#heyhey its the start of a new au

[spacexseven]

Ngl god darling is better than darling with a god ability tbh

Also would nikolai try to kill god darling? And I wonder what dearest sigma would think, he's just so lovely

OH ALSO HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW XIAO THING? It's been around for a while and idk if I asked you about it but he's so pretty wth

not sure what xiao thing you're talking about but he's always so pretty i want to squish him

cw: yandere themes, bad end for nikolai :<

even with your years of watching people, you had yet to see someone like nikolai.

despite his claims that his motives were perfectly clear and that you should be able to understand him perfectly, he always seemed, to you, like a puzzle missing its final piece. what was that piece for him? was it the morality he lacked? when you asked him that, though, he told you that he liked to think he was a puzzle with too many pieces—sentience when everyone else lived like puppets, desire greater than any other, and so on. how could you complete an anomalous puzzle, with no real final picture?

"tell me," he once asked, voice uncharacteristically somber, eyes gazing down at his blood-streaked hands, "can a human become a god?"

it occurred to you then that nikolai was only trying to run from something. something that made him human, something he hated. you think back to the times when he told you he wanted to be free, wanted to stop feeling. was that the extra piece he couldn't get rid of?

still, he was kind to you. or at least as kind as he could be, between jovial, teasing comments and moments of unfiltered rage. he called you his friend, but he said that about fyodor too, and a few nights ago he was trying to convince you to kill him.

"can a god die?" at your questioning look, he added, "can you?"

"i'm not sure. i haven't gotten that close yet," you admitted "but i suppose for a god, being forgotten is as close to death as they can get."

"i won't forget you," he smiled, but the gesture was far from reassuring when his eyes glimmered with something bright.

you wondered if you had unintentionally sparked something in him. you even considered the possibility that you'd wake up the next morning to find him with a knife at your throat. if he was determined to kill fyodor to achieve what he thought was pure freedom, who's to say you won't be next? knowing nikolai, it was easier to believe that he was a monster, a creature of pure evil, bloodthirsty, and seeking to haunt. but things were never that simple. there were times when your heart ached for him, wondering why he had to go down this path. and those times, you truly felt useless, wondering if you couldn't do anything even in your position.

now, you wonder, if it was your sympathy that made you weak.

"it's not fair. i won't forget you," nikolai sighs, "even if anyone else will. but you'll live on even if i'm not here and you'll forget me."

you wish to tell him that you won't, but in your current position, bleeding out at a rapid pace from numerous wounds and head spinning, you can barely handle the pain, let alone move your dry lips. you remember that nearby you is fyodor's body, cold and long dead. it was almost cruel how the closest you'd ever felt to being human was when you were dying.

"hey, but you're a god!" he must have thrown his hands up, from your memory of him, but nikolai's voice grows shriller, though you can't tell if it's from excitement or panic, "you'll come back, like that thing you mentioned before? reincarnation! and you have...powers..." you could tell instinctively that he was looking over at fyodor's corpse.

you want to tell him that you aren't sure. you've never been much use, even as a god. you've always liked being a human more. maybe you will come back, but likely not, and you definitely can't save fyodor anymore. you don't think anyone can. but the words escape you as your vision goes black. the only thing accompanying your dying body was a warm hand on your cheek and nikolai's incoherent mumbling.

sigma, admittedly, was your favorite. you saw a little bit of yourself in him and his desire to find his purpose. but most of all, you liked his determination, his unwavering resolve. it was nice to see how he ran the casino so perfectly, and you thought his position complemented him well.

but unlike nikolai who was easy to sling an arm around and drag out or fyodor, who was always ready to listen to any word that came out of your mouth, sigma was a little harder to get to. he was always working, cleaning up after the other two's messes, and keeping his customers happy. always on the go, and it was getting harder and harder to catch him. the only times he seemed to be able to listen to you was when you caught him staring out the balcony at the world below the casino, only accompanied by the moonlight. he was always gentler then, softer, but more solemn. it was during one of those nights that he finally asked you something.

"so, you're really a god?"

you awkwardly shuffle, "yes. i know fyodor is a bit too enthusiastic about it, but i really can't do much anyway. i'm more like...the remnant of what i used to be."

"is this how the world looks like to you?" he asks, looing at the tiny blinking lights below.

