early access + nsfw on patreon monster!AU masterpost

a refresher on the situation:

Alejandro and Rudy were aware that Graves was juicing himself somehow, because his abilities were growing stronger over time. It wasn't from gorging, since he's immune to those effects as a vampire so they knew it was probably an unknown drug. Ghost and Price had suspicions over what it could be, judging from their past with Roba, but they intentionally didn't share this information with the Vaqueros as they wanted to personally confirm (and Ghost+Price didn't reaaaaally wanna explain how they knew about it). AleRudy as a pair are pissed they withheld this information from them, as it could've given them a better idea of what they were getting into.

Bunker in White

Danny Phantom x Supernatural Crossover

DP Crossover Angst Week Day 1 - GIW Experimentation

Summary: Sam and Dean take up a job to go investigate a government base that had been attacked by vampires.

Warnings: vague descriptions of blood and gore

Notes: hmmm, I have never written anything for Supernatural before, but I've seen a good portion of it (years ago). Probably takes place earlier in the show.

Word Count: 2044

Sam and Dean had gotten this particular lead from Bobby, who in turn got it passed onto him from someone else, so it wasn’t a surprise this particular job was a mess. 

Apparently, a group of vampire’s had decided a weird, underground, government bunker would be the perfect hideout, resulting in a bloodbath between the government goons and the vamps. It was a large group too, which was a point of concern among the hunter’s who turned down the job. No one really knew who’d won inside between the vampires and the government, but Dean had placed his money on the vampires. He honestly doubted that some government agency with an obsession for the color white had any idea what they were up against, much less the correct tools for the job. Dean got proved wrong when they came across the first dead vampire. 

The bunker’s fluorescent lights were harsh against the darkness outside. The entire base still seemed to have power despite not being connected to any sort of power grid or system. It had made it an absolute pain in the ass to find, but at least that meant Sam and Dean didn’t have to wander around in the dark. The harsh lighting and bleached interior revealed a slaughter inside, staining the white walls with both vampire and human blood, leaving very little to imagination. The humans, all agents in once-white suits, looked to have been mauled by the vamps, while the dead vampires had holes blasted through them and were covered in green-tinged burns. Dean kicked one, trying to make sure it was actually dead. Yep, dead vamp, the whole place unfortunately smelled like it too. 

Sam had found one of the more physically intact agents with a large bazooka-like weapon next to him at the back of the hallway. Rummaging through the agency's pocket’s Sam tossed the ID card over for Dean to read over, while Sam picked up the weapon. 

Dean flipped open the wallet, and huffed when the agent was only referred to by a letter and position. No personal information whatsoever. 

“This asshole is apparently ‘Agent B, senior heavy weapon specialist of the Ghost Investigation Ward’, which means shit to me,” Dean complained. 

“‘Ghost Investigation Ward’? Is that supposed to be some sort of knockoff hunter’s group? Because points for vampire killing, less points for dying,” Sam added. “Either way, they were messing around with something supernatural, and had weapons that could blast straight through a vampire. Think we could find something here?”

Dean shrugged, “I’m down to take their weapons at the least. New tactics are always appreciated.”

Sam took the bazooka, and Dean picked up any other weapons of interest, from weighted nets, to more guns, storing them in piles to collect and ferry to the car later. The ID got them access to a couple more rooms, including a security camera and file room, which Sam said he was going back to later. The deeper they descended into the base, the more spaced out the bodies were, and the more violently the agents had seemed to fight, like they were protecting something. 

“Do you think they actually managed to catch a ghost here?” Sam tossed out. 

Dean snorted, “Doubt it. Sure, you can blast a hole through a vamp, but you can’t blast a hole through a ghost. Just trapping one is a pain, let alone moving it to the middle of bumfuck nowhere, Illinois.” 

Hydraulic doors hissed as the brothers entered the next level, only to pause from the sudden change in pattern. This one opened up into a laboratory, partitioned off by thick glass walls, rather than the collection of offices and storage the upper floors had been.  

Dean’s eyes narrowed at the carnage inside the laboratories. 

“What the hell were they taking apart that bleed fucking green?” Dean cursed.

Dean completely ignored the bodies of who he assumed had been the scientists. There were tons of vials of various liquids, most of them being that same saturated, radioactive green. There were also jars, lots of jars, of what he assumed were the bits and pieces of whatever creature bled green. 

“Doesn’t look like whatever they were dissecting was dead while they were taking apart,” Sam commented, pointing out the restraints on the bloodied autopsy table. 

“Fuck, that’s sick. At least kill whatever you're taking apart first.” 

Dean watched as Sam went over to a stack of papers, filing through them quickly with a grimace on his face.

 “Well, they seem to believe they caught a ghost, at least. They definitely caught something before the vampires wiped them out. The reports refer to it as Subject P-1.”

“Think it’s still here?” Dean asked. 

“Maybe. This report is a few days old, and we know the vampires attacked within that same time frame, so it’s possible that ‘P-1’ is either still here, dead here, or managed to escape in the crossfire,” Sam guessed.

“I suppose we’ll find out. We only got one more level to go.”

Dean left the lab, going down the elevator to the last level. There was nothing there, except for a singular glass cell with what looked like a blast door as its entrance, all shining with some sort of green energy. There seemed to be automated weapons and cameras all pointing at the cell, and Dean considered it a bit extreme. But also down there was the biggest collection of dead vampires they had found so far. 

The weapons in the room had obviously activated for whatever reason, considering the number of vampires with holes blown through them compared to the agents, of which there only seemed to be two, who looked more like they had also been caught in the crossfire of the weapons, rather than becoming vampire food like most of the guys upstairs.  

