#adding that to my endless list of wips

[trans-jon-rights]

Hm. New Idea. I'm putting this one out there because the Discord buddies said it was good.

Gravity Falls and TMA crossover, but Jon and Martin arrive at different times.

Martin arrives a few years before Jon. He meets Ford, becoming buddies with him. He distrusts Bill a lot, being sometimes reminded of Jonah before he revealed what he was. But Ford is a grown ass adult, and Bill doesn't try to bother him much, so he lets him be.

Jon arrives the day Ford fell into the portal. He tumbles from that exact same portal right before shit hits the fans, and both Martin and Ford end up lost.

He has almost no Eye powers, no knowledge of this strange new place he ended up into, and has to work with Stan to repair the portal and get both Ford and Martin back.

Talk about a Situation to end into.

(I need Martin to become a ruthless killer with Ford and Jon to have to make scams with Stan even though he hates it)

The timeline stays about the same. It takes thirty years for Jon and Stan's combined efforts to bring the other two back. In the meantime, neither Jon nor Martin are ageing due to the Entities still being present.

Just imagine.

The anxiety of Stan seeing himself age during those thirty, long years, unsure if he will manage to bring his brother back or not. Making Jon promise to do it for him if he couldn't go on because, despite himself, he'd learned to appreciate and trust this odd, prickly British guy.

Jon never certain if, when Martin will come back, he will be the same, or if he would have aged like every other person around him, being robbed of this opportunity to grow old together. Martin had never been an Avatar, right ? Jon didn't grow old because he was already dead, in a sense, but what about Martin ?

(Crossing between dimensions was a good metaphor for death and an excuse for Martin's Becoming, but Jon doesn't know that :3)

When twins arrive in Gravity Falls, Jon works at the shop (Stan used his "weird British narrator voice" to make him a tourist guide. For some reason, tourists like his voice).

Also this AU works well with my general idea of Jmart, both of them clinging to that ideal of the other and of what their relationship would be in a non apocalyptic context, making them confront the reality of things when they are reunited again.

Had it truly been their love for each other that had pushed them to work towards being reunited, or had it been the idea that once it would be over, being together would automatically mean they would be guaranteed happiness ?

Also, maybe give them each a period of time during which they were really happy and almost forgot their guilt for the other, and maybe give them some rough time when they're back together. Then, they look back at that and rethink their relationship and their quest, wondering if it really was worth it.

Happy ending for both is expected, of course, just lots of talking things through before. Making them healthy.

And as a bonus, I'm giving them a "Tim" and "Sasha". Not in the sense that they are actual alternate version of Tim or Sasha, in the sense that they are different characters who behave very similarly to Tim and Sasha. Sometimes, they mix up their names, and their face have the biggest grief for some reason.

Bonus point if "Tim" dies in an explosion caused by Martin and Ford and if "Sasha" dies to a shapeshifter. And after that, Jon just guiltily thinks, "At least it didn't take her face this time".

i wanna do a fun little project for myself, which is drawing minor da characters that don't have much fanart...

while we’re having the endless debate about sorting by kudos or not on ao3, i have to stump for my personal favorite way to find fics:

i basically always go straight to the “bookmarks” page for whatever pairing/tag i’m reading rather than the “works” page, and i literally just realized why: it lights up the same parts of my tumblr gremin brain as my dash does.

content hand-selected by people who are bookmarking shit for their own reasons entirely unknowable to me, so it’s a mix of quality peer review and user xyz’s to-read list

if you keep going back to it there’s a repetition over time as new people bookmark old fics. as a tumblr girlie my brain enjoys seeing Thing I Recognize

brand new fics often show up there if they’re good!! (equivalent: new posts tagged “investing at 5 notes”)

a lot of the top kudos fics keep showing up too because so many people sort the works page that way (equivalent: heritage post)

but so much random stuff shows up too that i would otherwise never find, thanks to the hardworking folks out there sobbing into the bottom of the tag at 4 am (equivalent: those posts with 56 notes from 2011 that somehow?? end up on your dash like bestie how did you even find that)

sometimes there are 30 bookmarks in a row by the same person who has a new hyperfixation and you get to think “good for them”

sometimes you get to recognize a username as someone having good or seriously bad taste

sometimes i see my own fics in the mix!! and get that little hit of positive attention (or neutral attention i guess, when people add a bookmarker tag like “it’s about [my fave character] but it’s ok”)

yeah! people can add bookmarker tags and their own notes! so sometimes people rec fics or add marginalia and their own sortable tags (but most people don’t)

there’s always that one fucking harry potter crossover fic with 194 tags in the mix (equivalent: manscaped ads you can’t escape). not saying this is a plus, but scrolling past the same long post you hate for the dozenth time is also an essential part of the tumblr experience.

re: that last bullet point, the one downside of the bookmarks page is that the filtering isn’t quite as robust as on the works page. you do have all the usual include/exclude filter options, but the very last section of filtering (crossovers, WIPs, word count, date range) is not available. (@ ao3 coders please i’m begging 🥺🙏)

anyway i’m sure the bookmarking economy is different across fandoms, but this will give you a semi-randomized feed of the tag, weighted toward new and popular fics (and, for better or worse, unfinished multi-chapter works and megafandom crossovers). it’s probably a good place to start for people who long for an algorithm, but unlike the usual user-targeted panopticon experience it’s more like the chance to rummage through strangers’ junk drawers for fic. tumblr vibes. you get me.

[yeyinde]

So i had this thought, what if Ghost was a doll maker? He makes those creepy human sized dolls, his shop is in an isolated part of the city (a lot of people purposely avoid his shop because of the bad vibes) and he spends most of his time in his basement carving. He also makes curses and haunted things and then he creates you, a beautiful doll. You are one of his many creations but a bit different. You yearn for him, crave his touch. He is your creator, basically your god and you need his love. He couldn't care less though always complains about creating a needy doll while secretly enjoying how she worships him

Honestly i don't even know if this makes sense lmao just wanted to leave it here

i adore this. i love this particular subgenre (esp when it's horror/dark romance) of building/making something that becomes obsessed with you. ai, androids, dolls, frankensteinian monsters. i'll take them alllll. creator x creation, my beloved. what you originally start as something meant to be symbiotic that devolves and changes into something parasitic?? ruinous? goddddd. that's my raison d'etre.

and this is such a unique spin!!!!! usually it's Frankenstein's monster x hapless human so the idea of you being the thing made by Ghost to satiate some aspect he's yearning for instead the other way around is so intriguing to me.

like maybe he starts out making something to occupy himself. doesn't really have any clear direction. and if we want to add in some layers, maybe "you" were someone he saw in passing. a person he was once obsessed with/couldn't save, etc. but maybe "you" died. and this is a replica, an effigy. except. we have endless warnings in mythology and religion about making something in the likeness of another. cue some well placed lightening, and then bang. you wake up. and he isn't sure how to handle you not really being "you."

