I Need a Vacation Pt. 3: Into the Wolves Den

Tag List: @vechkinfan @dickspaghettii @yor72 @thelostboyswife @panickinanakin1 @slashers-and-witchcraft

Stefan's POV:

It had been a while since we saw Y/N. I was used to her breaking off from the group for "Alone time" but normally she would have texted me by now. I let out a heavy sigh, which Damon rolled his eyes at.

"Don't worry brother, our little pet can't have gone too far."

Elana slapped him in the back of the head for that one.

"Don't the werewolf jokes ever get old for you Damon?" Mathew asked.

Always the one to come to a pretty girl's rescues. Matt just had to be the hero in everything he did. I looked up to the sky to see the moon looking very full. Everyone else eyes followed.

"Right, I forgot we extended the trip, we were supposed to go hoe before the full moon." Caroline said more to herself than anyone else.

"Shit! How did I forget about that?" Tyler cursed himself.

"Because you're a selfish bastard who thinks the world revolves around you." Carline snipped.

Bonnie nodded her head at the statement.

"Yeah, remember that time you were dating Viki and she got turned and killed because you weren't there for her."

"Bonnie!" Jeremy scolded.

"Sorry Matt, I know you miss your sister."

"No, you're right Bon, it's fine. How about I try to call her and see if she picks up?" Matt suggested.

"I've already called her six times." I explained. "Last few text messages are still on delivered."

"Thats not reassuring." Elena said.

"Great now we have to go on a wild wolf chase. I swear to god Tyler, if your sister bites me, I will kill her."

"You won't lay a fucking hand on her Damon, or I'll bite you too. What the fuck is your problem?"

I watched as Tyler got up in Damons's face. We wouldn't get anywhere if these two were fighting.

"Boys!" I spoke.

Tyler finally backed up. Everyone turned to me, I was usually the one to come up with most of our plans.

"Let's split up in teams of two, we can cover more ground that way. Everyone keep your phones on, call the second you find her ok. And be careful, we know her temper is different in her wolf form. She out there alone and probably scared right now."

Nobody seemed to disagree with the plan of action. We all picked a direction to head off in. Jeremey stayed with Bonnie, they could both handle themselves, but neither of them had vampire speed. It wouldn't be as easy for them to cover ground quickly.

"We'll find her Tyler, I promise." Bonnie reassured him.

I stayed where I was by the entrance of the board walk for a moment. Maybe she hadn't turned yet, and I could spot her in the crowed. I listened for the sound of her voice, or the distinct pattern of her heartbeat. But it was no use, she was nowhere to be found.

I looked up, the moon was just starting to brim the sky. It sent shivers down my spine, knowing my best friend was out there right now, feeling one of the most intense pains known to man. I remember when I first turned Damon, for a while he was so mad at me. He thought we were cursed; I grew to think that way too. But the second we found out about werewolves; I knew we weren't the unlucky ones.

They live and die the same way as humans. Yes, they are faster, and stronger, and can heal themselves a little better, but they are still mostly human. They pass it on to their children, who can go their whole live without experiencing the curse. But the second you kill, its all over. You can never go back to the way you were before, because killing changes you. I know it changed me.

Tyler was lucky Klaus picked him to be one of his hybrids. He only had to experience the horror of turning against your will a few times. He's the whole reason his sisters curse got triggered in the first place. She killed someone trying to protect him. He couldn't even convince Klaus to turn her, but I suppose I failed in that field too. I neglected her when my humanity was off, and I'll never forgive myself for that.

I cringed as I thought of her bones breaking over and over again. Tyler explained to Caroline once that the heat was the worst part. Your body feels so hot, it's almost like you're burning alive. We should have been more careful planning this vacation. She wouldn't never forgive herself if she ended up hurting someone here. That's always been my Favorite thing about her. Despite her fierce attitude, she could never bring herself to hurt someone who didn't deserve it. Of course, she's gotten into fight defending Jeremy and Caroline, and even her own Brother. But they weren't the ones who had to calm her down after, assure her that it was worth it, and that she helped.

They're very distinct smell of weed hit my nose. We were in California after all, so it wasn't an odd scent to be smelling. But it was accompanied by the smell of hair spray and motor oil. It's what Y/N smelled like that first day she went off on her own, and she came back wearing that oversized leather jacket. She'd just said a kind stranger gifted it to her because she was cold. She was never a good liar, which was another thing I adored about her. She was so blushy and flustered when she came back that night, so I figured I wouldn't tease her about whatever she had gotten herself into. I was her best friend, shed tell me eventually. But if she told Caroline, everybody would know.

The scent got steadily stronger, as if it was coming right toward me. I turned around to see a man with long blonde, curly hair. He wore a patched jacket and some leather jeans. He looked frantic, like he'd just been running. His eyes locked with mine quickly, and I could see his pupils dilate. I was exactly what he was looking for. I furrowed my bro. Before I could ask what, he wanted, I was dragged into an ally somewhere.

"Who are you?" I asked.

He shook his head. "No time, she needs your help!"

"Who needs my help."

He had begun to pace back and forth nervously. He chewed on the edge of his thumb, hard enough to draw blood. But he didn't seem phased in the slightest. He seemed to have zoned out, the weed probably getting to his brain.

"Hello?"

"You have her same necklace." He pointed to the locket I wore around.

Similar to my day light ring, I never took it off. Now of course I couldn't take my ring off or I would literally burn in the sun, but if I ever lost this, Y/N would actually kill me. I'd only ever lost it once during an argument with Damon, and she was devastated. But the second she figure out who took it, she was livid. I had to stop her from trying to roll Damon up in our living room rug and setting it on fire. She instead settled for hiding behind the bar and using a squirt gun to pray him with vervain water. In hindsight, it was really funny. That was the moment I truly knew she was my person, and I never wanted to live my life without her again. She insanely brave and gallantly stupid and loved with everything she had.

"She said we need her brother." The guy finsihed.

"Slow down." I placed my hands on his Sholders, stopping his pacing.

I half expected him to pull back, or even try to hit me, but he just looked up at me like a lost puppy.

