Shadow of the Forgotten
My submission for @aimportantdragoncollector ‘s Three Weeks of Triholders, (Although this piece is featuring Duoholders 😅)
I created an au based around a Nyavka Yoichi and a woodsman Second . .
Nyavka are a type of Mavka, a spirit in Ukrainian folklore.
One prominent feature is that Nyavka have no back so you can see their spine . . . They often live in bodies of water like rivers or lakes in the forest (my mother for instance first told me about them as a way of warning me away from a nearby river lol). Some interpretations have them leading men to their doom and drowning them, while other interpretations have them being more benevolent caretakers of the forest although these two are not mutually exclusive!
While I'm no writer and am still coming up with ideas I believe this au would go something like this:
Yoichi and AFO were born in a mountain village surrounded by forests and bordered by a fierce river The village believed the twins to be unlucky due to their odd striking white hair and the death of their mother during their birth and they are shunned.
The two are only really allowed to stay in the village as hands to help in the fields, life is unpleasant but the two make due as they grow up. One winter when the two are around 11 or so Yoichi gets very sick. However he is refused treatment, resources are low and they village do not want to waste supplies on the weakest of the twins who would likely die before he is an adult anyways.
AFO tries to steal him medicine anyways but this goes wrong and the two are driven out of the village when he is caught. They attempt to flee across the river into the surrounding woods. Unfortunately the water is freezing and they drown.
Due to their tragic death the brothers come back as Nyavka and now dwell in the surrounding forest.
A newly undead AFO takes on a much more vindicative and aggressive role, the number of deaths caused by drowning in the nearby area skyrockets lol. Yoichi on the other hand dwells deeper in the woods and keeps to himself as much as his brother allows.
Many years later, Yoichi sees a young man with a scar across his face and striking orange hair seemingly fleeing from something. He is intrigued and decides to observe this stranger . . .
(And your standard vault escape (forest escape)) story happens from there. :) (with some more twists)

[ID: A title that reads: It‘s A Loop. Next to it is a yellow goat. /ID END]
SUMMARY:
It's quite a day: Nearly getting hit by a truck, drenched in hot coffee and then asked to help get rid of a dead body. Thank god, Ted doesn't have to relive that day ever again. Right?
Or: Ted Spankoffski finds himself in a timeloop. And he's not alone.
to quote Emma Perkins in the 2018 hit musical The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals: "It's just a fucking loop?!"

the idea that avoidance creates anxiety and anxiety creates avoidance has been so stuck in my head lately but it’s been helping notice whenever i do things because im avoiding work. like, why have i been on youtube for over an hour? why have i been napping for half the day? probably because i am avoiding something that is making me anxious! time to go do that thing so i can spend my life doing things i actually want to do!

Gurgle
-Sky Floor
"Go to sleep, baby
Go to sleep
Lay your head and rest, little one,
You will play when again it's day
Sleep until the sun--"
Little Zelda was already asleep, but Little Link was still awake, gurgling happily.
Their father grinned, tickling his son's tummy, "Your grandpapa swears by that song, but either you like music too much to sleep, or, well, I suppose it's Zelda's Lullaby, not Link's, after all."

So Samantha Shannon added “Mary on a Cross” to The Bone Season 5 playlist which means she knows Ghost which is only fitting since the ... aesthetic, energy, vibes, whatever, between the books and the band corresponded in my mind for years and I wonder if Samantha also knows “Respite on the Spitalfields” because if one song captures the fucking total insecurity about what’s going to happen to my babies Paige and Arcturus, it’s damned well that one and hell, how much do I need that book even though I have no idea what to expect other than desperation
