unfortunately i have never been casual about anything
wdym you just wanted to hookup and not live and die together, explore the wonders and horrors of life, adopt a cat together, get matching tombstones, and accept that death can be a beautiful thing showing that we all end up the same no matter how we lived our life and all that matters is that we did it together

ive been reading ur posts for a while and i had a vision from god recently that i needed to share with like minds, so i hope this will be to ur taste... i've been trying to find others who i know this will appeal to (besides me)
but...... bhaalcest-- orin being incredibly possessive over durge and jealous over gortash and durge's relationship, so she changes into gortash when she knows durge is expecting him and has her way with durge, while they're none the wiser.
for the sake of everyone else (and urself) i wont get into the nasty gorey parts that really makes this so much better, i love me some knife"play" (is it really play if orin just outright stabs u) and woundfucking (that i really want to get into but!!!!! i have to find the right audience... hoping i can rant insanely about all that here i just didn't wanna outright plop it down when this scene is good by itself too LJDLASJFAL) -👻
To be fair, I already wrote about Orin fingering a wound. I’m all for insane fucked up knifeplay rants in my inbox. Anyway, obligatory Dubcon, Orin, and Improper Use of Gortash’s Body warning
Something’s wrong with Enver.
You only notice it sometimes. The look in his eyes is wrong, or his grip on you is far too tight. Whenever you mention the change in demeanor, he brushes it off. Or he gets angry. Yelling, throwing things, veins in his throat bulging kind of angry. There’s something wrong with him. The man you know wouldn’t act like this.
You love it.
You almost pounce on him the first time it happens, so turned on you don’t even bother removing anything but the bare necessities. He’s confused for only a moment, but quickly falls into place. You ride him until his eyes roll back, nails digging so hard into your hips that they draw blood. You leave your own bloody scratches down his chest, marking him.
Imagine your surprise when you get to see him again a few days later and the marks are gone completely. It throws you off- your hips are still bruised. You call him out on it, he waves his hand and says he had an image to uphold. He can’t walk around looking like he was attacked by a feral cat. The comment irritates you. You like seeing him marked up, proof that he’s yours. You reach for your knife subtly. You think he needs to be reminded of your real claws.
You’re frozen when instead an ornate dagger is suddenly held to your throat. That bastard. He’s stolen your trick.
He presses the point of it to your throat, drawing blood. You feel the warm drip of it down your skin and into your shirt. You should kill him for this. You should play in his guts while he begs for the mercy of death. However, feeling him cut through your clothes with no regard for your safety excites you more. Every thin slice into your skin as he hurries to get you nude is exhilarating. You’ll get him back for it, eventually. You just need him inside you.
He shoves you back hard, splaying you out on the table. You eagerly spread your legs for him, throwing your head back with a gasp when he bends down to lick the trail of blood all the way back up to your neck.
He groans into your ear, hips grinding against yours with a stuttered breath. He wants to savor your blood, forever remember it staining your pretty skin. He leans to the side to hold the dagger against your stomach, dragging the blade across it teasingly. The cut is thin, barely drawing blood. You arch your back, desperate for more. He laughs breathlessly, pulling the dagger away to instead hold it over your thigh. You ask what's gotten into him. He laughs again, biting down on your shoulder. He asks a question of his own- how far would you let him go?
The dagger dances on your skin and you writhe, holding back a grin. Anything. You'd let him do anything, so long as you could play with him too. He groans, mouthing at the junction where your shoulder meets your neck. Of course. It'd only be fair, he wants you to play in his blood too. Wouldn't it be divine, love?
He's never called you love, ever. You're not sure he's called anyone love in his life, but when the blade finally bites into your flesh... you can't seem to make yourself care. You just beg for more.

hello my lovely tj, i would like to request some headcanons for incubus!ezra please!
Tumblr media
YES YOU CAN MY BABEY!!! It’s spooky night so Honestly if yall wanna talk about incubus!Ezra or ANY of the spook prompts (which YES im still going to write them i KNOW it wont be october but who cares) Lets get INTO IT  ALSO HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY BABY ILY AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOURSELF. 
For those who are wondering, these headcanons surround an au of mine, in which ezra is an incubus who finds himself entangled with a nun who calls onto him and foolishly falls in love. It is called The Devil Beckons (And I Must Heed His Call) and the first chapter is here
Before ezra died, he lived during the 1600’s, more specifically during the Salem witch trials. Even before his death and becoming a demon, he was a man of charm and poetry. Spouting sweet words during a secret romance that eventually cost him his life. 
His white streak of hair is a mark he didn’t have when he was alive. It’s sort of a Devil’s mark. One he got after his death and being reborn as an incubus. 
Ezra can shapeshift. Something many and if not all demons do, to make themselves appear more intimidating or inviting, depending on what the situation calls for. During the day if he doesn’t want to go out in his human form, he’ll usually take the form of a black cat, a stray with a white streak in it’s fur that walks as if it were a purebred. And if a cat matching that same description often find itself lounging at the window of his favorite little nun to listen to her speak about the “wickedly beautiful” man in her life while she rubs the cat’s fur and he purrs for her? Well that’s simply a coincidence. 
Ezra has both arms in this au. Though originally he did lose his right arm in a very traumatic experience shortly before his death. Being reborn as a demon gave him powers, one of which comes with a new limb. His right arm is now a collection of solidified shadow, pitch black and clawed with wisps moving along it as if it were made of the wind. But if you were to touch it, you would find that it was solid and extremely soft against your skin. 
Ezra feeds off of sexual encounters through one’s dreams. Though physical sex can also work. He finds it easier to simply enter your dream and let your secret desires take over before he vanishes in the morning so he may rest, before the night comes again and he seeks out another lover who’s desires he can expose.
Halloween makes Ezra (like many demons) different. He’s unhinged, less in control and could be described as downright feral. While one person a night is more than enough to satiate him, on the night of All Hallows Eve he jumps from person to person, filling their desires in the most filthy and carnal way possible. He doesn’t stop until the sun begins to rise the next day to which he then sleeps for two days straight after. 
He always feels drained after Halloween, often empty and solemn.
Halloween always reminds him of the ghost stories his father used to tell him after tending to the crops, the way he’d paint such vivid images for his children before sending them off to bed with a comforting smile. 
“I would never let anything bad happen to the two of you.”
His father stopped telling ghost stories when the church became more overbearing and would whisper of them being people of the devil. 
After he lost his father and sister to influenza, he left in search of another settlement. 
When he found one, he ignored the whispers of the men and judgmental stares of the women. He told his ghost stories at length, and would read the palms of anybody who allowed him. 
Which is how he met Elizabeth. 
She was a married woman, who unlike the others that stared and whispered harsh words pointed at his lack of a wife and his “Godless games.” She was one who offered out her palm for him to tell her of her fortune. 
Ezra found himself entranced as he trailed his fingers along the lines of her palm, he wanted to see more of her, feel more of her.
And he did. Anytime her husband wasn’t looking, he was there. Reciting poetry that hadn’t yet been written about her smile, her skin, her voice. 
He would sing praises as they made love, of how he wasn’t sure whether she was an angel sent to save him, or a demon leading him to damnation. 
“Either way, I will happily be the sheep for you to Sheppard.” 
But he soon learned. She wasn’t an angel nor a demon. She was a human. A selfish woman who would throw an accusation, a black card of death into the lap of an innocent man if it meant keeping her “virtue” in tact. 
Selfish. Deceitful. Vain. Just like all humans. 
Ezra was fine jumping from host to host each night, he found solace in giving them a pleasure they’d never be able to obtain with anybody esle before he left to find a new one. 
In all of the centuries since he’d been reborn, he had never visited another person again. Never again to show them that mind-numbing pleasure a second time for them to enjoy. 
Until he met you. A curious little lamb who’s hunger for knowledge of the world she lived in and the one Ezra came from, the world of fire and brimstone was only a touch stronger than that of her faith in the Holy Father whose believers killed him four hundred years ago. 
So he would entertain that curiosity. Showing you things about the world and things about yourself that you never knew, before his interest in you dissipates and he leaves you for the rest of your short miserable little mortal life. 
At least, that was his intention at first. 
