you're a diver from Fontaine, one of the best in the entire Court, and are known far and wide for your ability to collect whatever resource people need- that's where most of your pay comes from, collecting beryl conches and romaritime flowers for jewelry, perfumes, and the like. but you also enjoy diving as a hobby, spending most of your time off in the water and enjoying the sights, your Vision allowing you to breathe easily under the waves. there's something about floating weightlessly in oceanic world that helps you feel so calm and at peace.

it's during one of these leisurely dives that you encounter something- or someone- incredible.

you won't lie, you were swimming too close to the Fortress of Meropide. yes, it's technically forbidden, but you couldn't help but investigate the deeper waters and caves around it after so long of staying away from the area! as long as you stayed away from the searchlights, no one would suspect a thing, so you swam down into the murky gloom. it's more difficult to see as you cautiously glance around, slightly on edge- until you come face-to-face with an oddly glowing light, seemingly emitting from a faceted crystal. you don't dare go towards it (you've had enough experience with ocean creatures to know it very well could be a lure), so instead it decides to come towards you, and an enormous slinking creature is revealed from the darkness. your blood runs cold, all instincts screaming to get away, run, but the monster merely chitters curiously, tilting his horned head and blinking at you quietly.

hesitantly, you raise a hand and wave, and the beast's singular eye widens in awe as he waves back.

you come back to visit the odd creature again and again after that day, becoming adept at avoiding the lights of Fontaine's prison. the monster- Childe, as he told you via carvings on the wall- was incredibly sweet despite his intimidating appearance, greeting you with a delighted chirp and a hug, always extremely gentle with you. he follows you as you explore, protecting you and bringing you trinkets that have sunk to the ocean floor, nudging your hands for head scritches. through his gestures and warbling tones you deduce that he lives in a cavern further below, one you refuse to go to- it makes your skin crawl, for some reason. rarely does Childe come to the surface, but occasionally he'll accompany you if he doesn't want to see you go, wrapping his scaled tail around your legs and whining until you give him a kiss on the forehead. he loves you, and you love him, and he was your special secret.

until you began to fall mysteriously ill, your breaths coming out short and ragged and your head filling with cotton clouds. at first you think it's just a common cold, but it doesn't go away, only getting worse over time. the doctors you visit don't seem to have a cure, merely telling you to rest until you feel better, which you never do, no matter how many hours you sit on the shore with Childe's head in your lap. his worry for you makes you feel a little happier, caressing his cheeks and whispering hoarsely to him as he whimpers, claws dancing over your cheeks in an attempt to hold you back. but it hurts and you cough again and again, growing weaker by the day for no reason other than fate's cruel story.

you don't know that Childe is a monster from the Primordial Sea, gradually wearing away at your strength and life, until it's too late.

🌟 ― i love how you portray your muse(s)

✨ ― i love the way you write

💖 ― you seem like a genuinely nice person

⊹ ࣪ ˖ @firstsoncain. meme. still accepting!

ava ur brilliant... just a brilliant writer, your writing feels lived in. i might be a little cagey nd hard to get along with to some with bad taste and no pizzazz, but we click so well and i love that... plotting with you isn't awkward, we can go UOOUHUHGUGUFHGFIDKJ together over cainvi, and it doesn't feel weird. and they don't feel forced. reading ur reply from yesterday to the ask i sent was as natural and flowed like a sun dappled stream passing over smooth stones... i love writing w. you already and i cant wait to see what else we get into?! i adore cain, i will invite him to my birthday party.

also vi is so down bad for him lmaaooo that anon was right. virote is down bad!

Btw moving to college does not feel like packing up and moving your whole life and is more akin to chopping yourself into bits and pieces, choosing nothing more than a handful of parts to fit into a tiny box, leaving the rest of yourself piled in a room that used to be yours, and hoping you still find yourself in what you left behind when you inevitably come home to it

His favorite accessory

Childe would never hurt you, could never bring himself to do so intentionally but there’s something beautiful about the bright red little scarf he bought you, daintily wrapped around your neck. It looks like a scarlet gash, so vibrant against the delicate skin of your throat that it crosses the wires in his brain just so. It’s his favorite accessory of yours.

He doesn’t want to see your actual blood run down your neck because that means you’d be hurt. This is as close as he gets as he caresses your throat, lightly gripping so the fabric peeks through the gaps of his fingers contrasting beautifully against his pale skin just like the blood on the snow of his homeland.

Yes, it’s his favorite accessory.

ROSSI………………………..this is just—fuck. first of all, your writing is beautiful; the softness and love with which he gifted the scarf to you, juxtaposed with the cold and brutal image of your throat being cut? i’m in shambles. secondly, you know how obsessed i am with the crossed wires in his brain. i can only imagine how the scarf both indulges and quells the violence that wars inside of him. ohhhhh i’m sorry for sitting on this ask for so long, but i truly don’t have words to describe how much i adore it. THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤️

Not a request, only here to say that I've JUST read your two fics with prince!Astarion, and lemme tell you..... it was AMAZING. I legit cannot put enough emphasis on how much they were captivating, beautifully written and enchanting!

You, dear artist, have revived my flame for writing with just two of your works (and I cannot wait to read more of what you might have in store!)

I wish you the most beautiful of days / nights wherever you may be on this planet!💜

i  know  i  keep  saying  this  over  &  over  but  i  really  am  just  fully  overwhelmed  with  how  much  support  i've  been  getting  recently  ⸻  &  hearing  people  say  things  like  "you've  inspired  me  to  write"  /  "you're  my  inspiration"  is  so  new  &  monumental  for  me .  i  keep  tearing  up  &  rereading  the  kind  messages  over  again  because  i  want  to  remember  what  these  emotion  feels  like !  ( which  is  like ,  understandably  melodramatic  but  i   really  am  so  honored  that  so  many  people  read / comment / share  my  fics  because  i've  always  felt  like  an  acquired  taste  rather  than  the  kind  of  fic  author  people  go  hunting  for ,  so  it's  just  SO  MUCH  FEELING . )  like ,  even  reading  the  tags  that  say  things  like  "you  can  taste  their  writing" / "its  written  so  vividly  you  can  see / hear  it"  make  me  pause &  have  to  lay  down  like  i  can't  keep  saying  thank  you  because  i  don' t  know  if  that's  a  good  enough  response  sometimes !!

I feel like Dean from Blue Valentine would kiss you slowly, going lower and lower and lower until he lifts your skirt slightly but looks at you for permission. Once he gets it, he'd gently pull your panties off, making sure to slide the palms of his hands down your thighs before diving in, doing it as if to both pleasure and savor you at the same time. Because he loves you. He missed you. You've been gone from his universe for a while and he wants you to know how much he loves you.

How did the poki ma’ams come to know each other/ form their group (I actually don’t know if they’re ma’ams lol my brain is white noise rn)

you can call them ma'ams <3 only one of them actually identifies as a woman if you asked (Bubbles), Gumiho is just a femme man and Allister is a woman in the way that a drag queen is a woman. but they all don't mind being called feminine terms

Gumiho and Bubbles knew each other first; they met at a bar and hit off and now they're besties. they both met Al on an outing to its hair salon. they were gossiping Very Loudly about their crimes (Bubbles's general theft and Gumiho's literal man eating), and Al sort of wormed their way in by holding that knowledge over their heads, becoming the group's leader very quickly. but it's okay now they're all on good terms
