#“WAIT WAIT NO 3 IS FOOL. WE ARE THE WOLVES.”

[dramatic-dolphin]

god i LOVE playing fool in wolvesville. i was over there helping the wolves along just for fun (they were losing, they need someone else in their corner), but everyone got suspicious of me when i hurriedly told them to stop voting 8 (a wolf) because they could be fool.

they went "huh why were you so concerned about voting 8? could it be that you're a werewolf and KNOW who is fool? 🤔" and voted me out. lol.

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Hi!! First of all, thank for all your work and still being here!

Second, can I ask for Hale family recs, like they’re alive and well and they’re a big part of the story.

Thank you!!

Hi anon! @kevaaronday made this list for you!

Divided We Stand by KouriArashi (29/29 | 156,742 | Mature | Sterek) Derek is being pressured by his family to pick a mate, and somehow stumbles into a choice that they didn't expect and aren't sure they approve of....

No Homo by orphan_account (12/12 | 84,092 | Explicit | Sterek) Stiles' sophomore year starts something like this:

3 FourLokos

+ 1 peer-pressuring cat

- 1 best bro to end all best bros

= 1 Craigslist ad headline that reads "str8 dude - m4m - strictly platonic".

Derek is the fool who replies.

The Price we Pay by Gia279 (37/37 | 66,603 | Teen | Sterek) Twelve years after inadvertently stopping Kate Argent from burning the Hale pack alive, Stiles is sleepwalking again, dragged unwillingly to witness horrible accidents, floods, house fires, and other disasters. He wakes, confused and blindfolded, at the incidents with power rising sharp and exhilarating in his chest, and he doesn't know how to stop it. Is he the one causing these horrible things or is he just there to witness them?

Derek has been curious about the magic that saved him and his pack for years, and when Stiles's powers manifest again, he's determined to figure it out. With the whole of Beacon Hills being thrown into chaos and Stiles, apparently, just on the edge of that chaos, Derek finds himself being drawn to fix it all and keep Stiles out of the danger that keeps calling to him.

We Met, We Loved, We Made by Fogsy_Feel (3/3 | 56,820 | Explicit | Sterek) The Hales are the real American dynasty. Pinnacles of wealth. A powerful pack fiercely protective of their own, with all the resources to do it. They don't take kind to strangers infiltrating their ranks...Which means they definitely won't take kind to a Polish twenty year old marrying their oldest son. Stiles knew all this for the most part, but when you find the one? Well then all that drama suddenly seems inconsequential.

— Derek doesn't know what he expected from Poland. Maybe some great food and some less great snow? He certainly hadn't expected to meet the most annoying person he'd ever come across. Nor did he expect to fall in love and marry him, not all of a month after meeting the guy. Stiles is strange. He's weird and a little mean. He's probably Derek's soulmate. Who really knows. It's all progressing a little fast. He wouldn't change it for the world

Marking Against Instinct by fullmoontonightt (1/1 | 44,620 | Mature | Sterek) The guy in front of him is looking around the shop with interest, letting his eyes scan over the flash art on the walls. He's beautiful and Derek's wolf purrs in his chest, wanting to get closer. He frowns when he realizes the guy is human.

Derek faces him, eyes serious. “You know this is a wolves only shop right?”

Alpha Derek Hale has had his wolves only tattoo shop for years. Before Stiles Stilinksi walked in, asking him for help with a tattoo, he'd never thought about how a single tattoo could change his life.

One More Again by HelloWhyTheFuckAmIHere (16/16 | 22,238 | Not Rated | Sterek) When a strange man appears in the Hale Pack territory with an unusual proposition for Stiles and Lydia, Stiles is unable to resist going back in time to stop the Hale House fire. 

Even after a few bumps in the road, Stiles finds himself in the past with one nearly-insurmountable goal - getting Talia Hale and the rest of her family to trust him with their lives.

Don't know how to reach you when you get like this (waiting for you to come home) by dearericbittle (1/1 | 21,339 | Teen | Sterek) Senator Talia Hale is going to be the first werewolf president. She is also his mother’s best friend, who’s in desperate need of a friendly mage to help her break the curse on her children. Stiles likes a challenge - and the free vacation in DC for his parents.

Chicken Soup for the Incredibly Fragile Human Soul by aurevell (1/1 | 3,029 | Gen | Sterek) Stiles comes to the Hale house to cram for a test with Cora as planned. Unfortunately, he's definitely coming down with something.

Even more unfortunately, no one in the entire Hale family seems to know what to do with a human who has a cold.

The Wrong Fake Identity | Twisted Wonderland [pt.5]

part 1 Part 2 part 3 part 4 <part 5> part 6 part 7

[Chaos ensues]

˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙　✩　*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙˚*

Azul is waiting patiently, seated in his office as he tap his feet.

“How long can they take? ..”

“Don’t tell me that bastard Jade and Floyd is stealing them for themselves.” The thought of that make him shot up his soft cushioned seat as the rush through grabbing his coat, hat, and walker. 

“Must i be the only one who do the job?”

Just halfway through the room his door slammed open.

“Azul, Shrimp-cat is here~”

“O what’s this?” Jade chuckled

“Are you losing your faith on us?” He smirked

“Ehem.. no i simply thought you are late, and of course i have to greet our esteemed guest.”

“Of course, we are sorry for our late arrival. Y/n is here.”

You ears peeked out of Jade’s shoulder before you head. You had been changed to octavinelle uniform, curtesy of Jade whom had said the Scarabia uniform is going to make you catch a cold, how kind is this eel.

“Oo! Azull!! Hello!!” You are carried piggy back by jade.

It seems the cupid is very busy today ad he kept shooting arrows at all these wolves you meet. Give him a break pleaseee..

“Ehem..” Azul cough trying to gain his composure back.

“Now.. how would you like to stay in Octavinelle?.. i had all the documents here and of course a scroll for you to sign consent.” He pushed you to the seat, he then walked over to the seat across from you pulling out the documents and of course the golden scroll. 

Jade and Floyd sandwiched you to your seat. 

You are just happy, because the close proximity just warms you up. 

“Hmm… i’ll think about it..” you nonchalantly answered. 

“ think about it, we will feed you, give your daily brushing, Jadi will even massage you, all you need to do is work for monstro lounge and stay with us.”

“Hmm.. i got a lot of promising offer today you know.”

“Then how about this, i will give you a sample, let today be a trial for you.”

“ Alright!”

You could see azul grabbing his feathered pen and writing something.

That feather pen swish and swings, gaining your focus. You slitted eyes following where ever they go.

“A.. y/n! What are you…?!” you hoped onto the table as you try to catch the pen. Azul shocked as he tries to keep you away from the pen. He put his pen up high away from you.

“Hey.. no! bad! Its dangerous!”

You are to focused on the feathered pen you pouched to where ever the pen is, disregarding any safe precaution at all This caused the chair to tilt up before falling down, Azul holding your waist as he could feel the chair falling. Azul fall to his back joining the chair and you landing on top of him waist held in an embrace.

You managed to catched the feathered pen though!

You start to sit up on top of Azul pridefully grinning as you show them you catched your prey. Azul is fozen, heart beating at a 1000000 Mph. The things you did to him. Flushing fool he has become as he stammered unable to form eligible sentences, his poor brain running while, The chest that is pressed into his face whist you both fall and now you sitting above him.

“AAaaaaa…” he covered his flushing face. Unable to take it anymore, he wished to crawl back to his octopot.

Jade and Floyd shocked expression turn into an amused one.

“Ehh~ Azul, no fairr! I also want them to squeeze me like that! Y/n, Y/n Squeeze meee! Squeeze me!” Floyd whined picking you up as he hold you in his embrace. This boy is going to squeeze you tight for being too adorable.

“Ahahaha, would you look at that, you had made Azul’s face resembles a boiled octopus.” He approached his brother who is hugging you from the bad while carrying you like a plushie, he poked your face.

“it will be more fascinating when you are around.”

You dreaded that hug time is over as you wiggle out of his hold, running away from them with the feathered pen.

“Waitt..!!” Azul saw your fleeting form, but it is too late you had gone away.

“ Jade, Floyd after them.”

“ Of course, Azul.”

“Yeahh, I still want more cuddles..”

“it seems like they definitely need a collar.” Azul sigh

“for ownership reason too of course.” He chuckle as he open the second drawer of his desk, there lay a pretty purple and blue tosca collar with a shiny golden conch for you to wear. Don’t question him why he had gotten it, for the record he just does.. ehem…

“just you wait..”

Now to wonder where you are, You had decided you need a well deserved nap on a comfy spot, which is on top of the drawer for metal plates used for cooking meals. You smack the bowls blocking your way as you lay down ready to take a good well rested nap.

“ A! There she is~ look Jade they are resting on top of the drawer.” Floyed mused.

“ Oh my look at the mess you have made!”

“y/n get down this instant.” Azul sternly demanded.

“ no!”

Then comes the spray bottle.

“Myahh!!”

“come down or ill spray more of it.”

Growing irritated you see your surrounding founding more metal plates and bowls, then an idea pops your mind, mischevious smile plastered on your face. You grab smack them near the edge.

“y/n..”

“no..NO”

“ Don’t you dare!”

CLANGGGG!

You had smack them strong enough to land on top of the octopus’s head.

Jade and Floyd started laughing of course before you also smack these bowls on top of their head. Laughing menacingly above,

“Oh what a brave cat you are, So brazen enough to do such a thing.”

“Maybe we should teach you one or two about who is on top of the food chain~”

“A well deserved lesson indeed.”

You had realized you fucked up as the two eels trying to climb up to where you are, it is not at all difficult for them of course since they are basically large and tall monsters.

