Okay, but looking back, damn I love to HURT Luke, just sayin.
Ghost AU turns to Luke becoming a vengeful spirit, killing Michael, Castor, Lee, and a few others before "passing on" and becoming the Black Rose cryptid.
Roman AU Luke and that whole being branded and buried alive thing.
Time Loop AU being killed multiple times
Ride or Die AU having a chthonic boyfriend, but also having many mental breakdowns and living with hate from everyone
All or Nothing AU godly siblings being poisoned, is the God of Grief, gets poisoned and nearly dies...
I think I have a problem
There's nothing more fun than using your favs as punching bags.
(Cough cough me & my dozens Wips ft Alabaster angst)

F is for friends who do stuff together - the awake at 2 AM remix
Joan needs a swear jar, Talyn's a lightbulb, Valerie is tired and valid, and Thomas+Sides are very confused)
Summary- Thomas has had his sides around for... a long time. That's for sure. And he knows that nobody else can see them (except maybe Lilly, but she has sides too, so).
Pairings- Pintroverts, Thomas and friends, Thomas and Sides
Read on AO3
Word count- 2666
Warnings- It has character!everyone, and NOT their real life counterparts. Please remember this.
Other notes- AU where instead of Vine, c!Thomas left chemical engineering for signing with a really dope theatre company with his friends. He still meets Nico at the mall, but Nico's a new writer for the company! All the sides are friends too! Enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look, the first time was an accident, okay? Joan was tired and a bit incoherent and what was Thomas supposed to do?!! Leave them be? No! So Joan ended up staying the night.
Except, the next morning was when everyone had entered the courtroom together and they'd gotten WAY too dramatic over whether to lie to them about a text they'd made like… two days ago and that Thomas had only seen after combing through a barrage of memes and that Joan probably wouldn't remember, come to think about it. But that was hindsight and after the utter nightmare that was a whole day (A whole day!!) with Aunt Patty the day before, Virgil and Patton were absolutely freaking out, probably giving Deceit (Who, in hindsight, Thomas knows as Janus) a little extra leeway into the conversation that day.
Either way, Joan had stayed the night in order to recover from the utter sleep-deprivation that they'd been going through, and Thomas had forgotten about the fact that Joan was even there for most of the morning, only seeing them after the entire courtroom spectacle (and a suspiciously dire warning from Virgil) at breakfast, and them leaving to see Talyn a little after (with plenty of hugs involved, duh).
Then Thomas told Joan the truth over the call, and Joan had said The Line (as Roman, Virgil and Janus call it with an oddly cryptid-like voice) and Thomas felt himself go frigid.
Since when did Joan know that Thomas talked to his sides?! Had they learned their names? Figured out that Thomas might just have a few extra screws loose than they might have initially thought?
"Maybe they even hate us now because we got so crazed over one little text and--”
“Virgil. Not helping!” Thomas yelps, and Virgil catches himself in his spiel of worst case scenarios, looking a bit sheepish. Patton and Thomas smile at him reassuringly (he hopes) and Logan clears his throat, causing everyone to turn to him.
“Well, Joan seems to be aware enough of the fact that you speak to us, but mostly considers it as you, as they had said, ‘talking to yourself’, and besides, you didn’t name-drop us too many times, anyways. And while it’s not really...ideal, that Joan thinks you talk to yourself for this long-”
“You can say that again, Stephen Hawk-Nerd”, murmured Roman. Logan winces, and Thomas kind of wants to hug him, so he does.
“Yes, Roman, and as bad as that nickname is, note that this is not, in fact a worst-case scenario. This can be put down to the fact that Thomas has some strange personality quirks-”
“Did you just do some wordplay there, kiddo?” Patton beams at the implication, while Logan, currently being shared by Thomas and Virgil, just groans and descends further into the contact.
“No, I did not, Patton, but what I am saying, is that this is not too bad. We can talk about it as a general personality quirk. This is fine.” Logan finishes, and becomes a heap in the total hug-pile of Thomas and Virgil, flopping over. Huh, he (as usual) has a point. Maybe this can work.
The second time was a pretty near miss, but once again, it was unexpected! He and the sides were just watching Mulan together as usual! They were piled up together, blankets in hand, and yeah, it might look weird to anyone who can’t see the sides, he guesses, with the blankets stretched out in places that have nothing to stretch onto, but once again, he wasn't expecting someone to come over! But anyways- whatever happens, happens. He's trying to be better about it.
It really doesn't stop Janus from pulling out all the stops (teaming up with Virgil, even!) when it comes to having to come up with an alibi to Terrence over why the blankets are arranged so strangely, even though there is literally nothing keeping it afloat. In the end, it's not the most believable lie, but Terrence is busy with Valerie just after, so he probably doesn't really think about it too hard. Besides, Thomas has always been a pretty quirky guy! ("Which could be an insul--" "Jack and Sullen, we love you very very much, but please, for the love of all things Disney, please breathe and take out your fidget cube..") So hey, what was a new quirk when added to everything else?
Meanwhile, Terrence is trying to figure out what the fuck he just saw, because he's pretty sure that there were more than one Thomas there, and Thomas only has two other brothers. Also none of them dress like twenties mobsters or are semi-transparent.
Nico was having a good day. In fact, he still is!
He and his (amazing) boyfriend were sitting on the couch- though more draped on top of each other than anything while binge watching ELITE and Tiny Pretty Things, while also being pleasantly high (as opposed to stoned).
Things only entered strange territory when during one of the flashback murder-y scenes in Tiny pretty Things, a strange man who looked like an even more chaotic Thomas with some grey hair on him entered the room from seemingly nowhere, and proceeded to occupy the sparse space on Thomas’s lap with his head, essntially just napping on his boyfriend’s lap while also being kind of see-through (???!!!???AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH). Thomas noticed, waved a small wave and started playing with this weird guy’s hair.
Nico is now a little high from the bong that he and Thomas had shared, but not enough to hallucinate, especially since, when the high was pretty much gone, the guy was STILL THERE. MIERDA. At this point, he’s just going to call it ghosts. Thomas doesn’t seem to mind too much anyways, so they must not be harmful. Nico decides to table this for another day and go back to binge watching crazy maniacs with his very soft and warm boyfriend, and let the remainder of the high coast along.
"We have to talk about the Thomas thing." Is the first thing Joan says without any bullshit, as soon as everyone except Thomas himself, Gavin (because it's two AM) and Quil are packed together in Thomas's living room, where he just binged Parks and Rec with everyone. They've all finally managed to shove Thomas and Quil back to their respective areas of sleep after 42 hours without said sleep, and nobody was allowed to talk loud enough for them to wake up.
"The… Thomas thing?" Asks Valerie. Oh that sweet summer child. Joan once again quietly calls everyone's attention by asking Talyn to shake their hair around like a neon-coloured alarm bell. This was especially effective in the otherwise dark kitchen where they were trying out glow in the dark hair dye.
"Well, as of lately, we've been seeing a lot, and I mean a lot of really weird shit coming from Thomas. Everyone, recount your experiences." Joan says in the most serious voice they've got. "I'll go first."
They wave their hands like Matt Mercer, as if they were setting up a dope DND campaign. Quietly, of course.
"Well, about a month ago now, I was cleaning here, at Thomas's, because I was sleep-deprived and would have crashed and died if I'd tried to go back to mine and Talyn's. So most of the night goes normally, as one would expect, but when I wake up in the morning…" Joan readjusts their beanie. "I hear Thomas in the living room, talking to people called Logan, Roman, someone called Pat, Virgil and 'deceit'. And this debate becomes an ordeal, alright? He re-enacts a whole entire ace-attorney style courtroom scene with these imaginary people? I called him out on it over the phone when he apologized for some random thing- I don't remember, and he kind of just… admitted that he talks to himself? And moved on.
