In the red dark [5.8k] @sergeantxrogers

Tattoo artist!Bucky x Reader

His eyes trapped yours in their vice-like grip as he stared up at you, fingers brushing against the hem of your jeans, and you swallowed heavily. You felt the rush of alcohol in your head fizzle out into smoke and embers as you sobered up quicker than you ever have in your life.

"Are you sure?"

You swallowed again. Nodded.

There was a small twitch in his eyebrows, and he narrowed his gaze. "It'll hurt."

Despite your heartbeat drowning out all sounds around you, despite the cold sweat on the back of your neck, despite the knowledge that you'll probably regret this - whatever this actually was - in the morning, you smiled.

"Then I guess I'll just have to hold your hand."

{personal comment: This does something to me, I can’t even explain it, but I enjoyed it so much and I would love to read more}

Redamancy [7.3k] @renxzs

Roommate!Bucky x reader

Summary: Maybe it was a bit naive to think moving in with your best friend and long-time crush, Bucky Barnes, was going to be some smooth road that led to an admittance of mutual feelings for one another and a happily-ever-after ending, wrapped up nicely in a bow. Naive indeed; especially when you have to consider the fact that Bucky is the biggest womanizer you know.

Light, asunder [8.9k] @divine-mistake

Merc!Bucky x Prinzess!Reader

Summary: “Don’t ever do that again.” It would sound like his usual chastising, but Bucky’s voice is soft. If you weren’t crying so hard, struggling to catch your breath, maybe you would hear the note of fear within his words. “Don’t care how mad you get, don’t care how much I piss you off. You don’t go running off into the woods where I can’t find you, Star. Never again.”

You curl your fingers into the fabric of his shirt, right above where his heart lay beating in his chest, and hope he realizes that it’s a promise. A swear.

{personal comment: This is so magical somehow and I love it so much. Bucky growing soft and protective always has me weak}

Bucky x reader

Summary: When you come back from the blip in the graveyard having just been at your grandmother’s funeral, the cemetery seems like the safest place to be. Cleaning old gravestones had certainly never been a dream of yours, but now you find yourself there most days, scraping dirt and moss and algae from stones of people long dead and most likely long forgotten.

My sleeping beauty

What happens when you accidentally break a curse

Tags: smut, mdni, f!reader, witch!reader, cursed prince!nanami, oral (f receiving), fated lovers, fingering, praises, names (love), nanami making sweet sweet love to you, sudden love confession, creampie, just me being feral for this man,

Author's note: I kinda got inspired from real life because when I wake up I hit every single object in front of me and I can bearly stand on my feet. So try to think of someone who was asleep for a few good years. Might as well not get up from the bed at all.

Author's note: I'd suck the soul out of this man.

Masterlist kinktober masterlist

You were looking for some plants that grow in a very specific region. It wasn't something new for you, since you do that all the time. Unfortunately, this time you woke up with some complications.

You were walking around looking for what you needed when you saw a castle a little bit away from where you were. It looked abandoned, vines and all kind of vegetation taking over it. It had lot of cracks and it looked old and very much damaged.

You couldn't ask for a better place to make as your temporary home.

So, you went there, happily preparing everything you needed to accommodate yourself in a tower that looked in a presentable condition and then left to look for the plant you needed once again.

Everything went smoothly, you found what you were looking for, no one disturbed you and now all you had to do is prepare the potion you wanted to make so badly. However, you needed to do the potion on a sunny day, and outside it was raining. And since you didn't had the perfect environment to complete your quest, you decided to explore the castle.

It was indeed old. From the furniture to the decorations. You haven't seen that style in a good couple of years.

It had its own charm though. It looked like a time capsule.

You won't be able to find buildings like these anymore, and even if you do, it was just some cheap imitation of how things used to be. It won't look as authentic as this.

This place was huge, outside and on the inside. Rooms after rooms, and windows so tall that it reaches from the floor to the ceiling. Paintings bigger than yourself and long rugs that looked like they needed some cleaning. You could do a few spells here and there, but was the pain really worth it when you won't spend a lot of time there anyway?

And besides, you liked the place just the way it was. Forgotten by humans and full of dust.

"This place stinks of magic." you said after you walked into a corridor far away from where you placed your little laboratory.

The hallway you just walked into was getting absolutely no light from outside, no windows could be seen. And the walls were full of green and plants, long spiky vines that went to a door, blocking any access to it.

Not for you though. With a hand movement the door was free to use, now being wide open leading to a room with a single large window and a bed.

The moment you stepped into the room you could sense the source of the magic you kept feeling, and it lend you to the bed.

There was something in it, but you couldn't see what exactly it was. Maybe it was a ancient relic, or a very rare magic object that would go good with your collection of antiques. Whatever it was, it got your attention and you moved closer to the bed.

You expect to see something unseen before, since this place was filled with this overbearing magic that was playing with your senses, but instead, you saw a beautiful man sleeping.

You blinked a few times, trying to understand what's going on. Why was he the source of this bad feeling, why he reak like evil magic.

You were about to step away, not wanting to get caught in the middle of this but when you tried to turn around you lost your balance and fell on top of the sleeping man, your face right into his, lips touching softly. You quickly got up, wanting nothing more than to run away from there. But he woke up.

Eyes looking at you and at your failed attempt to get out of there. Now stuck in that room and owning an explanation on why you woke him up.

"Um-" you bite your lower lip, not knowing what to say. "I'm sorry for waking you up."

He didn't said a thing, slowly getting up, still sitting in bed and looking around the room for a moment. He looked confused at first, he looked confused at his surroundings and at you.

The room felt a lot more clear now that he woke up, the bad magic disappearing a little with each second that pass by. And he seems to regain his consciousness too, now looking less confused and at peace somehow.

"It's you." he said after a while, making you jump when you heard his deep husky voice. He got at the edge of the bed, looking like he was about to get up, but he didn't. "I never thought that you'll appear." he said, a hand going over his face, massaging his forehead for a moment. "I apologize." he sighed. "I just woke up and I'm a bit dizzy."

"No, it's alright." you said, surprised at how calm he was to wake up with a stranger in his room. "I'm the one who should apologize for entering your home without permission."

"It's alright. I'm sure you had a good motive." his words only made you feel guilty for staying without even checking if someone lives in the castle. "Plus, it's raining." you forgot about that.

