he was still down there, alive. “...bearing three twenty but I’m—I’m injured. I need help.” 

Sarah could hardly believe it, but there it was: Nick’s strangled but very much so alive voice, ringing straight through her brother’s radio. Jason let out a smothered sob, pushing his mouth into his elbow before whipping his own radio out and pressing the button as frantically as he could. 

“Hang tight, Sergeant!” Jason ordered eagerly, already pulling Sarah behind him with one hand so she couldn’t get lost along the way. “We’re on our way!” 

All five of them ran like hell itself was after them to rescue Nick, hopping down ledges that Sarah was sure would be painful if the adrenaline within her wasn’t so fucking strong. Salim reached Nick first—being the fastest of the group— and Sarah heard him let out his own string of what she assumed were cuss words when he arrived. 

Sarah gasped, too, when she saw the manlike vampire—the one that had fucked up her leg—holding Nick up by his neck, mere seconds away from strangling him straight to death. 

Salim plunged his metal pipe quick and hard through the vampire’s chest, and Sarah watched as he dropped Nick, falling to his knees and then to his stomach as the life—or whatever the fuck you wanted to call it—snuffed out of him completely. 

Nick huffed and heaved as he struggled to re-catch his breath as Jason hurried over to him, eyeing the vampire warily on the off chance that it wasn’t actually dead. Jason grabbed his friend by the shoulder and helped him get to his feet,  puffing out a small but assuring, “I got you!” before releasing him. 

Nobody said so much as a single word before Jason grabbed Sarah’s hand sharply and pulled her forcefully behind him, hell-bent on not losing her in the chaos that they were certain was about to unfold before them. “MOVE OUT!” He yelled, and Sarah didn’t even have the time to admire how good of a leader her boyfriend was, but if she did, it would have been affecting her in very embarrassing ways.

Jason let go of Sarah’s hand long enough to hoist her up a ledge, knowing even in the thick of danger and mind-boggling stress, that she was still injured and that he needed to be there with her every step of the way if they had even the slightest prayer of making it out of this. 

Sarah ran as fast as she could physically run after Jason, his hand intertwined in hers once again so that he couldn’t lose her. She worried that she was slowing him down; vampires began popping up and in front of each of them, out of nowhere and from everywhere, and Sarah was beginning to feel a panic attack brewing beneath her veins.

So close, she thought to herself, seeing the exit towards the elevator so much closer than before. So close and yet so fucking far away, still. 

“Those charges were a Godsend!” Jason cried out as they continued to run, both of them taking a tiny moment to watch the green, alien hues turn red with fire and smoke and ash. “Feels like this whole fuckin’ place is comin’ down!” 

It wasn’t until Jason had heaved her up another ledge, crawling up next to her himself, that Sarah realized that there were only five of them when there should have been six.

“Where the fuck is Salim?!” Jason called out loud, his head whipping around and eyes scouring the vast expanse of land that they’d just made amazing headway on, in the hopes of spotting their friend. No one seemed to have any answer for him, but they all started examining the land too, with Sarah and Jason unknowingly looking just a little bit harder than everybody else was. 

“There’s Salim!” Jason suddenly called out, pointing out the man who had saved Sarah’s life just hours earlier, far away, but alive and cowering under a metal structure as vampires stalked the area around him, looking vigilantly for the one that they’d accidentally left behind. “He’s still alive!”

Sarah muttered her own string of cuss words, then—it seemed to be the night for them—and watched as Jason whipped out his radio to get in contact with their lost friend. “Salim! Come in, man. Are you there?”

They didn’t have to wait very long for Salim to respond, and when he did, his voice came out in a rushed, terrified whisper.

“I am surrounded,” he informed them, and Sarah’s hands started shaking as she heard his words. “I’m in real trouble here. Vampires…so many vampires…” Sarah held in a breath as she looked to Jason, who seemed to have trouble meeting her eyes. His own eyes were filled with fear and his head was shaking back and forth, as if he couldn’t believe what was happening and honestly had no idea what to do about it. 

Nick seemed to sense this internal struggle as well, and stepped closer to his best friend, attempting to not be overheard by Sarah.

“What’s there to think about?!” He asked with a hiss, his eyes hard and set with his decision. “We go back down there, we die with him!” 

