snapshots (vignettes)
inspired by the wonderful @luneariann's post :D
Chuuya glares at him, reaching for the camera. "Dazai, you little shit, don't you dare-"
CLICK!
"Oh my gods, I hate you so much right now-"
"You love me, chibi," Dazai croons, grinning at his partner. "Now, be a good dog and help me clean up."
"Ugh, you're disgusting."
Dazai snaps out of it, looking at Atsushi. "That's Chuuya."
"The gravity manipulator?!"
"The one and the same," Dazai agrees quietly, looking down at the pictures. Something fond and remembered enters his chest, something over five years in the making, and he tries not to sigh.

Dear Reader.
What a tragedy it is to be cursed to feel,
purging, verse by verse, the intravenous conviction
with kisses of ink, dropped your weapon just to cradle me:
pens are mightier than swords, indeed,
because words are daggers, but prose is the flesh wound of fiction.
Locked away, chained to inspiration-less nights,
before my name became a sign of something clandestine
and manipulative, but I don’t take responsibility for what I write.
It is a sickness, a lust for what is hidden within plain sight,
so do not look for a bloodied reprieve; these violent hands will take what’s mine.
Parchment tears easier than skin, featherweight fingertips
persistently spark the grin of self-righteousness
and, fitted to your jawline, smear ink across your lips.
I’m starved for a storyline and clothed in decorative script,
before I am stripped bare of syllables, forcibly undressed.
Cursive letters form the tightest knots
and you’ll find that I am relentless
when all I have are my own ravenous thoughts
of you trapped in an insidious, inescapable plot
calligraphed by a delicate hand driven victoriously to simulate distress.
With a visceral longing to fill the page
and rewrite the wrongs this shuddering, soiled soul so evil
drove you to in the first place, out of misery or rage,
I cut out my heart and locked it in a gilded cage,
because I only flirt with death and make love to the devil.
Martyr.
My name is a constant reminder of that crisis of faith:
stifled to save my soul in death and freed of iniquity
and reminded that this material world was not meant for me.
I reached into the word, not of God, and defined faithlessness.
That lily-white pallor is familiar on my face,
but I’m not allowed to swear so I grit the petals in my teeth.
One cannot know virtue without vice, let that sink in underneath
the very flesh on my bones, a clear-cut example of His greatest work in progress.
I loved you so well that now I am so foolishly scathed
by a brutish, violet, violent bruise, a blemish on my record,
but the price I paid for redemption was far more than I could afford
and I’ll be a private contender with God in the process.
In a perfect world, I would fall to my knees, permanently, heaven-saved,
but this is my confessional, and my patience has run thin.
I had one chance to get it right and I won’t make the same mistakes again.
I’ll be a martyr for injecting a little life into this mess.
@jokerownsmysoul — I hope it’s alright to tag you. I believe we had a discussion about writing poetry that is inspired by the movie Quills and that I promised to let you know when/if I wrote any. This is me doing that 💜

The Realm of Nexuntor (Lemurz Masterlist)
The Realm of Nexuntor takes place in, well, the Realm of Nexuntor. The party came together at the Colvinwrest Ball, a ball that opened its doors to all, from nobles to commonfolk, at the castle of the king of Derval-Ovlion.
The unlikely group consisted of an odd collection of characters: Angano Verona, "The Sun," the mycanthrope druid; Brash, "The Drunken Preacher," the bronze dragonborn sorcerer; Zoë Vitali, "The Builder," the tabaxi monk; Erdyrm Temlakos, "The Weaver," the aasimar cleric; Barnad, "The Onlooker," the earth genasi rogue; and Silas Everhardt, "The Companion," the human fighter. Angie would later leave the group; not long after did the group gain a new member: Yakaria Floros, the part-tiefling, part-avian bard.
Each was (unknowingly) assigned a title corresponding to those of a group of presumed heroes of the past known as the Silver Syndicate.
