Your lungs heave painfully as you clutch at loose gravel in the fight to catch your breath. Half of the battle comes from the burning pain that rockets through your veins, begs you to collapse, to lay down and die. The other half comes from crawling on hands and knees up the rocky side of the mountain.

Your fingers are bleeding. All of you is bleeding. Where the blood stops and your skin begins is a mystery.

Grime sticks to your bloody hand as you turn it over. Your nails have been filed to nothing; down to the quick and beyond. The plate scales that once trailed up your arm were removed by any means necessary. Knives, brute force - whatever it took. Tossed into the crowd of onlookers like souvenirs to your suffering.

The plating on your face hurt the most. Exposed muscle as it was imprecisely removed. It would most likely get infected from the dust and rock. You'd much rather die up here than in front of those monsters.

"Well, well, well."

You jolt back to rest on your knees, glaring up at the imposing figure before you even as your vision swims with the motion. His armor and red eyes give him away: he's a fiend.

Just like you.

"This is my territory," he bites. If cruelty had a voice, he is not the owner, but he mimics it well enough. He smirks dangerously. "I don't like to share."

Your legs shake with effort as you shove yourself to your feet. Fire ignites along every nerve in your body. Your back is a raging inferno. Spots prick at the edges of your sight.

He tsks. "You're brave, aren't you? Standing up to me in that state."

Blood drips to the ground. It is already stained where you were hunched over before, but now it puddles on top of the saturated dirt, beading up like delicate gems. You can't tell where it's coming from any more.

Your fingers are cold. Your toes are cold. It's blazing hot up here, in the fiend's territory, but you're so cold.

The world tilts on its axis. You don't catch yourself. Your exposed jaw skids into the little pebbles and rocks. They stick into the sinewy muscle, jabbing through, down to the bone. You paw weakly at the ground. You have to get up.

"They've really done a number on you." You can hear his boots as they scrape along the dirt, but it's distant, echoey. You have to close your eyes to hear it better, too distracted by your swirling vision to focus. Your palm scrapes the dirt again as you try to push yourself up. "And yet you still fight. Are you that desperate to live?"

A shadow covers your face. You blink your eyes open, but they don't focus. They can't focus.

The silhouette of the fiend kneels down beside you. His head tilts. Sun bolts into your eye. You hiss and turn into the remaining shadows.

"You want to live so badly, but you haven't even asked to make a deal," he hums. "I could save you, you know. But what would you give me in return?"

Gods, it hurts.

It hurts.

He grabs one of your horns, what little is left of it, and lifts your head harshly from the dirt. "Do you speak?" he growls, patience wearing thin.

You're dying.

You're dying, you're dying, you're dying and-

And you can't.

Gods, you can't die.

Not at their hands.

Not of their doing.

Dirt clings to your dry lips. "Help..." It's barely a whimper. Barely coherent. You see the shadow of his head lean forward to listen even closer. "I'll..... I'm......"

He lowers your head back to the ground, softer this time. "We'll discuss payment when you wake up."

What feels like streams of cool sand glide up your body as unconsciousness claims you.

Spoilers for Pjo now I guess. Never thought I’d have to type that out.

I have a feral urge to write a fanfic from the perspective of Olympus while all the events of Pjo where going down.

Like what were the political standings like when it was Zeus vs Posiden and it looked like another war was about to break out?

What were the Gods relations with one another and what were their relationships like with the other nymphs and Saytrs and Minor Gods that live on that mountain?

I know Hades isn’t really close with anyone on Olympus but do Zeus and Posiden have any sort of relationship with their sisters?

What about Hephaestus and Ares. They weren’t on good terms in the myths but Aphrodites story is presented a lot differently in the books from traditional Greek hyms.

How is Ares and Zeus’ relationship. It must be pretty strong if Zeus doesn’t punish him for switching over to Kronos side just for the sake of starting a war when Apollo interacting with one of his descendants to give Octavian his blessings was punished as badly as him killing the cyclopses or killing Python, and overthrowing Zeus.

What about the girls? Do Athena and Artemis get along? They’ve both taken vows of chastity and are both adept in weapons and fighting (plus they both piss of Aphrodite, if that’s not something to bond over then what is)

Like I need to know how they all interact with each over, who they like and dislike and why?

I also would love to see how trauma affects their view of the world.

I mean Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades, Posiden and Zeus’ father tried to murder them when they were born so I imagine their judgment on healthy household relations is understandably skewed.

And then there’s the next generation.

Athena, Aries, Hephaestus, Artemis and Apollo.

Athena is canonically the golden child in the myths so how does that affect her?

She tried to overthrow Zeus in the myths so there’s clearly some tension there. Does she like being his favourite child or does she despise the pressure constantly placed on her to conform to an unreachable standard of perfection?

And What about Ares and Hephaestus? Hera considered them both embarrassments in different ways. Of course the infamous story of Hephaestus’ birth and how ugly he was, but then there’s Ares who is constantly in his sisters shadow despite them both being Gods of war.

It would’ve shamed Hera in those times to have a son who looses out to the bastard child of one of Zeus flings, but to have two sons both be subpar compared to the kids Zeus had with other woman?

That’s gotta create some rivalry for daddy’s favourite, and maybe a silent understanding between Ares and his brother.

And then we have the twins. Apollo who looking at all his attributes is definitely suffering from some sort of burnout as well as his father constantly punishing him with lightning probably some resentment there and maybe even some towards Artemis.

As far as we know she’s never been in trouble with Zeus despite ‘meddling in mortal affairs’ by helping Leo and Piper. Again maybe something to do with favouritism Zeus seems very partial to the woman in his family. Plus she doesn’t spend a lot of time on Olympus, maybe she’s as silently resentful as Apollo.

Though we see her worrying for him in blood of Olympus and he breaks the ancient ‘no meddling’ laws in Titans curse in order to help save her. So they’re clearly close, but I don’t think she knows about the lightning thing. I’m not sure if Zeus punishes just Apollo with it, though we hear no mention of any of the other gods experiencing physical abuse from their father.

Then we have the youngest and most recent generation (I’m splitting them into their own category cause they’re the only major gods to be birthed by humans)

Dionysus and Hermes.

We see in sea of monsters that Hermes doesn’t seem to really find joy in his position as a god anymore, maybe the stuff he did used to be fun but it’s gotten monotonous, even stressful with how much stuff he has to do and with no one to help.

Honestly maybe that’s a bonding experience? Him and Apollo silently lamenting about how exhausted they are by all their jobs?

And Dionysus. He seems to be seen as some sort of perpetual joke by Zeus, at least in the books. I mean why else give such a long winded and honestly disproportional response for such a minor action.

I mean even Apollos punishment (though being a lot worse) only lasted a couple months.

And the thing I haven’t even touched on with Hermes and Dionysus being from human descent. Do they miss their old lives?

Hermes had only been born a couple days before he was sent to Olympus, but still, it wasn’t as though he could bring his mother with him. Does he miss her? Or see her as some stranger he left behind. Did he mourn her death? Did Dionysus mourn his own mother. Was he angry with Zeus when he learnt his own father was the reason for her death? If he did what could he do about it?

And Dionysus spent years in the human realm (depending on which myths you look at) did he have friends? Lovers? How did he feel when they died and he continued to live on?

The Gods are left relatively untouched despite being such a large part of the series and it’s events, even ToA doesn’t give us a lot more than what audience already knew from myths and reading previous books.

They’re so intriguing to me because there’s something so human about their actions despite how vehemently they’d probably claim against it. In some ways they’re almost identical to people and it makes me slightly insane that we’ll never get to know everything about them all and the lives they led before the events of the series in modern New York.

The Journey Masterlist

Summary: Pero is hired to take a rich man’s daughter across The Great Mountains to marry a man she’s only met once but things don’t go according to plan.

Pairing: Pero Tovar x F!Reader

Rating: 18+ series

Warnings: Smut, violence, descriptions of injuries and scars, mentions of arranged marriage and underage marriage, mentions of domestic abuse and intentions of sexual assault. POV changes. Inaccuracies for the time period (but movies are never right either). Keep in mind this is not the full warning list (I’m choosing to avoid some plot spoilers) but I think I covered the worst triggers. Let me know if I’m missing something important.

Author’s Note: Took hours of debating to figure out the Pedro character I’d use for this fic (I definitely wanted to have him be a character I hadn’t written for yet). I already have another fanfic going, but I need to stew on that last chapter of Sweet Summer for a bit, and I mentioned to @frannyzooey​ that I love the use of thunderstorms in romantic stories (she encouraged me to write it), so here we are. Also, you really don’t need to watch The Great Wall to read this, I promise. I don’t really reference it much. He faced some monsters in the past, that’s all you need to know.

Running through the woods. Her heart was pounding as the snow crunched under her feet. The ringing in her ear became overwhelming as she collapsed to the ground crawling. Before her eyes became heavy. "It's ok.. I'll help you.."

☆⋆｡𖦹°‧★☆⋆｡𖦹°‧★☆⋆｡𖦹°‧★☆⋆｡𖦹°‧★☆⋆｡𖦹°‧★☆⋆｡

It was a normal day for you. Wake up, go outside and chop wood, grab water from the lake, take a shower and chop yourself some wood, go down to the local village, sell the wood, and go back home with some extra wood. But this time it felt off. Every Time you went outside you felt..

Watched. Like someone's eyes were on you. Walking up the mountain the sun setting as the sound of crunchy snow was under your feet. The sun being gone you felt uneasy, noises all around you that you could feel. As you made it back home you set the wood down outside before feeling something behind you.

You quickly turned around fumbling to the ground as you looked around quickly seeing nothing. Your breathing becomes uneven quickly. Something felt awful. But you couldn't tell what it was. You felt something. It wasn't familiar feeling–

You coughed as you felt someone grab you by the neck. Your legs are swinging, kicking. Trying to get this person away from you. "You're quite the beauty.." It sounded like a man. His hands were cold. Like the snow.

You struggled as he dropped you to the ground. Holding your neck and breathing you felt something poke you "Let's see if this will finally work" the male said. You began to shake uncontrollably as you tried to move.

"Now that I've given you so much of my blood, let's see if you can actually survive on just lust," the man said. He was speaking nonsense. What does he mean? Is he insane? You thought to yourself as you scurried away

You hurried crawling, trying to get away from this monster. Feeling whatever he inserted inside you coursing through your veins. You got on your feet quickly looking at the man. Scarlett red eyes looked back at you piercing through your body. You shook as you turned around Running

That's how you got into this situation. Laying on the cold snow as someone was in front of yelling at that monster.

Your body went limp. Your body felt weak. But strong at the same time. You tried to open your eyes one last time to see a red head crouching next to you. Your breathing was heavy as he looked back at you.

The monster being gone. "Are you ok?" He quickly asked as he stood next to your side. You cried as you began to yell "Monster! He! Did this to me!" You yelled. Your voice is raspy and dry. you felt your body become hot.

"What's your name..?" He asked as he petted your arm "..Y-Y/n" you said softly as your eyes got heavy and he held onto you. "It's okay. I'll help you.." he said as you closed your eyes. Feeling your heart thump faster as you drifted into slumber

You slowly awaken to a room. You looked around, seeing an empty room. 'Why were you here?' 'What is this place?' 'Where is your home?' 'Why is it so dark?' 'Why is my head pounding?'. You scurry around before feeling footsteps come closer to the room you were in. You back into a corner quickly, panicking; only to see the same red-haired boy that saved you.

