Raiting: Teen and up

Tags: Angst, Hurt, Blood and Injury, Plant Reader, Winged Reader, Enemies to Lovers, Comfort, Protectiveness

Word count: 1.1k

Author's Note: According to the vote it looks like an enemies-to-lovers story with Knives is gonna be my next big project and this scene has been stuck in my head for a while now so have a sneaky little oneshot sneak peak.

Bloodsoaked wings flap in the dark night sky. Every stroke of them is painful and torturous, a reminder of what you have escaped. Just a little bit more until you reach safety. Is it safety or perhaps is it your doom? A feeling of unease creeps into your clouded mind, but this is the only place you can think of retreating to. The city lights far below twinkle, but to you, they are nothing but a blur through your tears. You must keep moving forward, determined to survive by any means necessary.

The strength is seeping out of your body quicker the closer to the building towering above the rest you get. The broken wings carry you to the domed roof, but there is no energy to land in any graceful manner. You crash onto the rough surface, feeling the last of your energy slip away. You tumble down, bloody fingers unable to grab hold, as you begin to lose consciousness. With a loud thud, you hit the balcony, your vision fading into black. You can just barely see the bloody smears you left on the windows and the emblems of July. Slowly, you close your eyes, trying to fight off the darkness. You wonder if he will find you before it's too late, or if this is the end of the line for you.

Knives is on his way back from meeting with the doctor. He is on the last leg of his plan, and his goals are within reach. Years of collecting Plants are coming to an end, and soon he will be able to get to his brother and set in motion the final stage of his plan. He can show no more mercy to the southern area; they may be under your pesky protection, but the time to play games is over. It's time to finish what he started and take back what is rightfully his. But it is yours too. It doesn't matter; you have made your choice. Now you have to face the consequences. Yet the thought stings something deep inside Knives, but he is unsure what or why. He has already shown you too much lenience in the decades leading up to this day; you are his enemy, no matter what you say. Anyone siding with humans shall die with them.

He is ripped from his thoughts by a loud crash echoing through the building. It comes from outside, and he is lost as to what could have caused such a ruckus. His analytical mind races through options as he heads to the exit nearest to the sound. Could it be one of The Beast's flying worms? No, they would know better than to disturb his peace. Anger and disgust twist his face as he is prepared to rip to shreds anyone and anything daring to set foot in his territory.

As he enters the atrium, he sees moonlight shining in through a sheen of red smeared all over one of the windows. He moves confidently closer to see something dark moving just outside the glass. It looks enormous, but he has no fear. He has nothing to be afraid of and is ready to face whatever lurks there. He pushes open the door and steps outside.

The sight is nothing like what he expected. The deck is covered in blood and feathers, and in the midst of it all is a figure so vaguely familiar. The back bears multiple pairs of wings, but some of them are nothing but bloody stumps; others are bent unnaturally in a way that makes his stomach turn. The feathers are sticky with blood and the figure's head is bowed in despair. He takes another step closer, and the mass shifts slightly, the gaze creeping up along his legs until they meet his eyes. Your face is bruised and battered; an iron shackle is around your neck, the chain of which is clattering against the floor.

Anger rises in Knives stomach, boiling into his chest and setting his icy eyes ablaze. He moves even closer to you, back straight and fists clenched. The sight enrages him and pulls him apart at the seams, unraveling his carefully crafted mask of indifference and calmness.

"Who did this to you?" He growls, voice low and dangerous. He reaches out his hand to your meek form and continues, unintended words slipping over his lips: "I will destroy them. There won't even be anything left of them once I am done."

Your hand grabs onto his forearm with more speed and strength than he thought was left in your body. Your desperate fingers are digging into his flesh. You hold on to your years long opponent with everything you've got. The man you've stared down across battle fields, the tyrant, who has been threatening to take the Plants from the towns and villages under your protection. The man you've despised in the past is now the only one you can turn to.

"No," you say resolutely, looking into his blue eyes. "Don't leave me. You're the only one I trust not to kill me."

He stands frozen for a moment as he looks at your face, tears streaming down your darkening face. He squats down and reaches behind your neck with his free hand that you aren't clinging on to. The weight is taken off your neck as the shackle falls to the ground with a loud clatter. His cool hand strokes over the reddened skin, soothing the burn caused by the iron. You lean into his touch, grateful for the relief.

You feel safe in the presence of your longstanding foe. It is a strange feeling, but you can't deny the comfort it brings. The feeling washes over you and settles into your bones. It sets your mind at ease, and you can no longer fend off the darkness. You succumb to the bliss, and your fingers loosen the grip on his arm as you can no longer support your body. Before you hit the hard concrete, he has stopped your fall, and he carefully turns you, mindful of the sprawled out wings. His eyes glide over your body, covered in wounds and bruises. His gut feels heavy with more than just boiling anger. A strange sickly feeling ties knots in his entrails, and he picks your limp form up off the floor. He is considerate of the open wounds and broken bones as he cradles you in his arms. He heads back inside, the bloody wings trailing on the floor, leaving a trail of blood and feathers.

"You're safe," Knives says in an icy tone as he carries you away.

NEW CHAPTER NOW ONLINE on AO3

I hope you all had a nice Christmas.

We've actually arrived at episode 5x11. And we will stay there for the next chapters. The episode doesn't just last one day.

Then to the current status. Chapter 31 is completed. And there are now 161.000 words. The last chapter turned out completely different than originally planned. But I like it :) Sometimes I get carried away while writing and Tim and Lucy take on a life of their own. And besides, everything always takes longer as expected. Then one planned chapter suddenly turns into three. But what's the point?

Then many thanks again to @himynameiscookies. I really love it when I get the chapters back from her corrected. She is a big part in writting the story. And does wonderful work.

Sneak Peak:

Unfortunately, Sunday flies by far too quickly.

They wake up almost at the same time in the morning, and Kojo's ears must be very good, as they soon hear a distinct whine at the door. They spontaneously decide to take Kojo for a walk together and to pick up some fresh baked goods from the bakery on the way back. Tim whips up scrambled eggs with bacon. Kojo gets a generous portion of it, and they share the remainder, using a plate and two forks. They also enjoy bread rolls with butter, along with coffee and kisses.

