Day 8: Death Pact
Tumblr media
Zoro never thought he had to go through with his promise. But when Sanji started acting increasingly emotionless, he knew he had to do it soon. After his hair started to change color and he attacked their Nakama one day, Zoro brought him to an island to fight him. The fight was short as if Sanji had not put much effort into it. With the final blow, his emotionless eyes suddenly became alive again.
With his dying love in his arms, Zoro was left with the question of whether he had done the wrong thing. Was Sanji actually slowly coming back, and he killed him before he could make it? Was he even emotionless, or did he imagine it? Could he say it was fine with such a sincere voice if he was emotionless? Why did Sanji comfort him while he was dying?!
It would hunt Zoro the rest of his life…
(If you look closely, you can see Zoro’s tears 😭)
Here is the prompt list with the other drawings 😊

The Blood Pact (completed)
Bucky Barnes Vampire AU x Female Reader
Reeling from a bad break-up, you're desperately trying to find a new place to live but the Brooklyn rental market is a complete nightmare. You take a chance on an intriguing newspaper ad and enquire about a room in a shared house, where you'd be living with two mysterious men. The catch is that they want something other than your money for you to pay the rent...the one thing they don't have
Tumblr media
Hello! This is a vampire AU set in present day in Brooklyn. Just a heads up that vampire Bucky is kinda an asshole in this one, not always as nice to reader as he should be - so prepare for some angst! He does soften up, though. Maybe a little enemies to lovers sprinkled in there, my fave.
Peter Quill is also reader's terrible ex, so he's not his usual charming self! Apologies if he's your fave. But Steve is very sweet and offsets the meanness somewhat, thankfully.
Warnings: Smut and sexual references, violence, detailed descriptions of vampires biting/drinking blood, swearing, insecurity and low self esteem for reader, hints at an emotionally abusive past relationship, references to past cheating, alcohol use, some bad treatment of reader by Bucky, injury/near death, potentially dubcon as it could be argued the vampire/human dynamic is on shaky ground in that sense - but reader is an enthusiastic participant. These warnings are not exhaustive so please proceed at your own risk.
In my head this Bucky is Civil War era Bucky - beefy with longer hair, but of course you are free to picture your favourite Bucky incarnation - that's the beauty of fic! Reader is fem, generally undescribed but has hair long enough to be in her face.
And yeah it’s purely self indulgent sexy vampire shit. Apologies.

𝖀𝖕 𝕴𝖓 𝕱𝖑𝖆𝖒𝖊𝖘 ~ 𝚃𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎𝚛
A/N: Hi guys! First of all, tysm for 60 followers! I never thought I'd get this far, but you guys make me so happy. I haven't posted in a while because I'm facing writer's block, but I wanted to post a teaser to show you guys what the story will be about. If you guys have requests, feel free to send them in! Also, the new exchange student's name will be hidden for now hehehe. Enjoy~
Pairings: Obey Me! Brothers x fem!MC
Summary: When did it all change? When MC showed up in Devildom, it took her 5 months to fully gain the trust of all the brothers. So naturally, when the year was over and Diavolo said the exchange program had been a success, and you could still stay if wanted, you obviously agreed. To continue the program, Diavolo decided to have another human come. The brothers were wary, but you were ecstatic! Another human! One that wasn't a shady sorcerer like Solomon! You had hoped to help the brothers warm up to them, but didn't expect them to leave you for the other human. When did it all go up in flames? You just wanted them to remember you again. You just didn't expect the other human to tell you the only way you'd be remembered was through a dusty picture on the wall after your death, in the basement, hidden away for the rest of the coming centuries. And now, the only thing that stood between you and death was the flames. Flames of the Seven Deadly Sins. And all you could remember was, When did it all go Up In Flames?

