Ballister going “what, you think I’m her favorite?” is a funny line but after seeing the whole movie and rewatching it again the line just feels so sad considering the fact that the Director, at that point, had fully orchestrated his framing. And then it got me thinking about how little she cares about both Bal and Ambrosius. They’re just tools, weapons, cogs in the Institute’s machine. And as soon as one stops working or she doesn’t see them fit, she gets rid of them. Ballister was probably supposed to die during his framing, that Jumbotron falling and letting him escape wasn’t apart of her plan. She literally tried to murder “Ambrosius” as soon she thought he was questioning her. And they LOOKED UP TO HER. I love how much I hate the director hhhgh

Open TBB Prompt Requests!!

I saw your post about the TBB Prompt request and want to suggest one. This is an idea from another post I saw earlier today.

Word Count: 1500

Pairing: Sibling Omega and Crosshair

Category: Fluff and Hurt/Comfort

Two parts, two quotes.

Part 1 is from the end of Season 2 with Omega finding Crosshair.

Emerie tries to get Omega away from Crosshair, eventually causing Omega to protectively lie next to him and say "I won't leave until he wakes up"

Part 2, Crosshair finds Omega unconscious on a Guerny after she was tested to exhaustion by Nala Se.

Nala Se tries to get Crosshair away from Omega, and eventually Crosshair shields Omega with his body while saying "I won't leave until she wakes up"

I hope this isn't too much for you. You can contact me if you would like any changes.

Part one[Half one]: I'm Not Leaving

current word count: 346

Emerie tries to take Omega from Crosshair

Warnings: Guns

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Omega was in shock, she stared at Emerie who tried to pry her from Crosshair's unconscious body, Omega dodged and fought with Emerie who eventually tried to pick her up. Omega went limp in Emerie’s arms, causing her to drop Omega. She curled up next to Crosshairs bed, sobbing as she tried to process what was going on. “Omega, you need to trust me.��� “How can I!? You’re hurting him!” Omega snapped, turning to look at Crosshairs motionless body “He’s fine, just come with me.” Omega shook her head and ran to the opposite side of the table, laying her upper body down on Crosshair “I won't leave, till he wakes up..” Omega hissed, holding tightly to Crosshair. She glared defensively at Emerie until she eventually gave up “Fine, stay here. If you wont help we have no use for you.” she growled, rolling her eyes at the young clone

After Emerie left, Omega looked at Crosshair, shaking him softly “Crosshair!” she said, shaking him. When he didn’t respond, she looked around at the control panel. Seeing which button might release him

“Cmon, Cmon!” Omega cried, she missed Tech. He would know what to do. “There!” she whispered, looking around before unlocking him from the table. “Crosshair…?” she stared at him as he slowly shuffled awake “hhhgh..?” Crosshair grumbled “what…?”

“Crosshair!” Omega cheered, hugging him tightly. Crosshair sat up, confused and slightly dizzy “what's going on” “The empire was holding you here, I think they had you in a temporary coma” Omega shrugged, Crosshair walked rigidly across the room to grab him weapons and armor “we’ve gotta get out of here..” he growled, taking Omega by the hand, putting on his helmet on and looking down to her. Omega nodded eagerly. As they made their way through the complex, Crosshair looked down to Omega “why'd they bring you here, anyway. Where is everyone?” “I… don’t know, I just remember everything going black..” “Well that's lovely.” Crosshair growled, shaking his head. Omega stared at him, confused but didn’t say anything. She was just happy he was okay

Favorite animatronic and why??

Oh boy

(I know I promised that i'll post that character tier list, i didn't forget, i swear! It will hopefully be up around christmas if everything goes right)

Chief, honestly, there's no definite favorite

That title is tossed around between four people, them being Golden Freddy, the Puppet, Circus Baby and Ennard

Goldie was my very first favorite, i was so drawn in by their mysteriousness and unsettling presence throughout the first few games, i just wanted to know more. My fondness for them just grew stronger when the Golden Duo theory entered the fandom space, and UCN solidified it even to another level. Even if it's just Cassidy residing in them, their unwavering resolve to punish William for all eternity, never letting him go, having him experience a fraction of what he put them and the other kids through. While never finding peace themselves, because it will never be enough- hhhgh good. Very good. Also i know some people characterize them as selfish because they only cared about revenge, but it never felt like that to me. (Stares in Golden Eyes theory) They cared... i know they did..