"it's...overwhelming. the world is so big and full of life, and i've never felt like i was a part of it. i love being around people more than anything, but i'm always reminded that i'll never be like them."

sigma stiffens up, still not meeting your gaze, "you're looking for it too, right? to feel like you have your own place here..."

and then, for the first time since you met him, he smiles, "at least we have each other." you smile back, not realizing he took it a little too seriously.

despite your differences, you were just like sigma—maybe that was why he liked you so much. sigma knew all his customers by heart, slaving away to memorize each face and the mannerisms behind it, their likes and dislikes, just to design an ideal experience for them here. all he ever had was the sky casino, and he was aware of just how easily it could be taken away from him. because of this, it wasn't anything unusual to see sigma meticulously studying each of his guests, observing them closely, and noting down his thoughts. maybe that's why you never suspected anything when he stared at you for far too long, something other than a sense of duty burning behind his eyes, something unlike his usual concerns dominating his mind. maybe that was why you didn't mind his new interest in you, stepping in to drag you away from nikolai and boldly insisting to fyodor that he needed to talk to you.

if only you had said something then, you wouldn't have to face this situation; sigma on his knees, pleading for you to stay, to not follow fyodor out of the casino again. you might stay away for weeks, he insisted, and it wouldn't be safe. all he had was you, so please, don't leave with him. and looking at the pain in sigma's eyes, you already knew it wouldn't end well if you didn't comply.

heyhey! im loving your slay the monster au so far, and i was wondering what the names for the monster would be in the chapter 3s? like what is the burned grey’s version of The Smitten called? same for all the other monster vessels

Tysm I love the support!

Like a sane person I’m up at almost 3 am typing this.

Also I’m probably going to add more chapters and endings for the other routes for funsies

But here’s the whole list of names and chapters just because

(Btw unless you kill the monster expect it to just slay itself like how in the actual game if you slay the princess yoru stuck in the voice until you do something and since all of them want to leave they just hit that slay button)

Chapter 1’s:

The hero (if you don’t bring the blade)

The captor (if you bring the blade)

The contrarian (step off the path)

Chapter 2’s:

Literally all the same as in the game minus ‘the voice of’ part

Chapter 3’s:

The Betrothed (I got plans for the smitten’s burned grey route it’s gonna be kinda crazy based on the name)((the voice of the damsel is just going to be hauling everything and since she’s controlling everything now, no sane decision will happen))

The Hunter (the hunted third chapter where if you die to his claws now the roles reversed from him being the scared animal to now being the one hunting the player)

The Empty ( if you kill the cold again or just go out and kill the cold after he asks to escape you come here similar to the spectre and wraith routes but less ghosting but still kind of not really tangible activity is happening)

The Bewildered (if for some reason you decide to hand the knife to the opportunist will stab you and like the witch did in the thorn chapter get so confused that he doesn’t even want to hurt you anymore he just doesn’t know why you did that or why he wants to hurt you anymore)

The Truth (basically the wild chapter)

The Rebuilt (the broken’s apotheosis, the voice of the tower is hyping up her new priest/pet/whatever he is to her)((do expect to be King Kong style yoinked by this kaiju and carried out this forest))

The Resistant (no matter how many holes you make in the stubborn body he somehow keeps getting up, he does not look very healthy after some point)((eye of the needle version of the stubborn btw))

The Savage (if you somehow screw up on the broken or stubborn chapters you end up here and like the fury in there game your options are ‘dying or dying’ goodluck, when the pristine cut comes out I’ll definitely update this)

The Cacophony (like in the moment of clarity for the paranoid all the voices are here.)

The Cheater (the cheated starts playing dirty therefore now a cheater idk what to say, it’s in the name)

Chapter 4’s:

The Winner (the cheated is the only one with a chapter 4 unless I add more later or the pristine cut comes out)

Also I wanted to add here that chapter 1 will always be grey (not the contrarian he doesn’t play by any rules anyways), every chapter 2 has added 1 color to the monster, chapter 3 has 2 colors in its monster, and every chapter 4 will add another color. I wanted to add some other elements of other monsters in it paralleling how in the og game the more voices you get each chapter. Like the betrothed will have some elements from the cold since that’s who you get if you kill the princess in the og game. Also some other additional stuff like extra eyes to look extra biblically accurate and because it’s hard to make a monster look more monster with each chapter so I’m doubling down on stuff like limbs and eyes so it looks kind of like there’s more than one in there

The voices for the third chapters like you saw with the witch in the current route the princess voices are also going to be swapped around to fit the personalities more.

Heyhey I saw ur post about n? Aftons au Evan n Jeremike and it got me thinking what Evan would rlly think about Michael being with Jeremy n all of that? Blinking up at you so much rn

Honestly he doesn't care much? Mike's been crushing on Jeremy since Highschool so its not news to Evan. He likes that Jeremy is there for Michael (Idk if I've mentioned this but Mike doesn't live with his family, he lives nearby with Jeremy.) but he also is just not buddy-buddy with Jeremy because he's still one of Michael's friends. Jeremy never bullied Evan directly, and he discourages Michael from it occasionally, but he is still for the most part a bystander.

