You're losing me

Actor! Credence Barebone x Actress! Reader

Modern! Au

Summarization: You and Credence are actors that had been in a relationship for quite long and one day a new love team surfaces between him and nagini.. The more it had continued on you feel abandoned and unlove so you decided to...

Warning: Angst, mentions of cheating, love team, Reader feels abandoned by credence, arguemeants, Sad ending, cursing, and insecurities.

(I'm bad at english so please bare with me)

Before all the events, Credence had texted you.

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

Credence: Love!!

Credence: I got the role for the movie I applied for!

Credence: All tho I'll have to have a new lead actress for this one, would it be okay for you?

(Y/N): That's great for you love!!

(Y/N):Ofcourse its okay! Literally its our job!

(Y/N): Goodluck!! Don't tire yourself out much!

Credence:Ofcourse! I'll never forget you even if I have someone else as my co-star..

Credence: Loveyou!

(Y/N): Loveyoutoo!🩷

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

After all that it had been crumbling for you, you felt happy for him at first ofcourse. Then suddenly it just all crashed down, he had been giving more time to the girl than you. It made you feel insecure, you felt as if nagini was prettier than you, she'd always been but it hurt you.

The more time had passed more articles would make rumor's about them being together, and each time it never failed to hurt you. Most of their fans hated you, always commenting how they look better than you and credence being together.

But as you broke down your phone buzzed, a new notification from him. He finally texted you again. He reminded you about something..

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

Credence: Hey, get ready we have a date night.

Credence: But we have to be quick, me and nagini's manager wants more publicity action.

(Y/N): Ok careful driving.

(Y/N): Loveyou hun :)

Love🩷 Reacted to your message 👍🏻

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

He always said "I love you back" now all he does is either leave you on read or react to your message, your credence had grown distant to you and it made you feel so lonely and cold. How did someone so sweet turn so cold and unresponsive? You sighed as you thought more about how much he's change ever since he got this role. He spent more time with nagini now.

You can't leave him you thought, hey it's for his career right? Maybe he'll turn back sweet again and be the same old credence he was. You tried to re-assure yourself as you got ready in the shower.

After you got done you did your hair and make up. Hoping that psyhically he'd still be sweet and cheerful. As you finally put on your shoes, you hear the doorbell ring. It must be credence, you thought to yourself. After you opened your door it really was credence and he looked tired and cold. But most of all he didn't give you flowers like he usually did. Back then even if tired he'd give you a bouquet or a single flower. Now not even anything, but still maybe it was just nothing maybe he had just forgotten since he had been tired.

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

(Timeskip)

You guys had arrived in the restaurant, still Credence still seemed to be un-energetic. You didn't want to annoy him or anything so you decided to stay silent until both of your orders had arrived.

As the more you zoned out, you didn't realize that the food that you guys had ordered finally came to your table. You hear most of the plates clank as it hit the table snapping you out of your thoughts.

"So how was your day today hon?" You finally spoke after the silence you both endured in the car and upon entering the restaurant.

"It was fine, everything was tiring but nagini made it fun atleast" He said mentioning her name again, it made your heart feel like it was shattered for a thousand pieces. So you just nodded and took a bite out of your food.

After he mentioned her you felt like you lost all energy to even talk about anything to him. So you just stayed silent before he finally spoke first for the first time in the past few months.

"Are you fine?" He said, it made you feel happy that he finally noticed something was wrong, but still this was the bare minimum right?

"No, I'm not. Its just this days you can't even seem to spare me a single glance. It feels so cold without you. Even in your day off's it feels like you spend more time with your co-workers" You said finally confessing how you felt.

But instead of re-assuring you he suddenly got annoyed. "Jeez (Y/N), its our literal job that I would risk if I gave you more attention that this goddamn movie! Its like I should give you all of my attention, I just want a goddamn rest mygod!" He yelled at you and it made you feel so upset and it made you more lonely than you ever used to have.

