HEYO, do you think your Regina GeorgeTM Nightmare would ever have moments of his past self just...idk how to word it rn, just like he slips back. He's there. Something that Nightmare wouldn't normally do, but just this once or twice?
Whether it's drawing the line at children. Killers can kill them. Nightmare would prefer to not....just, something about it is a little too similar for his liking. And if Killer asks, the answer is just 'I have standards' or something to try and cover it up?
Or, maybe a rare 'olive branch' between him and Dream? Perhaps he remembers a small detail and does something nice for once, even if it's a small thing, before going back to his bitchy self? Like, a tiny piece of candy Dream used to like. Or a moment of 'that's MY brother asshole', even if Nightmare still a piece of shit?
Or, not even a moments. What about small mannerisms he has from before, that he doesn't even realize he still has? Maybe it's posture. Maybe it's the way he tilts his head when listening or curious(as a child, it was much more innocent compared to now).
Just a thought I wanted your opinion on!
Hello!! Glad to see you in my inbox again! :D
Thatâs it Regina GeorgeTM Nightmare is what Iâm calling him from now on chchhcchhc /hj
Ok thank you for asking that cause i wanted to ramble about how i view Nightmare for a long time and now the time has come, cause i usually talk about him in fragments, bits and pieces here and there, never fully diving into his personality as a whole
Thing is, corrupted or not, i like to believe heâs still Nightmare yâknow? Beneath all that bitchiness, heâs still the same quiet loner little guy that was just never dealt a fair hand by life
I have talked before very quickly about how i think Nightmare has moments of kindness
And even talked a bit in depth about why i think Nightmare is extremely bitchy
And you better believe i love to think Nightmare has those little moments in which he has a kind thought that just seems out of character for him, but itâs truly not, itâs just that little guy inside is still there, itâs just harder for Nightmare to truly think clearly with all the corruption that consumes him
Not only that but i absolutely love to think a lot of his habits are still the same, maybe developed or slightly changed but still very much the same
and i even sketched a few sketches concerning these two points, i just never shared them
In the first sketch, Nightmare is thinking about bringing Killer to Ccinoâs Cat cafe, bringing killer to the cafe has no benefit to Nightmare whatsoever, it only serves to make Killer happy (something that completely opposes Nightmareâs goal of spreading negativity) yet he still thought about it, itâs just one of those moments where his little guy self just shines through
In the second sketch, it shows a lil headcanon of mine that Nightmare never broke a habit (and even something of a coping mechanism /comfort) of finding a tree to sit by when he reads, it helps clear his head, and i like to fully believe Nightmare doesnât truly realize he does this cause it reminds him of better simpler times when he was just a happy content child reading a book under his momâs leaves
That aside, sometimes i love to include little details in my art that people usually donât really notice most the time, one little detail is that i love to have Dream and Nightmare grip their clothes as a child would when they are distressed (especially if itâs specifically anxiety/fear)
Thatâs just plays into a little headcanon of mine that itâs a habit Dream and Nightmare had since childhood and neither of them broke it, nor theyâre ever gonna truly break it, what Iâm saying is Nightmareâs child-like behavior is very prominent when heâs distressed, and i love to think so cause Nightmare is first and foremost, a wounded fearful lonely child, someone whoâs inner child never healed, so when things scare or distress him, his inner child just takes over and such habits make themselves known
To me Nightmare is still Nightmare, itâs just that the corruption has taken over and made his pain worse and by extension he wants to let that pain out by inflecting it on others, all while not truly realizing that he does it to let his own pain out, in fact, I wholeheartedly believe that if someone (say Killer for example) kept pressing him by questions as to why he does what he does, eventually Nightmare would hit a wall only to realize âhuh⊠why am i doing this?â Cause Nightmare would never settle for a bitchy answer like âwhy not?â Itâs beneath him
Not only that but i fully believe Nightmare can get those moments of weakness in which the past just eats away at him, something I sketched for too :â)
And when it comes to Dream, he definitely has those moments of hesitation that he himself doesnât fully understand, he fully believes that he doesnât care for Dream at all, even tho itâs not true
I even talked about Dream and Nightmare coexisting before
And even this animatic, in which Nightmare (while being unphased/ unresponsive to Dreamâs affection at first) still allowed Dream to show him his affection and let Dream hug him, only to return it by a very subtle head tilt leaning towards Dream before returning to his bitchy self
And I even wanna bring attention to this lil comic (and the ramble I made in the reblog about it dhhxhx) cause I feel like it also explores Nightmareâs fears to an extent
Fears of feeling weak, cause Nightmare definitely developed the mindset that the strong devours the weak, i like to think Nightmare hates feeling weak cause who would protect him but himself?
That being said, he maybe a bitch, but heâs also a deeply traumatized individual with an inner child whoâs in dire need to heal, my man needs therapy and love <33333

The Cat and Dog Game [Chapter 44]
*reposted because the chapter disappeared!*
Genre: Romance, Fluff, Comedy
Pairing: Yunho x Reader (y/n)
Characters: Chef!Reader, RestaurantOwner!Yunho, MaitreD!Hongjoong, Waiter!Yeosang, Waiter!San, Waiter!Mingi, SousChef!Seonghwa, SousChef!Wooyoung, PrepChef!Jongho
Summary:Â Yunho's dream was to open and run his own restaurant. But he doesn't know anything when it comes to cooking. Until you came along and accepted the job, bringing with you a small crew. How will the black cat tame the energetic golden retriever?
Word count: 3.2K
Chapter warning(s): (y/n) has a little breakdown, she's emotional and feels guilt (leading to her being stressed and overwhelmed)
"I guess it's been obvious to those that can read me. I wanted to clear my head a bit more before coming to talk to you about it. But it seems like I've been unsuccessful." You replied honestly, resting your head on your free hand.
"Just lay out all your thoughts here. I'll help you sort them through if you'd like." Yunho offered.
"I appreciate that, Yun. Really... It's just..."
"I'm one of the reasons why you can't make a decision, right?" He spoke softly. You looked up at him, meeting his eyes. There was patience and love, no anger or sarcasm.
"Yun, it's not your fault. It's me... I'm just overthinking everything." You sighed, taking a small bite of your porridge.
"Don't beat yourself up for overthinking or feeling guilt. It's normal." He comforted.
"No matter what your decision is, nothing is going to change between us, alright?" He held your chin, tilting your head up to make you look at him.
"I know." You nodded, a small smile appearing on your face, leaning in to press your forehead against his. Count on Yunho to make you feel like you were the most loved person in the world, that look he gave you, it's like you hold his world in your hands. Yunho smiled back, going forward to give you a peck.
"It'll be okay, it's not like one of us is going off to war." He chuckled and stroked your cheek.
"I know that... It'll just be... different, you know?" You shrugged, the both of you going back to your meals before it got too cold. Yunho silently laid his hand over yours.
"It feels like I'm abandoning ship. All of us started this together, from day 1. If I leave, I'm taking 3 others with me." You sighed.
"And that's okay. It doesn't mean we're ending anything, love. We're all still family." He reminded.
"I still need to think this over. It's not a decision I can make right now for everyone, not right this instant. I need to talk to the others first." You gulped.
"Of course, take all the time you need." Yunho pulled you in to kiss your temple.
After the food was done, you put your bowl in the dishwasher and got yourself a beer. You needed the alcohol to calm your nerves and take the edge off. Mingi and San dragged Yunho away to play video games so you stayed in your room with Seonghwa.
"What's wrong? I can hear you think." Seonghwa asked, his vision trained on his switch game.
"Yunho brought up the contract, he knows I've been thinking about it. And of course, he was so god damn nice about it. I hate it." You groaned into the blanket.
"You're hearing yourself right? You hate that he's giving you the freedom and opportunity to choose what you want to do."
"Feminism aside. I want him to tell me what he wants. He always caters to my needs and wants." You sighed.
"So this time, you want him to tell you to stay or to go? Do you think that will help you make a decision?" Seonghwa raised an eyebrow, putting his switch aside.
"Ugh, I don't know, Hwa. Stop asking me more questions!" You groaned, falling back onto the pillow.
"Jagi, what's wrong?" Wooyoung poked his head into the room. He noticed it was just you and Seonghwa so he invited himself in. Jongho trailed in behind him, closing the door. Wooyoung laid beside you, his arms around your waist to snuggle with you while Jongho sat at the foot of the bed.
"Are you still stressing about the contract?" Jongho asked. You nodded glumly.
"My poor jagi... Jongho told me what's been bothering you... About our contracts ending." Wooyoung cooed, combing your hair away from your face lovingly.
"What should I do, Woo?" You turned to him.
"Wait, you're asking me?" Wooyoung blinked in confusion as your sudden question.
"She just wants you to give an answer so she doesn't have to think about it." Seonghwa said, knowing you well. You rolled your eyes and pinched his thigh, making him flinch.
"Yunho told me that it's my decision, that things won't change between us." You sat up, running your fingers through your hair.
"He's right. Nothing will change between us and them, we're all friends, a big family. Doesn't mean we don't work together, that we aren't a family anymore or that we won't see each other ever again." Wooyoung said.
"That's what Seonghwa hyung and I said. Yunho hyung won't let the decision hurt his relationship. But (y/n)'s feeling the guilt of leaving Yunho and the others." Jongho explained further.
"Yunho's too nice. He won't ever tell me to stay. But... now that we're all here, what do all of you want?" You asked them.
"We'll follow you. We're sticking together." Wooyoung said, looking to Jongho and Seonghwa.
"Agreed." The two nodded.
"You're not making this decision any easier on me. You all have the talents to work in better kitchens, under bigger management and getting a higher pay." You clicked your tongue.
"Who needs all that when we know we work best together and achieve results?" Seonghwa pointed out.
"Be honest with me, are you guys still getting offers?" You asked. They all looked at each other before nodding their heads slowly. It wasn't really a secret between the 4 of you that each of you got occasional offers from restaurants to join their team or pop up kitchens to come for short stints of work.
"Anything tempting?" You probed further.
"Not really." Jongho replied, checking his phone. You grabbed your phone, looking through your emails to refresh your memory of who had sent you job offers too.
"I wish Yunho would tell me what he wants. Saves me making a decision." You said, mainly to Jongho and Wooyoung.
"Can you say for certain, you won't be disappointed with his decision?" Wooyoung tilted his head.
"It's not that... To me, this is a big decision and I feel like I should be considering him as a factor in that decision." You tried to explain your feelings to them.
"But it's because this is a big decision that he wouldn't want his wants to get in the way of what you want." Seonghwa said.
"He's always putting me first. And for once, I just want to do the same for him." You let out a shaky breath. Maybe there was just so much more to this than you want to admit. It's not just about the job, it's about your relationship with Yunho.
"Jagi, is that another reason why you're so stressed out about this?" Wooyoung melted, stroking your head. You nodded and fell forward to his chest for him to hug you.
"I know this is one of many decisions I'll have to make in life and in my relationship. But so far, everything has been on my terms because what, I'm too emotionally unstable. And I hate it." You choked.
"Oh, sweetheart." Seonghwa rubbed your back.
"There's nothing to feel bad about. You're a couple that just shows each other love in different ways. You do it through acts of service and all 'this' is how Yunho shows his." Jongho comforted.
"I know it's not easy but don't think about this decision as an ultimatum or that it'll reflect your relationship with Yunho." Seonghwa said.
"You don't have to rush to a decision. For now, just enjoy this vacation." Wooyoung kissed your head.
"He's right. None of us are expecting you to make this decision right now, even Yunho. Who knows, maybe the cards will fall into place on their own." Seonghwa smiled softly. You were glad that you had the 3 of them by your side. Even if you felt guilty, you never wanted to work separately from them.
