I don’t really know where to put all of this modern AU stuff, and it sort of doesn’t belong on the blog, so take it. Congratulations to anyone stumbling on this.

What Lies Beneath
Old fears surface in light of crushing darkness. (AKA fuck it we're doin it live.)
Spoilers for EoD: What Lies Beneath
There was a burning in her chest, in her throat, her lungs. It wasn’t unfamiliar- she’d spent most of her life struggling with her health, so this didn’t seem like it should be any different. And yet, something still felt… off about it. Every struggled breath brought with it a memory, the burning in her lungs punctuated by the voices she’d heard what felt like a lifetime ago.
Sieran’s voice, lamenting how she never should’ve believed in a child. Zojja, telling her how weak and frail and helpless she was. Taimi, angry at her inability to truly, genuinely, help either of them.
Slowly, though, other voices began to cut through the ones ringing in her aching head. Familiar ones. Nearer ones. Hands adjusting her small frame, undoing the tight wrap of braids at the back of her head to let them hang free.
“...have even come…?”
“...’s that damn jade bot? Yao-!”
“...sure you have her head. Not about to let my krewe chief down…”
“...don’t like how her breathing sounds, Gorrik…”
“...wish Commander Firstblood would come to…”
“...over her mouth and nose. Just like that, Rama!...”
“...hate that I keep having to do this…”
As everything grew louder, she became aware of more sounds and sensations. Someone holding her up, the pressure of the nebulizer mask against her face and the sickly sweet smell of the cool, medicine infused mist coming into her mouth and nose with every labored breath.
A hand, too slim for an asura and too small for a charr, squeezed her shoulder gently as she forced her eyes open. “There you are, Qirri.” It was Rama, cradling her carefully, offering a nervous grin as she stared bleary eyed up at him. “Breathe normal for a few minutes. Or… as normal as you can? Sorry. Still kind of new to this. Only the second time now that I’ve had to figure out how your little device works in a crisis.”
“Mmh.” Qirri squeezed her eyes shut for a moment or two, hoping it would shake away the lingering blackness at the edge of her vision or the anxiety that still curled deep in her stomach. She hated how soft and thin her voice sounded when she spoke like this, but Rama, Yao, and Gorrik were watching her expectantly. What came out felt raspy, throat burning on every word. “Where’s… where’s Garrus?”
Another hand on her forehead, this one Yao’s, removing a damp cloth that had been placed there. “Still out. He’s breathing a lot better than you are, though. Is the medicine helping?”
Slowly, she nodded, pushing herself so she could try to sit up on her own. Everything in her screamed that she shouldn’t, but the last thing she wanted was to be held like a child, even if Rama was only trying to help. Not that she got far. “...but… he’ll wake up… right?”
As Rama carefully adjusted his grip, keeping the device held up to her face, Gorrik put a hand on her arm. “He’ll wake up. I think it may have to do with size difference. You passed out before he did, and I think he also took in more of the haze than you did on account of the size of his frame and lungs compared to yours. It’ll just take a little more time to bleed out.”
“...okay.”
This time, Rama did help her up, transferring her instead to one of the bedrolls so she could sit up, holding the nebulizer in her own small, shaking hands. Everything felt like too much all at once, her long braids brushing against her back, the faint shaking her body couldn’t seem to cease, the burning feeling in her throat in spite of the cooled mist she was breathing in, the tightness of her chest- like a golem squeezing tight.