“Dean…” Sam shoved him, and pointed to the cell. There was…something inside. 

Dean walked over, shoving bodies out of the way with his foot to stand in front of the cell. The green… whatever it was, shone along the glass and hummed with energy, reminding Dean vaguely of an electrified fence. The inside of the cell was a mess but in a different way than outside. It reminded Dean of a few of the cells he had seen monsters hold people in before. It was dirty, and covered in blood, both red and that unknown green. There was no cot, or toilet, or any other sort of accommodation. 

The only thing in the cell was a small figure, dressed in nothing but tattered scrubs, and covered in its own blood balled up in the corner, head between its legs. Dean could only make out pale, emancipated legs and feet, and a mess of matted, black hair. 

“Is it alive?” Dean asked, tapping on the glass, which surprisingly didn’t zapped him.

Sam had a grimace on his face. “I…think.”

“Hey!” Dean shouted. 

No reaction. 

Dean pounded more heavily on the glass with his fist, “Hey! Are you alive?”

No reaction. 

“Are you P-1?” Sam asked instead. 

This got a reaction. The figure picked up their head, placing empty, hollow, and frighteningly blue eyes on Sam. They seemed to be a young boy, face pale and thin, deep bags under his eyes. His eyes were glassy and distant, looking through Sam rather than at him. 

“Well, that’s unnerving,” Dean muttered, giving Sam a look before shoving his shoulder. “Tell him to do something else.”

Sam frowned, thinking for a moment before saying anything. “P-1, state your status,” Sam commanded. 

The boy, P-1, remained silent.

“I don’t think it talks, Sammy,” Dean snorted. 

Sam sputtered indignantly. “What do you want me to do then? We know he’s P-1 now, and that he’s still somehow alive.”

“Well, we know he ain’t human, and that he’s whatever these goons have been picking apart. No clue what he is, but in that state, I doubt he can do much. The lights are one but no one seems to be home, Sammy,” Dean said. 

It was a harsh suggestion but, “We could just put him down and be done with it. The vamps are all dead, there’s nothing here except braindead P-1 over there.”

Sam, apparently, very much disagreed with that idea. “He’s a kid, Dean! And he’s been tortured for who knows how long. We’re not putting him down!”

Dean groaned. “Do you want to take him with us or something?!” Dean asked incredulously. 

Sam was silent, apparently thinking over the idea like it was a legitimate suggestion. 

“No,” Dean immediately denied. “Nope, no way, Sammy. We’re not adopting whatever-the-fuck that kid is. He’s not a dog. We have no idea what he’s capable of, let alone if he’s dangerous!” 

 “Then we keep an eye on him! You said it yourself, in that state, I doubt he can barely move. We could even put him in Bobby’s panic room if he acts up, but honestly,” Sam glanced over to the boy, “I doubt he would even notice.”

Dean hated the idea. He didn’t want the kid to potentially go ballistic, and there had to be some reason he was locked up in the first place. But he couldn’t think of any other reasons to leave the kid there. If anything, they could figure out what the kid was so that they knew how to defeat anything like him in the future. 

“Fine!” Dean relented. “But you’re taking care of him.”

Sam seemed to untense and turned back to the boy. “P-1, move to the door,” he ordered, before more quietly adding, “We’re getting you out of here, kid.”

The boy stood up, swaying on his legs, before approaching the door, standing just outside of it. Dean watched as Sam fidgeted with the door, before eventually having to pull another ID from one of the nearby agents to get the door open. Sam led the kid out, who didn’t have much of a reaction at all. Dean frowned at how small the kid was, now that he could get a better estimate literally standing next to him. He couldn’t be older than 12. 

“Okay, we’re leaving. We got some cool things and you’ve adopted a weird kid. We can confirm the vampires all died here too. Anything else we need to grab before we go back?” Dean huffed. 

“I’m going to see what I can pull from the record room on the way back. Could you take him back to the car?” Sam asked. 

Dean looked at the kid again. Yep. No one home at all. He doubted the kid even knew what was going on. At least he wouldn’t complain about Dean’s music choices. 

“Fine, but you take too long and I’m leaving your ass here,” Dean stated. “Come-on, P-1.”

Dean took the elevator back up the entrance, still careful to check around if they had missed anything still-alive, only to have silence. The kid barely made any noise as he moved, Dean decided he didn’t like that after the third time he jumped at the kid standing directly behind him. 

“I’m getting you a bell,” he grumbled. 

Back at the car, Dean tossed his looted weapons into the trunk, glancing at the kid before rummaging into his and Sam’s duffles for some spare clothes. It looked really suspicious to have a bloodied kid in a medical gown walking around. It would be oversized, but Dean grabbed a flannel, jeans, and a belt. Bobby would probably have something from when he and Sam were that small. 

“Hey, kid, P-1, put these on,” Dean held the clothes out to the kid, who didn’t react. 

Dean groaned. “Oh come on! This is why Sam’s your caretaker. I don’t know how to dress a kid!” 

Dean approached. “Gotta fucking command him like a dog,” he muttered. “P-1, arms up.”

The boy raised his arms, and Dean untied the medical gown letting it fall to the ground. Dean froze, bile building in the back of his throat, fighting the urge to throw up. Images of the jars and vials passed behind his eyes. No wonder the kid was mentally gone, Dean couldn’t see anyone surviving, let alone living long enough to walk out.

God, they needed to get the kid to Bobby. 

[timesorceror]

So I started this rec list sometime in mid to late 2024 after listening to @thisweekinfandomhistory's episode on the Crack Van, where one of the hosts commented (and I'm most definitely probably paraphrasing here) about how rec lists are something of a lost art.

