Dossenus and Manducus (Werewolf the Forsaken)

A farce is an exaggerated comedy with outrageous characters in improbable situations. If you asked the Urdeshga to imagine a farce, they could hardly do better than recreate Dossenus and Manducus' scheme, yet the Hosts' operation is deadly serious. That an Azlu and Beshilu could curb their competing instincts to seal/destroy the Gauntlet long enough to work together, let alone cultivate a conspiracy of monstrosity, is absurd to Marisi and Saturi alike, yet that is precisely what has happened. 

Dossenus and Manducus are both pseudonyms; the two Hosts maintain a normal enough appearance that they can blend in amongst the Herd and use a combination of magic and theatre masks to obfuscate their identities at gatherings. Said gatherings are plays for monsters, attended by hungry spirits, pained ghosts, decadent fa-ninnalu, and the twisted shartha. Together, they make merry, sacrifice to bloody gods, and plot the downfall of their lupine oppressors. Even werewolves are welcome at the performances, especially the Paeon and Foederati, but they must swear not to disrupt the proceedings nor reveal what they see and hear. For various reasons, the Marisi, Saturi, and Meninna rarely attend. 

Dossenus is the Azlu, taking their name from the Roman theatre's "Ever-Eating" stock character. Dossenus is the plotter, always searching for the next opportunity, venue, and chance to strike. They have the vision and grandeur to create a spectacle and make a statement. They are the mastermind, putting events in motion and watching the chaos emerge. 

Manducus is "The Chewer," gnawing their way through norms and boundaries - unsurprising given that they are a Belishu. Mandacus is the hype person, always encouraging guests to enjoy themselves and indulge in more wine or meat. Everything they do, from food to theater to murder, is done with the entirety of their being. They lead by example, giving nothing less than their maximum effort at work and play. 

Hiding in the background, the duo has a third partner. The Oracle is an [REDACTED BY ORDER OF THE SENATE - REFER TO NONE MORE DARK PUBLISHING] who uses the gift of foresight to anticipate when and where the Urdeshga will strike next. Her prophecies allow the theatre to stay on the run, showing their productions where they are least likely to be caught. Because of her far more monstrous appearance than her co-conspirators, the Oracle rarely appears in public. Still, she can be glimpsed at their midnight performances and is just determined to burn those who hunt her and her sisters to the ground.

Down to Where Forever Lies, Without a Doubt I'm on Your Side

✨#mcytficfight, c!Technoblade & c!Philza [Emerald Duo] ✨11.7k W.C. ✨c!Technoblade-centric ✨Graphic Descriptions & Canon Divergence ✨A gift for azlus on AO3 ✨I'll Follow You by Shinedown

Peering around once more, Technoblade walked up the steps to his partner's home, checking the time left on his potion once more. He took a deep breath before raising his hand to knock on the spruce door, hesitating. What if the crow didn’t want to come back with him? He didn’t exactly ask the man if he wanted to be broken free, just assuming and planning to bring him back without considering his opinion. Technoblade felt the first fragment of doubt creep into his mind, now dreading his appearance to surprise his partner with a sudden move across the world.

Shaking his head he taps the door in a pattern long known between them, leftover knowledge from times when they had to communicate without words. Hearing a shuffling noise before loud footsteps as Techno's chest grew tighter, his large body materialising the exact moment the crow flung open the door.

Phil’s blonde hair was messy today, his signature hat nowhere in sight to cover those golden strands. Dressed in the uniforms of their old rulings, cornflower blue and poppy red, Phil smiles widely before his eyes glance around, tugging the piglin indoors then slamming the door behind the pair. Dragging him into a tight hug the moment they are hidden from sight, Techno embraces his partner back in a strong arms. Resting his head on top of the crow’s, he closes his eyes to enjoy the feeling of having his crow back where he belonged, close to him.

Hopecanon: I’m Sorry

Vakna and Crane, April and Alex, they were laying next to each other in bed when she finally asked. “What happened between you and Wren?”

He sighed, but his face was neutral. “I figured you’d get around to asking.”

“Are you going to tell me?”

