#So no; she wouldn't be allowed to go anywhere near the ruins or anything less he is there to watch her or such

[fastfists]

There are many reasons to be wary of this echidna lady. She's constantly studying the old scriptures near the great shrine. What could she be looking for?

"I weary o' most other 'echidnas', call it learnin' from ah past mistake."

It had taught him to be cautious about meeting another of his kind. Having at to learn that the hard way, which upset him even to this day BUT least he learned not to let his excitement blind him. Yes, it wasn't easy being the only one at times but at the same time...

"...as for doin' any studyin' on m'island, 'ighly doubtful. I wouldn't let someone I'm weary o' wonder 'ere wit'out m'knowlegde 'r bein' under m'watch."

For the femme!wwx creep!jfm: Jiang Fengmian doesn’t take things well, and ultimately does try to get into the Cloud Recesses. He didn’t realize, however, that wwx had convinced the elders to allow her to strengthen the wards, meaning there is a backlash against anyone seeking to do harm.

Dealer’s choice on whether jfm dies or becomes a eunuch. Either way, there’s some pretty interesting fallout.

Oh my gosh JFM ending up a eunuch is a great ending. And it might just be that I'm really tired, but the first thing that came to my mind was that 'my dick fell off' vine lmao.

-

Her wedding to Lan Wangji would be tomorrow. She had been told to get plenty of rest because her preparations for the day would begin at dawn, but she knew sleep wouldn't come easy. The Jiang family had arrived today. As happy as she was to see her siblings and even Madam Yu, the sight of Jiang Fengmian had chilled her.

She knew he was still unhappy with what she had done and how her actions had ruined whatever plans he had. He kept up a good face for everyone, but she could see how hard it was for him to not glare at Lan Wangji. She hoped no one else had noticed it.

She was grateful that Lan Wangji didn't leave her side the entire day. He had promised her that he would never leave her alone with Jiang Fengmian. Sadly, the Lan sect had insisted on them living separately until their wedding so Lan Wangji had to leave her alone eventually.

That was when Jiang Fengmian saw his chance.

"A-Xian, you don't have to go through want this farce of a marriage if you don't want to," Jiang Fengmian insisted. He was holding her wrists so tight that it hurt. She hoped he didn't leave bruises because she didn't think the sleeves of her wedding robes would hide them. "I will take you back home to Lotus Pier and you will never have to see that Lan boy again. I know he forced himself upon you! I don't think I can bare it if he traps you into a marriage too."

"Uncle," she soothed him. She needed to stall until someone found them. Someone should be coming soon. None of the Lan trusted her to be alone for long after after the second time she was caught sneaking out of the Jingshi. "Please don't torture yourself with those ideas. Lan Zhan never forced me into anything. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that you would do that for me, but it's not needed. I'm happy to be marrying Lan Zhan."

"You don't need to lie to me A-Xian!" Jiang Fengmian insisted. He jerked her wrists, pulling her closer to him. Too close to be deemed anywhere near appropriate. "It's alright. Everything will be alright. Just come back home with me and everything will be forgiven."

"Sect leader Jiang," a voice called out. One of the Lan sect elders, a woman named Lan Xinyi who had been giving Wei Wuxian a crash course on the Lan sects marriage traditions, approached them looking less then pleased. Jiang Fengmian let go of her wrists and she quickly took a step back, eager for distance. "The hour grows late and Wei Wuxian has much to do tomorrow. She needs as much rest as possible. Please return to your guest house."

"Of course honored elder," Jiang Fengmian agreed with an easy smile. "I was just telling my ward how much she will be missed and that she is always welcome to visit."

Lan Xinyi hummed at him, thoroughly unconvinced. She was quick to walk Wei Wuxian back to the small guest house she had been staying in during wedding preparations. "Best to lock your door and windows tonight," she told Wei Wuxian. "I will be by with the others first thing on the morning."

Wei Wuxian had spent the walk planning which barrier to put over her house. "This one thanks you, honored elder."

Lan Xinyi hurmphed before turning and walking away with her head high and nose in the air.

Wei Wuxian spent the next hour placing the small barrier around her guest house. Once she had double checked, tested, triple checked, and then tested the barrier twice more, she went to her bed to toss and turn until she fell into a light sleep. It was almost two hours later when she woke to the sounds of someone trying to break the barriers with force.

