OVERBLOT BOTS REACT TO MC HAVING BURNOUT AND DEPRESSION
(because I currently have it so---)
Tw: slightly angst, fluff, maybe suggestive? depression, negative feelings. This is for me, but I'll begin to take requests (and yes, I will make that WHB for you person) some are longer then others.
Riddle rosehearts
Riddle noticed the way you were beginning to become distant from just about everyone. You called out of class the last few days saying you were 'sick'. He did worry about you, don't get it twisted, but he didn't exactly have a chance to go over to Ramshackle to check on you. Until he got Trey to take over for a few hours while he went out to see you. He even made sure to bring a few tarts Trey made for you. When he knocked on the door the 3 ghosts opened up
(I named the ghosts Eddie, Joe, and Markus because they old like that-)
"Ah you must be the dormleader of that uh-" the plump ghost Eddie said before snapping his fingers
"Heartslabyul." He spoke.
"Yeah that's the one. Now why are you here?"
"I'm here to see MC" he held up a basket.
"Oh, uh... well, they should be locked up in their room. Grims been worried, too. They say that they are okay, but it's a tale tell sign of burnout." The slimmer ghost Joe said.
Riddle heard the words burnout and shoved by them and into Ramshackle. He ran to your room knocking softly
"MC...my love...it's me riddle" he spoke and opens the door.
You laid in the bed that was, well, really uncomfortable. But you didn't care. You were so burt out on life it was unreal. Riddle slowly walked over to see you closer. He set the basket of tarts down and crawled into bed with you, his face red.
"MC.. I know it's hard to keep up with everyone, but know I'm right here with you." He spoke and held you in his arms.
You were already feeling better.
Leona kingscholar
Leona has noticed you have been skipping out on lunch with him. In fact, he's realized you've been gone for the last few days. He slowly stood up and streched out. He slowly began to walk to Ramshackle. Leona just entered Ramshackles dorms without a care in the world.
"Mcccc! Are you sick my love?" He asked. And out came Grim.
"No they're fine just having burn out"
Leona eyes widened. Burn out? Mc was having burn out? He sighs
"Damn Herbivore...always taking care of everyone else and not themselves.." he sighs and texts ruggie something. "Grim will you go comfort MC for a bit. I need to grab some things."
"Hah? Your leaving?" He asked upset
"I need to get all their favorite things together. I'm gonna make sure they feel better. " he walked out towards savannaclaw.
Leona gathered his blankets as Ruggie put them in a travel bag. Leona threw in some stuff and hands Ruggie his credit card.
"Go and buy some sweets. And some new bedding for mc. You know what just buy them an entire new bed. Their bed is so uncomfortable."
"Shihihihi alright alright"
Leona was gonna make sure you were gonna have the best rest possible to make you feel better.
Azul ashengrotto
Azul was working on contracts when he saw Floyd carry you in. Azul dropped everything upon seeing that all too familiar face. Burnout. He quickly tells Floyd to make some of your favorite food. And after Floyd quickly left
"Mc... you went and done it again.." he ran his fingers trough his hair and sighs.
Tears trickled down your cheeks and you hugged him tightly. He blushed brightly at the fact that you had hugged him so suddenly. He pets your hair slowly and brings you to his room to rest.
"You need to put yourself first sometimes, angelfish..." he placed a kiss on your head and wraps you in his softest blankets. "I'll be right back angelfish"
He walked out and into the lounge. He snaps his fingers and jade and Floyd came over.
"Find Crowley. I want him to know my angelfish is burnt-out because of him. They will be staying here."
"Fufufufu~ I'll make sure to give him a tight squeeze!~" Floyd smiled. Jade nods and they both walk off.
PART TWO COMING SOON<3

Hello! I hope you still take requests, if not I'm so sorry to brother you!!!
Anyways! I would love to see more of your yuusona, I think they are so cute ����.
And please tell us more about them :D
JKDLSJIIOAUEIOWUIOJKFLDJKFDL THANK YOUU!! :') not a bother at all!! This is such cute and sweet request!! u lil cutiee!!
i haven't really thought out much about her yet, and shes not really based on any specific Disney character, but i have some fun facts about her-
Her shirt is the same style as Epel's, because its a spare pomefiore shirt that Rook gave her during her first week at school. She's really scared of him though. Her first encounter with him was him commenting on her messy uniform, (since i doubt that Crowley would do much more than just grab whatever's in the lost and found basket for Yuu and call it a day) Rook basically drags her to Pomefiore to play dress up while she tries desperately to find some excuse to leave jkhfdfdshhsd
She wishes she could have just kept the job as a janitor instead of being a student at first (but she comes to like school starting the second year) since she enjoys cleaning and tidying and just going for walks, so being an errand runner for Crowley didnt seem too bad to her.
Because of this i wanted to make Floyds nickname for her "Vampire squiddy", since they feed on marine snow and are generally one of the "cleaners" of the deep sea. They live really deep in the sea, matching her gloominess and dislike for crowds and bright light. BUT THEN I REALIZE THAT LILLA CALLED DIBS ON BEING VAMPIRE SQUID so now i don't know anymore... i guess shrimpy still works..
Ever since accidentally stepping on Leonas tail she's been avoiding him like the plague. She thinks he's still mad at her, and nearly cries anytime she sees him dshdhdhdfhj she thinks he's super scary
The skirt she actually sewed by hand herself , using a spare curtain from Ramshackle as fabric.
Back in her "home world" she used to collect and make her own jewelry, the one she wears is one of them. She makes friendship bracelets for her friends of course.
She's good friends with Ortho, and they are desk neighbors. He's tried multiple times to invite her over for game night but she's too scared to hang out with Idia around. But her an Ortho hang out and study together a lot :) he's the designated extrovert friend
She became friends with Jade by being forced to wanting to join the Mountain lovers club. Its actually pretty good, since its a long walk and she can forage for stuff to eat so she can save more money (Crowley pays us in a handfull of pebbles and a pat on the back i swear to god) He's the social anxiety shield and talks for her sometimes.
She still kind of works as a janitor, and she stays after school hours to clean. And uses her job as an excuse to stay away from people, too much to clean!! so many floors to mop!! no i cannot come to ur party Kalim i am so so sorry!! would love too but i have to deep clean the school, by myself, all alone!! tomorrow as well! and the day after!! fdhdfshdshj
Has absolutely bonked Ace in the head with her broom!! he deserves it
Azul tries at some point to get her to be a janitor at Mostro lounge but she runs away from him mid conversation
Secretly very insecure about her height, thinking shes too tall for a lady, plus it just makes her stick out more as well
(actually as im writing this i realize she could be based on Cinderella in a way!!! with the whole evil stepmom (crowley) making you do a bunch of shitty work. im getting ideas.. >:) teehee gonna redraw the ball dance and glass slipper scene with her and someone maybe mwehehehehe)

20 questions for fic writers
Tagged by @microcomets. Thanks, friendo!
1. How many works do you have on Ao3?
71 currently. I've orphaned a bunch, though.
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
526,242
3. What fandoms do you write for?
These days I write for whichever fandom strikes my fancy—it might be a new one, or it might be one that I fall back into every so often. My most recent fics have been a mix of new (Beyond Evil, Good Omens, Loki) and old (Cardcaptor Sakura).
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Long Live The King (DBZ, bulma/vegeta)
Stopgap (Good Omens, crowley/aziraphale)
100 Zeni (DBZ, trunks/goten, bulma/vegeta)
Named (Supernatural, dean/castiel)
Solve for X (MCU, tony/loki)
5. Do you respond to comments?
I've gotten better at this! I now make sure to reply to every comment on my newer works (sometimes it's a bit overwhelming, but I think the effort is worth it).
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably Oneiori. Like, Cas gets a happy-ish ending, but it's not going to last. Womp womp.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
These days, I try to end all my fics on a happy note! The happiest that comes to mind is Heritage Site.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I think I've gotten hate maybe twice since I started posting to AO3 in 2010? That's statistically negligible, which is kind of amazing!
9. Do you write smut?
Not often. I don't mind writing it, but it really needs to serve a purpose to the story for me to make the effort.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you have written?
Nah, not really my thing.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of, but I've had a fic's summary stolen! That was a trip.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! I'm floored people like my work enough to put that kind of time and effort into translating it!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope. I tried, but it ultimately didn't work out (mostly due to writer's block and scheduling issues).
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
This is like asking me which of my children I love more. It'd take me a month to answer this question and I'd need someone at CERN to check my work.
I will say Kakashi/Iruka is my most enduring fave; I started reading them in 2005 and fall back into them every 3 or so years. I'm currently in a kakairu cycle (as if y'all couldn't tell).
15. What is a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Speaking of Kakashi/Iruka.... Hadopelagia. It was just far too big in scope for me to even think about finishing. I think I frightened myself out of it! For the best, though. I re-read it the other night and it's a MESS. This is why betas are so important, kids.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I've gotten a lot of comments about how I use metaphor effectively, as well as comedy. I don't think I'm particularly funny compared to other writers, but it always fills me with joy when someone mentions my dumb sense of humor.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Definitely smut. There's nothing worse than trying to keep track of where everyone's legs are.
Me: "I used the word 'cock' fourteen times in this paragraph......... well, maybe no one will notice."
18. Thoughts of writing dialogue in another language in fics?
I've done it! Named had a whole scene written in Spanish (I tried my hand at it and then had a native speaker edit it). I think when done well, it adds something really meaningful to a story.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
The first fanfic I ever wrote was before I even knew what fanfiction was. It was an Animorphs self-insert fic and I wrote it on a legal pad at my grandparents' house in like 1997. The first fandom I officially posted fic for was Fruits Basket in 2003, followed by QAF in 2004.
20. Favorite fic you have written?
Probably A Twist of the Knife. I had an absolute blast writing Nie Huaisang, and I'm really proud of the story as a whole (which is rare for me).
Tagging: @sonatine, @lemonistas, @stitchyblogs, @dadvans, @ataraxetta, @nandalorian, and anyone else who wants to get in on the action. :-D

Mystery shop
I really do my best to adapt to this change in living which includes taking care of the property and the wild animals that just happen to want a snack. I also understand why I have to live this way. It’s explainable. But the doors opening and closing constantly in Heartslabyul, running noises in Scarabia, music playing in Pomefiore, the increase of shadowy figures in Diasomnia, items getting rearrange or missing in Savanaclaw, the locked door in Octavinelle keeps rattling everytime i walk pass, even that dang life size doll keeps moving around in Ignihyde. Other than grim who’s been promoted to somewhat of a house cat, I live alone. Completely alone. I sighed into my desk chair as I relaxed my fried brain. I would call Crowley but he probably would think I’m going insane and that it might be the isolation of this place. Maybe I just need to leave and go out somewhere. There is a town away from the manor. It’s around a 30-40 minute walk which isn't too bad as long as I don't go into a shopping spree. After getting dressed in some comfortable wear, I began my walk down to the town and made sure I locked the gate behind me. It was a peaceful walk. There were a lot of people in the main street, almost looking like a large shopping district. I began walking around enjoying the stores until I spotted one that caught my interest. Sam’s Mystery shop. It was a cool yet creepy looking shop that seemed out of place due to the other brightly colored shops. But many people are going in and out of it so I assume it’s probably for aesthetics. I entered the shop to be greeted by weird trophies and collectables and had relatively normal items like milk and eggs. “Welcome Little Imp, what may you be looking for today” A male voice spoke from the side of me. There was a male with dark skin with black twist with a few purple in his hair. He has an apron with some bones and a hand in it which looks cool “oh I’m just browsing” I replied “let me know if you need assistance little imp” he said. I nodded and began looking around more. While looking around, I spotted a crystal basket. There are tiny crystals of a multitude of colors and sizes. “You know, they say that these magic crystals ward off ghost” a voice spoke next to me. It was the shop worker “ghost?” i replied and he nods “where are my manners? I'm sam. You must be the new Imp that moved to that cures property” Sam introduced “Nice to meet you” I replied “the pleasure is mine. I have to meet the brave soul who bought that land” Sam replied “anyway, the main house is made from these crystals which were embedded in the structure to prevent evil from seeping through” Sam informed “why would anyone put these in the house” I asked “well i amit, that old bird should’ve done that a long time ago. It would save us a lot of newspapers..… but surely you know of the unexplained activity” Sam stated and I just nod “give me one second. Let me give you something” Sam said as he left for the back. After a little while he came back with a journal and a necklace “here take these, on the house” He said “whats the journal for” i asked “You’re going to write down each and every ghost on that property and report back to me. You make sure you wear that necklace everytime you leave the main house or they’ll start to make permanent attachments.” sam suggest “oh and i recommend you wear it outside the property too” sam adds and I put the necklace on “why is that” I asked and he ushered me to come close and her whispered “the only reason why I knew you lived in that place is because there was someone following you the whole time.that someone has been dead for a long time but now he’s standing and watching you from afar”

So I've been thinking about Good Omens again and I have theories about the possible third season.