"Where's (y/n)?" Hongjoong asked, coming back from the deck to see Yunho lounging on the couch, watching Mingi and Yeosang challenge each other at mario kart.
"She's upstairs with Seonghwa hyung, Wooyoung and Jongho." Yunho replied.
"They're probably discussing the contract thing." Yeosang said, not taking his eyes off the game
"Yeah..." Yunho replied curtly. He didn't want to say anything more to that. That decision was yours and the team's to make. That's why Yunho hadn't gone to find you yet, giving you privacy.
"At the same time, we should discussing all of your contracts too." Yunho sat up, diverting the subject.
"Our contracts are ending?" Mingi agreed.
"Well, it is in your contracts that you can leave at any time. So I just wanted to check with all of you. There's no obligation to stay, of course. I'm already very grateful that you've all helped me so much the past year." Yunho said to his friends.
"I'll be having to take a step back. I can still work but not as actively as I am now. I've got some invites for custom fashion pieces to be made." Hongjoong raised his hand.
"Wow, that sounds amazing, hyung. Congratulations." All the boys clapped for the oldest.
"Thank you." Hongjoong grinned.
"Are you sure it won't be too taxing on you to work at the restaurant and do your projects at the same time, hyung?" San asked.
"I'll be fine. And until these projects have actual results, I'll need to get money to pay for all my supplies and studio rental somehow." Hongjoong shrugged.
"I've got nothing much else to do anyway so I'm cool with staying on." Mingi raised his hand.
"Actually, San and I were offered part time jobs at the gym as trainers for gym goers. We don't really know much of the details yet but if we decide to join them, it means we'll be part time at the gym and part time at the restaurant." Yeosang informed and San hummed in confirmation.
"That can be arranged. Let me know how it goes then I'll decide if I need to set aside some money to hire some part time wait staff." Yunho said.
"Of course. Thanks, Yunho ah." San smiled.
After the games ended, San and Yeosang went for a run while Hongjoong went to take a nap, leaving Yunho and Mingi.
"Here." Mingi handed Yunho a beer. The two of them decided to sit on the deck chairs on the beach, wanting to get some fresh air. Plus, the sun wasn't too intense.
"Can you believe it's already been a year?" Yunho asked, taking a swig of his beer.
"Time really flies. Feels like just yesterday, we were sitting at the booth and you were worrying about not having a kitchen crew when opening was just a few days away." Mingi reminded, making Yunho roll his eyes.
"So much has happened in a year. Couldn't have done it without you, Mingi ah." Yunho smiled softly.
"Of course, we've been doing everything together since we've met. And we'll continue to do it for as long as we're friends." Mingi grinned. Yunho threw his head back in laughter.
"Deal." Yunho clinked his bottle against Mingi's.
"Are you worried that (y/n) might decide to not stay with the restaurant?" Mingi asked.
"I wouldn't say worry is what I'm feeling... I don't know... I don't want her to feel like she has to stay because of me. She shouldn't have to sacrifice amazing opportunities for me." Yunho sighed.
"I'm sure you told her that but at the same time, I know (y/n) a little. She doesn't like the feeling of making decisions for herself, it makes her feel guilty and selfish. That's why she's thinking about you, Seonghwa hyung, Wooyoung and Jongho too. I can imagine the stress she's under." Mingi said.
"Now that she's broken things off with her father, I want her to feel that freedom of finally doing things for herself." Yunho shrugged.
"But you're in a relationship. It's normal to feel the need to think for the other person, not just yourself. You're thinking of what's best for her and she's doing the same for you." Mingi pointed out.
"Wow, you sure know a lot about relationships." Yunho raised an eyebrow.
"Not me, it's my mom. I've always been 'T' and I don't read underlying emotions so she explains them to me." Mingi chuckled.
"And I may not have witnessed a lot of relationship but I know you and (y/n) have a good thing going. Working separately isn't going to change that." Mingi added.
"You think so? I feel that way too." Yunho agreed.
"You both are opposites. Not opposites that fight each other but opposites that compliment each other like a jigsaw puzzle, you know? Like you're hyper and excited while she's cool and collected. Both good in their own way." Mingi tried to explain.
"I know. We both make each other better. I like that there's one of me and one of her." Yunho smiled fondly at the thought of you.
"The perfect golden retriever and black cat couple." Mingi snapped his fingers.
"You and San say that all the time. And I still have no idea what that means but I'm assuming I'm the golden retriever and (y/n)'s the black cat?" Yunho tilted his head.
"Duh. You're obviously NOT the black cat." Mingi scoffed, finishing his beer. Yunho rolled his eyes.
"Whiskey does act a lot like (y/n). It's adorable." Yunho grinned, proudly showing Mingi his phone wallpaper, which was you sleeping with Whiskey curled up and tucked under your chin, also asleep.
"I'm not sure if (y/n) would appreciate you using a picture of her sleeping as your wallpaper." Mingi chuckled.
"Surprisingly, she didn't care." Yunho shrugged.
Grabbing their empty beer bottles, the twin tower pair turned to head back into the house. Yunho saw Seonghwa, Wooyoung and Jongho in the kitchen, fixing what looked like lunch. But you were not there. He didn't even need to ask, Seonghwa nodded towards the stairs and Yunho made his way to your room.
"Love?" Yunho knocked lightly and poked his head in. You were fast asleep, hugging Yuyu and Yunnie in each arm. Yunho went to your side of the bed, bending down so he could see your face.
"Oh, love..." He softened at the sight of your slightly puffed eyelids, a sign that you cried. Leaning over, he kissed your cheek and stroked your hair.
"Yun?" You had a small frown as you opened your eyes slightly.
"Sorry to disturb you, baby. Go back to sleep." Yunho whispered, patting your head.
"Stay with me?" You asked. Yunho nodded and climbed into bed, pulling you to his chest. You turned around so you faced him and let his whole body cocoon you.
"I love you." You breathed out as you fell back asleep, feeling much more comfortable and secure in Yunho's embrace.
"I love you too." He kissed your forehead and wound his arms tighter around you. Looking down at you, Yunho couldn't stop smiling. Everything you did, he found absolutely adorable. He closed his eyes and joined you in dreamland.
When Yunho stirred awake, his head was resting on your arm, facing your chest. You were using your phone, looking at it behind his head as you were careful not to disturb Yunho's rest.
"Love." He buried his face into your chest, squeezing your waist. He would never get over the feeling of waking up next to you.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Your free hand playing with the ends of Yunho's hair.
"Yeah... I did... When did you wake up?" Yunho asked.
"Not too long ago. I didn't want to move though, just wanted to stay here with you. And somehow, some way, we swapped positions. Not that I minded." You chuckled.
"I don't mind this too." He giggled, using his strength to roll over so you were below him.
"Ah! Yunho! That's ticklish. Stoppppp~" You squirmed, the both of you laughing. He did relent, hovering over you with your arms wrapped around his neck. Yunho smiled softly, Mingi was right, you and him were strong and made for each other, nothing will change your relationship.
"For the rest of our time here, don't think about the contract or the job, alright? Just enjoy your time here and relax, hmm? We have all the time in the world." He whispered.
"I like that. Thank you." You pulled him down so you could kiss him. But was interrupted by the door opening.
"Hwa, what if we were naked?" You asked as Yunho's eyes widened, his cheeks and ears turning bright red at your words.
"Nothing I haven't seen. You two hungry? I kept some lunch for you." Seonghwa asked. You turned to Yunho, who was vigorously fanning his face, too busy to answer.
"You good?" You raised an eyebrow.
"D-Don't just s-say things like t-that!" He stuttered nervously. Seonghwa's eyebrows raised in amusement.
"I think you broke your boyfriend, sweetie." He said to you. You rolled your eyes and slid out of bed to go use the bathroom. When you were done, you and Yunho went downstairs to eat. Seonghwa handed you each a plate of food.
"Thanks, hyung/ Hwa." The two of you sat on the couch to eat, watching Wooyoung challenge Yeosang at some game. You held a spoon of food out to Seonghwa.
"I already ate." He shook his head, settling next to you.
"You're always hungry." You pointed out. Seonghwa sighed and directed the spoon back at you to eat it.
"Gosh, I'm so full. I'm not going to be able to eat dinner after this." You said as you ate the last spoonful of food from the plate. Yunho and Seonghwa both cast you a judgemental look.
"I know you two eat for 3 people but there's no need to be so judgey." You scoffed.
"Us? Judge you? Never." Yunho grinned and grabbed your empty plate with his to put in the dishwasher.
"Was thinking of doing pasta with steak night for dinner." Seonghwa said to you, putting his arm around your shoulder. You hummed and nodded tiredly, leaning your body against his. Wooyoung, who had passed the game controller to Jongho came over, squeezing next to you and laying on Seonghwa's lap.
"Ack! Woo! There's no space." You whined, being squished between his body and the back of the couch. He just grinned and snuggled closer to you.
"What about two sauces? One vodka sauce and one pesto sauce." Jongho suggested.
"Ooh, good idea. They both sound good with steak." Wooyoung replied, ignoring your attempted to push him off.
"You know, what? Yun! Please save me." You held your arms up. Yunho was there in an instant, reaching down to try and fish you out but Wooyoung held onto you.
"Woo, let me go!" You struggled.
"Never!" He declared. Yunho managed to slip his arms under you to lift you up bridal style and away from Wooyoung.
"Thanks for saving me." You chuckled as Yunho sat down at the couch where he and Mingi were, setting you down in his lap. Mingi laughed and waved to you, to which you waved back. Yunho kept his arms around you, kissing your temple.
"You know I'll save you any time." He murmured, nuzzling his head against your cheek. You laughed, hugging his neck and pulled him closer to you.

to care for
pairing: non-idol!bang chan x gn!reader [reader has a uterus]
word count: ~0.8k
warnings: menstruation warning (talks of cramps/flow)!! also literally no proofreading i canât be bothered rn. mentions of bathing + reader having their hair washed (no sexual nudity at all, just chris caring for reader).
daisyâs notes: i want to go back to bed so bad but its been taken over by my cats for rn and also i have something in the oven :/ smh!!
Chris was probably one of the sweetest boyfriends in the world. This, of course, was true for various reasons... but always seemed to be most apparent when you were dealing with your cycle.
Youâd texted him before you left work that you felt like garbage after everything youâd gone through. You swore that your pain medicine never kicked in when your cramps were at their worst, you were having a heavier day than usual, and all you wanted was to go home and crash and maybe curl up in your boyfriendâs arms for a few hours. The normal âmy period sucks todayâ routine, in your opinion.
Your text to him had been short and simple: ouchie :(
Chris knew your code well. How bad?
So you busted out the number scale: 8-9, might be a 10 by the time i get home.
From the moment you walked in, Chris was at full attention for you. âThereâs a bath drawn for you,â he said, âIâll come wash your hair in a second, yeah? I ordered your favorite tonight--and I ran out to get more ice cream for you,â he planted a kiss against your forehead, taking full advantage of the little step upward at the entrance of your apartment.
(Translation: Chris was busting out all the stops to comfort you since you needed it. He wouldnât do it at every 10 until he saw you, but when you busted out a 10 while on your period... The guy knew.)
So you undressed as you entered the bathroom, spotting where Chris had brought in your cozier pajamas and one of his hoodies before neatly setting it aside. You pressed your head back against the tile as you listened to the sound of Chris getting your takeout before you listened to each quiet step as he made his way into the bathroom. Most days, youâd tease him about drawing a bath just to see you naked. Something about the draining parts of today seemed to start hitting you all at once, and you merely mumbled your thanks to him when he pressed a gentle kiss against your forehead.
