#I GOT IT DONE

[cdelphiki]

“He is not really your brother,” Damian sneered, “He is mine. You are just here because he felt sorry for you.” 

“Damian,” Jason shouted, hoping Damian got the message to shut his fucking mouth. 

Who just went saying shit like that?

Although Jason was going to hold it over Damian’s head forever that he admitted Jason was his brother. 

“He’s kind of an asshole, isn’t he?” Jason whispered to Attie, as he fully freed himself from her and pushed himself to his feet. 

Athanasia didn’t answer him, but Jason could tell by the tiny little smirk she agreed.

“He gets that from his father,” Jason whispered. 

That made Attie smile wider as she asked, “Father is an asshole?” 

“Okay,” Jason said, stopping after only taking a single step toward the bedroom door, “That is a bad word, don't say bad words, forget I said it. But yeah, he’s kind of a jerk.” 

“I’m not a jerk,” Attie declared, as she jumped off her bed to follow Jason. 

“No you aren’t, I agree,” Jason said. He needed to go talk to Damian, probably. And Mara. 

Jason made his way back out to the living room in half a dozen steps and outright froze.

Because there was only one brat out there. 

“Where did she go?” Jason asked, as he frantically looked in the empty bathroom, then into the kitchen, where there was still no Mara. 

“She left, finally,” Damian said, from where he was casually sitting on the damn couch.

i have many au questions so I'm going to ramble my thoughts 👀 are other people in the universe aware things are falling apart? Can they see or sense the glitches the way Afton can? Or is it specifically just him that reality is falling apart for? If it's the former, what does that means for all the other people in the world, do they die? would they even realize before it happened? If papers can randomly be pulled from one reality and dropped into the place Afton fell into, can random living people be pulled from different realities and dropped there accidentally/intentionally too? Are the other spirits still around? Or did "Something" inadvertently destroy them when they broke reality to get to Afton? Can "Something" actually remember the others and the reason they're so angry with him? or is it just the raw emotions left behind? Oh and if reality is only falling apart for Afton specifically, how do others react to him slipping out of reality and disappearing? Or is there anyone at all that would even notice him missing? (either his kids that were looking for him, henry, or even the phone dude at fazbear frights?) Which actually- where in the canon timeline would this AU fall? Or does it have any major canon diversion pre-reality breaking down? (sorry that was longer than I meant for it to be)

UAGSHHSSSHHSJS I know who you are anon. I know. :], ANYWAYS UH

are other people in the universe aware things are falling apart? Can they see or sense the glitches the way Afton can? Or is it specifically just him that reality is falling apart for? If it's the former, what does that means for all the other people in the world, do they die? would they even realize before it happened?

it's a bit of a mixed bag, others can see, others cannot see. And it's completely random on who it picks to be able to see the glitches, and even be able to do something about it. The people aren't really able to do much for the others who aren't able to see them, as they're going to be far long gone anyways. This is all about survival and their own safety. For the people who aren't able to see them, they'll be deleted from existence once the glitches start to catch up on them, they would end up being forgotten completely. And there's no way to be able to get them back. And I'd imagine they would, just for a split second before their code and function completely gets devoured by the glitch.

If papers can randomly be pulled from one reality and dropped into the place Afton fell into, can random living people be pulled from different realities and dropped there accidentally/intentionally too?

I'd imagine people can be pulled down by the reality that Afton is in, but usually it's more of a rare case. As despite it being possible, normal living people wouldn't be able to survive being stuck inside there, as you'd lose track of your time and everything that's logical entirely. But… There are some cases where other things are able to appear.

Are the other spirits still around? Or did "Something" inadvertently destroy them when they broke reality to get to Afton?

The other spirits are still around, but not in the way you think. "Something" didn't destroy them, but consumed their existence In a way that makes it more powerful, and adds more onto their rage. The others are still there, they're partially fused with "Something", even if they didn't want this. They had no choice, and overtime their humanity will be completely stripped away from them as well.

Can "Something" actually remember the others and the reason they're so angry with him? or is it just the raw emotions left behind?

All that "Something" remembers is the fact that Afton needs to be put through Hell for what he's done, it doesn't remember why though, their rage and vengeance just consuming them to the point where it has forgotten what happened to it, to all of them. Just that Afton needs to pay.

