WHUMPTOBER 2022 - Day 31 - A Light at the End of the Tunnel & Comfort
Jack made it really obvious where all of them were sleeping, but not a single student or teacher woke up the three of them regardless. They had medical leave after all but they were still acting like this was some great heist. Children.

MASTERLIST ⛤ WHUMPTOBER WORKS
🕸 ⋆ ⁶𖤐⁶ ࣪⋆🕸
“Fuck.”
You were stuck. A life threatening decision looming over your head like a dark cloud about five minutes before it is about to rain. Your foot bounced anxiously against the floor as you stared at your phone, rolling it around in your hand. You hadn’t moved much since the first one came through. It buzzed again. With trembling fingers you scanned the words on the screen.
‘Tick Tock, little Bat.’
You weren’t sure entirely how you had ended up in this predicament. One minute you were just going about your business in the manor and the next you found yourself locked up in your room with the message glowing brightly on your screen.
The message was dark and foreboding and no matter how hard you tried to shake it from your mind it came back. They were threatening to kill your brothers. One text after the next filled to the brim of details of how they wanted to carve them to pieces. Fear stuck you like a hammer as they continued to flood in, text after text after text each ending with the same haunting line.
‘It’s up to you whether they live or die. Choose wisely, Wayne. Your time is running out.’
In theory, the choice was simple. It was your life for theirs. And you knew what you were supposed to choose… but there were so many complexities woven within the situation that made it hard to think straight. In hindsight, you would have made the choice in a heartbeat. You would have given your life for theirs any day, but you couldn’t leave them like this not so suddenly. The four of them were away on patrol. Halloween was a busy night for the Bats. With so many people out, it took as many hands as possible to ensure Gotham’s safety. It was your job to monitor the screens, but you were too preoccupied with the text messages.
It was when the picture of Damian came flashing though that things shifted. This was no joke. They had eyes on you and your brothers and had the power to end you all with a with a snap of their fingers
You sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of your nose as you pondered. You knew you would have to make the decision soon, but it was a double negative. Stay, and risk the lives of your brothers, or go and send them into a spiral of sudden grief. It felt so cruel to leave them without an explanation, but it felt even cruller to let them die when you had the power to stop such things occurring.
You always took pleasure in the little details. The way that Damian hid his little smile behind his hand after he had pretended he wasn’t interested. The way that Dick always seemed to hum the same song over and over for days on end until finally he would move into the next and the cycle would begin again. And then there was Jason’s hair that was always just a little bit too long so that it dangled over his eyes and he constantly had to brush it out of his face. You would miss the little moments deeply. Spending time with your brothers was something that you cherished deeply, even if they more often than not contained childish bickering. You smiled at the memories but it quickly morphed into a deep frown.
You had made your decision.
Pushing the chair out from under the table with a groan as it shifted beneath your weight, you reached for a pen and paper and began to write, not bothering to wipe your tears as you scrawled across the page. You wrote six notes. One for each of your brothers, one for Bruce and Alfred.
After you had done that you slid them beneath the respective doors and shrugged in your coat. You sniffled taking one last look at your home before disappearing into the night to seal your fate.
~~
The wind howled against your skin, whipping around your body as you trudged. You had to pull your coat up to hide your face. You knew that if you were seen there was no going back. Your brothers would be able to convince you to turn back. But you knew that wasn’t an option. As your drew nearer to the rendezvous point, your heart dropped.
Then the hooded figure appeared from the building and froze. Taking them in completely. You took a shuddering breath, sending the other two spill in from behind you to surround you. There was no going back now.
Their grip was harsh on your arm as they dragged you through the twisting corridors. They had searched your body for weapons, stripping you of the small dagger you had tucked away in your boot.
They led to a room lit by flickering golden candlelight. The three of them inched you into the middle of the room before dropping their cloaks.
“Begin.” One of them hissed from behind a mask.
And suddenly your body was consumed in a pain so violent that you were forced to your knees.
~~~
“Y/N?” Jason called out. It was unusually quiet in the manor. The lights were out and there was no sign that you were around besides a lukewarm mug of coffee discarded by the computer.
Tim bumped into his brother as he turned the corner. “Have you seen her?” He asked. “I can’t find her anywhere.”
