@masqce asked: it's time for a heist! tell us what role each of your muses has in this operation (name as many as you'd like).

mastermind: blair. brute: yan hui, yuri. safe cracker: fred. driver: lucy, sabrina. cat burglar: anastasia, dohee, dongkyung. smooth operator: lorelai, talia. hacker: lydia.

unlisted muses

ruyi would take on all the positions herself because she doesn’t really do delegating or teamwork (at this moment in time).

anya would be all in for the money, but then ask something like this and be left out.

chloe wouldn't even hypothetically participate.

♡ closed starter for @hxtties​

deacon volunteered to sit at the back of the van with talia for this specific reason. they’d be alone with no other eyes on them. no one else wanted to sit back here. as most of the family member were prone to getting car sick during long drives. once he realizes most of them were preoccupied with their own form of entertainment during the drive to their hotel, he inched closer to his granddaughter as his hand moved on top of her exposed thigh. not saying a word, not even giving her attention. careful not to gain the attention of the others in the car. he forces her legs apart while his eyes were straight ahead. acting as if nothing was happening at the moment. 

[madsworld15]

Let me read this…I need it!

AU: Talia meets Stiles for the first time under the assumption that Stiles is Derek’s new boyfriend. Here’s the thing though: Stiles and Derek aren’t a couple. Awkward.

❛ IT WAS A LUCKY FIND . ❜ and the younger dragon is willing to give credit where it is due : she would not have gotten the townhouse without the help of vasilkaera's friend ( though he seems to be more family than friend at this point ) . ❛ the only job i had was to pout at julian until he agreed to lock this down for me . ❜ which took approximately five seconds - - - - maybe even less . ❛ now i need to make it look pretty , but that is not very difficult when the canvas happens to be perfection . ❜ decorating it has been a lot of fun so far and she is excited to continue with the older dragon today . ❛ you are allowed to spoil me . that doesn't mean it's necessary . ❜ talia teases , although she is never going to say no to affection and attention . she hums lightly as she closes the door behind them , glancing at the blonde . ❛ well , we both know i cannot change your mind , so ... thank you . that is very sweet of you . ❜

VASILKAERA IS GLAD the townhouse is so perfect for talia . she knows that it's been strange , especially compared to how she had grown up , now living with julian when they don't know each other well . and vala is glad it is still close to family and they'll still be able to spend lots of time together . and she is excited to get to help talia with the decorating . vala nuzzles at talia when she laughs , humming . " you chose it , he made sure you got it . you both did a great job . " vala hums , keeping an arm around the younger dragon and nuzzling her again . " gifts are absolutely necessary because this is your first house that is yours and i want to spoil you . " vala says , following talia inside . " snacks are life saving and gifts are just fun . i wanted to bring you both . "

The fistful of Talia’s gown was tucked in his palm against the arm of his chair, pinning in her place. It didn’t stop her, of course. He knew it would take more than a hissed request to get through to her. She was a wolf, and she’d bark if she couldn’t bite. The sheep’s clothing, though, would tear with ease if she fought. After all, the motivation for tonight’s festivities sprung from the notion that all of their fortune and their pleasantries were delicacies and could be easily ripped away. The tulle underneath his finger tips scratched at him, but Safet didn’t pull away. 

“You were suppose to bring someone who can bid,” He told her softly. “I’m trying to help you, Talia. The more you push, the harder they’ll pull. We’re not here to enjoy festivities. We’re here because we need to get it all back.”

[mackfm]

 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙨 : closed for @taliasayar​ !   𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 : wherever you can find drinks !

    “you look incredible by the way , i don’t think i told you when we were back at high volume ,” mack commented with her arm linked with talia’s as they walked onto the scene . it was LOUD and crowded which normally summed up places mack would rather avoid . but she remained optimistic about the night ahead of them , starting off strong with one of her favorite people by her side . “i think i might need some more of that liquid courage if ’m going to survive tonight ,” she admitted softly , as if it was a secret meant only to be shared between the two of them . the corners of her lips upturned as she looked to talia with a hopeful gleam in her eye . “you ... me ... shots ? like the good old days ?”

[evanderwoodsen]

@ofxbella​  Continued from here.

While he’d been surprised when the elevator had come, Talia had been reacting openly enough for the both of them, so he’d simply waited and watched her until she seemed a bit calmer. He’d actually been stuck in this elevator before, and last time (a few years ago), the technician had told him that there was a faulty... something that caused the elevator to get stuck on the chords every so often. It apparently wasn’t common or dangerous, but he remembered they did really need the technician to fix it - the receptionist would not be able to help them.

