If you guys(Duskwood fandom, specifically) were having a great day, I'm here to ruin it with this-

Even if Jake manages to be free of his pursuers, it would require a great amount of time and effort to start living again normally. Why? Because Jake wasn't only forced into isolation, but he seems to quite like it that way too. So for him to be in a romantic relationship with MC and meeting Hannah and Lilly as their half-brother for the first time, it would be too much and really difficult. And I can't help but think that there will be ample of setbacks along the way.

He may even want to give up at times and return to his secluded lifestyle.

So if you were probably thinking 'oh once Jake's free from the government, he ain't going away ever' but oh, he might.

I mean it's all character development but it ain't gonna be easy...

(PS. Do NOT attack me lmao)

Hi, hope you're doing well. I wanted to suggest a one-shot where the mc had a bad day and starts crying and Jake cuddles her and comforts her.

Here you go. I hope you like it <3

(Requests for Duskwood one shots open!)

-

“Well, what do you want me to do now?” MC asked hopelessly. She felt tied and blindfolded with a million voices tormenting her in her head and not one of them would guide her to a path out of this situation.

Mike looked at her with the same helplessness. Mike was her assistance and right now, both of them were in trouble brought upon by MC's past negligence towards her job during Hannah's investigation.

At last, Mike sighed, “Right now, I think you should go home, okay? You are stressed and-”

“Going home wouldn't change the situation, Mike. We need to answer them.” MC cried out, browsing through the one month old documents she had spread around her desk. “Let's go over it again. May 4, a blond man came in to collect his revised documents. Now, I don't know if I was in the office that day. But he has the documents.”

Mike decided to entertain another round of revision on their end. “Yes, meaning you were present because no one but you could've have given him the documents.”

MC let out a sharp breath. “No one had come in for revision of documents since January. How could I have given him the wrong documents? I mean, there were no other documents I could've gotten confused with.”

Both of them were silent for another five minutes. Mike leaned on MC's desk. “See, this is getting no where. Look,” he straightened, “we'll just apologise, okay? If you feel your job is in trouble, I'll take it upon me. They can't fire me because that's partially your decision.”

Mike had proposed this idea when they had started this discussion and MC didn't fancy it any more than the first time. She didn't like putting blame on someone else. But she was lost. And that was unlike her. It was MC, she always had a way, a solution. That's why she founded Hannah without ever knowing her personally. That's why the group trusted her so much. She couldn't believe she was failing now.

“It's okay.” Mike said on seeing her doubtful frown. “I really don't mind. You should go home now. Rest. I'll take care of the rest.”

MC swallowed her abashment like a solid rock and thanked him with an apologetic smile.

-----

MC kicked off her shoes and stalked into her apartment that she shared with her boyfriend. The apartment was perfect for the two with a cute open kitchen, spacious living room, two bedrooms (one of which they turned into Jake's computer room) and an alluring balcony.

Usually, MC would greet Jake straight away in his computer room but right now she didn't have strength for anything but falling down on the couch. She felt like the biggest failure, tasting the beginning of her downfall.

She adjusted the pillow and stared outside a window at the grey sky. She hadn't bothered turning on the lights. Her head turned instinctly towards Jake's computer room, yellow light escaping from under the door.

Though she couldn't see him, she could feel his presence, feel how she was drawn to him. At last, she picked up her phone and texted him. Apparently she didn't feel good about seeking comfort either now.

MC: I'm home. I'm dying.

Jake was out of his room in an instant. “MC?” He called out in the dark living room, face towards the kitchen.

MC raised her leg from the couch. “Here.”

It hasn't been even a month of them living together but they were quite comfortable in their little apartment. All the time they were yet to spend with each other filled their minds with endless possibilities.

MC sat up as Jake approached her. Her eyes were already adjusted to the dark and she saw most of him in it. His black hair were hard to spot but his flawless skin wasn't. He wore a black tshirt which made MC stare at his arms longer than she intended.

When he was near enough, she began, “Your girlfriend is a failure and she might lose her job so now wouldn't be a bad time to tell her that you can steal money from ban—” Her eyes started to water with the words leaving her mouth.

Jake didn't let her finish her self-degrading speech. He put his hands around her- one around her shoulders and other one on her waist. He hoisted her up and sat on the couch with MC on his lap.

“Oh,” she let out. MC was yet to get used Jake's touch. She hadn't thought his love language would be physical touch which has turned out to be one of the best surprises about him.

MC pulled her head away from his shoulder to look at his face. Jake was already staring into her eyes with concern and softness.

“Three things.” He said seriously.

MC smiled, curious all at once. She was yet to witness this side of him.

“One, you are anything but a failure. The things you did to save Hannah aren't like the crosswords normal people solve in newspapers. It requires skills and training. You did it without training. That's how wonderful your mind is.” He spoke with conviction.

MC's smile widened. She loved how he picked out the heart of her doubt and threw it away.

“Do you understand?” He asked when MC didn't say anything. “I need you to believe it like I do.”

MC nodded, placing her palms on his shoulders. “Yes. I do.”

