#also I made little to no attempts to proof-read or fix any of my grammar in this so it's probably a bit of a mess sorry

I began my tenure of Overseer of Gerbilgod in the year 155.
1st Granite, Early Spring, 155
Tumblr media
I was immediately struck with the horrors! A vicious weretortoise bolting directly for the fortress entrance. My first order of business would be to take down this beast.
Just kidding! I have no clue what to do, nor do I care. Plenty of tasty dogs out there and a useless angry fisherdwarf.
Tumblr media
As it turns out the weretortoise was almost completely useless in battle and was able to be taken out by a bunch of useless civilians with only one casualty. However it seems a bunch of dwarves were in combat and now may be infect with the curse.
Now of course I could simply expel these dwarves, but I have a more interesting idea in mind.
There was a few poets and others who I have no control over who seem to have got infected so just kind of hoping they leave.
While I prepare that there was a number of general fortress administrative businesses to attend to.
Tumblr media
There was an unfortunate number of petitions to get through. All rejected because they sucked, except of the petition for a temple by the Order of Embracing.
With that all sorted I decided to unpause again (still 1st granite) and long behold!
Tumblr media
Wonderful! the perfect time for a siege.
2nd Granite, Early Spring, 155
I don't know how burrows work in the new version. Those idiots better know how to move.
The goblins all seem well armored and skilled, although only totaling about 12 goblins.
3rd Granite, Early Spring, 155
Tumblr media
Idiot fishdwarves server as good cannon fodder. We are creatures of earth and stone! Those who dare defile the good dwarven name with fishing get what they deserve.
Decided to just set the military out against them because it's a smaller siege than I anticipated and they probably will be fine.
Tumblr media
the trap hall does seem to be doing a good job at trapping everyone but the goblins (heard rumors from a previous overseer that the hall is hostile to local dwarves).
I think it's caught a few dogs in the system.
4th Granite, Early Spring, 155
Siege seems to have been broken with only a few causalities. I think that's a success at least.
Back to the fortress business and there is a temple to build. This of course is The Order of Embracing who worship Ano, the god of fertility and love.
There is of course the rather aptly shape 'Giant Cock room', although that is currently filled with animals.
Tumblr media
In the end I decided to go for a simply heart design on the floor below the star temple. While I'm sure there are many hilarious phallic objects I could have made for the temple of fertility and love I thought this was a better option.
Tumblr media
There seem to be a few injured dwarves, worryingly some of the sacrifices dwarves who fought the weretortoise. Hopefully they recover before the next full moon.
26th Granite, Early Spring, 255
Tumblr media
So it turns out there were two travellers that was infected with the weretortoise curse. Nothing I can really do at the point.
Tumblr media
Also one of the dwarves from the hospital who was yet to leave to the sacrifice room ended up turning as well.
I'm going to remove all visitors from the fort in an attempt to remove anyone who may be infected.
Results: All the were-tortoises were quickly killed, although I am yet to check if there were any infections. I have carefully sifted through the combat logs to either expel any children bitten and get the remaining bitten dwarves into the sacrifice squad.
There is also now a tavern brawl occurring.
23rd Slate, Mid Spring, 155
Turns out there are 11 weretortoises in the fort. My best efforts to contain them all seem to have failed. The sacrafice chamber has four of them contained but preparations for the ritual are not going well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A collection of the weretortoises. A lot seem to be in places that can be locked down and contained.
most seem to have been killed successfully however I am also too lazy to attempt to look through all the combat logs to find all instances of citizens being bitten, particularly given it proved to be unsuccessful with both one and four weretortoises.
I have simply decided to expel anyone in the vicinity of a weretortoise corpse that is also injured. I was hoping to do more interesting stuff involving sacraficing the were tortoises to forgotten beast although it seems futile. I would rather keep the fortress intact for now.
With everyone injured out of the fortress the current population is 107. Any visitors who were injured I was unable to do anything for. I was also unable to evict one of the monster hunters and the mayor. They shall be added to the sacrifice collection.
Currently anyone else injured has been locked in the hospital with the assumption that they are a weretortoise.
14th Felsite, Late Spring, 155
Tumblr media
A new forgotten beast has appeared in the third cavern layer. I believe it is stuck in the caverns for now so hopefully it'll be fine to ignore.
There also seems to be a bit of a rotting corpse problem right now.
21st Felsite, Late Spring, 155
The weretortoise problem seems to be resolving itself, only two wild weretortoises and I have continues to expel all those that are injured. I shall continue to keep the hospital as a quarantine zone for the time being.
Tumblr media
One of the sacrafices also went up against the burninator, although seems to have been quickly killed off.
Tumblr media
One of the exiles seems to have returned as well. They were killed by a bunch of war dogs and attack no citizens.
Current population: 96
9th Hematite, Early Summer, 155
Tumblr media
you know what I thought would be a great and awesome idea. Capturing the Burninator. Unfortunately all the dwarves are completely useless and didn't bother flicking the lever (probably all too busy being "upset") when needed. Anyways, this should all go well.
11th Hematite, Early Summer 155
Good news everybody!!
Tumblr media
flying web beast!
Tumblr media
It was even kind enough to let itself in on the first cavern layer (Right where it has access to the surface). However, if the dwarves can figure out how levers work we should be fine.
12th Hematite, Early Summer, 155
Praise be! A caravan of human traders have arrived!
Tumblr media
also the minotaur was in a wooden cage and is running towards the tavern.
15th Hematite, Early Summer, 155
Tumblr media
The beast has been successfully trapped, albeit in completely the wrong location. Don't know what happened to the minotaur but probably dead because people aren't complaining about it.
Unfortunately the caverns are now blocked off with an even more dangerous beast so can't even reclaim those. (There of course is a fun solution to his problem)
Current population: 51
16th Malachite, Mid Summer, 155
Tumblr media
Metal deadly dust forgotten beast! This is the third forgotten beast this year, it seems perhaps the world doesn't want us in the caverns.
19th Malachite, Mid Summer, 155
Tumblr media
It is too my horror to discover the third caverns were in fact, not sealed.
