#UNtaken Au

[smilesatdawnmain]

Your art is so good and it's so nice how much thought and time you put into your art, stories and how you answer all the questions you get so thoughtfully and often with AGAIN so much amazing art !

Its really nice and I hope you enjoy what you do :)

Oh my gosh, Thank you so much!!! You are so nice and it just makes me so happy when folks ask me questions! Even if it does take me some time to reply to them all XD BUT YES! I am writing it!! I'll even give a bit of a sneak peak~ ---

Macaque fell to his knees, his arms caught by Wukong who couldn’t seem to hold either of them up and just fell with him. Arm in arm, they laughed wetly. Tears stained Mihou’s face, pulling forth a rare grin. 

“He’s here.”

Wukong nodded numbly, burying his face against Mihou’s head. “Our Baby.” 

In their tears, they rejoiced. The next chapter of their lives were beginning. Their infant was as beautiful as the crystal sands that surrounded their home. Sweet and round. He was everything they hoped for and more. Forget the war, forget the celestial realm- none of it mattered anymore. They were parents and an official family. They turned to embrace the other, soaking in the sight of their precious little boy. 

Their lovely little Prince who had… two tails? 

Mihou sniffled, frowning a little when he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. Angling his head a tad, there was definitely a second tail trailing out from behind Xiaotian. “Um…” Macaque tapped Wukong’s hand a little to draw his eyes upward. 

Xiaotian turned his head and chirped, his body moving just enough for a second pair of eyes to peek out from behind him. 

The two older monkey’s froze. “Wait a minute…??” Wukong leaped to his feet to get a better view of the area. Stepping closer it was clear what he was seeing was not what it appeared to be. Their single child, upon closer inspection, seemed to have something- or someone, behind them. Wukong held his breath as he leaned forward, officially spotting a secondary body nearly hidden behind Qi Xiaotian. A second baby… 

Twins. 

Slowly the King peered back at his mate, pale. “Did we order two…?” he whispered. 

Macaque was slapping the ground with vigour, rushing forward to take this in for himself. “Two?!”

Lifting his head up, the second child in question lost his balance and fell to the side. He chirped, immediately rolling against Xiaotian. The two cubs squealed, wrestling and rolling into each other as their confused parents watched from above.

[late-to-the-magnus-archives]

Vast!Jon AU and Archivist!Sasha snippet

Sasha is about to take a statement about Mister Spider.

Sasha has only been Archivist for a couple of years. She thinks she's just getting an interesting story.

Sasha does not know what's about to happen.

(AKA: And YOU get some trauma and YOU get some trauma!)

---------------

“Statement of Jonathan Sims, regarding the creation of the photograph most commonly called the ‘spider leg illusion,’ taken… when?”

“Oh, uh - July 15th, 1995.”

“Statement taken direct from subject, February 6th, 2016. Now, Jon - I know it’s been a while, but I’d really appreciate it if you’d tell me what happened on that day.”

Jon was going to tell her the official story.

After all, everyone knew it - it was part of his biography. 

It’s why he started taking photographs.

He’d been eight years old. A local bully had been murdered in front of him - some drug deal gone wrong, they said. And needing to make sense of it, needing to find a lens through which he could feel more in control, little Jon had stolen his grandmother’s 35mm camera, went back to the crime scene, and taken forty-six photos. 

Each roll of film could take twenty-four shots. He’d had to replace the roll, somehow figuring out how to do it without exposing or ruining anything.

Why not a full forty-eight? the police had asked him later, because he’d left two shots untaken. 

Because I was done, and didn’t want to be wasteful, he’d told them with grave solemnity, and between that bit of unintentional cuteness and the evidence he accidentally collected, he made the papers.

The photos - which his grandmother had developed out of raw curiosity - led to the arrest of three people, drug dealers, who went down for the murder of Darren Case, the bully.

But that wasn’t actually how it happened.

At all.

Jon opens his mouth to tell the lie.

And what comes out is not.

#

Eight years old.

A book.

A spooky, weird book.

Mister Spider, and some kind of mind control, and bruising (every day, bruising, but that was just life until Martin stepped in), and then his bully being mind-controlled, and those legs coming out of the house to take the bully away, and -

And Jon returning to the house, finding it again because he needed to see, and the door opening, and the legs coming out, the legs coming out, the legs coming out -

Almost as if showing off for him, or just saying hi, or taunting him because it could have eaten him and didn’t, or - 

One picture came out with those legs, just one, even though he’d taken forty-six, and it is the clearest one, absolutely crystal, with a clarity that seemed to go beyond what his grandmother’s camera could do, but that makes sense to Jon because that is what he saw.