And for several moments, no one said anything. As Rama and Yao moved to check on Garrus where he lay, Gorrik sat next to her, gazing quietly in the direction of the two humans and the unconscious charr. It took a few moments, but finally, he shifted his attention back to her. “...so um… are you… okay? You both kind of freaked out in the cave. You were talking about someone named Sieran? And Zojja. Zojja I know, about anyway, but-”
“I just got disoriented.” She tried to make her tone as firm as she could, but with the way her lungs ached, it was a futile endeavor. “I… I just…” She trailed off, then lifted her head to gaze up towards the ceiling of the cave, condensation dripping like rain around them from the foliage sprawling across the jade. “...I don’t know, Gorrik. Whatever that haze is, it has some kind of hallucinogenic effect. I don’t know what I saw. Manifestations of my subconscious?”
When she paused to cough into her elbow, moving her nebulizer away from her face, Gorrik pressed a hand anxiously against her back. “Or manifestations of anxiety? Guilt?”
Qirri shook her head, moving the nebulizer back over her mouth and nose as the coughing fit eased. “Like I said, I don’t know. We’ll have to do more research. But the people I saw… Sieran was- she was my mentor when I first joined the Durmand Priory. She… died. At Claw Island. I was sixteen.”
“I heard stories about the carnage there. That’s incredibly young to witness something like that.” Gorrik rested his cheek against his hand, elbow on his knee. “I mean, I really can’t talk, considering I joined the Inquest at around that age, but…”
“That’s different.” Qirri’s eyes narrowed, ears pulling back. “I never… felt great, about leaving her behind. Leaving any of our mentors behind. Sieran. Tybalt. Forgal. They all died there because we weren’t strong enough. And then Zojja… she got badly hurt in Maguuma. No one knows where she is now. Some people think she didn’t want to… to die in Rata Sum. That she went back to where her mentor, Snaff, died to die there instead. But she got hurt because I wasn’t fast enough. Because we weren’t on top of everything like we should’ve been.”
“You can’t be everywhere at once. And you were still fairly young. Weren’t you also sick? I remember Taimi saying you had to go back to Rata Sum because your health faltered.”
Qirri felt her shoulders tense, biting back a snide remark. It wasn’t Gorrik’s fault. He hadn’t been there. Didn’t know how frustrating it was to have fought so hard to make sure she’d been there for all of her friends, only for it to backfire at the last moment, leaving her so sick they’d had to all but teleport her back to Rata Sum. “...yeah.”
Taking one last shaky, deep breath - one as deep as she could manage - she finally lowered the nebulizer, reaching up to pull her jade bot close so she could stash it. Gorrik watched her for a moment, then pushed to his feet. “...I should check in with Taimi. Let her know you’re up. And uh… breathing as well as you can, at least. Want me to help you over to Garrus?”
She glanced up briefly, then nodded, reaching up so Gorrik could take her hand and pull her up. It was just about effortless- he wasn’t necessarily strong, but she was small even now, and must’ve felt like nothing to brace as she staggered her way to sit down next to the charr, sniffling as she barked out another coughing fit.
It felt so much like when she was just barely sixteen, curled up next to the charr after he’d taken that awful hit on Claw Island, leaving one arm weak from necrotic damage. Did he blame her, as Sieran’s voice whispered everyone did to her in that dark cavern? Did he see her as weak, as sickly, as those bitter unspoken words from Zojja reminded her she always would be?
She could already hear Taimi fussing at Gorrik over the communicator, anxiously asking how everyone was, if she was breathing all right, did they need to come back… on and on.
Sniffling faintly, Qirri curled up on her side, head bunting up against Garrus’s shoulder.
That she could deal with later. Right now, he needed to wake up.

