i think strange and off-putting wylan is the best. you know how he is in those fanfictions where he just. stares. and creeps people out. in the inside, he's having ten different panic attacks, but on the outside it's all just big blue bambi eyes and an entirely unresponsive demeanor. things happen around him and he doesn't react. he doesn't move. he doesn't blink. he just stares. he's weird and there and that's it. jesper instantly needs him carnally and all he did was look at him blankly and ignore him from then on. nina finds him hilarious. matthias finds him a little weird but also the most normal person in the crows. inej gives him a knife to protect himself but he's already got a whole lot of bombs hidden in his little gay satchel that he's told no one about and will bring out in the middle of a random fight where he will romantically lock eyes with jesper and then blow up a bunch of people. kaz glares at him and wylan just looks back without flinching so kaz hires him because how the fuck??? how??

idk i just love off-putting wylan he's my favorite

Writing characters who don’t know they’re in love

(PS: but literally everyone else does and is so tired)

These characters aren’t clueless, no, they’re not walking around like, “love? never heard of her.” They know something’s going on, they just won’t admit it (not to themselves, not to anyone.) Maybe they’re scared of messing it up, or maybe they think the other person doesn’t feel the same. Maybe they’ve stuffed the feeling so deep even a NASA rover couldn’t dig it out.

Whatever the reason, they’re not avoiding the truth as much as they’re…rebranding it. Calling it “friendship” while giving each other their only jacket and dreaming about each other’s voices like it’s totally normal behavior.

ꕤ They don’t realize it’s love, but they notice everything else. They clock every mood shift, every absence, every little thing. They definitely  know when something’s off.

⇢ “You changed your hair.” ⇢ “You looked upset earlier.” ⇢ “You didn’t text me back and I panicked.” ⇢ “You weren’t at lunch and it felt weird.” ⇢ “Are you cold?” hands over jacket without a second thought

They don’t say “I love you,” but their actions scream it constantly.

ꕤ they get weird when someone else gets close They’re not jealous. No, how dare you think something like that… they’re just keeping an eye out. For safety... Or whatever."

⇢ “Who was that?” ⇢ “Oh, you’re hanging out with them again?” ⇢ “I just think it’s interesting how you never cancel on them.”

They don’t say it, but they hate the idea of being replaced. It stings more than they’re ready to admit.

ꕤ they make excuses to be around each other.

Literally inventing reasons to be in the same space.

⇢ “Wanna study together? I’m struggling with this topic.” (They’re not.) ⇢ “Oh, I was just in the area.” (They weren’t.) ⇢ “You forgot this.” (It’s a single pen.)

They’d rather lie badly than admit, “I just wanted to see you.”

ꕤ  Their friends are so over it Everyone around them is either rooting for them or trying not to scream.

⇢ “You’re in love with them.” ⇢ “That’s not friendship, and you know it.” ⇢ “You made them soup. FUCKING SOUP. Just say you’re married already.” ⇢ “If I have to hear you talk about them one more time, I’m charging rent.”

Friends are the Greek chorus of this situation, like, brutally honest and endlessly tired.

ꕤ  There’s always a moment they almost figure it out That one soft, unspoken beat where the truth almost breaks through.

⇢ Watching them laugh like it’s the first time. ⇢ Seeing them cry and wanting to fix it more than anything. ⇢ Realizing no one else makes them feel like this. ⇢ Thinking, God, they’re beautiful.

Then they blink, panic a little, and go, “Huh. Weird.” And move on. Like absolute fools.

ꕤ  When it finally hits, it’s not cute, it’s catastrophic. Suddenly everything makes sense and feels like too much.

⇢ Flashbacks. ⇢ Internal screaming. ⇢ “Oh no.” ⇢ “OH MY GOD.” ⇢ “Has it always been this obvious??” ⇢ “Wait. Everyone knew?!”

Yes. Everyone. The friends, the neighbor’s cat. You were the only two who didn’t get the memo...

