TOXIC NIGHTMARE THROUPLE for the WIP Ask game!!!!!

ahhhhh you know this one. the cursed sad universe where Rafe @nonagesimus is Rook because he's covering for Bea, the one where he's involved with Illario and has another round of weird dancing around each other with Bea, and Bea and Illario have weird semi-grief sex in his absence.

here's an excerpt xoxo:

That doesn't mean they don't keep trying. Falling into bed is easy, especially once Viago makes the decision to extend their stay in Treviso. By the second month, they're fucking almost daily, jokes about relieving tension as a poor smokescreen for what they're really doing. Illario doesn't mention that she calls him the wrong name half the time, doesn't call her out on walking away crying. Bea stays silent when he fucks up his use of endearments and pulls one out that clearly wasn't meant for her. No one else understands. So they stay in each other's orbit, and it doesn't help, not really, but it makes the feeling bearable, at least. Knowing someone else misses Rafe, the way she does. Sometimes they're vicious about it. Illario is larger than life, a preening bird in the sun. But there are days where it seems rotten and fake, his grip on her jaw mean and bruising as she fucks herself on his cock. There's a glint in his eye, like the flash of a knife in the dark. It's jealousy, and she recognizes it because she feels it, too. They're both jealous of what the other had, the parts of Rafe that they didn't share. It boils in her veins sometimes, hot and perverse, has her fisting a hand in Illario's hair and yanking his head back just to see if he'll let her hurt him back. He always does, and maybe if things were different she'd ask about it. — They're not in love; maybe in another life they could've been. But in this one, they're a strange sort of friends. The sort who chase the taste of someone long gone on each other's tongue.

"divorce throuple" is two of my favourite things in the world combined. please tell me more

FUCK YEAH i'm sorry this is gonna be so long lmfao. so there's a band AU, right? Bea's a bassist in an all-girl punk rock group. When she's like 22-23, she meets Illario, a model on the rise who's on the outs with his Grandma BECAUSE of his decision to pursue modeling.

Without spoiling the divorce WIP, they fall very very in love and get married way too fast. It barely lasts a year. The divorce is messy and nasty, and they part ways on godawful terms.

NOW FOR THE THROUPLE PART: 10 years or so later, the band has hit it BIG. The vocalist, Bea's best friend Ziva @classicleechaos, ends up in a sham PR relationship with none other than Lucanis Dellamorte, famous tennis player, to distract from a scandal.

Which, through a chain of events, leads to Illario getting dragged to the band's shows. And Illario's ready to snark back and forth with Bea when Lucanis drags him backstage, and also very ready to hate Bea's new partner, Rafe @nonagesimus, the band's manager.

Except neither of those things happen. Things aren't great with Bea, they're weird and complicated bc they never really stopped loving each other, but the bigger problem is that he absolutely cannot get himself to hate Rafe. He's both ridiculously pretty and also ridiculously nice. Illario wants to be annoyed about the way he looks at Bea, but instead he's just standing there going "she deserves that" and getting all up in his feelings about Rafe and Bea and BeaRafe. He wants to be in the middle of that and it's driving him insane.

Here's an excerpt (a new one for @nonagesimus who asked about this WIP too <3)

Illario doubts he'll find the answer to his current problem at the bottom of a bottle, but that doesn't stop him from trying. Lucanis would understand, if he said no, the next time his cousin tries to drag him to a show. But Illario's never going to say no, regardless of how much he should. Because saying no would mean missing out on what's become his ritual torment of the last year; seeing Bea and her stupidly attractive manager with their hands all over each other. He wonders, viciously, if this time the ring will stay on her finger. It's not that there hasn't been anyone else for him, too. He's dated, and Illario wouldn't call any of the relationships bad. But sometimes his life feels like a Stevie Nicks song; he'll turn on the radio and knows immediately the fingers thrumming the bass are Bea's. He can't get away from her. By now, he's given up on trying. The fact that they're civil now makes it worse, somehow. Because she smiles at him again, and there's a mirrored kind smile on Rafael De Riva's face that stabs Illario low in the gut every time. They're beautiful together, and they're everything he's ever wanted.

I MEAN of course I’m gonna ask about polycuuuuule 🫶

so u probably figured polycule is the folder name for mixology (started as just a doc called lucayden first time but then it grew chapter plot and polycule drama so here we are lmao) and i think i have already posted at least part of this but (feat ur daphne and @classicleechaos’s ziva and hector)

“This is Lucanis, you’d know him as Spite,” Daphne said, and the man stepped forward to shake Ayden’s hand.

