#hadestown X life series

[the-lesbian-orpheus]

I’ve thought of a potential solution on how I can have both Tango and Scott worked into the AU

So I’ll do a vote if enough people notice the AU to decide who’s gonna be Orpheus

Story parallel wise Scott is definitely making sense but also Jimmy and tango are so in love sometimes- anyway

So what if Jim/Eurydice was in love with one of them before and they “died” went to Hadestown

And that’s kinda what makes Tim cynical

And then Orpheus shows up and they fall in love again

And when Jimmy goes down to Hadestown he sees the love as one of the workers but they both gotta move on and then the Orpheus comes and tries to save Jimmy and Jimmy goes with Orpheus

I think this would mean Scott as Orpheus and Tango as other would make lots of sense too 👀

Anyway yeah I what do we think

AU here

If It's True

Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen x female!reader

Summary: When an unexpected guest crashes your House's welcome feast for the Harkonnens, your life unknowingly becomes the start of a sad, sad song.

Word Count: 872

TW: Manipulation, Dark!Feyd-Rautha (so Regular Feyd-Rautha), she/her pronouns, AFAB reader, songfic

A/N: Hi, it's your friendly neighborhood shitposter. I'm taking a huge leap of faith with this fic, because I truly haven't written anything in YEARS. This idea has been bouncing around in my head for days, thus "the trilogy was born". This is meant to be Part One of a three part series, based on different songs from the musical Hadestown. I've obviously written this with very very dark interpretations of the songs and the themes. If enough people like it, I'll post parts two and three. Please let me know if it's any good, I'd love some feedback :)

What’s the use of his backbone

If he never stands upright?

“We welcome you to Kolhar, my lords Baron and na-Baron. Our House humbly offers our services and facilities to your use. I toast to our continued cooperation and to the strength of our Houses.”

As your father raised his cup, others of our House followed suit. The official welcome feast was well underway, though House Harkonnen had been planetside for at least a week already. The past few days had been for inspecting our mines and factories, ensuring that our production of their ships and swords were up to standard. 

Now? Pure pageantry. You found it a bit redundant, but it was necessary to ensure your good standing among the Houses of the Imperium. It was a grand occasion, in which the leaders of your father’s council were present, as well as the highest ranked mine workers. 

The doors to the large hall slam open, a familiar figure storming in. Your heart flutters at the sight of your beloved parting the crowds before him. The man who you had met by complete coincidence, one of the workers in a local steel mine, who you had spent the better part of a year meeting in secret—had crashed the court. You noticed a bruise growing on his cheek and blood trickling down his temple, indicating that his journey to enter through the doors was easier said than done. His voice soon bellowed throughout the hall. 

“My Lord Duke, I refuse to let your daughter’s hand be taken by the na-Baron. She cannot marry him.” 

The crowd gasps, as do you. You had spent the past week showing the na-Baron Feyd-Rautha around the grounds, the training of your most fierce warriors, and the best of your planet’s culture. You had shared a laugh or two and shown your prowess as a leader. Yes, you’d spent quite a bit of time with him, but marriage? This was news to you. 

You turn to your father, who gives you an apologetic grimace. Several Harkonnen guards step forward to seize the love of your life. You quickly stand to protest, but the na-Baron stops the guards in their track with a single snap of his fingers. He offers a hand to calm the crowd, an eerie stillness in his form.

“It is true, I have offered my hand to the Lady.”

I believe that with each other, 

we are stronger than we know.

“There must be a way around this. Even if this is in defiance of the court, they can’t punish all of us! We work their mines; they couldn’t truly function without us. We are the ones who truly hold the power! I implore you to stand with me, show them our strength!”

Your love stands strong, chin raised in the crowd, voice pleading with his brothers and sisters to stand beside him. He was convinced that this moment could provide a great revelation, that somehow your situation was different. That the consensus of a crowd could make the na-Baron stand down. Surely, your story could convince even the coldest of hearts that love can conquer all. He must have some sentimentality that resonates within him.

That's one of the main reasons why you fell in love with him. He's always so full of hope. Always willing to see the world as it could be, in spite of the way that it actually is.

But you knew better.

“This is treason.” Someone whispers in the room. Murmurs of assent soon follow, and your heart drops. The crowd around him quickly dissipates, as if the mere act of touching him promises death. 

