DCA Promptober Day 12: Carousel
Who wants to be back in the fever dream again? It's you!! Yes you do, yes you do!
Just the one today, which is great as that means I'm back on track finally, hope you enjoy!
Word count: 937
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
"Ow!" You say as you bang your head against the control the lip of the panel opening in the carousel's center, "Stupid, frickin'... thing."
You weren't a mechanic, at least you don't think you are, you don't know how to repair machinery like this. The fact that your employer expected you to just pick up the ability to read wiring diagrams and the likes as if it was nothing felt a bit unfair. If you're being honest.
Sure, you had a manual. But it was hard to read in this low light. Which, that's another thing, why are you even working in the dark in the first place? Are you even supposed to be working in these conditions? Feels like an OSHA violation.
Your rubbing a hand over the sore spot on your head when all the hair raises on your skin. A chuckle follows soon thereafter. You scramble for your flashlight, waving it around wildly once you manage to turn it on. No luck. He's not here.
Another laugh, somewhere up above. Correction then, he's not close.
You frown, and lean back down to snatch up a screwdriver, starting to work on the operator's controls now, flashlight in one hand while you work. It starts to flicker after a minute and you curse to yourself, turning it off for the meantime.
Moon tuts at this.
You scoff, "Don't make it seem like I have a choice here."
"Go to sleep," Is his response.
Moon rarely spoke in full sentences you noticed. And tended to repeat the same phrases over and over. If you hadn't heard him say something direct to you that one time, when was that, anyhow? Feels like ages ago, you'd believe that they were all he could say.
"Can't. I have work to do. As you can see here.," You don't even know if you could sleep with this on-
With what on? You shake your head, frustrated. You hope you get a break soon, you're getting real sick of your brain not functioning properly due to what you're assuming hoping is sleeplessness.
You finish with tightening the front face of the operator panel back into place. You didn't bother with putting the panel back over the carousel's main access, something told you you'd probably just have to remove it again. Why did this thing even need repaired so often? Had anybody even used it since the last time you did? Have you even left the building once?
You flick the lever and then hit the main button. Least you think it's the right one, it's so damn hard to see-
"Nighty-night~"
You glance up in time to see red eyes hanging just above your head. He swings a clawed hand at you and you jump backwards, managing to dodge but falling down in the process.
Your hands search for your flashlight as the carousel starts to power on, music starting up as you feel yourself start to rotate with the platform you've landed on.
"Ah, ah," Moon tsks, causing you to look up to him.
In his hands is your flashlight, you can only watch in horror as your breaks it in two, chuckling as its remains clatter to the floor.
His faceplate spins, eyes narrowing, "Light's out."
You brace for the worst, but he only stares as you start to move away from him as the carousel takes off. Disappearing into the dark above after a moment.
It's then you realized you forgot to flip on the ride's lights.
You quickly stand up, taking a moment to get your balance. You look around for any sign of the night-themed bot. You can hear him, somewhere on the other side of the machine. Bells twinkling as he searches around for you.
You pass by the operator's podium once. You hear Moon start getting closer.
Shit, you need a distraction. And fast.
You make another turn. In the dark you find half of your flashlight. You hit it against your palm once or twice just to make sure it's unusable.
"Naughty, naughty," Moon says, he's much closer now. But hasn't seen you yet.
You duck down behind one of the benches on the ride, hand covering your mouth to keep from making a noise.
You feel fear crawl down your spine as you see the light of his eyes scan across the horses in front of you. It then disappears quickly. You swallow, closing your eyes as you wait for it to all be over.
There's a loud screech as moon's claws rip into the wooden animal off to your far left. He makes a displeased noise.
He missed. He doesn't know where you are.
The operator's podium passes by you one more time. Move.
You wait a few seconds then toss the broken flashlight piece somewhere off into the dark.
You see a flash of Moon's eyes as he darts over to the sound.
When you finish your next lap, your quickly roll off the machine and crawl over to the control panel.
You flip the switch.
There's a hiss behind you, you turn around in time to watch Moon retreat back into the shadow's away from the carousel. Away from you.
You sigh, collapsing back against the podium. It's then that you feel something cold on your right shoulder.
Reaching back, you feel a large hole that's been ripped into the back of your shirt.
