Hours in the Moonlight Master-List

Most believe that vampires do not exist. That their just an old tale that has been reused countless times in the forms of horror in romance. But you know otherwise. After all, vampires do have a special affection for you for reasons unknown. Delving into the world of the night is something totally different though. Especially for someone who’s been trying to avoid these creatures that practically hunt you.

But then, one step closer in the form of a vampire you accidentally befriend and the slope becomes slippery.

It’s time you learned what happens during hours in the moonlight by the side of vampires who come in the form of friends, allies, and potentially foes.

Here it is! My Twisted Wonderland Vampire AU! I hope you all enjoy!!

I don't have a "Most Anticipated Read" for 2024... I have 20.

Around the beginning of January, I saw many of my reading friends on multiple platforms talk about the book they were most excited for in 2024. And I didn’t get it. There are several books I would like to read that will be coming out in 2024, but since I’ve started reading books by indie authors, I’ve grown accustomed to not knowing about which books authors are publishing until a few months in…

[fictionadventurer]

Top ten fairytale retelling novels/novellas you've read.

I've already answered my top 10, so here's my shot at listing 11-20.

11. A Long, Long Sleep by Anna Sheehan: Would probably be higher on the list if I'd remembered it in time. Sci-fi story that's a very loose retelling of "Sleeping Beauty", but so rich and emotionally devastating.

12. Maid and Minstrel and The Beggar Prince by Kate Stradling: Putting both of her short "King Thrushbeard" retellings in one entry. The first is more of a "Beauty and the Beast" tale that makes both leads decent people caught up in a misunderstanding, but I appreciated how it (probably accidentally) made me see the Christ-imagery inherent in the original. The second gives King Thrushbeard some character flaws and a good arc, and has an excellent explanation for why the princess didn't want to marry any of her suitors.

13. Fairest by Gail Carson Levine: Snow White retelling set in the world of Ella Enchanted, and retains that book's creativity in adapting the fairy tale elements. Has an excellent full-cast audiobook.

14. The Stepsister and the Slipper by Nina Clare: Georgette-Heyer-esque Cinderella retelling. Very rushed ending, and not the kind of romance I'd advise anyone to pursue in real life, but very fun.

15. Soot and Slipper by Kate Stradling: Cinderella retelling with an excellent twist, adorable characters, and a convoluted ending.

16. Before Midnight by Cameron Dokey: Short and basic Cinderella retelling that gets on the list because I have extremely fond autumnal associations with this book.

17. Unseen Beauty by Amity Thompson: A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling from the point-of-view of one of the invisible servants. Since I'd had that idea for years before finding this, I was thrilled to find that this story does a pretty good job with it.

18. Exile by Loren G. Warnemuende: The first book in a trilogy that retells "Maid Maleen". I haven't finished the series yet, so maybe it's unfair to put it on here, but I loved the section of the story that takes place in the tower, so I couldn't leave it off the list.

19. The Seventh Raven by David Elliot: A retelling of "The Seven Ravens" that does a decent job of retelling the fairy tale, but I mostly love it as a very well-structured novel-in-verse that structures each POV character's poems with their own poetic form.

20. The Tales of Ambia by Allison Tebo: Fun, slightly Wodehouse-ish retellings that are a breath of fresh air in the romantasy-dominated world of indie retellings

Honorable Mentions:

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer: Objectively as stories, these should be pretty high up on the list. It had great characters and adapted the fairy tale elements in some amazing ways. But I'm not a fan of a lot of the worldbuilding elements here, so I couldn't bring myself to rank it above some of my beloved, but more-flawed indie retellings.

With Blossoms Gold by Hayden Wand and Sweet Remembrance by Emily Ann Putzke: Both contained in Once: Six Historical Fairy Tale Retellings. The first is "Rapunzel" set in Renaissance Italy with an agoraphobic Rapunzel, and the second is a beautifully devastating retelling of "The Little Match Girl" set during WWII. I haven't read these in a long time, but I remember them both being very good.

Masque by W.R. Gingell: An excellent "Beauty and the Beast" retelling with a very lively Beauty, a Beast who works as a police detective instead of brooding in a castle, and some clever adaptations of the fairy tale elements. Unfortunately, I've decided a couple elements of the magic go beyond what I'm comfortable with, so I couldn't put it on the list, but I had to give it credit.

[tsubakill]

After drawing Midnight Masquerade Idia (linked in my pinned post), now it's Vil's turn. He's sporting the evil fairest queen's dress, also designed for the Midnight Masquerade doll series by Steve Thompson.

I’ve been having fun with these limited edition dolls, so I’d like to make this a series with the housewardens!

The overblot boys showing their unique magic to the great seven.

Alright so I can imagine that the overblot boys were explaining their unique magic and the great seven were interested and wanted to see a demonstaration.

Riddle 🌹

So for this to work and 'cuz it's my headcanon, Riddle can only do his spell on those who have magic, since on people without magic like Yuu it wouldn't work 'cuz there is no magic that can be sealed.