And the ones who deal the cards

Are the ones who take the tricks

With their hands over their hearts

While we play the game they fix

You start to plead with your father to spare your lover. He doesn’t know any better, he wasn’t raised in the ways of politics or court. It’s purely out of his love and devotion to you, so please—

Feyd-Rautha stands up and the room is immediately devoid of sound. He cranes his neck to look at you.

“You love him?”

You swallow harshly, lifting your chin. “I do.” You went to your lover, making a bold statement in linking your fingers together. Presenting a united front. Hoping that somehow, your kind attitude the past week towards the na-Baron would allow this leniency.

A gleam flashes through his eyes, almost imperceptible. He gives a blackened smile, making show of placing his hand over his heart. Confusion fills you. He slithers down the steps towards the pair of you, boots echoing in the Feasting Hall, each step making your lover’s hand give a slight tremor. Your mind stands strong in its conviction, in the thought that you’ll have to fight for what you want. But a small tendril in the back of your mind gives the slightest hesitation. The smallest indication of hope. Maybe…

Piter leans towards his Baron, whispering concerns in his ears, but is quickly paused by the Baron’s hand. Vladimir gives a slow, menacing grin. He responds to his Mentat in a low voice,

“Don’t bother. You know that my nephew loves to play with his food.”

Is this how the world is?

ksliw - Kaguya-sama: Love is War

tdp - The Dragon Prince

mcyt - Minecraft YouTube; primarily Hermitcraft/Life Series/creators within that pool of friends

hades game - Hades. The Game. This includes I and II; I'm not currently spoiler tagging Hades II other than using this tag, but assume any time I'm talking about Hades for the foreseeable future, I'm talking about Hades II.

Less common fandom tags:

mlp - My Little Pony (specifically Friendship is Magic)

kcc - Komi Can't Communicate

dunmeshi - Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon

atla - Avatar: The Last Airbender

hannibal - Hannibal NBC

hadestown - Hadestown

skyrim - Skyrim. The game.

minceraft - Minecraft (yes, the typo is intentional)

I'll update these as much as they pop up but I don't add a lot of fandom tags because I don't reblog many things outside of my main stuff listed above

I tag spoilers for these fandoms for at least a few days, and up to two weeks, after episodes come out. My default tag is [fandom tag] spoilers; for example, "ml spoilers" or "tdp spoilers." I generally don't tag MCYT spoilers.

Content-based tags:

art - art

fic - fanfic

au - AU's

comic - comics (usually minicomics)

gif - GIFs and GIFsets (pronounced with a hard G)

meme - funny stuff that doesn't fit into the above

My stuff tags:

my writing - my writing, usually fanfic

my art - my visual art

sunny builds a website - rambles based on my attempt to build a website and other coding nonsense

Ship tags:

I only maintain tags for absolute favorite ships of mine, and there aren't many. Currently the only 3 I maintain are:

djwifi - Alya Cesaire/Nino Lahiffe

feligami - Felix Fathom/Kagami Tsurugi

dabihawks - Dabi/Hawks

Other tags worth checking out:

<- tags that make sense. to me - when I add a fandom tag to a reblog of a non-fandom post, I use this tag; that way, I can sift through all the random posts I've tagged with funny stuff

laugh rule - laugh rule

all time fav - all time favorites. maintained specifically to brighten my own day when I'm feeling bad, but you can look at it too

I'm sunfoxfic on AO3 too, but you can find links to fics from specific fandoms here:

Miraculous Ladybug

My Hero Academia

Spy x Family (manga)/(anime)

I have more other blogs than I'm willing to admit! Here's a few.

@ml-bot-fics - autogenerated ML fic prompts

@ml-bot-art - autogenerated ML art prompts

@ao3feed-twiyor - Twiyor AO3 feed

@sunnys-spoilers - mostly defunct spoiler blog (not really in use now, but it might be revived for extenuating circumstances later)

@artist-writer-nah - my main blog. Don't follow it. I do not post anything on it.

Askbox always open! Unless it's not. (Which it hasn't been in the past, but maybe it will be in the future.) I make no promises to answer anything. Just because you come into my house doesn't mean you get to leave.

I do have the occasional hornypost and I don't tag them <3 my sexual and gender orientation is for me to know. I'll invite you to find out if all goes well ;) (I am an adult)

[savrenim]

I’ve decided to try something new with my patreon, as I both currently (a) am in a tighter spot financially and currently need to be taking up extra work, and (b) would really like some of that work to be creative writing, so that I do not lose all time for writing in my life. So I will begin my patreon like a monthly writing commission: I will write [monthly earnings] x 10 words for whatever current work of mine the $5 tier or above votes for in a monthly poll.

