#also just considering the idea of attention being the mayor but also attached to the F family just feels very correct to me

Gotta say one of my Mentopolis finale highlights is honestly the fact that Fanny gets a happy ending too because I was genuinely a little worried about her

I can't find your fall prompt list anymore but if you're still doing them (I think black cat was an option) maybe a Darkiplier x reader where reader has a pet void kitty cat and it keeps sitting on Darks paperwork and demanding attention from Dark n he keeps trying to ignore the cat but that makes it want attention even more n the reader thinks it's super funny
Kitten
This was rather fun to write considering I know what it's like to try and be affectionate without getting too close to cats. The unfortunate reality of being allergic to cats.
Darkiplier x GN!Reader, TW: none Words: 505
“Dark! Look at what I got!”
“What is it deares- what is that?”
He points to the fluffy void in your hands.
“It’s a kitten!”
“That is a dust bunny.”
The cat mews at him, which makes him retract his hand. He looks incredibly wary of this cat.
“Do you know the responsibility it takes for someone to take care of a creature? I will not be responsible for the care of this animal.”
“I wasn’t expecting you to be, but I thought you’d want to help me name it.”
“Absolutely not. I do not wish to be attached to it.”
“Fine, whatever you say.”
You walk out of the room smug with your little yelling ball of soot in your hands, knowing you’ll get him to come around to the idea of the cat eventually. The kitten’s area in your office is all set up, and you let him snuggle in for a nap while you go get some chores done. When the kitchen is cleaned up, you get the kitten’s dinner ready with a can of cat food mixed in with some dry. You get back up to your office to not find your kitten anywhere. It’s unnamed, but even if it was there’d be no way of you being able to effectively call for it. You search high and low, looking all across the manor for your cat. 
You can’t find him anywhere, so you check the last place you’d ever look, in Dark’s study. 
“Is everything alright? You look stressed, dearheart.”
“The kitten isn’t in my office and I can’t find him anywhere!”
“Oh do not fret, he has been here with me. Went looking for you, I assume, found someone else.”
You round Dark’s desk to see the kitten tucked into a ball in his lap, lying on part of his sweater.
“I thought you didn’t want anything to do with the cat.”
“And I did not. But when he started turning my desk into a scratching post, I decided I would put up with whatever affections were necessary to keep the damage to a minimum.”
“You’re gonna become a cat dad sooner or later. I can take him now though, I have his dinner ready.” “You will not disturb Mayor Whiskers from his slumber. He just fell asleep.”
“Mayor Whiskers?”
“A demanding fellow should have a professional status if he is so good at ordering people around.”
“Oh my gods…”
A twinkle in his eye makes you realize that he absolutely just named your cat for you, and now he is stuck with a ridiculous name.
“Maybe the Mayor is growing on me…”
“I can think of a different ex-mayor who is being a pain in my ass.”
“Does he also get to request dinner from you?”
“Fine, but you’re getting your own tea.”
“Not a problem at all.”
He resumes his book, leaving you to go make dinner for the two of you as he reads with a cat in his lap, like the old man he is.

Annyeonghaseyo Baeksussy, I have returned from Jeju and almost lost a kneecap, but overall it was fun and we saw a filming crew (I think a kpop boy group was filming something outside our hotel lmao, but we had no idea who they were). The weather in Seoul is so unpredictable like wdym one day it's 27°C and sunny and the next it's 15° and raining 🔫
Omfg hold on, so much has happened. Firstly I'm sorry about your principal's passing :/ secondly not you imagining Yunho as another guy AGAIN 😭 how is the writing going? Thirdly you watched SIXTEEN MOVIES LMAO which ones did you see?
Also good for your cousin, but come on don't slander MU fans that much sjsjaisjjsjssjsjshs (lowkey I consider being a Barca fan as red flag soz </3333) I decided not to pay attention to football for the time being cause it's boring and annoying and I can't even watch any matches live 🔫 I don't need the negativity in my life 🤚🏼 wtf is up in the F1 world? I see my man Lewis isn't winning :/
Speaking of food, I discovered vegan Jeju and my faves are Lan's Kitchen, Cheesylazy (for some reason I thought the name was Cheesyslay sjsjsjsjskaja so now we call it that) and one cafe/bakery with amazing cakes - And 유. Also 7/11 and CU have some more vegan products and even accidentally vegan ones, so I'm living <3
Yeah Limitless was underwhelming, there's a song called Diamond that's nicer, not really my thing, but Hwa and Yunho sound so good! Though I prefer them on a different song called Diamond 😅❤
I just want Ateez to stop releasing unnecessary songs and focus on a full album. Also not another fucking festival and in Qatar of all places..... good for the fans, but 🤡🤡🤡🤡 and Xikers are going too, KQ is really doing everything to attach them to Ateez
I heard Jimin's song so many times, like it's EVERYWHERE and ngl the single is better and a decent club song, but overall... nothing great. Hybe continues to piss me off!!! And the encore he did was... rough. https://twitter.com/jnksoluna/status/1641461317428215813?t=1sChI621kLP7pKFGzYGTzg&s=19 all the fandoms are beating him up 😭
I really really need to watch The Glory, but I've heard and seen so many spoilers already, rip. I kinda wanna rewatch S1 of AOS, cause it's my comfort show for sure. Everyone who prefers S2 has the right to do so, but don't try to convince me it was better, just say you were blinded by the angst and fluff 🙄
Okay so about YOU, let me spoil you then - I hope it'll sense made - in s4 Joe went to the UK started hanging out with insufferable posh people and "met" a guy named Reese (he was a writer and was running for Mayor of London). Turned out Reese was killing said posh twats and tried to frame Joe, became his stalker, wanted to be killing mates together (the Reese x Joe ship has sailed ajsuajahjsjsja). BUT! Lots of people noticed that during gatherings Joe was the only one who interacted with Reese and like we suspected - that whole thing was only in Joe's head cause he has split personality. So he basically dissociates and doesn't know what's going on. Reese was a real guy that Joe was obsessed with, but they never actually met and Joe was behind all the murders. Now that Joe accepted the truth and still wants to act like a saviour I feel even more icky about s5, he was always awful but his delusional monologues were funny. Now that he has a rich girlfriend and acts like a entrepreneur I'm like 😬😬😬😬🤚🏼
I did not talk to Jin Goo, because we were far away, but the way my hand automatically waved and he was like "🧐😀👋🏻" and then I quickly opened my phone to yell about it. Imagine if I saw Soohyuk or Dohwan or someone else I've been obsessing over 😳 (BTW NEW WOO DO HWAN DRAMA) you'd not hear from me! My friend saw Kim Mingue three times in the past month cause he came to the same cafe as her
TAEMIN HAS A NEW CAT AND THE NAME IS DAENGDAENGIE??? 😭😭😭😭😭

At Least We Have Us
Pairing(s): Darkiplier x Platonic!reader
Genre: Angsty with a fluffy end.
Word Count: 1,771
Summary: Strange things happened to those who didn’t leave that dreadful manor in time, and you were one of those people. Becoming something not quite human took some time to get used to, but at least you weren’t alone.
Anonymous Request: Platonic Dark with a soft Y/N that's basically very motherly of him despite being much younger? She cares a lot about him and looks up to him. Maybe she's his assistant and also experienced the events of WKM and Dark basically adopted her after that? Post-WKM please! I need Dark being a wise and over protective big brother rn Thank youuuu
Authors Note: I loved working on this one! It was a fun concept, thank you so much for the request!

[Image Description: A gif of Mark from a vlog video giving a thumbs up to the camera, it has been edited to be gray with Darkipliers afterimages and colors, red and blue.]
Dark...That was such a strange name to call him, at first.
Damien had been a family friend. He was your neighbor, and your best friend’s uncle. When you were a teenager he was a respected member of the local government, a man who hid away in a study and worked far too hard. Eventually with enough pushing from Ophelia, he was your boss, having given you an internship in city hall that Elli really didn’t want. You considered him a friend. Maybe not a close friend, but he was someone you trusted and respected and he would say the same about you.
You jogged up the stairs to the office, dodging past people while muttering quick apologies to anyone who had something to say about it. When you got there, you heard the laughter of your friend through the door and cracked it open. Ophelia was desperately trying to catch her breath between giggles, of course because Damien was telling another story about your completely sophisticated soon-to-be DA. He was surprisingly relaxed, leaning back on his desk and talking with his hands quite a bit.
