#Wil-Liam

Blocking cuz clearly at this point they're just using me as a punching bag for whatever beef they have with henry stannies as a whole (who have already blocked her- I can see why) and I'm not wasting my time arguing with someone who compares me to the KKK while claiming I'm arguing in bad faith. Wishing her peace and love and all that.

@saudadexmses liked for a little something

Liam had been standing behind Wil for a little while now, leaning against the closed door of the sound proof booth, only waiting for the on-air light to go off. That was when he cleared his throat to get the other's attention. "You're takin' song requests, mate?," he joked before he turned to a more appropriate greeting: "Y'alright?"

River: Hey, look who came out of his nest!

Emil greeted the two with a small nod and smile.

Lucas: Told you, your worries were silly -he smiled gently at the older dragon- Emil: I am sorry. They were indeed. I knew they were, but it was irrational and stronger than me.  Liam: Uncle Em. Can I play with Rylan and Tyvan now?

Emil chuckled, letting the three play, wondering a little what they had brought. It was good to have things back to normal though, having everyone here.

River: Come, since a certain little sunlight here ruined part of the surprise, we might as well show you.

They led the two of them outside, leaving the little ones innside to play. Emil hesitated, but a small squeeze from Flynn had him reassured they were safe and he kissed Flynn’s hands nodding. Flynn noticed something walking down by the chickens, something much bigger. Flynn: Is that a lama? River: Yep! A therapy lama actually. Flynn: A what? River: A therapy lama, actually trained to help people. Flynn: You're making that up.. Right? Lucas: Nope, I thought he was joking as well, but this is apparently the real deal.

FINALLY!! I haven’t posted a fic in AGES. Apologies for that. This is probably the longest thing I’ve ever written. I’m really proud of how this turned out. It took me a while, but I hope it was well worth the wait for everyone. This is the re-write of this fic. I tried to keep it loyal to the original, but also make it better.

Note: I had everything italicized and shit, but tumblr is stupid and doesn’t keep it when it gets copy pasted from a google doc so I’ll go back and fix it later. For now, you can just use your imagination because I am to lazy to do it rn.

Another note: not that this really matters, but Security Breach doesn’t exist in my AU, so first of all, no ‘Burntrap’ and also no SB Vanessa. I much prefer the fan made version from Help Wanted, so that is who I use in my fics and such, but feel free to portray it however you like. She just looks better. Feel free to look at some fan art else where.

A Warm Surprise

A Will/iam x Van/ny Snz Fic

Written by SnzySimper

Word Count: 1950

TW: Spray, Snz (ofc), mentions of deceased children (only briefly)

| I am allowed to write what I want and I would appreciate if you keep whatever rude comments you may have to yourself |

It is about 11 o’clock at night. The pizzeria was far past closing, which was 8 o’clock. One would generally expect for the place to be empty. Isn’t that how this works anyway? Starting in only one hour, the haunted robots spring to life and, well, you know the rest. But, no, not right now. We are far beyond that point. Long story short, after the closing and re-opening, new animatronics were made, and the Fazbear brand was re-started after someone bought the name. As of the current moment, a new man owns the name brand. Well, not quite. After escaping his presumably eternal hell, William Afton put his consciousness inside of a game, making himself nothing but a piece of computer code. With the help of an innocent bystander, he was set free into the world again and, under a new name, bought his company back. Who’s his partner in crime, you may ask? A young woman named Vanessa, or Vanny, as William usually calls her. His little reluctant follower, although she has become less reluctant as time has gone by. In fact, she had become much less of a follower and more of a friend. The two did most everything together. Were they themselves together? Well, no. Not right now, anyway.

Sitting down on a table, Vanny looked over towards the animatronics. They were powered off, as they should be. She and ‘Dave’ planned to keep it that way. No more vengeful ten year olds wanting to damn your soul. And hopefully not ever again. He didn’t have any reason to make it happen again. He had obtained his immortality, so why would he need to kill more children. It’s not like he needs the remnant. She glances around the pizzeria, not used to it being so empty and quiet. No sounds of children giggling and screaming. No music. Only the hum from the air conditioner. A bit creepy and unsettling to most, but she had come quite accustomed to it. She found it almost peaceful. It was silent, and peaceful, and not a single sound to-

“-gGGes’SSHHhss!!”

