Icarus || one-shot de QSMP
Aviso: menção de sangue e gore leve mais para o final
┅┅┅┅┅┅┅༻❁༺┅┅┅┅┅┅┅
Baghera olhou para o chão, sua mente estava girando a mil, suas asas de pato se contorcendo em suas costas, lágrimas ameaçando cair de seus olhos, seu batimento cardíaco acelerado, ela achou que ia desmaiar.
O sangue manchava o chão de marfim, o quarto estava escuro, apenas a luz que vinha da porta aberta atrás dela iluminando o local, os tapetes e a cama estavam inutilizáveis, o carmim manchava a superfície te tudo, até mesmo de alguns livros jogados no chão sobre as paisagens brasileiras e sobre como se utilizar redstone propriamente. Não muito longe de seus pés, deitado em uma poça de sangue…
Estava seu doce irmão Forever.
As asas antes douradas como ouro e as quais ele se orgulhava tanto não estavam mais presentes em suas costas, desaparecidas, arrancadas. No lugar delas apenas o torso nu e cercado por bandagens, o corpo de seu irmão mais novo subia e descia com respirações fracas e tremidas, soluços escapando de sua boca, ela não conseguia ver seu rosto, mas sabia que ele estava chorando.
Ela continuou a encarar o corpo caído no chão, sem saber o que fazer, o que ela podia fazer? Ela era a mais velha, ela deveria estar consolando seu pobre irmão, mas o medo e o terror a impediam de mover um músculo, ela sabia que se desse mais um passo seus sapatos seriam manchados de sangue e ela não conseguiria mais dormir com esse conhecimento. O que ela podia fazer?
Ela não sabia o porquê, não exatamente ao menos. Sim, Forever costumava achar maneiras de escapar da ilha, ela já havia o avisado que isso era perigoso e nada responsável, mas o garoto mimado nunca aceitava um não como resposta e seu pai nunca fez nada sobre isso, mesmo quando ele fugia desde pequeno para fora do prédio da Federação, o pai deles sempre mandava Cucurucho com ele em vez de deixar o garoto de castigo, então é claro que seu irmão iria achar que não teria problema escapar da ilha.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
"—Tu hermano és terrible —ela lembra projeto El Pato falando.— És como Ícaro.
—Ícaro? —ela perguntou de volta, ela lembra de estar desenhando com projeto Blue Bird no dia, enquanto seu irmão e projeto Golden Duck brincavam com blocos de construção.
—Foi a história que nos contaram recentemente —Blue Bird começou a explicar, enquanto pintava o rosto de Cucurucho, seus desenhos sempre foram os melhores entre todos, ela tinha o talento.— Sobre um homem."
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Ela não sentiu quando Cucurucho parou ao lado dela, apenas quando ouviu sua risada sem emoção que ela acordou de seu transe de olhar para o irmão, ela olhou para os olhos negros e sem brilho do urso, eles a encararam de volta, e ela nunca sentiu tanto medo na vida, suas asas se contorceram por instinto.
A criatura levemente deu tapinhas em seu ombro e apontou com o polegar para o lado de fora do quarto, ela olhou para a porta, onde uma mulher estava parada, uma trabalhadora da Federação, ela não conseguiu marcar o rosto dela, ela nunca conseguia se lembrar dos rostos dos trabalhadores. Ela olhou de volta para Cucurucho, mas ele não estava mais perto de si, em vez disso, avançou em direção ao corpo jogado no chão de seu irmão, as patas descalças pisando no sangue que manchou seus pelos brancos, ele não ligou, e aquela falta de reação fez Baghera querer vomitar.
O urso bem vestido pegou o garoto no colo, as bandagens já completamente manchadas de sangue, precisando ser trocadas, Forever pareceu choramingar, ele chutou um pouco mas não tinha mais força alguma para prosseguir com seu protesto, ele apenas deixou o corpo ficar mole e Baghera sentiu seus instintos gritarem para ignorar o sangue e ir até ele. Ela deu um passo à frente, Cucurucho voltou a encarar com olhos mortos como se ela tivesse cometido um erro terrível.
