─ ‧ ִ ۫✭ A rock for a dragon

Malleus Draconia x Reader

Summary: You found a rock and gave it to Malleus because it reminded you of him.

Word count: 899

I kinda want to draw him with his tiny pretty black rock.

══════ ⋆★⋆ ═══════ ⋆★⋆ ═══════ ⋆★⋆ ══════

Malleus wasn't a stranger of people feeling uneasy around him. Everyone thought and expected too much out of him. He was used to such thing, even if he wasn't too fond of it. Not many could just approach him casually and make small talk. They either treated him too formally, too artificially or they ran because Sebek scared them off. He could count with his fingers all of the people that genuinely appreciated him and he still would have some space left. He had his friends sure, but he never quite had something true. Of course that was until a particular human came along. 

Oh how he cherished you. You would wave, talk to him and even invite him to anything you had the chance to. No one else treated him in that way. That’s why whenever your familiar head would pop up, when your voice reached his ears or when your eyes stared at him, he knew he was about to have a good day. 

“Tsunotaro!”

A familiar voice said, and the smile that appeared on his face was almost automatic. When you walked towards him, the normally unapproachable fae housewarden looked over your direction with small fondness in his eyes. That little pet name, he had grown fond of it too. It always caused that fuzzy feeling in his chest. You ran all the way to where he stood, and you seemed to be holding something between your palms. 

“Child of man, what a pleasant surprise. Is there anything you need from me?” He asked, curious green eyes peering at your shorter figure.

“Take a look at what I found!” You replied excitedly. After that, you showed him. 

There was a small rock on your palm, a black one. It looked smooth but it had some sharp edges here and there. Upon closer inspection, it looked like black obsidian. Is that why you acted so excited? How charming.

“Look! It's a shiny polished rock! I found it near Ramshackle and it reminded me of you right away!" You beamed with joy. 

Malleus focused on the last sentence. You found a rock and you immediately brought it to him because it had reminded you of him? What simple way of thinking, and yet he was delighted to know that was the reason and not casual love for minerals. 

“You thought of me from a rock?” He questioned, cocking his head to his left just slightly. 

"Oh not because it's a rock, but because it's so black and shiny. It reminded me of your horns or your hair. So I thought 'Malleus would like it' and I cleaned it up and brought it. Do you like it?" You replied right away, as if your logic made absolute sense. 

That made him even more delighted to hear. It was actually very adorable of you. Malleus carefully took the shiny rock  into his hand to look closely at it, examining the obsidian for a moment. 

“I do, I like it very much” He answered, his voice sounding almost as soft as the way he stared at you. 

"I am glad, I thought it would be silly, you know? It's just a rock, why would a fae prince be impressed when he can have thousands of rocks? But I went for it anyway” You said, and he could see where you were coming from. 

He had received thousands of gifts in the past. Lustrous jewelry, expensive treasure, accessories, trinkets, food, and more. All of that was true, and yet this one was different. It was a gift meant for him. Not because of its price or value, but because it was given from the memory of him. He was kept in your mind. What else could he ask for?

Just being in someone's mind, not because of his power or his position. Not at all, just him. Oh he wanted to do anything for you now. If you asked for all the gold in the world he would hand you even more somehow.

“It is not just a rock. It is special” He said, still touching the rock with his gloved fingers. 

"Oh you really think so? Thank you so much. I hope you treasure it. I would too if you gave me a rock" You said before suddenly looking as if you remembered something. "Oh I have to go back to Ramshackle, I will see you later!” You replied and immediately bolted through the halls. 

He only smiled politely and waved you away, since you ran off so fast. Once he lost your figure his gaze went back to the rock. He touched it close to his chest, as if it was the most valuable treasure ever. He would never lose it. He kept thinking about you. The way you showed it to him so happily and the happy look on your face when you said you liked it. It was priceless. His heart almost skipped a beat. How could you be that adorable? It was like magic. 

“So endearing…” He muttered fondly to himself before placing it in his pocket to avoid losing it. 

Since that day, he had been carrying it around with him. Everywhere. It didn’t matter where he went, the little rock was coming with him. Occasionally he would take it out and stare at it, with the most adoring look one could give to something. And he definitely wanted to give you something back, but he hadn’t found yet what could possibly summarize how much he felt for you. He could only hope that when he found it, you would be just as happy as how he feels right now.

Back at it again with the half asleep prompts and boy howdy is this a prompt. Well kinda? It's more a rant of what I'm desperate to see more of in DP x DC fics with some ideas of how to utilize it within.

So we all know the episode where freakshow hypnotized Danny with the red rock. I desperately want this rock used more in DP x DC fics and would do absolutely anything to see it happen. I know the first one freakshow used was destroyed but tbh if it's a mineral there's definitely bound to be more of it.

So many incidences with so many villains could happen from this there's absolutely any possibility just take your pick!

There could be a Danny and Damian are twins au where Ra's finds out the heir he thought was dead was actually alive and has powers now! Even better yet all he needs to ensure complete and utterly obedience is one little red rock. This could lead to the bats having to solve a string of murders where someone literally just grips peoples hearts or something. Something that is subtle and doesn't show up very easily that's a complete anomaly. Then upon finding out it's the missing twin and mind control they have to break him free and help him recover not just physically but mentally!

Maybe there's an au where Danny is related to someone in the batfam or dating someone in the batfam. Joker finds out and finds out the kid can easily be controlled by a little red rock. He of course uses the hell out of this to fuck with the bats even going as far to torture this kid. This could really happen with any villain. It could also be a matter of Danny bing the newest bird in the family and a villain finding a way to control a bird and use them however they want to!

This could work with interactions with other heroes too! Imagine Lex Luthor finds out about this pretty incompetent preteen with such powers he could probably take down superman if he were competent with said powers and he finds out all it takes to control said preteen is a little red rock. Of course he would abuse that and force this kid to try and deal with superman.

Imagine Constantine being the only one to realize this random ghost kid is being controlled. The JL is after him for who knows what crimes and this guy has to explain no not all gosts are evil like the leading scientists suggest and that this one specifically is pretty harmless to humans normally but some asshole with a red rock decided it would be funny to force him to do bad stuff.

Imagine his protection core getting damaged from being forced to do bad and he literally almost fades from it and whomever saves him is absolutely pissed.

Genuinely there are so so many possibilities for any flavor of au you want! I am the number 1 fan and advocate of using this silly stone in fics I'm begging yall please abuse this little red rock bring ur spin on it to the world I desperately want more fics that utilize this!

Spark Chapter One

“I'm really looking forward to the race! I wonder who's gonna be competing this year!” Snowflare bounced a little while she walked beside her mate, the very strong and very protective D16. “Who knows! Maybe Mirage! I know you think he's cute.” The mech replied with a teasing smile. Snowflare only shook her helm and hooked her arm around D16's. “The only mechs I find cute are you and Orion… . Speaking of, where is he? I hadn't seen him this morning.”

Just as the femme inquired on the whereabouts of her other mate, two larger mechs landed in front of her and D16. Peaking her helm over, she could spot Orion trying to reason with the two. Suddenly, D16 crashed his cart into the two larger mechs. As they turned to berate him, Snowflare slyly assisted Orion in hiding from them. Once the mechs ran off in search of Orion, D16 and Snowflare boarded the train carrying the other miners.

