PLEASE A YANDERE SPRINGTRAP(yes I know i'm obsessed) PLEASE! Plot: Reader actually escapes by outsmarting him(somehow)
Tumblr media
I don' t know who made this but it's funny!
I can try to! Also, yeah, the image is funny. Sorry for the long wait!
This sort of implies you were the first nightguard in Fazbear's Fright and William is getting used to being Springtrap.
You Who Got Away
Yandere! Springtrap Short
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Sadism, Haunted animatronic this time, Start of obsession, Murder mention.
Tumblr media
Anger made the haunted bot shudder. He had slipped up, let himself be fooled by you, now you left scot free. He kept twitching with rage.
Oh if he was still human such mistakes wouldn't have been made! Thirty years of rotting and he's lost his senses. He can barely function within his mechanical tomb. It will take some getting used to.
This had been his first encounter with you. The first time he's met you and you've already made him frustrated. Not only had you been able to leave, but you left him feeling strange.
In his past he had been a murderer. Ever since his family fell apart he had been cold. Yet here you are, making him feel strange while he's forced to live here in purgatory.
He was either too stuborn to die or was being kept in this state.
When he was transported here he was unsure how to feel. Up until he realized at night security cameras were on. Then he met you.
What a poor soul you were. Trapped here with him for a measly paycheck. When he laid eyes on you... he stalled.
You were the perfect victim. He knew your fate would be to die at his hands. Yet...
He felt killing you would ruin the fun.
He shouldn't waste you. He knew you and him would have so much fun. He couldn't help himself, he wanted to hunt you.
Your fear was delectable when he stared at you from the window. His dead eyes never leave yours. You were more of a rabbit than him.
You sat there in confused fear, hands tapping about on a tablet while quivering. He tilts his head with a wide grin. You had no idea what, or who, you were dealing with.
He hears a distant laughter in the distance. He glances at your hand on a button with disinterest. Audio meant to fool him? Why would that work?
You glance at the clock to see the time. He then takes the time to move closer from the other side. It was 4:50 AM.
"A new soul for me to slaughter, hm?"
The smell of rot makes you recoil, the rabbit standing in the doorway. You shuffle yourself towards the vent. He doesn't notice yet.
"Oh, dear... I think you'll prove to be a fun toy for me."
As if to prove his point, you dart into the vent. He's puzzled for a moment but engages in this game of chase. He knew you'd prove promising.
That was what became of most your night. You trying to run from Springtrap. The longer the chase went on the more he enjoyed you.
He could kill you when he caught you.... But there was so much more he could do. They probably wouldn't give him a victim as good as you again.
You were so clever. You fooled him by making noise and shuffling away. There were times he thought he'd catch you...
Then you'd come up with some new trick.
By the time that clock dinged and you flew out of those doors, he was left frustrated and stunned. He loved the chase yet now he couldn't stop twitching. He's... disappointed among other things.
He was frustrated he made a fool of himself and let you go. He was satisfied that you fueled his sadistic desires. He was also on edge as he may now never see you again.
He doubted anyone would believe you. A haunted robot? That's just the sleep deprivation. Although he was concerned you'd quit before he caught you.
He stares at the door with consideration. Following you wouldn't work as he would quickly be caught. Instead he stays still in front of the exit.
The idea of you quitting made him shake more, you'd think the springlocks were going off on his bones. He was upset. He gains consciousness again with new life, is tempted with such a treat, then loses it in the same night.
He'll just have to have faith that you'll return. Perhaps you're desperate enough for the money, hm? He'll just have to be patient and wait.
He can't believe he wants you to come back...
However, he knows if you do, he'll be sure you don't get away this time.

it had been a happenstance of fate that their paths had crossed, truly. suguru isn't especially in the habit of seeking out anyone even tangentially related to tokyo jujutsu high nor its sister school nor its admin nor anyone at all who would even slightly wish to carry out his DEATH SENTENCE ( satoru notwithstanding, but that's simply an entirely different matter altogether / and he supposes that shoko is an exception to the rule / and oh, dear, if he keeps adding exceptions then what's the point, really? ) but, well.
nanami.
sitting across from each other in a café is entirely suguru's doing, regardless of anything / nanami looked at once COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and ENTIRELY THE SAME : he'd always looked tired and over it throughout school, almost lackadaisical in how he carried himself throughout his day to day life, haibara ( the thought still smarts against his heart, scraping against the inside of his skull, how hopeless and defeated nanami had looked, how small haibara's corpse had seen, and suguru had thought hopelessly of haibara's sister, whom he'd always said he didn't want following in his footsteps for all that he carried on ENTHUSIASTICALLY ) constantly in range exacerbating the matter, grinning and energetic and effusive. nanami appears older, more tired, worn by the world / separated from the jujutsu world in general, it seems, and the thought is almost melancholic.
❝ —— a salaryman? ❞ suguru says, stirring his still black tea idly in the cup he'd been handed / skin crawling from proximity to vermin and monkeys but it can't be helped. he's in the area for one meeting or another, but sitting down with his old kouhai takes precedence, and THEY WILL WAIT FOR HIM, naturally. ❝ i hope they aren't working you into the ground, nanami-kun, ❞ it's a familiar honorific, though doesn't quite seem fitting for nanami as he sits before him today, ❝ honestly, your abilities would be better used in other pursuits. ❞
a tilt to his head, a shift to his eyes. nanami had always been so preceptive, hadn't he? ❝ —— can you say that again? ❞ @spirestar says, sounding almost suspicious, perhaps? suguru isn't quite as adept at reading him as he is with most others.
always so passive seeming, nanami. stiff backed. it could fool almost anyone, really. suguru laughs, not meanly, not attempting at cruelty, truly expressing amusement : his head tilting and hair falling as he takes the little spoon out of the cup / taps it against the rim precisely four times / sets it upon the saucer oh so delicately as he picks up the cup primly. ❝ don't worry, nanami-kun, ❞ he says, smiling over the cup at him, ❝ i am only looking for the most devout for my following, ❞ a humorous turn of phrase, perhaps —— CULT LEADER, et cetera. ❝ had you been interested, you would have found me, by now. but you're just ( ... ) DISILLUSIONED, aren't you? ❞

Dear brother,
Tumblr media
Fandom: Hypnosis Mic
Series: Secrets & Trust
Character: Gentaro Yumeno
AO3 Link
Track 9 - Track List
a lot has been going on during your absence. So much which I will have to report on. I won’t even know where to begin. A lot has happened, good and bad. And yet, even during those bad times, I have met some interesting people. Their stories are unique and I am certain that you will come to appreciate them as much as I did. Honestly, I had not even imagined any of this happening, having so much to report… And yet, here we are. All while I have stepped into your shoes.