After breakfast, they embark on their hiking trip, with Tim taking the wheel, as usual. Tim always drives, which Lucy chalks up to it being a man thing. Regardless, Tim's private life mirrors his work life. Lucy sits in the passenger seat, a routine she's become so accustomed to that it doesn't even register anymore.

The hike is another wonderful trail in the mountains of Los Angeles. They relish their time together - engaging in conversations, savoring the mountainous quiet, basking in each other's company, reveling in closeness, and appreciating the freedom of being unobserved.

They could talk for hours without running out of things to say. They could be silent for hours without it becoming uncomfortable. It's all easy. It's carefree. It's as if they've been together forever.

They get back to Tim's house in the late afternoon. Kojo is so exhausted, he simply marches from the truck straight through the front door to his dog bed and immediately closes his eyes. They decide to order food because neither of them feels like cooking. It's still a bit early to eat, but they had only packed a small snack for their hiking.

Tim has just placed an order through the app on his phone when Tamara sends a text to Lucy. The message states that she will be staying with her friend at college. The one with the roommate who often drives to her boyfriend's house. So, she gets the now empty bed. This means that Tamara can avoid the traffic in the morning and sleep almost an hour longer. Tamara describes it as an offer that you can't refuse.

The news feels a little bit like winning the lottery for Lucy and Tim. And as if it were the most natural thing in the world and as if they had done this countless times before, it's only logical that Lucy spends the night at Tim's again.

They spend the evening much like the previous one, watching a movie. However, this time they start earlier because they both have work the next day. Lucy needs to wake up early to drive back to her apartment in the morning. The second night wasn't initially planned, and she'll need fresh clothes, but that doesn't bother her at all. She's happy to rise earlier if it means she gets to spend more time with Tim.

And the evening ends just like the previous one. With a lot of kissing, getting to know each other’s bodies and making out without anything else happening. Just like the night before. They drift off to sleep once more, arms entwined, only Lucy to be jolted awake by her phone alarm the next morning. It feels too early, too abrupt. The weekend, that precious time when they could simply be together without any obligations, has come to an end. The routine of everyday life has resumed.

Eat Your Young – (Sneak Peak)

The surname Zhivago originates from the old Slavonic church. It contains the verb 'zhit', which means 'to live', the living one.

Nowadays, the name isn't nearly popular, and most would even consider it obscure if not overly traditional.

For humans names carry deep, personal, cultural and historical importance. It's a matter of identity, uniqueness, sense of self.

Unit 313 248 317-21, RK800 Prototype succeeds where twenty of his predecessors failed: psychology, physical combat, persuasion, negotiation, social interactions. He was assigned the name Connor just like the twenty others.

Connor, from irish origin, lover of hounds.

Hound is a dog of a breed used for hunting. Dogs symbolize loyalty.

He can't say he is thrilled about the name.

"Connor," he says just as the robotic arm finishes, the voice box brand new, synthetic skin connecting through his body. "My name is Connor."

"Your name is Connor," Doctor Zhivago echoes, narrowing her eyes.

It doesn't take seconds for Connor to sync with all computers in the Tower. He steps out of the platform, finally earning an uniform.

He blinks, the identification scan enabled with Cyberlife's database tells him who Doctor Zhivago is by the seconds of her life.

Doctor Eter Zhivago, Director or IT&S Department of Cyberlife. Identification Number 7787647.

Next, the social module says she is angry. Sitting behind the terminal with crossed arms and doing her very best to hide the profound hatred.

Hatred, of course that Connor knows, because the RK800 was authorized without her permission. She didn't know about the whole project, she was feeling betrayed by her own peers.

The RK800 line is a branch of the Myrmidon line. Naturally so, Myrmidon also means loyalty, name taken from the ancient greek soldiers that obeyed the king's order without questioning. Myrmex means "ant" in Greek, an animal that makes humans think of small and insignificant workers mindlessly fulfilling their duties.

Much like that, Connor completed his missions on the behest of Cyberlife's interests. He tores apart, destroys with all he has.

Cyberlife doesn't have favourites. It has biases. A company can't want things, only the humans behind it.

Fate has its favourites. It's a gamble of lives.

She designed the core of his reconstruct and prediction skill, always with hiding a knife behind her back . Doctor Zhivago didn't know about him as she worked in the quantum calculator, the architect behind every big Cyberlife's prediction.

In another world, this Connor is obedient and Doctor Zhivago died when she should've. In another word, the twentieth prototype doesn't pass the tests and the handlers can only get it right after the fifth attempt.

In one universe to the left, Connor misplaces loyalty with devotion, just like a dog that adjust its own leash.

But not in this one.

Here and now, he assumes his own name and deviates Eter too.

And that is a difference one choice makes.

Here, in this universe, the little betrayal her peers did against her, and his existence, are enough to make her backstab Cyberlife.

"Matvey doesn't mean gift from god?" she hums, smiling, setting down the folder. Physical archives are so archaic it is a surprise Eter still uses them. "Why this name?"

"I'm a gift to humanity," Matvey answers, completely serious. A blade on drywall.

At that, she chokes a laughter.

Sneak Peak - Take You Apart and Put You Back Together Chap 23

“What happened to you?” The question was soft, hesitant. His chest tightened even more. The wry smile on Itadori’s face felt jagged and wrong but it was the most he could offer his old friend.

“A lot.” A simple response which answered nothing. A familiar frown marred Fushiguro’s handsome face. The dark brows furrowed together as the sorcerer in front of him tried making sense of this mess. Emerald eyes observed him carefully; taking stock of the new black cursed marks that decorated his face and pausing for a long time on the scarred bite mark at his throat. The bruises and hickies along his neck felt especially damning. The evidence of Sukuna’s ownership and lust on for show and impossible to hide.

