"Shhh, you're safe. I won't let go of you."

In the Small Moments AU 👀

I gotchu homie!

Oz sat curled up in the alley, murmuring softly to the crying baby in his arms. “Shhh, shhh, it’s ok. Shhh, I know, I know. I’m hungry too… It’ll be ok….” It had been weeks like this… running, hiding, starving. Every spare dime went to getting food for Oscar, he should have gone back to the base, if only just to steal some coins. He curled around the boy, his own pains put to the wayside.  Hunger gnawed at his stomach, making it ache and growl. He knew it was worse for Oscar… Ozpin wasn’t as used to hunger as he had been, but he could manage. Oscar was just a baby, he hadn’t experienced anything yet… Anything except being left with the world's worst possible caretaker.

He knew he was doing it all wrong… He never expected it to be like this. He thought he’d raise Oscar with… with her, up on their empire, teaching him everything they know, every need met. But no… no she died and he just had to have a big spiritual moment of “this is bad and Oscar deserves better.” WELL THIS DIDN’T SEEM BETTER DID IT!?

As Oscar wailed louder, he shushed him genrly, rocking him and wishing he’d just stop crying… “I’m sorry, I know my love, shhh, please settle down…” “Hello?” Oz’s head snapped up, gripping his cane and Oscar tightly. “Hello?” “Wh-who’s there?” he replied warily.

He found himself dumbfounded when a horribly familiar, yet unfamiliar, face came into view. Golden ringlet curls, bright green eyes, but now… she was a woman, and not an awkward teen. She looked incredible really, her white blouse, silk, simple and elegant, a long dark purple skirt, matching the dark purple shawl, appearing to resemble a leaf in its pattering, around her shoulders. Her black shoes appeared to be real leather, and her white gloves, silk like her shirt. She’d clearly done well for herself. Ozpin always knew she would, she was the smartest of their little ragtag group growing up.

“Glynda?” he asked in amazement. “Is that really you?”

“Do I…” her eyes narrowed behind her horned glasses, and she all at once gasped, eyes lighting up with recognition. “Ozpin? Is… is that really you?”

“In the flesh.” he smiled softly, “I… I don’t suppose I can cash in that favor from when I took the blame for stealing Ozma’s candy, even though you did it, right?” Glynda’s eyes shone with emotion, Oz looked away. “Oh Endu… Ozpin I… O-of course you can, come on. My place isn’t far, I can get you two something to eat.”

Ozpin stood slowly, wincing as his barely healed wounds were pulled and a few reopened. “Thank you Glynda… I’m mostly worried about him though.”

She gave him a small, but meaningful smile. “I have a formula at home, don’t worry.”

“Do you…?” he ventured curiously.

She just laughed, “Oh Aldila no! I just help the parents who need help feeding their babies, like you.”

He nodded, smiling gratefully. “Thank you Glynda… You’re truly sent by Endu.”

Glynda scoffed, leading him down the street. “Think nothing of it. I only ask that you tell me one thing.”

He had a feeling he knew what it was. “And what’s that?”

She sighed, taking his arms in her, as though to keep him from running away. Again. “You have to tell me where you’ve been for the last 10 years, Ozpin.”

He nodded slowly, looking at Oscar and gently kissing his forehead. “It’s… a very long story. And it’s not exactly a happy one.”

“Try me.” she smiled warmly. It was a smile that gave Ozpin some hope, hope that maybe, just maybe, his life was finally changing for the better.

Emma's Pantheon fic list (literally everything I'm working on)

COMPLETE

• The Nightbus

Canon-Compliant one-shot which takes place within the ending of s2 ep 3, elaborating on Caspian's POV of their first kiss.

• it's about who you leave behind

One-shot, Canon-Compliant, angsty fic about Maddie and Dave and grief, taking place 16 years into the 20 year timeskip, between season 2 ep 6 and ep 7.

• Iterations

XL one-shot, technically Canon Compliant? Told from the POV of Maddie within the Dyson sphere, as she observes three different simulations where things turn out different but not necessarily better: one where David Kim doesn't get cancer, one where MIST doesn't save them in the data center, and one where she backs up and reboots Caspian after his death. Tragedy-heavy. 15,000 words approx. Introductory piece to TMoB.

