[iamhereinthebg]

I had the slow realization that when we will finally be on the real reveal that "oh yes everything in this manga is only here for the poor Yugi boys uwu. And the mysteries and all plots are just here to make the twins story shine" the manga will have lost me entirely lol

We are so close to a clock keeper's backstory but atp it would be foolish to think that the Yugis won't have something to do with it or its reveal and honestly I am just sad :'))) I know the manga is around Hanako and Tsukasa but doing the biggest fxk you to all your other characters for the main three is insane to me

I am still happy we got tbhk and all the character ofc, just really sad to see in which direction it has been going for some time (it started around chap 96 for me rip)

TAZ Sapphic Week Day 5: Haunted

Couldn’t finish what I originally scheduled for day 5 (so itll have to be pushed back), but I still wanted to have something. So let’s have a quick experimental Lureen (if that is the ship name?) angst! Because that little scene in the GN really got me 😔✌️.

Taking the Bait

Also on AO3 [415w] @ailesswhumptober - day 13, whumpee using themself as bait, alt 8: kidnapping @clonefandomevents - 212th bingo: rescue mission

This is part of an AU where Sidious was revealed by the Jedi but fled, and they are trying to track him down before he works out a way to keep controlling both sides of the war from the shadows. Sidious decides to smoke out the Jedi in turn.

He’s not unconscious, and not pretending to be, but between the probable-concussion, the aftershocks from the Sith lightning, and the binders around his wrists and ankles, he’s about as much of a threat as if he were. Everything aches, despite the protection of his armour, but he knows with the voice of experience that he has gotten off lightly; the Sith more toying with him than actually trying to elicit a reaction. After all, he is just the bait.

From his place slumped slumped on the floor, he watches his gold-visored helmet staring down at him. A blinking red light shows that the camera inside is streaming his image to the holotable, where the hooded Sith finishes hacking his comms to contact his General. 

“Cody, what-? Sidious.”

“Ah, General Kenobi, you are a surprisingly difficult man to get a hold of. Thankfully your Commander here was rather more accessible and has been kind enough to provide both contact details and, shall we say, incentive. You have been quite the thorn in my side lately, and I believe it is about time we discussed the situation in person. If you cooperate, I may even let your precious Commander return to his troopers. Now, swear on the Force that you will come alone, and without your lightsaber.”

The General’s gaze shifts, and he knows the Jedi is scanning his image for injuries, the worry barely held behind his blank expression.

“I… I understand. Only myself and Commander Cody, and I leave my lightsaber behind. This I swear, by my soul, by my crystal, by my blade.”

“Excellent. I have sent the coordinates; and remember, if you deviate from our agreement, poor Commander Cody here will pay the cost.”

The call ends, and he drifts for a while, thankfully ignored by the Sith. He is scared – of course he is – but there is nothing he can do but wait and trust that his General will come for him.

He pictures how the confrontation will play out. General Kenobi will show up, unarmed as promised, and the Sith will think that he has won. Then Commander Cody will show up, also as promised, fully armed and with his general’s saber on its custom clip. And the Sith will discover that he has lost.

Boil shifts carefully, resettling his borrowed armour as best he can while bound, trying to relieve the ache in his chest. He won’t be much use in the fight, but then his role is already complete: he was just the bait.

Withdrew from that class that I hate

[whatevertheweather]

Thank you @thewholelemon @moodandmist @run-for-chamo-miles and @youarenevertooold for the tags! I'm in love with everything y'all posted, what the hell.

In other news, it seems like my recipe for success is to have a Bad Saturday, unexpectedly write an unprecedented amount on Sunday, manage nothing throughout the week, then rinse and repeat. However, yesterday was a kind of okay Saturday, and I've still written a lot today, so maybe the point is really just Sunday.

In any case, what I've written today is from the same unexpected fic I mentioned in my last WIP post. But also like that post, that's not what I'm going to share, because it's not on my hit list for this year. Instead, I'm joining in with the CORB cheer by posting about, y'know, the one I started last year, good old Bait and Switch, because that's what I was getting all my words out for last weekend. Like, the next chapter is about 2 scenes away from done, when there had only been about 3 scenes in it when I started. So that's good?

Under the cut because this is already getting kinda long and I'm not stopping at six sentences.

I don’t know the answer to that. “Because I’m better than you. Now c’mon, get your head in the game. We have a plan.” “Do we?” “Here’s the plan. You give me a good zinger to make Simon go off—” “No.” “What?” “You think I can set him off with a zinger?” he audibly sneers. “This isn’t a one-liner trick. We build up to it.” “Fine,” I roll my eyes. “You long-con him, he goes off, I get my energy back. Easy-peasy.”  Baz is silent. Maybe being a dick and maybe asleep. I can never tell. Finally, he says, “And then you’ll let me out.” “Yeah,” I say. “Totally.”

The slightly difficult thing is that there's also rather a bit of angst being threaded through a fic that is at its core quite lighthearted, but I've received some comments in my time that suggest I may be good at writing things that make you laugh and then also hurt you in rapid succession, so hopefully I can pull it off without it feeling like we're switching genres.

Here's another that's a very little bit of both.

“I would not fucking say that!” Baz yelps. “Calm down,” I swat at him, but the tips of my fingers just slide through the edge of the coffin. I scowl at them. “I saw it in a film. It’s fine. It’s a totally normal thing to say.” “It’s not! It’s really, really not!” By the time he’s run out of steam screeching at me about it, I’m thinking there’s no way this ends up worth it. I don’t feel bad for doing it, but seriously, no one has ever yelled at me for this long. His voice is wearing down. Getting scratchier, which just makes him sound more violent, but then quieter. He ends by mumbling, “I hate you.” It hits weird. I mean, I don’t know. It just sounded sad. And it’s not true.  He doesn’t hate me. We’re helping each other.