MY SHAYLAAA 😭❤️❤️

I love Bob

[naushtheaspiringauthor]

i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

[naushtheaspiringauthor]

~Invisible String~

Bob Reynolds x Narissa Andersen (oc!)

Chapter-5

Chapter-4 / Chapter-3 / Chapter-2 / Chapter-1

Warnings- just a wee bit of angst at the end

Summary- After being surrounded inside the vault, the newly formed team has to figure out a way to get out and go back home alive.

A/N- Writing fanfiction is basically how I spend my weekends so here’s another chapter. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. And as always, any form of feedback is appreciated. Let me know if you’d like to be added to this fic’s taglist and or my Bob Reynolds fanfiction taglist in general (I’m making one now shhh)

oh and btw, the random scenes written in between in italics are flashbacks if there’s any confusion regarding it

Word count- 3,765

“We need to come up with a plan” Yelena paced around, one hand on her hip.

“Okay here’s what we’re gonna do,” Walker began.

”Oh you’re the boss now?” Ava tilted her head. “Cute”.

Nessa raised an eyebrow at him. “No way I’m taking orders from you”.

“Well yeah it’s your only chance of getting out” Walker turned to Nessa. 

“I think I’ll probably just surrender,” Bob spoke up from a corner.

”Fine” Walker raised his shoulders briefly. "Every man for himself”.

“Why should you be in charge?” Yelena questioned. “You almost got us all killed back there”.

“Well let’s see,” Walker began. “I’ve been in the trenches of every war-torn country on this planet, rescued God knows how many hostages, and shook the hands of two U.S. Presidents” he listed.

“What else?” He raised a hand. 

Nessa let out an annoyed grunt as he went on.

“Uh oh,” he pointed a finger. “high school state football champions. “Back to back to back”.

”Go bears!” He raised his fist in the air.

“Oh wow” Yelena said. “When I was five, I was on a little league soccer team called the ‘West Chesapeake Valley Thunderbolts, sponsored by Shane’s Tire Shop’”.

“We didn’t win a single game the entire time and this girl, Mindy, did a poo mid field”.

Nessa grimaced.

She motioned with her hand, "Anyone else have any pointless childhood stories to tell?”.

“I grew up in a lab prison” Ava stated.

“Meth addicted sign twirling chicken” Bob added. 

Nessa turned to him, an eyebrow raised. 

He raised a shoulder, “Summer job”.

“Had to stop my mother from od’ing multiple times” Nessa added, pursing her lips afterwards.

The rest of them stared at her.

“Right so” She snapped her attention back to the whole group. “Here’s the plan” she began.

“I set off an explosion, cut the power momentarily”.

“I don’t know,” Walker interjected. “Too many variables with an explosion”.

“They’d have to turn on their night vision,” Nessa continued, ignoring him. 

“You handle the first wave with Yelena” she told him. 

“but you wait for me after I’ve blinded the rest of the troops” she then turned to Yelena who nodded in agreement.

“Wait so everyone’s just gonna wait for you?” Walker asked Nessa.

“It’ll only work if you wait for me,” she explained . “Ava you’ll have to find us an escape vehicle” she turned to the woman.

“It’s a terrible plan,” Walker declared.

“Oh yeah?” She crossed her arms. “Well what do you guys think?” She turned to the rest of them.

“I- I think it’s a great plan” Bob nodded, offering her a small smile.

“It’s better than whatever Walker comes up with,” Yelena shrugged.

Walker scoffed.

“I’ll take my chances with it” Ava gave a nod.

Nessa then turned to Walker, “You were saying?” She raised an eyebrow.

He huffed, “Fine, we stick to your plan.” He agreed, begrudgingly.

“Well I’ll be off” Ava declared, vanishing before anyone could say anything.

”Wait, what about me?” Bob suddenly called out.

