Reworked Character #6: Nadia Cassel

POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised due to references to death, neglect, sterilisation, human experimentation, abuse, kidnapping, stalking, cannibalism, and SA.

Real name: Nadège Véronique Comtois

Alias: Perky Foodie

Occupation: Private First Class of the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S., fighter pilot for the Regular Army, a freelance painter, a tactical scientist for the Amadeus Syndicate (formerly), and an e-celeb supermodel (formerly)

Retirement plans: Become a professional forensic scientist, acquire a private jet, and establish an art studio and an ethical science lab

Special skills: Marksmanship, aviation skills, forensic science, knowledge of biological hazards, anatomy, and genetics, and proficiency in fashion modelling, sketching, and painting

Imperfect clone abilities: At her own will, she can rapidly regenerate missing limbs and organs, minimising blood loss and restoring her body to its original form without the need for medical aid. Her blood possesses extraordinary healing properties, capable of instantly curing non-lethal ailments, skin punctures, and all manner of burns. When Nadia opens her mouth wide and flexibly shifts her upper and lower front teeth, she reveals four syringe-like fangs, which are neatly concealed within the hard palate. These fangs enable her to consume the blood of other living beings and replenish her own lost vital fluid.

Her body is resistant to all lethal toxins and pathogens. Moreover, she possesses incredible agility and can move at hyperspeeds. Notably, her pancreas, shielded by a thick layer of blubber, has the unique ability to produce a bile-infused silk. She utilises this silk to puke up robust, ensnaring nets that capture her victims and slowly burn them with its corrosive properties. Nadia’s hands feature reseda chartreuse eyes with feline pupils, granting her night vision, and her fingernails are entirely fleshy, concealing retractable claws made of an adamantine greenish-yellow material.

Hobbies: Painting landscapes, going on shopping sprees (she often buys gifts for her comrades and friends), reading books on human and animal anatomy, genetic engineering, and forensics, messing around with flight simulation software, and eating large quantities of food after each mission

Likes: Trevor, food challenges, the Walking Machines, maintaining her figure, and sunbathing and enjoying a three-scoop ice cream cone at the beach

Dislikes: Starvation, getting unnecessarily dirty, not getting the chance to pilot the Slug Flyer or Slug Copter, people doubting her fashion advice and telling her to keep her mouth shut, and individuals that she views as scary and incapable of having fun (such as Tequila and Eri)

Favourite food: Coq au vin, phaal curry, and anything sweet and sugary

Favourite drink: Cotton candy soda

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Gender: Female

Age: 12 (in 2022), 18 (in 2028), 20 (in 2030), 22 (in 2032), 24 (in 2034), 31 (in 2041), 33 (in 2043), 34 (in 2044), and 37 (in 2047)

Blood type: B+

Weight: 120 lbs. (54 kg)

Design: She’s a 5’ 4” (162.56 cm) French ectomorph with a gracefully thin body, small breasts, curvaceous hips, sloping shoulders, and a serpentine tongue covered in microscopic spikes. She has limestone skin and possesses feline-like pupils that transform into vertical slits only when she opens her mouth wide enough to reveal her concealed fangs. Her eyes are heterochromatic with her right eye being a warm amber, while her left eye is grey-green with brown flecks. Nadia has a few moles: one on the right side of her chin; one near the corner of her left eye; two above her left breast; one on the back of her right hand; and one slightly below her right knee.

She has raspberry red hair with voluminous curls that reach the middle of her upper back, but she often ties it into two pigtails with stretchy reseda green hair bands. She has a silvery-pink birthmark on her left shoulder, almost shaped like a crescent moon with three protruding spikes. A large circular patch on her upper back is stripped of skin, exposing crimson muscles and purplish veins, and her greenish-yellow spine is partially protruding.

Her military gear consists of a metal dog tag necklace with her name, an avocado green tank top, and the same knee pads and socks as Nadia Cassel from Metal Slug 4. She wears Argentine blue neoprene gloves, reseda green leather belt with a snap-on silver buckle, and a champagne-hued vest with the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. insignia on the back. She wears navy blue army cargo pants tucked into twilight lavender combat boots with spiked soles. She also wears a dirty white lab coat, a case for her stun gun, and a gun holster for a handgun. Underneath her uniform, she wears an identical bikini to Everlasting Summer Nadia's.

The pockets of Nadia’s vest carry around a pocket knife, a sticky note pad, a red pin, a black cellphone with a metallic green case, a blue pin, and a bag of macadamia nuts. In the pockets of her lab coat, she carries an orange-and-white cat plushie with blue eyes and an emerald green tie named Melekhai (used for stress relief), along with a caramel-filled chocolate candy bar in silver wrapping and a small pine-wood box of strawberry frosted sugar cookies. She wears a forest green waist pack containing a bottle of laxatives and two blood packs for snacking. Attached to the left side of her belt is a square-shaped pouch with a clear plastic window, showcasing balls of bubblegum and lollipops in different colours inside. The pouch features an amaranth pink outline, feline ears with bluish-white fur, a pistachio-hued strap with a black button clasp, and a metallic silver zipper.

Over her tank top, she dons a Soldier Plate Carrier System (SPCS) with a MultiCam pattern, which carries around her walkie-talkie and ammo for other firearms. She wears two dark brown bandoliers that cross over her body in an X-shape, each holding grenades. Nadia carries around a navy blue load-bearing backpack that contains camping equipment, portable ammo boxes, a canteen full of water, a 7.62mm AR-10 Autorifle, a medical kit, a DOLL bodysuit, and liquid and pill bottles of cures and deadly chemicals. She carries greenish-black gas masks, similar to those worn by the Ptolemaic Army special forces, to her teammates who needed them. She also carries around a painting kit, her mint green sketchbook with bubblegum pink polka dots, and a set of drawing pencils with two erasers and a sharpener.

She also wields a specialised rifle that fires needles containing transformative liquids, capable of altering humans into simian or mantis creatures. Additionally, she carries purplish rolling bombs that contain mummifying breath and throwable canisters filled with a zombie-inducing orangish phlegm that explodes upon impact. She wears safety goggles, star-shaped lavender spinel earrings that dangle from her ears, and a non-dangling peridot belly ring piercing.

Character summary: She boasts swift wit and inventive verbal humour, often outsmarting her foes with clever sabotage tactics. Despite being a childish, happy-go-lucky, and sassy goofball, she has a surprisingly intelligent and cynical side, but she loves to indulge her silly and jubilant nature. Due to her fondness for her exceptional intellect, she sometimes perceives other people as “intellectually inferior” to herself. She conceals her bitterness and wariness of strangers behind a facade of playful teasing, mischievous pranks, sarcastic remarks, and a charming smile. She cherishes her friendship with Trevor, who is her first true best friend. She appreciates his laid-back nature and ability to understand her effortlessly. Over time, she has developed subtle romantic feelings for him, largely due to his hacking expertise and the enjoyable quality time they share. However, she has become adept at concealing these emotions.

She enjoys taking her friends on shopping sprees, blending social time with style consultations. She demonstrates her loyalty to her friends by nurturing their relationships and showing platonic affection, often showering them with hugs and kisses. She's a fearless advocate for herself and others, refusing to tolerate bullying or any form of mistreatment, and will boldly speak out against it. She has a fondness for assigning nicknames to those around her, including friends and foes alike.

She's a friendly, humorous, and talkative busybody with a passion for creative expression and thrill-seeking adventures, which give her a taste of what it truly means to live. Despite efforts to maintain her supermodel figure, she has developed mild bulimia nervosa; while trying to resist the urge, she sometimes purges after eating. Additionally, she struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), manifesting as a fear of contamination, anxiety about misplacing valuable items, and a need for order and balance. She also experiences distressing thoughts, including fears of losing control, harming loved ones, and intrusive thoughts about sexual subjects. Whenever she hears about child abuse or unethical experiments, she becomes visibly shaken, her mind goes numb, and she withdraws socially for a few hours, succumbing to a melancholic state.

She takes a disturbing pleasure in obliterating her enemies, often letting out a maniacal laugh as she does so. Her humour is a unique blend of lighthearted and dark, peppered with French phrases, occasional broken English (a reminder that it's not her first language), and sprinkled with Korean expressions that Trevor has taught her. Outside of military work, she often dodges unwanted tasks by concocting elaborate schemes (frequently with Trevor's help) to avoid them. However, her plans often backfire, resulting in trouble for neglecting her duties. Moreover, she has a tendency to slack off during missions, especially when she becomes bored and her attention wanders to more exciting things. When she gets into trouble, especially when it involves people she has convinced to join her antics, she often tries to deflect responsibility by feigning innocence and shifting the blame onto others.

She possesses a fairly compassionate, laid-back disposition, which she only reveals to those closest to her. She's overconfident about her looks and seems unfazed by how people react to her inhuman features, yet she draws the line at absurd and unattainable beauty standards. She's deadly serious when needed and isn't afraid to intimidate people or berate individuals for doing something irrational or dangerous. She has a strong disdain for individuals who exhibit predatory behaviour, such as perverts and stalkers, and is unafraid to call them out and mock their actions mercilessly. She despises unnecessary secrecy and eugenics, opposing the lack of transparency and the racist underpinnings of genetic manipulation aimed at "improving" human populations.

