Ugly Argument
Happy Halloween, everyone! While this story isn't spooky, it does have some light angst, so... enjoy? @intrulogicalweek
Masterpost | Intrulogical Week 23 Masterpost | Ao3
Summary: Fights are never pretty.
Content Warnings: Verbal Fighting, Yelling, Angst, Open/Ambiguous Ending
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Just ‘cause you’re smarter than me doesn’t mean you’re always right!”
“I never claimed that I am smarter than you! You are very intelligent, but the doesn’t change the fact that in this case, you are mistaken.”
“You have yet to show actual proof of that, y’know.”
“It is not such a simple matter that I can just—”
“Oh, shut it. You just don’t want to admit to being wrong.”
“I am not wrong; it is a matter—”
“You can shove your big words up your butt. They’re not gonna save you this time.”
“I wasn’t intending—”
“You always just keep on yapping until I lose focus and forget what we’re talking about. It’s what you always do. You talk around the problem until everyone just accepts your words to get you to stop talking on and on and on and on—”
“Would you JUST LISTEN TO ME FOR ONE SECOND!”
Both of them froze as Logan raised his voice. They didn’t yell at each other. It was an unspoken rule, but it was an important one to them. Remus stared at his boyfriend wide-eyed, and Logan was as white as a sheet.
“I- I am sorry, Meus, I didn’t mean to…” he trailed off. His hand had wandered up to cover his mouth as if he could take the yelled words and seal them back in his mouth.
“I know. I shouldn’t have kept cutting you off either,” Remus admitted though he didn’t meet Logan’s eyes.
“Maybe it would be for the best if we take a moment to collect ourselves. We are both emotionally charged right now and this issue won’t be easily solved.” Logan’s voice was shaking. He didn’t want to leave the issue unresolved but if they continued… He just didn’t want to make the same mistake again.
“Yeah… Yeah. You’re right. I’m gonna go call my brother.” Remus moved to leave the room and Logan could see his hand shake at his side. The situation must have hit him harder than he’s letting on.
“Meus?” Logan called before Remus could close the door behind him. His boyfriend stopped but didn’t turn around.
“Yeah?”
“I truly am sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I love you.”
He remained still for a second but eventually, Remus did turn around with a small smile.
“I know, starlight. I love you, too.” He pulled the door shut, and Logan could hear his footsteps disappear further into the house, leaving him alone with his thoughts.
Logan tried his best to keep the self-deprecating voice in his head at bay as he took steady breaths. He would find a way to make it up to Remus. They’ll be fine.
And he’ll make sure to never ever raise his voice at his love like that again.

Whumptober Day 6 Bloody Recordings Rating Explicit CW's/Tags Major Character injury, main character injury, torture, explicitly mentions of torture, recorded torture, Soap's being tortured by Shadows while the 141 try to find him, the Shadows send recordings, open/ambigous ending Characters Simon 'Ghost' Riley, John Price, Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick Summary
The timestamp is from three days ago. They've had him a week. And yet still, they are no closer to finding him, and now the Shadows are taunting them.
Ghost has seen enough torture that these days, it doesn't tend to have much of an effect on him anymore. 
He's seen, dealt, and endured some of the worst man has to offer. 
Yet as he watches the smoking metal rod being pressed to the bare skin of Soap's rib cage, he feels like he's the one in the chair. 
Phantom pain eruptes in his side, and he grits his teeth as he watches Soap struggle, trying to escape the pain as he screams . 
The timestamp is from three days ago. 
They've had him a week. 
And yet still, they are no closer to finding him, and now the Shadow's are taunting them. 
Beside him, he hears a pained noise, as Gaz finally cracks and looks away, feels Price stiff and unmoving on his otherwise. 
Yet Ghost can’t look away.
He stares at Soap's bloodied, bruised skin, at his ragged, matted hair, and the tears tracking down his grimy skin. 
Who knows what's going to be left of him when they find him? 
The rod draws away, and Soap slumps, shaking and heaving as he tries to prepare for the next blow. 
"We have to find him, Cap. I can't watch anymore of this." Gaz looks like he's going to be sick, a bit ironic, Ghost thinks, because he's seen the man lay on torture just as cruelly. 
But he supposes it's different, watching it happen to someone you care about. 
It certainly feels that way. 
"We'll find him Gaz, we will." Price says it firmly, darkly , as he grits his teeth and reaches for the receiver. 
Ghost stops him with a hand on his wrist, and he can feel both of them stop, eying him. 
"I want to see it all." His voice is low, nothing but grating gravel and thick accent as his eyes never leave the screen, tracking the knife now being taken to his Sergeants bare chest. Gaz opens his mouth to speak, expression sour, but Ghost cuts him off before he can even squeak. 
"I want to see it, so I know exactly what I'll do to the man who did this when I find him." Gaz's jaw snaps shut, and Price retracts his hand after a moment's hesitation. 
"We'll find him, Simon." His voice is soft, and Ghost knows there’ll be pity in those pale blue eyes if he turns to face him. 
So he doesn’t, just lets his own expression harden as he folds his arms over his chest and fixes his gaze on Soap . 
"I know we will."