1st Galena, Late Summer, 155
Tumblr media
I believe I have captured the beast in the room opposite the other beast. I have simply locked the doors, likely ineffective solution but no dwarves are available to place walls in.
Currently there are 11 dwarves remaining: 1 Weretortoise mayor, 9 badly wounded, unconscious, rotting dwarfs and a monster hunter who is convinced he is socializing in the oily chestnuts.
6th Galena, Late Summer, 155
Tumblr media
I have moved all the dwarves to the old hospital, where the weretortoise mayor was residing. I have him recovering the patients and attempting to treat them. However with the curse I am going to have to prepare carefully and isolate him away during the full moon.
15th Limestone, Early Autumn, 155
The Dwarven merchants have arrived, although I have no plans to trade. The populations is down to seven citizens now, three of whom can't do labour as they aren't full citizens. The weretortoise mayor and another dwarf are currently attempting to keep the remaining hospitalized dwarves alive. Unfortunately a few have died of starvation or dehydration as there is enough dwarves to tend to everyones wounds.
20th Limestone, Early Autumn, 155
None of the remain dwarves in the hospital survived. The fortress currently contains two functional dwarves and three monster hunters.
21st Sandstone, Mid Autumn, 155
Tumblr media
A new hope appears on the horizon. With that the population is up to 13. Hopefully the fort can begin to be tidied up.
28th Sandstone, Mid Autumn, 155
Tumblr media
Fourth Forgotten Beast for the year. This one has direct access to the fortress through the third cavern layer, although there appears to be a door I might be able to seal to keep it out.
23rd Opal, Mid Winter, 155
Progress in the fortress has been much slower. The population is at 20, however many of these are poets, musicians and monster hunters who have requested residency. As such there is only a small number of dwarves able to do labour.
Tumblr media
Saying that the temple from earlier in the year has been finished, and while anyone part of the Order of Embracing has since left the fortress, it still stands as a grand temple for all those that wish to worship Amo.
1st Obsidian, Late Winter, 155
Tumblr media
Concerning news. One of the new migrants must have been a vampire and has killed the manager, one of the only two surviving dwarfs from from the earlier attacks. I has a strong suspicion on a dwarf named Domas given they have a vast amount of skills, including one or two legendary skills. They also happen to be almost 160 years old. Given there are many possible suspects I had decided to just simply evict this guy rather than try conduct and investigation.
11th Obsidian, Late Winter, 155
Tumblr media
A final Forgotten Beast appears before the end of the year. Makes a total of five in one year. This one is stuck in the third cavern layer where it can fight it out with the eight-legged Dimetrodon.
28th Obsidian, Later Winter, 155
That concludes my time as overseer of Gerbilgod. Overall probably a general success with only minor grievances throughout. I am somewhat confused as to how powerful doors appear to be in the steam release. I recall a locked not being enough to stop a werecreature or forgotten beast but they seem to be enough in this version.
The fortress still needs tidying and the catacombs need to be expanded. The mayor is still the Werebeast and remains his office during the full moons to avoid him attacking anyone. There is still the webbed beast in the cavern layer that could theocratically be captured but I didn't dare attempt. The lever and bridge system is place from the attempts to capture the Burninator.
As for naming my dwarf I chose the new fortress manager. She also happens to be the bookkeeper, broker and chief medical dwarf as there weren't many with any skills in the fortress.

Reunion (tbb ep.16 fix-it fic)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Crosshair x Medic! Female Reader
Warning: tbb ep.16 spoilers, mentioned of killing people, inhibitor chip?, some kissing, grammar mistakes, typo (cause i didn’t proof read lol. im too tired to do that.)
A/N: anyway, i was so mad and sad about tbb finale, so i decided to write a fix-it fic. That doesn’t mean I hate the episode, this is just my version of story. im not really good at writing so...haha. that’s why im a gifmaker, also my main language is not English, so there would have some typos and grammar mistakes.
Word count: 1.6k
read on ao3
You and The Bad Batch were on the way to save Hunter. You knew this would be a trap, but you couldn’t help but think of a certain sniper, your lover.
You and the batch didn’t understand what had happened to him at first, his brother, your love. The way he called you and the batch traitor, the way he raised his gun to you, and the way he talked. This wasn’t him, this was not the crosshair you know. 
Then, it turned out that the kaminoans had implanted inhibitor chips in every clone to make clones blindly follow orders, even killing the jedi.
“Good soldiers follow orders” This line kept echoing in your head after you heard Crosshair say it. This, this was not the crosshair you know.
***
“You and omega wait here” Echo told you and omega.
“No, we should stick together!” Omega protested. 
You put a hand on Omega’s shoulder, trying to calm her.
“No, echo’s right” Wrecker agreed with him.
“Stay out of sight, if things go south we’ll send you a signal. Go back to the ship and contact Rex.” Echo added, looking at you and omega.
You gave him a nod and pulled Omega back to your side before watching them ascend to the training room.
You know how much Hunter meant to Omega, the way they interacted, and the way they cared for each other. You understood why the young girl looked up to him.
“Omega, I’m sure they’ll get Hunter back.” You reassured her.
“I know, and Crosshair.” She looked at you with her bright eyes.
You were a little shocked when she mentioned him. All this time, you tried so hard to suppress your feelings for him, your love for him. The batch knew that you missed him, they could tell. The way you stared into his empty bed, and the nights that you cried until you were too tired and the tears were dried.
“Yeah, and Crosshair…” You smiled sadly at the young girl.
***
When you and Omega joined the batch in the training room, you, Omega, and AZI stayed in one of the gun towers. That was when you saw him, your Crosshair. Hunter and he were tackling each other while Tech, Echo, and Wrecker were shooting the droids.
“I believe you may have activated a few too many droids.” AZI said to Omega and you.
“ We can see that, AZI.” Omega raised her bow, aiming for the nearest droid to Hunter and Crosshair. Meanwhile, you used your blaster to shoot some of the droids near the others.
***
After clearing out all the droids, you, Omega, and AZI joined the others on the ground. You walked closer to Crosshair and Hunter. 
You could see that Crosshair was shocked to see you, the coldness in his eyes, mixing up with a tiny bit of shock.
The big scar on the right side of his head was horrifying, did the empire did this to him? Your heart almost broke into million pieces, seeing the love of your life like this.