Somewhere off in the distance, you hear Moon speak.
"It's past your bedtime," He snickers. Which is his way of saying 'Until next time' you've realized.
You grumble, rubbing a hand over your eye.
This job sucks.
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Little more light-hearted compared to yesterdays. Which you can find here if you haven't seen it or any of my other promptobers already. Thanks for reading!
#these just keep getting longer and longer on average daily lmao#started out with like 500 typically#now we're doing 900 a day#gonna have to go back through and add word counts on all of them I realize now#oh well#more for y'all to enjoy#dcatober24#fnaf dca#dca fandom#fnaf daycare attendant#fnaf moon#dca fic#x reader

Whumptober Day 6: Bad Coping Mechanisms
Scars in your heart
A deep breath in, then out. Again, and again.
He’s fine. He reminds himself that he’s fine, that nothing can hurt him right now, because he’s safe here, in his room.
Akito picks at the sore where the cuffs were and tries to calm himself. He’s scared of nothing, a half-remembered nightmare that obviously featured her but nothing else specific.
It’s not enough to call Toya, to wake him up and make him worry.
So Akito is fine. Really! He has to be.
The next day at school, everything’s a blur. He’s tired now, never did get back to sleep.
“Hey Shinonome!” One of the guys from the soccer team pats him in the back and Akito leaps out of his skin.
Stupid, he’s jumping at shadows. How long has it been now, six months? He’s a second year now, he’s older, he should be over it.
He feels An and Kusanagi’s concerned gazes drilling into the back of his head like a hole, and he knows soon others will notice and follow suit.
Because if they, the ones who saw, who rescued him were worried, then something serious must be wrong.
Akito curls his hands into fists so tightly his knuckles are paper white and he focuses on the literature passage in front of him.
Get through the period, then the day, then the week and eventually he’ll be over it.
Tsukasa-senpai stops him in the hallway and asks something, and Akito doesn’t listen because he can see the concern in his eyes and knows he’s trying to cheer him up, which he doesn’t need.
He eats lunch on the roof alone.
Three hours left.
The rest of the day is easy, he answers questions when he’s called on, the teacher looks at him like an idiot a couple of times, but he genuinely doesn’t care if he’s right or wrong, he just needs the day to be over.
Some of the guys from the soccer team ask him to help as he’s walking briskly towards the gates at the end of the day, and Akito smiles and waves them off but it’s not right, something’s wrong because now they look bothered.
Whatever, he’s not going to think about it, he just runs home and curls back in on his bed and now he’s really fine. He’s really actually fine and safe and can calm down and wait for this stupid scared animal in his chest to leave him alone and stop screaming about him to watch every corner in case she’s behind it.
The door opens.
Akito’s breath stops but he swallows. He’s not stupid it’s fine.
He looks up and it’s just Toya and he leans back against the bed. Toya wordlessly climbs next to him and wraps his arms around him.
“Want to talk about it?” he asks.
“No. ‘S stupid.”
“This about singing or…”
“Her.”
“Yeah, ok. Wanna take a nap?”
“Stay?”
“Of course, why do you think I’m here?”
“Thanks, partner.” And for the first time all day, Akito feels relaxed.
#whumptober 2024#project sekai#hatsune miku colorful stage#day 6#akito shinonome#toya aoyagi#au: SURRENDER BAD DOGS#oc: Fuyune Shimizu#not really but she's haunting the narrative#trauma#ptsd#word count: 500-1000#akitoya#i saw bad coping mechanisms on the prompt list and I fucking slammed Akito into it :)

I have had it with these motherfucking spam bots on this motherfucking site.
