#So forgot to post this on Monday

Snippet for Chapter 4 part 1 of Before Snow Falls.

“Izuku?” The boy’s breathing was erratic, throat growing tighter by the second as his gaze darted around. A broad striped chest was all he could see.  

“Izuku! Are you alright?” The voice asked again, clearer this time, and the boy shot his gaze upwards towards the person’s face. Red eyes gazed down at him, crinkled around the edges in worry and Izuku’s heart slowed slightly at the familiar face.  

“Oh Izuku, did you have a nightmare?” The voice cooed gently, a large hand curling a piece of green hair behind Izuku’s ear.  

Izuku’s breaths settled slightly, subconsciously leaning into the warm palm, he pressed a hand to his stomach, practicing his deep breaths. He nodded numbly, closing his eyes, and Hisashi tutted.  

“Do you want to talk to me about it?” he asked gently and Izuku almost relented, biting his tongue and opening his eyes.  

“I’m alright,” He gave Hisashi the best convincing smile he could, backing away from him. ‘R-really, I’m feeling a lot better now.” Izuku added at the concerned look in his father's gaze. Izuku waved his hands in what he hoped were placating gestures.  

Hisashi rubbed a hand across his eyes, yawning. “Are you sure? I can always make you some tea?” He offered and Izuku shook his head insistently, “T-there's no need, I’ll be fine. I’m a-actually gonna head back to bed now so you're fine.” He assured, walking backwards in the direction of his bedroom door. And Hisashi nodded with a sleepy smile. “If you’re sure.”  

Izuku nodded again, hand grasping the doorknob and pulling the door open.  

“Izuku…” Hisashi’s voice stopped him, one foot in his room while the other still planted in the hallway. The boy turned, staring at his father’s back as he poured water into the kettle.  

“I love you…” Hisashi added, head slightly tilted towards Izuku’s direction. The boy blanched for a moment, a sudden surge of emotion crashing into his chest. All night he felt like a full cup, teetering on an unstable table, tipping on the edge of spilling over. His bottom lip wobbled slightly, as he nodded vigorously. Clearing his throat, he let out a choked out “You too,” before slamming his bedroom door.

it's one of those 2 am wip wednesdays

alright so this will be for i think what will be the 2nd one (unless the junora gets done first) for the series not-so-much one nigh stands cuz the first one (firstprince) was posted monday - this series is gonna get it's own wed and sun banners which are really just redos of the banner i'm plannin to use for all the

and thanks ever so much for the tag already, i was not the one having to start this off (yay!) @thinkof-england 💚💚💚

so Liam/Pez words and tags under cut cuz smutty and well the tagging is shite still

Liam falls back onto the bed when Percy guides him to it, the sheets beneath him feel absolutely decadent, maybe even better than the ones at Alex and Henry’s that he knows Henry’s friend picked out for them. Liam is luxuriating in the feel of the sheets against the skin he has bared, when Percy climbs onto the bed and leans over him. Percy’s mouth latches onto his nipple and he arches his back into the feel. Percy kisses his way up Liam’s chest and finds the spot at the base of his throat that always drives him mad, it’s a combination of ticklish and erotic that never fails to send shivers down his spine. “Oh fuck,” falls from his lips as he tries to bring Percy’s mouth back to his. Unfortunately, Percy has other plans, and he proceeds to nibble and suck his way across Liams clavicle, up the side of his neck until he finds the spot just behind his ear that makes him melt. Somehow this man is working his body, finding all his weaknesses as if he has an instruction manual. Liam finally gets Percy’s mouth back on his and his he remembers why he agreed to join him here after the club. This man can kiss better than any he’s ever kissed, it’s almost as if his lips are a drug that he can’t get enough of. The taste of the gloss that was on his lips is long gone, and his bare lips, are better than any dessert he’s ever had, even better than the tres leches cake Alex made the other day, the one that turned out just like Alex’s abuelas always did when she would visit and feed it to them and practically every neighbor kid. Liam glides his hands down the side of Percy’s body, realizing he somehow is still fully clothed, while Liam is down to very few clothes. He slides his hands under Percy’s shirt and slides it up to pull it over his head. The feel of his skin on Liam’s as he settles onto his chest to kiss him again is heavenly. The kisses continue, and Liam’s lips are so bitten he knows they will be still swollen in the morning, but he can’t find himself to regret any of this in the moment.

and no-pressure tagging like everyone so here goes:

Life Tracker updated for Episode 7! This one is much quicker than Episode 6 on account of not being on holiday at the time, even though there were two thirds more deaths this time. Previous posts: Session 6, Session 5, Session 4. Also Session 8 (finale) post!

As usual, close ups and commentary below the cut. I’ve also added another graph for the average time of each team, which will also be below the cut.