He was way too understanding, and it was suspicious.

Was this a trap? Was this a big elaborate scheme to get rid of you in a complicated way? You don't remember getting on anyone's bad side so this whole situation was confusing.

"W- well..!" you had to get out of there. "I will take my leave now. If you excuse me." you said, ready to run away from there.

"Where are you going?" he tried to get up, but ended up falling back on the bed. "Come here, let's talk." you were on high alert, waiting for anything to jump out the shadows and hit. You were extremely paranoid and the fact that the room was magic free now was even more suspicious. "How long have I slept?"

"I don't know." you answer truthfully.

"Aren't you sent here by my parents?" you shook your head. "Then why are you here?"

"I'm doing some research about the local flora." you weren't lying, but you weren't saying the truth either. It was better to not reveal too much.

"I understand." he didn't sounded like a bad guy, but you couldn't trust him completely. "You see, I was cursed right after I was born." that explains the unpleasant magic. "I fell into a deep slumber. And I couldn't be woken up no matter how hard people tried."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you broke the curse." but how?

"I didn't do anything though?" he shook his head.

"Only the true love's kiss could have saved me." he chuckled at your dumbfounded expression. "You don't have to believe me. I had doubts about it too. However, I see that it was indeed true. And personally, I'm glad it ended up like this. I'm happy your my savior." he spoke with such a calm voice. For a moment you actually believed his words, making your heart skip a beat and your face getting hotter.

Was he saying the truth? You might consider any of his advances if his words were true.

"I really didn't do much." you said, playing with your fingers. "I tripped and fell on you. It was an accident, I swear."

"It's alright. I'm not mad." this was only making you feel guilty. "I hate to ask this, but can you help me get up? I'm a bit rusty from all that sleeping." your body moved on it's own towards him, grabbing his hand in yours and helping him stand on his feet.

He was tall. You didn't noticed that when he was sitting, but damn, he was really tall. And now that your closer to him, he looks a lot more muscular too. Broad shoulders, and the way his hand was a lot bigger than yours. His touch was gentle, while his steps were clumsy.

"I want to get closer to the window." he said and you stayed by his side until he got to the closest window.

The castle was surrounded by ruins. Not a single civilian could be seen. Anything human related looked like it was slowly evaporating, getting destroyed by time and nature.

"This place used to be full of life." he said, a hint of sadness could be heard in his voice. And it was very much showed on his face.

"The king moved the palace somewhere else."

"I see." so they forgot about him. They chose to leave him behind and continue to move on.

"The new location is much worse, if you ask me." you tried to console him in a way or another. "And the kingdom is not doing as good as it used to be since they moved the palace. It's their lose, if you ask me." he could only sigh.

"It still makes me feel useless."

"Don't be. I'm sure you'll do much better without them, if that's what you want. I can take you there if you wish to." why were you trying to please this man was a mystery. Whenever he looked at you your knees would go weak, you wanted nothing more but for him to be happy and in a good shape.

"I want to take a look around the castle before I decide." and his wish came true. You showed him around, you cooked for him and when the night came, you even looked around for a better room for him to sleep in. "I'm not weak, you don't have to look after me." he said that but he couldn't even stand on his feet on his own.

"Say that when you can get out of bed without my help." this situation was making him feel even more miserable. He was abandoned, being way too useless for anyone's help and now he couldn't do anything on his own because his body felt like gelatin.

How much time did he actually slept? It couldn't be one or two days by the way this place looked like, it couldn't be weeks or months either.

But you were there for him. You helped him with anything he needed, you even forgot about your own research and only focused on him. And your help did wanders because a few days later he was like a brand new person. He was back to his own self. But if you're being honest, you're a little sad about it. You couldn't be as close to him as before. So you had no choice but to watch him from afar.

"Have you decided what are you going to do in the future?" you asked him while you were walking around the castle.

"Ah.. Well." he forgot about that.

"Do you want to go to the palace? You don't have anything to do here anyway." he knew that. "Or.. You could come with me." he looked at you, not sure if it was you who said those words or if it was his imagination playing with him. "I'm planning on leaving this place as soon as possible." being around him was not good for your heart, plus, if he never planned on being with you then you're only playing with your feelings.

"You're leaving?" he asked. You nodded and kept looking right ahead, too flustered to look at him or in his direction.

"I finished my research a long time ago. I was waiting for the right time to leave."

"I want to come with you." he said, still not believing that you're the one who suggested him to come with you.

"You're sure? My place is not as luxurious as this castle." he'll lit this place on fire without even blinking if that means he'll be with you.

"I'll go to the end of the world if you're there. I'll come with you wherever you plan on going." you smiled softly. He was too much for you. He said whatever he wanted to say without thinking twice and it always took you by surprise.

"Then, how about we leave tomorrow? I have to gather my stuff and then we can leave once the sun is out." he'll do whatever you want him to.

He helped you pack and by the time you were finish it was already dark outside.

For a moment, you managed to slip out that room, going somewhere further away from the tower, back to where you found Nanami sleeping.

The room looked the same, the big bed in the middle of the room, the window that was still open from the last time you went there and the big moon shining on the sky. Tonight it was full of stars.

You could see this scenery from anywhere in the castle, but it looked extremely beautiful from that specific window.

"I knew you would be here." his voice could be heard from behind you.

"I was exploring the castle for one more time before we left." he stopped next to you, looking out the window in the same direction as you did.

"You look beautiful tonight." you giggled. "You look beautiful all the time." oh, but could he stop for a moment. He was always complimenting you.

"You look beautiful too, Kento." he smiled, being more happy with the way you said his name than the compliment.

"You're more beautiful." you could only laugh at his stubbornness.

"You are."

"Let me kiss you." one of his hands went to your hips, waiting for your answer before he would continue to do something.

"Sure." you laughed, still a bit surprised by his words.

Dragging you closer by your hips, his free hand went on your cheek, softly placing his lips against yours. He stood there for a second, liking the way your body feels before getting his face away to look at you, enjoying the expression you had on your face even more.

Your big eyes, and the way you're looking at him. Your lips looked like it was calling him back, and he couldn't get enough of you.

His lips went back on yours, placing a small kiss before another came, and then another, and the more your lips touched the more hungry it became.