“Crosshair…” Your voice almost sounded like a whisper. 
For a moment, you see the real Crosshair, your Crosshair. But soon replaced by the coldness and aloofness.
“Crosshair, forget the empire. This isn’t you, it’s the inhibitor chip.” Hunter tried to talk some senses into him.
“Wrong.” Crosshair stared back at Hunter. “I had my chip removed a long time ago.” He added.
All of you looked shocked, Tech and Wrecker looked at each other, speechless. Hunter almost looked hurt. 
“Since when?” Hunter asked.
“Does it matter?”
“Yes”
No. No. This is not Crosshair. The Crosshair you know would never do this.
“Cross, the empire lied about many things, what if they lied to you?” You asked, trying to hold back your tears.
“This is who I am.” 
Crosshair tried to raise his rifle, but Hunter was faster. He stunned him before Crosshair’s attempt.
***
“Hunter, three Venators are descending on the city. We need to leave, now.” Tech stated.
“Wrecker, grab Crosshair. He’s coming with us.” Hunter grabbed Crosshair’s rifle and backpack, while you went to picked up Crosshair’s helmet.
You saw Omega gave Hunter a nod before walking away. Hunter caught you staring at him, so you gave a sad smile to him in return.
“He’s coming home with us.” Hunter said.
***
You and The Batch finally made it to Nala Se’s lab, Tech and Echo were currently trying to figure out a plan. After Crosshair and Hunter’s intense conversation, you saw him walking to the window and taking a seat to rest.
“AZI, come with me, I need your help on something.” You asked.
AZI followed you to Crosshair, you took a seat beside him.
“Crosshair…”
“What do you want?” He asked coldly.
“AZI is a medical droid, he can scan you to check if you still have the chip.”
“Indeed, I helped CT-5555 removed his and CT-5385’s chip according to my memory database.” AZI said.
“Fine.” Crosshair agreed reluctantly.
“CT-9904, this scan only takes a few seconds” AZI said before scanning Crosshair.
To be honest, you knew he still had the chip, you hoped he still had the chip. Cause there was no way, no way the Crosshair you knew would be like this.
“The scan is completed.” AZI said.
“So..?” You asked.
“CT-9904 still has his chip, the chip’s effect was weakened due to the injury from ion engine.” AZI answered.
You felt almost relieved? 
The Batch heard it and rushed to you, “He still has...his chip?” Hunter asked, sounded a little guilty.
Echo, Tech, Omega, and Wrecker looked at each other, surprised by this unexpected news as well.
“That would be correct.”AZI replied.
“Could you remove it, AZI?” Omega asked, she wanted his brother back as much as any of you did.
“Yes. I’m capable of removing CT-9904’s inhibitor chip.”
“Do it.” Hunter said.
You stayed next to Crosshair while AZI removed his chip. The surgery was faster than you think, you hold Crosshair’s hand during the whole surgery, and you still holding it now.
“CT-9904’s chip has been removed. He should be awake in any minutes.” AZI stated.
You felt his hand pressing yours, “Crosshair?”
“I...I…”
“Hey, you’re okay now. We removed your chip.” You reassured him.
Crosshair looked away from you, his eyes filled with guilt, confusion, anger, sadness.
“Don’t you hate me?” He asked. “All those things I had done…”
Your hand reached out to stroke his face, “No. Never. I know it’s the chip, Cross. It’s not your fault.” You smiled at him. “I love you, always and forever.” 
Crosshair put his hand on your face, wiping away the tears falling down your face. “ But I shot at you, I tried to kill you… I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry…”
“Shhh, I forgive you, Cross. All of it. I’m sorry we didn’t come to save you earlier…” 
Crosshair sat up and pulled you into a hug, you melted into his touch, inhaling his scent. Your Crosshair was finally back to you, this is real. The sleepless night without him, the loneliness, the emptiness, the desperation, were all gone. Crosshair was back to you, alive.
“I love you too, cyare.” He said it back.
He pulled away a little so he could kiss you on the lips, his hand trailed to your nape, kissing you with force. You and Crosshair clung on to each other so hard, afraid you would lose each other again. That was when you heard Hunter cleared his throat, you two finally pulled away from each other.
“I know you two miss each other but this lab is about to collapse. and this is not very…” Hunter said and eyed Omega.
“Right, sorry about that.” You answered, then looked at Crosshair whose arm was still wrapped around you. “Cross.” You nudged him.
“Fine.” He gave up and retreated his arm.
“I see Crosshair still has his severe and unyielding personality.” Tech stated.
“This is called missing someone, Tech.” Crosshair said and pulled out one toothpick to throw it at him.
“Ha! He’s back!” Wrecker exclaimed and playfully punched Crosshair’s shoulder. 
Crosshair pretended to show an annoyed face, but deep down you knew he missed his brothers.
“Listen, Crosshair. I’m sorry. We should have come for you earlier.” Hunter said. “I was trying to keep the rest of the squad safe, but you are one of us. I’m sorry.”
Crosshair didn’t say anything, just stood up and walk toward Hunter. For a moment you thought he was going to punch him, but instead, Crosshair extended his hand to Hunter.
Hunter looked at Crosshair’s hand then his eyes, he reached out his hand to shake Crosshair’s. 
“We need to leave fast, the structure could not hold much longer.” AZI chimed in.
***
All of you finally made it to the platform, for once the Kamino is sunny.
Omega stared at the Tipoca City, which was all destroyed. “It’s… all gone.”
You looked at that direction, the place all clones called home was all gone. The Batch and you took a few seconds to process this, to accept the fact.
“We should leave before Empire’s scouts show up.” Tech said.
“You coming with us?” Wrecker asked, looking at Crosshair.
“Yeah.” Crosshair said and took out a toothpick, putting it into his mouth.
Hunter nodded at him before walking to the ship with the others.
You still stood next to Crosshair, “You ready?” you asked.
“Yeah.” He gave you a little smile then intertwined his hand with yours, leading you to the Marauder. 
You didn’t know what the future would be, but one thing was sure. Crosshair would be right beside you, always and forever.

