Splinters of Madness || Heya.

I'm still continuing my internet hiatus, but we just had the first year anniversary of Splinters on 6/9. That's pretty wild.

So, as my little gift...

Here's some content that didn't make it into the fic.

Chapter 11: Kunikida comes to Dazai's house and sees Chuuya

Why this didn't make it in: I wrote this fairly early on in Splinters when I was still trying to figure out character behaviors as well as plot. A lot of this turned out very differently than I planned, and I really felt like this animosity between Chuuya and Kunikida was unwarranted at this point in time. This is from Kunikida's POV, and would've taken place after the Big Fun party.

When there’s no answer at the door, Kunikida makes the executive decision to break in. “Dazai? Dazai!”

“He’s currently in the bathroom,” an unfamiliar voice said. A tired, cold-looking ginger appeared at the top of the stairs, haughtily staring down at Kunikida. Nakahara Chuuya, or N.C., Dazai’s current boyfriend. “And what reason do you have for being here?”

Kunikida glares up at him. “I’m here because he’s my friend.”

N.C. rolled his eyes. “Mmm. Some friend you are.” He raised a brow. “It’s funny. I thought boyfriends are supposed to introduce their partners to their friends and family to get approval. Yet, I never needed yours.”

Kunikida stiffened. “He… he has… he has pushed me away.”

“Hmph.” A sniff. N.C. slowly makes his way down the stairs, his brown and blue eyes glittering menacingly. “You know, things like that make me wonder what kind of friend you are if he didn’t want you around.”

Once he reached the bottom step, Kunikida found N.C. was more than a head shorter than him—yet still imposing. There was a sort of energy to him, a dangerous energy. One that he was immensely worried about having around Dazai.

Dazai’d had enough of that freshman and sophomore year. He’d told him as much.

“The kind of friend he might be trying to protect. We were fine the day of—something happened to him.”

N.C. snickered nastily. “Riiiight. And you didn’t even think to investigate, did you?”

“I did. He didn’t want me to.”

“Didn’t want you to, or couldn’t want you to?” N.C. raised a brow. “You truly are stupid, aren’t you.” It wasn’t a question.

“If you have a point, make it. I’d rather be upstairs and checking in on him.”

N.C. smiled. It didn’t meet his eyes. “Fine. In fact, I’ll make multiple. My first one: you’re not going upstairs.”

Kunikida bristled. “Excuse me?”

“You’re fucking excused. Second point: Dazai needs support. Needed support. And, well, you weren’t there, were you?”

“I tried.”

“Not hard enough.” His eyes were ablaze. “Not fucking hard enough. Third point: I’m here. Therefore, you’re not needed.”

Kunikida’s brow furrowed. “He called me first.”

N.C. shrugged. “Sure. But I was the one who answered the call.” He stepped closer to Kunikida. “I was the one who came here first.” Stepping closer. “I’ve been the one he has confided in.” His hands curled into Kunikida’s sleep shirt, and yanked him down so they’re eye-to-eye. “And I will remain as such, while you fuck off.”

Kunikida bared his teeth. “You’re fucking possessive.”

N.C. bared his teeth back. “Finders keepers, losers weepers, you fucking shit-head.” He shoved Kunikida backwards, causing the taller man to stumble. “Leave before Dazai has yet another problem to worry about.”

“Make me.”

N.C. pulls out a gun, and Kunikida’s breath catches in his throat.

He smiles. “I can and I will. Leave.”

Kunikida glances at the stairs helplessly. Somewhere up there, Dazai needs help.

And down here, N.C.’s going to shoot him if he tries to provide that.

…

He leaves.

…You’ve won this battle, N.C.

Chapter 9: Chuuzai Make-out Post DOA Make-Out

Why this didn't make it in: First off, I felt like Chuuya's jealousy here especially would not make sense after Stormbreaker. I also felt that after Dazai basically came out of more or less being sexually assaulted, Chuuya would not just fucking turn around and do the same thing. It just felt very ooc and didn't really have a place in the story.

As Dazai stumbled exhaustedly out of Fyodor’s house, a certain ginger on a motorbike was sitting outside, a big, furious smile on his face.

Once Dazai got closer, Chuuya leaned on his motorbike, his smile sharp. “Did you have fun?” he sneered.

Dazai merely stared at Chuuya blankly. His skin was covered with the abuse they had left on him, and theirs with his. What did he think?

Well, Dazai didn’t think much of it. He didn’t think at all.

Chuuya propped his bike before getting off of it, stomping over to Dazai. He grabbed his chin, tilted his face from side to side, his brown and blue eyes scanning over the many bruises left on Dazai’s unbandaged neck. “How cute,” he seethed.

“Did you come to take me home, Chuuya?” Dazai asked quietly.

The boy looked up, a sneer still big on his face. “I don’t see why I should. Why don’t you get one of your Angels to take you?”

Dazai merely stared at him tiredly. “I can walk back,” he said coldly. Before he could start, however, Chuuya grabbed his hand. Dazai looked at him, patient.

“…I’ll give you a ride. Come on.”

<ride>

The moment they got back, Chuuya grabbed Dazai by the wrist, dragged him upstairs, and immediately shoved him onto the bed. Before Dazai could do anything, Chuuya was covering his neck in more kisses, biting, sucking. “These fuckers didn’t do you right,” he hissed between kisses.