In an instant she was wide awake. Her heart hammered and she couldn't bring herself to get up. All she could do was lay paralyzed in her bed, praying that the barriers held and did what she had designed them for.

After just a few more seconds that felt like hours, the barriers lashed out and she heard a sharp cry from outside. They had held. Thank god they had held.

Jiang Fengmian tried to break them thrice more and each time left her heart hammering inside her throat, terrified that this time he would succeed.

On the fourth attempt when the barriers lashed out, Jiang Fengmian let out a loud scream that was followed by a colorful string of curses. He must have realized that his yelling would draw the attention of the Lan sects night patrol, because there was no fifth attempt.

In the morning, Lan Xinyi and Yu Ziyuan watched the maids fix Wei Wuxian's hair like hawks watching mice. Neither of the women would accept something less then perfect.

"There was a pool of dried blood not far from Wei Wuxian's front door this morning," Lan Xinyi said to Yu Ziyuan casually. Wei Wuxian was distracted by Jiang Yanli.

"Really now, how strange," Yu Ziyuan replied. "On an unrelated note, I fear my husband will be unable to attend the wedding. He injured himself quite awful and my maids had to take him home."

"How unfortunate. Please send him my well wishes for a quick recovery."

Lies

Pairing: MoriartyxReader

Warnings: Cheating, death

A/N: This is an AU. A god and goddess AU to be specific, so... I hope you like it. Also, this was done as a prompt request, so there’s some...odd. Terminology. (Chloroform is something gods have in this, and it isn’t like our chloroform so yeah)

Ps, I’m sorry I haven’t been updating, I got a new phone and I can’t get back onto this account so I can only use it when my old phone is charged. Which is never.

He slipped out of the bed, doing his best to keep quiet. Carefully, he picked up the vial, and a small square of cloth, a small pit growing in his stomach. He hated to do this, but it was the only way. His eyes snapped up to his sleeping bride as she awoke.

"James... what're you doing..?" Her eyes narrowed on the vial, causing her to sit up, "Why exactly do you need chloroform at 2am?" She snapped, eyes suddenly alight. She knew exactly why, and it made her burn.

"You aren't seriously going to see one of those flawed abhorable things—they're pathetic!" She snapped, suddenly deciding to get fully out of bed. His jaw locked, a searing anger coming to his chest.

"Go back to sleep, Kitty." He snapped. His position was the reason they'd been marred in the first place. They both knew she'd rather be over screwing Sherlock or his bride. Most of the Gods remained fairly loyal to their partners, even if they acutely despised them. James wasn't like the rest—he hated it. He didn't want to live a life, even an immortal one, like this. Now, perhaps a few years ago, he would've thought a lot different than that. He wouldn't have cared about who his partner was—he was king. Of the heavens and earth, he ruled all.

"Go back to bed." He ordered, not missing a beat before leaving. He tucked the vial into his robes, and slipped down to the mortal world, changing his appearance slightly. He shifted his deep brown eyes to a softer green, and lengthened his dark hair to match the common man among the streets, and slipped through unnoticed. He even went as far as to change his facial features, make them softer and less opposing. Less attractive, in most people's opinion, but his lover had never seemed to care that he was considered "average" when it came to looks, maybe a tad above. After all, this was love, and that's all they needed.

You were pacing, unable to still yourself from your pure excitement. You heard a soft tapping at your door. You grinned, immediately swinging it open, and throwing your arm's around Jim's neck. His arms fit tightly around you, holding you as close as he possibly could.

"I love you, Jim." You mumbled into his neck, letting yourself slip into the warmth of his arms.

"I love you, too, Darling." He whispered back, a natural smile slipping to his face. He glided you both into the room, shutting the door softly. You pulled him into a kiss, his hands falling to your waist, a thrum going through him. Slowly, you guided him towards the bed, letting him fall slightly on top of you, both of you giggling in between passionate kisses.

Unbeknownst to either of you, James wasn't the only who thought it best to pay a visit. It wasn't long into your little rendezvous that there was another knock, this one much firmer than Jim's had been. It was startling to James, considering he'd left your father unconscious in his own room.

"I know you're in there." Kitty's voice penetrated the door, striking fear into Jim with just a few simple words.

