Bad days.—(Miguel O’hara x Blk!Fem!Reader Fluff🧸)
“Fucking hell.” You said as you entered work. You really didn’t wanna go since you weren’t too fond of the idea of being Miguel O’Hara’s “right hand man.” You didn’t even get that much sleep last night, but you’re 2 year into this. You should’ve thought about that instead of fiending over a hot, muscular vampire dude. You get to your destination and sit down in the chair next to the one and only, Miguel O’Hara.
“You’re late.” He said with a stern voice. You rolled your eyes, you were wayyy too tired to deal with his sassy ass attitude.
“What an immaculate observation.” You hissed, sarcastically. He thinks because he’s older than you he can act all tough and boss you around. Like you’d let that happen. You started typing on the computer in front of you as Miguel sighed in frustration.
“Your life you be way easier if you didn’t always talk back.” He pinched the bridge of his nose. You furrowed your eyebrows, putting on a stank face when he said that. Who the hell did he think he was talking to?
“Don’t even start that. You talk back more than everybody in the spider-verse combined, yo sassy ass.” You crossed your arms, leaning back in your chair. You watched as he turned his head towards you, that familiar nonchalant face meeting your irritated one. He hated your attitude, you hated his, it was a neutral feeling.
“How many times do I have to remind you to set your alarm, Y/n?” He sighed, his voice sounding a bit passive-aggressive. You can confirm you forgot to set your alarm, but you were pretty busy yesterday.
“I was busy, Miguel.” You snapped back. “I just had things to do before I went to sleep, you know my family always needs me to do somethin’” He raised an eyebrow, his face taking a curious expression.
“Like?” He questioned as he turned his attention to you. You knew he was gonna say that. You yawned, stretching your arms out.
“Girl, let me tell you.” He scoffed with a small smirk at your choice of words. “My uncle’s car broke down, so I had to go get him. And, guess what?!” You ranted. This was very amusing to Miguel, making his smile grow and for his to turn all his attention to you, and only you.
“What?” He said smugly. He rested his chin on his hand, which was propped up by his elbow. You were definitely enjoying the attention from the fine man in front of you, but you were still fixated on the story.
“That crackhead was all the way in CANADA. I had to drive an entire hour just to get to that old man!” You complained, rolling your eyes for what felt like the 6th time this morning. “I love that man with all my life, but I really wish someone else did that.” You huffed, fiddling with your frizzy braids. You really gotta take those bitches out. Miguel, on the other hand, was definitely enjoying himself. He looked you up & down as he listened to your story.
“Wow, such an eventful day.” He said with a snarky tone. You acted offended, putting a hand on your chest.
“That’s not the only thing that happened!” You huffed, still in a jokingly manner. He leaned in closer, crossing his arms and leaning forward so they were on his knees.
“Then tell me, Amor.” Those words sent a shiver up your spine, making your face feel warm and heart race. Your knees were almost touching his making him mighty close to you. Damn, that’s hot.
“Well.. I also had to babysit my 3 cousins, which was a nightmare.” You giggled a bit at the thought of you having to run after a 5 year old while carrying a 1 year old. You think Miguel felt your energy since his smile widened a bit. “I have a BUNCH of stories from yesterday. Just some family things.” You sighed. He put his hand on yours and looked up at you, locking eyes. All you’re seeing right now is space and opportunity. His face was closer than it should be. He wasn’t smiling anymore, but his face was still as mesmerizing as always. You swear you could almost feel his breath brush against your lips.
“You should really talk to me more, Y/n. It might not seem like it, but I enjoy your company. Though, your attitude is more than annoying, you’re a great partner in crime.” That was unexpected, but it made your heart bounce off walls like a toddler after trick-or-treating. You thought you were just like a sidekick type of thing to him, but hearing him call you his partner-in-crime, awakened an entirely different understanding. You were good at hiding facial expression, but your actions, not so much. You squeezed your thighs together and fiddled with one of the braids that always got in your face. You felt so captivated that it was nerve-racking.
“I- I really appreciate that.. Thank you, Miguel.” You smiled. You felt so delusional at that moment. You wanted to lean in, just close enough for him the hearts in your eyes. You were just about to start beating yourself up for it until you felt his cold hand on your cheek. He had that small smile that always crossed your mind 24/7. Maybe working with Miguel won’t be so bad.

1989 (Taylor’s version) songs as BL/GL Characters - Part 1
Welcome to New York - Chris and Amm (Friendzone 2)
Tumblr media
When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and girls and girls
[…] Like any great love, it keeps you guessing
Like any real love, it's ever-changing
Like any true love, it drives you crazy
But you know you wouldn't change anything, anything, anything
Blank Space - Sand and Ray (Only Friends)
Tumblr media
Saw you there and I thought "Oh, my God, look at that face, you look like my next mistake, love’s a game, wanna play?"
[…] Ain't it funny? Rumors fly and I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends, I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand, I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain
[…] 'Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far, it'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they’ll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby, and I'll write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies, I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies, you’re the King, baby, I'm your Queen
[…] Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh, no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms, I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns, keep you second guessing like “Oh, my God, who is [he]?"
I get drunk on jealousy, but you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Style - Prapai and Sky (Love in the air)
Tumblr media
And I should just tell you to leave 'cause I
Know exactly where it leads, but I
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
[…] Just take me home
Out of the woods - Akk and Ayan (The Eclipse)
Tumblr media
When you started crying, baby, I did too
But when the sun came up, I was looking at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat?
I walked out, I said "I'm setting you free"
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the sun came up you were looking at me
[…] Are we out of the woods yet?
All you had to do was stay - Kim and Chay (Kinnporsche the series)
Tumblr media
Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made
People like you always want back the love they pushed aside
But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye
Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?
I wish you would - Nim and Mollie (The Warp Effect)
Tumblr media
I wish you would come back
Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did
I wish you knew that I’d never forget you as long as I'd live
And I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good, I wish you would
I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
Wish you knew that I miss you too much to be mad anymore
Bad blood - Todd and Black (Not me)
Tumblr media
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
[…] So take a look what you've done
Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times, you and I
[…] Now we've got problems and I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
Wildest Dreams - Tharn and Phaya (The Sign)
Tumblr media
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
How you get the girl - Mon and Sam (Gap the series)
Tumblr media
Say it's been a long six months
And you were too afraid to tell her what you want […]
And then you say, I want you for worse or for better
I would wait for ever and ever
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
I would wait for ever and ever
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl
This Love - Pat and Pran (Bad Buddy)
Tumblr media
Your kiss, my cheek
I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost
I fell to my knees
When you're young, you just run
But you come back to what you need
This love is good
This love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead
These hands had to let it go free, and
This love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark

Things That Happened the Day my Family Went to the Drive-In on June 4th 1982 to see The Wrath of Khan Open:
Tumblr media
This is hands down one of my all time favorite family Trek-related stories that I've now heard many times.
It is bonkers, so in-character with how chaotic my family is, and I think Trekkies will appreciate it.
This tale was told to me first by mom and dad when we re-watched Wrath of Khan together.
They went to see it in their car at a drive-in theater in 1982 (two of us sisters had not been born at this point so it was mom, dad, my two sisters (10 and 2 at the time) and my sister's best friend.
Tumblr media
- Mom was frantic that day and YELLING that they were going to be late. According to dad, she was freaking out over the new Star Trek movie and how it would sell out fast; you couldn't buy the tickets in advance. She was losing her beak trying to herd the children to get there early.
-They were literally the first ones there. They were early even, and "your mother was just freakin' out about Spock again", as dad so often said. (Aren't we all?)