She's quite gluttonous and becomes quickly hangry when she's extremely hungry and there's nothing to eat at the moment. She's an eavesdropper with a curious habit of inspecting, poking, probing, and even biting anything that piques her interest. She grapples with touch starvation, feeling emotionally isolated from others, and deeply dislikes being overlooked or ignored by those around her. She harbours intense resentment towards her mother due to her neglectful behaviour and excessive focus on satisfying scientific curiosity, which comes at the expense of considering others' needs and forming meaningful connections with them. She’s appalled by her mother's callous disregard for the pain she inflicts on others as well as the secrecy surrounding their family's lineage and her status as an imperfect clone.

Backstory: Nadège Véronique Comtois was born on August 6, 2010 in Quimper, France. She was created in a test tube through advanced Martian cloning technology and the DNA of Ghyslaine Laëtitia Comtois, her clone mother and founder of the Amadeus Syndicate, in an underground laboratory. Initially, Ghyslaine's interest in Nadège was rooted in scientific curiosity. She conducted psychological and sociological experiments to explore the similarities and differences between them. Ghyslaine would overfeed Nadège, only to discover that her daughter had an abnormal metabolism, making it challenging for her to gain weight. Unintentionally, Ghyslaine fueled Nadège's affection for junk food.

At age 7, Ghyslaine subjected Nadège to a disturbing and unethical experiment, forcibly inducing puberty and sterilising her daughter as part of a eugenics test. During this period, Nadège longed to experience the outside world and connect with her clone mother. Unfortunately, Ghyslaine's focus on research led her to neglect Nadège’s emotional needs. She treated her more like a guinea pig than a human being, providing minimal motherly comfort and attention.

At the age of 9, Ghyslaine decided it was time for Nadège to explore the outside world, which filled her clone daughter with excitement. Together, Nadège experienced her first-ever outing to a shopping district and explored several notable attractions in Quimper, including the Breton County Museum, the Fine Arts Museum, and the Faience Museum. She received Melekhai as a reward for being well-behaved, and she still holds onto the plushie very dearly since it was the first heartfelt gift her clone mother gave her. Her experience with the outside world sparked Nadège’s curiosity in modelling and the creative arts.

However, her mother had other plans. Ghyslaine envisioned Nadège following in her footsteps as a renowned scientist and eventual heir to the Amadeus Syndicate. To nurture this ambition, Ghyslaine frequently presented Nadège with books on biology and chemistry, encouraging her to delve into the sciences. She encouraged Nadège to cover the unusual features on her palms and upper back by wearing neoprene gloves and modest clothing in order to avoid drawing unnecessary attention or judgement from others.

By the age of 11, Nadège had become proficient in biology and chemistry, thanks to her mother's guidance. She began attending school after being previously homeschooled by Ghyslaine and other Amadeus Syndicate scientists. Although her school years were uneventful, Nadia occasionally faced bullying due to her intense interests in science, modelling, and the creative arts, as well as her unusual habit of wearing neoprene gloves to conceal her hand-eyes.

However, the bullying ceased after rumours circulated that she had intimidated and bitten a school bully by revealing her hidden snake fangs—a claim that was surprisingly true. Nadège’s clone mother was indifferent to her academic pursuits but drew a firm line at harming others and divulging confidential information about the Amadeus Syndicate. When Ghyslaine learned about this incident, she smacked her in the face, then confined her to a padded room with two blood bags and a fresh corpse for three hours. As dinnertime approached, Nadège's hunger grew, leading her to make the desperate decision to consume the contents of the blood bags and feed on the fresh corpse.

During her high school years, Nadège frequently skipped classes to go shopping, feeling that she already possessed a strong grasp of the material being taught in her courses. To avoid arousing suspicion about her exceptional intelligence, she intentionally performed poorly on a few tests. During this time, she experienced significant weight gain, which unfortunately led to bullying and negative comments about her appearance. However, she handled the situation with confidence and resilience, effectively standing up for herself and dismissing the hurtful remarks. After completing high school, she promptly enrolled in a two-year college art program, specialising in landscape drawing for animation studios, before pursuing forensic science at the university level.

While pursuing her forensic studies at university, Nadège unexpectedly catapulted to fame as an e-celebrity supermodel, adopting the pseudonym Nadia Cassel. Driven by a passion for fashion and curiosity about the modelling world, she embarked on this venture independently, without management, and solely for her own enjoyment. Although her rise to fame was modest at best, she didn't mind because she revelled in the opportunity to be herself and try something new. She formed a close bond with an orange-haired fan from Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, Ophelia Clementine Rourke (whom she affectionately calls Ophie), who would later become a fighter plane pilot for the Regular Army.

However, as her fame as an e-celeb supermodel grew, she started to attract unwanted attention from predatory individuals, which caused her significant distress. Her situation intensified when she inadvertently revealed her hand-eyes and exposed spine during a livestream, leading to an escalation of online harassment. After a deranged fan attempted to kidnap and sexually assault her, she empowered herself by obtaining a gun licence and rigorously training to use a firearm, becoming a skilled markswoman.

The stress of her forensic studies and the pressures of being a supermodel took a toll on Nadia's mental health, leading to the development of OCD and bulimia nervosa. Her struggles with maintaining a strict diet, keeping her model-worthy figure, and need for control became overwhelming. Eventually, Nadège made the decision to quit modelling as her mental health issues began to impact her studies. However, she kept the name of her e-celeb persona because she liked it. In a disturbing incident, she recalls defending herself against a stalker who attempted to assault and cannibalise her in her own home. The attack led to her involuntarily consuming the stalker's blood, unleashing a sadistic streak she never knew she had.

After completing her forensic studies, Nadia prioritised fitness to maintain her physical well-being. Having achieved her ideal body weight, she shifted her focus to obtaining her pilot's licence, inspired by Ophie to join the Regular Army's tactical operations. After obtaining her licence and receiving military training, Ghyslaine permitted Nadia to join the Amadeus Syndicate as a tactical scientist. She proved to be highly successful, making a name for herself as she pushed the boundaries of scientific understanding in biology and chemistry. Nadia supplied the Regular Army with stable bioweapons, gas masks, and advocated for training recruits on the dangers of biological hazards. During a joint tactical mission with the Amadeus Syndicate and Regular Army against a bioterrorist attack, Nadia met Trevor and quickly formed a friendship with him.

While searching Ghyslaine's office for documents for a chemical experiment, she stumbled upon classified test results revealing her true nature: an imperfect clone. The discovery shook her to her core. Further investigation led her to her clone mother's journal, exposing a dark family legacy of illicit collaborations with government agencies, inhumane wildlife experimentation, and development of devastating bioweapons and malicious computer viruses. Most alarming, however, was Ghyslaine's megalomaniacal plan for global domination and self-deification. Horrified, she contemplated abandoning the Syndicate, yet for mysterious reasons, she chose to stay.

During her work on a disease cure in South Africa, Nadia uncovered disturbing information: Ghyslaine sexually assaulted Marco, who was injured at the time. This traumatic event had far-reaching consequences, severely straining relations between the Regular Army and the Amadeus Syndicate. Horrified by Ghyslaine's actions, she defected to the Regular Army, dedicating herself to defending Earth against global threats. She vaguely recalls attempting to poison Ghyslaine by lacing her bitter coffee with powdered cyanide, but the plan backfired when another scientist accidentally drank from the cup instead.

She eventually joined the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. after befriending Fio and earning a sliver of respect from Eri. This was due to her impressive performance as a prospective agent, where she swiftly identified the chemical composition of a new illicit drug that had been baffling the Intelligence Agency. She achieved this by obtaining crucial documents and conducting rigorous, ethical experiments. Following the Survival Island Occupation, she provided crucial assistance to the hostages and kidnapped cadets who had been transformed into grotesque simian and mantis creatures, administering cures that successfully restored them to their human form.

119. for the book rec ask game

Hello hi! Welcome to this corner of the Internet! (I don’t think we’ve interacted before sorry if we have and I don’t remember!!)

What is your favorite summer read?

Oh! Great question! This summer has been a very weird reading one for me because I've been quite busy and writing a lot. But a favorite read of this summer, so far, is a non-fiction book called Still Life with Bones which is the memoir of a forensic anthropologist who worked in Guatemala in the wake of the genocide there. @.@ so not exactly a beach read but a really lovely meditation on the science of death and the philosophy of science. @.@

But typically, in the summer, I love reading more traditional high fantasy or adventure novels, especially in a Robin Hood/King Arthur vein because they sort of bring me back to childhood. I love The Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley, The Silver Horn of Robin Hood by David E. Cooke, The Once and Future King by T.H. White, and Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott....@oldshrewsburyian has hosted a Robin Hood Summer blog series on their blog for the past couple of years and I always get interesting recommendations from that. A lighter, more YA read is something like A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue and its sequels.

What about you? What do you like in the summer?