I will continue to work on all other writing projects as the inspiration strikes me; this simply acts as a guarantee that I will produce a certain number of words for the chosen project in addition to that.

This means both fanfictions — ifmlam, ttbotr, wriu, aiimbp, abbabf — and the drafts that I am working on for both original short stories and novels. The full description of all of the options will be posted on each poll. I will post all words written from the previous month’s poll in the access to everything tag. Maximum possible words per month will cap at 10k, because that is the amount that I amount that I can reasonably do while still working my day job.

Full descriptions of the options below the cut.

Fanfiction: it feels more like a memory: [https://archiveofourown.org/works/5456225/chapters/12613484] fandom: Hamilton. Aaron Burr is the Seer — a figure of religious and political importance, due to his ability to see how someone dies the first time he touches their bare skin. An extremely detailed series of eight different alternate histories emerge from there. This probably has at least 200k to go, with an existing outline of plot points to hit and scattered scenes written amongst that.

as if it must be pure: [https://archiveofourown.org/works/43954528/chapters/110519095] fandom: Boku no Hero Academia: I am gonchposting my way through a canon retelling healer! Izuku fic. featuring All For One having an existential crisis about a Yoichi-shaped child turning up out of the blue and sure is doing something with this ‘second chance’, big brother Tomura, the entire League of Villains’ original founding tenet being the Izuku Protection Squad, Aizawa is so tired of all these extra Problem Children he has accidentally adopted, All Might did not realize what he was getting into choosing this successor, Class 1-A unanimously deciding that their precious cinnamon roll must be shielded from this world and if the HPSC needs to go down to do it that is an acceptable price, and an incredibly tired hacker! Hitoshi who is not being paid enough to deal with the insanity and also terrible opsec of said Class 1-A conspiracy and almost certainly going to get a spinoff fic of his own.

we raise it up: [https://archiveofourown.org/works/23608963/chapters/56655328] fandom: the Magnus Archives. Jonathan Sims reads a Leitner, gains foreknowledge about the course of canon through the end of season 4, and everyone proceeds to run around like headless chickens with the playing in the background fixing everything. The five remaining chapters + four epilogues are painstakingly outlined and/or partially written, probably tentatively around 50k remaining with 20k of that already written.

to the bottom of the river: [https://archiveofourown.org/works/11066571/chapters/24678171] fandom: Yuri! on Ice. A retelling of the anime with a twist on the world background: people can lease their souls to demons in return for making various supernatural deals. There is a single chapter mostly written remaining that better emotionally wraps up and concludes the whole thing, then some additional content already ready to post as a patreon exclusive.

a buried and a burning flame: [https://archiveofourown.org/works/32158693/chapters/79679947] fandom: Victoria Goddard’s The Hands of the Emperor. A retelling of the canon universe with the twist of two different sorts of culturally specific soulmates.  

Unpublished Fanfiction: the wind, the wind, the wind: lesbian Hadestown in space. need I say anything more.

shade of the morning sun: a crossover of my unpublished novel Opus (characters appearing in a beating heart of stone) with the Star Wars prequels. possibly the most insane and indulgent thing I’ve ever written.

Original Works: Opus I: incredibly tired diplomat is annoyed that his assigned assassin-pretending-very-poorly-to-a-bodyguard’s murderous love polygon drama is going to have political ramifications that will in fact be his problem. featuring: Seers, except this Seer can only see 10 seconds into the future and uses it to be Extremely Good At Punching Things, the red/blue/gold relationship system, a magic system based around hiveminds, and an incredibly complicated and fucked-up language with plot-relevant linguistics. some characters and draft 0 concepts appear in a beating heart of stone to get an idea of the Vibes. This is the first in a series of, like, 15 books that will eventually become a multiverse-spanning space opera.

The Numanok Files: Murderbot Diaries crossed with non-sexist Dresden Files crossed with that TV show that was a psychic and a home inspector investigating supposed hauntings, but like, in space, and sometimes the hauntings are real. Valryka Numanok is a bounty hunter who specializes in dealing with ghosts, except while half of the time, a haunting is a haunting, the other half it is poorly covered wiring being affected by solar flares / an alien fungus / hi welcome to me infodumping about everything that might possibly go wrong in exoplanetary settlements. This is a series of novellas each following an individual case.

