“Everything in him recoiled. The water was cold against his legs. His body had gone numb and yet he could still feel the wet give of his brother’s rotting flesh beneath his hands. It’s shame that eats men whole. He was drowning in it. He was drowning in the Ketterdam harbor.”

Sound - A Triduum Story
Malchus can feel the heavy gazes of the others. He ignores them. His own eyes are pinned to the door they guard, listening to the drip of water condensing and dropping onto the floor. There is no rain, but the air is damp, as if the heavens are drawing out the wet stores of the earth in preparation for a storm. 
Customarily, the chill would make him wish for his bed. He’d grumble with his fellows about the weather, about the work, peppering complaints with a few stout curses. But there is no discussion tonight. Malchus sits hunched forward, forearms braced on his thighs, and he waits.
What are they waiting for?
Cold fingers touch the lobe of his left ear. He turns to see Jesse, who’d touched him, withdrawing, fingers curling into his palm. The apology is gruff. “Just wanted to see.”
That’s a lie, thinks Malchus, turning back to the door. They’ve already seen tonight. What’s left is to believe.
Malchus doesn’t ask permission before he rises, taking the flask which hangs on a wall hook, and the keys there beside it. The eyes of the others follow. He unlocks the door and slips in, shutting it behind, and then pauses, palm flat on the wood. He takes a breath. 
Drip.
Drip.
The Nazarene’s hands are chained so that he must stand. His head bows, forehead resting against the bruised back of his right hand. He lifts himself when Malchus enters. His lips, which had been moving silently, still.
Malchus holds out the flask. Then, as an embarrassing afterthought—the man is in chains—he uncorks it. 
“It’s just water,” he assures when the man doesn’t move to drink. He tips the flask close enough to meet the cracked lips. The Nazarene swallows twice and then pulls back, chains jingling. His face is wet. Tears, Malchus thinks, until he hears the drip of water dropping onto the man’s head. It slides down his temple and dirty cheek, carving a clean track through the crust. Malchus re-corks the flask.
It’s not quite fear that he feels. He had felt fear on his knees in Gethsemane, blood down his neck and a howl on his tongue. The world was silent, then, and shrieking, dizzy with pain and the terror of new loss. When strong hands cupped his face, he clung to them. He grabbed hold of words he could not hear but lips he could see moving, breath he could feel on his face, brown eyes he could see.
And then, he could hear. 
It was as if he’d never before heard sound, not true sound, but only echos, half-formed, half-heard, until that very moment when he heard truly. Each noise was crisp and new. Around him were the night birds stirring in the trees, the puffed breath of the disciples, the crackle of licking flame, the creak of leather belts. He heard them all, and he hasn’t stopped hearing since. Creation is vibrating, uncountable voices overlapping in the same tremulous song. Even the breeze seems to have a voice, and the water running on stone. Even his own heartbeat. They cry out when the rest of the world is silent.
“What did you do to me?” Malchus asks, voice barely above a whisper, for everything is new and he cannot make sense of it. 
The Nazarene’s smile isn’t mocking. It’s as quiet as his voice, and it crinkles the corner of his good eye. “I know how long you’ve waited to hear.”
They’ve never met, of course. Of course not. This man doesn’t know him. How could he? Malchus has taken great pains to hide his gradual loss of sound. Each year, the muffle covers his ears a little more, stealing his senses, deadening the world to him. If he misses a call, he plays it off. If he cannot hear his wife calling, he feigns captivation by his task. He does it well, he thinks, well enough. Perhaps his wife suspects. But only he knows, only he and his God. And this backwater Nazarene with an accent pulled from Galilee’s fishing waters—because Malchus can hear the accent now—cannot know Malchus. How could he? No, he does not.
But he knows. 
Malchus is sure, standing before this man who made him more than whole, that he is known. Known, and known truly. And here stands Malchus, his jailer. His enemy.
“How could you know?” he asks, eyes searching the Nazarene’s. The water drips, drips. A rat scritches at a bit of stone. “I can’t do anything for your case. They’re bringing you to Pilate.” His grip tightens on the flask—his only offering—and the stale water it holds. The words pour out of him. “I’m a guard. They told us to go, so we went. I had no stake in it, see? See, we were told to go. I was told to go. I never intended—”
“Malchus,” the man says softly, almost fondly, as if he is interrupting a brother and not one walking him to his death. “Will you pray with me?”
The request startles Malchus out of his own thoughts. He pauses, wary of some trick. Without meaning to, his hand rises to touch the warm outer shell of his ear, tracing the connecting point between the cartilage and his skull. There’s not even a seam to show where it had been severed.
Mouth dry, Malchus finally nods, and the Nazarene closes his good eye. The water slides again down his temples. His words fill the damp space, and Malchus recognizes them at once, joining the recitation:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked shall I return.
The Lord gave—”
The man breathes in, and Malchus breathes with him.
“—and the Lord has taken away;”
Their breath stirs the stale air of the room. All has finally gone quiet. The Nazarene opens his eye and tips his head to look up, past the stone roof, past the courtyard and the trembling earth, to the heavens, spread out over them like a tent. The water no longer falls. The rat is silent. 
“Blessed be the name of the Lord,” he says.

we`ve had clive vs. sci-fi freeze ray let`s pit him up against something else. maybe temporal phenomena because that`s basically the same as being frozen. and dimitri is already trying to do time machines as well
Anon I love you but also I feel like you may have a personal vendetta against Clive lol
This one made me laugh because the WORK (and pettiness) going into these weapons is insane. Like Dimitri. Just kill him my man
Tumblr media
Dimitri really said 'Time-out isn't enough, I need your time to be UP' lol
Transcript :
Claire : Weren't you working on a time machine ?
Dimitri : yes, but first I need to make this interdimensional machine that could trap Clive in an other dimension and rid ours of him
Claire : That's called a gun, Dimitri.

BLOOM / WITHER
a quick pair of proof-of-concept sketches from last inktober. Still thinking a lot about death and resurrection, the parallels between Jim and Bones in ST:ID, and the symbology of the pomegranate in the myth of Persephone. Will likely become a bigger piece when I finally find the time

Just more AU and Canon interaction rambling, sjsjsjsjsksksjs. Sorry
Don is actually pretty prone to injuries, mainly since he's just clumsy. Most of the time his injuries will be pretty minor and then Donnie lets Raph patch up his smaller counterpart, as he knows the green-eyed turtle can do that well on his own.
It's one of the reasons Raph and Don even started talking to each other in the first place. Because even if Raph wasn't very fond of the AU kids at first, did he eventually learn to accept and even grow protective over them.
So, whenever Don managed to get himself injured again and both of them were just left to their own devices while Raph patched him up, they would start talking. Raph is normally the one to initiate the conversations, just asking some normal questions at first if he wanted to distract Don and the other would reply, although still with a very quiet voice. It did get better over time though and those small interactions helped Don come out of his shell (shskskdsj) and actually feel more comfortable around Raph. He used to feel pretty intimidated by the older turtle and didn't like being around him, mostly sticking with Donnie in terms of medical help.
But after warming up to Raph, he will also seek him if feeling ill or injured. And perhaps Raph feels honored to know that, since we all know he's a real big softie inside. :>
Tumblr media
⬆️
Don wasn't feeling too well that time and Donnie was currently unavailable to check on him, so Raph took over. He made sure the younger turtle was comfortable and watched over him. And even if he isn't the cuddly type, he will always have some hugs for a brother in need.🩷