He decided to keep that information to himself, for now. As she seemed to calm down, he watched her while a mischievous glint betrayed her otherwise solemn face, and even smiled in response - though he furrowed his brows in confusion as he tried to understand what exactly her plan was. His smile fell flat, his heart skipped a beat, and he had to try his very best to keep his face as neutral as he could.

Ever since his release from the Ostroff, he’d had plenty of practice being around alcohol without actually drinking. It was impossible to attend a social event without it. It had been difficult, at first, but over time Eric had managed to feel comfortable in those settings (save for the occasional longing look). This, however, was different. He hadn’t been around drugs in years. He couldn’t be. He didn’t want to be.

“Oh, I actually-” he started, though by that time she was already smoking. Fixating his gaze straight ahead, he tried not to panic. Because he’d been keeping away from drugs for so long, he didn’t trust himself around them. He had no intention of taking anything, but he’d heard it countless times at the Ostroff - being around drugs just paved a path to do drugs.

“Right, thanks,” he eventually said, still not looking at her. He could practically feel his sobriety chip burning a hole in his pocket. “We might be in here a while though, I think they need to call a technician.” His jaw was clenched and his whole body tense while he spoke, but he could only hope that Talia was too invested in her .. activity, to notice.

[arzodae-a]

@heavensmessenger​ said  ──── ❝ i know this is an impossibly stupid question, but are you…is there anything at all i can do? ❞

          There were some times that Talia believed she was over it. That she’d left everything that happened in Meadow View behind her, that she was fine. There were other times when she was very rudely reminded that flipping that switch was not as easy as she would like to believe. This had become one of the latter. “I just...need a minute,” she got out between labored breaths.

          She’d never been scared of water before. But when you watch a body be dragged out of a river, things like that tend to change. If only she could just wipe the slate clean, pretend none of it ever happened. Forget. “Sorry,” she mumbled, getting her breathing under control. “I’m good.”

[huntersbane]

@lysbringr​  said  :  ❛  ‘goodbye’  is  easy .  everything  after  that  is  the  hard  part .  ❜

“    𝐈𝐓'𝐒  𝐀  𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃  𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆  𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍,  that  you  don't  have  to  do  this  alone.    ”  hand  reaches  out  ,  placing  it's  self  within  the  warmth  of  kara's.  “  i  don't  know  much  of  what  a  home  feels  like  ,  but  i  like  to  imagine  that  hollowseed,  could  have  been  something  like  that.    ”  there  is  no  promise  that  she'll  return  ,  that  she'll  lay  eyes  on  this  place  again.  only  the  memories  would  remain  ,  and  those  memories  were  mostly  things  of  happiness,  the  first  time  she  had  allow  herself  to  feel  anything  but  anger,  anything  but  guilt.  “  and  after  all  this  is  done  ,  after  you  save  the  world?  there's  nothing  that  says,  we  ━━  you,  i  mean  can't  come  back  here.”

Hello, can you please do a story where Marinette is a clone made from Jason’s DNA? Thank you!

:)))))

Anything for you<333

Chapter One(here) Chapter 2

“Red Hood, the door should be to your left. Coms will be cut off the second you enter, so you have half an hour until we send in backup, do you copy?” The sound of the clicking of the keyboard accompanied Tim’s call, annoying the hell out of Jason.

“Loud and clear, Replacement. Heading in now, shouldn’t take more than fifteen minutes.” The man looked at the metal door, key card in hand. This wouldn’t take long at all.

“No names durin-” Red Robin’s voice cut off as Jason used the card, entering the room. It was filled with tech no man should ever have, much less an assassination group. A curse echoed around the room as the man saw an empty tube, just the size of him. Almost immediately he could tell it was the cloning machine Talia was so obsessed with.

The papers beside it caught his attention as he made his way over, his name plastered all over the documents.

Project 002 - Jason Todd

“The hell?” He thought he came close enough to read it.

DNA manipulation project was a success, sex was able to be changed from male to female. Abilities uncertain, but results should start showing after-

A thud interrupted his reading, stealing his attention. He spun towards the sound, seeing a test tube had fallen. He cursed, grabbing the papers he had been reading before booking it out of the door. Whoever had knocked over it was definitely still in the room, and Jason didn’t have enough time to fight them off until Batman came.