this 1 i will spoiler tag but while we’re on the topic of female characters, a strong expectation i had for this ep was that we would get some combination of joon, navan, kas, jory, caithe, and taimi back for wlw. let’s pause to acknowledge that the episode is called wlw. let it pass over and through you. anyway. since wlb was so conspicuously an all he & they party i felt so good about our odds of getting the girls back for this one. i really thought that was likely.

HURGGGRGRGRGG YES HELL YES
rita would absolutely, inadvertently destroy this man's whole career. he'd go to make some snippy remark about the ruby or something bc he's in a bad mood and isn't sure how to express it properly and without even looking up from her stream she'd just say "that's nice mista nureyev, but mista steel was way better at that bein-rude-to-disguise-the-fact-that-youre-scared-and-lonely-and-need-help-from-someone-you-love-and-trust stuff than you" and nureyev would just completely bluescreen on the spot. he would stay awake, staring at the ceiling for the next three nights thinking about that shit. then wonder if buddy taught rita all her secrets that time she took rita out for ice cream. nureyev never dares to make another snippy comment in her presence for fear that she will read him for filth again. rita only vaguely wonders once why mista nureyev isn't as mouthy as he used to be. juno never finds out about this incident, but definitely notices a sudden lack of rude comments in his conversations with nureyev.
and juno.... juno LOVES having people to take care of. I mean, yeah, bro is named after the literal goddess of protection and families!! honestly if he wasn't so smart and stubborn and dedicated to sleuthing, he'd probably make a fantastic nurse or social worker or therapist. he would low-key love getting to take care of nureyev and help him see why life is worth living again.
AND YES. nureyev and the overblown gestures my beloved- bowing to rita, offering to run away with juno hours after meeting him, disguising himself as a prison guard to help break out his family, indebting himself for slip for life- he cannot be subtle in his guilt-ridden gratitude to save his fucking life!!!! such theater kid energy!!!!! and I almost wonder if it's because he grew up poor: maybe showing your gratitude with an overblown gesture was considered a social norm if you received something important but didn't have an item or money to give in return on brahma. who knows? anyway the point is that yeah, being able to engage in that kind of language of gratitude and love in a more healthy way with small tokens as apologies for small fuck ups would be incredibly healing. I gotta imagine both rita and juno gradually work up a collection of small items that nureyev pickpockets and hands to them as part of his apologies. coins, small knives, pressed flowers, snacks, makeup items, rita ends up with a lot of cool computer chips, juno gets a gun cleaning kit once, they both end up with half-a-dozen random hair ties. very magpie/crow like behavior from nureyev.
hehe scenario. jupeter coming out the other side of All That with a bit of 'wow you're just straight up a bit codependent but maybe that's actually the best-case scenario for you right now carry on fellas'
oh they've Had Their Talk in the aftermath, and, okay, it's agreed that they are Not Doing Romance because Nureyev needs Time To Grieve and it would be better to Take The Pressure Off Of Being In A Relationship and they will Reevaluate when Nureyev's had a chance to be a guy who doesn't have to worry about where his next meal is coming from. but also Like Hell is Juno just going to Leave Him Alone after all this. and the result is that they spend the Big Crash just. completely unhinged about each other. Nureyev's shot past 'feeling vulnerable around Juno scares the shit out of him' and well into 'raw nerves and gaping wounds and compound trauma and feeling vulnerable about literally anything and everything all the time and being around Juno is integral to not spiraling into the abandonment hell vortex'. meanwhile Juno's like 'holy shit Nureyev is letting me be there for him. this is already incredible progress'
u think they were insufferable on the Carte Blanche well. on the Carte Blanche Nureyev was still working on things like trusting Juno enough to let him back in at all and he Had An Image To Maintain and lots of Private Stuff to Deal With and Juno was still figuring out how not to be a prickly ass all the time and 'when is it appropriate to give your bf his space when your default mode is to Investigate Shit' and none of that is a going concern right now
'sometimes you gotta be a little bit mentally ill to handle the mental illness' they have so much separation anxiety and they are clipping their carabiners together. hooking pinky fingers and following each other when one needs to do something in the next room. where's Nureyev? sitting in Juno's lap again. his ass is experiencing 'nervous system doesn't know how to respond to the sudden removal of constant crushing dread and just goes fucking haywire at unpredictable intervals'. he gets random-ass panic attacks and there's only so much the breathing exercises and the grounding exercises and self-soothing techniques can do compared to 'Juno is here and he's fine and he's safe and he is more than happily providing prolonged physical contact' to get him to calm down on a physiological level
meanwhile Juno's like 'i chased this idiot across half the galaxy because he wouldn't ask for help and had to deal with him being all stone-faced and cold about it, do I look like i mind that he's clingy now? a lady does not need his personal space at this time. a lady is living for this. a lady is also maybe feeling clingy have u considered that'
everyone who isn't rita (idek who. melee? the other vivopolis refugees??) is assuming they are just getting a very bad grade in taking it slow and are barely humoring them about it. and neither bothers with denying the boyfriend allegations but it's not bc it's true it's they're just. too exhausted to get defensive about it
rita: and i mean they ain't actually smooching too loud in the kitchen or whatever
melee probably: he just came out of Juno's room wearing Juno's shirt
juno: he's a thief that's his shirt now
(12 hours earlier:)
nureyev: (shows up to juno's room at 3am) im sorry for waking you i had nightmares about [the bomb/the carte blanche raid/dokana capturing you] i just needed to see that you were alive and make sure im in the reality timeline and then i will go back to-
juno: get in loser we're watching bad cops
rita: hi mista' n do you want some of this blanket
nureyev: that's very kind but im afraid im
juno: yeah hold up he's like really sweaty im gonna get him a clean shirt
nureyev: you really don't need to-
juno: how are you even still standing up when you're shaking like that
nureyev: that is. an excellent question
juno: anyway welcome to the club i fired rita like an hour ago bc i had nightmares about her dying on the asteroid
rita: i had one where i was gettin chased by this big stompy plant monster with lotsa teeth and i had to distract it by throwing all my snacks behind me and then i was outta snacks and then i was up getting more snacks when mista' steel fired me
rita: you know i think only reason i ain't got separation anxiety about mista' steel is because we spent all that time in the ruby together while we were chasin' after you and that gets a gal over it real fast
juno: thanks rita :P