That soft delicate kiss was now a much more passionate one. One where your mouths were open and tongues touching, hands traveling on the other's body to discover more. Soft sounds leaving out your mouths when a particular spot was being touched, when it felt too good.

"Stay with me tonight." he said between kisses.

"Mm." you hummed something in response. Too horny to even think of a sentence to formulate.

With small steps, you were walking towards the bed, clothes being taken off and all naked by the time you got to there.

"Lay down." he said, helping you get in bed. "I want to taste more of you." you'd let him explore your body however he wanted.

You nodded, looking at him get in between your legs, placing them on his shoulder and leaving a small kiss on your lower stomach.

He looked up at you for a moment before he lower his head, another kiss placed on your pussy before he took a better look at you. "You're so wet." he said all happily. "For me." he placed another kiss. "I'm going to take good care of you." he slowly kissed your entrance, and then went up until he found your clit, kissing and sucking it as one of his fingers went inside of you.

He kept moving his finger at a low speed while he was giving your clit the attention it needed. And after some time another finger was added, trying to stretch you out as much as it's needed.

"Ken.." you sighed his name. "It feels good. Keep it just like that." if this is how you like it then this is how you'll receive it.

Your hands went to his hair, gripping it softly, making him to curl his fingers.

What was he doing out of you. It was so good that you couldn't even think straight anymore, your mind blank as you felt something building up inside of you. Somehow, you wanted him to stop. Too embarrassed to let him see this part of you. But at the same time you needed that release. It was so close, you could practically taste it and you'll start crying if he actually stops.

Your thighs almost closed, lucky his hands were there to stop you from trapping his head.

"You did good." he said and got up, finding a good position in between your legs.

"Oh, Ken.." he could listen to you and your voice for hours. The way you say his name was more than enough for him.

"Tell me if it hurts." with his cock in his hand, he slowly got inside of you, stopping when just the tip was inside to see if you're in any kind of discomfort. Then he kept going, stopping not even halfway through just to make sure everything was alright.

"Just get in already. I want to feel you." you were impatient. You felt like he was playing with you by how slow he was going.

He dropped some of his body weight into you, his arms placed on either sides of your head, caging you between him and the bed after he got all the way in. He stayed like that for a moment, enjoy the scent and warmth of your body.

It was nice, it felt nice. For him it was the way you were to tight, the way your warm walls were hugging him so nicely. And for you it was the way he split you open. His cock touched so many good places. But he didn't dared to move just yet, he wanted to stay like this for a little longer.

"Ken." you said his name so sweetly.

"Yes, love?" he kissed your forehead.

"Can you move?" he could, but he liked the way things were like at the moment. But he couldn't complain when you looked so lovely for him.

So, he slowly moved his hips. Getting out of you just a little, pausing, and then getting back inside. It wasn't anything wild, but it was enough to make your body heat up even more. Soft sounds leaving your mouth every time he moved, the friction being too good.

The pace was painful slow, truly. But from how he stuffed you up it was more than enough for the moment. The places he touches, the way he felt inside of you. God, he could stay like this forever.

"You feel so good." he praised you, his lips on your forehead, placing a soft kiss before he moved his hips a little faster. Again, it wasn't something too much. It just a little faster, it was still the same old enjoyable pace.

It was more than enough, but you wanted more of him. You wanted to leave kisses all over his body, to touch him more, you wanted his body even closer to yours.

He was killing you softly. You needed something more, you wanted him to go faster, but he was so painfully slow. You wanted him to go deeper, but he seems to hold back.

"Ken." you said his name, placing a kiss on his cheek. "I need more." he hummed, nodding his head and placing his arms somewhere closer to you.

He kissed you before starting to move again, this time deeper, hitting your deepest spot just right. It took you by surprise even if you knew what he was about to do. You couldn't help but gasp every time the tip of his cock was touching that spongy spot.

He wasn't even applying any kind of force, he was just moving in and out of you, not getting even halfway out. He wanted to stay inside of you, he's not stupid to leave you alone when you were so good for him.

Your arms went around his neck, one of your hand going to his hair when his lips touched yours. His kisses were so passionate, full of love and lust. It was full of his feelings for you, making it up for the time he couldn't express how he felt when you two meet. It was his mixed feelings, it was for the way he loved you as a person and for the way he loved and craved for your body and more. He might not say it out loud, but he fell for you the moment he open his eyes.

"I love you." he said after he broke the kiss, giving you time to give him a response. You looked at him, big doe eyes and blinking slowly, trying to understand what he just said. "I'd sleep another hundred of years if that means that I get to meet you again and again." he stopped his hip movement, still inside you. "Ever since I opened my eyes, I loved you." you had a dumb smile on your face, giggling and looking away for a moment.

"Oh, Kento." your laugh was so colorful. "I love you too." he kissed your cheek, then your forehead and then your hair.

He slowly started to move his hips again, somehow, this time more passionately. His lips never leaving your body, kissing every inch on your skin that gets in front of him. He was so determined to make you feel good. He wanted to know that he did well, that he's giving you more pleasure than you ever received.

Maybe he's dumb for being selfish, but he didn't cared when your voice sounded like the best melody he ever heard. The sounds you made, so sweet and melodic, making him to want more.

"There, just right there." you said out of breath when he kept hitting a spot that got you trembling. His lips on yours once again, kissing you hungrily while a hand of his went between your legs, moving his thumb on your clit, making you moan into his mouth.

He kept going, the room filled with filthy noises made by your bodies. Wet sounds of skin against skin, too obscene for anyone else to hear.

"Cum with me, please. Cum with me." you begged, out of breath and too desperate for your sweet release.

He was close too, hang in there for a moment. He'll give you what you're asking for. He won't leave you alone.

A low groan left his body, and with a few more thrusts, he came inside you, going as deep as he could, filling you up.

"We might have to stay here tomorrow as well." he said after a while, both of you finally having somehow more clear minds.

"I don't mind where I am as long as I'm with you." you said, cupping his face with your hands and kissing him.

"I feel the same." he said, kissing your forehead before he started to move his hips again. "You can do it one more time, can you? I haven't had enough of you just yet."