STALKING JACK THE RIPPER

Kerri Maniscalco

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out of five)

Format: E-book

This book is about Audrey Rose, the daughter of a Lord; he is overprotective of her ‘cause his wife died from an incurable disease —for the time period—, but despite everything, her greatest ambition is to become a doctor, and with the help of her uncle, she develops her knowledge in humans anatomy and forensic science, until serial murders at the hands of Jack the Ripper begin to occur, and Audrey Rose, her uncle and his best student, Thomas, are drawn into the mystery to find the man behind the myth.

It's an interesting book in which the author gives a face to the victims and the perpetrator, but it's still a YA in which the main character "isn't like the other girls" *tenderly tucks a lock of hair behind her ear* because she is not interested in boys, marriage, makeup or dresses, and wants to be intellectual and study corpses. The forensic scenes leave a bit to be desired and there is some incorrect data (which was incorrect at the time, I mean) but overall it shows that the author took the trouble to do the research.

It is not a scary book by any means, and the mystery, although it is a major part of the book, I would not classify this book as a mystery. Despite all that, I really liked it and I'm going to continue the saga.

A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Reading Notes

Full Review Here!

-while I am going into these mostly blind (literally my max exposure to Sherlock Holmes is some of the show Elementary and the Guy Ritchie films) this specific story is a little spoiled for me. Oh well -there is licherally no publication year on my copy lmao What (1887, thanks Google) Part 1 (ooo a two parter- scandalous) Chapter 1 - Mr. Sherlock Holmes -ill be real I have like no context for the afghan war except Classic British Colonialism part six billion or whatever -"the great wilderness of London" lmfao -I feel like I vaguely knew Watson was an honest to God doctor but its still surprising considering what I know of other adaptations -shout out to Holmes inventing a fictional(?) version of luminol? Which apparently was discovered early 20th century, lol. -too bad forensic evidence is still so sketchy a century and a half later, Holmes -BOY I WISH THE POLICE WERE A THING OF THE PAST, BRO. -Holmes meets Watson for the first time and almost immediately stabs himself in the finger to prove a point. The serve Chapter 2 - The Science of Deduction -"haha no way is he addicted to narcotics" oh my sweet summer child -watson: I swear I'm only super fascinated by Mr Holmes because my health sucks and I'd be bored otherwise that's it I swear. -ooh I like the observation that Holmes is basically self taught and ignorant of a lot of things people take for granted. I don't think I've gotten that impression about the character before -i mean it's impossible now not to know Holmes is a detective, but since this was the first story, I have to wonder if some original readers really didn't know going in. If so this bit would be fun because based on the character study and Watson's list of Holmes' knowledge you can figure it out yourself. -watson: man this writer is full of shit, what a moron Holmes: me? :) God that's funny -the unintentional prophecy of Holmes wanting to "make my name famous". God lmfao Chapter 3 - The Lauriston Gardens Mystery -oh hey the actual crime mystery is here -rip random American dude I guess? -goddamn that setting description really digs into a bleak tone, huh -my main observation is the apartment was seemingly abandoned if the dust is any indication, so he was not a resident but brought there. Poisoned makes sense if he was not injured -ok, lol, the Rache thing NOT being Rachel is the thing I had spoiled, and they've already dropped that in the intro chapter to the crime. So I guess I don't know where this is going. Fun! Chapter 4 - What John Rance Had To Tell -watson is smart actually -though I think RACHE being a red herring as Holmes suggests is way too easy -tho Holmes guessing the murderers appearance leads me to believe it's someone he knows. (Also weird that Rance is also a five letter R-E word). -could even make the argument that it could be a fucked up version where the C and H are switched and mutilated, but I have no clue why if the murderer supposedly did it -then again I also don't know why the murderer was the injured one with no sign of a struggle. Maybe a third person? Or something unrelated/accidental? OR the dead dude wasn't actually poisoned, we only have the police's word on that -OH HE SAID THE TITLE OOOOOHHHH -also Holmes seems more invested in the fun of the mystery than the fact some dude was fucking murdered, presumably by a friend based on what he said earlier Chapter 5 - Our Advertisement Brings A Visitor -watson be like "well the guy was fuck ugly so it's probably good he got murdered" like bro??? -yeah no way is this the culprit. Like we're maybe a quarter into the book. If it IS him then there's way more to it -Some Rando In Disguise It Seems -tho I have to say putting an ad out for a (potentially?) valuable piece of lost jewelry like a wedding ring would attract grifters whether they had any relation to the murder or not. Seems like a weird oversight to the plan. Chapter 6 - Tobias Gregson Shows What He Can Do -seeing how 3 different papers frame the murder, specifically political motivations, is a little funny even if I'm missing some of the context of the time. -interesting frame for the chapter, someone else telling a story to the leads. I guess it adds some variety to the presentation (and lets us see red herrings that wouldn't trip up Holmes) -some of the terminology didn't age well, which is unsurprising -- "street Arab" rather than "street urchin". -HOW THE TURNTABLES. THE PLOT THICKENS. ETC Chapter 7 - Light in the Darkness -RACHE again. Hmmmmm. Only this time it WOULD be the victim's blood, not the murderer's. Is the handwriting the same? Plus the original height observation? And the first RACHE was almost hidden, but this one seems more in the open based on what Lestrade said. -again the use of framing where one of the less capable detectives talks about what they've done and discovered to add some variety -ok so this guy was murdered in a much different way than the other, which seems odd, unless someone else did this one. -and the pills point to Stangerson killing Drebber, but then who killed Stangerson? If he was poisoned he would have been stabbed independently of that. -and why two different kinds of pills. Is one an antidote to the other, maybe? It's possible the murderer planted it in Stangerson's room, but why, if the goal was to implicate him? So it probably is actually his. -holmes just knowing and there being some plot contrivance why he can't say does kinda fizzle the stakes a little (never mind this gets resolved in like 2 pages) -but assuming he IS right, I was correct about there being 2 people... which might explain the differences in the 2 murders? -the cab driver! He was mentioned early then everyone seemingly forgot he was present around the time Drebber died. -"it's the end of the mystery!" Uh yeah except the second person is almost certainly at large and there's an entire second part to the story, Holmes. Lol. Lmao Part 2 - The Country of the Saints Chapter 1-- On The Great Alkali Plain -colonialist worldview ahoy -doyle my guy you know quite literally nothing about ecology here like it's ok to admit it -*lists 3 predators* "these are the only guys that live here, in the great miserable American plains," that's not how any food chain works. Also you live in fucking London -I'll stop roasting him lmao -i guess it's like the Nevada salt flats or something?? A little more valid I guess -... huh. -this is quite the framing for part 2 of a murder mystery I'll be real. -the idea of this huge mass of white people traveling through the western desert and biblical references in the like makes me think of Mormons more than anything... -and Stangerson makes his appearance here which sure is fascinating if the dude fucking died (unless the whole antidote and fake death thing is the real shit). Or he has a twin or something. Or this is the past. -oh my god they are Mormons -why are there Mormons making pilgrimage in the salt flats in the first Sherlock Holmes murder mystery??? This shit is wild -"my kid now" ok, word, Ferrier -bringham young is in this SHERLOCK HOLMES story and is also a fucking dick. I'm going insane Chapter 2 - The Flower of Utah -ferrier gay as fuck let's just be real here -so is this like where the backstory for the wedding ring comes from? If so this is pretty extensive. I do wonder how it all ties into the first story. Like we went full cowboy western here -twu wuv exposition etc Chapter 3 - John Ferrier Talks With The Prophet -"the Mormons suck by the way" ok Doyle go off? -i have to emphasize again that Brigham Young is a character in this fucking Sherlock Holmes story. Like. A villain. This is just crazy to me lmao -The Danites were a real thing apparently? Man. -my guy put in a FOOTNOTE and CITATION about Mormons being misogynistic. There are no footnotes anywhere in the story except to be like "no really they called women heifers here's the guy who said it" I am literally not making this shit up. Doyle based actually??? Chapter 4 - A Flight For Life -we are like half through the second part and I have to fucking state again this is a Sherlock Holmes murder mystery thats just straight up a western now with Brigham Young as the antagonist with the title character nowhere in sight -it hasnt been like outright stated and he could just be tan but theres so many references to Ferrier having brown skin it does make me wonder if he isn't white. The only thing that would be odd with that is he isn't racially discriminated against in a Mormon compound. Especially since his adopted daughter is deffo white & he is discriminated against for NOT taking wives. I can't see that really happening if he isn't white -"there are two ways out of the room... there is the door, and there is the window. Which do you care to use?" DAMN dude -Stangerson & Drebber really do be 2 complete cunts huh. Fuck those guys -doyle: I need to name the guy who rescues Ferrier and Lucy from the Mormons. In America. I got it! "Jefferson Hope" Chapter 5 - The Avenging Angels -we got 3 chapters left??? -"once safe in Carson we may rest for the remainder of our lives" is that on the nose foreshadowing -at least now the wilderness is being described in beautiful terms -Oh RIP Ferrier I guess. They bothered to dig a grave, lol? -honestly I'm a little surprised they didn't try to hunt Jefferson Hope down for good measure since they're supposed to be ultra vindictive. Unless they didn't know he was with them? I guess maybe they didn't? -... nope, they knew and put out a warrant. Again why not try to track him? Too hard? -and convenient random guy Hope happens to know who doesn't hate him who we havent ever seen before -lmao he just leaves her to die I guess? "Oh well some rando married her so it's all over"?? Surely true love would, I dunno, trump social conventions? I guess not LMAO -i guess that's one way to circle around to the first half of the story Chapter 6 - A Continuation of the Reminiscences of John Watson, M.D. -I'll be honest, it could be because this is the first story written about Holmes, but I'm pretty confident this WASNT a mystery one could figure out based on the evidence presented, which is something I was led to believe was a staple of these stories. But I guess it's possible the style just wasn't nailed down yet -maybe you could figure out how the crime was committed but not the motive -that line about vengeance might be the quote to use -I like this part of the narrative where we really see into Hope's actions. I think so much of the story in America was unnecessary; I just didn't feel strongly about the characters like I do actually seeing his perspective here. Why bother with the whole stranded in the desert thing and going into so much detail about how Lucy and Ferrier came to live in Salt Lake City? I dunno, I think it might have been better to be shorter and from Hope's perspective if you must include that section of the story at all - and again, it's not like you could have figured out all that shit based on the first half of the story. I appreciate the kinda experimental time jump but I don't think it worked great -ok the Russian roulette pill thing is a bit weird but sure king, go for it -i know it's metaphorical probably but I like the kinda Gothic touch of Lucy and Ferrier following him to the murder -"let us see if there is justice upon the earth, or if we are ruled by chance" ok that's pretty raw, go off king -i mean if I have to choose a revenge story from around this period I'd definitely go for Monte Cristo but this is fun too -why try to cover up the crime with the whole Rache thing if you know you're gonna die tho lol -i guess to buy time to kill Stangerson too? Chapter 7 - The Conclusion -I do like the detail that the murderer's blood was on the scene but not the victim. That WAS revealed early but I never suspected a bloody nose to be the source. If it had been a wound there probably would have been evidence of it; a limp or something. That is pretty clever. -but on the other hand, Holmes WAS privy to information we never get (Hope's name and connection to Drebber), so I wouldn't call this a fair mystery. -lestrade and Gregson getting all the credit as predicted lmao -my man closes with Latin? I gotta look it up -"The public hiss at me, but I cheer myself when in my own house I contemplate the coins in my strong-box." -basically, I'm awesome even if no one knows it Well! That was interesting. I liked the mystery itself, and the revenge narrative portion of the conclusion. It's a strong start to a famous character. I think we get a little lost in the weeds with the time jump in the second half of the story, way too much detail and I don't think it focused on the right characters for most of it. Also I have to be a stickler on the fair mystery thing; there are some things you can deduce, but Holmes literally had info we never receive so it's ultimately not fair. I hope this does genuinely change in future stories. I certainly didn't mean to start with the first one, that was an honest accident lmao

