this is a snippet from my wip the Grimwood Kids (the owl house fic)

-----

none of them dared to move.

Luz, Felicity, Quinn, and Nadia were all glued to their spot in the now messy living room.

all of them trying to process the chaos that had just unfolded in front of them.

In the spots where Quinn and Felicity were standing, plants lined the floors and walls. a few small white flowers were still in Quinn's hair and leafy vines were wrapped around Felicity's fingers and arms.

while in Nadia's corner, dozens of creatures had gathered around the wide-eyed ten-year-old. ranging from the local stray cats, a few of the neighbor's dogs, and their own dog, snakes, frogs, deer, birds, rabbits, etc. They all filtered in through the window and gathered around her area of the room.

all the while Luz stood in the middle of it all. slack-jawed with wide eyes. still processing the fact that she just witnessed magic.

as always, i can never keep it under 7 lines... anyway, enjoy this excerpt from Hera: To Catch a Star featuring Yojackson Owens:

“I have money,” Yojackson promised. Reaching into his coat pocket, he produced a fistful of jewelry and set it on the table: a pair of pearl earrings and a matching pearl and gold necklace, a brooch of the emperor’s insignia, and then he pulled two diamond rings from his own fingers. “I got these directly from the palace.”

     Gourlin laughed and showed his slimy tongues again. “You expect me to believe that, friend? Where’s your proof?”

     “I don’t need proof. If you always win, why even bother?”

     The toad scratched his chin, contemplating. “Fine. Pay your fees, everyone.”

     Yojackson readily paid the hologram half of all of the credits in the pouch he had stolen from the bounty hunter on Ganymede.

     “And, deal!” declared the scrawny man.

     Yojackson sat back and sighed, carefully watching Gourlin as he dealt the cards. Smoke filled the atmosphere and everyone at the table continued to add to the already heavy air.

     Yojackson received his cards and drew them to himself, making certain there was no chance anyone could tell the signs.

     “Anyone backing out now?” asked the man.

     No one did, and affirmed their wagers.

     “Dice!” called the man.

🐯= The Great Beasts (jttw + monkie kid)

🦊= The Grimwood kids (the owl house)

🦋= bluebottle manor (undertale + undertale aus)

🌧️= summer showers (a Tokyo revengers story idea i have)

🦊- Break

"aren't you kids going to take a break?" may called, dusting some fallen pine needles off her shoulders, "you've been up there for the past five hours!"

"No way!", Nadia called back as she narrowly avoided having king slip off her back.

"Yeah, aunt may" felicity added, "the journal said the sunset in a bottle held the keys to unlocking old memories!"

may furrowed her brows "what does that mean?"

"We honestly have no clue auntie!" Quinn replied, dodging a few branches luz broke off "at this point we're just going of a random coffee-stained journal and sheer boredom."

🐯- oppose

"If you oppose what he's doing then say something to him!" Qiaolian cried with exasperation as she grabbed Chuntao's shoulders

"don't just sit by and let him get away with this! wukong is literally destroying the celestial army as we speak! he has caused complete havoc and now decided to pick a fight with entire army of heaven!

where do we draw the line, Chuntao!? Where does this madness end!?"

The room was completely silent for a moment.

The tension in the room weighing down on the Chuntao, her sisters and her mother as shaking of the mountain grew stronger.

The weight of her sister's words quickly sunk into Chuntao as she looked down at the ground to try and weigh the options she had left.

the two options that would likely change her future.

whether the outcome would be positive, or negative was entirely up to fate and how merciful the gods could be on her.

🌧️-recognize

there was a small part of her that wished didn't recognize that photo.

a small part of here that wished she could rip the polaroid up into shreds and scatter them to the wind, so she didn't have to keep reliving this shit every time she saw it.

the distant melody of 'what a time' was almost muffled to her now as she stared at the photograph of her and Baji in front of the Ferris wheel.

tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. pursing her lips and doing her best to try and ignore the aching in her chest.

it happened every now and again. twelve years since she remembered hugging him last and the twenty-seven-year-old still couldn't move on from his death.

what should have been joyful memories became painful memories.

the scar she carried with her as teenager still remained with her as an adult and she knew no amount of comfort would ever bring back what she had lost.

cross (this one is for a bunch of oneshots i have for an undertale au i want to make)

in all seriousness.

was she really going to cross this bridge?

looking at it now. it didn't seem like a safe idea and Blair began to realize how old this bridge actually was.

for starters, the ropes were clearly worn. with visible parts of the ropes missing and stretched thin.

another thing she noticed was the boards of the bridge.

the old birchwood was chipped, rotted and covered in moss. some of the planks were even missing.

not to mention the fact it rained just a few days prior to her arrival. which meant the boards would be extremely slippery and difficult to traverse.

all in all. this looked like a guaranteed death sentence, and she would gladly kick the shit out of kurtis for even suggesting this as a 'shortcut' when she got back into town.

