Painting

Anxiety starts painting again after going a long time without so much as touching a brush. Thomas and the Lights always promise to come see his work, but seem to never come... Leading to one very distressed Anxiety.

This is inspired by this vent fic by @januceit, don't worry I made sure to ask him first before I decided to write this!

Pre-AA, canon to my au (up until CLBG, the sides were actually in the videos, but after that Thomas acted in them. With AA, Thomas created that storyline himself because this fic is what actually happened and he didn't know how to make it into a video.)

Also Logan knows Anxiety's name is Virgil, but also refers to him as Angel as he also goes by his middle name.

Pairings: implied prinxiety crush

Warnings: Crying, overworking

Anxiety headed down the ladder to the cellar, where he'd set up a small painting studio. He has his canvases, his brushes, plenty of paint, a closet for storage, and his favorite paintings were hung up on the walls. He was comfortable there, and felt safe.

He hadn't been down there in a long, long time.

But recently, he was struck with inspiration to pick up painting again. He had an idea for a beautiful painting, and wouldn't rest until it came to be.

The painting had turned out better than he'd hoped; a forest clearing, with butterflies fluttering around and glowing flowers on vines creeping up the trees. It was gorgeous, and Anxiety was proud of it.

He remembered how he'd gone to the next meeting Thomas called with a big smile on his face.

"What're you so happy about, kiddo?"

"Oh! I decided to get back into painting, and wondered if you'd like to come see? It turned out beautifully!"

They all promised they'd come see, but never got around to it.

So Anxiety tried again.

Running his brush along the canvas, bringing his ideas to life.

"Hey Princey, you like art right? I made another painting, and I think you'll really like it! It's an giant angel holding the human it guards."

"Wow. I wouldn't have expected something that sounds so wonderful from someone like you! No offense. I'll come to see it as soon as I'm done here."

He never came.

Anxiety kept trying.

His ideas were indeed coming to life, but not the ones he'd hoped would.

"Patton, hey! I finished my new painting. Do you want to come see it? It's a little bit darker, but I think you'll like it! It's a child hugging their cat as a fire burns in the background."

"Sounds lovely, kiddo! I'm a bit busy right now, but I'll come see it in a little bit, okay?"

Let down again.

Anxiety wouldn't give up.

With shaking hands, he touched the brush down on the canvas.

"Thomas...?"

"Not now, Anxiety. I need to work."

Anxiety swallowed the lump in his throat. No one ever came to see his beautiful work.

He sank out, going home.

His roommate was there on the couch.

"H-hey, do you... Want to come see my paintings?"

"I'd love to, but my neck totally doesn't hurt at all."

Anxiety sighed. "Where's Remus?"

"With Logan."

Anxiety nodded, heading back towards his studio and going down the ladder.

Anxiety looked at his latest painting, still on the easel. He was suddenly filled with anger. He hated this painting.

He grabbed a brush, dipping it in white paint and drawing an X over the entire painting.

"Dammit!" Anxiety threw his brush, letting it hit a canvas he'd painted black.

When he looked at the canvas...

It gave him an idea.

He shoved the hated painting off the easel, grabbing the black canvas and setting it up.

He grabbed a small brush, dipping it in the white paint and making a sketchy circle above the white blemish from the thrown brush.

He added diagonal lines; hair.

He added a mouth with gritted teeth.

He added two curved lines; an eye, wide open with fear.

Anxiety realized he was crying. He added a line falling from the eye.

He expanded the white mark, turning it into a body.

He added arms, bent towards the head as if covering the ears.

He added legs, curled up under the figure.

Anxiety wiped his eyes, washing off his brush.

He dipped it into the green paint.

His hands were shaking.

He added a green circle to the eye. Then he added a green X over the hair, where the other eye would be.

He washed his brush.

He dipped it into the purple paint.

He added an purple X over the green circle, matching his own left eye.

He made a sketchy painting of himself, curled up and crying as he covered his ears.

But he wasn't done.

He grabbed a bigger brush, and added hands pointing at the drawing of himself.

Starting on the left, arcing over to the right.

A green hand, for the one who's never home.

A light blue hand, for the one who called him "kiddo" but was never able to treat him like his kiddo.

He skipped one.

On the right, a yellow hand, for the one that always had an excuse.

And below that, a red hand, for the one he thought he loved, but who always seemed to have something better to do.

Finally, at the top, a pink hand, for the one he was supposed to protect.

Wait.

There was one missing.

Logan.

Logan had come to see every painting, never failing to arrive.

"Oh wow, Angel, that's beautiful! How long did it take to paint those flowers?"

"This one's even better! Virgil, is this you and Thomas?"

