TW: Blood/Injury, Implied Death

_______________________________________________

With you

Lil one-shot I guess...??

_______________________________________________

After the dust cleared, it was dead silent. The air was thick with moisture from the dark clouds looming above them all. Someone, probably Raphael, yelled out something Two didn't quite process, his ears still ringing as his vision slowly cleared.

A faint blue glow flickered in the near distance, not too far from where Two was slumped on the ground. More muffled shouts rang out as Two attempted to collect himself, staggering to his feet and trudging over to the source of-

No.

Just the image alone was enough to bring Two collapsing back to his knees. Stupid, he thought.

"H-hey..." One's weak voice just barely got through to Two, snapping him right out of his thoughts.

He stared down at the dimming blue glow, watching it flicker and fade in and out. How the hell are you still here, breathing?

His thoughts became flooded in his head, even more so as he felt his arms cradle his brother's near-lifeless body.

"Did we win?"

Two felt his jaw clench at One's question, feeling frighteningly close to grinding his teeth until they were flat.

Did we win?

The question echoed in Two’s head, as if that would better help him process this moment. In any other instance, he would have deflected and scoffed at such an empty, meaningless question. Did it matter? he thought as he titled his head up, looking around briefly at the wasteland that surrounded them. It was over, that much was apparent.

"Yes,” he huffed, looking down at his brother in his arms as he continued, “Now, shut it and save your strength. Your heart-"

"I know," One croaked out in between a few sputtering breaths, interrupting Two in more ways than one. Two tried to ignore the cast-off of blood coming from his brother's mouth, despising the sickening feeling settling in his stomach as it hit his chin. One smiled weakly up at his brother, his eyes dull and unfocused.

How dare you, Two thought to himself.

His eyes flickered from One's exposed heart, bleeding out and hardly beating, and back to his brother’s face. His brother looked beaten, bloody...broken. It wasn't a look he saw from him often, if at all. It was that damn smile that he watched waver as One's heart beat softer and softer. What cruel irony, Two couldn't help but think, a metaphorical expression brought to life by his stupid, thoughtless, idiotic brother.

Two could still fix this. Even as he held his brother tighter against his own plastron and felt his shirt get soaked by the horrid mix of blood and empyrean; he thought to himself how he'd be the one to fix this.

There was no other choice left.

“Good…” One let out the softest of chuckles, “…we…we can s-start over.”

Something in Two’s own chest faltered, even just briefly. It was enough to shut out the feeling of One’s pathetic coughs and wheezes against him. He watched how One's eyes dulled further, his gaze wandering away from Two's face.

Starting over? That wasn’t ever an option, not one that Two had ever weighed in his mind. He wasn’t sure if that was even an option now. After everything he had done, everything he sacrificed, worked for…his brother still wanted to burn it, bury everything down and out of Two’s reach. One wanted this win, he wanted the impossible.

“Impossible…” Two muttered under his breath.

He heard yet another faint chuckle. And then the dense silence that followed.

Dee Reincarnation AU Part 1

Current | Part 2

---

Lore: She didn't let Gale come when we went into the vaults and read the Annals of Karsus, so when she couldn't stop him from pursuing the crown, Gale died as soon as he picked up the pieces from the water. (Actually happened in my game)

And I always believed she would never forgive herself for that. She'd carry that regret and grief with her for the rest of her life.

wano spoilers

feeling some kind of emotional about rayleigh and roger flashbacks in wano, with smol shanks and buggy. and later oden and toki and their kids :'(

rayleigh has so much patience for them lmao

just few of my favorite panels:

(their captain is an idiot; a shared sentiment by whoever's captain wears the strawhat, probably)

(this is so cute and sad especially knowing this playfulness and love from roger never reached ace ;-; sorry)

"reminds me of the old days." - i wonder if rayleigh means by this shanks or buggy (or both? im not that far yet, if we know more of their backstories, but they were already very young on the roger's ship, so it would make sense if they found one of them as a baby and basically were raising him together ;-; *cries again*)

no really, these flashbacks said rogerray with kids rights, and rayleigh was the only one with a parenting braincell

and this last thing reminds me how often it's one of the strawhats (cough. zoro) reading luffy the news, mostly about their new bounties

smth smth captain and his first mate

and then this angst.... with the goodbyes, and rayleigh possibly keeping roger's pirate hat after he left.

these flashbacks were so emotional! so good and informative how roger's pirates worked, how oden went with them and their journey to the places we've seen luffy and strawhats travel from beginning of one piece - skypiea and the poneglyph text that oden wrote there for roger. water 7 and meeting young franky!, fishman island and roger and oden hearing that voice but rayleigh not hearing it. that was all so interesting.

it was both so fun and joyful, but also sad and devastating, what it must have been to part in the end, for the rest of the crew (and rayleigh especially.)