Nessa turned to him, feeling guilty for not including him, “You stay with me Bob” she told him.

”Let’s do this,” said Yelena, lips forming a thin line.

Nessa gave her a nod in response.

Nessa walked towards the darkened corner with slow, cautious steps. Bob followed her, his steps making a lot more noise than hers.

“There” she muttered as they reached the rows of electrical panels.

She strode forward, observing the panels briefly before pressing a row of buttons. 

“Step back, Bob” she motioned with her hand.

He quietly obliged, shuffling backwards.

She waited until he was at a safe distance, then turned her focus back to the work at hand.

She raised her arms, drawing power from the electricity around her. 

She heard Bob gasp as soon as the depths of her skin began to glow a bright yellow.

With one swift motion of her hands, she threw a blast at the panels and quickly stepped backwards.

The explosion came in a split second, the sound echoing all around them. 

Their surroundings suddenly went dark. The glow in her palms faded.

“That did it” she nodded to herself.

“How- how do you do that?” he asked, breathless as he looked at her in awe.

“By channeling any form of energy that’s present around me and using it in its raw form” she explained.

She then went back to the panels, fumbling with the switches as Bob came back to her side.

“Maybe I should have a gun?” He suggested.

She raised an eyebrow as she kept her focus on her work, “D’you know how to use one?”.

“I know how to use a plastic one,” He offered.

“Then, no” she fumbled with one of the buttons, finally turning the power off.

“but we're gonna have to fight, right?” He asked.

“Yeeeep” she said, stretching out the word.

”I’ll do the fighting, don't worry” she shifted her gaze to him. “You just stay behind me”.

”This- the medical trial” He began. 

“It was supposed to make me feel better, I don’t know,” he shrugged. “I feel like maybe I could help” his features relaxed slightly.

Nessa furrowed her brows, her lips forming a thin line, “You said you didn’t know anything about it?”.

“A little” he tilted his head. “I just remember they said I was going to die”.

Nessa stomach dropped, fear slithered over her back like a throned vine.

“This procedure might kill you, do you understand?” The man in the labcoat knelt down to meet her gaze.

But her eyes were glassy, unfocused, as she stared ahead. “Yes,” she said.

She snapped her gaze to the man, “I don’t care”.

Nessa snapped back to the present, focusing back on Bob.

“They said it was for people who wanted to do something better for themselves,” he explained.

A frown appeared on Nessa’s features.

 She knew exactly what he meant.

”It’s just…” he trailed off, hesitation creeping over his features.

“You can tell me, Bob,” she offered a reassuring nod.

“Can I- trust you?” He asked.

“Well” she pursed her lips. “That’s up to you”.

He gazed at her for a moment, his gaze softened. “It’s just that” he continued. “I’ve always had these episodes ever since I was a kid”. 

Nessa’s features relaxed

“There’s a high,” he continued to explain. “And then there’s a big low”.

“Then my memory just goes blank”.

“But this time I feel like something bad happened, or I did something bad” his voice wavered as the fear crept onto his features.

She shifted her focus back to her work as the timer on her watch began to beep.

”I mean, everyone here has done bad things” she pulled a series of levers up, so as to turn the power back on.

“I just.. I feel like this is a whole new kind of wake up for me” Bob’s voice was quiet now.

Nessa blinked a few times as their surroundings continued to remain darkened. “Wait no that was supposed to do it”.

Panic rushed into her as the power didn’t turn back on.

”But we have to turn it back on” Bob’s voice was brimming with panic.

“Yeah” she banged the levers and buttons multiple times, failing to turn the power back on.

“I mean, they were blinded,” he pointed out.

“Yeah, I know, Bob,” she paced around, fumbling with the switches.

”That was your plan,” he added.

”Not helping” she said, her mind was racing. “The explosion messed up the wires” she muttered under her breath.

But Bob seemed to have heard her, “What?” He asked, his eyes widened in fear.

