I will say if you're learning chinese to read novels, it's a win win in some ways. To improve? You gotta read. What do you want to do? Read. Is there adequate interesting reading material just a literal glance in any direction? Oh wow you bet. You can't even fathom how many good novels await you in whatever genres you're looking for, many of which will be free and accessible online, with audio books too!
#rant#just like. 镇魂 ALONE is 50+ hours of chinese reading#joy of life or evernight or the kings avatar??? probably 500 hours of reading material ALONE#or listening material if you do the audiobook#same for dmbj. its easily 500 or more hours of study content#and if you need like 2400 ish hours of study to become B2? well.#thats like 5 novels/novel series if you pick big novels#and in chinese its still only like maybe 20 or less novels if you pick the more normal size 300k word webnovels#if you made your goal to read say 30 chinese novels. even if you made it hard for yourselr and did NO#prestudy and just brute force read and looked stuff up? by 30 books especially if you used text and audiobooks? youd be REALLY well off#in terms of how well you learned chinese for comprehension

make me your villain - collab
If you’ve ever wondered how the story might have ended differently if the villain got the girl, you’ve come to the right place.
Everyone loves a bit of a morally grey villain who is only good for that one particular person. The kind that would watch the world burn for you and never think twice about it. The kind that are deadly but also deadly hot.
In this collab you’ll find an array of retold stories with that villainous twist. Please look forward to them in the coming months, as there’s no particular posting time.
TBA
Title: The Price Written by: @daechwitatamic Genre: Snow White and the Huntsman!au, angst, smut, unhappy ending Pairing: Snow White!Yoongi x Hunts(wo)man!reader Summary: The Queen is responsible for everything you can claim: your home, your job, your freedom. You live without laying claim to anything else, lest the Queen leverage more pieces of you in exchange for her grace. But freedom isn’t free, and the Queen has just named her price: the young blacksmith, Min Yoongi.
Title: The Surface Written by: @moni-logues Pairing: prince merman!Hoseok x sea witch!reader Genre: fairytale AU/The Little Mermaid AU, angst, smut Summary: Prince Hoseok has only ever wanted one thing: to experience life on the Surface. You have only ever wanted Prince Hoseok. When he comes to you, desperate, claiming you are the only one who can help him, you decide to play along. You'll help him achieve his dream and maybe you'll satisfy your own dream, too.
Title: Red Written by: @sailoryooons Pairing: Werewolf!Namjoon x f. reader Genre: Supernatural, thriller, smut Summary: For as long as you can remember, your village has been relatively normal. But when people begin to turn up dead right after a group of newcomers arrive, pieces of your past start to fall into place, and something feels familiar - particularly the quiet man who can't take his eyes off of you.
Title: A Good Day To Die Written by: @here4kpopfics Pairing: Jimin x reader Genre: Robin Hood!au, enemies to lovers, smut, violence, royal shenanigans. Summary: With a royal wedding looming around the corner, everyone is running around in circles to make sure everything goes according to plan. Three days before the wedding, however, the princess is kidnapped by the infamous outlaw, Park Jimin. Or was she?
Title: Serpent & Nightingale Written by: @caelesjjk Pairing: Captain Hook!Taehyung x f. reader (grown version of Wendy) Genre: Peter Pan AU, Fairytale AU, Villain gets the girl, angst, smut Summary: You needed to escape him. You needed to get as far away as you could so he could never bring you back. So you make a deal with the pirate you’ve been told to loathe most of your life. The pirate that you read stories to when you were a child when had no other way to save him. The pirate who insists you seal your deal with a kiss in order to board the Jolly Roger and join him in Evernight, the island he calls home.
Title: Golden Shackles Written by: @gimmethatagustd Pairing: sorcerer!jungkook x genie!(f)reader Genre: Aladdin AU, fantasy, royalty, angst, smut Summary: For thousands of years, you’ve been forced to grant the wishes of greedy men who want nothing but power.