Would we mayhapse get another round of the Dew fights with someone and they have to very roughly make up like that SwissDew one I'm sure we all love deeply (I know I do)

Ofc dear anon, also I’m so so very happy you enjoyed my Swissdew series, I regard that one so very deeply in my heart. I hope you enjoy this one!

Mist finally confronts dew after his transition.

Warnings for hurt no comfort, implied but not described character death/tragic event, implied but not described torture/traumatic events, mist blames aether and omega for dew and deltas botched transitions

-

“So you really went through with it”

Dew barely registers the sound of her walking outside. The light from the kitchen brightens the space behind him as mist slides open the door. He can’t help but wince seeing her shadow darken his space on the porch.

“Yup”

The cold air whips around them, bringing goosebumps to mists skin while dew sits in his chair unphased, a pile of ashes and old newspapers lay beside him. The air smells like dead leaves tinged with the smoke coming from dew burning pieces of paper at his fingertips. Something that would be comforting on any other night makes her stomach turn. His usual smell of aloe and chamomile long since singed into a sickly petrol that invaded her senses. Mist hadn’t seen him since his transition until now, dew purposely avoiding her to avoid this very interaction.

“I’m sure aethers real pleased with his work this time” mist bites. An attempt to antagonize him, force him to finally talk to her. She doesn’t bother to sit down, only chooses to stand behind dew and wonders if he will even spare her a glance. The wind scatters his pile of ashes, sending them into the yard as dew puts out the flame on his finger.

“Don’t bring aether into this”

“Why shouldn’t I? You know what happened to delta-“

“Delta wasn’t aethers fault mist”

Her throat closes hearing her own name come from his lips. Something she hadn’t heard in weeks and she honestly didn’t know if she would ever hear it again. Because of a botched transition or dew practically disowning her she didn’t know. But a searing ice cold chill ran down her spine. A small part of her brain begged him to just look at her.

“It wasn’t but it was the same situation. If omega of all ghouls can fuck up did you really expect me to trust aether?”

Dew grabs another newspaper and turns it into ash as his flame only grows hotter.

“I told you to stop fucking mentioning him”

“And why should I? What if something happened” it’s all mist can do to not raise her voice. She tries to focus on the sky, count the stars instead of wondering what dew even looks like under his hood. She wonders if it’s even her dewdrop under there. She’s scared of the answer.

“Aether loves me. He wouldn’t do anything to hurt me” more ash dances around the deck, a line of minuscule destruction in favor of lighting the entire deck up while dew attempts to control his new magic.

“Do you think we didn't love delta? He wasn’t some failed experiment like you seem to think he was” mist rubs her face with her sleeve, catching a stray tear that was forming as the cold air invaded her skin

“I never said that”

“Besides, did it not hurt? Did aether not hurt you when he fucking scarred over your gills? Did it not hurt when he forced the fire magic through your veins? Did it not burn? Do you honestly think-“

“What the fuck is your point mist?” Dew stands up to face her.

She can’t help her reaction. A gasp covered by her hands as she stares at what used to be her water ghoul. The gills along his neck had scarred over hastily, red and wrinkled irritated skin stretched over them irregularly. The veins in his hands had turned an ashy grey color, no doubt a side effect of the searing fire ghoul powers that now coursed through them. Dew quickly covers his hands with the sleeves of his sweatshirt, looking away from mists gaze.

“My point is I could hear you screaming in the infirmary dew.” A tear falls down her face as she fixates on the irregular skin around his neck

“I was fine”

“I stayed there every night until omega told me you were ok. Don’t tell me you were fine when I had to listen to you go through that” her fists clench at her side. Dew still won’t look her in the eye.

“You didn’t have to stay. That’s your fault”

Dew makes the mistake of finally looking at mist. A tear runs down her cheek as he takes in her own state. Dark bags under her eyes as she wraps one of dews discarded jackets around herself. The glance doesn’t last for more than a second or two before dew sits back down again. It’s not a sight he wants to bare, he doesn’t want to believe that mist has torn herself to shreds because of him.

There’s no response that makes sense for her to say. A sick feeling in her stomach after weeks of fighting with him to be told it’s her fault for caring. And maybe it was her fault for spending multiple sleepless nights in the infirmary, for standing at dews door multiple times a day hoping he would answer when she knocked, hell even for not being able to take off the jacket she stole from him months ago.

“I thought you were going to die dew”

The words burn in her throat. A reality she hasn’t yet faced but hits her like a bag of concrete.

He stands up once again, gaze fixed to the ground as he pushes past her to open the door and walk inside.

Sorry lol for Emmet month #4, Memories, I had to do the angst route

Emmet longs for the return of his brother by his side. He can never forget.