“But of course, that doesn’t stop them, they run down the street- Oh, Y/n please come in. You’ll want to hear this.” He gestured to the empty chair beside Elli, but when you didn’t move from the doorway, both their faces fell. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong,” You tilted your head at them, not realizing how you looked, pale and out of breath. “Damien, they’re done counting. You won.”
He was in shock for a few moments, only standing up a bit straighter as he processed your words. “I won? I’m...?”
“You’re going to be the Mayor.” Ophelia finished for him, just before all three of you started laughing and cheering and jumping around.
In many conversations there were moments where you would catch a glimpse of the person you used to know, and in the beginning you would get a heavy heart. You weren’t ready to let him go, to accept that he was somebody else now. Perhaps that’s because it would mean accepting you were somebody else, too.
None of the guests from that damned party left the manor the same.
You heard it so clearly, a stranger’s voice coaxing you up the stairs, quietly whispering your name over and over as you slipped away from the rowdy party. You were practically hypnotized, not thinking about who it could possibly be or their intentions as they lead you to a room that sent chills down your spine the moment you opened the door. It was a room filled with trinkets of the occult, books with terrifying symbols, and scribbles of a mad man on papers scattered all over.
“You’re not supposed to be in here.” You heard a growl from a new voice, just behind you. The person shoved you inside the room and slammed the door as you hit the ground. “In fact, I could’ve sworn this was going to be hidden from all of you.”
You stood up as quickly as you could, turning to see the host of the party scowling at you. “I wasn’t...I was just looking for Elli.” You said quickly, brushing off your clothes.
“The same Elli that told you she was going to lay down for the night a couple of hours ago?” He stepped closer, slowly, ominously.
You thought back to that conversation, spoken quietly, just the two of you on the staircase while everyone else was still playing poker. “How could you even know about that?”
Mark grinned at you, sinister and cold. He gestured around the room, to the books and trinkets. “Things aren’t as they seem here, Y/n. Ever since Celine...left me here, the things in this house had opened my mind to things I never could’ve imagined.” A short laugh bubbled out of him. “I can do anything.”
“You’ve gone mad.” You whispered, backing away. You’d heard bits and pieces of the Iplier drama from Damien, having vented his concerns to you over cups of coffee during work since the day you got your invitations. But you knew now that he had no idea.
“Perhaps they were trying to do the same for you, but I’ve come too far for some kid to screw it all up now.” He turned on his feet and left the room, shutting the door behind him. You rushed over to it, trying to twist the knob before he got a chance to lock it. But it was far too late. You banged on the door and screamed for help until your voice went hoarse, but the room had in fact been hidden away. You were surrounded by taunting spirits in a room that nobody existed, for what felt like weeks. You could feel them gnawing away at bits and pieces of you after that, an itchy feeling under your heart, changing you. Truly, time had been warped, and only one day had passed before you were found by someone who was now immune to the houses secrets and cloaks. And he didn’t say anything, but clearly something had happened to you too.
Funny thing about living forever? (Or at least as long as you have,) It’s not that great, in fact it’s actually very lonely. The world changes around you, and you don’t change that much at all. You often have to leave, not wanting the attention of being the same age after living or working somewhere for 20 or 30 years. Or you get too attached to somebody and you know you will lose them, now or later.
But you weren’t alone. Despite his anger towards Mark, how badly he wanted revenge, Dark kept very close to you. Especially after he learned what happened to his niece, he was going to keep you safe above all else. Mark learned that the hard way when he tried to silence you too, only to find an empty house and a rather cheeky note.
“Catch me if you can.”
Another funny thing, you didn’t even know the power that you had when you first wrote that. As far as you knew you were a normal girl waiting out the storm. But eventually waiting got pretty tiresome.
“How could you be so foolish?” Dark called after you as you both stormed back into the house.
“Oh come on, it wasn’t that big a deal.” You huffed, tossing your jacket away.
His image faltered and glitched at what you said. “Not a big deal? You have the gift of longevity, you are NOT impervious to bullets!”
You flopped down into the armchair, crossing your arms. “We don’t know that yet.”
“You sprained your ankle tripping on air last month, I think it’s safe to say.” For a moment you could’ve sworn he smiled. If it wasn’t at your expense, you might’ve been happy. “You wonder why I hover,”
“Someone had to step in and do something.”
“Why did it have to be you?!”
“Because!” You twisted around in the chair to face him, fighting back tears. “I’m bored! I’m sick of living like a hermit! I’m tired of these stupid towns in the middle of nowhere and never having any friends...it’s been almost a century Dark, I don’t know how much longer I can do this.”
He pierced his lips, having to look away from you before he got emotional himself. “So this is your plan? Play hero until you run out of luck?”
“Or we can stop hiding. We can try and live our lives, instead of just surviving. I mean, what's the point if we’re completely miserable?”
“And what about him?”
“To hell with Mark, what about you?” Your voice was softer now. “I can work, and shop and be neighborly. But you...you’ve been stuck in the shadows, holding onto your hate all this time. Maybe you don’t believe it after everything that’s happened, but you deserve better.”
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “What then? Where do you want to go?”
“How about we go home?”
‘Home’ was California, LA specifically. Sure, you could’ve gone back to your hometown but you were both part of a rather famous local mystery and you agreed it was for the best to stay away.
The sun had set a little bit ago and the streets were only illuminated by signs and street lights, that was the only way he’d agree to go out into the city with you, in the dark. Fair enough, he didn’t want to attract attention to himself. Luckily, you’d made some good friends in the last few months, friends like Mike.
“Ah, bonjour!” Mike greeted cheerfully as you and Dark approached the window, before ducking into his shop to get you both a bowl of ice cream. “I was wondering if you were going to show up.”
You nudged Dark over to one of the tables and leaned in the window. “I didn’t mean for it to take so long, thanks for keeping the shop open late for us.”
“Don’t mention it. I actually have a cousin with really bad anxiety, so I get it.” He passed you two bowls with a smile.
Dark squinted at you when you came back to the table. ‘Anxiety?”
“Yeah?”
“I don’t have anxiety.”
“You’re right, I should’ve told him the truth. You and your sister possessed your best friend in the 1920′s to escape a place called the upside down, but sometimes you drag bits and pieces of it into the real world and that would probably scare the locals in broad daylight.” You didn’t miss a beat in your little rant, scooping some ice cream into your mouth as soon as you were done.
He chuckled and shook his head at you. “I’m supposed to be the one lecturing you on being subtle.”
“Hey, I’m the one who’s been covering for us the past 91 years. It’s your turn to follow my lead.” You said matter-of-factly, pointing your spoon at him, before you dove back into your bowl. You missed the ‘fair-enough’ nod he gave you and the pride written all over his face, another glimpse of someone you used to know. “You know, maybe you should bring you-know-who here someday.”
His eyes went wide and he shook your words off just a little too quickly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“So you don’t have a thing for his new friend that you’re watching out for?”
“Stop it. Stop it right now.”
“Fine,” You put your hands up in mock surrender, “But you know I’m right.”

The Angel of Death Pt24
Inspired by this Story Starter by @someone-ev
AO3   Prologue   Beginning   Previous   Next
When she went downstairs she couldn't help but think about how nothing here had changed. Hearing that her Nonna hired someone to clean she'd assumed it was empty but nothing was different from how she remembered. All the furniture was in exactly the same place. Even the pictures and books seemed not to have moved. She couldn't decide if it was nice or creepy.
"How did you know I was here?" Family or not, there was no reason for her to be here. Last Tris knew the woman was in South America.
"As soon as Harkmoth appeared I started monitoring the Mayor's communications. It was inevitable that he'd panic and look for help so I made sure he'd contact you. I could never find a way to get ahead of you until now." The pride in her voice was unexpected but it made Tris feel warm. It was strange to have an adult praise her, even indirectly. “Even knowing you were in the city I couldn’t find you which is why I was hoping you’d come here.”
“How did you make sure he contacted me?” She knew she was very young when she was taken but she didn’t remember anything about her Nonna that would lead her to believe she was more than a world traveler. Even her research since hadn’t unearthed anything, granted she hadn’t been looking beyond the surface. That had been a mistake obviously.
“I planted the original idea with his daughter over a year ago actually. Whenever I go to see her father she comes to talk to me about you. I mentioned contacting the Angel of Death to go after traffickers. After that I made sure some of his emails, or phone calls subtly suggested using you for various problems. That is my gift, the power of suggestion. It’s nothing compared to yours but it serves me well.” Tris could only blink at her. Then suddenly she thought back to her last few jobs as well as some she’d turned down. The wording in the contacts had been strange on some of the one’s she’d turned down. They’d just given her a bad feeling.