After the near massacre at the Colvinwrest Ball, the group flees together, later being framed for the murder of the king. While on the run from the law and powers unknown to them, they discover the secrets of Nexuntor, the Feywild War, and tiyh sickness, being saddled with the fate of the realms.
The works are in chronological order of when I wrote them (because it itches my brain) within each section. All associated tags can be found in this post including characters.
Key:
Red - poem
Purple - art
Gold - prose/short story
Works:
(The conversation that ended it) - the conversation that led to Brash leaving her friends
The Rebel's Lament (What I Wouldn't Give) - Brash's thoughts about her life and her regrets
In a World Where We Could Be - what could have been between Brash and Quill
Never Say Forever (The Call of Wildbolt) - Brash sings a song while hitchhiking, reminiscing
To love, to share, to dream - Quill's love for Brash that can never be
Reply - Brash's reply to Quill's love
"It wasn't there last night..." - Brash showing Malakai the progression of her tiyh sickness
Raven Tears - Malakai's relief about not being alone in his final moments
Brothers Collection:
Sincerely - a letter from Leth to his younger sister, recalling when she began to despise him
Petals of Moonlight - Tesur discovering his sister is running away
Actor AU:
The Ghosts of Nexuntor - silly behind the scenes shenanigans with the characters who have to wear too much makeup
Study Buddies - Malakai studies while Brash does not
(Characters belong to their respective owners/players, I am simply sharing my art and stories of them. The characters I have created are Brash, Quill, Wraps, and Brash's family.)

Alice seems to have a bunch of people dancing to her tune...makes you wonder if Frank is just another in a long line. She is a Lestrange, so its not outside the realm of possibility.
Dear Inquisitive Informant,
Your titillating tidbit has left my Quick-Quotes Quill positively quivering with anticipation! Alice Lestrange, our bewitching brunette with an array of admirers trailing in her wake like a flock of nifflers after a gold galleon. The whispers about her have always been as juicy as a pear doused in sugar syrup.
And who can overlook dear, dauntless Frank Longbottom, the gallant Gryffindor who has swapped stalking dark wizards for shadowing Alice Lestrange. How quaint! Frank, known for his noble heart, bravery, and unfortunately, as dry as a cracker sense of humour, is becoming a common feature in our lovely Alice's enchanting tableau.
Now, darling reader, we are all aware of the power that a Lestrange can wield. It's a power that can make a man dance on dragon's breath, teetering on the edge of danger and delight. Is Frank another helpless moth ensnared by the hypnotic flame of Alice Lestrange? Or is he perhaps a willing participant in the raven-haired enchantress's bewitching waltz?
There is no smoke without a fire, is there, dear readers? And the Lestrange bloodline, as intoxicatingly notorious as it is, does fan the flames of speculation. With their reputed blend of potent charm, cunning minds, and just a pinch of ruthlessness - aren't we all bewitched to some extent?
What's the game plan here? Is Frank merely another puppet in Alice's grand puppet show, or a willful dancer moving to her enchanting rhythm? Isn't it all so delectably uncertain! One thing we can conclude, dears, is that the orchestra is playing to Alice's whims.
But fret not, for your ever-vigilant and daring scribe is on the case! Who needs truth potions when you have the sparkling light of my luminescent prose? I, Rita Skeeter, promise to keep my beady eye on these matters. For where there's a whisper, there's a way!
Hold onto your hats and wands, darlings! For as long as there's magic and mayhem, there will always be a story to tell. And no one tells it better than yours truly!
In gossip we trust,
Rita Skeeter

Did you read Ms Raven's love letter to you/Jade? She like dropped the post a few days ago. I must give you a heads up, there is A LOT of keysmashing and she does admit she is a MASSIVE tsundere (I'm not sure if u actually read it, but I thought I would just tell u)
Tagging @raven-at-the-writing-desk for EBG purposes~
The dresser’s door opens a crack, and you see a malicious smirk peeking out from inside.