Author's note: It only took me two days to write this and it's very much obviously. I might re write it in the future.

honestly I’d like to see more weird interesting interpretations of the effects a magical or ‘humans are space orcs’ environment could have on a chronically ill character. Like, I have a Ton of random sensitivities that could absolutely screw me over should I end up in Fantasy/Space/Pandora Land, such as:

Mold sensitivity absolutely SCREWING with someone in Bioluminescent Magical Mushroom Land. They walk through the archway or up the path or whatever into the magical tree place and just Immediately pass out. If they’re brought there unconscious, they simply don’t wake up, and eventually when their friends wake up they puzzle together that the illumination for the whole building is just Mushrooms in the Walls.

Someone dealing with a detox issue who currently has a ton of heavy metals in their system walking underneath a floating island being held aloft by magnetism and just bowling over in agony as the current pulls the metals from where their body stowed them into their bloodstream. I’ve sorta had this happen to me, I tried one of those “run a magnetic current thru your body so the metals are dislodged and your body can flush them out” things, but I didn’t know I was dealing with a complete shutdown of the systems that remove toxins from your body (kidney and liver and sweat and more all of it was in complete shutdown I was actively dying dw about it-) so all it did was shoot a bajillion little capsules of poison into my blood with nowhere for them to go and I almost passed out and felt like crud for the next week.

Moon sensitivity being So Much Worse on a planet with multiple moons. People’s hormones and periods and chronic pain spiking randomly with basically no warning or schedule it would SUCK. A character with bipolar is So Much Worse on that planet and none of her alien friends know what’s happening.

Spikes and drops in barometric pressure due to magically summoned storms causing severe chronic pain flare-ups in either the mage summoning the storm or one of their allies whom they didn’t know had joint problems. Same with a planet with a very unstable atmosphere.

Vitamin or nutrient deficiency, or genetic conditions that prevent someone from metabolizing the nutrients in their food and necessitate supplements. This would be HUGE. Can you imagine a human character with anemia, or low vitamin D, or an issue metabolizing folic acid in space? Or in a medieval world that can’t accommodate their needs? Just an alien crew watching in worried confusion as their human slowly grows sluggish, twitchy, forgetful and snappish during an unexpected long haul to a distant outpost. When asked what’s wrong, they say they’re fine, or that their nutrient intake has just been low recently, but they’ve been eating the same things they always have. The ship medic does a brain scan and realizes their grey matter is cannibalizing itself, and he can’t figure out why. The human stops exercising, and when they do, one of their crew mates notices they aren’t sweating anymore. One day they run into the room of another crewmate with a padded floor nest, curl themselves into it, manage to stammer out a “don’t worry, don’t tell others. I’m ok” before they start thrashing. Finally they arrive on base and the human medic is like “Oh dang. You didn’t refill your folinic supplements before you came here did you? Dang. we’re gonna need to keep you on a higher dose for a bit to try to make sure your immune and detox systems don’t crash. How bad were the seizures?” and every alien in the crew is Horrified.

Someone who needs assistive devices but only occasionally has a bad day halfway through the Magic Quest and realizes in horror that they forgot their cane/ can’t currently access their chair. Someone who takes muscle relaxers or painkillers thrice or so a month having a huge flare-up and being immobile for an entire day while rushing to Stop The Evil Lord.

Someone who needs excess oxygen always walking around in an atmospheric suit, even in human-friendly atmospheres, because they’re self-conscious about the breathing tube.

Someone with POTS trying to keep their salt intake up in fantasy medieval Europe where salt is tricky to get, or a space setting where salt is a minor poison to most species.

If I may share my headcanon on how Fae develop in the @valrayne-faeu by @antlered-prince and @owl-bones? Alright great, buckle up, this thing is 1171 words long

Below is a list of what might happen in which month of the ~1 yearlong transformation.

This is a general overview, and your own transformation does not have to perfectly follow this scheme. If any of the symptoms are delayed by more than two months, it is highly advised to see an experienced medic.

Possible event(s) per month:

1. //

2. //

3. Horns/Antlers start forming beneath skin

May cause strong headaches

Fur may grow on legs

Spine may start to elongate

Fur/Scales will sprout after you may feel a small lump

Fingernails may grow sharper

Primary wing-capsules begin forming, skin colored

Fur around wing-capsules may grow over time

4. Horns/Antlers break skin slowly

Feet may grow into paws/hooves

FAST DEVELOPEMENT, PAINFUL

Tail will continue to grow fur/scales and/or in length

Hair may start changing colors

Old hair color stays, but new grown hair may have a different color

Flower-lines may appear on your skin, do not be alarmed

Primary wing-capsules start changing color to main wing color

5. Horns/Antlers continue to grow

If Paws/Hooves formed, they continue developing

Tail may continue growing

Flower-lines may darken in color, and itch heavily- DO NOT DISTURB AREA

Primary wing-capsules continue changing color and growing until ~1.5 fists big

6. If Paws/Hooves formed they should be fully formed now

Ears will elongate, and may sharpen further during the next months

Flower-lines should start forming small flowers for the next months

Secondary wing-capsules may start developing, following the scheme of primary wing-capsules

7. If a long tail formed, it should be fully formed now

Skin on hands and forearms may change color

Secondary wing-capsules change color to main wing color

8. Skin on hands and forearms may start changing texture

Hands may feel stiff

Secondary wing-capsules continue changing color and growing until ~0.75 fists big

9. Horns/Antlers should be longer/wider than your hand by now

May continue growing, may stay the current length

Fingernails may become indistinguishable from hand if color and texture has changed

May itch/feel uncomfortable or disturbing

10. If hands & forearms recolored, they may start to become transparent

If feeling dry, keep the skin moist

If feeling to moist, keep the skin dry

If itching, wear gloves from cow-leather

If a tail has formed, it should be fully formed by now

Flower-lines should be fully covered in (closed) flowers now

Primary and Secondary wing capsules should have finished growing by now

Should feel itchy and/or dry- do not be alarmed, this is normal

11. If recoloration in hands and forearms, they should fully resemble a material now (Wood/Stone/Ice/Water/etc.)

If Flower-lines formed, flowers should open by now

12. Horns may gain a light reflection

Antlers may gain a fuzzy surface

Primary and secondary wing capsules should break open during sleep

Do not be alarmed if your wings seem pale, ruffled, or overly dry or moist, they will gain proper color, texture and stiffness after a few hours to a day

If beetle wings developed, shell will harden for two more months

If any of the month 4 symptoms appear, it is too late to leave the fae realm.