“You tried to use it on me first didn’t you?” She looked surprised and Tris knew she was right. “So you tried to get me where you wanted directly and when that didn’t work you decided to manipulate me second hand?” She hated people playing mind games on her. Hated being controlled.
“Only because I didn’t know how else to see you. I’m not stupid Marinette. All the jobs you take are about as far from wherever I am as possible. There’s no way that’s a coincidence. If I had contacted you directly would you even have answered?” She opened her mouth to replay but couldn’t. She honestly didn’t know what she would have done.
"It's my fault they're dead. I thought you'd hate me if you knew what really happened." And that didn't even include what she'd done since. She was a monster, she had to be to have such a soulmate.
“It was never your fault, and I could never hate you. You should be the one mad at me for letting your parents make decisions when they didn’t understand you. Your father didn’t inherit any powers himself and your mother’s family never showed any signs of them either. But I knew the risk they were taking. Could I have predicted what happened? No, but given that you presented with gifts so strongly I should have at least considered it.” Tris frowned at her in confusion.
“I don’t understand.” The words came out through gritted teeth. In the League such a statement would have earned a harsh punishment. In her life now not understanding could easily kill her. Not understanding herself and what she was capable of was basically a ticking time bomb.
“Power draws more power to it, always. The gifts you were born with have the potential to shape the world. It was inevitable that you would gain attention. I had hoped that suppressing them would give us more time, at least for me to convince your parents of the necessity of properly training you. They wanted you to live a normal life first. They wanted you to be happy and not burdened with what you could do.” That certainly sounded like her parents. Now that she thought about it her Maman had constantly tried to get her to help people when she saw their weaknesses. Her Papa had tried so hard to keep her interest in making things rather than destroying them.
“They were afraid of me weren’t they? Afraid of what I was capable of.” After all the effort they’d put in she’d become exactly what they were trying to avoid. “What am I capable of?” She finally looked up to see her Nonna’s reaction and there was nothing but sympathy on her face.
“Your parents weren’t afraid of you, they just didn’t understand. As to what you’re capable of, I’m not entirely certain. You’ve always been advanced in strategy and seeing the flaws in everything. I think you were three when you started fixing your father’s recipes.” She sounded amused but Tris just frowned. She remembered being his taste tester, but she’d assumed he liked giving her treats. “Then there are the threads.”
“You know I can see them?” That got a surprised look and she watched her Nonna open and close her mouth a few times.
“As in you can see them now?” Tris just nodded. “The magic suppressing you must have failed somehow. It’s not just seeing them either. You can actually manipulate them which was why we did what we did. I wanted to take you to a remote area and let you learn to use your gifts in nature. It’s much harder to change the way a rock is connected to a tree then it is people. You would have learned far better control without the chance of messing with people’s lives. But that’s neither here nor there at the moment.”
“So you’re saying I can potentially change the string between two people and make them go from friends to enemies without anything in their lives changing?” Her Nonna frowned at the question but Tris’s mind was reeling. How many people had she affected? She’d only started seeing the strings after fixing Duusu’s Miraculous, but what if she’d been subconsciously changing things all this time? Had she wanted her parents dead and simply attached herself to Damian to make it happen?
“I don’t know your full potential but when you were little you could only manage small shifts. Granted if you keep doing them over time you could do what you said, but it would take a long time. The bigger the change the harder it is to shift. The longer a relationship has been in place, the less likely you can affect it easily. You also could never create a relationship from nothing.” More questions without answers. Why did everything have to be so complicated?

Tumblr media
25 Juli 2018.
My legs swung on the sides of the building as I patiently waited, my headphones where on at full volume so all I heard was my music. That was until my music softened due to an incoming call. With a sigh I turned around to grab my phone from my bag. ‘Hmm?’ I mumbled into the phone after answering.
‘Target is on the move’ the voice on the other end said before hanging up. ‘As if I didn’t know already’ I whispered before leaning to the side and settling the rifle on the stand between my legs. As I hummed along with the song my headphones had continued playing, I looked through the scope.. He was almost in sight, and not to forget.. way behind on his and now my schedule.
I watched as my target, some important political person, got into sight. He walked up the stand to start his speech, which he spend the entire night writing. Which I would know, considering I had watched him write it.
‘Good afternoon everyone, thank you all for coming’ he began, watching as some people hurried to their seat. ‘I know you’ve all seen the news these past few days, so I won’t start with some bullshit story about how there is nothing to worry about.’ I snickered a little as some people turned to look at each other and some shifted uncomfortable in their seats. ‘For the few of you that maybe haven’t seen the news.. Let me make this short, basically some mafia groups decided it was a good idea to cause some fuss’ he said before letting out a sigh as some people started to get up and ask questions.
As I continued to watch I felt my phone begin to vibrate and my music softening again. I groaned before picking up the phone ‘what?’, I snarled a little to rude for everyone’s liking, I was talking to a mafia boss after all. ‘Why is this guy still talking, what’s taking you so long? Just take the shot!’ the voice said angrily. ‘Calm down, I was just listening to his interesting speech’ I mumbled as I hang up, not letting him continue. ‘It’s always the same with these guys’
‘However-’ he said raising his hands and getting everyone to quiet down. ‘-We will fix this city, we will take down the mafia and put a stop to all of this’ he finished as people started yelling in cheers. ‘Fine, time to end this’ I said to myself as I fixed my rifle, turning on all the right settings and… fire… The sound of the shot was being silenced by the silencer attached to the end, but also by all the cheering going on.
The cheering quickly turned into screaming as his body fell to the floor. The bodyguards around him ran over to help him, but it was already too late.. the bullet went straight through the head. I watched for a moment as people ran away, scrambling in fear of being hit.
After a few more seconds I disarmed the rifle, taking it apart and stuffing it in the bag next to me. As I stood up I grabbed my phone from the ground and watched as the money was being transferred to me. I swung the bag over my shoulder and put my hat on, walking to the fire escape. If I walked among a crowd I would look like some young college student, you would have no idea I had a deadly firearm in my bag. Luckily for me the running crowd also helped.
I stuffed my phone in my pocket before climbing down the fire escape, the bleeping sound imminent as the number of cash kept growing. After jumping down the last bit I quickly joined the groups of people, some were running towards the stage while others just tried to run away. As I continued to walk to my home I checked my phone every now and then, the amount of money still rising.
The mafia group I did this job for was a new and uprising group, they were the ones causing trouble. While the bigger groups just tried to calm things down and get back control. There are 3 mafia groups that are currently active in Seoul. The new group was called GOT7, nobody knew much about them. They didn’t do a lot of dealing, they just wanted others to know about them. They were also the ones that hired me for this job, they wanted the city to know they could do some serious damage with the right people.
The second group was called Bangtan, or something like that. They were more quiet, they had a few night clubs and from what I heard they gave good parties. I had also done a few jobs for them but they were nothing mayor, usually just a little ‘watching’ or get information.
And the last one was called EXO, they were probably the biggest and almost everyone had heard of them in one way or another. They were a group that also, surprisingly, had done some good to this city. You could usually find a few of this group in the area where I lived.
I might even had a few in my bar, which was my ‘normal’ way of income. My dad used to have a small bar on the side of town and right before he passed, he gave it to me. I did my best to keep it running, but with my other job it got kind of difficult sometimes. Luckily I had a few people helping me out, some of my remaining family and also my good friend Lu Han. They had all helped me with rebuilding some of it and they also helped me with changing the later added rooms, so I could turn that into my house. It was small but it wasn’t like I was there a lot anyway.
In all my time of spying, killing and beating people up I hadn’t really met with all the mafia folk. I preferred to do business over the phone, considering I didn’t want them to see my face. In the beginning Bangtan had asked for a meetup as they just wanted to know who they were working with, which was understandable.. And I had to admit, I was curious too. So when I did meet up with the groups or other people that need my ‘services’, I always wore a mask. Because of the money I got from all these jobs it was a good one too.
It pretty much covered my entire face but I could ‘open’ it at certain points, so you could either see my eyes or my mouth. It was made of this really strong steel so it was as good as bulletproof, although I had yet to test this theory. When I met with Bangtan I let them see my eyes, so there was a certain amount of trust with us. They trusted me enough to do some jobs for them and so far I hadn’t disappointed them.