Everyone absorbs this new information. Camden keeps braiding Talyn's hair.
"But that's not too big of a deal, right Joan?" Whispers Camden, tying up the elaborate mini fishtail plait in Talyn's hair. "I mean, thanks Thomas we're talking about. He could have been rehearsing or something- isn't he JD in the next production of Heathers?"
Terrence speaks up next. "Yes, this would have been all well and good, had the Blanket Incident ™ not occured."
Valerie shakes her head. Why are her friends like this? Oh wait. They’re all theatre nerds, queer and D&D players.
"In the blanket incident ™, I was walking past Thomas's room, as one does. HOWEVER, while he was watching Mulan, I noticed something wrong with his blanket pile!"
"What, that they don't have any Vetal Miking references on them? Because that's the true tragedy here."
"Nope, sorry Tal, the weirdness here was not about Vetal Miking references, but the fact that parts of the blanket were freaking floating, in thin air! I have discreet pictures!"
"What the fuck, Terrence." whispered everyone in a strange, haunting unison that could only be possible at two AM as they saw the very strange pictures.
"And that's not it!" Pipes up Talyn, who is now realising that they are very close to becoming too loud for 2 AM kitchen chats, and makes an effort to quiet down.
"At breakfast today, Thomas's waffles were making themselves- Thomas can't cook, y'all. And he can't even use is fucking waffle iron. And he was on the other side of the room! Talking to Quil!" After Quil left, he told the waffle creator to chill out because the stack was getting too tall!"
"Is this about Thomas's ghosts, guys?" Asks Nico, the new cute boyfriend and new theatre company writer as he plops down in Quil's usual spot. Nico's nice- everyone likes Nico except maybe Nico, to which, well, mood. ALSO- ghosts?!!
"Nico what the fuck do you mean by ghosts, you serial killer in training?"
"One, just because I have to write a serial killer in this new script and I'm enjoying it, it doesn't mean I'm gonna be a serial killer, you tonte. Two: yeah, the ghosts that follow him around and look just like him? They seem nice enough." At everyone's super unspoken request to elaborate, for fuck's sake, he takes the hint and does.
“Oh! So the first time I saw them, I was at the mall. You know, where Thomas and I met?” everyone nods, and Talyn readjusts their braces.
“So there was this guy in a hoodie- Virgil, as you said, and the Disney prince. Roman, I think. And they were just kind of… there? Roman was holding Virgil’s shoulder affectionately, and that’s about it. They were only really visible after about three or four hours of us talking, though.” Some of the people hum.
“Then, we were watching a movie and these two guys who also look a lot like Thomas just kind of lounged? On the couch? They were pretty faint, like if their brightness was decreased to about thirty percent in Photoshop.”
“Hey, same!” says Terrence.
“Yeah, so those guys- the one in the green t-shirt that has the legs on the bus meme- so weird- kind of just stretches onto Thomas’s lap and stays there, while the twenties mobster just… curls up to his side? And thomas is probably like, used to this because he kind of just lets it be and curls the meme shirt-”
“I think it’s Remus.”
“-Remus’s hair absentmindedly and moves on.”
“Fuck.” Whispered Joan very softly, but with great feeling.
“So what do we do about it?” asks Camden. There, finally, someone asks the real questions.
“Well,” puts forward Talyn. “They’re not harming him, right? And he’s had them around for a long enough time, right? So what’s the harm? Thomas is just haunted and will probably be on Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural at some point when he dies but hey, if he’s cool with it, we are too.”
Everyone seems to agree with that, and they’re in comfortable silence, until Valerie asks everyone to go the fuck to sleep, we’re still doing the Heather’s costume rehersals and Death Week starts in two days. With groans and cracked joints from Talyn, everyone hobbles off to their respective rooms in the duplex.
Meanwhile, a certain white-streaked side and his hoodied companion are listening through the wall, far away from what anyone can see, and they both visibly sigh in relief. That didn’t go too badly. The question remains: what do we do now?
“They KNOW????” exclaims Thomas, the next day in the (thankfully empty) breakroom, in between rehearsals- Candy Store is being run through and that means that everyone else is outside.
“Yes, Thomas, they know. Or they somewhat know, I suppose.”
“Yeah, because they think we’re-Thomas is being HAUNTED!!’
“Are you not haunted, then?” comes a voice, and Thomas turns around, forgetting to let the sides dissipate in his surprise. It’s Nico, with Talyn and Valerie close behind, who are clearly taking in the six other guys in the breakroom. Well, fuck. The cat’s out of the bag for good, he guesses.
“Could you get everyone else during lunch break? I’ll explain then.” Talyn nods and leaves with a smile, telling him that they’re not mad at him, while Nico asks, voice farther away “So are you haunted or not?”.
“So they’re… aspects of your personality that you’ve been able to manifest since you were a kid?” Camden asks, a bit disbelieving, even as Logan, Roman, Patton and Janus drape themselves over Thomas on one of the beanbags in the breakroom, filled with other nerdy gay young adults. Logan pushes up his glasses, ready to go on another tangent. Go wild, you funky little dude.
“Well yes, that’s exactly what we're saying. I myself am the embodiment of Logic- every fact that Thomas has ever learned, and his, and these are his words, not mine, ‘the only braincell’. He makes the air quotes to go with the expression, but is also smiling fondly.
“Classic Thomas.”
“Yes, Valerie, I am inclined to agree. However, this is not specific to Thomas. Other people can, in fact, do what Thomas is. Lilly Singh is one of them- the reason that she and Thomas are even friends is because in high school Thomas caught her talking to one of her sides in the art room.”
“So wait-- we can summon sides too?!” asks Nico, and he and Camden look genuinely excited, but Thomas knows the answer to that question.
“Unfortunately no, not really. You have to have an extremely active imagination, and also be ‘innocent’, as society would put it. I’d say näive.”
“For example, I couldn’t make any more sides after i was fourteen, because I watched the news by then.” pipes in Thomas. Joan seems to process this first, nodding and grinning sardonically. “Ah yes, the news. Wrecking childhoods since forever.” everyone nods in gay syncing, because gay minds think at the same time.
Valerie suddenly speaks up; “So how many sides do you have, Thomas?”
Thomas perks up, because his sides are possibly his favourite metaphysical beings (as narcissistic as that might sound) “I have six! My logic, morality, both creativities- Kids and Family and PG13-and-up, anxiety and deceit! I have two creativities because of catholic guilt and my mind’s inherent need to cause chaos, I guess.”
“Valid” replied Valerie.
The rest of break passed by pretty smoothly, with questions being passed back-and-forth about what the sides truly were, considering they clearly were not just Thomas, and Virgil even felt okay enough to come in later! So that was good. Though he kind of wishes Remus had made fewer Heathers jokes- Camden was starting to look squeamish, even as Nico frantically took notes of gorey facts to use in his script.
Honestly, Thomas thought to himself. What was I scared of?
Irrational things. And rejection, replies Virgil in his head. He laughs and pulls him in for a hug, and tries as he might to deny it, Virgil is looking pretty chuffed.

Fic Masterpost
Gonna start posting fics here instead of the mess that is @goodjobmiranda because why not
One shots
Restart the Story: AO3 / Tumblr
Ships: None
Warnings:  Blood and Violence, Temporary Death, Implied memory loss, Loss of control, forced to kill, sword fighting, hurt no comfort
Roman is designed to win.
