First off, I absolutely love your writing! It truly is incredible. If you like the idea, would you be willing to write about a hero who is deathly terrified of fire and extreme heat? They have kept it a secret all their life, but the villain just found out about it and uses it against them. And the villain taunts them throughout the extreme mental and physical torture? Thanks!
more than willing! hope you like it and thanks so much!
cw: sadistic whumper, hero whumpee, burning, exploiting a phobia (maybe, idk?)
Click. A spurt of yellow flame shot up against the shadows as Villain lit their cigarette. They watched intently as Hero flinched back as far as they could in their restraints.
Villain exhaled a puff of smoke, leaning forward to breath it in Hero’s face.
And there it was again. The veiled panic, flashing across Hero’s eyes. As bright as any flame.
Villain toyed with the lighter. Clicking it on and off. On and off. They circled Hero, watching the city’s savior tense.
They stood behind Hero, still messing with the lighter. Leaning close, they held the lighter in Hero’s face.
Hero inhaled sharply, jerking back. Something like a curse, more of a strangled cry, forced it’s way out of his mouth.
“Hero, you aren’t scared of a tiny lighter now are you?”
“—No,” The lie was spat out too quickly to be believed. “No, no— God—”
Villain had shoved the lighter closer. “Methinks you doth protest too much.” They grabbed a handful of Hero’s hair, forcing Hero to look up.
Dilated eyes locked on the tiny flame.
Sharp, painful breathing.
Villain smiled. “To think the city’s mighty hero is scared of a wee bit of fire.” They held the flame dangerously close to Hero’s hair. A little closer.
“I’m not—”
“Oh, you’re terrified. Don’t deny it.”
Closer still. Dark hair burst alight, burning faster than straw.
Hero yanked against Villain’s hand— that was singed hair he could smell— burning, burning, burning red and gold.
Villain put the flames out by slapping Hero’s head.
Hero collapsed against the wooden table, pressing his face to the cool surface like it was his own personal coffin. Vaguely, he was aware of Villain running their hand through the singed patch of hair. “Don’t cry, my friend. You and I are you going to have loads of fun with this.”
***
Hero could handle anything. Had handled everything. Could take the punches, the pliers, the water boarding.
He could handle it all.
Except fire.
Never that. Never the curling scarlet that set alight every nerve in his body with throbbing red.
***
Open flame spiraled into the low ceiling of the cell.
Vivid blue and brighter red. The colors sank into the walls, the floor. They bled out into the ceiling. Heart-pulsing, throbbing red.
Bruising blue, the color left behind by a fist.
Hero stumbled, knees giving out on him. The world spun and fractured and burst into flame.
Villain hauled him to his feet. “You are so beyond pathetic. It’s just fire.”
Just fire.
“And sure you’re going to stick your arm in it, but, hey maybe after we can make s’mores.”
Hero’s stomach dropped. The words had been like a white-hot knife. “What?”
“Did you say you were left handed or right handed?”
Hero held both arms to his chest. “Please, please, please—”
“Begging? Huh that’s a new low.” Villain’s voice twisted into one of Control. Their abilities far outstripped Hero’s now, after weeks of captivity. “Put your right arm in the fire.”
Crimson-bleeding pain. Hero sobbed even as his arm was dragged forward.
—twisting, murderous pain started at his fingers and crawled upwards— a tattoo of never ending pain—
And Villain? Villain laughed.
Hero’s sobs turned to screams.
“Hey, Hero, Hero,” Villain snapped their fingers to get Hero’s attention. “Smile for the camera.” Click. “I think I’m gonna caption this as ‘Too Hot for You’.”
Again, that laugh.

clearing out my wips and i don't know where to put this (very quick hatojose, cigarette burning)
Joseph hands the cigarette to Hatori, and turns away. He exhales, the smoke curling up and up into the crisp air. It stains the space it touches before it’s carried through the sky.
The cold metal of the balcony bites Joseph’s bare arms, but he doesn’t move them, leaning glumly on the railing. He stares across the streetlights, which bloom under the creeping darkness, and wonders what Hatori is thinking.
He guesses that it was a mistake.