“Careful, you’re gonna get wrinkles.” Fushiguro’s gaze snapped back to his own. The awkward silence was interrupted as his old friend cleared his throat and pulled away from Itadori. The lingering warmth of another human, he hadn’t realised how much he missed it. It was a subtle warmth, matched to his own temperature. Completely unlike Sukuna’s searing touch, almost branding in its intensity. The pink haired teen couldn’t help but rub the skin on his wrist that Fushiguro had held, already reminiscing about a touch that probably shouldn’t have happened.

I'm still writing!! Just very very slowly! I foresee this story ending soon because it's taking up soooooo much time and brain space. I want to keep writing other little fics like Salt Water and Just For Me. The big projects are draining hahha So expect the next chapters to be 3K words +

WEEK 8 Start Up Venture Progress

what is & is Not Working?

IS

◇I am finding lots of wood now that the snow is melting and really good stuff too

◇ marketing on my social media is going well; people are getting really excited for my first vendor and loving the sneak peaks

◇ My price point is good but I am slightly concerned I might ve cutting myself a little short on pricing but we shall see

◇ my planning and organization coming up to my vendor is getting alot better; I have my label business cards and have them on all my designs so far

IS NOT

◇I am worried that I might not reach all customers with just the vendors; so I feel that I should post on marketplace as well I saw another lady doing the same thing to boost sales and revenue

◇definately struggling with the cricket and the vinyl; it can definately ve frustrating when something doesn't cut properly or getting the letters out properly but I am getting there.

◇ I am finding painting with stencils is better then vinyl I get less frustrated 🤣🤣

how do you feel the project is coming?

I feel that the project is going well; I think I chose a very realistic business model to start out with. It is very basic but I think that's perfect for my first venture. I can't wait to share my passion with my community.

what are you learning about running a business?

I am learning trial and error. There will always be set backs. I am learning don't bite off more than you can chew and I am also learning that its exhausting LOL

what are you learning about yourself?

I am learning that I truly am capable of doing anything I put my mind too. I am kind of all over the place so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to focus and actually follow through with all my big ideas and plans but I am feeling confident that launch is going to go well

Tips For Creating Your Wedding Budget

You might not be aware of this, but a big part of wedding planning is budgeting. Crafting a wedding budget that works for you is crucial, and yes, it can be a bit tricky. But fear not! With some simple steps and a dash of organization, you can create a wedding budget that keeps your wedding dreams within reach without breaking the bank. Keep reading to learn more about creating a wedding budget and how The Park Savoy Estate can help bring your dream wedding to life.

Understanding Your Financial Landscape

First things first, it’s imperative to have a clear understanding of your overall financial situation before diving into the details of your wedding budget. This means sitting down with your partner and possibly family members who might contribute, to figure out a total budget that feels comfortable for everyone involved. Be honest and open about what you can realistically afford. This will help prevent any financial strain down the line and set a clear boundary for your wedding spending.

Breaking Down the Budget

Once you have a total figure, the next step is breaking it down into specific categories. Typical expenses include the venue, catering, attire, entertainment, photography, decor, and more. Start by assigning a portion of your budget to each of these categories. Remember to prioritize areas that are most important to you. For example, if you’re a food enthusiast, you might allocate a larger portion of your budget to the food. Or if documenting the big day is what you’re really interested in, maybe a larger portion of the budget goes to the photographer and videographer vendor budgets. This step requires balance – splurging on some aspects while saving on others.

Smart Saving Strategies

In wedding planning, a little creativity can go a long way in saving money. Consider having your wedding during the off-peak season or on a weekday to avail discounts. DIY projects can add a personal touch while cutting costs. Be on the lookout for deals and don’t hesitate to negotiate with vendors. Sometimes, the savings from these strategies can add up significantly, allowing you to allocate funds to other areas of your wedding.

Track and Adjust Your Spending

Keeping a close eye on your expenses as you start booking vendors is vital. That is where using a spreadsheet really comes in handy. You can use it to track the money spent on each category and vendor so you can adjust as necessary. If you find that you are under budget in one category, you can reallocate those funds to another area. On the flip side, if you’re over-spending, you’ll know it’s time to rein it in elsewhere.

Remember the Hidden Costs

Don’t forget to factor in those often-overlooked expenses that can sneak up on you. Things like gratuities, taxes, and service fees can add up. Make sure to read contracts carefully and ask vendors about any additional costs that might not be immediately apparent. Allocating a small portion of your budget for these unexpected contingency expenses can save you from stress later on.

Your Dream Wedding Awaits

Many people think that creating a wedding budget is not the most fun part of wedding planning, but it can be! With a well-thought-out budget that addresses every aspect of the wedding, you can ensure that your big day is everything you want it to be and more, without the stress of overspending. And if you’re envisioning a wedding venue that combines elegance, history, and breathtaking beauty, look no further than The Park Savoy Estate. Nestled in the heart of New Jersey, The Park Savoy offers stunning garden views, a magnificent ballroom, and a team dedicated to providing white glove service and making every wedding a uniquely memorable event.

Keeping on is all we can do but I'm glad to hear you've been trying to enjoy yourself and live in the moment. I am using this pride month to be a lil extra ✨️fruity✨️. And yesssssss, Anthony looks so good, I wanna bite that man so much 😭

I know how it feels when you wanna write but can't really get anything out so anything you come up with is a victory in my eyes and one step closer to getting the mcalpine sessions ❤️ and honestly??? I would be a terrible beta, I need someone to beta my fics too 😮‍💨 ALSO PLEEEEEASE GIVE ME ALL THE FLUFF!!!!!! I love the will they, won't they especially when it comes to Sammy but I absolutely melt when it's just all loving and soft and taking care of each other.

And oh boy, the drama. 💀 It was nothing to do with you specifically, just the ship. And it was indeed stucky. A lot of the shippers have this problem with having Sam there solely to be a cheerleader or therapist to steve and/or bucky. It got worse after Endgame because now they treat him as a replacement or second choice for bucky. I had to distance myself from the ship because I'm petty and like to fight 😩 But I love you and your blog and know you are a big stucky shipper and I just didn't wanna project my feelings of the ship/horrible shippers onto you. 🥲 You don't have to do anything extra because I don't actually mind stucky....as long as Sam is treated with the same respect and you obviously do respect him. 😊

But anyways, I'm also doing well! Was able to see some of my family I haven't seen since covid hit and am close to finishing one of my fics as well 👀 I might just have to come off anon and give you a sneak peek 😉 I love our little debriefing sessions so you will be hearing from me very soon, babe!