This, combined with my burning desire to write a primer on Dreamling (in the hopes it could perhaps one day get covered on the pod) was what pushed me to start going through my 30-something pages of bookmarks (of which those occupy slightly more than a third of my total pages of bookmarks) and start categorizing them in preparation for this list.

Sorry about all the parentheses; I've very likely got some rather loud undiagnosed ADHD and cannot for the life of me keep my brain from interjecting with every single bit of information, relevant or otherwise. But, I digress.

There are ten posts included in this monster of a fic rec masterpost, and they are divided between Oneshots, Multi-Chaptered Fics, and Series. The reason for the divide is simple: Tumblr only allows 100 inline links per post, as I also learned from listening to the lovely ladies of the This Week in Fandom History Podcast.

The rec list posts are below the cut, along with a link to my masterpost Google Doc, an explanation as to the method behind my madness, among other things.

There will likely not be any more posts added to this, given the nature of how Tumblr posts work, but as I am still in the middle of my second run-though of the Dreamling ship tag's entire body of completed works, I will continue to update this Google Doc as I go (and whenever I comb through my Marked for Later tab and go through fics that are still there as well) that you may view at your leisure.

Note: this Google Doc is my personal fic rec list, and is not the be-all, end-all of Dreamling fics, despite how expansive it is. If there is a fic I have not added, it's very likely I did not read it because of a tag I'm not into (like Hurt No Comfort), or I read it and didn't bookmark it because I felt like I wasn't going to read it more than once. Or any other number of reasons, such as incomplete fics, which I rarely read these days unless it's a tag that I absolutely go feral for.

So don't DM me asking to add specific fics, please. Thanks. :)

I would like to explain that the Google Doc uses the tab function to separate the Oneshots, Multi-Chaptered Fics, and Series, and within each tab, they are further divided using the outline function.

The way I chose to organize the Oneshots and Multi-Chaptered fics was to start by thinking of this rec list as sort of like a menu at a restaurant by picking a main tag that I feel is the focus of the fic, and then further organize them by a sub-catagory tag (for example, I have Moorishflower's fic, Radio Silence, under the broad umbrella of 'Alternate Universe Oneshots' which is further organized under the sub-catagory, 'Post-Apocalyse AU'). Mostly I tried to follow this method by selecting two tags from the tag list of the fic, however not all fics I wanted to include HAD enough tags to use, or they had a bunch of hyper-specific, talk-commentary tags that I felt were not very compatible with the system I had worked out. So there are a few fics that I had to categorize or sub-catagorize simply based on vibes.

Hopefully, that explanation was sufficient, and I know that – given the current state of the fandom in regards to NG – some of these fics may one day become orphaned or be taken down. Unfortunately there is little I can do about that other than to encourage you to download any of the fics you enjoy so that you may continue to enjoy them if they disappear.

The purpose of this undertaking was more to challenge myself (and my patience) to see if I still had what it took to make a proper rec list and also to truly get a sense of Dreamling's major themes, tropes, and common tags so that I could list them out in the primer I still want to write for TWIFH.

That's... pretty much why this exists, though along the way, I was moved to finish this project for the sake of creating a snapshot of this particular ship's fandom at this particular moment in time. Whether or not it lasts remains to be seen, but I'm glad to have done it, and I hope that any fandom historians, as well as current and future fans of Dreamling appreciate my efforts.

I would also like to give a special shout-out to the @mr-sadman Discord, which also has a fic library of at least some of the listed fics for the occasions when AO3 goes down for whatever reason, as a good chunk of Dreamling authors and artists tend to congregate there and are all a bunch of lovely and wonderfully derranged people who have supported me in this endeavor.

So please, enjoy. Go forth and read fic.

All my love, TimeSorceror

Hi there! Do you have any tips on how to write a secret society? Whether it's a good or evil society?

Writing Sauce for Secret Societies

Secret (Hidden) vs. Secretive/Classified

An important distinction to make while writing exclusive societies is the extent to which they shirk the eyes of the public and/or government:

“Secret” or “Hidden” societies push their existence under the rug. No one but the members know of their activities at all. (e.g. Camp Half-Blood from the Percy Jackson series, the wizarding society of the Harry Potter series)

“Secretive” or “classified” societies exist publicly with a clear purpose. However, the specifics of their activities are only disclosed to his members. (e.g. the CIA, higher-ranked military organizations)

While secret societies are often illegal, rebellious, or anarchist, secretive societies are legal and institutional. 

Here are some other elements that I think a secret society requires. The specifics of how these are implemented will depend on the size of your society. 

The Origin Story 

What is the society’s motto? Who created it? Why do the members/the public need it? 

A goddess creates a secret society of demigods to protect them from monsters. 

A professor creates a secret society to teach illegal materials to his best students. 

A society of the undead striving for survival on Earth after the

Membership Requirements & Rules

How many newbies? How are they recruited? Any consequences if prospective members fail? Any initiation practices? Consequences for breaking the rules? 

Inheriting a particular bloodline: demigods, half-angels/demons, royal blood, etc. 

Becoming a supernatural creature: vampire, zombie, werewolf, etc. 

A rigorous interview/testing process (could be similar to a job interview)

Sending prospective members on a dangerous mission 

Existing members paying prospective members a visit in the middle of the night

Sending out dream messages and instructions for initiation constantly until potential members are obliged to come.

The Cover-Up Story 

How does your society keep itself hidden? How do they cover up for their mistakes if classified information leaks out? 

Killing any witnesses and outsiders. 

Exerting control over media/news/government organizations (either back-door or legally)

Using a magical cover: memory-redaction, mist/veil that manipulates appearances, etc. 