IN PROGRESS

• The Miracle of Backups (ONGOING)

Longfic diving fully into that simulation AU in which Maddie makes a backup of Caspian before his fight without telling him, then reboots him after his death. Covers their relationship throughout the following 20 years, all the highs and lows of love and tragedy and the conflicts between their two worlds. My outlines currently estimate 50 chapters and roughly 150,000 word count at completion.

• No Sleep Till London: collection of missing-scene Maddspian ficlets taking place between s2 ep 3 and 4, within those missing one to two weeks between DC and London. Pure mutual-pining fluff basically. Kinda a sequel to The Nightbus?

• shorter, angsty canon-compliant multichapter thing taking place during Caspian's season 1 homeless arc. Kinda a character study?

FUTURE IDEAS

• alt version of the first half of s2 ep8, in which Caspian DOES get to talk to Dave before everything goes to hell

• something obscenely angsty about Maddie visiting the graves of her loved ones before she uploaded

I'll update this post as things evolve. I just wanted a reference space for my plans, because I've literally only talked to one friend about it

Additional thought on dumb OP god and goddesses AU/fic prompt (Link here) now with Shuggy.

Sun God Luffy deciding I wanna go be a pirate because that's what Shanks did. Shanks being god of kings or heroes or something. He went to Gol D Rogers ship to watch him and then met Buggy and ended up falling head over heels.

The entire pantheon have been trying to get Shanks to come back for years but he's just pining or moping over the fucking clown.

Luffy: Shanks became a pirate he's the coolest.

Crocodile/Dragon:*watching Shanks sob because the clown won't return his calls*

Bonus: Rouge being a goddess to, she went down to get Shanks back and ended up falling for Roger.

This is why they decided NO MORE GOING TO EARTH SERIOUSLY! Shanks is a pining mess and Rouge has been sad for years over her mortal dying. (And Mihawk is so tired of her trying to sneak into the underworld )

The world government are trying to figure out where Rogers kid is and why they can't find him, it's because he's a half god and is chilling with divine pantheon with Rouge.

My Danganronpa AU Masterlist

Because I realized I need some organization on my blog, lol.

First, my actual fanfiction is mostly on AO3; these will be just Tumblr stuff. Feel free to send an ask about any of these!

AU's are listed in alphabetical order, and the bullet points for each AU are in the order I think would be most coherent for anyone unfamiliar with the AU. I had to limit the amount of posts I included as bullet points, because this post really tested the hyperlink limit at first, lol. In the future, I might make separate masterlists for some of the longer, more detailed AU's in this post, so I can just link the masterlists here. That'll give me room for more links, lol.

Also, check out my Danganronpa analysis tag for posts I've made or reblogged that I just think are interesting from a meta perspective.

If you enjoy something I've posted, please leave a reply/comment. It encourages me to write more.

[edgelordsstuff]

if you think about it, all religions and philosophies are basically elaborate fanfictions about the OG Creator and the creation story.

some are canon-compliant. some are wildly canon divergent. some are fix-it fics trying to rewrite “what went wrong.” some are fluff. some are angst. some are smut. some are full-blown parallel universes with different worldbuilding rules. some are written in metaphor and poetry (10k words of mystic pining). some are just meta commentary in disguise.

you’ve got -

canon-divergent AUs

crossover fics (syncretic religions mashing up pantheons like nobody’s business)

intense ship wars (wars have literally been fought over theology)

mystic fluff (divine love as the ultimate soulmate trope)

smutfic level intimacy (let’s not offend anyone but believe me there are some hardcore shit out there)

philosophy as fan essays debating the creator’s intent

crackfic cults that somehow still have a niche following

humanity’s been adding chapters to the same sprawling multi-universe fanfiction for thousands of years, and honestly? some of the worldbuilding is insane in the best way.

P.S just like the other canons, nobody is interested in this canon.

