Hello, love your writing! You are a true inspiration. If you have time, would you mind doing a snippet where two villains who can fly, are high over the city tossing the hero’s lover around between them (like you would do with a ball or something, but not dropping them to their death) and the hero, who can’t fly, is standing on the top of a nearby skyscraper yelling for them to stop?
Lover clutched at Villain’s chest, scrambling to find any sort of stability.
If they were religious, they might have tried praying. Even if they did, though, it was difficult to think of anything but Villain’s arms and the wind and the ground that was so far away…
“Oh, you’re not scared of heights, are you?” Villain said, a grin in their voice. “It would be a shame if you slipped.” They loosened their grip for a moment just to let Lover slip down an inch.
A small scream tore out of Lover’s throat, and they clutched even tighter onto Villain’s shirt.
Villain looked up and over at someone else, saying, “I don’t know if we’ll be able to have our fun, they’re holding onto my shirt tight enough to tear it if I let go.”
Someone else laughed, a cruel sound that quickly got lost in the wind. 
Lover dared to peek up and around, almost vomiting when they saw the tops of the skyscrapers around them. 
On the top of a shorter building near them, a small figure ran out, waving their arms wildly. 
“Dear, I think our hero wants to say something to us,” the other villain said, flying over. “Shall we go hear what they have to say?” 
“They might want you back,” Villain said to Lover. “But they’d better ask nicely- I’m considering not letting you go. You fit in my arms so nicely, it seems a shame to give you up just like that.” 
They squeezed Lover just a little tighter, and as much as they hated themselves for it, Lover leaned into the safety. A slight tilt and the wind went rushing through Lover’s ears again, and then they were in front of Hero, hovering fifty feet away.
“Did we take something of yours?” the other villain called, flying slightly below Villain and Lover. “Do you want it back?” 
“Give them back!” Hero yelled. “They haven’t done anything, please just give them back.” 
“And here I was really hoping you’d say ‘let them go’,” Villain pouted. “I was really looking forward to doing this.” 
They opened their arms and jerked back, pushing Lover off of them. They flailed, their voice ripped out of their throat for one excruciating second before they crashed into the arms of the other villain.
“Hello dear,” Other Villain said, smiling down into Lover’s wide eyes. “Bit of a shock, yeah? Don’t worry, you’ll have fun with it eventually.” 
Their head spun, bile rising up in their throat. 
Hero was screaming at Villain, begging them to let Lover go. Lover even heard a few “take me insteads”, but Villain just laughed at those. 
“We’re having such fun with them, though,” they said, dropping down next to Other Villain. “And it’s not too often we get opportunities like this- for all your strength, Hero, you’re quite helpless to save your love. What a lovely metaphor, don’t you think?”
“I’ll do whatever you want me to do,” Hero said, “just please put them down. Gently.”
If Lover were a little less terrified, they might have told Hero not to make any stupid promises. The thought had gone through their head before, and they’d had conversations with Hero about this exact possibility- but right now the only thing in their head was the need to cling onto whatever was keeping them up. In this case, the other villain, who looked very amused by Lover’s fear.
“Do you really mean anything?” Villain asked. “That’s quite the promise, Hero.” 
Lover glanced up, making a millisecond of eye contact with Hero. 
That was a mistake.
Any doubt in Hero’s eyes vanished when they saw the complete and abject terror on Lover’s. “Yes, please, anything, just put them down safely. They haven’t done anything! You’re hurting them for no reason!” Other Villain frowned. “I wouldn’t say we’re hurting them at all! Are we hurting you?” they asked Lover, who was too lost to respond with anything other than a shiver. “We can come back to that question,” they said instead, chuckling slightly. 
Villain landed on the roof just in front of Hero. “If you try anything,” they warned, “just remember that Other Villain has Lover, and I’m not up there to catch anyone who falls.”
Hero nodded. 
Villain turned to the still flying pair and said, “I think we can go from here. Why don’t you take Lover a bit higher, we don’t want them getting any stupid ideas about walking away from a fall from this height.”
Other Villain obliged and went even higher, until Villain and Hero were specks on top of a building. 
Eventually, Other Villain mumbled something through an earpiece, said “that sounds reasonable,” and flew down with Lover. 
“How did they do?” Villain asked. “Still alive and everything? Good.”
Other Villain landed on the roof, letting Lover go. They stumbled, falling into Hero’s arms. 
Hero stumbled back, barely keeping them both upright.
Lover looked up at them, eyes wide in horror. “What did you do?” 
“Just what I had to do,” Hero said. “You’re worth more than some superpower, Lover.”