#personal#tumblr stuff#vent post#spam bots#i've been getting like 1000 spam bot followers a day for the last few days and blocking them all is getting--dare i say--TEDIOUS#wake up. block 300 bots. go to work. come home and block 500 more bots. spend evening checking tumblr to block bots. it's becoming a chore#it's starting to feel like I offended the tumblr gods or something. this is ridiculous. but like hell will i let them win#i won't let my follower count be 50% bots. i feel like a deserve a tumblr badge or something for fending off so many bots.#tribble#the trouble with tribbles#a very apt metaphor i think for these bloody spam bots; block one and five more come to take its place#but upside: the spam bots are helping me compile a Rosetta Stone for the word 'Untitled'. woo#also if you just joined tumblr and want to follow me: for the love of god personalise your bloody blog#i don't care if you have a icon or a summary. if your blog and likes are empty i'm blocking you#because i don't trust empty blogs and i really don't have the time to sort out who's real or not right now#(though if the blog's offering free mp3s 'just click the link!' or is advertising US keto gold coast gummies i know for sure it ain't real)#but hey! good news to people who followed me in the last four days who haven't been blocked; you passed the blog captcha test#anyway just had to get this frustration out of my system; gonna go block some more bots now i guess. i'll be very happy when this stops

— Emperor Charles VI's diary entry on Count Althann's death
[text: "My only heart, my comfort, my most faithful servant, my soulmate, who loved me dearly as I did him for 19 years, [we] had a true friendship, we were one heart and one soul, and we never concealed anything from one another. He will always be in my heart, [my] beloved friend..I. have lost everything."]
#this is like. incredibly niche.#but also hopefully a quote one can look at without context and still feel emotional damage about#idk. i think about this quote probably at least once a week and then have to stare at it and cry a bit#its just GOD. yknow??????#theres this one paper(which i linked) that i originally read as research for the AU#but i go back to it probably twice a month to reread it bcs im so !!!! abt it#i think its cause charles vi is just not that relevant but is relevant to me so to have this paper abt his personal relationships is very !#its both nice as ref for the au but also very interesting to hear about historical queer relationships/dynamics#the sections about him and his wife are very endearing as well#but god like him and count althann. im literally so invested in this 300 year old relationship#this is obviously from his death which is incredibly depressing and heart wrenching to me#but the other things he wrote about althann in his diary are very sweet to me#they were inseparable to the point of often sleeping in the same bed and charles called him his 'eternal love'#AND ON ALTHANN'S DE WIKIPEDIA PAGE IT LITERALLY CALLS HIM THE EMPEROR'S FAVORITE#anyways literally every part of this quote absolutely destroys me but especially how he refers to althann and then the ending#and its interesting to me bcs apparently his diary entries were usually pretty to the point#but when various people in his as althann died he would write these extremely emotional entries that are so </3#if you have any questions abt their dynamic pls i will talk abt them 🥰🥰 i find it fascinating#theres a book about his diary but its in german and 500 pages and kinda hard to get hold in but maybe one day!!!#also in AU contexts: althann and charles vi would be mark and seb so take that as you will 🤭😭#as i said this is great for ref but also made me sooooo fucking invested in him#i have no idea how to tag this#historical#holy roman empire#emperor charles vi#catie.rambling.txt#historical quotes#habsburg#habsburg monarchy#ah wow if only my german prof could see me now. fucking...habsburg posting. why am i like this

John 17:
21. That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22. And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one:
23. I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.

Saw someone else do it and I think I've done this before too, but the list has grown since then a bit so here's my current lineup of read dead wips that I'm working on!! :D Minus the stuff that's already posted on AO3 cuz I see no point in doing a synopsis for things that have left my google drive and you can go and read ahah.
Turned out loooooong so lookie under the cut if you're interested in knowing what I'm up to.
Morston Soulmate AU (title tba, multichapter, around 20-30k when finished) - An AU where you can feel all the injuries your soulmate gets, both minor and major ones. There's no soul marks, seeing your soulmate get hurt and connecting the dots is the only way to find out. Has a lot of time skips and focuses more on feelings than events, but starts out pre-canon when John almost gets lynched and works its way towards the end of the canon story. Chapters alternate between Arthur's and John's POV. Canon compliant :)
RDR2 "Modern AU" (title tba, multichapter, long as shit) - I only call it a modern AU for the sake of simplicity... I'm not sure if it counts as one. Set in 1999 and focuses on the case of Arthur Matthews -- a 36 year old adoptive son of the infamous criminal defence lawyer Hosea Matthews, who went missing without a trace for six months and then reappeared miles from his hometown, seemingly unharmed, but also... not quite right. Delusional, confused, suffering from some sort of memory impairment. The story is about Arthur struggling to adapt to being back home in a reality that is apparently foreign to him. Outsider's/John's POV, but not really shippy. It can be read as pre-slash, though.
