“We really shouldn’t be doing this…” maybe for ghost ava? - 3 or 5 sentences or however long you’d like :)
Ava did a lot of things she regretted in her life, some of them stemming from her borderline and others simply out of human error. She had been so thoughtful on paper but as she reached her end all she became was impulsive. Looking back her downward spiral was obvious, though perhaps she wasn’t the only problem if no one else had noticed until she bled out under Connor’s scalpel.
Even in death, old habits die hard. It’s what Ava told herself to justify what she was about to do, knowing full well what Jason would say.
“We really shouldn’t be doing this, Bekker…”
He wasn’t there, though. He didn’t see what Ava saw, he never could. As much as Jason wanted to understand her over-emotional attachment to things, he never would. He could warn her about the shadow people all he wanted. It wouldn’t change the fact that ignoring the scene in front of her would make her as heartless as the living chalked her up to be.
The emergency department was crawling with people, as loud and uncomfortable as Ava remembered. It wasn’t the bloodied faces of patients or screaming of grieving family that upset her that day, though. Instead it was the barely there figure crouching behind a privacy curtain, tiny blue socks just peeking through. Ava had watched the scene unfold merely by accident and she knew better than to interfere, yet something in her was screaming not to turn away.
“Hey, little one,” she tried to speak quietly, though her voice somehow rang out over the bustle of the ED. A tiny squeak told her she had been heard, though no words proceeded.
“Harper?” She remembered the name falling from Doctor Marcel’s lips like a broken promise all those months ago. She had watched the toddler follow her father around for weeks, just barely touching him before he slipped from her tiny grasp yet again. Jason never let her get involved, telling her they couldn’t interfere. It would only hurt the baby, risking her becoming trapped in the hospital just like they were. It was too late now, though. Ava couldn’t let the child’s spirit go, not after what she saw.
“P-papa,” her voice was shaky and Ava wondered if she had even used it after her death. She peeked through the curtain at the woman in front of her, Ava tried not to take it to heart when she cried out. The large wound in her neck was a shock to anyone, even without the blood, but to a baby it would be mortifying.
“Your papa is busy helping people now,” she said slowly, “Did you get scared, Harper?”
Blue eyes met hers again, chemo having robbed her of any eyelashes to catch her tears. Instead they slid freely down her cheeks as she nodded, clutching her stuffed animal tightly to her chest.
“I know it must have been scary…” Ava couldn’t help but think of her own childhood, the things she saw before she could tie her shoes would be enough to make a grown woman weep. She knew Harper went through an insurmountable pain before she was out of diapers, so being haunted by it in death was an injustice no one deserved.
“I’m Ava,” she added as an afterthought, “I can help you find a safer place to play, you can wait for your papa there.”
“Wanna see… see papa…”
“He’s working, darling, and this isn’t a good place for you to be. He’s helping people feel better, you know that?”
It took some more coaxing before Harper would come out from her hiding place. She did eventually, though, and Ava couldn’t help but be relieved. She didn’t know where she would take Harper or what would happen now that she spoke to her. All Ava knew was an ED after a shooting was no place for a toddler and she couldn’t let more trauma befall the kid.
So with Harper’s tiny hand in hers, Ava led her through the double doors and down the hall. The surgeon felt a million eyes on her, burning through her very soul, but she had to shake it off. She’d done what Jason had warned her against from the beginning; now she would just have to accept their wrath.

The Box - Crockett Marcel x Reader
Trigger Warning: Mentions of Child Death
Tagging: @cosmic-psychickitty @celilice1 @kabloswrld @crazy4chickennuggets @fredandgeorgeweasley11 @99-reasons-to-live @legit9thlunaticwarrior @telepathay @teti-menchon0604 @depxiety @lelaart @genius2050 @mortal--soul @alexxavicry @variety-is-the-joy-of-life @kenqki @iworldlywriter @nu1freakshow @kylieramey @nothinbtannika @thebewingedjewelcat @irishavengersassemble
The box sits upon the kitchen counter. It has ever since his ex-wife Claire dropped it off. Crockett hasn’t had the heart to touch it. He knows what’s in it, he packed it himself all those years ago.
Opening that box means confronting the worst thing that's ever happened to him, and he just can’t bring himself to experiance those memories again. He’s built a life on living in the moment and that box reminds him of the time he was planning a future, when he had a wife and a baby girl that used to lie on his chest as his fingers brushed over her feather like hair.
When he thinks of Harper that’s his favourite memory. They hadn’t realised she was sick back then, that her tiny body was trying to fight off the leukaemia. When she passed away it had destroyed a part of him, fractured him in a way that couldn’t be fixed. He had spent years running from that anguish, burying his head in the booze, the surgeries and the women.
Nothing in his life was permanent after that, he was in a constant state of transition. His job was thing that kept him going, his main focus. He looks at the box again and runs his hands through his hair. He doesn’t want to do this, but he has to because it’s the only way to move forward. He grieved for Harper back then but losing a child, it’s an agony that doesn’t really leave you. It’s like a part of your soul has been destroyed and there’s a hole that can never really be filled.
His trembling hands come to rest upon the lid before he lifts it.
It feels like someone has plunged an ice pick right into his heart. The memories, they hit him in a rush as his fingertips trail over the sunshine yellow t-shirt that she used to wear, the one with the glitter and the rainbow on the front.
His eyes are burning when he gets to the green baby blanket, he remembers how small she felt in his arms when they brought her home from the hospital, that pink little hat perched on her head. He picks up the blanket and presses it to his face, even after all these years her smell still clings to it and it kills him. It breaks something deep down inside of him. He feels the floodgates open and before he knows it, he’s sobbing into the baby blanket because he remembers Harper’s tiny hand curling around his finger. The glow in his chest when he’d held her for the very first time.
Your palm comes to rest upon his shoulder, your thumb smoothing over the fabric of his shirt, your lips brushing over the back of his head. There are no words you can say to take away his pain, you don’t understand what it’s like to lose a child. Instead, you do the only thing you can, you hold him while his breaks.