Also, fun fact! This is what Something views Afton whenever they encounter each other. :]

Oh and if reality is only falling apart for Afton specifically, how do others react to him slipping out of reality and disappearing? Or is there anyone at all that would even notice him missing? (either his kids that were looking for him, henry, or even the phone dude at fazbear frights?)

Ohhh that's an interesting one actually… Well since the au stuff isn't set in stone, if it is only falling apart for Afton, people would definitely start to notice his disappearance, but after a while things would start to go back to normal, for them anyway. And normal as in they forget about Afton, and they forget that he even existed, and he may or may not just get replaced by something else to fill the story. But if in a different scenario of them reacting to him slipping out of existence I'd imagine it would definitely fuck things up in the canon, as this wasn't supposed to happen. The events that were supposed to be layed out, never end up happening, and the original storyline ends up becoming a complete jumbled unfinished mess. Michael would definitely be trying to find a way to be able to fix everything, especially as he'd be one, if not, the only few people who's actually able to see these things happening.

Which actually- where in the canon timeline would this AU fall? Or does it have any major canon diversion pre-reality breaking down?

It isn't completely set in stone yet, but it does have its canon moments and non canon moments. I'd imagine personally, it falls on perhaps after he ends up getting out of the safe room, and being put into the fright. And for the fright, it isn't really… the original fright to be specific? I'd imagine it would have its huge expansions, as it had bigger plans set in mind. I'm not quite sure yet… but you all would definitely find out soon :]

ALSO THANK YOU LIKE AGAIN FOR MAKING ME BE ABLE TO RAMBLE AND MAKE DOODLES OF THIS AU HDHBNSKISHD PLEASE if you have any questions of any aus of mine ask me!

Lover’s Pond Proposal

Day 6; Proposal

Read on AO3

Twilight had to start preparing months out. He lived in Wild’s Hyrule now, but for all of that, he still knew very little of it, really. He knew the land nearly as well as Wild did, but had no idea of the people in the settlements. It was almost by luck he met Dento when he and Wild were visiting Zora’s Domain so Wild could spend time with Sidon. He got to talk with Dento for a bit, and found out he was a skilled silver craftsman. Twilight asked if he could commission a work in secret. Dento looked suspicious, until Twilight explained the project, then he grew a wide smile and agreed.

Dento didn’t take long to make it, but Twilight wasn’t able to make his way back to the Domain for weeks. It was another trip he and Wild took to the domain that let him pick up the precious gift. A silver cord interwoven with itself into a band to make a ring, with ‘my beloved Wild’ inscribed on the inside. Dento keep it in a small case to keep it safe. Twilight thanked him immensely, but Dento waved him off, and just told him to treat him well, which Twilight agreed he would.

He just… couldn’t decide when to pop the question. They already promised themselves to each other, would marriage be redundant? He decided to ask the only person he thought might have answers, besides his Love. Zelda. He made the trek up to the lab to talk with her. He knocked on the door, then when he got no answer, again. On the third, louder knock, he got a reply.

“For all that is holy, get in here already!” Purah shouted in her youthful voice. Twilight jumped, but opened the door and stepped in.

The scene was a hectic one. Zelda was working on some pad, while Purah was elbows deep in the guidance stone, making modifications, parts strewn across the plant form they were working on. Zelda glanced at him before returning to her screen.

“Ah, Twilight, good to see you. What can I help with?” She asked.

“Ummm. I wanted to get your advice on something…” he admitted shyly.

“I’m all ears.” She said, not turning from her pad.

“I- ,” realizing he won’t get the privacy he wanted, he’d have to settle for the room knowing.

“I want to propose to Wild, but I don’t know when would be the best time.”

Some tool clattered to the floor, likely dropped by Purah. Twilight refused to look at her, keeping his focus on Zelda. She turned toward him, face in a small, friendly smile.

“Let’s get some tea, shall we?”

Sat at the work table, Purah and Zelda stared expectantly at him.

“Twilight, you said you want to propose to Wild, right? Let’s start with that, why delay?” Zelda asked.