Further development:

First heat-stroke strikes after 1.5 years to ensure a full transformation before mating

When you learn to harness magic is entirely up to how much you are exposed to over the transformation- the more, the earlier you may start to feel the touch of it.

You are very likely to develop night vision if you reside in the winter realm more than two months a least during your transformation.

Your instincts may change to that of a fae/animal- which one is entirely unpredictable

You will develop the ability to take a person's name as soon as you have the slightest fiber of magic within your soul

Many fae have grown taller during transformation. This is does not necessarily happen.

Rarely there are ‘after symptoms’. These show only after 2-3 years and can reach from antennae, over chewing tools to second arm pairs or second pairs of thumbs. These symptoms are usually easily removed by medics, if requested.

Challenges/Discomforts during transformation and how to handle them appropriately:

Itches:

Can reach from light itching to full on rashes

Keep area cool and/or moist. If any of these treatments feel uncomfortable, DO NOT continue cooling/moisturizing

Pains:

Can have all levels of pain

Pain killers, soothing magic, warming and/or avoiding to put pressure on affected area might soothe the pain

If no symptoms have been recognized yet, and you are suffering from headaches, it is very likely to be your horns starting to form

If paws/hooves are developing, avoid walking long distances and keep them warm

Tingling:

Apply light pressure to areas via bandages

If no improvement, leave it b. It is magic settling in your body

Use of magic will worsen the condition

General discomfort:

Perfectly normal to feel uncomfortable during transformation

Soothing magic or satisfying a craving(if you have one) may help

Heat strokes and shivers:

May happen in all courts equally

If heatstroke:

Keep yourself cool

Drink more

You may ask a trusted fae to perform a long lasting cooling spell

Light exercise might help if you feel comfortable enough to do so

If shivers:

Avoid cold at all costs, as the risk of getting sick has been exponentially grown

Keep as warm as possible & comfortable

Rest

Flower-lines, Wing capsules, horns, tails:

Flower-lines: You may apply light pressure and wear clothing over your flower-lines, as long as comfortable. If uncomfortable, you may ask your medic for help- some flower-lines can be removed.

Wing capsules: It is advised to keep your wing capsules uncovered. If you do not feel uncomfortable when wearing clothing over them though, it is your choice to keep them covered or not. Keep your wing capsules warm to ensure a proper development.

Horns: Horns may hurt while growing. There is no sue in covering them up, as there are no nerves within them. They are made from the same material as human finger nails and hair.

Tail: If you develop a tail, there are many tailor shops that offer individually tailored clothing for folk with tails of all kinds. Short tail can be tugged away in wide pants, and if needed, you may wrap a long tail around your waist.

It is important to note that during transformation, your body settles with magic. This temporarily weakens your immune system as your body is using the energy to change its anatomy.

One of the most important things during transformation is to keep yourself comfortable, as stress if highly counterproductive to a calm transformation. There will be challenges, but having a trusted fae with you that is willing to help you is a good help to overcome such obstacles.

If you are feeling unsure of your transformation progress, do not compare yourself to other once-humans, as every transformation is unique.

It is advised to search the help of an experienced medic in case of uncertainty or sickness.

No idea how this turned from a headcanon to a fae-textbook-paragraph, but I hope you enjoyed my rambling =)

[andhumanslovedstories]

I don’t know why it just occurred to me that a bunch of the people who joke “a second [x] has hit the towers” were not alive when 9/11 happened. Like to me that’s a transformative pivot point of my life, a before and after. And to some of you guys, it’s like. History. It’s a thing that happened to other people before you were born.

It's not that I think people shouldn't make 9/11 jokes. I don’t think that, also I'm not in charge of jokes on the internet from everyone in the world, and also some are very funny. Like with most things in the Venn diagram of tasteless and funny, the jokes in the overlap: 1) are pure art, and 2) vary wildly from person to person. But for some reason, I suddenly understood the passage of time and what September 11th being 22 years ago means, and I was like “oh. huh. HUH.” Because now jokes about 9/11 coming from someone with no memory of 9/11, who maybe wasn't even born yet? That is so weird to me. what do you mean you don't remember 9/11. what do you mean you're 19. when I was 19, I remembered 9/11.

I grew up in Bush's America, and Bush's America taught us there were only three eras in history: everything that led up to 9/11, the day of 9/11, and everything that happened because of 9/11. That's the land I'm from, that's how we were brought up back there. If you could study history like a map, then some dates would get to be the capital city. In a territory of a thousand different towns, here’s the town with the star next to its name. If you're zoomed out far enough, the only town with a name at all. It's the mandatory detail, the guaranteed example.

It’s really weird to suddenly feel moored in history, to feel yourself becoming a primary document in some future generation's history essay. I felt a magical chronal mindlink with some middle-aged New York ad man in 1965 listening to teens talk about Pearl Harbor. I felt exactly my age and exactly my nationality. I felt like a time capsule. I felt like my mother that time I asked her what it was like growing up in the 1960s, and she told me about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

Anyway, comedy shows kept playing in New York City. I read an article once about one of the shows, a couple weeks after or a week after or maybe a day after, maybe it was September 12. When the comedian inevitably made a joke about the events of about that bad thing that had happened last Tuesday, the crowd reacted. But I don't remember how, and it's very frustrating that I can't find the article, because I remember that the crowd booed, but I cannot remember if they then laughed. Maybe it was a really good joke.

Fic Preview

A sneak peek of the next chapter of Come Away, O Human Child

Big Bear

Frozen.

Eddie is frozen, staring in stunned amazement at the cloud of drifting ash that used to be a fucking fire elemental. The acrid stench of smoke mixes with the blood on the air, his hands throb dully where burned skin is quickly knitting back together, and Eddie is frozen.

Slowly, he turns to his partner. Buck’s hand is still outstretched towards the space where Doug Kendall’s fire elemental had been hovering only seconds before, his body haloed in the gold light of his magic. For a brief instant, Eddie could swear that even his eyes are glimmering gold—but that can’t be, that doesn’t happen. Hesitantly, he lowers his fist, the golden nimbus around his body dissipating as he sucks in great gulps of air. His eyes find Eddie’s and something in Eddie’s chest clenches at the wary, almost fearful look in them.