exes meeting again after not speaking for years au + sockett!!
I've been thinking about this request literally ever since you sent it I'm so sorry it took five months to write. but anyway this is a fun new au that I haven't mentioned at all anywhere (except in a couple of people's dms) and I love it so so much
wc: 717
warnings: implied child death, mentioned dog death (but literally just from old age), sarah's an oncologist
Crockett sees her before she sees him. She’s standing with her back to him at a computer at the nurses’ station, but even before her face is visible, he knows it’s her. Her hair is the same — darker than it was ten years ago, but pulled up in a bun the way she always used to — and he’s never met anyone else who rubs their neck when they’re stressed the way she’s doing right now.
He slowly makes his way over to her, setting his tablet down at the computer next to hers, then waits a moment before speaking.
“My mom came by the other day with the box you sent. She didn’t mention you were moving here.”
“I didn’t tell her.” She’s still staring at her computer, brow furrowed as she tries to make sense of what’s on the screen, and Crockett takes the opportunity to peer at the words embroidered on her white coat.
Sarah Reese, M.D.
Pediatric Oncology
“Oncology. Interesting choice.”
She snaps her head around to look at him.
Now, face-to-face with her, he can see how much she’s changed in the last decade. The nose ring she’d worn the entire time he’d known her is gone, and it’s only because he knows to look for it that he can see the hole it left behind. Her face looks thinner than before, her cheekbones more defined, and she’s not wearing any makeup either - no more dark eyeshadow or thick black mascara like in all the photos tucked away in albums at his parents’ house.
“Can I help you with something, Dr Marcel?”
Their eyes meet, and for a moment, he can see reflected back at him the same pain he’s become so good at hiding from everyone. He wonders if she can see it too, if his guard is down enough to be vulnerable for once, but if she can, she does a good job of ignoring it.
“It’s been a while.”
She nods, then turns her attention back to her computer. “Ten years.”
She’s not interested in talking, that much Crockett’s sure of, and if it were anybody else, he’d just shut up and leave them alone. But it’s Sarah, and he has so much he wants to say that he can’t even get the words straight in his head, so he stays where he is and tries his hardest to make conversation.
“How have you been? How’s your mom?”
“We’re fine.”
“And Buffy? Her birthday should be coming up around now, right?”
“She’s dead.”
His face falls, and Sarah has to bite back a smile.
“She’d be twenty now, Crockett. How many twenty-year-old dogs do you know?”
“No, yeah, of course. My bad.”
He turns back to his computer, but every few seconds he glances at Sarah from the corner of his eye. Her attention is fixed completely on her own screen, and she chews absentmindedly on her bottom lip as she reads. Crockett’s never seen her do that before, so he watches, oblivious to the fact that he’s staring until she turns to face him.
“What are you doing?”
He quickly looks away, then mumbles what sounds to Sarah like an attempt at an apology. Maybe he means it, maybe he’s just saying it to get her to stop looking like she wants to kill him, but she doesn’t care enough either way to try and figure it out. Instead, she logs out of her computer, grabs her tablet and half-empty cup of coffee, and makes it approximately two steps before Crockett’s voice stops her in her tracks.
“Sarah, wait.”
“Is this important? Because I have patients I need to see.”
“What happened to your accent?” he asks, sounding almost, genuinely sad that it’s gone.
“It went away when I moved to New York. Now is that all? Because I can’t just stand here and make small talk when I have patients that are relying on me. You’d have hated it if Harper’s doctor had done that.”
She walks off without giving him a chance to respond, and for a moment he just stands there, mouth hanging open, as he watches her walk towards the elevators. She doesn’t look back, and he doesn’t expect her to. Maybe the Sarah he knew ten years ago would, but she’s long gone, and he's not sure if she's ever coming back.