“Good.” He said. “Secondly, there is no shame in deciding to do something else. If you think you are going to lose your job then perhaps, the job isn't for you. Perhaps, you'll thrive in some other field.”

MC nodded, truly considering what he said. He could be right. “And third?”

“Third,” Jake said, “Yes.”

“What?” MC looked at him, confused.

“Yes, I can steal money from banks.” He said it with a straight face that made MC laugh.

Jake smiled softly seeing her laugh. He hadn't liked the way she looked wan and tired when he entered the living room.

“Now, do you want to tell me what happened or do you want to eat something first?” Jake asked.

“Both.” MC said. Jake didn't directly solve her problem but he gave her the strength to solve it herself. She wasn't going to let Mike lie and if they fired her, she'd move on. “But first,” MC said as she leaned down to kiss him.

A tenderness wafted between them. The slow pace of the kiss was like another reassurance for MC. She wrapped her hands around his neck. Jake titled his neck, drawing her body closer to him with his hands.

Slowly, they ended the kiss. But neither of them let go. They held each other quietly, feeling each other's warmth and increasing heart rate. MC's face buried in his neck as Jake caressed her hair and back with his hands. Slowly, they pulled away. Jake scanned her face for a final time before carrying her to the kitchen island as she sat down, venting about her bad day and he cooked her delicious food, listening to her.

“Do you want me to hack into this blond man's phone?”

MC laughed. “No, I'm gonna solve this one without any hacker intervention.”

But she knew she couldn't live a happy life without this hacker's intervention.

Jake: *Just sitting on the couch, using his laptop*

Enter everybody else speaking suspiciously loudly

MC: I know right! Sleep is so important to function well everyday.

Dan: Yes, I agree. People with good amount of sleep are more productive, you know. And I've heard their typing speed increases.

MC: *whispers* Dan, don't make it obvious!

Lilly: People actually should sleep 8 hours. I'm not saying that because science says it but you know, I've tried it myself. I feel like a better person.

MC: Good insight, Lilly.

Jake: Uhm...can I interrupt?

MC: Yeah, sure, honey. And what do you mean interrupt? We're just talking.

Jake: No, I mean your little skit. And honestly, appreciate the effort but it's not going to work.

MC: *smacks Dan* Told you to not make it obvious!

Jake: Well, not that I care in any way about Daniel but it's not really all his fault. I mean, I knew the moment you all walked in. Kind of awkward, talking unnecessarily loud and not to mention, the words looked prepared but still horrible delivery—

MC: Oh just sleep, goddamn it!

[ameliawarnerr]

DM(or ask) for Duskwood one shot ideas? Pretty please?

[ameliawarnerr]

Phil: Nobody wants you more than I do.

MC: *snorts* Yeah sure, Hawkins.

Phil: What's that supposed to mean?

Jake: That she doesn't believe you. But you better believe me when I say nobody wants you dead more than I do.

my toxic trait is that while I did not write The Cruel Prince, an insult to the book (and the series) seems like a personal attack to me

I meann

We've seen Cardan from Jude's pov. The viewpoint of the person he loves, and who loves him back. So it's totally valid that Oak doesn't know him very well and as intimately as jude (and the readers) do, and whatever conflict is between them could be very well one-sided.

Like yk, oak wants cardan to hate oak for some reason so he just assumes that he already does.

what if Cardan kind of despises Oak cause he’s the reason Jude decided to not have children of their own 👀

I'm gonna cryy nooo

This is sooooo—

I have no words to express how much this means to me. When I made that poetry page, it was mostly to showcase my work but to have someone be inspired by it? Inexpressible feeling.

“that life, one with her, isn't free

it costs more for her than im willing to sacrifice"

loved thissss. How well you put Jake's pain in those lines.

Sunshine on Her Skin on a Summer Day

She is a goddess in jeans and a white top

digging in the dirt,

planting new life,

nourishing the soil

her face lifts to bask in the warmth of the day

i watch her mud-smeared face being kissed by the sun

it is the way i want to kiss her

the way that i hope to kiss her when the time is right

i pay close attention to the glow that radiates off of her olive skin

it is the way that I dream of

enjoying all of her as she enjoys all of me

i dream of the moments

that will inevitably become a lifetime of collective memory

of images and shared emotions that cannot be extricated from our beings

i would lay down every last dollar,

every convenience,

my very life

to have a second to taste her

like the sunshine tastes her skin

that life, one with her, isn't free

and it costs more for her than I am willing to sacrifice

for now

i am not free to sit beside her in the sun

...or hold her hand on the crowded street

...or run my fingers through her sable hair

...or whisper in her ear all of the things that my heart wishes to say

So today, I stay in the shadow of the willow tree

and watch the wind tousle her hair

and bring color to her cheeks

and imagine the day when I can surround her

in my love

as the sun has the great honor of doing

@ameliawarnerr thanks for reminding me of the power of poetry.

[ameliawarnerr]

So I just realised that to post my duskwood fics on Wattpad, I'd have to make covers. I'm highly incompetent at that, but I can try. If only I knew where to begin.

Please tell me where I can make covers 😩

[ameliawarnerr]

(I'm delusional)
