#adam route

[thefirstcourtesan]

Tina knowing and Mason as bff on Adam’s route is the best. They are telling Adam what he needs to hear, especially M. “I’m not as cruel as you” hit hard.

Quick question for people's twc detectives: in what ways have they changed for the better after meeting and joining ub? And have some aspects of them changed for the worse?👀

"...there’s something star-crossed about these two. There is a deep connection there, but the turmoil, war and politics of this world are pretty intent on pulling them away from each other." - Joey Batey (x)

Yeah...

Just so you know, if you're a guy with a 3 syllable name that begins with "R", and you so happen to experience a strong case of love at first sight for someone that sort of happens to be named "Juliet" or "Julian", you might find yourself facing a few obstacles getting in the way of your relationship.

Just saying!

The fact that N would have (reluctantly) backed off had they known about A’s feelings for the detective from the beginning, but they were so blinded by the tunnel vision their own interest in the detective created that by the time they realized A’s feelings N was too deeply enamored to even entertain the thought of stepping aside

The fact that A is so deeply in denial about their obvious feelings and so determined to not get in the way of N’s budding romance with the detective that they have convinced themself that their interest is virtually undetectable and therefore unknown to N, when in reality N has all the pieces they need but is purposely delaying putting them together because they don’t want to face the reality that they and their best friend have fallen deeply for the same person

WE ARE STARS (NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN) | 0.8k

PAIRING: a. du mortain ✗ gn!reader (gn!detective) ;

SYNOPSIS: adam du mortain and the terrifying nature of longing or author has only played the a du mortain route and now is suffering the consequences ;

WARNINGS: mild gore imagery and religious symbolisms, description of self sabotage and self hatred, self deprecating language;

NOTES: trying something new and dipping my toes in a different fandom. writing this was very fun, despite the angsty feel of it. i tried to write this in novlr, it was okay. cross posted on my AO3.

── .✦ MASTERLIST ; NAVIGATION.

THE FOREST OUTSIDE OF THE STAINED WINDOW RESTS QUIETLY TONIGHT. Not a single sound rings out in the warehouse. Adam’s eyes stay locked onto the glass. The different colors bleed into each other as his gaze bores into them, a quiet sort of desperation clinging to every edge of the fractured light.

Despite the silence, his mind cannot find rest. Thoughts creep in, insidious, filling every corner of his mind. Thoughts of you. How can one person invade another so completely? You’ve bewitched him, there’s no other explanation. Your infuriating smile, your ridiculous jokes—

We can burn forever (never coming back again, never coming back again)

Before we're gone (never coming back again, never coming back again)

His throat tightens as warmth invades him, uninvited. He hates that he seeks out your voice, your gaze. And yet, he craves it. Craves the way your eyes find his in a crowd, as if you see him, really see him.

“Maybe it’ll grow on you.”

“Like a tumor, you mean?”

He can still hear your voice from that day at the diner, your laughter so close to his. The sun was drenching you in gold, framing you in a halo of light. He can’t tell if it was the sun warming his skin or if it was you.

And in that light, you were something otherworldly, untouchable. A saint, and he—what was he? A sinner. A broken thing gazing up at something far too good for him. You, a creature of unwavering hope, of impossible strength. His chest aches because he can’t reach for you. You pull him closer, but he resists. He can’t—won’t—bring the darkness he carries into your light. He’s terrified that if he does, your brightness will expose everything. It’ll show him for what he truly is—leave him bare, stripped of his defenses.

“This shouldn’t be your life. You deserve…” He swallows, the words catching in his throat. “You deserve more.”

You deserve more than him.

The memory of your skin, bruised and broken, haunts him. The cuts on your arms that he yearns to heal with his hands, with his lips. There’s something delicate in it—a sweetness so fierce it threatens to consume him whole. The feeling is like a vice around his throat, choking him with need. He wants to be closer, to merge with you, because some part of him knows—you would fit perfectly. But it’s a violent kind of love, tangled in pain. Loving you is a barbed wire wrapped tight around his neck; it’s the only thing that keeps him breathing, but it’s also what strangles him. He wishes he could unravel himself in front of you, strip away his defenses, stand naked before your candlelight and not even flinch.

