Marcus Crow

The Rebellious Vampires, of which Markus is a part of, seem to focus on leading a rebellious, dastardly lifestyle (which probably includes drinking plasma from Sims rather than from plasma packs).

[bonefall]

this is based of the halloween special patrols in clangen but what would the clans think a scarecrow is? would they thinks it's a really fucked up Twoleg or a twoleg creature like how they think cars are twoleg controlled monsters

They're easily spooked by them! They can't see them unless they're at a vantage point where they can view the whole field, unlike a crow which FLIES at the farm. Clan cats approach from the ground and are small animals.

So they usually find them by bumping right into the pole. It's obvious it isn't a real human but... is it not unsettling? That humans create these... straw effigies of themselves?

A rumor would get started that it's actually a poppet, a channeling tool for forbidden magic, and it would make WindClan feel sick to its stomach. EVIL humans, of COURSE they have their own Dark Forest!!!! They probably don't even have a StarClan! Awful, fiendish beings!

WindClan is the only one that visits the fields on a normal basis though, and even then, only in times of scarcity when there are no wild grains to make into dough. They would likely avoid fields with scarecrows, if they had a choice, and if they did visit they would be more discrete than usual. Usually, they'll kill vermin as "trade," leaving crows and rats on the farm doorstep, but not if there's a scarecrow present.

Chelford Townies knew about the Clans long before science did though. So they probably caught onto it. WindClan never takes a noticeable amount of grains, and the vermin cleanup is appreciated. I'm not sure what they did to make the scarecrows less terrifying to the cats but equally terrifying to the crows, though...

I feel like adding anything shiny would just attract crows and magpies, which the the absolute opposite thing they'd want, so they wouldn't learn that through happenstance. Putting out the classic catfood and toys would just scare WindClan even more, "THEY WANT TO MAKE US INTO KITTYPETS!!!!" And the farmers deeefinitely don't know anything about their star-based culture.

So yeah, unsure. Communication issue. Maybe it can get better at the Lake where someone can go to a talk in the nearest town and approach a researcher directly. In any case I'm sure the actual staff at Windover Farm (they dont own it, the Windovers did before selling it to DevCo) in Chelford miss the cats terribly.

AU #16 (The Valley)

brains are incredible things, really, mine makes the funkiest connections.

anyway, Stardew Valley au, but not really

-no Ogygia, ie: Leo doesn't meet Calypso

-instead, Leo falls into this odd, definitely in a different plane of existance, little town

-he's found by 'the farmer' (would that count as self insert? it wasn't me in the dream)

-the farmer lets him stay in exchange for help with farm chores

-Leo gets to meet the townies, only he's like, hyperaware that he doesn't belong here, and that this place is fake

-so he notices the weirder things, like the gift related stuff, and the repeated dialogues

-though he does find about the wizard, and while he knows talking to them won't help, he might find something in their house that will

-so he had to do a whole thing abt befriending the wizard as quick as possible, while still looking for other ways to get out

-all this while normal plot stuff happens back in the ship

-then, during one of the nights he spends there, he manages to dream walk into one of the 7's dreams, but can't get their attention

-he figures out how he did it and tries again and again, until eventually he reaches Nico, who was his last resort

-Nico obvs responds, cause I think he had the dream walking ability in the books (if not, he has it for this au)

-the two discuss Leo's situation, and how to get him out of there so he can go back to saving the world

-during these exchanges Leo finds out the valley is in a time bubble (days last minutes, weeks hours, months days) , and he can make time go faster by going to sleep, because every time he wakes up the next day.

-also, he starts growing comfortable with Nico, taking turns in each of their mindscapes, and slowly becoming close

-I have no idea how he gets out of there, but he does eventually

-when he returns, Nico seeks him out while he's fixing stuff, and it's a little awkward but they manage to start talking

-Leo invites Nico to hang out with him instead of in the crow's nest, since Leo barely sees the others unless he seeks them out

-they become friends first, but both start seeing the other differently, and realizing that they like what they see

-I don't know how fate would correct the lack of the promise, but I'm sure y'all can figure it out

-also, I didn't get to see the resolution, but I like to think they get together after Gaia's defeated

that's all

Embers Of Love

Got really bored and wrote a one shot of the derby and Lovette breakup after math so uh…. Enjoy!