Jon has always been able to photograph what he saw.

And nobody took that spider-leg thing seriously because what the fuck, because the important photos were the ones with drug-dealer faces in the windows and going in and out of the house and hiding Darren's body, and it’s not like photo manipulation of some kind hadn’t existed in the 90s, but Jon had no access to it, so it was a fluke, or double-exposure, or something weird.

Jon had insisted the spider photo was real for two months until he gave up trying to make anyone believe him.

His grandmother kept it.

And it had burned in the house fire that took his grandmother away.

He thought.

Somehow, apparently… it hadn’t.

And Jon is gasping, and Jon is crying, and Jon has relived this terrible moment as if he were there all over again.

He hadn’t had time to make the connection, but now, he has: You have been marked by the Web, said Elias Bouchard, who’d asked him for the story and did not get it, because Jon did not want to talk about it, but Jon couldn't do that with Sasha, no he could not, and now that it's all over, he cries out and covers his face.

Sasha can’t - 

She hasn’t ever - 

She has no words for what just happened.

She was there.

Lived it as young Jon Sims, feels bruised where the bully pushed her, feel damaged where she saw the spider-legs and has no explanation, feels betrayed as she is not believed even though she knows what she saw and has to deny it and has to hide it and has to force herself to pretend it wasn’t real -

Himself. Not herself. This was Jon’s actual experience, not hers.

Sasha is panting.

“What…” she says, weak.

“I… I don’t…” Jon says, weak. “What did you do?”

Sasha looks terrified. “I don’t know.”

He swallows. “Eye stuff. It’s got to be.”

“What?” she says, completely lost.

Jon is suddenly angry for her.

Elias hasn’t told her anything, and this is Martin’s friend. 

She’s nice. 

She believes him.

Wait. “You believe me?”

“Of course I do,” she says.

He’s very angry for her. 

Jon is leaning in, too close, like he has no sense of personal space. “Sasha. Do you know what Elias is?”

She stares at him.

“What this place is?” he says, and now, he can see.

She is marked, too.

Marked by the Eye.

He can see it as clear as day, beautiful, like a gentle staining of her veins, all the way through and so intricate and so intimate it could never be removed.

“Wow,” he whispers, reaching for his camera.

Sasha grips the table suddenly as though she thinks she’s going to fall. “Why are there stars in your eyes?”

Jon breaks eye-contact.

Sasha sways in her seat. She’s breathing fast, and her eyes are very wide.

"You," she manages, and sways in her seat again like the room is spinning.

He sees it.

Sees another mark, patterning alongside the Eye, not nearly as deeply, but very much there, and he knows he did that.

He just did it right now, completely by accident, sending her soul into the sky or however this works, and before he can melt down in horror, a rush of warm, pleased energy comes flushing through him, unplanned.

He inhales, for just one second utterly blissed out, unable to parse what he’s feeling.

By some great stroke of luck, she didn’t see him react to that. “Could you - I don’t mean to be rude, but could you leave?” says Sasha. “I need a minute. I’ll catch up with you, I promise, I’m not trying to be a bitch, I….”

He’s hurt her.

Shame comes rushing right in after that weird pleasure. “Oh, no,” he whispers. “Sasha, I’m - ”

“Do I really need to ask you again?” she snaps, shaking.

“I’m so sorry,” he whispers, and then he flees.

[anxiety-thyme]

It’s time for first Friday fic night!

For a refresher you can see what this is about here.

Last month we returned to Teen Wolf.

This month it is Snow White With the Red Hair. Poll at the end for what we should cover next month!

I'm really excited this month to talk about what may be my favorite fandom. This list was a little harder because for all that there are fewer fics for this ship there is such a wide array of feels and themes to pull from.

Fandom: Akagami no Shirakukihim | Snow white with the red hair. Ship: Obiyuki (Obi my beloved!) Theme: Shirayuki figuring out what she actually wants

As always, mind the tags. There will be smut.

I have to start off by acknowledging my favorite author in the fandom, Sabraeal. I love everything she writes but I feel like linking to each of her fics would be overkill. So instead, here are three that I feel in my bones and that fit the theme. I can guarantee you will see more of her work in future posts.