“No!” Sarah cried out, anger boiling within her as she heard Nick’s words. She snarled, successfully gaining both men’s attention, and glared Nick down as hard and as fiercely as she could. “He didn’t have to come back down to get you Nick, but he did; and if he hadn’t you might even be dead right now!” 

Nick said nothing at all; the only indication that he even heard Sarah were his eyes, sliding guiltily away from her glare. Jason’s face was still fixed ahead of him, torn, as he waited for the right thing to do to smack him square in the face. 

“He’s a dead man!” Eric chimed in before Sarah could plead with Nick to reconsider, although she had the words ready at the tip of her tongue and the edges of her lips. “We need to go!” 

The two men began walking away, but Sarah stood firm with Jason, ready herself to run back into the line of fire to save the man who had saved her. Eric didn’t get very far when he realized that they weren’t following, and he turned back around, angst written all over his face when it hit him that his sister wouldn’t take orders from him anymore.

She really only trusted one man—and it was Jason now.

“That man is not one of us!” Eric reminded them and Sarah whirled around on him, a sneer on her face as she stood ready to beat the shit out of her brother if he tried to stop her from helping Salim—even despite what choice Jason ultimately would make. 

Eric grabbed her arm and she squealed, squirming viciously to break free, and using a trick she had often used as kids when they wrestled: her viciously pointed elbows to his ribcage. Eric harrumphed as she hit her target, breaking free, and whirled back around on him to give her brother a real piece of her mind. 

“You’re wrong!” Jason’s words came out strong and certain, causing both Sarah and Eric to startle, each of them turning around to face him as he stood strong, watching Salim from a distance. “Salim is one of us now! Marines don’t leave their own behind!” 

Sarah grinned and let out a triumphant little laugh at Jason’s words, throwing her arms around his waist victoriously as relief settled over her system at his words, so fucking grateful that he’d changed so damn much, that this is what he chose. 

He was the bravest man she’d ever met—and fuck it all to hell, she loved him. 

“You hearin’ me, Salim?!” Jason spoke into the radio fiercely, confidently. 

“If I don’t make it out, tell my son I did everything I could,” Salim answered, and Sarah’s heart started to beat even faster, her mind prepping her legs to ready themselves to run, her fingers itching to shoot her way through every motherfucking vampire in their way. 

“Tell him yourself,” Jason interrupted, shaking his head with a grin on his own face, determination working its way through his body. “I’m comin’ to get you.”

 Jason turned around instantly to Sarah then, pulling her in by the waist as he pressed his lips to hers, hard, his hand gripping the back of her hair as he kissed her—like it might be the last time that he ever got to.

When he pulled away, Sarah grinned at him, gripping her gun tightly and nodding determinedly over at him. “I knew you’d say that,” she assured him, watching his smile spread across his face as he recognized just how proud of him Sarah was. She pulled out of his embrace and stretched out her leg, eyes locking with Jason’s confidently. “Let’s go save our friend, baby!”

“Sarah.” Jason’s voice was suddenly tight and somber, and she looked back over at him, cocking her head in confusion as she watched his face change from confident to sad. “Baby girl, you ain’t comin’.”

“I—what?!” Sarah cried out, lowering her gun slightly so that she could face him safely. “What the fuck do you mean I’m not coming?! Of course I’m fucking coming, Jason! There’s no way in the fucking world that I’m gonna let you throw yourself back into danger without me—”

“Eric,” Jason called back to her brother, and Sarah’s jaw dropped at how nonchalantly and casually he had ignored her pleas. The two men stared at each other for a long moment, a split second of understanding passing between the two of them as they did so. “Do the right thing this time, alright?” 

“What?!” Sarah cried out again when Eric’s—and Nick’s—arms went around her arms, holding her back as Jason pressed another repentant kiss to her head, his eyes screaming a thousand apologies, before he took off after Salim, leaving her behind in the care of her brother and his best friend. 

“NO!” Sarah hollered out, tears streaming down her face and her chest puffing in and out violently in a panic attack. Her legs went limp from under her as she watched Jason’s form become tinier and tinier as he left her behind. Eric and Nick dragged her towards the elevator, to safety, as she literally kicked, bucked, and screamed against them to get away—to get to Jason immediately. 

She needed to help him, she needed to be there with him, to watch his back, to save his life, to do whatever the fuck that she could to ensure that he made it back up to the top, hand-in-hand with her. 