Joseph glances down at Hatori sitting in the wicker chair he picked off the side of the road, dress shirt untucked under his sweater, cuff buttons undone. One arm resting on a knee and the other holding the cigarette. He has a silent, contemplative expression, eyes glazed over in thought, flickering over Joseph’s thighs. Ah, he knows where this is going, he thinks, when Hatori, eyes still glossy with thought, reaches for him with one hand.
It’s the wrong hand.
Joseph watches, he doesn’t move - his brain stops at the sight of the cigarette in Hatori’s thin fingers, end still smoking. It turns, and settles itself with slight force against the material of his trousers, cherry first.
It’s hot. It burns. It hurts.
And yet it happens in slow motion, the cigarette butt resting on the skin of his thigh, Joseph thinking without acting, and Hatori acting without thinking.
Then he comes to his senses and jerks his hand away. The cigarette leaves an ash-ringed hole in Joseph’s jeans, encircling red skin that will surely develop into a blister come tomorrow morning. Joseph puts a hand over it and stares at Hatori, who only looks up, stunned, with a slight fluster.
“I,” he holds the weapon in his hands. “I’m sorry. I just wanted to see…”
“Don’t do that again.” Joseph’s voice startles himself - flavors of force and offense, with a light undertone of fear.
“I won’t.”
“You owe me a pair of pants.”
“I do.”
He flicks the cigarette into an ashtray, and they resume gazing out into the skyline.

TMA Encore #14a
Tumblr media
The earth is crushingly heavy. Jon has no room to expand his lungs, nor any air to breathe. His lungs are on fire. He could try to struggle his way out. A knowing voice in the back of his mind tells him that there is a way out. But the voice also says that every movement he makes presses on someone else trapped nearby in the trench of soil. The thought of squeezing the life out of them to grant him a feeling of agency makes him sick. It could be someone he cares about. Someone who doesn’t deserve it. Tense brittle bodies press on him between layers of dirt as he sinks further and further. He keeps his eyes screwed shut as grit creeps through his nose and ears.
The sand slides off of part of his elbow, and his skin prickles in open air. His heart quickens. It could be an escape, or at least a pocket of air. Should he move? Can he risk it? He seriously considers, but too late. His arm is quickly entrenched again.
His blood pressure builds, pressing on his throat.  A strained grunt escapes him. The sand around him is shifting, pressing harder. He pulls a little tighter, but the pressure prods at his arm. Something cold grabs him and pulls. He resists, but the force is overwhelming.
The next thing he knows, he’s on the ground, staring up into a pale familiar face. It looks like Martin–if Martin had been left out in the cold. His colorless skin doesn’t move an inch, staring down with featureless scrutiny. There’s almost something hostile in it.
Jon tears his arm out of the hand that still holds it and scrambles to his feet. He brushes off the dirt and lets himself stabilize, sizing up his rescuer. This Martin mirrors his gaze. Then, the Martin steps back and walks away. Jon says nothing. His throat is too dry, anyway. He takes in his surroundings.
He’s standing on a piece of flooring beside what used to be part of the prison exterior. Martin just pulled him out through a window. The sand shifts down solidly as if the window weren’t there. The area around him is dark and hazy like a humid cave. Dingy light trickles in through the ceiling high above and quickly diffuses. It’s hard to see beyond the assembled chunks of stone that clutter his immediate eyeline.
Jon follows cautiously behind Martin to a patch of amber light over mesh wire–only because Martin proves that it’s sturdy enough to stand on. Jon swallows and starts to ask a question when Martin shushes him. He looks upward. So does Jon, reluctantly.
A shaft above them looks like it was burrowed out through layers of wreckage. Something long, black, and spindly blots out the light for a moment, accompanied by echoes of screeching metal. Bits of rock rain down around them.
Martin heads off in the opposite direction as the creature above them. Jon follows. This Martin doesn’t seem as intimidating as he first thought. Mostly just tired and fidgety. Still, he doesn’t follow too close. He tries to get Martin’s attention, to ask him questions only the real Martin would know. The man only returns a quick glance back at Jon before continuing.
The atmosphere finally lightens, revealing a room filled with fog. Ghosts of bulky forms and tilting pillars pass on either side of them. A far away clamor overhead gets Jon’s attention. Martin stops as it grows closer.
Be ready to run, Jon tells himself wearily.