CHAPTER 6, EPISODE TWO
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
The following day was Capture the Flag, a day everyone seemed to love, filled with unsparked competitiveness and victories to win.
“You’re gonna love this. Camp-wide mock warfare, all glory to the victors,” Luke informs the siblings. You and Adrianna walked ahead of Luke and Percy as you all passed many campers practicing for a weekly game of Capture the Flag.
Your friend, Adrianna spotted a young teen out in the midst of campers. The young girl was brown-skinned, wearing braids, appearing to be the same age as Percy.
Then, it all suddenly clicked together, she was the other girl during your first night here in the infirmary.
“Annabeth’s the head counselor of the Athena cabin. She’s led our team to three straight wins, it’s been a long time since anyone won the fourth,” Your best friend stated.
“So she’s strategically smart, huh?” You asked, now intrigued.
“Like you wouldn’t believe, but being an Athena kid means you’re just blessed with intelligence.”
“She was there in the bathroom,” Percy recalls.
“Wait, what? Why was she in the bathroom with you?”
“I don’t know, Y/N, but she said she’d been waiting for it to happen,”
“Waiting for you to screw up?!” You raised an eyebrow.
“Haha, Y/N,” Percy replied dryly,
Annabeth stares at the sibling duo in the distance, maintaining her attention on Percy, while she slightly smiles at you. Smiling sweetly in response, you waved at the girl, and she refocused her attention on the practicing campers before her.
“Annabeth sees the world differently, always six steps ahead of everyone else,” Luke explains to your brother as he turns to the familiar girl.
“Whose side are you on, anyway?” Percy questions.
“Oh, hers, always, she’s my little sister,”
You stared at Percy in confusion, looking down at your brown skin and glancing back up at Luke’s skin. “Ain’t y’all got different parents on the whole? Unless it’s a non-blood type of sibling bond.”
“The second option,” Adrianna nods to you.
“Maybe I should back up,” Once Luke observed the cluelessness on the blonde boy’s face.
“Very,” You crossed your arms.
Back at the dining pavilion, the four of you sat down, breakfast already finished as Luke tells his arrival backstory to this camp.
“Before camp, I was on the road, me and a forbidden kid I met along the way. Her name was Thalia.” He smiles in remembrance.
“What’s a forbidden kid?” You whispered to your blonde friend.
“Children of the big three, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon,”
You nodded in understanding, returning your attention back to Luke.
“A long time ago, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades agreed their children were becoming too powerful, so they made a pact not to father anymore. It held for a long time, until Zeus broke that pact…until Thalia.”
“Long story short, a forbidden kid attracts trouble, monsters everywhere, it’s just a constant battle to stay alive,”
“But…forbidden kids are being more hunted than regular?”
“Yeah,” Adrianna hums.
“One day, we found this little girl hiding in an alley, Annabeth. We were worried about taking her in, exposing her to all that danger. Then we saw her fight…” The Castellan boy says, holding a small smile but it quickly disappears as he continues, “Thalia didn’t make it, but Annabeth and me…we did. We’ve been family ever since.”
“She’s been watching me since I got here. Why?”
“Someone’s high and mighty of themselves today,” You snorted.
“I’m not.” Percy deadpanned, “Everywhere I go, I always manage to see her, even catching a simple glimpse.”
“Annabeth is the strongest warrior in camp. The only way left to prove herself is to go on a quest,”
“But what does this have to do with me? What makes me so special?”
“Who told you those lies?” You chirped up.
Percy rolls his eyes at you, ignoring your remark.
“Chiron’s been promising her for years. One day, two demigods would arrive who were fated to go on a quest that even Chiron couldn’t prevent, and when that happened she could join it.”
“Every new arrival, Annabeth watches, looking for a sign they’re the one. Usually, she gives up after a day or two, but she’s still watching you,” Luke concludes, “the both of you,” he clarified, now shifting his eyes to you.
“Can you ask her to knock it off?”
“She’s not…like mentally deranged right?” You hesitantly asked.
“What, Y/N?” Adrianna asked incredulously, “No, she’s not, just observant, that’s all,”
“She could be hiding her deranged mentality from all of us, and we wouldn’t even know it. I really hope you don’t underestimate what Annabeth is capable of, she’s pretty impressive,”
“How can you make that assumption?” The Castellan boy asked.
“I just have a thing, I suppose,”
“A thing?” Adrianna was skeptical of your plain explanation.
Luke finishes off, “You’re not serious, are you?”
“Deadly, I never joke about my intuition with people, that’s why I’m mostly right.”
“Please, Y/N, focus on what’s important here,” Percy said. “Anyways, what’s the deal with Annabeth, does she think I’m special?”
“Yeah sure,” Luke tilts his head, “But what if she’s right?”
“Imagine that, if we managed to be forbidden kids too, oh that’d be absolutely ironic,” You joke, sipping on the last of your orange juice.
“Maybe you are,” Your blonde friend nudges you with a slight smirk.
“Wait…what?” You panicked, choking slightly on your drink. “I was just joking, can’t you guys take a joke in this camp?”
“Just screwing with you, Y/N,” she laughs.
Oh, okay! That’s good!
A swift noise in the air interrupts your conversation as Chiron smiles fondly.
“Heroes,” Chiron announced, glancing down at his pocket watch, “It’s time. The game begins.”
Tumblr media
For some reason, an exciting feeling ran through your veins as you prepared in the mandatory armor with Adrianna. The blonde girl had to literally hold you still, trying to contain your buzzing excitement as a smile adorned her face at your enthusiasm while she redressed you in armor for the game.
Heading to the main campgrounds alongside Adrianna as you talked on the journey there, reaching upon a river that disperses into a waterfall, each two teams standing on a riverside that separated them.
Chiron stood up, front and center as he read the game rules from an old scroll. “The first team to retrieve the opposing flag and return it across the river shall be the victor,”
You stared over at the red team, your opposing team. The very same team that Clarisse happened to be leading.
Admiring the way she walked down, dressed in battlefield armor made your heart skip multiple beats at a time as your eyes remained focused solely on her.
“Isn’t she so pretty?” You muttered dreamily to yourself. Adrianna’s ears perked up at your murmurs, causing a perplexed look on her face.
“Aren’t you losing your mind?” Percy murmured, judging Clarisse. “You sure you weren’t dropped on the head when we were younger?”
“What the fuck is she talking about?” Adrianna shakes her head, chuckling when she realizes who your reference was about, and her face instantly hardens.
“Clarisse, well at least I think,”
“Don’t even think about it, Y/N!” She grits her teeth.
You broke your attention away from Clarisse and turned to look at Adrianna.
“What?! I wasn’t even thinking of anything,”
“You’re not an airhead, Y/N, that’s your brother.”
“Oh, right,”
“Hey!” Percy took offense to that jab directed at him.
“Sorry not sorry, blondie boy!”
The young demigod boy rolled his eyes, shuffling closer to Luke.
“Anyways, back to us, you can’t be serious,”
“I’ll just distract her for some time, how hard can it be?”
“Very much so.”
“Wow, you have no faith in your best friend,”
“I do have faith in you, just not in your fighting skills…well lack thereof,”
“That’s a minor issue,”
“Minor issue?! Clarisse is the best fighter in camp, she’s the most ruthless kid of Ares here, you’d be foolish to go against her,”
“I don’t have to go against her, silly Adri,” you chuckled, “I just have to get under her, keep her occupied until we win. Easy-peasy.”
“That’s the most ridiculous plan I’ve ever heard in my life,” She closes her eyes, frustration settling on her face.
“Either way, I’m doing this with or without your support,” You quipped. “It’s a foolproof plan, really,”
“Fine,” she gave up, “Just be safe, okay! If you get hurt by her don’t say I didn’t warn you,”
“Safe is my middle name,”
“Reckless is your middle name!” She mutters under her breath.
“What was that, Adri?”
“I said reckless is your middle name so pay attention to the rules. End of discussion.”
You huff in annoyance at her demand, regardless continue to listen to Capture the Flag rules.
“As always, there will be no maiming and no killing. I trust these rules will be respected.”
Finally, Clarisse stops, settling down, right in the front, with an amazing view to politely observe her. God, you hoped you didn’t sound like a stalker when saying that.
“Any magical items you may possess are permitted as well.” You looked down at the regular pen in your hand, “Every camper who is not injured has to play.”
Luke noticed your uneasiness with your weapon, “It’s okay, let her rip,”
“Last time I ‘let her rip’ a Minotaur died by my hands,”
“I doubt you’re gonna kill a human,”
“You never know,”
“Oh, I’m certain.” He chuckles.
“Prisoners may be disarmed…but may not be bound or gagged.”
Bound or Gagged? Campers tried that before?! Are these campers into some kinky shit or something? Hold up, ain’t most of these kids under 15, nah that’s more concerning!
“I still don’t know what my job is, maybe a sword is useless to me.”
“Let the games begin,” Chiron finished. The boy beside him blows into the conch shell, initiating the start of the game, and earning a crowd yell from the red team, Clarisse included.
You were startled at the unexpected noise, “Oh hell nah, I’m not fighting them, I want everything on me to stay connected with me,” You began to unbuckle your breastplate, internally panicking at the mere thought of fighting the red team. You were definitely not losing a limb or more because of a mock game, you simply refused to! No doubt why the red team seemed so loud and ruthless, the entire Ares cabin was there, highly determined to gain glory from the losing teams.
“Leave your armor alone, Y/N,” Adrianna swatted your hand away from unbuckling your breastplate.
“Oh my god, we’re gonna die out there,” Percy groans in defeat.
“You got that right,”
The blue team stands at attention, hitting their sword against the ground and their shield, synchronizing a loud yell before divulging into their assigned locations.
Annabeth walked over to the four of you. “All right, we have 20 minutes before the second conch and game-on. You know what you’re doing?”
“Yes ma’am,” Luke smiles, motioning to leave with Adrianna.
“Hey.” Annabeth halts their movements. “Today feels like a winning kind of day to you?”
Luke contemplates answering her question, but ultimately decides to leave her in the dark, “I’ll see you on the other side.”
“Company! Move out!” Adrianna yells, instructing the other team members, pointing straight ahead with her sword.
“Kleos!” They yelled and started to jog away.
Looking at Adrianna, sending a smile your way, you returned the kind gesture, ready to follow her but a familiar voice stopped you and Percy.
“Not you sunshine, you’re with me,” Annabeth confirms, getting a move on, “You too sunshine protector,”
Sharing a confused look with your younger brother, you shrugged your shoulders nonchalantly, starting to follow after the Athena girl.
Looks like Annabeth had a pretty convincing plan, supposedly having a major plan involving the two Jackson-Matthews siblings.
Oh, this was definitely gonna be a fun adventure!
Tumblr media
Throughout the trail of the walk, Annabeth was quiet and kept up her pace, continually peering at the Jackson-Matthews siblings.
All of a sudden, Percy stumbled on a fallen tree branch, causing him to trip and fall to the ground. You stifled a laugh, stretching out a hand to help him up, and he accepted it, standing on his two feet again.
Annabeth stops, facing the two siblings with a neutral expression.
“I’m fine, thanks. But I appreciate you, you know, standing there silently,”
The young girl raises an eyebrow, turning around and continuing her walk, picking up the pace even faster. You had already caught up to her and Percy speed walks towards the two girls, getting closer.
“Listen, I– I get it, okay. You’re better at this than me, but I need this to go well today,” Percy starts, “I can’t really get into it, but I need my father to see it go well,”
“Do we really need his attention? He’s been a shit dad so far, he’s not going to change just because we asked him to,”
“Anyways…” Your brother dismisses your comment, “So, if you’re gonna expect me to know how to do something I don’t know how to do and I end up falling flat on my face, I can’t really have that right now…”
Once again, Annabeth stops walking, facing Percy, staring at the boy, her eyes drifting to his armor. She leans in, firmly buckling the breastplate for his safety as Percy keeps his eyes trained on her actions.
Yeah, you definitely see something going on between these two. Because your brother’s a dumbass, they’re probably gonna be a slowburn too. Only could be your brother’s obliviousness to get himself in this predicament.
“You still didn’t get where you two fit into all this, do you?” She questioned, looking at the two siblings.
“I may have a theory, but I could be wrong,”
“Let’s hear it, then.”
“Umm okay,” you cleared your throat, “Maybe me and my brother are more powerful than necessary, which could benefit you in a way.” You snorted, “Or maybe, we’re forbidden demigods, that monsters desperately seek to kill,”
“You know, you should listen to your sister more often, she’s smarter than you realize.”
“Hey, thanks,” you grinned before recognizing the deeper meaning behind her words, “Was that a compliment or insult?”
“A compliment,”
A second conch shell blows, echoing around the forest, catching the trio’s attention.
“Game on,” She smirks, putting a cap over her head, instantly shielding and making herself invisible.
You gasped in bewilderment at the sudden action, not believing your own eyes.
“Wait, what?”
Annabeth appears again, removing the cap from her head, and smiling down at the item, “Gift from my mom. Don’t worry you two will do great.”
“Do great? Do what great?” Percy persistently asked.
Of course, to keep your brother guessing, she placed her cap on, becoming invisible again, and walked off. The deft footsteps signified her departure, only further increasing your boredom with this game overall.
“Well, I quit,” you started unbuckling your breastplate.
Sitting on a big rock on top of a hill, the armory discarded across the dirty ground as you talked with Percy. Capture The Flag was long forgotten in your minds as you both quit mid-game.
“I can’t believe everything that happened in the last few days. This was all so crazy.”
“Should we talk about it?” Percy was hesitant. You stared at him in question but instantly knew by the spark in his eye where this conversation was heading.
You knew this talk was coming. You just didn’t expect it to be this soon. Something in you was telling you to avoid this conversation, but you had to manage through this, at least for Percy’s sake.
“What do you mean?”
“About our moms, Y/N.” He deeply sighs.
“Don’t, Percy…” you quickly dismiss him, closing your eyes momentarily, “I can’t talk about it, not right now.”
“I’m sorry, Y/N…” He breathes out.
“Can everyone please stop saying sorry, it doesn’t lessen the pain anymore. Saying sorry is just a go-to card expressing sympathy and sometimes not actually mean it. But not you, or Sally or Grover should feel obliged to say it, you were there, experienced it too. You deserve to mourn too, she is— was your mom too. If anything I should be asking you, how are you dealing with our parents’ losses?”
“Wait, are we talking about your mom or my mom?” His cluelessness brought a small smile to your face.
“Both, dummy.”
You pulled him into a hug, gripping onto his shirt, anything to ease the heavy burden in your heart. You wanted to feel safe and Percy wanted to be safe.
“Promise me something…” You start, the tears already forming in your eyes.
“Yeah, anything, sis,” he mumbles into your shirt.
“Promise me you won’t do any stupid shit to get you killed.”
“Y/N…”
“Promise me! I can’t afford to lose another family member, you’re my baby brother, I’m supposed to protect you from dangers, and can’t bear to lose you too as well.”
He didn’t want nor need a protector, in fact, he was sick of people trying to protect him. At this point, he was scared of people protecting him, all because they’d end up in danger. Or even worse, risk their lives and unfortunately take their last breath at Percy’s expense. All he needed right now was you. He didn’t want a protector but he needed his older sister, the last person of family in his life.
He just wanted his sister to be with him. Only his sister, not another demigod, just his older sister.
Percy noticed the urgency and desperation plastered on your face and nodded against you. “I promise.”
“Thank you,”
However, your sibling moment was short-lived when Percy glimpses at Clarisse walking up the hill, alongside two other Ares kids. You stood up, at their sudden presence, steadily shielding Percy away from them.
“The flag’s that way, it’s not here.” You gulped at the trio as Clarisse discarded her helmet.
“We know...” her voice was sultry, indulging more than she should have let on.
Her intense stare lingered on you as you gulped down the slight fear….and possibly something else, leaning towards fluster.
Clarisse shifted her eyes onto Percy, nothing but malicious intent in her eyes.
“Yeah glory’s fine, but revenge is more fine,” She states and slams her spear against the ground, watching it flicker on, an electric spear, her eyes sparkled in admiration.
That was kinda…no definitely hot!
“What did you do, Percy?” you glared at your brother.
He stares at you in bewilderment, “What did I do? There was a toilet, and Clarisse and her sisters were preparing to shove my head into the toilet, and the next thing I knew the water exploded at them. Which also broke the nearby bathroom stalls by the way. If anything, this is all her fault.”
“What? How does this—“
Clarisse interrupted, “It’s not about what he did or how he did it. This is about whether you two can fight to save your own asses.”
Percy’s eyes widened as he turned back at Clarisse.
“It was just a harmless thing, I- I didn’t even know I could do that.” Percy was quick to defend himself.
“And a few days ago, you didn’t know you were Poseidon’s latest mystery son.” The Ares girl rebuts back, clearly dismissing his reasoning, “Some things tend to change overnight, your powers being one of them.”
“Hold up, you mean to tell me that you’re getting revenge on my brother because he humiliated you? You threatened to shove his head into a toilet, insisting that he lied about killing the minotaur and now you’re furious that he defended himself.” you stared at her in astonishment, “Oh, that’s really sad and pathetic.”
The Ares girl huffs impatiently and blatantly ignores your whole statement, precisely focusing on her insight into the situation.
“No maiming it’s like the one rule, right?” Percy stumbles to grab his armor, and hurriedly puts it on.
“Yeah, I guess I’ll lose dessert privileges for a while.” She seems as if she is reconsidering her consequences, “I’ll live.” she concludes with a neutral expression. “Besides everyone at this camp truly knows you killed the Minotaur single-handedly, don’t let your brother get all the credit.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“You two take the punk,” Clarisse commands her two sisters, looking at Percy. Her head cranes to you with a mysterious grin as you hold strong eye contact, “The pretty girl is all mine.”
“What are you going to do?”
“You’ll see..” Clarisse darkly chuckles.
“Oh this is just great.” you shrug your shoulders, “We’re not even here for a week yet we have bullies on our asses.”
“Don’t get me confused, pretty girl, I’m not a bully. I just like to set people straight, especially the newbies, so no hard feelings right?���
“No hard feelings,” you agree, scoffing. What exactly was this girl’s thought process?
“I know you’d understand…” Sending you a half-lipped smile, “There was always something about you that I always liked.”
Right now, you have two instinctive choices, which are flight or fight. Long story short, you chose the easier way, relying on your adrenaline to save you this one time. Without much thought, you chose flight and god, you only hoped it would be your rescue.
Slowly backing away from the trio of girls stalked closer to you, shielding your brother away from the teenage girls.
“Percy,” you whisper to him, attention on the three girls unwavering in the slightest, “Get ready to run.”
“What?” He breathlessly exclaimed.
You quickly grab his arm, turn on your heel, and immediately run away in the other direction. Aiming towards the woods, the two siblings sprinted off, hoping to lose the Ares trio of trouble. In the midst of many trees and bushes, the wilderness provided you with endless possibilities but very few solutions.
How the hell are you going to get out of this mess now? You hardly know anything about this camp, much less about the vicinity of those woods. The bottom line is that you’re so fucked.
“I always loved a good hide and seek,” She speaks to herself, a playful smirk resting on her face. Oh, Clarisse was loving you already, feisty and frightful, a wicked combination. A combination that Clarisse certainly loved to cherish…or demolish, depending on the other person. But you were different, you were the first to stand up to her; you were her challenge and she was determined to put you in your place.
“Stop,” she puts a handout, halting her sisters’ movements, “We’ll give them a head start, they’ll probably need it.”
At her statement, her younger sisters chuckle in agreement, urging their boastful ego. A few seconds passed, and Clarisse’s patience was running very thin.
After a while of running away from the trio of girls, you lost Percy during it and groaned in annoyance upon realization.
You became exhausted from running, and the next best thing was to hide and pray that Clarisse wouldn’t find you or just give up and leave.
Her pride and unnatural stability wouldn’t allow you to escape from her clutches so easily. Oh, who are you kidding? Clarisse was the daughter of Ares, a literal war god who possibly killed for fun. If she was anything like her father, she possibly is, then she’d be extremely persistent and dedicated to ending this childish game, and declaring her victory. She seemed entitled to her glory, the ultimate root of her reputation at this camp.
Tired and out of breath, the adrenaline is still pumping in your blood as your eyes frantically dart everywhere for a decent hiding space. Using your last amount of energy, you stumbled towards a huge green bush and stayed in a crouched position without any movement. Just a slight movement might get your cover blown and you didn’t want that.
Soon enough, she makes her presence known and your heart sped up at the sound of her voice.
“You can run but you can’t hide forever, pretty girl.” Clarisse taunted you, light on her footsteps and she surveyed her surroundings. “I’m gonna find you eventually, so don’t make this harder for yourself and just come out.”
Her chuckle was not so much terrifying as it was hot. You rolled your eyes, internally panicking as her voice grew closer.
Truth be told, you thought of a plan. Now was the plan a brilliant or well-thought-out plan, no, it certainly was not, you weren’t secretly Athena’s daughter. Guess it has to be one of those; figuring it out along the way type of plan.
Spotting the curly-haired girl, her back was turned to you and her stealthy movements made you nervous. Would it really be that easy for you? No, but you decided to deceive the possibilities and just seized the moment in its unawareness.
Without any second thoughts, adrenaline pumped through your veins as you sprinted towards her, not stopping until you tackled her, possibly knocking the breath out of her. You both landed on the ground with a hard thud, the dirt smearing onto your clothes and you staggered to get back up.
As Clarisse is still recovering from the strong hit, you took the opportunity to straddle her, taking her by surprise as you kept her trapped underneath you. Her spear landed a few feet away from both of you, making immediate eye contact, seemingly knowing the other’s movement, as you both scurried to retrieve the spear, you beat her to it.
The spear felt weird in your hand and you analyzed the supposed weapon.
“Be careful with that,” Clarisse demands with a sharp tone.
“Relax, I’m not gonna break it or anything,” You reassured her. Catching her by surprise, you aimed the spear at her neck, pressing the cold metal there.
“Leave me and my brother alone, that’s all I ask.” you breathed heavily, inching the spear closer to her neck. The girl below you barely flinched, staring into your eyes, and lifted her neck upward, as if she was challenging you to puncture her neck.
Were Ares’ kids really this fearless? Never revealing their vulnerability, even when getting injured, they remained so cold and brutal to others. You understood why no other campers truly messed with Ares’ children, they were all so terrifying in a way. You assumed they were all psychotic, and you were beginning to believe it, maybe Clarisse’s psychotic tendencies made you attracted to her.
“Is that all you got, pretty girl?” she whispers hoarsely, gazing into your eyes, “It’s gonna take more than that to convince me.”
She had that menacing look, a dangerous fire dancing around in her eyes. Her thick eyelashes flutter at you almost innocently as her eyes pierce at yours.
You lean closer to her face, merely inches from your lips touching, discarding her spear away, hearing the metal clink against the forest floor. Clarisse felt flustered, her eyes widened as the unfamiliar butterflies swarmed around immensely in her stomach.
She began to internally panic at the new position and you were aware, reveling in some joy. For a girl who was convinced of being ruthless and cold by others, your presence made her timid, and vulnerable….an unusual feeling for her. Of course, Clarisse was overwhelmed with her emotions, something she was taught to control by her father, and she stared at you, dark-chocolate eyes twinkled, not filled with malicious intent, but rather an observant curiosity.
It came as a surprise to Clarisse, being left speechless, unable to make a snarky remark on the spot. Usually, she was the one with the last word, yet, her thoughts were all hazy by the image of you, everything regarding you. It was all about you, you, you. As always, Clarisse’s mind was consumed by other priorities such as finding ways to impress her father or practicing her fighting skills to remain the most victorious Ares kid at this camp. For once, Clarisse wasn’t upset by this revelation but more confused…or was it frustration?! Clarisse was clueless and it scared her, unaware of how to handle this situation but with your lingering gaze and gentle touches, you made it impossible for her.
So much for her being a bully. You found her reaction to this entire interaction quite entertaining, inclined to provoke her even further.
You made Clarisse La Rue blush. You made her nervous. You made her feel vulnerable, and you loved every ounce of it, you practically relished the exciting feeling.
Still, you decided to tease her further, just to see how much she’d allow herself to take.
“Would a kiss suffice?” you meekly ask, refusing to come onto her too strong. Yes, you had the upper hand but you still had morals and respect, it’s common decency. Some people really ought to learn that.
By now her eyes were as wide as saucers and her eyebrows furrowed in shock.
“W-what?”
“You heard me, La Rue,” you chuckled, settling some distance between you two. The Ares girl hated how she missed your proximity, your scent enticed her in ways beyond her imagination.
You got her, right where you wanted so now all there was to keep her there for the time being. Just like you said, a foolproof plan…as long as Clarisse doesn’t catch on. Going off purely based upon the hope that Clarisse is too enamored with you to realize the distraction from her hurting your brother.