Jason shook his head, concern bubbling up in his stomach. “No.”
“Maybe she’s in her room?”
The two of them barged up the stairs and turned into your room only to find Damian slipping out of your room. The lights were off. You weren’t home.
It was at that fateful moment that Dick came out of his room with shaky hands. He was holding the folded, tear stained paper. He had found the letter. With bloodshot eyes he turned to his younger brothers. “She’s gone.”
The Manor wept that night. No body slept as their body wracked with sobs that wailed throughout the walls. The was a dark hole left that your light had filled. It was as though someone had sniffed out a candle, stripping the vigilantes of any joy and light that they once had. You were gone, and with you your spirit and hope and the Wayne’s would never be the same again.

K&J: Kane's Whumptober Bites #31
Chronological masterlist / Writing order masterlist
content: vampire whumpee, recovery, comfort
@whumptober Day 31: “I thought that I was getting better.” / Setbacks / “Take it easy.”
didn't end up making it through whumptober, but here's the day 31 piece i had planned anyway :)
-
It was one of those nights. A night where the faces of Kane’s tormenters haunted his mind both in dreams and awake.
Awake was worse. At least a dream, he could wake up from, safe and sound in his room below Jim’s house. But the memories, those were worse. They were real, his skin tingling as he recalled the pain. The snap of a forcibly-broken bone, silver pressed against vulnerable flesh, the sting of a cattle prod, the wrathful kiss of the sun.
He gathered up his blanket and crawled underneath his bed, wrapping himself up there. It still didn’t feel safe, even though he’d been freed. The missing lock on the basement door felt more exposing than ever. Kane never imagined he’d miss being captive so much, but being Jim’s captive was safe.
It only got worse as the sun rose. He couldn’t see it from down here, of course, but his clock told him all he needed to know. Now he was well and truly trapped, a sitting duck for any hunters who wanted to pay him a visit and reintroduce him to the pain he’d been so spared over the past months.
But the sun brought more than just terror, here.
Jim woke soon enough, giving the door a couple of knocks before peeking inside. “Kane? You in there?”
Just as Jim was about to leave– right, it was okay if Kane wasn’t there, he was free to come and go as he pleased now– Kane piped up, his voice small and scared. “Yes, sir.”
Jim sighed, the sad kind. “Bad night?”
“Mm-hm.”
Kane felt the bed creak above him as Jim sat down, the delicious smell of human blood ever-closer. “It’s really over. I know it feels like it’s not sometimes, but you’re not going back.”
“I know, I just–” The memories wouldn’t go away. His mind and body wouldn’t let him forget, no matter how far away he got, no matter how safe he was. “I thought I was getting better.”
“You are,” Jim assured him. “This just happens sometimes. Doesn’t mean you’re back to square one.” He set the blood down. “Take it easy and give yourself time. It’s been five months, you’ll get there.”
“Thank you,” Kane said, already feeling just a little better.

The familiar whirring of the drill sends an uncontrollable shiver of primal terror up Whiskey's spine. Baxter had made such a display of removing the bolt from the corpse's leg that it was impossible to not realize what exactly the man had been planning all along.
Still, he had been subdued somewhat easily this time, the sheer shock clouding his judgment with a thousand confusing thoughts he could barely keep track of. He struggles against the tape binding his arms behind his back, but from that position he can hardly move at all. The foot on his neck felt heavier with each passing second, so heavy he'd bet if it wasn't for the adrenaline keeping him forcibly awake he would have long slipped into unconsciousness, barely able to breathe.
Baxter laughs at the pointless fighting. He makes a point of turning the drill on and off close to Whiskey's face to watch him suddenly jolt in panic, then wheeze and gasp from the effort.
"Easy there prick, don't knock yourself out just yet. What fun would it be if you weren't awake for the best part?"
He doesn't answer, but indignation is written all over his face.
"Aw, don't look at me like that." The man mocks his captive, pointing the drill at the bolt lying on the floor as if ominously in wait. "Your friend tells me it misses you! Wouldn't wanna disappoint a friend, right?"
"Fu..ck yo—" The foot presses down harder. His entire body tenses in panic then erupts in labored breathing when it finally eases up.
