Arkham Survivor AO3 Story Baby!

For the longest while, I've been posting chapters of Arkham Survivor on AO3, bit by bit. So far the story has 25 chapters already down and I am now confident to officially share it with you guys :,D

I'm no expert writer by any means, plus my Dyslexia kicks my ass some of the time when writing too, and I do try to make it as polished as I can possibly make it, to the best of my abilities lol

So yea- that's pretty much it. It's bit of a dark story in some parts with violence and all sorts sorts, just as a heads up. Other than that, I hope you enjoy reading it as I worked hard on making it as story driven as I possibly can will a few silly moments mixed in :,D 💚

Reference I used to make the drawing of Foxy below the cut:

Naming (by Colony & Leader)

The Growling Thunder Colony - Flashy names that draw attention to the cat's personality rather than the cat themself.

Star Bluewhisker - The most creative names she can conjure up, will spend days thinking of something fierce and flashy while considering the personality of the cat. Despises most body part suffixes and never gives them to her warriors unless specifically requested. (Name examples: Darkwatcher, Cindersun, Burningheart, Hazelroar)

The Lurking Shadow Colony - Plain and simple. -Pelt and -fur suffixes are very common.

Star Brokentail - Spends little time thinking of meaningful names but at least diverges from the same suffixes. Occasionally gives pretty good names. (Name examples: Nightshademuzzle, Pinescatter)

The Whispering Wind Colony - Less skill or personality-based, more matching or similar family names. A littermate's name ending in -nose will likely result in the rest of the litter's names ending as -path, catcher, or -pounce.

Star Sedgetail - Willing to branch out from Wind tradition and give a cat a name different from their siblings if he feels it's earned or the siblings are far too different to share suffixes. (Name examples: Adderbite & Bubblewing, Mudclover & Claycatcher, Daisytail & Gorsetail, Emberstep & Ashfoot)

The Tranquil River Colony - Direct opposite of the Thunders. Names are more based on the cat themself than any skill or personality. Body suffixes are very common.

Star Crookedtree - Less kept together names than all the leaders. Still tries to follow River tradition but is more willing to go with what fits a cat. Attempting to take a page out of Bluestar's book and have more "flashy" names. (Name examples: Saugerstorm, Leopardtooth, Sunnysky, Moss-shine)

YIPPEE CRK IT LURKS AU

Idk how to explain it other than its based off the roblox game so have fun with that (basically waking up from nightmare after nightmare after nightmare) ANYWAYS

CORRUPTED MYSTIC FLOUR

Mystic Flour usually roams around in the darker parts of the expanded basement. She has advanced hearing and moves faster when it’s pitch black. She has the power to turn off the electrical power when she hears any unusual noise (ex: alarms, sudden slamming, etc.).

AU STORYLINE: PURE VANILLA hits an alarm by accident when he thought it would open the door next to it. He panics and goes inside a locker to hide since he’s well aware of the creatures lurking around. This can end in two ways.

One: PURE VANILLA accidentally opens the locker door when CORRUPTED MYSTIC FLOUR is in front of it, causing him to be blinded by CORRUPTED MYSTIC FLOUR’s eyes before dying.

Two: He waits until CORRUPTED MYSTIC FLOUR turns the power back on, meaning that she has left the area.

CORRUPTED ETERNAL SUGAR

Eternal Sugar is VERY fast. She has a small stature and will crash into things quite often due to her unable to control her speed. She usually lurks in the woods, meaning she is nearby the cabin. She doesn’t like to go in the cabin for reasons she cannot explain nor can she remember. Her wings don’t do anything, they’re just for show.

AU STORYLINE: After SHADOW MILK escaped CORRUPTED WHITE LILY, he goes in an elevator that leads to the forest. There’s a path that is lit up with street lamps. He follows it and ends up finding a cabin. He decides to go inside to see if there could be anything lying around that could help him get out of this situation. As he’s looking around, he finds a note saying “I’m still alive.” Right after reading said note, CORRUPTED ETERNAL SUGAR bursts down the door. This could end in two ways.

One: SHADOW MILK freezes from surprise and fear and CORRUPTED ETERNAL SUGAR pounces on him, eating him alive.

Two: SHADOW MILK rushes to the cabin basement and hides there until CORRUPTED ETERNAL SUGAR leaves.

PURE VANILLA

Vanilla is the main character of this story. He has a brother named Shadow Milk and his mother is named White Lily. He is usually curious and cautious when in threatening situations. He’s very open about being a mama’s boy.