I'd say by now that we're all familiar with Nina and Maggie, who, without doubt, got a lot of parallels going on between them and the ineffables.
Now, if I remember correctly Neil mentioned somewhere that the plot for the third season/sequel would be much too similar to the plot of the first season/book, which tells me (as someone who's been thinking about the end of season two ever since I first watched at seven in the morning after pulling an alnighter to binge the season right as it came out--) that season three would most likely revolve around another child (baby Jesus) finding their way to earth to be raised by a lovely couple and then possibly being influenced by an angel and a demon (or perhaps they get switched again and end up with the wrong family, it isn't that important for the point I'm trying to make).
My point here is, Maggie and Nina, as lovely as the are and as much as I love them didn't really have much of a purpose in season two apart from an (admittedly a litte unnecessary, considering heaven sent one of their lowest ranking angels to check and didn't actually draw that many consequences) excuse for Aziraphale's and Crowley's miracle.
Now I raise you:
Season three plays multiple years in the future. Nina has gotten over her ex and worked on herself enough to find her way back to Maggie and they finally git together.
Stuff happens (maybe a basket miraculously appearing in front of gmcogmd, or the record shop, idk. Maybe they wouldn't even end up with it purposefully and more by accident) and they end up with little Baby Jesus.
#emotionally im wherever tf beelzebub and gabriel went#good omens#gos2 spoilers#gos2#neil gaiman#maggie and nina#and maybe eric and muriel somehow mess around a bit#cause I'd love to see more of them#the second coming#baby jesus

Maybe this is denial but I think good omens 2 is more aspec than s1
meta and spoilers ahead
1) basically confirmation that angels and demons don't experience romantic love ("humans are weird and that's how it works" "yeah we know"). I get why not everyone would like this, that it might sound to them too similar to the notion that "romantic love makes us human" but I'm also religious so i love the idea of angels being as aromantic as they are nonbinary.
2) that kiss. Reminded me of me before I realized I was arospec. I'm not the first person to offer this interpretation, so I won't get too much into the character analysis side of it, but I really don't think this kiss negates an aro/spec interpretation of Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship.
A) it's totally possible that Nina and Maggie misinterpreted Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship as allo which confused Crowley about what he feels (which I don't hold against them, it'd be a misunderstanding, this fandom is so annoying)
B) a lot of us have kissed or been kissed before realizing our identities
C) asexuality and aromanticism are a spectrum
3) correct me if I'm wrong, don't Gabriel and Beelzebub never kiss onscreen? God, what a win for aspec ineffable bureaucracy shippers (me)
4) the "we're real people" conversation from Maggie and Nina. A lot of aro people have had those same frustrations about others expecting a specific relationship out of them
5) fucking every line from Gabriel this season is so asexual omg I feel so validated in avoiding fics where he's allo lol
I'm probably missing something please lmk
The more I write about this the more confident I am. Ever since ineffable bureaucracy became canon, I've been running my mouth a lot more, saying "if ineffable bureaucracy can happen, anything can!"
After season 1, before season 2, my stance on aspec Good Omens was "I love it with all my heart, and seeing all these aspec fans makes me so happy, and I'm so glad Neil Gaiman has been kind to our interpretation, but it's not canon and I don't think we should put all our eggs in one basket"
After watching and rewatching season 2, I've changed my mind, it's so much more aspec, probably intentionally, I'm putting all my eggs in the aziracrow basket.
#good omens 2#good omens 2 spoilers#ineffable bureaucracy#ineffable idiots#ineffable partners#ineffable spouses#gabriel good omens#archangel fucking gabriel#nina good omens#maggie good omens#aspec headcanons#good omens meta#good omens theory#aziracrow#good omens angels#actually this is not good enough to be meta but that was my intention

Where to go from here
Jaxon Crowley's masterlist
The infirmary is a horrible place to be when you're alone with your thoughts after an overblot. Jaxon was really hating it right now.
He's never minded being alone with his thoughts before. In fact, he even preferred it. So why are they so hard to deal with now? Why is it that now, they sting more than before?
Because of the overblot. He should know that.
He's not the first student to overblot at Night Raven College, but even those students...had people by their side when it was over. Sure, Jaxon has Leona, but is he really his...friend? Is that even the right word for it? Jaxon doesn't know.
People don't really ever try to be his friend. Not with good intentions at least. Most in the past have just tried to be friends with him so he wouldn't hurt them, or others would be too scared to mess with them. Most of them got sick of him while trying to be friends with him.
Leona certainly hasn't done any of that, but it's not like they hate each other either. He saved Jaxon from his overblot, that certainly says something. But where is he now? Jaxon was alone in the infirmary. No one to talk to. No one to listen to. No one supporting him even now.
It's just him and his thoughts again.
How is it that he always ends up alone? He's seen as aggressive and violent sure, but not everyone is scared or intimidated by him. It must be the rumors about what happened a year ago. That Heartslabyul student told a fake version of what happened, and now Jaxon will forever be paying the price for fighting him.
"No wonder your mom left you. No one would want a delinquent like you."
That student was right. He knew it then and he knows it now. The overblot once again proved him right. It's like every mistake he makes only proves him more right.
As Jaxon laid there, he couldn't help but think of how pathetic he is. It isn't like him to let something someone said get to him. Usually, he can just brush it off and not even care. But he's been stuck with what that student said for a year now, and it won't leave him alone.
No one would want a delinquent like him...
Even now that felt true. Even after he was saved by Leona, the Scarabia guy, and that other Heartslabyul guy. They probably only did it so they wouldn't have to deal with the fear any longer. Leona stayed a little but after, so maybe he cares, but what's even the point anymore?
He'll probably get expelled, disowned, and end up alone while searching for a woman that could be anywhere. That sounds like the fate meant for him. He'll just have to accept that and go with it when it happens.
knock knock
"Yeah?"
"I'm back. You can quit wallowing in your sadness now."
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Who do you think saved you? And which one of us is in the infirmary bed right now?"
"What do you want?"
"I had a talk with Crowley. Oh, also Kalim is here."
"Jaxon! How are you feeling?"
The Scarabia student from earlier walked in behind Leona carrying a large basket with all sorts of wrapped goods.
"I'm fine. What is that?"
"It's a gift basket! I brought it to help lift your spirits!"
"Why?"
"You're probably feeling bad after your overblot right? I know I would. I wanted to show you that there's no hard feelings, and you shouldn't beat yourself up over it."
"I meant why would you do this for me. You don't know me, and I don't know you."
"Oh that's right, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Kalim Al-Asim, housewarden of Scarabia, and a member of the pop music club. You were supposed to join our club but the headmage said you couldn't attend. I was super excited to meet you, and the other club members were also bummed that you couldn't make it."
"Yeah, that wasn't exactly my choice. But you've got a Heartslabyul student in the club and a housewarden, so Crowley said I couldn't go. Technically, I'm not even supposed to be talking to you right now."
"What? That's ridiculous! We'd love to have you in the club!"
"Again, not my choice. It doesn't matter much now anyway. I'm probably going to be expelled."
"Why would you be expelled?"
"This was my second chance and I overblotted. It doesn't get much worse than that."
"I'm sure you didn't mean to though."
"If I meant it or not doesn't matter to Crowley. He stopped caring about my intentions a long time ago. What matters to him, is that it happened."
"Maybe if you just talked to him about what happened, he could understand."
"There's no point in trying to talk to him. He's not going to listen to anything I say."
"But-"
"That's enough Kalim. We can save this conversation for later. Jaxon, how much sleep you got?"
"Enough."
"So three hours at most?"
"Maybe."
"You used your magic at all since being in here?"
"Does it look like I have the energy to use it?"
"But you would if you could."
"But I haven't."
"Not yet anyway."
"What does it matter?"
"Just don't let me catch you using it on yourself."
"Yeah yeah. Whatever."
The two stayed there in the infirmary to comfort bother Jaxon. While he tried not to participate in conversation much, Kalim had a way of forcing people to talk.
And while on the outside he was upset at the fact that they were here, deep down, he was grateful to no longer be alone with his thoughts.

Hey do you think fairy godmothers exist in the world of twisted wonderland like.
If your life is going to hell can one day a lady just appear and turn your zucchini into a Prius and your boots into bronze.
They probably only show up more around RSA.
A possibility has entered my head of
A school dance event that yuu (and maybe the other first years too) can’t attend for Crowley related reasons leaving them with only grim and the ghosts.
Dejected they sit outside wishing they could attend with all their friends when
BOOM
A random fairy lady just bursts onto their property like.
“No need for sorrow dear child for I-“
“WHO ARE YOU!?”
Cue one screaming and a in game battle later
The fairy gets a chance to explain that she’s a fairy godmother
‘for those who give but never recieve one wish guaranteed!’
At first the two are suspicious since a random stranger just popped up not wearing any kind of NCR uniform and is offering them free stuff.
“I want to go home!” “I wouldn’t mind some way back to my world if possible?” (Two options)
But sadly the godparent(?) cant actually do that even if they tried but they can do lots of other stuff too!
“Well how about a way to go to the party!”
“Woah henchman! Are we really just going to trust some random stranger this is to good to be true!”
“I heard that they’ll be an all you can eat buffet.”
“..Ok Henchman I the great Grim say let’s hear them out!”
The fairy uses their magic {bippity bop-pity boo}
To make a transport for them out a broom into a broomicycle. With a lil basket for grim at the front of it.
The ghosts get their own transformation with getting fancy outfits to accompany the students.
And of course yuu and grim get matching outfits
And helmets FOR SAFETY and drive off where more shenanigans will ensue.

A few days late, but better late than never! Usually, Yuulan is the one to interview my ocs for their birthdays, but this time, Farron will be interviewing her! I hope you all enjoy getting to know my Yuusona better!
~~~
Farron: Hello, Yuulan! Wishing you a very happy birthday! I hope you’re having fun!
Yuulan: Of course, you’re presence always manages to bring a smile to my face so I would be having fun regardless. Thank you for coming, Farron!
F: How does it feel to be celebrating your birthday here in Twisted Wonderland?
Y: It feels a little strange, especially since I’ve begun remembering more things from home. Initially, I didn’t really have anything planned and I doubted Crowley would go out of his way to give me a fancy school party like you and the others have had. Really, I planned to pass it quietly like any other day. But Ace, Deuce, Danica and Taima would have none of that and planned this party for me.
F: Ah yes, I helped them a little. Our plan was originally to have this be a surprise party but I know Grim told you about it ahead of time.
Y: Yeah he did, but you know I still tried to act surprised. And honestly, I was surprised seeing how much trouble you all went for me. Since I’m kind of a special-case student, and Crowley doesn’t seem to bother with me unless he needs something, it’s sometimes difficult for me to know where I stand with everyone. Even those who seem to like me.
F: That is sad to hear, but I do hope you know how much I truly like you, Yuulan. And I know Danica likes you a lot as well! And I’m certain your classmates do too! Speaking of which, what do you think of our present for you?
Y: The bike? Ohhhhh, I love it! You even made sure that it had a cute little basket for me to carry around Grim! I can’t wait to try it out, I’ve been wanting to explore more of the Isle of Sages and now I will have than chance! Yes, it’s a wonderful gift.
~~~
F: Since you don’t have any magic skill, what would you say you are best at?
Y: Handcrafts for sure, kitting, crochet, embroidery, things like that. I tend to fidget a lot so keeping my hands busy with some kind of craft is good for that.
F: I’ve seen some of your work and it’s very nice. I especially like how you’ve tailored your uniforms to your own personal style. Have you ever considered maybe selling some of your work? Considering your skills, you’d definitely have a lot of business!
