#I love having a little spoopy monster au.

[cleocatrablossy]

He looks.

[naffeclipse]

I absolutely adore every AU you come up with, but I was actually curious if you had already or were considering writing a traditional DCAxReader? Hopefully I can kick this art block soon because there is so much fanart I want to draw of your stories :) Hope your week is going well! (besides the roof disaster ^^;;;)

On another note... AUs are my brainrot and I keep thinking about that post about the large bed... and spoopy ghosts. Clipgeist? No running away from something that can follow you to the ends of the Earth. Poor Y/Ns just can't catch a break lol

I have a few canon stories with the DCA x Reader on my Ao3 but nothing as grand or long as my AUs! I do have a 'canon' story plotted but I don't know when I'll write it. Hopefully one day!

Ah, that's so exciting! I hope you can chisel that art block down hehe 

It's going good (aside from the roof ;-;) I have this week of school before we go on break for Thanksgiving and it can't come soon enough!

Shaking your hand so hard rn!! I love AUs! And a spooky ghost one? Oh ho, I've always wanted to write a domestic monster scenario!

Perhaps Y/N moves into an old, old house with steep roofs, pointed arches above the windows and doors, and a lovely porch. It's two and a half stories tall (the half story is attic space under the roof rafters) with a four-story central spired tower! All dark wood and even darker interiors. You can't desire if it's Dracula's castle or a fairytale home for the happily ever-after-ed prince and princess. It's even got a secret underground tunnel! What more do you need when flipping a home? You love restoration and you intend to keep all its gothic charm while updating it to be, well, livable.

It's also incredibly cheap! Like, stupid cheap, for something that should be incredibly pricey for its prestige style and historical value. Not that you've ever looked a gift horse in the mouth, but even you have second thoughts before ultimately snatching up the house key.

The first night is always unsettling—maybe you hear a voice whisper in your ear despite it being dead silent and there's not a soul for miles, but you'll brush that off as getting spooked by old ghost stories your brain conjures up within the ornate decorated rooms.

From there, things get stranger and stranger still. Your paintbrush is moved and you know you didn't set it there because of the wet paint dripping onto the floor. The electricity is ever fickle, turning off at the most opportune moments during the night, like when you swear you saw a figure standing at the end of the hallway, all thin and scraggly with a ghostly smile and an inhuman head framed with wavering energy that almost seems to glow like embers in the dark!

Still, you continue your repairs and restorations, sometimes softly talking to yourself out loud and talking to the house like it's a wounded animal you intend to restore back to its fittest with all the love you can pour out of your heart. Places need love, too.

The most obnoxious thing is that you can't access the tower—the door is always locked, and no matter what key you try, it refuses to budge. You don't dare risk causing damage by prying it open, but you swear you'll get into that tower one day. There's got to be treasure inside with how mysteriously it stands, just out of your reach. Though, you've mostly put it aside for now. Whenever you jingle keys in the lock, you swear you hear a voice grow angry with you, and the hallway becomes so cold you can see your breath.

So, yeah, you're saving that for later.

The pivotal moment of you even considering a haunting is one night when you find yourself overwhelmed and stressed from the ever-growing list of chores and how everything is falling apart faster than you can fix it. You dissolve on the living room floor into thick tears. You're usually so put together, even when alone. You hate crying. There's no one to hold you together except yourself, so why fall apart in the first place?

Your little moment of getting it out is interrupted when a quilt falls over your shoulders. A soft, heavy quilt of midnight skies and dotted pale blue stars that was never in this room.

You leap to your feet, quilt falling away, and call out in classic horror victim fashion, "Who's there?" but no one answers. In frozen terror, you stare at the room, expecting something, anything to jump out or scream at you, but it's so, so quiet. All is still, like apologetic comfort.

That couldn't have happened. No draft, no forgetfulness could explain how a quilt was draped over you as if by a concerned friend.

You stare at the quilt and decide that you've had a long day. You go to your room, unable to relax even once you're under the covers, feeling something cold and misty above your bed.

When you wake in the morning, that starry quilt is draped over your lying form. You did not put it there.

Something or someone else tucked it around you.

Horror Hisoillu for Spoopy Month

Here are some of my favorite bits of the horror short I'm writing for Patreon this month. You can sign up to read this story early, but it'll be on AO3 by the end of the month either way :)

An AU where the Zoldycks are aristocrats, not assassins:

Illumi moves into the once-abandoned room in the north wing of the Zoldyck manor and hears strange screams from the mountain’s peak each night. Sometimes, if he listens long enough, the sounds morph into unnatural laughter. But it’s nothing--the only things that lurk outside are foxes on a hunt. There’s nothing inhuman, calling for him, asking him to step into the dark.

Still, he steps.

Trigger warnings (from what I've written so far...) include cannibalism, monster fucking, shapeshifting cocks, sex during and after murder, canon-typical child abuse, and suicidal thoughts.

#

A fox, when cornered in a fight, has a voice that screams. It’s a horrible sound; like there’s a man out in the woods trapped in a dark, unfathomable horror. Like a man who can’t even speak out of his fear. Like a man that can do nothing but scream, scream, scream.

And the sound echoes. For miles, sometimes, if the wind catches it.

Illumi heard the sounds from his very first night inside his new room at the Zoldyck manor. It wasn’t a room he wanted--and the room, itself, seemed to share the sentiment. It had sat long abandoned in the north wing of their home, door closed, its few contents collecting a century’s worth of dust and spiders and rats. 

It was cleaned, of course, before Illumi moved in. His parents weren’t great providers, but they did employ an entire staff of butlers to keep their aristocratic children clean and fed.

Even with it prepared for his arrival, the room held onto a chill; the gray stone walls that rose fifteen feet into the air cared little for Illumi’s comfort, it seemed. Even after he lit a fire, heat seemed to whisper away, into nothingness, leaving him chilled and uncomfortable alone in his bed.

Alone--except for the sounds.

He could hear the foxes scream through his bedroom window--an enormous four-paned arch that was covered in a thick canopy of curtains. The sounds didn’t alarm him, at first, because he knew it had to be some animal in the woods. He searched it on his phone, after a time, and decided that yes--it was a fox. Maybe more than one.

But there was a small, unspoken part of him that thought there may be something unnatural out there. Screaming. The worst part was that sometimes--only sometimes--the scream would end in a laugh. A cackle. He ignored that part. 

#

The creature was upon him in a moment flat, before he could react, and he was thrown backwards, until he hit the tree hard enough to knock the air from his chest. He coughed, hands scrambling up to protect his face as the thing breathed hot, wet, bloody air against his skin.

“A hunter?” asked it.

“No,” said Illumi, his voice caught as he tried to get air into his body again. “I am from the manor.”

“A Zoldyck-k-k-k-ke-he-he he he he,” cackled the thing.

“Yes,” Illumi said. “You know of us.”

“Yes. We were fed one of you once. Sweet flesh.”

The horror that gripped Illumi could have made him spew sick all over the beast, if his body worked right. But instead, he continued to choke on air, and he shook his head. They had eaten a Zoldyck? When? Who?

Why?

“What are you,” Illumi asked, his chest burning for air.

“Foxes,” said the beast. It leaned in until its face touched the top of Illumi’s head and it breathed in, stirring his hair, and the thing shuddered. “Sweet smell. Sweet flesh. We’ll eat you tonight.”

Oh, how unfair. That he would die to a mysterious creature on some fall night; cold, away from a room he didn’t want, away from a family he didn’t love, on the land that didn’t belong to him.

#

The creature’s head rolled back and off its shoulders and into the earth below.

Illumi’s intake of air seemed stunningly loud to his ears. He stared forward until the other fox-beast stepped into his vision, front leg raised and pointed razor-sharp like the end of a sword. It had cut the thing’s head off.

The beast’s body finally collapsed away from Illumi, leaving him exposed to the moon, the air, and the one remaining…fox.

Its body cracked audibly as it morphed. Illumi couldn’t be sure he saw it right--some of the shapes were dark, shadowed, but after a moment, it looked more like a man than a beast. The limbs were still too long. He was at least seven feet tall, now. He--yes--he was naked, too. Illumi was too deeply shocked to react with more than a warming of his cheeks as the thing approached.

“Go home,” he said.

Illumi couldn’t move, at least not yet. But his mouth opened. “I--I do not understand.”

“I will eat on his flesh tonight. Not yours.”

“You eat your own?”

The fox-man’s head tilted curiously and a smile grew upon his angular lips. “You do not?”

“No.”

“But the humans taste so sweet. You don’t know?”

Illumi shook his head no this time.

“Do you want to know?”

Illumi paused. “You ask if I want to cannibalize other…people?” His heart leapt into his throat. “I don’t.”

A laugh erupted from the fox-man. “You do. You lie, but you do. You do wish to taste. You want to know if it’s as sweet as I say. It isss-s-s. Like ripened fruit. Like honey dripping from a hive--” He approached. 

As he got closer, Illumi could see his face with true clarity and the warm blush on his cheeks grew more intense. The fox-man was--severe-looking. Angular. Prominent cheekbones and glowing yellow eyes. And ruddy, red hair that fell against pale flesh. 

He was beautiful. His deep voice seemed to purr as he said, “Shall I feed you?”

Creeping into your inbox with the great joy that we have such similar taste in horror! I was wondering what your favourite horror movies/shows/books are? I'm always on the lookout for more stuff :D

Oh! Well. *◡*

Some off the top of my head (shoving this under a cut for the long, rambling opinions in which I hope you find something useful). 

Movies: My current, contemporary favourite is definitely The Witch. It’s peak everything - period-piece, atmosphere, folklore/religious horror - everything I love. Absolute masterwork of minimalist horror.

As for what’s stuck with me, The Mist - took it like a fist to the face and still think about it all the time. There’ve been some other decent religious/folky horror stuff I’ve like over the past few years - Let the Right One In (book and movie both) The Omen (excellent buildup) and more recently Antlers (doubles as a monster movie), because I am obsessed with Wendigo lore. I know they’re kinda spoopy now but when I was a tween I was also a big sucker for The Village and Signs, ha. Again, mostly for the atmospheric buildup of dread, and The Village for its evocation of folksy, Puritanical horror. 

I’m a sucker for some monster movies as well, even semi-trashy ones like Cloverfield. I love the big monster-reveal moment. Prometheus, for the same reason. More interestingly, The Host (which is Korean) but adjacent to that are some of the classic Japanese horrors like Ring and the Grudge, especially The Grudge - both versions - which changed me forever. 

