hii how are your pets? ☺️ ~🪶
Bird anon it's been a while! They're doing good! My demon of a bird (affectionate) bit me but it didn't go completely through like another time. Fat boy jumped on my face while I was sleeping and now I have a neat lil scar on my eyelid. Recently wrote a chapter of a fic (that no one will see for ages) and based it off my baby (Carmen, the black cat, the love of my life). Momma has been oddly cuddly lately and will not get off me for some reason? The baby in our house (I say baby but she's four) has learned that she can now pick up Holley (sorta) and Holley is... Indifferent, for the most part (she's very good with the kid). Sombra has also been far more cuddly than usual, I suspect they both have to do with the fact I always have a heating blanket on (and I give the best scritches). Sapphire is loud as always but has been getting better with the baby! The baby knows how to say sit and sapphy will sit for her (as long as she gets a treat out of it). Ruby and I (and also Carmen) are kindred spirits, none of us are fans on the kid but we tolerate her(except Carmen, she just runs which is a mood). She's been extra lovey though and still thinks she's a lap dog despite being like 160 of pure muscle rolling around on you.
And it's spring so they're all blowing their coats and there's fur literally everywhere🙂. I can not emphasize how much fur there is, it is insane.
Oh also I found a raccoon who sometimes jumps in our dumpster and eats the trash (I wanna get one of those wildlife cams to get a pic of him) I've been thinking of naming him butterball🤔
Have some pet pics under the cut
Brandy (demon) and Sapphire

Danny makes the Lazarus pit his home
So after afew centuries all of dannys family is dead and in the ghost zone, he's an ancient of space and time(curtsey of clockwork) and bored as hell
He decided to go on a trip exploring all the portals and just mess around for a few years now that he doesn't have anything important to do
One day he stumbles upon a weird by-product of ectoplasm (Lazarus water is similar to ectoplasm but it has different properties due to human meddling, it's not currupted per'se but it is more dangerous for humans)
He sees weird humans in through the Lazarus water and decides to go through, and since danny is the first ghost to come across it the Lazarus pit fused to him and is kind of like him minion now and a part of himself
And so danny is now fused to the Lazarus pit but not bound to it, and all these people are interesting to he'll stay for a bit
The league of assasins find him and are confused and more than slightly terrified, their just glad it seems friendly.
.
.
.
Ra al Ghul was and Talia al Ghul were going over the latese plan when one of the guards in charge of the Lazarus pit comes running in and telling them something happened
They follow him down to the pit and see...something in the pit
It was wrapped around itself and laying at the bottom of the pit, it looked black and white and they couldn't see any defining features
Just as they were discussing about what to do, the creature moved, it unwrapped and moved forward up to the surface of the Lazarus pit, it let up the top of it's head first and showed off its glowing Lazarus eyes and flowing white hair
It creature looked at everyone in the room before it rose to where it was half submerged in the pit
It looked around before it's eyes landed on Ra al ghul, it tilted its head again before it leaned forward in the land surounding the pit and rested its arms on the edges, it opened its mouth showing hundreds of needle thin teeth and a black tongue and mouth with white lights on it, as it it were mimicking the stars
"So...your the one who uses this"
The voice sounded young but had an eco to it, the creature sounds curious rather than malicious and its body language showed it wasn't looking for a fight
"Yes, i use the Lazarus pit now i want to know what you are and what are you doing ln it"
Ra responded to the creatures earlies statement, the creature looked a little starteled but not angry
"Hmmm... thats tricky. Im not really doing anything, mostly just cheaking in, y'know. As for what i am..."
The creature paused and looked at talia, and she couldn't help but freeze, it looked like it was looking through her very soul and searching for something, before it turned back to Ra al ghul
And it smiled...one full of teeth but not promising pain
"You may call me phantom"

Mad man
Traflagar law / fem reader
Warnings:mention of blood
Angst
Hurt to comfort
Crying
Mention of death
Dissected head
Summary :law and emotions are not a good combination,law bursts at reader and reader ends up comforting him
Note : literally firsts scenario I write so tell me any mistakes or notes
Tumblr media
“Hey hey it's ok” you are trying your best to shush the poor girl lying in your arms, screaming and crying hysterically
“What's her name??” you asked still cradling the poor girl in your arms, she seemed 5 or 6 maybe ?
“Lami” the little boy answered seeming scared himself trying to put on a strong face “her name is Lami” he said those words and started crying
“Hey lami, what a sweet name you have” you tried to keep a smile on to the girl and the boy both of them seemed in a bad state “ Lami baby it is ok” you said with a soothing voice hugging the girl tight to your chest playing with her hair trying to comfort her
“Ma-Ma mama mama” sobs interfering each word and gasps escaping the little one
“They killed mama!” her sobs and screaming was already aching your heart and the little one word’s also caused another breakdown to the elder
He was trying to act strong ‘you thought’
You can't do anything, all that surrounds u are trees in the middle of the forest, it was supposed to be a peaceful walk with you and him away form the city but nothing prepared you to see such a sight in a calm place.
“Come on lami, look at me, breathe in and out ok?” you tried your best to calm her she was young,so young for whatever she saw,she was covered in blood not her own you assumed “ I am here with you ok ?” she seemed to have a better breathing pattern “and your big brother is here too” she didn't answer all she did was hug you
And it pained you so much
You didn't have to know a lot but seeing the blood on both kids and from the screaming the little boy did you realized that there mother was killed
How and who you didn't know
But apparently the two poor things have been wandering by them selves for around a day
You carried her and turned around
“Law?”
He seemed out of place just staring down at you and the younger ones giving you a blank stare
“Are you ok?” you said looking at him
It's not kids its something else, it's not the first time you two see something like that in fact you've seen worse but..,each time he held off a cold demeanor and stayed calm and acted accordingly, this time it's not like he panicked or anything but…
He is not acting like the usual law you know
He broke out out of his thought and said what almost same out as an unintentional snap at you
“Do you want me to carry her or something?!”