(also: this is giving me an incredible idea for a Ghoap story 👀 might fuck around and write something GROTESQUE about Simon making "Johnny" because he can't move on and what comes to life is. well. i'm also def adding this to the Simon x Reader wip list w full creds (on both accounts, Ghoap and x Reader), because, op, this is such a godtier idea and ahhhhhhhhhh)

[aalinaaaaaa]

Lots of interesting things to choose from. What is (A Deal with the Ancients) about? (WIP folder tag game)

Hey! So this piece derived from a scrapped idea for the first re-draft of Obsidian Sapphires, where there were these wandering Sentinels (dubbed as Arbiters at the time of making it) that go on adventures and interfere with things as they see fit.

For this, they heard of what happened at Alycja's ceremony (she accidentally summoned Eshani and everyone else believes she summoned Fate) and believed her to be a major threat. So they decide to capture her and whisk her away to the forestlands of Morilaste.

Or so they thought...

—

These were not the whispers of the woods she knew. Cheyoria awoke to the rustle of coniferous foliage, and deeper still, the songs of a magic much older than her.

It spoke to her as an equal, the way nature distinguished its allies from its guests.

"Wait... you're not Alycja." Cheyoria turned to find a fellow walk straight from the bushes, his winged steed in wait behind him. She found herself on her feet. "You're one of them, aren't you."

Her skepticism did not stop him from approaching. He had the grace of a warrior, his footsteps assured and efficient. From his marble face she could glean no answers, only an endless stream of uncertainty.

"I must say, I am quite impressed, you do quite the convincing impression,"

Cheyoria stared at him slackjawed. Was this, genuine?

"All you shapeshifters are the same, you all are horrible."

Of course he would, wouldn't he? "Is that a joke? I didn't take an ancient guard to be of the joking type. And speaking of which, you're one of the Arbiters, aren't you? What are you doing here?"

She found herself mesmerised by his wispy, charcoal eyes, looking upward as if to calculate his next move. "Well, seeing as you're not Alycja, my original plans must be placed aside, but–"

"What do you plan on doing with her?" She interjected, her voice laced with worry. While she had no doubt on Alycja being able to hold her own, she wanted to be certain her best friend was alright.

The man shrugged off her tight grip on his shoulder. "I suppose what you see now is the fate we had in mind for her, a life of exile."

2024 fic roundup game

Can I just create an ask game? said @cheeseplants

Yes!! Thanks to @cheeseplants and anyone else you tagged me.

What fandoms do you write in? Good Omens! Only Good Omens, Forever Good Omens.

How many words have you published in 2024? Ok, including some chapters for an upcoming [redcated] collab, I'm estimating 150k that I actually wrote. Which....isn't much in this incredibly talented fandom BUT was a lot for me.

What is your greatest achievement this year? Getting out there and collaborating!! I talked to artists (y'all are magical and terrifying), I joined the [redacted] project and wrote amazing angst with @gaiaseyes451, @sixbynine-da, @kneelbeforeyourdogbabylon, @groovynightstrawberry, and MxThirteen, PLUS more artists, @apocalyptic-scenes & babyrubysoho.

And then kept on writing with a lot of those folks to create some amazing crack - and Lucicrow?

My point is, once you start collaborating, you have no idea where it will take you!

What are your top three fics you’ve written this year? Mirrors (E, WIP but almost finished): Angsty reverse omens AU, but there's a happy ending I PROMISE. With amazing art from @daneecastle and @c0smicdisaster.

Cracked Pepper (E): Utterly absurd birthday crack for @kneelbeforeyourdogbabylon. I'm still tickled that I somehow wrote this.

Have We Been Here Before? (E): A one-shot love letter to the fandom (also podfic from the amazing @nosferatini )

What was your biggest pit of despair moment? Hmmm, I got kind of lost in my subplots in the middle of After Heaven. But it worked out and I actually love the ending.

I regularly despair that I will never have enough time to write - or to write as well as I want.

What have you learned? I've gotten some sense of the things I'm ok at. And learning to work on adding descriptions and feelings, not just plot.

Still need to improve my gif game!

What fic did you want to do but never made it off the ground? I have three historical scenes hopping around, but not fully formed yet...

Did you beta any fics? Any favs you want to shout out? Yes!! I can't name all of them - and some aren't published yet (looking at you, @on1occasionfork). But some to throw love at:

Saint of Lost Things (E) by @gaiaseyes451. This would have gone on my year's best list, but I'm sneaking it in here. Post S2 angst and redemption is absolute marvel of story telling!

What Have I Lost (M) Another post2S fic, from MarieCuriosity that I can't wait to see how it comes together!

The Show Must Go On (M) A great 1941 follow-up by @vieux-yeux

Lady of Rheged (E): A West Essex historical AU by @mageofthepeople

Seasons of Nightingales (M): A massive, sweet post2S fic from @nosferatini that is almost done!!!

but i still want more (E): An intense but heartachingly lovely postS2 fic from @cordsycords

Confeitor (M): pure poetry from @adverbian

What three fics have you read this year that you love? Lol, 3!!!

Tethered (E): WIP by MarieCuriosity based on a Gleafer prompt

Someone is Calling Him Shorewards (E): by @harlotofupdog. Gah, if you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for?

Trial & Error (M) by @fellshish. I love everything postS2 and this one was so original!

Anything ginger_cat wrote

Angel-Centered Therapy (G) I thought this was the perfect counterpoint to its big brother (sister?), Demonology.

Rosae series (E) by UKCalico. Sure, it's incredibly hot, but then hits you with these deep insights into the characters and their lives.