Baumhaus Uni life just got even weirder
Hiiii People this is me author of the day ( honestly I just neglected all the work I need to do for 3 hours you better be thankful XD) I'll update maybe once a week? If I can make it? For now I just really wanted the idea out of my head and into chapter 1 :D It is not proof read, ignore any grammar or spelling mistakes XD
„Lea wake up. Lea. Goddamnit Julia could I get some help over here I really don’t want to be late for our first day!” Lea groaned and rolled over, not for the first time cursing her friend who was worse than any alarm clock.
She tried to peel open her eyes and saw Hanna standing in the door, still trying to fix her mess of hair with some product by looking into her mirror at the other side of the room. There were slow footsteps in the hall as Julia walked into the room and fell next to Lea on the bed.
“Move” she instructed, getting under the blankets. Grunting Lea wiggled to make room for her friend who pretended to fall asleep again. The only thing that was an indicator that she was already awake was the fact that she was dressed in jeans and a simple t-shirt and not in her RJ Pajamas. “Lier she already woke you up!” Lea accused and tried to grab the blanket from Julia again.
Dishes where heard clirring in the kitchen, followed by Hanna shouting “Wait girls, why is our coffee empty I thought we still had coffee, ohmygod how will I make it through the morning.” The stress was clear in her voice but that made the girls only laugh silently. “We’re gonna stop by Dynamite Coffee today don’t worry!” Julia answered loud enough for Hanna to hear. The girl came back into view. “Ah yes for us to make it in time though we really need to be out of the house in 5” she said, hands on her hips. Lea groaned again, though the promise of good coffee made getting up a bit more appealing. Dynamite had this really great Vanilla-Caramel Frappé creation, and as it was the first day of hell, aka the new semester, the motto was treat yourself with sugar. “Veto on the shower” she finally said, pushing the blankets (and Julia) out of the bed to get up. “Dude no need to call Veto you know I only shower in the evening” said Hanna, going back to her room. Lea blinked and looked down at Julia, who was apparently also dressed.
“Ok , at least give me 10 minutes”
 They somehow still made it out of the house with time to spare and luckily there weren’t that many people waiting in Line at the coffee-shop. Lea grinned when she saw Jimin was working today. Hanna ordered first, black coffee and the biggest vegan sandwich they had on display, Julia some iced tea and something sweet. Jimin grinned and went into full pose when he saw Lea, who had already gotten into some extra stance, with her hand on one hip, the other going through her hair as Jimin would often do. “Good morning Sunshine what can I get you?” Jimin said, completing his sentence with a wink.
Lea rolled her eyes. “More like raincloud you know what day it is today, though I appreciate the positivity.” Lea answered, following up with “The usual with extra syrup please.” Jimin went to work as Hanna and Julia went beeline for their usual seat at the window. Lea stayed at the counter for a moment longer, as there wasn’t really anyone waiting to order anyway right now.
“Why do you have the morning shift today don’t you have classes?” She asked her best friend, who was busy creating magic in the form of caffeinated drinks. “Hah do you think I’m gonna turn up the first day, people might think I’m actually taking studying serious. I really don’t want to ruin my reputation like that!” Lea grinned “I wish, But I think you-know-who drinking her black coffee over there would have killed me!” Jimin finished her drink and slid it over in one fluid movement, perfectly in sync for Lea to grab the cup.
“Yea, to be honest though most of my classes start in the afternoon this semester.” Lea nodded. Jimin was a dance major and most of the morning classes where often the theoretical kind in the lecture halls. And she couldn’t really picture Jimin turning up for dance history at 8am on a Monday morning either.
“Well, I’ll see you around then, I’m going to inhale this now and hope it helps with my class at least.” She sighed. “You know my magic always works” Jimin smiled. “Don’t worry what is it again that you have today? Fashion history? You passed that one with flying colors last semester and I don’t think I’ve ever seen you study for it.”
“Yeah, but only because I already know most of the material, which still makes it a super boring class to sit in” Jimin moved a hand through his orange hair in his trademark way, before putting it on Leas Hand, morphing his face into somewhat of a pretend-pity-pout. “Don’t worry I promise I’m going to invite you to our party on Friday if you live through the week” Lea slapped his Hand away, though her eyes gave away that she was intrigued. “Your fraternity already planning for the first party of the semester?” Jimin puffed out his chest proudly. “What do you think, Beta Tau Sigma doesn’t sleep, and like hell, we’re going to top last semesters opening party by far!” He announced.
Beta Tau Sigma was probably most known for their party’s and pretty boys around Campus and while there were a bunch of different fraternities as Jimin would say “Don’t fraternitise with the enemy, especially not alpha delta psi”. In that moment the doorbell rung, signalizing a new wave of costumers. Lea turned around one last time saying “Don’t forget to keep me updated” before going to sit over to her friends. When she turned around she saw an old woman, maybe a professor?, stumble while she was trying to stand up from her table. Without thinking and in a moment of unknown agility Lea helped steady the woman and her tea set, so it wouldn’t shatter into a thousand pieces on the floor. “Wow are you alright?” She asked when the woman didn’t move for a second. She turned her head up and blinked up at her with incredibly light blue eyes. “Ah yes, thank you very much young lady!” She moved to put back her plate and cup and went to the door, when Lea shook her head and noticed she had left a little bag on her chair. She grabbed it and ran after the woman but when she looked around it seemed like the old lady had vanished into thin air.
“I guess I’ll maybe take this to the campus fundus later” She shrugged and placed the little item in her bag before joining her friends for breakfast.