But I’m sure that I have written down everything regarding Ramuda and Dice already, haven’t I?  Expressing my desire for you to meet the two, once the time comes. Once it does… Yeah, once it does… I’m sure that you will find them just as interesting as I do. How curious each of them are, all doing their own thing. And yet, somehow, it had brought us three together. What an ironic twist of fate.
But alas, I am not here to talk about them more, not this time. There is a third person I would like you to meet… I have rambled about them before here and there, haven’t I? But that’s all it had been, meaningless rambling. Honestly, I was probably searching for some clarity. Because I had not understood back then… Why them? 
I have told you about some outstanding things – How they handle and look into the written word flawlessly yet make a kitchen explode when they just want to boil something as simple as water. How they can be so serious in one aspect yet in the next you catch them off guard and they become a mess who is barely able to get a word out. I thought it was just all of that. They were just interesting… Well, maybe there was some gut feeling there, or a wish of some sorts. 
Someone to confide in… Someone who can read between the lines and see right through me. ‘But had that not been an inconvenience to you?’ – At first I believed so. It was a scary thought… 
And yet… They have rejected the idea of exposing me. I think you could call it that. I cannot fool them with my act, not anymore at least, and yet it caused something within me, hearing their words. “I want to get to know you”, that is the summary of it all. Someone wanting to get to know me… Despite everything they chose the option of a slow approach. 
Do I sound as if I was in awe? Haha, I admit it to you first. I am in awe. I believed for them to be easily fooled, someone to play games with, games to distract myself from everything going on. That was all it had been… I had not expected for it to go any deeper than that… For me to actually understand.
I have been caught off guard at least a little. Oh the things they do unintentionally, a special kind of fool. But perhaps they’re the type of fool I cannot help but love.
Did I just say that? Love? Yes, I did. I can say it with confidence now. And yet, saying it directly to them might be a little too early. Not when I still have something else to take care of. I do have my priorities. I’m not going to lose sight of my goal just yet.
But allow me to indulge in those little breathers. Frankly, your role is an exhausting one. Having someone who can assist me break character… Perhaps it is a little too reassuring. Maybe I shall snatch them here and there for my own breaks. I can only hope that Ramuda and Dice are ready to forgive me for my upcoming selfishness from time to time.
Forgive me to bore you with such details. It must be exhausting to listen to all of this. Maybe I should just leave it at that and introduce you to them once the time is right. I hope you will look forward to it as much as I do. 
That is all I have to report to you for today. I will talk to you again soon, that is a promise.
Please, make sure to hold on just a little longer… It will all be over soon for you. I will make sure of that.
Your brother—

Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Shin [BRUTE ENDING]
Tumblr media
???: ...up...
Wake...up... ーー Wake up, Yui!
Yui: ( Nn...This voice... )
ー Yui wakes up in the park
Yui: Shin-kun...
Shin: Aah...You finally regained consciousness. 
Yui: I...passed out? Where are we...?
Shin: The human world. We’ve fled here.
You suddenly fainted along the way, which really gave me a scare. 
Yui: I-I’m sorry. I must have been kind of drained...
Shin: Nah...It’s fine. The Demon World was never a place for humans in the first place.
I’m sure it must have taken its toll on your health?
Yui: I guess so...?
Shin: It’s your own fault for pushing yourself to chase after me...
Yui: M-My bad. But...Still...
( Oh no, I’m tearing up... )
I’m so glad I was able to find you...Truly. 
Shin: Yui...
Yui: Shin-kun, let’s go back together? To Carla-san. 
Shin: ...
Yui: I’m sure he had a reason for everything he did. So let’s try and have a proper heart-to-heart with him. 
I’m sure the two of you will be able to talk it out. 
Isn’t that what you truly want deep down as well? 
Shin: ...I...
No...That’s what I want as weーー
???: It does not matter whether you do or not. The two of you can no longer change the fate of the residents of the Dark.
Yui: ( W-Whose voice is this...!? )
ー Everything fades to black
*PANG*
Shin: ...! Y-You are...!!
*Flap flap flap*
Monologue
ーー Where am I? 
Who am I? 
Why did I forget everything? 
Perhaps none of it ever mattered,
if in the end, 
I just forgot about it anyway? 
Although the desire to deny said statement,
wells up inside of me.
I do not know why. 
All I know is...That I am incredibly thirsty. 
ー The scene shifts to Karlheinz’ pharmaceutical facility
Shin: Nn...Hah...Nn...Phew...Haah...
Human woman: Ah...Aah...!!
Shin: ( Pipe down...Shut up! Silence! )
( Let me suck your blood. More, I need more...!! )
Nn...Haah...Nn...
Human woman: Uu...Aah...
Shin: ( Delicious...Blood is amazing...I want to drink it. I need more blood...! )
Haah...
Human woman: ...
Shin: Che...
*Thud*
Karlheinz: ...It is rather heartless of you to throw a lady off to the side like that. 
ー Karlheinz walks up to him
Shin: Karlheinz...!
You...What have you done to me!? 
Karlheinz: ...Oh dear? It appears that you still know who I am. 
Shin: Of course...I will never be able to forget that ugly face of yours...!
Karlheinz: I see. I suppose that you can only see the unsightly in everything right now? Hehe...
