whether or not i would fight the following eah students

im drunk and found this in my notes from 2021. 😭 I NO LONGER STAND BY SOME OF THESE OPINIONS. but most i do. a semantic sequel to this post

Raven Queen: no. hasn't she already been through enough? also i'd definitely lose

Apple White: yes. god yes. it would be so funny

Briar Beauty: maybe while drunk, but something tells me it would be a very bad idea

Ashlynn Ella: no. god, how depressing would that be? though maybe she'd have a chance if she went at me with a stiletto

Hunter Huntsman: yes, because it would be funny to see how he would try to avoid killing me instantly

Cedar Wood: no. what's the point? it's like trying to kick the shit out of a really polite coffee table

Cerise Hood: MAYBE IF I WAS FEELING REALLY MEAN. it would be funny in a similar manner to hunter, but with the added tension of me constantly going for the hood. i know ur shit cerise. don't play w me

Blondie Lockes: i consider fighting blondie lockes one of my primary life goals. i will curbstomp that bitch in the middle of her own livestream

Sparrow Hood: 100%, mostly for public spectacle. idk if i would win but I'm sure we'd have a wonderful time. unless he has his guitar on him because he would defo play dirty and just start swinging it like a mace

Duchess Swan: no thank you. ballerinas are strong and duchess stores anger like nutrition for the winter. she would break my neck

Darling Charming: i don't think so. depending where she is on public knowledge of her secret she'd either purposefully lose or just wipe the floor with me. awkward all round

Dexter Charming: maybe, because i think if he gave it a proper go he'd win and i feel like that would be good for his self esteem

Daring Charming: yes, because i know i'd win if i straight away went for his face. bust his lip open. it would humble him

Lizzie Hearts: no ma'am. maybe i'd fare better in hand to hand combat but i can't imagine she'd keep any less than four knives on her person and lizzie is not the type to hold back. im heading straight to hospital

Kitty Cheshire: no. it would be humiliating. i can't see how i'd even get a hit in

Maddie Hatter: absolutely not. i have no qualms with her whatsoever, also she'd definitely kill me by accident

Alistair Wonderland: sure, why not. i want to see what all that time in apocalyptic wonderland has taught him, and whether it cancels out his status as a fucking nerd

Bunny Blanc: no, because i don't want to go to jail for homicide. she is a 5 foot nothing rabbit who can barely stand up by herself. she'd die if i poked her with a toothpick

Chase Redford: NO. if he didn't want to fight he'd just silently let me hit him for like an hour, and if he was About It then he'd instantly fucking annihilate me. just leave the boy alone

Courtly Jester: I KNOW I'D LOSE BUT IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING. I HAVE TO FIGHT HER. i might even have a chance if she wasn't allowed to pirate any dark magic

Humphrey Dumpty: i feel cruel for even thinking about this. he's a skinny gamer with a physical predisposition for getting hit. it would be like shooting fish in the most depressing barrel

Hopper Croakington II: NO. HE IS MY FUCKING BOY AND I'LL PROTECT HIM WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE. also i could just flirt and then stamp on the frog

Faybelle Thorn: yeah sure. this may sound egotistical but i'm pretty sure i could win if magic wasn't involved

Crystal Winter: yes. the bitch would trip over her own shoelaces and knock herself out

Oh and since I've started the rough drafts of them, here's some info on the 12 disciples in my au. No I did not mean to make 12 it just sorta happened. I also want you to note that all but two had the same thought of "holy shit that's a child" when they met Eden and that's the main reason they decided to become followers in the first place to make sure he would be ok.

This is just some rough info to act as some backround

WARNING THIS IS LONG AS SHIT, MY APOLOGIES!

Starting off with canon(?) sort of characters we have:

-Webber, he/they/we: spider character from the game don't starve who was added during a collab to cotl. the youngest and a disciple in training. We first meet him at age 8 and is the last to come along. Life has been extended

-Haru, he/him: the yellow cat from the one animated short. Was a priest of leshys until he fought the lamb on a crusade and lost. Was brought back after realizing how much was censored about the slaughter of the sheep and asked if he could redeem himself. Age 24 and was the third last to become a disciple. Immortal

Now we have the not Canon characters who I have in my actual save file. I will also share their silly ridiculous names I have for them in game since I am atrocious at being serious.

-Mamer, he/him, has always been Mamer: a teal rabbit and the first follower and disciple of Edens. He was taken in by the compound that eden was born in and swore himself to protecting whoever was to become the prophesied lamb. Was captured by cultists a week before Edens execution and was about to be sacrificed when ratau and eden found him on the way to the compound. Taught eden how to fight and the traditional boxing style of the sheepfolk. Current grounds keeper. In game this man goes on hella missions and is responsible for at least 20 followers. Age 32, immortal.

-Clement, he/they, Friend Traitor in game: a big, surly orange tabby cat. He and his sister Cerise came as a pair and were found in the ruins of a village in darkwood, rummaging through their belongings to see if anything was salvageable. They had been taken temporarily on orders from kallamars clergy to aid in the construction of one of the wings of his temple. While they were away, their village started refusing to give anymore of their materials to the bishops so an attack was ordered on it. When they came back everything was gone. Both Clement and Cerise became disciples at the same time and became disciples second. Clement taught Eden how to build. Clements the head of the builders hut. In game they're just a silly feller with a silly name and I love them. Age 30, immortal

-Cerise, she/her, Amigo Treachery in game: a red and that's more magenta coloured. I said quite a bit of her backstory with Clement but the difference is that she runs the stonemines and lumberyard and taught Eden how to find and gather quality materials while on Crusading. She works in lumberyard mostly in game too but she also spends a fair amount of time at the shrine. Age 29, immortal

-Ellis, they/them, Taxes in game: a rosy maple moth and the third disciple. They were captured by helob while in darkwood and was a day away from being eaten when eden found them and bought their freedom. They had offered to walk Ellis back home but they had decided after working in Shamuras treasury for most of their life they didn't really have anything worthwhile to get back to and so decided to go back to the compound with the lamb and now work as the treasurer and tax collector. In game they're tax enforcer but otherwise kind of unremarkable. Age 34, immortal.

-Finley, she/her, Pæňïş in game (truly terrible name I'm so sorry girl): a raspberry colored raccoon and the fourth disciple along side Merrick, as they came in a pair. Both Finley and Merrick were apart on the Fox' cult and were cannibals for most of their lives. They only left after their fellow cultists turned against them while on a hunting trip. Eden found them an inch away from death and surrounded, and after killing the remaining heretics they took the two back to the compound to heal. After learning the two's story, Eden offered them a chance to redeem themselves and turn their lives around with the caveat that the cannibalism stops. They agreed and joined as followers, and earned their discipleship. Finley's the head cook and is the overseer of all the dietary restrictions, while her fellow workers take care of the compound at large. Despite the cannibalism she's actually quite lovely and very personable. Her and Merrick are just good friends and bonded after their mutual betrayal. In game I send her on missions quite a bit since her stats are good. Age 27, immortal.

-Merrick, he/him, originally Marth (my best friends a fire emblem fan and requested it. Personality doesn't match): a blue fox and the fourth disciple along side Finley. Backround info is above. He's sparky and snappish with a bit of a temper but is very good humored and lovely to be around. His job is the head butcher with a very lucrative side gig of disposing of dissenters. The lamb DOES allow the pair to partake in the occasional heretic or dissenter but by and large they both just eat regular meat now. His in game role is kept empty but he's usually the first to get to the drinkhouse when I need stuff made so there's that. Age 27, immortal.

-Azalea, she/they, was lovingly named *DJ sounds*, pronounced however the hell you want: a black koi fish and the fifth disciple. Originally from Anura and was apart of the lighthouse keeper cult. Was found calling for help just outside the cult after getting injured on the way home. Eden took them to the med bay to get patched up since the scope of the injuries was a little outside of their skill set and escorted them home once they were all fixed. They ended up going back with Eden anyway after they relit the lighthouse (they had been getting wood and Eden had firestarter on them). Her job is loyalty enforcer and assists the grounds keeper in keeping the place safe. Due to the decreased amount of heretics+high faith levels, they more just act as a welcome crew for new members and trains people in self defense. She's hard headed and blunt, and can be rude at times, but she has good intentions and has a soft spot for those close to her. Very sweet and patient with kids, less kind to adults. In the game she's also a loyalty enforcer and I desperately wish you could hide that fuckass hat. Age 28, immortal.

-Nimah, he/him, is Sonic because I had to: an albino hedgehog since I don't wanna make it SO obvious that it's just sonic. He is the sixth disciple and used to be a postman between all of the merchants and settlements outside of bishop control. He always wanted to be a doctor and kept an eye out for medical texts on his travels. He didn't have much luck in that regard until he came to deliver something to the compound and was kept there by a storm. Him and Eden got to chatting and after telling them about this little quest, Eden told him that while there's none at the compound that they could think of, they pick up books all the time while on crusades and could keep an eye out for any. One handshake and a new friend later, Nimah slowly studied and practiced to become a doctor until they got the title of head doctor. Taught some cultborn folks to do the mail route and now spends his days in the med bay. In game his only purpose is to be sonic and nothing else. His existence makes me happy :]. Age 53, immortal.

-Rowan, she/her, JAzz (I fucked up): a crow and the seventh disciple. Was a shrine maiden for Heket, and was trusted enough to be given the uncensored prophecy. After hearing it and making the very uncomfortable realization that they've all been praying for the downfall of a) an innocent race and b) a child, she dissented and fled to the cult to offer her services. Was a thief for a while, but was taken in by some followers of Heket and changed her ways. Was the second follower but had a hard time accepting the gift of discipleship for a while there. Very sweet and soft spoken, very good at quiet rage. In game she's on worship duty and is a very pretty lady and I love her. Age 30, immortal

-Florian, zey/zem/zer, named Alright in game: a silk moth and the eighth disciple. Was a primary weaver in Shamura's coterie for a good century. Zey were delivering tapestries to the main temple of Leshy when zer convoy was attacked by bandits and zey were left hiding and bleeding out. Eden found zem and took them back to their own temple since the med bay didn't exist at that point. When zey awoke, zey found zemselves bandaged in an unfamiliar place with someone they didn't recognize standing near them. Zey were suspicious until zey realized that that is a child zey were thinking of attacking, and that child is holding a med kit in their hands. Zey end up calming down and once zer'e healed, Florian offers to make a proper outfit befitting a vessel of death since zey don't like feeling like zer in debt. Eden agrees to this and they end up becoming friends, with Florian offering zer continued service in exchange for stable living. Zer personality is flamboyant but not loud. I personally imagine zer personality to be akin to one of those mob wives with the smoke pipe and the long satin feather robes. In game this fella was so unremarkable zey died of old age at level 1. Also zey get neos because I think they have so much gender that they/them simply doesn't cut it, although I understand if you use they/them for zem, it's a bit tricky to get used to. Age 33, immortal.