Y: Haha, I’m way ahead of you on that! Soon after coming to NRC, I made Crisanta an embroidered patch to go on her bookbag. She really liked it and paid me fifty madol for it, even though I didn’t ask for any compensation at first. But after that, word got around and now I take different kinds of commissions for students. Crisanta has commissioned more embroidered patches for her bag and even Jack has expressed interest in me making a scarf for him in the future. It’s a great way for me to support myself and keep Ramshackle tidy and supported since Crowley can’t be bothered most of the time.
F: I’ve noticed that as well, but considering how…modest things are at Ramshackle, have you ever considered going to another dorm. I know you have many friends in Heartslabyul who probably wouldn’t mind your presence and Danica and I definitely wouldn’t if you came to stay at Pomefiore.
Y: That may be so, but between you and me, I don’t think I’d do well in Heartslabyul or Pomefiore even as a guest. Though Riddle has gotten better, I don’t think I could deal with his strictness on a regular basis. The same goes for Vil, no offence.
F: None taken, I fully understand where you’re coming from. On that same note, if you could attend NRC as a magic-using student, in which dorm would you like the Dark Mirror to sort you?
Y: Ahhh, well, if I’m being honest, and again this is no offence towards you or my Heartslabyul friends, but I’d want to be sorted into Scarabia. I just resonate with their mission statement the most out of all seven dorms as I consider myself an intellectual at heart. And the stories I’ve heard about the Scorceror of Sands are fascinating. Also, of all the dorm leaders, I feel like I get along the best with Kalim. So yeah, I’d like to be a Scarabia student.
F: Ohhhh, I’m certain Taima would be happy to hear that!
Y: Haha, I once told her this while Ace was nearby and he went on a five minute rant about how Heartslabyul was the better dorm, causing an argument between them, I think he forgot about how he’s often in trouble with Riddle and only wanted to play devils advocate against Taima. But I digress. I still would prefer Scarabia to Heartslabyul.
~~~
F: What are some things you’ve learned since coming to Twisted Wonderland?
Y: Well, since I’m not a magic-user, what I’ve learned in school has been somewhat limited. When in class, Grim usually handles the magic related stuff and the one class I can really be independent in is Professor Trein’s. But back on topic, I guess one thing I’ve learned is that things aren’t always what they seem and that strength comes in all shapes and sizes.
F: Interesting, care to elaborate?
Y: Well, without giving too much away, I’ve had a lot of crazy experiences since coming here. Crazy but also very remarkable. And with each new thing, I learn a little more about myself and about people in general. Like how someone can seem very stern or frightening, but can truthfully be very loving and kind. Or how even the strongest people have their own weaknesses and sometimes, there are weaknesses we can’t always overcome. But still, simply trying is enough and that can be considered strength too.
F: You’ve had a lot of time to think about these things, hmm?
Y: You could say that, I often have a lot of time to think when I’m alone here. And even if I can’t use magic, I still observe a lot of things around me, even if I don’t say much about what I see.
F: Being observant is a good skill to have, magic or not. And I must say, Yuulan, I admire how you have been able to make the most of the incredible situation you find yourself in. Between you and I, I’m not sure I’d be able to have even half of your courage if I found myself alone in a strange new world where I don’t know anyone or understand how things work.
Y: *laughs a little* I’m not sure how courageous I am, I guess you could say I’m just resilient more than anything. And I don’t think I can afford to be anything else.
F: Still, I find it very admirable. And with that, our interview has come to an end. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. And I hope you continue to enjoy your birthday!

I’m posting this fic over on AO3 as well (well… kinda) but i thought why not start a tumblr too. I might get around to illustrating it? or writing chapter 3? but i’ll post chapters one and two here! i hobby jump frequently so if anyone is reading this, maybe don’t get too attached to this since there may not be any more.

Chapter One:
Aziraphale’s shop was the best in the village. Maybe even the country, but he didn’t want to get ahead of himself. He had started selling herbs and cures in a single location after the end of the plague. He was rather tired of running around and thought it easier if the humans came to him when they needed healing. It was small, but smaller meant cozier, didn’t it? There were shelves lined with jars of fragrant spices, and a counter with bushels of lavender and sage tied off with brown string. It almost smelled good enough to drown out the butcher next door.
Aziraphale found that he was nearly always busy, the humans were getting good at healing themselves these days. They always needed this or that to aid them. And he usually sold it. So it wasn’t out of the ordinary for a distressed human to run into the shop, desperate for one thing or another. However, the small boy that ran in this afternoon seemed particularly distressed. He thundered in, shouting before he had been reached the threshold.
“Sir Fell! He needs help! Fell off his horse, it looks terrible… Come quick!”
“Pray child, slow down. Who is hurt?” Aziraphale put down the tincture he was mixing.
The boy took a big breath in. “There’s a knight, down by the forest and he’s hurt really bad, it looks like he was thrown by his horse but the horse isn’t anywhere. I didn't know who to come to other than you.” the words tumbled out in one long strand.
“Alright, come show me where he is then,” Aziraphale grabbed his cloak and a medicine basket from a shelf behind the counter. It wasn’t uncommon for knights to need his products, but rarely was he called to do the healing anymore. It worried him a little bit, if he was being honest. And he really always tried to be. Fastening the cloak over his shoulder with a golden wing pin, he followed the boy to the edge of the forest.
The knight was a black heap of glinting metal and heavy wool and visible from half a mile away against the grey tree trunks. He wasn’t moving. Aziraphale could do a lot of impossible things, but bringing someone back from the dead was too much for even him. He severely hoped the poor fellow wasn’t already dead. He worried the hem of the chestnut colored cloak.
“Can you help him Sir Fell?” the child looked up at Aziraphale with wide eyes.
“I don’t know, my boy. I’ll have to have a look at him.”
Aziraphale got closer and saw the knight’s chest rise and fall in shallow breaths. His own breath rushed out, and he hadn’t realized he had been holding it. If the knight was alive, he could be healed.
The heap of black stirred slightly, turning his head to look at the pair. He cracked open one golden cat-eye. Or snake eye. Crawley. No, it was Crowley now. He must remember that.
“Thank you for leading me here, child. I think you can run along now, I must get to work.” The boy nodded and started at a playful run back toward the village. “Crowley. What happened to you? It wasn’t the horse, was it? I know they’re not fond of you.”
“Angel,” Crowley croaked. Black ichor pooled out from under their head where it lay in the dirt.
Aziraphale paled. He rushed to inspect Crowley, but hesitated, waving his hands in the air a little uselessly. “Whatever happened? What did this to you?”
“Hastur. Ligur.”
Oh, damn them. Again. Aziraphale kneeled and helped Crowley sit up. He took a cloth from his basket and held it to Crowley’s head. There was a gash under their ear, and their neck was red and swollen. They had made a horrible noise when Aziraphale had touched their sides to help them up and Aziraphale’s fingers had come back wet and oily black. Crowley’s armor lay beside them in a pile, rather than on them as Aziraphale first thought. Their doublet was slashed, and not fashionably as some were. The red undershirt coming through the black looked like blood. It was blossoming with the black of Crowley’s ichor and starting to match the doublet. Crowley’s eyes, fully yellow from edge to edge, blinked unnaturally and rolled up into their head.

Mariota Part 1
May 14, 2022
Crowley
picking up a picture from the shelf I look it over and put it back +Not our style really Derek, Eileen you find anything?+
Ruby
Looking through some of my oldest books, I try to track down any information I can on Mariota.
Sam
I flip from one web page to another, following the general trail of witches throughout history. Mariota was never mentioned by name in any of the accounts I’d found, but there were certainly periods of time where witches and their adherence to magical ways were more of an influence on the people around them. It really seems that the more technology we’ve developed and come to rely on, the less witchcraft is noted anywhere. I think we’re looking for a needle in a haystack going at it like this
Lucifer
Along the outbacks of the amazon rainforest, with toothless and Abby, we stand there, stringing up abuses like Christmas decorations in the trees Abbadon
Charlie
sitting at my laptop and scrolling through the dark web, not much coming up at all
Ruby
"Sam, what do you have on what the Men of Letters know of Mariota?"
Henry
Researches on my laptop and I'm getting frustrated and things start to float around me
Eileen
picks a set of black and red plates +idk what you think Crowley?+
Sam
They really didn't say much. I think the mini-history Mrs Butters related had more facts then their official anything
Abbadon
I jump up and hang another one I love that past time
Derek
I walk around the store, and pick up a new book of housing for sale. I casually flip through it leaning on a counter +the houses here are kinda boring. Its...so uniform and…doesn’t really have a personality if that makes sense+
Crowley
looking over at them +I like them, put them in the cart, we do need a lot of plates+
Lucifer
I watch you and laugh, grabbing a screaming man, then grabs his Tongue and Stretches it out of his mouth, his insides attached it like a cute cut out snowflake as I hand it to you
Eileen
Puts the plates in the carts +we need to get you guys glasses next+
Henry
grabs the cookies after the timer goes off
Derek
+I do love the plates though. Could be the theme of the kitchen+ I laugh and put the book back +maybe a glass house? Or a glass-ish house?+
Eileen
+you guys are more Scottish cottage!+
Crowley
+Really are, she is right+ picking up some coffee mugs that match the plates +How about these? Eileen, Derek?+
Eileen
+perfect, very you guys. Are we doing any kind formal dining wear?+
Crowley
+Umm.....ask Derek?+
Derek
+ehhh could use more...idk...more funk to it. Less...normal+ smirks
Sam
Charlie leaning over my laptop to see her across the table Have any of the alerts you have set up been tripped at all?
Abbadon
I take it from you and jump to the air pining it to another tree. I love you too.
Eileen
+any formal dining wear big brother?+
Henry
sets the cookies on the table
Derek
+so we can use them three times out of the year?+ chuckles +no I think we'll be fine. We could use a new bed for Salem+
Crowley
shaking my head I look at my watch +We should get back you two+ pushing the cart towards the front +Told Them we wouldn't be long+
Eileen
+can't forget Salem.+
Charlie
shaking my head so far it’s been way too quiet…. She’s got to be planning something… she’s had lots of time to do it
Sam
Thanks Henry takes one of the still worm cookies. These are always a bright spot during tedious searches
Lucifer
I wipe my hands on my trousers, kicking the floppy body's as I pick all their eyeballs out, handing them to you
Ruby
I put the grimoire back in the satchel and look through for another one that might reveal something more about Mariota
Eileen
looks at my phone +how long have we been out?+
Derek
+we need a list is what we need+ shaking my head I follow you both and get out my card +no more than maybe an hour and half+
Eileen
+I told you that before we left+
Henry
nods and goes back to researching on my laptop
Abbadon
I pick them with my shirt as a basket and I hold on to them
Crowley
+Derek put that away I am paying+ swiping my card I pay for it all before grabbing a few of the bags +lets head out, I will pop us back home+
Sam
Looks at the cookies and mumbles well, during any searching, really
Eileen
takes a few of the bag to help out +guess we should get back+
Lucifer
Pokes the eyeballs making a squishing names we should give them all like quirky names then stab them onto branches
Derek
nods and grabs a few bags taking it to the car
Abbadon
I love that idea, can we make a necklace for Crowley and Derek from them? I smile
Charlie
I’m not finding anything…. How about you Ruby?
Eileen
Puts the bags in the trunk getting in the back seat +Der when was the last you cleaned out the car+ throws out a candy wrapper
Crowley
walking out with you I wait for you both to get into the car before vanishing it and us back to the bunker
Lucifer
Oh my gosh yes I think that would be awesome!! Can you pop a gold chain and we can thread the balls on. Ha ha balls.
Henry
I haven't found anything yet
Ruby
"No, unfortunately not. I only have so much on her since she was banned from the coven"
Sam
The lights flicker and appear about to go out completely. At the last moment they flare brightly and then settle back to their normal radiance Shit, that’s not good. I get up and start to head for the control room. Hang on guys, I’ll go check it out.
Derek
gets out of the car and into the bunker, setting everything down on the table
Abbadon
laughs and make the gold chain go ahead you first.
Eileen
get out of the car following Der inside with some of the bags and sits them on the table
Derek
follows you, grabbing a flashlight. +wonder what's up+
Henry
grabs flashlights
Eileen
grabs an extra flashlight from my duffel +okay that's weird+
Charlie
grabbing a flashlight I head down the dark hallway
Abbadon
I my bones shaking a little bit as I look at Lucifer did you...?
