The ghost potato, 1939, (surrealist movie).

[twilighttheater]

who will dance with you at the starlight ball?

no one. maybe?

The night passes in a flurry of music, conversation, and light, but you do not dance even once. You wander the halls, and the corridors and come back to the dance hall once all the revelers have left and the music has ended. Motes of dust float in the air, shimmering in the first rays of sun after dawn. A faint tune rings in your ears, an ancient melody, a soft song in an unknown language that has not been sung for centuries. Your feet seem to move of their own accord, and you dance and twirl to this ethereal song. A hand holds yours, incorporeal, soft, and warm as a summer breeze. This presence, old a the palace itself, sings the song and leads you in a dance whose steps you do not know. When the morning sun pools into the room and blinds your eyes, the song will end and you will be left completely alone in the hall, now silent and cold as the grave. In your hand, you will find a thin golden key that was not there before. Will you come back and find what ancient door it opens?

Bonus result I'm including for reasons:

a masked stranger

In dark clothes and a full face mask, this stranger gives you an elegant bow and extends their hand. The dance is swift and leaves you breathless, and they are gone as suddenly as they appeared. When you wander away from the ball you run into them and hear a loud clatter as a sack falls onto the floor and spills its contents. In the low candlelight you can see the crown jewels glimmering as they pick them up and shove them back in the sack. They look at you, their expression unreadable behind the mask. They raise a finger in front of their mask and disappear back into the shadows, without a trace. Later that night, you find in your pocket an obsidian and gold bangle and a note thanking you for your silence. After this ball, you will catch glimpses of them in the street, at other events, late in the night. One night, you will find them in your room, going through your possessions. still wearing a mask, their clothes the same as the ones from the ball, now ragged and worn. No signs of riches from the jewels they stole. They will playfully claim they did not know it was your house. They will then mention an ancient palace, full of traps, the vengeful spirits of the royal family that used to inhabit it, and immeasurable riches. They will offer you to come with them. You have never seen their face. Will you follow them into danger?

Pack 141 - Sphinx!Gaz Headcanons

Tags: monster au, sphinx shifter! gaz, poly 141, cuddling, snuggling, generally just sweet vibes, a/b/o dynamics sort of??

-Despite popular belief, he is not a riddle teller, so much as a riddle solver. Gaz is a sharp man, intuitive and observant.  Even if he hadn't come from a long line of notoriously clever shifters, little would stump him to begin with. Man loves a good puzzle, which mostly extends to puzzle games or toys. In addition to a serious love of mystery movies (Benoit Blanc better watch his ass). He does keep a handful of different apps on his phone, just to keep from getting bored, and often finds himself in wikipedia rabbit holes researching anything and everything. All this being said, he will break out a cheesy riddle on occasion, just to be a big smartass.

-Gaz is very physically affectionate with his pack. Fondly pressing his head to Ghost’s shoulder or chest after a particularly lame joke. Chuckling into his shirt. Grabbing Soap by his jaw during an embrace, pressing their cheeks or temples together. Nipping his ear playfully. Gently ramming his forehead to Price’s at the evac point, a silent check in after a grueling mission. 

- A notorious biter, nothing rough unless you ask of course, but the pack are certainly his chew toys.  Leaning over to chomp playfully at Soap’s shoulder when he isn’t paying attention to him. Nipping at the plush pectorals of Ghost’s chest when he is ready to quit napping with him. Chasing and nibbling at Price’s fingers as he tries to patch up his face.  

- Also say goodbye to your personal space, as he regularly, unceremoniously lounges on other members of his pack like they're furniture, sprawling himself over his mates. He tucks himself neatly against the soft fat of Ghost’s stomach and chest, his toes buried underneath Soap’s thigh. 

-Is also very content to let other pack members drape themselves over him. Rumbling happily at a conked out Soap draped over him like a weighted blanket. If one or more are napping around him, be prepared for a cuddle puddle. Gaz craves the physical contact.

