We Didn’t Start The Fire (SDV Superhero AU)

Ch. 32/32 — And After All This Time, I’m Still Into You T+ | Sebastian/Female Farmer, Abigail/Leah

It’s the sixteenth day of fall, and the Stardew Valley Fair is in full swing. The fall air is crisp and cool, but the sun is warm, and the sweet smell of kettle corn is on the breeze. Lights are strung across the trees. Brightly-colored booths line the streets: fortune tellers, carnival games, food vendors selling candy apples and funnel cakes… Mayor Lewis’ truck, parked safe and sound in its permanent spot beside his mansion, has its tailgate down, and the trunk is filled with hay and pumpkins. Abigail and Sam are trying their hand at the slingshot game, while Leah stands by, cheering them on. Jas and Vincent laugh and shriek as they tumble across the cobblestones towards the animal pens, accompanied by a tired but happy-looking Shane. Ava sets down the pumpkin she’s carrying, then takes a moment to look over her grange display. Considering that a good portion of her crops have been burnt to a crisp, she thinks she’s managed to pull together a pretty decent collection. There are several glass bottles of homebrew apple cider, flavored with cinnamon and clove, shining reddish-gold in the autumn sun; large, bright-orange pumpkins, alongside a basket of miniature ones; a few dozen eggs… The only empty space is that one metal bucket, off to the side, which is for— “Flowers incoming!” She turns to see a truly massive bundle of sunflowers moving towards her, with a pair of skinny jeans poking out beneath. She laughs. “Yeah, yeah, I know, I look ridiculous.” “No, you don’t!” she insists as she steers him towards the display. Sebastian sets the sunflowers in the bucket gently, pausing to arrange them a bit. She decides to help, even though he’s doing a pretty good job, and if it’s actually just an excuse to touch his hands more, she doesn’t think he’ll mind, actually. The third time she “accidentally” reaches for one of the stems at the same time he does, he narrows his eyes at her, suspicious; the fifth time it happens, he huffs out a little laugh and interlaces their fingers, giving up on the flowers entirely. “You know, I thought you actually wanted me to help set things up, but now I’m beginning to think you might have ulterior motives.” “I don’t know what you mean,” she says coyly. “You’ve been very helpful. Couldn’t have pulled this together without you.”

Read the rest on AO3!

My WIPs

Updated 12/04/2021

The hearts system I had on the previous version of this just... wasn't working anymore as I added more and more ships, so I decided to redo it, and as easily understandably as I could: numerically. Pairings will be denoted in brackets at the end of each WIP title/working title. An asterisk * means it's a series.

With this new system, if you want to yell at me to write a WIP/are intrigued and want to hear what it's about/or just want to let me know how utterly insane I am, you can just drop it's number into my inbox with whatever you want to say and, bingo. (By the way, you are always welcome to do any of the listed activities, anytime. This is your open invitation 🥰💜)

below is a list of my currently updated thread tracker since the website hasn’t working lately.... but here’s the link anyway. the threads are listed in abc order (as best as i could) by partner url !!

now that i have updated my tracker, i am willing to take on more threads (will probably post some starter calls for muses without any threads since they need love too) .... with exception!!!! as well as bust out my currently old memes in my ask box :P

and figure out relationships & verses & bios & which muses to keep / get rid of since my last update and clearing out my followers / following lists !!! pretty much everythiiing!!

i will probably from now on, as replies come in for me, i will most likely reply & add them to queue as i do them so they don’t build up and i can also work on other things in between however some might get posted right away depending on how much muse and how much interest i have towards that specific thread at the moment.

if I’m missing ANYTHING please let me know.

I OWE: already replied and added to queue. if you want to drop or move any of the following threads, feel free to let me know. i will delete it from my tracker & my queue if it hasn’t already been replied to !!

plain text = done, queued, & added to tracker

italics and indented = queued, needs added to tracker after posting

indented = in the drafts, needs icon, queued, & added to tracker.

bold = needs replies, then queued, then added to tracker

It Lives in the Shadows

Notes: Y’all didn’t think I was going to miss ILITW appreciation week did you?? Part 1/3.