GOT7 mostly offered the jobs like before and I hadn’t really worked with EXO, as they were kind of a tight group. Of course there were other people that paid for either information or to get rid of someone. I had even done some spying for a woman because she thought her husband was cheating on her.. and she was right. So I gave her the right photos and she got a divorce, not the best job but it was easy money.
It was around night time when I reached my apartment, the speech was in the afternoon so I had taken longer than expected . I entered my building through the back door, locking it behind me and walking to the desk. After throwing my keys into a basket I grabbed the remote and turned on the television, curious as to what to news had to say about the recent murder.
As I watched the news, where they just mourned and talked about the scandal that happened in broad daylight. The media was also accusing the bodyguards for not doing their jobs right, after all it indeed was light and they hadn’t even seen me. Not that anyone ever did.. but that was just plain sloppy.
I grabbed an apple from the basked and hopped onto the bar as I grabbed my phone from my pocket. The full amount of money had been completely transferred into my account, this meant I could also finish rebuilding the bar. After all it was my plan to stop my side job when the bar was finished and running smoothly.
I was pulled from my thoughts by the sound of someone unlocking the bar door and shutting it behind them, locking it again. Two of my workers, Kate and Anne walked in laughing to something they said. They greeted me as they came into sight, Lu Han walking closely behind them. ‘Are you really planning on working again, you do know you don’t get paid for that right?’ I mocked him as he just smiled at me. ‘Actually no, I just came to check on you and get drunk’ he laughed as he pulled me in for a hug, pulling me off the bar so Kate could clean it.
‘Well in that case you’re a costumer and we sir, are not open yet’ Anne giggled at my comment as she began to pull the chairs off the tables and setting them up. The two worked to tidy the place up as Lu took a seat at the bar, but not before grabbing a beer from one of the small fridges. His attention turned to the television as his brows furrowed. ‘This is getting out of hand, the mafia shot this guy in broad daylight and got away with it. What else are these guys capable of’ he muttered and took a swig of his drink. I simply shrugged my shoulders, causing him to look at me.
‘Does that not bother you at all?’ he asked me with surprise in his voice. ‘As long as they don’t touch my bar or my family I.. I don’t know, care I guess. It’s not even anywhere close by, I’m sure they won’t come here’ I admitted as I grabbed a drink for myself. ‘Ok girls, I’m rolling up the shutters’ I said before grabbing the remote and pressing the button. As the shutters slowly went up I noticed it was already super dark outside, the streetlights barely doing anything. ‘I hate this town’ Lu muttered as he took another sip.
It took only an hour or two before the bar was pretty much packed, it was Saturday after all. The girls were serving drinks and snacks to the people at the table as I took care of Lu and the others that were seated at the bar. Lu was pretty hammered, laughing at almost everything I told him. It was moments like this that I was happy I had a spare room, which is where he usually ended up when he was drunk in my bar… Or just drunk general, sometimes he went out to other places but he always forgets where he lives so he just gave the cab driver my address instead.
Lu looked around hazily before his gaze went to the front door and stayed there for a while. ‘Shit’ he muttered under his breath before quickly looking back ahead. It only took a few seconds before he got off his chair and started stumbling to the door leading upstairs to the other rooms. He typed the code into the lock pad and went inside, closing the door behind him which locked instantly.
As I tried to figure out who, or what he was running from a voice caught my attention. ‘Excuse me?’ I heard someone say, causing me to look towards the source of the voice. ‘Have you by any chance seen my friend, he was just sitting here a moment ago. But I think we walked by each other’ he explained as he looked around the room before looking back at me. The guy in front of me was wearing an expensive looking black suit and he just looked like… well trouble.
‘You say that as if I’m supposed know your friends-’ I started causing one of the guys behind him to snicker. ‘But I did see someone go to the toilets over there, but I don’t know if he’s the one you’re looking for’ I shrugged as I nodded in the direction of the toilets.
The guy turned around to the three guys behind him, who I assumed were here with him. He simply looked towards the bathroom, causing two of the guys to walk off in that direction. One stayed outside while the other one went inside, probably looking for Lu, who of course was upstairs.
I grabbed a glass from the bar, washing it a little before drying it with a cloth. As I did this I tried to keep an eye on the two guys at the toilets but the one in front of me grabbed my attention again. ‘Oh I’m sorry, I’m being awfully rude. I haven’t even introduced myself’ he laughed a little as he stretched his arm out to me, offering me his hand. ‘I’m Minseok I’m a friend of Lu Han’ he smiled at me, as he waited for my name. With a bit of hesitation I put the glass and the cloth away and offered him my name and my hand.
‘Nice to meet you, do you work here part-time?’ he continued the conversation as he waited for the two others guys, the one behind him looking around the room. ‘Actually I am the owner’ I explained causing the other one to look at me. When he saw I was looking at him he quickly turned to look the other way. Just as Minseok was about to say something the two guys came walking back from the toilets. One of them tapped his shoulder, causing him to turn sideways and look at them.
One of the guys leaned in a little as he whispered something into his ear. After a few seconds Minseok sat straight again and let out a deep sigh. ‘I’m sorry but I must leave’ he muttered before looking at me and running a hand through his hair. ‘I hope to see you again sometime’ he smiled at me before giving me a small wink and getting up. The group of four walked to the door and almost as soon as they stepped out of the bar you could feel the atmosphere chance.
‘Did you see that guy?’ the person that had sat next to him said to another as soon as they got out of the bar. ‘Yeah, you really think that’s him, that he’s that mafia boss?’ another said as they huddled together a bit, hoping to quiet their conversation.
I looked out the window, only to find them already gone. So they were part of one of those mafia groups in town, maybe that new one? I’d didn’t matter really, the only thing that did was how the hell they know Lu and what did he do this time to get involved with the mafia.

chapter one part one
Tumblr media
The house was just as empty as always. The large glass windows covering every wall made it feel like a fishbowl. If it wasn’t for the large gate and winding driveway to the house, Stella would have felt completely unsafe. Then again, Stella hadn’t felt safe for a year. Not since Alison disappeared. 
September first was a warm day in California. Adorned in her pajamas from the night before, Stella made her way through the kitchen. She was hungry, craving everything and anything. It was cliche but she especially wanted some peanut butter and pickles. One hand cradling her stomach which was now visibly showing, the other rubbing a sore in her neck. She was so focused on the hungry pang in her stomach she didn’t even notice the other presence in the room. “Good morning.” The raspy voice called out, calling her attention the guy sitting at the counter, a half-eaten bowl of cereal in front of him. 
“Hunter, you’re up early.” Stella teased, sending her stepbrother a knowing smirk. She knew he was out all last night with some friends. Probably going to some A-lister parties due to the privilege of having Grant Carter as his step-dad. She went out a few times this summer with him for a few lunch dates with him and his socialite friends. But once her photo ended up on a tabloid wondering who this mystery girl was, she stopped. She couldn’t be caught. Not in her state, and not attached to her parents’ names. 
Hunter just scoffed in response, shoveling more Frosted Flakes into his mouth. “Could say the same to you, Balloon.”  
“Wow, nice. Make fun of the pregnant girl.” She shot back immediately, not paying too much attention as she shifted through the fridge, the cool air that gushed out refreshing her in the Cali heat. It was full of organic food: kale, tofu, and rows upon rows of green cleanse juices. Karolina was a little eccentric, to say the least. Settling on one of Rosie’s organic and vegan brand Go-Gurts, she turned back to Hunter. “How the Hell did you get sugar cereal into this prison?” 
Hunter laughed loudly, his laugh much more giggly than deep. He grinned, his dimples deep. He looked like a puppy when he grinned like that, amusement evident on his face. “I thought you were warming up to the Brady Bunch Stells.” It couldn’t have been more ironic. Her dad’s new family were the ‘Brady’s and they were just as perfect. Karolina was the sweetest woman, but also strong and the mayor of the town. She oozed power but also was super motherly and caring. The closest to a mother figure Stella could ever have. Hunter was fun. He always knew how to make Stella laugh, and they used to go out a lot together hitting every VIP club and bar they could hit when she visited. Then there was Kayla. One would expect Stella and Kayla to be neck to neck. That Kayla would be an evil step sister just like in the movies. Well, she had her moments but nothing worse than a typical 14-year-old girl who’s a little privileged. Kayla probably would have been a little monster if she didn’t love the idea of having a new shopping buddy and someone to watch trashy reality tv with. 