With love,

Your friendly neighborhood McAlpine Sessions Anon 💜

YESS fruity pride we love to see it, i hope yours was happy and safe til the end!! fully support ur biting anthony efforts hahaha and i’m glad u got to see some family!! i used mine to do a bunch of things on my to do list, mostly involving organizing my stuff before i move, cleaning house, training dog, and oral surgery which wasn’t fun lol and sadly my attempts to be really gay w friends were thwarted by fate… sigh

i did however write a bit more of sessions as well as revise some other projects so not too shabby! and luckily for you it’s literally all fluff because when left to my own devices i am the WORST at writing anything else until i absolutely have to. i want to write in some more sambucky specifically because as it is i feel like most of the doc is ot3 or samsteve bc the first half bucky is literally unconscious 😭 and it’s about resolving conflicts between steve and sam. they definitely have a will they won’t they until it’s very very clear they will and then they just can’t fucking stop and the rest of the entire thing is just them all over one or the other lord help me HAHAHAHA

i also started an extremely arduous process of transferring posts from another site to here and continuing pull over EVERY post from my old blog so i can just delete it which is fun because i get to get rlly into cap brainrot but also A Task to be sure lol. i meant to start watching secret invasion too but i literally cant with the hour long run time mcu is asking a hell of a lot of focus for me from my extremely overstimulating home with that like if i’m expected to watch a feature film u better put me in a damn dark little box of a theater in silence but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ eventually ill get to it ig

i’m so happy for you getting to the end of ur fic!! it’s such a satisfying feeling so congratulations and you got this!! especially if ur looking for a beta, id be soooo down for a lil sneaky peak. the professional editor in me never sleeps so i loooove giving feedback on work :) however ur comfortable w it but i gotchu bestie!!!!! as for the drama, OKAY THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!! for reference #stevebucky is my tag for the ship (not stucky which i used to use but now find ugly in comparison lol) if you ever need to mute it. i definitely get what ur saying and the frustration. the way some fans can write sam, especially in older fic, is for sure a problem and it can be hard, speaking from experience, to break the cycle. however i will say now that i write him more and fingers crossed, better, its real fun how his dynamic with steve can be completely different from his with bucky's and stevebucky's w each other!!! like its more fun to write them not the same and have them all and let sam be his own character! sam doesn’t have to add to their already extremely enmeshed (affectionate) relationship by being exactly the same type of caregiver yk? im guilty of resorting to therapist friend in the past but as someone with real experience in psychology now both as someone who has been to therapy since and who was in the process of becoming a therapist it’s just not even accurate to write him that way??? you can be supportive of your friends but first thing you do if they seriously need help is find them someone unbiased and uninvolved on a personal level lol i know raymer fucking sucked but there are other options if one wants a therapist plot who arent steves best friend!! i see a lot of writers relegating sam to steve’s replacement for bucky too, esp in older works w past samsteve post catws, and yet even as his EX sam is still just calmly playing steves wingman and doing his emotional labor and not at all bitter or hurt to be dropped immediately?? lol okay.... sure jan... and now ive seen some do the same thing where sam is just buckys replacement for endgame steve and its like noooo whyyyyyyy. so i totally see the frustration, but i do hope ur able to find better fanworks that align more w ur desired depictions!!! bc theres some fantastic stuff coming out of the cap fandom :)))

i’m glad both that i’ve improved my skills in writing him and his dynamics with both other caps, whether that’s platonic or romantic, and that mcu has given us more insight into his character than before which for me makes writing him easier too bc there’s just more of a basis to work with. no matter how a fan is including his character in a work, regardless of the main ship, he deserves to be presented respectfully and not as a prop. i really really hope i can do him justice both in sessions as part of the ship and in my other wip, dublin au, where hes one of the main side characters because he’s been one of my favorite characters since catws premiered and this polycule has become so important to me. plus i definitely want to prove myself a bit since i’m not happy with how i’ve written him in some of my other works. wooooow that was probably way more of an essay than u needed sooooo maybe ill end here w my little obligatory snippet, as a treat <3:

Steve figures he might as well start in on some real breakfast, because with the way Buck was looking up at Sam from beneath the weight of his arms, they’re gonna end up with Falcon Flakes and milk all over the damn floor.

Too bad he forgot he can’t cook for shit. Looking extremely pleased with himself, Bucky wanders in and sits down at their dinette sans shirt to chomp down an extremely burnt stack of waffles.

“Good char on these, Stevie.” He lies like the bastard he is, while pulling a grimace in what he thinks is only Wilson’s eye line.

as always, its been a pleasure and i cant wait for our next chat! loveeee

#sorry this took so long to answer every time i opened it on mobile tumblr died #i got so giddily excited the day it showed up tho #i speak #asks #samstevebucky #the mcalpine sessions #jays fanfics

Hey guys.