Remus is designed to lose.
It's a game, a test, a simulation. They're both aware of its false nature but this is how it's always been. Time doesn't move linear, it's a story that needs to be finished, it's multiple stories that continue forever no matter how Roman may try to resist it.
Ophiophobia: AO3 - Might make a part two in future.
Ships: None but some good ol platonic Anxceit near the end
Warnings: Snakes, phobia of said snakes, panic attack, Virgil being a little bit of a jerk but immediately regretting it, 
The others are trying very hard to include Deceit and want to gift him with his very own snake! It’s a very thoughtful gift that Deceit is sure he’d appreciate if wasn’t actually terrified of snakes.
Welcomed Arrangements(based on this post) AO3 / Tumblr
Ships: Roceit
Warnings: Arranged marriage, secret relationships
He’d kept his face blank when Logan regrettably informed him of his arranged marriage. He had managed to frown when Logan told him that he was betrothed to the very man he’s been sneaking away to be with. He had even rolled his eyes as the royal counsel tried to reason that this was the only way to ensure peace between two of the largest kingdoms on this side of the world-
Like Declan wasn’t already pathetically in love with Prince Roman.
Story of a Cursed Hero: AO3 - Might make a part two in future
Ships: Platonic Anxceit
Warnings: Child abuse, running away, fear of death, monsters(He’s friendly tho)
Deceit doesn’t really believe in fairy tales but despite this fact he’s clinging onto his childhood book and heading towards an abandoned town in hopes of finding the cursed here his story spoke of.
A Lovely Night: AO3 / Tumblr
Ships: Loceit
Warnings: Deceit jumps off a roof in gay panic but he’s fine.
Deceit and Logan sit up on the roof to look at the stars. It's a delicate peace that's becoming stronger.
Beautiful: AO3 / Tumblr
Ships: Logicality
Warnings: None that i can really think of
 Logan was content living in his dull colored world. Until he wasn’t anymore.
It was frustrating, irritating, infuriating, aggregating. It should have been a normal day, it should have been plain and easy as any other day. “Let’s try that new bakery this morning.” He thought. “It would save time making breakfast.” He thought.
He should have stayed in bed.
Sunflower Skirts: AO3 / Tumblr
Ships: Thomceit(Platonic or romantic, your choice)
Warnings: Janus wears a skirt, little bit of insecurity
Janus is nervous about showing off this one of his favorite pieces of clothing and Thomas shows him really has no reason to be.
Not Oneshots
The Night Fellow:
Part One: AO3 / Tumblr
Ships: Platonic Analogical
Warnings:  Body Horror, Monster Virgil(he’s a creepy friend right there), mentions of violence and shooting, descriptions of teeth, please let me know if i should tag anything else
Logan hunts down the town’s local cryptid and shoves his hands in their mouth and the thing kinda decides they like him.
A Princes Guide to Seducing Monsters: AO3 / Tumblr Tag
General warnings: sympathetic sides, Monsters, some monster prejudice, it’s mostly fluff and flirting but there will be some darker themes to some characters backstories
- Fight or Flight: AO3 / Tumblr   Ships: Prinxety   Warning: Spider!Virgil   Summary: Virgil’s just trying to live his best hermit life but a prince comes right into his life and starts flirting with him
 - Vampire Kisses: AO3 / Tumblr    Ships: Royality, Background Prinxiety    Warnings: Vampire!Patton, mentions of blood because vampire puns, so muh smooching    Summary:  Roman goes to his Vampire boyfriend to gush about his Spider crush
Fusion time: AO3 / Tumblr tag
- Lost loves: Part one: AO3 / Tumblr Part Two: AO3 / Tumblr   Ships: Past Kingceit   Warning: Sad times, Deceit slaps someone, fusion   Summary:  The King returns when Roman and Remus fuse and Deceit temporarily reunites with his long lost love but it’s not a good time for anyone.
Crowns and Treehouses: 
Chapters: Part One - Part Two -
Ao3
Ships: Background Logan/Virgil/Patton probably
Warnings: Past minor character death, Loss of Parents, Hurt/Comfort, Trauma, Past child endangerment, Loss of Trust, ptsd
Summary:
Janus and Virgil arrive from the kingdom's capital with the village's old scholar Logan out of nowhere.
But Roman and Remus are just excited when they hear about a new kid their age and are immediately determined to make friends with the boy no matter how different Janus's old life may have been from theirs, the three of them will become the bestest of friends and no, Janus does not get a choice on the matter.
Multi chapter fics that i’m too lazy to copy and paste onto tumblr
most of these are kinda dark and angst too so be careful
Symbiotic: AO3
Ships: None currently but this may change as I write
Warnings: Deceit is an asshole but not evil, addictions, unhealthy Anxceit(For now), Biting, Remus is a warning in himself in this one
Vampire au where Deceit is named Durus and is addicted to a certain venom that has him seeking out vampires to drink his blood.
Selfish Creatures: AO3
Warning: PTSD moments, past torture, Painful shapeshifting, Non-consensual kissing(They think it’s Patton but it’s not), Deceit is pretty hecking spooky in this one
Deceit is a shapeshifting creature that’s been trapped inside a cursed mirror for as long as he can remember, he gets his one chance at freedom by sacrifing his only friend.
Left behind: AO3
Zombie au where Virgil gets bitten and convinces the others to leave him behind so they don’t have to kill him only to find that he has a certain immunity and very much doesn’t die.
Rose-Tinted Eyes: AO3
The Dragon Deceit makes a deal with the Dragon slaying prince to spare their life. All the prince asks of them is someone who he can love who won't use him for power. Deceit knows that they will not be able to force anyone to love the prince without breaking their deal so, with the help of shapeshifting and a love potion, they volunteer themself as they figure that they can keep the Prince entertained for the rest of the human's short lifespan.

Roman thought he was perfectly charming, thank you very much! Why, it was right there in his last name. Roman Prince. Prince Charming. See! He was an absolute gentleman, if he did say so himself. And, well, if you didn’t believe him, you could always ask his big brother! Patton said it all the time! He said that Roman was kind and chivalrous and passionate. He said that Roman cared about the people he loved! 
If only all older brothers were as sweet as Patton was. 
It hadn’t even been Roman’s idea, first of all! … Mostly. Okay, so it hadn’t been his own original idea but it might have been his idea to give it a try. He’d done plenty of research, though, in making sure that it was safe and that neither of them would get hurt! He was far too attached to Damien to even imagine letting him get injured. It was going to make for a really cool video, okay? Both of their channels had been lacking in content lately, what with being busy with college; this way, they’d each have a video to post! The plan was that they’d be shot from very different point of views with titles that were just enough clickbait without actually being false. 
“my boyfriend shoots my brother�� was true, technically, even if it was going to put Roman in Virgil’s bad graces for a little while. It wasn’t like it’d be all that big a difference, to be fair, since Virgil definitely still kinda sorta hated Roman on some level. No amount of insisting from Damien would convince Roman otherwise. Despite the fact that they’d been dating for nearly a year now (with even more time as each other’s closest rivals), Virgil still had yet to warm up to Roman. He wasn’t sure what he’d done to deserve the dagger-filled glares, to be honest, but Roman was nothing if not resilient! 
(And charming, in case you forgot. He’d worm his way into Virgil’s heart eventually!) 