Tumblr media
-Dad was waiting to go through the entrance gate with the car at the kiosk for a while. It had the barrier gate that would raise and let people through 1 car at a time.
-They weren't letting people through as it was still early. Dad was notoriously cheap, so he turned the car off to save gas as people lined up behind them. They got snacks and the line was huge by the time they returned.
-When the time came to start letting people through, inexplicably, they could not find the keys to start the car.
I repeat.
They could not. Find. The keys. 🔑
-They were parked at the front of the line of the only entrance, and nobody could get around them. On the opening of The Wrath of Khan with a line of eager Trekkies waiting behind them. People who'd waited 2 years and 6 months since TMP dropped for this.
And my family lost the f**king keys and blocked the entrance.
Tumblr media
-My whole family had to jump out of the vehicle and tear the thing apart like an impromptu drug bust while simultaneously trying to wrangle my toddler sister.
-Furious, frustrated Trekkies blew their horns and yelled "COME ON!"-"WHAT'S THE HOLD UP!"-"IT'S STARTING!" Because my family was going to make them late for THE DEBUT OF THE WRATH OF KHAN. Social anxiety nightmare, anyone?
-Shenanigans🤡
Stress🥴🤯
-My mother reported feelings of "being so mortified that I wished I was dead."☠ A soul leaving body kind of horror.
-My 10 year old sister's best friend finally found them.
-The keys had somehow fallen and wedged into the tiny space between the seat and the console. Oh my f**king God.
Tumblr media
-The lineup started cheering, clapping and whooping when my absolutely shamed family got back in the car, got the damn thing started, and finally got the line rolling for The Wrath of (i)Khan(ic).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-Once everybody got their spots, most folks got out and sat on a blanket or the hood of the car because it was summer.
-An entire row of Hell's Angels bikers pulled up right in front of my family's car and my dad was like: "Perfect. What else." *sarcasm*
Tumblr media
-Turns out those bikers were Trekkies who meant business when they turned up. They were very respectful.
-At the end when (40 year old spoiler alert) Spock was dying, the crowd was apparently bawling, including the Hell's Angels.
Tumblr media
-My favourite part of the story: Mom said that she noticed while everyone was crying about Kirk and Spock talking through the divider and the death scene, she saw some of the bikers using their beards to dab away their tears as they cried.
I feel like that moment is too good not to honour as a comic or something in the future.
Anyway, that's mom and dad's official account of going to the drive-in on June 4th, 1982 to see The Wrath of Khan when it opened:
-How my family got there first and early, only to almost ruin it for everyone.
-Also, unexpectedly tender bikers cried into their beards over Kirk and Spock.
-My mother was "just freakin' out about Spock again" in 1982, according to dad, and she still is. That is all.

What I'm Watching 2023: February
And here we go... I hit the image limit this month! 😅
The Neverending Story
Tumblr media
This movie traumatized me back when Disney Channel would play it every other weekend, and it continues to do so. It was good to come back to it after too many years.
Vertical Limit
Tumblr media
I'm actually surprised I could find gifs for this, tbh, as I didn't think anyone remembered this movie. I liveblogged this one, with some commentary and observations. It was fun.
The Mountain Between Us
Different enough from the book to keep it feeling fresh, though it felt like something was missing. Don't get me wrong, it's good, it's just that so much of the book was internal, and that doesn't translate well to screen.
Along Came Polly
Another rewatch. Nice to know this one still makes me laugh.
Wolf Creek
Tumblr media
Hoo boy, this was something else. It owes a lot to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and it was most certainly made in the mid 2000's, right at the start of the torture porn era of horror. Not to say it's terribly gory, just that it's graphic and very, VERY mean-spirited. A tough watch, but I'd watch it again before, say, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Scream 2
Tumblr media
A near perfect sequel, if you ask me. I'm planning on ranting about the franchise in general once I'm finished with it, so that's all I'm saying for now.
The Lost Boys
Tumblr media
Yep, rewatch. At this point, it doesn't take much before I'm waxing poetic about allegories and how this is a tragedy in disguise as a coming of age story, and I'm probably going to have a look at the sequels, so expect more about this later.
Evil Dead (2013)
Tumblr media
HOLY FORKING SHIRT BALLS, THIS IS AWESOME. At first, I wasn't too sure I wanted to give this a shot, since remakes generally suck and I wasn't too keen on the level of gore I'd heard about. Thank the Dead Meat channel on YouTube for finally talking me into this, because this was one of the most fun viewing experiences I've had in a hot minute. Again, expect a franchise rant!
Scream 3
Tumblr media
Can't poor Sidney catch a break?
The Princess Bride
Tumblr media
Everybody knows this movie, and if they don't, they should. This is the greatest movie ever made, and I will hear no arguments to the contrary.
It (2017)
HELL FUCKIN YEAH, I ACTUALLY WATCHED IT, AND I'M STILL MAD ABOUT HOW MUCH I LIKED IT! AND I'M PROBABLY GOING TO WATCH IT AGAIN SOMETIME!
Scream 4
Tumblr media
What am I going to do with myself when I'm caught up with this franchise?
The Black Phone
Tumblr media
Second time around, and I made Sis watch with me. (This would actually make a really good double feature with It Chapter One, tbh...) Solid all around, and I've enjoyed Scott Derrickson's work before, but Finney and Gwen are easily the strongest elements of the movie. I'd take bullets for these kids.
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
By happy accident, I finally stumbled across the extended version! Which means I got a whole extra hour to cry about everything!
The Evil Dead
I'll save most of my thoughts for a franchise rant, but I'm fairly certain this one is somewhere on my top ten horror list.
And because I can't help myself, our rewatch rewatches this month are:
Labyrinth
The Shining
A Nightmare On Elm Street
###
Now, maybe I'll get around to The Last Of Us sometime in March...

Top 10 tropes/cliches/trends that I'm sick and tired of!
In no particular order.
1. Get down!
Someone screams ''Get down!'' or ''Look out!'' but not everybody gets down. Most of the time it's fine. The characters don't have enough time to react and get hit with an attack or whatnot. What I am actually mad about is when characters have quite a lot of time to get out of the way and they're not distracted by anything yet just choose to just stand there and do nothing.
That also applies to whoever is screaming for them to watch out. You see your friend is in danger, you have an ability that can be useful, do something!
But the most infuriating iteration of that cliche is when they say a character's name before whatever they are screaming and it somehow makes anybody else unable to hear what they're talking about.
''Bob, the train is coming!''
‘’My name is Eric, not Bob. I guess I'll just stand on the track and not even acknowledge what I've heard.’’
Extra salt to the wound when the character can totally see what is coming or at least they should but the animators couldn't be bothered to keep track of who and what is where in relation to each other.
Tumblr media
2. Meta
I fucking LOATHE this new trend where they make self referential humor to mock the earnestness of the old stories.
Can’t they just let us get immersed in the universe without having those “We know it’s cliché *wink wink*” Especially when they do nothing to deconstruct it, show it in a new light, have an interesting spin on it, nothing. They just point it out like in CinemaSins! And it's especially annoying when they're ''breaking the stereotypes'' which have been broken years ago.
‘’She's not like other girls/princesses! She fights, speaks her mind, and doesn't want to get married to someone she doesn't love at all.’‘
Wow, you broke new ground. It's not like princesses in the 90s were already independent, princes Leia was a badass in the 70s, and even the older princesses, Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, get way too much hate. Go subvert the cliche which hasn't been used in years and replace it with this other cliche. There are adults and children today who haven't seen a legitimate, 100% helpless, damsel in distress. Seriously, at this point, I would've been more shocked if there was an actual romance in a Disney princess movie.