"...Virgil, its beautifully painted, but... Do you need to talk?"

Every painting, every stroke of the brush, Logan was there for him.

Anxiety painted one final hand.

A dark blue one, helping him cover his ears.

The painting needed something more.

He added two halves of a broken heart at the bottom, on either side of him. On the left, outlined in purple and colored in green. On the right, the opposite.

He was finished. And just in time; Thomas was calling him.

"Just a minute, Thomas!"

He laid down his brush and wiped his eyes again.

He'd done it. He'd finally made a painting showing how he really felt.

Once the paint had dried, he took the canvas and sank out, heading for Thomas' apartment.

"Hey, everyone."

"Hey, kiddo!"

Anxiety nervously rocked on his heels, clutching the painting.

"Why did you bring your painting this time?"

Anxiety felt tears running down his face again. "I just... This is one you guys... Really need to see."

Slowly, he turned the painting around.

Everyone went silent, staring at it.

"Anxiety... Bud, is this how you really feel?"

"Kiddo, why didn't you tell us?"

"Angel..."

Roman simply stared in silence.

Anxiety couldn't stop himself from sobbing.

"I-I'm sorry, I just... I didn't know how to tell you. You guys never came to see my work, and I... I..."

"Anxiety."

He looked up at Thomas.

"Take us to see your paintings."

"You... What?"

"You heard me. Take us to see your paintings."

Anxiety beamed through his tears. "O-Okay!"

He sank out, pulling everyone with him.

"This is my studio. It's actually the cellar, but we had no use for it so I took it."

Everyone looked around, awestruck by Anxiety's paintings.

"The ones hung up are my favorite ones. Look, Roman , this is the one I asked you to see! The angel, remember?"

It was a landscape-oriented painting of a large angel, with two rings blocking its eyes from view. The rings themselves were covered in eyes, one with green and one with purple. The angel was seen from a 3/4 angle, holding up its hands. In its hands was a small human, seemingly unaware they were being held at all.

"That's... More beautiful than I expected."

Anxiety blushed a bit. "It's, uh... Supposed to be me holding Thomas. Y'know, since it's my job to protect him, I kinda see myself as his guardian angel."

Thomas gazed at the painting. "I never thought of it that way, but now that you mention it..."

He turned away from the painting.

"Anxiety, I-"

"Virgil."

Thomas tilted his head. "What?"

"That's my name. Virgil."

Roman's eyes went wide as he heard the name. "Virgil, as in... Virgil Moriarty? The prince of Kora?"

Virgil chuckled nervously. "The one and only. But that's not important right now. What's important is that... You all cared enough to come see my paintings."

"Virgil, you're just as much a part of me as the others. Of course I care, even if I don't show it."

Virgil smiled.

Things were finally looking up for him.

If anyone wants to see the vent painting, here it is!

A Start Of Family

During a conversation with Thomas, Logan asks Patton to give him a checkup since he's a doctor. When he does, Patton finds something that means big news for Logan.

ALTERNATE TIMELINE, PRE-AA, NOT CANON TO MY AU BUT SET IN IT

Pairing: intrulogical

Warnings: throwing up, medical concerns, pregnancy, outing a trans man(I guess? They knew he was male but thought he was cis and this is how they found out he wasn't)

Logan was snuggled against Remus after a long day, groaning as he heard Thomas call his name.

"Thomas is calling me, I gotta go..."

Remus kissed his hair, smiling. "Alright, you go on then. Oh, and ask Patton to check you while you're there, okay?"

Logan stood up, shifting his clothes to his shirt and tie. "I will. See you later, hon."

"I'll probably be in bed. See you."

With that, Logan sank out.

---

"Apologies for taking so long to appear, Thomas, I was a bit busy."

Thomas waved his hand. "No, you're good!"

Anxiety was standing on the stairs, hunched over with his hands in his pockets. "Alright, what do you want this time."

As Thomas began explaining why he called the sides, Logan's vision slowly went blurry, and he felt his stomach tightening. He was about to throw up... Again.

He tried to subtly cover his mouth and force it back down, but of course Thomas noticed.

"Logan, you okay there?"

Logan nodded, which made him feel worse. He squeezed his eyes shut, slowly and carefully shaking his head "no". He swallowed forcefully, clearing his throat.

"To be honest, that is the only reason I didn't give an excuse to stay home. Patton?"

Patton hummed, signaling he was listening.

"You are a doctor, correct?" Logan wrapped his arms around himself, internally begging his body to just let him talk.

"Yes, I am... Why?"

Logan took a deep breath. "I have some... Concerns, and I wanted to ask if you would give me a checkup?"

Patton gave a soft smile, summoning a small backpack. "Of course, should we do it here or go home?"