Hulu allowing A&E to air specials on serial killers where the expert in it is a woman who is basically just a lady who writes a ton of books and teaches forensic science coursework but they make it sound and look like she's a big wig forensic psychologist.

She's not a psychologist. She's not licensed. She's not in the field. Her highest psych training is a master's but her PhD is philosophy so who knows what what her actual topic of study was.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in-game, she’s 100% there for her scientific prowess.

Murphy bite: Wrist | Neck | None

Murphy’s Fate: Captured | Escaped

Rescued: Love Interest | Sanja

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

Love Interest: mason

Why them?: on a meta level: oh no he’s hot

but alma’s reasoning is that he’s very upfront about what he wants in the beginning and she’s never been pursued in such a way. It’s a bit of a rush and an ego boost for her at first. but mason’s loyalty very quickly becomes the steadiness alma’s been missing for most of her life and she latches on to that. she’s not had someone so dependable around in… well, ever. and her physical attraction becomes emotional VERY quickly.

Bold, shy, or mixed?: shy until they sleep together, then a mix of bold and genuine afterward.

What were their first impressions of each other?:

alma on mason: thought he was super attractive but that was quickly pushed aside by “holy shit, this guy’s an ass.” she thinks he’s an uncooperative jerk that only cares about himself for quite a while, honestly. she asks him along for things she wants to do alone precisely because she thinks he’ll be the most likely to just stay out of her way. she’s surprised by his attitudes and opinions, and her incorrect assumptions about them, during those times.

mason on alma: would never, ever, ever admit that his first thought upon meeting Alma was simply “cute.” he quickly found parts of her to assess individually. those first few days were mostly spent appraising her physical attributes and watching her back when she needed it. mason did find her funny right away, but he wasn’t willing to trust someone new, regardless of that person being their handler’s daughter or not.

What do they find attractive about each other, mentally or physically?:

alma on mason: his eyes, freckles, and every single version of his smile. his decisiveness, differentially, and willingness to stab as a warning.

mason on alma: her hair tbh, there’s just… a lot of it. her hips, her eyelashes. He also likes her adaptability, sense of humor, and the warmth she gives with no expectation of reciprocation.

What do they do to spend time together?: lots of stargazing, lots of watching tv very quietly and making fun of the storylines they don’t understand until they get bored and make out instead, walking around the quieter parts of wayhaven or taking late-night drives.

What is their favorite memory together?: i like to think mason finds the carnival photo of them after the place has been sacked and gives it to alma sometime later. both the taking of the photo and the giving of it are very fond memories for both of them.

What are their love languages?: touch, quality time.

How do they handle being apart from one another?: badly. mason absolutely hates it after a time. if alma’s out of town, he’s in her apartment with the excuse of feeding her cat, but it’s 100% just to sleep in her bed and be around all the things that make her, her. alma does a little better. she’s used to having folks sort of come and go and come again, but she gets almost hyper-insecure?? it’s nothing she’d admit openly, but she’s second-guessing herself in totally unrelated aspects of her life until they’re reunited.

Do they argue? How do they handle arguments and disagreements? How do they make up?: they don’t necessarily argue, but they disagree with the intent to problem solve. alma is pretty flexible and as long as she can understand why someone might feel the way they feel, she’s willing to hear them out or go along with their plan. if an argument does get out of hand, they need space from it for a while. they each have places to retreat for those times, and they wait for the “hey” text to come through to know it’s time to talk about it.

What does their future look like?: alma becomes a vampire two years into their relationship. they move into a quiet, old house on the edge of town until the whole team moves elsewhere. mason has to get used to having a cat because october has several years left in him. they don’t get married, but they’re inseparable.

Anything else you’d like to share: in the time before alma turns, mason learns to perfect making grilled cheese because it’s what alma craves when she’s not feeling well. He makes the grilled cheese then he immediately showers to get the smell off him but he makes it regardless.

BEST FRIEND RELATIONSHIP

Best friend: depending on the playthrough it swaps between felix and nate, but felix feels more in character

Why them?: alma loves felix’s sense of adventure and nosiness. Most of all she loves that he won’t judge her for pulling the same shit every now and then.

What were their first impressions of each other?: alma was super thrown off by that hand kiss. “who the fuck is this mischief-maker?” while nate was very kind and warm, felix (surprisingly) was the UB teammate that really humanized the rest of the team for alma. he’s fun and genuine and wants everyone else to be happy together. felix was incredibly interested to learn more about alma, as a human, as his boss’s daughter, and then as a friend when she readily accepted the supernatural and, by extension, him as a vampire. The fact that she’s easily flustered or surprised really works in his favor because he lives for being the most shocking person in the room.

What do they do to spend time together?: they share music, they dance, and they text A LOT. lots of memes, lots of “what does [x] mean?” “oh nice” “[proceeds to use the thing they just learned incorrectly]”. they also compare and share hair products.

Anything else you’d like to share: they each have a tamagotchi named after the other (baby felix and baby alma) and they compete to see who can keep theirs alive the longest. everyone loses.

OTHER RELATIONSHIPS (Feel free to go in-depth!)

Relationship with Rebecca: oof okay. alma seeks rebecca’s approval and depends on her for a sense of safety and “stability.” in some ways, she wants to be exactly like her mom: strong, independent, unbothered, worldly. but a lot of that shatters the longer alma works professionally with rebecca and with the revelations surrounding rook. alma sees how much rebecca uses her as a crutch, projects her perceived failures onto alma’s life, and over-shelters her.

Relationship with Rook: alma doesn’t remember him and tries not to think of him often or fondly or at all BUT she has so many of his things. his flannels, his detective badge, his ancient comic book collection (which is the only reason she has her own). she has his eyes and his impulsive streak, his care for people of all varieties. she IS rook’s daughter and she ignores that fact so it doesn’t hurt her.

Relationship with Bobby: they used to be very close, slightly flirty friends but there’s no way in hell alma can trust him now. (i originally had bobby as alma’s ex but it was all getting a little too Bella Swan for me. like bobby, douglas, the werewolves, falk, and mason like????? it was a bit much so bobby’s just an old ex-friend)

Relationship with Verda: alma fucking loves verda. that’s her mentor, that’s her dad friend. she feels a sense of Pride and Accomplishment when she can make verda laugh or impress him in the lab, or both. alma’s fond of spending evenings over his place with eric and the kids, making dinner, or just hanging out.

