#and they snuggle while reading

[imagine-darksiders]

Sharing your home with a clingy, animatronic gator could get, uh, interesting, I think.

[missninapea]

I can't take this negativity anymore, I'm stressed, I'm angry. To help me cope, here's some pics of Azi for y'all.

Uuugh I wish I were there with him. He'd give me warm tea and cookies to make me feel better.😭😭💓

A kiss along the collar bone - For Lenore Ingellvar <3

Thank you very much for asking! <3 (from this list)

Factual Inaccuracies

(Rook Ingellvar/Lucanis Dellamorte | 443 Words | CW: Brief references to poison)

“—and among the bouquet rested a horrible secret, for the petals had been washed in a poison called Silent Death—”

“Did Viago write this? Check the author again,” Lucanis murmured against Rook’s chest. She went on, laughter suffusing the words. Lucanis let his eyes drift half-closed, the better to hear her voice without the distraction of her bare skin.

“—which would surely kill the gentle maiden should she take even a single breath of their sweet scent.”

“Ineffective. Too much collateral damage. Do they think that the maids do not smell flowers when they deliver them to their mistress’s chambers? The flowers would never make it upstairs. A distraction, perhaps, but a kill? No.” 

“Maids plug their noses whenever flowers are near, didn’t you know?” she asked, still laughing. 

When Rook laughed, he could feel the hum of it in her chest, felt his head shift with the motion of her ribs. He turned his head and kissed her twice, feeling warm skin and hard bone beneath his lips. He kissed the dark line of her tattoo stretching over the collarbone, kissed the hollow between that line and her neck. She pressed her lips to his forehead in kind, resting there for several long seconds before leaning back again. 

“Would you like me to skip this bit?” Lenore asked, lifting the book again. “We can pretend the flowers were slipped into her private chambers with an anonymous note or something.”

Lucanis snorted, shifting against her. Rook preferred to sleep wound in long lengths of fabric, as if in emulation of the undead that lived below. More often than not, he found himself kicking the blankets and sheets away when he rested in her bed. He did so now, and covered her leg with his own so she would not feel the chill. 

Spite, who’d been reduced to a not-unpleasant hum in the back of his mind while she read, stirred. Lucanis spoke before Spite could, for he knew by now precisely what the demon would ask for.

“Go on,” he said. “Let’s hear it all, however absurd.”

“Alright,” Rook laughed, smoothing a hand over his hair. “Where was I? Oh—here we are. ‘—should she take even a single breath of their sweet scent. On the day the flowers arrived…’”

Later, he would recall little of the book except its inaccuracies. The story itself mattered less to him than the steady beat of her heart under his ear, the warmth in her voice as she read, the occasional laughter that jostled him from his place at her shoulder. Lucanis let his eyes close again, sinking into her voice and the comfort of her presence.

قالوا: تموت بها حبـاًً، فقلـت لهـم. ألا اذكروها علـى قبـري فتحيينـي

English translation: They asked "Do you love her to death?" | said "Speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life."

MP100 Halloween Fic Recs

It’s spooky month! (And Reigen’s birthday haha)

I’ve been sifting though some fics I read when I first joined the fandom and thought it would be fun to have a combo of some cute, spooky stories, as well as some straight up horror stories (if that’s your jam).

I put the cutesy fics first and the more horrific ones further down the list.

Enjoy!

You Can't Go Trick-or-Treating By Yourself by Originia (Oneshot; 1k)

Mob does not plan on going trick-or-treating this year. Reigen finds out, finds out why, and decides that actually, yes, they are going trick-or-treating and they will do so together.

A little Dad!Reigen fic where he and mob make cute ghost costumes!

Cursed Movie by militarypenguin_archives (Oneshot; 1k)

Mob and Reigen watch a scary movie. Reigen gets scared and tries to brush it off as being cursed… or… was it?

One of my favorite headcanons come to life. Mob isn’t affected by horror movies due to all the ghosts he sees on the daily while Reigen is… well, he’s an adult, therefore he can’t be scared XD

a responsible adult in theory by Prim_the_Amazing (Oneshot; 2k)

He wondered if he should try and push Serizawa to say what he wanted to say, or let him off the hook. Which one would be for the best? “... could drink some of my blood,” he mumbled, he mumbled, and after a moment of incomprehension Reigen choked on his spit.

A cute SeriRei oneshot featuring Vampire!Reigen who forgot his blood bag for the day (and also featuring adults pining and refusing to elaborate their feelings lol).

Working Partners Chapter 3: The Greatest Monsters of All by Lapidist & Art by Marrymeserizawa

Serizawa Katsuya has always been plagued by monsters. This time, he will put an end to it.

A great Fantasy AU featuring Monster!Seri and Vampire!Reigen living in a world of monster vs humans. Claw is a religious organization in this, so steer clear if that’s a topic you wish to avoid.