So a person with magic steps forward to be spelled on (whoever that is you can decide on your own) and Riddle says and points his magic pen at them "Off with his head".

And at that second the person has a collar aroumd their neck and they can't cast their magic anymore. After the demonstration Riddle let the collar disappear.

The Queen of Hearts was ofcourse very proud of Riddle for having such a useful spell

Queen of Hearts: I know I don't have magic but if I were to have would wanted to have a spell that can actually behead people? 😁

Riddle: With all due respect your majesty......no.

Leona 🦁

Leona just grabbed a nearby plate said "King's Roar" the plate turned into sand and called it a day.

Scar likes that it's called King's Roar but he hides his happyness very well.

Although Ruggie stepped a few steps away as Leona grabbed the plate due to what happened to him in Book 2

Shenzai: Hey what happened there tell us!

Benzai: Yeah yeah come on it can't be that bad

Ed: .......

Ruggie: Leona grabbed my arm used his spell on it and almost turned my arm into sand 🙂

The hyeanas:...........

Benzai: Are you ok?

Ruggie: Well still a little grumpy at him for doing it but yeah I am fine 😁.

(He is not fine, boy is traumatized)

Azul 🐙

Sucks to be him 'cuz no one wanted to make a contract with him, especially not Ariel.

Ursula was sad that she couldn't see it herself buut is still happy that here deal and his spell are kinda the same

Azul: Come on it isn't bad at all 😁

Yuu: Yes it is 😒

Azul: What did you said?

Yuu: You heard me you shady octopus.

Azul: Hey!

Jamil 🐍

Yeah no one exactly wanted to be hypnotized, especially those who have been before......that was until Kalim voluntered so he could give Jami a chance to impress the Sorcerer of sands. Jamil was a little perplexed but he agreed nontheless.

And with the words "Snake Whisper", Kalim was under the spell....again.

Yeah it did impressed Jafar and also a tiny little jealous since he has to use his staff to hypnotize someone and Jamil just can do it with his eyes, but is still impressed.

Yuu: Alright you did now free him.

Jamil: You know he didn't had to. I mean I wouldn't mind using it on you agai since-

Yuu: Try it ever again and I will punsh you much worse then I did then and even more 🙂

Jamil:........alright

(And no Yuu doesn't hate him but they really hate that stunt he pulled)

Vil 💄

Well since he didn't exactly wanted anyone to actually hurt, he just touched an apple, decided that the curse shall be slowely rottening in 10 seconds, said "Fairest One Of All" amd it happned as he wanted it to happen.

The evil queen found that as a valuableand usefull spell, especially in terms for against people.

Ace: I still a little stiff due to that stupid spell

Vil: If you wouldn't have eaten the food in the fridge over nightime it wouldn't have happened.

Ace: We were hungry for crying out loud!

Vil: You ate dinner and decided to have an useless "midnight snack".

Ace: That dinner wasn't enough!

Yuu: Can we move on already?

Idia 🎮

For obvious reasons he can't do the spell at all

But Hades found that cool that he can literally open the gate like that without needing extherna things

Yuu: I really hope you will never use that spell again.

Idia: I am not an idiot.

Yuu: Yet you-

Idia: I was under the blots influence!

Yuu: So were the others!

Malleus 🐉

Yeah he ain't gonna put people into sleep again he learned his lesson.

Well Malefizent did knew about his spell since she is his great-great-grandmother.

Yuu:.........

Malleus:.........Yuu-

Yuu: Tsunotaro.

Malleus: Yeah?

Yuu: I forgave you alright. It's just.....I don't like to remember it.

Malleus: I...can understand that

A little angst on the last part but screw it

Throne of Glass and ASOIAF

Aelin Ashryver Galanthynius. She's from the Throne of Glass series written by Sarah J. Maas. If you're also a fan of GOT/ASOIAF, you know that they are a bunch of similarities. Today, let's get into the titles of Aelin (which were basically taken from other Targaryens). There will be other characters mentioned too.

Aelin: Heir of Fire - Daenerys: Bride of Fire

Aelin: Fire-breathing bitch-queen - Rhaenyra: The Bitch queen

Aelin: Aelin Light-Bringer - Daenerys: Azor Ahai returned (Lightbringer is a sword wield by Azor Ahai, a legendary hero. The name represents Azor Ahai reborn).

Aelin: The Queen Who Was Promised - Daenerys: The Prince that was promised. That is a direct copy. Sarah, you couldn't at least try to change it up a bit?😭

Aelin: The Faerie Queen of the West - Rhaena: The Queen in the west or Daenerys: The queen across the waters (Hers doesn't really count but I'm still putting it in).

Aedion: Wolf of the North or The Lord of the North (The stag). - House Stark: King in the North.

Aelin Galanthynius - Faerie Daenerys Targaryen

Manon Blackbeak - Faerie Visenya Targaryen

A signature feature of House Ashryver is their turquoise eyes with cores of gold. A signature feature of House Targaryen is their purple eyes.

"Ashryver Eyes

The fairest eyes, from legends old

Of brightest blue, ringed with gold" From Crown of Midnight.