He himself was shocked of his response and your reaction to what he said wasn't far away form his own
“No”..you sighted “no I just want to bring both of them to the polar tang” you kept a calm face staring at him unsure why he was acting like this
Silent
“Oh”.. “Ok”
You started to walk with Lami on your shoulder and implied to the boy to follow you and he did, you walked a bit, then started to slow down when you noticed law is not following so you turned your body to face him.
He stared at you and realized he hasn't moved yet
“I can” he starteled a bit
“ I can shamble us back “
You gave him a questionable look
“As you want”
He gave you a nod and shambled all four back to the tang
Finally feeling at ease being on the tang, little girl already asleep clutching on you and a little boy seeming so scared and lost
and your man
Your man acting weird
“Law I will take both to the infirmary”
He stared at you
“Do whatever” he stormed out of the room
His response was odd, to him he never hesitated to give medical assistance to anyone in need, especially children, you weren't even sure if any needed medical assistance but the least he could do was check on them
He is a doctor
It was his pride
You went to the infirmary with the two,laid Lami on the bed while asking the boy
“And you, what's your name”
He seemed stupidly shocked by your question
“Oliver…my name is Oliver”
You gave a smile “and how old are you”
“9 and lami she is 5”
You ruffled his hair still keeping on a smile
“Did any of you get injured ?”
You already inspected both, yeah they both had dry blood on their clothes but no visible injuries
“No not anything important at least..but mum” he stared down and stated “pirated chopped her head off”
U didn't have a proper response, what can you even say ‘oh listen boy the world is unfair and bullshit?’ all you did was wrap your arms around him, he was frozen in space at first but he managed to hug you back
“You can cry you know….you don't have to act strong”
And that was the breaking point, he cried hysterically, so loud so agonizing, so painful, you rubbed his back
“Let it go”
He finished, he calmed down, detached himself and wiped his tears
“Thank you” was all he managed to say
You gave a weak smile and told him you will be right back
You head to Law’s room, knocking on the door
No answer
You knocked again
“Get lost!” was all you heard
You ignored him and just entered the room
“I thought I said get lost?!” he said in an unrecognizable tone, at least not a tone he would use on you, having a bunch of papers in front of him on the desk giving you a death stare.
“What's wrong?”
“What do you mean what's wrong” still same state and same hurting tone
You tried to keep your compusure and calm state
“You are acting weird..since we found the lami and oli…” he cutted you off mid sentence
“I am just in a bad mood ok?now get out!”he glared at you before returning back to his paper work
Instead of walking out you approached him, yeah sure his words fucking hurted but, law is not a man to act like this out of nothing
“You should at least check on them” you said in a calm tone staring at his back
“They seemed In a fine state to me” he spat out still his back still facing you
“ Lami and Oliver have been in the forest for about a day now..they may have a food poisoning or something from the forest and I already saw minor cuts on both of them so can you..”
You said while approaching while trying to rest his hand on his shoulder but then he slapped your hand and cutted you off again
“I said get the fuck out !” he didn't say it, he screamed it
You stared at him, tears threatening to fall
“We were literally fine minutes before we met them!” you screamed back
“And now I am not!” he sat in silence looking at your face now “or do you thing you are the only one that gets her stupid mood swings?”
You stared at him,more like glared at him, and left
Went to your room to gather some clothes that might fit the two
Lami was already awake and talking with Oliver
You checked both for cuts and wounds and took Lami to bath her and offered Oliver an empty shower and told him to take his time, took care of lami that seemed a lot more calm now and went to the kitchen to cook both of them a meal
“Thank you so much” Oliver said and Lami said right after him copying her brother “Thank u sister”
“Hey her name is not..oh right what's your name, sorry for not asking earlier”
You gave him a small smile “call my y/n….i know both of you are starving but food will be ready in minutes ok”
You tossed the tray in the oven
“I will be right back”
You went to your room to use your den den mushi to Call ikkaku, you explained the situation to her and told her to buy some clothes to both, explaining age and size precisely.
You fed both of them and offered some old comic books for them to pass time
“It's not fair I can't read!” you chuckled at Lami response for the you offering the comics, you were happy that she was easing up and not thinking about what happened to their mum
“ I will read for you lami stop annoying y/n” Oliver stated and gave a funny look to lami
“Fine fine you two stay here and read “
You didn't quite comprehend the situation, call it trauma response but you were glad they are not having a breakdown every five minutes, at least they still have a father is what you told yourself, their father left for a business trip and will be back in 3 days, 3 days to take care of the poor souls and then you can give them to their dad, how Oliver talked about him assured you he is actually a good man so you knew you are leaving them in safe hands
but what was currently consuming you alive was Law
He never acted like that, never screamed at you…man he never slapped your hand when you tried to touch him
He always leans into your touch no matter how heated things get between you two
What is happening to him?