(j-gems and MD-PTV's portrayals of them mean everything to me, i could rant about them too all day)

Oh Puppet, my dearly beloved. Not gonna lie, i was lowkey very disturbed by them when i was younger. Can i just start with their design? It's wonderful, peak character design. Gosh... i adore them so terribly. For everything they represent and how they never abandoned the MCI. God dammit, I love Charlie so much too! They're technically the same- Even after making the wrong decision of bringing all the kids back to life and failing (Stares in Candy Cadet five keys story), she stayed by them and still tried to help them however she could. Ghhhgghg the selflessness and protectiveness in this 6 foot + sock monkey, it's killing me- Okay but i'm also so crazy about the fact that Charlie just straight up doesn't resent and fear William anymore, she just wants him to not intervene with her plans, damn (Well... this is only true if UCN is not 100% Cassidy's making, another can of worms, anyways-)

I need her to come back so bad, Steel Wool, where is she-

Everyone is wrong about Baby, Jesus Christ on a boat. She's like.... one of the most crucial characters in the whole franchise! In some cases, miles better than any of the other antagonists. But MAN, did everyone, including the books did her dirty (I know, Silver Eyes is not directly connected to the games, but sadly most fans treated it as such and i think the aftermath really damaged her image for others, goddamn you SE-) Before i lose it let me mention, i love her voice so much, it's such a perfect balance between comforting and unnerving. Oh your honor, THE LAYERS! The layers nobody seems to care about, it's pissing me off. (Mostly) everyone misunderstood her intentions in Pizzeria Simulator and i haven't felt peace since then, no joke- like you would think AT LEAST ONE of the more popular theorists would just say "hey what if she was just pretending to be on William's side to gain his trust and get closer to him" BUT NO?? Because that doesn't make sense after what she did to Michael THINKING he was William, oh my goddd, I'm so sorry Lizzie, I'm sorry that no one gets it- Pizzaria Sim was a nice session of Bang! (the card game), we had our bandits (being Michael, Molten Freddy and Lefty), we had a sheriff (being William) then we had a renegade. The renegade earns the sheriff's trust by acting like they're the deputy, their objective is to be the last one standing, even if it gets the outlaws killed. But they're ultimately on the bandits' side, because their goal is also to kill the sheriff- IT'S LITERALLY HER, GHHHHH. She's so tragic and so wasted away, i feel bad for her but can't forgive her but at the same time understand why she does the things she does and and and

I am SO NORMAL about Ennard, your honor (lie). I would like to blame (thank) j-gems and MD-PTV for the absolute clownery you guys have to witness in the coming weeks or months, they turned the already existing strong fondness into... hm, mind worms. Like holy smokes, j-gems's Ennard, I love that guy, it's making me look stupid. (He makes me crazy i can't stress this enough, he's so fun but still freaking threatening at the same time, man-) With MD-PTV's version, while i prefer separate personality Ennard over the complete hive mind, I really adore the Funtimes' dynamic in there (and how tragic it is that they just want to find peace and rest...... if only it wasn't also Mrs Afton Ballora-) This pile of wires has no business looking as sick as he does, genuinely. Scott COOKED with this design, and I shall be forever grateful. The whole gaslighting body snatcher concept too, it was so good, they had to pass it over to Fazbear Frights AND the Mimic, it's kind of funny. My poor fella is unfortunately so underutilized, like, I love Molten Freddy, i don't want to replace him at this point, BUT GOD ENNARD SHOULD HAVE STAYED THEMSELVES I WILL FOREVER MOURN WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN (not that i don't appreciate the MCI and Charlie both "becoming" bears to oppose the rabbit thematic detail, i could ALMOST forgive them for that). Like seriously, imagine an alternative universe where they actually gave him a personality other than the small characterizations in Help Wanted, that isn't just Baby dominating the body basically, hell- Kellen could have voiced him too, IMAGINE!