“Ah Lea!” Hanna said, while swallowing the last of her sandwich. She placed her heads on the table and leaned forward in a serious manner. “Guess what Tae is actually in my art history class this semester!” She smiled and Julia gave Lea the look, they always shared when it came to Hanna and that certain boy. “Yeah guess how she found out, Tae just messaged her happily how his best friend ever being in the same class is just the greatest thing that happened to him today” Lea snickered and took a huge slurp from her drink. Whatever they put in there truly was like magic, lighting up her mood. Or maybe it’s just the sugar. “Hanna blinked at them, but before she could ask why they were being weird again Lea decided to share her news. “And guess what I just heard; beta tau sigma  is returning to the scene this Friday with their legendary semester opening party!” Julia clapped her hands together “Dude yes we totally need to go!” She high fived Lea, both of them starting to plan their outfits and makeup for the day. “I have to hope there’s just no student council on Friday or I’ll just come Later” Hanna, who had just taken out her calendar and was nibbling on her pen said. Lea took her calendar and a pen from her bag, before writing in big, bold letters PARTY in the spot for Friday. She closed it, throwing it back into Hanna’s’ bag. Hanna gaped at her, but she just took another slurp of her Frappé “Don’t tell me you want to miss out on the chance of Tae freestyling something again for boring student council”  Hanna started mumbling something about “Not that boring but…” when Julia groaned and leaned back in her chair. “Now that you mention that maybe I will come a bit later when that part of the evening is over” “Well I’m sure Suga is already appointed as the real DJ for the evening.” “Touché I’m back on board”
  Lea entered the Lecture hall right on time, heading straight for a place in the last row, before pulling out her I-pad that automatically connected with the university Wlan. Thank god for that because without some distractions she truly wouldn’t survive the class. Fashion history, while being one of the more interesting subjects, was taught by an old white man called Mr. Park Jin-young and his lecture style was awkward at best and dead-boring at worst. She was really just here for attendance credits anyway, as most of the material she already knew from her free time research. The decision to study fashion was really something that happened after a failed- first attempt at studying  “something useful” as her father had called it, while she just spat on it as economics hell. Julia might be convinced that subject was actually exciting, but she wasn’t fooling anyone. Economics was really just the first nail in her coffin and after dropping all her mandatory classes after one semester she decided to switch over to something that actually interested her. While she didn’t want to go full design category, though that would’ve put her in some classes with Tae or Hanna, she decided to major in Fashion history and Costume design, hoping to work for film or theatre one day, whichever way it worked out really.  The class passed slower than ever, Lea caught up with the Baumhaus Blog, a university legend really as it was written by someone who clearly had all the intel into not only University politics but also most classes and famous people. Some thought it was led by the actual university president itself, as he was the only one who was always present for the last 20 years when the blog had first started out as a makeshift website. Another popular theory was that the blog was passed on from the founder to different people and every time they graduated the moderator would change as well. Lea thought that theory was more plausible, because not only would it be weird for the Uni president to trash himself in third person but also it seemed like the style had changed ever so slightly last year and 3 years before that, as Julia had once explained to her. The newest entry was about the Party on Friday, which wasn’t that surprising because for Beta Tau Sigma to keep a secret for more than an hour was nearly impossible. Not only did they have the eyes of fangirls on them, but the own members weren’t really secretive about their activities either, as much as Jimin would like to make it out to be.
The class wrapped up a tiring 2 hours later and Lea’s stomach grumbled, reminding her that she hadn’t really eaten anything this morning. She stood up, after quickly noting down the first assignment because of course Mr. Park wanted them to have an essay ready by next week already, that asshole.
The prospect of Jimin maybe still being on shift made her steer back to Dynamite Coffee, as it was also the most convenient option around Campus unless you actually dared to eat the Mensa food.
The ringing of the bell for a second time that day and the smell of coffee was so comforting, she nearly forgot all about the assignment that she had to finish already this week. Well, nearly. Lea looked around, the coffee shop was a lot busier now, as many people had the same idea to drop by during classes. Behind the counter it actually wasn’t only Jimin now, but also another guy with black hair. His sleeves were pushed up over his elbows revealing tattoos that were all over his forearm and fingers. Lea vaguely remembered seeing his face somewhere, though she couldn’t quite place it. Before she could catch Jimin’s eye he vanished in the back for something, and she sighed. “Eh excuse me could I take your order?” She looked up, confused that it was already her turn but apparently the people in front of her were in a group. She looked at the food options to the left. “I’ll take one grilled cheese sandwich and a Nutella muffin” She said, looking back up at the waiter. And suddenly she remembered where she knew him from. “Holy shit you’re stock-photo guy!” She blurted out. The guy just took out her muffin from the display and nearly dropped it because of her sudden outburst. He blushed and looked at her stammering something incoherently. “Oh my god I’m right! I always see you in memes all over Tumblr oh my god!” In that moment Jimin came from the back grinning at Lea and throwing an arm around Bartender guy. “I knew I heard your voice and yes this is our newest addition to the team may I present Model and photography student Jeon Jungkook”. Jeon Jungkook looked very uncomfortable and busied himself with trying and somehow failing to place Lea’s muffin in a bag. Lea shook her head in a small laugh, her blonde hair falling out from behind her ear. “Damn Jimin and I thought you were the only model allowed to serve coffee out here, seems new guy as you beat in popularity as I saw his ‘model photos’ somewhere else than his own Instagram thirst-tap page.” Jimin crossed his arms in mock-offend while Jungkook finally gave the bag with food over to Lea. “Here’s your dude- I mean food” he said groaning a little about his slip of tongue. “Thanks dude” Lea grinned, placing her EC card over the card reader to pay. “You’re taking it to-go?” Jimin asked. “Yeah I wanna go home for a second before my next class, I want to pick up a book that I left lying there and you know I need a good book to survive literature” “Wow that is so wannabe-author of you” Jimin answered. Lea picked up her things and waved “Thanks I’ll take it, Bye Jimin, bye stock-photo-guy!”
 Considering that she had some time before her next class Lea sat down in the kitchen with her freshly-warmed up sandwich and looked around her bag for her iPad. She placed it on the table, when her hand felt something else inside the bag.
Confused she pulled it out of her bag and placed it on the table. It was the thing the old lady had forgotten in the coffee shop earlier that morning. “Shit I totally forgot to drop it off at the fundus” Lea said. Curious she opened up the bag, figuring it wouldn’t hurt to take a small look inside. It was a silver ring, beautifully crafted. She turned it around in her hand admiring the weight and style of it. Her own fingers were always full of different rings and this one was actually really pretty the more she looked at it. Before she could put it back in her bag her phone suddenly started ringing. Lea carefully placed the ring back on the little bag it came in and fished out her phone from the depth of her bag. “What the-“ The caller ID showed Julia’s name, though that was weird, because Julia was supposed to sit in class right now and she usually wasn’t one to ditch a class that easily.
