bowuigi werewolf fic premise
"Help...get help..."
That was the last thing Luigi heard Mario say, watching his brother's complexion fade from pale beige to translucent white, a pained scream escaping the red plumber's throat before his human form was replaced with a terrifying boo instead.
It had been a while since Luigi had seen King Boo, hoping that he was finished with the poltergeist's schemes. But it seems that the undead monarch had other plans.
At first it started out the same, E. Gadd requested for his help at a new mansion, Mario had been captured as well and Luigi spent most of his adventure sucking up ghosts while collecting any money he found along the way.
Expect it wasn't E. Gadd who was asking for him to come, and Mario was only bait for a trap laid out by King Boo. Soon, the brothers were trapped in separate cages, the older trying to comfort the younger as best he could until King Boo came back holding two potions.
Luigi was first, being levitated out of the cage by two other boos holding onto his arms as the king forced the liquid down his throat, making sure he downed every last drop. Once the bottle was empty, Luigi was thrown to the floor as a sharp pain pierced threw his spine.
His bones cracked as his clothes began to tear and his body shifted and molded into something totally inhuman. The green human watched in horror as fur protruded from his skin and his mouth stretched and twisted into a snout. Luigi wanted to scream, but he was in so much pain that he barely has any energy to make no more than a whine. When it was done, he looked down to see that his hands were now paws and a tail was poking through his overalls. His stomach churned when he realized that King Boo and managed to accomplish turning him into a werewolf.
He all but collapsed on the floor, helpless to do anything but watch King Boo take the other potion and repeat everything with his brother. He knew he couldn't just lay here, he had to do something!
When he successfully managed to stand on all fours for the first time, he turned to his brother, who had unfortunately drank his potion as well, leading to Mario turning into a boo and whispering his last sentence to Luigi.
Adrenaline kicked in, his new nose twitched, his fur stood on end, everything felt alive! Once King Boo turned back to face the younger brother, the new wolf was already bolting out the door, his new form giving his an unimaginable speed he never felt or saw before.
He ran through each hallway, past each ghost and boo, not bothering to look back as he managed to escape through the mansion doors and into the nearest pipe he could find, ignoring King Boo's shrieks of anger.
On the other side, the adrenaline was finally fading away, leaving Luigi to hobble throughout wherever he landed upon. His bleary eyes took in their surroundings as best as they could, lit up by the bright moon, there was something familiar about the rock and lava he passed but he was too tired to let himself remember.
Finally, he came across a huge fortress, hopefully whoever was in there could help him. He lifted a paw to pitifully scratch at the door, pleading interally that someone would answer, every second he could feel himself wasting away.
As though his prayers were answered, the doors opened, revealing an extremely large and confused koopa. Only it wasn't any koopa, the last of his lucidity kicked in when he realized that it was none other than King Bowser who answered the door.
"Wha?- What is the meaning of this?!" he demanded, "Why the hell is there a mutt at my castle?!"
He tried to give a response, but the sun began to rise and he let out a pained whine as his bones cracked and clicked back into his human form, ready to repeat the process for every morning and evening to come.
"Luigi?" the koopa's harsh gaze was gone, replaced with confusion and a lace of worry?
"Please," Luigi whimpered, "I have nowhere else to go."
He stumbled, slumber catching up to him as he fainted, only for Bowser to catch him and hold the human in his arms.
"Easy there greenie," Bowser murmured as Luigi drifted into sleep. Bowser's heart plummeted at the state the plumber was in, "Oh Luigi, what happened to you?"
Feel free to use this as inspiration for any fics you want to write!!! <3<3<3

FUN IDEIA ALERT!!!
FUN IDEIA ALERT!!!
Spoopy season requires spoopy things
sooo i was kinda of thinking Ghost!child reader with the gang (platonic, always!)
Lemme explain it to ya, So i wanted to see some hc of an spirit child reader whos soul got stuck into the digital circus, how, you say? Lets say that in the moment that reader putted the headset something fell in their head, killing them instantly, since reader was wearing the Headset, instead of their body and conscience go to the digital circus, their soul got there! Their appearance being something peaceful and pleasing to the eye, like Reader's appearance are a child covered in white robes with some gold details and a flower crown. But reader's eyes represent constant sadness, like there are always rivers of tears falling off their eyes who (strangely) doesnt make a mess on the floor, kinda like Gangle's tears but more sad
If you go close enough to Reader you can hear multiple whispers, inaudible ones cuz its multiple whispers at one time but only Reader can understand them. If they question what the whispers says, Reader will say: "its the voices lamenting." In a full echoish-whisperish voice.
BUUT theres more!
Since reader is a spirit they can lift things with their mind, dim the lights and go invisible (ghost things)
Reader rarely express any other emotion than sadness, but when they snap... OH BOI
Reader will go full hostile mode, their appearance distorts into something really creepy, like their eyes will go full pitch black and the tears turns into some glitchy goo, their robes getting slightly black in the edges, Reader will start throwing things around with their mind and scream loud as hell, basically like a ghost tantrum.
Im very excited with this ideia AAAA
- 🦇
Crying child
Ik that isn't what you meant. But the first thing my mind went to is the crying children from fnaf. Also this sounds honestly really hard to write for. I ain't gonna just not write it though. I wasn't really sure if you wanted headcannons or a oneshot. But this felt like a more oneshot-ish request so I did that. TADC Crew x Child Ghost Reader
You were one of the first people to arrive at the digital circus. You were around 6 when you first arrived and are now much older. But being trapped here as well as being dead had taken it's toll on your young mind so you still act around the same as when you first arrived. Still easily excitable, still gullible, still sad. You really were like a ghost. Not only because you were literally a ghost but you rarely spoke unless spoken to and would just quietly float around an endless stream of tears falling from your eyes. You also had the tendency to just stare at people. You had an aura of sadness around you. The occasional quiet sob and endless depressed whispers that always followed you around made it hard to be around you for long periods of time. Their's a lot of mental problems in the circus already, and you sure as hell ain't gonna help. When you are happy, which is rare you're quite nice to be around. The tears and whispers stop and you really do feel like just a normal kid to the others. Now anger is a different story. When you're angry Caine has to actually lock you up cause you've killed a few people. Your usual appearance resembles a fallen angel. Snapped halo, dirtied once pristine white robes lined with gold. But when you're angry it flips. Your robes singe at the edges leaving behind a brownish blood red color your halo sinks into your head and is replaced by a single broken pure red horn. The fact that your soul is in the circus makes you have some kind of power. You don't really use it cause you don't know how. But when you're mad at someone it is proper time to freak out because you've deleted a few people. You always feel horrible afterwards but their isn't anything you can do for them. The ones who have been abstracted at least have a chance of being helped. The ones you deleted not so much. So in the rare occurrence that you're around everyone they do their best to keep you calm, and to keep Jax away from you (He doesn't believe you're a threat.)
(Another kind of strange request. Sorry if this isn't good. I just didn't really know what to write. I did my best though. Hope you enjoyed it.)
xoxo, Jester

TARREN 💕 IM SO SORRY I KEEP FORGETTING TO SEND ASKS FOR SPOOPY SEASON
If it's not too late for the Fear Lounge I was hoping for a smol drabble for Yandere!Alfred (for me and C). Make it as dark as you'd like!!
And what spoopy movie you'd recommend to a newbie horror movie watcher! I'm thinkin of dipping my toes into the pool 👀
🕸️ Caught! - Send in a character with a prompt/theme and I will write a drabble for you! (Less than 500 words) 📼 Scary Movie - I'll tell you what horror/Halloween/fall movie I'd watch with you!
Fear Lounge
Hi H!! You made it just in time and oh dear 😵💫😵💫😵💫
I had a scene thought out for this request, but as I started writing it uh...took a turn and I know you said make it as dark as I'd like, but I'm still worried this is too much 😩 I went with the more obsessive side of yandere 💀 I was inspired by movies like Prom Night (2008) and The Resident (2011). I hope you and C like it!! 💕💕
Yandere!Alfred Pennyworth x (Implied)F!Reader
Tags: stalking, masturbating (male), yandere, mention of dubcon/noncon actions
It’s as soon as Bruce leaves that Alfred does his own moonlighting of sorts.
As the Dodge Charger roars out of Wayne Terminus, Alfred makes his way to his desk in the open concept foyer.
It’s just a few clicks to pull up what he’s looking for; pictures and videos of you from the Wayne Tower security cameras.
Alfred admits he was ashamed for lusting after you, but he’s in too deep now. There’s no going back.
He lets out a soft sigh as he undoes the button and zipper of his pants.
There’s a camera that overlooks directly above your desk at Wayne Tower, during the day he often watches you work. Sometimes he gets a nice view down your blouse depending on the angle you sit at.
Alfred begins to stroke his cock to the sight of you. He’s always such a well composed man, but you, something about you sets him off, makes him…unhinged.
All the things he’s done to get close to you; finding excuses for him to call you, brushing his hand against yours, or insisting you join him on errands for Bruce.
As he touches himself, his other hand retrieves from his pocket a pair of your panties. He couldn’t help looking through your bag that day when he saw on the cameras that you had left your desk. He doesn’t know what possessed him, but he rummaged through your belongings and found the garment and pocketed it.
He strokes his cock faster now. God, he’s so hard from just thinking about how you make him come undone. He imagines that fucking you would ruin a man to pieces. Oh, how he longs to feel you from the inside; wants to rut into you until you’re full of his come. He bets you’d look stunning underneath him.
“God,” he breathes out before bringing your panties to his face and deeply inhaling your scent from them.
He adjusts them in his hand and wraps that hand around his cock so he’s stroking himself with your panties. He uses his free hand to navigate the pictures and videos.
You make him absolutely insane.
His hand moves faster and his breath hitches in his throat.
He wishes he had more courage to approach you in person, but words fail him when he’s around you. You’re so beautiful and his throat tightens when you walk near him; the way your hips move, the scent of your perfume as you walk by, the way your eyes look from under those lashes.
He comes with a sudden gasp and jerk. He releases his spend into your lacy garment, moaning softly as he watches it soak up his come off his cock.
Maybe he should give them back to you like this. You would never know…or you might. He isn’t sure which idea he likes better.
Alfred cleans himself up and looks to the pictures of you on his computer screen.
His gaze slides over to a file on his desk, a file he asked you to bring to him first thing in the morning. You won’t be able to find it and well, he’d be remissed to not help you.
There are soooo many options in my head for what I would recommend as a horror movie if you're just getting into them, but I gotta go with a classic that (to me) feels well rounded enough to introduce someone to horror!
With you, H, I'd watch-!
It is a SUPER fun and neat horror movie. It has some intrigue, supernatural elements, and some blood and guts, but the tone of the movie is very light and spooky rather than doom, gloom, and gore. One of my besties and I have a tradition of watching it EVERY year because it's just a classic. It's got a little bit of everything! Plus, I think there are some scenes you'd really like!!

