"Time and Again"

[megsiepoo]

Cult of the Lamb/Inscryption Crossover

Aka Hard-drive AU

The Lamb

The Lamb is a freelance software developer. They were hired by a mysterious organization called TOWW. They don't know anything about the organization besides the fact they pay well and they want a job done. The task? They are to investigate a floppy drive and hack into the code in order to discover any hidden secrets. It seems like an easy enough task until they discover the characters in-game are sentient and the things that are hidden on the disc might should stay that way.

Leshy

Leshy is the Scrybe of Beasts. A generally chaotic being, he likes to toy with the Lamb but mostly just wants them to play with him. He's very fond of games, however the Lamb learns that the game they are presented with is not the true game and there are other characters hidden within the cards. The Lamb beats Leshy in a game and manages to revert the game world back to its true state, revealing the other scrybes and unknowingly stepping closer to ending everything.

Heket

Heket is the Scrybe of Technology. She is a fearsome creature and is generally cruel and sarcastic, berating the Lamb as well as her fellow scrybes. Her cards are decent, not great not terrible, but the boss mechanic can present quite a challenge, especially if the Lamb has a powerful deck and is unable to defeat her before their cards change sides.

Kallamar

Kallamar is the Scrybe of Magic and is one of if not the most challenging bosses the Lamb faces. His decks are very rng based, moreso than with the other scrybes, which means it can take several attempts to defeat him and frequently leaves the Lamb frustrated anytime they have to deal with him. He's a coward and often warns the Lamb to close the game and go no further, begging them to turn back before they destroy everything.

Shamura

Shamura is the Scrybe of the Dead. A charismatic and cheerful being, they like to give riddles and have the Lamb perform puzzles in addition to the primary gameplay. They are one of the Lamb's favorite scrybes to visit, not just because they have the best cards, but they're also just very fun to be around and tend to give great advice. They can seem a bit flighty though, and while nice, they are not to be trifled with, making for an extremely challenging boss fight. They have the gift of prophecy, though the Lamb doesn't learn that till much later, and is working towards a hidden agenda that not even the other scrybes know about.

Narinder aka The Old Data

The Old Data is some code hidden deep within the game files. This is what TOWW has hired the Lamb to uncover. By converting the game back to its original format, the Lamb has made it easier for The Old Data to come through and influence the world, signs of his presence appearing in hidden corners of the map. If all of the scrybes are defeated, the game will break and The Old Data will become free, leading to disastrous consequences.

The Witnesses

This is a singular being that appears in a different form depending on which part of the map you're in, matching the scrybe that rules the area. They are a neutral being, incredibly aware of both the real world and the dangers of The Old Data, but understand how fickle the Lamb as a player is, offering warnings but not stopping them as they proceed.

Focalor

A minor npc the Lamb encounters in Shamura's domain, he was once a real world being just like the Lamb before dying and being reincarnated as an NPC within the game. While his code limits him and his abilities to interact within the game, he is still sentient. He was a developer at TOWW and originally discovered what was hidden within the game. He decided to alter the game into the format the Lamb originally sees, binding the scrybes onto playing cards and leaving Leshy in charge of things since he was the least likely to protest and cause problems. Though he didn't like Focalor's plan, he went along with it since he genuinely liked Focalor and really just likes having fun. Focalor also threatened to alter the game without getting Leshy's opinion on design and mechanics so might as well go along with it. He was sad that Focalor died but is glad that he's in the game. Shamura has a soft spot for Focalor, finding him charming albeit foolish, and Heket just likes making fun of him.

Dean Winchester x Black! Hunter! Reader

Reader’s mother is a hunter who is friends with John, she often hung around Sam and Dean when they were growing up. John would watch her sometimes when her mother was going to get lucky if they were together. She’s basically his girlfriend but they’ve never talked about or acknowledge their feelings (its kinda toxic lol). Reader is two years younger then Dean.

༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺

(This is my first try at a border thing, please don't get on me for how shit it is 😭😭😭)

Since the moment he met her, she was his safe place. Like a baseball player sliding into home, seeing her was like hearing an umpire call it. She never expected anything from him, nothing heavy but companionship. Dean could relax, without the weight of his family on him for once. Still, it never lasted.