Eric and Nick dragged Sarah into the elevator, Rachel’s eyes wide and confused as she awaited for them to approach, hand on the lever and ready to bolster them up and away from this green hell. Sarah fought with every ounce of energy she had left, but it was useless; the men weren’t letting up on her, and she couldn’t even see the ledge anymore. Jason was gone.

Sarah quit her fighting and sobbed, flinging herself into the waiting arms of her brother, who held her tight and stroked her hair as he shushed her comfortingly. Just like he used to do when they were little; whenever she was sad or bullied or just needed to know that he was there for her.

“He’s going to come back,” Eric reassured her, and Sarah forced herself to believe it, clutching onto her brother’s arms as she turned herself around, watching eagerly at the elevator’s opening for Jason to run back into her waiting arms. Nick and Rachel had their guns drawn, waiting for friend or foe to show their faces. “He’s tough as shit, Sarah; he’s going to run down that stretch of land any moment, alright? I promise. You know me, sis; I don’t make promises I can’t keep. Right?”

Sarah nodded absentmindedly against her brother, who held her back tightly to his chest as they watched and waited on baited breath, waiting for Jason to turn the corner and come back to her. Five minutes passed—then ten—and Sarah stood up and ran towards the entrance again, standing in between Rachel and Nick, her gun forgotten in the elevator. 

They heard the screeching of the vampires getting closer, and still—no sign of Jason. No sign of Salim, either, but all Sarah wanted to see right now was that stupid gray ballcap attached to her favorite person in the entire fucking world.

“Eric, this is taking way too long,” Rachel decided, lowering her gun and turning around to face her husband. “If we want a chance of making it out of here, we have to go. Now. Grab Sarah—I’m starting up the elevator.”

“NO!” The protest ripped its way out of Sarah’s throat painfully and she—with a strength that she honest to God had no idea that she possessed—grabbed Rachel by the shirt and threw her up against a cave wall, hard, a steely, enraged look on her face and her suddenly crazy eyes. “Nobody touches that fucking thing. Not until Jason is back—understand?!”

Rachel pushed Sarah off of her quite successfully and she stumbled on her bad leg, feeling Nick’s arms catch her under the armpits before she could hit the ground.

“Fuck, Rachel, are you crazy?!” Nick chastised, hoisting Sarah back onto her feet and dusting her off. “She’s fuckin’ injured, dude—!”

“Jason is not coming back!” Rachel yelled at Sarah, and Sarah felt her face prickle with dread before her entire body became consumed by it. “He made his choice—he went back there for that guy with all of those fucking things flying around—and the chances of him surviving that are very, very slim to none. Okay?”

“Rachel!” Eric called out, eyes wide and jaw dropped in shock.

“What?!” Rachel hollered back at him. “She needs to hear the truth and we need to go—now!” Rachel grabbed Sarah by the arm again, and this time, Sarah was too weak to fight back, the full weight of Rachel’s words falling down over her body. She could hear vampires close by too—she knew that they didn’t have much time—and she didn’t have anything left in here. Nothing left to fight anymore.

“SARAH!” 

Sarah shrieked as soon as she heard the voice—his voice, Jason’s voice—and she pulled immediately out of Rachel’s grasp, whipping around to see first Salim, and then that ballcap that she didn’t knew she loved so much—attached to the man that she loved even more. Jason. Alive, intact, and running full speed at the elevator, just as Sarah ran full speed at him. 

Jason grinned at her as soon as he saw her face and she jumped forcefully into his arms, her arms winding around his neck as his own wound around her waist, his lips connecting with hers in a deep, passionate kiss that held a million apologies and a million more feelings of total and utter relief that they hadn’t lost each other. 

Jason is alive, Sarah’s entire body was weeping with joy as Jason pulled away from their kiss, his dimples shining as he laid his forehead on hers, smiling down at her face, the biggest and brightest smile that she’d ever fucking seen him wear. 

“Fuck you!” Sarah suddenly hollered at him, pulling slightly away to pound her fists tightly against his chest as she took her anger out on her boyfriend. “I can’t believe you just did that—do you know how fucking scared I was, Jason?! Fuck, I thought that you—I thought that you were—”

“Shh, shh, shh,” Jason hushed her, pressing a firm, heartfelt kiss to the top of her hand. “I know baby, I know, but you’re injured; and I ain’t ever gonna risk your life, and I’m sure as hell not gonna apologize for it,” Jason growled back at her, pulling her back into a tight hug. “Be fuckin’ pissed at me later, be whatever the fuck you want with me baby girl, but now? We gotta go.”