Sam
+Fuse maybe? Thanks Derek, I appreciate your help+ At least I hope it's just a fuse
Crowley
walking in right as it flickers and goes out I feel the surge of power I thought this place was supposed to be fucking safe from this shit
Mrs Butters
appears briefly and the power settles and stays on
Ruby
I get a sudden shiver down my spine “I’ve felt this kind of surge before. I don’t think it’s the power grid. It feels familiar. It’s old magic. The same kind Mariota used to practice.”
Eileen
turns off my flashlight seeing Mrs. Butters appear
Derek
I shine the light +maybe place is just old+
Lucifer
Pokes holes in the eyeballs, wiggling my finger through it hello my name is iris the eye I feel the shake also and look around why do you always assume it's meeeeee
Charlie
No there was definitely something weird about that power surge...did you sense anything Ruby?
Crowley
Agreed Techie
Ruby
"It was similar to what Mariota's magic used to produce."
Sam
Searching through the power room, everything seemed to be in good working order. At least as far as I could tell
Eileen
+that definitely wasn't normal+
Charlie
It was definitely strong…. I think we have a fight on our hands this time….
Eileen
+I agree with you Charlie+
Ruby
I hoped Charlie was wrong, but felt she probably was right.
Abbadon
I roll my eyes didn't think so. Was asking if you felt it. laughing at that. I take you Lucifer and pick you on my back. Vanishing and appearing in the bunker
Lucifer
Chews on your hair while we pop into the bunker
Eileen
Puts my flashlight back in my duffle
Abbadon
I flip my hair what’s going on guys?
Henry
looks around trying to see if there's monsters in the bunker
Eileen
+weird power surge thing+
John
John pulls up into the garage of the bunker with Alex
Alex
in the truck with my hand on my belly as we drive back That was weird gets out and heads inside
Abbadon
+felt like more then that+
Eileen
+it was weird but your probably right+
John
was it the whole city?
Crowley
I don't know, you just drove through the city, tell me was the power out or are back in the old days with no electricity magically.
Lucifer
Pulls out two hand puppets, one looks like John the other as crowley as I make them speak to each other, arguing and mocking them "My names John and bla bla bla bad father bla bla bla old man bla bla bla ugly human"
"my names crowley and bla hla bla 3 inches bla bla bla red and fabulous bla bla bla"
Crowley
glares at Luci
Abbadon
laughs so hard I can't breathe I love you so fucking much he is the best
Eileen
giggles at Luci
Derek
walks back into the bunker +everything looks okay+
Lucifer
Glares at crowley with crowley puppet "I dEsErVe tO bE lOvEd"
Derek
smacks you upside the head
Lucifer
Smacks you with puppet Crowley’s hand
Crowley
chuckles
Abbadon
smacks you too I love you but no.
Charlie
Now is not the time guys can we focus?
Ruby
“You’re right Charlie. We need to remain focused. We need to find Mariota quickly.”
Henry
How
Sam
Coming back into the main room I hear the talk about the power problems for the entire city and can’t help but worry that the witch we’re unable to find might just be behind it all. Henry, we’ve just got to take it one step at a time. First we need to find her
Lucifer
The Queen has spoke Burns Crowley’s puppet then feeds John's to Barry
Eileen
+Even if we do find her how do we stop her?+
Alex
bear sits down and sips tea
Abbadon
I laugh at you
Sam
I’ve got an idea I’ve come to think of the kitchen at the Bunker as Mrs Butters domain. Going into it I call out to her and hope that she’ll hear me and come Mrs Butters, I’m not sure if you can hear me or not… we really could use your help. This Mariota, they witch you helped the Men of Letters capture… well, she is proving pretty hard for us to find. Do you think that you might be able to come and help us out?
Derek
+I think we just need to take it one day at a time and as a family. We gotta work together+ sits on the edge of the map table
Mrs Butters
appears Sammy dear, is everything ok? looking concerned
Sam
Great, you came. Could you maybe and come and answer some questions that Ruby and the others have about Mariota? Guides Mrs Butters out to the map room where other are Mrs Butters If you could just tells us again what exactly you know of Mariota.. It could really help
Crowley
growling I stand Yall can stand around here and look in your books, me and Derek will go investigate where the power surge came from.
Derek
+any direction?+
Ruby
“Mrs. Butters, we need to catch Mariota again. Are we going to try to capture her or finish her for good?”
Eileen
lends up against the map table
Henry
grabs my bag and goes to my car
John
John goes to grab his bag and stuff
Derek
follows you, tripping on a step before making it outside
Lucifer
Ha ha crowley you can't keep them safe, last time you lost your pet rock on a hunt. You can't even protect the simple of atoms.
Crowley
+It came from the far end of town, we should head towards the north. glaring at you Mind your own business Puppy goes to Henry's car and gets in
Abbadon
I smirk and lean on the map table waiting to see of there will be a fight
Henry
+got it. Everyone get in I can drive+ gets in the driver seat
John
John goes to henrys car and gets in
Lucifer
Throws an eyeball in your direction DICK
Derek
gets in passenger side
John
gets in back seat
Sam
gets my to go bag put together. Making sure the guns are loaded with witch killing bullets and taking extra for any who might need them
Ruby
Packing up the satchel, I take what I think I'll need to locate and catch Mariota
Eileen
grabs my duffel from under the table
Crowley
Henry +lets get going kiddo need to move quick+
Henry
starts driving
Crowley
+When we get there, keep your eyes out+
Henry
starts speeding to the place
Derek
keep an eye out for any storm gathering
Mrs Butters
looking around grimly at the family she definitely wasn’t an easy catch. We worked for months to figure it out, and lost a few good men along the way. Cuthbert and another man of letters from another chapter used some very powerful magic to trap her into the ledger… I think if we look in the archives the spell may still be there…but I remember they slept for days once it was complete… even I was weakened considerably … she almost escaped until we sealed her in the box… it warded her and eventually weakened her powers… she wouldn’t be at full strength yet but she must be getting close
Ruby
“We need to catch Mariota again. Are we going to try to capture her again or finish her for good?”
Sam
haven't found any mention of a spell, not so far anyway
Eileen
+maybe we missed something?+
Eileen
+maybe we missed something?+
Henry
gets to the place and parks
Ruby
"Unfortunately I haven't found anything yet either"
Mrs Butters-
Normally I wouldn’t ask for help… but with all the powers in this room I think we may eventually be able to finish her…. First we need to catch her
Sam
We'll just have to keep looking then, we'll find something, we will
Ruby
I go through my satchel, making sure that I have my spell book with me. Finding it there, I grab the satchel, getting ready.
Crowley
gets out of the car and starts to look around for anything unusual John, Derek +Something isn't right, it’s too quiet here+
Derek
gets out of the car and walks around +what are we looking for? I dont see any storms coming+
Henry
Yup to quiet
John
gets out + yeah something seems off+
Charlie
coming out of the artifact room I hand an old green volume to ruby this one has Cuthbert’s name… there are some spells maybe it will come in handy later
Ruby
"Thank you! I'll see what I can find."
Derek
+not even birds...+
John
+I dont hear anything either+
Crowley
+stay close kid, keep a weapon handy+ walking down the road a little ways I keep looking
Derek
walks a few feet towards a random path +trees aren't even moving+
Henry
pulls out my dagger
Mariota
hiding amongst the trees I mumble a silent spell knocking out everyone, except the red headed policeman who simply removes his weapons and comes toward me
Crowley
crumples to the ground unconscious
Derek
I drop my weapons and my gun and with my mind empty, walk towards you
Henry
face plants into the ground
John
John falls to the ground unconscious
Crowley
groaning I wake up a few moments later, sitting up I look around Henry John Derek you all ok?
Henry
wakes up 5 more minutes
John
slowly wakes up Here
Henry
“5 more minutes “
Crowley
not hearing a response from Derek I look over and see his weapons and phone on the ground DEREK!!! FUCK! Henry, John Get up! Derek is gone!
Henry

Charlie
Mariota
I lead my victim to my secret spot and set up a veil so we can’t be seen… this one would give me all the information I needed on my former ally
John
gets up immediately where did he go he couldn’t have gotten far
Crowley
Fucking call that moose of a son of yours NOW standing I start to look around for any clues but it’s like he disappeared without a trace
John
John gets out his phone and calls Sam. Sam we need you guys now Derek is missing and we need your guys help looking for him
Sam
My cell phone starts to buzz and vibrate across the table. I pick it up and see that it’s a call from Dad. Yeah, Dad.. you guys have any luck? I flip the phone speaker on so that everyone can hear the update Can you say again?
Crowley
closing my eyes I take a deep breath and reach out with all of my senses panic and anger starting to set in as I can't feel him anywhere near me
John
I say again Derek is missing and we need you guys here to help look for him
Henry
backs into John. Crowley is scary when angry
Sam
What?! Send me your exact location. We'll be right there. Looks around at the others. I’m leaving in 5. If you’re going with me, be there. I’m not waiting Quickly grabs my gun and go bag and heads for hte parking lot
Ruby
I'm ready and head for the Charger
Abbadon
Who goes with who?
Eileen
grabs my duffel
John
sends him the location through text
Lucifer
Kisses your lower ear we can go together?
Abbadon
I lean to you always
Crowley
opening my eyes they are red and anger is clearly written across my face, I clench my fists and the ground beneath me cracks They have 5 minutes to get here before I am gone.
John
puts hands on henrys shoulders its ok you’re okay.
Sam
I put the location into my phones GPS and drive us there as quickly as possible. At the site where Derek was taken, we spread out and start to search for any clues that might help us Is everyone else okay? What happened? What did you see?
Mariota
hidden behind my magic I wake Derek and he’s shackled to the wall, the chains cutting into his wrists so he can’t move
Ruby
Waiting to hear what Crowley has to say, I gather the necessary items for a locator spell
Henry
I know but never piss off a demon they are scary when angry
Crowley
We fucking saw nothing, we were knocked out! Now make yourself useful
Lucifer
Looks around for clues with Abby
Abbadon
I walk behind you messing your hair with my wand
Eileen
goes over to Crowley +Hey breath, we will find him+
Ruby
While the others deal with Crowley, I use the locator spell. Chanting as I turn to the four directions. “Maiores invoco ut nos ad magam Moriatam ducat.Ostende nobis ubi sit”
Alex
Whoa! Crowley calm down please we will find him we always do
Derek
I slowly wake up and grimace. I turn my ring on what the fuck? I try to move but I see metal digging into my wrists shit! How'd I get here?? Hello!!? I call our, words echo back to me
Crowley
my eyes are still red as I look at you I will NOT calm down! Now help me find him or I will leave you lot standing here twiddling your thumbs like the useless hunters you are! It is DEREK Bear, I will not be calmed down.
Abbadon
I charge at you pinning him down in one shoulder
Eileen

Crowley

John

Crowley

Sam
Touches Dad's hand to stop him Dad, Look I know it’s gotta feel weird to you. But they can help. At least they have been helpful in the past. It’s kind of a whole new world out here lately
Lucifer
You're not helping shut the fuck up!
Crowley
barely reacts to the punch and struggles against you trying to get at John
Lucifer
Holds you down and flashes my eyes red calm the fuck down!! We will find him Crowley,
Derek
I cry out, falling to my knees who?? Who?? the voice is loud and its all I can hear the pain all I can feel as everything melts around me and its just me and my mind as my eyes are shut tightly against the pain
John
ok Sam for you I’ll give him one more shot.
Ruby
I continue to chant
Henry
Can we not fight please uses my puppy eyes
Abbadon
glare at you would you be quite? You can't even keep your mouth shot.
Eileen
glares at John +he loves my brother and frankly I'm agreeing with him. But right now losing our cool isn't going to help find my brother!+
Alex
GUYS! Can we stop fighting we need get Derek back
Mariota
the pain still ringing in your mind you hear the witch… the one who almost ruined me…. This time I’ll get her
Crowley
Luci, I can’t lose him, let me go, if it was Abby you would feel the same, Abby you as well, what if it was Luci
Abbadon
We all care about him.. we will help
Ruby
I can feel something…but it's faint. I pull in more energy to the spell
Alex
I agree what Crowley said Luci
Abbadon
I would be mad as shit.. but you will tell me to use my head.
