Graves of Eden AU: "I saw" Part 1

Part 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's not nice to take other people's things, sabes?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fun fact: Blackberry is a symbol for death, pain, remorse, grief, and lowliness in Europe. However, it also stands as a symbol of God's voice and divine love to the Hebrews.

No, Taura didn't say what happened but someone else saw it.

I was wondering how the concept of death was never explained in Eden, since the idea was that all humans would be immortal.

I imagine Andrew would be freaking out when he realized that Nina wasn't waking up and Ashley would think she was just sleeping or something (not like she cares).

The angels only are watchers/supervisors, they only act after the bad things happen but not before they happen, and alongside that they don't think they need to explain "basic" things to the humans like the death and how this affect the humans.

They knew pain but not death, the angels thought that was enough to keep them at bay, so they didn't think that wasn't neccesary to watch them all the time(especially when was "bedtime").

The angels are so full of themselves that they deny any mistake even after the mistakes happen, the majority of angels of high ranks(like renee and mr graves) are beings with massive egos, they only accept their mistakes to god (and he almost never appears to humans or angels lol).

Andrew and ashley thought that causing pain to nina would "help her to know her place" but underestimated the consecuences.

I like to think that after andrew and ashley are sent to hell the angels decide to give xabier and julia inmortality as a "compensation" for all the grazy shit that happened(xabier didn't understand a damn at first and julia wasn't very amused by the idea of being inmortal) and are considered the "new parents of humanity".

Julia taught xabier about the death to avoid more tragedies and because of this the children of this two end up being very protected by their parents and more careful with dangers.

[mixvillainousandtcoaal]

Who's going to say that Taura didn't follow the Graves when they went to hell? :3

Besides, she keeps leaving and coming back from hell whenever she wants.

Can you imagine Gashley from Graves of Eden having children?

Probably? I just envision GoE versions of the canonical Gashley kiddos

Honestly if they did that is hilarious because while Andrew is all upset and bitter over being casted from Eden and being replaced by Xavier, Ashley is living her best life with a husband who adores her and three kids. Lmao, good for her

Fallen Angel-Demon hybrids would be so fun to design- if I wasn’t swamped with drawing stuff I would TwT

Fluent Freshman - Part 14

PREVIOUS

When Andrew came out of his bedroom to grab a second Allen wrench (he’s working on the frame of the dresser while Neil builds the drawers) he finds quite a few things to irritate him.

1st was the sound of his brother and his cousin arguing loudly. Andrew had been pretty clear that they needed to be quiet that morning but following Andrew’s clearly given guidelines was NEVER either of their strong suits.

2nd was the fact that there was a smell in the air that Andrew was unsure of. It wasn’t a bad smell. It didn’t smell like Nicky had left some component of the breakfast FF had bought to burn. Andrew sniffed the air again and…..lavender? It wasn’t really a smell that existed in the house of three college student boys.

3rd and most irritating was the fact that FF was not where Andrew had left him four hours ago on the couch. Again, Andrew had been pretty clear to both Nicky and Aaron that FF was to be left ALONE. FF hadn’t been able to go to sleep until Andrew had promised that nothing would happen to him while he slept.

He moves towards the kitchen table where Nicky and Aaron are eating some of the sour patch kids that FF had brought back as they argued, “He can’t be serious that Kate and I gross him out more than Andrew and Neil! I’ve seen how fast he walks away when they start getting gross.” He hears Aaron say.

“Aaron I have watched Smithy climb out a second story window because you and Katelyn started making out and he’d have to walk closer to you to go out the door.” Nicky returns. “I think you made him mad when you implied he was grossed out by Andrew and Neil. This is why I get spoon privileges and maybe, if Smithy is feeling forgiving, you can swipe your finger around the bowl.” he points at Aaron.

Andrew hangs back just out of sight.

He knows that FF does not like to be subjected to seeing PDA. A part of him feels…better at the confirmation that it really isn’t because him and Neil are both men. FF has seen them hold hands, kiss chastely, and lean on one another and been unbothered by that it was only when it started getting a little heated that  they’d realize that FF had left. FF never makes a scene about it, never scoffs in disgust or squeals in delight he just seems to see where it’s going and will leave if he doesn’t want to see it.

It’s nice.

“Well he’s probably mad at you for waking him up. Andrew said to leave him alone.” Aaron returns.

“He needs breakfast! He also has to take his ulcer meds at the same time so he had to wake up and eat something. He can go back to sleep after!” Nicky defends.