AND THATS A WRAP! Sorry for the length, some people are more thought out than others, not to mention I almost forgot a whole 2 people.

Their designs are coming soonish, I'm just trying to make some improvements with how I draw faces rn because Mamer looks like shit :[ I will get better and no one can stop me

#cult of the lamb #cotl au #cotl disciples #tgoe au #the garden of eden au #ough #this was a BEAST to type you have no clue #fanfic writers are so strong #im not built like that

Okay I’ve been thinking about a Monster high x ever after high x twisted wonderland au because my three hyper fixations need to be somooshed together

So it’s starts with Raven falling into a wishing well and ending up in some sort of limbo field where she meets Frankie who happened to go through a portal or something (like a coffin) to get there.

And the only way the two of them can get out is through the one mirror (ramshackle’s mirror) that’s there.

Meanwhile in monster high everyone is worried about frankie, their searching far and wide to find her. Twyla and Rochelle find the coffin in the woods and everyone gathers and jumps in.

In ever after Apple is extremely worried that her friend has ran off to escape her destiny and gathers a few of the other girls to help find her

So they all end up falling in the well and finding the limbo field.

Back in twisted wonderland It’s Yuu and Malleus who discover the two girls and they decide to take them to Crowley

He decides to let them stay because of “he’ll find them a way home” or “it’ll take time for someone to come find you maybe” idk

Raven gets sorted into pomefiore and frankie ignihyde

The rest of the girls end up in twisted wonderland a few days later (time works differently in all three worlds but they are connected idk how yet)

Some are confused and some really like the new place (especially the monsters) and that’s how it starts!

Many of the students at night raven are extremely confused and worried about what the hell this means because ever since Yuu came shits been getting weirder there.

Rochelle and Twyla get sorted into Diasomnia along with Faybelle and briar

Cleo and Operetta get sorted into pomefiore along with holly and poppy

Ghoulia gets sorted into ignyhide

Howleen and Clawdeen get put in savannahclaw along with torelai and cerise

It’s pretty much an au where everyone sorts through their problems together and students get therapy go through love and loss with each other so their not alone.

It’s kinda set after the whole Octenvinelle story so you still have some of the overblots left and some of the ea/mh students end up going through them too

Whisp and Gigi are in this too and whisp is one of the reasons the mh students go through them.

Idk when I’ll write it but I’ll do it at some point soon maybe idk! But do lmk if you wanna see more!

Your icon doesn't make this sound threatening at all @melon14 I swear asjkdhakjshjfhjfhajkh

Jokes aside, I've already given this AU some basic groundwork in this post, but:

the kids' ages will necessarily vary a lot more than they do in EAH canon to better fit show events - Ramona, Ash and Maddie are among the oldest, and Apple is slightly older than the twins, a fact which she will occasionally lord over Raven;

Apple and Raven having genuine schoolyard drama going on is so funny to me. Like, what are they feuding over? Who Henry loves more as a little sister figure? Their mothers' war? If One Direction was better than Nirvana? Nobody fucking knows, especially not their dads;

(on a more serious note though, Apple has an inner conflict nearly as complicated as her canon self - sure, no one is telling her to follow some fixed destiny guidelines here, but the pressure of having a family filled with heroes and Certified Good PeopleTM might still get to her. Moreover, Emma's jealousy was off the charts when she was born, even though Snow tries to pretend it never happened;)

I'D FORGOTTEN OUAT HAD FRANKENSTEIN WALKING AROUND CAN WE BRANCH OUT INTO MONSTER HIGH TOO????? Because I'd be STOKED to have Francesca "Frankie" Whale show up as a consequence of her dad's actions (also Jekyll and Hyde are there so like...Hyde Serum!Jackson and Holt when);

Sparrow is a mama's boy while Raven is a daddy's girl and it SHOWS;

you know that meme with the lizard and its offspring that goes "children this is dirt" "dirt?" "dirt?" "dirt?"? That's Ruby with her babies on Wolfstime. Mama wolf running through the woods and teaching her pups things while Dorothy has some time to herself;

they're all very protective of Cedar, regardless of any squabble or picked side. Raven, Maddie and Cerise are protective of Cedar, Apple is protective of Cedar, Sparrow is protective of Cedar, even though he usually doesn't give his sister's friends the time of the day. Basically everyone took one (1) glance at this tiny, shy puppet girl and was immediately flooded with love;

that definitely includes the adults in her life, BTW. Of course daddy adores her and grandpa is beyond thrilled, but the moment Dr Archie Jiminy Hopper realizes that this kid is nothing like young Geppetto and Pinocchio and is instead sweet, quiet and capable of staying put when she's asked to? He's sold. He'd have loved her no matter what, but at least Cedar's behavior won't give him a heart attack before he's 50;

I still think that Cedar should have that wood gene show up in the worst possible moment, but it'd probably be an innate trait of hers rather than the result of Blue's active intervention. HOWEVER, what Blue would most definitely do is try to imply that Cedar did something to deserve what's happening to her, which is nearly as bad imho;

not that that would fly with August, honestly. He's barely convinced by the fact that he deserved his various punishments - you mean to tell him that his little girl, who's been deemed extremely pleasant to have around by just about everyone she meets, has somehow committed some sort of sin and is being puppet-ified as a result? Are you shitting him? This is gonna give him the catharsis arc OUAT never bothered to send his way, alright;

finally, there's a ton of characters I still haven't managed to work in, like Farrah, Faybelle or just any other male character, so if anyone has better ideas, let me know please I'm begging you these kids are so complicated adjshjkfhk

#au: ever after storybrooke #eah #ouat #ever after high #once upon a time #again there are too many characters and I only care about two of them so #cedar wood #august booth #judge me all you want I LOVE my babies

TMNT-VERSE INFO— the different versions of harley jade hamato

NOTES: bro, i tried my best with the 1990 & Bayverse face claims, but it was super fucking hard to find them so i went with what i had lol. harley is the eldest/first child of ash (my oc) and raph. next, are their twins, steele ace hamato and tessa cerise hamato, and then finally whitney snow hamato. for harley and whitney, i made picrew icons for them since they take after their mother, while steele and tessa are mutant turtles like raph. i'll do headcanons on my ocs at some point in the future that adds various more details to their characters.

WARNINGS: mentions of getting mugged, getting stabbed, anger issues, over-exercising, undereating, anxiety, mentions of self-destructive behavior, nihilistic thinking, overuse of social media, avoidance as a coping mechanism, mentions of pregnancy.

𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫: 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐲, 𝐰𝐚𝐲, 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞, 𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦. 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲!

{~~~}

2012 HARLEY:

2012 Harley looks like her mother, but she acts like her father. This version of Harley has anger issues, and while she does get triggered by others, her anger usually originates from being frustrated with herself. Harley is snappy and she has the tendency to be a little vulgar and outspoken. 2012 Harley tends to be more of a realist, like her mother, Ashley, and deeply cares for her family (even though she doesn’t always show it). She tends to think about things realistically and logically, being somewhat pragmatic about how she goes about things. Even though she has her pragmatic moments, there have been times when she is more impulsive in nature, which often gets her into trouble. When she’s upset in any way, Harley tends to immediately go to training. However, this has led her to over-exercise and undereat. Ashley found out that she was pregnant with Harley a few months after Splinter had died.

2007 HARLEY:

This version of Harley is actually pretty quiet. However, she tends to internalize her anger and that leads to her lashing out at her family a lot. 2007 Harley is sassy and witty, and she has a dry sense of humor (much like Rise Donnie does). There are moments when she can come off as dull, blunt, and uninterested. This version of Harley has bad anxiety, so she has a very hard time meeting new people. This is also the only version of Harley that has purple hair. Sometimes she’ll fully dye her hair, sometimes she will only do streaks in her hair. 2007 Harley also has a Brooklyn accent, just like her father. 2007 Harley has a particularly close relationship with her Uncle Casey and her Uncle Mikey, and she often goes to one of them if there’s something wrong. She’s also very inventive, often helping her Uncle Donnie with inventions in his lab, and she’s very attached to her electronics. 2007 Harley is two years old in the 2007 TMNT movie.

2003 HARLEY:

2003 Harley is the most egotistical and bratty of them all. Like, I love her, but holy shit is she a little shit at times. Harley has the tendency to come off as cocky and a know-it-all. However, 2003 Harley is confident and sure of herself. She tends to give so much confidence to others, supporting them in any way that she can. Even though she has a confident persona, on the inside, Harley is very anxious and on edge. That’s because of an incident that occurred when she was 15 years old where she and her Aunt April were mugged, and during that incident, Harley was stabbed and nearly lost her life. There are moments when her anxiety does show through, but she does a relatively good job of keeping her trauma concealed underneath an assertive and unperturbed demeanor. Ash and Raph found out about Harley at the end of the show, and in the TURTLES FOREVER movie, Harley is one-year-old.

ROTTMNT/2018 HARLEY:

Overall, ROTTMNT Harley is very kind and helpful. She’s one of the only versions of Harley, next to her 1987 counterpart, that is kinder than the other Harleys. Like her mother, Ash, Harley has a sense of gracefulness about her, and she can often come off as very mysterious to others, as she is very calm and collected and she knows how to mask her feelings. I would say that ROTTMNT Harley’s character is similar to Mira’s character from Fairy Tail. She’s warm-hearted and flexible, as well as analytical and soft-hearted. Typically, Harley is peaceful and amicable, but if you piss her off, she’ll fucking blow up in your face. ROTTMNT Harley is definitely the mother out of the next generation (much like Raph is to his family). Rise Harley is a quieter version compared to others, but she has no problem speaking up when she feels like she needs to. Even though she has a hospitable persona, when Rise Harley is pissed, she’s PISSED. Similar to the 2007 version of her, this iteration of Harley is close with her Uncle Casey and her Uncle Mikey. Rise Harley was around a year-and-a-half when the Kraang invaded.

COMIC HARLEY:

The comic version of Harley is a lot like her mother in personality and looks. She has her father’s eye color and gets her hair color from her mother’s side of the family. Harley is snarky and terse, and even though she has a cold exterior, she is extremely loyal and wants the best for everyone. She’s aggressive and loud, frank and extremely vulgar, and assertive and incredibly knowledgeable. When handling trauma, Harley tends to be more unpredictable yet very silent. Whenever Harley goes silent, everyone knows that something has happened and it’s a little alarming. This version of Harley is incredibly independent, and she often doesn’t follow the rules that are given to her.

1987 HARLEY:

The 1987 iteration of Harley is one of the kinder versions compared to her counterparts. She’s more amiable and personable with others, but that doesn’t mean that she still won’t kick someone’s ass if they’ve wronged her or any one of her family members in any way. 1987 Harley is the most hyper iteration out of the others. She is also extroverted and loyal. She’s more optimistic— not as much as her younger sister, Whitney, though. This version of Harley is the only version with heterochromia and who dyes her hair white. 1987 Harley has ADHD, and she has a stubborn side to her. Harley is charismatic and spontaneous, as well. She tends to be in denial about stressful things, and she avoids taking actions that would trigger her, which is a big red flag for others around her. Everyone discovered that Ash was pregnant with Harley at the very end of the series.