"It's okay. I come in peace" he said softly. Like a whisper. His voice sounded so warm and fuzzy. So comforting. He slowly walked over to you, kneeling down in front of you. You hugged your knees

"hey.. it's ok.." he said as he reached out to you. His voice makes you feel fuzzy and calm. He sounded so sweet.... You slowly looked at him up and down. You unfolded your legs and crawled over to his lap sitting in his arms

"Can you still speak..?" He said. You nodded your head "mmhn" you hummed as he held you in his arms. He's different.. when you touched his arm.. you felt warmth, like pure warmth. He automatically made you feel safe.

With you only touching his arms. You opened your mouth to speak but decided to stay quiet. "My name is Tanjiro Kamado.." he started off with as he petted your head "I'm part of the demon slayer corps.." you've heard of that before

You never really got more information than they protect humans from 'Demons' which you believed in..

You nodded in understanding "And from your scent.. You're also a demon" he said as he looked at you and you looked at him wide-eyed and in disbelief. Your bottom lip shivered as you felt tears well in your eyes

'No no no..' You thought to yourself. A demon..? How could you..? Was that what that monster meant? For you to be a demon. . .?

"But I won't hurt you..!" He said quickly to calm you down. You nodded as you buried your face in his chest. You let out quiet sniffles as he rubbed your back to calm you down

"Don't worry. Your scent is different. You won't hurt anyone.. you're- you're and innocent person" he smiled as you slowly stopped crying and looked up at him

"You're safe along as you're with me.." he said as he looked down at you. You nodded as you closed your eyes. You are feeling light headed. You felt as he laid you down in the same corner away from the window as he stood up. You watched as he left, giving you a goodnight. You smiled softly as you drifted to sleep

Y/n stood in front of a box. Tanjiro next to you. She looked at him with a confused blank expression as she looked back at the box. "D-Don't worry! She's shy!" He tapped in the box again "Nezuko! It's someone I want you to meet! A new friend" he softly spoke. The door to the brown box opened slowly as a tiny girl with black hair popped her head out of the box

Y/N had stars twinkle in her eyes as she saw the tiny girl. Tanjiro’s sister. Oo! It was so cute! Y/n quickly hugged Nezuko as the small girl had a confused look on her face. Y/n looked quickly putting Nezuko down. Y/n let out her hand for Nezuko to shake. Y/n saw her look at Tanjiro, him giving her a nod as she crawled on Y/n's lap. She smiled softly as she petted the smaller girl's head.

“She’s very pretty..” She said softly, finally opening her mouth. Tanjiro smiled as he nodded. He opened his mouth to ask her the next question. “Do you think you can shrink like her..?” he asked, and you looked at him with a confused face. Nezuko looked up at her older brother. “Can you show her what I mean..?” he asked. Nezuko looked at her brother and nodded as she moved away from Y/n's lap quickly

She let her arms open out as she shrunk smaller than what she was before. Now she was like the size of your leg! Y/N looked at Tanjiro. She looked back at Nezuko before standing up and trying her best. She shut her eyes and felt her legs shorten as she quickly opened her eyes again to see she was the size of nezuko. She ran to nezuko, hugging her tightly as nezuko hugged her back. Tanjiro clapped his hands and laughed softly. “Ok, now, let's get you two in the box” he said as he opened the box wide. Nezuko held onto my hand and she guided me to the box. Tanjiro grabbed an extra bamboo muzzle just like Nezuko handed it to her. y/n put it on like nezuko and clapped her hands together “Good girl!” Tanjiro said, praising her. She felt her stomach twist as he closed the box. She turned to see Nezuko nuzzling into her. Y/N a smile crept onto her face as she closed her eyes and slept with Nezuko

Y/N shook as she saw the scene before her. Tanjiro was fighting a demon as Nezuko was fighting another. Lady Tamayo was helping Yushiro as his top head was missing. She was scared. Being a coward! But she didn't know what to do- did she move? Should she stay still? Before she could get up Lady Tamayo grabbed her hand softly as she led her downstairs. She sat down and waited for Tanjiro as Nezuko ran around in a playful mood. She smiled at Nezuko as she played with Nezuko. Playing tag.

She saw Tanjiro and walked to him, hugging him tightly. Nezuko booped her on her back and Y/n chased after her.

She heard Yushiro speak up to Tanjiro. "Why is she so quiet.. you've said she has talked to you, correct?" He asked Tanjiro. Tanjiro looked at me

"She just.. stays quiet. Around Me and Nezuko she talks but I guess she just talks to the ones she's close to.." he said as he watched me and Nezuko run is circles

Tyshuro hummed in understanding as he crossed his arms. "Both of these Demons seem special.." Lady Tamayo. Tanjiro looked at her in confusion

"What do you mean..?" He asked as he looked at Lady Tamayo. "Nezuko is your sister correct?" She asked again. Tanjiro nodded "But Y/n is not?" He nodded again. "So it is impossible for them to be the same" Yushiro said quickly "She didn't sleep as long as your sister. If she doesn't drink blood. Then how can she replenish herself?" Yushiro finished

Tanjiro looked at Y/N and Nezuko, Nezuko under Y/N. Y/N playing with Nezuko's hair

"I.. really don't know.." he said looking back at Lady Tamayo and Yushiro

"But I'm sure I'll figure it out," He said as she got up. Lady Tamayo nodded. She opened her mouth and offered Tanjiro. "What if. I will take Y/N and Nezuko with us..?" She said, She continued trying to maybe convince Tanjiro to let her take Y/N and Nezuko. Y/N looked at them. She stood up with Nezuko's hand in hers, taking her over to Tanjiro. They stood next to Tanjiro side by side grabbing onto his hands and squeezing it slightly in a comforting way

"Thank you, Ms Tamayo. But they both will be staying with me…" he started off "Nothing is never gonna break us apart" he said as he looked at her and Nezuko. Ms Tamayo smiled softly as Tanjiro told them to run in the box. Y/N and Nezuko felt him pick them up in the box. As he began to walk. She felt Nezuko fall asleep on her. She stayed awake listening to Tanjiro speak. She smiled softly as she closed her eyes and fell asleep

Out of this World (ootw): Ships: Roman x Virgil, Logan x Remus, Patton x Janus In a small desert town, a UFO has landed.

Knife to Meet You (ktmy): Ships: Roman x Virgil, one sided Virgil x Patton, one sided Patton x Logan, Remus x Janus x Logan Four years ago, a steady but concerning statistic rose. Murders.

Ghost of You: Ships: Logan x Virgil, Remus x Patton, Roman x Janus Karma comes in many different forms, sometimes it is even passed down.

Will they survive?

Back Burner:

Stories in this section are on hold and may be rewritten

Easter Eggs and Epilogues (eeae): Having become deities and gaining access to the multiverse, our favorite boys now witness other universes and guide them to the afterlife as they discover what it means to no longer be human and navigate through issues they had ignored as new issues erupt around them. Fans of my stories might find this infrequent epilogue mini series a nice read. Especially if they have read my sanders sides au Of Monsters and Men, its sequel Neither Deity nor Man, and the triquel Neither Gone nor Forgotten, as these characters might have little easter egg appearances in some of my other works. This does contain spoilers to my other works, so proceed with caution. Due to the nature of this mini series it will have extremely infrequent updates due to it being full of epilogues of specific stories.*^

Coming Soon:

Years of glimpsing a mysterious figure. A strange invitation leads four strangers to the palace. The King has waited long enough.

Put the Rom in RomCom (PtRiRC): Ships: Roman x Logan, Remus x Virgil, Patton x Janus Sometimes, you stumble into something unplanned for, unexpected. It can be life changing in the most unexpected ways. Changing who you are, what you are, or even just your plans. Three different people stumble into these changes unexpectedly and love is in the air.

More Than Blood (MTB): Ships: Patton x Logan x Janus Son of a Bitch sequel, They say family is more than blood. What happens when the twins and Virgil's biological parents come back into the picture?

[silkenbutterfly7]

Also just discovered Cleopatrick and they are just sucking me in, which I didn’t really expect but now I find myself actually enjoying their small-town America anger.

Last thing I saw was a silly cat video – I have some Instagram favorite accounts.

Last Movie - Mad Max Fury Road. I didn’t have time to see Furiosa yet, but I’m planning to catch it on when it’s on Netflix maybe. Catching up with The Witcher. Rewatched The 13th Warrior (on DVD because it’s not available otherwise.)Also Blade Runner 2049 (Love & Joy.)  I haven’t seen Dune even though I’m a huge fan and have read all the books repeatedly, because once I see the movies, well then my head canon will be taken over and I won’t be able to escape, and there’s some actual life stuff I have to get done before I immerse myself in Dune 1 & 2.  Yes, I am self-flagellating about this as I want but I can’t let myself want too much.

(oooh, I haven’t heard of Mad God before, so now I looked it up and it’s stop motion animation, so now I’m interested.)

Currently Reading:   I just picked up Sense & Sensibility and Sea Monsters. (love the horror cross-over.) Previously I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which was very funny and ridiculous, yet full of homage to dear Jane. The Wager is on my list also. I’m trying to get it from the library. Bing read obsessively fast, save $.

Sweet, Spicy or Savory?  Difficult to answer.  I tend to munch some potato chips and then eat dark chocolate. But I have those spicy Buldak noodles that were just recalled in Denmark for being too painfully spicy on my counter food pile (people, just don’t put ALL the spice packet in the noodles and you will be just fine, really.)

Relationship:  Separated and never getting back together again. Last thread to untangle this month is the health insurance plan. Love has the power to lift us up to the glorious heavens but also to crush like the abyssal ocean’s depths of the Mariana Trench (that’s how fathomlessly deep the lows felt.) Still believe in the inherent goodness of people.

Current Obsession: Came late to watching The Terror (just a few months ago) and now it’s burning holes in my brain. Likes are historical fashion (saving way too many screenshots), stuffed animals and dolls (all kinds, I legit have reference books), history, classics, gothic horror, science fiction, maybe throw some vampires in here too, cats, sewing, crocheting, some knitting (but for the mind-calming repetition.) I’ve been following insta accounts on tiny crochet and just got some DMC thread and the smallest hooks, but I haven’t started yet. My Dad loved naval history and was a British history enthusiast, so I absorbed that and fell right into The Terror, admiring the accuracy of the costumes and the ships’ details – the show runners did such an excellent recreation.

Last Googled: the coordinates of Hawaii (The Expedition’s official destination) and many, many maps on the Northwest Passage (printed some out to color with pencils just for fun), fell down the rabbit hole of how a Fox Dipping Needle magnetic device works, and reading polar and Antarctic adventure blogs posted by very hardy, possibly crazed by hubris, modern day explorers. (One was actually recreating the experience of man hauling sledges across part of King William Island just to see if they could do it – spoiler, Yes, but they managed to avoid a polar bear by luck and nearly died from exhaustion because it was SOOO much harder than they thought, and their tents and clothes became frost laden.)

Currently Working On:  IRL – health insurance & getting my car fixed, feeling out my next side gig (tutoring again?) while at my day job I try to up my skillset as the jobs have been thinning out and I suspect my boss will be retiring soon. Besides adulting, happily reading my way through a sheer mountain of Terror fanfic on A03 and rolling characters and scenarios around in my head because those cold boys are still stuck out in the ice and suffering – I’m not willing to let them die of scurvy and starvation yet. Also, easily distracted by other shiny posts that refer to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, anime art, silly cats, Horatio Hornblower (I saw those episodes on public tv years ago and so happy that fandom exists), and Captain & Commander. (Was recently asked if I knew: “What’s the movie with those boys on a boat and the Captain and the cannon balls?"

nine people i want to get to know better!!

i was tagged by the lovely @clandestinegardenias!! thank you!

Last Song: I-E-A-I-A-I-O by System of a Down! i've been branching out of my heavy metal rut of the last 6 months, but System of a Down still slaps really hard.