AU STORYLINE: < IN OTHER CHARACTERS DESCRIPTIONS >

SHADOW MILK

Shadow Milk is PURE VANILLA’s older brother. He’s usually laid back and stays in his room all day. He gets annoyed when PURE VANILLA comes into his room uninvited and will lash out at PURE VANILLA for entering his room uninvited. He doesn’t want to admit, but he’s a mama’s boy.

AU STORYLINE: PURE VANILLA ends up going in SHADOW MILK’s room to ask him something, but SHADOW MILK yells at him to get out immediately when he sees PURE VANILLA opening his door. Later in the story, when PURE VANILLA inserts a DVD into the TV, it switches to SHADOW MILK’s POV. SHADOW MILK witnesses WHITE LILY’s death in this nightmare and notices the sudden voice change. He realizes that the person speaking all nice and giddy is not his mother, but is CORRUPTED WHITE LILY. SHADOW MILK reaches a door at the end of the hallway that is actually an elevator. He uses the elevator and goes down, the doors opening to reveal the forest.

CORRUPTED WHITE LILY

Corrupted White Lily is a skin-walker who takes WHITE LILY’s place after killing her. Her neck is rather fragile and snaps every time she moves her head. She cant walk straight and will stumble around. Her voice is really distorted. She is NOT related to PURE VANILLA, SHADOW MILK, CORRUPTED SHADOW MILK, or any of the other corruptions. She is in a canon relationship with CORRUPTED SHADOW MILK. They are NOT blood-related.

AU STORYLINE: After killing WHITE LILY and crawling into her skin to take her place, she speaks through the speakers and instructs SHADOW MILK to go through the left door. This can go two ways.

One: SHADOW MILK can go through the left door, which is a dead end. CORRUPTED WHITE LILY will let out a distorted and cracked laugh before snapping SHADOW MILK’s neck; killing him.

Two: SHADOW MILK can go through the right door, which will lead to an elevator and the story continues as follows:

SHADOW MILK goes inside the elevator and goes down it, the doors revealing a forest.

CORRUPTED SHADOW MILK

Corrupted Shadow Milk doesnt show his face at all. He is rather secretive and likes turning his plans into games and yes or no questions. He carries around a staff that is actually a microphone. His voice is rather static-y due to him communicating through a radio all the time. He is NOT related to PURE VANILLA, SHADOW MILK, WHITE LILY, or any of the other corruptions. He is in a canon relationship with CORRUPTED WHITE LILY. They are NOT blood-related.

AU STORYLINE: PURE VANILLA ends up in a watchtower after falling asleep. He sees three monitors that show three cameras and a light that shows where the watchtower is. He taps the microphone, and CORRUPTED SHADOW MILK begins his schemes. CORRUPTED SHADOW MILK asks PURE VANILLA to play a game. This can go two ways.

One: If PURE VANILLA says no, CORRUPTED SHADOW MILK will go silent and show his face on the security camera. He’ll jump through the monitor and beat PURE VANILLA over the head with his microphone staff until PURE VANILLA dies.

Two: If PURE VANILLA says yes, the story will continue as follows:

CORRUPTED SHADOW MILK will ask to describe PURE VANILLA’s location and ask if he’s alone. PURE VANILLA doesn’t respond, and CORRUPTED SHADOW MILK will leave where he was and begin making his way towards PURE VANILLA. CORRUPTED SHADOW MILK begins banging on the watchtower door until PURE VANILLA wakes up, the banging coming from reality.

[get-total-eclipsed]

Finally publishing this! Took 7 weeks but it is here now!

[betterluucii]

Idk how many of these I've done but

[pencilofawesomeness]

Okay so a bunch of you are definitely familiar with fun little FT in TWST AU stuff, and with all the enabling, I feel like it's something of a group effort at this point.

So riddle me this

I've figured out the other dorms, but Savanaclaw was giving me a pause, because it's the dorm for repression, so I got options. (Though my first instinct was to give Loke the whole housewarden treatment, lol. He's definitely a contender.)

Though I also haven't fully developed everyone's in-story backstories yet so how emotionally messed up they are is up in the air. So I have some biases but without divulging any of my thoughts just yet, I want to know who y'all think is the most likely to snap.

What is an overblot?

(For those are watching me spin in my chair and are here for the FT portion.) Long story short it is characterized by:

—having a large supply of magic and being a good mage —having years worth of emotional stress and/or trauma, built up and ready to burst —a suitable impetus that forces all that emotional stress out in the open, usually in a dramatic way, and usually while using way too much magic —and then it is a matter of getting overrun by the icky stuff and gaining a super-powered evil form and then almost dying in the most dramatic way possible, usually while inflicting unspeakable AoE violence