Aelin being only a child when her parents were killed and had to flee from her home. Daenerys being only a baby when her family was killed and had to flee with her brother, Viserys III. They both travel and gather alliances so that they can take back their homes. Aelin is the last surviving member of House Galanthynius. Daenerys is one of the last surviving members of House Targayen (She would also be the last true Targaryen).

(If someone comes into my comments and talks how I'm reaching or some bullshit like that, shove it up your ass. It's not my fault that I noticed SJM's plagiarism, take it up with her unoriginal ass).

Unlike Acotar, I actually enjoy Throne of Glass. I'm not hating on Aelin or any other characters, just the similarities makes me question Sarah's originality. There's probably more but I ain't writing all that down.

Fire-breathing bitch-queen is actually "fire", ahaha.

❃EXO as roommates❃

a/n: I know most people are here for the svt posts but it’s been a while since I have done an exo one. I literally just pre-ordered D.O.’s albums; I am already delusional as is without getting new do kyungsoo content :’)

Anyway, bc of having lived in a studio apartment complex, I well aware that nothing breaks or makes living in student housing more than roommates. CURSE YOU BONGO DUDE I AM STILL NOT OVER YOU WAKING ME UP AT MIDNIGHT WITH YOUR LACK OF RHYTHM.

Xiumin/Minseok: 7/10

✾ He would nag the entire time that the house is not clean enough and that you left your shit lying around. Whoever said that student housing tends to be messy has not met Xiumin.

✾ He has been cleaning ever since he moved in and will not stop until he has moved out. Xiumin will scold you when you try to help him out as you are ‘not cleaning right’, whatever that means. Fortunately, that means he will rarely ask you to help him with the chores so you still get to enjoy a clean house without having to put the effort in.

✾ Honestly, his healthy lifestyle choices kind of motivate you to do better. He will definitely take you with him to the gym when you let it drop that you might be interested in getting in shape. Free gym coach, basically.

✾ He organizes roommate days weekly where the two of you spend planned time together because he believes that roommates should become/be friends.

Suho/Junmyeon: 9/10

✾ He will adopt you as one of his children. The moment you step foot in your shared housing, he has accepted that he has yet another child to take care of and no, you can’t convince him otherwise.

✾ He takes care of you and makes you feel right at home; he is the definition of the mom friend. Are you having trouble making new friends? He will introduce you to his. Have you been too busy studying and forgotten to eat? He will drop by the grocery store.

✾ The only downside to roommate Suho is that he can be overbearing and slightly judgy. You will hear “I am not mad, just disappointed” a lot when you, for instance, decide to go to out with your friends during finals. Apparently, that is irresponsible.

✾ Did you really move out of your parent’s home, or did you just replace your parents with Suho?

Baekhyun: -10000/10

✾ He drives you absolutely insane and makes you regret moving in with him. Nobody is safe from his teasing and antics and you are stuck with it until the lease is up.

✾ He convinces you to divide the chores through games that he somehow always ends up winning. He has not done any chores since he moved in and he somehow keeps convincing you that this is the fairest way to determine who has to do the dishes.

✾ Boundaries, what boundaries? Locked doors will not keep him out. He will definitely throw himself on your bed telling you all about the drama of people you do not know when you are trying to study for an important test in the quiet solitude of your room. If you’re home, he will not leave you alone.

✾ Always spontaneously invites people over and forgets to text you about it. At this point, all his friends have seen you in your comfy but definitely not fashionable clothes.

Chen/Jongdae: -1000000000000/10

✾ He. Is. So. Loud.

✾ The walls are way too thin to live with him. You can always hear him before you even see him. The type to wake you up in the middle of the night or early in the morning because he has no awareness of how loud he truly is.

✾ It wouldn’t even be such a problem, but bro never shuts up either. If he is not talking, he is constantly singing or humming. Chen truly doesn't have an off button.

✾ Add to the loudness problem that Chen is a morning person. He is so chirpy in the morning, singing a song on top of his lungs whilst he eats his breakfast. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he is the type to try and have full on conversations with you minutes after you’ve woken up, getting offended when your replies are curt.

✾ You had to ban game nights because he gets too competitive, whining so incredibly loudly every time he loses. One time the neighbours filed a noise complaint and he still maintains he wasn’t that loud.

Chanyeol: 8/10

✾ A really fun person to live with if you like a very present roommate. He will constantly ask you to hang out and play games or watch movies because he can’t be alone for five minutes. However, compared to Baekyhun, his energy is a lot more chill.

✾ He will spend a lot of money on random geeky stuff, filling up the entire shared apartment with figurines, posters and that one Halloween costume that definitely was way too expensive. I can see him being the type to have a hallway full of boxes of stuff he ordered online. He has no idea of what actually is in them because he ordered it impulsively so long ago.

✾ Despite you living in student housing, he will make sure the interior looks stunning. He cares way too much about everything matching and will not allow you to place anything in the house without discussing it with him first. You can’t really be mad at it because your place looks like an Ikea showroom.  