"What is your name?"

"Marko." "Ok Marko, where is she?"

"The cave."

I frowned.

"The cave?"

"Yeah, where we live. We were hanging out and then she got really sick all of a sudden. The others sent me to find someone because I'm the best tracker. I found you, didn't I?"

I couldn't tell he hadn't been a vampire nearly as long as I had. I knew there were different types of vampires int eh world., the witches never made anything simple. He wore a lot of Jewlery, but none of it was Lapis Lazuli, meaning he couldn't go int he sunlight. So that's why Y/N only split from the group in the evenings, we just thought her social battery was running short. I mean spending a whole day with Caroline can do that to a person. Of course, she managed to find the vampires in this town. I took a deep breathe, and the young vampire copied me.

"Yes, and I'm glad you did. What did she tell you?" I asked.

"No time, we have to find her brother."

I nodded, pulling out my phone and sending a message int eh group chat.

"He's on his way over here right now, now can you tell me a bit more?"

"She told us she was a werewolf, but that it was nothing to worry about. Max always told us werewolves were dangerous, so David thought maybe she was trying to hurt us."

"She wouldn't do that." "I know!" he exclaimed. "And that's what I told David. He always tells us to trust our gut, and then he never listens. But anyway, we were hanging out at the edge of the cave, looking out on the town, when she suddenly doubled over in pain. We tried to ask what was wrong, but she was in too much pain. I started panicking and I didn't know what to do. So, they made me leave. I know I had to find you, but I feel bad for leaving her like that."

He seemed to really care about her, so I decided to trust him. it wasn't uncommon for other vampires to set a trap for us to try to get us killed for one reason or another. But this didn't feel like that. He was being sincere.

"You left so you could help her Marko, ok? You did a good job." I assured him. "But when we get there, you and your friend are going to have to leave-" "What no! I'm not leaving her again!"

"She can seriously hurt you."

"But she wouldn't."

"Look Marko, wolves aren't exactly themselves in their wolf form. The first time her brother turned, he almost killed his girlfriend. And he managed to kill someone in our friend group. And it wasn't pretty. Werewolves were designed the sole purpose of killing our kind. Thier blood lust takes over and they will attack without a second thought. And when you get bit, it is a slow and painful death, it could take several days. So, do you really want to risk that?"

His eyes widened, before narrowing at me.

"I don't believe you."

I scoffed.

"Trust me, if she finds out one of you got hurt because of her, she will be besides herself. It's obvious you care about her, which means she cares about you too. I just don't want to see anyone get hurt-"

My sentence was cut off by the others running up to find us.

"Where is she?" Tyler demanded.

Marko's eyes scanned over the group, like he was searching for a threat. Everyone looked a little on edge, being in the presence of a new Vampire. Damon glared at Marko, sizing him up.

"She's up at the cave, we don't have much time."

"Why don't you guys go back to the hotel, Tyler and I will bring her back." "No way!" Caroline protested.

"I agree with Care." Jermey chimed in.

"Guys, we don't have time for this right now. I appreciate you want to help, but the less people in her path, the less people to get hurt."

"She won't attack a human Sef, you know that. And I can try to contain her with my magic." Bonnie said.

"Fine, Bonnie, you can come, but everyone else go back to the hotel." "Don't have to ask me twice." Damon said.

Matt looked up at me despratly.

"Keep your phones on, we'll update the second she's safe."

"How do we get there?" Bonnie asked.

"Hold on tight." Marko said.

He scooped up Tyler into his arms and flew off. That was something I wasn't aware some vampires could do. I starred for a second before remembering how urgent this was. I carefully picked up Bonnie and sped off after his scent. I gently set her down when we approached out destination. I knew it wasn't pleasant traveling by vampire, so I gently rubbed her back to make sure she wouldn't throw up. Tyler was grubbing about Marko getting his hands off of him.

We could hear her screams, which meant she was still mostly human right now. It broke my heart to hear how violent they were. I heard from Caroline that it was awful the first time she'd watched Tyler turn. But the rest of us had never really witnessed it. Y/N was a private person, and we respected that. We rushed in to where she was, laying oner her side, surrounded by three other boys.

The Burnette was calming stroking her hair, trying to sooth her. I was surprised she was letting anyone touch her right now. Once I'd trying to help her through her sever period cramps, and she almost bit my hand off for touching her. And that was before her werewolf gene was triggered. Bonnie scrunched up her face turning into my chest. She hated seeing Y/N like this. The other two boys were standing at her side, the platinum blonde trying to calm the other. The platinum blonde met Marko's eyes and then mine.

"Fix her!" he said harshley.

I was a little taken aback, but it was understandable. They weren't used to werewolves. Vampire were pretty lucky if they could go their wolves' lives without encountering one. She cracked her eyes open at the sound of David's words. She struggled to turn and look at us.

"Stefan?" She said softly.

If we weren't vampire, none of us would have heard it. Then her eyes moved to her brother.

"Ty?"

He quickly knelt down besides her.

"Hey, I'm right here ok. I'm not going anywhere." "Ty, it hurts. I don't want to do this anymore. I can't-" A scream tore through her throat as she threw her head back on the hard floor. They would certainly leave a bruise in the morning.

"I know, I know it hurts ok. But Klaus isn't even in the state right now, there not much I can do. I promise I'll convince him to turn you the second we get home."

"Tyler please-"

My heart ached in that moment, I wasn't used to seeing her so small and timid. Of course, she's cried in front of me before, but this was different, she was raw, vulnerable.

"Help her man!" the blonde with the crazy hair exclaimed.

"We need to get her tied up." Tyler said.

"What? You're not tying her up!" The other blonde commanded.

"It's for everyone's safety. She can't hurt anyone if she's tied up."

I watched as her eyes drifted to the brunette, she nodded her head ever so slightly, reassuring him.

"David, why don't you go with Stefan here and get some ropes. Paul, she's going to need snacks when she's back to normal. So why don't you go get her some comfort things, yeah?"

"But-" "Paulie, she's not going anywhere ok. We're not leaving her. But your job is super important, so you think we can trust you to not get distracted?"