(Also i just see so much potential in the separate personality of his character, always viewed him and Baby as the twisted parallels to Goldie and the Puppet, but i'm gonna save that rant for another post)

(Also also i'm a huge fan of fics where him and Michael live together or just put their differences aside to find Will- The beautiful contrast of the serial killer bozo becoming an actual murder machine while the machine learns to become human, we love to see it)

I'm sorry, i could go on but i'm getting real sleepy, hope this isn't too incomprehensible

Today’s adventures in the land of Faerûn! (Spoilers!)

I finished Shadowheart’s quest. Tbh I was not at all expecting her parents to be alive. Sharran schemes for emotional twists sure are weirdly elaborate, but tbf they worked. Poor sweet Shadowheart, I got misty eyed!

(I wanted laugh that her original name was basically fantasy Jennifer but then I felt bad again when she mentioned she didn’t even know how to spell it. Hhhgh.)

I also killed Gortash just now and listened to Karlach’s lament and now I’m actually sobbing. Karlach!! I’m sorry!!! Nooooo!

I am mildly concerned about the ratio of tragedy porn to happy ending I’m heading toward. Either way it’ll be an incredible story, but, mmmmm. I already spoiled myself on the choice between the Emperor and Orpheus (to decide if a trip to the House of Hope for the hammer was worthwhile), and based on what I read it seems like I already have to choose between keeping Lae’zel and uhhhh, some or all of us not becoming mindflayers? Which is a hell of a situation to put me in? I love Lae’zel but fuck. Goddamn. I’ve worked too hard for my little tiefling and co. to get tentacles now.

I also found out after the fact that the only happy ending for Karlach depends on Wyll keeping his shitty pact with Mizora?? I recommended he end his pact on the reasoning of, y’know, there was no telling what awful thing Mizora was going to tell him to do next. I realize he’s big into self-sacrifice, but it felt weird to tell him “subject yourself to the unpredictable whims of this devil even more, you aren’t sacrificing yourself hard enough already.” Argh!

I suppose I can’t expect to get everything I want (a perfectly happy resolution for every companion). My wishful thinking idea for what I’d like to do for the ending (which I’m definitely inferring will not be possible) would be to control the elder brain, but just to command it to keep the tadpoles stable/neutralized. Nobody becomes a squid, I don’t become a power-thirsty tyrant, and Astarion could keep enjoying the sunlight. We’d all be vaguely uneasy about the huge dangerous brain chained up in the basement but also my Tav is a sage and she kinda wants to study it!

That kind of resolution would be entirely too convenient though, and I’m sure it won’t be allowed because the option to control the brain seems to only be brought up in the context of becoming a supervillain with it, so. And I guess it kind of follows that there aren’t a lot of ‘middle-road’ choices because that tells a less powerful story? I guess?

It feels like the choices are just gonna get harder. And sure! They feel meaningful! But, I wonder if I’m gonna be able to go through the story again knowing I can’t save them all? (Probably)

[cipherr]

hang on let me bow down real quick

[gcrifin]

     Thick air, laden with that familiar draft scent. It pours from the bar like a dense, transparent fog, riddled with sweat and heat from mouthbreathers and homebrewed yeast. Fresh, of fair quality, but limited. But in the cloud ridden with hot breath and cigarette smoke is a sweet, almost dangerous scent that pulls the senses away from the familiarity and towards a daring abnormality. It is a clean corner; solitary, silent. Away from the bustle and drunken slurs of words and laughter. It is a place people dared not tread, as if claimed by a beast pretending to be chained to the wall by its neck. But there were no beasts, no monsters, that lured her sweet, sunshine smile like the saccharine ones clad in disdain .