“Alright, Coast is clear.” D said as Snowflare giggled watching Orion pop out the cart. “D16, Now I may be a little rusty but corroded, that's too far.” Orion joked. “Let me guess, you checked outta the archives?” D16 asked while looking at his friend. As the mechs talked, Snowflare was busy looking out the train window. Her optics though covered, still widened with wonder and excitement like usual whenever she caught the sight of the large Sentinel Prime monument.

From the day she came online, Snowflare had always looked up to Sentinel. He was her hero. If she could meet him, she would. “Hey, Sweetspark, come on!” Orion called out to the femme before taking her smaller servo into his and kissing it. “Ugh you show off. We’ll see you after our shift, ok?” Snowflare nodded as she received a sweet kiss from D16 then Orion before the three went their separate ways.

While the mechs mined the energon, Snowflare pushed the carts to the converter belt where she and other miners tilted the energon rich rocks onto the belt for them to be processed then made into the cubes the planet consumed. Her job, while not as dangerous as her mates, was still time consuming and hard on her joints. Later that day, Snowflare and another femme talked about their mates. “I suspect he's going to ask me to be his Sparkmate soon! Oh I’m so excited!!” The femme squealed before she asked Snowflare about Orion and D16.

“They’re a bit of a handful but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love them very much.” As Snowflare finished her statement, she noticed her two mates trudging over to their lockers. “Uh oh, something happened…I’ll uh…I’ll see you later Nightbird.” As Snowflare made her way over to her mates, they both tried to play off what had happened to them. Eventually, Orion spilled the bolts and revealed what actually happened on their shift.

“I’m sorry Snow, but your split spark is really mad. She might not be in the mood to even talk to you. And she loves to talk to you.” Orion said as he took her smaller servo into his. Snowflare simply smiled before kissing his face plate. “You two let me worry about her, I just want you two not to do something that dangerous again. I don’t want to have to bury you both because you decide to play the hero.” Orion nodded before he leaned in and kissed Snowflare gently and pulled away to let D16 do the same.

Suddenly an announcement came in. “Attention All Sectors. Please Stand By For A Live Transmission From Sentinel Prime.” As the leader of the Cybertron appeared in holo form, Snowflare smiled brightly while D16 cheered. Orion smiled as he placed a servo on Snowflare’s shoulder armor. The three along with their fellow miners listened intently to the message. Sentinel failed to find the matrix yet again but he assured the masses that he would indeed find it.

The second message was to inform that all shifts would be off for the Iacon5000. A high octane race around the city. An event that displayed the talents of many transformers. And the absolute favorite event of D16. it used to be because of all the racers and the high adrenaline it gave off. But now, it was because the race was where he and Orion met Snowflare. Many cycles ago. He remembered it as if it happened only a few moments ago.

He and Orion were never the type to really chase after femmes, mostly due to the fact that many of the femmes they found pretty were out of their class. Them being miners while the femmes were transformers. So what were the odds of the two mechs getting seats right next to mini con Snowflare and her older split spark Elita-One.

D16 knew the moment their eyes met, that she just had to be his. Things did get a bit rocky when Orion revealed he was also pining after Snowflare but after coming to the agreement they could just share, life became so much better. “Oh yea! I hope Mirage wins this year! Oooh or Behemoth!” Snowflare exclaimed as she joined in on the excitement of the mention of the race.

The very next day, Snowflare scored exceptionally good seats and waited for her mates to show up. While she waited, Orion and D16 climbed a ladder to the light looking over the starting line. “Don’t be a glitch, this’ll be totally worth it!” Orion said as he climbed the ladder. “Hey, you don’t be a glitch. Look, I know this is like fun for you to loom around but if I miss any part of the Iacon5000 I swear I will…smelt your…face …off…” D16’s sentence trailed off as his optics were met with the tremendously gorgeous view of the racers and the crowd.

His optics then zoomed in on Snowflare as she cheered with the crowd. “Ugh Primus, how can a femme be so damn pretty? Like he must have used some kind of special energon to make her.” Orion chuckled as his optics zoomed in on her as well. “Beautiful sight. Can you believe she’s all ours? Don’t you wanna impress her? Don’t you wanna make her proud to have us as her mates?” Orion asked as he slyly put the jetpack on D16’s back.

“Are you kidding? If I was able to do something like that, afterwards, I’d ask her to marry…..Why’d you bring jetpacks?” The mech turned to his friend and eyed him confused. “It’s time to show them we’re more than meets the eye.” D16 immediately knew what Orion meant. “Oh no…” As the race kicked off, Snowflare was one of the very first to notice two familiar mechs amongst the transformers. “Orion?! D?!”

But now we must know, what are your headcanons for the first generation of Gods siblings? Personally? Zeus isn’t allowed to swim with Poseidon cause they always fight and Zeus goes toaster in bathtub mode where he’s the toaster.

I haven't considered Zeus doing the "toaster in bathtub" thing. Thank you Anon, I will put this into my HC list :3333

Now on with the first-generation Olympians (it's gonna be a long ride, so strap on!)

Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon were swallowed when they were young kids/nearing adolescence, not newborn babies. I want Kronos and Rhea's family to have some years of happiness together before the prophecy ruin them all.

Out of the Big Six, Demeter and Hades look the most alike to Kronos (unrelated note: Persephone looks the most alike to Kronos out of the 2nd gen)

Demeter is Kronos' favorite child because she shares his power over agriculture. Kronos has even planned her future to be his successor as goddess of the harvest.

Poseidon has the fear of dark, closed places due to his trauma of being locked in Kronos' stomach. During his first centuries ruling the ocean, he cannot stay in his kingdom at night because the realm gets extremely dark and it paranoid him. Poseidon can't go to the deep trenches either.

To cope with his fear, Poseidon's bedroom is filled with bioluminescent algae and jellyfish.

After escaping Kronos' stomach, Hera was sent to take refuge at Oceanus and Tethys' place. Around this time, she became besties with Amphitrite (I see Amphi as a daughter of Nereus but she is close with the other sea deities too)

Thetis and Hera's friendship is underrated. Hera, Thetis, and Amphitrite have occasional girl's nights where they ditch their spouses to spend time together.

As besties Hera and Amphitrite share the same taste in men *looking at Zeus and Poseidon*

Hera and Amphitrite were not happy when Zeus married off Thetis. Oh boy, there were a lot of screaming and fighting for Thetis' behalf.

It was very surprising when Thetis later made her husband Peleus immortal (there is a version of that lol)

Zeus and Poseidon created the electric eel and other aquatic animals that produce electricity. The purpose? Ask them.

When Hebe was training to become the cupbearer of the gods, Zeus watched over her and gave her tips from time to time. He used to be the cupbearer of Kronos, too.

I am seriously contemplating on whether Poseidon have a thing for Odysseus or not. Like in "I want to fuck you up both ways".

Hades doesn't outright ban the others from coming to the Underworld. The reason he doesn't like them visiting often is because some will ask (read: screaming and crying at) him to resurrect their favorite mortals.

Hades adopted Cerberus some times after Typhon (Cerberus' bio father) was defeated and the doggo had nowhere to go. From then on Cerberus was living in luxury in the Underworld with the only job is to guard the door.

Hades has a messed up sense of humor after centuries of dealing with the dead, and Persephone got infected as well. If you ask Hades "Can you give me a hand?" he will give you an actual hand.

