State of Shock | Chapter 19 | 3.3k

by NamelessDragon (@anamelessdragon)

———————————

Excerpt:

“Here we are,” Lemar said to Barnes as they walked into the on-base barber shop, showing him the line of heavy duty chairs with their metal footrests spread out on the tile. “You know I actually prefer getting my hair done on base.” He set his hands on his belt, smiling fondly as he thought of the young, nervous but determined recruit he’d been getting his first cut, and what he’d become now. “There’s just something about the attention to detail here you don’t get with a non-military stylist. They’ll fix you right up.”

Barnes scanned the room, hands hanging at his sides, his eyes taking in every detail, every piece of equipment, before pausing on the line of mirrors that hovered right behind the chairs. Seated in one of those chairs was an active-duty veteran getting his hair finished up by who Lemar knew was the only barber currently on staff, a tall black man in a smart black and blue smock combo and camouflage pants.

“Be right with you gentlemen,” the barber called, without sparing a glance from his work.

“You want it shorter, or just evened out?” Lemar asked, genuinely curious on what Barnes would go for now that he was about to have a lot more of a public-facing role. Not that he seemed to be the adventurous kind with his appearance, at least during the current day.

Barnes looked at him, a flicker of a blink passing over his eyes. He opened his mouth like he was about to respond, but no words came out before he closed his lips again and looked back towards the barber, pushing his tongue to the inside of his cheek as a heavy exhale rocked through his chest.

“You all right, man?” Lemar asked, frowning. That was the second time he’d been compelled to ask that in the few days he’d known Barnes.

Lemar got another nod, the black fabric at Barnes’ neck moving as he swallowed.

———————————

Bucky's pardon requires that he wear an artificially intelligent shock collar as a term of his release. Bucky accepts, knowing it's his only chance to get out and do some good in the world.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people ready to severely misuse that power.

A retelling of TFATWS.

Pairings/Characters: Bucky Barnes & Sam Wilson, appearances by the general TFATWS cast

Warnings: Chapter 19 - nothing major, all mostly implied

Author's Note: No major warnings for this chapter, just a lot of implications...

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.

#svsss #luo binghe #svsss au #scum villain #scum villian self saving system #shen yuan #shen qingqiu #disciple shen yuan #lbh. visibly exhausted and with twitchy eyes: im fine :) | everyone else: ho no the fuck you ARENT.#SQQ was hysterical not because he found out LBH was half-demon but bc he was having a long-awaited mental breakdown over his autonomy :)#or (limited) lack thereof. he was having a sudden onset crisis of mortality and was handling at quite literally the WORST time. oops #im thinking very hard that LBH would never push his disciple into the abyss especially with no system to force him to. so SQQ either #had to goad him into it (failing always) or throw himself in. he ended up doing it himself but not before some very impressive hysterics.#BUT ALSO. IF THIS HAD BEEN WHERE SQQ WAS THE HALF-HEAVENLY DEMON INSTEAD IT WOULD'VE BEEN SO GREAT.#and by great i mean horribly angsty bc SQQ is NOT doing too hot and has. in very SY-like fashion. convinced himself that LBH will kill him #when he finds out he's a demon. so when it comes out i have this mental image of him lunging at LBH and LBH flinches back. but SQQ wraps hi #hands around the blade of Zheng Yang and yanks it up so the tip of the blade is digging into his chest where is heart is. LBH can't yank th #sword away without risking slicing into SQQ's hands. SQQ's hair has fallen out of its tail/bun and is now messily spilling down his #back and its NO helping the kinda deranged look he has going on. he's visibly shaking and his eyes keep flittering away and back at LBH's #face. SQQ is looking at the messages from the system warning him that he has to go into the abyss or punishment will occur. he's like.#rambling though. talking about how shizun doesn't *like* unclean things and there is nothing more unclean than a demon. like he is #INSISTING. LBH can't?? get a fucking word in. actually. SY isn't listening that much either anyways. too overwhelmed with the system and #the amount of stress he's under and his crumbling mental state and the innate and primal desire to live even when he's standing in front of #his own executioner. it all ends with him sitting on the ground at the lip of the abyss with his hair falling in his face. he looks so #unkempt and fallen apart and so distinctly *non-Shen Qingqiu* that LBH feels physically ill over it. tears are streaming down SQQ's face #and despite everything he is smiling. its not a nice smile. its a very frayed falling apart at the seams about to crack smile.#he tells shizun not to worry about staining his blade with this disciple's filthy blood because this disciple will take care of it himself.#and then he falls into the abyss before luo binghe can so much as grab him. the only reason LBh doesn't literally jump in after him is bc #he was numb with shock and the abyss was already closed before he could feel his legs again :]

And if I said Lucanis definitely thought Rook was dead? And if I said he gave up the second Solas appeared instead of Rook? And if I said the only thing keeping him alive those weeks Rook was gone was Spite and the thought that if he waited long enough for the others to get over this delusional idea that Rook was coming back he might just get a shot at Solas? Might just be able to die taking revenge for the love of his life? And if I said he refused to listen to the others telling him they weren't gone because if he allowed himself even a little bit of hope the pain if it wasn't true would be worse than what he could handle without going insane? And if I said he gave up because not giving up was more than he was capable of after everything he'd endured? If I said Rook was the only bright spot he had in his life and they got taken away? What then? What would happen if I said all that?