The scraping of metal hinges and breaking of heavy objects compete to be heard over a monstrous voice that shakes Jon to his core. Another voice answers, but he can’t understand it past the prevailing sound of tumbling boulders and spokes. Jon throws himself back as they arrive from out of the haze above them and break cleanly through the mesh into the void below. Martin makes no adjustment to his position, his head turned skyward to face the falling debris.  
Jon sees an iron rod the width of his thumb bury itself in the front of Martin’s shoulder. Martin stifles a yelp and manages to stay on his feet. He wraps a hand around it and removes it. The bar clatters loudly on the mesh. Only then does he turn to Jon, who is sat down, stupefied. Open confusion crosses Martin’s face.
Martin: Jon? You’re alive?
He asks as if seeing him for the first time. Jon’s jaw moves somewhat, unable to make words. Martin awkwardly slaps a hand over the wound in his shoulder.
Martin: Don’t freak out! Don’t freak out! I can explain.
The detached demeanor is gone so fast that Jon can’t help feeling a little slapped. He snaps up and charges over.
Jon: Martin, what the hell?!
Martin: It’s not as bad as it looks, I promise.
Jon ignores him and tears his cold hand away to see the puncture. To his utter surprise, he finds nothing there. Not even a blood stain.
Martin sheepishly explains his method of subverting the Fears’ influence in their new domain. As long as he’s not afraid, he can’t really be harmed. Jon doesn’t like to think that’s right, remembering the cuts on his arms that aren’t there anymore.
Jon: That’s insane.
Martin: Yeah, but it’s working.
Jon pushes his hair back. He does his best to express his bafflement and exhaustion, but he looks nothing but relieved. Martin stifles a smile.
Martin: Uh, actually, could you do me a huge favor? I think there’s one in my back.
Jon turns Martin around and sees another rod sticking out. He cringes.
Jon: Oh, god.
He shuts his eyes and pulls. It hits the floor with another loud clang.

The hellscape is silent and eerie. Everything feels far away, leaving Jon and Martin to talk quietly to each other as the area around them grades from mangled prison to mangled tunnels.
Jon recounts his ordeal being chased by the voices of their friends in the concrete forest. The coercion of the whole exercise is obvious upon retelling. He apologizes for being suspicious of Martin all the same. Martin listens solemnly and accepts. He, himself, had chosen to be cagey earlier rather than risk giving Not-Jon any information he didn’t already have.
Jon: You thought I was a spy?
Martin: Kind of.
Martin tells Jon about the fake death snare in the entry area. It’s sickening to hear, yet Jon finds himself hanging on every word. He stops himself from asking for details, not trusting the desire.
Jon: You said you haven’t seen either of them since?
Martin: I looked for a long, long time. There’s just no sign at all.
Jon sighs worriedly.
Martin: I’m starting to think it’s that way on purpose. I tried to go back the way I came, but the arrangement of this place is nonsense. When you just popped out in front of me as I was exploring, I found it… suspect.
Jon nods.
Martin: I’ve mostly been trying to get the lay of the land and track Not-Jon’s movements. It’s weird. It doesn’t seem like he’s actually all that focused on us. As long as I’m steadfast, everything mostly leaves me alone. It’s--I dunno--reactionary. Like he’s just leaving the place on autopilot while he does other things.
Jon: He sought me out.
Martin: Well, he doesn’t like you.
Jon: True.
Martin: When he’s not trying to get away from Not-Martin, he goes somewhere up in the very top. Like there’s something he wants. I mean, I don’t have a full picture of what the apocalypse is supposed to look like, but doesn’t this all feel shaky? Small-scale, y’know?
Jon: I suppose.
Martin: Based on the arguing I’ve overheard, I think he’s stuck in his own domain. The rest of the world is out there, and he’s trying to dig his way out. That’s why the walls keep shifting down.
A thought immediately stirs in Jon’s mind. Something about the tunnels collapsing. It struggles to form fully, but it compels him to agree with Martin.
Jon: It might explain why he’s not after either of us at the moment. Kind of a poor omniscient, if you ask me. Unless he’s still planning something.
Martin and Jon decide that if they can’t find Tim and Sasha, they’ll have to free them from the hellscape before anything happens to them. Martin has observed that Not-Martin can’t get Not-Jon to stop, only distract him temporarily. He summarizes the conversation he had with him before–about how their mortality functions and the possibility that Not-Jon is going to have to die. Jon is magnetized to the idea. He replies that Not-Jon might actually be vulnerable by that logic. He could see into the creature somewhat as it stared into him.