((Did I read it? You bet I did. I thought it was super heartfelt and it was so nice to see her so open about her emotions for once! You should have seen Jade’s face when he went through it. I thought his cheeks were going to fall off, his grin was stretched from ear to ear. Man, I’d hate to be the center of his attention like Raven is, eheh.))
((Want to tell them what you thought, Jade?))
Jade gives you a sly side eye, the grin he was sporting absolutely unbearable.
“Nine pages of her pouring her heart and soul out for me. I couldn’t be more ecstatic to know how much affluence I have over her life.” His teeth shines through his widening smile, his eyebrows scrunched together as if pitying the poor little bird.
“From my physical appearance to my speech, she seems to be quite obsessed with every part of me, and I cannot say that I mind. From my hands to my clavicle to my original mer form to my eyes. Despite having been instilled in me from a young age to take pride in my appearance thanks to my parents, I’ve never thought about how it would actually affect someone else.”
He closes his eyes, deep in thought at her words that he has read over and over again, mulling each word, captivated by her prose and how well she crafted her speech.
“For her to admit that she thinks of me for little things like moisturizing and learning to smile from time to time only shows that this massive tsundere is honestly just a weak little bird at heart, fufufu.” His eyes squint into a pleased little chuckle, his mouth hiding behind his hand. “Watching you fight that inner voice that wishes to tell the world how you really feel about me is quite possibly the most amusing part of this letter. To know that these words are what’s truly in your heart this whole time...”
As his eyes scan the bottom of the letter again, a more stoic, guarded look crosses over his face. You can almost hear his teeth clenching beyond his pursed lips. As if he was still working on what he was going to say next.
“.....And of course, that last line dipped in that invisible ink of hers... Unspoken words that have always been on the tip of her tongue but she quickly swallows down. Perhaps she is afraid of what will happen were she to say it out loud?
“I received similar ink from her for my birthday this year, perhaps I could return her honesty.”
Jade pulls out the moleskin notebook and the quill that he had received from her, in addition to the Secret Celebration ink she had gifted. In a beautiful, swooping script, he drew out his inner most feelings, words that he would never allow himself to speak aloud, just as the little raven could not.
The ink dried invisible quickly. Raven’s inks were really quite exquisite and well made, they worked exactly as advertised. Jade blankly stared at the fresh-looking page for a moment before tearing it out of the notebook and bringing his magical pen up to it.
It went up in a flash of flames, never to be seen by its intended recipient. Before the page completely disappeared, devoured by the flames, you feel like you can catch a glimpse of the rainbow ink shining through the fire.
Despite everything I may say or do, you are the current that keeps me moving forward, the moon in the night that lights my way home in the darkness. Perhaps you will not take these words to be true, for all my habits of deflecting, but... Yes.
I love you as well, Miss Raven.

Note; some of these are more fitting than others, but I chose these songs to convey general vibes and ambiance.
Music is incredibly important to my writing: it sets the mood of scenes, and helps with carrying the emotions from my imagination to the words on the page. So too is it crucial to developing my characters and getting a sense of their backstories and decisions--through lyrics their story may be pieced together, through instrumental themes their aesthetic is established. So! Take a taste of my process and get to know these characters through the 10 most fitting songs I’ve found for them~
Main Cast: Dione | Celestine | Colin | Phoenix | Captain Io | Captain Xuân
Side Cast: Rose | Sindre | ???
And now you folks get to see my very odd, very varied taste in music! Dione’s... uh. Interesting. Yeah.
I know I have a million and one other things to do right now but Quill gets distracted easily so. Guess this is a series, now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is Spire: a mile high city, crumbling from within and without. A metropolis that splits the sky where a thousand gods vie for dominance, where red-mawed sacred hyenas stalk the streets and eat the dead, where a great cursed train network punctures the flesh of the city and bleeds unreality into the stonework, where cruel and beautiful high elves rule from glittering palaces and dark elves, subjugated, worship an illegal goddess and plot revenge and rebellion.
Spire is a roleplaying game, and Strata is the first full-length physical sourcebook for Spire.