“Fuck this” she muttered. “Come on” she turned to Bob as she motioned with her chin.

She stepped into the now darkened hallway, walking forward.

He quickly fell into step beside her.

”I hate to say this but- I think Walter was right” he admitted quietly.

Nessa frowned, “His name’s Walker”.

Faint sounds of gunshots and fighting started to come as they strode forward. 

The sounds got louder and louder until Nessa suddenly laid a hand out in front of Bob, which made him crash into her hand.

The sounds suddenly halted.

She slowly took out her gun from its holster, keeping a firm grip on it as she slowly walked forward.

She turned on her flashlight and pointed in towards the ground. There were several unconscious soldiers lying on the floor, but no sign of Yelena or John.

”They’re gone” Bob breathed behind her.

Her lips formed a thin line, “We find our own way out of here then”.

Suddenly, a group of armed soldiers appeared in front of them, guns raised.

Nessa ushered backwards into the hallway, grabbing Bob by the arm in the process and pulling him away.

The sound reached her ears before the smoke did, a series of faint hissing.

She rushed towards the unconscious soldiers, pulling two face masks from them. 

“Put it on” she commanded Bob as she handed him one. Then quickly put the other one on.

She took slow, cautious steps as she moved through the haze of the smoke, making sure Bob was behind her. 

She grabbed one of the soldiers from behind, pinning his arms behind his back as she kicked him in the back of his leg, making him lose his footing.

She ripped his gun from his grasp, thrashing it down on his back, making him fall to the ground.

She aimed and shot several shots at another soldier.

 She quickly discarded the weapon and sideways, scaling the wall as soon as she made contact with it. 

She threw her weight down at one of them, making him crash to the ground. 

She rolled forward, hooking her leg to another one. She grabbed him by the elbow as she got back on her feet, twisting his arm around and slamming him down to the ground.

One of them grabbed her by the neck from behind. She gritted her teeth as she planted her left leg, throwing a kick backwards to the man’s calf.

His grip around her neck loosened as he stumbled backwards. She grabbed his arm from both her hands and spun around, twisting his arm in the process. 

She kept one hand on his arm and hooked the other one around his neck.

A sickening crack sounded as she jerked his head sideways. She pushed him sideways, making him crash to the ground.

”Oh shit!” Bob’s voice sounded from behind her.

She put up a gun from the floor and handed it to him, “There’s your gun”.

Another three soldiers rushed towards them. Nessa whipped her head sideways, finding a long hose. 

”Stay behind me!” she ordered Bob. 

She pulled the hose and wrapped it around her waist and bob’s, pulling him closer to her.

She stretched out her hands, sending a blast in the direction of the soldiers.

”How do I do this?” Bob asked frantically.

Just point at them and shoot!” She yelled back as another group charged towards them.

And so he tried, as one of the soldiers approached from his side.

“Aim higher!” She commanded as she threw simultaneous blasts at the ones shooting at her.

“Not at me!” She screamed as he pointed his gun in her direction in panic.

”Sorry” he shrieked.

She grabbed his hands, directing his aim towards the last two people rushing towards them, but they managed to block every shot.

”Stop stop stop!!” A voice rang out from amidst the gunshots, a woman’s voice.

”It’s us!” She ripped the mask away from her face to reveal a blonde woman.

Bob quickly stopped shooting. 

Nessa released her grip on his hands and took off her mask.

“It’s us Nessa!” John’s voice came afterwards as he took off his mask.

Nesa unwrapped the hose from around her waist.

”Where the hell were you guys!?” She yelled. “I thought you left”.

”Where were you?” John and Yelena’s voices rang out at the same time.

”The explosion fried the wires” Nessa admitted with a sigh.

”I told you,” Walker said. ‘Too many variables”.

”And then you two didn’t wait” she jabbed a finger at them.

”We did wait!” Yelena added. “Are you two okay?” She added quietly.