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

in the pantheon au, what are those fuckers the gods of

(well, they’re not exactly gods? they’re moreso…living stars meshed with primordial ooze. in ford’s case, he’s also got a bit of interdimensional rift in him. whoopsie)

we like to keep it vague, so instead we’ll just sorta hint at what they do and all that jazz

caryn - connected to nature and life, lives on the earth disguised as a human. got set up in a cozy little cottage where she grows and grinds her own coffee beans. keeps a stock of tea ingredients for the off chance ford visits. she hasn’t seen him since stan caused him to fall, but she’s certain he’s still alive, out there somewhere

filbrick - dead as hell, ain’t the god of shit

stan - connected to the skies, seas, and birds. he’s also a sort of messenger and wanderer

ford - connected to space, flying creatures, and plant life

mabel - connected to color, domestic animals, and comets

dipper - connected to mystery, woodland animals, and asterisms

fiddleford isn’t a deity, he’s a human ford meets down on earth a few years after his fall. fiddleford takes him in and they become fast friends. ford’s wings are such that he can easily disguise them as just a cloak, so that’s not too much of a worry (as long as he focuses enough to keep them down…). he’s scared to tell fiddleford what he is, he doesn’t want to lose the only positive connection he has. fiddleford, on the other hand, has already seen his wings without him knowing, so he’s well aware that ford isn’t human and has already processed and accepted it. he is a little frustrated that he can’t get ford to really talk about himself or his home or his family at all

soos is also a human, but he’s blessed with immensely good fortune because stan accidentally adopted him as his son

wendy comes from a family of ‘star hunters’. in other words, there used to be more ‘deities’, but uh. now only the pines are left (as far as they know, anyhow). she never really believed in all the stories her father told her (passed down from her grandparents) until she met, y’know, the ghost haunting the northwests. from there, she met soos, then stan, then the niblings, and uh. needless to say, she’s not much a fan of this whole ‘killing stars’ thing

(^ connected to coyotes, foxes, and redwoods)

pacifica is pretty much still the same as canon

(^ connected to stories and wishes)

The God of Rain & the Son of Zeus

Tags: m/m, fluff, pining, role swap AU

Main Pairing: Hermes/Percy

@polympians-event Prompt: role swap (god!Percy/demigod!Hermes)

This fic on FFNet | This fic on AO3

Summary: Role-swap AU where the demigods are gods and the gods of the second generation are the demigods who fought in the war. Hermes, one of the heroes of the Titan War, has a huge crush on Lord Perseus, god of rain and trainer at Camp Half-Blood. When the wars are over and Hermes starts working as a counselor at camp, he is determined to seduce the god.

--

The God of Rain & the Son of Zeus

Hermes Mercurius wasn't anyone special, really. He was the son of Maia Mercurius, an only child who always got into trouble in school and had caused his mom a lot of grievance over the years (even though she claimed it wasn't trouble and that she loved him). He was kind of a kleptomaniac and he dreamed of traveling the world one day, like probably most kids did, he thought.

All that changed when he was thrown into the word of Greek myths that weren't really myths and more like facts, apparently. Because he was no longer just the son of Maia Mercurius, he was suddenly the son of Zeus. He was claimed by the god, together with many other demigods, when the Titan War loomed, when the gods knew they would need an army. Suddenly, his life was all upside down. Instead of being just a trouble maker, he was the son of the king of gods.

He moved into the Zeus Cabin in Camp Half-Blood and for the first time in his life, he made real friends. A lot of them, the majority from his own cabin – which, shouldn't be a surprise, throughout history, Zeus had so many demigod off-springs, heroes of great wars. But here, in this summer camp, in this cramped cabin, where kids who understood. Understood what it was like to feel so different, and more specifically what it felt like to now suddenly be special, be the off-spring of the arguably most important god in their pantheon. The king of Olympus.