1990 HARLEY: face claim; arden cho

Oh, shit, is 1990 Harley Hamato super sassy and outspoken. This woman has a very sharp tongue, and she doesn’t try to hide it. 1990 Harley is more reckless than the other versions of her, and she tends to dwell on the past and everything she’s gone through. Harley makes light of her troubles through humor, and she can appear to be quite distant at times. 1990 Harley is impulsive and often the lone-wolf of the family. However, even though she isn’t the most approachable person in the world, 1990 Harley is highly empathetic towards others. Everyone found out that Ash was pregnant with Harley at the very end of the series.

2014/2016/BAYVERSE HARLEY: face claim; erika tham

Bayverse Harley is very headstrong and intelligent. She can be defiant and rebellious at times, often not thinking ahead in situations. Outwardly, Bayverse Harley tends to act more aloof and attitudinal. Harley tends to internalize her feelings like her mother does, and she does have her childish moments. Harley is viewed as the most fearsome and aggressive of the next generation of Hamatos, and she’s also the voice of reason. Much like her 1990 counterpart, Bayverse Harley is highly empathetic. Harley is also incredibly good at reading other people, and she likes to call others out on their bullshit. This version of Harley tends to be more self-destructive and procrastinates, having a nihilistic outlook when times are rough for her. She also tends to overuse social media as a way to distract herself from stressful situations. Ashley discovered that she was pregnant with Harley during the events of the TMNT: OUT OF THE SHADOWS movie (aka the 2016 movie).

Hi, I was wondering if I could request some Canaryfire as a Single Parents AU? Only if you're interested of course!

(You came at the perfect time! Writer’s block has been kicking my ass. But here is the story! Don’t have much to say as an opening statement, except that I love the oc I have created. She doesn’t even show up in the story, but I love her. Hope you enjoy it! AO3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38856489/chapters/99049293)

Laurel had gone through the ringer. She found out her boyfriend and sister were dead at the same time she found out they had been sleeping together. She decided it was easier to drink the mixed emotions she had away, but that only lasted for a few weeks. Because lo-and-behold, she was pregnant with her dead ex’s child.

The only bright side to that she saw was Ollie wouldn’t be around to argue about it with her. Only her opinion would matter here. Having a kid would surely make it harder to get through law school. Not to mention her parents (who were already going through enough shit) would probably freak out. So, she did the only thing she thought she could do. She got out of Star.

Transferring to Central was rough, but Laurel loved the city. It was so cheery compared to back home. So full of life. Plus, it had a pretty decent nightclub scene.

Her mom drove her to all of her appointments. Laurel had always wanted a kid, and she’d go through with the pregnancy even if she didn’t have Ollie to help her. Besides, it was easier when she lived in a house with a woman who had two of them before. Still, the pains and cravings and no access to caffeine wasn’t very pleasant.

Cerise Lydia Lance was born in early spring 2008 after a few hours in the hospital. As far as the world knew, the father was unknown, although there were many, many rumors. The Queens were aware that Oliver had gotten her pregnant, but outside of Laurel’s family, that was about it.

---

Mick hadn’t wanted to be a dad ever in his life. He’d rather pretend to be stupid and follow Snart around having a good time. He had gone to the High School Reunion on a whim, had sex with Ali on a whim, forgot to ask if she was on the pill, and now she was visiting him in prison telling him she was pregnant. He couldn’t tell her he was mad. Couldn’t tell her to fuck off. He wasn’t his father. He wouldn’t hurt his ex-girlfriend like that. The mother of his child.

They found a way to make it work.

True, most of his daughter’s visits took place in safehouses (Snart and Lisa loved spending time with his kid), but Mick loved Lita to death. He didn’t know what story Ali spun (she said she could take care of it, and Mick trusted her to do just that), but Lita didn’t start asking about his life of crime until later in life.

He couldn’t show up to school events, though. Couldn’t go trick-or-treating most of the time. Mick was selfish, and if anybody found out he had a daughter and was spending time with her in secret, then he could lose any and all contact with her. Forever.

So, he’d take advantage of the visits. Pick up some gifts for Lita along the way (Snart always tried to one-up him on birthdays). Give her the childhood and father he had always wanted. He’d do his best to take care of her. He loved her; more than he thought he was capable of.

---

Laurel was pissed.

Just like she was after Sara’s death. Apparently, she’s so pissed off she’s been banned from going on patrol for a while!

“We don’t need you doing anything you’ll regret later,” Ollie had said.

“I won’t regret it if it helps me find her!”

“I’m not going to let you violently interrogate criminals.”

“I haven’t-”

“But you could.” He put a hand on her shoulder. “I miss her too.”

Laurel had moved back to Star when she found out her sister had died. She became a vigilante to avenge her death and protect the innocent. Protect her daughter. She had told Ollie he had a kid, got him to spend time with her, helped them develop a relationship.

But then Damien Darhk had the fucking nerve to kidnap Cerise. And she was going to kill his immortal ass if it’s the last thing she does.

But, again, she had been told to take a break from patrol. She was pissed but could understand the reasoning. Which was why Laurel was taking her gear and heading to her mom’s house in Central City. She was taking leave from work in order to make this happen. She was going to drop off her luggage at her mom’s and take her equipment to STAR Labs.

Laurel got out of the car and went into her mom’s house, setting her suitcase in the guestroom, hoping she could get out before-

“Laurel?”

-that.

“Hey, Mom.” She slowly turned around to face her mother, who was standing in the doorway to her room disapprovingly.

“Not even going to say hi?”

Laurel scratched her neck nervously. “I... I’ve gotta get to the lab-”

“You can at least eat some lunch first.”

She internally groaned, but let her mom guide her into the dining room. She tapped her fingers against the tabletop anxiously. Her mom came back into the room, holding a closed paper bag.

“Some grilled cheese for the road.”

Laurel mumbled a ‘thank you’ and took it quickly.

“One more thing.” She looked up to meet her mother’s gaze. Her mom sighed before continuing. “I know you’re scared. And I don’t blame you. But you’ve gotta keep a clear head. I want Cerise home safe just as much as you do. Be careful out there. I love you.”

“Love you too.” Despite the crippling fear, Laurel couldn’t help her smile, even as she was shooed out the door. She got into her car, took a deep breath, and started driving towards STAR Labs.

---

Mick had started taking Lita to STAR Labs as part of their visits. Mainly because she had figured out about him being a Rogue, and also because she was a fan of the Flash (ugh). She also liked spending time with Blondie.

Sara had come into their lives a little after they ‘went straight’ (knowing Snart, there were bound to be some heists here and there), and suddenly, the Boss had a girlfriend. Not that Mick cared all that much. He liked Blondie. She was fun. She was also giving his kid self-defense lessons (Ali had given the go-ahead a few weeks ago).

But today was a relaxing day. One of the nerds was helping Lita with her math homework (the one with glasses and a punchable face) while Mick sat next to her trying to follow along. Just as they were getting done with the worksheet (seriously, why were these things so long?!), a woman stormed into the cortex.

Blondie stood up, meeting her half-way. “You got here fast.”

She huffed, holding a duffel bag of sorts. “Where’s Allen?”

“At work. I’ll go get Cisco.” Sara jogged out of the room, leaving the other woman standing there. She set her bag down on a nearby empty desk and opened it, rummaging through it.

“I believe that’s all we have to do today,” the nerd told Lita before walking off.

Lita took a deep breath and closed her book. “Ima run to the bathroom. Be right back.”

She then walked towards the restroom, leaving Mick alone with the stranger. She had long blonde hair and green eyes, wearing a pantsuit and fidgeting with the bag on the table. It might’ve been the beer he had earlier or pure curiosity (probably a mix of both) that made Mick stand up and sit down next to her. She looked up at him.

“Uh...”

“What’s got ya so riled up?” He tried to make himself look as nonthreatening as possible (even though that was pretty difficult).

She scoffed, looking back at her bag. “You wouldn’t understand.”

Mick didn’t take offense to that. A lot of people thought he was stupid. Instead, he leaned in a little closer, giving her time to lean back or push him away (surprisingly, she didn’t), and gave her a toothy grin. “Try me.”

She looked down at her hands and sighed. “My daughter’s been kidnapped.”

He felt his blood boil. “Who did it?”

The woman tilted her head, looking him in the eyes again. “Damien Darhk. Immortal asshole. And if he lays a finger on her, he’s going to wish he was dead after I’m through with him.”

“Mind if I help?”

She blinked a few times, shocked. “You don’t even know my name.”

“Well why don’t ya tell me it so I can help?”

She laughed after a moment, holding out her hand. “Laurel Lance.”

“Ah, Blondie’s sister.” He shook her hand with a small smile. “Mick Rory.”

“So, do you mean that? You’d help me?”

“If he hurts your kid, I’ll help you do whatever you want to him. Now, you need Sunglasses’ help?”

She nodded, not even pausing at the nickname. “Cisco might be new to his powers, but if there’s a chance for me to get another lead, I’m taking it.”

Mick didn’t want to admit it, but if Lita were kidnapped, he’d probably (and begrudgingly) get the nerd squad’s help. And they’d have to help him, otherwise Central’s gonna be lit on fire. “Mind if I tag along on the rescue mission?”

“You...” Laurel shook her head, eyes wide. “You’d do that for me?”

“Look, I get what it’s like to have a kid. And I know if Lita was kidnapped like your daughter is, I’d do anything I could to find her. So, I’ll help ya as long as ya let me.”

She smiled a little. “Huh. Guess you do understand. Alright, you can help. You sure you can keep up with me, though?”

Mick grinned, hearing the challenge (and was that a little flirting?) in her tone. “Never know unless ya try.”

She laughed. “Roger that partner.”

They quickly said their goodbyes, and as Mick drove Lita home and sped back to STAR Labs, he couldn’t help his intrigue. He meant what he said. He’d help her.

He just didn’t know at the time how important that little girl and her mom would be to him in the future.

Olympus Tournament Story: Fuel to the fire.

Sunil: "Has anyone seen Puck?"

Cerise: "Not recently. Last I heard he was going off to grab some food and probably flirt with everyone along the way."

Night: "Yeah sounds about right. Still, with those two weirdos from Fae causing him to panic a few times I do sort of wonder if something more is going on."

Hugo: "Weirdos making another weirdo panic isn't that strange. I can't give a shit right now, I gotta focus on the semis and the finals."

Night: "Assuming you get to the finals."

Hugo: "Least I bothered to fight, you're the only one here who wussed out."

Cerise: "Alright alright shut up the both of you. Sunil, Night, and I can go look for Puck."

Sunil: "No, Hugo is right about preparing for the semis and finals. You're in them as well. I'll go with Night, you two can keep training. Come on."