He gave an eager nod.

I nodded my head toward the entrance of the cave, and the other vampire begrudged followed.

Y/N POV:

Everything was burning. Each drop of sweat that fell from my forehead felt like boiling water on my skin. I felt a cool hand press to my forehead, I didn't even realize I closed my eyes. I opened them to see Dwayne's starring down at mine. Even now he looked so beautiful, I could have sworn I was dead. It felt like I was dying at least. I've only had a handful of full moons, you'd expect to get used to the pain, but it seemed to only get worse.

I seethed out a hiss, clenching my jaw. I heard a small jangle for a second, then Dwayne was speaking.

"Here, bite down on this, I'm afraid you might break your teeth."

He brushed a hair out of my eye before placing the belt in my mouth.

"I'm sorry I'm gross right now, you guys weren't meant to see this. I can't- I can't believe I forgot about the full moon. I'm so stupid-"

He cut me off with a kiss, pulling me into him. I must admit, it was a great distraction. But now my body was burning up even more. I growled a little when he pulled away.

"Easy tiger, you're going to make it through this ok. Nobodies leaving you tonight."

"But what if I-" "You won't hurt us; we're not going to let that happen. You're safe her, and there's nowhere else in the world I'd want to be right now."

I couldn't feel tears brimming in my eyes. But the moment was short lived as another surge of pain came. My head was spinning, still slightly dizzy from the kiss. Dwayne pulled me into his strong arms, rocking me back and forth. Marko was keeping his distance, watching from the corner. It's like he was sacred to approach, I guess I couldn't blame him.

They both glanced up when footsteps returned. I heard the distinct jingle of chains. Stefan was the first to speak, David instead preferring to light a cigarette. Stefan threw something to Dwayne, which he caught with ease.

"Wolfs bane, Bonnie apparently always carries this and vervain on her." Stefan answered my question before i had time to speak.

I don't even think I could speak if I tried. My thoughts were all jumbled. Being this close to so many vampires wasn't fucking helping.

"What does it do?" Marko asked.

As Stefan was trying to explain, I snatched the laced water bottle from Dywayne, scotting far away to the other end of the cave. I ripped off the top and downed it. The pain as unimaginable Seering every atom in my body. Why did turning have to take so long when you were a baby wolf?

"What the hell was that?" David asked as I began coughing up some of the solution.

"It's necessary, don't' think I take any joy in seeing her like this."

I suddenly realized my brother was no longer with us. But as if reader my thoughts, Stefan answered my question.

"He's calling Hayley, trying to get to Klaus and beg him to help."

David took a step closer, and I backed up.

"No." My voice barely came out in a whisper. "Stefan."

My best friend was by my side in a matter of seconds.

"You ready?"

I nodded. I hated being tied up; it was humiliating. It made me feel like a literal dog, I mean of course I'm a wolf, but most people don't collar wild animals. It was incredibly dehumanizing. Stupid father and your dumb curse, hope you and uncle mason are rotting in pieces. Stefan was gentle tying me up, and I tried my best not to fight it, as my instincts took over. He was quick to jump back when he was done.

Marko gave me a pitiful look.

"We should get out of here, even with her tied up it's still not safe. She's managed to get out before." Stefan explained.

"We can't" David said firmly.

"I know you guys' care, and I appreciate it-" "No, we actually can't. She won't be back to normal until the sun comes up. But if we go out there, we'll burn to death."

"Right, I forgot about that. Y/N do you trust them?"

"What?" David asked with a scoff.

Stefan just repeated his question, paying no mind to the annoyed vampire.

"With- with my life."

I knew they heard it, no matter how small my voice came out. Stefan nodded, bending down and giving me a kiss on the forehead.

"Get them out." I whimpered in his ear.

He turned his attention to David.

"What if I told you there was a way you could go in the sun?"

"Impossible." David said.

"Yeah, Max would have told us about it, if that was a thing." Marko pipped up.

Dwyne let out a dramatic sigh, looking at me one more time as I curled in on myself.

"I'm choosing to trust you. Don't fuck us over." Dwayne said to Stefan, locking eyes with him.

AN: Ok I promise I'll make a part 4 eventually. But I hope you guys enjoy part three. It was so much fun to write. It warms my heart that so many of you like my writing. Love yall <3

Dead Children’s Playground (Alabama)

Summary: Naruto and friends find themselves in Huntsville, Alabama at Maple Hill Park, also known as Dead Children’s Playground. 

A/N: Hello! This will be a mini series about a different legend or myth that is in every state. The first state on the list is, Alabama. I will be putting different facts about each myth/legend in each story, but it will be a work of fiction considering it has the Naruto group in it. Up next will be Alaska! Also, I have drawn all the picture myself and I know for a fact they aren’t that good lol so please don’t judge too harshly, please. 

Warnings: Swearing... thats probably about it..

"How can people call this the ‘Dead Children’s Playground’? There are literal live families here.” Naruto asked himself as he stared at the Alabama playground, watching little children along with their families playing, relaxing and even having a picnic on a supposed haunted play area. 

“But, why are there a bunch of dead children buried this close to a playground to begin with?!” Naruto countered, not quite grasping the reason.

“They died during the spanish flu, if you look you can see the death date. 1918, the year a bunch of people, including children, died from the pandemic.” Sakura elaborated. “That's why people started calling it the Dead Children’s Playground, the children who died come here to play, to forever live out eternity having fun.”

“But why would parents allow their children to play here?!” Naruto freaked out as Sakura face palmed.

“Because Naruto, it is still a playground. I heard the ghost children only come out when others aren’t here, mostly after dark.” Sasuke’s monotone voice spoke.

“We should totally come back after dark!” Kiba shouted to the rest of the group.

“What a drag, nighttime is for sleeping dumbass, not for going on wild goose chases to see if a myth is true or not. We aren’t myth hunters.” Shikamaru spoke, blowing out a puff of smoke.

“Come on, Shika! Don’t you be a drag and miss out on something possibly happening!” Ino shouted at her best friend.