Summary: The gang has been mysteriously disappearing one by one, until a strange carnival pops up where none was before, and always in the very towns where Dan has been tracking his friends to. Nothing is what - or who - it seems and Dan must unravel the mystery before his friends are lost forever. [A phantasmagorical american gods/night circus type AU].

Tags: @choicesaholic @nuttatulipa @teamtomsato

01. Ava – Marquette, Michigan

Daniel Pierce lowers his half-spent cigarette, and contemplatively exhales smoke into the cold – no, frigid – air, and burrows his other hand deeper into the pocket of his coat. Within the soft cradle, his fingertips brush against the cool, hard edge of a gun muzzle. He is leaning casually against the ring-toss booth, one foot cocked up against the wall – the right foot at the present, though he shifts his weight every few minutes. The eyes of giggling teenage girls frequently slide over him and range from boldly appreciative to blushing and overcome. There’s no doubt he cuts a striking figure; tall, well over 6-foot-3 in the old language, and with a deeply aesthetically pleasing face and eyes that are a kind of butterscotch hazel-brown. Every now and then, he smiles at a girl, just for the sheer entertainment of seeing her and her friends quite literally ‘all in a tizz’.

But for the most part, he watches. He watches the young woman – Selina Moon, she thinks her name is – as she periodically emerges from the heavily brocaded carmine-coloured tent to ply her craft. Spangled constellations in shades of gold, silver, bronze and everything in between, depending on the way the cold winter light catches them, shimmer across every inch of the lush material. The woman shimmers too; she is just as heavily adorned with jewellery of all metals. She clinks and jingles merrily as she beckons to carnival goers, and Dan’s eye is most drawn to the hammered gold coin on a chain around her neck. He can’t see the embellishment on it, but it’s almost as if the coin gives off its own heat, its own life-force.

“Fortunes told, ailments cured. Bottled luck and brewed love. Let me tell you what you need!” The woman opens her arms in a loving, inviting way to the people passing her. It’s a gesture Dan has never seen her make before – another change to go with her new name, clearly.

A young couple, clearly full to the brim with the hopeful pseudo-love of youth, stop and exchange some words with the woman Selina, before following her into the tent, and so Dan lights another cigarette to warm him as he waits. It’s maybe about 20 minutes before the couple re-emerge, and the woman Selina smiles and waves them off, all her many bracelets tinkling softly, magically.

Dan tosses his cigarette into the half-frozen dirt beneath his feet and stubs it out with the toe of his boot. Snow has begun to fall softly, and he goes to the woman Selina before any other customer can steal her. Her plum-coloured lips curve into a smile that, while enchanting, is not familiar in any way. She doesn’t recognise him.

“Read me?” he asks, in his deep, husky voice. It’s a voice that people – mistakenly or not – instantly trust and feel at ease with.

“Come right in,” she gestures, holding back one side of the tent opening.

Inside is warm, and the air smells like spices, and it even feels a little like the inside of a simmering pot, what with the reddish-gold light emanating from several lamps around the interior. A claw-footed table sits in pride-of-place in the centre, overlaid with a gossamer silver tablecloth that looks (and feels) like spun spider webs. Two plush upholstered armchairs sit on either side of the table; one a deep, forest green and the other a midnight blue velvet.

Dan sinks into the blue chair, crossing his long legs and looking at the milky crystal ball on the table critically. Fog swirls within the glass, and every now and then, Dan can swear he sees familiar red eyes.

The woman Selina sits opposite him, in the green chair, and for a moment she clinks melodiously as she arranges her silky black skirts. Everything about her is so desperately familiar – the gothic sense of style, the black and pink dreadlocks, and the dramatic winged eyeliner – everything except the overly-warm smile.

“Tell me where the others are,” Dan says by way of opening. The woman Selina cocks her head curiously. She gestures for Dan to reach out and he complies, allowing her to guide his hands onto the crystal ball. She leaves her hands covering his, and closes her eyes. Dan remains unblinking, watching her.