Mock-up of the book
Strata is the ice-rimed carpeted streets of Amaranth where high elf dilettantes fund revolutionary cells for sport. Strata is being blessed by the Spire Herself and watching, helpless, as ash-grey roses burst from your skin. Strata is a pulp author with a gun who knows the occult power of purple prose. Strata is a drow so deep in service to the goddess they have burned their identity on a funeral pyre as tribute to her.
Strata is rescuing thirty drugged and mutilated drow from a wicked sculptor-surgeon. It is fighting for what little you’ve got when the police try to take it away from you. It is stumbling blind through the backstreets of Pilgrim’s Walk, hoping your handler doesn’t sell you out to your enemies as a bargaining chip.
Strata is higher highs and lower lows. Strata is the next evolution of Spire, digging deeper into the secrets of the city, and offering more ways to fight for what you believe in.
Representatives of the noble houses of Destera, Aliquam and Quinn
WHAT IS STRATA?
Strata is a full-length, full-colour, hardback sourcebook for the Spire RPG. (If you’d like to learn more about Spire, you can check out the summary on our website, or listen to Rusty Quill's actual play series of the system. In short: you play a cell of dark elf revolutionaries caught up in a secret war against your high elf colonisers in a weird, labyrinthine metropolis.)
It contains:
Five scenarios. (At least!) Written by a mix of established and new authors, these campaign frames and adventures for Spire are written with the system and setting in mind. They’re evocative, inspiring, and most importantly open-ended, allowing gamesmasters to weave their own narratives within the boundaries presented. (You can learn more about the scenarios below.)
The Inksmith class. The Inksmith is a black-market, black-magic occultist who channels the power of pulp fiction into spells. They can knock out adversaries with a single haymaker, introduce schlocky details into the story, embody the fears of a community and, if things are moving slowly, magically summon a man holding a gun through the nearest available door.
The Shadow Agent class. Devotees of Our Hidden Mistress, the Shadow Agent risks their own identity to receive covers - semi-mystical fake identities that they can embody to further the revolution. At higher levels of power, they can “leave” injuries and madness in their cover identities, and put aside a broken leg as easily as shedding a disguise.
Lots of extra advances. We have rules for: all nine of the noble houses of the drow, giving players the chance to take on the role of disaffected aristocrats; playing a Druid of the Living Spire, and letting sacred plants grow through your skin; becoming a gazetteer and distributing illegal pamphlets through Spire; devoting your character’s sorcery to a particular artistic movement in Ivory Row, and more besides.
Reams and reams of setting info and plot hooks. More than 40,000 words of engaging writing on the highest and lowest parts of society in Spire, illustrating the volatile city that’s waiting for the players to show up and change it. Aelfir blinding parties, undercity folk tales, the secrets of Bound god-prisons, Silver Quarter heists, drug-dealing speakeasies, fashion, music, art, madness, magic, and ravenous, unknowable gods - they’re all here.
Full colour artwork by Adrian Stone. We’re lucky to work with Adrian Stone on Strata, as we did with Spire, and as you can see he’s continued to define the aesthetics of the city and its inhabitants. We’re offering A3 prints of his work as pledge rewards and add-ons, too.
THE SCENARIOS
Derelictus, where gangs of children guard the secret true name of the drow goddess
Strata will contain at least five scenarios - or more, depending on which stretch goals we hit - written in the same open-ended, improv-led style as our previous campaign frames such as Eidolon Sky or Kings of Silver. While some of our authors have experience in the RPG industry, some don't - we held an open call for submissions for content, and from over a hundred entries, these are the ones that really stood out to us as capturing the spirit of Spire. We're really excited to work with these authors and share their work with you.
The first five scenarios, included if we fund, are:
Line in the Dirt by Pauline Chan. The cell’s safehouse - and home - is in the god-forsaken district of Derelictus, amongst the lowest of the low. But as they wake up one morning, they discover that aelfir-owned companies are threatening to destroy their apartment block to make room for new housing, and evict them in the process. Can the players keep hold of what little space they’ve managed to mark as their own, or will their fellow residents sell them out for a chance at a better life?