Shin: What’s so funny...!? 
Karlheinz: Oh no, nothing? 
...Right, I almost forgot. I will have you help me out in my personal research. 
That is why I had you come over here. 
Shin: Research...You say?
Karlheinz: Exactly. In my ‘Apple of Eden’ project. 
Shin: ...What the fuck is that...? Don’t just decide that on your own!
Karlheinz: Fufu, I would like to say the exact same thing to you. 
After all, that lady over there...She will pass away in a few more minutes since you sucked her dry of her blood. 
ーー All because of you.
You continued to feed off her, against her own will. 
Shin: Not my problem! I can suck as much human blood as I want!
Karlheinz: ...Fufu, is that so? I figured you would say that.
Please do not forget about those words. 
ー He walks away again
Shin: Wait! ...Ah...!
( Fuck...My head is killing me...Blood...It’s because I need more blood! )
Human woman: ...Uu...Ah...
Shin: ...Oh? ...You’re still alive, huh...?
Human woman: ...Shi...un...
...Don’t...
Shin: ( ...Huh...? )
Human woman: ...Don’t...cry...
...
Shin: ( Heh. Guess she died... )
( What did she say? ...’Don’t cry’? (1) ) 
( What a fool. Crying, who? Bullshit. Guess she was hallucinating during her final moments? )
( ...Oh well, it doesn’t matter. More importantly... )
...Hey, you...I think I can get a little more blood out of you...
( I can’t believe I’m about to drink blood from a corpse... )
( But still...I’m so thirsty... )
( I have no other choice...!! )
Nn...Haah...
( ...It’s still warm... )
Shin: Nn...Haah...
Nnh...Nn...
( Aah...I feel as if the more I drink, the worse this thirst gets. )
Phew...Nn...
( Aah, it’s delicious...What makes it so good...? )
Human woman: ーーー
Shin: ( ...Guess she has kicked the bucket after all. Of course she’s dead, I’m the one who killed her. )
...
...
( Anyway...I just don’t get it... )
( ...”Don’t cry”...? Why would she say that to her own murderer? )
( It makes no sense for something to come from a human on the brink of death. )
Human woman: ーーー 
Shin: ( Do the two of us...Know each other from somewhere...? )
...
...Aah...
ー Shin finally recognizes Yui
Yui: ーーー 
Shin: ...Aah...aah...
Why...?
Yui: ーーー 
Shin: Why? Why...!? No, I...I...
killed...
Aah...Aaaaaaaah!!!
ーー THE END ーー
Translation notes
(1) In the Japanese dialogue, the sentence is repeated twice. The first time, it’s written with just hiragana, while the second time, it is written with the kanji for ‘to cry’. 
Japanese has a lot of homophones, so he needed a couple of seconds to process what exactly she was trying to say. In English it makes less sense to repeat the same sentence twice since the meaning should be clear, hence why I slightly adapted my traslation.

Lestat: I reject their attempts to confine me to a false binary of good and evil, as though a mere two extremes could ever encompass all that I am, my intricacies, my nuances!
Louis: ....where you going with this, Lestat.
Lestat: I REFUSE to be hated for being evil, for simply being the antithesis of good! Positioned as such not even by any particular choice or deed - despite the dizzying wealth of possibilities I offer to choose from - but rather as a given absolute which springs forth unearned, unasked, unsought...taking root from the mere fact that just as equally do I reject the restrictions of being ‘good.’ How....limiting a palette with which to paint my mark upon the world and throughout history, but only ever in varying shades of two colors and two colors only! How....unrefined a palate to be burdened with, an albatross about my neck as I voyage through all of my tomorrows without end, bequeathed as I am with all of eternity and its endless feast of experiences as sup for me to dine upon....except treacherously, their infinite array of possibilities only ever present themselves to my tongue as insufficiently salted or overwhelmingly sweet, nothing more and nothing less. Certainly nothing other!
Louis: *literally stopped paying attention three words in*
Lestat: Nay, I say! I will not abide the complexity of my motivations, the spectrum that spills forth from all my multi-faceted glory to illuminate all that my shadow has passed over and left forever changed in my wake...I will not tolerate that all of this be eroded to dust by the failure of insipid fools to open their eyes wide enough that they might see the full breadth of it all! That small minds living small lives be allowed to chip away at everything that sets me apart from them til naught is left but mere slivers of a stature like enough to their own insignificance, they too can exist within these narrow margins of ‘good’ and ‘evil’....all while these master craftsmen congratulate themselves for having reshaped something so much vaster than they into an image small enough to fit the confines of their comprehension. Proclaiming their understanding of the world to now be greater than it was before, and what their blunt, unsubtle tools have wrought to be ‘art’....it is unconscionable! How banal a fate for the fingerprint only I can leave upon the windowpane of this world, reduced to an unseemly smudge when once it was a labyrinth of all the paths only I have trod through life, a palimpsest placed atop every page of every story I have been a part of! How plebeian! How pedestrian! How positively....mundane.
Louis: I see. So you object to being called good or evil, moreso the latter since this mostly tends to come up when people react badly to you trying to eat them...
Lestat: Ugh. Louis, please. Must you be so crude? We do not eat people. We....slake our thirsts with their life’s blood.
Louis: Ah. Of course. The way I said it left out all the nuance and complexities.
Lestat: Yes, good. So you do see the problem.
Louis: Absolutely. You don’t want to be reduced to an undescriptive ‘evil’ by people as you’re slaking your thirst with their life’s blood, because who would? Its so minimizing. Now, do you have a preferable alternative as an example? Some other impression of you that can still be summed up briefly enough they can fit it into their dying moments, but that would be more accurate than the simple and unsophisticated ‘evil’?
Lestat: Don’t speak of me as though I’m some kind of uncomprehending child, Louis. I’m perfectly aware of the point you’re oh so cleverly dancing around. Of course I understand why they leap to the word choice they do in the context of things. I’m particular, not deluded. I’m simply saying - 
Louis: Agree to disagree.