“Oh, your hero didn’t just give up their powers,” Villain said. “They gave up everything. We should have kidnapped you years ago, if it gets problems solved this quickly.”
Hero wouldn’t meet Lover’s eyes. “I gave them me. Everything about me.”
“I told you-”
“I told you, Lover, you’re more important to me than anything else. Even this city.”
They still couldn’t look Lover in the eye. 
“I’m sorry.”
By the next morning, the city belonged to the villains.

So I was in the tub earlier getting ready for a costco trip and I was hella inspired to write for the first time in ages like not trikey (Sorry hoes, enjoy my sims for now XD) but my Wallace and Gromit fic which spawned all the future shit you see on my AO3 (GO READ IT) and Fiction.net that I deleted when I ran for the hills in 2015 hahahahahahahahhahahmysoul.  ----- So, as a kid, when I first got into writing it was about Wallace meeting Victor Quartermaine’s daughter, Amy (I’ve grown up and just dubbed her Amelia cus I’m 25 now, I refuse to be that writer whose like noooo she has to be different), his only daughter, yes she was like 20-something and hella sweet on him but really hella evil yet Wallace married her anyway cus my fic, suck dick.  ANYWAYYYYYYYY: it was so shit and had all these weird Eastender-y plotlines like she was Wendoline’s half sister and Gromits mother thru some weird bloodshit Wallace did and it was just plain fucking shit and to this day it is the bane of my writer existence--HOWEVER! I want to bring it back, only better and realistic and not from the mind of a Wallace obsessed 10 year old.  I’m keeping the plot that she’s Victor’s daughter, Amelia and her older brothers, AKA, Victor’s sons, (Who are twins and loath Wallace so much because he’s older than their father and just wanna protect her to the ends of the earth). That’s a defo, of course I’m scrapping the weird side plots and bloodline twists cus hahahahahahahahah fucking christ my brain was a mess back then, still is but you know, improvement!  -------- So, at this point the plot is thus: Amelia is Victor’s kid, and despite dumping his ass harder than Joe Exotic dumps tigers on people, Campanula (Totty) still keeps in touch with his children out of motherly affection/pity as she knew their mother and everyone shared similar wealth circles, blah blah blah, especially as Victor is now a broken man stuck in crutches (The townsfolk really let him have it and that bunny suit did NADA to protect him) and tho she hates him, she wants to lend a caring hand, Tot’s a good egg.  Somehow, Wallace ends up having tea at Tottington Hall the same day as Amelia arrives to fetch some things for Hutch that were forgotten in his move to Quartermaine Manor as she became his new owner, falling for the wee rabbit boy and demanding to take him off her ‘aunts’ hands as she laid mention that he was a handful, being more human than bunny, giving Totty more time to dedicate to the proper buns.  As you can guess, she’s everything Wallace’s previous lovers weren’t, well, except for one thing, and her aloof, cat-like nature has the inventor on his toes every step of the relationship growth, which takes a long ass time since she is literally a human cat version of Gromit, that in itself leading them to be wary of each other and an overall disliking of Wallace until a trip causes her to laugh her boots off and open the beautiful young lady up to giving the man a chance at wooing her. Which he does, and their relationship becomes a Lana Del Rey music video that sends Gromit’s head spinning, having to juggle pups, (Yes, he and Fluffles tied the knot and have 2 year old puppies that wreck the house daily) Wallace’s habit of falling for problematic women and their latest business venture, it puts the dogs life on a rollarcoaster he can’t control and even if he could, has no clue how to.  This fic is obviously...mature, well, teen rated, kinda, I’ve grown out of that need for a sex scene in everything I write, but there are hints and it’s sorta sad watching Gromit realize he’s not the only one whose expanding life wise, that his master is human and his new love is...taking the wheel. JESUS HAS LEFT THE VEHICLE! AMELIA IS DRIVING NOW AND IT’S GETTIN’ BUMPY AF.  Because this is Wallace and Gromit, of course there has to be something wrong with the new chick other than being the daughter of the dude who tried to kill Wallace in the first place, and there kinda is, but it’s more in Gromit’s terms of evil, like she finalizes change, she’s very much in charge, determined and caring but sorta in a way to a lesser Disney villain, Amelia gets what she wants, will pay whoever to get it or do whatever it takes, well, to a degree until it just gets stupid then she takes out the problem altogether.  She’s like Piella and Totty together, at the same time, proceeding them.  I am gonna have a cinematic climax at some point but it’s not so much I CAUGHT THE KILLER, more WE’RE ON THE SAME PAGE I’M JUST MORE PSYCHO AND LIKELY TO GET IT DONE. Cat and Dog, literally, or mostly. One’s a person.
