What We Build and What We Burn

[Dream/Hob, Explicit, 23k words]

Tags: (Post-) The Sound of Her Wings, Dream-Sharing (kind of), Mutual Pining, Emotionally Repressed Dream, Hob has Abandonment Issues, they're both stupid and struggling but they're trying their best <3, the working title was: friends tell friends about being locked up for over a century, but then Hob developed issues too so! Fun!!, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Fluff and Angst

Summary:

“For some reason that I have yet to understand, your dreams seem to be trying to bring you to me,” Dream eventually says, his voice a little too even to be casual. “Not only that, but the Dreaming allows you in; it is not something that should be possible.” Hob turns and takes in Dream’s wary face. “Does it always look like that? So…” “Desolate?” Dream offers, and his expression doesn’t change, but Hob can read the hurt on him, still. “No, it does not.” --- After Dream finally finds him in the New Inn, Hob struggles to rebuild his trust that this—Dream returning—will always be the case. At the same time, the concern that something has gone horribly wrong grows through meetings, dreams, and details that Hob shouldn't notice but does; not that Dream is much more forthcoming than in centuries prior. That's okay, though; if Hob has learnt one thing, it is how to be patient. Mostly.

Bios: The Feorian Rulers

- Ruling King Vulcan Von Brandt

. Age: 47

. Gender: male

. Sexuality: straight

. Family: parents, 1 older sister, 1 niece, Ignatius(oldest child), Hestia(second oldest child), Flint(middle child), Ashton(youngest child)

. Relationships: Soleil(wife)

. Abilities: fire magic(natural), hand-to-hand combat

. Physical Appearance: tall with a muscular build, short and slightly curly brown hair pushed back with spiky bangs, tan skin, dark brown eyes, several battle scars all over

Ruling king of the Kingdom of Feor, husband to Soleil, and father to Ignatius, Hestia, Flint, and Ashton. Although he is the second-born, his older sister never cared to take over the throne for herself so the role as heir was given to him during his early adolescence. He was always taught the ways of being a strong and capable leader as a prince, so while his new position as heir took some time getting used to, he accepted it gratefully as he always wanted to do best by his people. Logical when it comes to thinking, and preferring to rule with a firm approach, he comes off to some as close-minded and cold in his rule. While this is true to some extent, he is a lot more open-minded and caring towards his people than some would think, as he will advocate for new laws if he sees it as important or necessary. When he became of age he followed in the footsteps of the kings before him and joined the army, rising up in the ranks and serving as a captain during a series of battles that almost escalated into war when he was in his twenties. Fighting closely alongside him during this time was his wife Soleil and his best friend Idris Brenton, with the latter now being a general and his right-hand man when it comes to current military tactics and decisions. Although he was originally arranged to Soleil, they knew each other as children and made sure to get to know each other better during the course of their engagement, to the point they were genuinely in love when they married as adults. He may come off as stern and intimidating, but he softens up the most around his family, caring for their well-being and safety above all-else as he does not want to lose any of them for any reason.

- Queen Consort Soleil Von Brandt

. Age: 45

. Gender: female

. Sexuality: straight

. Family: parents, 2 older brothers, 2 younger brothers, 5 nephews, 1 niece, Ignatius(oldest child), Hestia(second oldest child), Flint(middle child), Ashton(youngest child)

. Relationships: Vulcan(husband)

. Abilities: flame magic(natural, depleted/no longer), hand-to-hand combat, sword-fighting

. Physical Appearance: tall with a fit, hourglass build, wavy and waist-length, side-swept fiery red hair fading into orange and yellow, fair skin, gold eyes, ears double pierced, large burn scar going from her lower-left cheek down all the way to her wrist