You Don't Need an Agent! Publishers That Accept Unsolicited Submissions
I see a few people sayin that you definitely need an agent to get published traditionally. Guess what? That's not remotely true. While an agent can be a very useful tool in finding and negotiating with publishers, going without is not as large of a hurdle as people might make it out to be!
Below is a list of some of the traditional publishers that offer reading periods for agent-less manuscripts. There might be more! Try looking for yourself - I promise it's not that scary!
Albert Whitman & Company: for picture books, middle-grade, and young adult fiction
Hydra (Part of Random House): for mainly LitRPG
Kensington Publishing: for a range of fiction and nonfiction
NCM Publishing: for all genres of fiction (YA included) and nonfiction
Pants of Fire Press: for middle-grade, YA, and adult fiction
Tin House Books: very limited submission period, but a good avenue for fiction, literary fiction, and poetry written by underrepresented communities
Quirk Fiction: offers odd-genre rep for represented and unagented authors. Unsolicited submissions inbox is closed at the moment but this is the page that'll update when it's open, and they produced some pretty big books so I'd keep an eye on this
Persea Books: for lit fiction, creative nonfiction, YA novels, and books focusing on contemporary issues
Baen: considered one of the best known publishers of sci-fi and fantasy. They don't need a history of publication.
Chicago Review Press: only accepting nonfiction at the moment, but maybe someone here writes nonfiction
Acre: for poetry, fiction and nonfiction. Special interest in underrepresented authors. Submission period just passed but for next year!
Coffeehouse Press: for lit fiction, nonfiction, poetry and translation. Reading period closed at time of posting, but keep an eye out
Ig: for queries on literary fiction and political/cultural nonfiction
Schaffner Press: for lit fiction, historical/crime fiction, or short fiction collections (cool)
Feminist Press: for international lit, hybrid memoirs, sci-fi and fantasy fiction especially from BIPOC, queer and trans voices
Evernight Publishing: for erotica. Royalties seem good and their response time is solid
Felony & Mayhem: for literary mystery fiction. Not currently looking for new work, but check back later
This is all what I could find in an hour. And it's not even everything, because I sifted out the expired links, the repeat genres (there are a lot of options for YA and children's authors), and I didn't even include a majority of smaller indie pubs where you can really do that weird shit.
A lot of them want you to query, but that's easy stuff once you figure it out. Lots of guides, and some even say how they want you to do it for them.
Not submitting to a Big 5 Trad Pub House does not make you any less of a writer. If you choose to work with any publishing house it can take a fair bit of weight off your shoulders in terms of design and distribution. You don't have to do it - I'm not - but if that's the way you want to go it's very, very, very possible.
Have a weirder manuscript that you don't think fits? Here's a list of 50 Indie Publishers looking for more experimental works to showcase and sell!
If Random House won't take your work - guess what? Maybe you're too cool for Random House.