✾ Docking points because he will be either playing music or games at night. Trust me, nothing is worse than having someone practice their instrument when you are trying to sleep (Curse you bongo dude). All you can hear is him practising the same guitar riffs over and over again.

D.O./Kyungsoo: 6.5/10

✾ Listen, his cooking is amazing, it would make being his roommate worthwhile. He will always make enough food for the both of you, and if you do not dine together, he will leave his leftovers for you in the fridge to try. He genuinely enjoys cooking for others and is happy to try out new recipes on you.

✾ That being said, living with him is more like calmly co-existing in the same space. He will only talk to you when absolutely necessary and it takes him a long while to really open up to you (if he does at all).

✾ He respects your personal space and wants you to respect his, meaning he won’t go out of his way to spend time together. Being roommates does not automatically mean that you have to be/are friends in his book. If you click, that’s neat, but don’t expect him to invite you over for game nights for the first few months.

✾ He is definitely the passive-aggressive roommate that sends you a text over the smallest of things. Why confront you face-to-face when can send you a 2 AM text telling you to pick up that one sock that fell out of your laundry basket?

Kai/Jongin: 6/10

✾ He is an absolute sweetie, do not get me wrong. With his friendly and bubbly personality, he will try his hardest to become friends with his roommates. He will take every initiative to organize roommate events such as game nights, clubbing, etc.

✾ That being said, do not leave him alone in the kitchen, he will definitely accidentally set it on fire and you will be the one that has to clean up because do we really trust him after that? We have all seen his attempts at cooking, it never fails to be a disaster, so guess who is in charge of cooking from then on.

✾ Who needs matching cups and plates? Not you because he has shattered at least one of each set. Do not get too attached to your worldly possessions because Kai will knock them over or drop them on accident.

✾ He genuinely wants to help out with chores but he is so clumsy you still end up doing most of them. You can’t even be mad at him because, well, it is Kai.

Sehun: 2/10

✾ Is he even your roommate? You have no idea, he rarely helps out with anything. He has been so spoiled that he refuses to lift a finger and at this point, you feel brainwashed because he is getting away with it.

✾ If you are younger than him, he will be paying for everything you guys need, so that is a win. If not, be prepared for your bank account to take a massive hit because “the oldest should pay.”

✾ You guys get a lot of free stuff as Sehun knows to subtly let it drop to his friends, mostly Suho, that you guys direly need something. All of his friends basically function as sugar daddies, and neither of you is complaining about the free toilet paper.

✾ The type of roommate that judges your outfits and comments “Are you really going to wear that?” and leaves you on read when you text him about rent. He can be nice but tends to choose violence every time he wakes up. I hope that you’ve got thick skin.

✾ Despite his snarky comments, you know that he genuinely appreciates and cares for you based on how clingy he is. Good luck going clubbing without him. Your phone will keep buzzing with texts asking you when you will be home because he is too scared to sleep without another person present in the house.

[dawntrailing]

(Oh at fair moon's rise Into the night fly Follow the moonlight Fear not what you find)

(O heart's desire Join now our choir For love conspire Go, chase it higher)

Through the silent woods tonight, I am guided by moonlight, For the first time so alone fearing no shadow

Like my mother before me I follow this path Knowing love will find me

She will hear my song tonight (Tonight, full moon rise) Dedicated to moonlight (Clouds part, how she shines) See that I'm a woman grown enough for secrets (Dance as once did I. O daughter of mine)

Like my grandmother before me I know each note every beat, (Go, oh, go, go) Melody mine to keep

(Go, sing now unto the sky) (Girls are born to step into the light)

O wide open midnight sky, please Carry my voice aloft Far away where she waits Lover's moon (Oh, Moon)

Fairest goddess wandering the night In your name we bare our hearts (Songbirds of night) With your grace will our passion take flight (Passion take flight)

We would keep your song alive Shrouded safe in soft moonlight (Silver and white forest moonlight)

Maiden goddess of heavens above In your name we share our hearts (This world we share) With your grace will our prayer become (With you through prayer)

Solace, shelter, hope and love Greater than the tales sing of (Oh, true love) Oh, love

(Songbirds of night, passion take flight Silver and white forest moonlight This world we share with you through prayer Oh, love for you)

[floydstruly]

find me in your heart. (I’m in need of your love)

synopsis: vil looks at you with disdain, his bride, the fairest one of all. That’s not right. The title is rightfully his, he’s never liked you anyways..

cw. not proofread!!! cannibalism, mild depictions of violence, blood, yandere themes (????) idk, obsession, death (vil orders a hit on you sorryy), implied body mutilation, no use of (y/n) or any mention of name, google translated french LOL

note! reine des coeurs means queen of hearts

pairing: rook hunt x gn! reader (slight vil x reader but it’s more of a one-sided hate relationship)

“Till death do us part.”

You smile at him and lean into him–the world is watching, you can feel the burden on you. The crowd, nay, the kingdom cheers when you finally seal, what would hopefully, be a long and prosperous bond between their beloved princess and the prince of another, foreign country. You never notice how Vil stares at you with such loathing–even hesitating to kiss you at the altar.