Ikkaku, bepo,shachi, penguin, and the rest of the crew came back, while ikkaku already explained the situation for the rest everyone tried to ease both kids and make them forget about the incident
Stupid jokes from shachi and penguin
Bebo cuddling up with lami till she slept with her new clothes that ikkaku bought
You stared at all of them part of you was comforted and part of you still thinking about him, it's been all day and he still didn't get out of his room you thought
Man he didn't even eat, you wanted to go back in, talk to him ask him Confront him anything! But after he talked with you like that for no reason you just couldn't bring yourself to do so, if he stormed at you again you will lose it and you didn't want that
You told bepo to deliver his food but he refused to even open the door
Your mind was exhausted from him from all the tears you saw this day, from the venting you heard and comforting you did
You were stressed and exhausted and it showed in your face clearly,ikkaku asking if you are ok and you simply replied that both of you and law had a fight, over what? you yourself don't know
All the thoughts rumbling in your head were cut by him walking in the common room where all of yall are gathered
“Both of you get out of my sight”
He was staring at lami and Oliver, both seemed startled and not sure how to react to the scary man above them with eyes that felt like they were hunting them down
You didn't know how to react either, he is not like himself and the past encounter with him didn't help your thoughts either, you approached the two pointing to the corridor and telling them to go to your room trying to keep a smile on
After you were sure they were gone and while the crew still starring at law, not really having an idea of the reason behind his anger nor you did
You didn't want to argue with him but your own anger was seeping in your system so you just glared at him instead of saying anything
“Don’t fucking stare at me like that” the tension was rising in the room as much as a his own tone
You just gave the same death stare at him “or what?”
“Don’t fucking test me y/n”
“They are fucking kids' law !”
“And we are pirates y/n”
His answer saddened you and something inside you seemed to snap, pirates? He despised pirates that are rude to civilians and used their authority above them
Especially childrens
You were devastated, wanted to cry, shout and the moment of sad silence you had turned back in into anger but knowing that whatever conversation with your boyfriend ‘captain’ at the moment is probably useless in his current state
So You rolled your eyes at him and moved your eyes away from him moving towards your room “good night guys”
You went in and prepared a place for lami and Oliver to sleep in a room next to yours, and started getting ready for bed, staring at yourself in the mirror while brushing your teeth trying to think of a reason for his action you were desperate to justify what the fuck caused him to act this way
But there was no reason no matter how hard you tried to look for one
You snuggled into your bed trying to catch some sleep in the hope of easing the stupid headache that had accompanied you all-day and the fact that his usual comforting smell of him was all over your sheets didn't help with your thoughts or your stupid headache
How can you be so mad at someone yet miss them this bad? You cursed how stupid you sounded
‘Idiot’ you mumbled to yourself
Probably an hour passed by and sleep didn't seem like it was coming anytime soon, all you could do was staring the ceiling above you
Till you heard a knock on your door, you rushed to open, part of you scared that something happened since it is such a late hour for anyone to knock on your door.
You opened only to find law in front you with an expression that you never saw him wearing
‘Sad’
Yeah sure you saw him angry, devastated, cheesy, embarrassed, happy…but this?
Till him clutching on you,hugging you cutted of your thoughts
‘Oh’ you just hugged him back letting him in and closed the door all while he still connected to your body, you walked him into your bed sitting him down leaving his embrace and looking at him staring down
He stared down with his hand covering his face and waited for him to talk but all you faced was silence and heavy breathing filling the room, so you slightly moved next to him hugging his back trying to soothe him to talk
And nothing prepared you for what came next
Heavy sobs and gasps filled the room your own face was shocked
‘He is crying’
It was painful to watch a man as law
Crying
which for how long you've known him already was never this vulnerable in front of you
Or in front of anyone
You just hugged him tight which increased his own cries, you tried to move him till he faced your body, and removed his hands from his face, removing his tears and rubbing them dry trying to calm him down
“Its ok”…a Calm raspy voice escaped your mouth “You are ok”
His orbs staring at you while you still cupped his face with your hands then stared down
“My sister..” was all he managed to say
“Did she remind you of her ?” your mind started to connect the dots of what was in his mind
“My sister's name was lami”
You hugged him resting his head on your chest and stroking his hair trying to find a proper response
“You would think I am insane if I told you both have the same cry “
You held him tighter to your embrace and gave him a kiss on his hair
“You are not insane law”
She could feel him trembling beneath her, she had never seen him like this , and God it is so fucking painful
“Y/n…I fucking miss them,mum,dad,lami and …and Cora San”
“I am sure they are so proud of you law….they are in a better place now “
“I stormed at you earlier, I've acted like a dick and I scared the kids and..”
He went silent
“I am so fucking sorry y/n”
She stroked his hair again trying to calm him down
“It's ok love”
He gave her a slightly cracked voice
“It's not fucking ok”
She replied with a soothing demeanor “just next time tell me those thoughts out loud, I can't read your mind”
“It's so fucking pathetic, look at me i just cried in your...”
She cut his silence off
“Law it's not pathetic” she says “I want you to get things off your chest I am your partner this is the least I can do”
“But..”
“No but law,if situations were reversed would you want me to pent things up inside of me ?”
“Well of course not but..”
“Stop with the but thing law !” She hugged him tight
At the moment all law was feeling was relief and a heavy feeling lifted of his chest,you were his everything and the thought of losing you too pained him too much to even think about it and the fact it can happen any minute wasn’t something that left his mind at all
he just kept feeling that the moment that you abandon his sight you will be gone like everyone else.
He detached himself from you only to hold your face
He stared at you precisely on your lips all he wanted now was to feel your lips on his
He stared at your face while all he thought of was ‘I love you’ pushing you down to the mattress and pressing his lips on yours,started deepening the kiss and only left your mouth leaving a room for you to breathe only to move on to your jaw attacking it ,moving on to your neck sucking the tender flesh beneath him while his hands roamed over your body
You were panting under him not finding enough air to fill your lungs
He gasped out
“I love you”
You smiled at the the words and the ways his face looked so flushed In front of you
The familiar yellow orbs staring right at you
“I love you too,law”

chapter one - through your masqurade
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: Luke Castellan x unclaimed afab!reader warnings: very basic mentions of a panic attack, reader may become a bit descriptive for plot reasons but over all still ambiguous, kinda slowburn Chapter one of my Two Threads of Yarn series masterlist - found here
Violence. Incessant violence fuels the world; it is a never-ending cycle. Become hurt, be hurt, cause hurt. Violence is an unquestionable human quality. A survival instinct. Be weary so you do not get hurt. This was your mantra; until one day, your heart got the better of your head. 
