My personal take on the Kindness soul, a sweet kid named Robin. (She/They) 💚
Robin was the child to fall right before Clover did and was their motivation for hunting for all of the missing humans in the first place. Two very good friends that tragically lost each other much too soon.
Bonus Art and some info on her below! 💕
First, the last art of Clover and Robin, now without the ghost-ness!
Tumblr media
Now for some notes and headcanons:
Robin is 13 years old. So is Clover.
Came from a troubled household where she wasn't very loved or cared for. Robin and Clover had this in common and would meet to check on each other and play games/explore the woods to forget for a while.
Used to live with her grandmother, who was a very sweet and caring woman that taught her everything she knows when it comes to cooking. When her grandmother passed away, she was put under the care of her aunt, who only took her in for the checks she gets out of her as a right of custody.
A very talented chef. Robin is a natural improviser when cooking and has made a lot of interesting and delicious recipes as a result. They used this talent to make healing foods while they were underground.
Possibly spent the longest time with Toriel out of all of the kids at about a month or so. Living years with a guardian that didn't love her made her quickly attach to one that did care for her.
Ended up leaving the Ruins by mistake after being too curious of the exit and getting herself locked out. She wasn't able to wait for Toriel to find her as she had to avoid getting caught by Royal Guard sentries. (This one mistake eventually led to Robin's demise, even if she did have an adventure before her inevitable end.)

Oh my god I woke up this morning and my Stardew Valley meta post had almost 150 notes????? Hello?????????? Anyways I started writing this last night because @moon-is-pretty-tonight left nice tags on the original so thank you so much!!
We know from the starting scenes of the game that the farmer's grandfather loved Stardew Valley. So why did he leave? Pelican Town is a good place to grow old; George and Evelyn are just fine. It's a fine place to raise a kid, but maybe he just wanted to raise his child closer to real schools and other children.
Or maybe, just maybe, he understood.
Was there a day when he was in his thirties where he looked at his friends and realized they weren't like him? That he could run faster than them, work longer, explore deeper into the hidden places of the valley?
Was there a day when he went to the wizard to ask him for help, for knowledge if nothing else? Did he learn then that his family was different? Special? Chosen? And how did he react? He couldn't possibly raise a child in the valley if they would be as strange and fey as him. He had to leave. There was no other way.
But years later, on his deathbed, did he regret that choice?
Is that why he gave the farmer the letter?
Is that why they went back home?
When the farmer steps off the bus that first day, the valley is still on the cusp of winter, just barely tipping over into spring. The flowers are starting to bloom, but a chill still hangs in the air. As soon as the farmer's boots touch the soil there's a change. The air gets warmer. The trees get greener. Not by too much, not all at once, but it changes.
The junimos watch the farmer as they do their work. They're new to farming, but take to it with frightening speed; their first batch of crops is perfect. None of the townsfolk tell them that parsnips don't normally grow in less than a week, that cauliflowers don't grow to be ten feet tall, that fairies don't visit when the sun goes down and grow potatoes and beans and tulips overnight. The junimos talk amongst themselves in their strange, wild language, and agree: this is the one. They're back. The valley recognizes its own, even when they've left for a generation. The farmers have come home.
Things change fast in the valley. The community center, empty and decrepit for so many years, is rejuvenated. (Lewis says it was abandoned only a few weeks after the farmer's grandfather left. Strange coincidence, he says, that it both came and went with the farmer's family.) The mines and the quarry, similarly abandoned, are explored for the first time in ages. The town becomes cleaner, brighter, more vibrant, happier.
And it is happier. Not just the environment, but the people. It's the talk of the town for weeks when Haley does her first closet purge. Leah's art show in the town square is a huge success. Shane's smiling for the first time since he moved to the valley. All of them, when asked, say it's all thanks to the farmer.
People love to ask why Lewis didn't fix the community center on his own. Why Willy never repaired the boat to ginger island. Why Abigail or Marlon never went down to fix the elevator in the mines, or why Clint didn't fix the minecarts.
But isn't it so much more interesting to ask how those things were there in the first place? How they got so broken down? If the stories the townspeople tell are true, the valley was once a beautiful place, flourishing and full of life; why did that change? When did it change?
Was it when the farmer's grandfather, the locus of the valley, its chosen representative, left town?
And if so, what happens when the farmer comes back?

You can't tell me that this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
doesn't have the same energy as this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nor that this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
doesn't have the same energy as this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And similarly this
Tumblr media
doesn't have the same energy as this
Tumblr media
In that, whatever we think we're being shown in a trailer doesn't necessarily mean what we think it means.
Because surely you remember that this from the BBS ep 12 trailer
Tumblr media
became this in the show
Tumblr media
I don't for one second believe what we're being shown in the Last Twilight ep 12 trailer...apart from the colours, of course...because as we've seen umpteen times before, the colours don't lie.
And both Night and their mom are wearing Mhok's blue here, alongside Day who has a mixture of Mhok's blue, his own green...and Night's brown.
Tumblr media
I haven't had time to properly write about the design of this show (oh there have been so many things I've wanted to mention) but I do think Night is colour-coded brown, as shown brilliantly in ep 10's dinner scene, with Day wearing Mhok's blue in front (because he had plans to go and see him) and Night's brown behind...because as has been shown time and again, Night has always had Day's back.
Tumblr media
And with Night in a very vibrant blue at the end of ep 11, I firmly trust that he will have both Day and Mhok's back in ep 12, and that whatever the trailer for ep 12 is trying to make us think will happen will turn out to be another one of Aof's cleverly crafted ruses designed to make us lose our minds for a week.
Tumblr media
Must I remind you?
NEVER TRUST A THAI TRAILER
AND CERTAINLY NOT AN AOF NOPPHARNACH EPISODE TRAILER.