If you guys want to send in spooky requests for any fics or headcanons PLEASE DO!!!! I’m gonna be awake for a while and i’d love to get into the halloween spirit with you all!!!!!

defend your reputation
@cymothoe
- - - - -
geralt knew jaskier to be an omega from the moment he spotted the insufferable little man in the tavern at the edge of the world. he smelled of suppressed genetics, of the particular blend of spices and herbs that omegas consume regularly to prevent their heats from dominating their lives.
really, geralt had no particular care for the second sexualities and all they entailed. he had been born alpha - had presented early on in the witcher training - but the trial of grasses had wreaked havoc on both his reproductive system and his hormones.
it didn’t bother him much.
all it really meant was that, although he felt the typical pull toward omegas, it was extremely dull, and his ruts were highly irregular - not monthly, as was normal, but completely unpredictable. vesemir had told him, in passing, that he wouldn’t endure a rut unless he grew close to a single omega, and the assumption was obviously that that would be impossible.
witchers lived too long, traveled too much, to form any true bonds... to find a mate.
but, of course, as he was so often wont to do, jaskier came along and fucked everything up.
geralt guesses it was inevitable that jaskier would end up in his bed before long - after all, the bastard was all but flaunting himself in that tavern, and he refused to leave geralt’s side...
perhaps most surprising was the realization that jaskier was the farthest thing from a blushing omega geralt had ever fucking seen.
before they began to court - before jaskier wound up in his bed the first time - geralt had watched him take men and women of every type to bed, and he was almost certain jaskier topped just as much as anything. he remembers, clear as day, the time jaskier had responded to an alpha’s voice with a flippant “fuck you” and a swift knee to the groin.
that had been immensely satisfying to watch.
geralt knows jaskier is far from a weakling, and he’s more than capable of taking care of himself. honestly, he suspects that jaskier prefers it - retaining his autonomy, dictating his own life.
even when jaskier skips his dosage of suppressant to spend a heat with geralt, several months into their courting, the omega is anything but submissive, claiming geralt with bruising kisses and clawing nails, drawing the alpha in and refusing to let go.
only a few more months pass before geralt feels the beginnings of rut. really, he’s not surprised.
he knots jaskier for the first time that week, when they’re holed away in an inn - knots him, bites him, breeds him, again and again.
even as the hormones fade away at the end of the week, geralt feels a rush of pride as he looks upon the teeth marks in the nape of his mate’s neck.
before they bred, few people dared to approach jaskier when he was in geralt’s immediate company - after all, who would want to harass an omega under the care of a witcher? afterward, however, it became a nearly nonexistent thing.
until, of course, the incident.
- - -
jaskier has been performing in a tavern for the past hour or so, earning them the coin needed to move on, and, like always, flaunting his body the entire damn time.
seated at his typical corner table, geralt is only all too aware of the predatory gazes landing on his bard. the tavern is one full of betas, mostly, although there are a couple of alphas, and one omega hanging off the arm of the bartender.
geralt keeps the snarl he yearns to utter to himself - no point in stirring up trouble tonight.
jaskier wears his mark, after all, the skin on his neck darkened and subtly scarred. his musk, too - even from here, geralt can smell himself on the omega, thick and heavy, nearly overwhelming jaskier’s own, more subtle, scent.
it’s maddening.
settling back into his chair with a sigh, geralt returns his attention to ale - after all, he knows jaskier is more than capable of holding his own should some other brute take interest, and usually, the fact that the bard belongs to a witcher is enough to deter anyone else.
this in mind, he lets himself zone out, sinking into meditation and only halfway listening to jaskier’s performance.
he rouses when a new scent reached him, and his eyes snap open, darting to the door.
two men have entered, slipping in quietly, but...
no, not regular men. witchers.
geralt goes tense when he recognizes the medallions resting on their chests - the school of the cat. as he watches, one glances over, meets his gaze... holds it as he nudges his companion.
they’re silent for a moment, all three merely watching. finally, geralt nods, looks away, and the other two retreat to chairs across the room.
here for a drink and a bit of relaxation, no doubt.
geralt can’t fault them for that.
he is quiet for the time being, his attention returning to his bard, who, he notices, is beginning to tire - cheeks flushed, skin damp with sweat, all the more beautiful for it.
geralt yearns to sink his teeth into his throat, his cock into his damp and tender hole.
it’s as this thought crosses his mind - as jaskier plants a foot on an empty chair to put his whole damn body into a line - that another scent reaches his nose.
alpha arousal.
geralt bristles immediately, his gaze snapping to the witchers across the room. sure enough, they’re watching his bard with rapt attention, eyes bright and focused.
for the moment, he keeps still, merely watching them in turn, wondering if they’re foolish enough to dare...hoping they’ll remain in place...
and then, as jaskier’s song winds down and he leans against a support post to catch his breath, gesturing for his audience to resume their chatter, one of the witchers stands, and geralt snaps.
he bares his fangs in a snarl audible only to himself, and before he can second-guess his instinct, he’s on his feet, crossing the room to the bastards’ table.
“sit,” he hisses, low, and takes sick satisfaction from the way the alpha who’d been halfway to his feet immediately falters. “he’s not yours to fuck.”
the witcher pauses, tilts his head, and as his eyes travel back to jaskier, realization seems to dawn. he snorts, lip curling back in a sneer as the other man stands behind him. “no law against watching, is there?”
geralt stands taller, feels an unfamiliar ache in his jaw - feels the need to bite, to rip and tear. “he’s not yours to watch.”
distantly, he knows the other patrons are shifting awkwardly in their seats, are drawing away... breathes in deep and scents fear, scents his mate across the room, watching close.
“i make an effort to be courteous to every witcher i encounter,” he says, his voice low and level, “and you two are no exception, up until the second you so much as step in the bard’s direction. sit down, enjoy your drink, have a rest... stay away from - “
“geralt,” comes a voice at his arm, and geralt jerks his head about, eyes flashing when they land up jaskier - his mate - standing right there, one hand on his back, the other clutching the neck of his lute. “i’m sure they meant nothing by it - “
but geralt is bristling, nearly seething, his fists clenched at his sides, for he can smell the spike in the witchers’ desire now that its object is close enough to touch. “jaskier,” he hisses, and yet, he remains docile, lets his bard rub at the base of his spine and step forward to stand alongside him. “jaskier, stop, this isn’t for you to interfere,” because for all that jaskier is far from an average omega, a witcher with a goal in mind is far from an average alpha, and he knows firsthand that even the hormonal alterations do nothing to reduce instinct.
jaskier seems to have no such qualms, however, surveying the other two with a curiously amused gaze. “if it’s any consolation, darlings, i would gladly come with you to bed - “ geralt’s world flashes red “ - if i didn’t have a prior commitment for the night.”
the taller of the two hums, displeasure plain. “surely your mate here wouldn’t be inclined to cause a scene if you felt like spending the evening with someone new for a change,” he croons, voice sickeningly sweet as he casts a pointed gaze upon geralt.
and he’s right, to some extent. geralt has always made a point of avoiding conflict with humans, suffering abuse and enduring their hate when there’s no point in fighting back... but now, with his mate being harassed, with every other patron in the room watching with apprehension and ill-concealed interest...
he reaches back to push jaskier a couple of steps away, hand flat and firm against his chest as he moves toward the other witchers, fangs bared and eyes bright. “don’t think i would have any qualms with slitting your throats the second you step outside,” he warns them softly. “i won’t spill your blood in front of humans, but that means nothing beyond these doors.”
“you’re a bold one, aren’t you?” the other murmurs, sounding almost impressed. “do you truly think the works of a bard will protect your reputation from crumbling if you kill others of your kind, butcher?”
jaskier reacts before geralt can do a damn thing about the anger that rises on his chest immediately; he has only a second to think before the bard is in motion, shoving his hand aside in favor of launching for the witcher who had uttered that name - has less than an instant for everything to register before the quiet of the tavern is split by a piercing cry.
geralt glimpses blood where jaskier’s dagger had sunken into the bastard’s shoulder through the gaps in his armor, and then the tavern erupts.
- - -
it’s late that night before either of them address the brawl.
geralt had had to pry jaskier from the witchers - had had to use his voice to get the furious thing to subside.
he felt impossibly guilty for it, but he knew that more blood would have been shed had he not.
they - along with the other two - had been kicked out in no uncertain terms, and it had been with difficulty that geralt made jaskier get up on roach’s back for the ride out of town, instead of going after the snarling alphas to finish the job.