There were the twins, Artemis and Apollo, who were really cool and archers. Even though Artemis was kind of mean to most boys aside from her twin-brother, Hermes absolutely adored Apollo. The two quickly became thick as thieves. Dionysus and Hermes always got intro trouble together for breaking into the liquor cabinet in the Big House and effectively throwing the best parties at camp. He didn't get along as well with Ares, who always started fights and was kind of a bully, but he was their strongest fighter. However, while the best in raw strength, their cabin's – and, honestly, camp's – best strategist was Athena. She was a bit of a book-worm and not the most social, kind of only hanging out with their other half-brother Hephaestus, who was a great inventor.

What had thrown Hermes into this world was the theft of the Lightning Bolt of Zeus. His father went ahead and claimed all those children of his in order to find the thing, and to threaten his brothers. However, somehow, Hermes ended up blamed for it – he did have a history of kleptomania and his sticky-fingers were close to being a godly power.

Together with his half-sister Athena and the satyr Pan, Hermes was sent on a quest.

That was the first of many. The war stretched on for years and the demigods of Camp Half-Blood fought hard, lost many, and won in the end. The euphoria wasn't meant to last for too long, because only months later, they were thrown into the next big war, the Giant War. Once again, Hermes found himself in the middle of it all. Fighting for the gods.

His only real solace among it all, beyond his friends and half-siblings, was Lord Perseus.

Lord Perseus, Olympian god of rain, son of Poseidon, prince of the ocean, companion of Zeus' godly children Thalia, the thunder, and Jason, the lightning. The trio was known as the oncoming storm. They were powerful. And despite that power, Perseus had chosen to become a trainer at Camp Half-Blood, to help Chiron train young heroes.

It wasn't just that he was really powerful, he was also really, really pretty. With deep sea-green eyes that could turn dark like the sea during a storm when the god got angry, his windswept black hair and muscular body, sun-kissed skin and the pinkest, most kissable lips Hermes had ever seen. Now, like power and good looks weren't enough, he was also kind, patient and really funny.

Hermes has had a crush on Percy – which was what Lord Perseus preferred to be called, making camp a more informal place and making him feel much more like just one of them and not one of the most powerful gods out there – pretty much since he had first come to camp at age twelve.

It was impossible not to have a crush on Percy, in Hermes' humble opinion (Artemis liked to loudly disagree on him, but what did an ace lesbian know about hot guys. Hermes elected to ignore her). A lot of campers had crushes on Percy and Percy was already really sweet about it. Ignoring them whenever possible and gently discouraging them, but when a camper got a bit too enthusiastic – love confessions and actual flirting – Percy more firmly let them down. So far, Hermes had effectively avoided being firmly let down, he just pined from a far.

Things changed, again, after the wars. Well, a little later than that even. First, graduation (Athena had nearly bit his head off when he'd said he wanted to drop out of high school. So. He finished it instead of facing her wrath. His mom was very grateful to Athena, claiming her to be a 'good influence' on her son. Hermes would disagree on that). He heeded some time to himself, after the wars. So much had happened, they'd lost so much. Travel had always been something he dreamed of, so after graduation, Hermes made that dream come true. He went backpacking through Europe for a year, wanted to see Athens and Rome and all those other amazing places himself.

It had been good, it had helped him clear his head, get through some of the trauma the wars had left him with and it also let him focus what he wanted from life, now that the wars were over.

He wanted Percy. That was the most prominent thing he could think of. He wasn't a little kid anymore, not just physically but also with the things he had seen and done and been through with the war. He was more than capable of being Percy's equal. Now, how did one go about seducing a god? First step seemed to highlight the 'equal' part more. For that, he went to Chiron and asked if he could work at Camp Half-Blood as a trainer too, help younger demigods. That put him equal to Percy in their position within camp, plus, it let him show off his skills to the god. The best part of it was of course living in the Big House with Percy.

/break\

Percy laughed at Chiron's latest, less than sneaky attempt at cheating, before the centaur sighed and conceded that he had lost this round. As much as Percy loved being a trainer at camp, he really enjoyed those quiet evenings at the Big House. All of this was why he had come here for this job to begin with. Life as a god was quick to get to someone's head, the longer they lived, the more removed from the mortal world they felt. Percy didn't want to be removed from the mortal world, he didn't want to grow as indifferent as many of the older gods had. Here, making real connections with demigods, helping them on their way, it made him feel… human.