my personal pipe dream is that one monday the egg statistics drop and flippa (and maybe tilin) are just there. at the end. with one heart, and one gray checkmark.
what i imagine is the server flips their shit. alive!!! alive!!! but they log in and they don't see the eggs. instead they get a message. i do not care who it's from or how it's delivered. they're told the eggs are being held captive somewhere, but they're alive. all that's left is to find them, before sunday at midnight pst. bc if their tasks aren't done, they die (one checkmark, one quest set. once rescued they become triple check like the other eggs)
slimeriana come CRASHING back into the server, they don't know jack shit, ESPECIALLY mariana who doesn't recognize 90% of the island anymore but holy fuck, flippa is alive somewhere and they have to find her. and maybe mariana's still in the old server days mindset of raising his kid alone but slime's slowly been indoctrinated into "it takes a village" and honestly the absolute second mariana logs on, someone's gonna be in chat already like HEY MARIANA CAN I TALK TO YOU? be it baghera or cellbit or forever or bad or I DON'T KNOW, COULD GENUINELY BE ANYONE LMAO but like mystery and eggs in danger is chumming the water for this server
which is great bc A) mariana has a concrete goal for logging into the server (finding his daughter) and B) he would be interacting with the rest of the server along the way, because he's not going to be doing this alone (he wouldn't even be allowed lmfao the rest of the server would be at his doorstep asking to help him in like 15 seconds flat) which means C) he might get reasons to log in extending outside flippa and slime. bingooooo
i call this a pipe dream bc i can poke so many holes in this even rn (does cc!mariana want flippa back, like fr? i'm not up to date) but can you IMAGINE. LIKE DAMN. i'm putting this idea into the public domain fr go nuts with it.

Broken Birdcage - Pissa fic by Kalcifer
Hurt/comfort
CW: all of the side effects of being locked in a cage with no real way to take care of yourself? Self hating issues, mild suicidal thought (nothing is graphic but it is in there so be warned!!!)
(please let me know if you guys want me to write more fics I honestly had so much fun writing this :DD)
He did not know how long it had been since he was first trapped.
The hours crawled on into days and the days bled into nights and nights shuffled into what had to have been a week.
It couldn't be more than a week, could it? Philza couldn't tell at this point. His talons bloody from the scratching against the walls, his right shoulder bruised from slamming himself against the sealed door. His throat horse and strained from screaming.
At some point he had to force himself to stop crying, he realised the first night that he had an extremely limited water supply, one that would not last very long. Crying meant dehydration, which meant he was back to his old, long habits of forcing everything so far down he felt numb.
Everything was numb at this point, it was the only thing that distracted him from the violence that poisoned his blood. Not just at the Federation that kept him here, or that took his darling eggs from him. No, the hatred he felt for himself was so much more apparent at that moment.
He couldn't help but look back to that last night they shared, just hours before his capture. How gently he was held as Missa showed him how to dance- his heart had been racing the whole time, the pictures he snuck of him when he wasn't looking, wasn't appreciating just how stunning he looked in the moment. Leaving him behind with that empty promise that he would see him again soon.
Of course it was a trap. How could he have been so stupid to fall for it? He's never going to see his eggs again now because of it. Or Etolis or Forever or Fit or Tubbo- or.. or Missa. God how could he have left Missa with an empty promise like that.
Phil choked back another sob, he never did get to tell him that he did love him.
He wasn't sure how much Missa truly knew how much he loves him, Missa was always so open about it- he was just so unapologetically proud to be that close to Philza. He should have said something, he should have appreciated every moment they shared because now he was trapped and would never get to appreciate him again.
He slipped off into dreams. Long hazy dreams that felt so real, but slightly uncanny at the same time, they where like memories just not his memories, because these where not moments he got to have with the person he should've called his husband.
Gentle moments before getting up in the mornings, sickingly sweet domestic bliss of times they should've spent as a family together- eating dinner and then putting the kids to bed to spend an evening where they did nothing but silently appreciate the others company. Philza could even feel his ghost grace his skin and kiss him in a way he could only dream about.
Because this was a dream, and he woke up back in the birdhouse. Still hurt and sore and that ache in his eyes from crying and the pain that coursed through his wings since they had been clipped similar to the hope chipping away with every passing moment.
He screamed once more, this time at his Lady, begging her for some kind of release- some way to not feel the way he does. Maybe that way he would know if his beautiful eggs were in her care.
His Lady did not respond to him, the same way she never did when he asked her of such things, he knows he'll eventually be greatful for her decision. But in the moment, the avain can only feel the cry of his unkempt wings and the hurt he feels in every bone of his body and that curdling, roar of inescapable violence that poisoned his veins.
He knew that when if he ever got his talons on that fucking bear, he'd rip it to shreds with nothing but his bare teeth.
But there was nothing he could do, but lay and wait and hope for sleep to come over him once more, hopefully he'd go back to Missa in his dreams and feel the phantom touches of his ghost comfort him once more.
It was like that- alone, curled up on the ground, unwashed, unkempt and waiting for his Lady that he heard it- voices- outside? They where so close just on the other side of the wall.
Sparks of hope shot through him like electricity- he tried to yell out but there was no yell left in him. It didn't matter though because it seemed like they knew he was there. All Philza could do was pull himself onto his shaking legs to stand up- leaning against the wall as he did so. The lack of any food for days eating away at his strength by the second.
In the end, the rescue team didn't even attempt the door- they just busted the wall down using some TNT. Phil couldn't help but joke to himself that it was so beautifully chaotic of them, not wanting to wait another second.
The first person to greet Philza was his beloved partner- the person comforting him through his ghost this whole time. Phil could only collapse into his shoulder when he got to his side. That look in his eyes- though covered by his skull mask- is not one he could, and won't, ever put on Missa's face again.
Missa was beyond worried to see the state of his husband- he looked so broken down, so tired, it was clear by the looks on everyone else, especially Tubbo's that none of them had ever seen the man like this. And all he could do was run those gentle finger through tatted hair and whisper promises into his ear.
Missa had to carry him home- he was moments away from collapsing again that he couldn't risk even letting him attempt to walk for himself. Philza had basically torn apart the Gapples they gave him, and the healing potions and water.
It didn't mean that Philza wasn't still hurting all over, in fact the opposite was true- if anything the healing potions did absolutely nothing to drown out any pain, all they did was heal the injury causing it. Meaning Missa spent their whole trip home constantly checking over Philza's broken beautiful face for any signs of discomfort.
They had spent hours together. Missa helping Philza heal and recover and led him back to a open and welcoming bath and nest.
It was just an hour or so later, once Missa heard the sounds of the bath being unplugged and the sounds of slow movement when he saw Philza re-emerge, still hurt and bruised, but significantlt better. He didn't say a word, not from a lack of trying, but the look in his eyes said everything that was needed to be said
Philza stood shakingly in front of him, with damp, unbrushed hair and dripping wings, wearing an old robe. Missa couldn't tell if it was the robe or the general vulnerability that made Philza seem so much smaller than usual.