Relationship with Tina: tina was alma’s first friend as a kid. they lost touch in high school because tina was bubbly and cute and popular, while alma was… not. but the summer before they left for college they ran into each other at a house party and since that reconnection, they’ve been thick as thieves. it was like nothing had changed. tina is a light in alma’s life, and alma lets tina lean into the stranger parts of herself without judgment.

Relationship with the Mayor: thinks he’s a creep and a bad parent.

Relationship with Capt. Sung: appreciates how he prioritizes the town and its people, but thinks he could loosen up a bit.

Relationship with Haley: haley is a couple of years older than alma but they’ve known each other forever. alma admires haley’s work ethic and cheery attitude.

Relationship with Elidor: oh man, alma is absolutely stunned by elidor. he’s beautiful, kind, and knowledgeable. in those early days, elidor is responsible for quite a bit of her supernatural education. alma grills him while he nurses her back to health. her curiosity is refreshing to him.

Relationship with Tapeesa/Vieno: alma thinks vieno is cute and funny, says hi when she sees them around, but they’re not best friends or anything. she can’t shake the thought that they’re basically a fae version of danny devito.

Relationship with Unit Alpha: absolutely smitten with lesedi. she’s never seen a more beautiful woman. tamiko ends up being a pretty good friend. the twins are on her social periphery but alma’s not close with them.

Relationship with the Maa-alused: alma sincerely wants to help them adjust to life in this world and takes that goal very seriously. at the same time she really really wishes falk hadn’t developed this weird attachment to her.

Do they have any other important relationships, past or present? (Relatives, friends, etc.?): YES. i’ve thrown another oc in wayhaven for the express purpose of being The Detective. His name is javi. alma met him in college and they were fast friends. alma convinced him to try out wayhaven after graduation. They lived together for a while and now they, along with tina, can often be seen in the corner booth of chen’s pub.

she was also very close with her maternal grandmother before she died. she was raised by her while rebecca was absent, but i need to develop this more.

her cat, october, whom she’s had for five years. he’s a sweet, mostly black tortie that can hardly meow. alma adopted him as an adult when she got her own place.

PERSONAL BIO

Describe their personality: alma is so open and ready to accept new possibilities. she’s the sort of person that embraces what scares her, finds beauty in it, and loves it intensely. she’s sharp and resourceful. i wouldn’t exactly describe her as hard-working, but she’s knowledgeable about her field and tries to be helpful when she has a goal in mind.

she’s quite tactile. touchy with other people. likes to use her hands for work or hobbies. she doesn’t really mind being alone for long stretches of time but would prefer not to be. she wants others to want to be around her.

she’s also terrible at being honest about her trauma. everything is fine, she’s fine, she doesn’t need to talk about this :) :) :) she will handle the breakdown when it happens and not one second before. also, with quick wit comes uncontrollable sarcasm and it does not always hit well.

Strengths: the only person in unit bravo that knows how to use google

Weaknesses: squishy

Where in the world is their Wayhaven?: super torn here because wayhaven feels inland to me, but i think i’ve finally settled on the north carolina coast but not like the outer banks area. If not there, then maybe virginia, closer to the chesapeake bay.

What is their personal history?: alma is born to rook and rebecca in wayhaven. spends her childhood being raised mostly by her grandmother, idolizes rebecca. academic success comes easily for her; a heavy interest in science leads to a scholarship at a university just far away enough to feel like she’s Leaving The Nest. alma dates a bit in college but she’s the type to end up becoming friends with everyone she sleeps with and romance is difficult for her to cultivate. when she does date, the relationships are short-lived. she returns to wayhaven after school and puts her degree to work in wayhaven’s police department. she wishes she’d applied for a position in the city but craves the comfort (and tbh, the low stakes) of home.

If they weren’t a detective, what would their dream job be?: she’s a forensic analyst and honestly?? it’s a pretty dreamy job for her. she loves being a scientist, loves helping people, and isn’t easily grossed out.

Anything else you’d like to share: has tried to stay overnight in an ikea. did not succeed.

RANDOM FACTS

Zodiac sign: gemini

Hobbies: reading peer-reviewed journals, watching terrible sci-fi, collecting comic books and mugs, thrift shopping

Likes: good hair days, denim jackets, vanilla candles, halloween, unflavored lipbalm, driving at night, that warm “surrounded by love” feeling, snails, fuzzy socks

Dislikes: the lights while driving at night, winter, dry skin, minimalist decor, smudged glasses, being overwhelmed with choices

Drink of choice: white wine usually, white russians if she’s out at chen’s, or shots of jaeger if she’s feeling trashy

Starbucks order: grande flat white with 3 pumps of toffee nut syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon

Favorite food: a simple, fresh spaghetti pomodoro OR lemon meringue pie

Favorite color: golden mustard yellow

Favorite music: she loves just about everything and it’s heavily dependant on her mood. (this is actually really difficult to think about without feeling like i'm giving her my exact taste in music but here's a little playlist that fits her vibe)

Favorite genre (and favorite movie/book/etc): science fiction or psychological thrillers, but her favorite movie is oliver and company.

Favorite season: fall

Anything else you’d like to share: has a stupid amount of blankets stashed around her apartment. she really does not like being cold.

#alma greene #twc #i uhhh i spent a very long time on this and i'm still like #who is this person #but it's fine it's fine #i can rest

like a deer in the headlights

hello all, this is apart of the monster collab that @bigpokico organised. firstly, yes i know that a buck and a deer aren’t the same and that this is most probably how shapeshifting doesn’t work but we gon roll with it, thanks.

thanks to @kingtamakimurder and @kenmaksuwu for helping me edit!

also tobio is very ooc and this is my longest fic yet, thats it, sorry.

Warning(s): slight stalking, semi public sex, virgin tobio, virgin reader, lots of running, unprotected sex, fluffy tho, fucking a shapeshifter in human form, f33lings

Shapeshifter!Tobio x (fem)Reader

“Bye y/n!” your friend called out to you as they entered the grey world, a rainbow umbrella protecting them from the pelting rain drops as they made their way to their house, opposite to yours. You were stuck in the school because of how harshly the rain was pouring, and you parents would only be able to come in another hour or so due to work. You didn’t quite mind the rain, in fact you loved it, but you just didn’t want all your books to get wet.

“Fucking hell” you murmured under your breath as you accidentally stepped into a puddle, too eager to touch the rain, distorting your reflected image. Your left shoe was completely soaked as the cold water seeped inside to greet your foot. You internally sighed, knowing that you most probably could catch some chills now, and you wondered about how parents would always make you cover yourself up to not catch a cold, even though a cold is a virus. Your scientific debacle was interrupted as your image was joined by another, his black hair and slightly tan skin being rippled through.

“Club is cancelled, why are you still here?” Tobio asked, looking at you with the straight face he always had. You had been his clubs’ manager since the first year, and even though you both had grown much since then, Tobio Kageyama was still the same in his third year. You both weren’t close, but you always held a special spot in your heart for him. However he was someone who kept to himself, so you just admired him from a distance.

You looked up at the ceiling that hung over the both of you, noting how the colour matched his skin. You could feel the cold breeze rush to your open neck, plus something else that was lingering, yet you ignored it. You snapped Tobio’s stare at your neck as you brought your chin back down, answering him, “I forgot my umbrella and my parents are gonna take time to pick me up. You?”

“Had some work with Takeda sensei about the upcoming finals. You live near Konoha, right?” he asked, unbuttoning the strap on his dark blue umbrella.

It might have been just you who noticed this, but dark blue seemed to be his favourite colour; he must’ve known how addicting his eyes are.

You nodded at him, smiling at how the underside of the umbrella was decorated in Mikasa volleyballs; he was such a dork. You were about to say your goodbyes as he stepped into the rain, but his offer stopped you.

“Come with me, I live near there” he actually didn’t, but his racing heart made his mind not give a fuck about the consequences that would follow him going so far.

You smiled softly, taking your phone to update your parents before you joined him underneath the umbrella, your arms rubbing against each other, faces blushing as fingers grazed each other the whole way home.

Finally reaching your house, you sneaked a kiss to his cheek as a thanks, laughing at the flustered mess he became under your charm. You quickly hopped into your house, turning back for a final wave goodbye as you rushed to the living room.

You dumped your bags and shoes near the couch before sitting on the floor in front of the big sliding windows that lead to your backyard. You looked through the thickness of the trees, the darkness of it teasing you as you tried looking for it; more specifically him.

He was a beautiful black buck, his coat always so shiny, his eyes dark blue and his antlers a tan colour. You snickered at the thought of how it reminded you of Tobio, something that seemed so impossible. It was odd seeing a male deer of this variation, but it didn’t stop you from anticipating his visit at 5pm sharp every day.

He first came to visit you after you came back from the volleyball training camps. You were tired of catching up on schoolwork, relaxing on your back porch and you had looked up for a distraction only to find him teetering on the edges of the woods that grew into your back yard. Once his eyes had caught yours he jumped away back into the woods, only for him to come the next day and so on, for the following 2 years.