Queen consort of the Kingdom of Feor, wife to Vulcan, and mother to Ignatius, Hestia, Flint, and Ashton. Soleil grew up as the only daughter of one of Feor's most notable noble families, having four brothers. She did not despise being the only girl of her siblings however, as she got along fairly well with all of her brothers growing up. She knew Vulcan when they were children, back when he was just the prince and they were not arranged yet to be married. She followed in her families footsteps and joined the army when she was of age, fighting alongside her two older brothers and Vulcan. When they were both over the age of sixteen she and Vulcan were arranged to be married, doing so several months after she turned eighteen. She continued her work as a soldier for many years, even after having her first two children, before one fateful battle happened that not only gave her her burn scar, but also completely depleted her of all of her once powerful and strong magic. With no magic left, she took to wielding daggers and swords to defend herself with, being her daughter's first teacher on how to properly wield and fight with her own swords when she was big enough to learn. She also developed both PTSD and mild depression from her accident, that while she has been doing much better with her mental health in recent years, she still has her struggles with unwanted flashbacks and nightmares of the incident that have her feeling down for a long time whenever they pop up. She is a mature and wise queen, at first having a little trouble expressing herself and her emotions when she was younger, but has grown to become a lot more lively since then, even a little flirty to get her husband's attention now-and-then. While she is married into the royal family, she still has a good amount of influence. Nowadays she works on maintaining a strong presence as a role model for those in similar positions as herself when she was younger, that despite having a horrible accident that takes away a vital part of yourself, that there's other options in life out there to continue standing strong despite what others may say about you.

criminal minds // the autobiography of my mother, jamaica kincaid

[chdmeeksmartins]

Peyton Anna Hyde, in the au no one asked for…

With her father’s loyalty, skepticism, and love of Zeppelin and her mother’s intelligence, quick wit, and compassion… Peyton is one confident kid.

The child who was always asking why and how she learned from a young age that questioning the status quo was a good thing. It sparked her early interest in activism, and has kept her on that path ever since. With a smidge of zen sprinkled into her headstrong determination to always fight for what matters to her. Whether it’s unfair bed-times, or against dress codes being enforced at school.

A lover of ripped jeans, rock music, good poetry, Neve Campbell movies, and root beer floats.

And while she’s a sharp witted quick thinker, she’s also taken a bit after her middle-sort of namesake by having a bleeding heart. Kitty might not literally be her grandma, but she sees her as one anyways.

Peyton has a tendency to be constantly annoyed by her little brother’s lack of concern about the world, and is trying her hardest to him passionate about something. Whether it’s climate change, or feminism, or even something small like sports.

She hates apathy, almost as much as she hates skinny jeans and the state of the music industry.

on tHaW!tntduo and the ruler archetype

the ruler/matriarch

^

passive shadow aggressive shadow child-devouring hag ice queen

the ruler (or matriarchal) archetype, at its purest form, is seen as a healthy mom* who is emotionally available to her kid, but also gives them enough room to grow into their own person, and not just an extension of herself. if the mother doesn't give them enough space, she becomes the shadow archetype of the child-devouring hag. and if she gives them too much space, she falls into the shadow archetype of the ice queen.

*while this archetype is a feminine archetype, and i use feminine terms here, just like with any other archetype, it can be for anyone regardless of their gender.

the matriarchal archetype isn't always a parental figure, but this is a very easily observable example, and both thaw!soot and thaw!quackity do demonstrate this, with thaw!tommy for the former (since soot basically raised him too) and thaw!slime for the latter. though, of course, i will go into more detail on the other avenues that this archetype is seen in too.

.

the child-devouring hag - soot

the hag archetype is the pinnacle of smothering and codependency. people with this archetype tend to constantly search for the high of something to help them through life, whether through actual substances or through people. hags are terrified of being alone with themselves. they also tend to exert a scary amount of control over their kid, and drain the kid so that they can get the kid's 'youth.' this can sometimes be the more physical youth, like what we see mother gothel from tangled do, but it can also be that of their mental youth, like the hag preventing their children from learning important things for themselves because of their overprotective and obsessive nature.

hags are the classic example of the helicopter parent trope. the parent constantly hovers around their kid, causing the kid to not experience valuable learning moments for themselves because of the parent's need to protect, also alienating them from their peers and causing the kid to grow resentful of the parent for not treating the kid like their own person. a lot of the time, by the end of the story, the hag is faced with retaliation from the child, either by the child finally telling them how they feel, getting cut off, to straight up being offed by them. though there can be darker endings where the child stays with the hag too.

