“I couldn’t possibly do that. I would miss my housefolk too much, and they would miss me.”

A Night's End: Fresh Hope (pt. 4)

Nightfly Origin

First

Previous

=======================

The three cats walked slowly, their energy drained with every step as much as their hope had been seeped out of their hearts with every kittypet or alleyway loner they spoke to, all giving the same answer.

No one had seen Meadowtree or Feathergaze, or any Clan cat besides them, for that matter.

Nightdrift glanced ahead at Twistedshine, who’s muzzle was locked and eyes were narrowed in determination. Determined to find her sister, or determined to still believe that she would, he couldn’t tell. 

A sigh brought his attention to Bramblefin, walking beside him. He leaned over and whispered in the brown tabby’s ear. “Were you two close?” he asked.

Bramblefin looked at Nightdrift, then at his own paws, caked with the dust that littered the strange pathways that lined the Twolegplace. “Been friends since we were young,” he answered.

“Mates?” 

Bramblefin shook his head, and Nightdrift could see that it pained him. “No,” he responded through what sounded like a lump in his throat. “I mean…I caught feelings, but…”

“She never did?” Nightdrift guessed sympathetically.

“I don’t know. I didn’t have the courage to ask before, and now…I’ll never know what her answer would have been.” His lips trembled, and the dark cloud over his eyes watered with fresh emotion. Nightdrift stepped closer, hoping to press against him and soothe as much pain as he could, but before his paw could touch the dusty ground, Twistedshine whirled around, bristling.

“Don’t say that” she hissed, saliva swinging from her snapping teeth. “We WILL find her, safe and sound, and you WILL have your answer!” Before either tom could respond, she whipped back around and continued on, tail lashing.

Nightdrift lowered his voice to a whisper, and spoke again into Bramblefin’s ear. “Has she been doing okay? Other than now?” He wanted to know if Twistedshine felt better when she was surrounded by other loved ones, her kits, her friends, or if the distraction of everyday life was enough to quiet the beast that grief brought. If it was different from now, when Feathergaze–and Meadowtree-was the front and centre of all their thoughts. He wasn’t sure why. Pity, probably.

Bramblefin shrugged. “I think she just hides it well,” he murmured back. “Feathergaze is more than a sister to her. She was–is–her best friend, and in a way, her daughter.”

“I heard.” Nightdrift wondered what it would be like to raise your younger sibling as your own kit. He guessed that Twistedshine didn’t have much of a choice. He didn’t know what kind of parents they had or how bad they were, he only knew that Twistedshine took it upon herself to take care of her kit-sister so that she would be happier than Twistedshine had been.

His eyes rested on the blind she-cat, who stomped on with a growl. What must it be like to lose the one cat you swore to always keep happy? What must she feel, knowing that the sister she must have sworn to protect is surely dead–or at least, will never be found by the Clans again?

Nightdrift’s chest ached as a storm of ice swept through his lungs and up his throat, where it sat as heavy as a rock. He tried to swallow it, stumbling, but it didn’t budge.  If this was how bad he felt just thinking about these cats’ pain, how could they move on, feeling it, expecting to live and hunt and patrol as if they don’t?

So distressed and distracted by these thoughts, he didn’t realize that Twistedshine had stopped, and bumped into her rear.

“Watch it,” she growled.

“Sorry.” Nightdrift blinked, realizing with a start that Twistedshine had stopped because she was speaking to someone. It was hard to tell in the dark light–night had fully fallen, and the tall Twoleg lights that lined the Thunderpaths were absent in this small row of dens–but he was sure that she was a tortoiseshell cat. He waited for her eyes to flash towards him, but even as she clearly faced him, there wasn’t so much as a glimpse. Did she HAVE eyes?

“As I was saying,” Twistedshine huffed, “have you seen any Clan cats around?”

The elderly kittypet let out a chuckle. For some reason, it made Nightdrift flinch. “Haven’t seen anyone around, hon. Don’t have the equipment for it.”