And they act so smug about it too. Do you want to talk about unwanted marriage? How about you talk about child brides right now? Because that would be actually controversial in those countries!
Just make a movie about a badass princess, nobody cares!
Tumblr media
3. Squidward like character
Do you remember how in the bad episodes of Spongebob, Squidward would be just minding his own business, not harming anyone and then Patrick and Spongebob would just barge in and mess everything up. Squidward would straight up say that he wants them to leave but those two numskulls couldn't take a hint. The episode just ends with no consequence whatsoever for the people who made an innocent person's day a living nightmare.
This used to be everywhere! Seemingly every cartoon channel would at least have one cartoon like that if not more.
I guess the idea is that the children are supposed to relate to the annoying obnoxious little brats energetic and innocent little angels who just want to have fun with their parent/older sibling friend but he's being boring and doesn't know how to have fun.
How did the meme go? The older you get the more you relate to Squidward.
Tumblr media
4. Why are you surprised by this?
Don't you just hate when a character doesn't know something that should've been common knowledge?
Ash not knowing pokemon can only say their own name, not knowing what contests are or whatever the gimmick for the season/game is.
People not knowing what mutants are or where to go when they find out they're a mutant.
I know shows and movies need to explain their lore and world building but can't you find a better way than creating that one moron character who asks all the basic questions and gets lectured and info dumped on. At least make them like Tarzan, raised in the jungle not knowing anything else about the world.
Tumblr media
5. Super-let-down
When you have a team of superheroes one, if not the most, important and interesting part is their relationship and dynamic. Who's the parent of the team, who's the heart, who's the jokester? How do their superpowers mix, who needs to be careful to not hurt who, what combo moves they can pull off, how they cover each other weaknesses?
Wouldn't it be cool to see super villains do something like that? Guess what? They just argue all the time and when they fight they just get in each other's way. It's especially frustrating when they stop attacking the hero to fight each other. Even more so when the hero is egging them on by saying something along the lines ''Shouldn't you be the leader?'', ''Who's going to be the one to finish me off?'' or ''Are you going to let them treat you like that?'' It makes the villains look like complete idiots with the mentality of a kindergartner.
What a waste of a potentially great team!
Sinister six from the Spectacular Spider-Man is the closest to the satisfying villain team. Wish they had more screen time! They had great chemistry and their banter went above throwing insults at each other.
Tumblr media
6. Too many supers in New York City
Since the MCU became big average people started to wonder, if all those superheroes exist in the same universe, then where were they when -insert huge event from a solo hero movie here- was going on.
At least DC has an excuse that pretty much every superhero has their own city to take care of.
It's especially outrages when you have the avengers, fantastic four, spider-man, and probably many others I can't remember right now leaving in the same city. What's also funny is when they meet and act as if they never heard of each other.
Tumblr media
7. Stop with all the food!
Recently a lot of Disney movies and shows will have excessively long scenes of food making and I don't know why.
I know that movies that want to showcase some culture focus on the food too because it's part of the culture but come on. I don't want a tutorial on how to cook, put it on a DVD. Animators just want to flex how great they are at animating food, just like anime.
I know it's a weird thing to get hung up on but in a movie, every minute counts and the movie just wasted 1-5 minutes on food porn. Just put the food in the background, make it last a couple of seconds, or be part of the story.
Tumblr media
8. Characters look never changes
I know characters always having the same clothes saves time and budget. Animators even make jokes/try to justify it by showing multiple versions of the same outfit.
It gets confusing when supposedly years have passed yet everybody looks the same. That's why I appreciate HTTYD. They let their characters grow up.
Tumblr media
9.Did you switch bodies or voices?
I know that you want people to be able to tell who is in who’s body but vocal cords aka voice are part of the body and should stay in the body they belong to.
Change characters' posture, body language, way of speaking, etc.
But please don't change the eyes. It somehow makes even less sense and looks creepy.
Tumblr media
10. Fight-cut-Scene
Do you ever see those fights when characters talk for a bit, throw a punch or kick, stop to talk some more, and again and again? Looking at you CW! Also, a massive amount of cutting to hide that the actors don't know how to fight and imitate speed. You know you can just show people being fast, right? Just because something or someone is out of the frame doesn't mean they stopped existing.

F - Share a snippet from one of your favourite dialogue scenes you've written and explain why you're proud of it.
!!!! This is Very Old, but i’ve been pretty pleased with it because *checks notes* Gus. and Ghost AU :3 Also several bits that actually tie into other bits of the overall story. Tone stuff, too. And the fact that i had a lot of fun with it.
~
At first, Gus isn’t surprised to open his eyes at- he glances at the clock, then back again -2:37 in the morning to find his best friend staring down at him. Not like it’s never happened before. It’s why his first instinct is to scowl instead of scream like a little girl.
Then he remembers, and he’s scrambling to sit up.
“Shawn-?” he sputters, “How did you- I thought- Wait a damn minute. I’m dreaming.”
The other’s face is a kaleidoscope. Or some kind of weird mirror. Watching Shawn jump a little, shifty-eyed like he’s been caught, then give that half-smile only to to fall back into a cautious frown, Gus is almost tempted to say something like ‘stop copying me’
Instead, he says, “I am dreaming, right?”
“I’m-” Shawn’s mouth opens, then closes.
Gus frowns. “Because I know you wouldn’t really ghost me for two months, let me think you got brutally murdered, then just show up in my room at two-thirty-seven in the morning like we’ve got a case or something.”
Dream!Shawn cringes a little. “Nah, Gus,” he softens, uncharacteristically wistful, voice almost a whisper, “I wouldn’t do that to you.” Then he looks thoughtful. “Well, technically-”
“-Shawn,” Gus deadpans, “I am not trying to do this with you right now. It is two-forty in the morning, and I have a long day ahead of me.” he nods, decisive, eyes determinedly shut. “You’re a figment of my imagination. Probably my brain’s way of helping me cope with the trauma. And I appreciate that, but I’d rather stick to crying on my lunchbreak if you don’t mind. Now-”
“-The trauma? You’re traumatized?” 
Gus opens one eye. “You would know, being part of my subconscious and all. Hell yes, I am traumatized. Everybody was. You know that.”
There’s an awkward silence as Gus closes his eyes again, then he adds, “I’m glad you’re looking like yourself again.”
“Who else have I looked like?" Dream!Shawn sounds curious, if kind of...flat. Distracted, maybe. “Someone ridiculously cool and handsome, obviously, but-”
Gus shrugs into his pillows. “I assumed you’d know all about the nightmare versions of this. You know I couldn’t stop dreaming about you in that hospital bed, or-”
“You know what? Don’t think about that,” Dream!Shawn interrupts. He’s covered in bandages. He sighs and runs a hand through hair that’s way darker than it should be.  “I’m serious.”
“Sorry,” Gus mumbles, and ten minutes later the bandages are gone. Dream!Shawn looks just like he did the last time he bounced out of the office. Just ... less excited. More nervous. Weird.
In fact, dream!Shawn is pacing. Wringing his hands together. 
It’s three-thirteen in the morning when Gus gives up and sighs. This might be better than the nightmares, but it’s still creepy, and now there’s a lump in his throat way too early in the morning. He might have to call out sick; he’s definitely going to be too choked up to get through a meeting no matter how much John Legend he listens to on the way to work. Maybe he really should book an extra therapy appointment-
“Uhm, Gus? About ghosting you for two months, letting you think I got brutally murdered, and then showing up in your room at two-forty-three in the morning like I have a case or something?”
Gus opens his eyes again. 