Strangeside 7: this is Redline but in the aesthetics of a Miyazaki movie; a civilization that spans a galaxy is constrained by the existence of the ‘Strange’ — think sci-fi Fae Wilds. Every year the Strangeside7 race runs through seven unannounced segments of the edges of the Strange. We follow the motley cast of characters as they attempt to qualify and run in this year’s race in a stand-alone novel.

My blog isn’t dedicated to one subject in particular. So this is a short “about me” as well as a list of my usual "content" that I reblog, or once in a while post about. I'm making this because I've suddenly started getting followers recently and want them to know the kind of trashcan fire they're getting into.

As far as my posts/reblogs go, I’ve literally had this blog since I was 14 years old and more cringe than I am now... so some of my oldest posts are probably questionable.

About me:

I love to write and I hope to publish my own books someday, as I’ve had several plotted out for quite some time now. Alas, I enjoy reading other books more than I enjoy finding time to write... I love to read so much. I love art of all kinds, I do digital art and also traditional mediums; watercolor, oil, acrylic, sketching, markers, colored pencils, ink, etc, I love learning new art tricks. I love the VOCALOID software and have been using it since I was 13, I’m partial to my girl, SeeU. I enjoy the occasional video game. I love animals, so so much. And I adore music and will listen to anything once, so my playlist goes from broadway to K-pop to the 50′s to today’s hits- you get the idea.

I’m a 25 year old girl from the United States, specifically, North Carolina. I've been a a pharmacy tech for around 6 years, and I recently graduated with my associates degree (general studies/transfer degree), and I'm hoping to save up and get my bachelor's degree in disciplinary studies (focusing on fine art, history, and English) in the next few years. I prefer to remain slightly anonymous on here, going by Snow rather than my name, because I guess I’m embarrassed of myself and my interests? I don’t know. I mean, I don’t share anything dirty or “bad” but I’d die if my mom ever found this... weird, huh? I have a “real” blog as well, where I’d like to share some of my art or writing and I do use my real name and everything.

Now, here are a few of my favorite things- meaning I probably post/reblog about these things.

BOOKS:

There are far too many to name, but these are the favorites that come to mind:

The Book Thief (my favorite)

Wizard of Oz

The Great Gatsby

Pride and Prejudice

They Both Die at The End

The Raven Cycle

A Dog's Purpose

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

The Hunger Games

The Inheritance Series

GAMES:

This includes video games and mobile games.

Pokemon

Fire Emblem (including FEH)

Legend of Zelda (Only familiar with OoT, MM, BoTW, and have yet to finish ToTK)

Portal/Portal 2

Team Fortress 2

Twisted Wonderland

Fictif (primarily Last Legacy)

The Arcana (pre-D*rian)

Touchstarved (I am a proud backer!!!)

Mystic Messenger (haven't played in over 3 years)

Obey Me (casual interest/don't keep up with it)

To The Moon

Finding Paradise

Baldur's Gate 3 (current hyperfixation of 7 months and hoping to play 1 and 2 soon)

Dragon Age (Origins, working on 2 and don't like it, will play Inquisition and read the books eventually)

SHOWS/MOVIES:

I don’t keep up with many shows or movies anymore, but again, favorites that come to mind are as followed:

Phantom of The Opera

Death Note (favorite)

RWBY

The Princess Bride

I Love Lucy

Only Murders in The Building

Goblin; The Great and Lonely God

Spy X Family

Crash Landing On You

Once Upon a Time (never watched the last season)

The Dick Van Dyke Show

This is Us

The Great Gatsby

MUSIC:

I listen to everything and anything, but these artists are some of my favorites:

BTS ( absolute favorite)

Halsey (also my favorite)

Zara Larsson

Connie Francis

The Temptations

Boyz to Men

PVRIS

Jack White

The White Stripes

Dolly Parton

Hadestown (musical)

The Phantom of The Opera (musical)

Hamilton (musical)

Wowaka

Musicals:

Phantom of The Opera (all time favorite, loved it when I was 5 years old, my first tattoo was the mask, want a chandelier tattoo, got to see it live before the Broadway show closed and bawled my eyes out)

Love Never Dies (I DON'T CARE IF IT IS BASICALLY CANON FANFICTION I LOVE IT)

Wicked

Hadestown (have seen it twice on tour!)