My Self-Indulgent Jesse/Arthur fic (another title tba lol, it's too early to tell but I'm thinking multichapter? A collection of scenes from 1878 to 1899) - This one is for me and me only, though I will eventually post it 😂 Written in second person, like a reader-insert and can be read as one if someone wants to, but I am including Jesse's backstory and feelings that are way too specific to be immersive for anyone but myself... I'm working real hard to write it in a way that portrays growing up queer in that time somewhat realistically, so it's not always pretty, but I do try to keep it not that depressing. Features: Jesse's early-life backstory, the story of the scar, his first Gay Experience, how his brothers died, the ups and downs of his relationship with Arthur, why they eventually broke up for what felt like last time, how he got arrested (altered RDO storyline bit) and how he got back up with the gang. I'm planning to do a rough rewrite/fix-it of the canon story with him in it too, but that's... an "one day" thing ajsddjfk
Morston Omegaverse (title tba, one shot, around 10-15k probably? I can't keep things short, sorry) - Young-ish and freshly presented Alpha John, "Closeted" Omega Arthur. Ngl this one is smutty as hell... but! I think my take on omegaverse is rather fun (very transgendered) and it's porn WITH not without plot so something for everyone there lol. John's POV again + lotsa feelings, misunderstandings and some angst :) Just the way I like it.
Vandermatthews Daemon AU (had a title but ao3 yeeted my draft and I forgot what it was, oops)- I say Vandermatthews, but it's more of a "curious couple, unruly son" genfic than real slashfic 😅 This is supposed to be the beginning a series of oneshots from different characters' POV. This one is maybe a 1/3 done (needs a serious rewrite tho) and written from Hosea's POV. It's about him and Dutch finding and taking in young Arthur -- a very traumatised child who has undergone intercision and therefore lost his daemon. More of a collection of vignettes from that moment to when they take in John than a real coherent fic tho. The next one is going to be John's POV coming of age thing and we'll see where my brain will go from there. I want to do a separate big ass post about this one later because I have Opinions on the gang members' daemons that I need either challenged or validated...
1907!John/Isaac fic (title tba... a two parter, one set in the epilogue and the second is a RDR1 fix-it) - NOW HEAR ME OUT!!!!!! PUT DOWN THE GODDAMN PITCHFORKS FOR A SECOND PLS This is a plot bunny that Refused To Fucking Die. Isaac is obviously an adult in this (22), they have never met before, and the story begins in the months where Abigail and Jack were gone and John worked alone on Pronghorn ranch. It's not so much a romance (despite the slash) but more two people dealing with different types of grief in Very Unhealthy ways, okay. It's supposed to be a bit iffy because of that and the... 12 years of difference between them in this universe. I'm not trying to make this shit uwu or anything. It's also a bit of a daddy issues vent piece for me and I've been working it for MONTHS because I want to write this one right. This is the the fic I redacted in my last WIP showcase, but now decided that... fuck it. Here you go.
(Doubt anyone has made it this far, but if you did ily.. please lemme know what you think? My ask box is open for questions too... I love talking about the stuff I'm working on even if it's not posted yet ❤)
#wrote this instead of working on any of these like i promised myself i'll do today..#master of procrastination#(well i wrote like 500 words of and i'll die if that counts.. but i've been at my puter the whole day so that's like nothing rip)#rdr2#oh the joys of fic writing

Whumptober Day 1
AO3
Akito hates that this song isn’t coming together. He’s been writing and rewriting it all day and still nothing. Not helped by a horrible headache that comes and goes.
And he’s got to pick out outfits for their shows. All their friends have distinct performance wear that helps them stand out while looking like a cohesive unit. If Vivid BAD SQUAD is going to leave a mark they should have something too.
And they just finished their event so they need to consider another one, and start thinking about what to change and perfect. They still haven’t gotten the right “atmosphere.”
And he needs to practice more, he’s been falling behind again since Toya and Kohane saw RAD WEEKEND for themselves and got a new boost of energy.
And-
Someone’s shaking him.
Akito looks up to see Kamishiro-senpai staring at him, looking concerned.