No words where said for no words could be spoken for Philza to ever fully express how much he loved the man in front of him. Especially after today. It wasn't long before Missa suddenly felt his arms wrap themselves around his middle as the blondes head nussled into his chest. Gripping him so tightly as if he'd disappear at any moment if he didn't.
The taller of the two whispered sweet promises to the avain. Kissing his forehead as gently as his fingers traced the others face and held him impossibly closer.
The lines of hurt on the avains face remained, but they lifted ever so slightly as Missa kissed him in that ghostly familiar way. The way that sent him crying into his shoulder once more, the way that made him know for certain that he was not going anywhere.
They both went to bed that night, cuddled up tightly against each other. Missa tracing circles into Philza's side, relaxing him and making him chirp. Missa didn't bring it up, hoping to hear that beautiful bird song for the rest of time.
It was Philza who fell asleep first, exuhsted from- everything and now with the comfort of knowing that Missa knew. Missa knows just how much he loves him.
And he's going to make sure he never forgets that.

A Dhampir's Dietary Needs
Pairing: Astarion x F!Reader/Tav/Durge
Word Count:1588
Your recent studies on vampires led you to research their offspring, dhampirs. One of these books shows how the diet of a dhampir is never as simple as it seems. (Tw: Mainly domestic fluff, Dhampirs and their diets, light mentions of flesh, blood and cerebral spinal fluid but never in graphic detail)
As Promised here is a lighter fluff fic to balance out The Chains That Bind Us
In the lone, abandoned, fortress, deep in the Underdark in a small house, Tav lay on her shared bed, deep into her research on vampire species in hopes of a better understanding or cure. The abandoned fortress grows, day by day as more and more spawn find the haven in hopes of regaining a semblance of normal life.
Her recent studies have led her to read about the various subspecies of vampires, dhampirs, half-vampire half-mortal creatures, who live life like a vampire but with none of the restrictions of one. Allowed to walk through the sun without being turned to ash. 
However, dhampirs were not free from the curse their undead parent had bestowed on them, although they could resist the hunger pains via consuming food, each dhampir seemed to have unique tastes for certain life sources.
A sudden shift of weight onto the bed interrupted her train of thought, “Hosting book club tonight without me darling, how rude” your pale lover teased, taking off his armour to lie down next to you. 
Astarion had finished his rounds on the fortress with the other vampire spawn, looking as if he was ready to collapse at any moment.
“Did Petras cause trouble for you again star?”, 
You knew that some of the new spawn would have caused one or two issues during their first few days in the colony but Petras seemed to be a beacon for it but still managed to stay in the group either through luck or pity, much to Astarion's annoyance.
“No.. not today, just that it's quiet….for once,” He says with a heavy sigh. Quickly he cuddles up next to you on the shared bed, now wearing his class white shirt.
“I see you still have your head stuck in those dusty notes, any new skills that I can show off darling?” he spoke with a grin, the thought of him discovering another vampiric ability that he never knew before fills him with glee. 
Reminding you of when awoke to him hanging upside down from the ceiling a few days after the defeat of the netherbrain, scaring the hells out of you.
Turning your attention back to the book, he wasn’t wrong about it being dusty though as you found it after the defeat of Cazador in his manor, was a collection of books about vampires written by the mysterious Lady Incognita had been a great assistance with the advancements into the colony, through the knowledge of vampiric biology to diseases. However, this book differed from the others, written by a scholar in Ravenloft centuries ago who did personal interviews with dhampirs.
Facing the elf, you spoke, “We can read it together if you’d like?”.
He lets out a soft hmph he knows how he can get lost in your voice all day, entranced by you like a siren, although with less of the murder part.
“By all means my love, go ahead, Gods knows how many I’ve read to you, it’s only fair that you spoil me this time.” He responded with a fanged grin.
Quickly trying to recompose yourself, clearing your throat, you start reading the chapter.
' Throughout my research on dhampirs, I have discovered that each of the participants has special dietary needs, while most dhampirs have the pangs of hunger to consume blood, as shown by their lineage from vampires or spawn, there are a small few who seem to break this norm, by having acquired different tastes. '
' One of the participants was shown to have the urge to consume flesh or raw meat, usually, they would consume the meat of animals over humanoid flesh. '
“Urgh, you’re reminding me of awful gnolls we had to fight” he muttered with a look of disgust on his face as he spoke. “I mean blood is much better to deal with, and besides it’s less of a mess on the clothing….and the smell isn’t as bad either…” He mutters to himself quietly.
' One interesting dhampir I studied, talked about how they were attacked by a rare vampiric illithid but were lucky enough to survive the attack. In most cases, dhampirs have a hunger towards blood, but this participant has their diet curated towards the cerebral spinal fluid in the body, preferring to drink from animals and thieves. ’
“I think we’ve had our fair share of bathing in illithid slime throughout our adventure with the mind flayers, and curating to the diet of one is just….. urk ” Holding back a lump in his throat, the thought of someone willing to consume such things is too much.
“Hmm, a vampiric illithid though,” you ponder,  “I haven’t heard of that before” With a pause, you turn to him “Do you think the tadpole would have made you one?”
“Please don’t finish that thought darling, I don’t want to recall the illithid parts of our adventures.”
With a quick sleight of hand, he takes the book from you, skipping a few pages ahead in the entry. Before swiftly handing it back to you. “There, this should be an interesting read and less of the tentacle diet”.
'While most dhampirs prefer to feast upon physical sources from living creatures, there is a small group who target that of the mental energy in creatures.'
' Some dhampirs aren't always made by a vampiric transformation being interrupted or by being an offspring of one. One was infected by a mind flayer tadpole and their body rejected the parasite, which as a result halted the ceremorphosis process, but caused a mutation in them of wanting to feast on people's psychic energy .'
“I’m sure just being around Petras does that anyway” he grumbled.
You respond to his remark with a simple “mm-hmm”, knowing how much the simple-minded questions he asks seem to have the ability to drain your mental energy for the rest of the day. Living up to Astarion’s claim when you first met him in Farygo’s flop house a few months ago on your adventures.
