45 or 53 for the kiss promptssss

Thank you for the prompt! This one got a little away from me, but it's a portion of Chapter 62 of HNtF: Markings from Daniel's perspective

Fandom: Fallen Hero by @fallenhero-rebirth

WC: 946

45. relieved kisses

There had been a long and empty ocean between the blood leaking through the joints of the Mad Dog armor and the recovery bed at SRMC. Longer than Daniel cared to admit; he’d made a small point of pride out of working on his patience. It hadn’t helped here.

Richard was still out cold. Daniel knew that recovery from the various procedures he’d had could take anywhere from minutes to hours, depending on how his body tolerated them. It would tolerate them, though. Richard had a knack for that. He’d wake up soon—he’d wake up, and see that he was in a hospital. That he was exposed and injured and trapped and he’d be reactive and terrified and Daniel had made sure they removed the breathing tube as soon as the nurse so much as hinted it might not be necessary.

She’d almost tried to gently explain something—maybe that because he wasn’t next of kin, wasn’t power of attorney, wasn’t medically trained—but Daniel hadn’t been willing to hear any of it. They had said the injury didn’t affect his airways. To Daniel that meant Richard didn’t need the tube, and, he warned, if they left it in long enough for him to wake up with it still stuffed down his throat, they were going to have significantly bigger fish to fry. Kraken-scale traumatized psychic fish, but Daniel kept that part to himself.

Better for everyone if they took it out while he was still unconscious. Eventually the staff agreed, only nominally running a test or two to make it look like he hadn’t intimidated them into doing it. Not that he’d meant to intimidate them, but before he realized it, he was nearly sinking his molded plastic chair through the linoleum. It had already cracked slightly at the joints.

But that had been hours ago, and now he’d been called into the hallway, speaking in hushed tones to the doctor who was giving him his own care instructions.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve had to take care of stitches,” Daniel said for himself, unable to stop from looking back over towards Richard’s room. At least Ortega was in there now, taking the place of two nurses who had gone in to check him and run vitals. The doctor to his side coughed gently and politeness slammed into his sternum. Daniel pivoted in the air. “Thank you, I’ll be sure to follow up with my own doctors back in Los Diablos if I have any questions,” he wouldn’t. He knew how it would go, itching and tight, then plasticky smooth. That it was on his face would take more adjusting to—seeing it in the mirror. It already pulled the corner of his mouth oddly.

Richard had nearly died trying to keep him from getting it. Had kept that blade from sinking through his face instead of merely across it and had nearly died for his trouble. And all Daniel’s brain could bring a highlighter marker to was the paralytic fear of seeing Mad Dog rushing at him again. Shrieking at the sight of that red and brown and black and desperate: it was coming to kill him. Coming to finish what he had started and beat him into a bloody pulp on the floor of the place that had birthed it. Except it had been to save him, even as, for a split second, reality had shifted. There had been a nauseating slip of perception that even his well honed sense of vertigo couldn’t...

His voice. Richard’s voice, weak and cracked but Daniel knew the sound of it too intimately for it to be confused with anyone or anything else. Awake. Daniel nearly brushed the ceiling.

Every other thought in his mind was violently clamped down on. Vacuum sealed, double wrapped and chained away, buried deep in the bowels of his mind. Unneeded and unnecessary. Richard was alive, awake, and that was all that mattered in the moment.

He knocked on the door jam but didn’t bother waiting for the invitation. Distantly, he knew Ortega was in the room. It didn’t matter in the least. Richard was alive and saying his name through five hundred feet of gravel, face crumpled and bruised and cracking under the weight of it.

There was nothing he could say, nothing to be said, nothing his mouth could fathom doing beyond pressing down against Richard’s cracked lips and kissing him like a dying man.

Alive. Alive and talking and saying his name and Daniel only felt the tremble after it had passed through him. The pitiful, uncontrollable shaking relief in his lungs. Alive, awake, okay. He’d done it. He’d been quick enough—he’d forced himself past his limits to the point where it had actually threatened something inside him. But he’d done it. Not quick enough to keep Richard from…but quick enough to keep Richard’s dumb, reckless, selfish, stupid, suicidal, idiotic impulses from getting himself killed.

His hands had done the work of coming to cradle Richard’s face. Of holding him still long enough to breathe into the touches and the shaking between them. Richard managed to be gentle when he prodded Daniel’s left cheek in the space after the kiss. It may have lingered, but whatever was going on Richard’s head was starting to sidle into his own and it didn’t feel like an accident.

Relief to mirror his own. Desperate relief that he, Daniel, hadn’t been hurt worse. The hand on his cheek slipped back into his hair as Richard urged him back down, into a kiss that only held love for him. Daniel did what he could to send it back in spades.