🦋-fuck

"Wait a minute. hold the fuck up..."

ashley quickly removed her eye mask to see what was lying next to her

"Who the fuck is pulling my blanket off-"

her face completely dropped the moment the mask came off.

quickly realizing what-no-who was laying in her bed

her eyes remained wide and locked. completely frozen in place as her gaze remained glued to the figure beside her.

Red.

The giant gold fanged skeleton that came just a little above her head. the same guy who arrived here with his brother literally a month ago. was in bed with her.

completely shirtless (possibly more if she dared to check under her sheets)

he was just halfway under her sheets. in bed. with her.

..................

it did take Ashley's brain a few seconds to fully register her current situation.

.... but when she did.

she reacted accordingly.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!?"

your words: break, oppose, recognize, cross, fuck

these are all from my red riding hood retelling, twtr!

In the instant of fight or flight, adrenaline pumping through his veins, a teenager with an ax had struck.

He could make empty promises: I’ll never die, The Wolf couldn’t kill me, I’ll always protect you. But those are just lies, and she is no longer a child. She wouldn’t have believed them when she was a child, either.

The fox looks over its shoulder, and even from the distance, he feels the eyes daring into him. At first, normal eyes, but they flash sliver, as quick as a blink.

The other two knights, young and inexperienced but had shown promise during magical resistance training, point in opposite directions, arguing about which area is safest to make camp. They’re both wrong. Their arguing is only putting them in more danger, but Magnus has given up trying to quell them.

“All of our attempts at tracking The Wolf have been in vain. Now it has trespassed twice, and we were completely unaware until it was too late.”

He meets her eyes briefly, before finding the familiar spot on her face where his eyes always land: a mole hidden among the freckles just below her left eye. It’s only visible when the fire flickers just right.

She wears a simple dress, a light blue that’s not much more extravagant than her casual attire.

“I can tell you are in pain.” She glares, but keeps her gaze down, backing away from him. “No, I’m not.”

He collapses on the stone beside her. The last thing he sees is her soft ginger hair flashing between stars.

Nothing for plump!!

His eye-light continued to glow a vibrant blue. looking around the dark room in a panic as a small bead of sweat rolled down his skull.

looking up at Eliza sleeping up in her hammock just a few feet above him. snoring softly as the house swung her hammock back and forth.

relief quickly washed over sans when he didn't see anything wrong.

slowly, his eyelights returned to normal. his breathing slowed and he eventually laid back down on the air mattress to try and go back to sleep.

he had plenty of nightmares before this. there was nothing strange about this one in particular.

everything was fine

...at least for now...

🦊strike🦊

the light from the strike of lighting from the old window revealed everything they needed to know.

Quinn eyes widened when the realization washed over them.

shakingly, Quinn slowly fit the ripped pages together. The two pieces fit together like a puzzle. a puzzle they had spent weeks trying to solve.

a diary entry that was the last clue to discovering the missing man from the clawthorn and Grimwood's history.

🐭foreign🐭

it almost felt like being happy was foreign to the thirteen-year-old now. like her old self was just out of reach.

like something was missing or something had been taken from her.

how long had it been since Oscar was gone? 9 months now? 9 months since she watched her baby brother's door disappear?

god. she couldn't even count the number of times she had cried herself to sleep clutching the baby blanket and stuffed animal she made him.

No matter how many months had passed, it just felt like she couldn't move on from this.

the world kept on spinning, and she was just frozen in time. always reminded each day of what could have been.

her mother and father had slowly begun accepting and truly letting go of the tragedy and did everything they could to be there for Adoncia until she herself could let go.

🐯tale🐯

"Hey ma'ma? can I ask you something?"

"Yes bai?" Rong replied, "whats wrong?"

"Who gave ba'ba his eye scar?"

Rong froze. her shoulders stiffening and her hands slightly squeezing the blankets as she tucked her daughter into bed.

even after all these years and two sets of twins, she was still unprepared her 5-year-old daughter's question.

she knew bai he would eventually ask, just like her other siblings had before her.

yet she was sill unprepared for it.

still unprepared for the pain it would bring back up. still a bit shaky from the memories that flashed in her brain. memories of blood, tears and mass destruction.

all of them asked her this same question, and she was always forced to give them the same answer.

always telling them the same painful tale when they were old enough. even if it meant hiding the crack in her voice or the shaking of her hands.

"it's a very long story bai he" she replied, the curious look on her daughter's face bringing enough comfort to hide the pained look in her eyes, "but you'll have to wait until your older to understand it"

“You believe so?” her mother’s brow rises in curiosity. “What troubles you?” “I am nineteen today,” she says. Her mother smiles, lips spreading to show her perfect teeth. “Yes, you are an adult now. Sometimes I forget how grown you are.”

It’s even the right voice, but it sounds wrong. It’s as if it wasn’t carried through the air to her ears, but instead rang out from her own mind, only to be heard by her.

