My Winter feast present for @bluebee242 for the @dishonoredgiftexchange! He asked for Corvo in his childhood in Karnaca. Here he is with some bloodfly issues.

“I killed him.” Emily’s eyes are locked on the sword in her hands; she’s been cleaning it since she sat down. It gleams even in the low light of the cargo bay, but she still wipes at it as though it’s soaked in blood. Good, Billie thinks privately, vindictively. She hopes Jindosh suffered ten times the hurt he inflicted on Anton before he was put out of his misery.

I wrote this for @lapinneok as part of Fugue Feast 2023 hosted by @dishonoredgiftexchange - the prompt was Emily and Billie having a talk about the path of the knife and how it affected their lives, set after the Clockwork Mansion mission.

Happy Fugue Feast Lapin, I hope you like the fic! <3

Someone once mentioned an idea while Tristamp was airing that I haven't been able to stop thinking about:

What if Vash wasn't counting the days passing?

What if he was counting those in cryosleep that must have passed away, that he thinks he murdered, on ship five?

It's not a super strong theory. But also, we don't see Vash's hair grow. We don't continue to see his accelerated growth. Brad is later shocked when he sees the markings, even though he's shown as being around from time to time.

And more than even that: why would Vash care about the passage of time? Luida told him to think about how he could be of use, but the only thing he's ever been used for is attempted genocide.

The Fugue Feast Gift Exchange 2023 is Here! 🏄☀️

Hello Dishonored fans! We will be hosting another Fugue Feast gift exchange event this year :) If you are not familiar with the events that we host, you can look at our Carrd!

Our schedule for the event will be as followed:

May 1st to May 25th: Sign-ups are open! We accept anyone who signs up :D

May 26th to May 31st: Prompts will be assigned over the course of the week.

June 1st to July 8th: Creation period! Gifters will start creating their gifts.

July 9th to July 15th: Gifting period! Gifters have a week to post/send their gifts!

July 16th to July 22nd: Assign pinch hitters in the case of anyone dropping out.

For people who are familiar with the event, we have also changed some of the rules:

You will now have to be done with your gift by the end of the creation period. This means that the gifting period will now be JUST for gifting. Again, if you cannot make the deadline, please let us know ahead of time!

Near the end of the creation period, we will have another Google Form to check in on your progress. We'll post that here on Tumblr when we come to that.

You can apply here or find the link to the form on our Carrd.

We hope you'll join us! 😎⛱️

Gorgon!Gaz' and all his snakes' eyes glow in the dark. I'm sure he's caused plenty heartattacks, with or without the protective contacts.

GUYS I JUST SAW THIS ON TWITTER AND I AM DYING

[settling-dusk]

Oralech cannot compete, and he cannot go free, but it is not just about him and his freedom – it hasn’t been about that for a long, long time now. This victory brings them one step closer to realising their Plan, and he should be happy about it. He is happy about it, even if he cannot quite muster the energy to show it right now. He’s not the only one, he finds. Volfred is uncharacteristically quiet, and Hedwyn and Jodariel retire as soon as they reach the Blackwagon, both stating a blooming pain right behind the eyes. As a trained physician and seasoned conductor of the Rites, Oralech knows exactly what ails them. “You kept too tight a hold on their minds.” Brighton sometimes did the same, when the stakes were high and he did not trust in the other members of his triumvirate to secure victory. It’s an exceedingly unpleasant feeling, Oralech remembers well, like being puppeteered rather than guided – and that’s not to mention the headache that always followed it, very much like the one Hedwyn and Jodariel just described. Volfred hums in response, his focus on rearranging their Books and raiments. “So I did.” Another might have taken his light tone for nonchalance, but Oralech can see the tension in his roots, hear the creaks in his too-stiff movements. “It’s unlike you,” he prods. “Your Reading usually has more finesse.” “I can ill afford finesse. Erisa taught me that much, at the very least.”

Finally found the time to edit and post part 2! ^-^

have at it :3