Nor do you ever quite notice how his groomsman–Rook, stared at you, your figure, with such adoration. His face dusted with a light pink whenever you would talk to him, oh, how he longed for a moment longer with you, his lord’s bride.

Perhaps, in the back of his mind, he hoped that you were his instead.

They’re watching you.

No, they’re watching him–the wayward eyes around the ballroom find their way to Rook dancing with you, or rather, an empty shell of what you’ve become. Vil finds his gaze wandering to the pair of you as well, up upon his throne, taking in the bounty of another successful hunt.

Your white dress torn and tattered, a distant memory of what it once was when you were betrothed to Vil, the flowers placed into your chest where your heart once occupied as if it were merely a broach.

Dressed in red, just as the blood that left Rook’s mouth–trickling down his chin and onto your already stained wedding dress. He swallows, savouring the taste of your heart–beautiful, he smiles at the thought, beautiful to him not to anyone else, for who would find beauty in a dead, humiliated queen?

No longer the fairest.

Rook dips your cold body down, your head limply falling back to meet Vil, his expression full of hatred, disgust, disdain for you beyond words. As do the noblemen, when they catch a glance of their drab queen, they quickly turn away–most of them scurry away like little mice until the ballroom is completely devoid of any life.

You, the heartless; Rook, the reaper, and Vil, the immovable monarch.

He gets ready for the banquet. Brushing powder onto his already pale skin. He smooths down his hair, his clothes–not a single hair out of place or a wrinkle to be seen. He huffs, content with his appearance and asks the reflection in his mirror,

“Who is the fairest one of all?”

And, much to Vil’s dismay, the mirror replies back with your image–a soft smile on your flawed face, he grimaces, but that is the same answer that he’s received ever since your betrothal. He pinches the bridge of his noise in annoyance, and snaps his wrist.

“Please, get that.. thing away from me.” He says it as if he is eating something bitter, which in a way, he is. The mirror obliges, fizzling your image away as he falls delicately into the cushion of his seat, still frustrated but never losing his composure–it’s fine, he insists, because you will come to an end today.

He’s absolutely sure of it, his head turns to the window outside–already midnight, he hears the castle bells ring with a low chime, he simply cannot wait for the main event to start.

Rook takes a slow, deep breath and snaps the string back.

The arrow fizzles in the wind, cutting through the air so cleanly–as if it wasn’t even there to begin with and with a sharp snap, it passes into the glass window. It shatters into pieces, blows into your room. The tip of the arrow digs itself into the backboard of the bed, pining some of your hair in place–just barely missing.

To anyone else, they would assume it was but a mere slip of a finger, but of course, with all those years (albeit bitter ones) with Vil and Rook, you knew that the huntsman never missed. He aimed with deadly accuracy, more akin to the grim reaper praying on their next soul to drag to the underworld.

You have to go, quick–scrambling to leave, you forget to even put on shoes, opting instead to allow the glass shards to piece through the skin of your feet. Blood, there's blood, you don’t feel a thing. Your breathing quickens, no longer alone, you feel the eyes of a predator that is rapidly approaching.

Rook shivers when he sees your face glancing up in his general direction, but never quite knowing where he truly was, he must admire your fear up close–to see a prey at their most vulnerable is thrilling, beautiful even.

He will finish this hunt in a most beautiful way, rest assured.

“Where are you going?” His voice is quaint and quiet, his hand by your waist and his other holding your arm up in a waltzing motion. You feel his breath fanning against your neck before you can even react, “Reines des Coeurs.”

You hold your breath, wincing everytime he twirls your body around, dancing among the field of blades that was once your bedroom, the only place you felt at ease. Without the eyes of the kingdom looking up at you, desperate for guidance.

“Allow me one last dance.” An arrow straight to your heart, the last thing you feel is his teeth digging into the flesh of your neck, then there’s red everywhere–very fitting for the queen of hearts.

“What was it you said, Reine des Coeurs? That’s right, till death do us part.”

He can feel your flesh in his mouth. Exhilarating. Never wandering too far, you’ll always be with him in spirit. His, finally.

It was all but quiet, the soft taps of Rook’s heels on the blood-stained ballroom floor intertwined with yours, more dull, more heavy steps. Vil crossed his legs, his eyes fixed on you.

“Have you had your share of fun yet?” Vil asks, his patience wearing thin when he taps the armrest of his throne hurriedly, “it’s well past midnight, I’d like my beauty sleep.”

“Not quite,” Rook answers, “please, allow me one kiss.” he continues to talk to you as if you could respond, your mangled yet beautiful body within his grasp simply beckons him closer and closer, surely, you wouldn’t mind.

And so he kisses you, the taste your blood in his mouth is metallic, yet, he finds is addicting. Forever his, for as long as your spirit wanders the earth, for as long as your heart is inside him, for as long as your blood flows with his.

His.

Hours in the Moonlight Master-List

I panted as I sprinted down the alleyway, leading the vampire further away from the crowds of people and to a more secluded place.