When shit starts going down, he knows Jeremy is clever and is frustrated that he would rather be helping Michael only and not join their little teenage group of crime fighters lol. But when Jeremy has his little accident Evan tries to be there for both of them because wow shit is getting real and whatever.

Evan's not super involved in it mostly because Mike doesn't want him to be. He prefers to keep his family life separate from. Everything.

red, orange, green

@dalkomhanchocolateicecream: “heyhey :) i have a “angst” request hehe. usually i try to write these types of longer blurbs but end up cringing & not finish. pitch is soft jae/john/ty/dy but goes through flashbacks while y/n is moving into her new place to have a fresh start. the flashbacks that match up to her present are when she moved in the last apartment (with one of the boys). pls do your fluff magic for renovation flashbacks & the mopey postbreakup for present. sprinkle in that breakup too. ur so talented ty <33” helllooo!!! this is long af LOL. italics are flashbacks, enjoy dear! <3

ps this is a non idol au!

scouring through the store, you sighed for the umpteenth time in the past hour as you look back at the offer on your phone.

the big red numbers glare back at you, signalling a big sale at the local IKEA a bus stop away. and so, on a free day, you made your way down.

throughout your hike around the store, you struggle to find the sale items, although noting down that there were one or two things that you needed to purchase.

as your eyes meet the showroom bedroom setups, however, your mind sinks into thoughts you rather not remember, dancing and evading the peace that your heart wanted.

despite the different hues and layouts, your thoughts fill out one by one, and there was one you can’t help thinking about.

“no way, you’re picking that one?” you furrow your eyebrows, feeling over the cushion to give your verdict.

jaehyun grins as he lifts up the cushion printed with an orange design, “what? i think it’s cute; fruit cushions.”

you roll your eyes with a smile as you set down the watermelon version, dragging him to another showroom to admire the bedroom.

“we’re here for a new cupboard and you’re cooing over fruit cushions,” your expression pans when he gives a cheeky smile, hoping you’d cave in eventually.

“well, we’ll think about it when i actually pick out a cupboard.”

jaehyun shows his fist in triumph over your feigned pondering, knowing you’d buy it in a heartbeat.

to your dismay, the two cushions remained there, but the colours of the room have changed to match the fruits. your feet bring you there unconsciously, taking in the red and orange display like a child.

there was hints of green around—on the cupboard and on the rug. the desk light and the stationeries posed as various shades of green as contrast to the passion around you.

your fingers trailed over the furniture like it was yours, feeling each texture and groove of a potential room. a potential room that you could’ve shared with jaehyun.

ridding your distraction, the passion and strength of red and orange faded just as it came, and you were back to your mission: to get a fresh start.

although, you won’t forget the passion and strength of your relationship any time soon.

you didn’t get much work done in finding your sale items, mostly getting distracted by CD cabinets, curtains and plants.

“i don’t think we could fit all our CDs in that,” you mutter, measuring the dimensions diligently, “plus it won’t fit in the space that our current one is in…”

“you mean your CDs,” jaehyun mindlessly says, glancing around the other cupboards.

“oh right, i forgot your ass only collects vinyl records. sorry for disrespecting, sir jung jaehyun,” you bow down to him mockingly, making fancy gestures with your hand that you eventually get your karma.

“ow- ow! my bone just cracked,” your boyfriend laughs, taking your hand into his as he places butterfly kisses onto your fingers.

“that’s not even the place where it cracked,” giggling, you yank your hand back to take a picture of the tag, set on purchasing it even if it didn’t fit.

0125.

rack 1, section 25.

those numbers stayed in your head even when you wished it wouldn’t, plaguing your mind of the countless trips you made to IKEA.

one time, jaehyun bought the wrong set of curtains for the living room.

another, you had forgotten to buy the filling for cushions, too drawn to the design of the cushion set on display.

the next time you two had laughed your ass off whilst assembling the table in your apartment, because you hadn’t realised you were sitting on the missing piece the whole time.

like earlier, your feet carry the weight of your body and heart, heading straight to rack 1, section 25.

the product laid there just as it was like before, mocking the hesitation and dilemma within you. passers-by gave you a few looks, seeing as you haven’t moved an inch in the past few minutes.

initially, you had chickened out on the shared apartment with jaehyun, opting to buy your own set of furniture to avoid seeing the male’s face.

with a stiff body, you walked away deciding against it. your bravery returned for a few moments when your mind settled on collecting the CD cabinet from the apartment, heading forth to pay for your items.