"Who's that?" You whispered, watching as panic spread across him. The door suddenly flew off its hinges, the goddess entering without another warning. Her eyes were ablaze, already, but the flames doubled as her eyes came to rest on you in her husband's arms. He suddenly shifted so you were behind him, a scowl adorning his features as he glared at her. She could see right through his disguise, through his utter and complete lies.

"You left me for a mortal?" She snapped, jaw clenching. This had been where he was every night? Seeing a woman that wouldn't last even a fraction of his vast memory?!

Your brow drew together, confusion adorning your features. The woman looked familiar, but you couldn't quite place it. No-you could! She looked like the statues outside the temple... Gisara. Queen of the Gods...?

"J-Jim... what's going on here, I-I'm confused..." You managed weakly out, fingers gripping tighter on his shoulder. Still, he said nothing.

"Go on, tell the mortal who you are. Pull the wool back from her clueless eyes." His eyes flicked back to you as you began to go numb. What was she talking about? Why was she saying these things-? Jim would never lie to you... right?

That's when he began shifting back into his regular form, eyes growing dark once more and hair slicking back. Another face you recognized, and one you'd recognize anywhere; Evmes. King of the Gods, and, fittingly, the God of Wisdom and Chaos. You could feel your knees growing weak, voice no longer seeming to work.

"Leave here, Kitty." He demanded. It snapped into focus for you—why a Goddess had come to your home. His wife... you were beginning to feel faint. Gisara scoffed, approaching him.

"You think she'll stand to want you after what you've done? Her life is forever ruined because of your betrayal. She'll be shunned." She said plainly, not an ounce of sympathy in her voice.

"You promised her a marriage, did you not? No one would mare a god and a girl. You've played her pathetic little heart." He'd been a fool to promise you such a thing, even he knew that, but he hadn't expected the question. And, at the time, it had seemed almost possible... almost.

"I said, 'GO!" He snapped suddenly, sending her flying out the door and out to the street. He allowed himself a few minutes to breathe, anger dissipating and growing concerned for you. He spun around, cupping your cheek in his hand. He'd do anything to change the way things were—if you wanted anything in the world, he'd give it to you without hesitation.

"Are you alright?" He asked worriedly, pressing his forehead to yours. Instead of answering, you staggered back, doing anything to get away from the God. He could feel his heart crack, sending an unwelcome feeling through him almost immediately.

"Y-Y/n..? L-Let's talk about this..." He began approaching you again, being met only with silence.

"Yell, scream, say something... a-anything." He almost begged, once again trying to come near you.

"Y-You're Evmes..." You said, stomach turning at the thought. He watched you, eyes saddening as you stepped away once more, just out of his reach.

"Yes.." He admitted shakily. If there was ever a moment in his entire life that he didn't want to be a God, It was now. He wanted to be with the woman he loved more than anything, even if that meant he'd die one day.

"You lied to me... about everything." Tears began rolling down your cheeks, causing his heart to break even more.

"You don't love me, I'm just some toy to pass the time." You whispered, staggering back once more, lost and heartbroken. The words echoed through his head, eyes growing suddenly wet. He didn't even have words.

"I'll never be marred... I'll be forever shunned." You said, gasping for breaths as realization swept over you, a sense of profound shame already brewing. If the people of your town were merciful, they'd simply kill you, but that was a tad hopeful.

"N-No, it doesn't have to be like that-!" He tried desperately, falling to his knees as you fell to the ground, "We can get married, no one has to know-" And just as quickly as he said it, you were racing to your father's room.

Kitty appeared behind him, hands on her hips, looking as dignified as ever.

"You've taken everything from her, isn't that enough? Leave her to the fate you've sealed for her." Growing angry, James spun around, staring her down furiously.

"I can fix this!" He insisted, solutions flooding into his head, already.

"How Long has it been since you put her father under, James, I'm curious." She said flatly, suddenly deciding her nails were much more interesting than the conversation. A sudden cry was heard down the hall as he realized his mistake, and he sprinted to the door, heart shattering as you held your father's lifeless body. All the excitement had caused him to lose track of the time... he'd killed your father..

"Y/-"

"Leave her to mourn. Haven't you done enough?"

This time, however, he had nothing to respond with. He took a few moments to watch your grief fill the room, tears and sobs joining the foul atmosphere. Irene had been right. She said he would ruin your life, and he had...

"...let's go home..." He whispered, tears beginning to roll down his own cheeks.
