@pure-plum Latest Weal and Woe chapter was so sweet I swear my soul melted a bit from reading it :'3 Honestly Eclipse seems so nervous there, I genuinely just want to hug that anxiousness out of him xD
Tho here I made him look a little more malicious. Gotta think twice about that hug hehe :>
Rolling around in a sand pit of ‘Weal and Woe’ and ‘Double Toil and Trouble’ (by @pure-plum and @naffeclipse respectively) and screaming. Something about these two AUs drives me absolutely insane and I want to squish warlock!y/n and witch!y/n together like two marshmallows.
@pure-plum ~ Ya went to bed before i could flail this at you~ uwu It didn't turn out QUITE LIKE in the chapter but~
Oh little traveler, what have you agreed to, I wonder...
She squeezed the flame of the candle between her forefinger and thumb, listening to the sizzle of it becoming smoke in her fingertips. With it gone there was nothing left to illuminate her office but a large, ominous full moon glowing white. It sat low, appearing to take up the entire sky.
Sonono watches as the slight tinge of smoke spirals into the air before a breeze wafts its way through the room and dispels it. It caresses her as she breathes out and falls back in her chair. Her head tilted back as she looked on the moon that loomed through the window.
Her thoughts, briefly, were gone.
Empty.
Her return to reality was a shock in that way of waking from a nap one didn’t plan to take. How many bells had passed? Hells, was it even the same night? The chronometer ticked away in the shadows of the room, out of her sight, and she wasn’t quite far enough returned to care to go check. Still on the cusp of that moment of thoughtlessness. Still on the cusp of succumbing to a blank stare and a calm night. If she could just stay still long enough to drift again...
A gentle touch, a blanket, all too enough to drag her back completely.
“Ugh,” She groaned, the first word spoken since the sun set. Her throat suffered with it- as did Ardeth as he froze in place. Like he could pretend to be a coat rack and she’d simply drift back off.
No such luck this time.
“Buttering me up before the trip, huh?”
Ardeth looked away. She wondered how many times he’d done this exact routine.
“Just grab me something to drink, okay? I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting here-” She looked over at the discarded book. It had fallen spine-up onto the floor. She was quite certain she’d still had it last she checked. “-Apparently for a while. It, uh, hurts to talk. Be quick, yeah?”
She watched as he scampered off- skittered off? How do you describe a xaela man speeding off like he’d been caught doing something he shouldn’t- and sighed.
Her short stint of thoughtlessness had felt like a ship rolling underneath her. The moon, a beckoning beacon in a cloudless sky.
She wanted to go that badly, huh? To wander off somewhere new? Leaving behind all the baggage and the arduous struggles of her bad decisions.
Or just take them in tow and examine them all under different stars. Maybe that would make them more discernible. Find a way to tackle them, then. She hated how often her thoughts turned towards the same old aches.
She held up a hand as Ardeth returned with a mug. It was warm and smelled faintly of cinnamon. The steam tipped over the edge of it and curled about her nose.
She breathed it in deep and leaned back in her chair.
The moon hid behind the clouds as the morn rose from its bed.
Send me asks and tell me why your favorite character is your favorite.
Why do you like them? Whether you self ship or not, and if you do you can tell me more. Tell me stories and memories and joys or sorrows. What comforts they bring, what darkness they illuminate for weal or woe.
(You don’t have to pick just one. I don’t mind reading about more. Can be OCs too! )
Naff I hope you know I am absolutely loving your Cryptid AU fic so far and our new secret demon best friends!! XD <3 Work's kicking my butt but I have an idea I wanna draw for you but I must ask first! Would ghosts be a thing our hunter might run into?
Ahh, thank you, Plum!!! ♥ I'm so happy to hear that ahh! ♥
ALJSDFAF AYO?? 👀👀
Oh yes. And, ah, we might run into ghosts a lot sooner than you think *wink wonk*
It's very funny having mutuals in far away time zones and also having a very bad sleep schedule fjdjd Every time I don't realize it's 3am and then suddenly I'm like 'oh, I see they're awake! I am passing the baton of consciousness to them now it's in good hands good night : ))'