(jaskier had been cursing them out until they were out of earshot, but geralt tried.)
now, it’s late, and they’ve stopped for the night in a little forest clearing just a mile or so off the road. geralt has lit them a fire, and there’s a hare roasting on a spit above it, because although he can eat raw meat with little issue, jaskier is not quite so adaptable.
jaskier is seated on a log across from geralt, lute in hand, but the tune he’s strumming keeps changing, faltering; at times, he stops playing entirely.
the awkward atmosphere is tangible.
at last, geralt clears his throat, saying softly, “why did you attack them, jaskier?”
his bard glances up then, disbelief in his eyes. “he called you butcher, geralt, what do you mean? how could you stand for that?”
geralt is, well. bewildered.
“you’d rather defend my reputation than your own honor?” he asks, his brow furrowed. somewhere deep inside his heart, he’s flattered, but... “jaskier, had you been alone, they might have hurt you - witchers of the cat school are far from kind, they could have torn you apart - “
“and you’ve forgotten all the lords who’ve chased me from their wives’ beds?” jaskier interrupts with a dry laugh, setting his lute aside. he stands then, and geralt watches with a cocked brow as his omega crosses to settle upon his lap. “i can hold my own, geralt, as strange as it is for you to believe, and the years i’ve spent rebuilding your reputation from scratch mean far more to me than a few wayward attempts at adultery.”
geralt may as well be reeling. he sets his hands on jaskier’s waist, feels his omega shiver when he brushes a thumb along the curve of his hipbone. “you amaze me every day,” he murmurs, leaning up to kiss the corner of his mouth. “i’ll never claim to understand why you insist upon caring for me, but... i - i appreciate it, jaskier. truly.”
he feels the moment jaskier melts, purrs deep in his chest when his bard turns to steal a proper kiss. “i’ll care for you until the day i die,” he whispers, and geralt... geralt refuses to stand for that. ignoring jaskier’s little whimper in protest, he surges upward, capturing his omega in a deeper kiss.
jaskier doesn’t offer much resistance past that point, eager as always to give himself up to his alpha.
geralt wouldn’t have it any other way.

Jaggedstar || Background || [ASK]
As much of a Backstory post this is for my boi Jaggedstar, Let’s mix things up a bit and throw in some Ask allowance in here! Have a Question you’re just dying to ask Jaggedstar, hit him up in the link below all this writing^^
Description: A large board shouldered tom with massive paws and long thick fur. Had a dark brown tabby coat with lighter undertones, he's missing his right tufted ear. A series of large scars can be seen on his face/muzzle and his left side; starting from his chest going down his shoulder and going along his side to his flank. Jaggedstar is one of the clans (around the lake) largest warriors.
BACKGROUND
Kithood: Born into a litter of 4; Nightkit, Spottedkit, Wolfkit, Owlkit and himself, Hawkkit. Unfortunately for Hawkkit, only himself and his sister, Owlkit would survive the two-leg sickness into their appretniceships. 
Overall, Peachface was the perfect mother for them, a sweet, soft-hearted she-cat with passion and drive to become leader. Peachface was made deputy of Shadowclan when her kits turned 3 moons and no longer needed milk- at this time Hawkkit and Owlkit seen less and less of their seemingly busy mother and more of their father; Stonestrike- as well as their father’s close-knit friend; Darkstorm. They didn’t like this new turn of events and Owlkit pleaded to Hawkkit more and more to stop spending time with their unusual father and his buddy. 
Hawkkit felt extremely guiltily about following his sisters advise but did so and avoided Stonestrike and Darkstrom until his was 5 moons, when he met his oldest littermate; Stormhowl. For an entire moon before their apprentice ceremony, Stormhowl would visit the nursery to play with his two younger littermates happily, Stonestrike never approved of this and only showed disgusted towards the three of them together.
Alas, the day before their kit’s ceremony was to take place; Peachface was found, dead in the Clearing that’s separates Thunderclan and Shadowclan. In her paws was a tuft of Thunderclan fur. Distraught about losing her closest friend and beloved deputy; Kestralstar called War upon Thunderclan, that very night under the cover of darkness and a cresent moon; Kestralstar named two kittens; Peachface’s Kittens; Owlpaw’s mentor would be Dewpatch, and, Hawkpaw’s mentor would be Mouselily. On this same night, Stonestrike was named Kestralstar’s Deputy.
Apprentice-hood: Mouselily was possibly the greatest Warrior- bedside’s his littermates- that Shadowclan had to offer, Hawkpaw admired his mentor dearly and fell in love with fighting due to how Mouselily trained him; with patience and kindness. Hawkpaw and Mouselily’s relationship was healthy compared to his feature ones.
It would be 2 moons after Kestralstar called War upon Thunderclan, and his frist ever fight would be fought in a meek attempt to destroy Thunderclan’s Medicine Supplies. Mouselily, Hawkpaw, Jaggedjaw and Dewpatch were assigned with sneaking into Thunderclan’s Medicine Den during the battle and to destroy all the clans medicine supplies; Even if it meant killing Stormjaw in the process.  
With Hawkpaw’s party just overtop of Thunderclan’s Camp, their fellow clanmates cam soon after, starting with them a blood war in the heart of Thunderclan. In the cover of the fighting, Hawkpaw’s party snuck down to the Medicine Den, ambushing the Medicine cat as he was in the process of helping a labouring queen give birth. Stormjaw mistook them for his own clanmates, ordering them to get needed herbs; Mouselily and Dewpatch drove straight into action grabbing the needed herbs, quickly helping Stormjaw with the queen’s delivery. As the two she-cats did this, Hawkpaw and Jaggedjaw both began destroying Stormjaw’s medicine supplies in a haste, When Jaggedjaw let out a sky-breaking scream of pain as a Thunderclan warrior launched on him; biting into his shoulder until Jaggedjaw no-longer moved. That’s when Stormjaw realized that the cats who helped him deliver and mother’s kittens- weren’t Thunderclan in the slightest. As Jaggedjaw’s attacker stalker closer and closer to Hawkpaw, Stormjaw lashed out barreling his own Clanmate out of the parties way and ordered them “Leave this camp and Never return, unless you have good Intent”
Mouselily and Hawkpaw raced out of the medicine den with a mission success! But it was at the lost of his own uncle. In the mass of Fighting Mouselily was struck down by a bloodied Darkstorm, she couldn’t bare to hurt her clanmate an thus kept her claws sheath as her and Darkstorm battled. When she was pinned, Hawkpaw was attacked by Stonestrike; his own father. The barely experienced fought fiercely against his clans deputy, but his lost the fight and was pinned down; Forcibly given the large scar along his chest, shoulder and side of his body. Mouselily was killed after that, by the one cat she thought she could trust the most.
Hawkpaw couldn’t train for 2 months after that, but did his father care? No. Stonestrike, furious, trained Hawkpaw and Owlpaw in secret; threatening the kill either of them if they told a soul. Stormhowl noticed easily the two’s settle changes; distancing, becoming more quiet, and losing focus. On closer inspection Stormhowl seen new scars overlaping old scars on the two of them. Soon after, Owlpaw caught Twoleg Sickness, and died days later. Stormhowl, Dewpatch and Dasiytuft would be next and a series of deaths by Twoleg Sickness. 
Kestralstar in forced the sick be kept away from the well, a small temporay campsite was made for 24 sick clanmates ranging from all ages. At this time Hawkpaw was read to go back to training and was given Darkstorm as his mentor. Darkstorm would train Hawkpaw mercilessly, with unsheathed claws a bare teeth, always telling Hawkpaw “If you aren’t prepared to die now, then fight harder!”. This went on for moons until Darkstorm brought Stonestrike in on their training- the sessions worsened greatly. Hawkpaw began ignoring his emotions, focusing on training with his Father and- to what he assumed- his new mate; Darkstorm?