Cinder: (Swings door open quickly ignoring the note.) My Queen! Those brats have broke into the castle we must stop!
(Pauses while looking at the scene)
Jaune: (His head on Weiss's lap as she runs her fingers though his hair) Alyx was a brat but she still was like family she didn't deserve what that cat did.
Salem: I understand life is usually cruel. Now tell me more about this Curious Cat.
Cinder: WTF?!?
Cinder stalked through the halls and corridors of EverNight Castle. Her twin obsidian blades ready to strike down the intruders... if she could find them. Normally she would have zeroed in on the sounds of conflict and combat, but there was none. The grimm she passed, when she did come across them were just wandering about aimlessly, that was if they weren't sitting or laying down.
So without the sounds of a fierce pitched battle to guide her, Cinder was forced to actually search for the interlopers... who she knew was team RWBY and their friends.
Cinder: This is RIDICULOUS! I must ask my queen for help, to locate these brats.
Cinder made a turn at the next corner and stomped her way toward the throne room. She emerged from one of the side halls into the main corridor and turned towards her destination. Five minutes later she stood there before the large double doors... in total shock.
Cinder: I...
A Beowulf, dressed in a tasteful skirt and blouse ensemble, matched with a set of sensible heels, and topped off with a pearl necklace, and a pair of wire rim glasses... stood before the doors baring her entry.
Cinder: I...
The Beowulf pointed to a sign near the door, well a set of signs in fact. It took ever ounce of her will power to draw her eyes off the figure before her, and look at the signs.
(1) If the doors are closed there is either a meeting or session in progress. Unless it is an EMERGENCY no admittance.
(2) Sessions are by appointment ONLY.
(3) This is a ZERO TOLERANCE work place. Anyone causing a disturbance, or harassing staff will be asked to leave. Failure to do so will cause the authorities to be summoned.
(4) I am the boss, but my secretary is in charge. If she says NO then it's NO. There are no exceptions.
Cinder: Secretary?
The Beowulf nodded its head and using a metal ruler tapped the desk name plate.
Cinder: Grendelsa Grimmsald, Executive Assistant to Doctor Salem Salem?
The Beowulf who Cinder now knew was named Grendelsa nodded.
Cinder: But, I...
Grendelsa: *Grunt like growl*
Cinder: I know I don't have an appointment, but this is an emergency! The castle is under attack! I must speak to Queen...
Grendelsa: *Growl like grunt*
Cinder: I mean Doctor Salem.
Grendelsa pointed to a set of rather comfy looking waiting room chairs, and Cinder knew instantly she had no choice. So she sat down, and after a few seconds wiggled her butt into the plush cushioning getting more comfortable.
Cinder dozed off, and awoke with a start at the sound of the door opening.
Salem: I understand it is quiet the commute so I will have Grendelsa arrange for some accommodations for you, as in my opinion there is a need to have a few more sessions over the next week before I feel confident that we can space them out further. Is that acceptable Ms Schnee? Mr Arc?
Weiss: More than. Thank you for your hospitality, and all your help.
Cinder shot to her feet, her eyes wide in shock. Salem, her queen. Malevolent Evil Incarnate was in a black pant suit, wearing glasses and SHAKING HANDS with the SCHNEE who was holding the hand of the blond wanna-be knight from Beacon!
Jaune: I still don't...
Salem: It's alright Mr Arc. These things take time, and we progress at the pace that you set. There is no rushing this. Your mental health is very important, and with Ms Schnee's support and my assistance we will help you find resolutions.
Weiss: Can we give it a couple more sessions Jaune? I really do think this is good for you, me and us.
Jaune: Okay. I'll try a few more times.
Salem: Excellent. Grendelsa will make all the...
Cinder: WHAT THE FUCK IT THIS!!!!
Salem: Ms Fall. Those types of outbursts are not acceptable!
Cinder: WHAT THE FUCK, SALEM? THEY'RE FROM BEACON! THEY'RE YOUR ENEMIES!
Salem: Lower your voice or you will be escorted out.
Cinder: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!? ARE YOU GIVING THEM THERAPY???
Salem: You were warned Ms Fall. Ms Grimmslad if you please...
/==/
Twenty minutes later Cinder found herself sitting outside of the main gate of EverNight Castle, right next to Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, and Blake Belladonna.
Ruby: You get kicked out too?
Cinder: ...

More ref sheets, the citizens of Radiant Garden, of course not all! Like Ienzo is missing oops (Note these are very up to date with Part II Act II, which is about to end with the next chapter. And then Act III starts.)
Brooke is Vi's and Davis' mother and Taro is brought there by y. Xehanort.
+ Nort alts (Xemnas and Xeh ditching the Org. coats hooray! (They also become besties with A2 trust!!!!!))
__
Quick answers/ explainsies! (WK novel spoilers obvs!!!)
Since Sora is a Replica copy here, he actively befriends the Organization Somebodies.
The Evernight Faction is Maleficent's troup, miss ma'am Salem invited her in! Their ship name is witchcottage!! Tyrian is free to third-wheel!!! Lauriam got a strange illness (see his arm, spoiler spoiler Xemnas and Azal have it too) and Elrena, Emil and Luxord switch sides to get him help. Demyx counts himself in because he wants to.
Brooke had to join because Maleficent sniped Vi baaad (if you seen Vi's ref sheet, yeah the shoulder was Mal with that white glove thingy that has this tick Grimm) Xemnas lost his arm seconds after that and that's why they also switch. The Norts are Replicas but Xems can't get into a new one.
Xeh scooped Taro up in San Fransokyo when he was going places with Luxord. He had to drop pupper off at Vi's because Ansem said so. Taro is also the groundwork for Xeh starting to trust Viola.
Braig is with them because Luxu still needs No Name, remember OMX is alive so...
#projectworldkeeper#multifandom#is tagging rwby important because salem tyrian and beacon mention?????????????????#kingdom hearts#nier automata#character design#joisartoc#character sheet#riku#kairi#braig#elrena#lauriam#character redesign#demyx#luxord#ansem seeker of darkness#young xehanort#xemnas#xemnas with a beard