After you both ate, you both just rushed in the car and didn't talk as he drove you back to your house.

Neither of you said sorry, you just got out of the car. He didn't even walk you to the door he just left immediately his car roaring loudly as it left.

You suddenly got a notification from your manager saying that there will be a gala for tomorrow night.. Which also means Credence was invited and it would make both of you look awkward, but hey he'd probably be just hanging out with nagini so what's there to worry about now?

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

(TIMESKIP TO THE GALA NIGHT)

As you got ready the more you anxious you get, you tried to re-assure yourself but you couldn't handle it.

Suddenly you get another notification from twitter it was an article.

"Nagini and Credence spotted together last night hugging each other?"

You'd see the whole article and if you said it didn't bring such a huge sting into your heart people would see right through you.

Finally you were done and ready to go to the gala, you wanted to cry and breakdown as the time passes on. You just wanted to call credence and seek for his comfort but you knew not to settle for less so you decided that you'd confront him this night.

You snap out of your thoughts when you remember that your driver had honked his car outside to let you know that he had been there.

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

You finally arrived in the place that you all had been assigned to, just as soon as you stepped out the flashes of the camera's blinded you but you continued to strut down pretending that you felt confident despite everything that has happened in your life.

"So (Y/N).." You hear a cheerful voice besides you and when you look at them it had seemed like they were an interviewer.

"Oh my! Hello! Rude of me not to notice you were right there.." You said once again faking your feelings as you didn't want to bring anyone's mood down.

"So (Y/N) how do you feel tonight? You looks so stunning... You're so beautiful like a goddess has walked on earth definitely!" She said complimenting you, it had sent a deep wave of happiness to your heart as this sweet girl complimented you so nicely and sweetly. It didn't feel like every other interview where the interviewers had been plastic and all.

"Oh I'm fine for now.. But I hope the rest of the night goes well and I just hope everything turns out happy. Also, thank you for the compliment and oh my gosh you look stunning in your own little uniform" You said to her returning her compliment in a thankful manner.

"Aww thank you Ms. (Y/N) , I hope you really do have a fantastic night at this gala." and with that she left you now starting to interview more of the peoplw that had arrived.

Finally after all of the interviews and photo's you saw him and.. Nagini..? I guess it is for their contract after all. You decided to just finally let yourself be free and start drinking.

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

(Few hours later)

You were drunk and tipsy, you had drank atleast 10 glasses of vodka and 3 glasses of beer. You suddenly felt yourself march up to someone, It was Credence and he wasn't with nagini or anyone at all.

"You! how could you! after eveything we've been through you're gonna choose her over me Credence!?" you'd yell at him as no one could hear you both. You guys were at the balcony after all, a balcony that no one would know you were both up in.

"(Y/N) leave me alone.. You're stressing me out.." Credence said with a tired tone like he had yesterday

"You're losing me babe" You said in a painful sob

"Do something babe please, I still need and want you" You choked out

"What are you talking about?" Credence said sounding almost irritated now.

"Its me or her Credence." You said in a spiteful yet drunk voice.

"Lose something babe, risk something please" You said as you started to violently sob.

"You cannot make me pick between you (Y/N)! She is my friend! I cannot pick between you both!" Credence argued.

" Is she just your friend or do you fucking love her Credence! Is she just a friend or you fell for her while I was suffering feeling all those thoughts as you were seen happy! It all felt like a knife was cutting me deep inside, I felt so lonely credence. I felt so vunurable! You fucking lost me Credence." You said yelling as you cried feeling all your emotions explode. After that you had not waited for him to respond as you finally ran away and called for your driver.

But after you ran you could hear him call for you, it almost made the world feel like it had slowed down but you didn't let it happen and continue to run.