Dream!Shawn is swimming about an inch away from his face. He’s half-apologetic, half-manic. “...I know I literally just said I wouldn’t do that to you, but two of those aren’t my fault unless you want to blame me for getting murdered. Which I think we can all agree would be pretty problematic of you, Gus.  Also, your clock is slow. So technically the only thing I’m legitimately guilty of is showing up in your room like we have a case or something, whiiiiiiiiich- - -I’m really, really so sorry, but my murder isn’t gonna solve itself, and I’m kind of limited right now, so...”
Gus stares.
Shawn stares back. Flashes a quick, wobbly grin.
“Surpriiiiise?” 
 ~
V- If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?
haha oh no i mean i’d totally be into short prequel/sequel for Peter 3 specifically in Where the Sunlight Ends (I am slap dang feral for the worldbuilding you’ve done in that fic like holy hats it’s TOO good) and also bc by a whole Reach, film adaptations could be considered fanworks of the books they’re based on, i’d write a sequel to On Drakon. bc it practically writes itself. 
R - Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?
@f-ro-g well of course you’re on the list, possum, ever since i stumbled upon your Musketeers fic back around 2014 your work has continued to amaze and inspire so just jot that down.
Also @therapardalis because oh. my god. the care and detail put into that OC. i was genuinely intimidated by Thera when i originally came to tumblr but she quickly became one of my dear favorites
and
@samayla, not just bc ur writing is incredible on its own (Utterly Impractical Magician SENDS ME) but also that time you talked about the Mrs. Mockturtle Method of essentially pretending to be someone else while writing in order to get over Fear/Embarrassment/Stagefright prior to the editing stage. Loved that.
W -Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?
BOTH???? General prompts offer a lot of maneuverability and room for interpretation which is good, like being offered a general Vibe and going “Aight, Bet.” and then Specific prompts are great bc it’s like this this and this happens which basically takes care of the meat of the situation so all the writer has to fool with is the seasoning.

cw // mentions of death, dec 18th and just normal things that happens in my dreams 😭
now if you think that dream was traumatising, wait until you hear about this-
about few months ago, i literally had to sit down in a movie theatre to watch jinki skipping around in a place filled with sweets (such as lollipops, etc), butterflies and other animals whilst him literally being BUTT NAKED with his fucking balls dangling down and loud happy music (that you would hear in a youtube video in 2012) playing in the background. everything seemed so weirdly happy until he came across a naked victoria (yes the one from f(x) - i wish i was kidding) and they started skipping together.
yes, this may sound “wholesome” now, but it gets worse-
as they were doing the patty cake with each other, some random animal creatures leaned in and ATE victoria from the head. yeah… as they were both screaming, the “happy music” started getting distorted to the point where it was getting creepier and creepier-
but it gets worse-
as jinki was running away, that weird ass creature decided instead of killing him, it just spanked his ass and then laughed. then suddenly everyone was happy and the film ended.
everything was black and i remembered that very moment i just felt so weird after what i had seen. like- i just witnessed victoria getting killed, jinki getting his ass spanked and now everybody was happy and with rainbows and sunshine in the background.
no… this wasn’t the end, and it gets worse-
when i left the theatre, the world was exactly like the film and instead of it being all happy and cheerful, everything was dead. i saw victoria’s dead body on the floor as well as jinki’s arm since when i found him screaming out of pure terror, he was missing an arm.
i literally saw the rest of shinee and f(x) and they were all dead. probably the rest of sm town was dead but i haven’t saw any of them except mark and chen. also, yes they were all naked.
(note: i wasn’t sure if i saw jonghyun or not so take this as a grain of salt)
i woke up so confused, but not surprised. you know why? i always have these weird fucked up dreams! like i want a normal weird dream and not like thisssssss
also my little sister has the same problem too. she once had a dream where she saw jonghyun waving at her so they did the run (you know so you could spin around whilst hugging) and as he was coming to her, a van literally hit him and he died. well… at least that was what she thought happened.
at the time she was only 10 and had been getting a lot of dreams like that ever since… you know- so she would start crying every time and i would had to comfort her. now if you ask her about it, she’ll probably laugh since they seemed like parodies of the show happy tree friends. also yes, there was gore so- take that as you will 😭
but yea she pretty much had a dream RIGHT after (that date) where jonghyun was about to go home and after they finished waving at each other and saying their goodbyes, jonghyun crosses the road and gets hit by a bus.
and then another one where he got ran over by 2 yellow school buses, then a train and then a bus that had shinee’s logo in it like it was their tour bus-
nah i think you get the point. runs in the family. 😌😉
I have question for the Onew in your dream world. Clearly living his best life for the most part but like is he okay. Last dream I had about Onew he was just complaining about Minho to Chanyeol. But he is apart of a whole different planet in your dreams. I want to study him. Everything else sounds absolutely terrifying, like kind of a nightmare. And as for both of you and your sister's dreams it could be that sometimes dreams is your way of processing everything that happens in the 3d or what's going on in your subconscious or just things you think about a lot. Dreams are just your brain working through all of that at night and the scary Jonghyun dreams are probably just your brain trying to process it all. But Im sure when Jonghyun gives you good warm feelings in your dreams it's him checking in once in awhile.

Event Info
WHUMPTOBER is a month-long, prompt-based creation challenge (think: Inktober, but whumpier). There are 31 Official themes this year - one for each day of the month - which can be used, skipped, or combined in any way you’d like. They are meant to serve as inspiration without being taken literally (e.g. you don't have to include the exact wording into your work). Additionally, there are 3 prompts for each theme.  These are optional suggestions and can be used in conjunction with the theme, or as options/alternatives.  We want to give everyone as much creative freedom as possible, as well as increase event accessibility for folks with triggers and squicks.
Creators can PRODUCE work in any media they choose, including but not limited to: writing, visual artwork, and photo/video/audio edits. Creators can PARTICIPATE as much or as little as they want (i.e. you don’t have to do ALL the prompts if you don’t want to) and prompts can be used in any order. They are also free to use even after the event ends.
When uploading Whumptober content to your blog, be sure to tag the with:
#whumptober2020 …..(the event tag)
#no.1, #no.2, #no.3, …..(theme number)
#bruised, #stabbed,  …..(the theme or specific prompt you chose)
#fandom or #OC
#medium …..(gifs, fic, podcast, art, etc.)
#teeth, #etc …..(trigger warnings & any additional tags. Keep in mind not to add “tw” in front but only use the word/trigger itself, because tumblr sucks)
#nsfw, #nsfwhump …..(only for nsfw content)
PLEASE BE DILIGENT WITH YOUR TAGGING. Only properly tagged posts are considered for archiving on the official @whumptober2020​ blog. They must be tagged in the order above.
Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of participants in recent years, we cannot guarantee your work will be archived. A random selection of properly tagged posts from all genres will be reblogged each day.
Whumpers who produce content for 31 total theme days are considered event completionists and will be tagged in a masterpost at the end of the month.
Questions not addressed below can be directed to this blog as well.
Thanks for reading, and happy whumping!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What kind of content can I make? Can it be NSFW?
This is a MIXED MEDIA event! You can write fic, post meta, doodle or paint, create a gif set or photo edit, link a song, or get crafty with video - anything goes. As for NSFW, make what you like, we just hope that you’ll tag your work accordingly so that others participating in the event can stay safe :)
Q. Do I have to do all 31 Days? Can I post early/late?
Participate as much or little as you like, and post whenever! Just be sure to tag your posts properly (ex. #no.11, #psych101). Combining prompts into one piece of work is okay, and posting late is as well so as long as it’s in October.