    A barrel like a feather with a slosh of life against wood. Lulubelle feels the weight of the liquid against the curl of her arm around it. Entertained eyes peeking slyly over their shoulder enough to chuckle as patrons watch her stroll up like a babe to a doghouse. Disbelief, shakes of the head, some returning to merriment as though they can’t bear to watch her get torn apart. But there is no fear in the woman’s face. A joy like a naively painted expression of fingerprints carries her over with a carefree grace that doesn’t cease when the barrel hits the floor. Up on tip toes, a flick of the thighs, the table creeks only mildly beneath the weight of her form. Her inquiry flies free and she doesn’t so much as face him as he answers her. Dull rag to tankard, quickly but effectively, leaving it as spotless as the day it was crafted. A small gaze into the grainy tin face and she finds it a suitable spot on the table ── his table. Their table .

      ❝ Are you that full of rage, being there as you are ? ❞ honeyed like the smell that pulled her over. She doesn’t so much mock his words as she does relay them evenly kittenish and concerned. Green eyes turn ‘round and up to his face with a smile more befitting a fun-loving patron of a bar. The glint of dim bar lights leave much to be desired, just enough to shine in her eyes and brighten what little highlights dared cast on his face. More wandering eyes, soft whispers. Men grinning cheshire grins like their dreams of a violent fantasy would soon be a reality, as if they knew what she didn’t .

     Still, the griffin bears no remorse. No sense of crisis. She remains ignorant of all but the alcohol at her feet and the imposing figure at her back. Exposed, like prey unsuspecting. She doesn’t care. ❝ Oh, sir, you’re no fun. Sitting alone... but I do so admire your prudence . ❞ // the beast bears its sweet teeth //: @jyargal​ continued { ♕ }

Eat your heart out Stanford Pines.mp4

HERE IT IS, AT LONG LAST...THE FRUITS OF MY LABOR...

I feel Big Accomplish bc this is the first big project I've ever finished! ...In a timely manner! It took about 2 weeks? Which is a RECORD for me LMAO

I know it's not the whole song but I didn't want to commit myself to that (and tbh the beginning doesn't fit the Stans as well as the end, which is why I chose to do just the last minute or so :'D) and I also cut out the part where Spinel sings "She doesn't exist now, survived by her son, and all of her brand new friends" bc. Yeah doesn't really work with it either hhhgh

I really liked Spinel's whole transformation back into her more "bitter" self at the end of the song and I wanted to have Stan do that too;; so I thought of this as like, a situation where Stan's reverted to a younger age, but he remembers Ford abandoning him and his hard years on the road and that's what triggers him into turning back into his current self. (But, Mabel and Dipper love him despite everything!! And that's what really matters!!)

Anyway I had a lot of fun doing this, especially with how angsty it turned out :3cccc I've got more GF/SU animatics planned! With much happier songs lol don't worry

I HOPE YOU ENJOY, HAVE FUN CRYING 👀

30 Day Mass Effect Challenge: Day 9

9. Favorite romance?

Alright everyone it’s time to fucking cry.

Garrus and Femshep just HHNFGHHN they make me HNRHGhHH I love them.

Let me break down each part of their romance and why I (and like the entirety of the Mass Effect fandom) love it so much.

I already talked about Garrus’s relationship with Shepard in my “Day 5: Favorite Character” post, so I’ll refrain from repeating myself too much here. The bottom line is that Garrus is Shepard’s most loyal and trusted ally and that “There’s no Shepard without Vakarian” is one of the few good things to come out of ME3 (which, again, I will not really be including in this discussion).

When Shepard responds to Garrus’s story about him easing tension with a recon scout years ago (probably back when he was a teenager during his compulsory military service) with a proposed plan to test his “reach” and her “flexibility”, he doesn’t even realize what she means, at first; he thinks that she’s referring to sparring. Why? Because he doesn’t think that she would want him. It seems like he might get the idea that she’s propositioning him, but he can’t bring himself to believe it because he thinks it’s impossible. When she clarifies (and possibly confirms his suspicions), he is surprised at first, but recovers quickly and expresses that he is very much interested in ”blowing off steam” with her. It makes you wonder whether or not Garrus would have ever made a move onto Shepard, had she never expressed interest him first, since he is obviously attracted to her. The reason he provides as to why he is interested is because he respects her more than anyone in the galaxy. Their relationship is built off of mutual trust and respect and Garrus is acknowledging it; he doesn’t say, “Well, sure, Shepard! I think you’re really hot and I would love to bang you”. That’s really important, as it shows how deep their companionship is. This exchange between them is very quick, but it’s intimate nonetheless. 