“confetti cannon gone wrong” really didn’t even begin to cover the premise of Roman’s video. Listen, though, you don’t just find a pretty pink confetti cannon slash gun at the thrift store and not buy it. He’d checked online afterwards and found that they ran well over two hundred dollars and this one had only cost him fifty! The best part was that it actually worked. After he and Patton had cleaned up that mess, Roman had video called Damien and… Alright, well, between you and me, this really had all been Roman’s original idea. He wasn’t one to half-ass his vlogs but if asked, surely it had been done before by some other popular Youtuber, and look Virgil, it wasn’t all him, he’d just been inspired!
“What if I shoot Virgil with a confetti cannon? I’ll even get it in purple and black!”
Damien normally had a very good poker face but apparently the idea of messing with his brother had peaked his interest. Roman swooned at the grin that lit up his boyfriend’s face. “That is a terrible idea. Let’s do it and see what happens.” 
Which led them here, cameras hidden in Virgil’s room to capture every glorious second. It’d have to be quick, Damien had said, because Virgil was far too aware of his surroundings for them to successfully sneak around for long. Making the executive decisions to skip classes that day, Damien and Roman cleared enough space in Virgil’s closet for Roman to hide in. It was significantly more difficult to make sure there was enough room for the confetti cannon, but they managed. Somehow. Let’s chalk it up to the fact that they’re both dangerously creative. 
If Virgil was suspicious of Damien being home on a day he’d normally have rehearsal, he didn’t say anything about it. If anything, it was the fact that Damien was filming in the kitchen. Nothing good ever came from Damien’s vlogs. Virgil shuddered just thinking about the sibling tag video they’d done last year. Sure enough, the moment Virgil was kicking his shoes off in the entryway, Damien was sidling up beside him.
“Oh dearest brother, won’t you tell my darlings what antics you’ve been up to lately?” Damien asked, practically simpering. 
Virgil squinted at him before turning the distrustful stare towards the camera. “You know, the usual. Putting the fear of God into freshies, inciting agitation in my professors for being opinionated, hacking Lyft reviews and fixing driver ratings if they got one star just for ‘not smiling enough.’ Nothing new.”
“Truly, a man of the people.” 
Virgil rolled his eyes. 
“And how’s starboy?” 
Damien delighted in the way his brother went red at the simple mention of his crush. 
“I’M GOING TO MY ROOM,” he announced loudly, disappearing from the frame so quickly, he might as well have been a cryptid avoiding being caught on tape. 
Which… isn’t entirely inaccurate. 
“Too easy,” Damien said, laughing under his breath. “Now, darlings, comes the fun part.” 
Now imagine with me, if you will, cutting to Roman’s video. Virgil storming into his room, muttering things like “stupid soft hair” and “eyes like glittering constellations.” Throwing his backpack aside and then throwing himself onto his bed and screaming into a pillow. 
Roman very nearly lost his composure at the sight of normally so stoic, so edgy Virgil having a meltdown over a cute boy. He would cut this while editing, of course, it wasn’t like he needed Virgil to hate him any more, but like hell he didn’t plan on using it as blackmail in the future. 
You might be wondering, “where does the ‘gone wrong’ come in?” 
Well, nowhere in their plans had they anticipated Virgil opening the closet doors himself. Roman shooting his boyfriend’s brother was supposed to be from a distance, maybe with him sitting at his computer, or while lounging in bed. He was not supposed to have shot Virgil directly in the chest while screaming half in terror and half in shock. Virgil was not supposed to stumble backwards, trip over his backpack, and fall onto the pile of blankets and pillows he’d shoved off of his bed and onto the floor this morning. This puts him entirely out of shot, by the way, leaving the viewer wondering whether or not he’s alive.
Roman, still screaming as he scrambled out of the closet and grabbed the camera, running out of the room would not ease any worries the viewers might have. 
Of course, Roman screaming was not part of the plan either, and so Damien had some concerns. “I wonder if my brother has finally murdered my boyfriend,” he would say, perfectly casual despite the sudden racing of his heart. 
“I SHOT HIM,” Roman shouted the moment his eyes landed on Damien. “Oh my GOD, he’s DEAD.” 
Before either could say much else, Virgil came stomping into the living room. “I’m not dead but you’re about to be.” (The threat didn’t carry much weight seeing as he was covered in confetti but we won’t tell him that.) 
“Now, now,” Damien said, stifling his laughter at the fact that Roman was cowering behind him. Oh, his poor sweet brave prince. “Maybe instead, Roman could do something to make it up to you?”
“Babe!” Roman hissed. 
Virgil crossed his arms over his chest. “He could break up with you so I never have to see his stupid face ever again.” 
Damien double checked to make sure his camera was still running. He couldn’t wait to use this to humiliate Virgil in front of Logan. 
“That’s hardly fair,” Damien responded, pouting. “I love him, you know.” 
Roman squeaked. 
“He owes me Chipotle for a month.” 
“Wh-!”
“Two months.” 
“I am a broke college freshman!”  
Virgil’s raised eyebrows and his slow lifting of three fingers shuts Roman up.
“I think that’s acceptable,” Damien concurred solemnly. He looked over his shoulder at Roman. “Is that alright with you, dear?” 
For a moment, silence followed as Virgil and Roman glared at each other. Damien would interrupt with a loud, over exaggerated sigh if he wasn’t getting such a kick out of this. 
“Fine,” Roman said finally, pouting. 
“Fine,” Virgil echoed, smirking. “Still don’t like you, though.” 
“I’m perfectly likable!” Roman cried as Virgil turned and left, brushing the confetti out of his hair. 
“Yes,” Damien hummed, finally turning the camera off. He turned to his boyfriend. “I’m inclined to agree.” Kissing Roman tasted as sweet as it always did, especially when he went and carded his hand through Damien’s hair. However, it could be made better… 
“I meant it, by the way,” Damien murmured, brushing his fingers through the curls at the nape of Roman’s neck. “About loving you.” 
Ah, yes, there it was. Roman blushed, bright and pretty, stammering through at least five responses before he finally gave up and just pulled Damien back in for another kiss. He had no doubt that Roman would have his own poetic declaration figured out eventually, but for now… Well, Damien had nothing to complain about.

Thomas Sanders-Picani
The youngest! Hes 8 years old!
Our boy loves to read and write! He writes tons and tons of stories!

 His room is filled with toys and books and notebooks and pencils, and even though he tries his best to keep it clean it gets messy every week.(cleaning it is his weekly chore)
He has two best friends named Joan and Talyn that hes been friends with now since kindergarden and theyve been nearly inseperable ever since, its not uncommon for one of both of them to be at each others house on any given weekend
Hes Remy’s kid but has started calling himself by Emile’s last name too since they moved in with the Picani’s
Doesnt have too many memories of his mother but the ones he does have are all happy and pleasant(thankfully)
Calls Emile baba and Remy dada to distinguish them better
Loves his older brothers especially when they play with him, He also loves watching the old videos of Ethen’s theater performances and sometimes pesters him to reenact scenes from them( his favorite is the middle school production of ‘Alice in Wonderland’)
Ethen Picani
Our other main boy, hes also twenty one
He lives with his best and childhood friend Remus Prince in two bedroom apartment across town near the college
Does youtube full time for a living
the “black sheep” of the family as he and Remus call him 
He majored in theater in his two years of college
Loves reptiles but doesnt have any because their apartment complex doesnt allow pets and he doesnt want to get him and remus kicked out since their apartment is close to Remus’s work

He loves the old thing though 
Has a good relationship with his parents. He loves his dad Emile and he likes Remy well enough

Loves his boyfriend Virgil to death and likes to spoil him when he can(even though virgil tells him to save his money for rent)
Hes more of a open skeptic but he’ll happily debate things with Virgil, and enjoys making videos for their joint youtube channel and being proven otherwise
He also has his own solo youtube channel where he does abandon urban exploration( sometimes with Remus tagging along for the thrill)
Remus has been calling him by the nickname “Dee” since middle school when they played Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Remus called him Dee so often he made it stick as a nickname years and years later. He refuses to let it die and Ethen has just accepted his fate
Remy Sanders
Hes around Emile’s age( mid 50′s) and looks the tallest in the family at 6′3
He came into the family later, when the boys were about 20 and 18( when thomas was about 5 or so)
Hes pretty laid back but surprising good at being strict, so he balances out Emile’s parenting style
Hes a divorcee and got guardianship of Thomas, though hes on a friendly and civil relationship with thomas’s mother and takes him to visit her three times a month( theyre currently working out more visitations and possibly thomas staying with his mother a couple weeks every months but thats still in the works)
Hes an insomiac and (usually) works night shifts as a security guard for a security renting business so his working hours can be a little unpredicitble, but he almost always works at least two night shifts and graveyard shifts a week. Hes paid both a salary plus an additional commissions by employers so its well worth it
He spends as much time with his kid and the boys as he can regardless of his wonky sleep schedule
Hes a bit of a tough love kinda person, and hes snarky and mouthy and doesnt hesitate to speak his mind
Loves Emile soooo goddamn much he talks about him alot at work to his fellow security guards. Theyre the ones who helped him pick a ring when he proposed actually
Oh yeah the two are engaged did I mention that?