“Tim, explode this place now!” Jason shouted into the coms, breaking out of a window to escape the building.

“Jason? What-”

“I said turn this place into ashes right fucking now Timmy!” Jason snarled, glass embedding itself into his legs as he landed. The broken glass showed green eyes, his eyes, staring back at him. Fuck. Jason gripped the papers in his hands harder as he ran. Knowing that if they had his DNA, they could have anyone’s DNA in there.

The sound of explosives going off behind him was promptly ignored in favor of hopping onto his motorbike. He had to report what he found to Bruce, now.

——————————————————————————-

Marinette bit her bottom lip as she waited for her class to return from the bathrooms. Her teacher had told her that they would only take a few minutes, but it’s already been half an hour. What if Lila did something? What if she convinced them she left without them? What if they-

Calm down Marinette, it’ll be okay. Everything is fine. Just fine. Marinette took a deep breath as she decided to just go outside and check to see if anyone was there. Just go to the bus stop and see if they were waiting for her there instead of in the hotel.

Steeling herself for the worst, she took one step out the door and promptly slammed into a person.

“Merde! I’m so sor-” Looking up to see who she bumped into, she left out a sharp gasp. One word took over her mind.

OriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalWhatTheHellIsHeDoingHereOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginalOriginal-

Blue eyes identical to her own stared back at her, black hair just like hers swirled in the wind. White, almost tan, skin just like hers was on his body. This shouldn’t be possible, she needed ToGetRidOfHimNow!

Her blue eyes turned into a toxic green as she felt everything in her scream to killkillkillkillkillkillkillkill.

——————————————————————————

002 | Cojeel (Cobra x Gajeel)

When I started shipping them: Been on this ship since 2012 babey!!!

My thoughts: punk bfs w/ a lot of chemistry, they've both been through plenty of traumas in their own lives and sorta understand where the other is coming from...... (also this ship is how i met you @zephiraz my loving partner of 8 years *heart eyes emoji*)

What makes me happy about them: they're not pretty boys except for when they want to be (SO much eyeliner and hair products, their bathroom is a MESS), their relationship feels natural for them, they very lovingly insult each other yet they also don't let the other get away with shit, but also sometimes they're just content being lazy gay snakes dragons together

What makes me sad about them: they deserve happiness but shit keeps happening, who would have predicted that past misdeeds would have future consequences :(

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: I guess if Cobra's dialogue is hard to distinguish from Gajeel's? His vocab does get more relaxed post-timeskip, but not that much,,,,

Things I look for in fanfic: .... new fanfic. There's 15 works on AO3 and 4 of them are from ME. FFnet is practically just me.... oTL

My wishlist: More fic or art in general? Maybe some more canon teamups? <:3c

My happily ever after for them: They have a very private wedding or just straight up elope

003 | Sokka (Avatar)

How I feel about this character: this boy has adhd 100%

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: I like most ships with him, but I don't really have a favorite?

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: I like his relationship with Katara. Especially when they pick on each other, because I will always be tired of the "siblings always get along perfectly" trope in fiction

My unpopular opinion about this character: He's obviously bi, but is a little nervous about the whole liking boys part bc of his upbringing. That being said, it's something he definitely gets over later in life.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish caffeinated beverages existed at that time period, because he definitely seems like the kind of person who should not consumer caffeine because then he sees all the time all the time

Favorite friendship for this character: Him and Aang are always fantastic idiots when it's no braincell day and it's great

My crossover ship: Sokkoya. (Sokka x Naoya Itsuki) It happened because of the rp that originally inspired Hiraethean Prophecy, and is one of the "canon" ships in the panfandom crossover fic version. :3x

[magical-girl-coral]

002 for selina kyle and tim drake, please

:)

I expected to have one reply and your ask made me happy squeal.

Selina

How I feel about this character: My first actual love. Have been my entire world since I was six. I will write the story she deserves if I have to.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Bruce, Diana, Talia, Edward, Zatanna, and Slade because of a crack story my best friend and I came up with.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: The BatFam, the rest of the Gotham Rogues, and her sisters

My unpopular opinion about this character: For the love of God, she's the closest thing DC has to a true neutral. Stop making her choose a side, she's just here to enjoy the chaos.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Give her her own family, DC. I already made a chart, JUST LET ME HAVE THIS.

my OTP: BatCat

my cross over ship: N/A

a headcanon fact: She only apologizes to family. If she apologized to you then congrats! She will kill for you now.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Conner, Steph, and Tammy

[nifujiswhore]

002;

a year after turning, in the year 1291, after coming across a coven of witches, it was discovered that not only was i a mutant, shapeshifter and, now, a vampire but i was a witch as well. a siphoner to be exact.

