Runes, curses, and the arrogance of man—how deliciously misguided. They think they can unravel the mysteries of forces eternal with their fragile logic and rituals. That demon they summoned? A mere shadow of the horrors that could truly emerge if the veil were fully torn.

The Shadow House Shaina Tranquilino September 18, 2024

Dr. Marie Landers had always been drawn to anomalies. As a researcher specializing in quantum phenomena, she was used to puzzling through the inexplicable. But nothing had prepared her for the enigma of the Shadow House.

It was a sprawling, decrepit mansion on the outskirts of town, standing alone on a barren hill. Built in the early 1900s, the house had long since fallen into disrepair. The locals whispered about it—how it had never been occupied for long, how strange noises echoed at night, and most of all, how its shadow didn’t match its shape.

That was why Marie had come. For weeks, she had pored over reports from townspeople who swore that the house cast a shadow too large for its size, with angles and shapes that didn’t belong to the physical structure. Some claimed to have seen movement within the shadow, a flicker of something otherworldly. And yet, no one had ever dared investigate.

Until now.

Marie parked her car at the bottom of the hill, clutching her bag of equipment. The air was unnaturally still, and the sun, hanging low on the horizon, cast the house in an eerie light. From a distance, she could already see the shadow—a looming, dark mass that stretched unnervingly far across the land, its contours sharper and more jagged than the house itself. It bent at strange angles, as though the sun were shining through a different structure altogether.

Marie approached, her breath shallow with anticipation. As she walked around the perimeter, the shadow didn’t shift as expected. It clung to the ground in defiance of the sun’s movement, frozen in place like a dark stain on the earth.

She reached the front door, old and weathered, and pushed it open with a groan. The air inside was thick with dust, and the wooden floors creaked beneath her boots. Sunlight streamed through cracked windows, but even inside, something felt wrong. The shadows in the house were too long, too deep, as if they were not merely the absence of light but something more tangible.

Marie set up her equipment, a mix of sensors and cameras designed to detect electromagnetic anomalies and disturbances in the fabric of reality. She moved through the house, her mind racing with possibilities. Was this a quirk of physics? A natural phenomenon? Or something else entirely?

She paused in front of the grand staircase. At the top was a long hallway leading to several rooms. The floor plan didn’t seem unusual, but the shadow outside suggested something different. She pulled up the blueprints she had found in the town’s archives and studied them.

Then she saw it—a subtle but significant discrepancy. The house’s shadow was casting an image of a structure that didn’t exist in the blueprints. There was a room, a hidden section of the house that shouldn’t be there.

Marie's pulse quickened. She raced up the stairs, her footsteps echoing in the empty halls. At the end of the hallway, there was a door she hadn’t noticed before, one not marked on any map. It was small, unassuming, with an old brass knob. Her hand trembled as she turned it.

The door creaked open to reveal a narrow room, bathed in a dim, unnatural light. At first glance, it was empty. But as Marie stepped inside, her skin prickled with an electric charge. The shadows in the room moved. They didn’t simply shift with her movements—they reacted to her, pulsing like a living thing.

She reached out a hand, and the shadows recoiled, then surged forward. With a flash of realization, she understood—these weren’t mere shadows. This was a gateway, a threshold to something beyond.

Marie pulled a small, handheld scanner from her bag and waved it through the air. The readings went wild. The air here was charged with energy she had never encountered before—an energy that bent the rules of reality.

Taking a deep breath, she stepped further into the room. The shadows thickened around her, and for a brief moment, the world seemed to tilt. Then, with a soft hiss, the wall in front of her shimmered and peeled away, revealing a tear in the fabric of space itself.

Beyond the tear, she glimpsed a world that was both familiar and alien. The landscape was an inverted mirror of her own—a dark, twisted version of the house and the hill, with strange structures rising in the distance, all bathed in a faint, otherworldly glow.

Figures moved within that shadowed world. Tall, elongated beings with hollow eyes and shimmering skin. They moved with an eerie grace, watching her silently from across the divide. Marie felt their gaze on her, cold and penetrating, but they made no move to cross over.

