This is for the self shippers whose self ship story doesn't start out all lovey dovey. This is for flawed f/os, grieving, ugly, angry, and mean ones. The ones who step on your feet, the ones who talk over you, the ones that boss you around, the cold hearted ones. This one is for the hurt feelings, the sadness or the forced docility. This one is for those whose f/os took a while to get around.
For whatever circumstance, they do. They do look you in the eyes and they apologize. Of course words won't fix all wounds. But they mellow out, they try mending wounds they themselves caused, they own up or grieve those words. Every time you cry internalizing what they said previously they do everything to fix or to mold into something positive. They want you to associate their words now with apology. With love. With admiration. With care.
They lay awake with you thinking of new days and memories to fold over the hurtful ones. The days where they were so callous but now they're dedicated to changing and improving. Their hugs feel protective and whole, to shield you from even themselves.
The hurt can't be erased but your f/o is trying, trying so so so hard to let you know they're getting better and that they'll love you better.
šŸ“šŸ“ PROSHIP DNI šŸ“šŸ“
THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT ROMANTICIZING ABUSE. THIS IS ABOUT TRYING TO HEAL PAST HURT, BUT ALSO LIVING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF PAST HURT.

The End of the World as We Know It | Annie, Don't be Shy Here, Annie, Please Don't Cry Here
Warnings: 18+, show typical violence, child death, angst, small panic attack
Post Prison Daryl x Loveday fluff.
Annie by SafetySuit | Banner By @saradika-graphics | Dividers by @firefly-graphics
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When the prison falls, she doesn't want to run, but her bus is full of much-needed supplies, and when she finds a group of kids separated from the rest of the group, she has no choice.
She lost Beth and Daryl a while ago, and she takes one last look before tearing out of there, four kids holding on for dear life in the back.
They find the other bus first, watching the living dead shuffle around inside as they drive slowly by.
She tries her best to keep them together, but when the engine overheats and she stops to try and fix it, the eldest, Jordan, wanders off on his own. She doesn't even notice he's gone until she hears him screaming in the woods.
Then the youngest, Marcus, knocks into a car that had been claimed by bees. There's nothing she can do to stop his death, it happens quickly and horrifically due to his allergy.
The bus gives up for good when they finally make it to Terminus, and the people there don't even try with niceties when she walks in, holding Connor and Miranda's hands protectively.
She fights viciously when they try to take them, but is overpowered and separated from them.
She's curled in the far corner of the train car when they hear gunfire outside. People are shouting, muffled by the metal, but everything sounds like it's underwater to her.
She's glad to see Glenn, Maggie, Bob and Sasha, but losing the kids breaks something in her.
She looks up when four more people file in, unsteady on her feet as she stands, stepping closer behind Glenn.
It takes him a moment to adjust to the darkness, but her name is the first thing out of Daryl's mouth when he sees her, "Loveday?"
"Daryl," She moves quicker than she thought she could, slamming into him with a hug.
His arms wrap around her head and shoulders, holding her close when she starts crying.
He'd been sure she died back there, that Kris or Harper had driven off in the bus, but here she is, beaten and a little bruised, but alive.
"Guess she had a hell of a time getting here," Sasha says at his confused look. He's never seen her cry like this before, "Lost two kids on the way and they took the others when they got here."
"Shit," He pulls her closer when she hiccups, nails digging into the back shoulders through his jacket. His hand tangles in her hair, not missing that she doesn't have her hat.
She clings to him like he's her last lifeline and he let's her, clinging right back.
It's late into the night when she finally speaks. She's sat next to him on the floor, her shoulder pressed against his.
"I couldn't find them," She whispers, "Kristy and Harper... There was so much going on I... I had to get the kids out."
He doesn't say anything, hanging on her every word and shuddering breath.
"Jordan and Marcus... there was nothing I could-" The words catch in her throat, "I tried. Then when we got here they took Connor and Miranda, I- I fought back but..."