Jaune: **In the Evernight castle, tied up in chair** You honestly think I'll talk? I'm already messed up in the head so psychological torture won't work, my aura basically makes me a tank and I get more joy out of denying you anything.
Cinder: **sitting across from him** Oh, you'll talk, but for now we wait for Salem.
**Salem walks into the room and wearing... glasses? With a clipboard in hand?**
Salem: Ah, I see we're ready to begin your first session. **Sits on chair**
Jaune: Session? What kind of session? The hell are you talking about?
Cinder: Wow. You're going to act like it's not a big deal? You worthless thankless ingrate! I can't believe i-!
Salem: Alright, let's calm it down. Take a deep breath... *inhales through nose* Good. Now Cinder, let's address the issue.
Cinder: The issue? The issue is that I spend days, weeks, months devising my nefarious plans, kill the people whose deaths would have the most psychological impact on him and what does he do? He goes and gets himself a new archnemesis !
Jaune: New archnemesis? What the fuck are you-
Salem: Mr. Arc, please, this is Cinder's turn. Now, how did that make you feel, Cinder?
Cinder: ...It made me feel hurt. It made me feel inadequate. Like I'm not bad enough, especially when I get replaced by some fairy tale cat.
Jaune: ...You gotta be fucking kidding me. The Curious Cat? That is what this is all about?!
Cinder: Hmph, seems like you still remember his name.
Jaune: I spent 20 years being mentally battered by that bastard cat, of course I'm gonna remember his fucking name!
Cinder: Oh? Only mentally? I attack you mentally, also emotionally and physically yet he just has to gaslight you a bit and he's your new archnemesis?! See? This is what I'm talking about!
Jaune: We literally fought one another as soon as we saw each other. You saw Ruby first and headed straight for me. It was literally on sight.
Cinder: Yeah, well, I bet you would have fought the Cat instead if he were there!
Jaune: Oh, for fu-
Salem: Alright , let's not get too off topic. Jaune, tell us: How was it that the Curious Cat became a person of intimate hatred in your eyes?
Jaune: I spent years in the Ever After and that little shit pretended to be my friend and guide, but in reality only wanted me for my body. He had me tell him my story and tried to gaslight me into remembering events and people differently to make me lose my mind. It got worse after Alyx-
Cinder: Oh, so now there's another girl involved?!
Salem: Cinder, please, this is Jaune's turn.
Cinder: But all that cat did was practically inconvenience Jaune compared to what I did to him!
Jaune: You know, Cardin wasn't like this when you came along.
Cinder: Oh! ...So that's what this is now, huh?
Salem: Now, Cinder. Nobody is saying you aren't Jaune's archnemesis anymore.
Cinder: No! I want to hear it from him!
Jaune:...

@etruatcaelum liked for a starter!
There were surprisingly few things for a man not interested in constant combat to do around Evernight. Well, for a given value of 'few' he supposed. For Arthur's personal tastes, it was occasionally more of a pain to do much more than his most lazy pursuits. Reading and coding were always excellent timekillers of course, but...well.
Today at least, it was the forge that beckoned him.
For a man as - admittedly - slender and cerebral as Arthur was, it was perhaps some surprise that he didn't just code or build some device to do such things for him when the itch got under his skin to make something, but of course, therein lay the catch: one could import or build whatever was desired, of course, but somewhere down the line it had to be made. And who knew better than he the things he needed, in the exact specifications?
Besides, when one got right down to it, there was something to be said for there being some satisfaction in the act of swinging a hammer at glowing red metal until it took the form that was desired. If absolutely nothing else? It was cathartic as hell.
Sweat soaked the scientist's loose shirt even as a soft tone interrupted the steady rhythm of his hammer to the bright orange slab of metal, and he half-turned to his worktable. His scroll buzzed again, and with a groan Arthur wiped the sweat from his eyes and paced over irritably.
Anyone at Evernight was likely well aware of his location and would have just poked their head in if they needed him - though, perhaps Salem might use some other method. No, the only person he could think of who might need him and would be using his scroll, was Cinder. Or, he supposed, one of the whelps that followed her about.
He opened it just before a fourth buzz might have sounded...and blinked. More out of sheer surprise than expecting it to work, he flicked the device shut, waited a moment...then opened it again. Indeed, the same banner notification from on of his surveillance programs flashed across the screen.
A low laugh started to slip out of his raw, parched throat, even as he cursed softly.
Whatever Cinder had done in Vale...he was not getting blamed for them having no signal now. His little virus was a masterpiece of course, truly a marvel of his own creation, but it didn't even have the means to bring down communications like that, let alone- stars above, had she somehow gotten one of the towers destroyed? The notification certainly seemed to think so, and he'd coded that program himself. The program could be faulty, he supposed, but-
How, by the moon and stars, was he supposed to do half his work without access to anything or anyone beyond their little localized pocket? Ugh...a problem for later. The notification had apparently been going off longer than he thought, too, because the timestamp was almost half an hour ago.
He barely registered the sound of the forge/workshop's door being opened, but he snapped his scroll shut and set it aside before moving back to his current project. It was only when he glanced up that he hummed, moving to put the cooling metal back in the sweltering heat of his forge.
"And what can I do for you? I doubt you came all the way here to see me smithing." Though, he supposed, weirder things had happened. Not even around Evernight, he'd...seen a lot of weird things in life.
#(There is no way on god's green earth that I can write this long every time but Arthur had a Vibe)#(Also it is almost 90F in my bedroom so I think I hit a zone and went for it)#(But I can also edit this if you'd prefer dear I've just been playing around with this headcanon awhile)#(Cinder broke the phone network and Arthur is already salty about it)#etruatcaelum#etruatcaelum (Salem)#v: behind emerald eyes#t: Scrolling for Signal (etruatcaelum)#ic: not fond of failure (watts)

