Writing Game: Decision Tree chapter 6 (final!)

>> Funny place for signposts, he thought. They looked very out of place, but these were no earthly objects. They each had lettering that glowed faintly. Past… Present… and, fallen and partially obscured, Future. << ~ (quote from chapter 6)

Aziraphale Falls.

But Hell is in serious disarray, and as he goes looking for answers, which is equivalent to looking for Crowley… help could come from an unexpected quarter.

This story was created by playing a Collaboration Game of Ping Pong Writing 🏓🏓, where two authors write chapters alternately, picking up the thread where the other left off. It’s a bit like improv theatre, and the story develops as we go.

This match of our writing game is now final! Check out how it ends!

There will probably be other matches in the future, and maybe YOU can play one of them? Take a look at these three beginnings of new matches I’ve already prepared, maybe one of them makes you want to write the next chapter?

Like I get why human-Bill post canon redemption fics for Billford are common because it's fun to put Bill in that situation where he doesn't know whats going on and its a way to 'break' Bill into not being a huge asshole through learning empathy BUT I feel like also a big part of that is also people being COWARDS and not leaning into the monsterfuckery of Ford falling in love and getting it on freaky style with a triangle LIKE HE ALREADY DID.

A Quick Break

They were supposed to be training. That went out the window about 30 minutes in, when they took a "break", devolving into just giving up on training and chatting.

They were sitting around the school bus when Aiden got bored and announced he was going for snacks. Taylor went along with him seeing as she was also kinda bored. Logan was going to stay in the bus, but Ashlyn gave him a pleading look and he went with them.

So now Tyler, Ben, and Ashlyn sat around the bus, Tyler and Ben discussing something random (Ben talking through notes app) while an obviously tense Ashlyn fiddled with her bracelet. That was until she spoke up.

"... can you guys promise not to freak out when- if I die?"

They stared at her in confusion before Tyler finally spoke. "Ashlyn what the hell? Of course we're going to freak out if you die? And that's such a random question? What the fuck even prompted that question?"

Ashlyn shook her hands to stop them from asking any more after seeing Ben start to type. "Let me explain- if I die, even if they won't necessarily care, the group is going to need a leader. If I die, I want you two to step up and lead the group. You two are some of the strongest in our little group, and I think your strength combined with the bonds you have with some of the others will make you the best candidates to lead if I die."

'Ok, SLOW DOWN' Ben's text to speech voice chimed in. '1, why are you so worried about dying? Sure, we're in a death realm every night, but none of us have croaked yet, and you're clearly strong, so why do you think you're going to die?' Tyler nods along, waiting for Ben to finish. 'And 2, what's this about the others not caring if you died?'

"Yeah, even if we didn't care about you, Taylor and Logan are both heart throbs and would definitely be upset if you died!" Tyler was uncharacteristically concerned for someone outside of his family.

"Calm down, calm down, let me explain. I'm not worried about dying, we just live in a death realm as you said, and if I die, the group will need a leader." Ashlyn rubs her forehead, this interaction not going as smoothly as she expected.

Ben and Tyler were staring at her. 'You've been thinking about death and the only thing you're worried about is the group needing a leader?'

"That's not the only thing- whatever this isn't what's important right now! Promise me that if I die, no matter how gruesome my death is, you won't freak out! The others will need a leader, and I need you two to be those leaders! Promise me!"

Ben and Tyler were once again staring at her, but for a different reason than before, seeing as this was one of the only bursts of emotions she's had around them.

After a few seconds, the robotic voice was activated. 'If it's that important to you, I promise to lead the others if you die.'

"Me too, I guess…"

Ashlyn sighed, nodding, when Tyler spoke up again. "But seriously, what was that about the others not caring if you died?"

Ashlyn glared at him. "That's not important right now."

'and the when in your first ask?'

Ashlyn groaned. "It was just a slip up!"

"You aren't planning anything stupid, are you?"

Ashlyn's head snapped up. "Wha- no! Why would I plan my death when I need to lead the others? As much as I trust you two to lead the group, I'm not dying just yet."

Tyler and Ben were about to argue when Taylor, Aiden, and Logan walked back in, carrying bags of snacks. "What's this about death?" Aiden asked with a curious grin, tilting his head.

Ashlyn sighed. "Nothing. And why did you guys bring so many snacks? We're just taking a break!"

Logan piped up. "Sorry Ashlyn, I tried to control them, but they couldn't make a decision on what they wanted, so they just grabbed everything…"

Ben and Tyler finally stopped staring at Ashlyn, and it wasn't brought up again, but they did glance at Ashlyn throughout the rest of the "break."

They never finished that training.

qimir discourse is great bc neither haters nor lovers seem to understand that he’s the villain

[yingren]

my reply speed has been awful as of late because i'm terribly busy preparing the perfect valentines date ( this is a lie i don't have a valentine i just don't have a valid excuse for my brain acting like it's constipated ) but maybe i will go to your inboxes to stir up trouble

[stephofromcabin12]

On one hand its great that I now have the ability to somehow juggle hyperfixations

Unfortunately I am really bad at juggling it turns out

the creator gives the best fanfic ideas to their sleepiest warriors

[disformer]

Swindle is a fantastic character archetype who’s engaging in just about every continuity. A low-down dirty no-good rotten cheating stealing worm is fun to read, write and watch, which makes it all the more baffling when people get him so, so wrong in fics

[suguwu]

people who can concentrate on one wip at a time you are so fascinating to me and i am so jealous

[exaflux]

Thonking I'm gonna have to make a tag for my own Batman designs/AU like all the cool kids seem to do

Brain is cooking too many ideas...

[campy-mccampface]

new fic!

[narrators-journal]

Ya girl is kinda between strong fandom interests. Which, apparently means I start simping for any smooth-talking, pretty-eyed villain with good vibes.

That being said, uhhhhhh Kurt? From Dread weight? 😳😳😳 The baba yaga from dread weight??