Dazai couldn’t help but moan as Chuuya took a huge part of his neck into his mouth and sucked hard, his hands grasping onto Chuuya’s shoulders with frantic desire. “Ch-Chuuya,” he gasped, his fingers digging in hard.

Chuuya simply hummed against his neck, melting the boy onto the bed even more. Eventually, Chuuya released with a loud, perfect pop, his lips rather swollen. He grinned down at Dazai, a bright, fiery spark in his eyes.

“Hello, beautiful,” he purred. Dazai could only stare up at him, his breath caught.

“I—you—guh—lookwhostalking!” Dazai blurts out messily. Any smoothness he was trying to present was nonexistent, and Chuuya couldn’t help but chuckle with his gorgeous, husky voice.

Chuuya caresses Dazai’s face with the back of his hand, and he finds himself leaning into it, sighing—

And then the boy grabs it, makes sure Dazai’s head is turned to the side, and returns back to marring the skin on his neck with renewed vigor, startling him. His back arched with the stimulation, and he let out a high pitched hiss.

Chapter 10: Some original Stormbreaker concepts

Why this didn't make it in: Incredibly early on me and Lu had the discussion about why Chuuya would be JD, and the idea came up almost immediately that it would be a version of Stormbringer. This got work-shopped for a while, and so some different details didn't make it in for one reason or another.

N originally would've blown Verlaine up in a demolition experiment (keeping more with JD's dad's character) and told Chuuya that it was an accident, but that Chuuya was now safe from Verlaine (and not from him). Chuuya wouldn't have believed this and would've thought that N might've ordered Verlaine to kill the Flags.

Chuuya would've been stuck with N because N has threatened to blow him up; at this point, he's waiting until he's 18 to try and get away.

Kouyou and Hirotsu would've been Dazai's parents.

Why this didn't make it in: Read my thought process below.

Chapter 9: Dazai's Forgery

Why this didn't make it in: I felt like Kunikida was far too antagonistic, and Fyodor was smarter than just having Dazai hand the note to Atsushi, because Atsushi's not stupid.

Chuuya was giving Dazai major side-eye from the cafeteria; Dazai gives Atsushi the letter directly and Kunikida shows up to glare at him. "Still fucking around with the Decay?/Atsushi, I've already told you to stay away from this waste of bandages." They have a stare off.

Dazai catches Fyolai flirting

Why this didn't make it in: Couldn't really find a place for it. There's similar instances in the fic. Also, if I remember, it was a little ooc.

“Now, my dear Kolya…”

A whimper. “F-Fedya…”

“Shhh… your eyes are so beautiful.” He kissed just above them on Nikolai’s brow, causing the boy’s white-hair to stick out even more so than usual against his red face. “Green, like ivy. Like life itself, Kolya.”

“O-oh,” the boy simpered. “Is that so?”

“Mm.” Fyodor’s hum was warm, syrupy. “And your hair is like snow…” He took the middle of Nikolai’s braid and raised it to his lips, kissing it gently.

Dazai could tell that Nikolai was enjoying this immensely. The boy was like jelly underneath him, strawberry jelly.

“And your cheeks… Kolya,” Fyodor purred. Nikolai shuddered. “Why, they look as rosy as the flower itself.” His hand caressed the side of Nikolai’s face, and the boy leaned into it, his eyes never leaving Fyodor’s.

“Really?” Nikolai’s voice was far too high. “I hadn’t realized.” Dazai wasn’t entirely sure he was being sarcastic in that moment.

The ghost of Fyodor’s lips came onto Nikolai’s cheeks, and with a small, velvety laugh, Fyodor said, “Kolya. You seem to have a little gift down there.”

Nikolai’s face grew redder, if that was possible. “No I don’t.”

“Mm… and what I’m feeling here?”

A very loud, high whine went through the air. “Th-there’snothingthere!—hnnn, Fedya! Don’t, don’t tease like that!”

Nope. Nope. I don’t, I don’t need to hear this!

Another laugh. “Ah, my poor, sweet Kolya. Are you in pain right now?”

“Sh-shut up!” Fyodor was yanked forward into a kiss by Nikolai. As he reached his hand up to wrap around the back of Nikolai’s head, Dazai got the feeling that he was rather into it.

Chapter 6: Does Your Mommy Know You Drink All This Crap?

Why this didn't make it in: This was early on in the process when I was still trying to figure out Chuuya's deal, and I was trying to see how closely I wanted to stick to the original Heathers plot.

“Does your mommy know you drink all this crap?” Dazai teased, as he took a large sip of his own incredibly sugary-drink.

Chuuya said, “Not anymore,” and sipped loudly.

Dazai stared at him.

Oh, fuck. I fucked this up so badly. Oh my god—

“Oi. Don’t look at me like that,” Chuuya snapped. “She wasn’t much to write home about in the first place.”

“Ah. I’m, sorry.” There was a new-found tension in both Dazai and Chuuya’s bodies, and Dazai hated the fact that he had created it.

Dazai talking with Atsushi about the ADA

Why this didn't make it in: Didn't really fit anywhere.

Atsushi gazes at Dazai curiously. “Dazai-san, can I ask a question?”

“I don’t know, can you?” Dazai joked. He could tell he wasn’t going to like whatever it was. “Shoot.”