A siphoner was, as i was told, an abomination of a witch. a siphoner could not produce their own magic but they could suck the magic out of anything magical; a witch, a vampire, a werewolf, a cursed object, even a place imbued with power.

As the trio of Mikaelsons were watching a coven of witches perform their spell, in a flurry of excitement talia grabbed niklaus hand, and with that excitement started to siphon from him unconsciously. "aah!" niklaus exclaimed in pain, looking at where talia was clutching at his arm where the area was glowing red.

the noise instantly drew Elijah's attention to the situation, niklaus, his skin turning grey the longer she siphoned from him, trying to pry talia's grip off his arm with out hurting her.

Talia was in a trance, the spell was beautiful to her, she just wanted to touch it. Finally registering that someone was shaking her she snapped back to reality and let go of Niklaus' arm while focusing on elijah in front of her and huh, when did he get there? getting her to focus on what was going on, for as soon as she let go of nik she was siphoning off herself and creating rapid winds around them.

The coven in which talia was so entranced stopped their chanting to look at what was happening. gasps were heard to both niklaus and elijah and the witches tried to stop her while simultaneously banishing her to a prison world so that she would not disturb the balance of nature any further.

as if by reflex as soon as the new chants begun they stopped, when an ominous strike of lighting struck the very ground they were standing on, the lighting almost acting like a guardian protecting its conduit. As the lighting reared to fire once again at those that opposed it, Talia snapped out of it, stopped siphoning herself and sent the lighting back to it's hibernative state until she called for it once more.

that's when elijah had me study grimoires and spells that were bought or given, some taken, to us so i could learn to control this new side of me. i learned many spells, some more useful than others, but when your family is on the run, you learn the great lengths one will go to, to protect their loved ones.

In the early to mid 1300's was when i met rebekah. she tried to kill me when she saw me standing so close to her brothers, that i was another tatia, Nik and 'Lijah quickly shut her down saying i was no more than a sister the them. After she got over her initial dislike of me we became close, closer than i had ever been with the brothers, they said that we were so close we were like twins.

Elijah was sitting at his desk, writing in his journal after witnessing his siblings feed.

"August, 1359, I have noticed a difference in my siblings. Our bond strains beneath the pressure of our life as vampires. Each day removes them further from the humanity we once possessed. My sweet sister, Rebekah, has grown quite indifferent to brutality. However, the true problem remains my brother, Niklaus. he continues to hide his loneliness with cruelty. Perhaps the biggest change i have witnessed would be from my youngest sibling, Talia, once was the sweet girl we met in Salem now hidden behind a hard exterior that thrives in the kills and carnage she elicits, maybe the nickname my brother has given her, Sinestra, fits quite well with the new façade. Still, I cling to the hope that I, as their eldest brother, can lead them down the correct path, a path charged with the power of a family united. For if I fail, our family's legacy will end in darkness."

In the year 1492, i had the first glimpse of the affections both brothers shared for tatia. We had become nobles in England when our family stumbled across the doppelgänger. Katerina was sweet, when one didn't pay rapt attention, but i did, after losing my parents i wanted nothing more to look after my family that was so graciously given to me. When i confronted nik about her deceiving everyone around her, he said that it didn't matter and she would be dead in a matter of weeks and if i could help free him from his curse his mother bestowed upon him, I accepted without hesitation seeing that katerina was playing both brothers affection's. Niklaus was so angry when she fled and turned, that when he brought me along to slaughter her family in Bulgaria i barely batted an eye. She should've known better.

- - -

The next three-hundred or so years were a blur and i became someone who i could no longer recognise. As the family, well Rebekah, Elijah, Nik and I were "mourning" the loss of the governor's son I tuned into Niklaus taking in a boy much like ourselves, outcasted by society but surrounded by strength. As the years went by Marcellus grew into a confident young man who respected by those around him and eventually wanted to turn and become apart of the family like i had.

When marcel entered his early twenties he started to pursue a secret relationship with my sister. i caught them once and warned them that if our brother found out they would be skinned alive but they didn't and so marcel turned and rebekah was told to stay away from marcel, lest she be daggered.

I vividly remember the events that forced us to flee from our home for over a century.

