#Fern's hair changes color cuz octopus nonsense

[blenselche]

I finished my 200k finnfern fic! This thing made me go absolutely feral, I wrote it on my phone in a month lol.

Keep Yourself (redux) is my attempt at giving Fern an actual character beyond a Narcissus reference, he was very engaging as a concept and deserved better, so there's some "how do demons work, how does he deal with being one, where tf did he go in between Do No Harm and the Islands Arc" etc. I have a lot of Fern thoughts, and the fic is all of them vomited out into a more pleasant form.

“I saw Fern, when I was taken by the Lord of Eternity,” he utters against his palm before dropping it, “and he said something that’s stuck with me this whole time. I think about it constantly.” Finn glares towards his feet, narrowing his eyes and baring his teeth. “‘I can’t save everyone, and maybe not everyone needs saving. Do I really think everyone’s better off because of me.’ He was right and I got him killed because I couldn’t just accept that he didn’t need my ‘help’.” His eyes squeeze shut, knuckles turning white as he fists his hand at his side. “I’m tired, Prismo,” Finn whispers, voice crackling roughly over the tar in his lungs.

*I've put out a T rated version, so read that one if you're younger pls. I'm not your mom but let me at least try to be accommodating to your age so you're not blown over with smut. It's important that younger people are given a space in fandom but it's also important that you guys give adults our space, too. You can read the T version here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/54722422/chapters/138687334