Peek-a-boo, I see you
Tiktok put a gun to my head and made me aware of Wally Darling, so have a random little fic for him to exorsize this bastard from my brain lol.
The creator is Clown shaped coffin if I remember his name right, and this is entirely non-canon fun. Just enjoy it as a spoopy kind of x reader junk food, and RESPECT THE CREATOR’S BOUNDARIES YOU HEATHENS.
Old tv shows were a mixed bag. Some were cheesy, dated, and full of misinformation, especially old children's educational shows, and some were sketchy and blatantly unacceptable by the modern standard. Which proved to be a fun betting game for you and your friends. So, when you found a box of dusty, sun-yellowed video tapes in your attic that had likely been left by a past resident, relics from the olden days of cable and the first VHS's, You thought a watch party of sorts would make for a fun night for you and your friends. Which, it had been! Even if finding a VHS player in today's modern time was a hassle, Welcome Home was a fun mix of colorful and energetic, simply oozing a charming abundance of cheese for your little group to enjoy. Which, made it all the more enjoyable to commentate over the child-friendly plots and loveable characters. From playing the low-stakes plots far too seriously, to wolf-whistling and making sly jokes about characters like Frank, Poppy, or Eddie, you and your friends had a blast as you watched about half of the first season. Which, was more than enough time for one particular character to wander his way into your heart and make it his home. Wally Darling. Wally Darling was easily a favorite amongst your friend group as soon as it was brought up how long he took to do his hair each morning in one episode. Which, had earned him quite a few playful comments and jabs, while the lot of you watched. Plus, he had been such a sleepy, relaxed character in juxtaposition to the light-hearted energy of Barnaby, or the bubbly extrovertism of Julie, so you found yourself putting the cheesy kids show on even after your party. "Geez Wally, are you only going to paint apples?!" Julie asked the main character on one of the occasions you had the third season playing for white noise during chores. "He could paint something a lot pervier, Julie." You said while folding clothes on your bed. Repeating a joke you had admittedly made more than one time at the episode and still laughing at your own implication as the episode obliviously played. Going through the motions of the bubbly girl dragging the yellow-skinned, blue-pompador'd artist around to find a muse that wasn't his favorite fruit. You, meanwhile, sat and half watched while you folded a towel and mulled over your to-do list for the day until the tape ended and you had to rewind it yet again. "Have you ever wanted to have a chat with your bestest friend, Wally Darling?" The Salesman in the opening ad asked, sounding as if he'd chugged three Monsters before recording the pitch. Showing clips of the aforementioned doll as he continued, "Have you wanted to ask him a question, but didn't know where to send a letter? Just say hello and how much you enjoy the show? Well, fret no more! for 25 cents a minute, you don't need to write him, you can call!" His words making you chuckle. After all, phone services nowadays were almost extinct, if they weren't more aligned with...adults than children. So, hearing the man pitch an outrageous price for a simple phonecall with someone claiming to be a cartoon character to assumedly children, was amusing. Though, to have such a wild price for a call must mean this show was fairly popular. Wonder why I've never heard it mentioned, You mused while the first episode began to play. Only to have a sudden thought pop up in your mind, Wonder if I could call the number still. It was a rash, impulsive thought. The number was almost certainly defunct and abandoned, it was bound to not go through and be a waste of time to try. Which, you knew very well. But, that didn't keep you from digging around in the scattered piles of folded and rumpled clothing until you found your phone half hidden under a stack of bed sheets. After that, dialing the number was a breeze since you'd heard that ad so many times. And, to your surprise, the call even seemed to go through! Just as fast as your curiosity shot up though, you jumped at a sudden, shrill scream of an old phone ringing. Yet, the only phone you had in your home was your cellphone, which was singing out a different chime into your ear. Which, only left one possible source for the sudden ringing in your room. The television. Granted, the phone on tv ringing normally wouldn't have been an issue. Wally was the Elmo of Welcome Home, he obviously got plenty of phone calls from his friends. It was just that...Wally wasn't supposed to have anybody calling him this episode. The episode was all about seeing a day in the life of Wally Darling. From his hour and a half of hair care, to his bedtime routine, the viewer was meant to follow him through the entire time. And, while yes the episode did have a one or two minor conflicts he helped with, they came up while he was out and about. So, by all forms of logic, his phone shouldn't be ringing. "Oh, seems we have a phone call." Wally drawled in his lazy, spacey voice. Pausing his explanation of what he often ate in the morning and what made a balanced diet to head for the land-line he had sitting on it's own little table beside his favorite armchair. However, before he could pick up and maybe speak to you, you smashed 'end call on your phone's screen and watched with no breath in your lungs as Wally's phone went silent as well. Earning a simple, "Oh. I guess they changed their mind. We'll have to be faster next time, neighbor." and a smile from the puppet. That wasn't in the script. The thought kept circling your head, taking over every possible sense with a fresh coat of fear with each lap. That wasn't in the script. Wally never gets a phone call in this episode. He never says that. You didn't know what to do with that information. It wasn't like you could blame a coincidence after all, you'd seen this entire tape from beginning to end more than once, and not a single time had Wally gotten a call this episode, or mentioned one. Yet, there he was. Acting as if your attempted call had been almost expected, and just returning to his script as if you weren't physically shaking like a small dog in a thunderstorm. What do I do? Do I tell my friends? Google it? Get a check-up? You thought, watching Wally go about doing the morning dishes blithely and mention his need to go to the shop for some groceries. Yet, that impulsive voice returned when Wally paused at the door, "Though, let's wait a moment. Just to see if that neighbor calls back." He suggested to the camera, "I'll give it two minutes, after that I really do need to go see Howdy." Yet another change from the script. An invitation, by all accounts. As if Wally somehow knew you were there. Watching him, still holding your phone, and debating trying to call again. I should call my friends. I shouldn't poke at this. The rational side of you said, leave this shit ALONE. Yet, you did neither. Instead of calling one of your friends to get their advice, you hit the redial option and looked back to the screen. Watching the puppet's bright red phone ring again, and the blue-haired...creature, pick up. "You know, neighbor. It's very rude to hang up so abruptly when you were the one to call." He hummed, his spacey, quiet voice drifting into your ear as crisply as if your best friend were speaking. Not only that, but he'd somehow known who had called him despite his land-line having no form of caller id. Wait, why is he- is he SMUG about my calling? You asked yourself, putting a hand to your chest to mindlessly try to slow your racing heartbeat while your brain whirled with panicked thoughts. Was it just a lucky guess that he knew you were calling back? Did he just know? Could he see you? As if to answer your questions, you honed back in on the episode, and sure enough. Wally was simply sitting in his arm chair, smiling and staring at you with large, bottomless voids for pupils. "Hello? Hello~" He sang finally, forcibly grounding you and assuring you that yes. This was reality. "Cat got your tongue, neighbor? Is there something you needed?" he asked, as if it were nothing more than one of the usual calls Julie or Frank might make. Yet, you could still hear the knowing tone laced into his ambling voice. Wally Darling, knew all too well what he was doing. Instantly, you wanted to simply hang up and shut off the tv. You wanted to unplug the thing and chuck it out your window like a frisbee. Yet, you couldn't bring yourself to move an inch under that haunting stare of the cartoon character. So, you instead dry swallowed the lump in your throat and squeaked out, "H-hi..." "Oh, there you are." Wally hummed, "Was there something you wanted to talk about? Or did you perhaps need my help with something?" "N-no..." You forced out, barely a whisper through the terror that rooted you to your bed in a shocking state of calm. Adding quietly, "I just...tried this number." "Oh, well I sadly can't stay to chat. I have to go shopping before I forget." He told you innocently, giving you a sweet smile that now seemed sour as he added, "I would love it if you called again at a later date, though. Then, we can have a nice, lengthy chat. Good bye neighbor, I love you." With that, Wally put the phone back in it's cradle and the episode seemed to go back to utter normalcy. Wally going out to shop as if the conversation had never happened. Just, leaving you physically shaking on your bed with your laundry forgotten. And, admittedly, you stayed like that, utterly frozen, until the tape once again reached its end. Only then, you found you could launch yourself at the vhs player to snatch the black rectangle out of it. Quick to slap it back into its yellowing case and gather the other videos. All of a sudden, you could understand exactly why the original owners might have abandoned those seasons in the attic.

Haven't written anything in a stupidly long time, so here's an excerpt from one thing I'm writing for spoopy season. I have my actual Halloween day fic but this is a little extra, as a treat since its that time of year lol. It's Reno and Rude on a job in one of Hojo's creepy, out of commission labs...and they're about to find out why its out of commission.
XXX
“Look man,” Reno took a slow, shaky breath, “I ain't afraid of much but...” He swallowed, throat suddenly as dry as the Corel desert, “But...” He repeated, laying delicate stress on the word with a small wince, “Whatever the hell Hojo's been up to down there, I don't wanna know.” Rude watched his partner; tense shoulders, pale face, narrowed eyes, “Orders from up top.” He said, frowning at the large metal doors they stood in front of. “Orders. Right.” Reno licked his lips, sucked the bottom one between his teeth and stared at those doors like they were going to open up and swallow him whole. “So...uh...you gonna open 'em?” He tried, fidgeting with his EMR inside his left pocket, he glanced at his partner who shrugged. “You want me to?” “No.” Reno sneered, it fell quickly from his face, “But...” “Orders.” “From up top.” Reno sighed, the air escaping his lungs coming out more like a wheeze. “Ready?” “Nope.” Reno rubbed at his face, cursing himself under his breath, “Ok. Ok. We got this, yo. It's nothin'. We've faced down monsters, humans and everythin'...this'll be easy.” Rude's frown tightened but finally he stepped towards the electronic panel, he hesitated only briefly before hitting the numbers for the passcode they had been given. Behind him, Reno muttered something about Hojo but Rude wasn't paying much attention as the keypad blinked green and the massive metal doors started to open. “Easy. So far, so good.” Reno cleared his throat, frowning at the darkness yawning before him like the jaws of a starving beast. “Great. Right, let's do this...” He didn't move from where he stood. Rude sighed and made the first move. He stepped into the shadow of the doorway and into the entrance of the old lab. Outside Reno let out a small moan and followed. Rude pulled out a pocket sized torch and turned it on. Slowly he shone the light around, looking for a light switch or circuit box. Reno stood much too close, their elbows bumping together. The sound of their breathing felt too loud in the eerie silence. “So...how many kids've got lost down here?” “Hojo reckons ten or more.” Rude replied coolly. “Oh good.” Reno's voice broke a little on his sarcasm and he winced. “Let's hurry this up, man. It's damn cold. “Yeah...” Rude frowned, approaching a large box attached to a nearby wall, he inspected the signs and symbols on it before opening it with a rusty creak. “Shit. Lights are fucked.” He stared at the blackened plastic and rusted metal, wires of various colours spilled out of holes torn into the casing. “Great. Flash lights it is.” Reno groaned, shivering in the frozen silence. His eyes darted around as he pulled out his own little torch and pressed the button. Light spilled across the tiled floors, sliding over large, rusty metal contraptions, old safety gear and shattered glass. “What the hell happened here, yo?” Rude couldn't answer, he hadn't liked the smug look on Hojo's face as he'd handed them this job. He didn't like any jobs he got from the professor but this one was beginning to look like it was going to top Rude's mental list of Worst Jobs Ever. The lack of any real intelligence was beginning to feel more like a deliberate omission rather than genuine ignorance, he wondered if Hojo was somehow watching them through the defunct cameras scattering the facility. He wouldn't put it past the creep. “Any mention of dangerous chemicals?” Reno asked, his light lingering on a barrel bearing a bright yellow symbol. The top was rusted open and some sort of sticky, yellow-green fluid was leaking across the floor. “No...” Rude eyed the fluid warily, “Just don't touch anything.” Reno shot Rude a look, “Noted.” He said dryly.