Atsushi took a deep breath.

“Dazai-san, you’re friends with the ADA, right?”

Dazai nodded, his movements careful. “Sure.”

A pause. “They’re worried about you, you know.”

He forces a laugh. It sounds wrong. “What’s to worry about? I’m doing fine.”

Atsushi gazed at him with something… miserable. “Dazai-san.” He takes another deep breath. “You’re still wearing your bandages.”

“They’re a fashion statement,” Dazai says a little too quickly. A quick memory of the same comment being made previously flashed in his brain.

“You’re the only one making it, then,” Atsushi replies nervously. “Kunikida-san talks about you. A lot.”

“Mm.” I bet he does. Probably mostly complaining.

Chapter 11: Dazai's original reaction to Fyodor + post-Big Fun party

Why this didn't make it in: You'll probably figure it out, but I felt like Dazai was ooc, as well as the way he and Chuuya handle this situation just doesn't... it didn't flow exactly with the story and the direction I was taking. I will also say that this was also early in the writing process, so it makes sense it's a little off.

Fyodor’s smile grows thin, sharp. “Expect an email by 3 PM on Monday, Dazai~,” he purred. “You’ll see some familiar files in there.”

Dazai was going to be sick. (Again.)

With many desperate, breathy ‘no’s, he tried to grab onto Fyodor, but he stepped out of his way, causing him to land in the puddle of vomit on the ground. Fyodor’s eyes were purple pinpricks, like a cat looking on its prey. “My dear, darling Dazai,” he crooned, tilting his head up with a curled finger, “You have officially crashed into hell. Enjoy your stay.”

The moment Dazai got home, he stumbled up the stairs, his breaths shallow and harsh. The lack of reaction from the house meant that his parents weren’t home. Again.

Not that they’d care.

He was going to be sick. He was going to be sick all over the house. Where the fuck is my toilet.

He tripped, falling onto the carpet. The world was spinning, swirling, it was all moving and he couldn’t see straight, and the floor was scratchy, it rubbed wrong, and the bandages are wrong, it’s all wrong, and, oh god, he was going to—

He puked all over the carpet, heaving and sobbing as he did so. The vomit was wet, squishy under his fingers. He found himself heaving again, screaming.

At some point, he found himself by the phone, his fingers shaking. He didn’t know when he got there.

It was dialing. Who the fuck was he calling? What time is it?

“…”

A sigh. “You’ve reached the Nakahara residence. Chuuya speaking.”

“Ch-Chuuya,” Dazai gasped. “Chuuya, it’s you.” It’s you, it’s you, it’s you.

“Dazai?” Chuuya sounded surprised. God, was his voice warm. “I forgot—are you okay?”

“Chuuya, Chuuya, please come here, please.”

“The hell?” It was more muttered than directly said. Then, louder: “What’s wrong?”

“Chuuya, please!” Dazai wasn’t sure if he’d ever sounded this desperate. “Please be here, please come, please, please, please—”

“Take a breath. I’ll be—wait, where are you right now?”

“I’m at h-home. Chuuya—”

“I’ll be there in ten. Take deep breaths.” He hangs up, and Dazai’s heart drops. He lets the phone hang off the wire, and drops down to the floor, hugging his knees.

“Oh, Dazai.” A warm, heavy hand came onto his back, rubbing it, and Dazai shuddered with relief. “Geez. Have you never gone drinking before?”

“Chuuya,” he whispered, turning to look back at him.

Oh, was Chuuya beautiful. His normally tied-back auburn curls were lying loose around his shoulders. His brown and blue eyes glimmered and swirled with worry. His face was dusted with freckles. How could Dazai have never noticed those before? They were so, so—

He threw up.

Original four chapter plans

These aren't precise to how it turned out in the fic as y'all can tell, but here's the original plans for it. Keep in mind that the details in these are no longer necessarily accurate, and so if it seems like you're spotting a spoiler (like the one in chapter 1 below), you're probably not.

Chapter 1

SCENES:

Intro paragraph – September 1st, 1989. Dear Diary: I believe I’m a good person. You know, I think that there’s good in everyone. But, uh, here we are. First day of senior year! And, uh, I look around at these kids that I’ve known all my life and I ask myself, “What happened?” – Veronica Sawyer

Dazai goes to school with Kunikida, and their friendship is introduced as well as the closeness between him and the ADA. This takes place before Naomi, Jun’ichirou, Kenji, or Atsushi are a part of the ADA. The group consists of Katai, Ranpo, Yosano, and Kirako at this time.

The PM and HD groups are shown to be at odds with each other and especially with the ADA. TG kinda sticks off to itself, although Poe hangs out around Ranpo quite a bit since they’re boyfriends (in secret).

The DOA appears, and Dazai and Kunikida talk shit about them. However, Dazai does look at Fyodor with curiosity—Fyodor is intriguing to him, especially with the amount of power he holds despite the great disdain everyone holds towards him and the DOA.

Dazai ends up in the bathroom with the DOA (unknown to the DOA). Kouyou shows up and claims detention, when Dazai quickly comes out with not only a forgery but excellent charisma. Because of that, Fyodor acknowledges that not only does he have interest in him, but has had interest in him. The bait is set.

The ADA wonder what happened to Dazai.