She presses the heels of her hands against her eyes, trying to stop the tears from coming.
"I left my best friends for dead, two kids died, two more're god knows where, and on top of all of it my bus fuckin' died! "
"You did your best."
"My best fucking sucks."
"The world fuckin' sucks," He frowns, "It was jus' you and four kids? The fact you got two of 'em here is pretty damn good."
"It was jus' me'n Beth an' I still couldn't get both of us this far," He goes on, letting her take his hand in hers, "She was there one minute then... then she was just fuckin' gone."
She squeezes his hand, but doesn't say anything. He tenses slightly when he feels her rest her head on his shoulder, her other hand wrapping around his bicep, keeping herself close.
He relaxes after a moment, free hand settling on hers on his arm.
"When was the last time y'slept?" He asks.
"I dunno," Her cheek squishes against his shoulder, "At least a couple days... I'd puke if there was anything in my stomach."
He hums and she sits up when he pulls his arm free, "Should try'n get a couple hours then."
He slips his arm around her shoulders and pulls her into his chest.
She's out in minutes between the way he pets her hair and the warm feeling she gets from being around him.
It's a few hours before dawn when he finally tries to wake her.
"Hey," He gently shakes her shoulder, "C'mon, time t'get up, princess."
Her nose scrunches and she curls closer to him.
"Don't," She mutters, "t's what my shitty ex used t'call me."
"Oh yeah?" He scowls at the thought, "'ll have'ta think'a somethin' better."
They start scraping together weapons out of whatever they have on them.
"Hey," He sees her hanging back, a nervous look on her face, "We're gonna make it out'a this, okay?"
She nods and he moves to hold the back of her head, "You stick near me, alright?"
"Yeah."
"That's ma'girl," He pulls her close to kiss the top of her head, "Yer gon' be fine."
She panics when they come to after the smoke grenade and he's not there.
She slides back against the wall and grips her legs, her breathing becoming fast and shallow. She doesn't want to die here, she doesn't want to lose anyone else she cares about, but no matter what she does it all keeps going to hell.
"Hey," Michonne kneels next to her, "Come on, you need to breathe."
"I can't-"
"You can and you will," She argues and Loveday just shakes her head.
"I can't keep doing this," She whimpers, "Losing people."
Her voice falls to a whisper, as though she's afraid to even admit it, "I can't lose him."
"You won't," She says. She doesn't know that, how could she? Daryl could already be dead for all she knows. But it's what Loveday needs to hear right now, "But right now you need to take a deep breath and get ready to fight your way out of here, you understand me?"
The gunfire around them gets louder and suddenly the door to the car is thrown open and Rick yells at them to fight their way to the fence.
Daryl tosses her a knife with the sliver of wood she's using snaps off in a walker's head, staying close to her just in case. He helps her over the fence and grabs her arm when he lands next to her, dragging her along with him into the woods.
"Daryl-" She gasps when they've gone a decent way, the two of them a bit ahead of the group, "Daryl, slow down. I can't-"
As if on cue, she trips over the terrain, pulling him to a stop.
He helps her back to her feet, letting her use him for support as she catches her breath and the others catch up.
"You alright?"
"I will be," She says between heavy breaths.
She jumps when someone throws themself around her. She looks at them with wide eyes before hugging them back.
"Fucking hell, Kris!" She exclaims and Harper joins in. In the chaos, she didn't even realize they were there, "Harp, I- I thought you were dead!"
"You'll have to try harder to get rid of us," Kris laughs through tears.
"It's so good to see you," Harper squeezes them tight, "The thought of ever having to tell Woods we lost you was terrifying."
"What about Connor and Miranda?" She sniffs, looking around them.
"We never saw them," Kris says, reaching out for her when she she steps back, looking distraught, "We didn't even know they were there."
"No." Daryl catches her when her legs give out, pulling her back against his chest as a sob rips through her, "Fuck, no!"
"I've got'ya," He mutters into her hair, holding her tight as she cries, "Yer gon' be alright. Yer gon' make it through."