Lucifer
Listen, I know, I would be so angry but being like this isn’t going to save him okay. You need to be strong. And you need to calm down. You need to use that demonic braincells off yours.
Ruby
“I can’t locate it. It seems to be moving away from us.”
Sam
I can understand Crowley's frustration, it just doesn't feel like we are doing enough right in the moment
Derek
I whimper in pain please I don't know who you're talking about! I can't think! its like one of the worst migraines I've ever faced, and a few tears are created at the corners of my eyes
Sam
I know you tried Ruby
Alex
I run and look for rune and I look over guys! I found rune
Crowley
breathing deeply I try and settle my feelings You lot have nothing, you can't even find him, I can't sense him anywhere, even my own tracking on him is blocked.
Ruby
I look at the rune “Mariota used Runes in her magic. I’m sure this is from her.”
Mariota
the pain lessens a bit Derek is it? I know all about you and your little family… and the evil you’ve adopted within it… men of letters back in the day would have been appalled
Lucifer
Hello I'm an archangel, Abby is a Knight of hell, Ruby is....a demon. Urgh. We have all the skills we need
Abbadon
So where would you go? We need to fond him first
Alex
I nod ok
Sam
At least that's a start. Good work Alex
Alex
I smiles thanks Sam
Crowley
Fine, when we find him, I get first crack at what took him, and Abbadon I have no clue. I literally cannot sense him
Lucifer
If we release you, you promise to not go full drag queen freak out?
Derek
smirks "I didn't adopted it...I married it you skin tone chicken bone google chrome no home flip phone disowned ice cream cone garden gnome extra chromosome metronome dimmadome genome full blown monochrome student loan indiana jones overgrown flintstone x and y hormone friend zoned sylvester stallone sierra leone autozone professionally seen silver patrone Ass female dog.
Ruby
"Ruby is Queen of Hell asshole"
Lucifer

Abbadon
I know.. that's why we need Ruby. And you got it
Crowley
Yes, unless John speaks again, then no promises
Mariota
disgusted at your loyalty to the now demon I send the pain back and tighten the chains at the same time, causing cuts at your wrists and ankles
Lucifer
Oh I won't protect John from you, we all wanna kill him Let's you go
Sam
I open the trunk and make sure that I have everything possible, we need all the help we can get. My gun is loaded with witch killing bullets and I make sure to hand out extras to any who might still need them.
Abbadon
I let you go and get up looking at you worried
John
loads up more witch killing bullets and checks gun then chambers a round so it’s ready
Crowley
standing back up I brush myself off my eyes returning to their normal color, picking up Derek's weapons I put them in my pockets I will find you, I promise
Ruby
“Several traditional methods will be useless for us because of how powerful her magic is. Containment may be the only option until they can disarm her."
Derek
I arch my back as the metal cuts deeply into my wrists sending hot bloody drops slowly out of my body. I try not giving you the satisfaction of me screaming anymore as I clench my jaw why do you care? Family means nothing to you!
Sam
Then that's what we need to do first
Henry
What do we need to get
Lucifer
My methods aren't exactly traditional Ruby.
Abbadon
I put my hand on your shoulder
Abbadon
I smirk oh, they are not.
Crowley
You can try and contain her, I will not stop until I have the bitch's head on a silver platter in my living room for decoration
Mariota
keeping the chains tight and the pain strong and coming in waves almost making you nauseous that’s where you’re wrong… there was a time that witch was like a sister to me… we could have had it all but she turned me in
Sam
I believe he means it
Ruby
Since the Rune was Mariota’s, I use it in the locator spell to strengthen it. And Mariota’s spell book is enchanted into a pendant around her neck.
Ruby
I begin to use the locator spell to strengthen the power of the rune. "Ostende nobis viam magam cuius rune hoc est.Ostende nobis viam."
Crowley
Then hurry the fuck up, what are we waiting for the return of Chuck?
Ruby
I can feel the pull of the rune moving toward the West. "It points west"
Lucifer
No body is waiting for that, no body
Ruby
"Sam, what is in that area?"
Derek
I gasp, trying to fight the nausea. I almost think I'm back in my room before I feel more blood pray tell. The fuck does that have to do with me and your little family feud? Go see Dr. Phil or something! I but my lip hard, trying not to get sick
Abbadon
I don't know who that is..
Mariota
are you not a man of letters?
Lucifer
You lucky son of a bitch.
Sam
Nothing really, we're just about at the edge of what's considered the township
Crowley
checking that no more of Derek's things are on the ground Then let’s go, I’m not standing around anymore stalking towards Henry's car I slide into the passenger seat shutting the door a little harder than needed
Abbadon
You made my father!!!
Alex
I look over Crowley and I look over ruby and took a deep breath
Lucifer
And you technically but we don't need to go into detail
Abbadon
Ewww!!! No no no. Why would you say that
Henry
Watch it gets into the drivers side and starts driving
Ruby
All I'm getting is a direction....west"
John
I agree we need to move gets in the car
Lucifer
Wraps my arms around you and bends you back, kissing you softly because torturing you is fun
Eileen
loading up my own gear I get into one of the cars +let’s move+
John
then let’s head west until we find something
Ruby
I jump in the backseat of the charger
Sam
Ruby gave us the direction she could locate, I turn the car West and head out. It only took a few minutes to make it across town to an old flour mill. The building and immediate surroundings didn’t look like they had traffic in quite some time Looks like as good a place as any for a witch to hold up. What do you say Dad… ready to go in with me and check it out?
Abbadon
I pull back never. then kiss you back
Derek
I’m just a police officer who happens to hunt sadists like yourself. my lips start bleeding but I try not to scream out. petty revenge? Or do you just enjoy your own pleasure so much seeing me like this? Go get a vibrator. I groan loudly at a new wave of pain, trying hard not to cry out though now my tears run down my face. I think would be proud by my rebelness, maybe its rubbing onto me
John
yes we will scout it out then you guys come in full force
Crowley
Not without me you fucking aren't That’s my Husband that is missing I will kill anyone who tries to hold me back
Mariota
that bunker can only be occupied by men of letters… I’ve been trapped there long enough I would know
Lucifer
Walks behind the team, my fingers tangled with Abby’s as we talk between ourselves not really paying attention
Sam
Walking into the front of the building, my feet had barely cleared the threshold when an invisible force knocks me back into the wall behind me
John
fine crowley but stay behind Sam and I
Ruby
"Damn! I was afraid of that!" Taking several coins out of my satchel and cupping them in my hand, I put a protective spell over them. I give one to everyone to provide some protection over them “Keep this with you for protection against any blows. Do NOT lose it.”
Crowley
Fuck no as soon as I step in I am thrown back out of the building DAMN IT
Abbadon
I paints circle with my thumb on you hand putting my head on your shoulder
John
takes coin thanks ruby
Henry
watches and walks slowly inside
Eileen
+Crowley! John! Sam!+ rushes over to them
Sam
At least we can be sure that this is the place we were looking for. Back on my feet I move cautiously into the building
Crowley
takes one of the coins and shoves it in my pocket not bothering to say thank you before I turn to go back in
Lucifer
Smacks the ground and protects my love then Pushes myself up the fuck
Derek
and you know what? I'd kill her all over again! I let out a small scream as it tightens again and this time I almost do get sick others will find me. Youre gonna have one pissed off King on your hands. You'll die. So have your fun while you can enjoy it I try breathing through the pain
Sam
+I'm good Eileen. Keep alert+
Henry
takes a coin putting it in my boot
Abbadon
I hold you as you get up and jump to my feet kissing you and thanking you u glare at the place
John
draws gun out and whispers check corners and rafters if she's here she may try to ambush us
Mariota
do you think that petty little demon scares me? I’ve known Crowley since he got off the rack
Lucifer
Takes coin and puts it in my jacket pocket
Crowley
walking into the building with Eileen who also took a coin and put it in her pocket Keep your eyes open, all of you, ears too
Abbadon
take the coin thanks I put it under my tongue
Mariota
hearing the others enter even though I can’t be seen I send a blast of magic sending them all flying back toward the wall
Lucifer
If I wanna double protection I will just kiss you Winks
Eileen
nods
Abbadon
I smile you are my double protector.
Derek
spots blood on you then you should know you should never cross him seeing you hurt the others, I scream out "SHES HERE!!" I get sick a tiny bit as a new wave of pain floods me
Crowley
being thrown back again I manage to stay on my feet this time and just slide back some What the hell? We need to split up!
Sam
Continuing to move through the abandoned flour mill, gun at the ready. Since being knocked off my feet when I entered, I knew it wouldn't take much for Mariota to get the upper hand. We needed to be as together as possible
Lucifer
Once again stays behind the ground, making a rock into a rose and gives it to Abbadon
Henry
has my dagger out and moves inward
Abbadon
I take it and eat it. Cause I never got roses before
Crowley
looking around I notice that the first floor is empty son of a bitch do we have the wrong place? I clench my fists feeling my ring dig into my skin as I do and a wave of anger washes over me again
Eileen
looks around shining my flashlight +why do I get a feeling of duja vu.. about another case from a while back+
John
searches rooms and clears part of first floor then waits on others
Lucifer
laughs babe it's not food
Alex
I look around holding a gun
Mariota
laughs they can’t see you my poor ginger…. And it won’t be easy to undo that spell
Henry
Are we sure we are in the right place
Abbadon
I spit it back sorry.
Sam
Circles back around to where Dad is and whispers clear
Derek
drools onto the floor a bit, panting do what you want to me. That's what you want right? Cause I killed her? Leave them out of it
Lucifer
Shakes my head I love you, you crazy psycho
Crowley
slamming my fist into a pole I dont know closing my eyes I again reach out with my senses Nothing! It’s like he's just....
Abbadon
I shake my head I don't know why you do. But I love you too.
Mariota
killed her? Hardly! You’ve been working along side her! I want her destroyed!
Henry
flinches we will find him
Alex
I jump what about tracking the phone or ring?
John
in a place this big it would echo and would confuse us
Alex
Oh
Crowley
Dont flinch, I would never hurt you my eyes flash red But I will torture the person who has done this to the point they will regret the very day they were created
Derek
"Oh bite me." hisses as a new wave floors me and I sag against the chains holding me, I let a small whimper out
Mariota
sending out another blast of magic I strengthen my barrier and send Eileen and John flying back into the wall, Sam is knocked back into the cement grinding stones
Henry
No your really scary when mad and upset
John
gets knocked back ooohhhh fucckkk
Lucifer
Dances in a corner with Abbadon, waltzing around the building
Abbadon
I look at you while dancing I think Crowley is pissed.
Alex
I know you are mad and upset but we will find Derek
Lucifer
When isn't he pissed???
Alex
He is
Sam
Suddenly lifted off my feet, I could feel the movement as I am sent through the air, smacking hard against the old mills grinding stones. Pain shoots through my left shoulder and I have difficulty moving that arm. Fuck Groaning I roll to my knees and slowly get back up, trying to see through the darkness what happened to the others
Abbadon
I love you bear.
Crowley
You aren't helping either! Thought you cared about him!
Abbadon
I dance us inside with the group I really don't know.
Derek
I whisper out a no as they get thrown, unable to move please just do want you want to me. Leave them out of it I’m begging you another wave hits me and I shut my eyes tightly you'll never break me..
Lucifer
When did I say that?? Tilts my head didn't I say in the bunker you can't protect no one?
Alex
I love you too Abby and we all need find Derek
Crowley
seeing that moose may actually be hurt I growl and rush over to him As much as I loathe it I need you at full strength, do you need me to heal you?
John
John gets up seeing Sam thrown into the grind stones he yells out Sam are you okay how bad are you hurt
Ruby
Rushing over to Sam, I check his condition
Abbadon
You are right. We do
Crowley
hearing Derek FUCK! Guys, i can hear him! He is here! We have to find him
Abbadon
What can we do?
Henry
Guys, please don't
Alex
I heard him too we need to split up!
Lucifer
Stops dancing okay let's split up, some of you go with Abby, the rest of you with me. One team will go up, the other will go down, we will find the human I mean the lovely Derek
Abbadon
hear him too I raise my head to try and pinpoint where it comes from but can't
Sam
I'm okay, just landed rough. We've got to find out where this bitch is at in here Tried to test my arms ability to move
Crowley
What Luci said, let’s go! Dont be stubborn. looks around hearing him now Lets get moving
Lucifer
I literally just fucking said that!!
