I have no inspiration 😭😭😭 so here's a copy (and edit) of chapter 2 or A Diary of a sinner. (Btw it's like 11pmish and I can't sleep 😅🤭 this chapter going to be short sorry 😔 could someone please request anything? I'm so bored and I got no ideas!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Chappy 2

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒔 𝒖𝒑:

Nim is Y/N's demon nickname, short for Nightmare Damsel. Also, I'm adding other characters in this story from Vox Machina and the reader is Hisirdoux Casprians twin sister, Douxie is also married to Zoe.

▅▄▃▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅

Gunslinger Percival de Rolo III (human brother)

Cassandra De Rolo (human sister)

Gnome cleric Pike Trickfoot

Barbarian Grog Strongjaw

Gnome bard Scanlan Shorthalt,

Half-elf druid Keyleth

Half-elf rogue Vax'ildan (elf brother)

Half-elf ranger Vex'ahlia (elf sister)

(Ignore the list of the creature the characters are, it's just so I have an idea of who's who because my memory kinda sucks.💀)

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡��*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

Previously on The Diary Of A Sinner:

I sighed silently. Vlad and Vanellope never left my mind. I could never stop thinking of them. They were only 9 and 10 years of age when I died. I wished I could've lived longer.

I suddenly got the feeling of being followed. 'Hmmm. Who's wishing to die now?' I thought. I changed my course and walked down an alley, and then turned around and got in a defensive position with my twin daggers ready.

"I know you followed me. Not quite wise." I spoke menacingly and threatened.

"Ooh, come on Nim, you wouldn't hurt an ol' friend, would ya sweets?" A familiar traditional Brooklyn gangster voice called out.

I twisted my daggers backward, and they disappeared in F/C smoke. I scoffed.

"Don't try me, Dusty." I spoke.

The voice laughed. "Yeah, it might be a good idea."

I chuckled. The voice wrapped his arm around my shoulder as if we were the best of friends.

"Well, I'd love to stay and chat to catch up, but unfortunately, I have to go." I shook my shoulder out of his grip.

"Well, hopefully I'll see you later then? Hmm?" And the voice got a phone call.

I left down to a small looking shop called Gilmores Shop.

"Hey guys," I called to the group gathered around the bar lobby. chatting or doing whatever.

"Nim!" A short male gnome spoke.

"What's up?" Vax asked twisting his knives in his hand.

"Nothing. Just ran into an old friend." I spoke.

"Y/N. What happened? You smell like blood." Percival asked, not believing me.

Right. I forgot that after Dusty chatted with me, I'd gotten into a fight with a couple of demons, won and then got myself cleaned off.

"Nothing to worry about. I'm fine." I said, casually.

"Uh huh." Percy muttered.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed a drink. This was my turf. And I can do whatever I wanted.

"Seriously, I'm fine. Like always. Are you forgetting who I am? Or do I have to remind you?" I threaten sternly.

"No, no, just... Nothing nevermind." Percival spoke.

"That's what I thought." I said.

"So... Nim... When is your brother coming back?" The little elf girl asked.

"Not for another six months. Pike."

I̶ t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶t̶ h̶e̶r̶ n̶a̶m̶e̶ w̶a̶s̶ P̶i̶e̶ o̶r̶ K̶i̶t̶e̶ i̶n̶ t̶h̶e̶ s̶e̶r̶i̶e̶s̶ I̶ d̶i̶d̶n̶'̶t̶ k̶n̶o̶w̶ h̶e̶r̶ n̶a̶m̶e̶ t̶i̶l̶l̶ I̶ l̶o̶o̶k̶e̶d̶ i̶t̶ u̶p̶ 💀

"Oh thats too bad. I had a question for him."

I just shrugged. I had a suspicion that she liked my brother, Hisirdoux. But I'd already told her he was married to Zoe like a hundred times before.

So sorry the chapter is so short, I hit a writers block 😭

So I recently red a very good book called Radio By Your Side [One-Shots] by @Mad_and_Twisted (on wattpad) and I love the one shots so much, the only thing I didn't like was being left on a cliffhanger and that the One Shots wouldn't be a story.

And a reminder? :

So I'd decided to write this book from One-Shots and combine a whole bunch of them to 'make them my own' so that I don't copy from the author cause there's a ᏞϴͲ of authors who don't like it. But I don't really care if ya'll copy off of me, just as long as y'all credit me in the end. ☺

Also, I might not write this story for long, just a heads up. Sorry but when I get writers block for a long periods of time, and then get 'cured' I stop writing whatever it was before I got the major writers block illness. 😭😭😭

Also! I'm now officially grade 12! 🥺😨Exams are done for me but my sister who's in grade 8 still has exams to do... 😥 but I should have more time on my hands to write!