Warrior: Jaggedscar got his warrior name after saving Cherrywhisper and Emberstrike from an exploring badger, Kestralstar naming his after his large scar. Jaggedscar fell deeply in love with Cherrywhisper after that, continuing to spend more and more time with Cerrywhisper- and in turn Emberstrike. Emberstrike was in love with Jaggedscar well Jaggedscar was madly in Love with Cherrywhisper, and Cherrywhisper? Well she ends up falling for a loner tom named Catcher- who occasionally stops by Shadowclan to visit Kestralstar. This love triangle[?} type shindig happened for 8 seasons until Cherrywhisper decideds to leave. Without a word and even a goodbye, Cherrywhisper just left.
This broke Jaggedscar’s heart and he cried/wept into Emberstrikes arms. That’s when Him and Emberstrike started hanging out more! Around this time Leopardpaw was apprenticed to Jaggedscar and was greatly encouraged by both his father and mentor to train Leopardpaw like he was trained. He did, but kept his claws sheathed until he saw fit Leopardpaw was ready to actually fight him.
Stonestrike was found dead by the Thunderpath; his throat slit and body partly flatten from a passing monster- the same day, Darkstorm was found dead; supposedly drowned in the River marking Thunderclan apart from Windclan. No one knew the circumstances of the two toms deaths, well except for Jaggedscar and Emberstrike.
It was a simple ambush, really. Darkstorm and Stonestrike never strayed to far. Emberstrike made a good match up with Stonestrike- on the other paw it was Mentor Vs Apprentice all over again, but this time, Jaggedscar had the upper claw. Strategically, Jaggedscar attack without the use of his claws or teeth, instead, he drowned the warrior in mud- prompting him next to a large boulder in the River so he wouldn’t drift away. Jaggedscar made his first kill! 
When his apprentice was named Leopardsnow; he was more proud then ever but he made her promise him that- When she gets an apprentice, she will not use the same training techniques that he had used on her- Leopardsnow promised, reluctently. Emberstrike and Jaggedscar began official mates a day after.
Deputy: Kestralstar greved for three das over the deaths of Stonestrike and Darkstorm, refusing to name a deputy until she was finished mourning the loss of her beloved friends. Kinkpaw runs up to Jaggedscar asking the warrior to help Streamfish, the apprentice acted paniced. Jaggedscar follows Kinkleap back to the Medicine Den and finds the elderly Medicine Cat; Streamfish, has passed away during her sun-high nap. Saddly he informs Kestralstar about this news and softly explains to Kinkpaw why his mentor wont wake up.
Shocked and in a fit of Outrage, Shadowclan warriors alike begin yowling and calling Kestralstar out, claiming her blindness toward the warrior code made Starclan angry and they took their beloved medicine cat as a omen. Jaggedscar calmed down his clanmates with ease and asked Kestralstar her plan of actions.
Kestralstar sends Kinkpaw away to the half moon gathering and orders Jaggedscar to guide him to Thunderclan’s border. When he returned Kestralstar names him her deputy, asking for starclan’s forgiveness on Shadowclan and herself. 
Nine Lives; Kestralstar dies a list of things; Her injuries being Infected, Bloodloss and continous Posining by her deputy.
Peachface; His First Life: Appreciating a Medicine Cats Company
Owlpaw; His Second Life: Endurance
Mouselily; His Third Life: Trust

Cloudspots; His Fifth Life: Mentoring young cats wisely 
Cindershade; His Sixth Life: Stubbornness and Duty

Wander Through The Darkness Part I: Come Wayward Souls
A soft, sweet breeze rustled through the branches of the trees. Birds chirped, squirrels chattered, and mice scampered over crisp fallen leaves and soft earth. The forest was in the midst of autumn, caught between life and death, clinging to the last vestiges of summer whilst already surrendering to the siren song of winter. A cat licked her black paw, tail swishing behind her, flicking in time with a beat that only she could hear. Her intelligent violet eyes swept over the forest— her home— as her ears pricked up at distant crackles and crunches of the leaves, accompanied by unfamiliar voices. She jumped into the undergrowth, waiting, watching, as the intruders rounded the bend.
“- and then there’s caramels, Miss Belshaw always hands out caramels. And Mr. Reynolds is super nice and gives out these really nice chocolate-covered nuts! I don’t really like those fruits that Ms. Ortiz gives out, though, they’re not sweet enough. But I really love Mr. Bates though! He gives you chocolate pretzels and, if you’re extra good, he gives you ones with caramel as well! You’d like his son, I think, Lolo, he’s your age and he likes this old person named Edgar who writes scary stuff. I don’t get it, but I’ve told him about you, and he thinks you’d be pretty cool! I think you’d be really-”
“Hey, Patton, quiet for a second,” the taller of the two strangers suddenly blurts, slapping their hand over the smaller one’s mouth. The smaller one lets out a little meep, but the taller one— Gnome, the cat mentally renames them— ignores him, looking around the forest with wide, shining eyes. The cat flicks her tail, eyes narrowing at the unease she sees in those eyes. This can only go downhill from here.
“W-where are we? This isn’t home. How did we end up in the woods? There aren’t any woods near where we live. How… Patton, I think we’re lost,” the tall one stammered, gripping the sides of their head. Their long fingers jostled the dark blue cone-shaped hat on their head, and they yelped as it fell to the ground. The shorter one, Patton most likely, picked it up and handed it back, smile unnaturally wide and probably not possible under the laws of human biology.
“Don’t worry, Lolo! We’re not lost! Home’s just back that way!” Patton chirped, pointing behind them. The taller one’s eyes widened and they turned around to see a path shadowed in mist and lined with skeletal trees clinging to the last vestiges of their leaves.
“Patton… Patton, no it’s not. We’re lost, we’re so lost, Alfred is going to kill me,” Gnome babbled, panic seeping into their voice. The cat flinched from her place in the bush. She had been correct. Oh, how she hated to be correct in this case. This poor soul was a perfect target for the Beast, and she could not bear to see another lost child.
“Hey! Maybe if we keep walking, we’ll find someone who can help us get home!” Patton cheered, gently taking Gnome’s hand. At least one of these two would not be felled so easily. The cat bunched her legs, prepared to stroll out and direct the children to the nearby town where they would be safe from the Beast—Enoch did not take kindly to his theatrics, after all—when a new presence entered this scene.
“I can help you,” a soft drawl came from the trees. Both children looked up to find a lilac bluebird perched on a branch, head cocked to the side as most birds were wont to do. Gnome slapped their face a few times, leaving red marks in the shape of a pianist’s hands on his pale cheeks. He glanced around nervously, tugging on the edges of his cloak, as he began to nibble his lip and scuff the ground with his toe.
“This… this cannot be happening. I must be dreaming. This isn’t real. What is happening?” He pinched himself, to no avail. He then began to run around, continuously pinching himself and attempting to wake up, if his mad ramblings were to be believed. Finally, he knocked his head against a tree. With a yelp of pain, he stumbled back, rubbing his forehead. “Seriously, what is happening?”
“Well, you’re hitting yourself, and I’m answering your question, and that nice bird is offering to help us!” Patton answered, beaming brightly.
The tall child shook their head. “No, no, Patton, a- a bluebird’s brain isn’t large enough for cognizant speech.”
“Excuse you?” the bluebird snapped, eyes narrowing. The cat’s fur bristled. She had half a mind to leap out and claw that bird to shreds.
“What? That is a simple fact of biology,” the taller one snapped back, metaphorical hackles raised.
The bluebird puffed himself up and flew down, landing on the teapot atop the head of Patton, to glare right into the tall one’s eyes. “Now, listen here, you little shit-” he started, when a thick branch snapping startled all involved.
The tall child spun around to find a towering mountain of a human— a woodsman, Remy realized with a start, perhaps even the Beast’s woodsman— holding up a lantern, eyes glaring into the souls of all in front of him. “Who goes there?” he bellowed.
The bluebird muttered something about leaving and shot off into the sky, leaving the two cowering children alone. The cat once again bunched her legs and prepared to leap to their defense, but the tall one’s stammering stopped her.
“We- we weren’t causing any trouble! I just need to get Patton home, and we’re really lost. Could you maybe point us in the right direction, and then we’ll be on our way, and you can go back to doing whatever it is you do!”
The bulky, darkly-clad man hummed and inspected the two children before sighing and lowering his lantern. “You’ll freeze out here, boys. Let’s get you some food, and then we’ll work on getting you home.”
