replying to @caozihuanismyson
"If that was love, Cao Pi didn’t need it. Didn’t want it. It was better to be indispensable than cherished. He needed to become something that could not be left behind. Something that Father could not live without."
my jaw just fucking dropped
#i love this. im in love. holy shit#HE NEEDED TO BECOME SOMETHING THAT COULD NOT BE LEFT BEHIND SOMETHING THAT FATHER COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT#(im screaming louder so people in the back can hear)#(jk there's no one in the back cuz it's san guo on tumblr.com but still)#💀#thank u op i have ascended#also all the little details of ang trying to make up for father's absence for his lil bros..... when pi wiped his tears my heart broke#that part where cao pi imagined ang's last moments? holy shit i've never thought of it that way it's genius and horrifying#(ok i need a moment)#also............... i'm going insane about the part with fish and jade#and cao pi describing cao cao's expression of love towards cao ang as painful#and wanting to put him in his mouth like how soldiers keep their precious things safe#i thought this was going to be about ang's tragedy .... but it turned out to be about that and the horror of pi's existence#thank u for the meal op i'm so grateful
thank you so much, this is such a nice comment to wake up to!!!! it makes me so happy to have such dedicated readers who catch every single detail ;u;
Cao Ang has been my blorbo for a long time because he is a fascinating contradiction. he achieved nothing and did nothing of note, but seems to have left a significant impression on those around him. Cao Cao expresses regret for him on his deathbed. Cao Pi talks about how he should have been the rightful heir. Lady Ding was willing to disobey the most powerful man in the empire in order to get the smallest measure of justice for him. His death always struck me as, well, a feel-good narrative told by a guilty conscience. Cao Cao could have ordered any one of his bodyguards to give up his horse, but he didn't. It makes sense in the coldest, most logical way. Why lose an able-bodied fighter for a brat? You can always make more. I came up with a bunch of scenarios of what "really" happened, but in the end i realised it doesn't matter. Cao Cao still left his son to die. the horror comes from the ambiguity itself.
I also wanted to explore how his actions would impact the remainder of his children. They realised overnight that they were all disposable and no one was safe. the real tragedy doesn't come from Cao Ang's death, but his father undoing all his hard work. Ang tried his best to give them love, curb their worst impulses, and foster good relationships between them, only for his father to stick them in the Sibling Royale. Climb to the top and uproot all your competition. ect. ect.
But I am an optimistic person and I believe true love can pierce the veil and save the day and all that. Cao Ang's ghost continues to haunt the narrative and in the end, he manages to effect his brothers in some way. Cao Pi comes to realise that, hey, this kinda sucks, actually. i think we're emotionally stunted and perpetuating the cycle of violence. maybe i don't have to trample all my brothers to preserve my own life. maybe i shouldn't become exactly like father. hmm much to think about.
Cultural Context, for those interested:
funerary practices are not historical, but based on the modern shangdong ones i've experienced.
"putting your child in your mouth" is an expression of helpless tenderness. the full phrase is "i want to you hold in my hands, but i'm afraid of dropping you. i want to hold you in my mouth, but i'm afraid you will melt." i wanted to show this conflict within cao cao, the warlord vs the man. how his ambition corrupts him. ultimately, cao cao does not put his son in his mouth to protect him. he consumes him instead.
the opening scene is based on Cao Pi's poem "Traveling on the city wall." His poems are notable for being very emo, he talks about feeling isolated and unfulfilled despite having every worldly possession. I decided to connect it with Cao Zhi's (ahistorical) bean poem. the metaphor is less profound, but what can you do? he is the lesser poet after all ;))) .

Spiderdemon AU 1
First of all, I'd like to thank my friend @midnightfire830 and the people in the discord Inky Mystery for helping me come up with some fun ideas and bits for this AU. It's because of your enjoyment and encouragement that this AU is now on tumblr. So thank you guys, very much. :)
Now, for those of you on tumblr, I'd like to share this AU. It was inspired by the spiderverse movie and seeing all the different versions of spiderpeople. So I hope all of you enjoy what you're about to read!
In this AU, all the Inky Mystery characters are human, it takes place during a modern time period, and Bendy’s spiderman. Or, Spider DEMON.
When Bendy’s in his pre-teens, he and Boris are taken in by Felix who originally fostered them, and then adopted them.
Things are okay for the first couple of years. Bendy starts getting used to being a regular kid and having fun instead of worrying about taking care of himself and Boris. Even Felix's mentor Wilson is a nice grandfather figure to him and Boris.
But then when he's 15, he gets sick. Badly sick.
Doctors say chances aren't good. Felix is clearly trying his hardest to stay strong for Bendy and Boris, but Bendy can tell it's getting hard on him, not to mention how Boris is too scared to leave his side when Bendy’s forced to stay at the hospital when he gets worse.
When his health takes a turn for the very worst, late one night at the hospital, Bendy wakes up, and sees Wilson standing by his bedside, holding his hand, and smiling gently saying everything is going to be okay.
Too tired, Bendy goes back to sleep as Wilson pulls a jar out of his pocket.
Next morning, for the first time in a while, he feels okay enough to eat breakfast, sit up, and play card/board games with Boris. The Doctors are stunned by how his health practically improved overnight.
They're so shocked they don't pay much attention to the spider bite on his hand.
With all the good that happened though, there is a downside.
Wilson goes missing after Bendy’s health improves.
Because Wilson’s why Bendy got better.
He was working with people who were doing experiments on spiders that could benefit the human race, buuuuut he also heard rumors about it being to make humans into deadly super soldiers or something.
Either way, with Bendy on his deathbed, Wilson took a gamble, stole a spider, and used it to save his life.
Unfortunately, he had to go on the run after that, because he stole from VERY dangerous people.
It was to keep everyone he cares for safe though.
After Wilson’s gone, Bendy and Boris are home alone as Felix is out. Bendy is probably still on bedrest since he recently got out of the hospital.
Boris is off doing his own thing in his room, when he hears Bendy yelling and things breaking.
He runs to make sure he's okay, and freezes at the doorway when he finds Bendy standing on the ceiling.
Boris: .... How are you doing that???
Bendy: I don't know!! Help me down before Felix gets home!!
He gets down, and they clean everything before Felix gets home.
Safe to say they're both freaked out and plan to test out what else Bendy can do once they get the chance.
So the two brothers slip out of their house and find an old empty building to conduct their experiments. Boris taking notes as Bendy does his thing. (Sorta like that scene in SHAZAM)
-They learned that Bendy can walk on walls.
-Can sense danger.
-Has super strength.
-Can move way faster.
You know, the basics for any spiderman. But what's unique for Bendy.
-He can see in the dark.
-He, at first, has limited shapeshifting abilities.
-And his abilities get stronger when he gets angrier.
Also debating if he should have some kind of power where he can blend into the dark/shadows or something. Still working on that.
Bendy and Boris debate on what to do with all of this going on with Bendy. It was probably Boris' idea for him to become a superhero, and Bendy most likely said NO at first.
He JUST got out of the hospital. He's not doing something crazy like saving the day when he has to study for a test for school.
But you know, the universe has other ideas.
Sure enough, when he's out on a cold weather day, his face covered to keep it safe from the icy wind, he stops inside a small store to get a snack.
Only for the store to be in the middle of being robbed. Bendy sees kids in the store hiding in the corner, trembling and scared.
So, he gets the scum's attention, uses his phone to take a picture of the robber, and cussing RUNS when the guy gives chase.
When Bendy gets cornered in an alley, he tries warning the robber to back the cuss off. All that achieved was Bendy getting picked up off his feet with a knife pointed at his throat.
Bendy’s eyes then turn red, a tail appears behind him, his gloves rip as his nails turn into claws, his teeth become fangs, and his jacket hoodie rips as horns come out.
The robber SCREAMS.
Police later find the robber, tied up with some old rope or cords or whatever Bendy found in the alley, and Bendy long gone.
Bendy later pulls Boris aside, and tells him that if they're going to do this vigilante thing, he's going to need something to wear.
Boris: ... You want to wear a super suit?
Bendy: *shows him the holes in his hood and gloves* I'm up for hearing your ideas if you have something better in mind.
Boris: Super suit it is!
His spiderman super suit, as a nod to the fic and the game, Bendy's suit would be a faded paper yellow color, looking like black ink was spilled over him, along with the classic spiderweb pattern of course.
He'd also wear goggles, wanting to protect his eyes and keep his night vision from bothering him when he's somewhere bright during battles.
His shape-shifted tail and horns would also be visible, and he and Boris design webs for Bendy to swing on that are black in color.
the media eventually dubbing Bendy, the Spiderdemon.
Now Bendy at first usually sticks with small stuff. stopping robbers, saving people in accidents, basically helping those in need. He doesn't want to do anything crazy considering he's in HIGHSCHOOL.
Boris also becomes his "guy in a chair", since this takes place in a modern time period. Bendy refuses to let him come with when he does dangerous stuff, so Boris builds things that can help Bendy, and uses his crazy impressive computer skills to hack security cameras and stuff to watch Bendy's back and keep him updated through a built-in communication device in Bendy's suit.
He dubs himself "Cyber-Wolf" and uses a cartoony wolf icon to cover his identity when hacking things.
When Bendy graduates highschool and is about to start college though, when out in town, he finds someone he didn't expect to see.
Wilson, looking rough, and exhausted.
The two of them hug, Bendy asking him where the CUSS he's been all these years, and Wilson promising to explain over a meal.
They stop at a diner, and Wilson explains that he had to leave to keep him, Felix, and Boris safe because of a choice he made. How he stole a spider experiment to save Bendy's life, and now the people he stole from are after him because they know he stole it but don't know WHY.
He came back, because he wanted to warn Bendy. the people he took the spider from have been watching Spiderdemon, and they WANT him. What Bendy's doing is noble, but at the same time he's at an incredible risk.
With great power comes great responsibility after all.
Shocked that Wilson is why he has his powers and he knows he's spiderdemon, Bendy would try insisting he'll be fine, that he can protect himself, and protect Wilson if he comes home.
Wilson would be hesitant, but before he can answer Bendy's phone rings. Seeing that Felix is calling him, Bendy promises he'll be right back and tells Wilson not to move because the diner has crappy cell service. Bendy moves to where he can still see Wilson, as he tries telling Felix he found him and where they are, but the MINUTE Bendy looks away then back at the table they were at, Wilson's gone. Only a note is left with "I'm sorry" on it.
Bendy quickly pays for the food, and goes looking for Wilson, hoping he didn't get far.
But then he hears car tires screeching, and then people screaming, someone yelling to call 9-1-1.
Heart dropping, Bendy rushes to the scene. horrified when he sees that Wilson ran into traffic, and got hit.
Wilson's death leaves an impact on Bendy. How someone who cared so much about him gave up everything to save his life, lost his own in the end.
The "great power comes great responsibility" sticks with him and he takes it to heart. After Wilson's funeral, Bendy tells Boris he needs to use the powers he got for bigger things than just stopping petty crooks. Wilson ran from dangerous powerful people, and he couldn't protect him.
He won't allow that to happen again to an innocent person if he can prevent it.

Another Silmarillion illustrated music outline which I do not have the skills to illustrate
This time to 'Runs In The Family', because I saw a video on YouTube! but it was just a random assortment of other people's illustrations in no particular order. I can do better than that. Except for the illustration part.
I don't have total detail, mostly an outline, but
My friend has problems with winter and autumn
They give him prescriptions, they shine bright lights on him
They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it
They say you can catch it, but sometimes you're born with it
This is Eärendil's verse. Tuor aging on 'winter and autumn', Silmaril on 'shine bright lights on him'. Otherwise, we want some ocean-sailing, some dragon-fighting, some star-sailing. Maybe some Fall of Gondolin, but only a little and at the end, because
My friend has spite, he gets shakes in the night
And they say that there's no way that they could have
Caught it in time takes his[?] toll on him
It is traditional, it is inherited, predispositional
This is Idril's verse. Waking up from visions on 'shakes in the night', pre-Fall-of-Gondolin stress on 'takes its toll'. Besides that we want some Helcaraxë, some Fall of Gondolin, maybe some 'made it to the Havens of Sirion but knows they're still screwed', if you can convey that in a drawing.
All day I've been wondering what is inside of me
Who can I blame for it? I say it runs in the family
Maeglin, and Maeglin and Idril's interactions. Maybe some quick images of Aredhel and Eöl.
This family that carries me to such great lengths
To open my legs up to anyone who'll have me
Still Maeglin, and Maeglin's capture and betrayal.
It runs in the family, I come by it honestly
Do what you want 'cause who knows it might fill me up
I'm not sure — could still be Maeglin, or we could switch to Finduilas hoping Túrin will make everything better somehow.
Me up x7
Fill me up
Me up x7
Montage of ships, taking particular note of separations and deaths but not just that. In the second half also include non-romantic relationships. Should include:
Aredhel and Eöl, weird meeting, tempestuous relationship, Aredhel running with Maeglin
Nerdanel leaving Fëanor
Aegnor and Andreth
Pissed-off Fingon in Araman and not-happy-about-this Maedhros at Losgar
Finarfin and Eärwen together but maybe not 100% reconciled yet — back-to-back?
Turgon losing hold of Elenwë
Finrod at Bëor's deathbed?
Lúthien in Mandos?
etc
My friend's depressed, she's a wreck, she's a mess
They've done all sorts of tests and they guess
It has something to do with her grandmother's
Grandfather's grandmother saving civil war soldiers
Who probably infected her
Elwing's verse. On the first line Elwing afraid and uncertain in the Havens, then show Thingol & Melian, Lay of Leithian scene or two (Beren's death? the disguises? Lúthien locked up?). Second Kinslaying on 'civil war soldiers'. On the last line, closeup of the Nauglimír+Silmaril, not clear who's wearing it. Put the Nauglimír Out Of Its Misery 2k24
My friend has maladies, rickets, and allergies
That she dates back to the 17th century
Somehow she manages in her misery
Strips in the city and shows all her best tricks
Orodreth's verse. Struggling with the 'king' thing; maybe brief glimpses of Finrod's death, and Fingon's; in the second half of the verse, Túrin and the bridge and facing Glaurung.
With me, well, I'm well, well I mean I'm in Hell, well
I still have my health, at least that's what they tell me
If wellness is this, what in Hell's name is sickness?
Celebrían after being wounded. She wants to stay but she can't. If we didn't include Finduilas earlier, she could also be put here, cutting back and forth between Celebrían and Finduilas trying to be fine when everything is not fine.
But business is business and business runs in the family
We tend to bruise easily, mad in the blood
Gil-Galad, at the beginning of his reign and at the end, carrying the burden of kingship.
I'm telling you 'cause I just want you to know me
Know me and my family, we're wonderful folks
But don't get to close to me 'cause you might knock me up
Not sure about this.
Could do more Gil-Galad.
Alternatively, Elros and Númenor.
Alternatively, Edain — Tuor, Huor & Húrin, Morwen and Rían, etc.
Me up x7
Knock me up
Me up x7
Probably a violence montage
Various battles against Morgoth
All Kinslayings
Finrod's capture
Maedhros, captive
Celegorm & Curufin vs. Beren & Lúthien
Fëanor holding Fingolfin at swordpoint
Burning of ships at Losgar
etc
Mary, have mercy, now look what I've done
But don't blame me because I can't help where I come from
And running is something that we've always done well
And mostly I can't even tell what I'm running from
Celebrimbor's verse. For the first line Celebrimbor facing Sauron with the One. Then we want some compare/contrast with Celebrimbor and Fëanor — Celebrimbor shares rings, Fëanor hoard[eth and hideth] Silmarils; Fëanor turns away Melkor, Celebrimbor welcomes Annatar; Fëanor with three Silmarils, Celebrimbor with three… Three. Could finish the verse back facing Sauron, about to lose, or else just he's very upset. Or the battle flag thing.
Now some micromanagement—
Run from their pity, from responsibility
Indis leaving court, or Indis and Nerdanel together
Finwë leaving Tirion with Fëanor
Run from the country and run from the city
Turgon leading people into Gondolin
Aredhel leaving Gondolin
I can run from the law, I can run from myself
Celegorm and Curufin getting thrown out of Nargothrond
Finarfin turning back after the Doom (bit weaker than some of these, but)
I can run from my life, I can run into debt
Fingolfin's duel with Morgoth
Finrod swearing oath to Barahir
I can run from it all, I can run 'til I'm gone
Maglor being a Beach Cryptid (or throwing the Silmaril with future Beach Cryptid status implied somehow?)
Maedhros with Silmaril jumping into the fire
I can run for the office and run for my cause
Fingon in the Nirnaeth, as king leading into battle
Galadriel, persisting — probably not in any identifiable time period, just, she's persisting
I can run using every last ounce of energy
Fëanor's spontaneous combustion death
I cannot, I cannot, I cannot run from my family
They're hiding inside of me, corpses on ice
Come in if you like but just don't tell my family
They'd never forgive me, they'd say that I'm crazy
But they would say anything if it would shut me up
Shut me up
Elrond's verse, which means it's time for the Elrond Bereavement Conga Line! (Eärendil, Elwing, Maedhros, Maglor, Elros, Gil-Galad, Celebrían, Arwen, did I forget anyone?) But focus more on him reaching fruitlessly after people than on the actual deaths. If there's any time left over, perhaps Elrond being torn between the different aspects of his heritage?
Shut me up
Me up x7
Shut me up
Me up x7
The entire rest of the song is Eldarin Royalty Death Supercut deaths/bodies. (That's sixteen lines and some deaths have been covered already but some people may still need to double up.) (Do not forget we're including the Doriath royals here.) (If there's somehow extra room there's Edain.)

Sleeping Beauty Spring: "Maleficent" (2014 film)
This reimagining of Disney's Sleeping Beauty was conceived in 2003, as Disney's answer to the recent success of the musical Wicked. Due to various delays, it didn't premiere until 2014, but it's clearly a spiritual sister to Wicked all the same, with a famous villainess re-conceived a sympathetic protagonist. It features a screenplay by Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland), and stars Angelina Jolie as the "evil" fairy of the title.
The opening scene introduces two neighboring enemy lands: a mundane human kingdom, and the beautiful Moors, where magical creatures dwell. We meet Maleficent as a happy, innocent fairy child, who flies through the Moors on her majestic wings. When a poor orphan boy named Stefan ventures in from the human realm, Maleficent befriends him, and as they grow up, they become lovers. But then the humans' ruthless King Henry wages new war against the fair folk. His soldiers are no match for Maleficent's magic, and in battle she mortally wounds the king. So on his deathbed, he decrees that whoever kills Maleficent will be his heir. Tragically, Stefan (Sharlto Copley) gives in to ambition – though he can't bring himself to kill Maleficent, he burns off her wings as she sleeps, then presents them as proof of her "death." Maleficent's despair at this brutal betrayal gradually becomes hard, cold bitterness, and she crowns herself the queen of the Moors, an enemy to all humans. Meanwhile, she gains a servant and spy named Diaval (Sam Riley) – a raven whom she can change to a man, or any other animal, at her will.
When Diaval informs her that King Stefan has fathered a child, Princess Aurora, Maleficent seizes her chance for revenge. Unlike the original Maleficent, however, she doesn't curse Aurora to die when she pricks her finger, but to fall into an endless sleep from which only true love's kiss can wake her; the last part is meant as mockery, because neither Maleficent nor Stefan believe in true love anymore. Accordingly, Stefan hides his baby daughter in the care of the only three fairies he trusts: Knotgrass (Imelda Staunton), Flittle (Leslie Manville), and Thistlewit (Juno Temple), this film's equivalents of Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. And from here on, he devotes his life to waging war against Maleficent, who surrounds the Moors with a forest of gigantic, impenetrable briars.
Unlike in Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent easily finds the cottage where the fairies raise Aurora. But Knotgrass, Flittle, and Thistlewit are much stupider than Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, and inept as foster mothers. Despite Maleficent's insistence that she hates the little "beastie," she and Diaval secretly watch over Aurora, ensuring that she lives to the age of sixteen, and over the years, Maleficent finds herself warming toward the innocent, brave young princess. Eventually, she spirits Aurora (now played by Elle Fanning) into the Moors for regular visits, and they form a close bond, with Aurora thinking Maleficent is her fairy godmother.
On her sixteenth birthday, Aurora resolves to leave her three silly "aunties" and live in the Moors. The same day, she also meets the handsome Prince Phillip (Brenton Thwaites). But when she announces her choice to leave, the fairies reveal her true identity and tell her about the curse. Now believing Maleficent to be evil, the distraught Aurora goes to her father's castle. There, the curse's hypnotic power takes effect and leads Aurora to the fateful spindle.
In desperation, Maleficent spirits Phillip to the castle, where the silly fairies urge him to kiss the sleeping Aurora. But his kiss doesn't wake her: his crush on her isn't "true love" because they only just met. After the others leave, however, the grieving Maleficent approaches Aurora's bedside and kisses her forehead. This kiss of true motherly love breaks the spell. (A twist that might have been even more effective if Disney hadn't already used a similar twist in its latest animated success, Frozen.)
But there's still a villain to defeat, as Stefan's army attacks Maleficent. Though she briefly fights them off by turning Diaval into a dragon, the soldiers soon overpower them. That is, until Aurora finds Maleficent's severed wings and frees them to fly back to her. With her power of flight restored, Maleficent triumphs, and the battle ends with Stefan falling to his death from a tower. Maleficent then removes her briars from the Moors and gives up her throne to Aurora, who unites the human and fairy realms in joy and peace.
While I understand why this film had mixed reviews, I understand its popularity too. It's a visually stunning production, with an atmosphere that perfectly balances darkness with enchantment. And while the screenplay has some uneven characterization, in general it's an engaging new spin on an old story. As for Angelina Jolie she embodies this version of Maleficent in all her dignity, ferocity, wry wit, and complexity. That said, she never captures the sheer gravitas and charisma that Eleanor Audley's voice and Marc Davis's animation gave the original Maleficent. No matter what its fans might claim, this film can't replace the artistry of the animated Sleeping Beauty. I especially dislike the reduction of the three good fairies, the original film's true heroines, into obnoxious idiots.
Still, for an epic, creative reimagining of an iconic Disney villainess's story, Maleficent is very much worth seeing.

A Look At Stuff You Probably Never Heard Of: Eternal Sonata (Manga)
I was going to take a look at something else, what with it being New Year’s, but I ran into some trouble. But in its place, I’ll be taking a look at a manga adaptation of my favorite game, which I also took A Look At on January when I first started this series. Today, we’ll be taking a look at the Eternal Sonata manga!
The manga adaptation of Eternal Sonata was released somewhere between September and December of 2008, with only one volume and ten chapters within that volume. Both the art and story were done by Kuroi Mimei, who also did the art for “The iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls Comic Anthology - cute“.
As stated earlier, this manga adapts the game. Much like the game, the plot is set in the dream world of famed Polish pianist Frédéric François Chopin as he lays on his deathbed. In his dream, he meets Polka, a young girl from Tenuto Village with an incurable illness that allows her to use magic. She’s unable to sell a medicine known as Floral Powder because Mineral Powder is so beneficial and the only thing not being taxed. The two travel to Forte City to speak with Count Waltz, hoping to come to an agreement so Polka can make her living.
At the same time, two street urchins from Ritardando named Allegretto and Beat have to steal food to feed themselves and the kids living in the sewers. Frustrated with the high taxes on everything except Mineral Powder, the two friends travel to Forte City to speak with Count Waltz. Along the way, the two pairs meet and decide to travel together.
Due to the game’s plot being compressed into 10 chapters, much of said plot has been trimmed down and as a result, the other playable characters are relegated to brief, one-off appearances and don’t normally accompany the main four for long, if at all.
As for the art, a lot of work has gone into the details. Everything from the characters’ hair, to injuries, to even the backgrounds. But at the same time, character faces can look a little... off. As noted by the cover.
Another year, another Final Recommendation
Never Let Go Of It||Get It||Hold Onto It||Try It||Consider It||Stay Away From It
As stated earlier, the manga heavily compresses the events of the game and the other playable characters are relegated to glorified cameos. Heck, Claves, Viola, and Falsetto are completely absent with no mention of them. March and Salsa show up briefly, and Jazz accompanies the group for a short while.
And when I said “heavily compressed”, I mean “HEAVILY compressed”! Chapter 3 has Beat and Allegretto meet Polka’s mom in Tenuto, then it cuts to the four in Agogo Forest, where they set up camp for the night, only for Fugue to find them and threaten them while Frederic is elsewhere. The very next chapter has Polka waking up in Salsa and March’s house, with the fight happening between chapters; the group was heavily beaten and nearly killed until Frederic shows up and singlehandedly beats Fugue. And while leaving Agogo Forest, they meet Jazz (who is just a traveler, rather than a member of Andantino, which isn’t even mentioned), who takes them all the way to Baroque Castle, which, according to this map, is VERY far from Agogo Forest.
In fact, the whole plot about Count Waltz exploiting Mt. Rock and turning his citizens into mindless, magic-using soldiers is completely absent. I don’t even think the negative side effects of Mineral Powder are even mentioned. And by Chapter 9, the group arrives at Castle Forte, where they meet Count Walt, where he consumes a drink containing a Glowing Agogo and transforms into a monster that doesn’t even look like the Ruined Body. Polka uses her magic to return Waltz to his human form, but Allegretto is fatally wounded by a pole while protecting Polka. Somehow, the two use magic to help Polka recover, but she’s unable to use her magic to save him because her mysterious illness is gone. Wanting to save Allegretto and still convinced the world he’s in is a dream, Frederic uses his magic to revive and heal Allegretto before mysteriously vanishing, leaving only his hat. And no, I didn’t skip over anything.
And the manga does also differ from the game as how the plot unfolds (obviously). Like in the game, you only find March in Agogo Village and she asks you to look for her sister at Forte City because she forgot her iconic hat (Salsa isn’t wearing a hat in the manga) and hasn’t returned for a few days. Salsa was thrown in prison and you break out with her. In the manga, Salsa is present in Agogo Village and doesn’t leave for Forte City.
There’s also this minor subplot about Allegretto feeling weak in comparison to Frederic and Jazz.
If you wanna check it out, go ahead. It’s not awful, just very bizarre. But if you want the best experience, just get the game. PS3 version.

i hate cards and card shops: a short story by nightwideopen | G | 1313
Get better right now or else.
An ode to Nick’s frustrations while card shopping.
hold on to me (i'm a little unsteady) by 28finelines | G | 1767
harry has a migraine; louis takes care of her
one-thousand empty mugs by trackfive | G | 3820
“Now you’re just being cruel.” Even though Harry tried to sound wounded, Louis felt him smile against his chest. “Don’t even care that I’m on my deathbed.”
“Well, s’what y’get for not towelin’ off after they drowned your soldier arse in the ocean,” he teased, wrapping his arms around Harry and scooting him in even closer.
“I’m very sure that’s not how it works.”
harry is a bit dramatic about his cold, but he's lucky that louis adores his little pouty face.
Your Hand Fits In Mine by LoulieBlue | G | 4194
Harry's most recent tour is finally over, and his strained immune system has snapped. Louis is there to comfort him with quiet words and soft touches until he's better.
When The Night Is Closing In by cherishedlarry | G | 6392
"Louis was dying. That much was certain.
Ok, maybe he wasn’t so much dying as he was simply miserable from this weird flu he had contracted. In fact, he believed this went beyond ‘weird flu’. This had to be the plague."
Or, basically, Louis is really, really sick and Harry is really, really lovely.
Fever started long ago by mediaville | E | 7821
"Stay." His brain is skipping backwards but his mouth is skipping forward. "Like, in this bed? With me."
The words hang in the air, somewhere in between their naked chests. Louis licks his lips, and a tiny crinkle appears between his eyebrows. "Why?"
Does there have to be a reason for everything? Does everything have to be a debate? Why does Louis ask 'why?' and not 'why not?' Harry's already annoyed that he wants him to stay. "I'm ill," he says, sniffling for good measure. "I need supervision."
Louis hesitates, looking uncertain, and Harry doesn't like that look on him. "It's late," he says eventually. "You need your rest."
"We'll sleep," Harry promises, and as if on cue, he yawns. He is rather sleepy. "It will be restful."
SPOILER: Styles gets his way. It's not restful.
All I know is we said hello by loveekateexo | G | 8635
Overall, the guy seems like a great person. However, today is Louis’ one day to sleep in and he’s already woken up with a horrific headache and sore throat to boot and he’s really just not in the mood to hear his mysterious neighbor croon out “Fix You” by Coldplay again.
(Or the one where Louis wakes up certain he's dying of a head cold and decides to finally confront the neighbor he constantly hears singing through the walls. Cue Harry Styles. Suddenly, the singing isn't so bad.)
I want the whole world to know (I want you bad) | M | 10264
On the list of things you want to experience after your fifth date with your new boyfriend coming down with food poisoning probably isn’t in the top ten.
(or the one where six hours after Louis and Harry make it official, Harry comes down with a nasty case of food poisoning. Utter embarrassment, lots of fond, and cuddling ensue.)
How Fast You Fall by kingsofeverything | E | 49580
Casual hookups are all Louis has time for, and Harry has a plan to stay single and celibate until he graduates.
After going from strangers to roommates to friends, they both start to want more.
It just takes them a little while to figure it out.
#sickfic#request#how fast you fall#kingsofeverything#I want the whole world to know (I want you bad)#loveekateexo#All I know is we said hello#mediaville#Fever started long ago#cherishedlarry#When The Night Is Closing In#LoulieBlue#trackfive#one-thousand empty mugs#Your Hand Fits In Mine#28finelines#hold on to me (i’m a little unsteady)#nightwideopen#i hate cards and card shops: a short story

Pinky Promise
— Levi x Reader
— hurt comfort, fluff, oneshot
— summary: A nightmarish event unfold in front of his own eyes
— word count: 1.1k
The expedition ended in complete mess, titans were able to invade the scouts before they could form their formation, what's worst for him he wasn't able to keep in track of your position when the titan invaded.
shit, where is she? Looking around the gathered soldiers, both injured and uninjured no matter he shifts his gaze, he couldn't find any single trace of you or your squad.
Trying not to lose hope, he continued on searching the entire town from the abandoned building, dusty street corners even a peek on the giant debris. In every corpse he passed on and check he wishes it weren’t yours he would see.
He can't lost you, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if you die here.
"Levi! We found one of her squad!!" Hanji called out, rushing next to them. His eyes widen at the bleeding soldier in front of him,
"I-I'm sorry, Captain" he mumbled, tears building up to his eyes. No no no
"We…were…s-surrounded. I-I tried to help her but M-Miss (Y/n) used herself as a b-bait to let us escape…. That’s the last time we saw her, i-in the east of the town leading to the forest" Bursting to tears "P-Please save her, C-Captain" without any delays he fired his hooks flying towards the given location
Of course, you would do that. You would risk your life for the safety of others, it's one of your traits he hated and loved the most. Your selflessness would bring you to your deathbed, yet it's the reason why you two were unified as one. He would never forget the day you save him after he miscalculated his landing leaving him in the palms of a titan, how you were shaking, terrified after you took down the titan. Confessing how you were so scared when you saw the titan’s hands on him, terrified to see the one you love to die in front of you.
Arriving at the east town, an uncomfortable silence echoed through the town. Calling out your name, no responses. did you really head inside the forest? Checking the triggers on his palms, he doesn't have much gas left at the same time. "Shit"
"Levi!!!" You shouted, looking at your direction an overwhelming relief made its way to his body as he saw you rush towards him, with too much speed you were able to push him out of the building. Frozen in the air, his eyes widen in terror he saw a titan burst into the building he stood, there you were hanging upside down your one of your foot was at the grasp of a titan, he was only able to watch you pant as tears began to fall down your blooded cheeks.
No matter how much he tried to move his body to save you, his body remained paralyzed as he had fallen down the ground, the sound of your low whimpers. Force him back to reality, to see your body in the grasp of titan. Pulling his blade as he shot his gear at the titan’s body, almost near the nape, his heart drops as he heard the sound of your bones breaking. He watches as your bright (e/c) slowly turned shallow, lifeless.
"(Y/n)!!!"
////
"Levi!!"
"Darling, Wake up!!" His body shoot up from bed, his gaze adjusted to the darkness of the room, The figure in front of him became clearer and focus, he didn't noticed the weight of you straddling him. Your bright (e/c) gaze in concern as you cupped his cheeks, he didn't felt the tears falling down his cheeks nor the sweats covering him without any thoughts he brought you to his chest wrapping both his arms of onto your waist, his head leans at the crook of your head
"I'm dreaming r-right?" You heard him sobbed, watching you get killed felt so damn real, he cannot handle the heart ache of how he failed to save you. To his surprise you push his head of your next making him stare at you, he felt your warm touch drying off his tears with your thumbs before pinching his cheeks which he flinched at the temporary heat of pain.
"You're not dreaming, if you are you wouldn't be able to feel pain" you explained, you can him trembling beneath you pressing a soft kiss on his forehead slowly moving down to his eyes, cheeks and finally to his lips, enveloping him once more in your arms as you caressed his hair patiently waiting for him to calm down
"You save me, and I watched you---" he couldn't continue recalling back his dream
"I'm alive, Levi. I'm very much alive with you here." you lead his hand above your chest letting him feel your heart beating through his palms. “I promise you, didn’t I? I’ll stay by your side until the end of our days, remember?” Nodding, he leans onto your chest, pressing his ears at the sound of your heart beat. god what did he do to deserve you, he is a man with many flaws hidden beneath being the humanity’s strongest soldier how could you love a man like him, that dreams made him feel useless despite the title given to him he couldn’t even save the person he loves the most.
Ever since you moved to his room you knew Levi suffered from nightmares whenever the times he gets to sleep, most of them are flashbacks back when he witnesses the horrible deaths of Farlan and Isabel, but above everything you experience this one had taken a toll of him waking up to hearing him scream your name was the last thing you ever want him to experience. You felt him hold onto your hands, the trembling has stopped
“Promise me that you won’t lose your life to save others” his swollen eyes remained its gaze at you, he can feel your hesitating among this world of uncertainty, there is something you’ve learn within this past years you serve the survey corps was how uncertainty survival can be no matter how much you try to stay optimistic of living. You knew that your time would come and what more to useful way to use your life to save others.
“I can’t lose you, (Y/n)” At least that’s what you thought before you met Levi, you never notice how your perspective in life change thanks to him, you couldn’t help but to giggle at your thoughts before pressing a kiss at his chapped lips. Kissing back, he can feel his doubts and fears slowly disappear replaced by your warmth. Breaking the kiss, entwining your pinky at his. He stared at you confused by your action.
“I promise”

Can I request a Agatha x reader where there in west view and its the final battle (but let’s pretend there having it on the ground) and Agatha gets distracted by something and isn’t ready so human reader stands in front of Agatha and takes the blast so then Agatha goes full on witch and like almost kills Wanda and then goes a takes reader home and heals her. Happy ending please.
Sorry it took me so long dear! But here it is! Hope you like it <3
Harkness or Y/L/N? (Agatha x Fem!reader)
Where the fuck were they?
One second you were having breakfast and the next one hell exploded in front of your face. Agatha and Wanda broke out of the floor and quickly disappeared in the sky. Red and purple magic wrapping them. You blinked and looked at the giant hole in your house. You could see your basement from there. Oh no. Agatha must have revealed herself to Wanda.
Oh shit.
You ran out of the house, looking at the sky, but you couldn’t see any of them. This was bad, really bad.
“Y/N!” you turned to see Tommy running to you.
“Tommy! What happened?”
“Mom and aunt Agnes are fighting! There are soldiers and dad is fighting another dad but white” he quickly said and you frowned
“What the-”
“Billy said to come for you” he said, taking your hand and not giving you time to process it all.
A second later you were in the park. You gasped. People were running away, soldiers were entering Westview, Vision flew away with White Vision, Geraldine Monica had Billy against herself, protecting him, and Wanda and Agatha were in the middle of everything, throwing magic balls at each other.
Chaos.
You ran to Monica, holding Tommy’s hand. She sighed in relief when she saw you. She thought something had happened to you for a moment.
“What’s going on?” she asked
“The hell i know?” you said and turned to look at the two witches. “They’re going to destroy everything if we don’t stop them”
“How?”
“Why is aunt Agnes attacking mom?” Billy asked and you frowned.
“She’s not. Mom’s the one attacking her” Tommy said before you could answer. See? This is why he was your favorite.
“It doesn’t matter” you said “We need to stop them. Now”
“How?!” Monica asked again.
You looked around, trying to come up with a plan. You knew that you could calm Agatha, convince her to take this fight to another place, somewhere with no people around.
“Ok, here’s the plan. Do you think you could stop the soldiers?” They nodded “Good, I’ll try to talk with Agatha, maybe i can make them stop at least for a moment. That should give you enough time to take everyone out of here”
They nodded again and ran to fight. You took a deep breath and turned to the witches. Agatha was powerful, but Wanda was furious. You didn’t know what the hell happened between them in the basement, but it wasn’t good.
“At least they’re not flying” you thought. It would have been harder to stop them if they were.
One of Wanda’s power balls made a building fall and you gasped. There were people under it! They could die! But a purple smoke stopped the concrete pieces in midair, giving people time to run and escape unscathed. You smiled to yourself. At least your girlfriend wasn't completely evil after all (Not that it mattered, you'd follow her to the end of the world even if she was).
But it seemed that the other witch didn’t care, using the distraction to attack Agatha.
It all happened too fast. You saw Wanda’s angry expression and the giant ball of red energy forming between her hands. Agatha wasn’t paying attention. You ran to her instinctively, yelling her name.
You screamed in pain as the red ball mercilessly struck your body, sending a wave of electricity through your veins and raising your body temperature significantly.
In other words, you were burning alive from the inside out. And hell it was painful.
Wanda gasped as you fell unconscious on the floor. Where the hell did you come from?! But she wasn’t the only one staring at you in disbelief. Agatha not only heard you yelling her name, she also felt your pain when you took Wanda’s attack.
“Y/N!” She ran to you, kneeled beside you and tried to wake you up “Please, love, don’t do this to me” she begged you.
Wanda was still in shock. She didn't want to hurt you! You weren’t supposed to appear out of nowhere just to help Agatha of all people! She knew you were her girlfriend, but she assumed you would change your mind when you discovered Agatha’s real colors. Little she knew, you were a huge fan of that color palette.
“Ags” you whispered and the witch sighed in relief, hugging you close to her chest. You felt her heart racing.
“Why did you do it? You shouldn’t have done it. I could have lost you” she was almost crying.
“Because I love you, silly” you smiled. You were too weak, but you managed to caress her cheek “Aggs..”
“Yes, love?” She asked, confused at the smirk that was slowly appearing on your face.
“Unleash hell” you said before closing your eyes again.
The witch gasped and you knew she thought you were unconscious again, but you weren’t. You waited until she let you on the floor carefully, and heard her steps getting away from you, to open your eyes again.
Wanda took a step back when Agatha turned to her. Her eyes weren’t blue anymore, not even purple like the first time she used her magic in front of her. They were completely black. There was no trait of white in her eyes, as if she didn’t have eyeballs at all. And then there was the purple glow again, coming out from the darkness.
“What-”
“You shouldn’t have done that, little witch” Agatha interumped Wanda “You Really. Shouldn’t. Have.”
Before Wanda could do anything, a purple smoke swallowed her. It was strange, because she didn’t feel much power coming from it, but looking at Agatha’s lifeless eyes, she knew she was in trouble.
Vision, Monica, Billy and Tommy turned to the women when Wanda screamed of pain. Agatha was just standing there, your body lying on the floor behind her. Wanda was trying to attack her, but every time she threw a spell, it would hit the purple dome Agatha put around her and then hit her back with more strength.
Monica took the twins away while Vision flew to the witches. She knew what was happening.
Wanda was slowly killing herself.
You smirked. Damn your girl was hot. You felt bad for Wanda for crossing paths with an angry Agatha, but well, she tried to kill her, and that’s something you wouldn’t forgive. Nobody touches your witch.
When the younger witch fell to her knees, too tired and injured from her own spells, Agatha smirked. She felt Vision floating to them, but she didn’t even turn to him while she put a dome around him too. At least the android knew better and didn’t try to attack. He knew it would just come back to him.
“When your little wife wakes up” she said to Vision, but kept staring at Wanda “be sure she understands how lucky she is. Tell her how thankful she must be. Thankful that my precious Y/N has a bigger heart than any of us together and that she loves those children of yours. Because that, dear Vision, is the only reason i won’t kill her.”
With that, she released the android. He just nodded and watched as Agatha made the dome around Wanda get smaller and smaller until the purple smoke was wrapped around her. She threw one last ball to Wanda’s head and the witch fell unconscious on her husband’s arms.
“If she ever places a single finger on my girlfriend, ever again, i’ll kill her without a second thought” she warned Vision, her eyes still black. The man nodded again and flew away with his wife.
You smiled as Agatha approached you and took you in her arms. Her eyes slowly turned back to normal when she noticed you were awake. She couldn't believe you. You knew! You knew the power you had over her.
______________
Three days after that, you were still in bed. Agatha had taken you back home, your real home, and quickly healed you. It didn’t take much time and almost all your physical wounds were gone. But your head was still hurting like hell. So, of course you would make a drama out of it. Currently, you both were lying in bed.
“I love you” you whispered and took Agatha’s hand “Please remember that”
The witch smiled and kissed your temple. “I love you too”.
“Please take care of our beloved son. He might be a bunny, but he can take over the world, Aggie. He can”
“I have no doubt of it, Y/N” she giggled and rolled her eyes.
“You know what’s my biggest regret?” you asked, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her closer to you
“What?” she asked, trying so hard not to laugh.
“that my gravestone is going to say Y/N Y/L/N and that’s unfair” you pouted.
Agatha lost it and laughed. God, you were so cute.
“That’s your name, love” she chuckled and kissed you softly. You smiled against her lips.
“Yeah, but it shouldn’t be” you argued.
“First of all, stop being so dramatic, you’re perfectly fine, you’re not going to die” she said “second, what in the world should your name be then?”
“Y/N Harkness” you answered without hesitation.
That made her freeze and you laughed as her cheeks slowly turned pink
“Or maybe yours should be Agatha Y/L/N, haven’t decided yet. It’s hard to take such big decisions on your deathbed”
“S-shut up” she mumbled and you laughed again, kissing her head. “Aren’t you supposed to be dead by now?”
“Aren’t you supposed to be grateful I'm not?” you said, loving her grumpy face “besides, I’m not leaving this world until i make sure my gravestone will say Y/N Harkness”
“Your name won’t change until i make sure you’ll stay with me forever” she said, taking your head on her hands.
“Deal” you said, kissing her again.
__________
“Which one do you think he’ll like better? Señor Scratchy Harkness or Señor Scratchy Y/L/N?”
“Y/N, I love you, but it's 2 a.m, go to sleep, I’m begging you”
“Señor Scratchy Y/L/N is it then”
“The hell it is!”

WinterFrost Single Dads AU
Okay, I promised you a second chapter. Contains a flashback scene so...there's that, lol. Still looking for suggestions for a title.
xoxo, La
P.S. I'm totally working on a banner too. 🖤
Pairing: Loki x Bucky Barnes (there are others past and future, but I’m not giving them away just yet)
Rating: M
Word count: 2,712
Summary: Loki is living a great life as a Manhattan lawyer and constantly partying with Tony Stark, his best friend. Loki’s life before he came to New York more than a decade ago is a mystery for those close to him. But it’s all about to come to light when he gets a call from someone in his past.
Bucky is just trying to catch a break. A few hookups with a fellow soldier led to a quickie marriage and baby – and two years later, a quick divorce. His daughter is now eight years old and the light of his life. But he can’t seem to get his shit together. Struggling to find a job and keep a hold on his sobriety, it’s a one-night stand that gives him the kick in the ass he needs to be the man his daughter believes he is.
Warnings: Mature language and situations, some drug use, and talk about addiction.
Read chapter one here.
Chapter 2
“It’s good to hear your voice, brother. After all this time.”
Loki was silent, struggling to find his words. Finally, he let out a short, frustrated breath and pressed his fingers to the dull ache still pulsating at his temple. “Let’s not pretend to reminisce, Thor. It’s been far too long for that.” Thor let out an anxious chuckle over the line. “What’s so urgent that you called four times? And left no message.”
“Ah, Loki. I don’t know how to tell you this.”
“What is it? Just say it. I’m sure it’s not as difficult as you might think. Is Odin on his deathbed?”
Silence. “…Loki.”
“I can’t imagine he’d encourage you to call me with the news.”
“Loki.”
“I highly doubt it would be my face he would want to see as his last image before he finally leaves this earth.”
“Loki!”
“What?!”
Thor sighed, muttered a curse in Norwegian. “For Norn’s sake, I didn’t call you to talk about Odin.” Loki remained quiet this time, waiting. When Thor spoke again, his voice was lower and thick with emotion. “It’s…it’s Sigyn. She’s gone.”
Loki’s breath released in one big whoosh. His hand moved, pressed to the center of his chest, where a sharp pain began to bloom. “Wh—what? I—when?”
“Yesterday.”
“But…” She’s only thirty-two years old, he thought. She’s still so young. Loki made incomprehensible noises for a moment, too many questions springing into his mind. Finally, he settled on one. “H…how?”
“Uh, a brain hemorrhage. She was in a car accident a few days ago. She seemed fine, with no visible injuries. And then…she wouldn’t wake up. By the time we got her to the hospital…it was too late.”
Loki squeezed his eyes shut and pulled the phone away from his ear, pressing his mouth to his wrist to muffle his cry.
“Loki?” Thor’s voice reached him.
“Yes, I—” He had to catch his breath. “Why didn’t anyone call me sooner? What about the boys? Were they with her in the car? Are they all right?”
“No, they weren’t with her. They’re just fine. Well, as fine as two young boys can be after losing their mother.” Thor went quiet as Loki struggled to contain his tears and hide his sniffling. “Loki, Sigyn left a will.”
Loki cleared his throat and mopped at his face with his sleeve. “She what?”
“Her attorney contacted Mother because she’s listed as a contact for the boys, and he says she left some instructions. He’s asked that you and Mother, and any other family, get together so he may let us know what she wished to happen following her…death.”
Loki went quiet again. What instructions? “Right.” Whatever they were, Loki couldn’t deal with it at the moment. “Erm, listen, Thor, I’m going to have my assistant call you later. If you could get all the information for her arrangements to him — times and dates and the location’s address so I can send some flowers ahead — I’d appreciate it. I’m going to try to find the next flight out. I’ll let you know when I arrive.”
Thor hesitated. “Well, Loki, there’s something I have to —”
“We’ll talk when I get there, all right. I promise. Thank you for calling, Thor.” Loki ended the call before Thor could say more. Dropping the phone to the coffee table before him and his head in his hands, Loki fell back on the sofa, letting the tears come. As Loki let the grief overwhelm him, he thought back to the last time he saw Sigyn — the one he always considered got away.
----------------------------------------------
“You can’t just leave with them! Those are my children!”
“Yes, I can. They are my children, too.” Sigyn stood still in the small living room of their tiny house while Loki paced around her. His breath came in short huffs; his pale cheeks had gone red. She’d never seen Loki this upset in the entire time they’d known each other. Barely three years. “Don’t you see it’s better this way for everybody?”
Loki suddenly stopped before her, demanding to know how it was better. Sigyn jolted at his sharpened tone, and he forced himself to reign in his temper. “It’s not better for me,” he said in a softer yet still tense voice.
“Will you please calm down, darling?”
Loki scoffed and started pacing again. “Sigyn, don’t use that tone with me. Where are you going to go? Back home to your father?”
Sigyn breathed in, letting it out on a soft sigh. She was waiting for the question. And dreading his response to — well, all of it. “Yes. For now. He and Mamma are making space for us as we speak. Loki, you’re not welcome here anymore.” She swallowed when he turned those hard emerald eyes on her. “Do you not see how you’re now ostracized? Everybody blames you for Baldur’s — accident.”
Loki continued to glare, even as his eyes filled. “You said you believed me.”
“I do.”
“Baldur had many more issues than anyone in this family was willing to hear about or deal with, and I tried to help him; I was the only one who would listen. I didn’t know he grabbed it! How was I to know that he would —“
“You were there!” Sigyn’s frustration and pain came through her words, too. “That was enough — for most people. Your very presence was enough to place the blame where they can find no other. I know, Loki. I know no one knew him as you did. Maybe that’s why it’s so easy to blame you and not him. But — your children — our children cannot grow up in that shadow, Loki. They’ll never have a chance.”
All the fight left in Loki vanished at that moment; he had been defeated. He knew Sigyn, the light of his life, the woman he didn’t know he’d always wanted, was right, but still… “What am I supposed to do?” he asked, his voice small, his eyes welling.
Sigyn’s eyes filled, as well, and she stepped forward, reaching for Loki’s hands. “Live your life, my darling.” Loki met her gaze directly. “You won’t have much of a chance here either. Odin will make sure you don’t.” He nodded. “You had so many plans to make something of yourself, to be more than your father’s legacy. Don’t let any of this stop you.”
Loki sniffled, shook his head, gripping Sigyn’s hand as if it was his only lifeline. “How? How am I supposed to do any of it without you?”
Sigyn smiled through watery eyes when Loki looked into her eyes again. “Take what’s left of your inheritance.” Loki cocked a brow. “Odin won’t fight you on that. And you don’t need me, Loki. You never have. Remember what we said?”
He briefly closed his eyes before looking up to the ceiling, almost as if in prayer, nodding. “We are strong on our own, just stronger together.”
“Right,” she agreed softly.
Loki’s breath hitched. “But what if I don’t feel like that anymore, Sigyn? What if I don’t…” his voice broke, and when he spoke again, it was in a cracking whisper. “What if I don’t know how to live without you?”
Sigyn buried her face in Loki’s chest then, fitting into his side like two jigsaw puzzle pieces coming together perfectly. “You’ll learn,” she all but croaked. “You’ll adapt, just as you always have done.” She tipped her head back to smile up at him, even as a tear escaped down the side of her cheek. “You’re a survivor, my Loki. You always have a plan.”
Loki grinned, brushing away the tear, moving his fingers across Sigyn’s skin to brush at the soft curling hairs at her temple. “And where do you suggest I go, my Sigyn? Min kjære.” His eyes filled again. “Since you seem to have all the answers.”
Sigyn stepped back, raised her hand, pressing it to the side of Loki’s face, as much to bring his eyes back to her as to dry the tears sliding down his sharp-angled cheek. “Anywhere. Everywhere. London. Paris. Rome. You always wanted to go to America.”
Loki took another shaky breath as he pulled her hand from his face, twisting his wrists to hold both of her hands against his chest. “Who am I if I’m not your partner? Or their father?”
“You are Loki Laufeyson. You are your own man.”
Loki scoffed again, with much more disgust this time. “Norns. I hate that name.”
“Then change it.”
The tears subsided; Loki let out a weak chuckle and lifted his brows in question. “Change it? To what?”
Sigyn grinned softly, shrugged, and stepped back further, gently tugging her hands from Loki’s grasp. “To whatever you want, min skatt. I know you won’t take Odinson. You could take my name.” They grinned at each other. “Maybe Friggasson?”
Loki breathed a chuckle, then paused. His breathing had finally calmed. But his heart still ached, his stomach still twisted in knots. “Are you sure about this, Siggy?”
She smiled even as her eyes filled with tears again. Her chin trembled, and it was all Loki could do not to grab her close and hold her. “No,” she answered, her voice wavering, “but I know it’s what I have to do for my boys.”
Loki knew he was fighting a losing battle. His heart was breaking, but he had to accept this, his new fate. They stood there, facing each other, in silence, both knowing it was time for this to end but neither knowing how to do it.
“I should probably get going. I have a long drive ahead of me.”
“Sigyn —” Loki stopped her, touching his fingers to her arm before she could move away. She looked up at him, her big blue eyes questioning, and, almost automatically, turned, so her hand rested on his forearm. Loki tugged her closer, lifting his hands to frame her face. Unsure what to say, Loki simply tilted up her chin and laid his lips on hers. Sigyn made a slight noise in her throat, but she didn’t pull away, and Loki slipped his hands into her wavy copper hair, deepening the kiss. Moments later, Sigyn eased her mouth away.
“Loki. Stop.”
He kept her close, resting his forehead on hers. “Come with me. Please? We’ll take the boys. We’ll go somewhere — anywhere you want.”
“Loki. No,” she sobbed. “I don’t want to leave my home.”
“You are leaving your home,” Loki insisted. He felt Sigyn pull further away, and this time, reluctantly, he let her go.
“I need to go. Do…” Sigyn’s breath hitched, and she did her best to dry her eyes and cheeks. “Do you want to say goodbye to the boys?”
Loki had turned away, a hand covering his face, but he looked at Sigyn now, with tears in his eyes, and nodded.
Sigyn walked out of the room and disappeared down the hallway. When she emerged again, she headed back into the living room, this time holding the hand of a dark-haired boy just over a year old who toddled beside her and another boy, an infant with lighter, reddish wisps of hair, nestled in the crook of her arm.
Loki smiled as best he could, reaching for the baby they’d named Valí, wiggling in Sigyn’s arms, and fought tears as he pressed his lips to the baby’s forehead. He whispered to him in Norwegian as Valí, just a few months old, blinked up at him with dark-blue eyes. Sigyn moved forward to take Valí, and Loki bent to pick up his oldest son, Narfi.
Narfi let out a giggle and immediately wrapped his short arms around Loki’s neck. Loki kissed his cheek, running a hand over his short dark curls. “Take care of your Mamma. And know that your Papa loves you. Always,” he managed on a broken whisper.
Sigyn, Loki was somewhat relieved to see, was fighting her own tears, wiping at her face again as Loki set Narfi on his feet. “We never said this was going to be forever, Loki.”
Loki sniffled as he nodded and tried to regain his composure. “No, we didn’t. But I was counting on it. It would be nice if just one thing in my life were permanent.”
Sigyn reached for Narfi’s hand, and together, they started for the door. Unsure how he would make it through these next few minutes, Loki moved ahead of them to hold the door open.
“Will you call me when you get there?”
Sigyn stopped beside him and shook her head. “No, Loki. I’m afraid this goodbye has to be it.”
Loki nodded. She was barely over the threshold when he snagged her hand, the one holding Narfi’s tiny one. “I love you, Sigyn. I always have, and I always will. And if you ever change your mind…” He left the rest of the sentence dangle between them.
Sigyn nodded, tears welling and spilling. “I’m so sorry things had to be this way. I want you to know that I will love you until my dying day, Loki.”
His breath hitched again. Loki unwillingly released Sigyn, and a hand flew up to his mouth as he tried to stifle the cry that inevitably escaped him. He stood there — he didn't know long — until the sound of Sigyn’s car had long faded into the distance.
----------------------------------------------
Loki was self-aware enough to know the day Sigyn left had changed him significantly. After that, he stopped looking for love or any kind of meaningful connection beyond friendship. He took Sigyn’s advice, and after securing his inheritance from Odin, who readily and happily released it, Loki left for America. And he never looked back. He earned his law degree and managed to establish himself as a ruthless and successful attorney over the next ten years.
Loki met the infamous Tony Stark in the first year of his arrival to New York at a party on campus. Tony wasn’t a student — in fact, he was a couple of years older than Loki — but he was somehow popular with everyone, Loki found. After a very brief dalliance, they remained close friends, and years later, when Tony’s father Howard died, Tony inherited Howard’s multi-million dollar, multinational company, Stark Industries, and hired Loki as his in-house counsel. Together, Loki and Tony lived two very different versions of bachelor life. Tony, a known playboy, none too discreetly kept a busy schedule of beauties, both male and female, rotating through his bedroom door. Whereas Loki, who never directly declared his sexuality yet neither ignored a mutual attraction to whatever gender or sexuality presented itself, kept his private business private. They’d indulged themselves in anything and everything, bringing along Tony’s friends, Pepper Potts and James Rhodes. In their wildest years, there were entire days Loki couldn’t remember.
Waking from a deep sleep brought on by the exhaustion of grief and his crying, in what was now late afternoon if the sun’s position meant anything, Loki abruptly decided a night of indulgence was precisely the kind of distraction he needed. He reached for his phone again, ignoring the messages and missed calls from Fandral and what he recognized as the number where he had reached Thor, and dialed Tony’s number from memory. “Stark. Get dressed. I’ll be at the Tower in fifteen minutes. I need your expertise.”
Loki used Tony’s influence all over the city that night, though his own name carried as much if not equal prestige in some places. They went to various clubs, private establishments, and the occasional bar or pub, looking for anything that would provide a good time. Loki had never been a big drinker and only dabbled in recreational drug use, but he was chucking everything aside tonight, hoping to kill the deep-seated ache in his heart that Sigyn’s passing had left behind.
They picked up a few people along the way, creating their own little entourage. And as usual, it was Tony who seemed to be enjoying himself more than anyone. But it was later in the evening, in a dark little bar in Brooklyn Heights, that Loki would find the exact kind of distraction for which he’d been searching.

Edit
Hellboy, or "Anung Un Rama" as he was called, was conceived on October 5,[1] 1617, the day his birth-mother, Sarah Hughes, a human woman, was on her deathbed. In life, Sarah was a witch who gained her powers from being a consort of the archdemon, Azzael, an Archduke of Hell, and Hellboy's "biological" father. Taking Sarah's body to hell when she attempted to repent on her deathbed within a church in East Bromwich, England, Azzael burned her away so their child would be born, and chopped off the newborn's right hand to replace it with the "Right Hand of Doom", a relic tied to the Ogdru Jahad. When the other princes of Hell learned of his actions, Azzael sent his half-demon child away while he was stripped of his powers and imprisoned in ice (like Lucifer in Dante's Divine Comedy).
The child is eventually summoned to Earth in the final months of World War II by the "Mad Monk" Grigori Rasputin on Tarmagant Island, off the coast of Scotland, having been commissioned by the Nazis to change the tide of a losing war ("Project Ragna Rok"). As a direct result of this ritual, the child appears on Earth in a fireball at what remains of the ruined Bromwich Church on December 23, 1944. Proving not to be a devil, in the traditional sense, but a devil-like creature, the child was dubbed "Hellboy" by Professor Trevor "Broom" Bruttenholm.[2]
Taken by the United States Armed Forces to an Air Force base in New Mexico, Hellboy is raised by Professor Trevor Bruttenholm in as normal a home environment as possible (and as a Catholic), and the United States Army where the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD) a private organization dedicated to combating occult threats, begins. Due to the success of his first mission in 1952, Hellboy is granted "honorary human" status by the United Nations and becomes a member of the BPRD as the "world's greatest paranormal investigator".[3] As such, Hellboy interacts regularly with humans, primarily law enforcement officials, the military, and various "scholars of the weird", most of whom are not presented as overtly reacting to his strange appearance.
As an adult, having matured physically within years yet aging slowly with a teenaged mind, Hellboy becomes the primary agent for the BPRD, alongside other human and quasi-human agents that include Kate Corrigan, a professor of folklore at New York University; Abe Sapien, an amphibian humanoid (Ichthyo sapiens); and Liz Sherman, a young pyrokinetic. Things change dramatically for Hellboy during the events of Seed of Destruction when he searches for Professor Bruttenholm after he disappears during an expedition in the Arctic. He finds his adopted father only to witness his death at the hands of a Lovecraftian frog monster. The search takes Hellboy, Abe, and Liz to the Cavendish Hall mansion, which is a trap established by Rasputin to lure Hellboy into an embrace of his own "destiny", with the assistance of Sadu-Hem; one of the spawn of the Ogdru Jahad. Controlled by the spirit of one of the ancestral Cavendish men, Abe impales Rasputin. Liz's firestorm then incinerates Rasputin's body alongside Sadu-Hem's and destroys Cavendish Hall. Soon after, during a visit to Bromwich Church, Hellboy gets a glimpse of his conception 300+ years ago and learns he has two human half-siblings; a nun and a priest whose spirits haunt the church after their deaths, attempting to stop Azzael from claiming Sarah.
During the events of Hellboy: Wake the Devil, Hellboy's journey of self-discovery leads him to Romania to investigate the theft of an ancient box containing the corpse of Vladimir Giurescu, a Napoleonic officer who was, in fact, a vampire before he was "killed" on the order of a fearful Adolf Hitler. The culprit of the theft is revealed to be Ilsa Haupstein, one of the surviving members of Project Ragna Rok, who was revived from suspended animation and then aided in Giurescu's resurrection. Finding Castle Giurescu after splitting up with the other search groups, Hellboy learns that the source of Giurescu's rebirth is the ancient goddess Hecate. Though Hellboy destroys Hecate's original body, he faces her again after Rasputin unintentionally provides her with Ilsa's iron-maiden encased body. Hecate swallows Hellboy, but he returns to his own reality after he denounces the dark purpose he was born to perform.
Hellboy later learns that Liz is dying after losing her powers when she accidentally revived a homunculus while searching another location for Giurescu, finding Roger in the events of Hellboy: Almost Colossus as he convinces the homunculus to save Liz's life. Following the events of Hellboy: The Right Hand of Doom, gaining insight about his stone hand and being referenced as a harbinger of the Apocalypse, Hellboy is accompanied by Abe to hunt down the warlock Igor Bromhead in Box Full of Evil. But it turned out to be a trap conducted by Bromhead and the demon Ualac to capture Hellboy, using his True Name, Anung Un Rama, to restrain him, so that the latter can claim Hellboy's normally invisible Crown of the Apocalypse to increase their power. But this act, however, proves to be counter-productive, as it allows Hellboy to no-longer be controlled by his true name, Anung Un Rama (as one of the translations of this name is, lit. "and upon his brow is set a crown of flame"; with the theft of his crown, the name is no longer accurate), and he kills Ualac's mortal body before the demon and the crown is taken to Hell by the archdemon, Astaroth, who is later revealed to be Hellboy's paternal uncle.
In the aftermath of Hellboy: Conqueror Worm, assisted by the ghost of Lobster Johnson, Roger, and Abe, a disillusioned Hellboy resigns from the Bureau before it later gains new agents in Johann Kraus, the spirit of a German medium kept in a containment suit; and Captain Ben Daimio, a special operations soldier that became an Olmec were-jaguar. From there, Hellboy decides to find out the truth of his existence once and for all. But, as revealed in Hellboy: Strange Places, Hellboy ends up being stranded on an island where he inadvertently resurrected an ancient mystic who gained knowledge of the secret history of the creation of Ogdru Jahad and the Right Hand of Doom.
6 years later, as Hellboy: Darkness Calls opens, Hellboy's search takes him to England where he finds himself in the middle of a power vacuum caused by Bromhead incapacitating Hecate in Italy. Refusing to serve the witches as their king, Hellboy ends up in the dimension of Baba Yaga, a witch whom he encountered in the past and happens to be an ally of Rasputin's. Managing to defeat Baba Yaga's champion Koshchei, Hellboy returns to his reality and is led to Bromhead after he became monstrous and in agony from his attempt to take Hecate's powers for his own. Hellboy gives Bromhead a merciful death before returning to England during the events of Hellboy: The Wild Hunt where he encounters Alice Monaghan, a young woman he saved as a baby from a fairy named Gruagach who has revived the lunatic sorceress Nimue to fill the void left by Hecate.
During that time, Hellboy encounters the spirit of Morgana le Fay who reveals to Hellboy both the names of his parents and that Sarah Hughes was her descendant, which names Hellboy as the last living heir to Arthur Pendragon and the rightful king of England.[4] But as he also learns from Astaroth that he is destined to kill Satan and become the new King of Hell, Hellboy is reluctant to wield Excalibur (which in his hands becomes a flaming sword) and the army of undead British nobility amassed to face Nimue's army. Therefore, enlisting Baba Yaga's assistance with his eye as payment for the injury he did to her in their first meeting, Hellboy decides to face Nimue one-on-one in the events of Hellboy: The Storm and the Fury. But in the aftermath of his battle with Nimue, who was possessed by Ogdru Jahad at the time, Hellboy is killed by the witch in her final moments. As revealed in Hellboy in Hell, Hellboy ends up trapped in Hell, where he encounters what's left of his demonic kin and the souls of the damned, and ultimately comes to terms with the destiny he has been shrugging off his whole life. Hellboy later returns in the mini-series BPRD: The Devil You Know, revived and joining Liz and Abe in the final arc of the series. After defeating Rasputin again, he and Hecate see the fall of the Ogdru Jahad and get back the Right Hand of Doom from the Osiris Club, killing them. Despite their efforts, however, Ragnarok is fulfilled and most of humanity is destroyed. In the end, Hellboy and Hecate fuse together to create a new world on Earth

poisoned
summary: Steve left his girlfriend behind, just like his best friend, when he decided that Peggy is the one he wants to grow old with. (Y/n) loses all hope and is reckless on a mission which leads to her getting poisoned. Steve visits her but will this save her life?
request: I need me some hard core Steve angst. Steve left her for Peggy in Endgame, just left no goodbye or nothing. Sometime later she is critically injured on a mission. Against Sam's better judgement Bucky takes old man Steve to see her bc she probably doesn't have mush time lift. Holding Steve hands she says "Am so scared, please don't leave me alone again" ending is up to you.
pairings: Steve Rogers x Reader, Bucky Barnes x Reader
warnings: angst (I can’t tell you more because it would spoil the end)
words: 1123
a/n: I didn’t forget about the barns courtney song fic with bucky but I’ve got some problems. It might be ready today or tomorrow :))
MASTERLIST REQUEST RULES
Life is hard, it always was and will ever be. But in those moments where (Y/n) laid in the arms of her beloved Steve, life seemed good, even easy. She loved him like she never loved anyone before. The female would have done everything for him and for some time she thought he would too, but then they defeated Thanos, and he left her.
Steve had the decency to tell Bucky, but he said nothing to his girlfriend. He left without saying goodbye or kissing her one last time. It broke (Y/n)s heart.
And instead following Sam and Bucky to the bench where the aged Steve Rogers sat, she ran away. In Tonys house she grabbed her few things, put them into a backpack and left. But not without a last glance at the crumpled sheets where they made love last night.
How dare he leave her after he told her the night before how much he loved her?
Nothing made sense anymore. (Y/n) felt already dead inside and during every mission she wished someone would shoot her. Sometimes bullets were close to meet her chest and end her suffering but Bucky is always there. He saves her every time.
That’s how (Y/n) finally found someone who would understand her pain. Because Bucky was too left by the captain. They quickly became friends.
But one day it came how it must have come. Bucky wasn’t there to protect (Y/n) and the next moment a knife is sticking in the females left thigh. It’s not deadly, not even if the hydra soldier would pull it out again. The leg artery isn’t hurt.
But the strange poison on the blade is deadly. At first (Y/n) doesn’t realize it but when she sits down in the quinjet an indescribable pain goes through her whole body. A breathless scream leaves her mouth and immediately, Bucky is at her side, holding her hand.
“What’s wrong?”, he asks and stares at knife which is still inside (Y/n)s leg because the team didn’t want to risk anything. In retrospect, they will regret this decision because it gives the poison more time to harm (Y/n).
“It hurts, Barney”, the female says with a pained expression. In another situation she would have smiled because of the nickname she gave Bucky. “It feels l-like some-something is t-tearing me ap-apart”, she explains and closes her eyes, trying to suppress the tears.
“It’s going to be okay. I promise, doll”, the super soldier whispers and Bruce comes to the two with a first aid kit.
“We need to pull it out now, Bucky. I believe it is poisoned”, Bruce says with a calm voice even though he knows (Y/n) could be dead any second. He doesn’t know which poison it is, so he can’t treat the females pain.
After a short talk with the super soldier, Bucky pulls the knife out of (Y/n)s thigh and Bruce presses a cloth to the injury. The next second (Y/n) is unconscious and almost falls on the floor but Bucky catches her before.
Two days go by, the female rarely wakes up, and her team-mates get more and more concerned. Bruce and Tony tried everything to find out which poison is flowing through (Y/n)s body but without success. And without knowing the poison they can’t find a cure.
(Y/n) is lost.
That’s why Bucky leaves her room the third day, knowing exactly where he needs to go, who he needs to find — Steve Rogers, the man who broke (Y/n)s heart and is the cause for her pain.
Sam follows the super soldier because they talked about bringing Steve to (Y/n)s deathbed. While Bucky thought it would be a great idea to let Steve see what he has done, Sam doesn’t want his aged best friend to feel responsible.
“Bucky! Wait! You can’t do that. It will break both of them. You will lose (Y/n) if you do that”, Sam tries to convince his friend but Bucky won't listen and drives with his car to Steve.
An hour later the old man and his best friend are standing in front of (Y/n)s door. Bucky hasn’t said a word since they left Steves house. So, the old man doesn’t really understand what is happening right now. Well, until Sam opens the door, and he sees his beloved (Y/n) lying in her bed, almost like a corpse.
As quickly as it’s possible for a man of Steves age, he walks to the bed and sits down on the soft mattress. At that moment the female opens her eyes and stares in those familiar blue eyes. Tears well up in both her and his eyes.
Sam and Bucky stand at the end of her bed and watch the scene. Bucky clenches his metal fist because of the sadness inside him. He doesn’t know to handle it. How he will handle the death of his best friend, who he never told that he actually loved her like a husband loves his wife, is a riddle.
“Stevie. You are here”, (Y/n) whispers and winces because a sudden wave of pain fills her entire body. Steve sees the sweat on her forehead, the dark circles under her eyes, the paleness of her skin.
The old man nods and wipes away a tear from his own cheek.
Bucky can’t hold back anymore and sits down on the other side of the mattress, telling Steve what happened, not trying to hide that he believes Steve is the reason for (Y/n)s state.
“Barney, it’s okay. It was no ones fault. Please, don’t be angry with each other. You are best friends”, (Y/n) says with a weak voice and breathing gets harder with every single breath.
The female coughs and can’t breathe anymore. Fortunately, she fights one last time because she has to tell Steve something.
“I’m so scared, please don’t leave me alone again”, she whispers and takes with her right hand the wrinkled one of Steve, and with her left one of Buckys. Both men have tears in her eyes because they can feel how life leaves the females body.
“Never again, honey. Never...” But before Steve can finish his sentence (Y/n) takes her last breath and her eyes stare at Bucky.
Sam who stood silent at the end of the bed helps Steve from the bed because he doesn’t want the old man to stay any longer next to a corpse. They leave the room. But Bucky stays, like he always did.
“I-I lo-love y-you, d-doll”, the super soldier stammers and leans forward to press a kiss to the dead females forehead. He strokes a strand of hair behind her ear and starts crying, because he didn’t just lose his friend but a person he loved deeply.

So what would be the ideal moment with everyone? The tender, loving moment where it’s only admiration for each other? Like the moments of laying in bed and softly gazing at each other’s eyes. The soft, sickeningly sweet moments that everyone gets jealous of. Everyone needs a little bit of softness in their lives. Please? I wanna know how they all turn to mush with affection.
B i g f l u f f h o u r s

Pyro

the times you have to calm them down after a big meltdown and the nights they stay up just adoring your face and praying to be able to wake every day to see you and hold youin their arms
when he sees you helping him with his burn wounds and actually care for him and not manhandling him, letting him time to readjust to the pain.

Medic
every time he passes right on top of you after a all nighter of defying modern medicine he always kiss your forehead or yourtemple at least once
when he refers to his pigeos as your children and refers to Archimedes as your son
sometimes he draws you and write cute love dovey german things on the bottom,and demandsyou thank him in kisses
Sniper
every night that he almost demands you sleep on his chest because he needs your soft breath and your warm weight to keep him grounded
when he hugs you from behind every morning when you are making coffe and he gives you a soft little massage on your shoulder and upper back