“Fine.” Was all the response she got before she squealed and wrapped him in a big hug. ‘Get off me woman! I can’t breathe!”

“That’s because you smoke asshat, not because I’m giving you a hug!” 

~~~

Later that night, The group made their way back to Maple Hill Park. Opting to walk instead of driving in case the cars they took scared off any of the potential ghost children. When they finally reached the park, they sat to wait.

“This is boring!” Naruto whined after five minutes.

“Naruto, we haven’t been here that long. Even if this myth is real, I doubt a bunch of ghost children are going to willingly come to a playground occupied by the living.” Shikamaru stated, rolling his eyes, lighting up another cigarette. Suddenly, Akamaru started to frantically bark into the empty night.

“Hey boy! Calm down! Your going to scare the kiddies!” Kiba tried to shush his barking companion. Akamaru suddenly ran off barking and running around the playground like he was chasing something. “Kiddies! Kiddies! Not Kitties!” Kiba shouted when suddenly a gust of wind blew past the group of friends. “What the fuck was that?”

“What are you talking about?” Shikamaru asked, clearly not enjoying his time and just wanting to take a nap.

“There was this WOOSH near me!” Kiba panicked. “It was just like… WOOSH!” He elaborated swinging his arms around to simulate the feeling he had.

“You’re imagining things, Kiba. There was no woo-” Shikamaru was cut off by giggling right by his ear. He jumped out of his seat, dropping his cigarette on the ground. “What the FUCK was that!?” His eyes were wide as he touched his ear, not believing what he heard. The group looked between Kiba, Shikamaru and Akamaru,  still chasing seemingly nothing. That’s when the entire group heard creaking and squeaking. They turned towards the playground to see the swings moving on the swing set. The moon casts just enough light to see small glowing orbs and shadows moving around the entire area, causing the group to stand still as they heard the small voices of children begin to sing.

“Holy shit.” They heard from the quiet Shino behind them. Kiba grabbed Akamaru as he ran by and the group fled the scene. Once they reached the safety of the hotel they were staying at, the group just went to bed. None of them slept through, minds too occupied from what they had just witnessed, replaying the song they sang over and over again, "I had a bird Its name was Enza I opened the window And in flew Enza."

skyrim misadventures, ft Weird Magic Stuff, a determined spite mission, and some spooky encounters

-----

still absolutely love this guy 

[me, the leader of the brotherhood, who just assassinated the fucking emperor a few weeks ago] oh we’re not, huh

sighs i really want to do the thieves guild storyline but i dont want to work with the slimeball scam elixir guy to run a decent dude out of business for no reason... i like brand-shei hes my friend :( 

i might not go through with it on this file, i definitely will with my khajiit though if nothing else 

i know having a khajiit thief character is way obvious lmao but 

nice 

NICE

i forget which quest this was but I FOUND A SKELETON DRAGON????? IVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE

holy SHIT thats so many skeletons

i got SO many skulls in here 

i also found this spooky hand, but couldnt figure out anything to do with it yet, unless its just here for Ominous Mage Experiments Gone Wrong purposes 

anyway all this was on a quest to find the augur, which nobody wanted to talk about and kept going “ohh yeah.... he Used To Be a student.... until..... The Accident” and i was losing my MIND trying to imagine what kind of horrific thing this guy got turned into but then i finally found him and 

:/ hes just a big glowy ball

which, i mean, is cool and all, but i was hoping for like, a dude who turned himself inside out or became some eldritch horror or something 

through all these winterhold quests i started finally getting half decent at magic (not like, Good, but acceptably ok) and decided to finally go back for that one disastrous cidnha mine quest ive been avoiding 

you get thrown in the markarth prison mines with nothing and gotta find a way to escape, which can be accomplished without too much trouble if you band together with your fellow inmates, however, they are fucking forsworn and will start murdering everyone near them once they escape with you

 i dont know if that keeps you stuck with a bounty in markarth or not, but i REALLY didnt want to release the forsworn leader out into the world, or be friends with those fuckers, or ruin my reputation, or risk civilian casualties even though theres not really that many people i care particularly about in markarth now that muiri is safe is solitude, so. i had previously just reloaded a save and ignored the quest for ages

because like. i dont think you Can get out on your own and if you try to turn on them and fight once you make your escape its REALLY hard to survive bc they outnumber you and you dont have any armor or anything other than like, shitty prison shivs 

however: the guards cannot take away your magic or your shouts, so

this time i was fucking ready, i have the ability to summon a FRIEND now to fight with me (i dont know what would’ve happened if i had a companion with me during this mess but like. i can Make one), i learned how to make a magic sword so id at least have some kind of halfway decent weapon, and ive got healing magic 

cool dragon powers also help (this was from. later on bc i have my stuff in this shot but)

this was still hard as shit, lucien got defeated pretty early on, and with no magicka potions its really hard to keep healing while fighting but i eventually fucking DID IT, i killed every single forsworn prisoner including madanach, and escaped myself (which granted me a pardon and some kind of special ring i dont care about from the silverbloods) 

i mentioned this misadventure to my dad later and he legitimately didnt know it was even possible to do this lmao i was VERY determined not to help the forsworn ever in any way

those guys ruin my day every five minutes when im out anywhere near their camps even if i try to avoid them like the plague i hate them!! 

i kept the shivs though and later discovered 

you can enchant them

LOOK at this cavern!!!!!!!

also i ran into a fucking headless horseman ??????

i didnt even know he was there until i heard lucien unsheathing his weapon when he saw it behind me and i looked to see what he was concerned about 

i followed him for ages like halfway across the map but eventually i had so many bandits and wolves and also a dragon chasing after me i lost sight of him after a while :’| WILD though

not that im ever going to sell it but i cant help noticing the blade of woe is worth 666 gold, 

cicero’s always mentioning he wants skyforge steel so i bought him a skyforge dagger and enchanted it for him (i think i put silent moons enchantment on it, i forget), finally remembered to give it to him but didnt take back the other dagger i gave him before to see if he’d pick which one he wants to use and here he is using his new one.... baby likes his present im so glad,