Ruby’s fingers tapped against the crown she held in her lap, her heart racing as she stayed quiet in the airship. Her eyes stayed on her scroll as she watched a few more calls from her teammates go unanswered from her. As her scroll finally went quiet, she turned it off and took a few breaths to try to steady her heart.
“Not how you thought it was going to be, was it?” Cinder asked.
“I uh… I thought it’d be easier.”
“To betray everyone that trusts you?”
“To follow what I think is truth.” Ruby let out a soft sigh and leaned back in her seat, fingers gripping around the crown. “I-I knew I was going to have to tell them eventually, but I thought… I thought I had more time. I could work both sides, make sure we know what Ozpin is planning so we can keep out of trouble and make sure no one would get hurt. But now Yang knows and I had to fight her… I dont want to fight the rest of my friends as well.”
Cinder nodded and put the airship on autopilot for a moment. “I wish I could tell you it’d get easier, but it wont.”
Ruby nodded and looked out the window to watch the world around them pass by. She was no stranger to watching everything pass by below, but it felt different than it had before. No patching up after a mission completed, no terrible jokes being made to laugh at, no complaints about the cooking or not being prepared for some unforeseen issue… just quiet. Even Cinder seemed more reserved than normal instead of flirting like she had on the way to Beacon.
Finally, Cinder spoke. “Salem probably knows your plan didnt go quite as unnoticed as you said it would.”
Ruby nodded. “What do you think she’ll do to me?”
“I’m not sure. Probably make an example of you, but since we do have the crown, I’m sure you’ll get off easier than if we didnt have it.”
“Yeah…” Ruby said in half agreement. She glanced down at the crown as her fingers ran over it once more, the desire to put it on becoming stronger the longer she held it, almost as if it was begging for her to wear it. Begging to show her the choices that lay in her future as a soft voice whispered in her ear.
“*Wear me.*”
Ruby felt Cinder’s hand on her arm, not aware that she had already started to move the relic to her head. Her arms shook as she lowered the crown back to her lap. “S-should I… not wear it?”
Cinder shook her head. “Not until after Salem has. Its our job to deliver the relics to her, not use them before her.”
Ruby nodded and put the relic into her pack as she watched the ocean turn to land as they approached Evernight Castle. No matter how many times she saw the barren, grimm infested lands, it always made her heart race in fear. Watching the grimm down below climb out of the grimm pools and make their way towards the castle… it was unnerving.
“Just make sure you hand the relic to her,” Cinder said as she brought the airship down to land.
Ruby took one final deep breath as she felt the airship land, her stomach almost in knots as she stood up. The air around her tasted stale as she made her way into the castle and towards the throne room where Salem sat. Her fingers fumbled with her pack with each step as she struggled to get the relic out.
She followed Cinder into the throne room,staying behind her and following her lead just as she normally would. Once she saw Cinder stop, she dropped to her own knee, relic in hand and near her chest as she waited to be spoken to. And yet, the world around her seemed to be quiet as she heard the faint whispering in her head once more. Ruby’s eyes went from watching Salem down to the crown until she felt her fingers leave it as it was pulled away.
“You both have done well,” Salem said as she held the relic in her hands. “And for that, you deserve a gift.”
Ruby looked up at Salem, confused as to what she meant until she felt a sting on the back of her neck as Salem placed a hand on her shoulder. Her muscles clenched as she felt something crawl under her skin. Sweat dripped down her forehead as her body felt like it was heating up. And then… the pain and heat were gone.
Salem pulled her hand away and smiled. “This will make sure you’re able to succeed with claiming the next maiden’s power to secure the next relic. But for now, rest. I’ll let you know when you’re needed again.”
Ruby nodded as she stood up, legs shaking under her weight as she nearly collapsed, only to be caught by Cinder.
“Dont worry, I’ve got you,” Cinder said.
Ruby sighed and put her arm around Cinder to keep herself balanced. “I-I guess I’m more tired than I thought.”
“Its fine. We’ll go to bed and rest. And tomorrow we’ll make sure you’re ready to fight your friends if we run into them again.”
Ruby looked away as she felt her heart sink. Her friends, her teammates… she was sure they’d understand reason if she could get just a moment to talk to them, to help them see things from her point of view. And yet, she was also certain that they would become her enemies whether they understood or not.