- Sphinx commonly communicate with subtle sounds or facial expressions. This being said he is expressive, his feelings written in the lines of his face. (Leading to some mad RBF at times). He also has a tendency to reply in soft hums or huffs. A fair amount of communication with his family was non-verbal. He has been warned more than once to use his words when displeased. 

-Let’s not forget purring, and boy does he purr. Price was positively chuffed when he first heard it, a low rumble that he could barely make out above the mechanical roar of the helo. The op had been exhausting, and Gaz and slumped against his shoulder within the first 5 minutes of their trek home. Safe. Gaz felt safe. Safe enough to rest openly against his captain. It made his heart swell. Price settled in, adjusting the younger sergeant more comfortably before crossing his arms and relaxing himself. Letting the soft rumble lull him.  

-Gaz also possesses a deafening roar. His harmonics can paralyze and injure most in proximity, even deafen. And if you're small enough, completely knock you over with the force of it.

-there is an inherent magic to felids, and this extends to Gaz, who has the ability to see (or at minimum sense) most spirits and spells.  We've all seen cats stare into empty corners…well, they're not staring at nothing.

-yes the purring is indicative of a safe and happy sphinx, but there is a subtle magic to this as well. The resonant purr having a calming effect on those around him, he has lulled more than one pack member into resting with it. Sit with him long enough and you will be handed one ticket to sleepy town junction, whether you like it or not.  No one is immune. 

-Gaz has the sharpest eyes out of all the pack, making him an invaluable sniper. He also shares enhanced hearing, smell, strength and an improved healing factor. 

-There are differing species of sphinx, with their own unique shapes and dispositions. Gaz, even in a full humanoid form still possesses visible characteristics of his species (androsphinx), slitted pupils, long tufted tail, and most notably large wings.  

-Gaz’s wings are bulky, and not designed for extended periods of true flight. While possible, it takes a great deal of energy. It’s something he has to prepare for. They serve him better as enhancements to movement, such as gliding, covering large distances or scaling great heights.

Gaz’s wings can also produce a tremendous gust of wind, and act as a shield for certain types of damage.  

-Gaz, similarly to Price can control his shift, able to alter his body in varying degrees of change. Though some things cannot be completely deteriorated, such as his eyes, wings and tail. Most sphinxes are gifted a unique article as children, usually a piece of jewelry with a glamour charm. In Gaz’s case, this a small  paracord bracelet, its subtle and durable, ideal for his line of work. Other charms can be made, though the charm is tedious to apply. His hat, as well as charming gold earring, all have the same charm applied. 

-Unlike Price and Simon, Gaz’s nature leans less towards possessiveness (though it’s still present), but rather a fierce protectiveness for his pack. He is the peace keeper, a pillar of emotional stability and comfort for his mates. Who he serves not only physically, but emotionally as well. Any slight towards his mates is unacceptable, and while they may forget or forgive, Gaz will not. He will protect them viciously. If not with the gun in his hands then with teeth and claws. 

-Sphinx are territorial. While most are able to tell the difference between deliberate intrusion and accidental trespass. Gaz still gets antsy about the 141's barracks. That he has self declared as exclusively his territory. Like a guard dog who wasn't given permission to bite (yet), he follows any perceived intruder around at a distance, watching around corners in case they try to touch anything. 

-Perhaps even more serious to him than the barracks? His room. A den he calls it, but it's really a nest. His nest is well guarded and maintained, his sanctuary of safety and comfort in a profession full of bloodshed and adrenaline. As social as sphinx are it can be a difficult thing to be away from his pack, and so he keeps articles of clothing from his lovers, weaves them into his nest so the scents weave and surround him like a warm blanket.