The silver of Artemis’s chariot reflected gently off the serene waters. The cold nipped at your skin with welcome fervour as you dug your hands into the frosty, smooth pebbles. Absentmindedly, you clenched your fists. Sometimes, especially during the day, you would not feel your fingertips for your toes. Sometimes, they would become ghostly appendages, turning almost transparent. You picked up a rock. Smooth and flat and the striking colour of soot. It was dotted with fractures, scarring the surface. With a huff, you extended your arm and threw it into the lake. It hit the water, skipped once, then sank. You flexed your fingers again, clinging on to the sensation of touch. Sighing, you got up, brushing away phantom dust off your clothes, making your way back to an impersonal bunk in the Hermes cabin. 
Noon rolled about the next day. The days were getting longer and the nights were getting shorter. You grimaced internally at the thought. Adorned in your usual sun-blocking attire underneath your distressed camp half blood shirt, you fixed your hair and put on a pair of battered aviators. Again, you grimaced at the brightness of the sun. Desperately praying for some form of cloud cover. 
The sun stayed shining. Haughty. You picked at the food on your plate as the majority of your cabin mates got up to sacrifice a portion of their meals to the fire burning in the brazier. You had gotten used to the practice after a month or so. And after a year, you’ve accepted the hard truth. You were never going to be claimed. It wasn’t like your other cabinmates, they all had some form of parentage even though . Alabaster, was a child of Hecate while Ethan was a child of Nemesis. ‘They were claimed, even though they didn’t have cabins, they were still claimed.” Your thoughts had wandered until they had turned dark and menacing. ‘Is my mother so ashamed of me that she doesn’t even want to claim me?’ Subconsciously, a finger came to where your – otherwise normally dark hair – was marred white. It was one of the many ugly scars on your body. ‘I’m a tree,’ you thought to yourself. ‘I watch people come and go, they are a chapter to me but to them, I’m a novelty. A picture in a book, glimpsed at and tuned over. I can’t move from where my roots are. I let people hurt me and use me…’ memories of innumerable moves and innumerable fake friends flit through your mind like autumn leaves carried by the wind. 
‘... I can’t move from where my roots are.”
You had not realised that you were zoned out until your gaze met with two brown eyes. A sudden chill entered your body, seeped into your veins. You had met these very same eyes multitudinous times before. And with a startelling realisation you wondered why you hadn’t seen it before. Behind a veil of serenity; Luke Castellan’s warm brown eyes were stormy. And violent.   
And suddenly, there was a part of you that wanted to delve inside his mind and his thoughts and his experiences and know everything about him. Uncharacteristically, almost impulsively, you offered a smile. A stray thought dashed through your mind. 
‘Maybe you and I are not so different after all’
LUKE
It was apparent today that there were always new things people were capable of. When he locked eyes – or rather tinted sunglasses – with you, a chill went down his spine. Subconsciously he could feel the weight of your gaze, and an unsettling feeling washed over him.  Almost as if you could see behind his masquerade. 
It unsettled him.
But at the same time, he couldn’t help but be curious; thoughts ran rampant in his head. ‘Who are you, who’s your godly parent, how did you get here, what are you doing to me…’ Luke offered a smirk in return and reluctantly turned his head back to his friends who had already sat down at the far end of the Hermes table. Away from you.
When he turned back around to glimpse at you, you were holding you left hand to your chest, re-adjusting the tinted glasses, clumsily putting on your cap and briskly walking towards the dorms – following a trail of shade offered by towering oak and birch and conifer.

Scream
TOUCH STARVED: Ethan Landry x fem!reader
Tumblr media
Summary: Do you ever wonder what the source of the hunger for love is?
Notes: English isn't my first language. I apologize for any mistake I made while I wrote this short story.
I was inspired by literally half a sentence from the movie, but still... we love our little murder boy.
Warnings: SPOILERS! (for Scream 6, but there are only some references), swearing, mentioned/referenced violence, hurt/comfort
•••
Ethan Landry was most definitely touch starved.
She noticed that pretty quickly after they started dating. The way an adorable, silly smile formed on his face as she kissed his cheek or played with his hair was too cute to miss. When she gently touched his face or put her arms around his neck or on his shoulders while they were kissing, the way he ran after her touch and presence was a heartwarming sight to see. Not to mention the slight blush what was still present everytime she gave him a small compliment, especially in front of others.
And God, she loved that when they were alone they were basically attached at the hip, hands or thighs always touching.
But even though she loved him and his presence more than anything, she couldn't help but wonder where that touch starvation came from. She knew that it's not always a pretty thing, especially not the source of it. Someone so hungry for love and peace - it comes from somewhere deep within.
She got the answer to that after the murders started to happen again, after another Ghostface showed up. And just like she thought, the source wasn't a pretty thing at all.
She woke up one night, legs tangled in the sheets, hands burried under the pillow to the feeling that someone sat down on the bed. She immediately opened her eyes in panic as she sat up, eyes trying to get used to the darkness. The phone calls and murders made her jumpy and paranoid, and with that more protective - both the first and last thing she did everyday was calling her friends, making sure they are fine.
The panic disappeared after she realized there was nothing to be scared of, the only other person in the room was Ethan, her lover and with that the rightful owner of the bedroom she was sleeping in.
"Ethan?" she called out to her boyfriend as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes. " 'Everything all right?"
It took a few seconds for him to answer. At first she thought he was starteled, that she scared him with her sudden movements, but his shoulders didn't move and nor did his arms.
"Everything's all right, sweetheart, you can go back to sleep."
Her tiredness disappeared as she looked at him, her back straightening like a hunter's dog sensing something in the dark. Her heartbeat quickened as she looked at him, at his back because he didn't turn around.