A wizard that uses a coat rack as her magic staff. She just points it at you and your coat or jacket just violently flies off your body and hang on the coat rack.
Some people think it’s too niche, but she lives in the Evernight Tundra, so not having a coat can kill people there in a matter of minutes.

do not go gentle into that good night
the fic belonging to what I'm calling evernight au, what is basically a fantasy apocalypse au of dead poets society
currently undrafted but I'm working on a plan for it and I'm quite excited so we'll see where it goes (please forgive me if it takes a while or never gets done but I thought I'd share it anyway)
here's a draft of the summary:
It is winter. It has been winter for seventeen years. It will be winter until the end of time.
But Neil can stop it. If he does everything right, if he holds his head up when he walks to the slaughter, no one else has to die. All he has to do is let go, and he can bring spring back to Welton.
Todd chooses not to let him go.
(in which the winter has devoured welton whole, and neil perry was always born to die.)
other stuff that I know is almost definitely in the fic:
anderperry
major character death
fluff and angst
probably a long fic
(also if anyone's interested in being a beta reader for this fic, please send me an ask off-anon/dm me, I would love to talk about Them with others lmao)
#evernight au#dead poets society#neil perry#todd anderson#anderperry#ignore my misleading post about having no ideas#because i got this one

Weiss: Ruby! Welcome home! I baked you cookies!
Ruby: I could smell them form outside! I can't wait to ... I know that tone. What happened?
Weiss: What! Nothing Happened!
Ruby: ... you smell like lubricant, polish, metal shavings, and welding torches. What happened in the workshop?
Weiss: ... Well. Ruby, my darling, wonderful, beautiful love of my life, whom I'm willing to kill and die for ... I maybe, PERHAPS ... Knocked paint onto Crescent Rose's spare pieces ...
Ruby: ... Okay?
Weiss: That's it? Okay? No irritation, no anger? Just okay?
Ruby: Weiss, you made an honest, simple mistake, and, to be honest, I should've put those in a better place, or sealed the paint properly. It's nothing I can't fix or replace.
Weiss: I ... Thank you Ruby.
Weiss: Also I didn't bake the cookies, I had Yang come over to bake them. Here.
Ruby: Well Thank you! *Chomp*
Ruby: ...
Weiss: Ruby?
Ruby: These aren't chocolate chip ...
Ruby: THESE ARE OATMEAL RAISIN!
Ruby: TO EVERNIGHT WITH THEM! I'M OFF TO KILL THAT BETRAYING SISTER OF MINE! FARE THE WELL, LOVELY MAIDEN! (She leaves quickly)
Weiss: (Swooning) She called me a lovely Maiden!

okay so because I am once again in my Summer Rose feelings: thinking about why, as some people have pointed out, Summer’s still reading “The Girl Who Fell Through the World” after both her kids have fallen asleep
and like it’s pretty easy to get that she legit really loves reading her daughters bedtime stories
especially since, because she was the one going out on missions while Tai had a job closer to home, she probably got less of a chance to do it and wanted to enjoy every moment she had with them
hell, maybe the story is her own favorite fairy tale, and she likes reading it for its own sake, too
however, there’s an additional, funnier reason
Yang is 100% knocked out here
full honk shoo honk shoo mode
but Ruby?
THAT CHILD IS NOT SLEEPING. she is LISTENING. she is WAITING. if Summer tries to leave before the story’s over she will be sitting bolt upright, wide awake, in 0.05 seconds like, “Hey! Why didn’t you finish?”
Yang, now awake as well: “yeah Mom that’s cheating”
also, consider
this was the last night they were together as a family before Summer went off on her mission to Evernight, and Ruby’s final memory of Summer is a drowsy, shadowy glimpse of her mom in the doorway of her bedroom as she leaves for the last time