Lestat: I’m simply saying. Yes, yes, I kill people, oh dear, oh my, this is of course terribly monstrous and well within the parameters of most any perception of evil. Obviously. So yes, I kill people. And what of it? Any common murderer can do the same, its hardly difficult. So for that to be the measure by which the entirety of even just my encounter with an individual is to be made....I simply find it...lacking. It positions me as peers with countless others up to and including a man immortalized for being the first one to do it with nothing more than a rock and for no greater reason than he decided a theoretical deity allegedly liked his brother more than him. That’s hardly distinguished company that anyone would likely be eager to seek, let alone claim, so if I am to be known as a killer, at least let me be known as one of a more unique caliber and befitting of more rarefied company than that.
Louis: Of course. If murderers are to be the company you keep in story or memory, you at least want to be counted among the aristocracy of murderers. As opposed to a mere commoner, obviously.
Lestat: Precisely. Regardless of one’s view of my moral disposition, “he’s evil” says absolutely nothing distinctive about myself in particular. And yet they insist on treating that alone as the only descriptor by which I can be described! There’s a breadth to me, a range, that ‘evil’ utterly fails to encompass. Why must that be the only option of note when I could be described with more specificity as so confounding as to prod men who swear by peace into instead swearing to hunt me to the ends of the earth? Which, of course, I have done. Or perhaps instead, I could be known for laying siege to a man’s mind with ceaseless words that continuously conjure thoughts so unendurable, he’d stab at his own ear drums just for the faintest chance to be rid of them! Which, again, I have done. If I am to be reviled, at least let me be reviled for being so devilishly distracting or so adept at teasing forth the skein of man’s hidden madness....why, men would sooner flee their own homes with me left still inside, the inheriting king of their abandoned castles....just to be free of the havoc I wreck upon their reasoning. Preferring to set themselves in exile than risk having to bear facing me again. Show me the common brute, the loutish murderer, who could possibly claim the same!
Louis: So. In summation: you’re in a mood because your latest victim called you an evil monster and while you don’t object to the veracity of that, you’re insulted because this reduces you to a generalized non-entity of no specific distinction, and the least the people you kill could do is have the decency to hate you for being annoying rather than just plain old evil.
Lestat: .....when you say it like that, of course it sounds silly.
Louis: Yes, yes, sorry, I forgot. Once again, its my lack of nuance that’s the problem.
Lestat: Ugh, fine! You win as usual, Louis! Once more, you have ripped through the fragile veil of my whims and forced my gaze upon the callous, uncaring stone of truth that lies underneath! I’m simply an absurd man who cares about absurd things and rather than be indulged, far better that we erect a town square right here in our parlor for the sole purpose of hosting a stage more appropriate for the ridicule I so richly deserve! Obviously my feelings aren’t reason enough for something to matter and there’s nothing of merit by which to remember me at all, so in the event I do perish, you of course have my permission to memorialize me with a headstone proclaiming: Here lies the vampire Lestat. He was very evil. Nothing more. That’s it. Just evil. And now he’s dead. There. Are you happy now?
Louis: For the record, if you were to prefer being thought of as annoying rather than a more generic evil, then I would tell you that you’ve achieved your aims admirably and have earned that distinction a hundred times over. Just this night alone.
Lestat: Oh, please. You’re only saying that now to make me feel better.
Louis: I’m really not. Only a truly ridiculous child of a man, prone to fits of dramatic frenzy over the most baffling of matters, would even think to consider that an attempt at appeasement. I can with complete sincerity, confirm that you are without a doubt, the most spectacularly unbearable spectacle of a man that I have ever met, with none I can think of even cresting the horizon to rate as a distant second by comparison. You’re so insufferable, even I sometimes wrestle with the desire to kill you, not for any particular evil deed, but simply because you’re being that unendurable and my patience is near its end. And I’m one of the only people who’s known you longer than a day and likes you any of the time and has any patience for your shenanigans. Yes, I said shenanigans, because only you, of all those I’ve met in this world and that I might describe as monstrous, only you manage to straddle the balance between the monstrous and the absurd, dually prone to both the greatest of sins and the most ridiculous of shenanigans. In fact, nobody else I’ve ever met would even think to try! You are perhaps the literal only man in existence, in all of history, who has ever thought that a border shared by both ‘vile’ and ‘ridiculous’ might possibly even exist. Let alone decided to seek it out and stake his claim there as no one else ever has before or since. And there is not a single other person in the world I can ever imagine saying any of all that too instead.
Lestat: *blushes*
Lestat: Well now I feel like we should go out on the town. Let’s make a night of it!
Louis: Oh hell no. I have gone through the entire quota of foolishness I can handle in one sitting, and then some. I’m going to bed, otherwise we’re gonna end up seeing that patience I was talking about actually put to the test.
Lestat: Fine, go enjoy your lonely coffin and your solitude. Rile me up and then leave with nothing done about it and nothing to be done until you next wake. A tease, that’s what you are, Louis. A cruel and wicked tease who lures men to the edge of ruin and then leaves them poised, trembling, on that very same edge. Anticipating and dreading the fall to come in equal measure, but frozen as flies trapped in amber til you return to set them free with that one final push.
Louis: Sure. That’s the dynamic here.
Lestat: Hurry up and abandon me to my Purgatory, so you can at least return sooner than late. You haven’t even left yet and I’m bored already.
Louis: Good night Lestat.
Lestat: Its actually going to be a wretched and unbearable night now, but yes, I suppose it is still a night all the same.
Louis: Oh, actually, one last thing before I forget....I couldn’t help but notice earlier. You’d think someone who considers an indiscriminate palate that can only pick out two tastes to be such a terrible thing to be stuck with for eternity....well, someone with that view of things seems like they’d see a vampire’s lack of taste buds as something worth warning a man about before turning him into a vampire for all eternity. Weird, that.
Lestat: Oh, for - How many times must I apologize about the jambalaya, Louis? How. Many. Times?