SUMMARY OF ALL ARKANIS POVs
DAY 8 — 10/09/2024
The day starts off busy, with several players joining due to the server update.
Gabepeixe receives a book with a rescue mission, with the author of the book asking him to not go alone. The half-fish then leaves for the city looking for help.
Gabepeixe finds Choke and Bagi and tells them about what is happening, receiving a book with coordinates out of nowhere while they were talking. The trio goes to the city hall and finds Felps, Guaxinim and Wuant, explaining to the three about the rescue mission. Before they go, Wuant tells the group that he and Choke saw Bia Raux in front of Choke's house.
Arriving at the coordinates, the group falls into a large hole that has formed beneath them, falling into the entrance of a strange dungeon. During the dungeon they find a big purple chest and the author of the books reveals himself as the little green ghost with a headset. The ghost reveals that to access the chest the group will need to defeat two very strong monsters.
After a few near deaths, the group defeats the mobs and the chest is opened containing only a mysterious parchment.
The group is guided by the ghost to a place to perform a ritual for Gabepeixe make a "faithful binding pact" with the ghost (the little green ghost reveals that he chose Gabepeixe as his father because of the luxuries he can offer). The rest of the group leaves and the half-fish and the ghost are left alone at the ritual place to talk. FunBABE and MeiaUm arrive minutes later and the group starts talking (An important detail is that the mayor's employees can see the ghosts, which is precisely why they hide when an employee appears).
Before going on the rescue mission, Bagi asked Choke to be his experimental patient, which the frog accepted. Bagi then gives a bottle of contaminated water to Choke to drink, resulting in the room having an intense stomachache as predicted. Luckily Choke didn't die.
After the mission, Bagi meets with the mayor and the two talk. While they were talking, Bagi had a vision of a call between Bia and Jota (the same one we saw before Arkanis started), made available by Hugo the hacker. Jota tells Bagi that he is angry and impressed with her investigative skills, asking Bagi to investigate who wants him dead.
After the conversation, Bagi meets with Guaxinim and the duo go to Dome Island, suddenly meeting Quel there, who disappears shortly after lightning strikes her.
Meeting Quel again, the bear says that she learned more about Bia (Soon after hearing Bia talking in her head about taking Bagi and Raccoon away from "Moa's hiding place" [The place they were in was the same cave with the cauldron puzzle]). After that, the trio tries to summon Bia, succeeding after a few minutes.
Bagi starts to question Bia, asking her what relationship she had with Mayor Jota, and Bia answer the question with the following phrase: "A relationship you will never have". Bia said she wants Quel, Guaxi and Choke together as a family.
Afterwards, Bagi, Quel and Guaxi return to Valigma and discuss what they know about Moa.
[If there is anything else to add, please let us know in the comments or reblogs!
Some errors in the summary of the Day 07 have been corrected]