Equip…what? Must be a kittypet word.

“Blind?” Twistedshine asked.

“That’s right. And if you had to ask, I take it you’s the same.”

“For about four seasons now,” Twistedshine told her. “Cataracts.”

“Ah, rough.”

“Excuse me.” Bramblefin pushed forward. “We’re looking for some cats. Have you–uhm–scented them around? Or know anyone who did? We’re kind of in a hurry.”

The old cat responded to his request for hast with a long, massive yawn that sent an unpleasant odour into the three cats’ faces. They couldn’t help themselves from flinching. “It’s possible I smelt them. It’s even possible I spoke to them.”

Twistedshine straightened. Brmablefin leaned forward, ears perked, and Nightdrift’s eyes widened. “You did?” Twistedshine gasped. “Were they okay?”

“Was a she-cat with them?” Bramblefin put in. “She would have smelt like the two of us.”

“And another would have smelt like me,” Nightdrift added.

“Which way did they go?”

“Did a Twoleg take them?”

“Were they injured?”

“How many did you see–uh hear?”

The old cat smacked her tail against the ground. “Quiet, would you? How many tongues you think I have?”

Nightdrift ducked his head. “Sorry.”

Twistedshine scratched her claws against the tan Thunderpath impatiently. “She’s my sister, so excuse me if I’m in a rush to find her.”

The old cat tilted her head to one side. “Oh, yes, it can be tough losing kin, can it? The pain so hard, like the death of your own heart right inside of you.” Her words were raspy, creaking like a broken branch. “My own little kit found out her son had died not too long ago. A sickness that could have been cured if some cats had just given him care took him away from us. Ah, maybe you know him. Maybe you hated him too, like the cats who killed him.”

What was she going on about? “I’m sorry for your loss,” Nightdrift told her earnestly, albeit with confusion. “Perhaps…you understand why we want to find our Clanmates so much?”

The old cat’s muzzle wrinkled, reminding Nightdrift of a hungry dog. “You don’t care about my loss. Listen to you! I tell you about my dead grandbaby and my poor daughter’s broken heart, and you only want me to stop talking so you can go find your kin. What selfishness!”

Nightdrift ducked his head. Was he being selfish? 

“We could talk to you about it…when we get back?” Bramblefin offered. 

“Ha!” The old cat’s laugh was sharp, slicing through the air as clear as a claw. “Don’t bother. I want nothing to do with you Clan cats if it ain’t sending you on your way.”

“And which way would that be?” Twistenshine’s question was more of a snap. 

The old cat curled her lip in distaste. She nodded across the Thunderpath. “That direction ‘til you find a little stream. Follow it to a bridge. That’s where I sent them.”

Twistedshine had already bounded across the path before she could finish, Bramblefin hard on her paws. 

“Thank you,” Nightdrift told the old she-cat. “This is the most news we’ve gotten since the Flood.”

“Then go, and get away from me before I change my mind!”

Without needing more insistence, Nightdrift raced after his companions, fresh hope lighting his steps.

Arisa

Fa discutere il post di Arisa su Instagram in cui lei nuda dichiara di cercare marito. Certo forse Instagram non è il posto migliore dove cercare una relazione seria, ma quello che mi colpisce è altro.

Da una parte le critiche da parte spesso di donne, dall’altra le critiche di chi la definisce bifobica perché tra le preferenze di possibili candidati mette una postilla in cui dice che cerca uomini cui piaccia l’organo genitale femminile e soprattutto il suo.

Devo dire che quest’ultima critica mi ha lasciato alquanto perplesso.

Detto ciò, le auguro di trovare ciò che cerca.

Dead Dream -- part 1: Enter The Wooden Teeth

Shallowfig came to a halt, flicking his tail to tell his family to do the same. Ahead of them was a dead blackberry bush with leaves as dark as its namesake. It was only that, a bush, yet the gaps in the branches lifted the fur along Shallowfig’s spine. He stared at the dark dapples, and a face stared right back. Whether it was from a trick of the lighting, or his mind playing tricks on him–as it had been ever since Plague tried to kill Hootpetal and Banshee–he couldn’t tell.