Patton eagerly accepted, and while Gnome was still wary, they ultimately accepted as well. The two children left to follow the man reminiscent of redwoods, leaving the cat alone as the only witness.
Eyes narrowed, she slinked out, hackles raised. She did not trust that woodsman. He stank of the Beast. Someone cleared their throat behind her, and she spun around, hissing with unsheathed claws and bared fangs.
The bluebird from earlier was perched on a log, giving her an unimpressed look. “Listen, I know you were there the whole time. I think we can both agree that those kids are in danger from that crazy woodsman. Want to help me stage a rescue mission?”
Remy calmed down, fur smoothing, and sat down to lick her paw and contemplate the offer. “Why do you care?” she asked, washing her ears.
The bluebird sighed. “I… got into a situation like those kids just did, and I don’t want to see that happen again. That guy works for the Beast… we can’t let those kids go without a fight.”
A grin stretched across her face and she stood, stretching, a calculating grin spreading across her face. “Agreed, little bluebird. I am not one for heroism, but I shall make an exception in this case.”
“Virgil, actually. I… I’m not a bluebird.” The cat’s ears perked up at that tidbit, yet she remained silent. This was not uncommon in the Unknown, creatures who were not those creatures. A possible curse was not her business, unless Virgil wished to share more. Questions could wait for later, when those children were safe from the clutches of the Beast.
“Remy. You can call me Remy. Off we go, Virgil.” With that, she flicked her tail and bounded after the deceptive woodsman, Virgil soaring behind her. It was clear no one else was going to help these kids, so Remy was going to feed the last shreds of decency in her soul and help these kids get home. The Beast had stolen enough souls while Remy stood by idly. It was time to start fighting back.
The woodsman’s house was not far and, in almost no time at all, Remy and Virgil found themselves perched on the roof, arguing over strategy. Virgil thought swooping down the chimney and pecking the woodsman’s eyes out was the best plan, whereas Remy believed sneaking in through a window and leading the children out would be better. Two of the most stubborn beings in the Unknown stood, toe to toe, neither willing to compromise their position, even to rescue the two hapless children caught up in the middle of this plot.
As fate would have it, this argument was pointless, as the section of the roof a few feet away shattered and both Remy and Virgil scrambled back as the two children burst out of the mill, trailed by a hound from hell, eyes glowing in the same swirling coloured rings of the Beast. Virgil shrieked and Remy hissed, claws shooting out as she prepared to leap and claw the hound to shreds. Gnome, however, turned out to be more resourceful than expected, as they lured the hound to the edge of the roof near the wheel and goaded it into barreling towards them, leaping out of the way at the last minute and allowing the hound to be crushed by the wheel. Remy tried to muster a shred of sympathy for the hound, but found she couldn’t. Gnome panted, staring in horror at the destruction they had caused, as their younger sibling cheered and danced around. Virgil fluttered up to Gnome and landed on their shoulder, nuzzling into their neck as the woodsman shouted from the midst of the carnage on the ground. Gnome and the smaller one leant over the edge of the roof, staring down in horror.
Virgil sighed and battered Gnome’s face gently with his wings. “We should go,” he murmured. Gnome simply nodded, still in shock, and scrambled down from the unbroken section of roof, Remy nudging Patton along after them. Ignoring the angered shouts of the woodsman, Remy coaxed the children back into the woods, steering them towards Pottsville. Enoch would know what to do.
********************************
Logan gulped as much air as they could, arms wrapped tightly around themself under their cloak. Patton bounced happily ahead, chattering endlessly with the bluebird who inexplicably could talk (scientifically impossible, yet happening. Logan did not want to think about what that could mean) named Virgil and the black cat with the too-bright violet eyes, or ‘Remy’ as she told them to call her. Logan trailed behind, lost in thought, trying desperately to quell the anxiety bubbling in their intestines and attempting to claw up their throat. Patton was happy, they could tell; they could not ruin that for him. Their father Alfred would be angry and disappointed, and then their father would be angry and disappointed at them, and they would just be an infuriating disappointment to their entire family.
“So, Patton, who’s the string bean behind us?” Virgil’s voice cut through Logan’s turbulent thoughts, and their cheeks paled. No no no, Patton, please do not say the words always sitting on the tip of your tongue, those false words that had the power to ruin Logan and reduce them to sand blowing away on the wind-
“Oh! He’s my older brother,” Patton chirped, beaming back at Logan with the kind of smile only an innocent six-year-old with no concept of Reality could produce. Logan flinched. Of course Patton would answer that. Alfred and Arthur told him that, and who was a six-year-old to question the word of his parents?
“No, no I’m not,” Logan snapped back, hunching deeper into their cloak. “We are not brothers.”
“But Papa said-” Patton began, and Logan couldn’t stand to hear the next words, they couldn’t go through the tearing and the fire and the pain again.
“Alfred is wrong, okay? Arthur’s wrong. We’re not brothers, Patton, so just… just stop, okay?” Logan stammered out before fixing their gaze on anything but Patton and retreating back into their thoughts. They registered Patton explaining that away with He’s just grumpy, don’t worry and He’ll come around, he’s always like this when he’s scared and Logan’s throat fell into the vice-like grip of sorrow. Patton would never understand, he would never let it go, Patton would always see them as his brother…
“Yo, string bean, you good?” Virgil’s voice sounded from right next to his ear. Logan startled and spun to face the bluebird, fingers shaking. This entire scenario was implausible, impossible, and Logan knew that they must be dreaming. They hadn’t dreamed in months, however, so this could not be a dream. Which meant this entire ludicrous scenario was real, it was actually happening, and Logan wanted to cry at the realization.
“Yes, I am satisfactory. Thank you for asking,” Logan murmured back, wringing their hands together. “Patton has some difficulties accepting reality, that is all.” Without glancing over, Logan could feel the disbelief radiating off of Virgil, stabbing into their heart and tearing into their shields.
“Sure. Let’s go with that,” Virgil simply answered, ruffling his wings. “Almost makes you want to leave a kid like him behind, yeah?” Logan blinked and turned to face the bluebird, aghast.
“Absolutely not. Alfred would kill me if I let anything happen to Patton, and then Arthur would kill me for upsetting Alfred,” Logan hissed, sadness welling in their heart. Of course they couldn’t leave Patton. They had to prove that they were at least capable of being anything other than a failure of a child, and keeping Patton safe and getting him home was going to be the only way to prove it.
Virgil sighed and ruffled his feathers. “As you wish. Let me know if you change your mind, okay?” With that, he flew off to perch atop Patton’s teapot, and Logan was once again left to their own thoughts. The small, strange quartet continued along the path towards the town of Pottsville; Logan composed poetry as the minutes passed, lamenting their situation, an unreciprocated love, a family torn apart. They barely noticed as they entered the township proper of Pottsville, too caught up in their composition.
“Welcome to Pottsville. Stick close to me and don’t wander off, okay?” Remy’s voice called from the front. She paused and turned around, tail lashing behind her and violet eyes burning with fierce conviction. Overall, she was clearly not joking around right now, and Logan swallowed and nodded, unwilling to incur her wrath.
“Okay!” Patton chirped, eyes already darting around to take in the sights. Logan sighed and walked forward, grabbing Patton’s hand to prevent him from running off. Virgil settled on their shoulder, Remy nodded her approval, and the group continued on, walking the seemingly deserted streets of Pottsville. Logan shivered, pulling their cloak closer around them as they contemplated why the town seemed so abandoned. All of the scenarios they could think of were not pleasant ones, so Logan desperately hoped that none of them were true. In seemingly no time at all, Remy came to a stop in front of a barn, the long plume of her black tail swaying languidly behind her as she sashayed up to the door.
“In here,” she announced, jerking her nose towards the door. Logan cautiously stepped up to the door and pushed gently, the door creaking open easily. The group all slipped inside and Logan gently pushed the door closed behind them, allowing their eyes to adjust to the dim lighting. Once they did, they wished their eyes had not as they felt all the blood rush from their cheeks and their heart thud to a stop. Figures cloaked entirely in cloth moved in strange, disjointed patterns to music as they all sang, slightly out of tune but still somewhat charming yet disturbing. Remy seemed to not display any signs of discomfort as she strolled forward, head held high. Logan reluctantly followed her, pulling Patton behind them while Virgil’s talons dug into their shoulder.