“Hello girl what’s up?” Lea asked into the phone. Through the line she could hear some wind crashing and other sounds but Julia started speaking before she could even wonder further. “GIRL, where are you right now?” She asked kind of frantically. “Huh I came home for my break why?” “There’s a supervillain that just crashed into your lecture hall and I didn’t remember if you still had class” Lea pulled her eyebrows together, concentrating to make out Julia’s voice with all the background commotion. “What is that some joke?!” “You need to look at the Baumhaus blog, there’s some footage up already” Julia continued talking, through most of it was drowned out by the bad connection while Lea swiped her iPad open. And somehow, she couldn’t believe her eyes. “What the fuck-?” she whispered, when the line went dead. Suddenly worried Lea jumped up and whirled around when a bright green flash illuminated the kitchen. She screeched some high note and fell back against the sink closing her eyes. When she reopened them, she saw something floating over her left-over sandwich. Said something sniffed her half-eaten sandwich. What was happening? “Oh my god is that … cheese” Said something exclaimed. “I haven’t had that in a century!”
Lea, finding her voice and body connection again jumped up from her place at the floor and she pointed accusingly at the thing that had just started eating her lunch with huge bites.
“What the fuck!” She exclaimed again, and while it wasn’t her most eloquent moment, she truly couldn’t find any words to better describe the situation.
The something looked up at her as if just remembering she was here. “Oh hi. I’m Plagg. Let me just eat first than we can go deal with that akuma”
“Aku-what?” Lea asked slowly sitting down in front of the black creature. It kind of resembled a small cat now that she looked at it. Plagg ate the last of that sandwich in a huge bite that shouldn’t be possible for his small statue and happily rubbed his belly. “Look girl, I am a kwami, and the god of destruction” he started, flowing from the plate towards the ring. “And it’s just your luck you seem to be my new holder, as you own my ring now.” He took the ring and placed it down in front of a still silently staring Lea. “This is a dream or something, maybe I woke up in one of my fantasy novels” the girl whispered, taking the ring hesitantly. It felt cool and very real against her skin. She slipped it on one of her fingers and found out it somehow fit perfectly. “Nonono this is actually real life; I know that because I just ate very real yummy cheese, and it tastes better than in my dreams. Now we have to deal with a supervillain, but don’t worry Ladybug will surely help you so you won’t have to fight him alone. We need her power anyway as you will sure learn. Your power is more awesome anyway it’s called cataclysm and it is all about destroying stuff. Anyway listen. You mustn’t tell anyone about this okay, most important rule. “Lea blinked down at the small creature. Ladybug? Fighting a supervillain? What the hell was going on?
“Now after you say, ‘claws out’ we can actually start trying to find that villain-“ Plagg certainly wanted to go on, but as if still in denial Lea repeated “Claws out?” confused and everything happened at once.
The small creatures’ eyes widened, and he opened his mouth but suddenly he was gone, and Lea was standing in the apartment in a leather suit. She looked down at her hands that were clad in leather as well, her nails seemingly got sharper under the material.
She rushed out into the hall, towards the mirror and stopped as she looked at herself. She was wearing a freaking leather catsuit. “Again. What. The. Fuck” She looked down at herself and up into the mirror. Her eyes where light green and very cat like under a black mask that obscured her face around the eyes. Lea turned around, admiring how the material seemed to fit just right in all places and she noticed a little stick in her belt, that also kind of looked like a cat’s tail. She took it and pressed a paw-shaped button, causing the thing to open up with all kinds of options. And suddenly she somehow, as if it was instinctual, knew what she had to do. She ran back into the kitchen, checking Baumhaus blog which was still reporting life on the incident. The supervillain apparently had moved on toward the art building And Lea remembered Tae and Hanna were supposed to be there right about now.
She sprinted out onto the balcony and in a jump, that could only be described as very daring or downright suicidal, she leaped over the street. Her staff expended and like a pole-vaulter she reached the next rooftop unshattered. She stopped when her feet hit the roof, looking down at her slightly trembling hands. “Wow.” She breathed out and her face turned into a smile. “This is awesome!”
She pole-vaulted her way towards the campus which resulted her being there in second’s time. Deciding that looking at what was going on first might be a smart idea, she hid behind one of the chimneys. She peeked around again just in time to see something red and spotted crash down in front of her. On the roof. There were no red spotted giant birds as far as she was aware.
She peeked around again just in time to notice a guy with dark hair sitting up. He groaned and rubbed his head. He looked around and their eyes met, both blinking at the other person. “Wait…” Lea started, remembering some things that Plagg had been trying to tell her before she transformed. She eyed the suit that was skin-tight, showing the lean muscle of the guy in front of her, but most importantly it was reminiscent of a certain animal “Are you the Ladybug? Nice biceps by the way!” The guy shrugged and stood up to his full height. “More like Mr.Bug as you can see. And who are you?” He shot her a charming grin. Lea rolled her eyes. “I’m L-leather dressed superhero lady noir as you can see” For effect she bowed down. “And I thought my getup was bad but here you are running around like a domeownatrix!” Lea’s eyebrow twitched under her mask and she decided that maybe, she did not like this guy. “I’d take my suit any day over that spotted fashion disaster you are sporting.” She shot back but Mr.Bug only smiled, striking a pose. “Oh, really you don’t spot something you like?” “More like you are bugging me already-“ she started, when suddenly a huge rock was thrown their way causing them both to jump apart and turn around.
Oh right. There was that problem with the supervillain.
LMAO :D:D:D:D:D Did you see that coming? A reverse Miraculous AU because I can. And we are only just getting started.

The Frayed Ends of Sanity- Chapter Four
Tumblr media
Catch up here!- TFEOS Masterlist // Rose’s Masterlist
Summary: Y/N Winchester was the sweet, innocent younger sister of Sam and Dean Winchester. After a fight between her and her eldest brother, she is abducted by Lucifer himself, who turns her into someone completely different. Someone feral and psychotic. Something that will be the perfect weapon against the Winchester brothers.