Series: Midnight Mass (just a Bloodborne modern AU honestly) has some interesting ideas on life after death, and Hamish Linklater’s performance is to die for. I’ve watched it twice and loved it both times. Archive 81 for the spooky ancient-god/slow burn dread. Huge fan of The Terror series which I think you know (I love Jared Harris, the best modern-day Cassandra if you take Chernobyl into account, and nice to see Tobias Menzies playing someone way less pathetic than Edmure in Game of Thrones lol). The book is a little more dry but still good, and I just started the series’ second season (Infamy) and love it already.

 Also worth mentioning a French series called Zone blanche (translated as Black Spot of Netflix), a little under the radar, which was great. Very much the subtle “the forest is a dark place beyond human understanding” vibe. I’m actively still going through Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities but enjoying the variety of episodes so far: "The Outsider" (which frankly I just read as a queer/lesbian awakening story) and "Pickman’s Model" in particular (cannot avoid Lovecraft lmao, I’m so sorry). 

I don’t know if I can add the absolute incontrovertible masterwork that is Dark here, though it has some very, very itty bitty inconsequential minor horror elements. But I will watch it again and again until I die. 

In addition, some looser, genre-defying or multi-genre “horror” works like Get Out, Attack the Block, and the Southern Reach Trilogy (book only, the movie just couldn’t capture the peak high concept eldritch horror).  I would add the recent film The Wonder to that which has very subtle religious horror elements but is not supernatural whatsoever. I adored it. 

For books, any goddamn thing by Joyce Carol Oates but especially "Poe Posthumous; or, the Light-House" as I’ve made abundantly clear already; also I’m currently going through this excellent treasure trove of short horror stories collected in this post here (there is a second list somewhere too, if I recall, and they are even sorted by sub-category!) 

At the top of my must-watch list is Lamb right now, and eventually The Ritual and Midsommar, as well as The Lighthouse for obvious reasons. Any other recs are always welcome! I took two classes in CEGEP on Gothic lit and horror films and learned, fundamentally, that the horror genre is an incredibly useful and dynamic way to chart humanity’s anxieties over the past two centuries or so. (Dr Kris Woofter if you are still out there, you absolute hero, those were the greatest classes of my then-short academic life and I carry them with me always; or tucked neatly under my floorboards, where they writhe and groan ominously.)

------------------------------------

March

You could hear them before you saw them.

As you look up from your table, you see five men round the corner. One with gray hair, his laugh echoing off the walls it’s so loud, poking fun at another with shockingly blue hair who looks like he’d love nothing more than to shove the other to the ground.

The two tallest are clinging to each other, one softly giggling to himself while the other’s barking laugh sounds so peculiar it makes you smile.

Finally, the last is silent but looking at his friends with a small warm smile. He rolls his eyes as he connects with your gaze, a silent apology for his friends’ ridiculousness.

“May I help you, gentlemen?” you ask, folding your hands in front of you on the table.

There’s a prolonged silence as they all look at each other, waiting for another to speak. In a flurry of movement, the blue haired one shoves the gray haired boy towards you, muttering “You’re the one that wanted to come here, say something!”

He stumbles forward, hand grasping the chair across from you. His laugh squeaks out again, and as he comes closer, you can smell alcohol rolling off his body, mingling with sweat. It’s unseasonably hot for this time of year.

“What’s your name?” you smile.

“Beomgyu,” he grins widely at you. “What’s yours, beautiful?”

The quiet giggler from before looks shocked by his friend’s response, but you’ve become used to patrons coming in after a late night of drinking, and you’ve been called way worse than beautiful.

“Raven. Take a seat, Beomgyu. If you’re the one who brought your friends here, then you get to be first to have your fortune told.” 

He slides into the seat in front of you, eyes sparkling with interest.

“I’ll answer one question…what would you like to know?”

Beomgyu thinks for a bit, chewing his bottom lip. 

“Come on, dude…hurry up!” the blue haired boy exclaims with exasperation. “At this rate, she’ll only be able to answer you and no one else!”

“Shut up, Yeonjun, you don’t tell me what to do!” Beomgyu waves his hand dismissively at the other. “Okay, I think I know what I want to ask…when will I meet my soulmate?”

Yeonjun groans and makes a gagging sound as you pull a crystal ball out from under the table and place it between you and Beomgyu. 

“Excellent question…I won’t be able to give an exact date or anything like that, but I should be able to hone in on the general time period.”

You gaze into the ball in front of you for a few moments, scrutinizing the reflection of Beomgyu and the lights in the room. The lights eventually dim, and it feels like a fog is rolling through your brain. Your skin prickles, though not unpleasantly. A vision of Beomgyu dances across your consciousness, another energy surrounding him. He seems pleased, chasing after it as it darts away from him. You can see glimpses of their surroundings…a stage, it feels like lots of attention and pressure. He looks close to his current age, but you get a gut feeling it’s further down the line than it appears.

Suddenly, the room swirls back into focus.

“You’ll meet them in around 5 years. There seems to be a lot of pressure around the relationship, something to do with performing on stage…are you in the entertainment industry?”

Beomgyu goes wide eyed and nods, and you can hear Yeonjun gasp behind him.

“Makes sense…yes, there’s lots of pressure around the relationship because of that, but you’ll be very happy nevertheless. Both of you.”

The boy in front of you grins widely, getting up from the chair and motioning towards Yeonjun to take his place.

—----------------------------------------------------------------

The other boys listen to you raptly as you tell them all about their careers, their love lives, and their families. All except the last one…the one who had seemingly apologized for his friends’ behavior when they had first stumbled in.

You’d noticed him rolling his eyes while you were talking with the others, and now he’s shaking his shock of jet black hair out of his eyes, taking a seat in front of you while a ghost of a smirk pulls at his lips.

“What would you like to know?” you ask politely, not too excited about whatever answer he’s bound to give.

“Tell me whatever,” he states bluntly. “Fortune telling isn’t real…no offense.” You can see the challenge in his eyes, daring you to refute his claim.

The tallest boy, now named Soobin you’ve learned, gasps behind him and smacks him on the shoulder. “Taehyun, that’s rude!”

Taehyun glances back at the older boy then shrugs his shoulders. “It’s true.”

His dark gaze returns to you and he folds his hands in front of him on the table.

“Prove me wrong.”

It’s your turn to have a smirk play across your lips…you enjoy a challenge more than you’ll readily admit.

You pull up your sleeves and place your hands on either side of your crystal ball. After a few moments, smoke starts to swirl inside, only visible to you.

A giggle escapes you suddenly, causing Taehyun to raise his eyebrow.

“What?”

“You simply have no future…I’m sorry.”

Beomgyu immediately lets out a barking laugh, and Yeonjun punches him in the arm to get him to shut up, though you can tell that he’s fighting back his own.

Taehyun’s eyes narrow. “And what’s that supposed to mean?”

“I’m joking, geez.” You roll your eyes and you see Taehyun relax in the chair. “As boring as it is, all I can see is that you’re going to change up your normal coffee order next week.”

“Good luck with that!” Hueningkai, the youngest, calls out. “All he ever gets is a caramel macchiato!”

You lean back in your chair, hands folded in front of you, mirroring Taehyun. “I just call it like I see it.” 

The boy in front of you looks displeased and pushes away from the table. “That’s not even a real fortune, at least everyone else’s was interesting…” he mutters, starting to stand up.

“How about I make it worth your while?” you blurt out before you can think too hard about it.

Taehyun crosses his arms and looks down at you. 

“What do you mean?”

“You said it’s not real, right? So what if I make a bet with you? If what I predicted comes true, you owe me.”

You can see other boys’ eyes shine with interest behind Taehyun.

“Okay…say I do change up my coffee order next week. What then?”

You lean back in your chair, surveying Taehyun from top to bottom.

“You owe me a date.”

There is a collective gasp into the silence, and Taehyun narrows his eyes again, surveying you in turn.

You swallow thickly, starting to think you’ve gone too far as Taehyun turns from you, walking towards the door. The others slide past him outside, and he leans on the doorframe, studying you.

“You know what? You’ve got yourself a deal.”

And with that, he’s gone.

—------------------------------------------

It’s business as usual for the next few days. You go to your regular job (what, did you think fortune telling paid the bills?), run your shop most nights, and everything seems to go as normally as possible.

That is, until Thursday night. It’s pretty quiet since it’s early in the evening, and you’re puttering around, cleaning. Suddenly, the bell over the door rings almost violently with how quickly the door was pushed open.

“I’ll be with you in a min-” you start to say, looking over your shoulder at whoever has entered the shop.

It’s Taehyun, slightly out of breath, arms crossed across his chest.

“...oh,” you breathe, surprised. You’d expected to never see him again, especially with how skeptical he’d been of fortune telling. “Can I…help you?” You doubt he’s here to get a second reading.

“Yeah, you can…I believe I owe you a date?”

The vase in your hands you had picked up to dust slips through your fingers and shatters on the floor.

Immediately Taehyun rushes to your side, gingerly picking up shards of the vase so you don’t step on them.

“Are you okay?” He looks up at you with wide eyes, full of concern.

You shake your head to rid yourself of the shock and look down at him. 

“Fine, I’m fine.” You crouch down to join him, gathering up the last little pieces and taking a handful from him to dump in the garbage.

You turn back to him. “You said you owed me a date?”

“You didn’t forget our little bet that quickly, did you?” He raises an eyebrow incredulously. “Especially since you were the one who came up with the idea…you could’ve just asked me out the normal way, you know.”

“But what fun is that? I love a challenge, especially when it involves a cute boy thinking that I’m lying to them.”

“Ah, so you do think I’m cute,” he smirks.

“Notice how I didn’t bet a date on any of your other friends…yes, you’re cute. Now what coffee order did you get? You know, you could have also just asked me on a date the normal way instead of getting a whole new coffee order. I’m flattered, truly.” 

Taehyun strides towards you, pulling a chair out from the table you normally do readings at and sits down.

“Little do you know, I didn’t get a new coffee order, Miss Know-It-All.”

You pull out your normal chair, sitting down and leaning towards Taehyun, elbows propped and head between your hands.

“I thought being a know-it-all was your job,” you wink at him, though you can feel the heat emanating from your face. You weren’t sure what had come over you, but something about Taehyun just made you want to prove him wrong.

He leans in towards you as well, close enough to make you nervous.

“My job is being a man of my word. I said I would take you on a date if your prediction came true, and it did. Are you free tomorrow night? Say, 7?”

“I can be if you make it worth my while. Normally I’d be working here, making quite a bit of money…you and your friends came in last Friday, if you recall.”

“How about dinner and drinks at Cafe 553?”

You can’t help the gasp that comes out of your mouth. Cafe 553 was one of the most, if not the most, expensive restaurant in town.