“I’m nervous, I don’t think he'll say no, but what’s worse is that he might feel like he can’t say no. We’ve already promised to each other to spend the rest of our days together. So he might think he has to agree, or that what we already have wasn’t real, when that isn’t the case at all!” Twilight explained, somewhat frantic. Zelda considered his words before speaking.

“I understand why you’d be nervous if those are your thoughts, but to be honest; do you really think Wild would be anything other than ecstatic that you proposed to him? He loves you so dearly, I doubt what you’ve described would be the case.” Zelda tells him. Twilight squirms a bit.

“I- I really want to make him happy. But I don’t know if marriage would make him happy…” Twilight admits. Zelda smiles kindly at him.

“Twilight, I can assure you, asking Wild to marry you would delight him. He loves you so much, and another promise to spend your days together would be wonderful for him. Because that’s what it is; another promise. It doesn't cancel out, or undermine your promise. It’s another promise. So please, don’t let that be a barrier to asking him.” Zelda reassures him.

“I- I hadn’t thought of it that way. Another promise. Thank you, Zelda. I think I’ll ask him on our anniversary in a few months.” Twilight smiled at them, jumping up with new energy.

“And Twilight?” Zelda asked.

“Yeah, Zelda?” He looked back, grinning.

“If you do anything to hurt him, I’ll hand you over to Purah for experiment, do I make myself clear?” She warned cooly. Purah made a small noise of interest over her tea. Twilight gulped.

“I would never, I swear it.” He reassured her.

“See that you don’t.” She continued with her chilled stare as he left.

***

Wild had to make sure this went perfectly. He got Isha to make the ring, a beautiful golden ring carved with interlocking golden leaves etched in. He timidly asked her to inscribe the inside too. It was a bit embarrassing to ask, but she was utterly patient and kind, making the ring perfectly for his love.

Wild was excited when he picked up the ring several days later. Isha looked tired, but very proud, and all smiles as she gave it to him in a little box. He opened it, and it was stunning. The detail on the leaf pattern was perfect, and he got giddy reading the inscription, ‘my true heart’.

Despite Isha’s perfect work, Wild was anxious. Incredibly anxious, and nervous. The ring was perfect, but he wasn’t sure if his boyfriend would agree to become his fiancé. He didn’t really have anyone to talk about this with. Normally he’d talk to Twilight, but that was out of the question for this, so Wild just stewed in his nerves for weeks. Their anniversary was coming up. They planned to go to Lover’s Pond.

He was having lunch with Zelda so they could talk over some plans.

“So of course I’ll be coming to take nice pictures of your anniversary dinner. I’ll be sure to get good angles of you both and take plenty of extras.” Zelda reassured. Wild wasn’t really listening though.

“Mmmm-hmm.” He hummed while playing with the rice and chicken.

“The weather should be fine this time of year, too, so we won’t have to worry about rain showers, except perhaps a spurt.” She continued.

“Mmm-hmmm.”

“And the monsters have been cleared from the area for months…”

“Mm-hmmmm.”

“And the Blood Moon will come out right at noon and eat you both.”

“Mm-what??” Wild looked up at her, confused.

“Just making sure you're listening,” Zelda chuckled, “what’s got your head in the clouds? I thought that was Sky’s job?”

“It’s… I have a surprise planned, but I don’t know if I should go through with it, I’m… nervous.” He admitted.

“You? Nervous? Must be something you can’t fight, what is the surprise?” She asked. Wild looked around to make sure they had a modicum of privacy, and lowered his voice.

“I want to propose to Twilight on our anniversary.” Wild whispered. Zelda shrieked and giggled, Wild tried to shush her.

“Oh my goodness that’s wonderful!!” Zelda barely whispered, excited. Her smiled faded at Wild’s unsure face.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to marry him?” She asked, concerned.

“More than anything else in the world. I just- what if he doesn’t want to marry me? We’ve talked about our future, spending the rest of our days together, but never explicitly talked about marriage. And I know…I know he wants kids, and obviously I can’t-“ Wild rambled, before Zelda physically covered his running mouth with a stern glare.

“Stop that right now, Wild. You're dangerously close to speaking poorly of my best friend.” She scolded. He glared back, and licked her hand. She wiped it on his shoulder, to his yelling.