The night was cool as Talia and Niklaus walked arm in arm towards the opera, with Rebekah on the other side meeting Marcel there, after gaining Nik's blessing. As they went to take their seats talia excused herself to got to the ladies room, but just before she got there she felt an arm grab her and drag her to backstage. With the assailants hand on her mouth she knew screaming was futile so she complied, "dirty scum," the voice, now man said, "how dare my children and that bastard disgrace my name so, by giving a dirty abomination of nature like you my legacy. as if its not enough you've got dog in you, but your being a witch as well and don't get me started on the genetic atrocity that you "embrace" when no-one is looking. You should be glad though, as soon as i heard you were travelling with my children, I tracked down your last remaining family, eliminated any trace of the malformed bloodline that you carry so that there was no more to stain humanity." and connecting the dots that it was Mikael, the man who did damage only a father could do to her siblings, she was greeted with a swift snap of her neck revealing her true form.

The opera's starting, where is she? Nik thought before entering their theatre box with rebekah thinking that she would join him soon. That should of been the first clue as Talia loved the opera, watching the musicians play their instruments like they were extra limbs, listening to the singer's lull their audience into a scene with just their voice, she would never miss the start of an Opera.

As Rebekah gets up to leave Niklaus asks if while she's looking for Marcel if she could try and find Elijah and Talia while she's at it. What he doesn't realize is that Mikael had snuck into his private booth pointing the white oak stake at his back.

"I would advise against trying to flee, boy. I can drive this into your heart before you can eve think of getting to your feet, and I don't want you to die just yet."

"Father-"

" 'Father' Haha! Still clinging to that word after all these years, a bastard desperate for a daddy? I wonder if your real father would be as embarrassed as i was of you before I discovered you were not mine. Most Likely." as Klaus is about to turn around- "Oh, oh. Uh-Uh. Easy now, boy. Don't worry. Death will come, but we need to have a little chat before you shuffle off your immortal coil."

"Any words we have for each other have been spoken long ago. But, know this-- I am no longer the animal begging for scraps of your affection. I will die knowing my hatred for you was just. I will fall proud of all I have achieved here. So, Mikael, if you're going to kill me, then get on with it."

"Au contraire, Niklaus. Some things remain unsaid. For instance, you were right to be proud of your achievement here. As I walked the streets, your name was spoken of in reverent tones by the city's finest. So, after I kill you, I will remain here in New Orleans until every last person who remembers you is dead. The deeds of the mighty Klaus will be remembered by no one. And you, boy, will simply never have existed."

As the orchestra is warming up for the show "Ah. The Grand Show" feeling the stake being moved from his back Niklaus breathes a little easier, but still worries for his family, because if Mikael got to him what about the others.

"Oh, I made some alterations in your honour. You'll love it." Mikael says while tapping his sons shoulder with the stake.

When the curtain opened and the lights darkened, Niklaus felt his heart drop at the sight before him that's why she wasn't here, she was up there, upon that stage laid three bloodied bodies, one more damaged than the other and one dead, tied to crosses like they were being sacrificed to the romans.

Watching in horror as the audience laugh and applaud like its newest masterpiece, Niklaus rushes onto the stage to try and get to his sister; that had vervain soaked rags keeping her place and gagged, and the man he thought of as his son.

Trying to pull the stakes from Talia's hand he is thrown off of her and the stakes are pushed back in making her wince in pain.

"It's bad enough I have a weakling bastard such as you carrying my name-" Mikael starts off "-but you allow her to taint my name further, allowing her the privilege to exist when she is a deformed version of what humanity was meant to look like." Accentuating his point even further by harshly grabbing her wings and horns eliciting a small 'aah!' from the pain stricken girl.

Rebekah waiting on the sides of the stage can't take hearing her father talk about her sister like that so, trying to intervene, ends up with a regular stake in the stomach leaving her unconscious.

As Klaus was going back to attack Mikael again Elijah finally shows up, grabbing Rebekah and freeing Talia of her restraints before Mikael could notice. As Klaus was trying to free Marcel, Elijah interrupts him. "there's no helping Marcel" and passing Talia to him.

"we must run."

and as they were leaving Mikael starts to feed off of Marcel and the opera goes up in flames, while talia slipped into temporary death in niklaus's arms.

After the events of New Orleans and losing the home they had made for almost a century, it was daunting trying to find somewhere else to settle down. But coming across the town known as Houston in the state of Texas. They decided to try one more time at a simpler life, this time with a cloaking spell to give them more time.