Taehyun gets up and reaches forward, gently pushing your mouth closed with a finger placed under your chin.

“I’ll see you at seven, Miss Know-It-All.” His voice is a low whisper against your ear that causes goosebumps to erupt on the back of your neck.

And with a small wave, he’s gone.

—-----------------------------------------------------

You’re smoothing down the edges of your dress as you look in the mirror the next night, though it’s more out of nervousness than anything to do with needing to adjust the clothing.

As you turn to check yourself from all angles, you’re pleased. Your dress is made of crushed velvet in a deep plum, and your heels are a classic black. Your makeup is more on the natural side, save for a berry lip to go with your dress. 

A pinging noise sounds from inside your bag, and you fish out your phone to see a text from Taehyun stating that he’s arrived outside your apartment complex and is waiting. You glance in the mirror one last time, grab your keys, and head downstairs.

Taehyun’s car is unassuming, and he hops out to open your door for you, his eyes drinking in your outfit of choice, though his glance never lingers too long in one place.

“All this, for me?” he grins, raising an eyebrow.

“Well it’s not like I could show up to Cafe 553 in sweatpants,” you retort, though a smile graces your face.

“After you, m’lady.” Taehyun gestures to your seat, which you take. He then slides into his own and begins to drive.

Silence fills the car for a while, though it’s not unpleasant. You can tell Taehyun is focused on the road, yet also on whether you’re comfortable. He’s adjusted the air conditioning in the car for the fourth time when you finally reach out your hand to cover his, removing it from the offending dial.

“I’m fine, stop messing with the A/C.”

Taehyun steals a glance at you, looking slightly embarrassed. “Are you sure you’re fine?” You nod, and he places his hand back on the wheel.

“What I do want to know…is how on earth did the new coffee order come about?”

A smile works its way across his face and he drums his fingers against the steering wheel.

“Funny you should ask…like Kai said, I always order a caramel macchiato. Always. I can’t stand black coffee, it’s too bitter. Anyway, I ordered the usual, and when the barista called my name, I took the order to go. As I was walking back to practice, I took a sip and realized I had a vanilla latte. Therefore, a new coffee order. Not by my own volition, I’ll have you know…that detail’s important.”

A giggle escapes you at his story. “That’s it? A barista mix up? Classic. Well, I guess I was still right, then.”

“Thus why I’m taking you on this date, remember?”

“Aw, that’s all? You don’t even think I’m pretty? The most interesting girl you’ve ever met?”

Taehyun snorts with laughter. “You keep me on my toes, that’s for sure…and no, I don’t think you’re pretty.”

A frown immediately takes over your face, and as you turn in indignation, wheels turning in your head trying to come up with some clever comeback-

“I think you’re beautiful.”

—-------------------------------------------------------

The two of you settle in a booth towards the back of Cafe 553. The seating is snug and cozy, a candle throwing warm lighting across the table.

Taehyun sends a soft smile your way as you make eye contact over your menus, and you can’t help returning one in kind.

“Can I get you started with something to drink?”

A waiter has made his way to the table, and Taehyun points at a red wine halfway down the page, ordering the bottle for the two of you.

After the waiter returns with the wine and takes your order (gnocchi al pomodoro for you, spaghetti alle vongole for him), you start chatting about your lives. Taehyun tells you all about how he works as a private tutor for a few wealthy families in town, in addition to performing shows with the other guys. 

You in turn share about how you work in a bakery during the day, and do fortune telling in the evenings, which leaves you little time for a social life.

“You’re lucky I agreed to this date, is what I’m really trying to say.” 

“What, you don’t think I’m handsome? The most interesting guy you’ve ever met?” Taehyun smirks at you, candlelight casting strange shadows across his face and glinting off his wine glass.

As you open your mouth to respond to his sarcasm, the edges of your vision go black and you feel the fog of a vision rolling through your brain.

Several moments later, you notice Taehyun staring at you, wide eyes full of concern.

“What happened?”

He shakes his head, trying to clear the shock off his face. “What happened? I made a joke and then your face went blank and then you started saying something about my love life.”

“Anything good? Or are you doomed to die alone?”

Taehyun looks at you incredulously. “No, actually. Your voice was super monotone and you said something along the lines of, ‘You’ll find the one your heart desires, but they will not be as they seem.’ Do you not remember any of that?”

You shake your head. “Guess I’m not the one your heart desires, huh?” you add in an attempt to lighten the mood.

Taehyun’s brow scrunches in confusion, trying to parse out whether you’re upset or not. “I wouldn’t say that just yet-I told you I thought fortune telling wasn’t real. Though now I’m starting to doubt that…”

“I would never lie to you.”

His face smoothes out at this, a smile reappearing. “So how would you feel about a second date?”

“What about the fortune?”

“I’m not done figuring you out yet, Miss Know-It-All.”

—---------------------------------------------------

You stare at your ceiling before bed that night, pondering over what had happened at Cafe 553. You’d never blacked out telling someone’s fortune before, and you wonder why Taehyun was the first. You’d told his fortune the week before, so what was so different about tonight? Thinking about it starts to give you a headache, so you turn on your side, pull up your blankets and take comfort in the fact that even after everything that had happened, Taehyun wanted to see you again.

April

You’re on your way to a local bookstore when you suddenly turn to Taehyun.

“Did you lose something important?”

He seems confused. “No…? Why do you ask?”

“It’s just when I was working the opening shift at the bakery today, I had this vision that you lost something, I just couldn’t see what.”

The two of you walk in silence for a few moments, then Taehyun turns to you.

“I mean, I did lose my library book about carnivorous plants, but I don’t think that’s necessarily that important…”

“Education is a cornerstone of society, Taehyun, you know that! Honestly, working with kids I would hope you realize that-wait a minute…carnivorous plants?” You raise an eyebrow.

“What? I was thinking about getting a Venus flytrap…don’t judge me!”

May

“Cheers!” You clink your ice cream cone gently against Taehyun’s to celebrate the end of the school year, then quickly move to lick the drops that are starting to edge their way down the side of your cone.

“I predict this summer’s gonna be a hot one.”

“You trying to steal my job?” you laugh. 

“Please, if I was a fortune teller, I’d run you out of town.”

“No you wouldn’t, you’d miss me too much,” you smirk.

Taehyun grabs you by the hand and pulls you against his chest, making sure to avoid ice cream falling.

“You’re right, I would,” he grins and drops a quick kiss to your lips. “I’ve been meaning to ask you this for a while now…be my girlfriend? Officially?”

“What is this, high school?” you snort.

“Well I do work with kids, and my bandmates have the maturity of 16 year olds, so that tracks, honestly. What do you say?”

You lift up on your tiptoes to land another kiss on his lips.

“I say…yes.”

June

You’re under an umbrella, hair fanned out across Taehyun’s lap as you look out at the waves crashing onto the shore. You’d both taken a day trip out to the beach as a break-you from work, him from practice and his bandmates.

“Is it really all that bad? You’re playing a festival at the end of summer, that’s exciting!”

He smiles down at you and gently moves a strand of hair off your face.

“No, it’s not that bad. I love the guys, they’re my best friends. I just needed to get away for a little bit, have a change of scenery. It’s hard work being the lead vocalist, you know.” Taehyun winks cheekily, and you swat his leg.

“I didn’t know I was dating a rock star.”

He leans towards you, landing a quick peck on your lips. “Well, now you do.”

You roll your eyes as you sit up, though you can’t help laughing as well. You reach a hand out towards him. “Come on, let’s go swim! We didn’t come to the beach to just stare at it.”

He raises an eyebrow. “You may not have, but I am quite content to sit here and people watch. And wave watch.”

A pout works its way onto your lips, and you send your best puppy-dog eyes your boyfriend’s way.

“C’mon, Tyunnie…who’s going to save me if a shark comes?”

He’s unimpressed. “A lifeguard, that’s who.”

“Please?” you whine as Taehyun gets up off the blanket, dusting sand off his swim trunks.

“Nice try.”

“...fine,” you pout, turning towards the water and starting to walk towards the shoreline.

You’ve gone about ten steps when you suddenly feel a hand wrap around your shoulders and then your feet have left the ground.

Taehyun has swept you up bridal style into his arms and is running towards the water.

“What are you doing?!” you shriek, clinging onto his shoulders for dear life.

“You said you wanted to go swimming, I’m just helping you out!” he pants breathlessly, laughing. His smile lights up his whole face.

“Taehyun, stop-”

But it’s too late. As he runs into deeper waters, he unceremoniously drops you into the ocean. Two minutes later, you’ve dragged him under with you.

You wouldn’t have it any other way.

July

You’re tucked into Taehyun’s side, his arm wrapped around you and your head on his shoulder. It’s the middle of summer and you’re both sweating profusely in the heat, even in his apartment, but you can’t help feeling like things are perfect. You let out a contented sigh, and Taehyun squeezes your shoulder.

“How was your day, love?”

You can’t help the light pink that dusts your cheeks at the term of endearment-though you’d been dating for a few months now, you still weren’t used to him being so soft towards you.

“It was fine…better now, though.” You smile up at Taehyun, but he draws back from you, concern lacing his features.

“Better now? Did something happen?”

“I just had another weird vision. I was at work and I saw us in this dimly lit room with weird lighting. I couldn’t figure out what was going on, and I went up to you to say something, but next thing I knew, my coworker was telling me that I had started talking in monotone, like I did at Cafe 553, and I couldn’t remember anything I said.”

Taehyun’s eyes go wide and he pulls you into his side again, rubbing soothing circles on your arm.

“Did your coworker say anything about what you said?”

“Apparently it was mostly incoherent mumbling, but I kept saying your name over and over again…”

The two of you sit in silence for a while. You’re starting to regret bringing up anything at all when Taehyun suddenly extracts himself from you and strides over to his bookshelf, clearly looking for something specific.

“What are you-” you start, but he cuts you off.

“Here it is! I knew I had read something about this-when visions start to become blurry, it is usually due to a blockage to the user’s magic. Maybe that’s what happened to you!” He turns around, book open and eyes sparkling.

“Taehyun, what even is that? Do you…have a book about fortune telling?”

He closes the book and holds it to his side, scratching the back of his head and looking bashful.

“Once we started dating, I got some books about it because I wanted to understand it more…I wanted to understand you more. I felt a little out of my depth, y’know?”

You walk over to him, wrapping your arms around his neck and meeting his wide-eyed gaze.

“You’re cute, you know that?”

“You’re not weirded out?” Taehyun looks shocked at your reaction, and you lean upwards to give him a quick kiss.

“Never.”

August

“Our last song is a newer one…are you ready?!”