“You deserved that, you gremlin. Now, listen. Twilight loves you. Not what you can give him. He would be perfectly happy being the old farmer who watches after everyone else’s kids, as long as you are there with him, alright?” Zelda explained, taking up her fork again, while Wild cleaned his tunic with a napkin, looking a bit dour.

“I know that, and he’d never complain, or bring it up. But I see the way he looks at the village kids. It’s almost the way he looked at me before we figured our shit out-“

“Painful months” Zelda quipped, taking a bite.

“- and I’d love that, but I can’t really do that, neither can he. And when we’re old and gray, seeing that look in his eyes would kill me, because it means I denied him that, and when I realize that when I look at him, it hurts so much. What if-“ Wild cuts himself off.

“Go on…?” Zelda prompts, knowing where Wild’s thoughts led him.

“What if he regrets marrying me? What if he realizes he’s missed out on something he wants, and blames me for it?” Wild chokes out, sobbing quietly.

Zelda put down her fork, and pinched the bridge of her nose.

“Wild…Twilight loves kids, that is true, but have you actually talked about having kids? If it turns out you two want kids, you two, of anyone, could figure something out. Adoption, surrogacy, to name options. Just because you two cannot have your own kids, does not mean you cannot raise a child. I really think you’re overthinking this, and ended up in one of your anxious spirals.” Zelda explained.

“How do you know that though? That I’m not bringing up completely valid concerns?” Wild protested.

“Because I know my best friend, and his boyfriend, and I know you’re both too focused on each other, to think outside the box about that.” Zelda explained with a smirk.

“Fine. I guess you’re right. I hadn’t thought of adoption. What’s- surrugaccy?” Wild asked, befuddled.

“Oh boy…” Zelda sighed.

One awkward conversation later, they finished their lunch.

“Thanks, Zelda. I feel a lot better now.” Wild gave her a big hug before they parted.

“Anytime, and I’ll be there to take pictures, so if you need another talk, I’ll be there!” She reminded him. He chuckled, nodding. She really was the best.

***

Lover’s Pone really was a perfect place to spend their anniversary. The weather was perfect, and the picnic was similarly warm and delicious, and fresh, thanks to Wild’s Slate. It really was the perfect day, he could spend forever here with Wild, they can be together like this for as long as they want.

Twilight had butterflies. He always did around Wild, but where normally it’s a flutter, it feels like a massive swarm now, stuck between nervous and excited. Hearing his sunshine laughter to a joke he made, caused the excited flutter to edge out.

“Wild, do you want to dance?” Twilight asked.

“With you, always, Pup.” Wild smiled using the shortened name, with Zelda being on the other side of the pond, taking pictures for their anniversary. Twilight blushed, but stood easily, offered Wild a hand, which he took. Twilight pulled him up, right into an embrace, Wilds arms coming to his sides naturally, and Twilight resting one arm on Wild’s shoulder, the other playing with his hair. Wild hummed, pleased, and leaned his head into Twilight’s hand.

They stayed like that, just swaying back and forth, enjoying the contact, not really moving enough to call it dancing, just shuffling their feet back and forth, holding each other. Just staring across the shiort gap between their faces, until Wild took his hand and tilted his head, to pull Twilight’s hand from his head, and kiss his palm, and he looked at him with such love that Twilight he wanted to ask now. He pulled out the little box with the silver ring safe inside.

“Wild-“

“Twilight-“

He went to kneel in front of him, but Wild stayed level with him, unexpectedly. It was when their bent knees bashed into each other, and Twilight lost his balance, falling to the side, toward the pond, Wild tried to catch him, but their bashed knees ruined both of their stances, and They plunged into the Pond together, holding each other. It was only seconds before they both righted themselves, and sat up in the shallow water, and stared at each other before breaking out into laughter.

“What were you doing? You look ridiculous!” Wild laughed as Twilight’s wet puppy look, his normally fluffy, thick hair now flattened to his head. Twilight chuckled at the ridiculous situation, before breaking out into a full laugh at Wild’s own laughter. Even laughing, they didn’t want to let go of the other, and their foreheads were pressed together even as they both laughed. Wild suppressed his urge to keep laughing, and looked a bit sheepish so close.