Look at how he backs up when she walks by him and completely keeps his eyes on her. He looks like he’s wondering if he’s actually dreaming hhnngh he’s just in absolute shock

The next time he talks to Shepard in the Main Battery, he seems nervous. He says that he’s been thinking about what they had agreed to, and that he wonders if they’re crazy for even considering having an inter-species hookup. Even though different-species relationships seem fairly common in the galaxy, Garrus is still bewildered by the idea and states that “cross-species intercourse” isn’t something that he would normally consider. Here’s the thing, though: he’s not questioning whether or not he would enjoy sleeping with Shepard (though he does seem to be considering their compatibility and whether or not they could “make it work”) - he’s wondering why Shepard would ask him as opposed to someone who is a bit more like her. Shepard sees that he’s sort of doubting himself and she assures him so gently and warmly that he’s the one that she wants and it’s fucking adorable (especially if you play Shepard to have a lot of Renegade moments, as seeing her be a total badass who is almost sadistic when it comes to punishing her enemies to then seeing her be so gentle and soft with Garrus is just insanely cute). When she tells him that she wants him, he suddenly seems to gain some of his confidence back despite still being very flustered. 

An important thing to note here is that he uses humor to hide his nervousness and says that if their “steam-blowing” goes well, it’ll be something to cherish, but if their anatomical differences end up making things awkward, fighting the Collectors would be a “welcome distraction”. I’ll bring this back up again later.

So Shepard gives Garrus an opportunity to back out of the plan if he’s feeling uncomfortable (which is very thoughtful of her. She doesn’t want him to feel pressured and wants to make sure he’s completely okay with sleeping with her. She really cares about how he feels), but he refuses to. Again, he brings up how important their companionship is to him and tells her that the matter at hand has nothing to do with a “fetish for humans” - meaning that while he is obviously attracted to her, he’s not sleeping with her just because she’s an attractive human female - it’s about him and Shepard using this opportunity to be close and intimate. This is when he starts to hint that he has deep feelings for her, but he approaches her with it very subtly because he doesn’t want to chase her away with his feelings. He almost seems conflicted: “Do I tell her and risk making things awkward, or do I keep my mouth shut and risk never knowing if she feels the same way? I’ll compromise and drop subtle hints.”

It’s kind of hard to tell with the way the camera moves, but she’s stroking his chest as she smiles fondly at him while he kinda sorta lets it slip that she has all of his uwus. Talk about pure-yet-intimate. 

It’s hilarious to see Garrus’s composure slip when he catches himself making an unintentionally dirty pun (”You know me, I always like to savor the last shot before popping the heat sink”). This entire romance is just filled with hilarity. 

Shepard says that she’ll let him get back to work, and he jokes about how he’s all hot and bothered by talking about sleeping with her and that he can’t focus on his calibrations because he’s too horny. She just grins like a goofball at him as she backs away dramatically and waves goodbye.

His final dialogue with Shepard in the Main Battery before the suicide mission is where he finally starts to make it clear that he loves her. He doesn’t try as hard to hold himself back anymore, he just up and says that he wants to give “cross-species intercourse” a try with her out of all people and that he wants to spend his final moments with her and only her before they possibly all die in the suicide mission. He still flounders around a bit when she reciprocates his enthusiasm, probably because he’s still in shock that she even wants to sleep with him, and Shepard continues to tease him in good nature. Their relationship is just… so healthy and good and pure… hhhgh

AND THEN. THE SCENE BEFORE THE OMEGA 4 RELAY

As Shepard is taking a shower and gettin ready for Garry, he’s literally standing there waiting for her with a bottle of wine AND HE LOOKS SO NERVOUS LIKE HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT TO DO HHH

and then he like jogs up to the stereo system and plays the same cheesy club music that he had made fun of in the previous game. Yes, when he said that he’ll “find some music” for them to bang to, that’s what he had in mind AND SHE CALLS HIM OUT FOR IT BY SHAKING HER HEAD IN AMUSEMENT 

AND HE’S STILL PRETENDING THAT HE’S ALL SUAVE. HE’S LIKE “C’mon Shepard I’m a natural seducer, look at my strut. Lemme smash”

Shepard is so humored by the whole thing. It’s very wholesome. I love seeing them enjoy themselves like this, especially after Garrus’s recruitment and loyalty missions, which were both very emotionally charged. 