Dazai basically says “why would I want to join your group” and Fyodor pulls out blackmail of some criminal activity Dazai has engaged in previously with the threat to send this to any universities he’s applied to as well as the bullshit excuse of “don’t you want to know what it’s like at the top of the top”. Dazai ofc goes “how the fuck did you find out about that” and Fyodor states he has his ways. (Sigma, ofc, is the way, but that’s delved into later.) Dazai ends up accepting.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2: “Qué Será, Será” or “Fuck With the Eagles”

FIC: Dazai starts distancing from the ADA, especially Kunikida. Kunikida goes “what the fuck, why are you distancing”, and Dazai more or less brushes it off. Nakahara Chuuya comes to Yokohama High and makes a subtle splash.

At the end of class, Kunikida tries to grab Dazai, but Sigma comes and retrieves him with the claim that they have the next class together.

Dazai starts distancing from the ADA and especially Kunikida. Kunikida occasionally hangs out with him but constantly comments about the lack of engagement + his new-found relationship with the DOA. Dazai’s fairly cagey about it and hopes that Kunikida will let it go.

Kunikida interrogates Dazai weeks later, stating about the shit that’s been happening to him (and lowkey the ADA) and goes “what the fuck”. Dazai acts coldly towards him (though internally ofc he’s having a whole fucking crisis) and Kunikida basically has a meltdown before leaving.

Dazai meets Nakajima Atsushi while out and about, and they have a friendly banter between them. He defends him from Akutagawa (and Tachihara, although it is very obvious Akutagawa is the one that has more of an issue with Atsushi).

Fyodor of course finds out and basically goes “hey. :) what’s this about”. Fyodor leaves it alone for now but you know shit’s going to get fucked up later

Atsushi runs into Akutagawa who acts like a little bitch!

Atsushi runs into Nikolai who also acts like a little bitch!

Atsushi is a little sad :( its okay though because the ADA will take him in!

Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Qué Será Será

Aka: the three weeks before Chuuya comes to Yokohama high

Atsushi is described as interesting by Dazai; Dazai also has members of the ADA approach him still (less and less though)

Atsushi and Dazai hang out watching the football team; Sigma is there cheerleading; Atsushi points out Akutagawa and Dazai moans about it

Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Holy Shit! Aka Chuuya’s intro chapter

Nakahara Chuuya, a new transfer, shows up at school. He’s short dark and mysterious, and Dazai is a little aware of him but not by much.

He starts taking notice though after Tachihara comes in sporting a brand-new black eye that he mysteriously won’t talk about, and Chuuya has a now-bandaged hand.

Eventually, Dazai approaches Chuuya and goes “hey ;)”. Chuuya, unimpressed, goes “hey :/”. They start engaging during Hirotsu’s class.

Need disclaimer at end of this: You can probably already tell this, but this Chuuya is not going to appear in character when you read. That’s because this Chuuya has gone through hella emotional damage, which we will get into later! After all, Chuuya’s been stuck with his dad for an awfully long time…

More Stormbreaker things that didn't make it in

I did in fact furiously debate about whether to make Chuuya A258 or A5158(? I think that's what is usually used) and had a lot of discussions with Lu about it.

Would've thrown a 'crazy? i was crazy once' joke in there when he was talking about NIMH.

Chuuya would've indirectly said to Dazai that N has studied near his brain.

Chuuya and Verlaine didn't get alternate identities every time they moved and instead just continued to be Nakahara Chuuya and Arthur Rimbaud. They also had public identities.

Verlaine and Chuuya originally didn't distance as greatly as they did in Splinters, and actually stayed really close until the end.

Hope y'all enjoyed <3

If I Could Start Again Ch. 4 (podfic)

Missed a day but I’m back! And gonna try to make up for it instead of getting ahead on work. Next chapter’s the first one with Nick Fury in it, so get ready for this nerdy white girl’s valiant attempt at a Samuel L. Jackson impression. *gulp*

If I Could Start Again

Summary: Stormbreaker strikes Thanos a couple inches to the left of where it does in canon, with much more satisfying results. However, revenge alone won't fill the voids left behind by all that Thor has lost. The Time Stone might be able to help with that.

Infinity War Thor is thrown back into his younger body on the night of the botched coronation. He's going to be doing things a lot differently this time.

Brodinsons-focused time travel AU.

The audio file is linked at the top of the chapter. For now it’s just an MP3 I stuck on google drive, but that might change if I figure out a better system.

Chapter 4: First Encounter, Take Two

Length: ~11 minutes.

Chapter summary: Thor begins to comprehend how complicated it might be to reforge his Earth friendships, and the Brodinsons touch down outside Puente Antiguo.

Characters: Thor, Loki. More briefly, Frigga, Sif+W3, Heimdall, Jane, Darcy, Erik.

I’m so glad you’re back - Chapter 12

chapter 1 chapter 2 chapter 3 chapter 4 chapter 5 chapter 6 chapter 7 chapter 8 chapter 9 chapter 10 chapter 11 chapter 13 chapter 14 chapter 15 Epilogue

We're almost there guys!! Now that I've finished it I kinda wanna upload it all at once but we've gotta be patient ❤❤

hope you enjoy!!!! let me know your thoughts!