what you didn’t expect, was to hear jaehyun.

the same smooth voice you had dreaded and, at the same time, desired to hear for the longest time.

there’s a upbeat tone to his voice, accompanying a friend he had introduced to you a few months back, johnny.

rack 1, section 25.

the words echoed in your mind, somehow wishing jaehyun could read your mind one way or another.

all pales when jaehyun comes into view, ignoring the way johnny speaks to the camera, ignoring the wails from someone’s daughter and ignoring the loud chatter of customers.

everything, every sound and person fades away, albeit, not in a good way.

you’re instantly brought back to the first time you had met eyes at a party and hell, the same feeling of anticipation and unease repeats.

this time, before jaehyun can reach out, you grab the self-assembled CD cabinet in haste, leaving the place with trembling breaths and the soft call of your name on his lips.

for your own indulgence, you turn back one last time, meeting his downturned and crestfallen eyes with your own as you fight against the hot tears threatening to fall.

“you’ll never leave, right?” jaehyun mutters into your hair as the record plays, getting used to the apartment and your new bed.

you shake your head, leaning up the kiss him as the finished shelf stood at its place.

in the midst of turning back, all you can focus on through your blurry vision were the fruit cushions you had bought the second time.

red, orange, green. red, orange, green.

although now, those hues seem like nothing, seeing as your world had dulled without jaehyun in it.

Heyhey., saw u have a neighbor au? That turned into a ghost hunt unsolved au? Care to share with the class? 👀👀👀👀

Ok listen Listen

The day I get my ass to consistently write its all over for you motherfuckers because I have so many fic ideas and so many aus

I’m a soft Fucker at heart so example of fic is this fucker that rammed straight through my brain skull was because of a stupid bit in one of my seastars tv shows.

Long story short the joke was neighbor 1 and 2 has windows facing each other.

1 window is his kitchen window, 2 is their bathroom window. 2 makes a subductive expose shoulder flirt thing and it’s funny because gay homophobia whatever it’s fucking king of the hill I don’t care.

THE FACT IS

I want to make it gay :)

So picture this with me, dear sweet tired-dummy

Dear sweet Martin Blackwood has acquired a house do to reasons and other nonsense you know fic stuff, and also acquires a new neighbor after like, idk fuck it a year or so.

Martin doesn’t really pay much mind but one day, you see, he spots the fluffiest, darkest, dumbest black cat he has ever seen across his window getting ready for work one day peaking through his bathroom curtains.

The cat is doing that fucking, cherp machine gun squeaks at a big af moth or some shit fluttering around in his window flower bed (headcanon for this fic is he planted flowers and plants to help bees and butterflies and shit because come in he would)

And because cats are always worth being a little behind schedule he spends like, 5 minutes watching this cat.

And then my dear, someone pulls back the curtains on the other side to retrieve their silly dumbass kitty

And oh no for Martin, he’s a very cute man :)

And so that’s how it starts and continues with various cute fluff bits like mused messy haired mornings on either side, Jon singing while cooking in the mornings, Martins shower singing, little notes put on the windows, eventual flirting you know the drill.

There is defo a moment of Jon going “ARMS!!!” Internally at one point or another because you know

And a recreation of the king of the hill but that started this all but sweeter and more soft gay and gentle teasing you know~

But here’s where it gets stupid because I’m discord buddies with @spider-plants and every time we come up with small au ideas they always spiral into either more or something else.

So this fic went from windows neighbor with light flirting and kitty into “oh shit my new co-worker who I will be spending so many hours and possibly sharing hotel rooms with has already seen me (shirtless, a complete mess, sitting in the kitchen counter at 3 am eating straight whip cream out of a bowl and threw a hack sack at the window and told me to go to bed, etc) I’m going to die”

Being this au Jon didn’t go to university for adhd projection reasons and just stuck to helping out Georgie with what the ghost.

Later Mel got ahold of Georgie to see if she could steal Jon for a new ghost hunt uk segment that’s like buzzfeed unsolved because of the dynamic yo

So Jon with not much going on begrudgingly agrees to try an episode.

Buuuuuut

Guess who’s one of mels camera men :)

That right! The big boy man himself!!!

More shenanigans ensue!

So yeah, that like, the jumbled up baseline idea that kinda spiraled and man I have so many ideas I hope I can write literally anything one day

This au has no fear powers but normal theoretical supernatural events, mostly fluff maybe angst if I get to that, and t4t ace4ace jmart teaholding because it’s my fic and I said so

Hope that like, have you a coherent answer lol I kinda rambled ^~^