Slightly startled at the broken silence, Vanny looks up. She was alone in the pizzeria, minus her ‘boss’. It had to have been him. Come to think of it, had she ever heard him sneeze before? Being a computer code, she didn’t really think he could sneeze. Oh well. Who cares? A sneeze is a sneeze. No skin off her teeth. She pulls out her phone, not paying it anymore mind. “Hh’gGG’shhh!!..’Ggsshh!” Well, this was certainly interesting. It was strange enough for this to happen once, granted that it had never happened before. But three times? Curious to what could possibly be happening, Vanny hops off of the table to go and find him. It was getting to be time to head home, so she should go and get him anyway.

~~~~

“Hhhh…”

Sitting at his desk, William breathes heavily. He was happy that the day was finally over. He could just go home and fall asleep on the sofa. He crosses his arms and lowers his head, about to fall asleep in the chair. In front of him are blueprints for trying to fix SpringBonnie. Trying. Although he may as well just start from scratch. The suit itself is beyond repair, but the internal parts, or at least the springlocks, could possibly be salvaged. It would take a good bit of effort though. As the AC turns on, he shivers, wrapping his arms tightly around his chest. Was it usually this cold in the pizzeria? Or maybe someone had just messed with the thermostat. Who knows. Giving William the benefit of the doubt, he is a TWIG. The average weight for someone who is 7’2 is around 230. William is 190. One could say that this is due to him not eating much. He doesn’t see a reason why he should. As we have previously established, he’s already immortal. It isn’t like he can starve. Although, the occasional meal is nice. He slowly raises and tilts his head back, his breath hitching slightly. “hhHh’GGschh!!” Damn. Why is he so cold? Wiping his nose on the back of his hand, he sighs. Was it possible he could- no. No, no. He’s a piece of computer code for crying out loud; barely even able to be classified as a human being at this point. Being sick is completely out of the question.

Right?

It had been a long day of listening to the same 6 songs on repeat, children's laughter, and, worst of all, the smell of shitty cheap pizza. He was more than ready to go home by now. Vanny walks in the room, softly knocking on the door. “Mr. Afton?” She walks up behind him, and gently places her hand on his shoulder. Having completely zoned out, he jumps at the touch of her hand. She jerks her hand back. “M-Mr. Afton-! I’m so sorry, did I wake you?” While they were ‘friends’, Vanny’s voice still trembled whenever addressing him. She knew all that he had done in the past, and was terrified of what he would be capable of doing now that he was immortal and essentially invincible. William, however, didn’t respond in his usual manner. “Vanessa,” he gives her a small weak smile. He doesn’t face her directly. He simply looks back at her using only his eyes. His piercing, icy blue eyes. “It’s nearly midnight.” She wrung her hands. “Shouldn’t we be leaving soon?”

“Yes. Worry not, we will be heading out soo-”

He abruptly stops speaking. He looks a bit dazed for a moment before quickly bringing his hand to his face, pinching his nose. “Ht’nnt-!” It is almost silent. “Ht’nxxt!! ‘nxxT -nnt!” And again. “hhHt’nkkt!!”

“Bless you,” Vanny says softly. He lets go of his nose, which is now a warm pink, and sniffles as he wipes his nose on the back of his hand. “Hhh, thank…thank you.” At last, he turns in his chair to face her. Vanny is worried by the sight of him. His cheeks are a touch of pink, and so does his nose, although his nose is a brighter shade. The parts of his face that aren’t flushed somehow look even more pale than they usually do. The dark circles under his eyes are more noticeable than normal. Tiny droplets of sweat are present on his forehead. Almost by instinct, she reaches up and gently presses the back of her hand against his forehead. “Mr Afton, you look awful. Are you feeling alright?” Realizing that she literally just reached up and touched his face without any sort of warning, she panics and quickly tries to jerk her hand away. Before she can fully pull her hand away, William reaches up and presses the palm of her hand against his cheek, sighing happily. Vanny blushes, shocked by the intimate gesture. He closes his eyes and lowers his head. He looks very happy to say the least. “Your hand,” he says quietly. “It feels really warm. It feels nice.”

“Your face is very warm, too. And not in a good way.” She lets him hold her hand and uses her other hand to feel his forehead again, now assuming that he doesn’t mind her touching his face. “You have a fever. I’m sure of it.” She removes her hand from his forehead and moves his hair so it isn’t covering his eyes. “Mmhm,” he hums in agreement, although she is quite sure that he isn’t paying all that much attention to what she is saying. She laughs softly. “Come on, let's go home.”