He knows she was close to the kids before all this and could usually be found teaching them new games to run around and play when she wasn't doing runs. Miranda especially, she'd said she reminded her of her cousin. Hell, she's like a big kid herself when she's with them.
"FUCK!"
He holds her tighter, his chest clenching.
She inhales sharply and stills, suddenly sounding less devastated, "I'm okay... I'm okay."
He's hesitant to let her go, half scared she'll do something stupid, "You sure?"
"No," She admits, smiling at him weakly, her cheeks blotchy red and tear-stained, "But I'll manage."
Once they regroup and gear up, he feels her hand find his. Despite the horror of everything that's happened in recent days, she's so happy to see him, to have him within reach.
They weren't exactly an item when shit hit the fan, but the fact he doesn't pull away now is enough to show her they were well on their way.
He watches her worry her bottom lip out of the corner of his eye, and squeezes her hand, a silent check in as they go, content when she squeezes back.
Tumblr media
She sits next to him on the floor of the church, her feet resting across his lap.
There's something oddly intimate about the way she drapes herself over him. She smiles, the first he's seen from her in a while, it's nice.
"Oh, yeah," He shuffles to pull something from his back pocket, "Found somethin'a yours."
He holds out the gold chain, white porcelain heart dangling in the warm light.
"I thought-"
"Saw it on the bitch at the grill 'n made 'er hand it over."
She takes his face in her hands and kisses him.
"Thank you!" She kisses him again, this time on the cheek, "You have no idea what this..."
He looks at her softly when she pauses, her hand resting on his chest.
He opens the chain and hooks it around her neck and watches her smile and touch the painted flowers, "It was my Gramma's."
She scoots further into his lap and slots her head between his chin and chest, pleasantly surprised when he wraps his arms around her and rests his chin on the top of her head.
"You get it when she died?"
"No she's still-..." She shifts, and sighs, "She was still alive. Gave it t'me for my birthday. She used to let me wear it when I was little."
"I thought it was gone for good." She leans her head back to look at him, "Thought I lost you too for a while."
He hums, hand moving to hold her shin when he feels her lips on his jaw.
"Stop it," He shrugs her off and she chuckles before nuzzling into his neck.
"You love it."
"Yeah, whatever."
His feigned annoyance doesn't hide his smile when he leans his cheek against her head.
Tumblr media
When it becomes evident he and Carol weren't taken by the Terminus group, her worry quells. She trusts them to be okay, they're fighters.
But as the day drags on she can feel her stomach start to twist and it doesn't take long for her to chew her fingernails down to nothing.
She's more relieved than she should be when he gets back and it takes everything she has not to throw herself at him as soon as she sees him.
She waits for a quieter moment in the night, once the group has been caught up on Beth, Carol, and Noah, to slip her arms around his waist and hide her face in his neck.
He buries his hand in her hair and they stay like that until morning.
He doesn't let her come when they go back to Atlanta despite her argument, that she's good in a fight, is a good one. He's got enough to worry about, trying to get Beth and Carol back, he'd feel better knowing she was with Michonne and the kids, keeping an eye on Gabriel and the church.
She's the first one he goes to after he lays Beth's body in the back of the fire engine. He hasn't been able to stop the tears and he just presses his forehead to her shoulder and lets her hold him.
He doesn't want to let her. Let her close, let her comfort him, let her know how much he cares about it. About all of it. But he does.
His shoulders shudder when she pulls him close, her hands trembling in his hair. She won't cry, not for a good while, even if she desperately wants to, but right now the group needs people to be strong, so she will be.
They hunker down in an office building for the night. She and Daryl sit next to each other against a wall when she finally speaks, "I wanna go get my bus."
He just looks at her.
"If we're going that far north, it's got supplies and we're gonna need another ride, cause we're not all gonna fit in that bright red eye sore," She goes on, "And... And I want my damn bus."
He nods, "Alright."
She wants her bus? He'll get her her damn bus.