If I loved you less, We Could have Coffee (M): The Chapell Roan fic you didn't know you needed; excited to see what happens next! By @spectrallydistracted

Teach me, both the art from @gahellhimself-blog and the fics from Jeans. A really amazing collaboration!

What ideas are percolating for next year? Going to start off with a couple sequels, and then we'll see where the plot bunnies take us.

Who do you want to thank? @goodomensafterdark for endless support and entertainment. Wibly for maps!! @ireallyneedmoretea & @moderndayklutz for being beta rockstars on [redacted]!

Are you somewhere in this post? Should you be? Go on and play the game!

[bookie-bookdust]

✨WIP Wednesday (but it's Thursday and I'm late again woops)

Thank you for the tag @amethystandemma 🥰

I'm finally working on part 2 of How to Defuse a Ravenclaw (I know it's been two months loloolol. Sorry smutty crack fic is hard - pun intended).

MDNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 18+

Ominis had been talking about Salazar knew what for a good twenty minutes when Seb sensed the shift. It felt as if all the merriment of the Great Hall had been sharpened into a Sebastian-shaped ax. He suppressed a smirk, poking his soup with his spoon. He dared a peek, and he spotted her fuming from the Ravenclaw table, gripping a fork a bit too tightly to be normal. Ominis stopped his jabbering. “What did you do?” “Hm?” “My wand can sense all this, you know.” He motioned back and forth between the tables. “What happened?” Sebastian clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth. “I may have added some new items to the Defuse the Ravenclaw list.” Ominis raised his brow. “Like what?” “Watch out for biting.” Ominis’s face screwed up. “Well, of course, I suppose. Saliva can carry all sorts of diseases. What else?” Sebastian would have laughed if he wasn’t starting to hum with nervous energy. How was he partially turned on but also terrified to have her shooting him a death glare? “To, uh, not,” he lowered his voice, “fuck her.” Ominis nearly leapt from his seat. “Excuse me?” “Though I’ve decided that rule is for you and not for me because I will definitely be doing that.” “Eugh.” Ominis shivered. “I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.” “She started it.” Seb glowered. And then didn’t finish him. “Whatever foreplay this is, just keep it out of the public. I’m not going to be associated with the two of you making fools of yourselves.” “This was never really planned to be a threesome so.” Ominis turned nearly purple. “That’s enough. I’m changing the subject.”

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hello again Steph! I actually love long fics and especially series. I wanted to know whether you could suggest me some. Feels like an addict though 😅 whenever I complete a series or a particularly long fic, it fills me with a longing. I don't know how to manage these all.😐

Hi Lovely!!!!

First off, I know you sent this like MONTHS (maybe a year?) ago, and I apologize because I saw this ask, and went "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!" not realizing the SCOPE of what I just did to myself, LOL.

To start light, I've a TONNE of long fics, which you can check out on these lists below:

Single Chapter Fics Over 20K

Novella Length Fics: 20 to 25K (Oct 2020)

Novella Length Fics: 25 to 50K (Aug. 2019)

Novella Length Fics: 25 to 50K Pt 2 (July 2022)

Novel Length Fics: 50 to 100K (Nov. 2018)

Novel Length Fics: 50 to 100K Pt 2 (May 2020)

Novel Length Fics: 50 to 100K Pt 3 (Jul 2022)

Novel Length Fics: 50 to 100K Pt 4 (Mar 2024)

Novel Length Fics: 100K+ w. (May 2019)

Novel Length Fics: 100K+ w. Pt 2 (Aug 2020)

Novel Length Fics: 100K+ w. Pt 3 [MFL’s] (Dec 2020)

Long Domestic Johnlock (50K+ w.) (March 2023)

Novel-Length, Not-So-Angsty Recs for Newbies

Now for the challenge! I went through ALL my bookmarks, pulled all the fics that are part of series, and then made NEW entries specifically for Series of Fics, and I am currently putting together the MONSTER list that will be the MFL list.

This is what took so long!! I had to RE-FILE all my bookmarks that were part of series,

All the series on this list have fics I have read in them, but NOT NECESSARILY read the entire series, so take that as you will. And another heads up, in these entries below, when I mark "Series WiP" that ONLY means that the series was marked as incomplete on the Works page, chances are all the stories in the series are complete and can still be read in full.

AND FINALLY, because you asked for "Long fics" (and because I have too many links on this post to post it), I pulled out all the fic series that, as whole, jumped over 50K so you have endless hours of series goodness! So.... Enjoy???

Note, I'll be posting the short-series list next week, and as always, if you have a series you want to share, let me know and I'll add it to the monster MFL list I'm putting together. This list is ONLY for bookmarked series and will NOT be added to!!! Sorry!!!

Hope y'all enjoy!

[trans-jon-rights]

i'd very much like to hear about your mechs/tma baby jon au:)

Hehehehe thanks for asking >:3

So I have no idea where this whole idea came from, but I'll try to make it somewhat coherent.

At some point in the mess that is the Mechs' timeline, after High Noon Over Camelot and before Out, they all come to Earth. Somehow, Ivy gets a job in the public library of Bournemouth and legally becomes Jon's aunt at some point (don't ask me how I don't know).

Which means that when Baby Jom comes into the picture, Ivy is very interested in understanding how to raise a human child. She gets involved in his life, becomes the cool aunt, all the while being on really good terms with his parents. When they die, Jon is six, and she proposes to take care of him. Jon's gran, who didn't want to deal with it, accepts, although she asks to still be able to see him on weekends and whatnot.

Now, Ivy's living situation isn't what anyone would call "typical," especially not in the 90s. Because picture that. Ivy and the Mechs all live in a huge mansion together, sleep together in huge cuddle piles most of the time, only half of them have a job, they look super weird... also, they're all queer ofc.

Great for Jon's emotional development, not great for neighbourhood gossip.

I'd say Jon's childhood in this AU is pretty great. His gran steps out of the picture after a while (Jonny banned her because she made some comments about Jon being neurodivergent and the crew being sinful), and overall, he gets plenty of love. He has as many books as he wants (and isn't blamed for it!) and learns plenty of useful skills such as cleaning guns :)

When he gets hired at the Institute, he's kind of a mess. The crew went a bit everywhere during his uni years, wanting to wreck some havoc after staying in the same place for 15 years, except Ivy, who transformed the house into her personal library. They still visited him from times to time but y'know.