She would have to leave with her mom first, or John would pack him up with Sam and whisk them away. The weight would slam back onto his shoulders the minute he was used to being free of it. The older they got, the less they saw one another. The less they saw one another, the more Dean got used to that weight, and couldn't even imagine living without it. Still, every time he saw her, the weight was gone.

Then a new weight settled over Dean's heart, one that made his heart pound and his ears warm. A weight he didn't even mind. One that would only go away when he was without her, only to occasionally return when she graced his thoughts. Yet, there's never enough time for the two to do anything about the weight over his chest. Enough time to do anything besides relish in their shared silence before its time to return to chaos, family dysfunction and monsters. But every now and again, they find some solace in one another. Every now and again, he gets some apple pie while she enjoys a cigarette and Dean feels that warm weight on his heavy heart.

I hope everyone enjoys this! It's my second series and I don't know why I love the idea of Dean having a sorta girlfriend. Like I know he wouldn't have time for her really but just the idea of him having somewhere he could return too with someone that wasn't John or Sam. Anyways, this is a series I've been working on along with two more, so I wouldn't overwhelm myself during school.

But It's No Longer You (Chapter 1)

Summary: Hakkai has been kidnapped by a hag. Astarion and Halsin learn more about their supposedly fearless leader, including how to care for him when he is given an impossible task.

Set between Acts 2 and 3.

M!Tav x Astarion x Halsin

Rating: Mature (may turn to Explicit in later chapters)

CW: Imprisonment, shackles, starvation, physical harm, panic attacks, angst, hurt/comfort, general whump

Word Count: 5104

TL;Dr this is a Tav whump fic, because there's not enough of those. This was based on a couple of comic pages I drew last December as a test, and then kind of evolved into "Let's explore Hakkai's complicated feelings and his relationship with his patron. Also let's torture him." It's part of his personal quest, but there was no way I was going to be able to fit this into my game novelization fic lol

Hakkai is an Archfey/Great Old One Warlock / Wild Magic sorcerer! You can see his profile and art I've commissioned on his toyhou.se page!

(the actual comic pages will be posted along with the chapter, which is chapter 4 iirc 👀)

Read on AO3

Snippet below:

Astarion is alone in his tent when he awakens from his trance, and the tadpole in his skull itches.

He and Hakkai share Astarion's tent, a development partially born out of Hakkai's hoarding tendencies, and partially out of the establishment of their boundaries. Astarion often comes out of his trance with Hakkai sprawled out, his arms wrapped around him, but on the rare occasion, Hakkai is awake earlier than he is, and is off making preparations for the day, or getting in an early morning sparring match with Lae'zel, or gossiping with Shadowheart while he does her hair, or smoking with Halsin.

Normally, the lack of his presence would not bother him–the warlock is prone to wandering, always looking for something that needs doing, or someone that needs saving–but something about the way the tadpole wiggles against the flesh of his brain, combined with the chill that runs down his spine and settles heavily in his gut, bothers him.

He leaves the tent, his eyes scanning the clearing where they have made camp for the night. Hakkai's weapons are still resting next to his own tent, along with his cape and hat; it is likely he never left camp. He always takes a weapon with him if he leaves, even for a moment.

Astarion paces around the perimeter of the camp. The itch worsens, dread settling in his stomach as well, churning until he thinks he might retch if he is not mindful. But why? He is not worried. Hakkai can handle himself.

He repeats the lie until he can almost believe it, if only to quell the nerves building inside of him.

It was a silly story from his childhood, a story he heard as a young boy on a family vacation. It was about werewolves and how they could turn back if someone who loved them, someone who trusted them, someone without any fear, called them by name.

The more Carson thought about the story, the more he wondered if that was what was happening. He had heard the story in Greece, was it possible it was an evolved version of a story an Ancient told? Had they seen something similar happen?

A h-heartfelt reunion..?

Bonus

[monstermonger]

I recently bought an art book on Caspar David Friedrich, whose emotional work stuck with me since I first saw it in a museum years ago. Over the course of a few weeks, I read about his life and at the same time did studies/interpretations of many pieces. It was a really enjoyable and fulfilling project; here's a good lot of them together :)

I was happy to see many people enjoyed Friedrich's work+my interpretations while posting them individually. It took way too long, but I FINALLY set up a print shop for some of these + some other pieces for those who expressed interest. Thank you so much!