 Jason whispered apologies to her as he pulled out of their embrace, grabbing her by the hand as he rushed her over to the elevator, dodging and ducking as their friends shot at the vampires that were close behind them. Sarah was so pissed—so fucking pissed at him—and so relieved that he was alive to know it, too. 

They rushed themselves into the elevator, Jason throwing the lever down and making the damn thing go up as all six of them fell against a wall, breathing heavily and attempting to regulate it. Jason hurried to Sarah’s side, both of them feeling how lucky they were to still be here with one another, safe, alive, together. He threw an arm around her waist and pulled her into him, tilting her chin up with his pointer finger as he kissed her tenderly, wiping the tears from her eyes when he pulled away.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered gently and softly, cupping her cheek in his hand as he kissed her forehead again. “I won’t ever scare you like that again; I promise.”

“You better not,” Sarah whispered back, rubbing her face against his chest and closing her eyes, inhaling his scent and slowing her pounding heart down as she reminded herself over and over again that this was real, that Jason was really here holding her, and that he was still alive. 

Nick laughed then, and Sarah pulled away from her boyfriend, wiping at her own teary eyes as the two men bumped fists. “Takes more than a few bats to kill you,” Nick teased and Jason nodded solemnly, before letting a boyish grin overtake his face. 

“Oh man,” Jason huffed out, a tiny whistle exiting from the air in between his teeth. “That was un-fucking-believable! Those things were all over us, but me and Salim busted through ‘em like it was the last down of the damn superbowl!” The two men were chuckling like they had just won a fucking sporting event, not just fought a bunch of monsters that were anxiously waiting to kill them!

Sarah stared at Jason—eyes wide and shocked—as she shook her head incredulously at his words. Men—in every era and in every dimension—men would always be fucking weird. 

Jason sobered up quickly at her expression, and, seeing that nobody else seemed to want to do it, once again took the reigns and responsibility of being the leader.

“Listen up!” He called, handing Sarah her gun with a wink and turning to their friends. “We’re not out of the woods yet; but what I see in front of me? You’re the best—fuck that—the best of the best! And we will get home!” Jason turned back to her, then, pressing a sharp, quick kiss to her forehead before turning his gaze back to the other men in the group.

“OORAH!” Jason, Nick, and Eric all chimed out, fists pumped into the air, and all at the same time as if they could somehow communicate when to chant telepathically. Sarah jumped and Rachel rolled her eyes, but Salim began to laugh, looking at Jason curiously before Jason nodded his head in confirmation.

“Oorah?” Salim repeated, and Jason chuckled, ruffling Sarah’s hair as he nodded once again to Salim, the fondness for his new friend evident in his eyes. Salim then began to laugh loudly, and a little crazily as he shouted, “OORAH!”, gaining more than a couple of laughs amongst the group. 

Everyone seemed to sober up as the elevator reached the top, and Sarah reminded herself to put on her game face, ignore whatever shit her leg may throw her way, and run as fast as she fucking possibly could. 

After this, I’m fucking working out again, she chastised herself, following Jason and Rachel out of the elevator. She was right on Jason’s heels, and she could tell that he could have been running a whole hell of a lot faster if he weren’t waiting for her at every turn—a fact she’d continue to kick herself about until they were out, safely in the sunlight once again. 

 Sarah screeched loudly as Jason grabbed her elbow, pulling her out of the way of a stray boulder, and they continued running forward, unsure of where exactly they needed to head. 

They found themselves at a set of ropes—the ones Sarah had rappelled down with Jason and Salim earlier—as rocks began to fall and the waterfall they’d seen earlier was suddenly crazily spouting off the liquid to and fro. 

“This way!” Rachel suddenly called out, gesturing for the group to take a really sharp left. “Hurry!” They didn’t waste any time as Salim and Nick headed up the ropes first, Jason turning around to Sarah and pulling her close to him.

“Eric, I need to head up the ropes next so that I can pull Sarah the rest of the way up,” Jason insisted, seemingly having thought about this well in advance. Eric nodded, agreeing with his decision, as his frantic eyes looked between his sister and his subordinate. “You come right behind her and make sure she makes it up okay—alright?”

“Yeah,” Eric agreed, nodding weakly.