The tunnels were dark. There was barely any light to allow Natasha to see as she ran down the halls, but thankfully her flashlight managed to light the way as she ran from the disgusting creatures called the Chitauri. The same ones she had fought over a decade ago in new york with her newly formed team. Just herself, thor, tony, bruce Clint and steve. There were tons of them chasing her, she could just about outrun them before she found an opening to the level above and the further levels above that.

She knew the opening would allow her to get to the ground outside once she reached the top. Throwing her spare grappling hook up, she managed to get it to hook onto something, allowing her to automatically pull herself upwards. She had replaced it once she had resulted to prepare for the blowback after the second snap, just in case. At the time she didn't even realise she was replacing it, Vormir had still been fresh, her old hook swiped and used by Clint to keep her from falling off that goddamn cliff. But she had replaced it, there wasn't any reason she had too, she didn't expect for this to happen, maybe it was just an automatic response to losing her equipment, she'd done it for years, loosing and using things that needed replacing. But now she was glad she had replaced it because if she hadn't, she'd probably be Chitauri food right now.

The Chitauri tried to follow her by climbing up the walls, their claws digging in to the metal walls and curling around handrails allowing them leverage to grip against, but before they could reach her she pulled out her gun from her thigh holster, making sure to keep the gauntlet secure under her other arm, and shot at them as she spun around the cord, some were killed by the bullets and some weren't, but thankfully she had her widow bites and miniature explosive arrowheads that she had spare for client, in her utility belt. Throwing them at the creatures, they started to set off as she rode up to the cord, killing the remaining Chitauri without hurting herself, allowing her a clean getaway.

Finally reaching the top level, Natasha unattached herself from the cord and collapsed onto the floor, letting out a huff of a laugh and a huge breath she clutches at the metal glove to her chest when She can hear a sound to her right, like footsteps. suddenly she jerks her eyes open. But Natasha just sees her friend nebula walking towards her.

Letting out a sigh in relief at the sight of her friend, Natasha speaks to the woman that her son considers an aunt.

“Boy am I glad to see you neb” the redhead shoots her arms upwards, holding out the gauntlet for nebula to take, which the blue cyborg gladly does. To be honest, nebula though it might have been harder to take the gauntlet but it seemed this woman was more than happy to hand it over. Natasha was glad to finally let someone else take the responsibility for the most powerful thing in the universe but soon she would come to regret it.

Closing her eyes once more, Natasha lets herself catch her breath and relax, flopping her arms down to her sides.

“Father I have the stones”

Shooting her eyes open, and sitting up Natasha is confused at first, it isn't until she looks at nebula again with confusion, that she realises she is missing her golden faceplate. now Its silver, like it was the first time they had met. This wasn't her nebula. Then it clicked. Once they had got back from the quantum tunnel and from getting the stones, she had wandered off on her own, no one had seen her when bruce had snapped. Natasha thought maybe it was because they had lost a team member and she wanted to let them mourn. But it was too much coincidence. Nebula goes missing and then the compound blows up?

“what?”

Before Natasha can react to her suspicion, ‘nebula’ pulls out a gun, aiming it at her head. The spy could see the blue finger inching closer to the trigger, ready to pull it on the woman on the ground with no hesitation. The only thing that stops her from shooting is a voice calling her name, it isn't one that's familiar with Natasha, but nebula instantly knows who it is.

Shifting her eyes to see this new voice, Natasha sees green skin and red hair. Then it clicks, nebula and rocket had shown her a picture once of nebulas sister. Gamora. It was her, and she was holding out a gun, aiming at her sister.

Nebula follows the braided redheads gaze to see her sister.

“Stop” For a second, one small second, nebula actually thinks about it. But she shakes her head. The gun on Natasha still ready to fire.

“I can't.” tightening her grip on the gun nebula moves to fire but is stopped once more. But not by her sister, but by her older self.

“Stop!”

“You're betraying us.” its all the younger nebula can think about, gamora had been loyal to their father and so had she. She just wanted the same appreciation that her sister received and if helping his cause would do that then so be it. Her sister had always been his favourite. She just wanted to be loved. Was that too much to ask?

“You don't have to do this.” it's her older self that speaks up this time. Future nebula knew she could change, she was the past nebula at one point, and in that timeline, she was a few months of joining her sister anyway. But maybe this, the change in her timeline was too much.

“I am - this.”

“No, you're not.” Gamora's heart almost breaks at her sister's thoughts, nebula didn't believe she could do good, that she could change. All she needed was a push, a little help.

“See what we'll become.” future nebula begs her past self.

“Nebula, listen to her.” gamora tells her sister, she wants to believe she will change sides but she can't take that risk just in case. Gamora is still holding the gun at her sister, and nebula still holding hers at Natasha.

“You can change.” future nebula tells her, but her pst selfs eyes darken even further, her voice becoming deeper at the realisation that she would never be allowed too.

“He won't let me”

Suddenly, nebulas gun is moved from Natasha's head and is swung in the direction of her sister, but gamora is too slow to react to the sudden act.

“No!”

Nebula steps closer to pull the trigger but before she can a bang goes off, and then there's a hold in her chest. Right in her heart. Natasha and gamora stare in shock at the injured cyborg as she quickly falls to the ground, dead.

Both woman looking up, they see that it was the real nebula, the future one that had shot the past version of herself.

as Natasha sat and watched the strained look on her friends face, her nebula crouched down to be at her level and carefully checked she was okay.

“Nat are you okay? Is James safe?”