Nessa turned back to Bob who was struggling to take his mask off.

“Yeah we’re okay," she nodded. 

Suddenly, the earpiece in Walker’s ear began to sound. 

Someone giving orders.

”We probably have about sixty seconds until they mow us” he stated.

”If Ghost Lady actually did what she was supposed to, maybe we’ll all get out of here alive”.

“How do we get out of here unnoticed then?’ Yelena asked.

”Yeahh about that..” Nessa trailed off as she looked back at Bob whose mask fell back on his face. “I have an idea”

The four of them were staggering outside into the open field. All dressed up in the black tactical suit of the people they’d just fought. 

Walker and Nessa were on both sides of bob. His arms were around on their shoulders on both sides as they dragged him across the field. 

Yelena was beside Nessa.

”I don’t want to be carried anymore,” Bob complained 

“Shut up, Bob,” said Walker. “You’re injured, remember”.

Nessa shifted her gaze sideways and caught sight of Valentina, the woman who was the cause of it all.

Every muscle in Nessa’s body screamed at her to charge at the woman and strangle her with her bare hands, but she restrained herself. 

Her jaw clenched as she walked ahead.

”We need a truck,” Yelena called out.

“Where’s Ava?” Nessa spoke, as they staggered forward. 

The insane weight of the suit was not helping in the slightest.

“She’s gone” said Yelena as they looked around, having no sight of the masked woman.

”Of course she is,” Walker grunted.

They stood in the empty field with no way out of there. 

Suddenly, a truck rolled behind them. “Get in!” Ava called out from behind.

Relief flooded in Nessa’s chest as she let go of Bob.

”Nessa stay in the back with him,” Yelena said, gesturing towards Bob.

Bob was the first to enter the back of the truck, Nessa followed after, sitting in front of him .

”You two gonna be okay back here?” she asked them.

”Yeah” Nessa nodded as she took off her mask.

Nesa turned towards Bob who nodded in agreement.

Walker and Yelena shut the door as they went to sit in the front with Ava.

“Didn’t think you’d actually come back” Nessa called out to Ava from the back.

”You know that’s the second time she’s come back,” Walker said.

“This was my only way out, okay?” Ava responded. “That’s it”.

Nessa let out a chuckle

The truck began rolling shrotly after.

“Are you alright?” Bob asked her, moving his head downwards so he could meet her eye level.

“Hmm?” She looked upwards to meet his gaze. “Yeah I’m okay” she nodded.

“You?”

“Yeah” he breathed out.

“Don’t worry” she reassured him. “We'll be out of this mess soon enough”.

He offered her a smile as he nodded.

She looked at his eyes, his blue irises that somehow still managed to shine in the darkness of the back of a truck. 

She felt the pull of a string at the depth of her heart. There was exhaustion woven in his irises, as if he’d been fighting for too long, running away from the doom that had chased him all his life. 

And Nessa understood that exact feeling.

She’d felt it all her life.

But in the quietness of his company, there was something other than that quiet understanding. There was hope, hope for attaining something neither of them had ever thought of.

He might have understood that too, because his gaze softened as he looked at her. 

His eyes shone brighter now.

She smiled

So did he

Suddenly, the truck jerked to a stop, making Nessa’s body jerk.

“Identify yourselves soldiers” A voice called out from somewhere outside.

Panic rose in Nessa’s chest. Her jaw was set, but she refrained from speaking.

“Part of the medical team” Walker’s voice sounded. 

Nessa had shifted all her focus towards the front of the truck.

”Guys in the back are hit,” he continued. “We're taking them to the hospital”.

“Medical bay’s set up on the north side” the soldier’s voice sounded.

A sudden thud sounded behind Nessa. 

She whipped her head to see Bob drop the last piece of his gear.

Nessa’s stomach lurched as she realised what he was about to do. 

“No no no Bob don’t!” her voice trembled, her breath got stuck up in her throat.

But he just smiled, gently.

