Exhaustion

Another day had passed, and Sting couldn't take it anymore. He was no closer to finding Rogue than he had been before he had even learned of his disappearance. Right now, he and Rufus were going through a list of Sabertooth's enemies, as well as any enemies Rogue had personally made. He hadn't slept since yesterday morning and was running on caffeine and sugar.

That was probably obvious to Rufus, given that Sting was ranting about the kidnapper's motives: "…he's the sweetest guy who ever lived! Sure, he took down more than a few of these jerks, but only a monster would hold it against him!"

"Sting, I think you need to go to bed." Rufus stated, not looking up from one of the many binders on Midnight Rain. Sting slammed down his own binder, which held files on Harpy Claw.

"We need a list of all the monsters Rogue took out in the last… five! years." He mused.

"No, Sting. We do not need to go through a list of all the monsters. That… how shall I put it? Absolutely idiotic? Yes, I'll go with that. That's absolutely idiotic." Rufus brushed off his stroke of genius like it was a mere flight of fantasy.

"Bullshi-"

"I'm calling the princess if you don't go to bed right now." Rufus rudely interrupted him. "You're going to go insane."

Sting deflated. Rufus was right. "I'll crash on the couch." He compromised.

If you have achieved something, please remember to observe a mandatory period of basking in the warm glow of your achievement like a lizard on a stone, lest you teach your brain that effort is futile, actually, because it didn't get to enjoy its happy chemicals, so, naturally, nothing good ever comes of trying. (And no, avoiding punishment is not a reward!)

I recommend, like, 5% of basking time in relation to whatever time you invested into achieving the thing minimum. And if you can't make your own bask, friend-brought is fine (= tell your friends!).

Failed Escape

Rogue pulled a coin out of his pocket and carefully unscrewed the screws on the cuffs on his legs. His arms were still sore, and his wrists were bruised and bloodied. As such, he struggled to remove the screws, even with his coin/makeshift screwdriver.

He fumbled with the sealstone but realized that undoing it was a lost cause. He'd already wasted too much time. Aiden would come back soon.

He stumbled to his feet, forcing the door open with more trouble than usual. His shadow insisted he hurry up. Rogue told it to shut up.

The door gave way to a narrow stone corridor. With not other options, Rogue followed it, ears pricked for footsteps. He came across a door in the wall, but a quick glance told him it was locked. Further on, he came across another, where he heard footsteps. Quickly, Rogue hurried on, rushing for a corner and ducking around it. He saw a door at the end of the corridor and made for it. To his relief, it was unlocked. He burst through it, only to find Aiden.

Rogue decided that running wasn't an option. He charged at Aiden, grabbing a chair on the way. Aiden jumped to his feet, narrowly ducking out of the way of the swinging chair. It shattered against the bedframe and broke the mattress. Feathers exploded from it, prompting a sneezing fit from Rogue. Aiden tackled him onto the bed, holding a pocket knife to his throat.

"Miss me already, wildcat?" Aiden growled. Rogue slowly reached for his wrist, which was hard to do given that his hands were chained together. He almost made it, but the rattle of the chain alerted Aiden, who grabbed it and ripped Rogue's arms up over his head. "What do you think you're playing at?"

"I was trying to leave but you're room is in a stupid place. Where are the stairs anyway?" Rogue snapped.

"Don't worry about the stairs. You're not seeing them anytime soon." Aiden promised, getting up and dragging Rogue by the chain. Rogue stumbled after him for a moment before dropping to his knees and going limp.

"Really, Rogue? Are we really doing this?" Aiden sighed. Rogue blankly stared up at him, knowing he would pay for this but not caring. "Alright, then how about this: You stop acting like an absolute brat and you get to keep all your limbs."

"You need me in one piece." Rogue pointed out.

"We need you alive. But if you insist on testing your theory, I'll be happy to oblige." Aiden offered. Rogue snarled at him but got to his feet. "Good. Looks like I don't have to do anything permanent."

Rogue followed him without further resistance. He allowed himself to be tied to ceiling without complaint, hoping to quell Aiden's rage.

Some updated warrior cat women designs. Somehow out of all these designs, yellowfang is the one I had the least trouble drawing out.

Restrained

Rogue's arms ached. He hung from the ceiling, his toes barely touching the floor. Aidan circled around him, stepping over the chain that tied his legs to the wall. He stopped behind Rogue. Rogue tried to turn around, but Aidan grabbed him by the hair.

