#rae snippets

[raewritesf1]

Anyways here’s a snippet of calls and cats pt2 because what was supposed to just be a second chapter is somehow ballooning into more than one chapter:

[littleraeofsunshineda]

I've done it I've started the Hangster has words they're crazy rough and they're in th3 middle somewhere and they make no sense because they'll need an earlier scene but WELL there's a Billy Joel pun and canon-typical serenading so idk what to tell you.

Sneak under the cut.

There's the rough, jerking screech as the jukebox cuts out, amd as Hangman swallows through the cloying warm dregs of his beer the notes of the piano (mostly in tune, but mostly's close enough for this crowd) strike up something softer. The notes lilt a little, tripping under the player's hands, like something he'd learned recently - or a long time ago.

Coyote bumps his arm and tips his head, frowning a frown that makes Jake feel he knows way too much. Hangman doesn't want to follow, meandering over to where Rooster is playing a memory one handed in a ring of admirers, but leaving would be as good as a fold and he can't fold to Rooster - so he walks, and doesn't think.

They join the knot of uniforms, uncharacteristically hushed as Rooster croons away, eyes on his hands playing less familiar chords. Fanboy is mouthing the words to himself already, unaware that Payback is making a mocking copy behind his right ear, to sniggers from Echo. Coyote doesnt stop in the ring, but pushes right up until he's leaning next to Harvard on the back of the piano, across from Phoenix and her hand on Rooster's shoulder. Hangman sets his empty glass down on the piano next to Coyote's, feeling unsteady. The group laughs as Rooster fumbles theatrically, farcing through "...I'm not really sure how it goes..." and he sees Rooster notice his presence just in time to meet his eyes "...when I wore a younger man's clothes..."

The contact is a fraction of a second, but the alcohol is thundering through Jake with a vengeance, looking at a dusting of red across Bradley's ears, upturned as his gaze drills into the keys. Jake looks anywhere else. Coyote's beer has been abandoned. Probably. He conscripts it, for something to do with his hands.

There's something twisting in his chest, as Bradley croons away, backed by the belting of the whole crowd now, getting in on those "la-di-dah-di-dahs". The top of the piano is sticky where his palm rests. He feels the tune bang through from Bradley's fingertips through the wood and into his veins, wonders if Bradley can feel him too. Joins in the chorus and is treated to a blinding grin under the moustache, tipped up towards him like the sun.

So he goes easy then, laughs easy-like when Bradley raises his eyebrows suggestively at the two of them, dropping his voice to outrageous effect: "And Paul is a real estate novelist, who "never had time" for a wife... and he's talking to Javy, who's still in the Navy--" -- a round of raucous bellows as Rooster winks at Coyote and the whole bar belts out the finish -- "and probably will be for life!"

💜 for archaegis?

Thank you so much!! I love these two <3

💜 surprise kiss / impulsive kiss

How about a pre-Fight Night kiss back in the early days of their relationship?

____

He wasn't sure where he found the courage.

They'd shared a few kisses, here and there, but it was all so... prepared. The end of a date out, a brief kiss goodnight as he walked her back to her flat, perfectly expected and typical behavior. Not much outside that. Yet.

It was about the only normal thing about his life, and part of him wanted it to stay that way. It was nice to leave his worries at the door, shove aside the fear that he wouldn't make it to the end of the week, and spend a gentle evening with the woman he found himself quickly falling for. It was nice to pretend he didn't have to fight for his life.

But he couldn't stop her from coming to the fights... and he wasn't sure he wanted to do that either. He wanted to keep those worlds separate, and yet having her there gave him something to fight for. He didn't want her to see that side of him, and yet it was how they'd met. He wanted to keep her away for fear of the higher-ups using their relationship as leverage against him, and yet he couldn't bear to brush her aside. It was a strange sort of paradox, and he hadn't found a way to resolve it.

And one night... that changed.

Rae found him in the alleyway behind the warehouse, as she so often did. Warren had to give her credit for that much - no matter how many fights she witnessed, how many time she'd watched him risk his life, she still came to see him off before the next one.

"Stay safe, okay?" she told him, after pulling him into a quick, tight hug. He tried to memorize every detail of it. Any of these fights might be his last, and he wanted something to hold on to if it was.