Note
what were the Doctor's and the Master's education like? like which Chapter schools did they go to and how long did they stay and such?
What were the Doctor and the Master's school days like?
The early lives of the Doctor and the Master contain a lot of contradictory information, so below is the path of least resistance.
🌱Early Days
The Doctor (AKA Theta) was from the Oldblood House of Lungbarrow, and the Master (AKA Koschei) was from the Newblood House of Oakdown, both of which were in the Prydonian Chapter.
In their youth, they would have both undergone a period called brainbuffing. This intensive education, supervised by robotic avatroids in their Houses, involves learning the very basics.
🎓Academy Initiation
At the age of 8, candidates for the academies take an entrance exam. Both Koschei and Theta passed these and were taken from their Houses and put in dormitories at the Prydon Academy.
Theta and Koschei met on the first day and instantly bonded, becoming fast friends. They were both tutored by Borusa, a stern yet influential mentor. They would often cause trouble together and go AWOL from classes. One excursion led to the death of a fellow student named Torvic - an event that would change Theta and Koschei's lives forever.
🌌 The Untempered Schism
Somewhere in the first term, both Theta and Koschei were taken for the Untempered Schism initiation, where they were made to stare into a gap in spacetime.
Koschei: Koschei's experience was very traumatic. He was overwhelmed by the sound of drums—a relentless beat that would haunt him for the rest of his lives. This drumbeat, coupled with the fallout from that day with Torvic began to warp his mind and soul.
Theta: Theta, on the other hand, was terrified by the Schism, and he ran away. This instinct to run would become a defining characteristic of his lives.
Once this was complete, their proper education began.
For more on grade levels/years, see the related section.
🏫 Entrance to the Time Academy
In 5th Grade at around aged 20, students take the entrance exam for the Time Academy. Both Theta and Koschei passed these. They didn't need to go anywhere else, because Prydon Academy is also the Time Academy - it's the only academy able to give out the title of Time Lord.
🧠 The Time Academy
For more on classes taught, see the related section.
The curriculum at the Time Academy was challenging and varied. From advanced temporal theory and stellar engineering to telepathic disciplines and even recreational mathematics, the Academy was designed to push young Time Lords to their limits.
Theta and Koschei were inseparable for a lot of this time, sharing a love for experimenting with forbidden sciences. They played pranks, like trapping a teacher in a time loop, and often skipped classes to engage in unsanctioned experiments. Koschei excelled at hypnotism and took pleasure in teaching Theta some of his tricks, although their uses of these skills would diverge dramatically in the future.
They were also part of an elite group known as the Deca, which included other future renegades like Ushas (who would become the Rani). The Deca engaged in activities ranging from building 'time flow analogues'—devices to disrupt each other's experiments—to forming a band called the 'Gallifrey Academy Hot Five,' where Theta played the lead perigosto stick and Koschei played the drums.
Amidst all their studies and mischief, the two made a pact to one day explore every star in the universe together. Cue the sad violin music. 🎻
🎓 Graduation
As they approached graduation, the differences in their outlooks became more obvious. Koschei saw himself as destined for greatness, driven by a desire to control and shape the universe. Theta, in contrast, was more of a dreamer, fascinated by the beauty and mystery of the universe rather than its domination. Their friendship began to fracture after an incident where Koschei broke a promise, leading Theta to realise that their paths were too different to remain friends.
According to some accounts, both Theta and Koschei graduated at around 236 years old, as part of 'The Class of the 4th Millennium' or 'the Class of '92'. While Theta supposedly passed his Time Lord qualifying exams with the lowest possible passing grade—51%—other stories suggest he was expelled before he could graduate due to his political views.
🚀 Beyond Graduation
Some accounts suggest Koschei stayed on at the Academy to get another degree, while others say he went into teaching for a while, or maybe something else. Theta, meanwhile, might have worked a few jobs before he took a TARDIS and left, depending on who you ask.

