'Necromancing the Stone' snippet

This is my Necromancer!Caroline fic with exes to lovers Klaroline.

She was halfway to her mug of coffee when her house wards shivered, followed quickly by a knock on her door. Reaching for the feeling, she tasted the magic of the person waiting on her stoop. Both dead and alive, it was like nothing she had felt before and also oddly familiar, an odd contradiction. Not unlike Enzo’s grave dust presence, but moon-drenched in the earth. The magic called to her like a howl through the deep woods, something wild, something lethal. 

They waited politely enough for something so dangerous, just barely pressed on the edge of her door wards to alert her of their presence. The parameter wards that looked for the intent to cause harm hadn’t gone off, but Caroline hadn’t gotten to her age by being incautious. Inanely, she wished for her slippers–discarded under her work table–as she padded to the front door and peeked through the peephole. 

The man on her front porch had his back to her while he looked up at the woods that butted up against the front of her property. Her dirt driveway wound through them from the main road up to the garage, and it was free of vehicles of any kind. He was presumably alone, a medium-sized blue pastry box held in one hand. There was something achingly familiar in the breadth of his shoulders in his black coat, the relaxed stance in dark jeans and well broken in boots. She studied the back of his head, his hair a shade that wasn’t sure if it was blond or brown. Slim build, not too much taller than her.

Who the fuck was on her doorstep?

Caroline shoved the sleeves of her chunky cream sweater up her arms and pulled an aneurysm to the fingertips of her right hand, jerking the door open. “Excuse you, but my consultation hours are clearly stated on–” He turned to face her, and she froze at the sight of a face she had never expected to see again. A smile curved the lips that time had not let her forget, and she watched in numb fascination as gold bled into his irises.

“On your website?” He trailed his eyes from the messy bun keeping her blonde hair out of her face, down her cable-knit sweater and fleece-lined leggings to her wool socked feet. The gold faded back to familiar blue as he met her eyes again, his gaze no less warm for the lack. “Yes, well, I did bring a peace offering.” He made a small gesture with the box.

“Klaus,” she whispered hoarsely. There was an odd ringing in her ears and she blinked a few times. No, he was still there.

“Yes,” he said, almost reassuringly. 

Her eyes dropped to the box. “That’s for me?” Her voice sounded funny. Klaus was starting to look a little concerned, which was weird because Klaus didn’t do concerned.

“I understand that they’re your favorite,” he said with a self-deprecating little shrug in acknowledgement of what he had always called ‘information gathering’ and she had always called ‘stalking.’

Her hands moved forward as emotion started to seep in, and he placed the box in them. Klaus stepped back carefully and pushed his hands into his jean pockets. “Caroline, I wanted to–”

She stepped back and slammed the door in his face so hard the windows rattled. For good measure, she twisted the deadbolt, and it slid home loudly.

“Plan C then,” she heard him mutter quietly, with an odd note of relief in his voice. “Go away, Klaus!” She put her back against the door as if that would add to her defenses. The anger was well and truly riding her, and her hands trembled slightly against the box. Scowling at it, she noted the logo of her favorite bakery. In Paris. Okay, maybe she wouldn’t throw the box out.

I do NOT have a problem with the color magenta!

I have a problem with it when paired in a disgusting way with other colors!

"Marcille hates all of Laios' freak traits but loves them in Falin" is honestly a really good joke but... you guys do know it's a joke right?

It's such a funny one I honestly find it impossible to get mad at even when people mistake it for an actual truth about the characters but JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR

THIS is how marcille reacts when Falin is predictably just as enthusiastic about eating monsters as her brother was.

That is not the face of a woman who thinks this trait is lovely and endearing as long as it's exhibited by the girl she loves. That is the face of a woman who is taking 7d8 psychic damage and yet knows deep in her heart she won't like Falin any less for it.

The way young Marcille reacts to Falin eating berries Marcille can't recognize but Falin knows are safe is pretty similar to how she reacts to eating monsters years later, albeit with more fear than disgust. The difference in her relationships with Laios and Falin isn't just that she's attracted to Falin, it's because the Touden siblings, while similar, are in fact different people. Not just genderswaps of each other.

Also, I think you all already know this, but just to say it: she doesn't actually hate Laios for any of his freak tendencies either. He's one of her best friends. She's just a lot quicker to be outwardly exasperated with him while she's quieter about it with Falin.

I like how in the first game, Aphrodite is like 'Mm Charon? Oh, cool, yeah, you bought my boon from the boatman and his nasty trash :/ As least he's a greedy weirdo, otherwise I couldn't make head or tails of him.'

And now she's all 'oh Charon! I love him. He's so tall and strong. Of course who wouldn't fantasize about him coming to your aid~'

I like to believe that this is because, as the goddess of love, she couldn't figure out a damn thing about Charon since he's in the underworld, and, canonically, the Olympians can't feel what's going on down there. But then she saw Hermes slobbering all over him at the post-game party, and after god knows how long with Charon and Hermes being topside and pining completely platonically over each other due to their separation, she's realized Charon is a prime cut of grade A Beef as she should have centuries ago.

I'm very proud of her.