Hamilton (definitely had a phase, still enjoy it, first musical I've ever seen live, saw it on tour once)

Ride The Cyclone

The English Death Note musical that only had a demo tape for Act I (I WILL NEVER GET OVER IT)

Little Shop of Horrors (I thoroughly dislike anything but the 2003 cast though)

[godofplumsandthunder]

Twisted Fate

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Warnings: Cancer, both Bucky and reader have cancer, Major Character death, brief hospital terms mainly reffering to cancer treatment. References to amputation.

A/N: This was written for the lovely @eurynome827​ 2k celebration. I got a lovely quote of lyrics from Hadestown, which I wanted to do something that was based off of the musical, but I couldn’t figure anything out. Then I had a big anniversary come up and this was came out instead. It’s very angsty, I cried a lot, and well I hope you like it.

The low, steady hum of the fan fills the awkward silence. The psychiatrist, newly assigned to the case, still doesn’t feel comfortable. “Case number 32557038” was widely known in the health care center. The whispers and rumors floated their way down the hall, past the copy machine, filling the office with this chilling tale. Some regarded it as a terrible series of bad luck, others thought it was an act of some benevolent God, pouring his rage on this poor couple. Dr. Breynord, after reading the notes on the file, Breynord knew that this case was perhaps the worst case of bad luck she ever saw in her career, and, maybe it was her stubbornness or naive belief in medicine, but Dr. Breynord was going to help this poor man get the peace he so desperately needs.

“James,” Dr. Breynord’s voice breaks the silence of the office, “I’ve read what my colleagues had to say about your case, but, I’d like you to tell me what has happened if you feel comfortable.”

Shifting in his seat, James sighs, with a small nod of the head, he starts at the beginning.

Bucky Barnes was used to change. Granted, it was other people’s change, but it was still change nonetheless. The poor folks that sat next to him each clinic visit changed, his caretakers changed, it seemed as if the whole world changed around him, while he was stuck in some perpetual hell. Every day dragged out in the same dull, and nauseating feeling, and at times, Bucky felt he was in an endless loop, forsaken by some deity he didn’t believe in. But, for however long Bucky has left in this fallen and cruel world, he’ll remember when you walked in, shattering the miserable purgatory he was banished to, he’ll always remember the day you changed his life.

It happened during his first transfusion session after his surgery. His arm, still wrapped in bandage, IV tubing leading straight to his heart, pumped his body full of liquids, as he waited for the toxic poison to enter his body. He always found it ironic, the “medicine” that was supposed to save his life, that was too dangerous for the nurses to touch with their bare hands, was willingly flushed into his body. Hair loss, mouth sores, and muscle aches were the better side effects. He can’t help but think about what is coming, especially as he sees his nurse, Thor, come over with the freshly made batch of poison [STRIKE THROUGH], chemotherapy as his doctor would want him to call it. Hanging the bag on his IV pole, Thor looks over at Bucky, giving him the “I’m going to go on a rant about something you should care about” look. 

“Now James, we’re getting a new patient today. It’s their first transfusion. They’re going to be sitting in the pod next to you. I swear to the gods, I best not hear another complaint about your attitude.”

“Me? An attitude? No, I think you got me confused with someone else. I’m the brightest little ball of sunshine here!” Bucky can’t help but chuckle. It’s not his fault he wasn’t a “warrior”, blasting “Fight Song” 24/7, as he sips on a kale smoothie with coffee suppositories shoved up his ass. T

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, Barnes,” Thor shakes his head as he cleans up his station, “don’t think I won’t throw your bald ass out of here. That cancer sob story, won’t work on me.” 

Bucky goes back to his phone, already feeling the effects of the chemo. No matter how many anti-nausea meds they fed him, Cisplatin always makes him sick. So, he had the right to act like a grumpy old grandpa. While he scrolls through his social media feed, seeing all the accomplishments, brags, and just shit of his friends, Bucky hears your sniffles, as you make your way down to the end of the Oncology clinic, taking a seat next to Bucky. Even if Thor hadn’t given him the heads up, he would have known you were fresh meat. One infusion, his mom asked him how he could tell. It was easy for Bucky, it all had to do with the eyes. A cancer diagnosis shatters you. It kills all hope, light, and goodness that’s in you. You turn completely numb to the world, to the point where your own wailing and sobs feel muted. Bucky saw all of that in your eyes. Behind the puffy, redness, saw the shards of hope, the fear of the unknown. Before you could reach your seat, you stumble, spilling your possessions that you carried all over the floor. Bucky watches quietly as you quickly pick up your items, collapsing into the chair next to him. 