Kith’rak Ilu
Tumblr media
1. [CHARACTER INFO]
OC NAME: Ilu
OC PRONOUS: She/Her & He/Him
AUTHOR: @tunarath
2. [DIALOGUE]
1. Greeting message:
Greetings, ra’stil. Is there something you need?
2. Identify yourself:
I am Kith’rak Ilu, knight of the planes, and one of Vlaakith’s most loyal… Ha! Almost fooled myself with that one.
3. Tell me about your Creche:
Hmph.
4. I need to know how you fight:
I prefer to fight with my silver sword, but any two-handed weapon will do, if for some reason my sword is missing in action. I am also deadly proficient in psionics.
5. Can I ask a more personal question?
If you must.
6. What is your relationship with the divinity?
I place no trust in the divine. When you have lived as long as I have, and have experienced the things that I have, the gods seem less competent with each passing moment. They will ignore your cries for help, and turn on you in an instant. Remember that.
7. What do you usually do in your free time?
I assist the younger dragons in their training. It’s hard work, and not very rewarding, but what it lacks in personal fulfillment, it makes up for in excitement. I also translate various texts I gather from the material planes into tir’su when I’m feeling particularly bored.
8. What is your life goal?
To live in an age where I can retire to a small corner of the Astral and spend the rest of eternity unbothered by nosy subordinates. But for now, I will continue to fight for as long as I am needed.
9. How is your relationship with your allies?
I treat my allies with respect, so long as they understand who they are speaking to. I am not here to be anyone’s enemy. 
10. Do you have someone special in your life?
I suppose I do, even if he can be quite the irritating thorn in my side. Ki’lath and I have known each other for countless millennia, though our… intimate relationship is rather recent. Still, there is no one I trust more.
11. Say something you would never do, and why?
Ever since my beloved was murdered, I cannot bring myself to bond with another dragon. Quelsyndras was my sun, my stars, and everything in between. We met outside of Tiamat’s pact aeons ago, atop a snowy mountain. I heard of her legend, and sought her out for her aid in a battle that would have cost the lives of my entire squadron if I failed to persuade her. By some miracle, she stuck around after that, and even granted me the privilege of riding her when I became a knight… Ah, I will not bore you with my drivel any longer.
12. What is a perfect day to you?
Sitting and enjoying the company of those who are close to me. Perhaps a bit of friendly sparring as well, though sparring circles are not as appealing to me as they once were.
13. How do you celebrate a victory?
With a lot of sweets and a long, uninterrupted nap.
14. How do you deal with defeat and losses?
Lose? I do not lose.
15. How do you think you will be remembered after death?
Hm… I imagine I will be remembered for my ludicrous endeavors, such as throwing a ghaik head at Vlaakith when I sought acceptance into the Astral. I still wonder why I was allowed to keep my own head after that.