She had never seen him hurt before. She's seen him happy, sad and tired... but hurt? That was a new thing and she didn't like it. She didn't like the way his voice became lower or how pained it sounded.
She climbed closer to him in bed, sat down on her calves behind him as she gently hugged him, one of her hands running through his hair, playing with his curles.
His body reacted like it always did, at first he froze then got used to the feeling of being touched, trying to unknowingly get closer to her to try and get lost in her presence.
"You can talk to me, E. You know that, right? I'm here for you."
She kissed his neck, then one of his shoulderblades through the material of his t-shirt, doing her best to try and make the tension from his body disappear.
He took a hold of her hand, the one that was resting on his shoulder and kissed it, ran his fingers along the back of it.
"I just had a phone call with my dad."
The sentence was sudden, but the honesty didn't make her anxious. Instead she kept on playing with his curles.
He never talked about his family. At least not to her. This was a sign of trust and it made her dizzy.
"Did something happen?"
"No, it's... I don't know." his uncertainty was painful to hear. "Nothing has to happen sometimes, you know."
He never talked like this and it scared her.
"You do love me, right?"
She didn't know whart hurt more: the way he said it or that he felt like he has to ask to make sure she does.
"What are you talking about, E?" she gently tried to make him look at her and when their eyes met she continued: "Of course I do! 'Wouldn't leave for the world, 'you understand? You're my pretty boy" she said, calling him what their friends teased them with "and I love you more than anything."
There it was - the slight blush after a compliment, his cheeks became pink and she noticed that like a sixth sense even in the dark.
"What made you say that?"
"It's just... everything is always about my brother and sometimes he forgets that I'm also his son."
She didn't ask questions. She just leaned closer to his face, despite their weird position, and kissed him, slow and gentle as her hands softly explored his body and hugged him, making him feel damn well that to her he is precious. And he kissed back, but so hungrily that her heart hurt. She felt him shiver and sensed that his heart is full of love and adoration. She didn't understand - she never will, how no one appreciates him as much as she does when he has so much love to give.
She broke the kiss after a while and smiled at him.
"Well I can tell you that you are my boyfriend and I love you more than anything. And I'll for sure kick your dad and brother in the balls if I have to."
In that moment she understood. She understood why he reacted to her touch the way he did, she understood where that starvation for love came from. That night she felt her heart grow, it became full of the need to protect and love and prove.
As they lied back down and pulled the covers up, Ethan hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go. And while she made sure to remind him how loved he is, she forgot to realize that Ethan never mentioned that he has a brother before.

Hero gets abducted by other villain
When the villain heard that their hero had been upducted by someone other than them, they were severily offended. Everyone knew that a hero and villain would be exclusive once they fought eachother enough times.
Seems like the newbie didn't get the memo - or they are ignoring it on purpose.
When the villain turned up to the newbies lair the hero actually came running out, beaming when they saw the villain.
“I'm so glad to see you! I just barely managed to escape!”, the hero rasped in a hurried voice.
After a quick check-in the villain turned to the newbies lair again, to which the hero asked starteled : “What are you doing? We should leave! Quick!”
The villain shook their head, replying : “They broke the mutal code of cooperative Villainy and Heroism!”, and stormed in.
Reluctantly the hero followed. In the sanctum the villain stood arms crossed with one of the most menacing looks on their face, anyone had ever witnessed.
The newbie was sitting in a luscious, clishee chair, hands folded, with elbows resting on the wide armrests - a textbook-villain-pose.
They were looking down on the villain as if they had the upper hand.
“I see, so you did come to your heroes rescue..”
The villain sighed silently, an annoyed expression they glared at the newbie.
“Our parents will be so dissapointed in you”
The hero gaped at that, looking from one to the other with an open mouth.
The newbie, who turned out to be the villains younger sibling, ground their teeth, before grinning again.
“Like they were in you, before I helped you out a bit?”, they bit back, not happy with the villains reaction.
“So it was you, huh? It only proves how new you are to the buisness. No villain with a pinch of pride would commit such things.”
With the momentum of anger, the newbie stood up, hands gripping the end of the armrests with force. It was visible in their face that they were searching for a fitting comeback.
The villain continued their speech with a stern face : “It is abundantly clear how you never listened to our parents, when they tought you about the rules of being and becoming a villain. Since you clearly didn't respect the exclusivity clause, which states that when a hero and villain keep clashing and neither of them has an exclusive counterpart they are now their obligated counters.”
“Those rules are dumb and outdated!”, the newbie screamed, slamming their hands on the desk before them.
Suddenly, when they glaced over to the hero, they regained their composure, a grin splitting their lips again.
“It seems you don't know your hero as well as you thought, though! You didn't even know that they have been replaced!”
And yet again the villains reaction wasn't as expected. They had only raised an eyebrow - no shock or surprise on their face.
The newbies grin faltered, face becoming angry again. Their mood swings resembling a spoiled toddler.
“You don't seriously think, just because a shapeshifter, that looks like my hero, gave me a certain token, that I'd trust them?”
Now the "hero" was shocked as well, their form faltering slightly.
The villain turned their head slightly in the direction of the shapeshifter, giving a slight himt of a smile.
“No, no, don't worry. You're doing a great job. I would advise you to find a different boss tho.”
With a change of attitude they whipped their head back around to their fuming sibling.
“Now.. Back to you.
You seriously thought, you could trick me with one of the oldest tricks, perfectly recreated by book?
You seriously underestimate me.
Or.. You overestimate yourself.
Because all your friends thought you were cool, because you used our parents status to making up for your lack of skills in this field.”
Shaking their head, they sighed, just before their sibling lunged at them.
They didn't waver. Not even a bit.