The crowd roars to life around you. You’re out at the local park for Summer Sendoff, a big outdoor festival that Taehyun and his bandmates had been invited to be a part of. You’d surprisingly never seen them play live, just heard snippets of whatever song happened to be stuck in Taehyun’s head at any given time.

“I know Yeonjun writes a lot of our music, but I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that I wrote this one…it’s very special to me, because it’s about someone who’s very special to me. I love you, Rae.” 

Your mouth drops open as the crowd starts murmuring, wondering who this mysterious girl is. You’re in shock-this is the first time Taehyun has said he loves you, and you’re not quite sure what to do with yourself. You’re glad he used your fortune telling name so everyone wouldn’t be able to figure out who you were, but you also feel like your heart might burst open with how much emotion you’re feeling.

The song that Taehyun wrote is beautiful, and you can tell he’s put so much effort into it. His voice soars with emotion, and when Beomgyu joins him to harmonize, you realize you have tears running down your cheeks. 

The song comes to an end all too quickly, and you shove your way through the crowd to make your way backstage. There is security and staff everywhere, but you catch a glimpse of Taehyun’s head through the masses and sprint towards him. 

A giant smile breaks across his face as he catches you and spins you around before setting you back down on your feet.

“What did you think?”

He looks expectantly at you.

“I love you too, Taehyun.”

September

The smell of freshly baked bread and cookies wafts around you as you shuffle around, making sure that the display cases at the bakery are ready to go. Heading into fall, everything is pumpkin and apple flavored and it makes you smile. 

The bell tinkles over the door into the shop and you turn to tell whoever it is that the bakery doesn’t open for another 15 minutes, and you are surprised to see your boyfriend in the doorway. He’s slightly out of breath, and he has a tote bag in his hands.

“Taehyun? What are you doing here?”

He sweeps his bangs out of his eyes and smiles at you, even while coughing trying to catch his breath. He holds out the tote towards you, shaking it so you take it. You open it, looking inside.

“You forgot your lunch…you have a double shift today, right?”

“Yeah I do, but I could’ve just gone out for lunch, silly! I appreciate it though.”

He gives you a small smile, suddenly seeming nervous.

“What? Is there something else?” You lift up the containers with the lunch Taehyun had prepared for you and feel fabric underneath.

“I packed an outfit for you to change into after work.”

You look up at Taehyun again, confused.

“I wanted to take you on a surprise date after work!” he exclaims. “...only if you want,” he adds shyly.

“Of course it is! I would love that,” you beam happily at him, and he matches your smile.

“Okay good. Just wear that outfit and the rest will be a surprise. I figured we could celebrate our 6 month anniversary a week early.”

You nod eagerly, then start to shoo him out of the bakery.

“We’re about to open, you need to go before my boss sees you! I love you, I’ll see you later.”

Taehyun rushes forward to drop a kiss on your lips and turns to leave, but you reach out and suddenly stop him.

“Did you need something else?”

You shake your head, simply handing him a small paper bag.

He raises his eyebrow in question.

“A pumpkin spice muffin for the road…a muffin for my muffin,” you giggle.

Taehyun rolls his eyes, but you can see the tips of his ears go pink.

“See you later…cupcake.”

October

“I dunno, Taehyun. I feel so…exposed.”

You feel his warm hands wrap around your midriff from the back, landing on your hips. You’ve dressed up for a Halloween party that Yeonjun is throwing, and the crop top and skirt you’re wearing is vastly different than how you’re used to dressing. You’re not the thinnest person in the world, and the skirt is a little shorter than you’d like.

“You look hot,” he murmurs into your neck, squeezing your hips lightly and landing a kiss where his breath had just fanned out. Goosebumps erupt over your skin, and he lets out a small laugh. 

You make eye contact through the mirror in front of you, but the intensity of Taehyun’s stare makes you look away. Even with his ridiculous costume, he still gives you butterflies.

“Hey…you do look amazing, I’m not just saying that. I’d be willing to show you later how hot I think you are too, if you want.” One of his hands starts to trail upwards towards your chest while the other works its way towards your backside. Before he can go any further, you elbow him in the stomach.

“Hey, what was that for? Can’t a mad scientist show appreciation for his creation?”

You can’t help giggling as you turn and fully take in his costume. He’s got goggles pushed up on his forehead, hair tousled wildly with a stained lab coat on and makeup creating dark circles under his eyes.

“This rag doll creation appreciates her creator ever so much, but we’ll be late if we don’t leave in the next five minutes…I’ll indulge you in a science lesson later.”

Taehyun pouts at you, but grabs your hand and leads you to the door.

“As long as the lesson’s in anatomy,” he winks. 

—-----------------------------------------

The party is massive-pounding music you can feel in your bones, strobe lighting, and lots of booze.

You and Taehyun had done the rounds, finding all your friends and his bandmates, complimenting everyone’s costumes and makeup.

After a couple of hours, Taehyun pulls you to a quieter corner of the party.

“Finally I can hear myself think!” he exclaims, sighing and sliding down the wall to sit.

“Yeah, I was starting to get a headache,” you agree, joining him and placing your head on his shoulder.

You sit there in comfortable silence for a while, listening to the muffled bass and noise of the crowd.

Suddenly, Taehyun lets out a low chuckle.

“What’s funny?”

“I just realized something…something that’s been bugging me for a while now.”

You hum in reply, encouraging him to go on.

“You remember that vision you had on our first date? Where you told me that I would find the one my heart desires, but they wouldn’t be as they seemed?”

You think back to March…it seems so long ago, but also like it was just yesterday.

“Well I don’t exactly remember it, but yeah, what about it?”

“I just realized…it’s been you this whole time.”

You jerk your head off his shoulder to look at him. “What?”

“Yeah…I fell for you pretty quickly.” His cheeks are dusted pink at this admission. “I brushed off your vision because I liked you so much. But I just now realized the vision was about you. You were definitely not what I expected…but now? It’s Halloween. You’re ‘not who you seem’, but it’s on purpose!” He looks at you triumphantly.

As he was talking, you had been running through the past few months in your head as well. “All those visions I had where I couldn’t remember anything about them…it’s because they all were about myself. No wonder I couldn’t remember, it’s textbook fortune teller stuff! They say you can’t ever see your own future, at least not clearly.”

Taehyun looks confused. “Who’s ‘they’?” he asks.

“Oh, my mom also can see visions. And my grandmother too.” Taehyun’s eyes go wide at this and you laugh. “Don’t worry about it, I can explain more later. I’m just really happy.”

“Because you finally know what was going on?”

“I mean, yes…but also because it’s you. At first, I didn’t think much of the vision since we had only been on one date, but as time went on, I fell in love with you. I didn’t want you to find someone else, especially not someone who ‘wasn’t as they seemed’...that just sounded sketchy at best and toxic at worst.”

“Aw, Rae…were you jealous?”

“Maybe a little bit. I wanted you to myself, thanks very much.”

Taehyun smirks at this.

“So what about that anatomy lesson? Do you see that in your future?”

You lean forward, lips hovering over his.

“Maybe it’ll happen, maybe it won’t…I can’t see my own future, remember? A shame, I really do have a thing for mad scientists.”

And with that, your lips connect with his, a searing heat flowing through your body at the contact.

You may not be able to see your own future, but somehow, some way, you know he has a place in it.

I like how in the Battle City arc, Kaiba shows up right after Joey says he can beat anyone. He stays for exactly 2 minutes just to intimidate Joey and then leaves to go get the Egyptian God Cards. King shit. Only there for the drama. Only there to call Joey a dog and fulfill their mutual pet play kink and then scram. You love to see it.

Tea shouldn't have played Duel Monsters at all, she should have just had an AR in her purse and whenever someone pissed her off she just takes it out and kills them. Pegasus? Deadasus. Those goons that kept chasing Kaiba in the early episodes? Dead. Her landlord? Dead. Censor that, 4kids.

Before I start fuckin crying

The European Parliament has recognized the Armenian genocide.

A big step for the 1.5 million Armenians who lost their lives to Turkey, and who continue to be ridiculed by Erdogan.

I love the sort of Justice League dynamic where Batman is a complete cryptid who only shows up sometimes and the only person who can act normally around him is Clark. In this au verse Batman is like one of those drawings where he's just a black shape with eyes so none of the JL can see that he's actually human, and all of them are absolutely flabbergasted at how normal Clark can act around Bats. Like he's normally quiet and keeps to himself, only occasionally chatting with Clark, so the JL don't really know what to expect when he addresses them all.

Example:

Batman: I need to leave early today

Green Lantern: What? Why?

Batman, dark and brooding, gravelly voice dead pan: I have a little league game to attend.

Superman: oh! Tell Robin i wish him luck!

Batman: hn.

The rest of the JL: ?????????? Robin is Batman's kid??

Example 2 (inspired by @/batshit-birds)

Batman: This is Red Hood. He is my little boy.

The JL: *looking at the tall, buff, grown ass man with guns on his hips and who sounds like the opposite of inhaling helium and who is wearing what is functionally a muzzle with a hood that looks like it used to be a different color before something dark red got all over it*

Red Hood: hi

Clark: Good to see you again Hood! How're the others?

And the only reason Clark can be so normal around them is because he and Batman work together often because Metropolis and Gotham are so close by, and Clark has had to babysit unruly Robins when Batman needed a day off. He's seen all their spoopy tricks and knows that under the cowl and mask there is just a normal man who's really good at freaking people out.

Sleepwalking Love | Baekhyun

Summary: It was supposed to be a chill night, but when your best friend starts sleepwalking around your dormitory, it transforms into a night of surprises.

Feat. whiny friend Chanyeol

Genre: college!AU, fluffy ice cream fluff, spoopy

Word count: 2.1k

A/N: Very important props to @hkynm for sending me that creepy sleepwalking reddit story because otherwise I wouldn’t even know I needed a sleepwalking Baekhyun in my life lmaooo

“You are not for real right now, are you?”

You said out loud to yourself, glaring at your squealing phone which was laying on the night table next to your bed.

On the screen very rapidly, like CRAZY, new notifications were coming in, letting you know about a new text message, or more like thousand impertinent new text messages which were making your phone vibrate so much that you thought it would fall off of the table if it continued like this.

You were more than just disturbed at the moment, because not only was it interrupting your awaited face sheet mask relaxation ritual, but it was also interrupting your music which was filling your room, playing from the bluetooth box connected to your always more notification invaded phone.

You even considered simply switching your phone off so you won’t have to deal with all this, but then again after a long day you really needed your beloved group to calm down your nerves, what always worked for you.

But tonight you could forget it.

You muttered some swear words, smoothing the soft lemon sheet mask on your skin with your fingers and glanced over to your phone.