' Other forms of mental energy that they consume are dreams. Through other living creatures who can dream via sleep or trance. Despite the other forms of hunger seeming to be harmful to others, or hard to obtain, this form of hunger has no negative side effects for those who fall victim and is a good cure against night terrors but will leave the victim slightly forgetful the next day '
You wait for his next witty jab to come along after you finish reading out the last line, only to be greeted with a bout of nothing but his knotted brow, lost in his thoughts before his mouth began to open once again, slowly this time.
“Good against night terrors….”
It leaves his lips like a stray afterthought.
Even after creating a better life together for both of you in the Underdark, escaping from the horrors of your previous lives to create something new. The one unavoidable thing is the memories that it leaves. Especially the effect on beings who go into a trance forced to relive the situation. 
Ever so slowly you reach out to touch his hand that lay flat, resting on the soft covers. 
His skin is cold to the touch, you softly squeeze it to reassure him of your presence, his safety, 
pulling him out of his musing.
His head snapped back to glaze into your eyes, and a soft smile greets you.
“I’m sorry, my sweet, I was just lost in my thoughts then”
“I-I can stop reading for now if you want me to-” Your voice was abruptly cut off.
His cold fingers touch your lips before he opens his mouth to speak once again.
“It’s fine love, carry on, this is what I want , to hear your voice.” His hand moves to cup your cheek, kissing your forehead lightly with a soft peck.
Reminding you that creating these moments of comfort is the best counterweight to the years of misery thrust upon you both.
“So” Astarion declared “Are you going to continue spoiling me with tonight's reading session?” 
“Huh-? oh um yes” snapping your face back to the book, heat still clinging to your face.
Reaching the last section of the chapter you speak aloud clearing a lump in your throat.
'The last form of hunger I was unable to a living dhampir but ancient texts describe those who drain the life energy from living creatures, similar to the spells of necromancy magic, they sustain their hunger by sucking the life essence from others.'
Reading that last sentence sends a shiver down your spine, the thought of someone constantly feeding off a part of you that can’t be replaced naturally, slowly draining you day after day.
“Hmm, you know, we could just get Gale to sort that out when we cross that line”
“Besides, he ate most of our magic items back when we were adventuring, he’d know a thing or two about that.”
Giving him a light jab in the side, he shifts off the bed stretching his limbs to stand up. 
“This was a nice lecture love, but I must be off now, I’ll start preparing dinner for you”.
Watching him descend the stairs, silently hoping that he won’t burn your food to ash this time.
Ensuring you were out of earshot, muttering to himself, “a dhampir….Hmm, I wonder what ours would be like.” Would they still crave blood, but enjoy the appetite of the living? Or would they crave something else entirely?
A light laugh leaves him, seems that’s a story for another day.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was a very sickly sweet piece I enjoyed writing, even if I had a bit of trouble with the fluff scenes to the point where I thought it might be too sweet for me.
I might write more domestic/dhampir stuff if you guys are interested.

you know i am absolutely delighted by disciples era au. like, for the liushen potential, obviously, but i also can't stop thinking about a situation where sqq spends all of his free time trying to get evidence on sqh being a traitor, while sqh is frantically wondering wtf he did to piss sqq off so bad, because he certainly didn't write sqq having a huge grudge against the original goods!!
and eventually sqq does get definitive proof of sqh's traitorous behavior, only for sqq to discover that sqh is also a transmigrater. probably through sqh doing a harebrained scheme of trying to buy sqq's silence by offering to tell him his future.
and because sqh is a fellow transmigrator (even if he is annoying), sqq has to do a frantic dash to cover for sqh's misdeeds before sqq outs him even more than he already has. he bitches out sqh the entire time as he does this because he COULD have been reading the new installment of whatever fiction came out of xian shu this entire time but nooooooo, he had to waste all of his time chasing after this stupid author who isn't even a good spy and is APPARENTLY just doing the spy work to get some demon ass!! what kind of plotline is this?? of course it came out of the author who gave him the garbage he's stuck living in.
the funny thing is, this is actually what does convince people that sqh is a traitor. because sqq has been talking about his suspicions regarding sqh to the other future peak lords (chief among them being lqg, who obviously believed sqq immediately and has been his accomplice to this point), the complete 180 sqq does from trying to convince everyone that sqh is a rat, to him -- seemingly out of nowhere -- covering for sqh and spending all this time with him and talking in code (modern slang) with him, when everyone knows that sqq HATES sqh is soooooooooo sus.
in other words, everyone is now convinced that sqh is blackmailing sqq, because sqq actually found something to prove sqh's guilt.
and this results in a frantic quest from his friends (the other future peak lords) to try and find out what sqh is using to blackmail sqq so they can get rid of it. this does not go unnoticed by sqh, who demands that sqq fix the mess he got sqh into, and sqq tells him to fix it himself because he's the one stupid enough to become a spy to get some demon ass (which sqh points out is a gross inaccuracy of the situation, he hasn't gotten one iota of ass, not even a glimpse, do you know how difficult it is to pull that off in demon society which might as well not believe in the existence of clothes).
then system shows up and threatens immense bodily harm to them both if sqh is caught by the sect this early. so what are they supposed to do but begrudgingly work together to save sqh's ass so he can get some demon ass.

a pet headcanon of mine is that after they're done with the sigil removal, emira expands her horizons and starts studying the psychological side of healing, pulling in some resources from the human realm and combining it with boiling isles methods (i imagine the field of psychology in the boiling isles, while existent, was often pushed aside as just a lesser branch of the healing coven back when belos was in charge. i do imagine there's often magic like the memory tweezers involved)
and i imagine she ends up focusing in on like, art therapy and self-expression, because she knows how important that can be, after having her individuality stifled so hard when she was young

The Deathday Party
Tumblr media
Pairing: Sebastian Sallow x f!MC
Word Count: 2K
Rating: PG (Sixth year students, entirely fluff)
Summary: Sebastian sneaks you into Sir Nicholas' Deathday party.
"Hurry, we don't want to miss it!" Sebastian called over his shoulder as you trailed behind him through the cold dungeons. "Miss what?!" you demanded for the umpteenth time, diligently following a few steps behind him in a halfhearted hunch. Earlier that evening during the Halloween feast, Sebastian had charmed a paper bird over to your seat at the Gryffindor table. You’d smiled as it had gracefully landed on the rim of your goblet of pumpkin juice and pantomimed taking a sip. His enchantments really are remarkable these days, you’d thought to yourself.