Only a moment later they showed why - their siblings attacks went right through their form.
“You have so much to learn..
The actual token is equipped with GPS and I'm not even here.”
The villain grinned victorious, as their projection vanished with the end of their sentence, at the same time a distant explosion was heard.
The shapeshifter finally slipped back into their comfort form, as their boss was absolutely loosing their shit, throwing a screaming fit.
But that didn't concern them anymore, since it was the end of their shift.
Somewhere distant the villain and the real hero, who comically was a shapeshifter themselves, reunited.
Later that day, the newbie was dragged out their parent-sponsored lair by their ear by their parents, berating them after a call and video by a certain villain.
They were obviously mad, how a spawn of the people who implemented most of the villainy and heroism rules, could break them so easily and think their parents would be proud..

BTS MASTERLIST ♡.°₊ˎˊ PLAYLIST FOR THIS CHAPTER
Tumblr media
Present:
whenever fall was around the corner your parents always forced you to spent the holidays at your grandparents place. you didnt minded that because that meant you could spent all your time in their big library. as a child you discovered many gems there; starting with books about warriors and ending with stories about dragons. so it was no suprise for your grandma that you hugged her with the biggest smile on your face after exiting the car. the weather was nice while the dry leaves crunched softly under your shoes. before you entered the mansion, you putted your luggage into your grandpas hands. every other family member would had been mad at you but not him. he knew how badly you wanted to run into the library, so you could stick your nose back into those big books. on the way inside you nearly slipped on the stone floor at the entrance hall. the grey stones were always so smooth that many already slipped there. including your grandpa who "broke" one of his legs because of it. as you ran down the hallway you could already see the big wooden door. right behind it was your paradise, a paradise full of stories about the past. with both hands you opened the heavy door and was greeted with the scent of old books. it really felt like heaven as the door closed automatically behind you. nothing could stop you anymore as you roamed through the various shelves. most of the books were already known to you, so you searched for new ones every visit; knowing your grandma would hide them between the other books. it took you 2 minutes to finally reach your favourite spot in the library, an open space with big windows and a single desk in the middle of it. to your suprise a book was laying there, wide open and ready to be investigated by you. strange, your grandparents would never leave a book in the open, especially with the sunlight shining on it. they always mumble things about "old books" and "they need to be protected properly". well, it wasnt your problem anyways so you crept closer and took a seat on the wooden chair. on first glance the book didnt looked interesting, some pictures were in it but that was all. most of the text was unreadable, indicating that this is a super old book. as you flipped through the pages a loud noise behind you, starteled you. as you turned around in the chair, your ellbow bumped against the book; pushing it to the edge of the desk. before it could hit the ground you were able to catch it. in the process a picture fell out from between the pages. weird, that wasnt there before. after you put the book back onto the table, your hand reached out for the picture on the ground.
the paper felt old between your fingertips and you were scared you could break it. carefully you twisted it, curious you squinted your eyes as you were finally able to look at the picture itself. your eyes met with a young beautiful boy, he smiled at the camera ... or at something behind the camera. something about his face told you that you know him which wasnt possible right? eagerly you turned the picture again but on the back was no description .. only a date; 1920. it was really old. after putting the picture back on the table you started to flip through the pages of the book again. there, between the last three pages were more pictures. some were glued on the pages but others arent. on every single one of them was only the date "1920" written, nothing more. it was also always the same boy, over and over again. as you kept looking at him something inside of you started to sting.
"who are you ..?"
whispering to yourself you turned to the last page, thats when another photo slid towards you. on it was a big tree with the boy leaning against it. as you grabbed it your hand started to shake, who would make such a picture? the boy didnt smiled or laughed like the other pics you saw about him. this time his face looked peaceful, one hand rested on his stomach. the pic was kinda brownish but you were able to recognize that the dark spot on his stomach, was blood. out of nowhere your head started to hurt badly. the pictured slipped out of your hand as you grabbed your head with both hands. something was wrong with you; a faint voice was heard inside your head ... and something which sounded like crying?
"no...no! wake up! you cant leave me like this! please! ... you promised you would stay, you promised we would ... grow old together ... please dont leave me Jungkook!"
pressing your eyes together you grabbed the photo again; as you turned it there was only one single sentence; sorry that i couldnt save you. it was nearly unreadable. turning the picture back, the pain inside your head slowly fainted. Jungkook ... you never heard that name before in your life. is this boy Jungkook? for a moment your gaze went to the big windows in front of you and thats when you finally noticed it.
with a fast motion you pushed the chair back, not caring that it made a loud noise after hitting the ground. on the way outside of the library you nearly slipped again and also bumped into your grandma. the confused look on her face was more than visible as you said sorry to her and kept running towards the entrance. cold sweat was running down your neck as you crossed the flower fields of your grandparents garden. your grandma will be mad with you later but that didnt mattered right now. out of breath your feet finally came to a stop as you reached the top of a small hill. the view from here was breathtaking but thats not the thing which drew you here. slowly you lifted your hand up, still holding the picture as you looked at it. the location was the same, this was the same damn tree. what happened here? why does your grandma have those pictures and why does this young man seemed so familiar to you? no matter how hard you tried to remember it, no one came to mind.
exhausted you walked over to the tree just to sit down against it, like the boy in the picture did. so, this was the place he died but what had happened to him? why was he bleeding and why did you heard the crying voice of a woman inside your head? again your heart started to ache all of a sudden. this wasnt normal.
"were you looking for me?"
a voice and a touch on your shoulder made you jump. the moment you turned around, no one was there. your mind played tricks on you, yeah that must be it. the long drive and the lack of sleep was getting to you ... nothing more.