You expected all those messages to be from your squad’s group chat, but instead you saw just Chanyeol’s name, even when you scrolled all the way down you noticed that literally everything that came was from Chanyeol.

Was it for real right now?

Just when you decided to give in and read whatever it was that he decided to bother you with, your phone instantaneously showed you an incoming call.

Giantyeol is calling...

Alright, what the freak could it be now?

You pressed the green symbol and held it next to your ear. “The freak you want” You asked your friend.

“Y/N, oh my phukin’ god.” Chanyeol’s voice was just a little above a whisper, somewhat muffled. “Why aren’t you replying??? I need you to help me.” He said the last sentence with a quiet sob.

That was weird. “What? Why? Where are you?” You asked, already imagining some very questionable situation.

“I’m in my room. I’m literally gasping for air, I cloaked myself around with my covers and my blanket, I’m so scared.”

“You were reading creepy stories on reddit again, were you” You asked him in a dull voice. “You little baby. Why are you even calling ME, Baekhyun is literally your roommate, go and whine to Baek.” You concluded.

Another shaking sob reached your ear from the phone. “Yes, okay, I was out there on reddit but this isn’t the problem. And I can’t whine to Baek because HE is the problem!” Chanyeol sounded as if he was about to start crying now.

“The freak you are saying, Yeol”

“Y/N, oh my god, please you must come and save me. This is sick. I think Baekhyun is sleepwalking, first he started talking while being asleep and now he SAT ON THE BED and has been like this for about ten minutes, this is creeping me out” He whined.

Baekhyun was your best friend, you knew that he really had a tendency to sleepwalk and sleeptalk, but it usually happened only when he was in a lot of nerves during the day or was bottling up whatever sort of feelings.

However, it hasn’t been happening for a long time so you weren’t expecting him to freak out Chanyeol out of nowhere, knowing that your mutual whiny friend has never experienced Baekhyun in a sleepwalking state before like you already did multiple times.

“Chanyeol, be a phukin’ man.” You said. “Just gently lay him down, GENTLY, without waking him up and it should be fine.”

But before he could answer you, shuffling footsteps made themselves audible through the phone, followed by a louder sob from apparently seriously mortified Chanyeol.

“Y/N, he is sleepwalking and he is SCARING me” He sobbed through the phone. “Oh my god.” You heard sounds of soft bed covers being moved. “HE IS WALKING AROUND THE ROOM. He is going to the freaking door.”

“Chanyeol, do what I just said and stop crying. This is just our Baekhyun, not a monster.” You said.

“But, Y/N” He started again. “What if he has been possessed by an evil ghost impostor and now he is going out there to mess stuff up”

“Park freaking Chanyeol, no one has been possessed and YOU are banned from reading reddit ever again as long as I live. You need to calm down” You knew that he wasn’t going to calm down nonetheless, but it couldn’t hurt trying. “And why are you calling ME?”

“Because” He sobbed. “He’s been calling out your name. As in, he’s been saying things like take me to Y/N and I need Y/N in a sort of whining tone and it’s scary.” He stopped. “Oh my god. He started talking AGAIN, please, Y/N, I will die. Listen”

You held your phone closer to your ear, listening.

And really, you were able to hear Baekhyun’s muttering voice, saying “Y/N. I need to say it. They are holding me back. Why is this locked? Why is this locked?”

Oh god.

“What is this clownery, Chanyeol” You said. “Guide him back to his bed, now.”

But then, you heard it.

Thump, thump, thump.

Thump.

Thump, thump, thump.

“Chanyeol” You said. “What is happening?”

Now the sobs were always more alerting. “Oh my god, he is banging his head on the door to our room, this is so freaky, oh my god” Between Chanyeol’s sobs, there was suddenly an eerie sound of a door being pushed open. “HE IS LEAVING THE ROOM THROUGH THE DOOR.”

“Is he supposed to leave the room through the wall or what??? You FREAKING whining mess, move your GIANT seat and stop him!” You almost screamed through the phone, the whole situation slowly unnerving you.

“He escaped.” Came a sobbing answer.

“You kid” You started again, but Chanyeol interrupted you.

“I won’t touch him, I’m scared to touch him when he’s in a state like this, please, Y/N, help” He whined.

“Okay, I’m coming.” You replied. “But I swear, in this state he could unintentionally hurt himself, and mark my words, if he hurts himself I will hurt YOU” You said whilst taking off your already starting to dry sheet mask. “Wear your stupid Batman socks and follow him!”

“Okay, alright, I’m leaving my station right NOW.”

“And stop talking as if we’re in some stupid action film!” You said. “Stay on the phone for now and tell me where he’s going.”

“Alright” Chanyeol whispered. “He is walking through the corridor, I’m following him, OH PHUK”

“WHAT IS IT NOW”

“He stopped and PHUKIN’ TURNED AROUND AND HE IS FACING ME” Chanyeol basically cried in terror. “Oh my phukin’ god, he is talking again.”

Since it was at night and it was completely quiet, you managed to hear Baekhyun’s delicate, muttered voice through the phone again. “This is my Y/N. I won’t stop. I will spray cheese in your hair if you stop me.”

It was really starting to unnerve even you right now, even though you were very familiar with Baekhyun’s sleepwalking performances like that.

“Yeol, what is happening now”

“He started to walk through the corridor again, oh my freaking god, that was so scary.” He replied. “I think he is going to the laundry room.” He added, a little calmer.

“Okay, you continue following him and I will run to the fourth floor, if he changes the direction, text me immediately.” You quickly said, finishing the call when you made sure your mortified friend understood what you ordered him to do.

You sped up leaving the corridor which led to the female part of the dormitory and ran to the elevator.

It came quickly, and as soon as the door to the fourth floor opened letting you out, you were met with a flushed face of Chanyeol.

“Don’t tell me you lost him.” You said, ready to start your monologue about how much of a whining mess he was if he indeed lost your sleepwalking Baekhyun in the corridors.

“No, but he is being so scary, I swear” Chanyeol pointed to the closed door which led to the laundry room at the end of the corridor. “He is doing it again, what was I supposed to do”

You looked over to the direction where he pointed.

Baekhyun was by the door, thumping his forehead on them over and over, apparently the same thing he did when he started to sleepwalk back in his and Chanyeol’s room before he went out.

It looked as if he was trying to open it, but in this sleepwalking state he obviously couldn’t figure out how to open a door with a sphere-like doorknob.

Without saying anything else, you ran up to him and quickly put your hand between the door and his forehead, stopping him from possibly hurting himself even more.

He didn’t seem to stop swinging though, so you very gently circled his waist with your free arm, securing him so he wouldn’t fall, and carefully took him away from the door.

“Yo, Giantyeol, you are needed.” You quietly called out to Chanyeol, careful not to wake Baekhyun. “We must take him back to your room, but we are taking the elevator, so you press the buttons.”

As you took two more steps, you felt Baekhyun in your embrace slowly leaning in, his asleep body somewhat going limp, a sign that this sleepwalking performance should finish soon, letting him sleep normally.

But before you could call Chanyeol over to help you hold him, his head managed to already very slowly start to fall to rest on your shoulder, in result his soft lips sloppily brushing your dewy cheek, now his entire face snuggled to the crook of your neck with his nose tickling you.

Oh god.

You went red before you could stop it, finally calling Chanyeol. “Yeol, help me move him to the seats.” You pointed to the chairs which, thankfully, were standing just a few metres away.

As you moved over and sat down still holding your asleep best friend, you were left a little surprised when you felt Baekhyun’s arms circling firmly around your waist and snuggling even closer to you, his breathing evening, as if he was calming down.

“Y/N.” Baekhyun started sleeptalking again. “Y/N.”

You gently brushed your fingers through his hair, contemplating whether to really carry him back to his bed or try to delicately wake him up.

Just when you thought screw it, and were about to gently shake him awake, the next sentence which left his lips made you freeze in place.

“Y/N. I love you.” Baekhyun sighed underneath your ear.

What?

You noticed Chanyeol covering his mouth, looking at you.

“He is seriously stating his love to you when he is asleep. I can’t deal with this.” Chanyeol started sobbing again, wiping his eyes.

Before the whole situation could overwhelm you more, you decided to finally wake Baekhyun.

You started to gently nudge him, waiting for him to open his eyes. As you continued to do so, he finally lazily opened his eyes, and within a minute he was sitting next to you fully awake.

“What?” Was the first thing that he said. “What are we doing here? What time is it?” He started to look around a little confused, realizing that it wasn’t his room.

“You sleepwalked all the way here from your room, occasionally scaring Chanyeol to death.” You replied.

“I did?”

“Yes!” Chanyeol stood up. “Dude, you are FREAKING SCARY. I thought you were possessed!” He ran his fingers through his hair. “And you were saying some extremely creepy stuff. AND calling Y/N all the time. AND, you just said that you love her right before you woke up-”

“Chanyeol!” You said, trying to mentally tell him that it really wasn’t a good idea to spill everything just now.

“WHAT?” Baekhyun looked as if his whole life just flashed before his eyes. “No, no, no” He covered his face with his hands. “I screwed up everything.” He muttered.

“Baekhyun” You said, gently pulling his hands away.

“Okay, there’s no use in denying it now, is there?” He started, looking at you. “You know that what I say while being asleep is usually what I want to say awake, right? I planned to finally tell you tomorrow. But I was scared to say it, so I couldn’t sleep normally and that’s obviously the reason why I started sleepwalking again because I didn’t know what to do tomorrow when I see you, and-” He was spilling out everything, leaving you totally flabbergasted.

There was just one thing left for you to do.

You pulled him in interrupting him, resting your chin on his shoulder and snuggling to his neck the same way he did with you when he was still asleep.

“I love you too, my creepy sleepwalker.”

Scrappy-Doo Daily Dose #2

Dose #1 (Jan 27th to Feb 3rd-sorry for dropping the ball, guys! )

1. untitled, by cirilee

Scrappy is full of life in this picture. Reluctant Werewolf has a special place in my heart as one of the first Scooby media I was EVER acquainted with. I didn’t need to recognize Googie or fully understand grown up relationships to know that she is a good person who genuinely adores Shaggy and who Shaggy loves right back. They’re not a perfect lovey-dovey couple, they bicker...but it’s not an unhealthy kind. I mean, if nothing else Reluctant Werewolf had a really healthy, interesting BF GF relationship I believe between Shaggy and Googie.  This is just SO Scrappy. I love the energy. Shaggy really didn’t like being a werewolf so losing himself in something he’s passionate about is awesome. Great work!