Q. What if I don’t understand a theme?
Send us an ask! We’re happy to help clarify. That said, the themes are entirely up for interpretation :)
Q. Can I combine Whumptober with other creation challenges?
Absolutely! That’s like shooting two whumpees with one bullet :)
Q. Can I upload/repost my whumptober content to other social media platforms?
Of course! We’ve created an AO3 Collection to archive any fics posted there. The archive can be accessed here. The blog is the official archive, so please respect the boundaries of any closeted whumpers in your social circle :)
Q. Can I use prompts to write a new chapter for an existing fic?
Yes
Q. An existing fic I am currently writing contains many of the Whumptober prompts, can I use it?
If you are actively writing this fic at the moment with the whumptober prompts in mind, yes. If it just conveniently checks the boxes, then please don’t. You can, however, add new chapters answering one or more of the prompts.
Q. What kind of characters can I write for?
Fandom characters, OC characters, human, furry, alien, cyborg, whoever you like.
Q. Can I use a prompt multiple times?
Yes,  but it only counts once
Q. If I’m not comfortable with one day's prompts can I use a prompt of a different day as a substitute and still be a completionist?
Yes, but please do not use a specific prompt twice. We have also created an alternate prompts list that you can draw from [here].
Q. Where can I post my work?
Post where and how you want. You don’t even have to (cross)post it to Tumblr. Just keep in mind if it’s not on Tumblr we will not be able to add it to the blog archive.
Q. Can I start posting early?
You can, but this is an October event and wouldn’t it be more fun with everyone doing it at the same time? That being said, you can post early, but we won’t be reblogging any work predating October 1st.
Q. Do I have to finish a fic I started/can I post WIP’s.?
Yes you can post WIPs. And you’re not obligated to finish it in October for it to count towards being a completionist.  
Q. Is co-writing allowed?
Yes, absolutely, and it would count towards being a completionist for both/all of you :)
Q. Do I have to create 31 standalone pieces to be considered a completionist or can I write one continuous story?
One continuous story is fine.  The challenge is to write something for 31 prompts. If that’s spread over 31 fics or just one, you are still considered a completionist. (The same goes for every other media you choose.)
Q. Is there a min/max limit on word count?
There is no limit
Q. Can I combine prompts? Is there a limit on how many?
No limit and combine as many as you’d like.
Q. Is a hc/angst focus ok?
Of course!
Q. What’s considered nsfw?
See this post
Q. What's whump?
See this post
Q. My interpretation of the prompt isn't whumpy at all, does that count?
No, sorry, but keep in mind that whump [see definition] is something very nuanced and different for everyone and emotional whump/angst is just as much part of it, as is physical whump and torture. So before you dismiss your idea, think about this.
Q. Can I start working on the prompts before October?
Absolutely! That’s why we posted the prompts a month in advance. We recognise how difficult it can be creating for 31 days in “real time”.
Q. How do I tag triggers?
tw at the end of the word, ex. emeto tw
Q. Do I have to use your tags?
Yes, if you want your work archived on the blog. If not, feel free to use whatever tags you want.  
Q. Does combining prompts count towards completion?
Yes
Q. Can we @ you?
Yes but we mostly rely on the whumptober2020 tag
Q. Is there anything we are absolutely not allowed to write?
There are no rules, just be sure to properly tag your trigger warnings. And keep in mind Tumblr’s policies if you are posting it here (or the policies of whatever site you use).
Q. Where can I go for brainstorming help?
Here on Discord
Q. My characters are minors, is that ok?
Yes, but as with everything else, tags are your best friend.
Q. Can I cross post on other blogs?
Yes, multiple platforms and blogs are perfectly acceptable. You can also post different works to different accounts under different names, without posting them everywhere at once.
Note: This is a creation challenge, please don’t repost your old work under our tags (unless it’s been changed or edited for the event).

Mi Corazon
A/N- I'm struggling right now and felt inspired to write this piece. Please know that if you or anybody you know is struggling with PTSD, Depression, or any other mental health issues, you are not alone. If you ever need to rant, feel free to DM me or rant in the "suggestions or talk" section. I can't promise I will always respond, but I will always read them. You're important and even if nobody else is, I'm proud of you, for whatever it's worth. <3
Genre- Angst to Fluff (sort of)
Character(s)- The wonderful, stunning you and Quackity
Warnings- Heavy mentions of PTSD and panic attacks, depression and anxiety, insomnia, self harm (you grab your arm a little to tight, but nothing severe), slight blood, mentions of death/loss of life (you), self-awareness (?), nightmares, mentions of explosions from L'Manberg dying of death again because of our lovely Mr. Philza Minecraft and Mr. Technoblade <3, comfort at the end
"Extras"- Please know I am not by any means trying to romanticize PTSD or just any sort of mental health issues. I struggle with them myself and tonight was particularly rough so I just started writing. Everybody deals with such things differently, this is just how I happen to "experience" my mental health "issues".
"Extras" pt. 2- GN!Reader, Romantic or Platonic, No proofreading :'3
Word Count- ~0.6k
Read the story below the cut, please.
It had been another long night of little sleep and nightmares seeping in whenever you tried to sleep. It wasn’t your fault, you and Quackity both knew that. Not that being self aware made anything any better of course, but hey, it’s something. Honestly, you didn’t know how nobody in the Casino below your shared penthouse couldn’t hear your screams. You would be checked on periodically during the night by the man you considered a close friend and you knew it hurt him just as much as you when you had those nightmares.
“Deep breaths, mi corazon.” The black haired man mumbled hoarsely, gently rubbing your back as you tried your best to stop a panic attack from ensuing. The sun had just barely started to rise and a small crevice of uncovered window from the black-out curtains filtered in through the room, causing guilt to weigh on you. He had been walking around his Casino all night, making sure things ran smoothly and was probably exhausted from the work. Knowing he just wanted to sleep after everything and instead sitting there with a sleep-deprived and PTSD-induced you caused you to panic more.
“I’m sorry! Just go to your room, I’ll be- I’ll be okay.” You practically wailed out the words, choking on your own spit right after. Coughing a bit as your lungs burned with the need for air, your hand grasped onto the nearest thing it could and took hold of it. However, you didn’t seem to realize that what you had grabbed onto was your own arm, fingers digging so deep into the scarred flesh that bits of blood began to bubble up.
No matter how hard you tried, the memories of loud bangs as L’Manburg was destroyed could never be erased from your memory. The pain you felt as you were losing consciousness as Quackity yelled your name with explosions in the background is something you are constantly reminded of in your brief times of sleep.
Shaking his head, the duck hybrid watched you with tired, but concerned eyes. At the slightest notice of blood, he gently and yet swiftly pulled away your hand. Shuffling to your bedside table, he opened one of the drawers and pulled a first aid kit out. Grabbing the needed contents from inside, he cleaned and wrapped your arm up with nimble fingers while simultaneously muttering soft words of reassurance. It was getting bad again and he knew what the harsh reality of PTSD truly felt like first hand.
By the time he had finished tending to your wound, you had pulled yourself into a ball of sorts with your knees tucked tightly against your chest. While your initial panic and breathing had subdued, your mind was now in a fuzzy yet fragile state. Eyes dulled over as you tried to just focus on the man beside you, you relished in the sudden warmth he brought to you as he effortlessly lifted you into his arms.
“We’re going to my room, alright? You don’t have to sleep, but just lay there beside me for a while.” He didn’t really leave any room for argument and quite honestly, you didn’t have the energy to give any sort of verbal response either. Nodding blankly, you half-way registered his words as you leaned into him, eyes fluttering shut. You may not have had the easiest life, but neither had he. Both of you felt safe with each other and for the time being, that was enough.