“What is this place?” Tendril asked from behind him. Shallowfig just barely avoided jumping.

He  took a breath and a step back, moving his mind to wonder how long they would have to wait, but before he exhaled, Bella-May poked her head out from between the thin branches. “You’re here!” she exclaimed excitedly. “Come in, come in!”

Shallowfig stepped back, motioning for Banshee and the kits to go through the normal rotting bush, and then followed at the tail. He had not visited his older kins’ home before, though they had visited him as a kit, and he was curious to know what so many of his family had made their homes to be, if it reflected something in Shallowfig–some indication of their blood relation, somehow. Did they both enjoy hanging vines?

But before he could look around, he found himself suffocating on fur. Legs squeezed around his neck. He panicked, struggling for a few seconds before Bella-May pulled back, and he realized, almost laughing at himself, that it was only his great-great-grandmother embracing him.

“I heard what happened,” she mewed sorrowfully, licking his ears. “If I had been there, I would have ripped that she-dung’s tail off and stuffed it down her throat.”

Banshee flinched. Shallowfig touched his tail to her side to calm her. 

“I….I have a favour to ask,” Shallowfig began.

“Myrtle  told me,” Bella-May responded as he searched for the right words. “You lot can stay here for as long as you need, darling.”

Shallowfig let his shoulders sag, soothed by her kind voice. He looked over his shoulder, at his kits. Racemekit, Tendrilkit, Poppykit, Mylingkit, and their younger half-siblings, Glasskit and Pagruskit. Cold ice slithered down his spine, gripping his bones and veins and causing his body to shake and heart to fall. He had come so close to losing them. Never again will that happen.

“They need to be trained,” Shallowfig explained. 

“I’m not much of a mentor,” Bella-May replied. Shallowfig understood that, she had been a loner. “But I won’t turn down time with the little kitties.” She blinked warmly at the kits, emitting a soft chuckle when Poppykit squealed when Glasskit bit her tail. 

“They don’t need to train to hunt or the ways of Clan life,” Shallowfig told her. The daily routines of the Clans were foreign to him as well. “They need to know how to protect themselves. They need to know how to….deal with attackers and dangers.” He didn’t want to say it out loud, for the sake of the kits’ and his own ears. He couldn’t say that he wanted his kits to be trained to be killers to keep them from being another victim of Plague, that he was willing to let them grow to be monsters, risking the lives of anyone or everyone they may hurt, so that they couldn’t be.

Thankfully, understanding flashed in Bella-May’s eyes. She smiled widely. Shallowfig tried not to focus on her glinting fangs. “I thought kits didn’t train until six cycles.”

“The four are half a moon from that,” Banshee spoke up, gathering their wrestling kits around her. “The two are two.”

Bella-May tilted her head far to the side. “My question appears to stand.”

“It doesn’t need to be intensive or harsh,” Shallowfig went on. “Preferably, it isn’t, not…at least…not while they’re so young.” He knew that to give them the best chances of survival, training had to push them further than any other cats could bear. Just not yet. They could be kits for a while yet.

“Some pouncing and sneaking lessons should do,” Bella-May thought. “We can make them games.” She swept her tail slowly, enticingly around. Racemekit took the bait and waggled his hips before leaping  for the ginger-tipped tail. Bella-May flicked it out of the way in a flash, grabbing Racemekit with sheathed paws, just before he could land, and pressed him to the ground to make chewing noises against his belly. Racemekit kicked out, squealing and giggling.

Shallowfig allowed himself a few heartbeats to watch and enjoy the moment. Then Pagruskit’s yawn brought him back. They had to rest. “Are you sure it’s not trouble?” he checked. “We could stay somewhere else–”

“Absolutely not,” Bella-May responded firmly. “You ought to stay here where great-ma can keep an eye on you.”