Louis: Not sure, I just know we’re not there yet. I’ll let you know when we reach it.

Very well. Then. I have had. ... Some practice recently, telling stories. In this format. That is. To say otherwise would be a lie. But I am still. Me.
...
I have never been one. For conversation. So. Shall we, then, get right to it? From here on, a story.
Hm.
I want you to imagine a room. Any room will do. Four walls would be a common choice, five if you feel adventurous. But who is commonality to choose your room? Focus, now, on the details of this room. Are there windows? A door? Is there lighting? Or is it as dark as the night sky outside?
Oh, of course. How could it be forgotten. Window or not, let it be known that the sky is dark. The stars are trying desperately to poke through the din of a storm without rain, without thunder. But even with the assistance of the moon's ever-present nightly gaze, no light shines through.
The night is any temperature you wish it to be. For you are meant to still be imagining a room, and a room has to be inside a building, no? Then it is to be expected that you would place that building somewhere. But, no matter the ground, the grass, perhaps sand? The trees or barren wastes. It is dark. It is stormy. And it is night.
Now. Back to the room you imagined. Focus back on its form, and add whatever decor you wish. Make the room reflect you...
...For you are reflected in the room.
There is a mirror. You do not recall adding this mirror. You know nothing about it. Except that it is important to never, ever glance inside. ... Oh, you fool. Your curiosity has doomed you.
You look in the mirror.
You look in the mirror and the glass cracks. It cracks and with it the room you have so carefully constructed, so thoughtfully, a careful facade of your choice in an imagined place. It cracks apart and crumbles as you stare at the silver glass. The lights go out, the air slips through, and still you stare.
The mirror. The mirror. Who is in the mirror?
Oh, of course! It is you. You must check, of course. You caught a glimpse of a twisted shadow in your place. The room stays cracked. You know the truth as you reach out to the glass on the mirror.
You touch it.
And you feel your soul howl before you do. This mirror is strange, it is a danger! The feeling! The pain! What has it done do you? You hold your hand like a beast would scrabble at it's trapped paw. Your hand has been sliced open. The wound is bloody and raw.
You have pulled your hand away and yet! And yet! Is this not the room you made? In only your imagination? Oh you dear child of fate. You touched a mirror you did not know. And so you suffer your own decision's consequences. Shards of the past have lifted away from a reflection not yours and dug themselves into your foolish little hand.
In your desperation to understand this cruel act of yours, your own design, if not your own choice. You turn. You kneel.
The mirror. The mirror. The mirror is there for you.
When you look. When you look, this time, there is no shadow. Though the room is dark, and you are cold. You can see yourself in the glass, with only the cracks obstructing your gaze.
How? How, how, how? You could swear there was a shadow on any amount of money, and any sum of emotion. Where did it go? What was it? ... Who was it?
Silly fool, it was you!
Look again, look again!
There! There in the glass.
The mirror. The mirror. Look in the mirror!
The shadow is back, but despite knowing. Thinking. That the shadow is you. You. You. Why? Why can't you see yourself? The room is dark, and this time, the mirror is darker still, what with a shadow and no supernatural tricks to illuminate your reflection. But, earlier! You could see yourself! So why now, why now that you have looked forcefully, searching, is the shadow back again? Why?
An answer, then, in the form of a question. When you look in the mirror in the light.
Do you see yourself anymore? Or do you see who they tell you you are?
If only you had more time to know. But your time with your imagination grows short, with reality ever creeping in on a starless night in the form of a soft sunrise blocked by clouds.
Some advice, then. As the story comes to an unsatisfying end.
Stand apart, save yourself, before they take what you can not give. Your name is yours.
Your name is yours, is yours, is yours.
...
What is your name? Who are you? Oh, pity. The sun arrives and the spell is broken. Reality has gripped its claws into you again, and you must face another waking nightmare of uncertainty in routine. ... The room will be there, now. You have created it in your mind to view forever. The mirror is there too, though cracked and broken. It is there for use.
...
But. The question remains, from here and ever forward.
Will you ever let yourself face you again?
The end. Oh. I know, stereotypical. But I. Do not feel. Like writing anymore. Forgive me then, and. I. Hope. You. Enjoyed. The. ... Story.
-S
… Wow, that was… beautiful.
I really… I felt like I was there. I could have sworn I felt my hand split open.
That’s… very meaningful to me. I enjoy how you told it, it… really helped me.
Thank you, S. It’s… really appreciated…

An Antivan Torture
Fandom: Dragon Age Origins
Pairing: Zevran/Alistair
Slightly NSFW, not explicit. For @august-anon my dragon age bestie x
If Alistair had been cautious about allowing an Antivan Crow - an assassin - into their party of assorted lunatics attempting to save the world from an archdemon before he was forced into sharing a tent with him, that was nothing compared to the niggling feeling at his stomach now.
Not that he expected to have his throat slit in his sleep or anything, Zevran had proved time and again that his first loyalty was to his ‘dear Grey Warden’ Cousland, and was committed to seeing this misadventure through until the bloody end. However, Zevran had also proved that he was incapable of holding a conversation without making it unnecessarily sexual! A small part of Alistair worried that he would wake up with a sneaky Antivan hand fiddling with his laces. The rational part of him reminded that part that Zevran was flirtatious, not a pervert. 
But, one thing about Zevran was that he often tried to be helpful. Helpful, in braiding Cousland’s hair in the mornings while she cleans her weapon to save time. Helpful in massaging Leliana’s shoulders after she pulls a muscle in a fight. Helpful in attempting to remove Alistair’s armour from where it’s caught on his head.
“Dear dear, Alistair. You appear to be caught in a rather sticky situation.” Zevran chuckled as he pulled at the leather. Alistair glared. 
“Yes… Although I would say it’s more sweaty than sticky. Long day fighting darkspawn, you see.” 
“Indeed, you are a most formidable foe to any nasty darkspawn attempting to destroy Ferelden.” Zevran’s thick accent made his words sound even more sarcastic. Alistair glared more. 