Seven Suitors for Shirayuki, by Sabraeal

"If someone had told her this was going to happen, maybe she would have taken Zen up on his offer."

I have reread this fic so many times that I actually lost count. The same can be said for the companion fic 100 Headaches for Haki. Just, Obi's devotion to Shirayuki, and Obi & Haki's friendship, and Haki shipping the hell out of Obiyuki, and Shirayuki growing into herself are all just. Fantastic

as seen through a mirror, sharply, by Sabraeal

"It takes a certain type of stubbornness to believe that one tragedy won't beget another; Shirayuki is finding that she no longer has it in her to turn a blind eye and hope for the best."

and all my winding roads have led me here (to you), by Sabraeal

"Shirayuki turns thirty and ponders at all her untaken roads-- as well as the one she put herself on, all those years ago."

Eclectic80 is another of those authors who has so many fics to love. Their most recently completed one is just everything.

Changling, by Eclectic80

"Shirayuki goes to extreme measures to help the king and queen of Clarines, and ends up with an unexpected consequence."

Fairy Tales, by Eclectic80

"After Zen's royal engagement is announced, Shirayuki finds her path leads her to the far corners of the continent. Good thing she has her best friends along."

This is the lightest on this list. I just think it's neat.

Period Piece, by ccprovolomies

"Shirayuki's life told through days of her menstruation"

I actually found this one more recently and I cannot express how much I adore the way the the author uses Shiryuki's cycles as measure of her life's trajectory. Just :chef's kiss:

I hope you enjoy. Let me know how much you love them on a scale of 'Oh. Oh' to flower porn.

For next month we are going to pick a theme instead of a fandom. Within each theme you could get works from: Snow white with the red hair, My hero academia, Teen wolf, Attack on titan, and maybe even Yuri on Ice or Buffy thrown in as a wild card.

@oathofpromises

The Viera was not well.

Actually, that was an exaggeration -- she was fine. But 'beauty day' under Mistress Nashmeira was never as enjoyable as it initially sounded. Sure, the massages, skincare, and hot baths were a wonder on Meiko's otherwise-untaken-care-of body, but there was a price that had to be paid.

The price of having hot wax rip at every patch of hair that wasn't on her head, modesty be damned. She had been doing this for years now and still felt like apologizing when that dead-eyed Au Ri woman they always went to disinterestedly told her to open for business, so to speak. And of course, every time, Meiko would be awkward and apologetic and crack jokes before shuffling off to the baths after tipping very well. She wasn't even sure if she was allowed to give tips! She just did.

At least she hadn't cried in awhile, though. That meant... growth? Something. Although growth was the last thing she wanted right now as she settled into a cold-water bath in the main room. Ranaa, bless her soul, would be following her. Meiko could not imagine how a Miqo'te didn't die from it.

With a tiny whimper, she leaned back against the edge of the tub and let her head fall against it with a heavy, hollow thump. There was a dull pain to it, but she couldn't bother to pay any attention to anything but the relief of cool water on freshly-decimated fields. Although, it would have probably been more relieving if she didn't have this towel on.

She peeked one eye open. There were a few other people in the main room, but they weren't anywhere near the cool baths in the corner and seemed preoccupied. Would anyone notice if...?

Ah, fuck. Someone else was coming over. Meiko sank down deeper under the water as if to dismiss her own plan. Maybe the newcomer would notice these baths weren't the pleasant warm ones and avoid.

[unhinged-summer-fun]

Having a bit of fun thinking of uhhhhhhhhhhh hashtag Alpha in position Javier Peña

Cw omegaverse, au Javi (not in DEA lol), f!reader, wip

“Don’t even think about it,” Steve chuckled, readjusting his vest.

“How do you know what I’m thinking about?” Javier asked, eyes unmoving from their new point of interest.

“You only stand like that when there’s a tight pair of someone else’s pants you want to get into.” Steve looked up and fixed his partner with a deadpan stare, daring him to argue, but a flicker of amusement remained beneath the man’s expression.

Javier rolled his eyes but finally looked away from the pretty omega down at the edge of the triage tents going up. “So? We’re not on each other’s payroll.”

“Even if it weren’t a crazy fucking violation of the spirit of our contracts—”

“We using Ouija boards at work now?”

“—shut up—”

“Oooh, spooky tac vest, Murphy.”