He fuels Emile’s plushie collecting, even if he knows he probably shouldnt( But oh well, it makes him smile and thats all he wants to see)
Looks punk now but he was the biggest straight laced prep in highschool that comparing him now to him in highschool gives you whiplash
Would fucking die for his family. No one messes with his fiance or his kids, he doesnt care if two of them are fully capable adults 
And its done!! Two of the four main families is finished!
And watch out because im also coloring these digitally(its just taking awhile :/) but those will be getting posted soon...I hope...Im trying
But here you go Virgil’s and Ethen’s families in two cute family photos!
Let me just add im so fucking proud of The Picani-Sanders photo because it was a struggle to fit them all in the picture and get the heights right and the entire side of my arm was grey with pencil lead by the time I was done but it turned out great!
Up next is Roman and Remus’s family the Princes and Logan’s family the Daniels!! 
Art references are credited to @the-pastel-peach​ @aimasup​ and @underdog-arts​ , especially @aimasup​ and @underdog-arts​ for getting 8 year old thomas to look like a kid because im not normally good at drawing little kids but after practicing with some of their art as my reference and inspiration he turned out really well!! 
I hope you guys enjoy!!

About the AU I’ll probably never write:
In the world thi story takes place in about 30% of humanity are ‘abled’ which means that they have superpowers
Abled people are often send to special schools by their parents
About 10% are ‘semi-abled’ which means that they have abilities but such extreme conditions apply for use or are dangerous, either to the user or other people
They are usually taught to repress their powers because of this
Logan was diagnosed as semi-abled at about four years old but at 12 managed to get diagnosed as abled
And while many people claim that they were misdiagnosed they insist that they weren’t
(Most people don’t understand what they mean)
However the semi-abled kids they knew before they were allowed to switch schools and shit saw this very differently from how most people did
Because... if one of us can become abled and get all these privileges from society... why shouldn’t all of us?
Teens (specially in this generation) already want to overthrow the government and these kids pretty much took this as an open invitation
Now I really don’t wnat to go into the plot too much right now (there’s a reason I don’t think I’ll ever write it) but here’s some stuff about the characters (at least the sides):
Janus; abled shapeshifter, demiboy, bisexual, made his entire familie cryptids in the eyes of the town (nobody has seen his parents in years, he changes whether his brother is older or younger than him on every possible oppertunity, there are rumours that he used to have more siblings), is extremely protective of the people he cares about (sometimes that is not a good thing)
 Remus; abled controls stone and natural fabrics, his gender is yes, homosexual, in love with Janus but Janus is as oblivious as shit, almost got expelled like three times, is in therapy because he of intrusive thoughts and anger issues
Roman; abled controls wood and plants, cis, homoromantic asexual, has a ‘secret’ relationship and meets with his boyfriend in the woods everyday at the same time (the others joke that he’s dating a nymph), also himbo rights, is somehow both a theatre kid and a jock
Patton; abled can make patronus-like animals appear, femboy, pansexual, his parents are divorced and he lives with his dad most of the time, on weekends he’s with his mom, breaks rules if he feels like they’re wrong (his father is very proud of that), he has a huge crush on Logan (tall, hot, smart, will put assholes in their places? Patton is weak)
Logan; semi-abled/abled telepath (semi-abled due to strong migranes and nausa as result of use), agender (they/them), demiromantic asexual, has two moms and one dad (polyamory), they have imposter syndrom since they don’t feel like they should be legally abled
Virgil; semi-abled can fulfill wishes (semi-abled due to near-lethal physical harm as result of use), ftm transgender, queer, Janus’ brother and Roman’s boyfriend (doesn’t know that they know eachother), one of the few times he used his powers he made everyone who knew him forget his dead name
A bunch of other characters such as Emile and Remy (boyfriends), the Dragonwitch, Dice, Elliot, Andy, Anton, Sun and Moon and a lot more also play roles but this post is already very long

Roman’s Cryptid Boyfriend
-
-
My dumbass came up with a new au, and if you all like it enough I’ll give you some info, and/or make it into an ask blog of sorts.
Au Plot-
Roman Kingsley was born August 14th, 1995, and has spent his entire life with the apparition. It took him all the way until grade school to realize he was the only one who could see the apparition, which he had dubbed Stormy.
Stormy started out as a small puff of pitch black smoke, but as Roman grew, so did the odd cryptid. It grew legs and arms, horns and whispy puffs of hair. Roman learned to like the apparitions presence, and would spend nights talking to it.
Eventually, Stormy learned to speak, it’s English dark and gravelly, broken. It sounded like whistly wind, the raps of rustling branches.
It started as a joke, Roman proclaiming that Stormy was now his boyfriend, pretending to throw his arms around the apparition and kiss it on the cheek. Stormy seemed to take him seriously tho, and would now dote over Roman relentlessly.
Shenanigans ensue, and when Stormy shows signs of being more sentient than Roman originally realized, the young adult rethinks the whole “joking” part of their arrangement.
After watching a ghost hunter show on YouTube, Roman decides to try it out, he and Stormy leaving to explore an “abandoned” mansion. There, they find a band of unlikely creatures.
Now Roman has to juggle around his life of school, theater, and hiding a house full of monsters from his brother and parents.
Yikes.

Gift #3
Gift for @do-you-promise​
Prompt:  Intrumas, Cryptid AU. (Note: this is just chapter 1 - more of this story will be posted after the name reveal in January!)
Thomas had never wanted to be a fisherman.
That was it. That was the statement. He had never wanted it and he did not enjoyed it. His whole family was full of them, he always thought that they could spare him and let him get into an adventure, all on his own, making his own choices. Obviously his father had hated that idea.
“All of the Sanders’ men had been Fishermen” He stated, clearly not giving Thomas a way out and shutting his idea down of going anywhere else “It’s the family business, the town needs us to get the fish and the exchanges with the other ports. It’s a honorable job”
He had fought back, saying that it was not the job he was running (even though it was) but that he wanted to create something of his own as his grandparents had done with their business (even though it was definitely not). But his father kept saying no to him. Every plead, every question, even every suggestion, those were shut down.
Never in an aggressive way, never making him feel less, but there was always a no.
So Thomas had taken the job.