âTodayâs a bad one, huh?â He said, getting the shower head and your shampoo bottle. âItâs okay,â he pressed another kiss into your temple. âIâve got you.â
You let him instruct you through each motion--sitting forward, leaning your head back, and everything else. This wasnât the first time heâd washed your hair for you in general, and you could easily recount times where youâd taken care of him in the same way. Sometimes in the shower together, other times where you pulled a chair in and let him recline back while your fingers worked their magic. Chris carefully massaged your scalp, washing your hair the way youâd taught him to, never pulling too hard since he knew how sensitive you could be.
âDo you want to talk about it?â He asked, the fruity scent of your shampoo filling the air for the second time. âWork, I mean.â
You let out a tiny groan, and his chuckle managed to tug a smile onto your face. Even after all the stress, just hearing his laughter in any form was enough to brighten your day a little.
âAlright,â he said. âI get it.â He kissed your cheek again, turning the shower head back on to rinse your hair again. âIâm gonna go get the water bottle for you and I promise I wonât burn my hand this time.â
(You snorted a little at the reminder of the last time Chris tried to fill it. There was a reason you used the countertop boiler for it instead of the pan he tried using.)
He planted one last kiss against your lips, telling you to take your time as he left you there. Yet soon enough, you were dry and dressed in comfy clothing and making your way out to crash on the couch next to Chris--whoâd already pulled up a streaming service so that the two of you could watch movies together. Despite the takeout sitting on the table in front of you, you opted to curl up in his arms first, burying your face into his neck. He curled an arm around you, setting aside the remote a moment later in favor of holding you.
âBetter?â
You nodded. âA little.â
âIâve got you,â he promised, pulling you in a little closer. He kissed your cheek again, tracing circles onto your arm with his thumb.
âI know,â you mumbled, arms wrapping a little tighter around him. âI love you.â
You could hear his smile in his voice, âI love you, too,â he said, and then drew back. âLetâs eat before it gets cold, yeah? You can pick whatever movie you want.â

A stand-alone fic I wanted to write today. I want to do more of these story-like chapters outside of asks.
Comfort Zone
Summary: Little things can pile on to make simple days awful. And when such a day takes place, Fuegoleon is there to comfort you.
Fuegoleon x gender neutral S/O
Comfort fic
1000+ wordcount
You did not consider yourself a weak person; physically or mentally. You were a magic knight, you had strong magic to protect yourself, good friends and a loving boyfriend who was always in your mind and heart. And you knew the same was for him.
So most days were mundane but perfectly normal. You woke up, ate breakfast with your squad, finished that day's work, met up with Fuegoleon when you could, then ate dinner to finish off the day before going to bed and repeating the same process all over again. It was all the same aside from your work occasionally changing, what between paperwork and dungeon exploring.
But today was different. You knew the moment you woke up that something was off, as if you had "woken up on the wrong side of the bed", so to speak. You did your best to not let that get to you, you wanted the day to start right-
But as you went about your business, things just seemed to keep piling on. A squad mate became sick, so your workload was suddenly doubled. You stumbled and dropped a load of paperwork all over the floor in front of Marx. And while he offered to help, it was still unbelievably embarrassing that it happened at all. You missed an appointment, dealt with rude Nobles, missed your lunch break-
The list seemed to go on and on. And while it was all little things, they just kept piling on and slowly throughout the day you became more and more bitter, which just continued to frustrate you and drag down your efforts, and it all turned into a vicious cycle.
Until finally at the end of the day you were walking home in the dark, along the streets of clover kingdom, with a deep scowl, burning eyes and no energy. You wanted, so badly, to just find some kind of junk food and curl up on your couch. While nothing detrimental had happened that day you were still disappointed in yourself that nothing had seemed to go right. And just looking back on it all, and the potential ways you could have fixed things, had you not been so worked up in the moment⊠well it made you nearly cry right then and there.
You were quickly swiping at your achy eyes as you rounded a corner when you felt yourself bump into someone-
"Ah-!"
And heard the unmistakable sound of something being dropped on the floor.
Your whole chest tightened up and you felt your fists clench.
'One more thingâŠ' you thought bitterly to yourself. And you were so close to getting home.
You forced your face to remain composed as you looked up to whoever had the unfortunate luck to come across you that evening.
And your eyes would widen. "FuegoâŠleon..?"
You were stunned. The man was standing there looking surprised himself. "Uh-" and even speechless? It was just you.
A flicker of recognition passed through his eyes and he was quickly bending down. "I'm sorry-"
You followed his movements to see he had dropped some kind of box, its lid had popped off and something was scattered across the stone pavementsâŠ.
Your heart clenched even tighter.
It was food. It was a box of dinner, no doubt one that he had been intending to bring to your home, as you had made date plans with him for tonight.
And because of your horrid day⊠you had completely forgottenâŠ
Your eyes began to burn again.
"I'm sorry, my dear." Fuegoleon quickly closed the lid and picked up the dinner box. It was an unfortunate waste of food but now some lucky alley cats will be well fed this evening. "You were running late and I thought maybe-" he cut himself off when he noticed your hands had balled up into trembling fists. His purple eyes quickly snapped up to your face, worried he may have hurt you somehow butâŠ
Your face was locked down to his chest, as if you couldn't look him in the eye, which was unusual for you. Your jaw was clenched, your mouth set into a clean line as you used all your effort to control the muscles of your face. But what struck out to him the most was the watery sheen that had built up in your eyes.
OhâŠ
He didn't say anything, knowing you well enough that you would not like this to be the time or the place for him to pepper you with questions. So instead he wrapped one arm around your shoulder, where you immediately pressed into him, and he steered you the rest of the rest home.
Once inside he discarded his box on the counter, discreetly, so you weren't reminded of it. Then he led you to your room where he sat you down on the bed. Your eyes had built up their tears and you still refused to look up at him. All your efforts were focusing on trying not to cry.
Fuegoleon took your hands and squeezed them gently, which jolted you back into the moment. He called your name a few times but when you didn't look up he crouched down to your level.
"My dearâŠ" he said it softly, and gently, and with nothing but concern in his eyes.
He was a strong and dependable man. Broad shoulders to carry heavy weights, warm hands to help those in need and a big heart that was filled with so much bravery.
Everyday you felt lucky that this man was yours; he loved you, those eyes looked only to you in such a way. Sometimes you couldn't believe you had snagged the Fuegoleon Vermillion as your lover. But today you felt like you didn't deserve him at all.
All of the pent of emotion from your day came crashing down and you started to sob. With your breath catching you closed your eyes to finally push the tears out of your eyes and down your cheeks.
You felt a warm palm come to touch your cheek and you grabbed hold of it, clinging to it for comfort. And it would come, with warm arms wrapping around you as Fuegoleon pulled himself up to sit next to you.
You held onto him; tired, embarrassed and feeling awful over everything that day. You just wanted to sit there and cling to him.
He was silent and patient until you were ready. Holding you close while gently rubbing your hands or arm in small comforting gestures.
Soon your sniffling would come to a stop and you pulled yourself up into a more dignified pose, once again rubbing the tears from your eyes. There was a small amount of shame lingering because he had seen you in such a state at allâŠ
"I'm sorryâŠ" you apologized once you were confident in your voice.
"What for?" He asked, confusion was obvious in his tone.
"ForâŠ" you made a gesture between the two of you. "This. Breaking down and⊠everything elseâŠ"
Fuegoleon let out a soft sigh. "My loveâŠ" he took your hand and squeezed it again. "You are allowed to cry, whatever the reason."
You smiled a little. His words were short, but his loving and confident tone is what affected you the most. The man could have given the shortest speech in the world and still be capable of moving people.
"OkâŠ"
"If you'd like to talk about it, I'm also here to listen"
"Maybe another time⊠but thank you." Finally you looked up at him, with a nervous smile gracing your lips.
His expression softened. "You do not need to thank me for such things. It's simply the truth."
Your heart swelled with new, more positive, emotions. You rested your head on his shoulder and let out a sigh, like you were expelling all of that day's experiences out of your body.
"I am sorry about dinnerâŠ"
"It's alright. I will treat you to a better breakfast."
"Breakfast?" You leaned back. "Do you have time?" The man was always busy, he took his work very seriously and it was hard to get real dates scheduled with him.
"I happen to have the day off tomorrow." He looked a little proud of himself. "I was going to surprise you with that good news."
"So⊠I get the whole day with you tomorrow?" Your body was feeling energized with excitement.
"If you would like." He looked just as excited in his own Fuegoleon way. His perfectly composed body but his chest was puffing up just a little more than usual.
"Of course!" You happily hugged him. And with your sudden elated mood⊠"Would you like to stay the night, too?"
"This evening?"
"Yes, please."
"How could I say No?"
Fuegoleon was always one of the best ways to brighten your moods. You slept soundly that night.

Listen, I understand why Suite isn't a popular season. Generally speaking, the best parts of it are generally done better in the two seasons that precede it. It in many ways is just a weaker frankensteining of Fresh and Heartcatch. But Fresh and Heartcatch are fantastic, so just because it's worse than those seasons, doesn't mean its bad in my opinion. And to be fair, it does deserve many of its criticisms.
But it's also one of my favorite seasons, and I think some of it's criticisms are more a matter of taste. There's just a lot I love about Suite.
Hibiki and Kanade
I also know a lot of people aren't huge fans of the whole fighting thing Hibiki and Kanade have going on. And I agree, it's not the best executed and some things don't make sense. I also understand that many people are not fond of the vitriolic best buds trope, but I don't think that makes their relationship inherently bad just not to everyone's taste. For what it's worth, we haven't had a pair of cures like them before and since and it's a tragedy to me personally because I am quite fond of vitriolic best buds, duo cures and childhood friends. We have so many cure duos and aside from these two, none are childhood friends. The CLOSEST is the fact that Saki and Mai met once, when they were 9. Several trios of childhood friends (Fresh, Doki Doki and Happiness Charge), but they're the only true childhood friend duo. I honestly want more cures like these two. They get the learning to understand each other that the new friendships have, with the wealth of intimate knowledge about each other stemming from their childhood friendship. Despite spending a year "apart", the years they spent together still mean something, and they can't seem to stay away. They're mad at each other but there is still a comfortable familiarity in the way they aren't afraid to fight with each other. They say they aren't friends but they still call each other by first name.
Their hearts naturally fall into perfect harmony. The have like the same sense of style. Kanade likes to bake. Hibiki likes to eat. Souta refers to Hibiki as "Hibiki-Nee-san", and otherwise treats her similarly to his own sister. They have a flashlight code that they use to communicate across town at night. Neither one realized that there are two entrances with Sakura trees at their middle school or tried to talk about it for a whole year. They're both so stupid.
They take after Nagisa and Honoka a lot too. Nagisa and Hibiki are both athletic redheads who are good at sports and have black as a main color in one of their outfits (Cure for Nagisa, Civ for Hibiki), and generally use pink in their outfits. Both like to eat. Both can be prone to grumpiness and disagreements with their family members. Honoka and Kanade are both white Cures with fierce tempers and a strong sense of responsibility, able to handle domestic things like cooking. Both have more academic strengths, but are relatively graceful. There are some twists of course, Kanade has the little brother who she bickers with (their little brother's even both end their name with "ta"), Hibiki is the one with a parent who is often abroad. I really like how the two called back to the original duo without at all feeling like a copy.
To be fair not communicating is the name of the game in Suite. And so, I do 100% understand not liking this plot. I really do understand it. It's more than fair. All of the plots basically revolve around miscommunication. That is like. The entirety of Suite. Miscommunications, and the breakdown and subsequent healing of relationships. A very very valid complaint. One that I can overlook, but understand if others cannot.
Siren and Hummy
So, Precure's second heel-face turn Cure (if we don't count the Kiryuu sisters). She's a shapeshifting cat who can sing. The original one.