Night: "Where do we even start? This ship is huge.."

Night and Sunil split up to try and track down where Puck may have gone. Unfortunately as Night thought, the size of the ship made trying to find one person just about as easy as finding a needle in a haystack. To make matters worse, Puck wasn't answering his aShine.

The two decide to shift focus and attempt to locate the competitors from Fae. Something that does seem slightly easier but upon reaching where they should be, Sunil and Night discover the door open and no one inside. There are however small signs of a struggle which further intensifies the need to find their missing friend.

Night: "You think they kidnapped him?"

Sunil: "Pretty sure they've been trying to do that this whole time. He's from Fae, no idea why those two would go out of their way for him though."

Night: "Didn't you say he made some kind of deal with Hades? Maybe it has something to do with that."

Sunil: "He did but I can't remember what he told me about it. It's like the more time goes by the easier it is to forget any details regarding that."

Night: "Well that just means Hades is probably still alive somewhere, not really a comforting thought."

Sunil: "No but I don't think he's part of whatever this is. Check it out.."

Night: "No bags anywhere, closets are empty. You think they called for transportation?"

Sunil: "Probably. The Fae leaders were never here so the fighters couldn't have left like that. They'd have to have called someone.."

Night: "There are a billion helipads on this ship and a billion escape crafts. How do we find em before they leave?"

Evander: "Excuse my interruption but I overheard your predicament. I do believe I can be of assistance. Allow me to introduce myself, Evander Lykaios. Pleasure.

Night: "I know you, you're one of the fighters and you're on the Crepusculum Hecaball team. Why would you want to help?"

Sunil: "Doesn't matter. We probably don't have much time before those two losers from Fae leave with Puck."

Evander: "Precisely. Lucky for you I'm something of a problem solver." Bringing up his equipment which looked like a far more advanced aShine. "There is a small emergency ping hidden from most channels. It's currently located near one of the helipads in section fourteen. Air traffic indicates a helicopter on it's way. I assume this is where your missing friend is."

Sunil, Night, and Evander rush through the ship using Evander's convenient but somewhat strange knowledge of paths to take and elevators to use so they may avoid most people.

Evander: "Well would you look at that, competitors from Fae attempting to abduct an Apricus Citizen. This won't look particularly good for relations now will it?"

Sunil: "Let him go you freaks.."

Night: "Uh you realize we don't have weapons.."

Sunil: "Neither do they.."

Tarseed and Mariposa however seemed content enough to fight without weapons. Mariposa still had plenty of tricks up their sleeve and all they had to do was wait for transport and they create a diversion so they could escape with the currently unconscious Puck.

No one seemed to notice Evander pressing a button on his equipment which seemed to be recording the entire situation and even broadcasting it to certain people.

Evander himself was enough to deal with Tarseed as his combat experience and augmentations made him the superior fighter. Mariposa however was handing both Night and Sunil using several gadgets so as explosives and smoke grenades.

As the fights went on a helicopter had landed and the door slid open. Tarseed managed to use one of Mariposa's smoke bombs to slip away from Evander and attempt to load Puck into the helicopter.

Mariposa activated something resembling a an electric field which temporarily incapacitated Night, and Sunil. Mariposa and Tarseed made their way to the helicopter but were shocked when Evander's partner Kara appeared on the helipad.

Kara made her way over and smashed the electric device before punching through the helicopter and pulling the pilot out. In a panic Tarseed jumped to the controls and began to take off. All of the action must have shaken Puck awake as he struggled against his bounds.

Puck managed to kick Mariposa out of the helicopter though Mariposa hung on as the craft began to gain altitude. Puck stood looking out of the door but suddenly noticed several chains wrap around the helicopter's tail, preventing it from rising. Evander and Kara held on to the chains as Puck took a breath and jumped out.

Sunil managed to catch Puck though it wasn't a particularly graceful landing. Mariposa decided to cut their losses and managed to break the chains holding the helicopter down, allowing the two Fae competitors to escape.

Tournament personnel rushed to the helipad to check on everyone though by the time they arrived Kara and Evander had left. Puck, Sunil, and Night were all brought down for medical evaluations and to explain what had just happened.

Sunil: "Well, never expected Crepusculum to show up and help us out."

Puck hadn't said anything but he seemed to have a strange feeling about all of this.

Night: "Evander was right though. This isn't exactly going to look good when it comes to international relations.."

Sunil: "Why were they after you anyway?"

Puck: "Long story.."

Somewhere on another deck

Evander: "We got him back, don't worry about it."

???: "Good, make sure he gets back to Apricus in one piece. He's too important to lose."

Evander: "We'll handle it. Kara is in the semi-finals, and likely the finals. Everything is going the way you said it would."

???: "Not entirely. There was a mishap with Mr. R so that piece is off the board. Nevertheless, continue on as instructed."

Evander: "Of course."

Conversation ended.

Have some more HC! Though these are more based around Gou, Chloe, and the Galar League experiencing AshTM at his fullest.

———

Gou, Chloe, and Professor Cerise watching Ash one morning having a full stilt conversation with Mr.Mimy and Pikachu, and I’m talking a full conversation one human would have with another.

Mimy makes an off handed comment when Ash avoids eating the small sun tomatoes that the Pokémon had set into his plate. Ash fires back with a tired “I do not!” And both Pikachu and Mimy shoot back absolutely gibberish at the other three humans stand point.

Everyone pauses because their kinda used to Ash generally understanding Pokémon better then they were but not at this extent. They watch as Mimy huffs and crosses his arms before glaring Ash into submission who wilts over his plate and stuffs one of those tomato’s into his mouth and glares at Pikachu was was snickering over his own cucumber slice.

———

Ash taking Gou, and Cerise forcing Chloe to go to because Sunlight is good for you Sweetheart, to Oaks lab and Ranch.

Chloe likes the country view, though she doesn’t like how early they had to get up, and makes small talk with Ash as they walk from Viridian through the forest. She keeps a tight and painful grip on Gou’s arm so the boy doesn’t dart off somewhere and the other two leave them behind.

Besides the grip on his arm Gou is excitedly yelling-talking about how amazing Oaks ranch is supposed to be and how all the super strong Pokémon are there as well. It’s during another reiteration when a loud cry echoes through the early morning fog and Ash, who was walking half dead on his feet, peeks up and skips ahead of the frozen pair.

Both Chloe and Gou go to warn him, or in Gou’s case pull him back, but their once more stun frozen when Ash opens his arm out and a giant Pidgeot comes drifting down from the tree canopy and perches itself onto Ash’s arm. The young adult/old teen easily holding the large bird Pokémon no problem on one arm.

“Everyone!” Ash turns to look at his two friends, “meet one of my first Pokémon! Pidgeot!”

Ash’s smile is tired and a bit strained, more so with his backpack filled to the brim with science paperwork from Cerise to Oak then the giant fucking bird perched on his arm, and he looks angelical and also strangely a bit scary with how the Golden morning rays splash down from between the trees.

It takes a few seconds for them to realize what happen before Gou goes into a MASSIVE freak out and starts asking Ash all these questions which he answers none to instead talk to Pidgeot. Having another full stilt conversation while Pikachu sleeps in his shoulder.

Pidgeot leaves after rubbing its beak against both sides of Ash’s head and tapping lightly against Pikachu’s. Immediately disappearing into the leaves. Gou jumps Ash again and Chloe has to drag him off the poor Pallet boy. The only explanation that Ash gives them is that Pidgeot is his and that they protect Viridian forest and all the other Pokémon in it.

“But there’s nothing to protect the forest from.” Gou points out.

“That’s what you think!” Ash covered a yawn before waving at the two. “We’ll be late at this point, come on.”

They make it to Oaks ranch. All the while Ash is eyeing any coffee shop or bakery that is, super sadly, not open yet because of how early it still is. Ash doesn’t even bother knocking. Flouncing in with Pikachu practically stumbling/melting off his shoulders down to the scuffed hardwood floors before moving upstairs.

Gou and Chloe hiss at him because it’s obvious that no one is home or no one is even up. Ash waves them off, stating that he’s been doing this since he was six years old, and moving to the kitchen after closing the door behind the two and towing off his shoes. Chloe and Gou following nervously after him and quietly hisses at Ash to stop being so loud, going clanking pots and pans, as Ash makes Arceus forsaken coffee in the professors house.

Ash continues to ignore them. Forcing them to sit in the kitchen table chairs, leaving the island open, and telling them if that they don’t want coffee then they can just not talk. Chloe gets huffy but she still ask’s for a cup, which Ash happily obliged after getting what she adds to her coffee, and Gou still starts to quietly rant about how they couldn’t be doing this at all but he still doesn’t get up from his seat that Ash forced him into.

Not long after the smell of, probably illegal coffee with how strong it smells, coffee drifted through the kitchen. Loud knocking sounds came from upstairs and a string of curseing soon follows as a door opens up.

“Good morning!” Ash does the unthinkable and bellows as loud as he could. Chloe and Gou finally stiff up to tell him to stfu and not anger the Professor when Professor Daisy walks in like a half alive zombie.

“You.” She points to a tired but insane grinning Ash. Shuffling forward and cupping both of the boys cheeks before swaying his head back and forth. “Are sunshine incarnation and, therefore, a bane to my existence.”

“But you love me.” Ash slurred with the way Daisy keeps squishing his cheeks.

“I do,” She mumbled and tugged him into a loose hug, “but fuck you at the same time.”

This sends Ash into giggles, because that’s just Daisy for you, which worsens when he sees Gou and Chloes shocked faces.

“Oaks are affectionate without their coffee in the morning-Argk!” Ash was cut off by a swift back of the head hit from Daisy who didn’t even tear her eyes away from the pot.

“Little fucking shit,” she growled, “That’s just Gary.”

“And Green!” Aah whined. Running his head.

“And Green.” She was quick to agree.

Soon Professor Oak actually comes up from his lab, sleeping down there AGAIN Professor?, and then Gary soon follows. Pressing himself up agains Ash’s back and starts to mutter how Ashy is a sunshine God and how he’s the only one who knows how to make good fucking strong coffee in this house hold. I’m talking about you Daisy-

“It’s because he stashed the illegal good shit somewhere away from us.” Daisy makes it out by taking a loud pointed sip and eyeing Ash, and by extension Gary who was pointing because the pot was tk far away from his position as a human Komala, then the cupboards.

“It’s not there.” Ash mumbled while setting the pile of paperwork on the table and stuffing the now empty bag off the chair so he could push Gary lightly into it to go make the brunettes cup.

Chloe at that moment decides to just... roll with the punches and just take the cup of coffee without complaint. It is in fact that good illegal shit and she made a zipping close motion over her mouth when Daisy sent a glare her way.

Gou is having his mind blown to smithereens for like the fifth time that day but he decides to keep quite so he can question Oak about a bunch of stuff like his last few research papers.