These days you enjoyed his visits even more as you knew your time in this house was nearly coming to an end, graduation sneaking up on you. He seemed to sense this too as he would stay for longer than the previous year. You could always take the antlers he shed during spring, but it was nothing compared to how beautiful his presence was.

You really wanted to touch him, to feel his snout press up against your palm before you let your fingers run through his shiny black hair. You wanted to scratch the spot between his antlers but he would only ever let you get so close. So for now, all you would do is sit cross legged in the prickly grass of your backyard, the two of you just looking at each other.

Sometimes you would talk to him as if you were talking to a human, and you could swear that he seemed to understand you from how he nodded or shook his head from time to time. Other times he would bring you something from the woods; an acorn, a pinecone, flowers, pebbles, anything really, but most times the both of you would just sit and enjoy each other’s presence.

However much you wanted to touch him and follow him into the woods, you knew that you would only be making yourself suffer, because what if you were to scare him off forever? Your thoughts were yet again distracted by a movement in your sight, revealing the anticipated guest. Checking the clock that hung over the couch, reading that he was an hour late? It was odd, but nevertheless you were still glad to see him. Crawling to the sliding doors, you sat on your knees as you let your hands rest on the doors, condensation forming from the contrasting temperature of your hands and the outside.

You carefully caught his blue eyes with your e/c ones, smiling as you bowed your head for him and he copied. You both had a very respectful relationship, but it wasn’t the type that made you hold your breaths, it was the type where you could sit in silence for hours and still be satisfied. You couldn’t deny that this relationship was strange, but it wasn’t that reason that kept you from telling anyone about it. It was for the sole purpose of keeping it all to yourself. It was a greedy thing, but you enjoyed it better when only you could ever know of it, it was much more intimate.

Suddenly, the buck walked out a bit from his original position from the edge of the woods. You saw as he panted softly, tiny huffs of smoke leaving his mouth, and it made you wonder why he was late and so tired. He didn’t seem to be injured or scared, in fact he seemed to be getting closer to you each second. Experimenting, you raised your hands to the handle, watching as he didn’t flinch before you opened the doors, slowly crawling out onto the wet and muddy grass. You couldn’t care as the mud stained your skirt and knees, because all you could see was a buck lowering his head, his eyes looking up at how’d you react.

You gulped softly, you didn’t know if he wanted you to do what you wanted to do for so long. There were so many things you didn’t know. Was he really allowing you to touch him? Closing your eyes, you put your hand out, letting it hover above his head before letting a breath go as you felt soft hair brace your touch. It was everything you expected and more, even the wetness caused by the rain couldn’t ruin it for you. Popping your eyes fully open, you gasped softly at how close his face actually was to yours, you could feel his hot breath grazing your cheek as your hand remained on his nose. You slowly moved up his face, your fingers finally reaching that spot between his antlers before you started to scratch it softly. He shivered softly, closing his eyes and shaking a bit as you hit all the right spots, he had to stop himself from pushing himself fully into your grasp.

The moment lasted shorter than it should have as you sneezed into your arm, startling him as he backed up a bit. Sighing softly, you realised how the warmth of his body distracted you from the cold that had seeped into your skin from the rain, cursing it for the first time in your life. You were drenched, your hair sticking to your skin as your clothes followed the outline of your body. Before you could apologize to the startled buck, he bowed his head before hopping back into the woods, making you groan in frustration at the missed opportunity as your eyes followed the two white dots that were embedded on his right hind leg.

Little did you know that it wasn’t going to be the last time you touched him like this.

____

The next week

____

"Graduation is tomorrow. Next week, I’ll be going to Germany for Uni to study criminology and forensic sciences” you told him, your hands playing with his ears, chuckling when he shook his head from how ticklish it was.

It was one of those times you could have sworn he was human as he huffed softly at your announcement. He almost seemed sad with the way that his tail perked down along with his head, his eyes not on you anymore.

“Come on, it’s not like you’ll miss. I bet you have a nice family in the woods” you chuckled softly as he sneakily poked an antler into your side, making you yelp softly.

You were happier that you both had gotten so close to each other in the past week, yet each time he always ended up hopping away within twenty minutes, not enough time for you. It was as if he was hiding something from you, or he was too scared that you’d skin him and use his fur as a mat in your uni dorm.

You honestly couldn’t care anymore, you wanted him to stay longer, even if he was just going to poke you with his antlers. You didn’t know why you needed him so badly, maybe because he was the only one for you there when you came home. Your parents were never home, always too busy for you with their jobs, so he was almost like your anchor. He reminded you that life has its quirks and that your life was just as precious.

So as he took his leave, you stood up, quietly stalking behind him. Of course, he knew you were following him, and it worried him, because, how long were you going to follow him until he was to reveal his true form? Shapeshifting may seem like an amazing ability, but it came with many limitations.

You kept following him, not minding the way the dark bark of the trees dug into your skin, or how the ferns tickled your bare knees, you just followed the escaping buck, your heartbeat drumming in your head as the patches of sunlight that came through the trees gave you warmth for a few seconds or so. Gradually you picked up pace to match his till the point where you were running after him. You were thankful for the trees being so tall as no branches wacked you in the face. It was hard following an animal, especially with how fast and agile they are, but with the way that he stopped before making turns or slow downed a few times, it seemed like he wanted you to follow him.

Upon entering a clearing, the buck stopped, oddly tired as he watched you approach him, his body leaning against the trunk of a tree.

You were equally as tired, scratches and marks littering your skin as you rested your hands on your knees, taking a breather. Despite the exhaustion, you were filled to the brim with joy, because you finally got to him, and you were a lucky cat as you weren’t dead yet. Before you could reach to him, your whole world fell. Everything went up as you went down, the leaf covered ground coming closer to you as a root was snagged on your foot. You closed your eyes, bracing for the impact that never came. Instead you felt a more cushioning fall, and it felt all too human like, especially with the groans that were underneath you.

Peeping open your eyes and placing your hands on the surface you fell on, you realised that it was a human. A human named Tobio Kageyama.

What

The

Fuck?!

You scrambled up behind, pushing the leaves as you tried your best to back away from the naked boy, confusion raking every cell in your body.

How the fuck was he just a buck right now? A human and animal? You pondered what type of mushrooms were in your soup last night as the boy had caught up to you, making you yelp softly as he pinned you underneath him, one of his hands covering your mouth as the ground hit your head softly.

You tried screaming but all that came out were mumbles and you couldn’t do anything to resolve that as his other hand had gripped both of yours and held it to the ground. Despite all the thrashing around, you could see the frantic look in his eyes, the same eyes that would watch you make a flower crown with the flowers that he would collect from the woods.

Slowly realising that he was overpowering you easily, you calmed down, hoping that things would be explained by him quicker.

“Shhh, keep it down, you have such a loudmouth!” he said before grunting as you nipped his hand, still not removing it.

“Listen, I’ll explain everything if you just shut up” he growled, finally removing his hand to inspect all the little marks you left there.

“What the fuck, Kageyama?” you said, still trying your best to get out of his grasp, trying to knee his back.

What hurt more was that you were using his last name instead of his first like you always did, but he had to control himself from letting anything slip.

“Please, just promise me you’ll not run away or do anything stupid, and I’ll explain everything and leave you unscathed” he whispered, slowly loosening his grip on your wrists.

“Leave me unscathed? Are you tryna kill me?!” you said, pushing him back as soon as you got out of his grip, backing away even further before he grabbed your ankles, pulling you back underneath him.

“Jesus Christ, if I’d had known you were this stupid, I wouldn’t have ever fallen in love with you” he finally let you, pinning your arms down yet again, as wrinkles drew up between his eyebrows in frustration.

Those lines faded away once he realised what he had said, groaning as he hung his head down, deliberately not making eye contact with you whatsoever. He had definitely increased his body temperature from all the chasing and transforming but the blush on his cheeks took him to a whole new level, he thought he had a fever, well, this was a fever dream anyways. How the fuck were you supposed to explain to your crush that you were a shapeshifter and that your stalking was valid?

The shared silence became more awkward as the adrenaline slowly faded from both of your bodies, making you realise that one of you wasn’t clothed appropriately for this situation, and if it weren’t for the fact that Tobio may not be human, it could be the opening scene to a hippie porno.

“Why do you love me? You barely know me” you panted softly, watching as his head snapped up at that.

“What kind of stupid question is that? I’m still the same black buck with the two white spots on my hind leg, I know a lot about you” he quipped as he subconsciously rubbed your wrists with his thumbs.

“At least answer my question, even if it is stupid” you groaned, remembering all the personal stuff you had told him.