You shrieked as you look for a way out, then you see Azul.

“ What ever you are thinking Sto—” You puched towards him of course landing you a couple of water spray but it is a better faith than being in the hands of the tweels.

Azul has fallen into his back with the water spray as you pounced out of the way towards the door.

“Waitt!! Don’t runn!!”

“Is this a game of chase? You want to play cat and mouse? More like eel and cat? Hahaha~”

“if the esteemed guest want to play, we need to mused then don’t you tink so Floyd.”

“Of course~”

You bolt as fast as you can away, out of the mirror and into a net..?

“Ooo! Look the prey has landed into the net!” Ruggie said.

You are left speechless and confused.

“Now be a good prey and silently come with me alright, Shishishi…. admit your defeat, Kitty.” He carried you still on the net, “Now we better move quickly, don’t want that tweels to gang up on me now.” He ran with you on the net, thrown over his back, as he ran and jumped to Savanna dorm.

✲꘏ ꘏ ꘏ ꘏✲

Meanwhile with Azul,

“Ah, where can she be..” Azul annoyed as the tweels come back empty handed. Poor Azul he hasn’t even seen you in the collar he brought for you.

✲꘏ ꘏ ꘏ ꘏✲

Meanwhile in Savannaclaw,

“A.. ruggie, Good you have taken the kitten home.”

“ Give them these.”

“ okay!”

You are pushed into a room with savannaclaw dorm set clothes and are locked there until you changed out of your monstro lounge uniform.

Once you finish you knock to be let out of the room,

“I knew you’d suit better with our uniform, afterall we pack stick together right, Ruggie.”

“tots!”

Ruggie has been wanting you to move to savannaclaw ever since the overblot incident, He find Leona to be docile around you, distracted by you, making him do less work, Not only that you helped him with chores too, your presence really give him that fuzzy warm feeling.

“but its coldd, your uniform have no sleeves.” You shivered.

“come here.” Leona embraced you as to share body heat.

“Leona, What should I do with this fishy clothes.”

“Hmm, give them to me.”

“King’s roar!” The clothes that has just been placed into his hand turned into sand.

“Ruggie put these sand into a box and kindly send them to that octopus. We need to be courteous, afterall, they did give us something precious. I will go back to sleep”

“Shishishi.. Roger that.”

The sand was placed neatly on a colourful present box before being shipped away to the merfolk.

“Now-“

BANGGG!

Leona and Ruggie turned their head towards the source of the loud voice, questioning whatever the hell that is. Ears perked up and in a tense formation.

“I knew it must’ve been you!” Azul crossing his arm, he was accompanied by Jade and Floyd.

“ Oo.. you are right on time, we were just going to send you a gift.” Leona smirked.

“ A gift you say?”

“ Ruggie..”

Chuckling ruggie give him the colourful present.

“ Go ahead open it..”

Azul eyes went wide as he open the box.

“ What’s this? Sand? Don’t tell me!”

He then look up to see u in savannaclaw uniform

“ How brazen of you, Jade, Floyd it seems we got some pesk in our way.”

“ Don’t worry Azul we will deal with then in a breese.”

“Yay we got to play with sealion and shark sucker! Azul, you don’t mind if I go a bit rough on them right?”

“ Not at all give, play rough all you want.”

“ Come at me!”

The octavinelle and Savannaclaw student are occupied on striking each other leaving you alone and distracted by the flying you. You went on your way following the be, Out of the mirror…

Oh Look! A trail of tarts? Ohh!! Cookies too! Is that tiny cupcakes?

You tried the bite sized tart left in your path,

“ MY GOD!” star shines in your eyes at the familiar flavour burst.

The strawberry flavour really mixed with the custard and the crust! You then followed the trail, collecting and eating each bitesize treat going into a mirror, into a garden, then a box filled with even more treats!

“ OHH Look at that! You approached the box looking around if somebody is near, Maybe it belonged to someone. After a while you realized that you saw nobody, you couldn’t just leave the treats left for the ants to eat! Those delicious treats don’t deserve that! You then getting inside it box before you start to eat the delicious bite sized treat,

“NOW!”

CLANGG!

The box turned into a cage before the wooden that kept tha cage up was removed abruptly leaving you stuck inside the cage.

“ HUHHH!! A TRAPP!!!”

“Well lokey look, the greedy curious kitten falls into a trap.” The red headed man step out from the bush.

“ I can’t blame them, afterall, trey’s baked goods are to die for!” an oranged head man popped out from the same bush.

“It’s nice of you to think that way.” The glasses guy chuckled as he also walked away from the bush.

“ I can’t believe it! You trap me like this!! Let me go~~” you cried.

“not with such unruly outfit of course. We cannot go to a tea without dressing up properly, “ Ah..look at what they did to you, Those Savannaclaw doesn’t know how to properly dress you! Everybody know heartlabyul colours match your completion better,Trey.”

In an instant your clothes turn into the one that matched the heartslabyul uniform,”

“OH!”

“ we would get you a real clothes instead of a magic one but there seem to be a delay in the production so wait patiently alright.” Riddle said.

“oooo?!”

“ I knew it the heartslabyul uniform suits you the best! We have to take lots of picture together, I want to show you around to the people following me on magicam!” he excitedly took out his phone.

“ That is true, The heartslabyul dorm do suits you very much, Its very stylish on you!” trey said

“ Now that, that is settled lets the unbirthday party Start!”

The cage now removed and you take Riddle extended arm as he guide you to the table filled with more cake and pasteries, much to your delight.

“you should try this tea with exactly  cube of sugar.”

“ I made this bitesize caked, I added candied violets to it, I hope its exactly your taste.”

“ Say cheese!”

The three of them fawn over you and spoil you, They cannot get over the way your eyes light up and ears perked up when trying different desserts and pastries, getting hand feed by Riddle is definitely a plus plus. An thus you are, a fancy spoiled cat.

“Nyaa HOoo!”

“ARGHHHH!!” You jumped up from your seat into riddle’s arm, who was already standing startled by the Sudden voice as well.

“ Che’nya! I told you to use the door like a normal person.”

“ Hahaha, what is the fun in that? I see you have gained a new cat in town.”

He floats over you.

“HUP!” He whisked you away from Trey’s strong arm.

“ A cute one too!”

“ Riddle you won’t mind if I take her back to RSA, Right?”

“ NO way! y/n is a NRC student not an RSA and never will be an RSA student!” Carter exclaimed.

“ Awhhh! But im sure Neige would really appreciate it, especially since he can’t shut up about y/n since the SDC Event

“ ABSOLUTELY NOT! VIL would also most definitely disagree with this!” riddle face start to go red at the mention of him taking you so far away to the RSA.

“Che’nya we called you just to help y/n adjust to being a cat beast-man” trey intervined, trying to diffuse the situation.

“ Ohh I see, new to the cat life aren’t yaa~”

You nodded.

“ Okay first, you place your hand on the middle of your face like this.”

You followed his instruction.

“ and bend your finger like this.“

you bend your finger.

“ and that is how you scratch your nose~”

You could swear you hear the ceramic of Riddle’s teacup crack as his face is flushing redded and redder in anger.

Trey sighed as he put his hand to hid face as if expecting the result.

“ EH! Everybody know that is how you scratch your nose! I thought you would give them something more educational, or like something that we human’s doint have! Like I don’t how how to maintain your animal ears to be as perfect and clean, or how to groom your tail?”

“ Ehh we basically do things that same as you are. We don’t do anything special,, plus they are not the same kind of cat beast man as I am.”

“ Haa, I expected getting help from chenn’ya is just useless, But actually can you elaborate what do you mean by different like of cat beast man.

“ Unlike them I am a mix of both cat-like and human magic, she is magicless as she come! Plus I heard a rowdy group of two cards, one big fluffy dog, an apple, and a crocodile, talk about a defective potion, they say that there is a potion that has been sold that make the drinker to turn more into cat then a beatman hehehe..”

“ WHY DIDn’t you told us sooner!” Riddle shouted.

“y/n, are you feeling fine? Is your body hurting somewhere? Do you feel any side effect? we need to go to professor Crewel right now!” Riddle fused over you in worry.

“ Im fine riddle! I feel real great in fact!” you pushed your head to his check rubbing it trying to calm his heart.

Of course that does not calm the heart of Riddle, even though he love your head rub very much he need to take you to crewel for your own good.

“c’mon y/n we need to go to crewel.”

“ Child of man! “

“ Tsunataronn!”

“UWAAA! Now malleus is here too!” Carter sighed.

“ a its time for me to go~” Che’nya said as he disappeared into nothing.

“Malleus why are you here?” trey asked.

“ Of course, to take this child of man back home.”

“ What do you mean by that, they are home!” the hot-headed red hair snapped.

“khufufufu, Not quite.”

“ah Liliaa! Do you want to steal y/n away too?” carter whined as his friend, wishing the old fae could just let you go.

“ no can do!”

“as I expected.”

“ We won’t just hand them over to you. You know that right?” trey sternly said now covering your figure with his body.

“that’s what we expected, so we come here with a deal.” Malleus answered.

“ Absolutely not there is no place for negotiation in this! Thank you and Goodbye!”

“ C’mon don’t be hasty in making a decision o queen of hearts.”

The arguments go on and on, it makes you bored and hence you leap away from the chair and explore the maze.

To your surprise there lay a man with a platinum silver hair laying down peacefully on the soft green ground.This of course had attracted your full attention. My god he look so comfortable, its like he is inviting you to lay on top of him, And so you did.