granted its probably just like, an automatic npc thing to just use whatever weapon has the best stats but i like to think he likes it

he still says the line all the time he doesn’t have like. special dialogue if you Do give him skyforge steel or anything but still

anyway i also had this mission going for boethiah where i was supposed to. bring her a sacrifice, essentially. which, yeah, ok, obvious bad idea, but im already an assassin, whats the difference at this point right 

my first thought was to go hire a random mercenary at windhelm, since many of the most unpleasant people in skyrim seem to live there, and i figured the chances were pretty good hes racist and insufferable like the others

but we ended up killing a dragon together and god damn it hes actually a nice guy, i like him :’) so we’re friends now after all

however, boethiah still needed a sacrifice, and. there’s this drunk guy in markarth you can hire after you defeat him in a brawl, and. he doesn’t seem to have a lot going on in his life other than shit tons of mead, so. i figured he’d do :’ ) 

holy FUCK

i dont regret carrying out this quest bc like... A) it was really cool and B) -

i eventually got this fuckin SICK armor out of it that ups my stealth while actually being pretty legit defense, and it poisons any enemies that come near me but somehow doesnt poison friendly npcs which is WILD and incredibly convenient for when im getting mobbed but dont want to accidentally murder whatever companion i have with me at the time

i do feel bad about sacrificing cosnach though like. he was little more than a random drunk guy but that doesn’t mean he deserved it, y’know :’ ) i couldn’t find anyone i hated that would also follow me though

also i later discovered on the wiki you can actually marry that guy, and im just like. why, out of all the options you have in skyrim, would you go for “random drunk dude who gets in bar fights” 

i dunno maybe he grows on you if you fight with him for a while but i didnt want to get attached again :’) 

i found wisps??? i think?????? i couldnt figure out any way to interact with them but they glow and bounce around and i LOVE them

woah!!!!!!

i. dont remember what was in there but apparently the wisps really wanted me to find it 

(i do remember getting stuck in this room and couldn’t figure out how to get the door to open though so i just kinda backtracked and left the way i came in, dunno if i missed anything important or if it was just an alternate way out that i couldnt figure out) 

[akadaisical-blog]

This is more effort than it’s worth.

Chasing a body double halfway across the city is not how he’d prefer to be spending his day, but as tiring as it was, he didn’t really want to die, you know? He very much enjoyed living as lazily as possible, not to mention he’d never hear the end of it from the others....

And, well...there’s some people he just can’t leave behind, so slacking is unfortunately not an option.

( it never seems like it’s an option in the first place, must to his chagrin )

Their lives may be different, as well as their histories, their blood, but they are both Akashi Kuniyuki at their core. The dot moves fast as he does, like some sort of sick chase scene from one of those weird ‘cartoons’ that he sees on the TVs in store windows as he goes about his day. The blinking dot is almost seared into his retinas as he darts about the street, avoiding confused bystanders and other scuffles along the way, the unpleasant thought of a slow-acting poison seeping through his veins the longer he waits propelling him forward.

There’s a thin sheen of sweat covering his skin by the time it finally starts to slow down; and he should hope so, considering he’s had a wild goose chase all the way throughout this entire damn place. Around and around they had gone, he’s surprised the other hadn’t darted into one of the newfound areas that he’s only managed to hear about in passing. Through one ward, then two and three, a hand swipes across his forehead and brushes away sweat-soaked strands as he brings up his phone to check to see if his progress has slowed any since the last time he checked.

He’s stopped.

At the edge of Cotes, skirting Golden, the blinking dot sits unmoving, as if taunting him. He doubts someone like himself would think of something truly unpleasant, but despite what he claims, Akashi has seen enough battlefields to know he shouldn’t let his guard down as he pockets the device and breaks into another unrelenting sprint. With luck, knowing himself, that dot won’t be moving for at least a while. And a while is just what he needs.

Man, though...his legs are really gonna hate him for this after this, but what can you do?

The slight burn has reached his lungs by the time he steps foot on the sand. The slight give beneath his feet is a welcome sensation compared to concrete and asphalt, and bright eyes glint in the slight glow on the moon as he slowly makes his way forward. He’s searching, seeking, for the one person he could never mistake for another. The face he sees whenever he passes a storefront, whenever he looks in the mirror in the morning.

Akashi Kuniyuki finds himself sprawled out on the beach, the waves gently lapping at his feet and a tired gaze staring up at the stars. 

From beyond the coast, a slight glow stirs beneath the waves.

“Aaaah...you caught me, huh. Guess that’s that.” 

It’s odd, he’ll admit. Hearing your own voice address you? Yeesh. Still, the other body doesn’t move, closing his eyes as Akashi hones in on the matching sheen of sweat that seems to coat his face ( is it from the running? or is it from the disease that ravages him from the inside out, slowly corroding his brain, robbing him of reasoning? ), and takes a moment to consider his options.

He sits. Right beside the splayed out body double, who’s loose t-shirt seems too cold for the chilly night air that seems to seep through the skin and chill the bones.

There’s silence for a moment, the only sound being the water and the slightest noises of the cityscape. He’s not really a negotiator, to be honest, but at least this guy seems to be agreeable. A hand gently scratches at dark wavy locks, the only action he allows himself before heaving a sigh.

“Man~, when I talked about wanting a vacation, I can’t say this was what I had in mind....”

“...You, too? Hm, seems we both got it hard.”

“You could say that again.” This would almost be relaxing, if one of two Akashi Kuniyukis wasn’t a ticking time bomb that will bring them both down in only a matter of time.

“...Listen, there’s no hard feelings here, yeah? It’s not like I’ve got anything against you, but — “

“ — But you’ve got something you want to protect too, right.”

He wasn’t anticipating being cut off, and it draws his gaze back to the other’s prone form. One hand has pressed against his head, the look in mirrored green eyes...tense. The memories that intermingle with his own tell him what it is, and with an exasperated sigh Akashi returns to staring out over the water.

“You know, they seem like good kids.”