“Oh God, don’t act like I ever hated you guys. I’m pretty sure I stayed for Christmas a year after the quote en quote scandal. I just feel more comfortable now with everyone. Plus, I’m very grateful that Karolina has been so kind considering...” She trailed off, gesturing to the bump at her stomach. “Gianni pretty much screamed his head off at me for two hours straight. I swear it was the most we have talked since I was born and it was 95% Italian and profanities.” 
Hunter laughed again, but this time it was much shorter, his usual wide grin dropping slightly. His eyes were filled with concern, making Stella slightly uncomfortable as she felt the mood drop in the room, She focused instead, on the stubborn plastic on the Go-Gurt, finally managing to open the tube, and eating some despite the sudden loss of appetite. 
“We all make mistakes, Stells. It’ll get better.” 
Only if Hunter knew. If he knew what news was going to be delivered that morning. What mistakes were really going to catch up to Stella. How there was no chance anything was going to get ‘better.’ 
Willa was 4 months old, resting on Stella’s hip as she surveyed the empty house, bouncing her lightly. The last thing she needed right now was a baby crying. It was hard being in Rosewood. Back to where everything happened. Where she lost Alison. The town had obviously changed since she was gone, or maybe she just did. She was used to sunny California where a girl hadn’t been missing for a year. Sunny California where she was always surrounded by people, her family. 
She didn’t know how much she missed it until her feet hit the cold marble floor. The house felt more barren than it ever has. Probably because she was expecting her father and Raphael. Of course, they didn’t come. She was too much of a shame now to her extraordinary designer of a father.  Dropping her bag on the floor, she made her way upstairs towards her room. Walking down the long hallway her curiosity peaked when she noticed one of the guest room’s doors were open, light flittering out from the crack. She moved slowly to the door, furrowing her eyebrows together in confusion. Was someone else here? Did Gianni decide to see her after all? Pushing open the wooden door slowly she peeked inside.
What was inside surprised her more than the presence of her own father could. Pictures of animals hung on the wall, a cushy rug on the floor, and assortments of pillows and cloths. As well as a crib. Her father made a nursery for her. Well, he paid someone to make it for her. But the thought meant everything. It was most likely Raphael’s idea, being the softy he is, but for Gianni to actually make it happen was a huge step. 
“Willa, look! Your room is so pretty...” She looked down at the little angelic face that was her daughter, a smile on her lips. She couldn’t help but love the precious little being she held in her arms, how her eyes were slowly fluttering closed. Exhaustion was hitting her just like it was her mom. Both had a long journey from California to Pennsylvania. Letting out a breath of relief, Stella carried her babe gently, placing her down in the new soft padding of the crip. “Get a good rest tonight sweetheart.” She cooed, leaning down and pressing a kiss on the baby’s smooth forehead. Already passed out, Willa’s small breaths were audible. Stella could have watched her for ages, looking down at her from above the crib, a distant look on her face. Life without Willa in it feels like a different reality, something very far away. A life where she had Alison.
“Stella?” Grant Carter’s booming voice echoed off the large corridor’s walls. “Stella!” He called again, sounding closer. Stella straightened up, her eyes meeting Hunter’s, both kids with wide eyes. Grant Carter was always cool and collected even in the midst of big films when tensions and stress should have been high. But here he was yelling around the house with such agency. 
“Dad? I’m in the kitchen!” Stella called back, a frown etching itself into her face. Her body surged with worry. Something in her gut was telling her something bad was happening, that whatever her father was going to say was going to change her life. She was correct.
Grant Carter in his infamous white V-neck tee and faded jeans turned around the corner. He was a typical attractive man in his 40s with tan skin and salt and pepper hair. He looked like a movie star and acted like one too. But he was acting much different than usual. He was stiff, his eyes sharp, and his frown deep. 
“Dad, what is it?” Stella asked, bracing herself for the worst as her father opened and closed his mouth repeatedly trying to find his words. He was always better at presenting his thoughts visually. “Dad?”
“It’s Alison. Mr. Dilaurentis called. She’s missing.”

More fredsythe high school headcannons please!
:’)
i dont even know if this really counts as a headcanon but i was watching a lot of 500 days of summer when i was on the cruise cuz thats pretty much the only movie they played but anyway you know the scene where tom and summer are sitting at toms favorite spot in the city and he’s telling her about the skyline and how he wants to add to it and whatever and then draws on her arm? well... it got me to thinking about teenage fred and all his hopes and dreams of one day being mayor and he’s just hanging out with fp one day and telling him all the ideas he has for the town and fp says “show me.” but they dont have any paper around so fp offers up his arm. freds all focused drawing out his plans, explaining things to fp as he goes along and fp is half paying attention to the drawing, more so paying attention to the cute look of concentration on freds face. fp tells him “you know i’d be first in line to vote for you, right?” and fred just laughs and glances up at him and says “you better.”
fp lost his virginity to fred you absolutely will never change my mind about that. its not happening
speaking first times... theirs was junior year. (they didnt start “dating” til mid-late sophomore year). it was a whole ordeal. they had exchanged sloppy handjobs and blowjobs by that point but one of them would always chicken out before anything went further. until one day they decided they really wanted to go all the way. (i cant decide if it happened in fps bachelor pad trailer or if fred had a rare weekend at home by himself and he invited fp over) but heres what i do know: they were both real fucking nervous. fred had already slept with girls before but this was completely different. neither of them knew what the fuck they were doing. the whole thing was awkard and clumsy and fp definitely didnt last long (he was on top just fyi. took a long time for that boy to embrace his true bottom self. it was an emotional journey) but neither of them would change it for the world because at the end of it they felt more connected to each other than ever and they definitely spend the rest of the weekend practicing and honing their skills and god they were so fucking domestic with each other.... pretending like they were an actual real adult couple living on their own... and they were already handsy with each other before but now? they might as well have been literally attached at the hip. 
another not-quite-headcanon but runaway train by soul asylum is playing right now and i just got this visual of fred and fp laying in bed with this song playing softly in the background and it makes me emo so... youre welcome
theyd always sneak out behind the gym for at least one song during every school dance. no matter who their dates were. no matter if they had gotten into a fight earlier that day/week. theyd always meet up at their spot. 
fp was HELLA jealous of all the girls fred took out but instead of fighting about it they just... turned it into this little game. fp would come strolling up to fred at school saying that he heard he had a date that night and then he would give fred this look and ask if he was gonna stop by fps after. the answer was always yes. and when fred inevitably showed up smelling like his dates or god forbid had lipstick on his face he forgot to wipe off fp would get real possessive and fred was in for a n i g h t. fp didnt mind fred going out with half the town but the nights fred went out with either hermione or mary hit fp pretty hard and those were the nights fred had to be gentle with fp and remind him how much he loved him... if he even bothered showing up. 
theres a tree in fox forest with their initials carved onto it. their initials are carved everywhere in that town
their secret symbols for each other were a sun (fred) and moon (fp). theyd sign notes and things like that so in case anyone ever found them they wouldnt know who it was from.
they also gave each other stick n poke tattoos. fred has a lil crescent moon on his inner thigh and fp has a sun on his pelvis. 
fp pierced his nose himself senior year and fred thought it was the hottest goddamn thing he’d ever seen.... after he of course had to clean it up because fp is an irresponsible dumb mess and that thing was like 2 seconds away from getting infected if fred didnt step in
fred was a nervous wreck when fp joined the serpents and he tried to talk him out of it so many times and the night fp came crawling in through freds window covered in blood and scrapes and cuts and bruises fred almost had a fit (dont even get him started on the fucking snake bite ritual)
fred was just very weary of the serpents and everything they represented until one day fp asked him to come down to the wyrm so he could show fred what it was actually like and when fred got there he was shocked to see how comfortable fp was and how open he was being. he was actually holding freds hand in public and that was something that never happened. it was the first time fred actually got it. that the serpents were the accepting family fp never had. he still didnt agree with the whole criminal lifestyle and he didnt trust any of these people around his wallet but he understood the appeal fp saw a little more.
fred and fp swapped letterman jackets all the time :’) on purpose, on accident... it was not uncommon for someone to come up to one of them asking why the others name was on their jacket. (also please consider them going on dates where freds wearing his letterman jacket and fps wearing his serpent jacket. also imagine fp draping his serpent jacket over freds shoulders. fred fucking drowns in that thing its so big on him wow...)
jock boyfriends.... working out together all the time.... helping each other practice with baseball and football.... but they always end up getting distracted because they just end up messing around with each other and wrestling and kissing each other all over.... theyre so in love hal

Headcannons: Chocobros on Animal Crossing
(I can’t believe this is the subject of my first writing piece on here fml)
***the bros share a town
Prompto
Boi’s been playing it since the original on the gamecube, it always made him feel less lonely (#relatable)
Now he just plays it to chill
Not as big of a fan for New Leaf as he was with previous games, but still plays it cause it’s the only one the bros like
His favorite aspect is interacting with the villagers. He attends every single birthday in town, sends more letters and presents than you and I ever did, and oh jeez god help the other bros when his favorite villager leaves
Gets way too attached to villagers and takes what they say to heart. The Grumpy villagers on the gamecube version once made him cry
L O V E S the dogs, you bet your bottom bell this boi bought every single dog amiibo card
The soul reason he plays New Leaf? Isabelle.