“I'm fine neb, and James is at tony and peppers don't worry. Thank you.” cannula nodded at her friend, not needing her to thank her. She would do anything to protect the ones she considered family. Swivelling on her feet, she leaned over to pick the gauntlet from the dead cyborg's arms and passed it to the redhead.

“Natasha, you need to get the stones to our friends.”

“be safe.” Natasha nodded quickly and opened her mouth.

“I will, you be safe too got it?” giving the cyborg a quick hug, Natasha turns to look at the green woman who had a look of disbelief and surprise at her sister.

“Pleasure to meet you gamora, your sister told me all about you, id loves to stay and chat but you know.”

Gamora agreed with the redheaded woman, and let her get back to business, they both watched as Natasha left the level and made it up to the surface. Gamora just couldn't believe she had actually seen her sister hug another being willingly and had worried about another called James? Her sister really had made friends and even thought of them as a family in the future.

---------------------

A violent battle immediately begins between the Avengers, their allies and Thanos' army.

Both sides collide with each other on the ground and in the air, as a giant Ant-Man punches a Leviathan to the ground, the same type of leviathan the original avengers had fought in new york in 2012. Tony and pepper were fighting side by side in the sky, repulsor beams aiming at different enemies as they fly back to back. Down on the ground below the wife and husband were steve and thor fighting off the chitauri that were trying to rip them apart, at one point they ended up with each others weapons, thor holding his classic weapon and steve with Stormbreaker.

“No, no, you have the little one.”

Steve playfully rolled his eyes at the god as they swapped weapons once more so thor could have the bigger one and so they could continue to fight the ravenous creatures charging towards them.

Suddenly in the sky, tony is ambushed by Cull Obsidian, the giant being knocking him with his weapon but swinging past to catch him was peter. The teenager then shot his webs at the monster and pulled using his strength, making Obsidion trip on his feet and fall to the ground but before the giant could get up and fight back, Scott lang in his giant form conveniently stepped on him, instantly crushing and killing him.

After watching the giant being crushed, peter instantly ran over to his mentor to check if he was okay. Tony was speechless, the kid was here. Peter was stood right in front of him after all this time, the same kid babbling on without breathing like he used to do. This kid, peter, was the reason they brought everyone back. If he hadn't of seen peters picture a few days ago, he doubts he would have made the quantum tunnel time machine.

“Hey! Holy cow! You will not believe what's been going on. Do you remember when we were in space? And I got all dusty? And I must've passed out because I woke up and you were gone. But Doctor Strange was there right. And he said 'It's been five years. Come on, they need us.' And he started doing the yellow sparkly thing that he does. Anyway…”

All tony can do is walk towards the teenager and pull him into a hug, a content smile on his face as he embraced peter. This hug came 5 years too late. Peter was hesitant at first, he didn't actually realise what tony was doing until he was hugging him, but as soon as he realised he returned the hug with a smile.

“This is nice.”

------------

On a separate part of the battlefield, peter quill is trying to fight off the chitauri that are now beginning to outnumber him, he doesn't have enough hands or guns to fight them all off, but suddenly another blaster from behind kills the oncoming chitauri about to attack him.

Turning around to see his saviour, peters eyes land upon a green woman with dark red hair. Gamora. But he thought she died? Mantis had told him Thanos had been in grief when hey tried to stop him on titan. But here she was standing in front of him, his girlfriend. The woman he loved. His eyes widened in disbelief as he walked closer to her.

“Gamora? I thought I lost you.” Peter continues to get closer until the point he's inches away from her body and raises his arms to grab her face to pull her in for a kiss but before he can touch her, gamora lifts her knee straight into his groin, making him scream from the pain and collapse on the floor.

“This is the one? Really?” As she watches the human struggle on the floor, she raises one eyebrow in disgust and turns back round to her sister, the 2023 nebula who was stood behind her and questioned her. Nebula just shrugged her shoulders at gamora.

“It was either him or the tree.”

--------------

Running onto the battlefield, the redhead's eyes land on the countless soldiers and warriors fighting against their enemies. Looks like she missed a lot down in the tunnels. But the biggest thing that stood out to her was that every one of her friends was fighting. Not just her friends form the last 5 years, the ones she had made a team with but her friends she had lost all those years ago too. In the distance she can see red balls of energy, instantly recognising them as Wanda's powers. She was back! But it wasn't just Wanda that was back, she could see endless soldiers dressed in Asgardian armour, Thor’s lost people. She could see the young boy named peter swinging around dodging fire. She tried to look for more of her friends, but the oncoming hoard of chitauri won't allow her to stand and observe. She starts to run for it. The gauntlet still clutched in her arms.

Dodging as many creatures as she could and killing the ones that came into contact with her, Natasha ran towards the middle of the battleground, trying to find anyone that could help her but everyone is busy trying to defend themselves. Then Natasha remembered she still has her comm in, being too preoccupied with Chitauri and sister drama to notice or use it before. She stops, shielding herself behind some debree of a rock watching the battle commence.

“Tony! Can you hear me? I've got the stones, What do I do with them? Tony?”

“I'm a little busy right now red so ill have to direct your call to the man behind you. Thank you for calling.”

The redhead's eyebrows knit together at Tony's words. Confusion covered her face. Then turning around on the spot to her left, Natasha braid flips over to the other side of her shoulder. But shes stopped from moving any further by the overwhelming sense of shock she feels when she sees the man stood in front of her.