Hades x Persephone x Minthe OT3 is real.

Hades isn't some gloomy dark man. Yeah, he wears black a lot but also with gleaming gems and fine jewelries (you know, god of precious minerals and all).

You don't believe me? Here's the testimony:

(tfw your husband rocks his dress prettier than you :DDD)

The three kings didn't draw lots to determine who will rule which realm. During the Titanomachy, they grew fond over their future kingdom and showed hints of belonging to them.

Poseidon's first hint of becoming King of the Sea is that he makes lots of sea puns. Like, a lot.

They also don't have total rule over their kingdoms. Their authority is above all but still under the Primordials of their respective realms (Zeus is under Nyx, Poseidon under Pontus, Hades under Tartarus). Every time they make major changes in their kingdom, they have to consult the Primordials first.

Demeter isn't officially crowned ruler of the Mortal Realm but they all know she is in charge of the whole place.

Even though the Big Six preside over lots of domains, they don't always tend to each one themselves but have lesser deities like dryads, naiads, nepheles, etc. to assist them while they act like the head directors.

The marriages of the three kings and queens are more about political power than love. It's not that they don't have some feelings for each other though.

When they were young and Zeus is courting Hera, he once put on a peacock tail to woo her.

Demeter is married to Leto and they raised Persephone, Artemis, and Apollo together. I don't take objection.

All of the second-generation Olympians were taken care of by Hestia at least one time.

Do not mistake Hestia's dislike of violence for her incapability of inflicting violence. She can cause more damage than your mental health is prepare for.

Hestia doesn't yell or hit others, but disappointing her is the biggest crime.

Demeter makes the best vegetable dishes, roasts, soups, anything. Kids love veggies because of her. She can make you love broccoli with one meal.

Headacanon but also true myth: Demeter adopted and raised lots of kids on her own. Many of them later became her companions or spread the agricultural knowledge they learned from her to humanity. They all love mama Demeter.

Hera treats her daughters better than her sons, but it's because she is learning from her mistakes in bringing up Ares and Hephaestus. She isn't the best but she is trying everyday.

Zeus doesn't hate Ares, but what he reflects. Ares is a raw reminder of a darker side of Zeus that he'd rather pretend doesn't exist.

I've made this joke before but it's still relevant: The only thing more complicated than advance mathematics is Zeus and Hera's relationship with Ares.

Zeus' favorite children are Athena and Apollo, obviously. His least favorite (as in he doesn't care enough compared to others) are Ares and Persephone.

Iris and Chloris/Flora are not straight because of Hera, but they know they won't have any chances with her.

Zeus' first lover is Aëtos, an earth-born man who was his childhood friend when he lives in Crete.

In the modern world, the lock screen of Hera's phone has the picture of her family being happy together. And her home screen is the pic of Zeus in a Pikachu onesie.

I know others have probably said this before, but I just love the idea that Daryl would be the type to give you little things— small treasures— or do things for you— share a sweet moment, or of course, be his heroic self and help you (or really you help each other) out of harms way. I think it’s because one of his love languages obviously has to be acts of service. He may not be a big talker, but the way he fights for his loved ones is nothing sort of fearless, and as I heard Norman Reedus say in an interview, when it comes to Daryl as a person, “it’s about what you do, and what you say, and what you follow up with…” Similarly, I think this is how he would show his sincerity and care for a partner and since he may not be quick with the verbal initiation…

⋆｡˚ this care would first be shown in the things he gives you or does with you like… ⋆｡˚

- The way you’d probably have variety of little knickknacks all around your room or ones that you’d keep in your pocket from things Daryl has found for you outside.

- Perhaps he would find cool looking or pretty rocks on the ground from a supply run or from hunting in the forest.

- He’d pick the interesting ones, the ones that glittered or shimmered in the sun, or if he was lucky enough to find it, maybe there’d be a colorful mineral.

- You’d have them specifically placed all around different corners in your room, the collection getting too big to keep in one place.

- Maybe he’d also start a charm collection for you.

- One time in the woods, the two of you tracked a deer, or really Daryl did. You stood behind, taking it as a hunting lesson for yourself.

- When he caught the deer, you both went closer to the body and in the corner of your eye you saw something that shined in the grass.

- Crouching down to pick it up you discovered a tiny charm of the sun. “Look!” You held it to the sky so the sun could shine on it further.

- “We just caught a deer, and you’re lookin at that?”

- “We just caught a deer for the first time in months and this was right by them… it’s good luck, literally a lucky charm.”

- You clipped it onto your necklace so you didn’t loose it.

- There was something about how the charm, and the actual sun, and your eyes shined perfectly together with it, so after that, he wanted to find one with a moon and another with stars to match.

- Then, he’d just start collecting whatever charm or even keychains that had a clasp or jump ring to add to your collection.

- You didn’t even think it was something you’d be interested in starting until he found those other two. It felt special because he gave it to you and it made you become obsessed so much so that you even joined him in the pursuit of finding charms or cool little keychains yourself.

- It became a fun little side quest for the both of you, a-not-actual-competition-competition to find the most interesting and unique ones when you happened to be on runs together.

- You’d both keep an eye out on the ground or whenever you searched vacant neighborhood houses: looking in the kids room for charms or on the key hooks by the front door for keychains that could possibly work.

- If either of you found one you didn’t have, you’d add it to your collection. Or if you found those bigger keychain character figurine ones, you’d both give those to Judith so she could play with it. Unbeknownst to her, you were helping her set up a collection as well.

- You would use them to hopefully make a charm bracelet in the future if you found the right chain for it or if you could find pieces to make one yourself; or you would just switch them off with your necklace chain depending on the day; or have them on your backpack or jeans or belt if you could.

- Now here’s a moment: after a lot of begging and wear down he would finally teach you how to ride his bike.

- You two were a team, and he knew he would probably need you to know how to ride eventually. Maybe it would come in handy when the group is attacked or they are the one doing the attacking. Who knows where he’ll be or where you’ll be in those moments? Or who the bike is closer to in that instance. This way, you have a possible escape plan with that extra skill.

- You’d probably even get a little too comfortable after you got better at riding and try to hop on first, taking the main spot.

- He doesn’t always let you, pushing you to the back so he can get in front, but sometimes… sometimes, he likes letting you take the wheel, because he knows you like it from time to time, and because he likes to see you smile; likes to see you proud of your capability.

- I think he’d also try to find a special knife for you. Something unique like Carol’s or that has a nice sleeve like Beth’s did. Something uniquely your own. Just like he has his bow.

- And with that, if you didn’t have one yet, I also think he might help you find the best weapon for you. Another thing that you could have as your own that you could become very skilled at fighting with.

- One time, he’d even gift you with the action of allowing you to talk a picture of him: Rick’s polaroid would have been in your backpack one day as you take a break from your travels outside of Alexandria. You and Daryl are sitting under a tree near an open grass plain. You would see how the wind made strands of his hair fly, making him look even more effortless in his uniquely strange natural beauty way. You’d take the camera out slowly, knowing he’d protest, and of course he did.

- “Please,” you would plead softly, “we don’t get to do things like this all the time. All we use the camera for is to document the houses, and the community work, or when Rick used it for the Savior war… it would be nice to have a nice picture for once.”