Alex
Henry with me
Abbadon
I look at you and mouth “quilty” be careful as I go to my group
John
sorry didn’t hear you
Lucifer
Stupid human ears, they're amazing right Walks over and heals Sam you'll live
Abbadon
I roll my eyes you are not a monkey stop repeating what he sa
Henry
Fine leans against a wall
Derek
I cough up more blood from my mouth as a strong wave of pain hits me. I struggle trying to get out making the chains raddle a bit as I heave
Crowley
Abby let’s just go we can take the downstairs with Alex and Henry, Lucifer can take John and Sam with Ruby and go upstairs
Mariota
keeping the barriers up I send another blast Derek making him scream out, enjoying the anger on the demons face when I see her… the witch…. My pendant begins to glow and I target a spell right to her and send her up against the wall… a duel of magic like our old days could be fun
Sam
Ruby, with us seeing this whole building empty, could she be some kind of masking spell? Can you feel anything?
Lucifer
Why do I always get stuck with the Winchesters!!! Someone stab me with an archangel blade already!!
Alex
I will be careful Crowley I nod
Abbadon
Ok. You take the front. I'll back up. I wait for you to go
Ruby
recovering from the blast, I tell Sam “I think you're right Sam." checking my satchel "I’m going to need some ingredients for a counter spell. They are back at the bunker. Frankincense, calendula, rosemary, basil and sage. Sam, Eileen, I could use some help with the spell.”
Sam
Whatever you need
Crowley
walking towards the staircase I see I head down with the others following behind me
Eileen
+sure+
Alex
I follow Crowley and Abby walking with Henry
Lucifer
Leans the Winchesters and lower class demon upstairs groaning as I do
Ruby
"I'm going to need someone to go to the bunker and get the ingredients after they finish their search"
Abbadon
I wait for the others to go and I take the back protecting them
Derek
I scream out finally and get sick a bit to the side again please...leave them alone...I'm begging you...you can have me please let them go… I sag again thoroughly wrecked as more blood makes their way down my arms and my ankles stain the floor of blood making it all fresh again
John
starts checking the rooms clearing them and sweeping them like I did back when I was a marine
Henry
follows Crowley but keeps my distance
Crowley
finishing the search of the basement I curse I can still fucking hear him but can't see him!
Mariota
oh sweetie… I’ll get you all… for keeping me trapped… stealing my power… I’m just getting started!
Derek
"No..just take me...its a fair trade.." I pant
Lucifer
Looks around upstairs, kicking dirt under my feet
Eileen
searches with everyone downstairs looking for clues
John
continues to sweep the upstairs with the team
Mariota
not even close! You were the weakest there so I started with you… women and especially pregnant women aren’t my style typically
Abbadon
do you see something,?
Crowley
looking over at Eli +nothing, Henry, Alex, Abbadon Lets head back upstairs+
Sam
Follows up the stairs after Lucifer, hoping that fallen angel has his mind focused on what we are trying to do here
Eileen
+yeah nothing down here+
Abbadon
I just fall back again keeping their back safe
Lucifer
Leans against the wall shaking my head nothing. Absolutely nothing, how is there nothing.
Alex
I nod follow
Henry
Agree walks upstairs
Eileen
heads back upstairs
Crowley
Where the hell are you heads back upstairs clenching my hand around your knife in my pocket
Derek
oh good. You have morals. Good start to recovery. Hello my name is Evil Witch and I used to kidnap and torture people! Hello Evil Witch. I can feel the metal getting close to the bone as I groan loudly again
Sam
I don't understand it either. We know that she's gotta be here
Crowley
Meet back on the first floor we found nothing
Lucifer
Let's just meet back with the others Goes down the stairs to the first floor and shake my head nothing also
Mariota
you’re feisty, I like that. Under different circumstances I might train you instead… but alas it’s not to be sending another wave of pain into the heads of all the humans
Abbadon
I follow the group to the first floor. Looking around
Sam
Meets back up with John to head back downstairs. This wasn't working, Derek's time might be running out
John
heads back downstairs
Eileen
follows Crowley to the first floor worrying about where Der could be
Crowley
seeing everyone back on the first floor What fucking now?!
Derek
I'm ginger. We usually are I smirk before I accidentally bang my head hard against the pain and I almost pass out, screaming please my love...I'm here...find me...end this pain....
Eileen
+Crowley can you go back to the bunker and get the ingredients Ruby needs for the spell?+
Lucifer
Puts my finger against your lips inside voices crowley, inside voices.
Ruby
my coins helped
John
starts felling pain in my head AHHHHH it hurts ahhhhh
Ruby
"Crowley, can you go to the bunker? I’m going to need some ingredients from the bunker. Mrs. Butters can help you find them.”
Crowley
growling at both Ruby and Eileen I am not going anywhere! Not until we find him!
Henry
grabs my head in pain
Sam
Crowley, we aren't going to be able to locate this witch without some magic of our own. You'll get there and back fastest
Crowley
seeing them both grab their heads in pain Kiddo! hears Derek too Damn it!!
Alex
I grab my head AGHHHH AHHHHH Fell on her knees
Lucifer
Runs over to henry hey kiddo it's okay you're okay Tries healing him
Crowley

Eileen

Alex
Grab her hair it hurt ! IT HURTTTTT Cried out
Crowley
What in hell goes to her now and starts healing her
Lucifer

Henry

Eileen
+Crowey...l.. go...please...+ keeps holding my head
Lucifer
Wraps my arms around you, trying to comfort you it's okay, shhh it's okay, I'm here.
Crowley
glaring at Luci I want to argue but I know he is right Take care of them I will be right back vanishes
Sam
Seeing the others appearing to be in pain, I can't understand what's happening Henry! moving over to Eileen +Eileen?+ Signing is incredibly painful and limited to my gun hand
Ruby
"Thank you! Ask Mrs. Butters for Frankincense, calendula, rosemary, basil and sage.”
Henry
Make it stop
Ruby
hoping he heard me before leaving, I go and check on Sam
Mariota
sending more pain through your body all you can do now is scream
Abbadon
I grab you and try heal you again bear I'm right here
Lucifer
I always do Glares watching you leave Abby, take care of Eileen and Alex, I got Henry and the Winchesters
Eileen
+I'll be...okay...Sammy..+ tries to give him a smile
John
screams out and lays onto back with hands on his head MOTHER FUCKER FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK AHHHHH
Abbadon
Got it. I use my powers to bring Eileen to me trying to heal her too
Lucifer
Places my hand on your head and numbs the pain, the best I can, my eyes glowing a little shhh you got this kiddo, think of all the cake you can have when we go home.
Crowley
at the bunker I quickly hit the supply room and grab what she requested shoving it all in a bag I snapped into my hands before vanishing again back to them Ruby, Here! Frankincense, calendula, rosemary, basil and sage Everything you need!
Ruby
"Easy Sam. Easy!" I can tell by the position of the shoulder it's dislocated. "Sam, I'm sorry but this is going "I shove the bone back in place "to hurt".
Eileen
screams kinda
Alex
Abby! Groan and scream AHHHHHHHHHH IT HURT MAKE IT STOP!
Abbadon
I hold your head trying heal you
Mariota
hearing the ingredients for the spell I have an idea of what’s up so I weaken the magic on the humans and focus on my barrier
Henry
I’m trying
Abbadon
I hold your head with my other hand trying to help you too. Cuddling you I'm here bear. I'm trying!!
Eileen
closes my eyes against the pain
Derek
AHHH!! PLEASE OLEASE IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE!! I sob fully crying now AHHH!! the metal digs into me harshly and I'm now covered in blood from the gash my head just took do what you want to me! Bring it! More attention to me less attention on them! my throat now hurts from the screaming I did for the past two hours
Lucifer
Fully heals you and helps you onto your feet we need to get ready to fight this thing, and I need you to be strong and protect Alex.
Sam
Not expecting the sudden snapping pain, I stagger a few steps Shit! Ruby! Walking in a circle to try and walk it off, the blood flow returning to my hand burns and stings
Henry
I can do that
Abbadon
I heal you
Eileen
+thanks Abby...+
Lucifer
That’s my favorite person Smiles and gives you my blade take care of it
Ruby
"You'll live. I'm going to need you for my spell. And Eileen."
Abbadon
I hold you closer finally able to heal you there you go bear. I kiss your forehead
Lucifer
Let's kill a mother fucking witch!
Crowley
as she takes the bag I move over to Sam Moose I'm going to heal that fully and I won’t take no for a fucking argument putting my hand on you I completely heal your shoulder I can still hear him! Ruby hurry up!
Crowley
She is MINE!
John
John still screaming
Mariota
gritting my teeth and using all the power I can muster right now I get ready for a face off
Lucifer
Oh shit he's still here?? Heals john oops
Sam
Warn a guy next time! opens and closes my hand to get it back working Tell me what I need to do
Henry
takes it and walks over to Alex
Abbadon
I look at you so you can read my lips any time
Alex
I groan look around and I stand up we need get to Derek
Eileen
+how can I help?×
Derek
whimpering I try getting your attention "_please...leave them alone... you have me...I'm fun...I'm...I'm...I'm good...good bait.."
John
John stops screaming felling better thanks for not forgetting me
Lucifer
Welcome back did you get what we need
Ruby
I take the ingredients and crush them into a pile. Saying words over it, I tell Sam and Eileen, +I'm going to need your energy combined with mind. Hold hands and stay near.+
Sam
Finally grudgingly accepting the help. Almost instantly I was pain free
Lucifer
Yeah definitely didn't forget you Clears throat
Abbadon
I get up with you still holding you yes we should just try and take it easy.
Alex
I look over Henry we need go get Derek. Ok I nod
Mariota
bait is what you were child, I’ve heard the one I’m after. I need to see how good she still is…
Crowley
I did! still hearing Derek my eyes turn red again He is here and we WILL save him!
Ruby
Combining the ingredients, I gather my energy and focus it forward toward Mariota.
“Beáti pedes mei, qui ámbulant viam mysterii.Benedicta genua mea ante sacrum altare flecto. Benedictum sit cor meum, formatum decore et amore.Benedicta sint labia mea, qui nomina sacra pronuntiant!”
Sam
I stick my gun into my waist band and reach out for Eileen's hands
Henry
No I need to make sure your safe they can do that on their own
Eileen
takes Sam's hand
John
grabs my gun makes sure it’s ready and working while Sam, Eileen and Ruby work on the spell
Lucifer
Watches Ruby, now by Abby’s side ready to fight
Alex
Ok I nod took a deep breath
Derek
"Wait...you said you wanted me...you can train me...please leave them alone..." whimpers as the fresh pain of wave hits me please please..
Abbadon
Right behind you
Henry
takes you to the stairs and sits you down
Crowley
pulling Derek's blade out I ready myself for the second I can see the bitch
Charlie
the barrier drops and you can see an injured Derek and a surprisingly young looking raven haired woman with sapphire eyes, and a glowing pendant that matched. She wore an old fashioned red dress with a black hooded cloak and she looked ready to pounce
Ruby
“Per omne sanctum mando tibi ut desinas et desinas.mittam te ad infernum, a quo egressus es!”
Abbadon
I look at you from the corner of my eye and smile finally and I'm getting ready to fight
Crowley
DEREK!!!!! rushing towards him Fuck Fuck Fuck!
Lucifer
Oh...shit Glares at the women, recognizing her as I gulp a little
Alex
I sit and took a deep breath I ok you ok?
Sam
Closing my eyes and trying to block out all of the chaos around us, I focus my energy on Ruby and try to push it out for her to feel and use
Mariota
holding up my hands I block the spell and send it back toward you
Ruby
I crash into the wall. Luckily, I have a pocket with several of the coins I gave the others. The pain is at a minimum. Gathering my energy again, I push it forward at her. “Certa me in periculo tuo bitch. Ego te in aeternum ad infernum referam!”
Eileen
does the same as Sam hoping it helps
John
sees the witch and tries to get a clear shot but can't
Henry
I will be fine when we get home
Derek
I can't even lift my head up anymore. I'm covered in blood, wrists and ankles in blood from the metal. My neck is covered in blood from the gash I took to the head and I'm bleeding from the inside of my mouth.