Her breath caught in her throat. She wasn’t just looking into another dimension—this place was alive, aware, watching her as much as she was observing it.

Suddenly, the shadows around her began to swirl faster, and the tear in the wall started to close. Panic surged in her chest. She needed to gather more data, to understand what she had discovered. But the portal was shrinking, and the pull of that other world grew stronger. It felt as if it was calling her, beckoning her to step through.

Marie hesitated for only a moment. With a final glance at the strange beings, she turned and fled back through the house. As she burst out the front door, the shadow outside flickered, and for a brief second, it snapped into place with the true outline of the house.

Then, just as quickly, it shifted back, once again casting its distorted, impossible shape across the land.

Breathing heavily, Marie looked back at the house, now silent and still, but forever changed in her mind. The Shadow House was more than just a mystery—it was a threshold between worlds. And though she had escaped, she knew that whatever lurked on the other side was still watching.

Waiting.

And she couldn’t shake the feeling that someday, she might not be able to resist its call.

dimension 20 is so dangerous because "dnd set in nyc and shadow nyc" sounds sick no matter how stupid you are, but opens on a drug dealer taking mushrooms and sending his dad to aforementioned shadow nyc for deadnaming him, which you kinda have to be smart and normal to enjoy. this is brought to you by my mom (favorite hobby: deadnaming all 3 of her children) asking for a link to unsleeping city

HIVE short story yipeeeee :D

NOT CANON STORY BTW‼️‼️‼️

HIVE belongs to @braisedhoney, I recommend checking out Captain's acc and also @talesaboardthehive to see canon lore

This story contains some headcanons and there are also ideas from @beartitled about the HIVE (bumblebee dogs, honey pipes, etc.)

And also it is mainly from my hivesona's pov

Anyway have fun reading it :D I'm not sorry for possible grammar mistakes /silly

Late Night Walk

The HIVE was never silent.

During the day you can hear crew talking in the many halls of the ship. Conversations, jokes, laughter, arguments, cries, you name it, you hear it. Sometimes even in the vents when someone went up there, usually followed by startled yelps as they were caught by COLONY.

There are some calmer places to rest when someone is tired or needs to focus on something, you can rest in spots like the honeycomb nap rooms, or the library.

In the morning and evening it is a bit quieter, but not that much, the sound of crew waking up, finishing their duties, or preparing to go sleep can be heard. Its not that loud as it is during the day though.

In the night, most people would expect you could hear a needle fall because of how quiet it would be, but that wasn't true.

The HIVE was never silent.

Late at night you could hear the soft humming of the ship, or the buzzing of many of the mechanics on the ship, or if you pause around one of the many honey pipes you can hear bubbling. And throughout the night you can hear different sounds, like a door opening and sleepy footsteps, or rarely; the bark of one of the bumblebee puppies.

In its own way, it was interesting to listen to all of the sounds. It was calming and it was a way to keep themselves busy when Sol wasn't able to fall asleep like right now.

They listened to the humming, with a bit of imagination you could hear a rhythm in the humming. Kind of like a heartbeat, but that probably wasn't true. The ship didn't have a heart did it?

Along with the soft humming they listened to the quiet buzzing of their lamp on the table. They could've turned on their radio to listen to whatever channel would be able available, but they didn't feel like listening to a radio.

To be honest, they didn't feel like doing anything. They weren't able to fall asleep for the past 30 or so minutes and they have given up on trying to sleep.

Sigh.

They might aswell get up and go for a quick walk. That could help them fall asleep later.

Yea. They could grab something warm like milk with honey to help them sleep....or coffee with honey and work on the armours-

Either way, taking a walk won't hurt.

After a moment they stepped out of their sleeping quarters and looked around. The lights were dimmed and there wasn't anyone in the hallway. It was quiet.

With a sigh they let the door behind them close and locked the door with a keycard, then they started walking to one of the kitchens nearby.

It didn't take them as long as it usually did. Only one door which was surprising, but not like they minded. It was nice not to get lost for once.

After walking into the kitchen, Sol quickly looked through the snacks cabinets and didn't find anything they would like to munch on. Their

Hmmm.