She felt the comforter move as he shrugged. “Yes. I made a promise to Irrlicht and Poirot, when we first formed the cabal. I had a particular reputation, because of something that had happened between Wren and I. I used to be in his cabal, you know. It was my first. I promised Poirot and Irrlicht that I would never use my magic against them. When you woke up in the safehouse, Irrlicht and I were having a disagreement about the particular meaning of the word ‘against.’” He smiled just slightly.

“I remember a very civil debate,” she said, dryly but not unkindly. “So…what happened between you and Wren?”

“Okay,” he adjusted his pillow and took a breath, as if he was getting ready for a long story. “My awakening…you know, you’re one of the most open mages I’ve met, both in general and in terms of their awakening story. My awakening was…very different from yours. But it shared some similarities. It was painful. I came close to death. And I was left with scars, which I asked a powerful Thyrsus to heal for me. And when he did…I stole the memory of what he had done, because I wanted those scars erased in every way possible. And he doesn’t know precisely what I did, but he was more powerful than me back then, and he knew I’d done something, manipulated something. And he hasn’t trusted me since. Rightly so. And that was Wren, and…I don’t think either of us is sure if I left of he kicked me out, but…that’s the end of that story.”

“Why would you…why would you risk so much, lose so much, just so one person wouldn’t remember a scar you used to have?” She looked at him searchingly, wrinkling her brows.

“Because…” he shrugged again, but she had a feeling he was anything but nonchalant about the subject. “One person becomes many very quickly. And I wanted those scars gone, not just physically. I’m a coward, April, I tell you my faults quite regularly and I don’t think you believe me.”

“Whenever you say you’re a coward, I think of when we fought the Azlu. And every fight since. I’ve never seen you hesitate, never falter. Yeah, you kept us away from the Pure, but…you might have been right,” she conceded. “That might have been a fight we couldn’t win. So how are a coward? Because you do say that a lot.”

“It’s terrifying, isn’t it? Being what we are. Seeing so much…even after the attack on the city, there’s so much that sleepers don’t see, so much waiting in the dark. But…this sounds trite. Maybe it’s just me. But I’ve always found some things much more frightening than any beast or manifestation.”

“So if I asked you about your scars, you wouldn’t tell me. Because you’re a coward.”

“No, I wouldn’t.”

She brushed her hand across the cold piece of iron that replaced part of the skin of his right arm.

“You told me about this.”

“Yes, I did. Poirot and Irrlicht have seen it as well. Muse hasn’t yet, but likely will, eventually. It’s surprisingly handy; turns out it fits fae magic’s definition of cold iron.”

“That’s not what I mean. You told me about Scythe…”

“Everybody knows about Scythe.”

“You’re dodging things. You told me about Scythe. It makes a difference. It means something.”

“I told you a little about Scythe. A few sentences. How she died. That doesn’t encompass a whole person. No one should be remembered by the way they died.”

Her hand moved down to grasp his, “Do you want to talk about—”

“No, I don’t.”

“You told me about Wren, and the scars.”

“Anybody who asks Wren knows that story.”

“Half of it. They don’t know about the scars, if Wren doesn’t. You told me.”

“What…what is it you want from me, April?” Frustration had started to creep into his voice.

“I…anything, Alex. Anything.”

“No, that’s not it. That’s not it, at all.” He took the hand that she held and brought it to his chest, above his heartbeat. “Not anything. Everything. This. This is what you want.”

“Why won’t you show me? I’ve let you in. I’ve let you in, in a thousand ways. But you won’t show me.”

“I did. Once.” And that was why she couldn’t help pushing, even when she knew she probably shouldn’t. Because she hadn’t been able to read wounds to the spirit the way she could now, but she had certainly been able to see them. And Alex’s…Alex’s had been terrible.

“I was only learning. I couldn’t understand what I saw.” And every time there was some story he wouldn’t tell her, some topic he avoided, she felt the ghost of that memory. And the question, what had happened to him?

“But I didn’t know that. I do know, though, what you could have seen. You know how your magic works. I felt you brushing my old scars…April, you spend your days with people and their scars, and I don’t want to be that to you. I’ve let you in…”

“With your magic. That you control. I’ve let you see everything, but your mind is filled with locked doors, like some gothic mansion, like Bluebeard’s Castle a hundred times over…”

“Am I Bluebeard, then?” He sat up.