-Gaz, thinking himself a rather clever shit, had taken to stealing the items at first. Well not stealing per se, borrowing really. He gives them all back…at some point. In the beginning, while the pack had gotten close, his nest was sorely void of real comfort. It was childish by sphinx standards, to still need a nest after one had left home in their solitary journey. Too embarrassed to outright ask, he took to snagging clothes from the laundry room, washed, but his pack mates scent lingered just enough to tie him over. Only to be replaced with something else when the scent faded completely. 

-Ghost, of course, was the first to notice. Being forgetful was something Ghost was not. And he knew when his favorite hoodie was missing god damn it, only to mystically appear when he pulled his clothes from the dryer, just for another favorite, an old soft band t-shirt, to come up missing next. Ghost clocked him soon afterward, catching the little thief by the familiar scents that clung to Gaz when he shuffled into the kitchen that morning. 

-After a stern conversation with his Lieutenant, Gaz explained himself with burning cheeks. Ghost hadn't said a word, only yanked his current sweatshirt off his shoulders, shoving it into Gaz's hands. “Go on then, and bring me my other one back" he grunted.

-From then on, like clockwork, Gaz retrieves his treasures. Swapping out clothes for new pieces, warm and scent heavy.  Price is sure to drop off extra when he anticipates being on longer missions. Soft cotton sweatshirts soaked in his honey-tobacco scent.  Why no he did not shift and then wallow on these clothes like a chinchilla to make sure his scent sticks…ignore all the dog hair. 

-It would only get better once his pack began to tumble in bed with him, their scents mingling, soaking into his plush blankets. Now, Gaz sleeps soundly, purring serenely against the skin of one or more of his mates.

The Great Reveal!

Today is the day to lift the anonymity of the authors! We hope you had fun reading all the Yalex goodness, here come the authors reveal:

A Spark of Magic by LastlyMatt for Myulalie (T, 5k) Alex is dragged back after years to finish what he started. Scorpia wants to reawaken the vampire Julia Rothman, and it's up to Alex to do it. During this, he reunites with Yassen, who tries to help him one more time. Inflection Point by Kelkblr for RavenJames (T, 7,5K) There are moments that change your life, moments where you might have made a different decision and taken a different path. A routine mission takes an unexpected turn, giving Alex an opportunity to take advantage of one such moment.

Somebody To Die For by RavenJames for LastlyMatt (M, 5K) The legends are true. They are just not what we expect them to be. Entangled in a strange enemies-with-benefits relationship with Yassen, Alex has an assignment to keep the man under close surveillance. He doesn’t know that things might get even more complicated.

The Right Touch by Strange_Soulmates for countessrivers (E, 3K) Lieutenant Yassen Gregorovich of the ISB spends enough time stalking Rebel Agent Alex Rider in real life. Alex just wishes the man could stop stalking his dreams as well. He has no idea just how accurate the idea of Yassen "stalking his dreams" is. All things are possible through the force, after all. A birthday Surprise by Sigma for kelkblr (E, 35K) When Tom informs him that he's hired a stripper for Alex's 18th birthday party, he wasn't quite expecting what he received. Yassen Gregorovich wasn't quite expecting the hurricane that was Alex Rider either.....it remained to be seen which one of them ended up more surprised....Alex Rider Yalex - somewhat AU. Alex and Yassen have never met before in this. The Last Job by fredbassett for kelkblr (T, 4K) When a close personal protection job ends in disasterous failure an injured Alex has to survive a freezing night and even colder encounter with his former lover.

Alex Rider 2024 by DarlingNikki for greenkite (shirohyasha) (E, 14K) Time moves on and Alex is no longer a scared fourteen year old swimming completely out of his depth. Almost twenty-five years have passed and the world is a completely different place with changes he’d thought were pure sci-fi are just boring reality now. Or Alternatively, Alex gets his retirement from MI6, but too bad they think he's a disposable pawn that's the prefect guinea pig for testing some dodgy new tech, and ends up with a very familiar ghost living under his skin. A Cyberpunk 2077 inspired AU/fusion that's also a prequel for the game technically, but 100% blind readable.

tissue culture by greenkite (shirohyasha) for Polarnacht (n/r, 3,5K) He's not in the dacha. He knows every centimetre of that house, and the dark, cold room he woke up in isn't in it. Alex goes to rescue Yassen from the mad scientists of the week. He finds more than expected.