Favorite Color: hmmmm i really like lush jewel tones, so i think i have to go with like a deep burgundy right now, but the green of spring vegetation in full sun is a very, very close second

Currently Watching: well. i'm in the middle of a The Terror rewatch right now (again....) but the literal last thing I just watched was the IndyCar Grand Prix in Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, CA. but in terms of new shows, i'm not watching new stuff rn.

Last Movie: Mad God. what a fucking trip that film is. jesus. stop-motion horror film. visually gorgeous. disgusting. it was my second time watching it, and it was again really gross and not super linear and 100% up my alley. it was so bizarre, but i am CAPTIVATED by the music (since there is no dialogue; it's only music and sfx) and i want to write a paper on it so so sososo badly.

Currently Reading: currently juggling Captain Crozier: Last Man Standing, Les Miserables, and The Wager! They're all good in their own respects, but very very different from one another, as well. The Crozier bio is a little bit lighter than I was expecting, The Wager more narrative than I was expecting, and Les Mis thus far has just been slow, but i'm in the early pages for everything but the Crozier biography, so i'm still getting used to them. Also I started Persuasion by Jane Austen last month, but haven't gotten very far yet.

Sweet, Spicy, or Savory? they all have their place, but i have such a bad sweet tooth. it trumps almost everything for me. i love sugar.

Relationship: single! i've been single since like.... my sophomore year of high school? and i'm halfway through my master's now, so it's been.... i think i'll have been single for a decade exactly this year, on my birthday. but also i'm extremely aromantic so. that does contribute to that, lmao

Current Obsession: oh it's definitely The Terror. Very much so. but IndyCar is also a quiet sports obsession of mine and i am starting to get In The Weeds for it this year. i deliberately chose to pay more attention after the 500 this year, but i've been meaning to follow the full season for a few years now, and it's been a blast! really nice to watch tbh. it's fascinating stuff, and one of the only sports i can really, truly sink my mental teeth into. also i have been crocheting like mad recently, bc it keeps me entertained and Makes Things!

Last Googled: tire strategy and regulations in IndyCar races, the differences in those regulations between oval and road courses, and the literal difference in composition between alternate and primary tires. very cool stuff. to me, at least, lmao

Currently Working On: jotting down ideas for the next two terror fics i want to work on/sketching out the plots and adaptations for both of them, getting fully trained at my job, and like 3 separate crochet projects. i have. a very scattered brain. also mentally gearing up for my second year of my master's, which is frightening, considering that i have to Write A Thesis soon lmao

oh lordt i don't know if i have 9 people to tag, but i'll tag a few: @imwritesometimes, @jbloopers, @sweetenby, @silkenbutterfly7 - if any of you want to participate, please do!

The Witch of Westeros

PROLOGUE - see you on the other side

-×-

disclaimer:

I don't own the Scarlet Witch and her storyline, credits to Marvel and Stan Lee.

gif not mine!! got it from pinterest!

this fanfic doesn't follow the plot of the series of HOTD nor it's books. I simply made it up. major spoilers for doctor strange: multiverse of madness. 

note:

tbh, this is my first time ever writing a story in 2nd pov so if it sucks, I'm sorry😭

anyway, It's finally here! sorry for the long wait, hope you enjoy!!

warnings:

mention of blood, stabbing, heads cut off, turning things to ashes. I think that's all, if there's anything I missed out, don't be afraid tell me. !! NOT EDITED !!

-×-

The sound of roaring and explosion mixed with the smell of fire, gunpowder, and the distinct, metallic tang of blood was the only thing you can comprehend at this moment. Your eyes darted from your companions to the demons you were fighting. The fight would’ve ended ages ago if you didn’t know there were thousands—no, millions, of them. Not to mention they can regenerate making your head hurt more than it already did. 

Saving the multiverse became a job—a responsibility, more likely— for not only you but for Dr. Strange and surprisingly, Loki. It’s been months, years, or perhaps it has been decades since you have been saving the multiverse. Time has been a bit complicated for you, per se.

You, The Master of Mystic Arts, and the God of Mischief traveled to countless realities, defeating enemies such as demons, monsters, or even evil variants of yourselves. 

Going through infinite dimensions and saving the other realities was the least idea you thought you would be doing in the future when you first joined the Avengers. Yet here you were, fighting your way through a crowd of merciless nightmarish demonic creatures who can regenerate. Your mission was to retrieve a necklace that holds much power and once belonged to a god and was now passed down to its descendants. It was stored inside the temple on the very top of the mountain that the demonic creatures were guarding. You’re meant to grab it, bring it back to the owner before anyone else can use it to their advantage, and leave without a hassle. 

“Anyone care to help me here?” Dr. Strange yelled from a few miles away. He created a portal, making the group of demons from his fall down and he snapped the portal shut, cutting the heads off. 

“Classic.” Loki chuckled, witnessing the action as he move to stab the demon that jumped on him, grimacing when its blood hit his face. 

You smirked, blasting ten demonic creatures away from you, turning them to ashes as they tried attacking you again. “I don’t think you need anymore help from there, Stephen.” you teased and the said man groaned when another group started hitting him.

“Damn demons. Can’t you do your thing and kill them all, Wanda?” Dr. Strange asked. 

“I can, but they keep coming back no matter what.” You told them. 

Loki muttered under his breath before sharing his thoughts. “They just keep coming back no matter how many times we kill them. It’s impossible for this to happen.”

“Loki, we are in a different reality. I don’t think there is anything more impossible than this.” You retorted, flicking your wrist and lifting one demon and throwing it to the approaching group. 

“What I mean is, there’s a possibility that something or perhaps, someone is summoning them.” Loki proclaimed his theory.

“A distraction.” You sighed out in realization, your eyes widening as you looked around for any sign of different figures in the crowd. A figure walked by miles away from you guys. They were wearing a black hood over their head, covering their face. 

They must’ve felt your gaze and turn to look at you, their purple strange eyes meeting yours before they glared and ran away. 

“Stay here! I’ll handle this.” You shouted to them, lifting yourself with your magic and flying toward where the figure went, ignoring the yells of protest of your two friends. 

You flew away from the crowd of creatures and landed in front of the small cottage you saw them run into, placing a shield behind you so that they cannot attack you from behind. Your eyes hardened seeing it all dark with no trace of light anywhere. Hesitantly, you stepped in, summoning your magic to see a little clearer and to be ready to fight if something or someone attacks you. 

The sound of footsteps approaching behind you alarmed you and you turn around, ready to blast your magic to them until you saw their faces when they got closer.

“Loki! Stephen!” You gasped in surprised, internally sighing in relief when you saw them before frowning. “What are you doing here? I thought I told you I will handle this.” you scolded.

“We can’t just leave you to walk in here with no back ups.” Loki reasoned and Dr. Strange nodded beside him. 

There was no point in fighting so you just nodded and lead the way deeper into the dark cottage that seems to be bigger on the inside. As you walked in silence with all your guard up, a clashing sound was heard behind you, alarming the three of you.

“He’s right, Wanda. We know you can handle yourself but we need to make sure you’re safe.” Stephen said.

But before any of you could say a word, a figure stepped in front of you and pressed two fingers on your temples making you freeze in place.

You could hear Loki and Stephen yelling behind you, and they seem like they were struggling too but you can’t focus on them or anything but the pain you felt on your mind that’s spreading through your whole body. They leaned down and whisper in your ear before letting you go. You tried fighting it and summoning your magic but it was impossible to move. A portal started growing from under your feet and before you could grab into anything, you fell down fast in an unknown, perhaps never ending, hole. 

But you remembered what they had whispered in your ear. 

“Видимо се на другој страни.”

See you on the other side.

Sauron x Galadriel Fanfic Recs

Don’t judge me, I’m weak for villain/heroine ships ;A; 

Spoilers for Ring of Powers below xx

shining like a fiery beacon by The_Duchess_of_Fiction

Summary: Set after the Finale. 

Galadriel has left Eregion, has ran as far from the Southlands as the map allows. It was fitting that she wanders to where her search for her enemy (her almost) had last ended, on the opposite end of this Middle Earth in the northern wasteland.

She doesn’t remain alone in her exile for long.title from lana del rey’s gods and monsters.

a fair form by properhaunt

Summary: There was a time when, with his speech, he could do and undo things as he pleased. He could cast his eyes onto whatever he liked—always the beholder, never held. He could fashion anything with only his mind and make it true, and terrible.

Or: Galadriel and Halbrand in Eregion.

a dream of spring (whisper of winter) by Potterology

Summary: “I would make you a queen,” he answers. Voice pleading. Familiar. Gentle. It is a voice she has listened to in the darkness, a voice she longed to hear in the dusted ash of an erupted mountain. It is a voice she thought would lead the realms of Men into new power. Men are fickle, perhaps they will yet be ruled by this rot. “Together we can save this Middle-Earth.”

She controls a flinch, ignores a tear which falls unbidden from the corner of an eye. It is only pity, she thinks. For him, for Halbrand, for what could have been. For the Southlands and their smallfolk and their desperation. It is only pity, she swears, it is not grief.

A slight extension to the scene in Galadriel's mind.

after the end of it all by EllieCarina

Summary: After the end of it all, ages after, Galadriel is called to Aman where a prisoner dwells in the shadows. A prisoner whose trial is at last approaching. And he will talk to one being alone:

Galadriel.(Here be Spoilers... beware!)

TWO RINGS by Magnolie

Summary: My take on how Halbrand/Sauron had imagined the proposal to go - before she found out herself.

that i may rise and stand, o'erthrow me by mortaltemples

Summary: The line between lies and truth is fine indeed.No one knows that better than Halbrand.

“I cannot help but be curious…what happens,” he sneered, “When she finds out? Do you truly believe that the golden princess of the Noldor will forgive you? Do you think she will grant you absolution?” The air was silent until --

“Do you truly believe that she will want you?”

A God of Hyperdeath introspection for my weird and spicy fanfic, Monster in the Mountain, if you haven't reached chapter 23 and don't want to be spoiled, don't read further!

Asriel finds himself with the power of a god again and spends so many timelines doing literally whatever the hell he wants.

There are more outfits and forms that he takes on, but these in particular, are the ones that he stuck with the longest.

Starting on the left...

🖤First form, once Asriel got his powers back, he went with what he knew best, he was nostalgic for it in a way, after erasing everyone's memories of the monsters and making sure Frisk was safe, he was excited to do whatever he wanted and so very happy to have a body again and keep it for as long as he pleased.

-

🖤Second form, after doing whatever he pleased, he quickly realized that there were humans that were possibly much worse than he could have ever conceived, and it made him disenchanted with humanity and he started to do things to help the better side of humanity but knew would make the worse side furious with him, a rebellion... it didn't end well for him. Still, he kept at it, fighting against the worse side of humanity for a few timelines.

However, around this period is when he discovers that he has feelings for Frisk, he also discovers that he's not asexual, it baffles him and he really doesn't know what to do about it, so he ignores these feelings for a very long time, repressing that part of himself.