Dimly, he registers new footsteps crunching over the snow behind them, but the cadence and weight of them is familiar, known. Buck’s eyes slide to something just over his shoulder, that awful, awful fear growing in gaze. Eddie half-turns to find that Athena has appeared, likely having followed the obvious trail he and Buck left in the snow-covered ground. Eddie’s heart hurts at that…Buck shouldn’t be afraid of them. He should never be afraid of them!

Athena’s gaze darts between Buck and the remnants of the elemental, her expression disbelieving. Shocked. “Buck—” she starts, and the tone of her voice is so heavy, so serious. And Eddie realizes that the thought that has been trying to form in his head practically since they started on this desperate search…for longer if he’s being perfect honest with himself…is correct.

Impossible.

What Buck just did—what he’s been doing all day, what he’s been doing since last night…it’s impossible. Magic-users don’t have this kind of power. And yet, somehow his partner does.

“Athena…Eddie…it’s, it’s not…I’m sorry, it’s not…” Buck’s words stumble over themselves, the desperate edge to them cutting Eddie to the core, making the part of him that is a wolf bristle and snap. Damn it, Buck shouldn’t sound like this ever, should not be afraid ever…but most especially should never sound like this when talking to him. Should never be afraid of him. He cannot bear the thought of Buck ever being afraid of him.

Whatever else Buck might be trying to babble out, it’s interrupted when Maddie makes a soft, wounded noise, her knees suddenly buckling where she’s tucked up against Buck’s side, his arm wrapped around her protectively. Buck whips his attention to his sister, catching her as she slumps down, unconscious or close to it. Instantly, all three of them snap into first responder mode. Athena pulls her radio out, starts demanding an ETA for an extraction and ambulance, as Buck heaves Maddie up into his arms like she weighs nothing, one hand curling up over the stab wound on her side and glowing gold as he presses more healing magic into the wound.

“Buck!” Athena snaps, fumbling at her belt to pull a plastic capsule off a clip by her holster. She flicks the capsule open and tosses it to Eddie, who pulls out the tightly-rolled prefab transport array out and unfurls it right there on the snow. “It’s keyed to the nearest firehouse’s ambos,” Athena says. “Let me just…” She scrabbles at her belt again, this time producing a piece of chalk for the activation rune, but Buck just shakes his head.

“I’ve got it,” he says, and before either Eddie or Athena can react, he stares down at the prefab and lets out a piercing whistle. A fountain of warm, golden light bubbles up from the empty activation rune and spreads like running water over the rest of the prefab. With a soft hum, the transport array activates and Buck steps into it without hesitation. Before he and Maddie shimmer out of existence, Buck meets Eddie’s eyes one more time. Still wary. Still fearful.

And so, so sad.

“I’m sorry,” he says. “I swear, I’ll tell you everything. I’m so sorry!” Then he and his sister are gone.

Only as the light of the transport array fades does Eddie realize Buck hadn’t spoken a single spell for anything he’d just done.

*

Silence.

As they speed towards the hospital Buck and Maddie were taken to, the silence in the car is suffocating. Athena’s hands are tight on the steering wheel, her jaw clenched tightly. Eddie resists the urge to ask her to drive faster, the need to get to his partner, to figure out what the hell is going on boiling under his skin.

They hadn’t been able to follow Buck and Maddie immediately—Athena and Marks had been coordinating with the local police to sweep the area for Doug Kendall, enlisting Eddie’s help as soon as he mentioned smelling massive amounts of blood on the wind.

“Find that bastard…but don’t mention anything else,” Athena had hissed in his ear as their position was swarmed with cops. “I want to hear what Buck has to say first.”

Fortunately, they were correct in assuming that Maddie would not have been able to get far in her condition. If nothing else, Eddie was grateful that he’d be able to confirm for Buck that Doug Kendall would, without a shadow of a doubt, never be able to hurt his sister again, and there wouldn’t even be a question of it being a case of self-defense. Standing in that bloodied clearing, reading the story of just how hard Maddie Buckley had fought to survive in the disturbed earth and snow, he’d felt his respect for the woman rising by the second. Thankfully, Marks had volunteered to secure the scene and wait for the coroner, allowing him and Athena to finally head for the hospital.

Now, though, the closer they get, the thicker the tension in the cab grows. Finally, Eddie can’t take it anymore.

“He shouldn’t have been able to do that, should he?” he asks quietly. There is no need to clarify what he is talking about. He glances over at Athena in time to see the tic in her jaw jump again, before she sighs heavily.

“No,” she says simply. “No, he should not have.”

Eddie nods to himself, drumming his fingers on the tops of his thighs. “The transport array, the tracking spell, whatever the hell that was with the wisps…” He trails off, and Athena shakes her head slightly.

“Backlash shock should’ve set in ages ago,” she acknowledges. For the first time since they got back into the car, her stoic expression cracks, her brow creasing in worry. “I didn’t want to say anything while his sister was still missing, kept telling myself he’s always been strong as hell, but nobody’s magic is that powerful.”

Eddie huffs out a breath through his nose, reaching up to rub his eyes tiredly. He frowns, a question that’s been bugging him almost from the start of all this jumping to the forefront of his mind. “Those psychometric projections…what are they supposed to look like?”

Athena takes her eyes off the road a moment to throw him a startled look. “It’s hard to describe,” she says suspiciously. “Most of the time, it’s like trying to see something through heavy fog. It’s hard to pinpoint details. A lot of the time the only evidence we can collect is auditory—that’s why the threshold for admissible evidence from psychometry is so high. Why?”

What the hell? What the hell, what the hell, what the hell?

“Yeah…um…so what Buck did was not that,” he says.

He spends the rest of the ride filling Athena in on exactly what kind of magic he’s been watching his partner perform over the last few months. Every instance he can think of that seemed odd to him, every time he told himself he just wasn’t used to being around people who had Buck’s ease with magic, trying to ignore the way more and more shock creep into Athena’s face. More and more concern, more and more worry.

When he finishes, he pins her with a sharp look. “What are you thinking?” he demands. “You know something. Athena, what’s going on here?”

Instead of answering him, Athena just shakes her head. “I need to hear what Buck has to say,” she says tightly. “No sense in borrowing trouble. There could still be an explanation.”

She doesn’t sound like she believes it.

And that scares him.

Im craving for more custard cookie iii content so I decide to make my own:

Custard cookie iii being Pure vanilla cookie and White Lilly cookie !!!

