Two for joy: Chapter 37

To Vex’s left is Vax’ildan. 

He’s arched already, wings and daggers drawn, ready to spring. Curse the thought, but - but she wishes mother could see him now. Scrawny, silly Vax, still. Always. And yet, no matter the dark dragonhide, the gold and red mark him a hero. He’s a hero, her hero, whatever happens here.

To her right is - well, first there is Galdric. Steadfast, the white stars of his fangs bared. When offered the holy oil he drank it, wincing at the taste, tongue and teeth weeping divinity. She wonders if he has tasted the flesh of Betrayers, during the Calamity. 

And then there’s Percival. 

Shoulders back, spine straight, like seeing the Briarwoods put down like dogs has relieved him of any fear. Animus drawn, he’s taken so easily to battle again. Should she be worried it suits him so well? One hell of a hypocrite that’d make her.

Grog’s fingers bite deep into the broom’s handle, his Haste visible in the veins of his neck. Pike’s wings drift through hands and shoulders, glancing gold off her armor and others’. Keyleth beams, less sunshine and more drought, the wind hugging her tight. Scanlan takes a moment of the monologue to adjust his beret. His footprints remain pristine as he strides forward, Blessing of Avandra active. 

Vox Machina. Save Tary, save Tiberius - they’re here.

Vecna the Ascended is bone, crushed velvet and metal of secret make. Where veins would weave through him instead souls stream. No heartbeat, no pace to it, just a ceaseless torrent of screaming to echo those dying below. 

Vex looks past him - swerving through the sky are gloomstalkers. Somewhere in that melee, beneath the nascent god’s notice… ravens, wailing in outrage. 

Vex’ahlia’s wings thrum. Adjusting, to bring one over Percy’s head - it disturbs the starry twilight around her. How kind of him to take a moment and admire her. Behind her ribs is a bird, one of the Matron’s make, pecking and pecking at speed it hasn't since she came back. Demanding death, demanding destiny, demanding divinity decayed into carrion it could eat and be rid of this name once and for all. 

(And then it might eat her, too, and her name. If it can get past Scanlan.)

She finds it in herself to grin at the apocalypse.

And then her eyes flit back up to their funeral, their destiny, and she -

- it -

Vax grabs her shoulder. Vex struggles to keep her face from falling. 

In place of a heart in Vecna’s chest is their baby sister.

Last line WIP game

thank you for the tag, @three-magpies-in-a-trenchcoat!! :D

rules: make a new post and post your latest/most recent line from your WIP and tag as many people as there are words.

i'm fully assuming line means paragraph, not sentence, so i already know i'm not gonna be able to tag enough people. but i'll tag as many as i can :)

from yet another qpr!jonsasha oneshot that i'm hoping to post sometime soon:

(She'd thought it was hilarious, the fact they were fake. She'd figured it out before he even admitted it to her, and since then it had morphed into a sort of inside joke between the two of them. And it was nice, the glasses going from a facade he'd made up in a panic to something that they could both laugh at.)

yes i'm keeping the "jon's glasses are fake" thing consistent across my AUs. i think it's fun <3

tags (no pressure!!): @redminders @radical-dadical-rafael @dramaticdads @rainbowstargazerlilies

Chapters: 8/? Fandom: Danny Phantom, Batman - All Media Types Rating: Not Rated Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Danny Fenton & Damian Wayne, Batfamily Members & Danny Fenton Characters: Danny Fenton, Bruce Wayne, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth Additional Tags: Good Sibling Damian Wayne, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Danny Fenton and Damian Wayne are Twins, Danny Fenton Needs A Hug, Implied/Referenced Torture, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Not Phantom Planet Compliant (Danny Phantom), Bad Parents Jack and Maddie Fenton, Gun Violence, Blood and Violence, Gunshot Wounds, Mugging, Medical Torture, Vivisection Summary:

“If you ever find yourself in danger, go to Bruce Wayne. He will help you.”

His mother had loved him, in her own way. If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have helped him escape. If she hadn’t, she would have dragged him back to the League of Assassins, to Grandfather. If she hadn’t, he’d be dead.

She loved him, but she loved the League more.

Jack and Maddie Fenton loved him too, they did, but they loved their work more.

They loved their work more.

--

After his parents react poorly to his reveal, Danny escapes to the only person he thinks can help him - Bruce Wayne. He doesn't know what to expect when he gets there, but it has to be better than where he is, surely? He certainly doesn't expect to be reunited with his long lost twin brother Damian. It's funny how things work out that way.