-

🖤Third form, after getting tired of being killed and destroyed repeatedly, Asriel decides to retreat into hiding for a while, he then looks to the monster souls for advice, and surprisingly decides to listen to Alphys and Mettaton, and for an entire decade, all he did was watch anime and explore his more creative side, and even his feminine side, and what resulted was an alter ego anime villain rockstar, literally hypnotizing humans with the power of his voice, making everyone love him, and at the ultimate height of his popularity, he threw an enormous concert, singing humanity to death as he summoned down a huge meteor to wipe them all out. Because he wasn't able to convince Frisk to come with him to be safe, it didn't end the way he wanted. (Inspired by own idea and Here4Fanfiction's addition to the idea)

-

🖤Fourth form, Asriel's most beautiful and perfect form is pure deception because, in this timeline... he does the most damage, taking things a step further and becoming King God of Earth after forcibly solving world hunger and homelessness/poverty, but of course, humanity refused to fall into his power easily, causing several giant wars against him, but he was able to fight back with an army of brainwashed humans (and humans who genuinely loved what he was doing, they didn't need to be brainwashed) He soon realized he badly screwed up when he one day received Frisk as a human sacrifce. SO HE RESET AND TRIED IT AGAIN! But made sure Frisk was safe, but the only way he could make sure that they stayed perfectly safe was to add them to the brainwashed army, and this also, unfortunately, included them to be forced to learn how to use a gun and use it against other people-(revealing their hidden talent for always hitting the mark)- years later when Frisk is settled down, married and 39, he hires them as his 'personal assistant' (but basically a secretary) moving them to his big castle on top of Mt.Ebott.

Asriel doesn't really get to 'bond' with them like he would like mainly due to Frisk being brainwashed and believing he could do no wrong, Asriel is also silently jealous because of Frisk's happy marriage, still, it's...nice for a short time, up until another war was waged against him, beginning with Frisk getting assassinated during their break time, it kind of broke him for a while. (This one was largely inspired by one of Here4Fanfiction's ideas he shared with me) (also this)

-

🖤Fifth form, after screwing up so bad, Asriel decided to go back into hiding, full of guilt and self-hatred for his past decisions as King God, he felt more comfortable being in any form but his real one, traveling the world as any animal (anything except human) he wanted... He did this for a long time over many timelines, even visiting Frisk a few times to steer them out of the way of dangerous/traumatic situations... I chose to show his cat form here as a representation because it was one of his favorites to inhabit, it was also the one Frisk seemed to like the most.

-

🖤Sixth/seventh form, still staying out of the way, feeling lonelier and more depressed than ever before- but still full of self-hatred, he creates his darkest but laziest robe to date, but nostalgic for the one he had in his second form, having barely any interest in keeping his looks up since no one is watching. And no one is looking because he only stays inside the mountain, only leaving to go on extended trips to outer space (sixth form) where he would dissociate and hurt himself, literally ripping himself apart, and when he was sick of space he would go back to the mountain, and when he was sick of the mountain, he'd go back to space, it was a vicious cycle, depression can do that.

The longest time he spent in space was three years.

Then finally, he got sick and miserable of being alone and hatched the idea to keep Frisk long-term, he wasn't sure it was going to work, he just knew he really missed them and was dealing with intense feelings he didn't know how to handle.

After bonding and getting closer, Asriel heals and starts to wear normal clothes and pants!

There will be a continuation after chapter 28 is released! 🖤💖

episode 36

Massive spoilers behind the cut. 

This (below) is a screencap of the cropped “通告单” for Word of Honor. It’s basically the list of scenes they filmed, arranged for the plot/story. It’s also how I got spoiled (and so prepared for the last 5 episodes that I did not like, but that’s an entirely different story). 

THE IMPORTANT SCENE IS #30. The scene translates to “Ye transfers his qi (chi) to Wen to save Zhou. 

Ye Baiyi is the one who gave up his life in the end to save ZZS, not WKX. 

I’m fairly certain YBY asked the question he did to make sure it was worth him giving up his own life. It’s not like he was excited about living forever, alone on the mountain, eating snow anyways. 

Personally I believe that if WKX said no or if he hesitated, YBY would’ve gone on his own to save ZZS, but then we wouldn’t have the ending we did. 

I want to believe that WKX had a small suspicion he could make it as well because of all the extra powerz he suddenly had, or Lao Wen you would 100% be a dick. 

I seriously don’t know how some people can think this is romantic. It’s not romantic to sacrifice yourself so your dying lover would live a half life. First, it’s cruel enough to make someone live with that knowledge. 

AND TO LIVE FOREVER ON A MOUNTAIN, EATING SNOW, ALONE??? What kind of life is this??? Anyone who would make the person you love live like this is a monster. So, I believe that Lao Wen thought he had a good chance to survive the entire thing, so they could live together. It’s my headcanon anyways.

The line about “shixiong & letting him have this” is only there to give a nod to the sex scene from the novel. It’s supposed to make fans squee AND make it clear who’s gong/shou. 

We can ship any pairing any way we like, but it’s important to respect the author’s and scriptwriter’s intentions (Priest, along with many Chinese authors and readers hate switching seriously) to not claim switching is canon. It’s not. We can draw fanart or write fanfic however we like, but it’s not canon. *facepalms* I have read fic of Priest’s work with switching and liked it, but it’s not canon, okay?

After Guardian, she was direct about her preference and said that she hates switching and people can like whatever they like but don’t ship anything switching or outright wrong gong/shou pairings in front of her.

Little Darling Ending 1 - a Lady Dimitrescu x Mia Winters fanfiction

"“You know, Mia...We will still have an eye on you and your family. If your mutations become dangerous or out of hand, you can always call us and we will intervene. 24/7!”, Chris said as he offered her a little card with his contact details on it. “And once the vaccine is done, we will let you know. It can possibly destroy the D-series inside of you and the E-series inside of Ethan, along with the mutation gamble inside of Rosy.”"

Ending 1 - The Chris Ending

that's it folks, we are a few meters away from the finish line! everything is kept under the ‘read more’ to avoid spoilers for the fanfic!

Warnings: death, violence, blood taking

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 The Chris Ending The Lady Dimitrescu Ending

“I am sorry. I am so so sorry.”, Mia breathed out, nobody knew who’d be on the receiving end of her decisions. But she had made up her mind. She had made it up a long time ago.

Moving out of Lady Dimitrescu’s grip, Mia turned around and pointed the gun at her chest, finger on the trigger. “Oh dearest.”, Lady Dimitrescu sighed, shaking her head. She should have known it. She should have known from the very start that trusting a mere mortal would be her death. But at least she kind of had a say in how she died.

“I cannot betray my family, Alcina. I am so sorry.”, and with those words, Mia pulled the trigger. Right through Lady Dimitrescu’s heart, but instead of blood, mold splattered on the wall behind her. Bela, Cassandra and Daniela ran over to their mother who had sunk down on her knees, placed her hand over the wound in her chest. For good measure, Mia fired another shot into her skull, killing the vampire in an instant. With a loud bang, her lifeless body dropped on the floor, the rest of the mold inside of her spreading around her before it faded out of existence, just like its host.

The daughters turned around to face Mia, all of them visibly disappointed in her and her choices. “That’s what we saved you for? So you could kill us? Thanks for nothing.”, Daniela said. “I hope you can live with that decision.”, Bela added, and Cassandra just flipped her off. All of them earned a bullet to the skull, falling down next to their mother. They all knew they wouldn’t live forever, but this ending was nothing they had anticipated.

Slowly, the mold around the cell started to disappear, and Chris fell out of his prison. He coughed up some of the mold that had made its way into his mouth, wiping over it before shaking his head. “In all my years, I never thought I’d cross paths with them again...but they had become so dangerous.” Then, his eyes fell on the gun Mia had used. “Where the fuck did you get this one from?”

“Alcina said she snagged it off you, and that it could kill everything. So I made my decision and kill the monsters.”, Mia said, her voice flat and without any feeling. Had she made the right choice? It was too late to think of it now.

Chris shook his head, taking the gun from her, “It’s mine. Long story, y’know. And now…”, he dug around in his pockets until he found a lighter. He made the Winters family leave the cell before he set fire to the bodies of the vampires, watching as the centuries old bodies slowly vanished under the flame. The smell of burnt flesh and rotten eggs filled the cell, making Chris leave too.

*

“Okay, now just close your eyes and I will take your blood, and then you can go home.”, the scientist said to Rosy. The little girl nodded and looked over to her Mommy. Rosy had the special spot on Ethan’s lap, him holding his girl’s hand as the scientist took the blood from her. Under the promise of a new toy and some sweets, Rosy didn’t cry or throw a tantrum, instead was a good girl and let the blood flow.

*

Chris and Mia stood outside of the lab, smoking as the cold wind from the mountains made them chill to the bone. Some soldiers had taken the remains of the Dimitrescu family and sent them to another lab for examination. The castle was taken over by another crew, taking probes of the mold still growing in the basement. Mia had told them where to go and where to find everything.

“So...why did you take Rosy with you and not just...ask if you could take her blood?”, Mia asked before she took another drag. Yes, yes, she shouldn’t, but her nerves were at the end. Another day at the castle, another day away from the people she loved and she would have thrown herself off a balcony.

“We needed to keep her under supervision. See what would happen in the mixture of the D and E-series.”, Chris explained, his own cigarette short already. “My orders were to neutralize you. Trust me, killing you wasn’t something I wanted to do, but I had to.”

“If your boss says to jump off the nearest bridge, would you do it?”

“To save the world? Sure.”

“You are an idiot, Redfield.”, Mia laughed and pushed some of the ash off her cigarette. “Always the hero of the day, aren’t ya?”

“You know, Mia...We will still have an eye on you and your family. If your mutations become dangerous or out of hand, you can always call us and we will intervene. 24/7!”, Chris said as he offered her a little card with his contact details on it. “And once the vaccine is done, we will let you know. It can possibly destroy the D-series inside of you and the E-series inside of Ethan, along with the mutation gamble inside of Rosy.”

“But I have one last question...why didn’t you just take Rosy’s blood at our home and let us be? Why kidnap her and take her to Romania?”

Chris sighed and pushed out his cigarette, turning his full attention to Mìa, “For a simple reason. The mutation inside of her hadn’t aged enough. It was still a tiny little mutation, and we hoped inside of the cell and with constant supervision, we could quicken the aging of the mutation. Little did we know that we triggered a trauma inside of her due to being seperated to her family.”

“Just like Eveline.”

“Just like Eveline.”

“Would you have killed her once you were done?”

“Yes.”

And with those words, Mia finished her own cigarette and slapped Chris upside down on the head. Chris just sighed and nodded, “I deserved that.” Then, he rubbed the hurting spot on his head, pointing towards the helicopter landing area. “Your ride will be here soon. Make it a good one.”

Mia nodded and turned around, but then Chris grabbed her wrist. He pulled her towards himself, too dangerously close. “And you know - we got your back. Don’t keep any secrets from us.”

*

“Don’t keep any secrets from us.”, those words echoed in Mia’s mind as they flew out of Romania. One last glimpse at the Castle Dimitrescu, at the pain and sorrow it had caused to so many. 

Rosy slept in Ethan’s arms, exhausted and tired from both being away from her parents and the blood the scientists had taken from her. Ethan had his phone in one hand, probably texting his mother at home who was worried sick about her boy. Mia mindlessly cradled her belly in this moment, thinking of the new life growing inside of her.

Mia knew, they were still in deep shit. And it wouldn’t change anytime soon.

‘The World, Upside Down’ appreciation post

Good day! I talked about this fanfic a lot in the old days (well, I mostly talked about it’s kinda-sequel ‘Making a Kinder World’, but this Underfell fanfic is one of my favorite fanfics... ever. And today it’s author’s birthday, so happy birthday @last-haven​! Today I just wanna list all of the things (well, all the things I can put in the worlds beyond plain AAAAAA) I love about this fanfic chapter-by-chapter.