“Hurry, we don’t want to miss it!” Sebastian called over his shoulder as you trailed behind him through the cold dungeons.
“Miss what?!” you demanded for the umpteenth time, diligently following a few steps behind him in a halfhearted hunch.
Earlier that evening during the Halloween feast, Sebastian had charmed a paper bird over to your seat at the Gryffindor table. You’d smiled as it had gracefully landed on the rim of your goblet of pumpkin juice and pantomimed taking a sip.
His enchanments really were remarkable these days, you’d thought to yourself.
Once the bird had gone still, you’d carefully unfolded its parchment wings and read in his surprisingly precise handwriting, Meet me outside the common room in fifteen minutes.
You didn’t have to ask which common room – you’d been snuck into the Slytherin’s cathedral-like chambers more times than you could count at this point. In fact, after hours you were there more often than in your own quarters, and more than once Ominis had offered to prod the headmaster into having you resorted (if only so he wouldn’t have to assist Sebastian in his more outlandish ways of sneaking you past the prefects on duty).
You glanced across the great hall and subtly nodded when he met your eyes, and a few moments later, while much of the table was distracted by a messy round of gobstones that Zenobia had wrangled some other second-years into at the end of the table, you slipped through the reception hall and down the grand staircase.
It was only when you caught a glimpse of Sebastian leaning against the stone walls of the Slytherin dungeons – just a shimmer, of course – that you cast Disillusionment on yourself.
“Ready?” he asked, and even though you could barely see his face, you could hear his grin.
“Ready for what?” you countered. “You really couldn’t wait until the end of the party to sneak away?”
“I’ve got a better party that I’d like to show you,” Sebastian said smugly. “Trust me, you won’t want to miss this.”
You frowned. Running a quick mental tally in your head, you couldn’t think of anyone who hadn’t been at the feast in the Great Hall. Fresh pumpkin juice, pumpkin pasties, trays upon trays of sweets… it was impossible to pull most students away from the spread. It was only your second year experiencing all the festivities, and even you couldn’t help but feel a bit put out at being pulled away.
As if he could read your mind, Sebastian reached for your hand and started to tug you down the hallway past the common room entrance.
“I promise, this will be worth it,” he said, “but we’ve got to hurry.”
You allowed yourself to be coaxed into following him – but that’s not really a surprise anymore, you thought. Even though you’d only known the Slytherin boy for just over a year, you thought you’d probably follow him pretty much anywhere.
Behind him you crept—past the creaky statues of knights in armor, past the rarely-used toilets that Ominis had once remarked gave him a generally bad feeling, and quickly past the Scriptorium the three of you swore you’d leave sealed for the rest of your time at Hogwarts.
(You breathed a quiet sigh of relief when Sebastian purposefully marched past it – you’d hoped his plans for the evening hadn’t involved going back on your vows, but it was a relief to be sure.)
Finally, he stopped in front of an iron gate blocking off a dark, empty hallway from which emanated a ghostly blue light. With a quick wave of his wand against the creaky lock, the gate rose upward.
“Follow me,” he murmured, letting the Disillusionment charm melt away.
Down several short flights of stairs you went, pulling your cloak tighter around you to ward off the supernatural chill in the air. It was certainly a ghostly party, but nevertheless…
When you emerged from the hallway into a modest banquet room, you gasped.
More than a dozen pairs of ghostly dancers twirled through the room, some across the stone floors and some several meters in the air. Others leaned against the walls chatting happily with each other, dressed in brilliant attire spanning several centuries of wizarding history – all brought to “life” in one room, lit by cool blue flames flickering in chandeliers high above.
“Sebastian, what is this?” you asked softly, reaching for his sleeve.
“It’s a Deathday party,” he said as you tugged his arm into your grasp, a knowing smile on his lips. “A proud tradition for the ghosts of Hogwarts on the anniversary of their deaths. This is a special one, thrown each year on Halloween night by Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington.”
You couldn’t help but scoff. “How posh of you, Sebastian – do you perhaps mean Nearly-Headless Nick?”
Sebastian bit the inside of his cheek. “I don’t actually think he likes to be called that.”
Immediately, you knew that there was a story there that you’d have to work out of him. But for the moment, you spared him the indignity of it, knowing Sir Nicholas himself was likely nearby. That didn’t stop you from teasing him.
“Come now, Seb, we’re practically old pals,” you said with a prim smirk. “Sir Nicholas is a Gryffindor after all, and last year he helped me track down those missing pages from the book you helped me get from the Restricted Section.”
“You never told me about that!” He bumped his shoulder against yours. “Regardless, if you’re such close friends, why didn’t he invite you to his party last year?”
“I suppose he might have been sulking a bit,” you admitted, keeping your voice low. “He’d been turned down for the Headless Hunt again, despite bringing some rotten roast beef I nicked from the kitchen for him.”
“Poor guy,” Sebastian murmured. “I’m glad he’s in the mood to celebrate this year, at least.”
Just then, the two of you glanced across the room as Sir Nicholas raised a ghostly goblet in the air and called out, “Welcome, my mortal friends!”
To say that you and Sir Nicholas were close would be an exaggeration, and you were almost certain that you and Sebastian were in fact gatecrashing the party given your date’s general unease when it came to teasing the man of the hour, but he still seemed delighted to see you.
You suspected your very presence granted Sir Nicholas some sort of status among the other ghosts, who began to whisper excitedly to each other around the room as you joined the other celebrants.
“Happy, er… Deathday, Sir Nicholas,” you offered. “What a lovely party!”
“So pleased you could join us on this momentous occasion,” he boasted and as he gesticulated with his translucent goblet, you realized that it was quite empty. “As you may have heard, this is my four-hundred-and-seventh Deathday anniversary!”
“That’s a big year,” Sebastian commented under his breath, and you gently elbowed him in the waist.
“Please, help yourselves to our merriment and revelry!” Sir Nicholas continued, undeterred. “I fear you will not enjoy our assortment of refreshments – most everything is spoiled rotten.”
“That’s quite alright,” you answered with a wince. “We just came from the Halloween feast, so we’re not hungry.”