- He would look down impassively for a moment. You couldn’t tell it from his face— sometimes the quiet usually meant no— but he was actually deciding on doing it for you.

- Finally he says, “If I gotta take one, then it’s going to be of both of us.” He looks up at you through his hair, hiding the fact that he wanted to see how excited you were going to get. “Don’t need no one thinking I wanted a picture of just myself.”

- It makes you laugh. This is even better actually. A picture of you and him to have; a piece of you and him that will last forever.

- He would also gift you with one of his rare touches.

- Maybe it would start with allowing you to hold onto him while you’re on the back of his bike just a little closer. Or him pushing his neck back into you just the slightest bit more when you rest your head on his shoulder as he rides.

- Then maybe, the hugs would start increasing. Him not only giving you one after you’ve just escaped death yet again, but after he comes home one day from a run, maybe it happens just because now.

- And finally, this would all lead up to a kiss. Perhaps first on the side of your head, in your hair, as he comes home from a long journey one day, until the time finally comes where you both express all the things that have kept in your head about each other for so long, revealing your love.

- It would all commence to the kiss that you always wished would be placed right on your lips. It might just be the best gift of all. But not just because it’s a kiss, but because you finally get to love him in the way you’ve always desired. As your man, as your partner, as your Daryl.

So… this may or may not be a teaser for the next fic? >:) Stay tuned. ♡

do you have prey link hc's i am BEGGING spare vore

YEAH here you go! These are mostly gonna be B0TW and T0TK Link since that's who I talk about most on here, but if you want any other version I'd be happy to do that too. Okay so it might actually take Link a second to warm up to being eaten in a friendly manner if I'm being honest because there are. SO many monsters that would love to make him into a proper meal so in his mind it's a bad thing. At least...until it's very firmly established as something affectionate and kind of silly a few of his friends can do. Then once he warms up to it he's an absolute menace. Cannot ever sit still in someone's insides and I mean he absolutely CAN'T. It's impossible he's just too fidgety and can't keep his hands to himself to save his life. That I feel like is true of every Link, but especially our lovely B0TW/T0TK gremlin boy because look at him. Even his idle animations show him constantly stretching, bouncing, and shaking his little hands, so staying still in a stomach really isn't an option. Unless he falls asleep of course which is, a very big probability. Especially if he's bored. Something I think might be a little funny is how easy it would be to startle him by just, grabbing him up. For a normally rather stoic hero it seems very easy to catch him off guard in the games, and I feel like that would very much apply to any time a friend decided to grab him for a snack, even if they hadn't meant to scare him. He'll make the silliest shocked little face before he realizes what happened and chills out. The biggest culprits of just snatching him would probably be Si.don and Dar.uk because, well look at them they're huge.

For Sid.on it's more of an affectionate Z0ra thing I think. It feels like something they would use to transport very young Z0ra still in their tadpole stage if they had to and a lot of fish use mouth brooding anyways to care for their eggs, so it stands to reason that eating someone might be a fairly understood and acceptable thing. Especially looking at all the stuff that happened with Jabu Ja.bu in previous games. Sooo Sid.on has a tendency to eat Link as a way of catching up with his friend after going a while without seeing him, and honestly Link never really minds it. His insides are soft and make a great bed, and they're warm too, so Link honestly just wishes he was given more of a warning sometimes before getting gulped lmao. Dar.uk tho...he was awful about snatching Link up because he thought it was a bit funny. Gor.on eat pretty much exclusively rocks and minerals, so it's possible they might be completely incapable of processing something like a Hyli.an, especially one that's still alive and kicking. Combine that with how much bigger Dar.uk was than Link and....yeah there was really no reason for him not to eat his tiny friend every once in a while lol. Link was pretty fussy about it because he was NEVER given a warning and always grabbed at an inconvenient time, but he never was genuinely mad about it either. Just playfully annoyed and incredibly wiggly. I feel like Link also gets eaten by various monsters he fights like Hinox, Molduga, and other things like that, but it's waaayyyyyy less friendly or fun for either party

jake gyllenhaal, pansexual, cis male + he/him → isn’t that joachim goldmann? i’ve seen them hanging out with the fairies. i hear they’re 402, but they’ve only been in alexandria for 1 month ago. they seem to be philosophical & efficient, but also selfish & defensive. it’s cool that they’re capable of rock / crystal magic with life-force manipulation!

joachim goldmann was the first born to ahava & etan and known to be a part of the royal court in their region 

while they weren’t the royal family, his mother was cousins to the king & queen and that was close enough for them 

his father ran the military faction and was known to drill that persistence, determination, and need to protect those around them into joachim 

while his younger brother, micah, was able to follow the beat of his own drum 

still, he lived a good life and never had to ask for anything, so he was happy

when he came of age he started to rise up the ranks in their group’s army and then took over for his father 

then he started to travel, taking nearby countries by surprise or making peace treaties so that they could all live in harmony 

during his travels he came close with other fairies and even dragons, spending time with both kinds 

namely, he had an affair with greyson around 200 years ago and then fell for another fairy by the name of florian 

ironically both were softer than him who was always considered to be strict or rough around the edges to those that he didn’t know 

his romances even led to a child, paxton, who he came to love and adore

again, he couldn’t show others how much he actually cared for someone because that not only would show weakness, but provide a target if one of his enemies wanted to attack him 

recently, he decided to come to alexandria when he heard that it was a safe haven for supernaturals (not at all believing it) 

that’s when he came face to face with multiple exes and his son 

he’s decided to work as a miner, getting some of the precious crystals out of the caves, but he also wants to see if he could make a group of warriors out of the town and make sure that they don’t get too weak

CHONGYUN EDITION

does not know what sleep is.

HALF TRUE. chongyun does know sleep. the problem is chongyun doesn't sleep MUCH. their sleep schedule is so backwards and inconsistent, that chongyun is constantly exhausted and worn out, on account of all the work they do. when chongyun does manage to sleep, he's out like a light.

is an introvert

TRUE. chongyun is socially awkward and does not manage friendships and people well. they prefer to be alone most of the time, and not even to recharge their battery. trying to manage social cues and conversing takes all the energy out of chongyun, so he prefers to just be by himself, or at least in the company of trusted people most of the time.

is unemployed

FALSE. chongyun is liyue's most renowned exorcist, and some of that fame even extends to sumeru, if you dig deep enough into the lore. chongyun is constantly working; so many people require his time and attention, and want him to cleanse their home and/or friends of evil spirits and demons. downtime? what downtime? chongyun is 24/7 on the clock.

chongyun needs a nightlight to sleep

HALF TRUE. chongyun can sleep at any point, any time, any condition. complete darkness where one can barely see in front of their face? sure! but some lights definitely help, as chongyun prefers to see into the darkness and what might be lurking within. not that he's scared of anything, he just likes having some sort of light, especially if he's alone and can't easily see where he's walking.

tackles and wrestles people to show affection

TRUE. yes. chongyun loves to fight, he loves hand to hand combat, and loves even more when people indulge him. fight with him, and he'll be a fiercely loyal friend.

is a great artist

HALF TRUE. to a point! chongyun paints their own talismans. all the symbols and whatnot are carefully painted by hand, by chongyun. while chongyun can't draw in the traditional sense, they have mastered hand lettering and symbols and runes in order to perform their craft.

will go feral yang!drunk. watch out!