Andrew scowls. Ok. Nicky could live if that was the reason he woke FF up. Still, why the hell is FF in the kitchen and more importantly what bowl and spoon are Aaron and Nicky arguing over?

Andrew tunes his family’s argument out and heads to the kitchen to find FF putting a baking dish into their oven while incense burned on the counter (Andrew now realizes that was the thin box that had been in with the rest of the candy)

He sees the bowl and spoon that Nicky had mentioned and more importantly he can see the chocolate brownie batter on them. Andrew walks over to the bowl and picks it up. He wipes his finger along the inside and…

He closes his eyes for a moment to savor the flavor of the batter. He leans against the counter and his hand brushes against….a five hour energy bottle. Andrew knows he had thrown out the two he had found in FF’s bags before (Ulcer + exhaustion + FF = bad he didn’t need to be a math major like Neil to understand that math.)

Andrew shoves the bottle in his sweatshirt pocket as FF turns around and stares at him passively. FF’s eyebrow’s raise slightly but there’s no other reaction. Andrew considers that, perhaps, FF had wanted to lick the bowl.

He offers the spoon instead knowing it is the better prize but FF is the one who bought the ingredients and mixed together this amazing batter, so he gets first dibs.

“That wouldn’t be good for my stomach.” He declines and Andrew wonders if FF had taken his meds yet or, in his tired state, he’s forgotten to.

“When did you wake up?” Andrew asks.

“Hour ago.”

He should go back to sleep after he takes his meds but also knows that FF probably won’t go to sleep until the brownies are done.

“I’ll make the pie tomorrow.” FF says and Andrew blinks out of his thoughts.

Andrew decides to go get FF’s meds for him. He’ll make it clear to FF later that the guy doesn’t HAVE to keep making amazing desserts as a thanks for being invited to Columbia. If FF just so happens to WANT to keep making amazing desserts then Andrew isn’t going to be the person that stops him.

He shoves the spoon in his mouth and heads out to go find Smith’s bag and his meds.

Aaron and Nicky see him and both let out outraged noises as their quarry had been stolen.

Andrew ignores them and gets to the bag by the couch.

Who the fuck just has 14 bottles of five hour energy sitting in their bag??

***

When Andrew handed FF his ulcer meds he could admit to feeling grateful even if Andrew had obviously gone through his bag to grab it. He swallows it dry because Andrew is standing by the sink and he knows that until Andrew eats a brownie he is not in a position to ask for favors big or small.

(He learned his lesson from that one time with Captain Neil. If he wants to do anything related to Russian he has to be in the safety of his lofted bed under the cover of night and the cover of his…covers while he reads via flashlight. He will not be caught so flat footed again! These are all necessary precautions!)

Andrew seems to very much want for FF to be in prime condition for the hunt. Part of him wonders if he’ll be released amongst other game animals and FF had never felt more jealous of the turkey who got pardoned by the president the day before. Why does that stupid bird get all the luck? Where’s his presidential pardon?

That grateful feeling evaporates into a dust cloud as Andrew lifts a plastic bag, “Stop drinking these.” Andrew hisses, “They’re going to make your ulcer worse.” He points at FF.

“I need them.” He says.

“For what?”

“Five hours of energy at a time.”

“Pull out the brownies and go back to sleep Smith.”

“They still have 10 minutes.”

“Then I’ll pull them out in 10 minutes.”

“There’s a final step that I have to do once they’re fresh out of the oven.”

“What is it.”

“Smith Family Baking secret. I don’t make the rules.” FF gestures towards where the incense continues to burn, “Great Gran’s recipe and methods cannot be shared with non-blood relatives. My mom wasn’t even let in on the secret.”

Thank god

Andrew glowers at him.

Oh God

“It’ll be just 20 more minutes.”

Andrew’s eyes narrow at him.

“They’ll be worth it.” He pleads.

Andrew rolls his eyes.

“Go to sleep when they’re done. Take Nicky’s room.” Andrew commands.

“Take Nicky’s what?” Nicky leans into the kitchen.

“Smith is going to go back to sleep on your bed.”

“Yeah you look like shit Smithy. Don’t worry, unlike Neil and Andrew’s bed mine is all safe.”

Nicky zips out of the kitchen with Andrew hot on his heels. Nicky really is a good friend.

He performs the sacred rites necessary upon the brownies when they come out of the oven and takes a small corner piece to taste test and -

He closes his eyes and clasps his hands together in prayer.

‘Thank you Great Gran.’ He prays earnestly.