fool me twice
by tinuviel_tinuviel
Juno hated road trips. Absolutely despised them. He decided that about eleven hours ago, when he got arrested and lied to by his oldest friend, robbed and ghosted by the love of his life, and then stuck in a car with both of them during a manhunt that would possibly last the rest of their lives.
The good news: no one had seized control of the Ruby 7, stolen the Curemother Prime, or stabbed Juno in the back in the last, oh, eleven hours. The bad news: literally everything else.
He was going to lose his fucking mind.

AO3 tag game!
tagged by @dxppercxdxver
ao3 name: nicodemons
fandoms: Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, Supernatural, Detroit: Evolution (DBH fan film) and Paradisa. I used to have a Sherlock fic up but I wrote it when I was 14 and the internet doesn't need to see it anymore
number of works: a whopping SIX
work I spent the most time on: "What Lies Beneath" has been a WIP since like June. "Deviancy Opens So Many Doors..." is longer right now but it took me like two months because it was 2020 and I was literally not doing anything else.
work I spent the least time on: I think I wrote "Paradisa Is Wherever You Are" in like half an hour. It's not very good.
longest work: "Deviancy Opens So Many Doors (And Not All Are Kind)" AKA DOSMDANAAK. 38k. How do I do that again please
shortest work: the Paradisa fic, but "what once were stars..." is less than a hundred words longer
most hits: "What Lies Beneath." I was very early to the game
most kudos: also "What Lies Beneath." I'm actually really floored by the response to this fic
total word count: 55,896
favorite work of my own: I really feel like "What Lies Beneath" comes from a lot of growth for me as a writer and I've been having a good time with it. I'm really proud of "what once were stars" as well.
fic you want to rewrite/expand on: I swear I am trying to finish WLB I just have been so busy with school and work. But I miss my girls.
share a bit of a wip or story idea you are planning on:
From the next chapter of WLB:
Aloy squeezes her eyes shut as the images return to her—Alva, Beta, Seyka, dust in a dead wind—and she clutches the fabric over Seyka’s back, solid and real, and rides out the wave of sick dread that passes over her and settles in the pit of her stomach. She counts rise and fall of Seyka’s chest. Living and continuous breath.

I thought of a funny/sad post-credits kind of scene thing, after WLB and the CB being abandoned, about Nureyev actually being in the vents and has absolutely no clue as to what's going on, just that someone's on board who shouldn't be on board, so he hid away with the Curemother things.
So the ship is empty. There's none of the usual sounds that accompany a place filled with people, just the soft humming of the ship's engines and thermostat. There's a faint smell of something burnt hanging in the air, familiar yet unsettling, laced with something that reminds of singed flesh and hair.
A panel on the ceiling creaks and shudders and then pops open. For a few moments, it yawns empty and dark into the ship. Then a face peeps out, a man's face with rectangular glasses and the pale skin of someone who hasn't been in sunlight for a long while. The face pulls away, and then the rest of the man drops down to the carpet soundlessly. There's a case strapped to his back, a plain wooden box just the right size for an instrument. Or several small objects.
He makes a slow, silent circuit through the empty ship, ducking into rooms and looking about as if there's someone hiding out of his view, ready to jump out and yell, fooled you! But no, there well and truly is no one around. Eventually he comes to a stop in the last room. The whole room is trashed, more than simply messy with papers and objects tossed to the ground and smashed underfoot, bedsheets thrown off and trampled by various feet. He stands in the doorway, shifting from side to side unconsciously for a long moment, then turns away.
This time his footsteps echo, loud and grating in the silence, getting faster and faster and more frantic as he flits through room after room.