“Colonel!” Jason suddenly yelled, and Sarah jumped, turning back to her boyfriend’s face. His eyes were wide, his jaw clenched, and he looked back and forth from the ropes, back to Eric, then back again to Sarah. Eric jumped too, pinning his full attention on Jason with wide eyes. Jason stalked closer to him, a stern finger pointed at his nose as he said in a low, demanding voice, “I need this girl to make it up, Colonel—can I count on you?”

“Absolutely,” Eric assured Jason, nodding firmly and pulling Sarah over to him as he gestured towards the ropes. “I’ve got her, Lieutenant; and you need to climb up, now!”

Jason turned to Sarah then, and with a nod, said, “I’ll see you at the top, baby; I’ll be there to pull you up, alright?” Sarah nodded nervously back as Jason took another stolen moment to kiss her, the hecticness of the situation and their being split apart apparently having affected him. 

Sarah was utterly terrified and apprehensive of Jason leaving her down here, again; even though she knew, without an ounce of doubt in her body, that Jason meant what he said and that she could count on him. He’d always protect her. He’d always take care of her needs first. And she trusted that he truly thought that this would be the best plan. 

Jason began to climb the rope with a pace so fast that Sarah couldn’t believe it was humanly possible. She grabbed the bottom of the same rope as she prepared to climb herself, and she felt her brother’s hands from behind her grip the rope as well, ready to bolster her up in the event that her leg gave out and she didn’t have enough arm strength to pull her and her gun up to Jason’s reach. Sarah took a deep breath, lifting herself up to start pulling up, when suddenly—and without any warning at all—Eric’s arms disappeared from the rope entirely.

Bewildered, Sarah turned around to see what was going on, releasing the rope from her grip and walking over to the side of the cliff, where Eric was strangely and solemnly staring out. 

“Eric?” Sarah called out, resting a hand on her brother’s arm as she inspected his face, which was suddenly haunted—as if he had been struck by some realization, or possessed by a terrifying thought that wouldn’t let up its grip on his brain. “Are you…okay?”

Rachel hopped off of her rope, too, and stood on the other side of Sarah’s brother, concern etched into her features so clearly that Sarah wondered if they were feeling the exact same level of emotions. 

“Come on,” Rachel chimed in, successfully grabbing Eric’s attention. “We go together.” Eric nodded back at his wife, but his eyebrows were still furrowed together in confusion, as if something were missing and he needed to figure it out immediately. 

Still, he turned to walk back with Rachel, with Sarah just a beat behind him as she limped—but a beat was enough time to fuck her completely over. 

Sarah didn’t even hear the shriek as she was knocked on her ass, something heavy and cold knocking her straight to the ground and pinning her there quickly, all before she even had a chance to yell for help. She screamed and kicked out at what she assumed was a vampire—still having not seen it properly, as it was all a flurry of blue swirling lines as they struggled against each other—before she reached for her gun desperately, knowing that if she could just aim for something, she could probably get out from underneath its body.

Sarah almost had the gun aimed at what looked like a chest before she saw a cold, blue hand rip the gun straight out of her hands, tossing it over the edge of the cliff and down, down, down into the abyss. 

“Oh, fuck!” Sarah screeched as she attempted to fight it with her hands, pushing against what she could now see were its shoulders—tiny, little bony things—as she precariously dodged its snapping jaws, looking up for a split second to see its face.

“Clarice?!” Eric’s horrified voice confirmed what she’d just seen, and it was shocking enough to throw her off guard, her body freezing up instead of doing what it should have been doing—fighting. Clarice—no, not Clarice anymore, just a vampire—took the opportunity to drag her long, pointed nails down Sarah’s injured leg, eliciting a feral, anguished scream as they took purchase in her fleshy calf, digging deeper and deeper into her already wounded tissue. 

Sarah distantly heard Eric screaming her name through the intense ringing in her ears, but she couldn’t gauge where he was in relation to her at all; her vision was starting to go black around the edges of her eyes from the extraordinary amounts of agony that was suddenly resurfacing all at once, and she felt her body go still as Clarice ripped apart her flesh, her eyes rolling to the back of her head as it began to shut down from the pain.

She felt Clarice’s cold, dead nails pull out of her with a shriek and Sarah gasped, sitting upright and staring down at her wounded leg. There was blood seeping through her bandages all the way to her jeans, and she was certain that if her leg was doing alright before, it was fucked up now. 