Demigod MC Series: Poseidon
Fishy fishy fishy… I honestly could write 100 more things for Poseidon MC and Levi. I just love the dynamic between an insecure, otaku shut-in and a chill California surfer dead set on becoming his friend.
Demigod MC Series: Intro, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Athena, Hades Pt. 2, Poseidon 
For anyone unaware, Poseidon is also the god of horses. I know it's a weird combo, but I didn't write the mythos.
Lucifer
…..
They came out of the portal….
On a horse….
They brought the mortal down to the Devildom…
On a goddamn horse….
There's a demigod on a live horse brandishing a weapon and doing laps around the Student Council Room…
Congratulations, he already wants to pull his hair out!!
Honestly, it would have been preferable to pluck them out of the sea. At least then they'd just need a towel! What the hell were they going to do with an entire horse!?
And his nightmare didn't stop there. Poseidon is a notoriously mercurial god, prone to bouts of anger and spitefulness for reasons far less grievous than kidnapping his children… 
Their apology was swift and (seemingly) effective, though the tide waters around the Devildom did rise by several feet for some time…
As for the MC… uh… Well, they're an energetic one to say the least…
Lucifer hasn't met a more active individual since Mammon. They horseback ride, swim, surf, skateboard, and probably do ten other things - the point is, they Hardly. Keep. Still! 
They're also annoyingly easygoing… He can't count the number of times they've told him to, "Just chill out," or, "Hang loose…" What does that even mean??
Between having to order a stable made for their horse and just trying to keep up with them, Lucifer already thinks this mortal has caused him more trouble than they're worth… At least they keep Mammon busy...
Mammon
Upon first meeting them atop their horse, Sunset, his first thought was of course:
"I wonder if I sell that...?"
After that, they nearly fed him to sharks for trying to take their beloved steed on same night. Safe to say, he never touched a hair on its head again…
These two had a rocky start, but their relationship mended fairly quickly. As it turns out, the MC is literally one of those "go with the flow" types. You can say it was water under the bridge soon enough.
Mammon actually thinks the MC is a hell of a lot of fun, even if they're super laid-back. Most of the time, they won’t take his drive for money (or fear of his bills) all that seriously and tell him that he’s worrying too much, but they’ll still lend a hand if its on their way.
He finds their ability to control water pretty cool as well. Levi has it to some extent, but the MC can make a whole-ass whirlpool or use water like a whip! 
He once begged them to call up some rare fish for him to sell, but they got all pseudo-philosophical on him about how “trading life for material wealth” is “not cool, dude...”
He also made the mistake of challenging them to a splash fight only once…. They managed to drench the whole family with a single wave….
The only thing that bothers him is their weird insistence on being Levi's "Best Buddy…" Why would someone like them even bother with a shut in??
Is it the water? … Probably water. Levi, that lucky bastard…
Leviathan 
Thinks they're a big normie, no scratch that, a HUGE normie! The biggest normie he's ever met!! They skateboard and horseback ride for Devil's sake!!
...But they’re also, undoubtedly, the best friend he could've ever asked for.
To be fair to Levi, their friendship was sort of forced upon him. The MC took one look at him, his aquatic-themed room, and his pet goldfish then declared their new friendship status at that moment. 
Unfortunately for him, though, they're energetic, extroverted, and generally have little understanding of personal space… aka, an introvert's worst nightmare…
The next month could accurately be described as the MC doing everything in their power to make their stubborn "senpai" like them.
They would drag him out to the aquarium, beach, or pool; they befriended Henry so he could put in a good word for them; and they'd even bring him little gifts or trinkets they'd find on the ocean floor. Pretty shells and stuff like a cat bringing its master a dead mouse.
After he finally began to accept them as a persistent fixture in his life, he introduced them to gaming and anime and started accepting them little by little...
By the end of their stay, these two were practically inseparable. Not just because they like spending time together, but because they figured out they could have a telepathic link due to Levi being part sea serpent. 
No matter how far they are, they can always have a chat! (That no one else can hear so people think they’re just crazy...)
Satan
Satan honestly isn't the MC's biggest fan, he generally finds them too loud and gregarious for his liking. But their horse…?
He never really thought that he'd be a horse man... Yet it didn’t really take long for Satan to adore Sunset, their beautiful golden-maned mare. Apparently she's not their only horse, but by far their favorite traveling companion.
Sunset is a wonderful horse - brave, strong, and well-trained. It only took a few weeks before he was regularly sneaking out to the stables to brush her fur or feed her apples...
After the MC taught him how to ride, that was it. All other forms of transportation were inferior to him now.
Satan would ride Sunset everywhere and he looked damn good doing it! It takes all that fairytale Prince Charming thing he has going on and puts it through the roof.
It's a good thing too, because when I say everywhere, I do mean everywhere. Lucifer had to put seals on the House doors to keep Satan from riding Sunset through the hallways...
Of course, he’ll always let the MC have Sunset back when they need her!... with a little complaining but nothing terrible.
The MC doesn't mind much because Sunset likes him and they know he takes good care of her, but the rest of the House is slightly unnerved at how quickly he went horse crazy… What if they brought a giant crab instead?? No one wants to deal with crab-Satan...
Asmodeus 
Their body is just scrumptious. Oh, how he could look at their swimsuit-clad figure all day!! 😩
Between the swimming and the fighting, their form is toned to all hell and he can't get enough of it! Yes baby, yes!! Take those clothes off again!!! He'll help~! 😘
When he's not staring at them “totally respectfully,” then he's inviting them out to pool parties or begging them to take him riding...
There are parts of horseback riding he doesn’t like, the smell and the jostling specifically, but there is a kind of… romance to it, no?
He loves having the chance to snuggle up to the MC as they trot around the Devildom! It's so romantic, like they’re his knight in shining armor! (Or his demigod in a damp swimsuit, either works. 😏)
His Devilgram is just full of selfies of him and MC riding on the back of Sunset or sitting by the edge of the pool or them in the middle of a swim meet…
Yeah his Devilgram is now a one part him and one part MC-Appreciation account.
After the pact he'll eventually cool down some and stop staring at them like a sex-object, but even then he'll be at every swim meet. Don't you worry~
Beelzebub 
He actually really likes them! It's great to finally have another athlete in the House. 😊
The MC joined the RAD swim team just as soon the coach was able to convince Diavolo that having the child of a water god wasn't completely cheating... 
Since swim and fangol practice ends at about the same time, they walk home together a lot and complain about... sports things... (Forgive me, I don’t know sports. Uhm... Rival teams? Coaches? That one drill everyone hates? Stuff like that.)
Beel also can surf, skate, and snowboard so the two have a healthy competition going. They're about on equal footing so they tie often (except in surfing but Beel doesn't think that should count cause they’re probably cheating).
The only thing that he has to watch out for is Sunset… As in, he has to watch himself around Sunset because he absolutely could eat her on accident… 
Look, he doesn't want to and he doesn't even like horse meat that much, but even he has to admit there are times he gets hungry enough to consider it…
Of course, he knows that if he ever did Satan would rip him limb from limb then the MC would drown the rest so he really, really tries to control himself… but still… She’s a very healthy horse...
At least he didn’t try to sell her like Mammon. The MC hung him over a shark tank for that stunt… He’d feel bad, but Mammon kind of had it coming.
Belphegor 
The first time they met, the MC smelled like beach water and called him "dude-bro…" He didn't like his prospects.
For a while, he genuinely thought that they had a lump of sand where their brain was. They were just too chill!! Here he was saying that he's being held captive and they were like, "Well that sucks, man… I'll help ya, but I've got practice tomorrow. You can wait, right?"