Elias gets quickly interested in him because of the amount of Marks he already has. The crew never hurt him intentionally, but with them all being Avatars (unknowingly), his encounter with the Web (which still happened), and being generally encouraged in his Eye tendencies, that didn't help.

(Note to self : figure out who is an Avatar of what)

When he gets hired in the Archives, he calls Ivy and asks her to help him sort the mess. Ivy gets a weird feeling about the place, and decides to call the crew back together in case Jon might need help. That's also when they discover they've all become way more Avatar-y during their time apart.

That's all I've got for now ! Thanks for asking <3

Navigation post / Masterlist

Hello, everyone! My name is Ash (though you can also call me Samael), and I am a storyteller in the making. I have always been reluctant to share my work, but in the spirit of self-improvement and because I actually love writing so much, I recently decided to take the leap.

All of my works will be posted here, as well as on AO3.

Requests now open!

My requests are currently open for ficlet prompts. It would really help me get back in the mood for writing and then maybe I can also finish my WIPs (see list below).

What I will write:

Character x character

Character x OC

Character x reader

Almost all genres

Adult content I feel comfortable with

What I will not write (unless maybe you pay me? 👀):

Any pairing including a real person (no actor x reader or shipping real celebrities together)

Adult x minor interactions other than parent/child or hurt/comfort settings

Pairings with two characters played by the same actor (I personally don't like it)

Non-con tropes

(List to be completed later)

You can check the fandoms I currently write for on my profile in my bio. They are in "order", meaning they go from most to least interested in as of today and/or from most to least "knowledgeable". If the fandom you're looking for is not in my profile, it's no use asking; I either don't want to write for it or don't know anything about it.

Fanfictions will be under #cappulcino writes. Answered asks will be under #cappulcino replies. Fanfic recommendations will be under #cappulcino recommends (For lack of a better free tag)

Love you all like birds love to appear everytime you are near. Take care. 💖

Zinnia’s screams haunt your prison. That’s what it is. Not a cabin. Not a house. Not even a fortress. No, you are all trapped here. 

Her first night there is shrill and horrifying and endless. Not just for her but all of you. The rare night spent alone but only knowing that she suffers for it. None of you are so foolish to think these men would show pity for her inexperience.

You hear Azalea through the wall, sobbing. A few times, you find yourself awash in a flow of grief. Swollen eyes succumb to drowsiness and you wade through the night in painful sleep, waking now and again to the throbbing ache behind your brow.

The last time you rouse, you’re not alone. The weight in the bed next to your grumbles and shoves you back down as you try to sit up. Ransom rolls over as you lay flat on your back. He tweaks your nipple through the thin layer of your camisole and pats your chest.

“Good girl, Lily,” he closes his eyes and is just as quickly snoring again.

Is it starting all over again? Back to the basics. You and Ransom. You hate to admit it even in your head but his return is almost comforting. You know what to expect when it’s just the two of you.

You don’t sleep again. You can’t. You just lay staring up at the ceiling, watching the morning slowly spread across the plaster. It’s a startling calm that undermines your reality starkly. A reminder that this tiny corner of the world is forgotten and hopeless in a vast world that keeps turning.

You shift onto your side and hide your face in the pillow. You keep your back to Ransom as you rattle with suppressed sobs. It would be so much easier if you could just stop thinking.

You sniffle and try to tamp down your tears. You miss your apartment. After how long of cursing that cramped box, of wanting to be anywhere else, you would kill just to see your ratty couch again. Just to sleep on your lumpy futon or stare into your scant fridge. 

Freedom isn’t what you thought it was. Freedom is waking up to an alarm every day and going to a job you hate so you can make a few dimes of your own. Freedom is parsing out that measly check in a desperate struggle to survive. Freedom is that sliver of choice you get in doing so. It’s surviving, all the same, but on your own terms. Not on theirs.

You want to give up, so badly. You should. It only hurts to fight but you won’t. You can’t. Dahlia is right. You can still have that freedom, in that you can choose your end.

You wipe clean your face and sigh. You glance over at Ransom and carefully fold back the blanket from over you. You sit up, jostling as little as you can as you shimmy out of your camisole and panties. 

You ease yourself back on your elbow and turn onto your side. Your reach beneath the crumple edge of the duvet and feel around blindly. You wrap your fingers around his dick. He’s soft but not for long as you stroke him slowly, fondling his limpness until he’s hard and groaning.

“Lily pad…” Ransom breathes and pets your temple, “what–”

You hush him as you drag your hand up his stomach. You plant your palm on his chest and lift yourself up. You shove the blanket away from his body and hook your leg over him. You reach beneath yourself and angle his tip along your cunt. You straddle him, inching onto him as you let out a hum.

He’s stunned by his awakening. In that moment, you have power. You have something you can use. You sink to your limit and moan, twitching around him as your nails dig into his firm muscle. His hands crawl up and down your sides as he admires your body.

He shudders and lets out shallow breaths as you rock. You feel the tension knot in his stomach as you trail down. You sense the vulnerability in that moment. You see yourself smashing his jaw in with your fist or bringing your hands to his throat and squeezing until he’s gagging.

You resist that fatal urge and buck fast, the noise of your bodies clapping in the early morning hue. The bed shakes as you huff out your effort, closing your eyes as you cling to the vision of your liberation. The fantasy of violence driving you onward.

Too soon, you know it. Wait, watch, calculate. Don’t strike too soon. Not alone.

“Lily,” Ransom frames your hips as he pulls you down harder and harder, “fuck, what are you–”

“Shhh,” you smother his mouth and fuck him harder, leaning over him as you flick your lashes open, “I missed you.”

He watches you as you hover over him. You poke your fingers between his lips and delve into his mouth. He bites on your knuckles as you keep your hips tilting. He babbles around them as he quakes beneath you. Almost there.

“You going to cum inside me,” you hold back your disgust at the words, “hmm, I want you too–”

He gurgles and his eyes roll back as he spasms. You feel the heat burst inside of you and push yourself up. You lean back and ride out his climax. You stop only as he’s breathless and prone. Then. You could do it then. You could hurt him. You could murder him.