“Fuck off, man. You don’t wanna get ten feet near that one.”

“That’s a bit archaic, even for you,” Javier said, crossing his arms and looking back at the omega, who had disappeared into a tent while he’d been teasing but was emerging now. She wore a pinched kind of expression, displeased by something he couldn’t see, until a broad-shouldered volunteer ducked past the tent flaps with a huge smile on his face. Untaken hints, probably.

“It’s not even that. I don’t doubt your pull, I don’t doubt her push just as much. She’s not interested.”

“What, you try?”

The omega whipped her head around and snapped something at the man—beta-leaning alpha or the other way around I’ll bet—but it didn’t deter the silly grin one bit. From this distance, Javier could see the buffoon’s eyebrows wiggle up and down.

“No. But I’ve had to pull her off enough upstart alphas who couldn’t take no for an answer that—”

“Walk me through that again?”

“I said, or you can just watch this scene play out, if this alpha doesn’t about face and hoof it in about ten seconds he’s gonna be left with the kind of omega handful that comes in a fist.”

“Well,” Javier shrugged, unfazed by the assessment his friend had drawn. He heard a sharp bite of tone on the wind, the words too far to make sense or shape, but the anger in the woman’s face and on her scent made it clear in no uncertain terms what she thought about the other man’s advances.

The other man thought this meant he could kiss her.

##

“Murphy, Murphy, put me down!” you screeched, trying to get back at the stupid idiot who had crossed the line.

“Nope, we’re not doing that, punchy.”

“My nose! You broke my fucking nose!”

“Come here, I’ll break it back,” you snarled, making another lunge at Lyle. The alpha wisely flinched back at your rage, before scurrying off to someone who would set the nose without asking many questions.

Having a makeup of nearly one-to-three omegas-to-alphas on the trip was fucking rough. With betas making up 80% of the rest, it wasn’t much of a surprise that you were singled out by the other cardinalities. What mostly started as a weak and watery bid to “look out for one another” always, always ended in “my biology told me to” or some other shit excuse.

You weren’t raised to let that fly, not for you and not for anybody else.

Steve Murphy was an annoying reoccurrence in your habitual dispensing of justice, however.

“If I put you down, are you going to run?”

“No.”

He didn’t budge. “Are you sure?”

Fuck. “Maybe.”

“Let’s give him a bit more of a head start, then. Javi, come help me out.”

Murphy’s partner, Javier Peña, had only been attached to your unit for a few weeks, but you’d seen him absolutely mowing down the ranks of volunteers with that headstone-straight, tomb-white smile and those deep dark grave-brown eyes of his that drove just about everyone crazy.

But not you.

Surely not.

“Put me down,” you said, in your most defeated voice. “That’s not necessary.”

“What’d he do this time?” Murphy asked, readjusting his vest now that you weren’t fucking with the Velcro.

“Asked me when my next heat was. If I was lonely.” You picked up the crates Lyle had been carrying out with a grunt. “Then he tried Voicing me.”

“He what?” Peña said, aghast. His voice was lovely, dark and deep in a Robert Frost forest kind of way, and you had to fight not to answer him.

“At least he knows he can’t mess with me now. And by nightfall all the other omegas will know, and the mission manager.” You were thorough in your scorched-earth approach to serial harassers like Lyle. You’d met omegas who were even more hardened than you were, but in a caretaking field like this medical outreach program, you had to temper your kindness with resilience.

Damn, were you tired.

“You need someone to walk you back to your tent?” Peña asked. Murphy sucked in a tense breath, not quite a gasp but close enough to one.

“Don’t insult me,” you muttered, before strutting off, thinking of cemeteries.

@wolfstarmicrofic Day Twenty-Three: accident

This is part 3 of the firefighter AU. Part 1 (Wildfire). Part 2 (Inhale).

c/w: mentions of car accident, past death of parent, general firefighter peril and emotions.

18+ nsfw

There's no off-season, no summer vacation, no federal or religious holidays. There are a lot of missed events, fun opportunities gone untaken, and fucked-up sleep schedules. Remus can't remember the last time he actually watched a movie in theaters or ate a meal at a restaurant that wasn't within walking distance of the station. Dry springs and drier summers are spent jumping out of planes into burning landscapes, and the rest of his year is...this.