“Sorry I couldn’t give you a hand, only have the one,” he wiggles his stump, and he's met with silence. Talk about a rough crowd, he thinks, his nephews love his stumpy jokes. “So,” Bucky continues, “what are you in for? I’m a sarcoma, in the arm.” You sniffle as you turn your body to look at this new man.

“Leukemia,” you confess, voice barely above a whisper. It takes a real effort to say it out loud because then it makes all of this real.

“That’s good then,” the “sarcoma” man says to you, and Bucky can see the confusion, and pain on your face.

“How is that good? How is cancer good?”

Using his arm, Bucky points around the room, giving you a tour of the room.

“See him, that’s Riley, he has an inoperable brain tumor. That young kid, with the Switch? His name is Peter, his body is chemo resistant. So yeah, leukemia is good. If you haven’t learned it yet, not all cancers are made equal.”

“Oh,” you barely make out. What were you supposed to say to that? 

=====

Much to Bucky’s surprise, he actually enjoyed having your company. Your treatments lined up and so you both got to know each other well. Bucky enjoyed having someone close to his age that understood his problems. And it also didn’t hurt that you had such a great personality, you got Bucky’s dark humor (and it went without saying that you understood it was his way of coping), and you looked great. Not many people can rock a bald head. And Bucky has seen his fair share, and he can say with confidence, you rocked it. Not covering it up with caps, scarves, or wigs. Because why should you hide away? For the first time since his diagnosis, Bucky had a purpose. So, while his immune system allowed him to leave the house, he picked up a bouquet of fake flowers (neutropenia life, am I right?) and a box of chocolates to take with him to the next transfusion. When he got to the clinic, Bucky was a bit worried to see that you weren’t next to him. Instead, there sat Barb, 75 years old with breast cancer. 

“Oh sweetie, are those for me?” Barb looks at the flowers in Bucky’s hand. 

“No!” He snaps, as closes the curtain that surrounds his chair. He hears some huffs and complaints from Barb, but frankly, he doesn’t give a damn. Bucky only has one thing on his mind: you. 

“Are you alright? You’re not here at Club Med” Bucky texts as quickly as his one hand would let him. Dropping his phone, Bucky stares at it all while the nurses prep him. And because of damn, HIPAA, none of the nurses can tell him where you’re at. Minutes turn into hours, and by the time Bucky’s infusion ends, you still haven’t responded to him or shown up at the clinic. 

“Hope you’re okay. Call or text me. I'm worried” Bucky sighs, realizing how much you made his chemo treatments more bearable. How your laugh could make him forget of the poison he had to take, or how the light in your eyes could make him forget, even just for a bit, how much his arm stump was hurting. You were a drug, more potent than any he’s had before, and Bucky was becoming addicted. He’s picking at the hamburger he got for dinner, not having much of an appetite when his phone goes off. Seeing it’s from you, he rushes to answer. 

“Y/N! I… Where were you? I missed you today. I had to sit by Barb and…” The sounds of your cries cut Bucky off. 

“Are you okay?”

“No, Buck. I… Got some bad news today.” 

“Where are you?” He asks. He knows you’re alone, and speaking from experience, you never want to be alone when you get bad news. He knows from experience.

“Buck…” you sigh, “It’s fine. Really.” 

“Please, Y/N, I know what it’s like to be alone after getting this kind of news. Please, let me be there for you.” Breaking further down into tears, you cry at Bucky’s actions, actions of love. 

“I’ll send you my address,” Bucky gathers the flowers and chocolates as he rushes to your apartment, breaking a few traffic laws to get there faster. When he gets there, the image of you, opening the door, eyes swollen from crying breaks his heart. 

“Oh, Y/N,” Bucky sweeps you into his arm, as he closes the door behind, “tell me what’s going on hun.” 

You both sit on the couch, the bag with the flowers and chocolate lay at your feet, as you stay in Bucky’s embrace. 

“I’m… I’m dying Buck!” You manage to say in-between odds. “Dr. Fair... gave me three months to live. There’s nothing else they can do.” You break down in his arms, that last straw finally breaking, as you tell your newfound best friend, the person you were supposed to beat cancer with. Bucky tries his best to remain strong, to be the rock, the foundation you need, but you’re not the only one that is losing a friend. You sit in each other's embrace, as you mourn. You cry for all the missed opportunities, laughs, and memories that won’t be made. 