‘Remember to wash behind your ears’ he thinks he hears a whisper of grandmotherly advice in return.

That was probably normal.

He extinguishes the incense.

He cuts up the brownies, finds a decently sized plate, and sets the brownies out on the counter before he starts to work on doing the dishes. Yeah Yeah he could have been cleaning while he waited for the brownies to cook! That’s what you always do right? Clean as you go?

Well have you ever been baking brownies that might be the difference between life and death? No? Well then FF is just going to have to stop you right there because he had the oven light on and his eyes GLUED to these fudgey squares.

Who knows what the cousins’ oven would do? He doesn’t know this oven. He and this oven are taking their first whirl together and it could decide to turn on him at any time. They don’t have the brotherhood that he and the oven at his Gran’s house have built over the years! This oven could be one of those ones that maintain their temperature by turning on the broiler! He felt like he could never again recklessly trust an oven after he tried to make crescent rolls in the Viking Oven at his step father’s house and had gotten them back blackened by the broiler.

That oven had been the SINGLE thing he had been excited about during the kitchen remodel which means naturally it was the thing that had betrayed him.

He lets himself think of all the ways he hates the Viking brand as he finishes the dishes and puts everything back to where they belong.

He walks out of the kitchen with the platter of brownies and sets them down on the table where Aaron and Nicky are sat. “Oh my god they smell amazing.” Nicky says and immediately his hand is shooting towards the plate and picking up a corner piece.

FF valiantly resists the urge to slap his and Aaron’s hands away. He needs these to compel Andrew into letting him live.

“Oh wow, those do smell good.” He hears Captain Neil’s voice and when FF turns around Captain Neil and Andrew are both there. It is only in that moment that he realizes that he should have bought some vanilla ice cream to go with these.

Andrew’s love of ice cream was not unknown, probably even infamous. He was the man who, during the summer training, had been so possessive over the soft serve machine in the cafeteria that anyone who wanted any had to ask Captain Neil to get them a bowl or risk being threatened.

He starts towards the door. At this point Target probably isn’t even that bad, probably just some irate people who didn’t come with the rush and are mad they missed out, maybe some officers talking to witnesses on who threw cast the first Wii remote, and workers who will hate him marginally less (unless he gets the same check out person and they remember him (unlikely))

His progress is arrested by a hand grabbing his hoodie.

“Where are you going?”

“I forgot Ice Cream.” And he could get a five hour energy to slam on the way back home.

He then finds himself being pulled down an unfamiliar hallway.

Ah, the anticipation had been killing him more than the fear of his demise. His brownies had not contained the requisite amount of grandmotherly love to save him he had been relying on extract (Great Gran’s spirit guiding his hands) instead of organic (he does not have grandchildren or children for that matter)

Maybe ice cream would have been the deciding factor? He’ll never know.

He closes his eyes and lets himself be dragged. He’s too tired to fight.

A door opens, and he finds himself sat on a bed.

Weird.

“You are falling asleep standing up. Go back to sleep. I’ll leave you at Eden’s if you fall asleep in the booth.” Andrew threatens.

What.

FF knows about Eden’s.

He has heard about it from Nicky trying to get him to agree to go but he’s pretty sure it’d be like introducing an Amazon rainforest frog to the Sahara desert in terms of survivability for him.

“We’re going to Eden’s tonight?” He manages to ask.

Andrew raises an eyebrow at him but answers, “Yes.”

“I’m not really interested in clubs. I don’t drink out in public or dance.”

“Neither does Neil. I just drink. We can stay in the booth.”

“I don’t want to interrupt your time with Captain Neil.”

“It’s fine, neither of us hate spending time with you.”

“I don’t have clothes for a place like that.”

“Nicky grabbed some for you. You’re coming tonight. Go to sleep.”

With that Andrew pulls Nicky’s curtains close, shuts off the light, and closes the door.

FF, always very much like a bird when placed into a suddenly dark environment, starts to feel some of the  exceptional sleepiness that he’d been pushing off through sheer manic desperation to earn another day of life.

He lays down in Nicky’s bed and is tired enough that he can ignore the sheer amount of body glitter on the sheets (does Nicky excrete it like sweat??) and starts to let himself drift off to sleep.

Eden’s might be something completely out of his wheelhouse but-

A conversation with Nicky from when he’d been trying to get FF to go comes into his mind and he sits straight up in bed as Nicky’s words roll around in his head like stale hotdogs at a gas station.

“Eden’s is cool, even though there’s some sick shit in the basement.”