You sit paralysed, horrified at what you’ve done and what you think of doing. They made you a monster too. They’ve filled you with a rage that will never leave you. You will never escape the fractures they’ve rented into you. You can never fix yourself but you don’t care about that. You only want to break them.

💐

The morning brightens through the curtains, rousing Ransom as he sits up with an effort not to disturb you. His caution is uncharacteristic and confounding. You’re already awake but you don’t let him know. You just watch his back as he rubs his eyes and combs his fingers back through his hair.

He yawns and stands, his naked ass greeting you unceremoniously. You squeeze your eyes shut and listen to him move around the room. A low growl in his throat but no words. He dresses in silence and to your surprise, does not try to touch you. He leaves you confounded, hidden beneath your eyelids as you try to figure out what ploy is at hand.

You stay buried in dread, waiting. For his return. For some disturbance from outside; for screams, for thumps, for the eruption of chaos that comes every day. It doesn’t come. You only hear the deliberate movement of bodies trying not to be heard.

You get up and near the door. You grasp the handle and turn it, slowly, easing it around until the mechanism stops. You’re locked in. Fuck. It’s not a surprise but you want to know what’s going on out there.

You lean against the door, cupping your ear with your hand as you try to hear. Who is it? How many? What are they up to? It’s just a shuffle that you can’t make sense of, capped by the final and jarring snap of the front door. You can tell which it is by the weight of it, by the subtle creak of wood beneath several pairs of feet.

You retreat back to bed and sit, thinking. Ransom’s scent lingers along with the dread. They must be plotting something new. Another chase, another game, another humiliation. There’s a new girl so that means you all must suffer. That’s how it works. Their fun is your punishment.

You go into the bathroom and crank on the tub. It’s a small relief amidst the oppression of this place. You ease into the water and recline against the porcelain. There is no sense in letting them taint what little time you’re afforded to yourself. Those tiny moments when you can try to retrieve your sanity.

You think of the night before. You feel weak as the heat of the water seeps into you but there remains that sliver of anger, fueled by the memory of Dahlia’s words. Of the fury laced in her voice. You can’t do this for yourself but when you think of the other girls, you find it hard to admit defeat.

You don’t emerge until the water is cold. You pull the stopper and go through the usual. The routine that’s become second nature. To keep yourself moisturised and pretty for these tormentors. It brings a sardonic chuckle to your throat. You do it nonetheless, there is something soothing in the simple tasks.

You put on a white dress; a simple short baby doll. You go to the window and look out at the back deck, the pool sparkling in the morning light. Leaves sway above reflecting in the water and birds flit from branch to branch.

The soft click of the lock beneath your door handle jolts you. You turn to face the door as it opens and you repress a tide of fury as Hela smiles at you. She’s back in a flowing caftan, patterned with geometrical bands and edged with a crochet scallop. She looks ridiculous.

“Breakfast is served, Lily Flower,” she declares, “won’t you come join us?”

You don’t say a word. You come forward but she doesn’t move from your path. She watches you with a placid smile.

“Lily, do you forget all I’ve taught you already?” She challenges.

“No, Gaia, I am coming,” you assure her flatly. “I remember… I remember it all.”

She looks down at you and her lips curl further. She hums into a laugh, “you are still my favourite. I always knew you were the prettiest of my flowers.”

You try not to show your distaste. She is condescending. You see it now. Those nights you sat at your computer in those nonsense seminars, she was conditioning you, all of you.

She leans in and you fight not to recoil. She tilts your chin up with her long fingers and kisses your lips. You let her and she parts with a sultry breath.

“So sweet,” she whispers and gives a final stroke to your cheek.

She spins, her caftan fluttering and leads you through to the dining room. You take your seat among the several other girls already arranged around the long table. Azalea stares dead ahead, Zinnia’s head hangs low behind her hands, and Violet traces her fingertips over the table as if drawing a picture.

The others are brought in, one by one; Dahlia claims the seat beside you, Marigold emerges with her black hair in tangles, wearing the same outfit as days ago, Daisy enters without expression or reaction, and Rose looks around with an almost cloudy look in her eyes.

Hela floats in and out. She sets a dish of fruit before each of you, along with a cup of greek yogurt, and some yellowish tea with a pungent smell. You all just sit without reaction, glancing at each other in uncertainty.

“Please, dig in, girls, we have a day planned for all of us. We will take yoga on the deck. You recall our first days. And we will have some trust building activities. This is about rejuvenation. As the season comes to an end, we must all welcome new beginnings–”

“What?” Dahlia growls.

Azalea pops her head up, “is it… fall?”

Violet glances out the sliding doors, “the night comes earlier…”

There’s a lull as you all realise it’s been so long since your arrival. So long that you hadn’t noticed the changes all around you. You can smell it in the air, the slow transition is coming, you see it in the sky.

You exhale and peek over at Dahlia. She looks back at you from the corner of her eye as she picks up the bamboo spoon and examines it. A new safeguard. Can’t do much damage with that. She scoops up the yogurt as the other girls languish in their dissonance.

“I can’t believe we’ve come this far,” Dahlia declares.

You grab your spoon and mirror her, the other girls doing the same, going around the table until you’re all choking down the flavourless yogurt in a silent accord. You will play along. The season is not the only change coming.

💐

A day passes, then two. With no hint of the men. It’s strange but ominous. Almost as if knowing the men are around is comforting. Then at least, you know what to expect.

You have another morning yoga session, on your color-coded mats, by the pool. Each of you follow Hela’s direction; making the moves, taking each breath long and low. After, you laze around the pool in a communal daze.

You’re unnerved by the languidity that’s settled over the house. It echoes those early days when this was only a retreat, when it was fun, when it felt like summer camp. When you still wore your own name.

There’s something coming. There has to be. 

Dahlia lays beneath a pair of square sunglasses, as black as her string bikini. Her muscles shine with sweat as the sun kisses her skin. You see the strength corded around her petite frame.

Hela looms not far away, on one of the longers as she has Violet sit near her. They speak in hushed tones. Each of you has your turn, beckoned to ingratiate yourself to the mighty Gaia. You roll over and put your chin in your hand.