While normally I dislike the "Brainwashed to be evil" trope. It can be very effective. Go Princess used it to great effect in which there was a level of tragedy to the years that had been stolen away from Towa, and how her motivations had been twisted. I think it has similar effect here, where we kind of get both. She was brainwashed, and I do think that does cheapen Siren's motivations and redemption a bit, but she also had genuinely negative feelings towards Hummy, that she acted on in refusing to practice with Hummy. She still has to face Hummy head on, and as much as she tries to pretend that she's hard and strong enough to live in her bitterness. Siren isn't actually mean enough to keep facing her friend and betray her over and over again.
Hummy being better at singing than her caused her to lose a piece of her identity. The most important singer in all of Majorland. The one who sings the melody of happiness. So Siren doubles down on that identity. She becomes Minorland's singer. But she also, due to her shapeshifting, spends that time adopting different identities. Testing things out, even if she doesn't realize it. Ultimately she has to completely let go of her old identity (losing access to her original form) and everything associated with it and forge a new sense of self, in order to find happiness. But she doesn't completely lose everything.
Despite not liking to be called Siren anymore, she still lets Hummy call her that. She turned her old identity of Siren into something bitter, so she had to cast it off to redefine herself. But Hummy is the only one who ever saw the real Siren through everything Siren tried to become. Hummy may have been the one who took her sense of worth, but she's also the one who always saw Siren's value as Siren. Hummy gets to use Siren because her relationship with Hummy is the only thing that survived Siren's evolution. The two have to forge a new relationship to a certain extent. But it's built on what came before.
I also just think it's fun that the bulk of this emotional arc is on Hummy. It's cat drama. Fairy drama. Usually this is the kinda of stuff that happens between the pink and the heel-face cure. But not this time. This time it's the cat fairy, and the pink is dealing with her own friendship drama. I think it also ties right back into Suites continued echo of healing relationships, actually listening to people in order to harmonize with them. Hibiki and Kanade have to resolve their bitter feelings from their estrangement. Siren has to get over her jealousy to let Hummy back into her life. And Mephisto and Aphrodite have to stop fighting a war against each other.
Major Land's Royal Family
I mean really, no one bothered to tell Hibiki and Kanade at any point that Mephisto was the brainwashed former King of Major Land and that Major Land had a princess who was in hiding? Just locked out of the loop. Both Kanon and Majorland are entirely made up of people who can't communicate.
Anyway, Ako is my all time favorite cure. I rather unpopular choice, I know. But she fits right in with many of my other favorites, characters such as Hikari Yagami, Takeru Takaishi, King Clawthorne, King Ezran, Anya Forger etc. I love kid characters. I especially love messed up traumatized kids who don't always deal with it in great ways. And kid characters with heaps of responsibility on their shoulders. Like chosen ones and royalty.
So Ako is the epitome of what I look for in my favorite characters. She's a 9 year old with high future expectations, that she can't even begin to try and live up to because she's been sent away from everything she's known and loved. Not just moving to a new town, but a new world, where the rules of what is and isn't normal are different. In addition she was forced into physically altering her appearance, wearing unfamiliar clothes, and cutting her long hair. Not only that, she now has to keep everything about her secret. Her hometown, whatever music magic she has, her real future career plans, everything that made her her, has to be suppressed and kept secret. And she was like. Six. That's tiny. And she has to construct a whole new fake identity?
No wonder she's grumpy and keeps to herself? Her alternative is just trying to keep up a bunch of lies all the time. And keeping to herself, means few friends, and trying to keep people away, because this is supposed to be temporary to some degree. She has back home eventually, she's their future queen. She really has no choice BUT to be a grumpy brat. To keep from getting found out and to keep from getting attached. Like sure she doesn't have to be a brat to Hibiki and Kanade, but she's kinda right half the time, and honestly her tempering that brattiness into being just unpleasant enough to be left alone without being so obnoxious she draws people's ire involves way more socio-emotional intelligence than should ever be expected from a nine year old. And at a certain point, after years of it, it became part of her real personality. The sweet optimistic little princess is still there. But it's under a layer of cynicism.
Ako wants her family back. So she gets the power to do that. And things still don't go her way.
I've joked to people before that Ako is one of 4 cures with divorced parents. Her parents are effectively divorced, but extra. They're not just trying to fight over a house and custody of her, but over not just an entire kingdom, but the fate of the world. And her father doesn't even know who she is anymore. Her parents are actively at war, and her mother honestly shows no qualms about letting her husband be potentially killed, not bothering to tell the people she's sent after him about their relationship and his true nature. (And then her mom asks Mephisto to kill her to protect their kingdom, Ako can't catch a break).
This ties back to a fact that is kind of brushed over in the show. Ako is the princess. In the show she's honestly just the princess because it puts her in between Mephisto and Aphrodite's drama. But we see in show that Mephisto and Aphrodite are constantly putting their kingdom's needs above their own. A- monarchs (points deducted for getting brainwashed), but like. B- parents tbh. They love Ako so, so much, but simply can't raise her themselves. In fact, Ako's parents won't look after themselves, so Ako has to look out for them instead of the other way around. We see this a lot with Mephisto.
Sometimes Ako makes absolutely stupid decisions, like releasing notes, because she doesn't want to go against her dad, even if he isn't himself right now. Because she's a child whose parents are fighting, seemingly to the death, and if she can spread out the fight, she can hopefully drag out the arrival of consequences.
Ako does eventually learn to use the power as a cure, so she can balance the needs of the many over the needs of her loved ones. So she can do both. But she has to learn to make the hard choices and be willing to stand against her loved ones.
Also Ako also gets the miscommunication based friendship breakdown with her and Suzu, and to a lesser extent her and Souta in the movie. Suite really goes hard on the whole healing relationships thing.
Ako is really a direct foil to Yuri who precedes her. Missing evil brainwashed dads. Present throughout the whole show, but only join the team in the last quarter (the latest of any Cures). Semi-awkward friendship with one of the other cure's siblings in part because their friend doesn't know about all their magical girl trauma. Already looped into the magical girl stuff before any of the other cures, so has a preexisting relationship of some sort with the grandparent mentor. Ako is pretty much just a baby Yuri, but who has just now gained the power to try and fight after years of inability to do anything, instead of having just lost her power, and having to face down her own failure and keep going. So she's an angry elementary kid rather than a depressed high schooler. How can I not love her?

For your silly Descendants prompts, how about Diego drops Beezlebub (Carlos' cat) on his head at family day after the barrier is taken down while he is talking to a baffled Radcliffe family and Dude?
...I might have taken slight creative liberations with this prompt. Iâve decided that this would do a decent continuation for this prompt, so. But! Diego is here! And Belzebub too!
Also. I donât have any favourites. How dare you even suggest that. (The author laughs nervously and hides these entire story behind their back.)
Anyway, de Vil cousins being drama queens! Enjoy!
âHey! Hold that cat of yours!â
âShut upââ
âGive me back my fucking necklace, itâs a family heirloomââ
âYou stole it from our Aunt just last week!â
âAn heirloom, duh. Now give it back!â
âThe fucking seven times damned cat is in my bloody face!â
As Carlos hears the voices of his cousins and the other new arrivals from the Isle, he winces: He cannot help but question his life choices slightly.
Only slightly though. It does seem like they brought his cat back.
He looks around: The band (shocked into silence), the decorations (highly flammable), the young king (still smiling).
The limo, now still, the driver just about to open the doors.
Carlos smiles too, and if anyone was looking at him, they might have described the smile as manic.
Alas, no one is paying attention to him. But thatâs fine. His cousins are just making a spectacle of themselves, as usual.
Carlos grins wider.
Diego steps out of the limousine first; he scowls at the light (or possibly just at the go-to pastel fashion of Auradon), and then exclaims: âLook â they have a band here!â
Mal pouts, and while Ben comforts her (he has the spirit, okay?), Carlos snickers. He missed his cousins, okay?
âFuck your bands, Diego,â says Ivy, pushing him aside, âItâs so fucking bright in here, itâs hurting my eyes.â She goes silent for a moment, then gestures vaguely to Mal and Ben.
âThat is hurting my eyes too. Does anyone have sunglasses?â
And why, yes, she is definitely talking about Malâs frilly soft pink below-the-knee dress.
Jay nudges his ribs and whispers: âSee you soon, man; cover for me,â for, you see, Jade has perused Ivyâs chaos to sneak out of the focus, and the Agrabah cousins donât need an audience for their reunion.
Carlos flashes Jay a quick gesture for âIâve got your back,â and refocuses back on the limo.
Then Hunter, who helps out little Dizzy; Evie squeaks and almost runs over to greet her friend and hug her, her motherâs etiquette lessons notwithstanding.
Behind Jade, scowling Claudine Frollo exited the car, and damn it, her eyesâ
Carlos is sure they werenât that cold last time he saw her.
Dizzy brightly waves at Evie and rummages through her bedazzled purse; after a moment, she pulls out sunglasses (also bedazzled) and offers them to sneering Ivy. Ivy accepts them with a dramatic sigh.
Fine, and Diegoâs elbow to her ribs, along with whispered âplay niceââ
Ben clears his throat.
This does nothing to shut up Ivy, who had now started arguing with Claudine about a topic Carlos is truthfully afraid to understand.
Ben clears his throat again.
Unsurprisingly, they do not stop talking. Au contraire, Dizzy is now talking too â more like attempting to talk Hunter's ears off, but whatever. Hunter signed up for this by standing in her hearing range.
âBen. Just talk. They'll shut up eventually,â Carlos tells the king. He doesn't add âhopefullyâ even though he really wants to.
âYeah. Just talk louder than them. Stab them if they get too annoying.â Mal glares at Ivy and Claudine a normal and non-concerning amount.
âEstablish dominance,â Evie pipes up, smiling sweetly.
âI- Okay. I'll do that,â agrees Ben reluctantly and then raises his voice: âGreetings! Allow me to welcome you in Auradon, and in Auradon Prepââ
He steps closer to the group of newcomers.
âI'm King Ben, and you already know my companions.â
Another round of excited waving, some raised middle fingers (affectionate), and some glaring from Claudine Frollo.
âYou must be Dizzy Tremaine,â Ben greets the littlest girl first, âI've heard so much about you, all great things, of course. I hope you like it here.â
âTry to kiss me too and I stab you,â warns Ivy, fully serious.
He kisses the girls knuckles as a true fairy tale prince, which leaves her squeaking; unlike his cousins, Carlos smiles at her excitement.
Unable to contain her happiness any longer, Dizzy runs off to greet Evie, and Ben turns to Ivy and Claudine.
âNo stabbing in front of the cameras, Ivyââ intones Carlos along with Diego and Hunter. You see, priorities.
âI will stab you too,â adds Claudine with her eyes narrowed and her tone cold; she steps behind Ivy a bit.
âYeah no don't mind her she just doesn't like human contact!â says Dizzy brightly. She is probably quoting someone, but hey. She is right.
Though it does seem a bit hypocritical, given how tightly Claudine is clutching Ivy's arm right now. Ivy doesn't seem to mind.
Why yes, this is rather interesting.
âOkay. I'm not kissing anyone,â says Ben, backtracking a bit, âWould shaking your hand be better?â
âDonât even tryââ snaps Ivy instead of Claudine and briefly brushes her fingers against hers.
Ivy glares daggers at him but extends her hand; she then proceeds to nearly crush his palm. Good for her, Carlos thinks.
Ben glances towards smiling Mal and chuckles nervously before turning to Claudine, but Claudine just ducks further behind Ivy.
âWTF?â mouths Carlos towards Diego silently; âBetting pool â later,â gestures Diego back.
âIâm Diego,â says Diego and puts his hand forward. Really, it looks like the young king couldnât decide which boy is which.