A chance conversation in Baldur's Gate leads to an unlikely visitor to Falerin and Astarion's home a year after the Netherbrain's defeat. She pleads for just one thing: that Astarion pays a visit to his family - his true family, the one that's mourned him for two centuries.
In The Weeds - Astarion decides to take in the sights of Baldur's Gate during the day, and has a nice conversation with a local.
The Invitation - A surprise visitor leads to a bit of arguing, an invitation home, and quite possibly FaerĂťn's most awkward tea.

13. god, it’s hurts that in sirius’ pov, he knows that this is the biggest breakdown reg has EVER had
14. sirius, don’t do something stupid
chapter 21:
1. 😧 THIS is how the plan is formed? sirius talking to slughorn about two victors making it out as long as they’re from the same district? wow. i was almost looking forward to the death pact, while also knowing it would be out of reg’s character (and james’) so it would be unsatisfying. i like this a lot, actually
2. dorcas leaving her home in the most ratty-ass pajamas to run four miles 😭😭 she’s still a queen to me
3. marlene’s reaction is heartbreaking, honestly
4. i love how there’s the line about dorcas caring for vanity and hodge. she cares. marlene asked her to, chapters and chapters ago. and dorcas cared. this hurts

6. !!!!! is reg about to take that hint from slughorn? does he realize james is alive?
7. HE REALIZES!!! THANK FUCKING GOD!!! THEYRE GONNA REUNITE AND HOPEFULLY HAVE NO TRAUMA FROM THIS HORRENDOUS DAY!
8. remus comparing sirius’ excitement about slughorn’s decision to a dog >>>>>>
9. “They watch with hope.” AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
10. sirius expects people to not listen to him, so he tells remus to just tune him out, but remus loves to hear sirius talk. <33333 they’re made for each other
11. sirius having worn a dress before and enjoying it >>>>>>>
12. “”Really, your body is a galaxy, and your scars are your stars."” (remus making sirius feel better about his scars) OH MY GOD!! this is gonna be my equivalent of atyd’s “you were beautiful”
13. remus’ shirt is off and sirius wants to cry over how gorgeous he is. (when i first had sex, i cried over how pretty my partner was. i do not judge sirius for this reaction)
14. the way remus gets his moony nickname in this fic, with his scars being compared to moon craters >>>>>>>>>
15. despite sirius wanting to have sex with remus, i love his decision to wait so he’s mentally in the right place for it. and i love remus’ treatment of sirius’ relationship to sex. that’s exactly what i, as an aroace spec person, needed to hear
16. i’m so fucking PISSED that the hallow took away sirius’ acceptance of pleasure. remus and i are gonna fucking take down the hallow for that
17. authors notes say that sirius is demisexual, and i am all on board. another demisexual!! me and sirius are twinning! i love this!!

Whumptober 2024 Masterlist
"Tastes of Whumptober"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You know the drill: all 31 pieces from last month gathered here in the same place! They're organized by day and by story so you can find whatever it is you're looking for. Emojis indicate story association, and no emoji means a standalone piece!
As a general rule, I write creepy whumpers with defiant whumpees! Not all drabbles follow this religiously and I only write safe for work content, but you can expect those vibes from most of what I do! Otherwise follow content warnings and tags within each post, and ask for any missed labels.
In Order
Day 1 (Search Party: failed rescue, desperation, emotional whump)
Day 2 (Amusement Park: mistaken identity, recapture, knives)
Day 3 (Fingerprints: manipulation, gaslighting, friend to whumper, acid)
Day 4 (Sensory Deprivation: lab/medical whump, torture, unconventional drugging, mild horror)
Day 5 (Sunburn: captive whump, manipulating wounds, and a healthy dose of plot)