The power bestowed by the society upon their members are immediately withdrawn upon excommunication or if they break rules 

The cover-up story has to be stronger for larger, ancient secret societies to make it plausible that they’ve managed to survive hidden. Think of strong mechanisms that makes it the members’ own interests to keep the society protected, even though it may cost them their life. 

Funding and Maintenance

Where does the society get its money/weapons/materials from? 

Generational wealth that the members’ family possess. 

Secret governmental/university funding, obtained under someone else’s name

Having members who are placed in high-ranking position in companies, banks, the government, etc. 

Could be as simple as a trust fund/endowment fund run under a fake name (e.g paper company, a fake family name that is handed down from one society leader to another) 

Hope this helps!

CLOSET PUN needs Beta Readers!

Closet Pun is a paranormal YA fantasy with romance and mystery elements, but is mainly an ensemble piece following a number of queer characters. The books is made up of 6 short stories (3k-5k words range) and a novella of 58k words.

BLURB: Up on that totally normal-looking hill over there sits a house; Fay-Parker Hall. In that house, headmistress Rebecca Faulkner tries to teach her students to get their abilities (and their emotions) in check. We’ve got vampires, werewolves, witches, and more - this much chaos in one home is not in fact a recipe for disaster. It’s a recipe for the gayest student body around. And when a mysterious entity appears on the school grounds, it's time to play amateur detective.

Hello hello! I’m looking for beta readers for Closet Pun! I’m looking for general feedback on plot/characters/setting, very story-based more than prose/style based!

I am also looking for sensitivity readers!

I'm looking for any feedback on the following:

Portrayal of trans characters (preferably from trans women as that's what the character is but feedback from any trans readers would be helpful)

Asian American representation (Korean and Thai specifically)

Portrayal of Black queer characters (gay man and a lesbian)

This beta will run from ~beginning of March to the end of May, but there is wiggle room! I have details about this on the form, so if the timeline is a limit for you but you’d still like to take part, please let me know. I’m running on no deadlines here but my own, so I’m flexible!

I am offering beta reading in exchange! Any WIP up to 100k words is fine, so if you’re looking for beta readers in the future, let me know!

Important links:

The Need to be Seen

(6/? part of “Astarion: In Search of True Self” — [masterpost here])

One of Astarion’s deepest longings, woven through all his fears and defenses, is the need to be seen. Not as a monster. Not as a tool. Not as an object of desire. Just seen. As he is.

And when he finally meets someone who is patient, kind and genuinely trying to understand him, he takes a leap of faith and begins to unravel - step by step - hoping that they’ll stay. Isn’t that incredibly brave?

The mirror scene, his confession - another subtle way of revealing the weakness and asking: “Will you still stay if I’m a mess?” “If I don’t shine and sparkle, will I still matter to you?”

He is afraid that if they see all the wounds and weaknesses behind, they will turn away and leave. Maybe that’s why he decides to find out - better sooner than later. 

It is really amazing how vulnerable Astarion is with Tav and many signs are showing that it is limited to them only: for example, when you test your love in the Circus he gets anxious and irritated if you share to much of his personal information, like "yeah, true but not in front of a random stranger!"

And his vulnerability seems reserved only for Tav (I haven't played as Durge yet). In the Circus test, for example, if you reveal too much about him, he immediately gets irritated - "Yes, that’s true, but not in front of a random stranger!"

There are dialogues in the early game when Astarion openly shares facts about his past, but he does it with a challenging attitude, like, "yeah, it was like that, so what you gonna do about it?" - almost like testing Tav's limits. "Will they still keep being kind to me if they know this? What about now?" - actually, that's what children with a traumatic background often do; they tend to misbehave and push boundaries to see if that adult really is safe or they can hurt them if provoked. (Maybe adults might react similarly, too, but personally, I am only familiar with this trauma response in children.)

Even in early dialogues, when he shares pieces of his past, he often does so with a defiant tone. “Yes, it was like that - what of it?” Like he’s daring Tav to flinch. "Will they still be kind to me if they know this? What about now?" It reminds me of how some children with trauma test the adults around them, pushing limits to see if someone is truly safe.

Astarion’s longing to be seen also reveals another fear: being seen as less than he pretends to be. All the performance - the charm, the wit, the sensuality - is his armour hiding underneath someone who has been terrified and out of control for two hundred years. And if someone notices that, he might find himself abandoned or fallen into the hands of those in power yet again.

And this is why, I believe, he seems to look down on those he perceives as weak: those in need and suffering. Even others who share his fate as vampire spawn. Because looking at them is like looking in a mirror he can’t bear. He is afraid to see himself in them, to feel less again, feel powerless. And that others will see him that way, too. That Tav will see him that way.

And if he sees himself in them, he risks crumbling. So the mask stays on. That resentment of perceived weakness isn’t about cruelty - it’s fear in disguise, desperate denial of his past victimhood. Because if he lets himself empathize, even a little, the dam might break. Then he’s no longer the charming predator, no longer in control. He’s the boy on the floor of Cazador’s dungeon again. And he can’t let that happen.

And that’s probably what happened when he met his siblings - other six vampire spawns (and other victims in the dungeon later). Before, Astarion had brushed off Tav’s concerns about facing them and his past again, but he didn’t take it well in the end - he couldn’t put himself on the same level with them, it was too much to bear, so he just put another wall between them instead.

But even if he starts distancing himself, obsessed with the Rite, the longing remains. And if Tav keeps reaching, gently, patiently, he still hears them. Because deep down in his heart, like a guiding star, these words live:

"I can be better than him."