"You win. Again," Chiron sighed, sounding miserable. "I think I will call it a night as long as I still have some dignity left. Perhaps you could spend some time with… Hermes."

Percy blinked, looking up at Chiron. The weird pause before Hermes' name and the knowing smile on the wise centaur's face. A blush lit up Percy's cheek. Millennia old god, and he still blushed about a crush. Damn it all to Tartarus. It wasn't his fault! He could still remember adorable, tiny kid that had first arrived at Camp Half-Blood and in the blink of an eye, years passed, Hermes left and when he returned to work at camp, Percy didn't recognize him anymore. No longer that innocent, doe-eyed kid, but a battle-hardened young man and hero.

"Di—id I hear my name? Are you two gossiping about the new guy?"

Percy turned to look at Hermes with a hopelessly smitten smile. The hero of the wars had really proven himself, and he wasn't being arrogant about it ever. He was kind and very funny and sweet. Chiron cleared his throat, giving Percy a last, long look before heading upstairs.

"What was that about?" Hermes frowned, even as he took the now vacant seat. "Hi, Percy."

"Hi," Percy smiled amused. "And it was about nothing. Chiron being a sore loser, as always."

"So—o," Hermes tilted his head, looking Percy over. "If Chiron turned in early, that means I have you all to myself. For, I think, the first time since I started here."

Something about the phrasing made Percy feel flustered. All powerful god and a bit of flirting reduced him to a mess. He heaved a sigh, burying his face in his hands. What a disaster. Sometimes, he felt like Aphrodite had personally cursed him or something. Which just wasn't true, she actually adored him. Hermes made a curious noise, regaining Percy's attention.

"You… okay?" Hermes asked softly. "You seem weirdly distracted. Didn't know a god could get distracted, thought you could like be everywhere all at once."

Percy looked up, raising one eyebrow, not bothering to comment on that. Instead, he reached for the cards and started shuffling them, dealing a new round, for himself and Hermes.

"Did you ever wonder why I do this job?" Percy asked, voice gentle.

Hermes blinked curiously. "Actually, yeah, like, all the time."

"I wasn't born a god, I was born a demigod, a… long, long time ago, and I became a great hero and earned godhood," Percy picked up his cards. "And… the longer I stayed in the godly world, the more I felt myself… slipping into it. I didn't want to lose my humanity, so I chose to come here, to stay in contact with mortals and heroes. But that's why I'm here, because I once was like you, trained by Chiron, used by the gods to fight their battles."

Hermes remained quiet, looking at Percy with so much understanding and something else that Percy couldn't pinpoint. "Did you wonder why I started working here…?"

"To… help the younger generation?" Percy guessed, a little thrown by the question.

"Because I am madly, stupidly, irredeemably in love with you and wanted to prove myself to you."

Percy blinked, and then he blinked some more. "Oh. Uhm. Okay. Huh."

Hermes bit his lips. "So I made a god speechless, that's gotta be worth something."

Percy huffed out a laugh and reached out, practically throwing himself at Hermes as he kissed the hero enthusiastically. Outside, the sound of rain hitting the windows increased more and more the longer their kiss went on. Hermes' arms wrapped around his waist, pulling him onto the demigod's lap. The rain-sound from outside was near deafening, but it was calming to Percy.

"So—o, I take it my excellent seduction skills worked, huh."

His laughter was a near giggle when Percy rested his forehead against Hermes' shoulder. Hermes was unlike any other hero Percy had met over the years. He was a little trickster, a cunning thief, cheated at cards and always made Percy laugh. A scoundrel, in his own right, but so charming.