Baxter kneels right on top of Whiskey's free leg, pinning it under his weight to allow easy access to the ankle. The man groans in pain.
The drill does not go through bone easily.

No. 12 Insomnia | No. 29 Panic | No. 31 “Take it easy.”
Pairing: Daryl Dixon x Fem!Reader
Setting: Prison Era
Warnings: Hallucinations
Tumblr media
“Can’ sleep again?” Daryl drawled, voice rougher than usual with sleep. He lifted his head from the pillow when he felt the mattress dip with your weight. You shook your head, not meeting his eyes. “S’been days, Y/N. Yer startin’ ta look like a walker.”
“You say the nicest things, Dixon.” You got up and stumbled over to the railing of his perch, looking out over the darkness of the cell block. Your body ached. Your head was fuzzy. You felt nauseous and short tempered. But sleep wouldn’t come. No matter how hard you tried. You could only see the faces of the ones you’d lost. Amy. Jim. Dale. Andrea. Shane. Lori. T-Dog. ‘I couldn’t save any of them.’
“Ya can’ keep holdin’ on ta all tha’.” 
You quickly looked at him over your shoulder. ‘Was I talking out loud?’
“Yeah, ya were.”
“Shit.” You scrubbed a hand roughly over your face. You really were losing it. Daryl was sitting up now, his knees bent under the thin blanket with his forearms lying over them. He looked genuinely concerned. “I don’t wanna be in this world anymore.” You admitted quietly. “I’m scared to be awake. I’m scared to sleep.” Your lip began to tremble, your body too depleted to fight off the sting of tears threatening to fall. “I’m so tired.”
The archer observed you quietly, his expression unreadable. You weren’t sure why you came to him. You weren’t even sure where things stood with him. There had been gentle touches and whispered words, even a few kisses shared in secret, but most days, he just remained impassive and gruff. 
“I should let you get some sleep. I’m sorry I bothered you.” Your feet carried you quickly down the stairs, stumbling over the last step in your haste. 
The shower area was dark but the small windows let in just enough moonlight for you to at least see where you were going. Maybe you could just hide away there until morning. Your cell was too small, the terror and memories smothering you. The rest of the prison was inhabited by your small group and a few strangers. People you’d rather not give any reason to worry about you or your usefulness. You had already allowed Daryl to see too much. 
“He doesn’t feel that way about you, you know.” 
You spun around toward the voice to find the space behind you empty. You could have sworn—
“He doesn’t feel that way about anyone. Daryl is selfish.”
“Lori?” You whispered, spinning around again. And again you were met with no one. 
“You’re just a silly little girl. You’re not helping anyone. You never have, never could.”
“Dale?” You whimpered, the name barely leaving your lips before you heard Andrea just by your ear. 
“At least I was useful! You’re just a burden! They’ll be better off without you!”
“I’m trying! I just—”
“Try harder! Hell, you really wanna help, just go out past the fence and let the walkers take care of you.”
“One less mouth to feed, one less burden.”
“Shane, T… I’m doing my—” 
“Your best?” You heard Lori laugh mockingly as your back met the cold tile of one of the shower stalls, sliding down until you were on the floor. “Your best is pathetic.”
“Pathetic!”
“Pathetic!”
“Pathetic!”
Your hands flew to your ears, the word echoing in a flurry of voices and laughter. Your sobs grew louder, your eyes squeezed shut, and your back met the wall over and over as you rocked on the floor to try and get control over yourself. When you felt their hands on your arms, you screamed and flailed. They were gonna to take you to the walkers. They were going to laugh as you were ripped apart. 
“Hey, hey, hey. Easy.” 
The voices stopped suddenly and you pulled away, flattening yourself against the wall. Your eyes opened to find the space in front of you empty save for a concerned pair of electric blue eyes, the moonlight making them almost gray. 
“Take it easy.” Daryl’s tone was soft, his hold on your forearms was firm yet gentle in the most confusing way. 
“Daryl?” Your voice came out as nothing more than a small squeak being forced past the lump in your throat. 