You had curled your body up and sleep on top the the man, head in his plush chest as leg draped on the ground, you sleep soundly using him as a pillow. You could feel a hand on you as the said man begun to lift you us and carry you.

“Father I got them already.”

“O good! Then be shall bid adeu!”

“ Let’s go Lilia.”

“ Hah?! You can’t just take them away! Off with your head!”

“ of course we can.” Riddle magic fail as you are whisked away by the briar prince and his retainer.

You lot of you had transported to diasomnia dorm. Silver putting you down.

“y/n welcome home.” Malleus greeted you.

“ Now silver be a dear and show y/n where they can change their clothes, These horid scheme just doesn’t suit them at all. Poor you forced into a badly made outfit, It isn’t even a real one, just a mere illusion trick.” He snaps his finger making trey’s unique magic on you disappear leaving you back in savannaclaw uniform.

“ oh my this uniform is even uglier, poor darling.” He hug you as he rubs you between your ears. You of course enjoy all the attention that was given to you as you purr.

“oh such a clingy kitten, now be a good kitty and follow silver.”

“y/n come here.”

You nod as you ran up to silver.

“khufufufu…curious and curiouser!”

and so, operation use silver as bait was a success.

More ex hubby eren🌚🫶🏽

cast ! eren jaeger + reader

wc ! 1.6k+

tldr ! house party with your ex = house party with some sex

content ! dirty talk + alcohol + spanking + rough sex + light cunt slapping

a/n ! i took so long.. hope it was worth the wait!

“Its going to be the party of the century”

With an outfit like this? It better be. Y/n had pulled out all the works. A mauve colored spaghetti strap dress with the back cut out– the hem stopping right below her ass. Her neck was coated with a sweet Vanilla scented perfume, an arrangement of silver necklaces complimenting the fragrance. Connie had finally convinced them to leave their safe space by planning “The party to start the summer”. His words. Jean and Connie were the homies so it was hard to turn down their every invitation without feeling a bit of guilt.

Buckling her heel around her ankle, Y/n pulled out her phone to make sure her date for the night was still game. He would be an idiot if he wasnt. “Hello?” his voice rasped from the other end, sending a chill down her spine. “Hey Reiner, are we meeting at the boys?”. “No no.. i’ll pick you up”. Y/n smiled, “right answer.” Hanging up, she did one last round of perfume before going into the living room to wait. Maybe this night would be just what she needed.

At first it was, Jean was in charge of music and the vibe was absolutely right. Reiner had a hand on her waist, swaying along as she rolled her hips– ass pressing against him subtly. Y/n was 3 shots in and feeling right. Not drunk but definitely not sober. “I’m going to run to the bathroom” Reiner spoke into her ear before kissing it lightly, walking away and leaving Y/n to the wolves. “Cuff It” by Beyonce began to boom over the speakers, causing Y/n to holler, “this is my SHIT!”

“I thought that was you..”

She froze. Turning around, Y/n was met with no one other than her worst nightmare– Eren.Her hands immediately became clammy, the dance floor suddenly becoming too crowded. “Hey–” Y/n had vanished before he could even finish his sentence. Rushing into the kitchen, she found a plastered Connie with his face smushed into Sasha’s chest. “You mother fucker” Y/n seethed, yanking him back and pulling him into the pantry before slamming the door. “Woah woah�� I didn’t know you liked me that way” he slurred, a drunken smirk on his lips. Y/n rolled her eyes, pinching him– “don’t flatter yourself, Gnomeo. Why the fuck is my ex husband here?”. Connie looked at her confused, frog blinking before clocking in, “oh shit….” Oh shit indeed. Eren and Y/n had a VERY messy divorce, the legal papers somehow not being enough to really call it quits. She had just now stopped responding to his booty calls… as well as stopping all of her own. She was free of him! So.. why did seeing him make her stomach fill with fluttering? She wasn’t 20 anymore, she saw him for who he was. A handsome basket case– unable to correct his own flaws.

“Y/n.. I swear hiccup I had no clue he would be here. He told me he was too busy to come” Connie stared at her , his expression letting her know he was being honest. Connie hated drama and suddenly, Y/n felt like a fool dragging him into his own pantry. “Okay… okay my bad. You know how I get when I see him” she sighed, hugging Connie tightly before opening the door. Walking out, she dragged him back to Sasha, apologizing and giving her a proper hello. After a few words of kindness, she turned to walk out before being blocked by him. “Do. Not. Run. Please.. Can we just talk” Eren asked, voice barely above a whisper, a light hold finding its way around her wrist. She could do nothing but stare at him for a minute, his eyes looked softer, his hair long enough to be pulled back into a sizable ponytail. Looking back at Connie and Sasha who were trying to pretend they weren't eavesdropping by throwing a golf ball into the same red cup. Beer pong my ass. “Fine… fine. You get 10 minutes.” She pushed past him, making her way through the crowd towards the back door. Once outside she scanned the space, spotting the greenhouse where they grew their.. happy grass. She quickly walked in that direction, Eren following close after.

“So..” she stated, arms folded as she made direct eye contact. “Soooo.. How have you been?’ Eren asked sheepishly, Y/n’s response being silence. For a moment neither of them said a word, the silence being filled with the faint of Sza’s, ‘I hate you’ blasting over the speakers. “Listen… I really do mean it when I say I regret how we fell out. You put up with a lot of my shit and.. sighs I'm way too grown to be acting the way I did.” Y/n just scoffed. Eren stared at her for a moment before continuing, “You look.. Gorgeous. See you came here with Reiner’. Y/n could tell he was trying to act unbothered. “Who I'm here with is none of your business” she smirked, biting her bottom lip. Why was she nervous? She should know better but… fuck he smelt good. Looked it too.

“Y/n…” he gruffed, an arm going around her waist to pull her closer before she could protest. “Come on, you don’t even miss me a bit? Don’t miss the way I could.. Handle you? Treat your body like a God? You know.. I still do worship you. I fucked up, I know but–” he was cut off by her lips meeting his, her hands immediately going up to bury themselves into his locks. Eren followed her movements, both of his hand wrapping around her waist, pressing his body against hers almost as if he wanted to fuse into her. Their bodies stumbled into a wall, Y/n’s dress being hiked up, her hands fumbling to unbutton his shirt. Eren’s lips traveled from her lips to her jawline– latching around the skin on the side of her neck. One of his hands found its way between her legs, palming her cunt through her damp panties. Y/n melted in his touch, legs struggling to keep her up as he slid the fabric to the side and pinched her clit in between two fingers– rolling the bud between them. His head came up from her neck to study her face– lips slightly parted to match her own. Y/n sighed out, hips jutting upwards into his touch, “please…”. Eren let out a breath, fingers pooling into her at the singular word.

He quickly found a rhythm, a curl joining each thrust in, his lips smashing against hers. Their tongues swirled around one another, Y/n sucking the tip of his tongue, teeth closing around his bottom lip with a harsh tug. Eren laughed into her mouth, his free hand going to unbuckle his pants while the other one kept busy. His fingers spread deep within her, making way for a third one while he wriggled out of his jeans. “You ready for me?” he said hurriedly, eyes dark with lust and possession. As soon as Y/n nodded, he replaced his hand with his cock– pushing past her folds as a grunt fell from his lips. “Oh fuck..” he growled, pace picking up quickly before she had time to adjust. Eren’s hand quickly went to her thigh, a firm grip bringing her leg up to wrap around him. He thrusted upwards as Y/n loosely wrapped her arms around his neck, eyes struggling to focus with the new angle.

“S-so Reiner huh?” he mumbled, head resting inside of the crook of Y/n’s neck. His thrusts were becoming deeper, balls smacking against her skin with each thrust. “Really thought pulling that shit was funny? Hm? Sorry.. I refuse to give this up” he said between clenched teeth. Before she could respond, Y/n was now flipped around and bent over– Eren’s dick slapping against her bare ass. “Want it?”. She couldnt help but roll her eyes, “yes, cmoon” she whined out. Eren chuckled before giving her a firm slap on her ass. “Youve done better than that in your sleep” he chuckled before cocking his hand back once more, allowing this one to land on her cunt. Y/n let out a yelp, thankful for the sound of the party.

“Please babe.. I miss your dick so much. You know that I feel good around you.. Please fuck what’s yours” she looked back at him as she spoke, cunt drenched at this point. Eren’s dark eyes looked down on her, strands of his hair sticking to his face— lips slightly parted. A smile slowly spread across them before he pressed his tip against her hole. Y/n sighed out in relief, hips going to push back against him— her eyes closing before opening at the feeling of him pulling away. “What did I do now?”

Eren chuckled, shaking his head, “just want you to look at me..”. Placing a firm grip on her shoulder, Eren slid himself all the way in— eyes focusing on the way Y/ns face contorted. Each thrust made it harder for her to focus, a couple of spanks from Eren reminding her of her instructions. “Yeah.. take that fucking dick..” he gritted, body twitching as he slowly started to lose rhythm. Suddenly, both of his hands went to her waist, thrusts becoming rabid as he pulled her back into each one. His rhythm was now completely gone, sloppy thrusts coming to an end as he came deep inside of her.