Ruby
I see the pendent around her neck. I focus all my energy at it. "Ostende nobis viam magam cuius rune hoc est.Ostende nobis viam."
Alex
I nod
Ruby
I keep the power focused “Per omne sanctum mando tibi ut desinas et desinas.mittam te ad infernum, a quo egressus es!”
Crowley
getting to you I lift your head gently by the chin trying to not hurt you Derek its me, please look at me
Sam
My eyes snap open when I hear Ruby falter. I cna clearly see Derek now and the woman that has to be the witch we're seeking. Ruby is up and back at it quickly and I close my eyes again and refocus
Mariota
I send out a blast of magic sending the whole team flying backward and away from Derek, then I focus on Ruby and send a message to her once we were friends… we could have done so much together… you betrayed me… now you and your whole little family will pay… the blood on the little detective is just the beginning…. I’ll take you apart piece by piece… your book had magic from lucifer…. Mine is from Michael….. I’ll end you like I promised him and rewards
will be mine! with a final blast there is a blinding blue light and the witch is gone and the room filled with a foul smelling smoke
Eileen
opens my eyes for a second seeing my brother knowing I gotta keep my focused for Ruby I close my eyes praying the others can get to him
Derek
I open my eyes and look at you, exhausted from the past pain. I can't get the strength to speak knew...knew you'd find me… I try smiling but can't manage it
Ruby
I stagger back. I can barely stand. I look around seeing how the others are
Lucifer
Lightly Grips my head, falling to my knees as the witch vanishes. Michael power. She reeks off it. Fear actually ran in my veins
Sam
Knocked off my feet, I shield my eyes from the blinding bleu light
Abbadon
I run to you holding you Luc.. what's wrong?
Lucifer
I put my head in your chest and say one word Michael...
Crowley
being yanked back away from Derek I scream out NO! impacting against one of the barn pillars I hear a crack but ignore it and stand rushing back towards him Derek! getting to you I remove the chains from your wrists breaking them easily catching you as you fall into my arms
Eileen
let's go of Sam's hand covering my eyes from the light
John
knocked back a bit while I watch her vanish well that’s one way to make one hell of an exit.
Crowley
Someone fucking help me! Free his damn ankles!
Abbadon
I hold you tight hugging you shh.. I'm here. It's gonna be ok.
Lucifer
Help Derek... please
John
I get up and run to crowley and Derek and try to break the chains off
Ruby
Heading over to Derek, I help Crowley release him
Sam
Climbing back to my feet, I go to help Eileen back up and look around to see if we are actually clear of danger from around us
Eileen
+thanks Sam+ stands back up
Derek
pants and just completely falls into you, not having any strength anymore. The ankles cause me more pain as fresh wounds open back up and stain the floors again. I don't have any strength left in me
Alex
I waddle and run to Crowley and Derek DEREK!
Abbadon
I hold you I'm not leaving you. He has crow. You have me.
Eileen
runs over to Der and Crowley
Abbadon
Crowley is he ok? Do you need help?
Lucifer
I crawl from Abby’s arms and looks at Crowley want me to heal him
Crowley
I’m here Derek, I’m here as they finish freeing you I start to heal your injuries fuck what did she do to you He's hurt bad, we need to get him back. Luci, I can't fully heal him, I don't know why, please...
Ruby
Finding somewhere to sit, my legs finally give way.
Sam
Tries to keep back to give them all space to work. I can see that Derek is beaten up but does appear to be moving and sine Crowley isn't raging or trying to kill us all, figure he most be semi-okay
Derek
I am not moving lol
Eileen
stays back a bit letting Luci and Crowley help Derek
Lucifer
Ignores my own mind and stands up, then grabs Derek, picking him, grabbing Crowley’s arm Abby and Ruby grab the others, we are going home Vanishes with Crowley, Derek and appears at the bunker, placing Derek in the bed may and begins healing him
Derek
I breath a sigh of relief as my wrists are healed and my ankles as well "thank...thank you.."
Abbadon
We need to get back to the cars.
Sam
Walk over to Ruby I drove here, going to head back. You zapping to help back at the Bunker?
Eileen
+Abby is right.+
Ruby
"No Sam. I can't be around these people. I'm going to the apartment."
Crowley
Y’all go back and get them, I am staying here with Derek, still holding him
Henry
Gets in my car to drive back
Sam
nods I get it. You did good tonight. We wouldn't have found him with you. Turns to Eileen +you want to ride back with me?+
Alex
I waddle and get in car and put her seatbelt on and took a deep breath
Eileen
+Sure Sam+
Ruby
This is all my fault. It was ME she wanted. I pop back to the apartment
John
I get in the car with Sam
Henry

do you know of any where zira is doing laundry and gives crowley one of his shirts by mistake cuz he thinks it looks too small for him and then crowley questions him about it and finds out hes insecure about his weight?? sorry for the specific ask uwu
That is a very specific ask! I don't have anything exactly like that, but i have a few fics involving laundry/shirts/insecurities. Hopefully you'll enjoy these...
Rainy Day Insecurities by jeffersonshattricks (M)
Prompt: If you’re still looking for chubby Az prompts, I’ve got millions 😂 I think he might be reluctant taking off his shirt in front of Crowley for the first time and Crowley keeps trying to sniff out why he’s avoiding it every time they’re about to do anything- and eventually Az admits it’s because he doesn’t want him to be “disappointed.” It baffles Crowley, and breaks his heart. Obviously, he has to set his angel to rights and try to make sure that Az never feels that way ever again
A Tidy Spell by Suvroc (G)
Really nothing but an excuse for them to be domestic and soft.
--
For the one true pairing prompt:
Crowley: I love you
Aziraphale: *shoving laundry basket into Crowley's hands* stop saying I love you to get out of chores
You Spin Me Right 'Round by cheerios_and_wine & Sway (E)
[Aziraphale] had just turned the page when he heard it. A soft but distinct thud-thump. Thud-thump. Thud-thump. Clearly coming from the machine Crowley had used.
At first he tried to ignore it. It was probably just the machine making machine-sounds. Nothing to be alarmed about. Right? But what if it wasn’t? What if Crowley had dropped something in there along with his laundry? A wallet perhaps? Or a mobile phone?
When Crowley saunters into a flat in Aziraphale's building, Aziraphale tells himself he's keeping an eye out for the man out of friendly neighbourliness, and not because he wants to ogle a cute arse in tight clothes. But when something goes awry with Crowley's laundry, Aziraphale is the only one around to save the day (or at least, Crowley's clothes). What he finds shocks him, but maybe it's just the invitation he needs to begin something new.
The Shirt by DictionaryWrites (E)
This was an old shirt, of course, and he’d been a little more trim back then, but he hadn’t given it much thought, had merely…
He was all but bursting from it: the silk was drawn tight over the twin swells of his chest, over the curve of his belly, and it was riding up, revealing the outward curve of his belly over the band of his trousers, the fabric drawn taut.
“Bless, angel, are you trying to kill me?” Crowley demanded, and he rolled his hips against Aziraphale’s arse, grabbing at his belly from each side and dragging his fingers over the silk, his pointed chin digging into the meat of Aziraphale’s shoulder. “You look delicious.”
Do our followers know of any fics similar to anon's request?

I wrote this for Valentine's Day this year after I saw this card:
And it totally looked like something Crowley would give Aziraphale haha. So enjoy :)
*Phone rings in the bookshop. Aziraphale picks up. It's Crowley.*
- Hello, Angel. Have I, by any chance, dropped my black leather coat at your place?
- Well, hello, Crowley. Which one, you own too many of them.
- Oh, you know, the... The... Well... You're probably right. Can't even describe it without making it look like the one I'm wearing right now.
- So how do you know it's missing?
- I just know. There's a void in my wardrobe. That's how I know. But it's ok, it's a cheap one, maybe it's in this mess I call a home. And... How are things up there?
- Oh... Things are just fine. Today is a special day, many clients have come looking for books, and I'm very much pleased to notice that people find appeasing to give books as gifts in a special date like today's.
- (hesitant) Special... Date?
- (Azi starts blushing for some reason) Valentine's...
- Oh, sure. That date. Can't stand it. Too much love on the streets. No wonder I've got a headache since I woke up this morning. Everything is so... Pink. And happy. Urgh, makes my stomach...
- (Irritated) I see, Crowley, you hate valentines day. Nothing new about it. If you excuse me, there's a line of clients waiting to get their sweeties a book.
- Oh, fine, then. Talk to you later.
- That remains to be seen.
- Wha...
*Azi hangs up, feeling a bit ouraged. He breathes deeply before going back to the clients, his eyes go over a chair next to him. The black coat is there. He can not only see it, but smell it from that distance. He sighs, reaching discreetly to it. Aziraphale had hidden a little poem in its pocket. He thought it would be sweet if he picked it up today, and found it alone, of course, maybe it would put a smile on his devilish handsome face. He wanted to play Crowley a bit, but he was so unpleasant Aziraphale gave up on the entire joke. He shakes his head, too upset to finish the gesture. But the smell trailed behind him. He felt so much love around him, humans could be so charming sometimes, that he forgot about Crowley for a while. "
Later that day...
*Aziraphale is organizing the last pile of books on the counter. It was a fine day, pleasant, cheery, fun. He made a good sale, and earlier that day he had picked up some roses to give as a courtesy to the buyers. He had cut up lots of pink and red paper hearts to have customers write a message to their sweethearts as a surprise inside the books. He had even baked some chocolate muffins in the shape of hearts, but as a treat to himself, guessing he would probably be alone by the end of the day, as always, but in the company of a good cup of tea and a new prophecy book that had just arrived from the 15th century...*
*The doorbell rings. He raises his eyes. Crowley is coming in, taking his glasses off. *
- Crowley... (hesitant) What a... (forcing a smile) Delightful surprise.
- Hey, angel. (looking around, embarrassed) I thought you'd be finished for today, so I thought we could... Have dinner, or something. You know, nothing special, I mean, we always have dinner, it's...
- (smiling the tiniest of grins, out of sight, still with his back turned to Crowley, putting the books back on the shelf) Oh, yes, just dinner. I suppose the Ritz is going to be a bit... Busy for the night, so...
- Oh. You're right. Maybe it is not the best night to dine out...
- Indeed, my friend. (a bit optimistic) But we could arrange something...
- I don't know, angel. Now that you've mentioned it, it's true. It's gonna be noisy, and... Crowded... And... You're probably right. I didn't really think through it.
- Well, I... (he turns around, getting closer to Crowley, who is still at the door) I could cook for us. I mean, I do not mean to brag about it, but I happen to be a very good cook, thank you.
- Oh, I do know that. We could have some... Pasta?
- I'm thinking a very tasty ravioli, marinara sauce, maybe some corn bread and cheese, and... Oh, we'll see.
- I don't wanna impose...
- Of course not, my friend, it is no imposition.
- Then let me get us some red wine to go along with it.
- (Excited again) Fabulous. Then, I will get dinner done, meet you here in an hour?
- Sure, sure. I will... Get the wine.
*Crowley is out on the street, it's been one hell of a task to find fine red wine around, but he managed. When he was getting back to the bookshop, he saw something that sparkled an idea on his mind... *
*Back to the bookshop. Aziraphale is cooking, much amused and pleased with himself. He's distracted checking the taste of his marinara, and he can't see Crowley coming closer.*
- Aziraphale?
- (Jumping) Oh, for good heavens! You almost never use my name, what has got into you to do that?
- (smiling, a bit shy, unusual for him) I... I... (going to say something, but changing his mind) I found our wine. Your favorite of course. Had to put some effort into it, what one doesn't do for a nice bottle of Pinot Noir?
- Oh... (frowning, a bit confused) Definitely. Would you be so kind to put it on the table, along with the basket of bread?
- Yeah, yeah, no problem. (he picks up the wine and the basket, still fighting with words. He makes up his mind, dropping both, and picking something from his pocket, handing it abruptly to Aziraphale). Here. It's for you.
- (Startled, running his hand on the white apron he put on to cook, a little upset, maybe thinking the should have picked a more appropriate moment to give gifts) Ah... Well... (speechless, he picks up. It's a card, a blank white paper, written in black and white, very simple, very blasé. Aziraphale listens to his heart in his years, reading it intently).