“But this is a much more exciting party, Sir Nicholas,” Sebastian told your host and his onlookers, and you watched as any lingering distrust the ghost held for your mischievous date melted away.
Reinvigorated by your compliments, Sir Nicholas took off to greet more guests who arrived by descending straight through the ceiling. You and Sebastian stepped to the side of the room furthest from the buffet of rotting meats.
“This really is something,” you breathed, and Sebastian watched tenderly as you took it all in. “Thanks for showing me, Seb.”
“It’s about time I surprised you with something,” he drawled.
Just then, you became distracted by a trio of ghosts hastily discussing their dance arrangements – two fully intact, and one who quite literally held his head in his hands.
“I said I would,” the beheaded ghost said, watching as pairs of translucent couples spun happily across the dance floor before glancing at a ghostly woman standing alone.
“You should,” his friend encouraged. “You should ask her!”
“Shan’t hold my breath for that,” the third ghost added derisively.
You tugged on Sebastian’s arm, pivoting him toward the scene.
“No, I’m going to ask her this time,” the first ghost insisted.
“You said that forty years ago,” his companion countered.
A few meters away, the beautiful ghostly woman glanced over her shoulder with a shy smile, and all three men perked up. You glanced at Sebastian, and he bumped his nose against your temple with a fond grin.
“You’re such a nosy one,” he murmured before you delightedly shushed him.
“Did you see that?” the first ghost exclaimed. “She looked at me!”
“My dear mound of shoulders,” the third ghost drawled. “I’m afraid it was I that drew her gaze.”
The first ghost set his own severed head on the table beside him – something you didn’t think you’d ever quite get used to seeing, despite how often Sir Nicholas seems to delight in pulling back his own head to get a rise out of incoming first-years – and straightened his shoulders.
“I’m going to do it,” his head said.
“You should, before the next century,” his encouraging friend replied, and when the man again hesitated for a brief moment, he gently shoved his headless body toward the woman and added, “Oh, for heaven’s sake, get on with it!”
“Milady,” he stammered, offering a hand to her as she turned around. “Would thou takest my hand in dance?”
“Oh,” she breathed, and with a bright smile on her pale face, she nodded and held out a hand.
Sebastian chuckled softly as the two walked toward the center of the room. You sighed, hopelessly romantic.
“I did it, I asked!” the ghost exclaimed as he led his dance partner away.
Bless him, he only faltered for a moment when the more cynical of the two cleared his throat and, while gesturing to the dancer’s abandoned head, called out, “Forgetting something?”
“Oh! M-milady,” the man’s head yelped from the table. “Might I borrow my body perchance?”
Much to your delight, she ignored his stuttered requests and kept twirling with his headless body, and the two weary onlookers took each other's hands and began to dance together while one remarked, “What a handsome couple we make!”
You couldn’t help but dissolve into giggles.
“Well, wasn’t that sweet,” Sebastian took a step back from you so he could grab both of your hands. “Young love, hm?”
“More like centuries-old love,” you laughed, letting him place one of your hands on his shoulder while he rested his own on your waist.
You’d only just had your very first dance lessons for the upcoming Yule Ball earlier that month, and while you’d regrettably been split into your respective houses, the two of you had taken to practicing together in the Undercroft while teasing a bewildered Ominis about who he should ask.
“Care to dance?” Sebastian asked, starting to sway you out amongst the other couples.
You pursed your lips to hide your smile. It was just so perfectly headstrong of him – so perfectly Sebastian of him, in fact – to ask you for a dance while he already had you in his arms.

Linktober Day 9
Deity
*sneezes after downing coffee* Well irl stuff got in the way so I'm way behind my original schedule for these and for Linktober but here we go with another arguably short one, fuelled purely by self indulgence, headcanons, spite against my linguist essays that kept me from keeping to schedule, severe sleep deprivation, a shout out to the Ender Lilies soundtrack and Majora's Mask soundtrack, and Nintendo for not clarifying anything about the lore so I'm snatching what I can and making it my own lol. Look, when you fíxate so much on details the Zelda team doesn't elaborate on you have to fill in the gaps with what you can.
As always can be read as romantic or platonic, technically in a LU context but not explicitly in it by itself.
The Lord of the Mountain liked hearing people sing.
In a way, it wasn’t a surprise, Hylia and the Golden Three each had their ballads and symphonies and minuets, each splendid and with cuts of their divinity in it, Farore was fond of lightning and forest alive minuets, and you could swear Farosh sparked just a bit brighter when one would him the beginnings of the Minuet of the Forest near their spring, Din was fond of boleros, fiery and alive and howling with the echo of flame touching earth that made a shine run through Dinraal’s scales, Nayru, in contrast, was much fonder of blizzard and river quiet serenades, the songs of contemplation at first snow ringing clear when Naydra curled around it’s spring, content to be free of Malice.
And of course Hylia had her ballads and lullabies, perfectly fitting to her display of divinity, of honey days and vast bird like wings, of ambered summers to come and to pass and dazzling solar storms of starlight and sunlight sparking through the human form of her descendants and heroes. So in a way, you weren’t surprised at all that the Lord of the Mountain – Satori, with a familiar touch of londsleite divinity, the hunt of the woodland beasts and diamondscar adoration for the Hero of the Wilds, similar in glory to the Light Spirits petrichor and vermeil fondness for the Hero of the Twilight – liked to listen to people sing. What you were surprised was how it attempted to follow along, it’s head across your lap the second you sat down in the clearing, a gentle hum on back of it’s throat, an owl’s cry and a cicada’s humming and faintly, chirring purring as presses it’s faces into your hands, a gentle request for petting.
It was adorable, even with the faint notes of the chill of clear spring water on winter and the livewire feeling of magic, like holding your hand too close to a flame but not quite touching it.
A low chuckle brushes against the back of your mind, a feeling like biting on ice, the prowl of a wild beast and the build up of lightning and light used to create his blade, the amused affection of a warrior reconvening with their brother in arms, you think you see the bone ivory of the Deity’s hair on the side of your vision, though you know he’s not physically there, ‘He likes you.’
You hum, gently patting behind it’s ears, pushing through the chill, gracefully not mentioning the burning with a smile at the mythic being’s faint chirring, birdsong and the wind through cherry blossoms that sparkle like rose quartz, “Well I quite like him too, I can see where it’s gentleness comes from.”