Looking the exact same he did when she last saw him. His longer darker hair and his beard the exact same. The same look of love on his face whenever he looked at her.

Natashas eyes start to well up at the sight of the super-soldier holding his old shield and Mjolnir in his hands. Her soldier.

Steve.

Infinite Chaos Prologue

(Slow burn)

Pairing: Thor x OFC

Warning: Screwgoogle- I mean, Google Translate was used for the Norwegian, so I do apologize if its incorrect (translations at the end, will put in-text translations later). On a more serious note, mentions of rape, murder, and all that jazz will be made throughout the entirety of this (and did I mention a slow burn?). Oh, and Infinity War sadness. *shrug* I'm still crying Loki and Peter, fite me.

Summary: After the snap, the world succumbs to chaos. People have taken the law into their own hands, banding together in tribes. They have either stayed in their towns or became nomadic, taking the search for what had happened into their own hands. A world of infinite chaos.

"In order for the light to shine brightly, the darkness must be present." - Kevin Bacon

- Flåm, Norway -

Elin had no idea how or why this happened. One moment she was getting the customer infront of her his books, "Tusen takk kom tilbake" on her lips before the kind old man disappeared in front of her. At first, she had thought kind, old mister Tino Väinämöinen left to get another book; it wouldn't have been the first time he had pulled that trick. Yet, no matter how long she waited for him, the old man with those haunted ice blue orbs never returned.

"Tino?" She called out for him, never once hearing a response to her small voice.

Her gaze then turned toward the window, the glass frosted over with chill of the december air. A frown graced her brown, nude lips. The few people that were standing outside the small bookshop, stared at the ground at piles of withering dust as if it had once been a person. They all seemed to be in a daze of confusion and fear that was broken by a shout.

"Heksekunst! Dette er heksens arbeid!"

Her green hues widened, feeling panic overtake her. Elin was raised as pagan who worshipped the old norse gods, yet some saw it as a form of witchcraft. So what if she burned a yule log for twelve days during their Christmas? Did that even make her a heks, or "witch"?

She stepped back from the window, seeing the tearful eyes of the angry Norwegian man on her.

Anger that had nowhere to direct but at her.

She ran for the back exit, navigating the shelves of books effortlessly. The windows shattered, the door breaking in as the intruders entered her place of employment. A place she knew as her second home. Into the snowed wilderness that surrounded the small town of Flåm and disappeared into the cold.

If one were to have been at the bookshop in that small town with a population of three hundred and ten hours later, they would see the small bookshop burning down. The sign falling infront of them, the sign that read "Bøker av ondskap" burning on the stone path that led to the quiet shop

- Aftermath of the Avengers versus Thanos; Wakanda -

Norns, could he do anything right? He failed to protect his family, his people, his brother! And now, now he has failed to protect the universe from the monster that had taken everything from him.

Stormbreaker was left on the ground almost dejectedly several feet away from where he sat.

"It wasn't your fault, Thor..."

He ignored the widow's worsds. After all, how could it not mot his fault? The bastard was right, he should have gone for the head.

"We'll find him, Thor.."

The sun will shine on us again, brother.

This time, he heard Steve say those words. Unlike Natasha, he sounded broken. Not once had the god- man thought that he had anything in common with the American besides their ability to not get drunk off of Midgardian spirits.

I.... Loki, Prince of Asgard.

Thor tilted his head back, eyes closed. Loki. Oh, how he missed his brother.

Odinson.

Loki Odinson. How long had it been since he had called himself that? To finally be accepted?

No, he had never felt accepted... he had always been in your shadow. And whom is at fault for his treachery? Thor did not stop his thoughts on their dark path. He deserved it. All of this? It was his fault after all. He was the one you ignored his brother. He was the one who caused his pain. He was the one who, inevitably, caused Thanos to win.

He was the one who destroyed half the universe.

Uhm, yeah. That's that. First chapter, prologue, Pilot; whatever. Its 23:33 (11:33 PM), I'm delirious, tired and I'm heading to bed; I got school in the morning.

Typos are justifiable by the use of my phone to type this. Also, constructive criticism is worshipped.

Translations:

Tusen takk kom tilbake: Thank you, come again

Heksekunst! Dette er heksens arbeid!: Witchcraft! This is the work of that witch!

Heks: Witch

Bøker av ondskap: Books of Mischief (originally Mischievous Books but screwgoogle didnt like that)

Breaking Dawn, Book 2 Part 1

In which nobody knows what they’re deailing with.

Let me tell you a little story.

In 2015, I had to do a university project on Boys’ Adventure Stories as a group presentation. As the only girl in the group, I got to look at the books from a feminist point of view. I also had to guess which books in the library were boys’ adventure stories, took a pile out (of which sadly only three have stuck in mind - Northern Lights, the first book of the His Dark Materials trilogy, Stormbreaker, the first of the Alex Rider books, and Artemis Fowl, the first book in the series of the same name), and sadly never got to read those books. Shame. It didn’t help that I had to read Gold of the Gods, the very book that inspired this very blog.

Anyway, after looking random stuff up on TV Tropes, I decided to put that wrong right, and am now looking up the books I failed to read two years ago. I don’t think any of them will end up on Too Long; Didn’t Read. I’ve finally read the first Artemis Fowl book, and no, it’s not going on this blog. Expect it to be referred to, though.