“What am I going to do,” you whisper, your voice hoarse from crying. 

Kissing your head, Bucky pulls you in closer, “we, are going to make these three months, the best three months you’ve ever had.”

Bucky lives up to his promise, spending every hour he isn’t in the hospital with you. The time you spent together changed your relationship. Neither had to officially say the words to make your relationship official. It was just you, and Bucky. Holding each other close, as the tempest waged on, trying to beat you into submission. You go on walks in the park, picnics, and one night when you both had the energy, went skinny dipping. Your logic being, what are the cops going to do? Arrest two cancer patients, with one of them being terminal? You threw caution to the wind and simply lived. Lived, breathed, and loved. Things seemed to be perfect until reality hit.

Your body wasn’t keeping up. Your cancer was spreading faster than they predicted. The doctors couldn’t give you an explanation as to why the cancer was spreading so fast. It shouldn’t have been. Soon, home hospice came, to try to make you more comfortable. And like the good partner he was, Bucky spent every minute by your side. That’s why, when you felt the inevitable coming, you felt your body give in to the tiredness of fighting, you grab Bucky’s hand. 

“I love you, James Bucky Barnes,” you weakly say, giving him one last affirmation, as you went to sleep, for one last time. 

As Bucky wakes up from his nap, feeling your cold body, he tries to ruse you back awake. Once he realizes what has happened, the last bit of humanity inside of Bucky snapped. He lets out a blood-curdling scream, as tears stream down his face. He strikes your face, pleas escape his mouth. Pleas to you, to a God he has long stopped believing in. His body shakes, his tears wetting your hair, as he holds you for one last time. 

=====

“Oh James,” Dr. Breynord grabs herself a tissue before handing Bucky the box of tissues. “I truly am so sorry to hear that. I want you to know that I am here to help you get happy again, and to heal.”

Bucky sighs and turns away from the doctor as he wipes his eyes. “You’re just like the rest of them. You didn’t listen to me.” 

Breynord was surprised that this was Bucky’s complaint. The other doctors had warned her that Bucky could be sarcastic, standoff-ish, and even flat-out rude to them. Breynord thought she did a good job listening to his story, what did she miss.

“I… I don’t think I understand what you mean, James.”

Bucky lets out a heartless, empty laugh, “you want me to be happy again. I’m never going to be. Not only do I have to live with the guilt of surviving, when she died, in my arms, but I’ll also never find another soul like hers. We had a connection, you know. It felt like we met before. When I held her in my arm, and her arms would wrap around me, it felt like I had the whole world in my arms. I didn’t need anything else when I had Y/N.” 

“So tell me doc, what’s the point of carrying on?”

Bree your Pictagram series is the best thing I've ever seen (and not only on tumblr) like the last chap? There's so many gems but one of my favorites is the opera newsletter. The little details like the actors and characters. And then you compare it to the Orpheus myth. My heart 💔

Thank you so much 🥺❤️ I'm a slut for mythology and, aside from Persephone/Hades, the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is my favorite (goddamn that's why I loved Hadestown so much.)

It's 1 AM, I cant sleep, and I'm replaying the opera scene so I'm about to do a middle school comparison between Ethan x MC and this myth. In other words, I will try to articulate how they were watching an opera about themselves.

Both the unnamed opera and the original myth of Orpheus and Eurydice circle around a pair of lovers who seem destined to be together. However, there is something insurmountable separating them. In the case of the characters, it is death and the Underworld. In Ethan and MC's case, it is an ethical dilemma that could cost them their careers. In more ways than one, Ethan and MC are trapped in their respective worlds, so far out of reach from the other.

Damarion/Orpheus treks through the Underworld and when he finally finds the love of his life, Alessandra/Eurydice, the trust between them is damaged. This, too, happens later with Ethan and MC. They become closer than ever after ch 15, sharing some semblance of a relationship for a few days. Soon, they slip back into their roles and book 1 ends with Ethan telling MC they will figure it out, almost like a promise.

But then he leaves.

In the original myth, Orpheus can leave the Underworld with Eurydice only if he leads the way without glancing back. In the end, doubt creeps in and he loses her. Very similarly, Ethan sabotages himself whenever he gets close to MC, particularly throughout book 2.

This is the only way they can be together.

I think Ethan realizes the only way he can be with MC is to sacrifice his own conviction and moral code. At this point in the story, it's something he's not prepared to do.