corrows i am. so sorryšŸ˜­
Tumblr media
Marie bolted out of the trial home as soon as she could. Her wing were held close, blanketing her from the sight on the floor. She felt like she was hyperventilating, she didnā€™t know what would qualify as a panic attack, but this sure felt close.
Sheā€™s a bird, and like any avian, she flutters away at the first sight of adversity. Agatha followed shortly behind her, silently staring back at the boy hunched over the body.
She stumbles out, falling onto her stomach on the carpet of dead leaves that marked the road. Sickening gold light surrounded the women, an odd aura that made the mutantā€™s head spin. She heard a faint shuffling behind her as Agatha rose, and she struggled to get to her knees when the witch steps forward.
ā€œAgatha- Agatha what the hell happened in there, she-ā€œ Marieā€™s voice came quick, and she had to flap her good wing just to balance and stand.
The witch didnā€™t look back, her gaze fixated on her palm and the small violet spark finally lighting up within it.
ā€œAgatha, please- What did you do?ā€ Marie steps to her side, her brows furrowed and her dress tattered and torn. ā€œWhat did your mother mean?ā€
ā€œIā€™m sure you know what she meant,ļæ½ļæ½ Agatha quickly extinguishes the spark of magic, closing her hand and finally turning to Marie. ā€œIā€™m nothing but a monster.ā€
ā€œThat- Thatā€™s what my parents said! Nothing came out of that!ā€ Marieā€™s wings flared behind her, and she tagged along when Agatha began walking.
ā€œWell they didnā€™t mean it.ā€
ā€œWhat does that mean? Of course they did! They hated us, we- We have that in common!ā€ Marie, just as she is when anything happens, looks like a mess, ā€œYou- You probably couldnā€™t have chosen whether you absorbed her power!ā€
ā€œYou think I didnā€™t want that?ā€
ā€œYes!ā€
A few more thuds sound from behind them as the other witches retreat from the trial.
ā€œCome on, bird brain, you know why Iā€™m here,ā€ Agatha lowers her voice, finally stopping in her tracks at the sound of the other witches. ā€œWhy canā€™t I get some power back early? Sheā€™ll be fine, Iā€™m sure the Road will bring her back to haunt me.ā€
Marie shook her head quickly, reaching to hold Agathaā€™s shoulders, ā€œShe attacked you, y- You didnā€™t know what you were doing! Sweetheart you were possessed!ā€
ā€œOh donā€™t ā€˜sweetheartā€™ me!ā€ The witch snaps, whirling around to face Marie. ā€œIf you had powers, Iā€™d have them four years ago. But you donā€™t, your only power is sticking insufferably at my side and whining!ā€
ā€œThen take that power!ā€ Marie barks, her wings pressed to the side of her head, ā€œWe have something else in common, and I donā€™t care how much worse that makes us- I donā€™t care how many times youā€™ve sucked the power out of witchesā€¦ā€
Agatha raises a brow, scowling at Marieā€™s pathetic insistence.
ā€œIf you canā€™t take that power from me, Iā€™ll never stop using it.ā€
ā€œYouā€™ve served your purpose.ā€ The witch takes a small step back, crossing her arms, ā€œYou couldā€™ve left me three years ago.ā€
ā€œBut I didnā€™t, and how did you react?ā€
The remaining coven approaches, and Marie glances over Agathaā€™s shoulder before she raises her voice.
ā€œYou felt! Donā€™t think I didnā€™t see that! When that bitch clipped my wing, you felt- The night before that battle, you felt- Youā€™re human, and nothing you do or anything your mother said will convince me otherwiseā€¦ I donā€™t care if you donā€™t love me anymore, but Iā€™m not going anywhere.ā€
ok i donā€™t feel like writing it but agatha steps up to teen after and rather than trying to tease about it, she sounds pissed. ā€œyouā€™re just like your motherā€ already upset

Random but yea (Also Tw ahead!!)