"Don't move. You don't want to get in more trouble, do you?" This guy was unhinged, and Rogue was the one hearing voices. Aiden loosened his grip and started running his fingers through Rogue's hair. "Well, little wildcat?"

"Why are you being such a creep?" Rogue exhaustedly asked him. He'd been tied to the ceiling for a while. Nearly a day, if he had to guess, with only short breaks. The bastard had dropped in on him once in a while, having taken over Rogue's care. He kept on mocking him, constantly calling him by pet names and acting like Rogue was some bratty kid. "What do you even want?"

"A creep? You're hurting my feelings, wildcat. I'm just trying to have some fun." He kept tugging at Rogue's hair. "Besides, you helped put my guildmates behind bar -not to mention the finger incident- so I think you're getting off easy."

Rogue huffed, resolving not to speak to him again. Aiden continued to speak to him, getting more and more frustrated as Rogue continued to ignore him. He started circling again.

After a while, Aiden stopped in front of him.

"Alright, you win. I'll tell you what I want." Aiden finally tried to compromise. "I want you to apologize. I'll let you down if you do." Rogue glared at him while he contemplated his response.

His arms still ached. Rogue decided to give in. He had no chance at escaping while restrained in that way.

"I'm sorry for biting your fingers off. I didn't mean to do that." Rogue apologized. Aiden grinned, letting him down.

"There we go." He smugly said. Rogue ignored it. "I'll leave you alone."

If you were forced to explain Fairy Tail lore and plot as accurately possible (from the things I've said) what would you say? (except you can pretend Sting and Rogue are the main characters to give you a slightly better chance)

Challenge accepted, but Rogue and sting arent the main characters, thats misinformation, and im better than that. Alright then lets get started, for all the newbies there, this is fairy tail lore (I will include what little things i've learnt from skipping dialogue in the game and stuff i've happened to learn:

A long time ago, there was this guy named zeref, and he had a brother, Natsu, whos part demon, part dragon and part human, thats when it all went wrong. Natsu died, and Zeref was really sad about that, he really liked natsu a lot, more then his own son (who resorted to violently jerking people off for attention), so Zeref did all in his power to bring back his brother, and eventually he did.

then his brother Natsu did a bunch of things i dont think i know anything about, but in the process, he made a bunch of friends, then found a world where everybody is the opposite of their normal world selves, like natsu is a total wimpy loser in this world and red ezra is a maid to the blue guy.

7 years later (those 7 years were spent somewhere else, not mentioned in canon, they left the opporiste world since then), they returned to fiore, where natsus guild Fairy Tail (fun fact: The name of the show acc comes from the guild name, Fairy Tail. Not many people know this), had completely fallen off, and Lucy had not paid rent in 7 years, so she was screwed too (until she wasnt). So the guild had to become famous again and strike back. So they did requests to get notoriety, and then did another quest, then yet another quest, then YET ANOTHER QUEST (I'm never completing the fairy tail game at this rate).

Then there was a training arc and a pool episode but im gonna ignore those since they dont matter to the canon so like who cares, its all just fanservice anyway, including the training arc. Self improvement fanservice.

ANYWAY now the tournament is happening and the team is all prepared, but the big team up top is the SABER TOOTHS lead by some old guy and STING EUCLIFFE WOOOOOOOH. So the tournament began and Yukino of saber tooth tried her best but got knocked out in the first round, but she shouldn't be blamed she tried her best and thats okay. Sting didnt feel the same way, he kicked her out and replaced her with minerva, who i still dont know a lot about except for the fact that she tortures people for fun, so like maybe sting just has a type.

Anyway, then after a while, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, 2 notable cat owners in the fairy tail universe, fight Fairy Tails very own Natsu Dragneel (Zeref cheers in background) and Gajeel, husband of some other character, professional thrower through rooves.

But first, Sting's backstory, a long time ago, he was adopted by a dragon because something happened to his real parents and idk, then he went forward 19 years in time i think and rogue is more important anyway. Rogue was also adopted by dragons, but he hated his previous name, so he went by a different name for a long time but i dont remember it so i'll just say he went by jared because thats the first name I could think of. Anyway, after a while, he changed his name back because he had a moment, then he found his cat, the most important character in all of Fiore (according to Rogue). He could never be separated from his cat, otherwise everyone would die and his mysterious shadow (who i'll call eddie) would take over and he'd kill everyone.

Anyway while I was saying that backstory, Natsu and gajeel were fighting sting (Rogue was afk) and while many blows were traded absolutely nothing happened. Then Natsu sent gajeel into the mines and the fight continued and eventually someone won.