The ghost of a touch over your hair, the caress of lightning striking over your skin and the hair on the back of your neck pricking up and the crisp cold of winter, the chill of the ending and the flame of a new dawn, of new days, the phantom of magnolias and spring water on your tongue. The fragrance of pine, daffodils and blood soaked lilies on ashen fields on your senses, gentle and careful, marking but not claiming, ‘Only because it’s you, beloved. It’s not something easily given.’
You sigh, shakily composing yourself, you let yourself relax into the phantom sensation. Of hopes and dreams and healed suffering, of the divinity of hunt turned into protection and lightning given form, of tangled timelines and crystalized memories, “I know. It does not change my opinion, either way.”
To be the subject of a god’s care and regard was dangerous, after all. For the human and the deity in question, you know the stories from your world well, of the effects of Hylia on First and Sky, of Twilight and the personification of the Twilight Realm and the spirits of his land, of Wild and clawing from death’s embrace into that of the wilderness.
Knew how the fact the Fierce Deity’s mere proximity causing pain on those who changed him into hunting for hunt’s sake into protection for the sake of someone else cut deeper than even the ever encroaching entropy all beings must one day face. It was no wonder the Song of Healing was his creation, to want to ease the burden.
You gladly grant him some peace, in turn, even if it wasn’t much. It’s the least you can do, for always having his ways of watching over your heroes.
“Join me? We can make a duet.”
You feel more than see him shift, ephemeral, fleeting, gentle against the edges of your existence, as foreign to Hyrule as your own, sparking over your spine as you feel ozone and rust on your teeth. Satori is humming again to match the rumble of thunder in the man’s voice, the heralding of songs of war and elegies for the dead, ‘Of course, though I’m afraid I do not know many songs, besides…’
“It’s alright,”, you smile faintly, there’s a white ocarina in his hands, as he leans, a spectre against your side, “I’ll teach you some of my own, though you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t remember all the lyrics.”
‘It would be my honor to learn.’
You think he smiles, from the fluttering of something ancient and long forgotten against your side.
You sing to Satori and the Chain, a small respite of familiar and forgotten tunes, the Lord of the Mountain hums along. The Fierce Deity’s song cutting through any nightmares that may ail your heroes for another night.
When the dawn of a new day comes, the feeling of divinity against your skin feels just a bit more obvious, sinking into every crack of your being like a shroud, falling over your boys like a veil, reflecting the breath of eternity over Hyrule.
(First gives you a look that’s half exasperation, half understanding. Sky pointedly sticks to your side as Time looks you over, markings deep with vibrant color. You shrug with a helpless smile as you feel the lightest brushes of Hylia’s fond days of gold and starlit summers days against the Lord of the Mountains warm, luminous affection and the Fierce Deity’s smug, but content lonsdaleite smile.)

Part 3A Fluffy
Part 3B Smutty
Eddie couldn't believe his life right now. Steve. His Steve. Could he say his Steve? Part of him felt like he could. But mostly that he could not. Because he only got this far thanks to Kas.
"You're welcome."
"I didn't say thank you."
"You're welcome anyway. Thanks to me, we can call Steve ours."
Eddie covered his face in his hands. "No, no we can't."
Kas frowned but didn't argue. He already knew Eddie's mind. Knew why he was still hesitating. Even when they could still taste Steve on their lips. Speaking of...
"Hey, what's cookin' good lookin'."
"Uh, cereal and milk", Dustin replied from next to Steve. He even shook the box. "Plenty more if you're hungry."
"I can't believe he's really alive", El said, setting eyes on him for the first time ever. She had heard what happened, the whole story.
"You can feel it too, right?", Will asked.
Her eyes narrowed as she took Kas in. "I do. There's a connection."
"So could you break it?", Mike asked. "Because if he's like how Will was a few years ago, then Vecna can see everything."
"Which means the flayer can too", Dustin added.
"Have you contacted them at all?", Robin asked, her gaze suspicious.
"As per our agreement, I have not." Kas slid into the seat next to Steve at the table. "Wouldn't wanna spoil our deal."
"I don't know what breaking the connection would do", El finally spoke up again. "You said Henry brought you back. That he put you together."
Lucas immediately put it together. "If Vecna is the glue then when he's gone-"
"You won't be", Steve finished, eyes full of worry.
"Don't worry your pretty little head about it darlin'." Kas curled some of Steve's hair around his finger.
"Don't tell me not to worry about something this serious. I just-we just got you back."
Robin cleared her throat and Steve remembered there were other people in the room.
-------------------------
"Are we gonna talk about you and Kas?", Lucas asked.
"There's really not much to say", Steve replied.
"Except how he's being super nice to you. Nicer than Eddie ever was", Dustin pointed out.
The three of them were doing some much needed grocery shopping. Jonathan, Robin, and Argyle were keeping watch over Kas at the moment.
"He's...different, for sure." Steve pushed ahead with the cart, trying to keep the kids from seeing his face. He couldn't just say 'oh yeah, we have the hots for each other but are trying to keep it under wraps because we've already got other things to worry about'.
Dustin and Lucas shared a look. While Steve was gathering essentials, they made the excuse of going to get snacks to get away from him.
"I think we need to consider the possibility of Kas trying to trick Steve", Dustin said.
"I mean it only makes sense. He's basically flirting with him all the time. I bet he's trying to weaken us one by one. And he's starting with Steve cause he thinks he's an easy target."
"I mean he is. He knows Eddie the least. And let's be honest, not a lot goin' on up here", Dustin tapped his temple.
"But we're not gonna be fooled", Lucas said.
They returned to the house, two of them on a mission but already caught off guard when Kas jumped up at Steve, book in hand.
"You like this book!?"
"The Phantom Tollbooth? Yeah. I like the word play."
"Stevie you are a man after my unbeating heart."
"Never thought a vampire from the Upside Down would be into reading", Lucas said.
Steve made a face. "That was more Eddie than Kas."
"That was what?"
"How can you tell?", Robin asked.
Steve shrugged. "I mean they're both still the same person it's just.... it's hard to explain. But sometimes they switch."
"We're reading this tonight", Eddie said, holding the novel to his chest.
"And only reading", Robin warned him.
Eddie followed behind Steve to help put the groceries away. But it only took one pun about canned corn and Steve was being pressed against the fridge. Eddie had made the joke and had even pushed Steve toward the appliance but he could tell he was being kissed by Kas right now.