Léon Benigni, Cover Illustration for Femina Magazine, Modes d'hiver, circa 1929.
Biography
A leading fashion illustrator, draughtsman and lithographr, Léon Benigni worked with such designers and couturiers as Jeanne Lanvin, Marcel Rochas, Elsa Schiaparelli, Lucien Lelong, Jacques Fath, Jean Patou, Nina Ricci and Cristôbal Balenciaga. He produced drawings and cover designs for such magazines as Harper’s Bazaar, Femina, La Donna, Art Goût Beauté, The Bystander and Modes et Travaux, and also designed a number of travel posters in the 1920s and 1930s (notably one for the spa and ski resort of Brides-les-Bains in the Savoie region) and advertisements for Cadillac and LaSalle cars. In an appreciation of Léon Benigni, published in an English magazine article in 1933, it was noted that ‘M. Benigni is known to thousands through the medium of the leading fashion magazines. This young Frenchman has brought himself to the front rank of modern fashion artists. He has developed a style which fits perfectly with present ideas of fashion. Modern fashions contain an element of caricature, though they never lose their delicacy and charm. These qualities are apparent in Bénigni’s work. In avoiding heaviness and an exact representation, he works in line, and his line work is light and suggestive enough in its simplicity to hold all the attraction so necessary in publicity. The female face is depicted almost as a formula of design. The thin lines in which it is traced are not an accurate representation, but it is impossible to deny the conviction of reality carried by the design…an addition or alteration to any of these drawings of Bénigni’s, in the form of a few extra lines or corrections, would ruin the effect. They are, for their purpose, complete as they stand.’ (x)

Aougoughouh Update From Hell 💃🏻✨
Okay so while my roommate and I just barely have enough to get a place, we’re stuck couch surfing while we wait for a unit to actually open and accept us so in the meantime while I’m just stuck Waiting™️ in between working on comms I’ve started ironing out the plot-relevant lore mechanics and filling out and detailing the rough outlines for Leviathan Child and Angel Static. My goal is to be completely finished with the outline for Angel Static by the time we move into our apartment, then finish the first draft of the script by July.
By the way, my commissions will be open until the end of December 2023! Any support to help build us a safety net is greatly appreciated 🖤

Trust Issues - Crockett Marcel x Reader (feat: Sam Abrams)
Tagging: @cosmic-psychickitty @celilice1 @kabloswrld @anime-weeb-4-life @fredandgeorgeweasley11 @99-reasons-to-live @legit9thlunaticwarrior @telepathay @teti-menchon0604 @depxiety @lelaart @mortal--soul @iworldlywriter @nu1freakshow @kylieramey @nothinbtannika @thebewingedjewelcat @irishavengersassemble
Takes place during Through The Dark in the scenes between their first meeting and their second.
Prequel to Because of You
Crockett has trust issues. He has since he opened up to Natalie about his daughter and then subsequently had his heart broken by her. He’s the first woman he loved after this ex-wife Claire and the only one he has ever told about Harper. He knows he’s messed up, that there’s a darkness in him that he fights with booze, women and a good time because Natalie’s rejection, it still stings.
In the aftermath of meeting you, he thinks about that. In fact he thinks about you often. You’re the first person to call him on his bullshit since Natalie left, and he finds it oddly refreshing. He wonders if that’s why he’s so attracted to you because you challenge him in ways that no one else has. You may have said some pretty shitty things to him but the thing is every single one of them were true.
“The problem is, she’s right.” He tells Sam Abrams as the two of them sit at the end of the bar in Molly’s. It’s been a tough day, the two of them had collaborated on a surgery with a low chance of success. It had gone as well as it could have, now they just need to see if their patient is actually going to wake up. It’s a waiting game, one that the two of them hate playing. “I wasn’t ready to deal with it.”
“I didn’t even know you had a daughter until today.” Sam remarks, watching the ice cubes in his Scotch clack together as he swills them around. “I think that in itself shows you’re making progress.”
Crockett contemplates that. This is the first time he’s mentioned Harper to anyone, and he knows it’s because of the kid lying in that hospital bed reminds him so much of his daughter that it kills him deep inside. Sam sighs, pulling out a silver Parker Pen with his initials engraved upon it before scribbling something down onto a napkin and using his fingertips to shove it towards Crockett. It’s a name with a line of digits underneath, a phone number he realises.
“My wife’s a counsellor.” Sam explains. “She actually gets paid to listen to people. She’s not taking on new clients at the moment but if you tell her I sent you she’ll make the time.”
Crockett stares down at the napkin clutched in his hand.
“You think I need therapy?”
Sam shrugs his shoulders.
“I think you need something.” He informs the other man. “Therapy, an intervention, probably something along those lines. I think you’ve gotten used to numbing the pain instead of dealing with it and at some point, in the future it’s going to affect your judgement. I don’t want to see an excellent surgeon lose sight of what’s important because he isn’t taking care of himself.”
Crockett feels his jaw tighten at the insinuation. He opens his mouth to say something but stops himself because it occurs to him that Sam doesn’t waste his breath. If he didn’t think there was an issue, he wouldn’t have handed over his wife’s number. This is his way of trying to help without getting all fuzzy about it.
“Fine.” He says, tucking the napkin into the pocket of his jeans. “I’ll give her a call tomorrow morning, see if she can fit me in.”