They both sat in silence for a minute, panting as they struggled to get dressed. Finally, Y/n cleared her throat— “I should…probably tell Reiner he can go home..”. Eren stared at her for a moment before chuckling, “he’s a grown man, he’ll live. Besides..” , he pulled her closer, “I don’t think this was enough to call it makeup sex.. Let me show you how sorry I truly am..”

haikyuu characters as things my friends and i have said over text (pt. 1)

(this is too silly to make it aesthetic so here is this boring plain format)

yachi: OMG SENPAI ARE YOU OKAY WE ALL SAW YOU FALL DOWN noya: lies.

oikawa: I WANT CONTEXT iwaizumi: no.

tsukishima: is that you eating out of a mickey mouse bowl kageyama: it was a shared snack. not just me. tsukishima: okay. tsukishima: the need to defend yourself is telling

kuroo: i am a scientific bulldozer and i will absolutely mow down the stubborn building that is our chemistry professor and the assessment schedule

akaashi: two birds of a feather and the feather is the blatant exploitation of student labor by your respective leadership boards

tendou: (after reading an unfinished online manga last updated two years ago): my guts spill, words pouring out from the depths of my soul, through the orifice that is my mouth. for i have gone where even angels dare not tread - i am a fool. i read too fast, too far. and now i bleed all over the floor.

akaashi: i will migrate to serbia and feed myself to the wolves. akaashi: wait are there even wolves in serbia

tsukishima: the tireder i am, the savager i get

bokuto: read zelda as salsa

oikawa (during seijoh 4's graduation): they split us up because the universe couldn't handle our combined power

lev to kenma (during a nekoma vbc meeting): why is this meeting just coach nekomata teaching us to jaywalk without getting caught

asahi (to daichi and suga): the three of us against coach ukai in a boss fight? NOT fair.

[im-out-of-it]

season 1, episode 7, I present part 3

23. FUCK I KEEP FORGETTING WHERE I LEAVE OFF but anyways, alec has made a fool out of himself and I’m here for it. the funniest scene in the whole episode

24. Luke took the “you’re pack leader, you don’t need to ask for help” when it comes to clary because it doesn’t mean putting clary above your wolves each and every time especially when it means downworlder lives are at stake smh

25. Jace saying this will take all day when clary is looking at pictures of her mom. bro her mom is gone????? usually I’m not on clary’s side but that was just a rude ass remark

26. “It’s not like this is the first time alec has saved your life. I doubt it’d be the last.”-Izzy. that’s the whole premise of the books and the show

27. well, simon is on his way to becoming a vampire

28. side note- I like how Camille and Magnus have similar styles. black nail polish, eye shadow, lace clothing, moods can be similar

29. “I’ve been so focused on my mom, i haven’t realized all you’ve done for me.”- clary 🙄 all jace has done? HE HAS RISKED NOTHING. Jace could go on and kill as many people and the clave still wouldn’t care. but if Alec did the same? then it’s a problem. Alec risked everything and now it’s come to bite him in the ass. Clary is one of the most selfish characters in this show. I didn’t realize all you’ve done? oh because we break clave rules for everyone? she doesn’t understand or care about rules or any of the ramifications. she only cares if she gets what she wants

30. I still don’t see why clary has the gifts “angels” gave her. the most undeserving, selfish character who uses the angel gifts to get what she wants at any cost (I see using them for actual purposes and when it’s needed but she abused the purpose for them)

31. ew the worst kiss ever 🤢 I won’t torture y’all and attach a gif. I actually care about y’all 🥹

32. side note- the straight characters can kiss for hours on end or pages worth but when it’s a gay couple, it’s like a second or half a page. not saying I need them to make out for 20 minutes or so, but it’s something I constantly see in media 🙄 straight characters always gets more screen time but at least here, Malec gets a better developed story

33. “I want this institute on high alert, clary only matters” -jace. bro you can’t just force the institute to look for her. you aren’t in charge of it and thank the devil for that

34.I just want to talk about Alec for a second. everything he’s been dealing with I’m assuming in the last few days- feelings about jace, jace not choosing him, family duty, family honor, meeting Magnus, trying to decide if he can be happy, gay, and a shadowhunter all in one, being a shadowhunter, covering up for a girl he doesn’t like, taking all the heat, watching the guy he supposedly loves (I’m not here for Alec and jace stuff) catch feelings for the girl who keeps ducking up his life, and now has to watch that guy make out with that girl who is making shit worse for his family HAS TO FUCKING HURT

35. and Izzy knowing how Alec feels 😭

36. I’m just so sad for Alec. I don’t want him with Jace but it hurts my heart to see Alec sad over this worthless dick. he deserved so many apologies and amends from season one. ALEC WENT THROUGH IT

37. Izzy stealing the spotlight one pair of heels at a time (this happens in the next episode but whatever, Izzy slays)

38. now let me go cry for Alec 🥹 ITS OK HE WILL BE HAPPY SOON

39. well Simon is dead now so clary is going to care until he’s dead. vampire Simon coming soon 🫶🏼 I mean, raphael did warn him but this can 100% be blamed on clary. and I can’t wait for Simon to go off on her about this lmao CLARY CHOSE FOR SIMON

thank y’all for attending our Alec deserved better meeting and whatever name we used before. 39 (I think) was the number today 🥲 let’s see what we get for our next one, and thank you to anyone who is here and reading the dumb shit I post, love y’all

“Okay okay everyone gather around as the story starts, today my viewers it looks like the story is

The Wood Keeper of Evergreens

I do hope you enjoy,” it said before it started to read the story in its arms.

“There once was a boy who was sent by his father to get wood from the trees. The boy was warned about the danger the deeper and darker the forest gets, but the boy was to curious for his own good.

It was already dawn by the time he sent out to the woods, the longer he looked around for good trees, the darker everything became, he could no longer tell which way he was going in the dark every tree looked the same, so deeper and deeper he went into the forest trying to get out.

The boy felt like he was being watched by wolves around very corner, eyes were on him everywhere. It was to scary for him, he couldn’t stand it anymore and closed his eyes and ran as fast as he could go.

Tell there was light. The boy opened his eyes to see, a opening in the woods? Lit up with fireflies. The boy cheered and played with the fireflies. He was safe here, he found the light that means that he was safe from the creatures of the night.

Then there was a crack. He turned to look at where the noise came from, as all the dragon flies flew away at the loud noise in the safe quiet. There was a man, with a torch in his hand, “What are you doing in this part of the woods? Where is your mom and dad?” The stranger asked the boy.

“I don’t know how I got here,” he answered, neither truth or a lie, but this man did not look like a monster so he trusted him, “both my ma and pa are back at the village they sent me to get wood..do you think you can lead me out of here?” The boy asked, maybe he was a bit of a fool, to trusting.

But the man smiled at him, and agreed on one condition, “You never leave my side or stray to far,” the boy thought that was reasonable so off they went back father into the woods.

The man and the boy walked and walked, before the boy noticed a house in the distance, “Why are we here?” The man looked at the boy up and down hood still covering the top of his face. “We are going to get some thing from my home,” the boy nodded.

As they entered there was trees and roots everywhere in the man’s home, seemed as if nature had made it itself. “You got a very nice home, full of trees,” the boy commented as he looked around, the man dug in the drawer while the other did so.

“Thank you,” he said, “it’s made of Evergreen wood,” the boy looked at him, “Isn’t that the wood from deeper in the forest? Have you ever been there?” He could not stop his curiosity.

“Oh yes, many times.” The man replied, the boy beamed. “Really?? What’s it like? Does it truly have monsters like the village says?” The boy asked question after question, all the man did was smile.

He waited, 1, 2, 3, 4..5 seconds before answering. “Oh yes, big ones, scary ones. Ones a little boy would be to scared to see.” The boy huffed, who does this man think he is? Talking to him like that.

“I could handle it.”

“Oh could you know?” The man responded.

“Yes,” the boy said sure of himself.

“Why don’t we test it?” The man opened the door for the boy to walk out. The outside was different, there was no more fireflies or lights lighting the way, the forest was pitch black just like it was when he first entered it. But the boy was curious so he walked on. “

“And that’s where we will end story time today okay? We’re at page.. 15.” It said making a little sticky note to remember it’s place before putting it away, “I think it may be time for you all to sleep, perhaps?”

Realm of the elderlings ask meme thing

There's nothing I love more than ranking my favourite things! (I have not finished Assassin's Fate yet so things could maybe change)

Favourite Rote book: Royal Assassin

Why: This is the one that took me the longest to read. It paints Buckkeep so vividly, I felt like I was walking down its corridors alongside Fitz. Assassin's Apprentice serves to set up the story, and then by Assassin's Quest, everything has changed. And then, even when we get back to Buckkeep in Tawny Man, nothing is the same. Royal Assassin feels the most like home.

You've got Fitz bonding with Nighteyes, you've got Kettricken as Queen-in-Waiting alongside Verity, you've got an ailing King Shrewd, you've got peak sneaky old man Chade, you've got Patience and Lacey, you've got Fitz and the Fool becoming friends, you've got Burrich being a questionable but earnest parental figure, you've got the messiest teenage relationships, you've got political intrigue, and fun witted shenanigans, and all the things I love most about this series.

And the backdrop of the RedShip War is so compelling. It does what Piebalds don't do quite as well in Tawny Man. The threat lingers so heavily and is intertwined in everything that happens.

And it has one of the most well written endings I've ever read. The way everything comes together is insane. From Shrewd dying to Fitz being resurrected. His time in nighteyes' body is a masterpiece and an achievement of writing.

Top three favourite characters: Fitz, Beloved, Nighteyes (It feels wrong to not also mention Kettricken and Burrich here because I love them SO MUCH)

Top three least favourite characters: Dwalia, Ellik, Greft

Favourite ship of the floating kind: Paragon or Vivacia - I can't decide! You can't make me!

Top 3 ships of the people kind: Fitzloved, Alise x Leftrin, and Burrich x Chivalry x Patience - though also have a soft spot for Molly and Burrich.

Would you rather be witted or skilled: Being Skilled would probably be so much more practical, but Witted.