Dangerous Tastes by Myulalie for turtle_snail (E, 14k) After a failed assassination attempt during his horse ride around the property, Alex gets a bodyguard against his will. He keeps flirting with danger from then on, even at the risk of getting his heart broken.

Spare the Rod by countessrivers for TheOtherBlue (E, 4,5k) Alex goes tAlex gets caught trying to escape from Point Blanc. Mr. Gregorovich handles the punishment.

Devil in Disguise by Polarnacht for DarlingNikki (E, 7K) Alex is sent to break into Yassen’s house and retrieve important documents. He discovers more than he ever bargained for.

Collateral by Rirren for Strange_Soulmates (E, 12k) Alex was asked to come in to speak to an imprisoned Yassen. He didn't know he was signing up for 24 hours of hell. Like A Delicate, Dangerous Desire by turtle_snail for Sigma (E, 5k) There was something so serene to look down at Alex like this, and the wide expression of uncertainties etched on Alex’s face. It was akin to ambrosia. A delicate desire that only Yassen could enjoy. “Maybe I should teach you a lesson… about what happens to apprentices who misbehave.” Alex didn’t respond, instead whatever fear was present in Alex’s eyes morphed into determination. It was a look that was so characteristically Alex.

Who By Brave Assent by TheOtherBlue for Rirren (E, 6,5k) When Yassen is offered a sixteen-year-old Alex for the night, he has no choice but to accept. He has never enjoyed sleeping with strangers as part of his work, but Alex is no stranger... Vastly Different Things by Myulalie&Polarnacht for fredbassett (T, 4k) Alex almost gets tossed from a helicopter into a river in Chile, and spends some quality time with a certain assassin.

We hope you enjoyed the event, reading & commenting and guessing! How many did you guess right? Happy Yalex holidays to everyone!

[heartfulselkie]

Some people already asked ones I was curious about hahaha but one that caught my eye was Bell the Cat - what's that one about?

This one's my Ladyblanc Knight AU that I've been working with on and off for a while now.

Ladybug is the champion and sworn protector of the kingdom and has defended its people from the tyrant Hawk Moth and his akumas. That is until Hawk Moth is apparently slain by his own knight captain and champion, Chat Blanc. But even with Hawk Moth gone and Chat Blanc captured and on death's row, akumas are still running rampant.

Ladybug believes that someone has taken Hawk Moth's place, but with little to go on she needs help to end this reign of terror once and for all. So Ladybug invokes the heroic reward promised to her by the kingdom. Instead of choosing a place in the royal guard or wealth or an estate, she choses custody of Chat Blanc. As dangerous as he is, he's the only one who might be able to help her.

Ladybug looked at the murky reflection in her drink. Lies and deceit did little when one was chasing ghosts. Only the truth could put things to rest.

“So he was finally captured then,” she said, still staring into her cup. “And he’s now here in the city.”

Rena leaned back in her chair with a scoff. “‘Captured’ is an exaggeration. From what I’ve found, he gave himself up willingly. After bathing in the blood of his victims, of course. Though I think that last part might also be an exaggeration.”

“It does sound a little extreme.”

“Well, he managed to level an entire wing of Hawk Moth’s castle. Though that could be considered gentle in comparison to what he did to Hawk Moth himself.”

Ladybug set down her drink. Her eyes fixated on an uneven knot in the wooden table before her as she frowned.

She’d heard the horror story of what Raincomprix’s group had found. What had started as a scouting mission had turned to a bizarre nightmare. Almost a third of a castle reduced to cinders and its owner torn to shreds beyond recognition.