âAnyway, glad to meet you, Claudine Frollo,â says Ben, obviously doing his best to ignore the glares. Heâs doing a fairly good job: Claudineâs eyes are creepy, Carlos would say.
âAnd you must be Diego and Hunter de Vil,â continues Ben, looking between the two remaining cousins.
âAnd Iâm Hunter,â grumbles Hunter, âLiterally the only blonde de Vil in like four generations. Shouldnât be that hard to figure out.â
âYeah, yeah,â dismisses Ivy, âWe all know there is something wrong with you.â
Finally, Carlos steps out to greet his cousins, mentally saying goodbye to his hairdo.
Carlos tries and fails to not fall into a laughing fit.
The appalled âExcuse yourself?!â is not really helping to be honest.
He ignores Ben quietly asking if there wasnât supposed to be someone else too, and wait, where is Jay?
It doesnât take long for the older two de Vil boys to trap Carlos in a bone crushing hug.
âThanks, man,â whispers Diego so silently that everyone could pretend he didnât speak at all.
âHey, wait, weâve got your catââ says Hunter, as if he only just remembered, which, fair enough.
âOh, shit, rightâ!â
Well finally someone remembers his cat!
Unfortunately, Ivy, that diva, (derogatory), chooses this moment to greet him properly too: She spins him around rather forcibly and hugs him for but a split second, then she holds him by his shoulders at arm length.
âCarlito! So long since weâve seen you, and still so small! But the Auradon fashion works for you, I must say, baby cousinââ
âAnd still no manners, I see,â sniffs Ivy with her nose up high before leaning back on Claudine.
Sure enough, she reaches out and ruffles his hair. That bitch.
The gesture is immediately repeated by Hunter; Diego is still busy wrestling Belzebub the cat out of the limousine.
Carlos growls at his cousins in distaste as he attempts to repair whatever damage they had done.
âAnd whose fault is that?â asks Diego as he emerges out of the limo again, struggling mess of black fur and sharp claws in his arms.
âOur dear auntieâs, obviously.â
Yeah, the Cruella de Vil who had gotten bored and dumped the responsibility for etiquette lessons at her niece within an afternoon. Fortunately for everyone, Ivy didnât stay interested much longer.
âBelzebub, how Iâve missed you,â Carlos coos at his cat and scratches behind his ears; Belzebub purrs and calms down, to the absolute astonishment of the three older cousins.
âWhatever, Ives. Here, Carlos, your little furball of joy and murder.â Diego seems glad to get the cat off his hands; the cat doesnât seem too happy to be moved. It leaves Diego with a nice long good-bye scratch.
Whatever. The blood matches his vest anyway.
âWait wait wait, you called that damned black cat Belzebub?! What is wrong with you people?!â
Carlos glares at Claudine Frollo. He didnât think she could yell that loud.
âBetting pool â later,â gestures Diego again. Carlos scratches behind Belzebubâs ears again â that furyâs shrieks had upset him â and decides to indeed let the matter go. For about as long as it takes to get to a more private area and get the gossip out of Diego.
âWeâre literally called the devils, sweetheart,â drawls Ivy, âDeal with it.â
âŠSweetheart?
âAnyway, weâve got letters for yâall, and we arenât leaving until the baby king reads them.â
âYeah maybe donât call him Baby King to his face, Ivy?â
âShut up. And you read.â Ivy aggressively shoves a bunch of letters into Benâs face.
âLetters? From whom?â he asks.
âWhy, from the Captains, of course.â
âIâm gonna go ahead and guess that you mean Uma and Harriet,â deadpans Carlos, ignoring Malâs intense stare that by all accounts should be able to kill.
âObviously.â
Look, yeah, gang wars are fun and all, but must Ivy wave at Mal? And smile oh-so-sweetly?
Oh who is he kidding, of course she must. Itâs Ivy.
âNo murder in front of the cameras, you two,â Carlos just sighs before turning back to Ben, who is attempting to open the envelopes with his short and manicured nails. Carlos joins his cousins and Claudine in ignoring that struggle and pretending that neither of them has a knife on them.
âHey, waitââ Evie comes to the rescue with scissors (Why on earth does she have scissors on her? âŠYou know what, no. Carlos doesnât want to know.), and Dizzy remembers that she too has several letters for the High King. From Anthony, from her Aunt, and from Uma, surprisingly: That one bluntly states that both Ivy and Claudine are a danger to themselves and should not under any circumstances be left alone. Active deathwish and lack of survival instincts and all. Neat.
Leave it to Uma to sugarcoat things.
Carlos pats Ben on the back and leaves to finally figure out what on earth is going on with Claudine Frollo, his cat in hand.
As he, Diego and Hunter walk away, leaving the king to Ivy, they wave at Jay and Jade on the roof.

Rulilas Gontaut
Reimbursing Rulilas Gontaut
âą [x] returns the cost to Rulilas GontautÂ
âą [x] embodies an apologyÂ
âą [x] acknowledges failure
âą [x] provides a new opportunity for Rulilas GontautÂ
âą [x] relieves you of your guilt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes children grow up with a different perspective from most and see the spirits of things. Sometimes only partially. This has given rise to stories of monsters under the bed or in the closet. Some see the spirit of a particularly uncomfortable shirt, an unloved toy, a catâs stealthy vomit, their resentment of something a classmate said or a spirit of their own fear of the dark.
Me? Aside from the mostly friendly spirits of the floorboards, I was tormented by the spirit of my guilt. It was two months before she came. Ms. Gontaut. I had seen her walking the halls at school. The other kids said she mustâve been a teacher for one of the older grades, but none of us really knew. She came over one evening just before bedtime, apparently she had called ahead because my mom seemed to be expecting her.
âDo you know who I am?â she smiled gently while I stood in my pajamas and my confusion.Â
âMs. Gontaut?â
âAnd do you know what I do?â
I shook my head.
âI check for monsters under beds.â Â
My mom smiled as if this was a joke, but I could see the now-usual sadness in her eyes.
âMineâs behind the dresser.â
âI check there too.â
After studying her for a moment, âAdults canât see it.â My friends couldnât either, but I didnât want to seem too crazy.
Ms. Gontautâs eyes twinkled as she offered her hand, âYouâll have to take me to it then.â
After checking for my momâs nodded assent, I led Ms. Gontaut to my room and gestured to the offending dresser. She paused in front of it before pulling something out of her pocket and cooing and calling as if to coax a dog.
:readmore:
It emerged with its sharp claws which it had used to dig into my heart the weeks previous and with its tentacles which it had used to choke me with sobs, but with its many eyes focused on this strange woman from school and, for the first time, without its fangs bared. As the monster ate the thing from her hand, she began to pet it and looked back to me.
âHave you given it a name?â
âWhatâ
âA name. If you havenât yet, thatâs fine. I need to tell you something,â she gently took something that the monster had clutched in its claws, âYou should probably sit.â
I sat on my bed and she handed me the thing she had retrieved. It was Iggles, an old gift from my father that I had lost years before from a time we visited an aquarium. I stroked the purple seahorse.
Iâm sorry, I heard my fatherâs voice in my mind, Oh, Jimmy, Iâm so sorry I had to leave you.
My eyes stung. But wasnât it my fault? After all those angry things I had said that morningâŠ
Ms. Gontautâs hand was on mine, the other firm upon my monster. She shook her head.
âIt isnât your fault, Jimmy. It was never your fault.â She was studying the monster, interpreting its features.
âBut Iââ I broke into a sob.
âMaybe you said some words in anger that you regret, but you didnât cause the storm and you didnât loosen those rocks. You werenât even there.â
âBut what I said chased him! I saw it!âÂ
She gazed at me with an apologetic understanding. I realized I had never quite seen eyes like hers before.
Ms. Gontaut gestured toward Iggles. I handed him over and she held him up in front of me.
Iâm sorry⊠my fatherâs voice whispered in my mind.
âFocus carefully on this seahorseâs eyes. It is normal for words to stick with someone for a time; to chase, to torment, to remain, to comfort. But your words did not kill anyone. Followed, yes, but they caused no harm to him. Normally, people donât even see them. Would you like me to make it so that you canât see them?â
I considered the option for longer than I would have expected, my eyes supernaturally transfixed to Igglesâs button eyes. Concern about the monster next to us crossed my mind.
âYou donât have to fear this one. Itâs coming with me. It will not be lurking around invisibly.â
âO-okay. Yes. As long as you promise they wonât hurt me.â
âThen continue staring at the eyes.â
Iâm sorry, Jimmy. Iâm sorry I frustrated you. Iâm sorry Iâm gone. Iâm sorry I canât be there for you. I love you. I love youâŠ
My fatherâs voice ceased apologizing. The world around stilled a bit and the spell that seemed to keep my eyes locked finally broke. The monster was gone. The floorboards were merely floorboards.
âThe weight of the guilt of your fatherâs death is not anyoneâs to carry, especially not yours. If you feel the need to apologize for something you said, you can write it down, maybe. Or tell your seahorse?â
I love you. I love you. I love youâŠ
âIâm sorry, Dad. I donât hate you. I miss you.â
Ms. Gontaut held my hand for a while. I felt better. Still raw and anguished, but less guilt-wrackedâŠnot that I understood it in those terms at the time.
âIt will still hurt,â she broke the silence at last, âThe world can be like that. But itâŠthe worldâŠcan offer happiness from time to time. I will not tell you to shed your grief. Only your guilt. If you need to talk to me at school, stop me any time.â

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024.
Would you rather visit The Eiffel Tower or the Egyptian Pyramids? I would be much more interested in visiting the Pyramids.
Would you be surprised if your most recent ex called you tonight? I probably wouldn't even answer because don't pick up numbers I don't recognize.
Do you need to lose or gain weight? I still need to gain a little bit of weight. I don't know exactly what I weigh (I haven't checked since sometime around February or March of this year), but going with an estimate based on that, I'm about 1 BMI point below normal. Obviously, I might need to gain more than that to feel my best, but we'll just see how things go.
Do you think you have a disorder but havenât been properly diagnosed yet? No. In fact, I'm approaching a point where at least some of my previous diagnoses could be removed. I still struggle to an extent, but perhaps no longer at a "clinical" level.
What is the population of the city you live in? Approximately 111,000.
How many pairs of jeans do you own? I have a few pairs of jeans. Most of them are stuffed away in storage and I basically never wear them, but I do have a dark gray pair that I should wear more oftenâŠ
When did you last vacuum your room? Monday afternoon.
Have you ever put on or lost a significant amount of weight? Both. I've relapsed and "recovered" and relapsed and "recovered" from my eating disorder since I was 14. "Recovered" is in quotes because even though I would put on some weight, the mental side of things was never fully resolved. I'm in a pretty stable place now, though. I've been through some things over the past year(ish) that would have had me running right back to old habits, but aside from a few dips, it's been a mostly upward trend. At least when it comes to the foreseeable future, I really can't see myself returning to the way I was. The desire is still there, but I don't want to give up the life I've created for myself for something that would be comparatively miserable.
On a scale of 1-5, how often do you curse? Maybe 2-3. It also depends on who I'm around.
What is the worst thing youâve ever smelled? Probably dog shit. At the end of the day, we have to go around and empty all the trash cans at the shelter, and the dog poo cans are especially potent. Skunk spray is a close second. Yesterday, a woman brought in a kitten that seemed to have been sprayed. It's currently being housed in one of the bathrooms, and even though the smell isn't that strong, it's still not pleasant.
Whatâs your favorite social media platform? YouTube, Instagram, and Tumblr.
Name someone with brown eyes. Liv.
Do you know what your next injection will be? I have no idea.
Does anyone call you darling? If so who? No.
If you had to have a cartoon character tattooed to you what would it be? Maybe the Aristocat kittens. :')
You have to dye your hair two colours, what do you choose? Black and blood red. I would also consider doing something with pastels, but I can't decide on the colors.