"Here's fine... Urp!" Logan suddenly doubled over, before turning and rushing into the bathroom.

---

Logan walked out of the bathroom, leaning against the wall with a groan. He looked to the couch, where everyone was sitting.

"Sorry you had to hear that."

Roman shook his head. "No, Logan, it's fine. Not like you could help it."

Logan nodded, before going over to Patton and sitting next to him.

Patton pulled a stethoscope from his bag. "So, other than the vomiting, are there any other concerns?"

Logan sighed, still cringing from the horrid taste in his mouth.

"There's... Pressure on my bladder? As if someone was pressing their hand over it. And..." He hesitated. "There's... Not really a way to say this without... Revealing something that I'm... Not entirely ready for you to know."

Anxiety moved to sit next to Logan, taking his hand gently. "You know they won't judge, Lo."

Logan nodded, and took a deep breath. "There's this... Pain? In my... My breasts. It could be from my binder, but I doubt it."

Patton nodded, rubbing the stethoscope on his palm so it wouldn't be too cold for Logan. "And are you comfortable removing your binder in front of us?"

Logan bit his lip, before nodding and undoing his tie. He pulled his shirt off, before tucking his arm into the side of his binder and slipping it over his head.

Patton put the stethoscope in his ears, before placing his hand on Logan's back and the chestpiece of the stethoscope over Logan's heart. "Deep breath in."

Logan did so, and Patton moved the chestpiece. "And out."

Logan breathed out.

Patton did this a few more times, before doing the same on Logan's back.

"Well, your breathing is normal. Now, let me check your stomach."

Logan nodded, giving a worried glance over at Thomas and Roman, relaxing when he saw they weren't staring; instead, they were talking about some movie Logan hadn't seen.

Patton placed the stethoscope on Logan's abdomen, shushing Thomas and Roman, and listening intently.

"...huh. Wait..."

Patton moved the chestpiece and listened harder, which made Logan worry.

"Is... Is everything... Okay, Patton?"

Patton pulled the stethoscope out of his ears. "Well... Good news, I think."

"Patton, what is it?"

"To put it simply, you're going to be a father."

Logan felt nauseous again. "I'm... What?"

"Logan, you're pregnant. I thought I'd need to do a more thorough check, but... There's a second heartbeat."

Logan slowly placed his hand over his stomach.

"I... I need to go talk to Remus."

---

Logan appeared in his living room, looking around for Remus.

"Rem?" he called out.

No response.

"Guess he's asleep."

Logan rushed upstairs and into his room, seeing Remus asleep in the bed.

"Hon, wake up!"

Remus squirmed a bit under the blanket as Logan shook him awake. "What..."

"Remus, I talked to Patton. I... Remus, I'm pregnant."

Remus' eyes shot open. He sat up abruptly, now wide awake. "You're what?!"

Logan was holding back tears. "Patton checked me, and... And he heard another heartbeat, right here." He put his hand over his womb.

Remus tossed the blanket off of himself, standing up and pulling Logan into a hug.

"Okay, Firefly, get your onesie on, we'll cuddle. Don't cry, please don't cry."

Logan nodded as the tears began to escape his eyes.

If all else failed, he knew Remus would always be there to support him.

No matter what.

Feral

Patton has forgotten to feed for a few weeks, which leads to a big, big problem.

Pairings: Logicality, prinxiety, demus, moceit, intrulogical

Warnings: Vampirism, blood, smoking, biting, ferality. And at one point it's not outright said but it is heavily implied that Patton killed a mouse

❤️Janus uses all pronouns(mainly she/her) and is on estrogen, Virgil uses all pronouns(mainly he/him), Logan is a transgender man, Roman is transfem nonbinary and uses they/vaey/it/she❤️

Patton rolled over, making sure to keep his back pressed against Logan's. His stomach growled and twisted; he was hungry.

The kind of hungry that food won't help.

He needed to feed. And fast, before...

Well, that could wait, couldn't it?

After all, it was almost morning. If he left now, Logan would wake up and be worried about him.

He just had to try and hold on until the next night,when he could find someone to feed on.

---

"Morning, Pat!"

Patton awoke to Logan snuggling up against him, nuzzling his face.

Logan smelled like...

Blood.

Patton's eyes glowed a faint red-orange as he tried to restrain himself. It smelled so good, though...

"Morning, Lo..."

"You feeling okay, Starlight?" Logan laid his hand over Patton's forehead.

"Y-yeah, why?"

"You just look a bit off, is all. Just making sure." Logan slid off the bed, pulling his clothes on. "Hey, don't forget your ring today."

"Mhm. I'll be out in a bit, hon."