It was scared. Really scared.
Not-Jon has been deeply shaken by his transformation. He feels like he’s losing all control as everything spirals back to the outcome he was trying to avoid. He knows he’s on the cusp of leaving Not-Martin with all the hunger because he’s already so weak. However, he refuses to give up on salvaging the situation. He can’t be stopped, but he could be killed.
Martin concedes. It doesn’t sound like a guarantee, but it’s better than what they had before. Neither of them are reluctant to put Not-Jon out of his misery at this point. They’ll have to figure out what to do about Not-Martin, though.
Their surroundings grow narrower and clearer as they reach pathways leading upward.
~
Sasha: Think you can make it?
Tim: I think I’d be better off growing an extra foot first, but I’ll give it a try.
Tim takes a step back, sprints, and clambers up a plaster wall nearly twice his size. He scrubs his hands against the floor of the next story up and pulls himself over the lip. Sasha jumps to clasp his hand, and he pulls her up to join him.
Tim and Sasha are deep inside the interior of the island. They had lost all concept of direction hours ago. After fighting, fleeing, and clawing their way through gauntlet after gauntlet, they’ve made it to a region where their nightmare encounters are further apart. They take the chance to rest before restarting their search for their Jon and Martin. They need it. Both of them are ragged.
They pause among the shattered halls of the Institute.
Tim: You think he needs a lot of oil for all those arms?
Sasha: I’m sure he does, and I’m sure he’s not using any. My ears are still ringing.
They chuckle.
They had encountered their grotesque warden some time ago. Even now, miles deep in the folds of the enigma, he follows them in spirit. Might as well laugh at it, however difficult. Tim’s idea.
It’s a nice distraction. Neither of them dare think about what comes next. The onslaught of terror had forced them to measure their survival in moments. Looking back at all those moments strung together to bring them this far is elating. But they can’t look ahead. Can’t wonder where all this could possibly lead until they find the boys. It just isn’t practical. Sasha’s idea.
They’re shoved back to their feet before long by the sagging of the ground underneath them. The path ahead continues to sag as it branches upward. Tim and Sasha are hurried to stay ahead of it, having to make their decisions on instinct. Left. Right. Left. Left. The middle one. Right. Left. The warped hallway degrades to exposed wood to paper to a tight ventricle of pulp.
Tim feels his feet lose traction. He careens forward, propelled by Sasha’s body. They jam together in the limp paper tube as the path behind them fully tears away. A thundering mass of paper, then wood, then stone and brick fall inches from the soles of their shoes. The two of them are dumped out as the dust settles.
They don’t go far, landing hard on the pile of brick. The fallen path has exposed their trajectory: a long winding branching track strung back and forth across a deep red cavern. The entire thing, every step since they began their journey, has torn out of its fastenings and now slips down into the gloom. Sasha can only tear her eyes away when she feels Tim nudging her.
The mess of bricks had the fortune to spill out onto an outcropping in a wall that looks like someone made chewed meat out of a building. The paper shaft ahead of them continues, and there are several narrow ridges they could take down to other platforms. But they instead become fixated on part of the wall that came down with the tunnel. It left a craggy cone-shaped hole behind.
As they approach, they can smell fresh air. A twinkle of sunlight peeks in the distance between more layers of rubble. Tim and Sasha instantly dig at the brick and stone. The hole widens marginally. Sediment and iron mix with the fresh air. Just as the hole widens enough to crawl into, the ground under their feet suddenly comes away, as if yanked.
They fall for what feels like years.
Sasha wakes up and finds herself staring ruefully from the bottom of yet another hill. The foulness in the air she had all but forgotten pours heavily in her lungs. Everything hurts, but not as badly as before. She works her way to her feet. Turning, she sees Tim sitting nearby at the edge of the peninsula that apparently caught them in their descent. He’s facing away from her, his shoulders hunched tiredly.
Sasha: Well. That sucked. I guess we’ll get started again.
Tim: We can’t.
She swallows her despair so as not to lose her nerve.
Sasha: We’ve done it once. We can do it twice.