Antes que ela pudesse notar a mulher antes parada na porta a puxou pelo braço para longe, a tirando do quarto do irmão em um piscar de olhos. Ela foi deixada em seu próprio quarto, que diferente do quarto do irmão, estava limpo e reluzente como ouro, nada bagunçado, nenhuma gota de sangue. Ela ficou parada lá, por minutos, talvez horas, a imagem cravada em sua mente, ela acha que nunca vai poder esquecer.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
"—Que homem? —ela lembra de perguntar de volta.
—Um homem que fez asas de cera porque queria chegar ao Sol, mas ele voou perto demais dele, suas asas derreteram e ele caiu no mar e se afogou —Blue Bird, explicou, com uma voz entristecida.
Baghera lembra de ter odiado a história, ela não gostava de histórias com finais tristes, mas projeto Totem of Undying riu e disse que foi uma das melhores histórias que ele tinha ouvido, projeto El Pato revirou os olhos e voltou a desenhar. Baghera perguntou mais ao pai sobre a história mais tarde, ele contou todos os mínimos detalhes sobre ela e ela decidiu que Ícaro era um tolo e mereceu seu final, ele não era um híbrido de pássaro, e ela sempre aprendeu que não se pode desejar mais do que tem. Ícaro era um tolo. Um tolo que deixou sua tolice o guiar para a morte."
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Baghera só viu o irmão novamente mais tarde, quando ele apareceu em sua porta, sem energia, sem luz nos olhos, sem o sorriso de orelha a orelha que normalmente estava em seu rosto, sem suas asas.
Ela deixou ele à vontade, os dois deitaram na cama e se abraçaram, tentando passar conforto um ao outro, principalmente ela a Forever. Ela deixou ele explicar o que aconteceu, cada mínimo detalhe, desde como seu pai descobriu suas escapadas, de como ele nunca tinha visto ele tão irritado antes; de como ele ordenou que Cucurucho agarra-se ele e arranca-se suas asas como punição, para garantir que ele nunca mais iria ousar ir tão longe; ela deixou ele contar cada mínimo detalhe das sensações que ele sentiu, da dor excruciante do machado lentamente cortando suas asas, de como parte de suas penas tinham sido arrancadas por ele ter se movido demais, do sangue manchando seus lençóis, livros e chão, de como seu pai ainda teve a bondade de mandar enfaixarem suas costas; falar de como ele perdeu completamente a vontade de andar, se sair, de se mover.
Ele caiu no sono depois de um tempo, e Baghera voltou a pensar profundamente, incapaz de dormir, com medo que Cucurucho fosse aparecer para tirar seu pobre irmão de seus braços e fazer mais mal a ele. Ela pensou, sim, projeto El Pato estava certo, Forever era como Ícaro, ele era tolo, ingênuo e isso resultou na perda parcial de sua liberdade.
Mas diferente de Ícaro, ela não acha que seu irmão merecia o destino que teve, e naquele momento, jurou a si mesma que iria tirar ambos daquele lugar terrível.

Amazing Grace: Church AU
Direct sequel to "Demon in the Chapel pt. 2" over in the jail. Roughly one month later. Buckle up, buttercups. This is long.
Blake: (walking through the abbey to the chapel) I still can't believe you're walking around like that.
Yang: (following Blake) Like what?
Blake: Like you're a priest or something.
Yang: What? I give a mass here and there and all of a sudden I can't be pious?
Blake: That's not the point-
Adam: Ah, Father Yang, Sister Blake, good to see you both attending this evening's ceremony.
Blake: (scowls at Adam)
Yang: That sounds awfully pointed. I've been attending most services since getting here.
Adam: But our lovely sister here (stares pointedly at Blake) hasn't. I hope your illness is on the mend.
Blake: Go choke on holy water.
Adam: (glowers) .....I hear Reverend Mother Maria apparently called in a favor to have a specialty choir come to perform today. Perhaps you've heard of them? They call themselves the Holistic Singers.
Yang: (blinks) A lovely group.
Adam: (scours Yang's body language) Then I look forward to the show. (turns on his heel and enters the chapel)
Yang: (as soon as the coast is clear) Fuuuuuuuck!