You haven’t read it? Then give it a try! It’s really good! Try ‘Making a Kinder World’ too, you can read it separate

❗❕SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE FANFIC + SPOILERS FOR ‘Making a Kinder World’!❕❗

and now, without further adue: 

All the things I love about 'The World, Upside Down' (little illustrations included)

(quotes from the fanfic are put into ‘this’)

Chapter 1

- Frisk wears gloves... cool gloves

- 'Well. Fuck.' probably same exact reaction I would have

- Frisk went out to climb a mountain... The irony

- ' Frisk hadn’t planned to take a break, but the hike had been thirsty work. ' ... thirsty work

- Flowey is such a sweetheart, honestly (i mean, it's Underfell, but still). ' I-if this world is kill or be killed, t-then I would just rather be killed. ' My sweet booooy

- (not)Local adult offers candy to a small helpless literal flower-child in the dark-ass cave

- ' ...only if their mother had gone through a goth inspired mid-life crisis and then hadn’t slept in a month. ' Frisk roasts Toriel after Toriel nearly roasts them

- First thing Chara says is a Wizard of Oz reference

- ' My mother raised me right. ' Also she happens to be you

- I really like the concept of this story. Frisk, who went through Underground, suddenly gets into the Underfell one? Damn. Well, having a good concept is nothing if you can't bring it to life right, and this story does wonderful job, like, maaan it's good.

- Flowey just can't leave Frisk to go through Ruins alone, my sweet boooy

- Thing that set up in here come back even in the last chapter, from the certain encounter to even a certain asshole

---

Chapter 2

- ' Frisk considered the floor with a healthier level of respect. '

- Froggit as confused to complement Frisk as I was confused in game what to write for Mettaton in his 'essay'

- Even the 'healing item' is set up, dang

- Have I said that Frisk is really cool and badass in this fic? Cuz they are

- ' It was odd, seeing that old familiar sight in this upside-down world... ' roll credits

- Toriel's story with human children is heartbreaking. In 'Making a Kinder World' there's even more of it but even in TWUD it's very sad

- And Frisk tells her that they read her diary?? Mad lad

- Despite anything Tori still cares, she isn't just some mad old lady

- Frisk's and Flowey's relationship is precious

Chapter 3

- Skelebros. I love them.

- ' The monster was, but more importantly, was also not Sans '

- ' Oh, he can’t be doing what I think he’s doing. He cannot be flirting back. This world really is bizarre. ' - one of my favourite lines in the whole fic

- The whole meeting with Sans. I said it before but I love it

(i kinda drew this one before but it’s worse than i remember)

- The mix of flirting and suspicion and tension and aaaaaa

- ' Well.

            Fuck. '

- Sans tell them to run HE TELLS THEM TO RUN

- the Infernal Papyrus.

- Frisk just rips into him, it's glorious

- ' "Look! A rock!”

Half to their surprise, he actually turned around and looked. ' I AM DEAD THIS IS SO PAPYRUS

- Mines

- Mines go boom boom

- ' “Don’t know what you’re so worried about,” Frisk hissed back as their fight menu options appeared before them. “You’re a tiny target—he’ll probably miss you mostly.” '

- ' Jokes, flirting, none of these seemed to be any safer than trying to tango with a honey badger. '

-  ' “I feel no shame!” ' Frisk yells and runs away

- Papyrus heals them, awww...

- and then PUNCHES RIGHT INTO THE FACE OMFG PAPYRUS

- It told later but In this whole story PAPYRUS IS ONLY 19 and that explains a lot

- but yes the whole Papyrus spare thing is awesome

Chapter 4

- Maybe a bit early to mention that one but i LOVE the world building - its expanded very greatly in the 'Making a Kinder World', but even in TWUD you can just FEEL it - feel the world. One of my favourite Underfell worlds to this day and I keep stealing being inspired for many headcanons

- Frisk is an accomplished flirt

- ' “Ugh, I’d hate to think that all this time I could have gotten out of so much trouble by flirting." ' (c) Flowey the eight year old child and god knows how old flower

- ' Judgey McJudgerson '

- Despite being an epitome of sarcasm Frisk is very caring, and its consistent throughout the story

- Great characters all around - rich, relatable and believable and impossible not to love

- Also this fanfic was first that introduced me to non-binary people. I was confused by some parts (like, i had no idea what a binder is and google did not tell me anything) but I expanded my knowledge so yaaay

- Did I mention I like Frisk's sarcasm and sense of humour? Cuz i am loving it

- Frisk and Sans's meeting before Waterfall. It may be my wild shipping self that loves all the scenes of these two but they are really great and very enjoyable

- ‘ “You saved my brother?”

            “Well, I wasn’t going to let him fall off a cliff, if that’s what you’re wondering.”

            Sans scoffed. “I would have.”

            “Sans!" ‘

- ‘ “It wouldn’t have killed him. He’s too stubborn to let a little fall kill him.” ‘ - again, very Fell Paps characteristic

- Sans's coat keeps filling up with flower petals, my heaaaart

- Quoting Flowey: 'the flirting—good god, the flirting!'

- ' Flowey made a sound like he was sighing through his nose, which was quite the trick since he didn’t even have a nose. '

-        ' “It’s a trap,” Flowey hissed.

            Frisk glanced back at him with a frown and a raised eyebrow. “Uh, yeah, I can see that.”

            Flowey gaped. “Really?”

            I should probably feel insulted by that. '

- ' I have never thought of a child needing Jesus before, but damned if I don’t now. '

- I like the idea that Flowey can feel fear and hope because those aren't technically emotions

- Papyrus helps Flowey, awww, I always loved that moment

- And Papyrus to the rescue!! Tho, Frisk, you gotta rethink some things when even the skeleton swims better than you

- I love the fact that Papyrus helped Frisk with CPR by not actually doing it right but by just finishing them off

- Papyrus's logic

- The fact that in this whole story PAPYRUS IS ACTUALLY 19 YEARS OLD

- ' *You feel demoralized. What a failure you are. ' Chara spoke not to Frisk but directly to me

- ' “I’m going to give you my number. Call me if you have an emergency. I won’t come to save you” '

- That big-ass hint that something weird had happened to Frisk's hand

- Sans putting his coat on Frisk. Gets me every time. My shipping soul melts.

Chapter 6

- Chara's sass

- ' "Even if you are an unforgivable jerk and your pet’s an idiot, I can’t thank you enough." '

- ' Moving through the dark rooms with light up mushrooms, glowing crystals, and more waterfalls, they encountered a few monsters along the way, including an Aaron who they scared off by making spooky noises at him. '

- Monster Kid and his sincere apology

- ' The problem was, one, it sure didn’t seem to be slowing her down, and two, they had no idea if she was perhaps faster than their Undyne.

            That said, she sure was about as pissed as their Undyne was. '

- THE LASER EYE

*You are both easily impressed and distracted.

- Frisk picking up the phone call mid fight. I know that happened in the game but EVERYONE'S REACTIONS

- ' Leave it to Undyne to accidently compliment her own training regime; '

- Frisk the slay dog wanna catch Undyne monologuing

- ' "I’d trust that skeleton as far as I can throw him.” ' THIS and the conversation that proceeds

- The conversation about Paps actually warms my heart

Chapter 7

- ' "You flaunt your abilities, your charms, your good hair-" '

- Chara is actually surprised that Frisk knows something they don't about Flowey

- M e t t a t o n. I love him.

- The interview

- It's not Tsunderplane, it's YANDERPLANE

- ' Mettaton made finger guns at her. “Smile for the camera, bitch.” '

- Frisk liting up Sans's cigarette

- How Sans and Frisk bicker like children over who's older and Frisk shoots him with ' “That’s okay. I always did have a thing for older men.” '

- ' “Feh. I’d rather have an incurable disease than a friend like her, but whatever.”'

- Sans tossing Frisk a pack of cigarettes. That scene always stuck in my mind for some reason

Chapter 8

- ' Turns out, he at least thought it was ‘totally homo’. '

- The 'moving in' thing was established even back there, and its still one of my favourite things ever

- How dramatic guards are

- ' Then they looked down the line and realized they had ten more to go. Great.

            *Could be worse.

            *Could be eleven more to go.

            You know, buddy, that’s the most optimistic thing I’ve probably heard out of you yet. '

- Frisk may be badass but they still can be embarrassed

- Mettaton

- Oh, did i say Mettaton already? I'm sorry, I just love him (got nothing against him but never really cared much for him either), it's the best written Mettaton I've ever seen and I adore every time he shows up

- Frisk, like... actually got a psychological trauma, and its quite sad

- The scene with the Sans and the dogs on the porch feels very ominous for me

- Mettaton warn Frisk to run, MY HEART

Chapter 9

- Mettaton and Frisk just casually chat

- ' "She only tried to kill me twice, which put her head and shoulders above some people I knew.” ' Underfell be Underfell

- '        “Well, for one, you’re not dead.”

            Well. They hadn’t expected that answer. “…Thanks?” '

- ... I love Mettaton. What he says to Frisk about taking him with them warms my heart

- The image of mangled Mettaton EX is fried into my mind forever. No, really - every time I think about Underfell Mettaton this image comes to my mind, like... damn. Nightmare fuel.

- Mettaton being in agony and forced to fight Frisk while he just yells for them to run- MY HEAAART PLEASE STOP IT

- Frisk kept yellow soul option on their phone. And they use it via fingergun

- ' “Flowey will be pissed if he finds out that I could do that this entire time and didn’t do it only to make sure I didn’t hurt anyone.” ' and after that it flashes to Flowey doing exactly that LMAO

- Also yeah, the periodical flashing to other characters watching Frisk on TV

-  ' “HAH!” they shouted eloquently. “Missed!” ' ... did i mention that I really like the characterisation of Frisk? Cuz I do. Frisk is one charismatic bitch <3

- Frisk aint immune to anger

- Metta fights back!! Man I just love everything about this fight - its heartwrenhing AND funny, and sometimes it feels straight from an anime. I love it to bits.

- Napsta's call. Man... talk about heart wrentching. I think it's taken from a comic bc I saw the said comic ages ago, but man it fits so well and hits right into the kokoro

- The fact that Napsta doesn't know what they're actually doing... Like, the whole Napstablook and Mettaton storyline that we get in the Making a Kinder World, i really love it, some of my favourite chapters because DAMN

- Chara hurrying Frisk to help Mettaton, like, really, they care too and it warms my heart

- And despite Alphys' manipulation bullshit he still doesn't attack Frisk AND CHOOSES TO OFF HIMSELF JESUS CHRIST I FORGOT HOW MUCH I ACTUALLY LOVE HIM MA BOY NOOOOO

- Papyrus to the rescue!!

- ' Oh my god. The edge lord cutie pie has a crush on Mettaton. Oh, god, that’s adorable. Did my Papyrus have a crush on Mettaton? ' Frisk freaking out over a ship XD this fanfic actually made me if not like Papyton then at least think it's alright. Not like i hated it before that, I just didn't see any reason for it whatsoever so i was neutral towards it with leaning on more negative side, but not anymore. Besides, all Papyton in this and MAKW is adorable indeed

- Alphys actually cares for Mettaton and for everybody else

- Frisk doesn't abandon Mettaton and goes back with Alphys

- Endogeny. What a good doggo. And the way it smack its face hole while trying to eat lmao

- Alphys getting sad over not getting a raise when amalgametes started to melt jfc Alphys

- The whole conversation with Alphys about hope

- ' “Oh, and Alphys? While you’re fixing up Mettaton, you might want to rethink his design. Maybe a little less Silent Hill and a little more… eh, Mew Mew Kissy Cutie.” '

- Sans got sight problems... probably shouldn't be surprised after what happened to one of his eyes

Chapter 10

- ' Oh well. Asgore was just going to have to put up with their smelly ass for a while. '

- Asriel and Chara don't know everything - Az (well, Flowey) didn't know how he came to be a flower or why he could reset, and Chara didn't know Asriel died. You would expect them to know those things, but the fact that they don't makes sense

- Chara freaking out about Flowey cuz they don't know who he really is, and angry when they find out that Frisk didn't tell them this entire time

- Asriel started to like Chara after they showed him their scary face, lmao he is really a kid

- The story of the Frisk that was before the current Frisk arrived

- ' Eh, maybe they’re not like you. That kid, they’re probably just some half-assed memory from a book I read once. Nah, reality is better. You’re better.” ' MY HEART-

- The way Sans and Frisk flirt

- Foreshadowing of Frisk's past

- The story how Sans and Paps fell out. And, speaking about it, the chapters where they kinda 'reconsile' in MAKW

- ' Caught by a whim, they leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his brow. He flinched away, but his stare showed only confusion. They grinned at him. “You’re a good bag of bones, Sans. Thanks for everything.” ' cmon, my shipping self cannot not love this moment, even if i know what happens after this conversation next time they meet and it pangs my heart

Chapter 11

- Instead of coffin room it's... good ol' fashioned prison. Made even sadden by the fact that it used to be a food bank

- The bloodied patch of dead flowers in Asgore's garden in place where previous Frisk died and did not come back. Another picture that engraved into my mind

- The button-smashing foreshadowing. Literally.