Tim: Sasha, come look at this.
Sasha wills her legs to show her what’s beyond the edge of the cliff.
Tim is staring into an acre-wide pit filled with bodies. Their bodies. Many are broken and torn in obvious ways. The injuries are precisely consistent with their journey so far. He points to a pair among those in the most recent layer. They have bloody fingers.
Sasha is repelled.
Sasha: It’s just a scare. It doesn’t mean anything.
Tim: How’d we survive that fall, Sasha?
Sasha: Come on. The Things upstairs wouldn’t want us dead. We can’t give them anything that way.
He looks at her with urgency, letting the thought he’d been sitting with propel to the surface.
Tim: They’re hardly getting anything from us at all. They want the whole planet. If they kill us and make us into their ghosts, they can send us out to do their dirty work.
Sasha: That’s what Not-Jon is for.
Tim: Maybe he’s not doing it fast enough for them. He may be screwed up like them, but he hates them. He wants to do the right thing, so he tries to stop them from using us. He threw everything at us he could to keep us from getting out, and then showed us the landfill of failed tries when we found a way around him.
Sasha: Or to just stop us from escaping. We almost had it!
Tim: We weren’t supposed to escape! We were supposed to be looking for Jon and Martin! That was the plan, no distractions, right? And it was working. But we couldn’t help ourselves when we saw that opening, could we?
Sasha hesitates.
She can’t deny that he has a point. This isn’t the first time they’ve fallen for a false exit–they should know better. She retraces their route through the paper tunnel. The odds that they wound up at the one part attached to the wall seem uncomfortably slim. More memories surface. Drowning. Crushing. Burning. She had pushed them away before as intrusive thoughts brought on by close calls. She isn’t sure now. How many times, indeed, should they have died by this point?
She desperately wants to argue with him. She wants to prove that she hasn’t already been replaced. The more she searches, the foggier it gets. Tim reads her face.
Tim: I’m not sure, either. But if we’ve come this far to keep them from having their way, we can’t risk it.
Sasha: We shouldn’t even go after Jon and Martin, should we?
Tim frowns.
Sasha buckles to her knees. She and Tim sit in silence.
With nothing else to draw his attention, Tim notices a variance in the color of the ruddy ground. Something plasticky is wedged in the crags just under the cliff. One of the crappy old handheld tape players from the supply closet. He reaches for it, careful not to fall in with the rest of the dolls. It’s heavy. Through the clear plastic window on the front, he finds that it has a cracked cassette inside.
~
Martin and Jon come to an intersection of paths in the wet grey stone that surrounds them. Things are closer and clearer than they have been in a while. Unsettling noise comes from each option, a promise of danger. Martin takes a breath.
Martin: *rhetorically* Any preference?
Jon: *definitively* Second from the right.
Martin looks at him with wider eyes. Jon had told Martin about the glimpses he’d been getting from the Eye, but this is the first time it had done anything but make both of them more nervous.
Martin: You can see where he is?
Jon nods shortly.
Jon: Both of them. They move around, but they’ve been over this way for a while. This is the best way through. Our other options here are… nasty.
Martin considers. Avoiding the nasty stuff kind of defeats his immunity, but he supposes that Jon wouldn’t make it alive. He accepts, and they move on.
They approach the sound of rushing water again. The hollow ends at a T-junction with a giant water pipe. Fluid spews down into a hole that’s been punched into the rock. There are speckles of erosion everywhere.
Jon picks up a long piece of stone from a place where the wall is cracked. He holds it out to the current, and the rock forcefully melts. They both step back.
Jon: I didn’t realize. We should turn around.
Martin: Is there another way through that won’t kill us?
Jon: … No. We can look for something further back.
Martin doesn’t move.
Jon: Martin.
Martin: Well... I was hoping it wouldn’t be this way. Should have known better.
Jon: No. We’re not going in there.
Martin: Jon, we both knew we might not be getting out of this alive. You said yourself that was on the bill from the start.
Jon: I lied! I was never willing to let any of you get hurt. Me? Maybe. But not like this.
Martin. That was before. We’re on Their rules now. Our mortality’s a handicap. And death is-- Well, we... we could use it if we’re not afraid of it, and it’s just about all we’ve got left.
Martin exhales, having successfully dragged himself through the sentence.