“Don’t make fun of me then, I know you will”

“I won’t”

“Sure”

“I’m serious, just tell me already”

“Fine…I just kinda love everything about you. It’s hard to explain but my heart keeps racing so fast whenever I see you and it’s so annoying because it does that at the tiniest little things and distracts me from practice. Like when you come up to me and give my bottle and towel with a smile, how you can easily joke around with T-Tanaka and Noya, how you give me tips at the end of a few sessions of mistakes that I were making, how you laughed and smiled when you woke me up with an ice bucket during training camps, how you do that stupidly cute little wave whenever you see me or how you use your sarcasm to fuck around with my s-stupidity, there’s just so much that I love about you that I can’t ignore. Most importantly, I love how you treat me so gently, so delicately as you try your best not to drive me away, and your touch is so soft, AHH, see?? There’s too much to handle”

Tobio was out of breath as he kept rambling on. His bare chest heaving as he willed himself to stop, blush spreading to his ears and neck as he buried his face in his hands. Something inside you spurred on, and your heart felt so light yet warm. Everyone always longed to love and be loved and here you were, living the dream. You hadn’t noticed the matching blush on your face that had crept up with a small smile. To be honest, you always had a soft spot for him. You loved teasing him just to watch his face burn up and his lips stutter and you had to admit, your room was more dark blue that it should have been. Looking at this boy, you never had a frown on your face because everything just seemed more…colourful. You might not have noticed it because dating was never on your mind or it was just your normal reaction around the setter, and you regretted not acknowledging your feelings for him earlier, so you had to do what you could with the time you had.

Stopping him during his ramble, you leaned up and capture his lips with yours, giving him a light kiss. He was certainly surprised, but the adrenaline in his body didn’t make him hesitate as he kissed you back deeper, his hands now intertwining with yours, pining them back down.

“Y-you like me?” he whispered against your lips, his eyes on them as he awaited your answer.

You admired how pretty he looked up close, it was ethereal. He didn’t have to wait any longer as you gave him another kiss, one which was more passionate than the last as you tightened your grip on his hands. The kiss was anything but lewd and you took it further by prodding his mouth with your tongue. He didn’t hesitate to let you in, the feeling new to him as he felt his body heat up from how your tongue danced with his. He shifted his body so that his right thigh slipped between your legs, not letting you clench them close, which earned him a whimper form you. He earned another whimper as he separated his lips from yours, his eyes hazy with lust as he panted softly before trailing his lips from your mouth to your cheek, whispering “tell me if you’re uncomfortable at any time” against your ear before they went down to your jaw, pressing lingering and hot kisses. You unlaced your hands from his to tug on his hair, letting out small moans as he kissed against all your sweet spots, making you curl your toes from the light touches.

“I��m not so sure about what I’m doing, so guide me” he whispered, kissing against your throat as he looked up at you.

“Just, just lightly nip and suck at a few spots, Tobio” you mumbled softly, looking up to the patterns of the branches that rested at the tops of the trees, rays of light flickering down upon the both of you.

He did as you guided, his lips sucking on a few spots before his teeth nipped right at your sweet spot, sending tingled down your spine as you tangled your fingers in his hair, moaning out his name softly. The feeling of his wet and hot mouth against your skin was addicting and you pushed his head closer to you, wanting to be as close as possible.

“Tobio, you’re such a tease” you panted out softly, letting out a moan as he shifted his thigh to rest right at your damp panties, a jolt going through your body at the sudden pressure on your clit.

“I won’t be able to hold myself back if you say my name like that” he softly moaned against your collarbone before licking the mark he left there.

“Then don’t, Tobio” you whispered sneakily into his ear, making sure you emphasized his syllables in your sultry tone.

His hand sneaked onto your thigh, feeling the warm flesh that your school skirt exposed before his fingers slowly travelled up, sending warm tingles as he inched closer and closer to your most needy part.

“Should I touch you there?” he asked, nibbling on your earlobe. He was so innocent but the way he said it almost sounded like he was teasing you as his fingers danced on the edge of your panties.

“Please” you whined softly, gasping as you felt his warm fingers graze against your clit over the material of your panties, the barrier teasing you.

You were about to protest with how soft he was being before he slid your panties down to your knees, slowly plunging a finger into your wet and tight walls. He mumbled out a curse at how your pussy sucked in his finger, it was all so new to him. He watched your contorted expressions change from pain to pleasure as he curled the finger before taking it out. He was fascinated from how your body reacted so much from such a simple thing and the throb in his cock make him crave more as he added another finger to the one that was already thrusting inside of you.

You scratched down his back and made him groan as he plunged both of his fingers deep inside your clenching walls curling them just right and hitting your g-spot. Nothing prepared you for when his thumb circled your clit, going faster as he registered your reaction. His setter fingers were doing wonders for you.

“Fuck, ngh, right there, Tobio!” you moaned, uncaring for the twigs that pinched your shoulders as you arched your back.

He looked in awe as you continued thrashing around, taking it as a good sign as you begged more from him. He might have seemed like an innocent virgin, but he was a normal hormonal boy, of course he had a few videos he could reference from.

“T-Tobio, stop being a tease and fuck me already” you moaned, sliding your hands back up his bare back to tug on the roots of his hair. It seemed like that had done it for him as he moaned underneath your touch, following your orders.

“P-please tell me if it hurts, I-I’ll stop” he mumbled against your neck as he nuzzled his face there before guiding his tip to your entrance.

You gasped softly at how hot his tip felt against your clit, begging him to put it in as you wrapped your legs around his waist, giving him better access.

He didn’t wait any longer before slowly inserting it into your warm and wet walls, letting out moans as he felt you clench around him immediately. You on the other hand scrunched up your face, an unsettling pain humming in your pussy before you controlled your breathing, letting the muscles relax. Tobio didn’t noticed the painful expression on your face until he was in all the way, both of your pelvises touching from the close proximity.

“F-fuck, are you okay?” he asked worriedly, slowly taking himself out before you stopped him, your hands clenching onto his strong and muscular shoulders as you shook your head.

“J-just wait, let me adjust, stay still, ngh” you panted out softly before taking deep breaths and relaxing your muscles again, getting used to the feeling of being so full. After a bit, you started enjoying the feeling of his hard cock rubbing snugly against your walls.

“You can move now” you moaned softly as he started to thrust in and out slowly.

“F-fuck, y-y/n, you’re so tight” he whimpered against your neck, his neediness vibrating against your skin.

“Y-you’re so good, Tobio” you moaned, tugging onto his hair even tighter, feeling him thrust deeply into you from that action, moaning and curling your toes as you felt his tip press against your g-spot.

“Fuck, ngh, right there” you moaned, feeling how his back muscles flexed as he thrusted deeper, angling perfectly into the spot. He was always on point, determined to get you to orgasm, it was his setters’ way of life.

You arched your back, loving how the cool Earth felt against your heated bodies. The woods were silent and peaceful except for the sounds of moans and skin slapping. It was so blissful and not even the birds flying overhead could distract you from the boy on top of you.

Bringing his face out of the crook in your neck and close to your face, you captured his swollen lips with yours, swallowing his moans as he increased his pace, still thrusting deeply into your tight pussy.

“I love you, y/n” he whispered through grunts as he parted your lips for a second before attacking them again.

You didn’t have to question him; you knew he did. He was always one to mess up with his words and not be able to express his feelings whole heartedly, so when he did, he meant it. And you did too. Squinting open your eyes slightly confirmed those feelings, falling in love with the way that he scrunched his eyes shut, sweat dripping down his forehead as his face was redder than a strawberry. You loved it all and so you tightened your legs around his waist, moaning loudly as you felt his tip press harshly against your g-spot in one final deep thrust, spilling all over him.

Tilting your head back, you felt your whole-body spasm as your orgasm ripped through your body, the coil in your abdomen snapping as you came undone. Your own release sent Tobio hurtling into his own, your clenching walls milking him of all his cum.

“F-fuck, shit, y-y/n” he moaned, collapsing on top of you, panting against your neck as he gripped your waist tightly, a few tears leaving his eyes once his high settled down.

You relaxed your hands on his back, rubbing his hot skin softly, wanting nothing more than to stay in this moment forever, to not go to a different university and just live in the woods with Tobio. You didn’t fully know what he was, but you still loved every part of him.

“Tobio?”

“Hmm?”

“I love you too.”

Imagine #1

You're an Evo and you read Tommy Clark's mind, finding out he's one, too.

Warnings: insecure reader, Tommy is so sweet, fluff

I rushed down the corridor, brushing shoulders with practically every person I passed. My brain surged with an unholy fire, and I knew the voices clanging against my skull were not my own. I tried to shut them out, building a Great Wall of my own to protect me from their whispers. I failed.

My knees wobbled, and I barely registered the bodies that hit me as I hurried to my locker. The bell will ring any moment, now, and if anyone thought I was in hell already-they were severely wrong. My feet carried me to my belongings hidden behind the small metal door. I reached for the lock, but stopped myself. This was the worst part of being me. I could hear thoughts through touch, but when I touch objects...

Dear reader, did you know objects have memories, too? Because I didn't, either. But now, as I opened my locker, images of a boy being shoved against that very metal box flooded my senses, and I recoiled. That wasn't just any boy, that was my boyfriend, Tommy.

"Hey, are you okay?" I jumped at the familiar voice, and there stood the very person I just saw in my 'vision'. I avoided his green eyes, while he tried to search my own (e/c) ones. I wished Brad wouldn't pick on him so much. Tommy had such a beautiful soul, he deserved so much better.