[ghost-bxrd]

If you had to pick, do you like angst or fluff more? :0

Generally I tend to read something that has both. I need an angsty start and fluffy ending lol ✨

But if I had to pick… I mean it definitely depends on how you define angst, but if it’s not too hardcore I’d probably go with angst. Otherwise— fluff.

I’m too soft for the dark stuff. TwT

[thedeafprophet]

I do sometimes just like. Think about the fact that Jamie isn't actually an orphan. Their mother (and I guess their father but yknow) is still very much alive, theres just... absolutely know way either would ever know what happened to the other

They both wonder still, sometimes. In various ways

[ralphy-succulent11]

My brain did this I'm so sorry

Ajax headcannons cause I can (forgive me):

-Greek mythology says something along the line of male gorgon can't exist sooo...trans!ajax.

-ajax defo has two mams, one gorgon and either a second gorgon mam or mabey either normie or siren

-ajax loves all reptiles and (thanks to eugene) bees. Hates wasps tho, they kill bees and aren't very useful.

-strangely innocent, knows about top and bottom tho

-did drugs once with a friend, ended up throwing up as soon as he toon it tho so...never again

-wishes gorgons were called the slithers and not stoners since gives wrong impression

-fell hard for Eugene and Enid...but ajax and Enid ended on good terms after a few months of dating.

-hates his snakes sometimes and unfortunately s/lf h//ms (If u know u know) by c//ting them off...luckily has only done that three times, only six sneks were lost.

-has random scale patches everywhere and he sheds like a snek does, it's kinda painful ngl

-wishes he had normal hair like Eugene since Eugene's hair is super super fluffy!!!

-scared to go out alone since gorgon attacks (normies attacking gorgons) are getting more frequent in the US...(why did brain do such thing idk)

-ajax has greek, Italian and Belgium roots in his family

-his snakes look like dark pastel green pythons and have cute puppy mouths

-ajax isn't venomous cause his snakes aren't but he does have backwards facing canines and pre-molars (the teeth just behind the canines)

Hope you enjoyed what the 'tism brought up today

Hiii just wanted to drop by and say i love Arjun sm

*offers you a small, shiny coin*

May we have some Arjun fun facts if you have time :0??

*accepts the coin* Aww thank you, Vasya! Glad you love our beloved Captain 🥹

And oh, sure! Dropping some Arjun fun facts down below! (Keep in mind some are angsty so you're warned)

Arjun has been in a couple of covert operations by himself, as he likes to work more in solitude.

The name "Arjun" means "lustrous, shiny white" and was one of the Pandava brothers from Mahabharata with a huge skill in archery. His son was named after "Abhinanyu", the son of Arjuna.

Arjun married Kavya after graduating from the IMA (Indian Military Academy) and planned to join the Para Special Forces of the Indian Army.

His favorite dish is "shrikhand", like Kavya as well since they both love sweet treats!

Arjun is about to be a Major.. just not yet. Maybe very soon 👀

After losing Lakshya, Arjun went into a somber state for a few weeks. Though, Lakshya gave him a chance to live, at some point he felt it was worthless when he didn't save his best friend along as well.

Arjun sometimes sees a little Lakshya in Aditya. The personality, the hairstyle, and the appearance triggers his memories, the reason why he is more strict yet protective for Aditya (can't lose him too *sniff*)

He also has a fountain pen of Lakshya, that he retrieved after his death. Lakshya used the pen to write poems in his diary, since he loved writing them. He believed the pen had some life that brought living into his poems. But, when Arjun wanted to use it again to write something in his diary, the pen's ink finished, as if life diminished in it fully, like Lakshya.

"Please... Don't leave me yet..."

[fluffs-palace]

—–-○◇ Arcana Angst HC ◇○-–—

Muriel's MC developing an age related memory disorder

Its really sad for me when i read it so you have been warned.

—–-○◇♡◇○-–—

They live out their lives together peacefully— happily. Maybe they have a family. A few little cubs running around. They get to see their kids grow up and find love just the way they had. Create their own families. They'd have given so many pets good homes. Maybe gone through a few familiars. The two of them grow old together, full of memories. Full of love.

But with age some things start to slip MC's mind. They don't remember where they put that one trinket or that one thing had broken a week ago. Bigger things start slipping away too. They don't remember losing their familiar. They don't remember their grandchildrens names. Muriel watches as they forget it all. He watches as MC forgets their life together.

Until they eventually forgets him too.

It was always bound to happen, wasnt it?

More delta stuff, for more info on delta pls check out this post and this post

Pebble can’t handle what’s happened to his friend.

Warnings for angst, mentions of death, small amount of body horror

I made myself sad as usual, hope you all enjoy <3

-

Pebble has a hard time with change

He has a hard time seeing delta after his element transition. The light gone from his eyes and his cheeks more hollow and gray than usual. A sickly figure of his former self.