2. Scrappy Doo, by Zigwolf

Can I just say how much I adore “AU” looks for Scrappy? The fur shade, the fangs...it’s all not quite the Scrappy I know...it’s a new Scrappy.  A new style. The little round collar just accentuates that :3.

3. Scrappy doo!! by Wolftales158Art

I love the lights in Scrappy’s eyes. Really adds soul to an already spunky character. Scrappy’s got a ton of spunk, and it comes from a big heart. Spunky big hearted boy. Thank you, Wolftales.  The ink statements are a nice touch too!

4. Ghost of Christmas Never, by davenportwilldraw

The amount of care put into this is just jaw dropping. The shiny presents. the ‘N M’ as oppose to ‘W N’. :D 

Scrappy’s smile, the blush on Fred’s cheeks...LOVE! (This is based on ‘Nutcrakcer Scoob’ if anyone wants to know)

5. untitled, by psycho1960

Sorry guys, but this one you’ll have to link for (it’s on tumblr, don’t worry, it’s not a spoopy link or nothing ^^’) psycho said that he/she/they would rather I just reblogged their art. Which is fine! It’s good art and Daily Dose needs seven arts.)

So for those of you who don’t wanna click, it’s another “AU” pic of Scrappy. This version of the boy is on all fours, but just LOOK at that expression...it’s a big grin, and does he look PUMPED FOR A MYSTERY! The sunshine shining around him is just great. Thanks psycho!

6. Time Heals, By The Grim Writer

“Set after Scooby Doo Meets The Boo Brothers) Shaggy lies awake one night, contemplating everything normal and paranormal that has happened in his young life. Memories begin to haunt the beatnik, memories ranging from simpler days of driving around the country in a brightly painted van solving mysteries, to more recent days spent catching ghosts with the love of his life..."

This is a Shaggy-centric fic, but Scrappy is a key supporting character along with Scooby. I love his subplot and the slice of life shenanigans of the most energetic boy on this side of...well, I dunno. He’s really energetic! Except stargazing. Loved the description of him staying up to stargaze and then falling asleep :D.

7. Propinquity, by Crystal Rose of Pollux

Summary: [Original 13 Ghosts 'verse, collection of oneshots] Two meddling reporters/sleuths and two talking dogs crossed paths with a child grifter and an immortal warlock one cold day in Tibet, and their lives were never again the same. This is a series of slice-of-life oneshots about this little patchwork family of monster-catchers, some episode-based and some independent.

In this Vignette: [Based on episodes 3 & 4] What's left for a bunch of meddling kids and dogs to do once they find out that their mentor is, in fact, the most powerful warlock in the world? ...And what's left for the warlock to do, too?

This is a fanmade interquels/Sequels to 13 Ghosts. It acknowledges Scrappy, so that’s a plus on Curse of the Thirteenth Ghost!

Buy me a Kofi?

The light of the sun had been blocked out by the heavy clouds above, and the wind that whipped through the valley brought with it flakes of fresh snow. One could have easily mistaken it for a bitter winter’s day and not the soft snows of early spring. The higher he climbed up the mountain the harsher the weather became, and Papyrus found it most fortunate that his travels were almost concluded.

Before him stood the cave’s entrance, a small gap in the rigid wall of stone that could be easily missed by the unprepared. He knew that the cave had been purposefully selected due to its rather remote location. While it worked to keep most amateurs at bay, it did little to deter the more powerful monsters. Papyrus knew for a fact that the poor weather conditions were of the least of his concern.

He leant back into his saddle, gently pulling back on the horse’s reigns. The mountain pony dutifully came to a stop, snorting loudly and giving a shake of its head. The mare had thick, lengthy fur that served to keep her well insulated against their icy surrounds, and her stocky build allowed her to easily navigate the treacherous path that ascended the mountainside.

Papyrus lifted his leg over the side of the horse, dismounting in one smooth motion and landing in the snow with a soft thump. He reached into one of the saddle bags, removing a small satchel that he was quick to swing over one shoulder. After ensuring that he had all of the required tools he walked towards the cave, trusting that his temporary companion would remain in place until his mission had been completed.

The skeleton took a moment to regard the cave’s entrance, his eye lights rolling over the ancient symbols that had been carved into the stone. He ran his phalanges across the deep gouges in the rock, feeling the resonation of an old power, far more ancient than Papyrus himself.

It was a relief to finally step inside the cave’s walls, shielding the rest of his body from the bitter wind that bit at his bones even through the thick furs he wore. It was completely pitch black within, the light from outside barely penetrating further than a few feet. Papyrus raised a hand, warmth spreading down his arm and toward the centre of his palm as a small flame flickered into existence.

Papyrus reached out to the small torch that hung from the wall, allowing the flame from his hand to cross onto the torch and ignite it with a bright flash of light. He allowed the fire on his palm to dissipate, instead wrenching the handle from the wall so he could carry it with him. He ignored the rest of the torches, choosing not to light them as to avoid any unwanted attention.

It only took a short while for him to finally reach the first room of the inner cave. While many called it a cave, it was, in fact, a temple that had been built many eons ago with the sole purpose of containment. The walls were built of bluestone, an extremely strong material that would keep the building secure against most magical attacks from the outside.

In the very middle of the room stood a large goblet-like structure and around it the floor was surrounded by large rings that grew thicker the further they were from the room’s centre. Between the rings were further runic markings, each of them spoke of ancient and dangerous magic and Papyrus was quick to remove his notebook from his satchel.

The light of his torch was just enough for him to read each of the markings and it was easy enough for him to quickly scribble them down with his unoccupied hand. He would have plenty of time to translate the words once he finally returned home, but he had to work fast if he had hope of noting down everything in the room.

Once he had finally managed to copy everything, Papyrus slid the notebook back into his bag before reaching for the thin vile he had brought with him. He calmly walked back towards the stone goblet, looking into the dark water within. He was unsure of what liquid lay inside the bowl but he knew better than to mess with anything enchanted by the mages of old.

Removing the cork stopper from the end of the glass, he tipped the contents into the black abyss of water, watching as it swirled around before mixing together. Papyrus could still smell the lingering scent of iron as he once again stowed the now empty glass, trying to ignore the way it burned at his nasal cavity as caused his magic to spark.

He reached out with both hands, feeling his magic begin to gather around his bones, lighting up a bright orange. Papyrus’ eye sockets slid closed as he began to recite the old words, his magic sparking against the surface of the water as causing the once black contents to begin to glow and brilliant crimson.

Papyrus’ magic too changed, taking on the red colouration as he allowed the power to resonate within his soul. The runes across the floor flashed brightly with magic, the room rumbling as it violently shook, one of the walls lowering to reveal a second passageway concealed by darkness. Just as the skeleton finished the spell and allowed his magic to calm he watched as a silver object began to emerge from the depths of the water. He reached out, grasping the item and rolling it about in his hand, getting a feel for the weight and magical output of it.

The dagger glinted brightly under the light of the nearby torch, the symbols that lined the blade’s handle shone a bright red, matching the rest of the ruins in the room. Papyrus grinned broadly, giving the weapon a test swing, feeling how it sliced through the air like an extension of his own arm. He would certainly learn to utilise the blade.

It was only when he looked back up to the door that had revealed itself that Papyrus realised he had allowed himself to get too distracted. The monster was only just able to leap aside as a large section of stone was hurled in his direction. He scowled at the giant beast that stood across the room from him, watching as it dragged its hulking form towards him.

The creature was extremely large, its whole body covered in grey fur that had perhaps once been a brilliant white. It looked almost like a common goat in shape, with huge, curled horns and its typical body shape. Across its face were ominous black markings and its face seemed to be pulled into an unnatural grin. Throwing its head back the monster roared, charging towards Papyrus, its head lowered to crash its skull against him.

Papyrus easily evaded the beast, his magic sparking to life once more as he summoned a row of attacks that he thrust in its direction. One of them made contact before it reacted, swiping at the remaining attacks and shattering them as though they had been made of glass. It lunged forward again, bearing down on the skeleton in the blink of an eye, snapping its jaws at him.

From the ground an array of vine-like tendrils erupted, easily breaking through the stone underfoot as they too reached for Papyrus. He managed to slice the plant matter with a second set of attacks but was not fast enough to stop the animal as it barrelled into him, knocking him from his feet. Papyrus grunted as the beast snarled down at him, its rancid breath making him ill due to their close proximity. Fortunately, the monster had done exactly as the skeleton had anticipated.

The goat monster was about to clamp its teeth down around Papyrus’ skull when its suddenly tensed, its whole body going rigid as a pained breath escaped it. One of its paws reached toward its chest, clutching at where the dagger had imbedded itself into its flesh as warm crimson spoiled its coat.

The nimble skeleton pulled the dagger free, rolling out from under the monster just before it came crashing to the floor with a loud thump. He looked down on the creature, watching as its eyes began to glaze over, no longer seeing, and the body crumbled away into nothing more than a pile of dust.

Papyrus frowned to himself, wiping the blade clean with a cloth from his satchel. It was rather disappointing, he had hoped for a little more of a challenge.

Undertale Halloween Fic Rec List

🎃🎃🎃

Collected here below the cut is a list of Undertale fanfiction with spooky, creepy, and horrifying themes. 

(As always, most are skelebro-centric because of my near shameless bias.)

Genfics

Thirty-Two by Stripesthecoon: Papyrus' injuries during his training with Undyne is starting to show. He decides to confront Undyne about his position as a Guard. Undyne doesn't take it too well. The worst hour of his life soon ensues.

~Shows the descent from Undertale into the Horrortale AU between Papyrus and Undyne. A very gruesome fic!

The Snowdin Sickness by Parasite Nilla (Agraulis_vanillae): What happens when a disease vector enters a previously unexposed population?

~A quietly horrifying story of what a disease can do in an enclosed area like the Underground.

Sugarless Milk Chocolate by starrylitme: “I’m really tired, so... You win, kid. I give up.” And, as awful as it is, those words are liberating. (In which Chara really needs a new method of making friends to murder with. Granted, this method they're going with might just work. Vaguely. Like, they have their moments at least. Circumstances are still pretty terrible, but it's still something.)

~As an anon described it to me, it’s dusttale in the making, Chara attempting to befriend Sans and convince him killing sprees are all the rage. A long fic if you really want to dig into something.

NSFW Fics 

(These fics may contain incest pairings, read the summaries first!)

Part One: Vampires

Oathbound by 0neType: "At that point, Sans had smiled at him, slow and self-assured. He had the look of a monster with all the right cards in hand, ready for anything the world could throw at him. Gaster felt his soul stutter still in his chest."

Gaster is more terrible than he believes he is. Sans, unfortunately, has no idea until it's too late.

