Tumblr media
She couldn't simply surrender what had been the very essence of her life, the one thing that no one was supposed to have the power to take away from her. Her freedom? Nobody was acutally free. Her love? She could find a way to cope with it. Her child? A heart-wrenching sacrifice, but she could endure it. Yet, this vital part of her, this very core of her being – she would never allow anyone to snatch it away.
And that marked the tale of a parasite.
Of a Patron and Its Chains is a 18+ interactive fiction in a fantasy and steampunk setting inspired by the worlds of The Witcher Series and Fullmetal Alchemist. You are a seasoned hunter tasked with tracking and eliminating dangerous supernatural threats. However, your story takes a turn when you decide to become also a pactbearer.
Tumblr media
In this realm where the intricate dance of magic and technology creates a canvas of possibilities, one could easily envision an idyllic existence.
The ability to traverse into other realities, though often at a steep cost, promised rapid advancement that could border on madness. Yet, amid these innovations and developments, lurking dangers remained ever-present. The very act of opening portals to other realms could inadvertently usher in creatures not meant for this world, seamlessly intertwining them with reality.
It was a world where the choice was to either be the hunter or the hunted, and most succumbed to the latter fate. However, your father instilled a different path in you. As a hunter of those creatures, he ensured you absorbed all the survival knowledge you needed before eventually got wrongfully accused and executed, a tragic turning point that reshaped your plans. Rather than simply following in his footsteps to become a hunter, you decided to become a pactbearer.
Summoning a Patron, a legend from diverse worlds and realities, your mission was to unite with fellow pactbearers. Together, you would confront an encroaching evil, all while seeking the fulfillment of a cherished wish granted by a god. Yet, even with the support of numerous companions and your trusted Patron, each victory over a monstrous foe revealed a looming threat waiting just beyond the horizon...
You are the hero... right?
Tumblr media
This is an 18+ interactive fiction that is being written on Twine.
be a hunter that kills monsters or embroils into unwanted drama
fully customizable mc from appearance, pronouns and personality
several sidequests to develop your skills as a hunter (includes: Possession, Witches, Ancient Beasts and more)
a beastiarium with further information to every creature you meet on the way
the big world of Vestria & Co. with a lot of lore that you can all uncover - or not!
a cryptic voice inside your head that occasionally breaks the fourth wall
meet the other pactbearers and their patrons and decide what relationship you want to have with them
choose what animal-form your patron is going to have
a total of six companions (including your patron) who will be with you a majority of your journey
all of them are romancable, plus a hidden romance option for those who can be patient
lots of parental issues!
figure out the truth of your world, or fail to do so - there is no right or wrong
and a... cow?