“Ash’s pokemon actually helped a lot with those papers.” Oak purposely chooses to ignore Ash’s clear facial expression of pure agony when Gou sent a wide eyed look at him.

Ash’s pokemon are mostly moved to his house by know besides Muk because he eats the Professors food recycling and compost so Gou and Chloe don’t get to see any of them besides what he has on hand and Muk.

“You should go and show Lance and Agatha what you caught.” Daisy makes the mistake this time because now Gou has, once more, descended upon him asking if he knows THE Champion Lance.

———

It happens in the same day. Chloe was supposed to be back in Viridian an hour ago for school but her dad called her out for the day saying something like, it’s more educational! And you get to see more of Kanto then you’ve ever had before!, which is whatever.

Gou is freaking out even more, like to the point of hyperventilating, as he reads off any facts that he can fine on the Kanto Champ and E-Four. Ash doesn’t even bother listening, to tired still because Daisy and Gary drained the entire fucking pot before Ash’s second cup, and he’s instead texting Lance to meet him behind a Denys so he can fist fight the man instead of their Dragonites.

Lance, being the League Dad that he is, decided to wait for Ash and His friends right out in front of the front door. Decked in his casual wear because he Dad.

Ash, on sight, gets the giant urge to punch Lance because he needs to just Stop but he settles for stomping on his feet when Lance pulls him into a hug and keeps an arm curled around him as he leads them through the castle to his office. Chloe and Gou don’t spot him because their both to preoccupied with freaking out about being in the Kanto/Johto League Castle to see Lance and Ash tripping each other up throughout the entire way.

———

Ash got the other Champions addicted to Boba. It got to the point that they always go out a get some after meetings or during their lunch breaks during those meetings.

Ash’s favorite is orange cream with mango jellies that fill the entire bottom of the cup.

———

Dawn has kind of become a sister between Ash and Gary, they form the Gremlin Trio, and this causes the adults such as Professor Oak and Delia to cring slightly because the trios dynamic reminds them of Red, Green, and Blue.

1 for rowan, 2 for elodie, 3 for cerise and 8 for liss :]

1. Sitting in the middle of a circle that appears to be magical is a chair emanating strong necromantic energy. The circle itself seems to have a connection to the astral sea. When a familiar tried to cast Identify on the chair, it died instantly. Would your character touch the chair?

yes <3 like she’d try some shenanigans and magic to do it “safely” but also yes <3

2. A powerful warlock has assassinated a group of important people, including your friend’s father. However, she is your childhood friend, and is clearly not in control of her own actions. How does your character treat her?

oh :D yeah no elodie would be even more hard committing to trying to spare/save/help said warlock than cerise is currently being. elodie isn’t hardened like cerise is. and especially after everything Elodie learned from esme (no relation to the esme that this question is actually about), and after all the fucked up god and warlock shit empire party has been dealing with??? the Changebringer’s whole DEAL is freeing people! come on! if someone is being manipulated and is in a bad situation and there’s a way to give a second and third and fourth chance we are GIVING it

3. Imix, the prince of Elemental Fire, a CR 19 monster, is attacking your character while they plummet through the air on meteors. It is made clear that all the party has to do is survive for a certain number of rounds, after which they will be healed. Would your character try to fight Imix, or focus on healing?

healing and thunderstepping people out of danger, of COURSE, who would ever TRY to fight IMIX,

8. When attempting to return home to the Fey Wild, your character accidentally got sent to Shadowfell. Would they drink from a chalice by a pool in the bottom of a system of caves that they were told held the only source of magic in Shadowfell?

liss has simply so many abilities that would make this not a situation she’d be in or let her get more information if she was in it BUT if this situation is cutting her off from luciana she like...might. magic! better to Do Something then to just let things happen! and her passive insight is 25 so she can be pretty sure that if she’s down here in this situation it really is the last option.

╰☆╮MUSE 46 — wait, is that cerise “reese” du pont? is it just me or does the twenty-one year-old look exactly like abigail cowen? last i heard, they still weren’t over being exposed by the sentinel. according to the app, they can be credulous & turbulent, but i’ve also heard they're intrepid & audacious. can’t be too sure, people have a way of surprising you. all i know is that they remind me of vape scented smoke appearing in the middle of lecture , filming viral tik tok’s in public , the brushing down of a horse , forgetting a pencil but remembering to bring the juul to class & drinking homemade moonshine for barbie movie drinking games. honestly, the broadcast communications major should try to keep their head down. after the events of last semester, i wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. ╰☆╮

wow hey hi hello!! i’m kaya and this is my lil crackhead, reese!! this got really long because i never know when to shut up but if you want to plot pls hit me up here on tumblr or on discord at medieval 4loko gang#5402

P A R A L L E L S

gigi ( booksmart ) , keanu reeves ( always be my maybe ) , serena van der woodsen ( gossip girl ) , kirby anders ( dynasty )

T R O P E S

hard-drinking party girl , cloudcuckoolander , the trickster , upper-class equestrian , fleeting passionate hobbies , naive animal lover , fearless fool , playing with fire , parental neglect , fantasy-forbidding father

S U M M A R Y

born and raised in wilmington, delaware on the du pont family ranch, reese learned how to ride and compete on her family’s thoroughbreds. she’s a seasoned equestrian who typically competed in eventing and throughout the years had accumulated a series of ribbons and trophies between dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. definitely was a horse girl growing up and tbh still is???? definitely not the type to eat grass anymore BUT if given the chance she will not shut up about them.

a veterinarian before marrying into the du pont family, reese’s mother had their ranch doubling as both a home and veterinary clinic where the kids would help with the animals and keep them company. this caused reese to develop a soft spot for them, one that contributed to her going vegetarian at the age of 12 and eventually vegan at 15. it was also this love of animals that led her to wanting to help the environment they lived in and so her parents put her in girl scouts and eventually her love for the outdoors would cause her to join steinhardt’s outing club.

while her mother, eleanor, also helps out with the du pont family business of breeding thoroughbreds as well as run her clinic, her father, pierre, is a chairman of dupont, a conglomerate who got its start in the black powder market before expanding into chemicals for agriculture, materials science, and specialty products.

he was the type to have HIGH expectations for his family, expectations that reese never met. not that she cared to. definitely not a daddy’s girl, she’ll be the first one to call her father out for being a pompous douche straight to his face. probably quoted this to her father during a thanksgiving toast of “what are we thankful for this year”.

the black sheep of her family, even at a young age she could be found stirring up some trouble and almost always dragging one of her siblings or cousins along with her. a rebellious child who didn’t like being put into a box, she lived in a fantasy world of whimsy, often playing make-believe much to her father’s chagrin. she believed in all things fantastical from fairies to mermaids and while pierre tried to stifle those thoughts, they stubbornly remained.

even through her teenage years she’s held onto the firm belief that barbie lore is real. no one knows if she actually believes that or if it’s all of the drugs and her love for the movies getting to her head, but when confronted about it she will always be adamant that it’s a legitimate form of history.

speaking of history, her concept of it is slightly skewed?? def has weird beliefs of what communists are?? like you’re an android user??? suddenly she thinks you’re a communist????

tbh you could probably tell her something about anything and she’ll believe you without a hint of doubt. research?? she dunno her!! you could say the moon is a government con-job and she’d think it’s a fact??? super gullible and it’s a mess

i guess now would be a good time to preface that she’s dumb. stupid. an idiot. the list goes on but when i say she’s lacking brain cells… i mean it. the definition of head empty, she probably has a bunch of rocks where her brain should be sdfgh. but really, she can be innovative when she wants to be but academically she just doesn’t care to do well. in high school she ditched classes more often than not and was probably the kid smoking under the bleachers.

but where she lacks in intelligence she makes up for in brawn??? def the brawn over brains type who was a jock in high school. competed for her school’s equestrian team but also was on the fencing and archery teams. she once begged to be put into archery lessons after seeing the princess diaries 2 and fencing just came along not too soon after. she also used to run track and play soccer but those two sports ended after her senior year of high school although she probably still plays for the steinhardt’s intermurral league as well as any athletic competitions her sorority, tri-zeta ( zeta zeta zeta ) enters.

definitely the jack of all trades type except she’s passable at a whole bunch of things but good at none of them. probably can change a tire but it’ll need to be changed again soon. can bake a cake but it’ll be a little dry. the list goes on. she’s just very curious and picks up a lot of things but gets bored of them easily so she changes to the next thing.

okay i know i said she could bake a cake but she really…can’t. like with supervision she probably could but she’s impulsive and following directions for that many ingredients??? impossible. she just gets tempted to toss everything into a bowl and wing it and she does that every time. she can however make rice krispy treats. especially if they’re suppose to be edibles dfghj. but ya, don’t ask her to cook bc she can. not.

a stoner and overall drug connoisseur, she’s probably most known for being that kid who forgets to bring their backpack to class but don’t worry!! she remembered her juul!! has a collection of juuls on her person at all times. definitely that party girl who shows up hungover to class whenever she did bother to show up.

calls herself an entrepreneur because she used to sell edibles and other drug-related things and definitely was that tweet where she would give discounts if you signed an environmental petition or went to a protest.

has never said no to a dare EVER. you name it and she’ll do it. and if you dare her to drink cow titty milk or eat a piece of meat she’ll do it but it just makes you a dick dfghj

gets bored easily and tends to lash out and do something chaotic because of it?? the type to spontaneously light a couch on fire because she felt like it. a mild pyromaniac who once learned how to make a molotov cocktail. she can’t do it well. at all. but the one time she did try was also the same day she realized what a dumpster fire looked like.

i’m also not saying she’s out here to ruin your life for her own whims but like home girl has ZERO boundaries for anything. if you want to say she was a homewrecker in a past relationship??? honestly full send because it probably was her. morally she’s chaotic neutral and doesn’t care to be good or evil, she just wants to live her life of chaos and whatever happens happens. it should also be noted that she’s selfish. she puts herself first and others second always.

god someone pls try to start a fight with her. she’d either pat you on the head and ignore you OR go feral and just…foam at the mouth and bite you. probably claims to have gingervitis which is where she like…sprays vegan whip cream into her mouth and just… attacks you. for fun.

