Part I ❤️‍🩹

Part 2 ❤️‍🩹

=====

2024

Shortly after your home settled down from those unexpected visitors, this doorbell rang once more.

Checking that RING camera again, you realize that Armando returned to the porch this time.

“What, did y'all forget something?” You barely opened the door, almost nervous.

“C'mon…” Aretas tried.

“What?” You don't even understand his point, not yet at least.

“I don't have much time before leaving, but we're doing this together.” Armando grounded reality.

“Say less.” You vowed, rushing to prepare for the battle yourself.

******

Outright monster James McGrath veiled his dark operations by working through one abandoned alligator park located somewhere deep in Florida.

“Armando's with Callie! Trail ‘em.” Mike Lowrey gritted his teeth amid crossfire and set your instructions for the mission.

McGrath just kidnapped Mike's wife Christine and even took Captain Howard's granddaughter Callie hostage. You fumed, raging from within.

___

“We're right here!” Callie lifted both palms for your vantage point just in case.

Yet wounds riddled Armando's body as this tree anchored his weakened presence.

“She…put me down by this tree. I'm okay…” His accented English struggles through pain, rightfully so.

“Kay…” Nodding down toward Armando, you're still protective despite everything.

“Hands up, Detective!” Marshal Judy Howard prompted your attention.

Raising both hands slowly, you turn around as expected.

“Mom, please don't hurt anyone!” Callie reveals tears, noting Aretas and you. “Armando saved my life and the detective looked out for us.”

“Move out of the way, Callie.” Judy continued staying armed.

“Mom, no!” Right when Callie shouted once more, Judy pulled the trigger.

Your body fell backwards as red dampened this tactical gear.

Yet, one lethal bullet pierced directly between your eyes, marking Judy's instant plan.

“Let me up, let up!” Right away, Armando wants Callie to help him stand from the ground, but immediately signals his father. “Mike, Mike!”

Seconds later, Detective Mike Lowrey joined this spot in the wilderness alongside Marcus Burnett as Judy keeps holding that firearm.

“What the fuck?!” Mike and Marcus shouted over this permanent view of your dead body.

“What happened?” Mike glanced toward Judy, both distraught and angered.

“I aimed for Armando but…”Judy revealed the truth about your death. “She wanted to protect him and Callie…”

“Aw, damn!” Genuinely crying, Marcus knelt toward your body this time.

“We can't call it in. Everyone will see Armando first.” Judy sniffled after holstering the firearm.

“What do you suggest?” Mike sought true guidance.

“Go. Leave with Armando before I change my mind.” Judy held her daughter Callie, but Mike understood this point.

Leave before everyone freaks out.

2025

Despite everyone marking calendars regardless, time slowed down.

The Miami Police Department lost joy while Marcus and Mike stopped laughing together.

Even your pictures still greeted desks at the precinct, showing camaraderie and highlighting true friendship.

“Listen to this, man.” Bringing his cell phone, Mike walked toward Marcus one afternoon.

“Hey, Lowrey! It's my day off.” Your laughter chimed this old voicemail. “Are we still planning cookouts for the department? I'll be there, just don't let Marcus eat Skittles. See you later, bye.”

“She'd sit in the corner with a plate now.” Marcus almost chuckled to avoid pain.

Memories could last forever.

Hi. Are you still into Amileia, by chance? Definitely asking for a friend and not my socially-akward nerdy self. Mhmm.

Hi. Are you still into Amileia, by chance? Definitely asking for a friend and not my socially-akward nerdy self. Mhmm.

absolutely yes 100% INTO AMILEIA!!!! let's be besties??

like PLEASE. STAR WARS FANDOM WHY ARE YOU LETTING US DOWN??

leia DESERVES f/f ship.

i claw my eyes out every time i see the SCRAPS of amileia we got in TLJ and what an amazing duo of terror they'd be in the Junior Senate together where they first met as teenagers (clenches fist)

leia is so neglected in sw fanon (and canon) apart from being seen as everyone's Patron Saint of Girlboss.

girl is complex!!! THE MOST LIKE ANAKIN AND VADER out of anyone left in the whole galaxy!! grew up not knowing her birth mother! never got to see Shmi's grave on Tatooine like Luke did! was kidnapped and tortured as a child. had to adapt as an adopted child to members of her own family claiming she wasn't "really" an Organa yet had to lead Alderaan... and then watching it get destroyed before her eyes. carrying the guilt of BILLIONS of lives for the entirety of her own... that torment turning her into a Republic workhorse.

became a SENATOR AND GENERAL. learned she had the force at a late age and had to abandon training because she feared the death of her son, and feared her own Dark Power... never had a relationship with anyone who had her back! Han left.

twin sister to LUKE SKYWALKER (her beloved soul twin! "more myself than i am" territory!) who disappeared for years and years on her. the single exhausted pillar of the New Republic, worn down by endless decades and setbacks. an Atlas-figure who had to do her job just as vehemently as Vader did his, to reverse the terror and damage he unleashed, despite her exhaustion!

a woman who had her voice caught in her throat when she confessed teary-eyed to Luke that she knew her son "was gone" - that she couldn't save Ben like Luke saved their father. she felt like a failure. that she wasn't, as she always believed, as strong or as good or as powerful as her brother. or as deserving.

a fighter who realized just before she died that it wasn't her job to WIN. how hard that is for a fighter to accept.

ugh. leia deserves SO much more. and she deserves someone who truly loves her.