“You’re searching for someone,” she begins eventually, slowly. Obviously, Dan thinks, with some derision. The fog within the crystal ball swirls more aggressively. The lamps flicker. Dan knows the tricks; a secret machine beneath the table for the crystal ball, a wiring fault for the lamps. It’s the sudden chill that he doesn’t like, and the smell of rotting undergrowth – the exact smell of the woods in Westchester. A high pitched whistle blows through the tent, accompanying a blast of icy wind and some snowflakes.

The woman Selina opens her eyes. They are milky white.

02. Andy – Freemont, Ohio

The carnival appears in Freemont in the dead of night, but Dan manages to be there the very next evening, rolling into town on his huge black motorcycle. He has his ways – spies and informers who whisper to him about the things he needs to know. There is no fanfare preceding the arrival, but somehow most of the town seems to be turning out to the opening night. Dan joins the undulating crowd and melts into the lively carnival throng, his ears ringing with the sounds of rides and shouting children and carnival music.

He cannot forget the witch’s words, which he turns over and over in his head. ‘None can be retrieved until all are united.’ So he wasn’t going to be able to save his friends until they all turned up in this freaky carnival, not knowing who they were? Ava had been the first to go missing, and now was the first to return. He had tried to tell her who she was, but she had just laughed him off, telling him that she was Selina Moon and that she had always been a carnival witch. It was obvious then, that something larger than what Dan had originally thought was afoot.

He lights a cigarette and he walks, stalking the rows of booths and rides, his shoulders set against the cold and he searches, his eyes constantly looking for the next one. Who would it be? He didn’t dare hope it would be her.

The woman Selina is standing in front of her tent when Dan passes it, and she waves to him, her dozens of bangles chinking merrily about her wrists.

“Would you like another reading, Daniel?” she calls to him. Gold sparks shower from her fingertips as she blows him a kiss, and a group of passing children stop to gasp and cheer for her. Dan shakes his head as he continues past her, smiling a little, wryly. A moment later he stops, and backs up a little. His boots crunch in the fresh snow.

“Any new acts tonight, Selina?”

She starts to shake her head no, but then stops. “Actually, there’s a new acrobat in the main tent. Ambrosia King.” She turns frivolously on the spot. Her skirts are purple silk tonight; they whisper across the snow like a half-dozen ladies telling secrets. “Are you sure I can’t help you?”

“Not tonight, Miss Moon.”

Dan finds the main tent, and he enters with the crowd, finding his way to an empty patch of bench on the innermost ring to the central circle. Somehow, the interior roof of the tent looks like a galaxy expanding slowly; Dan feels infinitesimal in that moment. What power is he up against?

There are no nets, he realises, as the performance begins. Waif girls in shimmering, fringed dresses tumble through the air on golden rings and silk ribbons. Leanly muscled young men flip their bodies across the floor, before climbing ladders and throwing themselves above the crowd with precarious grips on their trapezes. One boy throws firesticks, his limbs moving with a blinding, eldritch kind of speed. Even Dan feels lost in the wonderment of the show, his heartbeat rising with every gasp from the crowd around him.

And then Dan sees him; the acrobat in a glittering midnight blue body suit, who descends from the ceiling among the silk ropes like an unfolding butterfly. He swings his way across to the trapeze with nothing but the strength of his upper body, and the audience gasps wildly as he releases one trapeze, his lithe body rotating in a kaleidoscope of sparkles, before he grabs the next trapeze safely and his captive spectators cheer raucously.

Dan would recognise the silken black hair, the intelligently sparking dark eyes, and the confident swagger anywhere. Ambrosia King salutes his adoring crowd, and his eyes fall on Dan amongst the crowd. On his middle finger of his right hand, gleams a golden ring with a hammered coin face, that seems to have a warmth of its own.

Hello, Andy, Dan thinks. Two found, four to come.