WOW ALMOST FORGOT but she’s a big larper!!! loves to go to the ones that are historical-esque where she can be an elf ( because she has a collection of elf ear tips dfghjk ) and acts as a knight/ranger by using her ACTUAL fencing, archery, and equestrian skills. she learned sindarin ( elvish ) for this but also she’s a big lord of the rings fan in general so it just worked out. her character’s storyline is her acting as her cousin, taay’s, protector but she has been known to enroll in a few competitions regarding any of her three skills.

currently selling moonshine alongside her roommates of trap zeta ( also known as the residents of the moonshine & roses subplot ) and so if you saw her running around with stolen pressure cookers, that is why !! making your own alcohol is illegal, but selling it??? even worse so they only sell it to trusted customers and anyone vetted by their usual customers. they probably have secret passwords and shit just like the prohibition period.

speaking of trap zeta, with the exception of fraternities on greek row, they throw the biggest parties. their jungle juice??? fire AND strong but also, they keep it in like....these dispensing chugs with a key so the only ones with access to fill them up or trap zeta themselves. they also have a stripper pole ( or two ) around their living room so like...ya get lit, get twisted, go off ig.

let it be known that their sorority, tri-zeta, is actually known for their stellar amount of community service but after the residents of trap zeta moved in together their sophomore year, the rep for partying started to increase and that’s why the home of muse 46-50 is nicknamed trap zeta. reese has probably been sent to standards way too many times and only got in and is still in bc her mother is a very generous alumni of steinhardt’s chapter of tri-zeta.

a broadcast communications major, she’s a social media intern for steinhardt’s barstool page but most importantly has a whole tik tok account alongside her roommates dedicated to their college antics. think the hype house except it’s not pg-13 dancing and rly just their crackhead, drunk antics. might eventually make a playlist of tik tok’s that are probably posted on their account, we’ll see.

okay so you know the whole exposing of secrets from last semester??? reese doesn’t usually get mad but rn she Big Mad. like not only are they be scrutinized by the dean but their sorority is too and suddenly tensions are high between tri-zeta bc if trap zeta gets caught they all suffer and their chapter will be shut down and it’ll be a whole ass mess. atm she suspects their customers and even their somewhat rivals, the drug dealers of the ludes plot, but does she suspect anyone from the house??? no not rly

you can find her stats page here and a wc page here

you can also find her pinterest board here

i also have a reese playlist here and a trap zeta playlist here

#steinhardt:intro #is this coherent??? who knows #i sure don't #alcohol tw #drug tw #illegal activities tw

Fansite

Synopsis- After months of being fanboys, Hyunjin and his friends arennew fansites for the girl group, Hue, and after several misadventures, the group is starting to recognize them, Hyunjin in particular, as the most memorable fanboys they've met.

"None of these photos came out right, they're all blurry," Jaemin slammed his laptop shut in anger, "how am I supposed to be the best Cerise fansite out there if I can't even catch her in moment? Look! Her hair looks amazing, but her face is all blurry because Lil-"

A pillow hit the boy in the face as Hyunjin looked up from his laptop, "Don't blame Lilac! It's not my fault your camera is 4 years old and there's dust inside of it."

"At least he didn't drop our gift to them. Starbucks aren't cheap, that order had to be like 30 dollars," Gai pointed out to the group, fixing the TV signal, "I'll never forget the look on Bai's face when that black coffee with 2 sugar packets fell the group."

"To be fair, it was only 20 dollars because Cerise isn't supposed to have caffeine since she was in the hospital back in February and the doctor told her to cool it."

"Stop being such a fanboy," Hyunjin swatted Jaemin's hair as he collected the pillow from the floor.

Hyunjin, Jaemin, Gai and Jongho were having a monthly meeting for their favorite girl group, Hue, and this is their first meeting as official fansites of the girls. Gai's bias was Emerald, Jaemin's was Cerise, Jongho couldn't decide between Cierra or Bai and Hyunjin immediately fell for Lilac, as known as Y/N. The boys sat around the tv as Hue's interview started.

"Color the sky! Hi, we are Hue!" The girls cheeted in unison, each dressed in their respective color.

"We are so proud of our Shades. Because of you all, we have our first win for 'Borealis,' and we couldn't be anymore thankful," Cierra, the group's leader, dressed in a black tanktop, black shorts and fishnets with boots, spoke.

"We also have another announcement!" Cerise, the main dancer dressed in a short pink plaid skirt and a matching t-shirt, pointed to the camera.

"Yes, we do, Cerise!" Emerald, the main rapper clad in a green outfit similar to Cierra, continued the prepared speech, "we're inviting several fansites to an exclusive fanmeet!"

"That we are!" Bai, the maknae in a white, off the shoulder dress spoke, "Lilac is going to announce the 40 fansites who are coming to this special event happening in 2 days at Thalian Hall."

As soon as the girl in the purple v-neck t-shirt with matching high-waisted shorts and garter belts came on the screen, Hyunjin was mesmerized. A chorus of birds spinning around his head as he imagined his life with Lilac.

"Oh, Lilac! I love you so much!"

"Hyunie! We're getting married! Please call me Y/N!"

"Oh Y/N, my bride! My princess!"

He broke out of his daydream as Jongho started shaking him.

"We're going to the event! This time as official people! We're going to get passes and get to see them up close!" Jongho yelled in Hyunjin's face.

"We can make up for all those fanmeets where Hyunjin destroyed a set piece!" Gai cheered, running to clean his camera.

"Or accidentally hit a bodyguard!" Jaemin kissed the TV screen when Cerise showed up, disgusting Jongho as he patted Hyunjin on the back, "or all the times we tried to give them little gifts, only for Hyunjin to get them taken or ruin them."

"Bro! This is our chance! We actually get to talk to the girls for a little bit and even hold their hands! We finally get to have photos that we can edit! We can make our own gifs!" Jongho cheered, jumping up and down on the sofa.

Hyunjin sat stunned, he has an opportunity to make up for his slip-ups. He still doesn't forgive himself for accidentally spilling a unicorn frappuccino for Y/N down a bodyguard's back.

'Hopefully she has forgotten about that incident'

"Ok, guys," Hyunjin opened his laptop on the table, hyping the group up, "if we're going to impress the girls, we should practice!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Color the sky! Hi, we wre Hue!" The girl group announced their presence as the small 40-person audience cheered.

"We are so proud of you Shade, that we had to do something special," Cyan spoke in the microphone, a small amount of feedback fading in and out.

"I already see a few familiar faces out there," Emerald waved her lightstick in the air, "Emmy's World, who has been to every event since pre-debut! A legendary Shade, if I do say so myself."

The crowd laughed as the sound of shutters and the bright flashes went off, capturing the girls in every moment. Hyunjin watched as the crowd had different techniques to get the girls' attention. Emmy's World had a sign above their camera that said "Emerald, over here!" Another fansite called Light Cream for Bai had a polar bear plushie taped to the top of their camera and Jaemin was dressed head to toe in hot pink for Cerise, becoming the fansite Neon Flamingo.

Hyunjin felt like he was disassociating, this isn't his real life, it's just a dream and he's going to wake up soon, Gai is going to freak out because he found a cute picture of Emerald that actually allowed editing, Jaemin will be attempting to DM Cerise and Jongho will be making a pros-cons list of having a double bias.

Hyunjin heard his fansite name, Field of Lilacs, through the speaker. He walked to the front of the crowd, shooting photos of Y/N as she posed in a purple mid-thigh skater skirt, her off-white lilac-hued button up tucked into the skirt.

"Hey," Y/N pointed at Hyunjin, "you're the coffee guy, right?!"

Hyunjin wished to shrink in on himself as he felt everyone's eyes on him, some burning holes into his head. Hyunjin kept his head down, looking at the pictures he took, ashamed of the fact he's known as the coffee guy. He wanted to run away, but he continued to take photos.

A wave of guilt came over Y/N. Maybe she shouldn't have brought that up, she just wanted to make the cute guy with the light blue shirt knew he was actually one of the fans the girls knew and talked about all the time.

'Does he feel bad about the coffee? It was just an accident...'

Y/N whispered to Emerald, no one could tell for Y/N had hid her mouth by her hand. After Emerald had talked to one of their managers, Y/N kept her eye on Hyunjin, who felt awkward the rest of the event.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Guys! Holy shit, we have so many good photos! Look at Cyan!" Gai flipped through his camera roll as Jaemin and Jongho were looking at each other's photos.

Hyunjin sat on a bench outside the event hallway, kicking his feet as he played with the camera strap. The other three boys were running around like chickens with their heads cut off when Hyunjin was approached by a tall man.

"Ms. Y/N is asking for you," the bodyguard towered over Hyunjin, the intimidation factor causing Hyunjin to go wide-eyed, "Nothing bad. She just wishes to talk to you privately."

Hyunjin took a glimpse at his friends, who were still comparing photos and talking about their favorite moments, "Uuhh, yea, sure."

The pair walked down the hallway, heading towards a double door which led to the Hue tour bus and the five members standing outside the bus, making sure they have all their luggage.

"Thanks Davey," Y/N dismissed the bodyguard as he patted Hyunjin's back, the boy lurching forward, Y/N's hands catching his shoulders and helping him avoid falling.

"Umm, sorry," Hyunjin kept curled up in himself.

"No, oh my God, I should be sayimg sorry to you. I didn't realize you were embarrassed by the whole coffee situation," Y/N apologized, feeling genuinely awful about the situation, "I know some of the fansites were plotting your demise by the way they were staring at you."

Hyunjin sported a small smile, "honestly, it's okay. I just wasn't expecting it from my ultimate bias."

"Oh?!" Y/N dramatically put her hand over her heart, "little old me?! Your ultimate bias? I think Neon Flamingo may be my favorite fansite."

Hyunjin and Y/N started laughing, the awkwardness fading as they continued to stand around each other. They shared glances at each other until Y/N reached into her bag, pulling out a piece of paper and a purple pen.

"Here. It's my personal profile," Y/N handed Hyunjin a piece of paper, hiding it under Bai's camera, "be careful, if it gets out, Davey is going to blame you and he knows your face very well."

"I can buy him a coffee if it would make him feel better," Hyunjin adjusted the bag on his shoulder, easing his fidgetiness.

Y/N and Hyunjin stood in comfortable silence as the three other boys started shouting for their missing friend.

"I should probably go as well, we have rehearsals tonight," Y/N softly smiled at Hyunjin, "it was really nice actually getting to talk to Mr. Disaster."

Hyunjin chuckled at the nickname, realizing he's still holding Bai's camera, "if you don't mind, may I get one photo?"

"I don't think Bai would mind," Y/N took the camera, putting her hand on Hyunjin's waist as she extended her arm out.

The camera flashed and she kissed Hyunjin's cheek, the photo printing out as she handed it to Hyunjin. Hue's manager started yelling for all the girls to get in the bus, Y/N running and waving back at Hyunjin.

"I'll see you later," Y/N shouted as the door to the bus closed, leaving Hyunjin with the photo of the pairing.

Putting the small photo in his phonecase, Hyunjin unlocked his phone, opening an app and adding Y/N. After a short bit, his phone pinged with a notification he never thought he would see.

"LilacLovesHue has added you!"

together, we break the rules

been having fun talking about an atla au with my friends;

wrote another piece for it. anita is @dorkousloris‘s oc, logan is @hotlineaisui‘s oc, lyn is @queenofthieves‘s oc, zia is @ratkingkisses oc, finally, angel and cerise are @frozenabattoir‘s ocs.

---

“Why are there so many soldiers in this town?”

“It sounds like they caught a witch in the area recently.”

“Witch what?”