ΉΣᄂᄂӨ, ƬΉIƧ IƧ ПӨƬ ΉIᄂᄂIΣ! Was it getting too quiet in your inbox? 🤭 Your last set of answers means there’s more on my inspirational moodboard… but it also means I’m back to bother you! 🧚
1 - “But HEX anon! 😱 You didn’t ask about the other other ship in my form!” Until now, that is! So today’s your chance. What draws you to the idea of Ben ⚗️ and Luna 🌙? What do they see in each other, what connects them, how did anything happen? It’s such a mystery to me 🔎 I want to see them through your eyes to build your gift properly or I’m just snoopy for spoopy season 🎃, so please share!
2 - Fluff and whump, or fluff or whump? What’s your favorite flavor of each?
3 - And just for fun, a little wintery quickfire round: ❄️ hot chocolate or mulled cider? ❄️ fairy lights or fireplace? ❄️ cold fingers or cold nose? ❄️ ice skating or skiing? ❄️ lazy mornings or cozy nights?
Until next time! ✨💚
Hi Anon, welcome back! I was wondering if you’d appear again soon actually! 😊
*Rubs hands together in excitement* Let’s see what questions you have for me this time, and how long my answers will be 😅.
1 - Ben/Luna: Oh dear, I completely forgot that I put this ship in there as well. Ben x Luna is one of the pairings I never had thought of before, until I saw a fic with the ship in the tags, and I got curious. I like the idea of a redemption arc for Luna, and a lot of fics I've read so far with these two include exactly that. Canon Ben and Luna seem like some of the farthest removed from becoming a couple of all the character pairings, and I don’t think they even interacted with each other throughout the whole series (if I remember correctly).
I don’t have strict headcanons about them. They’re great for a kind of enemies to lovers trope imo, like for example Luna could try to persuade Ben to spy on Rosalind for her or something, but Ben only knows Luna from stories of her interactions with Farah. Or maybe they met plenty of times but she never truly acknowledged him? So I imagine he’d be quite taken aback by her suddenly trying to use him. And then Ben goes off to a different school. So far I have no idea how I would work Luna back into that (yet). And to get them together in the end Ben has to at least return to Alfea for some reason (although, their rendez vous could start before that, who knows).
For this ship to eventually sail, I think they would somehow have to be forced to trust each other, like Ben has to save Luna from something, or something happens that causes her triple-layered mask to drop and be vulnerable with him. Ben is a bit of a softie, but also a caretaker I think? So I imagine him naturally wanting to be there for people who might need it, and I really think stubborn, prideful Luna could use someone to lean on. I feel like she never truly experienced unconditional love, with her being the crown princess and now queen. If you’d follow my Ben/Rose headcanon, then Ben has, so he could give her that.
I could go on and on about this and accidentally write half a fic myself, so I'll stop now.
2 - Fluff and/or Whump: Hmm, I don’t necessarily go looking for whump on its own, I mostly accidentally stumble into it through the fluff or silrah tags. So I don’t really have a favorite flavor of whump? I do prefer when the whump gets resolved though. I tried writing whump and it just turned into angst, though I got told that could count as emotional whump?
As for fluff, I enjoy it the most in combination with angst! Fluff on its own can be nice too, but in that format I tend to only read oneshots. I vaguely remember reading a Silrah fic that ended up going on and on with just fluff, and I got really bored. I have tried writing a pure fluff fic myself, and ended up inserting small bits of angst anyway 😂. With longfics I mostly enjoy reading and writing fluff before and/or after the angst or whump, and/or bits sprinkled throughout.
Conclusion: I love angst.
3 - Quickfire round: Hot chocolate (if you’d said mulled wine it would’ve been way harder to choose), fairy lights (I love a good fire, but fairylights can be used year round!), cold nose (I hate hate hate hate cold fingers. And toes.), ice skating, cozy nights.
Hope this all helps with your moodboard, and that I didn’t just end up giving you even more options, oops!
#Another one of my small essays#I hope everyone who likes to read everyones HEX replies enjoys reading#If not I'm so sorry#ftwsholidayexchange

NOTE. based off of this post i made !! happy spoopy season baby
PAIRING. gojo satoru x afab!reader
WORD COUNT. 1.8k
WARNINGS. explicit content, cockwarming, dom gojo, sub reader
You’re not a brave person. The statement seems absurd given how you exorcise curses for a career. Despite your willingness to put your life on the line with every mission you’re assigned, you still consider yourself to be a rather fearful individual. You have no issue risking your life every day. That’s not what scares you: fighting curses day in and day out is easy to you. No, what scares you shitless is the prospect of watching a horror movie.
It doesn’t make any sense. You know this. How can you be afraid of watching some measly horror film when you fight real-life monsters every weekday? You really don’t know. It’s not like you can pick and choose your fears. If you could, you would choose to be afraid of something that didn’t seem quite so silly.
But that’s neither here nor there. What matters are the facts, and the fact of the matter is that you hate scary movies. Your boyfriend knows this, which is why you’re not sure the reason for the conversation currently taking place.
“Satoru.” You drag the pads of a couple of fingers against your temples in a swirling motion, trying to stave off the oncoming headache that threatens to bubble to the surface. “You know how much I fucking hate scary movies.”
From his perch on the corner of your desk, which he’s been sitting on since he first showed up unannounced to your office space on Tokyo’s campus, Gojo doesn’t look perturbed by your harsh language. His lithe fingers absentmindedly fiddle with a spare pen he plucked from your stash of writing utensils as the man juts his lower lip into an exaggerated pout.
“I know you hate horror movies, but I think it would be fun to watch them together,” Gojo throws a hand in the air to motion, “You know, like a movie marathon. Besides, as the greatest, I’ll be there to protect you if you start crying like a baby.”
Gojo turns on his infinity the instant you hurl a pencil eraser at him. It bounces off of him harmlessly, and the man smiles at your foiled attempt to hurt him. You, in turn, huff in defeat and annoyance at him for cheating. Your attention is effectively drawn away from the paperwork you were previously attempting to finish before Gojo had burst through the door like a whirlwind. Gojo always proves to be a distraction whenever he’s around.
“First of all, I would not fucking cry,” you punctuate the end of your sentence by sending a withering glare at Gojo. His smile widens, growing cheekier, at the gesture. “Second of all, that sounds awful, Satoru. I may love you, but there is no fucking way I’m going to binge scary movies with you.”
Hoping that’s the end of the conversation, you duck your head down and start to pick up where you left off in your paperwork. Before you have the chance to even jot down another word, your pencil is suddenly snatched from your fingers.
Looking up, you see Gojo now playing with your pencil. You take a deep breath to push away the headache looming over you. “Satoru, give me my shit back so I can finish my work. Please,” you tightly say, slowly pronouncing each syllable. Your irritation is thinly veiled, and it’s only a matter of time before you kick Gojo out of your office. (Try to kick Gojo out, at least. There’s no way you can actually make Gojo leave unless he desired to.)
“Nope,” he says, popping the p sound with his lips. You swear a vein bulges to the surface on your forehead at his sing-song tone. He hops off of your desk in one fluid motion to stand in front of it. Placing two hands on your desk to support his weight, Gojo leans in until he’s face to face with you. “How about this? If we watch scary movies together then we can do whatever you want for our next date.”
You stop and take a moment to think over his words. It’s an intriguing offer. You mull it over, considering the possible trade-offs. You might shit your pants in fright while watching horror movies with Gojo, but you’ll get to choose whatever you guys do for your next date. You wouldn’t plan on doing anything crazy, but you appreciate that the option is open for it.
“Whatever I want?”
Gojo smiles, knowing your decision already. If you weren’t going to agree, you would have shut him down already. “Whatever you want, sweet cheeks,” he echoes. He watches as a light scowl graces your face at his use of the term of endearment. You’ve complained numerous times about the pet name, but Gojo knows that you secretly like it, enjoying how cliché and overly sweet it is.
He allows you to slip your fingers into the edge of his blindfold and tug it down to pool around his neck. The light in the room is a little too strong, a little too bright for him, so he closes his eyes. He turns off his infinity when he feels the familiar weight of your palm against his cheek. Gojo hears you shuffle and senses you leaning in closer to him: your soft exhales ghost over his skin.
“Fine, Satoru. I’ll watch your dumb movies with you,” you grumble in agreement before you close the small gap between you. He smiles against your lips, happy to have gotten his way.
—
“You know, this is definitely not what I had envisioned when you said you wanted to watch scary movies together,” you remark.
You have your legs on either side of Gojo’s waist, knees touching the cushions of the couch’s backrest, and thighs squished on top of his. Your head rests nestled against Gojo’s chest, cheek pressed flat to the muscle of his pec. The steady rhythm of his heartbeat thumps beneath your ear, a sound you’ve always found comfort in.
A throw blanket is draped over both of your bodies, concealing how your naked bottom halves are connected. Gojo is buried to the hilt inside of you, the length of his cock fitted snugly within your wet, warm walls.
“Isn’t this better than what you imagined?” Gojo coos, pressing a quick kiss to your hair before tucking your head beneath his chin. His large hands rest on your bare ass, thick fingers splayed out across your skin, softly kneading the flesh.
You make a quiet incomprehensible sound, not wanting to admit to Gojo that this is better than you had originally thought it would be. There’s no way you’d inflate his ego even more. The only thing that could make this experience more enjoyable is if you weren’t watching a horror film.
The lights in the living room are dimmed all the way: the only source of light comes from the flashing colors emitted by your tv screen. You’re not even sure what movie Gojo picked for you guys to watch together. All you know is that- at your insistence- he promised to pick the least scary scary movie to play. You think he might have broken his promise because whatever movie is playing across the tv screen is scary as shit.
You bury your face into his chest, clenching your eyes shut in anticipation of what’s about to occur on screen. The background music has gotten all eerie, and you take that as an indication that something terrifying is going to happen. You automatically jump in Gojo’s hold when the music reaches a climax, and the female protagonist lets out an ear-shattering scream.
At the same time, your pussy clenches tightly around Gojo, causing his cock to twitch inside of you. His head immediately drops lower, cheek pressing into your temple now. Gojo’s lips brush against the outer shell of your ear as a low groan escapes his throat. His fingers instinctively squeeze the plush of your ass as he mutters a quiet “Fuck” into your ear.
Your fear of the horror film playing dies down a little as hot arousal swirls in your stomach. A lightbulb suddenly goes off in your head. You know a way that can get all of your attention off of the fucking terrifying movie on the screen. Slowly, you snake your arms out from the space between Gojo’s back and the couch’s cushion to entwine them around his neck. You lift your head off of Gojo’s chest- firmly keeping your eyes away from the tv screen- to look at him.
His attention is still on the tv, looking like he’s genuinely enjoying the film. Infuriatingly enough, there is not a trace of fear or apprehension on Gojo’s face. Instead, he looks amused with the content of the movie. How he can find a scary movie funny, you have no clue.
Your fingers toy with the short white strands of his hair at the back of his neck, drawing Gojo’s attention to you. You nuzzle your face into the junction of his shoulder and neck before you purposefully clench your cunt around Gojo’s length. His hips instinctively rut up, sending delicious sparks of pleasure up your spine.
“You did that on purpose,” Gojo accuses. His thick fingers dig into the fat of your ass, dimpling the skin. A warning to not move anymore. A warning you don’t plan on heeding.
“Mm, maybe,” you say, impishly. You roll your hips the slightest bit, grinding against Gojo. His throat bobs when you press a kiss to the pale expanse of his neck. “I can think of something a little more fun than watching this movie. Can you, Satoru?”
He whines a little when your kisses transform into sharp nips to his sensitive skin, soothed only when you swirl your tongue over the darkening marks. Gojo fits a large, warm hand around the back of your neck to pry your mouth off of him. His thick fingers gently press into your skin, and a moan threatens to escape from the back of your throat at the slight assert of dominance.
“So needy, aren’t you baby?”
You whimper when one of Gojo’s big fingers softly ghosts over your puffy- unattended- clit. He shushes you when you try to grind down and chase after his light touch. His touch gets a little heavier: his fingers draw purposeful circles around your pulsing bud, putting enough pressure on your clit to have warmth pooling in your tummy.
“Satoru,” you say, high-pitched and whiny when he suddenly draws his fingers away, halting the warmth that was steadily rising beneath your skin. He places his hands on your ass again, massaging your flesh with his smooth palms. His gaze settles back on the tv screen to resume watching the film like he hasn’t just left you high and dry.
“We still have a movie to watch, baby,” he innocently says. Briefly, his eyes- full of intent and promise- dart back to your face. He looks you over for a little bit, giving you a playful smile that’s dark around the corners. “I’ll fuck you after it’s over.”