Still, she got to her feet as quickly as she could, having to lift her bad leg so that she wouldn’t collapse right back down to the ground again as she was now completely unable to walk or bear any weight on it. She whipped her head towards the right, where Rachel had been knocked down by Clarice and was fighting her tooth and nail, Eric coming up from behind to rip the vampire off of his wife.

Sarah tried to figure out how Clarice had moved on from her to Rachel so quickly, but she figured one of them had knocked Clarice off of her, effectively saving her life once again. Rachel and Eric squared up against Clarice, who stared right past them and sneered at Sarah, as if she just knew that the blonde was the weakest link—the guaranteed kill. 

Rachel must have seen this as her opportunity—because she grabbed Eric’s arm ans they ran for the ropes, Sarah following as quickly as she could with only one usable leg. She knew, as soon as she started moving, that she was royally fucked—she couldn’t stand on her leg at all, and Rachel was already halfway up the rope.

Eric stayed behind, and he turned around just in time to watch his baby sister get yanked back by her hair, Clarice pinning her once again as she tore apart her pant leg, holding Sarah’s writhing body down as she bit into her injury, taking off chunks of dead flesh and devouring it quickly, intent on making Sarah her next meal, apparently. 

“JASON!” Sarah screamed, and she had never heard her own voice sound so frightened—so anguished. She hoped with every ounce of hope in her, that Jason was still close enough to hear her scream. Still close enough to come back down and save her.

Because she was certain that nobody else was going to do it.

Sarah would have thought that with her desperate pushing and bucking to get Clarice off of her combined with the agony that was ripping through her body, she wouldn’t have been able to hear or notice anything going on around her, but she was wrong. She could hear Rachel’s voice, clear as day, when she yelled: “ERIC, LISTEN TO ME! SARAH IS TOO INJURED—SHE WON’T MAKE IT! IF WE DON’T LEAVE NOW, WE WILL ALL DIE! I CAN HEAR THE OTHER VAMPIRES COMING—WE HAVE TO GO!”

Sarah closed her eyes then, Clarice’s nails and teeth beginning to gain more headway now that Sarah had stopped fighting. She was going to die, and the only thing that she could think now was how grateful she was that she had told Jason that she loved him. 

“No.”

Eric’s voice was choked up in a sob, but sounded determined at the same time. It was shocking enough that Sarah’s eyes whipped open and she tilted her head all the way back, far enough to see her big brother running at her, conscious enough to watch as he jumped onto Clarice and knocked her off of his sister, wrestling with her on the ground as he saved his sister’s life. 

“RUN, SARAH!” Eric pleaded with her, pinning Clarice under him as he attempted to get her close enough to the edge to push her off. “GET TO THE ROPES—I’M RIGHT BEHIND YOU, GO!”

Sarah didn’t hesitate, knowing that she couldn’t waste any time or she would be dead. She hurtled her body towards the rope and pulled herself up it, using what was left of her strength to haul ass as far up as she could, knowing that she didn’t have much left to give. 

I just need to make it far enough for Jason to pull me the rest of the way up, she reminded herself, feeling the blood drip down her leg and crying out every time the rope scratched against her now open wound. 

Sarah only looked down once—and she wished she wouldn’t have looked down at all.

Clarice had somehow bested her brother, and was now holding him up by a single hand, much like the other vampire had done to her and to Nick hours earlier, and Eric was struggling to breathe. The sight was enough to make Sarah drop off of the rope, knowing that if she didn’t get to her brother soon, he wouldn’t make it back up the rope with her.

She hopped as fast as she could, tears stinging her eyes—but she wasn’t fast enough—and she didn’t make it.

She watched, an inhuman, excruciating scream ripping through her throat and past her lips, as Clarice crushed Eric’s neck wide open with both hands, his head coming clean off of his shoulders as his headless body fell to the ground and rolled off of the cliff, down into the abyss. 

Eric was dead.

And it was all her fault.

Play with me | cyj – one-shot

A fan favorite (not only here, this is pretty popular on ao3 as well 🤭)! Not that I’m too surprised about it. Gamer!au is vastly enjoyed and tbh everything about this fic is so straight forward aksgjagj. You get your gamer boyf choi yeonjun, needy baby reader, a bit of tears and misunderstanding (bc duh, i wrote it), self-indulgent smut and some comedy as a bonus! People loved it, and I did too 😆

Yin to my yang | jjk – one-shot

Literally the most aleyna thing ever to aleyna. That’s all I will say. A heap of emotions from the start? ✅ Growing up together? ✅ Idiots in love? ✅ A lot of crying? ✅ Confessions at the last possible moment? ✅ Make-up sex for all the time they wasted? ✅ This didn’t get much love (read feedback), so I recommend it strongly!!