Danny is 16 years old, not Phantom Planet compliant

Chapter 8!! Chapter 8!! Chapter 8!!

[boilingheart]

i beat bg3 today but the ending i got for gale soured the entire fucking experience now i have to go back over a hundred hours to go redo this shit so i can get the "good" ending because what i just got simply was NOT IT

[zahra-hydris]

already thinking about a second ammabel playthrough of RT, one correcting some of my mistakes (due to lack of knowledge about the w40k lore) and how I've developed her throughout the game

[erabundus]

banishing  myself  to  my  drafts  today ...  i  will  surface  when  i’ve  managed  to  make  a  dent ...  this  is  a  promise  (  threat?  ) ...

[t-t-p-d]

idk but sometimes i just sit around and realise life isn't that bad after all

[primal-con]

Really freaking sorry if this comes off as annoying or pushy, but I was wondering how often you’ll update ‘A Different Kind of Rescue’? I really hope this isn’t a pressuring ask and I know writing can be time consuming and that you have your own life to tend to- but I also love your story and wanna keep tabs on its activity ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

Don't worry, you're not being pushy at all! Honestly it really warms my heart to see people actively following my story even between updates <3

All in all, I think new chapters can be expected monthly (give or take). I'm in the middle of an unusually hectic time, as in sounds completely made up or like the plot of some half-baked drama hectic, which is the main reason I don't have as much time to write currently. Work, social life, and unforeseen circumstances have been putting the hurt on my chronic fatigue. But once things calm down I'll be able to write a bit more consistently!

Regardless, I really enjoy working on A Different Kind of Rescue. It's been a fantastic writing challenge and fanfic is something I've really missed so I have no intentions of stopping it any time soon. I have Tons of stuff planned, things will just be slow going these first few chapters so readers should expect gaps. In the meantime though, I absolutely encourage sending asks about the fic! Even when I've got little time for writing, I'm more than thrilled to keep the conversation going! Thank you for asking :D <33

[fenharel-apologist94]

Since life is chaotic and the next chapters of both fics might be a bit slower to get out, may I offer you a scrapped idea for Not Another Dragon Age Fanfic, featuring the possibility of Kieran not making it?

(I ended up scrapping it because I don't plan on killing him, if that helps~)

“You promised!” Sethari shouted, shaking furiously. Tears fell freely down her cheeks, but she stood straight, eyes burning angry holes into Solas’ skull. 

“I know,” he whispered. He wished he could tell her just how much he, too, was shattering into smaller and smaller pieces. “I know, I’m sorry.” 

A howl tore from the very depth of Sethari’s gut, so terrible she hunched with the force of it. “You promised you would bring him back to me, you promised, Fen’Harel.” She snapped her eyes to his and he saw the simmering rage in their depths. “This is what I get for trusting the Great Betrayer.” 

“Da’len,” he started, but Sethari lunged forward. She fisted her hand into his tunic and brought her snarling face to his. 

“Don’t you dare call me da’len,” she spat. “Tell me, how does it feel to live up to your legacy?”

They’re so alike. The thought crossed Solas’ mind before he could stop it, and it winded him to remember when Kieran had done the same, when he had grabbed him and demanded the truth from him so long ago. He wanted to close his eyes, to shut out the memory of her brother, but he forced himself to look at her. The effort nearly broke him. 

He couldn’t offer her anything. There was nothing he wouldn’t give to change things – he would offer his own beating heart for the sacrifice if it meant Kieran could be here, with those who loved him. When Sethari realized he had nothing to say, she released him and staggered back, covering her face with one hand. 

“Leave,” she whispered to him. “And never let me catch your scent, Dread Wolf.”

Thought I was going to have to go to the post office in some of the grossest gross-ass winter yuckweather (which is saying a lot bc the weather here is always gross) but I called them ahead with my package slip in hand and it turns out it's just a belated reminder from a package already delivered, meaning I don't have to go out in the yuck!

[thorinkingoferebor]

many andor thoughts again but mainly just sad :( I was kind of expecting sad things to happen in the final episode next week (to get us to the "you're not the only one who lost everything"-mindset) but now i'm apprehensive.... i really can't see this ending well based on what we know but... i also really need some catharsis next week because damn this episode was rough :(