31 Nights of Head Canons - Night 1
A/N: So pretty much everybody is doing Kinktober. While I can't really write smut, I still wanted to do something for the spoopy season. I decided literally today to do 31 head canons, one every day, and post them at night for everyone to enjoy when they can. I have a list of Halloween/Horror related questions to ask 19 of Pedro's characters. I hope use guys like them. Let me know what you think of the canons.
~
Night 1:
What are you afraid of? What do you not want to run into?
Dio
The demon he serves. Dio may have sold his soul to this entity, but that doesn't mean he isn't afraid of it. After all, it is better to be the right hand of the devil than to be in his path.
~
Omar
Being found out that he's fake. Omar never wanted to be a boxer. His father forced him, wanting to raise his son to be a "man's man", whatever that means. Afraid of his dad, he went through with it. After gaining attention for it, he became more afraid of being found out. The lash out from his father would not compare to the crushing loneliness and ridicule he would get from his so called "friends".
~
Zach
If he were still on the street, it would be serial killers and zombies. He has minimal defenses against either of them, so he would rather not deal with them. Now that he has a home, it would be burglers and repo men. He's just getting his life back. he doesn't want to lose it now.
~
Oberyn
Oberyn is just crazy enough to be willing to face anything. I mean, he was willing to take on Ser Gregor Clegane a.k.a. the Mountain. A giant man! He lived in a world with dragons! I don't think he's intimidated.
~
Marcus Pike
Freddy Krueger. The dream demon is something Marcus hates. But can you guess why? He hates him because Freddy isn't something he can really defend against. Yes, he has training with weapons and is an effective agent, but what if he's attacked in his sleep? He can't win there. Freddy can only be killed in the real world.
~
Max Phillips
At this point, Max doesn't believe there's anything out there that could take him on. He's already the undead. All he has to fear is a wooden stake to the heart, but who's crazy enough to try that on him? *Cough, cough*
~
Pero Tovar
With what happened at the Wall in China, is there anything that's going to top seeing and fighting a Tao Tie? If you can find one thing that would scare Pero more than that, I will be empressed.
~
Javier Peña
The CIA in its entirety. There isn't a ghost, ghoul, or monster that could top the gore he's seen in Columbia, but he'd rather take on any of them if means not having to deal with the CIA again.
~
Jack
I think Jack wants to run head long into danger. Especially if it means hunting down the guy who killed his wife. His life means nothing with her gone. He will take on anyone or anything.
~
Ezra
Ezra has met his fair share of unsavory characters, but if he could avoid something at any cost? It would probably be going back to that godforsaken moon. The Green is his nightmare given life. He's lived it. He doesn't want to do it again.
~
Dave
Dave is the monster you should be running from. He's the one your parents tell you about when you're going out at night. The one you should be weary of and never trust. but then why can't you walk away?
~
Frankie
Another one of Santi's ops. Seriously though, Cat doesn't care for Santi's schemes anymore. The only thing that would scare him more are the ghosts of those he killed coming to haunt him.
~
Max Lord
There's a lot of things that scare Max. Diana becoming man at him and then coming for him. Barbara coming to kill him. That blasted dream stone returning and ruining his life again. What scares him the most is his ex wife; her showing up to take Alistair away from him. That would destroy Max. Hopefully that never happens.
~
Marcus Moreno
Marcus is a superhero. He's seen a lot in his time as leader of the Heroics. He's even been kidnapped by aliens and survived. Nothing is going to shake him, except losing Missy.
~
Din
I would say the past scares Din quite a bit. Especially considering that there's a lot of new problems stemming from old wounds. However, now that Grogu has returned to him, I would say that the Empire scares him more. Luckily, avoiding them is already on the agenda. And there will always be a fear of losing his son again.
~
Nico
Poltergeists. Not the movie, mind you. The actual supernatural phenomenon. Nico's lived alone for longer than he cares to admit, and he's more than positive his last place was haunted. While he visibly seems unnerved, inside he's desperate to get away. Hence why he's looking for a new house. Unfortunately, this listing is a little too big... and echos too much.
~
Dieter
Dieter isn't afraid of anything supernatural. He doesn't believe in that stuff. If anything he's afraid of his stash running out. He can't deal with his life style without it. Though I suppose he could just quit instead.... Nah.
~
Javi Gutierrez
The twins from the Shining. While Javi can appreciate the artistry of the film, there's just something about the girls that just peaks his anxiety. The speaking in sync. The eerie standing at the end of the hallway. Javi has even beem offered to stay at the Stanley Hotel where the movie was made. He turned it down out of fear the girls would be there, though he would never admit that to anyone.
~
Joel
Joel is in the middle of the zombie apacolypse... I'll give you three guesses as to what he wants to avoid.

Poltergeists: They’re Not Ghosts Or Demons ffs
If anyone here has noticed the kind of content I occasionally crap out into this hellsite, it’s usually a fairly manic mishmash of mini-dissertations on random bullshit I’ve been studying since childhood. In light of the spoopy season upon us, I’m here to tell you from the mouth (read: keyboard) of someone that’s been part of that subset and culture for my entire life that Poltergeists are NOT demons or ghosts! They’re not even considered truly supernatural phenomena by occultists!
First of all, “Demonology” is the study of Western Occultism and doesn’t specifically entail the study of demons, but the general study and interaction with anything “unnatural” that isn’t distinctly “from Heaven”. That’s actually what Necromancy really is - it’s not raising the spirits of the dead or making zombies. It’s raising the spirits of the damned, including demons, to gain knowledge or power you need or desire. There is deeply rooted sexism when it comes to actual, historical/mythological necromancy, because while it was punishable by death for a woman to engage in necromancy, King motherfucking Solomon cracked out his Necromancy skills to make a King of Hell, Asmodeus, build the legendary Temple of Solomon for him.
So, for further notice, if you’re wanting to write a legit necromancy fantasy, it doesn’t have anything to do with zombies! It’s demons. Lots of demons. This is because in various Abrahamic scriptures, another human (magician/sorcerer are the more common masculine prefixes, witch/sorceress are feminine) can’t raise the dead with magic, because only “The Devil” or God is supposed to have that power. Necromancy was associated with “conjuring” (summoning) a demonic entity, usually in the name of learning something like mathematics or astronomy, or learning about the supernatural and afterlife. It wasn’t weird to hire a necromancer as a wealthy aristocrat to have him (yes, him, because lady necromancers were called witches and were executed a lot) summon a demon merely to ask if the spirit of a deceased friend or loved one is at rest.
That’s right. The demons your grandparents shrink in fright at are mostly just hardcore scientists and researchers with attitude issues, and always have been.
So, what about poltergeists? We know plenty of movies inspired by them, including the eponymous “Poltergeist” (1982), but did you know that they have nothing to do with a dead person or a paranormal entity? Poltergeists are considered to be psychokinetic phenomena exhibited by living people that are experiencing tremendous amounts of psychological stress, particularly during the teen years. Ever wonder why most of the good supernatural horror movies feature a teenage girl or young child as the epicenter of the evil and chaos? That would be why. Fuckin’ hormones, man.
We get the term “poltergeist” from the German portmanteau that translates literally in English to, “noisy ghost”. Not evil. Not malicious. Just... wtf?
So, how do identify poltergeist activity? I’ll tell you:
1) Is the activity at all intelligent in design, or does random shit just happen? If there’s no rhyme or reason evident for an event, and the event itself is more weird than terrifying - such as moving objects - that culminate into nothing but, “Well, that was freakish...” it’s probably poltergeist activity.
2) Is it happening at random times, day and night? Probably a poltergeist.
3) Is there any history of a traumatic incident or death in the location of the activity? If not and the activity is still doing what I would dub “weird shit”, then it’s probably a poltergeist.
4) Does the activity refuse to respond to requests or antagonism to start up when you’re investigating directly and then flare up when you’re not paying attention? Again, probably a poltergeist.
Poltergeists in the paranormal science community are gradually being viewed through a much more scientific and legitimate light as greater advances in knowledge of quantum mechanics in our universe are uncovered by physicists, and there are scads of scientific and mythological evidence suggesting that we humans are capable of some pretty intense shit that’s too outside of our realm of acceptability to really embrace. I could go on and on about how various elements of the natural state of the universe we live in contribute to our perception of the universe in surprising and unsurprising ways, but this is not about that.
My point is: “Poltergeist” is more of an uncontrollable superpower compared to possessions and hauntings. They’re basically like Jean Grey from X-Men: horrifically powerful and impossible to control. Unlike Jean Grey, however, it’s been noted that poltergeist activity usually goes into remission as the subject of the poltergeist ages, but that doesn’t always mean that the activity goes away for good. Poltergeists also don’t usually influence power over fire. In Jean Grey’s case, she would be more thought of as possessing a pyrogeist, since she tended to set a lot of shit on fire in the comics and movies. My dad had a pretty active poltergeist until the day he died that took my own training as a Bandrui and making friends with a couple of demons (don’t do it at home; I’m certifiably insane and that’s why we’re friends) to keep from scaring the shit out of me in my bedroom.

🍁 Autumn & Halloween Prompt List 🎃
It's about to get spoopy up in here. We wanted to do something special not only to celebrate everyone's favorite season but also to honor the amazing writers and creators on Tumblr.
Most of us are creators of some kind — whether that be writers, gifmakers, or artists — and this time of year is hard. We start running into fatigue + the scariest thing during the whole Halloween season: creator's block.
✨ Cue the prompt list ✨
This prompt list is split into three groups: dialogue, scenario, and NSFW prompts. Each section has 31 prompts which are sorted with more general autumn themes first and Halloween-specific prompts after that.
A HUGE HUGE thank you to Shawni (@austin-butlers-gf), Sage (@fangirlwithasweettooth), Kenzie (@fangirl-imagines), & Gabby (@dontbesussis) for helping to create this lovely list!
Feel free to reblog + use for whatever it is that you create and post here on Tumblr! Happy Halloween and enjoy 👻 ♥️
DIALOGUE