TRUE. when their yang energy takes over, chongyun becomes a more wild, almost out of control version of themself. it's still chongyun, they are still somewhat in control, just without any inhibitions holding them back. when chongyun returns to normal later on, they remember everything they've done and are incredibly apologetic over it.

if he likes someone, he will give them a pretty rock.

TRUE. it depends on like. chongyun does have a collection of rocks and minerals he collects, like cor lapis and jade. if he is close to someone, he'll give them the shiniest rock from his personal collection.

is gay.

FALSE. chongyun is actually bisexual. he likes both men AND women. though he does have a slight preference toward men.

is smart but also very stupid.

FALSE. honestly, i don't really agree with this one. i don't like that chongyun's personality in-game has been stagnant with zero development whatsoever. so no, chongyun is not stupid. chongyun is just very smart, both street smart AND booksmart. they can play dumb to appease their friends, but chongyun isn't naive or gullible.

Ok humans magic au goooooo

I don't wanna do elemental magic since there's already an avatar avatar au and it's absolutely lovely

I don't really wanna do a harry potter au because 1. Already done and 2. Hate that goddamn woman sm

But unfortunately that's all i got. Im so sorry

So ill just be making things up w very few rules and whatever

So magic. Everyone can do it. It's everything, from water to electricity to light to dark.

There's no escaping the mystical forces.

Im being basic and deciding that there are 3 levels of ppl who do magic: lower, middle and upper mages.

How do you level up? Its easy!

You die.

You straight up pass away.

Yeahhhhh death plays a very big role in this magic au. Inspired by the na'vi a lil bit here. Death is their rebirth. With every death, there is a new beginning. There is no escaping death, the same way there is no escaping life nor magic. There's no guarantee that you will be reborn after death as a more powerful being, but if you want more power, then that's just a risk you have to take.

Your death needs to have meaning. You can't just get hit by a car and come back as a middle water mage or smth.

After the first death, you're noticeably less human than before. You typically gain animalistic features–, fangs, horns, feathers, talons, scales etc.

Using this to make my human avatar ocs look actually cool. Sick of camo fr 

Yes they dress weird. They go absolutely bonkers with their fits. Practicality is an option when magic is involved.

Now moving on to the Sullys, recoms n RDA.

Jake wasn't really a mage, but thanks to him sorta rebirthing as a na'vi, he's a middle mage. I'm thinking earth–he's strong, constant, reliable, like dirt. This means that he gets the animal traaaaaaaits!!!

He might have lion-like attributes, crom him being a father trying his best. This means having a bit of a mane, bigger teeth, eyes w slits.

He can control the earth around him just fine. Need to bridge a gap? Just move some dirt. Think of anime, he can do the spikes from the ground thing, blah blah blah

He controls minerals too. This means he gives his family the most beautiful rocks in existence.

He uses it to form quick shelters from the earth to protect others during raids. He burrows into the ground and forms tunnels so they can move undetected and safely move the wounded

He'll use mud and dirt as puppets, making little shows for all the kids. They love it sm, they adore seeing the mini direhorses and ikrans he makes and the stories he tells. The only person who succeeds past his storytelling prowess is Mo'at.

Now onto his kiddos, Lo'ak:

Hasn't done his iknimaya yet, so not yet reborn.

He's showing early signs of magic tho. 

He heals a bit quicker than normal, so that's exciting. 

Kiri;

I dont think shes been reborn yet, but magic eywa Kiri bb

Like her mom, she controls plant life. She doesn't even need to connect to a plant in order for it to do anything for her.

She senses life all around and inside her

I think she can hardly wait until she manages to be reborn. Its her chance to be closer to Grace.

Will do the others soon. Maybe. Its nap time tho so dont count on it.

April is an interesting month for me, in a way or another. Two years already, back on April 7th was where my hypefixation with BW started; and on the following year, 6 days after things would instead switch towards the spanish team instead.

...Unfortunately I've already missed the first date by quite a long margin, but I'm still not giving up on posting something related to it. So, just like I did with BruShine, I'd like to share a JeanQuin draft too ;')

----

While Geology isn't Jean's thing at all, he enjoys to see Quincy getting all enthusiastic with it. Seeing the value of the soil and its minerals wasn't he ever expected to get into, but Quin's passion was enough to hook him in. Now when the two are apart, even the simplest things such as tiny rocks at the beach remind Jean of him. So when re-meeting in Perth, he likes to bring Quincy collected things that could be of his interest.

One day, within the things brought there was a little blue stone. Jean had seen many similar to those since he was a child, but he never had the interest of knowing what they were (And its not like Reef or Nice had actual good answers either). Now with a rock expert at hand, he finally wanted to get an answer.

...Though for his surprise, turns out these stones weren't a natural wonder, sadly, just glass that once fell in the sea and ended differently on the shore. Despite the dissappointment, Quincy decided to reveal he also had been collecting them a while ago. So, they decided to collaborate by merging their collections together; increasing as reunions go by.

Time passes and passes, and in one meeting, Quincy brings a surprise for Jean: A seaglass bracelet made with the stones from their private collection. Turns out one of Quincy's younger sisters had gotten into jewlery recently, begging her brother to use such a pretty material for her craft. Quincy accepted, but as long as she also made a gift for his boyfriend.

Warmed by the gesture, Jean went and put it on his right arm, maybe with some help from the blondie. And for the cherry on top, Quincy himself shows off his matching one!

So, from now on, those adorable crafts serve as reminders of each other when they are apart.

----

Jean barely takes off his bracelet. Perhaps maybe before a match or hard training of course, since he's rather afraid of it falling off and/or breaking. But during his everyday life, he just brings it wherever he goes, no matter how casual it it. Perhaps to the point even his friends notice it too. Reef for example points it out at every occassion, enjoying to call it a "huge colorful wedding ring". While at first Jean would shun him off by the dumb joke. with time he came to like the comparison. It served as a good reminder of something he wanted to do later on.

Quincy meanwhile likes to show off his bracelet too, tho he does take it off during his Judo classes, rough excersive routines, or in any of his possible Outback trips. At some point in between his geology classes, the bracelet almost dissappeared from its sight and it made him go almost in full panic mode. The campus became a hell of a mess that day. Fortunately the object was found in decent shape, turns out it just fell due to a loosely tied knot. He needs to be more careful with that...

So tell me about The Boomtown Boys? What crime have they committed? Where the idea came from?When I saw them I literally felt loved them already and take your time<)

The Boomtown Boys have all committed destruction of property in their own "unique ways" to say the very least, and surprisingly enough, they've all committed their very acts on the same day unintentionally, and the three were all sent to the same jail into the same jail cell where they all just so happen to meet for the first time.