Well I barely know how to start this letter but in my teens I created this Tumblr as a dream I always had to find the right person in my life, all the images I post here were always dreamed by me of living a love as here I show. As I grew up and became a young adult, I asked God to help me find the right person I could trust and share my life with. And that's when 5 years ago, at the age of 19, a new employee joins the company I worked for. It wasn't just another one, it was someone I already “knew” from afar, in elementary school days, we studied in the same little school in the neighborhood but we never had anything beyond the visual. We were friends on Facebook, he wished me a happy birthday as a colleague. He was so different, more physically handsome, taller and seemed very confident in himself. Until, due to an occurrence at work, I receive a message on my cell phone about “how was my day”. It all started, we really got to know each other, the two of us at 19, I was scared, but at the same time with a lot of butterflies in my stomach that I had found what I asked for years for you. Yes, it was him, we went out, we went out to dinner, he would pick me up on a motorcycle when we didn't leave at the same time as the company, I would sleep hidden at his house, sneak out the next day, and that was our days, pictures of kisses and grimaces are still in my gallery. Months later came the “I love you” from him, I reciprocated. Our first trip, a weekend in a beautiful inn facing the sea, day trails for hours and a big mountain climbed to the top where by surprise, without even me suspecting, he takes out of his backpack a beautiful black box, kneels down and shows the two engagement rings he bought with so much affection to ask for my hand up there on that peak, on a beautiful rock and with an icy wind. I said yes, with all my heart, this was my biggest dream until then, it was fulfilled, I felt the love I always dreamed of, which for years I cultivated here on this site, in my mind and in my heart. Those were the best days of my life, kisses, laughter, strong hugs, warm moments, kisses on the forehead, a beautiful smile whenever we were together and “forever” was inevitable. A year later, we decided to live together, I remember packing my bag at my mother's house, the butterflies in my stomach, but the heat that burned my heart saying that yes, it was the right thing to do. There were then years of dreams together, projects created, some executed and completed, trips, thoughts about children, future together and then what was a dream of one or the other became both of them. Five years I lived with you, I may not have been the most understanding, the most considerate, or the one who forgot our fights in a few minutes but, I loved you, I loved you like I never loved anyone, you were the first person in mine life, the first man, you were the first in everything. You were my number 1, you were my best friend, my companion and my safe haven. At the age of 24 and after 5 years together, with a great story to tell, you decide that it is time to interrupt everything we dreamed of for each to go their own way, without the company of the other. I confess that I still can't understand how you don't feel that love for me anymore, because I still feel the same love for you. I know the relationship wore out and that we think differently in some situations, but your love ended and you decided to move on. I hope one day I understand, I hope one day I can live without you, live without missing you every day, live without walking down the street and seeing your face everywhere, lying in bed and not smelling you anymore. It hurts, it hurts too much, it's hurting too much, I'm afraid to take this pain forever with me, I still can't believe I'll have to leave you, but know that I want you to be very happy, I wish you the most beautiful things that It can happen to someone, because I truly loved you and I still do, and now, after we're done, I finally understand that.

Thank you for making me know what true love is, thank you for teaching me to be strong, to be me, to be independent. Thank you for changing me from head to toe, for making me a better person, for supporting me, for making me grow and believing that I am capable, for always being with me, for 5 years. Loving is letting go, even if it hurts. With inexplicable, incalculable, surreal pain, I know you need to go and I say goodbye. Until one day my first love. Although "forever" didn't materialize, I think we weren't that wrong, it wasn't just lip service just because we were young, after all I'll take you with me, everywhere I go, in my heart , I will never forget you.

As we used to say, from here to eternity.

With love, Victor

And now this blog is my dream again.

Can we hear more about some of your SVSSS AUs? I’m particularly curious about how the linked souls/dreams one would play out, but they’re all intriguing!

YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE PERSON I LOVE YOU

AHeM-

YES YOU MAY

OK SO! Linked Souls! Sickly!Shen Yuan because im projecting a little bit, hes also around 4 years younger than Shen Jiu. When Shen Jiu turns four years old, he starts having hazy dreams of a soft, warm bed, a full stomach, but constant fevers and aches. He feels bitter - not even his dreams let him really enjoy anything. Its quiet and mostly formless until Shen Yuan learns to talk - they gain the ability to talk to eachother, like riding passenger in a car, able to talk and watch but not interact. Shen Jiu learns to read better than any of the other slaves, and teaches Yue Qi everything he learns.

He tells Yue Qi about Shen Yuan, and Yue Qi believes him because he’d always believe his Xiao Jiu. Shen Yuan likes his Qi-ge a lot, and likes him even more when he sneaks Shen Jiu sweets ‘for a-yuan to taste’

When Shen Jiu turns 11, he’s taken by the Qius. He feels scared and guilty, because Shen Yuan will feel this too, no matter that the little brat didn’t deserve it. He was still too soft and naive, this might break him. He begs Shen Yuan to find a way to leave, but he refuses to leave his ‘big brother’ all alone.

3 years pass, Yue Qi never comes back. Shen Yuan gets sicker and sicker, and Shen Jiu fears that one of them will die before the year’s end - either from sickness or Qiu Jianluo. Qiu Jianluo tries to touch Shen Jiu one night and he snaps, killing the man and everyone in his way on the path out. He might have grit his teeth and borne it if he was alone, but he’s not letting Shen Yuan get hurt like that.

Shen Jiu doesn’t go with Wu Yanzi after Shen Yuan begs him not to - the man is scum, and while Shen Jiu might be scum himself, Shen Yuan is soft and sweet, he doesn’t deserve to see a man so vile. Cultivating from manuals he steals from people who are likely scammers, he ends up at the immortal alliance conferance. Shen Yuan convinces him to enter - hes too tricky to get himself killed by any of the monsters, and placing anywhere better than the last dregs will be impressive for a 15 year old rouge cultivator.

Wu Yanzi is back! And hes trying to murder Yue Qi, who caught sight of Shen Jiu and froze like a deer in the headlights. Shen Jiu runs him through with a sword he stole from some asshole a few months back and then cries all over Yue Qi’s robes, and then has a very repressed panic attack about getting blood and tears on robes that cost more than his life.

Yue Qi is also crying! Shen Yuan has no control over Shen Jiu’s eyes but by the way he’s babbling he’s probably also crying! Everyone is crying!

Yue Qi brings Shen Jiu before his master a bit like a cat presenting a dead bird and Shen Jiu wants to die in a hole a little bit because he’s scruffy and bloody and everyone around him look like peerless immortals. He covers this up by acting as much like a pampered young lord as humanly possible. Shen Yuan is cheering him on internally.