  It wasn’t all that bad, he got to spend time with his brother, Logan, every day, and even if he had a home and person to come back and Thomas not, Logan never made him feel bad or less. 
They were almost the same age. Logan just being two years older than him. Logan was taller and slimmer, he used glasses and he combed his hair every single day to go to work. Thomas had always thought that he would choose another job, something other than fisherman, just like him, but he didn’t. Logan was the best his family had seen when in school, their parents even payed for him to go to college and study administration to help with all the numbers and movements of their job, but in the end Logan stood by his side.
When he came back from college and saw Thomas, who had decided that if he was not studying any kind of science, then college was not for him, working in the port with the nets to go fish, he had decided to work with him above the boats. He had given the excuse of wanting to do some “field work” before being confined to a desk, and their parents got as excited as they could have get.
A year and 9 months later, Logan got married to his college boyfriend, Damien Menti, and then they were living together. Logan started to work part time inside the offices and the other time outside in the boats with Thomas and the crew.
Thomas was glad that Logan stood by his side. He knew that Logan hated the boats and the smell of the raw fish, but he still went at least 3 days a week to be a moral support to Thomas. And he was always going to be glad for that.
Thomas was the complete opposite of everything Logan was. Messy, with few aspirations, not much in the school department. Lonely.
His family was great, and he knew that he could always count on them if he needed something. Even Damien had become a essential part of their family, he always tried to help Thomas with whatever he needed, the man even tried to persuade his father to let him get a year of off work, to let him see the world. His father of course hadn’t liked the idea and, as everything, shut it down, but Thomas was glad than at least Logan’s husband hadn’t been bad at all.
That didn’t mean that he was close-close with any other than his brother.
The crew in the boats was another story completely. Thomas barely even talked to them, least of all if he was alone without Logan. They were extended family, sure, uncles, aunts. cousins, but he didn’t know them. Logan wasn’t a social person either, he was probably worse at socializing than he was, but at least he knew what to say and how to make sure that everyone was doing their job as they should.
Someday, when his father retired, Thomas was going to be the one that had to lead the crew. And in that day he only hoped that the earth swallowed him whole and let anyone else do the job that he was going to suck at.
“Thinking about your misery again?” Logan came from behind him, putting a hand on his shoulder and taking him out of his trance.
The water, the ocean, the blue. Thomas only wished he was watching it on a ship towards adventure, not when he was waiting for the nets to pick some fish.
“I just don’t like this” Thomas hadn’t meant it to sound as a whine, but honestly? he didn’t care right now.
“Does anyone?” Logan smirked at him and Thomas rolled his eyes.
“Have I presented you my dad?” Thomas said while straightening up “Fish are beautiful and magnificent beings. We need to be careful with them, even if they’re food and we kill them, they still need to live in their habitat. We’re like their natural prey, maintaining the order in their ecosystem where-”
“Oh God, cut it out!” Logan started laughing and shifting his eyes to the other side of the boat, where their father and one of his uncles where talking about new ways and positions where they could fish “He really enjoys this, doesn’t he?”
“I sometimes think that maybe he was forced to work on this just as us, and then I hear him talking about the powerful ways of the banks of fish, and everything’s back to normal”
Logan chuckled and went to grab a second net from the pile that was thrown in the boat and Thomas turned to see the ocean again. They had been there for almost four hours and only one of the boats had gotten a bunch of fishes.
It was weird, usually the boats caught fish faster than this.
Thomas found himself daydreaming again. Thinking in an adventure when they had to go get back all the fishes, who were kidnapped by and evil shark or something.
Thomas chuckled to himself, 30 years old, fisherman, daydreaming like a kid. Everyone needed some amusement from time to time, right?
“Thomas help me set the net!” Logan shouted.
“Coming!” Thomas yelled back, breathing the smell of salt water and preparing mentally for another 2 hours of waiting to fish something.
And when Thomas turned around, he had to turn back again to face the water. Because he could have swore he saw green tentacles swimming away from the boat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Why were you on the chore again?”
Remus always thought that Roman had a stick up his ass, all day, and not in the nice way.
He had never liked Remus going near humans. Usually saying things like “they don’t like us” and “many of us had died at their hands”. Remus didn’t say that it was fake, that Roman only said those things to him to scare him from the human world, but he did call bullshit to not even being able to study them.
There had also been a couple of humans that had actually seen Remus and had also run away screaming at his sight (being half octopus usually made people have that reaction). But he didn’t care! He was good, and if he could inflict some terror on a couple of humans, then they wouldn’t dare mess around with him. It was that easy.
Of course Roman didn’t saw it that way.
Mermans and mermaids like him had it worse.
Fishermen usually liked hunting for them as a matter of pride. Showing people the scales of a beast that had escaped their hands, half fish, half human. Remus had listened to some humans talk about it on the late nights that they explored the oceans.
They never got to really caught any of their people, usually they harmed them bad enough to kill them, but magic was on their side. Mermans and mermaids weren’t the most magical beings on the ocean, they were actually considered one of the weakest.
Intelligent? Yes. Strongest? Not so much.
But they still had tricks under their sleeves, and even if humans had had sightings of them, they usually managed to escape. Not always survive, but escape.
So Roman didn’t like Remus getting near them. He knew that Remus could defend himself, his octopus half permitted him more access to magic than to a merman, but he said that it was still dangerous.
“Remus” Roman called him again, when he noticed that Remus wasn’t planning on answering.
“They never see me, Roman” Remus sometimes thought that Roman was just too scared to just grow up and stand their ground “And, even if they did, it’s not something that I can’t handle”
“You don’t know that”
“Oh, only because you don’t know that dear brother doesn’t mean that I don’t know my own capacities” Remus smirked and turn to go to his home.
“I don’t want you dead Remus, is my job to protect everyone under my power”
Roman was not wrong.
Their father had been one of the best kings the ocean had ever seen. He had also been a merman, married to a mermaid. Roman and Remus had born the same day, twins of the ocean, but neither of their parents ever knew why they had had a merman and a cecaelia as their sons. Cecaelias were not usual, their people claimed them to mean destruction and death. So they hid Remus from the public eye, still raising him as his own, but never telling anyone that they had more than one son.
So the throne and palace went to Roman when their parents died, and Remus, who didn’t want to be confined to live on the palace the rest of his life, found a cave and made it his own.
He had been planning on just escaping. He had hated his parents for locking him inside the castle. Not being able to interact with nothing more than the servants that had pled loyalty to the royal family, it had been torture for him. So when they finally died, and he decided to just live on his own, he was ready to turn his back to the place that had never been his home.
But Roman had asked him to not go. They had been close. Granted there had been a couple of years when Remus couldn’t even stand to be near the prodigy son, but with time he understood that it had never been Roman’s fault, and when they were little they used to play all the time together. So he accepted to stay as long as he could live at the outsides of the kingdom.
It was better for everyone after all.
“Good thing that I don’t even live here, your Majesty” Remus said mockingly, before swimming to the kitchen of the palace, ready to escape through one of the back doors.
People that lived in the palace and knew about Remus never really cared about him. They just turn their eyes to the other side when he passed, and, when they thought that Remus wasn’t looking, they made a small pray to Poseidon, to purify them from the evil that was Remus and what he represented.
So Remus was fine going to the chore and look at humans. If humans looked back at him in terror, it was not something that he wasn’t used to by now.
However, he was going back again that night. He liked one specific view that appeared around midnight.

"I met him on the way here he was talking about seeing his brother but he will be coming in later." Patton smiles.
Logan sighs. "Just promise me you won't freak out."