"I love you," Percy whispered, kissing Hermes' temple. "I love you."

and also has the shack gained any anomalous properties??

when someone lost or down on their luck wanders in the forest for long enough, the shack will find its way to them. blubs, durland and demons like bill can’t seem to ever find it, though.

zhongven and zhongscara for the ship bingo (guess who this is 😏

i see you 👁️

ah, zhongscara...

for me, it started with mine and a friend's determination to have our faves kiss zhongli, but i only got further enabled when someone else pointed out parallels i didn't even see initially. i'm proud to be one of the 13 people who ships it 😁

though, to be honest, i really prefer them in a non-romantic context. in my eyes, they're friends with a compatible worldview and REALLY REALLY compatible kinks. scara would never admit this to his face but he sees zhongli as one of the precious few people in the world competent enough to dom him. meanwhile, on zhongli's side, he enjoys very much how scara lets him do what he does best, to the fullest; most people wouldn't be able to handle it, after all.

i think romance is the one major thing they disagree on. scara with his trust issues cannot COMPREHEND how zhongli is still willing to put his whole heart into loving someone even after getting hurt multiple times in the past.

now... you knew this was coming.

zhongven my BELOVED!!! they've been happily married for 2,000 years. they have an angsty on-again/off-again open relationship thing but neither of them thinks it's enough and also they get jealous. they've been mutually pining for millennia to the point that there is plentiful evidence of how down bad they are for each other in both their countries' mythology/folklore/traditions/ancient artifacts/archaeological sites but they've never once actually admitted they're in love with one another. as gods, they can't love as humans do and as divine manifestations of their elements and ideals, they're natural opposites locked in an eternal stalemate of courtship; can't tie down the wind, can't whisk away the earth. they've divorced at least 300 times. they're bitter exes and ei is the only one left alive who can tell you all about it (she will not).

unlike other ships i've been obsessed with in the past, it's hard for me to remove zhongven from their canon context, or at the very least a context where they are still divine/immortals. the divine opposites thing is just so key to me—they way they shouldn't get along, they shouldn't understand each other, but nonetheless they do. also, exploring edge cases of locality-specific or occupation-specific dual worship that occurs when morax's and barbatos' domains meet. like, how ancient northern liyuens knew to scatter dandelion seeds along with their prayers to make earthquakes during the spring and summer go away because it was probably the geo lord sulking and missing his beloved. or how sailors whisper a prayer or two to the god of wind for safe travels as where rex lapis' domain does not extend, they instead hope for the protection of his "bride" :)

actually, i am writing a whole fic about this! it's an epistolary-styled story filled with outsider accounts of how morax and barbatos just keep popping up, directly or indirectly, in each other's mythology. it's also about zhongli intentionally messing with the historical record in attempt to bring more of this to light because he's sulky about venti not visiting him for 500 years lol.

but yeah, the gods aspect is quite important to me and my view of them is so specific that i tend to be picky when it comes to fics, especially if they are AUs.

finally, as you know, i have more than a couple of crack theories/shipper delusion when it comes to zhongven and wider genshin lore. (descender zhongli and shade of istaroth venti my beloved!!!) namely, that venti warned zhongli about the cataclysm beforehand due to his god of time/celestia connections, but didn't warn the others, and that's why there was a near pantheon wipeout and the tsaritsa hates him now while zhongli carries so much guilt. also, that zhongli retired godhood at least partly due to venti, leaving his country to the humans (just like venti had done all along), and because he regretted how he always prioritized work and didn't treasure what he had until venti disappeared for his 500y coma.

"the end of godhood" is a really fascinating concept to me, as is what their relationship could turn out like in the future. they aren't gods anymore, but they're not exactly humans either, and no one else can really understand them like they understand each other. a lot of the obstacles in the way of them being together are now gone, but they now also carry new scars. i have a fic vaguely drafted centering around this too.

hehe, thanks for giving me the excuse to talk at length about them! 💞

My Hero's Welcome is in Your Arms

my hero's welcome is in your arms by CalicoLynx

Once upon a time there were two brothers, opposites in their godliness.

Throughout the ages there were many battles waged, staining the world with blood and death, misery and anguish.

When the grief and suffering had reached all corners of the world the valkyries, the satyrs, the centaurs and the very pantheon itself all joined together to enforce a magical ban on the brothers from ever waging battle against each other again.

And thus the Age of Champions was born.