The figures around them greeted Remy as she strolled past; Remy acknowledged the greetings and even returned them yet did not slow in her mission, continuing to wade through the crowd with two humans and a bluebird at her heels. She came to a stop in front of the largest figure in the room, jumping up atop a hay bale to look the figure in the eye.
“Ah, Remy. Nice to see you again. What can I do for you?” the figure asked, coming to life. Logan shrieked at the sudden movement and shoved Patton behind them in an effort to protect him. The music stopped and every eye in the room turned to stare at them, causing Logan’s anxiety to spike even more. Remy ignored the stares and continued on with her mission, sitting down and smiling at the figure.
“Well, Enoch, these two are lost and need a place to stay away from the Beast for a night or two. I figured you would give them sanctuary,” Remy drawled, tail flickering slightly. The giant hummed, contemplating Remy’s request, before straightening and walking over to loom over Logan and Patton. Virgil growled a bit and flitted over to Remy, leaving the two humans surrounded by masked figures and utterly trapped and at the mercy of these strangers.
“Hello, little travellers. What are your names?” Logan gulped and hugged Patton closer to their side, still on-edge. Patton, however, had no such qualms, and immediately squirmed away from Logan to beam up at the terrifying figure.
“I’m Patton, and that’s my brother Logan!” Logan flinched, still unwilling to correct Patton, even in the face of a stream of misgendering. Virgil and Remy both shot them curious looks, but the large pumpkin-headed figure, Enoch apparently, ignored that, peering down at Logan to inspect and judge them.
“Well, Logan the Elder, why have you come?” Logan gulped and steadied their nerves before opening their mouth to speak.
“I… we’re simple pilgrims, seeking sanctuary and a way to return home,” they called, voice crackling and wavering, from puberty or anxiety Logan could not tell. Enoch the pumpkin head leaned back, humming. He seemed to come to a consensus extremely quickly and nodded before leaning down again.
“I can provide you with sanctuary from the Beast and directions home, but first, you and your brother must do a favour for me.” Logan nodded; the offer seemed reasonable enough, after all. Nothing in this world was ever free, Logan knew, even at the tender age of 14. Even love was not free; it must be earned.
“The harvest season approaches. I need you and your brother to dig holes in our fields for the harvest. The day is not close to over yet, so you may start immediately.” Patton’s eyes dimmed a bit, but Logan took the offer gratefully, shepherding Patton out the door and following a helpful pumpkin-headed woman to the fields to begin their laborious task. She handed both Patton and they a shovel, and Logan moved to set to work before a clink and a hard jolt stopped them in their tracks. They looked down, horror slowly oozing across their features, as they noticed a ball and chain wrapped around their ankle.
“Yeah, pal, we all have that except for Remy here,” Virgil’s voice called. Logan glanced up to find the bluebird glaring at his own ankle, a miniature ball and chain wrapped around it. Remy sat nearby, grooming herself, and she peered at Logan with slitted pupils.
“Relax, it’s a precaution Enoch takes with everyone. If you do your work, you will be fine.” Logan bit their lip but set to digging, already desperate to be free. A mysterious sinking feeling had settled into their stomach, and though they had no clue as to why, they knew it was wise to do as instructed, lest they discover why they felt anxious.
Of course, the universe was not kind to them, and they soon discovered the reason for their uneasy discomfort. Their shovel struck something hard, and a sickening crunch pierced Logan’s eardrums, spiraled down their spine, and settled into their very soul, causing Logan’s breathing to hitch as they stumbled back in horror. They brushed the dirt aside and found bones scattered all throughout this hole. There were bones of humans, the empty skull sockets peering up at them, passing judgement upon their stupid decision to come to this town. Logan’s breathing picked up as warm, sticky tears began to stream down their face.
“Whoa, Logan! You okay?!” Virgil chirped, dragging himself over to the edge of the whole to peer down at Logan. Logan shook their head and sunk down, curling into a tight ball as they sobbed. “Logan, can you answer me?”
“Lolo?” Patton called, young high voice soft with worry and care. Logan sniffed but could not settle their breathing or their heartbeat, the inevitability of their own death dangling over their head.
A shuffling sound met Logan’s ears and they curled up tighter, crying harder, preparing to be buried alive. Instead, a warm lump of fur curled up next to them, gently hitting their side with something warm and soft. Logan startled and looked up, eyes still watering, to see Remy staring at them with wide, sympathetic eyes.
“Logan, I assure you, you are not in any danger. Death is not coming for you today,” Remy soothed, placing a paw on Logan’s leg. Logan blinked, confused, and Remy smiled before explaining. “The residents of Pottsfield are all dead. The deceased belonging to the Unknown all are brought here to be given new life. You and your brother have merely freed the new residents. You will not be killed. You will not be buried. You are perfectly safe.”
“My apologies for the reaction, then,” Logan sniffed, standing up and dusting off their pants. “Let me finish freeing this person, then.”
Logan finished digging out the whole and was lifted out by two of the Pottsfield residents, only having a moment to regain their footing before almost toppling over from the force of Patton’s hug. Virgil settled onto Logan’s shoulder and Remy wound herself around Logan’s legs. The pumpkin-headed leader of Pottsville— Enoch, if Logan remembered correctly— strolled up to them, leaning down and blinking languidly into Logan’s eyes.
“My thanks for completing this task for me. Join us for the festival before staying in the inn for the night. I assure you, no harm shall come to you while you rest here.” Logan nodded shakily, attempting to convey their immense thanks, but Virgil managed to pick up on their thoughts and voiced them for Logan.
“Thank you for not killing us, Pumpkin King,” Virgil chirped. Enoch and Remy burst into laughter, and soon enough, Logan and Virgil joined them. Patton had apparently already made friends with the locals and had joined the festivities, Logan soon being lead over by Remy and Enoch, Virgil perched on their shoulder. Logan relaxed slightly upon feeling the cheer radiating from the residents and walked over to the table laden with harvested foods, picking up a small ear of corn and nibbling on it.
They are quickly yanked into the festivities, pulled into a dance by Enoch himself. Logan silently thanked Joan for teaching them how to do a square dance at one point, glad they were not making a fool of themself as a result. Enoch laughed in a deep, rich tenor and spun Logan a bit. Logan blinked, trying to regain their balance, and some other person gently grabbed their shoulders to help steady them. Logan finally regained their bearings and went to thank the person, yet they beat them to speaking.
“Logan, yes? My immense thanks for freeing me,” the person said, voice high and dripping with sincere gratitude. Logan blinked, confused, as their brain processed the statement. The pieces eventually slotted into place, and they flushed, stammering out an awkward “It was nothing.” The girl giggled and pecked them on the cheek before vanishing into the crowd, leaving Logan standing there, frozen in shock and embarrassment.
“Does Logan have a crush?” Patton asked, Logan startling as they felt a tug on their cloak.
“No, no I do not,” they snapped. “She was expressing her gratitude for digging her out.”
“But she kissed you. Kissing only happens when someone likes someone else,” Patton answered, eyes wide with certainty. “Kind of like you and Joan.”
“We’re not talking about Joan,” Logan gritted out. “You know what? Just… find Virgil. Enjoy the party. I’m going to find the inn.” With that, they stalked off, leaving Patton standing alone in the middle of the dance floor, confused.
********************************************
“Good luck, travelers. Remember to trust no one you meet along the way,” Enoch called after the small group as they traveled on the path out of Pottsville. Logan waved goodbye, silent in contemplation, while Patton yelled back his thanks. Soon enough, the four of them were engulfed by the thick trees, and Logan paused.
“How are we getting home?” they asked, panic clenching their windpipe smaller. Virgil blinked and turned around, head cocking to the side.
“Um, well… there’s this witch I’ve heard of. Talyn. They can most likely get you home?” Virgil shrugged at the end, looking uncertain, and while Logan was about to suggest finding another way if Virgil was not sure, Patton jumped in, excited.
“Yes! Let’s go find Talyn!” Patton cheered before bursting into song. Logan groaned and rolled their eyes, pulling their hat further over their ears in a vain attempt to block out Patton’s off-key, high-pitched singing.
“Your brother is really something else, isn’t he?” Virgil commented, landing on Logan’s shoulder. “Probably has a lot of friends back home.”