There is a right answer

[outeremissary]

🌙👑❇️ for Balthazar please?

🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

Balthazar would define his greatest wish as being powerful on his own terms, able to do anything he wanted without consequence or being beholden to anyone. Wealthy with political power, maybe, or better: possessing fearsome arcane ability to make people afraid to cross him. Maybe even eternal life, right...? He's willing to go a long way for it: he never in a million years would have gambled his life in some shitty backwater doing some ridiculous, stupid, dangerous adventurer thing without the temptation of that sweet, sweet title at the end. Stupid, risky bullshit to possess or preserve power is him all the way down, no matter how many times it gets him hurt. It always just feels like this is the time the gamble will pay off without loss.

Of course, if you want the secret answer of god... Perhaps, deep down, what he wants more than any of that is the chance at a peaceful, ordinary life he was robbed of by the circumstances of his birth. The chance to just be human and live life without worrying about whether other people see you or some nameless ancestor in your place.

👑 CROWN - what does your oc want to be remembered as? why?

Well, he certainly doesn't want to be remembered as an aasimar. I'd say he wants to be remembered for something he did himself, whether it's good or bad. A legendary ruler or powerful archmage would work. Or the one whose hubris or tyranny instated a new age of horror. Also fine. He doesn't have any truly concrete thoughts on his legacy, but there's definitely appeal to being something truly infamous. He would absolutely love to have the reputation Areelu Vorlesh enjoys.

The why is pretty simple. He just loves to make a scene.

❇️ SPARKLE - what is their most prized possession? what do they value?

Hm, an interesting question, because I think possessions are of surprisingly little value to Balthazar. He's lost almost everything he owns more than once in his life, and that kind of reduced the sentimental value of objects for him. I suppose his most prized possession is be whatever his favorite piece of clothing or jewelry is at the moment- a status that can be rather ephemeral. At the beginning of Kingmaker, it was probably a doublet embellished with golden embroidery that he managed to hang on to over the many, many months of wandering after fleeing Absalom. If he'd traveled any further he probably would have had to sell it as well. It was the most valuable thing he still had. Over time the token given to him by Nyrissa also becomes very valuable to him- he has it on his person practically all the time after her death. Nothing has sentimental value quite like the memory of a worthy rival, right?

(And if something, say, befell Tristian, as has been known to happen, I'd say that without question the most important possession would be Tristian's holy symbol.)

[july-19th-club]

all my merlin writing ideas are like 'elyan does not die at the tower but he is injured and as he recovers he decides he doesn't want to be a knight anymore and because arthur is a good friend beneath it all and not his father he grants him leave to retire and when he's up to it he gets the forge up and running again and all the knights still come to him for swords and he and percival have a handfasting' and shit like that . and the thing is i am so right every time

[7-oh-ta1]

I'm enjoying totk so far!!!! One thing I'll say is that I feel really bad for Link. The world building is cute and exciting here, especially if you've played botw and you're a little invested in the futures of some of the characters. I like seeing the different routes everyone is taking -- Symin quit being Purah's apprentice and is a teacher now, which honestly he must be passionate about since Purah is considered god by most Hyruleans and its like!!! That's an unexpected turn that I couldn't have predicted, very human!!

But the reason I feel bad for Link is that for some reason absolutely none of the NPCs remember him, apart from main quests ones like Impa or Robbie. 🙁 I immediately recognized that this is for new players, but anyone who has played botw knows that Link spent a colossal amount of time with these people while regaining his strength. His own neighbors don't remember him, they don't even remember that HE'S THEIR NEIGHBOR. The only person he has is.... Zelda. And where I'm at (very early bec I'm an explorer) the plot is centered around locating her which is logical, but also sad. Link in totk just simply doesn't have anyone else. He's apparently been isolated from everyone but her, and sometimes Purah and Robbie. Because he has no ties with anyone else, Zelda is his only friend. And she's missing, seemingly not even wanting to come home to him. It's just really, really... sad.

(spoilers for la) Love how 8 people who Jack knew well/cared about died in the game, all in horrible ways, in quick succession and his crush (who he nearly died for several times) publicly condemns him at the end...

But he just seems fine with it all. Another day, another dollar.

[vulcanhello]

anyone trying to argue fanfic is inherently better than the films, books, and other stories they originate from i just KNOW doesn’t actually watch movies or read or engage with anything outside their favorite ao3 tags

[godtiercomplex]

LOL the last post i just reblogged (if it’s on my account fuck tumbl’s been glitching out for me!) just made me realize i Literally Don’t Have to edit my fanfics anymore. i don’t care to. as long as it makes sense and doesn’t have typos it’s free art baby.