Pairing: Winchesters x Insane!Sister!Reader
Warnings: Angst, descriptions of injuries, descriptions of death, mentions of torture, deadly disease.
A/N- So, I’m not 100% happy with this chapter, but it gets the point across and it went where I wanted it to go. But here it is, and hopefully THD will be posted tomorrow or Wednesday:) Love y’all and hope you enjoy!
*Please excuse any/all grammar mistakes. I’m not a professional writer whatsoever. I proof read but may not have caught everything. Thanks!*
It was worse than he thought. Her soul was almost dead, the small light almost completely faded out. And once it burned out, so would she, and Y/N would be dead, not even in the empty. Completely obliterated without any way to bring her back.
Lucifer had done quite a number on her, and if Cas couldn’t find a way to heal her, Y/N Winchester would cease to exist.
Castiel bent down, his eyes scanning Y/N’s life force carefully. She shook like a leaf, her E/C eyes full of fear, pain and something Cas could only describe as desperation. Her knees were tucked up under her chin, blood dripping from each wound steadily.
“I’m going to do my best to heal you, Y/N,” Cas told her. “But I’m going to have to get close to you, is that alright?”
Y/N hesitated for a moment. She knew Cas wouldn’t hurt her, but what if this was another one of Lucifer’s tricks? It wouldn’t be the first time he had gotten into her mind pretending to be her angel, saying these things to weasel his way further into her mind and hurt her more.
But this time, it seemed different. Worry was etched into Castiel’s features, true horror flickering in his blue eyes. Lucifer’s version of Cas always had a sense of bitterness to him, he certainly wasn’t as gentle as this Cas was, which made Y/N think it really was Castiel.
So she nodded her head reluctantly, hoping to God this wasn’t another one of his tricks, and this was really her angel.
Castiel reached out to her, Y/N’s eyes squeezing shut as he did so, and placed two fingers onto her forehead. A light emitted from them, a warmth automatically spreading through the broken girl’s soul and flooding through her, the black veins under her skin pulsing angrily.
She winced, a sudden jab of pain splitting through her head. The light under her skin began to move from her head to her neck and shoulders, reaching its long fingers to the wounds there and wrapping themselves around them, the missing chunks of flesh on her shoulders slowly filling in, her skin stretching and restoring itself.
Castiel looked closer at the dark veins clearly seen underneath Y/N’s mangled skin. Whatever coursed through them, moved rapidly, and he could see almost a shimmer as it pulsed through her.
His heart tightened when he realized what it was, and what exactly Lucifer had put inside her. He wasn’t sure what could kill it, or even if there was a way too, but he was determined to find one.
Castiel could feel his energy quickly draining with the strength it took to undo the work of the devil himself. With each pulse of light from him, a bit more of his energy was drained.
His light didn’t move much further from her shoulders, just wrapping itself tightly around the wounds there, focusing in on one specific area.
Cas became weaker with each passing moment, the amount of energy pouring from him close to painful. He pushed his light and grace into her at full force, but Lucifer was stronger, and whatever was inside her was eating at her at a rapid pace. The thick, black substance that ran through her veins barely flinched at the angel’s light, and he knew that it would be difficult to get through, if he could at all.
The shoulder wounds were nearly healed, but Cas began to feel the pain of his power decreasing. He pushed a little more, his eyes falling shut and his body shaking with the force it took. Another jolt of power was sent through his fingertips and into Y/N, the two largest wounds on her shoulders healing.
He pulled his hand away and fell to his hands and knees. He took in gasping breaths, his energy low and faltering. Y/N opened her eyes and glanced down at Castiel, her eyes widening as he tried to regain his strength. As she moved her arms to help him, she didn’t feel the ache of stab of pain it brought with it. She looked down and gasped at what she saw.
She ran her fingers over her newly healed shoulders and a small smile spread across her face.
“Thank you, Cas,” She said. He looked up at her, a smile growing on his own face at the sight of hers.
“You’re welcome, little one,” He told her. He brushed a strand of hair from her face, his fingers lingering on her cheek. “I will be back when I’ve regained some strength to heal you some more.”
“Thank you,” She murmured. He smiled brightly, his eyes looking around, his heart lifting at the what he saw.
The small ray of light had grown, not by a lot, but Castiel could clearly see it had grown a bit. It was working, but he knew it would be incredibly difficult to fix her completely, if he could at all. It unfortunately seemed like it would take much more than him to fix Y/N’s soul, but he wasn’t sure he trusted anyone enough to allow them inside her mind.
He felt himself being sucked back suddenly, the world around him folding in on itself. A screeching sound shot through his ears and he found himself beside Y/N once again in Bobby’s study.
His eyes flickered up to the men watching anxiously, Dean’s eyes hopeful.
“Well?” He asked. “How’d it go?”
Cas sighed and looked back down at the now sleeping girl, his hand reaching over to run through her untangled hair.
“It’s worse than I thought,” He said. “But I managed to heal her a bit. But I’m afraid if I don’t heal her more soon, she will die-” Dean sucked in a harsh breath, his heart clenching in his chest- “There’s some sort of… substance inside her. I’m almost positive Lucifer put it there. I know what it is, and unfortunately, my grace barely poked it.”
“What is it?” Bobby asked crossing his arms over his chest. He didn’t like the sound of that, and he knew if Cas’ grace couldn’t do anything to it, it would be a bitch to get rid of.
“It’s called ‘infernum in plaga’, or, ‘Hell’s plague.’ It comes from the bowels of hell, a place the darkest of demon’s won’t touch. But Lucifer… He created it. It was used as a punishment for disobedient or treasonous demons. One catches it by having it injected into their bloodstream or blood contact with a carrier of the disease. My guess is that she was injected with it but I’m not sure.”
“Can this… Hell’s plague… kill her?” Sam asked.
“Yes. Once it spreads to the brain or the heart, it will suffocate it. If it reaches the heart first, she’ll die within two days. But with the brain, the plague will eat away at it slowly until she dies, painfully,” Cas answered.
“Will you be able to cure her?” Bobby asked.
“Maybe. There are a few ways that I could try to treat her, but I must also work on the soul itself. But I’m weak. I need to regain strength before even attempting to get inside her mind again.”
