#areus writing

[areus-in-a-little-cave]

worst thing in the world is when you want to write a fic soooo bad but you just. are not getting into the flow and the opening lines feel so dull and strained

[sparatus]

IS THAT FORTUNATE SON CHAPTER TWO I SEE

YEAH I SWEAR IT STILL EXISTS

wip folder game

fortunate son is an examination of the sparatus family immediately after shanxi, specifically the eldest son areus as he struggles with the changes that come with his father's promotion to councilor. in this second chapter, areus returns home to the citadel in time for his youngest sibling's 6th birthday and his father's inauguration, and notes with growing resentment each new security measure and every desperate microphone now trained on him.

oops i got excited, a snip:

--

Dad and Verres weren't hard to find. Verres was nervous in crowds, and Dad had always been an expert in the fine art of camera dodging as long as Areus had known him, so all he had to do was find the quietest corner with the best view, and there they were, plain as day. Ironically, Areus thought, it would have made a great PR photo: the living legend feared by every criminal from there to the end of the galaxy and back again, about to be the most important turian in xenopolitics, gently leaning over his son and pointing out different ships flying through the nebula in a soft voice. Verres followed his hand with rapt attention, eyes wide with curiosity. Shame Dad had threatened the press with every lawsuit possible if they so much as thought about their cameras where his underage children were involved.

Areus glanced down at Cal, still absorbed in her play, and flicked a mandible. “Hey, Callie," he whispered, tapping his thumb-claw on her hand to get her attention.

She halted abruptly and tipped her head with a chirp, and he leaned in conspiratorially. “You wanna sneak up on Siön and Verres?"

Her eyes lit up, and he purred as he leaned down to scoop her up. “Alright, we’re gonna be really quiet, okay?" he murmured, settling her against his cowl.

At her very serious little nod, he chuffed and kept walking. She had to stifle a giggle with her hands, but that was fine. She was only five, after all.

If Dad had heard, he hadn't made any sign, just continuing to watch out the window. “... and there's the Enninion," he was saying as they slunk forward, pointing out the massive dreadnought loitering at the edge of the reserved docking space. “She was at Shanxi. Dreadnoughts need a lot of space to dock, so she's going to wait until these transports get out of the way so she can approach without hitting anyone."

Verres whirred. He still chewed on his thumb-claw, apparently, and had it in his mouth as he leaned on Dad’s leg. "Which one had Areus in it, again?"

Areus looked at Callie, who slapped her hands over a manic giggle, and lifted his mandibles as he took another step forward. “It's hard to tell," he whirred before Dad could speak, and Verres's little gasp of recognition was all he needed to hear. “They all look the same, y’know."

Dad twisted his head, Verres spun around, and Areus shifted his grip on his sister so he could beckon his brother in, too. “Hiya, Ver."

He had maybe three seconds to brace before his legs were almost knocked out from under him, again, by the full force of a very large eight-year-old’s surge forward to hug him. He nearly dropped Cal, and would have fallen over if not for the long, calloused hand snapping onto his bicep to hold him steady. “Fuck, easy, kid,” he puffed, shuffling his feet to regain his balance and wrapping his arm around Verres's cowl. “You got strong while I was gone, huh?"

Verres just snuffled, shoving his face against Areus’s fatigues. A deeper, softer voice answered for him, one that made Areus's heart roll over in his chest at the first note. "We’ve been playing clawball after I get off work, to build his confidence.” Dad made sure he was steady before releasing his arm, looking him up and down with mandibles slightly raised. Whatever he saw, he must have been satisfied, because he clasped his hands behind his back and purred. “Welcome home, Areus."

Claw scratched against metal. If Areus squinted, he was sure he'd be able to see his father vibrating with the effort of holding himself back.

Areus had to agree.

He nudged Verres aside, and set Cal down, and crossed the single remaining stride to throw himself into the arms already spreading and waiting for him by the time he got there. Dad's subvocals whirred a whole mess of emotions, grief and relief and ache, but above all else rose love, strong and thrumming and woven into every cell of him, and for just a moment, Areus forgot the last year. This was no councilor-to-be, no diplomat struggling with the PR disaster he’d inherited – this was only his siön, the man who’d taken him outside on clear polar nights to count the stars and taught him to race dazduus across the summer tundra. Councilor Sparatus was a name on an office door, and Ierian was here, holding Areus's face in his hands and weeping that it was solid. “My boy," he whispered, and Areus’s heart sang in harmony with his as the love contained in those two little words flowed between them and overflowed. “My son, my boy."

Areus tried to rumble back, but it came out a whimper. He leaned into the touch and closed his eyes, breathing in the sea-brine and spiced mead that he’d known since before he could remember. “Hi, Siön," he mumbled. “I missed you guys."

Dad just sucked in a deep, shaking breath. “I prayed – I begged Ragged Pelt and Bloodied Track to bring you home safe." The hands on Areus's mandibles trembled. Dad had been raised in the old faith, the ancient gods that protected Tiirtias before the Cipritinians and their spirits came, and you didn't dare speak their names aloud unless you were sure you wanted the attention. Areus guessed the tundra’s native son had earned the right to petition the old ones a thousand times over. “When we heard about Shanxi, I- I carved a hundred talismans, burned a hundred offerings. And they listened, and the treaty was signed, and here you are.”