Eden’s is a Secondary Location with a BASEMENT.

Graves of Eden AU: "I saw" Part 2

Part 1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew: “.....”

Taura: “Aren’t you going to say anything?”

Andrew: “.... I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Taura: “Seriously? Is it going to be like that then?”

Andrew tries to look away to avoid the subject: “...”

Taura: “Hmm, so how was it?”

Andrew: “What was it?"

Taura: “How was it to hurt that defenseless bird-UHM!?!”

Andrew grumbles so as not to be heard: “KEEP QUIET!”

Taura being sarcastic: “.....You can’t help yourself, Chico.”

Andrew: “You don’t understand that...that was all an accident, I swear-”

Taura is still being sarcastic and mocks his ‘excuses’: “‘I swear I didn’t mean to throw a rock at that bird?’ What bullshit.”

Andrew gets serious, since he has no reason to hide anymore: “Taura, i swear if you tell anyone, I will-

Taura: “Where is it?”

Andrew: “Where is what?

Taura: “My slingshot, the one you stole.”

Taura: “You know, the same one you used to shoot that bird”

Andrew: “Wait, you just want the slingshot?”

Taura: “What did you think I wanted?”

Andrew: “I don’t know... maybe blackmail me-”

Taura: “WOW WOW wow why would I tell? None of my business.”

Andrew: “Oh...”

Taura: “Besides, what would I gain if I said that the ‘NEW ADAM’ is not as perfect as they say?”

Taura: “Your life and your problems.”

Taura stares at him: “Although I find this new side interesting, if it is a new side.”

Andrew stared back, but with a mixture of confusion: “You...”

Taura: “Where is it?”

Andrew: “W-What?”

Taura: “My slingshot, carajo!”

Andrew: “Uh? Oh sure, I wrapped it with my shirt in a bush near the lake.”

Taura: “Is that why you’re shirtless?”

Andrew, a little embarrassed and nervous: “I guess so...”

Taura’s thoughts: “(This bunny lost the dressing room.)”

Taura: “But about that threat...”

Andrew: “Uh-ARCK”

Taura pushes her to the ground, resulting in her climbing out of the bush and getting on top of him.

Taura: “If I really wanted to screw you over I would have done it a long time ago, so do yourself a favor.”

Taura: “Don’t poke the bear.”

She gets up and walks away from him, but to say one more thing.

Taura: “By the way, next time if you get curious ask for permission first, okay?”

AFTER

Ashley: "You were fucking that BITCH!?!"

Andrew almost chokes: "!?!?!"

new post from graves of eden! This time about the calm before the storm😈and the designs of the gentlemen grave as angels!

I'll talk a little about everyone's dynamic before the events with lord unknown happened.

Both Julia and Nina were interested in Andrew, however there was no animosity between them, I would say that regardless of Andrew's decision they would both have been understanding and happy for the one chosen.

However, Andrew did not choose (even though he had interest in Julia in this au) because if he did he feared the angels would treat him differently and he would leave Ashley alone since being married he would no longer be able to watch her and he knew that she could not going to handle herself fine (also partly because he likes Ashley to depend on him).

Ashley only got along with Julia and Andrew, however with Nina she was a special case, since Nina felt too intimidated by Ashley to interact with her and Ashley always gave off animosity towards Nina because she was jealous that being the new would receive more attention from everyone.

Julia used to be the peacemaker of the group, normally when Ashley had an argument with Andrew about how he treated Nina Ashley would go straight to Julia and she would let her vent her frustrations about Andrew and how she thought it was unfair that the angels treated Nina better the little time she has been with them compared to how they have treated Ashley for years since her childhood.

Julia was trying to look out for Nina and Ashley equally, trying to get these two to interact more and get along better but obviously there was never any progress on the part of either girl.

Andrew and Julia were mom and dad friends, because of this Andrew saw Julia as the perfect candidate to be his wife but at the same time he was also afraid of such a big commitment.

Nina followed Andrew like a lost puppy, due to 1) her childish crush on him and 2) she wanted to know everything about how it was like to live in the garden, Andrew was always polite with Nina but he found her somewhat annoying since he had enough with Ashley following him everywhere and appreciated the little alone time he had for himself.

Nina was created as an adult in the garden, however her mind was very youthful and childish, therefore it was quite easy to trick her into a secluded part of the garden, the rest is history and I will talk about it in a future post.

(Español)

¡nuevo post de graves of eden! Esta vez de la calma antes de la tormenta😈¡y los diseños de los señores graves como ángeles!