“Just help me get it off. It’s stuck on my shirt.” 
Zevran laughed, a resounding chuckle, and moved his fingers to wear the clasps of the armour that were dug into the cotton of his shirt. “Hold still, I shall attempt to free you from the clutches of your cheap, Southern armour.”
“Now isn’t the time to criticise my fashion sense, Crow.” Alistair said dryly, his voice becoming ever more muffled as the armour came more loose. 
“I promise Serah, it is always the time to criticise one’s fashion. Especially when one is to be the future King of Ferelden, no?”
“No.” 
“So cynical. One more clasp and I believe you shall be-” Zevran’s deft fingers dug into the flesh of Alistair’s underarm accidentally, making him pull back with a sharp inhale. Zevran quirked an eyebrow. “Oh, what’s this? The famed Grey Warden… ticklish?” 
“Am not!” Alistair protested, his face flushed pink. With the last clasp freed from his shirt, he quickly shimmied the armour the rest of the way over his head. “You just, uh, shocked me! You with your sneaky assassin hands, who wouldn’t be shocked?”
“I see,” Zevran nodded, playing along gleefully. “Of course, Grey Wardens cannot be ticklish. Especially not Alistair, slayer of Darkspawn and evil apostates!”
“You’re teasing me again, aren’t you?” Alistair said warily. Zevran chuckled.
“My dear Alistair, I would never!” He crawled closer to his tent mate. “However, you have made the fateful mistake of showing a trained assassin your weakness.” 
Alistair crawled backwards, eyes locked on Zevran’s fingers, his mouth curling into a smile already. “Don’t you dare, someone will come running-” 
“Why should they? If you are, as you say, not ticklish, then I shall look a fool and we can both proceed with sleeping. Unless you told a fib?” Zevran’s fingers walked across the floor of the tent until they were scarily close to Alistair’s side. Come to think of it, Zevran was scarily close to being on top of him. “Because we crows do not take kindly to fibs.” 
“I didn’t fib! Honest!” Alistair couldn’t help the giggle that slipped past his lips, which only egged Zevran on.
“For the sake of us both, I intend to check.” He pounced, pulling Alistair’s legs so he was on his back, then shifting quickly so he straddled the Warden. Alistair struggled, but not using his full power, Zevran noticed.
“Zevran!” 
“That is my name. Zev, to my friends.” He winked. His hands rested atop Alistair’s belly. “Are you sure you weren’t fibbing to me, Alistair?”
Alistair eyed him warily, and after a moment of inner turmoil, blurted out, “Do your worst, Zev.”
This surprised Zevran for all of a second before he reacted, a broad grin spreading across his face. “If you insist, your majesty!” 
Alistair shrieked into his hands as Zevran’s hands came down like a flurry of tickly magic across his belly, very aware of the others asleep in their own tents. 
“Indeed, it seems you were fibbing! Tut tut, my darling Alistair, you shall have to be punished.”
Alistair wriggled underneath his friend, trying desperately to both escape and conceal his laughter at the same time. It didn’t help in the slightest that while his worst spots were being tortured, Zevran was letting loose a stream of pet names and teases that made his innards squirm.
“Ticklish here, sweet Warden? My dear, aren’t you in trouble, I should hate to be tickled like I am tickling you. It seems to be torturous. But you are laughing, so it cannot be all bad. I love your laughter, I would like to hear more of it. Are your hips ticklish too, darling? Let us discover together.”
Alistair’s laughter had moved from giggles to belly laughs to squeals in very quick succession, and he was sure he heard his fellow Warden cough loudly from the tent next to them, but he found himself no longer caring.
“Lie still, you’re making it increasingly hard for me to tickle you while you wiggle like that.” 
“Stop!” Alistair choked out through his giggles. Zevran’s hands moved with demonic precision, focusing on the spots that made Alistair buck and laugh the hardest.
“Stop what, exactly? The tickling, or the ferocious teasing that makes you squirm so?”
“Both!” 
Zevran chuckled, his fingertips gliding across his friend's waistline. “Dearest Alistair, you are simply delicious.” 
“I am not! Cheese is delicious, I am a person under siege by an Antivan loony!”
“Now now, insulting the man who is situated on top of you is not, perhaps, the best way to convince him to move.” Zevran’s hands drifted across his belly, relishing in the way it made Alistair giggle and squirm. “Not that you could. I will stay here until I am tired of hearing your delightful laughter, which could be hours, days, or months.”
“Zehehehevran pleahehehehehese!” Alistair begged, feeling tears roll down his cheeks. Zevran tutted, halting his attack to wipe them away. 
“I apologise. Did I take it too far? I am known for that.” 
“No, no,” Alistair spoke before he thought. As usual. “It was… sort of nice.”
“Sort of?” Zevran slid off his friend, a warm smile on his face. “Should I endeavour to do it again some time?”
“I wouldn’t say no.” Alistair blushed, smiling back.

Monsters And Mana 2 - Save The World, Get The Girl - Chapter 3
Character:  Keith Kogane, Pidge Gunderson/Katie Holt, Lance McClain, Hunk Garrett, Shirogane Takashi, Coran, Princess Allura, Matt Holt
Pairings:  Keith/Pidge
Warnings!:  This is going to be one looooonnnggg fic! I think? So far I'm barely into the plot and I have four chapters, so let's see how far we go! I'll add warnings as they come up!
Summary: King Matt reveals their mission, secrets are revealed, and Shiro hasn't given up on his paladin dreams!
A/N: Forgive me, peeps, for I have sinned! Well, not really, but I had to go out today, I still have toothache, and I have to go out again tomorrow. I'm hoping to get some writing done but if not I will be a day behind on chapters! My sincerest apologies and hope to catch up really soon!
Tumblr media
Chapter 3
‘It is I!  King Z’opetes!’
Matt burst in through the doors at the back of the room, making everyone but Coran jump. 