If you were witted, what animal would you bond with: a lazy little cat

Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six duchies, Bingtown, the Rain wilds, Kelsingra, Jamailia, the Pirate isles or Mercenia/Fool's homeland?: This feels like the wrong answer, but its the Six Duchies for me. The descriptions of Buck remind me so much of where I grew up in the cold by the sea. it feels familiar.

How were you introduced to the books: My mum!

Share a quote you love:

'Come, hunt with me, the invitation whispers in my heart. Leave the pain behind and let your life be your own again. There is a place where all time is now, and the choices are simple and always your own.

Wolves have no Kings.

-Royal Assassin, Epilogue

I think I've seen most of my mutuals do this. If you haven't, consider this me tagging you! and anyone else who wants to do it! xx

The Lucky Ones. chapter 3

I didn't post last week, so I'll post chapters 3 and 4 this week!

previous chapter

next chapter

“When’s the soonest you can sneak out tonight?”

“Excuse me?”

Claudia looked at Vincent in disbelief. The two of them were walking home together, a practice which had become scarcer since Vincent had entered High School the year earlier. The situation was made more difficult by his recent inclusion in the High School’s mathletes program and by Leonard’s insistence that Claudia be home by four o’clock. Nevertheless, they tried to meet after school as often as they could; they hadn’t been able to think of a way to buy more time. Now, Vincent seemed to be proposing a solution, albeit a risky one.

“I said: when’s the soonest you can sneak out tonight?”

“I heard you, I just don’t believe it.” She wrung the strap of her satchel in between her hands. “You know that I can’t do that.”

“Why not?” He pouted. She flashed him her cold glare, a skill she had honed to perfection over the previous four years.

“You know why not.”

“What your father doesn’t know won’t hurt you.” She shook her head but Vincent persisted. “Look, it’s easy. Just wait ‘til he’s gone to sleep, then you slip out the window with your trademark grace and meet me at the overlook. It’s not like you’ll be out all night, anyway, so what’s the harm?” When she answered with silence, he added, “Don’t you want to have more time together? I mean, I wouldn’t call what we’re doing now ‘hanging out’.”

Claudia stopped on the sidewalk and regarded him sternly. If she didn’t respond, she imagined he would just continue to make his pitch until they reached the intersection where the two of them always parted ways. He stopped as well and stood with a half-smile on his face, a few strands of hair fell in front of his eyes but he made no move to push them back. She stared daggers at him for a minute but his confidence didn’t waver. Finally, she sighed,

 "If this goes wrong, I don't want to see you anywhere near my funeral. Understood?"

Vincent beamed and clapped her on the shoulder.

“That’s my girl! I knew you’d come around. So,” He began walking again, leaving his hand on her shoulder, guiding her forward. “What time are we meeting?”

                Late that night, when she was certain that her father was asleep, Claudia crept out of bed and got dressed in the dark.  She looked around her room and took a deep breath before sliding open the window and climbing soundlessly out into the cold spring night. Praying that nobody would see and recognize her, she ran barefoot through the empty streets of Silent Hill and quickly made her way to the meeting place that she and Vincent had agreed upon earlier that day.

 When she finally reached the rendezvous point, an old, often vandalized bench which was nestled in the reeds and brushes that overlooked the dark water of Toluca Lake, there was no one else in sight.  Moving carefully, she stepped over the cold, damp earth, searching for any sign of him. She had never been out so late before, not with anyone else and certainly not by herself. She didn’t have any experience with the night’s brand of darkness and didn’t know what it might be concealing. Her mind produced a catalogue of terrifying possibilities: snakes, wolves, the living dead; although distressing in their own way, none of them could rival her fear of another person lurking in the reeds, just out of sight, watching with wicked intent. The idea made her insides twist and she found herself wishing Vincent were there to laugh off her concern. 

He’s not here… She thought ruefully as she scanned the surrounding bushes and grass. Of course not. It’s cold. It’s late. It’s a long way from home, in any case. I should have known better than to think that he’d show up. She pulled her sweater tightly around herself and fought back imminent tears. Why would he?

“Oh, Claudia,” She whimpered into the empty darkness. “You really are a fool…”

“Who says?”

Claudia’s hands flew to her chest to stop her heart from fleeing her ribcage as she spun around and nearly slipped on the ground’s thick covering of leaves and twigs. Vincent choked back a laugh and switched on a flashlight that he had been concealing in his jacket; he fixed the beam on Claudia and offered her an almost apologetic smile.

“Where have you been?!” She bleated. She hadn’t intended to shout, but the sound seemed to force its way out of her throat. Vincent held one hand out, as if to steady her.

“Whoa, relax. Sorry I’m late, I had a hard time getting out of the house; I’m not sure my mom ever sleeps.” He sat down on the chipped concrete bench and indicated the spot next to him for her to sit. She remained standing and crossed her arms indignantly.

“Don’t sneak up on me like that.”

“Did I scare you?” He raised an eyebrow at her knowingly. She looked away, refusing to answer. “Come on, don’t be like that. Here, sit down, will you?” She shook her head, still not looking at him. “Okay…” His voice took on a teasing lilt. “If that’s how it’s going to be…well, then-” He leaned forward and pulled her down into a seated position across his lap. Claudia gasped and grabbed hold of his jacket to steady herself.

“Vincent!” She scolded. “You can’t just-”

“Hush.” He touched one finger to her lips, abruptly silencing her. “You were practically asking for it.” She shook her head in exasperation but said nothing. “You know,” He brushed her wind-swept platinum hair away from her cheek. “You’re really kind of cute when you’re angry.”

“Sh.” The sound she made was sharp, but not as sharp at the glare she shot him.

“What? It’s true. You should see your face right now, you’d think: ‘damn, I look cute’.”

“You shouldn’t say things like that.”

“Why not?”

“It’s just…” She shook her head again. “This is wrong; sneaking out, being here…with you, it’s all wrong. We shouldn’t be here.”  Vincent surprised her by chuckling softly in reply. She furrowed her brow slightly. “What’s so funny?”

“You’re just trying so hard to convince yourself that’s true.” He answered.

“It is true.” She insisted.

“Ah, Claudia…” He sighed, resting both of his hands on her shoulders. “It’s only wrong if you get caught.”

“That’s a terrible thing to say.” She protested but was answered with another laugh. “Did you ask me to meet you here just so you could make fun of me?” Now she was glad it was so dark so he couldn’t see a flush of embarrassment seep into her cheeks.

“No, actually.” He released her shoulders so he could search the pockets of his jacket. “I have something for you.”

“Giving me a heart attack wasn’t enough?”

“Oh, now you’ve got jokes?”  He scoffed and patted her on the leg. “Come on, up you go. I don’t know where you got the idea that sitting on my lap was a good idea, but you’ve got a lot of nerve.” She leapt to her feet, suddenly and acutely conscious of how at ease she had let herself become. He stood as well, patting the pockets of his jeans, then his shirt. “Yes, here it is!”

He turned on his flashlight and fixed its beam on the object in his hand: a small pendant, about the size of a quarter, on a silver chain. Claudia tucked her hair behind her ear to keep it out of her face as she leaned in to examine the item further. The pendant had an embossed image of a woman kneeling, with wavy lines flowing behind her indicating long hair. At first, she was taken aback when she observed that the figure appeared to be nude, but when she noticed that the woman was holding some kind of plant, she lit up with recognition.

“Oh!” She looked up and offered a tentative smile. “Is it…?” The woman who offered a reed to the sun, she thought. One of the two people who created God. Surely, that was who this was meant to represent. However, she became confused when Vincent clarified,

“It’s Virgo.” When he saw confusion cross her face, he added, “Your zodiac sign, right…?”

“Oh…I don’t know my zodiac sign.”

“Actually, I think you’re on the cusp of Virgo and Libra, but, I mean, come on.” He gestured toward the image on the pendant. “That’s totally you. What with the hair, I thought…”

“I guess I can see that.” She stood up straight again and shrugged. “Well, anyway, it’s nice.”

“I found it at Green Lion…uh,” He leaned in slightly and turned the flashlight’s beam toward her. “You know it’s for you, right? I’m not just showing you.”

“What?” She had not realized this and turned her face away from the light in an attempt to disguise her shock. “Why?”

“’Why?’” He repeated, barely disguising the laugh in his voice. “You’re my friend and it suits you. Do I need more reason than that?”

It shouldn’t have surprised her to hear him call her his friend, yet somehow it did. In the four years they had known each other, she had only ever heard him refer to her by her name and occasionally as “Sister”, if he was trying to ruffle her feathers.  Cautiously, she peeked back at him to see if he was making fun of her again, but she couldn’t read his face; the beam of the flashlight distorted her vision and everything beyond it was concealed by the darkness and by a sheer veil of fog that was beginning to cascade in from the lake.

“I don’t have anything for you in return.” She timidly replied.

“Well, that’s okay.” He lowered the flashlight and again offered the pendant, which she lifted gingerly from his palm and held up, running her thumb over its raised surface. “Do you want help putting it on?”

She shook her head and moved her hair out of the way so she could clasp the chain behind her neck. The necklace had a reassuring weight to it and it felt comfortable resting against her sternum. Her hand went to the pendant and held it; the metal was still warm from its time in his breast pocket. As she traced the image again, something occurred to her.

“Hey, Vincent?”

“Hey, yeah?”

“How do you know my zodiac sign when I don’t even know it?”

“Oh, it’s easy,” He explained, seemingly pleased that she had asked. “It’s just based on when your birthday is.”

“But how do you know m-”

“I just already knew it. Don’t remember how. Maybe you told it to me?”

