just so obsessed with the idea of revali silently loving link and pining so much for him, but holding back because he's already created this facade that he despises link, because zelda and mipha already loved him first, because why would link ever choose him? so revali keeps it all inside and tries to display his bitterness at unreciprocated love as jealousy and arrogance at the imbalance of their roles, and tries desperately to fall out of love with link.
but it's as though the little hylian won't let him.
link, who practically insists on staying by revali during battle, who stares at revali with that wide blue-eyed gaze, who naps peacefully with his head in revali's lap when they're alone. and revali should be ecstatic at how close they are, but it hurts more than anything. this isn't fair to him, to be so tantalizingly close to link but to never be able to have him more than this. it's so suffocating, revali doesn't think he can stand to do this any longer, or else it might kill him.
but he continues to let link do whatever he pleases; silently tagging along after revali to the archery range, sitting beside him at mealtimes and letting him sneak more bites from revali's plate as though revali doesn't see him, even going as far as to let link sleep with him in his hammock after what revali assumed to have been a very bad nightmare. no one says a single word when revali and link arrive late to breakfast, with link clinging sleepily to revali's wing and revali looking strangely peaceful.
try as he might (he's not trying at all), revali can't say no to link (and neither does he want to), so he supposes he might as well endure this suffering a little longer.
"why do you let me do all this?" link whispers to him once, in the dead of the night, wrapped around revali in his hammock. and revali is silent for a moment, trying to come up with some sort of answer that could defend his actions. but he can't.
"i don't know," he says simply. he can't tell link the truth.
"does it bother you?"
"do you think you'd still be in my bed practically choking me to death with how tightly you're wrapped around me if it did?" revali winces at how biting his words are, but link just hums and snuggles deeper into revali's neck. he doesn't stop link.
"if it bothered you, you'd tell me, right?" the little hylian murmurs.
revali thinks about it for a moment. and he decides, no, i wouldn't. if you wished to be warm, i'd let you use my body as fuel for a campfire.
"go to sleep," he says aloud instead, softly, gently. he couldn't tell link that either, and he probably never would be able to. he wouldn't ever have the chance. "we have battles to prepare for in the morning."
revali wraps his wings snug around the blond, and link practically purrs in content, dozing off immediately into the warmth. like this, the rito almost smiles. if burning himself alive was the only way to have link, even for just a moment that couldn't always be guaranteed, then revali would just have to make sure he stayed alight; to be the bonfire keeping link warm throughout the night.

skate park with new friends for diego !! <3
prev || next
Diego may be in over his head. Between his crush, weird werewolves bullying him, and arguments with his dad, he wants to escape. It is a welcome distraction when Sam texts him out of the blue to come skate with them and some of their friends on Sunday morning. He grabs his old reliable skateboard and heads out to the industrial area of San Myshuno. Sam and Cassandra greet him as they stand just an inch too close and share glances. He wonders if they're dating. He meets Cassandra's best friend, Bobbi, who sneers at him. ("Don't worry about her. She just doesn't like new people.") He meets Alvaro and Bonnie, a cute couple who are in their own little world. ("She's teaching him how to skate, but he has the balance of drunk elephant.")
It's fun being with everyone and feeling the wind on his face as he skates around with Bobbi and Cassandra. Sam is off doing tricks on the ramps daring them to be as adventurous as them. They all laugh and cheer Sam on, but no one else does anything cooler than an ollie.
Eventually, they sit down in a cluster near a fence, and Sam and Bobbi get into a heated debate over politics and Diego feels a small lurch of joy in his chest. He could get used to this.

You ever just read a fanfic that rots your brain so much that you had no choice but to make a comic out of it? Yeah.
Anyway, here's the first 1000 words of A Mirror in the Dark by Fastern on Ao3 illustrated.
(Click for better quality)
I know I could have picked some sort of big scene to illustrate, but idk man, I felt like going from the beginning even if it doesn't seem like much is happening. Trust me when I say this is the best Traitor Kaminari fic I have ever read. My initial plan was to do the whole first chapter but then I realized I didn´t have infinite time so have these 8 pages instead!
Anyway, go read the fic right now. You will not be disappointed.

dean is super possessive of sam, but it’s like this: dean doesn’t care if sam fucks women sometimes. dean does too. sometimes you just want a taste, you know? but what dean will not allow is sam to fuck another dude. girls are one thing, it’s not cheating if sam is banging someone working with different material than dean. but guys? guys hit too close to home. sam can only have one cock, and that’s deans. cas, though…
s: what about cas?
d: what about cas?
s: we fuck him!
d: cas doesn’t count! obviously!
s: why not? he’s a guy. he’s got a dick that isn’t yours.
d: he’s family, sam!
s: do you even hear yourself?
d: c’mon, dude. you know what i meant.
s: yeah, i do, and it’s incredibly fucked up.
d: yeah, well, fucked up ain’t anything new for us, is it?