“Oh, he does. More than I do, at least. Hell, I’m convinced most of my classmates are closer with him than with me,” Logan answered, hoping the quaver in their voice had not been heard.
“Relax, Logan. You still have time to make friends. You just have to get to know people. You have time if you get back home.” Logan stopped, breath wheezing out of their lungs as their legs shook. Virgil’s beak snapped shut as he took in Logan’s state, the pieces connecting in a horrifying picture, and he flew off to grab Remy’s tail and bring the cat’s attention back to the panicking teen. They turned, tail swishing in irritation (Virgil realized with a start that he could tell Remy’s pronouns had switched. He did not want to know how he knew), before their eyes fell on the panicking Logan, who had sunk to the ground and curled up into a ball. Remy dashed over, Patton close behind, eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“Logan, sweetheart, can you hear me?” Remy meowed, rubbing against their leg. They just curled into themself even more, and Remy backed off instantly. Patton, however, did not comprehend what was going on, and pulled Logan into a hug, ignoring the way Logan’s breathing worsened and tears started to fall faster.
“Lolo, it’s okay. Do I need to kiss away the hurt?” Virgil gritted his teeth and shot Remy a look, the black cat understanding instantly and curling their tail around Patton’s wrist.
“Patton, sweetie, let’s give Logan some space,” they murmured. Patton shook his head stubbornly and clung tighter.
“No, hugging always makes me feel better, so it has to make Logan feel better too!” Patton insisted. Virgil shook his head, scarily in unison with Logan’s, but luckily Remy was calm and collected, trying to get Patton to let go by himself.
“Sometimes hugs don’t work, sweetie. Logan’s told me hugs don’t work. Why don’t you let go and you can maybe hug him later, okay?” Patton blinked but complied, slowly letting go and shuffling away, Remy following him and allowing Virgil to calm Logan down.
“Okay, Logan, can you breathe in for 4 seconds with me? Then hold for 7, and exhale for 8. Can you do that with me?” Virgil asked softly, perching on the ground in front of Logan. He exaggerated his breathing, and slowly, slower than Virgil would like, Logan managed to match Virgil’s breathing.
“My… my apologies, that was silly of me,” Logan mumbled. Virgil shook his head and hopped closer, glaring up at Logan.
“Nope, not silly, don’t apologize,” he growled. “I made you panic by being an ass.”
“But you’re right-”
“No! You’re going to get back home! I’m making sure of it!” Virgil yelled, feathers puffing up. Logan flinched, and Virgil lowered his voice to continue talking. “You’re getting home, Logan. I’m sorry for suggesting that you won’t.”
“It… it is quite alright, Virgil,” Logan murmured, voice ringing clear in the near-silent air around them. “I know you didn’t meant to.”
“Good. You’re going to get home, Logan, you and Patton. Now, let’s find a place for the night.” Logan nodded and stood up, scooping up Virgil and continuing along the path, ignoring the sad eyes of Patton staring at their back.
***************************************************
That night, Virgil watched and waited, ensuring that both humans were asleep before taking off, flying through the air, relying on the magic of the Unknown to allow him to reach his location faster. The Unknown listened, perhaps knowing how important his task was, and he landed on the windowsill of the house after only a few minutes of flying.
“Come in, come in, you know I don’t like the horrid night air,” a voice rasped out. Virgil slipped inside, leaving the window cracked so he could quickly escape if needed.
“Talyn. I can’t do it.” The witch in front of him froze and turned, amber eyes flashing dangerously. Virgil shoved down the anxiety and glared up at Talyn, refusing to back down this time. This was important; he could not allow any harm to come to Logan or Patton, not after he had discovered a growing attachment to both of them.
“So you’re going back on our deal? Is your family really that much more important?” Talyn growled, voice dripping with sweet poisoned honey. Virgil rolled his eyes and fluffed his feathers in defiance, giving the bird equivalent of a smirk to Talyn.
“My family would approve of my choice, so fuck off. Goodbye forever.” With that, Virgil hopped off the windowsill and flew away, ignoring the screeching curses Talyn hurled at him. He laughed, feeling the lightness of freedom from his devil’s bargain washing over him. The Unknown, sensing his happiness, allowed him to find his group again, this time much faster.
He landed on the branch above Logan, ruffling out his feathers before settling in, only to be startled by the smooth voice of Remy.
“Where were you, Chickadee?” Remy growled, tail swishing and violet eyes narrowed. Virgil froze, feathers puffing up in fear, as he turned to meet the glowing, vicious eyes of the black cat.
“Remember how I mentioned Talyn?”
“Yes, I was wondering what your game was, bringing up an evil witch who is known to kidnap and damage children,” Remy hissed, eyes narrowed. Virgil flinched back but stood his ground, determined to not cow before Remy.
“I made a deal with them.”
“You what,” Remy hissed, claws unsheathing. Virgil took a deep breath and finished.
“And I basically just told them to fuck off because I’m not helping them anymore.” Remy snorted, hackles instantly lowering. Virgil giggled a bit with them, and all the tension evaporated from the air almost instantly.
“That… that was brilliant,” Remy gasped out, tears leaking from their eyes. Virgil nodded, still giggling, and leaned into Remy.
“They’ll be safe,” Virgil whispered. Remy purred in agreement, and that is how the two of them fell asleep, curled into each other’s sides and content rumbling up through their throats.

(this is from my au where remus and sirius take harry before dumblebitch could get a hold of him and moved to Russia. will be writing more on this au as a method of coping with whatever the fuck jk is doing to the story now.  i apologize for any bad grammar ect) sirus stretched in his bed, the covers still slightly damp. muddy foot prints all around the sides, some leaves scattered on his floor, he looked over at remus who was sleeping like the dead, a loos bandage wrapped around his shoulder from last nights.full moon. hearing little pads on the floor he knew harry was up and out of bed, pulling his long hair back into a bun held with his wand he kissed remus on the cheek with no reply and walked out into the cold hall way “what are you doin you little devil”  “im scavenging” “oh? scavenging for what” he said lifting harry so he was like a cat across his chest  “breakfast! for uncle moony!”  “oh how very thoughtful of you little one, ill help” kissing his forehead then letting him back on his feet like a whind up car into their kitchen.  pulling his wand out of his hair brushing it over his sholders  “what are we hungry for this morning?” “hot chocolate?”  “i can make that work, how about food little one” “toast?” “lovely” his want flickering whispering commands around the kitchen as the appliances came to life, stove lit, chocolate bars coming out of the cupboard, bread toasting mid air. sirius was just about to start stirring the hot coco himself when he head little harry gasp from his stool “what is it harry?” “uncle padds you have cut on your back” “do i now?” he hadnt even felt it, leaving the cooking for the magic kitchen he went to the bathroom to look at the cut in the mirror to reveal a bruised looking scrape. from his shoulder blade to the small of his back. the memories of the night before came pouring in, moony had gone to walk in the woods around in the afternoon as to get as far away from people as possible, as soon as harry was asleep and the moon was up sirius had turned into padfoot and followed the smells and sounds of the familiar werewolf. moony had already killed a bird when he found him, watching him till moony finally smelt him among the trees and the normal chase began. moony had ran into a low hanging branch without thinking hence the bandages on remuses shoulder but hed forgotten he himself was pushed against a boulder somewhere along the line.      “harry get my wand will you? nothing a bit of magic wont help” harry nodded and jumped off his seat on the closed toilette. sirius washed his hands and face, inspecting the redish hue around his eyes. i must have really hurt last night to have cried in his sleep. just then, he head the familiar croaky broken voice “did i do that?” 