Jon: You should be afraid. Not-Martin might act like he’s on the side of reason, but there’s clearly as much wrong with him as the other me. Think about what this could do to you!
The anxiety Martin had been pushing down since the talk in the security chamber boils high in his chest. It isn’t the anger in Jon’s voice that disheartens him but the genuine concern in his face. He is suddenly overwhelmed with a desire to listen. He doesn’t want any of this. He wants someone to tell him it’s okay to stop.
Tumblr media
Jon waits, trying to appear resolute.
Martin’s face loses its softness.
Martin: We have to accept it, Jon.
Jon gives in to impulse and decides for him. He takes Martin by the hand and pulls him back the way they came. Martin’s ice cold fingers numb his own.
He refuses to let this get any worse. He searches through the Eye for Tim and Sasha, but it still won’t show him. He tries harder, despite the prickling discomfort. It takes him a minute to realize that his deadened hand is clutching nothing.
Martin isn’t behind him. He’s nowhere that the Eye can see, in all the cavities in the stone around the one Jon is standing in. Jon stares into the rushing acid. 
Could he survive if he jumped? If he mustered the detachment that Martin talked about, maybe he could catch up to him. Save him from whatever he’s about to try to do alone. But he can’t. He knows he can’t. His skin burns. Anger, guilt, and powerlessness rush through him. All he can do is go back and be reabsorbed by the hellscape.
A drop hits his neck with a sizzle. He quickly wipes it away. Another one plinks down on his arm from the eroded stone roof before he can put it down. To Jon’s surprise, the liquid isn’t eating through his skin. It’s evaporating, leaving his skin untouched. It’s so cold here, he hadn’t discerned his temperature growing exceedingly hot. Desolately hot.
The Eye made sense, but not this. He could have been marked–at most–by the door knob, if that even counts here. He shouldn’t be able to use it. It doesn’t work like this. What did he do wrong?
Jon approaches the wall of the passage. He extends a hand, and the cement recedes at the command of the Buried. Jon looks dejectedly at his palm. He can still feel the burning. The grit and filth in his pores. The wind whistling in his ears. The cuts all over. The mortifying terror or being hunted and loathed. He rubs his eyes as a white-hot streak of fire walks across his face.
He has to keep going. Or it will all have been for nothing.
Jon opens a way for himself and steps through.

So, I’ve decided on a solution to my second big problem. I’m going to finish posting the text with longer chapters and way less art. Maybe one panel per. Hope that works. Thx! :)

thinking about SEVIKA...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
minors dni. ownership / control themes, degradation, alcohol, cigarettes, burning, suggestive, dark content
thinking about casino owner! sevika and being her pretty house pet. you wore the clothes that she picks out for you herself, the accessories that she selects. sevika practically owns you and your slutty body as if you were nothing but a toy, a dog to entertain her with tricks.
sometimes, you weren't even worthy of her words. she expects you to be ready and in her private booth within mere moments, forever at her beck and call.
the outfits that she picked out for you were always lacking, making you look like nothing but a common whore, a prostitute from the poorest parts of zaun. tiny bikinis that hardly kept your pretty skin covered, leaving your delicious tits out on display for any of her customers to see. if she wanted, you would be perfectly happy to be paraded around in only nipple covers and g-string, whoring yourself out for her.
sevika had reserved a seat in her casino, a gaudy armchair that overlooked the lower floor. everyone could see her in all her glory, above them, where she belonged.
though what tended to catch the eyes of players and staff alike was the pretty doll who sat beside her, docile and obedient. she liked to see you on your knees as she kept a loose grip on your leash that attached to the collar hugging your throat, the leather in the same hand that she nursed her glass of whiskey.
the other was used to gesture for refills whenever she pleased, some well-dressed lass in a sequinned dress always eager to fix her a drink.
the booth had an aura of alcohol and smoke, two of sevika's favorite past times. every time she had a cigarette, she would use your skin as her ashtray. hell, she would even paint her initials on your tits with the ash.

The angle is not very good, but it clearly shows a 6 armed man, identified as Nicholas, pinning Edgar to the ground with a glowing metal rod in his hand. Nicholas presses it into Edgar’s shoulder through a rip in his shirt, earning a loud scream of intense agony. The other man laughs, not greater in volume than the shouts of pain, but just enough to be heard. He seems to be extremely gleeful.]