“Chat Blanc…” Ladybug murmured. “He really killed his master, didn’t he?”

Rena’s brow furrowed. “It would appear Hawk Moth’s most loyal knight wasn't all that loyal after all. If it had been under normal circumstances, his killer might have been hailed a hero.”

“Normal circumstances?”

“You know, if Chat Blanc wasn’t a merciless monster.” Ladybug hummed in agreement. Even if Hawk Moth had been a villain and a tyrant, Chat Blanc had been an extension of - no - had been the main driving force of enabling that. Of the few that survived encounters with him, everyone was in agreement. Chat Blanc wasn’t human. He was a demon.

n. a liké mon dernier post sur ig, est-ce que ça veut dire qu'elle est pas ultra remontée contre moi? je lui ai toujours pas répondu et ça me hante. je suis hantée par mon propre ghosting. dans le livre de léa rivière elle parle de doulas de déménagement pour rigoler mais c'est un truc qui devrait vraiment exister. j'ai commencé le livre sur l'argent de christophe hanna aussi j'ai passé l'après-midi à lire le sans plus pouvoir m'arrêter, c'est passionnant de voir comment tous ces artistes s'en sortent avec l'argent, ça me fait dédramatiser ma situation de pauvresse sans revenus qui vit chez sa mère, même si aucune des personnes interviewées jusqu'à maintenant ne vit chez ses parents, beaucoup reçoivent leur aide financière. beaucoup ont renoncé au travail alimentaire aussi et se contentent de presque rien. enfin c'est ce qu'ils disent, c'est un peu facile de romanticiser ça cf. constance debré.

hier j'ai envoyé mes poèmes-radio à r. et j'ai pas pu m'empêcher d'ajouter déso de te forcer à lire mes textes! et il m'a dit t'es sérieuse quand tu dis ça?? et je suis partie dans mes jérémiades nanana j'ai pas confiance en moi et j'ai peur de faire chier les gens etc c'est QUAND que je vais arrêter avec ça? il m'a dit qu'il adorait mes textes et que j'hésite jamais à lui en envoyer. JAMAIS. en majuscules. j'étais à un demi doigt de lui répondre JE T'AIME. hier soir il m'a envoyé un selfie avec une grosse peluche minnie trouvée dans un fourré et j'ai bu mon verre de limoncello cul sec pour m'en remettre. il l'a gardée pour sa fille. je suis hantée par le moment dans son message vocal du camping hollandais où on entend sa fille soupirer dans son sommeil et il dit ah voilà que ma fille ronfle aussi... à sa manière. dans une vidéo de son écran d'ordi on voit des petits polaroids d'eux deux en noir et blanc. quand il m'a dit qu'il faisait du camping avec elle j'ai pensé au souvenir fin comme un voile que j'ai d'être montée sur une colline derrière mon père en chantant une chanson en luxembourgeois à propos d'un sorcier lors d'un séjour en camping seule avec lui. mais il me reste juste cette impression fugace. je sais pas si quelqu'un a déjà théorisé le cas de l'orpheline de père qui tombe amoureuse d'un jeune père et qui est obsédée par sa relation avec sa fille? mais l'orpheline est laide et le jeune père ne sort qu'avec des bombasses.

c'est le deuxième matin que je marche jusqu'au cap d'agde et puis je reviens, il m'attire comme un aimant, j'adore regarder les gens sur la plage en chemin, c'est mieux que le musée. je vois des photos partout avec des compositions parfaites et des accords de couleurs parfaits tout est BEAU et bouleversant mais hier j'avais pas mon téléphone et aujourd'hui j'osais pas prendre de photos de peur de me faire rabrouer/d'être invasive. j'adore regarder les retraités sur la plage, avec leurs corps vieux et fripés et mous et bronzés, j'adore les regarder se la couler douce, lire des livres et des magazines et faire des sudokus et des mots croisés sur leurs petits fauteuils, dormir étalés sur leur serviette, offerts au soleil, les femmes seins nus et insouciantes. ils sont magnifiques. j'avais l'impression d'être john wilson en marchant au bord de l'eau avec ma casquette et mon grand tshirt blanc, en réalisatrice de plage mais qui fait le film dans sa tête.