Remember when White lily cookie and pure vanilla cookie tried to make cookies in episode 7 well after pure vanilla cookie come to the conclusion that the experiment was never going to work he tried to discourage White lily from trying but she was determined so she begged  to try one last thing and if it failed white lily cookie promised to stop, and that was to use some of their own magic and combine it with the dough (Since we really don’t know how cookie I wont write how they).

Pure vanilla cookie agreed but really didn’t expect to work and just agreed to get white lily to stop trying so imagine his and white Lily surprise that it actually worked and inside the cookie cutter there lied, sleeping peaceful was a baby cookie 

Both Pure vanilla and White lily cookie were shocked that it actually worked after the shock after the shock wore off they were in awe at this adorable baby cookie they created 

Time skip to right before the white lily cookie fell in the ultimate dough, I would like to mention that  almost no one knew that pure vanilla and white lily had a child only the ancient five knew and primer custard cookie their intentions was to keep custard hidden until he was at least 1 year old he was living mostly in the vanilla kingdom

Then the flour war happened :) 

Pure vanilla having no idea where pure Lilly cookie disappeared kept custard close and then dark enchantress cookie shows up in the vanilla kingdom to steal the soul gems 

Pure vanilla desperate to keep custard save puts him in his crib and place a shield around him that protect from all that harm him and also acts like a time capsule where time doesn’t move inside the shield 

And then BAM the ancient heroes disappeared and the kingdom fell 

But thankfully custard remains safe thanks to the shield but is stuck in time capsule for nearly 50 years

How did custard get out of the shield ?

As time went the shield grew weaker and weaker and around the time it was at it weakest custard cookie ii and custard “dad” were investigating the fallen kingdom why you may ask?  IDK they just were

Both of them were shocked to find a baby in the fallen city custard “dad” breaks the Shield to the baby out and take him back to their kingdom 

When they get back custard cookie ii looks at their father old records to see if the baby was related to anyone alive while this happens custard “dad” grows attached to the baby , and then custard cookie ii finds the records relating custard to pure vanilla cookie he immediately becomes power hungry because he thinks this tiny baby has great power was related to a great hero 

Custard “dad” not liking his brother way of thinking especially with the way he treats his adopted son, custard “dad” flees the republic with baby custard and raises him as his own never telling of custard his true origins  

Now where getting close to the actual timeline custard “dad” wrote a letter to a now 9 old custard that he told him to open either when he was much older or if he would ever to disappear 

Then one day custard “dad” went into the forest near their home and disappeared , and custard cookie iii not any better tries to find him and gets lost in said woods

He wanders around for months before he meets the rest of the gang

Now here the plot moves the same till the part where the gang splits, after ginger brave, wizard , and strawberry cookie leave and custard and chili remain in the kingdom 

Chili has always been somewhat curios about custard past because why was a kid just wandering  alone for months so she ask custard what his life like he meet them

Custard trust chili the most so he tells her everything including the part that he gave up trying to find his “dad” and doesn’t know how to return to his home.(Angst you know for flavor :D)

Chili becomes even more protective after that.

Custard later mentioned that he has the letter but hasn’t even opened it yet but wants to now chili Offers to be there with him but not read the letter he takes her up on the offer

y’all can guess what the letter contained :)

Custard was essentially having a break down by the time he finished reading the letter and chili was freaking the fuck out because she saw custard reaction and read the letter very quickly she had no idea what to do and eventually just decided to hug him and comfort till custard cried himself to sleep 

Chili then decide that she simply couldn’t tell the others what they found out until they come back or until custard himself is ready

Also custard looks a bit different in this au Ill post what I Thought he would look like 

[br0-k3n-sch00lb01]

Goodbye.

“I don’t want you to leave!! I don’t want you to leave me!!” Basil wailed.

A soft smile spread across Sunny’s face.

“I’ll be back. If I don’t make it, i’ll be here with you in spirit.”

“YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME AGAIN!! SUNNY! EVERYTHING I’VE DONE WAS FOR YOU!! I DON’T WANT IT TO BE ALL FOR NOTHING! This world is too precious to be destroyed! YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE IT!”

Explosions sounded heavily in the distance. Basil fell to his knees. The ground shook. The red light of the poisoned and dying sun made him dizzy. Sunny began to glow with an unnatural golden light, not unlike the healthier sun before the storm. His skin shimmered.

“I know i’ll see you again. Don’t cry. It’s not the end.”

‘The end’ was a heavy statement that fell on Basil like millions of starstones. He blinked away the tears in his empty blue eyes.

“We’ll all forget you in time if you can’t do it! I DON’T WANNA FORGET Y-“

Sunny shushed him gently.

“I will succeed. You trust me, don’t you?”

Basil nodded. Sunny hugged him and with a final smile, faded in a shower of golden dust. - - -

“Basil? Where’s Sunny?”

Aubrey tapped him on the shoulder as he entered the bunker. “Gone.” He replied.

Aubrey leaned back and looked at the ground.

“I knew he would do that. The idiot. It’s almost over, if he doesn’t make it in time we’ll all die. IDIOT!! WHY DID HE GO ALONE?!” She stabbed her dagger into the table.

“He wouldn’t have risked us like that. Witches or not, we’re still mortal. It’s possible we would have died a much more painful death if we had gone out into the Abyss with him.” Kel said, patting Aubrey on the back.

“He’s risking us either way. It’s like he wants us to die.” Aubrey took her dagger out of the wood.

“He’ll be back soon enough… time works different in the Abyss. Our time moves slower. He has plenty of time to get the-“

There was a fizzle and a zap of lightning that shook the entire bunker. Aubrey stood up.

“Sunny! YOU BETTER HURRY UP!”

-.-.-

They were cornered. There wasn’t anything left. No more starstones to purify themselves, which meant they could not use their magic without risk of becoming one of the Scavengers themselves. Basil was pinned down, choking, held at the neck by black claws the size of his own body. He could not breathe. He could do nothing. Aubrey was slashing through Scavengers like butter with her scythe, but she was growing tired. Kel had passed out and Hero was defending him ad best he could. They all believed it was over. This was the end. There was nothing left for them. And yet, at the final moment when Basil started to see black fading into his vision, consuming it, he was released. A blinding flash of light came, and then there he was.

Sunny had returned to save them all.