(Warnings: Uhhh Very sad, talks of self hate.)

Lovette stood outside, leaning against the cold metal wall of the old Autoshop, a cigarette dangling from her chilled fingers. The evening air was crisp, biting at her exposed skin, but she welcomed the freeze. It matched the coldness she felt inside her body, a coldness that had settled in her heart since the breakup. She took a drag of the cigarette, letting the smoke fill her lungs before exhaling slowly, watching as it dissipated into the night like a ghost.

She had never been a huge smoker before, Vance having introduced her to the habit one night during a party the greasers threw in the auto-shop for Johnnys birthday. It always left a bad taste in her mouth, she found herself craving one before and after her shifts. But tonight, it felt right. It felt like the kind of thing a girl who didn’t give a shit about herself would do. And right now, she wanted to be that bitch. The one who didn’t care, who wasn’t still reeling from the end of a relationship that had turned out to be nothing more than a mistake.

As she stood there, she could see the lights of the town in the distance, the glow from the street lamps casting long shadows on the cobblestone streets. Townies riding past on their bikes yelling and hollering at each other and a few cops that chased them down. Besides that, It was a peaceful night, the kind that usually made Lovette feel calm, centered even. But tonight, there was no peace to be found, only a deep, simmering anger that had been building inside her all week.

She took another drag from the cigarette, her hand trembling slightly as she brought it to her lips. “Derby Harrington,” she muttered under her breath, the name tasting bitter on her tongue. “What a joke. What a pathetic, spoiled boy.” She scoffed

Lovette’s voice was sharp, each word laced with venom as she let her thoughts spill out into the quiet night. “All he ever cared about was himself. His image, his stupid reputation. He didn’t care about me. I was just another trophy to him, something to show off at his stupid parties and his even stupider friends.” Lovette pushed away from the auto shops wall, taking a glance at a near by crowbar that someone has left out.

She flicked the ash from her cigarette, watching as it fluttered to the ground. Placing it in her mouth to free up her hands, scooping the crow bar up she gave it a few swings. “He’s nothing but a rich, shallow, arrogant bastard. All that money, all that privilege, and he’s still empty inside. He’s just a hollow shell, a pretty face with nothing behind it.” She grumbled, it sounding muffled from the cancer stick in her lips.

The words came easily now, her anger giving them life. It felt good to say them out loud, to let them escape from the prison of her mind where they had been festering, growing more toxic by the day. “And what does he have now?” she continued, her voice rising. She took a few steps back to a nearby barrel of oil. “A bunch of Incest loving friends and an ego already bigger than when we started dating. That’s all he’ll ever have. He’ll never know what it’s like to be loved for who he is because there’s nothing there to love!” She raised the crow bar with a swift *Woosh!* aiming it as she struck it down upon the barrel. A large crack sounded through the air as the black substance inside drained out of the metal container. Lovettes chest heaved with rage as she glared down at the sight in front of her. Her grip on the crowbar turning her knuckles white.

She took another drag, but this time, the smoke burned her throat, making her cough. The anger that had fueled her tirade was starting to wane, leaving behind a hollow emptiness. Lovette’s shoulders slumped as the cigarette slipped from her fingers, falling to the ground and smoldering at her feet. Her shakey hands releasing the crow bar as it slowly sank into the puddle of oil on the ground.

The fight drained out of her, replaced by a heavy sadness that settled over her like a shroud. She had wanted so badly to be strong, to convince herself that she didn’t care, that she was better off without him. But as the night grew darker and the cold air bit deeper, Lovette couldn’t keep up the façade any longer.

She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to stave off the chill, but it wasn’t just the cold that made her shiver. It was the realization that no amount of anger, no amount of bitter words, could change the fact that she was heartbroken.