Court Me, Love, And Make It Count (The Codfather's Court AU) Masterpost

}{ main ships: fwhimmy, jimpix, flower husbands, scwhip, whatever fwhip/pix is called, scosage

}{ side ships: gempearl, jizzie, shadowrot, actually the whole entire mess that is the fairy fort group, falseren, whatever lizzie/false and lizzie/avid are called, one-sided jornoth

}{ warnings: threats, violence, imprisonment, implied consensual non-consent, blood, unhealthy relationship dynamics, power imbalance, more to be added later.

Every ruler knows about the Ocean Empire. It's ancient, powerful, mysterious, and...well, that's about all they know, really. The Ocean Queen rarely shows herself outside her empire, and the King makes an appearance even less often. It's a dangerous and vengeful empire too, or so Mythland and the other kingdoms have heard from the salmon-led mer who sometimes seek supplies and shelter from inland kingdoms.

That's why fWhip doesn't really care when Sausage pesters him for weapons that then get passed on to the salmon. He doesn't really care about much if it's outside the borders of the Grimlands anyway, and Sausage is an ally, so he trusts his decisions. (Besides, he's busy occasionally pestering the skinny little mer who seems to be in charge of running the swamp.) There comes a day, though, when he learns the hard way that neutrality is not always the safe choice: the Ocean Empire has realized that Grimlands tech is at the heart of many salmon weapons, and a furious empress demands the Count be brought directly to her.

The Codfather gives him a choice: he can face the Ocean Queen's wrath and drown, or join his court as a concubine and live. fWhip doesn't know what to make of the mysterious oceanic god, but he knows he wants to live, and so makes a choice that will send unforseen ripples through the fates of the empires.

TDWT supernatural au part 5

Masterpost

Just a fair warning, this'll be the last light-hearted one for a while- just like how London was a catalyst for plot lines in cannon it will be in this one. Between the same people coincidentally- well, not Duncan since he doesn't come back to the show in this.

Back to the supernatural shenanigans!

They are told that each team has to collect an item chosen at random- a treasure hunt! They have 6 days to complete it so the quicker it's done, the more time they have to relax.

Chris and Chef spend most of their time site seeing, it's like those dramatic cutscenes. The teens are fighting for their lives and doing random tasks then the camera cuts to Chris and Chef arguing over which pair of matching shirts they should buy.

Team Amazon - take a photo with the river mumma's golden table

River mumma is kind of like a river mermaid for all rivers and lakes in Jamaica.

Gwen unintentionally leads them to a burial ground, they hear a groan, then they all scream and leg it, stumbling into a river.

They meet the river mumma and she tells them she will grant them access to the table if they either beat her in a fight or clean the river. They choose to clean the river of all the trash and pollution.

Sierra weaves nets out of the surrounding materials to help them fish out the objects.

Heather uses the demon to move heavier objects and it just starts eating the trash. Cody becomes in charge of feeding it.

"HEATHER," Cody yelled

"WHAT" Heather yelled back

"YOUR DEMON IS FULL OF TRASH!"

"..."

"..."

"SHUT UP TWERP"

Courtney and Gwen work together to get supplies from the shops to set the river's pH back to normal.

"these should work" Courtney said as they walked back to the river with the bags.

"wow, you're so smart Courtney!" Gwen genuinely complemented.

"thank you, so are you" she smiled back, blushing slightly.

They succeed and get shown the golden table, taking the photo.

They finish in the late afternoon of day 2.

Team Victory - bag of wisdom

They have to chase down Anansi for the bag of wisdom. Anansi is a trickster that usually takes the form like a spider.

DJ is used to track Anansi down but he keeps on evading them all over and over again.

"am I just your tracking dog?" DJ joked

"hush and sniff him out" leshawna joked back, getting laughs out of the other two.

Leshawna then notices that he cannot climb trees properly.

Lindsay comes up with the plan, she Leshawna and DJ chase Anansi up a tree where Tyler will hide.

It ends up a tug of war between Anansi and Tyler. Due to his insane finger strength, Tyler wins.

"EEEEEEEEK, that was so, so, so cool Ty!!!!" Lindsay exclaimed, hugging him tight then kissing him.

"Not too bad skinny boy" Leshawna complemented.

"Dude, that was pretty awesome. Remind me to never go against you in a thumb war" DJ ruffled his hair.

Turns out the bag was empty all along, it was a trick

They finish in the very first minute of day 3.

Team Chris - Skin of Ol' Higue

Ol' Higue is a form of vampire that takes the form of an old woman during the day that strips off it's skin during the night, putting it in a mortar, and flying around as a fiery orb to sneak into houses and feast.

They reach the town and ask around the locals for information.

"I thought you knew everything about the supernatural mi cerebrito" Alejandro jabbed when 'Noah' suggested it.

"don't be silly sweetheart," she returned condescendingly. "of course I do. But each region has different versions of the same folklore, who's to say what works cities over would work here. And here I thought being older makes you more wise."

"oooooooooo." Izzy and Owen interjected.

"Alright mi amor, I'll bite" he winked then started to make his way over to a group of locals.

"I'm sure you will Edward" she rolled her eyes, following after.

It's Owen who gets the most information.

To identify Ol' Higue they have to spill rice grains outside the house they're staying at for the night as Ol' Higue can't resist picking them up. Then they have to steal the skin while it's separated and salt it so Ol' Higue cannot bind to it.

'Noah' tells Owen off multiple times and even has Izzy restrain him because he keeps trying to eat the stupid rice grains.

They end up finding Ol' Higue, and Alejandro takes to following it back to its lair and comes back for the late afternoon.

They set their plan off at 10:30 pm.

Owen is the bait and Izzy stays as protection in case things go wrong. Alejandro and 'Noah' sneak into Ol' Higue's lair to salt and steal the skin.

They all race back to where Chris and Chef are, making it back for the early morning of day 2.