“No, Alex, that’s not what I meant, it’s just…”

“Do you trust me?”

And she didn’t answer. He got out of bed, started getting dressed.

“I saved your life. And you won’t forgive me for it.”

“Alex…stop,” she said, her voice stop, rising and putting a hand on his arm. “How am I supposed to feel? Whether I was right or wrong, how is it supposed to work between us, if you can do things like that, when you can end an argument by putting me to sleep and hoping I’ll be more amenable when I wake up…”

“I don’t know! I don’t know why I should have the answer to that. You’re young, April, you’re young and filled with hope and the world hasn’t torn you up yet, and I just…I just want to protect you from it.”

“And it doesn’t matter what I want?”

“What about what I want? Do you know what I don’t want? I don’t want to be…to be saved. Or healed. Or fixed. But that’s what you do. People come and show you their wounds and you smile and you cry with them, but I don’t want a healer, April. I want a lover.” And she could hear frustration in his voice, but when he looked at her, she could hear the truth of the last statement in his eyes. He wanted a lover. He wanted to be loved. And she…she wanted to love him. But she couldn’t. Not like this.

“I just…I just want to know who you are.”

“But you do! You do. Why…why do you have to know everything, April, every story? Why isn’t my present enough for you?”

“I…Alex…Alex…” she sat down on the bed. “I don’t even know your name. I don’t even know your name, Alex.”

He sat down next to her. “I’m sorry.” He put an arm around her shoulders.

“For what?” she asked, quietly.

“I don’t know, but I’m sorry.” He shifted, resting his head on her shoulder. The both faced forward. It took a moment after that, a moment for gravity to do its work, before she felt the cool moisture of a tear wind its way from his face to her skin.

Soot Tags (Chronicles of Darkness)

Ever seen cobwebs made from ash after a fire? These soot tags aren’t actual webs, but magnetized particles congregating together following a blaze. Spiders never live inside them - at least in the Flesh. In the Shadow, massive black webs lurk in the corners of abandoned warehouses and dilapidated ruins. In these dark places lurk hargishar-ushumfin.

Image Source: Reddit

Desolation Crawlers appear to be spiders the size of large dogs. Instead of an exoskeleton, it has cracked coal and burnt wood. Flames leap out from between its joints and its many fractal eyes burn like orange jewels. The Spiders Fetter themselves to the buildings they will destroy, abandoning them only after reducing them to cinders. A sure sign of a hargishar-ushumfin infestation is  the dark webs they weave in Twilight.

Despite their shared arachnid form, Burning Spiders harbour a deep hatred for the Azlu. The hargishar-ushumfin prefer it when the Gauntlet remains weak, allowing them to slip back and forth between Twilight and the Shadow. Canny werewolves use this to their advantage, making common cause with the Desolation Crawlers against their shared foes. Of course, the Spiders don’t care for most packs either. They only show grudging respect for the Hunters In Darkness, Blood Talons, and Fire-Touched. For the latter two it is more out of deference for their Tribal Totems than any genuine appreciation.

While Beasts don’t always haunt the Shadow, the Begotten also show an affinity for the Desolation Crawlers, especially Eshmaki, Namtaru, and Talassii. For their part, the spirits don’t understand why Beasts care about them, only half-listening when they start rambling about the Dark Mother. The Spiders do appreciate that Beasts are content to let them hunt in their own way, unlike the Forsaken and Pure.

Heeling the Waves

by azlus

“Tommy’s nice. He can’t talk to us much anymore but he watches out for us, keeps leaving water bottles by our cubbies.”

“Can’t?”

It’s easy to forget Tommy’s a kid when he’s supposed to bring glory to his sport. At least the waves are kind, there's a comfort of the sea when it’s just him and the water and his boat. He knows it’s selfish of him to want his lungs and limbs to stop aching and a hug every once in a while but one makes due. Yet here he is, watching a goofball of a dragon boat team bulldoze down the barriers forced upon him and taking him in their arms. It turns out, that the euphoric calmness also extends beyond the waves and he hopes it stays forever.

or competitive sailor!tommy’s rocky descent into finding his footing in his sailing club again and taking his sport back, getting a family along the way.