“So…” Wild began again after getting his breathing under control.

“So…” Twilight repeated, just enjoying the moment.

“So…” Wild started again, “I love you so much, Twilight. We had a really slow start, and a few trips, but I love you so much,” he pulled out a small polished box, and Twilight's eyes widened in surprise, “so, I want to ask, will you marry me?” Wild finished, flipping open the lid, revealing a beautiful golden band. Twilight blanked out for a moment, before smiling like a giddy kid, pulling out his own box with the ring.

“That is so not fair, I was about to ask you to marry me. Wild, you are my everything. You helped me get over my funk, and learn that it’s okay to love again, even when I was a giant idiot about it. Will you please marry this love-struck idiot?” Twilight finished, flipping his own box open, showing Wild the silver ring.

The smile Wild gave alone was worth the wait, and Twilight was certain his own grin was much the same. They put the rings on each other’s fingers, and kissed, sitting in a pond, covered in pond muck, save their ringed fingers they washed a bit, and it was perfect. Because he was engaged to Wild, his wonderful, sweet, clever, devious fiancé. Twilight got more butterflies just thinking that. His fiancé. Wild is his fiancé.

He listened, their hands intertwined. Out of the pond now, as Wild regaled about the ring, and how he chose the design and how Isha was great. Zelda agreed that Isha was great at making jewelry, and Twilight offered that he got Wild’s ring made by Dento in Zora’s Domain.

“I thought the work looked familiar! It's really very beautiful, Twi, thank you…wait, is that why you disappeared for hours on our last few trips to the Domain?” Wild added, giving Twilight a kiss on the cheek, to which he flushed full red.

***

“You’ll be pleased to know, the pictures came out perfectly!” Zelda proclaimed, wandering over to their outdoor picnic table where they were lounging.

“From the anniversary picnic?” Wild asked excitedly. He loved getting photos printed.

“And the engagement!” Zelda reassured.

Wait a second.

“Wait, you mean the engagement where we both fell into the pond? You got pictures of that??” Twilight confirmed, Wild's eyes widened in horror and Zelda’s narrowed in evil glee.

“The very same.” She confirmed.

“Zelda, you cannot share those with anyone, that’s so embarrassing…!” Wild whined at her, releasing Twilight's hand for the first time in hours in order to beg.

“I can do what I like with my photos.” Zelda held firm, to Wilds pouting. His hand was cold.

“Zelda, it would be a shame if Wolfie stopped helping you with your animal research, because he’s too ashamed to show his face.” Twilight warned with a smirk. Zelda glared. His hand was still cold.

“You-!! Oh, fine, I won’t be sharing them, but I do get to keep them so I can laugh at them.” She acquiesced. Twilight took Wild’s hand back into his, giving the back of it a kiss before they relaxed again, to enjoy the sunset.

g get it get it because she longs for the sea (loving someone again) (having someone to protect) but is afraid of the water (the consequences of that) (failing again) and maybe the sea is inside her (her mother) (the memories she carries with her) and like a raft sailing a raging river (protecting seven) (remembering why she became a killer) (the same water of loving someone but in a different form) and maybe the river is inside her (contrary to her season 2 beliefs she is not being dragged along into it) (but this is the sea she carries inside her in the form it took after everythign that happened) (oh my god i'm so fuckign tired ghelp)

they'll fund a genocide and let their poor regions be destroyed. don't fucking forgive them for that.

my hometown is completely gone from what pictures i can find of it, i have not heard from my family (including aunts, uncles, parents, one sibling, and a grandparent), and the infrastructure in the mountain communities is wiped out. i cannot stress how catastrophic this is, or how difficult it will be for these communities to build back. i am angry, and scared, and heartbroken by everything that's happened.

and our government is spending it's money to fund a genocide.

free palestine, and don't be complicit. realize that this is not something happening that doesn't affect you--although it shouldn't take this to care about the deaths of thousands of people anyway.

Fanfiction gets a bad wrap, but I have literally never betad a fic as bad as this book.

I am legitimately considering posting my rates at this point 'cause I would take anything better than this.

I wish I had the balls of a middle aged white man because I would never let something this shit make it out of the drafts much less send it to a person for proper editing.