That is... If I get cured of this writers block...

Grade 12 is going to be so hard when I graduate, like I've traveled so much and never stayed at 1 school for long but then when I came here, i was in grade 7, so I wasnt really sad, but then when I got to grade 8 and up to now, it's like, I'm saying goodbye to everyone. I'm not going to be able to see them or even talk to my friends again and if I do, I'll be ᒐᙀᙅКƳ if that happens.

But I still have to say goodbye to all the relationships I've made these past 6 years. And when I move out, like I'm so used to hugging and kissing my mom and dad before leaving the house and before going to bed that after I'm moved out I won't be able to do that. I'd have to get my drivers license, drive from wherever im at to my parents home, hug and kiss them goodnight/goodmorning and then drive back home.

Sorry I just put that all on you guys it was just going through my head at the time.

Thank you and have a good day/afternoon/night stay safe (and if it's bed time for you, good night, sweet dreams!🤗)

Again, so sorry.

Losers Tributes

It is with great saddness that I finally announce the losers of the Sudden Death round. Thank you to everyone who submitted characters, and hopefully this little tribute to those who are fallen but nor forgotten will help to soften the sting. And I hope you stick around as we - finally - begin to get into the bracket-proper!

quick note that I finished making this video three and a half hours ago but apparently this glorified slideshow was too much and took that long to upload

[waltwhitmansbeard]

go on, claim my heart: chapter twenty-one

see my masterpost for what came before this.

Cassandra has not moved since Lady Briarwood gave chase to the bat that escaped into the hall. She has no idea what to make of the chaos; as far as Cassandra is aware, the bat was just a bat, but Lady Briarwood seemed instantly convinced that something more nefarious was afoot, and she learned long ago never to argue with her.

The baby is still crying behind her, but Cassandra does not move to help her. What can she do? The child's misery is perfectly logical. She has been stolen from gods know where by people who wish to kill her in some terrifying arcane ritual. Cassandra would be wailing too, if not for the bone-chilling fear.

The Night of Ascension is two days away, and Cassandra must imagine that the castle is crawling with guards and—she resists a shudder at the thought—a myriad of Lady Briarwood's undead servants. How is she meant to smuggle a screaming baby out of here at a time like this?

(If she were stronger, braver, she could show the child mercy. Better to die swiftly here, now, than in whatever macabre circumstance the Briarwoods have concocted for her. They would punish Cassandra with her life, but it would be worth it, to deny them their grand mission, to spare this infant that most acute horror. But she won't, because she is a scared child herself, and she'd rather take a blade to her own throat than this helpless baby's.)

She jolts when Lady Briarwood reappears in the door to the nursery, her face a mask of fury. A moment later, and she is right there, curling her fingers around Cassandra's throat. "Who was that?" she snarls as Cassandra gasps for air.

"I—don't—a bat?" Cassandra squeaks, clutching at Lady Briarwood's hand. "Just—bat!"

Her sneer hovers inches from Cassandra's face. "That was no mere bat, you fool! That was a mage of some kind! I could smell the magic on them!"

Cassandra whimpers, black dots appearing before her vision. Before she passes out, a familiar voice sounds from behind Lady Briarwood's shoulder. "Delilah, dear, leave her be, lest you want to be the one responsible for the infant's care."

The fingers tighten for a moment before releasing, and Cassandra collapses to the ground, gasping and clutching her throat. Lady Briarwood whirls on her husband. "We are under attack, Sylas. And I cannot believe she does not know anything!"

Lord Briarwood hums, then steps into the room to crouch before Cassandra, who instinctively shrinks in on herself. "Let us find out." His large hand extends toward her, and one finger gently raises her chin so that she meets his gaze. "Tell me, sweet girl..." And she can feel it, that strange, mystical influence, the one that makes her want to please him so very badly. "...did you know your brother yet lives?"

Cassandra's jaw drops at the same moment Lady Briarwood hisses, "What?"

Your brother yet lives. She knows immediately to which brother he refers, having seen the bodies of the other three for herself ages ago, the images of it burned into her mind like a brand. Percy is alive. She tries to remember, tries to conjure an image of what he looked like when they were running terrified for their lives—but it doesn't matter that she can't, because that was so many years ago, and he must look like a stranger now.

Lord Briarwood must be satisfied by the intensity of her shock, because he drops her chin and stands. "She knows nothing, Delilah. She was unaware that the de Rolo child we believed to have died in the Parchwood somehow made it out alive, and in the very company of this squalling child's father, no less."