I would far sooner be reading that than Breaking Dawn. What you’re about to see is from the Book of Suck. I’d have hoped it to be one nice long part, but I’m afraid you’re going to be mistaken. I never finished book 2 whilst I still had Breaking Dawn. I ran out of patience at chapter... Oh, who cares? You do. Wait a second. Even the Book of Suck won’t tell me what chapter I stopped at.

I lost patience at the end of Chapter 12. Goody. That means I’ve got another... 27 chapters to go before I can wash my hands of this stuff. Well, shit.

Buckle up, kids.

And after that long intro, let’s kick this one off.

1. Preface. ‘Whiny crap’, I said. It’s mercifully short.

2. Italics for the wolf mind meld. Oh no. I took the decision to speed read those bits, and it seems nothing of value made it out of the actual page. Apart from Jacob being called out for being a horible person

3. Let’s meet Rachel Black! Yeah, Jacob’s sister has not appeared once in the story, and of course she makes her debut now. No, I know nothing about her. I asked, ‘WHY THE HELL HAVE WE NOT SEEN RACHEL BLACK BEFORE?’ She’s not really plot-relevant, and sadly nor is she here. She just exists to be the girlfriend via imprint of some guy named Paul, so I’m just going to pretend they don’t exist from now on and just move on.

4. Reigns vs Reins. The term ‘free rein’ is spelt without a g. Whoever proofread this must have been blinded by dollar signs, that’s my only explanation for this one.

5. The Quil and Claire scene. Remember these guys from Eclipse? If you’re new to Too Long; Didn’t Read, then you’ll know that Claire is Quil’s girlfriend via imprint. She is also two, something which sent me to the Great White Telephone. I’m not sure what the point of this scene is, but Claire’s parents? Please teach Claire you can’t always get what you want, because Quil is never going to teach her.

What we do learn is that imprinting is basically mind rape. Ick.

6. Oh, the Protagonists are Horrible People. Yeah, they really are. They’re now lying to Charlie - who is blissfully aware that he is about to become a grandfather - about Bells’ pregnancy. I think he’d want to know. The story is that she’s sick - which would only DRAW A PARENT CLOSE. Jesus Christ, not only do we have protagonists who I can now no longer call heros if I ever could, but they’re STUPID AS ALL HELL.

Villain Protagonist is not a bad trope, mind you. It can work.

Here... it doesn’t work.

Also, dipping into more TV Tropes language, Did They Think Charlie Couldn’t Feel? Gaah.

9. Medical consent, people. Jacob bas even less right than Edward to force an abortian on Beells. He’s not related.

10. What has Leah done? Seriously, everyone seems to have it in for her. What did she do? Did she invent Comic Sans? She’s snarky, so no, Leah’s not letting me down in being an OK character.

11. Crazy idea. Edward comes up with one - having Jacob be a sperm donor - and because plot, it won’t work. He’s called out on this, but then it leads to the next point -

12. Jacob failing to sound his age. He does not sound like a 16-year-old. No freaking way am I buying that narration.

Again, I’m not saying this is a bad thing - if it’s justified (case in point - Artemis Fowl) . Where’s your justification, Jacob?

13. Snarky Chapter Titles. Unforunately, the snark came out wrong. The only one that vaguely amused me was Chapter 10′s title, and that’s only because it’s right - Jacob is an idiot.

14. This is pregnancy on drugs. Bella has turned into an optimist. She’s normally a really, really pessimistic whiny person. Uh, what happened? Who or what happened? (Any suggestions are to be placed in the comments)

15. A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It doesn’t go like that. I can’t remember the full thing, but whatever interpretation you used, you got it wrong.

16. More rules of science are being torn up and set aflame. Why would the ultrasound not work? And also, whilst I dropped Biology 8 years ago, I’m pretty sure chromosones don’t work like that.

17. More headdesking. I don’t know a damn thing about artificial insemination, not being a farmer. It’s not really being handled well here. If Bells wants a kid and can’t really have one, couldn’t they get a vampire to be a surrogate (Not Rosalie, though)

18. That fight will never happen. Nuff said.

19. Everyone also hates Rosalie. Is it because she’s blonde? If so, someone needs to get over themselves.

20. The narration. I’ll get this elephant in the room out of the way - this narration is worse than Bella’s. Yeah, I know, can’t be unsaid.

21. In-laws. Doc, Bells is your daughter-in-law. This means she is family. Got that? Yes? Good.

22. Exposition that must break medical rules. Doc Cullen is now telling Jacob a whole pile of stuff that, as a friend of the expectant mother, shouldn’t really be finding out from him. Patient confidentiality, just saying.

23. Robbing a bank. Robbing a blood bank. Whilst, you know, there could be a blood shortage and people could be dying due to lack of suitable blood. Do I even have to say how wrong this is?

I’ll be back next week, if not with another part read, the long awaited Why I Won’t Review entry for The Host. In the meantime, I think I shall cheer myself up with something funny.

POSTSCRIPT: Remember my review of The Princess Diaries: A Royal Disaster? Well, I expleained the plot to my mum - who said it didn’t make sense at all. Looking at the plot again, yeah, sense is something it’s lacking. Thanks, Mum.