It's not like he expected them to jump on top of it, but some urgency would have been nice…
When they eventually got around to helping him, he was actually looking forward to choking the life out of them for the extra wait. Unfortunately, they apparently had a horse…
Yeah, Belphie found out just a bit too late that the MC could summon their steed to them whenever they wanted and ended up with Sunset's hooves firmly bucking into his back for his trouble…
What followed was Belphegor running circles around the attic from the weapon-totting MC riding their terrifying murder horse until Lucifer finally intervened....
Thank the gods he wasn’t near any water….
As it would turn out later, as long as he's not being held captive in an attic Belphie kind of vibes with their laid-backness… They say they approach life "one wave at a time" or something.
He could care less about what that actually means, but what it translates to is "Stop stressing out and just keep chill" which he's all about.
Everybody should just chill out!... dude…. Nah, he'll let them stick to the “dude”-thing, it feels weird...

Grian awoke to bright sunlight and warm summer air. He stretched languidly, noticing there was soft grass beneath him. Distantly, he wondered if he had fallen asleep in front of his main base. Oh well, wouldn’t be the first time. He rolled over and tried to fall back asleep. Then, with a start, he realized he couldn’t hear the sounds of parrots or goats, or any other sounds that usually filled boatem.
He opened his eyes, blearily, sitting up to look around. He was in a small field, a copse of trees off to the right and a bedrock platform embedded into the ground a few feet in front of him. An enchanter sat in the very center, but otherwise, the area was empty. Where was he? “No idea,” a familiar voice said. He glanced up to see Ren standing on the opposite side of the bedrock platform.
He whirled around and noticed that he was part of a circle of players surrounding the bedrock platform. He could see Scar, Impulse, Martyn, Jimmy, Scott, Cleo, Bdubs, Etho, Tango, Joel, BigB, and Skizz. And of course, there was him and Ren.
Scott swore under his breath. “Grian, I thought you said you shut down the server!” Grian’s brow furrowed. “What are you talking about?” Then he realized what Scott meant. Everyone here had also been on...instinctively, Grian glanced down at his wrist to check how many lives he had. “Don’t be red. Don’t be red,” he begged. Instead the skin on the inside of his wrist was blank. “We don’t have lives,” Grian said, almost stupidly. There was a scramble as everyone checked their own wrists. Theirs too were blank. No one knew whether to be relieved or scared.
“Slightly more important thing right now,” Bdubs said. “Scott’s right, Grian. You said you shut this server down. How are we back?” “I don’t know,” Grian said, frantically wracking his brain for anyway things could have gone wrong. He came up blank. “I don’t know,” he repeated. “I shut it down. Guys, I swear, I shut the server down. We shouldn’t be here.” “Except this isn’t the same server,” Etho said, startling everybody. “Look. We’re at spawn. And last I remember, there wasn’t bedrock at spawn. Or an enchanter for that matter. And all the biomes are completely different.” “He’s right,” Jimmy said. “This isn’t the same place.”
“Where are we then?” Tango asked. No one had an answer, but in his heart, Grian knew. The first time around, the universe had wanted a game. And now, it wanted a second round. He could tell by the looks in everyone’s eyes that they were thinking the same.
“What do we do?” Ren asked, ears pressed flat against his head. “We...we could stay together,” Impulse suggested timidly. “Rich coming from you,” Martyn muttered under his breath. Everyone chose to ignore him. “I mean, we don’t have lives anymore,” BigB said. “It might not be the worst idea.” “Don’t jinx it,” Cleo grumbled. “Knowing how the universe works, this round’ll be a lot more twisted than the last time. I wouldn’t bet on not having lives. This stupid server is probably just keeping us in suspense. More fun that way. For all we know, we’ll have even fewer lives to start with.” “Cleo’s got a point,” Tango said. “It might make more sense to split up for now.” Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Okay, can someone please explain what the heck is going on?” a new voice broke in. Grian whirled around to see Lizzie, Pearl, and Mumbo standing at the edge of the group. “Oh no,” he muttered under his breath. “Not you. Please not you.” “Lizzie,” Joel whispered. “No, no, no, no, no. Please. Not her.” Grian turned to face the heavens and recited every swear word he knew, cursing the universe for making him live this nightmare again, cursing it for taking his friends as sacrifices.
“Griba, what’s going on?” Pearl said firmly. For a moment, no one said anything. Then, Scar said quietly, “Pearl, Mumbo, remember that server I told you about? The one where everyone only had three lives?” Pearl and Mumbo nodded slowly, then their eyes widened in horror as they realized what Scar meant. “Surely...” Mumbo swallowed. “You can’t mean that’s what this place is, can you?” The grim looks on everyone’s faces said enough. “Oh, no,” Lizzie murmured. “I’m going to get us out of here,” Grian said, voice shaking more than he cared to admit. “I promise. For now, we need to get far, far away from each other.”
The veteran members murmured their assent. Then, as if one, they turned heel, and began walking in the opposite direction. After a moment, Lizzie, Pearl, and Mumbo followed suit.
Grian had been exploring the server, looking for a place to set up camp when a small chime reverberated through his skull. He stopped dead in his tracks. Words floated in front of his eyes. “You have...” They hovered there for a moment, but then with another chime, they changed to read: “2 lives.” Grian pulled back the sleeve of his sweater to see two yellow hearts tattooed onto his wrist. “...Crap.”
Scar had just finished climbing a tree, when he heard the chime. “You have...” the text read. “6 lives.” Scar’s brow furrowed. He should have only had three lives. How had he ended up with double that amount. Not that he was complaining, but even with the game having gone so wrong the first time, the server shouldn’t be this glitched. He glanced down to see six dark green hearts inked onto his wrist anyways.
Martyn was harvesting wood when the chime sounded. His heart sank as the text appeared. “You have...” Silence echoed through the forest. “4 lives.” “What?” he muttered, as four dark green hearts etched themselves onto his wrist. “How? I’m only supposed to have three.” Before he could ponder it further, his stomach growled, and he set off to find food.
Scott had been hunting a cow when the chime startled him out of his hiding place. “You have...” the text appeared. “2 lives.” “Oh no,” he whispered. He needed gear. Now.
Jimmy had been exploring the server, looking for a high vantage point when the chim rang out. “You have...2 lives.” “Not again.” Distantly, he wondered where Scott was.
Impulse was gathering up splintered pieces of wood when the chime startled him. The wood went crashing to the ground. “You have...3 lives.” So Cleo had been right. Impulse went back to gathering his wood.
Etho and Bdubs were gathering resources when they heard the chime. “You have...4 lives,” the text read for Bdubs. Quietly, he pulled his sleeve further over his wrist and the four dark green hearts that appeared there. “You have...4 lives” the text read for Etho. He pulled a strip of cloth from his jacket and wound it around his wrist. No point letting anyone else know he had an advantage.
Cleo stopped in her tracks when she saw the text. “You have...two lives.” “Oh, this is so bad,” she muttered under her breath, picking up her pace as she looked for shelter.
Tango had been harvesting wood when he heard the chime. “You have...6 lives.” He was too elated by the prospect of the extra breathing room that he didn’t bother to ponder how it was possible to have more than three lives.
BigB had been standing by the riverside when the text appeared. “You have...3 lives.” “Guess Cleo was right,” he murmured. “I suppose I oughta get geared up.”
Skizz waited patiently as the text decided his fate. “You have...3 lives.” Well, at least he knew what to expect this time.