Dan hears the whispers, and feels the same chill that he did in the woman Selina’s tent of fortunes. The smell of rotting undergrowth fills his senses once again, and he sees a flickering black form rise behind Ambrosia King, its eyes glowing red. When he blinks, the shade is gone, but he hears her voice calling him, and Dan can’t shake the distinct feeling that he’s running short on time.

AU Tuesday - “Stuck With You” Part 4

(For AU Tuesday I’m writing a multi-part story about all five of my main characters using the prompt “A [platonic] soulmate AU where you have a black stain where your soulmate is supposed to touch you for the first time and it turns to millions of colors once they do.” The events are all [or mostly] canon to the series; the only real change are the soul-marks. These can really be read in any order because each part pretty much stands on its own. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 5.)

---------------------------------

Blythe glared down at the mixing bowl in her hands. She’d mixed this healing paste a thousand times and today it refused to come out the right consistency. First it had looked okay but smelled funny, so she’d tossed it out in case it caused an adverse reaction on someone’s skin or made their arm fall off or something. She should have kept that one, though, because the next had turned out lumpy no matter how much she mixed it. That, too, had gone into the trash. The third had been more of a soup than a paste, so she’d added flour as a neutral ingredient in the hope of thickening it. That had worked oh so well and now her favorite bowl was coated with something that more resembled hardened plaster than paste. It wasn’t even noon and it was already shaping up to be a day she wanted over and done with.

A familiar head popped into the open kitchen window as she tugged in vain at the spoon. “Blade! You’re gonna be late!”

As though Sol had any right to talk. She was pretty sure he’d never been on time for anything in his life. “I know. Go ahead. I’ll be there as soon as I finish this thing-”

With one last hard tug, the plaster gave up its fight, and both it and the spoon went flying towards the window in one congealed mass of failure. She winced as it took out a flowerpot before bouncing off Sol’s shoulder. At least the bowl was still in one piece.

Sol didn’t wait around for more kitchenware to be lobbed at his head. He vanished from the window, making room for sunlight to illuminate the dirt spilled over her once-clean floor. With a shake of her head, she set the bowl on the counter and reached for the broom. If only Etri had been the one at the window. He would have offered to clean up instead of scampering away and she could have gone back to working on this stubborn paste.

Her eyes returned to the empty window as it hit her what exactly Sol had reminded her about. Frit! As if this day couldn’t get any worse, she’d forgotten that she wanted to get to the bonfire early so she could talk to Etri. She let the broom fall into the corner and dashed out the door in clothes still dusted by flour to head for the troupe’s central meeting place. It was tradition for each carnival troupe to gather together for a bonding exercise on the first of every month. While this was something she begrudgingly went along with, it was Etri’s first-first with this troupe. He didn’t know anyone yet besides her and his brother, and he certainly wasn’t going to be comfortable with…

She reached the bonfire out of breath but with time to spare. Their ringmaster still spoke, his usual spiel about camaraderie and support that Blythe always tuned out because she’d heard it once a month for the past three years. Blythe had thought to ask Sol if his and Etri’s previous leader had been this dry, with the hope of subtly figuring out how Etri got around his touch aversion there, but she kept putting it off. Even if Etri had simply been comfortable with his long-time troupe or if he’d managed to avoid these get-togethers altogether, she still should have asked so she could help him here. She could kick herself for being a terrible friend.

Etri and Sol were hard to miss considering they towered over everyone else gathered in the circle. She stuck her tongue out at Sol as she walked past and instead of making a face at her like he usually did, he nodded at Etri with a worried frown. Now she felt even worse because her hunch was right. Etri didn’t seem to notice her when she stepped up to his other side. His head was bowed with his attention fixed on his boots and she had the feeling that he was using his long hair to screen out the rest of the world. The hand with the solid black mark clenched tightly at the dark fabric of his coat. Sol held his other hand and murmured something to him that had the tone of reassurance. She didn’t recognize the words, which meant he was speaking Montglacian and wasn’t a good sign because the two only seemed to speak this when Etri was on the brink of a panic attack. She wouldn’t have recommended using the language of a place Etri and Sol hated as a grounding technique, but it generally worked and she wasn’t about to suggest they try something else.