Day 13 (Team as a Family: multiple whumpees, pat down, criminal investigation)
Day 14 (Blackmail: captive as leverage, forced to listen)
Day 15 (💸Painful Hug: continuation. held captive, escape attempt, interrogation, dislocation)
Day 16 (📌Wound Cleaning: automotive accident, resigned to death, painful wound cleaning)
Day 17 (Ruined Map: pirate whump, swordfight, rivalry)
Day 18 (Loss of Identity: multiple whumpees, emotional whump, torture, punishment)
Day 19 (💸One Way Out: continuation. multiple whumpees, betrayal)
Day 20 (Giving Permission to Die: hero & villain whump, gun violence, threats of death)
Day 21 (🛏"Let the bedsheet soak up the tears": recapture, forced to watch, creepy whumper, whumpee called "pet")
Day 22 (🛏Reopening Wounds: continuation. forced to watch, creepy whumper, bastinado)
Day 23 (Public Display: medieval whump, public humiliation, put on display)
Day 24 (Equipment Failure: hero & villain whump, fighting, unconventional weapon)
Day 25 (Stitches: mild gore, held captive, blood, grievous injury)
Day 26 (📌Breakfast Table: continuation. recovering, foreshadowing)
Day 27 (🎧Muzzled: exactly what it says on the tin)
Day 28 (🎧Exposure: continuation. public whump, forced nudity, humiliation)

My main story whose characters got just a few random drabbles this month when they fit the prompts!
Day 9 | Day 31
📌Nicolai and Payge📌
Payge's life is crumbling, due in no small part to the people he's repeatedly pushed away. One fateful night leaves him with no choice but to accept help, but he soon finds that there's nothing he can refuse anymore. (Pieces in story order!)
Day 16 | Day 26 | a gigantic time skip | Day 12 | Day 30
💸Financial Matters💸
Mari is the head accountant at an insurance firm, but the moment they notice the subtle funneling of funds they're already in more danger than they've ever known.
Day 10 | Day 15 | Day 19
🎧An Assault on the Senses🎧
A night of isolation for a captive whumpee veers quite suddenly into the unknown - helped quite handily by friendly guests and sensory restrictions.
Day 8 | Day 28 | Day 29
🛏Room For One More🛏
A happy couple, a recapture, jealousy, and torture, all in bed together. Or something like that, at least.
Day 21 | Day 22

Hunter x Hunter: Post Mortem Nen (troupe business)
hi so the troupe and post mortem nen.
i dont ... actually expect them to be utilizing post mortem nen because that's not how they work. they're content with death and dont ever think of cheating it because its never been a threat before.
but. the brainworms started crawling with this very touching sentimental idea: a pact was founded between the 8 founding members that weren't chrollo to create post mortem nen contracts.
and this is entirely copium. take it with a grain of desperation.
the founding members all know- the second the untrustworthy number four was added that the spider has one glaring weakness. once it loses its original members, which is very much a possibility especially in the early days, the troupe's entire purpose would be swayed.
what purpose? good question.
the 8 excluding chrollo make an agreement to make post mortem nen agreements so that the spider's purpose and its drive would never be forgotten. and each of them do it differently because obviously they have different abilities.
nobunaga i fully believe just has a straight up post mortem hatsu. since we've never seen it and since he's based on the samurai. i fully believe that he exclusively focused his hatsu into his time after death. it allows him to be more careless with his life and apply his knowledge of nen more recklessly. if he is killed nothing happens but if he manages to end his own life via seppuku then it activates. idk what exactly but im thinking real hard about it.
feitan i think i talked about before but Mortem Vindicta. applied to his own death, whatever he suffered from the deaths of any of those he cared about would unleash in an attack so powerful it would vaporize anyone in its vicinity. and yeah i get that part of his immense power is that he has no control over it but in post mortem nen i feel like he could slip in a clause about not harming anyone bearing the spider tattoo.
machi could just keep sewing herself up remotely. like after she 'dies' her nen will fix her body to a state of plausible resurrection but needs an additional push to be fully resuscitated. so like someone would have to restart her heart but other than that she's perfectly healthy. and it doesn't ever expire.
phinks i cant think of a good one but probably something very simple since he is an enhancer. since his ability revolves around karma and he takes heavy inspiration from egyptian mythology, i'm thinking something about earning his right to live again in death. i'll come back to this when i get a good idea but there is something there i can mess with.
shalnark would have something to do with his pins and his phone. his power i believe is sourced by his phone being one of a kind. so therefore he'd tie an ability into that. i believe his post mortem nen would involve a consciousness transfer. if someone uses his antenna on someone else and presses ok on the prompt on his phone, then a copy of his consciousness will be downloaded into the target and overridden creating a perfect replica of shalnark in a different body. however this only works if same person is the one to complete both actions. and his phone has to be undamaged and functional.
franklin is hard because i feel like he'd be the least willing to indulge in post mortem nen. i dont think he would choose himself to come back to life but rather use his nen to protect another. since he's an emitter his post mortem nen could take the form of a nen beast similar to the ones in the succession war. maybe a large sniper rifle headed beast thats an amalgamation of different limbs similar to frankenstein. it can appear with any troupe member and as soon as any target the majority of the present troupe absolutely hates comes into view they get sniped into oblivion. it never misses. it has exactly 7 shots and then after that it's gone forever.
paku is hard because i think she'd be like franklin. she doesn't want to live again if her death was deserved, so she'll choose to protect others. and i think hers is very straightforward: exactly what she did in yorknew. she would share her memories and her desires with the rest of the troupe. keep the dream alive and therefore she lives on through them. call it Memory Bomb: remembering purpose.
uvo i think would also not want to engage in post mortem nen, but he would still make the contract with himself after listening to some reason. and i think he values the quality of new members very much. so he could set a condition on his number and then the approval or disapproval of his peers. so it would go something like: if i die and the one who replaces me/takes the number 11 is not approved of or betrays the troupe, his nen will resurrect him immediately and he will have the insatiable need to find and kill the perpetrator. after that tho he chillin. back to normal.
this is wild speculation and major amounts of coping. but i will admit that this intrigues me.
im intrigued...
bonus thought of chrollo seeing that extra clause in shalnark's entry in bandit's secret and meaning to ask him but by then the phone was damaged and shalnark was dead
and chrollo remembering that clause and holding shal's phone that has a single bullet hole through the screen.
guah.

Torbek is about five years older than the last time Krew saw him and doesn't have recollection of what happened to him during this time (ep.19)
The magenta liquid in Torbeks machinery is made of Witchlight, an extremely potent Feywild drug made from Witch Cup mushroom found only in deep parts of Feydark; due how hard it is to procure only the richest can afford it, like archfey (ep.19)
Jingle Jangle can only refer to herself in third person since she made deal with Bavlorna Blightstraw because she lost sense of self when she was made to be obsessed with keys but, as far as she knows, Jingle Jangle has always been her name
The only entities that can move between Realms of Prismeer are Hags and few guides that somehow found a way to travel between; the only one known in Hither is a pincer-clawed scarecrow, Clapperclaw
Tither is ruled by Granny Nightshade