They win the challenge.

The days off!

Courtney and Gwen still get super close during this time and there's definitely blossoming feelings on both sides. Courtney is questioning her identity because she thought she liked guys, liked Duncan. She was devastated when they broke up in Egypt before he left but now she barely even thinks of him.

Leshawna and Heather spend the time gossiping plotting.

Eventually, at some point, they all take the chance to subtly interrogate Izzy- their primary suspect for the Fae.

They were all sitting around a campfire- Owen, Tyler, DJ and Lindsay were sharing a log, Leshawna, Heather, Alejandro and Cody had stolen the camp chairs. 'Noah' and Sierra were sitting on stools, the latter was between Cody and Heather and the former was next to Alejandro and had Izzy sitting on the ground, using her legs as back support as she combed through the wild hair. Gwen and Courtney were huddled together on the floor on 'Noah's' other side.

"so, Izzy, you mentioned already knowing about the supernatural world, how much do you actually know?" Sierra initiated, putting on her metaphorical reporter hat.

"Oh! Oh! I know like a looooot, not as much as Noah though! She reads a ton so she's usually me and Eva's supernatural dictionary!"

"I see" Alejandro commented, glancing at the girl.

"Can we ask you about it then?" Gwen asked.

"Sure! Though I might have a little fun with it" she grinned and in the firelight her teeth looked a little sharp.

'Noah' hit the top of her head. "of course you will, you lie as easily as you tell the truth, it's literally impossible for anyone to tell whether you're being serious or not at this point you chaos gremlin" she rolled her eyes. It gave most of them flashbacks to season 1 Izzy.

Izzy cackled.

"So what do you know about the Fae? Do you know who it is?" Courtney, once again, started the official questions off.

"Hmmmmm, where's the fun in that! I might, I might not. I could know them reaaaaaaally well like.... As well as I know myself... or it could be a complete stranger I've never met! Next question" it was obvious deflection, or she was just playing with them, causing minor chaos as usual.

Suspicious, Tyler cut straight to the point, narrowing his eyes. "are you the Fae?"

"if I say I am will you let me have you?" her head tilted as she response, earning 'Noah' batting at it for ruining her braid until she straightened back up, laughing again.

"No!" Lindsay cut in clinging to his arm and pouting. "Ty-Ty's like totally mine and nothing is allowed to take him from me! Gabby literally told me!"

"Awwww, babe!" Tyler cooed back.

"Booooo" Izzy interjected the love fest.

"I could've sworn you've given your name to some of the interns before? What if they were the Faerie?" DJ asked, changing tactics and not so subtly fishing for her to admit that it was because she was the Faerie.

"don't worry, no other Fae or any type of beings can take my name from me! I'm too invincible!"

"what, why?" Then it clicked and Heather groaned in irritation. "Wait, no, let me guess, Izzy isn't actually your real name is it and it's just a nickname like with Noah?" She already sounded fed up.

"B-I-N-G-O, wow, you'd make a super detective!"

"are you going to give us your real name or are you going to be cagey about it like Noah then?" Cody attempted to joke.

'Noah' glared at him and it looked like she was going to say something in response when her attention was caught by her current hair client going still.

'Izzy' was just staring at him unblinkingly, the atmosphere suddenly plummeted and her expression was blank and cold.

"We didn't give you a warning after last time so I'll be nice and correct that. I'm only going to say this once. It is incredibly rude to ask for a real name. You say that to the wrong being and they will kill you for it. Every creature with a name can be collared by it and I assure you they will not only be insulted by being asked that -no matter your intentions- but if you were to be successful then that creature will do everything it can to ensure your living days are torturous before your ultimate demise. A lot of them are essentially immortal after all and all but one of you are still only mortals." She swept her hand across all the teens in front of her, very clearly missing Alejandro out. "That is not a battle you could even dream of winning so do not try to take what does not belong to you."

Almost instantly, she frighteningly switched back up to her usual cheery self like nothing happened.

"C'mon Noah! I saw Cheffy and Chris-Chris standing near the cliffs edge, how hard do you think it'd be to scare them into falling off???"

"knowing you, little miss dramatic, not very hard" with that 'Izzy' got up, grabbed her wrist and started to make her way to the cliff. They are stopped when a voice interrupts, addressing 'Noah'.

"mi amigo, you know you don't have to follow her if you don't want to." Alejandro adds, his eyebrows furrowed. Everybody else watched the exchange, it was basically common knowledge at this point that 'Izzy' and 'Noah' were rarely without each other which would be somewhat normal considering they're sisters. However, with their recent theory, the implications were....concerning.

"what can I say, she's never boring." She chuckled, allowing herself to be dragged away looking fondly resigned to her sister's antics. Alejandro blinked then smiled in a way that could either be incredibly fake or smug.

"awww, is there trouble in paradise between mommy and daddy." Heather commented.

"what?" Cody questioned, everyone including Alejandro looking confused.

"oh please like you haven't noticed, the two of them are basically the parents of the team, wrangling the kids- Izzy and Owen." Heather explained.

"....she's not wrong" DJ admits.

"Does this mean I should start calling Al daddy?" Owen asks.

"you just had to make it weird." Gwen cringed.

"Owen, mi amigo, do not, ever" the conversation stilted in awkwardness after that.

"... So we're all in agreement that the crazy girl is probably the Fae and owns little miss snarky?" Leshawna breaks the silence.

It was an unanimous agreement. Even Owen looked a little put out.

"how much do you want to bet that she insulted her and that's why?" Gwen whispered to Courtney.

"I'm not taking that bet" she giggled back.