Idk I just wanted to talk about this because itā€™s been on my mind and yea. Also Iā€™m just gonna shameless talk about this because I never see anyone mention $h when it comes to f/o angst or just angst in general like šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Iā€™m actually surprised Ik itā€™s ā€˜tabooā€™ subject but like Iā€™m not gonna not talk about it why should I hide it when talking about it brings such comfort to those who have struggled with it like
ANYWAYS
Idk why but yea Iā€™m like actually obsessed with Hadina angst and Hurt comfort in general like UGH šŸ˜­ and Iā€™m sorry especially if itā€™s anything with Hades comforting Rina on $h or scars and stuff it just makes me feel so good yall donā€™t get it šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ LIKE UGHHHH PLEASE PLEASE please hug that girl and hold her until she knows sheā€™s safe and loved and donā€™t let her hurt herself again ughdhdjjdjsjsjs please hold her even if sheā€™s like literally on the floor bl*ā‚¬ding, crying and shaking he would still hold her close like udhdjdjsjsjsjsjs please please please please I need this so bad šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ also Rina like randomly calling out for Hades when sheā€™s breaking down out of impulse even though she literally hates having him help her when she gets like this šŸ’—ā¤ļøļæ½ļ潚Ÿ©¹ UGHHH RINA MY BABY GO GET HIS HELP LOVE PLSLDLSKSJSJ. Also Hades rewrapping Rinaā€™s wounds with new bandages gahhhhh šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ„ŗ Theyā€™re so so so so cute (also Yes Hades secretly Cries withRina when she Rā‚¬lapses)
ALSO RAYCO ANGST SHDJDJSJJSJSK
Kuzco finding out about Rays $h and feeling so guilty for no reason at all šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ it makes him want to be a better person cuz heā€™s afraid to hurt their feelings and by extension them even though itā€™s not his fault. Kuzco holding and cuddling Ray (mostly for his sake) so that Ray is comforted. Kuzco doesnā€™t have the best understanding of $h (heā€™s in like 1100s or some shit šŸ’€) so itā€™s pretty black and white to him. So him holding Ray like that makes him feel like the problem is all fixed (he knows it wonā€™t but it inspires confidence in that šŸ˜­)
Kuzco trying his best not to cry when he sees Ray with new scars he knows damn well heā€™s never seen before. Ray trying his best to comfort him on it and telling him itā€™s not his job to take care of them even though he feels like it is. Kuzco checking in on Ray every 30 minutes just to make sure theyā€™re a-okay. Kuzco finding Ray in the bathroom and kissing every single scar until Ray feels better šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’—
OAKDHJSKSJS THATS ENOUGH ANGST DKDKJDKSKKDKK SORRY IDK THIS MADE ME FEELS BETTER SJEKKDSLSL

Okay random thing I would like to say because I never hear anyone talk about this like šŸ˜­ Iā€™m kinda suprised (Tw Ahead)
I feel like no one ever Talks about Sh when f/o comfort sure like the regular stuff can be taken vaguely but like šŸ˜­ Iā€™m kinda surprised maybe itā€™s just me but I think talking and discussing about it makes me feel better although I get that most donā€™t want to because it feels disrespectful?? Or they just donā€™t want to because it triggers them. I do understand that sh is a ā€˜Tabooā€™ subject so yea, it shouldnā€™t be and Iā€™m not really hear to say anyone has to like include it of course. I just thought it was pretty suprising. Btw Iā€™m not one of those people who have a fetish for Sh (Iā€™m literally 16 šŸ’€), I myself have struggled with it which is why talking about makes me feel better (also the weirdos that think itā€™s cool as well as the fetishā€™s(?? Idk how to spell) make it so hard to talk about :( like I feel weird even wanting comfort for it šŸ’€šŸ˜­ I shouldnā€™t feel weird for that šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ like sorry I want fictional man to come hug me when Iā€™m literally of a break down. Like so regular comfort is fine but the second I want that same old man to kiss every scar Iā€™ve ever had on me, Thereā€™s 0, not-a-one because why?? šŸ˜­ thatā€™s sweet thatā€™s what I want. No one has thought of that at all?? Like. Whereā€™s the Sh comfort at?? I need that shit badly šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ idk this is random donā€™t listen to me, I just like to see the (representation?? Is that the correct work for this? Idk feels like it?) cuz like I said itā€™s just nice to see if itā€™s handled correctly or properly
Sorry this isnā€™t a rant on anyone or anything Itā€™s more so me craving angst and comfort from fictional men. Also I may post some other things on both this and my other blog talking about other more ā€˜tabooā€™ subjects because if no one else will I might as well do it. (In a obviously well handled way because even tho Iā€™m completely bonkers Iā€™m not a fucking abomination šŸ’€)
(Btw please do not argue or Harras me over this I feel it coming already šŸ˜­šŸ˜­)
(PROSHIP DNI OR ILL FUCK UR MOMMY )

Somehow, I keep finding myself at Gamma 2ā€™s death scene.