Claudia couldn’t imagine what reason she would have to tell him her birthday. It was an occasion she thought of so rarely, even she sometimes forgot its exact date.

“So, what’s yours, then?”

“I’m Gemini.” Again, he seemed disproportionately pleased with himself. “Represented by a pair of twins.”

“Where do you hear all this?” She crossed her arms and tried to study his face, but was again unsuccessful. “And don’t say ‘around’, either; that doesn’t help at all.”

“This stuff is all pretty common knowledge, actually.” He shrugged. When she didn’t appear to be satisfied with his answer, he added reluctantly, “And also, I maybe was reading my mom’s Cosmopolitan. But only for the horoscopes.”

“Aha. And what did yours say?” Although she was teasing, there was a part of her that was interested in hearing about these things. There may have been answers to be found in the stars, after all, though she wasn’t sure she trusted Vincent or Cosmopolitan to interpret those answers.

“It told me to stay at home, but you know I hate to be told what to do.”

“Hm, and what about mine?”

“Yours said…” He paced back toward the bench, taking his time to think of something he could tell her that she would never believe. “Yours said that you should trust Gemini a little more.” He leaned on the bench and flashed her a smile that she couldn’t miss, even in the heavy night and gathering fog.

Five songs that remind you of the Seeds (outside of the game's OST) | Tag seen from @direwombat | Leaving the tag open <3

*I thought to include a snippet of the lyrics too when available

John Seed:

Kleptomaniac by DEZI

I'm a parasite I do anything to feed my appetite I'm gonna make this Hell look just like Paradise Sacrificial lamb, you think you've seen the light

Am I sadistic, do I do it on purpose? Antagonistic, am I making you nervous?

I crave the self-indulgence And I blame it on compulsion And I try to fight the urges But underneath the surface I'm a kleptomaniac

I'm gonna take it all And you're ok with that

Saints by Echos

You were standing there like an angry god Counting out my sins just to cross them off Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust And that my blood couldn't keep you

My dear, you're not so innocent You're fooling Heaven's gates So you won't have to change You're no saint, you're no savior

Looking at the Devil by Seibold

I like the taste of the poison I like the rush of the pain

I come alive in the darkness You know that I love the game While there's a snake in the garden No one's safe

See you bleed by Ramsey

I just wanna see you bleed Open you and set you free

Luci by ZAND

He's got a great big smile and cheekbones cut like knives But I know he's real ugly inside

Think there's gonna be a showdown Between my new hot friend and I My pocket knife is cutting up the ropes now Gotta try, gotta try I think there's gonna be a showdown Between my new hot friend and I 'Cause in the end, the ultimatum is that one of us has to die Not I

Jacob Seed:

Will you fight by Klergy, Beginners

Your time has come Can't tell hell from the sun When it's all said and done Who will you become? When nothing's as it seems Don't let 'em bring you down on your knees When nothing's as it seems Who will you become?

Will you run or will you fight? When the war comes

The Hunter by Sam Tinnesz

There's no rest for the fallen Oh we're burning the fields You're the snake in the garden And you're under my heels

Who's gonna save you Who's gonna save you now When the hunter comes

World Gone Wild by UNSECRET, Sam Tinnesz

Feeling the tension Pushing at the seams There's no way to stop this You can't stop this

The pressure is building It's getting hard to breathe No end to the madness

Four, three, two, one There's nowhere left to run

It's a world gone wild

Here come the wolves by Lola Blanc

Hеre come the wolves They're coming to get ya I run through the woods I'm not gonna let you go I'm baring my teeth, I'm ready My tongue is a sharp machete

Fighter by Jung Youth, Sam Tinnesz

I can feel the desperation All my dogs can smell the fear If you ain't ready for the belly Why you even coming here They been waiting for the end Before the game even begins And I've been fighting for my soul For my family for my friends I ain't ever giving up

Faith Seed:

River by Oh, be clever

I used to keep my dark a secret I used to keep my heart in pieces He said he liked me better as a mess He said he wants to save me from myself

Mermaid by Skott

Believe me, it is true You know that I would jump too Ooh, into the blue, into the blue It's proof, because we got nothing to lose And there ain't nothing to prove You know I'd jump with you

All I need by Roniit

Embrace me, I swear I'll be safe, I'll show you the way, open the gates I'm careful and believe me I'll stay I could be all that you're looking for

You're aimless, but you gotta be brave

Her & The Sea by CLANN (instrumental)

Chimerical by Roniit (instrumental)

Joseph Seed:

Reborn by Galleaux

I'm watching in silence Burying all I've lost Let this be the end Let me start again

Let the fire burn it to the ground Feel the world of ashes as it crumbles down Breathe the smoke, breathe it in Don't stop until it cleanses my sins

And I am reborn

And so It Begins by Klergy

You've been waiting Looking off into the night Search the horizon Watching out for smoke and fire You knew this day would come You aren't the only one And so it begins

The Beginning of the End by Klergy, Valerie Broussard

Reckless behavior is looking at a man Like he was a savior

Blind leading blind Everything looks darker When you close your eyes

Deity by Demo Club, TENDER (for the life of me I can't find the full lyrics, and I don't wanna guess them bcs TENDER be mumbling at times)

Shepherd of This Flock by JT Music (it's inspired by FC5 so ofc I'm including it)

Who found you while you were lost? When blind, who helped you see? Cuz I'm the shepherd of this flock I guide my righteous sheep Of your sins, I'll see you washed Then I'll set your soul free The word of God is one you trust So thank God He speaks through me

A Tiger of Persia

Summary: Sirvan, a disabled veteran of Xerxes the Great’s campaign against the Greeks in the fifth century BCE, returns home seeking a wife. Set with the seemingly impossible task of capturing and taming a tiger in exchange for a woman’s hand in marriage, Sirvan finds himself initially despairing… and then realizing that he was, perhaps, searching for love in the wrong place.

Status: SFW (for now)

Pairing: cis male weretiger x cis male human

Chapter 3 of 5

*

<< first chapter | < previous chapter

In the morning, the two men broke their fast with water and small cakes of fruit and grain cemented together with honey prior to baking. After this traveler’s fare was downed, they once more ranged through the mountains in search of signs of the tiger. It had not rained the previous night, and the ground was harder and did not hold tracks as well.

Sirvan was filling his waterskin from a spring that burbled up between two rocks in a valley when Dhvasanti shouted. He pulled himself upright and limped as quickly as he could to the other man, halfway drawing his sword before he realized that the Indian was shouting in excitement rather than terror.

“Look, look!” Dhvasanti said.

The half-eaten carcass of a horned wild sheep had been dragged beneath a rocky outcropping at the sloping edge of the valley. Sirvan knelt to examine it; the teeth-marks on the bones weren’t right for wolves or wild dogs, and the faint prints in the dirt around the carcass couldn’t be those of a bear. 

“It must be the tiger’s work,” he said.

“I agree,” Dhvasanti said. “We are close.”

Sirvan nodded. “Yes. Be on your guard and stay close to me; we cannot be sure how near the tiger is, and I have no desire to see you die.”

Dhvasanti smiled one of his enigmatic smiles. “Worry not; I have always been a survivor.”

Sirvan was not impressed. “Let us hope that the tiger has nothing to say about that.”

Dhvasanti did not seem even slightly concerned.

The two men scouted the area, and managed to find more marks left behind by a large predator. They climbed further into the wild hills, and every step Sirvan took sent pain flaring up his leg. He wished to ride, but the terrain was all but impossible for the gray mare to traverse; she slowed their progress even unburdened of a rider, and sitting astride her back would have entailed risking a painful fall.

The sky clouded over in the late morning, which gave them some relief from the sun as they continued the search. The wind picked up as well, tugging at their clothes and hair and bringing the wet promise of coming rainfall.

“If this storm breaks, we will lose the trail,” Sirvan warned.

“We should find shelter,” Dhvasanti said.

Sirvan squared his shoulders. “I cannot abandon the hunt when we are so close; I will press on alone if you wish to go back to the village.”

“I am no coward or fair-weather friend,” Dhavanti said with a toss of his head. “I will stay with you, Sirvan, no matter how much of a fool you are. I believe there is a cave nearby; let us go there, at least, and wait out the rain.”

Sirvan squinted at his companion. “How do you know there is a cave?”

“I have been wandering through these hills for a fair while. Please, Sirvan, let us go.”

The first raindrops pattered against Sirvan’s face, and he thought again of bandit ambushes. “Dhvasanti—”

“I can accept being damp, Sirvan, but not soaked through. I swear to you that the tiger will still be out there when the rain stops.”

Sirvan sighed. “Very well. Lead the way.”

The rain, of course, settled into a proper downpour well before they reached the promised cave, and Dhvasanti mutely endured his soaking as he kept pace with Sirvan’s limping progress. The gray mare plodded along behind them, looking just as miserable as the two men felt with water dripping from her mane and tail.

The cave was not a bandit’s pretense, although it was also little more than a rock overhang. The sandy floor, however, was mercifully dry. Sirvan removed the tack from the mare in an effort to salvage the leather saddlebags of his rations and other supplies, then removed his sodden clothing. Dhvasanti did the same. The day was chill, but the overhang protected them from the worst of the westerly wind as well as the rain.

“A pity we cannot have a fire,” Dhvasanti said. They sat shoulder to shoulder and watched the sheets of rain pelt down over the valley spread out before them.

Sirvan snorted. “Pity indeed. It was my leg that slowed our progress here, however, and for that you have my apology.” 

“I do not accept it,” Dhvasanti said. “I refuse to accept it, even. I will admit that I enjoy complaining—but it was my choice to stay with you, and my choice to get rained on as much as I did. You are not responsible for my current state.”