---

Patton lazily poked at his breakfast, trying to find a reason to eat. After all, it wasn't food that he needed.

"Hey, Azeron to Patton." Janus called out.

Patton shook his head, coming back to reality. He looked up at everyone. "Huh?"

"You okay there, buddy?" Remus laid down his fork and took Patton's hand. "You're like, really spacey right now."

Patton leaned against his fist, finally taking a bite of his food. "I'm fine, I promise. Just... Tired, is all."

Everyone was suddenly startled by Virgil crying out.

"Dammit!" Virgil dropped his knife and clutched his finger. He'd cut himself.

Patton's vision went blurry. All he could see...

Was blood.

It smelled incredible, and it was flowing quickly despite it being such a tiny cut.

"Here, honey, let me get you a bandage." Roman stood up, leaving for the bathroom.

Virgil stuck the injured finger in his mouth, causing Patton to regain control over himself; he couldn't see it anymore.

He pushed his plate away and laid his head down, trying to focus on something other than the blood.

But it had smelled so delicious, and Patton was starved...

"I'm going out to smoke." Patton stood up, pushing his chair in. "If you need me, I'll be on the roof."

---

Patton leaned down against the parapet, pulling a cigarette and a lighter out of his pocket. He put the cigarette in his mouth and raised the lighter, hesitating a bit before lighting the cigarette.

He sighed, looking down at the trees, before looking back up and gazing at the Tree of the Nether.

This tree had been there long before any other, and was massive. It was covered in vines, mushrooms, and flowers. At the base was a Nether portal, which no one knows who built it. A large pond surrounded it, with lilypads forming a path to the portal.

Patton sighed again as the image of Virgil's blood reentered his mind. He looked down, making sure he wasn't over Roman's balcony, before ashing his cigarette on the edge of the parapet.

"Patton?"

Patton flinched as he heard Virgil, of all people, behind him. He turned to face her.

"Make some damn noise, jeez."

Virgil giggled a bit. "Sorry, but I don't do shoes. So, that's about as loud as I'll get." He leaned next to Patton. "I just wanted to make sure everything was okay, you've seemed really down this morning."

"Like I said before, I'm just really tired today." Patton offered the cigarette box towards Virgil, who shook their head.

"Look, Vee, I just..." Patton took a draw from his cigarette, making sure to blow the smoke away from Virgil. "I just need some time alone, okay?"

Virgil nodded. "I get it. Alright, I'll leave you alone now. See you later, Pat!"

He waved with the hand he had cut, which only wafted the smell of blood into the air around Patton.

It was everything for Patton not to let out a growl then and there.

---

That afternoon, Patton was sitting in a tree with his guitar, trying to figure out the chords to Seether's Plastic Man. He'd forgotten about what happened that morning, having fed on a mouse he found on the way to the tree.

Suddenly, he heard... Someone's bloodstream?

Someone was coming. He vanished his guitar, sending it back to his room. He crawled down to the end of the branch, sniffing the air.

It was Virgil.

He was alone, walking through the woods and humming quietly to himself.

Patton relaxed a bit once he knew this person wasn't a threat, but tensed again...

When Virgil got caught in a bush.

"Ah-! Shit..." He tried to untangle his jacket from the branches... But she had taken the bandage off their finger, and a thorned branch sliced it back open, only this time it was much deeper.

Patton's eyes dilated and glowed as he smelled Virgil's blood pouring down his hand.

He couldn't think. All he knew was there was someone here with no way of fighting back, and their blood smelled amazing.

Patton swung down, dropping from the branch gracefully and sneaking up behind Virgil.

He was still trying to detach the bush from himself, completely obvious to the fact that a feral vampire was right behind him.

Patton grinned fiercely, grabbing Virgil from behind.

"What the- AA-"

Patton slapped his hand over Virgil's mouth, stifling her screams. He yanked him out of the bush and pinned him to a tree, pulling up his hand and shoving the cut finger into his mouth.

"Mmph!!" Virgil tried to scream out Patton's name in surprise.

Patton wrapped his tongue around Virgil's finger, groaning is pleasure as he tasted blood for the first time in weeks.

Virgil squirmed, trying to scream for help, trying to summon someone... But he couldn't get them, and didn't have enough power at the moment to use an emergency signal.

Patton pulled away from her hand, staring at her neck.

He smiled again as he leaned forward and sank his teeth into Virgil's neck, near his shoulder.

He listened in delight as he heard his victim trying to scream. This foolish human should have known better than to stay unguarded for so long...

Patton sucked on the wounds that his fangs were in, smiling to himself as he felt the red liquid running down his throat.

He pulled away for a second, looking deep into the human's eyes.

"Enjoy your last few days of mortality, human."