The Forgotten by Laurence Phillips. The players aren’t Ministry operatives - instead, they’re people with disabilities who were, until recently, under the care of a kindly minister in the cut-throat district of Pilgrim’s Walk. When their guardian is abducted, it’s up to them to take matters into their own hands to find out what really happened - and try not to get exploited by the Ministry in the bargain.
Dark Harvest by Chris Farnell. The cell’s last job went wrong. So wrong, in fact, that the Ministry have shipped them off to a quiet backwater village in the Garden District until things calm down. But when an aelfir goes missing, the guard start knocking on doors, and the players must conduct a clandestine investigation to prove that they’re (sort of) innocent.
In the Garden District, valuable predatory moss is lured onto statues and farmed
Eye of the Beholder by Christine Beard. The height of fashion in aelfir society is to surgically modify a drow employee to make them more beautiful, useful, or graceful. In this scenario, perfectly suited to one-shots or a short series of linked games, the cell are tasked with extracting a group of drugged, mutilated dark elves from an eerie auction in one of Amaranth’s most elegant gardens, and bring the justice of the Ministry to the surgeon who scarred them.
Better the Devil by Grant Howitt & Chris Taylor. The drow noble house of Starys has long been accused of wickedness and cruelty - indeed, hundreds of years ago, most of the family line was drowned in the river that ran through the old drow city of Fathom as retribution for their crimes. But now they’re back, bringing strange and forgotten technologies, and they have their sights set on control of Spire. Will the players side with the newly-ascendant house, or will they be forced to find unusual allies to ensure that the aelfir aren’t replaced with an even worse class of oppressor?
All these scenarios, and all those unlocked as stretch goals, will be printed in the book and included in the PDF.
NEWSPAPERS
Tim's mock-up of the newspaper
Tim Wilkinson Lewis, designer of the Spire maps and newspaper clippings from the previous Kickstarter campaign, will once again create in-character artefacts from the world of Spire - available at certain pledge levels (and as an add-on through Backerkit after the campaign has ended). This time he’s creating a full 12-page newspaper, riddled with the curiosities and weirdness that you’ve come to expect from him - and what’s more, the newspaper will act as an in-character handout that lends support to all of the scenarios contained within Strata. It’s the perfect companion for the book.
House Malrique are famed for their fortune-telling skills
An aelfir souvain parades a gnoll prisoner of war in Amaranth
Tim's ridiculously detailed map
Perch, nailed to the side of Spire, where the inhabitants worship the small gods in their ropes that bind them to the city
The Works, a knot of industry and toil, where drow sell illegal malak in crowded speakeasies
Representatives of house Gryndel, Valwa and Duval
Kickstarter campaign ends: Thu, November 15 2018 2:06 PM UTC +00:00

ra-nishtaw
(other communities call it ra-nish, ra-shtaw, ra-nitawr, etc)
is a spirit-centered celebration that brings to light the death of the connection between the spirits and each chosen priest
this means that there is a celebration of food, water, juice, alcohol for the adults in the situation (anyone above twenty-six), and above all, an exploration of the connection
it is also when the new members of each spirit's ra-sho are inducted
(ra-sho being a spirit's sort of priesthood, or servanthood, or whatever you want to call being connected to a spirit)
it's a two-day celebration and you can't sleep the night in between, because that is when you celebrate drenok-ra, denoa-ra, and denori-ra (moon, stars, and night respectively) and sleeping during the celebration is gry-ra-tkk, also known as really not good spirit sin
but because of the celebration, no one is sleep deprived the next day. after all, the spirits take care of what is theirs. they are kind and yet cruel, not soft in their kindness for when is nature ever truly kind?