It wasn't hard to understand why. Doing something like this with people just on the other side of the wall was quite daring, even for Eddie. He could also tell because Kas bit him more. He nibbled at his lips and his neck and while he didn't complain about the restricted diet, Steve wondered if he seriously needed blood and guts to survive.
"Bite me", he whispered.
"What?", they heard Argyle's confused voice and quickly jumped away from each other.
Thinking quick, Steve rolled up his sleeves and presented his arm just in time for the rest of them to pile into the kitchen.
"I think he needs actual blood", Steve said.
He could tell he wasn't fooling Robin or Jon. Maybe not even Argyle. Not with how flushed he looked. But Dustin and Lucas seemed to fall for it. If only because the thought of the two of them making out was so far out of left field. Kas sniffed at Steve's wrist before grabbing it in both hands and bringing it to his lips.
"This still counts as watching what he eats", Steve reasoned as Kas bit in. "As long as he's not eating people, it should be okay." He thought he did a very good job not buckling under the unexpected pleasure of Kas sucking on his wrist.
"I kinda feel like we shouldn't be watchin' this, dude", Argyle commented.
Meanwhile, Lucas and Dustin took note of this moment. They were determined to catch Kas slipping and save Eddie.
But as days passed and they waited for proof, they came up with nothing. Even when they enlisted the help of Will and Mike.
"What the fuck is this?", Mike demanded to know when he barged into Steve's house.
Steve had been sitting on the couch, watching tv, totally normal. What wasn't normal was Kas sitting on the floor at his feet, getting his hair pet like a dog.
"Well we were watching The Twilight Zone", Kas said.
"I know knocking is out of your skill set, but could you at least not slam my door open", Steve said, his hand still stroking those long curls.
"I think you two owe us an explanation", Lucas said.
"Yeah, clearly something is going on here that you're not telling us", Dustin added.
El and Will were both silent while the others shot the two older boys accusatory looks.
"They're in love", El said in the silence.
"Don't joke about that", Mike said, which must've set something off in Will.
"Don't be an asshole. You guys are idiots if you haven't been seeing it."
"Steve and Eddie hate each other", Dustin gestured to them as if their position would prove so, like they were wrapped up in each other.
Kas grinned and pressed his chin into Steve's thigh. "You hear that? Apparently I can't stand your guts."
Steve rolled his eyes. "My guts, maybe. But you sure are able to stand my face alright."
"Your face, your hands, your legs", Kas started to gnaw at Steve through his jeans.
"Hey! Kids!", Steve warned with a gentle push as well as pulling his legs away.
"I think...I might be able to help", El said. "But it won't be easy. And I'll need your help, Steve."
"Me?" He probably had the least experience here when it came to El and her powers. "Why?"
She grinned at that. "Because you're his favorite."
----------------------------------
A bonus cuz i can't help myself
Steve never thought in a million years he'd be here. Not ever. Fresh out the shower, that was normal. Fresh out the shower with a hottie in his bed, that was also normal. Said hottie kissing up and down his arm, not to much.
Kas pressed his lips so softly it was like he was planning on making love to just his arm.
"I think you might be obsessed", Steve teased.
"I spent a good few minutes sucking off the other arm. Don't want this one to get jealous."
Steve turned pink. "Don't say 'sucking off', that's not what you did."
Kas hummed against his bicep. "I swallowed you down? I drank you up? Milked you to the last drop?"
Steve rolled his eyes but continued to smile. "Can I speak to Eddie now?"
"You know it's kinda unfair you get two boyfriends and I only have one", Eddie said, moving to rest his chin on Steve's shoulder.
"I think I'm more than enough for the both of you", Steve said, turning his head in to peck his lips.
Part 5 FINAL

i’ve had a couple asks about the rest of the aquato family in FSAU. i’m still figuring out designs for the rest of them, but here are Dion and Frazie! (bonus Raz for scale. Frazie is the tallest of the sibs! Queepie is the shortest, and Mirtala is around Raz’s height.)
more sketches/info under the cut.
Dion stays with the family circus! i can’t imagine anything else for him, honestly. i like to imagine they get a little more established after the game - expand, maybe link up with some other acts. he gets a lot more confident, and basically steps into his role as Augustus’ successor (although the old man is still around and running things!)
things are... a little tense between him and Raz. they’re cordial, for sure, but i think at family gatherings there are a lot of snide comments haha. Dion still kind of sees Raz as betraying the family, and Raz is entirely done with trying to persuade him otherwise so there’s kind of a lingering animosity there.
Frazie goes through the intern program and trains at the Motherlobe for a while, but ultimately i think she decides she’s not really interested in being a Psychonaut? she really takes to the psychic stuff, though, and eventually she becomes kind of an informal field agent. she travels with the family caravan, but on the side she investigates local cryptids and psychic phenomena. i love the idea of Otto as her intern mentor (something about the Raz&Ford parallels), so she becomes kind of like his traveling informant.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
she doesn’t really ‘work’ at the Motherlobe but she stops back any time the circus is in town to harass Raz

I’m not sure if this was asked already but now that daredevil born again ties into the netflix show are we gonna see it in trt?
So my plan now that we have confirmation that Born Again ties into Netflix is:
The main TRT fic will still 'finish' at its official point set a little bit post S3 of Daredevil, mostly because by that point it's going to be an absolute behemoth of a fic and needs to end before I break AO3's wordcount tab. That'll wrap up all our major plot points with Cyrus, Project Beagle fallout, etc.
Other entries planned: a Wedding fic, and the Snap fic (although I'm now planning to make a few rewrites to the canon one since we'll likely have confirmation on who got Snapped and who didn't).
After that, I'm considering a possible route for some additional stuff with whatever they have in Born Again, yes! I don't have anything official just yet because, well, we don't really know about what's going to happen, and so I'll have no idea just how much TRT's events would influence BA's canon events until I see it (there's a VERY big domino I'm tipping that might alter the landscape quite a bit based on where the MCU seems headed that I can't really give away just yet). But I do plan at the very least some TRT one-shots or short fics, even without seeing it, because how am I not going to want to continue exploring this world when they're about to feed me so much more inspo??? There's no way. So we'll have some additional adventures! They may just be a bit smaller and more manageable than TRT's mainline. <3