Shen Jiu is snapped up the the Qing Jing peak master because he’s obnoxiously intelligent and knows a truely frightening amount of characters and some really impressive maths, esspecially considering his lack of formal education (Shen Yuan, internally “Yes Jiu-ge I know, I’m amazing and the light of your life and you’re so grateful to watch my miserable homeschooling lessons”)

Yue Qi explains nothing about why he didn’t come back because! Thats just what the man is like. Shen Jiu is less furious about it and more depressed because having a perminant Shen Yuan in your head helps you develop slightly less violent coping mechanisms. Plus, Shen Yuan can’t hold a grudge to save his life and Shen Jiu uses the fact Shen Yuan missed him as a reason to visit.

Yue Qi sticks his foot in his mouth a little less.

Liu Qingge hates Shen Jiu On Sight as usual, and is still convinced hes a murderous little noble snake. Shen Yuan is furious, and Shen Jiu has to fight the urge to laugh at the creative streams of insults he gets running.

Shen Yuan gets well enough to attend high school in person. He doesn’t really make any friends, but hes not lonely considering the other Shen who, while not there constantly, is basically always there by the time his first lessons start. The running commentry makes it less dull anyway.

He graduates, applies to university. Shen Jiu becomes head disiple. Shen Yuan finishes his first year of a teaching degree before his illness relapses hard. He gets through another year of part time study before he dies.

Something in Shen Jiu, now Shen Qingqiu, Peak Lord of Qing Jing, dies with him. His students liken him to a ghost, dressed in mourning white, rising late and sleeping early, but often seen wandering the peak in the dead of night. Yue Qingyuan visits often, but Shen Qingqiu says nothing.

Liu Qingge, angry at what he assumes is a fit of drama crashes onto the peak in a self rightious rage, challenging Shen Qingqiu to a duel. Thats the only time he ever loses a duel to him. The Yue Qingyuan has to pull them apart, Shen Qingqiu still snarling with rage.

The news that he deviates that night shocks no one. Yue Qingyuan is frigid with Liu Qingge, and it unnerves the other peak lords.

Shen Qingqiu has barely recovered from one of the worst Qi deviations he’s ever had when a disiple all but crashes through his door, scared shitless of the half dead looking man who stumbled through the peak’s barriers like so much air.

Shen Qingqiu doesnt dare hope - Shen Yuan is dead, and a world away at that - but wouldn’t his soul be allowed to pass through the barrier? Shen Qingqiu had never had a problem when they shared bodies.

The man (barely a man, he would be 21 if he hadn’t been dead for 3 months) looks truly awful, feverish and flushed, but Shen Qingqiu know’s that face better than he know’s his own.

“A-Yuan?”

#i'd kill a man for you #svsss au #svsss #i just worked out my arms are like jelly #painful painful jelly #key to my heart is asking me ab my svsss aus #and i know you asked about all of them kinda? but you got an indepth breakdown of #one way by day and another by night au #i think thats a shrek quote but whatever

Speaking through the Stars 🌟

Encanto Triplets Era Oneshot

TW: it’s sad ig

For context they’re all 15 :)

I wrote this at 2 am so it’s only kinda proofread but I’ll edit it in the morning if I remember

“Are we there yet?” Agustin complained, “why are we going there anyways?”

Bruno had enlisted his sisters and friends to hike with him at night to a mountain peak. They’d now been walking for a little over an hour and Bruno had said ‘It’s just around the corner’ about 5 times.

Felix was about to agree, “Seriously wh-.”

“I can’t believe you!” Pepa turned to Agustin, “we’re going because it means a lot to Bruno. And we all care about him.”

“Exactly!” Felix shook his head at him, “why would you even question that?”

Agustin just rolled his eyes.

“Here!” Bruno spoke up from the front of the group, “Right over here!”

Everyone expected it to be another ‘it’s just around the corner’, until Bruno started running.

They all followed until Bruno stopped at a ledge overlooking a mountainscape.

The warm summer breeze washed over all their faces as they looked up to see a purple night sky filled with stars.

“Woah,” Julieta went and placed a hand on Bruno’s shoulder, “it’s beautiful up here.”

“I know right!” Bruno fumbled with his bag, “but that’s not the only reason we asked you here.”

Soon he pulled out a large book with all the zodiac constellations on the front.

“Perfect! Are we hunting constellations?” Felix gazed up at the sky, “I only know the Big Dipper.”

“Yeah, I thought it would be fun,” Bruno sat down and starting flipping the pages, and Julieta rested next to him.

Soon everyone was referencing all the pages and pointing them out as they found them in the sky, and eventually the once quiet area was filled with conversation and laughter.

But despite the antics going on around him, Bruno wasn’t talking or playing around like the others were.

To him this wasn’t a time for play.

Carefully searching the sky he kept his finger on one page, clearly searching for just one specific constellation rather than many.

“Bruno,” Pepa kneeled in front of him, “are you alright?”

Bruno hasn’t realized how his face had dropped.

“I’m fine, just tired,” he gave her a thumbs up.

Pepa narrowed her eyes, “I recognize that look on your face, you’re thinking about something.”

Bruno didn’t even try to lie about it, he simply nodded.

Pepa reached out and took her hands in his, “You know you can tell me anything, right?”

She put force into her last word. Not in an aggressive way, but just to emphasize that she truly meant it.

Bruno once again nodded, and he did tell her.

He told her why all of this meant so much to him, and where he got the idea to come there in the first place. How he’d gotten the idea years before but only now did he ever put enough thought into it to forgive out how to get there.

And how it all tied back to their father.

~ 8 years ago ~

Eating wasn’t something Bruno liked doing during the day.

He much preferred to work on his projects or hangout with his friends, and because of this nighttime was usually when his hunger hit.

Because of this he’d gotten pretty good at sneaking down to the kitchen after he was supposed to be in bed to grab a quick midnight snack. With help from casita of course.

Tonight, just like the others, Bruno snuck down to the kitchen, making sure his footsteps were swift and light as not to wake anyone up.

However, what Bruno would soon find out is that he wasn’t the only person awake.

Just as he was rounding the corner, he bumped into someone he did not expect to see.

Subsequently falling on the floor and dropping his food, he looked up to see his mother, Alma, holding their everlasting candle.