Bobby Bomb was a short-tempered demolition worker, who take part in blowing up old buildings in a city for construction workers to build new ones in. One day, he was ordered to blow up another old building during one of his times away from work, and so he carelessly planted bombs inside one of the empty buildings without double checking with the others. 'Cause of his stubbornness to listen to what the other workers have to say, he blew up and wrecked the wrong empty building, that was the newly constructed one the others tried to tell him about, which in turn fell down and destroyed parts of the city. 💣

Dylan Dynamite was a cautious gold miner, who works in a mine shaft with a bunch of other mine workers digging out any gold they could find. He plans out where to set explosives in carefully in the mines to create new areas to mine gold in, in which some of the mine workers are a bit reckless when it comes to solely looking for good. Then one day, one of the workers tried smoking a cigar by lighting a match while on the job, which Dylan quickly took noticed and took the lit match to toss away. But the wind blew the match around and into a mine cart full of explosives and ignited all the fuses, Dylan panicked from the sudden turn of events as he pushed the cart away from them out of quick thinking, only for it to then roll down into the mine shaft, which let out a giant explosion and cause the entire gold mine to collapse and filled up of broken rocks. 🧨

And Carl Cannon was a big strong member of a pirate crew, who he used to set sail on the big blue sea for their own adventures, which he enjoys sailing across and especially seeings the whales they happen to come across. During one of their travels with a whole loot of treasures, he lay eyes on a nice lady who was part of a royal ship while passing by, as he formed a big soft little crush on the woman and secretly lended some of his crew's loot to hers in secret whenever their ships stops by an island together. One day, as Carl was admiring the lady on the royal ship while passing by on his crew's ship, he then took a smell of the big sea breeze as caused his "nose" to itch and let out a big sneeze. In which the big sneeze caused a cannonball to be fired out of him and aimed directly at the royal ship, causing it to go down under and all of its passengers including the lady he likes. 🏴‍☠️

I mostly been brainstorming some bosses and their themes that would fit into their level on another Inkwell Isle they're location on, but after watching the "Jailbroken" episode from The Cuphead Show" and listening to the catchy song "Lucky Ducks" from The Bob's Burgers Movie, the idea of a boss level taking place in a jailhouse where you fight a small group of prisoners came to mind. The name "Boomtown" was heavily inspired by an actual place called "Boom Town" from Minecraft Story Mode, that consist of inhabitants who are known for their explosives, in which the idea of the small group of prisoners being actual bombs came to be. And thus The Boomtown Boys were made!

Also thanks for loving their first appearance, btw, Angie! I wanted to draw how each of their crime looked, but I might do so some other time. I got their reference sheet in the works, which I hope to get done soon enough. ^^

[croissantlover24]

"What do you want to show me?" you asked, craning your neck to glance over your employer's shoulder at what he was working on. Moon shoved blueprints in your face. "What do you think?" After flinching from the sudden movement, you held the blueprints out in front of you. You felt dizzy at the sight; it was all far over your head. Something about the mind?

Uh oh!

"What do you mean, sir?" You turned to face him. "How do they look?" he asked you. The baffled expression on your face must've told him all he needed to know because he scoffed, shook his head, and ripped the documents away from you. "Never mind," he muttered, returning to his written ramblings.

Moon....

"Okay?" You gave him an odd look. Realizing that getting a clear answer from him was a fruitless endeavor, you instead decided to rummage through a closet for cleaning supplies. Perhaps you could salvage what of Moon's laboratory nature had reclaimed. You pulled out a pair of shears to use to cut the vines climbing the building's exterior from the top shelf. They had a brown stain on them, but you could probably wash it off. You could not wash it off.

How fun! I looooove brown stains that are hard to wash off!

After shoving it under hot water for at least five minutes now, the stain remained, and you were beginning to feel frustrated.

To clean blood, hot water actually effectively "cooks" the blood to whatever it is on, thus making the stain harder to remove, cold water is better for cleaning blood, I hear!

Taking a deep breath to calm yourself, you pivoted around to face Moon. "Sir?" you called. He turned to face you. "Yes?" His faceplate tilted upside-down. You swallowed in an attempt to hide your discomfort at the uncanny motion.

LOL

You handed him the shears. "This stain won't come off. What is it?" "Chocolate," he replied instantly, though you could sense an uncharacteristic stiffness in his voice.

How fun! I love chocolate!

Your brows furrowed. "Why were you cutting chocolate with shears?" He tensed for a moment before stuttering—wait, stuttering? That's entirely unlike him—out, "I didn't have a knife." Your eyes narrowed as you shoved your hand into the collection of drying silverware and pulled out a knife. "Really?" you deadpanned.

LMAO??

Moon froze. "I didn't see that one," he mumbled out before directing his attention back to his desk. "Hey, wait," you said, exasperated. Noticing that he was ignoring you, however, you just sighed and took the shears back. At least the stain wasn't fresh.

Yeah it was from like decades ago I hear

His faceplate was still upside-down as you walked out of the laboratory and pulled at the foliage outside. After about an hour of fighting what felt like Mother Nature's wrath itself, you finally made something slightly more presentable out of the cubic building. The white finally looked like the feathers of a dove rather than the dull grey it had been before.

HDFGJHDFHGJ Mother Nature says: fuck this robot and fuck his lab

You were quite proud of your work. You heard the door open as you crawled down the ladder you had used to reach the higher places (which you had found in the back of the exterior for some reason). It seemed you weren't the only one who thought you had done a satisfactory job.

YIPPEE!

"Looks nice," Moon mused woodenly. Of course, it wasn't like you were expecting any emotion out of him, anyway. "Thanks," you—your hand slipped off of the handle of the ladder.

UH OH!

You felt yourself plummet backwards. The wind hissed in your ears like a steaming teapot as you flew by. Just before your head hit the ground, you felt clawed hands catch you. Moon looked down at you as if you were a dull rock amidst a sea of vibrant minerals. He held you up in front of him with the manner of a parent chiding a toddler who had just gotten into the red paint bucket.

PFEHEHEEH

"Watch where you're going," he scolded. "Clumsy." "Sorry." Your eyes darted away to avoid eye contact. You could feel your skin turn red with embarrassment. He put you back down on the ground and wiped dirt off of your clothes. He grabbed your arm and dragged you back inside. "That's enough, janitor," he teased, though his voice came as a snarl that made you tense. "Could I have my assistant back, now, please?"

Oh dear....

"I'm sorry," you said again. He frowned at your fearful tone but said nothing. "You don't have to be afraid of me," he stated dryly. His tone was insistent, like he had been begging you not to be for weeks now. He hadn't. "I'm not," you lied. Your voice trembled.

Uh oh

Your upper arms were restrained by sharp claws from behind you. His cold, metallic fingers dug into your skin. His digits dug into your bones like cheese on a cheese grater. His voice was low in your ear, a silent threat. "What did I say about liars?" he hissed quietly. Your hands trembled in his grip. "I'm sorry."

Oh Reader... dear, you're okay, it's not your fault, okay?

Moon paused. His grasp on you lightened… but was still there. You could still feel it. It wouldn't be difficult for him to kill you. No one would miss you. He'd only have to slit your neck. Just once. Just a slight cut. Just a trivial little slash that would so easily wipe you of your life. He could simply—

Three weeks left

"I'm not a killer," Moon growled, pulling you out of the hurricane of thoughts you had almost thrust yourself into.

"I'm not a killer" - guy who got banned from society for killing

"I never said you were, sir," you remarked, your breaths coming sharply. "You heard people say I was," he deadpanned. "Again, it's not true. I'm not a killer. I would not hurt you."

Uh huh

You took a deep breath. Relax. You were overreacting, of course. Everything was fine. And then you remembered the stain on the shears. Brown. Like dried blood.

DING DING DING!

"Sir," your voice trembled, "what was the stain really?" Moon went silent. "Don't worry about it," he whispered before dragging you by his desk for another week of labor.