punch-drunk (hurricane)
(♡) fandom: skz (♡) pairing: hyunjin/changbin (♡) rating: mature (♡) 14193 words (♡) complete (1/1) (♡) series: fade me, devastate me
They’re not friends, they’re barely acquaintances. Hyunjin doesn’t know how to define what they are, he just knows that Changbin has him feeling so fucking good that he doesn’t care enough to ask.
(They meet at a club on New Year's Eve. From there, things somehow spiral out of control.)

more clone^2 memes because i think they're funny
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
#dpxdc#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc crossover#dpdc#clone^2#danny fenton is not the ghost king#so canon to clone^2 and clone damian the portal that ends up transporting damian to amity park is left pr ambiguous#so really how he got there could be one of many things whether it be through divine intervention or clockwork's doing or hell#it could've also been quite literally the 1 in 1 millionth chance that a natural portal opened up beneath him and sent him to amity#and was a happy accident#but the idea that the laz pits or another adjacent such entity heard damian wanting an older brother (he meant og damian but oops never-#specified) and then sends him to the one person who could fulfill that wish and make him happy at the same time.#was really funny to me within the context of the lilo and stitch meme. the meme can also be seen the other way around with danny as lilo#and damian as stitch. but danny being stitch was infinitely funnier and ~technically~ more accurate imo#danny technically IS a nice angel but also. he's a developing menace to society (just ask wes) and he's going to make damian one too#danny being from the midwest means he has a midwestern accent and thats not something the bats know how to handle when they finally meet hi#hey look at that! my meme making skills are steadily improving. im no longer making the same joke six different times in different formats#those first two images i made a few days ago the rest i made in the last thirty minutes in a spur of clone^2 induced inspiration#and procrastination of writing the cfau rewrite of the first post. we are 10k words deep folks and just barely got past the 1st gala reunio#dunking on the giw is a god-given right and danny WILL pass it down to damian

Death.
That’s what would end this dream.
But it wasn’t fair, this was supposed to be a happy dream was it not?
But someone needed to die in order for Lilia to wake up.
In order for them to stop Malleus.
It would be cruel to have Mallenoa die in front of Lilia, in a dream that was supposed to end happily.
It would be too much if any of you were to cause such a demise.
But any other answer would be just as cruel.
The devoted son? No, that would break Lilia.
The overly loyal prodigee? No, that would add trauma and guilt for Lilia and might affect his relationship with Baul.
Grim had little to no ties with Lilia, his death would not cause him to wake up nor would you allow any harm to come to him.
…so that left only one answer.
Yours.
It would have to be the shock from your death that would awaken everyone from this dream.
Your hands shook.
Will this work?
And if it didn’t, what would happen to you? To the others? To Malleus?
As you stare at Mallenoa and the victorious fae army celebrating their win against the Knight of Dawn.
You had made a choice.
You breathed.
Deep breathes in.
Deep breaths out.
You swiftly turned.
I’m so sorry.
You knew your choice would bring pain to a number of people. Lilia and Malleus, who would lose a sister and mother respectively. They would also loose you if anything went wrong in this dream and reality.
Sebek, Silver, and Grim would feel devastated at not being able to stop you.
But this was the only way and the one least painful.
…you hoped.
You had never confessed your feelings to Lilia. You didn’t have the chance to, especially after he announced his departure.
And you couldn’t be selfish and weigh him down with your feelings.
But you hoped he cared enough about you that it would work. That the fleeing glances from General Lilia was an indicator of his feelings for you.
You allowed your self to be selfish just this once. You hoped that you would be enough to wake him up because anything else would be too painful.
If not, then at least it was just your death and the least painful of the four.
If this doesn’t work, I can at least keep Malleus company…despite his inky self and how awkward it might be.
By now, you can hear voices questioning what you were doing. You can hear the alarms in their voices as you near the edge of a cliff without any falter in your steps.
You turn around, there’s barely any space left between you and the air that would welcome you.
The others are in varying degrees of panic.
General Lilia had noticed the commotion by now, his eyes widening as he took in your form.
Good, he would be too far to get to you in time.
You smiled at them.
It will be alright.
…you fell back.
…only to wake up gasping back in Diasomnia’s lounge.
With several gasps echoing right after yours.