It hadn’t taken long for it to find me after Rook had dropped me off at the place where the most murders had been reported. And, true to his promise, Rook had slipped off to some place where I couldn’t see him, but I had no doubts that he was still nearby. Ready should the moment come that I needed aid.

Vil’s necklace bounced against my collarbone, reminding me of why I was here as I skidded around a corner and whirled, my hand shoving its way into my bag and finding one of the stakes that lay there.

All I had to do was plunge the piece of wood directly into the vampire’s chest, where a beating heart would rest in a living person, and that would be that.

I backed up three more steps, giving myself room should the vampire launch at me just as it had when it had appeared from the shadows out of nowhere what seemed like mere seconds ago. 

It had taken almost all my willpower not to scream at the vampire right then and there, but I’d been training for this. If I was going to be the next ‘Hunter’ then this had to be done.

I steeled myself, hearing its hurried footsteps and grimacing slightly. It hadn’t taken the vampire very long at all to pick up those mustard seeds that I’d strewn to buy myself some time. 

I was just lucky that it was more clumsy now that the disease had fully possessed it and robbed it of its senses. Especially with how big it was.

If its ears were anything to go by, it had been a were-beast before it had been bitten. Something like a monkey, judging from its tail.

I tightened my grip on my stake as it rounded the corner, letting out a snarl before it dove at me. 

I hurriedly raised my weapon, ready to plunge it forward, only for something else to fall from the sky. Landing on the creature's shoulders and flattening it to the ground.

The man slowly straightened, rolling up into a standing position as feline ears on his head twitched and a long tail whipped around angrily behind him before he looked over his shoulder with a low growl, “Go.”

It was an order. A firm one that actually sent me stumbling backwards a few steps as I stared back into the bright summer green eyes that glared at me before I came to a stop.

I didn’t know who this man was, but, werewolf or not, I wasn’t just going to flee and abandon what I’d come here to do.

Even if it was an unpleasant prospect at best, that had already caused my heart to climb into my throat before it slid back down into my chest, where it belonged, as I’d forced myself to remain calm.

I shook my head, tightening my grip once more on the stake as the vampire beneath the man began to shift with a low hiss, “No. You should run, I’ll-”

“You’ll go.” The moonlight caught on the large fangs in the man’s mouth, causing me to go still again as my eyes widened. 

He was another vampire. But if that were the case……

My thoughts were shattered to a billion pieces by the yowl let out by the other vampire as it gave a wild swing, and the man was forced to jump off it, landing in front of me with an annoyed-sounding grunt.

It sat up, hissing lowly but weakly, and I watched as the man’s ears twitched once more, “Listen. Just calm down, you great idiot.”

I inhaled slightly as I realized he was talking to it, almost like he was trying to soothe it despite his annoyance. 

I swallowed thickly as I watched him slowly step closer, cautious and untrusting even as he ordered the creature to listen to him.

But if he was a vampire, then he most certainly didn’t want to kill it. No, this man, whoever he was, probably wanted to save this crazed vampire.

But was that even possible? So far as I knew, once a vampire went insane there was no way of bringing them back from that.

The monkey vampire’s eyes darted around, and it twitched in a way that spoke of there being something deeply wrong with it. It let out a feeble hiss, but its movements slowed as the other, more feline man continued to approach it carefully.

But then, in an instant, the monkey vampire’s entire demeanor changed. What had been a slowly calming expression morphed back into a mask of rage, and it dove at the man.

I gasped and jumped forward, slamming into the more feline man and knocking him sideways in time for the other vampire to sail over our heads. Landing with an enraged howl behind us.

 I hurriedly looked over my shoulder at the crazed vampire, only for the other man to let out a curse before he pushed me off him and jumped up. Standing over me as he somehow managed to catch the other vampire mid-leap.

It hissed and snapped at him as he held it off of both of us, his own tail whipping wildly as he strained against the maddened creature. Somehow holding it aloft despite the fact that its entire body weight rested on his arms.

It was more instinct than anything when I stood, still half cowering under the feline vampire as I shoved the stake upwards and into the other vampire’s chest. 

I immediately grimaced at the sickening sound the wood made as it entered the vampire’s body, shoved in deeper by the way the vampire thrashed where it was held rather than by my own personal strength. 

The vampire let out a yowl of pain, and the man threw it away from him, and it landed hard on the ground with another scream that caused me to flinch.

Rather than reacting to it, though, the man looked back down at where I was, still half propped under him from where he’d shielded me when he caught it. 

I looked up at him, meeting his gaze as I fought to catch my breath and control my trembling.

He looked like he couldn’t figure out what I was trying to do or why I was here. But I couldn’t worry about him at the moment.

I gulped and pushed myself forward, realizing that I still had to finish the job. I had to make sure that vampire was dead. And now I had to do so with an audience.

I somehow managed to approach the vampire without stumbling, looking down with a grimace as I knelt. Feeling my necklace slip out from under my shirt and dangle freely in the air as I did exactly what Rook had told me and finished driving the stake into its body so that it fully pierced the vampire, even though I barely had the strength to do so.