‘Quiznak, Matt, you jerk!  What the hell!?’  Pidge scowled at him from where she had jumped halfway up the back of the booth, almost onto Keith’s shoulders.
‘I am not Matt, I am King Z’opetes.’  He stalked dramatically into the room with a paper crown on his head.  ‘Welcome to my kingdom, fair warriors, your highness.’  He bobbed his head to Keith.
‘Uh…’  Keith hesitated, everybody looking at him to continue the conversation.  ‘Thank you for your invitation.  Might I ask why the sudden summons?’
‘Oh, very good.’  Coran applauded quietly.  ‘You almost had me fooled that you had a good upbringing!  Carry on.’
‘Our countries have had their ups and down.’  Matt strutted around the table to where Pidge was settling back down in her seat.  ‘But I ask for your aid now not as your neighbouring regent but as your friend.  I ask all of you for help.’  He looked between the rest of the party.  ‘My sweet sister, Quieta, has been abducted!’
‘I’ve what now?’  Pidge looked up at the sound of her character’s name.
‘Stolen away in the dead of night!’  Matt mock swooned against Pidge despite her best efforts to push him off.  ‘My dear, sweet baby sister!  Oh, what fate may befall her if you refuse!’
‘Nerd.’  Pidge coughed into her hand, receiving a flick to the side of her head from Matt for her interruption.
‘Quieta was kidnapped?’  Hunk asked, leaning on the table as though it would get him more information.  ‘Any idea who by?’
‘It can only be the dastardly Snagrorians!  If they succeed and we lose her forever, our alliance will never come to be!’  Matt mock sobbed into his hands.
‘Wait, why does Pidge’s character being kidnapped have anything to do with the alliance with our country?’  Lance asked.
‘Firstly, this.’  He whipped a scroll out of his jacket with a flourish that honestly impressed Pidge.  He had props!  Keith took it from him as he informed them of its contents.  ‘This claims that Qiomend is responsible for her abduction and your participation, Prince Theo, would prove this false.  For what kind of a prince would you be if you did not even try and rescue your betrothed?’
‘My what?’
‘His what?’
‘Oh are they?’
Keith, Pidge, and Lance all spoke at once, Keith and Pidge in surprise, Lance in exaggerated amusement, which earned him a punch to the thigh under the table from Allura.
‘It’s all for the game.’  Coran reminded them.  ‘Which we won’t have time to finish if you don’t get a move on.’
‘What say you?’  Matt all but yelled regally.  ‘You, my dearest sister’s future husband,’ he touched Keith’s shoulder before moving on to Shiro, ‘master thief, Snagrore’s greatest bounty hunter,’
‘Hunk did it, game over!’  Lance pointed.  ‘You’re from the country to blame!  You have to be behind it somehow!’
‘Except for this!’  Coran revealed his own scroll and thew it open on the table for everyone to see.  What lay before them was a wanted poster with a pencil drawing of Hunk’s face.  ‘You see, Lore Greyarrow has a bounty on his head from his own country.  He’s one of their greatest enemies.’
‘Yeah, Lance.’  Hunk flashed him a glare before picking up the wanted poster.  ‘Hey, when this is done can I have this for my wall?’
‘Ahem!’  Matt cleared his throat loudly before continuing.  ‘And finally you, Mylaerla.  You have been chosen for your tracking skills.  You will lead them to wherever my sister is being held and save her before anything terrible happens to her!  Do you accept my quest?’
‘If I say no can I roll up a paladin instead?’  Shiro asked.
‘No!’  Coran threw a pen at him.
‘Fine.  I accept.’
‘So do I.’  Keith stated emphatically.  ‘We can’t let them get away with this.  If we can prove it’s Snagrore then we can assume this is an act of war.  If any harm comes to her…’
‘I trust you to get her back.’  Matt was impressed by how seriously Keith was taking the game.  ‘You all have skills that will aid in her rescue.  Mylaerla?’
‘Thank you, Your Majesty.’  Allura looked around the group.  ‘My intelligence shows that the princess is being held in this region.’

Mr. Schadenfreude [English Translyrics] Mr.シャーデンフロイデ
Original Song by Hitoshizuku × Yama△ Translyric reference from Official Upload
»»————- ♡ ————-««
To bring salvation to an old sin, a revenge for new life to begin As if a devil is playing games, curtain calling SCHADENFREUDE Despair that cannot fade with kisses, hanging on the edge with short wishes Embrace your life as it’s always been (INFINITE)
I have decreed, a devil within one of thee Brought to life through a power you shan’t see For blood he thirsts, a corruption of worse beyond the worst As a vessel he’ll choose one of you fiends
A voice devoid of life, the priest reads out what the harsh words endowed As the 5th cries out painful tears, the mortician starts embalming This is only the start, this game of life or death begins here There’s no end unless the human race or the devil disappears
It’s one of us?! This is a joke, no?! The 1st is dead! Who hurt her so? Whether the game, my death, the devil or what, I don’t give a damn HUH? So who did it, show yourself this instant! This devil you speak of, its nonexistent Don’t worry, I, the knight, will protect you with all I am
Creating false truths and deceiving? Not half a day and there’s a GAMBIT Where’s the reason within us asking: ARE YOU MR. SCHADENFREUDE? Who’s fate resembles the Hanged Man card? Who’s being swayed by the devil’s part? We’ll make sure this ends no other way! (MASSAKER?)
I have decreed, a devil within one of thee Has brought down your dearest knight you shan’t see For blood I thirst, corruption of worse beyond the worst As punishment I’ll slay all of you fiends
A voice devoid of life, the priest reads out what the harsh words endowed As the 2nd’s anger flares, the mortician starts embalming Isn’t this salvation for everyone who’s suffered more? If this damned cruel plot continues, then what was all this for?
I’ll have that dastard hung dead by the next sunrise I’ll kill that bastard, I will bring his own demise! Why does it matter? This kind of talk is mediocre! Oh, please shut up! You want someone to blame?! Then you can blame me, hang me if it’ll end this game! Humor me for a moment, but our dear 2nd, why did the Knight have your choker?