Your eyes settle on Zinnia. She sits alone, heading hanging, hugging her knees. You can’t imagine how alone she must feel. The rest of you came here together, you went through each step with a sense of camaraderie, but she was introduced to you all as another set of abusers. Your guilt bubbles over and you stand, leaving Dahlia by herself.

You near Zinnia, almost shyly, and stop before her. She doesn’t look up, she only cowers in your shadow. 

“Can I sit?” You ask.

She doesn’t answer, just shrugs. You lower yourself across from her and cross your legs. You don’t know what to say, you just felt like you had to come over.

“I’m Lily.”

She sniffs and picks her thumbnail. You take a breath and glance over. Hela watches you. You don’t doubt she’ll be curious but what else are you supposed to do? You’re all just sitting around, waiting.

“I know I can’t apologise because what happened happened. I’d hate all of us too. I could point out that we’re just the same but that won’t change how you feel. I’m not trying to absolve myself. I’m just trying to say you’re not alone so… if you ever need anything, I can do my best and I can speak for the rest that they will too.”

She blinks at the ground then slowly raises her head. She meets your eye and you wince. Her cheek ticks and her eyes gleam.

“I remember you,” she murmurs, “in the meetings. We were in the same breakout group.”

Your lips part and you gape at her. She is familiar. Oh, god. She’s just another dupe.

“Corrine,” you remember and she nods, her tears flowing out. “It’s a beautiful name but you can’t use it here.”

She gulps and wipes her cheeks, “I know. He told me—” she turns her head away, “he taught me my name.”

You shake your head and aver your eyes in turn. You don’t know what to do or say. She puts her legs down and leans forward, touching your arm gently, “I’m not mad at any of you. I’m scared.”

“We all are,” you assure her, “and you do need to be mad. At them. The men.”

The Bastard Lovechild Of An Intro And A Masterlist

Hi! welcome to hell.

so this is an official intro to me and also my writing!

You can call me Countdown if you wanna,  (after my ao3 username thefinalcountdown!)

my pronouns are they/them, and it/its, but I like neos too!

I'm auDHD, and also a minor.

My interests are varied, but currently my brain is being occupied by dc (mostly batfam, speedsters, and not-cartoon young justice) and little bit of bsd

i enjoy writing, and have a list of wips. My goal is to use tumblr to crowdsource enough motivation to write.

Basically, I'm gonna create polls with various wips and have people vote! and also asks would be cool. an also I’ll yap about stuff

(a note: if you want to find my writing, and not just reblogs, i'd recommend using this post to search for specific tags.

the “countdown’s writer thoughts” tag is for writing adjacent stuff)

What I’m currently prioritizing:

bridge the gap, and then back to Step Left For A Better Future

oh, I also have a roleplay blog! @stop-calling-me-a-catboy

A quick DNI

Basic DNI criteria, anti-therians, anti-xenogenders, anti-microlabels, nsfw blogs

anyway, a list of my wips!

Kids In The Dark

Starring: pre-named, post-Hawaii Kon, an original character of mine, and a surprise crossover character (and trust me, it’s not someone you could have predicted)

In which Superboy meets a mysterious vigilante known only as Rebel, who seems to have an odd interest in his… health and wellbeing?

Notes: all the relationships between our main trio are completely platonic! Found family, baby. Also, probably have a surprise extra AU bit added

Angst Level: Some

Batgirl, Batgirl, Batgirl…Superboy?

Starring: Newly-personed Kon, Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Wayne, and Barbara Gordon

Inspired by: Suzukiblu’s wip “The Gotham Kid”

In which a Superboy new-to-existing flees to Gotham, the one place no one would ever look for him. The one and only Spoiler finds herself rather displeased with his situation. Apparently, genes CAN be passed on by found family…

Notes: the Batfamily are cryptids in this one, and the vigilante names might change (so might the title, frankly), once again, around family is the goal! Probably will include stephcass, though.

Angst Level: some. Kon is not doing the best.

Into The Robin-Verse

Starring: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne, Duke Thomas, Maps Mizoguchi, and Carrie Kelley (and possibly Cassandra Wayne)

Due to a rather unfortunate mishap, assorted Robins hailing from assorted timelines and universes have all appeared to ruin Dick Grayson’s day

Notes: once again, platonic relationships

Angst Level: Not insignificant . All of the Robins are stressed, and have issues.

me & you (at the end of the world)

Starring: Yosano Akiko and Ozaki Kouyou

When she’s attacked while walking home from school, the last thing twelve-year-old Ozaki Kouyou expects is to manifest a sword-wielding phantom. And then, before she has time to catch her breath, Kouyou finds herself whisked away from her home and family, summoned to an endless warfront. There, she meets eleven-year-old Yosano Akiko, the only other child—and only other Gifted—in the battalion. Together, the Angel Of Death and the Demon Of Mercy might just make it.

Notes: this is a Kousano fic. It’s not vary shippy at first, considering they’re kids and also actively at war, but that’s where it’s going.

Angst Level: WARNING: This is probably the heaviest fic on here. It deals with themes of war, death, killing, childhood trauma and some implied sexual assault. Stay safe.

Step Left For A Better Future

the ao3 link!!!

Starring: Stephanie Brown and Jason Todd, with a fair bit of Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Cassandra Wayne and Bruce Wayne

Inspired By: the handful of Steph in Titans-Tower fics in existence

Stephanie Brown knows she was never meant to be Robin. She knows she’s just a stand-in till Tim’s dad pulls his head out of his ass. She doesn’t even mind it! (Mostly) 

But she is getting pretty fucking tired of literally EVERY SINGLE asshole in the entirety of Gotham City waving that fact directly in her face.

So when the Red Hood shows up in Titans Tower, yammering about replacements and revenge, Steph is at her limit.

And when the Red Hood reveals exactly who he used to be?

She snaps.

Notes: You’re kidding yourself if you think Jason wasn’t Steph’s Robin. Also, no batcest here or ever

Angst Level: This one is significantly less humorous than all of the Steph-in-Titans-Tower fics I’ve read. Steph’s going through it, Jason’s going through it…everyone suffers before we get any joy. May evolve into a series (who am i kidding, it probably will)

bite back

Starring: Akutagawa Gin, Akutagawa Ryuunosuke and an original character (also Atushi may feature eventually)

Ability users are a rumor, under the noses of most of society. But there’s a world even more secret than that of the ability users—the Supernaturals. Species with magic in their blood. (though there are magical humans)

The Akutagawa siblings never really knew their parents. And they didn’t know their family’s secret: their mother was a wolf shifter, a werewolf. The siblings’ wolf traits have been (mostly) invisible till now, due to unmet needs, an unsupportive environment, and a spell of their mother’s.