Shepard thinks Garrus’s bad flirting is endearing as he tries to apply his knowledge of turian courtship to his current situation and then immediately regrets it because he worries that he might have said something offensive by human standards (WHOLESOME). She calms him down and assures him that he doesn’t need to worry about impressing her (as if to say “Garrus, it’s me. It’s okay. You’re my best friend, not some random dude that I’m hooking up with. We’ve been through hell together man, relax), and then he immediately starts to confess to her that he wants their two or so hours before almost-certain doom to “go right”.

PAUSE FOR A MOMENT. Remember when I said to hang on to Garrus’s line about how if their “encounter” turned awkward due to their differing anatomy, they could just laugh it off and use the Collectors to keep themselves distracted? Yeah, so that line was a fucking lie. 

Garrus is coming clean to Shepard about his feelings in this final scene. He does want things to go right between them, but he was just too nervous and shy to admit that their time together would mean so much more to him than “blowing off steam”, so he uses humor to cope with it. The best part is, Shepard understands. It almost seems like she can read him because of how well she knows him; she’s aware of how he feels, but she wants him to feel ready enough to tell her on his own. ADORABLE.

LOOK. LOOK HOW GENTLE AND TENDER SHE IS WITH HIM. SHE JUST WANTS TO CALM THE NERVOUS BOY DOWN AND HE’S SO MOVED BY IT THAT HE JUST STOPS TALKING AND LIKE STARES AT HER SO INTIMATELY. IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL. 

She’s not just stroking his face, either; she’s stroking his scars - the ones that he got from an event which almost took his life - as if to comfort him and say “I was there for you back then, and I’m here with you now. I’m glad you’re okay. You’ve been through so much”. I DIE!!!!! I DIE. 

And finally, the famous head-butt of love (the first gif). I’m not sure if touching foreheads is something that turians do to show affection, but since they don’t have lips, it would make sense. Either way, it’s obviously a very affectionate and loving gesture and I cannot handle it. This to me is one of those things in life where I can think about it and immediately feel happiness no matter how bad of a mood I’m in. Do I care that it’s a fictional relationship? Nope, because it’s a very well-written (up to this game, I mean), healthy, believable, and profound relationship, and I think it’s absolutely adorable. I’m not normally into shipping or romance but this?? This is just on a whole other level. Nothing comes close to this. 

A few people feel robbed that the scene fades to black right as Garrus gently grips her shoulder (or something? With flycam enabled, he looks like he’s grabbing her boob, but that’s obviously not what’s supposed to be happening) and that we don’t even see a kiss, but I’m totally fine with it. It’s nonetheless an emotionally charged and wholesome scene and that’s exactly how it should be for them. I’m glad we didn’t get anything sleazy or fanservicey. 

If Garrus is the squad member who starts to fall after Shepard kills the Reaper-Larva thingy, it just fuels the feels. They have each other’s backs :’)

Aaah, yes, and let us not forget the post-ending canoodling. Again, not exclusive to Garrus, but seeing them so content is really euphoric, man. They’ve been through hell and really do deserve each other. 

I really like that their relationship hasn’t changed that much, even after confessing/sleeping together. We don’t ever see them acknowledge being in a committed, official relationship, but I think they do - just offscreen. I know there’s really not much post-main story romance in this game, but they still seem to interact normally. They’re very comfortable with each other; when Shepard goes to talk to him after the suicide mission, he assures her casually (but giddily) that he’s down to keep going with cuddlin and love-makin (aka, “what [they’d] talked about”). There’s nothing super romancey or cheesy, and that suits them (unlike ME3, but I’m not going to ruin this post by talking about that.)