He can feel the bite of the sleet even through his gear. The burning heat of the up-ended oil tanker set ablaze does little to warm him, but even if it did, the accident scene they've walked into is enough to chill his blood: an oil tanker on fire a few meters off, the cab crushed like a coke can. The ground beneath his boots is slick: black ice.

His team is already on the trailer of the tanker, dousing it with foam from three angles. Remus descends on the cab and steels his heart against the chaos he knows he'll see inside. He needs to focus on the mission and put his emotions aside. Emotions cause mistakes, and mistakes cause burns, injury, and death.

So he shuts his sympathies down as they wrench open the crumpled door. The driver is breathing (good) and conscious (poor fucker), but he has a face full of glass and his leg definitely shouldn't be bent that way. "Sir, can you hear me? I'm Lieutenant Lupin. I'm here to help."

The man's screams follow him home.

He tried to ignore Lily's pointed look once they'd loaded the driver into the ambulance, but she's somehow gotten craftier over the years. She's not allowed within explosion range of the tanker (James's rules, not hers, though Remus thinks she'd probably change her stance on that now that her jacket can't close over the swell of her belly) but she cuts Remus off at the scarlet Number 10 engine. She dismisses his protests that he's fine (because he is!) and sends him home. There is no arguing with Captain Potter.

At home, he's alone with his thoughts. Sirius will be back...some time, hopefully before the sun rises. They both moonlight as paramedics, because of course they do. They have to constantly keep moving. If they stop, they might have to deal with all the shit getting thrown at them. If they stop, they might never start again. Remus lights their fireplace (funny how he can't stay away from that, either) pours himself a measure of whiskey, and curls up on their sofa.

Sirius wakes him with a gentle touch, all that's needed after years responding to a hair-trigger alert. "You're the worst fireman ever," he teases, gesturing to the still-lit fireplace. "Leaving a hearth unattended. Wow, Remus."

He smells like the hospital, like antiseptic and the lurid green cleaner they use on the floors. His mouth, when Remus kisses him, tastes like stale hospital coffee and cigarettes, and his hair is a bit lank under his fingers and his blue shirt sweat-damp. Need overtakes Remus, pushing aside the shadowy feelings lurking just below his skin, and he quickly fiddles with the zip and buttons of Sirius's uniform shirt.

Sirius pulls back as Remus's wandering hands grow more urgent, a questioning look in his eyes. "Bad call?" he asks, though he must already know. "Saw that guy..." Sirius stills Remus's hands and pulls him upright to sit next to him. "Even looked a little like your dad, huh?" His words are soft, smoke-husky, but gentle as he presses Remus to his chest.

Remus's throat is tight. "Yeah..." His father was a long-haul trucker, and not as lucky as the one today when his tires met sudden ice over a bridge. Accidents like this are always hard on him. It's been seven years, but things like that don't just go away. Remus clears his throat and stands, tugging Sirius up with him. "C'mon."

The shower is a sanctuary. There is no fire here, just steam. No murky memories or painful thoughts, just the slick slide of their bodies together as the water sluices through their skin. It washes grey soot and sweat alike down the drain until the water runs clear. Sirius shampoos Remus's hair with careful, luxurious care, working out the knots in his neck and shoulders with deft fingers, and Remus thinks (not for the first time), that if he could live in their shower, he would.

When Remus returns the favor, Sirius decides to drop to his knees and take Remus in his mouth. When Remus's nails scrape across his scalp, lathering the soap into his long, black hair, Sirius moans and takes him deeper, deeper, deeper, down into the soft, wet heat of his throat. There's no rush to it, though, no urgency to reach a hasty end, and Sirius stands to let Remus rinse his hair.

They fall into each other on the bed, sheets freshened by their maid (the one "frivilous" thing Remus agreed to after they both made Lieutenant) and smelling of lavender. Five years ago, Sirius would have begged him to talk about it, to open up, to crack apart his protective walls and spill all of his squirmy, sobbing guts out onto the mattress before they did anything. But Sirius knows him now, knows that Remus will speak when he's ready. They don't need words, not for this.

His hips whinge in protest when Sirius pushes his legs back, but Sirius's first bottomed-out thrust into his body is worth the discomfort. They don't often have time for actual sex, but their schedules and the stars do occasionally line up. Sirius fucks into him slowly, measured movements focused entirely on Remus's pleasure without racing towards orgasm. With each push forward, it's 'I love you 'and every pull out 'you are enough.' The kisses that dot his neck, stubble-rough, are 'you are a good son,' and the hands that catch his wrists and hold them above his head are 'you are a good man.'