"dont act dumb, i know you like roses"
there it was again
"w-who is there?" pressing the picture against your chest you kept looking around.
silence. slowly you took a step closer to the tree
"you know, your smile always reminded me of sunshine"
you froze. slowly you reached out for the tree and before your fingertips were able to touch it ... a strong wind came up.
"dont be shy! this will be awesome!"
"Wha--....AAAAAH!"
out of nowhere someone pushed you. fast you closed your eyes, waiting for the impact of the tree against your face ... but it didnt came. somehow you ended up on the soft grass, hitting your head on the ground. the pounding pain made it hard for you to stand up again, so the first thing you did was sit up. holding your head with one hand you tried to search for the picture with the other one. it was gone, the picture was really gone. how were you able to lose a picture just because of a stupid fall? your grandma will kill you if she finds out about it. still rubbing your head you looked around, somehow the tree ended up behind you. its almost like you fell right through it. after your eyes scanned the area they went back to the spot where the mansion of your relatives was standing but .. what was that? right there were the mansion was earlier ... was another house. a house you never saw before in your entire life. this cant be right, something was horribly wrong. hectic you were searching for that picture in the grass, sliding around on your knees not caring if your jeans will get dirty.
as you crawled through the grass your right hand touched something smooth? slowly your head turned forward again, the thing your hand was touching; was a shoe. a black and shiny shoe. your gulping was louder than intended as you slowly looked up. every possible scenario was playing inside your head but not the sight you were met with. above you were a young man, with the brightest smile and in one hand he held the picture you were looking for.
"i think you lost this?"
a bit clumsy you got back to your feet as you took the picture back with a small; thank you. to your relief the picture wasnt damaged, a sigh escaped your mouth as you turned back to the man. after doing that you immediately stumbeled a few steps back. thats not possible. this is a damn dream. seeing your shocked face the man scratched himself on his cheek a bit.
"i-its you.."
your voice cracked as you sunk back into the grass. right in front of you stood the man of the various pictures. the man who leaned against a tree, dead ... the man who left a heartbroken girl behind as he had died.

synopses and propaganda under the cut
Zagreus
Synopsis
Zagreus sits inside your head
Zagreus lives among the dead
Zagreus sees you in your bed
And eats you when you're sleeping.
Propaganda
ok so, its the 40th annivercery!! its not offical as the show was off the air at the time, but still!!!! every single companion and doctor actor Big Finish managed to get they got!! but do they play their parts? ...actually not really! here we have the end of an arc that two seasons coming, Charley and 8 has been through a lot, and at this point their story comes to a starteling and rather horrid conclusion! (OR IS IT?) Charley, who has been rescued from death by the eight doctor, rescuing her when he was not supposed to, has been through a lot, and even as that got solved last episode, by saving her from becoming a portal of death to galifray (a long and better constracted story XD), the doctor and the tardis has sufferd a huge explosen of an anti time bomb! making the doctor to become infected with an anti time infection! making him concive himself as the childhood time lord rhyme known as Zagreus! so now he must distory the entire univerce hahaha, because apperently Rassilon, ie one of the og creatorss of galifray socity wants to make the doctor into Zagrues so he can use him to distroy his emenies!! by distroying him body and soul!!! but what's this??? his former selfes as random people around the time stream coming in with the steal chair????? all led by a very rightfully annoyed Charley because the doctor refused to kill her as she asked because she loves him???? what the fuck will happen next!! all led delightfuly by Romana and Leela, and K9, and a rather jealous and EVIL tardis played by the Brigadier himself!! in between this 3 HOUR LONG epic and delightful advanture, apart from the absolote chaos of the event, you will get a suprisingly beutifull speaches filled with exploration of the meaning of love, of friendship! of a love so strong that it shall forfit between dimantions and also canon, the doctor explores what it actually means to be in love with a companion! and Charley, explores what it means to love him even more strongly back! what it means to be the doctor!! and the fact that the distruction of the tardis is actuall the thing stopping him from completely losing himself to loss and grief 😭, the absolote hammering in of the fact the coraption of time lord scoaity and Rasilon's bigotry, and finally someone understands that if you corrupt the Doctor, you have the absolotle potancial to distroy the entire univerce!! Paul Mcgann screaming for amazing hours, as he has the best time playing the baddy and people who are not the doctor!! India Fisher as Charley giving it her all and being amazing at it!! (also the fact that this delightful story is the leadthrough to one of the most terrefying stories of doccy who history, Scherzo! as it explores the themes of this story in a much more detailed way! but that's a horrefying story for another day XD) (@geronimomo-spd )
The 30th anniversary special is overly long and complicated but mostly it is INSANE ! Alice in Wonderlands, giant animatronic rabbits, Vampires and an evil doctor who hAMS it up,,,,that and 4 different doctors as well as TONS of companions plus the Briggs who is actually the TARDIS. it makes no sense! Compels me tho. Everyone says it with me : Zagreus sits inside your head Zagreus lives among the dead Zagreus Sees you in your bed And eats you when you're sleeping It's the best anniversary special day of the doctor whomst ? (@gnougnouss )
Scherzo
Synopsis
Once upon a time...
There were two friends, and together they travelled the cosmos. They thwarted tyrants and defeated monsters, they righted wrongs wherever they went. They explored the distant future and the distant past, new worlds and galaxies, places beyond imagining.
But every good story has to come to an end.
With no times or places left to explore, all the two friends have now are each other. But maybe that's one voyage too many. Maybe they'll discover things they'd rather have left undisturbed... hidden away in the suffocating, unfeeling, deafening brightness.
Once upon a time. Far, far away.