Vanny helps walk him into the house. Leaving her side, William walks away and flops face first onto the couch. He looks pretty comfortable. Vanny giggles. She isn’t used to seeing him so relaxed. Usually when he interacts with others, he lacks much emotion and is very curt. Any time someone tries to care for him or assist him with something non-work related, he snaps at them to leave him alone. With her he is usually a bit more friendly, but not much. Tonight, he had been everything but that. He even smiled at her. Vanny walks over to the couch and sits down next to him. William helps himself and rests his head on her lap. She lets out a small squeak, shocked at the fact that he is being so affectionate. She sighs and begins gently scratching his head. He smiles. “We should probably get some medicine for you.” William hums softly. “I’m fiiine.” He closes his eyes, sighing softly. Vanny sighs. “Alright. If you say so.” She didn’t want to challenge him on anything, so as not to take his gentle and chill attitude for granted.

They are silent for a good ten minutes before William starts sniffling. Vanny looks down at him. He is rubbing his face with the back of his hand, his nose clearly irritated. William eventually gives up, deciding that his efforts to relieve the itchy tickling sensation in his nose are fruitless. He looks adorable, Vanny thinks. She gently presses the tip of his nose with her index finger. “h’EHshhSS!” Vanny jumps slightly. “Oh. Bless you.”

“Mmm..what was thah for?” He grumbles sleepily. “Sorry. You just looked so cute. Your nose was twitching like a little bunny.” Vanny giggles. William rolls over to face up at her, his eyes still closed. “Could you..do it again?” She is a bit surprised, and pretty confused. “What, why would you want-”

“My nose..it’s still itchy. I need to sneeze. Please…” He opens his eyes looking up at her, his eyes practically begging for her to do something. Vanny can’t help but feel bad for him. “Alright.” She takes her thumb and index finger and begins gently rubbing the sides of his nose.He sniffles a few times as she continues to gently touch his nose. “I-is this helping? Is it working?” He sniffles once again. “Y-yeah, snff, sorta.” Vanny moves from the sides of his nose to the base, just below his nostrils. “Oh- hihh right sndff there..” She continues rubbing his nose, a bit harder this time. William’s breath is hitching. He tilts his head back, before inhaling sharply. “Hh’Gggshhs!! HGg’essh!! EH-shhiis! Ht’chh ‘chtt!!” He tries his best to avoid spraying Vanny, although he still gets her a little. Vanny lifts his head off of her lap. “I’ll be right back. I’m gonna go find some tissues.” She quickly rushes out of the living room to go and search for tissues.

William sits up, holding his nose shut as he continues to sneeze wetly. “hMP’tchh! Ht’CHH!! T’chh k‘chh -gSHH!!” Vanny comes back with a box of tissues and sits back down on the couch. She hugs William, leaning him back in her arms. She holds the box of tissues out in front of him. He quickly grabs one and holds it up to his face. “H’ppshh!! Hh’IISHH!!” He sighs, having been able to finally catch his breath. He rubs his nose with the tissue. His nose is revealed to be much more pink than it was before. He sniffles, draping his arms on Vanny’s shoulders, holding on to her like a sloth. He rests his head on her shoulder, closing his eyes. “ I’mb sorry sndDF for..snff sneezigg on you.” Vanny chuckles softly. “It’s alright. I don’t mind.” She rubs his head and begins playing with his hair. Laying down, she holds onto William and hugs him close. “Try and get some sleep, alright?” William hums in response. It isn’t long before she hears him softly snoring. She smiles, kissing the top of his head. “Sleep well, Mr. Afton.”

what's really annoying and incredible about the witcher is that you can and will understand where every characters motives came from and you will be conflicted to choose who you root for to make it.

Mac and Shes

MACBETH Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon, Thursday 7th September 2023 I’ve had my fill of Hamlets and I don’t care if I never see a King Lear again, but for some reason I always look forward to new productions of Macbeth.  In the right hands, the play is a violent, psychological power struggle with a supernatural twist.  I live in hope that someone somewhere will someday get it…

William Rex route - ch. 2 summary

All possible disclaimers are valid! I'm not a mother tongue speaker and I'm doing this for fun. 100% accuracy is not guaranteed. This chapter felt exceptionally long? But hey, there were many cute and nice moments so it's fine

!! TW !! // THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MENTIONS OF HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION

William makes fun of MC's situation. He didn't expect her to choose the one person she's most wary of as her observation target. Even if she tries to deny it, he knows what her real thoughts are. On the other hand MC cannot really say she doesn't want to stay with him, as it would put her in a weird position.

MC: "Then, William-sama..." William: "William." MC: "...William. What are your plans for today?"

MC panics a bit, thinking she's going to end up at another crime scene or some sort of shady and dangerous place like the East End slums or Opium houses. William happily laughs and apologises for not living up to her expectations: he doesn't go killing people every day and night. MC realises that her assumptions were rude.