By the end, Remus is crying, even as his orgasm is finally wrung from his body by Sirius's tongue filling the space his spent cock left. It's cathartic, a release of the emotions he's had to lock up, of the agonizing heartbreak he feels because it is too much for one person, it is, but if they don't do it...if they're not the ones running into burning buildings, parachuting into burning forests, racing toward burning cars... who will? No one wants their job. The pay is shit. The benefits are shit (well, there is a pension so that's pretty nice). The hours are fucking shit.

But the looks on their faces, like the man he resuced today...that look of hope that dawns like the day, that spurs them to hang on to their breath, to hang on to life...is enough.

hi!! started to read your anastasia wesper au and cant wait for more 🫡 already very excited for more angst and drama

akdhdhdhdk hi anon!! very glad that you're enjoying it because i'm also very excited for more angst and drama 💙 the next chapter is going to take a little longer to write cause i need to tie up all the loose strings, but here's a little sneak peek for you 🥰

He thought he was starting to understand Kaz: standing, in doorways, watching everyone pass through and knowing he could never draw nearer. Wylan was there, at the far end of the deck, laugh high and bright as Inej leaned close to whisper to him.

Jesper flirted with danger and danced with risk, and his courage -- recklessness, stupidity, whatever Kaz liked to call it -- had never failed him. But Wylan wasn't a gamble. Wylan was all his lost chances left untaken. All his mistakes, left unforgiven.

[eneiryu]

hi! i know you said you don’t do aus but i was wondering, have you considered a zombie type au but with the ghost riders? like how theo and liam were together during the ghost riders but it being like a zombie au where they get separated from everyone else and have to find their way back and survive and it’s building off of how their relationship was during the ghost riders episodes

Hmmmmm. The idea of this does intrigue me. I could see it working with some of the canon details (though canon is about as sound as a ship made entirely of Swiss cheese), with the Wild Hunt essentially getting “stuck,” like they were worried it would, and then them just taking more and more people in an increasingly wide range, with Theo and Liam having to figure out how to both stay alive/untaken, and get back to BH to somehow “unstick” the whole thing…

Yeah, I could see it! 😆 Let me see what I can do. I’m pretty focused on the S5 AU at this point, and that is turning into exactly the beast I thought it would, but I’ll let this one tumble around for a while and see what develops.

Thanks for the idea!

[smilesatdawnmain]

You posted a cutest Mini comic about a possible UnTaken au and I gotta say, I AM ALL FOR IT ! I. LOVE. IT.

It would be so cute. Imagine them getting into so much mischief. I bet Xiaotian would be the better liar if they ever got caught 😂

But its really a nicht story idea, they would have each other and wouldn't be sick all the time (poor Wukong and Macaque. Imagine the twins but with energy AND later on powers. They will be exhausted parents xD)

ME TOO! I have so many other fanfics- BUT I STARTED WRITING FOR THIS AU XD I can't help it! It's so adorable!

The twins would be the ultimate little mischevious kiddos~ But such happy and loved kids. Neither ever sick, thus Macaque and Wukong's protective tendencies wouldn't be as bad. Endless energy and always up so early in the morning to wake their parents up.

Though... Their names would change in this AU. MK would still be MK as a nickname for Monkey Kid, but he would go back to being Qi Xiaotian. I love Xiaoxiao being Xiaoxiao, so he would be Qi Xiaohua instead :3

1. In the mood for Wei Wuxian being raised as a fierce corpse like Wen Ning, so he has super strength and doesn't need to eat and all that.

3. hi! i really like the absolute vibes of mdzs siblings being ride or die for each other, so i'd love (adore, really) some fics that demonstrate that? specifically like someone doing batshit stuff to keep their sibling safe (say like, cut out their core, or walk into enemy territory to seek the person who *checks notes* singlehandedly murdered a BUNCH of ppl with your surname, or like, that bridge scene in fatal journey i forgot a lil) i know this isn't rly a simple tag to search so thank you!!

5. Also itmf really good long fics! Ones that have great world building and character arcs, just an epic tale, the kind that you put down and just go wow. Preferably completed fics but I'm also okay with WIPS if they've not been abandoned.