They are good kids. They’re great kids. They’re his kids, and no matter how many times they fling him around and scold him for his laziness, he wouldn’t trade them for anything else in the world. He doesn’t let things get to him usually, but after so long, he’s actually started to miss the childish pouts and complaining that would occur whenever he’d ruffle their hair, or state how he didn’t feel like doing anything.

Hotarumaru, Aizen — they waited so long. Amidst the pushing and shoving and small legs kicking him in the middle of the night, they were content together. And he can see it’s the same with this mirror image. His memories are hazy, blurred at the edges, just like the other’s, but despite the downs there’s the ups as well. No matter how much he’d complain about having to do all the work to support his brother, he still cared about him. Why else would he go through the effort in the first place?

Geez...now he’s getting sentimental. 

His phone feels heavy in his grip, like a weighted stone, or one of the baubles Aizen tends to slip into his pockets before he leaves on a sortie. The night is young, but their time is limited — they both know it. Akashi pretends not to notice as he fiddles with the device for a second, only pausing once a voice pierces the silence.

“I’m not gonna hold a grudge or anything, if that’s what you’re wondering. I’m more than willing to get out of here and relax some more.”

“That so? Glad to hear it. Can’t say I’m really interested in having any bad blood with myself, if that makes sense.”

The brightness of the app splashes across his face and casts shadows, a sight that knits the normal Akashi’s eyes together as he tries to push away the sudden apprehension. It’s fine, he’s not thinking straight. Can’t blame the guy, even if he is him, for being nervous. 

“...Sorry to ask, but....can you do me a favor?”

“Mmm?” The phone halts mid-air, and a thumb hovers over the button as the other sits up straight to stare into his eyes with a sharpness that rivals his own. It doesn’t take long for it to click, for the chipped remnants of a history that isn’t his own to give him a hint. The familiar blond face comes to mind, and slots the answer in place like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle. There’s a heave of the chest, and with a shrug of the shoulders, the tachi clicks his tongue.

“Well...can’t be helped, can’t be helped. Guess if it’s a personal request, there’s nothing to do about it. Right, consider it done...then I’ll luckily get to sleep for a week.”

The silence takes over again, but that’s not to say he doesn’t get an answer. In the last moments before a bright flash of light fills his vision, he catches a glimpse of a small smile. 

Wherever he’s going, the sword can only hope it’s a better place than this.

And then he’s alone, a lone soul with only the moon for company.

Akashi releases the breath he didn’t know he was holding, flopping backwards with his phone landing idly in the sand beside his fingers. How funny, he looks exactly like how the other had when he’d first stepped foot onto the shore. Probably feels just as tired, too.

Really, he came such a long way. So, even if it’s in a place like this, it’s fine. He worked hard, and even if the Saniwa weren’t here to tell him so, he knows he deserves a reward for his efforts.

With one last final thought to a life that wasn’t his, he lets his eyes close.

Just for a while.

What if Charlie never went to oz.

Pairings Charlie  x reader Sam Dean

Word count 2,121

Warnings blood loss cussing kissing  and death fluff 

Summary Charlie doesn't go to oz  and stays with the boys. and you meet Charlie and the boys trying to run away from some being  and  this how all plays out

A/N this is going to be a challenge fic for @impalaimaginingpalaimagin one year challenge of what would happen if Charlie didn't go to oz with Dorothy and hope you like Taylor I apologize for how long it is  and i've never done a challenge fic  so please don't hate me if you want to be tagged just message me love you all ~April

Once Charlie Sam and dean said their goodbyes to Dorothy it was time for Charlie to leave from the crazy day of almost having oz come into our world and getting hit by an evil witch not to mention almost dieing into the mix.

Charlie cars drive off into the road leaving the bunker she notices her light fuel engine light is flashing red.

“Oh crud how fantastic I did see a gas station near the bunker. Charlie says while tapping her fingers on the steering wheel to the beat of her music.

The car's engine makes a turn into this almost deserted looking gas station that looked in a dire need of major remodeling.

“Stupid Charlie why don't ever pay attention to details around you on the road.” Charlie's head steering wheel.

Her thoughts are interrupted by pounding on her window glass. Charlies eyes quickly widen “Sweet middle earth what is that”. her eyes meet with the face of the mysterious glass tapers.

A girl with dark brown eyes porcelain skin that reflected the sun rays had the look of fright in her doe eyes. Her hair was light brown and her clothing had been torn from the top of her plain gray tee displaying a claw mark gash in her abdomen.

“Please you gotta help me its coming! Charlie looks back at the girl and notices a creature  coming directly for them.

“Get in.” she clicks the button on car and steps on her gas  pedal going the bunker was the only rational thing Charlie could think of at the moment.

“What is that! You could almost detected the panic in her voice as she makes eye contact with the mystery girl though the rare view mirror.

“I...I don't know I was just hanging out with a group of friends, camping and I went to the restroom, heard screaming from the tent area and ran away.”

“But it saw me and started chasing after me.” Charlie could see her eyes beginning to tear up.

“Look I know this is crazy but I'm talking you with me I have friends that hunters like me.”

The girl looked puzzled. “Hunter, What is that have to do with what's chasing me?”

“ I hunt creatures, like ghost and demons and other binges.” Charlie said nonchalantly.

“So like ghost busters but real right? .” 

“Umm more like Merlin, the hobbit, meet harry potter and meet in our earth.”

Her faces looks more confused than it did when Charlie said she was a hunter a few minutes ago.

“Okay lets just go with ghost busters thing.”  “Although  it had horrible graphics.

Charlie said under her breath.  

You felt the car jolt you forward. It was coming after you guys still this time hitting the car.

“Please go faster I don't die.” you plead. The red head girl looks up at you and responds.

“ I will make sure nothing happens to you.”  she smiles at you. While the car parks in front of this building you've  never seen before. “Okay on my word you run and bang on the door.

“Run.! you dash your way toward the door with the red head girl following your lead.

Once the door open your eyes met up with a tall man with dashing handsome man with hazel eyes nice semi long hair that you want to  run your fingers through your thoughts were stopped by the sound his voice asking for your name. Y/N L/N you say in a shy tone of voice .  

“Well nice to meet you Y/N I'm  Sam Winchester and this my brother Dean your eyes glanced over to another gorgeous man with green eyes and short hair  looked like a living Michelangelo painting come to life.