But all that changes when the Supernaturals reveal themselves to Yokohama’s Tripartite System, and a mysterious wolf shifter catches the siblings' scents…and recognizes them as her long-dead sister’s pups.

Notes: werewolves and pack dynamics go brrr

Angst: it’s the Akutagawa siblings. So yeah, it’s pretty damn angsty

finders keepers

Starring:Stephanie Brown, Dick Grayson, assorted batfam members

Inspired By: i don’t actually remember the fic

Dick Grayson has seen a lot of things in his undead life. But seeing a father leave his own goddamn daughter out as bait still manages to shake him. Luckily, Bruce imparted in him one very important rule when it comes to children who or have unfit guardians…finders keepers. This is how he ends up with Stephanie Brown

Noted: found family yaaaayyyyyy

Angst Level: quite a bit, but there will be comfort

Girl Meets Bird

Starring: Barbara Gordon, Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Kate Kane, with some Jim Gordon

Look, Babs didn’t mean to become a dark creature of the night…at least, not at first. At first, she just wanted to fight crime. In Gotham. At night. Whilst being twelve and mostly untrained.

Notes: cryptid batfam, but it’s early batfam, and follows Babs in her feral teenager era

Angst: Currently the least angsty idea on here.

Weapons No More

Starring: Cassandra Wayne and Kon-El, with some Bats

In most universes, Superboy spends his first years of life all but fending for himself. In this one, Cassandra Wayne was found earlier. And when Cass meets Superboy for the very first time, it feels like looking in a mirror. And if there’s one thing that being a Wayne has taught her, it’s to reach out a hand to a kid in need

Notes: Cass basically went “mine. My new family” on sight

Angst: we got clone angst, we got Cass angst we got teenage rebellion…

the ruination of a moonflower

Starring: Ozaki Kouyou, Izumi Kyouka, and Nakahara Chuuya

Ozaki Kouyou knows that the Port Mafia is the only place for her. She’s poured years of effort, and pints of blood both hers and not, all to mold this organization into one she can be proud to be part of. And then suddenly Chuuya’s been attacked. And this wouldn’t have been a problem because her protégé can take care of himself just fine—except it is. It is a problem because now her little brother’s in a hospital bed and she doesn’t know what went wrong. It was supposed to be an easy mission. And now Kouyou revenge to enact. And then before she knows it…something’s changed. Somethings broken. And something has to give.

Notes: I have a whole-ass series planned for this one, and it’s a wild ride.

Angst: a lot. This one hurts, guys

it gets better

Starring: Stephanie Brown and Wally West

Being a teenage vigilante is hard. Being a teenage vigilante without any kind of backup or support is harder. Being a teenage vigilante without any kind of backup or support, with a supervillian dad and a civilian name nobody in the whole damn world even knows is impossible. Now, Steph has been…managing it, because “impossible” isn’t a concept she subscribes to—but even Steph can’t go it alone forever. And look, it’s not like she can just acquire vigilante backup, and she’s already attempting to handle the whole “my dad is a supervillian” bit (see teenage vigilantism), but she CAN do something about her name. So, that’s why Steph makes an account on itgetsbetter.com, a website connecting young trans people with older members of their community. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than nothing.

Notes: yeah, this is a bit of a wild one. But yeah, transfem Steph and transmasc Wally digital friendship. (Also, don’t worry, Steph and Wally are gonna remain platonic, this is NOT a ship-centric fic)

Angst: I will be touching on the canonical child abuse in both Steph and Wally’s backstories, as well as the transphobia both of them have to deal with. Plus normal sad vigilante activities, so yeah, angst is very much here.

prepare for trouble (& make it double)

Starring: Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown

Tim Drake is used to being alone. His parents don't spend much time with him, but that's alright! It gives him time for photography, watching Batman and Robin, and finding all of Gotham City’s best rooftops.

Stephanie Brown is used to being alone. Her parents have other things to do, like her mom with her work and her dad with his being a huge asshole. But that's alright, Steph would rather spend her time memorizing Gotham City's back allies and learning how to win a fistfight.

Neither of them expect that fact to change.

But neither of them expect to find a best friend in a gymnastics class, either.

Notes: okay the first part I wrote ended up wildly differing from where I thought it’d go but I have something of a plan now

Angst: I knew there was gonna be angst but, um. There’s more angst now.

flightless

Starring: Carrie Kelley & the other bats but mostly Carrie

Carrie Kelley has a secret. She knows. And the things that Carrie knows scare her. Like the names of all of Gotham’s vigilantes…past, present and future. Or the exact number of times the timeline has been altered. (Spoiler, it’s a lot.) Or the fact that she was once Robin, but has never worn the costume in her lifetime.

Or the fact that she witnessed the end of the world.

Notes: Uh oh! Seems the universe has glitched a little…Surely that won’t go badly?

Angst: does this count as horror? Like, maybe? It’s sad, anyway. Sad and trippy

What Goes Bump In The Night

Starring: The Batfamily

Gotham City is cursed. This is not new information to literally anybody who lives there, nor to anyone who knows literally anything about the city at all. Gotham City is cursed multiple times. This fact is a tad more obscure. Gotham City is alive. This fact is the only one of the three that may constitute an actual secret.

And Gotham City has favorites. 

None more so than the Bats who patrol Her city, protecting Her people, and bringing hope to those who had none. 

And Lady Gotham’s (as those who know the truth call Her) favoritism comes with…consequences.

Notes: oho what’s this? A cryptid Batfamily AU? And it’s a series!

Angst: Will vary from fic to fic. There will be some elements of horror in them all, though.

a shape all your own

Starring: Damian Wayne and Stephanie Brown (maybe with Cass and Tim appearances?)

Son of the Bat

Grandson of the Demon’s Head

These titles have defined Damian for as long as he can remember. And yet…

And yet recently, they have started to feel…wrong. 