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

Hi! I'm gonna do another on of this where it starts with (Y/N)'s pov but then switches to credence so we finally know how he felt about this whole situation. So I'm probably gonna use more taylor swift's songs to emphasize my stories. In the next part I might use dress or cornelia street;))

AdA, Kapitel 86: Feuer frei

Jacob schlief noch halb, als seine Füße ihn durch die inzwischen vertrauten Straßen trugen. Es war halb drei am Morgen und er gestattete sich ein herzhaftes Gähnen, während er in Gedanken schon bei dem neuen Scones-Rezept war, dass Mr. Wynn ihm gegeben hatte. Es störte ihn nicht, früh aufzustehen, wenn das bedeutete, bald vor einer Schüssel Teig und einem warmen Ofen zu stehen. London war nie ruhig, aber die Straßen waren leer und Jacob trottete gemütlich voran, als ihm plötzlich ein verbrannter Geruch in die Nase stieg.

You know, I love seeing Alya in a lot of different fics, and I've seen her depicted in a few different ways.

I enjoy seeing her just being there, taking on a similar role to what she does in the show, helping out when needed, and overall being a kind person who enjoys helping others.

But while I like seeing her in that capacity, since it's a positive portrayal that is nice to her, it's not the sort of portrayal that really gets me excited. It's a kind of "background, supporting character" kind of portrayal, and while that's needed sometimes, it doesn't really develop her all that much.

The depictions of her that really get me excited, that make me gush about how well the fanfic's treating her, are the ones that don't just portray her positively, but instead treat her like a full person. Ones that delve into her emotions, her viewpoint, and even her biases, that let her make decisions based on what's best for her personally, and maybe even regret them later. But importantly, she's not treated as being bad or evil for this, but instead as a person who's muddling through life as best she can, who has things she wants and values in conflict.

Actually the show touched on this sort of thing as well, it's one of the reasons I really liked Alya in Rocketear. We got to see her struggle with her conflicting loyalties to both Marinette and Nino, with wanting to follow Marinette's orders while also not wanting to lie to Nino and potentially damage their relationship. And I liked her eventually telling Nino that she's helping Ladybug, because she didn't want to continue lying to him after that particular lie had already caused damage in their relationship. And while Alya later was dismayed at how things went down in the finale, Marinette didn't blame her, understood where she was coming from, and wanted her to continue.

That's the sort of thing I want to see. For Alya to have her own viewpoint and to make decisions based not simply on eternal loyalty to one person, but as a result of weighing her different values and wanting things to work out in the best way she can make them. And for her to sometimes be wrong or for something to have negative consequences, and still have her treated with kindness and respect. For her desires to be treated as being a worthy reason to do things, because her desire to be happy matters.

Like... with Marinette, I'll see this represented in fanfiction frequently. Marinette can be snappy or irritated, or even lie and hide things because she thinks they'll lead to a better outcome, and even when she hurts others in the process, the narrative is often sympathetic to her and gives credence to her thoughts, emotions, and viewpoints, and depicts her trying to make things better for herself as an understandable thing.

While for Alya, it's a lot harder to find something like that. Most of the time she's in a supportive role where any personal issues she has aren't focused on and she's mostly there to help out Marinette with whatever she has going on. In a lot of fics where she DOES do something for her own personal benefit, when she prioritizes herself at all or simply weighs all her different relationships and balances them as best she can, but in a way that's detrimental to the person the author likes the most, she'll be portrayed as a horrible, cruel person deserving of punishment, or at the very least as needing to learn a harsh lesson to become a better person. Any desire to do something for herself or to help maintain relationships she values is looked at in the worst possible light.

Just... I love stories that allow Alya the same sort of grace and understanding as most main characters are afforded.