What the majority of the cast are aware of so far:

DJ- werewolf

Leshawna- human

Lindsay- guardian angel

Tyler- human

Alejandro- vampire

Owen- human

'Izzy'- Fae?

'Noah'- human

Courtney- human

Gwen- human

Cody- human

Heather- demon contract

Sierra- human

Chris- Djinn blood

Chef- human

Just a small reminder that question marks only mean not confirmed by the person themselves, like with Alejandro in the first post.

Once again, any theories or thoughts then please spill!

The next two 'episodes' should be the last of the reveals on how many of the contestants are part of the supernatural! And is also when it gets darker...

1. All Things That Are Seen and Unseen by starsickness [E, 23k]

Soon after being bitten on an auror mission, Harry secludes himself to a mountainside cabin, where he is harmless and free to transform. In the days after his first full moon, he finds that his cabin is one of a pair, and an identical home sits parallel to his, nestled across the lake. Strangely enough, he was never informed of a neighbor. Even stranger, his neighbor happens to be Draco Malfoy, who is nothing at all like Harry remembers him.

2. Death is my Reward by Anonymous [E, 8k]

Draco studied for countless nights to summon a demon willing to do his bidding. Instead, he became bound to Harry, an incubus that fell in love with him at first sight.

3. i, carrion by @moonsandroses [M, 4k]

With Voldemort having been defeated, the world has returned to normality once again. Except from one thing; Harry's insatiate desire to eat Draco's flesh grows stronger by the day. Even after everything, there is a war yet to be won.

4. Marmalade Skies / Jammy Clouds by Anonymous [M, 18k]

Draco faltered, deliberating over whether or not to tell Potter the truth. Potter would no doubt hex him into a million pieces if Draco told him he possessed an insatiable urge to sink his teeth into Potter’s neck, to never let him out his sight. Could he tell Potter that he felt like he might die within a matter of days if he didn’t possess him? Didn’t own him?

5. A mouth so sweet, so poisonous by @springairs [E, 5k]

The taste of Draco’s girlfriend’s blood is something she can’t get enough of. Said girlfriend being her long-time enemy and admittedly, embarrassingly long-time crush Harry Potter only seems to amplify the pleasure of drinking from her. So when Harry groans awake one morning, curling in on herself, and the metallic tang of her blood drifts up Draco’s nostrils, she thinks she has the perfect solution to help her lover deal with the pain. After all, when you’re a vampire, you’ll take all the blood you can get.

6. Son of Melpomene by Anonymous [T, 24k]

Melpomene, one of the nine Greek muses, patron of chorus and tragedy, mother of sirens. One such child, Draco Malfoy, a siren of the deep sea kingdom meets Harry Potter, the mermaid prince of the reef kingdom. So similar and yet so different, what fate awaits their counterparts? Perhaps, to sing and celebrate is all one can do in the face of tragedy.

[BSD Absurdism Masterpost]

So, I was mostly correct in my speculations from last month's chapter! I'm really proud of this, though I will admit that my theory wasn't a complete match to what ended up happening

I assumed that Fyodor took on the guard's lifeforce, but it was Bram who he body-swapped with, which makes for a much for interesting (and higher stakes) situation.

Admittedly, this post is going to be a bit less analysis and more me sharing my thoughts and questions, because not much has changed from what I said last month: Fyodor being practically unkillable is the ultimate absurdity for him as a villain -- how do you defeat a literally immortal super genius?

It's just made even worse now by the fact that it is Bram's body who he's "subsuming." It puts considerable distance between himself (now in Japan) and Dazai (in France), who is the only human being capable of killing him due to his nullification. This is deeply ironic in that Dazai was so goddamn close to killing Fyodor, if only he had delivered the final blow himself, he would have succeeded. That's dramatic irony for ya!

The ultimate absurdity lies within the fact that Dazai was so close to victory the entire time; Fyodor was in genuine danger throughout the whole prison break thing (because either poison or Dazai could have actually killed him), but one lapse in judgement has now left Dazai relatively powerless.

There is also absurdity in the fact that Fukuawa, Fukuchi, Aya, and Teruko are basically incapable of stopping Fyodor not only from subsuming Bram's body, but from carrying out his plan with the tripolar singularity. They don't even have enough time to enact a last-ditch effort to stop him before he stabs Fukuchi.

Jumping back to the reveal of Fyodor's ability, this chapter has left me with some questions about Fyodor's plan:

Why allow Sigma to learn of this? I see no really good reason for why Fyodor didn't kill Sigma when given the chance. The only thing I can think of is that he wanted to distract Dazai, ultimately knowing that he would eventually go back for Sigma and try to figure out why he was passed out, killing some time. Still, this doesn't really make much sense to me, as killing Sigma would have done practically the same thing. Also, at that point, there's really no reason to distract Dazai, the deed has already been done. My only other idea is that he figured that once he was able to subsume Bram, it wouldn't matter if Dazai knew about his ability, so he allowed Sigma to obtain this information in order to let Dazai know of his loss. Still, this doesn't make any strategic sense in the way that keeping Dazai in the dark for as long as possible appears to be the optimal course of action.

Does Nikolai know about Fyodor's ability? If so, it would explain the usage of the poison in the prison break challenge, given that his ultimate goal is to kill Fyodor. It might also explain why he considers them to be "besties," because he's one of very few people who know the true nature of Fyodor's ability. This is complete speculation, though, as it could really go either way.

Did Fyodor know Chuuya was faking it the whole time? Because if not, I think Chuuya was his fallback plan. If he truly believed Chuuya to be a vampire controlled by Bram, then at any point he could have ordered him to kill him, but I think the only thing that stopped him from doing so was his desperation to have Dazai killed as the only person capable of actually taking his life. If he did indeed know Chuuya was just acting, though, I wonder if he had just thought far enough ahead to know how things would go and needed Chuuya to be present to get to that conclusion. I'm really curious as to how much of this plan was actual foresight and how much was improvisation.