Boyfriend chronicles | kmg – series

There’s nothing more self-indulgent in this world than writing down your own delusions and then adding a somewhat legible plot to it so that y’all don’t point and laugh. I think a lot of people will enjoy it moving forward (this only has one cute lil’ prologue so far) <3 because c’mon now, who the hell doesn’t like a big puppy giant absolutely worshipping the fuck out of you until you start believing in love again </3

Weak for you | kth – one-shot

A fic that pushed me out of my boundaries and made me realize that I can indeed write longer fics 🌬️! Yep! I strongly used to believe that I’m incapable of hitting word counts like 10K and so on. But I proved myself wrong with this one <3! A bit underrated compared to some of my other stuff. Maybe because it’s not for everyone, but I do know that boxer!tyun enthusiasts are pretty large in number 👀! You can give this one a shot of you enjoy boxer aus and emotional rollercoasters 🎢 and steamy times obviously —

Literally all my thirst drabbles

A brief peek inside my head. You don’t even have to read it all, you can just skim through the warnings and the internal functions of my brain will be crystal clear to you. Also, a lot of people seem to enjoy them <3! Saur 🤭 I definitely recommend ✨! Maybe you will find out that you share a few braincells with me after reading these 🤝🏼

Top 8 Things to Do in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is a Middle Eastern destination that is attracting attention from travellers and making headlines. Over the recent years, the country has mellowed down on laws and rules to encourage tourism. It has also come up with some exciting projects that will be unveiled in the future to pique the intrigue of global visitors further. If Saudi Arabia has caught your attention and you are wondering where to go, we recommend you start with Jeddah - a wondrous port city in this nation. You can find many things to do in Jeddah, but the eight places listed below are our top picks. Check them out!

Al Shallal Theme Park

Al Shallal Theme Park is the perfect spot to enjoy thrill rides, rollercoasters, and more in a vibrant ambiance. The park also has a skating ice rink to try some skating skills and an Amazon boat ride experience as well. It is a great place to bond with family and kids, with loads of entertainment and adventures.

Jeddah Waterfront

Spend a day enjoying the sunny shores of Jeddah and its quaint city skyline at Jeddah Waterfront. This arena is famous for its art installations and the exquisite Jeddah Yacht Club. Overlooking the Red Sea, this 30-kilometre coastal corniche is where you can enjoy the beauty of Jeddah city. Visit just before sunset to enjoy the mellowed evening as the city is illuminated under the night sky, giving you a sight worth remembering forever.

Silver Sand Beach

For beach lovers and nature enthusiasts, Jeddah offers a clean, pristine stretch of coastline with some fantastic beaches. One of the famous beaches to visit in Jeddah is Silver Sand Beach- a tranquil retreat where the golden sandy beach meets the warm waters of the Red Sea, creating a soothing ambiance for its visitors. Amid the tranquil settings, you can enjoy a bare-footed relaxing stroll or the various recreational activities this coastal haven has in store.

King Fahd’s Fountain

One of the landmark attractions in Jeddah, The King Fahd’s Fountain is boasted as the highest single-jet water fountain in the world. Inspired by the Geneva Fountain, this fountain was made for the city of Jeddah by King Fahd and today; it graces the city skyline with its splendors. Viewing this colossal fountain in the evening is mesmerizing.

Historic Jeddah 

Head to the eastern coast to view the bygone era and old-world charms of Jeddah when it was a major port on the ocean route. Stroll around and discover the UNESCO-listed Heritage of Jeddah, which is richly influenced by the cultural dynamics of being a port city and the major stop for people arriving for the Mecca pilgrimage. The old street market, Old Jeddah gate and tower houses with intricately designed wooden panels, and the famous carved doors in Al Balad that date back to the 7th century AD will charm you and intrigue you about the history of Jeddah.

Sharm Obhur

Gear up for a scuba diving adventure at Sharm Obhur - one of the best places to visit in Jeddah for a scuba diving experience in Saudi Arabia. Located north of Jeddah on the coastline of the Red Sea, this quaint sea town is flanked by the clearest waters of the Red Sea, making it ideal for exploring the underwater world. Apart from scuba diving, you can opt for deep-sea sailing or enjoy stays at luxurious resorts for an off-the-grid beach holiday experience.