8 septembre

ce matin quand j'ai allumé mon téléphone j'ai eu un rush d'adrénaline que je voulais pas du tout avoir en voyant les messages vocaux de r., comme si mon corps savait ce qu'il allait me dire. je crois que j'ai un reste de ptsd du mois de juin, à chaque fois que je lui dis un truc et qu'il me répond par plusieurs messages vocaux je m'attends à être terrassée au sol. ce matin sur le canapé j'ai senti la tristesse tomber sur moi comme un dôme qui me coupe du reste du monde, ou comme une chape de plomb, la cape rigide de playmobil qui se clipse au niveau du cou. je lui avais lancé comme ça qu'on commençait quand il voulait à travailler et il m'a répondu qu'il avait mille casseroles sur le feu et moi j'en ai zéro et il s'en excuse platement, il dit désolé d'avoir mille casseroles sur le feu et pas toi, puis il dit que c'est pas ce qu'il a voulu dire, et il l'a pas dit comme ça non plus, mais je l'ai senti bien fort. il a essayé de me rassurer en me disant qu'il voulait toujours le faire mais qu'il savait juste pas à quel moment, et puis il ajoute enfin je sais pas à quel point c'est vraiment rassurant d'entendre ça, comme s'il présupposait que j'étais accrochée à cette collab comme une moule à son rocher, ce qui n'est pas faux, mais il est pas censé le savoir, ni même le supposer, et encore moins le suggérer, me le rappeler, me le FROTTER sous le NEZ. en attendant ça me fait encore passer pour la plus needy de nous deux, celle auprès de qui il doit s'excuser de pas être dispo, celle qui a besoin de lui et qui se retrouve donc en position inférieure.

mais y a pas que ça qui m'a plombée ce matin sur le canapé, l'autre truc qui m'a fait sentir l'abattement jusque dans les muscles de mes jambes, ou peut être que c'était les os, je sais pas faire la différence, j'en parle dans mon poème, de mes os marrons glacés que je traîne en faisant un bruit de rouille, damn je suis une bonne poète, la prochaine fois qu'on me demande ce que je fais je dis poète, je suis poète, le livre de christophe hanna m'a donné assez confiance dans ma condition de poète, en plus la poésie ça englobe tout, c'est parfait. et donc justement, ce qui m'a rouillé les os ce matin aussi c'est quand il m'a raconté qu'il avait commencé une formation pour avoir le statut d'artiste, l'équivalent du statut d'intermittent en france mais pas tout à fait pareil, pour avoir droit au chômage entre les contrats, et je sais pas pourquoi ça m'a déprimée. enfin si je sais, c'est toujours la même histoire, je m'en sors pas avec la vie et quand je vois que les autres avancent, prennent les devants, apprennent, ça me déprime. ça me déprime que eux fassent et pas moi.

parfois j'aimerais vraiment être j. qui a sept ans de moins que moi mais elle peut inviter toute la famille à un apéro dînatoire dans sa nouvelle maison, dans son jardin recouvert de moquette-gazon et d'asphalte, chef d'oeuvre de décor surréaliste, avec des petits ficus qui dépassent et les gamelles du chien rangées contre le mur blanc, nu. j'ai pris un million de photos mais j'avais peur d'être méprisante. j'espère qu'elle me déteste pas secrètement. personne a bitché sur la copine de s., j'étais un peu déçue. je me disais aussi, en parlant de couple, peut être que r. m'a sauvé la vie finalement en reléguant notre relation au stade de l'amitié, parce qu'il m'a encore parlé de son ex pendant trois heures, la mère de sa fille, pas la bombasse, mais peut être que la mère de sa fille aussi est une bombasse et que ça l'a aveuglé au fait que c'était une chieuse, d'après ce qu'il raconte en tout cas. et donc tout ça me fait penser que peut être que les relations avec lui sont compliquées et archi chiantes et qu'en restant son amie d'eau fraîche j'échappe à tout un tas de complications inutiles et de souffrance. même si j'ai déjà souffert pour une vie entière cet été.