- Frisk's shock and conflicted desire to reset when Asgore strikes Flowey. Heartbreaking.

- Frisk snapping and snapping out of snapping. Frisk's 'backstory' is actually very sad because they are genially regretting what they did

- Frisk mentally apologizing to their family for their rage episode mY hEaRt

- That may sound weird but I appreciate Chara freaking out on the background and stuff. Like... I just appreciate Chara

- Frisk healing Flowey with a Dream! Like, that item that you have after the Asriel fight and can still have it in your inventory! I really like that it's here and that Frisk saved it after all those years, that's a really cool detail

- Sparing Asgore sceeeneeeee!

- Final Boss and his motivation - from just not wanting monsters to come out yet to a promise he made to his only semi-friend

- ' “But it won’t be today. But,” he said, lifting his hand, “don’t worry, babe. I’ll look after you. I promise, me and you? We’ll have nothing but time.” ' 6w6 hehe

- Sans having a power rush cuz he ain't no mastermind but just a dude who went from, like, 2% right to a 100

- I love the fact that Flowey sticks to Frisk no matter the danger. Like, they made it through the underground together, faced his past, faced his father and now they are about to face someone with the God-like power. Ooh oh.

- Sans actually doesn't want to harm Frisk and mY hEaRt

- Sans got a menu! And ofc he would be looking at it if he never had one before

- Hugging

- Frisk destroying his FIGHT button!!! Like a badass!

- Despite the battle I like how Sans and Frisk just continue to casually banter

- ' This time, Sans’ laziness really backfired on him. ' Oh my God, Sans is just... Sans

- Sans actually getting bitter at Frisk cuz he thinks they think of him as a big fuck up

- ' "...Don’t you get it—you’re the only good thing that’s ever came to this world!” ' AAAAHHHH the fact that he is desperate to keep the only good person he'd met

- Sans biting Frisk in a last ditch attempt to stop them even if he knows they're right. And realization and he is CRYING

- Sans is actually jealous of other world's Sans

- Man, those two battles are just a rollercoaster

Chapter 12

- Final chapter is 57 Word pages long

- Final chapter is 57 Word pages long despite the fact that all the fighting took place in the previous chapter

- ' He grunted, “I can’t tell if you’re fucking with me or not.”

            Frisk gave him a flat look. “Sans, after everything that happened today, I think you can do me a solid and trust me.” '

- The talk with souls

- Sans freaking out for a second when Frisk draws their soul out

- ' “The fuck?” Sans finally asked, sitting back. To their amusement, he didn’t seem particularly disturbed to see their kingdom’s dead prince revived from the plant he’d tried to murder less than five minutes ago. Just mostly confused. '

- ' Please don’t tell me that his son yelling at him is enough to convince him that this is really Asriel. What a bizarre way to recognize someone, Frisk thought, bemused. ' That's Underfell for ya

- ' “Years of strife and misery because of one damn law, and in the end, all it took was a kid to turn it over. My life feels like a joke.” ' poor Sans

- The fact that Sans tries to hide from Toriel not only for that moment but for some time afterwards lmao

- Asriel protecting Frisk and wanting to stay with them because ofc why wouldn't he

Like... ' “As far as I’m concerned, Frisk is my family now." ' MY HEART-

- All of the Sans quotes from the goat-family-kinda-reunion scene because while Frisk knows what's going on he is completely out of the loop

- ' “Don’t yell at Frisk. And don’t bother yelling at him either,” he huffed, jerking his chin in his father’s direction. “You don’t have any right to, you hypocrite. You ended up just like him. You believed in ‘kill or be killed’ too in the end. So just shut up.” ' HELL YEAH ASRIEL TELL HER-

- Souls saying bye to Toriel because she was their mom, aaaaaaAAAAAAA

- Asriel and Chara are alive! Together! Kinda! As a fusion! But ye i think it's really cool. I also think it's cool that the can morph into different body, tho they realise it years later

- The awkward image of Frisk and Asriel hugging while Sans is just standing there and Asgore and Toriel just stare at them

- ' So, you’re the little flower that kept showing up every now and then.” He paused and beamed down at Asriel. Without warning, he reached down and slapped Asriel across the back, nearly knocking the kid down. “Good for you! I knew you’d find some way to be useful, and look! Now you have arms, legs, and everything! A real improvement, I’d say.” ' My god Papyrus I love you

-  ' Undyne pressed a hand to one of her ears. “I knew I felt weird magic. My ear drums even popped when you did that.”

            “My ears popped, and I don’t even have any,” Papyrus added. ' My God Papyrus did i say i love you already

- Papyrus immideatly bitching on the surface lmao

- Frisk offering their hand for Sans so they can go to the surface together but he is refusing because he is still desperate for them to stay- MY HEART MY HEAAAAART

- Frisk forgetting for a second that Chara left them. I like that detail.

- Gaster's plan. Perfect in theory but oh so cruel for Frisk

- The fact that i can describe this fic as 'undertale ctrl c ctrl v underfell'

- Frisk thinking they are home and everything behind them is absolutely HEARTBREAKING

- Their last conversation with Paps...

- Brothers actively rescuing Frisk while totally calm Gaster is just 'well, at least Sans is making use of the blasters'

- Skelebros to the rescue!!

- Papyrus offering Frisk his gloves without a second thought

- PROPOSAL. PRO PO SAL! This is still, like, my favourite thing in the... world. Accidental proposal. And the fact that Papyrus knows it but doesn't say anything to the two of them. Perfect.

- But also, Sans offering Frisk to stay with them is just sweet. And Papyrus being like 'sTaYiNg wItH yOu mAyBe'

- ' “Wait, one thing. Are… are you guys sure it’s okay if I stay with you? If I’m any trouble, I could-”

            “You already accepted my brother’s proposal,” Papyrus said bluntly, waving them off. “You can’t back out now.” ' AND FRISK JUST LAUGHS HIS 'ODD WORDING' OFF MY GOD i just. I love this.

- Poor Sans, so out of the loop. He didn't know anything, from Flowey being the dead prince to just his brother having a crush

- I like how at this point Papyrus is just 'OH IF WE ALL LIVING TOGETHER SURE LETS HAVE ASRIEL TOO'

- Papyrus being appointed as Asriel's guard! I really like it and their relationship in general, especially in the future

- Papyrus shaking Sans out if happiness

- ' “Congrats, Papyrus,” Undyne shouted, slapping him on the back—Frisk wondered if this was where he got his strange need to slap people on the back. '

- ' Courage, loyalty, and hope. Not compassion, hope, and love—the monsters of this world really were different than their own. ' This, this right here is one of my favorite Underfell headcanons. dont mind me stealing it

- The conversation Sans and Frisk have. You know, that one. It's a true heart-to-heart, i love it

- Frisk casually leaning onto Sans despite the epic betreyal and fighting, like, a few hours ago

- Sans's reaction to hearing about satellites and being bamboozled about the whole humans-went-to-space thing

- ' “Can… can I ask you a question? A-a personal one?”

            He considered it. “This better not be any soul baring, mutual bonding shit. I’ve had enough of that.” '

- ' Once he got it to catch, they both leaned in and lit their cigarettes. Together, they took a long drag on their cigarettes and went back to staring at the sky. “Well, so much for no soul baring bonding moments.” '

-  '“What? Of course, I cried. I was eight and my life was a mess." ' big mood

- Sans being sure Frisk doesn't cry but later in the conversation they actually do and his panic... just .. precious

- Sans low-key being jealous of the previous Sans and being protective over Frisk

- And man... Undertale Sans is an actual asshole. That's how I always call him in my mind when it comes to this fanfic - Asshole Sans.

- ' Without thinking, their hand twitched and snagged his. While he blinked at them, they just pulled his hand close and tried to breathe. “Heh. That’s funny. You know, I think you’re the first person I’ve told that story to.” That was a lie—they knew he was the only one they told it. They didn’t think they would probably find the guts to tell it to anyone else either. “Six years, and you’re the first. Heh.” ' i love how despite what other Sans did Frisk never associates him with this Sans. Like, he doesn't remind them about the other Sans and the guilt they feel

- Frisk running away... sad, very unhealthy coping mechanisms but... really believable. Their trauma is really believable, you can feel it in some of their actions

- Sans's reaction after hearing that Sans and Tori in the other world hit it off

- The conversation how Sans's eyes changed. My shipping heaaart soaaars. Lve it.

- ' Grinning, they loosened their grip; he didn’t shrug them off though, so they kept their arms about him as they turned their face back up to the sky. “It really is an amazing sight, isn’t it?”

            Sans sighed fondly and patted their arm. “Yeah. Something else.” '

- Ten year skip

- Asriel turning into a... beanpole (pun intended)

- We are never told whose kiiiids. Tell me who had kiiiiiids (aside for Undyne and Alphys)

- I read it in one comment but apparently author forgot to mention Sans in the ten years later segment cuz of the big conversation prior to it and people panicked that he wasn't there and its just hilarious to me

- The cover for the fic is cool. Both versions.

- We got outtakes! That’s cool

And that’s... That’s what I love. With all of my heart.

Now don’t mind me while I go reread the entirity of ‘Making a Kinder World’, because now I absolutely want to and love it. I said it before but if it wasn’t for that one little comic I did back in the days based on one of the chapters, I would not have this blog, so yeah, this fanfic got a special place in my heart.

I wish I could do twice more amount of illustrations and actually make them better but oh well that’s just me. I hope you liked ‘em!

Thank you @last-haven​ and happy birthday! I hope you liked this post lol and I hope you and your family are staying safe!

2020 in Review

I got tagged by two very wonderful people (@round--robin and @tumbleweedtech - thanks for thinking of me!) to try this “5 favourite works you created in 2020″ thing, so here it goes! 

1. Him (E, 33k, CW: graphic depictions of violence, depression, self-harm, suicide attempt)

Summary:  In his time as a witcher, Geralt has killed just about everything that can be killed: monsters, beasts, constructs, men, even the undead can die again if you know the trick to it. Wraiths, he knows, are the lingering troubled spirits of people who died tragically, violently, unjustly and unavenged. Their unfair fate spawns in them a jealousy and hatred of everything living that quickly drives them mad and makes them dangerous and deadly, driven to torment those responsible for their plight. Usually he feels no more than a twinge of pity as he sends them off again with silver and fire, but then again usually they aren’t haunting him. Usually they aren’t Jaskier.  Geralt learns that Jaskier never made it off the mountain after the dragon hunt and, if that’s what it takes to appease the monster that now wears his face, neither will Geralt.