Blake: What is it?
Yang: (muttering to herself) Of course, Sienna is just a human, but I wasn't told that Maria was here. Of course, she would call in a favor to the other angels. And of course the one angel that responds would- gah! Okay, calm down, Hellfire. Easy. This is fine.
Blake: Reverend Mother Maria is an angel?????
Yang: Hard to believe, huh? Actually, she's like... You know how there's The big boss downstairs and a few devils to help him reign in the sinners and demons?
Blake: Yes? Wait.... Maria is an archangel?
Yang: Holy shit. I forgot that was a word! Yeah, that's her! (acapella version of Amazing Grace starts up in the chapel, she takes a deep breath and sighs) Well... better face the music.
Blake & Yang: (step into the chapel and take their respective spots)
Blake: (staring at the three singers standing in front of the church choir in shock. A man with blonde hair and white suit stands to the right of a man with black hair, red eyes, black slacks and dress shirt under a white vest and white tie. To his left is a woman with wild, black hair, matching red eyes, and black and red dress) They're...beautiful.
Yang: (groans) Don't let them hear you say that.
Qrow & Raven: (smirk as they sing)
Yang: Too late...
Qrow: (steps forward for his baritone solo and gives a charming smile) 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear. And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear. The hour I first believed. My chains are gone. I've been set free. My Lord, my Savior has ransomed me. And like a flood, His mercy rains. Unending love, Amazing grace.
Taiyang: (steps forward and follows with tenor and a few of the younger sisters giggle like school girls) The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be. As long as life endures. My chains are gone. I've been set free. My God, my Savior has ransomed me. And like a flood, His mercy rains. Unending love, oh, Amazing grace.
Raven: (steps forward and starts substantially softer than expected, but has an almost seductive/sinister smirk on her lips as she sings) The Earth shall soon dissolve like snow. The sun forbear to shine. But He, Who called me here below. Will be forever mine!
Taiyang & Qrow: (bum rush the pews, grab Yang, and drag her up to the choir)
Yang: No! No! Come on, guys! No. Please.
Raven: (smirking as she finishes her solo and makes room for Yang)
Yang: (acting like a kicked puppy)
Raven & Yang: My chains are gone! I've been set free. My Lord, my Savior has ransomed me! And like a flood, His mercy rains!
Yang: (defeated) Unending love, Amazing grace.
Sienna: (as the song finishes) Thank you to our Reverend Mother Maria for putting together this lovely, unexpected inclusion to tonight's mass.
-The chapel empties at the end of Mass and Blake walks up to Yang, Qrow, Raven, and Taiyang-
Blake: Care to explain?
Yang: No. Not really.
Blake: (deadpan stare)
Yang: (sighs) Blake, this is my father, the angel, Taiyang.
Taiyang: (million dollar smile) Call me Tai, little lady.
Yang: My uncle, the Devil King of Limbo and all it's extensions, Qrow.
Qrow: (two finger waves) How's it going, kid?
Yang: (sighs) And the reigning Devil Queen of the Lust, Greed, Pride, and Wrath Circles, and my mother, Raven.
Raven: (gives Blake a once over and smirks before extending her hand) Pleasure's all mine.
Blake: (blushes as she hesitantly shakes Raven's hand) I...uh...see the resemblance....
Raven: Yang, did you never tell your little pet your title? Tsk! Tsk! (pinches Yang's cheek) My little Princess of the Anger and Lust circles.
Yang: Nyehhhhhh (slaps Raven's hands away like a cat)
Taiyang: Raven, be nice. The only reason Summer isn't here to help reign you in is because she had archangel duty. (to Blake) Sorry to leave so soon, but I was only given a few hours of Earth time. I'll try to make it back in time for the baby. (gives Blake a hug before disappearing into a beam of light)
Blake & Yang: Wait. The what now?
Qrow: (snorts and shakes his head before punching Yang's shoulder affectionately) I gotta go to. The big man downstairs wants to see me about whether or not anyone in Limbo can be transferred to Hell. Good luck, Hellfire. (gives a little hop and vanishes into gray mist)
Raven: (smiles smugly at Yang and Blake) Well, I guess it's up to me to explain. (to Blake) I'm surprised with how many children you've swallowed that one managed to make its way to safety. (claps sarcastically) Well done!