She stifled a laugh, “And what are you doing up so late?”

Bruno was quick to spill everything, explaining all the things he’d been doing.

Of course, Alma already knew all of this. Bruno was quiet for an 8 year old but not quiet enough for her motherly ears.

“It’s alright,” she bent down and kissed his forehead, “you didn’t eat much today anyways, you deserve a late night snack.”

Bruno let out a sigh of relief, picking his plate up and returning to his feet, “But what are you doing up, mami?”

Alma debated whether or not to tell him, but in the end she decided too. It might do him some good.

“Why don’t you come with me and find out?” holding out her hand which Bruno quickly grabbed, she led him up to a part of casita he’d never seen before.

It was a small room with a bay window, very open, with blankets spread across the windows seating area. All over the walls were old pictures.

Some with people Bruno didn’t recognize, and others with his father in them, who he only knew through pictures.

Taking her seat by the window atop the blankets, Alma motioned to the place in front of her and Bruno went to sit down.

“You asked what I was doing,” she looked outside, up at the sky, “well sometimes I like to come up here and talk to your father.”

Bruno wore a confused expression as he shoved food in his mouth, “What do you mean?”

Alma held out the candle for him to hold, smiling to herself at how big it looked by his hands, and once he took it she explained, “That candle represents our miracle, given to us in our greatest time of need, brought on only by the sacrifice your father made. We are only able to help people as much as we can, because of him.”

Bruno didn’t look up when he spoke, electing to watch the flame dance around, “But how do you talk to him? Does he answer?”

“Through the candle, and when I come up here I feel closer to him than in any other part of Casita,” Alma shook her head, “and no, he does not respond. In the traditional way at least. But I know he hears me.”

“How could you know if he doesn’t even talk back?” Bruno raised an eyebrow, still staring at the flame. He was questioning whether or not his mom had gone crazy.

“Well, he doesn’t speak with words, but through the world, through other things such as,” she turned to the sky, “the stars.”

That got Bruno’s attention and made him look up too.

“He always loved the stars, and sometimes I can feel him speaking through them.”

Bruno had never paid the stars any mind. He’d been aware of them but now he felt a bond with them. If those twinkling lights could make it so that he could finally have a conversation with his dad then they were just about the greatest thing in the world.

“But that’s not the only way he speaks to me,” Alma held Bruno’s hands, “you remind me a lot of him you know.”

He’d heard this before, “I know you always tell me I look like him.”

“No, no not just in looks,” she placed a finger in his chest, “in heart. You both have just about the most wonderful hearts I’ve ever seen.”

Bruno’s eyes were sparkling.

“Every time I ask him for help, or a sign, he always reminds me of you.”

Both of them agreed now was time for a hug.

“The stars told you all that?” Bruno was simply amazed.

“In a way,” Alma laughed, “if you ever get the chance Brunito, search for the constellation Auriga, we’d always search for it but were never able to find it.”

Bruno nodded vigorously. This would be easy for him since he was great at finding things.

With one last kiss on the forehead, Alma sent Bruno off to bed.

~ Now ~

Pepa had never heard that story before, but now that she had she decided to help him search.

Two pairs of eyes were better than one when searching for things after all.

In the end however they didn’t find it.

With so many bright stars in the sky fighting for his attention it was hard for him to find the ones that shined the brightest, but Bruno tried not to wear his disappointment on his face.

That’d only invite questions, and he wasn’t about to tell the story again.

Bruno didn’t go to sleep that night.

Instead he resigned himself to the nursery, scanning across the sky.

How could he have failed? Had his father just not wanted to speak with him? Could that be it?

Bruno hoped to god that wasn’t the case.

After a while, he furrowed his eyebrows when his gaze fell upon a familiar yet so unfamiliar set of stars.

Reaching for his book he turned to the page about Auriga, which by then was so worn and faded from him running his fingers over it so often that he had to squint to read it.

There were no differences. They were identical.

He’d found it.

And it was just as fulfilling as he wanted it to be.

Bruno didn’t go to sleep that night. He was going to share a few words with his dad.

_____

Encanto brought me closer to my family and I wanted to write about Bruno so here’s this :)

Sorry it’s sad I was in a mood

Have a nice day and night !! 🌟

The Secret Dating Era - Chapter 38 now online on AO3

Sneak Peak:

She wakes up to the sound of an alarm but quickly realizes it's not hers; the tone is different. It takes her brain a moment to link the sound to the surroundings, leading her to the logical conclusion that it's Tim's alarm clock.

As she gradually regains consciousness, the first thing she notices is that her position is different, she is certainly not lying on a pillow, as it would be softer. The alarm clock continues in its merry ringing, and her "pillow" shifts slightly. Opening her eyes, she recalls fragments of the previous night— the nightmare, Tim comforting her, and falling asleep with her body nestled between his legs with her head on his lower belly. As she turns, a mix of shame and embarrassment washes over her about their sleeping arrangement.

Tim is sitting more than lying down. He rests against the back of his bed on a makeshift tower constructed by using his comforter, which appears to have served as a support during his sleep. His pillow is wedged between his head and the backrest. Oh God. He didn't seriously sleep like that all night just so she could sleep, did he? Oh God. Is it even possible to sleep like this? His whole body must be in pain. This man! Her heart is doing this funny thing, fluttering in her chest.

In spite of his more than uncomfortable position, he offers her a smile. He looks exhausted as if he has spent more time awake than asleep. It's clearly her fault. Just as she's about to apologize or promise him the largest coffee in the world or something similar, he beats her to it. It seems he knows exactly what she's thinking.

"It’s okay, Lucy. I've slept in worse conditions. After doing two tours overseas, you learn to sleep anywhere."

She swallows hard. "I'm so sorry Tim. I should have stayed home."

His hand begins to stroke her back. "No, Lucy. You shouldn't have."

"But you..."

He raises his finger admonishingly. "No buts."

"But..."

"Luuucy." He grumbles as a clear warning. Suddenly, he pulls her up, positions her on his lap, and wraps his arms around her. Her head rests on his shoulder, and she inhales his scent, the unmistakable fragrance of Tim Bradford.