This is it.  The big one.  This is the one I am most proud of and also the most popular thing I’ve written this year by hits, by comments and by bookmarks.  I have definitely received the most lovely feedback regarding it, some of which had me almost tearing up.  It is also hands-down the story I felt most compelled to tell and that was most important to me that I told it well.  It’s also one of those things that reading it probably tells you way more about me than I am actually comfortable with...  It also has inspired two pieces of really amazing fanart by @pinkaxolotl85 and @gerrito! Check them out here and here!

2. Something Eternal (E, 6,666 words, CW: graphic depictions of violence, major character death)

Summary: Kaer Morhen has always been haunted. Before Salamandra plundered the paltry survivors of the earlier pogrom for forgotten reagents, before the pogrom, when the mob fanatically massacred the Wolf witchers out of blind hate, even before the witchers themselves strapped their children down to administer the mutagens that killed 7 out of every 10 so tortured, the bones of the long dead sea and the whisper of long stilled waves painted every corridor of the keep with their memories. It’s always been a place for dead things. It’s where, at the end of his long full life, Jaskier of Oxenfurt goes to die. It’s where the monster he brought with him is going to kill everyone he loves.

Hilariously, we go from my most popular fic to my least popular fic, but it’s still one I am very proud of.  It was written for the The Witcher Halloween Flash Fic Challenge (so in 48 hours from conception to finished product), but I think it turned out pretty good.  I would like to think that it is the tags, not the writing, that have been keeping people away.  It was also my first time writing horror (unless you could Him as horror, I guess), and I am unreasonably amused by finishing it at 6,666 words.

3. Save a Horse (E, 6.5k, CW: porn, pony play)

Summary: It was Eskel’s idea. It had to be really. The number of people who could seriously suggest to the two of them that Lambert pretend to be Geralt’s mount in a sexually submissive way, and then actually have that suggestion acted on, was exactly one. Lambert would have decked anyone else out of hand before even considering it, but Eskel? Eskel, who knew them both so well, who shared his own kinks with them playfully when they all fell into bed together, who seemed to want nothing more than for them all to enjoy each other? He at least owed it to Eskel to listen.

My first (and so far only) try at writing smut and I dove right into the deep end!  I am pretty proud of the characterizations in this one, even if it is porn.  Spoiler alert: it is about 2k of build-up and the smut is probably what a lot of people would consider pretty tame and just chock full of feelings.  My excuse for it is that the real kink was trust and understanding all along.  I had a few readers tell me that pony play isn’t really their thing and they still enjoyed it, so I think it worked out in the end.

4. Present Tense (T, 5.3k, CW: canon typical violence, unhealthy coping mechanisms, canon character death)

Summary:  After avenging Aiden’s death, Lambert was not particularly concerned with ensuring his own survival.  Luckily for everyone who still cared about the prickly bastard, his survival no longer seemed to be up to him.

Another fic from The Witcher Flash Fic Challenge!  Seriously, that challenge got me out of a number of writing funks this year and was very much a godsend.  I don’t know why in particular I like this one so much; it might just be some of the wordplay or imagery, but I think it sticks out as some of my better writing.

5. In Which Markus (Professional Highwayman) Gets Stabbed (T, 4.4k, CW: none that I can think of - it is very silly fluff)

Summary: Markus has a simple three step plan: 1. Watch the tournament at the Passiflora to see who wins the pot. 2. Get that person drunk. 3. Steal everything they have.  He is also about to have three problems: 1. Geralt 2. Yennefer 3. Jaskier

It was honestly a toss up between this and Lingua Franca (my first attempt at Witcher fanfic) as the last entry, but I think overall this one is a neater and more polished piece of writing.  It is 90% banter with a sweet ending.  It’s probably the funniest thing I’ve done and it was just so much fun to write and seemed to descend fully formed from the heavens merely using me as a conduit.  I think the whole thing took me maybe two hours to write, if that.  It was also my first foray into actually interacting with other people in the fandom, since it was inspired by another work (In which Artur (Apprentice Thief) quits his job by Volts) and I had to be brave and actually talk to another human being to make sure they were okay with me riffing off of their idea.

I tag @sternenstaub28 and @major-trouble!  What are you proud of making this year?  If you want to share, of course.  No pressure!

[isthatbloodonhisshirt]

If you could change ten things about Teen Wolf what would you change??

OMG BUCKLE DOWN BECAUSE IT’S GONNA BE A LONG ONE! Do asks have a word limit? Guess we gonna find out! (Sometimes I wish I could speak these replies, they sound much funnier when I am speaking out loud to myself and then they are just weird and flat typed up but I DIGRESS! I do that a lot, have you noticed? Doesn’t matter.)

(Also, I did put a “Keep Reading” but for some reason it’s not working. Or it’s not showing as working on my end. But it’s right under this paragraph I swear so if it’s not working, that isn’t on me....)

1) SO! Trauma. People be dealing with their traumas. That’d be a thing I’d like, thank you. Like, I’m sorry, but there is a fuckton of trauma in this show and everyone like, goes to bed at night and wakes up cured. Like MAGIC! I mean, yes, I get that magic is a thing in the show (is it? I mean kind of? Idk, I never saw past season 4, they alluded to magic and then SNATCHED THAT AWAY so, side-note, that’s coming up later!) But yes, I would’ve very much liked for people to, you know, deal with their traumas in a realistic fashion. Let’s get some therapy going, or like, idk, some actual negative reactions to thing! They kind of had that with Stiles every now and then, but he seemed to be up and down episode to episode so like, it’d be like they wrote an episode where he reacts to what happened to him and then four episodes have gone by where he’s fine and the writers were like “OH YEAH SHIT HE JUST MURDERED LIKE A WHOLE HOSPITAL, make him have a panic attack randomly over dropping milk, that balances out, excellent, we’re so smart.” So yes. DEAL. WITH. THE. TRAUMA! Thanks.

2) LESS CHARACTERS, MORE DEVELOPMENT! I mentioned this in another recent ask about relationships but like, they just kept shoving characters in there. Like one of those clown cars. So we got like, 30% character development on the core group and then the rest was like “wait, who are you again?” Like, legit, I have a bad memory, you put too many people in front of me, I ain’t gonna remember them unless they have a good personality or a reason to be there. And like, develop their relationships! Not even romantically, but like, Scott’s mom loves Scott, that is sweet and lovely, but like, we never really… see… that… developed? Idk man, like again, I have a bad memory, but when you really develop relationships WELL (ex: Brooklyn-nine-nine), that shit sticks with you and you CARE about people. The friendships are important, and the familial relationships are important and just developing all the dynamics is important! They spent more time showcasing how much everyone hated each other and lied to each other and stuff and that just got really tiring. Yes, you’re allowed to get mad at your friends, but if you’re a Werewolf, and your human friend is calling you when there is a fucking monster running around killing people, can you maybe stop making out with your girlfriend and answer your phone so your friend isn’t treading water with a 200+ pound Werewolf for 2 hours? Like, JUST SAYING! (Spoiler alert: Me and Scott would not be close friends. Like, I think we’d be friends, but not so much that I’d trust him with my life. If I wanted to grab pizza and a movie, maybe play some video games, he sounds like a treat, but if my life was in danger, thanks I be callin’ someone who answers their phone).

3) Actual consequences for their actions! Okay like, I am also guilty of this in fanfic, but at the same time, my writing is free, I don’t get paid for it, and I write what I want because that’s how it works, so I can do whatever I please (If I wanna make the Hales royalty for the millionth time, ain’t nobody gonna stop me!). But like, when you are a legit paid screenwriter who is writing a show? Consequences! Just because it’s a show about Werewolves doesn’t mean there can’t be any consequences! Like, the best scene, and I feel like we can agree, because fuck it like, hurt my soul and my heart and I was just so like ;~; was when the sheriff got fired (fired? suspended? TEMPORARILY UNEMPLOYED!) because Stiles stole a police van when they locked Jackson up in it. Like, that shit was REAL LIFE CONSEQUENCES for actions, and that shit was intense and it HURT and omg I loved it! Give me more of that! Like, I’m sorry, but you gonna tell me Nogistune!Stiles walked through the hospital murdering a bazillion people and not one camera was working the whole time? Not one? Nobody saw that? Nobody went “hey, isn’t that the sheriff’s kid?” Like, CAN. YOU. IMAGINE?! That would’ve been so amazing, a bunch of episodes of the pack scrambling to keep the Supernatural a secret while also trying to stop Stiles from GETTING ARRESTED because saying “Sorry ma’am, I was possessed by a demon fox who likes chaos and thought murdering a bunch of people would be fun” ain’t gonna fly in court and the FBI sure isn’t gonna believe that but like, UGH! Again, bad memory, but was the fact that Dark!Stiles wandered through the hospital killing people EVER brought up again???? CONSEQUENCES. Woulda really liked that.

4) STOP with unnecessary romances. Like, yeah, I get it, the allos like their romances, but shockingly, you can still have a good show without focussing on the romance. Like, it can be there, I’m not saying don’t put it in, I’m saying DON’T MAKE IT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING! Like, the entirety of season one was Scott chasing Allison and Stiles chasing Lydia. This… this does not make an interesting show? Like, is that just me? And then as the season progressed, EVERYONE had to be in a relationship? WHY? Again, haven’t seen past season four, but I mean, I know Scott and Kira were a thing, and then Stiles and Malia, and Liam and some… person? Idk. And Ethan and Danny (congrats Jeff, you get to tick your “I had representation in my show!” box, well done, gold star, or whatever). And Isaac and Allison, and Melissa and Chris (apparently?). And then Stydia was alluded as being canon, and Scott ended up with Malia somehow?? And Derek slept with half the town and all of Mexico, idek. Like, stop it. Stop. Shows work without everything being about everyone banging each other. (See again: Brooklyn-nine-nine, or Avatar the Last Airbender, or The Good Place, or even fucking Supernatural!) You can have a good, interesting story without everyone banging each other. It ain’t necessary.

5) More actual storytelling (again, this woulda worked better without the unnecessary romances taking up 49 of the 50 minutes of air-time). Like, yes, I get it, pilot’s gotta have some pizzaz! Gotta be spicy and sparkly to make people interested (and like, fucking hell, all I can remember of the pilot is sobbing Allison soaking wet–LIKE, WAS THAT NECESSARY???–about the dog she hit and oh noes is it dead well thank God the lead character works for a vet! And somehow has keys and access to the whole clinic like nbd at all hours? Whatever. I wasn’t even allowed inside my blockbuster as a shift lead if it was off-hours but apparently a high school student doing paperwork at a vet clinic is different, I’m not a vet so what do I know? I HAD A BAD DAY OKAY, I GOT FEELINGS ABOUT THIS RN!) I went off-topic, what was I saying? Oh yes, storytelling. You know what woulda been nice? Werewolves! It happens, we find out about Laura, we find out about Werewolves, Scott gets bitten, all that jazz. And then like… ease in the Hunters? Like, why was there Laura/Derek, Peter, AND the Hunters all crammed into the pilot? Yes, I get it, you need the SUSPENSE and the DRAMA, but you can do that without the Hunters right off the bat. Just, how CONVENIENT~ that the same day Derek and Laura come back, Hunters move to town? That’s just lazy, and again, I can be guilty of laziness, I admit to it, but I literally get paid in—like, do hearts count? I get paid in hearts and pats on the back for my fics, I can write whatever I want. If you’re getting paid to write something, try a bit harder, yes? Yes???

What number am I on? Oh good Lord, I got things to say, okay.