If you could, would you look at your future self? No. I might see myself doing well and that would be a comfort, but what if I saw myself doing poorly? As difficult as it can be, I'd rather just deal with that unknown.
Who was your first serious relationship? I'm not sure who to count as my first serious relationship.
If you had to cut a parent out of your life who would you cut out? My mom. I don't want to cut her out of my life, but if push came to shove, then I would much rather have my dad around.
If you had to get a piercing right now what would you get done? Probably another lip piercing. I've had other piercings before (both eyebrows, bridge, and ears), but those didn't do well.
Who is the number 1 person/thing in your life? My dad and my cats (if it's okay to count cats as people in this case). As for a thing, volunteering.
What are two things you wish you never did? I don't know. I do have regrets and some of them are rather painful, but I try to look at them as lessons learned the hard way.
Would you rather have three personal wishes or world peace? Ahh fvck it. World peace. I might not care much about the world as it is (blah blah blah I'm going to die in 50 years and none of this will matter blah blah blah), but if I was presented with a magical opportunity to improve it for everyone, then I would probably take it.
What were/is your high school colors? One was red and white and the other was gold and white.
When someone sneezes, do you say âBless you,â or âGod Bless you?â Typically "bless you." But sometimes my dad will get to sneezin' up a storm and I'll just be like: blessin's, bleezin's, sneezus, my condolences, etc.
Do you ever look at someone cute, and automatically make a move? No.
What are two things you are excited to do in the near future? Lunch with my mom at Chili's. She's picking me up soon, so I might not have time to finish this survey before she does. Also, Halloween at the animal shelter. It falls on a Thursday, which is normally one of my days off, but I'm thinking of going in anyway and taking Friday or Saturday off instead. Oh, and I know this only asks for two things, but I'm also looking forward to going to the Mountain Park tomorrow. I'm so glad my dad and I have turned it into an almost weekly thing.
Do you live in a house, apartment, or another type of arrangement? A house.
Are you one of those people who like to spell out numbers? It depends.
Who was the last person (if anyone) you said Happy Birthday to? Brianna, a woman who works at the animal shelter. She had her birthday just a little bit ago.
Do you have Photoshop? If so, how often a day do you use it? I don't.
Do you watch any shows that you know your parents wouldnât approve of? My mom might not approve of some of the political stuff I watch.
Do you plan your meals in any way? I pretty much eat the same things day in and day out with relatively little variation, but there's still some planning that goes into it. I have to buy the ingredients, etc.
Were you in the scouts when you were young? Yeah.
How many people could sleep in your home? (Not counting floor space; beds and couches only) Depends on how squished you want them to be.
Have you ever made a hole-in-one at mini-golf? I don't recall.
What genre was the last song you listened to? Who provided the vocals? Classical. There were no vocals.
If an ex said they hated you, what would you say? Idk.
What would you do if you found out your most recent ex was in a relationship? Last I knew, they were in a relationship.
Truthfully, is there someone you used to date that you miss? Yeah. There are two people I miss. I wouldn't want to reconnect, butâŠy'know. They still have a place in my heart.
If you could go forward in time and see your life 5 years from now, what would you hope to see? Hopefully even healthier, working at the animal shelter, possibly living in my own apartmentâŠ
Who came over last? My mom. I just got back from the lunch outing I mentioned above.
Has one of your friends ever tried to âhook you up?â No.
What is your card game of choice? I don't have one.
What is your favourite books series? It's not exactly a series, but books by Joshua Cutchin. I think I've read all but his most recent release.
If you eat oatmeal, do you add water or milk to it and whatâs your favorite flavor? Most of the time, I just add water. I also use plain oatmeal more often than not and just flavor it with other things (peanut butter, fruit, chocolate syrup, etc), but as far as flavored packets go, probably brown sugar & cinnamon or peaches & cream.
Was the last video you watched on YouTube a music video and if not, what was it of? It was "Varsity Boos! Homecoming Haunts and School Spirits" by Belief Hole.
Has anyone you know personally ever won the lottery and if so, how much did they win and would you or have you ever played the lottery? No.
What was the last thing someone has sincerely thanked you for? I'm not sure.
What band, celebrity, etc. do you know the most information about and who would you like to learn more about? I know nothin 'bout nothin. I can't really think of anyone I want to learn more about either.

Breaking InÂ
[I got permission to post this from the guy that bought it.]
I canât tell what wakes me first when all I see is early morning light, it isnât too uncommon for me to be startled up before my alarm. But I canât shake the feeling that something is wrong. The room is too small for anything to be out of place, or for anyone but a cat to hide, so I know itâs nothing there. And the window curtains are pulled aside with the blinds lifted halfway just like they always are right next to my bed so I can see out in the morning â and I see nothing outside either.Â
I know that Iâm home alone while all my roommates have gone to stay with their own families for a few days, so nobody could have woken me by talking or dropping something.Â
Still, I chalk it up to a bad dream I canât remember or the heat and lay back down, bundled under two weighted blankets and a feather down comforter too comfortable to move out from underneath, covering my eyes once again before trying to catch whatever sleep I have left. Itâs easy in the silence of the house, despite the eerie feeling, and soon enough I am out once more.Â
When I start to awaken again itâs to pressure on my body, which I think little of, holding out my hand with the expectation of one of my cats butting their head against me like normal. Instead, I am jolted awake when someone grips my wrist and slings their leg over my hips to straddle me, their other hand covering my mouth and stopping my head from moving. I freeze in fear, too scared to remove the cloth I keep over my eyes while I sleep.Â
âIâve been waiting to meet you, Lily.âÂ
Itâs like ice in my veins, to hear my name in a stranger's voice. I know what I post, and I know the people it attracts â but I was so sure that I had been careful, or that they lived too far away, or any number of reasons that had kept me teasing and teasing, post after post, begging to be used.Â
I can feel him shifting above me, the pressure releasing for just a moment before I hear the zipper of his jeans and he removes his hand from my mouth, a white-knuckle grip on my legs as he moves our positions until my legs are around his waist and heâs leaning over me. Iâm still too scared to speak, trying my best to sink into the bed.Â
âIâm gonna use you just like youâre meant to be, little cow.â He doesnât give me any time after that before heâs grinding himself down against me, the thin material of my pajama pants being little barrier. Still, I can hear him moving the cabinets above my bed and I know what heâll find. I know he has when I feel the familiar touch of the rope and my lingerie. âThis is what I wanted, come here,â he says, grabbing a fistful of hair and pulling me up to be chest to chest with him still grinding mercilessly against me. âWeâre gonna get you changed, and then Iâm gonna break these pretty little holes in.âÂ
Itâs dizzying, the way Iâm shoved to my feet with no real warning, before I hear his demand to strip and my body starts to comply automatically, slowly, still too scared to anger him.Â
It doesnât matter, I realize, because when I finally uncover my eyes and look at him, he seems more than amused by my reactions.Â
I donât need to be told what to do when he tosses my black sheer dress at me, silently and obediently getting into the garment while trying to hide myself. But there isnât much time for that before heâs on me again, fist back in my hair and kicking my legs from under me, face shoved into the bed and free hand on my hip like a vice to rut against my now unprotected pussy. Like a tease. Itâs enough to get my body going and I know I'm getting wet already, shame flooding me instead.Â
He flips me around after a few minutes, rope in hand as he methodically untangles it and pulls me up. Saying nothing as he ties the black cord around my chest as tight as he can manage before finishing it off and using the remainder to bind my wrists together. Itâs hard to breathe, but harder to think about when he shoves me on my back and pulls my head to the edge of the bed.Â
âIâm gonna cum down this pretty throat,â he punctures his words by squeezing tight and fast to cut my air for a moment, âso you know exactly how Iâm gonna break this pussy.â I jolt when he gives one hard slap to it, unable to stop myself from whimpering.Â
He pries my mouth open, wasting no time in forcing his cock in, leaving me to choke while I try to adjust. But heâs waited to have me long enough, and patience proves not to be his virtue when his hand rewraps around my throat and he leans over, being to piston his hips into my mouth, making sure he forces himself in fully before pulling back.Â
It gets hard to breathe, and the corners of my vision would be blurry if I could keep my eyes open, but I canât. Instead, I struggle to move while he uses me like a toy, slurring at me and using his other hand to grope and prod at my body, pulling one tit from where it is tied and in my top, yanking and twisting on my nipple. It proves hard to keep track of time when he barely releases his hold on my neck, but soon his pace becomes sloppy, and he keeps stopping to bury himself roughly against my face.Â
I push my head back and cry, choking on his cock when he does it again, only to simultaneously shove two fingers into my virgin pussy as he thrusts inside my mouth. Itâs painful, especially when Iâve never managed more than half of two fingers, but my cries seem to do the trick for him and a moment later he is flush against my face and pumping his load down my throat, forcing me to swallow.Â
âIâll tell you now, you stupid bitch, if even a drop comes out, Iâm taking your ass first.âÂ
He stops for a second before pulling out, untying me just as easily before forcing my body around. His breathing is ragged, but he still speaks, âon all fours, cow.âÂ
Shaking, and trying to see through the tears I hadnât even registered as falling, I find myself unable to move. Itâs a blessing to breath, but I canât focus. Until another sharp pain from where he brings his hand down over my pussy once again. âI said move,â he barks, yanking me by my hair again until I start to comply, limbs still ready to give out at any second.Â
He has already readied the rope again, and he wastes no time tying it around my hips and legs, under my ass. Itâs tight enough that I canât move without issue, keeping me still at his mercy while I just struggle to keep my body up on all fours and legs spread, afraid of being hit again.Â
But itâs when I open my legs that I can feel how wet I am, the cold air making it easy to tell â and I know easy for him to see. Itâs humiliating, but it doesnât stop me from getting wetter at the same time, my body more than ready on instinct to be put in my proper place.Â
âIâm gonna breed you so fucking good. Youâre gonna look so good for me â gonna be my little cock-sleeve, huh?â He pulls my head back while he talks to me, but all I can do is whimper. He slaps my ass, hard enough I know his handprint must be in red immediately. âAnswer me, tell me youâre gonna be my cock-sleeve.âÂ
My arms almost give out, but I stop myself, trying to speak despite the choked breaths I take. âIâll be your cock-sleeve.âÂ
I can hear him groan and feel him pull my back against his hardening dick, sliding it along my already abused folds. âGood girl, gonna break you so good. Just like you fucking want.â His words are almost a growl before his hands are in my hair and on the rope tied tight to my hips, seating himself flush in my virgin pussy with one thrust.Â
He cusses, grinding his hips for a moment. âYour body is begging for it.â He stops to give another deep throat until heâs once more balls deep. âGonna mold this tight little pussy to my dick, baby.âÂ
I canât get a word out, I canât fall with his hand in my hair, but I canât focus from the pain, despite how wet and ready my pussy was for him to slide in when he forced it, and despite how it clenches and leaks around him now.Â
He doesnât care about my lack of response, too lost in his own world before he wraps his hands in the rope tighter and starts to pick up speed, determine to abuse my pussy worse than he had my mouth.Â
Even with the pain, the words he says as he degrades me and the way my pussy seems to beg for him to breed me donât go unnoticed â even with my crying I canât help my moan, which earns me a slap on the ass each time, sure to leave me bruised if I am not already. But it is when I start to shake and buckle that he forces me to listen.Â
âIf you drop on your arms before I cum in this tight pussy then Iâm gonna force my load into your little virgin ass, and weâll keep trying until you stay up the whole time.âÂ
I canât help the cries that come next, because I know I donât have the strength to keep myself up, especially when he picks up his brutal and abusing pace.Â
âIâm gonna fill you up with so many loads, you stupid bitch. I own these holes now.âÂ

Thinking about writing some LionBreeze angst for the upcoming Profic April event!!!!