They weren't feeling like eating anything right now.

Might aswell take a walk while they're out.

Upon hearing footsteps getting closer to the kitchen they quickly got out of the kitchen and disappeared in the nearest door. It led them into a hallway. Oo this one has green walls. That's not something you would commonly see on the honey themed ship.

The hallway changed directions few times and they had to go through multiple doors. One of them even lead to the cryo, no idea why there, but it sometimes happened.

Footsteps echoed through the hallways as it took them some time walking in the dark hallways, where the light source came from the dimmed lights and the honey pipes, before they got to the spot they wanted to go to.

One of the big windows that let in the soft light of the stars was on the wall to their right and they walked to it to gaze out into the space. The protective barrier that was around the ship was visible a bit behind the window along with the stars.

They loved to look into the space through the big windows that were around the HIVE.

One would think that windows and space isn't a great mix but the sight out of them is amazing. You just have to make sure the windows are strong enough.

Stars, planets, galaxies, meteorites, supernovas, whole planet systems and more were a sight to die for though.

Sol especially loved to see how colourful the space could be despite how they sometimes got existential crisis over how the space was big and empty.

They liked to space out (pun intended heh) while gazing out of the windows in the living room like places on the ship, not listening to what was going on around them and focusing only on the beauty of the space outside.

It was interesting and amazing to see what could be found there.

When something interesting like a new planet was found, then for the next few weeks it was the main topic in conversations, and the more curious and adventurous crew members even went down onto the planet to do some things to help Leander gather more information. Sol was apart of those expeditions few times and it was always fun.

Most of it was done by drones though to ensure safety. As far as Sol remembered there weren't many accidents on strange planets but it didn't hurt to be safe.

It didn't take away the excitement from how the space could be amazing, in fact, for them it made the unknown even more interesting.

Sol's workplace where they worked on their projects, like the weapons and now also armours, always has few posters with something about space and they even have some in their quarters.

They couldn't remember from where they got it and how long, but one of the posters were about stars and constellations that can be seen from the Earth and they sometimes try to find some of the stars. Sometimes they were successful and sometimes they weren't able to locate some of the stars.

They sighed and put their hand on the window.

(Open the image for better view)

The stars shimmered with soft glow and they stayed there, staring at something that kind of reminded them of the milky way.

It was a pretty sight and they would never get tired of it, it was always beautiful.

The company of the silent stars was welcome after one of the more busy days on the HIVE. The soft humming could be heard along with the bubbling of the honey pipes and they stood there, enjoying how calm and quiet everything was.

The HIVE was never silent.

They took a deep breath and smiled. There was a nice warm feeling in their chest as they continued to watch the space.

Even when they sometimes missed their time on Earth they wouldn't leave the HIVE. They have gotten used to the chaos on the ship and they loved to be here. They love the space and the HIVE with all the occupants. Maybe it was a little foolish to be this loyal, but they had truly found a home here.

The HIVE was their home and they would risk their live to protect it along with others on the ship.

Some people with CDDs will view their systemhood as a positive thing. Some people aren’t going to be distressed by the systemhood aspect, and, genuinely, I don’t know why anyone would take issue with that. I love to see it. It makes me hopeful to see fellow folks with CDDs that adore their systems and are happy to have them.

Some people with CDDs will view their systemhood as a negative thing, or will view it as disordered. For example, as much as I care about the others in my system they are inherently part of a disorder for me. We cannot switch without amnesia between each other, we have entirely different interests/hobbies/goals, sometimes we still do things behind each others’ backs because it’s really hard to get the okay from ~60 pieces every time one of us wants to make a decision. All these things have a negative impact on my life, and because of how we’re structured I cannot currently view my system & CDD as separate.

Here’s the thing: Both of these outlooks are perfectly fine. The trend of telling systems how they have to feel is quite frankly ridiculous. Good luck telling anyone, in any community, that they have to feel a certain way. That’s not how society nor the human brain works. People are going to feel however they do about their CDD and/or systemhood and that’s okay. There is no right or wrong. There’s you, your perception, and how you feel about yourself. That’s all that matters.