“It was never going to work..,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “

Her vision blurred as tears welled up in her eyes, and she blinked furiously, trying to hold them back. But it was no use. The tears came anyway, spilling down her cheeks in hot, stinging streams. She sniffled.

“I thought I loved him,” she said, her voice breaking. “I thought he loved me.”

Lovette’s breath hitched as she sank to the ground, her back pressed against the cold stone wall. The night felt too big, too empty, and she felt so small, so alone. She had spent so much time trying to be perfect for Derby, trying to fit into the mold he had created for her, like a lost lamb and its shepherd, she had lost sight of who she really was.

The sobs came then, tearing through her with a force that left her gasping for air. She hugged her knees to her chest, burying her face in her arms as she cried. The anger was gone, replaced by an overwhelming grief that threatened to consume her.

“I hate him,” she choked out between sobs, but even as she said the words, she knew they weren’t true. She didn’t hate him—not really. What she hated was the way he had made her feel, the way he had made her doubt herself, the way he had made her believe that she was only worth something if she was with him.

The tears flowed freely now, each one a release of the pain she had been holding inside. Lovette cried for the girl she had been before Derby, the girl who had believed she was more than what her mother wished for her to be, who had believed in herself. She cried for the future she had imagined with him, a future that would never be. And she cried for the loneliness that had settled in her heart, a loneliness that felt like it would never go away.

For a long time, Lovette sat there, her body wracked with sobs, her tears soaking the ground beneath her. And as she cried, she let her heart break open completely, knowing that the girl she had once been was gone, and all that remained was a shattered reflection of the love she had lost, flickering like the last ember of her dying cigarette.

Seeking Beta Readers!

Hi there!

I'm reaching out because I figure at least some of you are here because you've enjoyed my writing on AO3 over the years! I just finished the first draft of an original fiction novel I've been writing (on and off) since 2017, and it's time to get some fresh eyes on it! It's about a small town witch with a cranky crow Familiar trying to break a curse for a femme fatale. And yes, there is magic, it is gay, and it is even polyamorous!

For those interested, we talk about monetary compensation, but I will say right off the bat I can't offer a lot and I totally understand that not everyone can offer their help for free.

Deets under the read-more:

The deets:

~ I need help detecting any continuity errors, grammatical errors, and areas that would benefit from being expanded or trimmed

~ I am looking for feedback of any kind! Are the characters compelling? Is the world-building working? Are there loose ends I missed? Should it be more spicy/less spicy? Should I add another POV? Is the whole thing a big stinky pile of doodoo?!

~ I would give betas access to comment on the Google doc (the more comments the better!) and would appreciate a short review or response (kinda like a GoodReads style book response?) after you've finished reading, reflecting on what you liked and didn't like, what did or didn't make sense, etc.

~ If it ever gets published, you will be mentioned in the Acknowledgements!

About the book:

Working Title: Magic Touch

Currently weighing in at 62.5k

Blurb:

Down a cozy street of apothecaries and palm readers, is a little shop by the name of Magic Touch Spell Service. It is here that hedge witch April offers her magical services to local townies and summer tourists alike. As big-hearted as she is stubborn, April is simply trying to make it through the slow winter season. Sure, money is tight, her late mentor’s cranky Familiar won’t quit hassling her, and she is no stranger to grief, but it’s not all bad. Her boyfriend Ivan is as sweet as the honey from his apiary, the pair have plenty of friends in the small town of Clement, and even if she struggles to believe in herself, April is damn good at her job.

But when a local man dies of an unexplainable ailment, and a woman as inscrutable as she is gorgeous enters the shop in search of a witch to break a curse, April finds herself at odds with her own principles. Will she be able to protect the town that adopted her after the loss of her parents? What would her mentor Mama Zeta say if she could see how her protégé was running the shop she inherited? And is it even possible to return to ‘normal’ after disturbing the ghosts of the past?

I don't remember this townie's name, but that's okay, Baldur knows it.

He tries to make friends with Crow again, but she's his first cousin, so Smooth Talk isn't an option, and his natural charm doesn't work on her. He misses when they were BFF!