One of the first prompts is âcousinsâ, with a secondary prompt of âgetting back togetherâ
So my basic idea so far is that instead of Lionpaw sneaking into the tunnels to met Heatherpaw, his forbidden romance is instead with Breezepaw. At that time, they had no idea of their relation, they each just saw a handsome cat in the other clan and had to learn more about them. Breezepaw was rough and salty, as usual, but he liked the loud and brash Thunderclan apprentice that looked like the sun itself. Lionpaw was clumsy and a battle-loving himbo, and he was enthralled by the Windclan tom who looked to hold the night sky in his pelt.
They met in the tunnels, and their relationship grew. Rather than just going to the tunnels to âbattle trainâ (Lion) or âextend territoryâ(Breeze) as they had told themselves, they began to go for other reasons âto see how Breezepaw is doingâ (Lion) or âto help clan relationsâer, and to bring Lionpaw this feather I foundâ (Breeze)
They got closer and closer, and then âmatesâ was on the tip of both catâs tongue, though neither was sure when to speak it out loud. Lionblaze was the one who finally said it.
They were both laying in the tunnels, in a comfortable crevice that Lionblaze had found by accident (when he fell into it head-first while playing a game of chase with Breezepelt moons ago, when they were still apprentices). Breezepelt is laid comfortably, while Lionblaze rumbles a purr and grooms the fur on the top of Breezepeltâs head. They still fightâthatâs actually something that both of them enjoyâbut theyâve reached a point where they know each other, and theyâre comfortable laying together.
âIt sucks we canât tell anyone about us being mates.â Lionblaze says.
Breezepeltâs ear flicks as he registers the words, particularly the last one. That specific word hadnât ever been said between them. âWhat?â He asks.
Lionblaze didnât seem to realize that the response was made in surprise. He continued licking Breezepeltâs forehead, his throat rumbling with a deep, pleased purr. âOtherwise I would take you to the Great Oak and yowl to all the clans that we were together.â
Breezepelt is silent for a moment, aside from a soft subconscious purr of his own. He isnât against the sentimentâquite the opposite! But he hadnât expected Lionblaze to say it like that. In a way, it was a blatant reality-check for Breezepelt as he suddenly realized the relationship he had managed to stumble into. Yes, he had thought of Lionblaze in that way, but all of these times hanging out, he hadnât thought that Lionblaze actually cared for him in that way.
Perhaps it a was a self-preservation instinct that hadnât let Breezepelt consider the affection that Lionblaze had for him. But now, with the words hanging between them, he decides that he can accept this romance that he hadnât even realized was possible for him.
(Breezepelt going over their past moons and moons together: IâŠ.butâŠ.I thought that was just being friendly and pals. So when we cuddled, it wasnât just sharing tongues. Oh, and our secret sharing was more than just friendship. Oh, I see now, ohhhhhh Starclan I was so blindâwait, heâŠhe LIKES ME? Iâdo I like him? Of course heâs handsome, and strong, and heâs funny, and a bit cute, but I didnât think that IâŠthat I likedâŠohhhhhhhhhh I see! 0.0 *sees that Lionblaze had meant all those actions in a romantic way, and realizes that he has the chance to safely explore the possibility of romance with his closest friend aaAAAAAA)
OH OH OH! BUT THEN!!!! (You thought it would only be fluff? Nah bud, the secondary prompt is âgetting back togetherâ and that requires a breakup)
THE SECRET COMES OUT!
Lionblaze is standing at the gathering with Jayfeather at his side and his clanmates around him. Itâs going normally, until Hollyleaf calls the four clansâ attention as she yowls her familyâs dirty bedding for all to hear. She tells everyone, including her brothers, about their true parentage, about Leafpoolâs breaking of the warrior code, about Crowfeather having kin in other clans.
Gasps ring out, and angry yelling, and indignant shouts, and Lionblaze canât breathe. He stands still as a fence-post, his eyes wide as his mind raced, making him dizzy with the flurry of emotion and thought. He swallows, Firestar is saying something and he canât hear it through the buzzing in his ears, he looks around for something, anything to calm his mind.
His eyes lock onto Breezepeltâs across the clearing. Both toms stare at each other, their worlds both deathly silent despite the clamouring of the clan around them.
Breezepelt looks away.
Lionblaze feels his dizziness make way to nausea. Breezepelt hated him now, he couldnât even look Lionblaze in the face anymore. The golden tom felt his heart drop into his stomach like a swallowed stone, weighing him down as his mouth watered with revolting hot saliva, Lionblazeâs only warning before his stomach emptied its contents onto the grass. His eyes sting, they burn and Lionblaze struggles to seeâuntil he realize that his eyes are watery with tears. He shakes his head furiously and turns away from the Great Oak, from Breezepelt, from Hollyleaf.
He runs to the tree bridge and leaves the scene, just in time, too; the roaring in his ears had died down, and was replaced with the growing yowling of dozens of cats on the island.
He runs to the tunnels. Where else?
He lays down. He sniffles. He roughly wipes away tears as his sadness gave way to the defensive secondary instinct of anger. How could Hollyleaf do that? How could she expose such a serious thing, without care to her siblings or her parents?
Parents. The words send Lionblaze reeling as he realizes that he doesnât even know that most basic part of his life. The word brings the image of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw to his mind, only to be clumsily pasted over with shoddy representations of Leafpool and Crowfeather.
Crowfeather.
The father of Lionblazeâs mate.
The father of Lionblaze as well.
Lionblaze huffs and curls into a ball, feeling as though the tunnels were more vast and cold than they ever had been. He hides his nose under his tail, his brow furrowed. If he slept, he would feel better. If he slept, he would wake up in the Thunderclan camp and things will be just as they were just two days ago. If he slept, he would wake up to Breezepelt nudging him awake and playfully ribbing him for falling asleep in the tunnels. If he slept, it would be fixed.
Lionblaze slept.
Breezepelt didnât come.

wip ask game!! beast?? (iâm. possibly angling for something specific here lmao. but obviously anything you share is <3333)
âCome in, come in!â She chirped, stepping aside and waving them along. âKnock the mud off your boots!â
Ghost hadnât had someone tell him to do that sinceâŠsince Mum. But there was absolutely no arguing with Ms. Mactavishâs tone, so he did as he was told.
The interior of the home was, if anything, even more cheery than the outside. A floral print couch sat against one wall, facing the window and a wall of photographs. There was a cat tower in one corner, though Ghost couldnât see the beast. Everywhere he looked, he saw little trinkets; photographs hung on a string, figurines, rugs, knicknacks. There were even some wind chimes hung indoors.
âTake a seat, make yourselves at home,â Ms. Mactavish was saying, moving into the kitchen. âIâll get some cookies baking for you boys!â
Price had removed his hat, and subtly elbowed Gaz until he followed suit. For a split second Ghost considered doing the same, but quickly dismissed the idea. Sometimes he could manage without the mask back at the base, with only the team around, but the idea of it happening here, so far from homeâŠno. It was best for him to keep this small comfort.
Ms. Mactavish came back into the living room, and Price put on his best Polite Smile.
âThank you so much for your hospitality, Miss.â
She just swatted his arm. âItâs nothing, dear. Johnnyâs told me all about you boys! Itâs the least I can do. And call me Agnes, please; itâs my name, after all.â
Price dipped his head. âAgnes. Iâm Captain Price.â He pointed to each of the team in turn. âAnd this here is Gaz, Roach, andââ
âYou must be Ghost,â Agnes beamed up at him.
Ghost hesitated, at a loss for words. Agnes just kept smiling at him, the skin crinkling at the corner of her eyes. She had Johnnyâs eyes, bright and blue, like cold open skies. Sharp, despite her age.
Finally, she looked away, smiling at the rest of the team. âJohnnyâs told me a lot about you all,â she said. âPlease, make yourselves comfortable. Whatever you need, Johnny can get for you.â She patted Soapâs cheek with another smile. âCanât you?â
Soap smiled back at her. He had the same crowâs feet at the corners of his eyes when he smiled. âSure thing, Gran.â
Something meowed at Ghostâs feet, and he looked down. A fluffy, black and white cat was rubbing up against his legs, purring so loudly its whole body seemed to tremble.
Gaz snorted out a laugh. âGhost, I think she likes you.â
Ghost leveled a glare at him; normally itâd stop grown men in their tracks with bone-chilling terror, but Gaz just beamed.
Roach raised an eyebrow and signed, Do you think theyâll let Ghost have a cat on base?
Ghost growled, deep in his throat, and Roach just laughed behind his hand.
send me a word and I'll give you a sentence from my WIPs!
#i gave u this whole bit because the team banter >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>#also this probably wasnt what you were wanting but shockingly enough it was the only ''beast'' in all my wips lmao#despite me including the hound in. many many aus#leo đ»#winter writes#call of duty modern warfare#soapghost#task force 141

Danse: If you have the time to talk now, I'd still like to know what you think about Scribe Haylen. Cat: Is something wrong? Danse: No, not at all. Haylen's doing well. I simply wanted to talk to you about her, but I wanted to know what you thought of her first. Cat: She's as dedicated as they come. A real team player. Danse: I couldn't agree more. But I wasn't looking for an evaluation of her performance as a scribe, I wanted to know what you thought of Haylen... as a person.
- oh. ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh! i see what this is ;3
---- honestly? my thoughts on Haylen are mostly positive at this point, i don't think they'd make the worst couple.
-------- note to self: see if i can convince her to join the Railroad...
Cat: This isn't like you, Danse. Are you going to tell me what this is all about? Danse: I suppose I'm beating around the bush because I don't normally find these discussions easy to handle. I'll try and get right to the point. The truth is, I'm worried about her. Since you and I are getting along so well, I felt like I could confide in you about it... to get your honest opinion. Cat: She seems to be able to handle herself. Why are you worried? Danse: Haylen is a model scribe. This has nothing to do with her capabilities in the field. A few months before you found us, one of my men was shot multiple times by Raiders. Haylen stayed by that Knight's side for two days straight without sleep fighting to keep him alive... but he was on a slow decline. I decided that his suffering needed to end and ordered Haylen to administer an overdose of painkillers so he could die with dignity. Even though I'm certain she wanted to continue fighting for that Knight's life, she injected him without question. Cat: Are you asking me whether or not I approve? Danse: Of course not. I stand by every order I've ever given. That soldier was gravely wounded. Even if by some miracle he happened to survive, he would have been paralyzed for life. But the decision whether or not to ease that soldier's suffering isn't the point here. The point is what happened later that same evening. After what felt like an eternity, she collapsed into my arms, crying. I... didn't know what to do, so I just held her for a while. A few minutes later, she stopped, kissed me on the cheek, and simply said "Thank you", before heading back into the police station. Right then it hit me... maybe I pushed her too hard. I ordered her to ignore her instincts. To do something her medical training told her was wrong. That's why I'm worried about her... and for that matter, everyone under my command.
- yeah, these two would both benefit from getting the fuck away from the Brotherhood. like, tough decisions for tough situations, but ideally you don't send people into those situations, or at least without the resources and personell necessary to make it back.
Cat: Haylen will be fine. It's you that I'm worried about. Danse: Me? Look, four soldiers... over half of my team, are gone. Each one of them died because of decisions that I made. I understand the risks that come with the job, we all do. But how can anyone have confidence in me anymore? Hell, how can I have confidence in myself? Cat: Would it make you feel better if I told you that I believed in you? Danse: Actually, it does. Well, it looks like things have taken a turn. I signed up to be your sponser so I could teach you everything that I know, but it looks like I'm the one that needed the lesson today. All joking aside, I'm pleased that we had this discussion, and even with all the problems you're facing, you still took the time to listen. It's comforting to know that I can speak to you as more than just your commanding officer. Cat: I'm here anytime you need me, Danse. Danse: Anyway, thanks for letting me get that off my shoulders. I think it's been weighing on me more than I realized. I'm only sorry you had to see me at my worst instead of at my best.