I SWEAR itā€™s not intentionalā€¦
ā€¦
But I may as well post the angst idea I had about it.
~~
His fandom wiki states that he specifically grayed-out in color when he died because of how hot he got during his final blow. That detailļæ½ļæ½ļæ½s been echoing in my head rent free.
I can only imagine that once Gamma 2 did his big move & knocked himself out, Lavie wouldā€™ve withdrawn herself from battle and stuck by his side so she could try to revive him. She knew the battle wouldā€™ve gone well without her anyway, so that part of it wasnā€™t a big deal to her.
What was a big deal, though, was that she failed to revive him. If anything were to cause the failed revival, itā€™d probably be that she was so distressed she couldnā€™t focus, thus her own abilities were unstable. So, when she realizes nothingā€™s working, she sorta breaks a bit. She holds the poor man in her arms, muttering apologies & false hopes to fallen ears. Gamma 1 & Hedo notice this, but they also notice that her clothes are getting burns on them. Yes indeed, Gamma 2ā€™s body was still emitting heat from the attack. And it wasnā€™t just burning her clothes, it was burning through her clothes. Her skinā€™s burning a bit now.
She knows it is, she knows it hurts a bit, but she doesnā€™t want to let go.
She can use her abilities to cool the burns. Sheā€™s probably trying to, honestly. But sheā€™s still so distraught that even attempts to do that arenā€™t working properly.
I donā€™t know if this rambling describes it properly, really. I am typing all of this right before Iā€™m going to bed (and itā€™s 2 AM over here anyway-). But at least yā€™all get the idea.

Dead Serious
4/4
Danny had made peace with the fact he did not have a soulmate. He had! After several years of no response to the countless drawings and writing notes on his skin, he had grown resigned to the fact that he was part of the 5% who did not have soulmates. He was fine with that.
(Dash would tease him about how no one would ever love him, adding salt to an already irritated wound. His parents were soulmates, and he remembered when he was drawing on his fatherā€™s arms and watching as it appeared on his motherā€™s. Jazz had been drawing and writing to her soulmate for years. Her soulmates name was Jason, and she always talked about how he was with her. She was one of the few people who comforted him when he stopped drawing or writing to soulmate. )
Damien taught at an early age that there was no use for soulmates. They were only distractions. He knew grandfather had no soulmate, and his mother had never responded to her own. He never responded to the drawings on his arms notes the notes in English on his (and he didnā€™t try harder just because he wanted to read his soulmate writing that would be ridiculous.)
Damien never told his family about having a soulmate. Even as he slowly got used to the differences between them and slowly learned how his grandfather was he could never bring himself to respond to the slowly lessening drawings and messages.(He couldnā€™t bring himself to respond because deep down he knew he didnā€™t deserve a soulmate. He was a monster, a demon. He didnā€™t deserve it.)