─────•~❉��❉~•─────
You’re running like you’ve never run before. One foot replaces the other faster than you can even think and you feel a pain from somewhere, but you can’t place it exactly. Your chest heaves and you feel panic spreading throughout your body. The darkness around you starts to cave in. There are no walls, but you feel them crushing down on you anyway. Although you try to push them back, they only come faster. The horrific, distorted face of someone you don’t recognize appears floating in the darkness, and your heart lurches as-
Suddenly, you’re awake, sweating and shaking a little in the bed. It takes a moment for you to return to reality and remember where you are and that you’re safe.
“Baby?” Elvis’ deep, smooth voice comes out raspier than usual. “Baby, what’s wrong?”
You curl your arms around your knees, and your husband leans up. The bed shifts under his weight as he scoots toward you and wraps his arms around your shoulders.
“What’s the matter, baby girl?” he asks again, rubbing your shoulder and tucking some loose hair behind your ear.
You look at him in the dark. His blue eyes peer tenderly back, his eyebrows knitted in concern. Although his hair is disheveled, he still looks as handsome as the day you married him. Something in the way he’s gazing so intently at you draws your tears out. You fall back into his arms and start to sob. The cold air in the bedroom freezes your tears as they trickle down your cheeks. His grip loosens and then retightens to bring you all the way into his lap, and you bury your face into his shoulder. His skin is warm and smooth, and you feel terribly guilty for wetting his beautiful chest with your ugly tears.
“Come ‘ere,” he whispers, rubbing your back. “Come ‘ere and let me hold ya. Everything’s gonna be aright. Shhh, it’s okay. Everything’s okay.”
You let your body go limp in his strong embrace, and you feel completely supported. The way he rubs your back and squeezes you just a little too tightly makes you feel like nothing in the world would dare try to hurt you. He presses a few kisses to your sweaty forehead. As you heave to a normal breath, Elvis leans back and moves your hair out of your face so he can see your eyes.
“You’re my bestest girl, you know that?”
“I thought your mama was your bestest girl,” you sniffle with a small smile.
Elvis smiles back, wipes a stray tear from your cheek, and then shakes his head.
“She’ll always be my first girl, but you became my bestest girl the day I married ya,” he says, and you smile so hard it hurts. “Now, tell me what’s goin on. D’ya have a nightmare?”
You nod.
“What about, baby girl?”
“I was trying to run away from something and it wasn’t working,” you say, feeling tears well up again. “I couldn’t see exactly what it was but I just know I was terrified of it. As I was running, the hallways started to get smaller and smaller like they were squeezing me to death.”
“Well that don’t sound like fun, baby. But hey, look,” he responds, taking your hand in his. He flips your palm so that it’s facing the ceiling and curls his own fingers over yours. “I’m here. I’ll always be here for ya. Ain’t nothing gonna hurt you while I’m here.”
He squeezes your fingers and smiles down at you. You glance up at him in the moonlight and gently touch his cheek. He leans into your hand, and you brush the lines around his smiling mouth with your thumb. You pull him toward you and press your lips to his. As you kiss him, his arm snakes around your back and pulls you against his chest. You wind your hands around his neck and back, spreading your fingers to absorb as much of his warmth as possible.
He pulls back for a moment to gaze into your eyes before kissing your cheek and your neck. He brings you into a big bear hug. Your legs reposition to hug his waist, and you throw your arms over his shoulders. As you squeeze out your stress, he peppers kisses all over your neck and shoulders.
You feel him kiss the top of the strap of your nightgown and then pause. You turn to look at him. He stares at the strap with an angry expression for a moment before quickly moving it out of the way, planting a kiss on your bare shoulder, and putting it back. He nods as if he’s pleased with the job he’s done. You throw your head back to laugh, but he takes the opportunity to assault your undefended neck with kisses. His breath tickles your skin, and you giggle, playfully trying to push him away. After a few moments, he stops, kisses your jaw sweetly, and meets your eyes.
“You feelin any better?” he asks, and you nod enthusiastically.
“Much. Thank you. I love you,” you respond in a whisper.

She happens to be passing through the living room when a knock on the door comes. She's suddenly very pleased to be the one who opens it since Elvis is standing on the other side. It's been a week or so since their little walk and they've managed to see each other a couple of times. Mostly, he would walk her home after work. Paranoid that someone would see her and tell her father, Bird hasn't let anything happen that would have been too scandalous. Elvis respects her wishes and she appreciates it.
“Elvis?”
“Hi baby, how ya doin’?” he asks, smiling and stepping inside the house.
She curls her fingers into her palms and then grabs him by the shirt sleeve.
“This a nice house ya got he-”
He cuts off when she harshly drags him into a corner of the room, behind a bookcase.
“Thank you, but I’d appreciate it if ya didn’t alert my daddy your presence,” she responds, glancing out from behind a stack of books to see if her father is anywhere near. When she swivels back around, she jumps back at how close Elvis is to her face.
“Why not, baby girl?”
His arms wind around her waist and start to pull her toward him. She sucks in a breath and clenches her jaw, trying to keep his hands off her.
“Because he’ll probably kill ya,” she responds, glancing around again. “He don't like greasers or singers. Or anyone who ain't a devout Christian.”
“Well good news for ya daddy, I am a devout Christian.”
She raises an eyebrow.
“Not nearly devout enough for my daddy. ”
“Well if we ain’t gonna have any fun in this house, let’s get outta here then,” he says, nuzzling his face into her neck. She stifles a giggle.
“Stop that! What would we even do?” she asks.
“We could go for a walk,” he says, kissing her jaw, “or look at the record store,” he kisses her neck, “I don’t care where we go as long as I’m with you.”
She finally manages to release him from her neck and smile.
“It’s too damn hot for all that,” she replies, feeling a streak of bold lust. “We could go down to the lake? That oughta cool us off.”
“Ain’t nothing in the world that could cool you off, mama.”
“Just go,” she says, flushing. She pushes him toward the door. “Before daddy sees you. Or worse, sees me with you.”

“I jus don’t know what to do bout it,” Gladys says, running a hand over her face. “They’re makin fun of my baby all over town. And probably all over the country, too.”
“I’m really sorry, Mrs. Presley,” Bird responds, taking a bowl of something warm from her fingers. “I can always go back home if this is a bad time.”
“Oh, don’t be silly, honey,” she replies in her thick southern drawl. “We love havin you over. You don’t know how nice it is to have another woman in this damn house.”
Bird smiles painfully as she watches Gladys reach for a beer.
A lot has happened since Elvis had broken Bird's heart and left her sobbing on the floor of her house in Louisiana. It was almost five months later when she received a call from Gladys Presley. She had been shocked to hear a familiar voice on the other end of the line. She’d called to ask if Bird wanted to come up to Memphis and move in with the family. One of their cooks had quit and Gladys couldn’t find anyone who cooked southern-style food the way she liked it. Bird knows she'd taken quite a liking to her. Whenever Elvis had brought her home for dinner, just a handful of times, Bird was always willing to help.
Anyway, she did always have a knack for cooking, especially those delicious southern-style comfort dishes. She had originally refused, but when Gladys called twice more and offered to pay Bird handsomely, it wasn’t really a conversation anymore. She and daddy were struggling after he turned to alcohol for comfort and wasn't working as much as usual. Bird had picked up an extra job at the diner in town while still working at the hayride. She'd been working herself to death, but with the Presley’s money she can help support herself and her father without having to break her back.
Plus, she’d offered.
Bird is always incredibly nervous about seeing Elvis, especially after everything that has happened. But she didn't know what else to do. It was too good of a deal for her. So, she'd packed up some of her belongings and moved up to Memphis, leaving daddy at home by himself.
Mr. and Mrs. Peachtree, the Presley’s neighbors, welcomed her into a small guest house in their backyard. Gladys had offered for her to stay at Graceland, but she knew she wouldn’t be able to bear it. Being so close to him and not being able to have him. It was all too painful, too regretful. And she knew Elvis wouldn’t want her there, anyway.
It really hasn’t been all that bad. The money is good, the amenities are nice, Mr. and Mrs. Peachtree are always warm and welcoming toward her. Gladys has been surprisingly like a surrogate mother in many ways. She’s been protective over her, frequently asking how Bird's getting on at the house and whether the Peachtrees are treating her right. She's even asked how bird's father is a time or two, even though Bird get the feeling Gladys doesn’t like him much. You can’t blame her. She’d even let Bird have a few sips of beer, despite the fact that she was still underage. That’s something her father would never allow her to do, even if you were of legal age.
“I just hope he’s doin aright,” Gladys continues. “That damn Colonel is always tellin him what to do.”
Bird keeps her mouth shut but raises her eyebrows in agreeance. Despite sympathizing with her, Bird doesn't feel like it’s her place to say anything about the family. Not to mention this entire conversation is still a sore spot since she's convinced that the Colonel is the reason for her breakup with Elvis.
“Oh lord they’re home! My poor baby!” Gladys shouts, glancing out the windows.
Speak of the devil, himself. Bird joins Gladys at the window, watching the familiar dark purple 1956 Cadillac Eldorado drive slowly up the path to the house. There has been a crowd outside for hours now, and the noise is driving her crazy.
The dinner isn’t even finished cooking yet, but Elvis and Mr. Presley would be bursting through the front door any minute now. They’re coming back from New York where Elvis had been on the Steve Allen show. Long story short, the performance was a disaster. He’d been put onstage in full-length tailcoats and forced to sing to a hound dog. An actual hound dog.
Bird watched at home with the Peachtrees, squeezing a pillow tightly. She'd felt especially awkward in recent days. She likes the Peachtrees very much, but they are made of old money and she knows they have mixed feelings about the Presleys. Mrs. Peachtree has been adamant that Elvis isn’t the type of boy young girls should be looking up to. And she used his “Hound Dog” performance as ammunition to prove her point. Bird bites her tongue whenever the Peachtrees begin to badmouth him. And she pretends not to know about all of the rude things the other neighbors whisper about the Presleys behind their backs.
Just as the car parks, Bird quietly dips back into the kitchen to help Alberta, the other cook, with the rest of the food. But mostly to avoid Elvis. She does that a lot nowadays, avoiding, and she doesn't even want to think about the first time he’d discovered her at the house. Apparently, Gladys had neglected to tell her son that his ex-sweetheart would be coming up to work in the house.

─────•~❉᯽❉~•─────
She’s folding an extra towel in the wings of the stage when a flash of pink silk catches her attention. She glances up just long enough to see a guitar and a pair of fancy black and white shoes. She shrugs, going back to finish her work and thinking nothing of it for the time being.
“He’s a young singer from Memphis, Tennessee,” the announcer’s voice booms around the building. “Give a warm hayride welcome to a Mr. Elvis Presley.”
Her head snaps up when she hears the name. Elvis?? She had gone to elementary school down in Mississippi with a boy named Elvis. It couldn’t possibly be the same boy…could it? She hurriedly finishes folding up the towels she’s working on and quietly sneaks behind the edge of the stage curtains. As she peers out at the tall young man standing at the microphone, she’s sure it can’t be him. The little boy she had known was blonde, skinny, and bony.
“It goes something like this…” the singer mumbles into the microphone. He continues to mutter a little bit of a song.
“Get a haircut, buttercup!” yells a man from the crowd.
Before she gets a chance to think again, he begins to sing. Like…really sing. His voice is strong and forceful, like nothing she’s ever heard before. She watches from the wings and can’t help but smile as he wiggles, dances, and moves around on the stage. His voice is incredible, deep and smooth. But the way his body moves, she has never seen anything like it before. Some girls in the crowd begin to holler, scream, and yelp. she bites her own lip and holds back a smile as she watches the silky pink fabric dance along his body.
Not before long, the entire crowd of women is leaning toward the stage and shrieking. As he reaches back into the crowd, some of the girls even pull at his clothes and the pink suit jacket lifts off his frame. As he stumbles back behind the curtains, a woman yells from the crowd. Bird peers around the curtain and catches a second’s glimpse of her: an older lady with dark hair. She knows this woman. She’s seen her before...
The sound of laughter near her catches Bird’s attention and her eyes land on the back of the singer’s frame as he walks away. Before she can stop herself, she speaks up.
“Elvis??” she asks, gripping the curtain tightly.
The tall figure pauses for a moment before a handsome face emerges from the shadows. She can’t help but smile. The moment she meets his sea blue eyes, the recognition spreads across his face. He lets out a breathy chuckle and smiles sweetly.
“It really is you…” she mumbles.
“Bird?? It can’t be…” he asks in a voice deeper than she expects. She releases her death grip on the curtain and reaches down to smooth her skirt.
He hands his guitar off to a bandmate and walks toward her. As he comes closer, she can smell him – a mix of sweat, musk, and something sweet like cinnamon. It’s almost intoxicating. She reaches out to steady herself on a table.
“What the hell are you doin’ up here?” he asks.
“Daddy got transferred up ‘ere, so we moved. I work 'ere,” she responds. “What are you doin up here? I almost didn’t recognize ya. You were blonde last I saw.”
“Yeah,” he replies, dropping his head to rub the back of his neck. A few strands of dark black hair fall over his forehead, and she has the urge to brush them away but she resists. “Well, how bout you, I mean, you’re all grown up now. Look at ya…”
She flushes as he gestures at her body. He leans on the wall near her, positioning his body diagonally. She takes a deep breath, quickly glancing at his flexing bicep. He tilts his head to look at her, and she catches his eyes tracing her figure up and down.
“You’d better get going, Bird,” one of her coworkers says as they pass by. “Your daddy won’t be happy if you get home late again.
“Oh damn,” she mutters, glaring through the cracked glass of her old wristwatch. “Well…I’d better start back. You 'member how daddy is.”
As she turns to reach for her sweater, his hand catches her wrist.