Rook’s concerns about my ability to actually power a stake into the creature's unbeating heart had been perfectly accurate. It was a struggle, and I wouldn’t be able to rely on that in the future. At least not without getting a lot stronger.

The very second the stake penetrated the vampire’s already-dead heart, it disintegrated before my very eyes. Leaving me kneeling over a pile of ash with a stake still clutched in my trembling hands until I let go. Letting the piece of wood fall to the ground with a thud that didn’t sound nearly heavy enough in light of what I’d just done. 

I slowly stood and turned, looking towards the vampire, who still stared at me as a strange sense of adrenaline warred with my need to look calm. 

I knew nothing about this man or how he would react to what I’d just done., but I knew that, at the very least, I needed to look like I knew what I was doing.

At odds with my desperation to appear calm and unbothered, the man simply stood there and stared at me. His arms crossed as he watched me stand over what remained of the very creature... No… Man, he had tried to save.

“You’re the new hunter,” It wasn’t a question. No, it was a statement. He was identifying me with my new job in an incredibly blunt tone that offered no alternatives.

And I swallowed thickly before nodding, finding it far more difficult than I'd expected to accept this duty. 

I’d known that it would be hard, but now… Now that I was standing over the ashes of a fallen vampire while facing another one who gazed at me with an indefinable expression… Now it was beyond difficult.

Silence stretched between me and the young man as I waited. Waited for him to say something, even though I didn’t know what his words might be.

I was beyond relieved when that weighty silence was shattered by a familiar, calm, but perhaps wary voice.

“Roi des Lions,” Rook dropped down from the roof of the building behind me with practiced ease. Confirming that he had indeed stayed close to me at all times, just as he’d promised and just like I’d known he would.

He’d no doubt just seen everything that had happened.

The feline vampire’s stare finally shifted away from me and over towards the now-ex-vampire hunter. His gaze became more irritated the very second he looked toward where my friend stood. 

“Rook.” The name was practically spat out before the man seemingly calmed, his expression turning almost amused, “So you got yourself turned.”

“Oui, a mistake on my part,” Rook casually stepped up alongside me, his eyes staying on the feline vampire. But he didn’t seem to be on guard. Maybe slightly wary, but not truly on guard.

The vampire’s gaze flickered back over to where I stood, and he shifted his tone shifting to something that sounded more bored than anything else, “So this is your successor?”

Rook was silent as he looked towards me, his expression unreadable as I swallowed thickly and nodded. “I am… Yes.”

Rook closed his eyes before nodding and looking back towards the vampire, a smile sweeping across his face like there was nothing amiss. Like I hadn’t just murdered a vampire and watched it dissolve into ashes.

“We’re done here and will leave you be. You need not fear, Roi des Lions. Their job is done for the evening.”

Rook’s hand reached out, just barely brushing my back as I nodded, looking away from the feline vampire’s green-eyed stare that continued to drill into me. Like he was looking for something, or perhaps waiting for something just as I had been.

But I couldn’t blame him. It was beyond obvious that I hadn’t been entirely prepared to take that vampire’s life. I might have the know-how…. But I hadn’t been truly mentally prepared to kill.

I couldn’t back down now, though. Not when this was the path I’d chosen.

I stepped away from Rook’s side and knelt, collecting the stake that had been lying in the pile of ashes on the ground.

 My fingers curled almost numbly around the wood before I straightened and turned to see the two men staring at me. 

Rook, with an expression that spoke of something akin to sympathetic sadness. The other man, with an expression that was a careful mask that was no doubt perfectly engineered to hide his true thoughts.

The first one to move was the feline vampire, though. “I’ll tell the others of your debut,” He glanced at me almost pointedly before walking away, his long tail swaying behind him as he disappeared into the night.

“Does that mean he’s going to tell the other clans about me?” Rook nodded silently at my words as he stared into the darkness where the other man had disappeared.

“What was he doing here, Rook? I thought vampires would never kill their own kind for succumbing to the disease. And it seemed more like he was trying to help him than anything else… but is that even possible?” Rook shook his head at my questions, the feather in the hat that he’d donned upon becoming a vampire bouncing with the motion.

“I don’t know Trickster, but it is something I am most curious about,” There was a glint to his eyes as he continued to stare into the darkness, in a way that gave me the distinct feeling that he really, really wanted to follow the man.

But instead of trotting off after the unfamiliar vampire, Rook looked my way with a slight smile, “Come, let us go back to the hotel and report your success.”

I faltered almost immediately at his words. Stopping myself before I even took the first step to follow, causing Rook to turn to look back at me expectantly.

“I- I think I might actually just head back to my place. I’m kind of tired after all of the excitement,” I let one arm slip behind my back, and my fingers grip my other arm tightly as I balked at the thought of going to the hotel where Vil and Epel waited.

It wasn’t that I was afraid. It was just that I wasn’t quite ready to face anyone after what I’d just done.