Lady Briarwood reaches out to grab her husband's arm. "Tell me you are joking, Sylas. Tell me that the Champion of the Raven Queen is not here. Not when he is meant to be dead."

"My love." He reaches out to stroke her check with a few knuckles. "You need not worry. Their little band of heroes cannot impede what we have in motion. We'll increase the guard around the castle, and we'll have these pests eradicated long before our big day."

She sighs and leans into his touch. As monstrous as they are, Cassandra cannot deny their devotion to each other. "If you say so, dear." She turns to glare down at Cassandra. "Do not believe for a moment that they are coming for you. They want that baby, and they'll die before they get her. Make sure you don't give us a reason to dispatch of you, too."

Cassandra nods, and she doesn't breathe again until the two of them have swept out of the room. She waits until the sounds of their footfalls have disappeared to stand, her limbs shaking. She goes to the bassinet and scoops the baby, who seems to have cried herself out, into her arms. "He's coming," she breathes, the first smile she's smiled in ages curling at the corners of her mouth. "Percy is coming for us."

.

Percy creeps through the tree line, one eye on the castle, one eye on the path ahead. Vax has taken to the front of their trio, marking the path for he and Vex to follow on the way back to the others. Vex has been positioned into the middle, neither man willing to let her be snatched away again so easily.

Percy slips out of his coat and drapes it over Vex's shoulders. She startles, her hands coming up to instinctively pull it closer. "What...?"

"You look cold," he says, embarrassed by the heat that comes to his neck and face.

She smiles indulgently at him. "Thank you, Percival."

"Are you in any pain? My water skein is cold, you could press it to the wound."

Her hand reaches back for his. "I'm alright, Percy, truly. You do not need to fuss over me."

"I..." He slows his pace, pulling her a bit farther back from her brother. "I am so sorry for what happened. He never should have been able to put his hands on you."

"It's good to know how quick and strong he is. I'd rather us learn this lesson now as opposed to later."

"I'd rather not learn that lesson by his taking and biting you!" He worries his lip between his teeth. He has to ask, has to know, but the words are getting caught in his throat.

She must sense his hesitation, because she asks, "What is it?"

"What..." He reaches a finger up to briefly brush against the fresh wounds behind her ear. "What did he say to you?"

He watches her eyes carefully, and he watches a dozen different choices being made all at once. He is in agony waiting for the answer; could Briarwood have whispered to her the same words that Oliver heard right before he died?

Finally, Vex comes to a complete stop, tugging him with her. She lifts herself onto her toes to press a kiss to his cheek. "Nothing true," she murmurs, and then she resumes her quiet pursuit of her brother. Percy stands there, dumbfounded for a few moments before scrambling to catch up.

They press on as silently as they can for a few more minutes before Vex murmurs, "You know, there's something I've been meaning to tell you, Percy."

"Oh?" He sees her fingers twisting nervously around her bow.

"Percy, I..."

Before she can find the words, Vax hisses over his shoulder, "We're here!" Percy looks toward him to watch him bolting between the trees toward where the rest of their party is tucked out of sight of the castle. As soon as the three of them are in view, Pike darts forward to wrap her arms around Vex's legs. "You're okay!"

Vex laughs low. "I'm alright, Pike, though I could use a bit of your magic touch."

"Alright, you minx," Pike quips as Vex kneels down to allow Pike to heal her.

Percy keeps pressing on, and he sees Vax sitting on the ground with Keyleth, who has thrown her arms around his neck and is sobbing into his shoulder. He skitters forward to crouch in front of her. "What happened? Were you hurt?"

Vax shakes his head. "She saw Vilya."

Ice splashes down Percy's spine. "Keyleth..."

"They're going to kill her," Keyleth gasps, clutching onto Vax's armor as if it is the only thing tethering her to the earth. "They're going to kill her, and I left her there."

Percy reaches out to squeeze her knee. Something about his touch jolts her, because she rips herself away from Vax to clutch at his hands. "Cassandra!"

His eyes blow wide. "You saw her?"

She nods furiously. "She has been charged with Vilya's care. She's...deeply out of her element, but she seems to be trying her best. From what I heard, the Briarwoods have no desire to harm her, at least not in the immediate future, not like..."

She doesn't need to finish the thought. "We'll get them both out," Percy vows to her, "but first we must get ourselves out of here. Our presence is known, and we're not going to get this solved tonight."

Vax nods and stands, pulling Keyleth with him. "He's right. We need to regroup." He pulls his trembling wife away from the castle, and before Percy moves to follow, he casts a final glance toward his family's home, toward where his sister is waiting for him.