With that, he threw his head forward and bit the same spot again, this time letting venom flow into the human's bloodstream through the tiny holes in the back of his fangs.

After a few more minutes of Patton suckling on the human's neck, Patton finally began to come back to being himself...

He realized who he was biting and jumped backwards.

"V-Virgil?! Oh no, are you..."

Virgil clapped his hand over the wounds in his neck, cowering away from Patton.

Patton covered his mouth. "By Talos, what have I done..."

Virgil squeezed his eyes shut, before opening them again with a small flash of purple and green.

He'd sent out an emergency signal to the other sides.

"Vee, I'm sorry, I didn't... I-I wasn't, I just... I'm sorry!"

Patton fell to his knees, hugging himself as he tried desperately to apologize.

He suddenly heard the flapping of several wings behind him, along with a few screams and a couple "what the fuck?!"s.

Roman rushed over to Virgil, pulling her hand away and checking the wounds.

"...Patton, tell me you didn't... Turn him?"

Patton looked back at Janus with tears in his eyes. "I... I didn't mean to. Please, honey, you have to believe me, I'd never... I-I didn't..."

Janus stepped forward, pulling Patton into a standing position. "I knew something was off with you today."

Logan gripped onto Remus, shaking.

"Logan, Firefly, I promise I didn't mean to..."

Logan buried his face further into Remus.

Patton's face fell. "You... You're scared of me..."

He looked down at his feet. "...Alright. Do whatever you want to me, just... Please, try to understand that I couldn't control myself. I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I swear it.

Roman stepped forward, summoning a leather muzzle.

"We know you didn't mean it. But we won't let it happen again."

---

Three days later, Patton was locked in a padded room, alone. The sides had been tossing him a squirrel every now and then trying to keep him fed.

Patton sat on the bed, staring at his feet and sighing. He fiddled with the leather mask, but didn't dare take it off unless he was feeding.

Suddenly, the door opened.

"Patton?"

Patton looked up, blinking. "Thomas? What's going on?"

"Virgil's due to turn any minute now, and he wanted you there in case he needs help... You know, since you've been through it before."

Patton blinked in disbelief. "He didn't... Cure it?"

Thomas shook his head. "Nope. He wanted to see what it's like. Besides, if he changes his mind, you can always take him to see Falion. He's the one that can cure vampirism, right?"

Patton nodded, sliding off the bed and following Thomas.

---

In the dark sides' house, Virgil paced in front of the couch as he waited for the transformation to begin.

"So, Patton, what will it feel like?"

Patton thought for a second. "Well... It might be a little painful, like your body if trying to collapse on itself... But that only lasts a few seconds, and then it's almost like a high until it's over. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes."

Virgil nodded, continuing to pace.

No more than a minute later, he cried out and doubled over, hugging himself.

Virgil's skin faded to a paler color, making her freckles more noticeable. He fell over and writhed for a bit before curling up and screaming in pain.

Roman jumped up, rushing over and pulling Virgil into their lap and cradling him.

Virgil twitched against Roman's chest, whimpering.

He felt a sharp poke on his lip. He opened his mouth, causing Roman to gasp as they watched Virgil's canines grow into long, sharp fangs.

Virgil kept screaming, less out of pain and more out of fear.

Until suddenly...

The transformation was over.

Virgil was a freshly born vampire, having been turned by one of his closest friends.

Patton knelt down and placed his hand on Virgil's shoulder. "Are you okay, Vee?"

"I... I think so."

"Hey." Everyone turned to face Thomas as he spoke. "So how does sunlight affect vampires? Will Virgil be able to go out during the day?"

"Yes. Sunlight doesn't actually hurt us, save for our eyes being more sensitive to it." Patton hugged Virgil as he spoke. "But, Virgil, you need to know that in direct sunlight, any wounds you may have will not heal at all until you're out of the sun."

Virgil nodded, hugging Patton back.

"Hey, I'm not mad at you for biting me."

Patton pulled away, shocked. "But you... You should be! You even called them to stop me!"

"I was just... Scared. I'd never been attacked like that before and didn't know how to fight back, so I was terrified. I'm not upset with you, I promise."

Patton nodded slowly, hugging Virgil again.

He was safe, and wasn't upset with Patton, and that's all Patton cared about.

I'd drown for you

In an alternate timeline, Anxiety never ducks out, and the others never go to his room. Instead, he gains their trust by doing something he never thought would happen.

Also involves an actual explanation for how the sides' home planet works lmao

Takes place in: 2017

Pairing: endgame prinxiety, implied intrulogical, a pinch of moceit

Warnings: drowning, almost death, mention of zombies (specifically minecraft Drowned)

Note, in my au Virgil and Logan have been friends since they were babies and know each other well, so Logan at one point slips and reveals Virgil's name

"So where do you guys live?"