Lowkey has PTSD from Tom Nook; this boi here never fully paid off his loans
Struggles with making money ingame, can’t afford half the furniture he wants
“428,000 BELLS FOR A BASEMENT?!”
Hands the game to Noctis when he needs money (Noct is king of the bell bringers)
Is scared of Resetti (once made Prom cry)
Bones moved out without telling Prom. He cried for 3 weeks.
Admittedly likes dressing his character up in goofy costumes, his favorites are the hero outfits
Not so great at decorating or designing the town but he tries
Prefers leaving his towns more natural with loads of trees and flowers spread out randomly (pfft not with Ignis around tho)
Sends presents and cute lil letters to the bros
Saves literally every single letter he gets
This boy LIVES for the holidays, he makes notes about what the villagers want from Jingle, what they’re scared of for Halloween, and he collects things way in advance for Thanksgiving
Noctis
Saw Prom playing it one night, got curious and stole it for a few days
“Hey Noct, have you seen my 3DS?”
“No, maybe it fell in the Regalia?” Noct you asshole
At first, he didn’t see the appeal, but once he found out about fishing, the boy became obsessed
Got sick of playing as Prom’s character, so he made his own
Doesn’t care much for decorating his house, but that’s where he displays his fish. Only upgrades it to hold more fish.
What little furniture he has is mismatched and thrown down in the most random ways
“Hey Noct, what’s up with the flower chair facing the wall?”
“I dunno.”
Noctis single handedly supplies the museum fish, but nothing else
He somehow paid off all his loans and became a bellionaire in a week (Prom thinks he used the duplication glitch (he did) but can’t prove it) 
Basic clothing except one thing; he wears the crown nonstop
Usually ignores any requests the villagers give him, unless it involves fishing
Actually, he usually ignores the villagers, too
Sometimes sends Prom items that he really wants in letters
“Dear Blondie, Here From Noctis”
Whenever Prom wants money, Noctis takes over as Prom’s character and badaboom badabing Poor Prom is a Rich Prom
Ignores letters for the most part and deletes them; except the ones from mom and dad, he saves every single one (they make him smile and feel warm and fuzzy and sometimes sad)
Whenever he misses his parents he likes to look at the letters from his character’s ingame parents
Lowkey likes to dick around on the other bro’s files; once fucked up Ignis’ house so bad the man was practically a frozen brick to Noct for a week
“Hey Specs, what’s for dinner?”
“There might have been memory cake, but it appears my kitchen has disappeared.” the bros had to make their own ramen that night
Ignis
No one expected him to like it so much
Or at least, the bros think he likes it?
Tutted at how bad Prom was with being mayor, and ended up playing “merely to correct the town’s issues”
Next thing ya know, he’s playing as Mayor Prompto more often than Prom, boi basically stole Prom’s character (Prom made a new one)
At first he was just fixing up the town: weeding, changing the flag, adding public works projects…
Then he became obsessed. He made paths, gardens, clothing, umbrellas… This man donated every single missing bug, painting, sculpture, and fossil to the museum
He continually said “I’m merely returning the town to decency”
Yeah no
Boi upgraded his house, furnished it and turned it into a legit house with a kitchen, living room, couple of bedrooms, a flippin’ bathroom, he even turned the basement into a rumpus room
Needless to say, he got the highest HHA score out of all the bros
You know those really nice, aesthetically pleasing AC towns you see on tumblr? Yeah, his is one of them. That’s right, it’s his town now. Even Noct’s crown can’t deny who really cares for the place
Sneakily moves out villagers and brings in the food related ones (Prom cries every time)
Outside of decorating and mayor-ing and creating cool af clothes, the man doesn’t do too much
He only ever really talked to the animals to get PWPs and change his nickname to Ignis
His overarching goal is to get every single achievement badge (help the poor bb)
Gladiolus
??????
???????
He has no idea what he’s doing
His thumbs are a bit too big to rest comfortably on the buttons, so he always presses the wrong ones and picks up Ignis’ flowers and paths (Ignis is never happy)
His character clumsily runs around town, destroying Ignis’ flowers and wearing down the grass
Never really pays attention to much in game, is just confused most of the time
Didn’t even pay the down payment until Prom said something
“Haven’t you paid Nook yet?”
“Done what to who?”
Once he finally gets the hang of things, he furnishes his house and turns it into a massive gym
Is lowkey a dick to most of the villagers, he always hits them with nets and tells them the most negative things he can (which isn’t much considering it’s animal crossing)
Whenever Iris is around, he likes to let her play on his file; she always fills his house with lovely furniture and teddy bears then dresses his character up as a girl, just to bug him
Sometimes he keeps it like that
Honestly he plays the game the least, he never sees the overarching point of it but says it’s sometimes relaxing (yea pal that’s the point)
Makes his character look as tough and badass as possible
Sometimes, when the other bros pull a prank or a being lil shits, he plays their characters and changes their outfits into the dumbest things ever or moves things around in their houses (he also steals Noct’s fish and puts them in storage)

The Story of Salazar Ratkin
Hey guys, my first ever Dungeons and Dragons character has reached retirement, so I figured I’d do a big write up of his story. A lot has obviously been cut out, to save time.
Salazar Ratkin was a scruffy druid who lived in the sewers for many years after his home town was wiped out by war and disease. He wielded his father’s thigh-bone as a magical staff, and learned to survive by eating rats and other small creatures. He could speak with plants and animals, but found that rats always had the most interesting tales to tell.
While on a routine visit to the surface world, Ratkin encountered a party of travellers who had been hired as caravan guards. Among them was Beorn, son of Beorn, a tough barbarian who would in time become Ratkin’s greatest friend and business partner. Although not one for socialising, Ratkin craved to see more of the world, and his magical abilities were an asset, so he was invited to join the party in their travels.
They uncovered hints that a great evil known as the Devourer was consuming the souls of the dead – and had set its sights on consuming the Gods themselves. But this story is not really about that party and their quest to save the world. Ratkin would go with them on many adventures, but his heart was always in a different place – he was on a search for meaning, and to find his place in the world.
Having been completely isolated from the outside world for so long, Ratkin was very distrusting and often racist towards anyone who wasn’t a human – sometimes even wasting critical time in battle to mock elves and halflings. He gradually became more accepting of others during his travels, but he continued to see every slight against him as part of some greater conspiracy, so occasionally fell back into his old ways.
In terms of fighting ability, Ratkin’s signature move was summoning giant bear-like rats to fight alongside him – which could easily overwhelm or corner enemies. He was also a talented healer, and a collector of powerful poisons and body parts. He considered himself a doctor and scientist, but many others would look at him an see a depraved lunatic. In the end his greatest talent was simply staying alive – he seems to have been born with naturally high stamina and good health, and could use many utility spells to escape from dangerous situations (such as climbing on walls like a spider, or transforming into an eagle).
After watching his stoutly religious ally, Justice Whamfore, die a worthless death in battle, Ratkin began to doubt the motives and eventually the existence of the Gods that many worshipped. There are so many types of powerful magic in the world, he figured, and yet the Gods could only communicate by… sending cryptic messages, granting good luck, or by changing the weather? If this was the extent of their power, they were not worth any praise, and could even be explained away entirely as the hallucinations of madmen and users of strange mushrooms, or just plain old chance happenings.