Even if we suspect in cruel ways, giving our say revokes our Buße (busse) Bring down the devil no matter cost, fall to your knees SCHADENFREUDE! Pray as much as your hands can handle, tickets to life lit by a candle Until the curtain falls, we won’t stop (RICHTEN)
The bell of dawn chimes out without a sound in the air As if protecting the Priest from the depths of despair
Outside the church’s gates, lays the 4th drenched in her blood In the note she left behind it says “CAN SOMEBODY SAVE,” no, “KILL ME PLEASE?”
You would rather save our human souls While feigning ignorance in your childish devil game? The cruel joy in misery singing out “How euphoric this all feels, other’s pain!” Can’t believe this is someone’s desire They would take the devil for a fool Who’s the one who decided to place their faith in “tools”
The mortician holding the dead licked his lips Satan hidden in a necrophiliac’s dry kiss How could we be so foolish when the devil was truly him all along! So? You should’ve guessed, since I’m a professional I’d find corpses carnally exceptional And all those bodies that made me an animal Were breathing once, you know?
What blatant lies and quick excuses! The more you speak, more you turn FOOLISH May the one behind this please stand down: YOU ARE MR. SCHADENFREUDE! After the punished have deserved most, the two that lived cheer and make a toast But I think I’m the one deceived… Oh, my closest 3rd, oh, may you now rest in peace…
The Devil’s world with no salvation, let us dance a dance of your damnation It is time for the final act, I will wish you all a GOLDEN SLUMBER This graceful dream, the curtains aglow, I will now be the last one to go No matter where you may look, none will remain And the story ends with no one saved…again.

9/7 - Pawn
Tumblr media
"Hydaelyn… She speaks to me. I must remain behind… but you cannot stay with me. Please you must go on! You are the Warrior of Light! You are hope - for the Scions, and for all the realm! As long as your flame continues to burn, the light of dawn may ever be relit!”
---
"We did everything right, everything that was asked of us, and still - still it came to this! You of all people should understand! We cannot - we will not falter. We brought our world to the brink of destruction, and now we must save it."
They had crystals like hers. They had come from a reflection, desperate to save their world. Desperate enough to take any had that stretched out to them. Even the Ascians. Norhi wept for them. Not that her tears swayed their determined face. She didn’t know how to help them. But then Urianger’s voice rose up. He invoked a prayer to Louisoix, before turning insistent eyes to Norhi. "Quickly! Thou must needs invoke the power of thy crystal!"
Not knowing what else to do, she pulled out her own Crystal of Light and held it aloft in answer to the Warriors of Darkness. The magic swelled and rose around them, blinding her eyes. And when it cleared, they stood in the aetherial sea, upon that so familiar circle of runes.
And Her voice came, "Such pain… Such sorrow… Oh, my dear children…"
Norhi watched as Urianger made his plea and Minfilia came to them, freed by the offering of Light from their crystals. And though at first the Warriors were angry, they finally accepted her help. And then, Norhi felt her heart start to break, seeing that she was losing her friend a second time.
"Have we not walked together in the light of the Crystal, and at Her bidding borne witness to the joys and sorrows of this land? Each and every one of you knows my heart. If this be the price I must pay, I pay it gladly."
Norhi managed to smile for Minfilia, accepting the gift of Tupsimati’s shard, grateful to get to say goodbye.
But as they were about to leave, their leader Arbert, stepped forward. "Hear me, servant of Hydaelyn. If you would have us place our trust in you, then I would ask a favor. We were blind to the truth once. So I tell you this, as one fool to another. Light, Dark, it doesn't matter. What matters is how you choose to use them. We made our choice, and you see what came of it. So please… forge a different path. Seize a better fate."
---
Norhi helped Urianger prepare gifts for the pixies, so that they might start their journey to Il Mheg’s lightwarden. And she watched as Minfilia brought in the imbued ammunition for Thancred. Urianger then had Minfilia go choose a book for their journey. And Norhi had to smile at the girl’s excitement. She thought then, that Urianger had quite the fatherly nature to him.
That mood sobered quickly, when Urianger turned to Thancred. “Hast thou spoken to her of thine encounter with the Minfilia of eld?”
Norhi turned to look at Thancred with mild shock. She supposed it was entirely possible. Though, she’d assumed with the presence of the Oracles, that their Minfilia was gone. She watched Thancred cross his arms and begin to tell her of the story, just as the echo intervened.
The scene in Amh Araeng was almost familiar now, dusty and dry. But hearing her Minfilia’s voice, come out of this young woman was disconcerting to say the least. "My dearest Thancred… As I am now, I am no different from an Asican. This child is but a vessel. One of many I have used, that I might spread word of Her enduring blessing and preserve the flame of hope. In my name, each has died never having lived her own life. I have taken enough from these children. I will take no more."
Norhi watched Thancred beg and Minfilia insist on this girl having her choice, instead of being only the pawns her predecessors were. And Norhi wondered how many times her heart could break, over losing the same friend.
As the echo faded, Thancred continued his story, "I've told her many things - where we came from, what we fight for. But of that day, I have not spoken."
Norhi knew her own grief would never match Thancred’s in these moments. So, she asked the only question she felt mattered, "How do you want this to end?"
Thancred’s silence spoke more than words could mean.
Urianger broke the grief filled moment, with a reminder of their burden. "With the coming of another possessed of the blessing of Light, the First hath begun to rise up in defiance of its fate. The question remaineth, however… Who shall take up the flame of hope which Minfilia hath born for so long? Whether we will it or no, the choice must soon be made."
Norhi nodded and then looked up as the doors opened and Minfilia entered. Norhi almost laughed, for the size of the book she carried. It was easily as wide as her thin shoulders.
Minfilia’s smile was warm, if a bit sheepish. "I'm sorry I took so long. It was so hard to choose. In the end, I settled on just the one."
Norhi shook her head and smiled back. She may have lost her own Minfilia. But she could save this one, still yet.