“Yes, but…” Sirvan began, but found the words turning to ash in his mouth. He looked down and stretched out his injured leg in front of him, rubbing his scarred knee to save himself from admitting his error. He had assumed treachery from Dhvasanti, and had been proven wrong. He had assumed the worst of his new companion, and had been proven wrong, and now regret took root in his heart. 

Dhvasanti clasped his shoulder. “I understand,” the Indian murmured. 

Sirvan reached up and wrapped his own hand around Dhvasanti’s, feeling the man’s strong brown fingers against his own. “I thank you,” he said.

Dhvasanti sighed. “The father of this Mahya of yours, Salman, is a coward. He wanted to refuse your offer of marriage, but for whatever reason chose to give you an impossible task instead. Tigers cannot be tamed, you know…” He turned his tawny eyes upon Sirvan. “Unless they choose to be,” he finished.

“And what do you think this tiger will choose?” Sirvan asked.

“I think he will never wear an iron collar again, no matter how prettily it is offered.”

Sirvan pulled away from Dhvasanti to scrub at his face with his hands. “Perhaps this journey is in vain,” he admitted, voice soft. “Perhaps it is nothing more than a measure of my arrogance and naïve desires. I was little more than a boy when I took up my sword for the King of Kings, and now that I have returned to Persia… If we are being wholly honest with one another, Dhvasanti, I am not sure what I want either. I have wanted to marry the daughter of my father’s friend since before I became a man, but now I do not know if she will make me happy. I do not know if I will make her happy. There is so much I do not know, and the Lord of Wisdom offers so little reassurance.”

Dhvasanti huffed and leaned back against the rock wall of the back of the overhang. “Then admit defeat,” he said. “Go back to Susa and tell Salman you have failed. Find some other woman to wed. Live out your days. Raise your children. Die in your dotage.”

Sirvan grimaced. “My pride forbids such a thing—I would rather the tiger eat me.”

“Fool,” Dhvasanti pronounced, but his voice had no real heat. He looked out over the rain-darkened valley. “Tigers live all their lives alone. They raise their cubs alone, and see each other only in passing over territorial disputes. They do not know loneliness, or love, or heartache—and I envy them that, truly. The feelings I am having now are… vexing.”

“The price for mankind’s wisdom is sorrow,” Sirvan agreed. Then: “Have you thought any more about what you shall do once your time in Persia reaches its end?”

Dhvasanti chewed his lower lip for a moment, thinking. “I will travel,” he said at last. “I want to see the African kingdoms with their rivers of gold and behold the wonders of China.”

“If you ever return to Persia, you must call upon me in Susa and tell me of the marvels you have witnessed.”

Dhvasanti turned back to his companion. “Why not come with me, Sirvan? I do not want to travel alone; I would be happier with a companion, and I think—forgive my presumptuousness—I think you would be happier with distance between yourself and Mahya.”

“I will need to consider this,” Sirvan admitted. “If my father had other heirs, I would not hesitate, but he is aging and I cannot abandon him.” The offer was incredibly tempting, though—the taste of the wider world that Sirvan had experienced upon leaving Susa with the Persian army had only whetted his appetite for more.

Dhvasanti nodded, then lightly gripped the back of Sirvan’s neck and guided their foreheads together. The two men breathed each others’ air for long minutes, and then Sirvan angled his head and brought his mouth against Dhvasanti’s. 

Dhvasanti took a surprised breath, then smiled against Sirvan’s lips and tangled his fingers in the Persian’s dark curls. “Tigers may not know loneliness or love,” he whispered, breathless, his tawny eyes blazing, “but I cannot help but be thankful to know you, Sirvan, and to desire you.”

Sirvan kissed him again at that, harder—and then they pulled apart.

“This is not—” Dhvasanti began.

“The tiger—” Sirvan began at the same time.

They stopped, looked at each other, and exchanged wry smiles. 

“We shall have to hurry and find the tiger when this rain stops,” Sirvan said, “I want to enjoy myself with you on a proper bed, in Susa, once this damned hunt is over and done with.”

“What of Mahya?” Dhvasanti asked.

“She is a very eligible woman and has no shortage of suitors. At this point, capturing the tiger is, I will admit, more for the sake of my pride than for the offered reward. I will speak with my father upon our return, and perhaps something can be arranged for us to travel together without requiring me to abandon my filial duties.”

“I would like that,” Dhvasanti murmured. 

“I am glad, Sirvan replied, and spread his drying mantle over the sandy floor beneath the overhang so that he could recline upon it. Dhvasanti curled up against him, and they watched the rain together. After a time, Sirvan’s eyes slipped closed.

a small assortment of lyrics from my playlists, 3 - ?

" I'm sorry, but your story isn't adding up. "

" Think your religion is a lie to keep my mouth shut. "

" I won't testify to crimes you're keeping score of. "

" Why don't you throw me to the wolves? I thought you were one. "

" You were standing there like an angry god, counting off my sins just to cross them off. "

" Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust. "

" My dear, you're not so innocent. "

" You're fooling Heaven's gates so you won't have to change. "

" You're no saint. "

" Your revelations don't look nothing like the pictures. "

" You read between the lines and don't stick to the scriptures. "

" You only follow rules if others follow with you. "

" That doesn't sound so holy. "

" That doesn't sound so holy, only playing victim. "

" Keep your judgement for someone else, I've had enough. "

" How much is art really worth? "

" The very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most. "

" But you need your rotten heart. "

" You need to go to war to find material to sing. "

" I need my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to sing; my empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology. "

" Just when you think you have it figured out, something new begins to take. "

" What strange claws are these, scratching at my skin? "

" I never knew my killer would be coming from within. "

" I was never as good as I always thought I was. "

" I was never as good as I always thought I was, but I knew how to dress it up. "

" I was never satisfied, it never let me go. "

" I'm in love with an angel, Heaven forbid. "

" Made me a believer with the touch of her skin. "

" I go to Hell and back with you. "

" I go to Hell and back with you, stay lost in what we found. "

" Worlds apart, we were the same until we hit the ground. "

" Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm weak. "

" Maybe I'm blinded by what I see. "

" You wanted a soldier, but it wasn't me. "

" So fly on your own. "

" It's time I let you go. "

" I'm in love with an angel who's afraid of the light. "

" Her halo is broken, but there's fight in her eyes. "

" Walls were built to keep us safe until they're crashing down. "

" So glad to see you well, overcome and completely silent now. "

" With Heaven's help, you cast your demons out. "

" And not to pull your halo down around your neck and tug you off your cloud -- "

" I'm more than just a little curious how you're planning to go about making your amends to the dead. "

" Recall the deeds as if they're all someone else's atrocious stories. "

" Now you stand reborn before us all. "

" And not to pull your halo down around your neck and tug you to the ground -- "

" With your halo slipping down to choke you now. "

" I used to float, now I just fall down. "

" I used to know, but I'm not sure now what I was made for. "

" What was I made for? "

" I was an ideal. "

" Turns out I'm not real. "

" I don't know how to feel. "

" I don't know how to feel, but I wanna try. "

" When did it end? All the enjoyment. "

" I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend. "

" Think I forgot how to be happy. "

" Something I'm not, but something I can be. "

" Something I wait for, something I'm made for. "

" You can be a lover or a fighter, whatever you desire. "

" Wings of a butterfly, eyes of a tiger. "

" Whatever you want, baby; choose your fighter. "

" I know this world can be a little confusing, no walk in the park. "

" I can help you solve the riddle; you're perfect as you are. "

" You're perfect as you are. "

" If you wanna break out of the box, wanna call all of the shots, if you wanna be sweet or be soft, then go off. "

" Don't let nobody tell you you can't. "

" It's giving thunder and lightning. "

" I can feel the floor shaking and the glass begin to break. "

" The air is getting thinner with every breath that I take. "

" The calm before the storm, you could hear the drop of a pin. "

" Never been claustrophobic, but now the walls are closing in. "

" I've crossed every line, broken every boundary. "

" Now it's retribution time. "

" Strike me down, take me away. "

" Debts are due, it's time to pay. "

" Face what I deserve. "

" Here comes judgement day. "

" I won't run, the guilt is mine. "

" Too long denying all my crimes. "

" Hearts are easily broken when you've been made in the shade. "

" Don't do love, don't do friends. "

" I'm only after success. "

" Don't need a relationship. "

" I'll never soften my grip. "

" I just want to make a change. "

" I know exactly what I want and who I want to be. "

" I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine. "

" I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy. "

" One track mind, one track heart. "

" If I fail, I'll fall apart. "

" Maybe it is all a test. "

" I feel like I'm the worst, so I always act like I'm the best. "

" If you are not very careful, your possessions will possess you. "

" Now real life has no appeal. "

" I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly. "

" I'm gonna fly. "

" I'm gonna fail. "

" I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die. "

" I'm gonna die. "

Just get to the fence! Get to the fence ... Chetney tries to guide the way ... and blunders right into the wall ... then holds Blood Curse of Binding? Can he fo that? Apparently so ...

Fearne bamfs Mister out, then runs into the Darkness and hits the wall right next to him, then holds Scorching Ray ...

Oh dear, they are most definitely rumbled now ...

The Reiloran totally just NOPED when he saw the Darkness ... LOL

Again with the Flat Earth ... XD ... Matt is annoyed ...

FCG uses the Staff of Dark Odyssey to jump himself make a hole in the wall before booking for it ... ending up IN THE DARKNESS ...

Orym feels his way to the hole, looks through with his ridiculous Perception ... safe enough, but probably not for long ... tries to be sneaky sneaky ... hmmm ... stealth check ... 232? Chetney: "That's my boy!"