No one was expecting Thomas to ask that.

Thomas had seen the mindpalace, of course. But that was merely Roman's little pocket dimension known as the Imagination. Thomas had never seen the sides' home planet.

"Well, kiddo, it's a bit hard to explain." Patton spoke up. "So you know how... Wait that won't make sense. Uh, Logan?"

Logan sighed. "We are from a separate reality than you. In your reality, there is Earth, whereas we have Azeron."

Thomas looked amazed. "So it's like a different universe?"

"Indeed. And you are aware of the video game Minecraft?"

"...yeah?"

Roman chimed in. "We have mobs in our world! And the Nether and the End exist, too! But the Nether looks a lot different than it does in the game, there's like... Forests of giant mushrooms, and instead of zombie pigmen we have Piglins!"

"Full honestly, I'm the one that first gave Notch the idea of Minecraft..." Patton giggled.

Anxiety spoke up against his better judgment. "We could try to take you there. If you want."

Thomas practically jumped in excitement. "I'd love to see your home!"

---

Thomas was awestruck. He was seeing a planet no one else on earth could!

The moonlight lit up the castle grounds. The walls shimmered a bit.

"This is where Patton and I live!" Roman gestured grandly at the manor. "I'd let you meet my parents, but they're probably asleep."

"You and Patton live together here?"

"I moved into his brother's old room a few years ago." Patton said.

Logan stepped forward. "I have an idea. Shall we show Thomas the lake? I believe he will enjoy it."

Anxiety nodded a bit.

Roman practically dragged Thomas down the pathway.

---

The water was gorgeous, despite being murky and dark. It glimmered in the moonlight.

Roman stepped out onto the dock, sighing happily. "My brother and I would come here all the time when we were kids. We would always try and catch a fish bare handed." He chuckled to himself at that.

"Did you ever fall in?"

"A few times." He looked down at the water. "Think I could manage to catch one now?"

Anxiety scoffed. "You're an idiot, it's freezing out here. If you fall in you could get sick."

"Don't be such a killjoy, Anx-Amy Lee."

"That doesn't really work, you should have said it differently."

Roman blushed a deep green as he realized he did indeed mess up the nickname. "Whatever. I'm doing it."

Roman knelt down, sticking his hand in the water without even bothering to roll up his sleeve.

"The fish like to hang out around the dock. Guess they like poles."

"Well, kiddo, is the water cold?"

"Very. It feels like-"

He suddenly went silent.

"Princey, I swear to god, if you're about to freak out because you touched moss or some shit-"

"Something grabbed me."

Everyone froze up. "You mean... Like, someone?" Thomas asked worriedly.

Roman tried to pull his hand out of the water, revealing a decayed hand with a death grip on his wrist.

"Holy shit, what is that?!" Thomas grabbed onto Patton in fear.

"It's a Drowned! Get it off me! Ah-"

Roman was pulled off the dock, and under the water. He struggled to swim free for a moment, before disappearing into the dark water.

Logan pulled out his phone. "I'll call Remus!"

Anxiety's mind was racing. One of his only friends was possibly dying right now.

Patton tried his best to calm Thomas down, as Logan frantically called Roman's brother.

Anxiety took off his jacket, handing it to Logan. "Hold this. I'm going in."

"Virgil, wait-!"

Logan watched helplessly as his best friend dove in after Roman.

---

Anxiety opened his eyes, wincing as the water hit them. He let his eyes adjust to the low light before diving downward.

That Drowned had pulled Roman down at an angle, meaning Anxiety's best bet would be to swim forward and down.

Weaving through weeds and fish, Anxiety desperately looked for even a glimpse of Roman.

He didn't have much time.

He was already almost out of breath. He needed to surface.

Quickly swimming back upwards, Anxiety surfaced, took a deep breath, and dove back under.

His eyes widened as he saw the moonlight glind off of something metallic.

A chain?

He swam towards the glint.

It was Roman! That Drowned had chained him to an ancient structure...

Roman struggled, desperately trying to break the chains. He was running out of air, and fast. His vision was going dark.

Anxiety swam towards him as fast as he could. He took Roman's face in his hands, looking deep into his eyes.

Roman could tell that Anxiety was trying to say to him, I'm going to get you out of here. Roman nodded, terrified.

Anxiety swam down to the part of the chain connected to the stone monolith and pulled on it as hard as he could. It wouldn't break.

He pulled again. One of the links bent a bit.

Anxiety looked at Roman's face. He was blacking out,he couldn't hold his breath any longer...

Panicking, Anxiety grabbed the chain and kicked it, over and over again until it finally shattered.