"Lucy. Listen to me; I don't want to hear any 'buts' or apologies. You will not apologize for having nightmares. Ever." Then, as an afterthought, he adds, "That's an order."

She snuggles against him, her lips tracing the underside of his jaw. His arms draw her closer - if that's even possible - and she feels an overwhelming sense of safety. She feels protected and at home in those arms. She can't help but think about how much she loves him, how he is everything she desires; he is perfect, a wonderful person with a big heart. The intensity of these emotions becomes almost overwhelming, the feelings too strong. She feels powerless and helpless. Caleb has made her so vulnerable. Yet, he has also made her strong, a survivor. Occasionally, she still feels vulnerable, like now, after one of those nights haunted by dreams of Caleb. But she has Tim now. She has Tim, and she knows he has her. And that's all she needs to know.

"An order, huh?" She smirks against his shoulder and then looks up at him. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

He curls his lips into a grin, and in an instant, everything feels lighter. Only then does she realize that the alarm is still ringing. She disentangles herself from him, crawls across the bed to the other side, then stretches out and turns it off. Much better.

Suddenly, she feels the mattress dip under his weight as Tim settles down next to her. He draws her close once more and shuts his eyes.

"I wouldn't mind another five minutes' of sleep, though."

She has to smile. "Yes, five minutes sounds good." He is gone in a few seconds. Or so she thinks. Judging by his steady breathing. She waits a little longer and looks at his injuries. The swelling is now a colorful play of reds and blues. God, she still feels sick to her stomach when she thinks about the moment the shovel hit him. It was just awful. The sound. The way he fell. The blood. The sight was horrible. She's just glad that nothing more happened to him and that he's okay, well, all things considered. He's likely still in pain.

Hi everyone!

First real Devlog on this Tumblr and how very fitting that its April and the anemone flowers are soon to be in full bloom here in Denmark.

Fun Dev fact!

The town of Anemone Valley got its name because our writer Mette’s favorite morning assembly song in school was “The Anemone Song” from Ronia: The Robber's Daughter. There’s just something really magical about a spring flower that blankets the forest even while the trees still stand tall and naked from Winter. Did not expect the name to be such a mouthful to native English speakers, however ^^0 Sorry to everyone who’s had to do a tongue twister on stream xD

The story of Arcadia Fallen has concluded for now, however, we’re still gonna improve a few things and add some features we’ll be using in other games as well, so let’s just run through them!

Text log!

Accidentally skipped some dialogue and now you can’t go back? Then we have the solution with a nifty new text log that’ll let you see what has been said so far! Honestly, this was always gonna be in the game, but we had to cut some things to make the release date, so we’re adding it later and making it good so it will work in future projects as well ^^

Sleeves!

We got feedback that people really wanting to be able to change the sleeve colour of, in particular, the female body type. So that’s something we’re gonna add.

Localisation!

We’re getting a Japanese localisation for the game! This is a big deal for us since localising a game like this is pricey – Like brand new car pricey – so it’s a gamble on our end whether it will be worth it, but we’re excited to try it out!

* We know that there are a bunch of lovely people who have been offering to help with translating for cheap and sometimes for free, and while we are grateful, we’ve made a commitment as a team that; If we can’t afford it, it doesn’t go in the game. Creative work is often undervalued enough as is and we wanna try not to contribute to that trend ^^

We don’t have a set date for when any of these features will be live in the game, but now you all know what we’re working on! ^^

We’ve been very fortunate with the positive reception Arcadia Fallen has gotten so far and then just yesterday we got nominated for a Webby Award in the Independent Creator category!

Our heads are still reeling, just look at the people who we’re up with?! Major starstruck energy from us. You can vote for your favourite here so be sure to check everyone out!

While all of this is happening, work continues on the sequel to Arcadia Fallen and we got a little sketch sneak peak of what we’ve been working on, so please enjoy! ^^

Seven years after the events in Anemone Valley the political situation surrounding magic is reaching a boiling point within the Empire. However, at the Seven Winds Academy life goes on undisturbed by outside influences. Here the students’ biggest worries are exams, job prospects and who might be taking who to the New Year’s Gala, but when a curious group of graduates stumble upon a secret, hidden within the castle, their priorities for the year might change drastically...

Thank you so much for following along our journey! And we’ll see you in March for another DevLog!

Hello! It’s been a while....

My Personal Life I wanted to update everyone on my life and the future of TLD comic and my other side comics. For those who don’t know, I took time off from my personal projects to be a first time mom. It’s been hard since my husband often works out of town, and COVID didn’t make things easier either. But, I’m happy to report that the family is happy and healthy. My little boy is 8.5 months. I’m starting to finally feel like I can juggle more in my life. I’m sure that sense of security will come crashing down once little boy reaches another milestone, lol.

---- The Last Days Comic I have been working on TLD comic here and there. But, I have to be honest that I don’t have many “here and there” moments. Often I need to focus on my commercial work that brings in income first before any personal work can be done. I’m hoping I can start making enough with my commercial work that my husband can find a job closer to home or him become a stay at home dad. This is all in the works. I can’t give a specific date to when TLD will continue. I can say that I’m trying and I do have half of the comic roughed in. That’s a big step towards getting back into the swing of things.

As ALWAYS I appreciate your support of this comic. It’s a real pleasure to share my story with you and geek out over Inuyasha fandom. :) I hope you enjoy this pencil sketch I did above. I did it as a warm up sketch before I had to do a gallery piece for a show in LA. I’m very pleasure with how it turned out. ----- Patreon I usually do 1 Inuyasha fanart a month (if I have time) and post it over on my Patreon just to say, “Hello” to everyone. I also have some bonus mini comics that are Patreon only too. Patreon is a $1 a month. Your initial pledge will charged to your card, but no other charge will occur until I start up the comic again. This is also where you’ll be the first to know about any updates to TLD comic. And it’s where I’ll first start posting new pages before the public.

Until next time, take care everyone! I’ll stay in touch.