Ratkin became obsessed with the idea that the All-Faith, the world government, were using stories about non-existent Gods to control the population, and leading many believers wrongly to their deaths. He began to discuss his ideas with people like himself – the dirty lowlife of city slums. Many of them were instantly receptive of his teachings, as they saw hope for the first time in their lives, and they began to repeat them to others. Ratkin’s teachings however had no effect on men of higher social standing – they almost always proved to be resistant to conversion, and remained faithful to their delusions. Ratkin became wary of the upper classes, as they would certainly not support what he was doing. And so the cult of atheism began to slowly spread among the lowest classes of major cities, who began to live underground in an attempt to avoid attention. The members of the cult communicated through rats – by attaching messages to them, or by speaking directly to them.
Ratkin’s followers were not intelligent people. Attempts to integrate them with the party and put them to work had always backfired. They brought weapons to meetings and tried to indiscriminately shank anyone who did not bow down to Ratkin. In battle, they only focused on defending Ratkin, and often died swiftly. The only tasks they were exceptionally good at were simple suicide missions – such as burning down a building to destroy evidence. Ratkin began to have doubts about where his cult was heading, and if its members were even capable of functioning in any constructive way. However, a man named Lule had distinguished himself as the cult’s most talented manager. He seemed to take initiative and plan ahead, unlike the others. He had orchestrated the murder of a royal guard who came to investigate the cult. News of this event greatly troubled Ratkin, as it meant that the All-Faith were becoming aware of his activities, and he had just given them another reason to come after him. Ratkin used his magic to meld the guard’s body into a large stone in the sewers, hoping that it would never be found. Ratkin made a pact with Lule, giving him some of his magic powers, and creating a warlock. This was very illegal.
Lule was promoted and taken on a dungeon-crawl with the party to test his skills. He drew a short straw and was ordered to touch a cursed mirror, which promptly sucked out his soul and reduced him to an empty shell of a human. Upon completing the dungeon and slaying the boss, the party found an obsidian heart, full of many souls, including Lule’s. This was a phylactery that was being used to create a lich, so the obvious reaction should have been to destroy it immediately. For the first time, Ratkin began to feel responsible for his followers, and guilt-tripped the party into keeping the obsidian heart. With the help of Dennick, a powerful necromancer (who also happened to be the mayor of the city), Ratkin performed a resurrection spell to bring Lule’s soul back into his body. Resurrections were assumed to be impossible (on account of the Devourer eating souls), and attempting them was also very illegal. Lule immediately returned to the cult to spread word of his master’s divine deed.
Some months later, upon returning to the cult’s headquarters, Ratkin discovered that Lule had been hard at work, creating a race of rat-men. Ratkin’s followers had come to see him as a new god, capable of miraculous deeds. The cult’s membership was now several hundred strong, and Dennick had become aware of its existence. Dennick, being a friend of Ratkin’s (and also being culpable in some illegal activities), gave him two days to deal with this problem, before a crackdown would commence. Things had grown out of timid Ratkin’s control, and he was pushed forward by the zealousness of his followers. Ratkin only wished for the survival of his new family, and so ordered them to migrate to the slums of every town and city on the map. Many would not survive the journey, but those who did would continue to spread his teachings in the filthy depths.
Shortly afterwards, Ratkin recieved a letter urging him to meet with the All-Faith, to settle this matter once and for all. Ratkin sensed a trap, and set up fortifications in a nearby ruined monastery. He was accompanied by Lule, Beorn, and a selection of the finest warriors from the cult. They ate a mighty feast to boost their morale, and prepared natural traps – fog, vines, and living trees that would smash intruders. Ratkin had become a dungeon boss, and sent a counter-offer and invitation to the All-Faith.
The All-Faith had sent their most fanatical faction, the Purifiers, who’s mission it was to destroy heretics. They offered Ratkin a chance to surrender and be magically imprisoned for 1,000 years, in exchange for the lives of his followers. Ratkin strongly considered this offer, as several of his followers began to surrender. Chances of victory in battle were slim – but Ratkin had felt an untapped power building up inside of him, and this would be his only chance to use it. As the Purifiers rushed into the monastery, Ratkin ordered his followers to pray for him, while he began to mutilate himself – casting necrotic spells, and throwing himself onto the swords of the enemy soldiers. An angel appeared – a twisted abomination with many sets of limbs – and attempted to intervene. But it was too late, the ritual had succeeded, and Ratkin took on a new celestial form – half rat, half man, with wings and huge claws, and much larger than before. Ratkin and Beorn wrestled with the angel, while the cultists, living trees, and Purifiers duked it out and played support roles. It was an evenly matched battle, but Ratkin destroyed the angel with his last ounce of strength – ripping it apart with his claws while rats crawled out from his open wounds. The greatest symbol of the All-Faith had been defeated by sewer vermin.
The leader of the Purifiers made one final call for divine intervention, but no one came. Ratkin gave his final orders – that his followers should look after each other and believe in themselves. He then faded away and ascended to the celestial plane, to join the other Gods.
THE END

Random Arrow thoughts
Ok, I'm freaking out a little bit... Someone, pinch me... IS THIS REAL?! This episode of Arrow came straight out of fanfiction. It is too good to be true... yet it is... true... I am overwhelmed and befuddled and feel like a lost puppy right now. Because in this season (especially in 6x03 and6x04), Arrow is apparently, granting wishes and many fantasies of mine have become canon.  No one has ever preparedme for this, this is why I'm freaking out, cuz what's next?!...
I know that the other shoe is gonna drop soon enough, and this bliss cannot last forever, that's just the way TVland works, and also, it's Arrow, our heroes can never be absolutely happy for too long, there has to be conflict to further the story along. And the formula is simple - the happier it is in the beginning, the worse it's gonna be later (before it gets better again). So I do know I have to prepare myself for the shit that's about to hit Olicity in a few episodes, probably after the crossover.
Anyhow, going back to 6x04, here are some of my thoughts during this episode..
- It should have been named "Let's get it on..." instead, LOL. How many times did they try to have desert and were interrupted?! Blue balls won't look good on Oliver, Arrow, have mercy!
- The episode opened with a "date", or more like a hookup, BS style. I gotta say, I liked the wig. Blonde Laurel looks like a bitch, brunette Laurel looks wickedly nefarious. I liked that, but why did she need a wig at all, this puzzled me? Or does she think, she looks more attractive to men with dark hair?! What was the purpose of that wig? Not to be recognized?! Well, then she kills people left and right with blond hair, so that's not it, right?!... Oh, I get it... KC wore the wig for the element of surprise, so the fanboys would guess her by her back and pee their pants happy that their beloved BS is back (or should I say, KC is back, cuz their fascination with her, that I will never understand, has become like a cult following). Anyways, this is done for one purpose alone. BS always likes to make a scene with her entrance (yes, she's a bit of an attention whore, didn't you know?!), this time they figured a wig will do the job for her as a "surprise" element. Whatever...
Arrow is already being redundant with BS, considering she's not even close to being the main villain, has no agency of her own and is just another mercenary for hire. As the guys from Slander Ent. pointed out, she's a glorified lackey. Arrow hyped KC's return to Arrow as a villain, so much, but the pay off doesn't match the hype so far. BS's storyline resembles that of LL already. Either give her some interesting storyline, or get rid of her like you did with Laurel. I liked BS at first, but the more I watch her (and as often as I watch her), the more she starts to suck, because there's no moving forward with her story, she becomes a stale character, just like LL had become, before they had to kill her off. Though, in this episode she didn't suck that much, and her fighting improved (though it was Katie's double who gets the credit, the fight scenes were so darkened out, so you cannot tell the double and the actual actor apart, but it was still too obvious Arrow, you cannot fool me). I feel like I have to make my peace with BS the way she is and not expect her to progress. She's here as an eye candy for the fanboys, a consolation prize anyways. But as she still is a  small part of Arrow's overall story, I would expect the show to have learnt their mistakes with Laurel (and KC) from the first time around, and not repeat them with BS.
- Oliver and Felicity's date... I think now I know why Felicity calls BS "evil Laurel", because of her timing.  Girl, couldn't you murder that poor sap some other time? William picked out the tie and wanted to go to dinner with Felicity, too... Awww, that's so adorable. And yep, the  mini-Oliver totally has a crush on his father's girl. I love the relationship Arrow is building between the three  of them! Oliver remembering that it's been three years since they had their first date... Squeee!!! "Don't jinx it!" LOL.