“How will you do that?” Sam asked. Cas shrugged, a simple gesture on vulnerability. He wasn’t sure how to regain strength very quickly without touching a soul. But he was reluctant to do that, knowing how painful it was for a human, and how large of a toll it could take on them.
“I’ll need to refrain from using my powers. There are a few things I could try, a few different spells and hex bags that could help, maybe a few sigils I could surround myself with, but that could take up to two weeks to get back to full strength.” He looked back at Y/N, his thumb moving to soothe the worry lines etched between her brows. “But I’m afraid we may not have that long. Without constant care of her soul, healing everyday, the darkness spreading within her, I’m afraid that if it spreads to her brain- or heart- it’ll kill her right away with how damaged she is.”
“How close is it to either of those?” Dean asked. Castiel looked up at him, his hand still running through Y/N’s hair.
“Honestly?” Cas said. “Best case scenario, it’ll reach her brain in about a week and her heart in about two. It seemed to be making its way upwards through her arm. I think that’s where Lucifer injected her with it. It’s crawled over her shoulders and up her neck. It moves slowly but effectively, evidently destroying everything in its path. Blood, healthy tissue, everything. If we don’t find a cure, and fast, she’ll be dead by next Friday.”
The room was silent then. If Cas couldn’t get his strength back up before the plague reached her brain, Y/N was out of luck. Her soul would have been completely eaten away, and there would be absolutely nothing anybody could do about it. If they couldn’t find a cure, it would be out of Cas’ ballpark, out of anyone’s really. Not even a demon could fix it. The only person who held the key to a cure that would definitely work, was Lucifer.
Lucifer had injected Y/N with the infernum in plaga for this very reason. He wanted the men to know they were helpless against him. That he would always win, and there was nothing they could do about it. Yes, he loved having Y/N as his pet, but honestly, he enjoyed watching the brothers torture themselves over this even more.
He currently sat at one of the cool, metal tables in the common room of the old prison. His latest victim sat tied to the wooden chair merely ten feet from him, the corpse lifeless and the head sitting arms length from Lucifer on the table. He twirled the small vile through his fingers, a pleased smirk on his face. Whether the Winchesters knew it or not, he was still inside Y/N’s mind. He knew every thought and feeling she had, and when he felt a new presence inside her mind, he knew his plan was working. The angel had entered her mind, trying so desperately to heal her. And when he was in there, he found Hell’s plague running through her veins. He knew Castiel would scurry back to the brothers and tell them about his findings, tell them there may be a way to save her.
Lucifer laughed at how naive the angel was. He sat the vile down on the table, a smile ghosting on his lips as he stared at it, as he stared at the only cure to the infernum in plaga. He laughed once again, a hearty laugh that echoed off the crumbling walls around him. Because even if the boys didn’t know it yet, he had won, just like he always did, and always will.

Hi there fellow artist!
May I ask you this, do you like having your art reposted with no credits back to you whatsoever and having strangers get more likes than your original post after you spending hours and putting in your blood, sweat, and tears to finish that piece?
No?
Than I recommend you stay as far away from the My Hero amino as possible, or better yet check in to make sure your art hasn’t already been stolen because wowie, there’s a lot.
 And get this. The leader does not care about you artists. :’)
Want some proof?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A little background about this amino. Back then, this amino did not have a crediting rule, which caused a mass amount of art theft and reposted artwork with zero respect for the artists. This made a lot of members leave, to which in a desperate attempt for them to stay, the leader added the crediting rule. Fun fact though, she didn’t even make it herself, her staff did, which were more supporting of the crediting rule than she was. We had a small team that made sure credits were given to all artists on any post that had artwork that did not belong to the poster, the team was called the “Post Monitor Team” or PMT for short, hence the chat name in the screenshots. We’ve had multiple fights with the leader about what does and doesn’t need credit, and this one conversation just so happened to catch my attention.
After all of that however, the leaders have been planning on removing the crediting rule! Which means:
Stolen art
Art being reposted with no permission/the artist not wanting their art reposted
Stolen Ocs (There’s is A LOT of Ocs that get stolen on that amino)
TRACED and RECOLORED art (This happened so often we had to make a post about it)
Stolen fanfics (Oh yeah, this goes to you too writers)
Stolen theories
Stolen fanart in edits
And all of these will happen with no penalty whatsoever. Great right? 
Yeah I didn’t think so.
Sadly, the only thing artists can do to fix this is to either comment and ask it to be removed or report the reposted art. However, all reports usually go to the leaders of the amino. Which is obviously a problem when the leader does not care about you or your art, and your report will likely be ignored. Thankfully there is another option.
Report the leaders.
There are so much more problems with the leadership aside from the lack of credit and respect for artists. They remove staff for not agreeing with them, they disable posts/hide or ban members that give them critiques on their leadership, they manipulate people by either playing the victim card or lying/only telling their side of the story, and hire/promote staff purely based on favoritism. Doesn’t sound too good does it? We’ve got all the proof compiled together in multiple folders here if you’re willing to either read them or use it to report them.
How to report them?
A wonderful fellow decided to make an entire post going into detail on our amino about how to report leaders here, so go check it out since they explain it much better than I can, but I’ll sum it up to the best of my ability. However, you may have to be an existing member to report them.
Compile the information. This includes links to the amino, the leader, as well as your account on the amino you’re reporting. 
Screenshots. Team Amino will most likely look past your report if you don’t provide screenshots as proof, which is why we gave you the link to the documented screenshots. 
Fill the form. Make your report as long and excessively detailed as possible, also please include proper grammar/spelling and no profanity to the best of your ability, they may not take the report serious if it’s filled with constant mistakes and swearing.
Hope. Team Amino may or may not do anything about the leaders, but hey, who says we can’t try? The more people who actually report the leaders the more of a chance Team Amino will likely intervene and do something about the situation.
The My Hero Academia fandom is a true blessing when it comes to things such as art, fanfictions, theories, merchandise, and cosplaying, and that amino is one community which could tear all of that apart by causing content creators to be too afraid of posting anything. So please, help us get this fixed and help those lovely users that provide us all of this content - for FREE mind you - in order to keep it from spreading!
Thanks for your time to read this!