Garrus’s romance being perhaps the most popular in the entirety of Mass Effect isn’t a surprise at all. He and Shepard are such a great match for each other, even with the romance aside. No other relationship fills the heart the way this one does. They build their relationship and really establish that same mutual respect and trust that I keep raving about before they move their companionship into a romantic light, and that’s such a great way to write a romance. 

Wholesome raptor lad and his badass, ass-kicking girlfriend own my heart. 

[myloish]

hhhgh I doubt i’ll find time to write it In Full but i can’t stop thinking about the inevitable Penny Returns But Doesn’t Remember AU, wherein Penny rescues everyone like in the premiere, but there’s just something off about her introduction and how she treats everyone. and ruby’s like, “well, maybe that’s just what being rebuilt does to you.” but the more they see each other the more gratingly strange their interactions are, until Penny admits that, no, she doesn’t have her memories. but she has watched all the footage recorded by her previous self, so even though she technically hasn’t lived it, everything she does is at least still informed by what she’s seen. For example, there once was a Penny who cared for Ruby very deeply, and so now she will care deeply for Ruby as well. Close enough, right?

And then hits the sadness, the angst, the feeling of losing her all over again, the feeling of being tricked but not wanting to take it out on penny 2. and eventually ruby talks about it with pietro, and he’s like, “yeah it’s been hard. and the whole watching all of her memories was just another attempt by us to try and get her aura to come back.” because, surprise, even though he was able to make another iteration of his daughter with the same attitude and mannerisms, he wasn’t able to get her aura to Take, and it makes her extremely frustrated and self-conscious.

so ruby heads back to apologize for being so upset earlier. she and penny talk about how penny feels incomplete without her aura, her memories, lost pieces of her humanity. she feels like she’s a disappointing sequel to her former self, but ruby assures her that that’s not the case. it’s not why she’s upset, ruby holds none of this against her, and she’ll gladly do whatever she can to help her find her aura/memories/self as well. when penny asks what happens if they can’t, ruby assures her that they’ll still be friends, and even if they’re never quite as close, they can still find happiness. she can.

they cry, they hug, and in the moment of morning and closure penny lights up like a firefly. she turns the room a blinding green until blinking it away, and when ruby can see again there’s a depth of love and understanding in penny’s eyes that she hasn’t seen in years. she goes “penny?” and penny nods, and then pounces on her so tight that they fall off of whatever they’d been sitting and tumble down to the floor, half-laughing, half-crying, and partially unable to breathe on ruby’s part until penny finally loosens her grip.

once they’re emotionally stable they decide to go share the good news with everyone else, and after penny offers ruby a hand to help her off the floor, neither girl lets go.

Dream of December

word count: 1073 (wow Lis managed to write a one shot? unreal)

synopsis: in which Jaemin dreams, and a pale ghost guides him home. something like a premonition; takes place before Harana.

a/n: i didn’t want to start off my little Neotober series with something too spooky! while the legends of the yuki-onna vary in their telling, i took on a softer perspective. the y/n in Harana does not make an appearance here.

Jaemin almost never dreams.

 And when he does, his dreams are filled with seas of the neon-green lightsticks of their fans, or of the nights he and the boys have spent in the practice room, dancing till they drop, or the mornings they come into the studio to record for hours on hours. Even in his sleep, he works himself down to the bone.

This time is different.

He marvels at the way his breath passes from his lips in thin clouds, borne upwards by the whispering winter gale lashing against his cheeks. His feet are buried beneath at least three feet of thick snow, but he does not feel the cold. Delighted, he stoops to gather a snowball, packing the frost tightly together in his palms. 

He can’t remember the last time they had time to play in the snow, without restrictions, without it being a photoshoot or promotion.

He hurls the snowball towards nothing in particular, whistling in awe as it disappears into the blur of snowflakes covering the owl gray skies. It doesn’t make a sound when it lands.

Suddenly, an echoing voice addresses him. It carries the melodic lilt of a woman, but crackles oddly, like the syllables are lingering too long in the speaker’s throat.

Hello, traveler.

Jaemin scans his surroundings, alarmed. There is nothing but an empty ivory landscape all around him, slight dips of shadow the only indication that the snow has not fallen in an even layer. At the line of the horizon is a colorless blur, which he cannot see past. “Hello?”