The RO's include:
✸ Cú Chulainn (M/F)
In ancient tomes and tales, Chulainn stood as a formidable legend — an indomitable hero whose laughter echoed in the face of enemies and even death itself. They reveled in the thrill of combat, never yielding without a proper battle. Yet, such was the image you held dear until the moment you summoned them into your realm, making them your esteemed Patron. The being before you shattered the illusion you once cherished. No longer did they exude the vigor of a warrior; instead, bitterness clung to their spirit, entwined with a profound disdain for the world and all its inhabitants. Longing for the solace of death they once fervently evaded, Chulainn relinquished their ardor for combat, dismissing it as a hollow pursuit devoid of significance. As a consequence, their role as your Patron proved less than… helpful. Nevertheless, a flicker of optimism lingers within the depths of their desolate heart. Perhaps, against all odds, you possess the power to reignite the flames of purpose within them, offering a renewed sense of hope and the chance for a remarkable new beginning.
✸ Lysander/Lysandra (M/F)
Within the illustrious court of the High Queen, there exists a figure of great repute: Lys, a distinguished servant renowned for their unparalleled ability to fulfill any given task. Their name has become synonymous with perfectionism, as they consistently meet and surpass the lofty expectations placed upon them. The mere mention of their name evokes awe and respect throughout the courtly corridors. Alas, despite their esteemed standing, Lys remains a figure of divisive sentiment. Whispers and murmurs abound among their colleagues, swirling in a ceaseless cycle of gossip. Tales of their rigid and occasionally insolent demeanor dominate these conversations, yet there is another facet that elicits both awe and envy in equal measure. Lys possesses an unparalleled loyalty to the High Queen, a level of devotion that others find almost unattainable. Yet, the reality surpasses the worst of these rumors. Lys' nature transcends the bounds of mere unpleasantness, particularly in their interactions with you. Adding fuel to the fire, they perceive you as a sort of rival, amplifying the tensions between you. One can only wonder if it is merely a facade in an attempt to hide their weakness or the reality of their identity.
✸ Holographic Entity "Holly" (F)
Holly, the Patron of Lys, assumes the guise of a long-haired housecat, but her true essence hails as a revolutionary from a distant reality, a realm of unparalleled advancement far beyond the scope of Vestria. For Holly, her presence in this foreign world feels akin to embarking on an elaborate holiday excursion plucked from the very pages of historical books she once heard of. Her insatiable curiosity serves as the driving force behind her existence, propelling her to seek new experiences and infusing every interaction with a buoyant energy that suggests no challenge is insurmountable. Unafraid to vocalize her thoughts and opinions, Holly fearlessly shares her insights, even when they clash with those of her companion, Lys, particularly when the subject of her candid musings centers around you. Or at least, that is the impression you choose to hold. Her unabashed honesty may lead some to believe that she is a simple, unassuming creature. However, the more time spent with Holly reveals that there is much more to her than meets the eye. After all, one cannot lead a revolution based solely on a smile and an unfiltered mouth.
✸ Elli Agilulf (M)
The Blessed Ones, the esteemed right and left hand of the Night Church, are figures known to all who have ventured beyond the confines of ignorance. Cloaked in an aura of mystery, their veiled faces lend an air of both authority and enigma. Among their ranks is Elli, who strives to embody the idealized image of a Blessed One. He adheres to a code of silence, speaking only when necessary and responding with a detached aloofness. True to form, he carries himself with an air of subtle intimidation. However, beneath his carefully crafted facade, Elli is easily rattled by even the slightest inconvenience or a quick-witted remark, his frustration and anger palpable despite his hidden face. He is short-tempered and stubborn, a nature that clashes with the expectations of his position. As a Blessed One, he is expected to be a mindless automaton, devoid of thoughts or personal desires, but Elli's mind is a swirling vortex of thoughts and emotions, overflowing with complexity. Perhaps it is this contradiction, this clash between his true nature and the expectations placed upon him, that makes Elli an actual enigma. You do feel yourself challenged when he decides that you are a criminal to-become.
✸ Irydion (F)
Irydion holds a perspective that challenges the notion of victory being achieved simply through diplomatic agreements and signed papers. To her, a war is not truly won until she has exacted revenge to those she deems responsible for the suffering inflicted upon her country. As a member of the militia, she is fueled by a desire to fight, her hands trembling with the power of her magic, ready to unleash it upon her enemies on the frontline. While others may perceive an undisturbed silence on the battlefield as a sign of these so called peacetimes, Irydion remains vigilant, recognizing it as a deceptive tactic used by the enemy to lure her into dropping her guard. Too bad she is always a step ahead of those who seek to harm her people! Her selfless dedication to protecting and caring for her fellow countrymen is unwavering, even if it means being seen as misguided or paranoid by those who don't fully understand her. Irydion's allies may acknowledge her kind-hearted nature, but they also recognize her single-minded determination and unwavering belief in the necessity of fighting back against an enemy that is just a shadow. Irydion does not care for these rumors, knowing that regardless of how many may stand against her, they will eventually come to understand the truth of her cause. She remains steadfast, believing that time will prove her right in the end. After all, you believe her… right?
✸ "Junius" (M)
Even as Irydion's patron, the line between their roles blurs, with Junius' approach to her and other humans carrying an arrogantly nonchalant air. His actions, delivered with ease and naturalness, ridicule or charm one without noticing. With a mere lazy wink or a mockish bow, he effortlessly asserts a sense of superiority, deliberately refraining from putting genuine meaning or depth in his antics. Maintaining an elusive detachment, he keeps others at arm's length, preventing them from ever truly getting close to him. Despite his mysterious past, he carries himself as if the weight of secrets hold little significance to who he is. Junius' personality dances on the edge of daring, akin to playing with fire, drawing allure and enticement from the very act itself. He fearlessly indulges in flirting with married women and engaging in challenges with those of higher social standing, defying conventional norms and embracing a provocative existence. There lies a subtle irony in his guise — a wolf rather than a lion — his pride speaking for another form. And even in conversation, he adeptly maintains the facade, never allowing his act to waver, leaving you to question whether it is indeed a carefully crafted performance or indeed the reality of his character.
???
If it wasn't the work of gods, maybe it was fate that brought you together.
And several other characters you meet on your way across the country; other pactbearers and their patrons, tragic lovers, a noisy priest, ill-ridden villages (there is only two but it's weird it happened twice), two twin-rulers who don't seem to get along, a talking book, and more.

New update.
Hey everyone!
I hope you're all doing well. I just wanted to let you know that I finally completed the update, and it should be available now. I apologize for taking this long to update the game (and for the delays); it turned out to be much bigger than I initially anticipated (again).
Here is what the update contains:
Chapter 2 Part 2 is now available with ~81k words, pushing the overall word count to 271k words (not counting the character info pages, of course).
There are (WIP) options that are still not fully done, so I decided to leave them locked for now - I plan on finishing the Barnabas and Zenon scenes (I already have most of it drafted) and then move on to the rewrite. The other WIP options will be added during that process.
There are a lot of new variables, so you will need to start a new save to play the update. However, you can still choose to skip straight to Chapter 2 if you do not wish to play the game from the beginning.
I spent a long time trying to eliminate any bugs or issues, but I'm sure that there are some that slipped through. If you encounter any problems, inconsistencies, or anything that doesn’t seem right, please let me know.
I'm always eager to hear your feedback, so please don't hesitate to share your thoughts, critiques, suggestions, or any questions you may have.
I'll answer the remaining asks I have in my inbox and any new ones tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience and support, and I hope you enjoy the new content!