She leaned close enough that he would hear her, without being so close as to touch him, and whispered, “Etch? You okay?”

Without raising his head, he dropped his death-grip on his coat and lowered his hand to his side. When his hand brushed hers, she took it lightly in case she read this signal wrong, only to have him squeeze it as tightly as he had his coat. Etri’s relief struck her like a punch even though she always muted her touch telepathy when she wasn’t in the process of healing someone and she scrambled to build a stronger mental wall without having to let go of him. By the time she got this back under control with his thoughts on the outside where they belonged, the girl on her left-- she didn’t bother to look and see who it was-- had taken her other hand and the inevitable chanting began. She ignored the words about unity and togetherness and other things she found far too sappy and instead looked over at Etri to make sure he was handling this okay. When he noticed that he had her attention, a soft smile briefly turned up the corner of his lips and he squeezed her hand again. A smile was good. A smile meant he was comfortable and not freaking out about having to touch someone. Hand squeezing, which he was doing again, meant he was comfortable with her in particular.

Okay, all this hand squeezing was kind of strange. She leaned towards him again and whispered, “You sure you’re okay?”

That smile again, followed by another hand squeeze. He couldn’t just… talk? As she was rolling her eyes, he lifted their joined hands high enough to catch her attention. Oh. Well, that certainly explained the squeezing.

The mark on Blythe’s right hand had blossomed into full color to match the half-color on Etri’s left. Ever since she had grabbed Dray three years ago and the black marks on her hands half-changed into a rotating rainbow, she had wondered when the rest of the change was going to happen. Her left hand was still half-black, implying someone she had yet to touch. When Etri released her hand so she could look at it, she had to amend that count. The fingertip of her index finger remained black, which she guessed meant there were two more people, but who knew? Soul-marks were such a strange, unpredictable thing, and normally she hated uncertainty, but she had to admit that knowing her best friend was meant to be important to her didn’t have any downside. After discovering that Dray was one of her soulmates, she’d feared that each of her friendships were doomed to start with arson and a shoving match.

It could never be that way with Etri. She wanted to protect him and if whoever belonged to the black marks that half-remained on both of his hands so much as looked at him rudely, she’d knock them out without hesitation. With healing-induced sleep or her fists, it didn’t matter. Sol grinned at her when she caught him looking at her hand and she modified her thoughts again. If whoever was the three marks on Sol tried anything with him, they’d also have to deal with her. She wouldn’t let anyone hurt her friends, although that probably meant she should be more careful where she hurled healing paste in the future.

As she vowed this to herself, Etri leaned down to whisper to her, “You do not mind being stuck with me, yes?”

She bumped her shoulder against his arm and hoped he wouldn’t mind this type of contact any more than the hand holding. “No more than your dopey brother does.”

Etri glanced over at Sol who was still grinning like an idiot before squeezing her hand again. “Then you must like me greatly.”

“Wouldn’t be your friend if I didn’t. Besides, you’ve never set my pillow on fire.”

Within five minutes Sol would be telling her all about the time he managed to set a rock on fire, but for now Blythe felt she had made her point.

--------------

(I didn’t have a chance to write two chapters/posts this week, so for now I’m just sharing this one. If you’re curious about Dray and the arson, that happened in Part 3. As always, if you’d like to be added to the list of people I tag when I share a story, let me know. If you want off the list, also let me know. And please feel free to tag me in any stories you share because I love seeing stories in my activity feed. <3 @ageekyreader @lynnafred @the-gay-hufflepuff @firewritten @joshuaorrizonte @writtenhastily @writerlydays @ava-burton-writing @josephmxa @megan-cutler @dragonscanbeplantstoo @alittle-writer @perringcentral @an-author-in-progress @aceduchessdragoness @madmooninc @thatwriternamedvolk @elliot-orion @wchwriter @lady-redshield-writes @shadow-maker )