Red Bear’s Annual Skyhold Spooktacular Celebration
(This is a twitter thread adventure that I did for Twitter, but am reposting it here to save it for posterity, and for folks to enjoy.)
Happy All Hallows' Eve, friends of Thedas!
The moon is rising, the costumed guests are arriving, and the stars have come out to watch the spirits play. Welcome to Red Bear's Annual Skyhold Spooktacular Celebration Day
Come inside and enjoy the festivities!
(Come one and all, share your OCs’ costumes for this years’ special spooky day! Whether it is art, moodboards, photos of what they’d wear, moody screenarchery, prose writing descriptions, all is welcome! Share them here and let us all enjoy the creativity and festivities.)
Lace Harding is standing beside the stairs leading up to the entryway, dressed up in a replica of Cassandra’s Seeker attire and a black feathered domino mask over her face.
She checks your invitations and cheerfully welcomes you inside.
The faint sounds of laughter, glasses clinking, and the murmuring melody of music grows louder as you ascend the steps. Decorations lining the railings and hanging from the rafters.
When you pass through the sunburst doors, you are to be greeted by a warm, booming voice.
“My friend! You made it!” Red Bear proceeds to crush you in tight hug that lifts you off your feet, then quickly sets you back down and looks sheepish for his overexcitement. “Come in, come in! We have just started serving the food and refreshments!”
Off to your left, there is a desk with an open guestbook to sign your name in, and even leave a message for the host if you wish.
Dressed up as Grand Duke Reynaud, complete with festering poison wound, is Grim of Bull’s Chargers. You can tell by how talkative he is when serving drinks and taking drink orders.
*Grunts*
He hands you a tiny menu of drinks and desserts.
There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to choose from, along with some deliciously rich cupcakes and devilishly sweet cakes.
You can have a seat with your refreshments at one of the nearby tables.
There is also plenty of food cooked and set out upon the rows of tables lining the hall. From roasted vegetable platters, savory soup bisques, to minced meat pies. All prepared by the Spirit Healer himself and his kitchen staff helpers.
As you sit and eat, or drink, or rest and just take in the sights of the decorated hall, the bards entertain with a collection of jaunty thrilling and chilling seasonal songs. Please, relax and enjoy yourself before the costume event begins.
youtube
Some couples dance to the festive music, while others merge into clusters of animated silhouettes, gossiping and merrily chatting among themselves. Red Bear’s unmistakable belly laugh can be heard in the background.
youtube
With the moonlight streaming through the stained glass windows, the Qunari host clinks his glass to get the room's attention. It is time to share costumed looks! One by one, everyone has a chance to come up and introduce themselves and share their costume and inspiration.
Red Bear introduces himself as Lord Vampire Corram of Grand Forest Villa, Siren of the Hinterlands, Handyman of Redcliffe (but you know, in a spooky way), and a pretty good hobbyist whittler.
After everyone has a chance to share, the time comes for the final tally. Josie, in ornate phoenix gown and masque, hands over a card with a written name upon it. The bards all drum their hands on their lutes.
And the winner of this year's annual Spooktacular is...
You!
Everyone is welcome to retire to the Herald’s Rest to continue the night’s jubilations and celebrations, with even more dancing and refreshments.
Stay for the night, stay for the hour, stay as long as you desire! Thank you for attending this year’s Skyhold Spooktacular!
(Hope you enjoyed this silly little adventure thread. I just wanted to do something cute for friends and the community at my favorite time of year. We could all use some thrilling celebration and spoopy enjoyment. Be safe out there, have lots of fun! Happy Halloween!)