The red headed girl spoke up  “I'm Charlie her red hair complimented her green eyes. 

Sam quick lock the door. she said trying to catch her breath. 

With that he locked the door behind him and looked directly at you i'll go proxied you looked down at your gash wound at your stomach you completely forgot about.

Dean looks at you and Charlie “ So Y/N do you know what that creature was that followed You?

“No you reply looking down at your feet. Dean lifts up your chin. “ it's fine we can look at its features from the security camera and go through the books to find out what it is. “

With that being said sam returned with gauze and peroxide.  Sam is Setting the stuff on the table and gesturing you to come sit on the chair.

You raise up what you had left of your shirt, and felt the cooling sting of the proxied hitting your flesh. You winced  a little.

This caught the attention of Sam who said  “Sorry about that.” Looking right at you with those soulful looking eyes.

“It's fine.” you smiled at him while trying your hardest not to move so Sam could tend to your laceration faster.

“Y/N how did you get the wounded,” You swallowed the lump in your throat. “ I was running from a wolf, or man I couldn't tell, it was dark and fell into  some pile of tree branches.” “I got up and ran more.” 

“We are going to help you, I promise.” With that Sam got up and went right to the  shelf  of books in the back  of the room. Charlie was sitting right near you on a laptop typing away.

Dean was nowhere to be seen. That is until the phone next to you rang, Sam walked towards the phone and answered it on speaker. “Dean where are you.”

 Dean paused  and took a breath. “ I'm In the security room looking at this man whose clawing at the door.” growling  “ But you gotta see this he wasn't a man before he was a wolf.”

“Like a shifter. Charlie and Sam say in unison before being smiling at each other.

“Unless this shifter saw someone to change into, he wouldn't be acting like a dog still, and his eyes aren't glowing on the camera.”

Charlie looked  up at you for a second,  stopped typing to took at you. “Wait you said you saw a wolf man looking thing.”

You close your eyes trying to replay the thoughts “Yeah I think so, it was hard to tell, I was running for my life .”  you say sarcastically

Charlie looks at you and replays “ I'm just trying to help a damsel in distress.” while sticking her tongue out at Sam who was laughing at your remark

“It's not a wolf but it's part wolf Charlie said typing some info into her tablet. Sam said “I think I read something so where about different types of wolf beings.”

Dean spoke a “We know it can shift, but it's not a shifter.” Sam looked annoyed and replayed

“Yeah we already know that Dean not helping.”

“Wait Charlie said “Y/N you said you saw it change into a man right. ?”

:Yeah it looked like it.”  Biting you lip. 

She spoke again “Maybe it was changing form and saw you, looking at it and wanted know one to know it killed your friends so coming after you.”

Dean spoke “It also must of tracked you down form the scent  of your blood.”

“It doesn't have the teeth of a werewolf.” Dean replied

“Found it Sam spoke it's a Therian werewolf  the term  "therianthropy" comes from the Greek theríon, meaning "wild animal" or "beast" ; and anthrōpos , meaning "human being". It was used to refer to animal transformation folklore of Europe as early as 1901,therian  werewolf once believed to be a human, with capabilities  to shift into a wolf at will, rather than its brother the werewolf who could only shift into the wolf once every full moon. “

Charlie spoke again “So we have a shifter that can change into its werewolf side at will, how do we get rid of it and save Y/N?.”

“Okay well if its a wolf still we can kill it with silver Sam said. Looking at Charlie

“Right.” she said along with Dean getting up to go get something.

“Son of bitch.” You heard Dean from across the hall walking into the room again he once was in previously.

“We only have three bullets here, the rest are in the trunk.” Dean said handing one each to Charlie and Sam as they loaded the guns.  

“Can't you just go get more from the car.” Charlie spoke up  taking a sip of water.

“I would but she's drying out side right where the therian is at? “

“Guys get this, therian are usually calm folk ,but if there territory is threatened while in wolf form, they can become territorial in its animal form.”

“You and your friends probably were camping out were the therian  lives, and probably just want  its home back.” Sam looked back at you while looking away from the book to talk to you.

“Maybe we can reason with it ,you said its human still Sam .Charlie said while walking to the door.

“Charlie don't go... But it was too late Charlie opened the door the boys ran to go stop her.

Sam advised you stay in the bunker.  You nodded and sat down impatiently waiting for their return.

You heard a noise coming from one of the halls but thought nothing of it. You closed your eyes for a second and open them to a foreign warm feeling on the top your head. 

Opening one eye to get a sneak peek facing  upwards and notice the therians  eyes changing from green to white. A startled you jumps up and smack the therians chin with your head.

 Panicking you through a chair in front of  it,and screamed as it cornes you a space between the a bookshelf, and a sword thats displayed it sitting on a stand in the room .

With that just on cue the boys and charlie run into the bunker. Charlie takes the first shot and hits the therian in the leg. “Really Dean we could have just got more bullets from the trunk but, you wanted to cheek the area outside and see if it was still here.”

Dean hit it's in the stomach.” Well I wanted to make sure it didn't get into the bunker and get Y/N” This  just got the therian  more angry started running towards him.

Sam ran Dean side and fired the bullet but missed  the therians heart just by a second. “Dean I'm starting to agree with Charlie here what are we going to do. “

Charlies eyes scan the room and meet in your direction. She speaks up “Guys what is that sword made out of right up on top of  Y/N head.”

Sam speaks up “Silver or iron I don't really know, we haven't used it before. “

“Lets just hope its silver.”Charlie sprints to your side and while Dean distracts the therian.

Charlie hand goes for the sword while the therian notices her and runs back to the same spot you were in.

This time you hard  Charlie to defend you.” Hey thierian dick pick on one your own size.”Charlie had this sense of authoritarian hero in her voice and stance.

She charged at the therian with all her will and strength, and piercingthe sword though its neck slicing its head off perfectly. Minus the splash zone of blood you endured from the decapitation

Looking up at Charlie and embraced her in a hug “Thank you much Charlie.”your muffled voice and hug went from Charlie to Dean and lastly Sam “Thank you boys and thanks Sam for the shirt.” As you want to give Sam a kiss on the cheek he moved and your lips brushed his for a second. “I'm so sorry. You felt your whole face turning as crimson red as Charlie's for a second.