#good thing i didn't say any of it #but yeah when rook popped back out of the fade lucanis was in a state of shock #because he gave up #not because he doesnt love rook or doesnt believe in them #but because that was what finally broke him #the ossuary caterina illario ghilannain weisshaupt #he could handle all of that #but rook dying? he couldnt take that #lucanis dellamorte #rook dragon age #rookanis #but honestly this is friend rook as well #rook x lucanis #dragon age #dragon age the veilguard #datv #cora amell

I rewatched Zuko and Azula's Agni Kai recently and it's left me wondering – when Zuko begins to goad Azula into striking him with lightning, was he making the decision to kill her?

Because had Azula shot lightning directly at him like he planned and not at Katara, the most forthright implication to me is that he was intending to strike Azula with her own lightning. And Azula, for all her mastery, would not have been able to counter that.

On the other hand, maybe he wasn't planning to kill her at all and was simply planning to redirect it elsewhere (similar to what he did with Ozai). But given the tone of tragedy throughout the Agni Kai, the fact that they both acknowledge that this fight will be "the end" to them, I don't think it's inaccurate to read Zuko's actions as him preparing to kill Azula, even though an Agni Kai doesn't have to end with death (and in canon it didn't). Also, why goad her into striking him with lightning if he wasn't planning on doing something intentional with it? If anything, it adds another layer to the tragedy to me, because I don't believe Zuko wants to kill her. And it stands in such contrast to the way that Azula desperately wants to kill him.

I also think that there would have even been something sadly poetic in that sort of demise for Azula should the Agni Kai had gone this direction: Azula, struck down by her preferred sub-skill. Azula, struck down by the very bolt of lightning that she intended to kill her brother with. Azula, struck down by her own power.

#I'm just so curious to Zuko's state of mind during this Agni Kai #maybe I'm slow on the uptake and everyone's gonna be like: obviously he was trying to kill her #but it just... never occurred to me #Like I knew he brought up lightning redirection as an intentional goad?#but I never really thought about what his planned outcome was given how the fight ends up panning out #Also Zuko's perspective when it comes to killing is interesting to me #because morally he's not against it!!#He thinks Ozai should die #And tells Ozai that the reason that he's not going to kill him (during the eclipse) is because of optics/politics (its the avatar's duty)#he thinks that had Katara killed her mother's killer it would have been a form of justice #(or maybe he was just referring to the act of her confronting him idk that whole convo is very ambiguous at times lol)#and yet AND YET he still reached out to save Zhao in season 1 despite Zhao having tried to kill him #he seems shocked (unsettled?) by the idea that Azula might die when she's falling from the airship and that's what?#days? a few weeks before the Agni Kai?#(and sure that reaction could just be shock that she would die so... randomly? but still)#Its just so fascinating #and so tragic #atla #zuko

After 16 months I just had a conversation with a gentile who expressed support/sympathy for Hamas just immediately changed their mind after being informed that their stated goal is the murder/ethnic cleansing of Jews from the Levant and that they committed the Oct 7th terrorist attacks. Miracles do happen.

#im in shock lol #gingerswagfreckles #antisemitism #leftist antisemitism #jumblr #this has literally never happened in the entire 16 months since oct 7th and the hundreds of conversations ive had #idk how one doesnt know hamas committed the oct 7th terror attacks at this point but whatever #im just so glad one (1) person was like oh wait fr that's fucked up and that was the end of it #instead of offering 929282 reasons why burning entire families alive is actually resistance #and/or that all 1200 people who were killed plus the roughly 300 hostages of various ethnicities and religions #that were taken are all paid crisis actors working on behalf of the state of Israel and faking thwor own #deaths and livestreaming their own murders on hamas's telegram channel somehow

State of Shock | Chapter 16 | 2.9k

by NamelessDragon (@anamelessdragon)

———————————

Excerpt:

It didn’t take Bucky long to catch up to Sam, even with his injuries from the fight.

It had been a while since he’d experienced being pitted against multiple super soldiers. The Flag Smashers had been a lot lower in skill level than any of his past opponents, to a point he knew they must have been new to the power the serum had given them. That inexperience was also clear in the way they engaged in battle. But with that level of strength, especially against a normal human, they wouldn’t need much skill - even a tank with an unlicensed driver hitting a single person off-center would do severe damage.

Bucky wasn’t a normal human. What he was, was a pardoned ex-assassin super soldier with a contractual obligation to the American government ensured by several signatures and a shock collar.

———————————

Bucky's pardon requires that he wear an artificially intelligent shock collar as a term of his release. Bucky accepts, knowing it's his only chance to get out and do some good in the world.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people ready to severely misuse that power.

A retelling of TFATWS.

Pairings/Characters: Bucky Barnes & Sam Wilson, appearances by the general TFATWS cast

Warnings: Chapter 16 - aftermath of canon-typical violence

Author's Note: Another chapter, fast on the heels of the last! I'm finishing up a two week vacation, so had a bit of extra time to forge forward with this. I was excited to jump into the first full scene of Sam and Bucky interacting. I hope the wait between chapters remains fairly short for this one, but we'll see how life progresses.

Read on AO3.