Hablaré un poco de la dinámica de todos antes de que los eventos con lord unknown sucedieran.

Tanto julia como nina estaban interesadas en andrew, sin embargo no había ninguna animosidad entre ellas, diría que independientemente de la decisión de andrew las dos hubieran sido comprensivas y estarían felices por la elegida.

Sin embargo andrew no escogía(pese a que tenía interés por julia en este au) debido a que si lo hacía temia los ángeles lo trataran de forma diferente y dejaría a ashley sola ya que al estar casado ya no podría vigilarla y sabía que ella no se las iba a arreglar bien sola(también en parte porque le gusta que ashley dependa de el).

Ashley solo se llevaba bien con julia y andrew, sin embargo con nina fue un caso especial, ya que nina se sentía demasiado intimidada con ashley para interactuar con ella y ashley siempre desprendía animosidad hacia nina debido a que tenía celos de que al ser la nueva recibiera más atencion de todos.

Julia solía ser la pacificadora del grupo, normalmente cuando ashley tenía alguna discusión con andrew por como trataba a nina ashley iba directo a julia y esta le dejaba desahogar sus frustraciones sobre andrew y como pensaba que era injusto que los ángeles trataran mejor a nina el poco tiempo que ha estado con ellos en comparación a como han tratado a ashley por años desde su infancia.

Julia trataba de velar por nina y ashley por igual, inteanto hacer que estas dos interactuaran más y se llevarán mejor pero obviamente nunca hubo progreso por parte de ninguna de las dos chicas.

Andrew y julia eran los amigos mamá y papá, debido a esto andrew veía a julia como la candidata perfecta para ser su esposa pero al mismo tiempo también tenia miedo de un compromiso tan grande.

Nina seguía a andrew como un cachorro perdido, debido a 1)su crush infantil por el y 2)quería saber todo de cómo se vivía en el jardín, andrew siempre fue educado con nina pero la encontraba algo molesta ya que tenia suficiente con ashley siguiéndolo a todas partes y apreciaba el poco tiempo a solas que el tenia para si mismo.

Nina fue creada como adulta en el jardin, sin embargo su mente era muy juvenil e infantil, por lo tanto fue bastante fácil de engañar para llevarla a una parte apartada del jardín, el resto es historia y lo hablaré en un futuro post.

[bipanicoverthegravessiblings]

In the Graves of Eden AU, does Gabriel change his appearance after he follows the Graves Siblings to hell?

I imagine he’d take on an appearance similar to Lucifer after he fell- wings burning away into bat wings. His chest scars are now a maroon (I imagine they’d be like- golden) and he wears the symbol of The Entity’s eye (gotta rep his wife!)

His eye wings stay, but gained a darker color. He missed his old wings, but he doesn’t regret following the Graves Siblings

I'm doing this moreso out of curiosity than anything else , so no promises if I'll even do anything

TBH I've struggled with art motivation before I even got into Laserhawk and it's annoying the crap out of me I can't get myself to do long term projects despite wanting to

I'm also gonna attempt to enter a manga contest with an original story , hopefully I can do that at least, in case anyone was curious about that

[sunwarmed-ash]

24 and 27 for the fic writer asks? 😘

24. Share a moodboard for (one of) your current WIP(s).

Hiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!! I've never made a moodboard before so thanks for asking this! I whipped up this lil dude a few mins ago, hopefully he's okay

27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?

Same fic as above haha The Eden Club! The first time I posted it the first comment I got was some asshole preaching to me about sex work and calling me a whole slew of shit.

It doesn't matter how well I label the bag in the fridge, the people still insist on eating the dead dove!

Thankfully we got past that roadblock and now we have this INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFUL, DRAMA FILLED, 86k POLYCULE FIC!!!!!! I still can't believe we are one chapter away from the ending 👀😅💙

| @intothewildsea :: from here |

Eden clung tight to the leg of the pier as he sat perched on the support beam, bristling and staring down at the sea as it churned just below his bare feet. While the noise of the waves might have been soothing had he been a greater distance away, he was mostly just listening for his friend to resurface so he could get to higher ground.

He had a deep distrust of water, and usually went out of his way to avoid interacting with it at all if he could manage it. Niamh, however, held no qualms with diving down to investigate the ocean floor. So now he was waiting for her to get back, frightened of the situation but also plenty curious about what she was looking for. The spirit startled a little when she did return, held energy escaping into the ether.

"I didn't think you were going to come back - you can hold your breath for a long time."