Ashton grabs FCG mostly by luck, then follows Laudna's directions to the door ... now he's trying to just blend in ...

Imogen casts Invisibility on herself, finds the hole, goes through ...

The Thought Eater Psychic Slams some rocks into the Darkness ... CRAP!!!

Half damage to Chetney, full to Laudna, who BARELY holds onto her concentration ... Fearne takes full damage but ALSO maintains her concentration ...

Oh, so Mister's got LOTS of high points now? Cool ...

Laudna checks around, sees not but hears approaching trouble ... gets ready for whatever ...

Chetney goes through, joins FCG snd Ashton, then dashes to Orym ... and SOMEHOW manages to keep hidden as he does it ...

Lions ate in the SAVANNA, not the SAHARA!!! How did nobody else get that?

Fearne runs for Orym and almost knocks Imogen over ... whoops ... then crouches the best she can to avoid the Thought Eater's attention ... Fearne: "Don't perceive me!"

The Juggernaut's coming! Crap ...

There was ALREADY A DOOR?!!! SERIOUSLY?!!!

Oh crap ... what IS making the howling noise? They're mounts? Massive scaly panthers, no head, just a big gaping maw ... well that's just lovely ...

Maybe spotted? Crap ... FCG holds Banishment ...

Orym creeps up to a tent and gets ready to slash his way in IF it's necessary ...

Ashton RAGES and holds an attack, taking a big run to back up the others, somehow still managing to stay hidden ...

How they're pulling off the stealth is baffling ... oh wait, here we go, now what?

Imogen heads towards the tent too ... meanwhile Laura is AT A LOSS for what to fo next ... oh boy ... the casts Seething Storm on the Darkness as a distraction ... wow, that's ballsy ... but now she's visible again!

The Thought Eater chucks more rocks ... but FCG thwarts it! NICE!!! That's a miss ... znd now it's BLOCKING THEM FROM SIGHT?!!! Extra sweet ...

Laudna would not actually shit, instead she coughs up pellets. Apparently ... XD She runs to join the others and makes it unseen ...

Chetney scouts out ahead and again his unaccustomed nose fails him ... nuts ... more tents, it seems ...

Aha ... looks like the distraction IS working ...

Fearne keeps running ... oh no, maybe Thunderclap would NOT be a smart move right now ...

He's normal Chet in his head. He's DOING THE WOLF VOICE in his head. Chetney: "Just let me live my dream."

The Juggernaut's pulling a Here's Johnny ... then takes damage from the storm ...

Crap! Rumbled again! Can they bluff it?

FCG casts Command on the Reiloran ... Holy fuck, FCG has RIDICULOUS aptitude for Deception? Who knew? Like HOW, Samuel? O.O

Great, more bells ... now what can they do?

So what's the new plan? More stealth? Sneak out?

Sam sneezes SPECTACULARLY ... Taliesin: "Stop it!" Ashley: "What is HAPPENING with you?"

They're just gonna try a QUICK sneaky sneaky ... how's this gonna go? Roll good, guys! Sam: "It's not luck, it's FAITH, so it's okay." That was a pretty spectacular save, Samuel ...

They make it through well enough, it would seem ... just BARELY ... and then they're gone ...

Phew ... they find a supply tent and hide ...

Orym: "We need to queef out of here." O.O

Put the Telepathic Bond back up! Okay ... but also goodbye Banishment ... crap ...

Okay, time to become clouds. Fart on, guys!

Laudna checks the Treshi ball ... crap, Otohan's HERE somewhere!

They waft out in mist form, drifting up and over the camp ... crap, looks like this would be BAD in a storm ... hmmmm ... snd there are some rolling in? Nuts ...

Time for a break ... but ALSO time to LEVEL UP?!!! Awesome!

Okay, so what's Ashley gonna do? How cool is this gonna be? A 3rd in Rogue? ARCANE TRICKSTER?!!! That's pretty sweet ...

So ... floating up, up and away ... literally ...

Derailed by a belch ... XD

Oooooooh ... DOES anyone who's been here in the dreams recognise anything? Get rolling guys ... damn you, Ruidus dice!

Chetney's priapic virility helps him recognise his surroundings ... XD ... he knows where the city is! Okay ... let's GOOOOOOOO!!!

Looking for a place to shelter, then ... a mountain range? They MIGHT be able to get CLOSE before the storm hits. Or head for the city ... decisions decisions ...

City, then. Okay ... cue various fart cracks (ahem) ...

Making a beeline in that direction which comes close to the mountain range ... storm front coming head on ... hmmmmm ... Travis: "The Reynolds Pamphlet." Marisha: "It's been a while since we had a Hamilton reference." XD

They have a plan. A RISKY plan.

Sam's flask: "What's Robbie looking at? Wrong answers only." Oof ... Matt disapproves.

Incoming? We have Incoming!

13 big-arse buffalo with SIX LEGS EACH?!!! Hmmmm ... tons of horns too ... and they're going INTO the Storm? Hmmm again ...

Beast Sense? Could be fun ... or might be DISASTROUS ...

Best to just jeep going ... Fearne znd FCG are unconvinced and continue to investigate ... Animal Handling? Really?

They're weirdly cute, but VERY LARGE ...

Get back to the group, guys. You're heading RIGHT INTO A STORM right now ...

Laudna is now suggesting they hide UP THE BUTTS of the beasts as farts ... yeah ...

Reform and regroup in a cave for a short rest. Smart move, definitely ...

Not SUPER comfortable, but it'll serve, at least for now.

Good point ... WERE they followed? Orym has a look ... doesn't look like it.

"Be queefed." LOL ... They torture the DM for few minutes ... Matt: "The scy-ball's dark." Travis: "Like your heart."

Ah, so they're not the first to shelter here? Interesting ...

Matt (after accidentally making a gynaecological joke without realising it and being mercilessly ribbed): "My friends are dirty."

Grim Psychometry!

Wait ... are there fucking GRABOIDS on this moon? Seriously?

Imogen considers trying to sense the presence of Predathos ... oh boy ... instead decides to rest first ...

Short Rest, then ...

Pate! He's back! Nice ... meanwhile the possum ... "Dork the Ox"? Hmmmmm ...

So IS the possum dead? Is it s Reiloran again?

Imogen senses something ... something in the air ... some Ruidusborn connection to Fearne? Fascinating ...

Imogen: "We have a Bloody Bridge between us!" Fearne: "Wow!" Cue jokes about them being "in sync" ...

They have new feats? Cool ... oh, they really ARE connected now? THEY CAN SHARE IMOGEN'S SORCERY POINTS AND VICE VERSA?!!! That is awesome ... Fearne: "We're just settling into our ... bloody power." Snort ...

Of course, Laudna's not Ruidusborn. Laudna: "Maybe I'm Ruidus-Dead."

Oh shit ... this could also be exploited by OTHERS? Not so good ...

Imogen now attempts to connect to Predathos ...

It is AWARE OF HER PRESENCE ... great ... a WISDOM SAVE?!!! Seriously? Crap ... 14? Is that good or bad? Aaaaaaaah ...

Oh shit ... it's GOING INTO HER ... a network? Hmmmmm ... a choice? RESIST, Imogen! RESIST!!!

Another Wisdom Save ... 18? Is it working? Oh thank fuck ... her lightning marks actually FLARE for a moment ... oh, that can't be a good sign ...

That's right, it's NOT Imogen specifically, it's ALL OF THEM together ...

Wow ... way to make this REALLY HEAVY, Orym ... meanwhile Chetney's got a much more hopeful theory ...

Oh yeah, the GOOD Reilorans ... a Rebel Alliance, so to speak ... cool ... yeah, that's smart. Find them ...

She could actually SENSE where all the other Exaltants are? Cool ...

Travis: "Our orders are clear. Beat up Fearne until she levels up." Ashley: "Nothing's happening!"

The storm has passed! Yay!

Pate is wowed to discover they're on the Moon. And now he's excited that he's getting sent into the Bag of Holding to look for the Reiloran snd then report back. And here we go ...

No joy ... hmmmm ...

They try to pill the Reiloran out ... oh, it is VERY DEAD and they can't get it out ... so they dismember it to get it out ... Laudna has the time of her life and it's not at all surprising ...

Ooooh ... weaponry swag! Sweet ...

FCG baked apple fritters with FOUR TEMPORARY HIT POINTS EACH!!! Awwww ...

Re-queefed and once more they float off into the air to continue their journey. Night is now approaching! Hmmmm ...

A village? Fascinating ... a "moon ranch"? Fascinating ... oh, it's for those buffalo aardvark things. Cool.

Ashton wants to meet the locals. Smart, but best be careful about it ...

Whoa! New race! Intriguing!

Oh! So this village looks to be UNDER OCCUPATION by the Imperium ... now THAT'S interesting.

Ashton attempts to turn himself into a dust devil in order to disguise himself. It DOES NOT go well. It goes VERY BAD in fact. He genuinely embarrasses himself.

Night is now falling ... what is the plan?

Yeah! Sorcerers are max Charisma! Send in the Witches!

All right, they have a plan and some likely candidates in relatively safe isolation. Jumping in then. Two staying as clouds to keep watch.

A storage shed? Yep, best bet.

Somebody's coming ... and now they're rumbled ... Imogen: "Don't scream!"

Persuasion check! Nat20? For a total of 33? Wow, nice one, Laura!

Oh, they speak Common? Phew ... oh, so they're like s bigger, stockier version of the podlings in Dark Crystal? Cute ... :3

And that's it for tonight! Yeah, good place to call it for now. Just good to be back at last ...