Bayada Island

Tagged as the 'Maldives of Jeddah,' Bayada Island is a paradisiacal escape for visitors who would love to lounge in the Middle Eastern sun with serene turquoise waters lapping at the shores. This island is a fantastic spot to unwind and refresh in the tranquillity of nature and sea views and to enjoy an amazing array of watersports in Jeddah.

Mall of Arabia

Lastly, for shopaholics, Jeddah presents the Mall of Arabia - the biggest shopping mall in Saudi Arabia. Located near the international airport, this is where you should head for the ultimate retail therapy on your Saudi vacation. With over 400 shoes offering branded goods, apparel, and local merchandise, the mall has something for everyone to take home with them, along with memories of their splendid trip to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia Visa Guide

Now that you are enticed and intrigued about Jeddah, know a bit about Saudi Arabia Visa to ensure a stress-free vacation planning process. Citizens that belong to GCC countries do not have the requirement of applying for a Saudi visa. Citizens of certain countries can also avail of the efficient and time-saving Saudi Evisa for their holiday plans. The minimum requirement for a tourist visa to Saudi Arabia includes a passport with six months and more validity and residential, financial, and travel details. Get in touch with a Saudi visa expert, and you will get first-hand information about the visa documentation and process and guidance from an expert.

Conclusion

Being a port city, Jeddah gives a distinct experience, unlike the rest of Saudi Arabia’s famous townships. While the idea of holidaying in Saudi Arabia may steer your fascination towards the Red Dunes of Riyadh - one of the famous desert safari destinations in the world, Jeddah gives you calmer yet exciting experiences that lean towards the water elements in Saudi Arabia. It is among the most breathtaking cities in the Middle East to go on a memorable vacation. Don't believe what we say. Visit Jeddah and allow your experience to tell the story for itself.

Navigating the Off-Grid Energy Storage Jungle: A Dive into Market Insights

Welcome, energy enthusiasts, to a rollercoaster ride through the intriguing realm of off-grid energy storage systems! Forget the jargon-filled reports; we’re here to break it down in a way that’s not only informative but also mildly entertaining. So, buckle up as we embark on a journey through the Global Off-Grid Energy Storage Systems Market.

The Billion-Dollar Playground:

Picture this: a market valued at a whopping USD 9.21 billion in 2021, playing tag with a forecasted CAGR of 16.3% until it reaches a staggering USD 33.00 billion by 2030. Now, that’s a playground any market analyst would want to explore.

The Players:

In this electrifying game, two heavyweight contenders take the stage — Lithium-ion Battery and Lead-acid Battery. While lithium-ion steals the spotlight, lead-acid is the dark horse, showing the fastest growth. Forget the tech jargon; it’s like the battery version of a superhero showdown!

Market Dynamics:

The plot thickens as we delve into the dynamic world of off-grid energy storage. What’s driving this circus, you ask? Well, two main attractions — the global embrace of renewable energy and the ever-evolving off-grid landscape. It’s like witnessing the fusion of sustainable power and technological wizardry.

Regional Rumble:

Our journey takes us across continents — from North America’s policy-induced growth spurt to Europe’s renewable energy fiesta. The market dance card also includes Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa, making this a truly global spectacle.

Type Wars:

Lithium-ion Battery flexes its muscles, claiming the largest market share, while Lead-acid Battery sprints ahead in the growth race. The ‘others’ category is like the quirky sidekick, trailing behind but still part of the adventure.

Application Extravaganza:

The utility segment steals the show, driven by electrification dreams in remote areas. Meanwhile, the non-residential segment struts its stuff with sophisticated infrastructures demanding energy security. It’s like witnessing a power-packed talent show where everyone wants to be in the limelight.

Market Dynamics Unveiled (Oops! Sorry, no unveiling here):

Innovation takes center stage as industry players throw their Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) gadgets into the ring. German storage system manufacturer Tesvolt even introduced the TS-I HV 80 battery line, designed to tackle load peaks. Talk about leveling up the game!

Challenges in the Off-Grid Arena:

But, of course, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows in this electrifying spectacle. The rising expansion of the off-grid energy storage business faces the challenge of demanding significant capital investments. As they say, no pain, no gain, right?