I remember you

You look like forever

But he can’t. He can’t let you see him for what he is. He can’t love you the way he wants to, the way you deserve. His love feels like a curse, like a blade pressed to your skin. It’s poison, something that’ll rot you from the inside out. How can he let you carry that?

You make it impossible for him to turn away, though. You beg him—without words, without sound—just with the way you look at him. He knows you’re asking for something he can’t give. You want to believe this is right. You want him to tell you it’s okay to love him back. But how can he promise that when he’s certain he’ll ruin you? How can he believe that your love will survive after you see what he truly is?

“I don’t think you’re a monster, Adam.”

“Maybe you should.”

Run so fast

Run through the weather

He knows he should hate the way you look at him. The way your face lights up when you see him. It makes him feel—just for a moment—like he’s something worth looking at, like he’s someone’s hope, someone’s person. It makes him feel wanted. But he doesn’t deserve that.

A hundred days, you're my man

Of bright light, away, away, hey!

His body betrays him. He wants to run to you, to close the distance between you both, because you—you are his hope. You’re his home, the altar he kneels at. You make him want things he’s long denied himself. You make him believe it’s possible to crave something good, something pure. He can feel his walls collapsing, his defenses crumbling to dust as he reaches for you. You promise you won’t burn him, but can he trust it? Can he trust you with what’s left of him?

I want a hundred days

Of bright light, hey, hey, away!

His eyes remain locked on your figure through the stained glass. The sunlight pours over you like it did that day, and it feels almost as if he could touch it, touch you. His fingers graze the glass, the warmth bleeding through. So close, but never close enough. He presses harder, desperate to feel you, to reach you.

Away, away, hey!

Away, away, hey!

The sun’s warmth is on his fingertips, but he knows it’ll never be enough.

While there was a lot of pain and longing in A’s route, there were some super sweet, soft moments too. Like A making sure the detective had coffee before combat training.

Even this fight, after learning the detective revealed the vampires secret to Tina, is sweet because of how A says “our family”.

The sweetness of the route almost makes the pain worth it. At least, now we are getting more and more of these moments.

[itsmistyeyedbi]

The detectives love interest calming and comforting them does so much to my heart and the "I'm here for you" throughline is perfect, but the bff ones also do shit to my heart🥺

It's Morgan, Farah, Nate and Adam respectively and my little heart almost burst🥺

Juliette Ferrars is the literal representation of "looks like a cinnamon roll-could actually kill you"💀💀

Thought I'd send an ask to respond, hope that's okay! I don't play the love triangle cause I'm too weak to handle that angst & messiness 😭 I could not handle that, plus F's reaction to it 💔 but respect to everyone braving that route 🫡

It’s very okay! Thank you for sending this ask, I love getting them and love hearing from you! (and for my friend who sent me one the other day, I have been thinking about it and will respond tomorrow!)

The LT is definitely its own beast, and it really does get so angsty. There is so much tension, so many steely green eyed looks or woeful brown eyed looks.

And I’ve only done an N-leaning one though have made a few Ava choices in the f!LT which were hard) - to play it, you really do have to concede to your detective having feelings for A as well as N. It can lean one way, but it does involve both of them

I haven’t done an A-leaning, and that one worries me the most. I thought I could pick A for the bakery in b3, but the idea of N’s confusion was just too much

And F. This route truly does involve all of UB, and besides A and N, F really is so hurt by everything - the idea that holding back feelings and not being open and honest breaking their family apart is really so dreadful to them

I have some scenes I kept that I’ll put in another post, but while it’s all up in the air, everyone stands to lose … eventually

That being said, I love the potential messiness of the LT in b4, especially since those N scene stay the same (however, if your detective agent isn’t with N, it’s an awkward scene but it’s also really cute and sweet). I will post the screenshots soon!

I’m really looking forward to how it goes in b4! I’m hoping there’s a hop off!

It’s a hard route for sure, but I am here to play it for you all. Let me know if there are any questions!