Writing Patterns
rules: share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able and see if there are any patterns!
I was tagged by @udaberriwrites 😊
⟡
when light is put away (BG3)
She did good. She knows this. 
2. kisses from sun to snow (BG3)
It’s early September, barely fall, but the coffee’s intensely autumnal: cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin, so sweet it stabs her throat as she swallows. 
3. A House Divided (BG3)
Minthara Baenre prides herself on never being surprised. She’s always eight steps ahead of everything and everyone. 
the eight steps ahead is a spider reference, btw. but because of that it's also a Homestuck reference
4. Something to Play For (BG3)
“You have an odd sense of humor,” Alfira frowns. “This really isn’t funny.”
5. Like the Green Fig Tree (BG3)
Footsteps on stone: flagstone of Moonrise, rough stone of the Shadowfell. Isobel’s eyes are bright in the moonlight. Aylin leans over the balcony, wings keeping her lazily aloft. A fig tree sways gently overhead.
6. Such Devastation (FFXIV)
“The Heart of Sabik.” The words fall from stolen lips, and the discordance is unholy. His tone, his words, all scream of Lahabrea, but the voice is not his own. It enrages her. “It is the Weapon’s core – an enigma whose surface even the vaunted scholars of ancient Allag failed to scratch.”
7. A Spider's Lyre (BG3)
She joins them after her sham of a trial at Moonrise Towers. They wipe out her captors and pull her from the very claws of death, offering her not only safe haven in their camp but a space within their ranks, and Minthara seizes the opportunity. 
8. Forging a New Pact (or Trying To, Anyway) (BG3)
You could feel it building. All the pain and pleasure of the Hells, all the lust and torment, suffusing every inch of your body until your nerves were on fire and a deep, aching need was throbbing from inside you. Mizora whispered behind you, breath hot against your ear, your hair, your neck; her body brushed yours, and you could feel that unlike your bare self, she was still fully dressed. You groaned, tried to step back and grind against her, touch her, relieve some of this dizzying, hellish need – but she danced away each time, laughing at your frustration. 
So I only have eight works on my AO3, but I also have an ancient Fanfiction dot net that's fun to look at sometimes
9. 15 Days (Once Upon a Time) 2015
Henry, her son, her baby, the Believer, falls to the floor, apple pastry tumbling from his suddenly pallid fingers. Emma screams his name, then again, and again, each time with more panic, a higher pitch.
10. 16 Tiny Nooses (Hunger Games) 2013
It really started with Mags and Annie. Naturally anyone from District 4 was predisposed to be good with knots and ropes and nets and stringy tangly things like that, and from there, knitting was just a hop, skip, and jump away.

My openers have definitely gotten shorter as I've gone on. I almost never open with dialogue, which is kind of interesting. Both times that I do are pulling from canon lines, too.
I also have a habit of not immediately using names (or using someone else's name first). This is mostly intentional, since I think it adds some fun tension.
It is fun to look at the decade old stuff and see what patterns stayed or dropped. I got better at cutting up my sentences (the Aylin fic was specifically working on this lol) to fix flow and avoid insane run-ons. I still overuse rule-of-three.
I'm tagging: @optiwashere, @roughlytwentytwofrogs, @gaeldricge, @hanktalkin :) and anyone else who might want to do it!

The take about Jiang cheng and the dogs thing was kinda strange to me. Unfortunately, children don't regulate their emotions very well. When their feelings get overwhelming, they don't act with compassion or empathy, they react to the immediate situation, especially when a new sibling is involved. It's pretty common for a kid to feel forgotten or unloved when a new sibling comes along, and when you're at that age, anger is a common reaction to things like that. I don't think him being mad about losing his dogs and then kicking Wuxian out shows sociopathy or even just a lack of empathy toward Wuxian specifically. It's just being a kid, especially being a kid who's gotten to have the attention suddenly being left out of the attention (or at least feeling that way) when a new sibling comes along.
In Jiang Cheng's case it is more like, even before Wei Wuxian arrived, he felt he was unloved, and didn't have he attention onto him (great parenting madam yu and jfm!); and of course, you are right. Being childish at an age where you are, well, a child is no issue. It's endearing.
But what I also wish to restate is that Jiang Cheng was already eight or nine years old. I do feel "empathy" is something natural to people; yet the point still isn't about what he did when he was 8 or 9 years old.
The post I'd targeted said something like Jiang Cheng "gave and gave" and Wei Wuxian "took and took." Him acting like a child would, at the age of 8 or 9, isn't a big deal. But I wished to draw more attention to the detail that his current actions (whether it be 36 years old, or 20 years old) were still similar to the actions of his younger self!
I don't wish to condemn him for being an average child; people change a lot when they grow up, but in his case, the tragedy is that he didn't.
He has never encouraged Wei Wuxian's interactions with anyone other than himself; if someone praises him, or gives him attention, he finds it an insult to his own self; he uses his fears against Wei Wuxian; instead of taking responsibility he shirks it off, letting Wei Wuxian hide the truth (about just WHAT the Wens had done for them) and bear his debts, and keep his name clear. When Wei Wuxian acts on his own he thinks it was a personal offense to him.
That's why I found that scene important - Jiang Yanli tries to catch Wei Ying but fails and he gets injured anyways (like when she had him come for JL's 100th day but he got ambushed); she tries to maintain a peace between the two and this "pact" grows thinner and thinner and completely snaps after she's gone.
Similarly, even after his death, Wei Wuxian doesn't tell Lan Wangji why he climbed that tree though he remembers. He thinks Madam Yu wasn't that cruel. The only growth he has is that this time, instead of asking to be let in, he leaves on his own, exhausting his patience.
But Jiang Cheng? Jiang Cheng felt bitter, unloved, stuck in his own misery, thinking his parents loved Wei Wuxian more than him, scaring him with dogs, fearing the repurcussions. But now? His parents are long dead. Wei Wuxian died for 13 years. Yet, he hasn't changed at all.
That's the point I wanted to make by using the parallels of that childhood event. Having no space for empathy at that age wasn't "wrong" but it's the fact he never gains it throughout his life.
Honestly, I must say it's a bit surprising that out of all the things I said in that post, this stood out to you. But if it is genuine concern, then that is all well ^^

Black Hole is the best character ever guys (part 2763)
Like it's so cool how BH's very existence is an aberration towards nature—both in terms of what he is and what his goals and personality are 👀 !!!
Black holes break the rules of our physics, for one, but they are also seen as these inherently destructive monsters in popular culture. Yet BH tries so hard to protect his friends anyway—he defies his "nature" every day. The fact that he even has friends and can compete at all is unbelievable and continues to be a struggle with his inability to get close to anyone. And then the universe (apparently?) makes awful things happen when he prevents death on top of that: the forest catching on fire, the fish eating Two alive, the zombies??? If I were BH, I think I would go crazy. It's like the entire world hates him, and it's so unfair!!!
But BH is also such an optimistic person, and I love him so much for it. He was optimistic about Pillow changing her ways back in Death PACT. He was optimistic about his team helping Tree out despite their disagreements and about Pin and Donut keeping Fanny safe in TPOT 8. He was optimistic about the zombies and the stack in TPOT 9 ("Have faith!"). Of course BH wouldn't give up death prevention so easily—his entire character is defined by him pushing through despite everything. Of course killing Tree would only make him double down even more...which leaves me so worried for when he's inevitably cut down.
Despite what BH is, and despite whatever contest or "force" working against him, he's never going to stop until the bitter end. Until it ends up destroying him.
(And it's so cool I love him I love him I love—)