Blood, don't be silly Reader

Three weeks left.

WUH OH!

His insanity remained a spectrum. One end, his tone low and cold, a calculation of the perfect way to unsettle you. His tone would seem to mimic the very essence of a cold and biting winter, of being lost in the forest with no light in sight. He would mock your hopelessness (accidentally, though you didn't know that). The other end was loud. Boisterous. Unpredictable. A sudden wild laugh that would last just a second too long. A grin barely too wide. A silence slightly too deafening. He would do a relatively normal action wrong in such a way that something as simple as smiling seemed rooted in hostility. You noticed he liked the latter more.

Hm... Jotting down notes

He only used the former when you did something you didn't like.

I think you meant "when you did something he didn't like" here? I dunno though--

When you got to close to something he didn't want you to know.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

He also favored the second more because of your reaction to it. He found you didn't enjoy sudden movements. You would jump like a mouse caught in a prey trap. You would even yelp sometimes.

Due to all of the fear

… So he tried to catch you off guard as often as possible. It was a game to him: how quickly and often could he make you leap out of your skin? He found it funny. He thought you found it funny. You did not.

Is he stupid or something? /silly

"Assistant!" a voice yelled in your ear, bubbly and overly friendly. Your heart skipped a beat as you swiveled around. Moon cackled at your reaction like it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. You hid your annoyance.

Reader voice: UGHHH this guy again. Thank god I only have a few more weeks until I can quit

"What's got you all jumpy, little lamb?" he asked you, his grin wide and fangs sharp. "Nothing, sir," you ground out through gritted teeth. Nothing at all…

Its the blood, silly!

Remember: Three weeks left. Three weeks left. Three weeks left. Three weeks left.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Final thoughts: I am going to scoop reader out of this fucking place and give them the life they deserve (one full of peace and health and care)

Yessss

Aaaaaaa stupid grammar mistakes </3

Stopppp no spoilers in my asks!! Nobody needs to know the truth yet /lh

Also yes! I used hot water on purpose so it wouldn’t work :)

[eldewinddolly]

Oh dear oh dear. So many things. Here's just a lil snippet : > Artemis still wears suits (sorry fowlblue), but more... vintage ones. I want him to acknowledge that everyone sees him as that "creepy ghost of a Victorian child" and go "oh? alright then" and show up at work looking like a full-on scary baby dandy, most notably ditching the tie for a lavallière (pinned down with a golden Celtic fibula, maybe?) and the loafers for leather laced boots. The vibes? Immaculate. > More acknowledgment that the fairies folklore is Artemis long-standing special interest/hyperfixation since early childhood that even his father's disapproval (bUt mAgiC iSn'T ReAl gRoW uP) couldn't shut down. That child is deeply autistic and it seems like a not too obnoxious and cute way to show it. > MORE 👏 ANGELINE 👏 AND 👏 MENTAL 👏 ILLNESS 👏 > MORE 👏 JULIET 👏 ARTEMIS 👏 FRIENDSHIP 👏 SIBLING-LIKE 👏 RIVALRY 👏 BANTER 👏 TOUGH LOVE 👏 Now for the fairies: > Half-goblin Holly for the win !! Already developed a bit of her backstory in a prev post, but so much fun stuff to alter in the books with that concept. She lives in a goblins neighborhood were only the kids like her, all the adults think she's a traitor and a sell-out. At work she's not as much harassed for being a woman, but almost all the officers hiss-hiss-hiss when they walk past her. Book 2 changes massively, because Holly is absolutely torn by the B'wa Kell rebellion, she feels like she should choose sides but doesn't want to. Artemis can bond with her on being branded as a criminal just because of your birth certificate. I repeat : Artemis can bond with her on being branded as a criminal just because of your birth certificate. > Let the fairies be just as judgmental, racist as they are in the books, but let them be called out on it and damn, just explore it. They call themselves pacifists yet they are are run by an all-powerful police-state. It's actually an amazing idea but it's just... left there. Explore it ! Corruption and immorality isn't just a humans' problem ! > Justice for the goblins. Everyone believes they are the stupidest fairy family? Fine. Maybe they are - but does that mean they deserve to be treated like inferior beings, only worthy of mockery and disrespect ? Nope. Also, according to who's standards are they the stupidest fairy family ? There are so many forms of intelligence. Maybe theirs just don't correspond to the golden standards of the elves and centaurs but nobody bothered to try and understand that. > More fairy and supernatural folklore from various cultures incorporated ! Banshees, selkies, onryo, aswangs, changelings... So many possibilities ! And bonus round, if I were to adapt AF to the screen (in an animated series because I do believe this is the way) : > Make it a mockumentary true-crime show, from the fairies' POV. Featuring interviews from all the main cast, video and sound archives (from the LEP ? from the Fowl family ?), reconstitutions... hell, even actual memories extracted from the Fowl gang after TEC. Not very ethical I know, but again - a true-crime show. > Controversial take, but I would majorly revamp dwarves. No more dwarves, they just are not a fairy species. Mulch would stay more or less the same character in terms of personality, but I would change his species from dwarf to troll - a nordic troll, the ones that change to stone when hit by the sun and change back at night. Make them a mineral species, that are literally made of dirt, rock and moss - how does Mulch because a burglar then ? Well, he's made of dirt and sand. He can sip through walls. He can shapeshift, maybe. That idea is still very much a WIP, but even though I know it's iconic, I don't thing a farting dwarf can actually translate from books to cinema. I don't see how it can't be anything else but extremely cringe. Let's stop there for now, but yeah. I have a lot of more or less unhinged ideas :D

Y’know what? I’m curious, and I wanna talk again-

Fellow AF fans, tell me how you would make Artemis Fowl if you were behind the writing wheel. It can be anything from “Juliet features more heavily in the plot” to reframing the LEP and fairies as a whole. I want to know!

I’ll give you mine- I’d make Artemis more interested in magical creatures than tech alone, and I’d have him wear suits less!

[worriedvision]

Here's the first ending to the poly tighnari and Cyno fic, this was the intended ending before the Zhongli discussion was a thing lol! Ill add in the link for the fic here when I can!

--

A few weeks later was when Cyno discovered you were no longer in Sumeru. He believed that you must have had something come up with your work, and the important thing could have waited, but there was something that didn't feel right. The first person he started dating, and this was the first time you hadn't even seen him once in weeks. It's not like he had to try too hard to see you, always finding it endearing when he saw his first love.

But then he overheard a rumour that you left for work in Liyue. He would have dismissed it if it weren't for the fact this was around the same time you had asked to talk to him and presumably Tighnari, the other part of the relationship. He didn't think you would have went to work in the chasm, solely because you were entirely unfamiliar with the area, but from a work point of view the Chasm was really good to work.

Then he finds out that Tighnari looked into it, and found out quickly that you had left.

"Why have you been lying to me?" Cyno asks, hurt evident in his voice. Tighnari winces, this sound being unpleasant. "I've been worried sick for them, and I'm sure you love them as much as I do."

Tighnari doesn't respond for a good few seconds.

"To put it simply, it looks like they must have had a change of heart." Tighnari responds, hoping Cyno would understand his perspective. From his point of view, you weren't able to keep up with him and Cyno, and you never looked happy especially when your boyfriend had changed how he was with you.