There was so much carnage! 45 whole deaths in a single session! Not all deaths were awarded time during the session, but Scott’s video advised that it would be added by next session, so I have taken the liberty to add all the time as I see fit, hence why Scott is back to 7.5 hours. I haven’t seen every episode yet (in fact, other than Scott, I’ve only seen those that have perma-died), so I’m not sure if anyone else’s time is a mismatch, but if so I’m happy to explain where I’m getting my time additions and subtractions from!

Now for some close ups.

First, there was enough chaos that I decided to take a close up of Session 6 and 7 together so we can properly appreciate it:

And a close up of Session 7 by itself:

So many people lost major time, so it’s interesting to see Scott’s uptick of time at the end - he ended on only 30 minutes less than he would have been if he hadn’t died at all this session. Pearl didn’t die at all, and got the kill credit for Martyn blowing himself up in a trap, so she actually ended the session 30 minutes better than she started it. Grian also did very well for himself - he killed and died so many times, but somehow ended on the exact time he would have been on if he had experienced a peaceful deathless session.

BigB, Cleo, and Martyn all ended the session 1 hour poorer than they started, and Bdubs and Scar ended 1.5 hours below where they would have been. Nosy Neighbours are thus doing super well, with Mean Gills and Clockers not too far behind, in terms of maintaining position from the start of the session.

TIES had an awful time this session, with Impulse and Tango both losing a net 2 hours, and Etho and Skizz losing a net 2.5 hours - and obviously Skizz entirely died.

Joel possibly had the worst time, losing a net 3.5 hours this session - though it didn’t help that 5 of his 7 deaths were all caused by the one person. Technically Jimmy didn’t do too badly, given he only lost a net 1.5 hours... but given that he was out of the series only an hour into the session, and also the first out entirely... it really didn’t go well for him either

I also find it interesting the sheer number of vertical lines this graph, the ones representing a death immediately followed by a kill or vice versa. I would love to figure out a way to show only one line at a time on the graph, so we can more easily see someone’s journey, but I haven’t had time to look into it yet.

Now onto the graph of the average times per team.

This one is super interesting to me, especially TIES’s line - they had the lowest average life right from the start, but somehow by Session 4, through Session 5, and for most of Session 6, they were the team with the highest average time, and then it quite literally went downhill from there. The only thing saving them from being last now is the fact that the Bad Boys are down to only a single living player, and even then Grian is doing far better than most of TIES.

It’s also interesting to me how Mean Gills had a significant time uptick at the end of both Session 6 and Session 7 (the first due to Martyn and the second due to Scott). Scott’s time was so high that it kept Mean Gills’ average time as yellow for all of Session 6 despite Martyn being red for most of it... and Martyn then got enough kills to keep it there. Mean Gills is also the only team in the entire graph to anywhere gain such consistent significant time.

These averages also coincide with the comments I made above about the time offset difference for each player from the start to end of the session. Mean Gills are doing well, but they’ve been doing well for so long that I’m sure most players are aware that they need to be a target. Nosy Neighbours are also doing well but I feel like they’ve flown under the radar, and are not a significant target right now.

Here is a close up of this graph with Sessions 1-4:

And the close up for Session 5-7:

And the Session 7 only close up:

I kept the dead players in the teams’ averages, since I think it is a better reflection of the teams’ strength as a whole, but I also created a version that excluded dead players. In those screenshots you can really see Bad Boys’ and TIES’ time jumping up at a death, instead of falling as it did here.

Here are the alternate averages graph:

And close ups:

This makes Bad Boys look a lot better, because Grian does have a lot of time... but he is also alone. And there is definitely strength in numbers. Two players at an hour and a half each can fend off an attacker more easily than a single player at three hours can... unless nerves and panic get to them, as we definitely saw this session.

Wow and I almost forgot to include the raw data for this session!

The first hour of the session:

The second hour of the session:

There is just so much death! Look at all the box outlines!! I could barely fit this data on two screens on the zoom I was on, and I did not want to zoom out further.

I also obviously have data for the averages, but it was too far away from the column with the times on it that I wasn’t sure if it would still be useful on its own? Let me know if you want to see it!

This has once again been fascinating to see, and I cannot wait to see how Session 8 will go. Will it be the last session? Will they go until everyone is dead? Will they somehow have enough people with enough time to get to Session 9? Will Mean Gills be the final two and get to play fun relaxing games like Scott was suggesting? 

Only time will tell.

gardin pretending to be surprised at the sight of urus and rakiel immediately clocking it as acting ahdjdjsk?? damien being like 'everyone around me is weird'.. as if he isn't also weird lolol-

on a completely different note, rakiel not realizing something is deeply wrong until he notices he's not heading to the audience chamber is just- *incomprehensible noises*

augh the shock and fear in rakiel's expression and the flashback to him seeing his father in the hospital kills me,, OTL