Avery, at a loss, wants nothing more than to relieve her of that burden. Whatever it is she saw, no matter how heavy, he would take from her.

But now that admiration is gone, because Little Red believes he is just another guard on her mother’s list to keep her locked away in the palace. The Queen had warned him of the list. Last night, when he was officially deemed a guardsman, she had discussed the importance of his task, and the importance that he not fail as all the rest had. Ten guards Little Red has gone through in as many months since she ran into the woods.

He checks for a pulse, but it beats so slow he can barely feel it.

"THATS PREPOSTEROUS!"

"Edge, we have talked about this" Sabrina insisted, helping Venus reshuffle the uno cards "once you have one card left and you say uno, you win. so, suck it up and let's continue the game"

"Yeah bro" red chuckled "just move on from the fact I've beat you for the last three games in a row

edge sent a death glare to his brother. sharp red eye lights locked onto his brother with a clear vengeance in his eyes.

red almost immediately shrinked back into his chair. grabbing the uno cards when they were handed to him while trying not to look his brother directly in the eye

however, Ashely, who was sitting on the couch playing her DS, quickly noticed it and sent a death glare of her own to the edge.

it worked, because he eventually backed down and everyone returned to playing the game in semi-peace.

🐯forgive🐯

"Forgive?" Rong scoffed, turning to her sister with a look anger and disbelief "forgive you and wukong? give you closure after what you did?"

Chuntao's shoulders slumped, not even able to look her sister in the eyes as she stood in the doorway

"Your husband not only killed my husband and took his eye from him" she growled, her angry gaze burning holes into her sister,

"But he betrayed him. betrayed his own damn friends and threatened to kill him and me if we ever came around again! I had to topple mountains and nearly dismantle the heavenly palace to get him back!"

Chuntao could already feel her heart cracking at the subtle pain in her sister's voice.

The memories of having to bring macaque back, the pained and sorrowful screams her sisters beast let out and the cries of joy she let out when she embraced him again stinging Chuntao as her sister continued.

"that's not even the worst part!" Rong laughed "I knew one day wukong would pull some shit like this...But finding out you knew what he was going to do and didn't even try and stop him?"

🦊stars + sky🦊

"Who wants milk and homemade brownies?" felicity offered, climbing up to the roof with a thermos, four mugs and brownies that smelt just like brown sugar and melted chocolate

"Milk and brownies!?" luz gasped dramatically, taking care not to slide off the roof "how could I refuse such a marvelous feast!"

"yeah" Quinn replied with a laugh, looking away from gazing at the stars and sky "I'll take some!"

"Me too!" Nadia and king replied at the simultaneously, king jumping off nadias shoulders and walking over to felicity and her basket

all the while eda and may sat in the front yard below watching the kids with warm smiles as the enjoyed the summer night air.

both of them content and happy that the kids get a few moments of quiet without worrying about their safety.

🌦️Peace🌦️

peace. my god would she give anything just to have a little peace and quiet for five minutes.

it couldn't be helped though

her older sister Imai and her nine-year-old nephew, Imai's son, Noboru were playing Mario kart.

it was still summer break and klarma took him to game-stop earlier that day as a treat.

her mother Takako and her sisters Dao and haruko were downstairs helping take care of the cats in the cafe after closing for the night.

which left klarma sitting in bed looking through old polaroids in her scrapbook.

nostalgia washing over her as she read the labels on each photo.

a small note written under one of them made her laugh and cry at the same time.

under a polaroid of Imai when she was nineteen, crying and holding a newborn Noboru in the hospital, it reads in red glittery gel pen.

'🍂November 22nd, 2008, 🍂'

holy shit. I'm officially an auntie at eighteen.

Baji would be laughing his ass off if he was with us right now because of the shit show that just went down this morning trying to get to the hospital.

I never thought we could get to this point at our age, but it happened.

don't worry little guy. even if your dumbass dad isn't here, you have plenty of people who love you and won't leave your mama on read when she needs us.

welcome to the world Noboru Okimoto. we promise to give you and your mom the best we can offer.

My Words: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Warm

Your Words: preposterous, forgive, stars, peace, sky

See below! These are all from my paranormal fantasy :P

Sweet

But he tastes the fresh blood from Helio’s lip, and it’s much sweeter than it smells. He’s kissing a werewolf—something he has never experienced, despite his years. He doesn’t want to stop.

Sour - none actually???

Salty - nothing??? what??

Bitter

His lips break into a bitter smile against his will. “If someone told me a thousand years ago that a supernatural apocalypse would depend on whether I fucked a wolf, I would’ve never believed it.”

Warm

Lara mirrors his tiny smile, curling just at the edges of her lips. Tremaine’s gaze tears deep into her, but they no longer seem intense. They are suddenly so familiar, so warm, that she can’t pull away. She doesn’t want to.