Cryptid AU
“Hey Pat, you sure you wanna talk to Roman before your talk with Logan?” Virgil asked as he and his brother were walking towards the bar. When they agreed to try and learn more about Lazarus and that talking to Roman was the best place to start he didn’t knew Patton meant right now.

Lost in the Starlight
So I decided to take the prompt challenge by @sanderssidesspook ! However, my take on the challenge will be different. There are so many great AUs in this fandom that I want to write for, so might as well hit two birds with one stone, and write a Halloween ficlet for them!! Today I’ll start with @teacupfulofstarshine LDAD AU + corn maze. Uhh, you’ll see!
Warnings: offscreen violence, swearing, implied death
Word Count: 1, 838
Pairing: Romantic Analogical 
Read on AO3!
Logan didn’t want to go on this ‘road trip’ but Roman and Patton absolutely insisted on visiting the human world. Virgil, however, wanted to stick close to the coastlines and smell the sea spray and Logan was inclined to agree. Straying so far from home made his insides twist with a feeling he didn’t understand.
Unfortunately, Thomas needed to go inland for a conference. Something about a scientific meeting about rising coastlines and the implementation of hydroelectricity on a national scale. Human stuff.
His pod practically begged to go with Thomas, but after their traumatic parting three years ago, Logan couldn’t stay behind. So Virgil grudgingly decided to come with, as their tour guide, since Thomas would be preoccupied with meetings.
Virgil dropped Thomas off in a place with glittering mountains. He’s never seen them so tall and square. His fins rippled in excitement at the order of it all. In the streets, there were lights strung up through the trees and creatures that had him ducking down out of sight. He thought Virgil said there were no other creatures who had claws as Logan did. Or was he lying?
Fake.
Logan mulled over the word as he squinted at the fake creatures. Virgil still giggled as they drove through the dark trees. He explained it all punctuated with muffled laughter. Halloween, what an odd word. 
His own smile tugged upwards. He would never tire of the sound of his mate’s laugh. Beautiful as the pearls in seashells. Roman and Patton squealed as their fins rippled as if in a storm as more creatures walked through the streets of the small town.
Their claws were fake. Plastic teeth and temporary makeup all for the purpose of a holiday. Whatever that is. Logan hissed as a small one with fangs and a black cape walked too close. It startled and ran off. Roman and Patton laughed. Almost like they enjoyed the feeling of fear. Logan rolled his eyes, then again, Roman was the one who often dove into the deep end without looking.
“Oooh, what’s that?” Patton pointed over Virgil’s shoulder, as Virgil yelped in surprise and almost yanked the wheel into the opposite lane.
Logan squinted at it in the darkness. It was a sign written in English with a giant yellow object above it. He dug his claws further into his sweater, his eyes worked far better underwater, up here they were useless. Glasses irritated his scales but he wore them anyway. Tch, he couldn’t protect his pod like this. What could he do? Flop around and squint?!
A hand tugged on his own, gently prying his claws out of his sweater, and squeezed. Logan met Virgil’s eyes, the same color as the world outside, brown and soft as the ground outside. The fist of icy anger in his chest melted.  
“It’s a sign for a corn maze,” Virgil said, excitement creeping into his tone, “They’re more popular around Halloween. I forgot that they had them here,” Virgil scratched his head, almost embarrassed as he admitted, “Corn mazes are one of the few cool things we have inland. You can’t exactly float up and over it like your reed farms.”
Logan’s face warmed as Virgil turned to him with a smile as the backseat chanted, “Yes, I would love to see a ‘corn maze’. It sounds...interesting.”
So, really it was his own fault.
Logan stared up at the stars and shivered under the coolness of the moonlight. The rustle of the corn like a steady heartbeat in his ears. The ground roiled with movement and scratching his poor eyesight couldn’t pick up. For all he knew, a shark could be circling him.
Virgil had given him and the others a wheelchair with a specially designed pouch for their tails. Then heavy blankets over their laps to keep their tails warm and covered. However, he hadn’t realized how hard it would be to push against the uneven grass and roots of the corn. Roman and Patton went on ahead, Logan encouraged Virgil to catch up, and he never did.
And so, he spent the better part of an hour utterly and hopelessly lost.
“It’ll be fun, they said,” Logan muttered as sweat dripped down his temples, pushing his wheels forward on the small path, “It’s not even a big maze, they said. Well, bullshit.”
With a grunt, he rolled into a clearing.
Logan blinked around the flattened circle of grass. Was this the center? He sighed a breath of relief as his wheels didn’t squeal in protest. Even ground, how I missed you! He looked up and bit down on a scream.
A man hung from a post with his arms out and his legs limp. A big hat, much like the farmers here, hung low on his head. He didn’t know it was a human practice to hang their dead in the middle of corn mazes. Logan rolled forward as he squinted up at it. He took in a hard sniff.
Straw and dirt.
Not the rot of flesh and bone.
Logan tilted his head as he remembered Virgil’s huff of laughter from earlier. Fake. This man must be one of those costumed creatures walking out there tonight. Logan raised up a hand to touch it when--
“Whoa there, pardner,” a deep voice drawled, Logan snapped his hand back, “Awfully rude to touch me without even introducing yourself first.”
Logan looked up and his gills stuttered in surprise. The scarecrow had a face underneath its dark brim. The eyes were crossed black stitches and its mouth hung open with yellow teeth that reminded him of the sea snakes in the shallows. Sharp and thin and too many to fit in its stuffed head. Logan raised an eyebrow, he could’ve sworn the creature had a stitched mouth earlier.
“Oh excuse me,” Logan said as he smoothed his hands down his lap, “My name is Logan. I apologize. Your culture is still new to me.”
Silence echoed through the yawning fields for a few moments.
The man cackled, its whole body rocked the pole with the force of it. Logan dug his claws into the metal armrests. It was the truth!
“For a creature concerned with my rudeness, you don’t consider your own,” Logan snarled, “I should hope to learn your name in retaliation.”
“No, it’s just funny, I’m not human either,” the man giggled, the sound made his fins itch to propel himself far and fast, “And my name, sir? Why it’s been so long,” it looked up at the moonlight, “Call me Scarecrow.”
“You’re wrong! I’m a human!” Logan shouted up to it.
Scarecrow slowly looked down at him, “No, you’re not. I can smell the sea right off ya. I’ve never had fish in so long…” its mouth opened to an impossible length, as rows of teeth caught the moonlight, “I’ve kept all the crows away. Away, away, little birdies! Why I’m a little hungry now after my hard work.”
Shit.
Scarecrow smiled as it jostled in its post again. He could tell the jig was up. Logan couldn’t hide the truth from another….creature. A different species of other Scarecrows? He shoved the questions aside about the cruelty of humans stringing something alive in their fields.
Logan wheeled back, “You won’t find me easy prey. I’m a formidable predator myself,” Logan bared his teeth as his eyes glinted in the moonlight, “Sharks have met messier ends at my hands.”
Scarecrow’s smile disappeared, “You’re out of your fishbowl, little goldfish.”
Logan bristled and opened his mouth when--
Wood splintered and cracked like a thunderclap in the hushed fields. Logan thrust his arms up against the blast. Wood debris bounced off his arms but tore his sweater into rags. Damn it, Thomas gave him this one for ‘Christmas’. Logan squinted into the darkness, ears straining for any sound, any foot fall.
Up high above the fields stood a lonely post.
And no Scarecrow.
A guttural snarl cut the night as a gaping maw of teeth overcame his vision. The wheelchair clattered against the ground, wheels spinning uselessly in their sockets, blankets sodden against the dirt. Blood splattered the homemade designs of stars and planets. Splatters of red against the milky blue of Neptune. Ripping and snarls echoed through the air.