You know, I like that Oliver is still a bit nervous on their date. It's a good kind of nervous. He talks about not  having been ready for their relationship then, not like he is now. This tells me that he knows, and knew back then  too, that this is it, Felicity is "it" - the love of his life. So yeah, he is nervous in a "anticipating something  wonderful in your life"-kind of way. Plus, that gorgeous woman is in front of him being all adorable and super  sexy. But the status of their relationship is still unconfirmed. He looks at her for answer when the lady asks if  they are back together. And Felicity got "the hint", called herself the mayor's girlfriend. It's for us to hear and  for the Olicity haters. They are back together, so stop asking the stupid question, m'kay?! Get over it! There's also calmness to Oliver that I love. He's matured, more grounded. I cannot believe how much he's grown as a  person. Adrian Chase was one heck of a therapist, LOL.
That nice lady was us, for sure. While she was fangirling over Olicity, I thought it would be funny if the news  came out that Mayor Handsome and Miss Felicity Smoak are back together, with a poll attached to it, vote yes or no.  LOL Star City ships Olicity. Also, why isn't there a man patting Oliver's shoulder and whispering "Good job on  getting your girl back, son!"?!
- Oliver understanding how it was for Felicity when he had to bail on her and was "dangling maybies"... Now you  know Oliver. It sucked! And I think he felt kind of alone and bored and useless, while his woman was neck deep in  Arrow business and he just had to let her go, do her stuff. I think that is what got to Oliver the most - not being  able to be a part of the thing that brought them together in the first place. That's how they met, how they've  gotten closer and fell in love - because of Arrow business. And Oliver not only renounced that part of himself, he  also renounced the part that allowed them to connect and was the major part of their relationship, it's basis. In  S4 we saw how Felicity was struggling to live a "normal" life without Arrow business. She missed that part of her  life, that's why they returned to Star City and stayed. Now it's Oliver's turn to be sidelined. He liked living in  Ivy Town (on the surface), but after last year's crossover, Oliver realized that his life could be happy without  being the Green Arrow, but it will never be full. This season he had to give up the hood again. Except now it's not  because he wanted to, it was a sacrifice for the sake of his son. 6x04 showed how much Oliver actually misses being  the GA, the action and being usefull, already!
Now, putting a mask on and chasing Felicity in the club, or helping Slade-cockblocker-Wilson... how is it different  than being an active member of the team?! I don't get the logic of this. If you're out, you're out, Oliver. No  exceptions. He could as well get killed on the mission with Slade, then little William will be the one saying "told  you so!". Agrhhh...
- Those kisses... I love those smooches. Felicity, please kiss Oliver more like that! It's super adorable!
- I don't trust Alena. At all. Even after she was shot and was all cozy and friendly with Felicity, I still don't  trust the girl. Look, she is responsible for an Argus agent being horribly murdered. And her reaction to that death  was telling not nice things about the kind of person she is... Plus, she represents Felicity's past life, a rather  dark past. I don't want a constant reminder of that on the show, in small doses Alena is ok, but not as a permanent  fixture. Plus, this whole "breaking internet" thing was a set up by Cayden James, so it's obvious that either he  gave Alena that shiner and told her to get Felicity involved, or he knew that if Alena smells trouble, she'd go to  Felicity for help. And either way, she's a pawn in his game. I feel like if Alena isn't working for Cayden, and she  actually is clean, she's still a redundant character, because she doesn't bring to the show any new skill or  ability that isn't already an atribute of another character. So why keep her then?! "I thought you wanted to change the world, and look where you ended up..." I loved this burn! Why did Felicity  apologize for telling the truth?! Also, this line reminded me of when paralyzed Felicity was hallucinating Goth  Felicity. Goth Felicity said the exact same thing to her "you wanted to change the world, look where it got you..."  This Alena character reminds me of that Goth Felicity, but not in a good way. I really hope she won't drag Felicity  back to old hacktivist habits.
- Why doesn't KC wear her hair up in a ponytail more?! It actually looked nice, certainly nicer than her usual hair  down over one shoulder. She calls herself "Dinah", so why does the team insist on calling her "evil Laurel"?! Call  her evil Dinah then, she's here as a counterpart of the new BC anyhow, not of dead Laurel. This show has too many  Dinahs with same abilities, it's ridiculous, Arrow!
- Felicity spent more than half of the episode in that gorgeous red dress. She looked so out of place in it in that  club, and I loved it. It was very funny.
- Felicity should have asked for a backup while going to the club. Or at least telling her team where she's at. It  was irresponsible. And later at Helix, almost got herself and Alena killed. Granted, she couldn't have known that  it would be so dangerous, but still, she's going after someone who plans on killing hundreds of millions of ppl,  gotta think smarter, girl. I get why she would feel guilty. Not only she let out Cayden James, but after Havenrock,  if CJ manages to kill so many people, she would feel that it's on her, too.
- I loved Oliver's pep talk. Last episode it was with Diggle, now with Felicity. They both helped Oliver to become  the GA. And all that effort is now for nothing, eh Oliver?! Where the hell did Felicity get the idea that Oliver  was doing it all by himself?! He never did, well... he tried, but he never succeeded. He was killing ppl, until you  and John set him straight (and Tommy's death, too), he was a crappy brother most of the time, super crappy CEO,  failed as a boyfriend and a fiance, etc... So let's not pretend that Oliver wasn't a screw up just cuz he got his  act together this season, okay Arrow?!
- Helix Dynamics... Nope, not liking it. I got an immediate recall of Fringe's Massive Dynamics,tbh. Plus the name  Helix is rooted in Felicity's old life. Also, the name sounds rather ominous, like Kord Industries, where they make  all kinds of dangerous stuff that bad guys later steal. I hope Felicity will rename the company, it doesn't roll  off the tongue right.
- Michael freaking Emerson is amazing!!! I certainly got an evil Finch vibe from Cayden James. God, he's a cold  motherfucker. I do not believe that he "changed" because of Argus keeping him locked in a shipping container. Argus  locked him up for a reason, I wanna know what that reason is. He must have done something very very bad to earn  such treatment. Lyla isn't Amanda Waller. I would love for papa Smoak to come back and have a hack off paired with  Felicity vs CJ. It would be awesome. Also, I had an idea that Felicity will probably go to jail for hacking the  vault's firewall (and probably, other crimes too), and Noah might take the fall and go to jail instead of her. It's  the only way I see to redeem an absentee father like Noah.
Or Felicity will have to hide and lead a reclusive life until she figures out a way to clear her name with the FBI.  Or she's gonna be recruited by the FBI. Either way, it would be interesting storyline and I wonder how it will  affect her relationship with Oliver. I have a feeling Arrow might do something similar to what Smallville did with  Chloe's character - her leaving the team and just disappearing. Felicity might be forced to do the same. And it  won't be Arrow breaking Olicity up, just separating them for a while. Cuz it's Arrow and they can't let Olicity be  happy on the background all the time...
If we are correct, then Olicity is gonna get married in the LOT crossover episode. If so, then won't marital  privilege kick in then?! Oliver cannot testify against his wife, nor she against him...
- I really hate it when a side character is pointing out an obvious thing that all the fans have figured out long  ago, yet the main character haven't got a clue about... I'm talking about Alena pointing out that Felicity should  use her chip as an idea for helping people and get her company started. We've been cultivating this idea for 1.5  years, come on, Felicity...
- WTF is Arclight?! Damien's dome was called an Arc, right?! Maybe CJ was working for DD back then when the Arc was  being built, and that's why Argus locked him up?! "Arclight" does sound like a cult thing, LOL. And Darkh's zombie  population did look like cult followers...
- Loved all the grunting while Oliver dropped on the couch with hands full of Felicity!!! And the ass grabbing, and  her hand sliding to his front... This new time slot is paying off bit by bit. Slade cockblocking them was not cool,  Arrow!
- Did anyone else have a thought that Diggle's drugs might be provided by Cayden as well? He set up a trap for  Felicity in today's episode, Diggle will probably become addicted to that drug, and will be off the team as well.  Could be, Cayden will be picking all the team members one by one?
- The only thing, missing from this episode, was the repeat of the glorious line "It feels really good having you  inside me...". It was such a right episode with a perfectly set up circumstances to bring that line back. Arrow,  how could you miss this opportunity to remind us of such perfect comedic Olicity moment?
- Loved Oliver on the comms. He looked absolutely out of place behind Felicity's computers, but that was the point,  and I loved it. The learning curve and the funny Oliver, loved every second of that scene.
This was a very good, solid episode. The reversal worked perfectly. One of my favorites of all Arrow episodes!!  This season is gonna be so AWESOME!!!