[The metal is taken off of the man's skin, and Nicholas stands, grabbing Edgar’s ankles, he returns to grab the phone, the video changes to face the floor as Nicholas speaks into the phone.]
N: Hey there, assholes! Hope you don’t mind me taking him off your hands for a bit! Thanks! Bye!
[Nicholas begins to drag Edgar away, who has started shouting at Nicholas.]
[Transcript end.]

14. Collars in the Shape of Hands
previous.
cw: burning, failed escape, inhuman whumpers
Your vision blurs, choked with the sight of Valian’s blood and flashing steel. You can’t watch this. You– 
You panic. And the world panics with you, slipping away and blurring into vague, indistinct shapes. You run, heart ripping apart your throat– you don’t think an internal organ is supposed to be there, but you brush it aside– you have to run. 
You have to get out of here. 
The ring of trees that’s a fuzzy line of green means freedom. Safety. You draw close, panic turning to exhilaration. You’re going to make it. You’re going to be safe. The thought settles comfortably inside you, all dull edges and warm fall colours. 
You never make it. 
You never had a chance. 
Keres materialises directly in front of you, coming up from the grass with the finality of a mountain. 
Fall colours fade to winter and despair. 
Grinding to a stop, you try to backpedal– you still have a chance to reach the woods. To escape this nightmare of a clearing– 
Keres tilts her head and gives you a paper-thin smile. A smile that says, “Hey, congratulations, you messed this up splendidly. Good for you for being so bold and so utterly stupid.” Really, who needs words when they can smile like that? 
Someone grabs your shoulders from behind, grip tightening with an impossible strength. No human should be able to make your bones feel like they’re about to turn into powder. 
Solis drags you back to the middle of the clearing. In a final fit of resistance, you dig your heels into the ground, leaving scratch marks in the grass. 
Solis drops you. Pieces of green grass twist between your fingers and wrap around your wrist. 
Voices echo like they're coming from the end of a very long tunnel. “You shall regret that.” 
“Helect, you should not have tried to run.” Mocking. “But, alas, that is your loss.” 
It’s Solis who hauls you back to your feet. There are flecks of Valian's blood on her face. She doesn’t let go of your collar, but twists it to the point of choking. 
Leaning in close, she whispers, “Have you ever been in so much pain, death seems like a mercy?” 
The lightning in her eyes seems like an entire flashing storm. The air contracts with suppressed energy. 
She slips into an old way of speaking. A hymn. A threat. “Prepare thyself.”
“For– for what?” 
Solis raises two of her four hands and the light catches on the dead skin. Then you realise it's not sunlight on her skin, but white flames. Her hands are on fire. 
And she smiles. “For this.” 
Terror spikes through you, filling every nerve in your body with a silent scream. You try to wrench away, fighting with the strength of a trapped animal. 
Keres grabs your wrists in a vice-like grip. With another hand, she grabs a fistful of your hair and yanks your head back. 
You stare at the sky through the tree branches and wonder if it's the last time you’ll see the sun. 
Flashing red wings. 
Cicadas buzzing.
The green of the forest. 
Don’t think about the burning--
The sound of sizzling hits you first, then the pain. 
Solis’s hands are around your throat, forming a collar of fire. 
The sunlight beats down on you as you scream. Back arched, clawing for even the slightest relief. 
The first scream is choked, strangled and half-swallowed. It rips at your throat, crawling out of your mouth and falling dead beside you. 
Just like your dignity. 
You never had a high pain tolerance. 
“Oh, be quiet,” snaps Solis, withdrawing her hands. But the burns remain. A mark that won’t heal and is unable to be hidden. 
Burns in the shape of a collar. 
Keres lets go of your wrists and you sink to the ground. Your vision blurs– worse than before. 
Unconsciousness is a mercy you would beg for. 
You slip further into the grass. 
Bare feet appear in the corner of your vision and Valian crouches next to you. Their bottom lip is shredded, blood dried to their face. They're really not much better off than you are.
There’s concern in your eyes, but it’s darkened by fear. “You should stand up for this next part,” they whisper. “Do you need help standing?” 
Nausea rises up with an unbidden horror. The agents aren’t finished?