Are you lost?

He looks down at his hands. If this was real, they would have been white from lack of bloodflow. He would have been shivering, teeth chattering, head aching.

“I’m not lost. I’m dreaming.”

The disembodied voice sighs, and then he hears footsteps crunching through the snow. They are so soft that in comparison, his own heartbeat is too loud.

And from the nothingness emerges a woman as pale as moonlight. A silken yukata is draped across her body, colorless as the snow beneath his feet, and her alabaster hair drags behind her like the trail of a wedding dress.

If he was asked if she was beautiful, a “yes” would fall from his lips without a doubt, but there is nothing about her features that he can describe, not with words or gestures, save for her eyes. They are violet like the heliotrope flower, a shockingly bright hue against the whiteness of the winter all around him.

You look lost to me.

She stands before him barefoot and smiling, but there is no warmth in her gaze, no sentiment, no emotion. Those things are human, and she is very clearly not. The smile is a courtesy to him.

“This is my dream,” he tells her. It amazes him, that he is not afraid of her, but this is, after all, not real. “Where did you come from?”

When she speaks, her lips do not move, and he realizes he’s been hearing her voice in his head all this time.

A dream, you say? 

She tilts her head back to laugh, and even though her lips do not move, the sound crashes upon him like a pelting hail. She reaches out to grasp his right hand in hers, and the contact forms a flower of frost on his palm. He shivers, and suddenly he feels all the snow weighing down upon his shoulders and the winter biting at his lungs.

You seem tired. Is that why you sleep so deeply?

He shudders, but she continues to read the lines of his palm, and her grip is like the hold of a dead man. Her eyes stare intently into his skin, like there’s an answer hidden just below the surface in the pulse running through his veins that only she can see.

Ah, I understand. You are weary.

She releases him, and he stumbles back. Warmth rushes back to his fingertips, but a heavy weight settles in his chest, just above his ribcage, crushing his heart. He gasps and falls to his knees. “What did you do to me?”

Nothing. You have just been ignoring your heart in favor of your brain.

Jaemin gulps for air, rocking back onto his heels. “What do you mean by that?”

The woman in white stares down at him with a frown, the same sort of frown an adult wears when a child asks a truly stupid question. 

Do humans still believe that the heart and mind are independent?

He massages his throat.. “No...?”

She crouches before him and studies his expression. Whatever she finds there seems to satisfy her, and suddenly the snowfall ceases, frozen all around them in space. Mesmerized, he touches a snowflake and watches it spin without losing its momentum.

Well, overworking your body will take a toll on your heart.

She stands again, and smiles down at him. This time, it isn’t a formality. She reaches out to touch his shoulder. 

You should be selfish once in a while. Choose yourself over others.

At the place where her hand brushes the snow from his jacket, he feels a tug, a line, pulling him out of the dream. Slowly, it reels him into the air and away from the landscape of endless snow, up into a depthless darkness.

Even the things we love can be heavy if we carry them without rest.

Far below him, he sees her begin to walk away, and the falling snow resumes its descent as she departs. But she pauses at the horizon line, electric eyes glancing back at him. 

When you meet the girl who is too much winter and not enough spring, tell her the same. The two of you do not belong in this place.

She chuckles, and this time it sounds more like the gentle tinkle of raindrops, though her words send ice rippling down his spine.

Do not come back. I will not guide you back next time, little one. 

Jaemin startles awake with a gasp, choking when the seatbelt holds him back from really sitting upright. “Hhhgh--”

Jeno glances over his shoulder at him from the front passenger seat with a snort. “You okay, dude?”

Beside him, Renjun takes out one of his earbuds with a roll of his eyes. “He was having a nightmare.”

“I was?”

“Yeah. Thank Jeno for that. He’s been playing Christmas music the whole time.”

“Wait, why Christmas music? It’s not even Halloween yet. Chuseok hasn’t even passed.”

“It was an accident! I chose the wrong playlist.”

“Right...”

“Are we there yet?”

“Almost.”

“No more Christmas music, okay?”

“No promises.”