Incorrect, at the very least. Damian is most certainly not the only son Father has.

And…Damian has…noticed something. Because sometimes Damian feels wrong. Like his skin doesn’t quite fit over his bones.

He wonders how long it’s been there.

H̶e̶ ̶w̶o̶n̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶m̶e̶a̶n̶s̶ ̶h̶e̶’̶s̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶.̶

Notes: oh hmmm…wonder if you can guess what this is gonna be…hehe ;) 

Angst: definitely some.

recognition of the self

Starring: Dick Grayson and Wally West

When Wally West was ten years old, he recreated the experiment that granted Barry Allen—the Flash—his speed. Intentionally.

What the Wally West of ten years hadn’t known was that—just like the Flash—he hadn’t just developed superpowers.

He had traded his humanity for something…beyond. Greater. Other.

When Dick Grayson was ten years old, he was violently torn from his old life—for the second time.

And the Dick Grayson of ten years quickly realized that this time might not bring hope for any future at all.

And the Dick Grayson of ten years quickly realized was that this time might not bring hope for any future at all.

This is how they meet. This is what happens after.

Notes: Yuppers, it’s a birdflash fic!

Angst: yeah this one hurts a little (more than a little)

TEETH

Inspired by: Swayed and Drawn

Starring:Kon-El and Tim Drake (with high chance of bonus bats and maybe Jon Kent)

Now, when one runs away in a fit of teenage rebellion, Gotham City is, technically, a place you could go. However, why you would ever willingly choose to step foot in that hellhole requires a significant psych eval.

Kon’s reasoning is perfectly and totally justifiably sane, thank you very much. 

Meaning: No way in hell is Superman going to look for him here.

(That’s the only reason, at least at first.

At least until the very reasons Superman would never find him here…start to become the very reasons he keeps coming back)

Notes: hello cryptid bats in a Timkon fic

Angst: you know me, you saw the title…this will be a little bit dark

bridge the gap

Starring: Bart Allen and Tim Drake

Bart is pretty sure the future hates him. It seems like everything he does is wrong and nobody will tell him why and—

And it hadn’t—

He hadn't seen how it could have been wrong. 

It was just clothes, after all.

He thought he’d looked nice.

Or: Bart wears a skirt to school. Nobody was happy about it. This is the aftermath.

Or: Impulse doesn’t really vibe with the future’s ideas about gender and how you’re supposed to perform it.  He doesn’t expect Robin to get it.

Notes: GNC and trans feels in the house tonight! Also heavily implied neurodivergence. Is this gonna be a timbart fic? Uhhh…maybe? There is good chance I do love timbart, but if it is it will probably be more pre-slash. 

Angst: Some.

of betterment & butterflies

(It’s a series btw)

Starring: Stephanie Brown & Young Justice

Ship: eventual spoilsecrets, probably several others because its Young Justice

When Spoiler and Robin partner with fellow teenage heroes Impulse and Superboy to rescue a mysterious ghost girl from the DEO, the last thing the duo expects is to form a team.

But, well. Then the grown-ups disappear. And then they find the Justice Cave. And then they beat Bedlam

And suddenly, the idea of a team doesn’t seem so unreasonable. 

But Young Just Us—or rather, Young Justice, if you’re anybody who isn’t Impulse—still have trials ahead of them

And none of them come without preexisting baggage.

So, that leaves us all with one final question:

Can this unpolished, unlikely, uncoordinated team of teenage dirtbags make it?

Notes: Yup! Its the Steph in Young Justice AU! And boy oh boy its gonna be a wild ride! And require a lot of consulting wikis lmao.

Angst: This is Young Justice, silly! Of course they all have issues.

[vesanal]

₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊The 8th Day of Writemas₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊

Hiya y’all!! Day 8 is here!! So here is the invite post and here is the day 8 prompts! I wanna say thanks so much for all of the support and thanks so much again @agirlandherquill for hosting this event for all of us!! I really like the prompts for today too. :D

Prompts used:

Feeling: The ache of the wind snatching air from lungs

Dialogue: "Can you forgive me?"

Setting: A graveyard

Today gave me strong Perci vibes and I love to write for him so here is more lol. My tragic boy I love him so yeah also this one is going to be much shorter because I’m extremely busy rn and should be studying instead of writing but here I am LOL Anyway,

Read about the WIP here!!

Please enjoy!

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

Snow covered the once freshly filled dirt hole in the ground. A snowstorm brewed around the Across the fenced in grounds, hundreds of stone graves covered the area that looked just like the one Perci stood before. Each one had a name, a family that they belong to. A family that was stripped from them long ago, fighting a seemingly endless battle. One that still cursed the land of gracious Pytharios. So, effectively, their deaths were all for naught.

Locking his eyes back to the headstone in front of him, Perci read back over the words engraved into it that he had seen thousands of times before. 

“Can you forgive me?” Perci began, hanging his mouth open trying to properly articulate himself as the wind whipped the right words out of him, “I wish I listened to you. You were right. And I was wrong. You wanted to protect me and I never listened.”

He stopped himself before he could unload all of his thoughts out to a simple stone sticking out of the ground. He panted frantically. The heavy winds wanted to knock him on his feet for voicing his silly concerns. This was war. All conflicts get solved through it. It was necessary to live. With life comes war that’ll take it from you, along with everything else. Perci, almost falling over, stumbled as a burst of wind crashed into him. The bleak, loveless winds knew better than a sentient being, of course.

“I shouldn’t have gone against your will. I just thought that—Well—I—I thought you would appreciate me following in your footsteps. I see now what you meant then. Why did I go? I just wanted to learn some magic and get a job to help out you and mom. And then I got good, too good for my own good! And then— the… mandate. I didn’t want any of this!” 

Perci half expected the grave to answer, fully knowing the man below would never answer anything ever again. He scoffed at himself for being so naive. 

“I suppose I would be following in your footsteps now. Graduated. Drafted. Then, finally dead. In a graveyard surrounded by thousands of other men who were given the same cruel fate as I have on this day.” Perci managed to wheeze a few gasping laughs of it all but laughing wouldn’t help him now and he knew it. He really was as good as dead out there, as far as he knew about the strange world beyond the familiar horizons that he would soon leave behind in the coming days.