But just as it did, Roman fell unconscious, breathing in the water without any control.

Anxiety unwrapped the chain from Roman's body as quickly as possible, before scooping Roman into his arms and swimming back towards the dock.

He was running out of air himself, but he wasn't about to fail Roman.

He powered through until his body forced him to try and breathe the water. He choked, and tried to cough up the water, which only made him inhale more.

He couldn't give up now. Roman was counting on him.

He swam faster than he thought he could, until he breached the surface of the water.

"Virgil!" Logan ran to the edge of the dock, putting out his hand to help Anxiety up.

Anxiety pulled Roman onto the dock, before coughing up the water from his lungs.

Now he had to help Roman do the same.

Roman was unconscious. Anxiety tried to pull the water out telekinetically, but he couldn't grab much without being able to see it.

"Virgil."

Anxiety looked up at Logan.

"If we keep doing that, and we all do it at once... Maybe it'll be enough!"

Remus, who had arrived a few minutes earlier with Deceit, nodded and knelt down by Roman.

Together, Anxiety, Logan, Patton, Remus, and Deceit all magically pulled the water out of the prince's lungs, until...

Roman coughed, sitting up abruptly and taking a deep breath.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anxiety, you..." Roman blushed again. "You saved me."

Anxiety smiled, his now wet eyeshadow pouring down his cheeks. "I did." He suddenly scowled as he looked back towards the shore. "Ah fuck, the news is here."

---

After a long, annoying interview with the news reporter, Anxiety convinced them to let Roman go home, as well as reminding Logan to give his jacket back. As they arrived back that the manor, Roman and Remus' parents rushed out and hugged Roman tightly.

"Roman, honey, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, Mom. Thanks to Anxiety." Roman smiled at the emo as he said that.

"Well than, Anxiety, you're in our debt. You saved our son's life." the King spoke up. "If you are ever in need of anything, you just let us know."

"I will, sir. But for now, I think we just need to get Roman to bed."

---

Logan and Remus bid farewell, heading home, with Thomas going with them to stay the night.

Patton had retreated to his own room, and was now happily sleeping with his arms around Deceit.

That left Anxiety and Roman.

Roman was wearing clean, dry pajamas and was comfortably snuggled into bed,having been tucked in by Anxiety.

But as Anxiety turned to leave, he felt Roman grip his jacket.

"Stay? Please..."

Anxiety turned, looking at the sad expression on Roman's face. He smiled.

"Of course, Princey."

He took off his jacket, hanging it on Roman's coatrack, before climbing into bed next to Roman.

Roman snuggled into him, causing Anxiety to spoon him. Roman immediately relaxed as Anxiety wrapped an arm around him.

"Anxiety... Thank you."

Snuggling into the back of Roman's neck, Anxiety hummed in response.

Roman was nervous. He didn't know if it was a good idea to say what he so desperately wanted to say right now.

...whats the harm?

"Anxiety?"

"Hmm?"

"I..." Roman took a deep breath. "I love you."

He felt Anxiety smile against his neck.

"Love you too, Princey."

All that I ask is, keep those empty frames

If nobody's in them, then no one is to blame

This is my Patton having a flashback to the time that his ex girlfriend stabbed him.

Under the cut is an explanation of the lyric choice, and Patton's perspective of this

I chose Dr Sunshine Is Dead because I had an idea for an animatic that I'm not nearly talented enough to make

Before the first chorus, Patton happily dances through his and Jessica's old house, seeing instances of her hurting him. He brushes them off and continues to the chorus.

In the instrumental break, Patton has a flashback to him finding his son dead in the kitchen.

Before the second chorus, Patton has abruptly become terrified of these visions of Jessica. He flinches away from each one he sees, tearing up as he comes to the kitchen door.

In this instrumental break, it plays through the whole scene of him finding Jason, trying to wake him up, and pulling him into his arms. His clothes shift to the blue shirt and cardigan, which he was wearing that day.

When the lyrics come back in, Patton drops Jason, stands up, and turns to yell at Jessica.

On the line "is, isn't, was, have, hasn't, has" Jessica stabs him.

Through Patton's eyes, we see him uncover the wound to reveal a bloody hand (pictured below). (All that I ask is, keep those empty frames)

We see Patton looking down at his hand (pictured above), then he slowly looks up. (If nobody's in them, then no one is to blame)

Patton collapses, holding himself up with one arm and covering the wound with his other hand. The camera is under him, and we can see his mouth singing the lyrics, but his eyes are blocked by his arm. (for your self-portraits, sign another name)

He sits up again, tearfully looking at the floor as he sings. He lifts his hands and grabs his hair, throwing his head back and screaming the word "same" in the lyric. On that cue, the camera angle switches to overhead and spinning. (well, who should I be then, if I'll never be the same)

At the line "I will be my sunshine", he stumbles to his feet, angrily singing the lyrics. When he sings that line again, he falls backwards and rolls onto his stomach.