“Is it not too much–”

“Hush,” Bella-May cut him off, blocking his mouth with a paw while Racemekit growled and bit on the other. “Before your droning puts the little ones to sleep.”

“How many know we were coming?” Banshee asked nervously. She had a tendency to anxiety when she was around those she didn’t know. Shallowfig would have stayed with her family, but that was exactly who they were hiding from.

“Everyone,” Bella-May answered cheerfully. “And they’re so excited to meet y’all! Now come along, come along, let us show the nests we made for ya.”

Banshee took the lead once again, the kits following in a ragged line behind her. Shallowfig looked behind him, through the gaps in the bush. He no longer saw the eyes, yet the fear in him remained the same. He was seeing, too far to really see, his old den where his kits were born, where Banshee became his mate, where his mother nearly died. He was seeing himself as a fun-loving kit without a care in the world, and he knew, knew as well as he knew that the fur on his pelt was pale golden, that he was likely taking away that for his own kits. 

He turned his head back and padded after his family. Ahead, Tendrilkit sneezed a high-pitched sound, and Glasskit opened her little jaws in a massive, pink yawn. Shallowfig’s eyes pricked. They were so precious now, so perfect and innocent. Whatever happened in the future, whether or not by Plague’s doing–Dark Stars hope not, sending the kits to train the way that they would be was going to change them forever. Shallowfig could only hope that he was making the right choice, and that it was worth it.

JAMES is a THIRTY-SIX year old VETERINARIAN that’s been in Chicago for TEN YEARS. According to the file, they’re a mutant on LEVEL TWO with the power of FIRE HORSE PHYSIOLOGY.

BACKSTORY:

extremely barebones rn because i just wanna get the update up ! so just the important stuff !

triggers: mention of infidelity, alcoholism

same old song and dance - born to mama st. james after a brief hiatus between herself and dad st. james. was accepted just the same as any bio son !

that said, this time... it did not take long for anyone to realize he was a mutant because the motherfucker was born with hooves, fire, and a mane.

was able to shift the hooves and mane by the time he was grade-school aged, but never the flames on the side of his face. burning. breathing. heaving. fl- flames! (kael that one was for u)

time skippity skip

went to college in new york and met a woman, carina, whom he fell head over heels for. and her the same !

some years pass, he asks her to marry her, she says yes ! they have a great wedding !

some more years pass, she gets a job opportunity in chicago. wanting the best for his wife, thinking it a nice change of pace, and knowing his sister lived there, levi was like ‘oh hell yeah!’

some more years pass, they have their first child, charlotte.

do you love it ?

loves it.

roughly three years later, levi learns that there’s one facet left to his ability when he thought he’d discovered them all: immortality.

(idk how he discovered it yet maybe he should’ve died at some point maybe he met someone who just knew idk)

a history of alcoholism that has not yet been referenced because this is totally barebones ( a prev dead partner too ), he relapsed when he realized that he would not only outlive carina, but outlive his child. 

he would come home late and sloppy. he would miss work. he was probs fired idk! just bad timez all around, worsened when he found out carina had been having an affair. ( but he never got violent, just wanna make that clear :eyebrow_raised_emoji: ) 

when carina officially proposed a divorce, he was not happy about that... but, like... the fuck was he gonna do ? but he didn’t wanna lose his family unit :(

lol turns out charlotte really loved her dad because, unbeknownst to any of the three, she had some little pheromone mutation shit that made them stay together and got levi clean.

but it was broken, again with the help of bones, and carina assumed levi had something to do with it since it did directly what he wanted.

she got sole custody of charlotte, leaving levi with visitation rights... but he has a hunch that, if he were not visibly mutant, it would be split -- yes, he still may have less days, but his only crime would’ve been a history of alcoholism with no violent incidents and a clean slate for a year. nonetheless...

so now he’s fucking around and finding out.

got his job back, started going to AA meetings, started leaving the city when he needed a break as a whole -- the whole nine yards. but it still isn’t enough !

blahblahblah his daughter :eye_emoji:

TIMELINE:

1987: born to a family of mutants. is not the biological son of his father’s, but is treated as such. wants for little ! has a fiery mane and hooves.