[Player Choice: すみません, the 2nd choice will give you +4 +4 points] MC: "That was disrespectful. I'm sorry."

William doesn't mind, it's a normal reaction and he really enjoys her honest expressions and curiosity. Turns out, he still hasn't decided on what to do for the day yet. He was thinking of going into the city to gather information but... At that moment, a gorgeous voice reaches them from nearby.

Liam:" Good morning Wil, MC-chan!"

MC:" Good morning Liam...? Roger-san, you're really good at mimicking voices, aren't you...?"

Then suddenly Liam appears out of nowhere. His power is that of becoming invisible to the eyes of people at a certain distance; it's quite convenient. William observes that he appears to be in a good mood and asks if he has been doing another "fun experiment" with Roger. The latter has been researching curses by studying on his own ("The traitorous hunter"); he joined Crown with the purpose of finding samples other than himself, and now he's been doing human experiments on a cooperative person like Liam. However, he also wants to do a comparative verification with normal people...

Roger: "Will you collaborate with me, young lady?"

In front of such a proposal, MC is scared and doesn't know how to act; however, she swallows the welling-up fear and tells Roger that yes, if it's within the scope of her duties as fairy tale master then...

William: "...."

Much to MC's relief, Roger bursts out laughing and admits it was just a joke. In the meantime, Liam calls out to William, who has been silently staring at the scene without saying anything, but the man waves it off. After this interaction, they parted ways with Roger who went straight to his laboratory, whereas Liam joined William and MC on their walk towards an unkown destination.

As they approach the entrance hall, MC notices a high pile of items that wasn't there the night prior. A picture frame wrapped in fine cloth, a coffin with a design of seemingly highly historical value, a necklace with a big jewel... There is a bunch of beautiful things cramped together.

Alfons: "Oh.... El did it again, didn't he?"

Liam greets him, asking if he has just returned home now. The other replies affirmatively, and adds that it's because last night, too, his "friends" didn't let go of him. MC notices the man's languid aura and sweet scent, a mix of multiple perfumes, so she decides not to ask him any questions. Alfons decides to take all those objects to Elbert's room, guessing that they'll probably end up as forgotten junk in his room anyway.

Alphonse: "Then, good night."

After saying that, he walks into the depths of the castle while sighing dramatically. Liam starts explaining that Elbert's curse (whom he calls El-sama) is that of the Greedy Queen (from Snow White) and that stuff like this happens because he's looking for the most beautiful thing in the world. On the other hand, Al's curse is that of the Magic Mirror, from the same fairy tale.

Jude: "Tch.... 'the hell is all this. Can't even walk through here."

Jude appears, followed by Ellis, and starts cursing, stepping on the coffin to get over it (Ellis jumps over it lol).The both of them are leaving for work. Jude's curse is the 13th Fairy, and Ellis' is the Thorn (from Sleeping Beauty), Liam explains. Before leaving the place, Ellis turns around and tells William that the incident from last night is already in the papers: the Queen of Hearts strikes again. William thanks him for the information, and Liam (the kind guide) explains the character of the Queen of Hearts to MC. Her iconic line "Off with your head!" is used to describe William's modus operandi; he also adds that according to Roger, this fairy tale was probably based on the story of a self-righteous king. As she's writing everything down in her notebook, MC realises something: "He said that it "striked again", then that means that William's assassinations are quite famous".

Liam:"Of course, he's one of the founders of Crown. I heard that it was created because of an incident he caused."

William: "Oh I see you remember it well. Our cat listens to us properly."

In other words, before Her Majesty gave the order to do so, there was already a case in which William "won evil with evil", which then made the Queen think that it should continue, MC thinks. She then wonders what kind of evil they are fighting, exactly?

Switching topics, William asks Liam about today's stage rehearsal, which apparently is going to be in the afternoon. After hearing those words, MC feels a bit down: she wasn't able to receive this month's salary so she won't be able to attend any play this month; that, and there is the issue with Crown, too.

MC: (.......I wanted to go see it.)

William: "........."  ".....Today's schedule has been decided. Let's go see a play"

[...]

MC thinks that her job should be to observe Will and record his sins, not go see a play with him.

William: "Rain Rain go away, Come again another day...🎶"