“No, like– a witch, witch.” Ari frowns, one hand firm on her mug of tea. “Like– spooky lady kind.”

Anita leans in over the table, eyes wide. “That’s a real thing?”

“No… No it’s not.”

“But why would someone…?”

“Oh, I can think of a few reasons…”

As soon as the pair finish their drinks, they leave the tavern in huddled conversation. The waitress wonders is maybe she should tell someone what she overheard them discussing but… the one with the goggles did tip well. Whatever, the town is crawling with soldiers.

Ari glances around the street for listening ears as she and Anita walk back to where Bugbear is waiting on the town outskirts. “You s–sure you want to d–do this?”

Anita nods, squaring their shoulders. “We gotta! They’re going to kill her.”

“Glad w–we agree.” Ari pats Anita on the back. “We b–better make sure we’re ready. This is going to–to–to be even worse than when we tried to free those lemurs awhile back.”

Anita nods, then picks up the pace as Bugbear comes into view, snoozing under a tree. “Bugbear!!” The beardog picks his head up with a happy ‘bork, bork.’

Anita runs a hand through Bugbear’s fur, “I’m a lot better with that Bo staff now, we can do this.”

Ari comes to a stop before the two of them. Bugbear cranes his head down and with a anxious hand Ari gently rubs his muzzle. “We just need to jump in there, grab the, ahem ‘witch’ and run the heck away.”

“What could go wrong?”

“You had to ask, didn’t you.”

–

“You ready?”

“Y–yeah.”

Anita leans down to whisper into Bugbear’s ear. Ari clenches her eyes shut in a silent prayer as Bugbear lumbers to his feet. Not far in the distance, a pair of earth kingdom soldiers stand ready at the gallows. Their attention is focused on the woman being half walked / half dragged to her fate. Head held high, not sparing a glance for the crowd lingering behind that’s gathered to watch the show.

How many soldiers? Six? No eight, there’s two more at the rear. Ari has to assume they’re all earthbenders. Not great odds, even with Bugbear to tilt the scale. “W–we got to try.”

Anita nods and with a word Bugbear leaps into the sky, over the crowd.

The crowd erupts into screams as they land, Bugbear flattening the guard holding the ‘witch’s’ chains into the ground.

A gout of flame knocks the second guard off his feet and into the dirt. Ari ducks her head as Anita tries to calm Bugbear. “Holy shit! F–f–firebenders!?” Search the crowd and – there, two of them. Headed straight for them through a parting in the crowd.

And that’s when the boulder connects with Ari’s shoulder sending her spinning off Bugbear and into the ground.

–

It had taken most of the night to work out the plan. They needed to hit at just the right moment in order to take full-advantage of the surprise. Running through every possible scenario, drawing out a plan of attack. Lyn frowns as she looks over the crowd, the armed guards. There’s too many variables, too many of them, and only her and Logan. “You’re sure?” She questions in hushed whisper.

Logan frowns, as if not entirely comfortable with the question. “I can… feel it.”

“Intuition again?” Lyn chews the inside her cheek. That’s not the reassurance she was hoping for.

“Yeah.” Logan rolls a shoulder, feels the joint crackle and pop. “Regret coming with me, yet?”

Lyn shakes her head, “You wouldn’t have lasted two weeks without me.” Smiles.

Logan doesn’t smile back. “Let’s see if we last the next two hours.”

A gasp rises out of the crowd and a shadow passes over Logan and Lyn as they look up. A beardog sails overhead, over the crowd and lands on top of one of the pair of guards escorting the ‘witch.’ Gasps turn to screams as the soldiers rush in, the witch falling backwards in surprise.

“Really.” Lyn facepalms.

Logan laughs as she drops into a firebending stance. “Knew planning was a waste of time.”

People get out of the way in a hurry as the two firebenders send a burst of flame across the field to knock down the witch’s second escort.

“Holy shit!” One of the two figures atop for the beardog cries out, as she looks their way, “f–f–firebenders!?” Lyn groans. It’s that gogglehead and the airbender they overhead at the tavern last night. What were the odds?

The guards are in combat stances now, one plants his feet and pulls up a chunk of earth. Lyn slides to a stop, cups her hands around her mouth, “Look out you idiot!”

Too late, the boulder goes flying, clipping the woman in the shoulder and knocking her off her ride. The other rider glances back, panicked. “Ari!?” The beardog growls and leaps again, pouncing on another guard as his rider cries out in surprise, desperately holding on.

As Logan rushes ahead, Lyn tears off her hat and pulls back her hair. Forehead tattoo exposed, Lyn grits her teeth as she focuses, hands clenched. A burst of energy collects and then shoots out exploding against the guard that had knocked the rider off, sending him flying and skidding across the grass.

Logan slides to a stop by the woman at the center of the chaos, who was – Logan noted with some concern – laughing. With one hand she reaches down to grab the prisoner by the arm, pulling her to her feet. “Witch?”

The woman’s shock is quickly masked with a cool confidence. “Yes, that’s me. I’m the witch.”

“Are you a waterbender?”

The red-haired woman that had fallen to the ground has pulled herself up with her staff, which she now points in Logan’s direction. “N–n–now hold on, who the hell are you guys?”

–

If Zia was going to die today, then she wasn’t going to give them the satisfaction of begging for mercy. After everything she’d done for this town; the sick she had cured, the injuries she had healed… the dozens of little miracles she had worked over the years as she honed her craft. None of it had meant anything in the end. Just another bloodbender. A nasty ‘witch’ lurking in the forest.

They hadn’t deserved her.

If Zia was going to die today. Despite everything there remained the conviction; she’d get out of this one. Just like she got out of the last mob. Or the one before that, that drove her from her homeland. Something was going to happen, and she alone would remain standing.

Something would happen, she was sure of it. Even as she was marched through the streets, hands bound in metal shackles before her. Something would happen, even as the crowd gathered to watch. Even as the gallows came into sight. Something would happen.

Right?

A massive brown dog the size of a bear fell out of the sky, flattening the guard holding her chains and knocking her flat on her ass. The crowd erupted into panicked screams as a gout of fire shot out from within the crowd and knocked away the guard that had been following behind her.

Zia couldn’t help the laugh.

Something was happening.

A blond woman slides to a stop in front of her, reaching down to grab her by the arm. Pulling Zia to her feet, the woman looked her in the eyes, “Witch?”

A cold smile formed on Zia’s face. “Yes, that’s me. I’m the witch.”

The woman nods, “Are you a waterbender?”

A wooden staff thrusts in between them and Zia glances over to the owner. A red-haired woman that had been knocked off the beardog. “N–n–now hold on, who the hell are you guys?”

The blond glances between her and Zia. Around them the noise of battle as the other firebender and the beardog try to hold off the remaining guards. A quick moment of mental calculus. “I’m here to rescue you,” she says, looking straight at Zia.

The other woman falters, lowers her staff. “Uh– Okay. Us t–too.”

The blond focus on Zia again. “Are you a waterbender?” She repeats.

Zia smiles and holds up her wrists, still bound together in metal. “Let me out darling, and I’ll show you.”

A shower of stone pelts the three of them, forcing them to the ground, shielding their faces. The woman with the staff hisses through gritted teeth. “Get her loose.” She stands up again, shield her eyes with one arm, holding the staff with the other outstretched. A gust of air blows back against the rocks as she spins her staff.

The firebender grunts and moves towards Zia, and again Zia holds out her wrists expectant. A small flame comes to life in the bender’s hands and begins to heat the metal.

–

“Ari!!”

Anita cranes backwards, trying to grab Ari as she falls to the ground, sleeve slipping out of her grasp. Bugbear cranes up, borking in surprise and Anita flings herself against him, holding tight. “Hey, hey, easy boy!”

Bugbear borks and leaps, jumping on another of the soldiers as behind them and boom rings out. An explosion? Anita glances backwards to see another two figures rushing them in the field. Oh no, more trouble?

And then one of them turns to face one of the soldiers running down from the gallows and Anita watches the burst of white energy collect against the woman’s tattoo’d forehead before shooting across the field to explode against the soldiers, knocking him back against the wooden structure.

Are they… helping?

There’s Ari, pulling herself up off the ground, while a blond-haired lady in bulky-clothing helps up the ‘witch.’ Wearing armor underneath? Unnoticed by the three, one of the soldiers plants his feet into the earth, pulling his arms back. Antia frowns, “com’on boy!” Patting Bugbear on the side, Anita urges him forward. Bugbear borks and headbutts the soldier, sending him sprawling end over even as his pile of earth collapses back into the ground.

“Yeah!” Anita fist pumps the air, “good work boy!” The sense of victory doesn’t last long. Anita notices the boulder flying their direction just in time to urge Bugbear out of the way. Before the soldier can throw something else, the woman with the tattoo crashes into him with a kick trailing fire.

Who’s still standing? One of the soldier’s bugbear pounced on is back on his feet. With a furious cry he sends a stream of stones and uprooted clumps of earth at Ari, the ‘witch,’ and the mystery blond. “Ari! We’re coming!” Anita urges Bugbear onward again, and they barrel into the man, knocking him to the ground.

“Ari!” Anita glances back to their friend, “you okay?”

Ari grimaces, nods her head. “J–j–just peachy.”

–

The metal melts under Logan’s flame and finally the chain weakens and snaps in two. She shakes her hand, willing the heat to dissipate faster. “We can do a proper job later.”

The witch nods, a broad smile on her face. “Looking forward to it, dear.” She rubs her wrists, flexes her fingers as Logan steps back. “What’s the escape plan?”

Logan frowns, looking over her shoulder. The crowd has dispersed now. In its place a contingent of soldiers is marching down the street towards them. “…run?”

The witch’s smile melts. “Run? That’s your best idea?”

“Yeah well–”

“That was our plan, alright.” The airbender with the staff approaches the two of them, alongside the beardog and it’s rider.

Lyn runs over to them, pulling her hat back on. “We need to go!”

“Just a moment, lovelies.” Witch steps forward, twisting her hand. Around her the grass browns and withers in a widening spiral, beads of moisture collecting into a ring around her. With a flick of her wrist the water collects into an arc in front of her and cascades out in a sheet, turning into ice as it goes and rising into a rapidly thickening wall between them and the incoming soldiers. “There, as you were saying?”

Logan glances at the gathered crowd, then up at the beardog. “Can we all fit on that thing?”

The rider pulls at their goggles, counting with one hand. “Mmmmaaaybe?”

“Then we’re doing it.” Logan gestures them to get moving, “Everyone on the giant dog. Go, go, go.”

The witch falters, “R–really now?”

Lyn glares at the woman, “if you think we’re leaving you behind after all this trouble…”

A smile pulls on Logan’s face, “No sense hanging around here.”

“Ugh.” A look of resignation passes over the witch. “Very well.”

–

Angel lounges in bed, one arm behind her head, the other hand snapping a flame on and off, on and off. When the door opens, she watches with mild disinterest as her bodyguard enters the room.