Danny stopped trying so desperately to contact his soulmate at age 11(the age he held his sister as she cried, her soulmateā€™s last message scribbled in desperate frantic writing on her arm. He never resented his parents so much when they didnā€™t even leave the lab for two days, not paying any mind to their sobbing child on the floor above them.)(it was the first time he didnā€™t envy having a soulmate.)
He was fourteen when he started drawing on his arms again.(it was shaky, much more than the older drawings, but even if he didnā€™t have a soulmate, he wanted to leave them a mark, just in case, the same way Jazz wrote quotes from different books on her arms.)
(When he found out Vlad didnā€™t have a soulmate, he refused to acknowledge another similarity they shared. He refused to think about how Vladā€™s desperation made Danny think of his own desperate writing for his soulmate. Soulmates were a topic he never spoke of, and Vlad must have known, must have found out about how Danny didnā€™t have one, but he never commented on it. (It was the only boundary that was never crossed.))
(Damian wasnā€™t disappointed when his soulmate stopped writing to him. he didnā€™t trace over his arms, wishing that he had the confidence to write back. He didnā€™t spend hours wondering if his soulmate was gone without knowing Damian had seen him. He didnā€™t trace over the drawings his soulmate made with awe after four years of silence.)
Damian always covered up, so he was the only one who noticed when his soulmate started writing to him again. Never sentences never notes like they were before, but shaky drawings appeared on his skin. They were less detailed than before, almost shaky, as if the person drawing them couldnā€™t hold a pencil, steady, but they were real. Damian never said a word.
It was October 15 when Damien saw something on his arms that made his blood go cold. A message that he read over and over while commandeering the plane and ignoring the rest of his family yelling for him to explain himself. He desperately calibrated the jet while staring at the words, praying to a God he did not believe in that he would not be too late.(Unaware that Todd was following going in the same direction with the similar message written on his arm from a girl that Jason had deemed too good for him.)
Dear soulmate, even if you arenā€™t there. Everyone in Casper high is writing on their arms and I might as well try to warn someone. I am from Amity Park, Illinois, and we are under attack. The GIW have cut all outside communication. We are currently hiding in Casper high school, barricading the entrances, but it will not last long.
According to the government, we are not legally sentient or human. The agents outside want to dissect us, citing that we are scum. I donā€™t want to see my classmates die at the hands of my parents. I donā€™t want to see my friends and my sister die.
I donā€™t know if you are there, or if I really donā€™t have a soulmate, but I donā€™t want to die (fully) without leaving some sort of note.
My name is Danny. I love you. Iā€™m sorry.

13 with Gordon from the prompt list??
Sorry it took me so long to answer! I took a mental health day whoops-
Prompt: "I'll keep the nightmares at bay; just rest for now; I got you, I'll be here when you wake up." Warnings: It's honestly just fluffy angst but Ik not everyone adores angst so!
He awoke to the sound of quiet but heavy breathing. The barely visible sight of Cassiopeia sitting up in their homemade cot could be seen outlined in the dark. It must've been some time past midnight, four hours after they had fallen asleep.
Gordon carefully put a hand on her shoulder, which caused her to jolt slightly. "Bad night?" He asked quietly, though the cracks from just waking up raised his voice on the vowels.
The nod of her head was visible, their hand covering the one he put on their shoulder. He wrapped his arm around them, pulling his partner close. They buried their face in his shoulder, breathing become more steady.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Not right now."
He hummed in response, shifting so that Cassie was laying on top of him. "I'll keep those nightmares at bay, then."
A quiet snort came from Cassie at that as she shuffled the blankets around the two.
"I'll take care of you, dear. Just rest for now, okay?" He finished the gentle request with a kiss on the top of her head. They got themself comfortable, tucking her head under his chin. "I'll be here when you wake up."
"I don't think you could get out of bed without me noticing."
"You know what I mean."
Cassie laughed again, breaking into a yawn. His hand searched for Gordon's, curling around to hold it. After that, it wasn't long before they were asleep yet again.
He made sure they weren't having a bad dream before drifting back asleep himself.