He thought he heard her voice waver, just the slightest bit, with that first statement. But by the time she pulled back from the embrace, she seemed to have steadied herself.

"Meet you after the fight." Rae said. It sounded like a promise. It was a promise he wanted desperately to keep.

Before he could psych himself out of it, before he could worry about letting those walls between normalcy and desperation crumble, Warren ducked in and kissed her.

If this would be the night he finally went out, at least he'd end on a high note.

[pinchedlittlefox]

Rae never had a chance to have a family or a daughter, but...

Fate sets her upon a different path.

And here she is looking after a damaged five/six year old while she tries to keep Brendol's treachery at bay.

Read Gender Failure by Ivan Coyote and Rae Spoon, absolutely fantastic

MOLLY MY BELOVED WHY DOES EDDIE CALL BUCK BABY GIRL 👀👀👀👀👀👀

eddie calls buck babygirl cause buck is wearing pretty pink lingerie for him <3 also eddie fucks him in front of a mirror <3

“Oh, I like them.” A shiver zips up Buck’s spine, Eddie’s hot breath curling around his ear. “Go try them on for me, baby.” Buck stands there for a beat, pulse kicking in his throat before he realizes what Eddie is asking.  “Yeah, okay,” Buck breathes out on a shaky exhale, heat blooming behind his navel as Eddie releases him.  The delicate lace feels cool to the touch when Buck gathers up the lingerie from the bed — the fabric nearly slipping between his fingers like water. His stomach flips, excitement simmering in his veins as his cock twitches — already interested.

7-up

thank you for the tag @rollercoasterwords <33

rules: post 7 (or more) lines of a wip you've been working on. here's a bit more than 7 lines of an unnamed something that's hopefully short and not very sweet :-)

‘Be careful what you wish for’ was a maxim Remus had never paid much attention to. Even as a child he'd never wished with the expectation of receiving, his only experience had been with bargaining, deals with the devil—this is what I’ll sacrifice to avoid a certain suffering, spare me spare me spare me and I’ll pay with all I have.  Somehow, even without wishing, he had fallen into the trap of getting everything you wanted and far more than you could handle. Consequences be damned you can have him, now what will you do with him? The answer was to suffer. Suffer a passion that turned your nerves inside out, blinded and burned you, whipped your heart into a frenzy and left it broken, beaten and driven to exhaustion like a racehorse at the end of the track. Suffer intimacy, affection and kindness that you hadn’t even known existed, that left you weeping after making love to a man the first time you finished inside him and realised what it was to share yourself with someone you had actually longed to touch. Suffer all this and know that it’s not really yours, not to keep, only on the off days, late nights and if you’re lucky for a weekend, only in the shadows, behind closed doors and back alleys, only as long as your wife doesn’t find out.

trick or treat!! 🥰💗

I shouldn’t even answer this, you already got a treat today🙄

More stranded au since I know that’s what you’re here for

Buck wasn’t sure when he passed out. One minute he was watching his team mates panicking, the flight attendant yelling at them to sit down and put their oxygen masks in, then she had been catapulted off the plane as they collided against something, the entire wall gone, the flight attendant gone, half of his team gone. Dead. Falling from the sky at who knows how many miles per hour but Buck knew that they weren’t going to survive the fall.

He looked behind him, three seats behind him, where a pair of panicked brown eyes were already looking at him. The last thing he saw before he passed out was Eddie mouthing “I love you”.

Trick or treat into my bag of wips 🎃🖤

… She plants a kiss on her yol’s feathered head, runs a hand down that fierce beak— and for the first time is overcome with the enormity of what lies before her.

rae your elmax fic sounds SO CUTE so far!!! i am absolutely obsessed but also. i am back for another one: i've been a lot of lonely places !!!

hi again spencer my beloved!!!! thank you for being so unbelievably sweet and supportive of me 😭

i posted a bit about i've been a lot of lonely places here, but one of the things i'd love to talk about a bit more is the anger and resentment aspect of the fic. as of current canon, two of el's strongest relationships are with will and max. will is her brother - their bond is not of this world, siblings not by circumstance but by choice - you know what i mean. and max is her best friend in the entire world, and el would move heaven and earth and mountains to save her. hell, el's love for max was strong enough to revive her from the brink of death and restart her heart!!