As for the tripolar singularity... well I think we know where that leads, given that the anime gave us a little preview to future events.

I'll admit that the concept of the singularity is one of the things I least understand about the BSD lore/universe, but this certainly raises the stakes. I might be wrong about this, but aren't there theories that somehow Akutagawa and Atsushi's abilities combined are able to supersede singularities? In this way, they'd be the only hope against Tripolar Singularity Fukuchi (which I've got to assume works much like Arahabaki in that Fukuchi is not in control anymore).

We also now can now assume that Akutagawa (and assumedly anyone else who was turned into a vampire) becomes un-vampirified because Bram ceases to exist when Fyodor takes on his body, so this explains how we get to the above situation.

That's all I got for now! Please feel free to add to my analysis and discuss the questions I've asked, I love talking about this stuff with y'all! :)

Edit: Ok so of course almost immediately upon posting this I thought of more things to add in terms of how this all relates to absurdism. The concept of Fyodor being unable to die is not only absurd from the storytelling perspective of him being BSD's ultimate villain for so long, but also on a personal level for himself.

One of humanity's defining qualities is mortality -- the idea that we all die eventually, whether we like it or not. For Fyodor, this isn't true, though. His ability is a curse that traps him into living so long as people try to kill him. This further explains his ultimate motive of wanting to eliminate all abilities, probably because he recognizes many abilities to be curses and also that abilities have potential to be abused by those in power, whether for "right" or "wrong" reasons.

The irony in this is that Fyodor is doing just that, he has used his ability to remain alive far longer than he should have, and is thus able to carry out his plans. Yes, he believes what he is doing is for the good of humanity, but as the reader, we also know that this is not his decision to make. He has become the very thing he's trying to fight! This can be seen as Fyodor giving into the absurdity of reality, rather than actually rebelling against it, which makes him the antagonist to our absurdist protagonists, who refuse to give in and continue to push back against life's absurdities.

Fyodor's problem (and I think I talked about this in the chapter where he "died") is that he wants to control the absurd reality, but that is just not possible. You can't control meaninglessness, all you can do is not become a part of it, which Fyodor fails to do in his effort to not do so. It's a complete paradox.

Hopefully what I'm saying here makes sense, I am currently running on like five hours of sleep (which not a lot for me) and black tea lol

Before they met,

He was the young man from her nightmares

She was a Princess in his dreams…

~ Dark ~

Story Description:

The year was 2022 when Karlheinz discovered a special young woman named Christine living in the United States. He formed a new plan. The Adam and Eve project is still not completed but it was going his way. Yui Komori made her choice and chose Ayato as her Adam. Both of them are madly in love.

When a new situation came to Karlheinz's attention, he saw Christine could be the key to solving what was about to come to the Demon World.

That summer he offers her a good salary pay to work as a housekeeper at the Mukami’s Mansion in Japan. The payment was too good to pass on. She accepts the job not knowing that they are vampires. She will find out and he made sure that escaping will cost the lives of her loved ones back home. Before he can go through this new plan, Christine needs to interact with the Mukami brothers, Yui, and his sons first.

Until then, He will let them all have their little fun. Till the time comes for his plan to be ready.

Blood from a special rose will be needed. 🩸

“I want you… near me… even if you end up… hating me… I will still want you… by my side…”

- Azusa. Quote from Chapter 3.

Art Cover Inspiration:

~ Hans Zatzka ~

I've been a fan of Hans Zatzka’s fantasy paintings since I was a little girl. I love the entire aesthetic of Nature, Fairies, Angels, Rivers, Flowers, Dresses, and Romance. He includes all these in his paintings.

Even though Azusa and Christine’s story is not a fantasy fairytale. I still wanted this inspiration for the cover because three weeks before Azusa met Christine. His dreams were in a world that looked like Hans Zatzka's Paintings. The dress that Christine is wearing on the art cover is the dress that she was always wearing when she appeared in Azusa’s dreams. It's also a dress that I chose from Zatzka's Paintings.

I chose this one because of the blue waist ribbon. This same exact shade of blue is Azusa’s color representation from Rejet.

So I used this as a hidden symbol that she is his. 🔪🌹

For him, I choose an official art by Rejet. I wanted an outfit to represent that he is a vampire.

These are the rest of Hans Zatzka's paintings' inspiration for the artwork cover. 🎨

A little Information:

Dark Route Setting will be in the Summer Season.

School Year Setting will be in Maniac and Ecstasy.

Why the year 2022?

That year I was in a Dark place mentally and was very depressed. Some of my dark issues, I wrote it through Christine. They say writing is a good way to heal. So part of this Fan Fiction story has been my healing process.

That's why I am so passionate about this ship. Christine and Azusa are my comfort characters. Both of them make me happy.

Writing Style:

Will be like the game routes.

Script Style.

Arts:

I will include artworks in some chapters.

I decided to add the artworks in Black and White to give it a little novel style. Once I complete publishing the full story, I will do a post with all the artworks I used for the story in color.

Where will it be published?

Tumblr and AO3.

Story:

Masterpost. 🔪🌹

Note:

I am new to writing. ✍️🏻

Since childhood, I've always been a reader, not a writer.

Writing has become my new favorite hobby. All thanks to Azusa and Christine who motivate me to try something new.

I've only been writing fan fiction and poems for almost two years now.

I do NOT want any suggestions on how to write. This is only FAN FICTION! Not a Publishing Book. So I will write my story how I please. I only do this to escape reality and for the love that I have for my ship.