~Vampirism and mind control go hand in hand in this delightful sanster fic.

Soul Tap by Askellie: Working with the Royal Scientist is not quite what Sans expects.

~Similar story threads to Oathbound, but diverges with the introduction of Papyrus into the narrative as well. Again, some great vampirism + mind control.

Blood and Bones by AngeliaDark: In the beginning, there was hell. Monsters had been sentenced to life underground, and one such survivor did what he had to in order to survive starvation. Flash forward a couple centuries, and Dr. Wingdings Gaster finds someone--or rather, a pair of someones--that he feels should join him in his eternity of darkness and desire.

~Angelia’s story has some great fontfest moments, but also takes the time to delve into the lore of vampires as well.

Serving by Yours Truly :P : Papyrus is commissioned by the reclusive royal scientist for a portrait painting, but has bitten off far more than he can chew.

~Had to plug my own vampire story as well while I’m at it. A fontfest tale with vamp!Gaster.

Part Two: Yandere Papyrus

Regretti by skeletonfricker: When you’re the brother of a guy like Papyrus, you have to expect to put up with a lot of crap. And 99% of the time, Sans was more than willing to do just that. This was the 1%.

“Papyrus,” Sans said in a dangerously low voice, “untie me right now.”

“I will!” He turned away, spooning spaghetti onto a plate. “I will. Just as soon as you’ve eaten my spaghetti.”

Caveatelli by Sora_Tayuya: Sans doesn't listen to warnings and pays the price.

Spiralini(ng out of control) by Lovova: It was so, so stupid. He was going to die in this room. His brother didn't know how to keep him alive. And if LOVE was now apart of their little, heh, 'physical arrangement', then his brother was going to kill him.Oh god his brother was going to kill him. Sans laughed.

~A trilogy of tales about Yandere!Papyrus obsessing over his brother. 

Part Three: Everything Else

Don’t Mind My Messy Parlour by Raavi: In which Muffet wants Stretch's help with something. [Underswap]

~Contains noncon creepy spider birth! Sit back and imagine thousands of tiny spiders squirming in your womb. Just fun for the whole family.

Ovipositive by Germindis and LucyRed: Gaster has a new machine, and Sans is the test subject. Set in Underfell. More horrifying kinks than you can shake a stick at, featuring involuntary breeding experiments and guest starring eggs. [Underfell]

~This fic is a real tough one, not going to lie. It left me feeling sick after. Not for the faint of heart!

accident by Nerdhands: It was a complete accident-- he couldn't find Sans and the only place he hadn't looked was that strange little shed behind the house. How was he supposed to know it was dangerous? [Undertale/Horrortale]

~A delectably fucked up little story about Papyrus encountering Horrortale!Sans.

pretty, poised. by sweetsinnerchild

~What’s creepier than a doll? A living one! Trapped in his own mind!

Moths to a Flame by TellCosy: There was a hole on Mount Ebott. It wasn't there before. Frisk finds a gaping hole where there had been only grass before. There is something inside. She is going to find out what. [Horrortale/Undertomb]

~Looking for something longer? Then this is the fic for you at a whopping 45 chapters. Well written and spoopy for sure.

[thepallas]

~Relationships that I can imagine Pallas having:

Romance:

 Varus - I’m living for this and always gonna ship it with @ask-arclight-varus​ . I don’t wanna talk too much about their relationship because I’ve posted stuff about it already, plus there are a lot of roleplays to read. :D They are just perf okay Shhhhh.

However, it doesn’t mean, that I don’t want to roleplay with other Varus blogs. Far from that! It’s okay if you don’t want to ship! I’m all about exploring the relationship between the demon and his corrupted one. I’d love to see how they would get along and how they would get used to each other, since now they are technically inseparable. Bickering? Actually supporting each other? Fighting alongside ? Finally reaching for Varus’s revenge? I’m down for everything. I love Varus as a character and I want to explore his experiences after being corrupted and even while he was guarding the temple. 

Friendship/Alliance:

Thresh - well they both certainly have an interest in souls. I believe, that first of all Pallas would be intrigued by Thresh’s lantern. Only after getting him to know at least a little bit better he would actually get interested in his personality too. Maybe he would be searching for benefit at first or would be just curious about the lantern ,but with time I can see it turning into friendship or at least alliance.

Karthus - a boy who was so fascinated by death and became an undead himself would definitelly seem interesting to Pallas. He’s interested in the way others view killing and since Karthus sees only beauty and purity in death’s embrace, he would be interested to discuss it.

Yorick, Hecarim (maybe) and  all the other undead living in Shadow Isles. Because well, reasons. Spoopy undead. 

Evelynn - I’ve already made a separate post about it, but I believe that they would get along very well. They have stuff in common. From the killing style, to similar descent and even somewhat similar outlook. You can read about it →here←. Evelynns, if you wanna demon bestie, come at me.

Nocturne - it’s not that difficult to explain.. One causes fear and nightmares and the other feeds on it. Regarding Nocturne’s lore they both know what it feels to be confined against their will. Don’t tell me that they wouldn’t get along. I’m happy to have a @the-dark-within​ ‘s Nocty bro for my Pallas, but once again, I’m more than fine with roleplaying with few blogs for the same muse.

Rhaast, Aatrox (and Kayn) - wellp when it comes to all the Darkin stuff they are related. Since I’ve created my Pallas before all the Darkin stuff was revealed, he still stays a demon, but it would be still interesting to explore these relationships. When it comes to Kayn, I’d love to see the interaction between them since he’s literally wielding Rhaast and Pallas is a similar creature freely walking around. (Also I secretly want to see their reaction to Pallas x Varus relationship xD)

Neutral/Mutual respect:

Kindred - even as an immortal being Pallas is respectful towards the Death itself. He feels like he is sort of tricking them (being immortal) and he knows that Kindred doesn’t approve* him killing the innocent who weren’t supposed to die yet, so he values their patience with him. He would try to stay on their good side, but would be brave enough to break some rules (because well he practically needs to do so to live). I can see them having some kind of mutual agreement. I know that Kindred appears to humans before dying, but Pallas would see them more often, maybe because he is not human himself? I can see them appearing to him to warn him as he steps in some sacret territories, or to warn him that he’s going too far with ‘breaking the rules’. Or maybe he would see them more often because he’s bringing death to others and Kindred would come to claim them.. but then there would be a conflict about their souls.. but maybe that would be the way they meet? Maybe death of some innocent human would be the beginning of their sophisticated relationship? Maybe that would be a chief impetus for them to make the agreement?

 *(at least I think that Kindred wouldn’t approve)

Vel’Koz - knowledge craving large void creature? He wouldn’t underestimate it.. But to be fair the ‘tentacles’ have to do a lot with it xD Don’t think about it in a wrong way, they just both have it. xdd (”It’s not tentacles!”)

Enemies/Rivals:

Karma, Soraka, Irelia, Shen (also probably Akali, Kennen and other Ionian goodies) - I am pretty sure that they would want to kill or at least capture Pallas again to regain the balance and save Ionia from the threat of being destroyed. But it not necessarily has to turn into fight or whatever. I’m also interested in the conflict between their morals and just to see how they would behave. Especially, before and after they find out what Pallas actually is. Maybe without revealing his identity Pallas could get on the good side of some of these characters, but they they would find out that he is the monster from the Tempe and … well it would be their decision what to do.

Other:

Jhin - Just like I said for Karthus, Pallas is interested in the way others view killing and viewing it as an art form does sound intriguing to him. 

Lissandra - He would be interested in her goals, because world could get at least a little bit darker and colder.

Noxians - it would be interesting to face someone from Noxus. Mainly because of the fact that during Ionian invasion they were moving towards the temple that Varus was guarding. It would be interesting to see if they (probably Swain) found out that the creature from the temple is right in front of them. Also I would be interested to explore the AU where Noxians succeeded at getting into the temple and using him for their own needs.

Other champions - to be honest Pallas had so many years to explore all the Runeterra and meet many people, so I would be happy to have some random interactions too. It’s not any less fun.

OCs - Don’t think that I forgot about OCs! Everyone is welcome! :D 

Note: Sorry if I got something wrong about all of these champions.  Also, this is just the way I imagine their relationship going, but if someone wouldn’t want it to go this way I’d be fine with it.

Eyesagao: A mcfreakin Essay

Hi welcome to who’s angst is it anywhere, where the AUs are made up and the plotholes don’t matter

Edit: Listen eyesagao aint just me, so I may be forgetting some things or we might have had some ideas that didnt add up or isnt showing up here my ba  d........;;;;;

Because I info dump about completely irrelevant things, I decided to try and talk a bit about all the Eyesagao AUs that exist for all of our angsty needs, but before we get into that (if I can ever get into that without going off topic) here is some very minimal info.

Eyesagao is an Asagao AU. Asagao is a dating sim where you can date your choice of several bois from the Normal Boots ‘club’, aka Normal Boots dudes from youtube. Eyesagao followed with the idea that Jack (septiceye), along with his ‘Anti (septiceye)’ demonic persona asshat dude also goes to Asagao, and Manipulates Jack’s girlfriend (Ellie) and her frendo (Traci) into pretty much fucking going crazy in love and doing all sorts of shit, and basically it’s up to their other frendos Elsa, and Ian (brutalm//oose from the youtubes) to try and keep shit together as they try not only to undercover Anti, but try to get their friends back to normal before someone seriously gets hurt.

And seriously, that’s the simplest way I can put it. The void (from Brutal//moose’s Tele//void!) seems to be where Anti is from, and is also where Ian is held each night for unknown reasons (to ‘appease the void’, who seem to have separate motivations and goals from Anti). Ian is forced to bring Elsa along to the void to keep her safe from Anti, who constantly tries to intimidate her to leave Ellie and Traci to be pawns along with Jack to his game, whatever the fuck his game is.

See, Anti has done this before, at Jack’s previous school. Somehow, Anti gets his grimy little claws into anyone Jack cares about and just drives them c r a z y, and the last time this happened, Jack did not figure out he was possessed, cut loose from his old life, and moved to Asagao, hoping for a new start.

Of course, Anti seems to grow more powerful with attention (like we all tend to do, but he does so literally grow more powerful), so after duping Traci into believing that she loves Jack (and that Jack loves her instead of Ellie), he reveals himself, and by this time, Traci is so blind to what’s happening, she just… accepts that she’s loved Anti all along. This lets him get away with more shit, in and out of the void, including creating these… void gals based on our three heroines/victims. They are pale, initially lifeless copies of Ellie, Elsa, and Traci originally created to bully Elsa out of staying in relative safety of the void, but due to Elsa unintentionally giving the Ellie and Traci copies attention (romantic attention, much like Traci had done with Anti), as well as names (Kelly and Grace), they became their own beings, and though they (And Chelsa, Elsa’s copy who somehow developed differently from the other two) sort of became lackeys to Anti, they don’t try and hurt Elsa anymore. Does this mean anything??? No clue. Now they’re instead trying to convince her to stay in the void with them, still taking her out of the picture, but its less harmful and brute force.