you know what, today’s mood has been being indulgent and doing what i want so you know what i’m doing an info dump on some long written out thoughts and shit about my version of the roleswap(s)™ before i maybe do a proper potential verse dump
( AKA this was supposed to be short and then it turned into prose and here we are, 1.7k words later )
i. taking on the role of a prince is easiest. she can be all loving prince for sure. the swan princess from an unfinished fairytale, cursed without a heart, half human and not. as heartless princess, she has the eyes of a sunny summer sky, without a cloud in sight; a smile that is wide, but lacks a certain warmth; and hair brighter than all the suns, and that is perhaps, what keeps her image one of warmth when she lacks the emotion to do so herself.
she cannot recognize things that she feels or cannot feel, an echo of something she once had; she is not quite a doll, but a puppet mimicking those around her. she has cheer and charm and unexplainable emptiness— and then, even when raven’s blood comes to fill in the gaps, there is kindness within her cruelty. deep down, she knows her heart can be shattered as many times as need be, as long as it means she can keep everyone safe and happy.
ii. knight is slightly harder to fit into. the story does not specify the gender of the knight in this tale, a slightly enigmatic figure— but there is much set against her, for since when is the knight a girl? and so she learns to wield a sword, always the girl to do something when someone else says she cannot, and while she who has two left feet and poor coordination seems like she would hurt herself with a sword before she can defend herself with it, she can use it well enough on her own to prove herself, prove the rest of them wrong.
in this version of the story, her chest is a fury of scars around her heart— a unique birthmark that makes! for the raven had chosen to eat out the knight’s heart in front of the princess in this tale, and so, those are the marks she bears. her fate is to die protecting her princess— tragedy, it seems, is to follow her, and oh, what a scary thought that is, but, but if it is for her princess, the princess who has no heart and no ability to dictate thoughts on her own, then she is happy, she can do at least that much.
deep down though, she is not a fighter, she is not meant to wield a sword, and so, when she is told that she is better using her words, it is a task she happily takes up. she will write and write and write until her fingers blister and stain with ink and her hands cramp up for, sword or feathered quill, she is dedicated to doing everything she can to help her princess get the happiness she deserves.
( she will write a happy story for her princess, watches as fate dictates her and her prince leave, and she is alone— no, she is never alone, so she will weave tales, even his, but never her own )
iii. ah, the raven’s daughter, that girl has a different tale. the raven did not steal a human girl, no— perhaps due to miscommunication, perhaps due to a change in mind— the raven steals a cygnet from her nest, feeds her stories of how she’d been abandoned because they’d thought she’d been an ugly duckling, tells her how her family must’ve not loved her if they’d abandoned her and how no one will love her like he will, assures her that she won’t be alone now because the ravens are her family, and he is her father now, and they are all she can depend on, and— sweet, naive little thing she is, eagerly eats up every promise he makes like a songbird eating seeds from one's hand
( she is meant to be a swan, pretty and white, and she is— then slowly, she sheds her feathers as a new coat settles in, plumage blackened with the darkness of the raven’s blood and that should be something weird and startling to her, but he assures her it’s natural and so she comes to adore the color, another thing that makes her closer to her father )
raven’s daughter she is, a bird, is she not? then, how does a girl become human? it is simple magic, or perhaps it is some interference on the part of a higher being that eagerly awaits what kind of role she can play in his tragedy, but her father grants her a human form on two conditions, and ever so eager to please him she agrees, so the bird becomes a girl, ugly bird to worthless human.
the prince is essential to them, for reasons a young girl cannot quite grasp, but the raven spins lies to her to gain her cooperation— a heartless prince will adore a girl like her, a girl that no normal human could like, regardless of her flaws; the prince possess a great power, one that would, assuredly, make her human forever— would she not love that? yes, yes, yes she would, so she clings onto every word he says without ever realizing that she has already been woven into the web of lies he has spun.
she vies for his attention, sweet thing— but how do you get the attention of a heartless prince? how do you get close with someone who lacks the will for even that much? what do you do when you fall in love with someone who cannot even mimic that much in return? if you are her, you persist nonetheless, no matter how cold and distant he is, because no matter how emotionless he may be, you are a stubborn girl, perhaps you think that maybe you can teach him emotions again— regardless, she has made a promise to her father, so she will keep to that.