1... 2...
Beacon had fallen, despite the desperate actions of her defenders. The death toll was horrendous, especially among the civilian population that had been in attendance for the tournament. Many of the students and soldiers that had stepping up to do their duty had also fallen to the onslaught of grimm... Jaune was one of those number.
Pyrrha was in Ansel with Nora and Ren. They had come to Jaune's hometown to return his body and possessions. As she hobbled about on her crutches... she was wracked with guilty and sorrow. Ruby had arrived in time to save her... but no one had been able to save Jaune.
No one was sure what happened to the rocket locker she had forced him into. Either it malfunctioned or had some mid air collision with the innumerable grimm that had filled the skies. But that was a moot point at this stage. Jaune had drowned. The locker that was meant to take him to safety, becoming a death trap when it fell into the river that meandered through the City of Vale.
The Arc family was broken with grief, and the normally open and welcoming family had closed in upon itself. Even more so with the return of Jaune's remains and affects. So Pyrrha, Ren and Nora found themselves wandering the fair sized hamlet looking for accommodations.
"Anyone else noticing how creepy it is that ever kid we pass is starting at Pyrrha?" Nora asked in a low voice.
"Most likely fans." Pyrrha muttered her voice dripping with regret.
"I don't think that's the case." Ren commented as he too had noticed the apathetic, and sometimes hostile looks the children, and only the children were giving the trio.
That brought Pyrrha out of her muddled and sorrow filled thoughts, to look about. Her teammates were right. Each and every child, was giving the trio similar looks. From children that looked no older that five or six, all the way to ones pushing at the cusp of adulthood. Their dead and glazed eyes following the trio's movements.
"I think we should get out of her, and back to patch, or Argus." Nora commented as she stepped closer to her teammates and friends.
"The earliest flight is in two..." Ren started to speak only to be cut off as a pair of young girls in summer dresses that had been skipping rope towards them suddenly stopped...
"1..." the first sung out in a toneless voice.
"2..." the second added in an equally disquieting voice.
"1... 2..." came a chorus of similar voices as a small gaggle to teens slowed their passing. Each head turning towards the trio.
"Ren? Pyr?" Nora asked with an obviously shaking voice.
"1... 2..." more children repeated the set of numbers. Their voices taking on a flat sing-song quality.
"Johnny, get back here!"
"Samantha where are you going?" came the shouts of parents whose children suddenly walked off, joining the gathering mob starting to surround the remains of team JNPR.
Ren, Nora and Pyrrha closed upon each other. Seeking support by close proximity with the others.
"1... 2... Jauney's coming for you..."
That simple phrase flatly sung out by the mass of children caused Pyrrha's breath to catch in her thorught.
"3... 4... better lock your door..."
Nora was completely creeped out. The words burrowing into her mind.
"5... 6... grave a crucifix..."
Ren struggled to us his semblance. Attempting to quell the rising feelings of trepidation and dismay.
"7... and... 8... gonna stay up late..."
Pyrrha gasped, losing her balance, as she stumbled backwards. Her crutches going out from under her. The appearance behind the gathers children of what she could only describe as a soddened figure clad in a sopping Pumpkin Pete hoodie, starling her.
"9... 10... never... sleep... again."
With those final words the children disbursed as silently as they had gathered.
/==/
In EverNight Keep Cinder was wandering the halls, looking for Emerald. She had need of her subordinate, and the green haired girl was nowhere to be found... until Cinder turned down the corridor towards their lodgings and found her standing alone in the center of the hall.
"Emerald?" Cinder croaked out in a voice that was nothing but a husky whisper.
Emerald's head was tilted and her dead, glassed over eyes stared froward, but at the mention of her name, she mechanically turned her gaze upon Cinder.
"1... 2... Jauney's coming for you..."
/===/
A/N I got inspired to do this snippet because of another twisted idea that just wouldn't leave my head/ Listened to this the enture time I wrote...

Hope you enjoyed.