- QUEST ADDED: convince Scribe Haylen to leave the Brotherhood of Steel.
#there was an option to flirt with him which 1: fuck no he's my son 2: he's literally asking me for advice about another woman#like maybe this was written with the intention of some kind of jealousy angle? somehow? idek#on a meta level i have doubts that he'll end up with haylen even if i don't romance him#just based on the fact that piper kept coming at me with her final dialogue until i took the plunge#tbh it'd be nice if romanceable npcs had a potential conclusion to their arc that didn't involve the player character#like if there was an option to set them up with each other or with a non-companion npc or just get them to stop asking or something#i'm not really a fan of the whole playersexual thing it feels like everyone you don't romance is just left hanging#anyway rant over i guess#fallout 4: the resurrection of osha#fallout 4

been in bed like 90% of the day due to fatigue riperoni but hey!!! lots of writing got done at least! Silverlight excerpt below. Tag list: @ambreeskyewriting @feather-dancer @karangarin @serenanymph
Jack offered his own support to the fairy, and, reluctantly, they coaxed her back to bed. Somewhere between one step and the next, her armor seemed to dissolve into moonlight. A glance back showed that the sword had disappeared as well, with nothing but a few granules of glittering dust left in its wake.
"There we go." Polly pulled the blanket up over Sylvie's legs whether she liked it or not. She was going to ensure her patient's comfort with excellent bedside manner, and she wouldn't take no for an answer. Then, satisfied, she stood up, hands on her hips, voice suddenly taking on a sterner tone than usual. "He's as much a fairy as you are, you know. You ought to show him a hint of respect."
Jack failed to look anything more than meek as the fairy sized him up.
"Him," she echoed. "A fairy?"
"...Exiled," he answered, and looked away.
Polly made a face, regarding Sylvie before turning to Jack. "You alright?" she said, joining him besides the hearth.
He used the stoker to prod idly at the logs, avoiding her gaze.
She put a hand on his shoulder. "Jack, she had a sword at your throat. What happened?"
He shrugged, twisting his mouth up. "One minute I was asking her if I could do anything for her, next thing I knew, I was up against the wall."
"Let me see." When he didn't respond, Polly reached out, carefully putting her hand over his before taking the stoker out of his grip and setting it aside. He let her gently take hold of his chin, turn his face towards her and up so she could see the small nick on his throat. It was barely a scratch, nothing that needed looking at, but her chest tightened at the sight of it all the same. "She cut you."
"I'm fine." His throat bobbed as he swallowed.
She glanced from the cut to his eyes, green and shining, ringed by long brown lashes. And so very close. If they didn't have someone else in the house, she could so easily tilt his chin back down, lean in just an inch...
"Are you through with the fairy now?" Marius hopped onto her shoulders, settling in like a scarf. All at once, Polly released Jack, pulling her hand away and swallowing her feelings as the cat continued on: "I'm hungry. We normally have breakfast thirty minutes ago."
"Right. Of course, sweet boy." Polly stood, offering a hand to help Jack to his feet as well. "Jack, do you have any dried fish?"
[something else. jack goes out for foraging and firewood]
Polly sat beside the bed, holding out one of the bowls. The fairy took it reluctantly, dark eyes flashing with suspicion.
"It's not poisoned."
The fairy scoffed.
Polly pursed her lips. She was growing frustrated with the fairy's insistence on being stoic and unflappable. "You'll feel better if you stop trying to act like you're not wounded."
"I've more important things to do."
"Too bad." She frowned into her soup, trying to remember if anything in Jack's stories of Faerie could apply here. A fairy soldier with magic armor. A shapeshifter. But never did he describe someone quite so stubborn. "Will you at least tell me your name?"
"It's not important."
"'Course it is. I have to call you something, don't I?"
After a long moment, the fairy finally looked up from the bowl. She seemed to be searching for something, and her gaze made Polly's skin crawl. When it almost became too much to bear, Polly thought to say something, but the fairy finally spoke. "Sylvie."
"Sylvie?" Polly echoed. "Is that your name?"
"It's what you'll call me."
"Right...It's nice to meet you, Sylvie. I'm Polly, and that's Jack. And that's...Marius."
"You sound upset," Marius moaned. He stalked over, hopping into Polly's lap and nearly upsetting her bowl. "Are you upset?"
"Um," said Polly. "Sylvie, did you do this to my cat?"
"He got in the way. And his yowling annoyed me."
Polly frowned. She looked down at Marius' big, pleading eyes. "I see. And... where, exactly, were you trying to get to with two arrows in your side?"
"I'm a warrior of the Day Court. I've a message that has to reach the Day King before it's too late."
"What news?"
Sylvie shot Polly a look.
"Right. Secret messages. Very important, very secret." She had to admit, deep down, she was a little excited about the prospect. This was the most exciting thing that had ever happened to her. "Well...I'm glad you're not dead, anyway."
Sylvie grunted. She looked away, silver hair falling into her face again, as she contemplated the bowl in front of her. Against her will, her stomach growled.
"...Right." Polly stood up, catching Marius in her arms. "You get some rest."
Sylvie watched Polly try to add an extra log to the fire. Reluctantly, she dipped her spoon into the broth, and ate the soup. Quietly, just to herself, she had to admit: "...It tastes good."

âïžđ©”A Bit About Yingpeiđ©”âïž
Hello hello~ I'm back with a quick post about a character from my last post you all still know nothing about! How forgetful of me eh? This is Yingpei, he's the other human in the Devildom with You and Solomon according to Diavolo, he's there to balance out the strangeness of Solomon to make you feel more comfortable being a human in the Devildom, even if he is just as supernatural as Solomon
Incase you're wondering what he sounds like!
1: Something About Solomon đ€
Sometimes you can't help but feel like he isn't human, but surely that's just your imagination... Right? I mean can you be sure that Solomon is still human? Living for centuries does things to you!!
Speaking of which how old was he again? He doesn't remember? That checks out, he's somewhere around Solomon's age apparently, they'd met when they were both still young.
Although not interested into the variety of magics that Solomon is, he's skilled in ice magic and in something called Lunar Magic, he likes creating small snow clouds and wherever he goes he seems to like creating his own like frozen wonderland
Even your room isn't safe from this! But if you dislike the snow or the cold then he won't push!
Solomon seems to act a bit weary around him and Yingpei seems to be the only one to get Solomon to quiet down if he gets too pushy
Shockingly enough he seemed to adapt to language terrifyingly quickly but it's safe to assume if he's been alive long enough to know Solomon when he was younger then he knows his way with words
Barbatos seems to take great enjoyment in knowing that Solomon becomes less of a pain with Yingpei present
2: Lucifer And The Moon đ
There's a curious symbol on the back of his coat it looks something like this
You've asked him what it meant before but he never gave a proper answer, just saying "It's something from the past"
Lucifer knows a lot about him, even including the intricacies of the magic he uses on a day to day basis, which is odd considering him arriving with you and Solomon should have been the first time they'd met.
Aside from his peculiarities, he's a good friend and an honest person although somewhat out of touch with modern day society
He's a strange character for sure but you can trick him into working with you if you say it's what normal people do, he's been isolated to a secluded village high in the mountains of East Asia after all, he's somewhat out of touch with modern society.
Lucifer is busy with Diavolo during the day and at night he's busy outside on the balcony with Yingpei, although there is no paperwork involved, the conversations on the balcony often are anything but good judging by the tone they speak in
I say the tone they speak in because every word spoken is in a language you don't understand
Although sometimes the conversations are much... Gentler. You still can't understand them regardless but seeing Lucifer's shoulders slump for so long proves there's some strong trust between the two, especially since you were told that Yingpei is just human
Although Yingpei is somewhat cat like in nature, he's fond of Cerberus whenever Lucifer let's him see the three headed hellhound
Have you ever noticed how beautiful things are under the moonlight?
Overall, he's a nice person and a calm change from Solomon's antics, he cares about you deeply MC and will do whatever he can to help you! Sure he's a bit off kilter compared to the others but he means well, but if he's having a conversation with Lucifer late at night it's best not to get involved. You may find yourself biting off more then you can chew. Aside from that, there's a lot you still don't know about your companion, hope you get along!
"Doesn't the moon look lovely tonight?"
Adorable pixel dividers can be found here

Flatline does a funky little experiment, and surprisingly it works.
This was based off the ask I may or may not have sent in to darklordofthesimp, which love their writing, very much to die for in my opinion.
Boredom and curiosity sure bring out odd sides of people and can truly lead to rather interesting results. Such was the case of Flatline, one of the medics for the Task Force 141.
Sheâs had her fair share of odd experiences, both at her old job as a paramedic and now as a combat medic. But witnessing one of the best snipers theyâve ever heard of and seen responding to being pspspspspsed at? Definitely not something they would ever think they would witness.
Now, you may be wondering, Flatline, how the fuck did you manage that, let alone come up with the idea of pspspspspsing at someone? Well, for shits and giggles of course. Ok maybe not for shits and giggles but more because curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back.
It started like what would be a normal day on base. Meaning, she was currently on her like second or third cup of coffee. Not healthy and not very effective but itâs fine. At least thatâs what she told herself. The eye bags begged to differ but in this line of work, that was to be expected.
There was only one other person sitting in the common area with Flatline, that person being Birdy. Flatline had mixed emotions about Birdy, finding the woman to be rather scary, even if she was now incredibly traumatized. Actually, scratch that, that made Flatline more scared because Birdy was scary as hell before, but now sheâs rather unpredictable.
The two sat in a rather comfortable silence, aside from the occasional sound coming from Flatlines phone. She was just scrolling through random videos in her phone, before she landed on a video of a cat being pspspspsed at. This seemed to have caught Birdyâs attention though, as she quickly looked up before looking away.
âHmm, odd. Thereâs no way though right? No way in hell The Birdy would respond to being pspspsped at like a fucking cat! Ok well now I need to put it to the test and see for me myself.â Was what was running through her mind. She decided why not use the scientific method of basically fuck around and find out and see if Birdy actually was secretly part cat.
She waited a few more minutes, staring at her phone and sitting in silence before letting out a quiet âPspspspspspsâ and even rubbing her fingers together to see if sheâd get a bigger reaction.
She most definitely did. That reaction being Birdy snapping her heads towards Flatline, her eyes boring into the medics. âDid you need something?â
Flatline snapped out of their shock, genuinely surprised that Birdy looked over at her, let alone she responded! She quickly shook her head and stood up, shooting her a quick smile and nervously rubbing her neck
âOh no sorry bout that. I just was testing something is all. Iâm⊠Iâm just gonna go now.â She made a beeline for the door, accidentally slamming her shoulder into the doorframe and letting out a quiet âouchâ before continuing on their way, making her way past Ghost.
Birdy just stared at the doorframe, shrugging at the look Ghost gave her.
Out in the, Flatline was surprisingly happy with herself, despite having ran into a damn doorframe. âHoly shit I cant believe that actually worked.â She was internally cheering even though Birdy probably now thought she was weird. Or at least weirder. But Flatline didnât give shit, she would definitely do it again. Just not anytime soon. Next time though, she planned to get proof. Was it possible to get other members of the 141 to respond to similar noises? Who knows. But Flatline sure as hell was planning to find out.
#task force 141#cod oc#cod 141#pspspspspspspsps#Ocs#Birdy is secretly part cat???#flatline is a fan of the scientific method#sheâs bored and tired and wants to have fun#can you blame her?#cod modern warfare#I had fun writing this lol