and we can see all of these traits of the hag in thaw!soot. whether it's the unhealthy attachment he has to tommy and how he basically holds onto him like he's his sole lifeline (which is definitely the most prominent example we see in literally any version of wesker's wilbur), but we can also think of the obsession that he has with quackity and las nevadas, or even the actual substances that he uses. but whatever it is, revy uses things to help himself get through life and escape his thoughts, although this is never that healthy for anybody involved.

and we've already seen how scarily possessive he gets over theseus, how even when thes asks to just go on a little walk, wilbur invites himself along with him, forcing himself into every aspect of his life, and not letting him do anything on his own. soot doesn't treat thes as his own person, but as something of his, and this, i think, best exemplifies how he fits into the hag archetype.

-

the ice queen - quackity

the ice queen is someone who tries so hard to protect themselves from getting hurt that they create an environment of hostility, often inadvertently to some extent. they're numbed by their intense emotions and push people away so as to not risk getting hurt again. ice queens are overly fluent in human nature, and become a blizzard of bitterness because of their distrust of mankind. while the hag is overly smothering with the ones they care about, the ice queen is the exact opposite. ice queens push people away so they don't get the chance to see their vulnerabilities, instead of unhealthily clinging onto those people to help feel better about their vulnerabilities, like what the hag does.

thaw!quackity is literally all of this to a T. he puts on all of these different masks for people, but none of them Ever show him vulnerable. he keeps his true feelings away from others as best as he can, causing him to be both renowned and feared in las nevadas. and the few people who do make it to his heart he would fight the entire world for. because he does care so much, but he's just so scared of showing that to people that he doesn't absolutely trust (and even during the softer moments he has with his trusted people, quackity's currently always the one doing the comforting, he doesn't let his guard down long enough to warrant getting comforted himself. because he's scared of being seen as "weak' by anyone.)

but see, quackity doesn't want everyone to be so scared of him, he still wants to be treated like a person. but he doesn't know the intentions of all these people, so he instead defaults to putting on the mask of someone who people would be far too scared of to even think about crossing. he acts all scary and untouchable, and and pushes people away from seeing the more human parts of him, because humans are weaker than ram hybrids , and he doesn't want to feel weaker ever again.

so he ices his heart from both himself and the world, making him seem emotionally constipated at best, and hostile at worst. (this is an entire other tangent entirely, but note that wendigos are also often depicted as having hearts of ice.) and while his heart does thaw (lol) a bit when he's with his cared ones, he still doesn't open up about himself all that much. his blizzard of bitterness stops for his cared ones, but the coldness doesn't entirely, because that's what he's comfortable with. which, it makes sense why all the people he cares about can see the good in him. this means that they have the capacity to stay warm, even in his instinctual coldness, so they aren't uncomfortable with it and still treat him like an actual person. which, that means a lot to quackity. he hasn't been treated like a person in so long, he's so often just been seen as either a pathetic doll or a ruthless monster. so q, tommy and slime all not seeing him as either of those, but as an actually trustworthy person 1000% contributes to him deciding to not be as harsh with them as he is with others. yes, there are other factors too, but this is a common thread i've noticed with all of them.

-

i think the fact that thaw!tntduo are really just two sides of the same unhealthy coin only adds to how distinctly they build off of each other in their dynamic, and it also explains how easily the conflicts can arise between them. because they're literally the two different extremes of the same exact archetype. they have so much in common. and yet, are so incredibly different at the same time. it's all just so interesting to me.

okok i'm done now, thank you so much for reading ^_^ <3 /p

[khaarl-i]

(( edelweiss :   what was the bravest moment in your muse’s life ?  are they known to be courageous from then on ?  

Only thing I can think of is the whole situation with “him”, but that didn’t make them brave… not really. It made them able to put aside their morals in order to survive (and to protect their loved ones).