Even after delta and omega reassure pebble that delta will be fine, it’s not something he can stand to witness. The sight of him making pebble feel ill, something uncanny in his appearance.

It’s no longer his delta.

Even as he watches the stage from behind his drum set, deltas movements are clunky and unnatural. The way his fingers glide across his guitar seem forced in a way that isn’t voluntary like he’s fighting against himself to keep the notes correct and on time.

He sees omega spend a lot of time with him alone, their voices getting quieter when they think someone can hear them. Pebble catches bits and pieces through doorways and standing in the shadows nearby, careful to not alert them that he’s there.

“It was necessary delta”

“But there’s something wrong, omega you don’t un-“

“You’ll be fine. I know things that can heal you, we need you as my replacement there’s not many other options right now”

“please just look at my arm, this isn’t- isn’t natural” deltas voice wavers as he pulls up his sleeve, bits of flesh on his forearm missing to show the gray bone underneath. Pebble can’t help but gasp at the sight.

“Come with me back to the infirmary, pull your sleeve down” omega grabs deltas hand, briskly walking away with him in tow.

Pebble stays hidden for longer than is needed. More to process what he saw than anything else. His mouth goes dry as his stomach turns with the brief memory of his friend's skin physically decaying and pulling away from his bones. He wants to cry, run after them and demand to know what’s going on because the situation doesn’t make sense to him. He doesn’t understand why delta is even allowed to be left alone in his state let alone be on stage. He doesn’t understand why no one has helped him yet.

The confrontation with omega is more than he wanted it to be. Overcome with emotions and a strange sense of grief he can’t push back down his throat.

“Why can’t you fucking *fix him* that’s your job isn’t it? You’re going to-“

“Pebble stop-“ omega tries to reason

“No! You’re going to watch your bandmate decay in front of you and just go about your day? You can live with yourself knowing delta is practically dying and you won’t save him?” Pebble practically yells as tears stream down his cheeks. His words are harsh and cut like razor blades through omegas usually calm demeanor. The look of guilt and anger on omegas face only adds fuel to pebbles fire, he knows that omega knows something’s wrong. He wants the reaction. He wants *something* to justify how he feels.

“I’m trying I promise, it’s not as simple as we thought it would be”

“Not as simple as you thought? You’re the reason he’s like this. You let him do that to himself and you didn’t stop him” pebbles voice has a wail to it like he’s trying to reason with himself as to why his friend is a shell of who he once was.

“Pebble they wouldn’t let me! I was ordered to let him. I was ordered to keep an eye on him and not interfere because we needed a replacement, I cant-“

“You can’t or you won’t?”

“Pebble there’s no way to fix him.” Omegas voice cracks. A realization they both understood but didn’t want to accept.

“What?” Pebble hiccups

“I don’t know what he did when he forced the quintessence into himself. I’ve tried to help him but we don’t have many options, his element is rejecting him”

A static numb feeling bubbles in pebbles chest as he mulls over the words in his head. His knees buckle beneath him as he favors staring at the ground instead of having to look omega in the eyes any longer. He doesn’t flinch when omega drops to embrace him, or when omega attempts to wipe the tears from his eyes that won’t stop even though he doesn’t think he can feel anything at all right now.

“What’s going to happen to him?” Pebble finally speaks after a couple minutes of silence.

“We don’t know”

" The Foot Clan Chaos "

TW: Child Abuse, Gaslighting / Manipulation, Neglect, Torture, and Graphic Writing.

(( Ya guys thought you could escape the angst and sadness? You were wrong. There's more. ))

-- While in the Foot Clan, Codee was only taught to speak Japanese and JSL. This was purposefully done, to make Codee have a harder time communicating with other members and confuse him when others are speaking in English.

-- The Foot Clan knew who Codee was the "daughter" of and would often beat him because of it. Practically using Codee as someone to pay the price of the Hamato Clan. It was taught to Codee as a form of punishment for doing something wrong, so anytime Codee would try to eat, sleep, talk, or even just be in someone's sight he would be hurt in some way. If he complained or even showed someone his wounds he would be hurt more. After a while Codee began to avoid these behaviors and thought it was normal, this is why he acted cautious around Big Mama for the first few years.

-- The first time Codee activated his mystic/ninpo was around three years old. A few minutes later he was injected with anesthesia and forced into having the sealing spell he has. This was put into place so Codee couldn't fight back, because the Foot Clan knew Codee was physically weak.

-- In the Foot Clan Codee was taught to ALWAYS keep every part of him covered by clothing. His arms, his legs, his head, his feet, anything. Codee was told it was to show respect (( though it was actually used as a way to keep any major injuries hidden )) Being as young as he was, Codee went with it. He thought of the head Ninja as his father figure, someone who wanted the best for him.