she succeeds at least at being close, though that has less to say about her efforts and more about his inability to really have any will in speaking if he wants her around or not. she is a warm presence while he is so very cold, and no one ( openly ) questions why she chooses to flock to him of all people. the knight— that boy, he does not seem to always trust her, but he does not distrust her either, so they can at least be cordial with each other, never anything more because why would an ordinary human be able to find something likable about her? no one else does, and surely outside of them, her only companions are the birds she grew up among.
and then there is that girl— she, who threatens everything about her life. she does not even love him, she thinks, but her father assures her that it is fine if the prince regains his emotions, for who else has stuck by his side for all this time? she has, that should be enough took him loyal to her but, but oh, she is so weak; the raven whispers a thought, plants a seed of an idea that she follows through with and she...
she ruins him. she does not really think of the consequences— she never really does think things through, foolish little thing she is. raven girl, you know this story was meant to be a tragedy when you chose to read that story and speak with that man, did you think you would be able to truly be happy? of course not, and yet, she had blindly hoped that, she could attain some measure of happiness for herself. but no, she curses him to a fate worse than hers, watches as he grows wickedly cruel, even to her, and she will withstand because her father promised, didn’t he? that everything would work out fine, that he would love her in the end, and so she, dreamy little girl, believes and grasps at fantasies and hopes because that is all she can do, in the end.
she watches when he sprouts feathers and grows a beak and remains, even as he cackles and caws in her face because, what else is she to do? she has done this, and so she will support him nonetheless, because she loves him, because she has to try and do what she believes to be the right thing, even in the face of uncertainty because he depends on her, doesn’t he? isn’t he supposed to need her in the end? even when he turns on her, she clings to false tales and empty lies and broken promises because she is always so hopeful for the best of things to happen.
( they break her wings and forget she has claws, a beak that hungers to eat, to feel human— they forget she is not a girl, nor a crow, not the black swan of the story either, but a phoenix who rises from her ashes time and time again, a flame brighter than her once ginger hair, and that is how she keeps going when she finds out about the raven’s cruelest lies and the world as she’d known it shatters around her )
she has two conditions she must upkeep and she does not mean to break them when she does, but one she does— she defies the raven by confessing her love, breaking the curse on the prince. she pays the price by going back to the black swan she was always meant to be, accepting her fate is the least she can do to make up for the misgivings she’d done. she clings onto the thought that, if she dies here with the raven that, at the very least, he— and all the rest of them— will be happy now, and that is all she can really ask for.
she does not deserve his kindness, in the end, she who was so foolish to cling to falsehoods for so long— but he is the prince, who had once been heartless, and once before that, been a person full of compassion too. she will not be alone, she is needed, and every word of it is genuinely meant, no more half-hearted and empty words to chain her. and so, accursed black swan, she, follows him into the book because it is a story, and in stories, birds can become girls, and ordinary girls can become queens, and so then, what is to say that she cannot attain the same? would that be fate? she has defied that already. so maybe, just maybe she can get some kind of happy ending too.
#tbt.#long post#bc god knows it'll break on mobile as per usual owjflskjsdfs#but also because it is fucking long i accidentally started writing an essay#wHAT'S UP my name is sin and i love... self indulgent things#if u got ahirue vibes from the knight one uhhhh what can i say#i’m feeling the ahirue in this chili’s. every night.#i have considered writing fic about this b4 and that’s the only reason why half of this is as fleshed out as it is#you can also tell.... which one i have put the most thought into bUT LISTEN I LOVE RAVEN AHIRU I LOVE SHE#this is only like a small collection of thoughts tooooo since i ended writing this up prose like#but if i end up making proper verses for any of these i'll flesh out with more details#since i couldn’t rlly mention like... slight personality differences#prince!hiru is a little more like bubbly airhead#knight is a little more wary but still compassionate.. a little more quick witted#( which is not to imply ahiru can't be but u know )#raven isn’t nearly as harsh as kraehe is but also a little less uhhhhh... approachable?? idk the right word#raven also has the very ambigious ending of did she get to be agirl?? does she not?? :3c#also yEAH i know a lot of these details seem very concrete but they're actually#p flexible and more like an outline of thoughts i have but if i ever actually plotted about it i'd probably change things if needed

broken and damned (beaten and bruised)
Nightingale231
Is anything real in this world now? He doesn't know.