I usually mean long by like...looooong so anywheres around 80k to start. But for that one I was more looking for good plot/worldbuilding, which can be done in shorter fics! So as long as that's there (that feeling of "omg this world is amazing and full and I want to live here") I think the rec would be great! (The more fics the better tbh 😌)

9. Hello there, for IITMF can I have some fics where lan zhan is kinda being overwhelmed by his feeling of love and adoration for wei Ying? Or where lan zhan is being reminded that he loves wei Ying so freaking much. Preferably where they're in an established relationship, but anything is okay really. TYSM have a nice day.

10. Hello! Hope you doing fine!

A) I've been thinking about swords in mdzs, in particular about how jl inherited suihua and now I'm in the mood for a fic where wwx passes suibian to wield to someone. Preferably Lan/Wei/Wen Sizhui or another kid whom he adopted or accepted as a disciple, just want to see him pass on his legacy as a once a great swordsman in the form of suibian to someone who makes him proud

B) Also it'll be cool if there was a fic where he gets to inherit his parents swords, either his mother's or father's or both even

13. Okay, thought might be too specific and not exist, but I’m in the mood for a fun fic of teenage cloud recesses era defense of WWX’s honor, after Lan Zhan makes a move. Preferably with Jiang Cheng being a good brother and also in an absolute tizzy. And like it was all totally consensual and actually pretty tame, but Lan Zhan was being a Top, and they were being their WangXian selves so it’s very much like “Lan Wangji you must take responsibility!” Maybe other Jiang family members show up at the lectures since it’s kind of an inter-sect incident at that point. Just cloud recesses era defense of Wei wuxians honor. (Not looking for any non-con or anything too explicit, just like, young love) Thank you for everything you do! @fibbunny

[mx-myth]

Y’all...   I’m writing a Dark Rise Captive Prince AU. I’ve commited to it now. I’m probably not going to post it on ao3 anytime soon (unless...?) because both as a reader and a writer I hate WIPs. I also don’t tend to write very long stuff because most of my writing is usually done in one sitting and this is definitely going to be the longest project I’ve ever untaken solo. I’ve hammered out a vague plotline and have no idea how it will actually end, and I’m aiming in total for half the CP trilogy word count which Pacat says was around 230,000 to 240,000 words. I’ve got about 2500 words down right now.

...and I’m now realizing that I probably really should have an ending in mind.

[rainbowintheclouds]

Personaaaa

Hello peoples, I’d like to talk about my persona, Irl Rainbow or Rainbow! Just wanted to talk about it because yes- 

Now first off just to get it clear and outta the way the reason why I call my persona “Irl Rainbow” is because I have another character called Rainbow which in perspective would be C!Rainbow. So there’s Irl Rainbow, me and C!Rainbow, the character. You’ll see that I have C!Rainbow as my pfp picture and Irl Rainbow you can see them in the first ever art I posted here on this account. Ok now that, that’s outta the way lets get on with it! 

What is Irl Rainbow?

Irl Rainbow is my persona, yeah thanks for sharing the obvious- The persona mostly follows a lot of Undertale multi-verse lore. They’re a creator as they get to visit or create AUs and other universes. They’re immortal and not technically a human as they have other features that would explain why. They have a yellow dandelion on the top of their head as it can show Rainbow’s emotion. They also have white feathered wings about the size of their torso just a bit smaller. They also have elf like ears. As a creator, they have three types of magic. Creation, destruction and illusion.

Now that we got what Rainbow actually is, now we could move on to headcannons yayyyyy

As they’re immortal they can’t die as we know but they don’t have much pain endurance so if you do cut their arm off it’ll still hurt immensely for them

Since their flower can tell their emotions here are examples of that. If their happy, it’ll start wiggling around like a dance. If they haven’t been being rather healthy with themselves, it’ll look like a flower that’s be dried up or untaken care of and etc and more feelings.

The type of flower can also change depending on strong emotion.

If nervous, their flower will start to release pollen, the bad part is that Rainbow’s slightly allergic to pollen so you can guess what happens.

They’re a really anti-social person.

They don’t leave much out of where the creators are to not interfere with the AUs and universes. 

When they do it’s only to explore and gather data on it

Only time they’d get out other than data gathering is with their lover and friends like hanging out.

Doesn’t do much in where the creators are so is bored a lot of the time, leaving them with their thoughts.

They’re mind is so opposite and undecidable where they made them into two separate parts. Their positive emotions, Tint and negative emotions Shade.