we’re just like kevin bacon!
prompt: for @bricksatanakinswindow ‘s halloween writing challenge! this was initially inspired by "mortal enemies accidentally showing up in matching costumes every fucking year" but once i started writing it kind of snowballed from there and i ended up with this lmao
ship: jj maybank x fem!reader
word count: 4.6k+ (i think this is the shortest thing i’ve ever written lol)
warnings n stuff: childhood enemies to lovers, swearing, mention of underage drinking, halloween shenanigans, makin' out, smut (not too explicit but i still think it's spicy enough to need an 18+ warning), jj and the reader being cute lil nerds and quoting movies back and forth, the author blatantly using some of her personal favorite movies/shows as inspiration for costumes, the author also making her opinions on ghostbusters clear (instead of the human trash can peter venkman, stan the adorable dork known as ray stantz for clear skin)
a/n: this was hella fun to write and i already have so many more halloween fic ideas bouncing around in my head (it's spoopy season, y'all!). title of this fic comes from guardians of the galaxy 😊
Of three things in life you were certain.
One, you loved Halloween more than any other holiday of the year; after all, you and your twin brother Mason were born just after one AM on October 31st so you could say a penchant for all things spooky was in your blood.
Two, Sarah Cameron was your best friend. Being neighbors your whole lives, the two of you were thick as thieves and spent almost every day together, much to the annoyance of both your brother and hers; as much as you loved Mason, sometimes you wished Sarah was your twin instead of him and you knew without question the blonde girl would trade Rafe for you in a heartbeat (with little to no guilt, in fact.).
And three, you absolutely hated JJ Maybank. You'd been at the top of each other's shit lists ever since you were both six years old, when he made fun of you for the stutter you'd had back then and you dumped a full milkshake over his head as payback, and even as time passed and you grew out of your stutter, your disdain for the blond pogue only grew stronger. He was infuriating, plain and simple, and the mere mention of his name made steam come out of your ears.
The boy was just good at being annoying and seemed to love pushing everyone's buttons, yours especially, and always found ways to get under your skin without fail every single time your paths crossed (which was way too often for your liking, but running in the same friend group made it hard to avoid each other). It became an unspoken thing, the great Y/L/N-Maybank feud, with both of you trying your hardest to piss the other off until one of your mutual friends or your brother broke it up and pulled you to opposite corners of the metaphorical ring to take a breather before the next round.
You'd never admit it but deep down you kind of liked it. You liked being at the center of his attention (granted, it was antagonistic in nature but it was attention all the same), his bright blue eyes following your every move whenever you were within his sights and you liked that you were in his thoughts even when you weren't around, a fact proven to you by the tiny notebook Kiara carried around in her pocket recording how many times he mentioned your name. Knowing you lived rent free in his mind brought you an embarrassingly high level of satisfaction that you'd absolutely deny feeling if anyone ever asked, just as you'd deny the fact that he lived rent free in your mind, too.
...At least for most of the year. Everyone, including JJ, knew that to you Halloween was a damn-near sacred time. He knew never to mess with you during the weeks leading up to the holiday and definitely never on the day itself, lest he want yet another milkshake dumped over his blond head. He knew that, the whole damn island knew he did and yet...somehow, some way, he managed to get your blood boiling every. single. year. And you, like a masochistic idiot, let him.
It all started when you were twelve.
You, Mason, and your friends were finally old enough to go to the annual youth party held on the sprawling lawn of the Island Club, an event you'd been looking forward to attending every Halloween since you were eight. Of course, you were excited for the dancing and games and food but the thing you couldn't wait the most for was the costume contest, a chance to show off your skills and prove to everyone on the island that Y/N Y/L/N was the undisputed queen of Halloween.
So what if your hopes were a little too high (considering you were only twelve and going up against kids ranging from your age to fifteen), you were still gonna give it your all; you spent weeks perfecting not only your costume but your brother's as well with your mom, helping her cut fabric and sew zippers, styling wigs and painting props until everything was perfect.
"Oh my God, Y/N!" Sarah, dressed as Cinderella, yelled from the passenger seat of her dad's SUV when they swung by to pick you up. "You look amazing!"
"So do you!" You said, slipping into the back seat in between a miserable-looking Rafe as Sarah Sanderson ("I lost a bet," he explained with a scowl) and Mason, holding your mini R2-D2 on your lap. Was it kind of cheesy, dressing up as the most iconic twins in movie history? Probably, but you really didn't care because Leia Organa was a total boss bitch and Mason was practically over the moon that he got to be his ultimate silver screen hero and swing around his very own lightsaber as Luke Skywalker.
"The Force is strong with you two." Ward joked, earning an eye roll from both of his children as he drove to the Island Club to drop you off. Rafe immediately disappeared into the crowd to meet up with Topper and Kelce and the three of you went off to find your own friends, skirting around the edge of the party toward the snack tables, also known as the most likely place for them to be.
You spotted Kiara first, looking like an actual princess in her Tiana costume and waved, smiling when she waved back and beckoned you over as she said something to Pope, dressed as Albert Einstein, that made him start laughing hysterically.
"What's so funny?" You asked, reaching between them to grab two handfuls of pretzels and immediately dropping one into your brother's outstretched palm, careful to keep the sleeve of your white dress away from the bright orange-iced cupcakes on the table.
The two of them exchanged a look that instantly made you realize something was Up™ but before either of them could answer, Mason asked around a mouthful of pretzels, "Where're Tweedledee and Tweedledum?"
"J, why didn't we think of that?" John B's voice came from somewhere over your shoulder and when you turned to face him, you nearly dropped both the droid cradled in the crook of your elbow and the snacks in your hand. Not because of John B and his hilarious Chewbacca costume but because of the fact that JJ Maybank, the one person you hated the most on the whole entire island, was dressed as Han freakin' Solo.
"Yikes." Someone muttered behind you -it sounded like Sarah but you weren't really sure- and Mason nearly choked on his pretzels as he tried and failed miserably to keep himself from laughing.
"You've gotta be kidding me." You huffed, rolling your eyes as JJ crossed his arms and glared in your direction, blaster hanging from the holster on his hip.
"Listen, Princess, I'm not too happy about this, either."
"Oh, shut up, you nerfherder."
"Who you calling-" Mason and John B cut in and pulled you both in opposite directions before either of you could turn it into a shouting match, your brother physically grabbing you around the waist and carrying you off while the latter caught the back of JJ's vest and dragged him away. Despite their best efforts to keep you apart, you ran into each other more times than you could count and spent a minute or two squabbling like cats and dogs each time until one of them intervened once again. It was childish, it was immature, and it was fun, even though you'd never, ever admit it. Ever.
You didn't win the costume contest that year in the way you'd imagined at all. Still, first place in the group category was a win in your book and it felt good, even if one of the members of your unintentional Star Wars posse was someone who tested every bit of patience you had. The four of you split the cash prize and you went home 25 bucks richer, stashing it away for next year's costume and pushing the thought of accidentally matching with your mortal enemy from your mind.
You had no idea this thing was only just beginning.
The next year, you let Sarah and Kiara convince you to match with them and the three of you rolled up to the party as the Pink Ladies -you as Rizzo, Sarah as Sandy, Kiara as Frenchy- only to run right into the boys, your brother included, dressed as the T-Birds. John B, perfectly in character as Danny, immediately whisked Sarah off to dance while Pope, the most adorably awkward Doody you'd ever seen, went to grab some snacks with Kiara, leaving you stuck with the bane of your existence as, of course, fucking Kenickie (Mason, as Sonny, dipped sometime before then without you noticing). The two of you spent the whole evening glaring at each other and hurling insults back and forth at breakneck speed, more in character than either of you'd ever want to acknowledge and for the second year in a row, you won first place in the group costume category.
At fourteen, you went as Princess Buttercup and JJ showed up as Westley, fake sword in hand as he followed you around all night like an annoying fly, sarcastically drawling "as you wish" every time you so much as glanced in his direction. Your brother, dressed as Inigo Montoya, nearly pissed himself laughing and you wanted to snatch both of their prop swords and shove them up their asses. You came in first again in the group costume contest and begrudgingly split the prize three ways.
At fifteen, you worked hard on a Dr. Ellie Sattler costume from Jurassic Park, he strolled in as a disheveled Dr. Alan Grant with mud splattered boots and tattered clothes, and you really regretted not taking the offer to be the Tai to Sarah's Cher and Kiara's Dionne. Once again, Mason laughed so hard his face turned red and you were tempted to grab the sword he was holding and beat him over the head with it, not just for laughing at you but also for the completely atrocious Jack Sparrow costume he wore. To your absolute horror, you and JJ won the contest in the duo category and you wanted to melt into the ground when they called you onto the makeshift stage to collect your reward.
When you were sixteen, you and your friends "graduated" to the party held for the older teens inside the club itself. With costume rules a little more lax than they were for the younger kids, you decided to go as (an only slightly sexy) Janine Melnitz, complete with a prop telephone you answered every so often with a loud "Ghostbusters, whaddya want?!" much to the embarrassment of Mason, who was once again dressed as Luke Skywalker, this time in the fatigues he wore while training on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back.
You strutted into the party in your heels and pencil skirt only to nearly fall flat on your face when you caught sight of JJ in a terrible black wig and glasses, proton pack strapped to his back and 'Spengler' printed on the front of his jumpsuit. Your brother winced when you all but screeched "Again?!" right into his ear and grabbed your elbow, dragging you over to an empty table and depositing you into an open chair.
"There's no way this is a coincidence anymore! He could've picked Venkman, with all the womanizing and lowkey being a creep and thinking he's God's gift to mankind? It would've been the perfect choice! He's not nearly adorable or dorky enough to be Stantz or sassy enough to be Winston-"
"Jesus, you have a lot of feelings about Ghostbusters," Mason muttered, rolling his eyes when you shot him a withering glare.
"Shut up! Listen to me, there's no way in hell Maybank randomly decided to be, out of alllll the 'Busters, Egon fuckin' Spengler, okay? He had to have somehow known I was coming as Janine and did it just to piss me off!"
Your brother heaved a deep, heavy sigh that made you want to smack him and fixed you with a deadpan stare. "Or, have you pulled your head out of your own ass long enough to think that maybe you're just becoming...predictable?"
You really did smack him then, hard on his exposed shoulder and he yelped, scowling as he rubbed at the red mark you left behind. "Ow! What the hell, bitch?!"
"Don't you dare call me predictable, you dickhead! I pride myself on my costumes being very unique and unexpected -you know, out of the box!"
"Hate to break it to you but they're not really out of the box if Maybank shows up in a matching one every single year." He said with an infuriating, shit-eating grin, patting your shoulder before straightening the plush Yoda strapped to his back. "I'm gonna go get some food, wanna come with?"
Still miffed at his comment, you shoved his arm away and glanced down at your lap, ignoring your brother's sassy "your loss" as he headed toward the snack tables. Not even a minute passed by before his empty seat was taken and you groaned when you looked up to see who it was, your eyes meeting a pair of bright blues behind tacky, oversized glasses.
"Hi, Janine."
"...Egon."
The two of you sat in silence after that, watching the dancing crowd under the flashing neon lights and sparkling disco ball until you saw him turn to face you out of the corner of your eye.
"Why Janine?"
"Huh?" You turned to face him, too, one eyebrow raised in a perfect arch as he gestured toward your costume.
"Why did you dress up as Janine, Y/L/N?"
"I've always liked her sassiness and 'I like to play racquetball.'" You offered a casual shrug of your shoulders and carefully stuck a finger under your wig to scratch an annoying itch above your ear. "Why'd you pick Egon, Maybank?"
"He's my favorite." He answered simply with his own shrug, shooting you a genuine, real smile that you, for who knows what reason, found yourself returning without a second thought. "Smart, hilarious -plus, 'I like to collect spores, mold, and fungus.'"
For the first time in your life, your eyes rolled out of amusement and not annoyance at something that JJ Maybank said and, to your complete surprise, it kind of felt...right. "Really? I'd have pegged you for a Venkman stan."
"Are you kidding? He's the worst!"
Never in your wildest dreams did you ever think you'd sit across from your hated enemy, not only having a civil -hell, downright enjoyable- conversation but actually smiling right along with him, laughing at his jokes and doing your best to ignore the sudden flutter in your stomach each time you caught sight of his slightly crooked teeth when he grinned. You didn't even notice when your brother returned with Kiara, dressed as Moana, at his side and two heaping plates of snacks in his hands until his chair scraped gratingly across the hardwood floor.
"Kie, are you seeing this? Pigs must be flying 'cause they're actually smiling at each other." Mason said, cackling as Kiara turned to squint out the window.
"Yeah, I think I see one or two soaring around out there." She giggled and sent a mischievous wink in your direction. With your face feeling like it was on fire, you flipped them both the bird and took off, disappearing into the crowd and leaving all your traitorous, confusing thoughts about JJ behind with the boy himself; it was Rafe's last party at the Club and he owed you a dance anyway, but even as your best friend's older brother, cute as hell in his Thor costume, playfully twirled you around the floor to the Ghostbusters theme song, you felt more than your partner's blue eyes on you.
To no one's surprise, you and JJ won the duo category for the second year in a row and when you joined him onstage to collect your prize and didn't feel like you'd rather die than be up there by his side, you suddenly realized you were only certain about two things in life instead of three.
At seventeen, you were confident you and JJ wouldn't be matching for once (after last year, though, you were kind of thinking it wouldn't be that bad of a thing). You'd gone cult classic for your costume, pulling inspiration from your mom's favorite move, 1999's The Mummy, and put together a screen-accurate Evelyn Carnahan in her iconic black dress, including a handmade Book of the Dead and matching key. You blackmailed Mason with pictures of him, drunk as a skunk and dressed in your Janine costume from the previous year, and got him to go as Jonathan, complete with a pith helmet and prop bottle of The Glenlivet.
But, as always, JJ managed to surprise you. You literally ran right into his chest and if it wasn't for his arms instantly wrapping tight around your waist, you would've bit it hard.
"Whoa, careful there," He said, one hand keeping you close while the other moved to help you hold the book in your arms. "'The Book of the Dead? Are you sure you wanna be messing around with this thing?'"
Of course he'd make the perfect Rick O'Connell, you thought as you playfully raised one eyebrow and curled your fingers around the strap of the gun holster draped over his shoulder. "'It's just a book. No harm ever came from reading a book.'"
Mason was a little too in character as well as he dramatically rolled his eyes and wandered off, muttering "puh-lease" under his breath and shooting Sarah a conspiratorial wink that you didn't see. The blonde girl glanced between the two of you -arms still around each other and identical smiles on your faces- and grinned. The party flew by in a blur of movie quotes, laughs, and more dances than you could count and by the time you made it home, 50 bucks in the pocket of your dress and another group costume win under your belt, you were almost positive you never actually hated JJ Maybank in the first place.
Now at eighteen, you pulled out all the stops for your last party at the Island Club. You'd spent the last few months slaving over your costume, sewing custom pieces, hand-crafting your prop, and spending way too much money on body makeup and a wig but when you saw the final product in the mirror, you knew it was all worth it. You were ready to slay the competition this year and take home first place for the final time.
Mason, indifferent as always about the contest but willing to do anything to keep those pictures from seeing the light of day, didn't protest one bit when you forced him into the matching costume you'd made for him -in typical Mason fashion, he liked that he didn't have to wear a shirt and could show off his muscles- and spent a few hours perfecting his makeup.
You felt on top of the world when you walked into the party that night as Gamora, a replica of her Godslayer sword in hand and skin painted a perfect shade of green, followed by your brother as Drax, already flexing for anyone and everyone looking his way. The rest of your friends came to win as well: John B and Sarah as Flynn Rider and Rapunzel, Kiara as Eleven, Pope as T'Challa, and, of course, JJ as Peter Quill, Baby Groot perched on his shoulder and twin blasters at his hips.
"Lookin' good, Gamora!" He called over the music, shimmying his way over to you with some dance moves that would impress Star-Lord himself.
"Flattery will get you nowhere, Quill." You replied in a sing-song voice, even as you took his outstretched hand and let him pull you into the crowd of bodies hopping up and down to some terrible EDM beat under the twirling disco ball.
"It got you out here with me, didn't it?"
You rolled your eyes and hooked the sword to your belt before stepping closer and draping your arms around his neck, twirling your painted fingers in his hair. "Just remember, 'I know who you are, Peter Quill. And I'm not some starry-eyed waif here to succumb to your pelvic sorcery.'"
You should've known you spoke too soon the second you saw the spark in JJ's eyes that all but screamed 'wanna bet?'
And that's how you found yourself in the middle of the single hottest make out session you'd ever had the pleasure of participating in an hour later: back pressed against the locked door of someone's deserted office, legs wrapped tight around his waist and his hands hooked under your ass, both your sword and his blasters abandoned on the floor at his feet, and he was either a sinfully good kisser or trying really, really hard to blow your mind.
"I'm not gonna end up green after this, am I?" He mumbled against your mouth before trailing his lips along your jaw and you breathed a laugh, tightening your grip on his hair.
"This is professional makeup, dumbass. It's gonna take more than some kissing to smudge it."
"I'm down for some smudging if you are."
You pulled him back for another kiss in response and gasped into his mouth when he walked across the room, one strong arm reaching out to sweep whatever was on the desk to the floor before setting you down on it.
"Confident, are we?"
JJ smirked at your breathless question and the way you hooked your ankles around the backs of his thighs to pull him closer. "So is that a yes to the smudging?"
"Just shut up and kiss me."
He did -very well, you might add- and you kissed him back, untangling your hands from his hair to slide them under his jacket instead; you helped him push it off his shoulders and it had barely hit the ground along with poor Baby Groot before your fingers were tugging his shirt from the waistband of his pants.
"Someone's impatient." He teased, leaning back just far enough to let you pull it over his head and toss it somewhere behind you.
"Someone doesn't know how to stop talking." You whispered your reply low in his ear and then trailed your lips down his neck, smiling in satisfaction at the tremble in his voice when you kissed the purple mark you'd left behind earlier.
"N-never was very good at that."
"'You should've learned.'"
"'I don't learn, it's one of my issues.'"
One of his hands gripped your wig, pulling your head back a little roughly -you'd have so been into that if it had been your real hair he pulled- and you winced at the way the bobby pins holding it it place tugged painfully at your roots. "Ow, not so hard!"
"Wait, what the fuck? I thought you were wearing a wig!"
"I am but it's still pinned to my actual hair!"
"Sorry, but how the hell was I supposed to know that?"
The sight of JJ's face slowly turning red made the butterflies in your stomach go haywire and so you just shook your head, mumbling "don't worry about it," before pressing your lips to his once again. He was gentler this time with the pulling and you dug your nails into his bare shoulders at the thrill of his mouth against the exposed column of your throat, leaning back further and further until you laid flat on the desk.
His fingers had just unbuttoned your pants when your phone started to ring from your pocket, blaring the Star Wars theme you had set as your twin's ringtone.
"Mason's timing is impeccable," JJ said sarcastically, chuckling as you clamped a palm over his mouth and answered the call.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Jesus, no need to be pissy!" Mason loudly replied over the applause crackling through the phone's speaker. "I just thought you'd like to know that we just won best group costume with Maybank. Again."
The blond winked at the mention of his last name and pulled your hand away from his mouth, pinning it to the desk beside you with one of his while the other started tugging your pants down over your hips.
"Oh, that's cool, Mase-" You inhaled sharply when his lips touched the edge of your underwear, so close to where you wanted him most but at the same time so far away, and your fingers held your phone in a white-knuckled grip. "But I-I'm kind of in the middle of doing someone -something!- right now."
"Smooth," JJ said, not even trying to be quiet as he released your pinned hand to finish pulling your boots off, along with your tight leather pants that he casually tossed aside. "And I knew you weren't green under these!"
Your laugh quickly turned into a gasp when his fingers hooked under your panties and pulled those off, too, and the touch of his tongue against the skin of your inner thigh sent white-hot lightning racing through your veins; the phone slipped from your grip, falling with a clunk onto the desk as your fingers tangled in his hair and he lifted one of your knees over his shoulder.
"Okay, I'm hanging up now! I already know you're getting laid but I don't need to hear it." Mason's loud grumble drifted up through the speaker and if you weren't so preoccupied with the boy between your thighs doing some downright wicked things to you with his mouth, you might've noticed that your brother didn't actually sound that grumpy before he ended the call and your phone's screen went dark, right as you lost control of your voice.
"Fuck me."
"Funny, I thought that's what I was doing?" You felt more than heard his response against you and a shiver ran down your spine when his bright blue eyes flicked up to met yours in the dim light of the office.
"You know what I meant, Maybank."
"Trust me, Y/L/N, I know. Question is: where do you want me?"
You tugged on his hair, grinning wolfishly at the way his eyes fluttered closed and a low moan rose from his throat. "Everywhere in this damn room, starting right here."
"I was hoping you’d say that.”
- Back at the party, Mason looked up and met Sarah's gaze, both of her eyebrows raised expectantly as she asked, "Well?"
He took his time slipping his phone back into his pocket before giving her a quick nod, grinning triumphantly when she immediately burst into gleeful giggles.
"Yes! I just knew they had a thing for each other! Mortal enemies, my ass."
"I think that was the very first time in my sister's life that she didn't give a shit about the contest." Mason said and reached over to snag a cookie from her plate, chuckling when she pushed his hand away from the chocolate chip ones and toward the peanut butter. "We couldn't have pulled this off without you. I mean, making sure they showed up in matching costumes every year? Genius, Sarah. Absolutely genius."
The blonde girl grabbed her own cookie with a wink. "Think they'll ever figure it out?"
Your brother just threw his head back and laughed. "I hope not! I wanna save that story for my best man speech at their wedding."