[bye-bye-sunbird]

Hello Sunnie! I just wanted to send an ask (or maybe two hehe) to say that I absolutely adore your writing! I particularly love the Diluc x Maid!Reader series and everything about Spoil of War! I love the narratives you bring to life and it seems you have such a way w/ world building! Speaking of, I really love listening to music and "making" playlists for fics. (1/2)

I LOVE HADESTOWN!!! And oooh TUT! "Saw you in a Dream" does give me some major Priestess!Reader vibes! I am so glad you are enjoying the world-building <3, I sometimes worry I am doing too much ajsdnajksdnj.

But back to the songs, I actually have a playlist for every fic I write, I am an intuitive writer, so music helps me a lot to get the inspo going. The relationship between Osial and Priestess is partially inspired by some of the lyrics in "Hey, Little Songbird", (Osial even calls the Priestess his "little songbird" in Puppeteer). Especially from the reader's side, I just love this part:

"Strange is the call of this strange man I want to fly down and feed at his hand I want a nice soft place to land I want to lie down forever"

Making a masterpost for The Outsider Chronicles just in case. 

What is the Outsider Chronicles? 

The Outsider Chronicles is my special interest from hell fan comic, which currently only exists as a prose version because art is hard. The comic is a mega-crossover divided based on what storylines are following which character, which is probably why, when I do get around to making the comic version, I’m going to upload it to either Tumblr or AO3 with their (questionably) handy tagging systems so fans of one character can simply...read that character’s storyline. 

Yes, but what is the Outsider Chronicles about? 

Hoo boy. 

So there’s a solid fifty different characters in just the first volume alone (this thing has 10 planned volumes and is probably going to get more) and each one has their own storyline. It’s probably easier to describe the overall plot instead of each of the individual storylines, which will probably get their own posts later on. 

The comic begins with the basic fanfic crossover premise of “characters wake up in another universe” and then goes completely off the rails. The central cast consists of the Outsiders, a bunch of people who randomly showed up in the Supergirl universe one day and decided to team up because one of them, Jenny, promised to show them a way home if they’d help her rescue her father, the Doctor. The comic is being narrated by this snarky little shit named Aelitah, who knew the Outsiders at some point in time, long after their dissolution and apparent demise. We learn more about her as the story unfolds and how her story ties into the Outsiders’. 

What fandoms are featured in the Outsider Chronicles? 

The most important fandoms for just the first volume (i.e. the ones where the protagonists come from) are Doctor Who, Generator Rex, Hetalia, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, the Alcatraz Vs series, Scandinavia and the World, Realicide, Alita Battle Angel, Lockwood & Co, the Pandava Quartet, Ben 10, Shazam!, anything by Rick Riordan, Danny Phantom, Daniel X, Hermitcraft, the Dream SMP, the Empires SMP, Hollow Knight, Stand Still Stay Silent, Voltron, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Fullmetal Alchemist, Septimus Heap, and Red Rising. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THESE WORKS. I cannot stress that enough. If you’re familiar with just ONE of them, you can follow that one work to the end of the series; assuming I did my job as a writer correctly, you should be able to parse enough information about whatever fandom interacts with your own the most to get through the story. 

The works the settings are from include the Supergirl tv show, the Fallen London ‘verse, the MCU, the SCP Foundation universe, a few previously mentioned works, and a few settings of my own creation. You also do not have to be familiar with these settings to read The Outsider Chronicles. 

There are also few fandoms not mentioned above that also appear. These include Little Nightmares, Centricide, Mianite, Sunless Skies (technically part of Fallen London but still), Bioshock 1 and Infinite, Hadestown, Dune, Attack on Titan, and other works that would probably get me cancelled on Twitter. 

Is there anything else we need to know? 

Yes. Because of this story’s size, it’s going to be a bit slow when it comes to updates. I’ll try to update whatever storyline I’m working on at the time at least once a week, but life gets in the way sometimes and I might not be able to progress this fast enough. 

There are also some content warnings for warfare, genocide, violence, sexual assault (not shown but fairly blatantly discussed), abuse, death, child abandonment, mental illness, suicide, and prejudice. There are probably others but I don’t know what other things might be triggering; let me know if you decide to read the comic and find some more, and I’ll update this list. 

This series also heavily features headcanons of mine! I’ll try to name them when I can, but just remember to take things with a grain of salt if you intend to read another work featured in The Outsider Chronicles. 

I think that’s about it. There’s some more posts about my comic if you want to read them below:
