Welcome back my friend! You know, it'd be...interesting if you asked someone how they're feeling right now, after all I haven't quite seen Widget in action towards anyone. I'm personally curious about Blackquill or his 'sparring buddy' but I digress ...

I actually asked Blackquill about that! He answered in his usual manner when referring to Mr. Sahdmadhi, but there seemed to be some…happiness in his voice when I inspected him a bit with Widget, so do with that as you will!

choosing was so hard but i will go with ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ and 🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴 (for now)

⚡ ghost Buck au

more following on from this snippet!

"Lightning?" he repeated, and the man nodded gently. "I was struck by lightning?"

"It's more common than you'd think," he said.

Buck wanted to say I know that, people think it's one in a million but it's actually closer to one in fifteen thousand odds of being hit once in your lifetime. It was a fact that Christopher would love, and that Eddie wouldn't believe until he searched it up for himself.

Eddie.

Buck's eyes grew wide as he looked back at the man, the image of Eddie flying to the ground surrounded by sparks making his insides twist and tighten.

"Eddie," he said, panic in his eyes and voice. "Is he okay? Is he here?"

"Eddie's fine, Evan," he said, and Buck felt a moment of relief, but it was short lived. "You're the only one here."

"But if he's fine then—" Buck's heart seemed to stop in his chest as the words played over in his head, and then he began to feel physically sick.

Eddie's okay, relief. But Eddie's not here, Buck is. If Eddie's okay and he's not here, then Buck...

"I'm... not fine, am I?" he asked slowly.

The man didn't answer. He just stood there looking back at Buck, giving him time to come to the conclusion himself. It was a conclusion that Buck was scrambling around, trying to find any other explanation for what was happening, anything else that would explain this. But there wasn't one, and in the pit of his stomach, Buck knew the truth of it.

He was alone. He wasn't fine. This wasn't really a hospital.

"I'm dead, aren't I?"

🦴 bones gravedigger au

based on the first gravedigger episode of bones, where Eddie is Booth and Buck is Brennan (aka my favourite episode of the whole show).

"What have I told you about threatening people in the interrogation room?"

Eddie looked up to see Athena standing in his doorway, arms folded and one eyebrow cocked high as she stared back at him.

"Technically we weren't in the interrogation room," he said, giving her a shrug and making her snort back at him in response.

"The man wrote a book, made some profits," she walked in and perched herself on the edge of his desk as he sat back in his chair. "As much as you might dislike the way he's used this case for personal gain, he didn't bury those boys alive."

"Not that we've been able to prove," Eddie muttered as his cell phone started ringing.

He didn't recognise the number, and Athena's voice took his focus away anyway.

"Eddie," she said. "You can let it go to voicemail."

He rolled his eyes and dropped the phone on the desk, reaching up to run his hand through his hair.

"Anyone making a profit off a guy who keeps evading police and burying people alive doesn't need coddling by me," he said.

She made a face as though she agreed with him, but they were in his office, not a bar. She had to be the boss.

"Not saying I don't agree with you," she said.

"I'm sensing a 'but' coming," Eddie said with a smile, his phone pinging with the sound of his voicemail.

He pressed the button and put the phone to his ear as he waited for Athena's half-hearted lecture.

"But," she said, eyeing him with a wry smile. "Whether you like it or not, this guy is an expert on the gravedigger. He knows as much as anyone what he's capable of and you want him on your side. He can give us information that we can use to... Eddie? What is it?"

Throughout her conversation she had noticed the way Eddie's face fell, the way he had stopped listening to her and began to focus intently on the call. He looked up at her and took the phone away from his ear, putting it on speaker so she could hear the chilling words that made the bile rise at the back of his throat.

"Evan Buckley and Howard Han have been buried alive. You have 12 hours to wire transfer $4 million or you'll never see them again. This will be my last communication."

💃 Can Pollux dance? Please say yes?

⚡ What mythological god would you associate with Betel?

actually any of the monarchs you want to answer these for is good...

💃 - I think I already answered this for Pollux! Yes, ey can dance. Of course ey can.

Going down the list though:

Rigel can dance and dance well.

Betel cannot dance and will avoid the dance floor at all costs (but get pulled over by Rigel anyway)

Aldeba can dance. Aldeba can and will waltz with and dip you.

fomal has never even taken dancing lessons ever in his life

Canis and Altair can both dance. Especially dance with eachother. gay gay homosexual g

-

⚡ - Hmm, let me think about this...

Rigel is hard to pin down. Prometheus, maybe? Orpheus could work too.

Betel. Athena. No further comment.

pollux. dionysus. also no further comment yes not the literal pollux from mythology i know

Is it too on the nose if I say Aldeba is Atlas? Yes? Okay. Demeter or Nike also fit. Yes, this is a wide variety of selections.

Fomal is Achilles and I don't take constructive criticism sorry <3

Altair... could honestly make an argument for Ares. Or Poseidon, if you want to be on the nose.

Canis could be Apollo, ngl. Everyone here is a tough cookie.

[wintershieldedheart]

⚡ What mythological god would you associate with your OC?

I go back and forth on this answer, so I'll cover one here and one in a different ask.

Athena.

Athena is the goddess of war, wisdom, handicraft, and practical reason. she is specifically the goddess of the intelligence and strategic aspects of war, which is where Margot excels. she's a strategist first and warrior second. while handicraft ( specifically spinning & weaving ), don't fall into Margot's expertise, she is good with her hands and I think that translates in other aspects other than just those two particular art forms. when it comes to practical reasoning & wisdom as a whole, Margot is chalk full of it. she can reason her way into and out of any situation, and she very, very, rarely acts on emotion. she's calculating and clever, and has wisdom far beyond her appearing years.