Cerise puts her hands behind her back. “Mistress, we have a new report.”

Angel sighs, rolls her eyes and dismisses the flame with a wave of her hand. “Well? What is it?”

“The false avatar has been spotted in Zhang this time.”

Angel groans and runs a hand through her hair. “Tell me, Cerise, why is it that our little imposter has to go to most backwater boring places imaginable?”

“She’s likely attempting to keep a low profile.” Cerise pauses, frowns. “Well, until now anyway.”

“What is the point of impersonating the avatar if you don’t milk it for all it’s worth?” Angel stands up and stretches a hand up towards the ceiling. “I’d thought volunteering for this would mean I get to see the world, drink the best booze, find the hottest people… “ Cerise winces. “All on the Fire Lord’s dime! But what have we done so far?” She clenches her hand into a fist and brings it down hard, a wisp of flame trailing after it. “Slummed it in port towns! Harassed podunk villages who can’t even read! Argh! It’s so boring! I hate it!” She stamps her foot.

Cerise keeps her face blank. “That must be incredibly hard for you, mistress.”

“Truly, you have no idea.” Angel laughs. She stalks over to the map unspooled on desk by the door, “But you know what?”

“What, mistress?”

Angel puts a finger to the map tapping the island where they started then tracing a line across their path in pursuit of the imposter avatar. “Do you see what I see here?”

Cerise steps closer, frowning as she does. “I… no.”

“It’s a straight line. A straight line to where?”

“Ba Sing Se.”

005: Time to Rock Out

Nova and Jade sat opposite one another, the former on the floor with his head bowed and the latter on the couch with one leg crossed in front of the other. Kat stood between them, paws on her hips and right foot tapping the carpet. Moonchaser sat behind the couch, with Terry perched on her head, yet hidden under her wavy hair.

“All right. Jigsaw Puzzle here has said his piece.” Kat looked at Jade. “So, what’ve you got to say to all of this?”

Jade’s lips curled slightly. She gripped her right shoulder. “Why weren’t you more upfront about all of this from the beginning?”

“Because it was all still a bit new to me.” Nova sighed. “I don’t want to force any of you to get involved with this. You all seem like good pokémon.”

“Then why did you pay off Trina’s debt, huh? To guilt us into working with you? Or did you just have a guilty conscience over making our trainer disappear?” Jade said, tail flaps curling up.

“N-Neither! I didn’t even realize that I was responsible for that,” Nova squawked, fur puffing up. “You just... you looked like you needed help. And I wanted to help.”

“Why? No offense, but with a story like yours, I have a hard time believe you’d step in and be this altruistic just because you can.” Jade sat up straight and looked Nova right in the eyes. “So, out with it.”

“It makes me happy. That’s why.” Nova flinched when Jade raised her brow. “Helping people and seeing them happy makes me happy. And, uh...” A red tinge overtook his eyes and cheek bolts. “I guess I kinda like it when people pay attention to me and, y’know, give me praise and stuff.”

He shook his head. “But that doesn’t mean I don’t care about you guys! Your, uh, family has been through quite a lot.”

“Exactly why you shouldn’t be trying to horn in on it. You haven’t been there with us. We’ve no reason to treat you like some sort of sibling.” Jade flicked a hand dismissively.

“I understand.” Nova shut his eyes. “If you want me to leave, I will. I’m not looking to make a fuss or cause a scene.”

Behind Jade, Moonchaser frowned. Then, Terry popped out from her mane.

“W-Wait! No, don’t leave. Who’s going to cook me that incredibly berry stew or read me stuff from Trina’s old books?” Terry hopped onto the couch and looked at Jade. “M-Maybe he’s keeping secrets and stuff... but how is that any different from when you were sneaking off to see that kommo-o that guy with the funny-looking outfit owned?”

“Hold up... Jade’s been seeing someone? And you didn’t tell us?”

Jade’s right eye twitched. “I told you to keep your trap shut about that, little one.”

“Doesn’t that just kind of prove Terry’s point, though? I mean... I’d been with Topaz for well over a year before we told the rest of you.”

“And she doesn’t even have the decency to come out and take part in this conversation,” Jade scoffed. “Remind me to give those big, dumb espeon ears of hers a stern talking to later.” She scowled.

“This is all counterproductive, Jade.” Kat turned to Nova. “Answer me this, Jigsaw: what if some of us agree to help you, but the situation’s beyond our capabilities?”

“Then I’ll put you into your poké balls and wormhole away from the Harvesters as soon as possible,” Nova said, surprised at how quickly that answer came out.

“Even if it means the Harvesters escape and you get into trouble with those snobbish Galar folk?” Kat asked, leaning in. Nova stepped back, confused why her gaze was focused more on his chest than his eyes.

“Y-Yes. Even if it means I miss out on the Harvesters. Your safety is far more important than mine,” Nova said, glancing at the others. “And no one has to come with me if they don’t want to. I can go it with only Cerise.”

“That won’t be necessary.” Kat rested her paws behind her head. “As I said, this whole thing’s got me curious. So, I wanna come with.”

Moonchaser padded her way around the couch. “As do I. After all, how can I have a happy life with Topaz if these Harvester goons are threatening it?” She and Kat looked at Jade. After several seconds of silence, Jade hung her head.

“I’m getting too old for this shit,” she whispered.

“Please. You’re in the prime of your youth. Same as us,” Kat said, smirking.

“Fine. Just lemme get one thing.” Jade hopped to her feet and walked out of the room. Nova looked at Kat, who could only shrug. After a couple of minutes of waiting, Jade walked back in carrying a small glass with several glimmering trinkets.

“W-Wait a sec... those are Z-Crystals!” Nova spotted ones for fire, poison, psychic, water, fighting, and fairy. “These would be Trina’s, wouldn’t they? Why are you showing them to me?”

“You’re a necrozma trying to build a new core, right? Well then, you’re going to need these.” She shoved the glass toward Nova. “Oh, and don’t worry, I’ll come up with a way you can repay my generosity.”

Nova wasn’t sure he liked the tone in Jade’s voice...

MEET YVETTE.

here is how it all begins.

it all begins (or maybe the correct word is resumes) with the basement of an abandoned shack in saint louis. 2010.

and it all begins (or maybe the correct word is resumes) with pain.

that’s it. that’s all. for the longest time, there’s just pain. the kind that’s so intense it doesn’t leave room for anything else. you don’t know it yet, but this will be the best part of your night. because all too soon the pain begins to lessen, and the fear kicks in, and somehow — somehow that manages to be even worse. helpless, powerless, lost in the dark. the edges of your vision are pulsing and cerise-crimson and horrifying. you want to run, but you’re too weak. you can’t feel your legs. there’s just — pain. and fear. and a terrible, terrible sense of loss.

this will be the worst moment of your life, even though there’s not much left of that, either. don’t shy away from it, little lasombra. embrace it. accept it, use it, learn from it. then get over it. open up what pitiful excuse you have left of a heart, as the shadows begin to curl around your prone form, and cry. you’re not sure for what. maybe for all the things you realize you’ve now forgot.

except you can’t even do that right, you monster. you hunch over and begin to sob, but what pours from your eyes isn’t watery tears. what pours from your eyes is blood.

that’s when the beast rears its head inside of you. much as you may feel — much as you may try to pretend to be — human, you’re not. the beast takes over, then. it has different ideas on how you should mourn, and you frenzy. thank god you’re alone here, in the dark basement. thank god you don’t know the way out. the beast inside you paces, roars. you slam your fists against the walls and concrete cracks and pours. shadows flare; the beast screams its fury. gradually it subsides. finally you’re you again.

now scrape your eyes with the back of your dirty hand, and focus. you have work to do.

here is what you know. these are the last words you said before you were beaten into torpor: ne me faites pas ça, s'il vous plait. that’s french. you are french. you are also kindred. this means vampire. you don’t know how or why or when. you know what you can do, know what you should be, and it disgusts you. you are a lasombra, queen of shadows and dominator of souls. you break hearts. break spirits.

break minds.

take things that no one should ever, ever take.

finally the feeling returns to your legs. you’re grateful for a split second, until you stand and everything hurts tenfold. you sway. the shadows shift, as if they’re reaching out to catch you. they don’t. you land hard on your back. dust washes up around you like a gentle cloud, and you take a look around. you don’t recognize the damp, dirtied cellar you’re in. your brows furrow, and you grit your teeth, and you push yourself to your feet. this time you stay standing. there’s a jab in the space where your shriveled-up lungs used to be: a quick one, a heated one, one of pride. you don’t know where you are, or how you got there, but you won’t stay down. you refuse.

but listen, mademoiselle, whatever you are, whoever you are. don’t celebrate your victories just this yet. here is the important bit. here is what you remember.

nothing. for one blissfully annihilating second: nothing. then — the attack. the brutalization. except those words don’t seem to be enough. not painful enough, raw enough, violent enough. they don’t seem to fit, even if you can’t remember exactly what was done to you. they took everything from you in the most violating way possible. that’s all you need to know. (your rotted, shriveled gut twists; for some reason, you get the sickening feeling that this isn’t the first time you’ve been destroyed in this way.)

amnesia. you have amnesia.

and guess what, mademoiselle? the monsters that did this to you, they’re still out there. somewhere. killing, hurting, who knows? hunting for you, perhaps?

only one thing left to do now. move forward. take a step — that’s it. another. bite your lip hard as you fall down again. get back up. you can do this. there you are. another step, mademoiselle. another. look, over there, a door. just a couple more steps. grab the handle, quickly, before you fall. open it, and drag yourself through. no, don’t look back, mademoiselle. leave it all behind, and don’t you dare look back.

this next part is not pleasant. let’s skip over the dark times, the desperate times, where you’ve got nothing and no one and are forced to the lowest of low to survive. you’re forced to do things in the darkest parts of the night, things that you wish so badly to forget as opposed to everything else which you struggle so hard to remember. but you’re determined, and you’re resourceful, and you’re resolute. you make it through somehow, traveling across the midwest. you avoid sabbat cities ruled by merciless kindred and briefly flicker in and out of the cities ruled by the political and ruthless camarilla. you stay just as long as you can before you’re expected to introduce yourself to vampiric court, and then you melt in with the shadows, become the shadows, and you leave.

it’s not safe on your own. you need strength. you need allies.

you’ve heard rumors of safe pockets for kindred like you — of places that won’t outright revile you, of others of your kind (or perhaps another type of supernatural creature as well) looking to form a coterie of sorts. a family. they’re just rumors, but you don’t care. it’s all you have, and you cling to it with what remains of your undead heart.

so here you are, mademoiselle, traveling the world of darkness with nothing to your name save your laptop and backpack full of miscellaneous shit you’ve gathered on your adventures. the appropriate phrase might be that you’re a long way from home, but that’s the biggest lie there is. you never had a home to begin with.

alors on danse, little lasombra. maybe soon you’ll find everything it is you’ve forgotten you ever lost.