but this wasn't always the case, and though i adore both willel and elmax, i really want to explore the messy 'before' time period, when both will and max were dealing with these less-than-perfect feelings. will obviously does not really believe el is stupid, but judging by his comment in s3 i do think that there was some level of resentment building up towards el post-snowball, and i know that he was very upset about not feeling like he was a priority to mike anymore. and of course, max was being iced out by both mike and el, so there is that common element of feeling like they don't belong within that group. i want to write will seeing what max is going through with mike and el, and trying to reassure her and maybe also himself that this is just temporary and that things will get better and go back to normal.

i've actually only written 1k words for this fic, so there isn't that much out on paper yet, but i'm gonna share this snippet just for you :)

sweet will dealing with so much and feeling so hurt but also Knowing that he cannot blame the brave, kind girl who risked her life over and over for him....my heart aches just thinking about this 🥺

He had made a noise that, apparently, sounded close enough to agreement since he could vaguely remember Lando cheering in the background, and now here he was with an apartment full of strangers and a growing headache.

Not even five days later, George had again found himself tangled in expensive sheets, the heavy warmth of a familiar body pinning him down, calloused fingers digging bruises into his waist, Max's teeth scraping over the skin of his throat.

@fkinkindagauche @stervrucht Lmao the way ya’ll can sense the danger Eddie is in after insinuating Billy’s “small”. 😭😭😭

And you’re completely correct. He’s cooked. So here’s a snippet:

Find the Word

How it works: Search for the words assigned to you in your latest WIP(s) and post snippets that include those words! Then choose four words & tag others to do the same!

I was tagged by the wonderful @medusapelagia ! Thank you for thinking of meee🥹💕

My words were: holiday, sun, breath, & family

Holiday: (from an upcoming chapter of Easy as 123) (Harringrove)

Billy wasn’t stupid, despite what Neil had tried to drill into his head. On the few occasions he was home for a holiday or a birthday or some shit, he had seen the signs. He’d watched the way Susan gave Neil a wide berth when she passed him by, how her hand shook all the time, how she only ever wore long sleeves now… she was Neil’s newest outlet for his rage. The shiny new scapegoat that could be blamed for everything bad that happened in his goddamn life. God forbid his dad ever take responsibility for his own shit. No, it was always someone else’s fault.

Sun: (from my Eddie Big Bang) (Steddie)

Normally, Eddie would take the opportunity to gawk at Steve’s divine, shirtless form, but in this moment he’s a defeated man. Beaten down. He doesn’t deserve to look at those hairy, sun-kissed pecs.

Breath: (from an upcoming chapter of Bonafide Lovin’) (Mungrove)

Eddie sucks in a quick breath, frustration boiling over, “I just… I just don’t get why you won’t ever let me return the favour—it doesn’t gross me out or anything. I like dicks! And, just so you know, I don’t care if you’re like, small or anything, I won’t judge, I just—”

Family: (from an upcoming chapter of Easy as 123) (Harringrove)

“You can tell me,” he prods, “c’mon twerp, spill.”

And apparently it’s all she needs.

“Danny O'connell said we weren’t a real family today at school,” Maxine whispers, like she’s nervous how he’ll will react.

Billy feels his heart sink. “What?”

"Mother of Dogs" in GoT font, "hello gorgeous" covered in pineapples, a small snippet of someone's MASSIVE Rae Dunn collection of mugs I couldn't get a full pic of because people were swarming to go through them , She™, and this godawful emoji creation

[emberunderscore]

FableSMP EPIC the musical AU

whole thing comes from the perspective of Midas (as Quixis specifically) being Scylla, which means Icarus has to be Odysseus, which is also fitting tbh.

this is only based on the released sagas bc i dont have the vibe of the future characters yet (i dont look at a whole lot of snippets). also dont think about any of the blood family stuff too hard - theres nothing weird dw but it just makes stuff complicated with the gods

Monsters

Scylla - Quixis Midas

The ideas of Scylla being human turned monster, Midas is human turned Quixis, which in this universe could be something of a replacement for monstrous, which also works with 

Spooky bitch Midas propaganda

Look at my edit to be even more convinced

Polyphemus - Leviathan/Vorago

Probably makes most sense with Leviathan

Instead of the parent/child relationship with Poseidon they're siblings (ocie is poseidon)

Humans/Dead people

Odysseus - Icarus

Icarus has to be Ody because of Midas being Scylla

The song Monster

The conflicts within the plot work well with Icarus’ own relationships

Eury and Ody see each other as brothers, even though it isn't’t blood. Maybe they’re not blood related in this AU

Eurylochus: Rae

Brothers!!