Her stomach lurched, it was a smile she knew all too well.

His hand reached out to the side of her face, “I trust you, Nessa” he stroked her check with his thumb.

Nessa’s heart was pounding against her chest, as she met his gaze.

Her eyes were widened in fear.

His were soft, a sea that was finally at peace after facing a long lasting storm.

He had decided to stop running.

His hands were suddenly on her shoulders. He pushed her backwards with much force.

She stumbled, crashing to the floor of the truck on her elbows.

He flung the truck doors open with unprecedented force and rushed out in just his hospital clothes.

He’d grabbed a gun from somewhere. Loud gunshots rang out in the air as he ran forward.

Nessa didn’t think, her body acted on impulse. She pushed herself back on her feet and staggered out of the door. “No Bob!” She screamed.

 “Come back!” She yelled out, her voice ripped through her throat, but it was of no use. 

He was long ahead of her by now, surrounded from all sides, guns were pointed at him.

He stopped in front of the vault's gate, completely unfazed by the rows of guns pointed at him. He raised his arm and shot the gun in the air, “Hey!” He called out. “I’m here!!” He yelled at the soldiers in front of him.

Nessa was running now.

Not again, not again, please, not again, the voice in her head was screaming now, begging, pleading.

But a whole round of shots rang out, the bullets pierced through every inch of Bob’s torso.

”No!” A scream tore its way out of her throat, but her voice was muffled by the sounds of gunshots.

Bob’s body fell backwards to the ground. 

Suddenly she felt another body crashing on hers. Arms wrapped around her frame, pulling her back. 

“Nessa!” The voice yelled out. “We have to go!”.

”We can’t save him!” Yelena pleaded as she pulled her backwards.

Nessa attempted to break free from her grasp.

 She could feel her focus fading away

No not now! The voice in her head screamed.

But her focus suddenly came back to her when she saw a shape moving. 

Bob

He slowly stood back up, arms raised at his sides, completely unfazed as if he hadn’t just been shot at least 47 times.

His shirt was filled with holes, revealing parts of his skin.

Her breath stuck in her throat.

She heard Yelena breathe out.

Another row of guns fired at him. Suddenly, Bob shot up in the air.

Nessa whipped her head upwards, but he was no longer visible.

Yelena quickly ushered her back inside the truck.

“Go go go!” She yelled out as she shut the doors behind her.

The truck began rolling again.

Nessa’s mind couldn’t comprehend what was going on. 

Or how Bob had managed to survive that.

She couldn’t forget the look in his eyes, that quiet somber gaze, the way he’d smiled at her.

He’d done this for her.

He’d thrown himself into the fire so as to prevent her from burning.

Even though she'd done nothing to deserve it.

A sudden force made the whole truck shake. 

“He’s coming back down,” Ava frantically declared.

“What?” Nessa breathed out.

But before she could further comprehend the situation, the ground  shook beneath them. The force made the truck roll over.

 And before Nessa could realise it, she was falling.

Writing Motivation

The Inspirational Jar

Grab some pieces of paper and write down any prompts you found online, favourite song lyrics, characters you enjoy writing about, quotes from books or films, or random words or situations. Fold them up and put them in a jar or box. You can then open the jar or box and grab one of the pieces of paper to use as the basis for your writing that day. This is a great way to get back into writing and find your own style by experimenting with different forms and topics.

It doesn't have to be a real story - try other forms of writing, such as a poem, stream of consciousness, fan fiction, dialogue only, texting only, retelling with no dialogue, a song, diary entry or character description. Also, try to spice things up by using two or more inspirational slips of paper!

[naushtheaspiringauthor]

was doing a lil sketch of a knight and a princess and it suddenly reminded me of the knight Nikolai au by @corpsebasil still think about that au to this day it was one of the most beautiful piece of literature I've read

also this turned out surprisingly good??? considering this is the first sketch I've done since 2023