1993: has already learned to shift his hooves into regular feet and do away with the mane, but will never be able to do away with the rest of the fire ( consult task for locations ).

2008: levi meets carina– aka, the woman who will wind up becoming his wife. they hit it off, no powers needed.

2011: levi proposes and she says yes ! they have a lovely little wedding !

2012: they relocate to chicago, where january is residing, due to a job opportunity.

2016: they start trying for a child.

2018: they have a daughter: charlotte. 

2021: levi learns he’s immortal which has made things rough in paradise. he’s turned back to drinking, leaving carina to pick up the pieces. she’s begun an affair. carina decides that it’s best for all involved if they get a divorce. the next day, everything was back to the way it had been... ( turns out charlotte had a little spell of her own -- one she wasn’t aware she was casting, but one that kept her dad in the picture )

2022: everything has been going so well ! then bones stepped in like the hero dog he is, did a lil nip nip, and made the spell drop. carina assumed levi had something to do with it since it had reinforced what he wanted and they had no other way to explain it. she wound up getting sole custody of charlotte but, because his only crime was a history of alcoholism with no violent incidents + he’d been sober for a year, he has a suspicion that a factor in why he didn’t get even two days... is because he’s a visible mutant and carina is not.

2022/2023: he’s been trying to get back into the habit of being… a good guy, to say the least. he’s been trying to become healthier with aa meetings, trying to make new friends, and branching out more, all in the hopes that he’ll gain more than just visitation rights.

HEADCANONS:

the kid he got to keep in the divorce ? their great dane, bones. blake had forgiven bones for the bite – dogs are too smart, it’s very canon that bones knew what was going on and had to find a way to alert them both! – but… he was levi’s concern now.

he still looks up to january – and not just because of how powerful she is. that said, her power can make him underestimate himself. between her ability to warp all of reality and his father’s ability to affect the whole world by changing the weather, he’s like “look at this cool party trick!” 

takes in every stray that comes to the vet and stays for over three weeks with no takers. he now has three cats and three dogs. cats: froot loop, frosted flake, mini wheat. dogs: bones ( the og! ), green bean, zucchini. then he also has a bearded dragon and some fishes.

on that note, an exercise junkie -- which is perfect for the big dogs ! they get lots of activity !

hopes to establish a decent rapport with carina again. he knows they’ve begun butting heads now, her angry over the spell she believes he cast, him angry over why she got sole custody... but, once upon a time, they loved each other. and they both love charlotte. he wants visitations to go smoothly, and he wants to be a proper dad to charlotte as opposed to someone uncle-adjacent.

often thinks ‘life is too short to hold grudges’... then remembers he’s immortal, lol.

will head out to the wooded areas beyond chicago when he really needs to escape... and turn into a fire horse...

idk i had other things to say but i forgot them! so i’ll add them later!

CONNECTION IDEAS:

his ex-spouse / co-parent of his daughter !!! filled so description has been deleted because that’s a long one !

besties ! there throughout the relationship through the divorce. 

co-workers ! some more vets or vet techs !

family ! i do believe the st. james family has been established as being fairly large, so… hit kael up first FAHODSUILAJS then me !

new people for him to love ! *eye-roll emoji* <- i just copied and pasted my old connections so this was tailored to lover boy levi, but i’ll keep it.

brainstorming !

[nightly-ruse]

barley giving his sister violet a bath. (Ragdoll cats remind me of them lmao)

Awww yeah they are rag dolls to me. I never finished my barley design but he was a rag doll with tortie markings on his face that looked like oats :)

I think if I drew violet she’d have darker markings that were more purple toned, maybe a streak of cream in the shape of flowers? Idk I haven’t thought about it tooo much