They’d kind of been expecting a polite wave at most. But his gaze was very direct, his palm warm against theirs, as he said, “I’m glad to have the opportunity to perform here.”

Ayden, eloquently, said, “Thank Daphne and Mirevas, I’m just a bartender,” and took a moment to redirect their attention to the next intorduction.

“This is Hector, or Hex,” Daphne continued, gesturing towards the other man, “And Ziva, or Jinx.”

Ziva said, “You’ve been paying attention,” with a curl of a smile on her face and Daphne looked a little lost for words.

Ayden said, “So, do you have a fun nickname as well?” and bumped their shoulder into hers.

“Spectre.”

Lucanis was the one who said it. Something fond in his voice, colouring his expression as well when his gaze fell on Daphne. It made Ayden like him more.

“Spooky,” they said, grinning over at her.

The joke didn’t impact like they thought it would, though. The barest hint of a smile before she turned back to the group and said, “Let’s start the tour.”

[nonagesimus]

you know i'm going to ask about the proposal. (ur post is coming i'm on the bus and can't format correctly lmfao)

they’re so important to meee

They won’t even need to acknowledge it, probably. It’s not like they usually rehash their text conversations when they see each other in person.

It keeps itching at him, though.

Being away from her does that normally.

He tries to push it all back. Focuses on the rest of his morning routine, keeps his hands busy right up until he’s climbing into his car to head towards The Lighthouse. His phone hasn’t buzzed the whole day. It’s unusual, enough to have him nervous. Even on top of the last exchange sitting in his eyeline every time he opens his messages to check if he’s missed something.

She’s on prep, and it works out that she’s just dragging a cart of ready-to-drinks out from the back when opens the front door and walks into the bar. Both of them stop, mid-step, meeting eyes across the floor.

Maybe there should have been something different, considering the anxiety that had been stoking itself in Rafe’s gut all day. But seeing her feels the same as it always does; something like fire in his chest, warming every piece of him. A smile breaks out on his face, he walks across the bar floor towards her. She pushes the trolley aside and comes to meet him.

“Hey,” he says, kisses her in greeting, feels her hand come up to rest on his waist.

She says, “Hi,” smiling at him.

Maker, he hopes he makes her even half as happy as she makes him.

reading comics and i see this

and just immediately think

[nonagesimus]

To me personally, the most interesting part of the "Chance Candide has elven (pointy) ears" thing is that he by no means has a unique head model. This means his head was likely compiled from the same assets available to Rook in CC. If that conjecture is true, then it's possible to give pointy ears to human Rooks in CC. But has anyone actually tried that

is jason todd well written? no, not really. but do his writers bring aspects of his time as robin through to red hood? uh, also no. but do his comics have a coherent narrative thread besides violence? nope! but does he have agency and get to be a driving force in his own stories? eh... but! do his writers bring attention to the classist issues that he would be a perfect vehicle for! still no! but, crucially, does he at least get to tell his own side of his story and give a voice to all the hundreds of joker's victims? well... uh.... but is he hot?

WIP Wednesday Thursday

thank u @corvus-frugilegus <3

have some mob AU bc it pleases me personally

Illario insists on driving her to the bar on her first night back, and sticks to her side all the way up to the entrance of the place. It's an hour before open, Ayden should be done with their prep by now and maybe she can get away with stealing them for a reunion around a cigarette. She doesn't expect Viago to be the one standing behind the bar. As soon as the other man spots Illario behind her, he's barking, looking for all the world like a particularly pissed off purebred dog. "OUT!" Illario laughs, a low rumble coming from his throat, and turns to press a filthier-than-appropriate kiss to her lips. "I'll see you after close?" "Sure." She reaches to flatten the lapels of his suit out of habit, presses a much chaster kiss to the corner of his mouth, one that says behave without needing to use the word. He leaves quickly, because even Illario can be cowed sometimes. "That's going to be a problem." Viago announces, clipped, as she approaches the bar. It really is out of the ordinary to see him here; he's got a manager for a reason, namely delegating the boring parts of the job. It's unsettling, really. "Tell him to stop doing that or I have a pair of cinder blocks with his name on them."

since i'm late, open tag to any followers who wanna show me what they're working on rn!!