I know it's been said but the changes to Maria really grate on me because....this doesn't even read as the same character anymore. Maria's design was purposeful, a very clear specific concept of a 'cool sexy girl who wears leopard print and crop tops, and have a belly button piercing and a tattoo' - it combines to a stand out character portrait of not just Maria but of James, because THATS what he finds sexy and was a stark contrast to modest, sickly Mary. The new design literally just looks like a teacher or a manager now, what the hell is that supposed to tell me about either of their sexualities.

And no this isn't a case of 'tHe cEnSorINg' - this is just misunderstanding the themes. Maria wasn't needlessly sexy, objectified for the viewer; her sex appeal was referenced in the story, and was an important part of it, one of the MAJOR themes.

mmmmmm read a disciple shen yuan/shizun luo binghe fanfic about two days ago where the first chapter was the Immortal Conference arc, and SQQ was the one who had to be pushed into the abyss (he was still the villain) except Luo Binghe was refusing and was like, lowkey losing his mind about SQQ being so close to the edge. SQQ ended up having to be the one to fall in himself because of the system's punishment system. The rest of the fic is leading up to that moment. But like, MMM i've been obsessively thinking about that first chapter for DAYS ever since.

now i've been in svsss for a grand total of *checks watch* a week. but god obsessed with that. I want to write/read a fic where disciple SQQ goes a little nuts down there. Like keep all of the things that make SQQ, SQQ, but just. Throw in a little bit more trauma in there. A little bit of a mental break. Let him go a little nuts as a treat. Just a tad unhinged. I wanna see him go, just a little, "god fuck it, i've tried so hard to change this shitty story's outcome and it feels like everything i've done has been for nothing. I'm going to die in this world no matter what I do, I've been doomed from the start, so might as well die the way I want to." and he just, breaks a little! Under all the stress.

He still retains the traits that makes shen yuan, shen yuan, like his overwhelming kindness. But he's just! yk. A little less patient. Paranoid. Jumpy. Colder. A little more aloof and closed off. A little more Shen Jiu. He's no asshole child abuser, but he was a Number One Hater in his past life and he's leaning into that old habit a little more now.

(On a totally coincidental not-at-all related note, there's not enough SJ-and-SY-are-the-same-people fics out there that i've found. This is totally unrelated...)

The Endless Abyss turns the mind into an over-sharpened blade, and SQQ is both fascinated and perhaps a little excited to explore a place that doesn't have a lot of info on it in the mortal realm, but still terrified out of his mind. And he's no Luo Binghe, he doesn't have the sheer brute strength and power to just bulldoze his way through, so he has to be a lot more sneaky and cunning if he wants to survive.

The fic itself role-swapped LBH and SQQ so that SQQ was the half-demon (which lowkey fucks) and LBH the human, but I'm equally-if-not-more obsessed with the idea that LBH remains the half-heavenly demon and SQQ the human. If only because I keep thinking about SQQ befriending some demons (particularly and specifically a group of succubi) and they grow very attached to this Human Cultivator so through magic plot stuff they create some kind of seal/illusion/talisman that makes SQQ appear as a demon because a human cultivator in the endless abyss may as well be the equivalent of putting a giant neon target on your back.

And iirc Shen Jiu was taught demonic cultivation by that one guy(?? i've only been here a week so im not caught up in ALL of the lore yet) so that could totally happen here.

(On the other end of the realms, poor Shizun Luo Binghe is just. losing his fucking mind over losing his most precious and beloved disciple. About .5 seconds from burning down the peaks himself. somebody sedate him.)

The Endless Abyss sucks and SQQ is having a really terrible time and can feel himself going lowkey mad, but also holy shit look at all this WORLD-BUILDING. look at all this flora and fauna, and oh if he had the equipment for it he'd be writing all of this down. ALL OF IT. He was kinda-sorta-already planning on never leaving the Abyss as some sort of fucked up self-exile and self-preservation thing, but now he might? actually just?? never leave if he can help it, like he lowkey likes it down here.

anyways the next time anyone ever sees SQQ again he's got hair so long its almost touching the ground and he's either in rags and half-feral or he's been completely dolled up by his adoptive succubi sisters and still about three seconds from biting anyone who tries to touch him. (he's also lowkey trying to book it back down to the abyss even if he has desperately missed all of his friends and shizun)

After reading this I now picture a Cassie who is just so fed up of everything you've put her through in your AU's that she dug up the Time Matrix in order to track you down

What are the odds Cassie 'somehow remembers other theoretical timelines' also somehow knew about the timeloop that Jake and Ardek and Tom got stuck in?

I love the idea that, after that AU, Jake and Tom roll up to Cassie's house like:

Jake: So this is going to sound wild, but I think I was in a time loop?

Cassie: Oh yeah, I know.

Jake: Wait, what?

Cassie: Yeah, I... remember it? It's a whole weird thing, anyway you were saying.

Jake: You remember something that never happened to you?

Cassie: To be honest it was pretty boring.

Tom: So you morph, your girlfriend's psychic, anything else I should know about?

Cassie: Sub-temporally grounded, not psychic.

Tom: ....... You know what, I'll be in the car.

Even if you're not terribly familiar with corn snake body language, it's pretty obvious that Rainbow Shake is offering me an enthusiastic invitation directly to hell.