Credence Painter and one of the thestrals she cares for. Leaning toward Ellis, but adult Jane makes sense, too. Up to interpretation I suppose. Blood Defied Chapter List An Ominis Gaunt x Credence Painter fanfic

[marzipanandminutiae]

my current working theory is that the real author of My Immortal doesn't know it went viral

a lot of us wrote cringy fanfic back in the day, and not everyone stayed involved in fandom. if they knew, why wouldn't they come forward? no, I think there's some lawyer or mid-level manager out there who was the legendary Tara and thinks it was just a cringy thing they wrote in middle school that eventually faded into obscurity

(my second theory is that Rose Christo actually DID write it, because "the My Immortal author later made up a dramatic backstory for it, including pretending to be Native, to sell her upcoming novel" is a completely believable statement IMO. like. more believable than "she wrote it to find her lost brother uwu!!!!" if anything, her being a complete trainwreck liar ironically lends MORE credence to her authorship claim in my mind)

Heya I saw you like Severitus too 😁😁

(I noticed it after your amazing little Fanart of Obscured and it's so beautiful and sad at the same time 🥺😭😭 do you have others favorite chapters of this fanfic?)

But I'm curious 👀

Have you a favorite Severitus fanfics list 👀 ?

first off, thank you <3 I love Obscured all the way through, my all time favorite chapters would be chapters 18 and 19 respectively and chapter 5 though mainly for the hurt/comfort, drama, angst and just brilliant writing I am glad you asked about my severitus favorites because I have a comprehensive list of all my favorite Severitus fics and have had them lined up for my weekly rereads and now I get to share them...this is my moment this is not a "oh this fic is on this number because its better than the others" because to me, most of these fics are as good as the other and each deserve their own respect for good writing and storylines :) there's no real organization to this it just is so lets get down to it 1. Like None Other series-this series always makes it onto the Severitus fic recs but im adding it too because I adore it sm. mainly for the magic lore and Harry growth and generally just some good fucking Severitus and ofc im a stickler for Draco being thrown into that dynamic as well so. yes, lovely series 2. A Patchwork Family-there is no universe where this fic doesn't make it to this list, the Severitus, the childhood trauma, the ptsd healing, the emotional hurt/comfort...I enjoy the first one immensely and am so so so hyped for the sequel and just from the first chapter im even more ecstatic bc now we incorporate MORE trauma and yes I could yap forever about this 3. Obscured-do I have to even explain why this is on here. you have no idea how much this fic inspired my hyper fixation on Obscurials...no, I had not watched Fantastic Beasts before reading this fic, but I definitely did after and I woke everyone up screaming every time Credence made an appearance...the ADHD is strong in me. anyway this fic's writing is so damn good its like eating a hot meal or a full night of sleep its so satisfying for me personally, and the author is also a Six of Crows fan and I can glean the inspiration and when have I ever been denied the joys of Grishaverse writing. NEVER 4. Digging for Bones-okay so this fic??? its dark. its sometimes a bit TOO dark, but I enjoy it nonetheless, its always gotten quite a few tears from me...AND it includes magic lore, so I obviously was all over that. the Severitus is good, this whole fic radiates rainy day vibes and is just generally nice despite the morose energy 5. O Mine Enemy-this was one of my first glimpses into Severitus and...it's just lovely. a lovely fic, a lovely time all around, I enjoy it immensely every time I read it, the hurt/comfort is amazing and the Severitus is delicious here. the writing style is super satisfying to me and its just a good time all around (I had to split this in two bc my computer is being odd)

Faded Away (Potter Twin x Dean Thomas; Obscurial)┃Premise - dreamquaffle47 - Harry Potter - AO3, Wattpad

If you're tired of Potter twin cliches, then this book is for you.

Stolen away on the night her parents died, Mary grew up as the problem child of an incompetent Muggle couple. She knows she is different, that much is evident from people's reactions to the things she can do. But when Mary is thrown into a world where magic is real, she will soon discover that being haunted by the ghosts of her parents and being driven up the wall by a man who claims to be her mother's friend is the least of her concerns.

Something lurks in the dark recesses of her mind. Something that has been trapped in the shadows for far too long. Something evil that wants to break out.