6) MAGIC! Can you like—I feel like this one is self-explanatory. Stiles did the whole mountain ash thing in season one, and it was SO PROMISING, and then that just died. It died like Maes Hughes getting shot in a phonebooth (spoiler, but really, you haven’t seen that yet, that’s a you problem). Why even bother introducing magic if you weren’t gonna use it? Like, was it because people like Stiles more than Scott and the showrunner was like “nonono. If we make him magic, he’s TOO cool, and then Scott is unimportant.” I mean, you coulda worked that in your favour, but no. You just murdered the fuck out of it, like straight up took it out back and shot it. Like, yeah, Derek went kiddo again and Jennifer was apparently all magic beauty spell or whatever, but like?? That’s it??? You had a show about Werewolves and you didn’t even try to make it more interesting by making some of the characters magic? Lydia’s basically the closest and they didn’t even explain her powers that well. Magic would’ve been dope and they totally shoved that to the side. That was dumb. Shoulda done something with that.

7) Explain things more? Don’t mention them once and then do nothing? Like, we got some brief stuff about anchors, and emissaries (which are super duper secret according to Deaton but then like, EVERYONE KNOWS HE IS EMISSARY SO WHICH IS IT DEATON? YOU TELL ME!) Like, they had so much opportunity to talk about so many things and again, maybe that comes out more in the later seasons, idk, but they likely coulda done with more explanations and they didn’t and this angers me GREATLY. They mention something once and then it never comes up again. That’s some Lost bullshit right there. Don’t start something if you’re not gonna commit. You tell me the beginning of the story, I wanna fucking know the end, don’t forget halfway through and wander away, that ain’t right, I NEED ANSWERS JEFF! And like, as above, never really got Lydia’s powers. I know what a Banshee is, but her powers did NOT make sense to me. Idk, could just be that I’m dumb, but similarly, don’t write something so convoluted that it confuses people, that is also dumb. As dumb as I am so like, well done there. And also do we get more on Parrish? I know he’s a Hellhound, but how does one get born a Hellhound and not know until you are conveniently lit on fire by someone trying to kill you for money? (Also, you bean, you absolute treasure, “I’m worth five dollars?” You’re so cute. Silly child.) I feel like being a Hellhound is something that woulda come up before getting barbecued in his cruiser. Like, he works a stressful job, you gonna tell me not ONCE while getting shot at he didn’t have a massive heart attack over a close call and like, burst into flames? No? Is that just a me thing? I feel like the slightest annoyance and I’d be fully on fire, not gonna lie. (I’d be on fire a LOT… CLEARLY I AM AN ANGRY PERSON! No, that’s not true. No yes it is, I am angry, but more angry lately because I’m sleep-deprived and work is dumb ANYWAY back to this)

8) EMBRACE THE SIDE CHARACTERS! Okay, so MAYBE Scott is meant to be the golden child. The Dick Grayson of the show, if you will. The original Robin, the creme de la creme. That’s all fine and dandy if he is, no judgement (little judgement), but you know what you don’t do when your side characters are getting a lot of attention and love? What you DO NOT do is give them less screen time. Because then you’re being petty and, shockingly, you get more positive results when you give the fans what they want. I’m not talking about pairings, because everyone is different, and you can’t cater to everyone, but like, the more people moved away from liking Scott, the harder the showrunners pushed him into our faces. And like, that isn’t how this works. If I like side character 87 a lot, and the lead’s getting annoying, you know what’s gonna make me NOT watch the show? Cutting out side character 87 (hey, for shits and gigs, let’s call him DANNY, just, not coincidentally at all) and then just shoving the lead into my face. That is what makes someone go “Well, four seasons is enough, I can happily live knowing I didn’t waste my life watching two more of them.” Like??? I’m not saying cut out Scott, because the show is ABOUT Scott, but the more everyone tried to showcase how amazing and wonderful and pure and perfect he was, the more annoying it got? Like, Scott has flaws. THEY ALL HAVE FLAWS! If you don’t admit that they all have flaws, it gets boring, and you hate the characters. I know that Scott turned into a douche later (apparently, again, haven’t seen it), but even in the early seasons by trying to make him this pure True Alpha golden angel child who spreads love and hope and trusts everyone, it just got boring. He was vanilla, and also a bad friend, because he was too “perfect” to be around someone “imperfect” like Stiles, and even like, the rest of the pack overall. He was always put on a pedestal and it made the show really… irksome? Idk, I just feel like yes, SCOTT is the Teen Wolf, but you added all these damn side characters, maybe use them a bit more? At least Stiles was interesting, and Lydia was fucking badass, and fucking hell, if you’d done right by Boyd and Erica, the actors wouldn’t have left for better shows so like, come on man, you coulda done better. We coulda had such a dope show, why you gotta crush my dreams like that Jeff? What did I ever do to you?

I know this is only eight, but this is long enough, if I go two more, this is gonna be IN.SANE. And also it’s late and I haven’t finished my fic for the day (I mean, I’m almost done, but I’m not done yet!) So like, I’ma stop here. But yes, hopefully this answered your question. Sorry I got REALLY PASSIONATE about it but it’s been a day.

Also, I feel this needs to be said, but obviously these are my own personal opinions, and as opinions, you are not obligated to agree with them. But you are also not allowed to tell me my opinion is wrong. You can disagree with it, but this is an opinion, not a law, so there is no right and wrong. Don’t @ me, my day’s been bad enough kthx!

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, BE BACK IN LIKE TWENTY(?) MINUTES!

A Happy Halloween Outlander Fan-Fiction Reading List

Trick or Treat! Here’s a Halloween reading list for your enjoyment! 

Witches

The Evanora @bonniebird17

The full moon hung over me, giving me the strength to keep me going and I was heading east, leading the witch hunter further away from my home and my sisters.

Part 1

Part 2

An Leabhar Dìlseachd by @thetranquilteal

Claire Fraser had always known she was a witch. Her affinity for healing hinted at it and her ability to time travel confirmed it. What she didn’t know was that she would come into her full power the day she became a mother. Concerned with how her pregnancy is progressing, she's seeks the help of apothecary Master Raymond in the hope that he will be able to teach her how to utilise her newfound power and protect her family from disaster. A canon-divergent AU told through the pages of the Fraser Grimoire ‘The Book of Faith’.

Bewitched by @julesbeauchamp

Jamie and Claire Fraser are like any other young married couple, except for some tiny detail: he's a mortal human being and she's a witch, something which she does not divulge to him until after their wedding.

Jamie just wants them to live a simple, mortal life, to which Claire agrees, meaning no witchcraft and no telling any of their mortal friends and relatives of her being a witch. However, that no witchcraft vow is more difficult to maintain than Claire had expected.

Brujerìa by @julesbeauchamp​

Being a witch was a detail Claire Beauchamp omitted to tell people. She was determined to live her life as normally as possible and she was doing a pretty good job of it. At least until her meeting with a stranger sent her life into a spiral and revealed secrets about her past she never suspected.

The Witch and the Red Man by @lady-o-ren

He was a man meant for a life of loneliness but was relentlessly hunted for the darkness lurking within.

To Kill a Witch by @owlish-peacock36​

Jamie doesn’t know much about women. Even less about the strange Miss Beauchamp. Outlander AU. One-shot.

Three Witches by @westerhos​

An AU where Claire, Jenny, and Geillis are three modern-day witches. A big ole house, a "No Men Allowed Policy", rituals in the woods - the usual witchy norm. When Jamie shows up, things go to hell in a hand basket.

Three Witches Stories by @westerhos​

Little ficlets set in the Three Witches universe, where Claire, Jenny, and Geillis are modern day witch friends with hilarious love lives.

The Thief, the Whore, the Witch, and the Strange Woman by @westerhos​

An Outlander AU in which a 22 year old Claire Beauchamp Randall travels back in time on August 1st (Lughnasadh), 1941/1739. Ellen and Brian Fraser, both alive, offer her shelter in exchange for help in aiding Ellen's recovery. The growing attraction between Claire and Jamie leaves Claire torn, while suspicions arise regarding her past...Soon, it becomes clear that the Frasers know more than they let on.

The White Witch's Gift by @sapphiresassenach

A Christmas gift is given to Jamie and Claire during their twenty-year separation. The gift of each other.

I am a Witch by wongirl

What if after the witch trial when Jamie asks Claire if she is a witch she says yes?

P.S. Don't take it too seriously it's just a bit of fun

This is a Harry Potter/Outlander crossover story.

Witches by @whiskynottea​ at @otheroutlandertales​

1739 -Fort William has a new garrison commander - one who is decided to break the Scots’ spirit. Will Jenny and Claire be able to save the tenants of Lallybroch with their magical powers, while staying safe?

Red Jamie and the White Lady by @takemeawaytocamelot​

Claire Beauchamp is dragged by her best friend and flatmate, Geillis Duncan, to go visit a powerful psychic to prove once and for all that true love exists. Claire is a practical woman and finds the idea of true love pointless. Jamie Fraser is a powerful psychic who can glimpse the future. When he meets Claire, something changes. Like they were destined to find each other.

Legend of the Faerie Wife by DiverseMediums

A legend from the written history of Clan Fraser.

While this is a stand alone story, it is intended to be a companion piece for takemeawayocamelot's Red Jamie and the White Lady. There are no spoilers, but it adds a bit of depth to the brilliance she's creating over there :)

The White Witch by BlackStarNYC

The Scottish matriarchal family—known as the "Thomson Witches"—have a long and forlorn history... As the youngest of the clan, Claire’s life turns to chaos at a young age due to the power she has inherited. Pulled into the 18th century, she becomes bound by love that is threatened to be torn apart by castle intrigue, a 100 year old clan feud, war and a man possessed by a spirit that has haunted her family for centuries.... what could go wrong?

This Life by @calliopemoonbeam​

Claire is a healer from a very young age. She trains in the mystical arts around the world, as well as the traditional medical field. She finds herself in London as a surgical resident in the late 1980s and early 90s. She starts having dreams of a past life. Where will they lead her?

Philomene by @ianmuyrray​

Jenny -- thought dead by the rest of the world -- has lived in quiet exile since her king brother betrayed their family by allying with Black Jack Randall, who is on a mission to weed out any and all women who possess magic. Execution now waits for any woman who shows herself to know and use magical powers, or any woman merely suspected of being magical - no matter her rank, her family, her influence, her children, or her own desire to live.

Jenny was supposed to be the first in the rising storm of murdered women, but, by some miracle, she survived. And has lived in hiding. But now she has been found.

Vampires

Exsanguinate by @owlish-peacock36​

Exsanguinate: to drain of blood

No one ever asked for his name anymore. They gave him a wide berth, avoiding him at all costs. Whispers of rumors filled his ears, closer to the truth than they realized.

Monster. Incubus. Strigoi. Upyr. 

No. His name was Jamie.

Step Into the Night by LadyRevolution

An Outlander AU where Claire didn't fall through the stones, she was on the run from the vampire coven that has been trying to enlist her for centuries. In her reprieve at Castle Leoch, it has been a challenge to both hide her vampirism and stay away from Jamie. He smells good, too good, and for a thousand year old vampire with steel control, that's worrying.

"Ye need blood, Claire, I can tell ye do," Jamie whispered, backing her into a wall, a hand on either side of her head. Breathing heavily, he leaned forward and exposed his neck, "so take it from me." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the moment Claire gave into her desires, her almost black eyes zeroing in on his neck.

Scottish Vampire in Boston by sunshineduckies

A Fairy's Stone by @sapphiresassenach

Prompt: I was thinking if you could come up with a fanfic where what if Claire actually was Fae and revealed it to Jamie but stated that since she was bound to Jamie because they were soul mates and whatnot and thus she became fairly human when the deal was sealed and whatnot. If you get inspired maybe by this it would be cool to see what you come up with. (Fairy)