[goldfish-fhr]

Wip whenever

Tagged by: @ladyshivs 💐 heeeey 🤭 thxs for thinking of me and I’m excited for that new chap of hntf to come out 💕💕💕

Tag you’re it (unless you’re too fast 🏃‍♂️💨) : @iggydabirdkid @milkyway0110 @silvery-bluish

I have been so laaaaazy 😭 so I haven’t really been working on anything I guess there’s this silly little sketch:

And I’m always skipping around on my fics 😔 I leave them alone for months 😞 poor things:

Marcos can see when it clicks on Chen's face, eyes widening just a fraction, his thoughts are too calm—like he knew this apology was coming at some point but not really when. Not over tea.

“You always have been. A lot of good things”

A memory—a flash of teal—the smile grows strained on his face.

He can’t help the small pettiness that rises in him—a small bite—a nip really.

“You’ve always thought the worst of me” the glare is fixed to Chen. Something he never had the balls to do when he was younger—old hurt that festered only now finally healing.

“Telepathy scares you” it’s a statement, a cold one at that.

Chen does not look away. “Unnerves me”

“You have plenty of reason to be nervous or unerved…or scared.” He can’t bring himself to keep looking at him. Less because he’s intimidated more because he’s guilty.

“or paranoid.”

Looking back up, “it’s all warranted.”

Hellooo

So It's me hi

Again

You know me already

So let's got to it

This time a bit snippetery but not really let me explain.

Basically from each WIP you have, Geranium, endless sunlight, hntf and sisstg (not counting the rest of tlf as I think you have more advanced these ones) you have to give 5 facts (choosing the gabrily property number? you can bet on it)

Which can be things that may or may not happen, backstage ideas, headcanons you have of that universe in each of them that hasn been mentioned (like I see in ES that Kit owned a dog at some point, even if this doesnt show in the story´), things that have surprised you of them while writing, or reactions you didnt expect, or comments of them you loved. Very very free basically

So that's it

Good weekend

Hi Anon,

I reply here to your other question because you forgot to put the anonymous function and I don’t know if you want your nickname to be public. 5 is totally fine as a number!

The thing is that I talk so much about my fanfics that most facts are known now. But I will try to see if there are new facts!

How (not) to end a feud

1. I had the idea for this story because I was getting super bored during a course.

2. Poor Joshua was created mostly to make Kit jealous. He will have a good conclusion, though, just not a romantic conclusion.

3. I discarded an idea about Kit feeling proud if Joshua got himself off while hearing him and Grace having sex, but I deleted it because Kit isn’t that much of an asshole.

4. Old Isidore being gay and having a relationship with the town priest when he was young are amazing ideas by @fimproda

5. You know the scene where Grace tells Kit that Old Isidore knew the truth about Kit? I imagine that conversation on the porch of the house, both of them on an armchair with Grace holding Little Isidore (a few months old at this time) as he sleeps on her chest. There's the sunset as they speak, and after Grace confirms what Old Isidore suspects about her husband, she kisses Little Isidore's head and says something like "He's the only thing I have left of my husband."

Geranium

1. The foreshadowing in chapter 1 for what happens in chapter 5 is much more obvious than you think. It's the kind of thing "so obvious I rule it out immediately".

2. I told @fimproda the ideas for Cecily giving Alex to Grace (chapter 2) and Cecily defending Grace from the mean thing her nieces say (chapter 3) at 4 a.m. when I was drunk. Poor woman she had to listen my drunk rambling the morning after...

3. I said it for the meme, but I literally don’t know how it became from a Gracetopher to be focused on Cecily and Grace. At some point it just happened that Grace was super paranoid about Cecily’s opinion of her, and wanted her attention, and wanted to be loved like a daughter but at the same time was scared of this love. In any case, the both of us loved this change.

4. I told quite randomly to my friend that I had the intention of inserting a line like "can you please hug me and pretend to be my mom?" and she said I had to find a way to insert it because she loved it.

5. Somehow @fimproda can make the scenes even more disturbing. When you read her version of the chapter preview I posted today, you will understand what I mean.

Still insists she sees the ghosts

1. The title is a misquote of a book I love.

2. I will do something I never did: a third rewrite.

3. I'm a bit scared that for months there was too much hype about this fanfic that it won’t actually be at the height of your expectations.

4. I was a bit worried that ChoT would contraddict something in the later chapters, but that plotline was totally overlooked so I can use it however I want to.

5. The main functionality of Cecily’s POV at 18 is to set up and explain why in the current timeline she acts a certain way. I hope the final result will make sense.

Endless Sunlight

1. There's a scene heavily inspired by V for Vendetta. You will recognize it immediately.

2. It's not a big spoiler since you will see it immediately in chapter 1, but Kit took over Chiswick Manor. He did a lot of renovations and it will be cool describing the new version through Grace’s eyes who only saw the decaying house in canon.

3. It's heavily influenced by videogames, especially the fighting scenes are very Dark Souls like. It will be fun to see the result since I never wrote fights...

4. One of the big changes you will find in Thule, happened already in TID years. I loved playing domino with the events and the consequences they have.

5. There's a BDSM scene.

I think it’s all and (almost) everything should be news ahah

Thanks for passing here once again!