“S’jus’ me.” When you threw yourself into his arms, he made no move to pull away. He simply remained crouched there, one arm around your shoulders, keeping you grounded for the moment. “Wha’ was tha’ all ‘bout?” He pulled back a little but you chased the feeling of protection he was offering, whether it was intentional or not. You didn’t answer him, but given the way he sighed, you thought he may have already known. “Okay.” He finally muttered and you thought he was going to move away and leave you there. 
He hoisted you up into his arms instead, backing out of the stall and then leaving the showers all together. You thought you could still hear whispers as the door closed behind you, your face instinctively burrowing further into his collarbone. 
“Is she okay?” Carol’s voice was full of concern, a small gentle touch brushing over the center of your back as Daryl kept walking. 
“She’s fine. Jus’ needs ta sleep.” He answered roughly. You were jostled slightly as he began to ascend the steps to your cell. You didn’t want to go there, not now that you had awakened everyone and proven those voices right. 
You were a burden. 
You sniffled and waited for him to deposit you and leave. Your back met the mattress slowly, gently, and the blanket was pulled over you a second later. But instead of the bottom of the top bunk, you saw the high ceiling of the cell block when you opened your eyes. 
You weren’t in your cell. 
“Daryl?” You questioned meekly, turning your head just as the blanket lifted once more and the archer crawled under it at your side. 
You were in his bed. 
“What’re you—” You blinked wide eyes at his chest when you were unexpectedly pulled tightly against him, his chin resting on the top of your head. 
“Try ta sleep now.” 
Your surprise dissolved into something else, walking the fine line between gratitude and guilt. You nodded minutely, wiping your eyes as best you could given the proximity. 
“Quit yer wigglin’.” 
“Sorry.” You muttered, sniffling again before you closed your eyes. You could actually feel the lure of sleep pulling heavily at your subconscious, your mind already growing blank and your eyelids too heavy to open. You felt safe and warm and right. You’d have to talk to him about what happened but that was a problem for tomorrow. “Daryl?” You mumbled, almost slurring the syllables. 
“Hmm?”
“Thank you.” 
His eyes opened, staring at the darkness over your head while the tension left your body and your breaths deepened, soft snores already puffing out against his skin. The archer pulled you a little closer. 
“Don’ ever hafta thank me, Y/N. I gotcha.”

Whumptober #31
Trope of the day: “Take it easy.”
_
"Okay. Okay, I can do it," whumpee mutters as they prepare themself to get up from bed, their knees already weak. But they promised themself that they would get up today, no matter what it takes.
Counting in their head, whumpee manages to get off the bed at ten and feels the dizziness rush to their head, sight getting blurry and black. "Fuck."
But before they can collapse, someone catches them. Warm arms help whumpee stand upright again, they hold onto them with shaky hands.
“Take it easy,” caretaker says as they help them sit down on the bed again, whumpee already sweaty from their little try. "Why are you out of bed?"
"Tried to prove myself," whumpee mumbles as they rub their eyes, glad that they don't feel so dizzy anymore. "Wanted to get up after a week, but that's not enough apparently."
“Take it easy, kid. Your body needs rest.” Whumpee nods and sighs. They let themself fall backwards on the mattress and pat the spot next to it, waiting for caretaker to lie down next to them.

Whumptober 2023 Prompt List | No. 31: “I thought that I was getting better.” | Emptiness | Setbacks
Faruzan couldn't remember much of her time being trapped. And when she did, all it had were impressions and blurred memories.
Now when she woke up in the middle of the night, the oppressive feeling of the room loomed over her. Trapped, alone. It was quiet. All too quiet with only her breathing made known.
Out. She had to get out.
Out out out OUT.
Shaking hands took knobs and tore open the door. And then another door.
She can't stay here.
She has to-
Breathe.
The dark early morning air rushed through her face and into her lungs as she slammed open the door. The sound echoed through the empty street.
Faruzan sat on the stairs. She had just recently been cleared by the Bimarstan after so long. It wasn't as bad as when she first got back, on that first night in a closed room. They had to move her to the open air wing after that.
“I thought that I was getting better.”
And she had gotten better. She knows that. But the bare room, empty of any personal artifacts, from traces of her cousins, and nieces and nephews, the familiarity of her family home, to the missing rustle and life of her old lodgings long given to another generation– it made her feel all the more alone.