Writing procrastination game!

Thanks @lastlymatt for tagging me, I got rambly so I’ll put this under a ‘read more’

Tagging @pigandpepper @known-concepts @countessrivers

1.) what’s the name of one of your wips?

My doc names are usually very boring 95% of the time I finish a fic and think it’s ready to post and realise I need a title. How about ‘Yassen Bedroom Visit’?

2.) Describe a Wip in the format of __+__=__

SCORPIA heir Alex + totally normal kidnapping and drugging in the middle of the night get to safety orienteering exercises = childhood trauma

3.) What tags/warnings will one of your Wips need if you share it?

Forced child seperation?

4.) alternative title to a wip?

I don’t really have alternate titles! Titles tend to come pretty late in the process!

5.) which wip are you most likely to update/finish next?

Probably one of my s3 aus I’ve got brewing, there’s a longer thing I posted the first chapter of today but I also have some one shots, one where Yassen gets wounded fighting off Alex’s enemies and Alex basically has to hold him down to say he cares about him, and another where Yassen comes to chat to him in the middle of the night (while Alex is sleeping) and they catch up.

6.) what is one of your wip’s document title, not what it’s name is but what you have it saved as?

Again, extremely boring. Some examples - ‘Tom/House introduction’, ‘stables’, ‘the ball’, ‘heir apparent 1-9’, ‘hunting’ ‘hostage’ ‘orienteering.’

On reflection, these are very badly organised. But, hey Ho.

7.) post any sentence from your WIP?

Okay this took me forever to decide bc I want to share like, all of my sentences, but here’s a sentence from my SCORPIA heir Alex thing where Yassen just tries to take a day off, but is interrupted by Alex sneaking out of school/the country and mountain his school is on

‘Rubbing his eyes with his forefinger and thumb, he blocked out the little blonde headache sat before him, and sighed, already imagining the state of his email inbox when he got back to his laptop, which he’d sworn would stay folded in its case for the rest of the day.

“And how long ago was this? When should I start expecting panicked calls from your father?”‘

8.) a scrapped idea from your WIP?

Not necessarily a scrapped idea but evidently one I forgot about and rediscovered as I was flicking through google docs - originally a pre-season 3 idea (but could work post s3) where Yassen retires, and decides it’s time for Alex to retire too, even if he doesn’t want to. Very “congratulations you are being adopted! Do not resist.” Meme with Yassen that I’ve seen on here, the bit I’d written was him contemplating the least traumatising way to kidnap him, to make sure they’re a happy family unit post-kidnapping

9.) what’s a story you would love to write but have yet to start?

Alex sees dead people AU - Ian knows, when he dies his ghost becomes bound to Alex, and helps take care of him/watch over him in the field, Alex bumps into Yassen at Point Blanc and immediately recognises the ghost bound to him as his father, especially as he begs the assassin to stop pretending like he can’t hear him for once and let him see his son, to protect him.

10.) how many WIPs are you actively working on?

Four - regency fic, darker Alex s3 au, two other s3 aus I mentioned earlier. Suprised myself by how much of this longer ‘SCORPIA heir’ Alex thing that I’d put off for a while I’ve actually written. That’s one that I really want to finish before I start posting bc I’m bad at doing work without an immediate emotional reward/it’s a longer than anything I’ve written before and I don’t want to give up on it when it’s half published. I had been delaying it till after s3 but maybe time to get to work (will try and finish regency fic first)

11.) is there a scene your struggling to write now?