Joel sat down on the edge of the mountain, and waited for the text to tell him what horrors the universe had in store for this round. “You have...5 lives.” “Oh, five,” he said, wondering whether everyone else had the same amount of lives. Slowly, five dark green hearts appeared on his wrist.
Lizzie’s hand traced along the world border, but she stopped as a loud chime rang through her skull. “You have...” floating green text read in front of her eyes. “4 lives.” What did that mean?
Pearl pushed the branch out of her way, but startled by the chime, she let it hit her in the face. “You have...6 lives.” That was good, right? Lots of lives meant a chance to live longer. Six dark green hearts etched themselves into the skin of her wrist. Six lives was good, right?
Mumbo gathered leaves together, using tree bark to tie them into a makeshift sack. He stopped when the chime sounded however. “You have...4 lives.” “Alright!” he exclaimed. After all, four lives was good. Maybe everyone had just been overreacting when they had joined the server. Mumbo certainly hoped they’d been overreacting.
Now, the game had begun anew, and the universe watched with glee as the players began to move into place.

Heart Skips a Beat
Natasha Romanoff x Reader
Summary: Natasha faces her worst nightmare when a rescue mission goes wrong…
Warnings: Violence, blood
Word Count: 1276
Even with your respirator, you still have a hard time seeing through the smoky air. You carefully wade through the uneven piles of debris while dodging the ceiling beams and cables hanging down like vines. Steve assigned you to search the 3rd floor of the 12-floor condominium, but so far, you haven’t located a single living person.
“Hello? Anyone out there?” you call. With your enhanced hearing, you hear something shuffle in the rubble. A hand pokes out, bloody and white with dust.
“Here!” a feminine voice responds.
“I’m coming!” You leap over holes ten-feet wide and balance on beams thinner than a windowsill to reach them. You kneel to brush some dirt aside and find a young woman lying beneath a large ceiling panel. You click the microphone button on your collar and tell your team, “I got a live one on the third floor.”
“So bring them down,” Clint responds.
“I was just getting to that, thank you for the suggestion.” You grab the ceiling panel and toss it aside, offering a hand to the woman. She accepts but cries out as you pull her to her feet. There’s a piece of rebar, nearly as long as your arm, skewered straight through her calf.
“Hold on, it’s okay.” You remove a tourniquet from your pocket and cinch it around her upper thigh. “Let me carry you. I’ll get us out of here.” You gently pick her up bridal-style and retrace your footsteps. Her arms wrap around your neck as she clings to you like her life depends on it.
Then you remember that the staircase had long ago crumbled, and you’d gotten up here by climbing. There was no way you were getting down the same way.
“Um, wait, I didn’t think this through,” you admit to the woman, but she’s in too much shock to catch your joke. “Hey, guys,” you address your team again, “There’s no staircase for us—”
“So jump.” Natasha’s voice crackles in your earpiece and you smile. 
“You are all so very helpful today.” You look around to find an alternate route. Two stories down, part of the floor is still intact. You had used it as a platform to jump up to the third floor—it should be able to take your weight coming down, right?
“Hey,” you say to the woman in your arms, “There’s no stairs, so I’m gonna have to jump. Just hold on to me and don’t look down, okay? I won’t drop you.”
She nods and tucks her head against your chest. You tighten your hold on her and take three great steps, pushing off into the unknown. You land on your feet harder than expected, but your enhanced bones take the impact in stride. From there, it’s just a simple path through the rubble back to the street.
“I’ve got a live one!” you shout, and paramedics rush towards you with a gurney. “She’s got some rebar through her leg, so be careful with her.”
“We got her,” the paramedics assure, helping you set her on the gurney.
“You’re gonna be okay,” you promise the woman, patting her shoulder.
“Thank you,” she whispers, her hand lingering a little too long across your chest.
“You take care of yourself now.” You wave as the paramedics roll her away, then turn around and see Natasha walking towards you with an expression of jealousy. “What?” you ask, removing your respirator and wiping sweat off your forehead.
“Did you have to carry her like that?” Natasha says.
“Carry her like what?” you respond. “She had some rebar in her leg, Nat, I was just trying to—”
“We’re in public. You need to be professional.”
“No, you’re just jealous.” You step towards her, close enough to see the flecks of brown in her swirling green eyes. “Because I carry you like that to our bed all the time—”
“Don’t lead her on like that, you’re never gonna see her again.” Natasha steps back, but you see the blush in her cheeks and the twitch of a smile on her lips.
“I’m just doing my job,” you say. “Besides, I’m already in love with someone else.” You reach for her hand and squeeze it gently.
“Looks like Y/N found the last live one.” Steve comes up behind Natasha, his face streaked with soot and his hair matted just like yours.
“Perfect. So, we’re done here, right?” you say.
“Not just yet. We’re still not sure what caused the collapse—”
“Oh, come on, Steve, you know how these building owners are,” you interrupt. “They cut a bunch of corners, don’t build up to code, and then the whole thing comes down at the slightest—” Natasha shuts you up with a glare.
“How much longer do you think we’ll be here?” she asks.
“Could be a while. There you are, Barton.” Clint falls into place next to you.
“Well, if we’re here long enough, maybe we can hit up the nightclubs,” you say, throwing a glance at Natasha, but she doesn’t look at you. “Or, we can get some shawarma. That’s always a fan favorite.”
“Y/N.” Clint clears his throat.
“Sorry.” Sometimes you go a little too far, but that’s just how you are. Doing your line of work isn’t easy or normal, and you always try to keep things fun and light.
“We can celebrate after we’ve got this mess sorted out,” Steve says. “So what we need to do next is—”
BOOM.
BOOM.
You hear two gunshots; all of you do. But you’re the only one who gets hit.
The first bullet tears through your right shoulder and it feels like you’ve been struck with an anvil. Your body jerks upward and your blood sprays across the faces of your teammates. Before you even start falling, the second bullet spirals through your lower back and you swear you feel your organs explode. You stay standing, swaying slightly. You see the expression of shock on Natasha’s face, then the blood on her cheeks. Your blood.
“Shots fired, shots fired!” Steve leaps forward and slams Clint to the ground. Clint rolls out from under him and takes cover behind a car. Steve looks back and sees Natasha still standing, looking like a deer in headlights. None of your limbs seem to work. The respirator slips from your hand and your legs finally buckle to the right. “Get down, Nat!” He pushes himself up and tackles her to the ground.
“Everybody get down!” Clint yells. Paramedics and police officers scatter, civilians run in all directions.
Your right arm cushions your head from slamming on the asphalt and you hear your heartbeat in your ringing ears. The pain is dull, an annoying background sensation, and you’re not even aware of the blood pooling beneath you. Maybe you should’ve worn your bulletproof vest, but you hadn’t planned on being shot during a rescue mission.
Natasha stares at you helplessly, watching you gasp for air. Instinctively, she tries crawling towards you, but Steve flattens his weight on her.
“Don’t move, Nat!” he orders. “Stay down!”
But she doesn’t hear him. She only sees you. She sees your eyes glaze over, your fingers clawing weakly at the ground, trying to reach out to her. She sees the blood puddle forming around your body, practically drowning you in a sea of red.
Darkness pulls at the edges of your vision, threatening to swallow you whole. Your chest flames in agony with each shallow breath you take, and the darkness becomes more and more tempting. Your eyelids flutter; you don’t have the strength to keep them open. You don’t hear Natasha screaming your name as you blank out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Click here for Part 2!
AN: I never thought I’d write fanfics again, but this brilliant idea popped into my head when I was watching 9-1-1 and I just had to write it. This is also the first time I’ve written a reader-insert story and one with no planned ending, so we’ll see what happens!