My enjoyment for ambiguity in fiction leaving my body when I remember that there's no real answer and it's pointless speculating, because the entire work isn't even real:

Day 4: Time Travel by UseMyMuse
Tumblr media
Day 4: Time Travel
by UseMyMuse (@museywrites)
G, 1k, Wangxian
Summary: Lan Sizhui knows his parents are happy, but he wants to fix things so they never had to suffer. Against his better judgement, he goes back in time, though he isn't sure if things will turn out the way he expected. Kay's comments: Oh, I really liked this short time-travel story! Sizhui travels back in time because he wants Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian to live a happier life, because they deserve only the best. It's got a bit of an open ending that I actually really enjoyed and I loved the subtle changes Sizhui made. Excerpt: He followed his baba silently as he roamed, doing his best to stay out of sight, but eventually, he was caught. He lost sight of Wei Ying and suddenly he was backed against a tree. "Who are you and why do you keep following me?!" Sizhui threw his hands up, "I swear! I mean no harm!" "If you mean no harm, than I expect you to tell me who you are and what you want." "My name is... my name is Lan Sizhui. Birth name... Wen Yuan." "...what?" He looked at him in confusion. With an unsure expression, Sizhui explained everything to Wei Wuxian, unsure if he'd believe him or not.
pov lan sizhui, canon divergence, time travel, time travel fix-it, dimension travel, alternate timelines, everybody lives, wei wuxian leaves the yunmeng jiang sect, lan wangji/wei wuxian get a happy ending, ambiguous/open ending

Slow Burn
CW: Vampire whump, mild gore (depends how vivid your imagination), burning alive, cruel whumper, impaled, broken bones, ambiguous ending
Hazy light diffused by sheer curtains catches on the dust-filled air of the warm, stuffy room. Once the bedroom of a stately home, now the gate is rusted and the wallpaper crumbles.
Decades have passed since the home's owner disappeared without a trace - or so people thought. In reality he had been there all along, hiding in the shadows whenever someone came to investigate. Unseen, unheard, and eventually...forgotten.
It was by chance that a vampire hunter happened upon the place, seeking shelter from the downpour outside. Then it was only a matter of time before he found the creature. Weakened after days of rain prevented him from hunting, the vampire doesn't stand a chance. With resignation and, perhaps, relief, he leans back against the wall and bares his chest willingly for the stake.
With three swift strikes of a mallet the wooden spike plunges deeper into his chest - tearing through flesh and muscle, shattering his sternum on its way in and two vertebrae on its way out.
Missing his heart.
No merciful darkness follows. The hunter is long gone but his victim remains, parched and half-conscious but alive, rasping and groaning while his skin sizzles.
It is just after noon, and the window faces west. Hours remain before sunset. Hours to spend burning and blistering, withering away in agony. Even if he had the strength to move the stake keeps him pinned to the wall. Unable to stand anymore, his weight sags around it, his limbs and head limp and heavy.
Downstairs a door slams. Floorboards creak.
The vampire, lost in his own suffering, can't begin to think of who it could be, but some part of him knows this:
He is no longer dying alone.
----