Albus Dumbledore cannot help but take a special interest in the little girl in whom he sees his dead sister - especially because history may be repeating itself…for the third time. He fears that Mary bears the curse of the Dumbledores: an Obscurus that threatens the very foundation of Hogwarts.

"all my characterizations and stories are the same" ... to the very slim extent I'm willing to give these critics credence, you do have a pretty distinctive narrative style, especially compared to a lot of fanfic writers. The best of those are intentionally chameleonic, but a lot just haven't really developed their own voice. Your writing actually reminds me oddly of Ursula Vernon, despite your wildly different styles; you've each got your set of ideas you keep coming back to, but you also keep finding new ways to look at the same tropes. Novelty is overrated - you've got craft.

Thank you! That's really kind of you to say, and a comparison to Ursula Vernon is always high praise :) I do my best to write what will entertain and maybe cause some thought, and I try to keep developing my craft.

You don't bounce around fandom for twenty years without making a few enemies even if you aren't trying to, and particularly when you're a) high profile and b) super oblivious, both of which I've been for most of those twenty years. I try to be less inadvertently provocative these days, but some people are going to read malevolence into what I do regardless.

Given I know that I'm doing my best, however, I don't pay a whole lot of heed to stuff like that anymore. If it's true, there's nothing I can do that I'm not already doing, and if it isn't true then it doesn't matter. Given how long it's been a critique, from people who presumably don't keep reading my work, it's also possible that it's based on writing from ten or twenty years ago.

In any case, I appreciate the compliment, and I will do my best to keep being worthy of it!

[quidfree]

hello! i've followed you to indulge in your TSH content, having just finished the book and your fanfic Sober II (Melodrama) back to back! (i'm destroyed!!)

i'm wondering if you've given any thought to whether Richard (Tartt's Richard, or yours) is gay or maybe bisexual? he ofc probably would not make that distinction himself - given the time period, or his aversion to that kind of self reflection, or the apparent finality of his relationship with Francis, or maybe all of the above - but it's fun to think about now, especially myself being someone who now IDs as a lesbian after 10 years of IDing as bi.

thank you for your service 🫡

hello! love your username btw. and thank you, glad to have you in the quidfree extended tartt community.

i like the 'tartt's richard or yours' distinction- i would say i do make an effort so that (to me at least) my richard is a plausible iteration of hers, i.e. i do not like to write so that the characters are 'my' versions unless i think the source material is bad (or at least bad in that specific way). but some of my less serious tsh material veers further into the 'my' side of the scale, for sure. anyway all that to say i don't have separate sets of thoughts on 'both' richards, it's more that there's some stuff i'm 100% on being in canon and some stuff i know i extrapolated into the extended materials my tsh fic constitute.

all that aside, i actually do not have strong feelings on whether richard is gay or bisexual. i think both have strong canon grounding and present similar but slightly different psychologies of the character. the obvious thing is that richard is repressing his attraction to men, but whether he's also comphet in his attraction to women is debatable. he's consistently attracted to them and sleeps with/dates them across all of canon, but on the other hand the key female love interests for him are 1) judy, whose interest he doesn't reciprocate 2) mona, who he sleeps with post murder in a fugue state 3) camilla, who he deifies as a feminine ideal and also always lauds the androgynous beauty/looks she shares with her brother of and 4) sophie, who does lend the most credence to him actually being into girls but also is someone he latches onto when his whole group has deserted him and then fails to emotionally connect with despite several years of dating. of course that could be the trauma, the repression, or both! but my point is there's evidence both ways, no pun intended. richard has very distinct ways of thinking about men and women but it's not as simple as one thing- there's his own self-perception/masculinity, his sexism, his homophobia, and his sexuality all playing a part.

you're right that he wouldn't make the distinction himself, though- either way, his canon thought process is very much 'well i'm not one of those' and that's a catch-all. if and when he gains self-awareness it would have to be through a prolonged relationship of some kind, e.g. with francis in sober ii-verse, because one-offs he can excuse and repress. which is why i think once that sort of long-term realisation happened he would think that he had been lying to himself/everyone the whole time beforehand and secretly consider himself a homosexual (regardless of whether this would be accurate).

i think modern day richard would be more likely to call himself bisexual regardless of which option you go with as more likely. you know that quote from obama's biography about reading marx to get with bisexual college girls... that's somehow richard-coded but in the sense that he thinks calling himself 'flexible' or whatever lets him sound liberated but plausibly heteronormative. in any setting francis delights in the corner he paints himself into.