“…re …ing here?” Kamishiro-senpai’s being really quiet for some reason, and the headache’s back so Akito really doesn’t feel like dealing with whatever he’s talking about.
“‘M busy, can you leave me alone?”
“…vry…gone…lunch.”
“Huh? What? I’m not hungry.”
“Aki-kun… gers… up?” Kamishiro-senpai asks. It takes Akito a second to figure out he’s asking how many fingers he’s holding up and Akito finally looks up at him.
“I dunno, twelve?” Akito says, squinting. “I don’t care about your magic tricks right now man, I’m working on something.”
“Really?” Kamishiro-senpai says, louder now. “ Because it just looks like you’re scribbling on a blank sheet of paper.”
Akito blinks and looks down. Instead of notes, there’s just a scrawled mess, just like senpai said.
“Huh.”
“What are you working on?” Kamishiro-senpai asks.
“Uhh… something.” Damn it, what was he thinking about a second ago? It’s kinda foggy. “A show, I think?”
“All right, can you hold still for me, please?” Kamishiro-senpai holds something in front of Akito’s face.
“Yeah. That’d do it. You’re running a 40 degree fever. Where’s Aoyagi-kun?”
That cuts through the haze in Akito’s mind.
“He’s busy…” Akito mumbles before slumping over. He just wants this headache to go away.
“Hmm, ok. Well let’s get you to the nurse’s office at least.”
Kamishiro-senpai is practically dragging Akito down the hall, and he collapses onto the cot.
Now that he thinks about it, his entire body hurts. He thought he was just sore from practicing last night. He’d wanted to forget that nightmare…
God, Akito knows these notes. He knows these words.
He just can’t sing them.
Why? Did he not practice enough?
Everyone in the audience is staring at him, their eyes drilling into him.
When they get off stage, no one even needs to say anything.
He’s failed them.
“Hey, Akito,” An says cautiously. “We were, um, thinking that maybe you can sit out the next show?”
Akito’s heart gets stuck in his throat.
“I’ll do better next time, don’t worry.”
“You said that last time,” Kohane says.
“I…”
“Look, Akito, it’s not that we don’t appreciate you helping us get this far…” Toya says.
But you can’t get us any further.
Even without Toya saying them out loud, the words hang around Akito like a heavy blanket.
He can’t look any of them in the eye, so he just runs out.
He feels like he’s running forever, but when he looks up he’s still in the same place.
He’s always in the same place.
Akito digs the palms of his hands into his eyes. He’d woken up after that and ran through their entire setlist until the sun rose.
Thinking back on it, he never did get back to sleep.
The sound of Toya’s footsteps helps bring Akito back to the present.
“Akito!” Toya gasps, collapsing at his side. “What’s going on?”
“Nothin’. ‘M fine.”
“Akito, come on.”
“It’s really nothing.”
“You’ve been practicing too much again,” Toya sighs. “Why? Why do you keep doing this to yourself?!”
“‘S nothing to worry about.”
“Nothing to worry about?! You’re in the nurse’s office because your fever’s so high you can’t do anything. It’s a miracle you even made it to school today in your condition instead of collapsing on the sidewalk!”
Akito winces. “I just… gotta push through…”
“Push through what?! You can’t brute force yourself into surpassing RAD WEEKEND, Akito, we’ve been over this!”
“Not that… it’s just… when I feel insecure or get worried about you leaving… I can’t let my hang ups hold us back… so when I get worried I just focus on practice instead.”
“Partner… why can’t you just talk to us about this?” Toya looks close to tears.
“Nothing to talk about… I know it’s stupid, but I still worry about it… and I don’t want to accidentally sabotage us because I’m all insecure ‘n shit. It’s my problem. I know I shouldn’t be worried but I am. But I refuse to let that be the thing that ruins us.”
“You’re not going to ruin us, Akito,” Toya says. “And I’m not going to leave, ok? I love you.”
“Don’t promise me that. Don’t force yourself to stay with me.”
“Sorry partner, I can’t do that. I love you and I’m going to stick with you.”
“If you find something better…”
“Shhh…. Try to quiet the noises in your head, we can’t compete with all that.”
Akito closes his eyes. “Sing me to sleep, partner?”
“Of course.”