They'd begun when the two of them - Soukoku in this and every life - had met and before. Everything collapses around them, splintering, and Dazai watches the Agency- Odasaku appears for a brief moment, flickering in and out of view in the chair Dazai himself usually sits in. He's staring Dazai down, eyes narrow. Dazai looks away, from one redhead to another.
Chuuya's looking around, clearly taking everything in; he looks almost normal. He almost looks like he fits in the ADA meeting room, like this isn't their world and it's-
"So," he murmurs, turning to Dazai and obviously ignoring their gawking - and grinning, but that's just Kenji-kun - audience. "How do you want to do this?"

chlorine
it sticks in your hair. it's four in the morning and you are sticky and sweaty and helping set the pool up. the deck is cold. you are cold. but it is warm. the pool is even colder. nothing makes sense, except for your coach. he also never makes sense. it's still dark. you can barely see. the floodlights are on and you squint in the bright lights reflected from the pool.
the pool is cold. it soaks into your skin and you are here. present, in the moment even as you feel yourself flying away when you dive into the water. it is four-thirty in the morning and you are in a different city surrounded by the same people that love and hate you.
the pool is warm. your body is cold. you are used to the shivers that wrack your body even as you warm up.
you kick off the wall.
you kick off the wall.
you kick off the wall.
it is here, it is now, and it is endless.
the pool is all that matters. you let callouses form on your feet, let yourself ache when you slam into a teammate or the lane line, and you remind yourself that you are here.
you always smell of chlorine, even on vacation.
the pool is a part of you now, and it doesn't let you go.

@werepires hey! this is the writing sideblog of fixation-central <3 i just,,, wrote a quick prose poem abt that concept and will probably write an actual fic later but i do need to get to going stuff-
he's twenty-two. he is twenty-two and he is in law school. he is twenty-two, and he's in law school, and he's learning about divorce negotiations and family structures in his required civil law course at standford.
and, well.
there's a flash of memory.
he's eight and tired from his first ever hunt. dad had left him and dean alone in their seedy motel, and dean had forced him to eat the little bit of on-sale salad and equally-seedy cheerios they'd had. he'd been exhausted.
when he'd been woken up by his concerned teacher, he'd apologized sleepily. "'m sorry, de. is dad back yet, do we need to leave?" and a yawn. he hadn't realized what he'd said until his teacher's face had fallen.
he still remembers the way that dean had pulled him close and hugged him, gentle and caring of the bruises from when they'd been sparring, after he'd had to do some fast talking to get them both out of trouble. and there's still a part of him that remembers his first few nights in stanford's dorms, the beds too quiet without the sounds of dean - either right next to him or in the other bed, if dad was gone - breathing, or drawing salt lines on the windowsills and doors, or flipping through some of bobby's old books.
... they'd both passed it off as a joke. at the time, his eight-year-old self hadn't understood why dean's eyes had been wet when his teacher had pulled him aside, when he'd come to pick him up.
but now?
he's twenty-two. he's twenty-two, and he's in stanford, and still he remembers how his dad hadn't really raised him.
it had been dean all along.

pardon me, are you aaron burr, sir?
"Pardon me, but-" Alex takes a deep breath, unable to contain his excitement. "Are you Aaron Burr, sir?"
"That depends, who's asking?"
"Oh, well, sure, sir-" he holds a hand out, watching Burr take it. "I'm Alexander Hamilton-" a spark of recognition, slowly catching and blazing into a fire "-I'm at your service, sir, I have been… looking for you."
"Why-"
"Aaron, help." Alex collapses into his best friend's chest, moaning in despair.
