Hey! I apologise, but this event won't be running this year due to how stressful it was for me last year. Keep writing and keep creating.

[aftg-paranormal]

The final chapter of my @aftg-paranormal selkie andrew fic is up, so it is now complete!

Andrew is a selkie, controlled and trapped on land by his foster family. Neil, a human staying with the same family, finds Andrew’s selkie skin and puts it on. What Neil doesn’t know is that by doing so, he has freed Andrew and bound their souls in marriage

[aftg-paranormal]

Working to get the rest of this out by next Wednesday at the latest. Guaranteed chapters posted again today and another tomorrow.

My submission for the @aftg-paranormal fest 2024 and I FORGOT TO POST IT YESTERDAY 😭😭😭

hello i forgot i existed but happy (belated) halloween

Neil Josten has scraped through life with more near-misses than he can count. By knives, by bullets, by an Exy racquet to the skull. By all counts, Neil Josten should have died years ago, and yet he did not. Death haunts Neil Josten, waiting and watching and following. He is living on borrowed time, but eventually the minute-hand of Life will meet the hour-hand of Death. ⁂ Aka Neil Josten’s life, as told from the perspective of his Death.

written for the @aftg-paranormal fest!

[aftg-paranormal]

When Andrew had taken up the job of soul collection after he died, he'd already accepted that he wasn't a part of the world of the living anymore. This wasn't new information to him. He was used to being unseen. There may have been a few points in time where he questioned that fact. Especially recently.

This is finished now <3

in case you wanted a good amount of fluff with no angst as a chaser for chapter 5, the epilogue is now added to the fic ^^

He looked over the words he had scrawled onto a scrap piece of paper, even though he knew them by heart: He will hear my call a mile away He can run faster than anyone else He’ll have hair like fire and eyes like ice He will be mean and kind at the same time He will be a liar but never lie to me He will always know what I mean even when i’m not saying anything He will never hurt me on purpose Andrew casts a not-love spell as a child, and he never expects to meet an impossible man who fits all his criteria almost 20 years later

Title from Dose No. 2 by The Maine

Happy Halloween!!

A little piece I did for @aftg-paranormal :D I decided to go with the Foxes girls doing some necromancy magic, in order for Allison to kind of have closure with Seth... I'm pretty happy with how the light turned out!

Chapter 5 is up! almost 9k for this one. (whoops) (well technically it was up last night but I don't bother making posts at 11:45 my time lmao)

final real chapter of this fic, but there will be an epilogue babyyyyy. (hopefully tonight. I'm trying my best.) ANYWAYS, uh. mind the beginning note, as this chapter is a bit heavier on the angst/violence/etc so if you're not into that. There's a hidden/spoilered trigger warning at the beginning of the chapter, in case you want to skip the worst of it.

•• ━━━━━ ••● x ●•• ━━━━━ •• 

continuing the fic for the @aftg-paranormal fest <3 (there will be 5 chapters total, plus an epilogue. all posted on Wednesdays this month. (epilogue will be posted on Halloween.))

might drown in these tides between us // AFTG (Selkie/Pirate AU)

Rating: Mature (canon typical violence, drinking and drug use, smut in later chapters, mentions of past abuse.) Fandom: AFTG/The Foxhole Court Pairings: MattNeil and Andreil (background: MattDan, Rennison, Allison/Seth, maybe I'll throw kevin in there idk the devil's been speaking to me.) pirates love sharing booty ok this ship's open relationships are vast Word Count: CHAPTER 1 (out of????) 3.7k {Read full chapter on AO3 and subscribe for future chapters!} Summary: Neil's spent too long running and hiding, too long lying and pretending, to ruin it all with a stupid bout of carelessness. He should run, but with one foot on land and the other in the sea and his skin pulling too tight wherever he goes, he's running out of options as his past gets closer to catching up to him. Or: The Selkie!Neil AU that got away from me. Written for the @aftg-paranormal event =3

“Crossbow!” Dan roars over the ringing canon fire.

“Not for long,” Allison throws back. She lunges over a sliding box and scoops up a rifle out of Renee’s hands. “Seth!” She shouldn’t’ve wasted the breath. He’s already sprinting across the deck and skidding between her and the railing.

She swings the barrel of the rifle onto his shoulder to steady and—between one breath and the next—they’re both deathly still on the rolling deck; Allison sighting her target high up in the other ship’s rigging.

Neil’s not sure his ears will ever stop ringing from the boom of cannons, the shouting, the clang of metal, the splintering of wood. But in that moment as he ducks behind the mast, he can somehow hear the exact moment Allison inhales slow and smooth, the catch as Seth doesn’t breathe at all, and fletching singing through air as an arrow skims scant centimeters from Allison’s cheek.

He watches the drop of blood fall to the deck, soaking in. 

She fires and the man tumbles down, scream stolen on the wind.

Seth cheers as Nicky whoops, hurling something at him. Neil doesn’t get a good look at what—Seth swings a cricket bat and sends it sailing across the space between their ships.

Another man falls.

It’s over fast after that, with a furiously waving white shirt and several of the crew swinging over onto the enemy deck.

Neil stays where he is, heart thumping fast but not from exertion. The boarding crew will handle what to take, who to spare. He’s content not to have a hand in it, distancing himself from the violence as much as he can. Instead focusing on keeping his head down and bringing Abby and Aaron bandages where needed, clumsily catching the hammer Andrew tosses at him to start temporary patching. He grimaces at the jarring of his thumb, but says nothing.

The work is becoming familiar, and there’s a certain surety in having a set role. Knowing what’s expected of him even if he hasn’t yet got a handle on all of it. He’s learning. Fast enough, if Kevin is only snapping at him that they’ll dump him on the nearest island, instead of actually doing it. They’ve passed two already this week, and Kevin has yet to make good on any threats.

He deftly coils up rope, and ties down a crate that’s come loose.

He climbs the rigging with a thick needle in his mouth to stitch up a rip in a sail. Almost-smiles at Nicky across the way, hanging down by his knees to catch a bulky spool of the waxed thread they use for repairs. Nicky smiles enough for both of them, laughing brightly at something Dan’s said, leveraging himself up to join him in his work.

Neil’s not forgiven him. Might not for a while yet. But he can accept the spool and cut off a length with the knife strapped to his chest before handing it back.

It’s all necessary, but tedious at the same time. A little less so with the chatter and cheers and ribbing floating around him. He’s happy enough letting it happen without him, sinking into the folds.

Familiarity is certain death. Familiarity breeds complacency—will make him docile as a calf to slaughter.

He clenches his hand against the trembling, forces a cough through the tight squeeze in his chest. Shakes his mother’s voice from his head.

Shakes Nicky’s eyes from him as he wipes his hand on his breeches, surprised at the smear of blood. He sticks his pricked finger into his mouth, ignoring the sting and the taste of grime, salt, and gunpowder ground into his skin.

That, too, is becoming familiar enough to not be worth his notice.

He’s not sure if it’s crashing waves or seabirds screaming in his ears.

Jean Moreau endured. It was what he did.

The Nest had been his home for years, pain being his most faithful friend. He had a single purpose to serve, a life decided for him before he was born and nothing could stray him from his path.

When the Ravens lost Zane and Colleen, the only thing he could do was endure. But as the lines of nightmare and reality began to blur, Jean fought to keep from drowning in his grief, slowly losing himself to the darkness that surrounded him.

His only solace was a boy who smiled like the sun.