Big Disclaimer here: I, personally, don't condone the "Kira Plan" in any way, shape, or form. I don't even believe that there is a "correct" way to enact it. I am very firmly on the "Anti-Kira" and "Light is a Tragic Character with Bad Coping Mechanisms/Self Delusion" teams. I don't want to spoil too much of what's left of this story, but I do have a plan/explanation in the future~.

Augusnippets Day 7: Choking
CW: 1st person pov, Gothic whump, chains, choking, breath whump
Bound in chains and nearly speechless with terror, I knelt on the stone floor and peered desperately into the shadows. My tormenter hid there; in the dim light I caught a glimpse of deeper blackness, the suggestion of a face, the movement of a hand. But I couldn’t see him. I saw only a length of chain stretching back into the dark.
“What…what do you want with me?” I managed to whisper.
In answer, the chain jerked taut, tightening around my neck. I choked and dropped to my knees. I couldn’t breathe. My useless throat spasmed. My pinioned body tensed and struggled, fighting for air.
“If you must ask, you don’t deserve my mercy,” came the voice from the shadow. Familiar. Something about it felt familiar. For a moment, I froze, stilled by the horrible realization that this voice was one I had heard before.
Then my terrified struggle resumed. I felt myself fading, strangled into unconsciousness. Whether I would wake from it, I didn’t know.
“It should be obvious,” came the voice slowly, dimly. “I want you to suffer. I want to torture you until you beg for death but find only terrible, excruciating life.”

Crocodile turned Doflamingo's vivre card over in his fingers as it guided them to the marine warship. They had both known that their arrangements with the World Government– their status as 'warlords of the sea'--- was temporary, and fragile.
As warlords, by definition nothing they did was illegal. And yet first Crocodile, and now Doffy had both been arrested and stripped of their titles easy as you please.
It was a stern reminder– the World Government didn't care about justice, or even about the law. All that mattered was power. And that was what he and Doflamingo had both lost.
-
The seastone manacles bit and chafed the tender flesh of Doflamingo's wrists as he sat sprawled in the warship's brig. It had fallen apart. It had all fallen apart so fast. Doffy's body bruised and ached from the beating that Luffy had given him, but little was more bruised than his own ego.
History was divided into winners and losers, nothing else, and for now at least, Doffy was one of the losers.
Canonfire and the sudden rocking of the ship cut through his melancholy and he scrambled up, smiling bright, to find out who was coming to his rescue.
-
In the wreckage of the brig Crocodile held up the key for the seastone chains, and Doflamingo's already huge grin got even wider.
"You came!" He lumbered up despite the unnatural weight of the chains bearing him down.
"What was I going to do, let you rot?" Crocodile grunted. "At Marineford you were still a government dog. And in my way."
He grabbed Doffy's wrists roughly, making him wince as he twisted the key and pulled the cuffs off, casting them away. Doffy rubbed his raw skin and shook his head, still grinning.
"We're both off the leash, now, Crocco-babe."

Hands, Head, and Arms
Short fiction for @queering-the-chain, alternate prompt PDA.
Rated G, RavioLi, 400 words.
Legend is just a little jealous Ravio came to see Wars not him. He knows they're just friends, but he wants a little reassurance in turn.
Also on AO3
IIII
Link looked around the inn and paused, stunned to see a familiar face.
“Wars, you didn’t write to him again did you?”
“To who?” Warriors asked, then looked up and waved himself. “Ravio! You came?”
“Why did you—” Link complained, but there was no point. His partner was up and coming around the tables quickly already although this time he bypassed him to clasp Warriors’ hand first instead.
It was a weird feeling, to be ignored, but he knew distantly Ravio and Warriors did know each other, for all Ravio refused to speak of it and Warriors – like he had every other time – said no more then he ever did about his adventure.
There was a witch who broke the world and woke Ganondorf.
Simple. Straightforward. Absolutely useless.
Link was glad Wars had someone, truly, but he hadn’t realized they were close enough Ravio would come see him. It made him a little, strangely, jealous, and Ravio turned from the hand clasp towards him almost as shy as he’d been there.
Warriors didn’t like touch. Legend didn’t like being very public with it, but – why should he mind? It’s not like it was a secret; everyone in the Chain knew they were close, so...
When Ravio might’ve done the same to greet him, after a few incomprehensible words between him and Wars, Link took his hand and pulled him tight to his chest.
“I keep forgetting you can come find us,” Link said aloud. “It’s good to see you.”
Ravio froze for only a moment before switching happily from hand-clasp to hug him back. He almost squealed with delight and kissed his cheek. “How could I turn either of you down?” he protested, then pushed back only far enough to press one finger to Link’s nose. “But you need to stop leaving things out when you write.”
Link looked betrayed at Warriors. “What lies did he tell you?”
“Something about you and Wild having a competition over who could headshot the lynel before it fired its bow....?”
Link flushed hard and his leg ached in sympathy.
He’d missed his shot by a hair, and clipped its horn instead.
“It wasn’t important,” Link protested, and in lieu of a lecture kissed Ravio on the mouth instead.
Warriors coughed. “I’ll get your order for you, Vet, for when you two are done.”