Juno sits at the dinner table and argues that Nureyev isn't scary at all and that they just need to trust him, and all the while Peter's just standing there all gloomy behind him with his spindly fingers on Juno's shoulders and ink-spill hair down and covering his face like some monster from a low-quality stream.

One of my favorite bits about this new episode is the whole scene when Jet throws up on Juno and he sounds so nonchalant about it. Like, 'this is a daily occurrence for me'. I know it's because he's busy thinking about Ruby's real form and what it showed them, but I just think it's funny that he absentmindedly goes, "oh, oh boy, this is bad." Like, that's a disproportionate amount of calm for someone covered in someone else's sick.

"identified members"?
Does this mean that Peter is counted as part of the Aurinko Crime Family but they don't know his name or anything, or is it that no one knew he was ever with them?

My #1 post of 2022
Juno having piercings and tattoos is a top-tier headcanon and he'd look so good in any kind of facial piercing, but I was wondering: what about Peter Nureyev? What piercings would he have? Or tattoos?
(yes I realize his entire schtick is that he has no discerning features that could stand out and once he walks away from you you'd be hard-pressed to find him again, but bear with me here)

@danishsweetheartmp3 hi I wanna eat your tags they’re so good cuz yes!
Tumblr media
[image description: tags that read
#i think sasha is the extreme outcome of juno’s self destructive tendencies in s1 that he’s beginning to unlearn in season 3 #like if juno had never fallen in love with nureyev or let himself trust rita or met The aurinkos #wlb part 2 is so important for their relationship because sasha doesn’t believe juno to be capable of change #she still sees him as the guilty martyr that she calls out in the day that wouldn’t die #they Know each other so well they have the same upbringing #but juno is trying to work on himself while sasha attempts to erase herself from the world by killing sasha wire and becoming director w #and how sasha further immersed herself in The System whilst juno grows further opposed to it #they r literally so fascinating to me like AUGHHH juno trying to save sasha at the end of s4 despite sasha trying to kill him several times #and how MICK factors into their relationship too??? i will go crazy in s5 #penumbra
/end image description]
Someone should write an analysis of the parallels between Juno and Sasha. Their need to prove themselves, their obsession with Doing the Right Thing, the loss of a sibling that they blame themselves for, etc. Would be really interesting if someone analyzed their characters!

Hello author! Can I ask you to make a trigger warning list in detail? The image of that one Daphne scene at the end was not good for my imagination 😭 The chapter was surprisingly graphic towards the end
ohhhh i didn't really think it was that graphic at first 💀 my bad but yeah, i'll update the trigger warning list in the next update! okay but now i'm wondering if i made the story too gory, i should've stuck that with WLB 😞

actually i’m gonna make my own post about this instead of just throwing it in someone’s tags
i’m willing to bet the ruby only has these crazy famous getaway abilities because the unnatural disaster pushed the limits of physics daily.
no one told ruby that the pelican bootleg was physically impossible to pull off so she just did it when her trusted driver was sure they could. she became a legendary getaway car because that's what jet needed and expected. and she fills expectations because she’s trying to blend in, so she just keeps being extraordinary in this specific way.
that’s why ruby only reveals herself to juno at the end of WLB. she clearly has a lot of capabilities implicit in being able to change her form at will, but she’s a getaway car. it’s the getaway. that’s why she turns up on neptune to pick up jet, m’tendere, and rita without prompt, as well. the getaway car needs to be there for the getaway, so she puts herself in the right place to make that happen because she is a Good Getaway Car who Fulfils Her Function. season 4 is going to have to involve juno teaching her how to be other things.
and, yknow, maybe be a less conspicuous getaway car. which brings me to my next point
Tumblr media
[id: the brain expanding meme, reading: “No one would look for a green car if they were trying to find the ruby-7″ (tiny brain), “Juno is red-green color blind” (normal brain), “the Ruby is red-green color blind” (glowing brain), “Jet just likes the color green and Ruby likes Jet” (enlightened brain). /end id]
my hot take: ruby was a red car and then jet stole her and jet likes green so she changed her paint job on his request and he has no memory of this because he was extremely high. when space-fantasy true crime fans point out the inaccuracies in streams about the unnatural disaster they always get all “well actually” if the ruby 7 is red but little do they know.
(original meme from the ruby-is-green reveal by @themightynein​)