"...You saw them leave, didn't you?" Cynos voice cracks, Tighnari nodding. Cyno takes a deep breath, slowly processing the fact that you were now gone from his life, and Cyno scolds himself for treating Tighnari like an exciting new boyfriend and you like the safe lover that he 'always' had.

Tighnari watches as his boyfriend walks away, a tight feeling in his chest. He knew Cyno wouldn't be able to stay mad, but he didn't feel right about it. He should have actually tried to get to know you, past the stuff everyone knew, but he shut you out when you tried to talk to him.

You had been joining a new team of miners that were older and more experienced, and when you were first there, they did quiz you. It was nothing malicious, just for them to check you had a good enough head on your shoulders to navigate through the caves until they went too deep. Satisfied with your answers, they treat you like the 'kid' of the group.

A hobby you had back in Sumeru was stone carving. Sometimes, you had carved small patterns into stones to pass the time when a rock had to be merged with some other material for identification purposes before completing a job. One you always carved to signify where you had been was a four leaf sigil, similar to those ones that hovered. Sure, you didn't have a vision, but this allowed you to at least see the stone carving.

It's like a ritual for you - you had stones ready to deploy, and the miners you worked with found it endearing and cute so they teased you, but they left the stones where they were.

The cavern you were exploring started to show signs of instability, and everyone with exception of the oldest member of the group wanted to leave. When the others go to move back, you see that the bloke wasn't going to leave.

"I'm staying, you guys go ahead." You call out, the man turning to you and placing a hand on his hip.

"Kid, you got a long life ahead of you if you leave." He scolds you. Seeing your gaze not falter, he shakes his head. "Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you."

You both walk along, him showing you the picture of his loving wife and his adorable son. The way both of them have genuine smiles, it tells you that this man had people who loved him. You ignore the pain in your heart, listening as he starts rambling about the achievements his 5 year old had done already and a hearty laugh when he finishes his chat, putting his wallet away before he looks over.

"You must have someone yourself." He pokes your side, you realising he was asking about who you had close to you.

"...Promise you won't judge?" The man nods, encouraging you to continue. "Well, back in Sumeru I did have a boyfriend. At first it was really nice, he had his work as a Ma-" you clear your throat, stopping yourself from telling this man about Cynos work. "Well, I can't exactly explain what he does. A really incredible guy."

"I'm feeling a big but in the air." The man says, you nodding your head.

"At one point, he got interested in another guy. It wasn't cheating, it was only that I saw the way he looked at Tighnari. I asked him to have the guy join the relationship, thinking maybe it would be nice." You think to yourself, unsure what else to say. "I tried to get closer to him myself, to know my 'other boyfriend' better, but he couldn't stand my job. My lover stopped giving me the affection he once did, and well I knew that I lost him the moment that man came along." You say. "And that's what brought me to the Chasm."

The man across from you nods, silently agreeing to keep this to himself. You both walk on, and he asks you to tell him when you want to start dating again. It was almost like he himself knew how painful this stuff could be. You keep placing the rocks, your mind screaming at you that these were going to be especially important.

The man falls through the ground, and you instinctively grab him, not following safety guidelines as you grab his side. He understands what you're doing, but not why, simply deciding to hold onto your side as you both fall. You close your eyes, praying that someone could figure out how to get enough elemental energy into the stones of yours to get enough four leaf clovers to get out.

--

Tighnari gets an urgent request to run along to the opening of the Chasm, and he rushes along with the fear in his mind that you were hurt somehow.

The sound is overwhelming for Tighnari, and he almost turns back until he realises people are calling for two names, one of which being yours. Tighnari picks up his pace, grabbing his bow as one stone in particular stands out. It does sound silly in hind sight, but Tighnari got an idea. He infused a bow with dendro, aiming and taking a shot.

His mouth falls open, gasping as he watches four leaf clovers spawning in. His ears pick up on someone using the device, and he keeps aiming and shooting at the rock as he jogs along to get to where the first leaf spawned. Chances are, neither you nor the guy had a vision, so he would have to be the elemental source. He spots the line that implies someone is using the teleporting device, and he expects to see a second one despite not hearing it. When he realises you're holding onto someone, he can't stop himself from dropping everything and sprinting towards you.

You drop to the ground the moment you see the surface, your older colleague pulling you safely away from the edge. Hearing footsteps, your eyes close out of exhaustion after the prior events, thinking it was simply your colleagues.

"Sweetheart?" Tighnari hushes out, not able to ignore how the man you had saved with you glared at him "Can you hear me?" Tighnari doesn't even realise he's just given you a pet name, simply administering the best care he could.

"You." He hears someone say. Reluctantly, his head looks up, regretting his actions when he makes direct eye contact with the guy. "So you're the one they were talking about." Tighnari's head tilts, him not understanding the question. "Haven't you done enough?"

Tighnari feels you stir in his grasp, and he turns his attention to you.

"Honey, I'm here." Tighnari hushes out, you not leaning away. "Are you feeling okay?" You groan out, clearly not wanting to stay awake for now.

"I'll be taking them back to Sumeru." Tighnari states, holding you in his arms as he stands up. "Rest assured, I willy take care of them."

"Stop playing with their heart, you twerp." The man growls, his wife reprimanding him before she gets Tighnari to stop for a moment.

"My husband told me about that stone, something about them carving those personally." His wife starts. "Please, I want to thank the both of you. Them for somehow carving those stones to be effective, and you for uh... Doing what that was." She laughs lightly, Tighnari nodding before leaving.

--

You wake up in Tighnaris bed, and you already knew you were back in Sumeru, specifically the region where Tighnari stayed. You get up, holding back the gasp out of the immense pain you got, before you try to sneak out.

"And where do you think youre going?" You hear Tighnari tease, before he gets up and lightly places you back onto bed. "Morning, sleepyhead."

"I need to go back to the Chasm. I have work there, and I need to move on." You explain, crossing your arms before wincing. Tighnari can't help but smirk, him handing you some medication to take for pain relief.

"No you don't." Tighnari states. "After a discussion, your boss and I came to an agreement. You'd create those stones, and I'll even let you get the stone samples from Sumeru yourself, and these would be shipped to them for their own uses." Tighnari explains.

"That solves one problem, but it doesn't change the fact I can't get over Cyno." You explain, Tighnari nodding.

"Well, I did shut you out." Tighnari admits, sitting next to your bed before continuing. "Let's give this a real chance, I think we have more in common that we've thought." He smiles, you nodding before starting to talk.

--

Cyno visits Tighnari a week after the incident, and he wasn't mentally ready to hear your voice. He hears it, and he fails to ground himself before he runs over to the source of the noise, that being laughter from Tighnaris place. Opening the door, there you both are. Tighnari looking rather happy with himself, successfully making you laugh and you leaning into his embrace.

Cyno enters the room, and the both of you look up. Cyno feels like he's in a dream, he had been trying to stop thinking of you but nothing worked. He reaches out, touching you to make sure you weren't an illusion as he stares blankly. After he pauses, he wraps his arms around Tighnari, crushing you in between the both of them. Hearing you yelp, he pulls away apologising before he holds you closely.

"You won't believe what happened" Tighnari stated, him starting to explain what happened while you held Cyno in your arms. Cyno doesn't seem to want to let go, he still think you must not actually be here, especially so close to Tighnari. It felt like he was on cloud nine, both of his lovers finally realising they were also compatible.