So I plastered on a smile and waved Rook on, “You go ahead and tell Epel and Vil about everything. I’ll be by tomorrow night.”

Rook was fully turned now, frowning at me before approaching and stopping just in front of me, “You are sure, Trickster?”

I bobbed my head convincingly as I smiled, pretending as if nothing were wrong, “Absolutely, I’m just a little tired. That’s all.”

Rook sighed, his gloved fingers reaching out and lightly rubbing against my cheek, startling me with the motion as he continued to gaze at me with a saddened expression. “I know it is hard, Trickster. But you mustn’t hurt yourself for what you have done. Believe me, as horrible and cruel as it may have seemed, it was a kindness. That vampire had already lost sight of himself long ago due to the disease.”

I swallowed at his words, which honed directly into what had been going through my mind ever since that vampire had turned to ashes.

Was this really the right thing to be doing, and was it really the only way though?

I forced myself to relax and let my arms hang at my sides once more.

I inhaled slightly before letting my hand cover his own before I nodded, “I… understand, and thank you. But I would still like to head back home. I really am tired, and…” I trailed off as words failed me since I wasn’t entirely sure of what to say. 

I didn’t exactly want to be alone, but I also wasn’t sure I wanted to go back to the hotel. I wasn’t sure I could face Epel and Vil after having just killed one of their own.

But Rook simply nodded, accepting all of my confusion with a grace that was so innately natural to him, “I understand, Trickster. But should you need to talk to someone, do not hesitate to come. None of us will turn you away.”

I smiled at his words, nodding again before stepping away from him, “Thanks, Rook.”

Okay, okay, midnight fuckin furious time, the RoP finale, the "made you my queen" saurondriel bullshit, let us talk about how fuckin misogynistic and totally disrespectful to how tolkien portray his female characters.

So. On first look, it actually sounds like Tolkien right? They even use the exact same line from FoTR, right? (instead of the dark lord you would have a queen, stronger than the foundation of the earth bit)

but it is so not. Why? Because RoP galadriel didn't say that line. Sauron fuckin did. In the book, that whole scene of her resist the temptation of the ring is a show of her own ambition, how she fight her own demon, and how she reject that demon and chose true wisdom. But in RoP, it is all the man' wish, it has nothing to do with her, "I alone can see you greatness!" I puke at that line, Amazon i sincerely ask you do you know who galadriel is???? The fairest of the house of finwe, the one with the greatest achievement among the noldor except feanor, the lady of light, and you think she needs sauron to tell her her greatness, her value, her potential??????? Also, in the book, her ambition is to be her own queen, not sauron's queen, i don't need to tell you the big difference between a queen regnant and a queen consort right?????

with this plus the show's beginning with her character's initiative changed from "to rule a land of her own" to literally pointless vengeance for Finrod (hey dude is literally walking peacefully with their father in valinor why would he even need that), the two writers(some context: they are devout mormons.) took away all that made galadriel unique and great, and the approach itself is extremely misogynistic, also the change of the role of being seduced by sauron from Celebrimbor to galadriel, shows that they can't bare the tiniest hint of homosexuality (context again: they are mormons), and the impact of this change kinda make you feel like: omg it's all the woman's fault! If she hasn't stir things up everything will be fine! No? Just me? Really? (ps i don't even want to talk about the female elves maidens whose heads are entirely covered serving in silence)

Trick or treat!!! 🎃

AHHH YESSS!!! And a treat for you, fairest Jamie!

A headcanon and an accompanying snippet from a thing I'm working on

The Headcanon: Scrooge has The Most Fucked Sleep Schedule In Recorded History.

The snippet:

Mrs. Beakley was just finishing up her nightly cleaning of the manor. She always did the family room last, and tonight, even though it was well after midnight, she could still hear video-game noises coming from the room. "Are the children still playing that game?" she asked herself, making a mental note to have a word with Della about not letting her children stay up all night again. However, the voice she heard didn't belong to any of the kids. And it wasn't Donald or Della either. "Aha! Take that, ye wee blaggarts!" "What on earth���?" Beakley was confused. No. There was no way. It couldn't have been… She opened the door and entered almost silently.

There, sitting cross-legged on the floor, a tartan blanket around his shoulders, his top hat slightly crooked, his pince-nez spectacles gleaming with the reflection from the TV, and an unrivalled fire in his eyes, was- "Mr McDuck?" There came the sound of an explosion from the TV, coupled with the evil laughter of a very pixellated villain. "BAH! What the blazes are ye doin' here, Beakley?!" Scrooge snapped, turning around as the words "You Died" flashed on the screen; he had been this close to besting Captain Cuckoo before the housekeeper barged in unannounced and distracted him. For a moment, Beakley's rote-learned response of "I'm finishing off my nightly cleaning, sir" vanished from her consciousness completely, and she just stood there in abject confusion. "Sir…" Beakley began slowly, not sure what to make of this, "Are you aware that it's twenty minutes past midnight?" "I'm trying to beat Della's record," Scrooge told her, "I've been going since half past six, and I intend to go on till morning!"

Happy Halloween!!!