Then silence.
The corn rustled indifferently, the reeds whispering against each other, as the fireflies danced above the maze. Flowers bloomed drinking in the cool moonlight, petals delicately held up to its pale face. Mice twist and turn in their homes as they slept. Then blink one beady eye open as footsteps stomped through the quiet peace of the evening.
“Logan!” Virgil shouted, his voice crackling after screaming himself near hoarse, “Where are you?!”
Flashlights swept through the corn stalks. The murmur of people and the static of radios. Virgil ran a hand through his sweat-drenched hair. It only took the others to find the center and get back out again in twenty minutes. Not...not two hours! Shit, he’s heard stories of people going missing or even found dead in corn mazes.
He wanted to curse his own stupidity. It could stand to reason that if mermaids existed, why not others? Flashbacks of Bigfoot and Wikipedia rabbit holes of various cryptids ran through his mind. If he found a Child of the Corn, he’ll be drop-kicking them before Thomas can break out the lollipops.
He wanted his fucking boyfriend back.
Virgil pushed aside the stalks to the center of the maze. He’s swept this place so many times in the past two hours. Like every ten minutes but he never saw hide nor hair of the missing mermaid. The police chattered into their radios but the sound grew distant.
Virgil’s flashlight landed on a straw-covered mass next to a knocked over wheelchair. He tore out into a run as he made a strangled noise of Logan! Virgil muttered curses as Logan blinked blearily up at him. Blood trickled down his temple and faint scratches down his arms. Virgil swore bloody murder as he saw ripped fins up and down his arms.
“My….tail…” Logan said, his voice strained with the effort, “The others…”
Virgil looked down and red mist overcame his vision. More ripped fins and long red scratches like someone jabbed a knife and went to town on his boyfriend. Virgil pulled Logan into a hug, relief overcoming his anger and fear for a brief moment, reveling in the fact he was alive.
“Don’t you know?” Virgil huffed out a hysterical laugh, “It’s Halloween night. They’ll think it’s a realistic costume,” then in a lower voice as the others came close to the center, “God, Lo, what even happened? I walked through here and every inch of this maze for two hours,” his voice wobbled with choked back tears, “Where did you go?”
Logan blinked and then pointed a claw at a mess of fabric, “I met Scarecrow.”
Virgil looked at the dark lump and then back at Logan, “What are you talking about? There’s never been a scarecrow here. It’s just a corn maze.”
“Well, there isn’t one anymore.”

“and here i was starting to think you’d forgotten all about little old me.” 
“aww, virgil, i could never forget about you!” virgil allows himself to grin at patton’s cheery voice. he has a reputation to maintain as the fbi’s resident computer cryptid, he can’t let people know that he has a soft spot for his boyfriend of several years. 
“hey there, pat.” 
“i’m putting you on speakerphone, okay?” 
“awwww, don’t you wanna be alone with me?” virgil teases. 
“virgil!” patton squeaks. “behave!” 
“or what, you’re gonna spank me?” silence from the other end. 
“virgil, you are my brother and i love you, but i do not think this is information i need to know about you.” logan’s quiet deadpan sends him spiraling into fits of laughter, and he can hear roman laughing from the other end and patton’s flustered stammering. 
“we called you for a reason, virgil,” thomas says, and he sounds amused but there’s something serious underneath it. “we need you to do some research.” 
“research is my specialty, boss man! request away.” virgil cracks his fingers, rolls his head around once, and settles his eyes on the screen. “if it’s on the internet, i will find it.” 
“how many different plumbing companies are there in this town?” thomas asks. virgil’s fingers fly across the keyboard. 
“there are nine, which in my humble opinion is far too fuckin’ many.” 
“how many employees are there?” 
“collectively? around a hundred and three.” 
“how many are male?” 
“um …” virgil pulls up one of his many, many, many list filters. “around ninety-eight. wow, sexist industry much?” 
“focus, virgil,” thomas prompts. “how many have prior arrest records?” 
“that would be seventeen. the list is on your phones right now, and i promise i’ll keep digging!” 
“you’re the best, batman,” roman says. “i know, princey. catch me a serial killer, okay?” 
“you got it! logan, let’s -” roman’s voice fades as patton takes him off speakerphone. 
“thanks, sweetheart,” patton says. virgil pretends that he isn’t blushing at the nickname and fails miserably. “we’ll call you if we need anything else, alright?” 
“will you call me if you don’t need anything?” virgil asks. patton’s laugh crackles over the phone speaker. 
“god, i miss you,” patton sighs. virgil knows the sentiment well. they’ve been out on a case for almost a week now, and virgil’s been in the batcave the entire time. he has a small couch and a go-bag in his office, so he’s been catching catnaps where he can and waiting for news from his team. from what they’re telling him, it’s been a particularly rough case with a particularly dangerous criminal. 
“i miss you, too,” virgil says. “have you been sleeping?” 
“as much as i can. you?” 
“eh, you know me. the batman never sleeps.” 
“virgil.” 
“relax, pat. i’m catching catnaps on the couch whenever possible, okay?” 
“you need real sleep, virgil.” virgil runs the silver chain around his neck between his fingers as he pulls it out to examine the pendant. it’s a small silver batman symbol, a gift from patton on their one-year anniversary. 
“i need my family to come home to me safe and alive.” patton doesn’t answer right away; virgil doesn’t usually express such sentiments so blatantly. 
“we will,” patton says. “i promise, virgil, we’ll come home.” 
“i love you,” virgil whispers. patton laughs, once, softly. 
“i love you.” *~*~*~*~*“virgil, does anyone fit those parameters?” 
“just one, his name is ryan gillsworth, and he lives at -”
“2344 ashwood road - shit!” roman swears. 
“what?” roman doesn’t answer. “roman, answer me, right now!” 
“we split up to check different addresses, and that -” 
“roman, you need to tell me the goddamn truth. which one of you is at that psychopath’s house?” 
“patton,” roman says, voice grim. “virgil, i have to go. we’ll see you soon.” 
“roman, wait!” but roman’s already hung up. virgil worries the batman pendant between his fingers and debates calling patton or logan or calling roman back. but he can’t do that, because it would just put them in more danger. so he sits there, surrounded by his computers, and he waits. 
he’s nodded off against the desk when the door opens, and he jumps up immediately. patton is standing in the doorway, go bag at his feet, face drawn and tired but whole. there’s a bruise on his cheek, and virgil scrambles forward to cup his face and run one thumb over the bruise. “god, pat, are you -”
“he hit me once,” patton says. “but i’m okay.” 
virgil hugs him, not caring if anyone sees. “the others?” 
“they’re okay. we caught him, virgil.” 
virgil kisses patton, careful of the bruise on his cheek, and when he pulls back patton carefully traces the sleepless circles below his eyes with a sad smile. “i think it’s time to sleep,” he says. virgil nods. 
“sleep.” 
logan comes by the batcave to see his brother, as he does every time he returns from a case, and finds him passed out on the couch, held against patton’s chest. patton, too, is half-asleep, but he smiles at logan, who gently ruffles his brother’s hair before closing the door. roman is waiting, leaning against the wall. “is batman finally sleeping?”
“it would appear so,” logan sighs. roman wraps an arm around his waist and kisses him. logan leans back. “thomas might kick us off the team if he receives one more pda complaint.” 
“half of those are from virgil and he’s got no right to talk anyway,” roman grumbles. “pleeeaaaase, lo?” 
logan rolls his eyes, but he kisses roman anyway. 
(I HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED, MY FRIEND!! I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!)