“˜Don't be.” Sam smiled back at you making you stomach turn at his stare.  

it was in that cute little moment Charlie saw of you having with Sam that she knew she had all the excitement   she need with here boys right here on earth. 

I know so long don't kill me hope you liked it I know this isn't my best but I tried. If you liked it want to be tagged message me reblog and help a girl out and follow  love you all ~April  @megansescape @justlittlekristy @winchesters-princess

ok so honest review of pokemon swsh (spoilers!)

so this isnt as in-depth as i could make it but! here we go

the bad things:

first off, i think we need to stop the whole ‘rival picking the one thats weak to your starter’ trend thats been in the last 2 games. like at least have some initiative and get the one whos stronger... though i suppose it makes a Little sense just because he has a wooloo with him as well, but still... 

and i mean, yeah leon uses the one that isnt picked but also i dont get to battle him throughout the game like i do hop.

and speaking of the champion, the league (elite four but not?) was honestly kinda... :/

like there was no reason to heal my pokemon in between each battle. i stocked up on full restores as i normally do but it was totally useless.

and with the plot, it was like... things were hinted at but for the most part theyre just like “let the adults handle this sweetie go battle some trainers uwu!!” and then at the end of the game it was like “ok actually heres all of the plot and conflict right now”

the plot, enemies, etc just felt very rushed. team yell was very lackluster, and... rose’s whole group or whatever, i cant remember what theyre even called right now. i get that it was supposed to be a plot twist but they had no presence in the story except for with eternatus.

also with rose, it kinda left me confused on what he was doing/why he did it like that. i get for the dynamax pokemon and all... but im still very confused on it all?

on to other things now, the online connectivity is just... abysmal. why dont they let you select from your friends list for trades, invites, etc??? putting in a code and hoping someone else didnt put the same one in so you can trade with another person? really? 

my friends and i have a huge problem with raids, we try to join each others and have to cancel + retry just so it shows up on their system. 

its all so needlessly difficult, and makes it really hard to play with your friends.

one more complaint about raids; the npcs need to have better pokemon/sense of type matchups. npcs you fight against are better than this! but hey, i guess lets have npcs that have pokemon that have no attack moves, using types that are very disadvantaged against the raid boss, and then heal every other turn so that you can have 4 pokemon faint and make that raid boss win against you for the 5th time.

its a lot easier with actual people playing, but also if no one joins you despite you having open invites 6 different times, its nearly impossible!

and not having gts is pain... its so hard to get version exclusive pokemon unless you have friends to help you out! (which luckily i do, but still.)

finally, the lack of postgame.... like there’s that whole mission with hop about swordward and shieldbert. but thats it, you know? aside from the battle tower, which isnt much. there’s no new areas to explore in the postgame and its really disheartening. 

---

the good things:

pokemon camp! ive always wanted for all 6 of my team members to interact... the closest we’ve gotten is hgss (taking a picture with all 6 pokemon) and the games in pokemon amie (where up to 3 pokemon play together)

the AI and interactions are so cute... and how the longer theyre in the party together/happiness levels (?) the more they become friends! i feel like a majority of the effort went into this feature; it shows very strongly. pokemon playing, talking, fighting, racing and sleeping, all of the individual animations needed for that, etc. it has a ton of effort put into it and i really like that. 

making curry is also a lot of fun! ive missed doing things like that (poffins and pokeblocks...) so its a very nice thing. the variety in ingredients and flavor from berries is a nice touch, especially the amount being fed to your lead pokemon (the baby spoonful for cutiefly killed me instantly and i love it so much)

and also people online can join in your camp, i think thats really cool!!

the graphics in general are very pretty. its so smooth compared to sun and moon! obviously they arent top quality but that doesnt really matter, it has a nice look to it. 

the wild area is especially fun! plenty of places to explore, a wide variety of pokemon that change based on the weather, how some of them chase you or run away from you, or are even just a little curious about you. and compared to lgpe, i really appreciate that pokemon only disappear if you move far enough away from them. chasing after things in lgpe only to have them disappear the instant you walk up to them was stressful.... 

and that the other pokemon in the overworld dont disappear after each battle you get into! that makes it nicer when you accidentally trip on the 7th zigzagoon that runs in front of you, that you wont lose whatever it was you were after.

and it might just be me, but im really glad a shiny pokemon wont appear as such on the overworld. lgpe makes it super depressing if you see one and dont get to it in time, you know? 

and raid battles, i know i complain about them a lot but im glad that for the most part, aside from certain 5 stars, you can solo them! much better than pokemon go, which you can solo up to a 2 star raid (3 star as well but every time i try i end up running out of time, the time limit is annoying and dumb.)

---

suggestions:

DIFFICULTY SETTINGS. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME. 

i think bw2 had something like that, but it was only after you beat the game you could do ng+. which like... why? i dont want to delete my progress, i want to control how difficult it is before i start. 

i think a simple easy/medium/hard scale would work. 

more clothing options... all of it is very... modern. if leon can wear a cape, i think i should be able to as well. also why were hair accessories removed? 

but i want to dress like a victorian asshole vampire or something. hoodies and shorts are nice but i want more variety!

a friends list feature for online.. so you can select or invite your friends DIRECTLY for trades, battles or raids. 

and my final suggestion that, i REALLY REALLY hope happens, dlc features.

like, oh hey you can get this pokemon not native to the galar region in raid battles now! 

more wild areas to explore, definitely not as big as our existing one but at least something else! with pokemon outside of the 400 already in the game available.

(they better be free dlc, though...)

and as for paid dlc... Kalos region. its like, right there. just let me cross the sea in the south east. its RIGHT there, a whole other region to explore, please, i am BEGGING you. 

if splatoon can have the octo expansion, then pokemon should have the kalos expansion...