Tint and Shade are only the voices that decide what Rainbow does but these voices fight so much to the point where Rainbow wishes they weren’t even there.

They’re nickname is panda because of how similar they are to one.

They’re a heavy sleeper but is still aware of their surrounding and will wake up if needed (but for their own needs. They need to consider if it’s important enough for them to wake up)

Is very touch starved.

Because of them being touch starved if you do hug them, they will most likely cling onto you for a while.

Will do different funny voices for different reactions they do. 

If they’re not feeling well or just upset in general, they’ll wanna stay distance or not try to make conversation as much as they would normally do.

When they destroy something, it turns to rainbow goo and then fades away.

When they use their illusion magic they could choose which person they’d like to put the illusion on and make them see anything they want them to see.

Can put multiple people in one or multiple illusions.

((WARNING: SELF HARMING CONTENT))

Has past self harming scars on both arms but mostly the left.

Isn’t ashamed of them but they do wear long sleeves so that much people don’t ask about it

((END))

Is a very smiley person so you’ll see them most likely smiling a lot

Even if they smile a lot they can change to a :I face in an instant 

Tword HCs!

Most of the time they say tword because saying the word flusters them but other times they can say it like if it’s nothing.

They’re a switch.

If they find your worst spot, they’ll wreck that spot until you’ve at your limit.

Is a ler that could wreck you if they wanted to.

Teasey ler and will play around with you before tickling.

Because of their creation magic they can make restraints for you whenever they need

If you ask for tickles, they’ll gladly give them.

Better at giving rougher tickles than softer but still are good at both.

Likes to put your hopes down by saying things like “You don’t wanna laugh? Don’t worry I can change that~” or “It’s funny you think your gonna get away~” 

Dishes out a lot of “coochie coochie coo~” and does it in somewhat of a sing-a-long voice.

Knows exactly what to do after they tickled their lee and will comfort them if they did hard tickles.

Loves hearing lees’ laughter, it fills them with joy. 😌

With all of this they are a very flustered lee.

Any sort of teasing will get them blushing and denying everything.

Not the most ticklish person but the tickle spots they do have are bad.

Likes to be tickled on their neck, back, wings, ears and belly. 

As much as they deny or try to push off their ler, they actually really want the tickles.

Because of elf ears, it’s a very sensitive spot and blowing into it will get them a giggling and blushing mess.

Whisper teases will kill them.

They avoid whispered secrets because of the person talking in their ear. It tickles them and can feel their breath on their ears so they always tell the person to tell them later when they’re alone or they stay a curtain distance away. 

They absolutely adore it when people blow in their ears despite the whispered secrets. The thing is they only allow people they trust to do it and will never admit that they like the ear blowing. 

Their ears twitch and wiggle when it’s being tickled, as if it was going to escape-

Squirms a reasonable amount. 

They base and very tips of their wings are ticklish and just soft tickles there would turn them into jollo.

Their worst spot is the base of their wings where it connects to their back. 

When you scribble where their shoulder blades and shoulder connect as well are their spine, they just are a pile of snorts and a whole bunch of them.

Neck raspberries will leave them in happy tears.

loves getting raspberries, it gets them really flustered though instinct tries to push the ler off even if they don’t want to. 

Besides from raspberries, they adore nibble and kisses especially on their neck, ears and belly. They’ll just go into squeaky and snorty giggles.

Compliment teases flusters them a lot and will whine while gigging or laughing.

In a lee mood they are a very giggly person so if you just tell a joke or really do anything that is barely funny they’ll just start giggling.

A bit feather sensitive. 

Cuddle tickles are the bliss for them, especially when their just soft and relaxing.

Since they’ve been through trauma and didn’t have much of a childhood, they love it when they feel like a child while being tickle, baby talk and teasing just drives them nuts.

Has a strong tickle entrance and can take it for a while but will be huffing and giggling a lot when done.

Loves it when it's really hard tickles because it doesn’t make them think straight so they have no time to process any worries or anxiety they might be thinking. Of course soft tickles are fine no worries there, normal tickles are also fine but they just start body shaming themselves (caused by Shade) So when it's tickles that can’t make them think, they adore it.

The winner of every game of keeping their arms up.

Sometimes would whine quietly if a ler stops tickling them.

There we have it! I might add more or change stuff in the future but whatever. Hope you like my persona and I’m open to rp but I think I might change it to only dms, dunno we’ll see-