Blake: (jaw drops in a silent scream)
Yang: (flames slowly licking at her hair as her eyes flicker between purple and red)
Raven: (gives kisses to Yang and Blake's cheeks)
Blake: (red and black aura swirl around her belly along with a yellow and white aura) What in the name of Heaven?!
Raven: (clicks her tongue) Dammit, Tai beat me to it. Well, double protection wouldn't hurt it. See you both in about eight months. (steps back as a crevice breaks the floor and disappears into a wall of hellfire)
Blake: ...........
Yang: ..........you did ask for me to breed you...
-shadow slides across the wall in the distance-

Part One of GODLY ASCENT AU: Will Solace
Divine Karma (caused by some immortal trickster) has hit Olympus. The Gods have been stripped of their powers, much like Apollo already experienced, and sent to the mortal plane. Several have taken resident at Camp Half Blood. Several are too stubborn, leading to quests revolving around their location. But immortal power doesn't simply *dissapear* - it has to go somewhere.
The most powerful demigods became the natural fall back for segements of those powers. The eldest demigod children of each God were appointed segements of power. Nobody got the full set.
^ Will Solace recieved Apollo's powers of Healing and Light. As the eldest, he was able to take on two roles. His days are divided between managing the Sun Chariot, keeping up with his father's role in the New Olympus Council, and managing plague outbreaks.
The other Apollion powers went to Rachel Dare (currently lost in a coma from the power of the Oracle trying to fit into a mortal's body), Kayla Knowles (Archery), Austin Lake (Music and head of the Nine Muses), and several younger demigods who don't understand the situation.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh remember this wip?
I have finished it and I was right it is more disturbing...
Here is a bunch of trigger warnings just in case. (Full page + close up images below)
Tw: body horror, melting, drowning, violence, implied death, worms, and maybe a little trypophobia???
This page took forever but I think it was worth it.
Doppelneer spying on Cannoneer. First thing that was drawn on the page.
Something is at the end of a hall
Glimpse of WYRM. (Reason for trypophobia warning)
Relating to a bad ending (Also can't unsee Arthur shaking fist meme)
Drowning again... but the bubbles were fun to add
Both of these are part of another potential bad ending idea... it's the worst one my brain has come up with so far. The last image here took the longest, tbh. Melting be difficult but fun. Kinda blends together and hard to make out what is going on but that was intentional.
Here is a lil update, I guess.
I think I'm going to take a lil break from the horror for a bit after this... Focus on some more light hearted stuff and details to balance things out for me. Also been working on a document of sorts to get my ideas out, brain storm, and keep track of head canon's for the AU / Abyss crew. Idk if I will ever share that quite yet but we shall see... that's about it but wanted to say if you like what I have been doing so far for this project, thanks. It means alot that people care even if only a Lil or just passing by... and seeing what people say in the reblogs brings me joy. ^^

So no, most likely not a scam. But he wasn’t going to simply accept everything told to him out of hand either. Oswald told the girl as much once he’d been able to sooth her back into being able to speak without breaking down into tears again. Jazz, for her part - sharp and precise and driven in a way he could respect when she wasn’t having a panic attack from the weight of years of pent up stress and anxiety - had understood.
“Honestly Mr. Cobblepot, I’m just thankful you didn’t hang up on me. Most people would have.” She’d said, voice still a little rough and watery from her earlier crying. She sounded so terribly young in that moment.
Oswald had smiled wryly, eyes moving up from the careful notes he’d taken during their conversation to the large window over looking the Iceberg Lounge in all it’s glory. “You will find, Miss Fenton, that I am not most people.”
“I know.” Jazz’s voice had gone a little soft then, and Oswald imagined she had something of a wry smile of her own as she said, “I did my own research before I reached out to you, sir.”

Chapter two of the Uncle Oz AU (where Penguin adopts Jazz & Danny) is up!
Tag time below the cut so this isn’t super long for everyone haha