When in crisis situation they go into 100% rational, 0% emotional mode, figuring out what they can do to control the situation, even if it means killing somebody.

Random potential situation I think illustrates it well: they're held captive and trying to escape, but there’s a guard between them and the exit. Most people would probably either try to sneak past him or just knock him out, even if it would lessen their chances of escaping. Khaarl wouldn’t hesitate to kill the guard, eliminating the potential issues.

[the-fandump]

At first, Steve was just confused.

There was already enough to deal with after the rift opened up in Hawkins. There were far too many reports of strange things happening all over town, likely due to Vecna and his monsters wreaking havoc, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it. He was just lucky to avoid most of the trouble.

Then the gifts started appearing.

It started small, of course. A few dead mice and picked flowers would be left outside his door, or maybe a pretty feather or two. It was like some sort of cat had taken a liking to him.

He didn't want to be rude (whatever it was might take offense to that), so he tried to take at least a portion of every gift and leave something in return, like a small water dish or a shiny rock he'd found. Whatever was leaving the gifts seemed to like them well enough.

When the flowers (which he always took) became more common and the mice (which he usually left alone) were replaced by buttons and trinkets, he realized something. Whatever it was that was stalking him and leaving those gifts was smart enough to learn what he liked. It realized that he preferred pretty or useful things over dead animals (prey?) and changed accordingly.

That was concerning. He tried to ignore it.

Something else that confused Steve was how often he would wake up to the sounds of shifting branches outside his window, even when there was no wind. He would sometimes glimpse a large shadow if he was quick enough to look. It was too high for anything that large to climb, but he got the disconcerting feeling that it wasn't a bird up there watching him.

It was not very comforting to learn that the lock on his window was broken.

Now, Steve was not the lightest sleeper, but there were some things that could definitely wake him up.

Like when he felt something crawling into his bed.

The creeping feeling of being stared at certainly didn't help. Steve tried to keep his breathing steady, not wanting to find out what would happen should the intruder realize he was awake. If he gave himself time to adjust he would have a higher chance of making it out of this alive, so he tried not to gasp when he felt cold talons grab his body.

There was a slight jerk, and suddenly Steve was being lifted into the air, held tightly Shaina the body of whatever creature was carrying him. The cool air of the night made him shiver, but his kidnapper didn't falter.

Steve thought he heard a few words whispered into the air during his unexpected flight, things like safety and hide and mine.

That last one scared him a bit.

When he was gently placed on something soft, Steve finally got the courage to crack open his eyes.

Inches away from his face was his kidnapper, head tilted to the side as it he looked at Steve with the strangest expression.

Steve felt like he was going to faint. He recognized that face, but there was no way it could be true. It couldn't be–

"Eddie?"

Steddie idea where Eddie does come back to life as a kas-ified upside-down vamp that doesn't remember his friends and is loyal to Vecna at the moment. He's given orders to go wreak havoc in the right-side up and he goes to do so.

Nothing too sinister at first. Just stalking people at night and setting them on edge enough to call the cops and when they get there he's already gone. Animal carcasses everywhere. Just random shit.

He gets orders to target a specific group. He doesn't understand why he feels reluctant to do so but he won't let his master down. From a distance he spies one of the group his master described and goes to torment this soul but when he gets closer GOD DAMN.

This creature is GORGEOUS.

Why would his master want him to torment such a beautiful thing?

It's Steve.

Vampire Eddie falls in love with Steve at first sight and legit can't complete his mission because he's too busy trying to woo his mate and Vecna gets increasingly more frustrated at his resurrected soldier.

Vamp Eddie leaving gifts for Steve to find in the mornings, Vamp Eddie watching over him as he sleeps to make sure nothing hurts his Love, Vamp Eddie just being so freaking whipped. When he hears that Vecna plans to send others towards Steve he kidnaps Steve so he can protect him and when Steve wakes up he's just like, "EDDIE!?"

And Vamp Eddie is all heart-eyed like: "He knows my name I knew we were meant to be."