Slip by ToastyToaster22 (Oneshot; 8k)

Maybe it was that summer break had only just started and Teru was already bored to death. Maybe it was that it always felt a little special when Reigen asked him to help with a case. Whatever it was that made Teru ignore the funny feeling in his chest and agree, he regretted it.

If you want a G rated horror story with a sprinkling of comfort, this is the fic for you! A case fic featuring Teru and Reigen as they embark into the woods, only to… well, I’ll let you find out (here I go to read this for the billionth time it’s PERFECT SPOOKY FIC).

The Quarry fic by tinkertoysdamn & art by fend (Multi chapter; 3.2k)

A mysterious ailment has struck workers at the White Pepper Quarry and Spirits and Such are sent to investigate.

I’m so obsessed with not only this story, but also the TYPESETTING! It’s such a creative piece and really leans into the horror genre well.

Lifeline by hmmeid & art by fend

Tome and Mob take some well deserved time off from Spirits & Such, only to be caught in the web of an evil spirit.

I crave more Tome and Mob friendship fics and this one sates that hunger (AND it’s got some spooky possession scenes yessssss).

Surface Tension fic by Crookedturtle & art by fend

A routine meeting with a client draws Reigen and Serizawa into a dangerous situation—one Reigen can’t help but make worse.

(Can you tell I love fend’s art yet? Lol) A SeriRei case fic turned horror as the two are forced to confront buried feelings and work together to escape a spirit more powerful than either of them realized.

Hiding His Horns (Multi Chapter; 145k)

Teruki Hanazawa, a modern witch and a promising new exorcist wants his childhood hero Reigen Arataka to become his personal mentor and teacher. Too bad Reigen already has a student, and that student, Teruki finds out, is a dangerous demon using the man’s softer side to its advantage.

Brought to you by the author of “The Sword of Damocles” and “Tunnel Vision”, the TeruMob author themself has brought us this fantastic Demon!Mob and Witch!Teru AU (and it’s from Teru’s POV YAY). If you’re not into the romance aspect, although TeruMob is tagged, it’s much more plot heavy than romance oriented. Do heed the tags on this one though. Later chapters can get pretty dark.

The Paper Moon (Multi Chapter: 110k)

It wasn't the rain, or the car, or even dying that ruined his day. The worst was when he woke up, and everything that happened after.

A great, terrifying MP100 horror novel that I BLASTED through in one day (oh my GOD It had me on the edge of my seat, biting into my sweater, screaming into my pillow). HEED THE TAGS! ESPECIALLY in later chapters. It can get into… slight Danny phantom horror territory.

Her ass should be at the club because her ass hates the club and its funny to me when she has a bad miserable time

[ticklace]

I feel like most of my experience of depression boils down to "I have the Lonely, but I cannot make the Conversation"

[bubbledtee]

something in me thinks that if you were dating him, modern!80s!james would call you “honey” when you’re alone together.

[alfieeespams]

For togachako doodles! Perhaps cuddling and or sleepy time?

Thanks for the request, here ya go!! :DD

[kiankiwi]

Whenever I see Big Daddy Elvis, I just wanna cuddle up with him so badly; being held against his hairy chest would be a dream.

ABSOLUTELY!!! (Idk if you’re talking about big daddy as a cg! Or as just a husband but regardless!)

HUSBAND BIG DADDY ERA : I can just see us snuggling up against him on a winters night (he falls asleep when we’re up late reading and we’d rather cuddle up against him (we’re laying back against him as we’re laying in between his legs?) than put on another blanket!!!

CG!BDE: I can see us demanding to sleep in daddy’s big bed bc we hear the beginnings of a thunderstorm and we’re really afraid of the dark +thunder and we’re cuddling up against his shirtless chest and he has his arms wrapped around us tight bc he knows we get spooked by the big noise/

[realtidepod]

[vampirebiter]

my cat reads yaoi with me

[tansyuduri]

*Sprays merlin and Arthur with a spray bottle*

[wafflesrisa]

Has anyone tried to encode the hurt/comfort fanfic you’ve written in your head into actual words on a screen, and then had to ration the number of forehead kisses and hugs, so the scene actually has pacing instead of looking like a six year old whacking dolls repeatedly against each other in violent affection or

[sysig]

Did you expect Rescuing Rusty in 2023??? (RR is @zeejax‘s ♥) (Patreon)

Trick question! Even I wasn’t expecting Rescuing Rusty, but since it was up next on my fics to vet for construction, I had to give it a reread!

Didn’t it turn out lovely 💕 There’s not a lot of sky-related imagery in RR, but I couldn’t not go with this colour - it’s an even richer rust colour IRL :D

The spine ended up being big enough that I was able to sneak in two bookmarks! One for Zoom (the black) and one for Rusty (the red)

Even though they sit separately, Rusty’s still crosses over Zoom’s hehe ♥