Also, oddly, while being polar opposites, the void girls ARE based on the regular gals, so their behavior reflects what they really want. Chelsa is uptight and strict while Elsa is relaxed and cheerful, but they both want to be the right one- the one that saves the day- the one that can be depended on.

Ellie and Kelly could not be more opposites. Ellie is nice and Kelly is a bitch L M AO. What I mean is that where Ellie is a bit reserved (and a rad asexual), Kelly is like 94% raw sexual energy who uses said energy to get whatever the hell she wants, but they both want so desperately to be needed.

Traci is soft where Grace is rough and unforgiving, Traci also shy where Grace says almost anything without filter. They want someone to want them- to find use in them where they can’t find use in themselves.

That, my friends, is the ‘original’ AU, as untouched by other Eyesagao Aus as I think I can separate it. However, some of the AUs begin after this chapter has ended- After their years at Asagao has taken place. Let me try to make some sense of it?? Of course, there are plotholes to hell, questions and more questions piling on, but hey, we just want the angst, right? Alright, let’s talk some angst then.

DWC AU: Probably the ‘darkest’ au, in which Traci and Jack go missing right before their graduation. (For comparison, Hana, the main character of Asagao, Elsa, Ellie, and Ian are 3rd years, and Traci and Jack seniors). One by one, Elsa, Ian, and Ellie disappear going on into the summer, leaving a whopping 5 missing students between the years. I would say this AU probably involves some of the Asagao cast ‘the most’ because its thanks to them that the missing kids are ‘found’. Basically, DWC stands for Dark Wood Circus, a vocaloid song about a spoopy circus of freaks. Years later, friends of the eyesagao peeps are still searching for their old high school friends when Hana spies a poster of a ringmaster that looks like Jack. Though the group looking for their old friends is moderate in size (Such has Hana, Luke, Mimi, Mai, Satch, a few others), Hana and Mimi sneak away to follow on this lead, only to come to the shocking discovery of said missing friends, now twisted into mindless creatures of the void/circus, run by none other than ‘Jack’. Even this AU kind of sections off into whether they can get their friends out of the circus and the eyegroup (Ian, Elsa, Ellie, and Traci) having to try and remember their old selves. Have we come up with a happy ending to this yet? Nope.

Adult AU: Somehow, though the mysterious powers that be, they survive high school. (I think we initially decided that Jack, now having the knowledge of Anti controlling him, leaves Asagao) But this leaves both Ellie and Traci incredibly broken as adults. Ellie is afraid to commit to anyone else, in fear into falling into ‘old habits’, and remains single and lonely, even going so far as to alienate herself from her friends. Traci ends up with Hana, but is almost a shell of herself. She’s very withdrawn and struggles to come back to feeling comfortable in her own body. This all goes up in smoke when, at a casual friend-reunion/catch-up dinner, Jack accidently ends up being invited along with Traci, who is hellishly convinced that Anti is still with him when Jack is unable to faithfully tell her that Anti is gone. This AU also involves Mimi and Hana, who, a few nights after the dinner, start exhibiting classic symptoms of exposure to anti or the void. (nausea, nose bleeds, dizziness, etc.)

(TGR: another Adult au where they actually do get their shit together, and save Jack. Elsa, who is poly and bi, dates Traci, who is poly and pan, but Elsa also sort of date-mates with Ellie after jokingly asking her out on a date which comes to fruition, with the intention of getting her more comfortable with dating others (as Ellie hadn’t dated anyone since she had Jack had broken up way back when). At first, Ellie and Traci date Elsa separately, desperate not to get in each other’s way, so afraid to be friends after what happened, but eventually Elsa brings the three of them together, and they all date. This Is the gayest AU, I like to think tbh, but certainly the happiest so far. Named TGR aka The Great Rebound l m ao)

AMA Au: AMA (Asagao Monster Academy) is another AU that I sort of collaborated with others (much more widespread tho, it was just the three of us working on the train wreck that is Eyesagao) where everyone (but Hana) is a monster that goes to Asagao Academy to learn how to be around, or live with humans. Honestly at this point we just put the two aus together just to put the two AUs together, but Jack is another human who’s is mistakenly sent to this school, but is possessed by a demon by the name of Anti, making him a half demon. The story plays out the as the original, but with Anti playing ‘his game’ to get magic from Traci, who is a unicorn in this AU and usually can ward off evil or non-virgins. He uses his influence over her to cloud her judgement and eventually wants to just cut off her horn, yikes. For added measure, Ellie is a golden Hind, a creature who will actually die at the touch of a human, so in falling for Jack, they’ve doomed themselves to either a love where they can’t touch, or a love where they have to put up with Anti literally forever to keep Jack as a demon.

Cameo AU: Basically a short ditty where mr edgiplier/darkiplier is passing through the void, and runs into the void gals, Chelsa, Kelly, and Grace. And because dark and anti are little jealous shits who only want what the other has, Dark extends the invitation to the girls to leave Anti and come work for him. Chelsa is like ‘hell no’, Grace is like ‘you had me going there, but nah son, I know a bad boss when I see one. And I already got one of those’ and Kelly is like ‘um maybe’ and causes this ugly spat where Kelly is about to up and leave (and almost lets Dark kill Grace) when Anti shows the fuck up and makes Kelly know where the hell she stands with him. (clue: she probably got in A LO T of fucking trouble).

This actually leads into the most recent AU-

D AU: Dau, aka ‘That D AU’/ ‘Timeline AU’ What started as a simple ‘what if Dark and Mark came to Asagao Instead of Jack and Anti’ and it honestly fucking mutated (as Eyesagao tends to do). It went from just ‘Similar events but Dark and Mark instead’ to ‘eerily familiar events taking place with almost all the same players. How are the void girls here if Anti never created them? What’s with the déjà vu? Ellie isn’t dating Mark, so now do things proceed?’ So basically what happens is that… once again, Dark and Anti are little shits who have no regards for anyone’s lives but their own, so Dark does… I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE DID OK he collaborated with Kelly and pulled some fucking shit and suddenly we’ve back at the beginning of Eyesagao. Things are out of place. Ian isn’t a prisoner of the void, but Ellie is. Mark is ‘dating’ Elsa. Elsa is doing all these crazy things ‘hurting all these other people’. Ian is completely unreliable and even m o r e of a jerk than his lovable jerk-tendencies. He’s completely unwilling to even try to begin to help. What’s happening what’s happening?

Dark is playing a game. He knows of the original timeline. Of Jack, of Anti, of the girls, void or no. This is a new timeline. Here he makes Ellie the void’s plaything, and instead goes after Elsa, trapping her in this game of his. He just wants to see if he can break her by the end of the school year. He pretends to be her boyfriend while manipulating her life to make other Asagao students h a t e h er in an effort to break the strongest thing about her- her love of her friends and her heart. Dark is much more versatile- he can hop though dreams, pull nightmares and secrets from the very corners of your mind. He uses this to manipulate the whole school to play along. He uses Chelsa, and Grace, who believe they were created by him, to try and bully Traci into not helping Ellie out in the void. Ian is having flashbacks (forwards? Flash-sideways? WHAT IS THIS, LOST?) to the other timeline, which is actually driving him a little crazy because he can’t make sense of it, and doesn’t want to believe any of it. Kelly and Dark are the only one who knows the truth, and Kelly aint telling, although she’s grown very tired of Dark’s games already, and figures if she can kill Elsa (though using Ellie’s body when she’s weak) without Dark finding out, Dark will get bored, or whatever, and finally be done with this damn school and these damn children and they can leave once and for all. (I also jokingly refer to this au as ‘Traci gets scared’ au because Traci goes through a lot of trauma as dark tries to scare her off without hurting her, as per his deal with Elsa, before he just fucking hurts her anyway)

Other bits not as developed:

Body Snatcher AU: Anti creates the void girls, or rather, give them a form specifically like our regular girls with the intention of giving them the actual physical bodies of the three girls so they can exist out in the real world. What followed is the three of them acting weird, Grace being completely unable to play Traci’s part until they can leave, chelsa n o t w an t I n g to act like Elsa, and Kelly honestly just rubbing it in everyone’s face (especially Ian, who would be the one person who knows about it but can’t do anything about it). It’s only a tiny joke-y but still p angsty when it gets down to it.

Yandere!Elsa: P much after the ‘everyone survives end’ of school, but instead of developing into the Adult Au, Elsa just… doesn’t adjust, she just doesn’t she can’t handle not having to take care of/looking after her friends. I think we said the void drove her mad or something?? She can’t adjust. She first finds Ian after such a long time, and tries to convince him to take her back to the void to see if she can find Kelly and Grace again, but he refuses, seeing that she’s just trying to get empty satisfaction out of something dangerous. She then goes after Traci and Ellie bc she loves them ofc

Reverse AU: Uhm this one came out of nowhere and I think about it A LOT but basically it’s just a situation where Jack and Anti knowingly share a body. Unhappily, but they do it. They’re fucking stuck. At this point they’re like brothers, and Anti has no interest in human life, so usually he leaves Jack be unless he wants to stretch out. Then, as Jack moves and starts going to Asagao, he falls for Ellie…. And Anti falls for a human as well. Her name is Traci, and she’s human, but in this AU she’s a snake. Once Anti reveals himself to be a demon, just out of his love of her, she starts to manipulate him into doing shit she wants, just trying to see what she can get out it. She pretty much goes mad with power over him tbh, and Jack is struggling because he knows and Anti knows shit she’s having him do is w r o ng, but what’s better to the glitchy demon, satisfaction or morality?

The Dragon AU: Um Traci just fuckign accepts that Anti is a bad dude and doesn’t love her but does depend on her to get what he needs done so she just straight up becomes his right hand dude idk what the fucks going through her head Traci stop being b a d. “'Traci you know he’s using you' 'yea, I learned that a few years ago, but for whatever reason, he didn’t kill me or toss me to the curb and I guess some twisted part of me really appreciates that'” is literally the only dialog I have for that whole au

GenderSwap Au: Just literally everyone being the opposite gender can you imagine how fucking intense that would be, two guys in a full out brawl after one broke down crying in the cafeteria. Also, how fucking creepier does Ellie and Tracy’s actions get as males?? Just holy shit it just gets weirder the more you think about it.