Before the outro, he starts crawling to his phone, which had appeared in front of him on call with Roman. We hear Roman say through the phone:

"Hello? Hello? Patton?! Pat, are you okay? Look, I'll be there as soon as I possibly can."

As the outro lyrics come in, Patton curls up in pain and rolls onto his back. He whispers, "I'll stay awake tonight", and goes limp.

Patton's perspective of the above images:

Goodbye, Logan.

Logan thinks Remus has a secret, and he does... Just not the one Logan thought.

I have no idea why I got motivation to write my favorite ship breaking up but here we are.

Pairing: intrulogical

Warnings: accusations of cheating, crying, breaking up, transphobia(NOT FROM REMUS DON'T WORRY), panic attack. Also Remus is missing one of his wings and has a prosthetic one

❤️Logan is a no-op transgender man❤️

Logan stood patiently in the moonlight on Mixon Manor's rooftop, pacing a bit as he waited for Remus. At this altitude, it snowed year-round... And it was beautiful. More beautiful than the snowy landscape where Logan lived. Logan hoped Remus called him up here for something romantic.

Suddenly, he heard the flapping of giant wings; one of which sounded mechanical. He looked up and smiled as he saw Remus preparing to land by him.

"Hi, honey!"

"Hey, Logan."

Logan stopped. Remus sounded... Unhappy. And he looked it too.

"Starlight, is everything okay?"

Remus sighed and he moved towards the wall, leaning on it and looking down at the trees. He vanished his wings with a *poof!*

"To be honest... No. That's why I told you to meet me here."

Logan was worried. Remus was always happy around Logan, not like... This.

"Well, what's going on?" Logan went and stood next to Remus, putting his hand on his shoulder.

Remus sighed. Tears started to form in his eyes. "Logan... I really don't want to do this to you, but this isn't working out."

Logan's heart dropped. "W-what do you mean, Remus?"

"I mean... This. Us. Our relationship."

Logan's eyes widened. He'd always dreaded this possibility... And now it was happening. Remus was...

"I'm sorry, Logan, but I'm leaving you."

"No, y-you... You can't..." Logan's eyes welled up with tears and he grabbed onto Remus. "Please, tell me that... That this is some sick prank, or a dare, or... Anything!"

Remus sighed as his own tears began to fall. "Look, Logan..." He turned, taking Logan's hands in his own. "I don't want to do this. I love you, Logan. But this... This just isn't working."

Logan looked up at him, distraught. "What, is there another guy? A girl? Someone else?"

"No, no, Firefly, I'd never."

"Then what-"

"Logan."

Logan stopped, tearfully looking into Remus' eyes.

"Logan, I'm leaving you because..." He sighed shakily. "Because of your father."

"My fa... Did he hurt you?!"

Remus turned back to the wall. "...Yeah. He did. He said I was... Corrupting you, playing into the 'Logan character'." He pulled up his sweater, revealing a horrible bruise on his ribs.

Logan was stunned. "No, he... I thought he... I thought he finally accepted me..."

"Firefly..." Remus turned, taking Logan's hands again. "Look, I love you. More than anything else in the world. I don't want to do this, but..." He gently placed his hand on Logan's cheek. "I have to."

Logan put his hand over Remus'. "Please, Remus, don't do this." He sobbed out, holding Remus' hand tighter as he finally let himself cry completely. He fell to his knees.

Remus knelt down and wrapped his arms around the smaller man, pulling him up onto his lap and gently rubbing his back.

"P... Please, Remus, I- I love you. I love you so much, y-you don't understand, I need you, I... I..."

"Shh, Firefly, shhh... I'm here, darling, I've got you."

"Please, Starlight... Please..." Logan sobbed into Remus' shoulder, leaving a wet spot on his sweater.

"Logan, I don't want to leave you. But... You know what Ren will do, especially after he's already hurt me."

Logan gripped him tighter. "I... I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

With that, the both of them stood up, wiping their eyes.

"I... I guess this is it, huh..."

Remus nodded solemnly.

"Remus, I-"

Logan was cut off by Remus scooping him up and kissing him deeply. Logan wrapped his arms around him and kissed back. He wished it would never end.

Then Remus pulled away.

He spread his wings. Logan took his hand.

He looked at Logan, tears streaming down his face.

"Goodbye, Logan."

And with that, he flew off, leaving Logan with his hand raised in farewell.

He'd never look at snow the same way again.