He's not the type of person to act like a gentleman and go out of his way to please someone... right? Anyhow, the dolled-up MC (courtesy of Liam) is worried that there won't be any ticket lefts, especially because they suddenly decided to go as a last minute decision. On the other hand, William is as calm as one can be, asking the girl from which seat she'd like to watch the performance. Of course, the first thing that comes to her mind is a good view from the front row, but that'd be asking for too much, so she answers that any seat is fine with her. William doesn't seem to fully believe her, and when they finally arrive at the theater, he introduces himself at the reception, making the manager suddenly run up to meet him. The manager asks William what he can help him with, and when the latter asks for seats in the front row of tonight's play, the manager complies straight away. MC is delightfully shocked, but although she tries to hide it, Will can see through her clearly. "If it would have made you this happy, you should have said so from the beginning."

Turns out that he's one of the theater's supporters, meaning that he has some sort of privilege. MC realises that something for which she would have needed to work months for, has just been obtained in a matter of seconds due to pure social status. Life is unfair but... she still feels happy. When they walk into the room, she's overwhelmed with excitement, but it doesn't take long for her to notice the amount of stares they're receiving from both the commoners and the nobles. She feels tremendously nervous as she has never been stared at like this; is it because they're gonna seat at the front row, or is it because William is with a woman? She glances over to her companion, who doesn't seem to be uncomfortable in the slightest; he's used to it, he says.

William: "By the way, I know what happens when I return their gazes; I tried it out once. 50% look away, 40% of them smile."

MC: "...And the remaining 10%?"

William: "They're quite unpleasant. They raise their middle finger at me. Mainly men.”

MC laughs at this (PLS THIS IS SO CUTE), which involuntarily makes her relax her shoulders. For the first time, she feels like William is an actual human being, someone from the same world as her. He points out that she has finally shown him a smile, although even now she's just laughing half-heartedly. Then, he switches topic, turning his attention to the play that's about to begin.

After the play, they're walking together, and MC is excitedly ranting about the play. She mentions one scene in particular, where she thought the actor had really been stabbed. William wonders if maybe the man had been stabbed before, assuming that he may have tried it for the pure sake of acting; anesthesia and suturing techniques are quite advanced now, so it wouldn't be such a reach to say that. Furthermore, he noticed that he had a habit of dragging his left leg a little, and it is not uncommon for nerves to remain compressed by the retractor during a suturing procedure, leaving the leg paralysed (oh he smart SMART). MC thinks that if that were the case then that'd mean that the man's love for acting must be out of this world; she could never risk her life to that point because of her job. William suddenly bursts out laughing, saying she shouldn't take it this seriously: it's all his own speculation. "I think you trust my words too much because you think of me as someone you should be wary of"

MC: "Please don't make fun of me.... Ah."

She covers her mouth with her hand when she realises she just reflexively talked back to him. She was still feeling emotional from the theater so it just happened to slip; however, William gently removes her hand. "You try to suppress your own feelings due to the habit of being considerate of other's ones. I don't think it's because you're simply scared of me. "I'm afraid to stay with William as a partner", "I hate human experiments", "I wanted to go to the theater", "I'd like to sit in the front row", "I don't want to be teased". These are all your real feelings, why hide them?".

MC doesn't really know a reason why. It's just that... she feels like she shouldn't really put her heart into what she says; but she doesn't have any particular reason. William says he doesn't mind if she calls him off, saying he's a murdered or self-centered, for example. But MC disagrees, she doesn't know him well enough to be cursing him.

William: "That's right. Then... would you like to know more?"

MC: "...For the sake of the mission."

William just smiles and looks at her, but why does he do it that way? Ever since they met, she has been at the mercy of that smile of his. But even now, it's like he's not looking at her, but rather at something inside her, making her restless.

"Thank you for bringing me to the play today." William says not to worry, as he was originally planning to go into town anyway. He then asks where they shall go to next. But what about going home? "Ahah, is it time for the good girl to go to bed? Unfortunately, the next month won't have any of this kind of decency. Ah, I have an idea of where to go; it's a fun place, I'm sure you'll like it too."

The Big Ben points to 9pm, and MC feels like the theater was already more than enough. Moreover, a "fun place" for an assassin on a night like this... she feels like it won't be anything nice. However since today he listened to her feelings, saw through what she wanted and gave it to her, maybe she should accept the invitation.