Propaganda
It’s a great and fucked up dissection of the Doctor and Charley’s relationship, with a healthy dose of body horror (anonymous)
you will never look at the handshake emoji the same way again (october)
Really creative concept. Puts 8 and Charley into a situation where they have to confront their relationship and what they mean to each other while dealing with an incredibly engaging creature. I can't name an audio that suits the medium better and Ive been consuming Big Finish at an alarming rate. Also noises™️ (anonymous)
Absolutely INSANE episode back when big finish was allowed to get WEIRD weird it has everything: heartfelt discussion about the doctor/companion relationship, love, cannibalism, body horror, the exploration of a very alien world. All of this while making full use of the audio medium in a story that could simply never have been done anywhere else. It's a must listen for everyone. (@gnougnouss )

TLK Christmas - Christmas with Aethelstan (Belated)
Tumblr media
"Hey, you comin'?" You slip your hand into his.
Aethelstan looks up, starteled. But he smiles at you. "The feast is about to start. Lord Uhtred sent me to get you." You murmur. "Tell him I won't be long." He says. You shake your head. "I'll stay with you." You reply.
Aethelstan brings your hand up and kisses your knuckles.
"You don't have to." He murmurs. "But I want to." You reply. Aethelstan pulls you close. "You should be feasting." He whispers. He noses face into your neck. "I'd rather be with you." You reply. Aethelstan smirks against your skin. "No matter where?" He asks teasingly. "No matter where." You affirm.
"But we should not miss the celebrations." He whispers. "We can miss a few minutes of it. no worries." You reply gently. "More than a few, I may hope." He says. "What have you planned?" You whisper. "Nothing. I was actually going to pray, but now that you are here..." Aethelstan grins. His breath tickles your skin. You can't help a soft giggle.
Aethelstan backs away minutely.
"Can I kiss you?" He whispers. You titter a soft giggle. "Of course you can, silly. You cooe. He grabs you by the hips, pulling you bodily against him. "Then I shall." He replies.
He leans in and presses his lips firmly against yours. Your heart skips a beat, but you kiss back happily. Surely Lord Uhtred won't mind if you are a bit late... right?

naruto isn't feeling like a boy today and her body reflects that. its a step further from the sexy jutsu that gives her tits and a vagina instead of just henge-ing her body to look like the have. jiraiya's booming laught filters through from the guy's side of the onsen as he holds a conversation with a local. it's a nice backdrop to her own empty pool and naruto closes her eyes and just lets herself drift. the past weeks have been way to taxing and just letting her body float along the hot water feels like heaven. a giggle tells her she's got company and naruto startels. she hadn't heard anybody enter but as she looks a naked readhead pulls at the towel of another girl, this one looking uncomfortable and clutching at it as though her life dependet on it. maybe naruto should have just sucked it up and changed back for the duration of the bath because she can't stop staring. jiraiya had teased her endlessly the first time she had gone to the womens part of the onsen but it wasn't to perv in women. or it hadn't been because now she can't stop staring. there is something tantalising something painfully familiar about the uncomfortable girl. she seems to be in naruto's age range, they both do, and her black hair, dark eyes and pale skin break her heart. her creepiness must have gone on for too long because suddenly she looks away from the readhead and meets naruto's eyes. naruto can't even feel shame at getting caught, spellbound in her gaze. then, the readhead uses her distraction to finally pull the towel away from the girl and throws in behind her to a dry spot.
"there you go, sa-" a hesitation "-yaka. now this isn't so bad right. come on." she pulls sayaka behind her and guides her into the water. sayaka apparently having surrendered to her fate. "you know i don't know why you're complaining so much, you look so beautiful like this." then, to naruto's horror she turns around and asks her "doesn't she look beautiful? you were staring you must think so, too." she is. but naruto had been staring because she saw someone else in her. looked through her undefined, soft civillain body and into the face of someone almost familiar. still, she nods awkwardly and as she tries to drown herself she hears sayaka tell the other girl that "obviously, she was staring because of you." "you think i'm pretty?" the redhead ask, teasing but also pleased and more embarresed than when she had tranced around naked without even water to cover herself. "sure, karin." the name is spoken defeated but sounds like a reward and naruto would give a lot to hear her own name from these lips, to understand why it's so unfamiliar yet rings every bell in her brain. it only gets worse from there. karin presses herself close to sayaka, their whole bodies touching and continues teasing her about every possble topic. it's careless and relaxed and naruto misses sakura and sasuke with a painful pang. until two years ago she's never had friends and even then they hadn't been as close, they all to scared of different things to do so. but it's not just that she misses her friends but also the realization that she's just as bad as jiraiya, no worse even. she isn't just peeking but put herself into their bath. and now she's staring again - her, currently, brown frindge now wet enough to drip fall into her eyes and obscure her wrong doing even just a little. black hair entangled with red. skin sliding over skin. soft bodies pressed together. there is a heat in her lower belly but more is the feeling of inadiquacy in her body at the sight of them. her body is too strong, to broken despite the kyuubi not allowing scars - and hadn't that been an answer to a thousand questions-, to false. it isn't even her own body but something she forced when her original shape got to uncomfortable. black eyes meet her own again and naruto can't deal with this right now. it's bringing up feelings and memories in her that are too much for her poor heart to handle and she gets up. she's uncomfortably aware of her entire body but she's a shinobi and shinobi don't shy away from nudity or inpracticality. as she leaves she bids them a friendly goodbye but sayaka's gaze burns holes until she gets around the corner. she feels uneasy and has too much energy, adrenaline filling her veins and every single insting screaming at her to move to fight. instead she drops the transformation, and makes her way over to jiraiya. he's annoying and pervy but his overwhelming presence never fails to make her feel protected. at his questioning gaze she just shrugs and sinks deeper into the water trying to ignore the way her body isn't what her mind wants. tries to ignore karin's voice drifting over or the occaisional comments sayaka makes. it's incomprehensible what they're talking about without channeling chakra but naruto surpresses the yearning to do so or to go back over and instead focused on the conversation between jiraiya and the civilain.