Oh I mean so many but the most immediate stumbling block is with the regency fic, chapter after this one they go to a ball and that’s almost basically written and so is a lot of the next two chapters but there’s things I need to thread into this chapter that just don’t want to be threaded - I need Alex to start being a bit more suspicious of Yassen, and remember that whole thing about his uncle being murdered now he’s a bit passed the initial princess diaries revelation moment.

I was thinking like Alex waiting up for him on Christmas Eve or something and falls asleep then is woken by Yassen sneaking back in and Alex noticed he’s got blood on his clothes or something and Yassen just shrugs him off and reacts more strictly/authoritatively than he has before. But the scene is a bit sludgy I my mind atm.

12.) Not a question but a second kudos!

🌀☔️

🌀 Post the fic summary for a fic you haven't written/published yet. It can be hypothetical or something you really plan on releasing...

for the mom city fix-it! this Will be published Soon...

Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It starts, and he can’t breathe, and he can’t wake up. It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down.  It’s like: He doesn’t want to slow down. Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It ends, and he wakes up, and he still can't breathe. [ the mom city fix-it. in which james tartt dies, and jamie is haunted by a ghost. ]

☔ Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?

MY KNIVES OUT TED LASSO AU which i was just talking about in another ask game... i do most certainly want to write it but essentially. ted IS benoit blanc in a different font. i can't explain it. i simply know. and rupert mannion has died.

thank you for the asks!! <3

for this ask game!

[princess-of-the-corner]

Technically speaking Gwen fits the description. Sure her eyes only glow in her anodite form which has purple eyes but she's a red head with glowing eyes and green eyes.

There is more than just the glowing green eyes that they all share! Within my AU I mean because some things aren't 'Canon' like lgbt stuff and ships and crossovers. I'm gonna try and remember all the things but

Glowing Green eyes

Not cis(trans!Danny, Genderfluid!Adrien, ????!Ben)

Not straight(pretty sure I have them all listed as Bi but in the bi/pan)

One or more of their love interests is a woc whose color palette is red and is the most badass bitch who could kick their ass (Danny has Valerie, Ben has Lilo, Adrien has both Mari and Kagami)

Not just a Superhero, but has a Magical Girl Transformation™

Color scheme is black and bright green

Not Quite Human (Danny is a Halfa, Ben was already part Alien but the Omnitrix made it worse, I can argue that Chat Noir is a sort of Demigod situation due to it being Adrien channeling Plagg)

Some connection to Death/Dying (Danny is half Ghost and died, Adrien has died a few times(resurrected by LB) and has Death as a Domain of Power, Ben is Literally Everything and includes some death-connected beings and also things that can die and come back)

Have Bad End Timelines where they went fuckin nuts(Danny has Dan, Adrien has Chat Blanc, Ben technically has 10,000(while 10K wasn't 'evil' he was off the rails and causing a problem))

Parents who are questionable but ultimately Trying and will get their shit together eventually(reminded for Adrien that I mean HC/LL!Gabriel, not Canon)

Absolute loser who loves puns, wordplay, and snarky responses mid-battle

There's probably more on the list but yeah

[carraways-son]

Mardi

La nuit dernière, j’ai passé 3h40 devant “La Maman et la Putain”, le long et beau film de Jean Eustache, pas revu depuis plus de dix ans. Passion intacte, un noir et blanc magique (que ne rend pas la teinte bleue de l’écran sur la photo), et Jean-Pierre Léaud au sommet de son art.

Encore 27 nuits à attendre avant de respirer enfin, de flotter, de voler sous le ciel atlantique, et d’oublier que, dans une poignée de jours, ma vie se sera avancée d’un grand pas vers le bord de la falaise.

J’écoute l’album “Battle for the sun” de Placebo, vieux déjà de 14 ans, mais Brian Molko! Après je glisserai “Sleeping with ghosts” dans la platine, l’album vers lequel je reviens toujours.