Embrace the Raven - A Halloween Whouffle Event - Part 2 of 5
Hi all–the Clara’s Diner Discord server is at it again, except this time it’s a bunch of spooky and spoopy prompts for this, the autumn season!
687 words; this one was actually kind of hard…? Weird, I know; it was very difficult to just not wholesale recycle a bit from Courage the Cowardly Dog and you’re welcome; I deliberately kept this super-short since the prior fill was so long and the next couple are threatening to be longer ones as well
Days 8-14: Shadow | Ancient Curse
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
The Doctor chewed idly on his forefinger as he looked at the stone slab before them. It was taking a while for the translation microbes to kick in this time around, and he was beginning to become concerned. Nothing was fitting in correctly, meaning this glyph was fuzzy and that was just scribbles, and it wasn’t looking promising.
“Anything yet?” Clara asked. She couldn’t see anything translated either, meaning it needed to take something a lot more long-lasting and powerful a translation program than normal.
“Not a thing,” he replied.
“Pretty close to thinking here that we might have just run into a language the TARDIS just doesn't know,” she shrugged. “Of course this would happen in such a romantic place.”
“Clara, this is a tomb.”
“I was being sarcastic.”
It was true—they were in the final resting place of some empress of… something… on some far-flung planet. The Doctor had said it, but Clara had forgotten, and it was giving her definite haunted vibes. She glanced around, seeing if there was any bit that the TARDIS was willing to take pity on them and translate anyhow, but no such deal. It was that way not only with the writing that looked like it should have been there, as well as the stuff that looked as though it was merely graffiti, bragging about how far deep the writer had traveled inside the tomb. None of it was very impressive, or elicited any sort of reaction at all, in Clara, so she was doomed to sit there, bored out of her mind until further notice. It wasn’t as though either of them had any chance at reading the glyphs, so she sat on the flagstone below her feet in an effort to get comfortable.
Before long, Clara had tuned the Doctor out, as it didn’t seem as though he was going anything much more than verbalizing the issue out in order to solve it. Sometimes this took hours, and so she decided to trace her pointer finger along some symbols carved into the wall next to her. As she did, the glyph began to glow in a pale blueish color, first gently, then brightly when she stopped mid-symbol.
“Uh… Doctor…?”
“Yes, Clara…?”
“I think you might want to look at this...”
In a moment he was by her side and observing the glowing glyph. He placed his finger on it and traced it backwards, allowing the symbol to grow dark.
“Is that what you did?”
“Yeah, just the other way,” she confirmed.
“Then it looks like we’re getting somewhere,” he grinned. “I knew I kept you around for a reason, Clara Oswald.”
“Is it because you don’t know what you’d do if you got your finger stuck in something?” she teased. He scowled at that.
“That too, but… you know what I mean,” he replied. After partially tracing the glyph back and forth, the Doctor completed the symbol, which made the carving glow brightly. The glow began to spread to all the other surrounding characters, which made him grin. “It’s like backlighting your keyboard, but for wall carvings.”
“Are you so sure about that?” she asked, pointing at one of the glowing glyphs. It was a soft green color, prompting her to raise an eyebrow. “Did the species that built this suffer from any forms of color blindness?”
“Only the women,” he noted. The Doctor touched the green symbol and it had a ripple effect, turning the surrounding symbols green as well. His face fell and alarms went off in Clara’s head.
“Doctor…? What did we just do…?”
“I think what we just did was activate something that was supposed to prevent the Empress’s retainers from coming in and taking her out of the tomb,” he posited. “The TARDIS has finally caught up, and it looks dicey.”
Clara looked at the original glyph she traced and watched it shimmer and wobble until it became words in English: beware all who enter here, or suffer the wrath of the Watchers.
“Uh, Doctor, can we start running now?”
He swallowed hard and grabbed her hand. “You read my mind!”

echo.
day 13 of the july writing challenge! i just had to give this omenous number a fitting tale. so read on for some spoopiness, i guess x
_____________
Vasil was near the top when he heard it. An echo.
There were no words in it, nor was it an animal call. It was hardly even a sound. More like a distant vibration, bouncing off of the rocks and carrying on into the hollow of the cave.
He frowned, making his sweaty forehead itch even more under the hard hat. There was nobody down here, save for him. Think of what the opposite for the word “hot spot” is, and this cave was that but tenfold. It was deemed too deep for novices and too shallow for seasoned cavers. Everyone else in his circle laughed out the possibility of coming along with him, and he bore that mockery with patience. It was not bad getting to be on your own, and if this takes him far away from the rut that work has become and the wreck left by his divorce, well then. Count him in.
As for the echo, he might have written it off as his imagination, had it not asserted itself again. It was too soft to be a sign of collapse, so it was definitely nothing to hurry him along to the exit, which lay just a few meters up. Nor was there a reason to go back for what, possibly, could be some defective bat not hitting those higher frequencies.
And yet, he slowly began the descent, working through already well-earned tiredness. Cave exploration gave him the sense of accomplishment like no other activity; he got to engage in the most natural ways of being human, be it climbing, navigating the dark, or hearing your own breathing as clear as a clock ticking. To top it off, nothing was sweeter than afterwards climbing into his truck and sleeping it all off, with muscles aching even more from resting where one is supposed to sit. Then taking to the vast road, listening to the radio, finding that one station that plays ABBA. Finally arriving home just in time to feed his cat after the house-sitter had left that same morning.
The thought of that fat ginger bastard made him want to leave sooner, except his feet already touched the ground. He was back in the stomach of the cave once more. Vasil headed where the echo seemed to be coming from, the exact same route he'd taken just an hour or so ago. It took some time but he eventually came upon a lakeview, with a crack overhead dripping light into it. One might even call it pretty, but not Vasil, not in this moment. For just a short while ago, it was not there.
''What the hell,” he said out loud.
''What...the...hell,” repeated the cave, as if savouring his words, tasting them in its mouth.
The cave liked the sound of his voice — there was subtle rasp to it, and surprise gave it a special ring, like just the right rhyme making poetry sing. Only loners ventured into the depths of this cave, not one of them spoke, not even once. Not words, at least. A head emerged from the murky waters, watching Vasil struggle with the map for answers.
None of his research suggested there could be a pool, and the guidebook he'd quickly pulled up was of no help either. When flipping through its pages, he gave a swift glance to the water, without registering anything in it. But once he looked back to the pages, his brain processed that there was something. The next time he brought back his gaze, it fixated on the head, bobbing in the pool. Staring intently with its own milky, white-out pupils.
The creature looked almost human, but had a lot of trouble getting there. Its ears were attached sloppily upside down. The hair at the top had the density of fur. There were bat wings tightened across what was supposed to be cheeks. The rest of the body was veiled by the impenetrable waters, and perhaps it would have been better for Vasil had it stayed that way. But the head glided across the water, closer and closer, until its neck started to show, and then — bony shoulders, so sharp, they were cutting through the skin. Vasil let out a yell, stumbling, trying to escape, to the upside, to the out.
The cave enjoyed ringing out his voice amid its walls. It reverberated deliciously, it made for the most wonderful echo.
It will sound it off many, many times again.

Hello? Something happening you didn’t expect?
Threshold?

This dude is a good actor. He’s playing the demented, crazed, power man well.
What’s the third option? There can’t only be two.
My heart is friggin dumb. Can you not??? I’m legitimately annoyed by how hard and fast it’s beating.
What’s that in your hand buddy?
Bud?
What, is it an honesty detector or something?
You can really tell this guy is tired of life and everything
Aaaaand they’re fighting
Girls girls, you’re both pretty. Can I go home now?
Oh no…
Sylvie, no, stop it.

HE DOESN’T WANT THE THRONE YOU DUMB DUMB
“I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want a throne. I just want… I just want you to be okay.”

Loki can’t catch a break. He just gets betrayed again and again.