These are a few excerpts from my Starshine AU, in which everyone except Sunny is a witch/ relatively magical being. They become corrupt if they do not purify themselves with Starstones after using said magic. Sunny is basically a god. He does not require Starstones, as his soul is naturally pure from divinity. The world came under apocalypse by the shadow monsters known as Scavengers. Their king poisoned the air, earth, and Sun, making life nearly impossible. Only the witches smart enough to counteract those effects survived. Sunny is the only one who can save the world by gathering the 7 Starshine capsules, each containing a different level of power. When combined, they render the user invincible, and able to defeat any enemy. In this part, Sunny is going off to the underworld known as the Abyss to find the last remaining capsule- Salvation. It is the strongest of the seven and the path to get it is lethal.

Excerpts from the article:

Because it’s clear that being “the last public space” isn’t a privilege. It’s a sign that something has gone terribly wrong.

At the time, countless articles asked if new technology meant “the death of the public library.” Instead, the institution completely transformed itself. Libraries carved out a new role providing online access to those who needed it. They abandoned the big central desk, stopped shushing patrons, and pushed employees out onto the floor to do programming. Today, you’ll find a semester’s load of classes, events, and seminars at your local library: on digital photography, estate planning, quilting, audio recording, taxes for seniors, gaming for teens, and countless “circle times” in which introverts who probably chose the profession because of their passion for Victorian literature are forced to perform “The Bear Went over the Mountain” to rooms full of rioting toddlers.

In the midst of this transformation, new demands began to emerge. Libraries have always been a welcoming space for the entire community. Alexander Calhoun, Calgary’s first librarian, used the space for adult education programs and welcomed “transients” and the unemployed into the building during the Depression. But the past forty years of urban life have seen those demands grow exponentially. In the late 1970s, “homelessness” as we know it today didn’t really exist; the issue only emerged as a serious social problem in the 1980s. Since then, as governments have abandoned building social housing and rents have skyrocketed, homelessness in Canada has transformed into a snowballing human rights issue. Meanwhile, the opioid crisis has devastated communities, killing more than 34,000 Canadians between 2016 and 2022, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. And the country’s mental health care system, always an underfunded patchwork of services, is today completely unequipped to deal with demand. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, from 2020 to 2021, Canadians waited a median of twenty-two days for their first counselling session. As other communal support networks have suffered cutbacks and disintegrated, the library has found itself as one of the only places left with an open door.

When people tell the story of this transformation, from book repository to social services hub, it’s usually as an uncomplicated triumph. A recent “love letter” to libraries in the New York Times has a typical capsule history: “As local safety nets shriveled, the library roof magically expanded from umbrella to tarp to circus tent to airplane hangar. The modern library keeps its citizens warm, safe, healthy, entertained, educated, hydrated and, above all, connected.” That story, while heartwarming, obscures the reality of what has happened. No institution “magically” takes on the role of the entire welfare state, especially none as underfunded as the public library. If the library has managed to expand its protective umbrella, it has done so after a series of difficult decisions. And that expansion has come with costs.

i watched a bunch of videos on how bad the netflix adaption of atla is and anyway here's my ygo atla au thoughts

i guess yugi making the avatar is the easiest solution he is extremely aang-like (aang's kuzon speech and saying to zuko "do you think we could've been friends" is a stand out moment) and actually you know what his play tactics of evade and weave work well with aang's airbending (i was going to point to a specific fight with zuko but actually i'm watching the first episode it's every fight with zuko) so okay airbender it is

(i also like the idea of maybe pulling in some season 0 ideas of this alternate side of him that takes revenge and it's possible maybe he finds relief in his avatar state maybe he's so used to being powerless that feeling that powerful feels good and it scares him)

anzu is also a really good katara stand in ("DON'T YELL AT HIM") ultimate he asked for no pickles energy i actually think she'd do better as an airbender it would match her fairy deck and i think it'd be cute for yugi and anzu to grow up together in the air temple maybe he took her with her when he ran away it kinda muddies the whole "last airbender" thing and i like the idea of the yugi gaang representing all four elements so i'll stick with waterbender for her

honda is easy he's an earthbender look at him i do like regular guy honda and generally try to keep him un-magical in magical settings but that boy is an earthbender signed up with the earth kingdom army to fight firebenders and probably has a good reason for leaving and joining up with the gaang

katsuya firebender we all saw it coming i think it might be interesting to make him "mixed" and that also lets me do other things with serenity so maybe he's from an occupied earth kingdom town he definitely struggles to control his firebending he just gets too excited and isn't patient (much like aang when he learns firebending) and much like his arc in the show he gets stronger and more in control

seto kaiba is a zuko-esque figure to me, motivated by all the wrong things, pushing him to take extreme and harmful actions, even though deep down he is a good person, but actually you know who i love not giving magical powers to in a magical world? seto kaiba babyyyyyyy he has to scrap and create and bring himself up in a world where people have inherent magic abilities and that's just so him isn't it? i think it's possible he's a non-bender from another nation (i'm thinking earth kingdom? put your own thoughts in the replies) much like the mechanist from the northern air temple he was pulled and adopted by gozaburo for his technological mind and to create war machines, giving a position but no power, but seto kaiba is anti-war so he bounces the fuck out of there i guess that makes him not a villain and just like part of the gaang? maybe? idk i don't actually have like A Plot for this

yugi being the avatar sets up yami/atem as a roku mentor figure which i actually like

mai is just jun that's the character

make ryou a spirit i don't know which just do it

duke in a fire nation circus non-bender probably also an assassin sent to kill yugi it's okay tho they become friends

uuuuuh who else there's like 12 whole characters in yugioh i don't see any characters as a stand in for ozai except maybe alexander from capsule monsters??? is that a weird pull??? yeah i watched capsule monsters and not the final season of the show fight me nerds

pegasus.... definitely a sell out to the fire nation i don't know if i want him to be fire nation i kinda like the idea of him being like i see the way the wind blows maybe it's his quest to find the avatar and track down yugi that would put him in a better antagonistic role and have a reason for them to keep running into him

mokuba earth bending prodigy probably why seto had to get him out of there i guess that makes him the toph of this au??? unclear will reexamine

zigfried fire nation shill has a beach episode with seto who spends the whole time trying to drown him in the ocean

uuuuh got nothing for the ishtars sorry feel free to reply