[psychicdamaged]

things spoiled for me in cr1 (by me)

things i knew and have watched already:

tiberius leaves

cassandra is alive

"do not go far from me" and the whole of ep44

eliana was killed by thordak

vax dies, beholden by the raven queen

second half of episode 115, so:

A) perc'hlia

B) vaxleth

C) pike/scanlan endgame

D) who makes it to the very end

vex dies in the tomb of the raven queen

percy dies fighting anna ripley

tiberius dies

scanlan leaves, briefly (went into instant denial and the episode still killed me)

vex destroys thordak's heart gem and vax deals the killing blow

scanlan has a daughter (forgot this actually when she showed up and I was still surprised)

spoilers i know but have not watched:

vax dies and gets sent back- maybe twice

I think vex dies again idk when

scanlan uses his wish to have vax speak at percy and vex's second wedding

vesper de rolo ??? perc'ahlia baby !!

keyleth turns into a goldfish and dies???

keyleth's mom is alive (I'm on the water ashari bit rn and lolol somehow I can see the plot twist coming)

deliah briarwood comes back?? not sure about this but pretty sure

spoilers I know for campaign 2:

molly dies

[nochiquinn]

legend of vox machina episode 7: scanbo OR it’s only comic relief until it stops being funny

I got so excited when I saw the title of this episode

all the reactors I've seen thought stonefell was anders on account of the weird cut/camera focus when percy was talking about them

yes your honor I would die for cassandra de rolo

she does sound moderately like a fable npc

mala: that was an assassination attempt

anders is built like a pear on a barbecue fork

like okay. he's not wrong about the baby de rolos being pampered b u t that's not THEIR fault. kids are never responsible for the situation they were born or brought into, only with what they do with it once they're old enough to develop agency. he's just lashing out at them bc they're easy targets. and papa de rolo is right, it's NOT his job, and if it's not an urgent "everything's gonna blow up if we don't do this" matter he shouldn't have kept pushing. also don't bitch about your students' parents in front of them, let alone directly TO them.

okay I'm done now we can continue

I did NOT see the nails holding keyleth's effigy's antlers in place until mica pointed it out and for the record: I hate it

"I assure you, I'm in control" press x to doubt

his hair is getting a lot fluffier/less coiffed as time goes on (good)

"if you turn that thing on any of us again, I will not hesitate, I will kill you"

imagine knowing what percy's guns can do, even if you don't know what they are, and seeing him use them brutally and mercilessly on two prone, helpless people in two days (never mind what they all knew stonefell was and what he did), and now he's leaking smoke and his eyes are black from corner to corner and he's pointing it at you. and if he'll point it at you, his teammate (you'd like to think friend), who won't he point it at? vex? keyleth? and the only way you know to stop him is to put him down.

there's gonna be a lot of meta/fic in these next few recaps and I refuse to apologize

this means he kept the de rolo crest buttons this whole time

I love how they visualized this. just this whole sequence with the hammers and the barrel clicking

how'd he get a forge tho

scanlan

mala pointed out this is how early scanlan deals with dark shit, is to make a joke out of it, but has no filter on when it's appropriate to say it out loud

pours one out for matthew mccoughnatree

this is a really nice sequence tho

when keyleth's ambition outstrips her control

"who's the sixth barrel for?" props to whoever it was caught percy's shadow

I wasn't sure ale would put out a fire instead of dousing it but it probably has a pretty low alcohol content compared to like vodka

it's like dousing a fire with natty light

vax actively countering vex instead of just sniping at her

"this is bigger than all your personal shite" I mean yes but I would like more of the personal shite

s c a n l a n

like he has one job and that's fucking with everyone but. scanlan.

can archie like. wipe his face. it wasn't bothering me until mala pointed it out.

venkman

"let. me. be. ANNOYING." huge tiktok audio potential

me: oh no is this a musical episode mala: it was threatened

this was INTENSELY unneccesary

CrItIcAl RoLe WaS nEvEr ThIs CrAsS

D&D GUARDS

I'm sorry, they're clearly playing bunions and flagons

blink? I assume?

"how would this ever help?" idk if you needed to get inside a dragon

nut check WITH the gauntlet

I remember the fire breath being much more controlled in the stream, I am probably remembering wrong.

scanlan: literally a thirteen year old

yes. YES. the triceratops is LOOSE.

doors: the only thing to stop a charging triceratops

"who let that sex-crazed gnome do this solo?" "uh...you?" "never listen to me again."

"excellent plan, vox machina" "I mean that is what we're known for" rank lies

"I was dead yesterday, remember? can only improve from here."

tbf the DOOR wasn't trapped. just the everything else.