Then as either revenge for losing or as a treat for winning, saber tooth decided to torture lucy for some reason??? i really dont get it apparently this is fanservice so it mustve been super freaky for lack of a better word, but Rogue doesn't like torturing because he's silly like that, so he walked away dramatically.

Then later an evil shadow possessed Rogue fought gajeel and he punched him a lot, but then he got thrown through the roof and LOST because hes a SILLY LOSER MEOW MEOW (according to @lilacharbour).

Afterwards, the leader of sabertooth blew up Stings cat with mind so Sting introduced him to a concept called docking (not the gay thing), and the leader guy died.

THEN EVIL ROGUE CAME BACK TO THE PAST AND FOUGHT EVERYONE and then he got sent down the river in a boat made of ice and gray probably tried to get himself killed while naked during the fight since apparently he does that a lot more than you'd think.

THEN THE SEX MAN ATTACKED and 3 really strong people fought him, Sting, Rogue and another character who shares a voice actor with a character in guilty gear i think maybe. could be wrong. and sex man was winning, until my boy sting ate up all the sex magic and KILLED HIM

then natsu and all killed the big bad Zeref (he killed dragons), the end. Oh yeah and sting and rogue touched balls and it was so gay, roll the credits.

Also a mini rant, Erza scarlet could be such a cool character and def my favourite if it weren't fairy tail with enough fanservice to make air conditioning go extinct for good, like come on, a red headed warrior character with sword attacks that she can control (i think), whats not to like? Though maybe im just saying that since most fictional characters i simp over have the hair colour around that area (like purples (that are closer to red than blue) and pinks and reds and stuff), not directly because of that but still, theres a pattern.

[dragongodryss]

Oh, yes. 100% true.

In a modern AU Rogue is 100% the type of person to buy himself presents for holidays/his birthday/etc. and pretend Frosch bought him it. Probably with a card and all (Frosch just happens to have very good penmanship for a cat)

To himself or to others?

Honestly it's on them for not asking any questions before that.

I indeed found this on TikTok ☝️🤓, I forgot I had this in my drafts :\

Guilt

Where could he be? Why had he left Rogue by himself?

Sting looked up at the rising sun through his window. He was exhausted from the day and two nights he'd spent searching the city. Now he was certain that Rogue wasn't there at all. He'd contacted the other guilds, who had promised to send search parties, or at least keep an eye out for him.

What was happening to Rogue right now? Was he even alive? He had to be. Sting didn't know what to do without him. He needed Rogue.

If only he had taken Rogue with him. He had suggested it, being unwilling to leave him behind. But Rogue had insisted on staying to work on the backlog of paperwork. More dearly than he had ever wished for anything else, Sting wished that he'd tried harder to convince Rogue to come with him. "Where are you, Rogue? I can't do this without you, darling." Sting asked to the empty space before him, the sunlight filtering in where Rogue was usually there to shield him from it. It was entirely coincidental. Rogue liked to sit on the windowsill to absorb sunlight in the mornings, whilst Sting preferred to get a few more minutes of rest in the shade Rogue provided. They usually ended up being late, since they would both fall asleep.

Did Rogue have sunlight, wherever he was? He doubted it. So it was only fair that Sting didn't get shade.

He needed to search for Rogue, but Minerva had insisted he get some rest. Did she not understand how serious this was? Rogue's life could be at risk, and she was forcing him to stay home! Did she not care about Rogue? He heard the key turning in the lock of his front door. At once, he leapt to his feet, before he realized that it wasn't Rogue scent that came from the doorway. It was only Yukino's. She was carrying food. "Sting?" She asked. She stopped when she saw the look of disappointment on his face. "I'm sorry! I was just dropping off some food. I didn't think you had the time to be cooking." "Can you convince the princess to let me look for Rogue?" He asked. Yukino shook her head. "No, and I wouldn't want to." She refused. Before Sting could get angry, she continued: "You need to eat and sleep, to make sure you don't miss anything important. We need to be clever about this, Sting." "…yeah." Sting surrendered, sitting back down. "Do you want me to stay here? And do you want me to keep taking care of the cats?" Yukino asked, voice brimming with concern. "No, I'm fine. I'll take care of the cats." Sting said, picking at his food. "Oh, thanks for taking care of them." "You're welcome." Yukino said.

And just like that, Sting was alone again. He went back to staring at the window as he ate, wishing that it wasn't what he was looking at.