Chapters: 1/5 Fandom: Mass Effect Trilogy Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sparatus (Mass Effect)/Original Female Character(s) Characters: Sparatus (Mass Effect), Original Turian Character(s) Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, Canon Era, Alien Culture, Politics, Family Dynamics, Family Feels, Original Character-centric Summary: Areus is a reclusive sort, bookish and more interested in the stars than in combat training. He's relieved he narrowly missed being sent to war by the skin of his teeth. He's got a family name that can get him anywhere stamped on his chest, but so aloof half his squadron forgets who else it's attached to. He really just wants a quiet life, left alone to his studies, never to be bothered.

Unfortunately for him, that family name is Sparatus, and in the wake of Relay 314, quiet is the last thing the new turian councilor's eldest son is going to get.

i think a couple weeks ago or so on my main i had the idea for a one-shot about the sparatus family immediately after sparky is made councilor, especially his eldest son areus who’s in basic training at the time. well the one-shot evolved into a 5-shot, oopsie

i’m still working on itlog i swear i just also have 500 other ideas that want to come out too

Tom x f! Reader

Okay so I was listening to music and thought abt what to write since I haven't wrote something like this in FOREVER and I'm sorry but here's this

I'm still working on the other one..

Don't mind the fact it's been like a month or more.. Shhh

Y - you

T - tom

F - friend

E - ex (e/n ex name)

Warnings - a little angst

🎀🎀🎀

It was a very dark and gloomy day today and on top of it all ur boyfriend of 7 years just broke up with u today.. So you were walking around crying ur arms crossed over ur stomach basically bawling ur eyes out, u had accidentally bumped into someone so u look up to say sorry and ur eyes are met with beautiful dark brown ones, ur jaw basically dropped the tears turning into just clear stains on ur face and pretty quickly due to the wind tom had noticed but didnt say anything because he didnt know you (yet)

Y - ".. S.. Sorry"

? - "it's okay beautiful"

Your face was such a bright red it wasn't even funny maybe it was love at first sight? You hadn't realized who it was at first but then you took a few steps back and saw it was...

Y - "AREU TOM FREAKING KAUL-"

u get cut off by tom smacking a hand over your mouth making ur eyes go wide and you let out muffled screams but he told you to shh

T - "shh im not gonna hurt u princess, i just need u to quiet down so people dont notice me"

you had quieted down once he started talking and you just nod ur head as he takes his hand off ur mouth he had also asked if you wanted to go home with him, you said yes and he opened up his passenger seat for you to get in next to him. you guys had been talking for a while now outside, in his car on the way home, in his drive way, inside his house.

so i guess thats how you ended up here, cuddling the man of your dreams while watching a movie slowly but surely falling asleep in his soft warm touch, him playing with ur hair pulling u closer and closer by the second not wanting to let go.

the next morning was a whole different story!

u had woke up to the sound of stuff being slammed down, you went to check the time on ur phone and noticed messages spammed all the way down ur phone

"E/N💗 99+ messages"

U heard a big *THUMP* and got out of Tom's bed and went down stairs trying to find ur way to his kitchen once u did u went over to him wrapping ur arms around his shoulders from the top leaning ur head on his back.

Y - "hey are u alright? There's a lot of banging.."

He turned around taking your hands off him putting them at your side and turning back around.

T - "...who is that's guy texting ur phone.."

Y - "huh what are you talking about"

T - "that.. That guy who keeps spamming ur phone.. Are you dating him."

Ur eyes widened and the realization u felt horrible u had totally forgot to change his name in ur contacts after u guys broke up, so you took about an hour or so talking to tom telling him the whole story making sure not to leave out any details even though you guys weren't dating or anything you just wanted to reassure him so nothing got bad before it even started.

After a while of you guys like talking and becoming really good friends he asked u to start dating and obviously u said yes! You guys mad so many great memories over the years and hod so much fun, even when u guys fought you would take a break and then talk it out.

Such a cute healthy relationship!

🎀🎀🎀

Umm okay I got lazy towards the end and it's rushed because I feel I need to get something out so enjoy this pls!

[bipolbur]

i like having someone i can like. attribute to a fic like with washed up it’s trinket, with the sun was sinking it’s sock, with ache performing apathy it’s areus, bc i am 10x more likely to write when i know there is someone specifically i can disappoint with not writing

[phantoids]

My #1 post of 2022

Technoblade leaves the Dream SMP server in the middle of the night.

He doesn’t take anything with him. No armor, no weapons, nothing. He doesn’t even take his dogs or Steve. Only Carl, the stable emptied by the first signs of dawn.

Instead, he leaves notes.

One for Ranboo, one for Niki. One for Wilbur, one for Tommy.

He leaves one for Phil too, slightly different than the rest. There’s another line at the bottom, a set of coordinates.

(“To the gates of hell,” Phil had said.

“What about just anywhere but here?” Techno had answered.)

There’s another server. A smaller one, with more sunshine and mob-proofed fences. Where Techno does not ever have to pick up a weapon. Where Techno does not have to continue fighting.

Where there is no need for him to do anything but tend to his farms and sit outside to read, feed Carl carrots and nap as much as he wants. Where the distant crackle of a portal won’t mean anything except the welcomed visit of an old friend.

Where he can rest easy.

Because the war is over.

And dust settles on pain. And regrets become worn with age. And memories will bring strength more than they will sting.

(Perhaps, they will visit. Perhaps, Phil will come along one day and bring with him the people Techno loved and who loved Techno and who Techno hurt and who hurt Techno.

Perhaps they will find something worth holding onto in the ruins dug between them, that will grow flowers again.)

And on this new server, Technoblade is happy.

(And the universe said, you are not alone.)

And on this new server, Technoblade knows peace.

(And the universe said I love you because you are love.)