I just love how bigby's scanlan's hand has been used in the show, much more versatile than I remember it being in the stream

(or it was just so ubiquitious in the stream I stopped appreciating it properly)

you have activated GrogRage™

"oh man, they are fucked now"

mala pointed out vex and keyleth still work together in battle, regardless of their personal squabbles. they can hate each other later when they're still alive.

(also probably helps that keyleth actually has no beef with vex, and is likely absolutely bewildered at the way vex has been treating her lately)

COCK LIGHTNING

no! double-tap! confirm the kill!

"good show, scanlan."

I legitimately loved vax running in ahead to find anders (and percy beating the shit out of him for it later) but this does make more narrative sense

"let her go and we can discuss a future where you're still breathing."

hey show what the fuck

hey show what the Fuck

I wanted to go to bed on time b/c I’m waking up early tomorrow to register for classes, but instead I stayed up almost an hour later than I intended to because I had a Cass fic idea that wouldn’t leave me alone.

Why do I do this to myself?

[coxcombo]

Just as the sun, hidden, wins through and leaves the clouds.

           “You know” Cassandra starts, eyes watchful to the mass slowly approaching, “this isn’t the first time the undead have invaded Whitestone”

             Kaylie turned, “Have you ever considered moving”

Percy?

Headcanon A:  realistic

he invents what’s essentially a nerf gun after a few years of peace. his kids wanted something cooler than wooden swords, let him live

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Viktor is the sort of man Percy would have become if he hadn’t married Vex.... 

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

He has frequent nightmares about what he could have become with Orthax, or just nightmares about that in general. Dreams of bullets that are meant for specific people, dreams of shooting Cassandra after all, of his hands turning into black claws, of dark shadows... It got better once he and Vex settled down in Whitestone, but once his son Freddy was born (you know, the one who shares his name) Percy sometimes gets uneasy dreams about his fate moving onto him. 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

is it canon that the de Rolos have celestial/divine blood? no? whatever, I do enjoy that idea with their Suntree and their connection to the sun

[krshush]

kenzie-no-mc replied to your post “lms if you suddenly started gettin’ real emotional at knowing Shaun...”

You know who else deserves good things? Cassandra de Rolo. Her ending was pretty good but she deserves BETTER!!

Emon, Kingdom of Tal’dorei

My dear friend,

Your letter of the 2nd was happily received only a few days ago -- the courier said something about “the blasted mountains��� while he thought I was out of earshot, but he, or at least the courier system at large, still seems to have made admirable time. A good sign, I think, that things are slowly starting to repair themselves across the continent.

Speaking of which, I’m very glad to hear that rebuilding of your shop is going well, even if it is slowly. Are you having any trouble rebuilding your stocks or finding employees? Refugees are still slowly moving from Whitestone back to their homes, and I would be happy to vet some of them and provide letters of reference, if it would help at all. (I also understand if this is a matter you’d like to undertake by yourself; I recall how much the shop personally means to you.)

Rebuilding here is finally starting to move at a less throttled pace; we never really recovered from the occupation, what with the attacks all over Tal’dorei right on the heels of the liberation. It’s so lovely to be able to walk the streets and see people out and about, and smiling besides. Homes are finally starting to be repaired, and businesses are reopening. Last week, I even saw one of the stalls in the square around the Sun Tree open and operating, selling game from the Parchwood. I can only hope this encourages others. The Chamber of Whitestone is doing its best to encourage those who had moved outside the city walls to return.

It is a strange thing, as well, to walk into a full Chamber of Whitestone -- even Vex’ahlia has apparently developed a voracious appetite for politics? I can’t help but be a little suspicious, but I’ll accept her apparently-benign enthusiasm as long as it gets things done. My brother has started undertaking some grand project to find some way of centrally heating the streets, as well as undergoing repairs to the buildings in town. The idea is that it’ll keep the snow off the streets, keeping them from having to be swept in the winter. (To be honest, I’m not sure half the council listens when he really gets going on that subject. I’m almost certain I caught Commander Howarth doodling on a piece of scrap parchment at one point.) But again, as long as he’s being helpful, I don’t mind. 

I know you’re very busy, but if you’re able, I’d love to hear the news from Emon. Having gotten to know so many of its citizens while you all were here makes me wonder how you are all getting along. Please, in particular, pass on my greetings to Arcanist Allura. 

I’ve also enclosed a pair of mittens, knitted for you -- while I know Emon rarely gets nearly as cold as it does here, it’s not a bad thing to prepare for the possibility. And if you ever decide to visit again, your hands should hopefully remain warm.

I remain yours sincerely,

Lady Cassandra Johanna &c. de Rolo