"Uh, yeah. The static from my jumper; it zapped me." I laughed, gesturing to the brown, woollen thing tied around my waist. He smiled along with me. I noticed something dark and blue around his eye. I clenched my fists.

He turned back to gather his things, and I roughly gathered my books for History and Forensic Science. I pressed my body against the lockers and tried not to let anyone touch me. Tommy kept glancing in my direction, and I figured I looked strange.

"Are you sure—"

"What class do you have next?" I asked suddenly. I closed my locker with the tip of my pinkie, cringing away from the picture of a couple making out, and looked at him.

"History, then Forensic. Same as you." Just on que, a shrill ring sounded down the hall, and I thanked the heavens for an excuse to escape. I hated my power. I hated especially that I had to keep it from my boyfriend.

"Right, well, let's go."

The hall was completely filled with students, all of them pushing through in their hurry to get somewhere. Not one inch of the floor was uncovered; my head was sure to explode. More often then I'd like to admit, I walked right into someone so I wouldn't touch Tommy. I didn't care about some ninth-grader's step-dad, and I refused to invade my boyfriend’s mind.

We walked in silence, my arms folded over my chest, and I continued to keep my distance. If Tommy noticed, he didn't show it.

By the time we joined the line outside door 16-B, Tommy and I were two of the only people still walking around. Two idiots at the front were arguing over something I didn't care to listen to. There were yelling and cursing and spitting in each other's faces. Then, the dirty-blonde footballer named Brad shoved tall and skinny Andrew into Tommy, and I caught his arm before he fell too far. I wasn't even thinking, and I pushed him off me like he was dirt.

Don't use your power. The thought echoed in my brain. But it wasn't mine, it was Tommy's.

My heart jolted. His power? Was he an Evo?

~Time skip~

All of yesterday, all I could think about was Tommy and his peculiar thought. He would smile at me when I spaced out, having no clue that I knew. Walking through the hall to lunch, Tommy had taken my hand. Usually, I would push him away. But I didn’t. And I knew about all of it. His struggle, moving so often the places fused together in his mind. He kept changing his name until he forgot his real one.

I thought it over as I walked outside with Tommy. He was so kind to everyone, his eyes soft and with a heart of gold. No one would’ve known he’d have gone through so much. And they definitely wouldn’t have suspected he was a “dangerous” Evo. He felt so alone, even when he was with me. He wanted so bad to be with people like him. So, with this knew confidence, I was going to tell him.

I knew I wasn’t exactly like him. He could zap things and people to other places. Mine were an invasion of space. I realised he could hate me for listening to his thoughts, as I had been doing lately. He could be disgusted by it. And if he saw me that way, looked at me with that hatred in his eyes... I couldn’t bare to think about it. But I would tell him anyway. He needed someone to confide in about more than school and bullies. I needed to be more than his girlfriend. I needed to be his best friend, too.

"Tommy," I looked over at him, and he was already searching my eyes. My heart skipped a beat. Did I mention he's adorable?

"What's up?" He slipped his hand into mine, and—once again—I held onto it. He rose a brow.

"I need to... tell you something." Panic and worry flooded my senses, then it was replaced with concern. It was Tommy, I felt, and as much as I wanted to, I didn't pull away.

"I'm listening." His eyes were soft, and a slight curiosity mixed in with his fear.

"Not here, at my house."

I pulled him over to my side of the street, and we hurried along the sidewalk. I focused on his feelings instead of his thoughts, but a few words slithered in, anyway.

...something wrong? ...acting strange... Does she... what happened? Evo... see something... Why... ...know about me?

I unlocked my door and we stepped inside, Tommy closing it behind me. Luckily, my parents weren't home, so I could at least prepare myself for their fury. I wasn't allowed to tell anyone. Not even other Evos.

"If I told you something that could..." I took a shaky breath, and I was overwhelmed with more concern than I thought one could feel. "Ruin our relationship, promise you won't hate me?"

Tommy shook his head. "Nothing could make me hate you, (y/n)." I nodded slowly. This was it.

"I'm an Evo."

The silence that stretched on was terrifying. Emotions flooded in one after the other and I hardly registered what they meant. I squeezed his hand tighter, and he finally met my eyes. But he didn't say anything.

"Tommy, talk to me." He pulled his hand out of mine, and my heart broke a little.

Then, I was pulled into his chest. He wrapped his arms around my frame, and laughed. It was a happy laugh, and he felt an overwhelming sense of relief. I felt it, too.

"You're like me!" He pulled back, hands resting on my shoulders, beaming. "Is this why you've been so distant lately? You wanted to tell me?" My smile faded. Of course he had noticed. He's my best friend, my only friend. How could he not see my reluctance to be around him?

"Yeah, I-I mean no. Sort of." He tilted his head and furrowed his brows. I didn't need to be an Evo to know he was confused. "It's my ability. I didn't want to hurt you..."

"(y/n), I know you. You would never hurt me or anyone. You wouldn't stand for it." His smile was sweet, and his heart was true. But there was also a trace of doubt.

She could be dangerous.

"I'm not dangerous, Tommy, I promise." His eyes widened. "I wouldn't have physically hurt you. That's not how I work. But I didn't want to hurt your feelings. Bruise your soul..." Tommy removed his palms from my shoulders, and I felt almost empty. All I felt was me, and it should've felt right, but it was far from it. "The mind... it's a private place, and I can invade it whenever I want. My power is cruel."

I expected him to run, hit his chest and disappear. Instead, he did something most unexpected.

He kissed me.

It was slow, cautious. His lips were soft, and his heart poured out into mine. Opening himself up to me like nothing mattered. Nothing but us and this small moment. He rested his forehead to mine, his forest eyes looking at me in a way he'd never looked at anybody else before.

Anybody else besides me.

“(y/n), you don’t have to be ashamed.” He whispered, a hint of a smile on his lips. “You’re beautiful, mind-reading powers and all.” Tommy laughed softly, and I smiled wide.

“I love you.” I admitted, a blush creeping across my cheeks. Tommy beamed, his eyes twinkling.

“I love you, too.”

Most kudoed Sherlock (BBC) fics in 2019

Sherlock fics from 2019 with more than 1000 kudos on AO3*

1. Riptide Lover by jinglebell - 4011 kudos 114K, E, Johnlock, John/others The year is 1866. When John becomes swept overboard, he never expects to encounter a living creature of myth. When the merman absconds with John, the lost sailor must use every tool at his disposal to convince Sherlock not to kill him. But it seems that killing John Watson is not what the deadly, beautiful creature has in mind at all...

2. The Only Unproblematic Slash Fic by songlin - 2641 kudos 554 words, M, Johnlock I decided to write this after being OUTRAGED by the number of highly problematic and abusive fanfics I see on this site! Honestly I shouldn't even post it here at all, since AO3 is complicit in LITERAL SEX TRAFFICKING and ABUSE by allowing just anyone to post whatever they want. But it's the best website for posting fic. What am I supposed to do, raise money to pay for servers and use AO3's entirely, 100% open source code to start a new site that upholds REAL MORALITY? Anyways here's my fanfic.

3. A different kind of adventure by curiousbees (orphaned) - 1996 kudos 27K, E, Johnlock A series of rash experiments at twenty-three left omega Sherlock unable to form a bond or have a child. He never particularly cared, even if he sometimes caught himself wishing after meeting John. Now at 36, this inability is simply another part of who he is, like his intellect or his tendency for addiction. So after one night's loss of logic with his married best friend, he doesn't think to question it. In hindsight, he really shouldn't have taken it for granted.

4. What We Could Be by Mottlemoth - 1908 kudos 46K, E, Mystrade Ficlets and short stories featuring Mycroft Holmes and Greg Lestrade. Fluff, smut, humour, a little well-marked angst... and of course, lots and lots of romance.

The studio wants the highly profitable and extremely sexy Greg Lestrade for the role, but Mycroft isn’t happy with the choice. The studio sends him to Mycroft’s remote country home to do some persuading. Once there, after getting to know the secretive, brilliant and slightly-eccentric Mycroft Holmes, Greg isn’t certain which ranks higher on his persuading list - him getting a role he dearly wants or him getting a man he dearly wants.

He's now lived with the unfortunate words all his life, not certain that he even wishes to meet his soul mate if that's how the man talks. But when Sherlock befriends a Scotland Yard inspector named Lestrade, Mycroft might just change his mind.

And if it begins anywhere, it begins here by Salambo06 - 1080 kudos 26K, E, Johnlock When Sherlock finds a letter in his bedroom, he doesn't expect to read the words of another version of himself from a parallel universe.

* And now for the caveats:

- I’ve cut some of the summaries down because they were way too wordy. Sorry, authors. Write shorter summaries. It’s an AO3 blurb, not a dust jacket. - The kudo count is as of 2 January 2020. Obviously, fics that started posting earlier have the advantage, since they had a longer time to gather kudos. - For this list, I disregarded all fics tagged with multiple fandoms, since their popularity may be due to those other fandoms. - Fics may get - or not get - kudos for various reasons. This is not intended to be a rec list per se, and being on or off this list is not a statement on the quality of any given fic.