Armsmaster nodded, “Not surprising.  She’s new.  What we know about her is limited.  She made her first appearance and demonstration of her powers by way of a drawn out terrorism campaign against Cornell University.  Lung apparently recruited her and brought her to Brockton Bay after her plans were foiled by the New York Protectorate.  This is… something of a concern.” “What are her powers?” “Are you aware of the Tinker classification?”

ahem. okay. i can be normal enough about alec for long enough to liveblog. just the two notes here that

i really like the specificity of Against Cornell University. this obviously isn't something you pick up on a first read but it adds so much more character to her & background credence to the idea that villains aren't just generic people doing generic terror campaigns they're people with real lives and specific breaking points and personal tragedies going on beneath the surface. like ohhhh the Evils Horrors Of The American Schooling System got you huh

good worldbuilding and [gripping people by the shoulders] GOOD FOR WORM FANFIC WRITERS TO REMEMBER that power classifications are niche military terminology used specifically by the PRT to communicate the appropriate necessary response to particular powered threats in brief enough phrasing that you could shout it out during a fight and your fellow officer would understand what it meant + have time to react to it Before they were killed badly. niche enough that armsmaster has reason to ask a newer cape if they even know what the fuck a tinker is.

[thevelaryons]

Hi! Any predictions for Season 3? I’m expecting only the worst after George’s blogpost.

P.S. I think the show should get cancelled too.

HOTD is basically glorified fanfic so who knows what direction the writers will take.

But I’m sure Corlys won’t be getting any part of his cunning and diplomatic personality from the book. The writers seem determined to keep him on the sidelines as much as possible.

Most of the changes to Corlys (and house Velaryon in general) have been made around the Driftmark succession. So I think the resolution of the Driftmark succession issue will happen in season three. There’s a part in season two, where Alyn talks about Corlys never acknowledging his bastards until High Tide is destroyed. So after the Battle of the Gullet in season three, either Jace or Joffrey will die, then the remaining one will be left as Rhaenyra’s heir to the Iron Throne. At this point, since Corlys will be in need of an heir, he can just name one of his bastards. This helps avoid portraying Corlys acting against Rhaenyra as he was doing in the book.

I actually think it’s possible that Joffrey will be the one dying at the Gullet. The writers might be extending Jace’s role. Also, since there are parts of Jace’s personality on the show that are taken from book!Joffrey, it lends credence to the idea that their deaths will be switched. With how Jace’s relationship to the dragonseeds has been written so far, it’s possible that his classism/bastardphobia might be framed as the reason for their desertion.

Alyn shouldn’t even be part of the war at this stage. In the book, he only joined later when his family was threatened. Meanwhile, the show has him running random errands now. He’ll probably continue doing that and also managing the fleet with Corlys.

I’m less sure of what Addam’s story will be like in the show. Rhaenyra condemning innocents under false accusations was one of her most villainous acts in the book. While the writers did solve half of that problem by erasing Nettles’ existence, they still need a way to deal with Addam. He might be portrayed as an actual traitor so the accusations against him look more justified. Though it could be that Jace’s time in the show will be extended so that he is the one who makes the accusations against the dragonseeds instead. The show has already depicted Jace as kind of a hateful bigot (which was more book!Rhaenyra’s personality). ‘Mongrel’ and ‘common lout’ aren’t too far off from ‘low creature’ and ‘common thing’, so I can also see the show playing up the antagonism between Jace and Addam next season.