- (Crowley starts talking fastly, trying to distract the mood, the sweetness of the occasion) I know it's valentine's day, but you know, humans send cards to one another, anyway, it just felt weird to just not say anything, so I got you this card. It's not a big deal. It doesn't really mean anything. There isn't even a heart on it. So basically it's a card. Saying hi. (Exhales, embarrassed) Oh, forget it...
*Aziraphale hugs him, tender and carefully, his eyes are glistening, he feels much happier than he can express, but he just hugs him, hoping the gesture speaks for itself. Crowley is still as a rock, eyes wide, hands on his pockets. He tries for a pat on the back, but he can't seem to make his hands work. He notices Aziraphale's face is very close to his, he can smell his skin, his white smooth hair, almost tempted to touch it... They part. Aziraphale is smiling beautifully, like only an angel could. Like only Aziraphale could, actually. *
- Thank you, dear.
*Crowley nods his head, not sure of what he could say, but Aziraphale doesn't seem to need it. He goes back to the stove, still holding the card close to his heart without even noticing. It makes Crowley smile, but he takes the bottle and the basket back to put them on the table. The smile never left his face.*
*They have a nice dinner, talking, joking, discussing, eating and drinking. It was a fine night, like many others they had together. But this one had something to it, a different glow, a lighter atmosphere. Crowley is ready to go back to his apartment, his heart is a little heavy, and he wonders why. It is an unusual feeling, but curiously, he can't remember feeling it towards anyone else but Aziraphale. They stand by the door, Aziraphale has that candid smile again after going in the back and getting Crowleys coat.*
- Here. I was just playing you.
- I knew it! Aren't you becoming a trickster yourself?
- (smiles wider) I've got my charms...
- (low voice) You do. (Louder) Ah, so... I should get going. It was a fine meal, I must say.
- Well, thank you. It was a fine company, as always, my friend.
- Well... Happy... Night. Of February... 14th.
- Ditto, in fact, it's almost February 15th.
- Sure... See you around.
- Definitely
- Bye, Angel.
- Bye, Crowley.
*Crowley walks towards his car, feeling a bit dizzy. It was probably all that love thing in the air. At this hour, a bit more than love should be in the air, in fact. He breathed the air, closing his eyes, holding the coat in his hands. Something fell, and he picked up. It was a pink piece of paper. It had Aziraphale handwriting in it. He frowned.*
- He wrote a poem. For... Me.
*He turns around, looking at the bookshop, but now it's all dark and empty. Aziraphale probably went to rest. He would not bother him, right? Maybe... Maybe he didn't even intended for him to find it, maybe he forgot. Yes, he must have forgotten, he didn't even mention... He looks down at the paper again. The feeling of being completely filled inside, but so empty at the same time. So light and so heavy. So close and so far. He gets into his car, putting the poem back in his pocket. He starts driving, too pleased to admit. But the smile is there, crossing his face with the light of a thousand stars.*
*A light shines in the upper window of the bookshop. Aziraphale watched the entire scene. He eats a muffin, too glad to mind, looking at the card over the table. It was the best Valentines Day he had in centuries. Things were getting better."

Whumptober 2021: Do you trust me?
You can read this, and my other Whumptober stories, on AO3 here: Hurts So Good: A Whumptober 2021 Collection
Summary: Crowley isn't a very trusting demon; he's learned better in his life.
Well, maybe he trusts one being.
They were pushed out of heaven. Most of them. Crowley just sort of sauntered out, not always sure where he was going but knowing it was better than staying.
Well.
Maybe he was pushed, too. In a way.
'Do you trust me?' Lucifer had said. He wasn't all big and with the horns and the so on and so forth back then. Looked less like a Balrog. Rather handsome, actually.
Angels were beautiful, after all. All of them. (That's what had attracted Crowley to Aziraphale at first. Obviously now he thought Aziraphale quite handsome, but at the time he was, well. Rumpled. The kind of angel where they didn't break the mould after he was done because there was no mould because he was so utterly unique and interesting and, well, not-beautiful, not in the way angels were.)
Do you trust me? And that was that. Angels pushed out of Heaven, a great War – Crowley avoided that too – and out, all of you cast out, and Crowley made it cool. He didn't actually trust Lucifer. Well, that wasn't true – at first, yes. Later, no, not at all. He didn't trust anyone for a long time, there didn't seem to be any point in it.
But he was pushed, and he made it look cool. Sauntered down to Hell, even though it was more like tumbling head over heels down a staircase, but he didn't let on that it hurt so much. That the sensation of falling down stairs, of ligaments torn and bones shattered, that was nothing to removal of God's grace, the removal of that love.
For a very long time, Crowley thought that, perhaps, he could no longer love.
“Do you trust me?”
No, Crowley did not. Not for a very long time; longer, even, than he thought he couldn't love anymore.
“My dearest! I've got the most wonderful idea!”
Crowley looked up from the Infernal Times – he liked to keep his finger on the pulse and all – and blinked, taking in Aziraphale in all his bustle. He'd just come in from a visit to the farmer's market, and practically exuded autumn.
Aziraphale made occasional attempts to move with the times, usually when fashion was happening to cycle back to some earlier era, the earlier the better of course. (Aziraphale and the New Romantics had been distressingly au couture, and Crowley always resented him slightly when he whipped out some original article of clothing and turned heads on the street.
Then again, a female-presenting Aziraphale in a genuine Greek chiton during the Regency had been really quite amazing, so there were some bonuses.)
Today his attempt was a shawl-collared cardigan, cream-coloured of course. Relatively a la mode, but ruined with his baggy 50's trousers. Then again, it made him look like what he was in his heart of hearts: an antiquated old scholar and absolute screaming queen.
“Oh?” he asked, craning his head to look in Aziraphale's twee wicker basket. Had he got apple-cider doughnuts? They were Crowley's favourite kind, after all, and he thought he spotted a box from that particular bakery's stand.
Aziraphale was in a Mood, though. Of course; he'd pretty much constantly been in a chipper mood since they'd taken this little cottage out here in the quiet countryside. Crowley had worried he'd grow bored – or, worse, that they'd grow sick of each other – but now that they were settled it seemed unlikely. He couldn't imagine being bored with a garden, and Aziraphale, and anyway London wasn't so far away if they needed good sushi, or a museum.
“It's ever so lovely – shall we go and have a picnic on the green? We can stop by that stall that sells those lovely empanadas, and of course we should get a bottle of perry. I'm so glad the Farmer's Market here is open so late, we can have the most scrumptious luncheon.”
Crowley smiled. “'course, angel. That sounds just the thing.”
Aziraphale grinned, his eyes literally twinkling, and he tapped the side of his nose, and Crowley seriously questioned his own taste. Aziraphale was ridiculous.
“Do you trust me?”
No.
Yes.
The last time this happened you had your soul ripped away.
He doesn't mean it, he's teasing.
He means it.
And you do.
“My dearest?”
Crowley shook himself and smiled. “Of course I trust you. Why d'you ask?”
Aziraphale gave a happy wiggle. “You'll see. It's a surprise.”
Crowley sighed. “Is it a book?”
“Not at all! Now, no twenty questions for you – let me put these things away and then I think we can take a lovely walk. It's so nice out, and you've hardly left the house today.”
“All right,” Crowley said nonchalantly. He loved a good ramble with Aziraphale, the angel complained endlessly and seemed to have infinite energy. (Well, technically they both did, but human bodies did get a bit tired.) But he wasn't going to let onto that. He'd been seen enough for one day.
(It was a lovely ramble, and a lovely lunch, and Crowley only regretted trusting Aziraphale because it ended in the botched performance of some new magic tricks, and that was never going to be a good time.
He trusted Aziraphale, though, and he reckoned, quietly and where no one could tell, deep in his heart – that was the important bit.)

What are some other supernatural romances that you like and recommend? They can be any media; books, films, tv-shows, anime and manga.
……. So maybe it’s because of my preferences but the romance aspect of a lot of these are subjective or minimal (They’re more plot focused and people just kind of fall in love along the way)
It is impossible to like, do a search on this because a million like YA novels pop up, and like, I’m not even looking for NOTHING BUT ROMANCE, I want a sick plot and ALSO romance
but off the top of my head this is the best I can do
Manga/Anime
Fruits basket: slaps obviously, I should not even have to mention it, textbook pure love and acceptance by the heroine ends up saving the monster boy from despair. Tohru is an incredible protagonist.
Noragami: Suffering heavy, all gods are real, read the manga, the art is beautiful and the anime has a tone problem where they try to make it more comedic like……………….Noragami is not a comedy, it has comedic moments and is very funny, but the story really dark in places. (Also it’s written by a woman so, even the like, token sexy character isn’t that bad fan service wise and also is a character outside of that)
BEASTARS: Uses animal nature as a metaphor for society, we’ve all seen zootopia and Robin Hood, we know how this goes. If you’re a sucker for size difference (and I am, note Sidon and 9 foot tall Vampire lady) you’ll probably get it. Zootopia’s success managed to normalize furries enough that Beastars was able to be made and honesty I’m proud. Season one is on Netflix, but you’re not going to want to watch it in any communal areas because there will be questions and scenes that you will not want to have to explain to your parents or housemates because….it’s spicy.
Frau Faust: like the Ancient Magus Bride but less problematic, can enjoy mostly guilt free
Mugen Spiral: It’s like a two volume manga, I’ll admit I have not read it since I was a teen, so maybe it has not aged gracefully shrugs
(Honorary mention but it’s not a romance)
Girl from the other side: I AM PRAYING THAT THIS WILL NOT BE A ROMANCE AND TURN INTO GROOMING, I JUST WANT THE MONSTER TO BE HER DAD, WHY IS THAT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND SHE IS A CHILD. IT DOESN’T EVEN HAVE ROMANCE AS A GENRE SO MY FEARS MAY BE UNWARRANTED I’VE JUST BEEN HURT TOO MANY TIMES BEFORE
Movies
Shape of Water: It’s literally a supernatural romance but also…textbook using the “falling in love with a monster“ as a metaphor for marginalized groups like, it’s set in the 60’s and the villain is a white guy trying to ruin the lives of the good guys; a mute woman, a gay man and a woman of color
:I
It’s very on the nose, and that can be…..a little upsetting, but the film is like……a masterpiece so I would recommend it anyway.
Beauty and the Beast: ………everyone agrees the beast becoming human was a downgrade and I’m not going to say any more on that.
….Venom: ….should not count but I feel like spiritually it SHOULD count……….Venom is so queer coded and yet not queer enough?? I think they are actually in love in one version but not in a lot of adaptations which bites.
Good Omens: I’ve always loved the book, but the miniseries adaptation is SO GOOD. Aziraphale and Crowley are like….queer coded but they are….IN LOVE AND YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE and the miniseries LEANS into that interpretation
Books
Naomi Novik’s novels: Uprooted and Spinning Silver were great although Uprooted didn’t really win me over in the romance department and I prefer Spinning Silver. I love fairytales so I’m always a sucker for fairytale retellings that….are not modernized in the wrong way.
Video games:
Undertale: …….. :I I’m not wrong.
Liar princess and the blind prince: …..I have not played this, so I can’t actually verify if it’s good or add any input…….but it seems like my aesthetic.
Podcasts are so gay:
Magnus Archives: Eldritch horror is scary, but also it’s canonically gay and kind of about how those two things kind of intermingle. Passes the “I listened to a lot of it, but I was still able to sleep peacefully afterward” test. The first….ten episodes rely too heavily on scary music, but they tone it down after a while thank god.
Welcome to night vale: Also gay and surreal horror, same deal but less scary.
The Adventure zone: DnD game by the three Mcleroy brothers and their dad. Started out as just a one off adventure but everyone accidentally got way too invested and it became AMAZING.
There’s this thing that happens in the princess Bride with the line “Hello my name is Anigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die” and it is set up in a way that is funny and a joke…………………….
And then 3/4 of the way through the film…it is not a joke anymore, and it HURTS YOU. That is one of my FAVORITE TROPES IN ANY MEDIA EVER and they fucking DID THAT AND IT HURTS.
If you’re not an artist and your job doesn’t mean that you need to listen to a constant stream of audio media while you work, you can read the graphic novel adaptation, but it won’t hit you the same way I think.