“i dont think so, we ran a new route this time, i ran into a rock at some point” he lied. trying to hide the vague claw marks on the other side of his ribs from the actual push. remuses eyes where the same as the fist time they helped him with a run and hurt one of them. “oi remmy, you couldnt have helped it. and its no big deal. you dont come back from every battle unscathed” remus only looked at his face and cupped his cheek, eyes emitting  the regret he felt.    interrupted by the stomping of little harry “IVE GOT THE WaND! oh good morning uncle moony” remus turned and smiled  “good morning harry” ruffling his curly hair  “hey harry im sure your breakfast is done why dont you go eat that,we’ll be there in a few minutes” sirius spoke, harry replied with a nod before scampering off again.  “remus, im fine... dont beat yourself up about it. here you can treat it for me” sirius sat down on the closed seat again waiting for remus to pull or the band-aids or his own wand to cover the wound. he head the rustling and clinks of the potions they kept in the cupboard, mostly disinfectants for such occasions.  “hows your shoulder”  “its fine now”  “should we make a run to the healers?” “i dont think i need it but you probably should.”  cotton swabs of potion cooled the mild burning he had been feeling, and the second swab eased the discomfort all together, then a bandage over the whole thing. “i think thats it” sirius turned around to look at his husband. “come here” in reply the taller man knelt down so they were at eye level.  “good morning remus”  “good morning sirius... i love you” sirius hugged him close, lanky arms wrapping around him being mindful of the newly patched up back. “i love you too” kissing his cheek, nose,  and the scars that scattered them before finally pecking his lips.  “breakfast?” “please”

ships that drank the sea
Rhaenys rises with the sun. It’s something Elia’s never been able to do herself, but even as a babe her daughter always preferred to wake at dawn rather than a more palatable hour. There had been wet nurses offering to take care of her to let Elia rest, but she wasn’t about to let some stranger nurse her child, rock her, care for her, she would not.
Though at least as a baby, Rhaenys could do little more than wail for attention. Now, she can escape from her room and run into Elia’s, then leap onto the bed with the energy only a five-year-old can harness. These days Elia expects to be awakened rudely, but it’s never gotten any less unpleasant. Especially when it’s accompanied by the damn cat who always seems to blame her for his mistress’s overexcitement. She has the claw marks to prove it, too.
“Darling, why don’t you go find your father? Or Grandmother?”
She’d been having a nice dream. It’s dwindled into nothing already, as dreams are wont to do; all she can remember is a voice, and a touch full of naught but desire.
“I want you, Mama,” Rhaenys complains. “And I’m hungry.”
Elia sighs. She may as well concede to her daughter’s wishes. The dream is long gone now. “All right,” she says at last. “I’m coming.”
Rhaenys pulls her from the bed, her chatter all running together as Elia tries to fully rouse herself and put on something decently presentable. Breakfast is laid out in full on the dining table by the time they arrive, Rhaegar appearing just as groggy as she—it seems she was not the only one Rhaenys had pounced on—and Rhaella just the opposite. Her good-mother been like that ever since Aerys perished two years back: happy to greet the morning, her skin free of bruises, her frame no longer fragile as a bird’s. She smiles often and much, and Rhaenys runs into her waiting arms.
The food is appetizing—she wishes it didn’t. Her first indication that she was pregnant with Rhaenys was her inability to so much as see bacon without wanting to heave. She’s experienced that only twice since, and both had ended up as blood on her sheets. She knows the lords have been hinting to Rhaegar to set her aside for someone more fertile, as though she’s doing this on purpose, someone able to give him a male heir of his body.
Or…well. Any child of his body. Not that anyone knows there’s a distinction. None except her. No one expects to see him in Rhaenys, and so they don’t.
She’s yanked out of her daydream by something Rhaegar says, her fork halfway to her mouth. “What did you say?”
“I said Arthur returns today,” he repeats, seemingly not noticing the way her face goes white. “The Brotherhood is no more, as are the Essosi sellswords they’d brought to their side. And it’s about time, too. You’ve been missing your uncle, haven’t you, my sweet?”
Rhaenys is a rush of exclamations, most of them unintelligible, but all Elia can do is choke down her water and try to keep her composure. Four years he’s been gone. Four years of trying to forget he is very much not Rhaenys’s uncle, honorary or otherwise. Four years of half-hoping he’d be killed in his efforts so it would make everything easier, and then feeling so sick she couldn’t breathe at the prospect of losing him for good.
“Elia, are you all right?”
Rhaella’s tone is one of concern; the sharpness of her stare is not. She knows, then. Elia had surmised as much long ago, the way she would frown when Rhaenys would say something a certain way or grin just-so, the way she knows the color of her eyes did not come from Rhaegar like everyone else believes. But she’d never brought it up, to Elia or to anyone else, perhaps clinging to the illusion that if the truth were never spoken, the resemblance could be written off as coincidence and nothing more.
Elia manages to school her voice into something like normalcy. “Yes, I…I am simply overcome by the news. It will be good to have him home.”
She very much would like to feign illness in order to not greet him at the gates, but knows she could not get away with it this time, not when she had shown herself to be perfectly healthy mere hours ago. Arthur rides in with a weary group of soldiers at his back, but Elia is struck by how much he hasn’t changed. There is a scar that cuts through his brow that hadn’t been there before and another across his cheek—no doubt he has more hidden beneath his armor—but his smile when he hugs Rhaegar is the same, the way he bows to her without moving his eyes from hers is the same, the way he glances just a bit too long at Rhaenys is the same. She feels as though she’s been thrust back four years ago; no, thrust back into her girlhood when they’d had no cares in the world except avoiding servants as they kissed feverishly in the closest alcove they could find.
But they’re not careless youths anymore, and remembering their past will do only harm.
She skillfully avoids him for a full week before he seeks her out. It is under a guise, to be sure, an insistence that he accompany her and Rhaenys for a walk through the godswood for protection and to catch up. Rhaenys’s affinity for the foreboding forest baffles him as much as it had everyone else, but Rhaegar had just laughed and said it must be the blood of the First Men in her, the blood of the Blackwoods.
Not Blackwood, Elia had thought. Dayne.
They walk silently for an hour, watching Rhaenys kick fallen leaves about and occasionally peer up at the brown bark of the trees that should be white or imitate the caw of a roosting raven. But the silence builds until it’s stifling, until Elia can take it no more.
“Why are you here?” She can’t bring herself to look at him; if she does, she’s lost. “You shouldn’t have come.”
Quiet falls again for several minutes as he thinks of what to say. In the end, he chooses not to answer her at all. “She’s grown.”
“Yes, that is what happens as a child gets older.”
“She looks like you.”
“No she doesn’t,” she says with a caustic laugh. “She looks like you. Thank the gods everyone’s too bloody blind to see it.”
She does turn to him now. Half of her wants to slap him. The other half wants to kiss him until the pain of the last four years fades away. “Every day I thought of you both,” he says. “Every damn day I thought I might never see you again.”
“Don’t do this,” she snaps. “She’s not your daughter, Arthur. She can never be your daughter.”
There’s a mutinous look in his dark eyes, eerily similar to the one Oberyn so often has. The one of a man who would do just about anything, never mind the consequences. But it lasts only a moment before it vanishes and he looks away from her and instead to Rhaenys, who obliviously, happily, plays in a pile of red leaves.
“She’ll always be mine.” There’s conviction in his words, but…desolation, too. Anguish. “She’ll always be ours.”
Yes, she will.
As much as Rhaegar loves Rhaenys—and she knows he does, more than anything—from the very beginning there’s been a part of her that’s felt a sense of wrongness with it all. The guilt is oppressing, consuming—she knows it’s unfair and reprehensible to think such things. She’s not his, not by blood, nor could he ever discover it.
More than once she’s wondered if she could tell him, if his love for Rhaenys would supersede her sin, but it’s a risk she cannot take. Not when it could spell Rhaenys’s death, or banishment. Or her own. Even a slim chance of being separated from her daughter is too much to bear. She would square her fate with the gods one day, she’s sure of that, but this is a secret she will take to her grave.
“Do you ever think about it?” he asks. “If things were different?”
“They’re not.”
“If they were.”
A vise slowly tightens around her chest, grabs hold of her heart. “Of course I think about it,” she whispers. “But it doesn’t matter, Arthur. It does no good to imagine what may or may not have been. Things are what they are now, and there’s no changing them. Why must you make it worse?”
“You know why.”
He’s close—too close, were anyone to pass by—and four years’ worth of missing him, of worrying for him, is suddenly too much. She pulls him behind a tree and crushes her mouth to his, the sensation as familiar as it is illicit; it brings to mind the memories she’d tried so hard to bury, his bare skin against hers, the desperation, the want. The look on his face as he held Rhaenys in his arms.
“I can’t love you,” she says against his lips, so quietly not even a mighty weirwood could hear, “and I always will.”