Rae is seen as the leader of Lodestar, which works well with Eury’s place as the voice of the crew

Penelope: Centross??

prison duo

but it actually works because Icarus would do anything for him. just look at season 3

he's probably not smart enough to be penelope but the agenda is more important than that

Telemachus: Oscar

Ik Oscar isn't Icarus' kid but he is Centross and theoretically Centross would've been the one to raise him anyway

See Legendary

Polities: Athena

Optimist

Song open arms

"everything's changed since polities"

Perimedes: Caspian

Perimedes is the one who stabs Odysseus in the back to stop him from killing Eurylochus in Mutiny

For Rae? Cas wouldn't hesitate

Tireseas: Haley

Dead prophet

who else

Ody's dead mom: Isla

Isla is Icarus' mom??? In this AU??? /s

Gods

Zeus: Fable

Orignially this was Epros but I was convinced to change it

Massive ego

Yellow

Actual reasons in this post

Athena: Enderian

This could also be fable but I dont think Icarus would defy him like how he does

Goddess of the Mind, need I say more

Aeolus: Aurelius

They have the vibes I think

Aeolus is gender and so is Aurelius

There are a lot of options I think

I like the idea of the Winions(?) being the piglins they had in their bunker

Poseidon: Ocie

Ocean

At the beginning Ocie is so ready to kill people, she does not care for human life. Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

She would do that for Vorago

Canon compliant beef with Icarus 

Circe: Momboo

My first thought was Ven because I'm a fucking dumbass

It makes so much more sense than Ven

Plant lady, plant witch

badass

girlboss

pretty woman

Hermes: Rakai

They have the vibes

One of the very few gods to tolerate Icarus

gender

Apollo: Malitae

Apollo sounds so fruity in god games

Apollo cares most about music in god games which is a form of expression so i think it fits for Malitae to be him

Hephaestus: Nexus

In god games Hephaestus' thing is trust, he's pissed that Ody betrayed his crew

Nexus is the Goddess of Loyalty so it fits really well that she'd be upset about that

Nexus was also a knight so being a god of blacksmithing isn't too far from that

Aphrodite: Soul

Aphrodite cares about Ody's mom's broken heart

If we thing of it in the context of soulbonds it makes sense that Soul would be upset about that

Ares: Netherum

Ares is the only one in god games to match Athena's power, which checks out - major god to major god

Maybe its a bit ooc for Netherum themself

But god of destruction as the god of war. thats something

Would totally step in for Soul

Hera: Perix

In this AU we ignore family dynamics- Perix is not married

Calls Athena "baby" (kinda gay)

Fits the vibe

can you come up with a better idea? no, nor could I (credit to Sardar106 for this casting lol)

Calypso: Ven

They're so "This could never really happen but let us pretend"

"I wish we could've been something"

Look at this post (person who reblogged has better words than me go read that)

thank you for coming to my au talk. please share your own thoughts and opinions (but also remember that i am objectively correct all of the time /j)

tuesday snippet!

ty for the tags @fruityindividual & @kaaaaaaarf <3

this is a little something some already read about the About Time Wolfstar AU, but since I'm planning to start posting it again next year, it seems a good time to bring it back now, specially since this story begins in December <3

From Chapter 1

With all the seriousness Remus has never seen in him, Lyall Lupin says something that will irremediably alter Remus’ life, even if he is not aware of it at the moment.  “You can travel through time.” He blinks at his father. Once, twice. And then, he loses it.  Remus doesn’t mean to laugh at him, truly, he doesn’t. But come on— it’s utterly ridiculous. His stomach aches a little at the effort. What’s the protocol when your father gives you a family heirloom wrapped in a tiny ribbon of pure nonsense?  “Did James put you up to this? Because it’s a little far-fetched, even for him,” Remus asks, wiping the tears at the corner of his eyes. To his credit, his dad doesn’t seem offended; if anything, he looks entertained. “Why would I lie to a person, let’s say, I mildly tolerate?” Lyall teases, lips twitching.
